"1. John1 Fenno, who was granted twenty acres of land in Unquity (Milton), in 1660, was probably a son of Rebecca Fenno … though the proof positive is lacking. He evidently built upon his land immediately, for in the Dorchester records, in 1661, is this entry: 'We have layd out and staked the way two rodd and halfe broad from the meeting house at unquetie from John Gills land and Robert Redmans land to Johu Fennos house leading to the way to the Blue Hills.' A farmer and soldier in King Philip's war in 1675, he died in Milton, April 7, 1708, aged 79, which would make the date of his birth about 1629. The name of his wife has not been ascertained. In his will, dated August, 1702, he refers to his property in 'Lancashire in ye Realme of England,' and the hope was harbored that in that county was his old world home, but a search of the Lancashire wills has failed to reveal the name of Fenno or Fenner."
