Nov. and the next in Mar. made town clerk 1646; may have been father of
Henry, and perhaps had more children I presume he is the benefactor who gave to Harvard College the island lying off the harbor of
Hingham, called Bunkin's of Ward's island, and he may be the same that
lived 1658-77 at Charlestown, and died there, 31 Aug. 1682, aged 89, who
as Noahdiah Russell in his Diary tells, gave L4. to the College See
Geneal. Reg. VII. 57. His widow Frances, who was not his first wife died
10 June 1690, aged 83. [A Genealogical Dictionary of The First Settlers
