!MARR: NEHGR Vol 107 (July 1953) p236 "Marriage Record of James
Penniman and Lydia Elliot:--It has long been known that Lydia, the
wife of James Penniman, of Braintee, was the daughter of Bennet
Eliot of Widford and Nazing, co. Essex, England, who is in his will
names a daughter Lydia (see Waters' Gleanings, pp904-5).  From her
will and that of her second husband, Thomas Wight, of Medfield she
is shown to be the sister of John Eliot (the Indian Apostle), but
the date of marriage has not been known apparently.  From the copy
of the Boyd Marriage Index in Salt Lake City, I learned of the
marriage in 1631 of James Pemiman [sic] and Lydia -- in the parish
of High Laver, co. Essex.  Upon sending to England for a copy of the
record the vicar has given me a copy of the entry in the parish
record as follows:
1631 James Penieman and Lydia his wife were married 26th July 1631.
Unfortunately her surname was omitted in the record but as High
Laver is not far from Nazing the identity seems unquestionable.
According to Savage they probably came in the 'Lyon' in November
1631 to Boston where they were admitted to the church at the same
time as John and Jacob Eliot (her brother) who she evidently
accompanied here.
