ANTHONY, Newbury, came from Southampton in the Confidence, as serv. to Stephen Kent, 1638, as the rec. has it, 9 yrs. old, the fig. on the left hand being lost, would, perhaps, be supplied by 2, for he was adm. freem. 6 Sept. 1639; was a shoemak. m.

William in the chart. by Increse Mather, and made one of the judges in Sup. Ct. 1701, from wh. place Gov. Dudley rem. him, and two yrs. later negat. him as counsel. For sec. w. he took, 1680, Elizabeth wid. of Peter Lidget, Esq. and she made her will 14 Apr. 1682, prob. hav. such power by her contr. of m. and in July foll. attempt. to destr. hers. as by the diary of Noadiah Russell, in Geneal.

From this w. aft. long disagr. he separat. hims. and very curious matter a. the affair may be read in Baylies, I. V. 56-61; but far more interest is found in the letter to S. from Cotton Mather, 3 Mass. Hist. ColI. 137, writ. only ten days bef. d. of S. prob. therefore never rec. It is one of the happiest of the eccentric writer's productions; and highly piquant would have been the reply of the judge to his ghostly adviser, had he liv. to offer one. The will, made two days bef. pro. two days aft. his d. in wh. nothing is giv. to his w. and L5 to Cotton Mather, confirms this conject. He d. at B. 29 July 1710, and Hutch.

See Wood's Athene Oxon. NATHANIEL, Haverhill, s. of Richard the sec. was prob. the first male of this disting. fam. b. on our side of the ocean, freem. 1665, rep. 1666, 8-71, Assist. 1679 and until the vacat. of our old chart. 1686, but again an overthrow of Andros, tho. the k. had made him one of the coun. to Dudley; yet was nam. again in the new chart. and a judge of the Sup.

But many yrs. he was head of the Essex militia. He m. 28 Dec. 1663, Elizabeth d. of Rev. John Ward, had Gurdon, b. 27 Mar. 1666, H. C. 1684, the disting. min. of New London, and Gov. of Conn.

Of his hon. descend. large acco. may be read in 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. V. 154, and 3 M. H. C. IX. 119, but more in Bond's copious Hist. of Watertown. PETER, by the hist. of the Ancient and Hon. Art. Co. made one of the corps 1644, is prob. name without right giv. by Whitman, as if he were s. of Sir Richard, for no such person is ever heard of elsewhere, and Bond rejects it as any of our N.

Earnest. he befriend. onr country in Eng. by thought, word, and deed; and was active, with the Lords Brooke, Say and Seal and other puritans in the first settlem. of Conn. By his first w. Grace, d. of Robert Kaye, Esq. of Yorksh. he had four s. Richard, b. 1610; Robert; Samuel; and Henry; two ds. Rosamond, perhaps the eldest ch. and Grace. By uncert. tradit. he is giv. two other ws. one said to be d. of the Earl of Delaware, for wh. in Collins's Peerage no support can be seen, and the other, less improb.

Hist. Soc. Proceed. His will was made 1658, at the age of 72. RICHARD, Ipswich, s. of the preced. by his f. brot. 1630, hav. left the Univ. of Cambridge, where he was entr. at Emanuel Coll. as a fellow commoner, 18 Apr. 1627, from Yorksh. and matricula. 14 Dec. foll. adm. freem. of Mass. 18 Oct. 1631, and next mo. went home, by circuitous voyage of six wks. to Virg. and m. in Eng. a. 1633, Meriel, d. of Brampton Gurdon of Assington, Co. Suff'k. near the ancestr. resid. of our first Gov. Winthrop and emb. on return in the Susan and Ellen 1635, with that w. aged 22, and d. of the same name, was rep. in Mar. 1636 and foll. sess. until chos. an Assist. in May 1637, and in 1641 was made first offic. under Endicott, of the Essex regim. when only two were in the Col. went home again, perhaps for the health of his w. 1649, as told in the anecdote relat. of Rev. John Cotton in note to Hutch. I. 94. For many yrs. he was not chos. Assist. but in 1664 in hope of his com. again, the honor was renew. and it was erron. assert. that he had been aft. in the country, bec. in 1672 he gave L50. to relief of Goffe and Whalley, the regicides. In 1680, however, he once more in Mass. and in May organizat. made an Assist. tak. the o. in Aug. wh. was renew. in 1681 and 2, but in this latter yr. he went home again, as the hope of preserv. liberty under the old chart. evapora. and d. 20 or 29 Apr. 1694, at Hulme, in Lancashire, at the ho. of Sir Edward Morley, wh. m. his eldest d. Other ch. were Richard, wh. d. young, prob. unm. certain. and Nathaniel, bef. ment. also Abigail, wh. m. Thomas Harley, s. of Sir Robert, and uncle to the famous Robert, prime min. of [[9]] Queen Anne, the friend of Pope and Swift, well kn. as Earl of Oxford (see Collin's Peerage, IV. 244, Ed. 5, and correct the slight error there); beside Elizabeth wh. m. Hercules Horsey, Esq. Instruct. may be got as to the just value of tradit. from a note in Hutch. II. 122, in wh. is read the story of a letter from Mrs. Harley to her sis. in N. E. that was many yrs. preserv. aft. the d. of that disting. statesman, for this passage in it; "I am now going to carry Bob. up to the inns of ct. to make a man of him," and Hutch. wh. seldom falls into such an error, makes the mo. "gr.d. of Sir Richard S." and this H. introduc. by refer. to "a tradit. that Harley had some N. E. blood in him, his mo. being a gr.d. of Sir Richard S." Now beside that this gr.d. of Sir Richard S. had no sis. here to write unto, the tale is false in the most vital pt. as usual, for she, being w. of his uncle, not of his f. could transmit no blood to he Lord High Treasurer. ROBERT, Watertown, br. of the preced. ar. co. 1638, was prob. at Windsor 1640-2, engag. for his f. or elder br. but allow. Francis Stiles to lead him into gr. useless expense, from wh. both suffer. inconven. to their dying day. He d. 1650, unm.; in his will of 13 June, pro. 15 Aug. nam. only relat. his f. brs. Richard, Samuel, and Henry, sis. Rosamond and Grace, and made John Clark excor. wh. forthwith renounc. his office. See Geneal. Reg. VII. 334. SAMUEL, Watertown, br. of the preced. of wh. we would, glad. kn. more than Farmer told, of his d. 21 Jan. 1696. Even in the gr. Hist. of W. Bond could add only that admin. was tak. in Oct. foll. by his neph. Nathaniel, saying that he had no active participat. in munici. concerns, nor is w. or ch. found in the rec. But in that vol. p. 918, amends are made by one of the finest letters of that age from his sis. Rosamond, 22 Apr. 1644. She was then resid. in conseq. of the loss of his prop. by her f. in the family of the puritan Earl of Warwick, Ld. High Adm. and her sis. with the lady of the Earl of Manchester, one of the ch. command. in the civil war. Of descend. of Sir Richard, in the male line, thirteen had, in 1834, been gr. at Harv. and six at Yale. SAMFIELD, AUSTEN, Fairfield 1658, d. 1661, leav. small prop. to wid. and no ch. heard of. SAMPSON, ABRAHAM, Duxbury 1638, perhaps br. of Henry, m. a d. of Samuel Nash, and Windsor says, he had a sec. w. His ch. were Abraham, Isaac, Samuel, wh. was by the Ind. in Philip's war, and George, b. 1655. ABRAHAM, Duxbury, s. of the preced. m. Sarah, d. of Alexander Standish, had Abraham, b. 1686; Miles, 1690; Ebenezer; Rebecca; Sarah; and Grace. CALEB, Duxbury, s. perhaps youngest, of Henry, m. Mary, d. of Alexander Standish, had, says Windsor, Rachel and Lora. GEORGE, Duxbury, or Plympton, s. of the first Abraham, by w. Elizabeth had Joseph, b. 14 May 1679; Abigail, 22 Jan. 1681; [[10]] Judith, 3 Mar. 1683; Ruth, 22 Dec. 1684; Benjamin, 19 Sept. 1686; Martha, 25 Oct. 1689; George, 10 Mar. 1691; Elizabeth 22 Dec. 1692; William, 8 July 1693; and Seth, 22 Dec. 1697. His w. d. 27 May 1727, in her 70th yr. and he d. 26 July 1739, in his 84th yr. as Windsor tells. HENRY, Plymouth 1620, came in the Mayflower, of the fam. of his uncle, Edward Tilley, a youth too small to sign the immortal compact of Nov. at Cape Cod; but whether, or not, entit. in the div. of lds. he was certain. in the div. of cattle, 1627, enumerat. in the comp. of Elder Brewster, liv. on Duxbury side, m. 6 Feb. 1636, Ann Plummer, had Stephen, John, James, Caleb, Elizabeth Hannah, Mary, and, perhaps, Dorcas, but when Bradford wrote, 1650, only seven ch. and d. 24 Dec. 1684. Elizabeth m. Robert Sproat; Hannah m. Josiah Holmes; Mary m. John Summers; Dorcas m. Thomas Bonney; and one d. it is said, m. John Hammond, but he is not of my aquaint. ISAAC, Duxbury, s. of Abraham, m. Lydia, d. of Alexander Standish, had Isaac, b. 1688; Jonathan, 1690; Josiah, 1692; Lydia, 1694; Ephraim, 1698; Priscilla, 1702; and Barnabas, 1705. JAMES, Dartmouth 1686. JOHN, Boston, merch. rem. perhaps, to Beverly 1671, there m. a d. of Richard Haynes, and bef. the begin. of Ind. war, 1675, may have liv. at Scarborough. Ano. JOHN, at New London, m. aft. 1672, not long bef. 1676, the wid. mo. of John Stodder, or Stother, a youth of only 16, wh. possess. by a malice almost incredib. murder. with an axe, 6 June 1678, Zipporah, w. of Thomas Bolles, with two of her ch. Joseph, and Mary, and soon aft. murder. John Sampson, s. of his mo. aged betw. one and two yrs. as by his own confess. is seen in the rec. of his trial at Hartford. For the soundness of the maxim in common law, malitia supplet aetatem, I believe, no stronger prorf can be found since the creation, in the stories of juven. depravity. He acknowl. that he k. his br. with a hatchet "bec. he cried, and bec. he did not love the ch. nor his f." and was execut. 9 Oct. foll. RICHARD, by Farmer call. of Boston, the freem. of 1674, I dare not accept, but think, was rather appropr. by New Hampsh. ROBERT, Boston 1630, came in the same sh. with Gov. Winthrop wh. calls him cous. in a let. to his w. Apr. bef. depart. from Isle of Wight. His fam. was ancient. in the rank of knights, resid. at Sampson's Hall in the parish of Kersey, adj. Groton, where was patron as well as lord of the manor. He was s. of John, by Bridget Clopton, sis. of the sec. w. of our Gov. W. By Whitman he is count. a memb. of the ar. co. 1639; but it seems far more prob. (as we never hear of him aft.) that he was some yrs. gone home. ROGER, Ipswich 1654. STEPHEN, Duxbury, s. of Henry, had Benjamin; Cornelius; Hannah; Mary; Elizabeth; John, b. 17 Aug. 1688; Dorcas; and Abigail. SAMS, or SAMMES, CONSTANTINE, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Richard, [[11]] b. 7 Oct. 1678; Mary, 2 Dec. 1684; Mercy, 3 July 1687, d. soon; and Mercy, again, 12 Jan. 1689. JOHN, Roxbury 1640, went to Eng. and at Coggeshall, in Co. Essex, was success. in the pulpit of celebr. John Owen, D. D. says Calamy, from wh. he was eject. 1675; and the eccles. hist. tells, that he was educat. in N. E. Very strange it seems, that no more is kn. of him here, but that in R. he purch. lds. of Rev. Thomas Weld, of capt. John Johnson, and of Joseph Weld, a. 1640, to amount, in aggreg. of L134. and that in Sept. 1642, Gov. Thomas Dudley, on ex'con. for L51. got the whole, in pt. satisfact. thereof, by appraisem. at L42, 17, 8 1/2, so that little benefit of his acres was enjoy. by the poor scholar, wh. could not redeem his est. See Dudley's investit. in Reg. of Suff'k. Deeds, I. 37. RALPH, Dorchester, a tailor, rem. to Boston bef. 1659; and was liv. 1663. THOMAS, Salem, had gr. of ld. in 1638, as Felt. tells, and liv. at Marblehead 1648. Yet he may have been of Roxbury 1637, and one of the appraisers on inv. of Edward Blackley. SAMUEL, JOHN, Boston, wh. m. 24 Dec. 1652, wid. Lucy Wight, is call. mariner in 1656; and he d. 8 Dec. 1662, or his inv. was then made. SAMWAYS, SAMWAYES, SAMOIS, or SAMWIS, JOHN, Huntington, L. I. adm. freem. of Conn. 1644, perhaps was s. of the foll. RICHARD, Windsor 1640, had one ch. wh. d. 1648, and he d. 1650, leav. wid. Esther, and perhaps, two ch. But the name was not long in W. so that, by var. spell. Hinman, 71, made two out of him. SANBORN, ancient. SAMBORNE, BENJAMIN, Hampton, s. of the first John, by first w. Sarah, wh. d. 29 June 1720, had Mary, b. 27 Oct. 1690, Joanna, 1 Dec. 1692; Sarah, 30 Sept. 1694; Theodate, 1696; Dorothy, 27 Oct. 1698; Abigail, 21 July 1700; Jemima, 17 May 1702; Susanna, 20 Sept. 1704; Benjamin, 1 June 1706, d. young; Judith, 26 Oct. 1708; Benjamin, again, 7 Nov. 1712. He next m. Meribah Tilton, a wid. and had Ebenezer, 10 Oct. 1723; and this w. d. 15 Dec. 1740; and he had third w. Abigail Dalton, perhaps wid. of the sec. Philemon, and d. of Edward Gove. JOHN, Hampton 1643, by tradit. said to have come from Co Derby, and more prob. to be s. of John by a d. of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, wh. left three s. John, William, and Stephen, to the care of their gr.f. by wh. they were brot. in the William and Francis, arr. at Boston from London, 5 June 1632. For first w. he took Mary, d. of Robert Tuck of H. wh. d. 30 Dec. 1668, hav. borne him John, 1649; Mary, 12 Apr. 1651, d. young; Abigail, 23 Feb 1653; Richard, 4 Feb. 1655; Mary, again, 19 Mar. 1657, d. young; Joseph, 13 Mar. 1659; Stephen, 12 Nov. 1661, d. soon; Ann, 20 Dec. 1662; Nathaniel, 27 Jan. 1666; Benjamin, 20 Dec. 1668; and by sec. w. wid.

JOHN, Hampton, eldest s. of the preced. m. 19 Nov. 1674, Judith Coffin, prob. d. of the sec.

JOSIAH, Hampton, s. of William of the same, m. 25 Aug. 1681, Hannah Moulton, had William, b. 2 Mar. 1682; Hannah, 1684; and Sarah, 1686. He m. 1690, Sarah, wid. of Jonathan Perkins, had Jabez, Mar. 1691; Keziah, 15 Mar. 1693; Rachel, 13 Mar. 1695; Jonathan, 27 Apr. 1697; Reuben, 10 Apr. 1699; Abner, 9 Sept. 1702; and Richard, 9 Aug. 1705. His w. or wid. d. 1 Sept. 1748, aged 85. MEPHIBOSHETH, Hampton, br. of the preced m. Lydia Leavitt, had Mary, b. 24 Feb. 1695; Lydia, 11 June 1697; Sarah, 1699; Nathan, 8 Aug. 1701; Abigail, 23 Oct. 1704; James, 1706; and Rachel, 15 Feb. 1708, and d. 5 Feb. 1749.

But in the fam. geneal. when we read that he had sec. w. Sarah, it would be agreeable to discern what portion of these eleven ch. all liv. in 1721, were b. respective. by ea. as great unwillingness must be felt at inflict. the whole on either. RICHARD, Hampton, br. of the preced. m. 5 Dec. 1678, Ruth Moulton, had Mary, b. 30 Sept. 1679; John, 6 Nov. 1681; and Ruth; but by sec. w. m. 20 Dec. 1693, wid. Mary, of sec. Nathaniel Boulter, he had Shubael, b. next yr. STEPHEN, Hampton, br. perhaps youngest, of the first John, went home, it is said, with his gr.f. Bachiler, wh. had brot. him, of course, in his youth.

Mary Moulton, had William, b. 1650; Josiah, bef. ment.; Mary, 19 July 1660; Mehibosheth, 5 Nov. 1663; Sarah, 12 Feb. 1667; and Stephen, 4 Sept. 1671; was selectman, rep. and d. 18 Sept. 1692.

SANBROOKE, THOMAS, Boston, whose will of 16 May 1649, pro. 6 Feb. foll. is seen in Geneal. Reg. VII. 227, could not be other than a trans. trader here. SANDERBANT, JOHN, the freem. of 10 May 1643, is, I doubt not, blunder of Mr. Secr. for Sunderland, as shall in that place be explain. SANDON, or SANDERS, Salem 1639, on Marblehead side, had license to keep an inn, and in 1645 to sell wine; d. a. 1667. SANDS, or SANDES, JAMES, Block Isl. now call. New Shoreham, was b. it is said, 1622, at Reading, Co. Berks, came with w. Sarah, and, perhaps, was of Taunton 1658, but among first sett. at the Isl. bef. 1672; had Sarah, wh. m. prob. bef. 1673, Nathaniel Niles, and tradit. tells, that he had been as early as 1643, of Portsmouth, R.

Mercy m. 29 Apr. 1683, Joshua Raymond; and that she was incident. connect. with the famous pirate, Wiliam Kidd. Beside that Mercy he had John, James, Samuel, and ano. s. and d. 13 Mar. 1695. James and Samuel liv. at Cowneck, on L. I. JOHN, Charlestown, d. 28 June 1659; but as this surname is not seen in the rec. of ch. or of town resid. 1654, he may have been only trans. inhab. SANDY, or SANDIE, sometims SAND, JOHN, Boston, m. 7 July 1653, Ann Holmes, had Elizabeth b. 15 Oct. 1654; and Mary, 24 Oct. 1656. SANDYS, HENRY, Boston, merch. adm. of the ch. with w.

He went with Coddington, Hutchinson, and others, to purch. R. I. and liv. at Portsmouth, the N. end of the isl. is in the list of freem. there 1655, was constable, treasr. Secr. Assist. 1647, and chos. head of the Colo. as Presid. in May 1653. One or more of his ch. were tak. by the Ind. when they k. Mrs. Hutchinson, it is said; and the friend. visit from a distance of a hundred and thirty miles, shows the intimacy the poor wid. kept up with old acquaint. When he d. is not heard. JOHN, Boston, by w. Bridget had Ann, wh. d. 26 Aug. 1654, as prob. the f. had good time bef. and the wid. m. lieut. William Phillips of B. who gave security, 10 Mar. 1657, to four ch. of said John, for portions of his est. in conform. with his will. But wh. those ch. were, is not ascertain. JOHN, Portsmouth, R.

JOHN, Boston, the sch.master, wh. I rejoice to say, taught writ.; m. 19 Feb. 1657, Sarah, wid. of Robert Potter, was perhaps, the freem. of 11 Oct. 1670, and d. 10 Feb. 1677. His will, of 19 Jan. preced. pro. 24 Apr. foll. ment. no ch. but gives all est. to w.

At Scarborough, in 1663, may have been one of this name, unless erron. giv. in Geneal. Reg. V. 264, as may well be suspect. from the many mistakes in that list.

SANKEYS, ROBERT, Saco, came in the Increase from London, Apr. 1635, aged 30, sent by Robert Cordell, a goldsmith of Lombard street, says the rec. at custom-ho. appears as a witness with Cleves and Tucker, to the import. deed of 30 Mar. preced. from Richard Vines, agent of Sir Ferdinand Gorges, to Arthur Mackworth. Mr. Willis, in Hist. of Portland, I. 32, recit. the docum. makes it 1635, as "in the eleventh yr. of Charles," keeping in mind, that the tenth yr. of that reign end. 27 Mar. 1635, of course three days later was within the eleventh. Now this witness was then in London, and so, I suppose, tho. dated in 1635, the indent. was not actually deliver. for some months aft. Possib. eleventh may be error of the instrum. for twelth. But I leave the solution to the perspicacity of so good a judge. He was appoint. by Gorges, in 1640, Provost Marshal, and sat in the first Gen. Ct. of that Province, with other dignitaries, 25 June of that yr. Willis, I. 47. Of the doings of that Ct. I employ. an amnanuensis to take large extr.

Farmer thot. him the preach. at Malden 1648-50, of wh. slight ment. is seen in Jonson's W. W. Providences, Book III. cap. 7; yet as the min. is not nam. by Mather, he might be supos. to have gone home, but he was never ord. acting only as lay preach. This William had long puzzled me much, but my final infer. was that he rem. to Barnstable, where he succeed. famous John Lothrop in the pulpit, and where a will of one William, 9 Mar. 1680, names w. Sarah, s. John, and Samuel, ds. Ruth Bourne (wh. had been wid. of Jonathan Winslow of Marshfield, m. Richard B. of Sandwich, July 1677, and had third h.

Henry; and by the two ws. he had eleven ch. but Babson ment. no names, and thinks he rem. bef. 1721. Glad. would I learn, wh. was f. of that Nathaniel, gr. at Harv. 1707, by the catal. mark. as d. 1762, for to him Stephen Glover of G. gave all his prop. requir. that he should be "bred up to learn." Of this name eighteen had been, in 1843, gr. at Harv. nine at Dart. and two at Yale. SATCHELL, SATCHWELL, or SETCHELL. See Shatswell. SATTERLY, or SHATTERLY, BENEDICT, New London, there liv. but few yrs. d. a. 1689; leav. perhaps, a s. and two ds. Sarah, wh. m. Joseph Wickham of Killingworth; and Rebecca, m. Joseph Swasey of L. I.

DANIEL, Cambridge, d. 27 Feb. 1640, and no more is kn. of him. EDWARD, Portsmouth 1639, may be the man punish. at Watertown, 1654, for abuse of Ruth Parsons. See Col. Rec. III. 364. GEORGE, Windsor, br. of Christopher, propound. for freem. 1667, when he was ens. at Killingworth, m. bef. 1675, Mary, d. of George Saxton, had George, perhaps by former w. old eno. at least to be tax. with his f. 1675; and d. 16 Nov. 1690, leav.

Stiles prints Russell, had, he says, Hannah, b. 23 May previous, and he d. 5 Dec. 1697. Very much confusion a. this name exists, and it may not be wholly dissipat. by reducing two Georges to one. JAMES, Haverhill, took the o. of alleg. 1677. JOHN, Weymouth 1622, sent by Weston as gov. or overseer of his planta. gave up next yr. the undertak. and prob, went home. JOHN, prob. at Ipswich 1635, freem. 25 May 1636, was permit. with Samuel Dudley and others, to found Colchester, soon call.

To prevent confus. of the two Johns, we may further note, that one of the name came in the Confidence of London, aged 25, husbandman of Longford, also in Co. Wilts, with w. Sarah, emb. at Southampton 24 Apr. 1638; and if we accept him as the John to wh. (with w. Sarah) Coffin gives ch.

It may indeed seem that she might have been sis. of either of the two. JOHN, Salem 1637, mem. of the ch. had m. a d. of the firt Joseph Grafton, in his will of 28 Oct. 1642, pro. Dec. 1643, ment. s.

JONATHAN, Watertown, s. of Edward, perhaps the only one, m. 24 Oct. 1669, Abia, youngest d. of Thomas, Bartlett of W. had Abia and Jonathan, tw. b. 28 Oct. 1673; Thomas, 10 Mar. 1675; John, 25 Mar. 1677; Benjamin, 28 May 1679; Samuel, 28 May 1681; Edward 3 Mar. 1684; and Hannah, 31 May, bapt. at W. 14 July 1689; was constable 1695, selectman, and deac. many yrs. His w. d. 13 Sept. 1723, and he d. 3 Sept. 1735. JOSEPH, Boston, s. perhaps, of Robert the first, by w. Mary had Mary, b. 6 July 1666. JOSEPH, Groton, s. of William, m. 30 July 1714, Sarah, d. of Samuel Page of Concord, had David, b. 5 Sept. 1715; Sarah, 19 Jan. 1717; William, 17 July 1718; Hannah, 5 Apr. 1720; Joseph, 17 Mar. 1722, d. soon; Susanna, 18 May 1723; Gideon, 19 Feb. 1725; Joseph, again, 5 Mar. 1727; Sarah, again, 15 Oct. 1729; and John, 13 Dec. 1731. ROBERT, Hampton 1638, freem. 7 Sept. 1639, by. w. Lydia had Mary, bapt. 27 Oct. 1639; rem. to Watertown 1642, prob. aft. m. Mary, wid. of John Cross of H. and had Joseph, b. 1 Jan. 1643; Benjamin, bapt. 29 July 1649; Sarah, 19 Jan. 1651; Robert, perhaps 3 Oct. 1652; and John, wh. d. 17 Sept. 1658; rem. next yr. to Boston, and was partner in gainful business, with John Hull, the night master. He had, also, eldest ch. by first w. perhaps b. in Eng. Lydia, wh. was m. (by Gov. Bellingham), 13 Dec. 1654, to Thomas Jones; but as no more is [[23]] told of either of the young couple, I conject. they went to Eng. He had sec. w. Elizabeth was deac. and d. 7 Oct. 1693, not 6, as Farmer gave it. By his will, of 18 July, pro. 20 Oct. his w. was made extrix. and in her will of 15 Sept. 1694, prob. 21 Nov. 1695, is evid. proof, that ch. and gr.ch. nam. in the will of her h. were not his, but hers. No blood relat. of his, exc. br. Edward, and s. Robert can with confid. be found in his own will. ROBERT, Cambridge, s. of the preced. by w. Elizabeth had Joseph, b. 10 Oct. 1684; and he took sec. w. in Boston, 21 Dec. 1693, Sarah Crow. WILLIAM, Watertown, perhaps s. of the first Robert, says Bond, but prob. was not, old eno. to sw.fidel. by w.

This name is sometimes abbrev. of its last syllab. and oft. is without u. SAVAGE, EBENEZER, Boston, s. of the first Thomas, was of ar. co. 1682, m. Martha, d. of capt. Bozoan Allen, had Mary, b. 15, bapt. 19 Aug. 1683, and he d. next yr. EDWARD, Dorchester, if it be truly giv. 1664, as sign. the petitn. to the Gen. Ct. in vindicat. of our liberties. See Hist. of D. 200. But I doubt the name is wrong, and the writer in Geneal. Reg. V. 395, giv. the same list, in wh. this is Nov. 40, when he aft. publ. acco. of all the subscrib. to that docum. on p. 465, omits him. Of such a man in other connex. nothing is kn. and the same Hist. 38, gather. 134 first sett. of the town, includes but one Edward, and his surname was Raymond. EPHRAIM, Boston, s, of the first Thomas, by w. Mary, eldest d. of the sec. Edmund Quincy of Braintree, had Mary, b. 19 Nov. 1671, d. soon; Mary, again, 8, bapt. 13 Apr. 1673; John, 30 Nov. bapt. 6 Dec. 1674, H. C. 1694; and Hannah, 7, bapt. 13 Aug. 1676, wh. d. early.

For third w. Elizabeth wid. of Timothy Symmes, d. of capt. Francis Norton of Charlestown, the ceremo. of m. 12 Apr. 1688, was perform. by Rev.

She d. 13 Apr. 1710, and for fourth w. he m. 8 Jan. 1713, Elizabeth d. of Abraham Brown of B. wid. of Peter Butler. of the [[24]] same; but had no issue by the two later ws. and all the ch. by the first w. d. young; but of the sec. w. three ds. were m. and liv. long. He was freem. 1672, ar.co. 1674, its capt. 1683, and was many yrs. town clk. and in that period the rec. were careful. kept, exc. when he was engag. with his f. in Philip's war, and serv. in the unhappy expedit. of Sir William Phips, 1690, then hav. command of one of the fleet, was rep. 1703. and six yrs. more, and took the head of a comp. of the force draft. and sent on serv. to Nova Scotia in the abortive campaign, 1707.

Male descent fail. here, but his s. both diffus. the blood; Hannah, by m. with Rev. Nathaniel Gookin of Cambridge, and Mary, by m. with Rev. Thomas Weld of Dunstable. HENRY, Haverhill 1644, may be the man wh. m. Elizabeth d. of Thomas Walford of Portsmouth. JOHN, Middletown, freem. 1654, m. 10 Feb. 1652, Elizabeth Dubbin, at Hartford, if we may rely on the delightful vol. of "Hartford in the olden time;" to wh. objection is rais. on read. the rec. in Geneal.

XIII. 311, had Susanna, b. 23 Mar. 1673; and John, 24 June 1674; but, perhaps, he rem. and may have been of Portsmouth, N. H. 1689-1732. JOHN, Chatham, was constable 1681, as Plymouth rec. [[25]] tells. JOHN, Middletown, eldest s. of John of the same, m. 30 May 1682, Mary Ranney, d. of Thomas of the same, had John, b. 20 Feb. 1683, d. in few days; Thomas, 21 Aug. 1684; John, again, 30 Jan. 1686, d. in few mos.; John, again, 7 Aug. 1688; Mary, 11 Feb. 1691; William, late in July 1693; Elizabeth 1696; Abigail, Dec. 1698, d. at 3 mos.; Sarah, late in Sept. 1700; Rachel, 15 Jan. 1704; and Mercy, or this may be Mary, again, 10 Apr. 1706; as a capt and d. 31 Oct. 1726.

THOMAS, Boston, merch. s. of William of Taunton, Co.

His will, of 28 June 1675, the day of march. to Philip's war, was so well arrang. that in the resid. of his life no change was suggest. and it was pro. 9 Mar. 1682. The sermon on his d. by Williard, of O. S. ch. was print. and a copy was held by John Farmer of Concord, until he prefer. with his usual liberality, to bestow it on me. His wid. m.

Of that brief and blasted campaign, suffic. acco. may be read in a letter from him to his br. Perez in London, that was by his majesty's officer licens. and print. Apr. 1691. See 2 Mass. Hist. Coll.

Of this name, thirteen, all descend. of the first Thomas, had been gr. at Harv. in 1854, and four at Yale. SAVIL, SAVEL, SAVILS, or SAVALLS, BENJAMIN, Braintree, s. of William the first, had w.

SAMUEL, Woburn, perhaps br. of the preced. freem. 1684, yet it may be prob. that neither was of W. but of Braintree. He m. 10 Apr. 1672, Hannah, eldest d. of the first Joseph Adams, had Hannah, b. 13 July 1674; Abigail, 14 Feb. 1678; William and Deborah, tw. 19 Feb. 1680, both prob. d. early; Bethia, 17 Oct. 1681; beside eldest s.

Vexat. from contradict. rec. is frequent in these inquir. ad much refinem. will be need. to reconcile that m. as print, in Geneal. [[28]] Reg.

SAVORY, SAVORIE, or SAVARY, ANTHONY, Dartmouth 1686, then a townsman, may not be the one by Farmer said to come, 1640, from Slade, in Devonshire, with Thomas S. Yet no such place was found by me.

SAMUEL, Plymouth, perhaps s. of Thomas of the same, was aft. at Rochester, there had Mary, b. 3 Jan. 1678; Judah, 10 Jan. 1680; Susanna, 19 May 1690; and Samuel, 16 Nov. 1695; perhaps more ch. THOMAS, Plymouth, was in that serv. under Howland at Kennebeck, in Apr. 1634, when one of his compan. was k. by Hocking, wh. was forthwith k. by the Plymouth men. See the evid. in Geneal. Reg. IX. 80, and full relations by the Govs. Bradford of Plymouth and Winthrop of Mass. He was, I suppose, of Plymouth in 1643, had Moses, b. 22 Jan. 1650, d. soon; Samuel, 4 June 1651; Jonathan, or Thomas, 4 Mar. 1653, Mary, 7 Apr. 1654; and, perhaps, others. Either he or his s.

THOMAS, a passeng. in the Mary and John from London, with William, perhaps his br. perhaps f. or hav. tak. o. of suprema. and alleg. 24 Mar. 1634, may have sat down first at Ipswich, but on our side of the sea was of narrower, perhaps, or wider faith than his fellows, and so driv. to Newport 1639, perhaps next to Sandwich, unless the Plymouth man had right to that place. THOMAS, Scituate, s. perhaps of Thomas of Plymouth, was in the employm. of Hatherley, and a doz. yrs. aft. d. of H. was k. by the Ind. 26 Mar. 1676, as one of the comp. of capt. Peirce. He was unm. Of WILLIAM, that fellow-passeng. with Thomas [[29]] from London, 1634, in the Mary and John, it is equal. hard to follow any footstep. SAWDY, JOHN, Boston, cordwainer, by w.

He m. sec. w. 16 Feb. 1667, Judith, youngest ch. of Anthony Pierce, as Bond tells, 423; but my suspic. is very strong, that the m. was with John, the s. for she was under 17 yrs. at that time, and p. 932, he gives countenance to that conject. for he makes John jr. have w. of that name. He was selectman 1664 and 72, and d. 2 Sept. 1690. MUNNING, Watertown, s. of the preced. m. 15 or 18 Dec. 1681, Sarah, eldest d. of deac.

Rec. Sawyer. In the Paige catal. he is call. of Rowley, and there was tax. 1691, but he d. 30 May. 1689. Prob. his est. had not been admin. as all the ch. were too young.

Oft. this name seems Sawer, and Sayer. Ten are among gr. at Harv. ten at Dart. and one at Yale. SAXTON, or SEXTON, DANIEL, Westfield, perhaps s. of George, m. 28 Dec. 1680, Sarah, d. of John Bancroft, had Nathaniel, b. 22 Dec. foll. d. in 3 days; and Sarah, 6 Mar. 1683. GEORGE, Windsor, had John, b. there 26 May 1673, went back to Westfield, where he had liv. bef. and had Benjamin, a. 1667, said to be the first white b. in that place, wh. also liv. to old age, but Joseph bef. him, and prob.

GEORGE, Westfield, s. prob. eldest of the preced. had, by w. that d. 19 Sept. 1689, Charles, b. 9 Sept. 1680; and Nathaniel, 5 Dec. 1682; and rem. to Newtown, L. I. GILES, Boston or Charlestown, prob. arr. in the fleet with Winthrop for on 18 Sept. 1630, he was a witness bef. the coroner as to d. of William Bateman in the harb. near Pullen point, and on 28 of same serv. on inq. at Charlestown on the case of Austin Bratcher, k. by Walter Palmer; req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. foll. when the title Mr. is bef. his name, and was sw. 18 May next without that prefix. My conject. is that he soon went home, and that Deane was wrong in suppos. him the min. to wh. the Magnalia, III. 214, could not give Christian name, or tell time of com. or go. Better informa. is now enjoy. JAMES, Westfield, perhaps s. of George the first, or of Richard, by w. Hannah had John, b. 28 Jan. 1681; Hannah, 29 Oct. 1683; Phebe, 7 Jan. 1687; Elizabeth 5 Feb. 1689, wh. d. at 3 mos.; Mary, or [[32]] Mercy, 26 Dec. 1695; and James, 9 Nov. 1712; and d. 12 Dec. 1741.

JOSEPH, Stonington, m. Hannah, d. of capt. George Denison of the same, had Jerusha, and Mercy; but of him I hear no more, exc. that he was a capt. JOSEPH, Westfield, s. of George the first, m. 1690, Hannah, d. of the first Abel Wright of the same, had Gershom; Hannah, b. 1692; Joseph, 1694; Mindwell, 1696; Daniel, 1700, and Ezekiel, 1704; rem. to Enfield, and had Charles, 1708; and d. 1742, says Dr. Pease in the careful contribut. to Hinman, aged 76. PETER, Scituate 1640, aft. rem. of Lothrop, was from Yorksh. bred at Trinity Coll. Cambridge, where he proceed. A. M. 1603, adm. by Archbp. Hutton bef. 1606 to holy orders, liv. but few mos. in our country, and was not ord. yet may well be thot. one of the four min. that went home with dep.-gov. Humfrey, Dec. 1641, whose pious exclama. in the storm is so well told by Mather. Considera. offer was tender. him of good liv. in Kent; but, prefer. his native shire, he gain. the valua. vicarage of Leeds, to wh. the triumph of his party sent him in Apr. 1646, and there he d. 1 Oct. 1651. When here, his d. Silence m. capt. Samuel Pool. See Brook's Lives of the Puritans, III. 139. RICHARD, Windsor 1643, not early eno. to have been at Dorchester, yet said to have come in the ship Blessing, but the more important fact would have been a date, m. 16 Apr. 1646, Sarah Cook, perhaps sis. of Nathaniel, had Sarah, b. 23 Mar. 1648; John, 4 Mar. 1650; Mary, 27 Feb. 1652; Richard, 1 Mar. 1655, wh. fell in the gr. battle of Narraganset, 19 Dec. 1675; Patience, 28 June 1658, or Jan. 1659; Francis, 11 or 17 Jan. 1662, d. at 4 yrs. He d. 3 May 1662, and his wid. d. 13 June 1674; but in Stiles's Hist. 770, the ds. of h. and w. are exchang. in date. Sarah had bef. the latest date, perhaps Oct. 1668, Robert Roath of Norwich; and Mary m. George Saunders. THOMAS, Boston, miller, by w. Lucy had Mary, b. 2 Jan. 1645; and John, 29 June 1647. He m. 10 Mar. 1652; as sec. w. Ann, wid. of Herman Atwood. of William Copp, had Samuel, 8 Oct. 1653, whose gr.st. tells his d. 21 July 1693; Joseph, 9 May 1656; Nathaniel, 29 Nov. 1658, wh. d. at 19 yrs.; and Elizabeth 8 June 1661; and his w. d. 2 wks. aft. By a third w. Mary, he had Benjamin, 18 May 1664; and Mary, 9 Jan. 1666; and he d. 31 July 1686. SAYER, SAYERS, or SAYRE, DANIEL, JOB, and FRANCIS, at Southampton, L. I. 1673, had, perhaps, rem. from Lynn, at least one Job was there 1635, and the others may have been his brs. or s. ICHABOD, New London, s. of Francis, m. 1697, Mary, d. of Hugh Hubbard, and this was the first m. says Miss Caulkins, solemniz. by Gov. Saltonstall. [[33]] JAMES, from Northbourne, Co. Kent, came, 1635, in the Hercules from Sandwich, but we kn. not where he sat down. JAMES, Gloucester, by w. Sarah had Nathaniel, b. 29 Dec. 1677; and Abraham, 5 Nov. 1680. JOHN, Falmouth, sold 1655, to Isaac Walker of Boston, that isl. call. Long Isl. in Casco Bay. THOMAS, Lynn 1635, one of the purch. 1640, of Southampton, L. I. may be the freem. of 22. May 1639, giv. on rec. Say or Says; and also may be f. of one or more of the first nam. sett. at S. Conject. is unsatisfact. when Shurtleff and Paige differ in spell. of the names, and confid. is still less indulg. as to the surname of two syl. when ano. THOMMAS is found in the will of Stephen Lincoln, at Hingham, 1658. See Geneal. Reg. IX. 38. SAYLE, or SAYLES, JOHN, Providence 1645, in list of freem. 1655, next yr. town clk. by w. Mary had Mary, b. July 1652; and John, 17 Aug. 1654; and prob. others; in May 1666, sw. alleg. to Charles II. JOHN, Providence, s. prob. of the preced. took the o. of alleg. May 1682, m. Elizabeth Comstock, perhaps d. of the first Daniel, had Mary, b. 30 May 1689; John, 10 Jan. 1692; Richard, 24 Oct. 1695; Daniel, 13 Dec. 1697; and Thomas, 9 Feb. 1699; and d. 2 Nov. foll. WILLIAM, Boston, a trans. visit. in 1646, wh. had been Gov. at Bermuda, was so happy as to attend Cotton's lecture on Thursday, 5 Nov. in that yr. and soon aft. sail. for London. Out of incid. in that Thursday lecture advert. to, sprang two tracts of antagonist spirit, "N. E.'s Jonas cast up at Lonon," by Dr. Child, and "N. E.'s Salamander," by Edward Winslow, and this latter appeal. to Gov. Seyle as witness against the story told by c. Five yrs. later he was sent by the Eng. governm. to plant at Eleutheria, one of the Bahamas, as is told by Winthrop II. 334, and I presume the same gent. was, in 1670, Gov. in Carolina, under royal commiss. of 26 July 1669, where prob. he d. 1671. SAYWARD, or SAYWORD, EDMUND, Ipswich 1635. HENRY, Hampton 1646, Portsmouth 1650, soon aft. at York, there was constable 1664, perhaps had s. John, and Samuel, wh. there took o. of alleg. 1681, and long perpet. the name. He d. 1679, and his wid. Mary had admin. RICHARD, New Hampsh. 1662. SAYWELL, DAVID, Boston, perhaps s. of Robert, m. 15 Aug. 1660, Abigail, d. of Thomas Buttolph; was freem. 1666, and d. 1672. His wid. m. next yr. Thomas Bingley. ROBERT, Boston, came in the Blessing, 1635, aged 30, with Susan, prob. his w. 25, and James, prob. their s. 1 and 1/2 yrs. had Elizabeth wh. m. 7 May 1662, Joseph Davis. SCADDING, WILLIAM, Taunton 1638. Baylies, I. 289. SCADLOCK, WILLIAM, Saco 1636, freem. 1653, of gr. jury 1654, and 1660, had William, Susanna, John, Rebecca, Samuel, and Sarah. He d. 1662, in his will of 7 Jan. nam. w. Elinor, and these six ch. Samuel [[34]] was liv. 1719, aged 73; but John d. 1664; and William d. four yrs. aft. his f. hav. lost a s. William, it is said of lawful age, the yr. preced. but this seems rather strange. The name is Chaddock, in Folsom, wh. perhaps, foll. Sullivan in Hist. 218 and 19. SCALES, JOHN, Rowley 1648. MATTHEW, k. by the Ind. at Hatfield, 25 Aug. 1675, may not have been an inhab. but a soldier from the E. WILLIAM, Rowley, freem. 13 May 1640. SCAMMON, SCAMMAN, or SCAMMOND, HUMPHRE, Kittery, or Saco, perhaps both, m. Elizabeth d. of the first Dominicus Jordan, had Humphrey, b. 10 May 1677; Elizabeth; Mary; Rebecca; and Samuel. JOHN, Kittery, perhaps s. of William, certain. br. of Humphrey and of Richard, as also of Elizabeth w. of Peter Lidgett, had Elizabeth but wh. was his w. the diligence of Quint has not discov. RICHARD, Dover, br. of the preced. perhaps s. of William, m. Prudence, only d. of William Waldron, had Richard; William, b. 29 Feb. 1664; Jane, 21 June or July 1667; Prudence, 29 Aug. 1669; Elizabeth 22 Apr. 1671; and Mary, 31 May 1673. He escap. the Ind. war by liv. at Exeter 1677; and both h. and w. were there 21 Apr. 1691. Jane m. Thomas Deane of Boston, and d. 9 Oct. 1726. WILLIAM, Boston 1640, prob. rem. soon, may have been ancest. of the disting. fam. but nothing can be ascertain. SCAMP, ROBERT, Gloucester, m. 25 Dec. 1661, Joan, d. of John Collins, had Mary, b. 25 Nov. foll. and his w. d. next 9 Nov. and he d. 23 Apr. 1691. I suggest, that possib. this name may have been Stamp, for in old rec. t and c are much alike. SCANT, WILLIAM, Braintree, m. 29 Mar. 1654, Sarah Brown, had William, b. 16 Mar. foll.; Thomas, 11 Apr. 1657; Sarah, 5 Sept. 1660; Joseph, 4 June 1662, d. at 2 yrs.; Susanna, 30 Jan. 1664; and ano. d. 27 May 1665, with a strange or undecypher. name; and he d. Sept. 1684. His will, of 8 Aug. pro. 30 Oct. names w. and refers to ch. without nam. them. SCARBOROUGH, or SCARBARROW, JOHN, Roxbury 1639, freem. 13 May 1640, unless the Col. rec. of Shurtleff, I. 377, justify an earlier date of four days, wh. must seem very improb. for the regular day of open. Gen. Ct. was 13, and, of course, the 9th was Saturday; by w. Mary, prob. sis. of Robert Smith of Boston, had John, b. 10, bapt. 24 July 1642, d. next mo.; Hannah, 3 Dec. 1643, bapt. same day; Samuel, 20 Jan. bapt. 1 Feb. 1646; and was k. 9 June foll. by casualty in charg. a gr. gun. His wid. m. 1 Oct. 1647, Philip Torrey. SAMUEL, Roxbury, s. of the preced. by first w. wh. d. 1679, had prob. no ch. but by w. Bethia had. prob. Samuel, b. 1681, wh. d. of smallpox, 2 Nov. 1721; Joseph, Feb. 1688, Jeremiah, 31 July 1685, wh. d. in few wks.; Deborah, 16 July 1687, wh. d. at six yrs.; and he d. 18 Mar. 1715. His w. d. 10 Sept. 1728, aged 75. [[35]] SCARLET, BENJAMIN, Salem 1633, s. prob. of Mary, wh. bound him apprent. that yr. aged only 11 yrs. to capt. Endicott, and he contin. the Gov's man 1651, and was liv. 1678. A wid. Scarlet, early memb. of Salem ch. in her will of 2 Mar. 1640, pro. June 1643, nam. Joseph Grafton excor. calls him br. as also James Lind, and br. Browning, and his w. and sis. Dennis. All these, I think, refer to Christian soc. but she ment. her own ch. Mary, Margaret, and Joseph; and when she nam. br. Samuel in Eng. she means, I suppose, kinsm. and may have been f. of this apprent. Yet, as to the fam. of the testator, I see no more light. JOHN, Sringfield 1640, was then constable, rem. to Boston 1650, by w. Thomasine had Mary and Jane, tw. b. 21 Sept. 1653; perhaps John, 1657, wh. d. young; Thomasine, 18 May 1660; John and Samuel, tw. 16 Apr. 1664; and Elizabeth 18 Nov. 1667; and by Farmer, in MS.geneal. was, I think, mistak. for his br. Samuel. His will, of 16 Feb. 1688, pro. 21 Mar. foll. gives to his w. to d. Thomasine Taylor, and to gr.s. James Fryer; so that my conject. is, that ano. of his ds. had m. James, only s. of Hon. Nathaniel F. ROBERT, Salem 1635, perhaps br. of Benjamin, was that yr. sentenc. to be whip. for run. from his master. SAMUEL, Boston 1664, br. of John, master of a sh. from London to B. with his w. join. Mather's ch. 1672, was freem. and constable 1673, and was mort. inj. by explos. of a sh. in the harbor, 4 May 1675, dy. in a few hours. He was b. in Kersey, Co. Suffk. he says in his will, made that day, pro. 26 May foll. by wh. he dispos. of good amt. of prop. but left no ch. SCATE, JOHN, Boston, by w. Sarah had John, b. 14 Apr. 1659. SCATHE, JOHN, Hingham, with Ann, perhaps a sis. are ment. in the wills of John Merrick and of his wid. Elizabeth 1647 and 9. prob. they were serv. but he was in Boston, prob. 1674, a cordwainer, and in 1678 sold lds. at H. to William Hersey, writ. his name John Skeath. SCHRICK, PAULUS, Hartford, one of the little colo. of Dutch from New York, that had plant. bef. the Eng. went thither. He m. 30 Dec. 1658, Mary, wid. of Josephus Ambeck, d. of Caspar Varleet; but no issue is ment. SCILIAN, BENJAMIN, and JOSEPH, unless surname be mistak. as I suspect, were of Ipswich 1683. SCOFIELD, SCOVIL, SCOVEL, SCHOFEL, or SKOFIELD, ARTHUR, Middletown, a propr. 1671, by w. Rachel m. 17 Dec. 1690, at Lyme, had Arthur, b. 13 Jan. 1692; and James, 9 Jan. 1694, wh. d. in few wks. and the f. d. 24 June foll. ARTHUR, Middletown, s. of the preced. by w. Elizabeth m. Feb. 1711, had James, b. 18 Jan. 1712; and Elizabeth 26 July 1715. BENJAMIN, Haddam, perhaps s. of John, by w. Ann had Edward, b. 9 Apr. 1704; Sarah, 9 Oct. 1706; and Amie, 14 Mar. 1709. [[36]] DANIEL, Stamford 1641, one of the first sett. d. 1671, leav. ch. Daniel, John, Richard, Joseph, Sarah, w. of John Pettit; and Mary or Mercy. His wid. Sarah bec. third w. of Miles Merwin, and is nam. in his will. His two eldest s. liv. many yrs. at Stamford, and left num. progeny; but their br. Joseph d. 1676, in serv. or by the hardships of Philip's war, leav. no fam. yet some est. to brs. and sis. EDWARD, Haddam, m. Hannah, d. prob. youngest, of Andrew Benton of Hartford, d. 1703, leav. wid. and two ds. but I miss any early date. JOHN, Farmington, m. 29 Mar. 1666, Sarah Barnes, d. of Thomas, rem. to Waterbury, next to Haddam, there d. 1712, had John, William, and Benjamin. JOHN, Middletown, m. 9 Feb. 1698, Mary Lucas, d. prob. of William, had Joanna, John, Mary, Elizabeth William, and Ebenezer, and d. 12 Dec. 1712. RICHARD, Ipswich 1648, came in the Susan and Ellen, aged 22, from London, may have been of Stamford 1650, and d. 1671, and the same, whose wid. m. Robert Penoyer. He was prob. f. Richard, propound. for freem. 1670, a trader at S. 1689-1701; and, perhaps, other ch. Great vexation has attend. my desire to avoid confus. of families under such various spell. and it would not be easy for a congress of those with so hard a name, in our days, to make out the derivat. of the mem. SCOLLEY, or SCHOLLEY, JOHN, Malden 1674, then 33 yrs. old, had liv. at Charlestown, m. Hannah, d. of James Barrett, had John, b. 20 June 1665; Hannah, 3 Apr. 1669; James, Oct. 1671; Mary, Feb. 1675; and Sarah, wh. m. 16 Nov. 1699, Jonathan Eustis. SCOON, or SCONE, JOHN, Westfield, m.

Susanna, perhaps d. of George Meriam, had no ch. says Shattuck, and d. 10 June 1696. His wid. d. 2 Feb. 1707. SCOTT, BENJAMIN, Braintree, had, perhaps b. in Eng. Hannah, wh. m. Christopher Webb; John, b. 25 Dec. 1640, d. soon; rem. to Cambridge, there, by w. Margaret, had Joseph, 14 July 1644; Benjamin, 5 July 1646; John, again, 2 July 1648; Elizabeth 27 May 1650, wh d. in one wk.; rem. to Rowley bef. 1652, there had Samuel, 1655, and two ds.; was freem. 1665, and d. 1671. Of ano. BENJAMIN of Braintree, we kn. only, that his will of 7 Oct. 1683, pro. 29 Apr. foll. refers to no w. or ch. but gives all his est. to br. Peter until the eldest s. of Peter come of age. BENJAMIN, Rowley, s. of the first Benjamin, m. Susanna Searle, had John, b. 1681; Joseph, 1682; Benjamin, 1687; Samuel, 1692. EDMUND, Farmington 1649, by first w. had seven ch. was freem. 1669, had two more ch. by sec. w. Elizabeth wid. of Thomas Upson, but the date of ms. or bs. for neither is told. From his will of 11 June [[37]] 1690, we gain the names of all, Edmund; Samuel, b. 1660; Jonathan; George; David; Robert; Joseph; Elizabeth Davis; and Hannah, w. of John Brunson; yet we shall not be justif. in suppos. this to be the order of success. exc. that the two s. last nam. were by sec. w. nor will conject. be reasona. to determine the priority of the d. whose h.'s name is not seen. Positive informat. however, is afford. on two points, that he was an orig. propr. of Waterbury, and there d. 1691. EDMUND, Waterbury, s. of the preced. m. June 1689, the wid. of Benjamin Porter, who d. 17 Jan. 1749, had a s. b. Oct. 1690, wh. d. in few wks.; Sarah, 29 Jan. 1692; Samuel, Sept. 1694; Elizabeth 1 Mar. 1697; Hannah, June 1700; Edmund, 10 May 1703; John, 21 Sept. 1707; and Jonathan, 4 Aug. 1711; and d. 20 July 1746. EDWARD, ask. for gr. at New London 1651, yet did not impr. it, when giv. not however tempt. towards Hadley, where he first is heard of as serv. of Joseph Kellogg 1662, and where was ano. EDWARD, wh. was he prob. that m. 1670, Elizabeth Webster, perhaps d. of Gov. John, had Elizabeth b. 1671; Sarah, 1674; Thomas, 1675; John, 1677; Ebenezer, 1681; Bridget and Ann, tw. 1682; and Hannah, 14 Mar. 1689. His w. d. two days aft. aged 40; and he rem. perhaps to New Haven, where one Edward was excus. in 1703 from train. in the milit. so leav. us to infer, that he was over 60 yrs. of age. GEORGE, New Haven, a gunsmith, in 1690, had not, nor any other of this surname, been propr. 1685. GEORGE, Waterbury, s. of Edmund, m. Aug. 1691, Mary, d. of Obadiah Richards, had Obadiah, George, and William; and d. 26 Sept. 1724. JOHN, the freem. in Mass. of 22 May 1639, then spelt in Secr.'s list with a k, and JOHN, the freem. of 10 May 1643, aft. many hours of very dilig. scrutiny, elude my skill in search. for the resid. of either; but strong reasons lead me to believe that neither of them was of the three foll. JOHN, Salem, 1648, serv. of Lawrence Southwick, the Quaker, may have gone to Providence, and by w. Rebecca there had Sarah, b. 29 Sept. 1662; John, 14 Mar. 1664; Mary, 1 Feb. 1666; Catharine, 20 May 1668; Deborah, 24 Dec. 1669; and Syvanus, 10 Nov. 1672. He took o. of alleg. to Charles II. in 1668. JOHN, Charlestown 1658, d. 25 Jan. 1682, aged 75, says the gr.st. JOHN, Springfield, m. 20 July 1659, Sarah, d. of Thomas Bliss, had Sarah, b. 19 Oct. 1663; John, 4 Jan. 1666, perhaps, but the last fig. is uncert.; Hannah, 16 Oct. 1668; Margaret, 8 Feb. 1671; Ebenezer, 3 Aug. 1673, William, 8 Aug. 1676; Mary, 29 Dec. 1678; rem. to Suffield, there had Elizabeth 2 Sept. 1683; and he d. 2 Jan. 1690. His wid. m. the same yr. Samuel Terry, and d. 27 Sept. 1705. Of the s. William only, one of the first sett. at Palmer, had ch. Sarah m. 9 Feb. 1680, Benjamin Leonard; Hannah m. 31 Oct. 1695, John Fowler; Margaret m. but the name of her h. is not kn.; Mary m. July 1701, Ebenezer Nash; and Elizabeth m. 1708, Jonathan Worthington. [[38]] JOHN, of Newtown, Southold, or other L. I. town, was very active for the honor of the k. in 1663, but in Apr. or May 1664, was tak. by Conn. officers and carr. to prison at Hartford, heavi. fined, and disfranchis. as a defamer of his majesty, &c., &c. JOHN, Roxbury, m. 29 May 1672, Hannah Duncan, or Dunkin, perhaps d. of Samuel, had Hannah, b. 24 July 1674, d. soon; John, 11 Nov. 1675, d. soon; Sarah, d. soon; Hannah, again, 18 Aug. 1678; Mary, 28 July 1679, d. in two days; Margaret, 6 Jan. 1691, d. soon; Joseph, 27 Mar. 1682; John, again, 8 Nov. 1683, d. soon.; Sarah, 9 Nov. 1684, d. next day; and John, again, 9 July 1686. Perhaps he was of Johnson's comp. in the Narraganset campaign, Dec. 1675. His w. d. 1 Jan. 1706, if the rec. that calls her Sarah, be good. JONATHAN, Waterbury, s. of Edmund, m.

JOSEPH, Rowley, s. of the first Benjamin, was, perhaps, of Ipswich 1683. JOSEPH, Farmington, s. of Edmund, d. 1708, leav. s. John. PETER, Braintree, br. of the sec. Benjamin, by w. Abigail had Benjamin, b. 24 Sept. 1674; Peter; and John; was freem. 1685. RICHARD, Boston, shoemaker, join. our ch. 28 Aug. 1634, yet his w. Catharine, d. of Rev. Edward Marbury (as Bishop, in N. E. Judged tells), did not unite, nor either, of the ch. Richard, John, Mary, or Patience, tho. Ann Hutchinson, their aunt, and her sis. had so great sway in it. To this w. Gov. Winthrop I. 293, ascribes much power in giv. light on believers' bapt. to Roger Williams, 1638, at Providence, where he was rem. 1637, bef. the time of disarm. heretic favorers of Hutchinson. He is on the list of freem. 1655, and was among the Quaker converts 1658, and his w. "an ancient woman," was imprison. and whip. at Boston for benevol. serv. in diffus. her opinions, and her ds. Mary and Patience also were imprison. by equal impolicy. Mary m. 12 Aug. 1660, Christopher Holder; Patience m. 28 Sept. 1668, Henry Beere; and Deliverance, prob. a younger d. m. 30 Aug. 1670, William Richardson. ROBERT, Boston, join. the ch. 15 Dec. 1633, then stil. "serv. to our br. John Sanford," so that he prob. was a passeng. in the fleet with Winthrop 1630, was adm. freem. 7 Dec. 1636, by w.

Lincoln, in 1630, was one Thomas Scott, that may have been the same as the preced. or the foll. THOMAS, Hartford 1637, had been, perhaps, of Cambridge, was k. 6 Nov. 1643, careless. by John Ewe, for wh. he. was. fin. L5. to the Col. and £10. to the wid. Aft. being wound. he made nuncup. will, held good, tho. incomplete, as not nam. overseers, provid. for wid. Ann, s. Thomas, and three ds. That s. was infirm in body, or mind, perhaps both, and liv. not long; and the wid. m. 7 Nov. 1644, Thomas Ford; and d. at Northampton, 5 May 1675. One d. Mary m. at the same time with her mo. Robert Porter; ano. Sarah, m. 5 Dec. 1645, John Staley; and the other, Elizabeth m. 3 or 6 Feb. 1649, John Loomis of Windsor.

Num. are descend. Josiah and Joseph cont. at H. but Richard and William were of early sett. in Sunderland. SCOTTOW, or SCOTTAWAY, JOHN, Boston, s. of Thomas, by w. Rebecca had John, b. 25 June 1668; Rebecca, 27 June 1672, d. young; Joshua, 22 Feb. 1675; Rebecca, again, 1 Mar. 1677, d. soon; and Rebecca, again, 21 June 1678. JOSHUA, Boston, merch. brot. by his mo. Thomasine, a wid. wh. join. our ch. 21 Sept. 1634, and he, with br. Thomas, join. it 19 May 1639; was never sw. freem. yet appoint. by the Gen. Ct. a commissnr. for regulat. the export of powder. By his w. Lydia, wh. join. the ch. 23 May 1641, and d. 9 May 1707, aged 86, had Joshua, b. 30 Sept. 1641, d. very soon; Joshua, again, 12, bapt. 20 Aug. 1643; Lydia, bapt. 29 June 1645, tho. the poor substit. for town rec. says b. 30 of that mo.; Elizabeth 1 Aug. 1647, 2 days old; Rebecca, 10 Oct. 1652; Mary, b. 11, bapt. 18 May 1656; Thomas, 30 [[40]] June, bapt. 10 July 1659, H. C. 1677; and Sarah; was of ar. co. 1645, its ens. 1657, and capt. later. He was confident. agent for La Tour in transact. with our governm. 1654-7, and a great propr. aft. Philip's war at Scarborough, capt. of the garrison and magistr. in that region. He was heedless. or cruel. charg. with murder of Nathan Bedford, 1681, shown to be casual. drown. as in the Maine Hist. Col III. may be read. As author of two very curious tracts a. the early hist. of N. E. publish. 1691 and 4, he is oft. quot. and, at the age of 83, he d. 20 Jan. 1698, as tells the gr.st. that was transfer. from the early bur. yd. to the inside of the tower of the O. S. or 3d ch. See Genealogy, Reg. V. 78. His d. Elizabeth m. a. 1664, Thomas Savage; Rebecca m. 1 Apr. 1675, Benjamin Blackman; and Mary m. capt. Samuel Checkley, as by his will of 23 June 1696, pro. 3 Mar. 1698, is seen; beside wh. it gives adeq. provis. to w. Lydia, to s. Thomas a doub. portion, rings to ds. Mary Checkley and Sarah, w. of Samuel Walker, and to ea. of sixteen gr.ch. then liv. and made Judge Sewall and s. Savage and Checkley excors. His eldest d. Lydia, wh. first m.

Zechariah Symmes; but where he liv. when he d. or any further acco. of him, is beyond. my power to tell. THOMAS, Boston, br. perhaps elder, of the first Joshua, a joiner, by w. Joan, wh. was adm. of the ch. 19 Sept. 1641, had Thomas, b. says the stupid town rec. Jan. 1640, when the ch. rec. shows bapt. 8 Dec. preced. wh. d. soon; Thomas, again, bapt. 10 Apr. 1641, one day old, tho. town rec. gives b. in Mar.; John, 2, bapt. 5 May 1644; Thomas, again, 3, bapt. 7 Mar. 1647; and Mehitable, bapt. 11 Feb. 1649; and by sec. w. Sarah had Joshua, 3, bapt. 9 Dec. 1655; Sarah, 27 Sept. bapt. 4 Oct. 1657; Thomasin, 14, bapt. 15 Aug. 1659, d. soon; and Thomasin, again, 18 Aug. 1660. His will, of 9 May 1660, pro. 18 Dec. 1661, names aged mo. Sanford (tho. wh. she was is beyond my conject.), w. Sarah, s. John, and other ch. without naming. THOMAS, Scarborough, s. of Joshua the first, sw. alleg. 1681. SCOVIL, SCOVALL, SCOVEL, or SCOVELL, JOHN, Waterbury, s. of that John, under Scofield, 4 pages bef. m. 6 Feb. 1694, Hannah, d. of Obadiah Richards, had John, b. 12 Jan. foll. perhaps others; was constable, and rep. 1714. His w. d. 5 Mar. 1720; and he d. 26 Feb. 1727. WILLIAM, Haddam, sett. there soon aft. 1668, says Field, 65, to wh. Hinman, 231, adds, that he d. 1712. That may refer to first John. See Scofield, with wh. name I have been much embarrass. to disting. one from ano. and can but fear, that little success has foll. my perplexity. [[41]] SCRANTON, DENNIS, New Haven 1660, m. Sarah, wid of Nicholas Munger, gave informat. perhaps rather minute, than trustworthy, about Whalley and Goffe, to Gov. Endicott's pursuivants in 1661. See Hutch. Coll. 335 for the curious codum. But they mistook the name, and should have writ. Crampton. JOHN, Guilford 1650, whose w. Joanna d. 1651, is among freem. of 1669. For sec. w. he took Adeline, wid. in 1663 of Robert Hill, as in 1661 she had been of Robert Johnson; but prob. had no ch. by her, and d. 27 Aug. 1671, leav. ch. Thomas, John, and Sarah; and his wid. d. 1685. Sarah m. 15 May 1665, John Bushnell. JOHN, Guilford, s. of the preced. m. Mary Seward, d. prob. of William of the same, had Mary, John, and Mehitable, was propound. for freem. 1670; and by sec. w. Elizabeth Clark, perhaps d. of Thomas, had Mercy, b. 1688; Elizabeth 4 Nov. 1692; Ann, 23 Dec. 1693; Ebenezer, 16 Mar. 1696; and Deborah, 3 Dec. 1697. John d. young; but other seven ch. were liv. 1703, at d. of the f. NATHANIEL, Guilford, may have been s. of Thomas of the same, and d. at Wethersfield, 13 Mar. 1693, in his will giv. prop. to William Goodrich, as Hinman, 232, tells; yet it is more prob. that there was no such Nataniel S. and that the testator's name was Crampton. THOMAS, Guilford, s. of the first John, was propos. for freem. 1676, and next yr. accept.; had two ws. first, Deborah Thompson, wid. of Ebenezer, and sec. Elizabeth Goodrich; but had only two ch. that grew up to mature life, Samuel, and Hannah. SCRIBNER, or SCRIVENER, BENJAMIN, Norwalk, m. 5 Mar. 1680, Hannah, d. of John Crampton, had Thomas, b. 31 Mar. 1681; and John; perhaps others. JOHN, Exeter 1689. JOHN, Norwalk, s. of Benjamin, m. 9 Mar. 1710, Deborah, d. of William Lees of the same, had Mary, b. Mar. 1711; and Rebecca, 12 Oct. 1712. SCRIPTURE, SAMUEL, Groton, by w. Elizabeth had Samuel, b. 4 Oc. 1675; Mary, 7 Feb. 1681; Abigail, 28 Jan. 1687; Ruth, 2 Feb. 1697; and Lydia, 28 June 1700. SAMUEL, Groton, s. of the preced. by w. Mary had Sarah, b. 16 Dec. 1700; Jemima, 19 Apr. 1702, wh. d. at 21 yrs.; Samuel, 25 Apr. 1705, d. at 18 yrs.; and James, wh. d. 28 Sept. 1723. His w d. 3 days bef. and by sec. w. Elizabeth he had Samuel, again; 27 Apr. 1727. SCRIVEN, SCREVEN, SCRIEVEN, or SCRIVINE, JOHN, Dover 1662, d. 2 Oct. 1675, says Quint, in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 65, tho. in the same l. he makes his will of 24 Nov. 1674, pro. 27 June foll. that date of its mak. not of his d. Some error, wh. is seldom found in so careful a writer must here demand correct. It ment. w. Mary, and ch. John, Edward, Thomas, and Elizabeth all minors. The d. perhaps m. 1686, Samuel Eastman. WILLIAM, Kittery, had w. Bridget in 1680, was rep. 1681, [[42]] found. of a Bapt. ch. there 1682, in wh. he was a teacher, but aft. some yrs. went to South Carolina, and d. 1713, aged, as is said, 84. SCROOP, ADRIAN, Hartford, witness to execut. of a deed of 31 Mar. 1665, and, again, 8 May 1667 sign. as witness, his name, in a very elegant hand, to deed of Simon Wolcott to Richard Loud of three parcels of ld. wh. was put on rec. 3 days aft. yet no more is ever told of him. Curiosity to a high pitch naturally is felt on two points in this case, when did he come to our country, and what did he do aft. sign. that rare name. One Adrian Scrope, we kn. had been execut. in London, 17 Oct. 1660, for hav. sat on the pretend. trial of k. Charles I. and sign. the warrant for his d. In Noble's Regicides the rep. of his trial is very full, much more than most of the others. Strong prob. from union of such giv. name and surname arises, that this man was s. or near relat. of the regicide; and Dr. Stiles, in the latter part of his extraord. book relative to the three judges, that found shelter at New Haven, appeals to proof from hd. writ. in the fac-simile of the death warrant of Charles and the rec. of this deed at Hartford, for, strange as it seems, the attestation of the deed is by the witnesses on the rec. itself as well as on the docum. The Doctor's eye saw more than mine, and he appears almost satisf. with the identity of the writing, as if Col. Scrope were in person at H. six yrs. and a half aft. his head was cut off. Between 29 Jan. 1649, when he affix. his hd. and seal to that writ, order. the subord. officer. at such an hour next day to put the k. to d. and this Hartford act 8 Mar. 1667, I would not affirm, that Col. Scrope's writing could not vary much, had not the solemn execution of the 17 Oct. 1660 interven. Stiles was a man of wonderful capacity of belief, and the estimate of his judgment in this matter is reduced by a mistake of the name of the other witness in this very docum. writ. Reeve, but by the President made Robert Pierce. Beside, the differece of names between the London sufferer, wh. used but one o, and our Hartford witness that doubled the letter, is not ment. SCRUGGS, THOMAS, Salem, came with the few companions of Endicott in the Abigail, 1628, says Felt, yet this relies solely on tradit. and might seem to early, for he did not take o. of freem until 2 Sept 1635; but he was esteem. eno. to be chos. to three Gen. Cts. next yr. also authoriz. with others to hold special Ct. for the vicinage, and was a selectman. But for his heretic. pravity he was next yr. supersed. and in Nov. disarm. as a danger. man, like the majority of Boston ch. I suppose he had w. Margery, and that he d. early in 1652; and that Felt mistook his name as if it were William; and that, as the wid. gave up to her s.-in-law John Raymond in June 1652 her est. in dower, she may have gone home, or perhaps was the woman that d. 26 Jan. 1663. See Hist. Coll. of Essex Inst. I. 11, comp. with III. 142. [[43]] SCUDDER, JAMES, Woburn, had Deborah, b. 26 July 1647, tho. the name is not clear. legib. and may be mistak.

Butler, in Hist. 96, gives the name Leger, but that is only mistake of the author's handrit. by the print. LAWRENCE, came to Boston in the James from Southampton, 1635, a youth of 17, and no more is kn. of him. RICHARD, Hartford 1650, had Elizabeth b. in June of that yr.; also had Richard, John, and Ebenezer, wh. was drown. 1669. He was adm. freem. of Conn. May 1657, and may have been of Stonington, for a good w. S. is ment. in 1668, as adher. of the jurisdict. R. I. and the Conn. (Stonington) freem. of 1669 has not his name. His w. Elizabeth was indict. 1663 for "familiarity with Satan," and practis. witchcr. but tho. the jury found her in Mar. guilty of the familiarity, the wiser Ct. set her free in May 1666, "the verdict of the jury not answer. to the indictm. legally." Aft. this prob. the fam. rem. to R. I. where, I presume, the devil had less power or impudence. To Elizabeth S. in his will of 25 July 1655, John Moody of Hartford gave L25., and it may be suppos. therefore, that the mo. of this ch. was his sis. The time of his d. is unkn.

WILLIAM, Kittery, perhaps br. of the first Andrew, may have been the town clk. instead of A. WILLIAM, Rowley 1689, prob. s. of the preced. by w. Deborah had William, b. 1690. Of this name, in 1829, two had been gr. at Harv. two at Yale and six at other N. E. coll. [[46]] SEARS, DANIEL, Boston, mariner, had w. Mary, on whose d. when he was abroad, admin. was giv.

SEAVY, JOHN, Portsmouth, perhaps s. of William, m. 29 July 1686, Hannah, wid. of Joseph Walker, d. of John Philbrook of Hampton. NATHANIEL, and THOMAS, were, perhaps, brs. of the preced. and unit. with him and f. in praying, 1690, for jurisdict. of Mass. THOMAS, Newcastle, N.

SECCOMB, PETER, Medford, perhaps s. of the first Richard, m. 25 Feb. 1702, Hannah Willis, d. of Stephen, had Willis, b. 30 Apr. 1704, d. under 21 yrs.; John, 30 July 1706, d. next yr.; John, again, 25 Apr. 1708, H.

[[48]] Ann had Jonathan, b. 17 Sept. 1710; Ann, 17 Sept. 1712; and Dorothy, 24 Jan. 1715. THOMAS, br. prob. of the preced. m. Rebecca, d. of Stephen Willis, may have liv. at Lynn. SEDGWICK, ROBERT, Charleston 1636, prob. came 1635 in the Truelove, aged 24, tho. in the custom-ho. rec. the name appears Jo. inst. of Ro. join. the ch. with w. Joanna, on 27 Feb. 1637, and was made freem. 9 Mar. foll. when he was appoint. capt. for the town by our Ct. and chos. next mo. rep. and aft. for sixteen Cts. more. His neighb. capt. Edward Johnson, in Wonder work. Provid. c. 26 of book ii., the most valua. of that curious vol. assures us, that he was "nurst up in London's Artil. garden;" and our rec. show, that he was one of the found. of our art. co. 1638, its capt. 1640, command. of the castle 1641, head of the regim. of Middlesex 1643, and last. maj.-gen. of the Col. soon aft. call. by O. Cromwell to milit. serv. with John Leverett (aft. our Gov.) for his sec. and bef. long time sent to Jamaica, recent. conquer. There he d. 24 May 1656. Joanna, the Gen.'s wid. was liv. 1667 at Stepney, near London. By her he had Samuel, bapt. 31 Mar. 1639; and Hannah, 14 Mar. 1641; beside William, and Robert, wh. prob. were his ch. and Sarah, b. certain. in Eng. as may have been these s. Certainty is beyond our reach, bec. rec. of town is imperfect, and the ch. rec. of bapt. from 20 Sept. 1642 to 4 July 1658 is a total. sad blank space. Our Charlestown soldier, in letters of Nov. 1655, pray. leave to come from Jamaica to London, recommends his w. and five ch. to the kindness of the Lord Protector, and we have only to regret, that his pathetic appeal was disregard. Frothingham, 135-9, is copius and correct. Sarah bec. sec. w. of Gov. Leverett. Whether she were sis. or d. might be disput. and this point that Mather ought to have elucidat. is confus. by him. Yet high is the prob. if her d. 2 Jan. 1705 is accomp. with correct statem. that she was 74 yrs. old, that she was b. in Eng. and was eldest ch. of the disting. soldier. ROBERT, Charlestown, s. of the preced. as confident. is presum. b. prob. in Eng. by w. Sarah had William, b. 9 June 1676; and Sarah, 19 Dec. 1677. He d. on a return voyage from Jamaica, leav. trifl. est. of wh. admin. was giv. to his wid. Sarah, 26 Apr. 1683. SAMUEL, br. of the preced. was of Charlestown not long, but chief. liv. at London, had w. Elizabeth prob. hoped to obt. some reward for serv. of his f. but long bef. his m. he was witness to the will, 17 June 1657, of Jonathan Wade of our Ipswich, then at L. and it is curious, that his signature was pro. in Eng. by his wid. 1 Dec. 1683, then aged only 33 yrs. and she says he was her h. six yrs. "Citizen and clothworker of London," he calls hims. in a deed of 20 May 1667, whereby he sold his ho. and ld. in C. to Francis Willoughby. SAMUEL, Hartford, only ch. of William of the same, m. 1689, Mary, d. [[49]] of Stephen Hopkins of the same, had Samuel, b. 22 Aug. 1690; Jonathan, 29 Mar. 1693; Ebenezer, 25 Feb. 1695; Joseph, 16 May 1697; Stephen, 17 Mar. 1701; Abigail, 23 Feb. 1703; Mary, 1 July 1705; William, 29 June 1707; Elizabeth 10 Dec. 1708; Thankful, 3 Nov. 1710, d. under 10 yrs.; Mercy, 18 Jan. 1713; and Benjamin, 7 Nov. 1716; and d. 24 Mar. 1735. His wid. d. 4 Sept. 1743. He was gr.f. of the Hon. Theodore, speaker of the Ho. of Rep. in Congr. of the U. S. a. 65 yrs. since, and aft. a judge of S. J. C. in Mass. and progenit. of many amiab. and disting. writers that have adorn. the name in our coutry. WILLIAM, Hartford, s. of the first Robert, may have been b. in Eng. m. Elizabeth youngest d. of Rev. Samuel Stone, had Samuel, b. 1667; but he had prob. been ruin. in morals by serv. in the army of Eng. and aft. many yrs. of abandonm. of his w. as she alleg. in petitn. for div. May 1673, the Gen. Ct. of Conn. Oct. 1674, releas. her from the "unchristian bondage." She m. John Roberts, but tho. she had s. John, was not much better sort. with the new h. yet liv. with him, 1695, on L. I. Of S. little more is kn. exc. that he sold, 7 Sept. 1668, all right in est. of his f. to Francis Willoughby. Yet an obscure report was circulat. that he d. on return from the W. I. to Boston. SEDLEY, JAMES, was, says Farmer, early sett. at Weymouth; but I kn. nothing of him. SEELEY, JOHN, Isle of Shoals 1647, was, perhaps, aft. at Newbury. JOHN, Fairfield, perhaps s. of Robert, m. bef. 1691, Sarah, d. of George Squire. NATHANIEL, New Haven 1646, s. of Robert, m. at Fairfield, 1649, or earlier, Mary, d. of Benjamin Turney, rem. to F. was freem. 1657; m. sec. w. late in 1674, or early next yr. Elizabeth wid. of Obadiah Gilbert, former. wid. of Nehemiah Olmstead, serv. as lieut. in Philip's war, 1675, and was k. at the head of his comp. in the gr. swamp fight, 19 Dec. A gr. was made next yr. to his wid. Nine ch. all, I presume, by first w. were left, Nathaniel, Robert, Benjamin, Joseph, John, Mary, Sarag, Phebe, and Rebecca. OBADIAH, Stamford, prob. s. of Robert, m. the wid. of John Miller of S. but d. 1657, leav. wid. and ch. Obadiah, Cornelius, and Jonas. ROBERT, Watertown, prob. came in the fleet with Winthrop for his req. of adm. was in Oct. 1630, and he took the o. of freem. 18 May foll. was employ. as surveyor 1634, and in 1636 rem. to Wethersfield, was next yr. a lieut. in the Pequot war, perhaps short time at New Haven 1639, and in 1646 had leave to go home, but in few yrs. was again here, and in 1654 led the force of N. H. rais. for serv. under Sedgwick and Leverett against the neighb. prov. of New Netherlands, that was happi. prevent. by restor. of peace in Europe. He was at Saybrook 1662, Stratford 1663, and the same yr. at Huntington, on L. I. in the head of the milit. but at New York aft. its conq. and [[50]] there d. His wid. Mary had admin. 19 Oct. WILLIAM, Isle of Shoals, perhaps br. of John of the same, was of gr. jury 1656, d. at Saco, 1672, says Folsom, 188, wh. tells, that his d. Emma m. John Ruel, and Dorcas m. James Gibbins, jr. in 1668. SEKER, or SECKER, HENRY, a youth of 8 yrs. wh. came in the Speedwell from London, arr. at Boston 27 July 1656, perhaps was he that sett. at Newton with name of Seager. SELDEN, or SELDON, JOSEPH, Hadley, s. of Thomas the first, m. 1677, Rebecca Church, d. of deac. Edward of Hatfield, had Rebecca, b. 1678; Esther, 1680, d. next yr.; Joseph, 1682; rem. to Deerfield, there had Thomas, 1684; and Hannah; but in few yrs. was back at Hadley, and had Mary, 5 Mar. 1689; Esther, again, 2 May 1691; Samuel, 17 May 1695; rem. once more to Lyme, there purchas. large est. and part. in Haddam, had Sarah, bapt. 20 July 1712; and d. bef. 1 Feb. 1725, when this est. was div. by their own act to three s. Joseph and Thomas of H. and Samuel of L. with five ds. Rebecca, w. of James Wells; Mercy, w. of Isaac Spencer; Esther, w. of Jabez Chapman; Hannah, w. of Daniel Brainard, all of H. and Sarah Selden of L. THOMAS, Hartford 1639, freem. 1640, had Thomas, bapt. 31 Aug. 1645; John, wh. d. May 1650; Mary, 26 Mar. 1648 or 9; Esther, 3 Mar. 1650, d. next yr.; Joseph, 2 Nov. 1651; Hannah; and Sarah; and d. bef. the end of 1655. His will, of 14 Aug. names wid. Esther, wh. m.

His wid. was liv. 1738. Sometimes this name, of wh. twelve had been gr. at Yale, two at Dart. none at Harv. in 1848, is seen under pervers. as Selding. SELLAN, or SELLEN, THOMAS, Ipswich, allow. as inhab. by the Gen. Ct. 11 June 1663, tho. they had order, 1 Apr. preced. that no person should go to plant there exc. those already gone. Possib. he rem. bef. 1638 to Braintree, at least no more at I. can be heard of him; and at B. a rec. of d. is seen, 3 Dec. 1642, of Thomas Sellem, wh. may seem to be this man. SELLOCK, SELLICK, SILIECK, or SELLECK, DAVID, Boston, soapboiler, by w. Susanna had David, b. 11 Dec. 1638; Jonathan, 20 May 1641; John, 21, bapt. 23 Apr. 1643; Nathaniel, 18, bapt. 27 July 1645; Joanna, 11 Dec. 1647; Elizabeth 1 Feb. 1652; and Susanna, 1653, wh. d. soon; and he d. 1654, in Virg. His inv. of 6 Dec. in that yr. [[51]] shows fair est. in sum, yet very little beyond debts. How his name was pervert. to Zullesh may be seen near the end of this vol. DAVID, Boston, merch. eldest s. of the preced. trad. to Barbados 1663. JOHN, Stamford, br. of the preced. freem. 1670, was rich and enterpris. master of a vessel to Eng. tak. May 1689 by the French, and never came home, yet his est. was not administ. bef. 5 Mar. 1700. By w.

John Davenport, wh. had m. 1695, Martha, the wid. of his s. John, d. of Nathan Gould. He had been active in business, was innholder 1665, freem. 1667, lieut. capt. and at last major, rep. 1670, and again 1675. NATHANIEL, Boston, youngest br. of the preced. was apprent. to David Evans, wh. in his will of 30 June 1663, left him £10. if he faithful. discharg. his indent. My conject. is, that this is the name giv. as Lellock by the careless penman wh. copied the book used as a rec. of births in Boston bef. 1690. SELMAN, JOHN, Pemaquid, took o. of fidel. to Mass. 1674. SEMOND, WILLIAM, Boston, by w. Ann, d. of George Barrell, had Hannah, b. Sept. 1640, wh. is nam. in the will of gr.f. B.

Elizabeth in his will of 29 Sept. 1684, pro. 8 Oct. next, describ. as "singular. comfortable, and good w. and yokefellow," was provid. for by the contract of m. 4 Oct. 1684; yet he gave something to her and also to her d. Abigail W. tho. most, of course, to his d. Hunlock and ch. The wid. had been third w. of John Warren, and found ano. h. in John Hayward, the notary, and a fourth in Phineas Wilson of Hartford.

Sept. of that yr. rem. prob. in 1638 to Windsor, was one of the first sett. at Norwalk, a. 1654, there d. 1669, aft. 11 Oct. the date of certific. by the constable (wh. was his s.

MATTHEW, Norwalk, s. of the preced. in 1672 had sev. ch. of wh. one was Matthew, and he, I believe, gave the same name to one in the fourth generat. NICHOLAS, Windsor, thot. to be younger br. of the first Matthew, came, at the age of 13, in the Elizabeth and Ann from London, 1635, was of W. in 1640, so that we may suppose, he had been at Dorchester, and rem. with him.

HENRY, Newbury 1635, had liv. 1623 at Manchester, Eng. it is said, also that he was eldest s. of Henry, Mayor of Coventry, and bapt. 8 Apr. 1576. His w. Coffin calls Ann Hunt, but in Col. rec. her name is Ellen, and his only ch. was Henry, old eno. to be sent over a yr. bef. his f. but perhaps he was s. of an earlier w. than this brot. from Eng. No doubt the s. would better have been pleas. had the f. contin. at home, for he was dissatisf. with every body and thing, soon separat. from his w. disturb. the ch. of Ipswich bef. he mov. to N. thence he rem. to Rowley, there d. 1657, more than 80 yrs. old. That he was insane, is the natur. conclusion, and the acts of governm. were injudic. See Col. Rec. I. 163, 233, and 286, beside the full relat. in Coffin, 61. HENRY, Newbury, only s. of the preced. came, at the age of 20, in the Elizabeth Dorcas, 1634, was first at Ipswich, but with early sett. went to N. next yr.; m. 25 Mar. 1646, Jane, eldest ch. of Stephen Dummer, had gone home with f. and mo. of his w. and resid. short time at Warwick, next at Tunworth, 4 miles from Basingstoke, in Hants, where was b. his first ch.

There he had Ann, 3 Sept. 1662; Mehitable, 8 May 1665; and Dorothy, 29 Oct. 1668. He was a min. in Eng. but I do not so mark. him, for he never officiat. here; but a let. to our Gov. from the Lord Protecter; Richard, the wiser son of Oliver, during his brief exalta. 23 Mar. 1659, fully proves it; and grow. from personal acquaint. it is well worth perus. in Hutch.

For his partak. in the doleful delusion of that monstrous tribunal at Salem, that caus. the d. of so many innocents, he suffer. remorse for long yrs. with the highest Christian magnanim. supplicat. for mercy on the Lord's day, in the open congregat. tho less tenderness of conscience was shown by a very relig. magistr. the chief in that cause. See Hutch. II. 61. He may also claim the honor of being one of the earliest in exertions against domestic slavery, and in answ. to him on of his assoc. judges publish. defence. By his first w.

Folly has never been gratif. by any tradit. more than the story of the m. of this Judge S. as Hutch. I. 178, tells, that he rec. with his first w. "as common. report. thirty thousand pounds in N. E. shillings." Easy was it for credulity to accept the addit. to that tale, that she was put into the scales against an equal load of her f.'s coin. Slight arithmetic would prove, that f. an d. together would scarce. balance one tenth of the silver; so that if we strike out one of the cyphers from that 30000, and assume that dollars were the [[56]] true read instead of pounds, it might be less marvel. if equal. ridiculous. Prob. he was the richest man in the Prov. at his d. yet he left no will, and his admors. saw no use in return of inv. Amicable partition, no doubt, was suffic. for the heirs. SAMUEL, Brookline, s. of the preced. m. 15 Sept. 1702, Rebecca, eldest d. of Gov. Joseph Dudley, had Hull, b. 19 July 1703, d. in few mos.; Rebecca, 30 Dec. 1704, tho.

SEYLE, FRANCIS, as giv. by Farmer for the freem. of 13 May 1640, so print. by me in the earlier Ed. of Winthrop's Hist. and thus approv. by [[58]] Paige and Shurtleff in their lists, was not satisfact. and with gr. confid. I chang. the letters to Lyle in the Ed. of Winthrop 1853, aft. severe scrutiny of the orig. writ. in the rec. It seems almost certain, that it stands for Fr. Lyall, the surgeon. See that name. SEYMOR, SEIMOR, SEAMOR, or SEAMER, JOHN, Hartford, s. of Richard, freem. 1667, m. Mary Watson, d. of John of H. had John, b.12 June 1666; Thomas, 12 Mar. 1669; Mary, Nov. 1670; Margaret, 17 Jan. 1675; Richard, 11 Feb. 1677; Jonathan, 10 Jan. 1679; Nathaniel, 6 Nov. 1680; and Zachary 10 Jan. 1685. MATTHEW, Norwalk, s. of Thomas, was a lieut. 1718. RICHARD, Hartford 1639, but not an orig. propr. rem. 1652 to Farmington, next to Norwalk, there was a selectman 1655, and d. 25 Nov. leav. Thomas, Richard, John, and Zechariah, perhaps Mary, and Elizabeth b. June 1650; and wid. Mercy, wh. m. 22 Nov. 1656, John Steele, as his sec. w. In Genel. Reg. XII. 197, this name is mistak. for Seger, as Mr. Porter says. I presume his sis. Mary m. 29 Sept. 1644, Thomas Gridley. RICHARD, s. of the preced. was of Farmington in the list of freem. 1669, by w. Hannah, d. of Anthony Howkins, had Samuel; Ebenezer; Jonathan, bapt. 17 Apr. 1687; and ds. Hannah; and Mercy, bapt. 14 Jan. 1683. THOMAS, Norwalk, s. of Richard the first, was prob. b. in Eng. m.

Of this name, in 1834, Farmer notes in MS. eleven had been gr. at Yale, and five at other N. E. coll. but none at Harv. or Dart. SHACKFORD, or SCACKFORTH, WILLIAM, Dover 1662-72, was of the gr. jury 1682, and a capt. prob. 1696, perhaps had a fam. SHADDUCK, or CHADDOCK, ELIAS, Windsor, m. Hannah, d. of John Osborn, had only ch. Hannah, wh. m. 14 Mar. 1692, Benjamin West, and d. 26 May 1676. His wid. m. 6 Mar. 1678, Benjamin Eggleston. SHAFLIN, MICHAEL, Salem, a tailor, from Salisbury, Co. Wilts, emb. Apr. 1635 at Southampton in the James, may first have been of ano. town, but in 1637 had gr. of ld. at S.; freem. 18 May 1642, had Catharine and Sarah by w. Elizabeth wh. is among memb. of the ch. 1639, and she may be not the same, call. Alice in his will of 5 Apr. 1686, pro. 19 May 1687, made extrix. with gift of his est. in fee, pay. in four yrs. aft. his d. (that occur. 12 Dec. 1686), six pounds to ea. of the ds. Catharine King, and Sarah Stone; but wh. were hs. of those ds. is not kn. [[59]] SHAKESPEAR, ISAAC, may be the name of a soldier, k. by the Ind. at Northampton, 28 Sept. 1675, as in that acco. of Rev. Mr. Russell to our Gen. Ct. of which Coffin's valua. Hist. 389, 90, gives copy. Uzackabee Shacksbee is the name on town rec. as Mr. Judd assur. me, and he is designat. as Praisever Turner's man. Possib. he was a friend. Indian, not a few of wh. enjoy. the advantage of bear. arms in our cause; but certain it is very unlike an Eng. or even Christian name. SHALER, SHALLOR, SHALIER, SHAILER, SHAYLER, or SHALLER, MICHAEL, Boston, freem. 1690. THOMAS, Haddam, propound. for freem. 1671, rem. to Killingworth, there had Nathaniel, b. 16 Dec. 1677; went back to H. and had more, and Goodwin (wh. makes him m. 1673, Alice, d. of Jared Spencer, wid. of Thomas Brooks), gives other ch. as Thomas, a. 1674; Abel; Timothy; and Ann; but does not name Nathaniel. However he says, he sail. for the W. I. 1692, and was lost at sea. SHANNON, RICHARD, Portsmouth 1689, m. Abigail, d. of William Vaughan, had Cutt, and Nathaniel, and descend. of distinct. are num. SHAPLEIGH, spell. sometimes as sound. SHARPLEY, more oft. SHAPLEY, ALEXANDER, Kittery 1642, had some yrs. bef. been agent, prob. of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and so may be thot. to have come from Devonsh. had Catharine, wh. m. perhaps in Eng. James Treworthy; Nicholas, and other ch.; all, it may be, b. in his native ld. He soon went home, and d. there bef. 1650. BENJAMIN, New London, mariner, s. of Nicholas, m. 10 Apr. 1672, Mary, eldest d. of John Picket, had Ruth, b. 24 Dec. foll.; Benjamin, 20 Mar. 1675; Mary, 26 Mar. 1677; Joseph, 15 Aug. 1681, wh. d. young; Ann, 31 Aug. 1685; Daniel, 14 Feb. 1690; Jane, 1696; and Adam, 1698, d. young; and d. 3 Aug. 1706, in 56th yr. if the credit of the gr.st. leads us to believe he was the sec. not first Benjamin of his f. JOHN, Kittey, perhaps s. of Alexander, was serg. 1659; k. by the Ind. 29 Apr. 1706, as Penhallow tells, when his s. was tak. by them to Canada, and treat. very cruel. Niles relates the same matter with slight differ. of date. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 275. NICHOLAS, Boston, perhaps br. of Alexander, had Benjamin, b. Sept. 1645, perhaps his youngest, liv. aft. at Charlestown, was a capt. and d. 15 Feb. 1663. His will, of 21 Jan. 1662, pro. 7 Sept. 1663, gave to his w. "the ho. in wh. Mr. Roswell lives," wh. was, of course, one of the best in that town, ment. the s. Nicholas, Joseph, and Benjamin, and made Hon. Richard Russell an overseer. For bequest of a sh. in his est. to s. Joseph, is attach. a curious condition--"in case he m. Sarah, d.of Randall Nichols." His wid. Ann d. 26 Mar. 1687, in 80th. yr. She and her s. Joseph act. as excors. NICHOLAS, Kittery, s. of Alexander, b. in Eng. a man of emin. was first of Portsmouth, sold his est. there in Dec. 1644, chos. [[60]] Traesr. of the Province of Maine 1649, capt. in 1653, major in 1656, supersed. in 1663 by William Phillips, being in 1662 a magistr. next to the right worshipf. Henry Josselyn. He had w. Alice, no. ch. went home prob. seven yrs. later, and liv. long, yet came not again to our side of the ocean, I presume, but d. in Eng. 1681 or 2. His name is not includ. with. those the royal commisnrs. honor. in giv. office, wh. might seem to prove his abs. tho. special reason may be, his tenderness for Quakers. *NICHOLAS, Charlestown, s. of Nicholas the first, was a major, dism. in July 1669, by the Country Court, from that office, as a Quaker, but his nearer neighb. contin. to trust his goodness, made him rep. 1696, and he prob. had s. of the same name, and no little hesitat. is felt in distinguish. one from the other. SHARP, CHARLES, New Hampsh. 1684. JOHN, Dover 1663. JOHN, Westerly 1668. JOHN, Boston, by w. Martha had Robert, b. 1665; and prob. others. He was s. of Robert, liv. at Muddy riv. now Brookline, was lieut. of that comp. of Wadsworth at Sudbury fight, Apr. 1676, that was near. cut off to a man. A let. of his, writ. few wks. bef. his d. in Geneal. Reg. X. 65, is worth read. Dr. Pierce, in his Hist. of the town, says, "the s. of this lieut. S. afterwards lost his life in an expedit. against the Ind. in Canada." JOHN, Cambridge, merch. had w. Elizabeth wh. d. 9 Mar. 1699, in her 25th yr. as the inscr. of her gr.st. is giv. by Harris, wh. tells no more of him. RICHARD, Boston, freem. 1674, d. 5 Aug. 1677. ROBERT, Braintree, came in the Abigail, perhaps, 1635, from London, aged 20, had John, b. 12 Mar. 1643, and may have been at Rehoboth the same yr. but certain. bot. in 1650, wiht Peter Aspinwall, the large farm of William Colborn at Muddy riv.; had Mary, bapt. at Roxbury, 5 Dec. 1652, and elder d. Abigail, b. a. 1648. He d. Jan. 1655, his inv. in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 276, being of 19th of that mo. tho. Farmer had it July 1653; and his wid. Abigail, bec. sec. w. of Nicholas Clap. SAMUEL, Salem 1629, came, with Rev. Samuel Skelton, in the George Bonadventure, emb. in Apr. of this yr. with a duplicate of the chart. of the Col. by the Gov. and Assist. of Mass. betrusted to him, and they appoint. him to be of the counc. to capt. John Endicott, Gov. of their planta. with three min. Higginson, Skelton, and Bright, beside the two Browns, John, and Samuel, and Thomas Graves, the engineer. But as they were requir. to be under oath, and that was prob. never admin. (see Endicott); and as he was chos. an Assist. at the Gen. Ct. in London, 20 Oct. foll. (when Winthrop was chos. Gov. in lieu of Cradock then resign.) but never took the o. of qualificat. being on our side of the water, and Ludlow was chos. in his place, at the Ct. 10 Feb. aft. I have not giv. him the designat. of that rank. Aft. the governm. was transfer. hither, he desir. adm. freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was adm. 3 July 1632, [[61]] but had been made rul. elder, prob. in 1630, aft. d. of Houghton. By w. Alice he had Elias, bapt. 1 Jan. 1637; Edward, 14 Apr. 1639; Mary, 28 June 1640; Experience, a d. 19 Sept. 1641; Nathaniel, 10 Nov. 1644; and Hannah, 1647; beside the eldest, Abigail (perhaps by a former w.), wh. m.

Winthrop was chos. and they came together in the fleet of 1630. On 3 Jan. foll. his only d. (as from the lang. of Gov. Dudley may be infer.) was tak. from him, and his ho. burn. 16 Mar. aft. so that we may not blame, however we regret, his leav. our country forever, emb. 1 Apr. with Sir Richard Saltonstall and his fam. to go home. SHARSWOOD, GEORGE, New London 1666, had George, and William, perhaps not tw. bapt. 2 Apr. 1671; Mary, 1672; and Catharine, 1674. He d. 1 May of that yr. and his wid. m. 1678, George Darrow; and Mary m. Jonathan Hill. WILLIAM, New London, s. of the preced. by w. Abigail had Jonathan, George, and Abigail, all bapt.

SHATSWELL, SHOTSWELL, SATCHELL, or SATCHELLS, JOHN, Ipswich 1633, was fined, 3 Sept. by our Gen.

I ought to ment. that some slight uncert. is felt, whether this man were s. of Abraham, since Weymouth rec. show, that one JOHN there m. 7 June 1658; Sarah Waters, and he may have been of Abraham, and this h. of Alice have been br. of Abraham. However, as he nam. his eldest, or sec. s. Abraham (wh. serv. as a soldier on Conn. riv. Mar. 1676), my assumpt. may be good.

He was b. at Cranbrook, in Kent, on the ch. reg. there call. s. of Edmund, b. 4 Aug. 1616, and prob. cous. ger. of the preced. In 1643 he rem. to Boston, and was engag. soon to m. the only ch. of Henry Webb; and in the rec. of our Gen. Ct. II. 46, we read this unusu. favor: "Jacob S. and Margaret Webbe are permit. to join in m. tho. but twice publish." He had Elizabeth b. 1 Oct. 1644; Sarah, 14 Sept. 1652; Ebenezer, 4 Feb. 1654; a ch. whose name is not told, 25 July 1655; Mehitable, 28 May 1658; and Jacob, posthum. 23 July 1659. In 1648 he was chos. to the ar. co. and the inscript. on his tomb in the old gr.yd. tells, that he d. 22 Mar. 1659, aged 42, only ch. then liv. being Elizabeth and Mehitable. His wid. m. Rev.

Always have I suspect. that this name is the same as Sherman, even on our side of the water, but a large proportion of one branch being Quakers, the distinct. was easi. and harmless. made by insert. of the first let. of our alpha.

Happi. that project, caus. some trouble by adverse claim of Plymouth, and more by the iniquit. pursuit of the poor Gortonists, to drive them from Warwick, was overthrown by the Charter. giv. to Roger Williams; and both the unjust pretensions were abandon. See Winthrop II. 252. To support the Mass. claim, and defeat the R. I. chart. of 14 Mar. 1644, a fictitios gr. of that territory bear. date 10 Dec. preced. that is earlier by 94 days, was brot. out from the files in our Secretary's office by Mr. Felt, and aft. slumber of two hundred and thirteen yrs. innocent. publ. in Geneal. Reg. XI. 41, 2, 3. I have examin. the orig. parchm. and have no doubt of its worthless character, as several of the signatures, if not all, are pretty evident forgeries; and scrupulous history would be content with the declarat. of the Earl of Warwick, whose name is the first sign. of course, as was the first man in the Parliament's commiss. for the N. E. Planta. He (as Roger Williams wrote to John Mason of Conn.) said that he had not sign. any such patent bef. that of 14 Mar. "and he was sure, that chart. wh. the Mass. Englishmen pretend. had never passed the table." In 1645 Dudley was our Gov. and we may be sure, he had no belief in it, or he would have relied on its absolute grant when writing to the governm. of Plymouth. He makes no refer. to it. Endicott, the Gov. of 1644, and Winthrop, the ch. ruler of 1646, 7, and 8, must despise it, aft. they knew it was denounc. as no act of the signers in Eng. How, and by wh. this docum. was fabricat. may be a curious question. Not a single seal of the pretend. nine signers is attach. but three of them, Rudyard, Vassal, and Bond, in their solemn oder of 15 May 1646, giv. in full by Winthrop II. 280-2; four of them, Heselrige [[73]] and Corbet, in equal. solemn act of 22 July 1647, with the two Earls of Warwick and Manchester, Winthrop II. 319;- and the same four in a prior letter of 25 May 1647, Winthrop II. 320, implicit. deny any such grant to Mass. So that we have seen of the nine denounc. the spurious act, and four of them twice over, and the two Earls even. thrice. Prob. the parchm. was sent by one or both of the former Mass. agents, Hugh Peter and Thomas Welde; but I ought not to charge on either of them an intent to deceive, unless a false date led irresistab. to such deduct. It was only a draft or project of a patient, it might be said; but that 10 Dec. 1643 was a Sunday. A judicial blindess seems to have attend. base or childish attempts at forgery in the remarka. instances of tak. the Lord's day for date of the magnific. grant of all New Hampsh. 17 May 1629, usual. call. the Wheelwright deed,--the petty convey. to Brewster of only eighty acres at Portsmouth, 6 Dec. 1629,-and this charter or patent to rob. R. I. of all the terrio. both E. and W. of Narraganset Bay, 10 Dec. 1643. SIC SEMPER INJUSTIS. A subsequent or aft. thot. was, indeed, the contrivance of Welde in his famous issue of "Antiomians and Familists, & c." near. a. the same time. But such jugglery is more to be expect. in a controversial pamphlet, than a solemn State docum. Rogues must always dread the sun, and sometimes the almanac.* The w. of S. was Margaret, and he d. Sept. 1650, she surv. * A brief note (on the first word of the last sentence of this invalua. docum. "Yeomen"), by Mr. Felt, is very significant. It proves that Chaucer, wh. d. 244 yrs. bef. employ. the term for Given. Aft. Chaucer it was not prob. used in many cases; but between the time of Bloody Queen Mary, and booby King James, it must have given way to our modern word. The use of it proves too much by a great deal, if intend. to indicate the issue of the deed Dec. 1643 bef. that of Mar. 1644. In those 94 days our languge did not so rapid improve; but near twelve times as many months, I suppose, our generous had supersed. the barbarous term, at least insolemn acts of States; and we all feel, that the right of existence in a large community should not be sett. by a point of verbal criticism. Since the foregoing was written, I have gained the benefit of the sec. Vol. of the Hist of N.E. and find that Dr. Palfrey (whose inspection nothing escapes) had felt more than one difficulty on this subject. A valua. note on p. 217 states, "resecting this patent," "there are some things obscure." He then adopts the suggest. that "it was prob. obt. by Welde," concur. with the presumpt. express. in the Rec. of R. I. II. 162, but aggravates the palpable obscure by a most reasona. conject. that it was "without authority from Mass; Yet it would seem very odd, that a solemn patent conveying jurisdict. from the sovereign power of Eng. to the colony of Mass. over the whole of the present state of R. I. should be solicit. by a private man for her without any commiss. thereunto. Next, the acumen of the historian observes, that "Williams's patent CONFLICTS with it; and we are left without informat. as to the cause wh. could have led to such an inconsistency on the part of the Commissioners." Certain. that act of the E. of Warwick, Sir Arthur Hesselrige, Samuel Vassal, Miles [[74]] JOHN, Cambridge, prob. br. of Edward, m. 4 Oct. 1649, Rebecca, d. of Samuel Greenhill, had Rebcca; Sarah, b. 5 Mar. 1656; John, 22 Jan. 1658; Violet; Elizabeth bapt. 29 July 1660; Edward, b.31 July 1662; Samuel, bapt. 3 July 1664; Thomas, b. 30 Apr. 1666; Deborah; Abigail; and Hannah. His w. d. 22 Dec. 1689, and he m. Martha, wid. of Arthur Corbet, and Wm. Spurstowe on 14 Mar. 1644, conflicts with the possibility of their having on 10 Dec. preced. grant. and convey. similar, aye the same, power and authority to an antagonist. comp. Still, it is not only the conflict we inquire about, but the case with wh. the weaker side prevail.; and so the perservering scrutiny next finds remarka. "the forbearance of Mass. to found any practical claim upon it." Great sagacity is observa. in suggest. of the reason by the elaborate writer,--"to have been the caution of her magistra. a. involv. them in an admissn. of the lawfulness of the authty. intrusted to the Parliamenta. Commissnrs." Here seems much more refinement than solidity; but all need of such exercise of skill was taken away very soon, when it was found that the pretended patent was only a flimsy fabrication. Dr. Palfrey had on the former p. refer. to a letter in Gov. Winth's. Hist. II. 193, from the E. of Northumberland and eleven others of the princip. leaders in affairs, of wh. eight were not Commissnrs. of plantations, and took notice that only three whose names are sign. to the spurious parchm. as Commissnrs. unit. with that recommend. of Ro. Williams to friend. treatm. and therefore puts an inquiry--Were the Commissnrs. cautious a. compromis. their dignity by demand. of Mass. what she was not unlikely to deny? I can ascribe no such exquisite craft to our friends in Eng. epecial. bec. in Nov. 1646 the Commissnrs. Order of 15 May preced. (relat. to Gorton and Holden), so clear. asserts the wrong in views of Mass. "We find withal that the tract of ld. call. the Narraganset Bay (concerning wh. the questn. is arisen), was divers yrs. since inhab. by those of Providence, Portsmouth, and Newport, wh. are interest. in the compl. and that the same is wholly without the bounds of the Mass. patent gr. by his Majesty." This is on the page in Winthrop II. 281, next to that quoted by the modern hist. to explain why Mass. would not take a charter. Deep. as is felt the shame for such deception, that led our governm. to inform Williams of the recent reception (27 Aug. 1645) of a charter, dat. 10 Dec. 1643, giv. to Mass. the Narraganset Bay, and a certain tract of ld. wherein Providence and the isl. of Quidy were includ. as in Palfrey II. 217 is plainly told, we may well exult at the speedy triumph of equity and right in R. I. and Providence Plantations (feeble as that side seem) over the formidab. array of the four provinces confederat. Fiat justitia. Conecticut and Plymouth, wh. were each stimulat. to claim part of this territo. that now forms one of the glorious. old thirteen U.S. (at least, the greater part by one and the remainder by the other) seem easi. to have discern. the futili. of such claims; and believe that Gov. Bradford has not permit. even a word on the right of his col. over R. I. to appear in his copious Hist. The love of justice and a true sense of honor soon brought Gov. Winthrop to relinquish the whole jurisdict. E. of the Pawcatuck riv. It is curious to read the modesty of statement by the recet hist. of R. I. in the instructive pages 118 and 119 of Gov. Arnold. The sanctity of that parchm. was assumed at Providence, in 1859, as it had been in 1645, at Boston; but henceforward I hope, that neither patriotism nor timidity will be called to believe a lie.

