    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. See the declaration of John Chipman of Barnstable, Plymouth Colony, 8 Feb 1651 [1657], NEHGR, 35(1881):127-28 (FHL #974 B2ne). This document, which appears to be a contemporary transcript of a legal document sent to England, calls John Derby, late of Yarmouth, the son of Christopher Derby of Sturtle [Sterthill], Dorset. Date and place of birth are approximations. John was probably born about 1609, as his brother William is identified as the eldest son of Christopher Derby in a chancery suit, 28 Nov 1678, Henry Bishop v. William Baldwyne, et al, Chancery Proceedings before 1714, Collins 514/106, cited in G. Andrews Moriarty, "Genealogical Research in England," NEHGR, 79(1925):424 (FHL #974 B2ne). William was aged 25 in Jun 1632, Phelps v. Gardiner, Chancery Depositions, Chas. I, G. 56/53 ("Genealogical Research in England," NEHGR, 79:420).
      MAR: No mar rec found. John's wife was apparently the widow Alice Derby, who married Abraham Blush/Blish at Barnstable, 4 Jan 1658/9 (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 8:41 [FHL #974.4 N2n]). The "widow Blush" received land from the estate of John Derby about 1683, after the death of Abraham Blush (Plymouth Colony Probate, 4:2:32 [FHL #567794]). A wife Alice is also mentioned in the will of Abraham Blush of Barnstable, 17 Apr 1682, proved 5 Mar 1683/4, inv 4 Sep 1683 (Plymouth Colony Probate, 4:2:126-27 [FHL #567794]).
      DEATH: No death rec found. See the inv of estate of John Derby of Yarmouth, 22 Feb 1655/6, Plymouth Colony Probate, 2:29-30 (FHL #567794). Also see the adm of estate, 5 Mar 1655/6 (Shurtleff, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 3:96).
