| Notes |
was a "Taylor" in Charlestown, Mass. and a private under Capt. Joseph Sill in the company which marched to Packchouge and camped for the night in a large Wigwam in 1676. Bought a house in Charlestown for thirty-eight pounds in 1681. Was accredited for service i King Phillips Wa
In 1684, John and Robert Melvin each paid the first rate as members of the Scots Charitable Society of Boston - the first charitable organization in the New England States. This proves their Scotch Origin as there were no other nationalities represented until 1700.
John's gravestone states his age at 74, however in a deposition in 1684 he stated his age as 28 years, a discrepancy of 1 year.
