Watertown 11 Dec 1686.She m(2) Watertown 18 Nov 1673 Richard Norcross. William Shattuck must have emigrated to this country while in hisminority. Nothing is known of him before his arrival in this country,but it is thought that he may have come from either Lancashire,Sommersetshire, or Berkshire. It is also conjectured that his fathermight have died on his passage over or shortly thereafter, and alsothat he might have been the son of widow Damaris Shattuck, who wasadmitted to the church in Salem in 1641. He may have been a brother ofSamuel Shattuck as their ages are close and the names in theirfamilies are similar.[1/8] Samuel Shattuck is believed to be a son of Damaris. He was born about1620 and died in Salem, MA June 6, 1689, age 69. He first joined theSalem church in 1642. Both he and his mother, widow Damaris, haddaughters named Damaris. William, on the other hand, did not name adaughter Damaris.[1/361] In the first inventory of estates in Watertown, taken in 1639, Williamhad 1) "An Homstall of one acre bounded Southwest with the Common theEast wth John Clough & the North with William Perry 2) Three acres ofupland bounded the North with Joseph Morse the South with WilliamPerry the East with John Clough & the West with the Common".[4/1:66]William had the same holding in the third inventory, taken in1646.[4/1:145] William married about 1642. The christian name of his wife wasSusanna, but neither her surname, date or place of birth, nor herparentage are known. Susanna remained a widow about 15 months afterhis death and married on Nov. 18, 1673 Richard Norcross, who survivedher. She died Dec. 11, 1686. Richard Norcross was the first grammarschool teacher in Watertown.[1/6061] William held several townoffices. In 1652 he was chosen to prosecute the orders about hogs andfences[2/1:32] and again in 1660.[2/1:64] He was also the surveyor ofhighways in 1655, 1664, and 1665.[2/1:42,78,84] William's occupation was that of a weaver, and at his death hebequeathed his "loom and its appurtenances" to his son William.Agriculture also seems to have been a big part of his life, as it wasfor many early settlers. He was buried in the old Mount AuburnCemetery.[1/5960] William Shattuck's will was dated Aug. 3 and proved Aug. 29, 1672. Init he mentioned his sons Samuel Church, Phillip Shattuck, WilliamShattuck, four small children, two younger sons Benjamin and Samuel,son John, and wife Susanna. His "loving friends John Coolidge, Jr. andSamuel Livermore" were to be assistants to his wife in the executionof the will, which was witnessed by John Coolidge and JohnLivermore.[3/4:28] The inventory of the estate was taken August 23,1672 by John Coolidge, John Livermore, and Thomas Hastings andamounted to 434.19.11. 200 pounds was in real property, the rest inpersonal property, including 103.17.7 1/2 in money.[3/4:31] REF: [1] The Descendants of William Shattuck - Lemuel Shattuck, 1855 [2] Watertown Records, 1894 [3] Middlesex County Probate (First Series Docket 20168) [4] Watertown Records, 1894 (Lands, Grants and Possessions) Children: 1.
