John (Thomas 1), born March 12, 1659, in Weymouth; died October 10, 1717, in Easton. John taxed in Boston 1681, also 1686. He married, first, Rachel_____. He married second, December 12, 1687, at Milton, by Rev. Peter Thacher, Sarah King, probably born January 31, 1666; died September 4, 1727; daughter of Samuel and Experience (Phillips) King of Weymouth. John bought a share of land of Ephraim Hewit of Easton in April, 1702, and settled on it in 1703. It joined the Bridgewater line north of Stone House Hill and probably included what was known a century later as North Daily Place. The remains of the cellar may still be seen; the massive door-step, a good bulkhead way and other signs are indications of a well appointed house.
