(Boston record) [ref 71:69]; John of Josias Belcher 3 day 2 mo 1664. (Boston 1st Ch) [ref 71:94] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - John3, Belcher (Josiah2, Gregory1), born in Boston, Dec. 23, 1659, was baptized in the First Church, April 3, 1664, and admitted to the Old South Church, Apr. 30, 1680. By occupation he was a ship carpenter. In 1690 he was in the military service and stationed at Kittery, Me., and was dismissed and sent home on Nov. 9 of that year (ME Hist. Coll. 2:5:160). He resided in Boston until about 1693, when he went to Kittery, Me., and entered the employ of the Frost family, who were extensive shipbuilders, where he continued until his death in 1730. His will, dated Feb. 17, 1729-30, calls himself "John Belcher, joiner, of Kittery, eldest son of Josiah Belcher of Boston," and states he has lived with the Frosts for near about forty years and none of his relatives have assisted him, and therefore he leaves all his property to Charles Frost (York wills 4:130; Suffolk co deeds 47:90). Presumably it was this John Belcher who married Theodora ___, in 1688 and had two children baptized in the Old South Church in Boston. He evidently deserted his family when he went to Maine in 1693, as his wife Theodora remained in Boston and married second, Dec. 9, 1698, Simon Lee, married third, Nov. 20, 1700, William Darnton, and married fourth, Sept. 13, 1709, Francis Pomeroy. Children of John and Theodora: John, Mary.
