  1. 2.  Spring, John was christened on 16 Jun 1587 in Tilbury-Jx-Clare,Essex,Eng (son of Spring, Henry and Finch, Mary); died after 1659 in Watertown,Middlesex,MA(?).

    Notes:

    CHR: Tilbury-Juxta-Clare par reg (FHL #1472764 item 28). John was aged 45 yrs on passenger list of the ship "Elizabeth," 30 Apr 1634 (Peter Wilson Coldham, THE COMPLETE BOOK OF EMIGRANTS [Baltimore, 1987], 114 [FHL #973 C2col]).
    MAR #1: No mar rec found. A wife Elinor is listed with him on the ship "Elizabeth," 30 Apr 1634, above.
    MAR #2: No mar rec found. The wife of John Spring of Watertown, "sometimes the wife of Thomas Hatch of Scituate," had been living in Scituate without her husband for 3 or 4 years, when the Plymouth Colony court ordered her to repair to her husband or show cause, 6 Oct 1659 (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 3:174 [FHL #974.4 N2n]). This wife was apparently the Lydia Spring mentioned in the nuncupative will of Jonas Pickles of Scituate, 15 Dec 1664 (Plymouth Colony Probate, 2:2:30 [FHL #567794]). John Spring evidently had no wife on 25 Mar 1656, when he deeded his house and lands to son Henry in exchange for perpetual support, as he made no provisions for her (Middlesex Co. Deeds, 1:220-23 [FHL #554000]). Therefore, John Spring married Lydia, widow of Thomas Hatch of Scituate, later in 1656.
    DEATH: No death rec found. John was living in Watertown as late as 6 Oct 1659, when the Plymouth court ordered his wife to repair to him, above.

    DEATH: Elinor was apparently dead before 25 Mar 1656, when John Spring deeded his house and lands to son Henry in exchange for perpetual support, as he made no provision for his wife's support (Middlesex Co. Deeds, 1:220-23 [FHL #554000]).
