2051	John Brown (father of James) was long one of the Assistants at Plymouth Colony; a Commissioner of the United Colonies; and a large proprietor of Wannamoiset, an Indian Country bordering on the Southwesterly part of ancient Rehoboth, and now consistuting the Northwesterly part of Barrington and Swansey. Before the incorporation of Swansey, Wannamoiset was regarded as a part of Rehoboth, and John Brown, with his son-in-law, Thomas Willet, resided there.	Brown, John (I42388)

2054	JOHN BULLARD, son of William and Grace (Bignett) Bullard, was born in Barnham, Suffolk county, England, 1601-2, and died at Medfield, Massachusetts, October 27, 1678. His death was accidental, the result of "the overthrow of a cart," according to the early records of Medfield. He married in England, Magdalene, whose surname is not recorded and who died in Medfield, Massachusetts, November 29, 1661. He married second, Ellen, widow of Thomas Dickerman of Dorchester. The second wife died in 1676. John Bullard settled first at Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1636, where he was a proprietor in 1638, and with his wife, Magdalene, was admitted to the church May 2, 1639. He took the freeman's oath May 13, 1640. With his brother William, he became a proprietor of the settlement at Dedham, when the company of Watertown church members established themselves there. His dismissal from the church at Watertown to the one at Dedham, was dated May 30, 1641, "Mr. Phillips, the pastor, and Elders Carter and Howe, testifying in his favor." He had been one of the original purchasers of Dedham, having signed the social compact of proprietors June 1, 1636, and lands were assigned him adjoining his brother William's. The brothers were rated among the more able citizens and private accounts against John Bullard abroad were entered as "one of the two Bullards at Dedham." In 1650, he became one of the select proprietors of the new town of Medfield, Massachusetts, where lands were assigned him and where, with the other proprietors, he enjoyed so great a degree of the confidence of the General court, they were not bound, in the act of incorporation "to build within a specified time, a meeting house, settle a minister, and establish a school," their character being sufficient pledge that these things would soon be done. A house lot of eight acres was assigned to John Bullard in Medfield in 1652. His lot, on what is now Main street, stood nearly opposite the head of Spring street, the original building gave way to its successor in 1696, and the estate has had many owners since that date. In 1675, John Bullard is on the list of subscribers to the fund for the "new brick college" (Harvard), his contribution to be a bushel and a half of "Indian corn." In 1652 his estate in Medfield is described: 6 persons ... ¹60 2 cows ....¹12 2 1 yearling ... ¹4 1 swine .... ¹1 2 accer improved ... ¹8 3 acce of brok ... ¹10 - acce unbrok ... ¹0.10s 1 House ... ¹20 ----- ... ¹20 sume .... ¹116	Bullard, John (I11820)
2055	John BUTTERWORTH was a Baptist, and one of the seven founders of the first Baptist church in MA, and the second in America, at his home in Rehoboth. It was later moved to Swansey, because the court fined them for having these services, and not paying taxes to the established church. (Source: NEHGR, Vol. 1 and 2). John's uncle, Samuel BUTTERWORTH came over before John. He became a freeman at Rehoboth 3 JUL 1652, and received land 22 JUN 1658.He had moved there by 1662. IN 1663, the Baptist Church was organized inJohn's home, and met there regularly. He became a long time deacon. Rehoboth did not want Baptists, so and and others received permission to start a new town, Swanzey, named after Swanzey, Wales. He and four others were in charge of admitting inhabitants, disposing of lands, and soing other affairs of the town. On 16 MAR 1677, John was given the job of distributing relief from Ireland to help sufferers in the Indian war. He was constable in 1685. (NEHGR)	Butterworth, John (I41546)

2061	John did not remove to Rehoboth with the rest of his father's family, but was left at Dorchester, with Mr. John Gurnell, and was there brought up at the tanner's business. Taken into the watch care of the church, under circumstances of some peculiarity, their subsequent records show that John's walk was not always orderly. However, he so far secured the confidence of the widow of Mr. Gurnell, that by her will, she entailed her real estate upon him, to go to the poor of Dorchester upon his decease without issue.	Mason, John (I51709)
2062	John died aged about 72, from drinking when he was overheated, water at a spring since called Lord Griffin's Spring in Simsbury, Connecticut. He was survived by ten children.	Griffin, John (I26262)

The interment was in the "Old Fulton Street Cemetery" there. About 1835 he became a private in the "Fifth Company" of the 27th Regiment, New York State Militia, the predecessor of the 7th Regiment, N. G. S. when he resigned. John E. Earle was at one time the Adjutant of the Regiment.	Earle, John Edward (I33187)
2064	John Earle / 1915-2007 Isles lose their last Arizona survivor Heart failure claims a local man who was at Pearl Harbor By Gregg K. Kakesako gkakesako@starbulletin.com John Horatio Earle, believed to be last crew member of the battleship USS Arizona living in Hawaii, died of heart failure Tuesday at the Queen's Medical Center. The national USS Arizona Survivors Association has considered retired Marine Col. Earle, who celebrated his 92nd birthday with a glass of champagne on Jan. 7, the only crew member still living in Hawaii. He was one of 85 Marines assigned to the Arizona, which was sunk in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Ruth Campbell, who headed last year's reunion of Arizona survivors, told the Star-Bulletin there are no records of how many of Arizona's 334 sailors who survived the Japanese attack are still living today. The records of her association can account for only 34 Arizona survivors. The group has held a Honolulu reunion every five years since 1978. In the fall of 1941, Earle had just been promoted to captain and was assigned to the battleship USS Tennessee and ordered to the Arizona on Dec. 6. Earle recounted in the Pearl Harbor Survivor Oral Project that throughout Dec. 6, until 9:30 that night, he was involved in taking inventory. Earle did not spend the night on the Arizona. He was with his wife in their Ala Wai apartment. The next morning, from the lanai of his Waikiki apartment, Earle said, he could "see anti-aircraft bursts covering the area." He caught a cab to Pearl Harbor with sailors from the Tennessee, and when they arrived at Pearl Harbor, it "looked like a scene from the Inferno. The second attack wave was still in progress, and the Arizona, already destroyed, was belching thick black smoke that was to continue for days." Earle caught a boat from Merry Point Landing to Ford Island, "a scene of complete devastation." Earle said 12 enlisted Marines from his 85-member detachment had swum to Ford Island and taken refuge in a bomb shelter just a few feet from where the Arizona was berthed. After the Japanese attack, Earle led Marine detachments fortifying and preparing to defend Lualualei Ammunition Depot in Waianae against possible Japanese landings. His daughter, Jane Earle-Dabrowski, a Punahou School teacher, said her father initially wanted to be a Marine pilot after graduating from Virginia Military Institute in 1936, but had flunked the flight exam because of his vision. "Following the attack on Pearl Harbor," Earle-Dabrowski said, "vision requirements were relaxed. It was one eye, two eyes ... yep, you were qualified, my dad would later joke." Earle graduated from flight school in 1942 and commanded a dive-bomber squadron in the Philippines, flying Corsairs and SBDs. His World War II combat awards included the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal. Earle retired from the Marine Corps in 1961 and joined his family, which moved to Hawaii in 1958. Earle attended graduate school at the University of Hawaii and would later teach history there. His daughter said her father was an avid painter and was active in the Hawaii Watercolor Society. His home near Punahou School was decorated with watercolors he had painted during the numerous trips he took with his wife, Barbara, a retired Punahou School teacher to whom he had been married for 68 years. "My father would decorate the sonnets he wrote for my mother with watercolors. He wrote sonnets for every occasion. They were an amazing couple." Earle was born on Jan. 7, 1915, in Reading, Pa. Other survivors include sons John and Thomas, daughter Susan McLane, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Private inurnment will be held Feb. 5 at the National Cemetery of the Pacific. Memorial services will be held at 4 p.m. Feb. 6 at Central Union Church. The family requests no flowers.	Earle, John Horatio Jr. (I40767)

2066	John Earle, led Marines in WWII By Dan Nakaso Advertiser Staff Writer John Earle Most of the Marines under John Earle's new command aboard the USS Arizona died in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and for years Earle felt lucky to have been on shore on Dec. 7, 1941. "I've known of that story ever since I was a child," said Earle's son, Thomas, who teaches seventh-grade English at Punahou School. "It was a lucky deal. He was supposed to spend the night on the ship, but the guy he was relieving told him, 'Go home to your wife in Waikiki.' " John Earle, who went on to a 20-year career in the Marines, retired at the rank of colonel and later taught history at the University of Hawai'i, died Tuesday night at The Queen's Medical Center. He was 92. On Dec. 6, 1941, then-Capt. Earle transferred from the USS Tennessee and took over the Marine detachment aboard the Arizona berthed next door. He considered himself more of a USS Tennessee survivor, Thomas Earle said, but the men of the USS Arizona nevertheless regard Earle as one of their own to this day. "He didn't even have a chance to get acquainted with anyone on board and he was not aboard when the bombs dropped," said Vincent Vlach, an Arizona yeoman first class who keeps track of Arizona survivors from a care home in Riverside, Calif. "But he's definitely an Arizona survivor." In a remembrance for the Pearl Harbor Survivors Project, Earle later wrote that he had taken over a detachment of 85 Marines, although Vlach's records put the number at 88. Earle wrote that 12 Marines survived; Vlach believes it was 15. Whatever the number, Earle "knew he was lucky not to be aboard," said Vlach, who ran into Earle years later at Arizona survivors' reunions. "I was ashore myself or else they would have been sweeping up my ashes. They would have been sweeping up his ashes, too." John Horatio Earle was born in Reading, Pa., in 1915, graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1936 when he was commissioned a second lieutenant, and was one of five brothers who fought in World War II and survived. After the Japanese attack, Earle led Marine units preparing for a Japanese attack on O'ahu while his wife, Barbara, got a job with naval intelligence to avoid being evacuated. (Barbara later taught English at Punahou School). Even though poor vision initially kept Earle out of flight school, the attack gave him a second chance as a Marine aviator. He went on to command a dive bomber squadron in the Philippines and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal. In his civilian life, Earle became active in the Hawaii Watercolor Society and pursued interests in history, travel and fly fishing. He is survived by Barbara, his wife of 68 years; sons John and Thomas, both of Honolulu; daughters Jane Earle-Dabrowski of Honolulu and Susan McLane of New Braunfels, Texas; six grandchildren; and three great grandchildren. A private inurnment is scheduled for Feb. 5 at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Punchbowl. Services are scheduled for 4 p.m. Feb. 6 at Central Union Church's Atherton Chapel. The family requests no flowers. Honolulu Advertiser 26 Jan 2007	Earle, John Horatio Jr. (I40767)
2067	John Evens is located in Somerset Township in the 1852 atlas of Niagara County and is referred to as a "pioneer" of the county in his death notice published in Lockport. Residence was on the east side of Quaker Road, just over the Somerset town line.	Evans, John (I5678)
2068	John F. Morris listed as grantor in the Grantors Index Seneca County Clerk's Office as "15th day of September 1868 between John F. Morris of Seneca Falls and Jacob A. Reed of Seneca Falls ... bounded ... North by Green Street ..." This occurred about 3 months after the death of Abby. A John Morris born in 1820 appears in the 1865 Soldiers and Sailors census as having had Civil War Service. Also from Seneca Falls were George Morris b 1837 Cleveland, OH and William Foster Morris born in Seneca Falls, boatman, no date or parents listed. Clues for further research.	Morris, John F. (I1287)

2070	JOHN FREEMIRE, JR. The father of the subject of this sketch was John, or as he was commonly called, Johannes Freemire, one of the first settlers of Cobleskill. He was the only one of the family that survived the conflict of 1778, particularily described in the Chapter relating to the town of Cobleskill, excepting a brother who fled to Canada with the unscrupulous Zea. At the close of the war, John removed to Breakabeen, and was married to a sister of Christian Bouck. John, Jr. was there born January 20, 1785, and was reared under the prevailing rules of those days, in industry and frugality, with but little if any educational advantages, beyond those afforded by daily intercourse and dealings with neighbors in the interchange of produce, etc. Mr. Freemire was united in marriage with Catherine Bartholomew in the year 1809 and lived upon the homestead farm, which he cleared of timber and which is now inherited and occupied by his son, William H., and there resided until his death, which occurred August 22, 1876. He was an earnest Democrat of the old school and a firm friend of his neighbor and townsman, William C. Bouck. The Governor's confidence in his honesty and strict adherence to systematic rules of performing duty, led to the appointment of Mr. Freemire as Guard at the Sub-Treasury in New York City. He held that position of trust three years and returned to his home. Not aspiring to official positions, he was but once elected to office and then as Justice of the Peace, although repeatedly urged to accept that and honors. His characteristic spirit of retirement led him to refuse a compliance with the earnest and oft repeated appeals of his townsmen. His married life was blessed in rearing a large family of children who have proven themselves useful and energetic citizens, such as reflect credit upon the wise counsels and examples of honest parents. They are Mrs. John B. Waldron, of Breakabeen; John Freemyer, of Cassopolis, Mich.; Mrs. Wm. Woolford, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; William H. of Breakabeen; and Abram of Middleburgh. Mrs. Ephriam Patterson also was a daughter but died several years ago, as did her patriotic husband who received injuries that proved fatal while in the late rebellion. The family name was originally spelled Frimire, but of late has been changed to Freemyer with the common consent of all branches of the family. John and Catharine (Bartholomew) Freemyer, the former born in 1785, died in 1876, and the latter born in 1792, married in 1809; children ten, five now living.	Freymeyer, Johannes (I47261)

2072	John had by his father's will a lot of land at "planting field"; and, soon after, the town granted him a small spot "where his siller now stands." Later, he had another grant, "where his house stands." In 1702, a road is spoken of as being "near John Hamant's house, by his line over a stony brook toward rail-tree neck." The land which he received from his father was to go to Timothy, his brother, in case he should die without heirs. He died unmarried in 1708. !History of Medfield, Tilden; 1887;401	Hamant, John (I13530)

2081	John JORDAN was a cooper, and removed to Middletown having sold his home-lot in Guilford to William LEETE, Jr., on 24 June 1679. Before 1689 he was in Saybrook. He died, presumably, about 1713, as on June 26 of that year, Abraham CHALKER, executor of the last will and testament of "Mr. John JORDAN, late of Saybrook," sets off to the deceased's daughter Mary her part of the lands of her father at Ironmine plain. The same day, land was set off for William BUSHNELL, husband of Catherine JORDAN, "being the whole of that land given to me by my Honored father, Mr. John JORDAN, late of Saybrook, deceased," and "on-third part of that meadow commonly called Pond Meadow that was my Honored Father's Mr. John JORDAN's aforesaid." !NEHGR 62:334	Jordan, John (I22520)
2082	John JORDAN was an original settler and the seventh to sign the Guilford "plantation covenant" of 1 June 1639. He came from the Co of Kent, from Lenham or the vicinity, with his brother Thomas JORDAN and joined Mr. Whitfield and his company in their immigration to New England. He was a witness to the deed of Uncas, and also that of Weekwash, and although quite young at the time of his emigration, still he was a prominent member of the community. His will was dated 2 Feb 1646; inventory dated 1 Feb 1649/50. !NEHGR 62:333 !History of the Plantation of Menunkatuck (Guilford, CT); p.45	Jordan, John (I22526)
