Marriages:

1712 – William Janes & Abigail Loomis in Brimfield, MA.  William son of Abel & Mary (Judd) Janes was born in Northampton, MA in 1692.  Abigail born 1691 in Windsor, CT was the daughter of Josiah & Mary (Rockwell) Loomis.

William Janes was the prominent son and leading member of the family of Abel Janes.  He raised up a large and honored family of sons and daughters.  He was the favorite son of the family, and was at home with father and mother till some time after the death of his father, Abel (1718), and in time moved with all, or nearly all his family, from his native place, Lebanon, Conn., to land he purchased for himself and sons in Brimfield, Mass.  From records of the town of Brimfield, its settlement was commenced in 1717, and William Janes, grandson of the first William, the emigrant, was among the first, or nearly so, in purchasing and preparing for the future abode in his family.  He might have removed there with his young family as soon as a part of his five hundred acre purchase was cleared and partially improved, and convenient buildings erected for their occupancy.  The dates are not at hand to determine the point.  But his oldest son was not born till 1713, and his youngest son was born in 1734.  Their births are all recorded in Lebanon, and his mother, Mary, died in Lebanon 1736.  The distance being about forty miles from Lebanon to Brimfield, no doubt a part of the family remained till after the death of their grandmother, Mary, and perhaps all of them spent their winters there till Brimfield could be made to seem to them a real home.    [Frederic Janes – The Janes Family: A Genealogy & Brief History of the Descendants of William Janes]
