Ships not only took on cargo. In port they made repairs, provisioned themselves, and fitted out for their journeys, creating more work for Boston's artisans and sales for her shopkeepers. One such ship was the John. Bound from the West Indies to Africa for slaves in 1650, and putting into the harbor to prepare for the journey. It's accont of expenditures in Boston included 14s 6d "to goodman franklin for nailes," 9li 4s 2d " to goodman Clarks bill" for ironwork, 5li 5s "to goodman Ward for a boate," 9s 6d "to goodman Barlow for caske," 11s "to the saile maker."

"John Mylam arrived in Boston in 1635 or earlier and received fourteen acres of land at Muddy River for the town; he was, therefore, one of the poorer sort. But in the 1640's he built a small fortune as a cooper, Mill Creek proprietor, and speculator in town plots. At mid decade he had a half-dozen servants and one-eighth shares in the ships Zebulon, John, and Supply; his trading activities abroad were sufficient to warrant his investing (with merchants William Tyng, Robert Keayne and Thomas Fowle) in an independent navel expedition against the "Turkish" pirates plaguing the shipping lanes around the Canaries.

John Mylam, fourteene acrs: bounded on the South East with Richard Fairbancke, being 80 Rodd in length to the South West and North East, and on Robte Walker to the North West.  Robte Walker, fourteene acrs: bounded on the South East with John Mylam, on the Northwest with James Davisse, and a fresh marsh by Newtowne, being 80 Rodd in length to the Southwest and North East.

Winsor adds: "Joshua Scottow was allowed, in 1651, to wharf at the north-east end of the mill bridge. He had bought the marsh at that time of James Nash, of Weymouth, to whom John Mylom had sold it."

Winsor places the following lots in this square with Union street west, and the Mill creek through its centre:--
a. John Mylom; sold to Thomas Marshall, 1648. b. John Mylom, h.; sold in part in 1650 to Robert Nash, the butcher. c. John Mylom; sold to Governor Leverett. d. Lewis Kidby, fisherman, 1639; granted house lot on the marsh next to John Lowe. e. John Lowe, upland, surrounded by marsh; called a wheelwright, when it was granted to him in 1636-37. f. Marsh held in commonage, part of which was granted in 1646 to John Mylom, who sold it to James Hawkins in 1648.

Thomas Marshall offered to the town in 1652 a highway to shorten the way to the bridge (G. 11), but withdrew his offer. The present Marshall street, however, would indicate that the short cut was eventually established.

G 11. The bridge, the draw of which was changed from one to two leaves in 1653, and the bridge was rebuilt in 1659. The repairs on it are a matter of constant entry in the town records. In 1650 it was ordered that the spare land about the bridge should be wharfed by the neighbors for the common landing of property. [Here also the] "old way" begun, which in 1649 was laid out, a rod broad, from the south side of the water mill, along the shore to the Mill Hill.

Cromwell's Parliament, having established its authority in England, turned its attention to the rebellious colonies.  In 1651 an Ordinance was passed that the Colonies should be subject to the laws and regulations made by Parliament, that those governing the colonies should be considered usurpers and rebels, and that navigation should cease. Bennet was appointed one of the Commissioners by the Council of State in England "to reduce the Plantations within the Bay of Chesapeake to their due obedience to the Parliament of England." Two of the Commissioners appointed were already in the colonies --Bennet and Claiborne; the other three were in England--Denis, Stagge, and Curtis. Captain Denis and Mr. Stagge sailed on the ship John and perished in a wreck. Captain Curtis arrived with a copy of the Commission, and troops of about 700 men were sent over for the Commissioners to use if necessary.

Suffolk Deeds, Lib. II, 195.: "These presents bindeth me John Milam late of Boston in New England my heires executors & administrators to pay or cawse to be paid vnto Henry Shrimpton of Boston Aforesaid Brassier his heires executors & administrators or Assignes on all demands in Currant money for the vse & behoofe of Mr John Turnor of Tennerife merchant the full and Just some of thirty pounds and eighteene shillings In witness whereof I the said John milam haue heere vnto sett my hand this 19th day of october 1652: signed John milam

Thomas Bell Aged twenty two yeares Came before me this 12th of December 1655 and did testefy vppon oath that he see John Milam deliuer this bill to the within Named Henry Shrimpton after the said milam had subscribed his hand as a wittnes. Ri: Bellingham Golinor Entered & Recorded the day & yeere aboue said at Request of ye said Henry Shrimpton. Edward Rawson Recorder"

Commentary about the above record:
First, it is JOB himself who is saying he is "late of Boston."  So this eliminates the heretofore possibility a 3rd party saying JOB was "late of Boston," or that JOB was "late of Boston" because he was dead.

Second, JOB is writing this after he had removed from Boston, therefore had left Boston prior to Oct 19, 1652.  He could have still written this in Boston while on a port-of-call there on business.

Third, it mentions "Mr. John Turnor of Tennerife, merchant...."  Tennerife is the largest island in the Canary Islands (Spanish), which are off the coast of north Africa.  The Canary Islands were crossroads for ships in the Atlantic, especially those headed south to Caribbean or S. America.  JOB had prior dealings with John Turnor (see above).  Why would JOB guarantee Turnor's debt to Shrimpton?   We need to understand more about the customs of 17th century merchant shipping regarding the payment of debts.  Perhaps this type of "covering" of others' debts was done for the sake of expediency....... sort of, "I'll cover you here, and you cover me there."  Or, perhaps they were partners?

Fourth, this is recorded in 1655.  Why hadn't Henry Shrimpton already been paid?  Why did he just now record it?  Had JOB died, and Shrimpton was officially recording it so he could make claim against JOB's estate?  When did Shrimpton die?  Could he be sick, or on verge of dying himself, and getting his affairs and will in order??

Fifth, Who is Thomas Bell, and how (and where) did he have the opportunity to witness JOB's signature??
