Biography

https://commonheroes3.wordpress.com/11th-generation/webb-sr-john-an...

Ann (Bassett) Webb, John’s wife of about 27 years, died 26 August 1667 at Northampton. John married again at Northampton on 16 October of that same year to Elizabeth Swift, the daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth (Capen) Swift of Dorchester.

He died in 1670 and his widow Elizabeth presented in court at Springfield on Sept. 27, 1670, the inventory of his estate, taken June 13, 1670. The inventory totaled £82.09.04, including a house and 1 acre of land at Nashawanuck on the Manhan river and seventeen acres on the west side of Richard Lord’s land. A portion of his goods were not included in the inventory because they were mortgaged to Capt. Pynchon, and blacksmith tools and supplies at “Souanbaug” to the value of £4.08.06 were mentioned as having been given to William Lewis. The court allowed the widow bed, bedding and household equipment for her comfort but the estate was insolvent.”

In 1670 the Northampton court ordered the selectmen to take care of John Webb’s son, Richard, age about sixteen. In 1672, John’s widow Elizabeth married Robert Danks an early resident of Northampton and with two Webb sons, Jeremiah and Peter, lived at Nashowannuck for a long time.
