He was born circa 1655 at possibly Dorchester, MA.3 He was the son of John Rathbone and Margaret Acres. He married (?) unknown wife of John Rathbun Jr on 16 January 1678/79 at Block Island, Rhode Island.4,5 He married Ann Dodge on 11 November 1686 at "Rochester in the King's Province", now N. Kingston, Rhode Island.3,6 He died in 1723 at Block Island, Rhode Island.3
[CR][CR]From the Rathbun Family Historian, April 1981:
John Rathbun Jr. was born about 1655, probably in Dorchester, Mass., shortly after his parents migrated to America. He went with his family as a young boy to Block Island in 1661, and was married there Jan. 10, 1679, to a wife whose name is illegible in the records. They had one child, a son John Jr., who was born June 22, 1680, and died in infancy. The mother apparently also died about this time.
After the death of his wife, it appears that John, then in his late 20s, may have had what we today call "an affair" with his 19-year-old cousin, Margery Acres. When she married Daniel Tosh in 1685, Margery already had a six-month old son later named Acres Tosh, who may have been John Rathbun's illegitimate child. In 1735, a Rhode Island court upheld a claim that Acres Tosh was illegally in possession of Tosh property on Block Island on the ground that he was Margery's illegitimate son by John Rathbun and, therefore, not legally entitled to any Tosh inheritance. The claimant, Penelope (Tosh) Holloway, produced a witness, Sarah Potter, who testified she had seen Acres' mother "abed with John Rathbun."
Simon Ray, Block Island's town clerk in 1735, protested the court's decision and Sarah Potter's testimony, commenting: "... many women have done the same and after that had children lawfully begotten, and if every woman that hath kept company with a man before marriage should make her children bastards, there will be but few lawfully begotten."
Whatever the truth of the allegation, John Rathbun was married again Nov. 11, 1686, "at Rochester in the Kings Province," (the temporary name for North Kingstown, R.I.) to Ann Dodge, possibly the widow of Thomas Dodge, son of Tristram. Thomas Dodge is mentioned in early Block Island records but disappears about that time.
John Rathbun Jr. was admitted freeman of the Colony of Rhode Island May 1, 1684. (This meant he was over 21, a property owner and, therefore, had the right to vote).
His parents, on Sept. 21, 1.679, gave John"for love etc." 60 acres of land and their home on Block Island. This gift came into question some years later, and on Jan. 3, 1688, they made a new deed, clarifying the first. For a barrel of pork, to be paid yearly on demand, they gave John Jr. full title to the property, with the stipulation that should he ever decide to sell it, "he shall offer ... the same to one or any one of his brothers, five pounds cheaper than any other person." Nearly 30 years later, John had his aged mother make a formal deposition further explaining the two deeds:
"My son John Rathbun desires me for as much as my husband is deceased to explain the occasion or reason for the two deeds ... the full intent of my husband and myself ... (was that) our son John should have it (the property) at his own disposal and that none of our other children or their heirs forever should ever have any rights or property therein."
The Property was apparently the most valuable owned by John Rathbun Sr. and the other brothers may have raised objections. In 1719, the Block Island Town Council approved "a driftway (road?) to the Harbor through John Rathbun's land," indicating that the properly was indeed strategically located.
Under John Rathbone Sr., the story was told of how John Jr. posed as his father and was tied and beaten by the French in 1689 to enable his father to escape capture. John Jr. appears in Block Island records again in May 1717, aged about 62, when he testified as to the kidnaping of three islanders by the pirate, Paulsgrave Williams, the "black sheep" member of a prominent island family.
Island records indicate that John Jr. and his youngest brother, Samuel, were the only of the five brothers who were literate and could sign their names; the others customarily signed with "marks."
In December 1898, two Block Island Indians, "Great James and his wife," bound their daughter, Betsey, over to John and Ann Rathbun as an indentured servant for 18 years, receiving from the Rathbuns a gallon of rum and a blanket at the time, and to receive another gallon and blanket each year for five years, and then a gallon of rum each year thereafter and four blankets each third year, so long as the girl remained a servant.
