Familt File 1. Everton Publishers, found in the Allen County Public Library shows his wife as Mary Poor. Also of York , Dover [1667/8], Shirborne [sic] [1670]. Primary Source, beyond AF &FF: Benjamin Savage, A Gen. Dict. of the Fst. Sett. of NE, orig. pub. 1860-62. Notes show another child, Benjamin, b. 22 or 27 May 1709, in Sherborn, child of the second wife. However, if she was indeed a sister to Jane Poor, the first wife, she was probably nearly 60 years old at that time, and Benjamin would have been 66. [Notes from Jeanne Muse: I show marriage date of 1695 to Jane Poor. Thus he would have been only 52 when he married and 62 when child was born in 1709. If Mary was young, this could easily have happened.} He: BIR-DEA: Research by Alyson Cobb of Green Cove Springs, Florida; migrated to Maine. He rsided between 1667 and 1668 Cocheco, NH; appears by th Registry of Deeds, Vol III, page 451-2. John Whitney sold to Benjamin Whitney the former's house, barn and all the land about the home [about 17 acres, bounded north by John Sherman; E. & S. by William Bond, and W. by Martin Underwood] on 5 Apr 1670 Watertoen. Benjamin sold his to Deacon Joshua Whitney with the consent of his father, for L40, all right to his father's homestead obtained % Apr 1670 and Mar 1670/71 Watertown.
