Sylvanus Wentworth

William Wentworth and his first and/or second wife had eleven children, birth dates of the children not known, but estimated by assuming they were at least 21 years old when recorded as taxed:

Sylvanus, m. Elizabeth Stewart.

Their child was Elizabeth Wentworth

Death date of 2/11/1662 can not be correct if he was born 1659 and married Elizabeth Stewart.

• SYLVANUS2 (7. VI.), son of Elder William1 Wentworth, married (as by Rowley, Mass. Records, in Salem, Mass.), 7 November, 1685, Elizabeth Stewart, of Rowley. She is believed to have been daughter of Duncan Stewart, of Rowley. (See Coffin's History of Newbury, p. 319.) This is the first mention yet found of Sylvanus.2
• The next is when his name was signed, 20 February, 1689, at Dover, N. H., to "A petition of the Inhabitants and Train soldiers of the Province of New Hampshire."
• The birth of "Elizabeth, daughter of Sylvanus and Elizabeth Wentworth, born 27 August, 1689," is recorded at Rowley.
• Elder William1 Wentworth, of Cochecho (Dover), N. H., 9 May, 1693, "now living at Exeter, N. H.," gave to his son Benjamin2 the corn that he had sown this year upon his (father's) home lot, the black cow that he hath made choice of, and the land his son Sylvanus2 formerly lived upon.
• There is nothing to denote when Sylvanus2 moved from Dover, N. H., to Rowley, Mass., nor where nor when he died. Nor is there trace of any child except
  • 50. I. Elizabeth, born 27 August, 1689. Rowley Records say : "Nathaniel Dresser, of Rowley, Mass., married Elizabeth3 Wentworth, 13 November, 1707." This Nathaniel Dresser, born 27 August, 1681, was alive in 1724. In 1711-12, John and Rebecca Dresser, of Rowley, give to son Nathaniel Dresser land in Rowley, for their maintenance.
• After the most diligent search, the above is all that has been learned of Sylvanus- or his family. __________________________
