of Boston, now Chelsea, m. Ann, d. of a wid. Elizabeth Harris, wh. bec. the
w. of deac. William Stetson, had John, b. 13, bapt. 27 Feb. 1636; Abigail,
10, bapt. 14 Aug. 1637; Elizabeth 2 June 1639, d. young, prob.;
Sarah, 20 Feb. 1641, d. young perhaps; Elias, 17 Mar. 1644; Peter;
Mary; Ruth; Paul, 10 June 1657; and Rebecca, 1 Jan. 1660; was of
ar. co. 1654, and d. a. 1684. His will, of 19 Oct. 1681, pro. 6 Nov.
1684, provides for w. s. Elias, Peter, Paul, gr.s. Jotham, s. of s. John,
wh. therefore, I presume, was d.; James, s. of s. Peter, wh. was prob.
d.; and ds. Abigail, wh. had m. 4 June 1655, Matthew Clark; Sarah
Walton; Mary Way; Ruth Smith; and Rebecca Thomas; beside f.-inlaw
deac. Stetson, and Ruth Johnson, then liv. with testator, ch. of his
d. Elizabeth wh. m. 15 Oct. 1656, John Johnson, wh. had rem. to Haverhill;
and nam. Elias and Paul excors. ELIAS, Boston, s. of the preced. m. 8
Dec. 1669, Margaret Sherwood, wh. join. the ch. of Charlestown in
Aug. 1675, wh. may rend. it prob. that he liv. on the est. of his f. or
near it, had Elias, b. 4 Nov. 1670; Margaret, and Elizabeth bapt. 22 Aug.
1673; Abigail, 24 Sept. 1676; Samuel, 14 Aug. 1687; and was freem.
1690. JOHN, Dorchester, came in the Mary and John, 1630, from Plymouth,
with collea. Warham, desir. to be adm. freem. 19 Oct. and is
first on the list of those wh. took the o. 18 May 1631, d. 3 Feb. 1636,
while prepar. to accomp. his friends, wh. rem. to Windsor, perhaps, tho.
Blake's Ann. say he would have contin. with Mather. He was in
60th yr. and much do I regret the ill success of inq. for his place of
educ. or any acco. of his early days. All that we get from the veracious
annals of Clap, wh. was by his f. commit. to the care of M. when the
youth had leave to come to N. E. is, that he liv. 40 miles off. On what
author. he is said to have d. at Boston, I kn. not. JOHN, Boston, possib.
B. of the preced. as Farmer thot. but to me it seems very improb. by w.
Jane had John, b. 18, bapt. with his sis. Jane or his mo. 30 Apr. 1653:
and Dorothy, 23, bapt. 28 Jan. 1655. Perhaps his w. d. soon aft. as
well as s. John, and by sec. w. Rebecca he had John, again, 28 July
1662. JOHN, Boston, S. of Elias the first, m. 9 Apr. 1656, Catharine
Skipper, had Jotham, b. 30 Mar. 1660; Elizabeth 17 Oct. 1662; Sarah, 20
June 1665; Ann, 21 Sept. 1671; Skipper, 4 May 1674; and Catharine,
18 Sept. 1676. When he d. is not told; but his wid. I presume, m.
8 Sept. 1680, John Johnson. MOSES, Salem, perhaps br. of the first
Elias, freem. 3 Sept. 1634, tho. Felt ins. his name with w. in the list of
ch. memb. under 1637, and so he must believe that he had been accept.
in ano. town, had Rebecca, bapt. 7 Aug. 1639; Mary, 14 Feb. 1641, d.
at 15 yrs.; Abigail, 12 Jan. 1645; Eliz. 3 Dec. 1646, d. soon; Samuel,
19 Dec. 1647; Eliz. again, 30 Sept. 1649, wh. m. 6 Apr. 1665, Nathaniel
Grafton; Remember, 12 Sept. 1652; Mary, again, 6 Sept. 1657;
