Amasa Breck was born at Medfield, Mass., in 1788. Early in life he removed to Bristol, R. I., where he engaged in the manufacture of saddles, harness and trunks. Here, in 1815, he married Miss Nancy Hoar. Bristol not proving a satisfactory location he removed in 1829 to Newport, and the next year to Providence, where he estab- lished the same business. The increasing demand for his trunks induced him to abandon his other manufactures and to estab- lish a manufactory of trunks. To this he applied his characteristic indomitable energy and thrift, coupled with a strict integrity, and soon took the lead in that branch of busi- ness. His manufactory was highly prosperous during his lifetime, and was left to his sons Thomas and William, who still carry it on at the same location. Mr. Breck was a genial and social companion, though of very decided opinions, and a devout member of the Episcopal Church. He was stricken down by typhoid fever at the age of 58. The above picture is copied from a portrait now in the possession of his son Thomas.

Subject: Priscilla, wife of Benjamin Hoar
I've had a major breakthrough re: "Mrs. Priscilla Gladding who m. Benjamin Hoar in 1785" Bristol Town Council and Probate Court, Book #2, Part 1, 1760-1792, page 361. On 5 December 1791, "Benjamin Hoar and Priscilla his wife appeared in council and prayed that administration might be granted to them on ther personal estates of her first husband, Joseph Pool, late of Bristol, mariner, deceased and also of her second late husband Ebenezer Gladding, late of said Bristol, mariner, deceased which was granted, they giving bond and performing other things as the law directs, Shearz. Bourn, Esq., and Nathaniel Pearse, Jr. yeoman are to give bond with said adminstrators."

Yep, some progress was made. However, this Joseph Pool guy is proving elusive, too, although there is a Joseph Pool who was living in Providence in 1777 and is recorded in the Military Census. This will take a day at the RI Archives to try to hunt him down.
So, having spent a day in Bristol chasing Priscilla, at the moment, here's where I am leaning. I don't have any idea if she was a Waldron. There are two things that suggest she could be; the naming of her son John Waldron Hoar(d) and if you back up 77 from 1835, the year of her death, it comes to 1758, which was the year she would have been born, if she was the dtr of John and Elizabeth (?) Waldron.
There were two John and Elizabeth Waldrons in Bristol.
There was John Waldron, Esq. b. in 1727, son of Joseph and Martha (Newton) Waldron. John married before 1751 Elizabeth (Allin), dtr of Mathew and Ruth (Stockbridge) Allin of Barrington.
There was John Waldron, Blacksmith, b. 1738, son of Cornelius and Ann (Throop) Waldron of Bristol. This John likely married Eliza (Martin) on 22 February 1757.
Here's the major problem, notwithstanding that I haven't found a marriage record for Priscilla (?) to Joseph Pool. The wills of John and Elizabeth (Allin) Waldron don't name her. She survived her parents by some 35 years, and was 15 years into her marriage with Benjamin Hoar with 6 kids, before her father died. John Waldron, blacksmith died intestate, as did his wife Eliza. Matthew Allin survived long enough to leave a will, and Priscilla isn't referenced. Could she have been a black sheep? Three marriages to mariners, but the first two died. Or, is it a concidence that Shearjashub Bourne was one of the yeoman who gave bond to Benjamin and Priscilla Hoar in 1791? Mr. Bourne was the husband of Ruth Waldron, dtr of John and Elizabeth (Allin) Waldron, so this Bourne would have been her brother-in-law.
I don't she is from this family.
So, if she is a Waldron, then is she the dtr of the other John and Eliza (Martin) Waldron? They don't seem to have had any children according to Bristol records, except maybe Priscilla, 11 months after they were married? One researcher in 1966 claimed the birth records that seem to place her in the family of John and Elizabeth (Allin) Waldron were recorded wrong because the transcriber forgot to add a 2nd after John Waldron, blacksmith's name. I have seem the handwritten draft that was copied by the LDS folks in 1980, not the orginal record, and there is no obvious 2nd recorded.
If we look at naming pattern of the children of Benjamin and Priscilla (?) Hoar,
Elizabeth- after her mother?
Hannah- paternal ggreat-mother?
John Waldron- father?
Mary?
William- Benjamin's father?
Abner-?

John Waldron, blacksmith, also had an older sister named Priscilla who died in 1741. Could he have named a dtr after? He was only 3 when his sister died.
So, as I tie this up, as a measuring stick, I would not feel ready to submit this to the Mayflower folks as Elizabeth Allin is a Richard Warren descendant. It doesn't stand on its own. Not yet.
I am treating her as someone with an unknown surname for the time being.
