John Marchant may have been born in the Barbados Islands, "admitted as a
freeman in Newport Rhode Island on June 2, 1638, removed to Mt Wollaston,
Braintree, MA where on Feb 24, 1639 he was granted 8 acres for two heads, that
is, himself and another male. He brought with him his wife, Sarah, who died on
December 3, 1638. At the same time a William Marchant (his father or brother) is
found at Watertown in 1641, and John moved there in 1643, and is mentioned as
living there in 1645. Once more John moved, this time to Yarmouth, MA some time
before 1648, as on June 7, 1648 he is chosen Constable of the town, since being
chosen constable means one has had established residency. He died prior to 1670.
