and ch. Sarah, 15; John, 11; Ruth, 7; Theophilus, 3; Rebecca, 2; and
Elizabeth 1/2; all set forth in this docum. Of course the common report, that
he was s. of William of Abergavenny in Co. Monmouth, and ent. Jesus

Mary, Nathaniel, James, and John, and d. a. 1667. Belkn. I. 28. JOHN,
New Haven, d. 1657. His inv. shows clear est. �311, but whether he
