Thomas, and his s. Thomas, aged 11 yrs. Both these s. as well as
Daniel and Nathaniel, and d. Priscilla are nam. in his will, made three
days aft. that date, of wh. T. and N. were excors. From this we learn
also that he had sec. w. for he gives to his w.'s s. George Brown, and
her d. Mary B. and he d. 25 Jan 1686. But ano. JOHN, prob. older,
was of Watertown as early perhaps as the preced. and may have
been of Dedham 1636, m. so late as Nov. 1653 (but it may have not
been first w.), Abigail Martin, had Abigail, b. 21 Jan. 1657; and he d.

JOHN, Scituate, s. of John of the same, prob. b. in Eng. m. at Boston, 8
Oct. 1656, Rhoda, d. of Elder Thomas King of S. had John, and perhaps
Abigail, or others, but not, I think, the Mary, or Elizabeth or Hannah ascrib.
to him by Deane, as they were ds. of the Weymouth deac.; Mary was
sis. of her wh. m. Joseph White of S. and of the other two, prob. unless
the dates for m. of the three several. were by him intend. to mean dates of

uncert. Abigail m. 1678, Timothy White of S. JOHN, Milford 1646,
d. 1684. His will of 1 Dec. 1683, names ch. Eliezer, Jabez, Abigail, wh.
was w. of Ephraim Stiles, John, and gr.ch. Ruth Beardsley. JOHN,
Huntington, L. I. adm. 1664, freem. of Conn. and in 1669, had been
two yrs. perhaps of Branford, d. bef. 1676, prob. without being m.
or at least without ch. for his br. Noah inherit, his est. JOHN, Ipswich,
eldest s. of Rev. Nathaniel, b. in Eng. early in 1631 (not 1620, as
Geneal. Reg. X. 148), prob. at Coggeshall in Essex, where liv. the f.
of his mo. but Farmer says at Assington in Suff. was both physician and
preacher after leav. Coll. 1649, and some yrs. I believe, was of Boston,

John Leverett, and d. 7 June 1720; and Patience, m. 15 Apr. 1696,
Benjamin Marston of Salem, and d. 22 May 1731. Never, I think, is
heard any suggest. that he was of the stock of the martyr of Smithfield,
when it might have been difficult to avoid that topic of congratula. had
