Author: Hellendrung Surnames: Abbott, Steward Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stewart/6335.3.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The following information is helpful in determining the father of Thomas Abbott who married Sarah Steward in 1664 in Andover as it has already been established that George Abbott of Andover is the son of George Abbott of Rowley. Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County Volume VI Edited by George Francis Dow Transcribed and Abstracted from the Original Court Manuscript by Harriet S. Tapley Published and Copyrighted by the Essex Institute 1917 Salem Quarterly Court Nov. 1676 " Upon petition of Tho. Abbitt, for redress, he being rated for the head of a lunatic person, whom he kept in his house, to 18 rates for the charge of the late war, court declared that no lunatic person is ratable." "John Ossgood, aged about forty-six years, deposed that Thomas Parker, who lately lived with Tho. Abbet, about five or six years ago lived with deponent about nine years. He was ' a lunaticke mane one parte off the moone hee was very much out off hie sences & sum times outragosly mad or distracted so as that hee oftintimes indangered the great hurte or death of my wiff & children so that I did not dare to kep him any longer, when hee was in his well Frame he would work well with gildings, etc.'" "George Abbete, aged about forty-four years, deposed that he occasionally worked with Thomas Parker at his brother's and Parker often used to roam in the woods distracted and spoil his clothes, etc." According to the Osgood family genealogy the John Osgood aged about 46 who made the above deposition in Nov. 1676 lived in Andover see below: " In the year 1630, ten years after the Pilgrims stepped on to the shore of Plymouth, Mass., Robert Osgood died at his home, Cottingworth, in Wherwell, England. He was the father of our emigrant, John Osgood. At that time John had been married to Sarah Booth for three years and they were the parents to either one or two children. Six years later they had four children; Sarah, John, Mary, and Elizabeth.... During the year 1638, 3,000 Englishmen and women sailed for America aboard twenty ships. John Osgood and his Family were among them. They sailed aboard the Ship Confidence in April and landed in Ipswich, Mass. in June of 1638. The Family probably secured lodging with Christopher Osgood, another of our three emigrants, who had come to America in 1633 and settled in Ipswich. John Osgood only stayed in Ipswich for a brief period, since there is record of him living in Newbury, Mass. later in that Summer. Shortly after their arrival in Newbury, Sarah gave birth to a second son, Stephen. Three years later John Osgood moved his Family once more to a settlement called Cochichowicke (Great Water), which later became Andover, Mass. John was the first settler in this new Town and he built his home on the banks of the Cochichowicke River. The site of his home can be found today at the junction of Osgood Street and Court Street. John Osgood came to own over 600 acres of land. His "Great Wide Meadow", referred to in deeds of the 1690's, was situated across from the house. His barn was located on Osgood Street as we know it today. John became one of the most respected and influential citizens of the new Town. His sixth and last child, Hannah, was born in Andover in 1644." " Our Sinne of Ignorance, Andover in 1692 " prepared by the Andover Historical Society & North Andover Historical Society, 1995, includes a large map of Andover in 1692 and shows where each Andover family lived during the witchcraft craze. It also lists all the families who lived in Andover in 1692. It places everyone in family groups, with ages, some occupations, and generation number from the immigrant. There are two Thomas Abbotts listed: NE # 35 ( reference to house location on large map of Andover) Abbott, Thomas, and Sarah ( Steward) Thomas, 24; Sarah, 21; Joseph, 