John (31. II) son of Ezekiel and Elizabeth Wentworth, married (by Rev. John Pike) Martha, daughter of Richard and Grace Miller of Kittery, Me. 24 December 1703. This is the first heard of him. This wife is erroneously given by Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary to his uncle John. He was a farmer and lumber dealer. He lived in that part of Dover known as "Sligo," down the Salmon River from the village and below the present South Berwick Bridge. He owned land at the Falls and also a portion of the mill privilege. He was a surveyor of highways, 1709, 1711 and 1714 and constable in 1715. He was alive 24 December 1717, but dead before 20 July 1718. His inventory was returned by Hatevil Roberts and James Warren, 15 June, 1719. His widow, Martha, declining to administer, William Cotton was appointed administrator for property in both Maine and New Hampshire. His widow was alive as late as 3 January 1755, when she gave to her son Thomas "part of the sawmill concern" She had been admitted to the church in Dove, 20 September 1719 and afterwards dismissed to the Somersworth church (which is now extinct). There is no way of arriving at the order of birth of the following 5 children.
158 Mercy, She married Moses Butler. He (Capt. Moses Butler of Berwick, Me. who commanded a company at the taking of Louisburg,) made his will 10 September 1756, which was proved 13 December following. He will property to Mercy; to children Moses, Thomas, Charles, James, John, Elizabeth, Sara Nason, Mercy, and Love Butler. Widow Mercy was alive in 1759. A John Butler of Berwick, married 1 January, 1761, Elizabeth Tucker, and had John Jr. born 15 March 1769.
159 Damaris married _____ Brock. She was living when her uncle Paul (32) made his will, 3 February 1747/8. After all possible researches, the writer has been unable to find her husband's first name. Several Wentworths report that in olden time there were several Brocks, who professed to be related to them; among them John, Frances and Simeon. The names of the children of Damaris Brock are learned from the manuscript record of "Master Tate" which is preserved in Rollinsford, N.H. It says: Widow Damaris Brock, who was Damaris Wentworth had: Elizabeth, married John Kenny, John, Margaret, married Zaccheus Varney, Celia, William, Simeon, Martha, Frances, Sarah. William Brock who married 15 June 1772, widow Elizabeth Mason and had Elizabeth, born 23 May 1773; Martha, born 8 July 1776 and William, born 19 March 1782. Sally Brock married 10 February 1772, John Griswold. [2]
