  • Note:
    Jeremiah became a mariner and commanded a ship trading between Boston and London. He resided in Boston and was lost at sea. By the will of his elder brother Daniel, the Hingham patriarch, it appears, that the estate of Jeremiah had descended in part to that testament. Perhaps the remainder was accorded to his wife, Elizabeth, the widow of John Wilkie and his daughter Elizabeth.
    His wife, in her will, makes mention of her daughter, Elizabeth Condy, and grandson, Jeremiah Condy, and sister, Martha Muzer in Redrif, near London.
