Person:John Small (32)

Records of John Small, Jr.?

• John Small, owned lot number 83 of the North Field in Salem in 1700. [Source: "The History of Salem Massachusetts", by Sidney Perley, p. 316]. In an article "Northfields, Salem, in 1700. No. 3", Essex Institute Historical Collections, Vol. 49, p. 189-90, it was bought in 1671 by John Small of Salem, planter [Essex Deeds, 5:99], with no subsequent changes recorded. This is the same description used by the father in other transactions which can clearly be identified as the father.

• John Small of Braintree was given an allotment of land in Mendon in 1662 to be settled there before the end of "7 mo. 1663" [Sept. 1663] per NEHGR, p. 9:51. It is far from clear who this is. There do not seem to be any records in Braintree or Mendon for John Small.
