Notes |
- [from Norton W. Jipson, pg. 25] JOHN1 JEPSON. who was born 1610 (see deposition Suffolk Co., Deeds 1655) birthplace and parentage unknown, d. 1687, was granted a "great lot at the Mount, for three heads, at the rate of three shillings an acre; upon the entrance of the platform or bounders thereof after surveying of it and that to be at the next towne meeting thereunto," (See Book of Possessions, page 41), was a member of the First Church of Boston, was made a citizen of the town in 1647, was by occupation a cordwainer; in 1670 was appointed sealer of leather, was fined for giving employment to John Everson, a man who had been blacklisted by the Colony. In 1676 was on a committee appointed by the general court to see that the law restricting the drinking of liquor be enforced. He owned a piece of land 42 feet wide and 155 feet long on the Mill Creek which ran from the harbor to the Mill Pond, nearly upon the line of the present Blackstone street. The Mill Creek end of this lot was occupied by a wharf and a shop adjoining same and Paddy's Alley (the present N. Centre Street) ran from Ann Street, (now North Street), to Middle Street, (now Hanover Street), directly to the wharf in a northwesterly direction, and a passage way connected this street with the street on the other side of the lot. He deeded this lot to his son JOHN* in 1685 for a consideration of eighty pounds. He also owned other land in this vicinity on both sides of the Mill Creek, his own homestead probably being located on the North East side of the "Creek," and fronted on Middle Street. Mendon was largely settled by people from Braintree and Boston and JOHN JEPSON had a 40 acre "House lot" there and lived there for a short time, the records stating that. "The 24th of March, 1664, GOODMAN JIPSON is received an inhabitant." He disposed of property there in 1673, but may have retained a portion of his land and probably owned land outside of Boston, as a deed given by his son THOMAS in 1695 conveyed all right in his father's estate, "laying and being in Boston or elsewhere." The records of King Philip's War showing that JOHN GEPSON fought in the Garrison at Mendon in 1675, probably refer to JOHN JEPSON. He was married and had one child when he arrived in Boston. He married secondly 1656 EMMA, widow of John Coddington, who d. about 1700. He died in 1687. His wife and son, JOHN were Executors of his Estate.
