Note: While there is no record of John being buried here, his farm, located in what is now Dover, was passed down through the generations. Two of his grandsons, one of whom inherited his farm, are buried in this cemetery, and it is likely that most of the family members were buried here as well. A monument to include John is being planned for this cemetery.
John was the son of James Draper and Miriam Stansfield of Heptonstall, England and Roxbury, Mass, He was married three times: (1) in Dedham 3 Sep 1686 to Abigail MASON, b. Dedham 6 Jan 1660 (6th of 11th month 1659), d. Dedham 23 Jan 170_ (probably 1705 or 1706), the daughter of John and Mary Mason. He m. (2) Dedham 12 June 1711 Judith Rogers, d. 30 Mar 1730, and m. (3) Dedham 26 Nov 1730 Elizabeth (DANIEL) Mason of Medfield, b. 1679, daughter of Joseph Daniel and Mary Fairbanks, and widow of Joseph Mason. John left Roxbury for Dedham, where he was a farmer for most of his life. He settled in the section of Dedham that later became the town of Dover. Children, all b. Dedham:
* Susanna, b. 1 Aug 1687, m. (1) 1707 John PLIMPTON of Medfield; m. (2) as his second wife, Stephen SABIN, d. 1737; he was town treasurer and schoolmaster at Medfield. She m. (3) Joseph PLIMPTON, d. 1740, brother of her first husband. He was a selectman of Medfield for six years, and representative to the General Court in 1720 and 1731.
* Abigail, b. Dec 1688, m. Dedham 19 Jan 1710/1 John BATTELLE, son of John Battelle and Hannah Holbrook. (Note: Draper genealogy gives b. date as Dec 1686, but this is highly unlikely based on parents' marriage date, and birth date of Susanna)
* John, b. 20 Feb 1690/1, m. Mariah HALL.
* Mary, b. 22 Oct 1693, d. Dedham, 25 Aug 1700

* Joseph, b. 3 June 1699, m. Boston 27 Jan 1725 [/6] Deborah ELLIS, b. Medfield 1 July 1700, daughter of Samuel Ellis and Deborah Lovell of Medfield. Joseph and Deborah had six known children born 1727 to 1735 (per Draper Gen.). Nothing more has been learned about them, but their son Joseph, Jr. was a Rev. War soldier, and lived in the part of Dedham that became Dover, and it is not unlikely that this is where Joseph and Deborah lived and died as well.
* James, b. 29 Jan 1701, d. Dedham Nov 1719.
