3. John, although not expressly called so, was, we have no doubt, bro. of George and Michael, and resided in Camb., where he died in 1657, the Inv. of his Est. being entered the 20 d. 12 mo. 1657,3 and consisting chiefly of farming utensils. In this Inv., mention is made of a widow, who appeared before the governor, Feb. 25, 1657-8 and testified to that being a true Inv. of the Est. of her husb. &c As no will exists, we find no ch. named ; but if he be the one alluded to in the will of Michael, above, he had 3 sons, Michael, John, and Jeremiah ;- and if this Michael be the one who testified in the case of a complaint vs. Susanna Woodward et. al. 1671, 3, 6,4 where he is called Michael, jr., and said to be ae. ab. 17, he was b. ab. 1654. We find that John, the father, instituted a suit vs.

Ann Hibbins, Relict and Exec. of Wm.Hibbins, desc'd., in 1656, 3, 29,1 which was but about a year before his decease. The name of his wid. we have not learned. Michael, the son, m. Rebecca Thaire or Thayer, Jan. 12, 1676, and d. Dec. 2, 1698, leaving an only da. Hannah .? He owned " a homestall containing 6 acres of upland and meadow, with a mantion house, and barn, orchards, and cyder mill, &c."
The history of the other sons,-John and Jeremiah, -- is involved in a little obscurity. There was a John Barstow in Scit. in 1678, who is called by Deane a son of Wm., formerly of Dedham, and who, he says, was prob. b. in Dedham. There was also a Jeremiah in Scit., who was " killed by the Indians in 1676," and whose wid. Lydia m. Richard Standlake, 1677. This Jeremiah is also called by Deane a son of Wm. of Dedham. But as there is no actual record of the birth of such sons to Wm., we think there is room to doubt the correctness of Deane's suggestion. It is certain that John of Camb., had sons Jno. and Jere., but not certain that Wm. had such. We think it most probable, therefore, that John and Jeremiah settled in Scituate, and were sons of John, who d. at Camb., and not of Wm. of Dedham.
Of their history, and descendants, we shall speak hereafter.
4. William, the fourth bro., was in Dedham in 1636, and signed the Pet'n. for the incorp'n. of that town under the name of Content- ment.ª The 16 d. 12 mo. 1642, grants of " upland ground fit for improvement with the plough," were made to him, and to his bro. George. He was a freem. in Scit. 1649, and the first settler, of whom we have record, on the present territory of H. He was prob. m. to his w. Anne, after he came to N. Eng., but we have found no record of this marriage, and cannot, therefore, give her maiden name in full. Mr. B. was a noted man in his day, as will be seen from what we have already said of him. IIe was also an extensive landholder, a man of high respectability, and a worthy and enterprising citizen. He d. in Scit. in 1668, ac. 56, leaving no will, and his wid. Anne, admin. on his Est.4 In the will

of Michael, his bro., mention is made of "8 ch. of his bro. Wm." We have succeeded in learning the names and dates of birth of but 5 of these. There secm to have been but 2 sons; the rest were probably daughters. Their names were, 1. Joseph, b. in Dedham, 6 d. 4 mo., 1639. 2. Patience, b. in Dedham, 3 d. 10 mo., 1643, m. Moses Simmons, of Scit., 1662. 3. Deborah b. in Scit. in Aug. 1650. 4. Wm. b. in Scit., in Sep. 1652. 5. Martha b. in Scit., 1655, m. Sam'l., eldest son of Sam'l. Prince, 1674, who d. bef. 1686. (N. E. Gen. Reg. 1851 p. 379.)

5. John, s. John 3, is prob. the one who was a householder in . Scit. in 1678. According to Deane, " a consid. tract of land was laid out to him W. of the So. Meeting-house common, extending to Jordan Lane. His house was 50 rods south of the present road, and was afterwards the house of John Ruggles," &c. He m. Lydia Hatch, Jan. 16, 1678, da. of Wm.

Lydia was appointed guardian, " to demand and recover a legacy given unto each of them by their great uncle, Michael Barstow, late of Watn. decsd., as by his will." 1 Lett's. of Adm. were granted to John, I ro. of " Jeremiah, deceased, so he keep a faire accompt thereof, and be reddy to shew it before said Court, when by them required." ? According to Deane, Jeremialı, the youngest of these sons, was a captive, for a time, amongst the Indians.3 We have no knowledge of the sub- sequent history of this family. 1

That he was an extensive landholder, is evident from the large grants made to him by the Col. Court, which embraced many hundred acres,1 now lying chiefly in Abington. These grants were in the vicinity of the grants made to Cornet Stetson, with whom Mr. B. seems to have been on terms of intimate friendship, and whose will he witnessed. ch. : 1.
