Notes:

It is supposed that he was bom in England and baptized in the parish of St. Lawrence, Reading, Berkshire, England, April 10, 1686; that he came over with his mother prior to 1642, and resided at Barnstable, first, at his ``Coggin´s Pond lot, until 1702; when he removed to Hamblin´s Plains, West Barnstable; where his son Ebenezer occupied the old homestead, which he afterwards sold to Col. John Gorham.
Mr. Gustavus Hinckley, of Barnstable, writes in 1894, that the site of his house on his father´s Coggin´s Pond lot is well known; it having been owned and occupied by three generations of Gorham; a modern house was built about forty years ago over the old cellar. Mr. Otis says, that he lived all his life in Barnstable; but David Hamblen says, he died in Tisbury, May 3, 1718. He was a farmer, an exemplary member of the church and a good citizen. He married Mary Dunham, November 20, 1662. She was born 1642. Otis says, she was probably the daughter of Dea. John, of Plymouth; but Prof. Charles E. Hamlin, who gave considerable attention to this branch of the family, and from which he descended, says: she was daughter of John, of Martha´s Vinyard. Perhaps Otis and Prof. Hamlin referred to the same individual. Mr. Hinckley says, her grave is about sixty rods distant from the site of the house, on their Coggin´s Pond lot, and the slate headstone bears the inscription: ``Mary, wife of James Hamlin, died April ye l9th 1715, in ye 73d year of her age.´´
James Hamblen is expressly named in his father´s will, dated January 13, 1683. David Hamblen states that his children, Mary, Eleazar and Experience,, are expressly referred to in his will, as being then deceased in 1717; and infers that his children Elisha; John and Benjamin were also dead, from the fact that neither of them, nor any child of theirs is mentioned in the will.
His name frequently appears in the Colonial records: May 29, 1670, James Hamblen, Juni., in list of Freemen. June 5, 1671, James Hamblen, Juni., app. to inspect the Ordinaries (Taverns) in Barnstable. June 6, 1682, James Hamblen, Junir., Member of Grand Enquest.

Notes:

Otis called her a daughter of Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth. Prof. Charles E. Hamlin said she was a daughter of John Dunham of Martha's Vinyard. Andrews says perhaps they both referred to the same person. Various reports say she died at age 72, age 73, or in her 73d year. Andrews says "Mr. Hinckley says her grave is about sixty rods distant from the site of the house, on their Coggin's Pond lot, and the slate headstone bears the inscription: 'Mary, wife of James Hamlin, died April ye 19th 1715, in ye 73d year of her age.'"

Notes:

SP May, p 41- Paul Sears took the oath of "Fidellyte" in 1657, held a commission as a captain in the militia, and made claim for a horse lost in Narragansett war, but I find no record of his services. October 30, 1667, he was one of the grand jury, in an inquest held on the child of Nicholas Nickerson. He was one of the original proprietors of lands in Harwich, between Bound and Stony brooks, known as "Wing's Purchase," as appears by deed of John Wing et als., to Paul Seers et als., dated April 16,1677, recorded at Plymouth.
The early town records of Yarmouth were destroyed by fire at the burning of the town clerk's house in 1674, and from the succeeding volume the first twenty-six pages are gone, and others mutilated and worn. The names and dates of birth of his children have been supplied from various sources, and are believed to be correct.
I annex copies of the will and inventory of Paul Sears;- the will is signed with his mark, as is also the inventory of John Burge's estate, rendered by him and recorded Barns. Rec II, 1701, p130. He left property valued at L 467 03 03, to his "loving wife Deborah," and to his sons, "Samuel, Paul and John;" that to his sons being charged with a payment to "their brothers, Richard and Daniel, towards their purchase of lands at Manamoy;" having given to his daughters, (whose names are unfortunately omitted) "such parts or portions as I was able or thought fitt."
In the ancient cemetery in Yarmouth lies a stone slab, removed from its place to make room for the granite monument to the Searses, which bears the following inscription, surmounted by a cherub's head and scroll work: Here lyes the Body of Paul Sears, who Departed this life February ye 20th 1707, in ye 70th year of his age." It is the oldest dated memorial in the cemetery. His wife was doubtless laid by his side, but there is no stone to her memory.
George Willard, the father of Paul Sears' wife, was the son of Richard and Joane (Morebread) W., of Horsmonden, Kent, Eng., where he was bap. Dec. 4, 1614. He settled at Scituate for a time, removing thence it is said to Maryland or Gorgeane Maine. There is some reason to believe that his wife was Dorothy Dunster, dau. of Henry D., of Baleholt, near Bury, Lanc., sister to Eliz'h D., who m. his bro. Simon Willard; and to Rev. Henry D., Pres. of Harvard College. [See Willard Mem., 1858, p. 339]
Paul Sears was the first to adopt the present spelling of SEARS.

