Parents of Miriam Dibble

Question

Is there any evidence of [[Grant-195|Miriam's]] surname or parents? I have yet to find any. There is speculation she was the sister of [[Grant-201|Matthew Grant]] of Windsor. Also that she was of the family of [[Ford-41|Thomas Ford]]. Both settled in Windsor, as did the Dibble family, and neither Matthew Grant or Thomas Ford seems to have been from Yorkshire. If there is documentation for her parents can we see it posted on her profile?

Thanks, James Paxton

Answer 1

Anderson doesn't give her any name or parents, other than Miriam.  Below, from the entry for Robert Dibble, father of Thomas:

CHILDREN:
i. FRANCES b. about 1611 (aged 24 in 1635 [Hotten 285]: no
further record.
ii. THOMAS, b. about 1613 (aged 22 in 1635 [Hotten 285]); m. (1)
by 1637 Miriam ____ (eldest known child b. Windsor 29
August 1637(Grant 31); m. (2) Windsor 25 June 1683
Elizabeth (____) (Hawks) Hinsdale ("Tho[mas] Dible
Senior of Windsor [and] Eliz[abeth] Hensdell ot Hadly“
[CTVR 52]), widow of John Hawks and ROBERT
HINSDALE (1637, Dedham) [Hinsdale Gen 62],

ASSOCIATIONS: Abraham Dibble appeared in Boston by 1648, and resided later in Haddam and Suffield in Connecticut; and John Dibble appeared in Springfield in the early 1640s [Savage 2:46]. Nothing other than identity of surname suggests a relationship among these three men.
Research in English records might resolve this problem.

Answer 2

I have not found anything proving that she was a Grant or a Ford. I haven't found anything to say her name was Miriam. I've posted what I could find on her profile, and left a message for the managers to change the Last name at birth and disconnect.
