He was born about 1634 in Scotland and died between January 24 - February 8, 1718, according to my findings. My eighth great grandmother was Hannah Lissen. John did come to this country on the Sarah and James. John was one of 272 Scotish Prisoners of War from the Battle of Worcester who arrived in Boston on 2-24-1652 to be sold as indentured workers to pay for the cost of their transportation. I would love to compare notes with you and exchange information. Bunny Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
