Pollard, but d. perhaps late in 1694, at Yarmouth, without issue (as the
wid. m. 27 Apr. 1699, Jeremiah Jones of the same, and his will of 7
Oct. 1693, names only w. Elizabeth and brs. John, Joseph, Nathaniel, Gershom,
William, Benjamin, and Elisha), John, bapt. 13 May 1638; Shebar, 9 Jan. 1640,
both d. young; by w. Elizabeth Larned had John, 21 Sept. 1645; Elizabeth 4 Sept. 1647,
d. soon; Elizabeth again, 21 Nov. 1648; and he rem. to Barnstable and Yarmouth,
where more ch. were b. No little confusion, after large scrutiny, exists
as to the men of this name, so that it may be there was one John at
Barnstable at the same time there was one at Charlestown, but it is not
prob.; at least it is certain, that the ch. rec. of B. proves, that s. of
John, there bapt. were Joseph, 3 July 1642; Benjamin, 14 July 1644, d. in
few days; Nathaniel, 8 Feb. 1646; Gershom, 5 Mar. 1648; William, 8 June
1651; Benjamin, again, 29 May 1653; and Elisha. His will, of 15 July 1694,
pro. 29 Aug. 1696, names the eight liv. s. JOHN, Kittery 1640. JOHN, Dover,
brot. Ralph, b. 1617; John, 1619; Stephen, and perhaps other ch. from Eng.
very early. Ano. JOHN of Dover 1642, had Joseph, one d. that m. a Dame,
and Sarah, that m. Richard Rook; was a serg. in 1649, and d. 1677.
JOHN, Roxbury, wh. in the ch. rec. has prefix of respect, I presume, was
the freem. of 6 May 1635, unless he may rather be reckoned of 13 May
1640; but as no further ment. of him occurs here, perhaps he rem. with
the gr. migra. to Conn. and was at Hartford 1644, where he m. as sec.
w. Ann, d. of John Wilcox, and at Middletown 1654, where he d.
26 May 1673, aged 89. His will of few days bef. ment. s. Richard, John,
and Samuel, d. Sarah, w. of Thomas Whitmore, m. 11 Dec. 1645,
and (1. 7 Dec. 1661. He says it was the 40th yr. of liv. in N. E. JOHN, Lynn,
perhaps as early as Mr. Lewis would have him, or 1630, possib. the freem.
of 13 May 1640, and may have been a short time at Salem 1637, bec. one of
the first propr. 1640, of Salisbury,
hav. prefix of respect, m. 3 Apr. 1641, Rebecca, wid. of Henry Byley, had
John, b. 18 Mar. 1642; and d. bef. 22 Aug. 1650, when his wid. m. Rev. William
Worcester. JOHN, Boston, was one of the selectmen 1657, and ens. JOHN,
Dover 1650, s. of John of the same, b. in Eng. 1617, was a deac. 1657, by w. Elizabeth
d. of Thomas Laighton, had John, b. a. 1649; Ralph; Hatevil; Nathaniel; and perhaps
more, certain. Grace, 16 Mar. 1664; was a man of many offices, d. a. 1693, or 4, leav.
good prop. was f. of that John who was there drown. 1697. JOHN, Newport 1638, was
freem. there in 1655. JOHN, New Haven 1639, had been of Boston, m. Jane Wallen or
Woolen, had John and Sarah, both bapt. 9 Aug. 1646; John, and Sarah, again, in the list
next yr. are by me disbeliev.; Samuel, 21 May 1648; Thomas, 25 Mar. 1649; Jonathan, b.
5, bapt. 13 not 15 Apr. 1651; obs. that the bapt. are very untrustworthy; and David,
b. 18, says the careful town rec. wh. disproves the blundering ch. rec. of bapt. 15 Mar.
1653, as print. in Geneal. Reg. IX. 359; was freed from train. in 1665,being 60 yrs.
old; rem. to Wallingford among early sett. a. 1670, there d. early in 1676, leav. wid.
