| Notes |
lived in Yarmouth. In 1680 he traded for a farm in Barnstable, but about 1690 removed to Preston, Connecticut.
He soon married a cousin of his first wife, Sarah Clark. Their children were: Joseph, born 1666 (also given 1673); Hannah, February, 1668, not living in 1704; Mary, April, 1670, married J. Clark 16 November, 1697; Mercy, 12 March, 1674; Elizabeth, 14 January, 1679(80), not living in 1704; John, 1682, died 2 August, 1716. These are from the town records at Barnstable. Mentioned in the settlement of the estate were Jemima, Kezia, and Sarah. As Jemima bore the first wife's name, it is natural to suppose that she was the first born daughter by the second marriage, born about 1666. The Stow record is not incorrect in calling her "of Plymouth"; Barnstable was in Plymouth Colony." Source: "Powers-Banks Ancestry" by John Leslie Powers (1921)
