In Bridgewater, John, the son of WilliamAmes was known as John Jr., likely to distinguish him from his uncle JohnAmes who may also have become his guardian after William's death. John Jr. was his Uncle John's heir.
(Nephew) Estate
His uncle, JohnAmes, had no children, but he had a large estate which he gave by deeds to his nephew John, "son of his brother William of Braintree, and to the sons of his said nephew."2

Sarah's family has not yet been determined. We wonder, though, if she may have been a relative, perhaps a sister, of brothers JohnAmes and WilliamAmes. The Ames and Hayward men, and possibly their sisters and other family members, arrived in New England together on the same ship and there is evidence that the families interacted in both Duxbury and Bridgewater after arriving in America. Additionally, ElizabethHayward, the "probable sister" of Sarah's husband ThomasHaywardEsq. married John Ames, one of the Ames brothers who sailed from England with the Thomas Hayward family.

It is believed that ThomasHayward, who came from Aylsford, Kent, England, and JohnAmes both arrived in America in 1635 on the ship Hercules and settled first in Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Both men were early proprietors in Bridgewater, also in Plymouth County. John's brother WilliamAmes may also have arrived on the same ship. William settled in Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts as early as 1640.2,3
SarahAmes's family has not yet been determined. We wonder, though, if she may have been a relative, perhaps a sister, of brothers John and JohnAmes and William Ames. The Ames and Hayward men, and possibly their sisters and other family members, arrived in New England together on the same ship and there is evidence that the families interacted in both Duxbury and Bridgewater after arriving in America. Additionally, ElizabethHayward, the "probable sister" of Sarah's husband ThomasHaywardEsq. married John Ames, one of the Ames brothers who sailed from England with the Thomas Hayward family.
(Father) Relationship Note
In Bridgewater, John, the son of William Ames was known as John Jr., likely to distinguish him from his uncle JohnAmes who may also have become his guardian after William's death. John Jr. was his Uncle John's heir.
(Brother) Estate
His brother, JohnAmes, had no children, but he had a large estate which he gave by deeds to his nephew John, "son of his brother William of Braintree, and to the sons of his said nephew."1
