• Notes

  John Webster came from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, around 1631 to Ipswich, Massachusetts, where he was made a freeman in 1635. He was a baker by trade, admitted an inhabitant of Salem in 1637 and had a grant of land. He was a witness in the Essex court in 1639 and applied for land at the Creek in 1642. He died soon after coming here, leaving four sons and four daughters. The family subsequently moved to Newbury. Estate of John Webster of Ipswich Essex Probate Docket # None Inventory of John Webster's lands and goods sworn to 29:7:1646 by his widow, Mary Webster, who is appointed administratrix. (Ipswich Quarterly Court Records, vol. 2, leaf 5) Petition of Mary widow of John Webster, that her eldest son, John, should have the land called the farm, of about 32 acres, which lyeth between Mr. Rogers oxe pasture and Thomas Bishop's farm, when he is twenty-one years, he to pay Nathan the youngest child 5li at fourteen years or if he refuse that Elizabeth, Abigail and Israell have 20 nobles each, when twenty one; the dwelling house and 6 acres of land tied to make it good. The Court, Nov 4, 1646, granted that the estate be ordered as the widow desired and apointed her administratrix, to give bond for security in such sum as the next Ipswich court shall approve and receive of her the inventory amount to 147li. 5s. (Mass Bay Colony Records, vol 2, p. 184.)
