By his first Wife, Margery Crump, he had Twenty-one Children. She had Twins divers Times & died ae. 38.       James and John both lived to be Men but died Bach. before Memory, &c.       Phelice, married Thomas Pellet of Concord & died at Glassenb’y.       Susanna, died ae. 17.       Children to No. 21 all died in Infancy. Mrs. Maxwell was fifteen years old at Birth of her first child. After her death he married Dorcas Stone of Lexington, by whom he had nine. She died also ae. 38 about A.D. 1791. Her children:       Dorcas Maxwell, married Tho. Stratton of Watertown.       others       Samuel Maxwell, b. Sept. 1688, from whom I have this Acco. 1764, aetatis 76, who has 7 children. Of the 30 children only Three lived to have issue; besides these, three lived to grow up but died without marrying. David died a Boy, and rest, that is 23, died in Infancy.” Thus, James children Phylis, Dorcas, and Samuel had chidren, but none others.
