Notes

John Webster came from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, around 1631 to Ipswich, Massachusetts, where he was made a freeman in 1635. He was a baker by trade, admitted an inhabitant of Salem in 1637 and had a grant of land. He was a witness in the Essex court in 1639 and applied for land at the Creek in 1642. He died soon after coming here, leaving four sons and four daughters. The family subsequently moved to Newbury.
