HOLDEN.
Gershom Swan 20 Dec. 1677; Elizabeth ; Thomas ; John, 22 years old in 1679, as stated in a deposition, all living and named in a conveyance of real estate, 25 July 1679, but perhaps not arranged here in the order of their birth. RICHARD the f. res. at different times at Wat., Woburn, Camb., Groton, again at Wat., and finally at Groton with his son Stephen, to whom, in consideration of his future maintenance, he conveyed liis estate 23 Mar. 1691, being then aged, infirm, and a widower. (Mid. Deeds, xii. 31.) He d. 1 Mar. 1696; his w. Martha d. in Wat. 6 Dec. 1681.
2. JUSTINIAN, came to New England 1634 with Richard (1), to whom he was probably brotlier. About 1649 he bought land in Wat., the conveyance, 9 Nov. 1660, reciting that the purchase was made " about eleven years ago; " and in 1653 he bought of Nathaniel Sparhawk's Executors 289 aeres bounded S. on Fresh Pond and E. on Alewife River, and 5 acres bounded S. on Fresh Pond and W. on Alewife River. In a deposition 1679 he styles himself about 66 years old. Elizabeth, prob. his 1st w., d. 18 Mar. 1672-3; he m. Mary. dau. of John Rutter of Sudbury, and had Samuel, b. 28 Ap. 1674; John, b. 18 July 1675 ; Isaac, b. 28 May 1677; Mary, b. 21 Mar. 1678-9 ; Grace, b. 13 Aug. 1681 ; Joseph, b. 6 Sept. 1683 ; Elizabeth, b. 6 May 1686. JUSTINIAN the f. was a carpenter, and d. between 12 Aug. and 6 Oct. 1691; his w. Mary was living 12 Nov. 1716. It appears unlikely, at first sight, that a man should raise up a large family after attaining the age of sixty years. But the pur- chases of land were made 1649 and 1653, before any son of Richard or Justin- ian was of age; and it is certain that the same land was bequeathed by Justin- ian to his children in 1691. It is probable that Justinian, Sen., had no children by his first wife, and that after her death he m. a second w. much younger than himself.
3. STEPHEN, S. of Richard (1), settled in Groton, where he d. about 1715. (Inv. 18 Nov. 1715.) His estate was divided 19 Mar. 1718-19, to wid. Han- nah, and chil. John, Stephen, Nathaniel, William, Simon, Jonathan, Benjamin, Rachel, Hannah, and Sarah. His widow's dower was divided to the same children, 30 Jan. 1737.
4. JUSTINIAN, S. of Richard (1), was a carpenter, residing here with w. Susanna, to whom and to his son Thomas Durren he gave power to sell land in Woburn, 14 Dec. 1696. He had by w. Mary, in Groton, Mary, b. 20 May 1680, and by w. Susanna, in Billerica, Susanna, b. 16 Oct. 1694.
5. SAMUEL, s. of Richard (1), by w. Anna, had in Groton, Anna, b. 1 Mar. 1682.
