s. of William, b. in Eng. by w. Hannah, d. of John Cross, had only ch. and he
posthum. Thomas, b. 11 July 1656; d. 10 Dec. 1655. His will of 21 Nov.
preced. speaks of his est. in Lavenham, Suff'k. The wid. d. 24 Mar. 1657, and
he will was pro. 8 Apr. next. THOMAS, Newton, s. of the first Thomas, m. 17
Dec. 1662, Elizabeth d. of Isaac Stedman, had Elizabeth b. 3 Nov. 1664; Thomas, 16
Dec. 1666; Isaac, 20 Dec. 1668; Nathaniel, 3 Feb. 1671; John, 30 Apr. 1674;
and Eleazur, 13 Nov. 1677; and d. of smallpox, 20 Oct. foll. His wid. d.
1715. THOMAS, Watertown, posthum. s. of Thomas the s. of William, had, I
think, been impress. for serv. in the war of 1676, on an expedit. and fined
�4. for not going, as appears in his petitn. in wh. he declares, he had done
much, m. 21 Aug. 1678, Elizabeth Noyes, who d. 4 Apr. 1679; and he m. 6 Dec. 1679,
Sarah Pickard, had Hannah, b. 15 Nov. 1680, who d. at 11 yrs.; Sarah, 20 Jan.
1683; Thomas, 17 Nov. 1685; Elizabeth 12 May 1688; David, bapt. 23 Nov. 1690;
Nathaniel, 25 July 1697; and Jonathan, bapt. on same day; was freem. 1690, and
progenit. of all the Hammonds of Watertown and Waltham, it is said. WILLIAM,
of Mass. was k. by the Ind. in Pequot war. 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. III. 130, 157.
Scrupulous inquiry will, prob. lead to belief, that an error of near. 40 yrs.
is here seen, and that the suffer. was one of the very first victims of
Philip's war. WILLIAM, Watertown, perhaps as early as 1632, freem. 25 May
1636, had good est. d. 8 Oct. 1662, aged, says the rec. a. 94. But the Reg.
in Eng. of his bapt. 30 Oct. 1575, when he could be very few days old, for his
f. Thomas m. Rose Trippe on 14 May 1573, and the first ch. Elizabeth was bapt. 1
Apr. 1574, proves that he was a. 87. He m. 9 June 1605, Elizabeth Payne, sis. of
William, had William, bapt. 20 Sept. 1607; Ann, 19 Nov. 1609, d. soon; John, 5
Dec. 1611; Ann, again, 14 July 1616; and Thomas, 17 Sept. 1618. His will of 1
July 1662, names w. Elizabeth s. John, gr.s. Thomas, s. of dec. Thomas, d. Elizabeth
w. of Samuel House of Cambridge, and her four ch. d. Barnes, and d. Sarah
Smith with her s. Adam. The w. had come had in the Francis from Ipswich,
1634, aged 47, with ch. Elizabeth 15; Sarah, 10; and John, 7; and she d. 1669, or
one acco. has it, 14 Sept. 1670, in 90th yr. Six or seven yrs. of exagger.
may here be allowed for, knowing that the age of her h. was equally extend.
beyond the truth. WILLIAM, Lynn, is by Lewis named of 1636, and d. next yr.
WILLIAM, Wells 1656, or earlier, a man of conseq. gr. juror, next yr. clk. of
the writs, and commissr. for small causes until 1679; had Jonathan, and
Joseph, perhaps other ch. but those outliv. him. He d. 1702, as his gr.s.
Joseph wrote, in a letter of 24 Mar. 1733, says, also, that he told him he was
b. 1597. See Geneal. reg. IX. 312. The writer's f. Joseph, was b. 1647, being
the younger, and hims. was b. 1677, so that he could hardly mistake the yr.
