Notes for John Poore: From: The Essex Antiquarian, Vo. 12, p. 40-41.
"Old Poor Tavern, Newbury."
This old homestead of the Poors was situated on Newbury Neck, on the original main thoroughfare from Boston to Portsmouth, and about a quarter of a mile from the southerly end of Parker River bridge. The house originally consisted of one square room on the ground floor and a chamber above it, the chimney being on the eastern end. The inside of the house remained in an unfinished condition. It was built by John Poor, the immigrant, about 1650, and he lived there until he was frozen to death, while lost in the forest, in November, 1684. (997)
The old house was taken down in the spring of 1890; and a new house was built upon the same site. This is one of the rare instances where a homestead remained in the same family for eight generations.
John Poore went out hunting and got lost, and died of cold and hunger in the woods.

Death

An inquest held into his death describes the probable cause and date: "November 24th, Inquest on the body of John Poore, senior. We judge that being in the woods and following his game, he was bewildered, and lost himself, and in his pursuit plucked off his clothes, and scattered them some good distance, one part from another till he had left nothing on save his waistcoat and drawers and breeches and hose and shoes."
He left no known will, however, the administration of his estate survives.[11] It was administered by his wife Sarah and his eldest son John. The estate was split equally between his widow and his children, except the eldest son was to have a double portion. The estate amounted to £90. 10s. 0d. with £30 withheld to pay for debts. The remainder was split among:
- Sarah, his wife, £6. 9s.
- John Poore, eldest son, £12. 18s.
- Henry Poore, £6. 9s.
- Joseph Poore, £6. 9s.
