Excerpt from "Bosworth genealogy; a history of the descendants of Edward Bosworth who arrived in America in the year 1634; with an appendix containing other lines of American Bosworths." Compiled by Mary Bosworth Clarke (beginning on page 247):
John4 Bosworth, son of Jonathan3 Jr. (Jonathan2., Edward}) and Hannah (Howland), and grandson of John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland, both passengers in the Mayflower; born in Swansea, Mass., Apr. 6,1671; died in Barrington, Mass. (now R. I.), Sept. 20, 1719; married at Swansea, June 10, (or 16, both dates on record) 1702, Elizabeth, daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Toogood, born July 25, 1682; died previous to June 7, 1773 when her estate was being settled: she married second at Bristol, R. I., Feb. 18, 1723/4,James Thurber, (int. pub. in Rehoboth, Dec. 19, 1723); in July 1750 she was called "Widow Thurber," so James must have died previous to that time.
It is quite probable that John lived and died not far from the place where he was born, for in the division of his land among his sons, the house of "old Mr. Bozworth" is mentioned. This location was at a place called "Nockum" or "Nockum Hill," on New Meadow Neck. As will be seen by the map of the section of country in which these early Bosworths lived, given at the beginning of Part II, this place, originally in Rehoboth, was set off as a part of Swansea in 1668, and in 1717, shortly before John's death, was made a part of Barrington, then in Massachusetts. In 1747 this section was ceded to Rhode Island and became a part of the township of Warren and continued so until 1770, when it again became Barrington and has remained so ever since.
