| 3. |  Gov. John Winthrop, Jr. (2.Mary2, 1.Thomasine1) was born on 12 Feb 1606 in Groton, MA; died in 1676; was buried on 10 Apr 1676 in Kings Chapel Burying Ground, Boston, Suffolk Co, MA. Notes:
Born at Groton, in Suffolk, February 12, 1605/06, he was fitted for college in the celebrated Free Grammar School founded by Edward VI. at Bury St. Edmunds, where he learned to think and act for himself, as every boy of spirit must when away from home and thrown upon his own resources. p.1...(Sketch)
He had now entered the seventieth year of a life which had
involved unremitting exertion and much exposure to severity of climate. It is not therefore to be wondered at that the pressure of physical infirmities had begun to bear heavily upon him, but when, for the third time, he asked permission to relinquish the helm to a younger pilot, proposing to recruit his health by a voyage to England,'(^2) he was met by such a chorus of remonstrance that he resigned himself to die in harness, nor had he long to wait. In September, 1675, he proceeded to Boston to attend a protracted session of the Commissioners of the United Colonies. In March, 1676, when preparing to return to Hartford, he took cold, became feeble, and on the 10th of April was laid beside his father in what is now King's Chapel grave-yard. - "Sketch of John Winthrop the Younger" p.58
