    WATHEN or WATHIN, EZEKIEL, Amesbury, sw. alleg. Dec. 1677. It
may be that he was s. of that John Watten, dec. on whose est. at the
Gen. Ct. Oct. 1654, admin. was giv. to capt. Brian Pendleton, "that
some course may be taken for relief of his wid." See Col. Rec. III.

1644.

    WATKINS, DAVID, Stratford, with prefix of resp. upon his inv. 20
July 1688, tho. of no more than L50. left wid. Sarah and one d. only to
partake. JOHN, Salem, came a. 1641, and d. in few wks. as Mr. Felt

Breck of Dorchester; by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 27 Nov. 1652; John, 21

1659; Sarah, again, 7 Nov. 1661; Rowland, 5 Dec. 1663; Hannah, 9
Apr. 1665, d. soon; Hannah, again, 28 Oct. 1666; Mehitable, 14 Feb.
1668; and Joseph, 15 Jan. 1670. He was freem. 1660, of ar. co. 1666,

    WATSON, ABRAHAM, Cambridge, s. of John of the same, by w. Mary
Butterfield, had Isaac, b. 3 Mar. 1690; John; Abraham; both bapt. 21

but soon rem. to Hartford, for many yrs. taught there, and d. says the
Coll. Catal. 1725, rather aged. His case affords a perfect example of
fondness for exaggera. Hinman, 246 of Ed. I. tells that "he is suppos.
to have d. over one hundred yrs. of age," when we find fairly 84 only
betw. b. and d. No ch. was liv. perhaps none ever b. to him, so that he
gave est. to sis. Dorcas Adams of Ipswich, wh. was older than hims. but
w. Mary was made excor. of his will. EDWARD, New Haven, m. 1
