  • Notes 
    • All the children of John Bisbee were baptized by Mr. Lawson, Second Church, Scituate, Mass. The old Second Church is now the First Unitarian Church of Norwell, Mass.

      In the will of Thomas Ricard, is the item, "I give unto John, son of Elisha Bisbey, all the mondy yt. is dure unto me for the bullock yt. Joseph Tilden bought of me."

      The inventory of the will included, "one cow in keeping of Elisha Bisbey, £4 18s." This was dated 14 Nov. 1648.

      In the will of Thomas Bird is the item, "unto John Bisbee, son of Elisha, 40s. to bee paid unto him one year after my decease." The will disposed of Thomas Bird's dwelling houses and land between John Bisbee's and Thomas Oldham's places. The will directed that 20s. be paid to the Church of Marshfield; the complete inventory amounted to £211 1s and was dated 8 July 1664.

      In 1704 John Bisbee granted a deed to Job Otis (Plymouth Co., Vol. 5 p. 130) and in 1715 granted a deed to Thomas Rogers (Plymouth Co., Vol. 11 p. 70).

      In the deeds of Plymouth County, Vol. 33, page 256, 23 Oct. 1728, is the following: "Isaac Thomas, Gent. for 339 pounds from John Leavitt of Hingham, cooper, land in Pembroke on Bridgewater line next to John Bisbee's."

      Also in the same deeds, Vol. 12, the following appears concerning Nathaniel Thomas of Marshfield, Esq., and Nathaniel Thomas of Plymouth : "We the said Nathaniel Thomas, Sr., and Nathaniel Thomas, Jr., for 312 pounds from John Bisbee of Marshfield (Probably No. 312), husbandman, lands in Pembroke with housing, etc."

      In the church record of the Second Church of Chirst, Pembroke, Rev. Nathaniel Ells writes: "Those in full communion with this Church before I took charge of it," included among others, Johanna Bisby (date 1704).

      The following John Bisbees were in Plymouth County at this time (1704):
      John Bisbee, born 1647, died Pembroke 1726;
      John Bisbee, Jr., born 1690, died Pembroke 1773.
      and John Bisbee 3rd, born 1714, died Pembroke. [2]
