John of Barnham, wh. is a. 10 ms. from Malden, wh. may have come over ord. sev. yrs.earlier, with w. Rose, wh. is thot. to have been sis.of Presid.Dunster, adm. of the ch. 2 Feb. 1640, yet not freem. until1645, tho. he was selectman the yr. preced. rep. for Malden 1647, 50 to 6, speaker of the ho. in the earliest yr. but not the first speaker, as in Geneal. Reg. IX. 34, is said; and leader of the milit. of the town. His w.d. 24 Mar. 1650,and he m. 24 June of the [p.418] foll. yr. Hannah, wid. o fEdward Mellows. Again he m. Jan. 1656. officiat. as magistr. at the solemnity (of course, as third w.) Helen Atkinson, call.d. of Hugh, of Kendall, in Co. Westmoreland; and at Newbury m. 8 Mar.1665, fourth w.

He wrote his name with final s; but in some rec. that addit. does not appear. In the third m. he imitat. the foolish precedent of Gov. Bellingham at an earlier day, performing, in his own right, the legal ceremony, for wh. act he was presented at the Court. His will, of 14 Sept. 1687, names gr. childr. Hannah and Eliz.
