Peter Hobart; Margaret married John Tower, as indicated previously, and Rebecca married Rev. Peter Hobart. She was his 2nd wife. There appears to be no means for finding the dates of the births of Ellen or Margaret. Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, a grandson of Rev. Peter Hobart and Rebecca (Ibrook) Hobart, has the following among his records, namely: "1693, Sep 9 - Died my Hon. Grandmother, Rebecca Hobart, ae 73, lived in new England 55 years." This would give the date of her coming as 1638, three years subsequent to the date of the grant of a house-lot to her father. The following records are found in Rev. Peter Hobart's diary:

Richard Ibrook left no son, and the name disappears as a surname and has been preserved as a given name among the descendants of his daughters as Ibrook Tower, Ibrook Hobart & Ibrook Whipple.
