Winthrop, but it is not known whether his family accompanied him or not.  His age was about twenty-one, and his name is No., 19 on the list of church members of the First Church of Charlestown, at its organization, July 30, 1630.  On May 14, 1634, he was made a freeman.  In his will, which bears the date of July 15, 1694, he mentions eight sons, although his sons are believed to have numbered twelve.  This will was probated Aug. 29, 1696, his death having occurred July 23d of that yer, and he was buried on his own farm.  He married Bethia Farmer, or Pease.  His known children bore the following names: Samuel, John, Shebar (by his first marriage), Joseph, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Gershom, William, benjamin and Elisha (by his second marriage).  John Hall was known as a very prominent man in Yarmouth, Mass., and served the town as selectman a number of years.  His sons all took a leading part in the town's affairs."
