John Bellows married in Concord MA, 9 May 1655, Mary Wood, daughter of John Wood (in his will of 26 November 1677, "John Woods Senior of Marlborough" made a bequest to "my son-in-law John Bellows." She died at Marlborough on 16 September 1707.
They had nine children: Mary, Samuel, Abigail Lawrence, Isaac, John, Thomas, Eleazer, Daniel, & Nathaniel.
The last child of John Bellows was born in Concord early in 1676, and son Daniel died there a few months later, indicating that this family retreated to Concord after the raid on Marlborough early in King Philip's War.
John Bellows in his will listed all his living children, and divided his estate among them at marriage or age twenty-one, but Mary and Abigail were already twenty-one, and Abigail was already married, and had received her portion. His inclusion of Abigail in this list must have been an oversight. Mary was apparently still unmarried at the time of writing of the will.
The 1898 Bellows genealogy gives John Bellows a tenth child, Benjamin, born at Concord 18 January 1676/7, and tells us that this Benjamin was father of Col. Benjamin Bellows, the founder of Walpole, New Hampshire [Bellows Gen 4], but no son Benjamin is named in the will of John Bellows. The full entry for this birth reads "Benjamin Bellowes the son of Mary Bellowes born January the 18th day 1676[/7]." The eldest child of John Bellows was Mary, born in 1657, and this record should be interpreted as the birth of an illegitimate son of Mary, making this Benjamin grandson and not son of the immigrant.
We do not learn who the father of Benjamin was, but five years later Mary was summoned to court, apparently for fornication. On 29 September 1682, Jonathan Johnson, Marlborough constable, informed the court that "I have warned Isaac Woods to appear the next Tuesday at Cambridge according to the warrant and I went to Goodman Bellowses house to warn Mary Bellows; her father not being at home, her mother told me that she was not at home and she could not tell where she was and that she had been gone from home a week and more and that she thought that Goodman Fox and Isaac Bellows had concealed her away; also I have warned John Mainard and James Woods for to appear for witnesses in the case." On 3 October 1682, "Mary Bellows being warned to the court & legally called, made no appearance & an attachment for her appearance at next court is ordered to be sent out against her." No further records of this case have been found.
