1679, he gave most of his prop. and resid. to his only s. Thomas, prob.
by the first w. See Bond, 610. Very observ. is it that both uncle and
neph. had ws. with unusual Christian name, wh. is very rare
occurr. WILLIAM, Concord, m. wid. Pellet, mo. of Thomas, had Remembrance,
b. 25 Feb. 1640; freem. 1650; rem. to Chelmsford as one of
the first sett. there, had Deeborah, 1653; Samuel, 14 Feb. 1656, bapt. 20

certain. was freem. on th same day with him, 2 Sept. 1635, was rep.
1636, 7, 8, and 9, had John, wh. was bur. 5 June 1640, and perhaps
