was chos. min. at Stamford, whither he went on foot, had w. Rebecca, and
ch. Stephen, Joseph, Ebenezer, Benjamin, beside one, perhaps nam.
Whiting, that d. early, all ment. in his will. For sec. w. he had Joanna,
d. of Capt. Thomas Willet, wid. of Rev. Peter Prudden of Milford. His
will, made 16 Nov. 1694, pro. 12 Mar. foll. instructs us as to these ws.
and his ch. wh. were all by the first. As early as 1610 he had been
at Taunton. He preach. near 50 yrs. wrote a Latin epit. on Richard
Mather (whence a presumpt. arises, that he was from Dorchester), wh.
may be read in the Magnalia of the gr.s. cap. 20 of III. or p. 131.
But the dignity of the subject, the value of the poetry, or even his
serv. in the ch. was less operative, I suppose, in draw. this compliment
to bishop, than the pun on his name, for he is made, in that
immortal work, to sign, J. Episcopius. JOHN, Guilford 1639, had w.
Ann, s. John, and Stephen, and d. bef. 7 Jan. 1661, when his inv. was
taken. They are nam. in the will of the wid. pro. June 1676 at Hartford;
as also her s.-in-law, James Steele, wh. had m. 18 Oct. 1651, I suppose,
her d. Bethia; gr.d. Elizabeth Hubbard, perhaps d. of George. JOHN,
Guilford 1648, s. of the preced. was b. in Eng. m. 13 Dec. 1650, Susanna,
d. of Henry Goldham, had Mary, b. 28 Nov. 1652; John; Nathaniel;
Susanna; Elizabeth; Samuel, 28 Oct. 1670; Sarah, 22 Jan. 1674;
and Abigail, 25 June 1680; and he d. Oct. 1683. His wid. d. 1 Nov.
1703, and the partition of her est. Jan. 1704, gives ano. s. Daniel, and
shows how some of the ds. were m. Mary Field had bef. been w. of
John Hodgkin, and of Isaac Johnson, as is said; Susanna Blatchley was
w. of Moses; Elizabeth Scranton was perhaps wid. of the sec. John of G.
wh. had prob. m. her as wid. of Thomas Clark of the same; and the
other two ds. were unm. as presum. from no surnames being giv.
JOHN, Salem, k. by the Ind. 17 Apr. 1689. Perhaps he was s.
of the sec. Edward, or his br. JOHN, New Haven 1689, eldest
s. of the first James, m. Abigail, d. of Nathaniel Willet of Hartford,
and I hear no more, exc. as by the diligence of Mr. White taught,
that he had Nathaniel, b. 15 Mar. 1691; Abigail, 5 June 1692; John,
1 Nov. 1693; Nathaniel, again, 5 Oct. 1695; Willet, 17 Oct. 1697;
James, 17 Feb. 1700; Thomas, 10 Dec. 1701; Jeremiah, 7 Nov.
1703; Sarah, 29 Nov. 1705; Dinah, 1 Mar. 1708; and Ebenezer, 29
July 1710. In this yr. the f. d. and all the ch. exc. Nathaniel and Thomas,
surv. JOSEPH, Stamford, assum. to be one of the early sett. with
Denton; but as the name is never found, exc. once, and this is recent
date, I doubt, that the Rev. John is meant in that place. NATHANIEL,
Boston, currier, as early as 1634, own. a lot at Ipswich 1638, but
seems to have prefer. B. freem. 1645, by w. Alice, d. of James Mattocks[1],
had Sarah, b. 20 Mar. 1635; Ruth, 14 Apr. 1639; Joseph, 14 July
1642; Benjamin, 31 May, bapt. 2 June 1644; John, 29 bapt. 31 Jan.
1647; beside Samuel, whose d. by the more ancient copy of our rec. (for
we have no orig. for very many yrs.) 7 Mar. 1647, is made the day of
his b. by the absurdity of more recent copy; in his room was b. ano.
Samuel, perhaps the same yr.; Hannah, bapt. 11 Feb. 1649, at 7 days
old; and Rebecca, b. 8 Apr. 1652. When he d. is unkn. but his wid.
