• Notes

  The Boston records say he was born 17th day 2nd month, but the baptism record was for the 16th day of the 2nd month, at which time he was about 7 days old. He married first to Elizabeth Lidgett. At least one genealogy has her as the mother of John, Jr. b 1695. However, other genealogies say John Jr. was a son of Elizabeth (Allen) Usher. See notes for John (Jr.). John Usher followed in the footsteps of his father, being involved in selling and publishing books. He became a freeman of Boston 7 May 1673. John Usher was Lt. Governor of New Hampshire.
