About John Bellows
Biography
From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bellows-42
John Bellows was on the passenger list for the Hopewell to New England in 1635. He was listed as age 12.[1] No record appears for him in New England until his marriage to Mary Wood in 1655 in Concord. Savage says that he was of "Concord 1645" but no record supporting this was found by Anderson in his research on John Bellows. Anderson observes that other young passengers from the Hopewell settled in Concord, and it is likely that he did, too.[2]
John Bellows married Mary Woods, daughter of John Woods, in Concord on 9 May 1655.[3] Anderson cites John Wood's will of 26 Nov 1677 referring to "my son-in-law John Bellows"[2]
John Bellows was probably a carpenter, since his inventory after his death included a number of woodworking tools..[2]
They had 9 children, and all are mentioned in his will except Daniel, who died young. A 10th child, Benjamin, born after Nathaniel 18 Jan 1677, not named in the will, is probably the illegitimate child of oldest daughter Mary. The father is unknown, but daughter Mary was summoned to court five years later, apparently for fornication. She "had been gone from home" and did not appear in court.[2]
The first three children were born in Concord. They then moved to Marlborough, where the next five children were born. They moved back to Concord by the birth of 9th child Nathaniel in April 1676, probably because of the Indian raids on Marlborough early in King Philip's War. They returned again to Marlborough prior to his death in 1683.[2]
John Bellows will was dated 19 January 1683. The estate was inventoried on 6 and August, and the willt was proved 2 Oct 1683. Marlborough Vital Records list his death date as 10 January 1683, but this is clearly a transcription error. Anderson speculates it should have been 10 July 1683.[2]
