According to the (NOURSE) NURSE family records, there are three John (NOURSE) NURSE's. (1) John d.1719 m.1 Nov 1672, Elizabeth SMITH b.5 Jun 1662 d.22 Oct 1683. dau of John SMITH. (2.) John Jr. d.1719 m.17 Aug 1677 Elizabeth VERY d.1677 dau of Samuel & Alice VERY. (3) John Jr. b.12 Oct 1673 m.1st Elizabeth GALE 01 Jun 1678 dau of John and Elizabeth SPRING. 2nd Elizabeth ?.
John (NOURSE) NURSE (3) is supposedly son of John and Elizabeth (NOURSE) NURSE of SALEM, MA and John (NOURSE) NURSE (1) and (2) are supposedly sons of Francis (NOURSE) NURSE and Rebecca TOWNIE of Salem.
There is also a fourth John (NOURSE) NURSE b. 27 Aug 1701 d. 2 Aug 1785 m. Bathsheba RUGG b.26 Oct 1703 d.24 Jul 1792 of FARMINGHAM, MA.
Children of Francis & Rebecca (NOURSE) NURSE, are listed as John b. 1719, John Jr. b.1719, Rebecca m. 15 April 1669 to Tleomas Preson, Samuel m.15 Apr 1669 to Elizabeth SMITH., Mary m.25 Oct 1678 to John Farbell d.1715; Francis b. 3 Feb 1661 d. 5 fEB 1716 m.Sarah; Sarah m. Jul 1700, Michael BOWDEN; Benjamin m. 1st Fhoneagnil JAMESON 16 Feb 1718 & 2nd Elizabeth MORSE, a widow.
I am not sure how these John's are really related but I believe Francis & Rebecca (NOURSE) NURSE are the parents of John (NOURSE) NURSE m. 1672 to Elizabeth SMITH who in turn are parents to John Jr. (NOURSE) NURSE m. to Elizabeth Gale SPRING who in turn are parents to John (NOURSE) NURSE born 27 Aug 1701.
The (NOURSE) NURSE records also show (3) John Jr. m. to another Elizabeth.
