ORIGIN: Cottesbach, Leicestershire.
RETURN TRIPS: To England in late 1631, visiting Essex at least, and returning to New England by 1632.
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admitted to Boston church as member #71, which would be in the winter of 1630/1 [BChR 13].
FREEMAN: Requested 19 October 1630 and admitted 18 May 1631 (both times as "Mr. John Dillingham") [MBCR 1:80, 366].
BIRTH: Baptized 13 July 1606 at Cottesbach, Leicestershire, son of Reverend Henry Dillingham [Winthrop Alexander, A Genealogy of the Dillingham Family of New England (typescript, n.d., n.p.) p. 11].
DEATH: Between December 1634 (grant of land in Ipswich) and July 1636 (will of wife Sarah).
Savage, and some others writing on John Dillingham in later years, have stated that John Dillingham had a son Edward, who had died by the time of Sarah (Caly) Dillingham's will in 1636. There is no record evidence for this, and it probably derives from a misreading of the complicated estate proceedings of John and Sarah Dillingham, which frequently mention John's elder brother Edward Dillingham.
