7867. Mary Foster. Born ca 1649/50 at Salem, MA. Baptized on 29 Mar 1649/50 in Salem, MA.356 Mary died at Woburn, MA, on 29 May 1717.356

From Bartlett's article "Hugh Jones of Salem":356
"About 1694, Mary, the widow of Hugh^1 Jones, removed with most of the children to the northern part of Woburn. On May 7, 1694, William butters and Samuel Snow, Jr., gave bonds to the amount of £150 to the town of Woburn to secure the town against any expense for Mary Jones, John Jones, Sarah Jones, rachel Jones, and Hugh Jones, all formerly of Salem, whome they had been entertaining. (Woburn Town Records, vol. iv, p. 26.) It seems probable that Butters and Snow had married Rebecca and Abigail Jones, to cause their interest in the rest of the family."

On 31 Dec 1672 Mary married Hugh Jones, at Salem, MA.2 Born in 1635 at Wincanton, Somerset. Hugh died at Salem, MA, in 1688.122

"When [Hugh] died is not known but it was before 30 June 1692, for that day Elizabeth Booth swore on the trial for witchcraft of Elizabeth Procter, that the spectre of Jones assured the witness that Mrs. Proctor knew him, 'because he had a pot of cider of her, which he had not paid for.' Such were the nonsense stories, that the Court allowed to be given to the jury. Essex Inst. II. 198."2

From Joseph Gardner Bartlett's article "Hugh Jones of Salem, Mass., and his Descendants" New Eng. Hist. Gen. Reg. (1907): 149:356
"Hugh^1 Jones, progenitor of the particular Jones family herein treated, was born about 1635, came to New England about 1650, and settled in Salem, Mass., where he resided the rest of his life, and died about 1688. The following deposition secured presumably to establish a claim to some property in england, affords authentic particulars of his origin and emigration: 'These presents are to certifie unto whome it may concerne that wee have known Hugh Joanes, as one coming from England in ye same shipp with us into the contry above thirty yeares agoe (and as we understood abord Mr. Stratton's ship) that he came from Wincanton and was servant to Mr. Robert Gutch: and his sister and Elizabeth Due and Margaret White and James Abbott and John Vining as wee understood came from the same place: and the same Hugh Joanes that came along with us into ye contry is now liveing. Taken upon the corporall oathes of ye sd Thomas and John Cromwell in court at Salem the 27 of June 1682. And alsoe ye sd Hugh Joanes then personally appeared in Court being in health. Attestes Hilliard Veren, Clerk.' (Essex Co. Deeds, vol. vi. fol 28.)
"Wincanton is a small parish in Somersetshire, England, of which the existing registers do not begin until 1636.
"His 'service' with Robert Gutch was perhaps as an apprentice; and after its expiration , it appears that he was for a while in the employ of Thomas Gardner of Salem, as in June, 1660, he made a deposition in regard to the estate of Joshua Conant beginning, 'I Hugh Jones doe witness that while I lived with my master Mr. Gardner,' etc.; also, in Nov., 1661, Hugh Jones, aged 25 years, testified in regard to a colt 'formerly owned by my master Mr. Gardner.' (Essex Co. Court files.) About this time he married, and on Nov. 18, 1661, received from the town a homestead grant of about three acres of land near the brook running down to the mill. (Salem Town Records. Essex Institute Hist. Coll., vol. xl, p. 114.) This land 'Hugh Jones, planter,' sold to William robinson of Salem, on Apr. 22, 1673 (Essex Co. Deeds, vol. iv. fol. 63); and on Apr. 13, 1674, he bought of Thomas Gardner, five acres in the 'North Neck,' formerly the property of Henry Skerry. (Essex Co. Deeds, vol. iv, fol. 54). No records are found of his possession of any other land.
"Hugh^1 Jones appears to have been a farmer, and a man of small property and humble position in the community; and the struggel for existence must have been a strenuous one in rearing his large family on his small estate. His descendant for five generations lived mostely in Middlesex and Worcester Counties, Mass., and Hillsborough County, N. H. They were a vigorous, hardy, long-lived rade of farmers and blacksmiths, reared large families, were continually pioneers to new settlements on the advancing frontiers, and most of them were at some period engaged in the military service. None of them obtained a liberal education or acquired more than local distinction.
"The record of the decease of Hugh^1 Jones has not been found, but it may be surmised that he came to a mysterious end, as, during the Salem witchcraft trials in 1692, Elizabeth Booth deposed that the uneasy ghosts of four murdered persons appeared to her; and that 'the spectre of Hugh Jones assured her that Mrs. Elizabeth Proctor killed him because he had a poght of syder of her which he had not paid her for.' (Essex Institute Hist. Coll., vol. ii, p. 198.)"
"An inventory of the estate of Hugh^1 Jones was returned in Dec., 1688, with an additional inventory in Nov., 1690. (Essex Institute Hist. Coll., vol. iv, p. 44.)"

(Research):Deanne Driscoll: I have been using the Chapin genealogy books and trying to add the information to the internet. I am related to a Holbrook/Chapin line. I also had files of my e-mails and I had problems with the computer and so we reloaded the Window program and it wiped out al of my files and e-mail addresses. I am not sure of my source of information. You wrote that the father birth was Mass. on my site and not Conn. The book I am using gives the names and dates but they are not specific when it comes to places of birth so my information could be wrong and I have not done any of the research.
