Notes:
* James owned land in Hardwick, Massachusetts, as early as 1735, but probably
remained in Westboro until after 1739, when his son, Reuben was born there.
* In his will, July 13, 1774, he names all his children, except Lucy, to whose son
Solomon Farr and daughter, Lydia Farr legacies are given.
* He was a farmer, a bone-setter and a deacon of the Separate Church.
* He was denounced as a Tory, but forgiven and died in peace June 12, 1777.
* James's second wife, Prudence WHIPPLE, was the widow of Ebenezer Whipple, who was
a sergeant in the French war and was killed in battle.
* James and Lydia (CHILD) FAY are my 5th great grandparents.
