w. of Nehemiah Hayden, Sarah Mansfield, Mary, w. of John Thayer, Ruth
Thayer, Deborah, Lydia, Rebecca, Rachel, Elizabeth and Joanna; but to the last
six, perhaps ch. of the surv. w. only £20 ea. are giv. The boast on his

1722. His wid. d. bef. May 1735. JOHN, Salem, freem. 18 May 1642,
but Felt does not incl. his name with ch. memb. wh. may be conjectural.
expl. by guess, that he had unit. with some other ch. bef. going thither;
yet he had bapt. there, John, 22 May 1642; John, again, 24 Mar. 1644;
Jeremiah, 18 Jan. 1646; Lydia, 7 Apr. 1650, Jonathan, 15 Aug. 1652;

again, 6 Sept. 1 657; and John, again, bapt. 24 June 1658, tho. we
may be confident that he was b. several yrs. bef. and I should prefer to
make his day of bapt. 24 Jan. 1647; beside Sarah, wh. d. 22 July 1658,
perhaps quite young; and Joseph, b. as the fam. tradit. goes, 1663, (but
by rec. 14 Mar. 1659, i. e. 1660); and d. 12 May 1672. His will of 9
days preced. anm. ch. and gr.ch. in Essex Inst. II. 72. As Mary is
among ch. memb. 1647, I presume she was his only ch. of Francis
Laurie or Lawes, and she m. next, Andrew Mansfield. Lydia m. Nov.
