• Notes

  John and Frances (____) Farrow came from Hingham, England with daughter Mary in 1635. John Sr. had a grant of five acres of land in our Hingham on Town (South) St., near the spot where Dr. H. E. Spaulding later resided. At the time the new meeting-house was erected he and his two sons were located on East St., below Cushings Bridge. Frances outlived her husband dying 28 JAN 1688/9; John Sr. died 7 JUL 1687, leaving a will dated 28 MAR 1687 and proved 17 AUG 1687. John Sr. and Frances had the following children: Mary, John, Remember, Hannah and Nathan. John Jr. was a carpenter. Constable in 1672. He resided in the second precinct. In his will of 10 FEB 1708/9, proved 9 APR 1716, mentions wife Frances and seven children; two, namely Hannah and William, having died before him. Boston records for the period 1644 and 1646 included earlier births from other towns claiming them to be Boston Records. I believe that Mary could have been born in Boston as the records indicate. Maybe her mother's parents lived in Boston and she went back home to have someone care for her two children, William and Esther.
