ean Dudley ms: Family tree page 6 John = [no
wife given] b 21 Second mo 1656 was dead 1733 Winthrop Alexander
says "marriage record not discovered - Quaker? wife probably
but not certainly Lydia Hatch, daughter of Jeremiah2,
Thomas1 and Mary ?Reeves." Sons (per Alexander):
John (1695-1769) Jeremiah (1696-1752) Melatiah (1700-1786) (probably)
Edward d.1783. Alexander gives John’s life span as 1658-1733)
(copied about 20 May 1994 by Grace V Dillingham at Library of
Congress). From Freeman’s Cape Cod Sandwich Families vol 11
p 476 Copied by either FWD or Dean Dudley: John Dillingham son of
Henry and Hannah Perry Dillingham probably married Sarah daughter
of Shearjashub Bourne of Sandwich and sister of Hon Melatiah
Bourne, born 12 June 1694 (Swift’s Barnstable Families page
114). Sarah was born 6 July 1681. Melatiah Dillingham was born in
1700, as he was 86 at his death 1786. Shearjashub Bourne wife was
Bathsheba daughter of James Skiffe. [Sarah is #355 in this record.]
Alexander gives John’s wife as probably Lydia Hatch. The
arguments are not conclusive, but definitely better than those
for Sarah Bourne. [DILLIN.GED]
