    PURCHAS or PURKAS, ABRAHAM, Salem, 1680, by w. Ruth, d. of John
Williams of the same, had Ruth, b. 10 June 1702; and Benjamin, 2 Mar. 1706.
JOHN, Hartford, a. 1639, d. prob. bef. mid. age, and his will of 15 Oct. 1645

Sarah, again, b. 10 Aug. 1655; John, 3 Aug. 1656; and Mary, 3 Feb.

his yr. of b. 1613, it is said, but unless the description with circumst. be
complete, it may be doubted if the true reading should not be 1618, else

of Sir Ferd. Gorges, at his planta. where is now Brunswick, of wh.
he sold to Mass. good part 22 July 1639, as by the Indenture in full is
shown in Col. Rec. I. 272. His w. Mary d. at Boston 7 Jan. 1656.
The Ind. began hostil. Sept. 1675, by plunder of his ho. and he rem. to
Lynn. When he d. a few wks. bef. 11 May 1678, with usual exagger.
he was said by his wid. Elizabeth to be 101 yrs. old. She was prob. much
younger, and m. Nov. of that yr. John Blaney of Lynn. He left s.
