    Notes:

    He was Boston's first white resident. Arrived in the New World, Wessagussett (Weymouth, Massachusetts), in September of 1623. He then moved north to the western slope of the peninsular of Shawmut (Boston), opposite the mouth of the Charles River. By early June of 1633 the population of Boston, having reached nearly 4,000, was now infringing upon the 50 Acres of land he had been granted by Governor Winthrop. He sold 44 of his 50 acres and moved to Rehoboth, RI (now Cumberland, Rhode Island). Although Roger Williams is considered the founder of Rhode Island, it wasn't until 1636, a full three years later, that he settled in Providence (Plantation). A law was passed in Boston by 1646 making Blackstone's remaining 6 acres of land perpetually Public property (now Boston Common). In 1655, Blackstone sold the six acre Boston Common to one Richard Pepy. Married Sarah Stevenson on July 4, 1659 at the age of 64 and had their first, and only child, John, in 1660.
