Historical detail in NOTES

Notes from Marston Manor:John was a carpenter by trade. He was a Quaker like his cousin, William. Like William, he, too, was fined for not complying with the rules of the established church. He opted to switch rather than fight on 9 June 1640, and he was made a freema n on 2 June 1641.This is NOT "John the Mariner," ALSO of Salem, whose parents and English origins are unknown.Holman identified the parents and the relationship between John and the other MARSTONs of TMG. TMG knew him only as "John of Salem." His gravestone in Salem is very well preserved. All the descendants of John and Alice (pgs. 470-538) will be inclu ded, eventually, with the other MARSTONs of TMG as soon as time permits.Holman, Mary Lovering, "Marston English Genealogy," (1929), pgs. 36 and 39-40;Marston, Nathan Washington, "The Marston Genealogy," (1888), pgs. 467-469.Came in 1637 in the 'Rose', as servant of widow Mary MOULTON. Admitted freeman of Salem, Mass. on 02 Jun 1641 Will dated 18 Dec 1681.
