head of the regim. later; had for sec. w. Mary, wid. of John Gwin of
Charlestown, but not any ch. is kn. unless Samuel, wh. d. says the rec.
28 Dec 1638 were one. He has high charact. in Wonder Work.
Provid. and d. 3 or 13 Nov. 1672. His will was made 23 Sept. 1672,
as in our Vol. VII. at the Reg. is kn. and his wid. 26 Jan. foll. made her

    LUSON or LEUSON, JOHN, Dedham 1637, one of the found. of the
ch. freem. 13 Mar. 1639, d. May 1661, his will of 15 Feb. preced. in
