    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth rec found. Nehemiah is identified in the will of his father, Anthony Bessie of Sandwich, 10 Feb 1656, proved 3 Jun 1657, Plymouth Colony Probate, 2:1:51 (FHL #567794). He is also identified in the will of his mother, Jane Barlow of Sandwich, 6 Aug 1693-4 Oct 1693, Barnstable Co. Probate, 1:86 (FHL #904598). On 2 Aug 1664 the Plymouth Court ordered that Nehemiah Bessie of Sandwich, having arrived at full age, could receive his father's inheritance (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 4:70 [FHL #974.4 N2n]). Hence, Nehemiah was born about 1643. In 1643 his father was on the list of those men able to bear arms for the town of Sandwich (Ibid, 8:192). It is believed, therefore, that Nehemiah was born in Sandwich.
      MAR: No mar rec found. Children of Nehemiah Bessie and his wife Mary were born at Sandwich. She is no doubt the dau of Robert Ranson of Plymouth, whose inv of estate, 22 Dec 1697, includes items given to his grandson Nehemiah Bessie (Plymouth Co. Probate, 1:279-80 [FHL #550708]).
      NOTE: Nehemiah probably left Sandwich and settled in Wareham or Plymouth where some of his children settled. No death or probate rec has been found.
