John Daggett1
M, #592, b. circa 1600, d. before 4 June 1673
Birth* | John was born circa 1600 in England, date estimated. Surname sometimes Doggett.1,2 |
Marriage* | His first marriage was to Hepzibah Brotherton before 1626 at England. Hepzibah signed as a witness on 3 Mar 1660 as Hepzibah Daggett; marriage year is based on birth year of first child listed in Banks; this means Hepzibah & John married in England.3 |
BioNote* | Biography Note of before 1626: Banks writes, "Of his (John Daggett) first wife we know nothing definite, but the author is of the opinion that the Hepzibah Daggett who signed as witness March 3, 1660, to the sale of the "Farm" from Wampamag to John Daggett was then his wife. Banks footnotes, "A guess may be hazarded that her maiden name was Brotherton. This appears as a baptismal name in the Thomas Daggett branch as early as 1686, and is used in the Joseph Daggett branch after the intermarriage with Thomas Martin in 1715. Brotherton Martin continued as a family name in Nova Scotia, whither this branch emigrated, until recent years. Hester Brotherton was a passenger for Virginia in the Transport in 1635." Banks also notes in the Family Genealogies section, p. 126, "The author repeats his suggestion that it was Brotherton as this name was perpetuated in three widely separated branches of Daggett descendants."4 |
Immigration* | John immigrated to Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony, New England, before 19 October 1630, with Governor Winthrop.5,6,1 |

Marriage* | His second marriage was to Bathsheba Lnu on 29 August 1667 at Plymouth, Plymouth Colony, New England.7,2 |
Estate-Will* | John Daggett left a will dated 17 May 1673, appointing his friend Isaac Robinson and son-in-law John Eddy overseers. His wife was an unnamed heir though she was named in the inventory. Named heirs included his sons John, Joseph and Thomas and daughters Elizabeth and Hepzibah.8,9 |
