Dec. foll. names w. Mary and ch. John, Samuel, and Ichabod, beside Hannah, wh.
m. Ephraim Pierce; all of wh. had ch. in abundance to be ment. in that will.
Because his s. Abiezer, wh. d. 1672, is not nam. in that instr. nor any ch.
of his, tho. his f. had admin. on his est. it is infer. that he d. unm. at
least without progeny; while very good provis. is made for Lydia, wid. of s.
Samuel, and his seven ch. A gr.d. Elizabeth w. of James Smith, also gr.d. Abigail
Porter, prob. w. of Thomas, s.-in-law, Simeon, or Simon Whitmarsh, and gr.s.

John with his w. Abigail, their s. John and six ds. and his own s. Ichabod, to
wh. the homestead at W. is giv. his w. Sarah and three ch. Now to follow this
num. brood may be diffic. and part of it eludes my long research. I presume
the w. of Whitmarsh was Sarah; of Joseph Nash, Elizabeth and of Benjamin Ludden,
Eunice; and that these three were his ds. Vinton, p. 331, says the sec. w. d.
25 June 1688, aged 64, and that he had for 3d w. wid. Mary Loring. JOHN,
Weymouth, eldest s. of the preced. by w. Abigail, d. of brave Michael Pierce,
had Thomas, b. 15 Jan. 1672; John, 19 Nov. 1686; and six ds. as in their
gr.f.'s will refer. to, and as Thomas is omit. we may presume that he d. young.
JOHN, Roxbury, came in from Dorchester, bring. s. John, had Elizabeth b. 16 Apr. 1670;
both were bapt. 30 Apr. 1671; Abigail, b. 27, bapt. 30 Aug. 1674; and Daniel,

and the four ch. JOHN, Roxbury, s. of the preced. freem. 1690, m. 24 Sept.
1684, Mary Cheeny, had John, b. in Boston, 4 Nov. 1686; but no more is kn.
PETER, Braintree, s. of Thomas the sec. by w. Alice had John, b. at Weymouth,
24 Sept. 1679; rem. to Mendon, had Peter; Joanna; Joseph; Sylvanus; Mary;
Richard; Eliphalet; William; and Samuel; as from his will of 16 Jan. 1712,

Weymouth, prob. the freem. 1681, may have been s. of Thomas the sec. by w.
Mary had Cornelius; William; Elizabeth; Mehitable; Jane; Persis, b. 11 Oct. 1675; but I
doubt no more obscure fam. report can be discern. in any part of the researches. See
Mitchell's Hist. of Bridgewater; and Morse's Geneal. Reg. SAMUEL, Weymouth, s.
of capt. John, by w. Lydia had at W. perhaps, Hannah[1]; certain. Elizabeth b. 30
Sept. 1684; Mary, 18 Nov. 1686; Samuel, 19 Feb. 1689; John, 29 Apr. 1690; and
