Both of Seclgley. We now return to Captain JOHN HOMER, eldest son of Edward Homer (JI. ) of Ettingshall, who was baptized March 20, 1665, and who appears to have resigned his right of succes- sion to his younger brother, probably however for an equivalent, as he was owner or part owner of the vessel he commanded. The term "Captain" by which he was called, is used throughout to distinguish this John as the founder of the American branch. Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary, considers it doubt...ful that he was a son of Edward, but although the Ettingshall family were very careless about their records still they had preserved some memory of their ancestors, and about the year 1855, Mr. Benjamin Homer of Bilston, already referred to, said there was a Captain John Homer who emigrated to Boston and a few years afterward returned home and paid a long visit to his family, and that he was a son of Edward Homer of Ettingshall. He said moreover that his own father and gTandfather, and if my memory serves me, his great-grandfather also, were all named Benjamin, and that his only son, likewise a Benjamin, died a mid- shipman in the Royal Navy, and it will be noticed that commencing with the Benjamin born in Iti82, and his American nephew born in 1698.
