JACHIN, Rowley, s[on]. of Rev. John the first, m[arried]. 22 Nov. 1662, Elizabeth prob[ably]. d[aughter]. of Edward Denison, wh[o]. d[ied]. perhaps 7 May 1672, had d[aughter]. Elizabeth and by ano[ther]. w[ife]. had Ann, b[orn]. 23 July 1678; d[ied]. 8 July 1708, and perhaps his w[ife]. d[ied]. ten y[ea]rs. bef[ore].

[His father] JOHN, Plymouth, br[other[. of Humphrey, b[orn]. at Gildersome, was bred at Magdalen Coll[ege] Cambridge, where he had his A. B. 1625, m[arried]. one of four coheiresses named Boyes of his native parish and Rev. Peter Prudden is kn[own]. to have taken ano[ther]. came a[bout]. 1635, perhaps with first w[ife]. by wh[om]. he had Jachin; and Hannah, wh[o]. m[arried]. Sept. 1660, Job Lane often; beside an elder d[aughter]. wh[o] was once thought, but erron[eously]. the first wife of Michael Wigglesworth, m[arried]. 1642, for sec[ond]. w[ife]. Frances Clark, had John, H[arvard]. C[ollege]. 1663; Joseph, 15 Apr. 1650, d[ied]. at two y[ea]rs.; Elizabeth Dorothy; Abigail; and Judith, wh[o]. perhaps bec[ame]. w[ife]. of Rev. Jabez Fox of Woburn. One of the d[aughter]s. whose name is lost from the Col[ony]. Rec[ord]. was b[orn]. 26 Dec. 1647. After 18 y[ea]rs. of serv[ice]. at P[lymouth]. he rem[oved]. to Dover, there d[ied]. 20 Apr. 1669. He had est[ates]. at Gildersome, the place of his nativ[ity]. in the parish of Batley in the W[est]. riding of Yorksh[ire]. near Leeds, where the celebr[ated]. Dr. Priestly was b[orn]. His will, made only one or two days bef[ore]. he d[ied]. pro[bably]. 30 June foll[owing]. directs the div[ision]. of rents from his l[an]ds. at Gildersome, provides for his w[ife]. and their five ch[ildren]. having formerly provid[ed]. for ch[ildren]. by first w[ife]. and in case his w[ife]. m[arried]. again, carefully devises both the Dover and Eng. est[ates]. Mr. Hunter, in Early Hist[ory]. of the Founders of New Plymouth, 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 84, supposed he may be derived from Bassetlaw in Co[unty]. Notts. But he was b[orn]. at no gr[eat]. distance, as the same accurate inquirer, in his revised work, London 1854, pp. 118 and 119, proves. He made his name Reyner.
