  • Notes 
    • The Marshfield Memorial by M. A. Thomas, 1854, says, "John Bourne was the son of Thomas Bourne, the oldest of the Marshfield settlers. It has not been learned from whence he emigrated. However, circumstances lead us to believe that he was one of 'The Men of Kent.' His home lands were situated adjoining the estates of his sons-in-law, Josias Winslow, and Rev. Robert Waterman, to whom he gave of his land liberally. He was a large land holder in the south part of the colony. He and his wife, Elizabeth, were past life's meridian when we find them at Green Harbor." [1]
