ASSOCIATIONS

"In his 1665 will, John Evered alias Webb named as his residuary legatees "my cousins John Eyres, Robert Eyres, Thomas Eayres, Peter Eayres, and Katherine Eayres of Haverill, and the wife of John Aesleby of Andover, and if there be any more brothers or sisters of that family of the Eayres … not named herein, yet the same to have an equal proportion." In 1960 Rosalie Fellows Bailey argued that the mother of John Evered alias Webb was sister of John Ayers {1640, Salisbury} [Rousmaniere Anc 64-74]."^[1]

"In 1665 he lost all his positions of trust because of an attempt on the chastity of Elizabeth Frost, described as "his wife's niece." This episode took place on 8 May 1665 at John Viall's residence in Boston. Curiously, he executed a deed on that same day, and although he called himself of Chelmsford in this document, the deed must have been drawn up and signed in Boston, while he was in Boston for a sitting of the General Court. So we should be looking in Boston for Elizabeth Frost. The only apparent candidate is the wife of Jasper Frost. On 20 August 1660, Jasper Frost married at Boston "Elizabeth Wakefield, daughter of John Wakefield of Boston" [BVR 76], and this couple had several children born in Boston. If this is the Elizabeth Frost in question, then Mary (-----) (Fairweather) (Evered alias Webb) Goodhue would have been a sister of either John Wakefield or his wife, Ann, whose parentage is also not known."^[1]
