He d. by 1654, and perhaps even earlier. On 17 Feb. 1670, the younger Jehu had recorded a homelot adjoining his own homelot, of which he "hath had quiet possession above this sixteen years." Immediately beneath, under date 12 Jan. 1673, is entered a description of the same lot, autographed by his bro. John, from whom he had purchased it, apparently a ratification of the purchase, The next entry, same date, is the younger Jehu's own homelot which he "hath by his father's will Jehu dec'd", bounded by the lot bought from his bro. John.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Fact: Daughter of Rev. John Boyse of Halifax, co. York, England

Notes:

Name:
Joanna Boyse, was the daughter of Rev John & Joanna (Stowe) Boyse. On July 2, 1637. She married, as his second wife, the Rev. Peter Prudden of Milford, while he was visiting Massachusetts. She married (2) Thomas Willett in Milford, 19 September 1671. (Savage says her gravestone of 1699 calls her his only wife and finds the error peculiar, but Burgess reads the stone to say 1669 and attributes it more correctly to the first wife.) There were no children of her marriage to Willett.

Find A Grave contributor Brooke Harlowe adds:
Joanna had a third husband, the Rev. John Bishop of Stamford, CT. She was his second wife. (See D.L. Jacobus, Families of Old Fairfield, vol. 1: 77)
Bishop is buried in St Johns and St. Andrews Episcopal Cemetery in Stamford. His memorial is 50504127.
In his will, Rev. Bishop asks to be buried between his two wives. I presume that Joanna (and Rebecca Goodyear Bishop) are in the same cemetery but no headstone remains for them.