18; Nathaniel, 14; John, 11; Mary, 6; Ebenezer, 2; Dorothy (?) inf. SE # 74 Abbott, Thomas (2), 26 ( prob. yeoman). George Abbott brother of Thomas Abbott was dead in 1692 and his wife had remarried Henry Ingalls. Here is their listing: NE# 48 Ingalls, Henry ( 1) , 65 and Sarah ( Farnum) ( Abbot) Here is the listing for the John Osgood mentioned in the Nov. 1676 court deposition above: NE # 5 Osgood, John (2) 62 ( got liquor license in 1659) and Mary ( Clements) 55 Peter, 29; Samuel, 27; Sarah, 17; Clement, 12 My note----he is 62, thus born 1630, in the Nov. 1676 court deposition he said he was about 46, thus born 1630 and it fits with the information in the Osgood genealogy, that by 1630 his parents had either one or two children and he was the second child. Here is the listing for the lunatic Thomas Parker: NE # 2 Parker, Mary ( Stevens) ( widow of Joseph (1) ) Thomas (2) 38 " NON COMPOS MENTIS" My note, this is Latin and it means 'not of sound mind' We know that George Abbott died in Rowley in 1647 leaving 4 sons: Thomas Abbott, Sr. Nehemiah Abbot George Abott Thomas Abbot, Jr. 1. Thomas Abbott, Sr. married Dorothy Swan and died childless in Rowley in 1659 2. Nehemiah Abbot moved to Topsfield, Essex County, Massachusetts 3. George Abbott moved to Andover about 1655, married Sarah Farnum there on Apr. 26 1658 and died there on Mar 22, 1688/89 4. Thomas Abbot, Jr. where did he go? Salem Quarterly Court, June 1662: In court papers setting the estate of Joseph Jewett late of Rowley, Joseph Jewett's land was said to have met "on the northwest by the upland of Thomas Abbott." So at that date, June 1662, Thomas Abbott was still in Rowley. Who is the Thomas Abbott who married Sarah Steward in Andover on Dec 15, 1664 and died there on May 06, 1695? According to the above Salem Quarterly Court documents of Nov. 1676, the Thomas Abbott of Andover who took in Thomas Parker, the lunatic, was the brother of George Abbott. And 16 years later in 1692, George Abbot was dead, but his widow was still living in Andover remarried to Henry Ingalls; there were two Thomas Abbotts households in Andover, one was married to Sarah Steward and the other was 26 years old and living alone; John Osgood and Thomas Parker, the lunatic were still there. In 1664 when Thomas Abbott married Sarah Steward there were very few Thomas Abbotts in America. James Savage in his "A GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY of THE FIRST SETTLERS OF NEW ENGLAND" names 5. 1. Thomas Abbott of Rowley ( This was Thomas, Sr. son of George) 2. Thomas who married Sarah Steward 3. Thomas who was in Kittery, Maine in 1688 son of Richard 4.

No mention of an alternate marriage in the file. Mourning is suppse to be the sister (or some relation) to the Governor of Virginia, John Floyd.  I don't have my Stewart database in front of me, so this is a rough recall of Mourning's family. She isn't my direct line, so I haven't researched her. But if I remember correctly she is connected to the Floyd family. When I saw the pension I was concerned I had her in my database incorrectly.  Maybe a direct descendant will shed some light on this.   Anywho, while the pension was denied to Mourning, I did find her name on an index of pensioners. Perhaps there is an alternate pension that I just didn't find.    Angela       GENEALOGY: n.

My line that I am looking for starts with Herbert William Stewart Jr (1924-1971), I can trace it back to his father Herbert William Stewart Sr (Feb 1894-Feb 1965), his father was Barnette Clarance Stewart (Aug 1857-Nov 1933), his father was John Stewart (1828-1908) and then my line gets blurred and crossed at who John Stewarts parents were. I have listed as Archibald Stewart (1792-1851) as his father and Agnes Nancy Anderson (1800-1882) as his mother. I was messaged that my Archibald and Agnes Nancy are the wrong parents for John Stewart but they are the only ones that kept popping up for me and all the information matched perfectly.

