| Misc. Notes |
John Briggs was first mentioned by Gov. Bradford in his Plymouth Colony Records when he was deeded, on 16 April 1640, seven and one half acres of land at Sandwich with the original proprietors of the township. On 1 June 1641 at the General Court of Plymouth his widow was granted the administration of his estate. Savage197 considered him to be the John Briggs of Lynn who probably came on the Blessing in 1635, ae. 20 years. However, the John Briggs who settled in Newport, R.I. in 1639 may have been the passenger on the Blessings.
The names of the children of John Briggs are recorded in the inventory taken of his estate by Edward Dillinghame and Thomas Tupper. "And the said Katherne Briggs doth prmise and give unto her two children tow cowes vis' the yeonger white cowe to her sonne Samuel and the browne heiffer to her daughter Sarah to be kept for them and thencrease and stock to be theirs from this tyme forward..."
The inventory of stock and household goods included, "three melch cowes, 1 heiffer, 1 bullock and two bull calves."590, p1 |
