General Notes (Wife)
. Sarah Johnson (John1). Born England abt 1627.
It is believed that either Sarah or Hannah married Hugh Burt, and Sarah is the stronger candidate. If so, she married him first, then William Bartram.
She married William Bartram, in Lynn, Mass. Died Swanzey, Mass.
They resided at Lynn, Mass., where he was Constable. Later they removed to Swanzey (Swansea), Mass.
Sources: Savage -- Vol. III, p. 168.
History of Woodstock -- Vol. VII, by Bowen, pp. 148-149.
Sarah was called "about 3 years old when her father joined the church", which could not have been before 1630, when she was more than 3.
Settled in Lynn and Swansey. There are many difficulties with this identification (according to The Ancestry of Emily Jane Ancell). Sarah is never the right age in any of the depositions by or about her. The age of her father's joining the church in Roxbury more nearly matches her youngest sister, Hannah, yet William Bartram and Hugh Burt had a wife named Sarah. For a good discussion see TEG 6 178-84. Children surnamed Burt.

I'm finding a sometimes name for his wife but do not know where it comes from.
General Notes for Child John KINGSLEY
I usually find the children listed as Alice's, whatever her last name actually was (may ahve been Daniels). Some may have been children of his first wife. It is hard to see how he had a child born in 1631 in Dorchester if he did not get there until 1635. Alot of things are vague with this man.
John Kingsley, born 9/17/1614 in Hampshire, England. John settled in Rehoboth, Mass. He married Elizabeth Stoughton. John was the son of
Among the people who came to Plymouth in 1630 were two brothers,
John and Stephen Kingsley, who came from Hampshire in England. In 1635,
John Kingsley left Plymouth and moved north to Dorchester in the
developing Boston area with a friend of Cotton Mather. He was followed by
Stephen who by 1640 was the owner of a valuable property in the
Braintree area. There he became a Court deputy in Braintree and Milton
from 1650 to 1666 and was also trustee of estates until his death in
1673. His family was to go on to found several towns in the Connecticut
area.
Note: I found only two places, online, that state that John Kingsley and his possibly brother Stephen were ever in Plymouth and I know of know proof of this. Most say they both went straight to Dorchester.
John, along with seven others was a pillar of a new church founded
for him in August 23, 1636 and was among the last survivors.
He got married a year after he got to Dorchester to Alice Daniels.
They had four children while they were at Dorchester, Eldad (1638), Enos,
Samuel, Renewed (1644). John Kingsley acquired the first grant of
land in the Taunton area in 1645 and moved there. The next year he
became shareholder in Great Lots (?). Three years later he moved to
Rehoboth in Bristol county. John and Alice had three more children in
Rehoboth, Grace, John, and Edward. What happened in moving into the
Rehoboth area, however, was that he moved into an region which was
eventually to explode into what is known as King Philipís War. The first
generation of settlers who had worked out an uneasy alliance with
Massassoit, chief of the Wampanoags, were now replaced by people who
wanted to expand their opportunities for development. The culture of the
Indians and that of the settlers differed greatly as to the use of land. A
continuing problem was the trampling of Native cornfields by colonistsí
livestock. While colonists were legally responsible for damage, such laws
were difficult to enforce in remote areas such as Rehoboth and Taunton.
Increased competition for resources (particularly land for planting,
hunting and fishing) caused friction between the two groups. In 1662, in
an arrogant attempt to exert control, the Plymouth Court summoned
Wampanoag leader Wamsutta (the son of Massassoit) to Plymouth. Major
Josiah Winslow and a small force took Wamsutta at gunpoint. Soon after
questioning, Wamsutta became sick and died. His death greatly angered
the Wampanoag.
Wamsutta's brother Metacom (also called Philip) succeeded him.
Plymouthís continued unyielding policy toward Native leaders, as well as
the events surrounding the murder of Sassamon, a liaison between the
two groups, caused the breakdown in relations that led to war. In 1675,
hostilities broke out in the town of Swansea, and the war spread as far
north as New Hampshire, and as far southwest as Connecticut. Not all
Native People, however, sided with Philip. Most Natives who had
converted to Christianity fought with the English or remained neutral. The
English, however, did not always trust these converts and interned many
of them in camps on outlying islands. Native soldiers fighting on the side
of the colonists helped turn the tide of the war, which ended in 1676
when Philip was killed by a Wampanoag fighting with Captain Benjamin
Church in the Great Swamp of southern Rhode Island. The strain connected
with the difficult relationships with the Indians over almost a thirty
year period ending with the death of Philip caused Johnís health to suffer
and he asked for relief in that year. He moved to Bristol, RI and died in
1678/9.

