1694; Hannah, 5 Jan. 1696; and Ebenezer, 17 Sept. 1699. FRANCIS,
Providence 1637. But for insert. of this and the other R. I. numerous
hosts, whose name is more common, spelt Wickes, ano. place may seem
better. GEORGE, Dorchester, freem. 13 May 1640, brot. w. said to be
Jane, sis. of Roger Clap, and s. Ammiel, William, and Joseph, tho. the
last may have been b. at D. d. 27 Oct. 1659, says Farmer, foll. the town
rec. in wh. date Geneal. Reg. V. 467 follows him; but the inv. in
Geneal. Reg. VII. 334, unless the figures be wrong, proves that he d.
28 Dec. 1650, for it was taken 22 Jan. foll. and perhaps the d. of Oct.
1659 may have been of inf. s. of Ammiel the first. Plainly the numerals
a. the inv. in Geneal. Reg. are erron. for aft. that date, four ch. of his
are bapt. viz. John, 7 Mar. 1652, Elizabeth 18 Sept. 1653, wh. prob. d. soon;
William, 20 Aug. 1654; and Elizabeth again, 14 Sept. 1656. In the Hist.
of D. compiled, with unusual diligence, by Ebenezer Clapp, 137, is the
true date. JOHN, Dorchester, perhaps s. of William of the same, m. 4
Nov. 1674, Sarah Hammond, but no more is kn. of him. JOSEPH, Dorchester,
s. of George, prob. b. in Eng. m. 9 Apr. 1667, Mary, d. of
maj. Humphrey Atherton, had Mary, b. 20 May 1668; Joseph, 26 Mar.
bapt. 3 Apr. 1670, d. at 20 yrs.; Repent, 22, bapt. 27 Feb. 1675; and
perhaps others. He was freem. 1673, and d. 31 Oct. 1690; and his
wid. d. 17 Sept. 1692, aged 56, if the inscript. in Geneal. Reg. IV. 169,
be not erron. as I suspect. It was a mistake of Dr. Harris, very easily
made, to read the names of his man and his f., as Wilkes. JOSEPH,
Dorchester, prob. s. of Ammiel the first, by w. Sarah, had Elizabeth b. 31
Aug. 1691; Sarah, 3 Apr. 1693; Hannah, 6 Apr. 1695; Experience, 2
June 1697; and Thankful, 29 Apr. 1699. His w. d. 12 Feb. 1736,
aged 74, says the gr.st. LEONARD, Portsmouth, one of the men wh.
stood rather for Mass. than for the crown, in 1665, as in our Col. Rec.
IV. pt. 2, 270; by w. Mary had John, b. 14 June 1668; Samuel, 14
Dec. 1670; Joseph, perhaps, 11 Mar. 1672; Joshua, 30 June 1674;
Mary, 19 July 1676; Margaret, 4 June 1679; and he had a sec. w.
Elizabeth d. of Samuel Haynes the first. SUPPLY, Marlborough, s. of the
first Ammiel, m. 4 June 1699, Susanna Barnes, d. perhaps of Richard of
the same, had Thomas, b. 5 Sept. 1700; Jemima, 23 Feb. 1702; Abigail,
26 Jan. 1704; Ammiel, 13 Oct. 1705; John, 3 Mar. 1707; Elijah,
11 Feb. 1710;' and Susanna, 11 Jan. 1712. His w. d. four days aft.
and he d. 22 Sept. 1755. THOMAS, Charlestown 1636, rec. as inhab. at
Salem 1639, there had Bethia, bapt. 27 Feb. 1642; and Hannah, 5 Jan.
1645; d. soon aft. mak. his will in 1656. Hannah m. 27 Aug. 1667,
John Pickman. THOMAS, Stamford, an orig. sett. 1641, sometimes
spell. Weekes, rem. to Oyster Bay, L. I. bef. 1654, there d. 1671, leav.
w. and ch. Thomas, John, Rebecca, Martha, Elizabeth Mary, and Sarah,
