ch. for wh. the will gives us some light, slightly confus. by the artic. in
Geneal. Reg. V. 46a, mak. the d. some mos. earlier than the will, and
one ch. b. less than 3 mos. after a former. The heroine of the pannier
m. Nathaniel Glover, and next, Gov. Hinckley, and d. 29 July 1703, in
her 73d yr. Her f.'s will made 28 Dec. 1676, some mos. aft. the date
ment. in Geneal. Reg. for his d. with a codic. was pro. 25 July 1678.
JOHN, Watertown 1640, s. of Adrean. the w. of Jeremiah Norcross, had w.
Mary. JOHN, Rowley, s. perhaps, of Hugh, m. Faith, d. prob. of Francis
Parrott, had, says Gage, John, and Jonathan, tw. b. 1659. Perhaps both
d. and he d. 1661, leav. d. Sarah. His wid. I think, m. Ezekiel Jewett.
JOHN, Saco, freem. 1653, had been there from 1636, and we would
gladly learn more of him. JOHN, Plymouth, usually call. jr. able to bear
arms 1643, was not, perhaps, s. of the first John of the same, m. 4 Jan.
1649, Deborah, d. of Arthur Howland of Marshfield, had Hasadiah, b.
11 Jan. 165O; John, 1 Oct. 1651; Josiah, 16 Apr. 1652; Eleazer, 20
Apr. 1654; and Hezekiah, 8 Feb. 1656. JOHN, Eastham, call. sen. had
w. Lydia, wh. d. 21 July 1672, and he m. 15 Nov. foll. Jael Packer, or
Packard, d. of Samuel the first, of Bridgewater. JOHN, Hingham, freem.
1647, as to me seems more prob. tho. Farmer decid. for 1654, m. May 1645,
Sarah, d. of Ralph Woodward of the same, had, perhaps, sev. ch. besides
John, b. 19 Sept. 1653, was lieut. 1661, rep. 1683 and aft. till chos. Assist.
1686, in wh. he contin. to serve until the new Chart. and d. May 1695.
JOHN, Providence, call. for distinct. Jamaica John, perhaps bec. he came
from there, was d. bef. 20 May 1685, when his s. John executes a
deed, in wh. he styles hims. s. and heir. JOHN, Taunton, had Elizabeth b.
7 Sept. 1663; Henry, 27 May 1666; perhaps others. JOHN, Salem
1609, was a tailor; and Felt names ano. John, Salem 1660, a malster,
who had w. Ann. Ano. JOHN, of Salem, was a mason in 1671. One of
these Salem Johns, at the ord. of Rev. John Higginson, in 1660, rais. a
disturb. Perhaps his w. Margaret and her ch. were then in prison at
Boston, as quakers. See Hutch. I. 203. In his will of 20 Jan. 1679, it
is seen, that he had two s. viz. George and Exercise, ds. Tamosin and
Margaret, that his w. was sis. of Joshua Buffum, to wh. was giv. the s.
Exercise, as was George to ano. of that peacef. sect. JOHN, Dorchester, had
James, and Mary, wh. were adult when they were bapt. in right of their mo.
10 June 1683, she then being w. of Ellis Wood as the ch. rec. tells. But
very curious rec. of bapt. is found few mos. preced. as follows: "The

Ann, Miriam, Sarah, and David." Who was f. of these ch. is on the face

easy eno. might the scribe mistake this name tor Wood, if we may assume
that the w. of Wood was bring. up to the font offspring of her
former h. John Smith, wh. d. 1682. JOHN, New London 1658, call.
"nailor Smith" had come from Boston (where he liv. in 1653), with w.
