prob. s. of Edward, had gr. of ld. 1660, at Exeter, and he may have
rem. to Middletown, where one of this name d. Dec. 1686, or Jan. 87,

Yet it may be better to inq. for ano. John, as their f. A John H. d.

hired ho. at Kittery point of Nicholas Shapleigh; and from Maine rec. I
learn, that he, with prefix of respect, was there in 1648, 9, and 50,
