Names included brother, Edward Searle (son of Edward Searle and Elizabeth Gifford), sisters Mansfield (Marie Searle m. to John Mansfield. Marie was a sister to his first wife, Sarah Sale, deSouth Carolina.), Preston (Elizabeth Searle m. to William Preston, Elizabeth was the oldest sister of his first wife, Sarah Sale), Ingraham (?), and (Hope) Foster (probable wife of William Foster also mentioned, unknown relationship to Sales), Ephraim Serle (to which he gave his house) (unknown relationship to Sales?), Alice Searle (unknown), Hannah Searle (unknown), Daniel Preston, Jr. (nephew-in-law through first wife's sister, Elizabeth); cousin, Joseph Alsop, Jr.(even though he calls him cousin, Joseph is actually his nephew-in-law through his first wife); brother, James Brett and cousin Samuel Brett; and Elizabeth and her sister Mercy (with unstated surnames and unknown relationship).