(Ipswich Rec. at Salem, Mass., i : p. 233.)" It seems very strange that George Abbott would name two sons Thomas.I believe that this is what has lead to the confusion and mystery about Thomas Abbott, Jr.'s parentage.But the court records are very clear. I've also looked at the published work of two early Abbott genealogists to see what they say. An early Abbott genealogy book, " The Abbott Genealogy" published in 1847 and written by Rev, A. Abbott and Rev. E. Abbott lists just three sons for George Abbott of Rowley, Thomas, George and Nehemiah. They credit the Thomas Abbott who died childless in 1659 as the son of George Abbott of Rowley. They make no mention of the court records and no mention of the two Thomas'; Thomas, Sr. and Thomas, Jr. In a later chapter in the book they list Thomas Abbott married in Andover to Sarah Steward with unknown parentage. Then I looked at the two volume 1906 work: "Descendants of George Abbott, of Rowley, Mass., of his joint descendants with George Abbott, sr., of Andoer, Mass.; of the descendants of Daniel Abbott, of Providence, R. I.; of some of the descendants of Capt. Thomas Abbott, of Andover, Mass.; of George Abbott, of Norwalk Ct.; of Robert Abbott, of Branford Ct.; with brief notes of many others of the name, original settlers in the United States. By Major Lemuel Abijah Abbott ..1906" This author addressed the issue of George Abbott of Rowley having two sons named Thomas by stating "The supposition is that one or the other of the two children named Thomas in George Abbott's family was an adopted son....The elder was known as Thomas, Sr., and the younger as Thomas, Jr. The following from the Ipswich, Mass., court records indicates that the latter was not a son of George Abbott." AND the author then cites the following two court records as proof that Thomas, Jr.was not a son of George Abbott : "Court held at Ipswich, 30 : 1 : 1647. Warrant for George Abott, Thomas Abbott, sr., Thomas Abbot, jr. and Nehemiah Abbot, about putting out one of the sons of George Abbot by the town of Rowley." Court held at Ipswich, March 1647. Town of Rowley allowed to put forth Thomas Abott, jr., son of Georg Abott of Rowley, to be an apprentice to John Boynton (also Boyton) for seven years. Boynton to pay him 51i. at the end of his time. Case to be referred to next court, in order that the boy's father have opportunity to object." The author's argument that this is proof that Thomas, Jr.is not a son of George Abbott is that only Thomas, Jr. was apprenticed out and not the other brothers!!!!!!! The author goes on to state: "The will of Thomas Abbott, Sr....and other legal papers in the settlement of his estate are of special interest. They show that the pioneers in this branch of the Abbott family used two t's in spelling the name; they also show who Thomas Abbott's wife was, and that his father had a fourth son (prob. an adopted or step-son) also named Thomas. In order to distinguish them, these two sons were known as Thomas, Sr., and Thomas, Jr., one of whom is the subject of this sketch; the other was at Concord, Mass.,in Dec, 1659, and afterwards settled in Andover, Mass., where Dec. 15, 1664, he m. Sarah Steward of that town." I believe that we can stop looking for Thomas Abbott's father in the US and start looking for the birth records of the children of George Abbott of Rowley in England.

Devereux was sued on two counts by William Keene of Marblehead at the January Term 1641/2 regarding the mackerel to be divided between Devereux and Edward Clark [ EQC 1:31]. At the March Term, 1651, John Devereux sued Mr. Valentine Hill for expenses amounting to more than £178 incurred on a fishing voyage to Munhegan in Maine [ EQC 1:214]. A long and difficult case, the depositions of many men were entered in the file, providing a rich and varied description of fishing practices in this early period, from paying for the bread Goody Knight baked for the fishermen to the meeting at Mr. Hill's house in Boston where Hill "importuned him [Devereux] to go to Munhigon with his men" [ EQC 1:214-17; 221; 232; 325; 2:338]. The case was appealed to the Court of Assistants [ EQC 1:233].

Major William Hathorn left a fish rack in the hands of John Devereux in the fall of 1666 [ EQC 3:378].

