Ellen presented "an inventory of the goods and chattels of her late husband, John Adams,
deceased, upon oath, Nov. 11, 1633... She is sometimes called Eleanor and Helen. She is
supposed to have been Ellen Newton, to whom land was granted in 1623, among those who came
in the Anne. In June 1634, she married Kenelm Winslow, of Marshfield, and died in that
town. She was buried Dec. 5, 1681, "being 83 years old"."