BENJAMIN, Stratford, s. of the first Samuel of the same, had, says Cothren, Job, Nathaniel, Enos, Benjamin, Samuel, Timothy, and James; but C. gives no date to either, nor tells the name of mo. nor d. of f. From more careful glean. I obt. some facts, as foll. He m. 1683, Rebecca Phippeny, perhaps d. of James of S. wh. d. 1739, and he d. 1741. BEZALEEL, Watertown, s. of Rev. John, prob. eldest, aft. leav. coll. was m. and Bond marks his d. bef. 1685, leav. childr. Perhaps his m. was in the East Indies, engag. in trade there, and mak. his resid. abroad, as I infer from let. of Rev. John Higginson to his s. Nathaniel at Madras, Aug. 1697, ask. "what has bec. of Bezaleel S.'s w. and ch." See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. 200. As no more is ever heard of him, I conject. that he was then d. at least in the Catal. 1698 of the Magn. he is among the stars. DANIEL, New Haven, br. of the preced. among the freem. in 1669, m. 28 Sept. 1663, Abiah, or Abigail, [[79]] d. of Rev. Nicholas Streete, had Abigail, b. 5 Sept. 1665; ano. d. b. 1667, d. very soon; Daniel, 5 Sept. 1668; Mary 28 Oct. 1670; John, Nov. 1673; Elizabeth 20 Sept. 1676; Samuel, 27 Jan. 1679; Eunice, 10 Nov. 1682; was ens. of the milit. 1676 and there liv. a propr. 1685. DAVID, Stratford, youngest s. of the first Samuel (miscall. Daniel by Cothren), m. Mercy, perhaps d. of Jeremiah Judson, was one of the found. of ch. in Stratfield, now Bridgeport, 1695, and deac. in it and d. 1753. EDMUND, Watertown, br. or more prob. Mr. Judd thot. f. of Rev. John, a clothier, was one of the selectmen 1636, adm. freem. 25 May of that yr. went home, and liv. at Dedham, Eng. 1648, and 66, says Bond. EDMUND, Stratford, s. the first Samuel, by w. Susanna, says Cothren, had Bezaleel, b. 11 Apr. 1676, wh. is error for 1 Jan. 1674; Sarah, bapt. Aug. 1678; Samuel, b. 8 Jan. 1679; Edmund, 20 Mar. 1680, and Matthew, 8 Jan. 1683; and d. in that yr. EDMUND, perhaps rather, Edmund, Wethersfield 1636, is said to have foll. his s. Rev. John, N. E. prob. the preeed. and was an orig. propr. of W. but gave his d. to s. Samuel, being well advanc. in yrs. when he rem. to New Haven, was adm. freem. 29 Oct. 1640, and d. 1641. HENRY, Boston, perhaps, but I kn. nothing of him, exc. that in the inv. of John Mills, 1651, this man's name appears among debtors. JAMES, Sudbury, s. of Rev. John, there began to preach 1677, m. 1680, Mary, d. of Thomas Walker, had John, and Thomas, was very unhappy in his place, so as in July 1705 to be strip. of his functions, "deposed from his pastoral office," is the exact phrase of 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. 87, but for the cause of such unusual proceed. I have less anxious. sought, than to learn how he went to Elizabethtown in N. J. and aft. to Salem, there d. 1718. See Mather's Hecatompolis. JOHN, Watertown, prob. s. of Edmund, b. at Dedham, in Essex, 26 Dec. 1613, bapt. 4 Jan. foll. bred at Emanuel Coll. Cambridge Univ. where "When his turn came to be a grad." says the Magnalia, "he serious. consider. the subscript. requir. of him, and upon invincib. argum. bec. so dissatisf. therewithal, that, advis. with Mr. Rogers, Dr. Preston, and other emin. persons, wh. commend. his conscient. consider. counsel, he WENT AWAY under the persecut. charact. of a COLLEGE PURITAN." Now I testify that 12 July 1842, I saw at the Univ. of Cambridge, in the origin. the subscript. of John Sherman on tak. his A. B. 1629-30, and repeat. on commenc. A. M. 1633. Too easily was this man presumed to be our John, and aft. large investigat. the correctness of that part of MatherÕs relat. is establish. By suggest. of Rev. Hen. B. Sherman of Newark, N. J. I was led to obtain more minute nad very curious details of THREE other John Shermans at Cambridge Univ. but very short time bef. or aft. this Watertown min. all by the acad. rec. made D. D. and one was even of Emmanuel, and another of the three was from the same Essex Dedham beside; yet all were anti-puritan. He of Dedham was at Queens, tak. A. B. Jan. 1650, and aft. a fellow of Jesus, of wh. coll. he wrote a hist. was arch-deac. of Salisbury, and d. 1671. The Emanuel scholar was a little earlier, A. B. 1642, had been matricul. 1638, four yrs. after the N. E. cry in the wilderness by his namesake began; but the Trinity divine, wh. misled me, matricul. Dec. 1626, of course, something too old for our John, was A. B. Jan. 1630; A. M. 1633; B. D. 1640; and D. D. 1660. He was eject. from his fellowsh. 1650 for refus. to sign the ÒEngagement,Ó wh. was a contriv. by the Independ. or Cromwell party to put down the other. See NealÕs Hist. of Pur. IV. 27, of Ed. 1796. But he was learn. and gave some of his skill to WaltonÕs Polyglot, and my Newark benefactor says, he was of Ipswich, and d. 1663. The yr. aft. tak. his sec. degr. a. the end of Apr. 1634, S. emb. in the Elizabeth at Ipswich, where he had fam. [[80]] relat. and reach Boston in June. At Watertown he, resid. near a yr. and was dism. with others from the ch. at W. 29 May 1635, says Bond, to form a new one on the Conn. riv. tho. we read in the Magn. "not many wks. at W. bef. he rem. upon mature adv. unto New Haven." Now instead of not many wks. we know New Haven was not sett. until more than four yrs. after he arr. at W. Such is the perpetual laxity of narrative in the ecclesiast. histori. of N. E. Beside this, it was not to New Haven that he first went, but to Hartford and Wethersfield, where the attractions of Hooker or Smith were strong eno. and at the latter he obt. gr. of a house lot alongside of that giv. by Rev. Henry Smith to his s. Samuel. Prob. no work in the ch. was early desir. or at least gain. for he was releas. from serv. of watch and ward not until 1640 at May sess. of Gen. Ct. Soon aft. he sold to Thomas Bunce his Wethersfield lot, and rem. to MiIford, join. the ch. there, yet acting only in civ. life, rep. 1643, and preach. for short season in 1645 for the early days of Branford. There he was desir. to sett. as their min. but no ch. was then gather. By first w. Mary (wh d. says the ch. rec. at M. 8 Sept. 1644, he had, says Mather, six ch. wh. is liable to doubt (tho. we are igno. of the date of m. as well as the parents of w.) for it is not prob. that he was m. in Eng. nor in our country bef. 1638, then 24 yrs. old. Four ch. are ment. Mary, b. perhaps in 1639; Bezaleel, bapt. at M. 15 Nov. 1640, H. C. 1661; Daniel, 27 Mar. 1642; and Samuel, 14 Apr. 1644, wh. prob. d. soon. At New Haven he m. sec. w. Mary Launce, late in 1645, a maiden in the fam. of Gov. Eaton, and glad eno. must she have been to escape the perpetual trouble grow. from the unhap. temper of the w. of the Gov. full report of wh. is giv. in Appx. to the charm. Hist. Discours. of Rev. Dr. Bacon. By her he had Samuel, again, bapt. at N. H. 23 Aug. 1646, and next yr. he rem. to Watertown, wh. on req. obt. his dismis. from Milford ch. 8 Nov. 1647. With more than his usual exuberance of invent. Mather makes it" upon the d. of Phillips" that was in July 1644), Watertown offer. a call and he accept. tho. he adds," at the same time one of the chhs. at Boston used their endeav. to bec. the owner of so well talented, a person, and sev. chhs. in London also by lett. much urged him to come over and help them." If this be true (wh. is quite unlike.) for London, we kn. it must be false for B. since there was only one ch. many yrs. later, and in that Cotton and Wilson could wish or rec. no collea. Our sec. ch. where Mather was all his days a min. was not gather. bef. 5 June 1650, and could sett. no pastor bef. Nov. 1655. Stranger than such inexcusa. carelessn. however, is what he tells of this w. call her mo. d. of Darcy, Earl Rivers, one of the Popish Counsellors of Charles I. wh. had no d. that m. a Launce; and next, in mak. this w. bring "no less than twenty [[81]] ch. add. unto the number of six, wh. he had bef." Authority for such improb. he design. his reader should infer, I suppose, from tell. in the begin. of the sentence," by the d. of that Mr. Launce, wh. is yet liv. among us, Sherman had no less than, &c." To this fable full credit was long giv. bec. it obt. the sober sanction of Hutch. I. 19, a relative of Mather, more than once misled by him. But in our day, a desend. of Sherman by this w. aft. bestow. large investigat. with adequate critical skill, puts the result, 1851, with "special wonder" in Geneal. Reg. 307, as not "establ. the Darcy lineage." The writer refers to an emin. Eng. antiquary, wh. had been very slow to reject the tale even of Mather, or to distrust so judicious an auth. as Hutch. but pursu. the inq. long, and wrote me the issue, three yrs. later," aft. all the attent. I have paid to Mr. Willards point, there is no satisfacto. conclus. arr. at; and I am inclin. to think, that there was real. no particle of truth in the report wh. Mather had receiv. and has giv. circul. to." Equal distrust is more natur. felt a. the number of ch. that led our ecclesiast. hist.; to dilate in eight and twenty lines on "such Polytokie," as he tersely or foolishly calls it. Suspicion arises from this fact, that exactly one less than half of the twenty-six ch. giv. to both ws. have never found a name either in rec. or benevol. tradit. See Bond, 432. Yet one more, Benjamin, was prob. lost from the rec. (by wearing out the paper) of b. 23 Apr. 1661, and d. 4 Oct. 1662. By the sec. w. wh. long outliv. him, d. 9 Mar. 1710, we see, then, ten ch. or at most eleven, instead of twenty, were b. and whence could the error arise? Aft. the b. of the first ch. the f. was always at Watertown, there as min. he would make rec. of bapt. of his own, as well as of others; but the rec. is lost, and we have to seek in town rec. for entry of births; and fortunate. his cous. of the same name was many yrs. the clk. Five only are thus found, Abigail, 3 Feb. 1648; Joanna, 3 Sept. 1652; Mary, 5 Mar. 1657; Grace, 10 Mar. 1659; nd John, 17 Mar. 1660; but with more or less confidencc, beside Benjamin, five more can be read in Bond (tho. the first two. are count. by him as of first w.), James, bef. ment. Abiah, Elizabeth, Esther, and Mercy. Sometimes I have suspsect. that the ch. of both contempo. Johns were count. for one by the informant of Mather, and very exact is the rec. of seven of capt. John, part. bef. part. aft. he bec. clk. and so by office bound to kn. bs. ds. and ms. No weight can he denied to such surmise from the fact of differ. names of the ws. of Rev. John and capt. John, for the prefix of respect in his less likely to be omit. than the bapt. name in w. With all his assidu. Bond could not satisfy hims. How Mather got this story of the friutful vine, conject. would be various, if anyways reasona. The eldest d. of this sec. w. could not have told it to him, for she d. the yr. of Mather's bachelor's degr. 20 yrs. bef. his book [[82]] was writ. and her mo. (wh. was liv. aft. the light of the immortal author had shone upon the readers of Magnalia a dozen yrs.) could not be so monstrous. wrong in the tale of her own childr. But if she did give him these myths of her noble descent. and prolific felicity, either she was insane, wh. he had not sanity eno. to discov. or she was irreverent. playing on his bottomless credulity. More prob. however, seems this solntion, that much of what he had heard about Sherman was forgotten, and sev. stories turn. into one, and he tax. his fancy (that was always lively, especial. at a marvel), for some incidents, and confus. the whole. Sherman was adm. freem. of Mass. 1669, and was struck with fever and delirium in the pulpit of his s. at Sudbury where he preach. his last sermon, 5 July 1685 (as, in his diary, is told by Sewall), made his will 6 Aug. and d. two days aft. He made James execor. and (includ. two dec.) names twelve other ch. Mary, the ch. of first w. m. a. 1658, Daniel Allen; Abigail m. 8 Aug. 1661, Rev. Samuel Willard; Mary, of sec. w. m. 27 May 1679, Ellis Barron, jr.; and Mercy m. Apr. 1700, Samuel Barnard. JOHN, Watertown, cous. of the preced. b. at Dedham, Co. Essex, freem. 17 May 1637, by w. Martha, d. of William Palmer (whose wid. hav. m. Roger Porter, by this means came the error, that she wh m. S. was d. of Porter), had John, b. 2 Nov. 1638; Martha, 21 Feb. 1641; Mary, 25 Mar. 1643; Sarah, 17 Jan. 1648; d.at 19 yrs.; Elizabeth 15 Mar. 1649; Joseph, 14 May 1650; and Grace, 20 Dec. 1653, acc. Bond; but Cothren, 680, omits Elizabeth and makes Grace 1655. He was capt. selectman 1637, and oft. aft. town clk. many yrs. from 1648, rep. 1651, 3, and 63, d. 25 Jan. 1691, aged 76. His wid. d. 7 Feb. 1701. Martha m. 26 Sept. 1661, Francis Bowman; Mary m. 18 Jan. 1667, Timothy Hawkins, jr. and d. 6 Nov. foll. Elizabeth m. 20 July 1681, Samuel Gaskell, or Gascoyne of Charlestown. John, Watertown, eldest ch. of the preced. was k. as Bond says (but I presume only so bad. wound. as to d. soon) in the gr. Narraganset bat. with the Ind. 19 Dec. 1675, being of Mosely's comp. left. no issue, proh. never m. JOHN, Marshfield, s. prob. of the first William, m. at Boston, perhaps as sec. w. 25 0ct. 1667, Jane, d. of Walter Hatch, had sev. ch. by ea. w. it is thot. but dates or names are not seen. He may be the man, wh. took o. of fidel. at Dartmouth 1684. JOHN, Stratford, s. of the first Samuel of the same, was disting. in Conn. speaker of the ho. made an Assist. in 1713, for ten yrs.; by w. Elizabeth had Ichabod; Hannah, bapt. July 1680; Samuel, Aug. 1682; Elizabeth Oct. 1684; John, June 1687; Sarah, Jan. 1690; Mary, Mar. 1692; and Susanna, Nov. 1693. He rem. early, perhaps 1673, to Woodbury, where he was town clk. capt. and deac. and d. 13 Dec. 1730. His wid. d. 1 Oct. 1744. JOSEPH, Wethersfield 1639, or earlier, had Samuel, to wh. he gave his ld. at W. and rem. to [[83]] Stamford 1641, says Chapin, Hist. 163,4, tho. Mr. Judd (wh. had bestow. much research on rec. of W., does not agree that the name of Samuel's f. was Joseph, for in the first two generat. he says there was no Joseph in Conn. and Hinman, 72, and prob. Chapin mistook Jo. (the perpet. abbreviat. for John), as Joseph. The fifth lot was, he is confid. set out to Edward, easi. read Edmund. JOSEPH, Watertown, youngest s. of capt. John, a blacksmith, m. 18 Nov. 1673 Elizabeth d. of Edward Winship of Cambridge, had John, b. 11 Jan. 1675, Edward, 2 Sept. 1677; Joseph, 8 Feb. 1680; Samuel, 28 Nov. 1681; but Cothren makes it 1682; Jonathan, 24 Feb. 1684; Ephraim, 16 Mar. 1685 d. soon; Ephriam, again, 20 Sept. 1686; Elizabeth 13 July 1687, unless 1689 be the true yr.; William, 28 July 1692; Sarah, 2 June 1694; and Nathaniel, 19 Sept. 1696; and d. 20 Jan. 1731. William, the youngest but one of these s. was a shoemak. at Newton, and m. Watertown, 3 Sept. 1715, Mehitable Wellington, had as third s. Roger, b. 19 Apr. 1721 at N. forever to be honor. as one of the framers, with Franklin, of the Declarat. of Independ. and of the most sagacious men ever produc. by N. E. MATTHEW, Stratford, br. of Benjamin, had w. Hannah, and d. 1698, leav. David, b. 1692; and Hannah, perhaps more. NATHANIEL, Boston, perhaps s. of Samuel of the same, by w. Grace had Nathaniel, b. 19 Dec. 1659; and, by w. Mary had Mary, 28 Mar. 1665. NATHANIEL, Stratford, br. of Matthew, m. 1680, Mary, perhaps d. of James Phippeny, and d. 1712. PELEG, Portsmouth, R. I. m. 25 July 1657, Elizabeth d. Thomas Lawton, had Thomas, b. 8 Aug. 1658; William, 3 Oct. 1659; Daniel, 15 June 1665; Mary, 11 Dec. 1664; Peleg, 8 Oct. 1666; Ann, 30 Apr. 1668; Elizabeth 25 Nov. 1670; Samuel, 16 Oct. 1672; Eber, 20 Oct. 1674; John, 28 Oct. 1676; Benjamin, 15 July 1677; Sarah, 25 Jan. 1680; Isabel, 3 June 1683; and George, 18 Dec. 1687. PHILIP, Roxbury, came in 1633, a single man, freem. 14 May 1634, first on the list aft. Gov. Haynes, m. Sarah Odding, d. of John Porter's w. by former h. went home early, but soon came again, and was led away, says the ch. rec. to familism by Porter, disarm. Nov. 1637, and banish. next yr. went to R. I. there sign the compact of civil governm. Mar. 1638, was Secr. or Recorder of the Col. 1648, and was rep. 1656. See Callender, 30. As secr. he was happy eno. to have a descend. in 1857, prob. in seventh generat. fill. the same post; but I can hardly indicate the line. He had Samson and Samuel, perhaps more. PHILIP, Boston, "apprent. of John Blower," but it will not easi. be learn. wh. was his f. He d. 12 Dec. 1655. RICHARD, Boston, merch. by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 1 Dec. 1635, had two ds.

IX. 227, wh. ment. also, gr.ch. Mary, and Elizabeth Spawle, wh. Bond read Sprawle, so that he must have had five ds. if not six. If it be very diffic. to find anything of the fam. in other rec. his terrib. lawsuit against Capt.

SAMSON, Portsmouth, R. I. s. of Philip, m. 4 Mar. 1675, Isbel, d. of John Tripp, had Philip, b. 16 Jan. foll.; Sarah, 24 Sept. 1677; Alice, 12 Jan. 1680; Samson, 28 Jan. 1682; Abiel, 15 Oct. 1684; and Job, 8 Nov. 1687. SAMUEL, Ipswich, 1636, of importance eno. to be disarm. with only one more of that town, Nov. 1637, as danger. heretic, d. bef. 1660, leav. ch. Samuel, Nathaniel, and Mary Clark, but wh. was the w. is not seen. SAMEL, Boston, husbandiman; perhaps br. of Philip, by w. Grace had Philip, b. 31 Dec. 1637; Martha, 5 Sept. 1639; both bapt. 8 Mar. 1640; Nathaniel, 19 Dec. 1642; Jonathan, 11 Feb. 1644, a. 3 days old; and Philip, d. young. He had join. the ch. 1 Mar. and was adm. freem. 13 May 1640; and his w. join. the ch. 29 Aug. 1641; he d. early in 1645, and in 1652 the Gen. Ct. interfer. in admin. of his est. by the deacons of Boston ch. SAMUEL, Stratford, br. of Rev. John, perhaps did not come so early as 1634, wh. Cothren, 60, assumes, but was aft. 1640 some yrs. at Wethersfield, there had houselot, giv. by his f.; was among first resid. at Stamford, and had sev. ch. b. there; was chos. an Assist. 1662, 3, 4, and aft. the union of the Cols. of Conn. and N. H. 1665-7, but tho. nominat. for 1668, he fail. of the elect. and is no more heard of exc. in project. with others, 1672, settlem. of Woodbury. Cothren says he m. in Eng. Sarah Mitchell, and brot. her hither; but this is to the last degr. improb. for he brings him in 1634, then only 19 yrs. old at most, perhaps only 18, and in the mo. country very few so young were m. beside wh. he calls this sis. of Rev. Jonathan, wh. does not seem to have had such sis. at least we kn. that Richard Mather, a fellow passeng. with Mitchell's f. in 1635, has no refer. to a d. then m. on our side of the water, and f. Mitchell in his will of 1646 names ds. only Susanna and Hannah, no Sarah; and beyond that, our Sherman tribe was from the part of Essex, while the Mitchells were of the W. Riding of Yorksh. on the edge of Lancash. opposite sides of the kingdom, between wh. two hundred and thirty yrs. ago intercourse was very rare. Reconciliat. of the principal fact (if it be true) may be gain. by a resona. conject. that the m. tho. it could hard. have occur. in Eng. was some yrs. aft. com. of the parties hither. The dates of b. of their ch. give further evid. as Cothren hims. furnish. them, of his error, as the earliest is 1641, and the latest 1665, wh. is beyond the usual result of a m. in 1634. His roll, with slight correction, is: Samuel, b. 19 Jan. [[85]] 1641; Theophilus, 28 Oct. 1643; Matthew, 21 Oct. 1645; Edmund, 4 Dec. 1647; John, 8 Feb. 1651; Sarah, 8 Feb. 1654; Nathaniel, 21 Mar. 1657; Benjamin, 29 Mar. 1662; and Daniel (wh. careful Mr. Judd made David) 15 Apr. 1665. Some ground for support of the tradit. of m. with the d. of Mitchell may appear in two of the names of these ch. Matthew and Sarah; but I must adher to my conject. a. the time. When he d. might seem as hard to settle, as his date of m. Cothren tells, that he d. bef. Oct. 1684, but it was prob. fifteen yrs. later, at least we kn. that div. of his est. among heirs, whose lang. implies recent dec. of their ancest. was made Sept. 1700, and deeds by him as late as 1694 can be read. SAMUEL, Boston, s. perhaps of Samuel of Ipswich, by w. Naomi had Nathaniel, b. 19 Dec. 1659; Samuel, 3 Oct. 1661, d. soon; and Samuel, again, 24 Apr. 1664. SAMUEL, Stratford, eldest s. of Samuel of the same, m. 19 June 1665, Mary, d. of Daniel Titterton, had Mary, b. 7 May 1666; Daniel, 23 1669; Susanna, 22 July 1670; Sarah, bapt.

His wid. d. 1731. SAMUEL, Portsmouth, R. I. s. of Philip, m. 3 Feb. 1681, Martha, d. of John Tripp, had Sarah, b. 10 Apr. 1682; Mary, 1 Dec. 1683; Mehitable, 18 Aug. 1685; Samuel, 12 June 1687; and Othniel, 29 Jan. 1690. Perhaps he had former w. Sarah, that d. at Marshfield July 1680. THEOPHILUS, Stratford 1669, was br. of the sec. Samuel of the same, and a man of distinct. d. early in 1712; but Cothren gives him no w. or ch. THOMAS, Ipswich 1638. WILLIAM, Plymouth 1632, may have come in 1629, for to one of the name was giv. by our Gov. and Comp. in London, liberty to bring in his kine from Northampton in fourteen days from 26 Feb. doubtless to be emb. in the fleet with Higginson. He m. 1639, Prudence Hill, whose f. is unkn. to me, was of Duxbury and Marshfield 1643, had prob. John, b. 1646, and William; but Winsor may have confus. f. and s. The f. d. or was bur. 25 Oct. 1679. WILLIAM, Marshfield, prob. s. of the preced. m. 25 Dec. 1667, not 26 Dec. 1677, both dates being giv. in Geneal. Reg. VI. 348. Desire, d. of Edward Dotey, had Hannah, b. 1668; Elizabeth 1670, wh. d. young; William, 1672; Patience, 1674; and Experience, 1678; and d. perhaps early in 1681. His wid. m. 24 Nov. of that yr.

ROBERT, Boston, had John, bapt. 28 May 1648, "a. six wks. old," says the ch. rec. but tho. the ancient copy calls him "s. of our br. Robert I feel compell. aft. long investigat. to say, that it seems to be mistake, inasmuch as there was no br. Robert S. of our ch. nor does the town rec. give any such person. To be sure the ch. and town rec. in the orig. for many early yrs. are both lost, and the copies are of various value; that of the ch. very far superior to the town copy, especisally as gaps in 1647, 8, and 9 are num. Now, since the name of f. is not seen in any time bef. nor for a long success. of yrs. aft. if ever, my conject. is, that John, the ch. bapt. on that day, was s. of Henry, and d. soon. That this may not appear too hazaradous a guess, I beg, the student of our early manners to obs. that Henry had brot. to bapt. his three ch. in a short time aft. their sev. births; but of six succeed. ch. no one was brot. up to the font bef. the fifth day aft. b. of a seventh, and then the rec. has this strange relat.: on 15 Apr. 1660, were bapt. ch. of our br. Henry Shrimpton, Sarah, aged eleven yrs.; Abigail, two yrs.; Bethia, one yr.; and Elizabeth at five days. The three intermed. were, I presume, d. and my excuse for omission of such ordinance in the six cases, is, that the f. was too much impress. with the d. of his s. John. If in opposit. to this conject. it be suggest. that Henry had deriv. prejudice against the ceremony of inf. bapt. the inq. natural. springs up, if his conscient. scruple restrain. him in 1649, and 1653, and 1654, and 1656, and 1658, and 1659, why should it have relax. in 1660? Still,if my disesteem of the copy in the old engrossing hand that serves for first ch. rec. seem too confident, I must be excus. from abundant experience of the errors in such docum. Our town rec. as it is call. (I mean the oldest MS. venerat. by me, as the County Recorder's Copy from the lost transcript of the lost orig. rec. of the town clk. of the writs) asserts falsely, that "Elinor, the d. of Henry Shrimpton and of his w. Mary, dec. 9 Mar. 1652," on p. 128 whereas Mary was the ch. not the w. and Elinor was the w wh. had three or four ch. aft. that date of d. and there was no ch. nam. Elinor, that we hear of.

SIDALL, FRANCIS, is the name print. as one of the soldiers in Moseley's comp. Dec. 1675 but I suppose it a mispell.

The print. vol. prepar. with exempla. devot. makes them all to be b. at Boston, but a fair infer. is against it, as no rec. is found bef. 1714, and then the whole six are brot. into our town rec. He made his will 20 May 1736, but it was not pro. bef. 7 July 1748, soon aft. his d. and his wid. d. 20 Mar. 1763 or 4, the uncertain. of fam. geneal. rais. a suspicion that the author had confus. old and new style so many yrs. aft. d. of "Mr. Old Style."

JOSEPH, Cambridge, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. came with his f. in inf. m. 5 Dec. 1660, Jemima, d. of Andrew Belcher the first of the same, wh. d. a. 1675, had sev. ch. of wh.

But others there were, as the fam. tradit. makes two s. lost at sea; and fully confirm. is it by the fact, that aft. the d. of w. in the begin. of Philip's war, and aft. m. of sec. w. he made deed of trust, 7 Nov. 1681, to Andrew Belcher, their uncle, in favor of his s.

Jemima, m. 2 Dec. 1687, John Hall; of Medford; and Elizabeth m. 18 Nov. 1685, Samuel Green, jr. of Boston. In Milford a Joseph is nam. 1648; but I think it may be a mistake for 1673.

Peaceable, wid. of John Egleton, (wh. d. 1659); and tho. she d. bef. 5 July 1661, yet tradit. tells that there were no ch. of the sec. m. with Hannah, wid. of Hendrick Hendrickson. His ch. Daniel, Thomas, and Robert, were all Peaceable's; and he d. 1690, it is thot. bec. admin. of his est. was grant. 13 Jan. 1691. DANIEL, Fairfield s. of the preced. by w. Abigail had Daniel, Peacable, Abigail, John, Jemima, and Mary; but no dates of b. can be found; and he d. 1697.

C. 1727, whose descend. have confer. gr. honor on the State; and d. 1748. Fam. tradit. makes the first Daniel come from Holland; and the deravat. is quite distinct from the city of Lucca, in Italy, in the early day of the Protestant reformat. thro. Geneva, where had sett. the f. of one Daniel. This Daniel was chos. 1575 into the Council of 200 for that Republic. Sometimes in fam. tradit. there is a basis of truth, however distort. SILLIS.

SIMMONS, SYMONS, SIMONES, or SYMONDSON, JOHN, Rowley 1671, Haverhill 1678, then said to be 38 yrs. old, may have intermed. been at Dover a few yrs. unless, as seems more prob. this were an older man, and one sent by capt. Mason very early to his patent at Piscataqua, wh. liv. at Dover, and was a juryman 1673. JOHN, Taunton 1679, had w. Martha, eldest s. John, eldest d. Mary. MICHAEL, Dover 1665, tax. there next yr.

[[101]] SIMPKINS, NICHOLAS, Boston, a tailor, made the first capt. at the castle, one of his sucees. Rodger Clap says, a. 1634, seems in 1636 to have giv. dissatisfact. by being indebt. to the governm. and rem. 1638. to Yarmouth, aft. some yrs. came again to B. bef. 1649, and was of ar. co. 1650. beside Deborah, wh. m.

THOMAS, Salisbury, had Mary, b. 2 June 1664. SINCLAIR, ST. CLAIR, or SINKLER, JAMES and JOHN, Exeter, 1677, [[102]] took o. of alleg. 30 Nov. of that yr. but as John, whose w. was Mary, had been there 16 yrs. at least, the other may be his s.

He was a selectman in 1650, tax. decently for the supp. of min. yet gone in 1652 to Haverhill, there, by w. Susanna Cooke, says Barry, had Benjamin, k. 4 Apr. 1656. Coffin says, he had John, that is perhaps the same as Jonathan. Eunice m. at Andover, 6 Jan. 1659, Thomas Eaton. His w. d. 11 Apr. 1682, and he d. 25 Oct. 1687, in the 102d yr. if the repts. may be accept.

His eldest d. Elizabeth m. Jeremiah Clark. JAMES, Dartmouth, 1684, was, perhaps, br. of the preced. SIVERNS, JOHN, Lynn, had John, b. 22 Mar. 1684. Perhaps this may be Severance of Salisbury. SKATE, JOHN, Weymouth, 1658, is nam. by Farmer; but I find no such name, unless it mean him wh. at Boston had, by w. Sarah, John, and John, again, b. 25 Apr. 1660. See SCATE. It may be the same person as the foll. SKEATH, JOHN, Boston 1674 liv. long, as from his will of May 1700, pro. 22 Jan. 1708, is clearly discern. It gives to w. Sarah, ds. Sarah Bradshaw, Rebecca Allen, Mary, and Joanna S. beside gr.ch. Joseph, and Hannah, and makes w. and d. Mary excors. See Scathe. SKEEL, JOHN, Boston, Stratford, m. Hannah, d. of Roger Terrill of the same, had John, and Hannah, bapt. 10 Nov. 1678, of wh. John d. soon; John, again, Nov. 1679; Thomas, 23 Apr. 1682; Elizabeth 20 Apr. 1683; Abigail, 9 May 1686; and Ephraim, July 1689; had rem. to Woodbury 1682; perhaps even bef. any of these ch. Hannah m. 3 Mar. 1697, Benjamin Hicock. SKEETH, WILLIAM, of Charlestown, or Woburn, d. a. 1672, for his inv. was then ret. in Middlesex by Lawrence Dowese and Josiah Convers, wh. were of those two towns. SKELLING, THOMAS, Salem 1643, had then, says Felt, a gr. of ld. But. prob. that was inadeq. inducem. to leave Gloucester where he had liv. some yrs. and by w. Deborah had Deborah, b. 22 Aug. 1640, or 1648, rem. perhaps, to Falmouth 1651, and own. est. in Maine; but was soon back, yet d. at F. 1667; in his will, of 14 Nov. 1666, nam. s. Thomas and John. See Skilling. THOMAS, Falmouth, eldest s. of the preced. says Babson, m. 1654, Mary Lewis, d. of George of the same, had John, and Benjamin, and d. at Salem, 30 Dec. His wid. m. Jotham Lewis; and next a. Wilkins, says Mr. Willis, and in 1732 was of Salem 78 yrs old. SKELTON, BENJAMIN, Salem, nam. 1639, when his s. John was bapt. and NATHANIEL, Salem 1648, when his s. John was bapt. are in the list of sett. but not ch. mem. Strange as it seems, no more is told of either; and to larger or less credulity must be left the opin. whether one or both were ch. of Rev. Samuel. SAMUEL, Salem, came from Co. Lincoln, in 1629, arr. with w. and ch. three or four, in the George, 29 June, in co. with Samuel Sharpe, hav. sail. 4 May from Isle of Wight. He was b. 1584, bred at Clare Hall, Cambr. Univ. where he had his degr. 1611 and 1614; nam. by the Gov. and Comp. at London to be of the Counc. to Capt. Endicot, wh. they appoint. Gov. of the Planta. as they heard that E. had "formerly receiv. much good by his ministry;" [[104]] but prob. he never was sw. for the arrest of his assoc. the Browns, bef. com. of the commiss. would prevent organiz. or action. But in the pulpit his right as pastor, as well as that of Higginson, for teacher, was fix. 6 Aug. 1629. Desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, he was rec. 18 May foll. His w. d. 15 Mar. 1631, and prob. he took ano. w. if the ord. of Court, June 1638, with the consent of Mrs. Baggerly," that the incr. of his "cattle shd. b. div. acc. to Mr. Skelton's will; and that the goods and household stuff wh. belong to the three eldest ch. shd. be div. by some of the ch." be constr. to mean, that he left a younger ch. and we might infer, that his. wid. had tak. new h. Mr. Baggerly. But no such name is found in Felt's list of ch. memb. of Salem, nor indeed does any Skelton appear there, but the pastor. He rec. in July 1632 gr. of four lots of ld. of various quantity; from the Col. besides what the town may have gr. if any, tho. no such benefact. to either him or Higginson, or any ch. of either is ment. He d. 2 Aug. 1634, and much do we regret the loss of his will, that perhaps would have nam. the childr. In his Ann. II. 568, Mr. Felt explains the denial to Gov. Winthrop, Isaac Johnson, and compan. of libert. to unite in the Lord's Supper, or to have a ch. bapt. for wh. Cotton, then at home express. his surpr. and regr. No wonder the Browns were driv. away, when these later comers could not by Mr. Skelton be adm. to his communion as "not memb. of reformed chhs." The great master of us all would gladly have rec. these men; but the rigid separatists had sterner sense of duty. So extreme was their repugn. to the formulary, wh. they had onced used in their weekly worsh. that they would not longer believe, in the communion of saints. SAMUEL, Salem, s. prob. of the preced. b. in Eng. sold ld. in S. Feb. 1644, to lieut. Richard Davenport. SKERRY, EPHRAIM, Salem, s. of the first Henry, m. Sept. 1671, Martha Mellard (if Essex Inst. III. 144 has correct spell.) had Hannah, b. 11 July foll.; Martha, 13 July 1674; and he d. 11 Oct. 1676. FRANCIS, Salem 1637 freem. 17 May of that yr.; was, it is said, aged near 84 at his d. 1692. His wid. d. 10 Aug. of the same yr. HENRY, Salem, perhaps br. of the preced. came from. Yarmouth, in Norfk. Apr. 1637, cordwainer, aged 31, with w. Elizabeth one ch. Henry, and one apparent. Edmund Towne, aged 18. See 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. 97, or Geneal. Reg. XIV. 325. He was a freem. Mar. 1638; had Elizabeth bapt. that mo.; Mary, Sept. 1640; Ephraim, 26 Mar. 1643; and John, 3 June 1649; he car. a prisoner, 1649, to Boston, prob. as a constable, and was liv. 1696, then call. 89 yrs. old, d. 12 Apr. 1697; and in Felt's ch. list of 1645 is Bridget, wh. may have been w. of him or Francis. HENRY, Salem, s. of the preced. m. 9 Nov. 1665, Priscilla, d. of the first Henry Lunt, had Francis, b. 25 Nov. 1666; Ann, 14 June 1669; Priscilla, 13 July 1671; was freem. 1677; d. 30 Aug. 1691; and his wid. Elizabeth d. 6 Mar. 1693. SKIDMORE, or SKIDMER, JAMES, Boston 1636, appears as agent for John Winthrop of Conn. JOHN, perhaps of Cambridge, was fin. 1641, for sale of strong water to Ind. THOMAS, Cambridge 1642, had, in 1636, been engag. for John, Winthrop in his prepar. for plant. at Saybrook; by w. Ellen had John, b. 11 Apr. 1643; and Joseph; may have been at Lancaster at its early sett. 1653, but certain. bef. and aft. that [[105]] date at New London, and prob. 1672 at Huntington, L. I. He had also, Dorothy, wh. m. 20 July 1652, Hugh Griffin. On 19 June 1667 he sign. contr. with Joanna, wid. of Nathaniel Baldwin, wh. had been wid. of Richard Westcoat, by wh. she should have power to devise her prop. to John, Daniel, Joanna, and Abigail, her ch. by said Richard W. and to Sarah, Deborah, and Samuel, her ch. by said Nathaniel B. she intend. to m. said Thomas S. SKIFF, BENJAMIN, Chilmark 1676, m. 20 Feb. 1680, Hannah, whose surname may have been Merry. Of him I hear no more, but that in 1704 he and others were employ. by Gov. Dudley in an import. trust. JAMES, Sandwich 1643-63, had come from Lynn a. 1637, was rep. 1645 and 13 yrs. more, had Bathshua, b. 21 Apr. 1648, wh. m. perhaps in 1666, Shearjashub Bourne; Mary, 24 Mar. 1650; perhaps that Patience wh. m. 26 Oct. 1675, Elisha Bourne. He took sec. w. 18 Nov. 1659, Elizabeth Nabor. JAMES, Nantucket, prob. s. of the preced. m. Sarah, d. of Robert Barnard, had Nathaniel, Patience, Mary, Hannah, Beulah, and Sarah. He rem. to Tisbury. NATHAN, Tisbury, br. of the preced. m. Hepzibah Codman, perhaps d. of Robert, had James, b. 10 Mar. 1689; Benjamin, 29 Apr. 1691; Stephen, 26 May 1693; Mary, 20 May 1695; beside Elizabeth of uncert. date. His sec. w. m. Feb. 1698, Mary Chipman, d. of John, had Sarah; Mary, 5 July 1701; Samuel, 24 Dec. 1703; John, 22 Aug. 1705; and Joseph, 18 Nov. 1707; and d. 19 July 1726, aged 70. STEPHEN, Sandwich 1667, was rep. 1676 and serv. yrs. aft. See Baylies. An Elizabeth Skaffe, the Col. Rec. says, was bur. at Rehoboth, 25 June 1676. I suppose it means Skiff. SKILLING, SKILLIN, or SKILLINGS, JOHN, Falmouth 1651 may have been s. of Thomas. His wid. rem. 1688, to Portsmouth. THOMAS, Salem 1643, may have belong. rather to Gloucester, where he was in 1642, there, perhaps, had Thomas, b. Nov. 1643; and Abigail, wh. m. 18 Nov. 1670, John Curney, Carney, or Gurny. Perhaps both f. and s. were of Falmouth in 1665. SKILLINGER, or STILLINGER, JACOB, a Dutchman, at New London 1661, had been at New Haven, was liv. 1666, and had a w. SKINNER, ABRAHAM, Malden, s. of the first Thomas, by w. Hannah had Abraham, b. 8 Apr. 1681; Thomas, 7 Dec. 1688; and Mary, Sept. 1690. His wid. d. 14 Jan. 1726. EDWARD, Cambridge, d. early, perhaps in 1639, perhaps in 1641, as the articles in Geneal. Reg. II. 103, and III. 81, seem discord. By his will he gave half of his est. to the ch. of C. and half to Mr. Robert Ibbit of Cambridge, in Old Eng. but calls no w. ch. or other relat. so that we may infer that he was bach. if not also, that he came from Co. Cambridge. FRANCIS, was command. of the fort at Pemaquid, May 1683, as in Geneal. Reg. XI. 33. JOHN, Hartford 1639, had w. Mary, d. of Joseph Loomis, wh. m. 13 Nov. 1651, Owen Tudor, prob. by her had John, wh. is among freem. of 1669. JOHN, Hartford, s.of the preced. had Mary, 1 Dec. 1664; John, 1 Mar. 1667; Joseph, 26 Aug. 1669; Nathaniel, 5 Apr. 1672; Richard, 16 Jan. 1674; Sarah, 4 Nov. 1677; and Thomas, 15 Nov. 1680. JOSEPH, Windsor, m. 5 Apr. 1666, Mary, d. of William Filley of the same, had Mary, b. 22 Sept. 1667; and Elizabeth 23 Jan. 1669; was freem. 1669, and next yr. of Simsbury. RICHARD, perhaps of Hartford 1648, may have been f. or br. of John and Joseph. Perhaps his was that wid. Mary S. wh. m. 13 Nov. 1651, Owen Tudor. THOMAS, Malden, came from Chichester, in Co. Sussex, where by w. Mary, were b. his s. Thomas, 25 July 1645; and Abraham, 29 Sept. 1649; and soon aft. prob. for first time, he arr. here. His w. Mary d. 9 Apr. 1671. THOMAS, Boston, baker, bot. est. 1673, near the Exchange, was freem. 1690. THOMAS, Malden, s. of the first Thomas, b. in Eng. by w. Mary, d. of Richard Pratt of the same, had Thomas, b. Nov. 1668; and he m. 22 Dec. 1669, Mary, d. [[106]] of Thomas Gould, had John, Apr. 1673; Richard, 3 Jan. 1676; beside Nathaniel, 27 Mar. 1686, I presume, for the transcrib. from the rec. of b. in Geneal. Reg. VI. 336, has Jan. and here, prob. as in most of the dates, has mistak. the meanings of the numeral for the month; and Abigail, 17 Feb. 1691, was freem. 1690, and d. 2 Mar. 1704. WALTER, Salem 1680. Of this name, Farmer says, there had been gr. in 1829, five at Yale, three at Harv. and six at other N. E. CoIl. SKIPPER, or SKEPPAR, THEOPHILUS, Lynn, a minor, hav. demand of £51. against Benjamin Keayne, payab. on his com. of age, and Rev. John Cotton and Rev. Thomas Cobbett, his guardians in 1646, interfer. for his security. A Jane S. of Boston, spinster, in Jan. 1652, obt. secur. for £50. from Valentine Hill of Dover in comp. with Rev. Thomas Cobbett and Joshua Scottow, so that I infer a relat. betw. this maiden and Theophilus, prob. br. and sis. She m. 19 Aug. 1653, Abraham Brown. Perhaps Catharine of L. was ano. sis. SKOULING, ROBERT, Hingham, came 1638, from old Hingham, with Thomas Cooper, and his fam. perhaps as serv. in the Diligent, but certain. he had no gr. of ld. there, nor is his name ever found again. SKULLARD. See Scullard. SLACK, WILLIAM, Weymouth, by w. Mary had Thomas, b. 5 July 1690. SLADE, WILLIAM, New Port adm. freem. 1659. See R. I. Hist. Coll. III. 251.

SLAUGHTER, JOHN, Simsbury, propound. for freem. 1674, had m. 15 July 1669, Abiah, wid. of Elisha Bartlett. SLAWSON, ELEAZER, Stamford, s. of George, had a fam. but the names are unkn. GEORGE, Lynn 1637, rem. to Sandwich, yet is not found among men able to bear arms in 1643; prob. went to Stamford bef. 1644, where were, 1669, propound. for freem. he with s. Eleazer, and John. He had a d. wh. m. John Gould, and these three ch. seem to be all he had when his will was made. He d. 17 Feb. 1695. JOHN, Stamford, s. of the preced. m. 12 Nov. 1663, Sarah, d. of William Tuttle of New Haven, had John, b. 1664; Sarah, 1667; and Jonathan, 1670. His w. was k. 17 Nov. 1676, with an axe, by her br.

JOSIAH, Marshfield, possib. but not prob. s. of George, m. 12 Mar. 1679, Mary Williamson. THOMAS, Stamford, had gr. of houselot in 1641, but did not contin. there to enjoy it.

He liv. most of his days in Boston, prob. to practise better his trade of cardmaker, and by twelve sev. deeds to or from him of ld. in B. I have tracked him down to Jan. 1667.

Inscript. at T. on gr. st. are seen of Elizabeth "aged 40, d. 31 Jan. 1687;" and of Damaris "aged 21, d. 29 Oct. 1689."

GEORGE, Salem 1635, had then gr. of ld. of wh. or other he contin. propr. perhaps was of Ipswich 1648, and soon back to S. bef. 1663. GEORGE, New Haven 1639-47, was not on the list of freem. there 22 yrs. aft. At N. H. by w.

Sarah m. 1661, John Clark; Hannah m. 1663, Stephen Bradley of Guilford; Mercy m. 1669, John Benham; and Elizabeth m. 13 Nov. 1669, John Hall of Guilford. Yet some uncert. attends the filiation of sev. of these ch. bec. ano. Sarah, w. of Nehemiah, was engag. in the same pious work of bring. ch. to bapt. in the same yr. nearly. GEORGE, Dover 1645, came, perhaps, from the city of Salisbury, a tailor, in the James, from Southampton, Apr. arr. June 1635, unless this array of circumstance pertain rather to the Salem man, for a fam. tradit. says, this man came from Plymouth, in Devon of Boston, when there were only a few huts, and not one cellar dug;" was town clk. in 1646 had commiss. from Mass. and at the head of the tax list 1648; had Joseph, b. 1640; and, as Mr. [[114]] Quint thinks, John, and James. His wid. he says, m. Monday, perhaps Henry of Salisbury, and next Mason. GILES, Hartford 1639, had Joanna, bapt. there 25 Mar. 1649; was of the earliest sett. at New London, but his gr. of 1648 was soon sold or forfeit. by non. resid. and he was of Fairfield 1651, there d. 1669. He left sec. w. Eunice, not mo. of his ch. wh. had been wid. of Jonathan Porter of Huntington, L. I.; three s. Samuel, Eleazer, and John; three ds. Elian, if that be a possib. name; Elizabeth Jackson; and Joanna Gray, nam. in his will of 10 Sept. 1669. HENRY, Dorchester, came in the fleet with Winthrop perhaps req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was rec. 18 May foll. may be thot. the gent. wh. with Ludlow, Pynchon, and others, was commis. in Mar. 1636 by Mass. to govern the first sett. on Conn. and act. at Hartford lG38. See Mass. Col. Rec. I. 170, with Conn. Col. Rec. I. 17; but whether he was or not, the Rev. HENRY, first min. of Wethersfield, I cannot confidently decide. On the whole, I conclude, since Mather puts the Wethersfield min. into his first classis (as of those, in the actual exercise of their min. bef. they left Eng.), that this man was only in civ. life, for he is not dignif. with the prefix Mr. and would never seem to be looked on as cleric. in Mass., and prob. the min. of Wethersfield came not for five, or even six, yrs. more. See Winth's. letter of June 1636 to his s. John, Gov. of the new planta. in Hist. I. Appx. A. 60 of the Ed. 1853. He, in 1636, rem. to Springfield with Pynchon; was s. by a former h. of that wid. Sanford wh. had m. Pynchon, and this s. had m. his P's. d. Ann, I suppose bef. the m. of his mo. with the f. of his w. possib. bef. they, any of them, came from Eng. to confound tbe two, if there were not three (wh. seems improb.) Henry Smiths. I design always to put the names in the order of their com. to our country, so that Rev. Henry, tho. older, must follow the Springfield man. Felt has, in his Eccles. Hist. of N. E. 253, made the min. wh. was receiv. of the ch. of Charlestown in midsum. of 1637, one of the commission to govern the Conn. planta. in 1636, with Ludlow, Steele, Pynchon and others, when we may feel sure, that it was Pynchon's s. in law wh. had that honor; as also, that the Wethersfield min. was at the date of 1636 in his native land, had Ann, and Mary, wh. were b. bef. his rem. the latter, bur. at S. 15 Nov. 1641; Martha, b. 31 July 1641; Mary, again, 7, bapt. 12 Mar. 1643; Elizabeth 22, bapt. 27 Oct. 1644; Margaret, 26 Apr. 1646, d. at two yrs.; Sarah, 6 Oct. 1647, a. soon; Margaret, again, 1 Nov. 1648; Rebecca, 1 Apr. 1650; Samuel, 23 June 1651, d. next yr.; and Abigail, 10 Feb. 1653; was rep. 1651, and, with his min. Rev. George Moxon, prob. in disgust at the proceed. against his f.-in-law, went home 1653. Prob. most of the ch. went with the f. but Mary perhaps contin. here with her uncle Pynchon, and m. 15 Apr. 1665, Richard Lord of Hartford; [[115]] and Ann, wh. we may be sure, was the first b. m. 9 Nov. 1651, John Allyn of Hartford, the famous Secr. Other ch. he may have had, either bef. or aft. leav. S. but where Farmer found his Elisha, is hard to guess. He seems to be as well entit. as the Watertown Henry, to be thot. the freem. of 18 May 1631, prob. better. Since reach. the conclus. that my Dorchester Henry is the same as he, wh. Farmer in MS. had thot. of Watertown, and by his two lines drove me to many wks. research, I have the gratification of ascertain. from Dr. Bond's untir. investigat. that at Watertown was no Henry Smith at all. HENRY, Charlestown, join. the ch. with w. Dorothy, 10 July 1637, prok. rem. soon. He may have been passeng. in the Elizabeth, 1635, without wishing his name to appear at the custom ho. as no min. could be suf. to emb. at least we kn. that ship brot. Dorothy, aged 40; d. Mary 10, and John, 19; most likely he was the Wethersfield min. Very critical caution, however, is requisite, about the concomitants of the rev. gent. whose will, of 8 May 1648, refers, without nam. them, to two ds. m. Of course they were b. in Eng. It also names s. Peregrine, wh. may not have been b. on this side of the water, certain. was older than Samuel, but whether s. of the w. Dorothy, or not, is uncert. Of that Dorothy, the w. we may be very sure, that she was his sec. w. not mo. of Mary, or John, fellow passeng. with her. For the elder ds. we are not sure of the h.'s, unless of Rebecca. we judge her w. of Samuel Smith of New London. See Caulkin's Hist. of N. L. 151. She was divorc. for his desertion, and m. 1669, Nathaniel Bowman. At least the age of this w. at Charlestown, if she be the passeng. in the Elizabeth, is very much overrat. perhaps fifteen yrs. if not more; for bef. his rem. to W. he had Dorothy, b. 1636, or 7; and at W. had Samuel, 27 Jan. 1639; Joanna, 25 Dec. 1641; Noah, 25 Feb. 1644, d. young; and Elizabeth perhaps posthum. 25 Aug. 1648. The min. of W. had a long controv. with a part of his people, whereby the peace of that whole commonwealth was disturb. See Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 97 and 98. It seems only to have terminat. by his d. 1648. In his will, Ib. 502, he speaks of his large fam. ment. only s. Samuel, Perigrine, wh. was d. Noah and two ds. m. with every one of their childr. as a part. His wid. m. John Russell in 1649, and ten yrs. aft. rem. to Hadley; there made her will, 1682, but it was not pro. bef. 22 Dec. 1694, so that we may presume her life was long protract. It disposes a decent est. to her s. Samuel, and d. Dorothy Hall, wh. had first been w. of John Blakeman, next of Francis Hall; and late in life was so happy as to have ano. h. Mark Sension, and fourth partner Isaac Moore. Joanna m. Philip Russell, 4 Feb. 1664, but with inf. Joanna d. 29 Dec. foll. Both of the m. ds. of Rev. Henry were, no doubt, d. long bef. the will of his sec. w. It is very easy to fall into confus. betw. contempo. persons of the same Christian [[116]] and surnames. Aft. many hours, and days, study, I had the satisfact. of learn. that my conclus. as to the first Wethersfield min. concur. with those of the scrupulous Mr. Goodwin of Hartford bef. his d. in June 1855, so far as his had been writ. out.

JOHN, Plymouth, usually call. jr. able to bear arms 1643, was not, perhaps, s. of the first John of the same, m. 4 Jan. 1649, Deborah, d. of Arthur Howland of Marshfield, had Hasadiah, b. 11 Jan. 165O; John, 1 Oct. 1651; Josiah, 16 Apr. 1652; Eleazer, 20 Apr. 1654; and Hezekiah, 8 Feb. 1656. JOHN, Eastham, call. sen. had w. Lydia, wh. d. 21 July 1672, and he m. 15 Nov. foll. Jael Packer, or Packard, d. of Samuel the first, of Bridgewater. JOHN, Hingham, freem. 1647, as to me seems more prob. tho. Farmer decid. for 1654, m. May 1645, Sarah, d. of Ralph Woodward of the same, had, perhaps, sev. ch. besides John, b. 19 Sept. 1653, was lieut. 1661, rep. lG83 and aft. till chos. Assist. 1686, in wh. he contin. to serve until the new Chart. and d. May 1695. JOHN, Providence, call. for distinct. Jamaica John, perhaps bec. he came from there, was d. bef. 20 May 1685, when his s. John executes a deed, in wh. he styles hims. s. and heir. JOHN, Taunton, had Elizabeth b. 7 Sept. 1663; Henry, 27 May 1666; perhaps others. JOHN, Salem 1609, was a tailor; and Felt names ano. John, Salem 1660, a malster, who had w. Ann. Ano. JOHN, of Salem, was a mason in 1671. One of these Salem Johns, at the ord. of Rev. John Higginson, in 1660, rais. a disturb. Perhaps his w. Margaret and her ch. were then in prison at Boston, as quakers. See Hutch. I. 203. In his will of 20 Jan. 1679, it is seen, that he had two s. viz. George and Exercise, ds. Tamosin and Margaret, that his w. was sis. of Joshua Buffum, to wh. was giv. the s. Exercise, as was George to ano. of that peacef. sect. JOHN, Dorchester, had James, and Mary, wh. were adult when they were bapt. in right of their mo. 10 June 1683, she then being w. of Ellis Wood as the ch. rec. tells. But very curious rec. of bapt. is found few mos. preced. as follows: "The childr. of Miriam, the w. of Ellis Smith, were bapt. 19 Nov. 1682, viz. Ann, Miriam, Sarah, and David." Who was f. of these ch. is on the face of the rec. doubtful. No such man as Ellis Smith can be heard of, and easy eno. might the scribe mistake this name tor Wood, if we may assume that the w. of Wood was bring. up to the font offspring of her former h. John Smith, wh. d. 1682. JOHN, New London 1658, call. "nailor Smith" had come from Boston (where he liv. in 1653), with w. Joanna, and only ch. Elizabeth made collector of the imposts, 1659, freem. [[122]] 1666; was deac. and d. 4 Oct. 1670. His wid. d. 1687, aged a. 73; and Elizabeth m. a Way of Lyme. Caulkins, 323. JOHN, Dedham 1661, may be the h. of a d. of Philip Eliot of Roxbury, nam. in his will. JOHN, Watertown, s. of the first Thomas of the same, m. 1 Apr. 1665, Mary, d. of Anthony Beers, had Mary, b. 15 June 1667; John, 8 Aug. 1668; Abigail, 29 June 1670; Hannah, 27 Dec. 1672; Sarah, 7 June 1675; and perhaps, but not prob. Samuel, whose day of b. as giv. by Bond, 10 Mar. 1700, excites suspic. of error. JOHN, Eastham, m. 24 May 1667, Hannah Williams, had Elizabeth b. 24 Feb. 1669; Sarah, 27 Mar. 1672; perhaps Mercy, 17 Sept. 1676; and Ebenezer, 16 Jan. 1680; yet some uncertainty arises as to the names and births of some. Ano. JOHN, Eastham, m. 30 Nov. 1668, Mary Eldridge, perhaps d. of Robert of the same, had John, b. 18 Oct. 1669; Jeremiah, 27 Dec. 1670; William, 2 Aug. 1672; a d. 10 Feb. 1675; Mary, 30 Nov. 1676, d. soon; Mary, again, 15 Jan. 1678; Beriah, 21 Mar. 1680; Bethia, 16 Jan. 1682; and Mehitable, 1 May 1691; but some confus. is appar. in the assignm. of the ch. to these two Johns in Geneal. Reg. VII. 279. JOHN, Boston, mason, in his will of 27 Oct. 1678, pro. 8 Nov. foll. aft. giv. £4. ea. to his f. and mo. and relinq. half of their debts to his serv. Mungo Craford, and John Wilson, names his two ch. Jeremiah, wh. should have 2/3 of his est. and Joseph 1/3, as ea. reach. 21 yrs. JOHN, Hampton, a tailor, and JOHN, Hampton, a cooper, ea. took o. of alleg. 1678, of wh. one may have been f. and one s. but it is not very prob. and I am ign. of the priority; only the cooper, it is said, by w. Huldah had Abigail, b. 24 Feb. 1688. One of them was s. of JOHN, late of the Vineyard, but I find in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 52, no mark of time, to inform what late refers to. JOHN, Providence, call. junr. in May 1671, when he engag. alleg. JOHN, Newbury, perhaps s. of Thomas of the same, freem. 1671, m. 26 Nov. 1667, Rebecca, d. of the first Samuel of the same, had John, b. 14 Sept. 1668, d. in a mo. Rebecca, 1 Aug. 1669; John, again, 20 Oct. 1671, d. young; Mary, 20 Dec. 1673; John, again, 17 Mar. 1678; Samuel, 31 Jan. 1680, d. young; Josiah, 28 Mar. 1687; Hannah, 27 Jan. 1690; and Dorothy, 20 Aug. 1692. JOHN, Hadley, s. of lieut. Samuel of the same, m. 12 Nov. 1663, Mary, d. of William Partridge, had John, b. 15 May 1665, perhaps freem. of 1690; Samuel, 7 Dec. 1667, wh. was k. by lightning in his 14th yr.; Joseph, 1670; Benjamin, 1673; and Mary, early in 1677, posthum. for her f. was k. by the Ind. 30 May 1676. See Capt. Newbury's despatches in Conn. Rec. II. 450. His s. Joseph was ancest. of the late Oliver S. wh. had gain. the largest est. of any person in all the neighb. of Hatfield, and by his will design. to favor that and the adjoin. towns. JOHN, Fairfield, s. of Giles of the same, of wh. no more [[123]] is kn. but only that he d. 1690. JOHN, Boston, bricklayer, m. 1671, Sarah, the young wid. of John Wilmot. JOHN, Taunton, call. jun. may have had Deborah, b. 7 Mar. 1676; Hannah, 22 Mar. 1678; and John, 6 Dec. 1680. But, in so common a name, sen. and jun. are very inadeq. to express distinct. betw. two hav. the same bapt. name, when the order of time may be uncert. JOHN, Milford, s. of the first John of the same, m. a. 1669, Phebe Campfield, perhaps d. of Matthew, or Thomas. JOHN, Charlestown 1674, a mason, householder in 1678, was perhaps he, wh. m. at Woburn, 7 May 1674, Abigail, d. of Rev. Thomas Carter; but no ch. appear in bapt. at C. and perhaps they were carr. to W. for bapt. by the gr.f. JOHN, York, call. jr. when he sw. alleg. 1681, wh. may lead us to presume that an elder John liv. there, tho. he may have been s. of the John of Saco, one of the chief men. JOHN, Dover 1675, perhaps s. of George of the same, rem. to Little Compton, there m. says tradit. and had two ds. JOHN, Newport, by w. Susanna had Rebecca, b. 14 Oct. 1678. JOHN, Hingham, prob. s. of John of the same, freem. 1679, then call. jun. JOHN, Dartmouth 1686. JOHN, Hadley, sec. s. of Philip the first of the same, m. 29 Nov. 1683, Joanna, d. of Joseph Kellogg, had John, b. 3 Dec. 1684; Joanna, 7 Sept. 1686; Rebecca, 5 Aug. 1688; Joseph, 19 July 1690; Martin, 15 Apr. 1692; Eleazer, 25 Sept. 1694; Sarah, 18 Nov. 1696, d. next yr.; Sarah, again, 9 Nov. 1698; Prudence, 15 Mar. 1701; Experience, 19 Apr. 1703; Elizabeth 12 Oct. 1705; and Mindwell, 25 May 1708; and he d. 16 Apr. 1727. JOHN, York, call. junr. on sw. alleg. 1680, to the k. JOHN, Cambridge vil. or Newton, a tanner, by w. Sarah, prob. d. of Henry Prentice of the same, m. 8 June 1676, had Sarah, b. 31 Mar. foll. d. next mo.; John, 2 Mar. 1678; Sarah, again, 17 Aug. 1681; Thankful; Rachel, 19 Dec. 1685; and Joseph, 9 Aug. 1687; and by sec. w. Susanna had Jerusha, b. 8 May 1695; Margaret, 29 July 1698; Daniel, 16 Aug. 1700; Esther, 20 July 1703; Ephraim, 5 Oct. 1704; Josiah, 27 May 1707; and Silas, wh. was drown. 1729. See Jackson's Newton. JOHN, New Haven, s. of George, was a propr. 1685. JOHN, Charlestown, s. of Thomas, the butcher, was a mariner, d. at Jamaica, 22 July 1688. One JOHN, at Dartmouth, took o. of fidel. in 1684. JOHN, Gloucester, by w. Abigail had Miriam, b. 20 Aug. 1689, and prob. more ch. by ano. w. See Babson, 159. JOHN, Salem, m. 29 July 1689, Patience. youngest d. of Samuel Shattuck of the same. JOHN, Eastham, youngest s. of Samuel first of the same, m. 14 May 1694, Bethia, d. of Stephen Snow, had James, b. 13 Feb. 1695, d. next yr.; and Samuel, 25 May 1696. Ano. JOHN, of Eastham, I think was s. of John the third of the same, and by w. Sarah he had Hannah, b. 18 Mar. 1696; Joseph, 28 Dec. 1697; Sarah, 6 Nov. 1699; William, 6 Sept. 1702; Lydia, 24 Apr. 1704; [[124]] Seth, 28 Jan. 1706; Elizabeth Mar. 1708; Rebecca, Mar. 1710; and John, 13 Mar. 1713. After assid. attent. I am unable to give distinct. to any more Johns, tho. beyond doubt there were sev. wh. would be embrac. by my plan; yet the ingenuity of any single antiquary would be oft. at fault, even if his patience were not exhaust. in pursuit of the local habitat. of all. In Boston alone were four tax payers of the name in 1695. JONATHAN, Wethersfield, s. of Richard the first of the same, made freem. 1657, m. 1 Jan. 1664, Martha, d. of Francis Bushnell, prob. had sev. ch. bef. rem. to Middletown, where he had Gershom, b. Nov. 1679; and Deborah, 23 Sept. 1682; went back to W. where, tho. he sold part of his est. he held other lds. on the E. side of the gr. riv. and join. with his neighb. in obtain. incorpo. of Glastenbury, liv. 1698. JONATHAN, Exeter, took the o. of alleg. 30 Nov. 1677. JONTHAN, Farmington 1678, eldest s. of William of Wethersfield, m. Mary, d. of Joseph Bird, had Elizabeth Samuel, Jonathan, Mary, Mehitable, wh. was bapt. 11 Oct. 1691; Sarah, 24 Dec. 1693; Abigail, 29 Dec. 1695; William, perhaps 30 June 1700; and Eleazer, perhaps 20 Sept. 1702. But whether all were by first w. is unkn. as are dates of b. of four earliest ch. he had sec. w. Rachel, d. of Samuel Steele; and third w. Sarah, he took in 1714, and d. 5 Apr. 1721; and his wid. m. Thomas Bird.

JONATHN, Hatfield, s. of Philip the first, m. 14 Nov. 1688, Abigail, d. of Joseph Kellogg, had Jonathan, b. 10 Aug. 1689; Daniel, 3 Mar. 1692; Abigail, 20 Apr. 1695; Stephen, 5 Dec. 1697; Prudence, 16 May 1700; Moses, 8 Sept. 1702; Elisha, 10 July 1705; Elizabeth 8 May 1708; Ephraim, 24 Mar. 1711; and Aaron, 7 Feb. 1715; and d. a. 1737. Ano. JONATHAN at Wethersfield 1690, was s. of Joseph of the same. JOSEPH, Wethersfield, freem. 1657, had been of Middletown, but m. Lydia, d. of Thomas Wright, of W. and had Lydia, b. 1654; Joseph, Mar. 1660; Jonathan; and Samuel, Aug. 1663; and d. 1673 or 4 leav. wid. wh. m. William Harris of M. JOSEPH, Hartford, br. of Christopher of Northampton, m. 10 or 20 Apr. 1656, Lydia, d. of Rev. Ephraim Huitt, had Joseph, b.

Benjamin then was in London. He was freem. 1667, and made his will 13 June 1689, and d. Jan. foll. His wid. liv. 21 yrs. aft. Of the ds. we kn. that Mary was unm. in 1715; that Lydia m.

JOSEPH, Hampton, took the o. of alleg. in Apr. and, perhaps, again in Dec. 1678, had m. Dorothy, eldest d. of Rev. Seaborn Cotton, wh. d. 20 Dec. 1706, was in 1683 petitnr. to the K. against his Gov. Cranfield, rep. 1688, maj. or col. in the milit. and of the Counc. 1698, d. 9 or 24 Nov. 1717, aged 64. JOSEPH, New Haven, s. of George of the same, m. 1680, Lydia, d. of Henry Bristol, had Joseph, b. 1681; Lydia, 1683; Hannah, 1686; Esther, 1689; Daniel, 1693; and d. 1697, leav. w. and her five ch. JOSEPH, Farmington, s. of William, by first w. Lydia had Joseph, b. a. 1681; Lydia; both bapt. prob. 17 Aug. 1684, tho. the rec. as giv. in Geneal. Reg.

JOSEPH, Hartford, eldest s. of Joseph of the same, rem. a. 1680, to Hadley, freem. 1690, m. 11 Feb. 1681, Rebecca, d. of John Dickinson, first of the same, had Joseph, b. 3 Nov. 1682; John, 24 Oct. 1684, d. young; John, again, 5 June 1686, d. soon; Rebecca, 11 June 1689; Jonathan, 28 Oct. 1691; Lydia, 15 Sept. 1693; Benjamin, 22 Jan. 1696; and Elizabeth 22 Dec. 1701; and his w. d. 16 Feb. 1731; and he d. 1733. JOSEPH, New Haven, a propr. 1685. JOSEPH, Dartmouth 1686. JOSEPH, Wethersfield, s. of Joseph of the same, d. 1687, leav. only Joseph, 9 mos. old. JOSEPH, Haddam, perhaps s. of Simon of the same, a merch. d. at Barbados, 1694, gave his prop. to mo. brs. and sis. yet nam. only br. John. JOSEPH, Barnstable, m. 29 Apr. 1689, Ann Fuller, [[126]] perhaps d. of Mathew, had Susanna, b. 12 Jan. 1690; Joseph, 28 Oct. 1691; James, 18 Dec. 1693; Ann, 8 Nov. 1695; Matthew, 10 July 1697; Ebenezer, 21 Mar. 1699, d. at 2 mos.; Daniel, 11 Apr. 1700; David, 21 May 1702; Elizabeth 19 Apr. 1704; Thomas, 6 Feb. 1706; Mary, 22 Dec. 1707, d. near 21 yrs.; Jemima, 9 Nov. 1709; Benjamin, 5 Dec. 1711; Ebenezer, again, 26 Sept. 1714; and his w. d. 2 July 1722. JOSEPH, Middletown, had taught a sch. at Hadley, and Springfield, m. 15 Sept. 1698, Esther, d. of Joseph Parsons, had Martha, b. 17 Sept. 1699; Joseph, 1704; and Mary, 1709. He went in 1708 to N. J. and was ord. as a Presbyt. min. but left in a. 2 yrs. preach. short time at Brookfield, and was instal. over the new, sec. ch. at M. 15 Jan. 1715, d. 8 Sept. 1736, and his wid. d. 30 May 1760. JOSHUA, Weymouth, by w. Ruth had James, b. 14 Dec. 1668. JOSIAH, Taunton, m. 25 May 1687, Mary Pratt of Dartmouth. LAWRENCE, Dorchester, wh. Mr. Clapp thot. s. of John, the quarter-master, by w. Mary had Mary, b. 28 Feb. 1643; ar. co. 1642, freem. 10 May 1643, oft. 3. selectman, d. 3 Oct. 1665. In his will ment. is found of w. and ch. but names of none are seen, exc. w. Mary. His w. Mary was Extrix. LEONARD, Providence, of wh. I see nothing, but that he was among those wb. in June 1668, engag. alleg. LESTER, Boston, came in the Speedwell from London, arr. 27 July 1656, aged 24; but no more is kn. of him. MARMADUKE, Rye, then claim. as belong. to Conn. was in 1669 a sort of preacher to the people there, but not to the satisfact. of the governm. See Trumbull, Col. Rec. Ir. 120. MARTIN, Northampton, took the o. of alleg. 8 Feb. 1679. He may be the man k. 29 Feb. 1704 at Deerfield, by the Fr. and Ind. MATTEHEW, Charlestown, a cordwinder, came, 1637, from Sandwich, Co. Kent, with w. Jane and four ch. and was that yr. adm. inhab. of C. tho. Felt shows, that Salem made him gr. of ld. perhaps conditional. His w. was rec. by the ch. 22 Dec. 1639; but no bapt. is ment. on the rec. nor can the names of those brot. from Eng. be ascertain. He was a householder in 1658, and perhaps in 1678, under the title of goodman. MATTHEW, Watertown, wh. sw. fidel. in 1652, may be the man claim. by Eaton among early sett. of Reading, but the Boston rec. of d. call. him "of W. and s. in law of Thomas Cooper of B." shows that be was" drown. at Noddle's isl. 21 May 1658." He was, I presume, a young man, whose mo. the wid. S. of W. had m. Cooper. MATTHEW, Woburn, prob. s. of Matthew of Charlestown, b. in Eng. had Elizabeth b. 15 Sept. 1658; Matthew, 2 Sept. 1659; John, 19 Jan. 1661, d. young; Samuel, 29 Apr. 1662, d. soon; Samuel again, 26 July 1663; Hannah, 21 Oct. 1664; and John, again, 28 Mar. 1667. MATTHEW, Woburn, s. of the preced. m. 20 June 1684 (tho. ano. rec. has it 2 Mar. 1682), Mary, d. of John Cutler of the same. MICHAEL, Charlestown [[127]] 1644, liv. on the Malden side, adm. of the ch. 1 July 1645; had been fin. for voting unduly, but the tender mercy of the Gen. Court in May 1647, when he was made freem. extend. to him, as "being poor and of an harmless disposition, and the act done in simplicity." He prob. had sev. ch. and Farmer names Samuel, b. 19 July 1648. but this is aft. the sad vacuity in our ch. rec. of bapt. Yet aft. the blessed restorat. not of Charles II. but of the writing down of ch. brot. to the font, I find Sarah, "d. of our br. M. S. (of Malden side)" on 4 Aug. 1661; was a householder 1658. MORRIS, Gloucester, m. 4 Nov. 1681, Sarah Millet, perhaps d. of Thomas, or, as Babson thinks more prob. wid. of John. By her he had Sarah, b. 1683; and Morris, 1686. He was sexton of the ch. and in that office was succeed. by Stephen Robinson, wh. m. his d. Sarah. NATHAN, New Haven, s. of George of the same, was a propr. 1685, then had w. Esther, d. prob. of John Goodyear, wh. he m. 10 Aug. 1682. NATHANIEL, Charlestown, a householder in 1658. NATHANIEL, Haverhill, m. 14 May 1663, Elizabeth had, perhaps d. of Daniel, was, freem. 1668. NATHANIEL, Weymouth, by w. Experience had John, b. 26 Aug. 1679; and Hannah, 29 Mar. 1687; was freem. 1681. NATHANIEL, Hampton, took o. of alleg. Dec. 1678; and NATHANIEL, Hadley, took the same o. in Feb. foll. NATHANIEL, Hartford, m. 9 July 1686, Esther Dickinson, d. of Thomas, had Nathaniel, b. 20 Jan. 169S; Susanna, 1699; Jerusha; Abigail, 1704; Gideon; and Joseph; beside perhaps some earlier, or some of these may have been; but these six were liv. 1715. He was s. of Joseph, and his wid. Esther m. Hezekiah Porter. NATHANIEL, Hatfield, s. of Philip the first, m. 6 Feb. 1696, Mary, d. of Nathaniel Dickinson of the same, had Nathaniel, b. 1 July 1698; Mary, 11 Dec. 1700; Joshua, 2 Nov. 1702; Rebecca, 4 Apr. 1705; Hannah, 7 Mar. 1707; Martha, 31 Jan. 1709; Lydia, 16 Mar. 1711; and Jerusha, 9 Jan. 1713; his w. d. 16 Aug. 1718; and he d. 1740. NEHEMIAH, by Miss Thomas thot. to be first relig. teach. at Marshfield, I hear no more of, exc. that in an eminent. confus. obitua. on p. 82 of Geneal. Reg. XIV. Ann, a d. of the first Thomas Bourne, is said to m. Rev. Nehemiah S. in 1639. NEHEMIAH, New Haven, had Sarah, and Mary, b. 1642; Hannah, 1644, all bapt. 14 Dec. 1645; Mercy and Elizabeth 1645, both bapt. 22 Feb. 1646; and Nehemiah, bapt. not (as in Geneal. Reg.

Still the wonder did not so far outrun conscience and common sense, as to prevail on the trial of Mary Webster, charg. for such clear malignities not only against Smith, the hypochondriac suffer. but others; even tho. she was before a jury at Boston, then peculiar. expos. to false impress., she was acquit. and d. peaceably at Hadley.

Ralph); but out of office he d. at Boston 1 Mar. 1661, the rec. proves, not 2 as Farmer had been told. Among his many wanderings, he may have found trans. resid. 1657, at New London, and again in 1659. Caulkins, 322. RALPH, Hingham, from Hingham, Co.

His w. Grace with s. Samuel, had admin. of his est. 27 Oct. 1685. Yet in this much doubt is felt, for Roxbury rec. of d. in 1672 has RALPH, aged 95, of wh. more strange is it, that nothing else was ever heard, so that I fear error in this Roxbury rec. tho. he may have been the Hingham man. RICHARD, Taunton 1638, one of the first purch. was from Gloucestersh. may be the man, wh. went to R. I. the next yr. and some yrs. aft. was the promin. man on the main, hav. a large trad. ho. in the Narraranset land, perhaps two, North Kingston and Wickford, purch. of the sachem in 1641, and this, in my opin. led to tak. side against Gorton and his assoc. wh. bot. of other sachems a principality of Showamet, or Warwick, to the Northward of Smith, wh. made Arnold and comp. of Providence cry out against G. and his friends, wh. preach. bad doctrines in the judgment of Mass. people, and thence in the summer came the cruel, if not perfidious, slaughter of Miantinomo, head of both parties of the Ind. and next the relig. war of 1643 against Gortonism.

His s. of the same name was made constable there 1663, when the Conn.

Other ch. were Jonathan, wh. he estab. in est. as early as 1662; Samuel; Joseph; and Benjamin. But I ought to add, that these ch. are by Chapin reckon. gr. ch. of the first sett. of 1648, and progeny of his s. Richard. With him I agree, tho. not to receive the result of his testim. in 1684 when he tells of coming from the Vineyard "30 or 40 yrs. ago," yet ment. no f.

RICHARD, Watertown, sw. fidel. 1652, perhaps was of Lancaster, and m. 2 Aug. 1654, Joanna Quarles. RICHARD, Boston, came in the Speedwell, July 1656, aged 43, may be the man wh. had (with cons. of their f.) bound to him ch.

His will, of 16 Mar. 1691, call. hims. of Rochester in the King's Prov. at Narraganset, allows us to suppose, that he had no ch. for it gives all the income of his various est. to his w. for her natural life, and no longer, aft. wh. the whole to kinsmen, Lodowick and Daniel Updike," &c. &;c. for wh. we may care less than to obs. the fact, that the instrum. was pro. by our Gov.

Ludicrous perversity in modern days of this genealogy, so as to make the blood of the Mathers follow thro. wrong f. and wrong m. beside sinking in the male line one generat. yet grasp. in the female at one too old. See p. 34 in the valua. Centen. of Rev. Alonzo B. Chapin, where all the error is giv. for truth. His Excellency, John Cotton Smith, Y. C. 1783, late Gov. of Conn. was thus, it is ssid, misdirect. by his f. Rev. Cotton Mather S. Y. C. 1751, wh. seems to have partak. in one ill habit of his illustr. namesake. How he should exchange the name of his mos. f. for that of her gr.f. is less strange, however, than it might seem, if we suppose the reference being oft. made to the famous Dr. M. in the youth's hearing, he always assoc. [[133]] the Presid. of the Coll. at Cambridge with that rare title, and thot. more of Increase, than of the humble neph. Atherton Mather, from wh. his own prefix came.

In 1834, he says, 214 had been gr. at N. E. coll. of wh. 74 are found at Yale, 35 at Dartmouth, and only 38 at Harv. SNAWSELL, ABRAHAM, Marblehead 1672. THOMAS, Boston, merch. 1663, ar. co. 1665.

By her he had William, b. 24 June 1649; Ann, 2 Mar. 1652, wh. prob. d. young; and Ann, again, 7 May 1654, bapt. next Sunday. Coffin, p. 55, furnishes some amusing story of his short resid. at Newbury. WILLIAM, Boston, prob. s. of the preced. m. Margaret, wid. of William Rogers, had Mary, b. 20 June 1677; but, it is said by Farmer, that no descend. remain. SNOOKE, JAMES, Weymouth, by his will, of 22 June 1655, pro. 19 July foll. of wh. he made his w. Margaret Extrix., he seems to have come from Fifehead Magdalen near Shaftesbury, Co. Dorset, nam. two [[138]] sis. and a sis. in law in that sh. His wid. made her will 9 Apr. 1660. The name was not, I think, perpet.

Rebecca, d. of Robert Barker, and had William, James, Joseph, Benjamin, Mary, Lydia, Hannah, and Rebecca. WILLIAM Bridgewater, s. prob. of the preced. m. Naomi, d. of Thomas Whitman. Of this name, in 1829, Farmer says three had been gr. at Brown Univ. of wh. was Caleb H. the dilig. and lament. hist. of Boston. SNUFFENE, GEORGE, if such a name be true, was propound. 1670, for freem. in Conn. SOLART, or SALART, JOHN, Wenham 1656, had w. Sarah, nam. in his will of 26 Sept. 1672; but perhaps she was then in Eng. certain. in 1676, when he went for her, was back here in 1679. From Prob. Reg. we find, that his wid. had admin. the ch. were Elizabeth w. of Joseph Lovett; Hannah, w. of John Trask; Martha, w. of Thomas Kilham; Abigail, w. of Mordecai Larcum; Mary, wh. m. John Edwards; Sarah, wh. m. Daniel Poole; Bethia; and Joseph, wh. last d. under age; that the wid. mo. of these ch. had m. Ezekiel Woodward, and was since dec.

May not these persons have been Huguenots? SOLLENDEN, or SALINDINE, JOHN, Dunstable, m. 2 Apr. 1679, or 2 Aug. 1680 (by the rec. of Middlesex or Fox's Hist. respectiv.), Elizabeth Usher, and F. gives the names and dates of the ch. Sarah, b. Apr. 1682; John, May 1683; and Alice, Jan. 1686. He was a selectman, liv. 1695. SOMERBY, ABIEL, Newbury, s. of Anthony, freem. 1669, m. 13 Nov. 1661, Rebecca, d. of deac. Richard Knight, had Henry, b. 13 Nov. [[140]] 1662; Elizabeth 20 Dec. 1664; Abiel, 2 Aug. 1667; Abigail, 25 Jan. 1670; and Anthony and Rebecca, tw. posthum. 2 June 1672; for he d. 27 Dec. 1671.

His wid. m. 2 Mar. 1653, Tristram Coffin. Elizabeth m. 25 Nov. 1663, Nathaniel Clark; and next, 8 Aug. 1698, Rev. John Hale of Beverly. SOMERS, JOHN, Marshfield, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 1686; John, 1688; Mary, 1691; and Nathan, 1693. That the fam. rem. to Rochester, is told by Miss Thomas, but neither she, nor others, give the much more interesting fact, where it came from. SOMES, JOHN, Boston, s. of Morris of Gloucester, m. Hannah, eldest d. of Samuel Shattuck of Salem, the happy messeng. of Charles II. who brot. the order to stop the execrable policy of persecut. the Quakers; made his will 13 Nov. 1687, pro. in 1700, when of sev. ch. only Benjamin was liv. to settle the est. MORRIS, Gloucester, by w. Margery had Mary, b. 1 Mar. 1642, and Sarah, 15 June 1643. His w. d. 22 Jan. 1647; and he m. 26 June foll. Elizabeth d. of John Kendall of Cambridge, had John, 22 Apr. 1648; Lydia, 3 Oct. 1649; and some others, of wh. Hannah, 3 Sept. 1608. He d. 1689. Mary m. 17 Oct. 1660, John Hammond, and Sarah m. 15 June 1665, Henry Witham. TIMOTHY, Gloucester, perhaps s. of the preced. m. 2 Jan. 1672, Jane Stanwood, perhaps d. of Philip, had Timothy, b. 27 July 1673; Jane, 1 Dec. 1674; Alice, 11 Mar. 1677; Joseph, 26 Aug. 1679; and William, 24 Jan. 1682. SOPER, JOSEPH, Boston, m. 6 May 1656, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Alcock; but I see no more of him, exc. that their s. Joseph was b. 5 Jan. 1660. SOULE, SOLE, or SOUL, GEORGE, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 1620, under protect. of Edward Winslow, sign. the Cape Cod compact in Nov. was tax. in 1633 and 4 independ. of W. had rem. to Duxbury bef. 1643, by w. Mary Becket had George; Zechariah; John, b. 1632; Nathaniel; Benjamin, but the order is unk. as also Patience, Elizabeth and Mary, wh. m. John Peterson; all as Bradford says, bef. 1650. He was rep. 1645, and some yrs. later; an orig. propr. of Bridgewater, [[141]] as in 1652, he had been among the purch. of Dartmouth. His w. d. 1677 and he d. 1680; in 1668 have est. in Middleborough to John Haskins and Francis Walker, wh. m. respectiv. Patience and Elizabeth GEORGE, and NATHANIEL, s. of the preced. were of Dartmouth 1686, but no acco. of either is gain. JOHN, Duxbury, s. of the first George, when his f. made his will, was the oldest, by w. Esther had John; Joseph, b. 31 July 1679; Joshua, 12 Oct. 1681; Josiah, 1682; Benjamin; and two ds. ZECHARY, Duxbury 1643, perhaps br. more prob. as Weston says, s. of the preced. d. 1663, his wid. Margaret gave inv. on 11 Dec. Winsor thinks, he had s. of the same name, wh. perish. in the unhappy expedit. of Phips, 1690; and tells one of his cous. James, of Middleborough, wh. was fin. L5 for refus. to go. SOUTH, JOHN, Dorchester, if the name spell. Sougth in the ret. of d. 1635, may thus be writ. Yet no such name is heard of at D. exc. in this list of d. and it may be he was only trans. WILLIAM, Mass. sentenc. by Court of Assist. 4 Sept. 1638, and by the Gen. Ct. few days aft. to be banish. on pain of d. but the rec. names not the offence. SOUTHCOATE, or SOUTHCOT, RICHARD, Dorchester 1630, came in the Mary and John, req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. of that yr. and perhaps 18 May foll. was adm. under designat. of Capt. If so, had leave 26 July next to go to Eng. promis. to return with conven. speed; but came not. Yet he may have been short time at Piscataqua in 1639. THOMAS, Dorchester, prob. br. of the preced. an orig. patentee under the Great Plymouth Comp. but not ment. in royal chart. came perhaps in the Mary and John and req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and as he is never ment. again, it is believ. that he went home that autumn. SOUTHER, SOUTER, or SOWTHER, JOHN, Boston, m. 11 Jan. 1661, Hannah, d. of Robert Read, may not be the same, wh. tool; o. of alleg. at Hampton, Dec. 1678, was keep. of the prison here 1683, perhaps had sec. w. and d. at B. 2 Jan. 1697. JOSEPH, prob. of Boston, m. 22 Oct. 1657, Elizabeth d. of Daniel Fairfield, had Joseph, b. 20 Aug. 1658; John, 5 Sept. 1660; Hannah, 31 Aug. 1663; Paul, 30 Jan. 1666; Samuel, 9 Dec. 1670; Daniel, 12 Aug. 1674; and Dinah, 13 Apr. 1677; was freem. 1684. NATHANIEL, Plymouth 1636, clk. of the Court, rem. to Boston 1649, was freem. 1653, and a notary. His w. Alice d. 27 Sept. 1651; and he m. 5 Jan. 1654, wid. Sarah Hill, and d. 27 June 1655. His wid. sold his est. in Feb. foll. His d. Mary m. 1 Dec. 1653, Joseph Shaw, and next, 16 Aug. foll. John Blake. SOUTHMEAD, or SOUTHMAYD, JOHN, New London 1668, s. of William, the first, was a mariner and soon rem. WILLIAM Gloucester, mariner and shipwright, m. 28 Nov. 1642, Milicent d. of William Addis, had William, b. 12 Sept. 1643; John, 26 Oct. 1645, d. soon; and [[142]] John, again, 31 Dec. 1646. Soon aft. he d. for his inv. is found at Pro. Ct. 20 Feb. 1649, wh. I regret to add, shows little prop. and his wid. m. William Ash, wh. rem. a. 1650 to New London, and had 3d h. Thomas Beebee, prob. was happy to give ch. to ea. WILLIAM, New London, mariner and ship owner, eldest s. of the preced. rem. to Middletown, m. Oct. 1673, Esther, d. of Giles Hamlin, had William, b. 1674, d. young; John, 1676, H. C. 1697, min. of Waterbury; William, again, 1679, d. young; Giles, 1680; and Esther, 1682, d. soon; by sec. w. Margaret, d. of Hon. John Allyn of Hartford, had Allyn, b. 1685; Daniel, 1687, d. at 16 yrs.; Margaret, 1691; Ann, 18 Jan. 1693; Joseph, 1695; William, again, 1698; and Milicent, 1700, wh. d. at 17 yrs. and he d. Dec. 1702. His wid. wh. d. 16 Mar. 1733, in her will of 5 Dec. 1728, names only four of her ch. Margaret Gaylord, Ann Stillman, Joseph, and William. The name is well perpet. in Conn. SOUTHWELL, EBENEZER, Northampton, s. of William of the same, m. Elizabeth d. of Samuel Judd, had Elizabeth b. 28 June 1721; and he rem. to Suffield. ENOCH, Northampton, br. of the preced. m. 1732, but Mr. Judd omits the w's. name, tho. he add. that he had ch. until 1743. WILLIAM, Northampton, m. 24 Feb. 1687, Sarah, d. of John Stebbins of the same, was freem. 1690, had Mary, b. 25 Feb. 1688; Enoch, 1689, d. soon; Sarah, 19 Nov. 1690; Ebenezer, 17 Jan. 1694; Abigail, Apr. 1696, d. young; Hannah, 16 Sept. 1698; Enoch, again, 26 Apr. 1700; and John, b. and d. 1703. No gain has follow. the search for this man's origin; and perhaps one of the very few instances of emigrat. from Eng. to our country, later than 1670, may be this of Southwell. More than the proportion of ninety-five in the hundr. of the populat. of N. E. in 1775, had descend. I think, from the sett. wh. came at least 25 yrs. bef. that earlier date. SOUTHWICK, DANIEL, s. of Lawrence, m. 23 Feb. 1663, Esther, d. of Joseph Boyce, had Esther, b. 26 June 1665; Elizabeth 24 June 1668; Daniel, 25 Mar. 1671; Elinor, 25 June 1674; and Hannah, 7 Aug. 1677. JOHN, Salem, eldest s. of Lawrence, m. Sarah, wid. of Samuel Tidd, had Sarah, b. June 1644; Mary, 10 Oct. 1646; and Samuel, 19 Feb. 1659. JOSIAH, Salem, br. of the preced. by w. Mary had Joseph, b. 3 Apr. 1662; Mary, Nov. 1664; Cassandra, Nov. 1667; and Ruth, 21 Feb. 1674. LAWRENCE, Salem 1639, with. w. Cassandra join. the ch. and was adm. freem. 6 Sept. of that yr. I presume, and on 6 Dec. foll. had John, Josiah, Daniel, and Provided bapt. at once. Other ch. were Mary, w. of Henry Trask, and Deborah. He was, I suppose, a glass blower, had gr. of ld. for house lot of two acres; but in the dark days of delus. against the quakers, 1658 and 1669, the whole fam. suffer. much, fines and imprison. fell on all, and the d. Clarissa was subj. to gr. severity. When the fines of Daniel and Provided were unpaid, the tender-hearted Gen. Court, with intent to magnify the glory of God, order. them to be sold for slaves to any Christians in Virg. or Barbados. We are permit. to rejoice, that the sentence was not enforc. and the f. with his flock found refuge at Shelter isl. near the East end of L. I. where in peace he made his will of 10 July 1659, allow. in 1660; James the ch. Daniel. Provided, John, Josiah, and ds. Mary, w. of Henry [[143]] Trask, and Deborah; and his w. and hims. d. within three days of ea. other, it is said. See Felt, II. 580-2, and Col. Rec. IV. part first, pp. 349, 366, 7, and 410. Much as they might love their native ld. the danger from their opin. requir. banishm. it seem. with a proviso, that they should suffr death for return. SOUTHWORTH, CONSTANT, Plymouth, s. of Edward, b. 1610, was not brot. in the Ann 1623, by his wid. mo. when she came to m. Gov. Bradford, but came, it is presum. in 1628, was made freem. of the col. and m. 2 Nov. 1637, Elizabeth d. of William Collier, resid. in Duxbury, was rep. in 1647 and 22 yrs. foll. and on the d. of his br. Capt. Thomas, was chos. an Assist. till his own d. 11 Mar. 1679, and once was a Commiss. for the Unit. Col. He left s. Edward; Nathaniel, b. 1648; and William, 1659; ds. Mercy, wh. m. 12 May 1658, Samuel Freeman; Alice, wh. m. 26 Dec. 1667, famous Benjamin Church; Mary, wh. m. David Alden; Elizabeth m. William Fobes; and Priscilla. EDWARD, Duxbury, eldest s. of the preced. m. 16 Nov. 1669, Mary, d. of William Peabody, had Thomas; Elizabeth b. 1672; Constant; Mercy; Benjamin; Priscilla; and John; but their dates of b. are unkn. was rep. 1689 and 91 at Plymouth, and under the new chart. at Boston 1692 and 3. NATHANIEL, Plymouth, br. of the preced. m. 10 Jan. 1672, Desire, d. of Edward Gray, wh. d. 4 Dec. 1690, had Constant, b. 12 Aug. 1674; Mary, 3 Apr. 1676; Ichabod, Mar. 1678; Elizabeth; Nathaniel, 10 May 1684; and Edward, 1688. He liv. at Middleborough, was a lieut. rep. 1696, and d. 14 Jan. 1711. THOMAS, Plymouth, br. of Constant, prob. younger, came with him, was a milit. lieut. and capt. an Assist. 1652 and twelve times aft. until 1667, d. 8 Dec. 1669, in his 53d yr. He and his br. Constant were among the purch. of Dartmouth. He m. Sept. 1641, Elizabeth d. of Rev. John Reyner, had only d. Elizabeth wh. m. 7 Dec. 1664, lieut. Joseph, s. of John Howland of the Mayflower's glorious comp. WILLIAM, Little Compton, s. prob. youngest of Constant, by w. Rebecca, wh. d. 3 or 23 Dec. 1702, in her 43d yr. had Benjamin, b. 18 Apr. 1681; Joseph, 1 Feb. 1683; Edward, 23 Nov. 1684; Elizabeth 23 Sept. 1686; Alice, 14 July 1688; Samuel, 26 Dec. 1690; Nathaniel, 31 Oct. 1692; Thomas, 13 Dec. 1694; and Stephen, 31 Mar. 1696; and by sec. w. had Gideon, 21 Mar. 1707; and Andrew, 12 Dec. 1709; and d. 2O June 1719. The name is not now seen at Little Compton, but is well diffus. in other parts of N. E. It was sometimes Southwood, in the early days, and belong. to "eminently a BassetLaw fam." by wh. I am constrain. to doubt the deduct. of pedigree, as print. in Winsor, 31G. Sir Gilbert, Sir John, Sir Thomas, Sir Christopher, may well have flourish. in Lancash. on the West Coast of the kingdom, but Edward, the h. of Alice Carpenter, wh. bec. w. [[144]] of our Gov. Bradford, liv. on the E. side; and of a line, however humble, long estab. there, so would not prob. draw his blood from them. A very long l. of most val. public serv. in Mass. Conn. and N. Y. proves, that honors from the Ct. of Queen Elizabeth were not need. Much benefit to thousands of inquirers on our side of the ocean may be deriv. from wise use of a few words in the note of Mr. Hunter, on pp. 6 and 7 of "The founders of New Plymouth," Ed. 1854: "mere possess. of a surname wh. coincides with that of an Eng. fam. is no proof of connex. with that fam. Claims of alliance found. on this basis are not the legitimate offspring of laborious genealog. inquiry, but of self-love and the desire to fvund a reputa. for ancestorial honor where no such honor is really due." Well is the topic explain. in further remarks, found. on experience of more than one gross case of indecent pretension. SOWDEN, THOMAS, Marblehead, 1674. SOWELL, THOMAS, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Hannah, b. 2 Nov. 1652, d. young; and Thomas, 13 July 1653; in wh. the rec. is, of course, less worthy of belief, than in ment. of his d. 7 Dec. 1654. SPARHAWK, or SPARROWHAWK, JOHN, Cambridge, d. 21 Sept. 1644. JOHN, Bristol, s. of the sec. Nathaniel, ord. 12 June 1695, m. Elizabeth Poole, and had two more ws. yet d. under 45 yrs. 29 Apr. 1718, leav. two s. John, b. 1713, H. C. 1731, min. of Salem; and Hon.

Pepperrell, H. C. 1766. NATHANIEL, Cambridge 1638, wh. may have been br. of first John, or his f. brot. perhaps from Braintree, or Dedham, Co. Essex, most of his ch. prob. with w. Mary, and here had Samuel, b. 27 Oct. 1638, d. in Oct. foll. He was freem. 23 May 1639, and at the same Court licens. to sell wine, deac. and rep. 1642-7. His w. d. 25 Jan. 1644, and by a sec. w. Catharine wh. outliv. him only 7 days, he had Nathaniel; Ann; Mary; Esther; and Elizabeth, whose gr.-stone says she d. 9 Nov. 1692, aged a. 47 yrs.; but certain. Ruth, wh. d. 9 May 1645, was by the first w. He d. 28 June 1647, and beside his w. there d. a serv. of his, Mary Peirce, a week aft. so that we may well suppose some epidem. His other ch. were Ann wh. m. deac. John Cooper; Nathaniel; both certain. b. in Eng. as may have been Esther; and Mary, wh. m. 8 Oct. 1673, William Barrett, as his 3d w.

C. but I kn. not any more. SPARK, or SPARKS, EDWARD, came, 1635, aged 22, as a serv. to Thomas Page, from London, in the Increase, and prob. was of Saco. JOHN, Boston, m. 26 Nov. 1661, Mary, d. of Walter Sinnet, was of Ipsich 1655, may have been of Saco; and here may have been f. of Thomas, certain. of E1iZ. wh. m. 26 Oct. 1684, Jacob Perkins, third of the name in that town. SPARRELL, CHRISTOPHER, Wells, freem. 1653. SPARROW, JOHN, Eastham, s. of Jonathan, m. 5 Dec. 1683, Apphia Freeman (but this name is by my conject. suppl. for the d. of Samuel of Eastham), had Rebecca, b. 23 Dec. 1684; John, 24 Aug. 1687; Elizabeth 19 Jan. 1689; and Stephen, 6 Sept. 1694.

RICHARD, Plymouth, 1632, rem. to Eastham 1653, brot. from Eng. Jonathan and prob. other ch. was rep. 1655, and 6, and d. 8 Jan. 1660. His will of 19 Nov. preced. names w. Pandora, and s.

SPAULDING, SPAULDEN, SPOLDEN, SPARLDEN, or SPALDEN, ANDREW, Chelmsford, s. of Edward the first, was a deac. perhaps had fam. and d. 5 May 1713. BENJAMIN, Chelmsford, br. of the preced. m. 30 Oct. 1668, Olive, d. of Henry Farwell, had, beside sev. others, Edward, b. 1672, and Benjamin, 1685. EDWARD, Braintree, by w.

Rachel Extrix. but she d. soon aft. him, [[146]] and on prob. of the will 5 Apr. 1670, admin. was giv. to John and Edward. EDWARD, Chelmsford, s. of the preced. m. 6 July 1663, Priscilla Underwood, d. of William, had Dorothy, b. 1664; Deborah, 1667; and Edward, 1671; was freem. 1690, and rep. 1691. JOHN, Chelmsford, s. prob. the eldest, of Edward the first, m. 18 May 1658, Hannah Hale, had Eunice, b. 27 July, 1660, says the rec. in Middlesex; but Farmer MS. beside sev. ds. not nam., gives him John, b. 28 Feb. 1661; Edward, 16 Sept. 1663; Samuel, 6 Mar. 1668; and Joseph, 22 Oct. 1673; was freem. 1690. Descend. of the first Edward have been very num. much scatter. and highly respectab. Nine of this name had in 1834 been gr. at Yale, two at Harv. and eighteen at other N. E. coll. acc. Farmer's MS. SPAULE, SPOWELL, or SPAUL, THOMAS, Boston, by w. Alice had Mary, b. Sept. 1644; and for sec. w. had Mary, wh. brot. him Elizabeth 29 Sept. 1646; if the rec. be true; and yet ano. w. Elizabeth d. of Thomas Buckminister of Muddy riv. and by her two ch. ment. in the will of their gr.f. Sept. 1656; but the rec. of Boston m. has 18 Aug. 1653 his union with Mary Guttridge, of wh. I am ign. whether she was wid. or maid; so that we ought to hesitate, whether Spaul and Spowell be the same. Mary his w. by his will of 23 Feb. 1671, was devisee of his ho. ld. and personal est. while a wid. but aft. his d. Mary, w. of Joseph Knight, to enjoy in perpet. and failing issue, then to his kinswom. Elizabeth d. of Edmund Brown of Dorchester. So that it may seem almost certain, that he had not m. the Buckminster. WILLIAM, Boston, by w.

JARED, Hartford, s. of Thomas the first, m. 22 Dec. 1680, Hannah, d. of John Pratt the third of the same, wh. d. 22 Oct. 1692, and he d. 1712, hav. had Hannah, b. 12 Oct5. 1681; Jared, 15 Jan 1683; Nathaniel, 2 Feb. 1685, d. soon; John, 25 Oct. 1686; Sarah, and Elizabeth tw. 16 Feb 1688; Nathaniel, again, 21 Dec. 1690; and Mary, 8 Sept. 1692. *JOHN, Ipswich, came from London in the Mary and John 1634, hav. tak. the o. of suprem. and alleg. 26 Mar. in London; and was freem. 3 Sept. foll. and the first rep. 1634 and 5, rem. to Newbury with the first sett. and was rep. for that town 1635, and the same yr. allow. to build with Mr. Dummer, chos. capt. by the Gen. Ct. Mar. 1637, but two mos. aft. turn. out for his heresy in favor. Wheelwright, and Nov. foll. ord. to surrender his arms. See Winthrop I. 248. He went home next yr. and d. it is thot. in 1648, for in Mar. 1649, his will of 1 Aug. 1637, was pro. at Salem. In it he ment. neph. John S. his heir, br. Thomas Spencer, and cous. Ann Knight. JOHN, Haddam, s. perhaps eldest., of the first Jared, was a propr. 1660, offer. as freem. [[148]] 1669, m. a. 1665, Rebecca, d. of Robert Howard, had Rebecca, b. Mar. 1666; Jared, Jan. 1669; Benjamin, Mar. 1671; Lydia, 1673; and Grace, Feb. 1677; and he d. 3 Aug. 1682. JOHN, E. Greenwich, in his later days, had brot, fam. t o that town, as in the rec. we find "Thomas, his seventh s. of John and Susanna Spencer, was b. in E. G. 22 July 1679. a. 5 o'clock in the morn. and was the first Eng. ch. b." there. But he had liv. in some part of the Col. a dozen yrs. bef. for he was freem. 1668, yet since no trace of him is earlier seen, or any report of progenit. my conject. is that he is one of the few that came over aft. the restorat. of Charles II. and had w. and some ch. soon aft. Perhaps his w. was d. Audrey or Susanna, of John Greene the sec. of Warwick. He had sec. w. and d. 1684, as the will made by the town governm. ment. her and the ch. in the order, prob. of age, John, Michael, Benjamin, William, Robert, Abner, Thomas, Peleg, and Susanna. MICHAEL, Cambridge 1634, br. of Jared the first, rem. to Lynn 1637, freem. Mar. 1638, m. the wid. of Thomas Robbins of Salem, and d. 1653, leav. two ch. perhaps by a former w.; Susanna, b. 1643, wh. m. 1 Aug. 1664, Daniel Bacon of Salem; and MICHAEL, then aged 6 yrs. wh. under care of his gr.f. Robbins, bec. a shipwright, and liv. at Cambridge, it is said, in 1670, there m. 7 Dec. 1671, Rebecca, d. of Thomas Sweetman, had Rebecca, b. 4 Nov. 1673. Porter claims the elder Michael as an inhab. of Hartford, on Mill str. 1645; but I conject. that his eye mistook Mr. for this name. NATHANIEL, Haddam, s. of Jared, m. 1681, Lydia, d. of Thomas Smith, had Lydia, b. 10 Aug. 1682; Nathaniel, 15 July 1684; Elizabeth 18 Jan. 1686; John, 30 Mar. 1688; Mary, 9 June 1692; Daniel, 20 Aug. 1694; Susanna, 8 Nov. 1696; Dorothy, 8 Mar. 1699; and Phineas, 20 Mar. 1701. A sec. w. brot. him no ch. and d. more than 20 yrs. aft. him, 20 Feb. 1742. OBADIAH, Hartford, s. of Thomas the first of the same, made freem. 1658, m. Mary, d. of Nicholas Disbrown, had Obadiah, b. 1666; Thomas, 1668; Samuel; Ebenezer; John; Disbrow; and Mary; and d. 1712. ROBERT, East Greenwich, s. of John of the same, m. 15 July 1697, Theodosia Waite, had Joanna, b. 1711. ROGER, Saco 1652, submit. then to Mass. came up to Charlestown 1653, mariner, was a capt. at Saco the same yr. perhaps, and aft. until 1669. His d. Mary m. John Hull of Boston, not the mintmaster, and next, Sir William Phips, wh. was made Gov. of Mass. and last, Hon. Peter Sargent; ano. d. Rebecca m.

Elizabeth Sarah, Hannah, John, and Thomas, beside other gr.ch. Elizabeth and John Osborn Jr. and perhaps ch. of John Osborn of Boston, and some others. WILLIAM, Plymouth 1643, is by fam. tradit. said to have come from Colchester, Co. Essex, had in Mar. 1637 been serv. or apprent. to John Osborn Jr. and perhaps ch. of by the Ct. in 1645 made guardn. of the childr. of C. By w. Elizabeth wh. d. 28 Apr. 1648, he had only ch.

SPRAGUE, ANTHONY, Hingham, eldest s. of William of the same, m. 26 Dec. 1661, Elizabeth d. of Robert Bartlett of Plymouth, had Anthony, Benjamin, John, Elizabeth Samuel, Sarah, James, Josiah, Jeremiah, Richard, and Matthew, as in the Sprague Geneal. rank.; but some d. young, and his w. d. Feb. 1713. In his will of 21 July 1716, pro. 12 Oct. 1719, in our rec. XXI. 245 are nam. Anthony with Anthony his s. and other s. Richard, James, Samuel, Matthew, Josiah, and Jeremiah, beside d. Sarah Bates, w. of Caleb. He d. 3 Sept. 1719. His house was burn. 20 Apr. 1676 by the Ind. in Philip's war. Of this branch, of Anthony, thro. Jeremiah, the seventh s. is the celebr. poet, Charles, descend. EDWARD, Malden, youngest s. of the first John m. 24 Nov. 1693, Dorothy, d. of Job Lane of the same, had William, b. 4 Sept. 1696; Ann, 20 Mar. 1697; Dorothy, 9 Sept. 1698; and d. 13 Apr. 1715. FRANCIS, Plymouth, came with w. and a d. in the Ann 1623, but the names, Ann, and Mercy, are all that are giv. in 1627, at the div. of cattle, so that it is infer. that he left other ch. abroad, perhaps had John, or more b. here; and at P. was tax. 1633 and 4, but aft. was of Dusbury. He was liv. in 1666, as Winsor says, and he names the ch. John, Ann, Mary, and Mercy. This last, he tells, m. 9 Nov. 1637, William Tubbs; and one of the others m. Robert Lawrence; but I kn. no such man, and casually turn. (three yrs. aft. writ. this maledict) from p. 317 to 275, of Winsor, obs. that he calls him William. He was one of the orig. purch. of Dartmouth. * JOHN, Malden, eldest s. of Ralph, b. in Eng. freem. 1653, m. 2 May 1651, Lydia, d. of Edward Goffe of Cambridge, brot. from Eng. had John, b. 9 Mar. 1651; Lydia; Jonathan, b.

Richard, wh. outliv. him, in 1703, gives to five s. of this John, wh. was rep. 1689, 90, and 1. JOHN, Duxbury, only s. of Francis, liv. first at Marshfield, but d. in D.; m. 1655, Ruth, d. of William Bassett, had John; William; Samuel; Ruth, b. 12 Feb. 1659; Elizabeth; Desire; and Dorcas; was k. in Philip's war, 26 Mar. 1676, under Pierce, at the fierce fight of Pawtucket. JOHN, Plymouth and Duxbury, in Hutch. I. 354 call. one of the counc. to Sir Edmund Andros, was perhaps s. of William, and if this be true, he m. 13 Dec. 1666, Elizabeth Holbrook, and Hosea S. in his Geneal, tells no more, but that he sold in 1682 his est. at Hingham, and d. [[154]] at Mendon 1690. Yet there is, in my opin. very slight reason for think, the s. of William of Hingham to be the counsellor. Judge Mitchell refers to the will of the Hingham, man, of 1683, as it ment. his ch. John, William, Ebenezer, Elizabeth, Hannah, Milicent, and Persis. JOHN, Malden, eldest s. of John of the same, by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 23 July 1685; Abiah, 21 Aug. 1687; Mary, 27 Nov. 1689; was freem. 1690; and he d. June 1692. JONATHAN, Weymouth, s. of William of Hingham, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 21 July 1670; rem. to R. I. by fam. tradit. and may be the same, wh. at Providence had preach. in the early part of 18th centu. was town clk. in 1722, and perhaps d. at Smithfield, Jan. 1741, aged 92. JONATHAN, Malden, s. of the first John of the same, by w. Mary had Richard, b. 28 June 1686; John, 7 May 1689; Joseph, 24 Oct. 1691; Nathan, 2 Feb. 1694; Hannah, and Mary, tw. 25 May 1696; David, 15 Aug. 1698; and was freem. 1690. PHINEAS, Malden, youngest s. of Ralph, freem. 1690, m. 11 Dec. 1661, Mary Carrington, perhaps d. of Edward, wh. brot. him no ch. and d. 7 Dec. 1667; but by sec. w. m. 5 Jan. 1670, Sarah Hasey, perhaps d. of William had Phineas, b. 27 Dec. foll. William, 21 Nov. 1672; Ralph, Nov. 1674; Sarah, 23 Apr. 1686; Joanna, 17 Apr. 1688; and Abigail, 2 Mar. 1690. But my suspicion is strong, that the three last belong to the other man of the same, name in that town. He took the o. of fidel. 15 Dec. 1674, and was rep. 1689 and 90. PHINEAS, Malden, prob. s. of the first John, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 11 Oct. 1691; Mary, 15 Oct. 1693; Tabitha, 19 Oct. 1696; and I find nothing more of him * RALPH, Charlestown 1629, came prob. with w. Joan, and s. John and Richard, that yr. in the fleet with Higginson, certain. with brs. Richard, and prob. William. They were s. of Edward prob. of Upway in Devonshire. Sometimes it has been thot. that these gent. were paseng. in 1628, with Endicott, but to me it seems more likely that, as they came, paying their own charges, they were in the fleet of 1629. With Endicott, in the Abigail, beside his fam. and serv. there not, I suppose, over twenty, includ. men, women, and ch. and most of them sent by the adventurers in London, as the first sh. for the planta. would naturally be occup. in transport. of persons wh. they should wholly control. The much larger exped. aft. gr. of the chart. 1629 had, also wider views of policy, and in obedience to the direct. of the officers of the comp. at home the Spragues, wh. came at their own charge, wre sent by Endicott to take up the lands in C. but we kn. that the compiler of the Charlestown rec. threw back his narra. of early transact, by one yr. mak. Winthrop and the gr. body of our early sett. come in 1629. As the Spragues came one yrs. bef. Winthrop Mr. Green, the compiler of that MS. compliment. by Prince and most of us as the first rec. of C. natural. gave them the [[155]] date 1628, and on the same premises our confidence reposes, that the true yr. was 1629. He had w. Joan, and the Nos. of hims. and her on our ch. list are 102 and 3. He had Samuel, bapt. 3 June 1632, but he may have been b. many mos. for his was the sixth ch. nam. in our list, and the rite had not been perform. since Nov. 1630, by reason of the abs. of Wilson the pastor, wh. came back from Eng. the wk. bef. this bapt. He and his w. were of the 33, wh. had desir. dismiss. from the congr. of Boston "to enter into a new ch. body at C." and were dismiss. 14 Oct. 1632; and his d. Mary was bapt. 14 Sept. 1634; s. Phineas, 31 July 1637. He had sprung, I imagine, from Dorsetsh. and own. lds. in Upway of that Co. as by let. of 25 Mar. 1651 from his f.-in-law, John Corbin, at that parish, appears. On 19 Oct. 1630 he req. adm. and 18 May foll. was sw. as freem. made constable at the Gen. Ct. Oct. 1630, serg. lieut. and capt. in regular success, rep. May 1635, being the third time of such an assemb. and very frequ. aft.; ar. co. 1639; but I believe that in later days he liv. on Mistick side, or Malden, for his name is in a commiss. to set. bounds there, and he d. Nov. 1650, and his s. Jonathan next mo. and his name of the wid. is the sec. on the women's memo. to the Gen. Ct. 1651 in favor Matthews; and she may have m. eleven yrs. later Edward Converse of Woburn. Mary, his d. m. Daniel Edmunds, oft. writ. Edmunds, and in the will of her br. Capt. Richaard has good provis. * RICHARD, Charlestown, came, no doubt, with the preced. wh. was elder br. bring. w. Mary, and on the Boston list of ch. mem. stands bef. his br. being No. 79, adm. freem. 18 May 1631, was with w. dismiss. Oct. 1632, to form new ch. at C. in 1637 took side with Wheelwright, and sign. the remonstr. against the proceed. of the Ct. but on express. his regret, the signa. was eras.; was of ar. co. 1639, capt. rep. 1659 and sev. yrs. more, prob. had no. ch. and d. 25 Nov. 1668, aged 63. His will of 15 Sept. preced. names w. Mary, Richard, John, Samuel, and Phineas, s. of his br. Ralph, his br. William of Hingham, and gave to Harv. Coll. 30 ewes with their lambs. By the will of his wid. 12 Nov. 1671, pro. 16 June 1674, we gain a fine fam. crop. It names kinsmen, lieut. John, Samuel, and Phineas Sprague; kinsman Nathaniel Rand, and his s. Nathaniel; kindsman, Lawrence Dowse and his two ds. Elizabeth and Mary; childr. of Thomas Rand, and Lawrence Dowse; Jonathan, s. of Daniel Edmands; br. William Sprague, and his childr. sis. Alice Rand; kinsmen Thomas Rand, Nathaniel Rand, Lawrence Dowse, Abraham Newell, Nathaniel Brewer, and Thomas Lord; Mary Dowse, d. of Lawrence; made Excors. Nathaniel Rand, and lieut. John Sprague. His inv. summed up well. * RICHARD, Charlestown, s. of Ralph, b. in Eng. m. 25 Feb. (but Goodwin says 1 Feb.) 1673, Eunice, d. of Leonard Chester, wh. d. 27 May 1676; in 1674 dur. the Dutch war, he [[156]] command. an arm. vessel of 12 guns to cruise in Long Isl. sound, for secur. of the coast. trade. He took sec. w. Catharine Anderson, on whose gr. stone appears, that she d. 12 July 1701, aged 45; but prob. had no ch. by either w. as none is heard of. He was ar. co. 1681, capt. rep. 1681, and aft.; and was bur. 13 Oct. 1703, hav. d. 7, two days bef. wh. he made his will of unusual and judicious liberality to relatives, to clerg. to ch. and L400 to Harv.

Hannah were adm. of the ch. 1640, and the d. soon aft. d. as I infer from the town rec. of Hannah, b. 17 Feb. 1641; rem. soon aft. and was of Lynn or Salem, where he had gr. of ld. in 1640, says Felt, was made freem. 28 Feb. 1643, and Farmer says, his w. was adm. of Salem ch. 1659. Possib. it was ano. of the same bapt. name; and he may have gone home. for one Hugh Stacey was of the Congr. ch. with Rev. John Philip, wh. went from our country, and organiz. that dissent. form at Wrentham, in Co. Suffk. 1650. JOHN, Lynn or Marblehead 1641, prob. br. of the first Henry, had John, bapt. at Salem 9 Oct. 1642; Deborah, 22 Oct. 1643; and John, 29 Mar. 1646.

MARK, of Exeter, perhaps, in 1689, I kn. not any more of. RICHARD, Taunton 1643, d. 1687, and 7 Dec. of that yr. Thomas Lincoln Jr. had adm. of his est. SAMUEL, Salem 1678. * SIMON, Ipswich 1641, freem. 1668, a capt. rep. 1685, 6, 9, and 90, d. 27 Oct. 1699, THOMAS, Ipswich 1648, had William; Thomas; John, b. 1658, d. young; Joseph, 1661; Simon, 1664,; John, again, 1666; beside Elizabeth Mary,and Susanna. This is found by Bary; but ano. THOMAS, wh. m. 4 Oct. 1653, Susanna Worcester, wh. must have been eldest ch. of Rev. William, and had Thomas, b. 6 July 1654; William 21 Apr. 1656; Rebecca, 7 Dec. 1657; Elizabeth 10 Apr. 1659; Joseph, 27 June 1660; and Mary, 7 Nov. 1661, Coffin tells of, in his Extr. from old Norfolk rec. Of his est. sett. in 1692, he says w. Susanna, and ch. [[160]] were partak. William, John, Elizabeth w. of John Woodwell, and Susanna, w. of John Marston Jr. wh. was perhaps the miller of Salem in 1679. WILLIAM, Salem 1678, freem. 1680. He was s. of Thomas, and m. 28 Nov. 1677, Priscilla Buckley, had Priscilla, b. 10 Oct. foll. and d. next yr.; William, 21 July 1680, d. young; Thomas, 28 Mar. 1682; Sarah, 17 Jan. 1684; William, again, 25 Dec. 1686; Priscilla, again, 3 Aug. 1689, prob. d. soon; for next is Priscilla, 1 May 1690; and Simon, 1 Mar. 1695. STAFFORD, JOSEPH, Warwick, s. prob. youngest, of Thomas, m. Sarah, fourth d. of Randall Houlden, had three s. and four ds. certain. for the wills of hims. and of his w. give the names of Stukely, Joseph, and John, beside ds. Francis Congdon, Elizabeth Case, Margaret Place, and Sarah Smith. * SAMUEL, Warwick, s. of Thomas of the same, m. Mercy, d. of Stukely Westcott; had, as in Friend's rec. at Newport is seen, Stukely, b. 7 Nov. 1661; Amos, 8 Nov. 1665; Mercy, 8 July 1668; Sarah, 18 Apr. 1671; and Samuel, 19 Nov. 1673; but other ch. he had, as nam. in his will, where the first, third, and fifth of that rec. are not seen, leav. us the right of conject. that those were d. bef. him. Substitutes for them appear in Thomas, the youngest, Patience, w. of Howland, Freelove, w. of Tillinghast, and Elizabeth w. of Devotion. Amos is call. the eldest s. and Sarah, eldest d. nam. Scranton. Gr. ch. too, are found, Mercy Thurbar, and Mary Stafford, claim. the testator's regard. He was oft. rep. in 1674 and chos. an Assist. and d. 20 Mar. 1718, aged 82. THOAMS, Newport of Portsmouth 1638, said to have been b. 1605, and to have come to Plymouth 1626, and to have built there the first mill for grind. corn by water, but this seems very loose rep. and the Col. rec. that refer to the first mill aft. June 1635, do not ment. him. He is found at Warwick 1652, among the freem. there 1655, rem. I presume to Conn. whose Gen. Ct. gr. him, 1674, fifty acres; but he had been at New London as early as 1662, and was at W. to end his days 1677. He made his will 4 Nov. 1677,and d. soon aft. had Sarah, wh. m. 13 July 1667, and Deborah, wh. m. 9 June 1670, both to Amos Westcott; Samuel; and Joseph. His will names w. Elizabeth eldest s. Thomas, and d. Hannah, w. of Luke Bromley, beside the others. Claim was assert. by him to be "of the blood of the Stafford," but of wh. Stafford is less clear, and prob. unimport. tho. he perhaps had a coat of arms. THOMAS, Warwick, s. of the preced. m. 28 Dec. 1671, Jane Dodge, ahd Thomas, and William, but no dates are told, either of their or his own b. nor can the f. of w. be trac. STAGPOLE, JAMES, Dover, had a gr. as Mr. Quint tells, 1694, but he says that he was b. 1653, meaning, I suppose, in Eng. Possib. this name has become Stackpole. STAINES, RICHARD, Boston 1654, sailmaker, had w. Joice, and ch. Sarah, b. 16 Nov. 1655; Thomas, 16 Aug. 1658; Richard, 3 Dec. 1660; Rebecca, 26 Dec. 1662; and Ann, 29 Jan. 1664; for wh. in his will of 24 Oct. 1672, pro. 1 Nov. foll. he made provis. The wid. m.