Selectman of Marblehead in 1667, 1668, 1671 [ EQC 4:251; 276, 378]. Sworn constable of Marblehead, November 1657 [ EQC 2:59]. ESTATE: He was granted half an acre for a Salem houselot 8 November 1637 [ STR 1:59] and received ten acres there [ STR 1:25], but was rated as an inhabitant at Marblehead that same year [ STR 1:63]. He was granted half an acre of marsh on 25 December 1637, with a household of two [ STR 1:102]. On 1 July 1659 John Devereux of Marblehead, "fisherman," purchased from Charles Gott of Wenham, attorney for Mr. Hugh Peters, sometime pastor of the church at Salem, three hundred and fifty acres of neck or meadow in Marblehead [ ELR 1:63]. He was stinted two cows in his access to the commons, 10 April 1671 [ EQC 5:279]. On 22 July 1678, John "Deverix of Marblehead Senr. with the free consent of Ann his wife" sold to Vinson Stilson Jr. a quarter acre in Marblehead [ ELR 6:10]. On 5 November 1692, John and Ann Devereux sold one and a quarter acre of land and "rock" in Marblehead to John Waldron Sr. of Marblehead, anchorsmith [ ELR 9:105]. John had one-eighth part of a windmill at Marblehead that was in controversy at the June Term, 1680 [ EQC 7:384-5] In his will, dated 4 September 1693 and proved 20 May 1695, John Devereux of Marblehead, yeoman, bequeathed to son Robert Devereux 300 acres with my now dwelling house and barn; to "my son Robert's son Joseph" when he is 21 twenty acres out of my son Robert's land lying next to Marblehead common, entailed; to the "three sons of my son Humphry Deverix deceased," John, Humphrey and Ralph Devereux, one-third part of my land when they are 21, entailed; Elizabeth Devereux "mother of these three sons Jhon Humphry and Ralph" shall have nothing to do with the house or land or ever live on them at any time; to "my son Humphry's two daughters Elizabeth and Ann," £5 each; to "my son John deceased his three daughters Sarah, Susanah and Ann" £40 or 12 acres each when they are of age; to "my daughter Hannah Swett" £20 to her and her children that "she had by Knott"; to "my daughter Ann Nichols" and her children £20; to "my grandchild John Boason the house his mother now lives in", with ap! purtenances, his mother to hold it during her life, entailed; to "my daughter Bethia Bartlet" and her children £20 and the land her house stands on, entailed; to "my daughter Em Peach" and her children £60 or 20 acres of land; to my "dear and loving wife Ann Devereux," executrix with life estate in lands and household goods at her dispose; land in Dunstable to be sold to pay debts [ EPR Case #7614]. The inventory of "John Deverix Senr." of Marblehead was brought to court 25 March 1712 and consisted of only "a thirty acre grant" valued at £25 [ EPR 310:419-20]. A just claim by Elizabeth Barker of Deptford, England, daughter of Rev. Hugh Peters of Salem, prevented the passing of most of the estate as expressed in John's will, and his "only surviving son Robert" attempted to settle things as best he could as administrator cum testamento annexo [ EPR Case #7614]. In the light of Barker's successful claim, Robert Devereux called together his brothers-in-law, sisters and their heirs to consider what was to be done to support their mother "in her old age." In March 1703/4 at the Marblehead house of Dr. Jackson, Robert Devereux met with "Joseph and Hannah Swett his wife, Anne Nichols, Bethia Bartlet, the said Hanah, Anna & Bethiah being three of the daughters of John Devouraux of Marblehead deceased, William Peach who married with Emm Devouraux one of the daughters as aforesaid and Joseph Abbet who married with Sarah Devouraux, granddaughter to said John Devouraux deceased," and discussed the tragedy of their loss [ ELR 18:174]. BIRTH: Between 1614 and 1621 (deposed aged fifty years March 1669 [ EQC 4:114]; but still aged fifty years November 1670 [ EQC 4:313]; aged about fifty-five years November 1672 [ EQC 5:110]; aged about sixty years 29 March 1675 [ EQC 