From Lincoln’s History of the Town of Hingham:45
“George, probably from old Hingham or some of the adjoining parishes in Norfolk County, England, came to New England, and settled in our Hingham with Rev. Peter Hobart and his comopany, 1635. On the 18th of Sept. of that year he drew a house-lot on Town (North) St., which was bounded and described in the town’s first book of grants as follows: ‘Given unto George marsh for a house-lot, five acres of land bounded by Richard Osborn, eastward; with the highway leading to Squirrel Hill, westwaard; with the Town Street, southward,’ etc. But little is known concerning his active life or family history. Tradition, however, says that he was descended from the marshes in England, who trace back their ancestry more than two hundred years before America was first settled; and that before they came into england the surname was spelled ‘Marisco.’ The christian name of his wife was Elizabeth. She survived him, and married secondly, Nov. 1748, Richard Bowen. George was made ‘freeman’ 3 March, 1636, and was one of the selectmen, 1645. He d. 2 July, 1647. Will made on the day of his death.”