James Avery Jr.; Sarah, m. 9 Feb. 1674, John Edgecombe; and Margaret, m. 30 Nov. 1678, Pasco Foote; and by sec. w. Elizabeth d. of George Miller, m. 1685, had two. ch. of wh. one prob. was Edward; and in 1693 m. third w. Christian, wid. of William Chapell, wh. surv. him. This name has singular mutations. It first appears as Stanley, changes to Stallon, Stolion, or Stallion, and subsides, as Caulkins shows, into Sterling. STAMFORD, THOMAS, at Scarborough, or Saco, sw. fidel. to Mass. 1658. STANBURY, STANBERRY, or STANBOROUGH, JOSIAH, Lynn 1639, rem. to Southampton, L. I. had prob. s. Josiah, and d. there 1659. See Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 348. JOSIAH, Southampton, L.

Martha ahd Thomas, b. 15 Oct. 1642, wh. as his mo. join. our ch. 29 Nov. 1645, was bapt. the day foll. being Sunday, with John, 2 yr. and 11 wks. old; but the careless town rec. says b. 15 Sept. 1645. He had, also, Nathan, b. 25 Dec. 1646; and Martha, bapt. 11 Mar. 1649; and d. 27 Sept. 1652. His wid. was bur. 28 Sept. 1685, says Sewall in his Diary. Yet this is giv. by my conject. only, for there was WILLIAM of Boston, wh. had Sarah bapt. in right of his w. 1 June 1651, if the rec. be trust., wh. is not in my opin. clear. STANCLIFFE, JAMES, Middletown, had, says Mr. Parsons, betw. 1686 and 1712, William, Martha, James, Sarah, William, again, and James, again; but no date to either is seen. He d. 3 Oct. 1712, and his wid. of whose bapt. or fam. name knowl. is not gain. d. 30 Dec. foll.

Reg. XIV. 133. STANDISH, * ALEXANDER, Duxbury, eldest s. of Capt. Miles, m. Sarah, d. of John Alden, had Miles, Ebenezer, b. 1672; Lora; Lydia; Mercy; Sarah; Elizabeth and perhaps David. By sec. w. Desire, d. of Edward Doty, wh. had been wid. of Israel Holmes, and first of William [[162]] Sherman, he had Thomas, in 1687; Desire, 1689; and Ichabod. JAMES, Salem 1638, freem. 13 May 1640, when the name is writ. Standige, prob. had w. Sarah, and was one of the pentnrs. 1640 for grant at Jeffery's creek, now Manchester, but of Lynn 1642, and d.

John eight days aft.; had sev. ch. by her and also by sec. w. Sarah, d. of Samuel Allen of Braintree, Miles, Josiah, Samuel, Israel, Mary, Lois, Mehitable, Martha, and Mercy, tho. we can never assign the respect. ch. to ea. w. was lieut. rep. 1665 and sixteen yrs. more. He rem. a. 1686 to Preston, where he d. 1690. His wid. Sarah and s. Miles had admin. of his est. His d. Mercy m. 30 Sept. 1726, Ralph Wheelock, as his sec. w. and was not mo. of Rev. Eleazer, the first Presid. of Dartmouth Coll. ( as oft. said in books) insasmuch as he was b. more than fifteen yrs. bef. that m. and his mo. was Ruth, d. of the sec. Christopher Huntington. Equal. unsound is the derivat. of that more disting. Presid. Kirkland of Harv. Univ. from the same Mercy (as told in many places), gr. mo. gr.mo. was Sarah, d. of Ruth, first w. of the said Ralph, not of the sec. w. Mercy Standish. See full illustrat. by Weaver, in Geneal, Reg. XIV. 376. MILES, or MYLES, Duxbury, the celebr. capt. of the pilgr. of the Mayflower, was b. in Lancashire, being a cadet, it was said, of the old house of Standish, long estab. with good landed posses. at Dusbury, a town of the parish of Standish in the Co. close to Wigan, 9 ms. from Bolton, and a. 20 ms. N. E. of Liverpool. He had been at Leyden some yrs. bef. the emb. 1620, but we are ign. whether he had ch. at that time, tho. certain that he brot. nobody, beside w. Rose, wh. d. 29 Jan. one mo.aft. the land. His next w. Barbara, came in the Ann 1623, and was prob. the mo. of some that were d. and of all his ch. as nam. in his will of 7 Mar. 1656, Alexander, Miles, Josiah, and Charles, beside d. Lora. Of these last two, we kn. nothing, and if indulg. in conject. we might assume only, that both were old eno. to have been notic. in the ensuing days. He was constant. engag. in public serv. and for 19 yrs. was an assit. and had a mission ot London in 1625, where he could effect little on acco. of the raging of the plague, and early in the spring foll. he came back. Of his character, wh. partook, in no small degree, of the ancient heroic, Belknap in Americ. Biog. furnishes excellent illustr. and just anaysis. He d. 3 Oct. 1656. A copy of his will and inv. may be seen in Geneal. Reg. V. 335-8.

Col. of New Haven, where the Court wisely held, "that there was no proof that goodw. S. was a witch," mulct. L. to pay L10 to the h. for repar. of his w's name, and L5 for his trouble and cost. Happily in a later day the New Haven Col. pass. unharm. by the doleful delus. spread in Mass. by rampant vanity and insane apprehension.

Of course this Comfort of Boston might be thot. a differ. man from him of M.; yet he could hardly be that comfort, the gr. of Harv. But he may, in spite of Hinman, well be the Middletown man.

ISAAC, Watertown 1630, came prob. with Sir Richard Saltonstall in the fleet, was adm. freem. 18 May of next yr. tho. he may have been drawn thither as much by regard for Winthrop, since he was not a dist. neighb. of the Gov. in their native ld. He was of Neyland, Co. suffk. where his two eldest ch. were bapt.; Mary, 6 Jan 1627; and Ann, 5 Oct. 1628. Here by w. Mary (tho. Dr. Cogswell in Geneal. Reg.

But in Dr. Dond's Geneal, Reg. of W. tho. he notes this suffering of Bigelow, the name of Stebbins for many yrs. bef. had dispp. Of this name, in 1816, there had been gr. six at Yale, and one at Harv.

He was few yrs. at Wethersfield, made freem. 1654, yet I find not his name in the list of 1669, was a lieut. and in the early part of Philip's war com. the dragoons, but d. in Dec. 1675. JOHN, Cambridge, s. of Robert, m. 14 May 1666, Elizabeth Remington, d. of the first John, had John, b. 22 Aug. 1668; and Elizabeth wh. d. 15 July 1676; and he d. of smallpox, 24 Nov. 1678.

His wid. m. John Fox; and Ann m. Benjamin Lester. In our Reg. of Suffk. is a deed to him, of 23 Nov. 1671, from Wampas, an Ind. seaman of Boston, of 110 acres lying betw. Marlborough and Mendon; but I think the considerat. does not appear. Five of this name at Harv. and two at Yale had bene gr. in 1801. STEDWELL, STUDWELL, or STEADWELL, JOSEPH, Rye 1683, Greenwich 1697, resolv. therefore to hold to jurisdict. of Conn. THOMAS, Stamford 1667, d. 1670.

HENRY, Cambridge, nam. in Holmes's Hist. as of that town 1632, 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. p. 10; but as the name never appears again, I think he d. soon, or perhaps went home.

BENJAMIN, Andover, youngest s. of the first John of the same, was a capt. and magistr. d. 1730, without male issue. CYPRIAN, Lancaster, had come, a. 1660 from London, in his youth under 14 yrs. where his f.

Some of these ch. were, perhaps, not b. at L. for in he gr.

JOHN, Dover, of wh. no more is kn. but that he was on the list, 1662. He may have liv. 1668, at Marblehead to petitn. against imposts.

JOHN, Newbury, prob. s. of William of the same, m. 9 Mar. 1670, Mary, d. of the first Aquila Chase, had Mary, b. 6 Feb. 1671; Thomas, 3 July 1676, and perhaps rem. aft. being adm. freem. 1669, to Chelmsbord, for one of the name there d.

Joseph Willard, Yale 1714, min. of the town; when the others, Phineas, and Isaac, were by thwm carr. capt. to Canada. Phineas was much disting. for milit. serv. JOSIAH, Braintree, perhaps br. of the preced d. 19 June 1677. NATHAN, the first b. of Andover, d. there, Feb. 1719, says the rec. wh. calls him cornet; but I find not evid. of any w. or ch.

NATHANIEL, Guilford 1685-95, was s. of Wiliam, NICHOLAS, Charlestown, d. 17 May 1646, as Farmer says; but I doubt he was not long a resid. OBADIAH, Stamford eldest s. of Thomas of the same, had Thoams, b. 1679; Ephraim, 1681; and some others, of wh. or the mo. I hear not the names. RICHARD, Concord, perhaps that s. of Thomas, the London armorer, d. 1683. If my conject. be right, his wid. and only d. says Willard, in note to Barry, went home. RICAHRD, Taunton, had Richard, b. 23 Feb. 1670; Mary, 8 July 1672; Thomas, 3 Feb. 1675; Thomasin, 3 July 1677; Nathaniel, 30 July 1680; nam. 1689 as one of the inhab. to wh.

His wid Rebecca wh. m. 28 Feb. foll. Simon Orne, had admin. and d. Sarah is ment. SAMUEL, Marlborough, s. of Richard, perhaps brot. by his f. was a deac. early in eighteenth centu. THOMAS, Sudbury, may be the youth in the Abigail, from London, 1635, aged 12, perhaps s. of Thomas of London, the armorer, may have gone home and come again, with Cyprian, and was freem. 1665, by w. Mary had Ann, b. 20 Mar. 164; Thomas, 14 Apr. 1665; John, 23 Apr. 1667; Cyprian, 19 Apr. 1670; and Jacob, 1 Mary. 1674; was freem. 1665; and town clk.15 yrs.

THOMAS, Guilford 1650, s. of John of the same, prob. b. in Eng. rem. to Killingworth, or as by its first sett. call. from their native place in O. E. in 1665, Kenilworth, but why the name was degrad. to its mod. from is beyond the knowl. of any in the last three or four generat. yet easily conject.

JAMES, Plymouth, came in the Fortune 1621, prob. without w. or ch. as he has, in the div. of lds. 1624, only a single sh. and we may well suppose he had soon d. or rem. as in the div. of cattle, 1627, his name is not found among the 156, compos. the total populat. JAMES, Middlebury, L. I. 1656. JAMES, Weymouth, by w. Ann had Susanna, b. 23 May 1669; JAMES, 26 June 1672; and Ann, 22 Jan. 1675; possib. others earlier. JAMES, Norwalk 1687, eldest s. of Robert, was ens. in 1713. JAMES, Newbury, s. of Duncan, by w. Elizabeth had James, b. 29 July 1688; and Charles, 10 Jan. 1690. JOHN, Springfield, perhpas as early as 1650, m. Sarah, d. of the first John Stiles; sw. alleg. 1678, and d. 21 Apr. 1690. His wid. m. next yr. John Sacket of Northampton. JOHN, Newbury, perhaps s. of Alexnader, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 11 Dec. 1680, and his w. d. in few days; aft. wh. perhaps he rem. to Rowley. JOHN, Norwalk 1708, s. of Robert JOSEPH, Salisbury, by w. Mary had Joseph, b. 19 Dec. 1667. RICAHRD, by Farmer is ment. as of ar. co. 1652, but to me the exist. seems shadowy. ROBERT, Norwalk, mov. in from Milford, where he had not been long, buying est. in N. 1660, m. 12 June 1661, Bethia, d. of Thomas Rumball of Stratford, had James, b. 29 Mar. 1662; Abigail, Aug. 1666; John, 18 Mar. 1668; Deborah, May 1669; Elizabeth Sept. 1671; and Phebe, Feb. 1673, or 4; and was liv. 1687. From him descend. the late learned theolog. profess. Moses Stuart, tho. the degr. are less sure. WILLIAM, Lynn, d. 18 Mar. 1664, and his wid. Sarah ret. inv. 29 June foll. A capt. S. is nam. by Sewall, in his Diary, as d. early in Aug. 1693. Of the gr. historic name, the clan of Stuart, were Austin, Charles, Neil, and Robert, prisoners of war from the sad field of 3 Sept. 1651, at Worcester, Cromwell's crowning mercy, sent to Boston, where they arr. 13 May 1652, to be sold, but not to perpet. servit. as John Cotton gently suggests to Oliver. I can feel no doubt, that the gr. majority, betw. three quarters and nine tenths, d. of scurvy or broken heart; and not one in fifty of these young men left progeny. STICKNEY, or STICKNEE, AMOS, Newbury, was from Hull Co. York, s. of William, perhaps b. in Eng. is said to have been first at Boston, next at Rowley, of course, with his f. but at N. m. 24 June 1663, Sarah Morse, prob. d. of Anthony the first, had John, b. 23 June 1666; Andrew, Dec. 1667; Amos, 3 Aug. 1669; Joseph, 14 Apr. 1671; Benjamin, 4 Apr. 1673; Sarah, 19 Oct. 1674, d. next yr.; Hannah, 31 Mar. 1676; Moses, 26 Nov. 1677; and perhaps Sarah, again, posthum. sw. alleg. 25 May 1669, and he d. 29 Aug. 1678. His wid. m. 17 Dec. 1684, Stephen Acreman. ANDREW, Newbury, s. of the preced. by w. Rebecca had Rebecca, b. 16 Jan. 1693, and his w. d. a few days later; [[192]] but of him I find no more, exc. his tak. sec. w. Elizabeth eldest d. of sec. James Chute, and d. at Rowley 29 Apr. 1727. BENJAMIN, Rowley, br. of the preced. m. Mary Palmer, had six s. and done d. and d. 5 Mar. 1756. JOHN, Rowley, s. of William, m. Hannah, d. of that capt. Samuel Brocklebank, which was k. in Philip's war, had John, Samuel, and five ds. JOHN, Newbury, s. of Amos, m. 10 Dec. 1689, Mary Poor, d. prob. of sec. John of the same, had Mary, b. 1 July 1691; John, 30 July 1693; Sarah, 10 May 1696; Prudence, 15 Sept. 1699; and Joseph 19 Dec. 1700. * SAMUEL, Bradford, eldest s. of William b. in Eng. rep. 1689 and 90, m. 18 Feb. 1654, Julian, or Susan, d. of Richard Swan of Rowley, had four ch. of wh. I see the name of Samuel only, b. 5 Apr. 1663, at R. and aft. rem. to B. by sec. w. m. 6 Apr. 1674, Prudence Gage, wid. of Benjamin, and d. of Thomas Leaver, town clk. of R. by which he had three more ch. of wh. no names are kn. He was freem. 1682, and d. 1715, leav. wid. Prudence. SAMUEL, Bradford, eldest s. of the preced. was a man of good serv. as selectman, had w. Mary, and it is said, twelve, ch. of wh. I see not the names, exc. that the first s. was Thomas, bat. 1695; and that Sarah and Mary were also bapt. that yr.; Richard, 5 June 1709; Abraham and Jonathan, perhaps tw. 21 Jan. 1711; and Dorothy, 6 Apr. 1712. THOMAS, Newbury, s. of William, sw. alleg. 25 May 1669, was of Bradford, when freem. 1685. WILLIAM, Rowley, was adm. of Boston ch. 6 Jan. 1639, hav. come prob. the yr. preced. from Hull in Yorksh. and on 24 Nov. aft. was with others dism. to found the new ch. at R. was freem. 7 Oct. 1640, but prob. he brot. w. and one or more ch. from Eng. His w. was Elizabeth and of the ch. are kn. Samuel; John, b. 1640; Andrew, 1644; Thomas, 1646; Mary; Faith; and Mercy; beside the first ment. Amos; and he d. 15 Jan. 1665. but the order of success. is uncert. and perhaps he had other ch. than Farmer could tell. Faith m. 10 June 1674, at Bradford, Samuel Gage, and an Elizabeth S. m. 21 July 1680, also at B. Daniel Tenny. STILEMAN, or STYLEMAN, ELLIAS, Salem, an early sett. even as Felt suggests, may have come in the fleet wiht Higginson, 1629, prob. brot. s. Elias, but of his w. Judith we hear no more; freem. 3 July 1632, licens. to keep an ordinary in 1635, when he was constable, gave up prob. that employm. in 1653, and was made clk. of the Court for the Co. and d. 1662. His inv. was tak. 7 Nov. of that yr. A very dilig. inquir. in Essex Inst. II. 163, is confid. that he d. bef. June 1639, tho. he states that the inv. was not brot. in bef. Nov. 1663. Yet, as E. S. jr. appears in many appraisem. 1653 and aft. I doubt much. * ELIAS, Salem, perhaps s. of the preced. b. a. 1617, adm. of the ch. 18 Aug. 1639, and freem. 18 May 1642, ahd Elias, bapt. 15 Mar. 1640; and Elizabeth hw. m. a. 1687, John Jordan; was of ar. co. 1645, rem. perhaps not bef. 1663 to Portsmouth; m. sec. w. 10 Apr. 1667, Ruth Maynard, had Ruth, wh. m. 5 Sept. 1687, William, Buswell or Bussell. In the list of [[193]] early sett. of N. E. pr. Geneal. Reg. I. 139, E. S. is by mistake call. constable of Boston 1673. The name of seven chos. that yr. to that office have only Skarlet and Shrimpton of that initial fam. letter, and not one Elias. He was almost always in office; was rep. 1667 and five yrs. more, a counsel; under Presid. Cutt, or Gov. Cranfield, 1681 or 2 a capt. and major, rep. again 1690, and d. 19 Dec. 1695, aged 78. RICHARD, Cambridge, by w. Hannah had Samuel, b. 23 May 1644, bapt. at Salem, 20 July 1651, he hav. rem. thither, and soon aft. to Portsmouth, where by w. Mary were b. Mary, 6 Jan. 1658; Elizabeth 8 May 1663; Sarah, 30 June 1665; and Richard, 20 Mar. 1668; and d. 11 Oct. 1678. Prob. he as br. of the preced. tho. sometimes the name is print. Stillman. STILES, or STYLES, BENAJMIN, Woodbury, s. of Francis, m. Elizabeth Rogers of Milford, perhaps d. of Eleazer, had Sarah, bapt. May 1683; Thomas, Nov. 1685, prob. d. bef. his f.; Ruth; Abigail, Apr. 1689; and Francis; rem. to Stratford, there d. 13 Apr. 1711, and his wid. d. 13 June 1719. EPHRAIM, Stratford, eldest s. of Francis, freem. 168, m. 8 July 1669, Ruth, wid. of Obadiah Wheeler, and afterwards m. Bathsheba Tomlinson, d. of Henry, by wh. he had, and left, at his d. 21 June 1714, three ds.; Elizabeth b. 18 Feb. 1687; Sarah, 4 Nov. 1693; and Phebe, 25 Mar. 1696; wh. all m. His est. was large. EPHRAIM, Springfield, s. of John the sec. m. 1694, Abigail Neal, d. of Edward of Westfield, had Rachel, b. 21 May 1695; Issac, 6 Oct. 1696; Ephraim, 5 Dec. 1699; Abigail, 15 Mar. 1704, d. young; and Hannah 31 July 1708. FRANCIS, Windsor 1636, one of the first freem. of Conn. 1640, had come from London, where he was a carpenter, early in the yr. preced. aged 35, in the Christian, and sat down short tme at Dorchester. Prob. he was s. of Thomas of Milbrook, near Ampthill in Co. Bedford, bapt. 1 Aug. 1602, wh. makes us presume, that the age of the London rec. should be 33, as the reg. of the parish certif. to me by the min. in 1842, deserves much higher credit than that of the custom h. I presume to brot. w. Rahcel, unless she was sis. aged 28 , but two ws. and two ch. beside the four brs. in the same sh. are diffic. to be approp. Cothren, p. 694, makes him, from fam. tradit. to be engag. in prepar. of a park for Richard Saltonstall, not Sir Richard, wh. is a mistake, for Suffk. reg. of deeds. Vol. I. 98, has the release of all demands by him up to date of Sept. 1647, as well against Sir Richard, as s. Robert. He work. I suppose under direct. of Robert, wh. was less judicious than his elder br. He made over to Robert Saltonstall, by deed dat. 22 Sept. 1647 all his lds. at W. includ. 1500 acr. in one parcel on the E. side of the riv. but the debt exceed the val. He than calls hims. of Saybrook, yet bec. three of his four s. were aft. at Stratford. [[194]] Cothren tells, tha the rem. a. 1640 to Stratford, wh. must be sev. yrs. too early (as tradit. oft. is), for Ephraim was b. at W. 3 Aug. 1645, and his is the only b. found in the old rec. He was never of S. and he prob. at W. d. 1653, or earlier. of childr. he had Ephraim, Samuel, Benjamin, Thomas, Hannah, and Mary, wh. m. Hope Washburn of Derby; Hannah m. Edward Hinman. Her mo. was Sarah, as Hinman, 141, tells. She m. Robert Clark of Stratford, and by her will of 5 June 1677 left little prop. to disp. among her ch. the inv. of 2 Feb. 1682, showing only L85. HENRY, Windsor, eldest br. of the preced. bapt. 27 Nov. 1593, at Milbrook, near Ampthill in Co. Bedford, a carpenter, adm. to be citizen of London on 2d Tuesday of Apr. 1632, emb. in the Christian, at London, Mar. 1635, aged 40, says the London custom ho. rec. with John, Thomas, and Francis, his brs. also, and went with the earliest migrat. from Dorchester, where he could have liv. but few mos. was never m. is nam. on the first page of Conn. rec. as hav. trad. a musket with an Ind. in Apr. 1636, which he as direct. to regain. He was k. by casual shot of a gun in a milita. train, Cothren from the fam. mem. says, 3 Oct. 1651. HENRY, Windsor, s. of John, brot. by his f. in the Christian 1635, at age of 3 yrs. freem. 1669; had ch. wh. d. with the mo. whose name in the Stiles MS. is call. Ketch, of Stratford; and for sec. w. he m. 16 Apr. 1663, Elizabeth Wilcockson, prob. d. of William had Elizabeth b. 30 Nov. 1664; Margaret, 6 Feb. 1667; Mary, 28 Sept. 1669; Mindwell, 19 Dec. 1671, wh. d. bef. 13 yrs.; and Samuel, 16 May 1674. To these Cothren adds Henry, wh. was the first b. Joseph, Benjamin, John, and Jonathan, but without desirab. dates of b. tho. of some he gives day of d. and approxim. of age, and says the f. d. 22 Aug. 1724, aged 95, wh. is perhaps less exagger. than usual, not more than three yrs. to large. ISAAC, Stratford, s. of John the first, of Windsor, liv. first at Wethersfield 1665, and when freem. 1670, had, says Cothren, from Presdt. Stiles's MSS. Isaac, b. 1663; John; Joseph; Jonatahn, 20 Mar. 1688; Sarah; Lydia or Deborah; and Hannah; but he is not able to inform us of the name of the mo. or dates of sev. ch. JOHN, Windsor, s. of Thomas, bapt. at Milbrook, Co. Bedford, 25 Dec. 1595, came with his brs. Francis, Henry, and Thomas, in the Christian from London, Mar. 1635, tho. his age in the custom ho. rec. is call. 35, wh. I judge to be liable to correct. by exchange. the yrs. of Henry and John; he also brot. w. prob. Jane, aged 35; and s. Henry, 3 yrs. and John, 9 mos. Of course he first liv. at Dorchester or Boston, and prob. rem. with others of D. by ld. to Conn. Beside the ch. he brot. from Eng. he ahd Issac, and Sarah, and d. 4 June 1662. His wid. whose name is not kn. d. 3 Sept. 1674. Cothren says his will was of 30 May 1662. Sarah m. first, John Stewart of Springfield next 1691, 1691, John Sackett of Westfield. Fam. tradit. [[195]] claims for the w. of John, that she was the first Eng. woman that ever stept ashore at Conn. wh. is as reasonab. as the similar stories for Mary Chilton at Plymouth, and Ann Pollard at Boston. But the Story of Stiles is far less prob. JOHN, Windsor, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. m. 28 Oct. 1658, Dorcas, d. perhaps youngest, of Henry Burt of Springfield, had Sarah b. 12 Sept. 1661; Hannah, 12 Mar. 1664; John, 10 Dec. 1665; beside Ephraim and Thomas, not rec. was freem. 1668, and d. 8 Dec. 1683. Hannah m. 21 Jan. 1687, Samuel Bliss of Springfield; and Sarah m. 1 or 5 May 1681, Ephraim Bancroft, and next, Thomas Phillips. JOHN, Windsor, eldest s. of the preced. m. Ruth Bancroft, had Ruth, b. 5 Feb. 1691; John, 17 Dec. 1692; Margaret, 23 Feb. 1695; Isaac, 30 July 1697; Ebenezer, 7 Apr. 1701; Noah, 31 Jan. 1703; Abel, d. soon; Hannah, and ano. tw. both d. soon, as had a pair tw. some yrs. bef.; Abel, again, 5 or 10 Mar. 1709; Hannah, again, 9 Oct. 1711; and Benoni, 1714, d. soon. He was gr.f. of Rev. Ezra, disting, equal. for his extensive crudit. and amiable credulity, wh. was b. 29 Dec. 1727, eldest ch. of Isaac, and only one by w. Kezia, d. of Rev. Edward Taylor of Westfield, wh. d. five days aft. The chronology of too many of the fourteen ch. belong. to John, is so strangely confus. in Cothren, 697, that it defies restorat. JOHN, Boxford, freem. 1690, may have been s. of Robert of the same; but certain. Dorchester 1692, perhaps was s. of Robert of the same; but certain. is beyond reach, and all that can be kn. is, that his w. was Mary, that he had John, Joseph, Elizabeth Mary, Nathaniel, and Nehemiah, of wh. Joseph, Mary, and Nathaniel d. of smallpox in the fatal season of Jan. 1721-2. ROBERT, Boxford, m. 4 Oct. 1660, Elizabeth d. of John Frye of Andover; was of Rowley 1661, but perhaps rem. to Dorchester, where I find one of this name 1663, yet in my opin. this Dorchester man was older than him of B. possib. but not prob. was s. of John the first; and inscript. on gr. stone is of his d. 2 Nov. 1710, and age, a. 91, that may seem something too high. SAMUEL, Stratford, br. of Benjamin, in the freem's list of 1669, m. 31 Dec. 1664, says Cothren, Elizabeth Sherwood, but d. childless, prob. bef. 1682, as in 1673 he had agreed with others to begin the sett. of Woodbury, and was not in the list of 1682. THOMAS, youngest br. of Francis, Henry, and John, came in the same ship with them, aged 20, says the custom ho. rec. but that of his bapt. 7 Feb. 1613, in the native parish, would give him two yrs. more. yet it would be of higher interest, to kn. where he liv. on our side of the water, and what could be told of him, beyond the single fact, that, at the assault on the Pequods in their last shelter of the swamp, 1637, he was shot, but not hurt, by an arrow strik. in his neckerchief. See Mason's hist. of that war. He may have been of Windsor, but it is at least equal. prob. that he was of Dorchester, neither town hav. proof or presumpt. in its favor. Had he [[196]] left descend. one might hope to hear of the birth-place of the ch. Some slight note is seen in Stile's MSS. indeed that he went to Flushing, L. I. had two ds. no s. THOMAS, Stratford, s. of Francis, had w. wh. d. bef. him, but no ch. and he d. early in 1683. THOMAS, Windsor, youngest s. of John the sec. m. Bethia Hanmer, d. perhaps of John of Scituate, as the fam. tradit. may indicate, had no ch. and d. 1745. Eleven, of this name had been gr. at Yale, in 1851, and one at Harv. STILLMAN, * GEORGE, Hadley, m. 1686, Rebecca, d. of the first Philip Smith, had George, b. 1686; Rebecca, 14 Jan. 1688; Mary, 12 July 1689; Nathaniel, 1 July 1691; John, 19 Feb. 1693; Sarah, 28 Dec. 1694; Martha, 28 Nov. 1696; Ann, 6 Apr. 1699; Elizabeth 19 Oct. 1700; Hannah, and Lydia, tw. 7 Nov. 1702; and Benjamin, 29 July 1705; all at H. of wh. town he as rep. 1698; rem. to Wethersfield, where he was a promin. merch. and d. 17 Nov. 1728, in his 74th yr.

VINCENT, Marblehead, call, junr. in the sign. of petitn. of inhabs. of M. 1668, may have been s. of the preced. STIMPSON, or STIMSON, ANDREW, Cambridge, by w.

Abigail were bapt. had also Andrew, bapt. 18 Feb. foll. d. young; Mary, 26 Oct. 1684; Andrew, b. 9 Jan. 1686, d. very soon; John, bapt. 16 Jan. 1687; Bethia, 23 Mar. 1690; Benjamin, 18 Sept. 1692, d. under 30 yrs; Joseph, 22 Dec. 1695; Lydia, 22 Aug. 1697; and Joseph, 18 Feb. 1700; and d. says bond, 14 Dec. 1721, aged 72. GEORGE, Ipswich 1668, m. 22 July 1676, Alice Phillips, had George, b. 17 Aug. 1677, d. within one yr.; Richard, 10 Mar. 1679; Elizabeth 11 Jan. 1681; Mercy, 11 Mar. 1683; Alice, 18 Feb. 1685; Sarah, 14 June. 1691; John, 27 Aug. 1694; and Mary, 4 Mar. 1696. JOHN, the freem. of 1645 I can assign to no resid. JOHN, Charlestown, with w. Abigail join. the ch. 22 Feb. 1685, and had John, Joseph, Benjamin, Jonathan, Abigail, Susanna, and Deborah, all bapt. the Sunday foll. JONATHAN, Watertown, m. a. 1673, Elizabeth d. of Joshua Stubbs of the same, had [[197]] James, his eldst; Jonathan, b. 8 Aug. 1675; Abigail; Mary; Elizabeth 31 Jan. 1681; Samuel, 15 Feb. 1683; Rebecca, bapt. 7 Nov. 1686; Joseph, 24 May 1688; and Benjamin, 24 Apr. 1690; by sec. w. Abigail he had John; was freem. 1690, and d. 22 Dec. 1692. Bond thinks he was br. of sec. Andrew. JONATHAN, Charlestown, with w. Wait, join. the ch. 22 Feb. 1685, had Jonathan, bapt. on Sunday foll. JOSEPH, Dover 1665-75, by Mr. Quint, a good judge of the case, is thot. to be Stevenson. STINT. See Stent. STIRK, GEORGE, the gr. of Harv. 1646, is all unkn. to us by f. and mo. br. sis. or friend, but W. Winthrop on his Catal. had quot. from MS. of Rev. Andrew Eliot, "that Mr. S. was an emin. chemist, and wrote sev. Latin treatis." As he did not have his A. M. we may presume he went to Eng. early; and that he was d. 1698 is almost our whole rec. of his life. But it is highly prob. that the true name was Starkey, wh. see. STOCKBRIDGE, BENAJMIN, Scituate, s. of Charles the first, m. 1701, Mary Tilden, had Benjamin, b. 1704, a physician of emin. and perhaps other ch. CHARLES, Scituate, s. of John, brot. from Eng. by his f. in the Blessing at the age of 1 yr. liv. first at Boston, wheelwright, and by w.

CHARLES, Scituate, eldest s. of the preced. had Rachel, b. 9 Apr. 1690; Mary, 11 Aug. 1692; Abigail, 22 Mar. 1695; Hannah, 30 Jan. 1698; Ruth, 30 July 1700; Experience, 1 Jan. 1704; Judith, 19 July 1706; and Charles, 13 Oct. 1709, d. prob. in few mos. as may, perhaps, one or more other s. He was one of the first selectmen of the new town of Hanover, sett. off from S. 1727, and d. it is thot. 7 Apr. 1731. JOHN, Scituate, wheelwright, came in the Blessing from London 1635, aged 27, with w. Ann, 21, and s. Charles, 1; there his w. join. the ch. 16 July 1637, and had Hannah, bapt. 24 Sept. foll.; and Elizabeth bapt. at Boston, 10 July 1642; m. a sec. w. 1643, wid.

I would gladly have copies their names and dates, but the informat. is not giv. From the rec. we find the d. of his w. 20 Apr. 1689 "murd. by her h." whence it is safer to conclude, that he was insane. HUGH, Warwick, m. Abigail, a d. of Peter Bassaker, or Busicot, as the R. I. rec. gives the name, had Peter, b. 14 Mar. 1672 or 3; and Abigail, 10 Feb. 1678 or 9. He was in 1666 styl. "late serv. to John Paine of Boston." ISAAC, Salem, had a brick kiln 1692. JOHN, the capt. of violent temper, wh. in Sept. 1633, was forbit by our Court to come again within this jurisdict. on pain of d. and soon aft. was k. by the Pequods. He belong. to Virg. yet our people made this one of the provoca. to the war, in wh. that tribe was destroy. tho. much stronger was the incitem. caus. by later acts of those Ind. JOHN, Salem 1636, kept the ferry accorss Bass riv. at the earlierst day, ahd gr. of ld. 1637, was one of the found. of the Beverly ch. 23 June 1667, then call, sen. wherefore it may be that he had s. of the same name, and perhaps other ch. Possib. he was passeng. in the Elizabeth 1635, from London, when custom ho. marks the age of the person, 40. JOHN, with his w. admonish. (by our Court) to "make bigger bread" in 1639, may have, soon aft. such hint, rem. from Mass. * JOHN, Cambridge, s. of deac. Gregory, b. in Eng. came with his f. m. Ann, d. of Elder Edward Howe of Watertown, had Hannah, b. 6 June 1640; John, date of whose b. or d. is unkn. but he is thot. to be the eldst s. yet, unform of mind, was subj. to the care of his younger brs.; Daniel, 31 Aug 1644; David, 31 Oct. 1646; Mary; Elizabeth; Margaret, 22 Oct. 1653; Tabitha, 20 or 29 May 1655; Sarah 22 Sept. 1657; and Nathaniel, 11 May 1660; was freem. 1665, than call. of Watertown, and yet one of the earliest sett. of Sudbury 1640, where most of these ch. were b. and there he was Elder of the ch. but prob. in the gr. Ind. war rem. to Cambridge, again, and was its rep. 1682, and 3, and d. 5 May in this latter yr. His will of 16 Apr. preced. calls him aged a. 64 yrs. abstr. in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 145, provides for wid. and the ten ch. Hannah m. 1 July 1658 the sec. John Bent of Marlborough; Mary m. 1665, Isaac Hunt, and next, 30 Sept. 1681, as his sec. w. Eliphalet Fox; Elizabeth m. Samuel Stow; Margaret m. 11 Jan. 1676, William Brown; Tabitha m. 2 or 27 (both dates giv. by Barry) Nov. 1674, John Rice; and Sarah m. Jacob Hill. JOHN, Hartford, an orig. propr. perhaps is he to wh. the Conn. Governm. in 1668, gr. 100 accres. But he had rem. early to found in 1639 the orig. compact at Guilford, there by w. Mary had John, b. 14 Aug. 1644; Samuel, 6 Dec. 1646; Nathaniel, 5 Feb. 1648; Thomas, 5 June 1650; and Noah, 1652, wh. d. unm. 3 or 4 yrs. bef. his f. wh. d. a. 1687. He, with [[206]] William s., is among the freem. of Guilford 1669. JOHN, Sudbury, by w. Ann had Hannah, b. 6 June 1640. JOHN, Boston, by w. Mary had Sarah, b. 16 Sept. 1659; and he d. soon, as may seem, for his wid. Mary S. at B. m. 23 Nov. foll. Roger Wheeler. JOHN, Hull, in his will of 5 May 1659, pro. 27 Jan. 1664, leav. to w. Joan all his real and pers. est. she to pay L60 to the three ch. of his br. Simon wh. had liv. at Cothelstone in Co. somerset, a. 6 miles N. or Taunton, so that it would be infer. that he had no ch. and had come from the pt. of Eng. JOHN, Hull, call. sen. in May 1666, when he sold a house lot, so that perhaps he had s. of the same name. JOHN, Watertown, s. of Simon the first, b. in Eng. prob. brot. in his mo.'s arms in the Increase from London 1635, being 5 wks. old, when emb. 15 Apr. yet bond says the W. rec. marks him b. 15 Aug. perhaps by blunder. By w. Sarah he had Sarah; Joanna, b. 11 Jan. 1665; John, 15 Dec. 1666; Ann, 8 Aug. 1668; Mary, 14 Sept. 1670; Elizabeth 5 May 1672; Samuel, 14 Feb. 1675; Hepzibah, 5 May 1677; Deborah, 25 Feb. 1680; and Rebecca, 22 Aug. 1682; was a deac. and d. 26 Mar. 1691.

Philip's war, or certain. was in Mar. 1692 asign. to partic. garrison in one pt. and by w. Sarah had John, b. 23 Sept. 1699; and James, 23 Jan. 1701. JOHN, Watertown, s. of John of the same, b w.

Simon, m. 15 Nov. 1699 Ruth, d. of Samuel Eddy, had Jonathan, b. 1702. His w. d. 7 or 13 Oct. of that yr. Bond gives both dates, and by sec. w.

Mary had Joseph, Mary, Adams, and Rachel. [[207]] The dates of neither are giv. by Barry or Bond, yet they interchange priority betw. 2d and 3d. He d. at S. of wh. he was deac. and his will was pro. 9 Aug. 1743. NATHANIEL, Beverly, perhaps s. of John of the same, may have been of Ipswich 1648, and was freem. 1668 He may have been the same, wh. by w. Mary, had at Boston, Nathaniel, b. 25 Mar. 1664. NATHANIEL, Guilford, s. of John of the same, was made freem. 1677, m. 10 July 1673, Mary, d. of George Bartlett of the same, had Joseph, b. 11 June 1674; Ebenezer, 21 Aug. 1676; Nathaniel, 7 Oct. 1678; Ann, 29 Jan. 1681, d. at 3 yrs.; Caleb, 26 Mar. 1683, d. next yr.; Caleb, again, 10 Nov. 1685; Noah, 9 Nov. 1687, d. under 16 yrs.; John, 7 Oct. 1689, d. bef. 10 yrs; Ann, again , 17 June 1692; and Timothy, 16 Mar. 1696; and d. 11 Aug. 1709. His wid. d. 1724. NATHANIEL, Cambridge, s. of John of the same, m. 25 Apr. 1684, Sarah Wait of Malden, perhaps d. of Hon.

NATHANIEL, Harwich, s. of Simon the sec. m. 15 Dec. 1698, Reliance, youngest ch. of Gov. Hinckley, and this union prob. led him to be first min. of that town, where a ch. was gath. 1700; ord. 16 Nov. 1700, bef. wh. Mather's Hecatompolis would persuade us he had three sev. flocks at once. He had Hannah; Nathan, b. 18 Feb. 1708, H. C. 1726; Nathaniel; Mary; Reliance; Thankful; and four other ds. but of the last eight ch. no dates are found; and he d. 8 Feb. 1755, aged 88. His wid. d. 24 May 1759. NICHOLAS, Boston, by w. Hannah, had Hannah, b. 8 Jan. 1652; Josiah, 4. Feb. 1654; Hopestill, 7 Jan. 1656; Abigail, 20 Nov. 1658; Elizabeth 25 Sept. 1661; Benjamin, 17 Feb. 1664; was a shipwright, and perhaps rem. Barry says that his d. Mary m. 1671 Isaac Johnson of Charlestown; but such d. is not kn. by me. PETER, Warwick, s. of Hugh of the same, m. 25 June 1696, Elizabeth d. of John Shaw, had Elizabeth b 25 Mar. 1697; Peter, 22 Oct. 1698; Sarah, 17 Feb. 1700; Abigail, 15 Sept. 1701; Priscilla, 2 Feb. 1703; and John, 29 Sept. 1704. RICHARD, Hatfield, k. by the Ind. 19 Oct. 1675. ROBERT, Salem 1652, perhaps br. perhaps s. of John of the same, by w. Sarah had Samuel, b. 23 Jan. 1658; Robert, 24 Jan. 1662; Benjamin, 28 Feb. 1665; and others, says Barry, but names them not. One was Sarah, 28 Feb. 1668. In Nov. 1660, as Felt, II. 583, tells, his w. was prosecut. as a Quaker, but the sentence in her case was not, we may hope, that she should be hang. or sold for a slave to the W. I. as in sev. other instances. Prob. both d. in their beds in advanced age. ROBERT, Salem, s. prob. of the preced. m. 27 Aug. 1685, Hannah Eager, had Elizabeth b. 16 Aug. foll. d. in few mos.; and Robert, 4 Mar. 1688; and d. 1688, and his w. d. 17 Apr. 1691, aged 29, as by the gr. stones we learn. SAMUEL, Hartford, was, it is said, b. at [[208]] Hertford in Co. Herts (a. 20 ms. from London), usually sound. Hartford, and tradit. tells that the city in Conn. out of regard to him was thus nam.; perhaps younger br. of Gregory, and of Simon, certain. bred at Emanuel, where he was matric. 1620, and took his degrees 1623 and 7, came in 1633, with Cotton, Hooker, and other men of note, passen. embark. at the Downs, in the Griffin, arr. 4 Sept. at Boston, went with Hooker to Cambridge, where 11 Oct. next he was made teacher and H. pastor of the ch. and adm. freem. 14 May foll. in 1636 rem. with Hooker, and they found. the ch. of H. there with univers. accept. they fulfill. the same duties as bef. at C. and in the Pequot war, 1637, he was chapl. to the troops under Capt. Mason. Aft. the d. of our judicious Hooker, he had a sad controversy with some of his people, equally bitter and unintelligib. of wh. Mather thot. the origin undiscov. But aft. many yrs. of fruitless attemps at reconcil. Gov. Webster and many frinds of influence rem. up the riv. beyond the rancor, and S. d. 20 July 1663. He had sec. w. m. 1641, Elizabeth Allen at Boston, by her had Samuel and Elizabeth and three ch. were of former one, Rebecca, Mary, and Sarah. The whole five are ment. in his will. More than one fifth of his inv. was in books. It ought to be told, that the town rec. has other ch. Joseph, bapt. 18 Oct. 1646; Lydia, 22 Jan. or Feb. 1648; a s. bapt. 29 Apr. 1649, w. may be the Samuel of the will; and Abigail, b. 9 Sept. 1650; but prob. all exc. Samuel, and Elizabeth wh. must be the same as Lydia, or Abigail of the town rec. d. early. His wid. m. Mr. George Gardner, of Salem, outliv. him, and d. late in 1681. Her will of 6 June pro. 4 Jan. foll. names her own two ch. Samuel, and Elizabeth wh. had been w. of William Sedgwick, was aft. many yrs. of neglect, divorc. from him, m. John Roberts, had s. John, wh. in this will was provid. for by his gr.mo. She names her ds.-in-law, the ch. of his first w. Rebecca, w. of Timothy Nash of Hadley; Mary, w. of Joseph Fitch of Windsor; and Sarah, w. of Thomas Butler of Hartford. SAMUEL, Hartford, only s. of the preced. was much respect. in Conn. and qualif. to assist Gershom Bulkley, in 1676, at Wethersfield, in his work of the ministry, while giv. his devot. to the other work of Surgeon to the forces in the Ind. war. He also preach. at Wethersfield, Middletown, and other places, was never m. nor sett. but he had liberal gr. of ld. by the legisl. of Conn. for his f.'s services, bec. very intemper. in 1678 and 80 was punish. by fines for drunk. "given over to the power" of that evil habit and d. 8 Oct. 1683, by falling down the bank of the riv. on the rocks. SAMUEL, Cambridge, fourth s. of Gregory, prob. b. in Eng. freem. 1657, was m. 7 June 1665 to Sarah, d. of the first Isaac Stearns, had Samuel, b. 1 Oct. 1656; Isaac; both bapt. says the Reg. of matchless Mitchell, tho. it gives not their dates; and Isaac prob. d. young; Sarah, 5 Feb. bapt.

SAMUEL, Concord, freem. 1682. SAMUEL, Beverly, perhaps s. of John of the same, m. Elizabeth d. of Zechariah Herrick, but the date of her b. is giv. by Barry, as that of m.; had Samuel, b. 15 Jan. 1685; Robert, 7 Jan. 1687; Elizabeth 1 Feb. 1689; Catharine, 15 Apr. 1691; Mary, 21 Feb. 1693, wh. d. in few ds.

Frances, 16; Ann, 11; Simon, 4; Mary, 3; and John, 5 wks.; bec. freem. 25 May 1636, deac. had b. here, Elizabeth 5 Apr. 1639; took sec. w. a. 1654, Sarah, wid. of Richard Lumpkin of Ipswich, from wh. it may be presum. that he had acquaintance with her bef. they came from Eng. and as her h. had come from Boxted in Essex, perhaps S. was of that Co. Ano. infer. may be, that his w. Jane had not long been d. This w. by her contract of m. was permit. to make a will to dispose of her prop. of wh. a full abstr. is in Geneal. Reg. VIII. She d. in 1663, and he d. 22 Sept. 1665, aged 80. Frances m. Rev. Henry Green; Ann, perhaps, m. Lewis Jones; and in his will of 7 Sept. preced. pro. next mo. only ch. nam. are Simon, John, Frances, and Mary. Abstr. is in Geneal. Reg. III. 182. SIMON, Watertown s. of the preced. b. in Eng. freem. 1653, m. says Barry, Mary Whipple, d. I find, of John of Ipswich, had John, b. 23 July 1658; Matthew, 6 Feb. 1660; Nathaniel, 22 Feb. 1662, d. in two days; Ebenezer, 27 Feb. 1663; Mary, 6 Jan. 1665; Nathaniel, again, a. 1667, H.

His sur name is misprint. in Geneal. Reg. XI. 76, as Stowe. He was town clk. selectman, and rep. 1679-86, and again, aft. the overthrow of Sir E. Andros, in 1689 and 90, and d. 27 Feb. 1708; and his wid. d. 2 June 1720, aged 86. Mary m. Comfort Starr of Dedham; Elizabeth m. deac. Isaac Stearns; and Susanna m. June 1697, Edward Goddard. SIMON, Groton, s. of thee preced. one of the orig. props. yet perhaps not actu. sett. bef. Philip's war, but in Mar. 1692 had long eno. been there to be assign. as also, John, wh. I judge to be his br. in the distrib. of garrisons [[210]] against Ind. hostil. by w. Sarah had, prob. Simon, not rec.; Susanna, b. 23 Oct. 1694; Isaac, 4 May 1697; and Benjamin, 12 Aug. 1706; beside Hannah, wh. d. 27 Sept. 1723; and Lydia, wh. d. three days aft. of wh. the b. of neither is found. by Butler.

Hannah had William, b. a 1642; Hannah a. 1644; Benajah, a. 1647; beside Samuel, wh. d. 1675; but this may have been by his sec. w. m. 1659, Mary, w. of Richard Hughes of G. He d. Nov. 1683.

He was propound. 1669, for freem. and d. 28 Sept. 1730. Of a sec. w. Mary we kn. not the date. Of this name, in 1834, Farmer marks thirteen had been gr. at Harv. six at Yale, and seventeen at the rest of the N. E. coll. STONHILL, HENRY, Milford 1639-46, soon aft. went home, tak. dism. from the ch. of M. which he had join. with, 1641, to Thomas Goodwin's ch. in London. STORER, BENJAMIN, Wells, perhaps s. of William, was k. by the Ind. Apr. 1677. JOSEPH, Wells, br. of the preced. sw. alleg. and was ensign 1680, rep. 1681, and 5, a man of distinct. and energy in the Ind. wars; by w.

SAMUEL, Wells, br. of Joseph, was disting. in the defence against French and Ind. of their position, common. call.

But prob. aft. peace he went again to Maine. WILLIAM, an early sett. in Maine, had Joseph, Jeremia, Samuel, and [[211]] Benjamin. Farmer in his MS. had mark. that six of this name had been gr. at Harv. and five at Bowd. in 1834. STORES, in mod. times STORRS, CORDIAL, Mansfield, youngest ch. of the first Samuel, m. 15 Dec. 1724, Hannah, d. of Thomas Wood of Rowley, had Jabez, b. 26 July 1725, d. next yr.; Cordial, 3 Jan. 1728; Hannah, 15 Apr. 1732; and Mehitable, 15 Apr. 1737; and he had sec. w. m. 10 Oct. 1765 Catharine, wid. of Zecariah Bicknell of Ashford. SAMUEL, Barnstable, is said to have come from Sutton in Nottinghamsh. but as there are four parishes of that name in the Co. we may be uncert. wh. is meant.

Farmer's MS. show that, in 1834 there had, of this name been gr. nine at Yale, eight at Dart. and six at other N. E. coll. of wh. one at Harv. STORKE, JOHN, Rowley, m. prob. betw. 1660 and 70 Mercy, d. of the first Thomas Nelson of the same. SAMUEL, Lynn 1677. STORY, ANDREW, Ipswich 1639 may be the youth sentenc. to be whip. Sept. Court, 1635, for run. from his master, and aft. had serv. in the expedit. against the Pequots two yrs. later. AUGUSTUS, or AUGUSTINE Exeter 1639, had the yr. bef. been of Boston, and join. with John Wheelwright of Exeter (wh. was banish. 1637, from Mass.), in purchase, 3 Apr. 1638, from the sagamore Piscataqua, of a large tract, thirty miles square, of wh. authentic copy may be seen in N. H. Hist. Coll. I. He is call. of Boston, as well as Samuel Hutchinson, ano. grantee, br.-in-law of Wheelwright, therein nam. of Piscataqua. But how this person spell. his name is very uncert. varying from Star, thro.

WILLIAM, Ipswich, s. prob. of first William, freem. 1671, m. 25 Oct. of that yr. Susanna Fuller, had Elizabeth b. 14 Oct. 1672. Six of this name had in 1845 been gr. at Harv. But the disting. jurisconsult, late of the Supreme Ct. of the U. S.

STOTT, EDWARD, Wethersfield, by Hinman, 165, rank. among early sett. aft. 1640; tho. in my opin. the name as mistak. by him for Scott, as c and t are in old handwriting frequently read for ea. other. STOUGHTON, ISREAL, Dorchester, a man of prop. and distinct. came, I presume, in 1632, when is found the earliest ment. of him, was adm. freem. 5 Nov. of the yr. foll. rep. at the first and sec. Gen. Court 1634 and 5, when he was ens. but at this latter was disabl. from hold. any office in three yrs. for writ. a book, that gave offence, wh. against the natural yearn. of authors, he desir. "might forthwith be burnt;" was restor. in 1636 to his former capacity, was rep. again in Dec. 1636, and Apr. foll. and when the antinomian excitem. against Wheelwright, Cotton, and Mrs. Hutchinson was high, in May 1673, had command of the Mass. force sent against the Pequots, ar. co. 1638, and capt 1642; and bec. an Assist. in wh. place, by ann. elect. he contin. until he went home, and in 1644 aft. he had gone.

His will made at London, 17 July 1644, of wh. abstr. may be read in Geneal. Reg. IV. 51, w. Elizabeth Extr. provides well for his w. s.

ISRAEL, Dorchester, eldest s. of the preced. was, perhaps, of ar. co. 1645, and is not more ment. He was d. bef. May 1665. ISRAEL, s. of the sec. Thomas, was liv. in 1700, when his sis. Elizabeth Eliot, gave him £200. Stiles, 807, gives him many ch. bef. 1732, but aft. 1713 I see reason to fear, from comparison with his p. 539, that he was 21 yrs. older than his w. JOHN, Windsor, br. of preced. .m. 11 Aug. 1682, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Bissell of the same, had John, b. 16 Oct. 1683, and [[214]] William, 10 Mar. 1686. His w. d. 17 July 1688, and he m. 23 Jan. 1690 Sarah Fitch, had Elizabeth b. 19 Feb. 1693, wh. three ch. are nam. in the will of their aunt Elizabeth Eliot, 1700. Aft. wh. he had Nathaniel, 23 June 1702, and d. 24 May 1712. NICHOLAS, of New Eng. in the Geneal. of Sir Nicolas S. Geneal. Reg. V. 350 is, I doubt, a misnomer, perhaps for the first Israel. Yet a Nicholas of later date there certain. was, wh. liv. at Taunton, at least there m. 17 Feb. 1674, Elizabeth Knapp, wh. may have been d. of Aaron, and there had Hannah, b. 4 July 1679. He took sec. w. 25 Feb. 1692, Sarah, d. of Hezekiah Hoar. SAMUEL, Windsor, s. of the sec. Thomas, tax. in 1691, had Samuel, b. 1702, perhaps others. THOMAS, Dorchester, 1630 br. of Israel, the first, came no doubt, in the Mary and John, next mo. in the fleet with Winthrop desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was sw. 18 May foll. constable by appointm. of Court, Sept. 1630, in the exercise of wh. office, Mar. foll. he commit. the indiscret. of solemnis. a mar. betw. Clement Briggs and Joan Allen, for wh. he was fin. L5, tho. some yrs. after it was remit. I hope the contr. of m. held good. Early in 1635 (after he had tak. for sec. w. Margaret, wid. of Simon Huntington, wh. says the Roxbury ch. rec. had d. on the voyage, of smallpox, bef. reach. Boston in 1633), the planta. of Conn. was project. by many people of Watertown, Newton (since nam. Cambridge), and Dorchester, and from the two latter the majority of ch. mem. rem. to found new sett. on the gr. river, as it wa call. but they were requir. to contin. undeer the jurisdict. of Mass. He was one of those, oft. rep. betw. 1639 and 48, not ment. later in my opin. (exc. that Windsor town, and ch. rec. mark his d. mean. some other person, 25 Mar. 1661) and liv. the resid. of his days at Windsor, wh. was the nam. giv. to the to Dorchester planta. How long this time was, is unkn. or what ch. he had, but as he was ens. 1636, and in 1640 made lieut. the freem. on the list of 1669, may seem to be a s. Hinman, 243, says he d. Sept. 1684, leav. good est. to ch. six by name; but as the names all agree with those of the ch. of sec. Thomas, I doubt not the other circumstances belong to him. The same conclusion is drawn as to John, wh. follows on the same page. For this first Thomas, from the Conn. rec. Trumbull, I. 83, as to distrib. of the sev. portions of Mr. Stoughton's childr. and his w.'s 27 Mar. 1643, I infer, that he d. late in 1642, and 42 yrs. earlier than Hinman's date. Yet it is remarka. that Stiles in Hist. of W. has utterly sunkt this first Thomas, one of the founders of his town, follow. Hinman inst. of the careful Hist. of Dorchester, wh. however he innocent. refers to. THOMAS, Windsor, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. an orig. propr. of Hartford, m. Mary, d. of William Wadsworth, had John, b. 20 June 1657; Mary, 1 Jan. 1659; Elizabeth 18 Nov. 1660; Thomas, 21 Nov. 1663; Samuel, 8 [[215]] Sept. 1665; Israel, 21 Aug. 1667; and Rebecca, 19 June 1673. He was, prob. that freem. on the list of. 1669, and had been many yrs. d. Sept. 1684, leav. fair est. we may believe, as also that his line was prolong. for in 1755, John S. was gr. at Yale. Mary m. 3 June 1677, Samuel Farnsworth; Elizabeth m. first, 1680, James Mackman, a rich merch. and sec. in 1699, John Eliot, Esquire; and Rebecca m. 1694, Atherton Mather. THOMAS, Windsor, s. of the preced. m. 31 Dec. 1691, Dorothy, d. of the sec. John Talcott, had Mary, b. 4 Jan. 1693, and his w. d. 28 May 1696. He m. 1697, Abigail Lothrop, perhaps wid. of Samuel the sec. of New London, certain. not, as Stiles, in Hist. 807, calls her, d. of Rev. Timothy Edwards, for she was his sis. had Thomas, 9 Apr. 1698; Daniel, 13 Aug. 1669; Benjamin, 28 Apr. 1701; Timothy, 27 June 1703; Abigail, 21 Dec. 1704; David, 9 Sept. 1706; Mabel, 19 Aug. 1708; Jonathan, 7 Oct. 1710; Elizabeth 20 Dec. 1712; Isaac, 2 Nov. 1714; and John, 11 Dec. 1719; was a capt. and d. 14 Jan. 1749. His wid. d. 23 Jan. 1754. WILLIAM, Dorchester, s. of the first Isreal, perhaps b. in Eng. where, aft. gr. at Harv. he resort. and stud. at Oxford Univ. being by order of Parliam. creat. a fellow of New Coll. and. preach at a parish in Co. Sussex, says Farmer, but with unkn. authority, and by Calamy is put with min. eject. for losing his fellowship soon aft. the restor. Aft. coming back, he was disting. for preach. the Election serm. 1668, but would not confine his powers to the pulpit; and was one of the selectmen 1671-4, an Assist. 1671-86, some yrs. commissnr. for the Unit. Col. and in the end of Oct. 1667 went with Bulkley, as agent to defend our cause at London. In the gr. contest with the crown he lost support of many friends, and stood the very lowest in the nominat. of the eighteen Assist. in 1686, being justly suspect. as guilty of moderat. He was appoint. by k. James one of the Counc. to Sir E. Andros, but partook of the N. E. spirit, when the Gov. was depos. and so gain the favor of Mather, that he nominat. him for lieut. gov. in the new charter, in wh. office, as also ch. just in 1695, he contin. till his d. 7 July 1701. Unhap. for his reputa. he was made cheif in 1692 of the unlawful special courte of oyer and terminer for trials of witches with the more amiable Sewall and Saltonstall, of wh. the one left the bench in disgust at the outrages on justice, and the other most bitterly repent. in public sackcloth; but Stoughton, a bach. was made of sterner stuff. From the unerring tribunal in the gr. day of retrib. justice, he may receive the mercy that he knew not how to show; and some tenderness mighht be felt even by fellow mortals for his murderous proceeding in the case of Rebecca Nurse, did not such conduct in a judge, aft. verdict of acquittal, necessarily stimulate execration. In the dark rec. of criminal adjundicat. no [[216]] instance can be found to parallel his blindness; yet if, pity for delus. in the man must be express. what excuse may be fram. for ignorance in a magistrate presid. in such unlawful. tribunal. See Quincy in Hist. of the Univ. I. 178-9. He join. in most unseemly union the various functions of legislat., Judicial, and executive authority; and in execut. of his sad duty he was so virulent. possessed against the accused, when he heard of reprieve of some under sentence of d. at a former term, as to complain of obstruction of justice, and withdrew from the Court. The recall of Sir William Phips left him in chief command in the prov. until arr. of Lord Bellomont in 1669, and he had the gratifica. of laying the corner stone of a coll. at Cambridge, built at his cost, and honor. with his name. Again he bec. ch. magistr. on d. of his superior. His monum. in the grave-yard at D. bears a long inscript. very closely imitat. from that of the learned Pascal, and has no reference to the judicial murders at Salem. See scrupul. Eliot's Biog. Dict. and Quincy's Hist. Harv. In his will, execut. one day bef. his d. pro. 23 of same mo. many good gifts out of his large est. are made, as beside others, L50 to the ch. beside two pieces of plate, L50 to the poor of the town, and L150 to the sch. to the wid. and childr. of Rev. John Collins L100, to Rev. John Danforth, wh. m. his niece, L50, beside a negro slave, and and orchard to his w. and L300 to Theophilus Minot, besides less sums to other relat. and made William Tailer, his neph. afterwards lieut. Gov. and nieces Elizabeth Danforth, Elizabeth Nelson, and Mehitable Cooper Excors. Of Theophilus Minot I find no other ment. and am led to cont. that he was a gr.ch. of the testator's elder sis. Hannah, wh. had m. James Minot. STOVER, or STOVARD, JOHN, Pemaquid, perhaps s. of Silvester, sw. fidel. to Mass. 1674. He liv. in later yrs. at York or Wells, and his was the fam. that suffer. from the Ind. in Oct. 1705, as Niles tells, when two of the ch. were k. and two more carr. away. SILVESTER, York, submit. to Mass. 1652, and sw. alleg. to Charles II. Mar. 1681. STOW, EDWARD, Watertown 1643, may have been only trans. visitor, for his name is not found in Bond; nor have I seen it in any other pt. of N. E. ICHABOD, Middletown, s. of the Rev. Samuel, m. 22 Oct. 1688, Mary, d. of the first David Atwater, of New Haven, had Abigail, b. 25 Jan. 1693, d. at 7 yrs; and Hope, 31 Oct. 1694. He d. 25 Jan. 1695. JOHN, Roxbury, came 1634, arr. says the ch. rec. 17 May, in one of those six sh. that came in, as Winthrop tells, in the wk. of the Gen. Ct.'s meeting, brot. w. Elizabeth and six ch. Thomas, Elizabeth, John, Nathaniel, Samuel, H. C. 1645, and Thankful; was freem. 3 Sept. foll. and his w. d. or was bur. 21 Aug. 1638; was rep. at two Courts in [[217]] 1639, and d. 26 Oct. 1643, by Eliot's rec. descr. as "an old Kentish man." His d. Elizabeth m. 4 Dec. 1639, Henry. Archer, on the same day her br. Thomas m. and Thankful m. John Pierpont. I suppose, aft. the d. of f. the residue of the fam. rem. to sev. towns, but princip. to Concord and Middletown. JOHN, Concord, Farmer says had s. Nathaniel, wh. I think a mistake. He was, prob. s. of the preced. and may have not rem. to Middletown, yet perhaps serv. in Philip's war, when one John S. of Capt. Newberry's comp. was wound. near the end of May, and cured last of Jan. foll. tho. this soldier may have been a younger man, and I have some ground for presum. that John, s. of Roxbury John, was d. bef. Sept. 1653, and perhaps never m. bec. his brs. Thomas, Nathaniel, and Samuel then unit. with Hopestill Foster, all legatees under the will of Rachael Bigg, of Dorchester, in a composition as to their respect. shares in est. of Smallhope Bigg, and John Bigg, their uncles in Co. Kent, old Eng. and it is almost certain, that the other brs. of those three must have had equal int. beside that John had m. a d. of Rachell Bigg, and was made excor. of her will. JOHN, Middletown, s. of Thomas, of the same, m. 13 Nov. 1668, Mary Wetmore, had John, b. 10 Oct. 1669, drown. at 2 yrs.; John, again, 3 Mar. 1672; Thomas, 10 Apr. 1674; Nathaniel, 22 Feb. 1676; Mary, June 1678; Hannah, 25 Aug. 1680; Sarah, 25 Mar. 1683; Samuel, 30 Apr. 1684; Thankful, 15 July 1686; and Experience, 30 Sept. 1688; of wh.

Samuel, m. a. 1678, Esther, wid. of John Wilcox, d. of William Cornwell, had Hope, b. 10 Sept. 1679; Samuel 1684, d. at 22 yrs. and Thankful, wh. d. young in 1700; and he d. 30 June 1732; and his wid. d. 2 May foll. ea. 82 yrs. old. He was, perhaps, that John, of Capt. Newberry's comp. wound. in Philip's war. NATHANIEL, Concord, s. of John the first, b. in Eng. by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 29 or 30 June 17, both dates being in the rec. d. in few mos. Hannah, wh. d. 14 May, perhaps few hours old; and Thankful, 4 Jan. 1660; beside Samuel, nam. in the will of his uncle the Rev. Samuel. His w. d. 8 June 1661, he was freem. 1690. NATHANIEL, Middletown, s. of Thomas of the same, m. 4 Apr. 1677, Hannah Wet more, had no ch. His w. d. 0ct. 1704, and he d. 16 Feb. foll. His est. went in six equal pts. to brs. Thomas, Samuel, and the rep. of John, sis. Mary, Thankful, and the heirs of Elizabeth RICHARD, call. by Farmer of Mass. as early as 1630, I fear to count any thing but a misnomer.

[[218]] Memor. of Grad. Farmer, misled by the same high vouchers, erron. calls him s. of Thomas, instead of his br. He was freem. 1645, while undergr. but had his degr. few wks. aft.; went to preach at Middletown a. 1653, where no ch. was gather. for many yrs. and seems never to have been ord. but was the first and only min. there bef. 1668, by the gen. assem. as early as 1660, the town had been liberat. from contrib. to his support, on condit. of giv. him a recommend. to others. He, however, was well content with civil duties, tho. during Philip's war, as sev. yrs. bef. he preach. in various near towns, instead of more popular persons, wh. were sometimes invalid, or call. from their pulpits to accomp. the soldiers. By w. Hope, d. of William Fletcher he had John, b. at Charlestown, 16 June 1650; Ichabod, at M. 20 Feb. 1653; Hope, 4 Feb. 1657; Dorothy, 1 Aug. 1659, wh. m.

His will, of 13 Aug. 1702 is very minute, and enlarges our geneal. details by ment. of his br. Nathaniel's s. Samuel of his dec. br. Thomas's.

SAMUEL, Marlborugh 1676, yet as he was taken station. at the garris. ho. of Joseph Rice, as a soldier; he may have liv. at Concord, or other neighb. town. I guess he was s. of Nathaniel of Concord. THOMAS, Braintree, eldest s. of the first John, b. in Eng. ar. co. 1638, m. 4 Dec. 1639, at Roxbury, Mary Gragg, or Griggs, had John, b. 3 Feb. 1641; and Mary, 6 Feb. 1643; by 1648, or earlier, rem. to Concord, there freem. 1653, thence a. 1654, to Middletown, had, also, Thankful, Elizabeth Nathaniel, Samuel, and Thomas. His w. d. 21 Aug. 1680, and he d. prob. early in 1684, as inv. is of 23 Feb. in his will names only John, Nathaniel, and Thomas as his s. and Samuel Bidwell, h. of his dec. d.

JOSEPH, Charlestown, s. of Nicholas, a householder 1658, had Mary, bapt. 1 July 1677; but no other, bef. or aft. is found in the ch. rec. and we learn, that she on same day renew the covenant, bec. her f. d. in her infancy, perhaps she was the only ch.

NICHOLAS, Charlestown 1629, one of the eleven earliest sett. in that penins. came prob. in the fleet with Higginson to Salem, and went with the Spragues, as the compilat. of the rec. of C. made in 1664 calls the date 1628, but clearly meaning 1629; in 1630 he was on the inq. 28 Sept. on the body of Austen Bratcher, that charg. Walter Palmer with the manslaught. of wh. he was acquit. by the jury; freem. 18 May next, stands NO. 70 on the list of Boston ch. and with w. was among found. of that in C. 35 in all, 2 Nov. 1632, and had, by w. Amy, Joseph, b. 21, bapt. 23 Feb. 1633; Abigail, 27, bapt. 28 June 1636; and John, wh. d. 15 Aug. 1638, perhaps few hours old. But he had other ch. Richard, Jane, and a d. m. Starr, as Frothingham reads the will, but Farr, acc. Geneal. Reg. III. 180, perhaps all three, certain. the first and last b. in Eng. Unless the orig. will can be seen, that is not likely, we must decide by our [[220]] contemp. rec. in wh. Farr is plain; but I have gr. delight in find. that George F. of Lynn was a passeng. from Eng. at the same time with S. and it is quite prob. they were in the same ship, and their ch wd. thus bec. acquaint. besides that the fathers, six yrs. aft. arr. were made freem. on the same day; was appoint. constable 1639, and d. 17 May 1646. His will was made the day bef. His wid. d. soon, at least her inv. was of 1 July aft. Yet in the list of inhabs. wh. drew sh. in wood and commons on Mystick side, 1658, her name is ent. but prob. this was only as the mo. of heirs entitled.

RICHARD, Watertown, s. of Samuuel the first, b. in Eng. may be he wh. hav. been left at home by his f. perhaps at sch. came in the Speedwell, 1656, from London to Boston, by w.

Samuel, and John, but the precise time is unkn. all three took the o. of fidel. 1652, and he was freem. 1653. Perhaps he brot. a w. that d. early, and 27 Aug. 1657, he m. in Boston, wid.

His w. d. perhaps, 27 Nov. 1719; and he d. 28 Sept. 1723. STREAME, STREME, or STERTE, JOHN Milford 1646, is perhaps he wh. came in the Truelove, with his uncle Zechariah Witman; from London, to Boston 1635, aged 14, with Thomas, prob. his br. aged 15; m. 20 Dec. 1649, Martha Beard of the same, had Abigail; Mary, b. 12 Oct. 1653; John, Dec. 1657; Thomas, 1 Apr. 1661, d. young; Martha, 1664; and Sarah, 1667, and he was freem. of Conn. 1665, ens. 1669, and d. 1685. Abigail m. Thomas Tibbals, of Milford; Mary m. 11 Nov. 1674, David Baldwin of the same; Martha m. Thomas Cooley; and Sarah was in 1690 unm. I had tak. the spell. of this surname in June or July 1842, as here it stands first, but 17 yrs. later, Mr. Drake's copy of the same gives it STERTE, and his eyesight may have been better than mine, or that of the keeper of her majesty's public office, wh. confirm. mine. Diversity in reading old MS. must be expected. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 272 and Geneal. Reg. XIV. 323.

STREET, FRANCIS, Tauton, a purch. in 1637, prob. liv. bef. 1644 in ano. town and not in the Plymouth jurisdict. for his name is not ret. in the list of those able to bear arms in the Col. nor does it seem, that he was near relat. of Rev. Nicholas. Yet Emery, I. 20, thinks he was there bef. 1640, and perhaps a passeng. in the Susan and Ellen, from London to Boston, Alice, age 28, may have been his w. He d. early in 1665, or, at least his inv. was tak. 3 June of that yr. and his wid. Elizabeth (wh. name, in old times, was convertib. with Alice), m. 10 Dec. foll. Thomas Lincoln. He left no ch. but Mary. NICHOLAS, Taunton, ord. teacher, on the same day that Hooke was made pastor, but what day that was, is ask. in vain, and only prob. conject. fixes the yr. 1637. He had, no doubt, adequate educ. but none of the inquisit. scholars of New Haven have. ascert. in what place he was b. or taught. Emery says, his first w. was a sis. of the maiden found. of the town, and his sec. was the wid. of Gov. Newman, but of neither do we hear the name. All his ch. Samuel, H. C. 1664; Susanna; Sarah; Abiah; and Hannah; were, I [[223]] doubt not, by the first. Hooke being drawn to Eng. from New Haven, where he had been teacher conjunct. with famous Davenport, our Taunton min. was call. 1659 to take his place and was induct. 26 Nov. there d. 22 Apr. 1674. Dodd, in East Haven reg. tells, that Susanna m. a Mason, whose name is not found; Sarah m. 1662, James Heaton; Abiah m. 28 Sept. 1663, Daniel Sherman; and Hannah m. an Andrews. SAMUEL, Wallingford, only s. of the preced m. 3 Nov. of the same yr. in wh. he had his A. B. Ann, d. of Richard Miles, had Ann, b.

He began to preach at W. 1672, and was ord. in 1674, took sec. w. 1 Nov. 1684, Maudlin Daniels, had Samuel, again, 8 Nov. 1685; James, 28 Dec. 1686; Ann, again, 26 Aug. 1688; and he took third w. 14 July 1690, Hannah Glover, had Eleanor, 3 Dec. 1691; Nathaniel, 19 Jan. 1693; Elnathan, 2 Sept. 1695; Mary, 16 Apr. 1698; and John, 25 Oct. 1703; and d. 16 Jan. 1717, being, as his successor wrote in 1770 with some exagger. eighty two yrs. old, but Dodd says above 75. STEPHEN, freem. of Mass. 1644, may have been of Concord or Sudbury; but the sagacity of Farmer suggest. better habitat. as in the next artic.

STREETER, SAMUEL, Concord, s. prob. of Stephen the first, by w. Mary had Judah, b. 1666; Eleazer, 1668; beside a John, wh. d. 1667; and ano. John 1671. SAMUEL, Edgartown 1663, was drown. there 19 Nov. 1669. STEPHEN, Gloucester 1642, perhaps was owner of a ho. earlier, rem. to Charlestown, there by w. Ursula had Hannah, b. 10 Nov. 1644; was freem. prob. as Farmer happily conject. that yr. in May, but not adm. in right of the Charlestown ch. to wh. he unit. with his w. 21 Mar. not Oct. as Barry made it, 1652. He prob. had other ch. bef. or aft. or both, Stephen, Samuel and John, and, I think, d. bef. 1657, in wh. yr the wid. m. 13 Oct.

Barry finds ano. STEPHEN, with w. Rebecca, at Muddy riv. (Brookline) 1679. STRETCHER, HENRY, Watertown 1687, appears to have been unm. STRETTON, BARTHOLOMEW, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had William, b. 30 Jan. 1659; but I hear no more of him. Perhaps this surname may be the same as Stratton. [[224]] STRICKLAND, or STICKLAND, EDMUND, Middleburg, L. I. prob. s. of John, was there in 1656-86. See Riker, Ann of Newtown. JOHN, Mass. 1630, came, prob. in the fleet with Winthrop but no rec. shows of what town he was inhab. and neither Bond, exc. as Stickland, p. 950, Felt, Frothingham, Ellis, Holmes, Lewis, nor Snow claim him for their towns, as citizen, yet he desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. and was sw. on 18 May foll. then call. serj. Perhaps he was not a mem. of either of the chs. but a man of good consider. evidently, as he serv. on that sp. jury at the Ct. of Assist. May 1631, wh. gave the exempl. damages in the action of battery by Dexter against Capt. Endicott. At the Ct. in Sept. 1632 he was fin. L3 for refus. to watch, but at the Gen. Ct. Sept. 1638, it was remit. to him, as were those of Sir Richard Saltonstall, Gov. Dudley, Edward Gibbons, and so many others, that it perhaps gave more satisfact. than any session has ever done since, and may be call. the gr. remission term. With certainty no more is kn. of him, but, I suppose, he was one of the patentees of Hempstead, L. I. 1644, and one of the first sett. at Huntington 1650. He had, we can hardly doubt, a fam.

May 1651, unless this were his s. wh. seems very improb. and soon aft. 1661 was inhab. of Northampton. With very gr. doubts as to most of the items, and utter reject. of part most import. in tradit. report. of his com. in the Mary and John to Dorchester with Warham in May 1630, and of the d. of his first w. on the pass. and tak. a sec. w. in 1630, I think it prob. that he brot. John in 1635, and at [[226]] Hingham had Thomas, possib. also ano. ch. wh. d. inf. and that his w. d. there, and that he m. perhaps in 1638, Abigail, d. of Thomas Ford of Dorchester, for in that single yr. is the only ment. of his name as resid. at D. had prob. at Taunton Jedediah, bapt. 14 Apr. 1639, at D. tho. the ch. rec. implies, that the parents liv. at H. Return; Ebenezer; and Abigail; at Windsor, certain. had Elizabeth b. 24 Aug. 1647, or 24 Feb. 1648; Experience, 4 Aug. 1650; Samuel, and Joseph, perhaps sometimes call. Josiah, tw. 5 Aug. 1652; Mary, 26 Oct. 1654. At W. he m. 26 Nov. 1656, Mary, only d. of Joseph Clark; had Sarah not on rec. perhaps 1657; Hannah, 30 May 1659; and Esther, 7 June 1661; at Northampton had Thankful, 25 July 1663; and Jerijah, 12 Dec. 1665. Cothren favors him with three more ch. one wh. d. inf. two mos. aft. arr. of f. in 1630; Josiah, wh. d. young, unm. but I distrust the exist. of both; and Sarah, wh. m. 19 Dec. 1675, or 13 Jan. foll. (either of wh. may be thot. more prob. date, than that of fam. tradit. 13 July 1675) Joseph Barnard of Hadley, and next, 1698, Capt. Jonathan Wells of Deerfield. She may have come betw. Mary and Hannah. On the high authority of Dr. Allen I can find but sixteen ch. beside the inf. wh. d. He was, very likely, b. at Taunton in Co. Somerset, and his f. may have been Richard, and his sis. Elinor may have been w. of Walter Dean; but that he ever liv. at Dorchester is highly improb. for Harris, or any more search. inquirer has not found his name there, bef. or aft. 1638, exc. once was witness to a deed, wh. may have been writ. at Hingham; and it is hardly to be believ. that the same w. wh. bore the two ch. at N. had been taken at D. in 1630. That he was indeed ever resid. at D. aft. 1638, can be surmis. from the trifling incident only, that John Hill was m. at Boston 16 Jan. 1657 to Elizabeth Strong by Humphrey Atherton, the Assist. wh. was a Dorchester man. Nor is it more prob. as the tradit. ornaments the story, that he came from Eng. with Warham or accomp. him in 1636 to W. Hitchcock, Parsons, Cothren, Geneal. Reg. VIII. 180, and Emery too easily adm. such relat. in my opin. that relies on the powerful contempo. silence of his br.-in-law, Roger Clap, wh. did come in that sh. and m. a d. of his fellow passeng. Thomas Ford. For the modern origin of these improb. tradit. I presume that, as the ancest. was at Windsor, within twelve yrs. of its settlem. and a s. of this m. a Warham, and as Ford rem. with W. to Windsor the story spread grad. that he had come from Eng. to Dorchester, with W. and accomp. him to his next home in Conn. but the reporters did not consider two points, that many people were of Dorchester, wh. did not come with Warham, and many of Windsor, wh. did not come from Dorchester. In McClure's acco. of sett. of Windsor, writ. in 1797, pr. 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. V. 167, is seen the list of the sixteen male mem. of the ch. of Dorchester that [[227]] went with Warham thither, among wh. is No Strong. As Roger Clap had m. a d. of Ford two or three yrs. bef. the exodus, the d. wh. bec. the sec. w. of Strong, as it seems to me after it, may have contin. at D. to comfort her sis. and avoid the perils of ano. first planting.

Perhaps he was s. of Edward. It is vexatious to be unable to supply better acco. of a name so disting. in N. E. Always in Conn. the spelling is Sturges; and eight are gr. at Yale, five at Harv. STURTEVANT, or STURDEVANT, JOHN, Plymouth, perhaps br. of Samuel, more prob. his s. m. Hannah, wid. of William Crow, d. of Josiah Winslow the first.

Sarah had Sarah, b. 21 Oct. 1662. My refer. is lost. STYCHE, HENRY, Lynn, was an efficient workman at the iron foundry in 1653, and was then 103 yrs. of age, as Lewis in Hist. of Lynn, Ed. 2, p. 143 asserts; and he adds: "How many yrs. longer he liv. history has not inform. us." That remark may raise a doubt in the mind of any reader, even if the writer be not thot. to distrust the marvel. Yet in the first Ed. I think the age was call. 102. Lamenta. that the line was not perpet. wd. be unavailing and perhaps unwise. SUCKLING, or SUCKLIN, THOMAS, Hingham, came with Francis James, as one of his serv. in the Diligent, 1638.

His will of 27 Sept. 1700, pro. 4 Apr. 1704, provides for wid. and her ds. Mary Bangs; Sarah Freeman; and Mercy Sears; but I do not discov. the hs. of either, tho. perhaps the last was w. of Silas. JOHN, Boston, s. of the preced. m. 26 Jan. 1659, Mary, d. of John Vial, had John b. 22 Jan. 1661; Dorothy, 7 Apr. 1664; and Nathaniel, 17 Nov. 1667. SUSSELL, RICHARD, rec. as freem. 1653, at Portsmouth R. I. as by the print. Vol. I. 263, and repeat. 300, of R. I. Col. Rec. appears, is by me conject. to be the same man, whose controv. relat. to a m. with Abigail Davis, in 1656, may be seen in Ib. 349, 59,60, and 5. Yet Ussell may seem as wilful a pervers. as the other. SUTHERLAND, MATTHEW, R. I. 1639. SUTLIFFE, ABRAHAM, Scituate 1640, by Sarah had Abraham and perhaps others, was liv. 166l, and the s.

GEORGE, Situate 1638, m. 1641, Sarah, d. of Elder Nathaniel Tilden of the same, had John, b. 1642; Lydia, 1646; Sarah, 1648, d. soon; Sarah, again, 1650; and Elizabeth 1653; but Deane tells not of his d. JOHN, Hingham, came in the Diligent, 1638, with w. and four ch. as the rec. of blessed Daniel Cushing assures us, from Attleburg in Co. Norfolk, a town a. 15 ms. from Norwich, but less than half that dist. from Hingham; encourag. the sett. of Rohoboth, where ld. was assign. him in 1644, but forfeit. by non. rem. As he is call. sen. perhaps one of his ch. may have been s. John; but of the stock I gather no more. JOHN, Scituate, s. of George m. 1661, Elizabeth d. of Samuel House, had Elizabeth b. [[234]] 1662; John, 1664; Mary, 1666; Sarah, 1668; Hannah, 1670; Esther, 1673; Benjamin, 1675; Nathaniel, 1677; and Nathan, 1679; was an ens. in Philip's war, and d. in 1691, by his will ment. w. and all the ch. exc. Elizabeth and Benjamin, wh. perhaps were d. Ano. John, wh. d. at Rehoboth 1670, is by Deane thot. to be s. of Simon, and by me of the first John. JOSEPH, freem. of Conn. sw. 1658, was of unkn. town. JOSEPH, Boston, by w. Sarah had Sarah, b. 31 July 1659. JULIAN, Rehoboth, was bur. 4 June 1678; but no more is kn. of him. LAMBERT, Charlestown, was adm. of the ch. 4 Apr. 1641, liv. in Woburn, freem. 1644, d. 27 Nov. 1649. RICHARD, Charlestown, a householder 1677, may have been of Roxbury 1650, where his w. Rachel d. 10 Nov. 1672, and a propr. of Lancaster 1653. RICHARD, Andover 1664, may aft. have liv. at Reading. SIMON, Scituate 1647, perhaps br. of Geroge, of wh. we kn. no more, but that he was witn. of Nathaniel Tilden's will, and was there 1643. WILLIAM, Eastham, m. 11 July 1666, Damaris Bishop, had Alice, b. 13 May 1668; Thomas, 11 Nov. 1669; Mary, 4 Oct. 1671; may be the man pf Newbury, wh. m. 27 Oct. 1679, Mary Gassell, or Gaffell, as Coffin has the name, and d. 7 May 1690. Of ano. William, wh. d. 9 May, the inv. was giv. 20 June 1680 by his wid. Sarah. But this was in Essex Co. One William was a soldier in the Phips expedit. of 1690 under Gallup. SWADDON, PHILIP, Watertown, serv. of Robert Seely, 1630, set free next yr. on condit. of pay £10 to his master, was of Kittery 1640. SWADOCK, JOHN, Haverhill 1685, took o. of alleg. Nov. 1677. SWAIN, SWAYNE, or SWAINE, sometimes SWEYEN, DANIEL, Branford, s. of William, b. in Eng. one of the found. of the ch. and town 1664, in freem's. list 1669, was rep. 1673-7, his signat. in fac-simile, Geneal. Reg. III. 153, is pervert. by change of the two final letters, ne for er. He did not partake of the exciteme. that carr. many of his town with their min. to N. J. but was engag. build. up fam. and town, m. 1651, Dorcas, d. of Robert Rose of STratford, had Daniel, b. 26 July 1652; Deborah, 24 Apr. 1654; Samuel, 23 Dec. 1655; Dorcas, 2 Dec. 1657; JOhn, 20 Dec. 1660; Joshua, 12 Jan. 1663; Rachel; David; and Hannah; and he d. 1690 or 1. Samuel, Joshua, and Hannah, as well as elddest ch. Daniel, all d. without ch. bef. their f. so that two s. and three ds. had his est. with the wid. wh. d. early in 1708, and in her will of 1707 names, DAvid hav. d. without ch. only d. Deborah's childr. d. Dorcas Wheeler, formerly Taintor, s. John's childr. and d. Rachel unm. Deborah m. 20 Nov. 1671, Peter Tyler; ;and Dorcas m. John Taintor, and next a Wheeler. FRANCIS, Exter 1645, rem. to Middleburg, L. I. 1657, was s. of Richard of Hampton, b. in Eng. brot. by his f. at the age of 14, with his elder br. William from London, 1635, in the Rebecca, while he came later in the same yr. had w. Martha, d. under mid. age, [[235]] and his wid. m. Caleb Leverich. HENRY, Charlestown, s. perhaps of Jeremy the first, was one of the comp. of Capt. Moseley in Philp's war, a householder in 1678, m. 21 Aug. 1679, Hannah, d. of Benjamin Lothrop of the same. Frothingham, 88, counts Henry an inhab. of 1638; but that seems, as he was not in 1658, prob. a mist. for Jeremy. JEREMY, Charlestown 1638, by w. Mary, or Mercy, had Jeremy, b. 1 Mar. 1643; John, 30 Jan. 1645; and perhaps others, certain. at Reading, Sarah, 29 Jan. 1655; and he d. at R. 2 Apr.1658. JEREMY, Reading, s. prob. of the preced. rep. 1689, and the same yr. chos. Assist. but had a very small vote at the pop. elect. 1692, and was not nam. in new Chart. may have been f. of Jeremy, freem. 1691, was certain. much engag. in the Ind. war, as head of a regim. Aug. 1691. See Magn. VII. 67, and Niles. JOHN, Nantuckett, prob. s. of Richard the first, had John b. 1 Sept. 1664, by tradit. the first male, b. there; Stephen, 21 Nov. 1666; Sarah, 13 July, 1670; Joseph, 17 July 1673; Elizabeth 17 May 1676; Benjamin, 5 July 1679; and Hannah; Patience; and Mary; without dates, but the last nam. is thot. to be the eldest of all; all perhaps by Mary, d. of Nathaniel Wyer, but we are not sure of more than that he d. 1717; and is said to have been b. 1633, but I doubt the report. JOHN, Branford, s. of Daniel of the same, and only one, wh. had ch. yet d. 1694, bef. mid. age, leav. Eunice, and John. NICHOLAS, Hampton 1643. RICHARD, Rowley 1639, came in the Truelove, 1635 aged 34, or rather more, emb. at London, 17 Sept. hav. in Apr. sent, perhaps his w. Elizabeth in the Planter, s. William, and Francis, in the Rebecca; and d. Elizabeth in the Susan and Ellen, under care of various friends, freem. 13 Mar. 1639, had liberty the yr. bef. to plant, with others, at Hampton, where in 1639 he had authty. to sett. small causes, but had Elizabeth bapt. at Newbury 9 Oct. 1638; m. 1658 or 9, Jane, wid. of George Bunker, perhaps by her had Richard; and lost his w. in childb. 31 Oct. 1662, at. Nantucket, and d. 14 Apr. 1682. He had, also, d. Dorothy, wh. m. Thomas Abbot, and next Edward Chapman; and Elizabeth m. Nathaniel Weare. RICHARD, Nantucket, perhaps s. of the preced. had Abigail, b. 7 Feb. 1684; and Jonathan, 23 Dec. 1685; and may have had more; but rem. to N. J. where are descend. the nautical S. of Cape May. SAMUEL, Branford, elder br. of Daniel, b. in Eng. was lieut. and rep. 1663; as friend of Rev. Mr. Pierson, went with first sett. to Newark, N. J. and was rep. in the first assemb. of that province, but Whitehead, in "E Jersey under the Proprs." 52, calls him Swarne. Who his w. was, is not kn. but he had some ch. as Elizabeth wh. m. Josiah Ward, and next David Ogden; and Mary, b. 1 May 1649, both bapt. at New Haven, 1 June 1651, of wh. Mary d. at 6 yrs.; Phebe, b. 24 May 1654; Mary, again, 12 June 1656; Christian, 25 Apr. 1659, wh. m. Nathaniel Ward; Sarah, 7 Oct. 1661; and perhaps more bef. or aft. rem. WILLIAM, Watertown, came in the EIizabeth and Ann, from London, 1635, aged [[236]] 50, was adm. freem. at the Gen. Ct. 3 Mar. foll. when he was appoint. with Ludlow, and others, commissnrs. to rule the new settlem. at Conn. serv. as rep. 1636, May in Mass. and in Sept. held Court in the young Col. next yr. he contin. to act as Assist. perhaps under the Mass. delegat. but not in 1638, when the inhab. of Conn. took the whole admin. of their own affairs, tho. their formal constitut. was not adopt. bef. Jan. 1639. He sat down at Wethersfield, of wh. he was rep. 1641-3; soon aft. being chos. again Assist. 1644, he rem. with s. Samuel and Daniel to the W. and lighted on or near Branford 1644, there prob. d. His d. Mary, early a mem. of Roxbury ch. m. and went to New Haven says the rec. WILLIAM, Hampton, s. of Richard the first, b. in Eng. by w. Prudence had William, Prudence, Hannah, Bethia, and Hezekiah, of wh. the order of success. is not kn. and he and his w. d. a. 1657 or 8. WILLIAM, Hampton, s. of the preced. took the o. of alleg. 1678. Very oft. this name is mistak. for Swan, and that for this. In Winthrop II. 29, is the story of one S. of York, wh. fell into despair, and hang. hims. in Mar. 1641. SWALLOW, AMBROSE, Chelmsford, 1692, perhaps, says Farmer in MS. was previous. of Dunstable. JOHN, Newport 1651, as found by Stiles. SWAN, or SWANN, EBENEZER, Cambridge, s. of John of the same, d. 27 July 1740, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 29 Mar. 1699; Sarah, 26 Feb. 1701; Ebenezer, 23 Mar. 1704; Mary, 4 Mar. 1707; Samuel, 5 Apr. 1711; and William, 31 Jan. 1714. GERSHOM, Cambridge, s. of John of the same, m. 20 Dec. 1677, Sarah, d. of Richard Holden, had Sarah, b. a. 1679; Rebecca, 24 Aug. 1681, d. young; John, 3 Oct. 1683; Ruth, 25 Dec. 1685; Abigail, 12 Feb. 1687; Lydia, 10 Nov. 1689; Rebecca, bapt. 14 Aug. 1698 and perhaps more; and he d. 2 July 1708. HENRY, Salem, adm. of the ch. 19 May, and freem. 22 May 1639, had Thomas, bapt. 26 Feb. 1643; and Elizabeth 8 Feb. 1646. HENRY, Boston, and no more is kn. of him, but that by w. Joan he had Sarah, and d. bef. her, whose d. is rec. at B. 23 Dec. 1651. JOHN, Cambridge, serv. to Thomas Bittlestone, nam. in his will, 1640, m. 1 Jan. or as ano. acco. says, Feb. 1651, Rebecca Palfrey, d. prob. of a wid. wh. came from Eng. had Ruth, b. 10 Mar. 1652, and Gershom, 30 June 1654. She d. 12 July 1654, and he m. 1 Mar. 1656, Mary Pratt, had Samuel, b. 3 Apr. or 1 May 1657 d. 19 June 1678, says the gr.stone; Mary, 2 May 1659; Elizabeth 14 July 1661; Lydia, 28 July 1663; John, 1 May 1665; Hannah, 27 Feb. 1668, and Ebenezer, 14 Nov. 1672. The f. was freem. 29 Apr. 1668, and d. 5 June 1708, aged 87, and his w. d. 11 Feb. 1703 in her 70th yr. as Harris tells. Elizabeth m. Ezekiel Ricardson of Woburn. JOHN, Westfield, is an alias name of SEVAN, as the Rev. Mr. Davis read the orig. rec. wh. is hardly to be call. a possib. [[237]] one, but a more practis. eye gave me the assurance that the name was SCORE. Nobody will dispute the prob. that Mr. Judd got hold of the right letters. RICHARD, Boston, join. our ch. 6 Jan. 1639, had John, bapt. next Sunday, and was dism. 24 Nov. foll. with others to form a ch. at Rowley, freem. 13 May aft. was rep. 1666 and many yrs. more, and d. 1678. His w. was Ann, ch. Richard, Frances, Robert, Jonathan, Susan, or Julian, and perhaps more ch. certain. ds. Frances, m. Mark Quilter, and Sarah m. Joseph Boynton. Julian had m. 18 Feb. 1654, Samuel Stickney, bore him four ch. and d. bef. her f. but his will, of 1678, beside these, name ds. Abigail Bailey, Mary Kilborn, and s. Caleb Hopkinson, John Hopkinson, and John Trumbull. I conject. that John Trumbull rem. from Roxbury to Rowley soon aft. Swan, m. his d. Ann, and d. 1657, leav. sev. ch. prob. Joseph and Judah among the. RICHARD, Rowley, prob. s. of the preced. free m. 1684. ROBERT, Haverhill 1646, by w. Elizabeth had prob. Robert, and perhaps Timothy and others. ROBERT, Haverhill, prob. s. of the preced. took o. of alleg. 28 Nov. 1677, and was rep. 1684. TIMOTHY, Andover, s. of Robert the first, d. 1 Feb. 1693, aft. long afflict. suppos. by witchcraft, as Rev. Mr. Hale in his Hist. p. 38, tells, of wh. Elizabeth Johnson, perhaps w. of Stephen, acknowl. bef. Justice Dudley Bradstreet, 10 Aug. 1692, that she had a hand in it, but she was so liberal in confess. many other torments bestow. by her upon other neighbors that I believe she saved her life by her falsehoods. See 39 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 124. But the magistr. was slow to believe the horrible confess. of his neighb. against themselves, and so the baffled bloodhounds wh. rejoic. in the diabolical delus. were let loose upon him, as a Saducee. THOMAS, Roxbury, m. Mary, d. of Thomas Lamb, had Henry, b. in Boston (where prob. he first pursu. his. profess.), 16 May 1665, wh. d. young; and Thomas wh. d. 1668; but at R. had Thomas, again, b. 15 Sept. 1669, H. C. 1689; Dorothy, 29 Dec. 1672; Peter, and Dorothy, prob. tw. 1674, d. very soon; Henry, 29 Mar. 1678, d. soon; Henry, again, 24 Mar. foll.; Mary, 4 June 1681; Peter, 7 June 1684, d. soon; and Ebenezer, 12 May 1686; was a physician and d. perhaps in Feb. 1688. His ho. was burn. in the night of 11 July 1681, for wh. Maria, a negro serv. of Joshua Lamb, being convict. by her confess. at the Court in Sept. foll. the Gov. benignant Bradstreet, pronunc. the sentence of d. by the form. of burn. and the horrid solemnity was public. THOMAS, Roxbury, s. of the preced. m. 27 Dec. 1692, Prudence Wade of Medford. Twelve of this name at Harv. and two at Yale had been gr. in 1846. SWARTON, JOHN, Beverly 1672 SWASEY, SWAZEY, SWAYSY, JOSEPH, Salem , by w. Mary had Joseph, b. 13 Oct. 1653; Elizabeth 1 Dec. 1655; Mary, 21 Apr. 1659; Abigail, 24 Jan. 1662; Samuel, 19 Aug. 1664; John, 30 Sept. 1666; and Stephen, a. 22 Sept. 1669 and in 1680, Elizabeth perhaps his d. more prob. his wid. m. John Lightfoot at that town. JOSEPH, Salem, s. of the preced. m. 16 Oct. 1678, Elizabeth Lambert, had Samuel, b. 14 Sept. 1682; Elizabeth 20 May 1684; and Joseph, 20 Aug. 1685. [[238]] SWATMAN, JOHN, Cambridge, is no doubt error in Genealog. Reg. IX. 168 (but truly tak. from the old book in Boston), for Thomas Sweetman; and the date of b. of the first ch is one yr. too early. SWELUS, an unfortun. name in Geneal. Reg. II. 264, belongs, I am confident, to Robert Twelves of Braintree. See, also, an equal mistake in Quelves. SWEET, SWAITE, or SWEETE, BENONI, Warwick, or Kingstown, s. of the first James, had James, b. 1688; Margaret 1690; Benoni, 1692; Mary, 1696; Elizabeth 1700; and Thomas, 1703; perhaps all, perhaps only the last two, by w. Elizabeth DANIEL, a Warwick, s. of the first John of Warwick, made his willl in 1728. HENRY, Swanzey, m. 29 Jan. 1687, Elizabeth d. of Philip Walker, and was aft. of Attleborogh, had five ch. JAMES, had been of Salem 1631, call. s. of Isaac, wh. prob. d. in Eng. and a wid. S. perhaps his mo. had gr. of Id. there 1637, on the list of freem. 1655, of Warwick, there m. Mary, d. of the first John Greene of the same, had Philip, b. 15 July 1655; James, 8 May 1657; Mary, 2 Feb. 1660 Benoni, 28 Mar. 1663; Valentine, 14 Feb. 1665; Samuel, 1 Nov. 1667, b. at Prudence isl.; Jeremiah, 6 Jan. 1669; Renewed, 16 July 1671; and Sylvester, 1 Mar. 1674, at Potowomut. JOHN, Boston, 1640, shipwright, or caulker, join. our ch. and was freem. 2 June 1641, by w. Temperance, wh d. Jan. 1645 (strange. misprint. Temperance Jewett in ment. of her ch. censure by Drake, Hist. of Boston, 252), had Temperance, wh. d. 28 Nov. 1661; and by w. Susanna, wh. join. our ch. 23 May 1647, he had Susanna, b. 3, bapt. 11 Apr. 1647; John, 8, bapt. 21 Sept. 1651, d. young; Mary, 28 Jan. bapt. 5 Feb. 1653; Abigail, 4 May 1656, d. in few days; Mehitable, b. 8, bapt. 11 Oct. 1657, d. soon; Mehitable, again, b. 8 Dec. 1659. JOHN, Charlestown, shoemaker, d. 18 May 1695, near 80, says the gr. stone. His w. d. 16 July 1666, aged 44, and he d. 25 Apr. 1685, aged 82, as the gr. stones in Copp's. hill show. and Sewall's diary says, he was bur. 20 Apr. JOHN, Warwick, br. of James prob. elder, perhaps brot. from Eng. by his mo. Mary, wid. of Isaac Sweet, wh. there m. Ezekiel Holliman, hav. two s. this John, and James, beside a d. Meribah, whose name by Holliman was alter. to Renewed, bef. she m. John Geraerd; is on freem's. list 1665, had a grist mill, and other works on the Potowomut, in the Naraganset country, burnt by the Ind. in Philip's war, 1675, in his will of 1677, then of Newport, names w. Elizabeth and ch. John, Daniel, James, Henry, Richard, Benjamin, William, and Jeremiah, beside a d. JOHN, Wickford, had w. Elizabeth and ch. John, Elizabeth James, and Sarah, as from his will, in 1716, on rec. of Wickford, appears. Ano. JOHN, of Wickford, was f. of the preced. but d. the yr. aft. him, had beside him, Deborah, James, and Mary, as also sec. w. Rachel. JOSEPH, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Benjamin, b. 22 Jan. 1660. RICHARD, Westerly, s. prob. of John, m. 15 Dec. [[239]] 1673, perhaps Mehitable, d. of Edward Larkin the first of the same; and prob. for sec w. had Priscilla, d. of the sec.

Isabel had Elizabeth b. 6 Jan. 1647; Rebecca, 7 Apr. 1649; Mehitable, a. 1650; Sarah, b. 2 May 1554; Thomas, 18 Jan. 1656, d. in few days unbapt.; Ruhamah, 28 Mar. 1657; the others all bapt. says Mitchell's Reg. wh adds to them Samuel, b. 19 Apr. bapt. 22 May 1659, H.

Elizabeth m. 7 Dec. 1671, Benjamin Wellington; Rebecca m. Michael Spencer; Sarah m. 9 Jan. 1674, Josiah Treadway, and d. 5 MAr. 1697; and Bethia m. James Hewes of Boston. SWEETSER, or SWITZER, BENJAMIN, Charlestown 1658, s. of Seth of the same, b. in Eng. then a householder, was next yr. fined L50 and imprison. as a Bapt. Prob. he had s. Seth, and perhaps other ch. and certain. d. 22 July 1718. SAMUEL, Malden, by w. Elizabeth had Samuel, b. 3 Apr. 1701; John, 12 Feb. 1703; Jacob, 6 Apr. 1705; and Michael, 19 May 1707.

Large. is. the name diffus. in this neighborhood. SWETLAND, or SWEETLAND, WILLIAM, Salem, by w. Agnes had Peter, b. 1 Sept. 1676; Grace, 8 Mar. 1680; John, 1 Sept. 1681; and Joseph, 5 Jan. 1684. SWETT, BENJAMIN, Newbury, s. of John the first, b. in Eng. 1626, m. as said in Geneal. Reg. VI. 50, Esther, d. of Peter Weare, had Esther, b. 7 June 1648, perhaps mean.

His wid. m. Capt. Stephen Greenleaf, 31 Mar. 1678, as fam. rep. says, but Coffin, with better regard, calls it 1679, as the first w. of this sec. h. d. Nov. 1678. Of his ds. Esther m. 1668, Abia Green, acc. fam. acco. but wh. he was is unkn. Sarah m. 1678, in same rep. Maurice Hobbs; but Coffin makes him m. Sarah Eastow. BENJAMIN, Hampton, s. of the preced. took o. of fidel. Apr. 1678. JOHN, Newbury, among the early sett. freem. 18 May 1642, brot. from Eng. prob.

Stephen, 27 Jan. 1684; Joseph, 2 Feb. 1687; and Benjamin, 11 Apr. 1688. JOHN, Narraganset 1687. JOHN, Hampton, s. of Benjamin the first, m. 3 Oct. 1696, Bethia, d. of Thomas Page, had Huldah, b. 16 July 1699; Sarah, 23 Dec. 1700; John, 4 Dec. 1702; Elisha, 30 Sept. 1705; Benjamin, 17 Oct 1707; and Joseph; and rem. to Kingston, N. H. there d. early in 1753, leav. wid. Sarah. JOSEPH, Newbury, perhaps s. of the first John, m. 1650, says Coffin, but tells no more; was of Haverhill 1653, and I judge, that he rem. to Boston, where by w. Elizabeth had Joseph, b. 26 Oct. 1658; and Benjamin, 22, bapt. 29 Jan. 1660. Yet nothing more is fofund. JOSEPH, Hampton, s. of Benjamin the first, took o. of fidel. Apr. 1678. MOSES, Hampton, br. of the preced. took o. of fidel. Dec. 1678, m. 12 May 1687, Mary Hussey, had Mary, b. 2 Feb. 1689; and Esther, 10 June 1690, beside four or five others, of wh. one was Deliverance. His will of 15 Apr. 1719, perhaps wd. allow us to suppose all the ch. dec. STEPHEN, Newbury, s. prob. of the first John, b. a 1620 in Eng. m. 24 May 1647, Hannah, d. of the first John Merrill, had John, b. 20 Oct. 1648, d. at 4 yrs.; Stephen, 20 Aug. 1650, d. in few days; Hannah, 7 Oct. 1651; Stephen, again, 28 Jan. 1654; Elizabeth 16 Jan. 1656; Joseph, 28 Nov. 1657; and Mary, 17 Mar. 1662.

In old rec. the name is oft. Sweet. Six had in 1828 been gr. at Harv. as Farmer MS. notes. So oft. is the interchange of Sweet and Swett in old rec. that we must not depend on spell.

JOB, a serg. of Salem vill. now Danvers was prob. s. of the preced. and freem. 1690; in 1686 was 55 yrs. old; and d. 7 Apr. 1700.

May 1635, as found by Mr. Drake, Geneal. Reg. XIV. 309, and had been ment. in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIIl. 259; but notice is never seen of him aft. and perhaps the name is mistak. SYKES, RICHARD, Dorchester 1639, freem. 13 May 1640. See Sikes. SYLVESTER. See Silvester. SYMMES, JOHN, Scarborough, sw. alleg. to Mass. July 1658. TIMOTHY, Charlestown, s. of Rev.

WILLIAM, Medford or Charlestown, s. of the preced. m. Ruth, perhaps d. of Josiah Convers of Woburn, had William, b. 10 Oct. 1705, wh. d. young; Zechariah, 1 Sept. 1707; Josiah, 7 Apr. 1710, d. young; Elizabeth; Timothy; John; and William, H. C. 1750, min. of Andover; and d. 24 May 1764. ZECHARIAH, Charlestown, came in 1634, with Rev. John Lothrop, William Hutchinson and his w. the gr. prophetess, arr. 18 Sept. brot. w. Sarah and ch. Sarah; William, bapt. 10 Jan. 1627; Mary, 16 Apr. 1628; Elizabeth 1 Jan. 1630; Hulda, 18 Mar. 1631; Hannah, 22 Aug. 1632; and Rebecca, 12 Feb. 1634; had here Ruth, b. 18, bapt. 25 Oct. 1635; Zechariah, 9, bapt. 14 Jan. not 9, as Geneal. Reg. XIII. p. 5, says, 1638, H. C. 1657; Timothg 7, bapt. 10 May 1640, d. soon Deborah, 28 Aug. bapt. 4 Sept. 1642; but the dates of bapt. of the last three are wrong, in the copy by Budington scrupulously. foll. and the orig. being lost, we are always doubtful, whether the transcript is correct. In ea. of the three cases, the Geneal. Reg. XIII. 135, has used the day of birth, but without turn. to the almanac, call. it the day of bapt. Worse error than this readers may be led into by tak. the order of the ch. where Sarah is rank. under 12, as the youngest d. when she was the eldest of the eight ds. if not of the thirteen ch. Timothy, again, whose date is not found; and one more s. of Mather, III. 132, has correct. quot. his epit. wh. is doubted. His neighb. Johnson, so many yrs. his parishioner, speaks of ch. "their. numb. being ten, both s. and ds. a certain sign of the Lord's intent to people this vast wilderness," he adds, with juster application of the doings of Providence, than he usual. exhibits. He was b. at Canterbury, in Co. Kent, 5 Apr. 1599, s. of Rev. William, matric. 1617 at Emanuel, and took at the Univ. of Cambridge his A. B. 1620-1, preach. as a lecturer at the ch. of St. Atholines, London, m. July 1621, and there had eldest d. Sarah, but in 1625 bec. rector of Dunstable, in wh. office he had large serv. dur. the plague that extend. wide that yr. Mather, wh. confess. his informat. is not large, says, he was always worried by the prelatists for insuffic. conform. His liv. was not a very good one, as his success. in 1842 wrote me, and his fam. beiug num. he saw prospects of more enlarg. usefulness on our side of the water, join. the ch. of Boston, with his w. 5 Oct. 1634, and that of C. 5 Dec. next, was freem. 6 May foll. was held in high regard, and d. 28 Jan. and was bur. I suppose 4 Feb. 1672, tho. various [[244]] yrs. are nam. his wid. d. 1676. Of his thirteen ch. ten were liv. to be nam. in his will of 20 Jan. 1664. Sarah m. 1650, Rev. Samuel Hough of Reading, wh. d. Mar. 1662, and she m. Nov. foll. his succesor in the pulpit, John Brock; Mary m. 15 Sept. 1652, as sec. w.

