2. ELIZABETH COUSINS (Isaac'?). An Elizabeth Cousins married John Barrett in Charlestown, June 6, 1664.|| There seems little room for doubt but that the bridegroom of this match was John Barrett of Wells, Maine, the only son of John' Barrett senior, who appeared in that town about the year 1653, when he took the oath of allegiance, and to whom in 1657 the selectmen confirmed by grant the farm of one hundred and fifty acres which he had bought of Edward Rishworth, the original grantee.* “Oold John Barrett,” who may have lived in York and Charlestown before his settlement in Wells,f died at about the time of his son's marriage, leaving a will, probated July 4, 1664, by which his wife Mary inherited the Wells house and farm while his son John received several small lots of upland “at the stony brook" and marsh at “Ogunquett.”! The widow, Mary Barrett, deeded all of her inheritance to her son John” in 1670, $ and married again before 1671 when, as “Mary Ladbrooke formerly Barrett aged about 54 years" she made a deposition in regard to the boundaries at Stony Brook at the "tyme wo this Deponent & her husband liued at the Farme of Mr John Wheelwrights at Wells.”||
