Notes for John CLOYES:
John Cloyes was a ship's captain, sailing up and down the Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts coasts, carrying cargo and passengers. He died about 1713. 

John was the son of John and Abigail Cloyes of Watertown, Massachusetts. (WATERTOWN RECORDS, 1 [op.cit.], 6). When he was young, the family moved to Falmouth (Portland) Maine (William Willis, THE HISTORY OF PORTLAND FROM 1632 TO 1864 [Portland: Bailey & Noyes, 1865], 140. Other interesting information about the Cloyes family in Portland is found on pages 173-174 of Willis' book). After a few years, they moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts. 

Mary Long (John's first wife and the mother of Elizabeth) was the daughter of Deacon Robert and Alice (Stevens) Long of Newbury (Savage, A GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF NEW ENGLAND, 3 [op.cit.], 109. See also Torrey, NEW ENGLAND MARRIAGES PRIOR TO 1700 [op.cit.], 471). 

John Cloyes and Mary Long were married in 1664 at Charlestown, Massachusetts (Savage, 109, 412).

That same year, Thomas Mills deeded land to both John and his brother, Nathaniel (who had married Mary's sister, Sarah), referring to each one as his "beloved sonn in law" (YORK DEEDS, Book III [Portland: John T. Hull and B. Thurston & Co., 1888], Folio 105). 

It seems that Mary (Long) Cloyes married her second husband, Jonathan Griffin of Newbury, Massachusetts, 25 October 1676 (VITAL RECORDS OF SUDBURY, MASSACHUSETTS TO 1850 [Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1903], 231).
