• Notes

  There is a family tradition (as well as noted in Savage, Dictionary, ibid.) that he lived for a time in Saybrook, Ct., a carpenter on the Fort there, along with John Winthrop, Jr. He was also possibly a carpenter on the Whitfield House in Guilford, Ct., which stands to this day as a museum. On August 9, 1637 John Friend was “allowed an inhabitant” of Salem and granted “10 Acres for planting ground” (Records of Salem [Essex Institute, Salem, 1868], I: 58, 59; hereafter “SR”). At the Town Meeting of July 16, 1638 he requested 200 more acres of land (SR, I:71) and was granted 100 acres on February 4, 1638 (SR, I:98). [4]
