By 1636 when John was 26, he second married Mary [surname not known], in Charlestown, Suffolk co.,
MA[1,2,5,6,7]. Their marriage date is estimated from the fact that their first child was born in 1636/7 (early 1637). Mary
died in 28d:7m(September)1642 in Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA[1,2]. Mary was admitted to the Church in
Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA on 8d:11m(February):1636/7[2].
They had the following children:
3 i. Mary
4 ii. Sarah
5 iii. Elizabeth
6 iv. Abigail
Before 1644 when John was 34, he third married Joanna [surname not known], in Charlestown, Suffolk co.,
MA[1,2,5,8,9]. Joanna was also referred to as Hannah & Johanna in the records and was born in 1608[1]. She died in
Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA on 27 August 1697; she was 89[1,2].
Joanna was aged 50 in court documents of 1658, but was called “aged 100 years” at the time of her death per
record[2]. The former seems more likely. The latter is based upon a notation in Wyman: “In Admin. Account, mention
was made of keeping aged mother of deceased 7 years, being nearly 100 years old[10].” I’m sure that a woman of 89
bloody well *seemed* to be “nearly 100” at that time and/or her age was exaggerated for the benefit of the court.
They had the following children:
7 i. Hannah
8 ii. John1
9 iii. John2
10 iv. Daniel
