that James, whose gr.stone says, that he "d. 24 Aug. 1734, aged 60 yrs.
20 days." JEFFREY, Windsor, m. 25 Nov. 1642, Joan, d. of William

JOHN, Ipswich, 1634, freem. 14 May of that yr. perhaps, is in later yrs.
ment. in the town rec. with prefix of respect; yet so frequent is the concur.
of this name of bapt. with the surname, as to justify doubt, whether
that day's freem. were not JOHN, ment. by Frothingham, 80, as com. to
Charlestown 1630, and rem. 1637, or that JOHN, of wh. Winthrop II. 29,
tells, how he rem. from Boston to Newbury, grew rich too fast, went
thence to York, and back with contrition to B. Assignm. of resid. becomes
especial. diffic. in such cases, as in the freem. of 2 June 1641,
where twice John Baker is count. and after minute comparis. of the incid.
belong. to the names above and below each John, a confid. conject. may be

var. Ipswich, John had, also, Martha, w. m. Obadiah Antrim.To this
Ipswich John and his w. Elizabeth the wid. Alice Ward gave, on her deathbed,
Mar. 1653, her d. Sarah and her prop. to bring up the said ch. For the other,
Charlestown is entitl. unless better claim. appear, for he had, by w. Rebecca,
there bapt. Sarah 13 Sept. 1640, may be the JOHN, wh. rem. 1642 to Dover,
and was rep. 1650. JOHN, Boston, that early mem. of the ch. wh. by, w.
Charity had Charity, bapt. 12 Apr. 1635, may be the freem. of 18 May 1642.
JOHN of Wells, wh. may be the man, that had ho. in 1675 on w. side of Kennebeck
liv. near Arowsick isl. when the war broke out, was, we kn. sw.
freem. 1653; but tolerab. sure am I, that JOHN of Woburn was not,
since he was sentenc. to be whip. and to m. Susanna Martin (the inflict.
of the latter pt. of the punish. being on 28 May 1654); by her he had
John, b. 25 Mar. preced. Mary, 22 Feb. 1656; Joseph, 15 June 1657,
