• .... etc.
• We first find Elder William with a wife Elizabeth in 1666-7. The same tradition that gives Elder Wentworth a second wife also gives Elizabeth as her first child, and Timothy as the last child of the previous wife; and also that he had children after he had had grandchildren. The first grandchild whose birth has been found recorded was born 1666; so it may be inferred that if he had a second wife he married her between 1660 and 1665, and that Mrs. Elizabeth Tozer and sons Ephraim and Benjamin were her children.
• The order of the birth of the prior children would seem to be as follows: Samuel, John, Gershom, Ezekiel, Paul, Sylvanus, and Timothy. We know he had a child in 1640; and there is every probability that Ephraim and Benjamin were born after 1670, making a difference of over thirty years in the births of children, and creating a probability that there were two wives. And there may have been other children. Indeed under the head of the "Daughters of Elder William," the claims of Sarah, wife of Benjamin Barnard, to be his daughter, upon the ground that her children, left fatherless, call Paul Wentworth their uncle, are canvassed.

• Ephraim (10. IX.), son of Elder William Wentworth, was one of the younger of the children, and, according to tradition, son of the Elder's second wife, Elizabeth. .............. He married, 1st between 22 October, 1696, and July, 1699, Mary, daughter of Richard and Grace Miller, of Kittery, Me. She was sister of Martha Miller, who married his nephew John, son of Exekiel; and also sister of Samuel Miller, whose widow was the wife of Christopher Banfield, of Kittery, Me. When the first wife of Ephraim died does not appear; but in March 1735, and in November, 1736, he had wife Elizabeth. She was probaby the widow of Joseph Beard; for when Samuel Beard, of Dover, H. H., 5 Oct, 1737, sold land belonging to his father, Joseph Beard, deceased, Ephraim Wentworth and wife Elizabeth joined in the deed to "release any right of dower said Elizabeth might have therein."

• (XX) William Wentworth, son of Christopher Wentworth (19), was baptized at St. Peter at Gowts, in the city of Lincoln, June 8. 1584. He was living in Alvord from 1614 to 1620. He married, November 28, 1614, Susanna Fleming, a widow, daughter of Edward Carter, of Well. She had married first, July 1, 1613, Uther Fleming, son of Robert and Jane Fleming, her first husband dying six months later. Three children of Wentworth were baptized at Alford. Then he removed to Rigsby. Children: 1. William, mentioned below. 2. Edward, baptized at Alford, January 18, 1617-18. 3. Christopher, baptized at Alford, June 4, 1620, buried at Rigsby, May 18, 1621. The son Edward, settled at Boston. England, and had a large family.
• (XXI) Elder William Wentworth, son of William Wentworth (20). was baptized at Alford. England, March 15, 1615-16. He was the American immigrant, and came to Exeter, New Hampshire, with numerous relatives and friends. The first record we have of him is his signature to a compact drawn by Rev. John Wheelwright for the government of Exeter, dated July 4, 1639. Wentworth probably came over in 1637 with a party of Wheelwright's friends. The settlement at Exeter was made up of exiles and dissenters from the Puritan church in Boston, and when in 1642 the jurisdiction of Massachusetts extended to Exeter, Mr. Wheelwright was obliged to leave the town he had founded, being under sentence of banishment. He went to Wells, province of Maine, to which Massachusetts then had no claim, and with him went Wentworth and other adherents from Exeter. In 1642 Wentworth was a juror of Wells in the county court at York ; in 1648, constable ; and juror again in 1647 and 1649. He removed to Dover, New Hampshire, 1650, in the section set off later as the town of Somersworth. December 19, 1729, incorporated April 22, 1754. as a town ; and the lower part, including the Wentworths', was set off from Somersworth and incorporated July 3, 1849, as the town of Rollinsford. Most of the numerous grants of

