Ephraim and Judith were married by the Honorable Samuel Sewall, now known as the "witch" judge, and moved to Stoughton, MA in 1726 or 1727. In 1765, part of Stoughton MA, was set aside and called Stoughtonham. It became a separate town in 1775 and was named Sharon in 1783.
Ephraim was a carpenter. In an article by John Phillips in The Sharon Advocate(1911) we find, "About 1725, Matthew Hobbs sold 50 acres to Benjamin Hewins, John Hixon (a mason) and Ephraim Payson (a carpenter) who formed a company and built a dam and furnace to make wroght iron."
Ephraim and his wife Judith (Clapp) Payson had ten children, order of birth uncertain of the last five children listed, information was taken from Hawes-Payson Genealogical Register found at New England Historic Genealogical Society Library in Boston, MA.
