yrs. was burnt by the enemy. Job had James, b. 9 May 1687, and
other childr. prob. bef. and aft. * JOHN, Plymouth, br. of the first
Edward, said to have been b. Apr. 1597, on Saturday bef. his bapt.
18th, but I suspect an error of a day, came in the Fortune, 1623, m. a.
1627, Mary, d. of James Chilton. She had come in the Mayflower,
and in her favor circulates the ridicul. tradit. that she was the first of
Eng. parentage that leapt on Plymouth rock, but the worthless glory is
equally well or ill claim. for John Alden, for neither of them is entitled
to that merit. By her nine ch. at P. were count. of wh. the exact day
or mo. of b. is not found in any one case, but approxim. to date is prob.
as well as also to some line of succession; Susanna, wh. m. Robert
Latham; Mary, b. 1630, wh. m. 16 Jan. 1651, Edward Gray; Edward,
a. 1634; Sarah, wh. m. 15 Aug. 1660, Miles Standish, next, 1665,
Tobias Payne, and last, Richard Middlecot, and so happy as to bear ch.
to the two latter; John; Joseph; Samuel, 1641; Isaac, 1644; and
Benjamin, 12 Aug. 1653. For this, I have partly foll. Russell's Guide
to P. 240; and from him we learn that the last ch. d. bef. m. He was
rep. 1653 and two yrs. more. In 1657 he rem. to Boston, was a thrifty
merch. was freem. 1672, and d. 1674. In his will he names w. s. John,
William Payne, s. of his d. Sarah Middlecot, Parnel, d. of his s. Isaac,
Susan, d. of d. Latham, his s. Benjamin and Edward, childr. of Edward
Gray by his d. Mary, his s. Joseph's two ch. gr.ch. Mary Harris, wh.
was d. of Isaac of Bridgewater, his neph. Gov. Josiah, his br. Josiah's
s. and his niece Elinor Baker, d. of Kenelm W. For this I have only
ref. to Dean's Hist. of Scituate; but perhaps he gives the name of
Harris's d. wrong, and I am sure that he is mistak. in mak. the w. of
Miles Standish ano. d. of Kenelm. His wid. d. 1679; and her will of
31 July 1676, pro. 24 July 1679, wh. may be seen in VI. 300, well
provides for s. John, d. Sarah Middlecot, with her ch. William Payne,
d. Susanna Latham, with her ch. Susanna L. and the gr.ch. Ann Gray.
JOHN, Boston, s. of the preced. merch. by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 22 May
1669; and Ann, 7 Aug. 1670, wh. prob. d. young. He had sec. w.
Judith, but d. early, mak. his will 3 Oct. 1683, pro. nine days aft. as in
Vol. VI. 435, in wh. he gives w. Judith half his dwel.-ho. and ld. in
Boston, while she cont. a wid. the other half to only s. John, his ld. at
Namasket, that is, Middleborough, to two s. of his sis. Latham, and L5.
to ea. of the s. of his three brs. Edward, Joseph, and Samuel. His s.
John was the merch. wh. brot. to Boston in Feb. 1689, from the West
Ind. the declarat. of William, the Prince of Orange, on land. in Eng.
and was, by Gov. Andros, imprison. for publish. the libel. JONATHAN,
