here, to me it seems equal. prob. that he was engag. in business of too
much import. at London to come over, and intend. to carry forwards the
mill business by a serv. or factor. GEORGE, Dover 1642, tax. 1648, d.
1650. HENRY, Boston, merch. came from Salisbury, Co. Wilts, with w.
Dosabell, perhaps in 1637, when Felt marks a gr. of ld. to him, but
more prob. in 1638, adm. of our ch. 6 Feb. 1639, as was she on Sunday
foll. made freem. 13 Mar. next, constable 1641, brot. only ch. Margaret,
wh. had been bapt. at S. 25 Sept. 1625. Prob. she was b. by a first w.
for in the parish rec. of St. Edmunds at S. may be seen, that Henry W.
m. 23 Apr. 1627, Jane Woolford, and so we may assume that Dosabell
was third w. This w. d. 28 Feb. 1660, and he d. 7 Sept. foll. and prob.
his d. was sudden, as Elizabeth the d. of his only ch. was m. on the same
day to Robert Gibbs. Margaret had by spec. license of the Gen. Ct.
permiss. Sept. 1642, to m. first Jacob Sheaffe, and sev. yrs. aft. his d.
she m. Rev. Thomas Thacher. His will of 5 Apr. 1660 is very full,
and may be read in Geneal. Reg. X. 177-80. It was pro. 13 Sept. foll.
and perhaps his est. was the largest that had so early come into Ct. Inv.
was £7,819. 5s. 2d. Six clerg. were favor. with small lagacies, and
John and Samuel Sanford, s. of his sis. Elizabeth had £80. ea. but perhaps
they were in Eng. as was a sis. of his w. also a legatee. Webb was
largely engag. in the Lynn iron works and a great benefactor to
Harv. Coll. beside legacy of £50. gave that fine prop. betw. Washington
and Devonshire streets in B. where the great publishers, Little
Brown & Co. have long exhibit. their treasures. JEREMIAH, Northampton,
s. of the first John of the same, m. a. 1693, Priscilla McLathlin,
had Joanna, b. 16 Mar. 1694, d. in two wks. and in Geneal. Reg. III.
400, her name was mistaken for Jonathan; Priscilla, Aug. 1695;
Esther, 23 Dec. 1697; Josiah, 28 Mar. 1700, d. at 23 yrs.; Daniel,
1702; Sarah, Apr. 1704; Joseph, Mar. 1707, d. at 2 mos.; Elizabeth 6
May 1708; Experience, 12 Nov. 1710; and Moses, 20 Mar. 1713;
had sec. w. Sarah, but no ch. by her is kn. and he d. 5 Mar. 1734.
JOHN, Boston, adm. of the ch. 9 Feb. 1634, then call. single man, and
of wh. I hear no more, unless he went home that yr. and came again
with Stephen in the James from Southampton, emb. in Apr. 1635, and
arr. 3 June. Both are call. laborers or husbandmen, said to be of Marlborough
in Wilts, but favored also with an alias Evereed, and it may be
that both points of the description were to delude the tyrannic. formality.
He was adm. freem. 7 Dec. 1636, sr. co. 1643, one of the early sett. of
Chelmsford, there was ens. and rep. 1663, 4,5, but in the last yr.
was expelled. fin. and for a season disfranch. but soon restor. had gr. of ld.
at Dracut 1667, d. 16 Oct. 1668, by the strange occur. of being drown.
