~~always in process~~

1. John PRESBURY (c1xxx-1648) was of Sandwich between 1641 and 1643. He dec'd and was buried there 19 May 1648. Earlier researchers provide traces that John left widow Catherine [1017], seemingly the "Katheren PRESBERRY" who m. 1649 at Sandwich [1017; 1001; 1019] Richard CHADWELLl, one of the "ten men of Saugas" to lay out the town of Sandwich. Richard CHADWELL is known of Lynn, Charlestown, New Haven, and Boston. John left dau. Mary PRESBURY, whose birth was recorded at Sandwich 1644 [1001] and who later married Lodowick HOXIE of Sandwich in 1664 [1001]. Whether by wife Katherine or another wife, John perhaps left also son John, who seems older than Mary, likely born before the elder John was known of Sandwich. The younger John m. Dorcas BESSEY, dau. Anthony BESSE of Sandwich who arrived 1635 aboard the James and was first known of Lynn. John and Dorcas resided Saco, now York Co., ME. The younger John was of Saco at the time of his dec'd.
