s. of the first Nathaniel, m. 27 Mar. 1673, Sarah, d. of Gov. Hinckley,
had Nathaniel, b. 9 Sept. 1674 ; Mary, 9 Oct. 1677; Elizabeth 11 Apr.

Bacon, beside sis. Judith in O. E. Some community of origin may be, perhaps,
traced to this tradit. and to that of Michael; yet the flight from the rebellion