Mary Johnson Mowry married John kinglsey after the death of Roger
Mowry. So here is some facts on him which pertains to her. The following
is some material I have assembled on John Kingsley and family. I found
recently that his grave eventually was moved to Seekonk. MA. I know
where it is but have not had the time to go and look at it. There is a
mention of him in the recent book. "King Phillip's War."
Kingsley Family of America by William Kingsley cited as source:
John came in England between 1630 and 1635, eventually settling in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where he was one of seven organizers of the First Church of Dorcheseter which was founded in August 1636. He and Elizabeth married there, and she was teh second church member when her marriage coveant was signed.
John remarried sometime after 1640, to Alice Daniels. He acquired the first grant of land in Taunton, Massachsuetts, in 1645 and relocated there, where he became a shareholder in Great Lots teh following year. He was appointed bailiff in 1647 and tax collector in 1648. In about 1649 the family moved to Rehoboth, Massachsetts. They sepnt maybe ten years in their fertile farm east of Seekonk River. Tehy raised grain, and had horses, cattle, sheep, swine and fowls.
After the death of his second wife, John married Mary Johnson Mowry, his daughter-in-law's mother, in 1674.
In 1675 King Philip's war broke out. The Indians burned the town March the 28th, 1676: "... a party of the INdians, crossing the river, laid the town in ashes, burning forty houses and thirty barns. Only two houses were left standing, the garrison house, which stood on the spot where the house of Phauel Bishop now stands, and another home on the south end of the common, which was preserved by black sticks having been arranged around it, so as to give it at a distance the appearance of being strongly guarded. The houses were set on fire, as tradition informs us, early in the evening, and when the sun arose the next morning it beheld only a line of smoking ruins.
John was saved by being in a fortified garrison home. (Mary had probably fled with the other women and children to Neoport where Rev. John Clarke provided shelter for them). Five weeks of isolation had left them starving and he wrote a letter fo friends in Connecticut to please send food. About three weeks later food arrived.
John and Mary moved to Bristol, Rhode Island, where the couple died wihtin a day of each other. His grave was moved back to Rehoboth, probably because he stated in his will that he wanted 'to be buried by my wife Allice in the North Corner of my houselott".
John's will mentioned only three children; Freedom (Mary), Edward and Enos.

Lived in Westgate, He married at Banham Mary Canne, who may have been the Mary baptized in 1580 in Old Buckenham whose baptismal entry is marked damaged, probably the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Plowman alias Canne of the parishes of Old Buckenham and Banham.
TheBanham subsidy assessment daetd March 1641 contains several widows, but no mention of any Clarks. Although this list probably does not include all the property owners, mary's absence suggests taht she may have been the "Mary Clarke widdoe at Dedham who "was received into ye church giving very good satisfaction 1d 2 m 1642 adn whose death is recorded tehre soon after, as "our sister Clarke widdow ebing taken with strange fits of ye Collicke 21d 3m 1642 died in teh evening that followed, and as "mary Clarke deceased teh 22nd of y 3mo.

General Notes for Child Joseph CLARK
1998 NEHGS article presents parents, siblings, and ancestry of Joseph Clark in Banham, Norfolk, England.
. He settled in Dorchester, Mass., where on Nov. 22, 1634, he with twelve other men were given a grant of six acres of land “for their small and great lots at Naponsett betwixt the Indian feud and the mill.” It is said that he returned to England and sailed back on the ship Constance, Oct.24, 1635, his age given as 38. This does not fit the record of his being admitted freeman at Dorchester, March 4, 1634/5.He was one of the earliest residents of Dedham, being there in September 1640. He subscribed to the covenant. He had several grants Of land in Dedham. His house in Dedham was valued at £5.4.0. in 1648. He was one of the first Dedhamn men who undertook the settlement of Medfield, and was made a freeman there on May 18, 1653. His home was on the west side of what is now South Street, and an old cellar marks the spot where ho built. He served as selectman in 1660, and had a grant in 1663 for his son Joseph, Junior, to build upon.
Clarke arrived at Dedham by late summer 1640, for on "The 28th of y 7th month called Septembr, the town records dtate, "Wehreas Edward Allen hath graunted vnto Joseph Clarke one acre of land next Vine Brook towards y North for setting a house vupon: We Doe graunt vnto y said Joseph one acre of land to adioyne thrvnto for to make vp an house Lott. And more we doe graunt vnto y sayd Joseph Clarke Sixe Acres of planting growd, to ly beyond Vine Booke to be set out by ye aforesayd men .. and Wehreas Mr. Relph Wheelocke hath formrly graunted vnto Joseph Clarke twoe acres to plant vpon we do nowe graunte in Recompence therof Foure acres of grownd to lye beyond Vine brooe, & to be set out by 3 of the aforesayd men.
The fmamily of Elizabeth (Aldous) Brock was well acquainted with atleast one branch of the Fenns, for in the will of her uncle, John Aldus of Mendham, Suffolk, dated 29 Jul 1639, a bequest of 40 shillings was made to Mr. Fenn, minister of Mendham.
Under “True coppye of the subscriptions of the inhabitants of Med Field towards the buillding of the new Collidg at Cambridge [Harvard]” in 1678, Joseph Clark is listed as contributing “two bushielles Endian Corn,” most of the subscribers using grain instead of money contributions.
His will of June 24, 1682, was probated in June 1684. It left legacies to wife Alice, sons Joseph, Ephraim, Nathaniel, Benjamin and John; daughter Rebecca Richardson, a grandchild, John Bowers, and son-in-law John Adams. His daughter MARY had presumably had her portion when she married, sinceshewas not mentioned in the will, although she was living at the time.
* Son of John (and Alyce Baker) Pepper, son of Henry Pepper. (New and quixotic idea.)
