He received his degree at Harvard 1720 and was ordained in Scituate December 3, 1724. In 1725, he married Abigail, the daughter of the Rev. Roland Cotton of Sandwich. Their children were Elizabeth, Abigail, Desire, Bathsheba, Shearjashub. In 1738, Mr. Bourn married Sarah Brooks of Medford. By her he had one son, Shearjashub. His second wife deceased in 1742*. He married Deborah, the daughter of Mr. Samuel Barker, in 1750, by whom he had one son, Roland. He married again 1757, Joanna Stevens of Roxbury. His health had become impaired in 1735, by paralytic affections. through life he had been struggling against the infirmities of an unfortunately feeble constitution, and depressed and melancholy spirits, by which his usefulness was in some measure impaired. Especially after 1755, he proceeded in his labours with such painful efforts, that he was soon induced altogether to withdraw from his publick services. Accordingly he tendered his resignation and was dismissed August 6, 1761. He retired to Roxbury, the native place of his wife, where he deceased August 14, 1768, aged sixty-eight. The Society testified their great regard for Mr. Bourn and their regret at foregoing his very acceptable services, and generously voted to give him �100 and the use of the parsonage for a year and an half.
