Henry Kimball was born about 1656, in Wenham, Essex, Massachusetts. There he resided until about 1675, when he removed to Haverhill.[1]
On December 14, 1677, he was united in marriage with Hannah Marsh. Their children were:[1][2]

It is said that his wife, Hannah, and his only son, John, were killed by Indians on March 15, 1696-7, at Haverhill.[2][1]
He died in December 1697, in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony.[2] Morrison gives his date of death as 1698.[1] He did not leave a will.[3] The inventory of his estate was appraised at £24.10.2 on May 22, 1699. Samuel Watts of Haverhill had been appointed administrator.[4]
Research Notes
This profile previously had a death date of December 14, 1697. If there is any credible source for this date, it should be added back; one might question whether the date was derived in error from the date of his marriage, December 14, 1677.
