Dec. 1706. JOSIAH, sometimes writ.[1] Joseph, Woburn, m. 1 Nov. 1661,
Elizabeth Hassall, perhaps d. of Richard of Watertown, and had Elizabeth b. 2 July
1664; Joseph, 14 Mar. 1667; Sarah, 25 Feb. 1670; John, 2 Oct.
1672; Joanna, or Hannah, as ano. rec. has it, 18 Apr. 1675; James, 10
Nov. 1677; Timothy, 3 Apr. 1679; Stephen, 22 Feb. 1681; Jacob, 22
June 1683; Ruth, 10 Oct. 1685; and Bryan, 14 Mar. 1688. Of this
w. I suppose, was b. 23 Feb. 1671, a creature, minutely describ. Farmer
MS. says in p. 33 of Incr. Mather's Hist. Ind. Wars; and that explains
the orig. of the love of the marvellous in his s. "greater than his f."
For ano. w. he had Ruth, wid. of John Center, and she d. 18 Feb. 1717,
aged 60, if the gr.-st. be true;

that he rem. to Charlestown, and m. 7 July 1692, Elizabeth Bateman; wh.
may seem very prob. bec. 2 Nov. 1686 his d. Elizabeth m. Eleazer Bateman;
and it may be that the wid. of Center bec. his third w.
[2] JOSIAH,
Woburn, perhaps s. of the preced. was deac. d. 22 Jan. 1748, aged 73,
by Mr. Wyman's inscr. of the gr.-st. JUDAH, Northampton, youngest
s. of the first Samuel of the same, m. 7 Jan. 1667. Mercy, d. of Henry
Burt
, had Samuel, b. 6 Nov. foll. d. in 3 mos.; Mercy, 14 Mar. 1669;
Esther, 18 Aug. 1671, d. soon; Judah, 14 Nov. 1673, d. in two ds.;
Judah, again, May 1677; Ebenezer, Sept. 1679; Thomas, 8 Apr. 1682;
Patience, 18 Apr. 1684; and Nathaniel, 5 May 1688. He was freem.
1676, m. sec. w. 11 July 1706, Sarah, wid. of Richard Burk, wh. d.
1712; and he d. 26 Nov. 1725. MORDECAI, Plymouth, of wh. I find
only that he was b. 30 Oct. 1649 and bur. 20 Mar. 1650, but wh. was
his f. must be left to conject. NATHANIEL, New Hampsh. in Feb. 1690,
request, protect. of Mass. NICHOLAS, Sandwich 1643, had been of
Lynn 1637. PETER, Sandwich 1643, had rem. to that place 1638. My
conject. is that he was br. of Nicholas; and in his MS. collect. for new
edit. Farmer had noted, that he had s. Adam, b. 20 Mar. 1650, wh. prob.

others of ca. town in advis. the Gov. and Assist. a rais. a public stock,
freem. 14 May 1634, was of Boston 1636 or earlier, being No. 89 of the
ch. so that it may well seem to be a differ. man. The Boston man had
ld. at Mount Wollaston, and was call. capt. He there had a mill, wh.
with forty acres, he gave, in 1640, to Thomas Dudley, as price of five
cows. I hope he had a good bargain, but it seems a hard one. Prob.
he liv. sometime at Dorchester, aft. 1636. RICHARD, Plymouth 1643,
had Esther, b. 1649; and Isaac, 26 Aug. 1662. RICHARD, Rehoboth
1644. ROBERT, Boston, came as a runaway, 1630, from London, where
