Groton side of the riv. and she adds that he d. 1704, leav. s. Richard,
William, Henry, and Stephen, beside d. Mary, w. of Samuel Packer.
WILLIAM, Boston, m. 19 July 1660, Joanna Lynn, had Sarah, b. 20
Apr. 1662; Mary, 15 Jan. 1664; John, as I judge, 20 Dec. 1666 (tho.
the name of mo. is then call. Hannah); Elizabeth 4 Jan. 1669; James, 18
Sept. 1670; Joanna, 18 Apr. 1673; William, 25 Jan. 1675; and was
press. into serv. in Philip's war, as is told in Geneal. Reg. I. 139, and

Miller of the same, had Mary, b. 24 Dec. 1673; and Zebediah, 1675,
but bef. this last, had rem. to Deerfield, there was k. with capt. Lothrop,
at Bloody Brook, 18 Sept. of that yr. His wid. m. 28 Nov. 1677,
Godfrey Nims. His s. d. a capt. in Canada, 1706, but he left poster.
of wh. in our age, are inhab. of Amherst. The grad. of this name at
N. E. coll. had been in 1834, as Farmer reckon. them, 137, of wh. 50

Mercy; all bapt. 13 Aug. 1699; and Martha, 13 Feb. bapt. 14 Apr.
1700. He was capt. of a comp. under col. Church in the E. expedit.
1704; as Hutchinson has compil. from Nile's Hist. of the Ind. and
French wars. He was, perhaps, s. of Timothy, but no earlier deriv.
