"11 John3[2] (Bartholomew) (William,2[1] William,1 William), born probably in Branford in 1679; married, first, in Woodstock, 28 Jan., 1702-3, Elizabeth, daughter of Deacon Edward2 Morris (Edward1) and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Bowen (by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Isaac Johnson of Roxbury). She died 12 Mar., 1703-4. He married, second, in Branford, Mary '(Mercy)' widow of Ebenezer Frisbie of Branford. She dying in B. 11 Dec, 1732, he married, third, in Woodstock, 2 Jan., 1738-9, Hannah, daughter of John Abbott and widow of Daniel Abbott; and died between the 16 Apr., and 2 July, 1753, æt. 74. John Bartholomew remained in Woodstock until after his first wife's death, where the land records frequently mention him. In 1715 he was made a freeman in Branford where he had previously married his second wife. After her death he returned to Woodstock, taking letter from the Branford church by which he was admitted to the church in W. 6 Nov., 1738. He was a farmer and late in life a weaver. In Mar., 1745, he was made tithing man. Shortly before his death he made a division of his property by a deed dated, 16 Apr., 1753, endorsements on which, made 2 July following, mention his being deceased. It mentions wife Hannah '(for her Care and Trouble for looking after me)' son Enos, Enos' son John and daughter Mary, his daughters Elizabeth (wife of Joseph Darin) and Sarah wife of Nathanl Marimon; and to his wife's daughter Sarah Abbott, 'whatever I have belonging to the weaving trade.' It is possible that he had obtained the same through his marriage with her mother."
