General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Byram

---

He was an Englishman of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, whose career was a strange one. He was the son of an English gentleman of Kent, England, who left his estate and family in charge of a trustee who proved faithless. Instead of educating the lad he sent him to the West Indies in charge of a sea captain, the boy's only fortune consisting of a few gold coins sewed by his mother within his coat lining. Arriving at Barbadoes, he was sold to a planter for his passage and seven years were required to work out this indebtedness, the gold given by his mother remaining untouched. After gaining his freedom he took passage for Boston, there arriving in 1633 or 1634. In 1635 he married and settled at Weymouth, later becoming one of the proprietors of the town of Duxbury. He died in Bridgewater, Massachusetts