It was pro. 31 Mar. 1672, and names the s. William, Zechariah, and Timothy. In his wilI br. William is ment. but he was prob. in Eng. and never came to our country. ZECHARIAH, Bradford, s. of the preced. m. 18 Nov. 1669, Susanna, d. of Thomas Graves of Charlestown, had Sarah, b. 20 May 1672; Zechariah, 13 Mar. 1674; both at B. and at Charlestown had Catharine b. 29 Mar. bapt. 2 Apr. 1676; and b. at B. Thomas, Jan. 1678, H. C. 1698; William, 7 Jan. 1680; and Rebecca, 20 July 1681. His w. d. three days aft. and he m. 26 Nov. 1683, Mehitable, wid. of Samuel Dalton of Hampton. Some confus. is seen a. this fam. in Geneal. Reg. XIII. 135, 6. He had first preach. a short time at Rehoboth, but at B. preach. 14 yrs. Budington says, bef. he was ord. 27 Dec. 1682, and d. 22 Mar. 1708. His s. Thomas was a man of distinct. and suceed. his f. Eliot's Biogr. Dict. gives agreeab. details. Of one of this name, prob. a maiden wh. d. at Cambridge 10 June 1653, no diligence of inquiry can be expect. to enlarge the report of Mr. Paige, "Mrs. Sarah Symmes had a gr. of ld 1639. She appears to have been a lady of wealth, and a mem. of the ch." SYMONDS, BENJAMIN, Woburn, s. of William, freem. 1690, by w. Rebecca had William, b. 14 Feb. 1679; Benjamin, 14 Jan. 1681; Joseph, 1 Mar. 1683; John, 23 Mar. 1685; Rebecca, 6 June 1687; Daniel, 21 Feb. 1690; Jacob, 26 May 1692; Judith, 5 Oct. 1695; and Huldah, 25 Oct. 1700. CALEB, Woburn, br. of the preced. freem. 1690, m. 25 Sept. 1677, Sarah Bacon, had Samuel, b. 30 June 1687; James, 15 Jan. 1684; and Sarah, 11 Nov. 1687, wh. d. in few days. HARLAKENDEN, Gloucester, s. of Samuel the first, b. in Eng. a. 1628, brot. by his f. in 1637, freem. 1665, had w. Elizabeth call. in the will of 3 May 1670, made by Sarah, wid. of Richard Mather (wh. had been wid. of great John Cotton, and in Eng. by him m. as the wid. Story), her gr.ch. and may well be judg. the same in Cotton's will, 1652, nam. as his ch. Betty Day. We know, Cotton then had no gr. ch. and this ch. must have been b. of some d. of the wid. Story, wh. in Eng. or here had m. a Day. That name is found early both at Ipswich and Gloucester; but, tho. Mr. Felt has large [[245]] acquaint. with the early inhab. of both those towns, he can discov. no f. for. this w. of Symonds. By her he had, at G. Sarah, b. 2 July 1668, wh. by the will of her gr. gr. mo. Mather, had gift of one of her cows. But I kn. no more of him exc. that he went home and liv. at Wethersfield in Eng. 1672; nor is it kn. that he ever came back. Mr. Babson informs us, that the wid. ret. to G. where the d. m. a. 1692 Thomas Low; and her mo. d. 31 Jan. 1728, aged 90. HENRY, Boston 1643, perhaps the freem. of 10 May, a man of enterprise, undertook the work of mak. the mill creek for a mill power, under a vote of July, with George Burden, John Button, John Hill and assoc. as is fully stat. in Snow's Hist. of Boston, 124, 5. But he d. in Sept. foll. and was bur. 14th. He had been recommend. by pastor of a ch. at Southampton, and in that right his posthum. ch. was bapt. here 21 Apr. 1644, a. 3 days old by the name, Richgrace, giv. by the wid. mo. no doubt. So it might be infer. that he had gone from Lynn with Rev. Abraham Pierson; and Lechford's Plain Dealing, 43, makes it certain, that he was one of the found. of Pierson's ch. gather. at Lynn, 1641, as Winthrop tells, II. 6, for the object of going to the E. end of Long Island, tho. it is implied from Lechford's language, that he never went. His wid. m. Isaac Walker, and her name was Susan, as appears in act of our Gen. Ct. Rec. II. 104, confirm. to Christopher Lawson est. in Boston that S. had engag. to sell him. JAMES, Salem, s. of John of the same, suppos. to be b. in 1633, perhaps in Eng. m. 20 Nov. 1661, Elizabeth Browning, perhaps d. of Thomas, had Mary, b. 1 Nov. 1662; Ruth, 19 Feb. 1664; John, 8 July 1666; James, 14 Feb. 1671, d. young; Elizabeth 6 Mar. 1673, d. soon; James, again, 1 Apr. 1674; Benjamin, 7 Jan. 1685; Thomas, 1 Apr. 1677; Elizabeth again, 29 Sept. 1679, d. young; Joseph, 20 Mar. 1682; Sarah, 21 Feb. 1688; and Elizabeth again, wh. d. young. As I find not his d. I presume he rem. His eldest d. m. I suppose, 3 Dec. 1685, the third Edward Norris. JAMEES, Woburn, m. 29 Dec. 1685, Susanna Blodget, perhaps d. of the first Samuel, had James, b. 1 Nov. 1686; Susanna, 2 May 1689; Abigail, 17 Jan. 1692; Sarah, 13 Dec. 1694; Nathan, 12 June 1697; and Ruth, 12 Dec. 1699. Prob. he rem. JOHN, Salem 1637, freem. Mar. 1638, had w. Elizabeth and ch. beside James bef. ment.; Samuel, whose bapt. was 4 Nov. 1638; Catharine; and Ruth; and d. a. 1671. His will of 16 Aug. was pro. 19 Sept. of that yr. Catharine, m. 26 June 1657, Jacob Towne of Topsfield; and Ruth m. 19 July 1658, Job Swinnerton of Salem, and d. 22 May 1670. JOHN, Braintree, had d. Ann wh. d. June 1640. JOHN, Portsmouth 1631, one of the men sent by Mason the gr. propr. was aft. of Kittery, in 1650 was "sw. constable for the riv. of Pascataquack," as my copy of York rec. says; and it is prob. that he kept his precinct in good order, for he submit. in 1652 to Mass. and in 1655 and 8 he was of the gr. jury. JOHN, Salem, m. 3 Mar. 1690, Sarah, d. of John Waters, had John, b. 22 Mar. 1692. JOSEPH, Hartford, m. Abigail, d. of Samuel Spencer.

But one of his ws. was not (as frequent. has been boasted), a d. of the first Gov. Winthrop, who had only of four ds. that outliv. two yrs. and she m. Samuel Dudley.

RICHARD, Gloucester, s. of the preced. m. 20 Feb. 1722, Grace Hodgkins, as Babson says, had Hazelelponi, b. that yr.; and William, 1724. SAMUEL, Gloucester, youngest s. of Richard of the same, m. 12 Oct. 1726, Elizabeth William, had four s. but was drown. at Sheepscot riv. 1739.

JOHN, Boston, had been here but short time when he made his will, wh. is one of the first three in our Vol. I. pro. 7 Dec. 1641, refer. to s. Allen in Eng. wh. prob. never came. He was, I judge, a trader, as he speaks of goods remain. beside beq. of money and especial. of trees, no doubt fruit trees, as in Geneal. Reg. II. 104, may be read. NATHANIEL, Billerica 1679, br. of the preced. m. 30 May 1677, Bathsheba, d. of John Wyman.

Billerica 1659, liv. there few yrs. and one yr. was town clk. was freem. 1663, not as Farmer made it 1650, with a supposit. s. of the same name. His will, of [[259]] 28 Apr. 1680, pro 12 Apr. 1683, calls hims. 72 yrs. old, makes w. Grace sole excor. gives Jeremiah and Elizabeth the ground "that the house was burnt on," in the fire of 1679, I suppose; but they are charg. to pay L10 to his gr.d. Elizabeth T. at age of 18, or m.

CLEMENT, Dorchester, owes his being to Farmer under introduct. of Harris, the creat. being due in the highest prob. to the same bad writ. or ill read. as made Tapley out of Topliff.

Rootens made him one of the overseers of his will; and d. 28 Dec. 1667. GEORGE, Scarborough, submit. to Mass. jurisdict. July 1658, had been there from 1636, and was liv. 1681. GREGORY, Watertown, an orig. propr. freem. 14 May 1634, constable 1642, by w. Achsa, says Bond, had Samuel, b. Apr. 1632, d. soon; and ano. s. 11 Mar. 1643, to wh. Bond, 601, gives a name, Seabred, that must be read wrong, in my opin. at least it is wrong as s. of Gregory, if right of Thomas. He soon aft. sold his lds. and is found at Stamford to d. 24 Sept. 1657. His w. d. 18 Aug. 1667, and no heir appear. to take the little prop. the Court allow. it to John Waterbury and his w.

Whence he came, wh. was his f. or when he d. is unkn. but he had been a serv. of John [[261]] Pynchon. JAMES, New Haven, a propr. 1685, of wh. no more is heard. JAMES, Reading, may have been that surveyor, much employ. in 1671 and 2, d. at R. 1703. * JAMES, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 24 Oct. 1674; perhaps is the same wh. by w. Rebecca had Samuel, 5 Dec. 1687; Abigail, 2 Aug; 1690; Ann, 13 Nov. 1692; Sarah, 19 May 1695; William, 19 June 1696; Mercy, 13 Nov. 1700; and Mary, 15 July 1702; and prob. also, was rep. 1689, 93 and 4.

JOHN, Lynn, came prob. in the fleet with Winthrop desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was sw. 18 May foll. Lewis tells, that he was from Haverhill, Co. Suffk. and that his w. and ch. d. on the passage. JOHN, Windsor 1640, but is not kn. to have ever been at Dorchester, was in esteem 1644, and no later is any ment. found, so that he may have had w. and ch. and rem. to some uncert. place. A Rhoda T. at W. 1659, had seat in the meeting ho. and may be thot. his wid. or ch. An Amos T. d. at Windsor, 1644; and Hannah d. there 1650, wh. may have been his ch. or possib. of Stephen. JOHN, Weymouth, in his will of 6 Jan. pro. 22 May 1668, names w. Rebecca, d. Rebecca, w. I suppose, of Richard Gurney, and s. John wh. is made excor. JOHN, Cambridge 1644, freem. 1651, by w. Catharine had Joseph, bapt. at C. H. C. 1669; d. 6 Sept. 1683, fill. the office of butler and was a faithf. serv. of H. C. a. 40 yrs. says the gr.-stone. JOHN, Damariscove 1651, by Sullivan, 287, is found there in 1665. JOHN, Weymouth, prob. s. of John of the same, by w. Phebe, I presume d. of the wid. Ann Rockwood, had Mary, b. 18 May 1660; John, 10 Apr. 1666; and perhaps rem. to Braintree. JOHN, Ipswich, a soldier, k. in the gr. battle with Philip, 19 Dec. 1675. JOHN, Salem 1671, a joiner, may have been s. of Richard of Boston, and rem. to Boston, there by w. Rebecca had John, b. 22 Nov. 1674; William, 21 May 1676; and Elizabeth 1680; but I discov. nothing more. JOHN, Hampton, took the o. of alleg. 25 Apr. 1678; and later in the same yr. ano. JOHN of Hampton was equal. patriot. One of the two, I suppose, by w. Deborah had Mary, b. 3 May 1687. JOHN, Hadley, m. 12 Dec. 1666, Mary, d. of the first Thomas Selden, sw. alleg. 8 Feb. 1679, as did John of Northampton on the same day and this latter better kept his word in becom. freem. 1683.

The wid. liv. with s. John at Norwalk 1724.

NATHANIEL, Windsor, m. 17 Oct. 1678, Abigail, d. of Thomas Bissell, had Hezekiah, b. 23 Aug. 1679. PHILIP, freem. of Mass. 18 May 1642 may have been br. of Richard, wh. in the list stands next bef. him, but I am not able to say more, than that he was of ano. ch. than that of Boston. RICHARD, Boston, br. perhaps of the preced. join. our ch. 1 Jan. 1642, then "a single man and a tailor," was adm. freem. 18 May foll. by w. Mary had John, b. 2, bapt. 6 Feb. 1647; d. 1673.

RICHARD, Charlestown, by w.

RICHARD, Yarmouth, s. of the sec. Richard of the same, serv. in the war against Philip, had Isaac, Joshua, Nathan, Ebenezer, and two ds.

SAMUEL, Ipswich 1648, had been ment. 1638, but never with indicat. of a fam. No w. or ch. is heard of, when at the age of 81 his will was pro. 29 June 1695, in wh. his ho. and ld. are devis. to Samuel Treadwell, perhaps a cous. as he calls Thomas, and Nathaniel Treadwell, Thomas, and Seaborn Wilson, Mary Gains, Esther Hovey, and Martha Cross. SAMUEL, Windsor, had, as Parsons in Geneal, Reg. V. 365, quotes rec. d. Martha, wh. at the age of 20, m. 30 Oct. 1679, Josiah Ellsworth. But his is a sad mistake of Taylor for Gaylord. SAMUEL, Springfield, wh. sw. alleg. there 31 Dec. 1678, or next day, maybe s. of Stephen of Windsor, was a blacksmith at Westfield, by w. Mary had a ch. b. 3 May 1672, d. in few days; Mary, 14 Dec. 1673, d. young; Mary, again, 1675, d. young; Samuel, 1677, d. young; a s. 30 Sept. 1679, d. in few wks.; Joseph, 1 May 1681, d. young; Elizabeth 10 Mar. 1683, d. soon; Elizabeth again, 27 July 1684; [[264]] Mary, again, 3 Mar. 1687; Sarah, 8 Oct. 1689; Hannah, 25 Aug. 1692; and Joseph, again, 4 Mar. 1694; beside a. d. Mercy, in his will of 1723, nam. as dec. leav. ch. Mercy and Mabel Buck. This list varies slightly from that in Geneal. Reg. VI. 266, but seems to me of authori. His will names only s. Joseph, ds. Mary Bush, Elizabeth Phelps, and Hannah Loomis, beside that Mercy, and Sarah, wh. had m. one of the innumer. tribe of Williams, was dec. leav. only ch. Sarah. SAMUEL, Wethersfield, s. of William of the same, by w.

SEABRED, Reading, s. of Thomas of Watertown, m. 22 Nov. 1671, Mary, d. of Richard Harrington, was freem. 1677, against wh. I hardly suppose that Farmer design. any imput. when he calls him Sinbred. STEPHEN, Windsor, perhaps br. of the first John of the same, m. 1 Nov. 1642, Sarah Hosford, d. of Rev. William, had Stephen, b. 11 Mar. 1644; Samuel, 8 Oct. 1647; and by sec. w. m. 25 Oct. 1649, Elizabeth Newell, had John, 22 Mar. 1652; Thomas, 5 Oct. 1655; Abigail, 19 Mar. 1657; Mary, 18 June 1661; Mindwell, 5 Nov. 1663; and Nathaniel, 24 May 1668, d. at 14 yrs.; was in the list of freem. Oct. 1669. He d. 1 Sept. 1668, and his wid. d. 5 Aug. foll. acc. one rep. but Stiles says, 14 Dec. 1717. He call. hims. 66 yrs. old in 1684.

His wid. m. 15 Oct. 1666, Barnabas Hindsdale, wh. was k. by the Ind. 18 Sept. 1675; and she had third h. Feb. 1679, Walter Hickson. He may have been s. of John of Hartford, but whence he came, is uncert. STEPHEN, Boston, by w. Hannah had Hannah, b. 2 July 1668. STEPHEN, Suffield, s. of the first Stephen, m. 8 Nov. 1676, Joanna Porter of Farmington, prob. d. of Thomas, had Sarah, b. 16 July 1679; Joanna, 28 Mar. 1682; rem. to Windsor, had there Stephen, 9 May 1685; Stephen, again, 8 May 1688; William, 14 Mar. 1689; and perhaps others, and d. 3 Aug. 1707. THOMAS, Watertown, 1642, by w. Elizabeth had Seabred, b. 11 Mar. 1643; rem. to reading, and d. 1690. THOMAS, Norwalk 1666, m. 14 Feb. 1668, Rebecca, d. of Edward Ketchum, had Thomas, b. 26 Nov. 1668; Deborah, June 1671; and prob. others, for the name was long cont. in that town, where he was freem. 1670, but he rem. to Danbury, as one of the early sett.

The f. of his first w. in leav. her a legacy by his will, declar. that "Thomas Taylor shall have nothing to do with it," and that was caus. by his ill conduct. THOMAS, Springfield, s. of Jonathan of the same, m. 29 Dec. 1687, Mary, d. of John Petty, had Hannah, b. 18 Aug. 1690; and d. at Springfield Apr. 1691. WILLIAM, Lynn 1642. WILLIAM, Wethersfield, by w. Mary had Samuel, b. 1647, perhaps d. soon; John, 1649; Sarah; ano. Samuel; Mary, 1654; William, 1659; Margaret, 1663; Jonathan, 1666; and the seven ch. were liv. 1720. WILLIAM, New London, kn. there, says Caulkins, only 1650 to 3, perhaps was not the freem. 1669 of Wethersfield. WILLIAM, Concord, m. Mary Meriam, perhaps d. of Joseph, had John, b. 19 Oct. 1653; Samuel, 3 July 1655, d. in few ds.; Abraham, 14 Nov. 1656; Isaac, 1659; Jacob, 8 May, 1662; Joseph, 1665; and Mary; and Shattuck says, he d. 6 Dec. 1696. WILLIAM, Boston, merch. by w. Rebecca had Elizabeth b. 17 May 1667;' and Thomas, 18 Feb. 1674; was much disting. for active enterpr. but fell into melancholy, and d. by his own hd. 12 July 1682. See Russell's Diary in Geneal. Reg. VII. 53 and Bradstreet's in I b. VIII. 332 or IX. 50. WILLIAM, Scituate, br. of Isaac of the same, and elder, as Deane thot. had Lydia, b. 1688; Elizabeth 1692; and Mary, 1696. Of his name I see 20 gr. at Yale, and 15 at Harv. TEAD, TEED, or TED, JOHN, Charlestown 1637, emb. 12 May of that yr. at Yarmouth, aged 19, as serv. of Samuel Greenfield of Norwich, but perhaps was not desir. by his master of acomp.him, aft. reach. this side of the ocean, if, as seems prob. he be the person call.

Yet one of this name was propound. for freem. in 1664, tho. no more heard of. See 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 101, and Geneal, Reg. XIV. 328. JOSHUA, Charlestown 1637, perhaps br. of the preced. was adm. of the ch. 10 Mar. 1639, and freem. 22 May foll. and his w. Sarah join. the ch. 9 Sept. aft. By the town rec. they had John, b. 15 June 1641; and Joseph, 15 Dec. 1643. In the ch. bapt. wh. suffer. a sad blank for many yrs. aft. 20 Sept. 1642, the name of no [[266]] ch. but the first would be look. for, and that is not seen, so that it may be the ch. d. soon. He was, in 1648, agent for Richard Young, wh. had in London, contrib. to our com. stock, and obt. for him his share of 100 acres of ld. selectman 1660 and 8, lieut. in 1678, on 15 Sept. of wh. yr. he d. aged 71. Oft. it was writ. Tydd, and in mod. days is altogether Tidd. TEAKE, HENRY, is the misprint in Geneal. Reg. VII. 226, for Feake, Henry, of Lynn. TEFFE. See Tiffe. TELL, WILLIAM, Malden, freem. 1690, tho, in my opin. the name is design. for Teal, wh. by w. Mary had Abigail, b. 1 Jan.1686; Benjamin, 2 Nov. 1689; Elizabeth 22 June 1696; Oliver, 19 July 1699; and Rachel, 1 Aug. 1703. TEMPLAR, TEMPLE or TEMPLER, ABRAHAM, Salem 1637, had Abraham. ABRAHAM, Concord, s. perhaps of the preced. m. 1673, Deborah Hadlock, had Richard, Abigail, Mary, and Joseph; had perhaps rem. to Charlestown, there had a d. b. 1686; but certaiN. was at Concord freem. 1690. ISAAC, Concord, s. of Richard, freem. 1690. JOHN, Boston, freem. 1671, was liv. 1695. RICHARD, Yarmouth, there is in the list of those able to bear arms, 1643, by w.

From ascert. that his wid. m. 10 Apr. 1674, Nathaniel Morton, Secr. of Plymouth Col. I was led to correct the erroneous inference, authorized by Charlestown rec. that the was recent. d. in Mar. 1678, as his ho. is ment. but not the person.

RICHARD, Concord, s. of the preced. freem. 1690, by w. Sarah had Richard, b. 1692; and Joseph, 1694; and d. 16 Feb. 1698 or 9. RICHARD, Reading, s. of Robert, m. Deborah, d. of the sec.

ROBERT, Saco bef. 1670, perhaps, sev. yrs. [[267]] had Richard, b. a. 1668, and prob. other ch. wh. with their mo. it is thot. on destruct. of the town in 1676, when he was k. by the Ind. were forced to go to Boston for refuge. THOMAS, an Eng. knight and baronet, came to Boston, with favor of appoint. by Cromwell to be Gov. of Acadia, in 1657, assoc. with Col. Crowne, as grantee of Nova Scotia, spent many yrs this side of the water, speculat. in the lds. far and near, join the ch. of Increase Mather in June 1670, yet was careful to hold good terms with Charles II. (wh. renew, his office of Gov.) with wh. in former yrs. he interpos. his kind offices to befriend N. E. One mark of this I copied in the State Paper office at London, July 1842, being his letter to Secr. Morrice from Boston, Aug. 1661, about the regicides, Whalley and Goffe, with a very curious one from Rev. John Davenport, on the same subject, addressed to Temple. The clerg. beats the courtier on that topic; but allowance is to be made for the cause, inasmuch as Temple was sincere, we may well suppose, and be more sure that Davenport was not. He thought a little equivocation justifiable for the glory of God,and safety of the prescribed. A pleasant anecdote is relat. by Hutchinson of T.'s persuad. the king, that the pine tree on the coin struck in Boston, was the royal oak that saved his majesty. I doubt not, this is as near the truth as tradit. oft. reaches; perhaps it was uttered by the traveller to our friend the Earl of Manchaster, or even to the Earl of Clarendon, whose well-tried loyalty quarrelled not with discretion; and in the way of trifling not uncommon in that court, may possib. tho. I think not, have got up to the throne. If the merry monarch had been ill-natured eno. to ask what the date, 1652, meant. Sr. Thomas must have had awkward sensations. He d. in London, 27 Mar. 1674, had left at B. a will of 14 Oct. 1671, pro. 28 July 1674, but all the excors. Gov. Leverett capt. Lake, capt.

WILLIAM, Plymouth, came in the Fortune 1621, alone, as count. in the allot. of lds. and, as is said, d. bef. 1638. As his name does not appear in the div. of cattle. 1627, he may well be suppos. to have d. so much earlier, unless a rem. to ano. place, can be plausib. assert. See Morton's Mem. and Young's Chron. TENNEY or TENNY, DANIEL. Bradford, m. 21 July 1680, Elizabeth Stickney, perhaps d. of William. DANIEL, Rowley, youngest s. of Thomas, by w.

Of this name there had been, as Farmer in Ms. noted, four gr. at Harv. two at Yale, and ten at other N. E. coll. in 1834. TEREBERRY, HENRY, is a nickname, to be found on the Boston rec. of births of Tewksbury. See that. TERHAM or TURHAM, THOMAS, Guilford 1685, m. Mary, wid. of Henry Wise, and d. 1696, leav. wid.

ROGER, Milford 1639, if Barber, Coll. 231, be correct, is count. there among free. 1669; and at the same time John, perhaps his br. was propound. for freem. He m. the d. of the first Thomas Ufford. His d. Abigail m. William Tyler. Ano. Roger must be seen in Cothren's Ancient Woodbury, if he is correct. He was first of Stratford, but a signer of the fundam. articles for settlem. of W. 14 Feb. 1673, and d. 17 Apr. 1722, and his wid. Sarah, d. 13 Apr. 1728. The ch. were Abigail, bapt.

TERRY, EPHRAIM, Springfield, s. of the first Samuel, m. 25 July 1695, Hannah, d. of James Eggleston of Windsor. JOHN, Windsor, may be that one wh. came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 32, from London, fellow passeng. with John Winthrop perhaps was first of Dorchester, and may have been br. of Stephen, is found among the freem. and prob. had been for some yrs. in 1669, unless this freem. may rather seem to be JOHN, Windsor, s. of Stephen, wh. m. 27 Nov. 1662, Elizabeth d. of William Wadsworth, had Elizabeth b. 16 Dec. 1663; or as ano. says 1664; Stephen, 6 Oct. 1666; Sarah, 16 Nov. 1668; John 22 Mar. 1670; Rebecca, 7 Jan. 1672, d. young; Mary, 19 July 1673; Solomon, 29 Mar. 1675; and Rebecca, again, 27 Feb. 1677, d. young. RICHARD, Southold, L. I. 1662, came at the age of 17, in the James, 1635, from London, with Thomas [[269]] and Robert, prob. his elder brs. and was accept. as freem. of Conn. in 1662. ROBERT, was aged 25, when he emb. at London, 1635, in the James, with Thomas, prob. elder, and Richard, younger, brs. but no more is found of this name. SAMUEL, Springfield, said to be brought in 1650, by Pynchon, from Barnett 11 ms. from London, where he was b. Apr. 1632, was resid. as Dr. Sprague thinks a. 1654, m. 3 Jan. 1660, Ann Lobdell, perhaps sis. of Simon, had Samuel, b. 18 July 1661; Ephraim, 26 Aug. 1663, d. young; Thomas, 6 Mar. 1665; Mary, July 1667; Rebecca, 25 July 1669, d. soon; Ephraim, again, 3 Feb. 1672; Rebecca, again, 5 Dec. 1673; Elizabeth 25 Mar. 1677, d. very soon; and Ann; and on the last day of 1678 or first of 1679, he, and Samuel, jr. his s. took o. of alleg. m. 19 Nov. 1690, sec. w. Sarah Scott, and after 1700 rem. to Enfield and d. 1731. SAMUEL, Enfield, s. of the preced. m. 17 May 1682, Hannah, sis. of Isaac Morgan, I think, and said to have been the first m. in that sett. bef. it was made a town by separat. from Springfield, had Hannah, b. 18 Nov. 1684; Samuel, 26 Mar. 1690; Rebecca, 15 Nov. 1692; Ebenezer, 31 Mar. 1696; and Benjamin, 13 Oct. 1698; and his w. d. 17 Jan. 1697. By sec. w. m. 4 Jan.1699, Martha, wid. of Benjamin Crane, whose surname, as Goodwin has it, Credan, looks very strange, he had Ephraim, b. 24 Oct. 1701; Jacob, 20 Feb. 1704; Martha, perhaps 18 Feb. 1706, d. next mo. Jonathan, 17 Nov. 1707; and Isaac, 17 Apr. 1713; and d. 1730. His wid. d. 29 May 1743. STEPHEN, Dorchester, came 1630, prob. in the Mary and John, on 19 Oct. req. adm. and 18 May 1631, was allow. freem. held in good repute, appoint. constable as in Coll. Rec. I. 151 appears evid. of his being sw. 7 July 1635, next yr. partook of the spirit of migrat. and prob. rem. with the major pt. of the ch. and Rev. John Warham their min. at least we kn. he was in Windsor 1637, and twenty yrs. aft. was one of those engag. in the first troop of cavalry estab. in the country. Who his w. was, or whether be brot. her form Eng. is not ascert. but of ch. Mary was b. at D. 31 Dec. 1635; John, m. 6 Mar. 1638 at W.

Sept. 1677; Abigail m. 9 May 1667, as his sec. w. lieut. Joseph Kellogg, and was liv. in 1715. THOMAS, Southold, came 1635, aged 28, with Richard, and Robert, prob. his younger brs. in the James from London; they all, perhaps, contin. in Mass. some yrs. tho. the town is not kn. at least we see, in Dec. 1638, that the leader of the three was, by the Gen. Ct. order. to appear at next Ct. See Rec. I. 248. To Long Isl. they went prob. by 1646, and Thomas was accept. as freem. of Conn. 1662. THOMAS, [[270]] Springfield, s. of the first Samuel, m. 21 Apr. 1687, Mary Cooley. One of this name at Harv. and seven at Yale, had been gr. in 1852. TETHERLY, GABRIEL, and WILLIAM are seen in Maine a. 1680, perhaps trans. But of William we kn. that he was of Biddeford in Co. Devon, and at Boston, 1664, 5, 6, and 8. TEW, * RICHARD, styled s. and heir of Henry, Portsmouth, R. I. 1640; Newport 1654, on the list of freem. 1655, was rep. and assist. is one of the grantees in the royal chart. 1663, had m. bef. com. from Eng. Mary, d. of William Clark, of Hardwick Priors, Co. Warwick, and had a d. b. 4 June 1640, on his voyage, and therefore nam. Seaborn; and Elnathan, 15 Oct. 1644; perhaps others; Seaborn m. 5 Jan. 1658, Samuel Billings; Elnathan m. 3 Nov. 1664, Thomas Harris; and Mary, prob. ano. d. m. 30 Dec. 1670, Andrew Harris. TEWKSBURY, TEWXBERRY, TUKSBERY, or TUXBURY, HENRY, Newbury, rem. to Boston m. 10 Nov. 1659, Martha, wid. of William Harvey of B. had Elizabeth b. 22 Aug; foll.; Hannah, 1 Sept. 1662; Henry, 15 Dec. 1664; Naomi, 18 Jan. 1667; and Ruth, 10 Mar. 1669; took o. of alleg. 13 May 1669, and again hav. rem. to Amesbury, was call. to the same, 20 Dec. 1677; grew to be freem. 1680. * THOMAS, Manchester 1686, was rep. 1692. THACHER, or THATCHER, * ANTHONY, Marblehead, came from Salisbury in Co. Wilts, where he had serv. occasion. as curate for Peter Thacher 1631 and 4, the rector of St. Edmunds in that city, wh. prob. was his br. He had been a non-conformist, liv. in Holland more than 20 yrs. bef. and emb. on 6 Apr. 1635 at Southampton in the James (tho. we might by Hubbard, 200, be misled to think he came in the Angel Gabriel, cast away, 15 Aug.) and arr. at Boston 3 June, in the ship's clearance call. a tayler for decept. not of the inferiors at the custom ho. wh. certif. that the total num. of men, youths, and boys, was 53, when we are sure there were many more perhaps, a hundred and fifty percent. He brot. a sec. w. and four ch. William, b. of the first w. as may have been some of the rest, Mary, Edith, and Peter, a babe, and prob. was accomp. by the cous. Rev. Joseph Avery, with w. and six ch. and his neph. Thomas, afterwards first min. of the third or O. S. ch. in Boston, beside a serv. Peter Higden; but of all these, only the names of Higden and of Anthony P. appear in that list of 53. Such was the mode of evasion of the petty tyranny of the Lords of the Council. The ship was of 300 tons, and might well have brot. 150 passeng. when so many were eager to come, yet the names of 53 alone are giv. Most of these went to Ipswich, and a large part of them sett. the same and foll. yr. at Newbury; but Thacher with his friend Avery, wh. was invit. to [[271]] preach at Marblehead, with all their respect. ch. and fam. exc. his neph. Thomas, then 15 yrs. old, wh. prefer. ld. travel, emb. in a pinnace of Isaac Allerton to return from I. to M. on 15 Aug. 1635, and next day were wreck. on a rock, or rather ledge off Cape Ann. Of 23 persons in that little bark, all but Thacher and his w. were drown. He and she were cast on the barren islet, ever since call Thacher's woe, as the outer rock, gain. the name of Avery's fall. Slight acco. of this sad occur. is in Magn. II. cap. 2, but fuller in Winthrop I. 165, and the personal relat. of the whole by the suffer. is in Young's Chron. of Mass. 483, and I can recommend no more strik. narrative in our early hist. He was by the Ct. made admor. of Joseph Avery, as Col. Rec. I. 154, shows. Our Gen. Ct. bestow a good sum in money on the surv. suffer. as in Rec. I. 1557 appears, and afterwards, Ib. 191, made a gr. of that diastrous isl. for an inherit. wh. was not, I imagine, worth tak. into possess. He preach. perhaps, short time at Marblehead, where he had prob. Judah; John, b. 17 Mar. 1639; but went for perman. settlem. bef. 1643, to Yarmouth, and had Bethia, wh. m. Jabez Howland; and Rodolphus in my conject. For a season he was of Marshfield, rep. for Y. 1643-7. He had at Salisbury in O. E. Benjamin, b. 13, bapt. 27 Apr. 1634, but this ch. perhaps d. soon; as did his mo. Mary if a fam. mem. be correct, wh. says that his sec. w. tak. a few wks. bef. sail. was Elizabeth Jones; and he d. at Y. where his inv. is dat. 22 Aug. 1667, if Alden's Epit. I. 120 may be correct. aged 80. * John, Yarmouth, youngest s. of the preced. m. 6 Nov. 1664, Rebecca, d. of the first Josiah Winslow, and niece of the first Gov. w. had Peter, b. 26 Apr. as one report is, or by ano. 20 May 1665; Josiah, 26 Apr. 1667, both bapt. 26 Apr. 1668; Rebecca, 1, bapt. 6 June 1669; Bethia, 10, bapt. 16 July 1671; John, 28 Jan. bapt. 14 Feb. 1675; Elizabeth 19 June, bapt. 22 July 1677; Hannah, 19, bapt. 24 Aug. 1679, d. at ten yrs.; and Mary, 3 Aug. bapt. 24 Sept. 1682, d. young. His w. d. 15 July foll. and many lamentable verses he wrote on her. By sec. w. m. 11 Jan. 1684, Lydia, d. of John Corham, he had Lydia, 11, bapt. 22 Feb. 1685; Mary, again, 5 Feb. bapt. 6 Mar. 1687; Desire, 24 Dec. 1688, bapt. 27 Jan. foll.; Hannah, 9, bapt. 12 Oct. 1690; Mercy, 23 July 1692, d. next mo.; Judah, 20, bapt. 27 Aug. 1693; Mercy, again, 28 Dec. 1695, bapt;. next day, d. at 8 mos.; Ann, 7 May, bapt. 27 June 1697; Joseph, 11, bapt. 16 July 1699; Benjamin, 25 June, bapt. 3 Aug. 1701; Mercy, again, 7 Feb. bapt. same day 1703; and Thomas, 2 Apr. bapt. 20 May 1705, as the town rec. has it, tho. I have seen a fam. MS. that makes the yr. 1711, wh. is prob. erron. Forty-one yrs. would seem a suffic. period for hav. ch. He was rep. 1668 and twelve yrs. foll. Assist. many yrs. aft. and a counsel. under new chart, d. 8 May 1713. Fourteen of his twenty ch. m. for the [[272]] blessing of the cape. JUDAH, Yarmouth, s. prob. eldest, of Anthony, on our side of the water, m. Mary, d. of Rev. Thomas Thornton, and of descend. this report is giv. Elizabeth b.

PETER, Yarmouth 1678, may have been s. of that John, b. aft. his f.'s shipwreck, and so call. in mem. of that babe lost in the disaster of 1635. Yet I marvel, that some earlier writer was not enabled to foll. up the geneal. PETER, Milton, youngest s. of Rev. Thomas, freem. 1678, at the same time with his friend, the first Ch. just. Sewal, accomp. ano. classmate, Samuel Danforth, to Europe, and on his d. near the end of 1676, came back soon; m. 21 Nov. 1677, Theodora, d. of Rev. John Oxenbridge of the first ch. wh. had eight yrs. bef. been in fierce enmity with the third ch. founded for his f. and so. I hope, some help was giv. to the quiet that began, soon aft. the d. of Gov. Bellingham, to reign thro. the colony so long disturb. He was ord. first min. of M. 1681, had Theodora; Bathsheba; Oxenbridge, b. 17 May 1681, H. C. 1698; Elizabeth; Mary; Peter, 6 Oct. 1688, H. C. 1706, min. of Middleborough; John, d. young; Thomas, 1693, d. at 28 yrs. and John, again. His ord. at M. was, if we obey the auth. of Farmer, in Sept. 1681. There his w. d. 18 Nov. 1697, and he m. next Susanna, wid of Rev. John Bailey, wh. d. 4 Sept. 1724 in her 59th yr. and he m. Elizabeth wid. of the first Joshua Gee, and d.

Joshua Gee at 3d w. when Gee was the surv. by many yrs. and his mo.-in-law Elizabeth d. of Judah Thacher bec. third w. of Peter T. His preach. a Serm. that Eliot calls beautif. on the d. of G.'s w. but that was only a single yr. bef. his own. RODOLPHUS, or RALPH, Duxbury, s. of Thomas, m. 1 Jan. 1670, Ruth, d. of George Partridge of the same, had Thomas, b. 9 Oct. foll. Elizabeth 1 Mar. 1672; Ann, 26 Nov. 1673, d. young; Ruth, 1 Nov. 1675; Rodolophus, 9 Jan. 1678; Lydia, 24 Jan. 1680; Mary 8 Mar. 1682; Ann, again, 30 Mar. 1684; and Peter, 17 Aug. 1686; was constable 1678, and sev. yrs. from 1685, clk. of the town. But his benevo. carr. him to Chilmark on Martha's vineyard, where he preach. many yrs. and in June 1711 gave to his s. "Rodolphus, alias Ralph" est. of 60 acres. See Mather's Hecatompolis, in Mag.

Hannah, m. 13 Sept. 1664, wh. d. 24 May 1670; s. Samuel and his first ch. with sev. other person, wh. I judge to be not relat. but only friends. SAMUEL, Watertown, s. of the preced. at Lynn m. 11 Apr. 1676, Mary Farnsworth, prob. d. of Mathias, had Mary, b. 1 Aug. 1681, d. at 9 mos.

Of the Watertown fam. descend. all retain the old spell. as if deriving their name from the early occupat. of a thatcher, wh. seems very prob. THOMAS, Weymouth, s. of Rev. Peter, rector of St. Edmunds, Salisbury, in Co. Wilts, b. 1 May 1620, bef. his f. was induct. (but the fam. orign was prob. Co. Somerset) came with his uncle Anthony in the James from Southampton, arr. at Boston 4 June 1635, went to Ipswich with his uncle and other friends, but avoid the peril of their return in Aug. of the same, yr. in wh. all but Anthonly and his w. were lost, was put under the direct. of Rev. Charles Chauncey of Scituate, wh. prepared him for his profess. with great dilig. He m. 11 May 1643, Elizabeth youngest d. of Rev. Ralph Partridge of Duxbury, and was ord. min. at W.

His good sense unit. with a general acquaint. in science of that day acquir. for him great reput. as a physician, and to complete his honors, Mather wh. always loves an exaggera. makes him compose a Hebrew Lexicon, so compress. "that within one sheet of paper, he had every considerable word of the language." The ch. were Thomas, Ralph; alias Rodolphus; Peter, b. at Salem, (we kn. not by wh. accid. the mo. was there) 18, bapt. 20 July 1651, H. C. 1671; Patience; and Elizabeth wh. m. Nathaniel Davenport, the brave capt. k. in the gr. Narraganset battle, 19 Dec. 1675, and next. m. 1677, Samuel Davis. His w. d. 2 June 1664, soon aft. wh. he m. Margaret, wid. of Jacob Sheaffe, d. of Henry Webb, and rem. to Boston, join. the first ch. 4 Aug. 1667, and was desir. to be min. of a new society there, since call. the O. S. ch. growing out of the dissatisf. at the descept. artifices for bring. of Davenport from New haven to succeed Wilson. In Oct. 1669, to save the feelings of his fellow-worship. he took dismiss. to the ch. at Charlestown, and on 16 Feb. foll. was install, over the new ch. of B. and was held in high esteem. In 1674, he with Increase Mather, was add. to former licensers of the press; and he d. 15 Oct. 1678, as on p. 152 of the Magn. III. is told, tho. on the next p. where he gives as a curiosity some elegiac [[274]] strains in Latin and Greek by an Ind. youth nam. Eleazer, then student in the senior class at Harv. the Eccles. Histor. with his aptitude for error, makes it 18 Oct. Still his life is one of the best in the vol. tho. Eliot has judiciously curtail. it by four fifths. His wid. d. 23 or 4 Feb. 1694, as town rec. and Sewall's Diary tell. Patience m. William Kemp. THOMAS, Boston, merch. eldest s. of the preced. m.

His name is oft. repeat. on acco. of the extraord. circumst. of his being brot. from the pulpit at W. to the new North ch. in Boston, as collea. with Rev. John Webb, wh. had been gr. at Harv. 12 yrs. later. How long aft. 1696 he was ord. at W. or what were the concomitants of his lot there are unkn. That he must have been highly regard. at W. and not thro. the partiality of a few hearers, wh. rememb. the powers of his uncle half a century bef. is a resonab. presumpt. and why many should have desir. him is easier to conject. than the reason for the bitter and most indecent repugnance to his installat. that any of the petty squabbles a. the introd. of a min. in any parish of N. E. have produced. Four, five, or six publicat. on the two sides, may be preserv. by the curious for this eventful yr. 1720, on 28 Jan. in wh. an ordain. council was ablig. to go secret. to the house of worship in Boston; where the disord. vulgarity, as tradit. relates, was too bad to be entrusted even to printing. He d. 26 Feb. 1739. Of this name 19 had in 1854, ben gr. at Harv. and 4 at Yale. THARPE, NATHANIEL, New Haven, perhaps s. of William, was punish. 1664, for steal. from an Ind. contin. propr. 1685.

NATHANIEL, Taunton, [[277]] of wh. with confid. no more is kn. but that he had Joanna, b. 13 Dec. 1665, wh. m. 7 Jan. 1690, John Crossman, was a propr. 1668. But other ch. prob. he had, for in the list of ms. only few yrs. bef. and aft. appear the names of Mary, twice, Abigail, Elizabeth and William, all of wh. may not be deriv. from Braintree. NATHANIEL, Boston, s. prob. of Richard the first, was freem. 1690, and d. 28 Mar. 1728; by w. Deborah, had Nathaniel, b. 28 Aug. 1671, prob. d. young; Nathaniel, again, 11 July 1681; Zechariah, 29 May 1683; Cornelius, 14 Nov. 1684; John, 2 Apr. 1687, d. soon; John, again, 2 July 1688; Ebenezer, 1 Feb. 1690, H.

Richard, Deborah, Sarah, and perhaps more, as prob. Cornelius, Nathaniel and Zechariah. Sarah m. 20 July 1651, Samuel Davis, rem. to Braintree, and had d. 27 Aug. 1696. In 36 Pages of Thayer's fam. Geneal. are compris. many of the progeny of this Richard alone.

Jael, and Abigail, and Cornelius, 18 Sept. 1670; went home on business, and came back 1679, as is told, and d. 4 Dec. 1705. His wid. d. the next week aft. He made complaint in Eng. against our Col. to wh. the answ. in Remonstrance of Braintree is one of the most curious papers in our annals. It may be read in 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. V. 104. RICHARD, Braintree, s. of the preced. prob. serv. in Philip's war, of Johnson's comp. 1675, m. 16 July 1679, Rebecca Mycall, d. of James, had Rebecca, b. 16 Aug. 1680; Benjamin, 6 Oct. 1683; Richard, 26 Jan. 1685; John, 12 Jan. 1688; Mary, Feb. 1689; James, 16 Nov. 1691; Deborah, bapt. 11 Apr. 1697; Ann, 14 Nov. 1697; Gideon, b. 26 July 1700; and Obadiah, 1 May 1703; and d. 11 Sept. 1729.

SAMUEL, Mendon, s. of Ferdinando, by w. Mary had Samuel, b. 1 Dec. 1691; Sarah, 11 Feb. 1695; Huldah, 30 Nov. 1698; Mary, 11 Feb. 1701; Joseph, July 1707; and Benjamin, 11 Sept. 1709; was lieut. and d. 19 Dec. 1721. SHADRACH, SYDRACK, or SIDRICK, Braintree, youngest s. of the first Thomas, b. in Eng. m. 1 [[278]] Jan. 1655, Mary Barrett, had Rachel, b. 9 Oct. 1655 (Geneal. Reg. XII. 108, says 9 Nov.), d. next yr.; and trial, 7 Feb. 1658. His w. d. 2 Apr. foll. and he m. Deliverance Priest, had Freelove, 30 June 1662, d. in few wks.; Mary, 1 Apr. 1663; Timothy, 3 Sept. 1666, Samuel, 7 Sept. 1667; Ephraim, 17 Jan. 1669; Hannah, 8 Apr. 1672, d. bef. 6 yrs.; and William, 1 Aug. 1675. He d. 19 Oct. 1678, and his wid. d. 17 Jan. 1723. Of the descend. of Shadrach the numerat. is by thousands, and part of them fill 87 pages in Thayer's Geneal. THOMAS, Braintree, shoemaker, perhaps elder br. of Richard the first, brot. from Eng. perhaps as late as 1645, w. Margery, and three prolific s. Thomas, Ferdinando, and Shadrach, or Sydrach, as in his will of 21 June 1664, he calls him; was freem. 1647, when it is writ. Tayer; d. 2 June 1665, well advanc. in yrs.; and his will was pro. 13 Sept. foll. His wid. d. 11 Feb. 1673. THOMAS, Braintree, s. of the preced. perhaps brot. from Eng. w. Ann, and s. Thomas, here had Elizabeth b. 23 Mar. 1647; Isaac, 7 Sept. 1654, d. young; John, 25 Dec. 1656; Experience, 15 Feb. or Mar. 1659; Isaac, again, 30 May 1661; Ebenezer, 7 July 1665;; and Deborah, d. young. He d. 9 Aug. 1693, aged 69; and his wid. d. 7 Feb. 1698. THOMAS, Braintree, s. of the preced. perhaps, but not prob. b. in Eng. m. 25 Mar. 1680, Abigail d. of William Veazie, had Thomas, b. 14 Jan. 1681; William 15 Aug. 1682; and Abigail, 13 July 1685; and d. 7 Dec. 1705. His wid. d. 11 Jan. 1712. THOMAS, Mendon, s. of Ferdinando, by w. Mary had Mary, b. 19 Jan. 1689; Thomas, 14 Jan. 1694; Samuel, 28 Mar. 1696; Temperance, 7 July 1698; David, 8 Feb. 1701; Elizabeth 2 Mar. 1703; John, 17 Sept. 1706; William, 22 Jan. 1708; Margaret, 12 Dec. 1710; and Jemima, 13 Feb. 1712. WILLIAM, Braintree, youngest s. of Shadrach, m. 22 Sept. 1699, wid. Hannah Hayward, had Bethia, bapt. 18 Aug. 1700; Jonathan, 2 May 1703; and William, 11 May 1705. ZECHARIAH, Braintree, s. prob. of Richard the first, d. prob. unm. 29 July 1693. Remarkable may appear the fact, that so few of these men took the o. of freemen, but it is kn. that fewer from Braintree than any other town appear. In 1678, five were sw. and hardly as many more can be seen in the long period preced. from 1630. So little, comparative. was the migrat. of these fams. of Thayer, that in the catalog. of gr. at Harv. are seen nineteen, and not one at Yale. THEALE, THELE, THEELE, or THALE, * JOSEPH, Stamford, prob. s. of Nichoals of Watertown, freem. 1662, is by me presum. to be that man made freem. 1662, whose name in Conn. Col. Rec. I. 391, is giv. Threed; but he was of too much value to be thus obscur. rep. 1671, 3, 5, 6, and 7; aft. 1687; had good est. rem. to Bedford, just beyond the Col. bound. in jurisdict. of N. Y. and I regret that no genealog. details are attain. [[279]] NICHOLAS, Watertown 1638, by w. Eliz had Joseph, b. 24 Oct. 1640; and Elizabeth 5 June 1643; prob. in the autumn of 1645 rem. to Stamford, there d. 19 Aug. 1658. His will dispos. his prop to w. and the two ch.

JONATHAN, Ipswich 1641, may have soon aft. been of Hampton, next at Wells, submit. 1653, to the governm. of Mass. and was appoint. constable. JONATHAN, Exeter, prob. s. of the preced. m. Mary, eldest d. of John Gilman, had Jonathan, b. 21 Sept. 1678; John, 16 June 1680; Bartholomew, 25 Feb. 1682; Joseph, Nov. 1684; Elizabeth; Benjamin, 12 Nov. 1688; and Josiah, 1690; was of the gr. jury 1684, and constable next yr. and d. 31 Oct. 1694, in his 40th yr. his w. hav. d. in Aug. 1691, under 33 yrs. as the inscript. on the gr.stones prove. A jury of inq. on the body of capt. Jonathan, the same day, gave verdict, "shot by his own gun." SAMUEL, wh. m. Abigail, d. of John Gilman, 1690, pray. for contin. protect. of Mass. over them, with the preced. was perhaps his br. THISTLE, or THISSELL, JEFFREY, Marblehead 1668, petitnr. against imposts, own. ld. at Beverly. He was from Abbotsbury, a. 8 ms. S. W. from Dorchester, Co. Dorset, and near the coast, as from his will of 29 Oct. 1675, pro. June foll. abstr. in Essex Inst. Coll. II. 231, appears; and he d. at sea, on voyage from Sal Tortudas to N. E. It names d. Jane, then at Abbotsbury, s. Richard and his ch. Jeffrey and Mary. RICHARD, Beverly 1664, s. of the preced. had William, b. 1684, and perhaps others, certain, elder s. Jeffrey and d. Mary; and he was 42 yrs. old. when William was b. THOM, JOHN, Exeter 1677, Nov. 30, sw. alleg. WILLIAM, Lynn 1638, rem. says Lewis to L. I. 1640. THOMAS, BENJAMIN, Springfield, s. of Rowland, m. 1688, Ann Belding of Hatfield, had Sarah, b. 2 Sept. 1690; Mary, 26 Dec. 1692; a s. 20 Dec. 1694; Ann, 21 Nov. 1696; and Samuel,7 Jan. 1699; rem. soon aft. and the name bec. ext. at S. DANIEL, New Haven, eldest s. of John of the same, was propound. for freem. 1670, m. 3 Feb. 1670, Rebecca Thompson, perhaps d. of John, of the same, had Dorothy; John, b. 1674; Daniel, 14 Feb. 1677; Dinah, 26 Dec. 1678; Samuel, 13 Jan. 1681, d. young; Recompense, 27 Mar. 1683; and Israel, 1689. He d. Feb. 1694; and his wid. m. a Perkins. His d. Dorothy m. 13 Apr. 1693, Henry Toll or Towle. DAVID, Marblehead 1648-68. EDWARD, Boston, 1685, agent of Joseph Thompson, of London, merch. EVAN, Boston, 1640, came from Wales, bring. w. Jane and four ch. for wh. 1 Sept. the Court direct. assist. adm. of our ch. 4 Apr. 1641, and freem. 2 June foll. had Jane, bapt. 16 May 1641, wh. being Sunday, may [[280]] be as well relied on as the town rec. that she was b. that day; Dorcas, bapt. 5 Feb. 1643, a. 11 days old, by the ch. rec. when the town rec. gives the same day for b.; but this may be better deserv. of credit, when add. that she d. 28 of the same mo. The w. join. our ch. 7 Mar. 1646, and d. 12 Jan. 1659. He was a vintner, had ano. w. Alice, wid. of Philip Kirtland, or Catlin, of Lynn, wh. he m. 1659 or 60, was of ar. co. 1653, had good est. and d. 25 Aug. 1661. His d. Jane m. 14 Nov. 1657, John Jackson. The wid. seems to have been less aceptab. in her control of the business at the King's Arms public ho. for she was warned to leave town as late as 1672, and not restor. bef. 1676. But she had a stout heart, reliev. the tavern in May 1680 from mortge. of £300, and liv. on till 1697, in her will of 26 Jan. pro. 21 Oct. of that yr. names plenty of ch. and gr.ch. of the latter class one, Abigail, was then w. of Rev. Joseph Belcher. FRANCIS, Boston, m. Rebecca, d. of Matthew Iyans, had John, b. 1665, was liv. with w. 1674.

GEORGE, Boston, by w. Rebecca, had Peter, b. 5 Feb. 1683; George, 16 Mar. 1685; and Maverick, 19 Mar. 1694. Henry is in Geneal. Reg. IX. 354 giv. as one of Gallup's comp. against Quebec 1690; but he is not seen in the more correct list. of XIII. 133, where is no surname Thomas, nor even any bapt. Henry. HUGH, Roxbury, of wh. I can find no more, but that he was adm. freem. 1651, prob. had no ch. as he gave his est. to strangers in blood for the good of Roxbury sch. in order to insure support of hims. and w. Clement for residue of life in 1677, with decent, interm. after repsective dec. and d. 6 May 1683, aged 76 yrs. by town rec. and his wid. d. 24 Sept. foll. JAMES, Salem, 1646-49. JEREMIAH, Marshfield, s.

JOHN, Marshfield 1643, possib. is the adventur. wh. emb. at London, in the Hopewell, Sept. 1635, aged 14, may have been at Salem 1646, but m. 21 Dec. 1648, Sarah, d. of James Pitney of M. prob. had John, as in the will of P. 1663, he is titled sen. JOHN, New Haven, had Elizabeth b. 15 Mar. 1649; Samuel, 5 Sept. 1651; Tabitha, 18 Dec. 1653; all prob. bapt. 12 Feb. 1654; and Joseph, 10 Nov. 1661; ball bapt. in the right of his w. Tabitha, but all the dates of these bapt. in Geneal. Reg. IX. 362, was wrong. He was freem. 1669, a propr. 1685, and f. also of Daniel, John, and Sarah, all nam. with the other four, prob. the younger brood, in his will of 1670. He d. 15 Dec. 1671. Sarah m. 14 Dec. 1658, William Wilmot; and Elizabeth m. Jan. 1674, John Holt. JOHN, New Haven, s. of the preced. m. 1671, Lydia, d. of Edward Parker of the same, had Sarah, b. 13 Dec.

I kn. only the curious caution, deriv. in part from the will of Rev. Adam Blakeman, 16 Mar. 1665, in which he gave L5 to his d. Dorothy (the wid. of his s.

JOHN, Woodbury 1690 perhaps, but not prob. s. of the preced. and John, bapt. 30 Aug. 1695; Samuel, 10 Sept. 1699; and Thomas, 5 Mar. 1701. Of one JOHN, wh. d. at Framingham, 1730, Farmer in MS. relates that his f. was one of the first sett. of Boston, to wh. tradit. his judgm. would have yield. little credit, had it not been assail. on it weak side; for the story went on, that he, the Framingham, man, was upwards of 100 yrs. old. Now only one man ever reach. his century at F. and that was Isaac Clark, while the names of sixty-eight persons in F. wh. d. at the age of 85 and upwards, furnish. us by Barry, do not include any Thomas. The first part of the myth, then, may not be more than ten yrs. beyond the truth, but his example of longevity is sixteen yrs. at least, short of the pretence. JOSEPH, Springfield, s. of Rowland, by w. Mary had Mary, b. 1674; a ch. 1675; ano. 1676, wh. all d. soon; Samuel, 1677; the preced. all b. at Hatfield whence he rem. prob. to Springfield, and lastly to Lebanon; but at S. may have been b. most of the other ch. Mary, 29 Dec. 1679; Joseph, 14 June 1682; Rowland, 26 Mar. 1685; Sarah, 5 Feb. 1687; Ebenezer, 24 Nov. 1688; Josiah, 7 Oct. 1690; and Mercy, 12 Dec. 1692; sw. alleg. 8 Feb. 1679, and was adm. freem. 1690. NATHANIEL, Marshfield, 1643, s. of William, b. in Eng. a. 1606, prob. came with his f. 1640, may have brot w. and ch. William; had Nathaniel, b. 1643, and ds. certain, Mary; Elizabeth b. 1646; and Dorothy; perhaps one or more b. in Eng. nam. in the will of their gr.f. and d. 13 Feb. 1675. He was lieut. and soon made capt. Mary m. Simon Ray of Block Island, as Miss Thomas tells. * NATHANIEL, Marshfield, s. of the preced. m. 19 Jan. 1664, Deborah, youngest d. of Nicholas Jacobs of Hingham, had Nathaniel, Joseph, Deborah, Dorothy, William, Elisha, Joshua, Caleb, Isaac, and Mary; of wh. Dorothy b. 6 Nov. 1670, m. 20 Nov. 1688, Joseph Otis. His w. d. 17 June 1696, and he took 3 Nov. foll. sec. w. at Boston, Elizabeth wid. of Capt. William Condy (but the m. certif. by Cotton Mather is of Elizabeth Dolberry) wh. d. 11 Oct. 1713, if we believe the inscr. on the gr.st.; was rep. 1672, and seven yrs. [[282]] more, also at Boston, under the new chart. 1692, had serv. in Philip's war as a capt. on the first outbreak, and was of the Mass. Counc. d. 2 by town rec. but 22 Oct. 1718, in his 76th yr. by the gr.st. His d. Deborah m. 1 Dec. 1692, John Croad. PETER, Boston, s. of George, m. Elizabeth d. of the Rev. George Burrows (wh. had on 19 Aug. 1692 suffer. by judicial murder under Stoughton, at wh. Cotton Mather assit.) and George, Elias, Peter, William, and Moses. This last is head of a numerous and disting. progeny. RICE, or RISE, Kittery, 1647 submit. to Mass. Nov. 1652, was of Boston 1654, then 38 yrs. old. ROWLAND, Springfield, 1646, m. 14 Apr. 1647, Sarah, d. of Samuel Chapin, had Joseph, b. 6 Jan. 1648, d. next yr.; Samuel, 2 Mar. 1649, d. in few days; Mary, 25 Mar. 1650, d. in few days; Joseph, again, 25 Mar. 1651; Benjamin, 23 May 1653; Josiah, 4 Apr. 1655, d. soon; Josiah, again, 28 Oct. 1657, d. in few days; Samuel, again, 6 May 1662, d. at 39 yrs. unm.; a d. 14 Sept. 1666, wh. m. 1692, James Warriner the sec. Mary, 9 Jan. 1669, d. next yr.; and Mercy 15 May 1671, wh. m. 30 Mar. 1689 John Bagg; beside two others of wh. neither liv. long eno. to find a name, so that of 13 only 5 ch. liv. to adult age. he took o. of alleg. 31 Dec. 1678, or next day, had been at Hadley 1669, and perhaps at Westfield 1670; his w. d. 5 Aug. 1684; and he d. at S. 21 Feb. 1698. SAMUEL, Marshfield, s. perhaps of William the sec. m. 27 May 1680, Mercy, d. of the sec. William Ford, but I kn. no more exc. his d. 2 Sept. 1720. THOMAS, the first name in the list of passeng. in the William and Francis, wh. arr. at Boston, 5 June 1632, hav. sail. from London, 9 Mar. bef. was only placed there, as I am wholly satisf. to befool the officers wh. might make disagreea. inquir. See 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 92. WILLIAM, Newbury, came in the Mary Ann of Yarmouth 1637, emb. in May, aged 16, unm. husbandman of Great Comberton in Co. Worcester [See 4 Mass. Histo. Coll. I. 99], m. 8 Mar. 1666, Susanna, wid. of Robert Rogers, wh. by this m. had no ch. and d. 29 Mar. 1677. He d. 30 Sept. 1690. WILLIAM, Marshfield, a. 1640, made freem. of the Col. 17 Mar. 1642, had come, I think, with Rev. Richard Blinman, Hugh Caulkins, and other pious persons from the princip. of Wales, or the W. of Eng. not in 1630, as Farmer had it, and Miss Thomas repeats, merely, I suppose, out of reverence for the inscr. on the gr.st. call. him "one of the founders of New Plymouth Col." as if a man of his reputa. and import. would not many yrs. earlier be made freem. or mortuary legends applied in a subsequ. age were not proverbial for lack of precision. He was chos. Assit. 1642, and so contin. exc. in 1645 and 6 to his last yr. d. Aug. 1651, aged 78 nearly. His will of 9 July preced. in abstr. in Geneal. Reg. IV. 319. WILLIAM, Marshfield, s. perhaps of the preced. but more prob. of the first Nathaniel, and Miss Thomas says, in 1638, b. in Eng. [[283]] of wh. we kn. only that he d. unm. 21 by rec. but by gr.st. 30 Mar. 1718 in 80th yr. WILLIAM, Newton, by w. Elizabeth had William b. 31 Aug. 1687; and by sec. w. Ann, wid. of Thomas Lovering of Watertown, wh. bore him no ch. m. 29 Aug. 1695, had Joanna, b. 28 Oct. foll. if Jackson be correct, wh. adds that he d. 1697. Seventeen of this name at Harv. three at Yale, and seventeen at all the other N. E. coll. are found by Farmer as gr. in 1834. THOMPSON, TOMSON, THOMSON, or TOMPSON, ANBROSE, Woodbury, s. of the first John of Stratford, by w. Sarah, had John, Ambrose, and other ch. bef. 1701, but had a sec. w. bef. 1706. Grievous was the error of Goodwin, 254, in mak. his w. Sarah to be wid. of Benjamin Beach. ANTHONY, New Haven, 1639, br. of the sec. John and first William of the same, prob. came with Gov. Eaton, with w. and two ch. John, and Anthony, had Bridget b. here, and by sec. w. Catharine had three more ch. Hannah, bapt. 8 June 1645; Lydia, 25 (not 24, as the careless ch. rec. has it) July 1647; and prob. posthum.; Ebenezer, 15 Oct. 1648; and he had some mos. bef made his will 1648. His d. Bridget m. John Bowers wh. bec. first min. at Derby; Hannah m. a Staunton; Lydia m. 20 Sept. 1665, Isaac Crittenden; and the wid. m. 14 July 1652, Nicholas Camp of Milford. ANTHONY, Milford, s. of the preced. had no w. or ch. and d. bef. mid. age, in his will of 26 Dec. 1654, giv. his prop. to br. John, own sis. Bridget, and three half sis. ch. of goodwife Camp. wh. had been sec. w. of his f. ARCHIBALD, Marblehead 1637, was drown. Nov. 1641, as Winthrop tells, II. 43. BENJAMIN, Braintree, s. of Rev. William, of some distinct. as a physician, schoolmr. town clk. 1696, and even poet, monoculus inter coecos; yet more claim our regard as leav. at his d. 13 Apr. 1714, eight ch. and 28 gr.ch. His w. was Susanna, d. prob. of Philip Kirtland, the first of Lynn; their ch. were Abigail, b. at Boston, 25 Nov. 1670; Susanna, 10 June 1673; Ann, 2 Dec. 1677; both at Charlestown; Elinor, 29 Nov. 1679, at Braintree, as were the others; Benjamin, 8 Nov. 1682; Elizabeth 14 Jan. 1685; Philip, 26 July 1687; Sarah, 23 Sept. 1689; and Mary, 29 Oct. 1692; and the sch. master adds to the rec. quos omnes Deus ominpotens, sui filii unigeniti ac servatoris nostri meritis vita eterna dignetur. His w. d. he says, 27 July 1693. I judge he was keep. the sch. at Roxbury, where his d. Mary d. 28 Mar. 1700. Having been gr. at Harv. bef. Cotton Mather was b. he gain. the advant. as master of the Boston gram. sch. of helping forward the precoc. youth, wh. in burdensome gratitude, enlivens the Magn. III. 160, with the strains that his cousin Whiting's d. drew from T. DANIEL, Newbury, said to be 40 yrs. old in 1678, if the list in Gen. Reg. VII. 350 be not wrong, as by the silence of Coffin may be feared. DAVID, Piscataqua, sent out by Gorges in 1623, rem. a. 1626, to that isl. [[284]] in Boston harbor, ever since call, by his name, of wh. it is said his agent, William Trevore, had tak. possn. 1619, as is suppos. to be prov. by evidence of an Ind. sagam. of Tevore hims. and of capt. Standish; but the value of such testimony is small. See the note of Deane, on Bradford's Hist. 209. It belongs to the town of Dorchester, but gr. by our governm. to T. and there he d. a. 1628, leav. inf. ch. John. EBENEZER, Guilford, s. of the fist Anthony of New Haven, m. June 1671, Deborah, d. of William Dudley of G. had s. Jabesh, b. 16 Oct. 1672, d. young; and John, 1674, wh. d. early; was propound. for freem. in 1669; but prob. d. bef. mid. age, his will of 16 Aug. 1676, recit. that he was "a. 28 yrs. old." It gave his prop. 1/3 to w. 2/3 to s. John; and his inv. was brot. in 6 Nov. foll. He is call. a Scotchman, but this must have regard to his f. and as the number of the name of John was unusually great, among the Thompsons, most of wh. would be Eng. yet one prob. was from the Northern kingdom. EDMUND, Salem 1637, from the neighb. of Framingham, in Co. Sufflk, where he had m. Martha, d. of John Fiske, had Martha; Edmund; Thomas, bapt. 12 Feb. 1643; and Hannah, bapt. 4 July 1647; all b. in N. E. adm. of the ch. at S. 29 Dec. 1639; went home and liv. at Yarmouth, there had three more ch. wh. d. inf. John, Esther, and John, again; was a sea capt. and in the fine tract of Suffolk emigrants, by Mr. Hunter, 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 159, he quotes Candler's MS. as saying, that aft. the d. of Charles I. he serv. the States of Holland. he was s. of John of Holkham, Co. Norfk. EDWARD came in the Mayflower 1620, d. 4 Dec. bef. the sh. reac. Plymouth from Cape Cod. He was a serv. of William White. EDWARD, Newbury, s. of deac. Samuel of Braintree, says Farmer in MS. taught the sch. sev. yrs. bef. and aft. leav. coll. began to preach at Simsbury, June 1687, by w. Sarah had Samuel, b. 1 Sept. 1691, H. C. 1710 (the min. of Gloucester wh. d. 8 Dec. 1724); and Edward, 14 May 1696; was ord. at Marshfield, 14 Oct. 1696, and had William, 26 Apr. 1697, H. C. 1718 (min. at Scarborough, f. of Rev. John of Berwick, H. C. 1765, wh. d. 21 Dec. 1828, aged 88); John, 1699; and Joseph, 1704; beside ds. Sarah; Ann; and Abigail. He d. sudden. 16 Mar. 1705; acc. the ch. rec. in Gen. reg. VIII. 229, tho. the inscript. on his gr.st. Gen. Reg. IV. 316, reads 10 Mar. and the dilig. Edit. had (General. Reg. VII. 278) correct. Farmer on that author. as if the gr.st. had suffer. less by exposure to the weather, than the rec. of the ch. in a century and a half. GEORGE, Lynn, by w. Sarah, had Sarah, b. 25 Oct. 1659; rem. to Reading, there had John, b. 24 Mar. 1661; and d. 7 Sept. 1674. In his will of 4 Dec. 1669, of wh. he made w. Sarah extrix. he names ch. John, Mary, George, and Sarah; and by the codic. of 1 July 1674, s. Jonathan, all minors. HENRY, Cambridge, but of Boston perhaps short [[285]] time aft. freem. 1670 m. 27 Apr. 1669, Elizabeth d. of John Stedman, wid. of Nathaniel Upham, after being his w. only 15 days, had Elizabeth b. 29 Jan. 1670; and Henry, 1673, wh. d.

His w. by wh. he had Jonathan, perhaps b. on this side of the ocean, as sure. was Simon, on the other side, d. 8 Nov. 1643; and he m. 15 Feb. foll. Susanna, wid. of Thomas Blodget of Cambridge, had James, b. 24 Jan. 1646, or 7, d. soon; James, again, a. 1649; and perhaps others. His w. d. 10 Feb. 1661; and he d. 1682. JAMES, Woburn, s. of the preced. freem. 1674, m. 27 Jan. 1675, Hannah Walker, had Hannah, b. 31 Dec. foll.; Joshua, 15 Sept. 1677; James, May 1680; Ebenezer, 26 July 1683; and his w. d. 4 Feb. 1686; and by sec. w. Abigail he had Richard, 21 Mar. 1688; Abigail, 30 Dec. 1689; Simon, 19 Oct. 1691; was a lieut. and d. 4 Sept. 1693. JOHN, Watertown 1634, or earlier, freem. 6 May 1635, by w. Margaret had John, bur. at 4 mos. 10 Apr. 1636; and Samuel, wh. d. young, bur. 28 Mar. 1642; but the f. had d. bef. aged 38 yrs. and was bur. 28 Feb. 1639. JOHN, New Haven, first of many of the name there, call. sen. brot. sev. ch. prob. with w. from Eng. here, perhaps, by ano. w. had Rebecca, and Abigail, tw. 26 Jan. 1652; and Sarah, 30 Apr. 1654, was one of the contract sett. in 1639, and d. a. 1656. His wid. m. that yr. Thomas Harrison; but the est. was not sett. for sev. yrs. aft. her d. Of seven ch. entit. to shares, John, Joseph, Hannah, Mary, Rebecca, Abigail, and Sarah, the first, as eldest, hav. double sh. only the three last are ment. in the rec. of b. His d.

His wid. 25 Dec. of that yr. it is said, made contr. of m. with Daniel Finch. JOHN, Concord, may be he wh. came from London, in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, aged 22, had John, b. 1642. JOHN, Stratford, had very good est. and good num. to div. among, as by his will of 17 July 1678, pro. next mo. we find w. Mirable ment. beside s. John, b. Sept. 1641; and Ambrose, 1 Jan. 1652; ds.

Matthew Mitchell, and d. 18 Jan. 1711. JOHN, New Haven, br. of Anthony, m. 25 Feb. 1651, Ellen Harrison, had Mary, b. 24 Apr. 1652; Ann, 22 Sept. 1654; both bapt. (by rec. of ch.) 17 Sept. 1654; Elizabeth b. 3 June 1657; Lydia, 13 Mar. 1664, d. young; prob. Sarah, 1667, d. at two yrs. and he d. 14 Dec. 1674. He was m. by Gov. Endicot, as Boston, 4 Aug. 1656, to Ann Vicaris; but wh. the bride was, may be hard to find. How inconsist. the b. of Ann found from town rec. is with the rec. of bapt. will be observ. by some, wh. may desire to kn. wh. date to reject, [[286]] and from Mr. White, wh. furnish to Geneal. Reg. IX. that very valu. list of baptisms, I am instruct. that the town rec. is usual. the true one, and the ch. rec. frequent. false, or wonderful, careless rather. Prob. this was kept by Rev. John Davenport, less precise in facts than in doctrine. But the writer of that rec. little consider. to what vexations he would subject those who came in a future age to consult his ambiguous oracle. Often by omiss. as well as commiss. the teacher is blameworthy; and the scrupulous Mr. White was misled to ascribe, p. 362, three ch. to this John Thompson, by w. Ellen, scil. Hannah, Lydia, and Ebenezer, bapt. 1645, 7 and 8, respectiv. not one of wh. was hers, as her m. was some yrs. later than their bapt. These three belong to his br. Anthony, whose w. perhaps was the sis. Thompson ment. in the book by Mr. White mistaken for Ellen. She long liv. a wid. dispos. of three ds. in m. scil. Mary, Nov. 1674, to Samuel Lines; Ann or Hannah, 25 Dec. 1673, to Abraham Bradley; and Elizabeth 29 Oct. 1677, to Benjamin Bradlee; and made her will Oct. 1689, giv. her prop. to them. * JOHN, Plymouth 1643, had John, b. 24 Nov. 1649, d. soon; was prob. rep. for Middleborough, 1674 and eight yrs. foll. JOHN, Dorchester, s. of that David the first sett. kn. in Boston harbor, had confirmat. of his right to the isl. giv. by our Gen. Ct. 1648; in Apr. 1650, pledg. to two Bristol merch. the isl. for a large sum. payable in codfish at Marblehead or Isle of Shoals; but the creditors had it in 1658, by appraise. of Robert Sedgwick and Richard Sprague, for less than amo. of the excon. He or ano. John was of Weymouth, the freem. of 1653. JOHN, Fairfield, eldest, s. of John of Stratford, was a man of so great consequence, as in 1663, to have the Gen. Ct. of Conn. interpose to attempt adjustm. of his diffic. with the ch. there, is in the freemen's list of 1669. JOHN, Barnstable, had Esther, b. 28 July 1652; Elizabeth 28 Jan. 1654; Sarah, 4 Apr. 1657; Lydia, 5 Oct. 1659; Jacob, 24 Apr. 1662; and Thomas, 19 Oct. 1664. JOHN, New Haven, 1659, call. for distinct. the farmer, m. at Branford, perhaps 29 Mar. or 22 May 1666, Priscilla, d. of Thomas Powell, had John, b. 6 Aug. 1667; Priscilla, 7 Aug. 1671; Samuel, 29 Jan. 1674, d. soon; Samuel, again, 1 May 1677; Abigail, 24 Feb. 1680; and Ann, 20 Mar. 1683, wh. prob. d. young; and he d. 13 Feb. 1694. This John is prob. s. of the first John of the same, liv. at East Haven, and made his will the same day he d. nam. four ch. only, the two s. and two ds. Priscilla Chidsy, or Chedsey, w. of Ebenezer, and Abigail, then unm. JOHN, Wethersfield, bef. 1640, rem. in few yrs. JOHN, Farmington, eldest s. of Thomas of the same, propound. for freem. 1670, m. 24 Oct. of that yr. Mary Steele, d. of the sec. John of the same, had John, b. 29 Dec. 1671; Thomas, 30 June 1674, but ano. acco. says, 13 Jan. 1675; Samuel, 29 Dec. 1676; Joseph, 25 Mar. 1679, d. in few wks.; James, 30 May, 1680; Mary, bapt. 1 [[287]] Oct. 1682, wh. liv. over 100 yrs.; Ebenezer, 23 Nov. or by ano. rept. 21 Dec. 1684; and Nathaniel, 16 Jan. 1687. JOHN, Portsmouth, adm. freem. of Mass. 1672. JOHN, New Haven, the mariner, so call. for distinct. propound. for freem. 1671, and was propr. 1685. Mr. Judd thinks he was not relat. of the other Johns, but had a child, perhaps Mary, in Sept. 1667; Samuel, b. 12 May 1669; and Sarah, 16 Jan. 1672. JOHN, Stratford, s. of John of the same, call. jun. was propound. for freem. 1671, d. 1681, had no w. or ch. and by his will helps us to certainty in the field where doubt was most diffus. the affin. of memb. of so common a name. Thus to his mo. to John, s. of br. Ambrose, to childr. of John Hurd, wh. m. his sis. Sarah, to childr. of Jonathan Curtis and sis. Abigail, to a cousin, ch. of Matthew Mitchell, wh. was, we kn. the first of sev. we find gifts, and the silence as to Esther, would almost serve to show, without the rec. that she was d. JOHN, Reading, by Eaton marked as one of the early sett. JOHN, Rehoboth, m. 19 Sept. 1682, Sarah Smith, but to tell whose d. she was, or whose s. he was, I utterly despair. JOHN, New Haven, mariner, was a propr. 1685, as was also ano. JOHN, of the same call. jun. wh. may have been s. of the one of the preced. or of William. JOHN, Salisbury 1690, that yr. m. a Brewer. JONATHAN, Woburn, s. of James of the same, m. 28 Nov. 1655, Susanna, d. of Thomas Blodget, had Susanna, b. 4 July 1661; Jonathan, 28 Sept. 1663; James, 1666, d. soon; James, again, 27 June 1667; Sarah, 1 June 1670; Simon, 15 June 1673; and Ebenezer, 18 Aug. 1676; and d. 20 Oct. 1691. Jonathan, his s. was gr.-gr.f. of Sir Benjamin, knight. by Geo. III. the disting. philosoph. better kn. as Count Rumford, with wh. title was hon. by the k. of Bavaria, wh. was b. at W. 26 Mar. 1753. Farmer had once suppos. that the Count was descend. of Rev. William, to wh. mistake he was led by the first Presdt. Adams; and the correct. is due to the investigat. of Francis Jackson of Boston. JOSEPH, Wallingford, perhaps s. of the first John of New Haven, had m. prob. as sec. w. the wid. of Isaac Royce of the same, and was d. in 1712, when his heirs are ment. * JOSEPH, Billerica, s. of Rev. William, m. 24 July 1662, Mary, d. of Richard Bracket of Braintree, at B. was sch. master, town clk. ens. 1678, and lieut. 1683, selectman, capt. deac. many yrs. and rep. 1692 under the new chart. also 99, 1700, and l, and d. 13 Oct. 1732. His wid. Mary, a sec. w. d. 9 Oct. 1743, aged 91, Farmer says. MAURICE, Gloucester, a London merch. engag. in trade to Canada, as early as 1631, was much desir. by our governm. to sett. with us, hav. in 1639, begun a fishing trade at Cape Ann, but only a trans. visit. if he ever came, wh. is improb. Winthrop I. 307. MILES, Kittery 1659. ROBERT, Boston, a man of distinct. in London, where he m. I conject. a sis. of Gov. Hopkins of Conn. by wh. col. he was much confid. in, was a [[288]] trans. resid. here 1639, bought the old ch. edifice and ground on wh. it stood in State Str. for L160 in 1639. See note in Winthrop I. 318. Yet he was satisf. I fear, with the outward benefit, for he did not join the worship. assemb.

Ann, wid. of Simon Crosby of Cambridge he had Ann, b. 3 Mary. or 1 May, as the numeral for the day and month may respective. be read, in 1648 or 9. He was made freem. 1656, but "fell into the Devil's bath." as the Magn. III. cap. IVII. calls his state of melancho. and gave up his pub. min. seven yrs. and d. 10 Dec. 1666 in 68th yr. The wid. d. 11 Oct. 1675, aged 68. Mary m. 3 Dec. 1641, Joseph Wise of Roxbury; and Elinor m. 1644, William Veazey, and next John French, and d. 23 Apr. 1711. Of this fam. it is obs. that they always discard the sec. letter of the name, tho. Mather, whose biog. is exceed. meagre, prints it as here. WILLIAM, New Haven 1647, br. of Anthony, had perhaps accomp. Gov. Eaton, had neither w. nor ch. but d. 24 Apr. 1683, and to his will of 6 Oct. preced. we owe very much of our kn. of ws. and ch. of others. He gave prop. to John, s. of his br. Anthony; to John and William, s. of his br. John; to Bridget Bowers, Ann Staunton, and Lydia Cruttenden, ds. of br. Anthony; and to ds. of br. John, viz. Mary Lines, Ann Bradley and her h. Abraham, and Elizabeth Bradley and her h. Benjamin. WILLIAM, New London, s. prob. of Rev. William of Braintree, b. in Eng. after his degree at Harv. was a preach. at Springfield 1654-6, and m. 19 Nov. 1655, Catharine, d. of the first Richard Treat of Wethersfield, was employ. in 1658, by the Commissnrs. of the Unit. Col. acting for the London Soc. Prop. Gospel, and some yrs. succeed. as missiona. to the Pequot Ind. freem. 1660; but in 1664, he gave his w. all his prop. by deed "suppos. mys. near d. and a. to take a voyage [[290]] in Virg." From there he wrote to his w's br. James, 29 June 1665, and this is the last that is kn. of him, tho. in the Coll. catal. the yr. of his d. has never been giv. so that, from the blank in Mather, Farmer suppos. him liv. in 1698, when prob. he had left the world 30 yrs. bef. Yet a suspicion reasonab. arises, from the Conn. Col. Rec. I. 432, direct. the constable to secure prop. to amount of a certain debt, that his object was to escape creditors, rather than to preach the gospel.

In 1668, he went to Eng. there had Alice, and Martha, bapt. 10 Apr. 1669, then of ripe yrs. and made his will there, 29 July of that yr. in contemplat. of his ret. and by that instr. it is found, that d.

The keeper of that rec. enhances his wrong, by mutilat. the name of the ch. bapt. 23 Mar. 1645, Desiretruth, from wh. he withdraws the last syl. but I am happy to assure the admirers of a good name, that the evidence of the Roxbury ch. volume vindicates the whole truth. He was prob. liv. at Lynn, when freem. 2 May 1638, and Lewis mades him rem. to L. I. 1642. If so, ano. WILLIAM wh. is the same that in the town rec. of R. is call.

So he might well snap his fingers in contempt of the town clk. of R. especial. after John Acres of B. had m. his eldest d. wh. join. the ch. at R. 8 July 1666, and on the next Sunday triumph. brot. to bapt. her ds.

THEOPHILUS, Yarmouth, s. of Rev. Thomas, b. in Eng. was of Malden 1674, where he took o. of fidel. was the yr. preced. assoc. with a party of pioneers for sett. at Worcester, but no [[292]] more is heard of him. * THOMAS, Dorchester, freem. 3 Sept. 1634, Dr. Harris thot. came in 1630, but no ment. of him is found bef. 1634, and in very few yrs. he is heard of at Windsor, there was in good esteem, and had five ch. but only Samuel is found by rec. to be b. there, and that was 13 July 1645; and in 1647 alone, three ds. Thomas, Priscilla, and Ann. He was a tanner, or at least sold a tanyard to Elder John Strong. THOMAS, Stratford, of wh. very little is kn. exc. that he had Theophilus, b. there, 10 June 1651; and aft. 1653 no more is heard of him at Stratford, but he was rep. 1651. THOMAS, Hartford, a tanner, perhaps s. of Thomas of Windsor, had liv. at Milford, there m. 1674, Hannah d. of Nathaniel Farrand, had only ch. Samuel, wh. with w. Hannah are nam. in his will made 1694, tho. he liv. to 22 Sept. 1703. THOMAS, Yarmouth, came soon aft. the Bartholomew act of 1662, bring. w. and ch. not prob. all he ever had, but the name of his w. is not ment. Nor do I find the Univ. at wh. he was bred, or the liv. from wh. he was eject. At Y. he was as early as 18 June 1663, and a. 1694 rem. to Boston, where his s. Thomas had in 1677 join. with Mather's ch. and d. 15 Feb. 1700, aged over 90 yrs. Sewall calls him very near. 93. He was perhaps something advanc. towards sec. childhood, when call. by Cotton Mather, Jan. 1694, to testify how Margaret Rule was raised from her bed by an invisible force, to touch the garret floor, "lifted up from all that under her," as many be read on p. 23 of the London ed. 1700 of "More Wonders of the Invisible World" by Robert Calef of Boston. But the witness may have been his s. of the same name. Of his ch. we guess at the success. for the date of b. is unkn. and foll. Dr. Bond count. these seven: Ann, wh. m. Nathaniel Hall of Yarmouth; Mary, m. Judah Thacher, and d. 30 Nov. 1708, aged 68; Elizabeth m. Joshua Gee, of Boston, and next Rev. Peter Thacher of Milton; Thomas; Theophilus; Priscilla, wh. d. at 11 yrs. whether at B. or at Y. is not indic. by Mather, wh. (tho. he tells of the f. that he was "aged and faithful" adds not ano. syl. but) favors the youthful maid near the end of his book VI. with more than a half of one of the large fol. pages; and Timothy b. a. 1650. THOMAS, Watertown, adm. into the ch. 19 Aug. 1688, is by Bond, reput. s. perhaps of the preced. and one of the undertak. 1673, for sett. of Worcester. I find him at Malden in 1674, taking o. of fidel. and apparent. younger than Theophilus; yet no more can we gather. * TIMOTHY, Boston, merch. s. of Rev. Thomas, b. in Eng. and Bond strange. thot. he may have been eldest, tho. his earliest impress. was that he was youngest, freem. 1672, by w. Experience, perhaps sis. of the first John Brooking, wh. d. 23 Mar. 1694, had Mary, b. 2 Apr. 1674; Thomas d. young; Elizabeth 16 Nov. 1677; Timothy, 6 May 1681; Catharine, 16 Apr. 1683; Experince, 23 Feb. 1687; and Ebenezer, bapt. 12 Jan. 1690. He was rep. 1693, 4, and 5; and ano. w. Sarah, wh. d. 3 Dec. 1725, and he d. 19 Sept. [[293]] 1726, bur. 22d.

When one of the reps. for Boston, he was of the Comtee. charged with the service of issuing the first paper currency aft. the disastr. expedit. of Phips against Quebec. TIMOTHY, Boston, prob. not s. of the preced. m. 1716, Elizabeth Danforth of Billerica, perhaps d. of the sec.

But of the last 5 or 6, I feel less confidence, inasmuch as the rec. of bapt. in Mather's ch. does not concur with this acco. of the bs.

Suffk. a carpenter, came in the Mary Ann of Yarmouth, 1637, aged, says my transcript of a rec. in Westminster Hall, 30, wh. should be 36, for by the parish reg.

THWAITS, ALEXANDER, Concord, came in the Hopewell from London, 1635, aged 20, perhaps d. or rem. early, or the giv. of his corn to Rev. P. Bulkley, by our Gen. Ct. in May 1640, is dark. At the East he may be seen sw. alleg. to Charles II. 8 Sept. 1665. [[298]] THWING, BENJAMIN, Boston, came as one of the serv. or apprent. of Ralph Hudson, in the Susan and Ellen, 1635, aged 16, by w.

His will of 1 May 1646, pro. 2 Nov. 1648, ment. w. Ann, d. Lydia, and br. John. The name is rare, and no doubt various. spell. at differ. times and places.

TIFFANY, HUMPHREY, Rehoboth 1663, by w. Elizabeth had Sarah, b. 6 July 1683; was, I think, inhab. of Dover for some time, but k. 15 July 1685, on the journey betw.

See all the contempo. reports of the war. He was s. of John, and so I presume was SAMUEL, of Wickford 1674. TILDEN, JOHN, Scituate 1643, is sometimes perhaps giv. Tilten. JOSEPH, Scituate, eldest s. of Nathaniel, b. in Eng. came in the Hercules 1635, from Sandwich, with his f. wh. was of Tenterden in Co.

He was deac. and d. in May 1670, leav. good est. by will of 12 of that mo. to wid. Elizabeth and the eight ch. by name, and br. Stephen, and sis. Elizabeth Garrett. But of this last some doubt is felt, whether is mean more than Christian relationship, or perhaps the sec. w. of Richard G. wh. for his first, had Lydia, sis. of this testat. NATHANIEL, Scituate, came in the Hercules 1635 from Sandwich, in Co. Kent, being one of an old fam. at Tenterden, near Cranbrook, in that shire, bring. w. Lydia, seven ch. and seven serv. He may have visit. our country bef. and went home to bring his household; but it does not appear by any facts. In May 1637, with his friend Hatherly, he was appoint. by Plymouth Col. to sett. the bounds betw. it and Mass. He was rul. elder in the ch. and d. 1641, the inv. being of 31 July, and his will of 25 May preced. in that yr. It names his w.

THOMAS, Plymouth, one of the first comers, arr. 1623, by the Ann, bring. prob. w. and ch. at least he had lds. for three rights assign. that yr. but as none of this name had sh. in div. of cattle 1627, and no d. is suppos. to have occur. in the Col. for some yrs. after 1621, my infer. is that he went home. Perhaps he was br. of the first Nathaniel; but most surely not, as Farmer thot. him, his s. THOMAS, Marshfield, prob. s. of the elder Nathaniel, b. at Tenterden, Co. Kent, was old eno. in 1643 to bear arms, when he liv. at Scituate; at M. his w. Elizabeth whose f. is not ascert. d. or was bur. 12 Dec. 1663; and his d. Susanna was bur. 9 Sept. 1684; and s. John d. 20 Apr. 1685; but one or both may have been ch. of that Mary Holmes, maid or wid. is unkn. m. 24 Jan. 1665. TILESTONE, or TILSTON, THOMAS, Dorchester, had gr. of ld. 1634, freem. 9 Mar. 1637, had w. Elizabeth s. Thomas, b. a. 1633; Timothy, a. 1637; Elizabeth 1639; Ruth; Naomi, d. young; prob. Cornelius, wh. d. 20 July 1659; Bathsheba, b. 1649; Onesiphorus, 1651; and perhaps others; was fined in Sept. 1640 for abs. from a jury; but we can tell no more of him exc. his d. 24 June 1694, aged 83, says Blake. Ruth m. 11 Dec. 1657, Richard Denton; and next Timothy Foster; and Bathsheba m. John Payson. THOMAS, Dorchester, s. of the preced. perhaps (I dare not say prob.) b. in Eng. but the rec. allows us to kn. only that he d. 11 Sept. 1718, aged a. 85 yrs. Whether he had w. and ch. is uncert. Perhaps he was the author wh. compos. verses on the d. of John Foster, 1681, as Thomas in his Hist. of Print. I. 277, tells. * TIMOTHY, Dorchester, s. of the first Thomas, freem. 1666, m. 28 Apr. or 3 May 1659, Sarah, d. of James Bridgeman of Hartford, had Timothy, b. a. 1664; Elizabeth 29 Mar. bapt. 1 Apr. 1666; Cornelius, 4 Sept. bapt. 4 oct. 1668; Sarah, b. 7 Sept. 1671; Thomas, 19 Oct. 1675; James, 2 July 1678; Ann, 7 Dec. 1681. He was rep. 1689, 92, a cooper by trade, and d. 10 Aug. 1697, leav. large est. of wh. the mills have contin. in the fam. until this time; and the wid. d. 26 June 1712, aged 69. TILL, or TYLLS, JAMES, Scituate 1643. PETER, Boston, fisherman, in whose youthful days the Ct. 1639 order, that he shall be taught seamanship by his master, John Cloise or Cloyes; m. 26 Feb. 1652, Elizabeth Nick; and was liv. 1671, a carpenter. TILLEY, EDWARD, Plymouth 1620, came with w. in the Mayflower, and two ch. "their cousins," Henry Sampson, and Humility Cooper. He and his w. d. the first winter. Humility went home and d. HUGH, Salem, perhaps in 1629, as in Haz. I. 280, when he was serv. to Sir Richard Saltonstall, certain. at Yarmouth 1638 and 43, being a witness there to a will early in 1639, and enrol. to bear arms in the latter yr. Clearly this man's name is by some read Hillier, and he d. 28 Jan. 1648; and his wid. m. 3 Nov. foll. Thomas Hucking. JOHN, Plymouth, [[303]] perhaps br. of Edward, came with w. and one ch. Elizabeth in the Mayflower, 1620, and all (it was believ. by Shurtleff in Geneal. Reg. I. 52) d. next winter. But his d. Elizabeth wh. m. John Howland outliv. all her fellow passeng. exc. three wh. were younger. JOHN, Dorchester 1630, is prob. the same, wh. was in 1624, engag. at Cape Ann, with Thomas Gardner, in the oversight of that planta. freem. 4 Mar. 1635, and perhaps the master of the coast. vessel k. by the Ind. at Conn. riv. next yr. in Oct. with circumst. of horrid cruelty, as in Winthrop I. 200 is told. His wid. cont. at D. NATHANIEL, emb. in the Abigail 1635, from London, aged 32, but I kn. no more of him. THOMAS, Plymouth 1643. WILLIAM, Boston, is perhaps the passeng. in the Abigail from London 1635, aged 28, with Nathaniel, and may have been his br. perhaps was the Barnstable man 1643. In 1649, he had w. Alice, and was inhab. 1658; but in 1665 was subject of complaint by w. Of Elizabeth T. wh. in 1653 at Springfield, m. Thomas Merrick, tho. from that union, the Tilley has grown into a common baptism. prefix, it is, I fear, impossib. to find any trace of parentage. TILLINGHAST, BENJAMIN, Providence, s. prob. youngest of the first Pardon, had three ds. of whose dates I hear nothing, nor names; but it is said that they m. Solomon Drown, Edward Kinnicutt, and Christopher Arnold, respective. JOHN, Providence, of whose descent I am ign. had perhaps other ch. beside Mary, b. a. 1689, wh. m. 2 Nov. 1709, Richard Ward. JOSEPH, Providence, br. of Benjamin, by first w. had Paris; and by sec. w. Lydia, had Elizabeth; Samuel; Nicholas, b. 26 May 1726; and Daniel; to ea. of wh. I would gladly give dates. PARDON, Providence, b. a. 1622, it is said, near Beach Head on the coast of Sussex, was sett. as Bapt. min. 1645. See Benedict, Hist. I. 478. He built at his own exp. the first meeting-ho. and gave it to the soc. in 1711, with the lot it stood on; and d. 29 Jan. 1718. By his sec. w. Lydia, prob. d. of Philip Tabor of Tiverton, he had Pardon; Philip; Joseph, b. 1677; Benjamin; Mary; Abigail; Mercy, b. a. 1679; Hannah; and Elizabeth He d. 29 Jan. 1718; but he had three ch. by a former w. whose names are unkn. Mary m. one of the numerous Carpenters at Pautuxet, prob. a. s. of William; Abigail m. Nicholas Sheldon; Mercy m. the third Nicholas Power, as his sec. w. had nine ch. and d. 13 Nov. 1769, aged 91; Hannah m. a Hale of Swanzey; and Elizabeth m. a Tabor of New London. He is, I believe, founder of a long line, eight of wh. had, says Farmer, been gr. at Brown Univ. in 1834. PARDON, Providence, s. of the preced. rem. to East Greenwich, and had John, Joseph, and Philip, beside one d. Mercy, w. of Peter Mawney, as from his will is learn. This docum. names a great many gr.ch. PHILIP, Providence, br. of the preced. was prob. the soldier in GallopÕs comp. 1690, m. 3 May 1692, Martha Holmes, prob. a gr.d. of persecut. Obadiah, [[304]] had Charles, b. 5 Mar. 1693; Philip, 9 Aug. 1694; John, 4 Apr. 1696; Jonathan, 18 Sept. 1698; Martha, 20 Dec. 1699; Pardon, 15 Dec. 1701; Obadiah, 2 Dec. 1703, d. young; Joseph, 18 Mar. 1706, d. at 18 yrs.; Lydia, 16 Oct. 1708; Sarah, 5 Mar. 1710; perhaps Samuel, 1711; Ann, 13 Apr. 1713; William, 22 Jan. 1715; Elisha, 29 Aug. 1716; and Mary, 16 Feb. 1718. TILLOTSON, JOHN, Rowley, rem. to Newbury, m. 14 July 1648, Dorcas, sis. of Thomas Coleman, wh. perhaps brot. her in the James from Southampton 1635, arr. at Boston 3 June, had Mary, b. 13 Feb. 1650; John, 21 Feb. 1651; and James, 19 Dec. 1652. His w. d. 1 Jan. 1655, and he m. 24 May foll. Jane Evans, had Philadelphia, 28 Sept. 1656; Joseph, 11 Jan. 1658; and Jonathan, 6 July 1659. As Coffin tells no more of him, I judge that he rem. prob. to Conn. JOHN, Saybrook 1671, prob. s. of the preced. liv. on the E. or Lyme side of the gr. riv. and was involv. with many of his townsmen in the quarrel with New London people a. mowing the meadow intermed. wh. led to mut. indictms. as in Trumbull's Col. Rec. II. 558 appears. He m. 25 Nov. 1680, Mary Morris, d. of John of Hartford, had Mary, b. 30 Nov. 1681; John, 25 Oct. 1683; Joshua, 26 Mar. 1687; Joseph, 29 Mar. 1689; Martha, 1 Nov. 1691; and Thomas, 24 Mar. 1694; and d. 5 June 1719. JONATHAN, Lyme, perhaps br. of the preced. m. 10 Jan. 1683, Mary Jones, had Jonathan, b. 26 Oct. 1684. TILLMAN, JOHN, in Maine, among those on W. side of Kennebec riv. sh. sw. alleg. to Charles II. Sept. 1665. TILSON, EDWARD, Scituate, d. 1660; may be the same call. EDMUND, at Plymouth 1643; and 25 Oct. 1660, Elizabeth wh. may have been his d. m. Benajah Dunham, of Eastham; and on the same day Mary T. m. Benjamin Dunham; but wh. was the Mary, that m. 23 Dec. 1652, James Cole jr. is quite beyond my conject. as is the Jane, wh. m. 20 May 1662, Giles Richard the elder. EPHRAIM, Plymouth, perhaps br. of the preced. m. 7 July 1666, Elizabeth Hoskins, d. perhaps of William. JOHN, Rowley 1643. TILTON, ABRAHAM, Ipswich, the freem. of 1681, was perhaps s. of William of Lynn, apprent. in 1653, to John Hood, wh. then being in Eng. discharg. him, and he m. the same yr. or earlier, a d. (prob. Deliverance) of Roger Shaw of Hampton; in 1669 was of Kittery, and at I. with w. made deeds of gift 1702, to s. Samuel and Isaac. His wid. Deliverance, in her will of 9 Nov. 1730, pro. 2 July 1733, names s. Abraham, Samuel, and Isaac, ds. Sarah Martin, Mary, w. of Tristram Brown, Rebecca, w. of Thomas Durges, whose former h. was John Lamb, and Abigail Bell, dec. late w. of Robert Bell. formerly of John Filmore. DANIEL, of Hampton or Exeter in 1689, was perhaps br. of [[305]] the preced. I conject. and m. 23 Dec. 1669, Mehitable Weare. Of one Daniel, perhaps a s. more prob. gr.s. of William of Ipswich, with his br. lieut. Jacob, striking proof of triumph. over Ind. captors in June 1722, is told in Penhallow's Hist. with admirab. brevity; but much dilated in verse, untutored as its subject, the heroic narrat. is contain. in Geneal. Reg. II. 271. ISAAC, Pemaquid, a serg. at the fort, drown. there, 28 Mar. 1695, was br. of Abraham, as by his nuncup. will declar. JOHN, Lynn, had John, b. 1642. * PETER, Windsor, perhaps s. of William of Lynn, may never have been of Dorchester, yet early at W. and possib. came with Rev. Ephraim, Huit, there m. 10 May 1641, Elizabeth whose surname is lost, had Elizabeth bapt. 19 June 1642, wh. d. at 13 yrs.; Mary, 18 Feb. 1644; and Peter, 5 Dec. 1647, rem. a. 1659 up the riv. and was one of the first sett. at Hadley, took the freeman's o. 26 Mar. 1661, and o. of alleg. 8 Feb. 1679; was deac. rep. for H. 1665, and most yrs. foll. exc. 1667, when he was ret. mem. for Chelmsford, chos. Assist. in 1680, and so contin. exc. dur. the usurp. of Andros, and on the last elect, under the old chart. ten days bef. coming of the new, among the whole eighteen only Phips, Sewall, Russell, and Cooke had more votes than him. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 120. He d. 11 July 1696. His sec. w. Mary, d. 16 Apr. 1689; and he m. 3 Nov. 1690, Sarah, wid. of deac. Benjamin Parsons, wh. had been wid. of John Leonard, both of Springfield; and she outliv. him and d. at S. 23 Nov. 1711. Of the two surv. ch. Peter was infirm in body and mind, kept under guardians, and did not perpet. the name. Mary m. Joseph Eastman of Suffield, and next James Guernsey, 17 Feb. 1693. Aft. the d. of Peter jr. in 1707, all the Tilton est. vested in Joseph Eastman gr.s. of the first peter. WILLIAM, Lynn, had eldest s. Samuel, others Peter, Daniel, and Abraham; perhaps William; d. a. 1653. His wid. Susanna, m. Roger Shaw of Hampton. TIMBERLAKE, * HENRY, Newport 1644, then chos, corporal, rep. 1663; had fam. of wh. I kn. only Elizabeth that m. 24 Dec. 1670, the third John Coggeshall. Perhaps it was his s. wh. was a solider with the rank of ensign, under capt. William Turner at the Falls fight in Philip's war, by the scrupulous keeper of the muster roll call. Timberleggs. TIMMINS, JOHN, Scarborough, unit. with many others in declar. 4 July 1663, unwilling to resist claim of jurisdict. by Mass. or by Patentees, but wish the k. to settle whom they belong to. TINGLEY, or TINGLE, PALMER, Ipswich 1639, is by Farmer nam. as a soldier in the Pequot war. SAMUEL, Malden, d. 28 Dec. 1666, leav. wid. Elizabeth by wh. he had Samuel, b. Feb. 1666; and Thomas, July 1667. His w. was d. of Thomas Call, and she next m. Daniel Shepardson the sec. TINKER, AMOS, Lyme 1688, s. of John of New London, had there m. [[306]] 1 June 1682; but I kn. no issue. * John, Windsor, 1643, rem. in few yrs. to Boston, by w. Alice had Sarah, b. 2 Jan. 1652, d. soon; Mary, 2 July 1653; freem. 1654; was one of the princ. sett. at Lancaster, there selectman 1655, and town clk. had John, 4 Aug. 1655; Amos, 28 Oct. 1657; rem. again to New London, where he was in good esteem, rep. 1660 and 1, had Samuel, 1 Apr. 1659; and Rhoda, 23 Feb. 1662; and he d. in Oct. foll. and the Gen. Ct. in Mar. 1664, order, the charges of his sickness and fun. to be disburs. from the public treas. his wid. m. 1664, William Measure, and d. 20 Nov. 1714, aged 85. THOMAS, Plymouth 1620, came in the Mayflower, with w. and a s. wh. all d. in the first winter. One Sarah T. join. the ch. at Scituate, 14 May 1637, but no more is heard of her. TINKHAM, EBENEZER, Middleborough, s. of the first Ephraim, m. bef. 1679, Elizabeth Liscom, was one of the first memb. of the ch. and deac. had Jermiah, and prob. others, and d. 8 Apr. 1718, and his w. it is said, d. the same day, aged 64. EPHRAIM, Plymouth 1643, apprent. of Timothy Hatherly, wh. had, July 1634, transfer. him to John Winslow, had gr. of ld. Aug. 1642, and ano. in Oct. foll. by w. of unkn. name, a d. of Peter Brown, had Ephraim, b. 5 Aug. 1649; Ebenezer, 30 Sept. 1651; Peter, 25 Dec. 1653; Hezekiah, 8 Feb. 1656; John, 7 June 1658; Mary, 5 Aug. 1661; John, again, 15 Nov. 1663; and Isaac, 11 Apr. 1666. EPHRAIM, Middleborough, s. of the preced. by w. Esther had Ephraim, and Isaac, perhaps more. He was constable 1681, and propound. for freem. 1682. TINNEY, JOHN, Scarborough, in 1658, own alleg. to Mass. as in Col. Rec. IV. part I. It may be Tenney. TIPPETT, HENRY, Wickford, in the disput. territ. of Rhode Island, claim, by Conn. made a constable 1670, by the latter power, tho. the right belong. to R. I. See Trumbull, Col. Rec. II. 138, 540, and 553. Humbly I would inq. if Mr. Trumbull, in the Index, making the name Tibbots or Tibbets, had high authority for the spelling, or had followed the similarity of Henry Tibbets in N. H. adher. to the Mass. jurisdict. I submit the conject. that the true spell. was Lippet; yet with so much less confidence, as the Wickford man's name is found by Judd to be Tipler. TIPPING, or TIPPEN, * BARTHOLOMEW, Exeter 1675, had commiss. from Mass. in Oct. 1676, to com. the forces in reestab. the sett. at Scarborough, in 1677 k. the famous Ind. ch. Mugg; in 1680 was rep. See Mass. Col. Rec. V. 130. TIRRELL, TURREL, TYRRELL, TERRALL, or THURRILL, GIDEON, Weymouth, s. of William of the same, by w. Hannah had Gideon, b. 18 June 1689, prob. d. soon; Mary, 4 Oct. 1690; Gideon, again, 10 Apr. 1693; Miriam, 29 Sept. 1696; and perhaps more. JOHN, Milford, perhaps s. of Roger, was propound. for freem. 1669, and then a seaman, prob. liv. at New London, perhaps br. of William of the same, m. Sarah, d. of Isaac Willey, perhaps for sec. w. He had William and Mary, [[307]] bapt. 7 May 1671; and d. 27 Feb. 1712; and his wid. d. 7 Mar. foll. ROGER, Milford 1639, one of the orig. sett. had, no doubt, a fam. is in list of freem. 1669, and Lambert says, d. 1682. ROGER, Stratford, perhaps s. of the preced. had Abigail, bapt. Jan. 1682; Sarah, Mar. 1684; Stephen, Aug. 1686; Roger, July 1691; Ezra, Apr. 1693; Timothy and Martha, tw. 19 Nov. 1697; as we learn from Cothren, wh. also inf. that he d. 17 Apr. 1722; and his wid. d. 13 Apr. 1728, WILLIAM, Boston, m. 29 Jan. 1655, Rebecca, d. of capt. Nicholas Simpkins, had Rebecca, b. 16 Dec. foll.; William, 16 Mar. 1657; Mary, 6 Apr. 1661; and Gideon, 16 July 1664; rem. to Weymouth, and may there have had more ch. but failure for a long series of yrs. of town rec. denies us certainty. WILLIAM, a tailor of New London, 1662, as Caulkins says only trans. inhab. WILLIAM, Weymouth, s. of William of the same, by w. Abigail, had William, b. 4 Aug. 1683; Samuel, 17 Nov. 1686; Abigail, 22 Aug. 1689; and Gideon, 14 June 1694. TISDALE, JAMES, Taunton, perhaps s. of the first John, m. 5 Nov. 1666, Mary, d. of William Avery of Dedhanm, liv. in Middleborough, the part now Lakeville, when his w. d. 9 Sept. 1713, aged 66; and he d. 15 Jan. 1715, aged 71. * JOHN, Duxbury 1637, but in what yr. he came, or from what part of Eng. is uncert. tho. we kn. his end, k. by the Ind. 27 June 1675. Prob. he had John and James, both of wh. may have been b. here. JOHN, call. jr. Taunton, m. 23 Nov. 1664, Hannah Rogers, of Duxbury, had Abigail, b. 15 July 1667; John, 10 Aug. 1669; Ann, 27 Jan. 1673; and Remember, 8 July 1675; was rep. 1674, says Baylies II. 71, k. by the Ind. 27 June next yr. as Winsor tells, but this was the f. and the mo. Sarah d. Dec. 1676. TITCOMB, or TITCOME, BENAIAH, Newbury, s. of William of the same, sw. alleg. 1678, as by the k. req. hav. in 1669, sw. fidel. to Mass. m. 24 Dec. in the latter yr. Sarah Brown, prob. d. of the first Richard, had Benaiah, b. 24 Oct. 1679; Joseph, 25 Jan. 1681, prob. d. soon; Edmund, 9 Dec. 1682; Elizabeth; Sarah, 2 Mar. 1688; Joseph, again, 2 Apr. 1691; Enoch, 1 Apr. 1695; and Mary, 17 Feb. 1698. Peniel, Newbury, br. of the preced. and the eldest wh. grew up to manhood, m. 8 Jan. 1684, Lydia, d. of Samuel Poor of the same, had Sarah, b. 22 Dec. 1684, d. soon; Sarah, again, 14 Dec. 1685; William, 8 Apr. 1687; and John, 24 Dec. 1689. THOMAS, Newbury, br. of the preced. m. 30 Nov. 1693, Mary Dam, had Hannah, b. 5 Sept. 1695; Judith, 30 July 1698; Mary, 17 Aug. 1700; and Ann, 27 Jan. 1703. * WILLIAM, Newbury, was of Newbury in Co. Berks, had taken pass. in the Mary and John, from London, 24 Mar. 1634, but was casual. depriv. of the oportun. and came next mo. in the Hercules, m. Joanna, d. of the elder Richard Bartlett, wh. d. 28 June 1653, had Sarah, b. 22 June 1640; Hannah, 8 Jan. [[308]] 1642; Mary, 17 Feb. 1644; Millicent, 7 June 1646, wh. d. at 17 yrs.; William, 18 Mar. 1648, d. at 11 yrs.; Peniel, 16 Dec. 1650; and Benaiah, 28 June 1653, the day of his mo's d.

He d. 24 Sept. 1676. his will, made six days bef. ment. only eleven ch. Sarah m. 16 Mar. 1665, the sec. Thomas Treadwell of Ipswich; Rebecca m. 25 Mar. 1678, Nathaniel Treadwell, as his sec. w. WILLIAM, Newbury, s. of the preced. m. 15 May 1683, Ann, d. of William Cottle, had Jedidiah, b. 17 Jan. 1684; Joanna, 15 July 1686; Daniel, 22 Apr. 1691; Sarah, 17 Dec. 1693; Elias, 27 Feb. 1696; Joseph and Benjamin, tw. 30 Mar. 1698; Moses, 19 June 1700; and Joanna, 3 Sept. 1702. TITE, HENRY, Boston 1655, m. 11 Feb. 1658, Sarah Walton, but I kn. no more of either. TITERTON, TITTERTON, or TYTTERTON, * DANIEL, was perhaps of Boston 1643, when the ar. co. list includes such a name, with Samuel instead of Daniel; but I suppose he rem. to Stratford bef. 1647; was rep. 1647, 49, 52 and 54; and d. 1661. His will pro. 6 July of that yr. names three s. Daniel, Timothy, and Samuel, of wh. Timothy is the only ch. whose b. is on rec. at S. and that was 25 Mar. 1651. To these he gives his est. and lds. in Eng. beside some in N. E. Three ds. also are ment. one. Wilcockson, perhaps the first w. of Timothy, and Mary, and Elizabeth unm. To these two L30 ea. beside L10 ea. for mar. dress. His w. Jane outliv. him. Perhaps two of the s. went home to enjoy est. there. DANIEL, Stratford, s. perhaps eldest, of the preced. b. in Eng. had Mary, b. 11 June 1676, and perhaps others bef. He was one of the sec. society of S. most of wh. rem. to Woodbury, but he did not; freem. 1669. TITUS, ABIEL, Newtown, L. I. was s. of Robert. JOHN, Rehoboth, s. of Robert, b. in Eng. came with his f. perhaps m. a d. of William Carpenter of the same, wh. in his will of Dec. 1659, makes bequest to his s. But JOHN, Rehoboth, wh. m. 17 July 1673, Lydia Redway, had Lydia, b. 1674, may be s. of preced. and his w. was bur. at R. 25 Nov. 1676. He m. sec. w. 3 July foll. Sarah Miller, had John, b. 12 Mar. 1678; Hannah, 10 Nov. 1682. JONATHAN, Rehoboth, had Samuel, b. 29 July 1680. * ROBERT, Weymouth, came in the Hopewell, capt. Bundock, in the spr. of 1635, from London, aged 35, with w. Hannah, 31; ch. John, 8; and Edmund, 5; freem. 13 May 1640; at W. had s. Abiel, b. 17 Mar. 1641; and d. Content, 28 Mar. 1643; rem. to Rehoboth next yr. [[309]] may have had other ch. aft. or bef. was rep. 1648, 9, and 50. SAMUEL, Newtown, L. I. 1644, favor, Conn. jurisdict. and the name is much diffus. SILAS, Rehoboth, had Silas, b. 12 Aug. perhaps 1679; Mary, 30 Mar. 1681. Sometimes it is writ. Tytus. TOBEY, FRANCIS, in Mass. was fin. 1635, for something slight, L10, but three yrs. aft. it was remit. JAMES, k. by the Ind. at Kittery 1705. STEPHEN, perhaps of Portsmouth, N. H. m. 29 Nov. 1688, Hannah Nelson. THOMAS, Sandwich 1650, m. 18 Nov. of that yr. Martha Knott. TODD, CHRISTOPHER, New Haven, was one of the orig. sett. 1639, a propr. 1685, and d. next yr. had John, bapt.

MICAH, or MICHAEL, Wethersfield, rem. to Milford 1639, and Lambert says he d. 1649; but of that I find cause to doubt, for in Trumbull's Col. Rec. II. 513, may be seen verificat. in 1661 and 5 by Michael T. of Milford, wh. must be thot. the same person, as only one with this prefix is ment. for a long course of yrs. He rem. with a great comp. of friends to New Jersey, 1666, and July 1667 bot. large tract from Ind. on the Passaic riv. where now is the city of Newark. See Whitehead, 42, 3. By w. Mary he had at M.

THOMAS, Newport 1651, in the list of freem. 1655, may be the man wh. at Lynn had Thomas, b. 3 Aug. 1665. TOOTHACKER, TOOTHACRE, or TOOTHAKER, ROGER, came in the Hopewell, capt. Babb, from London 1635, aged 23, with his w. Margaret, and s. Roger, 1 yr. d. early, and it is not kn. where he sat down, but in 1638, his wid. m.

She liv. to 22 Dec. 1683, ROGER, Billerica, s. of the preced. had Roger, wh. also had Roger, and all were, says Farmer, physicians. In May 1692, one Roger, of Billerica, prob. this yearling of 1635, was arrest. for witchcr. and he may have been guilty of perform. some unexpect. cure, clear. show. diabolic. aid. TOPLIFFE, CLEMENT, Dorchester 1636, by w. Sarah had Jonathan, b. Apr. 1637; Sarah, May 1639; Obedience, Oct. 1642; Samuel, 7 May 1646; and Patience. He was b. it is said 17 Nov. 1603, freem. 13 May 1640, when the name is writ. Tapley, and d. 24 Dec. 1672, says the valu. acco. in Geneal. Reg. V. 466, but it strangely contradicts itself in counting that date as his 69th instead of 70th yr. His wid. d. 29 July 1693, aged 88, or as that acco. has it in her 88th yr. Sarah m. 11 May 1659 David Jones; Obedience m. 20 Feb. 1660, David [[313]] Copp; and Patience m. 27 Mar. 1667, Nathaniel Homes. Sometimes it was writ. Tapliff by wh. prob. came the error of Tapley.

What was the day of his d. is unkn. JAMES, Scituate, eldest ch. of the preced. m. 1666, Lydia, only d. of William Wills or Willis, as Deane shows, but of issue says nothing, and had sec. w. m. 1679, Eliz, d. of Nathaniel Rawlins; and he had ano. w. or perhaps it was the same, wh. in Dorchester gr.yard by the name of Eunice, wid. of deac. James, d. there 15 Oct. 1732, in her 72d yr. wh. agrees with the age of the d. of Rawlins JONATHAN, Weymouth, prob. s. of William the first, by w.

JOSEPH, Rehoboth 1643, went to Newport in 1654 or earlier, was on the freemen's list 1655; with an assoc. met Dennison and Danforth, Mass. Comsnrs. in 1664 at Rehoboth, a. some quest. of jurisdict. was a lieut. and in 1670 sent with John Greene and others as comsnrs. to adjust bounds with Conn. rul. elder of the ch. of John Clark, at the time of his d. 1676. Perhaps he m. a d. wh. may have been the eldest, of that John Greene, as by the Geneal. I have seen. JOSIAH, Medfield, freem. 1683, was perhaps, s. of James the first of Scituate. MICAJAH, Weymouth, s. of the first William of the same, freem. 1672, by w. Susanna had Micajah, b. 27 July 1673; Mary, 22 Mar. 1681; Susanna, wh. d. 29 Oct. 1687; Samuel, 15 Jan. 1688; and perhaps others, not found on imperf. rec.

