1689. His w. d. 11 Aug. 1697. JOHN, Boston, mariner, m. Elizabeth eldest
d. of deac. William Paddy, had Richard, b. 18 Apr 1664; Elizabeth 14 Mar.
1666; and Mercy, 14 Feb. 1668; beside Sarah, 11 Aug. 1673, wh. m.
11 July 1700, Isaac, s. of the sec. Gov. Winslow. This union is worthy
of note, because in our rec. the two fam. names Winslow and Wensley,
interchangeab. may be seen confus. a thousand times, the same individ.
in one line call. different from ano. line on same page. Ano. ch. was
John, b. 8 Feb. 1675. From his will, 9 Dec. 1672, we find he was
bound on a voyage, divides est. into eight equal parts, of wh. two to his
w. two to s. Richard, left one ea. to the ds. of wh. the youngest was then
unb. but by codic. in our Vol. VI. made 26 Dec. 1675, is told that "God
hath giv. me two ch. more since the above." Very curious is it, that the
will of his Wensley, in the rec. immediately follows that of Samuel Winslow,
also of Boston, mariner. His d. Mercy m. Joseph Bridgham, Esq.
and next, 8 Dec. 1712, Hon. Thomas Cushing. NATHANIEL, Salisbury,
s. of the first Samuel, b. prob. in Eng. old eno. to be tax. 1650, m. 14 Oct.
1661, Mary Jones, in the will of her f. Thomas, call. Winslow, as memb.
of the milit. force, took o. of alleg. 13 Dec. 1677, bot. of John Alcock,
in 1661 part 1-32 of Block Island. It had been sold to A. by John
Endicott, Daniel Dennison, and William Hathorne, to wh. it was giv. by
Mass. governm. for their serv. in the Pequot war, when the conquest
was made; and he seems to have been at Block Island 1685. * SAMUEL,
an early grantee, with Bradstreet, Dudley, and others, of Colchester
1638, but not orig. sett. of Salisbury, dignif. with prefix of respect in
1650, when he and s. Nathaniel and Samuel, were tax. The s. I suppose,
as well as d. Deborah, with w. Elizabeth he brot. from Eng. but other
ch. b. here, were Ephraim, 15 Apr. 1641; Elisha, 30 May 1646; and
the w. d. 2 June 1649. He was freem. 22 May 1639, and invent. mode
of mak. salt, to wh. our Gen. Ct. gave encouragem. as in Rec. I. 331
and II. 5, or Felt II. 176. He was rep. 1642, 5, and 53; d. 2 June
1663; and his wid. Ann, a sec. w. m. 1657, wid. of Henry Boade of
Wells, d. 21 Mar. 1677. SAMUEL, Salisbury, s. of the preced. perhaps
eldest, b. prob. in Eng. made his will 1665, but whether he had w. or
ch. is not kn. to me. What wid. W. Sewall refers to, in his diary, sub.
Dec. 1686, Geneal. Reg. VI. 73, when he ment. d. of her s. Jenner in
Eng. is beyond my conject. but it may not prob. be Ann, the wid. of
Henry Boarde of Wells or Saco, wh. in 1657 agreed to m. this Samuel;
nor should I refer to so unimport. a fact, were it not to save trouble to
some hunter of the Indexes of Geneal. Reg. that Wersley VI. 243,
means the same man. Sometimes this name is confound. with Winslow;
and almost as oft. the name in Col. Rec. is Winslow, as otherwise.
