  Father	John HEALD,   b. England d. 24 May 1662, Concord Village, Middlesex Co, Massachusetts Bay Colony
  Mother	Dorothy (UNKNOWN),   b. England d. 29 Oct 1694, Dedham, Norfolk Co, Massachusetts Colony
  Notes	John Heald's 1662 Concord will names his three eldest children and speaks of five unnamed children who are under the age of 21 years. There are extant birth records for only three of the five unnamed children. Numerous old genealogies and recently Threlfall's Fifty Great Migration Colonists To New England & Their Origins add Thomas Heald and Isaac Heald as the two Heald children for whom there are no birth records. No primary evidence has been found to support these claims.
