in N. E. had been bapt. exc. on the Lord's day, as Sunday was call. in
law and popul. usage. JOHN, Weymouth, s. of Edward of the same, by
w. Eliz had Susanna, b. 17 Dec. 1679; and by w. Joanna had Hannah,
24 Oct. 1687; and Joanna, 21 Dec. 1688. JOHN, Beverly, a carpenter,
m. Sarah, wid. of Richard Woodbury, wh. d. 13 Nov. 1716, had Jonathan,
b. 1694; Miriam,, 1695; Robert, 1697; Ebenezer, 1699; and
Joshua, 1700; rem. to Gloucester, and had Caleb, 1701; and John,
1703. For sec. w. he had Deborah Dodge, d. prob. of Samuel, but she
d. 1 Feb. 1718; and his third w. Elizabeth Holmes, perhaps d.; of John of
Salem, d. 13 July 1720; and he took fourth w. in May 1721, Abigail
Ballard of Lynn, says Babson, and had Return in 1722; and
Abigail, 1725; and he d. 19 May 1727. * JONATHAN, Reading, s. of the
first John, had Sarah, b. 22 July 1656; Judah, a d. 1 Sept. 1658, prob.
d. young; Mary, 21 Aug. 1660, d. next yr.; Mary, again, 14 Nov. 1662;
and prob. a John; was much valu. in Philip's war, a capt. under
major Appleton at Hudley, and Presid. of the counc. of war in the winter
of 1675-6, rep. 1677, d. 24 Dec. 1678 aged 44. JOSEPH, Weymouth,
s. of Edward, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 6 Dec. 1674; Mary, 20
Jan. 1681; Benjamin, 9 Feb. 1683; Margaret, 22 Apr. 1688; and by
w. Mary had Abigail, 30 June 1690. RICHARD, New London, d. a 20
Apr. 1662, without w. or ch. gave his est. to w. and childr. of George
Tongue. SAMUEL, Boston, adm. of the ch. 19 June 1642, call. merch.
with prefix of respect, had Ann, bapt. 7 Aug. next a. 8 days old; yet I
kn. nothing more of him,unless he were that capt. wh. m. Silence, d. of
Rev. Peter Saxton of Scituate, wh. d. bef. 1 Oct. 1651; or perhaps of
Reading, where Eaton calls one early sett. by his name. SAMUEL,
Weymouth, s. prob. eldest of Edward, by w. Mercy had Mary, b. 20
Nov. 1668. * WILLIAM, Dorchester, perhaps as early as 1630, yet most
remarkable is it, that he was at Taunton sev. yrs. aft. 1637, there call.
capt. rep. 1641, being br. of the patron saint of that newer town, but in
rec.of D. describ. as town, clk. ten yrs. and oft. sch. master, while we
do not learn whether these functions were fulfil. bef. he went or aft. his
return, or partly both. My opinion is that not long aft. the d. of his sis.
from whose will we learn more than by all other means a. his fam. he
came back to D.and pass. the last 18 or 20 yrs. Certain. at D.he had
Theophilus, b. 27 May, bapt. 3 June 1660, and his may render prob.
that his elder s. and ds. John, Nathaniel, Timothy, Mary, and Bethesda,
were b. at T. He d. at D. 24 Feb. 1675, aged 81; and his wid. wh.
had been m. as early, I judge, as June 1638, perhaps Mary, d. of John
Richmond, d. near the end of 1690. Timothy was drown. at T. 15
Dec. 1667; of Nathaniel nothing is heard exc. in the will of his aunt
Elizabeth and it may be that he d. young; nor is more told of Theophilus
