from Co. Wilts, with w. and childr. of wh. John, Benjamin, and Hannah,
wh. m. the first Richard Dole, are kn. d. 1 Mar. 1643; in his will of 15

and calls Thomas Whittier, kinsman. Perhaps his wid. was
Honour, wh. d. at Charlestown, 19 Dec. 1650. JOHN, Newbury, br. of
the preced. came in the Confidence 1638, from Southampton, aged 50, in
the custom ho. call. husbandman of Melchit Park, Wilts, with w. Ann, d.
Esther, and serv. Thomas Whittier, call. Whittle in Geneal, Reg. V. 440,
and XIV. 335, was freem. 6 Sept. 1639, by our Secr. spell. Roffe, as at
the Southampton custom h. Mr. Somerby in Geneal. Reg. V. 440, assures

Samuel, 8 Mar. 1665; Sarah, 2 Dec. 1667; Joseph, 12 Mar. 1670; and
Hannah, 5 Feb. 1672; possib. may have gone back to Newbury, and been
the man wh. Coffin says d. 30 Sept. 1681. Yet of ano. JOHN of Newbury,
if he be not one of the preced. C. tells us that he had w. Dorothy,
and s. John, b. 24 Mar. 1691; and Jonathan 2 Aug. 1695. Farmer
