Samuel Ayres

Samuel Ayres of Newbury m, March 21, 1677, Abigail, daughter of William Fellows, probably his own cousin, by whom he had Mary b Jauy. 13, 1677-8; John b March 16, 1678-9; William b Jany. 26, 1681-2; Ephraim b Feby. 13, 1686-7; Stephen b March 13, 1689; Jabez b Dec. 27, 1690; Samuel, Joseph, Ebenezer and Edward, these names I add from a deed of Oct. 5, 1717, of the mother and brothers of Stephen, to his widow. [I may here add that Jabez is recorded as the child of Samuel and Sarah Ayres, yet his first wife was Abigail, his widow was Abigail, and in 1710 William Fellows in a deed mentions "my

brother-in-law Samuel Ayres, who m with my sister," and I think it more probable that the clerk made an error, than that he had three wives so quickly.
