Vineyard, Mr. Otis says. Prince is very careful (p. 238 of Hale's ed.
of the Annals, Boston 1826), after saying that he "liv. to above 90 yrs.
of age," to add that he had often seen him, and that he "left male posterity."
He greater reverence for the Leyden paster convinces me.
that he would equally have ment. were such the opinion as to Abraham;
yet the fact that nothing is ever seen of the wid. mo. in any earlier
writer, militates somewhat with my opinion. Still no reason thence can
be deduced in favor of Abraham being s. of the glorious John, and the
opinion or suggestion of Mr. Babson in the note of careful Mr. Deane,
Bradford, 247, as to the obsecurity of Mrs. Robinson on our side of the
water, is not to be explain, by her suppos. residence at Salem, where,
in Felt's list of mem. of the ch. is a wid. Ann R. join. in 1637. The
greater probability appears to me, that she d. very soon after reach.
our shores; yet she must be inquired for, not at Cape Ann, but on the
other side of the Bay of Mass. unless some appearance of tradit. in favor
of Abraham be found, as it has not been, in the first, sec. third, or fourth
generat. of her descent. ISAAC. Lynn 1637, came in the Hopewell,
Babb, master, late in 1635, aged 15, was perhaps early d. at least Lewis
gives nothing of him. ISAAC, Tisbury, s. of the first Isaac, was bapt.
Israel, as Mr. Otis, with much sagacity argues, and that after the drown.

1654, Martha Buck, had Sarah, b. 24 Mar. 1660; John, 17 Sept. 1662;
James, 21 July 1667; and Elizabeth; was a mariner. I suppose both s. d.
young, for he gave his est. in 1673 to John Hull and Thomas Brattle in
tr. for hims. for life, next for w. Martha for life, and then to use of his
ds. Elizabeth and Sarah. JAMES, Dorchester, m. 27 Sept. 1664, Mary, d. of
Thomas Alcock, had James, b. 8 Nov. 1665; Thomas, 15 Apr. 1668;
Samuel, 4 Sept. 1670; Mary, 17 Mar. 1673, d. young; John, 17 Apr.
1675, H. C. 1695, min. of Duxbury; Henry, 21 June 1678, d. very
soon; and Ebenezer, 5 Jan. 1682, wh. was k. 27 May 1707, at Port
Royal, in the abortive siege; was freem. 1690, and d. 18 Apr. 1694.
His wid. d. 13 Mar. 1718, aged 73. JAMES, Boston, by his will, 3 Sept.
1676, pro. 3 days aft. names no w. nor ch. but gives est. to brs. Thomas,
Joseph, and sis. Mary, one half, and other half to aunt Eliz, w. of Joseph
Rock, and cousin Hannah, w. of James Brading. This proves, that he
was s. of deac. Thomas of Scituate. JAMES, Newcastle 1683, then of the
