Dorchester), had Mary, bapt. July 1639. wh. m. 16 Dec. 1657, John Loring,
perhaps his only ch. and d. 3 June 1682. In his will of 11 May preced. after
provis. for his wid. and two Ind. slaves, he gave most of his prop. to gr.childr.
yet with 3 reasona. mem. to six ch. of his late br. Nicholas, of
Scituate. See Lincoln, Cent. Addr. 39. Farmer mistook him for s. of
Nicholas. NATHANIEL, Yarmouth, eldest s. of Francis, had three s.

his ch. d. 4 Apr. 1661, and he next yr. took ano. of wh. the bapt. name Grace

Feb. 1662, to Stephen Vinal; Elizabeth m. 1664 to John Vinal; Sarah m. 1671,
Josiah Litchfield; and Deborah m. 1678, Israel Chittenden. Deane, 181-3.
NICHOLAS, Marblehead, wh. Willis, I. 135, says m. Elizabeth d. of George
Bartlett of Scarborough, may have been s. of the preced. but we want the

been a gr.s. of Rev. Nicholas, admin. was gr. 8 Oct. 1695, to his mo. in law,
