his death can be approximately inferred from the fact
that administration was granted on his estate 7 Mar. 1760.
He was described as a joiner (*).
He married, 18 Dec. 1706, Mary Morse, daughter of Deacon
Benjamin and Ruth (Sawyer) Morse of Newbury, who was born
15 May, 1686, in Newbury, and died 10 Aug. 1755. Children,
