Savage's _Gene. Dictionary_ says *this* about the children of Thomas
Buckminster:
BUCKMINISTER, ... THOMAS, Scituate, perhaps gr.s. of that Thomas,
whose Almanac, comput. for 1599, in his 67th yr. is now bef. me, rem.
to Boston, where on the ch. rec. of his adm. 4 Oct. 1645, "upon let. of
dism. from the ch. of Scituate" (his w. Joan being rec.the same day),
he is call. laborer; but the spell. in both cases is as in our day. Yet
it is strange that Deane omits the name. He liv. at what is now
Brookline, prob. worship. at Roxbury, where Hannah, bapt. 28 June 1646,
may have been his d. and have d. young. He was freem. 1646, and d. 28
Sept. 1656; in his will of 2 Sept. pro. 23 Nov. in that yr. ment. w.
Joanna, s. Zechariah, ds. Elizabeth w. of Thomas Spowell, Mary, w. of
Henry (as Barry thinks was his name) Stevens, Dorcas, of Clement
Corbin, or Corbett, s. Thomas, Joseph, and Jabez, d. Spowell's two ch.,
d. Stevens's two ch., d. Corbin's ch., Zechary's ch. and, last, d.
Sarah. A s. Lawrence, prob. the eldest, had made his will, 27 Nov.
1645, bound to sea, perhaps d. bef. ret. as it was pro. 4 July after.
He is presum. from it to have been unm. See Geneal. Reg. III. 178.
Dorcas had m. 7 Mar. 1655, the same day with her br. Zechariah; and
Sarah m. 30 Sept. 1657, John Lawrence. Jabez was prob. m. and d. Sept.
1686. The wid. m. 1 Sept. 1661, Edward Garfield of [[vol. 1, p. 287]]
Watertown.
And the Boston marriage records show:
"Clement Corbet & Dorcas Buckmaster daughter of Thomas Buckmaster of
Muddy River were married 7th -- 1st month [1655] by Capt. Humphery
Atharton."
