We know Ann ___ Flint Southwick died between May 28, 1668 when she wrote her will and August 13, 1668 when it was proved in court. I'm not sure who Ann or Alice Williams is who died in 1700.

Ann Flint mother of John Southwick?

Most of these references show that Ann Flint is the mother of John Southwick Jr. I was unable to add her as mother because her death date is listed as 1668, and all sources seem to show that John was born Jan 1669. I think Ann's death date was chosen as 'before Aug 13, 1668' because of her listed will which states "Proved in Ipswich court Aug 13, 1668". Couldn't that actually mean that the will was submitted to the court on that date, not the date she died? I think Ann Flint's death should be listed as 'after Jan 1669'.

Yes and no. Submitted to the court and proved are the same terms. They both are saying she was dead by this date.

What's the source for son John's birth date? Is it an original town/church record?
posted by M Cole
Cochoit-2 Joe Cochoit
The birth date of your John Southwick Jr does not appear in the vital records, and the January 1669 date is almost certainly wrong. Mary Lovering Holman FASG gives his birth date as "About 1666."
posted by Joe Cochoit
M Cole
That works better with the birth date of his first child, as he would then be 21 at marriage.

I also found this agreement between the children of Thomas Flint and John Southwick regarding conflict over her will. Dated Nov 1668 (Recorded 4m 1669). https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9ZZ-BDXG?i=543&wc=MCBG-MNG%3A361613201%2C361847101&cc=2106411

Also, found another deed signed by the son John regarding his father's estate dated 27 March 1685. I assume that means he would have to be 21 by that date?

Cochoit-2 Joe Cochoit
Good find Marina. It is good evidence that he was almost certainly age 21 at the time of signing the deed, and it is fair to say John Southwick Jr was born about 1664. This fits well with Ann getting remarried soon after her first husband's death in 1663 (as was most common).
posted by Joe Cochoit
Cochoit-2 Joe Cochoit
I've changed the birth date of John Southwick Jr based on your deed, added some notes and references, and added Ann as his mother. I believe everything makes since now and is consistent with the records.

John Southwick married Sarah Burnett at Salem on February 3, 1669 [3: 12 m: 1668] so a son John born in 1669 is likely the child of John and this Sarah.

When his estate was settled in 1672, Sarah was his widow. Widow Sarah also stated that as nothing was provided for youngest child Sarah ...

The source on his profile Genealogy of the Descendants of Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick of Salem, Mass is riddled with errors .

It shows he had children John, Isaac and Isaac 2 with Hannah, after Hannah's death, and no Sarah 'youngest child' shown there . No children by Sarah Burnett.

These children are all recorded at Salem, Isaac, Isaac, Sarah with mother Sarah Burnett. John's birth is not recorded. I would not rely on any information in that text, unless it can be confirmed in a reliable source.

PS Isaac 1 birth record November 1669, so John would not have been born that same year unless he was a twin and not recorded.

Stevens-2498 Sara (Stevens) Patton
The process of proving a will is when witnesses to the writing of the will testify in a court of law that it is the actual will of the deceased. It is then accepted as a valid public document to be the true last testament of the deceased. It is only done AFTER the person who wrote the will is deceased. Therefore the date a will is proved tells us the person is deceased but not the exact day she/he died. In this case, Ann died before Aug 13, 1668. Ann makes no mention of any Southwick children in her will as she leaves everything to her Flint children. Are you sure she is the mother of John Southwick, Jr.???

Followup: checking NEHGS shows that m. date to be very muddy, so simply placing it after the death of Thomas Flint seems the wisest option.
posted by Christopher Childs
Childs-1516 Christopher Childs
Absence of any date for the m. to John Southwick leads to a confusing order of husbands. The 1881 Southwick genealogy shows a m. date of 12 May 1668 (typo yields "1568"); at the very least, I suggest dating the m. as "after 15 Apr 1663" [1st husband's death date] so the two husbands will appear in the correct order. Also suggest placing the m. at Salem (can be marked uncertain) as that was the Southwick family place of residence. Concerns/objections?

Birth date changed from 1620 to 1623 due to FAG error. Both are estimated dates. So I left the change, but if anyone has a good reason to leave it 1620, we can change it back.

Carol,

Ann Southwick was not the name of Thomas Flint's wife. As far as I can find, the maiden name of his wife Ann is not known. After Thomas died, widow Ann Flint married John Southwick. Could you please change her LNAB to Unknown? Thanks, Vic
