Wyeth, jr. was d. Elizabeth m. John Russell; Hannah m. Timothy Carter; and
Abigail m. Henry Baldwin; both of Woburn. DAVID, Cambridge, of the
preced. freem. 1684, by w. Sarah Day, perhaps d. of Robert, m. at
Ipswich, 17 June 1674, had David, b. 5 Jan. 1677; Jonathan, 19 May
1679; Ann, 2 Apr. 1683; Robert, 8 Mar. 1689; and perhaps that Ebenezer
wh. d. at Lexington 10 Dec. 1775, aged 84. Bond says, his w. d. 22
Apr. 1729; and he d. says the gr.stone, 23 Oct. 1729. DAVID,
Watertown, s. of the first Nathan, m. 15 Dec. 1675, Elizabeth d. of George
Reed of Woburn, had Nathan, b. a. 1676; and David, 11 Dec. 1678. He d.
a. 1694. JAMES, Salem 1641, or earlier, s. of Thomas of Co. Suff.
Eng. unless he were s. of Phineas, as to me seems more prob. freem. 18
May 1642, rem. to Haverhill, there by w. Ann had James, b. 8 Aug.
1649; John, 10 Dec. 1651; Ann, 1654, d. soon; Ann, again, 1656; and
Samuel, 1 Nov. 1658. JAMES, Groton, s. prob. of Phineas, b. in Eng.
but we kn. little of him, exc. from his will of 14 June 1689, that nam. s.
John, Samuel, and Thomas, beside d. Hannah; but prob. his w. was d. and
he d. 4 July foll. His excors. were Nathaniel Lawrence, and Jonas Prsecott,
wh. I judge the first of those names in that town. As Butler, in his valua. Hist.
did not ment. him, it may be presum. that he had not long resid. there, or, at
least, that neither of the ch. was b. in that place. JOHN, Wenham, s. of that John
wh. d.
1633 (and was s. of William, s. of Robert, wh. was s. of Richard of Laxfield
in Queen Mary's time); b. as Mather tells (in Magn. III. c. 24), a. 1601,
at St. James parish in South Elmham, a subdiv. of the hundred of
Wangford, Co. Suff. bred at King's Coll. Cambr. there took his A. B.
1625, tho. Mather makes it Emanuel, m. a. eight and twenty yrs. of
age, by the same auth. 1629, Ann Gipps of Frinshall, Co. Norf. had, as
tradit. said, two ch. wh. d. inf. but two others he brot. with his w.
and a younger br. perhaps William, to Boston, 1637, sat down first at
Cambridge, but rem. the same yr. to Salem, freem. 2 Nov. 1637, taught
the gr. sch. among his pupils one being famous afterward as Sir George
Downing, min.
for Cromwell and Charles II. at the Hague, had John, b.
29 Aug. bapt. 2 Sept. 1638, d. under nine yrs.; Sarah, 24, bapt. 26
July 1640; Moses, b. at Wenham, 12 Apr. bapt. at Salem by Mr. Norris
in June 1642, H. C. 1662; he had preach. occasional. for Hugh Peters,
and rem. to be min. at Wenham, ord. 8 Oct. 1644, had there Ann, 15
Jan. bapt. 12 Mar. 1646, being the first bapt. in that ch. Eliezur, 8,
bapt. 14 Feb. 1647, d. young; rem. 1655 to and was min. of Chelmsford,
where his w. Ann d. 14 Feb. 1672, "after liv. with him a. 37 yrs."
This renders Mather's acco. of the m. in 1629, impossib. and also the
tradit. of his hav. had four ch. in Eng. as she was his first w. and
makes it prob. that he brot. only one ch. On 1 Aug. foll. he m. Elizabeth
wid. of Edmund Henchman, and he d. 14 Jan. 1677. His d. Ann m. Capt.
John Brown of Reading
, and d. 30 May 1681, aged 35. * JOHN, Wenham, s.
of Phineas of the same, b. in Eng. constable 1643, rep. 1669, d. 1683,
leav. wid. Remember, wh. m. 1689, William Goodhue, as his fourth w.
and ch. John, freem. 1685; Samuel; Noah; Elizabeth and Remember, wh. m. 21
Jan. 1690, Nehemiah Abbot; beside, it is said, one other ch. JOHN, Watertown
1648, m. 11 Dec. 1651, Sarah, eldest d. of Nicholas Wyeth of Cambridge, had
