Perhaps he liv. some yrs. in Boston, a. 1663; and d. there early in 1689,
and from his will of 10 Jan. in that yr. that gives to w. and to his brs.
and neph. and nieces, beside others, but no ch. may safely be infer. that
he left none. Yet he had Hannah, b. 16 Jan. 1659, wh. prob. d. young,
and the Geneal. Reg. IX. 17G, erron. makes him f. of deac. John, wh.
was his neph. JOHN, Dorchester, sec. s. of James the first, had w. Mary,
wh. may have borne to him Mary, 26 Apr. 1687; John; and Samuel, 26
Sept. 1691; but of this last nothing is heard, but that he was gr. of
Harv. 1711, and d. within four yrs. nor of John, except that he
d. 19 Apr. 1689, very young. By sec. w. Hannah he had Hannah, b.
8 Sept. 1693; Elizabeth 21 Feb. 1696; John, again, 23 Apr. 1698; and
Josiah, 11 Mar. 1700. No full report of the m. of either w. is within
reach, nor can dates of b. of all of the ch. be found. Yet he was
town clk., deac. and a. 2 Mar. 1718. JOHN, Middletown, m. 1673,
Sarah, d. of Richard Hall of the same, had Mercy, b. 16 Nov. of that yr.;
Sarah, a. 1675; Mary, 29 July 1677; Eliz. 16 Mar. 1679; Abigail, 25
Jan. 1681; John, 19 Mar. 1683; Jonathan, 27 July 1685; Stephen, 15
July 1691; and Richard, wh. d. at 11 mos. JOHN, Hampton, took o. of
alleg. 26 Apr. 1678. JOHN, Boston, joiner, had w. Sarah, and s. Richard,
as from his will, 8 Oct. 1692, is learn. I presume he had not many
yrs. liv. here, for he speaks of prop. in Eng. as well as in N. E. wh. he
gives wholly to w. and makes her extrix. so that the s. was prob. young.
JOSEPH, Dorchester, youngest s. of James the first, by w. Mehitable had
Hopestill, b. 11 Jan. 1691; Nathaniel, 6 Sept. 1692, d. in few weeks;
Elizabeth 5 Dec. 1693; Mehitable, 23 Mar. 1696; Joseph, 8 Mar. 1699;
Zipporah, 8 Jan. 1701; Ruth, 10 Dec. 1702; Ann, 3 Mar. 1705; Jeremiah,
13 Mar. 1707; Sarah, 14 July 1709, and Ebenezer, 22 Oct. 1712;
and the f. d. 1 Feb. 1739. NATHANIEL, Boston 1676. PHILIP, Boston
1676. RICHARD, Andover 1645, one of the found. of the ch. perhaps
was passeng. in the Confidence 1638, from Southampton, aged 16.
In 1644 he was at Dorchester, but this seems slight ground for the tradit.
that he was br. of William the sec. He d. 1695, therefore he was,
I think, too young to be omit. in numb. of s. of the f. tho. William had
br. Richard, b. four yrs. it is said, later than hims. We may well think
that Richard d. young. WILLIAM, Dorchester, wh. came 1630, in the
Mary and John, was eldest s. of Giles of Little Baddow, Co. Essex, had
brot. with him William, b. 1620; James, 1623; John; and Edward, bef.
ment. and perhaps Ann, wh. m. Jacob Legare; in 1636 went to Springfield
with Pynchon, yet contin. hardly more than a yr. He was a very
useful citizen,freem. 14 Mar. 1639, ar. co. 1646, selectman, town clk. etc.
and d. 25 Oct. 1663, aged 69. His wid. Agnes, prob. mo. of all his ch.
d. 22 July 1678. To her his will, made 3 Sept. 1661, pro. 28 Jan.
1664, refers, and to five ch. of wh. four were s. but none are nam.
