• Notes

  James was baptized in Earl Shilton on 17 August 1625, recorded as "Jacobus Pougher fill[ius] Georgii." It is probable that he immigrated with his parents to New England, landing probably in Boston for it was on February 24, 1640 that his father was granted twenty acres of land at Mount Wollaston, afterwards called Braintree. He succeeded to his father's homestead in Braintree and lived there to the end of his life. His farm was at Ship Cove, now called Quincy Neck, and he also owned land in what is now the town of Randolph. Though he followed farming, he is also described as a boatman. He was elected constable in place of John Bass, Mch., 1679-1680.
