mo. bef. he ment. w. Mary, s. John, and the ds. as Mary Robinson;
Rebecca, mo. of Samuel and Sarah Latham; and Sarah Bishop. The
Geneal. Reg. IV. 343, is elaborately wrong, in mak. him one of the

1643; but had prob. been at Scituate five yrs. earlier. JAMES, Haddam,
present. for freem. 1669, as Trumbull, Col. Rec. II. 106 proves.
He came 1650, as serv. to William Pincheon, to Springfield, P. hav.
paid for his pass, and his will of 9 June 1694, then a capt. on milit.
serv. names w. Eliz.; s. James, b. 27 Nov. 1668; and Thomas; d. Eliz.
m. and Mary and Susan unm. He d. bef. 5 Jan. 1698. JAMES, Haddam,

Rebecca, b. 1699; Susanna, 1701; Mary, 1703, d. young; James, 7

and Thomas, min. of Amesbury, were made Admors. and there

his f. His will of 19 Oct. 1659 provides for his w. "all that is due to
her in Eng. and £40. to carry her to Eng. if she choose to go. If she
do not go, she pay d. Temperance £10. but to have one third of my

seems to render it very unlikely, that she was, as Goodwin, 251, makes
her, d. of John Curtis; but rather an Eng. woman, nam. Elizabeth Bourne,
as from the adjudicat. of the Court, upon est. of Ellen Bostwick, a relative,
