Hester (Wormall) Dunham's father was Joseph Wormall. I don't have much information about my 9x great grandfather. He settled originally at Rowley in Essex County and moved to Boston where Hester was born.in 1648. But by 1651 he had left Boston to live in Scituate, Ma.
This is how he disposed of his Boston holdings:
17 2 1650
Joseph Wormall of Boston granted to Henry Sandis of Boston his house & wharfe in Boston —'Scituat neere to Val: Hills house lately purchased of Leonard Buttles, & this was by way of mortgage, wth pviso that if he pay vnto the sd Henry twenty foure pounds eighteene shillings nine pence in merchantable wheate at price current at or before the last of 7her. next then this grant to be void, otherwise the sd Henry to receiue the rents of the said house & wharfe & the same to sett or sell, paying himselfe the aforesaid summe wtt due damages & returning: the overplus to the sd Wormall. This was dated & acknowledged 16(2) 1650 before mr Wm Hibbins.
This mortgage was discharged to mr Jeremy houchin as Administrator to the estate of Henry Sandis and by him desired to be Cancelled. 27. 11mo. 1651:
Edward Rawson Recorder.

He and his wife Mariam had four children: Mark, Josias, Sarah and Hester.

Thank you for this. Joseph is my 10th great grandfather and his son Josiah is my 9th great grandfather. I am digging around, trying to find info on how/when the Wormall’s (now Wormell in my family) came over from England.
