Page 1080, Indicates there were 7 sons, number of daughters unknown, indicates Daniel was the fifth son, John's position not known. He was probably born in England, and was brought up in Scarborough. In August 1668, which was probably soon after his Marriage, he bought 50 acres of land adjoining his fathers plantation. There he probably lived during his sojourn at Black Point. Afterward he received several other grants from the town. The part he took in town business was active, and he served as selectman during the years 1670-74-83 and 1687. In May 1690, while the settlement at Black Point was still equipped to repel an invader, Fort Loyal, on Casco neck, a few miles north of Black Point, was attacked by a large body of Indians and French. The fort stood a siege of five days, and then surrendered, and the inhabitants of Scarborough, not wanting to be attacked, immediately deserted their homes and fled to safer localities. He went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, his youngest son Jeremiah then being 10 years old. He remained in Portsmouth the remainder of his life, and followed the occupation of miller. In 1720, when he was very old, he made a deposition about early affairs in Scarborough. How much longer he lived after that is unknown.40
Soldier in Philip’s War. In Scarborough he was selectman 1669, 1673, 1674, 1676, 1684, 1688. In Portsmouth miller, he and his sons ran (and apparently built) the grist mill on the Vaughan privilege. Thinking that the Libby lands passed to him as eldest son under English law, he deeded then to his eldest son, and deeded his own Scarborough lands to his son Daniel; so his other children are unnamed. But the 1736 division of his father’s lands among all the heirs shows that his brothers James and Samuel left no descendants, and all his other brothers except Daniel at Marblehead, left wills naming their children; so it seems certain that all others about Portsmouth of proper age were his children, with possibility one or more of the Libby girls who were likelier his grand daughters. He and his wife Agnes depositioned together in 1718, he that Winnock lived in Scarborough over 60, she only 50 years ago. Daughters unknown, may have included Elizabeth, married 23 October 1718 to Jonathan Barlow.76
