52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2019 WEEK 48: JOHN LAKIN OF GROTON, MA.

I am descended from both of the Lakin brothers. William is my 10x great grandfather through the Ames family. John is my 9x great grandfather twice over; once through his daughter Mary marrying into the Willard family, and the other through daughter Abigail marrying into the Parker family.
Again, from William Manning's article entitled "The Lakin Family of Groton" in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register:

4. John' Lakin (William2 William1) deposed in 1694, aged 67. He early settled in Groton, where he was sergeant and ensign in the military company. It seems to be an established fact that his wife was Mary Bacon, a daughter of Michael of Woburn.t She was living 22 Oct. 1701, when she acknowledged deed vol. 13, p. 58. Sergt. Lakin died 21 Mar. 1697. He had conveyed various lands by deed to his children—in 1697 (deed vol. 18, p. 579) to Joseph, his "eldest" son, and about the same time to his sons Josiah and Benjamin, and daughters Lydia Lakin, then single, and Abigail, wife of Samuel Parker. After his death the widow also conveyed various lots, one being to her daughter Lydia Shepley, then married, and another to daughter Sarah Willard, wife of Benjamin. This series of deeds is highly important, adding to the incomplete probate files.

Children:
1. John,* d. before Mar. 1696-7, leaving a widow Sarah, but clearly no children. He is only known by casual mention in deed vol. 13, p. 58, which shows that his father had established him on certain land designed to be his own property ultimately, but never formally conveyed to him. On his death, the deed explains, it was intended that his widow should enjoy said land until she remarried, but she is not later found.

ii. Mary, m. Hknry Willard, 18 July 1674, and d. after a few years. Her surname does not appear in the marriage record, but in 1744 her children sued their uncle Joseph Lakln to recover their rights in certain land,* and her marriage and paternity are made sure by the testimony of various witnesses. Deed vol. 47, p. 141, is also proof.

iii. Sarah, b. 4 Feb. 1661; m. Benjamin Willard.

iv. William, b. 12 May 1664; d. 10 Dec. 1672, "aged about nine years."

v. Abigail, b. 13 Mar. 1666-7; m. Samuel Parker.

8. vl. Joseph, b. 14 Apr. 1670.

9. vii. Benjamin, b. 6 Nov. 1672. 

10. viii. Josiah, b. 14 Sept. 1675.

ix. Lydia, m. (1) John Shbpley; m. (2) 22 Mar. 1736-7, Jonathan Boyden, former husband of her cousin Elizabeth (No. 3, x).
