there was two JOHNS at N. acc. Jackson, p. 20, one disting. as South,
the other as East, it may be hard to determ. Yet of the Newton John,
s. of the first John of the same, Jackson teach. that by w. Mary,
he had John, b. 17 Aug. 1687; Mary, 3 Mar. 1690; Deborah, 11
Feb. 1693; Sarah, 24 Mar. 1695; and Thomas, 9 Jan. 1700; and
d. Oct. 1713. His wid. d. Mar. 1715. JOHN, came from London
1671, in the Arabella, but it is altogether doubtful where he sat
down, or whether he had not bef. liv. on this side and gone home
on business. JOHN, Andover, s. of Nathan, m. 24 May 1687, Hannah
Brown, but I fell uncert. as ano. JOHN was of Andover, s.
of Joseph, and neither of these, s. of Joseph or Nathan, was likely to be
h. of that Alice, old enough to be hanged for a witch in the fanaticism of
1692. However, the s. of Nathan, named John, had John, Nathan,
Benjamin, and James, of whom the last three says Farmer, were proprs.
of Concord N. H. 1726, and he d. 1738. JOHN, Reading, s. of Hananiah,
by w. Deliverance, had Hananiah, b. 10 Oct. 1691, d. on . serv. at
Port Royall, 1711; Andrew, 14 Feb. 1693; Josiah, 11 Apr. 1694;
Mary, 4 Dec. 1695, d. at 14 yrs; a s. whose name is not plain, 19 Aug.
1697, wh. d. at 12 yrs; and John, 8 Nov. 1703. Prob. he was freem.
1691, liv. late at Lexington, where his w. d. 10 Mar. 1718, and he d.
22 Jan. 1741. JONATHAN, Boston, s. of Ralph, had Thomas, was a
merch. mariner, and d. bef. 1706. JONATHAN, Newton, youngest s. of the
first John of the same, by w. Deliverance, had Mary, b. 25 Sept. 1701;
rem. to Needham, there had Jonathan, 21 July 1711, and perhaps others
bef. or after, and ano. w. Sarah. JOSEPH, Newbury, came in the Confidence
from Southampton 1638, aged 24, was a tanner of Newbury, Co.
Berks, had Joseph, b. 15 May 1642, rem. to Andover where he was one
of the founders of the ch. Oct. 1645, and had more ch. of wh. were Stephen,
b. 1651, and Samuel, Thomas, no compos, and ds. Sarah, Mary,
and Ruth, who all outliv. him, also John k. by the Ind. 1678; and he d.
5 Nov. 1678. All his est. in Rumsey, Co. Hants, a. 8 ms. from Southampton,
he devis. to his w. by the last will, made 4 Nov. of that yr. her
name was Mary, and a wid. of that name d. 2 Oct. 1695. JOSEPH, Chelmsford,
m. 24 June 1655, Rebecca Read, had Ann, b. 7 Feb. 1656; Mary,
28 Oct. 1657; John 31 July 1659; and John, 24 Nov. 1660; but the
rec. gives not mo. of the first two, and for the third names Mary; and
Margaret for fourth. Yet it may seem prob. that one w. either Mary or
Margaret brought all; and perhaps there were more. JOSEPH, Dunstable,
is altogether unkn. to me, unless he were of ano. town, and tho. a
propr. only a tempor. resid. he had by w. Margaret, as on the rec. of
Chelmsford is to be seen, Joseph, b. 30 Mar. 1653; Ann, 2 Feb. 1655,
bapt. 20 Apr. foll. d. young; Mary, 28 Oct. 1657; John, 4 Nov. 1660,
