Sarah (Gould) Bixby, wife of Joseph Bixby, Jr., was a granddaughter of Zacheus Gould who settled first at Lynn, Mass., and
later at Topsfield, where he acquired a large landed estate. Zacheus Gould was 72 years old in 1661. His wife was Phoebe
Deacon, daughter of Thomas and Martha Deacon of Corner Hall, Bovington, Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England, and a near relative to Lt. Col. Thomas Deacon, the parliamentarian soldier. The Deacons were an armorial family, and like the Goulds, had long been settled in the locality whence the Goulds emigrated to New England. A sister of Phoebe (Deacon) Gould married John Putnam of Dan vers.
The inventory of the estate of Joseph Bixby valued his house, lands and right in undivided land lying on the east of Mr. Pickard's farm, at £237, land in Rocke woods in Partnership, 19 acres, £28, two parcels of meadow in Andover 2 £28. Personalty, £57-2-11. All members of his family signing receipts for their portion used
the spelling Byxbe.
From Suffolk court files, we learn that Joshua Higgins and his wife, Priscilla, were not satisfied with the share allotted to them, in their father's estate, and in consequence brought suit against Joseph Bixby, the administrator, and recovered £40. Joseph appealed from this judgment and won his case. The real estate was valued at £293, and was divided equally between Joseph and John, the two eldest sons, who gave bonds to pay their brothers and sisters their portions. The estate was divided into ten shares, the eldest son receiving a double portion.
