AG, p. 16:199, "Deputy-Governor Stephen Goodyear of New Haven, Reverend John Bishop of Stamford, and the Lake and Watts Families of Boston" by Donald L Jacobus, says Mary Watts, d/o John Watts and Lydia Goodyear m. James Treworgye, s/o Samuel Treworgye and Dorcas Walton. "He was a minor in 1676, and d. by 1699."

According to GDMNH, the death is known from a deposition of a Thomas Smith regarding a creditor's claim against the estate. There were two sons Samuel, born in Boston, who both died in infancy. This is supported by Source:Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States. Births, Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths, 1630-1699 (A Report of the Record Commissioners):

• p. 234: [1697. Town.] Samuel of James & Mary Truworthy born Jan. 24.
