| Shared note | Line in Record @I8370@ (RIN 8370) from GEDCOM file not recognized: PLAC Lexington, MA Was a leader in the movement to separate the town of Harvard from the town of Lancaster MA. Also, later led the movement to separate the town of Shirley from Groton, MA, and held the first town meeting in his home. Death date probably near the date that deed of ownership of his property at Town Meeting Road, Shirley, MA passed to his son John Jr. in 1765. Strong probability that there was a family burial plot on that property, with John Sr., daughter Beulah, and daughter Sarah Wilson and infant Lucy Wilson buried there.
