"Ancestors and Descendants of John Fearing" James &/or"The Fearing Tree: it's branches and twigs.." by Arlene Fearing

Question

book printed in 2010.

Working on the profile of John Fearing-128. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fearing-128 a Puritan Great Migration profile.

I don't have access to this publication, and I am wondering if it gives sourced facts that differs from the other sources gathered, or from the data and biography I have written?

*Also 2005 book by Jeri James, "Ancestors and Descendants of John Fearing 1612/13 - 1665 of Hingham, Massachusetts" (Riverton, Utah. 2050).  This book is listed as a source in the Great Migration Directory p. 113.

*edited to indicate correct book that is listed in the directory.

edited to update "question in one sentence"  2 books to look up

Cheryl, I checked at my local LDS Family History Center and it seems both are only accessible from the Salt Lake FHC. So hopefully someone pipes up who has a hard copy or easy access to SLC.

Answer 1

Cheryl--

I have a little for you.  James Sprague married married Elizabeth Fearing, in Hingham, Mass., May 8, 1702. She was born in Hingham Jan. 25, 1678/79. Elizabeth was the daughter of Israel and Elizabeth (Wilder) Fearing. (Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Vol. 18, Part 1, Family of Richard Warren, 3rd Edition, p. 74. Plymought Mass., General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 2004.  Hereafter Warren Family.)  No underlying sources are cited.  I believe John and Margaret Fearing were the parents of Israel Fearing I cannot now document that, however.

Elizabeth Sprague (a daughter of James and Elizabeth) was born in Hingham on Aug. 15, 1704.  She married Bejamin Willson, Jr. (born Nov. 21, 1695 in Hingham.) One of their children was Ezekiel (born May 11, 1744 in Rehoboth, Mass.)  Although I have not checked recently, I believe that you can find these facts (and perhaps the underlying sources) in Warren Families (Vol. 18, Part 2).

What I have from there hopscotches from Wilison (an l was dropped), to Black, to Boyington, to Spangler, to McNicol, which probably is not useful to you.
