9. WILLIAM. I have been able to learn nothing concerning the father of the first of the name in Duxbury, except from vague tradition, which says he bore this name- William, and that he came to Boston from Devonshire, Eng., and soon after m. a second wife, Betsy Smith, and that his chd. were Samuel (10), who went to Duxbury, and who was by his first wife, and William, who was a jeweller, and remained in Bos- ton, where he d. without children ; and Peter, who was never married, but went to the West Indies, where he died.
