| Notes |
- Shanks' wife Abigail is shown by a patent book to be a servant transported in 1650 to Maryland by Robert Brooke, Esq. Another patent book provides the names of Brooke's servants brought by him in 1650, and the only maid servant named Abigail is "Abagail Mountague". Also bolstering this statement is the fact that John Shanks in his 1683 will named an Indian servant boy living in his house that he called "James Monticue."
Robert Brooke, Esq. (1602-1655), had ties to Hampshire, Sussex, and London. There was an Abigail Montague christened in London in 1639 who left neither a marriage or death record there. That might be a place to check for the origin of John Shanks' wife.
