JAMES, Plymouth, s. of John of the same, wh. was of the first comers,
went, 1643, to Marshfield, soon after to Scituate, there m. 16 July 1646,
Frances, d. of William Vassall, had William, b. 16 May 1647; Ann, 18
Apr. 1649; Richard, 19 Apr. 1651, d. soon; Mary, 27 Jan. 1653; and
Margaret, 1654; all bapt. at the sec. ch. of S. Deane says, beside Martha,
wh. m. 1678, Benjamin Pierce. On board the James of Plymouth
one James, not prob. this man, d. 19 Jan. 1603, of wh. Kenelm Winslow
was made admr. JAMES, Concord, 1672. JEREMY, Braintree, perhaps
1632, rem. soon to Cambridge, then call. Newtown, freem. 6 May 1635,
rem. next yr. to Hartford, had three ws. of wh. the first is unkn. by
name, by her he had Samuel, b. it is said 1643, bapt. certain. 23 Nov.
1645; and perhaps more. His sec. w. Rebecca, wid. of Samuel Greenhill,
d. 1678, and by her he had other ch. prob. Ann, wh. m. Robert Sanford;
Elinor, wh. m. Nathaniel Willet; and John, unless one or two were
by former w. Rebecca, wid. of the sec Andrew Warner, and d. of John
Fletcher, was his third w. He long kept the ordinary, and d. 11 Aug.
1683, in his will, made seven days bef. he div. his est. half to childr. of s.
John, and half to those of d. Willet. His wid. was 77 yrs. old at her d.
25 June 1715, and, no doubt, had provis. from the est. JOHN, Plymouth,
one of the first comers, arr. in the Fortune, 9 Nov. 1621, m. Ellen or
Elinor Newton, as the sagacity of Judge Davis presum. for she came in
the Ann, 1623, and was prob. the only fem. N. of Chesapeak Bay with
such bapt. name. He d. 1633, leav. w. and ch. James, John, and Susanna;
and the rec. 24 Oct. of that yr. shows decent est. for that day.
The wid. m. June foll. Kenelm Winslow. JOHN, Cambridge, brot. from
Eng. w. Ann, and d. Rebecca, bapt. bef. says Mitchell's Reg. when he
adds five of the other ch. bapt. in his ch. in right of the mo. for the f. did
not join bef. 13 May 1666, viz. Mary, b. 25 Oct. 1652; John, 1 May
1655; and Joseph; but the "matchless" registrar does not ment. the
day or days of bapt. tho. our thanks are hearty for his care to name
Hannah, b. 8 Aug. 1657, bapt. 17 June 1660; and Daniel, 14 Sept. 1652.
But Hannah d. early in 1661, 25 Jan. acc. Mitchell, 25 Feb. by Harris
Epit. 169; and Daniel, d. 14 May 1685. Ano. Daniel had preced. him,
but liv. not, I presume, long eno. to be bapt. He was a millwright, and
Dr. Bond conject. that he was s. of George of Watertown, and when that
was seen to be impossib. he suppos. he was br. So numberless are the
shoots of this name, that I dare not foll. even so judicious a leader in this
expedit. That he was s. of Henry the first, as amiable credulity would
assume, is highly improb. since he came twenty yrs. or little less after that
great N. E. progenitor, and so long outliv. him dying betw. June and Oct.
1706, and his w. still liv. Rebecca m. 24 Nov. 1669, Nathaniel Patten,
and d. 18 Dec. 1677; Mary m. John Eames of Watertown, and d. 1681.
