     William Heale married Priscilla Downman, daughter of William (II) Downman and Million Travers, circa 1724; Her 1st marriage. This appears to be an error on the part of Downman Family [1909:139] and the name of Priscilla's husband was William Heale, not George Heale. See Note for additional discussion.^1,5,6
     ; There may be some confusion about who Priscilla Downman's first husband was.
     Downman Family [1909:139] says that Priscilla, dau. of William II and Million (Travers) Downman, m. Capt. George Heale. There is no reference to a 2nd marriage for Priscilla.
     Hill [1990:46] says that the Priscilla Downman who m2 Joseph Chinn (his 2nd wife) was the "widow" of William Heale.
     "Our Research" Family Tree on Rootsweb shows that Priscilla, dau. of William II and Million (Travers) Downman, m1 William Heale and m2 Joseph Chinn, citing:
