He returned to Charlton Mackrell and had children baptized there (1587-1599) and called "Henry Squire, late of Kingweston, near Somerton, Somerset". He married about 1586, but his wife's name is unknown. Evidenced by a lease 18 November, 1599, Henry lived at Charlton Adam. the lease mentions daughters Sara, Anne, and Margaret. From "American Presidential Ancestry: A Bibliography" fourth addendum; by Gary Boyd Roberts: "...So far as I am aware, only two such [immigrant ancestor] couples are ancestors of four Presidents, and only fourteen such couples are ancestors of three Presidents..." "Henry SQUIRE of Charlton Mackrell, co. Somerset, England, died before 1649, and his unknown wife, parents of the Braintree, Mass., immigrants Edith SQUIRE, wife first of Henry Adams and ancestress of the two Adamses and [Calvin] Coolidge, and Margaret SQUIRE, wife of John Shepard and ancestress of [William Howard] Taft."
