Notes

George Wathen was apprenticed at the age of 14 or 15 to John Browne of Bristol, to learn the trade of joiner. This term of Apprenticeship wasto last for 8 years. George and his family were in Massachusetts. as early as 1640 when he was in possession of a house and a lot. On April 4, 1640 he was appointed as "Surveyor of Fences" in Salem, Massachusetts. On March 31, 1640/1 he was involved in a land dispute with William Pester. On May 23, 164 0/1 he was admitted to the Salem church. On June 29, 1642 he was cited for trespass against Joseph Robinson and William Browne. He died before July 20, 1644 when the inventory of his estate took place. He may have died before December 27, 1642 which is when his wife took action in another trespass case. This is based on the fact that if he was still alive he would have taken a more active role, as it is he played no role in the will. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary states that George was a blacksmith.
