  [S71] Great Migration: Vol IV I-L, New England Historic Genealogical Society, (americanancestors.org.), (americanancestors.org : accessed 19 Feb 2012); p. 74: Elizabeth Meares, widow. (Reliability: 3). 20 May 1670: "James Johnson now of Boston..., glover, formerly of Little Boughton in Northamptonshire, aged about fifty-nine years"..."Elizabeth Meares, widow, now of Boston...formerly of Little Broughdon in Northamptonshire..., aged about sixty-eight years..." In John Meares' will he mentions his "dear uncle, James Johnson", so Elizabeth is likely the sister of James Johnson. The town is Little Bowden in Northamptonshire.