In Mar. 1674, aged 59, he testif. that he came [[314]] with William and his s. Samuel to N. E. from Combe St. Nicholas in Somersetsh. that he kn. them bef. and ever since; and George Fry unit. in the fame. testim. SAMUEL, Weymouth, eldest s. of William of the same, was brot. in early youth, 1640, by his f. with Philip, perhaps his uncle, perhaps a cousin, and tho. pass. thro. the first prescrib. course of study for three yrs. would have tak. his A. B. in 1650, yet bec. the term was lengthen. to 4 yrs. he and others, as Dr. Eliot in Biog. Dict. tells, left the Coll. His f. had giv. him the first classic. preparat. and he had so improv. his opportun. that he had great reput. as a min. and was ord. 14 Feb. 1665, to succeed Thomas Thatcher, hav. preach. some yrs. at Hull. He preach. the elect, serm. 1674, again in 1683, again 1695, an honor in no other instance confer. in Mass. and was so highly esteem. for his discret. as to be chos. Presid. of the Coll. in 1681, aft. the d. of Oakes, and again, aft. d. of Rogers; but in his Hist. of H. C. notice of these things by Mather is not found. However, it seems that the Gen. Ct. Rec. V. 345, gave him the same encouragem. to accept. as they had offer. to Increase Mather. Both applicat. were in vain. He m. 15 May 1657, Mary, d. of Edward Rawson, when he liv. at Hull, and for sec. w. 30 July 1695, Mary, wid. of William Symmes, tho. what was her maiden name is undiscov. Nor is my kn. any better as to childr. or whether he had any. He was freem. 1669, and hav. preach. above 50 yrs. d. 21 Apr. 1707, aged 75. I suppose in 1703 he rec. a collea. in Rev. James Bailey. See 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. IX. 195. * WILLIAM, Weymouth 1640, came that yr. from Combe St. Nicholas, close to Chard, in Co. Somerset, bring. s. Samuel, and accomp. by George Fry and Philip T. wh. may have been his br. or near relat. here soon found a sec. w. if as to me seems prob. the mo. of Samuel were d. had Naomi, b. 3 Dec. 1641; Mary, 3 Dec. 1642; Micajah, 12 Oct. 1643, unless as is very prob. there be error in the rec. print. in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 349. By the fail. of rec. in a long interval, we lose perhaps half a dozen other ch. certain. William and Jonathan. He was adm. freem. 18 May 1642, rep. 1642, and very oft. aft. even 1679-83, and aft. overthrow of Andros in 1690, was only lieut. and later capt. chos. clk. of the house of reps. 1650, and usual. aft. hav. as Johnson says, special qualificat. in that office.

He was one of the bold petitnrs. for liberty of prophecy, 30 Aug. 1653. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 44. TOTMAN, STEPHEN, Scituate, s. of Thomas, had Stephen, and Samuel; but from Deane I learn no more. THOMAS, Plymouth, rem. to Scituate bef. 1660, and had Stephen. TOUCHWILL, JOSEPH, is the name of a soldier in capt. Mosely's comp. on March in Dec. 1675, to the great Narraganset fight; but how much is may be distort. on the roster in uncert.

He liv. at Roxbury, some yrs. aft. there by w. Mary had Gabriel, b. 24 Sept. 1694; and Esther, 12 June 1696. GABRIEL, Boston, perhaps br. of the preced. was b. at Bordeaux in France, as is relat. but came from Rochelle in comp. with Gabriel Bernon, whose d. Mary he m. and it is said he d. at sea. But that he had ch. is kn. by many descend. Prob. the fam. rem. to Oxford, as in that vicin. the name is still perpet. TOUSLAND, TOUSLEY, TOWSE, or TOUSEY, RICHARD, Saybrook, perhaps had a w. and fam. bef. 1666, but in this yr. made contr. of m. with Dorothy, wid. of John Edwards, wh. had been wid. of Abraham Finch, of Wethersfield, d. early in Feb. 1674, giv. back to his w. the prop. she brot. him.

WILLIAM, Boston, adm. of the ch. 3 Aug. 1634, the same day with Gov. Bellingham and his w. with John Newgate and the w. of our br. Nicholas Wyllys, of wh. W. T. is then call. serv. so that we may well infer, that he came early that yr. from London. The simplicity of charact. was exhitib. in the puritan's household, and this stile of serv. did not imply inferior condit. so much as obligat. to learn, otherwise, in case of males, term apprent. His w. Hannah Penn, wh. had join the ch. 15 Mar. 1635, is call. "our br. James Everill's maid serv." was sis. of the rul.

John Winslow was made excor. names the five ch. to wh. he gives all his prop. so that we must presume the w. was d. Sarah m. George Partridge. * THOMAS, Salem 1637, carpenter, rem. soon to Saybrook, thence in few yrs. to Wethersfield, or Hartford, perhaps both, but at last took up perman. resid. at Norwich, of wh. he was one of the parent. rep. 1662, and almost always aft. ensign long, and lieut.

He was Commissary in Philip's war. WILLIAM, is the first name on the list of passeng. in the Mary and John, wh. took o. of alleg. 24 Mar. 1634, and as so many of his compan. over the ocean sat down at Newbury aft. tempor. resid. at Ipswich, we may be justif. in think. that he did so; and possib. he is ancestor of those wh. gave high distinct. to this name near a century ago in that place. Farmer marks in 1834, that nine of this name had been gr. at Yale, three at Harv. and eight at other N. E. coll. most at Dart. TRAFTON, THOMAS, York, sw. alleg. to Charles II. 22 Mar. 1681.

His wid. m. Anthony Wright. * RICHARD, Wethersfield, is one of the very few early sett. whom we can find no trace of in Mass. where he may have been a serv. or apprent. yet it is said that he was a rep. in the first Gen. Ct. 1637, tho. that is not prob. for in Trumbull's Col. rec. I find not his name in that relat. was chos. an Assist. 1658 to 65, but not after the union with New Haven in that yr. He was nam. in the Royal Chart. of 23 Apr. 1662, for junct. of the two Cols. and rem. to Milford, only, I suppose, to estab. his s. Robert at that settlem. for he is counted on the list of freem. at W. 1669. In this yr. he d. hav. made his will of 13 Feb. of the same. names without suffic. particular. of the ds. his w. Alice and ch. perhaps all b. in Eng. Richard; Robert, b. a. 1622; James, a. 1634; Honor, m. a. 1637, John Deming the first; Joanna, w. of John Hollister; Sarah, m. a. 1644, Matthew Campfield; Susanna, m. a. 1652, Robert Webster of Middletown; and one, Catharine, wh. m. 19 Nov. 1655, William Thompson of New Haven, tho. by Chapin, Glastonbury, 185, the name is giv. Johnson, who. may have been sec. h. beside cous. Samuel Wells; and gr.s. call. cous. Daniel Deming. His wid. was not the mo. of the childr. it is suppos. bec. he is said to have brot. from Eng. w. Joanna. RICHARD, Wethersfield, eldest s. of the preced. b. in Eng. is in the list of freem. of W. 1669, as well as his f. but we may judge that each had been so twenty yrs. or more; by w. Sarah, d. of Thomas Coleman, had Richard, b. 14 Feb. 1663; Sarah, 8 June 1664; Mary, 8 Oct. 1666; and Thomas, 12 Dec. 1668; was one of the three corporals of the first troop of horse, 1658. His wid. d. 23 Aug. 1734. Sarah m. 20 May [[327]] 1684, Ephraim Goodrich; and Mary m. 10 Dec. 1684, Thomas, Chester, both of W. RICHARD, Wethersfield, s. of James, first of the same, m. 23 Nov. 1704, Catharine, d. of Rev. Gershom Bulkley, had only Catharine, b. 26 Aug. 1706; and d. 7 May 1713. * ROBERT, Milford, s. of the first Richard, b. in Eng. had liv. with his f. at Wethersfield, and was not, as oft. said, an early sett. at M. certain. not bef. 1647, was an Assist. of the New Haven Col. 1659, wh. rank of course, was not contin. aft. the union with Conn. where, tho. on withdraw. of his f. from that office in the older Col. 1665, he was put in nominat. but did not gain the honor until 1673, yet had the compliments of being a capt. and rep. under the new admin. in Philip's war, was command.-in-chief, and in 1676, when Leete was chos. Gov. aft. d. of Winthrop, he was made Dept. Gov. was oft. a commissnr. of the Unit. Col. of N. E. and aft. d. of Leete 1683, succeed, him as Gov. By the royal constitution of Sir Edmund Andros, to be head of all the Northern provinces, T. was nam. one of his council, and tho. he did not resist, but acquiesced, he was hailed Gov. on the overthr. In that place he serv. 15 yrs. retir. from old age, and d. 12 July 1710, aged 88. Lambert marks his d. 1712. He had two ws. Jane, only d. of Edmund Tapp, wh. d. 8 Apr. 1703; and he m. 22 Oct. 1705, a wid. Elizabeth Bryan, wh. d. 10 Jan. 1706. It is said he had 21 ch. (and very glad should I be to prove above half of the tradit. num.) but ten only have been heard of by me; viz. Samuel, bapt. 3 Sept. 1648, H. C. 1669; John, 20 Oct. 1650; Mary, 23 May, not 28 (as my correspond. writes), 1652, bec. this was Friday, and ch. in our country, without except. in that age, were bapt. on Sunday only; Robert, b. 14 Aug. 1654; Sarah, 9 Oct. 1656; Hannah, 1 Jan. 1660, wh. m. Rev. Samuel Mather of Windsor; Joseph, a. 1662; Abigail, wh. m. Rev. Samuel Andrew of Milford; beside Jane, and Ann, wh. d. bef. their f. If any respect for tradit. would solicit explana. of its giv. twenty-one ch. to the Gov. it may be guessed to have sprung from the fact, that his ch. add. to the ten of the first w. of s. Samuel made up the desired number. Being above 83 yrs. old, when he took his sec. w. none by her was expect. Very observa. is it that in Goodwin's Geneal. Notes, 229, after the heading, "Descend, in the line of Robert," not one is giv. wh. must be regard. as a misfortune attending Goodwin's bef. one eighth of the vol. was print. for he was not the man to be frightened by such a mythical host. On p. 328 the list that was intend. to be insert. and may perhaps now seem imperfect, is found, and some error is seen, if the Milford rec. be correct. The Gov. in his will of 5 Jan. 1708, names only these seven ch. Samuel, John, Mary, Robert, Hannah, Joseph, and Abigail. No doubt the other three were d. and prob. the date of Abigail's b. in Goodwin is wrong. SALMON, Preston, s. of the [[328]] first James, ord. the first min. at that place, 16 Nov. 1698, had m. 28 Apr. preced. Dorothy, d. of Rev. James Noyes of Stonington; had Ann, b. 26 Aug. 1699; James, 29 Nov. 1700; Dorothy, 9 Feb. 1702; Jerusha, 21 Nov. 1704; Prudence, 23 Nov. 1706; Sarah, 19 Sept. 1708; and Rebecca, 29 June 1710; resign. his charge, Mar. 1744, and d. 1746.

He was a lieut. and engag. in promot. separat. from Wethersfield of the new town. He d. 17 Feb. 1713; and his wid. d. 1757. In 1837 the gr. at Yale counted eight, at Harv. four.

TREFREY, TREFREY, TURFREY or TURFREE, * GEORGE, York, must have been a high patriot, for he was chos. rep. 1692. John, Boston, was assoc. somehow with the unpopular. of Gov.

FRANCIS, by Farmer in MS. mark. of Portsmouth 1655, means, I think, Thomas, ISAAC, Dover 1670, was perhaps s. of Thomas. JOSEPH, Dover, s. of Thomas, had w. Rebecca, to wh. as his brs. wid. Zechary gave some ld. 2 Feb. 1709. THOMAS, Dover 1648, by Farmer in MS call. of Exeter 1644, d. 1674; leav. s. Zechary, and Joseph, perhaps, also Isaac and Ephraim. ZECHARY, Dover, s. of Thomas, was call. sen. 1709, so that he may have had s. Zechary. This name is frequent in that neighborhood. TRILL, THOMAS, Hartford 1664, then a serv. a soldier in Conn. forces, 1675, of wh. I kn. only that he was fined for unseason. firing of his gun, had w. Ann, prob. s. Thomas, and d. 1700. TRIMMINGS, OLIVER, Exeter 1644, had w. Susanna. TRINER, THOMAS, Marblehead 1674; but I doubt the spell. may mean Tainer, wh. see. TRIPP, ABIEL, Portsmouth, R. I. perhaps s. of John of the same, m. 30 Jan. 1679, Deliverance Hall, perhaps d. of William of the same, had Abiel, b. 22 June 1684; and the f. d. 10 Sept. foll. * JOHN, Portsmouth, [[331]] 1638, and on the list of freem. there 1655, had w. Mary, to wh. in his will of 1650, Anthony Paine had giv. a leacy, for wh. her h. gave discharge to testator's relict by name of Rose Weeden, and for sec. w. he m. 7 Sept. 1665, Susann, d. of John Anthony the first of the same, had Susanna, b. 1 Oct. 1667; Mary, 9 Dec. 1670; John, 9 July 1673; Othaniel, 5 June 1676; Benjamin, 21 Feb. 1678; and Lot, 26 Dec. 1684; was rep. 1656 and 1672, Alice m. 26 Jan. 1671, Willaim Hall' Isbell m. 4 Mar. 1675, Samson Shearman; Martha m. 3 Feb. 1681, Samuel Shearman; and Susanna m. 20 Jan. 1687, Thomas Potter. JOSEPH, Dartmouth, perhaps s. of the preced. was rep. 1685. TRISTRAM, or TRUSTRUM, BENJAMIN, Saco, s. of Ralph, was d. in Apr. 1679, when Francis Hooke took admin. RALPH, Saco 1647, adm. freem. of Mass. 1655, had been constable 1653, appoint. by our authority, was much respect. and d. 1678. Dominicus Jordan, his s.-in-law, had admin. on the f. and s. Nathaniel, both in Apr. 1679. His. ch. b. betw. 1644 and 64 were Samuel, Nathaniel, Benjamin, Richard, Rachel, Ruth, Freegrace, Hannah, wh m. Dominicus Jordan, and David. But Folsom, 180, was not so happy as to be able to give particulars. TROOP, Barnstable, m. 14 May 1666, Mary, d. of Ralph Chapman, had Mary b. 6. Apr. 1667; and prob. others, certain. Thomas, bapt. 6 Sept. 1683. TROTMAN, JOHN, Boston 1643, went home next yr. and in Feb. 1645, by letter fr. London, gave his w. Catharine power to sell his est. here. TROTT, BENJAMIN, Nantucket, s. of John, m. 15 Jan. 1730, Elizabeth d. of Jacob Norton, had Mary, b. 1730; Benjamin, d. soon; Rachel; John; Ann; Priscilla; and Dinah; and d. 8 Sept. 1776. His wid. d. 17 June 1780. BERNARD, Boston 1665, merch. for ten yrs. here. ELIAS, Wethersfield 1645, may have been s. of Richard. JAMES, Dorchestsr, s. of the first Thomas, d. 27 Sept. 1719, by the inscript. on the gr.st. JOHN, perhaps of Wethersfield, serv. on jury 1642. JOHN, Nantucket, by the rec. had by w. Ann, Tabitha, b. 2 Mar. 1679; Joseph, 10 Mar. but in ano. place said to be Apr. 1681; Rachel, 23 Aug. 1683; but in ano. place it is said John, prob. tw. was b. 28 of that same mo.; Benjamin, 8 Nov. 1685; James, 20 Jan. 1688; Mary, 31 Oct. 1690; Abigail, 8 June 1693; and Priscilla, 11 Mar. 1697, i. e. prob. 1698; beside Elizabeth; and he d. 26 Apr. 1728.

JOHN, Dorchester, s. of Thomas of the same, liv. at Milton, m. 20 Dec. 1703, Deliverence, wid. of Joseph Withington. MATTHIAS, defdt. in a suit 1646, but in my opinin is just as likely to mean Treat. RICHARD, Wethersfield 1642, and thenceforward this surname occurs so oft. especial. on the gr. jury 1643, and as rep. every single yr. fr. 1644 to 1658, but without the baptismal prefix, in Trumbull's Col. Rec. perhaps in 50 or 60 places, when Richard Treat is found so seldom, that I doubt not this may be freq. substitut. SAMUEL, Dorchester, s. of the first Thomas, d. 3 Aug. 1724. SIMON, Wells, was sw. freem. of Mass. 1653. THOMAS, Dorchester, freem. 1664, had Thomas; Preserved; Sarah b. 10 or 16 Jan. 1654; Mary, 26 Jan. 1657; Samuel, 27 Aug. 1660; John, 24 Nov. bapt. 4 Dec. 1664; Thankful, 5 Dec.

TROUT, WILLIAM, sw. fidel. to Mass. at Pemaquid, 1674. TROW, HENRY, Ipswich, or more prob. Salisbury, freem. 1676. I think this name may have bec. True, and was, perhaps at first, Trew. TROWBRIDGE, CALEB, New Haven, s. of the sec. Thomas, had w. Mary, but no ch. d. 1704. CALEB, Groton, youngest s. of James the first, ord. Mar. 1715, soon aft. m. Sarah, d. of Hon.

JAMES, Dorchester, s. prob. youngest, of Thomas, perhaps brot. by his f. from Eng. where he may have been b. 1636, but bapt. 1638 at D. and soon carr. to New Haven, there left with brs. Thomas and William, when his f. went home to Taunton, Co. Somerset. From New Haven he rem. to D. and m. 30 Dec. 1659, Margaret, d. of Humphery Atherton, had Elizabeth b. 12 Oct. 1660; Mindwell, 20 June 1662; John, 22 May 1664; rem. to Cambridge, and had Margaret, 30 Apr. 1666; Thankful, 6 Mar. 1668; Mary, 11 June 1670; and Hannah, 15 June 1672.

JAMES, New Haven, third s. of William the first, a propr. 1685, m. 8 Nov. 1688, Lydia, d. of the first Joseph Alsop, had James b. 13 Sept. 1689; and he m. a sec. w. 29 Sept. 1692, Esther How, youngest d. of Ephraim.

SAMUEL, New Haven, fourth s. of William the first, by w. Sarah had Samuel, Hannah, Elizabeth and Sarah. THOMAS, New Haven 1640, had, says tradit. first sat down at Dorchester, coming from Taunton, in Co. Somerset, a. 1637, but was prosecut. voyages to and from Barbadoes. I think he was of Combe St. Nicholas, only a. 10 or 12 ms. S. E. from Taunton, near the bordiers of Devon. More reasona. import. is ano. pt. of the tradit. that he brot. three s. Thomas, assumed to have been b. 1632; William, a. 1634; and James, bef. ment. whether he was ever resid. in Dorchester is uncert. but a. 1644, he went home, leav. his boys to the care of serg. Thomas Jeffreys, and his prop. to be manag. by Henry Gibbons, from wh. aft. 20 yrs. it was not easy to obt. acco. He never came back, and d. at or near, Taunton 7 Feb. 1672. THOMAS, New Haven, eldest s. of the preced. b. in Eng. was propound. for freem. 1668, and is found in the list next yr. made commissary for the expedit. 1673 against the Dutch, and much esteem. in 1675 and 6; m. 24 June 1657, Sarah, wid. of Henry Rutherford; had Sarah, b. 7 Nov. 1658, d. at 17 yrs.; John, 23 Nov. 1661; Thomas, 14 Feb. 1664; Lydia, 7 June, 1666; Caleb, 28 Oct. 1670; Daniel, 5 Jan. 1673; Elizabeth 30 June 1676; and Sarah, 24 Sept. 1680, d. at 10 yrs. His w. d. 22 Aug. 1687, and he m. 2 Apr. 1689, Hannah, wid. of Eliphalet Ball, d. of John Nash, had Hannah, 30 Mar. 1690; and he d. 22 Aug. 1702. His wid. d. 3 Feb. 1708.

His wid. d. 15 Sept. 1742. THOMAS, Newton, s. of James the first, had John by a first w. as only ch. and he next m. 3 Mar. 1709, Mary Goffe of Cambridge, perhaps d. of Samuel, had Edmund, b. 1709, H. C. 1728, the learned Judge; Lydia, 1710; [[334]] and Mary, 1712; and he took third w. Susanna, 7 Jan. 1715, rem. to New London, there d. 1724. Lydia m. 31 Jan. 1737, Richard Dana, f. of the late Francis, H. C. 1762, Ch. J. of Mass. so that his s. and gr.s. were in two generat. one in the last preced. the war of Independ. and the other at the beginning of the nineteenth century, our luminaries of the common law. WILLIAM, New Haven, s. of Thomas the first, b. in Eng. m. 9 Mar. 1657, Elizabeth Selivant, wid. of Daniel, d. of Capt; George Lamberton, had William, b. 12 Nov. foll.; Thomas, 2 Oct. 1659; Elizabeth 5 Jan. 1662; James, 26 Mar. 1664; Margaret, 1 June 1666; Hannah, 6 July 1663; Abigail, and Samuel, tw. 7 Oct. 1670; Mary, 12 Oct. 1672; and Joseph, 1676; was propound. for freem. 1669, and d.

WILLIAM, Newton, s. of James the first, m. 14 Dec. 1708, Sarah, of John Ward, had Mary, b. 18 Sept. 1709; William, 2 Feb. 1711, d. soon; Huldah, 13 Feb. 1712, d. soon; William, again, 13 Oct. 1713, d. soon; Huldah, 23 Mar. 1615, d. soon; James, 21 Apr. 1717; tw. ds. 1720 d. bef. b. prob. with their mo.

Farmer, MS. notes that in 1834, two of this name had been gr. at Harv. two at Yale; but very curious is the fact that rec. of town and ch. at Haddam where one branch of the surname spread, both give it Strawbridge. TRUANT, or TROUANT, JOSEPH, perhaps s. of Maurice, Marshfield, m. 6 Jan. 1675, was drown. on enter. Plymouth harbor, a. 23 Feb. 1684. MAURICE, Duxbury 1643, had possib. first been at Watertown, and in 1631, was fin. for stealing pig's meat of Ralph Glover; perhaps only a youthful peccadillo; in few yrs. rem. to Marshfield. there had fam. of wh. I think, were Joseph; perhaps Hannah, wh. m. 11 Jan. 1682, Jonathan Eames; and also Mehitable, wh. m. 3 Sept. 1691, John Daggett; and he d. 21 Apr. 1685. TRUE, HENRY, Salem 1644, had John, bapt. 13 July 1645; Mary, 14 Mar. 1647; Lydia, 4 Feb. 1649; Joseph, 8 Feb. 1652; Benjamin, 19 Feb. 1654; Jemima, 26. Apr. 1657. His w. was Israel, d. of John Pike, unless the books have mistak. her name; and he rem. prob. to Salisbury; was freem. of 1676, spell. Trew, and read Trow. HENRY, Salisbury, s. of the preced. m. 15, or 16 by ano. rec. Mar. 1668, Jane, d. of Thomas Bradbury, had Mary, b. 30 May 1668, if the Gen. Reg. VIII. [[335]] 233, be correct. wh. is not prob.; William, June 1670; Henry, 6 Jan. 1674; Jane, 5 Dec. 1676; John, 23 Feb. 1679; Jemima, 16 Mar. 1681; and Jabez, 19 Feb. 1683. He was rep. 1689. JOSEPH, Salisbury, br. of the preced. m. 20 Apr. 1675, Ruth Whittier, perhaps d. of Thomas, had Joseph, b. 9 Jan. 1676, prob. d. young; John, 18 Aug. 1677 d. in 4 mos.; Joseph, again, 4 Mar. 1679; Ruth, 5 Oct. 1683; Israel, whether male or fem. I kn. not, 14 Dec. 1687; and Benjamin, 5 Mar. 1691. He took o. of alleg. 15 Dec. 1677, and was freem. 1690. TRUESDALE, TRUSDELL, TREWSDALE TREUSDALE or TRUESDALL, RICHARD, Boston, call. on join. the ch. 27 July 1634, serv. to our teacher John Cotton, freem. 4 Mar. foll. serv. in 1639 on the coroner's inq. on dead body of Peter Fitchew, wilful. drown. and next yr. on the more import. jury for trial of Hugh Bewett for heresy. He had no ch. prob. but his w. is, I suppose, meant in two letters of our first Gov. Winthrop to his s. John, Nov. 1646, mention that his s. Wait was with sis. T. That phrase led Farmer to write of Richard T. "perhaps br.-in-law of Gov. Winthrop." By similar misunderstand. of the word sis. the descend. of Samuel Symonds; suppos. they were of the same blood of John Winthrop of Conn. whose only sis. that passed infancy was first w. of Samuel Dudley, not Symonds. He was a butcher, and deac. of the first ch. but revolted at the disingen. managem. by wh. Davenport was brot. from New Haven, to be the min. and bec. one of the founders of the third or O. S. ch. in 1669 and d. 1671 leav. wid. Mary. SAMUEL, Cambridge, neph. of the preced. from wh. by his will he rec. £50, m. 1671, Mary, d. of John Jackson, first, of the same, had Richard, b. 16 July 1672; Mary, 3 Nov. 1673; Samuel, 13 Oct. 1675; Mindwell. 31 Aug. 1676; Rebecca, 25 Mar. 1678; Experience; Thomas, 27 Apr. 1682; and Ebenezer, 1685 . He was freem. 1685, liv. on S. side of the riv. in what was call. Cambridge vil. now Newton, for separat. of wh. he was active; had sec. w. Elizabeth wid. of George Woodward, d. of Thomas Hammond of Watertown; and a third w. Mary is nam. in his will. He d. says Jackson, 2 Mar. 1695, in 49th yr. wh. makes me concur with the diligent and judicious author of the Hist. of N. in, suppos. tho. ign. of the name of his f. that he was b. in our country. Under this name, Farmer had includ. John and John jr. of Kittery 1652; but I follow the rec. in spell. them Twisdale. TRULL, JOHN, Billerica, m. 11 Dec. 1657, Sarah, d. of William French, had John, b. 13 Jan. 1659; d. in few days; Sarah 27 May 1660; was freem. 1690, then call. sen. so that perhaps he had John, again, and other ch. He d. 15 June 1704, aged 70. SAMUEL, Billerica, perhaps br. of the preced. is on the tax list of 1679, when the name of John is not seen. TRUMAN, JOSEPH, New London 1666, constable 1667, d. in 1697, [[336]] made his will in Sept. 1696, ment. ch. Joseph, Thomas, Elizabeth Mary, and Ann, all perhaps b. bef. he went thitber. JOSEPH, New London, s. of the preced. m. 5 Dec. 1701, Mary Shapley, d. of Benjamin. TRUMBULL, TRUMBALL, TRUMBOLL, TRUMBLE, TRUMBELL, or TRUMMELL, DANIEL, Lynn, 1647, as Lewis marks, but adds not a word more. JOHN, Cambridge 1636, said to have come from New Castle on Tyne, was fin. L20 at the court, Mar. 1637, but for some cause so slight that it might have found lighter censure, as in June foll. three quarters of the penalty were taken off, and, at the general show of similar favor in 1638, L4 more were remit. Perhaps he is the sec. freem. of this name 13 May 1640, but in rec. giv. Trumball. By w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth 6 June 1638; John, 4 Aug. 1641; Hannah, 10 Dec. 1642; rem. to Charlestown, there had Mary, 3, but ano. rec. says 9 Feb. 1645; besides that on Cambridge rec. comes, also, James, 7 Dec. 1647. He was capt. of a trading vessel, and may have been the man in the Col. Rec. of Conn. I. 162, willing to accept Matthew Griswold's oath to his demand in 1648, and prob. the one meant by Davenport in Epist. to Gov. Winthrop 1655, as bring. him letters from Eng. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 7. He was a shopkeep. in Charlestown 1673, a householder in 1678, and d. leav. wid. Elizabeth early in July 1687, in his 80th yr. the inv. being tak. on 6 of that mo. and ret. by his s. John 19 Aug. foll. The wid. d. 15 Aug. 1696 in 86th yr. His d. Hannah m. 2 Mar. 1659 John Baxter. JOHN, Roxbury, when. in ch. rec. the spell. is Trumell, wh. caused a very experienced reader of early writ. to make it Trumtell, freem. 13 May 1640, is no more heard of at R. and, I think, was very soon at Rowley, there by w. Ellen had Hannah, b. 14 Feb. 1641; Judah, 3 June 1643; Ruth, 23 Apr. 1645; Joseph, 19 May 1647; m. Ann, perhaps d. of the first Richard Swan, had Abigail, 10 Dec. 1651, and d. 1657, bur. 18 July. His inv. was by w. Ann brot. 29 Sept. and he left John, Joseph, Judah, and perhaps more. The s. John is made. the progenit. of the great Conn. fam. and the common error found support in the Appx. to the Centen. Addr. by Bradford. The older s. stuck by the paternal mansion. JOHN, Rowley, s. prob. of the sec. freem. 1665, m. prob. a d. of William Jackson, of R. and made deac. 24 Dec. 1686, was appoint. ens. there by the Gen. Ct. 1685. JOHN, Charlestown, s. of the first John, m. 26 Sept. Mary, d. of Edward Jones, had Samuel, wh. was bapt. 25 July 1697 a. 14 yrs. old. He serv. in Mosely's comp. Dec. 1675. JOSEPH, Suffield 1677, s. prob. of the first. John of Rowley, freem. 1681, as early as July 1675, liv. in Suffield, from wh. the Ind. hostil. soon drove him, there had Joseph, b. 16 Jan. 1679; Ammi, 1 Aug. 1681; Benoni, 10 Aug. 1684; beside some of the rem. to S. of wh. prob. Hannah, wh. m. 26 Nov. 1686, d. of John Strong, the third, was one, as also John. His s. Joseph m. Hannah, d. of John Higley of Simsbury; rem. to Lebanon, and was f. of the first Gov. Jonathan, b. 1710, H. C. 1727, a [[337]] disting. patriot. JUDAH, Rowley, perhaps s. of the first John of the same, rem. to Suffield a. 1676, had a w. Mary, and ch. John, b. 5 Mar. 1674; Ebenezer, 1 Aug. 1675, d. soon; Joseph, 3 Jan. 1677; Judah, 2 Jan. 1679; Mary, 20 Mar. 1681; William, 9 July 1683; Samuel, 1 June 1643; and Ephraim, 6 July 1688; and d. Apr. 1692. His wid. Mary 22 Dec. 1692, bec. third w. of Vicary Sikes. Ralph. Marshfield 1643, may possib. be a miswrit. surname, Trumle. Of this name, ten have been gr. at Yale, and five at Harv. TRUSTRUM. See Tristram. TRY, or TRAY, MICHAEL, Windsor, freem. 1640, freed in 1660 from watch and ward, had sev. yrs. bef. rem. to Fairfield, had only ch. Sarah, wh. m. John Gruman. To her and her childr. he gave most. of his est. wh. was very considerab. when he d. 1676 or 7. He had above 20 yrs. earlier m. for sec. w. Margaret, wid. of Richard Roots of F. TUBBS, SAMUEL, New London a. 1663, m. Mary, d. of Isaac Willey, but Miss Caulkins in lettr of July 1860 tells me, that he had Mary and Bethia, bapt. on same day in May 1671; Samuel, July 1672; William, May 1674 (and I regret that the days of the several mos. are uncert.); Dorcas, b. 2 Mar. 1689; Joseph, 3 Sept. 1692; perhaps other ch. and d. 1696. His wid. was liv. 1725, then aged 77. WILLIAM, Plymouth and Duxbury, m. 9 Nov. 1637, Mercy d. of Francis Sprague, and was one of the proprs. of Bridgewater. TUCKE, or TEWK, EDWARD, Hampton, s. of Robert, perhaps b. in Eng. had John, if the acco. of Congr. min. in Rockingham Co. by Rev. William Cogswell, Geneal. Reg. I. 247, be correct (wh. disagrees with Farmer MS.) d. a. 1653. JOHN, Hampton, s. of Robert, says Farmer, by w. Bethia had John, b. 19 Apr. 1687, prob. d. young; Jonathan, Aug. 1697; John, again, 23 Aug. 1702, H. C. 1723, min. at Isle of Shoals, wh. d. 12 Aug. 1773, leav. John, H. C. 1758. He was rep. 1717, and d. 4 Jan. 1742. ROBERT, Watertown, came prob. in 1636, from Gorleston, Co. Suffolk, two ms. S. of Yarmouth, was freem. 7 Sept. 1639, but then was of Hampton, perhaps, where was his perman. resid. in latter days, though he may have been entit. a tailor of Salem at one time, was fin. for sell. beer, soon, aft. had license for th first inn at H. 1643, and d. 4 Oct. 1664, leav. wid. Joanna, wh. d. 14 Feb. 1673, by wh. perhaps, he had Mary, wh. m. lieut. John Sanborn, and d. 30 Dec. 1668; Edward, bef. ment.; Robert; William, b. a. 1646; and John, 1652. Robert and William prefer. to live in Eng. THOMAS, Salem 1637, was then a. 25 yrs. old, if his memo. thirty yrs. later be true. THOMAS, Charlestown, by w. Elizabeth d. of lieeut. Randall Nichols, had Mary, bapt. 29 Jan. 1671; Catharine, 23 July 1676, d. soon; Catharine, again, [[338]] 18 Nov. 1677; and Mary, 7 Oct. 1683; and he d. 12 Sept. 1687. WILLIAM, Milford, a propr. bef. 1675, rem. a few yrs. aft. TUCKER, ABRAHAM, and JOHN, early proprs. of Dartmouth, may have been s. often of Sandwich. ANDREEW, Marblehead 1663, was perhaps s. of Nicholas, and may be the man whose name in the petitn. of Marbleheaed, 1668 is giv. Stocker in Geneal. Reg. IX. 82. BENJAMIN, Roxbury, s. of Robert, had Benjamin, b. 8 Mar. 1671; Jonathan, 14 May 1675; Ephraim, 16 Aug. 1677, Ebenezer, 10 Oct. 1679; Mary, 7 Aug. 1682; Edward, 8 Aug. 1684; and by w. Amy, says the rec. tho. she may have been mo. of all the preced. had Joseph, 2 Nov. 1686; and by w. Ann, wh. I think the same, as the rec. is very careless, had Elizabeth 20 Dec. 1683. He d. 27 Feb. 1714, aged a. 60, as the gr.stone tells. BENONI, Salisbury, eldest s. of Maurice, m. June 1686, Ebenezer, d. of Thomas Nichols, strange as the rec. reads, had Ebenezer, b. 31 Mar. 1687; Benjamin, 12 Jan. 1690; Nathaniel, 12 Nov. 1692; Elizabeth 24 Mar. 1695; and Mary, 4 May 1697. EPHRIAM, Milton, s. prob. of Robert of the same was freem. 1678 and perhaps had w. and ch. GEEORGE, Marblehead 1653, a fisherman. HENRY, Sandwich, by w. Martha, had as the Friend's rec. at Newport tells, Abraham, b. 30 Oct. 1653; John, 18 Aug. 1656; Martha, 14 July 1659; Hannah, b. 25 July 1662; James, 16 Mar. 1666; Mary, 16. Aug. 1668; Sarah, 20 Sept. 1674. Mary m. 9 May 1690, Samuel Perry of Kingstown. But the Perry geneal. calls Tucker of Dartmouth; and certain. Abraham and John, prob. his s. were proprs. of D. JAMES, Milton, perhaps br. of Ephraim, m. Rebecca d. of Thomas Tolman, had, in 1678 a suit with the town of Dorchester, wh. gather. from him and others taxes, wh. the Gen. Ct. req. the town to repay. Prob. he had James, and perhaps others. JAMES, of some part of New Hampsh. perhaps Portsmouth or Dover, in each were fams. of the name, in 1689, when he join. other friends of liberty, in addr. the governm. of Mass. to protect them. JOHN, Watertown, 1636, a propr. perhapa the same man was next yr. at Hingham, propr. in ea. town, m. June 1649 wid. Norton, it may be as his sec. w. and d. 5 Aug. 1661, making nuncup. will in favor of John, and Mary, his ch. with injunct. to deal righteous. by the mother, meaning, I suppose, the stepmother, Ann, his wid. His d. Mary (by the former w.) to wh. Thomas Johnson and his w. Margaret gave all their prop. had bef. 30 Oct. 1662, m. Joseph Church. JOHN, Boston, by w. Sarah had Elizabeth b. 5 Feb. 1652; John, 8 Oct. 1655. JOHN, Isle of Shoals, fisherman, by his will of 31 Oct. 1670, gave small sum to his. min. Thomas Wells of Kittery, and bestow. the rest on John Amerideth and Joanna his w. and as the inv. of Apr. foll. was of so considera. amt. as £74, we may infer. that he had no w. nor ch. [[339]] JOHN, Portsmouth, perhaps s. of Richard, was one of the founders of the ch. 1671, freem. 1673; and call. sen. may have join. with the great body of people to solicit protect. in 1689, from Mass. and d. 2 May 1706. JOHN, Boston, mem. 3d. ch. freem. 1676. JOHN, Hingham, s. of John of the same, m. Mar. 1658, Elizabeth Hobart, wh. may have been d. of Edmund the sec. of the same, was freem. 1677. JOHN, Newbury, m. 11 July 1670, Mary Richardson, had Mary, b. 13 May 1677, prob. d. soon; Mary, again 25 Jan. 1697; Richard, 9 Mar. 1681; and John, 29 July 1683. JOHN, Gloucester, perhaps, but not prob. s. of Robert of the same, m. 9 May 1681, Sarah, d. of Thomas Riggs, had Mary, b. 1682; Sarah, 1695; John, 1686; William, 1690; Thomas, 1692; Richard, 1695; Abigail, 1697; Joseph, 1701, and Grace 1706; may have liv. at Casco, betw. 1680 and 90, some short time, but where or when he d. is unkn. JOHN, Dover, capt. by the Ind. 26 July 1696, may have been adult or minor. JOSEPH, Milton, was one of the comp. of the brave capt. Isaac Johnson, wh. was k. at their head in the great battle of 19 Dec. 1675, and T. may have fallen also, for I kn. no more of him. JOSEPH, Salisbury, s. of Maurice of the same, by w. Phebe Page had James, b. 25 Apr. 1697; Samuel, 16 Apr. 1699; and Joseph, 29 Aug. 1702. LEWIS, Casco 1680-90, was perhaps s. of Richard, b. 1643, certain. br. of John, had Hugh of Kittery, Lewis of Newcastle N. H. Elizabeth wh. m. a Bragdon of York or Kittery, and Grace, wh. m. Isaac Pierce of Boston. Willis I. 213. MANASSEH, Milton, perhaps s. of Robert of the same, freem. 1678, m. bef. 1679, Waitstill, eldest d. of Roger Sumner, had Manasseh, b. a. 1681, and prob. others; was deac. MAURICE, or MORRIS, Salisbury, m. 14 Oct. 1661, Elizabeth d. prob. of John Stevens of the same, had Benoni, b. 16 Oct. 1662, and she d. the same day. By sec. w. Elizabeth he had John, 16 Aug. 1664; Mary, 21 May 1666; James, 28 Dec. 1667; Sarah, 19 May 1670; Joseph, 20 Feb. 1672; Jabez, 5 Feb. 1675; Elizabeth 27 Apr. 1677; and Morris or Maurice, 6 Sept. 1679; was sw. his alleg. 1677, and freem. 1690, when the name is giv. Meros, lucki. for him the last letter was not Z. NICHOLAS, Salem or Marblehead, d. a. 1664. RICHARD, Casco, one of the earliest sett. in 1634, conjoint. with George Cleaves in maint. right of Laconia Pat. and agent for Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and next for Alexander Rigby [Winthrop II. 256]; of the gr. jury 1640, in 1653 had rem. to vicin. of Portsmouth, in 16653 stood strong for jurisdict. of Mass. against the royal commissnrs. and d. 1679, as Willis I. 29 tells, wh. ment. that his w. Margaret outliv. him. Perhaps she was passeng. aged 23, embark. 1 July 1635, in the Abigail from London. ROBERT, Weymouth 1638, had Sarah, b. 17 Mar. 1639 and I think Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh, beside possib. others, bef. or aft. rem. He was fin. in 1640, for upbraid. [[340]] James Britain, as a witness, call. him a liar, and said he could prove it, of wh. the charact. of Britain may lead us to think he might be right; rem. to Dorchester, that part wh. bec. in 1662, Milton, for wh. he was rep. 1669, 80 and 1. Sarah, m. Aug. 1660, Peter Warren of Boston. ROBERT, Gloucester, 1651, was rep. 1652, town clk. to 1656; and had w. Elizabeth and Babson, 172, gives ch. Ebenezer, wh. d 1653, Ephraim, b. in 1653, and one with an impossib. name, 1652. I regret to say, that I find little more of him. That he was the same as the Weymouth man was opin. of Babson, to wh. I have strong object. ROGER, Salem d. a. 1661. WILLIAM, prob. of York, d. May 1666, and Nathaniel Fryer was admor. The inv. 22 June was L73. 19s. 6d. and he left a wid. Of this name, in 1834, Farmer notes thirteen had been gr. at Harv. three at Yale, three at other N. E. coll. TUCKERMAN, ABRAHAM, Boston, s. of the first John, m. 15 July 1692, Constance, d. of William Worcester, had no ch. but d. soon, and his wid. m. John Noiles jr. if such be true name, of Newfounaland. JOHN, Boston, by w. Sarah had Elizabeth b. 5 Feb. 1652; John, 8 Oct. 1655; Sarah, 20 Nov. 1657, d. in two wks.; Richard, 27 Nov. 1658; Christian, 8 July 1661; Priscilla, 5 Aug. 1666; Martha, 28 Aug. 1668; Abraham, 3 Dec. 1670; and Isaac, 6 Feb. 1673. JOHN, Boston, eldest s. of the preced. by first w. had. John, and by sec. w. m. 14 Nov. 1693, Susanna, d. of Edmund Chamberlin of Malden, had Sarah, Abraham, Jacob, and Edward. He is ancest. of most of this surname in N. E. NATHANIEL, Ipswich, s. of Otho, by w. Martha, had Nathaniel, b. 9 Sept. 1684; Martha, 27 June 1686; John, and Elizabeth He rem. 1712 to Portsmouth. OTHO, Portsmouth, by w. Emma, had Nathaniel, b. a. 1660; and other ch.; was drown. 24 May 1664. TUCKEY, GEORGE, Windsor 1645, fin. for some idle words to old Mr. Eggleston's w. JOHN, Charlestown, join the ch. 12 Apr. 1650, was a householder in 1658, but I kn. no more. TUDOR, JOHN, Boston by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 12 Feb. 1673; and Thomas, 11 Nov. 1674. The f. of William of Boston, H. C. 1769, a disting. citizen, was also nam. John, but he prob. was not any relat. of the preced. or suceed. but brot. by his m. from Devonsh. as tradit. tells, a. 1715. OWEN, or OWYN, Windsor, 1645, may have been at Dorchester, but no such tradit. exists, nor does any rec. show it; m. 13 Nov. 1651, wid. Mary Skinner, d. prob. of Joseph Loomis of the same, had Samuel, and Sarah, tw. b. 26 Nov. 1652; Owen, 12 Mar. 1655; Jane, 16 Oct. 1657; and Mary, 6 Mar. 1661; all bapt. 12 May foll. and all liv. at his d. 30 Oct. 1690. His w. d. 19 Aug. 1680. He is report. in the freemen's list 1669, had been prob. sev. yrs. was common. thot. to come from Wales, but that may be tradit. as to a progen. or childish [[341]] claim of relationsh. to be possess. of the throne of Gr. Britain. All the ds. we kn. m. viz. Sarah, 1679, to James Porter; Jane, 28 Oct. 1680, to Samuel Smith of Wethersfield; and Mary m. a Judson bef. 1717, perhaps his sec. w. OWEN, Windsor, s. the preced. d. 1717, without w. or ch. and by the court his prop. was distrib. to his br. Samuel, sis. Sarah, heirs of sis. Jane, and to sis. Mary. SAMUEL, Windsor, br. of the first Owen, m. 1685 Abigail, d. I suppose of Samuel Bissell of Windsor, had Abigail, b. 1686; Mary, 1689; Sarah, 1692, prob. d. young; Sarah, again, 1695; Margaret, 1697; and Elizabeth 1700; perhaps ano. ch. bef. Samuel, Y. C. 1728, but the date of his b. I find not. He is absurdly said to have begun the settlem. on E. side of the gr. riv. 1677, when there were dwellers there, 20 yrs. bef. and so much had it gr. that in 1680, petitn. was offered for its incorpo. as separ. town. He d. 6 July 1727. Farmer notes, that in 1834, five of this name had been gr. at Harv. and three at Yale. TUELLS, RICHARD, and THOMAS, were of Gallop's company 1690, but perhaps. were truly Twelves, s. of Robert. TUFTS, JAMES, k. by the Ind. at Bloody brook, 18 Sept. 1675, may have been a soldier of the flower of Essex. JOHN, Hingham, was from Old Hingham, came in the Diligent, 1638 as one of the serv. or apparent. of Thomas Cooper, but no more is kn. of him. JOHN, Malden, freem. 1690, was s. of Peter first of the same, m. Mary Putnam, had Mary, b. 11 Apr. 1688; John, 28 May 1690; Nathaniel, 23 Feb. 1693; Peter, 1696; Benjamin 1699; Thomas; and Stephen; and d. 1728. JOHN, Malden, s. of Peter the sec. was ord. at Newbury, 30 June 1714, m. 9 Nov. foll. Sarah Bradstreet, perhaps d. of John of Topsfield, youngest s. of Gov. Simon, had Mary, b. 4 Sept. 1715; Joshua, 4 Oct. 1716, H. C. 1736 and for sec. w. m. 28 Mar. 1723, Elizabeth Sargent, had John, b. 13 Dec. foll. wh. d. at 20 mos.; Sarah, 21 Apr. 1725; and John, again, 9 Jan. 1727; and I kn. no more. JONATHAN, Malden s. of the first Peter, freem. 1690, by w.

His w. was d. of capt. John Waite, and his will was of 4 Aug. 1718. PETER, Charlestown liv. on Malden side, came a. 1650, with. w. Mary, d. of Elizabeth Pierce and prob. one or two ch. was freem. 1665, at M. had John, b. 7 May 1653; Mary, 19 June 1655; Jonathan, 19 June 1657, d. at one yr.; Jonathan, again, 3 Mar. 1660; John, a. 1665; Mercy; Sarah; Elizabeth 22 Nov. 1672; and perhaps others, besides Peter, wh. I judge was the eldest. He was tythingman of C. 1679, rep. for Medford 1689, and d. 13 May 1700; aged 83, and his wid. d. Jan. 1703. He made a will 1693, with [[342]] codic. 1698, naming as left w. Mary, s. Peter, Jonathan, John, and four m. or wid. ds. Mary m. 15 Oct. 1674 John Edes; Elizabeth m. Joseph Lynde; Mercy m. 24 Dec. 1688, Joseph Wait, and next a Jenkins; and Sarah m. 22 July 1689 Thomas Oakes. The first and third were wid. Peter, Medford, eldest s. of the preced. b. in Eng. 1648, m. 26 Aug. 1670, Elizabeth d. of the sec. Thomas Lynde, and sis. of the h. of his sis. Elizabeth had Ann, b. 25 Feb. 1677; Peter, 27 Jan. 1679; Mary, 30 Jan. 1682; and Thomas, 31 Mar. 1683, H. C. 1708. His w. d. 15 July 1684, and he m. 11 or 16 Dec. 1684, Mary, d. of Rev.

Prudence; was freem. 1679, a capt. and rep. 1689, 90, and d. 20 Sept. 1721. SIMON, Medford, youngest s. of the sec. Peter, was the earliest physician at M. m.

Emma, d. of Samuel Phips of Charlestown, had Catharine, Samuel, Simon, Solomon, David, and Frederic; and d. a. 1737. Farmer says fifteen of this name had been gr. at Harv. 1834, leav. implicat. that none had been at any of the other coll. TULLER, JACOB, Simsbury; youngest s. of John of the same, m. Mary Moses, and I kn. no more. JOHN, Simsbury, m. 1684 Elizabeth wid. of Joseph Lewis, d. of John Case of the same, had Sarah, b. 4 Aug. 1685; William, 10 June 1687; Mary, 27 Nov. 1692; Jacob, 22 May 1694; and Mabel, 22 Feb. 1699; and his w. d. 9 Oct. 1718. He d. 1742. The first two ch. were bapt. at Hartford. At Simsbury he was one of the founders of the ch. 10 Nov. 1697. Sarah m. John Moses jr. Mary m. Samuel Humphrey; and Mable m. Samuel Chidester of Wallingford, as is shown by the patient investigat. of Goodwin. WILLIAM, Simsbury, elder s. of John of the same, m. Damaris Cornish; but no more is told of him exc. that he d. 22 Sept. 1749. TULLY, JOHN, Saybrook, was bapt. at Horley, Co. Surrey, 27 ms. from London, 9 Sept. 1638, and the fam. tradit. proceeds to relate how his mo. brot. him here two or three yrs. at the d. of his f. in 1644, was propound. for freem. 1671, and m. 3 Jan. 1672, Mary, d. of William Beamond, or Beaman, had John, b. 3 Dec. 1672; Sarah, 9 Apr. 1674, [[343]] d. at 18 yrs; William, 5 Jan. 1677; Lydia, 15 Mar. 1679; Mary, 10 Aug. 1681; Deborah, 24 Feb. 1684; Lucy, 22 Mar. 1687, d. at 5 yrs.; and Hepzibah, 22 Dec. 1689. He had some fame as almanac mak. for 20 yrs. and d. 5 Oct. 1701. See Field, Hist. of Middlesex Co. 104; and Geneal. Reg. III. 167, where is much wild legend. The s. John d. at sea; Sarah m. John Smith; and Mary m. Daniel Clark, both of Haddam. WILLIAM, Saybrook, s. of the preced. a shoemaker, m. it is said, Abigail Maverick of Boston, with equal prob. and precis. d. of a min. wh. left Eng. in the time of persecut. had John, b. 18 Mar. 1702; Margaret, 28 May 1701; Abigail, 5 July 1707; Wiliiam, 13 June 1709; Lydia, 24 July 1711; Elias, 17 Jan. 1714; Sarah, 6 Jan. 1716; Mary, 30 Mar. 1718, d. at 21 yrs.; Samuel, 29 Apr. 1721, d. at 28 yrs.; and Daniel, 24 July 1723, d. young; and the f. d. July 1744. The wid. d. 9 Dec. 1750 in her 76th yr. TUPPER, ELISHA, soldier, 1690, in Gallop's abortive serv. against Quebec to please Sir William Phips, may have been s. of sec. Thomas. THOMAS, Lynn, rem. with many others of that town to Sandwich 1637, was rep. 1646, and 16 yrs. aft. d. 28 Mar. 1676, aged 97 yrs. and 2 mos. and his w. d. 4 June aft. in her 90th yr. says Col. Rec. THOMAS, Sandwich, s. of the preced. the town clk. wh. certif. the rec. of his parents' age, had Eldad b. 31 May 1675; was rep. 1679, and the first from that place under the new chart. 1692. He had been much engag. in preach. to the Ind. and in the Magnalia, VI. 61, we find he had 180 hearers. TURBAT, or TUEBUTT, PETER, in the list of those, sw. to alleg. at Wells, 5 July 1653, constable 1661, had w. Sarah, ch. John, Peter, and Elizabeth His inv. was of L61, present. 14 Oct. 1669. But this name means Talbot, I think. TURBEFIEELD, HENRY, Weymouth, had Ann, b. 8 Sept. 1673. I have some doubt of the name. TURELL, COLBURN, Boston, s. of capt. Daniel, was one of the volunteers wh. set forth, in Oct. 1689, on the sucessful expedit. under Colon. author. to capt. a pirate vessel in Vineyard Sound. See Geneal. Reg. II. 393. DANIEL, Boston, blacksmith, ar. co. 1656, came from Instow on the N. coast of Devonsh. mid way from Barnstable to Bideford, and by his first w. Lyaia, perhaps d. of Robert Blott, wh. join. our ch. 29 Aug. 1647, he had Daniel, b. 16 Aug. 1646; John, bapt. 4 Mar. 1649, a. 6 days old; Joseph, 27 Dec. 1653, d. in few mos.; Joseph, again, 25 Mar. 1655; prob. Ann, 20 Aug. 1657, wh. in the substit. rec. is assign. to Samuel, as in Geneal. Reg. X. 70; and Samuel, 14 June 1659. She d. 23 June 1659, and he m. at Roxbury, 10 Nov. 1659, Mary Barrell, wid. of John, and d. of Elder William Colbron, had Lydia, 30 Nov. [[344]] 1660; Colburn, 4 Dec. 1662; Sarah and Elizabeth tw. 14 Oct. 1663; and Benjamin, 24 June 1665; was a freem. 1669, capt. 1683 aft. fill. the lower ranks, and d. July 1693, was bur. says Sewall' s Diary on 24. DANIEL, Boston, s. of the preced. blacksmith, ar. co. 1674, was adm. of 2d or Mather's ch. 7 Sept. 1672, but why neither he nor any other of the name exc. his f. took the freeman's oath at any time is uncert.

JOHN, Ipswich, s. perhaps of the first Simon, m. 3 Dec. 1689, Martha Ward, perhaps. sis. of Samuel, had Martha, b. 1690; and Mary, 7 July 1696; and he d. 26 Feb. 1716. JOHN, Boston, freem. 1690. JONATHAN, New Haven, s. of William, was in the freemen's list 1669, by w. Rebecca, d. of Francis Bell of Stamford, had Rebecca, b. 10 Sept. 1664; Mary, 7 Feb. 1666; David, 14 Nov. 1668 tho. this is manifest. wrong, for next comes, in less than five mos. Jonathan, 6 Apr. 1669; and David on the same 14 Nov. 1668, is, by the same author, giv. to John; Simon, 11 Mar. 1671; William, 25 May 1673; and Nathaniel, 25 Feb. 1676. His w. d. 2 May 1676. He was propr. 1685. JONATHAN, Boston, freem. 1690. JOSEPH, New Haven, s. of William, propound. for freem. 1669, m. 2 May 1667, Hannah, d. of Thomas Munson, had Joseph, b. 18 Mar. 1668; Samuel, 1 July 1670; Stephen, 20 May 1673; Joanna, 13 Dec. 1675; Timothy, 30 Sept. 1678, d. soon; Susanna, 20 Feb. 1680, d. young; Elizabeth 12 July 1683; and Hannah, May 1685 wh. may have d. soon; and ano. Hannah came in her place. He d. 1690, aged, says Dodd, 62, when he could be only 50, if the s. o William. His wid. m. 1694; Nathan Bradley, and d. next yr. He was prop. 1685. JOSHUA, Southold, L. I. s. of the first John of the same, had Joshua. NATHANIEL, New Haven, s. of William, propr. 1685, may have been some yrs. at Woodbury, there had Mary, bapt. May 1683; Ephraim; Hezekiah; Isaac, b. 3 Feb. 1698; Temperance and Ann; d. 20 Aug. leav. w. Sarah, and nam. in his will all those ch. exc. the first, wh. was, perhaps d. At New Haven the rec. names Ephraim, b. 20 July 1683, and Temperance, 24 Nov. 1684; and first rec. the m. 10 Apr. as one reads or ano. Aug. 1682, with Sarah Howe, eldest d. of Ephraim. So that the order of ch. taken above from Cothren must be incorrect, and possib. one of the names. RICHARD, Boston, came in the Planter, from London 1635, aged 42, call. husbandman; [[352]] with Isabel, 70, perhaps his mo.; w. Ann, 41; ch. Ann, 12; John, 10; and Rebecca, 6; he with his w. join. our ch. 27 Dec aft. arr. was adm. freem. 3 Mar. foll. and 8 May 1640. Perhaps his d. Ann m. John Pantry of Hartford, and next, 23 June 1654, Thomas Welles of H. SAMUEL, New Haven, a propr. 1685, was s. of John, and gr.s. William but no more is kn. to me, exc. that he m.

SIMON, New Haven, had Daniel, b. 11 Nov. 1680; Jonathan, had in 1670 engag. to rem. to Wallingford, certain. did not long contin. there. SIMON, Ipswich, s. of Simon of the same, m. 16 Jan. or one acco. says June 1696, Mary, d. of Samnel Rogers, had Sarah b. 11 Oct. 1697; Margaret, 24 Aug. 1699; and Elizabeth 26 Sept. 1700. THOMAS, New Haven, s. of William, not the babe he brot. in 1635, with him, unless we reject (as I am very ready to do) the numeration of yrs. at his d. giv. by Dodd; was freem. bef. 1669, propr. 1685, m. 21 May 1661, Hannah, eldest d. of Thomas Powell; had Hannah, b. 24 Feb. 1662; Abgail 17 Jan. 1664; Mary, 14 Jan. 1666; Thomas, 27 Oct. 1667; John, 5 Dec. 1669; Esther, 9 Apr. 1672; Caleb, 29 Aug. 1674; Joshua, 19 Dec. 1676; and Martha, 23 May 1679. His w. d. 15 Oct. 1710; and d. four days aft. aged 68, says Dodd, prob. foll. the gr.st. inscript. too little by seven yrs. WILLIAM, Boston, came in the Planter 1635, aged 26, with w. Elizabeth 23; ch. John 3 1/2; Ann, 2 1/4; and Thomas, 3 mos. He is, by tradit. said to have come from Co. Northampton. His w. join. our ch. 24 July 1636, and brot. to be bapt.

Soon aft. he rem. to New Haven, there became a man of conseq. had Joseph, bapt. 22 Nov. 1640; Sarah, Apr. 1642; Elizabeth 9 Nov. 1645; Simon, 28 Mar. 1647; Benjamin, 29 Oct. 1648; Mercy, b. 27 Apr. bapt. 19 May 1650; and Nathaniel, 24, bapt. 29 Feb. 1652. His est. was giv. to be admin. June 1673, all the ch. liv. and the w. d. 30 Dec. 1684. Of the ds. Sarah m. 12 Nov. 1663, John Slawson; Mercy m. 2 May 1667, Samuel Brown; Elizabeth m. 19 Nov. foll. Richard Edwards. Farmer numbers the gr. in 1834, as six at Yale, four at Harv. and two at other N. E. coll. [[353]] TWELVES, TUELLS, or TWELLS, ROBERT, Braintree, was one of the petitnrs. for gr. of what did not belong to our governm. honestly to give (the region possess. by Gorton and his fellow misbelievers) in Oct. 1645, m. 22 or 23 Nov. 1655, Martha, d. of Peter Brackett, had Mary, b. 8 July 1656; Martha, 17 Dec. 1657, or 19 Dec. 1658, as in Geneal. Reg. XII. 350, d. soon; Richard, 16 May 1660, the rec. in Boston, but by ano. rec. Martha, again, 16 June 1660; Rachel, 8 May 1662; Peter, 10 Oct. 1666; Sarah, bapt. 29 May 1670; John, 14 July 1672; but these two were at the third ch. in Boston; Hannah, 21 Sept. 1673; Abigail, 27 or 28, bapt. 29 July 1677; was freem. 1663, and caught from his f.-in-law the milit. distinct. ens. 1671, lieut. in 1684, d. 2 Mar. 1691, aged (tho. gr.st. says eighty yrs.) a. 77 yrs. old. Mary m. 4 Nov. 1676, Ebenezer Tyng; Rachel m. 25 Sept. 1689, William French, and d. soon; and Abigail m. 12 June 1704, Shubael Seaver of Roxbury. His will of 18 Mar. 1697, pro. 6 May foll. shows that Mary had ano. h. one Clarke, and that three then unm. ds. were Hannah, Sarah, and Abigail. Of this name Mr. Secr. Increase Nowell, in the Col. rec. Vol. II. 128, made the ingenious, or ridiculous, perversion Quelves. TWIDE, WILLIAM, is the same giv. to a passeng. in the Arabella, 1671, from London, for N. E. but he was not long liv. here unless he changed it. TWINING, STEPHEN, Eastham, s. of William the sec. m. 3 Jan. 1683, Abigail, d. of John Young of the same, had Stephen, b. 30 Dec. 1684; Eleazer, 26 Nov. 1686; Nathaniel, 27 Mar. 1689; Mercy, 8 Sept. 1690; and John, 5 Mar. 1693. WILLIAM, Yarmouth 1643, rem. early to Eastham, had perhaps, by w. Ann, William, prob. b. in Eng. and Elizabeth and Ann, prob. here. He d. 15 Apr. 1659, and Ann, w. of William sen. d. 27 Feb. 1681, but possib. this may not have been the w. wh. bore the sec. William, but this sec. w. Elizabeth m. 19 Aug. 1669, John Rogers; and Ann, m. 3 Oct. 1672, Thomas Bills. WILLIAM, Eastham, s. of the preced. prob. b. in Eng. m.

TWISDWDEN, TWISDALE, or TWISDALL, JOHN, York 1648, had been of Scituate in 1639, and came from Co. Kent, was of gr. jury 1649, prob. had John, for in Nov. 1652, John sen. and jr. submit. to Mass. and SAMUEL is found in 1656. His d. Alice or Elizabeth m. 20 Nov. 1649, Joseph [[354]] Tilden of Scituate. Both John and Samuel, wh. were prob. s. of the first John, sw. alleg. to Charles II. Mar. 1681. TWITCHELL, TUCHILL, or TWITCHWELL, BENJAMIN, Dorchester, was prob. of Medfield 1663, witwh w. Mary and sev. ch. of wh. Joseph, and Benjamin, to wh. wee can affix no dates of b. may have been, beside Mary, b. 8 Mar. 1659; Hannah; Bethia; Abiel, 1 Nov. 1663; were part; but no more is with precis. relat. exc. he was among grantees of Lancaster 1654. BENJAMIN, Medfield, s. of the preced. m. 5 Apr. 1685, Mary White, perhaps as sec. w. had some yrs. dwelt at Sherborn, and theree had Beenjamin, b. 15 Sep;t. 1684; John, 4 Jan. 1688; Ebenezer, 10 Dec. 1691; Mary, 28 aug. 1694; and Abigail, 5 June 1699. FRANCIS, Dorchester 1633, is by Dr. Harris call. Tuthill, in the easy mistake of a single letter, the c in engrossing hand frequent. (as scores of errors result. demostr.) resembles t. JOSEPH, Dorchester 1633, perhaps br. of the preced. freem. 14 May 1643, was there liv. 1656, had Joseph, wh. d. 13 Sept. 1651. The last form of spell. prevails in the Col. rec. the first is now common, and the Dorchester rec. obey. the sound. TWOMBLY, or TWAMBLY, JOHN, Dover, eldest s. of Ralph of the same, m. 18 Apr. 1687, Mary Kenny, and in his will of 18 July 1724, names sec. w. Rachel; but our informat. does not extend to tell of wh. th ch. were b. tho. there were nam. by the will eno. for both, five s. and five ds. the priority or order of b. being inscrut. John, Joseph, Samuel, wh. alone, enjoys a date, b. 10 Mar. 1699, Benjamin, William, Sarah, Mary, RAchel, Esther, and Hannah. NATHANIEL, Doveer 1658, is only nam. as bound hhis land. RALPH, Dover 1656, had w. Elizabeth and ch. as by will of 28 Feb. 1685, pro. 7 Oct. 1686, we learn, John, Ralph, Joseph, wh. was b. 1661, Mary, Elizabeth Hope, Sarah, Esther, and William. RALPH, Dover, s. of the preced. had Ralph, perhaps more. TYBBOT, WALTER, Gloucester. See Tibbets. TYDD. See Tead. TYLEY, or TYLEE, THOMAS, Boston, a waterman in 1664, sold est. to Henry Kemble. TYLER, ABRAHAM, Haverhill 1640, m. 26 Dec. 12650, Hannah Freeman, had Abraham, b. 4 June of unkn. yr. d. at 2 yrs.; Hannah, 16 Dec. 1655, d. at 6 yrs.; Abraham, again, 21 May 1659, d. at 9 yrs.; and the f. d. 6 May 1673. FRANCIS, Branford 1667, drew a lot there in 1679, and had Abigail, b. 1681, but no more is kn. of him. GEORGE, Branford 1674, by w. Hannah, had Isaac, b. 1680; Ann, 20 June 1682; Samuel, 25 Feb. 1687; Hannah, 1692; ;and by sec. w. Mary had liz. 1694; John, 1696; Roger, 1698; Deborah, 1700; and Ebenezer, 1703. HOPE, Mendon 1662, prob. eldest s. of Job, freem. [[355]] 1673, driv. by the Ind. from M. had at Roxbury, Matthew, bapt. 9 Apr. 1676; John, b. 19 Feb. 1678; rem. to Andover (where Hopestill perhaps his s. was adm. to be freem. 1691), and there had Joanna, 21 Nov. 1681; and James 8 Dec. 1683; and, as is said, sev. more. His w. Mary and two ds. were charg. with witchcraft, and imprison. at Salem, but happi. not being tr. bef. the smoke of the bottomless pit that affect. a jury much, and judges more, had begun to diperse (even aft. confess, by the w. and one of her ds. overcome by urgent appeals of friends), were aquit. 6 and 7 Jan. 1693. In 1697 he sold his est. at A. and prob. rem. JOB, Andover, may have had ch. bef. that town was sett. as Hope or Moses, and Dr. Stiles found his name, tho. I doubt a mistake in his vision, on the roll of adm. at Aquedneck, or Portsmouth, R. I. 1639. Certain. at Providence was early a wid. Joan T. had sh. in div. of lots in 1638, at that point call. Tockwotton, and she is nam. again in 1640. Possib. she was mo. of Job, who was b. a. 1619. By w. Mary, those may have been b. to him, as certain. were Mary, a. 1643; John, wh. d. 28 Sept. 1652; John, again, b. 6 Apr. 1653; and Samuel, 24 May 1655; in 1665 he was at Roxbury, and his w. join. the ch. 28 May of that yr. and next Sunday had John and Samuel bapt. there. In 1669 he rem. to Mendon, thence driv. by the Ind. he ret. to R. but bef. 1681, was in Rowley, the part now Boxford, and next at A. where after d. of his w. prob. in 1700, he divid. his est. to s.

JOHN, Andover, s. of Job, m. 14 Sept. 1682, Hannah Parker, perhaps d. of Nathan, had Nathan, and perhaps others; was freem. 1691; rem. to Mendon, where was deac. and d. 4 May 1742. JOHN, Wallingford, s. of William of Milford. MOSES, Rowley, s. of Job, m. at Andover, 6 July 1666, Prudence, d. of George Blake, liv. in that pt. now Boxford, had John, b. 14 Sept. 1667, wh. was a sh.master, and d. 13 Jan. 1756; Moses; Joseph; Ebenezer; Job; Jonathan; Joshua; James, 7 Dec. 1685; and two other s. 10 in all by this w. wh. d. 19 Mar. 1689; and by a sec. w. Sarah, had ano. s. and five ds. Joanna, Abigail, Martha, Catharine, and Sarah. Of these sixteen ch. all but Joseph, and two other s. without names, liv. to mature yrs. He was quarter-master by com. title, rem. to Andover a. 1700, and there d. 2 Oct. 1727, aged 85 or 6. His will is in Geneal. Reg. XII. 319. Eight s. three ds. and childr. of two ds. dec. had sharees in his est. either by advancem. or testam. NATHANIEL, Lynn 1640, by w. Jane had Joseph, and in Oct. 1652, mak. his will as he purpos. going on a voyage on the sh. "N. E. merch." he would that his s. wh. liv. at Shrwsbury in Co. Salop, should have £50. PETER, Branford 1668, perhaps br. of Francis, [[356]] or George, or of both, propund. for freem. 1672, m. 20 Nov. 1671, Deborah, d. of Daniel Swain, had Peter, b. 20 Jan. 1673; John, 20 Nov. 1674; Deborah, 15 Mar. 1677; Dorcas, 3 May 1678; Hannah, 10 Feb. 1682; Ebenezer, 9 May 1684; and by sec. w. Hannah Whitehead, had Patieence, 25 Sept. 1689; Joseph, 25 Apr. 1691; and Hannah, 8 May 169 ; but the last fig. is uncert. as is the date of his d. ROGER, New Haven, had been prob. in Mass. 1650, and d. at N. H. where his inv. was giv. 7 Feb. 1674. Perehaps he had liv. at Wallingford, where was ano. Roger, prob. his s. SAMUEL, Mendon, br. of Moses, by w. Hannah had two s. Ebenzer and Samuel, three ds. and d. 17 Dec. 1695. His wid. admin. 9 Apr. foll. THOMAS, Boston, by w. Hannah had Samuel, b. 1 May 1657; Mary, 10 Apr. 1660. Thomas, Boston, came from Budleigh in Co. Devon, m. Miriam, d. of Pilgrim Simpkins, had Thomas, b. 15 Aug. 1685; William, 15 Mar. 1687; Andrewm 1692; John, 1695; and Miriam, 22 Feb. 1698, but his last at Weymouth, where, being a sea-capt. he may have been engag. in build. a vessel. His last voyage was in 1703, when he was tak. by a Barbary corsair, and no moree heard of. Perhaps he was k. at the capt. but a fa. tradit. is ment. that he d. at sea. His w. took admin. 12 May 1704. THOMAS, Derby, s. of William of Milford, d. 1704, without fam. and his est. went to his brs. William and John, sis. Mary Palmer, Elizabeth Palmer, Abigail Rundell, and Hannah Tyler. There is a tradit. prob. of no value, that this Thomas was lost in the same way, 1695, as his f. of course when he was 10 yrs. old. WILLIAM, New Haven, took o. of fidel. 7 Apr. 1657, rem. to Milford, m. Abigail, d. of Roger Terrill, had Elizabeth b. 1663; Abigail, 1664; William, 1665; John, 1667; all bapt. Spt. 1669; Mary and Thomas, tw. bapt. Feeb. 1670, of wh. Thomas d. soon; Hannah, bapt. 1670; Tirzah, 1671, d. soon; Ephraim, 1676; and Ruth, 1678. But on the prob. rec. some discrepancy of names is seen, when the inv. is brot. in, as the oldest ch. appears, Mary, 32 yrs.; EElizabeth Palmere, 29; Abigail Rundle, 28; William, 27; John, 25; Sarah (perhaps the tw. call Mary), 21; Hannah, 20; and Thomas (wh. perhaps was first call. Ephraim), 18. His s. William liv. some time at Derby, but reem. to Wallingford. WILLIAM, Boston, s. of Thomas of the same, m. Sarah, d. of Joseph Royal of the same, had four s. Thomas, H. C. 1730; William, H. C. 1733; Royal, H. C. 1743; and Joseeph; beside d. Sarah. For this name, of wh. Farmer found the gr. in 1834, to be ten at Harv. eight at Yale, and eight at the other N. E. coll. oft. is found mistake of Tyley, or even Tilley. TYNG, EDWARD, Boston, merch. but early wrote hims. brewer, came prob. with w. Mary, whose fam. name was Sears, as tradit. tells; if so, he had been, I think, here bef. m. her, a. 1636, and went home to find [[357]] a w. She join. our ch. 5 Sept. 1640, and hee join. 30 Jan. foll. was freem. 2 Junee foll. ar. do. 1642, and constable the same yr. rep. 1661 and 2, assist. 1668 to 80 inclus. and d. at Dunstable, 28 Dec. 1681, one acco. says ageed 81, but the creedit is less, inasmuch as the same marks the day 28 Sept. as in Geneeal. Reg. VIII. 19, and I concur with Farmer MS. wh. thinks more prob. the age 71. By w. Mary, by some thot. his sec. wh. may be doubt. he had Hannah, b. 7 Mar. 1640, bapt. 6 Seept. foll.; Mary, 17 Apr. bapt 2 May 1641, perehaps d. young; Jonathan 15, bapt. 18 Dec. 1642; Deliverance, 6 Aug. says the town rec. wh. is fasif. by the ch. rec. bapt. 13 July 1645; Rebecca, 23 Mar. tho. the trustworthy ch. rec. gives bapt. 21, 1647, d. young; Edward; Rebecca, again, 13 July 1651; William, 3 Mar. 1653, prob. d. young; Eunice, 8 Mar. 1655; and Joseeph, 12 July 1657, wh d. young; Hannah, m. 8 May 1661, Habijah Savage; and next maj.-gen.

EDWARD, Boston, s. of the precded. ar. co. 1668, m. Elizabeth d. of capt. THaddeeus Claark of FAlmouth, wh. was bur. as Sewall's Diary nots 4 July 1690. This gave him great inteereest in thee qustion of jurisdict. and land titles in Maine. He had Edward, b. 1683; Jonathan, d. young; Mary; and Elizabeth; was onee of the council 1686, 7 not much in favor with Andros; after conq. of Nova Scotia, he was made Gov. of Annapolis, and on the voyage to his conlony was tak. by the French, and d. in France. Admin. was had by his br. Jonathan, Apr. 1701. JONATHAN, Dunstable, eldest s. of Edward the first, m.

He rem. to Woburn, m. next, 30 May 1706, Sarah, wid. of Humphrey Davie, wh. had been wid. of James Richards of Hartford, and d. of William Gibbons of H.; she d. 8 Feb. 1714; and for third w. he had Judith, wid. of Rev.

He was of the Royal Council 1686, and 7, but did not partake in the princip. of Andros, was rep. 1692 under the new chart. and d. 19 Jan. 1724. WILLIAM, Boston, elder br. of Edward the first, a merch. of distinct. came prob. in the Nicholas, of 300 tons, charter. by hims. at [[358]] London, arr. at Boston, 3 July 1638, as Josselyn, wh. was a passeng. tells in his curious vol. of Voyages.

Stuyvesant of New York was invok. and found effectual. No doubt the precious case report. in the Magnalia VI. cap. 7, as the first instance or example of suffer. by Ann Cole, and her obtain. relief by the flight of some, and the execut. of one poor woman, so torment. by the charges and proofs against her, that she confess. as Mather exults to tell, "that the Devil had frequently carnal knowledge of her," naturally led to freq. recur. of such accusat. Her power of facination was in happier hour suffic. to ensnare her m. with Nicholas Bayard, one of the patrician fam. of the neighbor. province. VARNEY, EBENEZER, Dover, s. of Humphrey of the same, m. that Mary, d. of Stephen Otis, wh. had been tak. by the Ind. 1689, had Mary, b. 6 June 1693; Sarah, 10 Nov. 1695; Steephen, 7 Nov. 1697; Abigail, 11 Apr. 1699; John, 15 Jan. 1702; Ebenezr, 21 May 1704; Nathaniel, 17 Mar. 1706; Thomas, 7 Apr. 1708; Judith, 11 Apr. 1710; Samuel, 2 Apr. 1712; Martha, 18 Mar. 1714; and Ann, 6 July 1718.

Hannah had Abraham, b. 28 Oct. 1659, d. at 5 mos.; Hannah, 22 May 1661; Thomas, 19 Nov. 1662. In 1683 he was 64 yrs. old. VASSALL, JOHN, Scituate, s. of William, brot. by his f. at the age of 10 in the Blessing 1635, from London, was a lieut. 1652, afterwards a capt. in 1661 sold his est. and went to Jamaica, but in few yrs. was engag. in the settlem. at Cape Fear in N. C. and in 1667 applied for relief here to be sent to hims. and followers. WILLIAM, one of the Assist. of the Gov. and Comp. of the Mass. Bay, nam. in the first Charter by K. Charles, Mar. 1629, of wh. Cradock was first Gov. came next yr. in the fleet with the next Gov. Winthrop but went home in the Lion, the first mo. aft. reach. this shore; came again 1635, in the Blessing, then aged 42, with w. Ann, 42, and ch. Judith, 16; Frances, 12; John, 10; Ann, 6; Margaret, 2; and Mary 1. He sat down only short time at Roxbury, and soon fixed at Scituate, in ano. juridict. and join the ch. of John Lothrop, 28 Nov. 1636. He seems to have differ. from Mass. policy, especially after the triump of the latitudinarians at home, wh. desired freedom of worship; but as he could not bring many to his opinions, went home again in the sh. with Child, Fowle, and perhaps others discontent. as hims. rem. to Barbadoes, there d. bef. 1655. He was s. of JOhn, alderman of London, wh. had gain. high reput. for exertions in organiz. resist. to the Spanish Armada, 1588. Mortifying is the ignorance that represents this fam. as coming in the reign of James and Charles I. and that Miss Thomas copied such authority is to be refer. to the opposite of a common error, that unduly magnifies ancient renown. Judith had m. 8 Apr. 1640, Resolved White; Frances n. 16 July 1646, James Adams; and one of the other ds. it is said m. Nicholas Ware in Virginia, wh. was Excor. of his will at Barbadoes. To the w. of Adams, as d. of William Vassall, one of the patentees wh. prob. had rec. nothing for his money advanc. in the first coloniz. our Gen. Ct. 1672, made gr. of 150 acres. His br. Samuel, ano. patentee of Mass. and Assist. nam. by the king in the Charter, was too rich, and much absorb. in the line of his traffic at London, to come to the ld. of the Pilgrims. Seven of this name had been gr. at Harv. 1771. We owe much to Harris's Cambridge Epit. 180, for acco. of the memb. of this honor. fam. in the mid. of last century; Lewis, H. C. 1728; John, H. C. 1732; and William, H. C. 1733; all s. he says, of Leonard; to all of wh. the Catal. of the Univ. gives dates of d. but much more glad. would I hear of Samuel, H. C. 1695, of wh. there can be no doubt, from his positon at the head of the class, that he was of the same stock. [[368]] VAUGHN, VAHAN, or VAHEN, DANIEL, Newport, s. of John, m. 27 Mar. 1678, Susanna, d. of Samuel Grimes of Plymouth, had John, b. 14 Sept. 1679; Ann, 6 Apr. 1683; Daniel, 17 Mar. 1685; David, 13 Feb. 1687; and Samuel, 17 June 1690. GEORGE, Portsmouth, 1631, sent by Mason the patentee, arr. prob. in Sept. of that yr. and left the country Aug. 1634, for home, whence it is not thot. he ever ret. again.

GEORGE, Hull 1650, had been of Marblehead, as early as 1637, m. Rebecca, d. of David Phippeny, and perpet, the name, was in capt. Johnson's comp. in Philip's war. ISAAC, Hull, perhaps s. of the preced. was frem. 1680. ISRAEL, Hull 1675, perhaps br. of the preced. JONATHAN, Hull, perhaps br. of the preced. freem. 1678. ROGER, Scarborough, wh. with others sign. the declarat. 4 July 1663, of loyalty to the k. yet wish. not to quarrel with Mass. SETH, by Farmer made freem. at Hull 1680, is a mistake. VIGERS, or VIGARS, THOMAS, Hartford, limeburner, call. 35 yrs. old in 1685. Perhaps he was Dutch, and the name may be the same as Vicars. VINAL, JOHN and STEPHEN, Scituate 1640-1668, were perhaps ch. of Ann, wh. d. 6 Oct. 1664. Mary, prob. her d. m. Apr. 1646, Isaac Chittenden of Scituate. Of John, the gr.st. tells, that he d. 21 Aug. 1698, aged 62; but no more is heard of him, exc. that he m. 1664, Elizabeth d. of Rev. Nicholas Baker.

HUMPHREY, Cambridge 1634, rem. to Ipswich bef. 1638, when he had gr. of ld. d. 3 Dec. 1664, seems, by his will, to have left no fam. nor much est. * JOHN, Lynn, rem. to Sandwich at its early settlem. was liv. there 1663, rep in 1639 and six yrs. aft. JOHN, New Haven 1639, had Hannah, bapt. 28 Mar. 1647; and John, 8 Oct. 1648; d. 1659, leav. w. Rebecca wh. d. 1679, in her will of 23 Jan. 1677, gives to childr. of d. Hannah, w. of Ebenezer Brown, all her est. so that we may conclude that John d. young. NICHOLAS, Manchester 1679, was b. a. 1612.

Aug. 1629, and aft. the d. of his w. next yr. went upon travels in various and distant countries, visit. Guiana, but came to N. E. when the Pequot war had begun, seems to have partaken in active serv. and aft. its terminat. went home, and publ. at London 1638, "The true relat. of the late battle fought in N. E. betw. the Eng. [[374]] and the Pequot salvages" of wh. reprint. may be seen in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 29. Biogr. notice of him, writ. with admir. felicity of research, by Rev. Joseph Hunter, is giv. in 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 86. WILLIAM, Salem, with w. whose name is not found, join. the ch. 1650, but as Felt I. 176 makes him to be a freem. aft. 1635, I cannot doubt that the sound and spelling Vincen, justify my calling him Vinson, as below. But the adm. as freem. was on 10 May 1643. WILLIAM, New London, had prob. liv. at Gloucester, there m. Rachel, d. of William Varney; did not improve the grant made him at N. L. in 1651, but was of Providence in May 1666, when he engag. his alleg. to Charles II. and m. 31 May 1670, Priscilla, d. of William Carpenter, perhaps as sec. w. and by a former one may have had Joanna wh. m. John Sheldon. It hardly seems possib. however, with every readiness to acknowl. the migrat. habits of our people, even in the earliest days, to admit this man to be the same as preced. VINE, WILLIAM, Charlestown, by w. Elizabeth d. of Richard Harrington, m. 15 Oct. 1674, wh. join. the ch. 10 June 1677, had Elizabeth bapt. that day; and William, 19 June 1681. VINES, RICHARD, Saco, had, in explorat. for Sir Ferdinando Gorges, very early visit. our coast. Belkn. thinks bef. 1615, but prob. made no perman. settlem. bef. 1636, tho. his name is forged as a witness to the deed of 17 May 1629, pretend. to be made by sev. Ind. chiefs to Rev. John Wheelwright, when he was in Eng. and Vines may well be thot. to be there too. He was much esteem. in the Col. and dept.-gov. in 1644; one of the very earliest travel. to the White mountains, wh. he visit. in the last week of Aug. 1642, was by the people chos. dept. gov. "for our peace and safety" in Oct. 1645, and rem. to Barbadoes in 1646. WILLIAM, Charlestown 1677. VINING, BENJAMIN, Salem, s. of William of Portsmouth, was collector of the port, but rem. to Salem, N. J. there d. 5 Sept. 1735, leav. s.

Jane m. 1694, Jacob Turner; and next 1729, Samuel Allen. JOHN, Weymouth, s. prob. of the preced. by w. Naomi, had John, b. 17 Jan. 1688; and Mary, 25 Mar. 1690. WILLIAM, Portsmouth, had Benjamin, b. a. 1683. VINSON, JOHN, Weymouth, by w. Sarah, had John, b. 28 July 1675; Ebenezer, 26 Mar. 1684; John, 8 Nov. 1697; and Thomas, 20 Aug. 1699, perhaps more. Nicholas, in Farmer's MS is call. of Mass. but no [[375]] more is ment. except that he was b. 1624. THOMAS, Martha's Vineyard, acc. incoher. tradit. was one of the first four sett. there, but I doubt the whole story. WILLIAM, Gloucester, freem. 10 May 1643, by w. Sarah, wh. d. 4 Feb. 1660, had Sarah; and Hannah, both bef. he was at G.; Elizabeth b. 16 May, 1644; John, 15 May 1648; William, 1651, wh. d. 9 Dec. 1675; and Richard 1658, wh. d. young; was selectman 1646; but rem. some yrs. later to New London. He m. sec. w. 10 June 1661, Rachel Cooke, had Thomas, b. 1 Apr. 1662, wh. d. at 14 yrs.; and Abigail, 1668; d. 17 Sept. 1690, and his wid. d. 15 Feb. 1707. Sarah m. 11 Nov. 1657, Jeffery Parsons; and Hannah m. 8 Oct. 1664, William Ellery. Perhaps this name is often Vincent. VINTON, BLAISE, Lynn, or Malden, youngest s. of John the first, was on serv. in Philip's war 1675 and 6, but aft. very diligent search, the scrupul. author of the Vinton Memo. could say no more of him; yet he makes Lydia, d. of the sec. John Hayden m. a Vinton, and as the only elder brs. John and William he supplied with wives of other names, my conject. may be indulg. that this Blaise got that Lydia, tho. no ch. is kn. EDWARD, Marblehead, d. 1678. JOHN, Lynn, by w. Ann had Eleanor b. May 1648; John, 2 Mar. 1651; William, 30 Apr. 1652; Blaise, 22 Apr. 1654; Ann, 4 Apr. 1656; Elizabeth Jan. 1658; and Sarah 16 Sept. 1662.

He was blacksmith, rem. to Woburn, and d. 13 Nov. 1727. His wid. Hannah d. 1741, aged 82. WILLIAM, Malden, s. of John the first, m. a d. of Joseph Hills, perhaps Hannah, had Hannah, nam. in the will of her gr.f. 1687. This fam. is reasonab. thot. to have come from France, perhaps as Huguenots, in early days, and sett. in Eng. VOXEN, ROBERT, Eastham, had Jemineth, a d. b. 30 Aug. 1655; Titus, 2 Sec. 1657; Elizabeth 29 May 1660. VOBEZ. See Fobes. VODEN, VOEDEN, VORDEN or VOUDEN, JOHN, Salem, came from the Isle of Jersey, m. 2 Dec. 1669, a Waters, perhaps d. of Richard (but so perversely spell. is the bapt. name in the rec.

VORE, or VOAR, RICHARD, Windsor, bef. 1640, had been at Dorchester 1635, where he came, perhaps with Warham, in 1630, brot. from Eng. a fam. tho. neighter their number, nor the ship, nor yr. in wh. they came, is kn. but of four ds. m. at W. two and prob. three at W. must have been b. bef. he arr.

He d. 22 Nov. 1683, hav. been in 1660, excus. from watch and ward, was in the freemen's list 1669; and his wid. d. 15 days aft. him. This name was mistak. by Dr. Harris as Vose. VOSE, EBENEZER, Dorchester, d. 1716, aged 80, says Milton rec. but a doubt arises, whether the name be not mistak. for Edward. EDWARD, Milton, s. of Robert, by w.

Maddocks or Mattocks, and wh. is better spelling, I dare not undertake to decide, without personal inspect. of the initial letter in the orig. When Paige and Shurtleff agree in read. ancient record, it may be safe eno. to follow. The strangeness of such a name might decide it adversely to the W. but the diligence of Folsom, in his admir. hist. of Saco, 124, shows that the exact turth of the patronymic is Warwick. See that. WADE, HENRY, Hingham 1652. * JONATHAN, Ipswich, had come in 1632, in the Lion, arr. 16 Sept. perhaps with w.

His will pro. 8 July 1686, by Presid. Dudley in Boston, had been made in London so long bef. as 17 June 1657, and was witness. by Sir William Peake, and Samuel Sedgwick, whose hands were sw. to by John Richards, correspond. of Sir Williams, and by a correspond. of Sedgwick, and also his wid. It provides for w. Susanna, and the childr. but names only the eldest Jonathan, to wh. he gives all his ld. in parish of Denver, Co. Norfolk, on W. side, one mile from Downham market. We may then infer, that was his native place. The d. Mary m. William Symonds; Sarah m. 13 Nov. 1661.

[[379]] by the Ind. 22 Feb. 1698, if we trust the town rec. or 24th if we take Sewall's Diary, yet perhaps the latter was the date of the news coming to him. THOMAS, Ipswich, s. prob. youngest, of Jonathan the first, m. 22 Feb. 1670, Elizabeth Cogswell, d. perhaps of William, had Jonathan; Thomas; John, H. C. 1693, min of Berwick; Nathaniel; and William, wh. was k. at sea, 3 Apr. 1697; beside four others; was freem. 1682, capt. and an active citizen, and d. 4 Oct. 1696, leav. wid. and nine ch.

ROBERT, Wells, br. of John, own. alleg. to Mass. 1653, town clk. 1659, there was liv. 1668, and 9, yet this yr. with inhab. at Dover, and I judge not be the same wh. set. at Exceter, and was in 1684, a counsel.

(from Hinman 323) to have been Ichabod; Hannah; and Jonathan, again. His sec. w. was perhaps Elizabeth d. of the sec. John Talcott. But he is most rememb. with gratitude in our times, as the perserver of the charter, in opposit. to the demand of the royal Gov. by the perilous expedient of extinct. of the lights in the Council chamber, 31 Oct. 1687, and hiding the parchment in the great oak. He m. late in life, Mary, d. of John Blackleach, the younger, wh. had been first w. of Thomas Welles, next of John Olcutt, and she surv. Wadsworth. He was capt. d. 1730. * NATHANIEL, Farmington, s. of John, m. 21 Mar. 1705, Dorothy, d. of John Ball of New Haven, had Eunice, b. 10 June 1706; Timothy, bapt. 5 June 1709; Esther, prob. 3 May 1713; Sarah, 20 Jan. 1717; Nathaniel, perhaps 14 Sept. 1718; Mary, 14 Aug. 1720; Hezekiah, 16 Sept. 1722; and Timothy, again,, perhaps 26 Nov. 1727; was rep. 1727, and d. 20 Dec. 1761. SAMUEL, Milton, s. of Christopher, freem. 1668, m. Abigail d. of James Lindall of Marshfield, ahd perhaps Recompense, wh. d. 12 July 1679, only a few days bef. he would have been gr. at Harv. in 21st yr.; Ebenezer, b. a. 1661; Christopher, a. 1663; prob. others, and certain. Benjamin 1669, H. C. 1690, min. of the first ch. in Boston, ord. 8 Sept. 1696, and Presid. of Harv. Coll. He was disting. as a capt. in Philip's war, and in Apr. 1676, going to relief of Sudbury on a sudden assault by the enemy, was overpower. by numbers, and with the lieut. Sharpe of Brookline, and half his comp. cut off 21 Apr. Yet many authorities gave the date 18. The matter seems stated with much plausibility and with suffic. caution as to weight of evid. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 221. SAMUEL, Hartford, s. of William, d. 1682, his will of 16 Aug. in that yr. gave est. above [[381]] £1100. to brs. sis. a neph. and niece, so that we infer, he had no w. nor ch. then liv. * SAMUEL, Farmington, s. of John, m. 12 June 1689, Hannah, d. of Joseph Judson, had Hannah, bapt. 11 Feb. 1693; Sarah, 20 Oct. 1695; and Samuel, perhaps 23 Jan. 1698; was rep. 1699, and 1711, and d. 19 May 1731. His wid. d. 22 Aug. 1732. SAMUEL, Milton, prob. s. of the first Samuel, was deac. and d. 31 Jan. 1734 in his 60th yr. THOMAS, Hartford, s. of William of the same, had w.

TIMOTHY, Boston, freem. 1690, by w. Susanna, had Susanna, b. 29 Oct. 1687; and recompense, 19 Mar. 1690, H. C. 1708. * WILLIAM, Cambridge 1632 came, prob. with fam. of four ch. Sarah, William, wh. d. young, Mary, and John, in the Lion from London, arr. 16 Sept. See Winthrop Hist. I. 90. This date overthrows the slight presumpt. of some mem. of the mod. fam. that their progenit. had been first of Braintree, inasmuch as the court had in the preced. mo. order. the few friends of Hooker, wh. had sat down at B. to rem. to a safer spot. he was freem. 6 Nov. 1632, and in the great exodus, June 1636, rem. to Hartford, and there seems to have liv. in the highest esteem, no man ever more oft. chos. rep. for betw. Oct. 1656 and May 1675 (his last appear.), hardly a single yr. miss. his serv. Prob. he d. soon aft. He m. 2 July 1644, Elizabeth Stone, but this, of course, not his first w. outliv. him. His ch. by this w. were Elizabeth b. 17 Mary 1645; Samuel, 20 Oct. 1646, wh. d. at mid. age; Joseph, a. 1648; Sarah, the sec. 17 Mar. 1650; Thomas, a. 1651; and Rebecca, a. 1656; but of the first w. we kn. nothing, nor the order of dates for her ch. nor indeed date of a single one. The first Sarah m. 17 Sept. 1646, John Wilcox; Mary m. a. 1656, Thomas Stoughton of Windsor, so that we can be sure these two as well as John were of the first w. Elizabeth m. 27 Nov. 1662, John Terry of Windsor; and Sarah of the sec. w. m. 10 Nov. 1669, Jonathan Ashley of Springfield. He d. 1675, his will of 16 May 1675, with his inv. of 18 Oct. foll. and his wid. d. 1682, when Rebecca was unm. * WILLIAM, Farmington, s. of John, m. 10 Dec. 1696, Abigail, youngest d. of Capt. William Lewis, wh. d. 1707; and he m. 2 Jan. 1709, Sarah, d. of Thomas Bruce, wh. d. 1748. By this w. he had only William, b. 2 Dec. foll. the m.; but by first w. were William, b. 7 Dec. 1697, wh. d. young; Mary, 1700; Hannah, 27 July 1701; Abigail, 27 Jan. 1703; and Ezekiel, 19 Oct. 1704. He was rep. 1718-40, and d. 26 Oct. 1751. Of this name Farmer notes in 1829, that seven had been gr. at Harv. five at Yale, and three at Brown. WAINWRIGHT, FRANCIS, Ipswich 1637, serv. in the Pequot war, for kn. of wh. fact we are indebted to the "True Relation" of the battle by [[382]] Rev. Philip Vincent, as may be seen in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 40 and 1; was perhaps from Chelmsford in Co. Essex. FRANCIS, Ipswich, perhaps s. of the preced. b. in Eng. freem. 16571, was a merch. of the distinct. a corporal 1664, by w. Phillippa wh. d. 9 Oct. 1669, had John, b. a. 1648; Sarah; Mary; Martha; Simon; Mehitable; Elizabeth; and Francis, 25 Aug. 1664, H. C. 1686; and d. at Salem, 19 May 1692. His will, wh. is found in Suffk. rec. XIII. 17, provides for wid. Hannah, and ds. Mary w. of Rev. Jeremiah Shepard; Martha, w. of Joseph Proctor; Mehitable, w. of John Atwater; Elizabeth w. of Jonathan Cogswell; gr.s. Francis s. of Jacob Perkins by his d. Sarah; and Francis and John, s. of his s. John. His wid. m. Daniel Epes of Salem. Some presumpt. may arise that he is the same with the Pequot soldier. * FRANCIS, Ipswich, s. of the preced. m. Sarah Whipple, had only three ds. liv. at d. of his w. 16 Mar. 1709, but his s. John had d. 25 Sept. preced. in 18th yr. a senior at H. C. was maj. rep. and d. 3 Aug. 1711. JACOB, a soldier under capt. Lathrop, k. with the "flower of Essex" at Bloodybrook, 18 Sept. 1675, was perhaps s. of the sec. Francis. JOHN, Ipswich, br. of the last Francis, m. Elizabeth d. of William Norton, had Elizabeth wh. m. Nov. 1698, Addington Davenport; Ann, m. Adam Winthrop; Lucy m. 15 Sept. 1703, Paul Dudley; Francis, H. C. 1707; and John, 19 June 1691, H.

Sarah, m. 7 Feb. 1699, Charles Frost, and d. 5 June 1714, yet leav. the number of nine ch. as is shown in the Memoir, Geneal. Reg. V. 165, tho. the writer was so greatly excited by his relative's happiness, that he gives ten, of wh. two d. bef. her. THOMAS, Wethersfield 1643, serv. of Mr. Henry Smith, failed in suit against him, may have tak. disgust, and gone back to Dorchester 1659. Seven of this name have been gr. at Harv. but the only one for a hundred and forty yrs. is Jonathan Mayhew, 1812, the late excellent Bp. of New York. WAITE, WAIT, or WAIGHT, ALEXANDER, in 1637 was whip. for sell. powder to Ind. BRENJAMIN, Hatfield 1663, sw. alleg. 8 Feb. 1679, was serg. k. by the Ind. and Fr. in surpr. of Deerfield, to whose relief he hasted, 29 Feb. 1704. He m. 8 June 1670, Martha, d. of John Leonard of Springfield, had Mary, b. 25 Feb. 1672; Martha, 1673; Sarah 1675; on 19 Sept. 1677 the mo. and the three ch. were tak. by the Ind. (when his ho. with those of others was burn.) to Canada, where she had Canada, [[383]] a d. 22 Jan. 1678; and next yr. all came back. She next had John, 17 Jan. 1680; Joseph, 17 July 1682, d. young; Jeremiah, 24 Sept. 1684; and Joseph, again, 11 Nov. 1688. His good est. was div. soon aft. his d. when the d. Martha is not ment. Mary, the eldest d. m. 4 Dec. 1690, Ebenezer Wells; Sarah m. John Belding; and Canada m. 15 Dec. 1696, Joseph Smith. GAMALIEL, Boston, call. serv. to our br. Edward Hutchinson, on join, the ch. 15 Dec. 1633, was freem. 4 Mar. 1635, but, for too easy recept. of Mrs. Hutchinsons's errors, disarm. 1637; by w. Grace had Moses, bapt. 3 Sept. 1637, d. at 6 mos.; Grace, b. 10, Bapt. 20 Jan. 1639; Moses, again, bapt. 23 Aug. 1640, as the ch. rec. tells, tho. that of the town pretends he was not b. bef. Sept. yet it may be more trustworthy in ment. of his d. Sept. of next yr.; Samuel, bapt. 7 Nov. 1641; Deborah, bapt. 21 Jan. 1644, a. 4 days old; and Barry adds John, wh. would otherwise be unkn. to me. He had, also, Gamaliel, bapt. 17 Nov. 1650, was a fisherman, and on that score prayed, in 1657, exempt. from train. in the milit. gave in 1674 ld. on Long isl. in our habor to s. John; and d. 9 Dec. 1685 in 87 yr. says his neighbor Judge Sewall in his Diary where he delights to add, "lately had sev. new teeth." GEORGE, Providence, bef. 1646. JEREMIAH, Hatfield, s. of Benjamin of the same, m. 1706, Mary Graves, had Benjamin, b. 1707; Mary, 1708; Nathan, 1711; Gad; Reuben; Simeon; and Miriam; all liv. whenthe f. d. * JOHN, Charlestown, of the ch. 15 Jan. 1647, liv. in Malden, freem. 1647, was a strenuous support. in 1651 of Rev. Marmaduke Matthews, and was fin. for his contumac. opposition to authority, m. perhaps a d. of Joseph Hills, had Samuel, b. 11 Oct. 1650; Mary 31 Aug. 1652, d. at 15 yrs.; Hannah, 9 Sept. 1656; Mehitable, 15 Sept. 1658; Thomas, 1 Sept. 1660; and Rebecca, 22 Nov. 1662; John, perhaps, and Joseph, may have been elder; was town clk. 1662; rep. 1666-84 every yr. and this last was speaker; but next yr. by reason of age and blindness excus. on his petitn. from further serv. as capt. in wh. place he had many yrs. serv. d. 26 Sept. 1693, aged 75.

He rem. to Marlborough; but whether bef. during or aft. Philip's war may be quite diffic. to determine, tho. in Oct. 1675, he was there in garrison. JOSPEH, Hatfield, youngest s. of the brave soldier Benjamin of the same, m. 1713, Hannah Billings, had Moses, b. 1714; and Hannah, 1716. His w. d. that yr. and he m. 1720, Mary Warner, had Rhoda, 1721; David, 1722; Martha, 1724; Lucy, 1727; Mary, 1730; and ano. whose name is no kn.

I find neither brot. to bapt. perhaps bec. he was serv. as serg. in the Pequot war; for wh. in later days he obt. gr. of 300 acres, yet held fast by the deadly heresies of Mrs. Hutchinson, and was therefore in Nov. 1637 compel. to surrender his arms to better believer, and was in Jan. 1639, subject. to maledict. by the ch. for tak. a portion of buckskin leather to make gloves, so that the next ch. Return, 8 July foll. was next Sunday bapt. in right of its mo., wh. had come from the ch. of Newbury, says our rec. The next ch. was Hannah, b. 14 Sept. 1641, Barry tells from the town rec. wh. to me seems wrong, bec. the ch. to the good will of wh. he was restor. shows rec. of the bapt. 12th of that mo. declares she was 6 days old; next, Nathaniel, bapt. 5 Nov. 1643, a. 11 days old; Mary, b. 25, bapt. 22 Feb. 1646, a. 6 days old; Samuel, bapt. 9 July 1648, a. 20 days old; and Elizabeth 17 Nov. 1650. Barry supplies a sec. w. Rebecca, wh. brought John 1 Nov. 1653, prob. d. soon' Richard, 1658; John, again, 9 Feb. 1660; and Abigail. He [[385]] was marshall or sheriff of the Col. 1653, and was entrust, next yr. as messeng. to the Ind. His will was pro. 1680, by his br. Gamaliel, Excor. RICHARD, Watertown, by w.

His wid. d. 1678, aged a. 72. RICHARD, Springfield, took o. of alleg. 31 Dec. 1678. or next day, was on serv. in Philip's war, and when lieut. Thomas Cooper was slain by the Ind. was badly wound. for wh. in 1680 the governm. reliev. him from poll tax. SAMUEL, Wickford 1674, may, by w. Alice, have had Joseph, b. 1697; George, 1699; Samuel, 1701; Benjamin, 1702; Martha; and John, 1708; unless a later SAMUEL, perhaps s. at North Kingstown had these ch. SAMUEL, Malden, s. of capt. John had w. Mehitable, d. of the first William Bucknam, was freem. 1690, and d. 17 Sept, 1720. THOMAS, Ipswich, perhaps s. of John of the same, was serg. 1664, had John, b. 11 Dec. 1658; and was liv. 1678. THOMAS, Portsmouth, R. I. 1639, was among the freem. 1655, and of him I learn no more but that he had d. Mary wh. m. 5 Apr. 1676, Joseph Anthony of the same. THOMAS, Watertown, s. of Richard of the same, by w. Sarah, had Richard, b. 29 Jan. 1675, d. at 15 yrs.; Phebe, 26 July 1676; Thomas, 7 Mar. 1678; John, 16 Feb. 1681, d. at 10 yrs.; Joseph, 4 Feb. 1683; Sarah, 13 Jan. 1688; Mary, 20 Jan. 1690; Richard, again, 25 June 1691; and Abigail, 3 Dec. 1697; and he d. 3 Jan. 1723, and his wid. d. 17 Jan. 1744, aged 91, or by ch. rec. only 89.

His wid. d. 7 Oct. 1748. Who was his f. or whence he came to N. is unkn. WAKE, WILLIAM, Salem, was by our Court, in 1640, advis. to go home to his w. but seems not to have complied, and was frequent. fined for his disregard until he d. 1654; but from his will of 17 Apr. in that yr. seems to have left no ch. exc. Catharine, and beside ment. only br. John, both in Eng. WAKEFIELD, JOHN, Salem 1638, may have been next yr. of Plymouth, and aft. at Wells, where he was of gr. jury 1656. He m. prob. Elizabeth wid. of Edmund Littlefield. JOHN, Watertown 1646, may bef. and aft. have been of New Haven, there by w. Ann had Hannah, bapt. 29 Dec. [[386]] 1644; Mary, 24 Aug. 1645; and Martha, b 19 Apr. bapt. 19 May 1650, prob. for the date in Geneal. Reg. IX. 363, is, manifestly, wrong for Sunday. So is, perhaps, ano. ch.

The wid. m. 17 Oct. 1661, James Clark of New Haven, and d. 1695. Hannah m. 1662, as his sec. w.

JOHN, Boston, had Elizabeth wh. m. 20 Aug. 1660 Joseph Frost, and perhaps rem. the same yr. to Edgartown, but he may have been the one, wh. at Wells. 1653, submit. to the jurisdict. of Mass. JOHN, Boston, perhaps s. of the preced. by w. Deliverance, had Deliverance, b. 8 Sept. 1664; Ann, 2 Sept. 1666; John, 27 Jan. 1669; Samuel, 1 May 1674, prob. d. soon; and Samuel, again, 15 Jan. 1678; was, I suppose, that householder in 1695, wh. d. 1703. His will of 18 Oct. 1698, prob. 14 Mary. 1704, gave all to w. Deliverance for her life with power, on few occassions bestowed, to div. among his ch. at her pleasure. OPBADIAH, Boston, join. Mather's ch. June 1682,and was adm. freem. Feb. foll. had w. Susanna, and ch. Obadiah, b. 4 May 1674, d. soon; Obadiah, again, 1 Nov. 1677; John, 4 July 1682; and Samuel, 15 May 1686; not any more on town rec. but on ch. rec. are found, Ann, bapt. 8 Dec. 1689, perhas d. soon; Ann, again, 29 May 1692; Deborah, 21 Apr. 1695; Ann, again, 27 Feb. 1698. SAMUEL, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 2 Mar. 1675; Ebenezer, 12 Sept. 1684; Joshua, 19 Aug. 1686; and Dorcas, 5 Feb. 1689; was the mem. of ar. co. 1676, to wh. the Gen. Ct. in 1684, did not grant his req. to set up a wooden frame. WILLIAM, Hamtpon, the freem. of 13 Mar. 1639, town clk. in 1641, is prob. he wh. came in the Bevis, the yr. bef. from Southampton, aged 22, with w. or sis. Ann, 20, as serv. of Stephen Dummer of Newbury; and, Coffin ways, came again to Newbury 1646. WAKEHAM, or WAKCOME, EDWARD, perhaps of Dover, wh. may have been s. of John, m. 16 Mar. 1692, Sarah, d. of John Meader, JOHN, Dover, or that neighborhood, in 1689, prayed for governm. of Mass. to be extend over their country. WAKELY, WAKLEE, or WAKELIN, HENRY, Hartford, but not orig. propr. own. two lots there, yet rem. to Stratford, perhaps yr. bef. the enumerat. as freem. 1669. His will of 11 July 1689, names three s. Deliverance, James, and Jacob, ds. Patience, Abigail, and Mary Stevens. It gave also to Thomas Lettin, and Elizabeth Squier; and names his w. Sarah. ISAAC, Gloucester, s. of Thomas, was lost by shipwreck with Muddle a. 1662; but ano. Isaac, also s. of Thomas, was k. by the Ind. JAMES, Hartford 1649, may have been earlier inhab. there, and rem. to [[387]] Wethersfield, where he m. Alice, wid. of James Boosy. Some controv. was rais. a. this m. as it seems, for the Gen. Ct. of Conn. in Feb. 1653, judg. the act. of Dept. Gov. Haynes in m. them to be legal. However heas was not long content. to live with old neighbors. and rem. to Newport, 1665. At Providence he sent, 1680, to Conn. petitn. for divorce, and his w. desir. divorce also. Neither prevail. JOHN, Falmouth, s. of Thomas, had been of Gloucester 1656, m. 10 May of unkn. yr. but perhaps 1657, Elizabeth Sowers, says Geneal. Reg. IV. 366, had Hannah, of whose b. we hae the day 12, but not the mo. nor yr.; Thomas, b. 3 Sept. 1659, d. in 3 days; and Elizabeth 31 Jan. 1662; was k. with w. and ch. by the Ind. Sept. 1675. His d. Elizabeth however, was tak. by the Ind. at that time, and in June 1676 restor. and m. Richard Scammon of Dover, and had plenty of ch. He is the man, whose name in the inestimable Coll. of Hutchinson, 398, is print. Marklie. RICHARD, Haddam, had been made freem. 1657, bef. H. was incorp. d. 6 Aug. 1681. His est. was distrib. to the wid. two s. and one d. all nameless. THOMAS, Hingham 1635, freem. 3 Mar. 1636, had perhaps that Thomas, wh. d. 23 June, 1644, rem. to Falmouth 1661, was there in 1675, with w. s. and his w. and four ch. k. by the Ind. Willis I. 137. WAKELING, LUKE, Rowley 1662, is prob. the same fam. name as the preced. WAKEMAN or WAKMAN, EZBON, ISBUN OR ISBON, Stratford, among the freem. 1669, s. of Samuel of Hartford, had liv. at New Haven 1653, m. 1 Apr. 1669, at Guilford, Hannah Jordan, but bef. 1671, had purch. est. at Fairfield, where he d. 1683, leav. only d.

