acquaint. with the early inhab. of both those towns, he can discov. no f.
for. this w. of Symonds. By her he had, at G. Sarah, b. 2 July 1668, wh.
by the will of her gr. gr. mo. Mather, had gift of one of her cows. But I
kn. no more of him exc. that he went home and liv. at Wethersfield
in Eng. 1672; nor is it kn. that he ever came back. Mr. Babson informs
us, that the wid. ret. to G. where the d. m. a. 1692 Thomas Low;
and her mo. d. 31 Jan. 1728, aged 90. HENRY, Boston 1643, perhaps
the freem. of 10 May, a man of enterprise, undertook the work of mak.
the mill creek for a mill power, under a vote of July, with George Burden,
John Button, John Hill and assoc. as is fully stat. in Snow's Hist. of
Boston, 124, 5. But he d. in Sept. foll. and was bur. 14th. He had been
recommend. by pastor of a ch. at Southampton, and in that right his
posthum. ch. was bapt. here 21 Apr. 1644, a. 3 days old by the name,
Richgrace, giv. by the wid. mo. no doubt. So it might be infer. that he
had gone from Lynn with Rev. Abraham Pierson; and Lechford's Plain
Dealing, 43, makes it certain, that he was one of the found. of Pierson's
ch. gather. at Lynn, 1641, as Winthrop tells, II. 6, for the object of going to
the E. end of Long Island, tho. it is implied from Lechford's language,
that he never went. His wid. m. Isaac Walker, and her name was Susan,
as appears in act of our Gen. Ct. Rec. II. 104, confirm. to Christopher
Lawson est. in Boston that S. had engag. to sell him. JAMES,
Salem, s. of John of the same, suppos. to be b. in 1633, perhaps in Eng.
m. 20 Nov. 1661, Elizabeth Browning, perhaps d. of Thomas, had Mary, b.
1 Nov. 1662; Ruth, 19 Feb. 1664; John, 8 July 1666; James, 14 Feb.
1671, d. young; Elizabeth 6 Mar. 1673, d. soon; James, again, 1 Apr.
1674; Benjamin, 7 Jan. 1685; Thomas, 1 Apr. 1677; Elizabeth again, 29
Sept. 1679, d. young; Joseph, 20 Mar. 1682; Sarah, 21 Feb. 1688; and
Elizabeth again, wh. d. young. As I find not his d. I presume he rem. His eldest
d. m. I suppose, 3 Dec. 1685, the third Edward Norris. JAMEES, Woburn,
m. 29 Dec. 1685, Susanna Blodget, perhaps d. of the first Samuel,
had James, b. 1 Nov. 1686; Susanna, 2 May 1689; Abigail, 17 Jan.
1692; Sarah, 13 Dec. 1694; Nathan, 12 June 1697; and Ruth, 12 Dec.
1699. Prob. he rem. JOHN, Salem 1637, freem. Mar. 1638, had w. Elizabeth
and ch. beside James bef. ment.; Samuel, whose bapt. was 4 Nov. 1638;
Catharine; and Ruth; and d. a. 1671. His will of 16 Aug. was pro. 19
Sept. of that yr. Catharine, m. 26 June 1657, Jacob Towne of Topsfield;
and Ruth m. 19 July 1658, Job Swinnerton of Salem, and d. 22
May 1670. JOHN, Braintree, had d. Ann wh. d. June 1640. JOHN,
Portsmouth 1631, one of the men sent by Mason the gr. propr. was aft.
of Kittery, in 1650 was "sw. constable for the riv. of Pascataquack," as
my copy of York rec. says; and it is prob. that he kept his precinct in
good order, for he submit. in 1652 to Mass. and in 1655 and 8 he was of
the gr. jury. JOHN, Salem, m. 3 Mar. 1690, Sarah, d. of John Waters, had
John, b. 22 Mar. 1692. JOSEPH, Hartford, m. Abigail, d. of Samuel Spencer.