John Rathbun Jr. died in 1723, aged about 68. He left all his housing and land on Block Island to his son, John, who was to pay 50 pounds to each of his four younger brothers as they reached 21, and 30 pounds to his younger sister, Anna, upon their mother's death. He had already given 100 pounds to his son Jonathan when he was married, and had given his daughter Mercy "her share" when she married Jonathan Burch in 1706.

After the death of his wife, it appears that John, then in his late 20s, may have had what we today call "an affair" with his 19-year-old cousin, Margery Acres. When she married Daniel Tosh in 1685, Margery already had a six-month old son later named Acres Tosh, who may have been John Rathbun's illegitimate child. In 1735, a Rhode Island court upheld a claim that Acres Tosh was illegally in possession of Tosh property on Block Island on the ground that he was Margery's illegitimate son by John Rathbun and, therefore, not legally entitled to any Tosh inheritance. The claimant, Penelope (Tosh) Holloway, produced a witness, Sarah Potter, who testified she had seen Acres' mother "abed with John Rathbun."
Simon Ray, Block Island's town clerk in 1735, protested the court's decision and Sarah Potter's testimony, commenting: "... many women have done the same and after that had children lawfully begotten, and if every woman that hath kept company with a man before marriage should make her children bastards, there will be but few lawfully begotten."
Whatever the truth of the allegation, John Rathbun was married again Nov. 11, 1686, "at Rochester in the Kings Province," (the temporary name for North Kingstown, R.I.) to Ann Dodge, possibly the widow of Thomas Dodge, son of Tristram. Thomas Dodge is mentioned in early Block Island records but disappears about that time.
John Rathbun Jr. was admitted freeman of the Colony of Rhode Island May 1, 1684. (This meant he was over 21, a property owner and, therefore, had the right to vote).
His parents, on Sept. 21, 1.679, gave John"for love etc." 60 acres of land and their home on Block Island. This gift came into question some years later, and on Jan. 3, 1688, they made a new deed, clarifying the first. For a barrel of pork, to be paid yearly on demand, they gave John Jr. full title to the property, with the stipulation that should he ever decide to sell it, "he shall offer ... the same to one or any one of his brothers, five pounds cheaper than any other person." Nearly 30 years later, John had his aged mother make a formal deposition further explaining the two deeds:
"My son John Rathbun desires me for as much as my husband is deceased to explain the occasion or reason for the two deeds ... the full intent of my husband and myself ... (was that) our son John should have it (the property) at his own disposal and that none of our other children or their heirs forever should ever have any rights or property therein."
The Property was apparently the most valuable owned by John Rathbun Sr. and the other brothers may have raised objections. In 1719, the Block Island Town Council approved "a driftway (road?) to the Harbor through John Rathbun's land," indicating that the properly was indeed strategically located.
Under John Rathbone Sr., the story was told of how John Jr. posed as his father and was tied and beaten by the French in 1689 to enable his father to escape capture. John Jr. appears in Block Island records again in May 1717, aged about 62, when he testified as to the kidnaping of three islanders by the pirate, Paulsgrave Williams, the "black sheep" member of a prominent island family.
Island records indicate that John Jr. and his youngest brother, Samuel, were the only of the five brothers who were literate and could sign their names; the others customarily signed with "marks."
In December 1898, two Block Island Indians, "Great James and his wife," bound their daughter, Betsey, over to John and Ann Rathbun as an indentured servant for 18 years, receiving from the Rathbuns a gallon of rum and a blanket at the time, and to receive another gallon and blanket each year for five years, and then a gallon of rum each year thereafter and four blankets each third year, so long as the girl remained a servant.
John Rathbun Jr. died in 1723, aged about 68. He left all his housing and land on Block Island to his son, John, who was to pay 50 pounds to each of his four younger brothers as they reached 21, and 30 pounds to his younger sister, Anna, upon their mother's death. He had already given 100 pounds to his son Jonathan when he was married, and had given his daughter Mercy "her share" when she married Jonathan Burch in 1706.
