  John Ames IV traveled to his new country from England on the Hercules. He shared that trip with Thomas Hayward and later was to marry Hayward's sister, Elizabeth. They were married by Governor Bradford on October 20, 1645. Ames was elected town constable in Braintree. In 1649 he bought lands from the Indians in Bridgewater where some of the Ames family settled. He and Elizabeth never had children but he passed their inheritance on to his nephew, John Ames. John was William Ames's only son (written by Amy Patterson)
