• Notes

  John Pease came to America to Salem, Mass. with his family but after his father who came in 1634. He is first really documented in the settlement of his father's estate in 1644. He would appear to have been a favorite of his grandmother, Margaret Pease, indicated by her giving him in her will most of her property and there is some evidence that he may have been adopted by his grandmother before his father's death. After his father's death he was placed by his grandmother in the care of Thomas Watson of Salem "to dispose of him as his own child." He married first, Mary Goodell, who died in 1669, three days after the birth of her fifth child. He married, second, Ann Cummings who died in 1689 just before John. John settled as a "yeoman" in that part of Salem known as "Northfields" which is now within the city limits but was a farming district. His name is frequently found in the Essex County and Salem Town records as grantee, grantor, or witness to deeds, overseer of wills, constable, etc. He joined the First Church at Salem on July 4, 1667 and was made a freeman on April 29, 1668. In the fall of 1681 he moved with his family, his two eldest son's families and numerous neighbors to Fresh Water Brook, then a part of Springfield, Mass. but which would become Enfield, Ct. In 1682 he sold his land in Salem and listed his residence as now of Enfield, Ct which is just south of Springfield. In the summer of 1689 disaster struck his family and John, his wife Ann and their daughter Abigail all died within two weeks of each other.
