- He married Sarah Busketh, who died February 1, 1712. They had five sons whose names were: James, born in 1658; Samuel, 1663; Benjamin, 1667; Joseph, Ebenezer, 1670; and three daughters-Mary, 1656; Sarah, 1665; and Hannah, born in 1669. The first record of him relates to the birth of his daughter, Mary, May 16, 1656. The will of Elizabeth Heath, widow, dated January 1st, 1664, gave 20 shillings to "Goodman Frysell," that married "Goodman Busketh's" daughter. The following abstract is taken from the registry of deeds, Suffolk Co., Mass., book 31, page 14:
"James Frissell, of Roxbury, being old and infirm, in consideration of the good care his son, James, has taken of him for some time past, and because he will continue so to do, deeds certain lands to said son, and mentions his daughter-in-law, Mary, wife of James, his son, Samuel, who was to be paid 35 pounds, his daughter, Mary Allen, and the children of his son, Joseph, now dead. Dated July 4th, 1712."
James Frissell died February 6th, 1716, aged 90 years. James, the son, deeded the lands mentioned to his son, John, in 1740, and they passed out of the latter's possession in 1752, having been in the family nearly 100 years.