• land to Wentworth were in that vicinity, north and east of Garrison Hill, on the eastern side of the present road to Great Falls and west of north of Fresh Creek tidewater. The Boston and Maine railroad runs through the property, which was also cut by the turnpike to South Berwick. Part of the estate has come down in the family to Bartholomew Wentworth, now or lately living on the old place. In 1651 Wentworth was a selectman of Dover, also in 1657-60-64-70; moderator of town meeting 1661 ; commissioner to end small causes, 1663; "lot-layer," 1657-60-61; served on important special committees of church and town. The office by which he is best known and remembered is that of ruling elder of the First Church of Dover, organized December, 1638. He was elected before 1655, and served in the pastorates of Daniel Maud, John Reyner, John Reyner Jr., and John Pike, a period of more than forty years. He frequently preached in the absence of the pastor of the church. He officiated as minister at Cocheco, 1665-66, and seems to be the first person employed by public authority to preach within the limits of the present city of Dover. He preached more commonly, we are told, at Quamphegan, now South Berwick, Maine. He preached in Exeter in 1690 and 1693. In March, 1693, the town agreed with him to supply the pulpit for one whole year, if he be able, and to pay him forty pounds for his services. In 1693 he gave his farm at Cocheco to his son Benjamin, whose descendants still own some of the land.
• The story of the saving of Heard's Garrison by Elder Wentworth is famous. On the evening of June 27, 1689, squaws requested leave to sleep by the kitchen fires in the various garrison houses, and were admitted to four of the garrisons, a common practice. Just before dawn the Indian murderers were admitted by the squaws, and in three of the houses they killed twenty-three and carried away twenty-nine captives. Wentworth was awakened by the barking of a dog, and found the Indians entering the open door, pushed them out, and managed to hold the door until help came. Two bullets passed through the door above him. He returned to Dover. He died March 16, 1696-97. He married first, Elizabeth Kenny, and second (probably) Elizabeth ___ , who survived him. Children: 1. Samuel, born 1641. 2. John. 3. Gershom. 4. Ezekiel. 5. Elizabeth, born 1653; married first, James Sharp ; second, Richard Tozer, Jr. 6. Paul. 7. Sylvanus. 8. Timothy. 9. Sarah, probably married Benjamin Barnard. 10. Ephraim, mentioned below, 11. Benjamin.
• (XXII) Ephraim Wentworth, son of William Wentworth (21), died in Dover, New Hampshire. He owned the mill privilege at Fresh Creek, which he received from his father. He sold it in 1652. On November 8, 1708, he bought of John Tuttle Sr., half the lower fall of Salmon river, the west side. He also bought a hundred acres, being half the grant made to William Pomfret in 1656 in Cocheco woods. He was surveyor of highways 1702, and fence viewer in 1709. He married first, Mary, daughter of Richard and Grace Miller of Kittery, Maine ; second, Elizabeth ___ , probably widow of Joseph Beard. His will, dated March 16, 1738, proved June 29, 1748, mentions no wife, and wills the homestead to his son Ezekiel. Children: 1. Ephraim, married February 11, 1724-25, Martha Gray. 2. Spencer, married Keziah Heard. 3. Ezekiel, mentioned below. 4. Samuel, soldier in the revolution ; married first, Patience Downs; second, Widow Elizabeth Carter. 5. Jonathan, married Abigail Heard, of Dover. 6. Mary, married Nehemiah Kimball, of Dover. 7. Anna, married Ephraim Ham, born 1701, died 1752, son of John and grandson of John Ham. 8. Martha, married Joseph Twombly, and resided at Madbury, New Hampshire. 9. Elizabeth, said to have married ___ Twombly.
• (XXIII) Ezekiel Wentworth, son of Ephraim Wentworth (22), died in the summer of 1762, in Dover. He inherited the homestead in Dover. An Ezekiel Wentworth was in Colonel William Pepperell's Louisburg expedition in 1745, and also in Captain Samuel Gerrish's Canada expedition in 1760. He married first, Dorothy Wentworth (3), daughter of his uncle Benjamin Wentworth (2). She died in 1750, leaving three sons, and he married second, 1751, Sarah Nock (now Knox), who married second, David Lyford, April 15, 1768, and after her husband's death lived with her son Jonathan of Rochester until her death in 1802. Children: 1. Ephraim (twin), born July 11, 1746; mentioned below. 2. Isaac (twin), born July 11, 1746; was a sea captain ; left after the revolution and was never heard from. 3. Phineas, born 1748; soldier in revolution ; pensioner ; resided at Dover; died unmarried, February 12, 1828, aged eighty. 4. Jonathan, born May 25, 1752. 5. Dorothy, born June 16, 1754; married, March 19, 1772, Evans Wentworth, son of William (3), and grandson of Benjamin (2).

