• Notes

  James, was admitted as a townsman in 1683, being then only 23 years old. In the division of the Meadows in 1694, he had 4 acres and in the final division of 1697 the same Number was confirmed to him. In the division of the Co. Lands of 1673, his name does not appear according to the rules adopted for the admission of townsman and the division of Company Lands. these facts indicate that James was married in or before 1683, as no unmarried men under 24 years of age were admitted townsman. the proportion indicate's that he was a man who had good property, 2.5 to 3 being the average. he moved from Barnstable to Plympton, Mass. perhaps in 1685. In 1694 he bought a large track of land on the east shore of Monponsett Pond, within the present limits of the town of Halifax, Mass, and moved there with his family soon after. He lived a quite and a blameless life, and as fast as his sons grew to manhood he divided his large holdings among them.
