FAWER, or FOWER, BARNABAS, Dorchester, came 1635, in the James from Bristol as comp. with Rev.
Richard MATHER [see Young=s Chron. of Mass. 450], was an assessor in 1638; by w. Dinah wh. came perhaps
from Eng. with him, he had other ch. but we kn. only Eleazer, b. 18 Sept. 1642. His w. d. 9 days after; and for sec.
w. he took 10 Mar. 1643, Grace, sis. of Jonathan NEGOOSE; rem. to Boston, and d. 13 Dec. 1654; in his will, pro.
2 Feb. foll. ord. that his s. Eleazer be brought up at Mr. CHEEVER=s sch. His wid. m. John JOHNSON of
Roxbury. Great variety is exhib. in spell. this name; the rec. of Watertown, where he owned some ld. calls it
FARR; Boston ch. rec. has it FORE; Blake=s Ann. FOUR; Dr. Harris, FLOWER; but Farmer, or his corresp. made
it HAWES by mistake of the old T. ELEAZER, Dorchester, s. of the preced. m. 28 May 1662, Mary, d. of Daniel
PRESTON, had Gibson, b. 1666. He made his will 13 Nov. 1665, "bound to sea," prob. never came back. His wid.
m. it is said, Samuel JENKINS of Scituate, 6 July 1670. But I find no such person at S. Possib. it was S.J. of
Greenwich, two yrs. later. [...]
