Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Master John McFadden was born on 31 May 1729 in Georgetown, Lincoln County, Maine; died on 5 Mar 1755 in At Sea.

    Notes:

    John perished at sea off of Cape Cod. Since his death notice said he was frozen to death, it appears his body was found and recovered, in which case he was likely buried here in Stoughton, Mass. where he lived with his wife. His property became a part of the town of Canton in 1797. Note that the surname of the subject is usually given as McFadden, whereas the surname of his two sons is usually given as Fadden.
