From: "Marie Taylor"
Subject: FW: [EGGLESTON] Bigod Eggleston d. 1674 CT
     I can't even find any records that show the given name of Bigod wife was "Mary".  From every piece of information I have found so far I have concluded that Bigod was married twice and possibly 3 times considering the gaps in years between the births of some of his children.  The name of any he was married to remains anonymous.  
     I have seen records that claim his wife was Mary Talcott, Sarah Talcott or Mary Wall.  From wills of John Talcott,  Ann (Skinner) Talcott Wall, Moses Wall, and Ann's parents, William Skinner and Margery Skinner show that daughters Mary, Ann and Grace Talcott had apparently died before 1616; that Sarah Talcott had m. (William) Wadsworth & Mary Wall had m. (Martin) Aylett by 1637.  This would indicate that Bigod could not have married Mary Talcott nor Sarah Talcott as his 1st wife not Mary Wall or Sarah Talcott as his 2nd wife.  His oldest son James was b. 1612, his youngest child b. in England b. abt.1629 and he was in America by 1630.
    It has been established from Wills that James Eggleston was m. 1st to Margaret Harker, dau. of Miles Harker (who did not have a dau. named Julian(a)) and his 2nd wife was Julian(a) Frear dau. of John Frear.

2465. Miss was born about 1610 in England. She died 8 Dec 1657 in Windsor, Hartford Co., Connecticut.

A RECORD OF THE DESCENDANTS OF CAPTAIN JOHN AYERS, OF BROOKFIELD, MASS, by William Henry Whitmore, Boston: Printed by T.R. Marvin & Son, 1870. page 9,
    Capt. John Ayers was of Ipswich in 1648, and was then a tenant of John Norton's. I know nothing of his parentage, but it seems highly probable that he was accompanied hither by two of his brothers-in-law, William Lamson and William Fellows*. (*This ground for the conjecture is this. William Lamson died at Ipswich in 1659, leaving eight children. His widow Sarah wished to marry one Thomas Hartshorn, but was opposed by her brothers William Fellows and John Ayers. Now as Ayers married a Symonds, and there is noo record of any sisters of his wife who married Lamson and Fellows, it is fair to conclude that their wives were own sisters of John Ayers)
    He married Susanna, daughter of Mark Symonds, of Ipswich. This Mark Symonds, age 50 years in 1634, died 28 Apr. 1659, leaving wife Joanna, daus. Susanna Ayers, Abigail, wife of Robert Pierce, Priscilla, wife of John Warner, and had Mary, wife of Edward Chapman, who died before her father. He may possibly have been a very distant relative of the noted Samuel Symonds, of Yeldham, co. Essex, and Ipswich, Mass., though there were several families of the name in New England not known to be connected.
    John Ayers removed to Brookfield, MA, when the settlement of that place was commenced, and in Nov. 1672, sold all his rights at Ipswich, including those "belonging to my father-in-law Mark Symonds, and used by me while I was a tenant upon Mr. John Norton's farm."
    He was killed 3 Aug. 1675, with seven others, at the fight at Brookfield with the Indians. Though he had recieved large grants of land at Brookfield, some 2,000 acres, his family undoubtedly returned to Ipswich and its vicinity, the settlement having been broken up, and rendered unsafe.
    His widow presented an inventory of his estate, now recorded at Salem, on which she wrote, "I have seven sons and one daughter." Although the births of these children are not all recorded, I have been able to recover all their names without daubt, and I think to arrange them chronologically.
John, samuel, Thomas, Joseph, Edward, Mark, Nathaiel, Susanna.
