rec. gr. of 100 acres from the Assemb. was rep. 1671, 2, 4, and 7, d.
early in 1690, leav. large est. to wid. Elizabeth and thirteen ch. whose
names, with the inv. tak. 8 Mar. of L1,566, were, with their ages,
Judah, or Judith, 29; John, 26; Elizabeth 23; Thomas, 21; Mary, 19;
Rebecca, 18; Joseph, 16; Hannah, 14; Abigail, 10; Obadiah, 8; Ann,
6; Jonathan, 3; and David or Daniel, I. Perhaps the wid. was a sec.
w. and liv. sev. yrs. aft. his d. for distrib. of the est. was made so late as
3 Apr. 1700 to ten ch. being all the bef. ment. exc. first, third, and
tenth, wh. no doubt, had dec. It is observa. that no d. had then been m.
JOHN, Stratford, freem. 1669, s. of Thomas the first of Milford, m. 5
Nov. 1662, Sarah, prob. d. of the first Thomas Sherwood, had Sarah, b.
24 Feb. 1664; Mary, 26 Aug. 1666; Elizabeth Feb. 1669; Mary, bapt. 19
Jan. 1671; Thomas, 25 May 1673; Ruth, b. 30 June 1679; Dinah,
bapt. 1681; and John, May 1684; and he d. at Woodbury, 12 May
1704; Cothren calls his w. Ruth, and that may have been a sec. at
Woodbury, mo. of the last three ch. Four of the ch. are on rec. at S.
JOHN, New London 1667, merch. was very enterpris. in foreign trade,
by w. Elizabeth had Zaccheus, b. a. 1675; Joshua, 1680; and William,
1683; besides prob. one or more ds. and d. 16 Dec. 1691. His wid. m.
a. 1692, Richard Steere. JOHN, Concord, made freem. 21 Mar. 1690,
and ano. JOHN, of Concord, made free the next day, may have been s.
of George, or of Obadiah, or of either of the other fams. of this name
in that town, where liv. betw. 1650 and 1680, thirty distinct ones, as
Farmer quotes Shattuck to verify. JONATHAN, Newbury, s. of David
of the same, took o. of alleg. 1678, rem. to Rowley, there own. good
est. 1691. JOSEPH, Concord, freem. 13 May 1640, by w. Elizabeth had
Ephraim, b. 14 Apr. 1640, d. at 2 yrs.; Joseph, 1 Dec. 1641, d. in few
mos.; and Mary, 20 Sept. 1643; yet the rec. says her mo. was bur. two
mos. bef. and by w. Sarah he had Rebecca, 6 Sept. 1645. Farmer
thinks he may be the man wh. d. at Newbury, 13 Oct. 1659, that seems
less prob. to me than an alternat. propos. by him in MS. that he was k.
by the Ind. 22 Aug. 1675 or 6, at Lancaster. JOSEPH, Boston, a tailor,
freem. 1672, was prob. s. of Thomas of the same, and a householder
1695. JOSEPH, Newbury, s. of Roger of the same, m. 24 Sept. 1685,
Sarah, d. of John Badger of the same, had Mary, b. 22 Sept. 1686;
and perhaps more, may have rem. JOSEPH, Milford, s. of Thomas first
of the same, was there liv. 1687-1700; but of his fam. no acco. is
obtain. There was a Joseph, a physician at Salem 1704. JOSHUA,
Concord 1636, says Farmer, but I fear the date demands 20 or 30 yrs.
addit. for by w. Elizabeth it is seen that he had Joshua, b. 1663, d. at 3 yrs.;
Elizabeth and Timothy, tw. 28 Mar. 1665. JOSHUA, Concord, freem. 1690.
JOSHUA, New London, s. of John of the same, liv. to old age, and left
