Descendants of William Towne

Notes


31. Isaac Esty

Isaac Jr was lived in Topsfield records as a husbandmen. He inherited the "House on the Hill" from his parents. He remained in Topsfield until he died. Some of his children moved south to Stoughton, MA with their uncle Joseph, His son Richard emigrated to the Maugerville Settlement in Nova Scotia (Now New Brunswick)


Abigail Kimball

Daughter of John Kimball and Mary Bradstreet. There is conflicting information about a subsequent marriage to a Mr William Poole April 25, 1718. In the Gay Estey Bangs account has Abigail Kimball being married to William Poole on the same date as Abigail Stanley Wife of Joshua son on Mary Town and Isaac is noted to be married to William Poole. The marriage to Abigail Stanley seems unlikely as Joshua and Abigail moved south to Rochester MA before that time and had children in Rochester. This error persists however because of the reliance on the Bangs article..


32. Joseph Estey

Joseph Estey, his wife Jane and their children moved to Dorchester MA in the late 1600's in an area which in now in Canton, MA. He is buried in Canton Corner Cemetary. He was a road surveyor. There is no indication whether or not this was a paid postion or an elected postion. The reason for the move southward from Topsfield is not clear, whether the horrific incidents involving his mother were a factor is not known. His Brother Isaac's daughter Rebecca, and Children of Brother Benjamin also relocated to Canton MA. There are many direct decendants still living in the Canton area.
