An American Family History

John Kilham was born in England. His parents were Austin and Alice Kilham.

According to Preston he married Alice Pickworth. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register says he married Hannah Pickworth.

John's children were Hannah Kilham (April, 29 1660), Samuel Kilham (August 1, 1662), Anne Kilham Masters (April, 1673), Benjamin Kilham (February 3, 1674) and Abigail Kilham Masters.
