bapt. or d. begin. in Dec. 1641, more than nine yrs. aft. its orig. He
serv. 28 Sept. 1630 on the first inq. held by coroner, and by their find.
Walter Palmer was chged. with manslaughter, for death of Austen
Bratcher, of wh. he was acq. He liv. most of his days in Boston, prob.
to practise better his trade of cardmaker, and by twelve sev. deeds to or
from him of ld. in B. I have tracked him down to Jan. 1667. It may
be very difficult to determine, whether F. the glazier, had any ch. or
how old he was, when he d. but his br. Joseph, the saddler, had admin.
of his est. 12 Aug. 1690. His w. Elizabeth (by wh. in B. he had John, b. 30
Aug. 1644; Joseph, 24 Aug. 1646; Mercy, wh. d. 4 Sept. 1652; Sarah,
b. 6 May 1655; Benjamin 10 Apr. 16O8; and Mary, 18 July
1663); join. Boston ch. 31 May 1646, and his d. Elizabeth m. 1656, James
Sanford. But ano. FRANCIS, prob. s. of this Roxbury man, may have
been f. of the two 1ast ment. ch. as I presume; and had earlier, in R.
Sarah, b. 6 May 165a; tho. it is not impossib. that one was f. of all.
FRANCIS, Hingham, drew his house lot, 18 Sept. 1635, freem. 13 May
1640, rem. says Lincoln, to Taunton, where his w. d. 6 Jan. 1666.
There he, or one of this name was liv. 1679. Inscript. at T. on
gr. st. are seen of Elizabeth "aged 40, d. 31 Jan. 1687;" and of Damaris
"aged 21, d. 29 Oct. 1689." FRANCIS, Reading, perhaps s.
of the first Francis of the same, freem. 1691, and not prob. that deac.
wh. d. says Eaton, 1744. GEORGE, Salem 1635, had then gr. of
ld. of wh. or other he contin. propr. perhaps was of Ipswich 1648, and
soon back to S. bef. 1663. GEORGE, New Haven 1639-47, was not on
the list of freem. there 22 yrs. aft. At N. H. by w. Sarah he had Sarah,
and Martha, perhaps tw. b. 1642; Hannah, 1644; but all three, in
the right of their mo. bapt. 14 Dec. 1645; Mercy, 22 Feb. 1646; John,
18 Apr. 1647; Elizabeth 16 Sept. 1649; Samuel, b. 4 Dec. 1651; Ebenezer,
15 Nov. 1653; Joseph, 14 Aug. 1655; and Nathan, 27 Dec. 1656.
He d. 17 May 1662, and descend. have been num. and hon. Sarah m.
1661, John Clark; Hannah m. 1663, Stephen Bradley of Guilford;
Mercy m. 1669, John Benham; and Elizabeth m. 13 Nov. 1669, John Hall
of Guilford. Yet some uncert. attends the filiation of sev. of these ch.
bec. ano. Sarah, w. of Nehemiah, was engag. in the same pious work of
bring. ch. to bapt. in the same yr. nearly. GEORGE, Dover 1645, came,
perhaps, from the city of Salisbury, a tailor, in the James, from Southampton,
Apr. arr. June 1635, unless this array of circumstance pertain
rather to the Salem man, for a fam. tradit. says, this man came from
Plymouth, in Devon of Boston, when there were only a few huts, and
not one cellar dug;" was town clk. in 1646 had commiss. from Mass.
and at the head of the tax list 1648; had Joseph, b. 1640; and, as Mr.