• Ephraim Wentworth, son of Elder William1 Wentworth, was one of the younger of the children, and, according to tradition, son of the Elder's second wife, Elizabeth. He lived in Dover, N. H., on or adjoining the Wentworth grants. Pike's Journal says, in 1704 :
• May 2s. Sacrament (lay. An Ambush of 4 Indians lay betwixt Tristram H cards & Ephraim Wentworths, upon the north side of the Hill [Garrison Hill], but were happily discovered & escaped.
• As he conveyed to John Waldron, 10 May 1726, the share in the Fresh Creek mill privilege and land granted to his father Elder William1 in 1612, it is evident that he received it either by deed from his father or as his share in the inheritance. John Tattle, sen., conveyed to Ephraim2, 8 November 1708, one eighth of the lower fall of Salmon Falls on the west side. The Dover records say that a grant of two hundred acres, made to William Pomfret in 16o6, was laid out 24 October 1719, one hundred acres of it to Ephraim2 Wentworth, and one hundred to Thomas Downs and Stephen Var- ney. The land lay in " Cochecha woods Bordering on Mr. Rainer's fower hundred acors that Lieth above Tole End," laid out thus : Beginning at a tree near Benjamin Hanson's land, running south by west 76 rods to a tree on the southeast end of Mr. Rayner's land, then bordering on that laud northwest 132 rods to a tree by a fresh marsh, then east by south 58 rods to Benjamin Hanson's land, then east southeast to the first bound, thus making thirty-seven acres. The remainder, running north by east from Hanson's, 232 rods to a hemlock near Gershom Went worth's fresh marsh, then north by west 184 rods to a tree on a hill, then south by west 144 rods, then return. Ephraim2 Wentworth's part was the lower half, adjoining to " Rayner's line on the north, which is now Laid out to Mr. John Waldron " ; a little gore between Rayner's and Wentworth's is allowed to Wentworth.
• He was surveyor of highways in 1702 ; viewer of fences in 1709.
• He married, 1st, between 22 October 1696, and July 1699, Mary, daughter of Richard and Grace Miller, of Kittery, Me. She was sister of Martha Miller, who married his nephew John3 (31), son of Ezekiel2, and also sister of Samuel Miller, whose mother was
• https://archive.org/stream/wentworthgenealo01went#page/160/mode/1up
• the wife of Christopher Banfleld, of Kittery, Me., 22 October 1694. When the first wife of Ephraim2 died, does not appear; but in March 1735, and in November 173G, he had wife Elizabeth. She was probably the widow of Joseph Beard; * for when Samuel Beard, of Dover, N. H., 5 October 1737, sold land belonging to his father Joseph Beard, deceased, Ephraim2 Wentworth and wife Elizabeth joined in the deed to "release any right of dower said Elizabeth might have therein."
• Ephraim2 deeds land, 30 March 1735, to grandsons Ephraim4 Wentworth, son of Ephraim3, and Ephraim4 Kimball, son of Nehemiah Kimball.
• Ephraim2 made his Will 16 March 1738 ; it was proved 29 June 1748. He mentions no wife, but all the children mentioned below, of whom there is no other record. All the daughters were married at the date of the Will, except Elizabeth. The homestead went to Ezekiel3.

Widow Kezia married, 2d, 11 December 1776, Capt. Thomas Pierce, of Portsmouth, N. H.; survived him and lived with a nephew of Spencer3, viz.
