Reg. XII. 249) but 27 Aug. 1643. That he had other ch. of wh. one or two must have been b. in Eng. is plain eno. from his will of 23 Mar. 1663, in wh. while he names these, he ment. that he formerly gave prop, to s. Barnard; Joshua ; Joseph, b. a. 1638 ; and s.-in-law Edward Colman, wh. m. 27 Oct 1648, his d. Margaret; provides for w. Joyce, and s. Caleb. Perhaps he had, also, younger d.

From Findagrave.com:

Martha Lumbert, daughter of Ensign Barnard Lumbert and his unnamed wife. She was born September19, 1639 at Barnstable, Massachusetts Bay Colony and baptized there November 2, 1639 by Rev. John Lothrop. Martha's actual birth record in the Barnstable town records says she was born Sept. 19, 1640, but as one cannot be baptized before one is born, the year 1640 is an obvious error.
Martha died prior to September 12, 1698, the date of her husband John Manter's will, in which he makes no mention of or provision for her. His will was probated at Tisbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony on May 25, 1708, and again contains no mention of her. Thus it must be presumed that Martha was already dead when her husband wrote his will, not as Banks claimed that she survived her husband and died at Tisbury Oct. 3, 1724. Banks obviously confused the still standing gravestone of Hannah (Eddy) Manter, who died Oct. 4, 1724 at Tisbury, wife of Martha's son Ensign John Manter, Jr., with being that of Martha (Lumbert) Manter.
On July 1, 1657 of record at Barnstable, Massachusetts Bay Colony, Martha married John Manton [i.e., Manter] by whom she had eight known children who are summarized in their father's memorial.
Martha is traditionally assumed to have been interred at the present West Tisbury Village Cemetery, but has no extant gravestone, if she had one to begin with.
