Note: No burial record has been found for John, but he lived in Plaistow, NH when he made his will, and his death was recorded in neighboring Salem, NH; he is therefore likely buried with his wife in one of the ancient cemeteries in one of these towns. His New Hampshire death records are transcribed copies that give an erroneous date of 7 March 1759, which is impossible since he made his will on 17 June 1759. It was proved 4 Jan 1760, so he likely died in the last half of 1759.
