About Freeborn Balch, Sr.
Source: http://balchipedia.wikidot.com/freeborn-balch-born:august-9-1660
Freeborn Balch (Aug. 9, 1660 - Jun. 12, 1729)[1] was born in Beverly, Massachusetts (in the house his grandfather John built) to Benjamin and Sarah (Gardner) Balch. Little information is available concerning Freeborn's early life. What information is available indicates that Freeborn became a farmer on a portion of land he received from his father. Located on the eastern shore of Wenham Lake, Freeborn had an Apple orchard, Cider Mill, and Cider House that he willed to his son William.
Marriages
Freeborn was married first to the widow Mirriam (Moulton) Bachelder - they had a daughter and two sons. Next Freeborn was married to a woman by the name of Mallis (unknown surname) who seems to have died shortly after with no children. Finally, April 30, 1690, Freeborn married Elizabeth Fairfield and together they had seven children.
Side Note
