Marriage notes:

He finally married in 1665, no longer a young man. His wife was Martha George, daughter of John George, a chimney sweep in Charlestown, who had spent some time in jail for his staunch and vocal Baptist beliefs...

Martha and William had four children - John, Martha, William and George The Old Burying Ground, Lexington, Massachusetts - before Martha died in 1671, about the time that George was born...

William then married Mary Ball, about twenty-five years his junior. Mary’s father, John Ball, was a tailor. Her mother, Elizabeth Peirce, went insane...
