Individual:
Robert Buffum Robert Buffum lived in Salem. He was a farmer and
trader to some extent. He early joined the Quakers and both he
and his wife were fined for non-attendance on regular worship.
Robert was buried in the Old Burying Ground now Peabody, and i
n later years, his remains were removed Harmony Grove Cemetery
near the western entrance. A rough stone square of granite,
which formed the headstone, was removed at the same time. Nov
15 1669, his inventory amounted to 270 pounds, 70 shillings
with scales. Weights, measures and garden seeds named in the
schedule, Widow Tamoson, administratrix. On Nov 25 1668, Mary
Neale testified that when her father, Robert Buffum was sick,
she tended to him until he died, and heard her mother, Tamosin
asked her father several times to make a will: of which he
seemed to take little notice till a little before his death
when he said that he would have his son Joshua have a double
portion, and for the rest of the children, he would make no
difference betwixt them, for, he said, that they are yours as
well as mine. About the same time other testimony was taken,
Gertrude Pope, widow, testified that being at the house of
Robert Buffu m, while he lay at his death bed, he would have me
and Elizabeth Kitchen take notice of what he has said, as to
his estate, he would leave to his wife, for she had helped him
to get it and the children were hers. Testimony of Elizabeth
Kitchen to the sam e effect. Petition of john Wilson, William
Beanes and Jeremiah Neale, children and heirs of Robert Buffum
humbly showth that 'whereas our father Robert Buffum died
intestate and an inventory of his estate was brought in by
relict Tomosin and she appointe d administratrix, etc, who
since that time has disposed of the same according to her fancy
or affection led her, or else keepeth the same still in her
hands; we your petitioners, being children of the deceased,
humbly conceive that as children, we ought to according to the
law of God and this jurisdiction each of us to have a share or
portion which is our right, and therefore humbly do supplicate
this honored Court as fathers of this country to our causes
into your pious and Christian consideration and be fathers to
us in helping us to that we who are the children may not be
deprived of which we humbly conceive according to law of God
and this jurisdiction is ours. We subscribe yours in all
service to command. One Hundred Allied Families by John O.
