Jeremy the first, was one of the comp. of Capt. Moseley in Philp's war,
a householder in 1678, m. 21 Aug. 1679, Hannah, d. of Benjamin Lothrop
of the same. Frothingham, 88, counts Henry an inhab. of 1638;
but that seems, as he was not in 1658, prob. a mist. for Jeremy. JEREMY,
Charlestown 1638, by w. Mary, or Mercy, had Jeremy, b. 1 Mar.
1643; John, 30 Jan. 1645; and perhaps others, certain. at Reading, Sarah,

Benjamin, 5 July 1679; and Hannah; Patience; and Mary; without dates,
but the last nam. is thot. to be the eldest of all; all perhaps by Mary, d.
of Nathaniel Wyer, but we are not sure of more than that he d. 1717;
and is said to have been b. 1633, but I doubt the report. JOHN, Branford,
s. of Daniel of the same, and only one, wh. had ch. yet d. 1694,
bef. mid. age, leav. Eunice, and John. NICHOLAS, Hampton 1643.

as friend of Rev. Mr. Pierson, went with first sett. to Newark, N. J. and
was rep. in the first assemb. of that province, but Whitehead, in "E Jersey
under the Proprs." 52, calls him Swarne. Who his w. was, is not
kn. but he had some ch. as Elizabeth wh. m. Josiah Ward, and next David
