  • Notes 
    • The will of Joshua Fobes of Bridgewater, husbandman, is dated August 7, 1786 and was proved November 5, 1787. It names his wife, Esther, two daughters, Ruth and Abigail and five sons, Daniel, Joshua, Caleb, Robert and Soloman. Esther and Solomon were executors. On November 3, 1787, Esther asked that her son Daniel act on her behalf as "I am not well able to come down to your court". In a division dated March 3, 1789 and confirmed by the court July 3, 1797, the real estate was divided among the five sons. (Plymouth PR #7829 30:254; 36:192-194)
