New England Weekly Journal. Oct. 13. 1729, gives this account : "We have received the following melancholy relation from Billerica. That on the Lord's day, the 5th instant, a house was burnt there, wherein were two small children. who were both consumed in the flames. It seems the heads of the family were gone to the publick worship, and left at home, three children, the eldest, a girl of about twelve years old, who had the care of the others; but she, going a little ways from the house, to drive some swine that had got into the corn; in the mean time, the house took fire and burnt so vehemently, that when she came to it, she could not get into it, or do anything to save the other poor children."

LANE, Job, was prob. from Riekmansworth, in Hertfordshire, where lands which he inherited were located, (N. E. H. and G. Reg., Vol. XVII, p. 266,) and in 1654, was 30 years old. That he was the Job. Lane at Rehoboth, 1644. is not prob. He was a carpenter, and made payment for the . Winthrop farm,' of 1500 acres, which he purchased in 1664. Aug. 2, for £230, by building a house in New London, Conn., for Fitz John Winthrop. He also built the great bridge in 1668. He owned a considerable estate in England, the rents of which he received during life, bequeathing the property to his son, John. He lived, first, in Malden, removing to Billerica probably in 1664, and after about 20 years residence, he returned to Malden, where he d. 1697. Aug. 23. His house was the only one beyond Ralph Hill's, towards Concord, until after 1675, when on account of his remote situation, he was permitted to garrison his own house. The place is probably that now occupied by Hiram Dutton. on the east side of the road, a few rods north from Huckin's street, and it is not impossible that the ancient house of Mr. Dutton is the same which he built. He bought, in Malden, the Coytmore Mill of Mrs. John Coggan. and bequeathed it to his son-in-law. Edward Sprague. Mrs. Coggan's first husband was Thomas Coytmore, and her second husband, Gov. John Winthrop, on whose account this lady had received the grant of 3000 acres at Wamesit. His first wife was Sarah , who d. 1659, about May 19. He m. 1660, Sept., Anna, dau. of Rev.
