January 5, 1732, John Macomber of Taunton deeded to his son Nathaniel one-third
of his home farm, one corner being at the saw mill. The same day he gave to
son Josiah one-third of the same farm.

His will, dated 28 December 1742, was probated 5 April 1748. It names wife
Lydia and children Nathaniel, Josiah, John, James, Elijah, Joseph, Elizabeth
Rounsevill, Abia and Anna. His son Elijah inherited the homestead in East

The burial ground, where rest the early generations of Macombers, is on Staples
Street not far from the Macomber farm.

The record of the family of John Macomber has been preserved in a branch of his
descendants now living in Augusta, Maine. It was, perhaps, copied from the
records of Taunton before they were destroyed by fire in 1848.
