 Includes NotesNotes for John Lakin:
Note: According to "John Lakin's Deed, 1653," printed in NEHGS "Register," Vol 45, pg. 79, John Lakin was a native of England who came to this country with his elder brother William, his mother and his grandfather, William Lakin, Sr.. The family first settled at Reading where the name was often spelled "Laukin" and a few years later, all of them were living at Groton. He may have come from Nottinghamshire, England, although an Internet source names Reading, Berkshire as his birthplace (Hartshorn Home Page @www.co.catawba.nc.us/otheragency/ccgs/dhart/). John Lakin was one of the first settlers at Groton, MA. He was one of the original petitioners to set off the land which eventually knwn as Groton, along with elder brother William - and with Richard, John and Robert Blood (see all 4 elsewhere in this genealogy.) He and his brother each owned a 20 acre right as original proprietors. John's property was at Nod, a district lying northerly of the soapstone quarry. He was later an ensign there in the militia. Savage speculates that he may have fled Groton during the Indian Wars (Groton attacked and burned by the Indians March, 1676), but returned and died there in 1697.
