About Frances Oxenbridge


From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Oxenbridge

John Oxenbridge (30 January 1608 – 28 December 1674) was an English Nonconformist divine, who emigrated to New England.

In 1660 Oxenbridge was ejected from Eton. He returned to his preaching at Berwick-on-Tweed, but was expelled by the Act of Uniformity in 1662.[9] He then spent some time in Surinam[10] and Barbados. He married his third wife, Susanna, after November 1666, and probably at Barbados, where he had met her.[4]

In 1670, he settled at Boston, Massachusetts.[2] He and his wife were admitted members of the First Church in Boston, and shortly afterwards he was unanimously invited to become its pastor,[4] succeeding John Davenport.[11] Oxenbridge died in 1674 near the end of one of his sermons,[4] and was buried in King's Chapel Burying Ground in Boston.

His sister Elizabeth married Oliver St John, as his second wife.[6] His daughter Theodora married Peter Thacher (1651-1727).[15]
