  • Timothy2 was the last son of the first wife. The date of his birth can only be approximated. ............. his birth must be dated as early as 1673. He was probably born before that time.

  • Timothy2 had wife Sarah. The whole family concur in giving her name as Sarah Cromwell.
  • http://www.archive.org/stream/wentworthgenealo01inwent#page/n304/mo...
  • ..... as her great-grandson, Ebenezer5 (647) remembered seeing her, she must have died after 1750.
  • Timothy2 made his will at Berwick, 3 May, 1719. It was proved 8 July following, his son Timothy3 executor. He willed to his wife one-half of his estate during her natural life, and after her death, the whole to his sons Timothy3 and Samuel3. ..........
  • Timothy and Sarah (Cromwell) Wentworth had children:
    • 51. I. Timothy3. [242]
    • 52. II. Samuel3. [245]
    • 53. III. Sarah3, married, 1st Benjamin Hossum; 2d John White. [250]

  • TIMOTHY3 (51. I.), son of Timothy3 and Sarah (Cromwell) Wentworth, married Elizabeth Hodgdon. He, "of Berwick," sold to "cozen Paulle (32) Wentworth, of Dover," 7 April, 1705, for £20, dwelling-house at Salmon Falls, on the west side of the river, about 47 rods from the mill ; the deed is free of incumbrance, and with no name of wife. He died about 1735, his inventory being taken 16 July, 1735. His widow Elizabeth married John Pierce ; and John Pierce and wife Elizabeth, late widow of Timothy3 Wentworth, in June 1739, petitioned Court for leave to sell some of the real estate, as the personal property was not sufficient to pay the debts of her late husband Timothy3 Wentworth. Among the bills against his estate at its settlement, 18 July, 1738, were the following : "Maintainance of two of the children of deceased 21 months until they died, at £7 per year." "Maintainance of one child 3 years and 7 months, at £5 per year." Taking the three years and seven months from the date of settlement would give January 1735, as the time of his death.
  • Timothy3 and Elizabeth Wentworth had :
    • 243. I. Child,4 died 1737.
    • 244. II. Child,4 died 1737.
