Note on Husband: John * FOSS
It is said by tradition that John Jumped ship along the Boston,
Suffolk, Mass. Coast, from a British war vessel on which he was
employed as a caulker. While the vessel was lying in Boston harbour
he deserted by jumping overboard and swimming ashore, escaping
further service. He thought of settling at a place called 'Reid's
Temple' but not being satisfied with the place, he went to
Portsmouth, Rockingham, N.H. Records in Portsmouth show that he
took title to land there on Feb 24, 1657. He was then only 19 yrs
old. Submitted by Larry, a Decendant as are many of us, Thank you
