(II) John, son of Robert Pease, the immigrant, and the only child of whom the records give us any account, was born in England, probably about 1630, for he is mentioned as having been four years old when his father came to this country. He was John Pease, of Salem, Massachusetts, and Enfield, Connecticut, progenitor of most of the New England families of that name, as well as many of those of New York and New Jersey. He married (first) Mary Goodell, who died in 1669, soon after the birth of her fifth child. Married (second) Ann. daughter of Isaac Cummings, of Topsfield, Massachusetts, and soon afterward removed to Enfield, where he died. He had five children by his first and three by his second wife : John, Robert. Mary, Abraham, Jonathan, James, Isaac and Abigail.