6:19]; aged about sixty-four years probably in June 1679 [undated, EQC 7:200]; aged about sixty on 19 September 1681 [ EQC 8:180]; aged about seventy years June 1684 [ EQC 9:241]). DEATH: Marblehead between 24 December 1694 (deposition [ ELR 11:131]) and 20 May 1695 (probate of will). MARRIAGE: Almost certainly by 1645, and certainly by 3 September 1657 [ EQC 2:74], Ann _____; born about 1621 (deposed aged about forty-three for June 1664 court [ EQC 3:158]; deposed aged forty-six in June 1667 [ EQC 3:414]; aged fifty-four on 29 March 1675 [ EQC 6:19]; aged about sixty years June, 1684 [ EQC 9:241]); died on or shortly after 26 April 1708 (she is described as "not being dead above three months" on 26 July 1708 [ EPR Case #7614]). (Mary Walton Ferris collected nine different clues that indicate that Ann was closely related, perhaps sister, to Margaret, wife of John Bennett [ Dawes-Gates 2:293-94].) CHILDREN: i HANNAH, b. say 1645; m. (1) Peter Greenfield (his probate 29 November 1672 administratrix widow Hannah [ EPR Case #11718]); m. (2) Richard Knott (administration on Knott's estate granted to widow Hannah and her father, Mr. John Devereux, December Term, 1683 [ EQC 9:151]); m. (3) after December 1683 Joseph Swett [ EQC 9:151]. ii ANN, b. about 1647 (deposed about age 20 years, June Term, 1667 [ EQC 3:414]); m. (1) by June 1668 Walter Boston (fornication charges were brought against the couple [ EQC 4:40]); m. (2) between November 1674 (when she was Boston's widow) and June 1683 Robert Nichols [ EQC 9:84]. iii BETHIAH, b. about 1650 (deposed 29 March 1680 aged about thirty years [ EQC 7:335]); m. by March 1680 John Bartlett [ EQC 7:335]. iv JOHN, b. about 1653 (deposed aged about thirty years June 1683 [ EQC 9:52]); he is described in a petition to retail liquor as "born in the town of Marblehead" [ EQC 48:15]; m. as her first husband Susanna Hartshorn, daughter of Thomas Hartshorn [evidence not seen, but so stated in Dawes-Gates 2:295, NEHGR 74:120]. v ROBERT, b. say 1652; m. Hannah Blaney, daughter of John Blaney [evidence not seen, but so stated in Dawes-Gates 2:295, NEHGR 74:118 , Essex Ant 9:32]. vi HUMPHREY, b. about 1655 (deposed aged about 18 at November Term, 1673 [ EQC 5:247], about age 19 at March Term, 1675 [ EQC 6:19], and aged about 24 on 10 April 1682 [ EQC 8:357]); m. by June 1681 Elizabeth _____ (when midwife Wibrow Gatchell deposed that Elizabeth was struck by a cow while milking which brought on the early birth of her child and fornication charges were dropped against the couple [ EQC 8:145]), named in Humphrey's will [ EQC 49:41] and much disliked by her father-in-law, as demonstrated in his will). vii EMME, b. about 1657 (d. Marblehead June 1737, aged 80); m. William Peach. ASSOCIATIONS: In depositions at the March Term, 1675, John and Ann described lodging Christopher Codner and his master, Joseph Emmons, cordwainer, at their house [ EQC 6:19]. They were well enough acquainted that Ann could depose at the June Term, 1679, that Christopher was "twenty-one years old the latter end of September last past" [ EQC 7:225]. Her knowledge of Christopher's age probably came from the fact that John Devereux and Christopher Lattimore were feoffees in trust for Christopher and Joane, children of the late Christopher Codner of Marblehead [ ELR 2:31]. Young Christopher acknowledged that he had received full possession of his house and land in Marblehead from John "Deverix Sr." and Richard Knott, at his majority 15 August 1679 [ ELR 6:127]. The Devereuxs were well acquainted with John Bennett, and testified in June 1684 that "Bennett built the house and lived in it and died there and was buried from there. Mary, mother of Jone Boobeer, had enjoyed the house twenty-seven years. Also that Jone, wife of Joseph Boobeer is the reputed daughter of Christopher Codner which he had by Mary, daughter of John Bennett" [ EQC 9:241]. John and Ann deposed that Mary, wife of Christopher Codner, lived many years with Richard Downing as his wife and had many children by him...