Hannah, 27 Feb. 1699; and Temperance, 15 Feb. 1701, d. soon.
JOSHUA, Plymouth came in the Ann 1623, prob. a youth, of wh. all
that is kn. seems to be, that in 1652 he was one of the purch. of Dartmouth,
and d. soon aft. for inv. of his prop. present. by Bathsheba,
prob. his wid. 6 Oct. 1656, was only of the amo. £18 11s. 3d. Perhaps
he had ch. but the gr.s. Ephraim, by Farmer believ. to be b. Nov. 1687,
and his s. Michael, wonders of old age in 1804 and 1826, are by Barry

Magnalia 12 of cap. 26 of book III. is agreeably told (extract. from
Remarkab. Providence of Increase Mather, the more judicious. f. of
the author), with less admixt. of nonsense than is commonly seen in that
work. MICAH, Weymouth, had John, b. 4 Oct. 1691. NATHANIEL,
