• Notes

  John settled in Watertown Farms, now Weston, MA. He was an original member and one of the first deacons of the Weston church having been elected on Jan 4, 1709/10. He served until his resignation on June 29, 1741. John was a successful farmer and caring father who provided for all of his sons. He married Abigail Morse, also of Watertown. Abigail's gravestone is located in the old Weston cemetary, and it is assumed that John is also buried there.