Notes:

John was the third and youngest son of Rev. John Mayo. He is supposed to have come to Eastham in 1644, living there until his death.
His name appears upon the records of that town, the first record being that of his marriage in 1650/51. On 22 May 1655 he was on the list of legal voters. “John Mayo of ye town of Eastham” yoeman, for 53 sh. sold to “Jona Sparrow Jr. of ye town of Eastham all my marsh and sedge ground within ye town of Eastham.” This land was partly bounded by land of James Mayo. Witnessed by Thomas Mayo and John Mayo Jr., dated 14 August 1703.
From the oldest Eastham Town book we find “April 27, 1659. A parcel of land granted to Mr. Richard Higgins near Youngs Cove (commonly so-called) near Mr. Southworth’s and Mr. John Mayo’s,” also “a parcel of meddow granted to the mill possessed by Richard Higgins, lying in a place commonly called Billingsgate meddow lying next to John Mayo.”
He was appointed 3 June 1656 surveyor of highways, constable in 1658 and 1671. In 1657 he was on the list of those who took the “Oath of Fidelite.”
At the Court of June 9, 1665 he is charged with two gallons of the liquers brought into Eastham on the 28th of Sept. 1664. In 1667 and again in 1676 he served on a coroner’s inquest. The Court of June 10, 1662 sentenced an Indian from Nantucket named Tetannett, to be publicly whipped for stealing from “John Mayo of Eastham.”
Together with Samuel Freeman he was appointed on 14 Nov. 1676 to oversee the will of Nicholas Snow, deceased.
John Mayo was interested both in fish and fish oil as the following indicates. First at the court of Oct. 1686 John Mayo, thru his attorney, Captain Jonathan Sparrow, defended his interests in the mackeral which had been caught with “saine at Cape Cod” as contrary to the order of the Court in that case provided and which had been seized as by order of the Court-and second, a letter dated Boston, Jan. 6, 1689/90 from Samuel Sewell to John Mayo:
“When you were last att my house you spoke of returning hether this winter Laden with oyll if the Ice did not hinder; and the season has been such with us that we conjucture you allso have your freedom in that respect. And if so, I would Intreat you to make what hast you Conveniently can to me.

Govr Bradstreett is pretty well ffreed of his tormenting paines, takes his rest, We hope in order to Recovery. My service to your self and Mr. Treat. Sir, your friend and servtt”
He undoubtedly made frequent trips to Boston as he receipted at various times for the regular payments which the Second Church at Boston made to his father between the time the latter gave up his ministry in 1673 until his death in 1676.
He took part in the Colonial Wars and was a soldier in King Phillip’s War under the command of Captain Samuel Moseley, from December 20, 1675, probably riding his (father’s) horse which was killed. (New England Historic and Genealogical Register, 36: 182) - Rev. John Mayo and his Descendants, Jean (May) Mayo-Rodwick 6th ed.

John Mayo died in 1706, his will was dated June 1702. The bequests were as follows:
“to my loving wife Hannah Mayo my whole estate both real and personall during her widowhood toward her maintenance after debts & Legasys are paid onely my Housing & lands not to be sold but for Nessessity when other estate is gone: and if nessessity Require for to sell ye Housing & Lands for my wives maintenance, then my will is that my son Thomas Mayo shall have ye Refusel of sd Housing and Lands, further my will is that after my decease my son Thomas shall have that small Pcell of Land which I bought of Thomas Cole. Furthermore If by the Providence of God my wife should marry again then my will is that she shall have a third part of my movable estate as it then is & no more.

The value of the estate, according to the inventory taken by Sam’l Freeman Jr., Jere. Bigford, Elisha Eldredge and Joseph Atkins on 28 Oct. 1706 amounted to 64 pounds, 3 shillings and 8 pence and consisted of cattle 5 pounds, 10 shillings, debts 35 pounds and household effects and clothes. Daniel Mayo, as executor, pronounced the inventory correct.34
