5. MARG.AMST BARET married in England, about the year 162j , Si- mon Huntington, where were born to her tnree sons and one daughter. In 1653, the fcxriiily sailed for New England, but in approaching the^e shores the hu&band and father died of tne smallpox and was buried at sea.
Mrs. Huntington located with ner children in Roxbury, colony of Tiassachusetts Bay, as ib evidenced oy the church record of that place, in tne handwriting of Rev. John Eliot, which is as follo-vs:
"Margaret Huntington, widow, cune in 1633. Her husband died by the way of smallpox . Sne brought cnildren witn ner".
Mrs. Huntington remained in Roxbury about a year, when she married circa 1634, for her second husband and as his second wife, Thomas Stoughton. He came to New England a widower, probably in the ship "I'tary and John", ;ind located in Dorchester, Mass., in 1630. He was of an exrellent family, being a descendant in the seventh generation of Thomas Stoughton, of Stoughton, count;/- Surry, England. He became a constable hy appointment of court in Septem- ber, 1630, and in the exercise of his duties sO-'-em-ai^^ed the mar- riage of Clement Briggs witn Joan Allen, in March, 1631. For this act, which evidently exceeded his authority, he was fined five pounds, but tne tax was subsequently remitted. As pioneers of that place, tne members of the f&nily removed to Windsor, Connecticut, in 1635, where Thomas Stougnton bore the gentleman's title of Mr.,

and wi.ere rie beccsj'ie a leading and valuea citizen of town and col- ony, ne was commissioned an ensign in tne military service in Feb- ruar;'', Iu3u , <ind a lieutenant in April, 1640, and served be-"-eral times, as a deputy to the General court of tiie colony betvifeen the years 1639 and 1648.
July 14, I64i>, Thomas St ought on the elder (as he is called on the Windtior records} deeded to "Thomas, my son", all of nis rettl estate in tnat place, excepting his x^ome lot, the well court, the court before the house and the orchard, wj^ich he evidently reserv- ed for his own Ube. Soinetime afterward, however, he sold to his son Thomas all of this reserved property upon codition that the grantes would provide suitable maintenance for his father and moth- er-in-law" diiring their natural lives.