Disc. of Dr. Bacon, in his seating of the metting-ho. 10 Mar. 1646, gives the name of sis. W. s. Samuel, and Elizabeth m. 11 Mar. 1657, Samuel Kitchell, one of the early sett. at Newark, N. J; and Ellen, ano. d. m. 29 Oct. 1650, the sec. John Talcott. Goodwin calls him Rev. but the reason for this distinct. is not seen. The f. made his will at Hartford and d. there. * SAMUEL, Roxbury 1631, br. of John, came in the Lion, arr. in Nov. freem. 7 Aug. foll. prob. rem. to Cambridge, was rep. at the May sess. 1635, and rem. with Gov. Haynes, or rather as his forerun. to Hatford, where in Apr. 1636, he was made constable, and engag. in adjust. the bounds of the first settlem. of Windsor and Wethersfireld, was k. in the smummer of 1641, with capt. Pierce at Providence in the Bahamas, as told by Winthrop, II. 33. His est. was in Dec. 1645, sett. on Nathaniel Willett, wh. had m. his wid. Elizabeth but he was to pay £40. to the s. when 21 yrs. old. and L20. to ea. of 3 ds. on their coming to 18. They were all young, for the ch. rec. of Roxbury informs [[388]] us, that he bur. his only ch. at sea, and his first b. here by w. Elizabeth was Elizabeth wh. m. Joseph Arnold; Joanna m. Francis Hacleton; and the other m. John Kelly. SAMUEL, Fairfield, s. of John, was bred at Harv. but left coll. in 1655, "Upon a dissatisfact. a. an hardship, wh. they [seventeen of the schol.] thot. put upon them, in mak. them lose a good part of a yr. of the time, whereupon they claim. their degr." says Magn. IV. 135. But Mather is too indefinite, and, with refer. to Brimsmead and Torrey, prob. mistak. so that we fell little confid. in his narrat. He m. 29 Oct. 1656, Hannah, d. of Stephen Goodyear, at New Haven, there had Samuel, b. 12 Oct. fol. rem. to F. was ord. 30 Sept. 1665, much esteem. and d. 8 Mar. 1692. His will bears the same date, and his inv. is of 8 Apr. foll. He names w. Hannah, ch. Samuel, wh. was d. 1691; John; Joseph; and Jabez. The est. was div. by John, Joseph, Jabez. He had also Ebenezer; whose est. was div. among the three brs. and three brs.-in-law: Albert Denny, Abrahm Howell, Nicholas Clegstone, prob. hs. of three ds. WALCOT, WALLCOT, WALCUT, or WALCOTT, ABRAHAM, Salem vill. now Danvers, husbandman, first heard of 1678, freem. 1690, m. 22 Nov. 1682, Ruth Hooper, perhaps d. of the first William, and by sec. w. m. 30 Apr. 1689, Abigail Briggs, had Nathaniel, b. 11 Feb. 1694. JOHN, Danvers, s. perhaps eldest of Jonathan, by w. Mary had Elizabeth b. 20 June 1693; Jerusha, 20 Dec. 1696; Mary, 11 Apr. 1699; and Jonathan, 9 May, 1700. JONATHAN, Salem, in that part wh. bec. Danvers, m. 26 Jan. 1665, Mary, d. of John Sibley, had beside ds. Hannah and Mary, John; Jonathan, b. 1 Sept. 1670; and Samuel, 12 Oct. 1678, H. C. 1698. His w. d. 28 Dec. 1683; and he m. 23 Apr. 1685 Deliverance, d. of Thomas Putnam, and had Thomas; William; Ebenezer; Benjamin, 23 Apr. 1695; and Ann. He was perhaps br. of Abraham, capt. and freem. 1690, and d. 16 Dec. 1699. JOSIAH, Salem by w. Penelope, m. 19 Feb. 1685, wh. d. 28 Dec. 1690, had Elizabeth b. 30 Mar. 1688; and Josiah, 21 Dec. 1690, d. in two wks. He took sec. w. 1 or 6 May 1694, Mary, d. of John Freke of Boston. WILLIAM, Salem 1637, was excommun. by Hugh Peter's influence with his ch. at the same time, and for the same cause, as famous Roger Williams, with whose opinions on some points of ecclesiast. customs be sympathiz. rem. Farmer thinks, to Providence, but I kn. no more. WALDEN, EDWARD, Wenham, d. June 1679, in his will of 22 Mar. preced. ment. s. Nathaniel, appoint, excor. other ch. all under age, John, Hannah, Ruth, Naomi,and Elizabeth beside omit. Mary and Thomasin, for wh. as Rev. Joseph Gerrish sw. he told him, "he had done eno. already." So we may conlcude, that these were elder. See Essex Inst. Coll. III. 48, 9. [[389]] WALDRO, CORNELIUS, Ipswich 1654, m. a. d. of John Cogswell, had John and Cornelius, perhaps others, prob. Elizabeth wh. m. 4 Feb. 1673, Josiah Bracket of Billerica, rem. to Chelmsford, was deac. and d. 3 June. 1701. * CORNELIUS, Dunstable, s. of the preced. one of the founders of the ch. 16 Dec. 1685, was re. 1689, had perhaps Cornelius and others. * JOHN, Chelmsford 1675, s. of the first Cornelius, was rep. a short sess. 1689, for Dunstable. He rem. in the Ind. war to Windham, Conn. there d. a. 1700. His will of 14 Apr. in that yr. names w. Rebecca, wh. was d. of Samuel Adams of C. s. John, and refers to other childr. not nam. His inv. was L292. beside the st. at Chelmsford. ROBERT, Charlestown, d. 2 Aug. 1677, says Farmer MS. but I doubt he as only trans. Five of this name had, in 1818, been gr. at Harv. and one at Yale, and others at other N. E. coll. WALDRON, WALDREN, WALDERNE, or WALROND, ALEXANDER, Dover 1664, kinsman, perhaps, but not younger br. of the first Richard, had not, that we kn. any fam. but d. at Newcastle, or great isl. 7 June 1676, naming five brs. to take his prop. with a sis. Mary, namely, Isaac, William, Goerge, Samuel, and Edward, as Farmer, MS. shows. EDWARD, Ipswich 1648, perhaps br. of the preced. prob. went home soon. GEORGE, Dover 1661, of wh. we hear no more, but his being br. of Alexander, exc. that he rem. to Boston, there by w.Rachel had John, b. 25 Aug. 1676; and Benjamin, 22 May, 1679; unless, indeed, he were that other GEORGE, of Boston, wh. by w. Constant, had Benjamin, b. 24 Apr. 1678, and no more on the rec. ISAAC, Portsmouth, br. of the preced. a physician, was of York, 1670; in 1676 rem. to Boston, had w. Priscilla, and ch. Isaac, b. 23 June 1677; Priscilla, 6 Dec. 1678, prob. d. soon; Priscilla, again, 23 June 1680; and Priscilla, again, 12 July 1681; and he d. 1683. JOHN, Dover, s. of William of the same, had w. Dorothy, was, in 1665, 40 yrs. old; and perhaps late in life m. Elizabeth wid. of the William Horne, k. by the Ind. at the assault on that town, 27 June 1689. JOHN, Marblehead, 1673, m. 25 Sept. 1679, Dorcas Rice, had been perhaps of Ipswich, the yr. bef. the childr. were Mary, b. 30 Jan.1681; John, 8 Dec. 1682; Edward, 23 Nov. 1687; Tabitha, 22 Sept. 1689; Naomi, 10 Aug. 1691; Tamisin, 9 May 1693; Joseph, 15 Feb. 1695; Sarah, 9 Jan. 1699; and Nathaniel, 27 Aug. 1700. Of ano. JOHN at Dover, apprent. to John Heard, at the time of his will, 21 Apr. 1687, confus. tradit. of his m. with William Horn's wid. and hav. eight ch. aft. 1689, when the poor woman had brot. plenty from 1661 to 1676, as well as the strange manner of his being kidnap. and brot. from Eng. it is hardly worth the trouble of unwinding the narrat. possib. of two very blind narratives. Very detail. acco. of the k. by the Ind. of two of the ch. of the ages of 7 and 5 yrs. and large partic. of the [[390]] resid. of the fam. was giv. in the Dover Enquirer; but so much is of a mythic and fabulous charact. as not to deserve attent. PAUL, Dover, eldest s. of the first Richard, was charg. for unlicens. sale of Liquor 1668, as by our Col. Rec. is shown, soon aft. went abroad, and, it is said was tak. by Algerines, and d. a. 1669. RALPH, Boston d. at Barbadoes, says Farmer, 29 Nov. 1653. * RICHARD, Dover 1645, b. at Alcester, Co. Warwick, bapt. 6 Jan. 1616, m. prob. in Eng. whither he ret. aft. first coming, says tradit. in 1635, had, perhaps, after sec. coming, Paul; Timothy, wh. is said to have d. at Harv. Col. bef. gr.; Richard, b. 1650; Ann; Elnathan, 6 July 1659, d. at 5 mos.; Esther, 1 Dec. 1660; and Mary, 14 Sept. 1663, perhaps d. soon, and so many have also, her mo. (these three last rec. at Boston); and by sec. w. Ann, perhaps sis. of the first Richard Scammon, had Eleazer, 1 May 1665; Elizabeth 18 Oct. 1666; Mary, again, 17 July 1668, d. a. 14 yrs. old; was a man of great influence, rep. 1654, 7, 61, and very oft. aft. speaker 1666 to 9, 73, part of 74 to 76, and last in 1679, was a capt. early and maj. in the great Ind. war 1675 and 6; one of the counsel, under new form of governm. of N. H. 1680, and on the d. of Presid. Cutt, 1681, was head of the Prov. until the arr. of royal gov. His w. d. 7 Feb. 1680, and he was k. by the Ind. 27 June 1689, with circumst. of unusualy cruelty, aged 74, not, as Farmer says, 80. His d. Ann, m. a. 1670, Rev. Joseph Gerish of Wenham; Esther m.

Richard Jose, sheriff of the prov. outliv. him, m. once more, and went across the ocean to d. in the isl. of Jersey; and Elizabeth m.

John Cutt, the presid. of the prov. had Samuel, b. 1682, d. in few mos. as did his mo. 14 Feb. 1683, tho. by ano. report. it was 7 Feb. 1686. He m. 6 Feb. 1693, Eleanor, d. of William Vaughan, had Richard, b. 21 Feb. 1694; Margaret, 16 Nov. 1695; William, 4 Aug. 1697, H. C. 1717, first min. of the New Brick ch. Boston, set up by seceders from the New North, on acco. of install. of Peter Thacher, ord. 23 May 1722, wh. d. 20 Sept. 1727; Ann, 27 Aug. 1698; Abigail, 28 July perhaps, 1702, but ano. auth. says 1704; and Eleanor, Apr. 1704 or 6, d. at 20 yrs. was rep. at Boston, a ft. overthr. of Andros, 1691 and 2, aft. being in 1681 of the royal council in N.

Wariwck, wh. was the s. of George, wh. was the s. of Edward of the same, perhaps brot. w. and ch. from Eng. took side early for Mass. and was freem. 19 May 1642, rep. for the sess. one [[391]] day, and again in 1646 was made not only recorder for the Prov. of Maine, as Geneal. Reg. V. 182, has it, under Sir Ferdinando Gorges, but Recorder for Dover, by power of our Col. See Col. Rec. II. 153. He was drown. at Kennebunk in Sept. of that yr.; not, as Farmer and most others report, 1647. See Winthrop II. 278. His d. Prudence m. 1661, Richard Seammon. WILLIAM, Dover 1664-83, but at Boston 1672, a gunsmith, may have been the br. of Alexander, or, as Farmer conject. s. of the preced. Oft. in old rec. the name is Walden. WALES, JAMES, Lynn, d. Nov. 1682, was perhaps only trans. resid. for his inv. tak. 10 Jan. foll. by the constable, was only £2. 4s. JOHN, Dorchester, s. of Nathaniel, b. in Eng. prob. as he was bailiff 1653, by w. Elizabeth had Content, b. 14 May 1659; Elizabeth 1 July 1662; Elkanah, 16 June 1665, d. at 24 yrs.; and John,the freem. 1677, wh. d. 16 June 1683, aged 29, so was prob. the first b.; was freem. 1677, same yr. with his s. of the same name. Content m. John Mason. Content and Elkanah were bapt. 29 July 1677. NATHANIEL. Dorchester, a shipwirght, one of the passeng. with Rev.

JEREMIAH, Portsmouth, s. prob. of the preced. was liv. it is said, in 1688, and prob. many yrs. later. JOHN, Portsmouth, not perhpas of this fam. unless he were s. of the sec. Thomas, was one of the royal counc. 1692. THOMAS, Charlestwon 1628, found there by the first comers of the Mass. comp. in 1629, and call. a smith, but rem. a. 1631, to Portsmouth, where he was better treat. than in Mass. serv. on the gr. jury 1654, and d. 1660. In Gen. Reg. IX, 220, one says his will was made 15 and pro. 21 Nov. of that yr. His w. Jane was b. perhaps 1597, at least was old eno. to be call. a witch in 1657, but we may rejoice that the epithet was not deadly. He left s. Thomas and Jeremiah, beside ds. of wh. one m. successiv.

He d. 1 Jan. 1653 at Bilboa in Spain, and his descend, were early at Woburn. By fam. tradit. he came from the vicinity of Berwick on Tweed. BENJAMIN, Boston, one of the found. of Brattle st. ch.

Hannah in 1682; was lieut. ar. co. 1676, and d. 19 Oct. 1688. Yet that he had w. bef. m. with that wid. of Symonds, seems clear eno. for in Sept. 1662 is rec. of a deed from him to Susannah Walker, his d. of "that little shop wh. now she keeps." This opinion I still retain, tho. in Mar. 1666 is found ano. deed of hims. and Susanna, his (third) w. to their d. Susanna.

JOHN, a soldier under capt. William Turner at the FAlls fight, 18 May 1676, was k. by the Ind. next day. JOHN, Charlestown, m. Ann or Hannah, d. of John Mirick, unless she were d. of Jacob Leager of Boston, had not long life, for his wid. was praying adv. of the Gen. Ct. in June 1680; nor do I kn. of the ch. exc. by ch. rec. of bapt. Joseph, 17 Oct. 1675; Ann, 16 Apr. 1676; Lydia, 6 June 1680; and Benjamin, 7 Aug. 1681; of course here is little to indicate the dates of b. especially of the first and last. His w. had gain. the benefit for the ch. by join. the ch. 3 Oct. 1675. JOHN, Beverly, m. Elizabeth d. of Humphrey Woodbury, had Sarah and Eunice, rememb. in the will of their gr.f. Mar. 1686.

He was a weaver, bec. the most thrifty man in the town, and his contribution to carry on the war against Philip, the gr. Ind. price, was L26, being the largest of any in the municipality. Sarah m. 27 Dec. 1677, Abraham Perrin; Elizabeth m. 29 Mar. 1687, Henry Sweet of Swanzey. PHILIP, Rehoboth, s. of the preceed. m. 31 Dec. 1687, Mary Bowen, had Ebenezer, b. 21 Oct. 1688; James, 3 Sept. 1690; Philip, 13 Aug. 1693; and his w. d. the next yr. By sec. w.

Tabitha m. 11 Mar. 1663, Daniel King, Jr. and Elizabeth m. 2 Mar. 1664, Ralph King. RICHARD, Boston, may have been that shoemaker, wh. emb. at Southampton Apr. 1635, in the Names, or perhaps he wh. came from London, the same mo. in the Elizabeth, aged 24, m. 1637, Ann, wid. of Robert Houton; perhaps had ch. for his unlucky w. being cast out of the ch. 29 Apr. 1639, for intemp. in drink. and other misbehav. was next day, by the civil power, sentenc. to the whippingpost, but the punishm. postpon. bec. she was with ch. of wh. no rec. of b. is found. See Winthrop II. 349. RICHARD, Salem, wh. had gr. of ld. 1637, may have been h. of that Persis, wh. join. the ch. 1639; and perhaps was aft. of Manchester, and f. of Richard of Ipswich 1700, for great uncert. prevails. He, or one of the same name, was call. as witness in witcher. case 1692. * RICHARD, Reading, s. of Richard the first, perhaps [[396]] left by his f. in Eng. was, I think, rep. 1660 and 73 for that town, may possib. have been of Ipswich, freem. 1671, wh. m. 29 Oct. 1661, Sarah Story, had Hannah, b. 10 Sept. 1662; Sarah, 29 Nov. 1666; Richard, 6 Feb. 1675; and Joseph, 29 Dec. 1679; rem. to Lynn, was made capt. of the troop 1679, and rep. that had the foll. yr.

Sarah, tho. of the first five the name of mo. is not put upon the rec. In a deed of 30 Apr. 1646 from him to Bryan Pendleton, est. in Weatertown, he is styled, I think carelessly, of that town, wherein he never liv. He testif. 10 Apr. 1679, calling hims. linen webster, that he was a. 72 yrs. old, had liv. with f. at Manchester in Lancash. a. 56 yrs. bef. and then kn. Henry Sewall, f. of Henry of Newbury. He was one of the founders of Old So. ch. 1669, and d. 29 May 1687, a "very good man," says Sewall, when noting his bur. 31; and 21 Dec. 1695 d. of his wid. is mark. by the saMe hand; his d.

SAMUEL, Boston 1654, merch. m. Sarha, d. of Joshua Scottow, wh. gave him in 1672, an est. in B. * SAMUEL, Rehoboth, eldest s. of Philip of the same, m. 11 Nov. 1681, Martha Ide, d. prob. of Nicholas the first, had Samuel, b. 11 Nov. 1682; Patience, 30 Mar. 1685; Timothy, 14 Sept. 1687; Peter, 18 Sept. 1689; Ephraim, 4 Sept. 1692; and Martha, 8 Sept. 1696; and his w. d. Aug. 1700. By sec. w. Elizabeth he had Elizabeth b. 10 Aug. 1702; and Benjamin, 12 Aug. 1703; and d. 12 Aug. 1712. He sev. in Philip's war, was constable 1682, afterwards lieut. and rep. 1705; his wid. m. John Smith of Roxbury, [[397]] SHUBAEL, Rowley, early the town clk. m. at Lynn, 29 May 1666, Patience Jewett, prob. d. of Joseph of Rowley, was some time at Reading, sw. alleg. at Haverhill, being then capt. 28 Nov. 1677, liv. at Bradford, d.

Ann had Elizabeth b. 18 Aug. 1650; John, 15 Mar. 1652; Ann, 27 Feb. feb. 1654; and Samuel, 26 June 1656; beside Thomas, perhaps eldest; and d. 11 Aug. 1659. THOMAS, Sudbury, by w. Mary had Mary, b. at Boston, as Barry presumes, 9 Aug. 1661; Thomas, 22 May 1664; William, 22 July 1666; Hannah, 26 Nov. 1668, d. soon' Hannah, again, 1669; Daniel, 10 Feb. 1674; Sarah, 25 July 1677; Abigail, 29 Oct. 1679; John; and Elizabeth wh. both prob. d. young. He had encouragem. to keep the sch. at Sudbury in 1664, but in 1672, renew. his license for an ordinary. His will was pro. 1697. THOMAS, Boston, brickmaker, perhaps eldest s. of Thomas of the same, m. 25 Mar. 1662, Susanna, d. of John Collins, was freem. 1690. THOMAS, Bristol 1687, one of the founders of the town with famous capt. Church. THOMAS, Framingham, eldest s. of Thomas of the same, m. 1687, Martha, d. of Samuel How, had Thomas, b. Sept. 1688, d. soon; Samuel, 24 Sept. 1689; Obadiah; Martha; Mary; Thomas, again; Asa, 7 June 1702; Hannah, 17 June 1705; Jason, 28 Oct. 1708; and John, 1 Feb. 1714; and d. 25 Oct. 1717. WILLIAM, Salem, gave trouble to the ch. in 1637. WILLIAM, Hingham 1636, perhaps that youth, wh. came 1635, aged 15, in the Elizabeth from London, and possib. br. of Richard wh. was a fellow passeng. and may have been one of the first sett. at Eastham, where he m. 25 Feb. 1655, Sarah Snow, perhaps d. of Nicholas, had John, b. 24 Nov. foll. wh. was k. by the Ind. in 1676; William, 12 Oct. 1657, d. soon; William, again, 2 Aug. 1659; Sarah, 30 July 1662; Elizabeth 28 Sept. 1664; and Jabez, 8 July 1668. WILLIAM, Sudbury, s. of Thomas of the same, m. 1686, Sarah Goodnow, perhaps d. of the sec. John of the same, had William, b. 1687; Sarah, d. soon; Thomas, 15 Aug. 1689; John, Sept. 1693; Abigail, 15 Aug. 1702; Mary, 30 Oct. 1706; and Hezekiah, 8 Oct. 1711; and d. 1732. WILLIAM, Eastham, s. of William of the same, had William, b. 1693, and perhaps John, earlier, and Mehitable, later. ZECHARY, Stratford, s. of Robert, was educ. at Harv. says Mather's Magn. IV. 135, but left without degree on acco. of the term of study prolong. preach. first at Jamaica, L. I. 1663 to 8, when he rem. and was made min. of a portion yet no sec. parish at S. not without much disquiet, as the Col. Rec. of Trumbull II. 111, 124, shows; was among the freem. 1669; ord. 5 May 1670; but when Woodbury was sett. that yr. the new town's folk was content. with Walker, tho. he did not rem. his fam. bef. 1678; and so good Israel Chauncy contin. to serve the people of S. reunited. W. liv. [[398]] until 20 Jan. 1700, and to Cothren's Hist. of the town, we owe most of the particulars. He left wid. Susanna by wh. he had Elizabeth b. 1 Mar. 1675; but other ch. Zechariah, beside Abigail, wh. d. young, both bapt. 22 May 1670. An agreem. in Mar. 1700 betw. the wid. and Zechariah and Elizabeth W. for the partition of the est. renders this certain. One Sarah W. aged 17, came in the Elizabeth, 1635, from London, m. not many yrs. aft. John Tisdae, not Brown, as plausib. is said in Geneal. Reg. IX. 219. Roxbury town rec. tells, that Dorcas W. was bur. 14 Apr. 1640, but it is beyond my means to conject. wh. she was, unless mo. of that John, the only man of the name found in that town bef. and she were too wise to partake his heresy, or too old to rem. with her s. Farmer marks, that, in 1834, of this name, fourteen had been gr. at Harv. seven at Yale, and fourteen at the other N. E. coll. WALKLEY, HENRY, Hartford, one of the first sett. but not orig. propr. 1637. WALKUP, GEORGE, Rending, m. 4 Nov. 1688, Naomi Stephenson of the same, says Barry, wh. ment. tradit. that he was a Scotchman, had Thomas, b. 16 Mar. 1689; George, 6 Jan. 1691; Naomi, 28 Mar. 1692, d. young; Rachel, 29 Jan. 1704; Noami, again, Apr. 1709; and Thankful; and d. 1748. WALL, JMAES, Portsmouth 1631, carpenter, sent over by Mason the patentee, was a witness to the true deed to Wheelwright, Farmer says, from the Ind. in Apr. 1838, rem. to Hampton 1643, when his d. Elizabeth m. Thomas Harvey, at Exeter 1646, as our Col. Rec. II. shows, tax. at Dover 1649, but in Oct. of that yr. is call. of Exeter, carpenter, when he rec. from Waldron, his right to erect a sawmill with sixty acres, stock of cattle, &c. at D. went back to H. and in 1654 his w. was d. and prob. he d. soon. His d. Sarah m. 1663, Thomas Dow. One Joan W. emb. at London, June 1635, aged 19, in the Abigail. A JOHN, said to have come in 1630, was of Exeter 1639, and Portsmouth 1640. WALLACE, is not found in Farmer, nor, I believe, in N. E. bef. 18th cent. By the Index in sev. vols. of the Geneal. Reg. it was introd. when Wallis was not seen there, tho. in the passages referred to, if relat. to men of hte first, sec. or third generat. this name appears to be the true one. WALLEN, WALLING, or WALINE, JAMES, and JOHN, Providence, perhaps,. brs. and may be s. of Thomas of the same, gave engagem. of alleg. to the k. May 1682. RALPH, Plymouth, came in the Ann, 1623, prob. with w. Joyce, wh. surv. him. RICHARD, Providence, engag. alleg. to Charles II. June 1667, may have had perhaps John, James, and Thomas, or may have been br. of the last. THOAMS, whose name is once giv. Walwin, Providence 1645, and there on the freemen's list [[399]] 1655, may have been br. of the preced. had w. Mary wh. d. 1669, and prob. by her, s. Thomas, and other ch. d. 19 July 1674. THOMAS, Providence, perhaps s. of the preced. liv. at P. when to took the o. of alleg. in May 1682, and thro. the war with Philip. He m. 19 June 1669, Margaret, wid. perhaps of Robert Caldwell. WALLER, CHRISTOPHER, Salem 1637, tray-maker, had gr. of ld. 1649, rem. to Ipswich, there d. 1676. His will of 17 Oct. pro. 30 Nov. names w. Margaret, no ch. JOHN, Damariscove, and Monhegin, d. 1670, says our Col. Rec. V. 18, when the Gen. Ct. gave admin. of his est. JOHN, Lyme, br. of Samuel, m. 28 Dec. 1678, Mary Durin, had John, b. 10 Nov. 1679. JOSEPH, Boston, by w. Lydia, had Joseph, b. 3 Feb. 1670; rem. to Fairfield, prob. there d. 1672, his inv. 25 Dec. of that yr. shows very small est. to support wid. and two ch. Joseph and Lydia. The wid. m. John Davis, wh. rem. to Woodbury. MATTHEW, Salem 1637, rem. to Providence, there was liv. in 1655 in the list of freem. and had before been at New London, and liv. there 1667-74. He had ds. Rebecca, wh. m. Thomas Bolles, as his sec. w. and d. Feb. 1712; and Sarah, wh. in 1699, was unm. SAMUEL, New London. s. of William of Lyme, d. 1742, very aged, says Caulkins. THOMAS, Boston 1670, a shoemaker, s. of wid. Joan W. wh. m. Francis Croakham, may have been the same, wh. by w. Martha ahd Thomas, b. 26 July 1667; and by w. Mary had Mehitable, 18 Feb. 1675; Sarah, 5 Nov. 1676; and Jane, 23 June 1678. Ano. THOMAS, was of Providence, 1676. * WILLIAM, Salem 1637, may have had w. Sarah, wh. join. the ch. 1648, was of Saybrook 1649, br. of Matthew of the same, rep. 1665, the first Court after union with New Haven, and oft. aft. a lieut. 1671, m. Mary, only d. of Reynold Marvin, and had John, Samuel, William, propound. for freem. 1677, and Matthew. He was of Lyme side. WALLEY, CHRISTOPHER, Concord, freem. 1682, whose name by Paige is read Walley from the Col. Rec. and by Shurtleff, Walers; so unusual a patronymic that I doubt the skillfulness of the clk. JOHN, Boston, mariner, freem. May 1673, adm. the same day with John W. the merch. and what is perculiar. vexatious, for a series of yrs. ea. had w. Elizabeth and one or two ch. with same bapt. names; so that the confus. seems inextricab. Prob. he had sec. w. Sarah, and by her Hannah, b. 23 July 1680, and by third w. Elizabeth had possib. some ch. certain, Sarah, 27 Apr. 1695. But the first w. m. 3 Apr. 1661, was Elizabeth d. of Robert Wing, wh. brot. him John, 27 Aug. 1662; Elizabeth 8 May 1665; Elizabeth again, 28 July 1667; Samuel, 1 Feb. 1671; Thomas, 26 Feb. 1673; and after many hours devot. at var. times to his name, I acknowledge little confdence and less satisfact. JOHN, Boston, s. of Rev. Thomas of London, b. in Eng. and came bef. his f. by w. prob. nam. Sarah had Sarah, [[400]] 25 Aug. 1684; Abiel, 30 Aug. 1686; William 23 Dec. 1687; John, 19 July 1689; but Bridgman makes him b. at Bristol, 11 Sept. 1691. Strong suspicion is felt that some of these may be ch. of the other John. But indeed the whole is uncert. exc. John. He was of ar. co. 1671, freem. 1673, capt. in the milit. 1679, in 1683 rem. to Barnstable, or other town in Plymouth jurisdict. was engag. much in settlem. of Bristol, and assist. of that col. 1684, and one of the council nam. in the royal commissn. to Andros 1686. The yr. foll. the overthrow of A. Walley had the disadvantage of being chief milit. officer in the expedit. of 1690 against Quebec, wh. Sir William Phips ahd project. and of wh. he took all the command; and thus was Walley reliev. of real responsibility, tho. expos. to pop. censure by the errors of Phips. Sir W. on board ship summoned the city, and directed all the land operations of the campaign, for wh. he had no adequate skill, and in the ill success of wh. his eminent. incaustious panegyrist natural. saw more of "the hand of heaven' than of the ignorance and rashness of his hero. See Magn. II. 51, the most curious biogr. of Sir William Phips, afterwards made Gov. of Mass. by hte f. of Mather dictat. to King William III. Hutch. Hist. of Mass. I. gives Walley's acco. in Appx. In the same charter W. was nam. of the Council, and by the Gov. and Council appoint. one of the Sup. Ct. judges 1700-11. He d. 11 Jan. 1712, aged 68, wh. might be suspect. for 58, if as Bridgman, 34, says he was b. at our Barnstable. Nothing can be more certain, than that he was b. at least 8 or 10 yrs. bef. the com. of Rev. Thomas, for he was an Assist. of Plym Col. as early as 1684, beside being sw. as freem. 1673. His d. Sarah m. first Charles Chauncy of Boston, merch. and bore him 1 Jan. 1705, a s. of the same name, one of the most disting. divines on our side of the ocean, and prob. she aft. m. a Willoughby, and Elizabeth m. 29 Oct. 1713, Rev. Joseph Sewall, and with much study good fam. connex. can be learn. from his will of 4 Feb. preced. pro. 25 foll. It makes s. John Excor. gives him beside ho. ld. and whf. L3,000, two unm. ds. Elizabeth and Lydia L1,500. ea. and refers to no other ch. beside Sarah, wid. of Charles Chauncy, nam. her four ch. Charles, Mary, Isaac, and Walley; but neph. and niece had favor, as Hannah, w. of James Leonard, d. of Thomas W. the br. of testat. with her two ch. by first h.

John Alden, perhaps d. in distant ld. and his wid. m. 30 Apr. 1702, Simon Willard, s. of Rev. Samuel. THOMAS, Barnstable, one of the eight min. wh. came from London (where he had been rect. of St. Mary's Whitechapel) in the Society, capt. Peirce, arr. at Boston 24 May 1663, bring. not as too oft. said s. John, but ds. Hannah, wh. m. 10 May 1664, Samuel Allyn or [[401]] Allen, acc. Bridgman, 34, but I prefer the old Col. record, that makes George Shove (tho. so much reverence, as to be call. Mr. without a bapt. name) to m. 18 Feb. 1674, 5, Mistris Walley, wh. in her maidenly glory as d. of Rev. Thomas, need. not other designat. and Mary, wh. m. Nov. 1668, Job Crocker. He perhaps had other ch. wh. d. in London; was call. a man of great esteem, d. on Sunday, 24 Mar. 1678, aged 61, as in Farmer, wh. mistook the yr. by foll. the law, when custom had begun to change the enumera. of the first month in the yr. for the forward not the backward yr. as well from the first day, as from the 25th. Bradstreet's Journal of May 1678 ment. of the d. in Feb. or Mar. preced. settles the question. See Geneal. Reg. IX. 49. His wid. Hannah m. THOMAS, Barnstable, s. of the preced. prob. some yrs. older than John, the milit. com. had fam. we kn. as two m. ds. are ment. in the will of their uncle. Perhaps he had one or more sons; but no certain kn. has reach. me. Late. I have learn. that my conclus. of the m. of George Shove with d. of first Thomas, rather than wid. of the sec. was wrong. This sec. Barntsbale Thomas, wh. by early d. bef. his f. led to the false infer. had m. Hannah, d. of Nathaniel Bacon, and she next m. as above said, Rev. George Shove of Taunton. THOMAS, Boston, m. 22 Sept. 1692, Christian Johnson; but I kn. nothing more of either. WILLIAM, Charlestown, m. 18 Feb. 1684, Sarah Marshal, perhaps d. of William. WILLINGFORD, or WALLINSFORD, JOHN, Dover, m. 16 Dec. 1687, Mary, d. of John Tuttle the sec. of the same, had Thomas, b. a. 1697, and prob. others, bef. or aft. or both. NICHOLAS, Bradford, m. 4 Dec. 1678, Elizabeth Palmer. It is strange that we kn. nothing of this fam. for wid. Sarah hav. ten ch. wish. admin. of her h. (one of the ch. may have been that Nicholas) applied to the Gen. Ct. 1683 for some purpose, on wh. the Ct. resolv. that the County Ct. in Essex was authoriz. to do all that was proper. I conject. that her h. was Nicholas of Rowley 1663. Only ch. Nicholas is ment. by wid. Elizabeth when she took admin. June 1682. WALLINGTON, NICHOLAS, Newbury, "a poor boy" says customho. rec. of the passeng. in the Confidence from Southampton 1638, when by the place in wh. his name is insert. I judge that he was, with others, sev. of Stephen Kent; a short time was of Rowley, a. 1663; m. 30 Aug. 1654, says Coffin, Sarah, d. of Henry Travers of N. had John, b. 16 Sept. 1655, d. soon; Nicholas, 2 Jan. 1657; John, again, 7 Apr. 1659; Sarah, 20 May 1661; Mary, 20 Aug. 1663; James, 6 Oct. 1665; Hannah, 27 Nov. 1667; William, 7 Feb. 1670; and perhaps others aft. was freem. 1670; and Coffin says was tak. at sea, perhaps sev. yrs. aft. by some Barbary corsair, no doubt, and never came back. My suggest. is that he is the h. of that wid. wh. is ment. in the article preced. for sometimes the name is Wallingford. WALLIS, or WALLACE, GEORGE, a youth of 15 yrs. came in the Abigail, from London 1635, perhaps s. of Ralph, wh. came at the same time; in Dec. 1656 was of Rumney Marsh, part of Boston now Chelsea, there had good est. may have ben f. of the foll. GEORGE, Portsmouth, [[402]] m. 18 Nov. 1686, Ann, perhaps d. of Richard Shortridge, was of the gr. jury that yr. JOHN, Woburn, d. 8 Aug. 1670. JOHN, Scarborough 1658, perhaps in the Ind. war was driv. to Gloucester, there was liv. 1678, d. 1690. NATHANIEL, Scarborough, perhaps br. of John, was from Cornwall, constable for Falmouth, and sw. alleg. to Mass. 1658; but in July 1660 had three ch. bapt. by Robert Jordan, wh. adher. to the ch. of Eng. in that her lowest hour of distress, and was censur. for it, by our Gen. Ct. as the col. Rec. IV. shows. I kn. he had w. Margaret, and s. John, wh. may have been one of those bapt. acc. the rubric; and the fam. was driv. to the W. by the Ind. war, and he sat down at Beverly, call. hims. 58 yrs. in 1692, and d. 18 Oct. 1709, and his wid. d. 14 May 1711, aged more than 80. Shurtleff has print. the name as represent. on the rec. by hte wild hand of the clk. but in Hutch. Coll. 398, and Paige's list of Freemen, I imagine we have the true one. * NICHOLAS, Ipswich, s. of Robert, m. a d. of Humphrey Bradstreet, had Samuel, prob. others bef. or aft. or both, was freem. 1674, and rep. 1691. RALPH, came in the Abigail from London 1635, aged 40, perhaps bring. s. George, at least, we kn. that a youth with that name was fell. passeng. RICHARD, Saybrook 1659, rem. next yr. to Norwich. ROBERT, Ipswich 1638, had Nicholas, perhaps more. THOMAS, Freem. of Mass. 1643, with prefix of respect, yet may inq. for his resid. is not successf. WILLIAM, Charlestown, adm. of the ch. 30 Nov. 1642, of wh. no more than Budington's copy of the copy of that rec. (the orig. being lost) is kn. to me; yet I see that somebody of this surname at C. had a ch. b. a. 1659, tho. the clk. omits name and date. WALSALL, or WALSHALL, WILLIAM, Boston, with his w. were recommend. by the ch. to that of Lynn, 10 July 1647; but of h. of w. I find not, how or when either was recd. of our ch. WALSBY, or WALSBEE, DAVID, Braintree, freem. 1651, by w. Hannah, wh. d. 2 Feb. 1656, had Samuel, b. 9 Apr. 1`651; and David, 1655; and 24 Sept. next yr. m. sec. w. Ruth Ball. DAVID, Boston, s. prob. of the preced. WALSINGHAM, is a fictitious name, I presume, for Francis Johnson of Marblehead, by Farmer adopt. from Dana's Hist. Disc. p. 7. See Johnson. WALSTON, or WALSTONE, JOHN, Killingworth, perhaps s. of Thomas of Hartford, m. 1677, Ann, d. of Benjamin Wright of Guilford, had Thomas, b. 1678; and d. 1680. His wid. m. 7 Nov. 1683, Dr. Peter Tallman of Guilford. THOMAS, Hartford 1644, was fin. 20s. for inveighl. the affections of Mr. Olcott's maid. That prohibit. of law was borrowed by Conn. from Mass. The name seems an unusual one; yet in the Truelove, at London, 1635, the latest ship in that yr. for this [[403]] country, emb. Jane w. aged 19, wh. may have been sis. of the Hartford youth. WALTER, or WALTERS, NATHANIEL, Roxbury, s. of Rev. Nehemiah, ord. 10 July 1734, min. of 2d ch. m. 24 Apr. 1635, Rebecca, d. of William Abbot of Brookline, had Sarah, b. 29 Mar. 1736; William, 7 Oct. 1737, H. C. 1756, the rector of Trinity ch. and aft. of Christ ch. in Boston; Rebecca, 19 Apr. 1739; Nehemiah, 13 June 1741; and Maria, 10 Mar. 1743; and he d. 11 Mar. 1776; and his wid. d. 30 Apr. 1790. NEHEMIAH, Roxbury, br. of Thomas, b. at Youghall in Ireland, had tradit. says he was sent by his f. to be apprent. to an upholsterer inBoston in 1674, but H. C. 1684, ord. 17 Oct. 1688, collea. with blessed John Eliot at first ch. freem. 1690, m. 1691, Sarah, third d. of Rev. Increase Mather, had Increase, b. 8 Oct. 1692, H. C. 1711, d. at 26 yrs.; Sarah, 4 Mar. 1695; Thomas, 13 Dec. 1696, H. C. 1713; Hannah, 8 July 1699; Nehemiah, 22 Apr. 1701, d. within a yr.; Maria, 4 Aug. 1703; Nehemiah, again, 17 Sept. 1705, d. young; Samuel, 24 July 1710; and Nathaniel, 15 Aug. 1711, H. C.1729; was an able man, d. 17 Sept. 1750, and his wid. d. 1758. Sarah m. 25 Sept. 1723, John Walley; Hannah m. 18 Sept. 1718, Rev. Caleb Trowbridge of Groton as his sec. w. THOMAS, Boston, a lawyer, said to have sprung from Lancashire, but sett. at Youghall in Ireland, where his s. Nehemiah was b. 1663, wh. he brot. a. 1678, and 2 Nov. 1680 join. Mather's ch. He had sec. w. Abigail, wid. of David East, formerly wid. of Jonathan Woodbury, d. of Henry Phillips, as the pedigree in Gen. Reg. VIII. 209 shows, and by her had Nathaniel, b. 30 Jan. 1688; and Abigail, wh. it is said, m. 18 May 1721, Benjamin Wolcott; and d. bef. Dec. 1698. THOMAS, Falmouth, is by Willis I. 215, said to have come wiht w. Hannah, a. 1682, from Salem,where he was mariner, and sett. at Perpooduck, wh. is now the town of Cape Elizabeth lying across the riv. from Portland, and he adds, that his w. was 25 yrs. old at that date; and further, that his s. William 1732 liv. in Boston, in a deed convey. his f.'s prop. at Falmouth, call. hims. "s. and only heir." But he errs in mak. the late Bp. W. of this stock. THOMAS, Roxbury, s. of Rev. Nehemiah, ord. 29 Oct. 1718, collea. with his f. m. 25 Dec. foll. Rebecca, d. of Rev. Joseph Belcher of Dedham, had Rebecca, b. 1722; and he d. of consumpt. 10 Jan. 1725 hav. much disting. hims. in his short serv. WILLIAM, Boston 1674. Sometimes this name of wh. six, Farmer says, had been gr. in 1834 at Harv. one at Yale, and two at other N. E. coll. had final s. WALTERS, JACOB, and STEPHEN, whose ws. Sarah and Sarah join. the Charlestown ch. 1681 and 2, acc. Budington, 250, seem to me, more truly, as Frothingham, 183, call. Waters, wh. see. [[404]] WALTHAM, * HENRY, Weymouth merch. by his business relat. I judge he was from Weymouth, in Co. Dorset, engag. 1635, with Dudley and others, to promote fishing trade, rep. 1636, had Henry, Thomas, William, Ann, and Phillis, prob. all b. in Eng. d. 29 Jan. 1659, unless this were his s. of the same name. HENRY, Weymouth, s. of the preced. may have had Jonathan, and other ch. * THOMAS, Weymouth, s. of Henry the first, was rep. 1636. WILLIAM, Weymouth, br. of the preced. fin. by Gen. Ct. for drunk. 1639, and d. next yr. unm. it is presum. for his will of 3 Nov. 1640, the day of d. mak. f. his Excor. pro. 30 Dec. next, names no w. nor ch. tho. we are indebt. to it for kn. of the f. and brs. and sis. Oft. it is Walton in the rec. but that in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 349, call. him s. of William, may be a mistake of the bapt. name as well as spell. of surname. WALTON, GEORGE, Exeter 1639, had been fin. for swear. 1638, as our Col. Rec. I. shows; was of Dover 1648, was a vintner, 1662, at Portsmouth, had George, b. 1649; Shadrach, 1658; Dorcas; Mary; and perhaps other ch. by w. Alice; and d. 1686, at the neighbo. town of Newcastle, or Great isl. aged more than 70. His relig. was not suffic. in his old age, to protect him from diabolic. disturb. in 1682, or wh. in Mather's Magn. VI. 69, some triffing report may have seen, but it is slightly shorten. from his f.'s Remarkab. Providences. Similar occur. in the same yr. at the same neighbor. are relat. in the next. artic. in both works. Much of the same wretched stuff in the Magnalia, was by the s. borrowed from the same storehouse. In a London publicat. LITHOBOLIA, or the stone-throwing Devil, of wh. the Library of Harv. Coll. possess. an orig. copy as may be read, 1698, reprint. as the first article in New York Hist. Magaz. for Nov. 1861, the childish credul. of both f. and s. is outdone. Yet the incidents so exact. concur. and even the phraseol. of not a few of the tales so near. corresponds, that rashness will not imput. to the surmise, of assist. by either Increase or Cotton in supervis. the MS. of this tract, for certain. one (if one, both) enjoy. perusal of it, soon aft. it came from the press; and it was the proper nutrim. for their credulity. HENRY, Boston, by w. Mary, had Job. b. 29 Sept. 1639; Adam, 8 May 1643; William, 29 Sept. 1645. JOHN, Portsmouth 1640, had come, a. 1638, from Plymouth, in Eng. and aft. liv. here about 20 yrs. was sent by our Gen. Ct. home for his w. in the voyage ws tak. by the Dutch, and d. soon aft. JOSIAH, Marblehead, youngest s. of Rev. William, a. petitnr. in 1668, was prob. unm. a mariner, struck by lightning 23 June 1673, at sea, made nuncup. will, as Essex Inst. II. 126 gives. NATHANIEL, Marblehead 1658, s. of Rev. William, was there much esteem. freem. 1680. SAMUEL, Marblehead 1668-74, s. of Rev. William, is by Eaton, nam. among the early sett. at Reading. * SHADRACH, Newcastle, N. H. s. of George, was, in 1689, aft. overthrow of Andros, desir. of union betw. Mass. and N. H. a capt. and major, in Ind. war; engag. in the campaign of 1707 for conq. of Nova Scotia; made a royal counsellor 1716, d. 3 Oct. 1741, aged 83. He was f. of George; Benjamin, H. C. 1729; Elizabeth; Abigail; Sarah; and Mary. * THOMAS, Weymouth, s. I suppose, of the first Henry, rep. 1636. WILLIAM, Marblehead 1639, had been bred at Emanuel Coll. Cambridge, where he took his degr. 1621 and 1625, and was, no doubt, ord. and serv. at Seaton, Co. Devon, where it is kn. that sev. of [[405]] his ch. were b. came in some sh. earlier than his common. been thot. at least drew for houselot at Hingham, 18 Sept. 1635, and was freem. 3 Mar. foll. was but few yrs. at H. prob. longer at M. certain. in 1648, perhaps at Lynn a short time a. 1642, and may have taught for most of his latter yrs. part of ea. season, perhaps at Manchester, to wh,. he was activ. as a propr. of Jeffery's cove, in bring. the governm. to gr. incorp. 1645, and d. in autum 1668; inv. of his est. was tak. 23 Nov. of this yr. and he had allowance for his min. serv. up to that time at Marblehead. His w. was Elizabeth ch. b. in Eng. were, as is said, John, 6 Apr. 1627; Elizabeth 27 Oct. 1629; Martha, 26 Apr. 1632; and at H. was Nathaniel, 3 Mar. 1636; and at M. were Samuel, 5, bapt. 20 June 1639; Josiah 20 Dec. 1640, bapt. 2 Jan. foll.; and Mary, 14, bapt. 26 May 1644. Elizabeth m. a Conant; Martha m. a Munjoy, perhaps Walter; and Mary m. Robert Bartlett. Mather spelt this, in his list of min. of the first classis, Magn. III. 3, Waltham, and his authority (suppos. he must sometimes be right) I prefereed to Johnsons's in my note to Winthrop I. 169, for wh. Dr. Farmer admin, gentle rebuke. Increase Mather relat. in Remark. Providence. the d. of Josiah by lightning, spells the name correctly, as I now have. WALVER, ABRAHAM, H. C. 1647, is all that can be told of this man on our side of the Atlantic. He went home, and was min. in the shire where his fam. friends liv. as Hutch. I. tells. WALWIN, THOMAS. See Wallen. WALWORTH, WILLIAM, New London 1691, with w. Abigail, came from Eng. on invit. of Gov. Fitzjohn Winthrop, to manage his farm on Fisher Isl. and Martha, bapt. 24 Jan. 1692; Mary; John; Joanna; and tw. ch. Thomas and James. he d. 1703, and his wid. surv. until 14 Jan. 1752. WAMPAS, JOHN, Boston, an Ind. wh. has sev. conveyances of ld. in Boston 1657-68 WANDELL, THOMAS, Newtown, L.

WANNERTON, THOMAS, Portsmouth, Kittery, and anywhere along shore, where drink was easily got, a milit. offic. in serv. of Mason, sent prob. in 1633, when his Gov. Neal was req. to go home; but he was also one of the patentees in the Laconia gr. perhaps had no w. or ch. yet honor. with agencies of Mass. 1641 and 2; and was k. 1644 in a wild [[406]] affray growing out of the rivalry of La Tour and D'Aulney, the French govs. See Winthrop II. 178,. WANTON, EDWARD, Boston, ship-carpenter, had Edward, b. 1658; and Margaret, 1661, d. young; in this yr. rem. to Scituate, there had, by sec. w.

WAPLES, WHAPPLES, or WHAPLES, THOMAS, Hartford 1643, was still therein the list of freem. 1669, but nothing more is to be found of him, exc. that he d. 10 Dec. 1671, leav. wid. and seven ch. whose ages and names appear next mo. at the Prob.

WARD, * ANDREW, Watertown, freem. 14 May 1634, rem. to Wethersfield next yr. and with Ludlow, and others, ahd commissn. from Mass. to gov. the people at Conn,. 1635, for one yr. yet in the docum. in our Col.

His wid. d. 16 July 1726. JAMES, Ipswich, s. of Rev. Nathaniel, b. in Eng. prob. at Stondon, Co. Essex, of wh. his f. was incumb. bred at Harv. Coll. where he was unfortun. in receiv. punishm. by whipp. at the hds. of the [[408]] Pres. in June 1644, and more unfortun. in deserv. the disgrace, yet thot. worthy to have his degr. of A. B. next yr. This strange event is told by Winthrop II. 166, without giv. names, wh. are found in the very valua. Hist. of Newbury, by Coffin, 41. His assoc. in the infamy of the juvenile offence, was a s. of Rev. Thomas Welde. He went home, soon aft. prob. with his f. wh. procur. favor for him at Oxford, where he was in 1648, made a fellow of Magdalen, and had a master's degr. and in 1649, an M. D. JOHN, Ipswich, physician, had perhaps liv. in Boston, for a mortg. to him of est. rec. here Vol. X. 233, titles him now of Ipswich, chirurg. and the date is 9 Oct. 1652. His Excor. Robert Paine sold, Dec. 1677, the Boston est. to William Hudson. He perhaps resid. at Hampton 1640, some time at Salem,, was cous. of Rev. John, and that benefact. of Harv. Coll. ment. by Pierce, 35; also, I presume, the freem. of 1643; in his will of 28 Dec. 1652, pro. on new. yrs. day, 25 Mar. 1656, speaks of no. w. or ch. [See abstr. in Essex Inst. I. 50.] His benefaction to Harv. Coll. was realiz. in 1658, as the invaluab. History, by Quincy, shows us: "obtained in horses L72." See I. 513 of that work. JOHN, Haverhill, elder br. of James, b. at Haverhill in Co. Suffk. 5 Nov. 1606, as Mather tells, III. cap. 31, or p. 167 in the London ed. of Magn. Yet "where his educ. was, I have not been inform." he says, "the first notice of him that occurs to me, being in the yr. 1639, when he came over into these parts." In Eng. I found that he was matric. at Emanuel, 1622, and had his A. B. 1626, and A. M. 1630. He had begun his serv. in Eng. "at a very small place" wh. was Hadleigh in Co. Suffk. and in this country, preach. first at Kittery or York in 1641, as Winthrop II. 29 relates, but Mather, wh. loves always to be indefinite, and sometimes hides his ignorance under periphrasis, would magnify his watch over the flock at H. to "as many yrs. as there are sabbaths in the yr." We kn. that he was chos. and ord. in Oct. 1645, when the ch. was gather. Winthrop II. 252; and that flock he could, of course, serve but 48 yrs. He d. 27 Dec. 1693; and could the truth ever be sufficient for the author of the Magnalia, he might have call. it a very honor. and protract. course of duty. On 19 Nov. preced. he preach. an excell. sermon, enter. the 88th yr. of his age, "the only sermon that ever was. or perhaps ever will be preach. in this country, at such an age," adds the eclesiast. historian, tho. since that day sev. more aged pastors have in like kind, obey. their call. He was prob. the freem. of 3 May 1649, By his w. Alice Edmunds. brot. from Eng. wh. d. bef. him, he had Elizabeth b. 7 Apr. 1647, wh. m. 1665 Nathaniel Saltonstall, and d. 29 Apr. 1714; and Mary, 24 June 1649, m. e June 1672, Rev. Benjamin Woodbridge, and d. 11 Oct. 1680. JOHN, Newton, s. prob. eldest of William of Sudbury, b. in Eng. a. 1626, m. a 1650, Hannah, d. of [[409]] the first Edward Jackson of the same, had Hannah; John, b. 26 Jan. 1654, d. in few mos.; Rebecca, 15 June 1655; John, again, 8 Mar. 1658; Elizabeth 18 June 1660; Deborah, 19 July 1662; William, 19 Nov. 1664; Richard, 15 Nov. 1666; Mercy, 27 Jan. 1669; Edward, 13 Mar. 1671; Eleazer, 26 Feb. 1673; Jonathan, 22 Apr. 1674; and Joseph, 15 Nov. 1677.

Hannah m. 8 June 1670, Thomas Greenwood; Elizabeth m. 7 June 1679, Joshua Fuller; and Deborah m. 2 Feb. 1682, John Wythe. JOHN, Newport, came late in life, aft. hear. of d. of his s. Thomas, as inconsisit. tradit. tells, prob. a. 1690, took charge of his gr. childr. and d. says the gr.-st. in Apr. 1698, aged 79. Possib. he had serv. fifty-five yrs. bef. in the Parlim. army in the gr. civil war, and that was the origin of the fable as to Thomas. But Thomas d. at mid. age, and as the sacred tradit. of serv. in Cromwell's army belongs to him, and not his f. it will be seen that he was not old eno. to be a powder monkey to the gr. Protector. JOHN, Branford, a serg. s. of the wid. Joyce W. was rep. 1666, may have been there many yrs. and one of the signers of the new planta. and ch. covenant, Jan. 1668; by w.

Hannah, d. of William Flint, had beside three ds. one nam. Hannah, wh. respective. m. a Pitman, perhaps Thomas, of Marblehead; a Collins, of Salem; and a Moses; Two s. Joshua or John wh. was k. in youth by a cartwheel, and Miles, b. 11 Mar. 1672, the progneit. of the num. fam. of that name in that city; and was lost a. 1678, in a fishing shallop. His wid. m. a Keyzer, perhaps George. JOSHIAH, Branford 1660, drew a lot that yr. and perhaps was s. of George of the same. JOSHIAH, Branford, s. of John, car. by his f. to Norwich, there d. 1713. LAWRENCE, New Haven 1639, or soon aft. rem. to Branford 1646, was br. of George of thee same, in 1661 was employ. by the governm. of New Haven to search for the Regicides, Whalley and Goffe, at Milford, where it was prob. kn. they were not to be seen; rep. 1665 and 6, aft. wh he rem. to N.

MARMADUKE, Newport, there in 1638, adm. freem. 1640, and among them 1655. MILES, Salem 1639, from Erith in Kent, few miles below London, on the Thames, and only two from Crayford, came with w. Margaret, had there bapt. a ch. whose name is not giv. in the rec. perhaps Joshua, b. 25 Apr. 1641; John, 26 Dec. 1641; Lydia, 1647; and Martha, 11 Mar. 16349; and he d. 1650. His inv. was tak. in Sept. but he d. in Virginia, 3 Mar. Lydia m. 12 1665, Robert Glanfield; and Martha m. 2 Dc. 1668, the sec. Pasca Foote. MILES, Salem, s. of Joshua of the same, m. 1694; and Sarah, d. of John Massey, sometimes call. but falsely, the first b. male of that city, had, beside others, Joshua, b. 15 Aug. 1699; John, 27 Nov. 1701, d. under 2 yrs.; Miles, 18 Apr. 1704; John, 7 July 1707; and Ebenezer, 10 Apr. 1710 (this last had ten ch. and from him descend. the late Thomas W. Ward); and nineteen grew up to be m. as he boasted, and ch. and gr. ch. were 91; and his w. d. 20 Nov. 1728. He had for sec. w. Sarah, d. of William Ropes, and d. 20 Aug. 1764, aged 92 yrs. His wid. d. 7 Feb. 1768, aged 85. NATHANIEL, Ipswich, came in 1634, was b. 1570 at Haverhill in Suffk. where his f. John was a min. in high esteem by the Puritans of Elizabeth's day, bred at the Univ. of Cambridge, where he was [[411]] mataric. of Emanuel Coll. 1569, and proceed. A. M. 1603, serv. as curate at St. James, Duke's place, London, first, and soon aft. had the living of Stondon Massey's in Co. Essex, where he was resid. when recommend. for the serv. of the Gov. and Comp. of Mass. Bay in 1629, by the Rev. John White of Dorchester, our effic. friend. But he was not at liberty to leave his flock, until he was driv. from his place, where a new rector was induct. Aug. 1633. Greatly was he honored here, in 1639 unit. with Cotton to frame a body of laws, to wh. prob. he was in some degree equal, as Mather tells us, in a few lines with wh. he begins his life of the s. John, he had first been a student of the law. Yet he was more extensive, kn. by his wit. in the over flow of wh. he produc. the Simple Cobler of Agawam, wh. by its humor almost compensates for his asperity. He preach. the sermon for the gen. election, 1641, and was very judicious in dissuad. our governm. from taking side in the strange contest betw. La Tour and D'Aulney 2 yrs. later; went home bef. 1647, and preach. to the Ho. of Commons, on the month. fast, 30 June in that yr. obtain. the living of Shenfield in Essex, where he d. 1653. Most clear. did his independ. shine at that day of trouble, for he publis. that sermon, when Parliament was afraid to. Against the arrogant claim of the army, that early in the mo. usurp. control of the person of the k. then conduct. a treaty with Parliam. in whose custody he was, Ward. support. with abundant spirit the legal power of that body to make a thoro. pacificat. Such a bold vindicat. the Commons of Eng. dared not print. Of his fam. our acco. is imperf. but of his s. John and James eno. is bef. ment. and his d. Susan m. famous Giles Firmin. NATHANIEL, Hartford 1638, an orig. propr. was held in respect, m. prob. for sec. w. Jane, wid. of John Hopkins, but aft. some yrs. disgusted with the ch. quarrels, rem. to Hadley 1660, there, by special delegat. of author. to Pynchon and Holyoke from our Gen. Ct. he and the other Conn. emigr. were adm. freem. 26 Mar. 1661, and he d. May 1664, leav. no ch. His will of 27 May in that yr. gives of his good est. above one half to William Markham, a kinsman, residue to Hadley sch. and sev. friends and relatives. *OBADIAH, Sudbury 1654, b. in Eng. s. of the first William, rem. to Marlborough 1662, by w. Mary, m. a. 1667, had Alice, b. 14 Nov. 1668; William, 7 Jan. 1670; Obadiah, 18 Sept. 1672; Bethia, 1674, d. soon; Mary, 4 May 1676; Jane, 1677; Edmund, 21 Jan. 1679; Sarah, 29 Jan. 1681; Richard, 26 Apr. 1683; Elizabeth 4 Dec. 1685; Hannah, 3 Jan. 1688; Eleazer, 2 Nov. 1689; and Prudence, 1691; was rep. 1689, and d. 5 Jan. leaving sec. w. Joanna, m. 20 Dec. 1693, as the fam. report is, d. of Isaac Mixer, and wid. of Joseph Harrington, wh. outliv. him. But I am convinc. that the Ward Family, p. 12, has here fallen into error, for on p. 23 it makes Obadiah, s. of Richard, m. on the same day, [[412]] the same Joanna, that, on the former page, was giv. to his uncle of the same name. OBADIAH, Sudbury, s. of Richard of the same, m. 20 Dec. 1693, Joanna, the young wid. of Joseph Harrington, d. of Isaac Mixer, had Richard, b. 1694; Obadiah, 1695; Hannah, 1696; Daniel, 1700; Sarah, 1701; Dorinada or Dorinda (if either be not too absurd a name), 26 Nov. 1702; Uriah, 23 Dec. 1704, k. by the Ind. at Rutland, in garrison, 3 Aug. 1724; Isaac, Mar. 1707; and Thankful, 15 Feb. 1712; rem. 1716 to Worcester, there d. 17 Dec. 1717, in his will of the preced. day, prov. Joanna to be his wife, not his uncle's giv. only to his two oldest ch. portions of his prop. and residue to his w. at her discret. for the other ch. The wid. liv. with s. Isaac in Framingham 1725. OBADIAH, Marlborough, s. of the first Obadiah, by w. Elizabeth had Hannah, b. 1704; Jedediah, 14 Apr. 1706; and Jabez, 1707. By sec. w. Elizabeth Flood, m. 12 Dec. 1711, he had Thankful, b. Mar. 1713; Mary, 26 Apr. 1714; Sarah, 6 Mar. 1716; Silence, 28 Sept. 1717, d. at 2 mos.; Elizabeth 16 May 1721, d. in few weeks; and Beriah, 23 Jan. 1726; and d. 14 Mar. 1666. His wid. m. 22 Nov. 1667, Daniel Stone. RICHARD, Sudbury, s. of William the first, b. in Eng. m. 8 Sept. 1661, Mary Moore, had Obadiah, b. 10 Dec. 1663; and Lydia, 16 Mar. 1665; was drown. 31 Mar. 1666. His wid. m. 22 Nov. 1667, Daniel Stone. RICHARD, Newton, s. of the first John of the same, m. 15 Dec. 1690, Thankful, d. of Trowbridge, the first of the same, had Lydia, b. 13 Aug. 1692; Thomas, 8 Jan. 1694. James, 6 Jan. 1696, d. soon; Hannah, 13 May 1697; William, 12 Sept. 1699; James, 14 Aug. 1701; Ephraim, 1703; and Margaret, 28 Feb. 1706; was selectman and rep. sev. yrs. d. 27 Mar. 1739, and his wid. d. 1742.

He was Gov. of the Col. 1741 and 2, d. 21 Aug. 1763; and his wid. d. 1767. ROBERT, s. of the wid. Joyce of Wethersfield, nam. in her will Nov. 1640, but of wh. no more is kn. by me, unless he be the Robert of Boston wh. by. w. Sarah had Hannah, b. 6 May 1660. ROGER, by the diligent Farmer adm freem. of Mass 1637, must be a supernum. for no such person is found in the rec. of that yr. nor indeed does a single baptismal Roger turn up. SAMUEL, Hingham 1636, cooper, freem. 9 Mar. 1637, was rep. that yr. in Nov. and the next in Mar. made town clk. 1646; may have been f. of Henry, and perhaps had more ch. I presume he is the benefactor [[413]] wh. gave to Harv. Col. the island lying off the harbor of Hingham, call. Bunkin's of Ward's island, and h e may be the same that liv. 1658-77 at Charlestown, and d. there, 31 Aug. 1682, aged 89, wh. as Noahdiah Russell in his Diary tells, gave L4. to the Coll. See Geneal. Reg. VII. 57. His wid. Frances, wh. was not his first w. d. 10 June 1690, aged 83. SAMUEL, Marlborough, s. of William of the same, b. prob. in Eng. took o. of fidel. 1652; was capt. and rep. 1679 and 80; m. 6 June 1667, Sarah, d. of John Howe of the same, had Sarah, b. 22 Apr. 1668; Joseph, 1670; Elizabeth 1672; Mary, 1676; Samuel, Mar. 1678; Bethia, 25 May 1681; and Daniel, 1687, d. at 13 yrs. and his w. d. 11 Aug. 1707. His will of 22 May 1727, near 2 yrs. bef. his d. was disput. by the heirs on acco. of most of the est. being giv. to s. Samuel. He had sec. w. Elizabeth wh. outliv. him. Conject. is wholly unable to explain, wh. she was. SAMUEL, Fairfield, among the freem. in the list of 1669, s. of the first Andrew, and d. bef. 1693, leav. wid. Hannah, and ch. Edmund, Samuel, and ds. Hannah, and Sarah, if not more. His wid. had been w. of Jonathan Nichols of Stratford, and was not mo. of any of these ch. SAMUEL, Branford, freem. 1668, m. 1658, Mary Carter, was not of the number wh. rem. to N. J. as he is found at B. 1679. SAMUEL, Marblehead, freem. 1665, serg. next yr. lieut. 1670, capt. 1679, m. prob. for sec. w. Sarah, wid. of Mr. Richard Hubbard of Ipswich, d. of Gov. Bradstreet, and he d. a maj. in the expensive and fruitless crusade of Phips against Quebec, in 1690. SAMUEL, Boston, a cooper whose orig. in unkn. to me, m. 10 Dec. 1691, Mary, wid. of Ephraim Sale, had Joanna, b. 31 Oct. 1692; Mary, 27 Nov. 1694, prob. d. soon; Samuel, 22 June 1696; and Mary again, 19 Nov. 1699. His will of 4 Oct. 1701, pro. 17 Sept. 1702, gives L3. to ea. of his brs. John and Thomas, a silver spoon to ea. of the ch. of his w. by her former h. two thirds of his est. and residue to Joanna, so that we may be sure she was the only surv. of his own four. SAMULE, Marlborough, s. of Samuel of the same, was perhaps the freem. 1691, when it was desirable to make a show of names; by w. Mary had Ephraim, b. 26 June 1705; Absalom, 20 Sept. 1706; Tamar, 11 Feb. 1708; Samuel, 11 Jan. 1710; Ursula, 23 Aug. 1711; Uriah, 2 Aug. 1716; and Benjamin, 10 Nov. 1719; and d. 27 Feb. 1738. His wid. d. 17 Jan. 1758. THOMAS, Hampton 1639, had prob. come in 1630, and serv. that yr. on the inquest relat. to d. of Bratcher, caused by blows from Walter Palmer, freem. 18 May 1642, when the name is spell. Worde, not as Farmer says 1635, had perhaps other ch. beside Mary, b. a. 1652, wh. m. John Dearborn, and d. 14 Dec. 1725. THOMAS, Milford 1657. THOMAS, Newport, s. of John, came aft. 1690, from Gloucestersh. as is said, had serv. as the most ridiculous tradit. tells, in Cromwell's army, for its crowning serv. was [[414]] render. on 3 Sept. 1651, in the dreadful field of Worcester, bef. he was eleven yrs. of age; was a Bapt. freem. 1671, chos. an Assit. 1679, when he was only 38 yrs. old, and the progenit. of the disting. family of W. in that State. He d. 25 Sept. 1689, hav. made his will, 9 June 1683, wh. was pro. 2 June 1690. In it names ch. Thomas, Margaret, and Mary. By his first w. he had two ds. only, Mary, wh. m. Josiah, s. of Gov. Benedict Arnold, Margaret, wh. m. Robert Weightman, and d. 26 Sept. 1728, aged 57, neither of wh. left issue that liv. to be m. and by sec. w. he had two s. only, Thomas, b. a. 1683, and Richard, 15 Apr. 1689, wh. bec. the Gov. of the Col. That he was freem. of Portsmouth 1655, might be seen on p. 300 of R. I. Col. Rec. but that surname is a mistake for Waite, as Stiles copied it neatly a century bef. His wid. Amy or Ammi m. Arnold Collins, and d. 11 Jan. 1732. Thomas the s. d. 22 Dec. 1695, aged 12 yrs. and the fam. name was perpet. by the s. not nam. in the testament. THOMAS, Middletown, eldest s. of William by his sec. w. m. 6 Dec. 1683, Hannah, d. of James Tappan. He had sec. w. Elizabeth m. in 1714, and d. 2 June 1728. WILLIAM, Sudbury, came in 1639, with five ch. prob. John, b. a. 1626; Joanna, a. 1628; Obaddiah, a. 1632; Richard, a. 1635; and Deborah, a. 1637; and sec. w. Elizabeth had b. here, Hannah, a. 1639; William, 22 Jan. 1640; Samuel, 24 Sept. 1641; Elizabeth 14 Apr. 1643; Increase, 22 Feb. 1645; Hopestill, 24 Feb. 1646; Eleazer, a. 1649; and Bethia, a. 1658; was freem. 1643, rep. 1644; rem. 1660 to Marlborough, and was rep. 1666; was deac. at the first organiz. of the ch. and d. 10 Aug. 1687. He made his will, 6 Apr. the yr. bef. and his wid. d. 9 Dec. 1700, aged 86. WILLIAM, Wetheresfield, s. of the wid. Joyce W. of wh. no more is kn. than the ment. in the will of his mo. Nov. 1640, unless, wh. is not very prob. he be the freem. of Fairfield 1657-1669, wh. perhaps was s. of the first Andrew. WILLIAM, Fairfield, s. of the first Andrew, had good est. and his only heir was his wid. Esther, wh. m. 1678, Ebenezer Hawley, was an ens. and the inv. bears date 4 Mar. 1676. WILLIAM, Middletown, perhaps s. of the wid. Joyce, by w. Sarah had William, b. 24 June 1659, d. young; as did the mo. soon; and he m. 28 Mar. 1660, sec. w. Phebe, by wh. he had Thomas, 7 Feb. 1661; Phebe, 17 Mar. 1663; William, again, 2 Aug. 1665; Sarah, 18 Dec. 1667; Ann, 20 Mar. 1670; Dorothy, 5 Mar. 1672; Susanna, 6 June 1674; and John, 12 May 1678; and d. 28 Mar. 1690. His wid. d. 1 Sept. 1691. At the date of his will, 25 Dec. 1688, all the eight last b. ch were liv. Sarah m. 14 June 1688, Benjamin Hands. WILLIAM, Marlborough, s. of the first William, m. 4 or 6 Sept. 1679, Hannah, d. of Solomon Johnson, wid. of Gershom Eames, not d. as the Memoir in Geneal. Reg. V. 271, gives it, had William, b. 27 May or Mar. as the valuab. Ward Family, [[415]] p. 14, says, 1680; Bethia, 1682; Nahum, 18 Dec. 1684; Elisha, 12 Jan. 1687, k. by the Ind. in his 23d yr.; Bathsheba, 16 May 1689, d. young; and Gershom, 3 Jan. 1694; and d. 25 Nov. 1697. His wid. d. 8 Dec. 1720. WILLIAM, Newton, s. of John of the same, and gr.s. of the preced. m. 31 Dec. 1689, Abigail, d. of lieut. John Spring, had John, b. 23 Feb. 1691, was freem. 1690, and selectman sev. yrs. but rem. as Jackson thinks. late in life. WILLIAM, Marlborough, eldest s. of the first Obadiah, by w. Judith had William, b. 9 June 1691; Jemimah, 5 July 1693; Gamaliel, 2 Oct. 1694; Jacob, 9 Mar. 1697; Judith, 6 Mar. 1700; Keziah, 4 June 1703; and Dinah, 2 Oct. 1704; rem. in few yrs. aft. to Conn. three d. 8 Jan. 1731, and his wid. d. 21 Jan. 1746. Of this name Farmer in MS. finds fourteen among gr. at Harv. five at Yale, and nine at other N. E. coll. 1834. WARDALL, WARDHALL, WERDALL, WARDEL, WOODEL, or WARDELL, sometimes WARDWELL (and Farmer thinks the last form may be the most correct), ELIAKIM, Hampton, s. of Thomas, m. Lydia Perkins, was a favorer of Quakers, so far as to show his hospitality, for wh. he was abused, as is seen in the Hist. of Sewel, Lond. 4 to d. p. 330. Of his w. is told in the County Ct. rec. May 1663, the surpris. extravag. behav. in going naked into the meeting ho. at Newbury, for wh. she was whipt, and this seems to have led Bishop, in his New Eng. Judged, to more surpris. vindicat. of her. See in Coffin's Hist. 66. ELIHU, Hampton, s. of William of Boston, m. 26 May 1665, Elizabeth Wade, perhaps d. of Jonathan, had Elizabeth b. 15 Dec. 1666; Elihu, 2 Jan. 1669; Prudence, 6 Oct. 1670; Jonathan, 26 July 1672; and Susanna, 9 Aug. 1684. Part of his life was, I think, spent at Ipswich. JOSEPH, Lynn, 1669. SAMUEL, Andover, s. prob. of William, m. 9 Jan. 1673, Sarah Hawkes, prob. as sec. w. by the former or the latter may have had Mercy, wh. m. 31 Aug. 1697, John Wright; and Elizabeth wh. d. 9 Sept. 1675. He was execut. 1692, for the damnable or preposterous crime of witchcraft. Under the parlysis of fear his moral power had yield. to the falsehood of confess. of guilt, but on the approach of execut. was happy eno. to recover sense, and retract the folly. Farmer says he had Samuel, William, and Eliakim. THOMAS, Boston 1634, perhaps br. of William, a shoemaker, adm. of the ch. 9 Nov. of that yr. and freem. 4 Mar. foll. by w. Elizabeth had Eliakim, bapt. 23 Nov. 1634; Martha, b. Aug. bapt. 3 Sept. 1637; Benjamin, b. Feb. 1640; and Samuel, 16 May 1643; but the last two were not bapt. at Boston, on acco. of thee heresy or rem. of f. and d. 10 Dec. 1646. He was disarm. Nov. 1637, as a supporter of Wheelwright, yet in Jan. 1639, as they had long bef. rem. to Exeter, was recommend. from our ch. with eight others to "the ch. of Christ at the falls of Piscataqua, if they be rightly gathered," and in 1643 had commiss. from Mass. Ct. to try small causes there. Perhaps he was of Ipswich 1648. UZELL, Ipswich 1673, carpenter, s. of William of Boston, m. 3 May 1664, Mary [[416]] Ring, had Abigail, b. 27 Oct. 1665; Alice, 27 Dec. 1670; Hannah; and Mary, Sept. 1677. He sold est. in Boston 1673. WILLIAM, Boston, on adm. to the ch. 9 Feb. 1634, call. "one of our br. Edmund Quincy's serv." with wh. he came prob. the yr. bef. by w. Alice had Meribah, b. 14 May, bapt. 25 June 1637; Usal, Usual, Uzal, Usewell, Uzell, or other outlandish name, 7 Apr. 1639, not bapt. at B. bec. the f. had gone to Exeter, in disgust for being disarm. Nov. 1637, as being one of the friends of Rev. John Wheelwright, yet was, by our ch. recommend. to the ch. there; came back bef. long time, and had Elihu, bapt. 5 Dec. 1641, tho. the poor copy of town rec. makes him. b. Nov. 1642; Mary, bapt. 14 Apr. 1644, a. 9 days old; and Leah, b. 7 Dec. 1646; in each instance the name in town rec. being Werdall. He m. for sec. w. 5 Dec. 1657, Elizabeth wid. of John Gillet, or Jillet, and had Abigail, b. 24 Apr. 1660. His wid. Elizabeth was liv. 1673. Of the contr. of m. betw. h. and w. and construct. of same by the Ct. during the life of the parties, see. Geneal. Reg. XII. 275. WILLIAM, Wells 1649, then sold wine, sw. alleg. to Mass. 5 July 1653. WARE, HENRY, Dorchester, rec. as townsman, Dec. 1668, on a certific. from the Gov. of being allow. to settle in Mass. JOHN, Dedham, s. of Robert of the same, m. 10 Dec. 1668, Mary, d. of Michael Metcalf, had John, b. 17 June 1670; Eleazer, 13 July 1672, d. soon; Eleazer, again, perhaps d. soon; perhaps Eleazer, again, so rec. at Wrentham, 28 Sept. 1676; but his w. d. prob. bef. he rem. from D. and by a sec. w. Joanna he had m. at D. Jan 1680, had Joseph, 2 June 1681; but the town rec. disagr. with fam. geneal. for that latter makes the last named d. b. 1681, and the s. 1682; and the town rec. proceeds with Mary, 15 Nov. 1684; and Zechariah, next day wh. d. soon; and Benjamin, 8 July 1688; while the fam. geneal. throws in d. Hannah 1686, yet the town rec.of her is 24 Sept. 1687. He went to Wretham aft. he was freem. 1677, and was rep. for W. 1689. JOSEPH, Salem 1682. PETER, York, a rep. 1665 and 9, is by me thot. to have wrong spell. of this name in our Rec. and to belong to the fam. of Weare. ROBERT, Dedham 1643, m. Margaret, d. of John Hunting of D. had John, bapt. 11 Oct. 1646, but Geneal. Reg. VI. 146, says b. 6 Oct. 1648; Nathaniel, bapt. 1 Oct. 1648, tho. in that geneal. said to be b. 7 Oct. 1650; Robert, b. 1 Aug. 1653; Esther, 28 Sept. 1655; Samuel, 30 Sept. 1657; Ephraim, 5 Nov. 1659; and Ebenezer, 28 Oct. bapt. 3 Nov. 1667; was of ar. co. 1644, freem. 1647, and d. 1699. His will of 25 Feb. pro. 11 May, provid. for w. Hannah, and equal portions to ea. ch. exc. larger to John, is abstr. in Geneal. Reg. VI. 146; but the laborious collector must be in error is assum. that his was the Robert impress. for serv. in Philip's war. We can have no doubt, that it was his s. of the [[417]] same name. Each of the ch. lov. to gr. age. The wid. d. at Dorchester ( or, at least was bur. there), 20 Apr. 1721, aged 84. Esther m. 13 May 1673, Rev. Samuel Mann of Wrentham, where, also, others of the fam. liv. ROBERT, Wrentham, s. of the preced. serv. in Dec. 1675, under Mosely in Philip's war, n. 4 June 1677, Sarah, d. of Michael Metcalf, had Robert, b. 6 Dec. 1680; Michael, 11 June 1683; Margaret, 6 June 1685; Jonathan, 28 Feb. 1687; Sarah, Mar. 1689; and Esther, 7 May 1693; and was freem. 1681. Prob. the w. and nine ch. giv. to him in Geneal. Reg. VI. 147, may belong to his s. of the same name. SAMUEL, Boston, adm. of the first ch. 28 Feb. was freem. in May 1675, of wh. no more is kn. and that may seem strange to cursory readers of N. E. affairs. Perhaps he perish. in Philip's war that yr. perhaps he rem. soon. WILLIAM, Dorchester 1643, ar. co. freem. 10 May of the same yr. but when he came, or how, is not told. Yet that he brot. fam. is sure; rem. within ten yrs. to Boston, was a shoemaker, and d. 11 Feb. 1658, leav. wid. Elizabeth and ds. Elizabeth w. of John Gill, mariner. and Sarah, w. of Edward Grant, shipcarpent. Abstr. of his will of 26 Mar. 1656, pro. 1 Apr. 1658, may be seen in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 353. WARFIELD, JOHN, Medfield, freem. 1682, of wh. I find no more, but that he had been of Dedham more than 40 yrs. bef. and had m. Hannah, d. of Robert Randall of Weymouth, wh. in his will of 27 Mar. 1691, remembers her, as then of Mendon. WARHAM, JOHN, Dorchester, came in the Mary and John from Plymouth 1630, having been a min. at Exeter in Co. Devon, where capt. Roger Clap, wh. in his humble, but invalu. tract, gives the best acco. of him, had in his youth, heard his teaching; yet we kn. not, at wh. of the univ. he was bred, if at either, tho. so much may be presum. as he was episcop. ord. At Plymouth, bef. embarc. he with an elder br. in the gospel, Rev. John Maverick, and many of their fellow passeng. had formed a strictly congregatio. ch. He was sw. a freem. 18 May 1631, and the w. wh. he brot. d. 1634, without having ch. as is believ. Ano. w. Abigail, m. a. Oct. 1662, wid. of John Branker, outliv. him, and d. 18 May 1684, but she was not the mo. of his four ds. for her former h. did not die bef. 1662. He was with the body of his ch. rem. 1635 to Windsor, and there officiat. till his d. 1 Apr. 1670, tho. for near six yrs. preced. a dissatisf. party of the worshippers had desired the serv. of a younger preach. From the whole page of Magn. III. 121, it is found that he was afflict. with melancholy in his latter days, and earlier had deliv. sermons from notes; but betw. these two distinguish. traits of his life, no connex. is pretended by the profound author. His d. Abigail, bapt. at W. 27 May 1638, n. Oct. 1658, Thomas Allyn; [[418]] Sarah, b. 28 Aug. 1642, m. 11 May 1664, Return Strong, and d. 26 Dec. 1678; and youngest d. Esther, bapt. 8 Dec. 1644, n. Rev. Eleazer Mather of Northampton, and next Solomon Stoddard, and bore ch. to ea. Of the sec. d. Hepzibah, bapt. 9 Aug. 1640, rept. of her d. 1647 is furnish. The mo. Jane, wh. he m. at W. no doubt, tho. date is not found, nor parent, d. at Norwalk, 23 Apr. 1645, says the Parson's transcr. of Windsor rec. in Geneal. Reg. V. 363, tho. we might be sure this is wrong, for the town of N. was not sett. for more than four yrs. later. She d. Apr. 1655. WILLIAM, Newbury, whose name, says Coffin, is sometimes Worm, and he adds that he m. 10 Feb. 1682, Hannah Adams, d. of the first Robert, had Paul, b. 2 Oct. 1683. WARNER, ANDREW, Cambridge 1632, freem. 14 May 1634, rem. to Hartford with the body of orig. proprs. but wether Hutch. I. 99, be justif. in mak. him, with Ludlow and other Commissnrs. to gov. the people under Mass. as Farmer quotes him, is to me doubtful. See our Col. Rec. I. 171, where the last of the eight do honor. is Andrew Ward, but in the repetit. of the names in the same instr. becomes Warner. In 1659 he rem. with a new w. Esther, wid. of Thomas Selden, wh. brot. him no issue, to Hadley at its first settlem. was liv. to take the o. of alleg. at H. 8 Feb. 1679, and d. 18 Dec. 1684, or possib. the month foll. aged almost 90. Of his ch. nine in number, we kn. neither the mo. nor order of succession, nor dates, exc. of Isaac, by approxim. a. 1645. The others were Andrew; Mary, wh. prob. was b. in Eng. m. first, 1645, John Steele, jr. of Hartford, wh. d. 1653, and next William Hills; Ruth, ano. d. m. a Pratt; Daniel; Robert; John; and Jacob. Of his wid. Esther, the inv. was tak. Dec. 1693. ANDREW, Middletown, s. of the preced. left Abigail, b. 3 Sept. 1660; Andrew, Mar. 1662; Mary, Apr. 1664; Hannah, 14 Nov. 1668; John, 8 Apr. 1671; Joseph, 20 Feb. 1673; and Rebecca, 12 July 1675; and he d. early in 1682. He may have liv. first at Milford, where Lambert gives resid. to one of the same name 1653. His wid. wh. n. Jeremiah Adams, was Rebecca, d. of John Fletcher, m. 1653, had first Samuel, b. Aug. 1659, d. soon; also John, Sept. 1667, d. in few days. DANIEL, Ipswich 1639, s. of William of the same, and brot. prob. by him, freem. 2 June 1641, by w. Elizabeth had Simon, b. 6 June 1658, d. in few days; but prob. sev. earlier; and his w. d. 1 Nov. 1659. He m. 1 July foll. Faith Brown, wh. d. 10 Nov. 1679; and had brot. him Daniel, b. 25 Aug. 1671; Sarah, 22 Oct. 1672; and Rebecca, wh. d. 10 June 1679; but perhaps others earlier. He m. third w. 1 June 1686, wid. Ellen Jewett of Rowley, and d. 9 Sept. 1688; leav. wid. Ellen, and ch. Daniel, John, William, perhaps Nathaniel, Elizabeth Abigail, Susanna, beside Hannah, w. perhaps of John or Joshua Batchelder. DANIEL, Farmington. s. of the first John of [[419]] the same, was engag. with sev. of the inhab. of F. 1673 in project. settlem. of Mattock, now Waterbury, but d. a. 1680, leaving Daniel, b. a. 1677; John, a. 1671; Abigail, a. 1673; Samuel, a. 1675; and Thomas, a 1677. Wh. was his w. is unkn. but she was d. DANIEL, Hadley, in that part wh. bec. Hatfield, s. of the first Andrew, by first w.

His w. d. the same day, and he next m. 1 Apr. 1674, Martha, d. of Robert Boltwood, and by her he had Hannah, b. 24 Jan. 1675; John, Apr. 1677; Abraham, 20 Dec. 1578; Samuel, 13 Apr. 1680; Ebenezer, 5 Nov. 1681; Mehitable, 1 Oct. 1683; Elizabeth; Esther, 15 Dec. 1686; Martha, 3 Apr. 1688, d. young; and Nathaniel, 15 Oct. 1690. He d. 30 Apr. 1692; and his wid. d. 1710.

John and Philemon Dane. DANIEL, Ipswich, s. of the first Daniel, by w. Dorcas had Dorcas, b. 7 Dec. 1700, d. next mo. and he d. 20 Jan. 1754. ELEAZER, Hadley, s. of the first John, n. 27 May 1689, Esther Taylor, had Esther, b. 3 Aug. 1692; Eleazer, 29 July 1694; Stephen, 3 Nov. 1698; Mary, 30 Oct. 1699; Joanna, 22 Sept. 1706; and Ruth, a. 1712; and he d. 8 May 1729, aged 66. His wid d. 18 Dec. 1748, aged 82. GABRIEL, Boston, by w. Mary, had Ann, b. 3 Dec. 1681; and Joseph, 22 Nov. 1685; perhaps rem. but whither, or whence he came, or of what descent, are all unkn. GEORGE, New Haven, d. in May 1681, by his will of 2 May in that yr. naming only Edward and George, his s. in O. E. By his inv. of June foll. amount to L36. 2s. 8d. it may seem, that he was only a transient inhab. ISAAC, Hadley, s. of the first Andrew, n. 31 May 1666, Sarah, d. of Robert Boltwood, had Sarah, b. 2 May 1668; Isaac, 13 Jan. 1670; Mary, 6 Jan. 1672; Andrew, 24 Feb. 1673; Hannah, 14 Nov. 1674; Ebenezer, 1676; Daniel, 25 Feb. 1678; Samuel, 14 Mar. 1681; Ruth, 18 Oct. 1682; Mercy, 25 Sept. 1685; Ichabod; Lydia; Thankful; and Mehitable.

JOHN, Ipswich, s. of William, brot. by him prob. for it is said he was b. a. 1616, or he may as well seem to be that passeng. emb. at London in the Increase 1635, aged 20, wh. m. 1655, Pricilla, d. of Mark Symonds, was one of the first sett. a. 1670 of Brookfield, then hav. ch.

On the destr. of B. in Philip's war, he found refuge at Hadley, where Mark had sett. bef. and Mehitable d. 12 June 1678; and he prob. d. there. JOHN, Providence 1637, m. Pricilla, d. of Ezekiel Holliman, and perhaps his only ch. one of the orig. purch. from the Ind. of Shawomet, of whom Samuel Gorton was chief, and was involv. with him in the violent proceeding of Mass. against that humble col. brot. prisoner to Boston, in Oct. 1643, but was set at liberty in Mar. aft. and in 1652, hav. differ. with Gorton, Holden, Greene, and Potter, old friends, was indulg. with leave to ship hims. and fam. for Eng. from any of the ports of Mass.

III. 274 and Winthrop II. 147 and 8. Such tyran. acts did not prevent him from desir. to come back from Eng. but the fam. tradit. is, that the vessel in wh. he was emb. for his ret. perish, with all on board. He left here only Rachel, wh. was them a babe, m. 16 Nov. 1669, Abel Potter; and John, b. 1 Aug. 1645, with Susan and Mary, were carr. to Eng. whence John alone came back, being sent for by gr.f.

JOHN, Farmington, had been of the early sett. of Hartford, n. 1649, Ann Norton, d. of the first Thomas; freem. 1664, as was JOHN jr. of the same town soon aft. both names being in the list of 1669. The sen. went in 1673, to view Matatock, to ascert. if it were desirable to plant there. He was, Hinman days, p. 90, a soldier in the Pequot war, d. 1679, leav. wid. Margaret and s.

JOHN, Warwick, s. of John of the same, was bd. apprentice to William Field for 7 yrs. from 1 Aug. 1659, m. 4 [[421]] Aug. 1670, Ann, of the great heretic Samuel Gorton, had John, b. 5 June 1673; Ezekiel; Ann; and Priscilla; and d. 9 May 1712.

He was freem. 1683, and d. 15 Jan. 1713, aged 64; [[422]] and the wid. d. 18 Mar. 1729, aged 66. Both were bur. at H. PHILEMON, Ipswich, perhaps s. of Daniel the first, m. 27 Apr. 1690, Abigail Tuttle, had Philemon, b. 7 Jan. 1698; and Daniel, 20 May 1699. RALPH, Dorchester, adm. inhab. 11 July 1664; but no further ment. is found of him, unless as to me seems prob. he were of Newton, L. I. in few yrs. ROBERT, Middletown, s. of Andrew the first, was freem. 1657, rep. 1663, 4, 5, by first w. Elizabeth Grant, n. Feb. 1655, had Samuel, b.

Deliverance, wid. of John Rockwell, had Ruth, Nov. 1675; Bethia, 8 Oct. 1680; and Samuel, 9 or 19 May 1683. He d. 10 Apr. 1690; and his wid. m. a Bissell, as from the indistinct. express. of Geneal.

He was freem. 1675. SAMUEL, Springfield, or Hadley, by my conject. is the man assoc. with Thomas Parsons, in votes for reimburs. to them by our Gen. Ct. Vol. V. 58 and 75, for cattle tak. by a commiss. for the use of troops in 1675, as I judge. SETH, Middletown, s. of Robert, m. Mary Ward, whose f. is not seen, had Mary, b. 1 Dec. 1687; Robert, 22 June 1692; Samuel; and Seth, 29 July 1705; and d. 28 Nov. 1713. His wid. d. 17 July 1729. THOMAS, Wells, wh. took the o. of alleg. to Mass. 1653, may be the same wh. in 1639, had been fined [Rec. I. 270] for a quarrel with Richard Rodman; and perhaps was the fisherman wh. d. at Boston 1660. THOMAS, Norwalk, sold 1 Sept. 1665, his ho. and lds. says Hall, wh. tells no more; and I conject. that he was k. by the Ind. at Hatfield, 19 Oct. 1675, prob. a soldier. THOMAS, Waterbury, s. of the first John of Farmington, by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 1680; Mary, 1682; Martha and Thomas, tw. 1687; Samuel, 1690; and Margaret, 1693; and he d. 1714.

Hannah, m. 1667, had William, b. 1672; John, 1676; Daniel, 1680; Abigail, 1683, d. soon, Abigail, again, 1685; beside Hannah, perhaps the first b. was deac. and d. 28 Feb. 1714; and his wid. d. 3 Mar. aft. Twelve of this name had been gr. at Yale, two at Harv. and eight other N. E. coll. in 1834, as Farmer notes. WARR, ABRAHAM, Ipswich, as print. in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 165, must be abbrev. of Warren. [[423]] WARREN, sometimes spelt WARIN, or WARINS, ABRAHAM, Salem 1637, was of Ipswich 1648, where he d. 1654, his will of 22 Apr. in that yr. (Essex Inst. I. 10) ment. d. Sarah, and wid. not her mo. ARTHUR, Weymouth, was in Mar. 1638, charg. with keep. comp. with the w. of Clement Briggs, and in June foll. she was enjoin. not to come into his comp. but this does not. of necessity, prove any guilt, and soon after he m. and had Arthur, b. 17 Nov. 1639; Abigail, 27 Oct. 1640; Jacob, 26 Oct. 1642; and Joseph, whose date of b. is not mark. nor is d. of the f. ascert. He was one of the petitnrs. 1645, for gr. of the Narraganset ld. suppos. to be forfiet. by the heresy of Gorton, Holden, and thee others just proprs. Abigail m. a Wright. ARTHUR, Chelmsford, perhaps s. of the preced. m. Abigail, d. of John Rogers of Billerica, and d. 25 Apr. 1671. His will of 7 Mar. preced. speaks of w. and ch. and the young wid. d. 15 June foll. Her will, casual. burnt in Oct. was pro. 13 Nov. next. BENJAMIN, Plymouth, s. of the first Joseph, m. 1697, Hannah Morton, had Benjamin, b. 1698, d. young; Abigail, 1700; Hannah, 1704; Nathaniel, 1706; Benjamin, again, 1709; and Pricilla, 1712. By sec. w. Esther Cushman, d. or wid. of unkn. Cushman, m. 1716, h had Joseph, and Mary, wh. prob. both d. young, and he d. 1745. DANIEL, Watertown, s. of the first John, b. in Eng. m. 10 Dec. 1650, Mary, eldest d. of Ellis Barron, had Mary, b. 29 Nov. 1651; Daniel, 6 Oct. 1653; Hannah; Sarah, 4 July 1658; Elizabeth 17 Sept. 1660; Susanna, 26 Dec. 1663, d. under 15 yrs.; John, 5 Mar. 1666; Joshua, 4 July 1668; and Grace, 14 Mar. 1672. He sw. fidel. 1652, was selectman betw. 1680 and 98, twelve yrs. Mary m. 29 May 1668, John Child, and next, 13 Apr. 1677, Nathaniel Fiske; Hannah m. 24 Sept. 1675, David Mead; Elizabeth m. 6 Dec. 1681 Jonathan Tainter; and Grace m. 20 Jan. 1691, Joseph Morse.

Josiah, 25 July 1695; Jonas, 30 Apr. 1697; Deliverance, 10 Oct. 1699; and Mary, bapt. 2 May 1703. He was oft. selectman, rep. 1701. EPHRAIM, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had sarah, b. 10 Aug. 1685, but no more is kn. of him. HUMPHERY, a man of wh. no more is heard, but that in 1678 he was nam. by the crown with Edmund Randolph and some of the princ. gentlemen, to take the Gov's. o. of alleg. as told by Hutch. I. 330, of wh. the Gov. inform. the Gen. Ct. that in Aug. he perform the duty as in Col. Rec. V. 191. Perhaps he was nothing but an official and soon went home. JACOB, Chelmsord, freem. 1674, perhaps was one of the first sett. at Plainfield a. 1700, or it may have been a s. of the same [[424]] name. James, Kittery 1656 or earlier, then had gr. of ld. was of the gr. jury 1666, liv. in the upper part, wh. bec. Berwick, made his will 9 Dec. 1700, which was pro. 24 Dec. 1702, names w. Margaret, s.

Edward Dotey, had John; Edward; both d. young; Sarah; Alice; Patience; James, b. 1700; Hope; Mercy; Mary; and Elizabeth of wh. the last three d. unm. He was gr. f. of the emin. James, Presid. of Mass. Counc. 1779. JOHN, Watertown, came prob. 1630, in the fleet with Sir Richard Saltonstall, then aged a. 45, and hav. w. and ch. (four certain. are nam. in his will, and of them only Elizabeth could be b. here.). There may have been others, but no rec. of b. or d. is found. He was adm. freem. 18 May 1631, chos. selectman 1636-40. Late in life he fell under the censure of the laws, unwisely levelled at dissent. from the relig. course of the major part of the inhab. and Bond informs us of proceedings against him in 1651, 4, and 61; but he d. in peace, 13 Dec. 1667, aged 82. His w. Margaret d. 6 Nov. 1662. She was prob. the mo. of all his ch. John, b. 1622; Mary; and Daniel, b. 1628; beside Elizabeth wh. n. a. 1654, James Knapp. Mary m. 30 Oct. 1642, John Bigelow. He had good est. in lds. in W. His will of 30 Nov. 1667, names the four ch. and Mary, w. of Daniel, gr.ch. Daniel W. and Mary Bigelow. JOHN, Watertown, s. of the preced. prob. the freem. of 1645, n. 11 July 1667, Michael, d. of Robert Jennison, wid. of Richard Bloise of the same, had Margaret, b. 6 May 1668; Sarah, 25 Jan. 1671; Elizabeth 8 July 1673; Mary, 25 May 1675; John, 21 May 1678; Grace, 12 Mar. 1680; and Samuel, 23 Jan. 1683; was a capt. and .d 1703. His will of 12 Jan. of that yr. was pro. 22 Feb. foll. It names all the v\ch. exc. Sarah, wh perhaps d. young. Elizabeth m. 18 Oct. 1705, Daniel Harrington, and Mary m. 30 Dec. 1698, Joseph Pierce. JOHN, Ipswich 1654. JOHN, Boston, tobacconist, or cardmaker, as in the will he is call. by first w. had Joshua; Thomas; Mary, b. a. 1665; and perhaps Sarah; but the name of h is w. is unkn. nor is any b. found on the rec. so that it seems prob. that he had these ch. in ano. town, where the mo. may have also d. I think he was early of Exetere, there m. 21 Oct. 1650, Deborah Wilson, wh. d. 26 June 1668. In 1669, he m. Elizabeth wid. of John Combs, wh. had d. in May of that yr. preced. She had first been wid. of Thomas Barlow. By this w. he had Nathaniel, b. 27 May 1670, and this w. d. next yr. or early in 1672, for in Feb. of this yr. he exhibit. inv. of her goods, and engag. to fulfil her desire towards here three ds. and his s. by hr, in their distrib. to one Barlow, two Combs, and Nathaniel, This s. and Mary Combs, in 1685, chose for their guardian, Joseph Ryall of Charlestown, wh. they call. [[425]] uncle. A third w. Elizabeth brought him Abigail, 10 May 1676; and John, posthum. 10 Feb. 1678. He may have been the freem. of 1670, and d. in July 1677, mak. his will 10, wh. was pro. 31 of that mo. and his wid. 4 Oct. 1681, bec. sec. w. of Samuel Lendall, by contr. of that date, in wh. he provid. good portion for her, as did also her third h. John Hayward, the Not. Pub. to wh. 1685, wh. bec. sec. w. and for her fourth h. she had a rich man, Phineas Wilson of Hartford. Neither of the last three hs. had by her any ch. He seems to have had small est. and in his will is nothing of interest exc. the gift to his s. Joshua, "my engine with wh. I cut tabacco." JOHN, Ipswich 1670, may have been the man at Salem long aft. wh. was a spinner, and in 1685 had loan from the town treas. of £5. to pay his work people. See Felt, Ann. II. 159. JOHN, Watertown, s. of the first Daniel, m. 22 May 1683, Mary, d. of Jonathan Brown of the same, had John, b. 15 Mar. 1685; Jonathan, 26, bapt. 29 Apr. 1688; and Daniel, bapt. 1 Sept. 1689; was ens. freem. 1690, and d. 11 July 1703. His wid. n. 14 Mar. 1704, Samuel Harrington. JOHN, Watertown, s. of John sec. m. Abigail, d. of John Hastings, had John, b. 3. Apr. 1701; Sarah, 20 Sept. 1702; Samuel, 18 Mar. 1704; Thomas, 11 Mar. 1706; and David, 22 June 1708. His w. d. 19 July 1710, and he m. 14 May 1711, Lydia, d. of Nathaniel Fiske, had Benjamin, 4 Apr. 1715; David, 8 Jan. 1717; Abigail, 28 Oct. 1719; Lucy, 26 Oct. 1721; William, 21 Oct. 1723, d. at 15 yrs.; and John, bapt. 1725. He d. next yr. and his wid. m. 17 June 1730, Benjamin Harrington. JOSEPH, Plymouth, s. of Richard, but not eldest in my judgm. tho. so call. in the Warren Genal. that may hav unconsciously been influenc. by the baptismal designat. was not brot. by his mo. from Eng. m. a. 1651, Priscilla, sis. of the famous rul. elder Thomas Faunce, whose f. had been fellow-passeng. with his mo. was held in gr. esteem 1677, rep. by ann. elect. 1681-6, and d. 1689. His wid. d. 1707. Of his ch. it will be very hard to find exact dates of b. but the order is confident. trusted; Mercy, b. 23 Sept. 1653; Abigail, 15 Mar. 1655, d. young; Joseph, 8 Jan. 1657; Patience, 15 Mar. 1660; Elizabeth 15 Aug. 1662; and Benjamin, 8 Jan. 1670. Mercy m. Winsor says, 1674, or 5 Feb. 1675, as the Bradford Geneal. has it, John Bradford, liv. with him near 62 yrs. and d. Mar. 1747. Patience m. 1686, Samuel Lewis, as the name seems prob. to be read, and Elizabeth m. 19 Jan. 1688, Josiah Phinney. It is observ. that his male descend. since the fourth generat. are confin. to those of his gr.-gr.ch. Benjamin. Joseph, Plymouth, eldest s. of the preced. m. 1692, Mehitable Wilder, had Joseph, b. 1694; and Priscilla, 1696; and he d. the same yr. JOSEPH, Roxbury, housewright, sec. s. of Peter of Boston, m. Deborah, d. of Samuel Williams of Roxbury, had Samuel, b. 13 Aug. 1694, d. in few days; Joseph, 2 Feb. [[426]] 1696; Ebenezer, 26 Jan. 1699; Sarah, 27 July 1702; John, 18 Sept. 1704; and Hannah, 31 Mar. 1707; and he d. 13 July 1729. His wid. d. 6 Oct. 1743. In the Geneal. of Warren, print. 1854, p. 45, the most sumptous vol. of genealogy ever issued from the press on our side of the water, they are said to have had eight ch. but the rec. contains no more than the above, nor does the pedigree at the opening of the book. In his will of 22 Jan. bef. d. he gives all his real and personal est. to s. Joseph, exc. the household goods giv. to w. orders him to pay her L8. per an. keep a cow for her, find. 2 bls. of cider, and one cord of wood per an. for her, beside the choice of one room in his dw.-ho. during her wid. But of the ch. Samuel and Sarah are not ment. so that I presume the first was d. and the other had got changed into Deborah, wh. is the name marked aft. Ebenezer and John, yet before Hannah, and to ea. of these four, Joseph was direct. to pay £65. He was gr.f. of the illustrious patriot, Maj.-Gen. Joseph Warren, k. at Bunker Hill. JOSHUA, Watertown, s. of Daniel the first, m. Rebecca, d. of Caleb Church of the same, had Lydia, b. 3 Nov. 1696; Joshua, 4 June 1698; Nathaniel, 25 May 1700; Rebecca; Elizabeth 19 June 1704; Abigail, 20 Dec. 1705; Susanna, 2 Feb. 1707; Hannah, 2 June 1708; Prudence, 5 Dec. 1709; Daniel, 28 July 1712; and Phineas, 21 June 1718; and d. 30 Jan. 1760. NATHANIEL, Plymouth, s. prob. elder of Richard, m. 1645, Sarah Walker, as the Geneal. says, and the work names ch. Richard; Jabez, wh. d. young; Sarah, b. 29 Aug. 1649; Hope, 7 Mar. 1651; Jane, 10 Jan. if Col. Rec. be true, or 31 Dec. 1652; Elizabeth 5 Sept. 1654; Alice, 2 Aug. 1656; Mercy, 20 Feb. 1658; Mary, 9 Mar. 1660; Nathaniel, 19 Mar. 1662; John, 23 Oct. 1663, d. young; and James, 7 Nov. 1665; and d. 1667. Very short abstr. of his will is found in Geneal. Reg. VII. 177. His wid. d. 1700. Sarah m. somebody call. Balckwell, unkn. to me; Jane m. 19 Sept. 1672, Benjamin Lombard of Barnstable; Elizabeth m. a Green, but the individ. is unkn.; Alice m. Thomas Gibbs; Mercy m.

PETER, Boston 1659, mariner, purchas. 23 Mar. of that yr. from Theodore Atkinson, dwel.-ho. and ld. m. 1 Aug. 1660, Sarah, d. of Robert Tucker of that part of Dorchester, wh. soon aft. was incorp. as Milton, had John, b. 8 Sept. 1661, d. young; Joseph, 19 Feb. 1663; Benjamin, 25 July 1665; Elizabeth 4 Jan. 1668; these three bapt. 29 May 1670; Robert, 14, bapt. 25 Dec. 1670; Ebenezer, 11 Feb. bapt. 2 Mar. 1673; and by sec. w. Hannah had Peter, bapt. 6 June 1675, d. soon; Peter, again, b. 20, bapt. 23 Apr. 1676; Hannah, b. 19 May 1680, whose bapt. is not found; [[427]] Mary, 21, bapt. 25 Nov. 1683; and Robert, 27 Dec. 1684, bapt. 4. Jan. foll. but the town rec. blunders the name of the mo. into Abigail. He had third w. Esther, whose name was, but whether as wid. of maid. is uncert. Woodward, rec. into the third ch. 11 Oct. 1687, as had been the first w. 22 May 1670, and the sec. 30 Apr. 1675. He d. 15 Nov. 1704, by his will of 20 June 1700, provid. for w. during wid. not otherwise, yet making her joint excor. with s. Joseph, and nam. other ch. only Ebenezer, Peter, Robert, and Hannah. I find no later acco. of any of them exc. Joseph, bef. ment. RALPH, Salem 1638, of wh. Felt could tell no more than that a gr. of ld. was that yr. confirm. to him. RICHARD, Plymouth 1620, came in the Mayflower, leav. w. Elizabeth and five ds. to come in the third sh. 1623, d. 1628, hav. no other ch. but those b. in Eng. viz.

Nathaniel, and Joseph, b. here, bef. ment. all liv. in 1650. His wid. wh. join. with the first purch. of Dartmouth, d. 2 Oct. 1673, aged a. 90, says the rec. but fondness for exagger. makes it 93. RICHARD, Plymouth, s. of Nathaniel of the same, perhaps eldest, m. it is said, and rem. to Middleborough, there d. a. 1696, leav. s. James, b. 13 Jan. 1680, at P. wh. had no ch. and Samuel, 7 Mar. 1683, whose progeny is in that neighb. SAMUEL, Watertown, youngest s. of the sec. John of the same, m. 8 Jan. 1707, Lydia Cutting, had Sarah, and Lydia, tw. b. 19 Aug. 1714; Samuel, 19 July 1719; Elizabeth 16 May 1721; Ephraim, 5 Apr. 1723; Nathan, 10 July 1725; John, bapt. 23 Aug. 1727; and Mary, 17 Aug. 1729. He d. 13 Nov. 1759; and his wid. d. 15 July 1766. THOMAS, Salem 1640, a witness to the will said to be the first brot. into Ct. for that shire. THOMAS, Boston, m. 14 Dec. 1694, Sarah Fitch; but as no more is heard of him, I doubt he was only trans. resid. But he may have been a soldier in Mosely's comp. Dec. 1675. WILLIAM, Hartford, freem. 1658, and perhaps was sw. again in 1665, ea. vol. of the Col. Rec. of Trumbull prov. the right, m. Elizabeth d. of John Crow, had two ws. as in his will of 20 Oct. 1689, he tells, without nam. them, assign. to first w. three s. John, William, and Thomas, and to the liv. w. four ch. of wh. Abraham was one. He d. soon aft. for his inv. is of 1 Nov. in that yr. So we may see the wild work of tradit. that he had only Abigail, wh. m. 14 Jan. 1693, Richard Lord, and aft. Jan. 1713 m. Rev. Timothy Woodbridge. His wid. m. Phineas Wilson, a rich merch. it was erron. said, but she was very infirm or insane, and certain. Wilson found a better w. Strangely out of place is the confusion a. the wid. of Phineas Wilson, in the address of Mr. Day, Presid. of the Conn. Hist. Soc. 26 Dec. [[428]] 1843, at the foundat. of thee beautiful edifice for the Wadsworth Athenaeum, title to the realty being deduc. from her. But great uncertainty is found in the identity of the w. of Richard Lord; and aft. large investigat. it is clear, that no derivation from, or connection with, Hartford William can be traced. Certain. thee wid. of Phineas Wilson did not m. Lord, but her d. Abigail did. WILLIAM, Boston, mariner, m. 1 Nov. 1690, Abiel Rogers, had Mary, b. 24 Sept. foll. but he had on 11 June preced. made his will in favor of the mo. and ch. unborn, nam. w. his excor. yet as it was not pro. bef. 10 July 1706, he prob. liv. to near this date, and had no other ch. or went on a voyage and d. aboard. So common. was this name in Eng. diffus. over the E. S. and W. shores, that I can find no proof of connex. betw. the Plymouth , Watertown, and Boston fams. WARRINER, or WARRENER, JAMES, Springfield, eldest s. of William of the same, took o. of alleg. 31 Dec. 1678, or the day aft. m. 31 Mar. 1664, Elizabeth d. of Joseph Baldwin the first of Milford, had Samuel, b. 21 Nov. 1666, d. at 2 yrs.; James, 19 July 1668; Elizabeth 1 Aug. 1670; William, 6 Jan. 1673; Hannah, 15 Feb. 1675; Joseph, 6 Nov. 1677; Samuel, again, 26 Jan. 1680; Ebenezer, 4 Mar. 1682; and Mary, 1 Apr. 1685.

Sept. 1639 for being at excess. drink. at Thomas Gray's, may have been only a trans. person, not inhab. At least no more is heard of him. WILLIAM, Springfield, freem. 2 May 1638, m. 31 July 1639, Joanna Searl, as Mr. Boltwood reads thee name, d. of John, as he thinks, but Mr. Judd is sure the name was Scant, had James, b. 21 Jan. 1641; Hannah, 17 Aug. 1643; Joseph, 6 Feb. 1645; and his w. d. 7 Feb. 1661.

THOMAS, Bridgewater, br. of the preced. had two ws. Deliverance, d. of Samuel Packard, and Abigail, d. of Jacob Leonard. Mitchhell arranges these ws. in differ. order from me, but his informat. was not exact, and even for the ch. he had no more happy source for gather. their names, Nathaniel, Thomas, Timothy, Hepzibah, Patience, Deliverance, and Elizabeth than the will of their f. 1729. WILLIAM, Stratford, rem. prob. with s. John to Hempstead, L. I. Farmer notes, that in 1834, two had ben gr. of this name at Harv. two at Yale, and twelve at other N. E. coll.

Hist. Coll. X. 169, shows him to have been a clerg. serv. as curate at C. and that on hear. of d. of br. of his w. by wh. est. came to her, he went home, had six more ch. was sch.-master some time, and min. at the Bocking, Co. Suffk. eject. by the Act of Uniform. 1662, and d. at the age of almost 80, in the yr. 1679 or the next. WATERMAN, JOHN, a passeng. in the Jonathan, arr. at Boston 1639, of wh. I kn. no more but that his pass. was paid by Peter Noyes of Sudbury, and therefore we may suppose him a serv. JOHN, Marshfield, s. of Robert of the same, m. 7 Dec. 1665, Ann, d. of Samuel Sturtevant, [[432]] had Samuel, b. 16 Oct. 1666; and Elizabeth 15 Jan. 1669; Ann, 1671; Lydia, 1678; Robert, 1681; and John, 1685.

