I. WILLIAM MARSTON, Captain, born about 15 -, the ancestor of all the Hampton Marstons, was married and had several children be- fore his emigration. He came to Hampton soon after the settlement was commenced. Land was granted to him as early as June 30, 1640, and it is probable that a house-lot had been assigned to him earlier. He lived near the present site of the town-house (now owned by Frank Green). There are reasons for believing that he had a wife living in 1651 and that she died not many years afterward. He died June 30, 1672, leaving a widow named Sabina, who was the executrix of his will. She had borne him one child, but it is evident that his other children were by a former marriage. His widow married, second, John Redman (1). Children :
