Sept. 1702, Sarah Lothrop. He died in 1705, leaving no issue.
His widow administered and one third of his estate was set ofif to
her, and the remainder divided to his brothers and siS'ters. The
widow married John Trap 14th Oct. 1708.
James Huckins, another son of the second Thomas, died unmarried
about the time of the death of his father. His brother
John was appointed administrator on hi» estate July 17, 1714.
His estate was settled, and the property divided 2Gth Sept. 1716,
to the same persons and in the same proportions
estate was.
as the father's
Samuel Huckins, son of Thomas, died unmarried in 1718.
His will is dated 22d Aug. 1718, and was proved on the 20th Oct.
following. He gave to his brother Thomas all his land at the
Neck, where he then lived, and all bis meadow lying north of his
brother John's estate. He names "his mother's dower" which it
appears he owned. He gave legacies to his sisters Hannah Huckins,
and to the widow Hope Hamblin.
After the decease of Samuel the old Huckins estate was
owned by the brothers John and Thomas. 1 do not find that John
ever married, or if he did that he had issue. I have not carefully
examined into the matter ;
but as his estate was afterwards owned
by the descendants of his brother Thomas, I infer that he died
childless.
Thomas, the third of the name, had a large family, most of
whom lived in celibacy. James, the eighth child, born April 11,
1730, died June 25, 1818, aged 88. From him I believe all of the
name now living descend. Capt. James Huckins, of Boston, is
his grandson.
Thomas, 3d, married Rachell (Snow?) He owned the large
Huckins estate and was a wealthy farmer. His wife died
22, 1765, aged 70. He died March 3, 1774, aged 86.
