Origins

Based on the foregoing, John Hardman's and Sarah (Pray) Hardman's four children very probably were:

1. Sarah, b. probably about 1648-9 in Lynn, Massachusetts, m. May 14, 1669 John Tower in Hingham,[15][14] d. October 16, 1729[14]
2. Margaret, b. probably about 1650-1 in Lynn, Massachusetts, m. April 24, 1668 Ibrook Tower in Hingham,[16][14] d. November 19, 1705 in Hingham[14]
3. Mary, b. December 9, 1652 in Braintree.[17] No further record. Presumably alive as one of John Hardman's four living children at the time of his death in 1667.
4. John, b. November 9, 1654 in Braintree,[17] m. about 1672 Hannah/Anna _______,[18] d. 1718 in Bridgewater[18]
