If this were correct it would make 1656 his natal year; an undoubted error, for his parents were not married until 1662. It is quite probable that the age as given on the tombstone had been incorrectly cut, or transcribed), died in Salem February 24, 1729. He married Hannah Holmes, daughter of John and Hannah (Thatcher) Holmes of Salem. She was born June 25, 1667, and died in Salem, Dec. 29, 169?? He married (2d) February 27, 1695-6, Jemima (Bonfield) Lucke?? widow of Oliver Luckes of Marblehead, and daughter of George and Rebecca (Bradstreet) Bonfield. She was baptized (with three others), Sept. 21; 1684, in the First Church of Marblehead and died in 1748, and administration on her estate was granted to her son, Bonfield Felt, August 8th of that year. The estate inventoried �406:1:10. In his account, the administrator charge?? "board of the deceased from Aug. 30, 1744, to Dec. 30, 1747, a?? �60. �166:14:0. From then to February 28, 1748 (probably the date of her death), she being sick, at 40 shillings, per week, 1?? pounds, old tenor." George Felt remained at Casco Bay until about 1690, when with his brothers he returned to Salem. He was a block-maker by trade. July 4, 1693, he purchased in Salem (Essex Deeds, 9:157) "A Certain Small tract or pcell of Land lying and being situate in the Town o?? Salem aforesd be the same more or be it less, as it is, & Lye?? Butted and bounded viz: Easterly by the highway leading to the river, Southerly by Land of Maj. Wm. Browne, Westerly by Land of Jno. Cromwell & Northerly by Land of David Phippen." This was conveyed to him by "Elias Stileman of the great Island in Portsmouth in the Province of New Hampshire in New England, Gent, For & in consideration of a Valuable Sum of fourteen pounds Ten Shillings, Lawfull money of New England." On this property he resided. His interest as a proprietor at Casco Bay did not cease by his return to Salem, and in addition to to the property received from his grandfather, and held by him there, we find him in 1714, March 30th, the purchaser from Benjamin Snelling of Boston of a parcel of land at Mussel Cove, Falmouth, "Within the late Province of Main." of 113 acres, "with all Bridges, ways, springs, Rivers & Commodities whatsoever to ye said tract or parcell of Land." (Essex Deeds, 32:138) George Felt had a saw-mill on Mussel Cove Stream, which was operated by his son John, who seems to have lived in Falmouth and looked after his father's interests there. March 20th, 1727, George and his Uncle Moses Felt, quitclaimed to the Proprietor's Committee of North Yarmouth, the 200 acres of land deeded them in 1684 by George Felt senior, as it was required in the re-distribution of lands at the re-settlement of the town at this time, and in place of his portion thus released George Felt received a house-lot of ten acres numbered 56 in the plat with all the rights thereto belonging. (North Yarmouth Proprietor's Record, page 53) March 28, 1728, George and his Uncle Moses offered to build a mill upon Felt's stream, which flowed through Lot No. 52 of the new plat, in consideration of a deed of this lot from the Committee, but this offer was declined. (See foot note, page 35.) George Felt died in Salem and was interred in the Charter Street burial ground. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow and son Bonfield, March 23, 1729. (Essex Probate, 318:41) The inventory included a house and a quarter of an acre of land, and amounted to the sum of �730:6:1. The property at Casco Bay does not appear. The estate was divided, one-third to the widow, two shares to Bonfield Felt, as the eldest son, and one share each to Benjamin, Mary, and Jemima, the other surviving children.
