BIRTH John was born in 1625[1]
DEATH & BURIAL He died in 1693; he was 68[1].
OCCUPATION & IRONY In addition to owning a farm in the Saugus area, John was the infamous agent for the Iron Works in Saugus during the protracted legal actions between the Iron Works & the Hawkes family during the late 1600s, which culminated with John Hawkes cutting the dam[2].
