Notes
General:
May have been born in Pembroke, MA or Pemaquid, ME
In 1777 they sold their farm to Samuel Osgood. Signed the Association Test in Epsom, NH Moved to Sandwich and later to Lyndon, VT (1789) and sold the Sandwich homestead to his son Samuel. Died age 82.

John Mark Moses - John McGaffey, of Brentwood in 1754, of Buck Street (Pembroke), in 1757, was of Epsom in 1759, and bought land of his father-in-law, Andrew McClary. In 1765 he bought forty-six acres more to the east of the McClarys, adjoining Nottingham line. He was son of a Neal "McGachy" (also spelled McGaughe and McGaghe), who was of Pemaquid, Me., in 1733, and then bought land in Nottingham. Neal's estate was administered in 1753.

South of the Ham farm was the large farm of John and Jane McGaffey, partly in Epsom and partly in Deerfield. Of this family, in addition to what has been said, it may be stated that Samuel McGaffey of Sandwich married Lydia Sanborn of Epsom in 1784; John McGaffey of Lyndon, Vt., married Margaret Sanborn of Epsom in 1800, and Neal and William W. McGaffey married, before 1796, Sarah and Mary, daughters of Philip Babb. An Andrew McGaffey, not son of John, bought land west of the river in 1765, and held office in 1770. He probably married Hannah Wallace.

John and Jane McGaffey sold their farm in 1777 to Samuel Osgood, gentleman, of Salisbury, Mass., who came there to live. Children of his, born in Epsom (1779-1786), were Isaac, Lydia, Hannah and Sarah. There was a Samuel Jr., who died in early manhood. Eleanor, wife of Samuel Sr., died in August 1793, in her fifty-first year. He married, second, the widow of the second Andrew McClary. She died in 1808; he in 1819. Of the daughters, Lydia (1781-1866), married Hanover Dickey (1773-1845), and Hannah married Robert Dickey, both of Epsom.

John and Jane (McClary) McGaffey had children, born 1756-1773, Neal, Margaret, Samuel, John, Jane, Andrew, William Workman, Agnes, Mary and James. Neal and William W. married Sarah and Mary, daughters of Philip Babb. Sarah married Ebenezer Wallace. John, Neal and an Andrew McGaffey signed the Association Test in Epsom in 1776. By 1790 the name had disappeared from town and appeared in New Hampshire only in Sandwich, where the census found families of Andrew, Samuel, John, Workman, Henry and Andrew "McGaffee."
