"John Partridge, with William, his brother, and sister Margery (Margaret), came to Medfield, Massachusetts, from Dedham, in 1653. He was in Dedham at least a year earlier, for, on 'ye 7 ye 1 month, 1652,' he shared, with others, in the division of 500 acres of land (see Dedham town records, vol. iii, p 211). John and William took up their house lots in Medfield, in 'Bachelors Roe,' now North street. Their lots were near each other, and another near neighbor was Thomas Mason, who married Margery Partridge, April 23, 1653, the first recorded marriage in Medfield. John and William both signed the 'proprietors agreement'...they appear to have been good and useful citizens, both serving a term as selectman, and John being chosen clerk of the market in 1672. In 1676, when Medfield was burned by the Indians, John's house and barn were destroyed, with a quantity of grain and several head of cattle."