[ EQC 9:265, June Term, 1685]. COMMENTS: John Devereux "undertook to pay" the fines of Marmaduke Barton and Robert Allen who, at that same term of court, were convicted of receiving stolen silver and sentenced to be whipped on lecture day and Allen was ordered to serve his master, Mr. Williams, for an extra month. The connection that the two young offenders had to John Devereux is not immediately apparent [ EQC 1:35]. Throughout his life, John Devereux was in and out of court regarding suits for debts related to his business [ EQC 1:42, 45, 320, 348, 409, 2:306, 4:414, 7:419]. In the estate inventories of many of his customers and suppliers, he appeared with debts or credits [ EQC 1:106-7, 5:211, 6:308]. He was a debtor to the estate of George Pollard in September 1646 and the estate was, in turn, indebted to him for "diet for two years and a quarter," £17 12s. [ EQC 1:106; 107]. At November Term 1655 John sued Samuel Yew "For killing his cow by the falling of a tree in the commons" [ EQC 1:409]. Capt. James Smith had a writ served on John Devereux for slander, 29 September 1670 [ EQC 4:324]. Devereux took the stand in many cases over the years, often giving his age. John Devereux and Sarah Allen were witnesses when John Peach Sr. was fined 20s. for "giving Trustrum Dolliver opprobrious provoking words urging to a breach of the peace" [ EQC 1:49]. At July Term, 1645, John was a witness in the case against his neighbors Walter Price, William Browne and Samuel Archer for selling wine without a license [ EQC 1:83]. He was again a witness at the February Term, 1645/6, when John Bartall was charged with working on the Sabbath [ EQC 1:93]. John, aged fifty, deposed regarding the will of Susannah Pitts of Marblehead, November Term, 1670 [ EQC 4:313]. John Devereux testified to the death of Mary Downing "last winter" at the June Term, 1684 [ EQC 9:241]. He appraised the estates of several of his neighbors [ EQC 2:259, 5:56] and once served as an administrator [ EQC 3:136]. John was appointed and discharged as one of two feofees in trust for the Codner children [ EQC 3:29! 5, November Term, 1665]. Devereux contributed to the effort to build the new prison at Salem in late 1669 and was paid £4 5s. for felling 17 trees and dragging them to the water's edge [ EQC 4:213]. In March 1669 John, aged fifty years, deposed that he was asked to witness an offer of bedding by Richard Rowland to Mr. Moses Maverick in April 1667, and that Maverick refused it [ EQC 4:114]. Despite his good works, he was a boisterous and sometimes violent neighbor. At the December Term, 1643, Devereux was fined a modest 40s. for striking Henry Stacy "in his own house" [ EQC 1:58]. John Devereux and nine other men, including the contentious William Keene, were fined for drinking wine, "etc." at the January Term, 1644/5 [ EQC 1:77]. John Devereux was sued for debt by Thomas Gray of Marblehead over merchantable and refuse fish at the July Term, 1647 [ EQC 1:116]. The resolution of the case must not have been acceptable, for at the March Term, 1647/8, John Devereux of Marblehead was fined for fighting with Thomas Gray, "Also for breaking his face," as described by the witnesses, "Walsingum" Chilson and John Spark [ EQC 1:135]. At the November Term, 1651, John sued Peter Pitford of Marblehead for defamation, claiming that Pitford often threatened him "whereby he went in fear of him" [ EQC 1:243]. Perhaps he had reason to worry, for Pitford lived contentiously and wa! s presented for striking Joseph Rogers "several blows with his fist" some years later [ EQC 1:324]. John Devereux's wife Ann was a good match in many ways. At the July Term, 1644, we presume it was Ann Devereux who was called "Goody," indicating her husband's modest social standing. In this case, both John and Ann deposed regarding Alice Peach, wife of John Peach, Jr., defaming John Bartoll and his