Research Notes

The marriage of Goodman Austin Bearse is not on record. His children, born in Barnstable, were

I. Mary, born 1640, bap'd May 6, 1643.

II. Martha, born 1642, bap'd May 6, 1643.

III. Priscilla, born March 10, 1643-4, bap'd March 11, 1643-4, married Dea. John Hall, jr., of Yarmouth, 1660.

IV. Sarah, born March 28, 1646, bap'd March 29, married John Hamblin of Barnstable, Aug. 1667, and had twelve children .

V. Abigail, born Dec. 18, 1647, bap'd Dec. 19, married April 12, 1670, Allen Nichols of Barnstable, and had nine children.

VI. Hannah, born Nov. 16, 1649, bap'd Nov. 18.

VII. Joseph, born Jan'y 25, 1651-2, bap'd same day, married Dec. 3, 1676. Martha Taylor.

VIII. Hester, born Oct. 2, 1653, bap'd same day.

IX. Lydia, born end of Sept. 1655.

X. Rebecca,, born Sept. 1657, married Feb. 1670-1, William Hunter. Additional investigation will prob- ably show the above to be an error of the record. William Hunter of Sandwich, married liebecca, daughter of Wid. Jane Besse, who married second, the notorious Marshall George Barlow. If the record is correct, she was only 13 years, 5 months old when married.

XI. James, born end of July, 1660. He was admitted a townsman in 1683, being then only 23 years of age. In the division of the meadows in 1694, he had four acres, and in the final division in 1697, the same number was confirmed to him. In the division of the common lands in 1703, his name does not appear ac- cording to the rules adopted for the admission of townsmen, and the division of common land ; the above facts indicate that James Bearse was married in 1683, as no unmarried men were admitted townsmen till 24 years of age ; that he was a man who had good property, (2 1-2 or 3 being the average), this proportion indicates, and his name not appearing on the list in 1703, shows that he was then dead or had removed from town.

There was a Bearse family early in Halifax, Plymouth county. An Austin Bearse is named who removed to Cornwall, Nova Scotia. Andrew Bearse of Halifax, Plymouth county, raaiTied Margaret Dawes of East Bridewater, 1736.

There were others of the name in Halifax. It is probable that James, son of Austin, removed to that town. GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF BARNSTABLE FAMILIES.
