  • Notes 
    • 3. John Lambert, if his deposition in November, 1677, correctly states his age, was born about 1629. Like his father, he was a fisherman, but we find very few items to inform us of his doings. In theRecords of the Court of Assistants of Massachusetts Bay (vol. 1, p. 241), under date of Nov. 12, 1683, " William Johnson being presented by the Grand Jury was brought to the barr holding vp his hand at the barr was Indicted by the name of Willjam Johnston for that he not haueing the feare of God before his eyes but Instigated by the divil Confoederating himselfe wth one John Graham & other Sea Rouers his Accomplices did together with them sometimes in the month of June in this present yeare 1683 on the high sea & neere the Coast of (Can)ady wih force of Armes pirattically assault, seize & take seuerall vessels & the Companyes belonging to them i e a certain Catch belonging to the Port of Salem John Lambert master &c after the euidences produced agl him were read Comitted to the Jury the Jury brought in their virdict they found the prisoner Wm Johnson at the barr not guilty according to Indictment", &c.

      He was administrator of Elias Wiett, lately deceased at sea, and brought in an inventory Nov. 27, 1666.

      Essex deeds show that in or before 1660 his father-in- law, Edward Gaskill of Salem, ship-carpenter, had conveyed land to John Lambert of Salem, seaman, and Lambert conveyed a part to John Loomis Jan. 28,1660, and for .£25 conveyed back the remainder to Gaskill or Gaskoyne the same day, delivery to be made April 8 following, until which time he was " to stand ye adventure of said house in case ofany casualty by fire." Oct. 7, 1664, for " six quintals of marchantable dry codfish," he bought of John Ruck, vintner, part of Ruck's land at the back side of Lambert's lot. He also bought, Oct . 14,1690, of Thomas Maule, merchant, a tract of land in the South Field, about two acres.

      His deposition in 1695 is interesting as illustrating the early method of giving physical possession of a piece of land, by plucking a twig and taking up a piece of turf, and, in some cases, by giving the door-latch to the grantee. " Deposition of John Lambert Senr & of Simon Willard both of full age that September 21 1695 wee were both defired by Mr John Ruck of Salem to goe with him & his sonn Thomas Ruck to the homestead of Jn° ALford as wee ufually caled it & there Mr Ruck Said this land has Indeed been in said Jn° Alfords pofsef ion indeed but sd he sd Alford neuer paid me for it nor I neuer gaue him a deed of it therefore sd Mr Ruck to vs bear witnefs that I doe giue this Land to my son Thomas Ruck by Turffe & Twigg & sd Mr Ruck did then Stoop downe and toake hold of a twigg in ye Garden of sd homestead & said here son Thomas I doe before thefe two men giue 3'ou pofesf ion of this Land by Turffe & Twigg & wee doe rememher it to be y* same clay that Mr Ruck gaue his sd Son Thomasan Instrument of sd Land," Acknowledged Dec. 27, 1698.

      He married, probably in Salem, Preserved, baptized Aug. 7, 1639, daughter of Edward and Sarah Gaskoyne (or, as the name soon became, Gaskon, Gaskill, &c.). July 29, 1690, " Edward Gaskin Senr of Salem, being very sick and weake in consideration of fatherly love to son-in-law John Lambert in Salem, senior, [deeds] all my now dwelling house in Salem, money, plates, Jewells, rings, debts, household stuff, apparell, &c " and " In consideration of above written deed of gift I said John Lambert engage to maintaine my father and mother in law Edward and Sarah Gaskin during life and to bury them credibly."

      He died about 1710, when, at his widow's request, administration was granted to his son Ebenezer, Mar. 10. The inventory was taken Apr. 14,1712, by Elizur Keysur and George Locke, and presented by Ebenezer Lambert, admr., amounting to £65:17:0. The " 3d Tuesday May 1715 Ebenezer Lambert adminr to Estate of John Lambert Late of Salem decd is Authorized to Sell Reall Estate to pay his Debts ", and on June 27, 1715, he sells, for j£50, to William Luscombe of Salem, the late homestead, formerly in possession of John Alford.
