John Spring Bio by Cutter 1630-1717 , Cambridge/Newton, MA
" Lieutenant John (2) Spring, son of John (1) Spring, was born in England in 1630; came with his parents to New England when four years old. He settled in Cambridge about the time of the ordination of its first minister. His house stood on the northwest side of the Dedham road, opposite the old burial place. He built the first grist mill in Newton, on Smelt brook, near the center of the town. He was selectman eight years from 1686; deputy three years; sealer of weights and measures; pound keeper; tithingman; lieutenant. It is supposed that he gave the land for the second meeting house in 1696, which stood very near his own house, and the town afterward reconveyed it to his son John. He died May 18, 1717. He married, in 1656, Hannah Barsham, who died August 18, 1710, daughter of William and Anable Barsham, of Watertown.
