had w. Mary and s. John, an inf. as his will of 14 Jan. 1662, only two or
three days bef. his d. shows. To ea. he gave half of his est. and his
wid. m. John Lux. By her will of 8 Sept. 1664, she gave some of her

was in high repute as physician, and treasr. of Newport 1640, and there
was liv. 1646. THOMAS, Dorchester, freem. 14 May 1634, rem. bef.
1643 to New Haven, prob. with Eaton in 1638, had serv. with reput. in

WILLIAM, Weymouth, one of the earliest sett. in Mass. Bay, bef. Gov. Winthrop
or even capt. Endicot, prob. first at Cape Ann, and may have drift. along

claims him for Ipswich, but of course this would be some yrs. later.
He desir. adm. 19 Oct. 1630, and was sw. freem. 18 May foll. I think he
may have had Mary, b. 20 Mar. 1642, and tradit. gives him s. John.

seen in the list of freem. at Newport 1655, where he d. 2 Jan. 1675,

shire; it names his w. Mary, eldest d. Mary, w. of John Green of N.;
s. Thomas, ds. Sarah, w. of James Barker; Priscilla, and Susanna, and
brs. of his w. John and Daniel Gould.
