Excerpts from "John North of Farmington Connecticut and His Descendants"

John North sailed from London at the age of 20 in the Susan and Ellen and landed at Boston April 16, 1635.

There is a mystery surrounding John North's marriage. Did he marry twice? There is no authentic record. He was married before leaving Ipswich, for his first child was born there in 1641. But the vital records of that town contain no births or marriages of any Norths or Birds. Most records state that his wife was Hannah, daughter of Thomas Bird. In the distribution of the latter's estate, August - September, 1662, portions were set to Mary Northe and to Hannah Scott, again mentioned March 3, 1663, as good wife Northe and Hannah Scott. From this statement is probably drawn the conclusion in the "Goodwin and Morgan Ancestral Lines," by F.F. Starr, that mary Bird was John North's second wife, and that Hannah was probably the first wife of Edmund Scott. Savage does not give the name of Edmund Scott's first wife and says his second wife was Elizabeth, widow of Thomas Upson. John North's oldest daughter was named Mary. None bore the name Hannah, but both names occur among his granddaughters.
No satisfactory explanation being obtainable from this meagre information, it perhaps strengthens the reliability of the various old family records, which state that Hannah Bird was John North's wife.

John North died early in 1691-2, aged 76 years. Though he is supposed to have been buried in Farmington, his grave cannot be found. His eill was taken Feb. 12, 1692, by JohnThompson, Sr., and John Orton.
