Notes:

From FindaGrave:
Born about 1624 in Nantasket or Cape Ann MA to Gov. Roger & Sarah (Horton) Conant. Married 1649-1650 to Elizabeth Walton. Their child: Mary (Conant) Burley.

Find A Grave contributor Ken Smith adds:
Lot Conant was born in Dorchester or Cape Ann, Massachusetts, about 1624. He was the son of Roger Conant, who was the original Governor of Cape Ann & Salem, and his wife, Sarah Horton. He married, before 1650, Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. William Walton and Elizabeth Cooke, who was born in Seaton, Devonshire, England in 1629. Lot and Elizabeth were living in Marblehead as early as 1657. Lot was a selectman there in 1662.
In 1666, Lot's father gave him the homestead at Beverly including over 100 acres. On the same day, Lot leased back to his father the house and three acres for an annual rent of "one Indian corn". About this time, Lot probably moved his family back to Beverly and built a house near his father's, because "a dwelling house and orchard containing about 4 acres, with an old house of his father" is mentioned in the inventory of Lot's estate. In 1667 he was one of the founding members of the new church at Bass River, or Beverly. In March of 1670 and March of 1671, he sold his Marblehead houses and lands.
Lot and Elizabeth had ten children, eight born in Marblehead and the last two in Beverly. Lot was described in land deeds as "Lot Conant, yeoman", but in addition to his role as a farmer, he must have also had a trade, possibly shoemaker, as evidenced by his bequest of "the shop and tools" to son Nathaniel in his will. It is known that Nathaniel was a shoemaker. Lot Conant wrote his will on September 24, 1674, and died on September 29, in Beverly. His estate was valued at 780 Pounds. Two years later, Elizabeth married, as his third wife, Andrew Mansfield of Lynn. The death of Elizabeth is not recorded at Beverly, she may have died in Lynn. She was however, alive in 1683 when her husband died.

Birth:
There is conflicting information on exactly where Lot was born. Nantasket, Dorchester, and Cape Ann are all contenders.

Lot married Elizabeth Walton about 1649 in Essex, Massachusetts, United States. Elizabeth (daughter of Rev. William Walton and Elizabeth Cooke) was born on 9 Oct 1629 in Seaton, Devon, England; died after 1683 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Elizabeth was the daughter of Rev. William Walton and Elizabeth Cooke, she was baptized in Seaton, Devonshire, England on October 27, 1629.

This informative bio was posted by the initial Memorialist:

"Rev. William WALTON was born on 13 Sep 1605 in Seaton, Devonshire, England. He died on 6 Nov 1668 in Marblehead, Essex Co., Massachusetts. He was a Minister. He married Elizabeth Cooke, daughter of William and Martha (White) Cooke of Stratton, England. William Walton died of apoplexy 9 November 1668 at Marblehead. It is believed his resting place is "Ould Burial Hill. The last official record of Elizabeth was in 1670. She died in 1682 and the final settlement of the property was made 29 March 1685."

Additional biographical information about William Walton, here follows:

William Walton [. . .] was born in Devonshire, England. He attended Emmanuel College, Cambridge (degrees in 1621 and 1625) and may have become a separatist minister soon after he left the university. A nineteenth century source (James Savage) states that William Walton was "no doubt ordained" and served at Seaton in Devon. But our source does not specifically state that Walton served as clergy there. [. . .]

William and Elizabeth Walton had nine children.

The Waltons sailed to Massachusetts with other Puritans in what many historians term the "Great Migration" (approximately 1620 – 1634). This movement of several thousand included some propertied families as well as at least a handful of generally well educated male heads of households. William and Elizabeth Walton were among these promising early settlers.[. . .]

If William Walton was ordained in England, he seems to have pursued other activities in Hingham, Lynn, Manchester and Marblehead, MA, where he was living when he died in 1668. James Savage, our nineteenth century source (everyone's source) who says he checked the documents, stated that Walton received a ministerial allowance in Marblehead.

Savage speculates that Walton may have been employed as a teacher during winter months. Savage found William Walton the proprietor of an establishment in Manchester called Jeffery's Cove. These surmises indicate that William and Elizabeth arrived in America without great wealth. (What kinds of activities did the Puritans permit to take place in the Cove?)

Papers filed in probate court in Marblehead, which undertook to settle his intestate property, refer to William as "Mr" Walton and make no references that might infer clerical activities. (But "Mr" was a generally applicable term.) His widow, Elizabeth, was permitted to administer her husband's affairs and was instructed by the court to keep the estate together during her life and to pay William's debts.

After her death, Elizabeth Walton's son, Samuel, together with his brothers and sisters, returned to court in 1683 to affirm that the family had reached agreement among themselves as to the disposition of their parents' possessions. Son Samuel Walton was given a cow and leased another from his siblings, to be paid for from his part of the residue of the estate.[. . .]

DID WILLIAM WALTON COMMEND MEN TO GOD

by

Richard Baldwin Cook
(copyright 2010)

Did William Walton commend men to God?
We check old records which uncertain be.
Faintest paths in England show he trod
Routes of unmastered Pilgrims, to be free.

With two degrees from Cambridge in his cap,
Will Walton in a Seaton pastorate.
No sign there of ejection or mishap,
Our William yet migrated from that state.

Arrived in Boston, 1635
With pinched pocketbook. William always strove
For funds, that Lizbeth and their nine might thrive.
Will forsook church duties, ran Jeffreys Cove.

Pilgrims censured conduct, cite Holy Writ.
What business at the Cove did they permit?

Birth:
Based on his entry into college and his marriage date

Education:
Two degrees

Immigration:
granted land in Hingham in 1635.

Died:
Findagrave lists his death as 6 Nov 1688. Records show it was actually 1668.

William married Elizabeth Cooke on 10 Apr 1627 in Dorchester, Dorset, England. Elizabeth (daughter of William Cooke and Martha White) was born in 1602 in Crediton, Devon, England; died in 1682 in Marblehead, Essex, Massachusetts, United States; was buried in Marblehead, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.
