2452.John Dingley. Born ca 1610.210 John died bef 13 Mar 1689/90.210
John was an associate of Thomas Chillingsworth, with whom he came to Lynn in 1637. He afterwards went with a colony to Sandwich and finally, with Chillingsworth, about 1644, settled in Marshfield where he held many town offices.4225
There are apparently no contemporary records for John Dingley being in Lynn in the 1630s. There is a record for him in Sandwich in 1638, and he moved to Marshfield around 1643. He was constable in Marshfield in 1644, a member of a grand jury in 1645 and six more times through 1672. He was made a freeman on 5 Jun 1644.210
There are no primary sources for the name of John Dingley’s wife. She certainly was not Sarah Chillingsworth since Sarah Chillingsworth was married to Samuel Sprague at the time. There is also no evidence that John Dingley was the John Dingley baptized at Cropthorne in 1594, son of Francis and Elizabeth (Bigge) Dingley.210
