About Capt. James Cudworth, Jr.

Source: Records of the Cudworth Family, A History of the Ancestors and Descendants of James Cudworth of Scituate, MA;

W. John Calder; 1941; p. 24

"James Cudworth, like all of the young men of the Scituate settlement, received a good family education, since the heads of these families were substantial men, largely from Kent, England and were themselves similarly endowed. James at an early age joined the militia, and in 1652 at the age of 17 was a captain. In 1654-5 he married Mary Howland, daughter of Henry, and niece of John (the pilgrim of the Mayflower). James left no will and no division of property, but the Court appointed Mary his Administratrix."
