1675. JAMES, New London, s. prob. eldest ch. of Richard of the same,
m. Elizabeth d. of Jonathan Rogers, had childr. of wh. descend. to this day
reside there. JEREMIAH, Eastham, m. 3 Jan. 1678, Hannah Astwood,
perhaps d. of Stephen, had Mercy, b. 17 Feb. 1679; Abigail, 1 June
1681; Jeremiah, 18 Aug. 1685; and Hannah, Sept. 1691. He d. 29
Apr. 1706, and his wid. d. 29 Mar. 1729. JOBANNA, Farmington, a
young soldier, s. of William of the same, in Capt. Newberry's comp. in
Philip's war, k. by the Ind. at Hatfield 30 May 1676. JOHN, Dorchester
1630, came in the Mary and John, a man of distinct. no doubt from
Co. Devon, brot. fam. prob. s. John, perhaps Lawrence, possib. d. Mary,
wh. m. first Nathaniel Glover, and next Gov. Thomas Hinckley, as most
of the people of D. said, tho. it is evid. eno. to me, that this high matched
Mary was d. of a later John; is com. call. the quarter-master, bec. he
had serv. in the Netherlands in that rank, was, perhaps, the freem. of 4
Mar. 1633, or of 7 Dec. 1636. Mr. Clap thinks he was past mid.
age, when he came, and my inq. are unsatisf. a. him. JOHN, Maine
1640, one of the gr. jury at the first Gen. Court of Sir Ferdinando
Gorges, in that yr. "sw. to inq. for our Sovereign Lord the K. and the
Lord of this Province." Perhaps he was of Kiltery, aft. as we kn. he
was, in 1635, of Saco. JOHN, Providence, one of the hundred first
purch. may have been of Salem 1631 or 2, one of the friends of Roger
Williams, wh. calls him a merch. perhaps, but not very likely the freem.
of 4 Mar. 1633, and banish. at the Court Sept. 1635, for "divers dangerous
opin. wh. he holdeth and hath divulg." His name is always Smyth,
and he bec. one of the heads of the Col. of R. I. aft. rem. to Warwick,
the presid. of R. I. chos. to succeed Williams in 1649. In the new chart.
of the k. July 1663, he is nam. of the counc. but d. bef. its arr. lev. wid.
Ann, wh. had been w. of .....Collins, and had s. Elizur C. b. a.
1622, and the est. of S. went to them. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. IX. 286.
But bet. other Johns of the neighb. my power of discrimin. fails. In
Providence alone were four Johns among the first hundred purch.
One JOHN, if not two, was of Newport, in 1640. JOHN, Watertown
1631, perhaps the freem. of 25 May 1636 (whose w. Isabel d. or was
bur. 12 July 1639, aged 60, as Dr. Bond says), may have been f. of
John, Thomas, and Francis, sometimes nam. of W. perhaps of others,
but all b. in Eng. and, as Bond thinks, rem. to Lancaster, and d.
there, yet I think it more prob. that it was a younger man. JOHN,
Taunton, one of the first purch. 1637. JOHN, Plymouth 1643, then call.
senr. was one of the first sett. at Eastham; but we ask in vain as to his
fam. or time of d. and are left to infer that, tho. he was sen. in the list of
those able to bear arrns, John jun. was not his s. as he did not accomp.
the sen. to Eastham, and it may equally be doubt. whether he was f. of
