Generation No.2

John2 Tarbell (Thomas1) was probably born at Watertown about 1654, although there is no record of his birth. He married at Salem, Oct. 25, 1678, Mary Nurse, daughter of Francis and that unfortunate Rebecca Nurse who was hanged for witchcraft in 1692. They lived at Salem Village, now Danvers, in which parish the Salem Witchcraft delusion first appeared. As a result of the persecutions, John Tarbell and his wife and a few others, mostly relatives of the accused, withdrew from communion and attendance at the Salem Village church. This was the beginning of the remonstrance of the people against Rev. Samuel Parris as their minister, which resulted in his dismissal from that church in 1697. In this movement, John Tarbell bore a prominent part.

Before his marriage, and while living in Charlestown, John enlisted as a soldier in King Philip's War. For his services, his heirs, represented by his son, Cornelius, received in 1728 a grant of land in Narragansett No.3, now Amherst, NH. John2 was style "Ensign." He died at Salem Village, Mar. 25, 1715, in his 62nd year. His will, made two days before his death, names his wife Mary and all of his children, his three daughters being then unmarried; also he left a small sum to Mary, wife of James Smith. Her maiden name being Tarbell, she may have been his niece, daughter of Thomas2 Tarbell, although no relationship is expressed in the will. Mary, widow of John, lived to a good old age, and died June 28, 1749, in her 90th year.
