Sewall was born in Bishopstoke, Hampshire, England, on March 28, 1652, the son of Henry and Jane (Dummer) Sewall.[3] His father, son of the mayor of Coventry, had come to the English North American Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, where he married Sewall's mother and returned to England in the 1640s.[4] In 1722, he married Mary (Shrimpton) Gibbs, who survived him.[13][14] His nephew, Stephen, also served as a Massachusetts Chief Justice, as did his great grandson Samuel.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7.txt