JOSEPH, Providence, perhaps s. of Richard of the same, m. 17 Dec. 1669, Lydia Olney of the same, prob. d. of the elder Thomas, possib. of the younger Thomas. NATHANIEL, Providence, eldest s. of Richard, own. alleg. to k. Charles, 31 May 1666, m. 14 Mar. 1663, Susanna Carder, prob. d. of Richard, had Richard; Benjamin; Nathaniel, wh. acknowledg. alleg. 29 May 1682; Daniel; and Bethia; liv. thro. Philip's was without leav. the town, and had his reward. RESOLVED, Providence, br. of the preced. own. alleg. to Charles II. on the same day; by w. Mercy, youngest d. of blessed Roger Williams, had Richard, John, Resolved, Waiting and Mary or Mercy. His wid. m. Samuel Winsor, and next John Rhodes. RICHARD, Salem, came in the fleet with Higginson 1629, sent by the Gov. and Comp. as an expert hunter, and he k. a wolf in July 1632, had Nathaniel, bapt. 20 Aug. 1637, and two other ch. in July 1638, whose names do not appear, as the f. had bec. hertic, and in Mar. of that yr. had liberty to follow Roger Williams to Providence, and there was nam. thee twelfth among the grantees of his settlem. Prob. Joseph, and certain. Resolved were also his s. and perhaps he had more; ds. were Mehitable and Waiting. Disagree. with some of William's friends, he join. Holden, Gorton, and others, tho. he did not rem. with them, wh. purch. from Miantonomo, planting place on the W. shore of Narraganset, now Warwick, and suffer. by monstrous injustice from Mass. in 1643. Yet, tho. some of his est. was confisc. at the Court in Oct. 1643, he got off better than most of his fellow misbelievers wh. narrow. escap. sentence of death, still he was bound to appear in May foll. See Winthrop II. 146-8. At the Gen. Ct. in May next "being found erroneous, heretical, and obstinate, it was agreed that he should be detain. prisoner till the Quarter Ct. in the 7th mo. unless five of the magistr. do find cause to send him away; wh. if they do, it is order. that he shall not ret. within this jurisdict. upon pain of death," as the Col. Rec. II. 73 says; as also Felt's Ann. II. 579; but in his Eccles. Hist. I. 558, the tender heart of the writer prevail. over his judgm. to suppress the last words. Yet even an Ecclesiast. Hists. should not be afraid of the truth. He was ch. offic. of the milit. call. col. and d. 28 Oct. 1673. His wid. mo of the ch. Bethia, d. Dec. 1680. Mehitable m. a Fenner. Of the tradit. of his coming in the Lion with Roger Williams Feb. 1631, no respect is felt, but its orgins may easily be referr. to the subordinate truth that he [[433]] was one of the first sett. at Providence, with R. W. tho. he was earlier than him at Salem. ROBERT, Plymouth 1638, had been at Salem 1636, m. at Marshfield, 9 or 11 Dec. 1638, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Bourne, and rem. to M. had Joseph, b. 1639; John, 1642; Thomas, 1644; Robert, a. 1652; and Joseph; was rep. 1644-9, and d. Sept. 1652, tho. Deane says 1665. ROBERT, Hingham, prob. s. of the preced. m. 1 Oct. 1675, as Hobart says, but town rec. 30 Sept. Susanna, d. of Daniel Lincoln, had Susanna, b. 4 May 1677; a ch. b. and d. 4 Feb. 1681; Elizabeth 18 Aug. 1682, d. at 13 yrs.; Robert, 14 Nov. 1684, d. at 19 yrs.; Josiah, 28 Nov. 1687; and a ch. wh. d. 24 Sept. 1694, too young to have a name; and his w. d. 10 Feb. 1696. He m. 20 Feb. 1699, Sarah, wid. of Thomas Lincoln, d. of James Lewis of Barnstable, had Lydia, 13 May 1700; Thomas, 19 Jan. 1702; and Hannah, 22 May 1704; and his w. d. 30 Jan. 1732. He d. 18 May 1741, aged 88. THOMAS, Roxbury, br. of Robert of Plymouth, had w. Hannah, wh. d. 5 June 1641; unit. with petitnrs. in 1645 for right from Mass. to plant at the settlem. of Warwick, whence the heretic inhabs. of wh. his namesake Richard ws one, had been forcib. eject. and he d. 22 Jan. 1676, unless the town rec. wh. contains the notices of d. of both, and no account of m. or b. may be design. for differ. persons. Farmer, MS. makes a Thomas of Hingham 1679, to be only s. of the preced. but I fear he mistook the name of the f. THOMAS, Newport, among the freem. adm. 1655, was of Wickford 1674. THOMAS, Saybrook, by Miss Caulkins conject. s. of the preced. bec. one of the first sett. of Norwich, there em. Nov. 1668, Miriam, d. of lieut. Thomas Tracy. He was ens. and propound. for freem. 1671, h ad ten ch. as in the valu. Hist. of N. p. 114 is told; but the fair writer gives only the three s. Thomas, b. Sept. 1670; John, Mar. 1672; and Joseph, 15 Jan. 1685. Names are heard of five others, Elizabeth b. Aug. 1675; Miriam, Apr. 1678; Martha, 6 Dec. 1680; Lydia, Aug. 1683; and Ann, Apr. 1689. Elizabeth m. 10 July 1695, capt. John Fitch of Windham. Of this name, Farmer found in 1834, three had been gr. at Harv. four at Yale, and five at other N. E. coll. WATERS, ANTHONY, Hempstead, L. I. was town clk. 1663, favor. the jurisdict. of Conn. and it may be that he had gone from Conn. to promote annex. BEVIL, Hartford, found in the list of freem. 1669, had good est. d. 14 Feb. 1730, says the gr.-st. in 97th yr. Wh. was his first w. and mo. of his ch. is not kn. but when 92 yrs. old, he took ano. w. 13 Dec. 1722, Sarah, wid. of Joseph Mygott. His will of 1 Feb. 1721 ment. Thomas, d. bef. his f. and ds. Sarah, wh. m. 10 Feb. 1698, Joseph Benton; Hannah m. 1708, Wilterton Merrills; Mary m. 1711, Thomas Seymour. EDWARD, New Haven, took o. of fidel. 1647; and one of [[434]] the same name liv. at Westchester 1663. EZEKIEL, Salem, s. of Richard, had Samuel, b. 3 Sept. 1673; Mary, 19 Apr. 1676; Elizabeth 4 Aug. 1678; Ezekiel, 1 Aug. 1680; Sarah, 9 Aug. 1682; Joyce, 9 Mar. 1684; Susanna, 1 Jan. 1686; Elias, 11 may 1688, wh. d. next mo.; Ebenezer, 26 Oct. 1690; and Martha, Oct. 1692. JACOB, Charlestown, had w. Sarah, wh. join. the ch. there 12 Nov. 1682, and of wh. I find no more. JOHN, Boston, came with Winthrop 1630, I suppose, for he and w. Frances are among the very early mem. of our ch. Nos. 23, and 4, and d. since is add. to the first copy of rec. He was from Neyland, in Co. Suffk. was a serv. of the Gov. wh. in letters to his w. the first autumn after arriv. ment. his loss. See Appx. A. to his Hist. Nos. 47 and 49. JOHN, Milford 1658, if Lambert be correct; but no more is found of him, not even his name among freem. of 1669. JOHN, Salem, perhaps s. of Richard of the same, m. 1 Aug. 1663, Sarah, d. of John Tompkins of the same, had Richard and John, b. last of June foll. and both d. in few days; John, 4 July 1665; Sarah, 30 Aug. 1667; Richard, again, 13 Nov. 1669; Nathaniel, 6 Feb. 1672; Samuel, 29 Mar. 1674, d. in few wks.; Samuel, again, 6 May 1675; and Elizabeth 10 Jan. 1678. He was call. Aug. 1692, witness against George Jacobs. His will of 14 Feb. 1707, was pro. 1 Mar. 1708. JOSEPH, New Haven 1649, aft. 1653, prob. rem. to Milford, at least had gr. of ld. in that town 1656 and 9; but no more is heard of him. JOSEPH, Boston, m. 13 Sept. 1655, Martha, d. of Oliver Mellows, and no more is told of him. LAWRENCE, Watertown, 1634 or earlier, by w. Ann, d. of Richard Linton, had Lawrence, b. 14 Feb. 1635; Sarah, 7 Dec. 1636; Mary, 27 Jan. 1638; Rebecca, Feb. d. 1 Mar. 1640; Daniel, 6 Feb. 1642; in 1638, he or his w. or both, were warned for hav. danced, and may have been induc. to rem. early to Lancaster, where the high authty. of Willard makes him build the first ho. in that settlem. See Centenn. Celebr. 75. There prob. he had, Bond thinks, Joseph, Ephriam, Jacob, and Rachel; was blind in 1676, but happily rem. bef. the Ind. whirlw. fell on L. and resid. at Charlestown, there d. 9 Dec. 1687, aged near 85. Adam his s. d. 15 Sept. 1670 at Charlestown. Lawrence, Boston, s. of the preced. by w. Hannah, had Joseph, b. 14 Oct. 1663; Hannah, 26 Jan. 1666; Jonathan, 2 May 1671, d. young; Jonathan, again, 3 Oct. 1674; and Stephen, 3 Apr. 1677; was freem. 1663; and d. 1693. RICHARD, Saelm 1637, a gunsmith, had a ch. bapt. prob. John, 29 Nov. 1640; Elizabeth 26 Feb. 1643, d. unm. at 20 yrs.; Abigail, 18 May 1645; Ezekiel, 4 Apr. 1647; Susanna, 1 Apr. 1649; and Hannah, 30 Jan. 1653; tho. in whose right the act was admin. does not so well appear, as the adm. of Joyce, wh. may have ben his w. is by Felt insert. under 1641. That w. I presume to be the person made by Farmer a man (GEORGE), [[435]] and by him enrol. of the ch. 23 May 1641. Such error is not so ludicr. as that he commits in mak. our Walter Merry, the shipwright of Merry's point, now the North battery, Merry Waters, as if any Boston puritan two hundred and twenty yrs. since, could have been call. Merry, instead of Sad, Stearn, or Severe. Dearborn, in Boston Notions, 63, foll. the blunder of so high authority. He is mark. by Felt as freem. tho. he omits his name among mem. of the ch. and in my opin. the person so entit. was Ipswich man. He was one of the petitnrs. in 1665 for conciliat. betw. the Col governm. and the crown, and was licensed to sell ale in 1668, and by his will of 16 July 1676, pro. 25 Nov. 1677, mak. w. Joyce extrix. we find other ch. beside the forenam. viz. James, William, Martha, and Mary. Then Abigail was w. of William Punchard; Mary of Clement English; Susanna of Benedict Pulsifer; and Hannah of Joseph Striker. Martha was perhaps unm. and in that instrum. ment. as well as her mo. and infirm. br. William. Perhaps Sarah, wh. m. 26 Feb. 1652, Joshua Ray, and Phebe, wh. m. 11 Oct. 1658, Thomas West, may have been his ds. RICHARD, Ipswich, 1638, was prob. the freem. of 22 May 1639. SAMPSON, Boston 1666, mariner, by w. Rebecca, had Mary, b. 28 Aug. 1667; William, 3 Mar. 1669; John, 2 Jan. 1673; Rebecca, 28 May 1677; Elizabeth 1 Feb. 1683; Sampson, 20 June 1685; and Robert, 5 May 1688; was in 1685, sent out with 40 men, in pursuit of Veal and Graham, pirates on the coast, off New London, says Farmer, in MS. SAMUEL, Woburn, freem. 1684, by w. Mary, had Mary, b. 19 Oct. 1675; Sarah, 15 Jan. 1678; Daniel, 30 Nov. 1679; Samuel, 6 Nov. 1681; Abigail, 29 Nov. 1683; John, 22 Sept. 1685, d. in 4 yrs.; Ephraim, 12 Oct. 1687; John, again, 11 Dec. 1689; Nathaniel, and Daniel, tw. 10 Oct. 1691, both d. soon; Josiah 19 Sept. 1694; and Joanna, 28 Nov. 1696. STEPHEN, Charlestown 1678, perhaps br. of Jacob, had w. Sarah, wh. join. the ch. 26 June 1681; but of him I learn no more. THOMAS, Hartford, only s. of Bevil of the same, m. 19 May 1696, Sarah, d. of the sec. Benjamin Fenn, of Milford, had Mehitable, b. 1697, d. young; Joseph, 1698; Sarah, 1699; Mehitable, again, 1701; Dorothy, 1704; Samuel, 1707; Benjamin, 1709, perhaps d. young; and Abraham, 1712; neither of the last two are nam. in the will of gr.f. while the others liv. all are. WILLIAM, Pemaquid, sw. alleg. to Mass. 1674, and was appoint. constable. WILLIAM, Marblehead 1674, was prob. s. of Richard of Salem, and d. 1684, leav. ch. William, Thomas, Hannah, and Mary. WILLIAM, Boston 1653, of wh. I find no more but that when he made a deed June 1668, he is call. senr. so that it seems prob. there was a junr. WILLIAM, Marblehead, perhaps s. of William of the same, m. 1 Aug. 1686, [[436]] Elizabeth Lattimore, perhaps d. of Christopher. Farmer's num. of gr. in 1834, is two at Harv. one at Yale, and four at other N. E. coll. WATHEN, or WATHIN, EZEKIEL, Amesbury, sw. alleg. Dec. 1677. It may be that he was s. of that John Watten, dec. on whose est. at the Gen. Ct. Oct. 1654, admin. was giv. to capt. Brian Pendleton, "that some course may be taken for relief of his wid." See Col. Rec. III. 366. Pendelton was a selectman of Portsmouth, and Watten was one of the mem. of ch. May 1640. See Geneal. Reg. IX. 180. GEORGE, Salem, reckon. by Felt among mem. of the ch. 1641. THOMAS, Gloucester, was s. of Edmund, d. 1652, had bef. serv. in the civil was under Prince Rupert. The est. of a wid. W. was, it is said, sett. in Essex Co. 1644. WATKINS, DAVID, Stratford, with prefix of resp. upon his inv. 20 July 1688, tho. of no more than L50. left wid. Sarah and one d. only to partake. JOHN, Salem, came a. 1641, and d. in few wks. as Mr. Felt assures me. JOHN, Cambridge 1651. THOMAS, Boston, tobacco maker as he is call. in the deed to him, Oct. 1653 of his est. in B. by Robert Breck of Dorchester; by w.

He was freem. 1660, of ar. co. 1666, had planta. at Kennebeck, wh. he sold 1669, to Thomas Gyles; and d. 16 Dec. 1689. THOMAS, Kennebeck 1665. See Sullivan, 287.

His wid. m. Samuel Whitmore of Lexington. CALEB, Roxbury, s. of John of the same, m. 15 Dec. 1665, Mary, d. of George Hyde, of Boston, freem. 1666, was of Hadley 1668, a sch.-master at Hadley bef. and aft. but soon rem. to Hartford, for many yrs. taught there, and d. says the Coll. Catal. 1725, rather aged. His case affords a perfect example of fondness for exaggera. Hinman, 246 of Ed. I. tells that "he is suppos. to have d. over one hundred yrs. of age," when we find fairly 84 only betw. b. and d. No ch. was liv. perhaps none ever b. to him, so that he gave est. to sis. Dorcas Adams of Ipswich, wh. was older than hims. but w. Mary was made excor. of his will. EDWARD, New Haven, m. 1 July 1653, Grace, wid. of John Walker, had Grace, bapt. some day, but not 31, in Mar. 1653; and John, b. 22, bapt. prob. 28 Sept. 1656. See Geneal. Reg. IX. 363.

RICHARD, Hartford, one of the first sett. tho. not orig. purch. liv. on the S. side of the riv. bef. 1640; was f. of William and Thomas. He had also ds. Elizabeth wh. m.

AARON, Salem, perhaps s. of the preced. freem. 1690, was one of the body of worshippers wh. in Apr. 1693 began the three yrs. labor of compele. the withdraw. of their pastor, unhappy Samuel Paris, for his sad activ. in the delusion of witchcraft, that caused the death of so many of his flock. See Calef, Salem Ed. 123; and 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. III. 169, where is most valua. copy from the rec. of the ch. of the pastor hims. made by Mr Felt, where we must regret what is not a common subj. of compl. that his extr. are too brief. EBENEZER, Hartford, s. prob. of Eliezer, had w. Irene, and I kn. no more of him. ELIEZER, Hartford 1666, had suit in Mass. as early as 1657, against Thomas Purchase of Kennebeck. See our Col. Rec. IV. p. 334. He was propound. for freem. May 1669, had good est. at H. for we learn form the very curious addr. of Mr. Day on the Wadsworth Athenaeum, [[440]] that the edifice was erect. on the ld. by Thomas Welles in Feb. 1667, convey. to Way, and by him held to his d. 12 July 1687, and in 1696, assign. to Ebenezer, his only ch. b. at H. 4 Nov. 1673, by w.

GEORGE, Dorchester, s. prob. of Henry the first, had div. in neck lds. now South Boston, 1637, aft. at Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 19 Mar. 1651; and as no more is heard of him at B. it seems to me prob. that he was of Providence soon aft. there bound hims. in alleg. to Charles II. 31 May 1666. George, Saybrook and Lyme, m. Elizabeth only d. of John Smith of New London, whither he rem. had George and Thomas, wh. d. there. GEORGE, New London, s. of the preced. m.

HENRY, Dorchester, prob. br. of the first Aaron, came in the Mary and John, 1630, says Roger Clap, a fellow passeng. well adv. in life, brings w. Elizabeth and ch. prob. Samuel, Henry, Richard, and Elizabeth beside ano. of his w. wh. was lost in the winter pass. hither of the Lion, that had been charter. here soon aft. arr. of the Gov. and comp. to go to Bristol for food, and was coming back in Dec. and Jan. 1630-1. He had good est. but never desir. to be freem. liv. to 1667, aged 84, as Blake's Annals tell. His w. had d. 23 June 1665, at the same age. HENRY, Dorchester, s. or more prob. gr.s. of the preced. had in his will of 2 Dec. 1674, nam. sis. Elizabeth and br. Richard, beside uncle Aaron, so that my infer. is, that he had no w. or ch. was a mariner, and s. of Richard. JAMES, Newton, L. I. is first found there in 1656, and had large est. soon, was a Quaker, had ch. James, Francis, John, Hannah, Elizabeth and Martha, and d. 2 Oct. 1665. Riker, 378, makes Hannah m. Jeremiah Burroughs; Elizabeth m. Arthur Albertis; and Martha m. Thomas Taylor. Highly respect. are descend. RICHARD, Dorchester, s. of Henry the first, b. in Eng. a . 1624, adm. freem. 10 May 1643, rem. to Salem, there by w. Esther, d. of Thomas Jones, had Henry, bapt. 28 Dec. 1651; Elizabeth 8 Sept. 1653; Richard, 1654; Jonathan, 29 Dec. 1657, d. young; with his w. join. the 2d ch. in Boston 17 Feb. 1661, yet had no more ch. bapt. here, tho. by town rec. it seems, that w. Esther brot. him Hannah, 23 May 1662; and w. Bethia brot. Hannah, 13 July 1677. I strongly suspect that in this last rec. by carelessness of the writer mo. and ch. changed names; but it is of very slight importance, for his will of 2 Jan. 1697, pro. 28 Oct. foll. gave all his est. to w. Hannah, "hav. no [[441]] reason to believe any of my own childr. are surv." This latter w. was wid. of Thomas Hull, d. of William Townsend. He was a cooper, a man of substance, of ar. co. 1671, was lieut. and serv. at castle island under Roger Clap, was farmer gener. of the impost. in 1674, and lost money by his speculat. and some persons wished him to be made postmaster, in place of John Hayward the notary, perhaps our of compassion for that ill success. RICHARD, "was of Scituate in 1651," says Farmer, but no evid. is kn. to me. ROBERT, an apprent. in 1634, with Dept.Gov. Ludlow, yet in few wks. was under ens. Jennison, wh. soon lawfully assign. him to Edward Burton, and not long aft. was with Samuel Hosier, wh. early in 1636 got rid of him to William Almy to take him form Israel Stoughton, Jennison, Burton, and Hosier having to pay 20s. each for the benefit of Almy. See pp. 119, 122, 123, and 163 of Col. Rec. I. Such an inhab. was not object of regret if soon lost sight of. SAMUEL, Dorchester 1664, perhaps s. of the first Henry, but nothing more is heard. THOMAS, Isle of Shoals 1649, in few yrs. aft. was liv. in some part of Essex Co. THOMAS, New London, s. of the first George of the same, m. says Caulkins, Ann, d. of Andrew Lester, but if so, she was the sec. d. of that name, prob. by his sec. w. of the same name (for the first Ann by first w. had m. Nathaniel Millet), had Thomas, wh. d. at 20 yrs.; David, James, John, and six others betw. 1688 and 1714, rem. a. 1720 to New Haven, and d. 1726. WILLIAM, Boston, prob. s. of Richard, with w. join. Mather's ch. 9 Mar. 1677, was freem. 1678. WILLIAM, Salem, br. prob. of Aaron of the same, freem. 1690, with him was active in protest. against the cruel hypochondria of Rev. Samuel Paris. See Felt in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. III. 169. WAYMOUTH. See Weymouth. WEADEN, Edward, a soldier in Moseley's comp. at the Narraganset gr. fight, Dec. 1675. Perhaps this name may be Weeden, or Wheedon. WEARE, NATHANIEL, Newbury, s. perhaps of Peter of the same, b. in Eng. a. 1631, or more prob. 1635, as in Oct. 1695, he was se. to be only 60, m. 3 Dec. 1656, Elizabeth Swain, perhaps d. of Richard of Rowley, had Nathaniel, b. 5 Jan. 1658; Peter, 5 Nov. 1660; rem. a. 1662 to Hampton, there had six others, as Coffin says, and yet of not one is the proof accessib. was freem. of Mass. 1666, a rep. and bec. counsel. of N. H. aft. our new chart. 1692, and d. 13 May 1718, aged 83, wh. is in more than one book swell. to 87. PETER, Kittery, a man of large acquaint. with the New Hampsh. and Maine early settlem. whose name first appears on the gr. jury 1645, under the Gorges jurisdict. and in 1654 under that of Mass. of wh. he was adm. freem. 1652, as Farmer counts the sw. of alleg. was rep. for York in 1659, in the subordin. [[442]] legislat. held by Wiggin and Danforth by virtue of commissn. from Mass. but rep. at Boston in 1660 for Kittery; in 1665, the great important sess. of controver. with the royal commissnrs. and 1669 for York, again 1670 in Presid. Danforth's Court for the Province, in 1676 as "the old Treasr. was direct. to square his accounts," and in 1680 sw. alleg. to the k. Charles II. Aft. this I find his name no more in the Maine rec. and he prob. d. soon. PETER, Newbury, wh. d. as Coffin notes, 12 Oct. 1653, may have been br. or f. rather more prob. of Nathaniel. PETER, Hampton, s. Nathaniel, of what it is mortifiying confess. that I kn. no more exc. that he was made counsel. of the Prov. 1698. Neither Belkn. nor Farmer give m. progeny or d. It has been asked if Peter Weare and Peter Wyer were the same man. ROBERT, Hampton, the freem. of 1678, may have been br. of Nathaniel. In a very valu. note to Belkn. Hist. by Farmer in his Ed. 364, 5, uncertainty rests even on the f. of Meshech, b. 1714, H. C. 1735, one of the most servicable men that State has ever produc. wh. was its first Presid. under revolut. const. Yet F. thinks he was s. and the youngest of four of Nathaniel, wh. was s. of the last Peter. WEATHERHEAD, or WITHEREHEAD, Mary, one of the Quakers, wh. arr. at Boston 27 July 1656, from London, aged 26, in the Speedwell, but was, I hope, discreet eno. to go quietly to prison until the evil spirit in our governm. sent her home by the same ship. The silence of Hutchinson I. 196, permits us to indulge such a suspicion of rare tolerat. WEATHERS, JOHN, Hadley, sw. alleg. Feb. 1679. WAVER, CLEMENT, fined for drunk. in Mass. 1640, may have not been perman. resid. certain. not the Mr. Weaver, order. by court to be sent home, 1 Mar. 1631, in the Lion, as one "unmeet to inhabit here." Passing over the drunk. we may find him as Clement senr. a freem. at Newport in the list of 1655. CLEMENT, Newport, in the list of freem. 1655 call. junr. may well seem s. of the preced. and he m. Mary, eldest d. of William Freeborn, had perhaps the misfortune of being a capt. 1690 serv. with Walley in the expedit. of Phips against Quebec, if such latitude of construct. may be applied to the exact statem. in Arnold's Hist. of R. I. Vol. I. 520, 2. EDMUND, a husbandman, aged 28, with his w. Margaret, 30, came in the Planter, 1635, from London. They are call. in the London cocket for clearance, of Auckstrey in Herefordsh. yet my search for their resid. in this country is unsucess. JAMES, perhaps br. of the preced. came fellow-passeng. at least with him, and was aged 23. THOMAS, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Sarah, b. 6 Nov. 1674, but of him no more can be found here, tho. possib. it might be in ano. town. [[443]] WEBB, ADEY, ADY, ADDEY, or ADDY, Plymouth 1631, was tax. in two foll. yrs. and on the list of those able to bear arms in 1643, his name appears with a star bef. it. He was not a sever puritan, but oft. prosecut. for work. on the Lord's day, bound as serv. to Gov. Prence, and prob. had no w. or ch. See Felt, Eccles. Hist. i. 347. BENJAMIN, Malden, m. 7 Dec. 1669, Mercy, d. of William Bucknam, and, were it in my power, I would gladly tell more than that he was freem. 1690. CHRISTOPHER, Braintree, freem. 1645, had perhaps Peter, but the old town rec. is incomplete, not nam. the mo. nor date; and it cannot be that, as Farmer had it, he was b. 1657, and so more likely to be s. of sec. Christopher; was one of the petitnrs. that yr. for leave to go and possess the ld. from wh. our governm. had unrighteous. driv. Gorton, Holden, and other misbeliev. planters; but the right of the sufferers was vindicat. in Eng. CHRISTOPHER, Billerica, prob. s. of the preced. b. in Eng. m. 18 Jan. 1656, Hannah Scott, perhaps d. of the first Benjamin, had John, b. 23 Oct. foll.; Samuel, Aug. 1660, as the town rec. certifies, tho. I have seen a statem. that it was 28 July 1660; Christopher, 25 Mar. 1663; Hannah, 5 Sept. 1665; Benjamin, 12 Apr. 1667; Mary, 6 Sept. 1669; Joseph, 15 Mar. 1672; Abigail, 13 Oct. 1675. He was town clk. 1678, early in life, and rep. in the difficult times of 1689 and 90, d. 30 May 1694, aged 64. DANIEL, Salem, licens. as innholder 1689, had m. 20 July 1675, Mary Beckwett, d. of John, had John, b. 17 Apr. 1676; Margaret, 20 Feb. 1678, d. at 2 yrs.; Perez, 1 Apr. 1680; Mary, 14 Aug. 1682; Daniel, 5 Sept. 1688; and Elizabeth 17 May 1692. FRANCIS, by mr. Felt in Ann. I. 171, is represent. erron. as coming in the fleet with Higginson in June 1629 to Salem, and by him correct. as in II. 630 a doubt is express. however. He was a contrib. of £50. to encourage the planta. but never came over, I think; and was one of the most active promoters, no other mem. of the comp. being so sure to attend their meet. In Oct. 1629 he join. with Gov. Cradock, Dept.-Gov. Goffe, Winthrop, Saltonstall, treasr. Harwood, Johnson, Pynchon, and Vassall, in writ. from London to Higginson and Skelton, as to the "divers scandulous and intemp. speeches passed form one or both of you in your publ. sermons or pray." as report. by the two members John and Samuel Browne, wh. had accomp. those min. Of course he was not a fellow-passeng. but was (under direction of the Gov. and comp. in Eng. to Endicott) to have a mill privilege in the Col. and all this appears from thee rec. I. 39, 401, and 408, in connex. with 128, showing that our Gen. Ct. in Boston, Sept. 1634, wrote to him, George Harwood, and other great friends in London, to intreat them to choose one of themselves treasr. for this planta. in lieu of Harwood. Tho. the Edit. of Transact. or Amer. Antiq. Soc. III. suppos. that he d. bef. sett. up his sawmill [[444]] here, to me it seems equal. prob. that he was engag. in business of too much import. at London to come over, and intend. to carry forwards the mill business by a serv. or factor. GEORGE, Dover 1642, tax. 1648, d. 1650. HENRY, Boston, merch. came from Salisbury, Co. Wilts, with w. Dosabell, perhaps in 1637, when Felt marks a gr. of ld. to him, but more prob. in 1638, adm. of our ch. 6 Feb. 1639, as was she on Sunday foll. made freem. 13 Mar. next, constable 1641, brot. only ch.

Prob. she was b. by a first w. for in the parish rec. of St. Edmunds at S. may be seen, that Henry W. m. 23 Apr. 1627, Jane Woolford, and so we may assume that Dosabell was third w. This w. d. 28 Feb. 1660, and he d. 7 Sept. foll. and prob. his d. was sudden, as Elizabeth the d. of his only ch. was m. on the same day to Robert Gibbs. Margaret had by spec. license of the Gen. Ct. permiss. Sept. 1642, to m. first Jacob Sheaffe, and sev. yrs. aft. his d. she m. Rev. Thomas Thacher. His will of 5 Apr. 1660 is very full, and may be read in Geneal. Reg. X. 177-80. It was pro. 13 Sept. foll. and perhaps his est. was the largest that had so early come into Ct. Inv. was £7,819. 5s. 2d. Six clerg. were favor. with small lagacies, and John and Samuel Sanford, s. of his sis. Elizabeth had £80. ea. but perhaps they were in Eng. as was a sis. of his w. also a legatee. Webb was largely engag. in the Lynn iron works and a great benefactor to Harv. Coll. beside legacy of £50. gave that fine prop. betw. Washington and Devonshire streets in B. where the great publishers, Little Brown & Co. have long exhibit. their treasures. JEREMIAH, Northampton, s. of the first John of the same, m. a. 1693, Priscilla, McLathlin, had Joanna, b. 16 Mar. 1694, d. in two wks. and in Geneal. Reg.

Both are call. laborers or husbandmen, said to be of Marlborough in Wilts, but favored also with an alias Evereed, and it may be that both points of the description were to delude the tyrannic. formality. He was adm. freem. 7 Dec. 1636, sr. co. 1643, one of the early sett. of Chelmsford, there was ens. and rep. 1663, 4,5, but in the last yr. was expelled. fin. and for a season disfranch. but soon restor. had gr. of ld. at Dracut 1667, d. 16 Oct. 1668, by the strange occur. of being drown. by a whale, unless a false a spread, wh. may be seen in Rev. [[445]] Samuel Danforth's writ. for Roxbury ch. where he insert. it the next day. See Rev. Simon Bradstreet's Journal in Geneal. Reg. IX. 44. JOHN, Saybrook 1648, may bee s. of Richard of Hartford, for he is enum. the same yr. as of that place, and is perhaps the man wh. d. there 27 May 1684. JOHN, Boston, a brazier, adm. inhab. 24 Nov. 1651. JOHN, Northampton 1655, had by first w.

His wid. d. 30 Oct. 1735, aged 90. JOHN, Salem, 1667, is prob. the same wh. m. Bridget Whitford of the same, and had Bridget, b. 17 Aug. 1678. JOHN, Braintree, m.

JOSEPH, Fairfield, perhaps s. of the preced. nam. in Mather's Hecatompolis, bred at H. C. 1684, first of the name, where he was expel. as by the Diary of Noadiah Russell in Geneal. Reg. VII. 53 is relat. and he tells how soon he was restor. m. 1691, Elizabeth youngest d. of Isaac Stratford, ord. 15 Aug. 1694, had prob. Joseph, Y. C. 1715, and d. 19 Sept. 1732. NEHEMIAH, Boston, youngest s. of Richard of the same, cordwainer, sold, 1670, his sh. of paternal est. RICHARD, Weymouth, had Joseph, b. 19 Aug. 1640; and Nehemiah, 19 Oct. 1641; rem. to Boston, prob. in 1644, there offer. those ch. to bapt. 12 Jan. 1645, the rec. of first ch. varying from certif. copy of W. town rec. only in call. 17 Oct. the day of b. of the younger, but shockingly proving its falsity as to the f. of the other. He was a shoemaker, had w. Mary, and in Oct. 1648 unit. with James Everill and others in ask., incorpo. for their handicraft; made his will wh. names no w. 1 July 1659, and d. next day. RICHARD, Cambridge, freem. 6 Nov. 1632, is count. as one of those order. by Ct. to [[446]] rem. from Braintree, by Dr. Holmes in 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. 10, certain, went in the great migrat. with Gov. Haynes, and other friends of Hooker, and sat down at Hartford, was of the gr. jury 1643, in few yrs. aft. rem. to Norwalk, and there, too, was one of there first sett. He had w. Elizabeth and d. July 1665, his wid. wh. d. 24 Jan. 1681, being then charg. for est. larger than any exc. three in that town. He left no ch. but took Sarah, d. of Rev. Samuel Stone, and brot. her up, until she m. Thomas Butler of Hartford; and in Hall's Hist. we see that the wid. empower. a friend, in 1677 to adj. with Butler and his w. for their claim of the est. of her h. Butler's w. had half. and by the Court was distribut. other portions to Bartholomew Barnard, wh. was h. of Sarah, d. of Thomas Birchard, to Richard Homes, Stephen Beckwith, Thomas Barnum and others, of whose degrees of consanguin. it may not be easy top determine. Still, in 1694, among the voters in that town is Ebenezer W. RICHARD, Northampton, br. of the sec. John of the same, sw. alleg. 8 Feb. 1679, by w. Patience had Ebenezer, b. 27 July 1684; Ann, 2 June 1686, d. at 5 yrs.; Patience, 7 Sept. 1687; Jonathan; John and Thankful, tw. 28 Feb. 1692, of wh.

She was prob. the wid not the d. SAMUEL, Braintree, perhaps younger br. of John of the same, m. 16 Dec. 1686, Mary, d. of Joseph Adams of the same. STEPHEN, perhaps br. of John, was fellow-passeng. in the James 1635, from Southampton, both honor. with the alias Evered, and both from Marlborough in Wilts; but no more is kn. of him on our side of the ocean. THOMAS, Charlestown, by w. Mary, had Sarah, bapt. 17 June 1666; Thomas, 5 Mar. 1668; may be that mariner of Boston, taking deed of ho. and ld. Mar. 1661, from Nathaniel Fryer, and perhaps went home for short time, coming back in 1671. WILLIAM, Boston, had been one of Roxbury ch. bef. adm. freem. 25 May 1636, and in the list of mem. to his name is add. the informat. that his w. was excom. in 1642. Of course she was restor. on express. of penitence, rem. not long aft. and with recommend. tho. Ellis omits his name; was adm. of Boston ch. with his w. Rebecca, 7 Apr. and d. Dec. 1644. His wid. in Apr. 1653, sold the Roxbury est. That William wh. Farmer call. of Weymouth, was Richard, as we may well believe, when the same Joseph, that the copy of W. record says was his s. was brot. up by Richard to be bapt. as his. Farmer counts in 1834, eighteen gr. of wh. nine at Harv. four at Yale, and five at other N. E. coll. WEBBER, JOHN, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Martha and Mary, tw. b. 18 Feb. 1675; John, 23 Mar. 1678; Elizabeth 25 Jan. 1678, if the miserable [[447]] copy of the orig. town rec. can be believ.; and Barachiah, 4 Oct. 1686.

He also say, that in 1681, the town of C. had made her gr. of ld. for wh. six yrs. aft. she appl. for a patent from the autocratic Gov. Sir Edmund Andros. THOMAS, York, prob. s. of the preced. may not have any thing descernib. a. him beyond what Willis tells I. 215. In Apr. 1695, the wid Mary W. was adm. of the ch. in Charlestown, but I can only look on her as his mo.-in-law. WEBSTER, BENJAMIN, Salem, wh. was wound. in the gr. Narraganset fight, 19 Dec. 1675, when k. Philip's power was brok. was of Appleton's comp. and may therefore have been of Ipswich, yet by Felt II. 505, call. of S. EBENEZER, Hampton, sec. s. of Thomas of the same, n., 25 July 1709, Hannah Judkins, had Rachel, b. 17 May 1710; Susanna, 9 July 1712; Ebenezer, 10 Oct. 1714 (wh. m. 20 July 1738, Susanna Batchelder, and by his first ch. of the same nam. was gr.f. of Ezekiel and Daniel, the disting. advocates and statesmen); William, 26 Aug. 1716, d. in few yrs.; John, 4 Aug. 1719, d. in few yrs.; Hannah,m 1722; Mary and Joseph, tw. 15 Sept. 1724; and Edward, 9 Feb. 1728; and d. at Kingston, 1 Feb. 1736. HENRY, Boston, by w. Esther , had Ann, b. 9 Feb. 1683; and John, 28 Sept. 1688; yet no more can be told of him. ISAAC, Kingston, s. of Thomas, m. 1 Apr. 1696, Mary Hutchins, had John, bapt. 27 June 1697; Jonathan, 30 Apr. 1699; Hannah, 22 Feb. 1702; Elizabeth Mar. 1704; Sarah, [[448]] d. young; Samuel, b. 26 Mar. 1714, d. soon; Samuel, again, 25 Aug. 1715; and Gideon, 20 Dec. 1716; and d. 1718. ISRAEL, Newbury, s. prob. not eldest of John of Ipswich, b. in Eng. a. 1624, perhaps in Co. Norfolk, m. says Coffin, 3 Jan. 1666, perhaps 1667, Elizabeth Brown, had Elizabeth b. 7 Oct. 1668; and his w. d. 3 days aft. His sec. w. m. 9 Nov. 1669, Elizabeth Lund, d. of the first Henry, brot. him Ann, July 1672; Joseph, 15 Mar. 1676, d. at 4 yrs; Mary, 18 May 1679; and Lydia, 20 Dec. 1681; and he d. 7 Dec. 1683. The wid. d. 3 Aug. 1688. JAMES, Boston, a brewer, by w.

But may it not be prob. that the last two were by a sec. w. or prob. offspr. of the eldest s.? JOHN, Ipswich, came, says tradit. from Ipswich in Co. Suffk. 1634, freem. 4 Mar. 1635, had John, b. 1632, prob. in Eng. and here d. 1645, leav. 4 ds. Mary, Hannah, Elizabeth and Abigail, and three other s. Stephen, Israel, and Nathan, as the Gen. Ct.'s act on wid's petitn. shows in Col. Rec. II. 184; beside wid. Mary, wh. m. John Emery, as Farmer says. Much diligence had been by him bestow, on this fam. yet more was giv. to ano. wh. he found, contra. to his first impress. was entitl. rather than this man to be regard. as the progenit. of the late illustrious statesman, Daniel Webster. I regret to obs. the slight error of Dr. Bond (if it be an error) in mak. Thomas, wh. is the true progenit. of Daniel, m. a. d. of deac. William Godfrey, bec. Godfrey in his will truly calls him s.-in-law, as he was s. by a former h. of Godfrey's w. But more desir. is it to avoid the error of Miss Thomas, who would make John of our Ipswich, the ancestor, and Thomas his son, when it appears plainly that John had not son Thomas, and that Thomas's f. d. at Ormsby, in Co. Norfolk, prob. as there the s. was b. and the mo. had m. deac. Godfrey bef. leav. Eng. * JOHN, Hartford 1636, but from what place in Mass. he went is uncert. By fam. tradit. he was from Co. Warwick. He was rep. 1 May 1637, a magistr. from 1639 to 1655, when he was made dept.-gov. and next yr. gov. In the gr. contest a. ch. governm. he took sides with Rev. Mr. Russell of Wethersfield, and that caused his rem. up the riv. to found Hadley in 1659, by our Gen. Ct. was adm. freem. of Mass. and in May 1660 made a magistr. there, d. 5 Apr. 1661. Robert, William, and Thomas, his s. are said to have foll. their f. but tho. the respectab. ref. in Farmer's MS. for this tradit. is made to letter of the late Noah Webster, the grammarian, I doubt his studies had been too long turned in ano. direction to justify unlimit. confidence in all parts of his relat. and that Robert did not foll. but accomp. his f. to Mass. He brot. from Eng. w. Agnes, ch. Matthew, Robert, Ann, Elizabeth and Mary; perhaps, [[449]] also, Thomas and William, tho. one or both of the latter may have been b. on our side of the ocean; and fam. tradit. makes William b. 1617. No dates of b. of any of the seven are giv. by the most valua. work of Goodwin, pub. since the d. of the compiler. From the will of 25 June 1659, little is learn. but the names of four s. two ds. Ann Marsh, w. of John, and d. Markham, beside two gr.ch. Jonathan and Mary Hunt. The name of mo. was not ment. and prob. she was oldest d. if not even oldest ch. When or where she m. Hunt, or what even was his bapt. name is unkn. Tradit. in the fam. makes his name John, and hers, Mary; and it may be conject. that both were d. JOHN, Portsmouth 1648, a brewer, as constable was allow. charge for bring. Henry Taylor a prisoner to Boston, in Col. Re. III. 140. He may be the man to wh. gr. of ld. was made by Salem 1638, in hope to draw him, and d. 1662. JOHN< Newbury, s. of the first John, b. in Eng. was in milit. trouble as Col. Rec. IV. 362, and, very briefly, Coffin, 62, sufficient. relate. He may have been the man by Farmer call. in blacksmith, early at Haverhill; but to N. went back, had with his mo. and the younger childr. says Coffin, rem. from Ipswich, m. 13 June 1653, Ann Batt, perhaps d. of Nicholas, had John, b. 11 Feb. 1656; Mary, 29 Mar. 1658, d. in few wks.; Sarah, 1 July 1659; Abigail, 16 Mar. 1662; Lucy, 19 Dec. 1664; Mary, again, 24 May 1667; Stephen, 8 May 1669; Ann, 7 Sept. 1671; Nicholas, 19 Oct. 1673; and Jonathan, 21 May 1676. JOHN, Newbury, s. of John of the same, took o. of alleg. 1678, and was freem. 1690, m. 9 Mar. 1681, Bridget Huggins, perhaps d. of John, had Ann, b. 9 June 1682; John, 2 Nov. 1683; Sarah, 28 Dec. 1685; Israel, 9 Apr. 1688; Hannah, 5 Oct. 1692; and Stephen, 11 Jan. 1698. JOHN, Hampton, s. of Thomas of the same, m. 21 Sept. 1703, Abiah Shaw, and had sec. w. Sarah. His ch. were Jeremiah, b.

STEPHEN, Newbury, by Coffin, thot. s. of John of the same, m. 1 Nov. 1698, Sarah, d. of Nathaniel Clark, had Joanna, and Sarah, b. 10 Dec. 1701, prob. tw. but Coffin does not say so much. THOMAS, Boston, mariner, adm. of the ch. 7 Apr. 1644, and freem. next mo. THOMAS, Hampton, brot. to Watertown, by his mo. Margery, then w. of William Godfrey, perhaps 1638, from Ormsby in Co. Norfolk, where he had been bapt. 20 Nov. 1631, and from W. to Hampton carried in youth by Godfrey, m. 2 Nov. 1657, Sarah Brewer, perhaps d. of Thomas of Roxbury, had Mary, b. 19 Dec. 1658; Sarah, 22 Jan. 1661; Hannah, 27 Dec. 1663; Thomas, 20 Jan. 1665; Ebenezer, 1 Aug. 1667; Isaac, 2 Apr. 1670; John, 16 Feb. 1674; Joshua, 8 Nov. 1676; and Abigail, 1 Jan. 1679; sw. alleg. Feb. 1669, and d. 5 Jan. 1715, tho. Farmer in MS. says Feb. in 84th yr. This is the ancestor of the conspicuous lawyers wh. the research of Farmer ascert. THOMAS, Northampton, s. of Gov. John, m. 16 June 1663, Abigail, d. of George Alexander of the same, had Abigail, b. 9 Jan. 1668, d. soon; Abigail, again, 10 Jan. 1669; George, 7 Nov. 1670; John, 26 Nov. 1673; rem. next yr. to Northfield, thence driv. 1675 by the Ind. wh. destroy. his prop. he sat down at Hadley, sw. alleg. there 8 Feb. 1679, and had Elizabeth 26 Nov. 1676; Thankful, 12 Jan. 1679; and Mary, 25 May 1681; again went to Northfield, there d. 1686, and his wid. d. bef. Mar. 1690. THOMAS, Hampton, s. of Thomas of the same, m. as is suggest. in Bond's Hist. of Watertown, his cous. d. of William Godfrey, but whether this be so, is doubt. By w. Sarah, wh. d. 15 Feb. 1718, he had Sarah, b. 15 Sept. 1690; Thomas, 1693; Mary, 19 May 1696; Alice, 5 Aug. 1698; Joshua, 2 Sept. 1703; Abigail, 15 Apr. 1706; Samuel, 3 Apr. 1708; and Elizabeth 11 Jan. 1711; and he d. at Kingston, 7 Mar. 1733. WILLIAM, Hadley, s. of Gov. John, in his MS. by Farmer said (follow. tradit. prob. without reason) to be b. 1617; sw. alleg. 8 Feb. 1679; m. 17 Feb. 1670, Mary, d. of Thomas Reeve of Springfield, wh. brot. him no ch. but was accus. of familiarity with the devil, sent all the way to Boston for trial as witch in 1684, and yet was not found guilty. Had it been very few yrs. later, the result might have been differ. when the gr. adversary was foil. with his own weapons, as in the Goodwin case. He d. a. 1688, and his wid. was permit. to live till 1696. WILLIAM, Boston, m. Mary, d. of capt. Samuel Mosely or Maudsley, may have had s. of the same name, wh. d. 28 Dec. 1725, aged 28. Farmer says that in 1834, ten of his name had been gr. at Harv. six at Yale, and twelve at the other N. E. Coll. [[451]] WEDGEWOOD, JOHN, Hampton 1639, had, in 1637, when he belong to Ipswich, serv. in the Pequot war, and was wound. but in Oct. of the later yr. was sentenc. to be set in the stocks for being in the comp. of drunk.

JONATHAN, Hampton, s. of the preced. took the o. of alleg. 26 May 1669, and once more, 16 Dec. 1678. WEEBON, STEPHEN, wh. d. at Boston, Sept. 1659, inv. of whose goods and clothing, 16 Nov. foll. is in Geneal. Reg. IX. 348, from Prob. Rec. III. 171, was, I judge, only casual visitor, perhaps from the West Ind. and the expense of his board was to be reimburs. by his host being made admin. He may have come only from New York, under the Dutch, and had very small stock. WEED, DANIEL, Stamford, s. of Jonas, had been of Rye 20 yrs. bef. he d. 29 Nov. 1697, leav. four s. and a d. whose names are not found. GEORGE, Salisbury, s. of John of the same, took o. of alleg. 20 Dec. 1677, at the same time with his f. and brs. Samuel and John. JOHN, Salisbury, m. 14 Nov. 1650, Deborah, d. of Samuel Wensley, or Winsly, had Samuel, b. 15 Feb. 1652; Mary, 5 Sept. 1653; John, 1 Nov. 1655; Ann, 26 July 1657; Deborah, 15 June 1659; George, 25 May 1661; and Ephraim, 24 Feb. 1667. He was, it is said, b. a. 1627, and his d. Deborah m. 29 Nov. 1677, Christopher Barnard the sec. of Newbury. JOHN, Stamford, s. of Jonas of the same, m. Joanna Westcoat, d. of Richard, had Jonas, b. 1665; Daniel, 1667; John; Samuel' Joseph; Isaac; Mary; and Hannah, all nam. when the inv. was brot. in 15 Jan. 1690. JONAS, the freem. of 18 May 1631, of wh. nothing more is told, exc. by Bond wh. discov. from Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 2, that he had been dism. from the ch. of Watertown to that of Wethersfield, but the date in Bond, p. 963, 29 May 1635, is by me confidently read 29 Mar. 1636. Of course he came in the fleet of 1630, and by Bond's reasonab. conject. in the ship with Sir Richard Saltonstall. I find a Jonas, perhaps his s. at Stamford 1669, then seek. to be made freem. of Conn. but he is accomp. in the same good purpose by JOHN wh. may be gr.s. of the first Jonas. Mr. Judd enlarges our acquaint. with him by tell. that he was of Stamford 1642, until he d. 1676, his inv. being of 5 June in that yr. He made his will Nov. 1672, nam. four s. John, Daniel, Jonas, and Samuel, four ds. May, w. of George Abbot; Dorcas Wright, w. of James; Hannah, m. 5 Jan. 1670, Benjamin Hoyt; and Sarah. His wid.

[[452]] Farmer notes that in 1834, seven of this name had been gr. at N. E. coll. of wh. I find four at Yale, two at Harv. WEEDEN, EDWARD, Boston, came in the Susan and Ellen from London 1635, aged 22, by w. Elizabeth d. of Samuel Cole, had Samuel, b. Aug. 1644; John; Edward; and Elizabeth wh. m. a. 1673, Sampson Cole (perhaps her first cous.), Hannah, and Mary.

SAMUEL, Newport, by Benedict enumer. among the founders of the ch. 1644. WILLIAM, Newport, one of the founders of the Bapt. ch. 1644, may have been br. of the preced. and is found in Dr. Stiles's list of freem. there 1655, and a deac. d. 1676, early in that yr. nam. one of the trustees of a charity. WEEDER, JAMES, Newport, among the freem. of 1655, unless the last letter should be n, as seems prob. WEEKS, AMMIEL, Dorchester, perhaps s. of Goerge of the same, brot. in early youth, freem. 1657, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 18 Oct. 1657; Thankful, 24, bapt. 29 Apr. 1660; Ammiel, 15, bapt. 21 Sept. 1662; Ebenezer, b. 15 May 1665; Joseph, 3 Sept. 1667; Supply, 26 Aug. 1671; Thomas, 20 Nov. 1673; and Hannah, 14 May 1676; and he d. 20 Apr. 1679, aged 46. His wid. d. 10 Apr. 1723, aged 89. Elizabeth m. 20 Mar. 1679, Richard Mather, s. of Timothy, as one auth. assures me. while old Dorchester, in Geneal. Reg. V. 467, asserts that her h. was Timothy. AMMIEL, Dorchester, s. of the preced. m. 21 Nov. 1682, Abigail, d. of William Trescott, had Ammiel, b. 26 Feb. 1683; Abigail, 29 Apr. 1687; and Goerge, 20 Mar. 1689; both the s. being rememb. in the will of their gr.f. T. leads one to presume the other ch. d. young. CHRISTOPHER, Boston, by w. Mary, had Christopher, b. 24 Sept. 1695; and Mary, 29 Nov. 1697. EBENEZER, Dorchester, s. of Ammiel the first, m. May 1689, Deliverance, d. of William Sumner, rem. to Boston, there had William, b. 20 Feb. 1690; Jane, 29 Mar. 1692; Elizabeth 25 Oct. [[453]] 1694; Hannah, 5 Jan. 1696; and Ebenezer, 17 Sept. 1699. FRANCIS, Providence 1637. But for insert. of this and the other R. I. numerous hosts, whose name is more common, spelt Wickes, ano. place may seem better. GEORGE, Dorchester, freem. 13 May 1640, brot. w. said to be Jane, sis. of Roger Clap, and s. Ammiel, William, and Joseph, tho. the last may have been b. at D. d. 27 Oct. 1659, says Farmer, foll. the town rec. in wh. date Geneal. Reg. V. 467 follows him; but the inv. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 334, unless the figures be wrong, proves that he d. 28 Dec. 1650, for it was taken 22 Jan. foll. and perhaps the d. of Oct. 1659 may have been of inf. s. of Ammiel the first. Plainly the numerals a. the inv. in Geneal. Reg. are erron. for aft. that date, four ch. of his are bapt. viz. John, 7 Mar. 1652, Elizabeth 18 Sept. 1653, wh. prob. d. soon; William, 20 Aug. 1654; and Elizabeth again, 14 Sept. 1656. In the Hist. of D. compiled, with unusual diligence, by Ebenezer Clapp, 137, is the true date. JOHN, Dorchester, perhaps s. of William of the same, m. 4 Nov. 1674, Sarah Hammond, but no more is kn. of him. JOSEPH, Dorchester, s. of George, prob. b. in Eng. m. 9 Apr. 1667, Mary, d. of maj. Humphrey Atherton, had Mary, b. 20 May 1668; Joseph, 26 Mar. bapt. 3 Apr. 1670, d. at 20 yrs.; Repent, 22, bapt. 27 Feb. 1675; and perhaps others. He was freem. 1673, and d. 31 Oct. 1690; and his wid. d. 17 Sept. 1692, aged 56, if the inscript. in Geneal. Reg. IV. 169, be not erron. as I suspect. It was a mistake of Dr. Harris, very easily made, to read the names of his man and his f., as Wilkes. JOSEPH, Dorchester, prob. s. of Ammiel the first, by w. Sarah, had Elizabeth b. 31 Aug. 1691; Sarah, 3 Apr. 1693; Hannah, 6 Apr. 1695; Experience, 2 June 1697; and Thankful, 29 Apr. 1699. His w. d. 12 Feb. 1736, aged 74, says the gr.st. LEONARD, Portsmouth, one of the men wh. stood rather for Mass. than for the crown, in 1665, as in our Col. Rec. IV. pt. 2, 270; by w. Mary had John, b. 14 June 1668; Samuel, 14 Dec. 1670; Joseph, perhaps, 11 Mar. 1672; Joshua, 30 June 1674; Mary, 19 July 1676; Margaret, 4 June 1679; and he had a sec. w. Elizabeth d. of Samuel Haynes the first. SUPPLY, Marlborough, s. of the first Ammiel, m. 4 June 1699, Susanna Barnes, d. perhaps of Richard of the same, had Thomas, b. 5 Sept. 1700; Jemima, 23 Feb. 1702; Abigail, 26 Jan. 1704; Ammiel, 13 Oct. 1705; John, 3 Mar. 1707; Elijah, 11 Feb. 1710;' and Susanna, 11 Jan. 1712. His w. d. four days aft. and he d. 22 Sept. 1755. THOMAS, Charlestown 1636, rec. as inhab. at Salem 1639, there had Bethia, bapt. 27 Feb. 1642; and Hannah, 5 Jan. 1645; d. soon aft. mak. his will in 1656. Hannah m. 27 Aug. 1667, John Pickman.

Thomas, John, Rebecca, Martha, Elizabeth Mary, and Sarah, [[454]] seven in all. At Huntington, L. I. the spell. is Wicks. WILLIAM, Dorchester, s. of George, freem. 1665, had Elizabeth b. 16 Sept. 1653; Mary, 10 Nov. 1656; William, 26 Nov. 1658; Renew, 12 Aug. 1660, but Geneal, Reg. V. 467, had 1662; Jane, 30 Sept. bapt. 5 Oct. 1662; George, bapt. 2 Oct. 1664; Sarah, 19 Aug. 1666; Samuel, b. 25 Jan. 1670, beside John, the eldest, 23 Feb. 1652, wh. is the only ch. nam. in his will of 10 Dec. 1677, pro. Feb. foll. He is the bold innovator as was perhaps thot. wh. being success. as clk. of the writs, after d. of William Poole, early in 1675, restor. the practice of call. months by their names, instead of numbers in the Julian calendar; and d. 13 Dec. 1677. Of his ds. Mary m. Henry White; Renew m. Benjamin Carpenter; Jane, m. 26 Mar. 1685, John Blackman. WILLIAM, Falmouth, C. C. m. 16 Mar. 1669, Mercy, d. of Isaac Robinson by his first w. had Mary, b. 7 Jan. foll.; Mehitable, 16 Oct. 1671; Sarah, 6 May 1674; Experience, 24 June 1677; Mercy, 24 Apr. 1679; Jonathan, 6 May 1681; Benjamin, 1 Apr. 1685; and Lydia, 30 Jan. 1688. In 1834, Farmer says three of the name had been gr. at Harv. one at Yale, and five at the other N. E. coll. WEIGHT, RICHARD, Boston 1655, aged then 55 yrs. may have been trans. inhab. THOMAS, the freem. of 8 Oct. 1640, may have enjoy. a various spell. of his name, but with this form it is very difficult to follow him. For the same reason pursuit is unsatisfact. as to the next surname. WEIGHTMAN or WIGHTMAN, DANIEL, Newport, pastor of the Bapt. ch. a. 50 yrs. d. 1750, aged 81, prob. leav. descend. JOHN, said to have been adm. into the ch. of Charlestown, 31 July 1641. See Budington. ROBERT, Newport, perhaps, br. of Daniel, m.

I kn. not the resid. came in the Rebecca, 1635, aged 32, then call. husbandman. JAMES, Swansey, m. 9 Nov. perhaps 1683, Mercy Sabin of Rehoboth. JOHN, Boston, perhaps s. of Thomas of Charlestown, mariner, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 3 June 1689. His will in Pro. Rec. XVIII. 152, shows that he had sev. other ch. at the time of mak. 14 July 1704, and bef. it was pro. 1 May 1714, prob. he had two more, for his w. join. Mather's ch. 26 Jan. 1690, and then had three ch. bapt. whose names are not seen; Rachel, 15 Jan. 1693; Susanna, [[455]] 10 May 1696; William, 18 Sept. 1698; Benjamin, 8 June 1701; Ebenezer, 28 Jan. 1705; and Jonathan, 20 July 1707. It nam. the w. sole extrix. gave her all his prop. dur. wid. and provid. that on the m. or com. of age of 21 yrs. of the youngest ch. equal div. be made among all, then liv. NATHANIEL, Enfield, the gr. of Harv. 1687, wh. d. 10 July 1689, aged a. 23, was s. of Thomas of Charlestown, says the rec. of Enfield, but not min. as Farmer calls him, tho. He may have preach. for the Coll. Catal. prints him in Roman let. and adds that he d. 1689. This last fact could not have been within the kn. of F. as the custom of noting the yr. of d. has been wisely introd. since his time, but he would have been more precise in his latitude of dying bef. 1699, had he turned to the Hecatompolis, while consult. Mather, he would have seen, that in 1696, he marks Enfield vacant. PHILIP, Ipswich 1664, m. 1665, Hannah, d. of Henry Haggert of Wenham, had Philip, b. 27 Dec. 1668; and Moses, 25 Nov. 1685; perhaps others; rem. to Kingston, N. H. there his s. Samuel had Samuel, b. 1 Sept. 1710, wh. d. 5 Apr. 1823, aged therefore 112 yrs. 6 mos. and 23 days, as Farmer, in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 158 notes, prob. the oldest man kn. as native of any part of our country. See also his Ed. of Belkn. N. H. I. 208. * THOMAS, Milford 1639, one of the found. of the ch. that yr. as Dr. Trumbull says; was freem. 1665, and rep. the same yr. He had m. Hannah, d. of Thomas Buckingham, and his ch. were Mary, b. 14 Aug. 1655; Thomas, 28 Jan. 1658; Sarah, bapt. 1660; Esther, 1664; and Lydia, wh. d. 1685 at 16 yrs. He d. 12 Aug. 1681, and his wid. d. a. 1684. It is shown in Trumbull, Col. Rec. II. 132, that in 1670 he was fin. L10. for entrust. a subordin. with power to whip a negro slave, wh. caus. his death. THOMAS, Milford, s. of the preced. d. early in 1704, in his will names w. Elizabeth and s. Thomas, John, and Paul; and gives legacies to two ds. not nam. THOMAS, Charlestown, unit, with the ch. 12 Apr. 1650, and was adm. freem. next mo. by w. Elizabeth d. of deac. John Upham of Malden, had John, b. 8 July 1657, d. soon; John, again, 26 Nov. 1658; and d. 31 Dec. 1680. Ano. THOMAS, of Charlestown, as his gr.-st. tells, d. 10 Apr. 1701, aged 79, and by the same testimo. we may believe ano. Thomas there, d. 15 June 1703, a. 50 yrs. To discrimin. the spell. of these fam. names by e, and s has been impossib. and Farmer did not attempt it, tho. he div. the tribes as arbitrarily as was necessary. He marks the gr. in 1834, under Welch as 7 at Yale, 3 at Harv. but under Welsh gives Yale none; and I find at Harv. three more with the s. WELCOME, PETER, Boston, mariner, had, I suppose, mov. in from some other place; possib. he was s. of William of Pemaquid, bec. nothing of him is found in town or ch. rec. but his will of 23 Feb. 1695, [[456]] pro. 28 Mar. foll. gives to his d.-in-law Mary Howard, half of his dw.ho. and shop, salt ho. wharf, *c. she paying his s. Joseph, on his com. of age, L30. or if not so paid, he should have that moiety, and the other half to s. Peter; all personal est. to d. Mary Townsend, exc. sea books and instrum. with wear. apparel, that should all go to Joseph. WILLIAM, Pemaquid, took o. of fidel. to Mass. 1674, as it seen in Col. Rec. V. 18. WELD, or WELDE, DANIEL, Braintree 1640, freem. 2 June 1641, by w. Alice, wh. d. 18 Apr. 1647, had Dorcas, b. 6 Apr. 1643, d. in few wks. By ano. w. Ann, wid. I think, of George Hyde of Boston, he had at Roxbury, whither he rem. with recommend. of Braintree ch. 1651, Benjamin and Mehitable, tw. b. 1655, bapt. 16 Mar. 1656, both of wh. d. next yr.; Daniel, b. 14, bapt. 17 Oct. 1658; beside ano. Mehitable, whose b. or bapt. we find not (yet she may be d. of ano. Daniel); but the town rec. ment. d. 12 Jan. 1680. He was town clk. 1654, and much interest. in sch. for wh. the Gen. Ct. in 1659 reward. him with 200 acres, a gr. equal to that of Corlet at the same time, Col. Rec. IV. pt. I. 397; and d. 22 July 1666, aged 81, says the town rec. His will of 1 July preced. was pro. 3 Nov. foll. In it he gives all his prop. to his w. Ann, dur. wid. ment. s. Daniel as hav. had his full portion of est. and more than remain. yet liv. in Eng. and whether liv. or d. unkn. to the testator, yet he leaves him 20s. and aft. provid. for w's. third, if she m. gives all resid. to her s. Timothy Hyde, equally with his own ch. Joseph and Bethia. He makes his cousins Edward Denison, Thomas Weld, and John W. overseers of the will. Now great uncertainty arises hereon, whether the yrs. of his age in the town rec. be not far too high, if he be f. of those tw. in 1655, and also whether the Daniel b. Oct. 1658, were s. of gr.s. DANIEL, Roxbury, s. of Joseph first of the same, was sch.master aft. leav. coll. perhaps at Cambridge, but soon rem. to Salem, there was a physician, had early m. Bethia, sec. d. of Edward Mitchelson, serv. in Philip's war, at least in the Narraganset campaign, 1675, as chief surg. and d. May 1690. At Salem were b. to him, as Felt says, Barbara, 3 Oct. 1673; and Elizabeth 28 Mar. 1675; besides at Cambridge had Daniel, b. 20 Aug. 1663; Edward, 7 June 1666, wh. was also a physician, but d. 3 Oct. 1702, at 36 yrs.; and Bethia, 24 Jan. 1668. At Salem, also, were b. Joseph, 1670, wh. d. soon; Joseph, again, 1671, d. in few mos.; Micherson, Apr. 1672, d. next yr. His wid. d. 24 Oct. 1719, in her 70th yr. Perhaps the same man at Roxbury, of whose derivat. aft. great search, I am unable to conject. otherwise, had Mary, b. 19 Feb. 1676, and may have been f. of that Mehitable, wh. d. 12 Jan. 1680. EDMUND, Roxbury, youngest s. of Rev. Thomas, bapt. at his parish 3 or 8 July 1631, brot. by his f. in the William and Francis next yr. went to Ireland soon aft. gr. at H. C. 1650, was min. at Inneskean, d. 2 Mar. 1668, says Alden; but he had unduly swell. the number of his yrs. [[457]] EDMUND, Roxbury, s. of Thomas the sec. freem. 1690, m. 10 Nov. 1687, Elizabeth White, but whose d. she was is not seen, ahd Joseph, whose b. is not giv. but he d. 21 Feb. 1695; Edmund, b. 23 June 1695; Samuel, whose b. is not found, but he d. 29 Mar. 1698; and Thomas, Nov. 1702. His w. d. 20 Dec. 1721, but his own d. is not on town rec. JOHN, Roxbury, eldest s. of capt. Joseph, b. in Eng. as Farmer cites a fam. MS. to provide, 28 Oct. 1623, and came over in 1638 wh. is not improb. m. 24 Dec. 1647, Margaret Bowen, perhaps sis. of Griffith, ahd Joseph, b. 6 June, bapt. 12 Aug. 1649, d. in few mos. not as Ellis says, "only 17 days old;" Joseph, again, 13, bapt. 15 Sept. 1650; John, 25 May, bapt. 26 June 1653; Elizabeth 14, bapt. 18 Nov. 1655, Margaret, 29 Sept. bapt. 11 Oct. 1657, d. at 17 yrs.; Mary, 3, bapt. 8 Apr. 1660; Abigail, b. 27 Aug. 1663, d. young; Esther, 28 Dec. 1664, d. in few days; and Hannah, 5 Sept. 1666; was freem. 1650, and serv. in Philip's war few days, mak. his will 19 June 1676, bec. he was call. into an expedit. but did not die until 20 Sept. 1691. His wid. d. 15 Sept. 1692. Elizabeth m. 28 Aug. 1672, Samuel Gore, Mary m. 1680, Joshua Gardner; and Hannah m. 11 Nov. 1685, William Heath. JOHN, Roxbury, eldest s. of Rev. Thomas, brot. by his f. from Eng. where the reg. of his f. certif. that he was bapt. 6 June 1625, did not go home with him in 1641, bec. he was the undergr. at Harv. Coll. wh. in 1644 was whip. by the Presid. for break. and rob. his uncle's ho. wh. was then in Eng. and this disastrous discipline would naturually induce the youth to hide there bef. his return. See Winthrop II. 166. The fam. tradit. is that he was min. of a parish in Durham, whose name call. Riton is not to be easi. found, near his f,. prob. and he may have been eject. instead of that Thomas, wh. Calamy names, by the Bartholomew Act. as the f. was in his grave bef. that day. JOHN, Roxbury, s. of the first John, m. 22 Jan. 1679, Hannah Portis, had John, b. 22 Apr. 1680, d. in few days; Hannah, 14 Dec. 1681, d. in few mos.; John, again, 7 Oct. 1683, d. in few wks.; Joanna, 15 Sept. 1685; Abigail, 19 Aug. 1687; Margaret, 6 Mar. 1690; Elizabeth 20 July 1692; Sarah, 17 Nov. 1693, d. at 15 yrs.; Dorothy, 21 June 1695, d. in few days; Samuel, 18 May 1697, d. in few mos.; and John, 18 Nov. 1698. His w. d. 10 Dec. 1721, and he d. 21 Feb. 1739. * JOSEPH, Roxbury, br. of the first Daniel, prob. and of Rev. Thomas, certain. came, it is thot. 1635, bring. w. Elizabeth and ch. Elizabeth Mary, Hannah, and Thomas (wh. by his f. design. for a coll. educ. d. at 17 yrs.), a. the ages of 10, 8, 6, and 3 yrs. respectiv. and leav. at home the eldest John, here had Edmund, b. 14 July 1636; and his w. d. Oct. 1638. He m. 20 Apr. foll. Barbara, niece of Edward Clap of Dorchester, had Sarah, bapt. 21 Dec. 1640, says the copy of town rec. wh. we might kn. to be wrong, as that was not Sunday; but the other copy from the ret. [[458]] to the Country recorder, as in Geneal. Reg. VI. 377, makes her to be b. 31 Dec. of that yr. Yet what was the day of bapt. is unkn. since the earliest ch. rec. of Roxbury is also lost; Daniel, 18, bapt. 25 Sept. 1642; Joseph, 6, bapt. 9 Feb. 1645, d. at 10 mos.; and Marah, bapt. 2 Aug. 1646, tho. the town rec. makes her bapt. on the impossib. day 6 July, and the child's name Jeremiah. The apostle Eliot in his rec. asigns the cause for the bitter name, that the f. "is now in gr. afflict. by a sore on his tongue." He was freem. 3 Mar. 1636, rep. 1637 and sev. yrs. more, was capt. of the milit. of good est. and high reput. and d. of a cancer, or was bur. not as Ellis says, 8 Sept. but 7 Oct. foll. the b. of his last ch. His will of 2 June, with codic. of 22 July preced. is well abst. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 33. The wid. m. next yr.

Elizabeth had m. 20 Mar. 1641, Edward Denison; Mary m. a. 1648, Daniel Harris of Middletown; Hannah seems by the lang. of her f.'s will, to have been engaged to m. a. s. of famous Hooker, but nothing is kn. further; Sarah m. 23 July 1663, John Franks of Boston; and Marah m. Comfort Starr, says Ellis. JOSEPH, Roxbury, s. of John the first, m. 2 Sept. 1674, Elizabeth d. of Edward Devotion, had Margeret, b. 5 Nov. 1675, d. young; and Elizabeth 1 Jan. 1678,d 12 of next mo. and the mo. d. 3 days aft. he m. next, 27 Nov. 1679, Sarah, d. of Thomas Faxon of Braintree, had Margaret, 16 Feb. 1681; Joseph, 12 July 1683; Sarah, bapt. 25 Oct. 1685, d. at 2 mos.; Sarah, again, 16 June 1687; John, 19 Aug. 1689; Thomas, 10 Jan. 1692, d. soon; Deborah, 22 Feb. 1694; Mary, 10 Apr. 1695 (but of these last four, I find not any entry on the town rec. and am indebt. for them to an elegant memo. of the sev. descend. of Rev. Thomas, and capt. Joseph, by William G. Weld. Esq.); Daniel, 14 Aug. 1697; Edward, June 1700, d. Feb. foll.; and Ebenezer, 19 Oct. 1702; and the f. d. 14 Feb. 1712. Yet he had made his will 6 Dec. 1692, in a season of illness. The wid. m. 29 Apr. 1719, Jacob Chamberlain of Brookline, outliv. him, and d. 14 Oct. 1745. SAMUEL, Roxbury, s. of Thomas the sec. m. 23 June 1683, Susanna, d. of John Polley of the same, had Dorothy, b. 28 May 1684; Samuel, 21 July 1686, d. in few days; Samuel, again, 30 Oct. 1687, d. in few mos.; Ebenezer, 24 Jan. 1690, d. young; was freem. 1690. His w. d. 20 Apr. 1729, and he d. 2 Sept. 1737. THOMAS, Roxbury, br. of Joseph the first, and prob. younger than him, was bred at Trinity Coll. Cambridge, where he had his degr. 1613 and 18, was min. 1624, at Terling, Co. Essex, a 38 ms. from London, by w. Margaret had John, bapt. 6 June 1625; Thomas, 1626; Samuel, 8 Oct. 1629; and Edmund, 8 July [[459]] 1631, H. C. 1650; according to cetif. from the present vicar of the parish to my young friend Weld, that the rec. is made and sign. by the f. and obs. his handwrit. was so obscure, that the day and mo. of the bapt. of sec. s. could not be made out. Perhaps the third s. did not live long, at least we hear nothing of any other ch. than the three brot. by him, with their mo. in the William and Francis, leav. London 9 Mar. and arr. at Boston 5 June 1632, he hav. enjoy. the benefit of being excommun. the yr. bef. by the driveling malevolence of archbp. Laud, then only bp. of London. Next mo. he was sett. at Roxbury, and 6 Nov. foll. made freem. but whether he had more ch. or when his w. Margaret d. and a sec. w. Judith was tak. as the Roxbury ch. rec. proves, and other details, are not found. He was earnest in the synod of 30 Aug. 1637 against the antinom. doctrines of Mr. Wheelwright, in stat. the eighty-two errors, and their confutat. with some unsound axioms as decid. by that grave Assemb. with wh. the first twenty pages of the work, call. a Short Story of the Rise, Reign, and Ruin of the Antinominian's Familists, &c,. publish. by him in London, 1644, are fill. and the authorship of that part would do no discredit to him or any other divine of the land. Of the next twenty-three pages, the proceedings of the Gen. Ct. 2 Oct. (should be Nov.) 1637, another hand may have been the reporter; but no more blame attaches to any other portion, than to the copy of the petition, writ. as Winthrop tells, by William Aspinwall, in favor of Wheelwright, with wh. these proceedings are appropriat. introd. Whatever hand report. these proceed. it could not well have been Gov. Winthrop at least in the full transcr. for on p. 27 it is alleg. that Wheelwright was requir. if he did not in 14 days depart from our jurisdict. "to render hims. at the ho. of Mr. Stanton, one of the magistr. there to abide as a prisoner, till the Ct. should dispose of him." Now this could not have fallen from the Gov. whose narrative in sev. items, p. 246 of Vol. I. varies from this report, and does not name the magistr. but uses the phrase, "one of the magistr." wh. where then only seven, beside hims. and the Dept. But Col. Rec. I. 207 has the name of Stoughton; and no Stanton was ever one of the magistr. Next comes, strange interject. betw. the report of the judicial proceeding of the Nov. 1637 Court and the Apology for the proceedings of the Gen. Ct. 9 Mar. preced. i. e. Mar. 1636-7, the nauscous detail of the monstrous birth 17 Oct. 1637, by Mrs. Dyer, one of Wheelwright's adherents, as the same was popular, circulat. in Boston, and in almost the same language as Winthrop I. 261-3, has giv. it. A briefer narrat. of her misery in that untimely birth, was print. at London 1642, with other similar cases of misfortune, as I saw in the British Museum. This acco. [[460]] varies only as one relat. of so disgust. a story must be expect. to differ from ano. especial. as every admir. of horrors could then be easi. gratif. when the Gov. had, as he tells us in his hist. by advice of the magistr. and min. caused the decaying remains to be disinterr. Yet what thus bec. fully kn. to prob. most of the men, women, and half gr. ch. within four miles (and Weld liv. only two miles off), is by the Hist. of Boston held for proof, that Winth, not Welde, was the author, as "two men without close confer. could not have writ. things so exactly coinciding." See Drake, 218. Ano. proof of the same nature is brot. forward by a writer with the signature of Hutchinson in the recent. issued Historical Magazine for Nov. 1857, fill. almost four pages at the begin. of the No. After the apology (wh. covers thirteen pages) for the early proceedings at the Gen. Ct. against Wheelwright's Fast sermon, near the top of 59th page, begins prob. Weld's "additions to the conclusion of the book," written in a very different style from the apology, and evident. a continua. from near the bottom of p. 43, and now reaching to the end of the little vol. on p. 66. What gives the chief value to his humble 4to. however, is the Preface, signed T. Welde, in small Rom, cap. for the earlier copies, in small Italic, not cap. in the later. It fills sixteen pages of small type, and is written with great spirit. Equal in pungency to the style of this preface, is that of the conclusions in the last seven pages. Such pungency, using a mild term to express what in the writing of any but a clergym. seems malignity, is not seen in any other writer on that subj. But bef. the Preface is print. a remarkab. address "To the Reader." "I meeting with this Book, newly come forth of the press, and being earnestly pressed by divers to perfect it, by laying down the order and sense of this story (wh. in the Book is omit.) tho. for mine own part, I was more slow unto it; not as if I think it contains any thing but truth, but because the names of some parties that acted in our troubles, that have, since that time (I hope) repented, and so God having pardon. their sins in Heaven, I should have been loth to have reviv. them on earth. But considering that their names are already in Print. without any act of mine, and that the necessity of the times call for it. and its requisite that God's great works should be made known, I therefore, in a straight of time, not having had many hours, have drawn up the following Preface, and prefixed hereunto with some additions to the conclusion of the Book. I commend thyself and this to the blessing of God. T. W." If to disting. the tone and temper of the Apology, that may natural. be presum. the composition of Gov. Winthrop [see his Hist. I. 221] from other parts of the tract, except the documenta. pieces proper [Ib. 248] resort be had to critic. comparis. of style, slight difficult. will attend the separat. of what is betw. the two covers of the binding. [[461]] Against the errors of Wheelwright, and the fantastic revelations of Mrs. Hutchinson, Welde could not more sincerly show his zeal, than Winthrop but his zeal is denunciatory, fierce, and virulent, while that of the Gov. seems cautious, calm, and moderate in terms, decisive in spirit. Even in type of the same forms, it may be followed, like the fabled river, in its nameless course under the sea, as told by Virgil, En. III. 686, bearing the true, unmixed proof of its fountain: nunc Ore. Arethusa, tuo Siculis confunditur undis. Some slight regard to a charge, publish, 26 May 1853, in the Hist. of Boston by Mr. Drake, against my argum. as to the authorship of the "Rise, Reign, and Ruin," p. 249 of Vol. I. of Winthrop Hist. of N. E. may decent. now be shown. That my remarks therein involve an accusat. of Welde "as absurd as it is unjust," may pass without comment; but as the Histor. of Boston proceeds to observe on my criticism that "it is criminal so to do," I appeal from his decision to the competent tribunal of gentlemen and scholars in this and all succeed. ages. Weld had gone him, in comp. with Hugh Peter and Mr. Hibbins in Aug. 1641, they being jointly charg. with a commiss. from the governm. to represent our means and wants, in wh. they met extraord. good success, procuring benefact. to extent of L500. bef. Hibbins's ret. in Aug. foll. I have seen among MSS. in the Col. Libr. copious acco. of Dr. and Cr. of Weld, wh. seems to have suffer, no little suspecion, and rec. some unkind treatm. from our Gen. Ct. wh. hardly ever fail. to be dissatisf. with their agents in Eng. and wh. in Oct. 1645, adopt. a vote, that Mr. Peters and Mr. Weld "having been long absent, may understand the Ct.'s mind, that they desire their presence here, and speedy return." On this ungracious invit, neither came, but ea. gain. destinct. in the mother land. Weld obt. a living at St. Mary Gateshead, Co. Durham, and d. says the rec. of Roxbury ch. (not likely in such a case to be wrong), 23 Mar. 1661; I think it is said, at London. This was soon aft. the Restorat. of the k. and bef. the great ejectm. Perhaps I may be excus. for along explanat. as to what is said in my sec. ed. of Winthrop in a note on I. 248, publish. 1853. Having never bef. 1842, heard any doubts of the agency of Weld in the publicat. of that interest. little volume of wh. everybody knew he acknowledg. the preface and conclusion, and my suspicion being excited, at the British Museum, by the unexpl. address to the Reader, that suspicion in 1843, was express. by me in a single line of my Gleanings in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 285. Attention was thus drawn to the matter, and it was supposed by some that in Baylies's "Dissuasive from the Errours of the Time," London 1645, and Cotton's "Way of Congrega. Chhs. cleared," [[462]] London 1648, wh. had a reply to some of Baylie's aspersions, it might appear, that Gov. Winthrop was as much engag. as Weld in the publicat. of Short Story of The Rise, Reign, and Ruin. A friend lent me these two works, and they did not produce on me the impress. some persons receiv. perhaps without close examinat. For instance, in Ecclesiast. Hist. of N. E. I. 329, Mr. Felt observes on my suppos. that Welde compos. and arrang. the greater part of the work so publish. and that Gov. W. was auth. of the rest, entit. a Brief Apology, &c. and adds, "But it is clear from Baylies and Cotton, that Winth, did write "The Book" as stated by Weld "to the Reader." Now each of the three parts of this affirmat. is wrong. Weld hims. does not state "that Winthrop did write the Book," wh. is too bold and direct assert. for the crafty writer of that addr. wh. does nothing more than suggest that somebody beside T. W. was the writer or editor. Baylies, p. 57, in strong desire to censure Cotton for his familism and antinom. relies upon "the witness of Master Winthrop the wisest of all the N. E. Governors hitherto, and of Master Wells, a gracious minister of that land in their printed Relations of the Schisms there;" and he preceeds to cite passages equally from the Preface or conclusion, as well as from the Proceedings or the Apology, a dozen or twenty from each, but a diligent, not a superficial scrutiny through his quotations will give a great preponderance to those acknowledg. to be Weld's On p. 64 also, Mr. Felt refers to Winthrop's Narration, but in the very last line preced. refers to this work as the testimony also of Weld. In defence of hims. Cotton follows Baylie very closely, quoting the exact phrases of his antagon. and so. p. 56, refers to "the witness of Winthrop and Wells," not even correct. the spell. of his name. On p. 57 citing from B. the "testimony from the Court, wh. (it is likely) was deliv. by Mr. Winthrop being then Gov. [as in] p. 35 of the Short Story," &c. so that the weight of his evidence is, to the least scruple or even grain, of the same weight, and no more, with Baylie's, to prove in Mr. Felt's words "that Winth, did write the Book." Prob. Mr. Felt had not, when he compos. that passage, examin. those authors, or, at least, his survey was cursory, for in Ib. 534, speaking of the publicat. of this pamphlet in 1644, he uses similar words: "Its preface was by Mr. Weld, and the rest of it by Gov. W." overlook. the acknowledgm. of Weld, that the conclusion, wh. even slight observ. must make seven pages, was by him. Writing of the end of Weld's life, Mr. Felt uses more precision, p. 436. "He was engag. with Gov. W. sen. in prepar. the Rise, Reign, and Ruin," &c. in N. E. Yet what Gov. W. contrib. was in Mar. 1636-7, the Apology and perhaps part of the Proceedings in Nov. 1637, publ. in Boston as much as in London, but NOT PRINT. in either, while Weld was the publisher, by [[463]] his own confess. overrul. the London press in 1644, so that my expression, as he fairly gives it on his p. 329, may stand unreprov. Beside, Mr. Felt candidly, p. 554, takes notice, that Wheelwright, s. of Rev. John "endeavors to show from the concessions of Weld, that his f. did not adopt the main principles of his sis.-in-law, Mrs. H." and he still more fairly quotes a let. of 1647, from Hooker of Hartford to Shepard of Cambridge, both of wh. must have kn. what the truth, and the hole truth was a. the publicat. "I cannot be persuad. but these men" [the Scotch Presbyterians, Rutherford and Baylie] HAD A SECRET HAND TO PROVOKE MR. WELD TO SET FORTH HIS SHORT STORY," &c Certain. Weld's desire was not be thot. author of the "Short Story," &c. and he would gladly have the reader presume that Gov. Winthrop whose name belongs to part of the official documenta. matter therein print. had issued the vol. tho. any careful student could detect the most of the pages due to ano. hand. The assist. librar. at Harv. Univ. drew my attention to the vol. of Rutherford, professor at St. Andrews, call. Survey of Spiritual Antichrist. London 1648, p. 171, where he says of our N. E. heretics, "They held these wicked tenets especially, that follow, as may be gathered out of the story of the Rise, Reign, and Ruin of the Antinomians and Libertines that infected the Chhs. of N. E. penned (as I am informed) by M. Winthrope, Gov. a faithful witness, and approv. by M. T. Weld in his preface to the book." This is in c. XV, yet in the next c. p. 180, he twice names Weld as author of that work, as in the first sentence of the same c. p. 176, of Mrs. Hutchinson, one of the authors of the "wicked opinions," he borrows the happy designat. of our Roxbury historian, saying "This woman is call. the American Jezabel." How R. was informed that Gov. W. penned the work, may easily be conceiv. for in his sev. journeys from St. Andrews to London, and back, his road lay straight thro. Gateshead, opposite Newcastle, wh. was Weld's resid. So high was his estimat. of the vol. that in the sec. pt. of R.'s work, it is cit. hardly less than three hundred times, always by the tit. of Rise, Reign, and Ruin. It must be kept. constant. in mind, that Rutherford and Bailie were of the four great Scotch magicians employ. as mem. of the famous Westminister Assembly, that sat above five and a half yrs. to regulate the true faith for all future time. Great opportunities for acquir. knowl. as to every thing. espec. of a relig. value, that had occur. in N. E. were, of course, enjoy. by them. Being sharp, reprov. in the Geneal. Reg. VIII. 84, for what is my sec. ed. of Winthrop's Hist. of N. E. was utter. about the attempt of Weld to conceal his first connex. with this work, I may be permit. in explanat. if not justificat. to add not a little. By the change of words, [[464]] "the authorship" of Short Story is made the matter of controversy, and that man of straw is put forward, wh. may be left to the critic; for my chief inq. was confin. to the publicat. or editorship; having only in a single instance named Weld as author of Rise, Reign, and Ruin, and then in note on Vol. I. 258, in the closest relation to a passage from the preface, signed by hims. and the very last words of the conclusion on p. 66. So that the differ. betw. the critic and myself is very slight, as to material passages by me ascrib. to Weld, "BEYOND WHAT HE HAS HIMS. ACKNOWLEDGE." In the futher opin. of the same writer "that whatever Mr. Weld did, he did under the direction or by the adv. of the dominant party here," all may readi. aggree. A little outbreat of bitterness in the Preface, or in the 'additions to the conclusion of the Book," may seem very natural in that age; and in the larger report of the case of Mrs. H. in Hutch. Hist. II. 482-520, wh. should be read by every one that desires to know the full extent of the tyranny, we easily discern, how eager in the prosecut. were Dudley, the Dept.-Gov. wh. was of Weld's ch. at Roxbury, Endicott, Bartholomew, and Nowell, of the laity, as, of the clerg. Symmes, fellow-passeng. with her, Shepard and Hugh Peter, the fellow-passeng. of W. on the homeward voyage. No one could be misled by my words, as if I asserted that Weld, more than Peters or anybody else, wrote the petition in favor of Wheelwright, or the Apology, or the Proceedings of the Court in the larger part, or the popular report of poor Mrs. Dyer's affliction. He is responsible, as Editor, for all but the strictly official docum. Now without intend. any invidious allegat. as to a single word in the vol. "beyond what he has hims. acknowl." I renew my remark, that he bears the responsib. for all exc. from p. 46 to the third line of p. 59 inclus. bec. it was print. under his direct. and most of it is evident. his own composit. The friend, wh. the critic says pointed out my error, was, yrs. ago, satisfied that I had good grounds for my opinion. The diligent asisst. librar. of Harv. Coll. in his MS. on the reverse of the title-page of "Antinomians and Familists condemned," had noted, that it was the same work with Weld's Short Story, and infer. that it was an earlier impression, because Short Story gain. the Note to the Reader and the Preface; and he then adds (without hestitat.) from that address, that it appears, Thomas Welde "was not the author of what is contained in the present vol." His caution was not excit. by the admiss. of Weld hims. as to the "additions to the conclusion of the book," and he believe. what the rev. casuist cunning desir. rather than what he said. My suggestion that this title-page was a sneaking device to give support to the false implicat. in the Note to the Reader, is by the Geneal. Reg. critic submerg. in the conject. that it "might have been, and no doubt was, a [[465]] printer's error" !! Large inq. has been provok. by this bold assumption and unusual state of things. The first result is from collation by Mr. Livermore of the copy in College Libr. of "Antinomians and Familists," with the Athemaeum copy of the "Short Story," and he assures me that it is apparent that from p. 1 to 66, where the Athenaeum copy breaks off, the correspondence is perfect in every letter, typographical error or not, as l. 6 on p. 46 spread has the let. r pushed out of its place, so that the lower is as high as the upper part of the letters on either side: -as p. 1 of Short Story, begins with signat. B. in the copy that has sixteen or eighteen pages of prefatory matter, so begins with signat. B. the copy devoid of those pages; and so on p. 9 in each of these books is signature C -- on 17 D -- on 25 E, &c. with the trifling except. on p. 62, 1. 8, the parag. ends in one with the words "slighted had so much," in the other, "had so much slighted," no letter being changed. An expert in printing, or even an apprentice, would judge of Antinomians and Familists, &c. from sig. B on p. 1, that sig. A had once preced. it, tho. page 1 follows next aft. title-page. Mr. Marvin, an accomplish, printer, on first sight observ. that the Preface had been suppressed, and that the title-page was print. from the same form as Short Story, substituting other words, for all above the imprint. Indeed, to suppose it possib. that the work, without the preface, was issued first, is very like the expectat. of seeing the second story of an edifice sustain itself in the air before the first is built for its support. The forms are identical, the ornaments unchanged, as on the title-pages of both a border of twenty-one types or beads runs by the sides, nineteen more at the top, and eighteen at the bot.; and no letters were distrib. from the form to the case betw. the strikings off for one and the other through the whole. Yet so widely differ the title-pages, that one would judge instantly, that years might interven. betw. them, one showing only forty-one words, the other, one hundred and fifty-six, above the imprint; while that imprint of three lines disproves the whole cunning of the change, for there exactly as in the body of the two books, all the letters, and figures, and imperfections, and punctuation, and errors, were immovable. The words above the imprint in one are removed from the other, and new ones inserted, except the very large letters of the single word NEW-ENGLAND running wholly across the wide page, some of wh. the keen eye of my young friend, W. H. Whitmore, detected as unmoved; and a less practised vision would instantly perceive, when directed to it, how the first E in that word differs from the sec. E and confidently assume that the enormity of the first E might prove it to be the only one of the kind in the print. office of Ralph Smith. The last letter but one of that word in a copy wh. to me seems clearly, by a hundred indicat. to have been [[466]] among the earliest taken off from the standing form, is a well looking, perfect captital, but in two other copies appears to have its face battered, as if it had been in irregular company, and in the only other copy ever seen by me, the body appears to have a twist, wh. may account for the bruise on its face. Which now, of these two, both print. early in 1644, was prior? Very short time, only few hours prob. elaps. betw. them; and further scrutiny of the note to the Reader may be useful to aid the decision of that question. The opening words are "meeting with this Book, newly come forth of the Press;" and it is very strange, that no other man than Thomas Weld is kn. to have ever seen such a supposed book, bef. or since. Industry was most active, in that day of civil war, to hunt up every thing as soon as print. The eager friend of King Charles I. in London, whose assiduous attent. to such serv. furnishes one of the most curious and complete assortment of treasures in the British Museum, contain. near. thirty thousand pieces and tracts, bound in over two thousand vols. in the order of success, dates betw. 1640 and 1660,must be inq. of whether this be one book or two. Now in that vast collect. this tract stands with only the tit. Short Story, &c. obtain. by the book collector 19 Feb. 1643, and no such work as "Antinomians and Familists condemn." &c. is nam. Next, in reference to the point of priority, should be weigh. what is told in that note to the Reader, as to the names of some that acted in our troubles, wh. the writer says "are already in print. without any act of mine." But we are left uncertain, whether that print without his act means (as seems fairly to follow) in the Book newly come forth. Unless it may be shown, that such print. of the names can be found elsewhere than in Short Story, bef. the issue of Antinomians and Familists condemn. it may well be thought this addr. to the reader is only a subterfuge. Such evidence it may be hard to find; yet no other man than Weld can be nam. wh. would in London be so deeply engag. in such cause. But what motive had Weld to make such a statement? To this question, a reasonable reply is, that he might fear prosecution for libels by one or another. Friends of the parties implicat. must have been numerous eno. in London; for tho. Gov. Cradock, Sir Richard Saltonstall, Sir Bryan Jansen, treas. Harwood, Alderm. Andrews, Col. Ven and others, may have been impartial, Sir H. Vane would, of course, sympathize with Cotton, Wheelwright, and the majority of his fellow-worship. in Boston ch. Mr. Hutchinson also had a br. there, wh. had liv. here, was of high esteem and large property, and beside others of the Antinom. party, Coggeshall was a man of influence in Boston, and Aspinwall a ready writer, both able to command friends in the great city; while Wheelwright, s. of one of the [[467]] princip. suffer. was able to issue the very next yr. in "Mr. Weld's his Antitype" observat. on "a paper styled a Short Story of the Rise, Reign," &c. Even without suppos. any unworthy fear in him that prompt. what he wish to have consid. as a sec. ed. of a Book bef. issued by ano. person, and that, as he says, "the necessity of the times call for it, and its requisite that God's great works should be made known," he might deceive himself into the hope, that "Antinomians and Familists condemn." tho. issued by the same publisher, the same yr. if publish. without preface, would to taken to be a different composure from Short Story, with a preface one quarter as large as the whole work. Well might he believe, that in those stirring times of extreme convulsion and civil war, nobody would have the leisure and take the trouble to ascertain, that his publicat. was indeed two faces under one hood. Next may our scrutiny be applied to his excuse of "being earnestly presseed by divers to perfect" the work, "by laying down the order and sense of this story." Perhaps any other man, with half as much literary skill as T. W. would have giv. a very differ. ORDER to his materials, at least so far as chronology is concered. If he did not print the Apology for the Gen. Ct. of Mar. 1636-7, begin. p. 46 before the result of the Synod 30 Aug. - 22 Sept. foll. wh. begins on p. 1, he would naturally (unless blinded by a strong sensibility) have giv. it place prior to the preced. of not merely a later sess. of the same, but of ano. Gen. Ct. in Nov. 1637, wh. begins on p. 21 See our Col. Rec. I. 187 to 205. What good reason for breach of such natural sequence of time can be conjectur. I see not, nor is it necessary to think of a bad one; especial. as in putting all the matter bef. p. 46, Mr. Weld, the Editor, seems to have arrang. with high regard to this point, making a blunder of Oct. 2 for Nov. 2 as date of open. the session of the Ct. that the postponement of Mrs. Dyer's unhappiness, wh. had been at two public lectures of the first ch. largely spoken of by Mr. Cotton (as Winthrop tells, in his Hist.) when prob. Mr. Weld and other min. from the neighb. twons (wh. usually attend. the Thursday lect. were present) 17 Oct. might seem to be in a fit place. A reasonable cause for this breach of natural order may be found in the circumstances that led Weld (but would lead no other person) to think more of Mrs. Hutchinson than any thing else in the long agony of the antinom. controv. In Nov. 1637 she was commit. to custody of Joseph Weld, own br. of the casuist, in the town of Roxbury, her banishm. being suspend. until the spring. While thus a prisoner for more than four mos. all access of husband, childr. friends denied, exc. with leave of the Ct. as in Col. Rec. I. 207-25 is seen, she was expos. to visitat. of any holy inquisitor; and the min. of R. must have used his sacred office with equal ardor for her conversion, and [[468]] vexation at his ill success. This will explain to milder natures, the wondrous malediction with wh. he closes the Short Story. Still the suspicion arises, from the anxious reference to "laying down the order and sense of the story," that the ill arangement is due to design rather than accident. How else could occur the interrupt. on p. 43, where the parag. ends wiht the words "issue whereof is set down in the next," when we are unable to find the next, and connnect. thread for more than fifteen pages onward, or a chasm of near one quarter of the surface of the vol. Would not any ingenuous mind, on sec. reading, become suspicious at the apparent anxiety express. in that "addr. to the Reader" (whether spring. from fear or ill-will), lest the writer of the long preface, might be thot. to have had too intimate connex. with the prodution of the ensuing short story? Words are liable to misapprehens. we all know, from carelessness or ignor. of him who uses them; but especially when equivocat. is resolv. on; and in writing much more than in oral speech, we wish for precision, not ambiguity. Yet an author's idea may be mistaken when he intended to be punctiliously precise, tho. less frequent. than if he be habitual. careless. His words convey sometimes more, or others less than he intend. Of course two readers may obtain from the same words quite dissimilar impressions. A recent example will illustrate. In note 1, on p. 238 of Winthrop I. my first ed. 1825, I had printed this remark. "The work has not, I presume, been often quoted within a century." Of course the same words stand in the next ed. 1853. Citing this passage, the writer, careless or over cautious, of the review in Geneal. Reg. 1854, adds, "and yet we know that it has been very often quoted within a quarter of a century." On cursory perusal, this may, in one man's opin. seem a contradiction; while a slower reader would perhaps give it very differ. name. If the two readers call for solution of the oracular ambiguity of the writer, prob. a short minute's explanat. would make their judgments agree. Now to conclude the point of priority of issue -- the fictitious titlepage "Antinom. and Fam. condemn." assum. in Geneal. Reg. to be "no doubt a printer's error," as if by fortuitous concourse of atoms, it fell into that place, I had presum. to be unique, having only heard of the single copy in the Coll. Libr. I have gain. recent knowl. of ano. copy in the collection of Rev. Dr. Choules, since his d. together with his copy of Short Story, dispers. by auction. Whatever value, more or less, was then due to my infer. from the Coll. copy, as a device to cover Weld's connect. with the Book, is of course doubled, and proportional. weaken. is the assumpt. that it was "no doublt printer's error." Evidence positive, is, also, obtain. that the Choules copy of Short Story, with the note to Reader, Preface, and P. S. and ano. own. by Col. Aspinwall, whichever [[469]] of the two were first struck off, came both from the press BEF. the delusive publicat. of the same work under the title of "Antinomians," &c. WITHOUT the malignant preface. The testimony is indubita. it appeals to the eye; and tho. the form of ea. of the 66 pages in all the copies is unchanged, slight correct. of errors in the earlier ones are traced clearly in the later. For instance, the sig. of p. 1 of Short Story, in the copies of Aspinwall and Choules, is C. 2; -- of p. 3 is C. 3, and so onward to p. 65 wh. is L. 2, whereas the two copies of Coll. and Choules of the same work, under the NEW title without Preface, begin. (as does the Athenaeum copy with the Preface and old title) with B. for sig. of p. 1, and so proced. to p. 65 wh. is K. Will any sagacious observer doubt about priority? Each of the copies, of so great rarity, has worth of its own; and that of our Athenaeum, tho. wanting the four last pages, derives high value from the notes in sev. places, writ. by Thomas Prince above one hundred and twenty yrs. since, especially his testimon. on the title-page, "Preface and conclusion by Thomas Welde." This is the well-kn. handwrit. of the Annalist. My presumpt. is that this identical tract was once his, for in his own catal. he inserts, in its proper place, "T. Welde's Short Story, &c. London 1644," and it is not now found in his N. E. library. A very valua. copy of the unmutilat. work, own. by Charles Deane, concurs with the Coll. copy depriv. of its Preface, and issued under the new name, in every word and letter, monk or friar, or other irregularity, like the imperfect copy of the Athenaeum, exc. as bef. explain. in the changed place of a single word, slighted, on p. 62, that requir. no editorial cunning, but must have been done by a compositor. Will any one doubt that Mr. Deane's copy (after the Preface, wh. is not seen in the Coll. copy) was struck off from the same forms as that, when he compares not pages merely, but words, and even letters in each, as on p. 12, the remarkab. first letter of Error 65, unlike any other in the long enumeration, or p. 4, the strange initial of Confutation 19, or asks, without expecting answers, why the letter C. should have different shapes, proudly beginning Confutat. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 15, 18, 20 to 40 inclus. 42-56 inclus. 61-65 inclus. 68-75 inclus. 81 and 82, in ITALIC TYPE in each of the books, while it subsides into the modest Roman in 4, 5, 8, 9, and all the others? Similar exact conformity as to the spelling of the word, according to the then established usage, Errour, is found in both, and similar, also, is the use or non-use of the double e in be, he, me, she. For instance "Antinomians and Familists" of the Coll. Libr.has the important word, for the first twenty times that it heads a parag. p. 1-4 spelled without u; but the next nineteen times, the u creeps in; the [[470]] ensuing twenty-seven times it is ejected; fourteen times next follow. is bless. with u; and lastly No. 81 is written with five letters, and No. 82 with six; while in every one of them Mr. Dean's copy of Short Story agrees. More striking is this conformity, because apparently earlier copies vary much in such petty particulars. The solitary, abnormal E. in Mr. Dean's copy, Error 65, changes places with Col. Aspinwall's E. in Error 72, and so no complaint of partiality can arise. Still, it may be said the identity of Dean's "Short Story" with Coll. "Antinomians and Familists" being established, nothing is yet clearly shown to prove, wh. first came from the press, but only that, whichever was first, the other follow. very soon, perhaps in few hrs. or even minutes. Now by comparing with Dean's copy (that has the preface) that of Aspinwall (wh. is equally complete) it may easily be seen that A's. is several hours, or even days, earlier in its issue. But bef. taking up the preface, where the diversity is greater, let the curious student look at two or three small points in the body of the work, wh. is identical in substance, and seeming. in letter also, with the Coll. tract that wants the preface. On p. 1 in the Confutat. 4 and 5, the citation from the prophet Isaiah viii. 20, in A's. copy writ. Eas, in D's. and Coll. copies becomes Esay; p. 2, under Error 8, Corinth. in A's. copy, is properly shortened inthe otehr two to Cor.---p. 3, line 5, true (in the brackets) it changed from Italic, as it is in A's. copy, into Roman letters to conform with other Roman letters in the same passage of the other copies; p. 21, in the blunder of date of the term of Court (wh. could not have been mistak. by Gov. Winthrop) October in A's. copy is abbrev. in the others to Octob. Weld in London wrote the wrong mo. P. 33 in two places, A's copy has Hutchinson, but in seventeen other places the name is Hutchison, without n in sec. syl. while the other copies give the name every time without that letter, so preserving uniformity betw. spell and sound; p. 35, the rule "I permit not a Woman to teach," in A's. copy is print. in the Italic; in the other two, in Roman character, conformably to the rest of the page, and the cap. W. of A. is reduced in these to a small letter; and other examples abundantly serve to prove, that A's. was the earlier impression, correct. by the compositor in later ones. The texture of the paper in the different copies seems different, Aspinwall's being manifest. coarser. The top of Aspinwall's p. 7 is printed 9, and 10 is used for 8, 11 for 9, and so on, until, by giv. 15 and 16 twice, his copy agrees with others, in all the later pages; but the other copies throughout have a military accuracy of count. A correct. copy may certain. well seem later than one less correct, and instances enough may be seen in that of Col. A. having double e, where Mr. Deane's has single e, as in the passage on p. 62, so oft. refer. to, the latter reads "she [[471]] had so much slighted" when the former adds an e to the first word, and crowds ano. e. bef. i in the last word. May I not suggest, with becoming modesty, that the better copy is the later? Yet more direct is the evidence (to the same point) derived from what printers call overrunning or spacing out, to improve the appearance of a line or a page. Several such I pass by in the first fifteen pages, as also words chang. from Italic to Roman letters, but on 16th p. the top line of Aspinwall's copy contains at the end the citat. "Acts 15; 9," wh. is made the whole of sec. line in the others. Then to equalize the number of lines in the respective pages, the last line of A's. copy becomes first of p. 17 in the others. Many more might be quoted, but beside that it would be tiresome to do it, the GREAT evidence of unlikeness of beginning and ending of lines, without changing word or letter, exc. in space, is found in the preface. Let the introduct. note to the Reader, sixteen lines in A's seventeen in D's copy, be compar. in the two books by laying one alongside of the other, and the same heavy mass of ornament at the top of the page is seen, -- as well as the beautiful decoration around the big I. with wh. Weld opens in ea. -- the types are the same in every letter, exc. that "straite of time" in A's. copy gains one letter in D's. by spell. "straight." Yet, altho. the initials append. (T. W.) are identical in both, the technical sig. A. 2 in Aspinwall's is deficient in Deane's; so also A. 3 on the p. next but one of A. in D's. appears * 3; and the page in A's. copy with sig. B. has two stars in D's. copy instead of a letter, and so onward, until the page last but one of the preface in A's copy, with sig. C. becomes sig. A. and last but two in D's copy. Of the earlier impress. every one of the lines is overrun, and spaced out in the later. The same cap. I. imbedd. in an ornam. wh. is seen in the opening of note to the reader for both copies of A. and D. appears the first letter on p. 1 of three copies of Aspinwall, Coll. and Deane; but in the third the color of the decoration is very much darker than in those two. Very great variety is seen in the preface, especially in the ornament across the first page, and the types for title, while hardly a letter is changed, and the forms plainly are the same; that is, the types were never distrib. A's. copy gives the first word "AFTER," while D's uses Italic caps. for the whole word; and the first letter is twice as large in the latter copy, and five-fold more decorat. Nine lines of the first page run over from Aspinwall's to the sec. of Deane's; and the last nine lines on the next of A. become ten lines in D. and twelve lines at the foot of next p. in A. swell into fourteen upon the top of the foll. in D. The accumulat. is seventeen on D's next page, eighteen on next; but with that number the addition ceases; and the Col's awkward squad is made to dress regularly in lines thus altered; [[472]] that is the last eighteen lines, inclus. of the previous signat. T. Welde, closing the preface, run over form the foot of Aspinwall's page, and spread upon the upper middle of Deane's. Nothing else is seen to change betw. Aspinwall's and Deane's beyond the trifling amendm. that a compositor naturually introduces, such as substituting "and" for &, and reduc. the author's name from Roman caps. to Italic in conformity with the preced. type. Deane's is the most correct exemplar, but Aspinwall's for its very incorrectness ten times more valuable in petty history. Will any one but Mr. Drake believe, that all the succession of appearances proves nothing to strengthen into certainty my conject. how Weld desired to supply a shield for his temerity, or a cover for his cowardice? -- that the long title-page of "Short Story" was not print. bef. "Antinomians and Familists" was writ.? -- that this new title for the same book instead of a "printer's error" sprang not from design and intent to mystify? -- or that it is wrong in me, at this late day, to expose such a typograph. curiosity? Would any London printer in 1644, I dare to ask, after having a corrected copy of a work, as Antinomians and Familists (if printed first) is shown to be, immediately after issue, from the same forms, an impression of Rise, Reign, and Ruin, with a copious preface and address to the Reader, and postscript, containing many errors and obliquities of type (in the BODY of same work) as Aspinwall's and Choules's copies exhibit? Two questions natural. arise to embarrass those that would glad. seem believers of Weld's ingenuousness, -- first, wh. was corrector of the press that obtain. aft. three or four trials, as pure a text for "Short Story," as was enjoy. by "Antinomians and Familists," if this tract were print. bef. that, when both tracts are tak. from the same types lock. up into the same form AT LAST, when "Antinomians and Familists" agree wholly with the latest impression of the Short Story? -- sec. who gave Thomas Weld the right to put a preface equal to one fourth of the tractate, with an address to the Reader, beside "laying down the order and sense wh. in the book is [was] omit." "as also additions to the conclusion of the book?" He prob. utter. indirect suggestions, ambiguas spargere voces, that the orig. work was above six yrs. bef. concoct. in Boston, where Winthrop was in the chair of Gov. when SHORT STORY was purch. in London by the King's purveyor, perhaps in few hours from its issue, and where I doubt not the publisher of ANTINOMIANS AND FAMILISTS had act. as the Editor of what, on our side of the water, when forgotten on the other, was down to 1843, always called Weld's Rise, Reign, and Ruin. As to any moral delinquency in my regard "to the memory of Mr. Welde." that may be left in silence, without fear, to any human tribunal; but in the Court of criticism, I can kiss the rod cheerfully, and [[473]] desire only that my submiss. continue until competent opinion be obtained as to whose back it should fall upon. Yet the sentence pronounc. against my criminality, in exposing the attempt at decept. by Rev. T. Weld, may lessen the reverence due to the spotless judicial ermine, even on the shoulders of the historian of Boston. Some readers perhaps will rejoice that so many hours were giv. to this investigat. by sev. of my friends, tho. that the collation of both copies of Mr. Choules's vol. under the true and the spurious title, was confin. of necessity to few hours by a most cautious reader in the auction room, only few days bef. the sale, is much regret.; yet they may hereafter be on their guard against the artifice of a casuist, that for a season delud. the sagacity of the sublibrarian of Harv. and triumph. over the innocence of Felt. * THOMAS, Roxbury, s. of the preced. b. in his f's parish in Eng. where certif. of his bapt. may be seen, freem. 1654, m. 4 June 1650, Dorothy, d. of Rev.

THOMAS, Hartford, an orig. propr. as also at Wethersfield, appears first in the Rec. of that Col. Trumbull I. 9, as the sec. magistr. at the Gen. Ct. 1 May 1637, when war was denounc. against the Pequots, they hav. long been hostile, and the proportion of 90 men fixed for the sev. plana. viz. Hartford, 42, Windsor, 30, and Wethersfield, 18. Yet it is quite uncert. when he came from Eng. tho. satisfactor. kn. that he brot. three s. John, Thomas, and Samuel, and three ds. Mary, wh. d. bef. her f. prob. unm. Ann, and Sarah; equal. uncert. is the name of his w. though we can hardly doubt whether he brot. one; and stranger still is the uncertainty of his prior resid. in Mass. He had good proportion of the patents for Swampscot and Dover, wh. he sold Aug. 1648, to Christopher Lawson. We may then safely conclude, that a person of his educ. and good est. had not come over the water bef. 1636, and that he staid so short a time at Boston or Cambridge as to leave no trace of hims. at either, and he was estab. at Hartford bef. Gov. Haynes left Cambridge. There is, indeed, a very precise tradit. of his coming, with f. Nathaniel, in the fleet with Higginson, 1629, to Salem; but that is merely ridiculous. He took, for sec. w. a. 1645, Elizabeth wid. of Nathaniel Foote of Wethersfield; on the d. of Gov. Haynes, 1 Mar. 1654, the Dept. Edward Hopkins being in Eng. on pub. business, he was made head of the Col. with title of Moderator, but on the day of elect, in May, Hopkins was chos. Gov. and Welles Dept. tho. H. never came back to conn. being tak. by the great Protector into his Parliam. so that in 1655, hav. had the duty to fulfil in the vaction of the chair, he was chos. Gov. and Webster, Dept. and in 1656, accord. to the constitut. of the Col. "that no person be chos. Gov. above once in two yrs." Webster was made Gov. and in 1657, Winthrop Gov. while Welles was Dept. both yrs. and in 1658 made Gov. again with Winthrop for Dept. Both chang. places in May 1659, and Welles d. 14 Jan. foll. at Wethersfield. His wid. d. 28 July 1683; d. Ann m. 14 Apr. 1646, Thomas Thompson of Farmington, and next, Anthony Hawkins; and Sarah m. Feb. 1654, capt. John Chester, outliv. him less than ten yrs. and d. 16 Dec. 1698. THOMAS, Ipswich, perhaps a physician, came in the Susan and Ellen from London, with young Richard Saltonstall, aged 30, and perhaps w. Ann, 20; was made freem. 17 May 1637, had three s.

Winthrop Apr. 1662, as a grantee, rep. May foll. Assist. 1668, and next mo. was k. by a fall, as the ch. rec. of Roxbury notes "from one of his cherry-trees." Those cherry-trees some unpractis. reader of old rec. had by conject. giv. chariot, in copy. Bradstreet's Journal, as if in 1668 in the streets of H. chariots were plenty as cucumbers. See Geneal. Reg. VIII. 326, and correct, in the ensu. vol. His wid. d. 9 Aug. 1683, Rebecca m. 18 Aug. 1680, James Judson of Stratford, and d. 3 Nov. 1717; and Sarah m. 6 Nov. 1678, John Bidwell, jun.

This union is worthy of note, because in our rec. the two fam. names Winslow and Wensley, interchangeab. may be seen confus. a thousand times, the same individ. in one line call. different from ano. line on same page. Ano. ch. was John, b. 8 Feb. 1675. From his will, 9 Dec. 1672, we find he was bound on a voyage, divides est. into eight equal parts, of wh. two to his w. two to s. Richard, left one ea. to the ds. of wh. the youngest was then unb. but by codic. in our Vol. VI. made 26 Dec. 1675, is told that "God hath giv. me two ch. more since the above." Very curious is it, that the will of his Wensley, in the rec. immediately follows that of Samuel Winslow, also of Boston, mariner. His d. Mercy m. Joseph Bridgham, Esq. and next, 8 Dec. 1712, Hon. Thomas Cushing. NATHANIEL, Salisbury, s. of the first Samuel, b. prob. in Eng. old eno. to be tax. 1650, m. 14 Oct. 1661, Mary Jones, in the will of her f. Thomas, call. Winslow, as memb. of the milit. force, took o. of alleg. 13 Dec. 1677, bot. of John Alcock, in 1661 part 1-32 of Block Island. It had been sold to A. by John Endicott, Daniel Dennison, and William Hathorne, to wh. it was giv. by Mass. governm. for their serv. in the Pequot war, when the conquest was made; and he seems to have been at Block Island 1685. * SAMUEL, an early grantee, with Bradstreet, Dudley, and others, of Colchester 1638, but not orig. sett. of Salisbury, dignif. with prefix of respect in 1650, when he and s. Nathaniel and Samuel, were tax. The s. I suppose, as well as d. Deborah, with w. Elizabeth he brot. from Eng. but other ch. b. here, were Ephraim, 15 Apr. 1641; Elisha, 30 May 1646; and the w. d. 2 June 1649. He was freem. 22 May 1639, and invent. mode of mak. salt, to wh. our Gen. Ct. gave encouragem. as in Rec. I. 331 and II. 5, or Felt II. 176. He was rep. 1642, 5, and 53; d. 2 June 1663; and his wid. Ann, a sec. w. m. 1657, wid. of Henry Boade of Wells, d. 21 Mar. 1677. SAMUEL, Salisbury, s. of the preced. perhaps eldest, b. prob. in Eng. made his will 1665, but whether he had w. or ch. is not kn. to me. What wid. W. Sewall refers to, in his diary, sub. Dec. 1686, Geneal. Reg. VI. 73, when he ment. d. of her s. Jenner in Eng. is beyond my conject. but it may not prob. be Ann, the wid. of Henry Boarde of Wells or Saco, wh. in 1657 agreed to m. this Samuel; nor should I refer to so unimport. a fact, were it not to save trouble to some hunter of the Indexes of Geneal. Reg. that Wersley VI. 243, means the same man. Sometimes this name is confound. with Winslow; and almost as oft. the name in Col. Rec. is Winslow, as otherwise.

He was d. bef. Jan. 1710, when his wid. Martha, gave receipt in full to Judge Sewall, for all she had ever done for the Punkipaug Ind. Compare the discord. reports that the unwearied genealog. of the fam. (the Mayor of Chicago) had to encounter in Reg. IV. 327, VI. 213, and VIII. 246. PAUL, Dover, s. of William of the same, tax. there 1682, sold his est. at D. says the fam. acco. 15 Apr. 1696, then call. hims. of Newbury, but Mr. [[485]] Coffin omits him. He belongs. to Rowley at that time, where eleven of his ch. by w. Catharine were bapt. 17 May 1696, said Farmer, but only ten had been b. at that time. However, he had thirteen, as he caused them to be put upon rec. at Norwich, whither he had rem. from New London, if Farmer be right, as he gives him recommend. from R. to that place, June 1707; but prob. Miss Caulkin's would not have been silent on so good a point, and we may presume his change was only from R. direct to Norwich. The ch. may have been b. at Dover, Newbury, or Rowley; but more import, is the name and date of ea. William, 25 Dec. 1680; Sylvanus, 28 Feb. 1682; Paul, 10 May 1682 (wh. or the two preced. must be wrong); Ebenezer, 18 June 1683; Martha, 9 Feb. 1685; Mercy, 18 July 1686; Aaron, 13 July 1687; Moses, 17 Apr. 1689; Mary, 25 Dec. 1692; Catharine, 28 July 1694; Sarah, 8 Apr. 1697; Benjamin, 28 Dec. 1698; and Edward, 20 June 1700. He was liv. May 1746 (but his w. was then d.), and d. bef. Jan. 1751. See Reg. VII. 265. SAMUEL, Dover, eldest s. of William of the same, tax. 1659, sw. fidel. 1669, freem. 1676, by w. Mary, whose fam. name was prob. Benning, and perhaps she was d. of Ralph, had Samuel, b. 9 Apr. 1666; Daniel 21 Oct. 1669, d. at 21 yrs.; John, 16 Jan. 1672, wh. was made Lieut-Gov. of the Prov.; Mary, 5 Feb. 1674; Ebenezer, 9 Apr. 1677; Dorothy, 27 June 1680; and Benning, 28 June 1682, d. young; and the f. d. at Portsmouth, 25 Mar. 1690, of smallpox.

SYLVANUS, Dover, one of the younger s. of Elder William of the same, it is said, m. at Rowley, 7 Nov. 1685, Elizabeth Stewart, possib. d. of Duncan, but why the est. on wh. he was liv. 1693, was then giv. by his f. to s.

