Note: no death or burial record has been found for John, but his family was associated with this cemetery, and it is assumed that his body was recovered following the Crown Point expedition and that he was buried here.

John was the son of Philip Liscom and Charity Jordan of Milton, Dorchester, and Stougton, Mass. He m. Stoughton 11 June 1728 Joanna LEONARD, b. 22 March 1709, daughter of Uriah Leonard and Abigail Stone, of Stoughton. John was bequeathed part of his father's estate on Bear Swamp Road, presumably in Stoughton. He was a private and volunteer in the old French War in 1756 as a sentinel, on the Crown Point Expedition. He was in (Capt?) Nathaniel Blake's company, (Col?) Bagley's regiment; on a roll from July to 11 October, he was reported dead. Children:

* Joanna, b. Stoughton 10 Jan 1728/9 (VR), appears to have died young

* John, b. Stoughton 1 Aug 1730 (VR). If he survived childhood, he could be any one of a number of John Liscoms appearing in census records in western Mass. and New York in the early 19th century.

* Grace, b. 14 Aug 1732, m. (1) John McFADDEN; m. (2) Comfort WHYTON or WHITING (see above)

* Joanna, b. Stoughton 1 Sep 1734, m. Stoughton 3 April 1755 John HILL.

* Abigail, b. Stoughton 23 Feb 1738/9

* Charity, b. Stoughton 9 Feb 1740/1, d. Milton 14 Nov 1798, m. (1) Stoughton 23 Oct 1760 (also recorded in Milton) Thomas HOUGHTON of Milton, b. c. 1737, d. c. 1772, son of Ebenezer-3 Houghton (Joseph-2, Ralph-1) and Sarah Evans. Thomas was taxed in Milton from 1759 to 1772. Charity m. (2) as his second or third wife, 17 Dec 1774, Noah DAMON, b. Milton 28 April 1723, d. Bridgewater, VT 1799, the son of Noah Damon and Sarah Dickerman. Noah had married first in Milton on 2 April 1754 Hannah Merrifield with whom he had four children. An online account says he married second Abigail Blake, but I think it was his father, Noah Sr., who married Blake. Charity had five known children with her first husband.

* Nathanael, b. Stoughton 11 April 1743, m. Milton 1767 Bridget McMULLEN. Nothing more known of this couple.
