The deaths of Thomas and the third John are stated on the authority of a manuscript genealogy by the late Rev. John Marrett of Burlington. John the f. was a shoemaker, and after 1682 resided a few rods westerly from the Craigie House in the former mansion of Deac. John Bridge. He. d. between 3 Oct. and 16 Dec. 1695; his w.

3. Thomas, s. of Thomas (1), taught school in Dedham from Dec. 1659 to July 1661; and is named in his father's will 15 Oct. 1663.

Mr. Marrett, generally known as Lieut. Marrett, was by occupation a farmer and brickmaker, a man of wealth, and a prominent citizen of the town. In 1704 he purchased ten acres of land, between the paternal homestead and the estate late of Dr. Hill, embracing the site of the house celebrated as the headquarters of Washington, the present residence of Professor Longfellow. On this lot, which he had occupied for several previous years under lease, he seems to have spent the remainder of his days; but whether his house was erected by him or by a previous owner does not appear. The estate remained in the Marrett family until 1746, when it was sold to Col. John Vassall. Lieut. Marrett d. without posterity 17 Nov. 1739, a. 81. He had previously conveyed his homestead to his nephew Amos Marrett, and in his will constituted him his principal heir.

John Vassall, and purchased the estate afterwards called the Fayerweather estate, recently owned by William Wells, which was then in Watertown. He d. there (perhaps in the old farmhouse lately demolished) 14 Nov. 1747, a. 44. His w. Mary survived.
