Notes	He served as a selectman in Woburn in 1666, 1667 and 1673. He and his brother were among the largest landholders in Woburn. In 1656, John had at least two servants, Daniel Mackdonnell and Sarah Dawes. Daniel and thousands of other Scots had participated in the revolt of Charles II of England, who fought Cromwell to regain the throne in 1651. When Cromwell won, the Scots were taken prisoner. Those that survived were sold as indentured servants and shipped to the colonies (our ancestor William Munroe was a Scottish prisoner as well). In 1656, Daniel was convicted of fornication with Sarah. He testified that he was 36 and that “hee was a married man in Scotland” where “hee left His wife & two small children.” twenty-one year old Sarah confessed that “shee is now quicke with child.” Francis Wyman ffered to pay Daniel’s 5 pound fine “in Wheate and Rie.” Sarah was ordered to return to court (after the child’s birth) to pay 40 shillings or be whipped. Francis Kendall offered to pay her fine. There is no further record of the child.
