Marriage to David Spear: 27 Jan 1725 - Hingham, Plymouth County, Massachusetts

Marriage to Samuel Webb: August 11, 1726 - Weymouth, Norfolk County, Massachusetts

".from: Samuel Adams Webb Jr.

"Samuel Webb, immigrant ancestor, was born in Redriff, near London, England, December 25, 1696, son of Captain Samuel Webb, who was in the service under the reign of Queen Anne, and who was lost at sea in 1708. He was left an orphan, his mother having died in 1706, two years before his father, and he was "bound out" to learn his trade. His master or guardian did not allow him as much liberty as he desired and in 1713 he ran away, taking passage on a ship for America. Where he went first on reaching this country is uncertain. It is likely that he followed the sea for a time. In an account of him written by his grandson, Seth Webb, it is stated that he landed in Rhode Island and was taken into the family of Mr. Mclntyre, a blacksmith, of Tiverton, Rhode Island, and there learned his trade. While his name is not found in the town records of Tiverton, there is no reason why it should be there, for he was a minor. The town records contain records of birth, marriage, death, elections to public office, etc.
~~1st Marriage: The first public record of him is in Braintree and Weymouth, giving his marriage September 15, 1721, to SUSANNA, born in Weymouth, January 14, 1702-03, died there December 22, 1724, daughter of John and Susanna (Porter) Randall.
~~2nd Marriage: He married (second), August 11, 1726, BETHIAH (Farrow) Spear, born at Hingham, November 29, 1704, died at Little Isle of Holt, November 30, 1770, daughter of John and Persis (Holbrook) Farrow, of Ilingham, and widow of David Spear, of Braintree.
These marriages were performed by Rev. Nehemiah Hobart of the Cohasset parish and are recorded in the Weymouth town records.
Samuel Webb may have been distantly related to the other Webbs of Braintree and Weymouth. It is a curious coincidence that he should choose for his residence on leaving Rhode Island the same town in which Richard Webb settled as early as 1640, but a mile or so from the home of Christopher Webb, of Braintree. But a thorough search shows that he was not a direct descendant of any of the pioneers of this name. There is no reason to doubt the family record of his birth in England. About 1730 Webb moved away from Weymouth, leaving his sons Samuel and Thomas with their grandfather,. John Randall, who was chosen guardian for the son Samuel, March 14, 1736, according to the Suffolk probate records. The history of Deer Isle states that he once lived in the vicinity of Salem, Massachusetts. He was in that part of Falmouth now Westbrook in 1740. The history of Gorham states that he was in Boston in 1744. He moved to what is now Windham in 1745 and settled on home lot No. 23. He was a blacksmith there and the first schoolmaster. He served as a soldier in the Indian wars of 1747-48 and in 1757. He probably moved from Windham to North Yarmouth about 1760, and about 1764 to Little Isle of Holt. After the death of one of his sons in 1784 he moved to Deer Isle, where he died February 15, 1785.
~~Burial of Samuel's 1st wife. Susanna:
In the burying ground of North Weymouth, Massachusetts, is a large granite monument erected by his descendants over the spot \where his first wife lies buried, and upon which is the following inscription : "Samuel Webb, son of Samuel Webb, born in London, England, 1606, died in Deer Isle, Maine, Feb. 15, 1785." Other family names are inscribed thereon, including that of his first wife.
