- JOHN" CHURCHILL (El'.IEZER,2JOHN'). %orn in Plymouth,
Sept. 12, 1698. but removed in youth to Portsinouth, N.I-I., and
there spent his life, and died Oct. 7, 1769, aged 71 years 14
days. The inventory of his estate, taken Oct. 28, 1769, was
£129.18.9. His widow, Elizabeth, sold her dower for £15, in
1770. A very interesting and precious letter, from his own hand,
Written some time in the year 1764, is still preserved in the hands
Of his descendants. It is the source of nearly all we know of his
own family, and we regret that he did not tell more about himself.
This letter was copied from a copy Inade from the original, by her
grandfather Joseph, by Mrs. Mary W. (Churchill) Bailey, of Dysart,
Iowa, in 1886.
LETTER WRITTEN BY J01-[N3 CHURCHILL or PoRTsMoUTxI, N.H., 1764.
' When my son John was born, I wanted four days of being twenty-one years
old. I was born the 12th day of Sept. 1698. My son John was born the Sthdny of
5''-Pt-Tuesday morn, 1719. I)aniel was born Thursday Oct. 12, 1721. Mary,
Born Wednesday March 4, 1724. Ebenezer Born Sabbath June 6, 1726. Arthur
Born Monday Nov. 25, 1728. William born Tuesday March 14, 1732. Sanford,
born Sabbath day May 20, 1733. Tobias born Sabbath, January 26, 17:15.
Mfirtha born Saturday Oct. 15, 1737. Elizabeth born Tuesday April 10, 1740.
Benjamin, born Tuesday Oct. 13, 1741. Joseph born Monday March 25, 1744.
Mary died Sept. 21, 1743, aged 19 years 6 months 17 days. My wife died
27 Of Dec. 1745. My son Daniel died in 1745. He sailed out of Boston, Master
01''a large ship in Nov. before bound for London, and the hands perished for
5 e ship foundered. He was married in Boston and had one child that is dead
also. Arthur left me the 26th of March 1744, and went to sea, he left me the
next day after Joseph was born and I have not seen him for more than six
Years and God knows whenever I shall. My son John was married in New
h.°1'kto his second wife and sent for his son John that lived with me and I sent
1111 to his father. My Sons John and Ebenezer both (lied sometime in 1751 with
man Pox at one time. As for John's children I know nothing about. Ebihezer
never married. I pray the Lord to sanctify their death to me their
father for the good of my soul, knowing that in a short time I shall go to them
0!'they cannot return to me. My son Arthur after he first left me had the
Opportunity to come to Boston twice, and then sailed to England two voyages.
9 second voyage he was taken sick. I received a letter from him dated
0f Oct. 1752,from London, then he wrote me word that he designed to go to the
t 9_StIndies and from there to Piscataway to see me if God gave him opporcumfy
Put being led away by bad company he was tripanned by some means 1
fan' 3lVeaccount 'of, that he was obliged to go to the East Indies as a soldier
80!'two years, when I first heard of it I was greatly troubled to think one with
8° good sense and learning as he had and as good a sailor as need cross the sea,
°"1d take no more care of himself, but be led away in so unhappy condition
It has been a great trouble to me and ever will be, for day nor night never passes
but that I think of him. for I am out of all hope of ever seeing him again. I
hope God will be witl1him and help him and give him a heart of grace to return
from all his evil ways. My son Arthur left me the day after Joseph was born,
and I have heard from one Brewster, that he had got mate of an Indiaman, and
in the year 1763 he enquired after him and heard that he was dead.
Tobias died the 3 of August 1756 aged 21 years 3 mos and 17 days, and was
buried in Thomas Cotton's orchard, his bearers were Samuel Hale, Benjamin
Luce, Samuel Jackson, Joseph Jackson, Jonathan Long, and Edmund Loud, he
was the first of my sons that died at home. My son William Sailed out of Newbury
in the year 1755. I have heard one time about two years after that he was
in Rhode Island and I have not heard whether he is living or not, he has been
gone nine years. Sanford died July 3, 1733, aged 6 weeks 2 days.
Mrs. Bailey Writes that the above John Churchill left valuable
family records in the hands of his youngest son Joseph, her grandfather.
These records she states Went back to the time " our forefather
left England," but her.grandmother told her, about 1861,that
the records had been taken from the old chest where they were
kept, and were destroyed or lost. John Churchill, of Portsmouth,
appears in many property transactions, and is then designated " cordwainer."
His three sons, John, Benjamin, and Joseph only, of all
his children, survived him, and evidently inherited his estate, as we
find deeds from them disposing of their third parts of his property.
J OHN CHURCHILL,of Portsmouth, married 1st, in Portsmouth,
MARY JACKSON,daughter of Daniel. She died Dec. 27, 1745,
and he married 2d, Mas. ELIZABETHCOTTON,widow of Thomas.
