m. 11 Apr. 1687, Dorothy, d. of James Ross of S. had Sarah, b.
1688, at S. rem. soon to W. and there had James, wh. d. young
Thomas; James, again; Mary; these three bapt. 28 Jan. 1700; but
sec. James d. young; Dorothy, bapt. 16 June 1700; Eleazer, 5 Apr.
1702; Elnathan, 6 May 1705; James, again, 6 June 1708; and Jonas
perhaps older than the latter nam. but some of these dates of bapt. do
not concur with those in Bond, wh. perhaps had mark. the day of b. at
that of bapt. His w. d. 22 June 1731. His will, prob. 1735, nam. two
other s. Isaac and Timothy, as Dr. Bond many yrs. since wrote to me,
but as in his Geneal. they are omit. I fear he had early mistak. their
parentage. HENRY, Norwalk 1665, had the yr. bef. at Jamaica, L. I.
favor. the jurisdict. of Conn. propound. for freem. 1667, and is found in
the list of 1669, project. 1672 the settlem. of a new town, but made his
will the same yr. and d. the next, giv. est. to his w. and only ch. John
ISAIAH, Cambridge, s. of Thomas of Watertown, by w. Sarah, wh. may
have been d. of George Woodward, but could never have been wid. of
that John Eddy, ment. by Bond, had John, Isaiah, John again, Nathaniel,
Sarah, Elijah, and Jonas; but Barry furnish. no dates for any of
them. He d. Jan. 1712, at least, his inv. is of 10 of that mo. and his
wid. in 1715, says Bond, was of Lexington. JEREMIAH, Plymouth
1643. JOHN, Watertown, came from London 1635, aged 35, in the
Elizabeth and Ann, with w. Elinor, 30, and five s. John, 11; Richard
9; Nathaniel, 8; Thomas, 6; and Jonathan, 1; but a slight reason may
be seen for think. one of these ages too low; as in the rec. of W. the
f. is call. at his d. 1 June 1673, 84 yrs. old; and Richard was releas.
from train. in 1691, "being 70 yrs. of age," when he could only be 65,
if the custom-ho. rep. be accept. was a man of propty. and relig. charact.
adm. freem. 3 Mar. 1636, was by the Gen. Ct. made constable 1641, a
selectman sev. times betw. 1638 and 55, and in 1665 he was town clk.
had b. at W. Joshua, 5, but the Register's vol. for W. (preserv. at Boston,
giv. the name John) makes the date 15 July 1635, see Geneal.
Reg. VII. 159; Caleb, bur. 12 July 1640, prob. very young; and Benjamin,
b. 6 June 1643. His w. d. 11 May 1659, and he m. 29 Sept.
foll. Judith Clement, wh. prob. d. bef. he made his will, 3 Apr. 1673;
nam. all the s. exc. Nataniel and Caleb, and d. 1 June foll. That
Nathaniel prob. d. under 20 yrs. JOHN, Watertown, eldest s. of the
preced. brot. from Eng. by his f. m. Ruth, d. of Robert Reynolds of
Boston, had John, b. 16 Sept. 1643; Ruth, 15 Apr. 1645; Nathaniel, 1
Feb. 1647; Samuel, 28 July 1648; Mary, 29 Apr. 1650; Joseph 15
Jan. 1652; Sarah, 17 Mar. 1654; Elizabeth 9 June 1656; Hannah; and
Benjamin, 28 June, says Bond, perhaps by town rec. but the reg. of Co.
