  5. ↑ Perley identifies the mother of Capt. John as Mary Foster (his father's 2nd wife). Anderson dates Francis' marriage to Mary Foster about 1650. John being the eldest son would be of Lydia. Birthplace is postulated to be Hampton, as the first place Francis (his father) settled and he (Francis) is thought to have moved to "Rowley Village," now Boxford, about the time of his marriage to Mary Foster.
