By the list of 1637, before mentioned, giving the names of householders and the number of heads in their families, it appears that Richard Waters had five (5) in his family at that time ; probably himself, his wife and three children.
In 1638 mention is made of his "howse," which stood, perhaps, not far from the upper end of Broad street.
16th July 1676 " being ancient " Richard Waters wrote his will, which was sworn to by the witnesses in court at Salem 28 d., 9 mo '77. He appoints his wife, Joyce, sole executrix, and bequeaths to her all his property during her life or widowhood, and after that, what remains, " to my sonn, William, to be secured in the hands of my sonne Ezekiel, for to maintain his brother William during his natural life, in case my sonne Ezekiel be not willing to keep him if my sonn John undertake it then he shall have Wil- liams estate during his natural life and at Williams death to be disposed of as followeth :"
Then follow bequests to sons James, John and Ezekiel, and to daughter Martha, of 10s each, provided there be left forty pounds clear estate at William's death, and the bulk of the property to go to daughters, Abigail Punchard, Mary English, Susanna Pulsifer and Hannah Striker, " whoe neither of them have had any part or portion of estate already, as my forementioned children have had."

Nathaniel (son of John and Sara) Waters, born in Salem, sixth day, twelfth month, 1671; married Elizabeth (daugh- ter of John and Elizabeth) King, twelfth December 1699. (Record of deeds for Suffolk county, book thirty, leaf one hundred and seventeen.)
Fourteenth February 1715, Nathaniel Waters of Salem, buys of William King and Benjamin Marsh, both of Salem, one-tenth of the township of Sutton, deemed to contain about thirty thousand acres, of which one-tenth equals about three thousand acres, etc. Administration granted on estate of Nathaniel Waters, fisherman, fifth March 1718, to his widow, Elizabeth Waters, whose sureties were Samuel King and John Waters -spoken of as all of Marblehead. Inven- tory presented seventeenth July 1718; among other items, two cows loosed in hired land in royal dide land at Sutton.
From a deed recorded in Essex county (book seventy- three, leaf seventy-six), it appears that Nathaniel Waters, late of Salem, had a daughter, Hannah, who died without issue, making only a verbal will, by which she gave all her estate to her brother Jonathan. So all the other heirs unite, eighth May 1736, in a deed to confirm title to said Jonathan, viz. : Elizabeth Waters, widow ; Nathaniel Waters, mariner ; Isaac Cook, cordwainer, and his wife Elizabeth ; Mehitable Waters, spinster ; all of Salem; and Benjamin Marsh, jr., of Sutton, and his wife Ruth.

Jonathan Waters, son of Nathaniel, one of the proprietors of Sutton township, came from Salem and settled in the north parish, now West Millbury.
