Family:John Sawtell and Elizabeth Post (1)

From NEHGS Register, Volume 126, January 1972, p. 5: "John, named in his father's will; mar. Elizabeth Post. SHe was the daughter of Thomas Post of Cambridge who, in his 1691 will, bequeated books to his grandson John Satell, together with the resideue of his esttate, john's father to give security thtat he get it when he came of age (Middlesex County Probate, No. 17802). Elizabeth Satle of Cambridge made her will 3 Oct. 1700 and bequeathed all to her sister-in-law Anna Satle. The will was provded four days later (ibid, No. 19951). On 21 Oct 1700, Bethia, Obadiah and ENoch Sawtell and Ruth Hewes, as heirs, quitclaimed their interest in John's realty, calling him "late of Cambridge, deceased" (Middlesex County Deeds, 15:575-6). Thus it appears that this line had died out by October of 1700."
