The records fail to give us any definite information in regard to the location of JOHN, 2d, and REBECCA (HIGBY), and the line has been exceedingly difficult to follow beyond that of his grandchildren.

His children were:

• 65 ELIZABETH, b. 1738.
• 66 JOHN (3d), b. 1739, d. 1824; m. 1763, Elizabeth Norton, d. 1814.
• 67 REBECCA, b. 1740, d. 1797; m. Thomas Foote.
• 68 MARY, b. 1743.
• 69 PELEG, b. 1744, d. about 1806; m. Merab Ward. (?)
