(pg 11) below is an excerpt;

FIRST GENERATION

JOHN1 ROUND, b. possibly ca. 1645, d. 7 Oct. 1716 at Swansea, MA (date of death stated on his Inventory, below).

He m., probably ca. 1665/8, possibly in England, ELIZABETH , d. after 7 Oct. 1716 (she appeared shortly after that in Court with son John2 to present her husband's Will and Inventory) . Elizabeth was apparently mother of all the children, since John's1 Will named her and son John2, "with his mother," as Executors; and John2 was probably at least the second child, if not the first.

One tradition has is that John1 Round came from the Isle of Wight, on the English Channel off the southern coast of England. Another tradition states that he originated in Wales. Extensive research has been unable to verify which tradition, if either, is correct. We are thus compelled to say that we know no more about his origin than that he probably came from some place in the British Isles. ...
