He died in his seventy-fourth year, and was buried in the church of St.Bartholomew the Great, where his handsome monument still remains.

He left a daughter and two sons, both of the latter distinguished physicians.
From John, the elder, sprung the American branch of the family.

His son, John, Jr., born in Hempstead, England, sailed to America in the ship Hercules, from that port, April 16, 1634, when he was twenty-seven years old.

He settled in Portsmouth, R.I., and became a land-owner, an innkeeper and an office-holder.

His five children who survived infancy left forty-three children.