wife Alice, and Ann called John Peach a "wittall" [ EQC 1:62]. She witnessed the 3 September 1657 agreement between Mr. William Paine of Ipswich, merchant, and William Beale of Marblehead, miller. When the arrangement went sour, "Anne Devorex" was called to depose about it at the June Term, 1658 [ EQC 2:74]. Ann, aged about forty-three years, deposed that she weighed the pork for Andrew Rowland [ EQC 3:158, June Term, 1664]. Trespassing through the Downings' lot on their way to John Devereux's house, William Beale's wife, Frances Gilligan and Mary Parnel came to blows with Margaret Bennet over using the land as a highway. Devereux's servant, Robert Newman, aged about 17, deposed in this case and Bethiah and Ann Devereux witnessed Margaret Bennett's letter of attorney [ EQC 3:414; 443]. Devereux had many servants over the years, but not all stayed out of the courts. Devereux "his man Thomas" was a witness in the December 1642 case against William Keene, Devereux's old nemesis, but the charges were dropped since the house that was "suffering disorder" was not Keene's [ EQC 1:48]. John Slade and John Ford deposed as workers for Mr. Devereux's farm [ EQC 4:285, September Term, 1670]. Devereux servants John Hobbs and "one Francis" stole turkeys from Richard Downing in 1683 [ EQC 9:146]. Sons John and Humphrey were not above reproach, and were sentenced to be fined or whipped for being part of a group of boys that met at night and committed petty theft [ EQC 4:274 June Term, 1670]. In another extensive case, Christopher Nicholson is charged with pulling down the fence that John Devereux had erected near some rocks by the water. With the fence gone, a great deal of petty thievery went on, and some of Devereux's servants and hired hands were obliged to watch constantly, much to their inconvenience. While John was gone, Ann went to the selectmen for permission to erect another fence. This almost accomplished by servant Robert Paty, Christopher Nicholson came and pulled it down again. The outcome of this June Term 1662 case was in Devereux's favor [ EQC 2:407-9, 431]. John prevailed in a suit against Mr. Moses Maverick, John Peach, Sr. and Jr., and Richard Rowland for failing to set up a fence as agreed, but it was repeatedly appealed and he ultimately lost. This troublesome boundary cost him a lost horse and a bull mired and killed, as well as his corn threatened by animals so that he had to keep watch even at night [ EQC 4:190, 251, 285, 289]. John's tro! uble with fences lasted for decades [ EQC 7:5-6, June Term, 1678; EQC 7:324, November Term, 1679]. John sued John Codner "for removing a landmark" and won in the May Term, 1670 [ EQC 4:251]. At the June Term, 1679, John Devereux Sr., aged about sixty-four years, testified that about thirty-four years ago he cut hay in Kittell Cove marsh and was forbidden by Rev. Blinman of Cape Ann, but they afterwards agreed [ EQC 7:201]. John Devereux, aged about sixty years, deposed that having been many years inhabitant of Marblehead, and still resident there, and having no interest in the property then under controversy, that the land had been owned by Marblehead men for the past thirty-four years [ EQC 8:180]. "The Testimony of John Devereux of Marblehead aged about eighty years, testifieth & saith that about the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred & thirty I came over from old England to New England & the place of my abode and residence has been at Salem & Marblehead ever since & when I came hither here was an old Squaw called old Squaw Sachem, the Squaw of the deceased sachem which had three reputed sons, viz: John, James and George, who were the reputed sachems & owners of all the lands in these parts as Salem, Marblehead, Lynn and as far as Mystic & in those days the land where Salem town now stands & the lands adjacent were called Nahumkege by the Indians & English then inhabiting in these parts," 24 December 1694 [ ELR 11:131].
