    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth rec found. Amesbury vital records are defective for this period. John is identified in the settlement of estate of his father, Philip Watson-Challis of Amesbury, 27 Sep 1681, where he is mentioned last among the four sons (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 3:418-19 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). He should not be confused with his elder brother John, who was born on 26 Jun 1655. Although no death record has been found for the elder John, his brother William, born 18 May 1663, is called eldest son of Philip Watson-Challis in a deed to John Dole of Newbury, 6 Apr 1688 (Essex Co. Deeds, 21:196 [FHL #866023]). Hence, this John was born after 1663 and probably after 1673, when Thomas was born. Year of birth is approximated at 1677. Like his brothers, John seems to have dropped Watson from his surname.
      MAR: VITAL RECORDS OF SALISBURY (Topsfield, MA, 1915), 301 (FHL #974.45/S3 V2t). The mar is also recorded in VITAL RECORDS OF AMESBURY (Topsfield, MA, 1913), 302 (FHL #974.45/A1 V2a). "At Salisbury."
      DEATH: No death rec found. See the will of John Challis of Amesbury, 23 Mar 1741/2, proved 21 Feb 1742/3, Essex Co. Probate, (o.s.) 325:207-209 (FHL #875133), widow's dower set off 11 Jul 1751 (Ibid, 330:368-69 [FHL #875135]).
