  4. Source:Houghton, William A. History of the Town of Berlin, Worcester County, Mass, p. 418, describes John and has clearly confused him with his father, giving him widow Mary in a probate of 1755 and children Peter, William, Edmund, John and Mary. Besides missing the identification of the proper relationships that is highlight in the probate file above, he was undoubtedly confused by Phillip having two sons named John.
