BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR #1: Swalcliffe par reg by corr, Oxfordshire Archives, Oxford, 29 Jan 1996. Wife Joane is mentioned in a deed from Thomas Faxon of Braintree, Mass. to John Williams of Southwark, Surrey, 17 Sep 1662, SUFFOLK DEEDS, 14 vols. (Boston, 1880-1906), 4:54 (FHL #974.46 R2s).
MAR #2: Samuel A. Bates, ed, RECORDS OF THE TOWN OF BRAINTREE, 1640-1793 (Randolph, MA, 1886), 718 (FHL #974.47/B3 N2b). Wife is called "Sarah Savill widow." She was apparently the widow of William Savill who died at Braintree, 6 Apr 1669 (Ibid, 639). William's will, 19 Feb 1668-26 Aug 1669, mentions a wife Sarah (Suffolk Co. Probate, #501, [o.s.] 6:36 [FHL #584128]). William Savill and Sarah Gannett were married at Braintree, 6 Nov 1655 (Bates, RECORDS OF THE TOWN OF BRAINTREE, 716). It is clear, however, that Sarah was a widow when she married Savill, as Thomas Faxon of Braintree administered the estate of William Mullins of Braintree, 28 Mar 1674, "in the Right of his wife, the sd Mullins being his wifes Father" (Suffolk Co. Probate, [O.S.] 7:356-57 [FHL #584128]). Sarah was apparently the wife of Thomas Gannett of Duxbury and Bridgewater. He was of the later place when he made his will, 19 June 1655-6 Aug 1655, Plymouth Colony Probate, 2:1:12-13 (FHL #567794). The will mentions his wife Sarah. Therefore, Sarah Mullins was successively the wife of Thomas Gannett, William Savill, and Thomas Faxon.
DEATH: Bates, RECORDS OF THE TOWN OF BRAINTREE, 657. Also see the adm of estate of Thomas Faxon of Braintree, 23 Dec 1680, inv 29 Dec 1680, Suffolk Co. Probate, #1158, (o.s.) 9:19,34 (FHL #584129).
