Son of John & Rebecca (Tucker) Fenno. Married at Milton, June 25, 1690, Rachel Newcomb. They had nine children.
________________________________
John Fenno, 2nd child and eldest son of John Fenno (1), was born in Milton, August 29, 1665. He was a farmer and lived in that part of Stoughton now Canton, where he died April 23, 1741.
The house he built in 1694 is standing-a big-chimneyed red house with numerous outbuildings, on Farm street, south side of Porkipog pond. The land, five hundred acres, was bought by his father in 1694. John Fenno seems to be the only one of the brothers who settled in Canton.
In 1695, he was chosen on committee on bounds by Dorchester, and was surveyor of highways in 1704 and 1709. In 1716 his house is represented on a plan as having two stories-a rarity in those days-and indicates he was possessed of more than average property.
At the organization of the precinct, he was chosen assessor, and it also appears to have been his duty to keep the boys in order in the meeting house.
June 25, 1690 he married Rachel Newcomb, of Braintree, who died October 16, 1750
