Nicholas the f. was a mason, and resided on the estate first purchased by him, being apparently the same which was occupied fifty years ago by Major Jonas Wyeth, and more recently rented by Dr. John W. Webster. He d. 19 July 1680 a. 85; his w. Rebecca m. Thomas Fox 16 Dec. 1685, and d. 1698, prob. in May.

He was a tanner, and resided in Wat. where he was living in 1716, but d. before 1723, at which time his w. Deborah was a widow. They became paupers before 1716, being the only persons of their name, so far as I have ascertained, who have been a public charge.

Samuel Bowman 1714 (she appears to have survived to extreme old age, as the estate of her husband, who d. 1746, was not wholly distributed to his heirs until 1783, after the death of both his sons; if she retained possession of her dower until that period, her age at death was about 97); John, b. 21 Dec. 1688, d. young; Jonathan, b. 3 Mar. 1689—90; Hannah, b. about 1693, bap. 18 Ap. 1697, m.

John the f. was a mason, Constable 1687, 1688, and resided on Garden Street, upon an estate purchased by him, and adjoining the westerly side of his father's homestead. He d. 13 Dec. 1706; his w.

William Fessenden 12 Oct. 1716. The last two appear to have been the only survivors 19 Aug. 1702, when their father conveyed his estate to trustees for their benefit. William the f. inherited the homestead, and according to a contemporaneous record, was ‘killed by the Indians about 1 Oct. 1703.’ His w. Ruth had probably deceased before 1702.

Deac. James Munroe 23 July 1783, and d. 31 Mar. 1815.
