	==Candidates for the historical Daniel Weston==		==Candidates for the historical Daniel Weston==
			===Thomas Weston===
			One theory holds that Chris actually meant to say {{w\|Thomas Weston (merchant adventurer)\|Thomas Weston}} (1584–c. 1647), an English merchant who funded the ''Mayflower''. This is dubious, as Thomas's only child, Elizabeth, married Roger Conant and adopted his surname. Her children, Samuel and John, bore the "Conant" surname.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Weston-7598</ref> Although either Samuel or John ''could'' be an ancestor of Barbara, they would not be the origin of the "Weston" surname.

Daniel Weston may have been a descendent of {{w\|Richard Weston, 1st Earl of Portland}} (1 March 1577 – 13 March 1634/1635), who was Chancellor of the Exchequer and later Lord Treasurer of England under {{w\|James I of England\|James I}} and {{w\|Charles I of England\|Charles I}}. He was created 1st Baron Weston in 1628 and 1st Earl of Portland in 1633. He is most likely the Richard Weston mentioned in the [[Rental House Tour]] and [[Date with Catherine]]. Chris claims that Richard "preceeded" Daniel but is not sure what their exact relationship was.

			===Sir Richard Weston (canal builder)===
			A less likely possibility is that Daniel Weston was a descendent of {{w\|Richard Weston (canal builder)\|Sir Richard Weston}} (1591–1652), an English canal builder and agricultural improver. Richard broadly lived around the time of the ''Mayflower'', and he was a descendant of {{w\|Sir Francis Weston}}, who was (dubiously) accused of adultery with [[Anne Boleyn]]. Although he was not a member of the nobility, he was knighted in 1622. Barb may have confused this Richard Weston with the more illustrious one mentioned above.