Timothy, Samuel, Mary, and Sarah. But his w. d. near the same time with him, it is said, and was bur. in the same gr. WILLIAM, Dover, rul. Elder, had first been at Exeter, 1639, in the orig. combina. with thirty-four others, and it may be that he had accomp. his fr. John Wheelwright across the ocean in 1636. He had foll. him from E. to Wells, where he was made constable 1648, but in 1650 seems ot have fix. his resid. at D. [[486]] where he was selectman 1665, as resolute for Mass. jurisdict. as he had been against it; preach. in 1666, had w. Elizabeth and ch. Samuel, b. 1641 perhaps at E. perhaps at W.; John; Gershom; Ezekiel; Timothy; Paul; Sylvanus; Ephraim; and Benjamin; yet the order of success. is conject. d. 16 Mar. 1698, aged near 90, it is thot. His only d. Elizabeth whose date of b. is uncert. but suppos. a. 1663, m. Richard Tozer the sec. A plausible case for ano. d. Sarah, was furnish. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 304, because Paul W. being guardian of those ch. by their own choice, as appears in Bond, 14, is call. uncle of Sarah and Benjamin Barnard, ch. of Benjamin and Sarah B. To this in the next vol. of Reg. p. 48 is repl. that perhaps the w. of Paul was a Barnard, sis. of their f. and again it may be equal. prob. that their mo. was sis. of the w. of Paul; so that the chance is two to one against the suppos. Six of this fam. as Farmer notes, had been gr. at Harv. WERMALL, or WORMALL, JAMES, Duxbury, had, Deane says, been of Scituate 1638, but at D. had Josiah, b. 1670; and John, wh. Winsor adds, m. 9 June 1698, Mary Barrows, and d. 1711 at Bridgewater. JOSEPH, Scituate 1638, rem. soon to Duxbury, had w. Miriam, ch. Josiah, Sarah, and perhaps Esther, wh. m. 20 Aug. 1669 as his sec. w. Jospeh Dunham. JOSEPH, Boston, 1650.

DANIEL, New Hampsh. of wh. all that I kn. is, that he join. with most of the other inhabs. 20 Feb. 1690, in desir. the protect. of Mass. to be extend. over them. JEREMIAH, Warwick, s. perhaps youngest of Stukely, m. 27 July 1665, Ellen England, had Jeremiah, b. 7 Oct. 1666; Elenor, 20 Oct. 1669; Pevis? wh. d. Aug. 1673, near three yrs. old; Stukely, Oct. 1672; and d. 1686; but his will, then made, according to the strange custom of that jurisdict. ment. four other ch. Josiah; Samuel; William; and Benjamin, of wh. Josiah had abund. offspring. RICHARD, Wethersfield 1639-44, rem. to Fairfield, there d. a. 1651, leav. four ch. John; Daniel; Joanna; and Abigail. His wid. Joanna m. Nathaniel Baldwin; d. Joanna m. a. 1664, John Weed; and Abigail, m. a. 1669, Moses Knapp. Tho. both the s. liv. many yrs. at Stamford, nothing more can be told of either; but they were gone by d. or rem. [[487]] bef. 1700. ROBERT, Warwick, s. of Stukely of the same, is among the freem. of 1655 in Haz. II. 372, by w. Catharine had Catharine, b. 6 May 1664, at W.; Zorobabel, 13 Apr. 1666; rem. to Portsmouth or Newport, and had Dinah, Feb. 1670; Mary, 2 June 1672; Samuel, 18 Sept. 1672; and Robert, 2 Apr. 1678. He had connex. with the Wickford planta. 1674. STUKELY, Salem 1636, impres. with views of the Bapt. by Roger Williams, he was, with his w. excommun. 1639, with W. and others, and they had gone, 1637, to Providence. Aft. the establishm. of the rights of Gorton and assoc. Wescott rem. to Warwick 1648, was one of the freem. 1665, and there resid. I judge, until the end of his days, 12 Jan. 1678. His ch. were Damaris, Amos, Jeremiah, Robert, and Mercy or Sarah. He is the first nam. grantee in Roger William's deed to his assoc. Damaris m. Benedict Arnold; and Mercy or Sarah m. Samuel Stafford. WILLIAM, Wethersfield 1639. WESSON. See Weston. WEST, BENJAMIN, Enfield 1686, m. 14 Mar. 1692, Hannah, d. prob. of Elias Shaddock, had Hannah, b. 24 May 1693; rem. to Middletown, there had Benjamin, 1 June 1696; Mary, 1 Apr. 1699; beside Abigail, 23 July 1716; and perhaps others. The name of his w. is read Shattuck by one; but ano. calls it Haddock, and conject. of a skilful antiq. makes it to be Hadlock, perhaps d. of James. * EDWARD, Lynn 1637, of wh. all I can say is, that Farmer quotes Lewis 64. * EDWARD, Medfield, freem. 1672, was, I presume, of Sherborn few yrs. aft. a lieut. 1682, selectman 1684, and rep. 1689. EDWARD, Dorchester, freem. 1673, wh. may seem only a repetit. of the name of the freem. of the yr. bef. call. of Medfield, for none with this is heard of at D. The succeed. ages owe much to the heedlessness of Seer. Rawson. FRANCIS, DUXBURY 1643, was one of the first proprs. of Bridgewater 1645. Baylies H. 254. HENRY, Salem, freem. 1668, was a saddler. His w.

He was employ. 1663, by the Col. to survey the bounds betw. S. and Killingworth. * JOHN, Saco, was of gr. jury 1640, sw. alleg. to Mass. 1653, sold his est. in few yrs. to maj.

JOHN, Boston, Seer. of the arbitra. governm. of Sir Edmund Andros, was seiz. and sent home with him 1689. I presume his only ch. d. Feb. 1688, as Sewall notes bur. 29 of the mo. in his diary. JOHN, Ipswich, perhaps s. of John of the same, by w. Sarah had Elizabeth b. 31 July 1688; and John, 25 Feb. 1691. JOHN, Rowley, 1691. MATTHEW, Lynn 1636, freem. 9 Mar. 1637, was aft. 1646 of Newport, and is seen in the freemen's list 1655. NATHANIEL, Newport, by Farmer is call. one of the founders of the first Bapt. ch. 1644. ROBERT, Providence 1641, one of the friends of Williams, wh. denounc. Gorton and his assoc. to the Mass. as seen in Geneal. Reg. IV. 216, or 3 Mass. Hist. Coll.

THOMAS, Wethersfield m. 1677, and by w. Elizabeth had Christopher, b. 1678; and Mary, 1680; was poor. * THOMAS, Hadley, rep. 1686. TWYFORD, Marshfield 1643, had come from London to Boston in the autumn of 1635, aged 19, by the Hopewell, capt. Babb, and was, I think, of Rowley 1667; and liv. at Salem, perhaps 1677, and Ipswich 1678. WILLIAM, Salem, m. 30 Aug. 1672, Mary Hilliard, perhaps d. of Edward of the same, had Joseph, b. 30 May 1673, d. 26 Aug. foll. Of this, tho. Farmer had no census of the name, I find thirteen gr. at Harv. and four at Yale. WESTALL, WESTELL, or WESTOLL, DANIEL, New Hampsh. in Farmer's MS. notes, must, I believe, be the man by me giv. from Geneal. Reg. VIII. 235 as Wescott. JOHN, Saybrook 1653, allow. to keep an inn 1663, and there d. 12 Feb. 1683. His wid. Susanna d. 18 Mar. 1684. By her he had Susanna, b. 1650, wh. d. bef. her f.

Thomas, wh. in the expedit. of 1720 to Kennebeck, hoped to have seized Father Rasles at his mission of Norridgewock.

DANIEL, Stamford, propound, for freem. 1670. JOHN, Boston, was a single man when adm. of the h. 12 Sept. 1640, ar. co. 1641, went home, I suppose, bef. tak. w. for in the rec. of the ch. 26 Sept. 1647 is his dism. "on desire of the ch. of Pulham Mary in Norfolk, Eng." and in May 1677 was of Harlestone in that Co. Thence he had writ. to capt. Lake, 5 Apr. 1653, to inq. if the report of the d. of his former teacher, John Cotton, was true. WESTLEY, WILLIAM, Hartford 1638, an orig. sett. tho. not orig. purchas. was excus. from watch, in 1646, perhaps on acco. of age. No fam. is heard of, but he left a wid. wh. was assist. by the ch. at Hadley, bec. she had been of their party, bef. they rem. from Hartford. WESTMORELAND, JAMES, Boston 1652, says Farmer, but no more is kn. WESTON, EDMUND, Duxbury, came in the Elizabeth and Ann from London to Boston, 1635, aged 30; m. a d. of John Soule of the same, as Winsor suppos. and had, perhaps, Elnathan, Samuel, and John. The informat. is little. EDWARD, in Philip's war, was a corpo. in [[490]] Mosley's comp. Dec. 1675. * FRANCIS, Salem, freem. 5 Nov. 1633, a friend of Roger Williams; but whether he came with him, or when, or whence he came, is unkn. nor have we the date of this join. the ch. He was rep. at the first Gen. Ct. that was attend. by dep. but was unfortunate in his w. wh. was punish. by the bilboes, tho. her offence was, as Felt presum. Eccles. Ann. I. 341, "of a religious character," and he fell into the impractica. notions as to the duty of separat. of chhs. and went to Providence with Williams, there was one of the founders of his ch. but in few yrs. disagreed with him, and symboliz. with Gorton, Wicks, Holden, and others, rem. with them to ld. a little down the Bay, purchas. from the Ind. now Warwick, was denounc. by the authority of Mass. seiz. and brot. prison. to Boston, by Ct. sentenc. Nov. 1643, as in Rec. II. 52, to be kept at labor in Dorchester, with suffic. irons to prevent escape; and liberat. at last, thro. fear of his influence over his keeper's relig. sentiments, wh. under threat of death he was prohibit. from attempt. to pervert, d. bef. June 1645, leav. no issue. FRANCIS, Plymouth, stands in the tax list for Jan. 1633, but not in that of next yr. nor is more told of him in any place within my knowledge, unless he be the same, as was call. at Duxbury, Francis West. JOHN, Salem, join. the ch. 1648, being then 17 yrs. old, if the fam. tradit. be correct, wh. seems very prob. that he came in 1644, aged 13, from Buckinghamsh. Still we must be careful to doubt in proper places, for the same valua. testim. notes on his gr.-st. "that he was one of the found. of the ch. in Reading." Now we kn. the falsity of this, for he could be only 14 yrs. old on that event. He had rem. to Reading, prob. bef. m. and his early ch. were carr. to Salem for bapt. they were Sarah, b. 15 July 1656, bapt. 10 May 1657; Mary, 25 May 1659, perhaps d. very soon, certain its bapt. is not found at Salem first ch.; John, 9 Mar. bapt. 29 Aug. 1661; and Elizabeth bapt. Oct. 1663; Stephen, b. a. 1665; and perhaps Samuel, and Thomas, as Eaton in Geneal, Reg. II. 48, indicates. In 1691 he was adm. freem. and d. 1723. MATTHEW, Providence 1644, may be the same man call. Matthew West. STEPHEN, Reading, s. of John, had Stephen, and d. 1753 aged 88. See Geneal. Reg. I. 278. THOMAS, a London merch. had engag. in plant. a col. in 1622 at Weymouth, but his sett. were very incompet. persons, much disqualif. by former habits of life and charact. the next yr. on visit to the country, he was dishearten. and gave up his hopes, went home, and in the gr. civ. war, d. at Bristol. Of this name Farmer notes fifteen gr. in N. E. coll. up to 1834, of wh. I find only four at Harv. and one at Yale. Oft. it is writ. as the sound was Wesson. WESTOVER, JONAS, Windsor, 1649, rem. to Killingworth, freem. 1658, is found in the list 1669. By w. Hannah, m. 1663, had Margaret, [[491]] b. 19 Feb. 1666; Hannah, 8 Apr. 1668; Elizabeth 3 May 1670; Jane, 26 Mar. 1672; and these are all appear. on the rec. but others he had, as by his will, in 1702, two other ds. and two s. are nam. Jonas, Jonathan, Mary, and Joanna. Perhaps one or more were not b. at K. but at Simsbury, where he d. Jan. 1709.

M. 1626, is by Frothingham, 85, claim. for resid. at Charlestown 1636, to wh. I have nothing to object, but that this name is not found in Budington's list of ch. memb. Farmer had provid. him a resid. in Cambridge also; but this, I presume, to be the same as Charlestown. He seems to have preach. at Duxbury, but bec. min. of the sec. ch. at S. in 1645, and had sev. ch. b. in this country, as prob. John; Theophilus; Elizabeth; Sarah; and Hannah, 20 Feb. 1647; but the last, it is thot. d. young; and he d. 9 Apr. 1684, aged perhaps 84.

Mary, and ch. William, George, James, and Elizabeth NICHOLAS, Dorchester, a soldier in Johnson's comp. in Philip's war, Dec. 1675. ROBERT, Kittery, came from Dartmouth, Co. Devon, as early, says Farmer, as 1652. One Titus W. from Virg. was found d. at Plymouth 1656. WILLIAM, N. H. br. of Robert, says Farmer, MS. d. 1654. WILLIAM, Dover, perhaps s. of James, had Reuben, b. 14 June 1686; William, 10 Sept. 1689; Robert, 15 Feb. 1692; Joshua, 11 June 1695; Tabitha, 14 Oct. 1698; and Samuel, 13 Oct. 1701. WHALE, PHILEMON, Sudbury 1646, freem. 10 May 1648, m. 7 Nov. 1649, Sarah Cakebread, d. of Thomas, wh. d. 28 Dec. 1656; and he m. 9 Nov. foll. Elizabeth Griffin, perhaps d. of Hugh; but whether he had issue by either w. is unkn. and he d. 21 Feb. 1676. SAMUEL, Kingston, R. I. only s. of Theophilus of the same, had two ws. first a Hopkins, next, a Harrington, as Potter reports; and that his ch. were seven, Thomas, Samuel, Theophilus, James, or Jeremy, John, and two ds. and that he d. a. 1782. THEOPHILUS, Kingstown, R. I. came from Virg. with w. Elizabeth a. 1676, had Joan, Ann, Theodosia, Elizabeth Martha, Lydia, and Samuel; but it thot. that if not more, the eldest two were b. in Virg. Great uncertainty attaches to almost every thing he said or did, as is found oft. in regard to those wh. emig. from a dist. country, and liv. to gr. age. Potter says he knew Hebrew, Greek, &c. and d. a. 1719 or 20, aged a. 104. It would have been strange, if more than one myth had not sprung out of his grave. My first exercise of caution would be to examine the means of reducing his yrs. by 20 or near, for his only s. it is said, d. a. 1728, and it is quite improb. that when he was b. the f. was much beyond 70. Beside that his w. d. 8 or 10 yrs. bef. her h. Dr. Stiles in the exuberance of conject. that the requisite to sustain his credulity, supposes he may have been one of the regicides. But we kn. the names of all wh. acted in that tragedy, as well as of those wh. were nominat. and declin. to act. or withdrew, as did sev. aft. participat. some hours in the mockery of trial, bef. its end, among all of wh. is not that of Theophilus Whale. One of those misguid. men would have resort. to any other part of the world. sooner than to Virg. WHALEY, GEORGE, Cambridge, by w. Catharine, had George, b. 19 Apr. 1653. WALLEY, EDWARD, Hadley, one of the gr. officers wh. had fought in the civil war, and serv. Cromwell more aft. it, first in the pretended [[494]] Court for trial of Charles I. and next as one of the major-gen. to wh. the country in milit. destricts. twelve innumb. like the tribes of Israel, was made subject, as if martial law could forever be contin. Of that power, aft. short trial, tho. he was a relative of the great Protector, Cromwell's iron will was compel. to strip him, so odious had the tyranny grown. He fled from Eng. on the restorat. and with his s.-in-law, William Goffe, reach. Boston July 1660. In the foll. spring they resort. to New Haven, and thro. various suffer. found hiding at last in the shelter of Rev. John Russel's ho. at H. where d. in few yrs. and there was bur. The stone wh. was fondly suppos. from the initial letters E. W. to have been errected over his remains at New Haven, belong. no doubt, to the resting-place of Edward Wigglesworth, and bore date 1653, wh. was clumsi. attempt. to be alter. to 1673, or 8, as this might have been the yr. of WhalleyÕs death.

He was liv. 1734. WHARTON, EDWARD, Salem 1655, call. a glazier, began to suffer 1658 as a Quaker, and in 1661 assist. in bur. the corpse of William Leddra, one of their martyrs, execut. at Boston, 14 Mar. as he had been whip. a year and a half bef. for his expression a. the hanging of the youths, Robinson and Stephenson, and in an intermed. time, a. 1660 whip. for pilot. some from Lynn to Salem. Similar treatm. for some yrs. later fail to enlighten him, yet he did not rem. from S. there d. 3 Mar. 1678. PHILIP, Boston 1656, by w. Mary had Rebecca, b. 5 May 1660, was displeas. with his w. for wh. he found no redress, and went away eight yrs. later, yet by order of Ct. his w. should have food and clothing. See Rec. IV. pt.

MOSES, Concord, br. of the first Joshua, came with him, says Shattuck, 1636, but prob. not in the same sh. as none such is found in the custom-ho. docket, where Joshua had place, and eno. may be thot. to justify a suppos. that they were found together at C. in its sec. yrs.

His will made eight days bef. his d. provides for w. Joan, s. John, and his ds. Nathaniel and his d. Esther, wh. phrase may mean no more than w. of N. and s. Ephraim, Thomas, and Joseph. No d. could be nam. and the s. Samuel and Obadiah d. in early manhood. He ment. also, William, Thomas,and Sarah, childr. of his br. William of Stratford. THOMAS, Lynn or Salem, may have been the passeng. in the James, embark Apr. 1635, call. serv. of Austin Clement; or any other of the well-diffus. name. Perhaps he had s. Isaac. THOMAS, New Haven 1644, took o. of fidel. 1 July, was accomp. by s. of the same name, but one or both were not so well educat. as most of the sett. for the signature is found with a mark only; yet no ment. of w. or ch. appears on rec. wherein we read that "old Thomas Wheeler' d. 22 Jan. 1673.

Thomas may not have accomp. the f. At least from his will, pro. 23 Aug. 1654, wh. we read imperfect. as part of the rec. in this place is burn. it is clear that the est. in Concord, old homestead, was giv. to Thomas; Fairfield est. to John; with notice of wid. and three ds. of wh. Hannah, the eldest, m. a 1639, James Bennett, had two ch. at Concord, and was now d. leav. four; ano. was Sarah Sherwood; and a third not m. without name. His wid. in her will of 21 Aug. 1659, pro.

THOMAS, Concord, m. 10 Oct. 1657, Hannah Harrod, had Hannah, b. 25 Oct. 1658, d. within 10 mos.; Thomas, 1 Jan. 1660; had John, 2 Sept. 1661; perhaps others; was tythingman 1680, and freem. 1690. THOMAS, Milford, s. of Thomas of the same, was propound. for freem. 1671, and liv. there aft. 1687; but no details of his fam. are acquir. Of his cousin, THOMAS, Milford, s. of William of Stratford, the same deficience is felt. * TIMOTHY, Concord, freem. 13 May 1640, ens. in 1646, was a capt. late in his days, bu more oft. call. lieut. on rec. rep. 1663, and very oft. aft. d. 10 July 1687, aged a. 86, as the gr.-st. tells; had Sarah, b. 22 June 1640; had his w.

TIMOTHY, Concord, the freem. of 1690, had, I suppose, f. of the same town, but my inabil. to point him out among the scores of Concord Wheelers may be excus. WILLIAM, Stratford, br. and I think, younger, of Thomas sen. of Milford, prob. rem. from Concord with him, had w. Sarah, ch. William, Thomas, and Sarah; rem. to New Jersey, soon fell ill and the w. and ch. came back aft. his d. in 1666. His inv. was tak. in Nov.

Of gr. of this name in 1834, Farmer notes none at Harv. two at Yale, and eight at other N. E. coll. WHEELWRIGHT, JOHN, Braintree, bred at Sydney Coll. Cambr. where he had his degr. 1614 and 18, was min. at Belleau, near Alford in Co. Lincoln, whence with his w. Mary, sis. prob. of William Hutchinson, and of his ch. certain. Thomas, Catharine, and prob. Samuel, perhaps all exc. John, he came to Boston in the same ship with Rev. Samuel, Whiting, arr. at Boston, 26 May 1636, and on 12 June foll. he, his w. and the wid. Susanna Hutchinson, her mo. as I judge, unit. with Boston ch. and on 25 June 1637, his d. Mary was bapt. But the long troubles of the antinom. controv. had begun, and being banish. with his [[503]] princip. friends and adherents in 1638, he rem. to Exeter, of wh. he is justly call. the founder, being the first signer of the civil combinat. on Friday, 4 Oct. 1639; there prob. had Rebecca and Hannah, and at his next home, prob. Elizabeth and Sarah. When the N. H. planta. came under rule of Mass. in 1642, he rem. to Wells, but aft. reconcil. with Winthrop and the rest of the governm. went 1647 to be collea. in the serv. of the ch. with Dalton at Hampton, in 1657 was in Eng. and had favor with Oliver Cromwell, wh. had been intimate with him at the Univ. but he came back soon aft. the restorat. and was sett. min. 9 Dec. 1662, at Salisbury, there d. 15 Nov. 1679, aged above 80 yrs. Of his s. John it may be presum. that he was oldest ch. and never came to our side of the Atlantic, but was a scholar, perhaps a preach. in Eng. wh. publish. at London, a vindicat. of his f. in Nov. 1645, against the bitter aspersions of Thomas Welde, and very likely may have thot. it useful to display equal sprit. I can have no doubt that he was d. bef. the will of his f. His will of 25 May preced. pro. 26 Nov. foll. names s. Samuel, but not Thomas, wh. prob. was d. s.-in-law, Edward Rishworth, and gr. ch. Edward Lyde, wh. was to pay something to his mo. Mary, then w. of the first Theodore Atkinson, Mary White, d. of Edward Rishworth, Mary Maverick, and William, Thomas, and Jacob Bradbury. In Lincolnsh. and in Maine he had est. to bestow in beq. to heirs, but he thot. very little of any in N. H. Several of these seem here not to be represent. but prob. they had been provid. for at earlier days, or were d. without heirs. We must look for fuller aco. to the will (made twelve yrs. bef.) of his bach. br. Samuel Hutchinson. Of the six ds. with considerable confidence, I assign. hs. to all: Sarah, the youngest, m. 1671, as his sec. w. Richard Crispe (to her, for her portion, the f. call. hims. late of Belleau, Co. Linc. gave, 22 Oct. 1677, his messuage, with appurtenanc. at Mawthorpe in the parish of Willoughby, Co. Line. to be enj. aft. d. of donor); Elizabeth m.

Mar. 1672, William Bradbury; Mary m. 4 Dec. 1660, Edward Lyde, and next, Oct. 1667, Theodore Atkinson; Hannah m. Anthony Checkley; and Catharine m. Robert Nanny, and next, Edward Naylor. * JOHN, Wells, s. of Samuel, prob. or of Thomas, perhaps; was a col. and one of the reps. 1692, bef. and aft. the new chart. a gent. of character above suspicion, wh. to McGregor and his noble assoc. the pure blood of Londonerry or Scotch Irish presbyterians, gave quitclaim deed, 20 Oct. 1719, at Boston, of the ld. "NOT TO EXCEED TEN MILES SQUARE," call. Nutfield. That sale he deriv. authty. for, as he said, in the deed of Ind. sachems to his gr.f. 17 May 1629, wh. most elaborately spurious, purported to convey many thousand sq. miles, and has been satisfactor. shown [[504]] to be a forgery, used, to be sure, above a dozen yrs. bef. the Norfield deed, and prob. unsuspect. by him, and never seen by his f. as we may confident. believe it never was by the gr.f. wh. had honest title only to five or six hundred thousand acres under Ind. deed of a portion of the same region, made near nine yrs. later. He d. 1745. * SAMUEL, Wells, s. of the first John, m.

Danford, and d. 1700. THOMAS, York, s perhaps eldest, of the first John, made freem. of Mass. with prefix of respect, Nov. 1652, and Col. Rec. III. 333, shows he then dwelt at Wells, a selectman 1653, and commissn. the same or the next yr. prob. d. bef. his f. Among gr. at Harv. Coll. are nine of this name.

WHELYER, JOHN, a passeng. from Southampton 1634, in the Mary and John, if we follow the copy of the copy of custom-ho. paper, but in my opin. it meant John Whittier, or more prob. Wheeler.

WHETNELL, JEREMY, New Haven 1639, never heard of since, I think, but see Whitnell. WHETSTONE, INCREASE, k. by the Ind. 14 Mar. 1676, at Northampton, was a soldier, I suppose, but am unable to conject. from what town, [[505]] unless Barnstable where Mercy W. was m. 30 June 1698 to Joseph Parker. JOHN, a passeng. emb. 7 Mar. 1632, at London, prob. in the William and Francis with Edward Winslow, but perhaps the real name was Whiston, wh. see, and compare 4 Mass. Histo. Coll. I. 92, also Geneal. Reg. XIV. 300. WHICHALLS, EMANUEL, is the strange name of one, wh. it is said, took o. of fidel. at Pemaquid 1674. WHIDDEN, RICHARD, Fairfield, had d. bef. 3 Nov. 1690, when his inv. was brot. n by his w. Sarah, by wh. we find he own, part of a sloop, was a mariner, had ds. Elizabeth and Sarah. SAMUEL, N.

Rec. II 283, but as Eaton does not name him, I judge he rem. soon. HENRY Guilford, came to New Haven in July 1639, with Col. George Fenwick and his lady, and a ch. of famous John Davenport, who, in a letter of 27 Sept. aft. to lady Mary Vere, tells of the ship, that she was the first "that ever cast anchor in" that place. See Geneal. Reg. IX. 149 No Doubt he was bred up for the pulpit, but of his place of educ. wh. are ign. The common acco. of him is, that he was s. of a lawyer, b. a. 1597, sett. as min. at Ockham, a. 20 ms. from London, in Co. Surry, but others day Ockley or Okely in that sh. a. three ms. from the metrop. was one of the founders of the ch. at G. yet the establishm. of the ch. seems to be postpon. to 1643, prob. from the slow growth of the town. He had propty. eno. and disregard. the fulminat. of Bp. Laud for no read. the royal proclaim. for sports on Sunday, resign. his place without dispute, after serv. at the altar near twenty years in his native ld. Later in the autumn of 1650, he went home, publish. the two foll. yrs. relattions of the spread of the gospel among our aborig. and d. in the city of Winchester, it is said, in the office of min. tho. of this I much doubt, if my construct. of the lang. of letters from his s.-in-law and neph. both nam. John Higginson, as to his long life, be correct. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. 200, 1 and 4. Commonly it is said he had ten ch. but I kn. only of Abigail, the first w. of Rev.

WHITHAM, HENRY, Gloucester m. m. 15 June 1665, Sarah, d. of Morris Somes, had Thomas, b. 29 Sept. 1666; Henry, 27 Oct. 1668; John, 19 [[518]] Feb. 1671, d. soon; Samuel, 26 Jan. 1673; and Joseph, 21 Dec. 1676. I have foll. the spelling of Mr. Felt, but may easily believe the name was Witham. WHITING, GILES, Hartford, or the town above, or the town below, excus. from train. 1643, paying 1s. every train. day for support of drums and colors; but I kn. not that any thing beyond Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 99, can be seen of him, exc. that he was a propr. of Norwalk 1654. JOHN, Salem, s. of William of Hartford, b. prob. in Eng. tho. Goodwin, 330, makes the date 1635, of wh.

S. a controv. soon sprang up betw. him and W. a bapt. of infants, of wh. the import may, I suppose, be gather. from a letter of famous John Davenport, June 1666, to Gov. John Winthrop, in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 60-2; and Trumbull, Col. Rec. II. 120. The result is more intelligib. a new ch. was gather. and 1670, W. was made pastor, and serv. until his d. 8 Sept. 1689. He had m. at Cambridge, a. 1654, Sybil, d. of deac. Edward Collins of the same, had Sybil, b. 1655, prob. at C.; John, 1657, prob. at C. d. young; both bapt. at C.; William, 1659, bapt. at C. says Mitchell's Reg. 19 Feb, 1660; Martha, 1662; Sarah, 1664; Abigail, 1666; and Samuel, 22 Apr. 1670. In 1673 he m. sec. w. Phebe, d. of Thomas Gregson of New Haven, and had Thomas, b. 1674, d. soon; Mary, 1676, d. at 13 yrs.; Elizabeth 1678; Joseph, 1680; Nathaniel, 1683, d. young; Thomas, again, 1686, d. young; and John, again, 1688, who was a merch. at Hartford, and d. unm. at 27 yrs. He had been appoint. chaplain, Aug. 1675, for the troops in Philip's war, and d. not as Trumbull says, in 1700, but as bef. said. his wid. m. 1692, Rev. John Russell of Hadley, but aft. his d. went to her s. Joseph, at New Haven; and d. 19 Sept. 1730. Sybil m. Alexander Bryan; Martha m. 25 Dec. 1683, Samuel Bryan; both of Milford; Sarah m. 19 Mar. 1685, Jonathan Bull of Hartford; and Abigail m. Rev. Samuel Russell of Deerfield, aft. of Branford. JOHN, Lynn, s. of Rev. Samuel of the same, may have gone, soon after his gr. at Harv. to Eng. and "was intend. for a Physician, but bec. a preach." says Mather, "first at Butterwick, then at Leverton in Lincolnsh. where he d. a godly conformist." Magn. III. [[519]] cap. 28. It seems from Thompson's Hist. of Boston, 349, if Farmer, in MS. be correct, that he was bur. 11 Oct. 1689, so that the Coll. catal. wh. notes his d. 1723, is strangely at fault. JOHN, Lancaster, s. of Rev. Samuel of Billerica, ord. 3 Dec. 1691, there was k. by the Ind. 11 Sept. 1697, leav. wid. Alice, d. of Joseph Cook of Cambridge, whose two ch.

He was made cornet of Hampsh. troops 1672, freem. of Mass. 1671, being then of Westfield pulpit, as Farmer in MS. thought, mistak. him. for the preced. but he was a merch. went back to Harford, m. Ann, d. of Col. John Allyn, had Ann, 28 Aug. 1677, d. at 6 yrs.; John, 13 Nov. 1679, d. young; Susanna, 18 June 1682; William, 14 Mar. 1685, d. at 17 yrs.; Ann, again, 18 Aug. 1687; Margaret, 5 Jan. 1691; and John, again, 15 Dec. 1693. He was treasr. of the Col. Goodwin says, from 1678 till his d. 39 yrs. and was succeed. 32 yrs. by his s. John. Farmer makes him to be chos. an Assist. 1683, but I doubt. His wid. d. 3 Mar. 1735. * JOSEPH. New Haven, s. of Rev. John of Hartford, m. 30 Jan. 1710, Hannah, d. of Thomas Trowbridge the sec. of the same, had Hannah, b. 21 Feb. 1712; Mary, 5 Feb. 1714; Elizabeth 8 June 1717; Phebe, 23 Oct. 1720; John, 1 Mar. 1722; Sarah, 15 Apr. 1725; Joseph, 28 Jan. 1727; and Elisha, 29 July 1729; chos. rep. 1716, and sev. yrs. later, and assist. 1725-46; and d. 4 Apr. 1748, as did his wid. 9 Aug. foll. NATHANIEL, Dedham, had a gr. of ld. in Lynn, 1638, but was of D. 1641, freem, 18 May 1642, m. 4 Mar. 1643, Hannah, eldest d. of John Dwight of the same, had Nathaniel, b. 7 bapt. 29 Sept. 1644; John, 29 Sept. bapt. 11 Oct. 1646, prob. d. soon; ano. John, next yr. d. soon; ano. s. 30 Dec. 1649, whose name eludes [[520]] me. tho. Goodwin calls him Samuel, b. 20 Nov.; Hannah, 17, bapt. 22 Feb. 1652; Timothy, b. 5 Jan. 1653; Mary, 8 July 1656, d. soon; Mary, again, 12, bapt. 24 Oct. 1658; Sarah, 3 Dec. 1660; Abigail, 7 June 1663; John, again, 19, bapt. 23 July 1665; and Jonathan, 9, bapt. 20 Oct. 1667, and perhaps more. Goodwin adds Judah, b. 20 Mar. 1670; and Ann, 25 Feb. 1672. I suppose he liv. in that part wh. bec. Medfield. NATHANIEL, Medfield, s. of the preced. was freem. 1672, driv. by Ind. hostil. to Roxbury, by w. Hannah had Jonathan, b. 9 Oct. 1677; and prob. had other ch. at M. for the name spread much in that vicinage. OLIVER, Billerica, s. of Rev. Samuel of the same, m. 22 Jan. 1690, Ann. d. of capt. Jonathan Danforth of the same, had nine ch. of wh. only Samuel, b. 6 Sept. 1702, f. of a respecta. line, is kn. to me; d. 22 Dec. 1736. SAMUEL, Lynn, b. at Boston, Co. Line. 20 Nov. 1597, s. of John Whiting, the mayor of the borough, was matric. 1613 at Emanuel, the Puritan Coll. of the Univ. of Cambridge, as it was then stigmatiz. had his degrees 1616, and 1620, preach. as chaplain three yrs. in private fams. if Mather be correct, after his master's degr. and then went to Lynn Regis, Co. Norfolk, spent ano. three yrs. as collea. or curate of the rector, and being disturb. by his diocesan, rem. to Skirbeck, close to his native place. Aft. bur. his first w. by wh. he had two s. wh. d. in Eng. and one d. brot. to our country, Mather says he m. a d. of Oliver St. John, a Bedforsh. man. of fam. nearly relat. to the Lord St. John of Bletso, wh. may all be true, but the writer confuses the time very cruelly, when he should tell the date of her m. or d. by saying she "stayed with her worthy consort forty-seven yrs. went in the seventy-third yr. of his age unto him to whom her soul had been," &c. Taking the pains to extract meaning out of this gabble, by common arithmetic, we find reason to see that Mather need not be believed literally; as thus, W. was in his 73d yr. in 1669, and the union having existed 47 yrs. of course it began in 1622, wh. is rather rearly for him who had obt. his master's degree in 1620, m. one w. had three ch. and lost her. I have learn. to distrust the author of the Magnalia in all cases where he employs roundabout instead of direct phraseology, and even in this is sometimes careless. He came in the same ship with Wheelwright, who had been his neighbor in Co. Line. arr. 26 May 1636, and sett. 8 Nov. next in the ch. of Lynn, freem. 7 Dec. foll. tho. the prefix of respect is not found with his name. With him came w. s. Samuel, b. at Shirbeck, 25 Mar. 1633, H. C. 1653, but not entit. to his A. M. until 1656, and two ds. of wh. one was Dorothy, b.; by the first w. who m. 4 June 1650, Thomas Weld fo Roxbury; and the other, Elizabeth by sec. w. m. Rev. Jeremiah Hobart. At L. he prob. had John, H. C. 1657, bef. ment. and certain. Joseph, b. 1641, H. C. 1661, bef. ment. ano. s. and ano. d. [[521]] if Mather may be trust. whose names are not giv. His w. d. 3 Mar. 1677. The letter of 1 Oct. 1677 to Rev. Increase Mather, wh. he calls cousin, in Geneal. Reg. II. 198, is valua. and the s. and d. with him to wh. reference is made, where Samuel, jr. and prob. his w. But why Increase M. was call. his cousin or neph. is uncert. unless from his m. with d. of famous John Cotton, to wh. the Magn. asserts "some affinity" of W. He d. not 11 Nov. as Lynn Rec. in Geneal.

Thomas, aged 12 yrs. and others of the ch. came in 1641, may deserve a partial credence beyond what such evidence gains usually from the judicious. Prob. conject. is that, beside Abijah and Zechariah, and Hannah, Judith, also, and Elizabeth were b. on this side of the water; but the order, in wh. names of ch. occur in a will, is not always sufficient guide to determine relative ages.

The act was not a case of private hatred, but seems to have been the deed of the whole tribe, [[527]] and the Col. of Conn. was moved to unite with that of N. H. in a just revenge. See Trumbull, Col.

He d. 1 Feb. 1690, and his wid. d. 6 Dec. 1725. THOMAS, Cambridge, s. of Francis of the same, perhaps was some time of Lexington, by w.

Aft. liv. many yrs. at Billerica, he rem. to Killingly, and d. 23 Jan. 1751. WHITNELL, JEREMIAH, New Haven 1639, is found in the list of freem. 1669, print. in Trumbull, II. 524, but there is giv. Whitwell, as prob. in the constable's or selectmen's certific. He m. Elizabeth wid. of Thomas Mitchell, after 1662, had no ch. and d. Mar. 1682. His will of 10 Mar. in that yr. gives all his prop. to wid. for life, and after to Philip Alcock, and his w. Elizabeth d. of the wid. WHITNEY, BENJAMIN, Watertown, youngest s. of John the first of the same, sat down first at York (but was, I think, tax. at Dover 1667 and 8), there got w. Jane, there went to sw. alleg. 1680, but at W. had Jane, b. 29 Sept. 1669; rem. prob. next yr. to Shirborn, there had Joshua, 21 Sept. 1687, but perhaps others bef. His w. d. at S. 14 Nov. 1690; and he took ano. as is thot. 11 Apr. 1695, Mary Poor, but Barry thinks her name Esther, and he is said to have liv. to 1723. By that sec. w. he had Benjamin, 22 May 1709. BENJAMIN, Watertown, youngest s. of John the sec. of the same, m. 30 Mar. 1687, Abigail, d. of William Hager, had Abigail, b. 3 May 1688; Ruth, 1689; Benjamin, both bapt. 10 July 1698; John, b. 15 June 1694; David, 16 June 1697; and Daniel, 17 July 1700. Harry, Hist. of Framingham, 436, gives him sec. w. Elizabeth says, his will was pro. 1736, and that he left Benjamin, Samuel, Joseph, and Elizabeth Yet the last name may be of w. not of ch. BENJAMIN, Shirborn, youngest s. of Jonathan of the same, m. 24 Oct. 1700, Mercy Trayis, had prob. no ch. and d. 1718, his will is pro. 25 Sept. of that yr. ELEAZER, Sudbury, s. of Thomas of Watertown, [[529]] m. 11 Apr. 1687, Dorothy, d. of James Ross of S. had Sarah, b. 1688, at S. rem. soon to W. and there had James, wh. d. young Thomas; James, again; Mary; these three bapt. 28 Jan. 1700; but sec. James d. young; Dorothy, bapt. 16 June 1700; Eleazer, 5 Apr. 1702; Elnathan, 6 May 1705; James, again, 6 June 1708; and Jonas perhaps older than the latter nam. but some of these dates of bapt. do not concur with those in Bond, wh. perhaps had mark. the day of b. at that of bapt. His w. d. 22 June 1731. His will, prob. 1735, nam. two other s. Isaac and Timothy, as Dr. Bond many yrs. since wrote to me, but as in his Geneal. they are omit. I fear he had early mistak. their parentage. HENRY, Norwalk 1665, had the yr. bef. at Jamaica, L. I. favor. the jurisdict. of Conn. propound. for freem. 1667, and is found in the list of 1669, project. 1672 the settlem. of a new town, but made his will the same yr. and d. the next, giv. est. to his w. and only ch.

Sarah, wh. may have been d. of George Woodward, but could never have been wid. of that John Eddy, ment. by Bond, had John, Isaiah, John again, Nathaniel, Sarah, Elijah, and Jonas; but Barry furnish. no dates for any of them. He d. Jan. 1712, at least, his inv. is of 10 of that mo. and his wid. in 1715, says Bond, was of Lexington. JEREMIAH, Plymouth 1643. JOHN, Watertown, came from London 1635, aged 35, in the Elizabeth and Ann, with w. Elinor, 30, and five s. John, 11; Richard 9; Nathaniel, 8; Thomas, 6; and Jonathan, 1; but a slight reason may be seen for think. one of these ages too low; as in the rec. of W. the f. is call. at his d. 1 June 1673, 84 yrs. old; and Richard was releas. from train. in 1691, "being 70 yrs. of age," when he could only be 65, if the custom-ho. rep. be accept. was a man of propty. and relig. charact. adm. freem. 3 Mar. 1636, was by the Gen. Ct. made constable 1641, a selectman sev. times betw. 1638 and 55, and in 1665 he was town clk. had b. at W. Joshua, 5, but the Register's vol. for W.

His w. d. 11 May 1659, and he m. 29 Sept. foll. Judith Clement, wh. prob. d. bef. hemade his will, 3 Apr. 1673; nam. all the s. exc. Nataniel and Caleb, and d. 1 June foll.

I. had John, b. 12 Mar. 1677; Joseph, 1 Mar. 1679; Henry, 21 Feb. 1681; and Richard, 18 Apr. 1687; but no more is kn. of him, exc. that he was a miller, had good propty. and his ch. perpet. the name in that region.

Lydia m. 15 Apr. 1681, Moses Adams; Ann m. as Barry thinks, Cornelius Fisher; and the other ds. may not have m. JONATHAN, Watertown, s. of the preced. m. Sarah, wh. was, Barry judges, d. of Shadrach Hapgood, had Sarah, b. 2 Mar. 1693; Jonathan, 27 Sept. 1694, d. young; Tabitha, 22 Aug. 1696; Shadrach, 12 Oct. 1698; Jonathan, again, 25 Nov. 1700; Ann, 22 May 1702; Amos, 1 May 1705; rem. to Sudbury, and had Zaccheus, 16 Nov. 1707; rem. again, prob. to Concord, there had Timothy, 20 Feb. 1709; and perhaps Daniel; in his will, made 14, pro. 18 Mar. 1735, nam. other ch.

JOSHUA, Groton, s of the first John, by w. Lydia had Joshua, b. 14 June 1666; and Sarah, 10 Oct. 1668; by w. Mary had no ch. and she d. 17 Mar. 1672; and he m. at Watertown, 30 Sept. foll. Abigail, prob. d. of Thomas Tarbell, had Mary, 1 July 1675, at Groton; thence driv. by the Ind. war, had at W. William, 28 Feb. 1678; and for the other ch. we must rely upon his will of 17 Apr. 1713, in wh. he calls them Cornelis, David, Martha, Elizabeth and d. Hutchins, by Bond thot. to be Abigail, w.; of John H. and d. Woods, wh. he thot. was Alice, w. of Nathaniel W. but the last is uncert. JOSIAH, Wrentham, s. of the first Jonathan, by w. Abigail, who serv. him, had Josiah, b. a. 1698; Jonathan, a. 1703; and Abigail, 1709; and he prob. d. Jan. 1718, at least his inv. is of 15th of that mo. MOSES,Sudbury, s. of the first Richard, m. 30 Sept. 1686, Sarah Knight; but Bond was able to tell no more; and Barry is equal. silent. From investigat. of T. B. Wyman, jr. it is kn. that he had Sarah, b. 2 July 1687; Moses, a. 1690; Abraham, 29 May 1692; Jonas; Jason, a. 1704; perhaps John; and certain. Lemuel, 1 Aug. 1714. His first ch. was b. in Stow.

Mercy should be add. He rem. to Weston, there d. 7 Jan. 1733, "aged a. 90 yrs." says the extravag. rec. and his wid. d. 7 May 1746, "aged a. 88 yrs.' thus robbing her of more than it had bestowed on him, as if the days of b. of ea. were not well kn. RICHARD, Watertown, sec. s. of the first John, brot. by his f. at nine yrs. old from Eng. m. 19 Mar. 1651, not, as Barry says, Mary (foll. the Co. rec.), but Martha Coldham, d. of the first Thomas of Lynn, had Sarah, b. 17 Mar. 1653; Moses, 1 Aug. 1655; Joanna, 16 Jan. 1657; Deborah, 12 Oct. 1658; Rebecca, 15 Dec. 1659, d. in two mos.; Richard, 13 Jan. 1661; Elisha, 26 Aug. 1662; and Ebenezer, 30 June 1672, was freem. 1651, rem. to that pt. of Concord call.

Elizabeth d. 24 Nov. 1723. He made his will a few days aft. and d. 5 Dec. next, and Barry says the will was [[532]] pro. 23 of the same mo. The two first nam. s. were excors. SAMUEL, Watertown, s. of the sec. John, m. 16 Feb. 1684, Mary, d. of Joseph Bemis, had Mary, b. 30 Sept. 1689; but Bond tells no more, tho. by his putt. Arabic num. 1 bef. the name of the ch. we might expect addit. STEPHEN, one of the first sett. of Huntington, L. I. THOMAS, Plymouth, had w. Winifred, wh. d. 23 July 1660, but from Col. Rec. I learn no more. THOMAS, Watertown, fourth s. of John the first of the same, brot. from Eng. at six yrs. of age, m. 11 Jan. 1655, Mary, whose surname may never be satisfactorily shown, any more than that of the w. of Theophilus Phillips, wh. in my opin. was her sis. but in opin. of a judic. reader of old rec. seems Kedell, in one place, or Keedell in ano. had Thomas, b. 24 Aug. 1656; John, 19 May 1659, d. same day; John, again, 22 Aug. 1660, d. soon; Elnathan, and Eleazer, 7 Apr. 1662; Mary, 22 Dec. 1663, d. young; Bezaleel, 16 Sept. 1665; Sarah, 23 Mar. 1667, wh. is said to have m. Charles Chadwick; Mary, 6 Aug. 1668; Isaiah, 16 Sept. 1671; and Martha, 30 Jan. 1674. Date of his d. was 20 Sept. 1719, but Bond calls him his freem. of 1690, wh. title may be well, I think, fall to THOMAS, Watertown, s. of the preced. m. 29 Jan. 1679, but Bond says, 18 Oct. 1681, Elizabeth d. of George Lawrence of the same, rem. to Stow and had Thomas, b. 17 Sept. 1681; Elizabeth 16 Feb. 1683; John, 13 May 1684; Mary, 13 Jan. 1686; Benjamin, 7 Oct. 1687; Nathan; Susanna; and Abigail; and he was liv.

His wid. d. 19 Sept. 1729, aged 76. THOMAS, came in the Elizabeth and Ann from London, 1635, aged 36, Audry, 45, perhaps his w. and Jeremy, 8; but where he sat down is not heard.

His wid. m. 23 Mar. 1711, Nathan Farrow. The sound of this name having its first syl. short or long, at the whim of some of the descend. who prefer. the long, easily slid into Whiting in the fourth or fifth generat. as they spread into various towns. WHITRED, WHITTEREDD. WHITTRIDGE, or WHITRIG, JOHN, Salem 1668, is prob. the same who was k. under capt. Turner, by the Ind. at the Falls fight, 19 May 1676, and perhaps left posterity.

Florence, of whose d. 1672, a most doleful report may be seen in the diary of Rev. William Adams, pr. in 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 17. He had a s. 13 yrs. old at that time. By sec. w. Charity, he had Rebecca, b. 27 May 1689, wh. m. 11 Jan. 1711, the sec. William Cleaves of Beverly. WILLIAM, Ipswich 1637, perhaps br. of Nathaniel, had come in the Elizabeth 1635, aged 36, with w.

His w. d. 11 May 1683, but the date of his own d. is unkn. and he had bef. 1678, rem. to Malden. The will names two oldest ch. and refers to seven others. DANIEL, Malden, s. of the preced. m.

His will of 8 Feb. 1743 names all the ch. but Joseph, prob. d. DANIEL, Malden, s. of the first John, had William, b. 1709, as is said; but it is not kn. that he was m.

Of his own d. the date 8 Dec. 1694 is told, but his wid. d. 28 Jan. 1732, aged 78.

Benjamin, 1643; Thomas, 1645; Samuel, 1647; Pelatiah, 1650; and Abraham, 1655 or 6. Why he call, two s.

Sarah, wh. d. in Eng. and for the boys the opinion would answer better than for the d. Yet perhaps few, if any of the ten, were b. in this country; at least, he is not found among inhabs. of C. in 1658; tho. he may have liv. in some other town of Mass. at that day, as he did few yrs. bef. at Reading.

VI. 377, from the pub. reg. purport. to transcribe rec. of Roxbury, Jane Wife, wid. bur. 1637; but my copy of the town rec. giv. it plain Wise, detracts from the weight of this item.

Bradstreet in Geneal. Reg. I. 77, is of little conseq. here, for his d. who m. Wiggin is count. twice.

JOHN, a youth of 15 yrs. passeng. in the Speedwell from London to Boston 1656. * THOMAS, Dover, one of the earliest mem. of governm. there, 1631, went home next yr. and show, regard for Mass. in a letter of Aug. to Emanuel Downing, and Nov. to Sir John Cooke, wh. are print. in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. came back in Oct. 1633, with agency of the puritan peers. Say and Brooke, prob. bring. w.

H. people with Mass. was rep. 1645 for Hampton, and 1650 chos. an Assist. in wh. office he contin, serv. till three yrs. bef. his d. 1667. In the artifices for support of the spurious deed of the large part of N. H. 17 May 1629, Wiggin's name is used with Walter Neale's in a forged letter of 13 Aug. 1633, print. in Belkn. N. H. Vol. I. of first Ed. in Appendix 6, with the valua. letter of Cotton Mather, in aid of the cause, whether with his eyes open, or only winking, may be disput. The docum. is self-destruct. inasmuch as Wiggin was agent of the party in Eng. oppos. in interest to Mason, whose agent was Neal, but far more open to object. by one inquir. only after the truth, as purport. to be writ. by them at Dover, call. Northam in the trickery, when Neale had one week bef. sail. for Eng. from Boston, and Wiggin was in Eng. embarking at Gravesend in the James for Salem, where he arr. 10 Oct. after eight weeks' pass. See Winthrop Hist. I. 115. THOMAS, s. of the preced. may have liv. at Hampton or Exeter, was freem. of Mass. 1669, but very little is kn. of him exc. that his w. was Sarah, sis. of capt.

WIGGLESWORTH, EDWARD, New Haven 1638, had come in Aug. of that yr. to Mass. brot. w. Esther, perhaps sis. of Rev. John Rayner, and s.

Dec. prob. 13, 1640, was a man of good repute, and comfortab. est. d. 1 Oct. 1653. Of his last sickness he gave acco. stat. his age 49, in a letter to John Winthrop, 18 July bef. his d. wh. may be read in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. IX. 296, 7. In his will made six days bef. that let. he names only ch. Michael, and Abigail, to wh. he gives L160. and L80. severally, but directs that her share be paya. at 20 yrs. of age, and all the resid. to w. Esther, wh. tho. constit. extrix. was, with her d. commit. to the s. then resid. at Cambridge, studying for his profess. and an officer of the [[541]] coll. with his injunct. "that he do endeavor so far as he may with conven. have them near unto him, wherever it please God to cast him." By the inv. his est. appears £401. 14s. 2d. In his diary, the s. writes "news is brot. to me." Friday, 14 Oct. 1653, "of my f.'s d. My f. d. 1 Oct." From New Haven to Cambridge the news pass. in thirteen days, while in our time the traveller requires only half as many hrs. At New Haven the inscript. on his gr.-st. back of the first ch. was alter. from 1653 to 1678, as the fac simile in Stiles's Hist. of the Regicides shows, with the vain surmise, that it had been erect. over Edward Whalley, wh. prob. d. after 1670, but earlier than 1675. EDWARD, Cambridge, youngest ch. of Rev.

Slight conject. may be rais. from the circumstance of his standing in ea. roll next above capt. William Jennison, that he was assoc. with the gent. but at Watertown he does not appear, and the safest opin. is, that he came in the fleet with Winthrop, and that he went home soon.

But long bef. he had fall. in sympathy with the major pt. of his fellowworshipp. under the danger. doctrines of Cotton and Wheelwright, so that the body of the peop. at other places in the Col. deem. it necess. to disarm them in Nov. 1637, when his charact. stood high eno. to serve on the gr. jury two mos. earlier, and in Mar. foll. he was banish. With Coddington, and seventeen others, among the best men of Boston, then purchas.

Whether the Dunbar invoice contain the names of as many young men as the Worcester, or more, or less, is unkn. but it is an object of high interest to find that one, out of a hundred, outliv. by four or five yrs. their cruel banishment and servitude.

We can be sure it was not Boston, nor Salem, nor Charlestown, nor Dorchester, nor Roxbury, nor Watertown, and of the few others Concord seems most likely. To what part of Conn. he first rem,. is unkn. or at what time; but he is seen in 1647, as rep. at Hartford, and prob. in a high degree is it, that he had more s. and ds.

That he was s. of Andrew, a D. D. of some celebr. with the Puritans, wh. d. Dec. 1621, is suggest. to me by Mr. Thornton. See BradfordÕs Hist. p. 259-60. He m. 6 July 1636, Mary, d. of John Brown, one of the Assist. that yr. wh. many yrs. aft. liv. at Swansey; had Mary, b. 10 Nov. 1637, wh. by the mem. of the Willet fam. in Geneal. Reg. II. 376, is said to have d. without issue, 11 Dec. 1678, but in my opin. m. 22 Sept. 1658, Rev. Samuel Hooker of Farmington, bore him eleven ch. and after bec. sec. w. 10 Aug. 1703 of Rev. Thomas Buckingham; Martha, 6 Aug. 1639, m. 2 Dec. 1658, John Saffin of Scituate; John, 21 Aug. 1641; Sarah, 4 May 1643, wh. m. Rev. John Eliot, s. of the apostle, and d. 13 June 1665; Rebecca, 2 Dec. 1644, d. at 7 yrs.; Thomas, 1 Oct. 1646; Esther, 10 July 1648, tho. Col. Rec. says 6 July 1647, m. 24 Jan. 1672, Rev. Josiah Flint of Dorchester, and d. 26 July 1737; James, 23 Nov. 1649; Hezekiah, d. inf. 26 July 1651; Hezekiah, again, 17 Nov. 1653; David, 1 Nov. 1654, prob. d. soon; Andrew, 5 Oct. 1655; and Samuel, 27 Oct. 1658. He was entrust. with command at the trad.-ho. of the Plymouth people at Kennebeck, 1639, and Winthrop in Hist. I. 322, tells a pleasant incident of his peaceful control of the Ind. He had been forcibly dispossess. some three or four yrs. bef. of the establishm. at Penobscot. by D'Aulney, the French lieut.-gov. of Acadia. See, in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. 92 and 94, the relations of the affair by the rival French officers, D'Aulney and La Tour. He was an Assist. 1651 to 1664, and when the Eng. conq. N. Y. he accomp. them, and was made mayor. Not long aft. however, he went back to his first friends, took sec. w. 1 Sept. 1671, Joanna, wid. of Rev. Peter Prudden, resid. at Rehoboth, and Swanzey, d. at the latter 3, the gr.-st. says 4 Aug. 1674. The inscript. on the gr.st. of the wid. (HIS ONLY W.) says she d. 8 Jan. 1699, a. the 65th yr. of her age, wh. proves how errors may be found in such places, as she could only be 5 yrs. old when her first ch. by Prudden was b. Prob. the yr. of d. was 18 yrs. earlier. See Prudden. What could explain the error of her gr.st. that she was the only w. is difficult to conject. Commonly we look to such muniments of history for a different sort of failures in truth. Perhaps only was error for sec. The brief mem. in Geneal. Reg. II. 376, corrects some current mistakes, but makers some others. THOMAS, Newtown, L. I. s. prob. of the preced. d. bef. his f. WILLEY, ABRAHAM, New London, s. of Isaac the first, m.

Caulkins suppos. that "he and his w. had pass. the bds.of mid. age, and that all their ch. were b. bef." But this may be too large; at least we presume that Mary or Abraham, or both, and perhaps John (tho. he is said to have work. 1651, in build. the milldam, where he seems to be mistak. for his f.) were b. after the rem. He was selectman 1647, is seen on the freemen's list 1669; m. a. 1671, Ann, wid. who had been, Caulkins thinks, third w. but in my opin. only sec. of Andrew Lester, as I much distrust the exist. of any d.

FRANCIS, Portsmouth, sent over by Gorges and Mason, the patentees, 1631, and when their Gov. Neal went home, they made W. the successor. He seems to have act. with discret. and when Mass. acquir. the rule of the country he had authty. with Bradstreet [[560]] and others to hold judicial power at Dover, as in our first vol. of Rec. is seen. He was, however, atttract. to Barbadoes a. 1645. FRANCIS, Boston, by w. Mary had Francis, b. 12 Oct. 1686.

HENRY, Scarborough 1651, was one of the three betrust. by Rigby, the patentee of a large province, as Assist. and selectman 1652 and 69, was wound. 10 Oct. 1676 at Saco. Of HENRY, wh. was in 1683, at Derby, and d. 1687, I find not that he had fam. and for CHARLES of the same, I kn. nothing but as bef. said, and that in 1686, he was one of the petitnrs. for gr. of the town of Preston.

JAMES, a preacher at Plymouth, of wh. resid. that must have been short, no acco. is found. JAMES, Hartford, serv. of Nathaniel Sanford, at first, m. 1691, Sarah, d. of Thomas Richardson of Farmington, had James, bapt. 1693; Hepzibah, 1696; Sarah, 1699; Samuel, 1700; Abigail, 1707; and Daniel, 1710. He rem. to Wallingford, but date of his d. is unkn. JENKIN, Scarborough 1673. JOHN, Boston, ship carpenter, lately come to this country, was hang. for murder, 28 Sept. 1637. JOHN, by Farmer seen at Piscataqua 1631, of wh. is no more told. JOHN, Scituate 1643, had prob. been some yrs. in the Col. as Deane thot. he came with Hatherly in 1632, brot. s. John, Edward, and d. Ann, perhaps also, younger d. Mary, and w. Ann. By his will of 10 Dec. 1667, he names these, and permits us to infer, in connex, with collat. knowledge, that Anthony Dodson, wh. m. 1652, Mary, was then d. that Ann had been 1632, w. of John Barker, was then w. of John Pratt, and that she, by the former h. had Deborah, then w. of William Burden, and John, Abraham, and Mary Barker. JOHN, Newbury, had (perhaps by two ws.) Sarah; John; Mary, b. 20 Sept. 1641; and Lydia, 15 Mar. 1643; prob. rem. to Haverhill; had there b. Joseph, 18 Apr. 1647; Sarah, m. 5 May 1646, John Ayer. His sec. w. was Jane, and his will of 9 Dec. 1670, was pro. 18 Mar. 1674. JOHN, Windsor 1639, m. 29 June 1644, Mary Burkly, if we follow Parsons in his spelling, Geneal. Reg. V. 364; but a more practised eye reads the name Brelly, Bralley, or Burlly, perhaps the same as Burleigh in our times; and we gain no light from the early dwellers at W. had John, b. 26 Mar. 1646; Nathaniel, 25 Oct. 1647; Rebecca, 20 Apr. 1649; Hannah, 13 Apr. 1651; Mary and Elizabeth tw. 5 Jan. 1653; Abiel, 2 Sept. 1655; and Abigail, 31 May 1658; and he d. 1665. Of the five ds. we kn. that Rebecca m. 1670, Obadiah Cooley of Springfield; Hannah m. 1677, Nathaniel Bancroft of Westfield; Mary m. 1678, John Gunn; Elizabeth d. in few wks.; and Abigail m. 1681, Edward Griswold; Abiel may have d. unm.

His will of 22 Oct. 1696, pro. 15 Feb. foll. names w. Elizabeth (perhaps not the mo. of the ch.); John; Elizabeth w. of Thomas Marston; Mary; Ruth, w. of Abraham Purchase; and Sarah, [[562]] d. of his s. Joseph. In 1690, he was aged 70, with w. ten yrs. older, says Felt. JOHN, Boston, butcher, may be the testator, of whose will, Dec. 1684, pro. 26 Mar. foll. speak. of two ds. Hannah (wh. was b. 27 Apr. 1661), and Sarah, wh. were m. to wh. only 5s. ea. is the beq. gives all est. to w. Mary to bring up two younger ch. Rachel and Martha. It may be read in Vol. VI. 492; but no other informat. is gain. of him, exc. that in 1673, he receives deeds of two est. in B. JOHN, Roxbury, s. of Robert of the same, b. prob. in Eng. and no doubt eldest, d. 6 Oct. 1658, as is seen at the Prob. off. when admin. was giv. to his f. nine days aft. It is observ. that neither ch. nor town rec. ment. him. nor did the Fam. Genealogist, nor Ellis, the histor. of the place, express any knowl. of ever hear. of such a man. By the ch. rec. I find his d. (unless, wh. is not wholly unreasonabl. the name be mistak. by the abbrev. for that of his f. Robert) Elizabeth in full commun. bef. the d. of her f. but wh. was her mo. is unkn. JOHN, Scituate 1643, fit to bear arms, prob. s. of John of the same, was a capt. d. 22 June 1694, aged 70. He serv. in Philip's war, and had command of a comp. when the great Ind. sachem was k. His est. was good, but his will of 1691, names no w. nor ch. and to his relatives, serv. and friends, gives freely. JOHN, Boston, s. of the first Nathaniel of the same, m. 1670. Ann, eldest d. of Dr. John Alcock of Roxbury, as in the m. contr. of rec. Vol. VI. 241, may be read; rem. to Newport, but first had at B. Mary; Ann; Palsgrave; Nathaniel; and Arabella, as from hs will of 18 Apr. 1687 is found, in wh. provis. is made for them, and ano. ch. expected. That instr. was pro. 22 June 1688, before Francis Brinley, Esq. wh. had by Andros, been constit. judge for that portion of his dominions; but it was requir. to be rec. here in Boston, as in Vol. X. 329 appears. It refers to br. Nathaniel, br.-in-laws, Zechariah Whitman, and made excors. w. with s. Nathaniel when he should come of age. JOHN, Windsor, s. of John of the same, was in the list of freem. 1669, m. 8 Aug. 1672, Bethia, d. of Thomas Parsons, wid. of Thomas Mascall of the same, had Francis, b. 25 May 1673; and John and Ebenezer, tw. 7 Jan. 1676. His w. d. 1681, and he m. 1686, wid. Esther Egglestone; but it is unkn. whether he had more ch. JOHN, Boston 1670, styles hims. of Camberwell, Co. Surrey, late of London, merch. in B. but to appropr. to ea. John severally, the births for the first sixty or seventy yrs. on Boston rec. when the designat. of the parents, is barely, John and Ann, John and Elizabeth John and Jane, John and Mary, thro. various generat. must be undertak. with high presumpt. and would be abandon. with utter despair. Oft. one John is blessed with a ch. b. in few wks. after ano. John had obtain. the similar favor. JOHN, Haverhill, s. prob. of John of the same, m. 9 Sept. 1661, Rebecca, d. of Anthony Colby of [[563]] Salisbury, had Sarah, b. 27 June 1662; Mary, 24 Nov. 1663; a d. prob.

JOHN, Salem, s. perhaps of John of the same, m. 8 Dec. 1686, Sarah Manning, d. prob. of Richard of Ipswich, had Sarah, b. 18 Aug. 1689. Other ch. he had, perhaps by ano. w. to wit, Anstis, 25 Dec. 1700; John, 14 Nov. 1702; Henry, 2 Feb. 1705; Mary, 8 May 1706; George, 14 Mar. 1708; and Richard, 27 Aug. 1710. JOHN, New London, is seen, by Miss Caulkins, liv. on Groton side, and m. a. 1686, Jane, wid. of Hugh Hubbard, d. of Carey Latham; but even her diligence could learn no more exc. that he d. 3 Dec. 1741, at gr. age, as was his w. and left only s. Peter. JOHN, Deerfield, s. of deac. Samuel of Roxbury, began soon after leav. coll. to fit for the pulpit, and m. 21 July 1687, Eunice, d. of Rev. Eleazer Mather of Northampton, and had Eleazer, b. 1 July 1688, H. C. 1708, and if we follow the very doubtful Fam. Geneal. even an earlier s. Eliakim, who d. young; preach. first at D. 1686, but was not ord. bef. 18 Oct. 1688; had also, Samuel, 4 Jan. 1690, d. at 23 yrs.; Esther, 10 Apr. 1691; Stephen, 14 May 1693, H. C. 1713; Eunice, 16 Sep[. 1696; Warham, 7, bapt. perhaps 16 Sept. 1699; Eliakim, again; John, 15 Jan. 1704, k. by the Ind. on 29 of next mo. as was his young br. Eliakim; and all the rest of the fam. exc. Eleazer, were tak. towards Canada, but his w. d. of suffering on the road. He m. aft. resettlem. of D. Abigail Allen of Windsor, had Abigail, 1708; John, 23 Nov. 1709, d. young; Eliakim, again, 6 Feb. 1711; Elijah, 13 Nov. 1712; and Sarah, Sept. 1716; and he d. 12 June 1729. The story of his Redeemed Captive has been very much read, in all succeed. times, and the ch. Stephen publ. also, a very agreeable narrat. JOSEPH, Taunton, s. of Richard of the same, m. 28 Nov. 1667, Elizabeth d. of George Watson of Plymouth, had Elizabeth b. 30 July 1669, drown, at 19 yrs.; Richard, 26 Nov. 1671, d. under 17 yrs.; Mehitable, 7 June 1676; Joseph, 13 Feb. 1679; Benjamin, 15 Oct. 1681; Ebnezer, 21 Apr. 1685; Phebe, 25 Sept. 1687; and Richard, 26 Mar. 1689; and d. 17 Aug. 1692. JOSEPH, Salem, s. perhaps youngest, of George of the same, m. 20 Nov. 1661, Sarah, d. of Thomas Browning; had Mary b. 19 Aug. 1662, d. soon; Joseph, Aug. 1663, d. in few mos.; Joseph, again, 17 Mar. 1665; Sarah, 28 Oct. 1666; George, 22 Feb. 1670; Daniel, 3 Jan. 1672; Benjamin and Abigail, tw. 7 Dec. 1673; and David, 7 Sept. 1676. He d. 1682, at least his wid. returns inv. on 27 June of that yr. JOSEPH, Boston, by w. Lydia [[564]] had Joseph, b. 14 Feb. 1670; William, 13 Dec. 1671; Richard, 8 Feb. 1673, tho. rec. would make the mo. to be Elizabeth wh. is, in my opin. a clerical blunder, as the foll. seven ch. are all count. for Lydia; that is to say, Hannah, 20 May 1674; Daniel, 25 Dec. 1676; Hannah, again, 26 May 1679; Jeremiah, 22 Aug. 1683; Elizabeth 22 Aug. 1686; Elizabeth again, 9 Dec. 1688; and Mary, 6 Nov. 1689. JOSEPH, Providence, youngests s. of famous Roger, wh. gives, in let. of Feb. 1660 to his frd. Gov. Winthrop account of the youth's cure of epilepsy by taking tobacco, and the cure did not shorten his days. [See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 28.] He m. 17 Dec. 1669, Lydia, youngest d. of Thomas Olney the first, had Joseph, b. 26 Sept. 1670, d. soon; Thomas, 16 Feb. 1672; Joseph, again, 10 Nov. 1673; Mary, June 1676; James, 24 Sept. 1680; and Lydia, 26 Apr. 1683; and d. 17 Aug. 1724 at Cranston, where the gr.st. is encumb. with more doleful verse than is often seen. His wid. d. three wks. aft. He engag. alleg. to Charles II. 31 May 1666; was an Assist. 1704, and on 28 Sept. of that yr. verif. the declarat. made by his f. in 1682. JOSEPH, Haverhill, youngest s. of the first John of the same, took o. of alleg. 1677, m. 18 Nov. 1674, Mary Fuller of Barnstable, d. of the first Samuel, had Sarah, b. 17 Nov. 1675, Mary, 29 Nov. 1677; John, 17 Feb. 1680; Hannah, 30 Sept. 1683; but no more is told of him. MATTHEW, Wethersfield, by w. Susannah had Amos, b. 1645; Matthew, 1647, d. soon; Matthew, again, 1651; and Samuel, 1653. Of him the Col. Rec. of Trumbull tells no good, but that he seems to be d. in 1664. MATTHEW, Dover, tax there 1657-1668, was perhaps br. of the first William of the same. NATHANIEL, Boston, glover, as he grew to be, but call. laborer, on adm. to the ch. 26 May 1639, freem. 13 May foll. by w. Mary had Ruth, bapt. 2 June 1639, a yr. old; Elizabeth 18 Oct. 1640, tho. town rec. says b. 21; Nathaniel, 25 Sept. 1642, "a. six days old;" John, 18 Aug. 1644. "a. three days old;" Mary, b. 30 Nov. 1646, and when bapt. 6 Dec. foll. is call. "a. a day old;" and Hannah, bapt. 7 Jan. 1649. "a. nine days old." He was held in good esteem, had fair est. and d. 1661. His will was of 22 Apr. and his inv. of 7 May in that yr. His wid. m. Peter Brackett of Braintree, d. Ruth m. Joseph Belknap of Boston, and Mary m. John Viall, jr. of Braintree. NATHANIEL, Taunton, s. of Richard of the same, m. 17 Nov. 1668, Elizabeth d. of John Rogers of Marshfield or Duxbury, had John, b. 27 Aug. 1675; Nathaniel, 9 Apr. 1679; and Elizabeth 18 Apr. 1686. NATHANIEL, Boston, s. of Nathaniel of the same, was much engag. in Philip's war, as a commissa. in 1676, by w. Mary, had Nathaniel, b. Aug. 1675, H. C. 1693, by the careful Mr. Whitmore thot. to be successor of Famous Master Cheever in the Boston sch.; Elizabeth 28 Feb. 1678, d. soon; Oliver, 21 Aug. 1679; Elizabeth again, 22 Jan. 1682; James, [[565]] 3 Mar. 1687; and Sarah, 30 Sept. 1692; freem. 1676; and had gr. of ld. in 1679. NATHANIEL, Windsor, s. of the first John of the same, m. 3 Oct. 1681, Mary, d. of John Owen of the same, had Mary, b. 1682; rem. to Westfield, there had Abiel, 23 Mar. 1684; Rebecca, 27 Sept. 1685; Elizabeth 1687; John, 3 Nov. 1689, d. next yr.; Nathaniel, 25 Aug. 1691; Abigail, 1693; Hannah; Keziah, 1701; Naomi, 1703; Orpha, 1706; and John, again; and d. 1711. His wid. with two s. and nine ds. enjoy. his est. 1714, and she d. 1750. NICHOLAS, Roxbury, freem. 1652, but he is not nam. by Ellis, nor can I find any acco. of him, exc. that Robert in his will calls him br. and beq. to him 30s. a yr. charg. upon the est. therein giv. to his eldest s. Samuel. OWEN, Newport, among the freem. 1655, rem. in few yrs. to Norwich, there d. 1682; and, it is said, that descend. are in Preston, wh. was pt. of N. PARK, Lebanon, youngest s. of deac. Samuel of Roxbury, by w. Priscilla had Bathsheba, b. at Roxbury, 28 Aug. 1701 (unkn. to the compiler of the fam. geneal.), Samuel, John, Ebenezer, Eleazer, William, Theoda, Sarah, Elizabeth and Martha; but the print. vol. gives no date to either s. or d. yet tells that his w. d. in 1742, aged 71, and he only ten yrs. older in 1751. Roxbury rec. gives John, b. 6 June 1706. RICAHRD, Saco, d. in Oct. 1636, engag. with Gov. Cradock, as "a clapboard cleaver," may be the same who had been fined for drunk. in Mass. Mar. 1634, tho. the same Vol. I. of our Col. Rec. shows the fine was remit. perhaps bec. it could not be collect. four yrs. after. * RICHARD, Taunton 1637, went from Salem, whither Baylies I. 284, suppose. he came, bec. his w. Frances Dighton was sis. of the first w. of Capt. Endicott, wh. is a sad error, as it was Gov. Thomas Dudley's w. that was meant. Perhaps the historian of Plymouth was misled in his assumpt. of the first resid. at S. by ano. suppos. that he was br. of Roger; but either of these seem to me very improb. tho. not so wild as the tradit. that he was a relat. of Oliver Cromwell. He was one of the first purch. of the terit. from the Ind. and was the chief male inhab. for many yrs. sprung from Glamorgansh. and m. it is said, by Emery I. 44, in Gloucestersh. had ch. John, prob. d. young; Samuel, Joseph, Nathaniel, bapt. 7 Feb. 1641, Thomas, Benjamin, Elizabeth and Hannah; and not has date of b. nor is there approxima. for any of the eight, exc. Elizabeth a. 1647, prob. therefore one of the oldest half, wh. m. John Bird of Dorchester; Hannah m. John Parmenter of Boston, as his sec. w. As it is very clear, that all these ch. were b. long after he sett. at T. I. greatly distr. the tradit. of his very early coming to our country, and more the Gloucestersh. w. He was rep. 1646, 8, 50, and sev. later yrs. but the time of his d. is not found. Descend. have been num. and highly respect. RICHARD, Boston, had Phebe, b. [[566]] Aug. 1643; and Benjamin, Aug. 1645, if the substitute for Robert in the rec. marg. of the vol. of births be adjudg. reasonable, when the ch. rec. of the bapt. of Phebe, a. eight days old, on 3 Sept. 1643, assigns her to Robert; and the same Robert had s. Benjamin, tho. the ch. rec. has John, of Robert, bapt. 7 Sept. 1645. RICHARD, Branford 1646, had Samuel, b. 13 Sept. 1655; and Daniel, 15 Apr. 1657; rem. to Fairfield 1658, but soon rem. again, and it is not kn. to what place. One Richard was a town officer, says Mitchell, at Bridgewater, in 1665. RICHARD, Stonington, or the disput. Narraganset territ. 1670, in 1677 had long controv. with Isaac Hall, a. lds at Misquamicut or Squamacuck, or such Ind. name now perhaps Westerly, in wh. W. best H. at last. RICHARD, Boston, by w. Bathsheba, had Joseph, b. 3 Dec. 1672, d. very soon; John, 24 Oct. 1673; and Joseph, again, 7 Mar. 1677. RICHARD, New Haven, a physician in 1691, of wh. no more is heard. ROBERT, Roxbury 1637, freem. 2 May 1638, came, it is said, from Norwich, Co. Norfolk, with w. Elizabeth by fam. tradit. nam. Stratton, and ch. Samuel, Mary, if not more, as that ch. was five yrs. old, and I think ano. s. John was a passeng. with his f. for clear is it, that he was not b. at R. where the only b. appear, Isaac, 1 Sept. 1638; Stephen, 8 Nov. 1640; and in the fam. geneal. is nam. also Thomas, by Ellis said to be b. after, and in the Hist. said to have d. young; but I doubt both the authorities, as neither b. nor d. after long search is found in the rec. of either town or ch. Still the deficiency of rec. is seen in other respects, as the will of 26 Nov. 1685, names gr.ch. Deboroah Totman, and Elizabeth Robinson, for wh. I find not the mos. so that we are uncertain, whether he had two ds. m. or three. His eldest d. Mary m. Nicholas Wood; w. Elizabeth d. last of June, or 28 July 1674, by strange carelessness in the town rec. call. 80 yrs. old. when she prob. was a dozen yrs. younger. He m. 3 Nov. 1675, Margaret, wid. of John Fearing of Hingham, but whether he had a third w. is less certain, tho. in fam. geneal. he is supplied with one, Miss Martha Strong, said to have d. 1704, in her 92d yr. He d. 1 Sept. 1693, in the first art. of his will providing for the performance of the covenant with his w. ROBERT, Boston, in 1641 was, with Edward Goodwin, lessee of Winisemet ferry, wh. may render it prob. that he was s. of Thomas, adm. of the ch. 10 Apr. 1642, freem. 10 May 1643, had Joseph, b. July 1641, bapt. 17 Apr. 1642; Phebe, 3 Sept. 1643, a. 8 days old; John, 7 Sept. 1645, wh. d. young; and Benjamin. His will of 12 Oct. 1677, pro. 30 Jan. foll. gives lds. to his eldest s. Joseph and Benjamin, beq. to d. Phebe Eglin and her childr. to the eldest s. of Joseph and of Benjamin, and gr.d. Mary Eglin. ROBERT, Boston, of wh. I kn. no more than is seen in the diary of Sewall, where he says, under 25 Aug. 1695, "R. W. the grave-digger, bell-ringer, [[567]] &c. &c. d." ROBERT, Providence, tho. among the freem. of 1655, and a br. of the noble founder of Providence, yet little more is kn. of him, but that he was, ten yrs. later, sch.-master at Newport. ROBERT, Killingworth 1667, was propound. to be freem. 1669, had a d. b. 1671, but no more is kn. of him. Ano. ROBERT was of Oyster Bay, L. I. 1650; and Farmer MS. ment. one of N. H. as early as 1670, but he could not detain him there, certain. not long eno. for any story of him to reach us. ROBERT, Boston, by w. Margery, had Martha, b. 7 May 1672; Jonathan, 22 Sept. 1673; Mary, 2 Dec. 1675; James, 20 Feb. 1678; Jacob, 19 Dec. 1679; Elizabeth 8 Nov. 1681; Robert, 13 Jan. 1686, prob. d. young; Hepzibah, 1 Nov. 1688; and Robert, again, 3 Apr. 1691. Dr. Thaddeus William Harris, the late learned libr. at our Univ. count. the b. of his ancest. deac. Jonathan Williams eight yrs. too early. See p. 319 of the Geneal. and Hist. of the Williams fam. ROGER, Dorchester 1630, came in the Mary and John, prob. with w. Frances, req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. of that yr. and was sw. on 18 May foll. serv. on the jury 30 Sept. of the first yr. upon the k. of Bratcher by Palmer, rem. early, prob. 1636 or 7, to Windsor, there was in good repu. had comfort. est. serv. on the jury 1642, 3, and 4, lost his w. by d. 10 Dec. 1645. He soon aft. 1647, or in that yr. sold ho. and ld. and came back to D. m. 1649 or be. Lydia Bates, d. of the first James, had Ebenezer, b. Jan. 1650, in that yr. call. hims. of Boston, when he sold ld. in D. to Thomas Thaxter; but no more is told of him. * ROGER, Providence, the great assert. of relig. freedom, b. in Wales 1599, as uncert. tradit. says, and she would make him, partly, as least, educ. at Oxford, where ano. Roger, or Roderic, was adm. 30 Apr. 1624, wh. was s. of William, and by Felt in Eccles. Hist. I. 147, resceiv. as our N. E. reformer, wh. to me, seems nearly impossib. But a strong prob. is, that he was not be. earlier than 1605; and the fact is, he was bred up at the Charter Ho. as in mod. days the sch. is call. but when W. was there, Sutton's Hospital. On that foundat. he was chos. a scholar 25 June 1621, and on 9 July 1624, again. an exhibition under powerf. patronage. This we learn from Mrs. Anne Sadler, d. of the gr. lawyer, Sir Edward Coke, in a collection of letters, at the library of Trinity Coll. Cambridge, by Williams, writ. a. 1652, to her; she wrote on the back of one of them (wh. had shocked her devotion to ch. and king) that her f. "took such liking to him, that he put him to Sutton's Hospitall, and he was the sec. that ws placed there," mean. perhaps by his gr. patron. From this favor of Coke arose, prob. the tradit. that our benign. founder of Providence had enjoy. the protection of the Lord Ch. Justic of the Common Pleas, had been support. at the Univ. of Oxford, and stud. the law for a profession under the great oracle of jurisprudence. But from [[568]] Winthrop's Hist. we kn. he had been a minister. The exhibition obtain. in the London Inst. 9 July 1624, seems to disprove his identi. with the stud. ent. at Jesus Coll. Oxford in Apr. preced. and my ignorance of the rules and customs of the Charter Ho. forbids me to speak with confidence. To write his life and illustrate his charact. has long been felt as a duty by the scholars of the beautiful city he found. and after serv. attempts more may be said. Professor Elton, wh. serv. yrs. since publish his biogr. has had means of discover. how he had been deceiv. as to the b. and educ. of the amiable hero; and we hope for ano. ed. of his vol. If at either of the Eng. Univ. he was educ. wh. seems very uncert. to me. Cambridge is entitl. to the honor, rather than Oxford. He came from Bristol, 1 Dec. 1630, in the Lion, and reach. Boston 9 Feb. foll. with w. Mary; and in few wks. during wh. he was desir. to settle in the ch. of Boston, by their unanimous choice, in the spring. of 1631, as he tells, in a letter (most characteristic of the writer, equal in value to any one in a thousand of our New Eng. epistles) to Rev. John Cotton of Plymouth, print. in Mass. Hist. Transactions of the Soc. 1855-08 pp. 313-6, but his tender conscience did not dare to officate to "an unseparated peopple." This statement of Williams I accept without hesitat. tho. in a note on p. 406 of Vol. I. of Hist. of N. E. by Prof. Palfrey, whose eye had been blessed with the orig. MS. a doubt might have pass. thro. his mind to extort the remark: "it is very extraordin. that the fact is not ment. in any record of the time." But no contempo. rec. exc. that of the Col. would possib. contain it, for no other is in exist. our earliest rec. of Boston civil affairs begins abrupt. in the middle of a sentence, Sept. 1634, preced, pages being lost, yet that is four or five yrs. bef. we have an orig. ecclesiastic. rec. of any thing exc. bapt. Even the name of Williams, our gr. reformer, is FIRST read in Col. Rec. Sept. 1635, being that of his banishm. Vol. I. 160; as ea. of the sev. prior read. of Roger Williams manifest. refers to the Dorchester man. But quite concur. with the sense and even phrase of that let. to Cotton is the lang. of Winthrop Hist. I. 53 in the order of Court, recit. that he "had refused to join with the congregat. [i. e. church] at Boston, because they would not make a pub. declarat. of their repent. for hav. commun. with the chhs. of Eng." &c. That order was in Apr. 1631, less than a fortnight after Boston ch. was left without a min. by Wilson's depart. for home, and two and a half yrs. bef. com. of Cotton's father. Assuredly he was not likely to refuse before he was asked. He next went to be assoc. with Skelton at Salem, in teach. that congreg. but was more wanted at Plymouth, in the autumn of that yr. and contin. good pt,. of two yrs. to minister here; hardly had he got back to Salem, where the people wish. him as successor of Skelton, bef. his overscrupul. conscience made [[569]] him and others trouble; and in two yrs. the affections of his people could not prevent the Gen. Ct. from banishm. of their teacher. He had been excommun. at S. for refus. to bring his ch. to bapt. &c. In the winter of 1635-6, he meekly obey, the cruel sentence, and next spring, or more prob. in June, laid the foundat. of the prosperous city by him, with pious emotion, call, Providence. See the opening chap. of Arnold's Hist. of R. I. There he was usually held in much honor, tho. occasional. overborne by antagon. against wh. his revenge was exhaust. in show. kindness. He always had the friendship of Gov. Winthrop tho. circumstances, consist. with the honor of both, enforced their long and sad separat. As the Col. agent in London, or chief Magistr. here, he was equal, discreet and disinterest. to his d. in Apr. 1683. Of his w. Mary, the fam. name, or date of the m. is unkn. but she came with her h. and may have had ch. in Eng. for only six can be precisely kn. to be b. on our side of the water; Mary is said to have been b. at Plymouth, the first week in Aug. 1633; Freeborn, at Salem, late in Oct. 1635; Providence, late in Sept. 1638, wh. d. unm.

SAMUEL, Roxbury, eldest s. of Robert of the same, b. in Eng. a. 1632, was a shoemaker, join. the ch. when under 16 yrs. freem. 1650, a deac. m. 2 Mar. 1654, Theoda, eldest d. of deac. William Park of the same, had Elizabeth b. 1, bapt. 11 Feb. foll. and d. 10 of next mo.; Samuel, 15, bapt. 27 Apr. 1656; Martha, 29 Apr. 1657, unless the rec. be, as I doubt not it is, wrong, bapt. 28 Mar. 1658, d. or was bur. 6 Feb. 1661; Elizabeth again, 11, bapt. 26 Feb. 1660; Theoda, 27 July, bapt. 3 Aug. 1662, d. at 16 yrs.; John, 10 Dec. 1664, H.

Stephen Park, and d. 26 Aug. 1718. SAMUEL, Salem, a cooper, sec. s. of George of the same, m. 2 Apr. 1662, Mary, eldest d. of Hilliard Veren, I suppose, had Samuel, b. 26 Dec. foll. d. in few wks.; Samuel, again, 21 Nov. 1664; Mary, 7 Mar. 1667, d. soon; Hilliard, 26 Dec. 1668; George, 12 Feb. 1670, d. in few wks.; Sarah, 15 July 1672; Mary, again, 27 Nov. 1674, d. young; Richard, 3 Mar. 1679; Mary, again, 2 Mar. 1681; Joshua, May 1683; and Nathaniel, 25 Jan. 1687; and d. 1689, betw. the date of his will, 23 May, and its prob. 26 Nov. of that yr. SAMUEL, Taunton, sec. s. of Richard of the [[570]] same, m. Jane, d. of Thomas Gilbert, had Mary; Sarah; Hannah, b. a. 1670; Seth, a. 1676; Samuel, a. 1680; and Daniel, a. 1682. SAMUEL, Roxbury, eldest s. of Samuel of the same, m. 24 Feb. 1680, Sarah May, d. prob. of the sec. John of the same, had Samuel, b. 6 Apr. 1681; Theoda, 8 Dec. 1682; John, 1 Dec. 1684; a ch. 1 Jan. 1687, d. same day; Sarah, 19 May 1688; Ebenezer, 12 Aug. 1690; Elizabeth 12 Jan. 1693; Eleazer, 20 Feb. 1695; William, 24 Apr. 1698; and Martha, 10 Aug. 1710. His w. d. 29 Dec. 1712, and he m. 28 Apr. 1720, Dorothy, wid. of William Denison, d. of Thomas Weld; and d. 8 Aug. 1735. SIMON, Hatfield, took o. of alleg. 8 Feb. 1679. STEPHEN, Roxbury, fourth s. of Robert of the same, m. Sarah Wise, d. of Joseph of the same, had Sarah, b. 13 Aug. 1667; Mary, 20 Dec. 1669; Elizabeth 1 Oct. 1672; Bethia, 26 Apr. 1676; Stephen, 27 Aug. 1678; Robert, 13 July 1680, d. at three mos.; Joseph, 24 Feb. 1682; John, 1 Dec. 1684; Henry, 9 Apr. 1686, d. at 4 mos.; Grace, 2 Apr. 1688; Catharine, 9 Nov. 1690, d. at 16 yrs.; and Thomas, 27 July 1694, d. in few wks.; and d. 15 Feb. 1720. his wid. in her will of 18 June 1723, pro. 30 Aug. 1728, names s.

Robert Sharp, and Sarah Hastings, of her d. Sarah. THOMAS, Plymouth 1620, passeng. in the Mayflower, one of the signers of the mem. compact at Cape Cod in Nov. had no fam. and d. soon after the land. as Gov. Bradford tells. Ano. THOMAS, Plymouth, not s. of the preced. was serv. of the wid. Warren, in 1635 charg. with profane speech. THOMAS, Boston 1630, was call. to serve on coroner's jury 18 Sept. of that yr. so that it may be presum. that he came in the fleet with Winthrop req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. with an alias as Harris, without such alias was sw. 18 May foll. and the same day allow. to set up a ferry betw. Winisemet and Charlestown, and Winisemet and the younger town of Boston. As nothing more is ever heard of him, exc. that in 1651, he bot. a ho. of Walter Merry, I suppose he must have brot. fam. from Eng. and his w. d. early. Perhaps he was f. or br. of Robert of the same, wh. by lease from a Comtee. of the Gen. Ct. Sept. 1641, was made partaker of the interest in that Winisemet ferry, as in Rec. I. 341. THOMAS, Saco 1636, own alleg. to Mass. July 1653, then the chief man in that planta. where he had liv. near 20 yrs. THOMAS, Plymouth 1643, then able to bear arms. Ano. THOMAS, Boston, made his will 25 Apr. 1646, pro. 5 Nov. foll. calls John Spoore his master. See Geneal. Reg. III. 180. Farmer mistook him for the earlier Thomas of Boston. But later by a whole generat. may be seen in the rec. of b. the same puzzle that confound. me about four, five, or six Johns, as Thomas and Ann have many [[571]] ch. Thomas, b. 29 Mar. 1661; Charles, 20 Sept. 1662; Thomas, again, 9 Apr. 1664; Hannah, 22 Mar. 1666; Elizabeth 6 Feb. 1668; and Susanna, wh. may all belong to a single couple; yet, when Thomas and Elizabeth bring in a contribut. to the registry, doubt arises whether the f. be the same of Thomas, b. 1 Jan. 1677. THOMAS, perhaps of Rehoboth, bef. 1647, at least Thomas Bliss of R. in his will, 1649, calls him, h. of his eldest d. THOMAS, Eastham, had Nathaniel, b. 24 Apr. 1655, as Col. Rec. tells. THOMAS, Wethersfield, had ten ch. of wh. we kn. the names but of only seven the b. and that he had w. Rebecca is also kn. but whether she was the only one is less clear. He made his will 16 Dec. 1689, yet prob. d. not bef. Feb. 1693; left w. and eight ch. had Thomas, b. 9 Mar. 1657; Samuel, 11 June 1659, d. bef. his f.; John, 15 Apr. 1662; Jacob, 7 Mar. 1665; Sarah, 1667, d. bef. her f.; Rebecca, 1669; Mary, 1671; Abraham; Hannah; and Ruth. Four s. liv. at W. 1693. THOMAS, Groton, of whose f. the name or resid. is unkn. by w. Mary, m. says Butler, 11 July 1666, had Thomas, b. 17 Mar. foll.; John, 3 Nov. 1668; Mary, 3 Feb. 1672; and Hannah, 1 Feb. 1674. THOMAS, New London 1670, d. 24 Sept. 1705, a. 61 yrs. old, leav. wid.

TIMOTHY, Marshfield, of wh. we kn. that he was in the list of those able to bear arms 1643, and no more. WILLIAM, Salem 1637, if he may so claim in right of a gr. of ld. that yr. ment. by Felt, and I find he came that yr. from Great Yarmouth, Eng. aged 40, with w. Alice, 38, and two ch. whose names are not seen; and Elizabeth aged 31, wh. may have been his sis. came on the same day from Yarmouth. One Ann W. aged 15, came from Norwich, three days bef. with a differ. fam. He may have been of Watertown, for there was a propr. says Bond, of that name in that town, 1642; and the act of the Ct. in Apr. 1641 to be read in Rec. I. 316, refers to him. If not the same man, WILLIAM, Dover, had a gr. of ld. 1653, and was tax. there 1657-1668, says Quint, had William. WILLIAM, Hartford, cooper, early there, m. 25 Nov. 1647, Jane Westover, as Goodwin thot. [[572]] the name imports tho. it reads more like Westupor, perhaps d. of Jonas of Windsor; was freem. 1654; and he d. 17 Dec. 1689, and his wid. d. 25 of the same mo. His will of 1688 names five s. William, John, James, Gabriel, and Samuel (of wh. the first four had childr. bapt.), beside four ds. Elizabeth Jane, Ruth, and Mary. He was aged 66 at his d. but dates of b. of s. and gr.ch. are not ascertain. Ano. WILLIAM of Huntington, L. I. was, by Conn. authority, order. to be made freem. of its jurisdict. 1664. WILLIAM, Dover, s. of William of the same, m. Margaret, d. of Thomas Stephenson of the same, had William, b. 22 Dec. 1662; John, 30 Mar. 1664; and Elizabeth 25 Oct. 1665; perhaps other ch.

Mary, w. of Samuel Packer. WILLIAM, Boston, m. 19 July 1660, Joanna Lynn, had Sarah, b. 20 Apr. 1662; Mary, 15 Jan. 1664; John, as I judge, 20 Dec. 1666 (tho. the name of mo. is then call. Hannah); Elizabeth 4 Jan. 1669; James, 18 Sept. 1670; Joanna, 18 Apr. 1673; William, 25 Jan. 1675; and was press. into serv. in Philip's war, as is told in Geneal. Reg. I. 139, and was k. at Medfield, I suppose, on 21 Feb. 1676. Ano. WILLIAM, Boston, by w. Sarah, had Joseph, 30 Nov. 1687. WILLIAM, Lynn, m. June 1681, Martha Tuf, had John, b. June 1682. ZEBEDIAH, Northampton, s. of Arthur of the same, m. 18 Dec. 1672, Mary, d. of William Miller of the same, had Mary, b. 24 Dec. 1673; and Zebediah, 1675, but bef. this last, had rem. to Deerfield, there was k. with capt.

WILLIAMSON, CALEB, Barnstable, m. 3 May 1687, Mary Cobb, prob. d. of James of the same, had Mary, b. 25 June 1688; William; Timothy, 29 Sept. 1692; Sarah, 2 Jan. 1695; Ebenezer, 4 Apr. 1697; Mercy; all bapt. 13 Aug. 1699; and Martha, 13 Feb. bapt. 14 Apr. 1700. He was capt. of a comp. under col. Church in the E. expedit. 1704; as Hutchinson has compil. from Nile's Hist. of the Ind. and French wars. He was, perhaps, s. of Timothy, but no earlier deriv. can prob. be successful, tho. fondly Dr. Cogswell in Geneal. Reg. I. 90, adopt. the suggest. to honor the fam. by refer. to Mr. Williamson, wh. 22 Mar. 1621, walk. with Capt. Standish acting as escort for Edward Winslow to meet the friendly sachem Massasoit, on the other side of the brook, when he made his first visit to Plymouth. No Williamson was there, we know, as passeng. in the first voyage of the Mayflower, wh. [[573]] had not sail. on her return, nor had any other vessel arr. See Young's Chron. 192. Prince ought to have detect. this error, wh. is the reverse of a very common one in the old rec. or even print. books. of sinking the final syllab. In the Memorials of Marshfield, the fancy of the writer borrows for his fictitious pilgrim from two or three later generations, the Christian name of George to bestow on him. Winsor, 337, may have seduced the fair author of hims. been misled by her. After 1700, he rem. to Hartford, was a trader with good est. and there his w. d. 1737, in her 77th yr. Capt.

TIMOTHY, Marshfield 1649, had two yrs. bef. been adm. freem. of the Col. prob. then liv. at Plymouth, m. 6 June 1653, Mary, d. of the first Arthur Howland, had Mary, b. 1654; Timothy, 1655, d. at 27 yrs.; Joanna, 1657; Experience; Martha; Abigail; George; and Nathan; and was bur. 6 Aug. 1676. His wid. m. 22 Jan. 1680, Robert Stanford, as Miss Thomas in her agreeable Memorials of M. relates. WILLIAM, came in the Defence, 1635, aged 25, with Mary, 23, prob. his w. but where he sat down, is not seen. One Ann W. aged 18, came the same yr. but later by two mos. in the Hopewell, and of her I kn. nothing. WILLIS, BENJAMIN, Bridgewater, s. of the first John of the same, m.

COMFORT, Bridgewater, br. of the preced. had serv. in the cavalry in part of Philip's war. EDWARD, Boston, m,. 15 June 1668, Ruth, d. of Rev. Zechariah Symmes, had Edward, b. 5 July 1670, d. soon; Edward and John, tw. 5 Nov. 1672; as the town rec. (or rather the copy, for the orig. may have been lost a hundred yrs.) has it by mistake, possib. for the rec. of their bapt. at the O. S. ch. might seem to indicate 27 Oct. yet I would not hastily give preference to the eccles. over the civil rec. in this case; but take this occasion to warn all inquirers to ask for orig. of old rec. where accessib. Very little is the importance of accuracy, in the present instance, for both of the ch. d. soon; ano. ch. was Elizabeth He was freem. 1673, when the name appears twice in the column for that Court, and again heads the list of 1684; was capt. bore a part in the ceremonies at the funer. of Gov.

Oft. his name appears Willow; and a very valu. petition from him thus call. at the age of 86, and John Gibson, 87, to the king, complain. of disturbance of title to ld. quiet. possess. for almost 60 yrs. is preserv. in Hutch. Hist. I. 367. Hon.

One wh. gain. enviable reput. as a poet, thirty yrs. or more since, is thot. to be deriv. from the same line, but thro. a Charles of wh. the b. is not ascertain. GEORGE, Hartford, s. of Richard (or Timothy as ano. report makes him), a gent. from Fenny Compton, Co. Warwick, came in 1638, and is found one of the Assist. next yr. Dept.-Gov. in 1641, and Gov. next yr. d. 9 Mar. 1645, hav. made his will 14 Dec. preced. with codicil of 22 Feb. and 4 Mar. as may be seen in Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 468-72. In it we learn that his w. was Mary, eldest s. George, wh. had not come from Eng. and should have the Fenny Compton est. and if he came over was to have Wethersfield lds.; s. Samuel, wh. was here, to have est. aft. his mo. d.; Hester, wh. m. 17 Oct. 1645, capt. Robert Harding; and Amy, wh. m. 30 of the same mo. (or 6 Nov. by Hartford rec.) John Pynchon.

From Farmer we learn,, that one Henry, prob. not this man, was a volunteer in the expedit. 1636, against the Pequots; and that would make his resid. to have been in or near Salem, as Endicott was head of the force. Felt does not give the name. HEZEKIAH, Hartford, s. of Samuel, m. 2 May 1704, Elizabeth d. of Rev. Jeremiah Hobart, had Ruth, b. 1705; Elizabeth 1708; George, 1709, d. soon; George, again, 1710, Mabel, 1713; [[575]] Samuel, 1714, d. at 18 yrs.; was Secr. of the Col. 1712 to 1734, and d. 24 Dec. 1741. JEREMIAH, Lynn 1637, found at Newport in the freemen's list 1655. JOHN, Boston, so early a mem. with his w. Jane, in the ch. at Boston, that it was not only bef. the date of orig. rec. and numb. 135 and 6 in our ancient copy, but not a short time even prior to 6 Nov. 1632, when he was sw. freem. He perish. in the harbor, 21 Nov. 1634, as in Winthrop Hist. I. 150 is told. His w. d. early, as we may infer from the fact being noted on the copy, that it was bef. the beginning of the subsist. first ch. rec. An error in the Index to my early Ed. of Winthrop's Hist. of N. E. had misled Farmer to the opin. that this Boston man was the rep. in the first Gen. Ct. from Lynn, or at least, to refer to my suppos. of identity. JOHN, Boston, m. 11 Jan. 1655, Hannah Else, as the rec. shows, but wh. was either h. or w. is unkn. * JOHN, Duxbury 1640, bec. one of the first sett. of Bridgewater, where he was deac. m. Elizabeth wid. of the sec. William Palmer, wh. was a Hodgkins, had five s. and three ds. John; Nathaniel; Jonathan; Comfort; Benjamin; Hannah; Elizabeth; and Sarah; says Winsor; but Mitchell gives Joseph instead of Jonathan. In the absence of the means of informat. I would suggest the inquiry, if that wid. were not sec. w. of Mr. Willis, and some of his ch. b. by a former one. Mitchell says his will, of 1692, pro. 1693, refers to the eight ch. of wh. Hannah was w. of Nathaniel Hayward; Elizabeth m. a Harvey; and Sarah was w. of John Ames; further he tells that he had four brs. Jonathan, Lawrence, Nathaniel, and Francis, and leaves us to regret that only two of them can be well discern. thro. the distance. He was the first rep. that town ever sent, in 1657, and very oft. later. JOHN, Bridgewater, s. of the preced. was a deac. m. Experience, d. of Nicholas Byram, had John; Samuel, b. 1688; Experience; and Mary; and d. a. 1712, the only date, and that uncert. that the historian of the town yields.

JOSIAH, Boston, mariner, m. Oct. 1675, Hannah, d. of Mahalaleel Munnings, as in the deed to him by her mo. wid. of Thomas Overman, who had first been wid. of said Munnings, appears by our Reg. IX. 318. JOST, or JOIST, employ. Mar. 1631, as surveyor of ordnance and cannonier, at £10. per. an. prob. was a Dutchman, whose surname is near. as outlandish as that of his bapt. being Weillust in one place, Willust in others of our Col. Rec. I. wh. teaches us that in July 1632, he had leave to go home, now without regret of Gov. Winthrop and was paid £5. towards his pass. but as in Mar. 1635, Humphrey and Endicot wer appoint. to admin. on his est. to be div. among claimants, it may be feared that his skill was lost by [[576]] untimely d. on his way. LAWRENCE, Sandwich 1643, in the list of those able to bear arms, had Mary, b. 14 Apr. 1648, may have been br. of the first deac. John of Bridgewater, and liv. at B. when he m. 5 Sept. 1656, Mary, d. of Thomas Makepeace of Boston, but nothing is ascertain. with confidence, nor whether the freem. of Mass. 1669, were the same man, wh. is very prob. for the f. of his w. in the will made aft. his rem. to Boston, makes encourag. legacy to her in June 1666. MICHAEL, Dorchester, freem. 2 May 1638, by w. Joan had Joseph, bapt. 3 Feb. 1639, wh. prob. liv. not long; rem. with Powell to Boston, there was one of the found. of sec. ch. by w. Mildred had Michael, b. 11 Nov. 1652; whether he had any more bef. com. or any other than this one aft. I cannot learn, exc. by inf. from his will of 21 June 1669, pro. 7 Oct. foll. wh. makes it certain that he had a s. Experience bef. and some ds. m. how many, or what their names is not kn. beside d. Temperance wh. was bapt. 13 Feb. 1648, unm. yet of inq. for sev. gr.ch. to wh. he gave legacies (of wh. none but Joseph Phillips is call. out), obscure diligence may fail of its reward. His w. to wh. he had giv. power to dispose of some of his prop. aft. her own d. in her will of 20 Sept. 1680, increase, the confus. in part, and lends no clue to other part, only that one of his ds. Abigail, was a. 1658, sec. w. of Thomas Bill. Other ds. are Lydia Nowell; Joanna Ellis; and beside the darkness that hangs upon gr.s. Michael and gr.d. Marsh, tho. we may guess the former to be s. of Experience, suffic. trouble would remain in the search for "daur. Pollard's childr." yet the diffic. seems inextrica. when we find that beyond the thick clouds wherein we would hunt for the ds. of her h. she scatters all hope of success, by speaking of her "five own ds." So the only safe conclus. is that she was a young wid. with five ds. when Michael took her; but perhaps the ds. m. that he refers to in his will, may have been, some at least, not his offspr. but those of the sec. w. bef. their union. MICHAEL, Boston, s. of the preced. by w.Elizabeth had Joseph, b. 4 Jan. 1680; Abigail, 12 Mar. 1682; Deliverance, 1 Nov. 1684; Obadiah, 5 Mar. 1686; Hannah, 14 June 1688; and Michael, 4 July 1694; Ebenezer, 9 Apr. 1697; was a cooper, went to London, it is believ. and their d. 1712. NATHANIEL, Bridgewater, br. of the first John of the same, an orig. propr. and perhaps the earliest sch.-master of the town, had Elkanah, b. 20 May 1639; Judith, 14 June 1641; Mary, 14 Apr. 1648, all at Sandwich, as the indefatig. Mr. Morse instructs me; and Bethia, and d. bef. 1687, is all that Judge Mitchell teaches. NATHANIEL, Bridgewater, s. of the first deac. John of the same, by w.

NEHEMIAH, Salem, br. of the preced. m. 2 Jan. 1672, Abigail, d. of Henry Bartholomew, wh. unit with the ch. 9 Feb. foll. d. 2 Sept. 1702; was constable 1679, allow. to sell wine, &c. out doors in 1690, and he d. 6 Nov. foll. leav.

Perhaps the last three were b. at S. as were Elizabeth 10 June 1687; and John, 11 Dec. 1688. WILLS, JOSHUA, Windsor, m. 5 May 1670, Azubah, d. of Thomas Lamson of New Haven, had Jonathan, b. 24 Dec. foll.; and Joshua, 10 Apr. 1672. His w. d. 12 Sept. 1676, and he m. next, 11 Aug. 1681, Hannah, d. of Thomas Buckland of W. had Hannah, 24 Aug. 1682; Susanna; John, 14 June 1687; Henry, 14 Oct. 1690, Y. C,. 1715; and Jacob, 21 Oct. 1693; and this w. d. Nov. 1694. In 1696 he took third w. Abigail, d. of John Ingersol, wid. of Thomas Rix; and he d. 6 Jan. 1721, aged 74. We kn. not wh. was his f. but presume he was b. on our side of the ocean. NATHANIEL, Ipswich 1670. THOMAS, Kittery, m. prob. bef. 1670, Lucy, d. of James Treworgy, wid. of the sec. Humphrey Chadbourne, had Joanna wh. m. Richard Cutts, and perhaps other ch. it is beyond my power to determine, how rarely, or how oft. the name giv. as Willis may be reduc. lawfully to one syllab. but clearly [[580]] the name Wills may, in sev. old rec. be stretched as I have done it. Easily, too, the initial letter is mistaken for M. WILMARTIN. See Wilmot. WILMORE, GEORGE, Portsmouth, R. I. 1638. WILMONT, or WILMARTH, or WILMOUTH, ALEXANDER, New Haven, fourth s. of William, m. a d. of Francis Brown. BENJAMIN, New Haven, sw. fidel. 1647, had been prob. resid. sev. yrs. in his will of 7 Aug. 1669, "aged a. fourscore," names three ch. Benjamin, Ann, w. of William Bunnill, and William, the first two of wh. were d. three ch. of the first s. and four of the d. to stand in place of their parents; but the whole prop. was small. BENJAMIN, New Haven, s. of the preced. was b. in Eng. and one of the signers of the orig. compact of civ. governm. 1639, unless the signat. be his f's (wh. is less prob.) m. Elizabeth wid. of the f. of James Heaton, had Hannah, b. 25 Jan. 1645; Mary, as Mr. White reads the rec. or as ano. eye of equal experience made it Mercy, 16 Feb. 1647; both bapt. 21 May 1648; and Elizabeth bapt. 23 Sept. 1649. He d. 8 Apr. 1651, and his wid. m. 8 Feb. 1660, William Judson; Hannah m. 9 Apr. 1667, Samuel Miles as his sec. w.; Mary or Mercy m. 15 July 1679, but the name of her h. is lost; and Elizabeth m. John Mix. DENJAMIN, New Haven, perhaps s. of William, had Hannah, b. 9 Dec. 1701. JOHN, Rehoboth, had Ruth, b. 5 Oct. 1673; Mehitable, 19 June 1675, tho. Col. rec. has it 1665; Nthaniel, 20 Sept. 1677; Dorothy, 26 Aug. 1680; Sarah, 21 Dec. perhaps, 1682. JOHN, Boston 1662, prob. d. in 1670, for his inv. of 11 Feb. 1671, brot. in 4 May of that yr. by John and Sarah Smith, wh. had been his wid. amt. £171. 10s. of wh. apparel in L12. and ld. lying betw. Whitcomb's and Wharton's houselots, makes larger part, acquires explanat. from the Gen. Ct. rec. of 8 June foll. as seen in IV. pt. 2d. p. 500, when it seems that he had left a ch. under age to wh. said John and Sarah should on his or her maturity pay L50. tho. it demands more. Explanat. may be circuitously gain. from the deed. of 19 Apr. 1670, in Reg. VI. 253, from Elizabeth wid. of George Ruggles, to her d. Sarah, late w. of John Wilmot, mariner, dec. JONATHAN, Rehoboth, m. 29 Dec. 1680, Esther Peck, had Esther, b. 28 Nov. 1681; Rebecca, 30 Aug. perhaps 1683. Farmer MS. has NATHANIEL, who d. 12 Nov. 1676, but he could not mark his resid. exc. as Mass. however Rehoboth rec. shows he was bur. that day. NICHOLAS, Boston, by w. Mary had Mary, b. 5 Mar. 1650; Elizabeth 26 Sept. 1657; if we believe the unhappy copy of rec. in the office of our Register, that gives next, Abigail, 2 Oct. 1657; and Hannah, 10 Feb. 1660; and leaves us to suppose these four were all. The orig. has prob. been lost a century and a half. Yet justly as we may, in some cases, distrust this copy of what was, perhaps, a true orig. it must [[581]] sometimes be received, when an earlier copy, viz. that quarto vol. in parchment, wh. has also copies of the b. d. and m. in most of the neighb. towns of Middlesex and Norfolk, as well as Boston, prior to 1666, should be disregard. for from that we should find not one of these four, thus carelessly insert. in the later; but he certain. had six if not seven ch. as from his will of 27 Sept. 1684, is to be partly learned, partly infer. It makes w. Mary extrix. and provides for distrib. to ch. John, Samuel, Elizabeth w. of Caleb Rawlins, Abigail, w. of Abraham Adams, Hannah, w. of Nathaniel Adams, and the youngest, Ann, at home, beside gr.ch. John and Elizabeth Alger, whereby it would be conclud. that ano. d. had been w. of that Andrew Alger, k. by the Ind. at Scarborough in Oct. 1675. RALPH, Charlestown 1640, by his master's consent had been set free, on his petition to the Gen. Ct. 7 Oct. 1640, as is seen in the rec. I. 306, and no more is kn. of him. THOMAS, Braintree, one of the petitnrs. for gr. of a planta. on lds. of Pumham, 1645, that the Ind. chief had sold to Gorton and his fellow believers, wh. our rulers for their misbelief, had confiscat. to prob. the same man, wh. at Rehoboth, m. 7 June 1674, Mary Robinson, liv. there 27 June 1678, a former w. hav. d. in Feb. 1677, m. Rachel Read, having his name ending with h, and, no doubt, in later days it has been expand. to Wilmarth, as Baylies II. 200 found this first sett. in 1645. He was then mark. sen. leav. it certain that a jun. was there, and such jun. was adm. 1673, as townsman, and there had Thomas, b. 7 July 1675; Elizabeth 1 Sept. 1676; Mary, 29 Dec. 1678; Mehitable, 4 Mar. 1681; and Ann, 22 Aug. perhaps 1683. WILLIAM, New Haven, br. of the sec. Benjamin, b. prob. in Eng. sw. fidel. May 1654, m. 14 Oct. 1658, Sarah, d. of John Thomas of the same, had Benjamin, b. 7 Mar. 1661; Sarah, 8 Mar. 1663, wh. m. 27 Nov. 1677, Thomas Hotchkiss; William, 17 Oct. 1665; John, 20 Jan. 1668; Ann, 26 Feb. 1670; Alexander, 13 Dec. 1672; Tabitha, 12 Nov. 1675; Mary, 7 Jan. 1677; Thomas, 21 Sept. 1679; and Elizabeth 24 Mar. 1682; and he d. 1689, aged 57. His inv. of 5 Nov. shows confortab. est. WILSHIRE, THOMAS, Boston 1652. WILSON, ANDREW, Boston, by w. Bethia, wh. join. Mather's ch. 26 Jan. 1690, and same day had three ch. bapt. whose names are not seen in the rec. beside David, 27 Dec. 1691; and Mercy, 18 Feb. 1694; and perhaps more. ANDREW, Cambridge, youngest ch. of Robert of the same, by w. Hannah had Andrew, b. 12 May 1696; Hannah, 10 Aug. 1698; Deborah, 12 Oct. 1700; John, 28 Jan. 1703; Mary, 11 Mar. 1707; Damaris, 1 Nov. 1708, d. soon; Damaris, again, 25 Aug. 1710; and he d. 1722. ANTHONY, Fairfield 1643, m. Rachel, wid. of John Brandish, had Sarah; and next, m. Sarah, wid. of Thomas [[582]] Bulkley, d. of Rev. John Jones, and d. early in 1662, leav. good est. to his only ch. Sarah, beside £60. to his br. Samuel, and legacies to two other brs. Thomas, and John, to brs. William, and Ignatius Hill, and mo. Hill, and sis. Ann, but whether she was Wilson or Hill is uncert. and to four cousins, meaning nephews. Thomas Wilson. Peter Clapham, Edward Wilson, and Samuel, the last of wh. liv. with him. BENJAMIN, Taunton 1643, wh. was there among first sett. in 1638, as Baylies thinks I. 289. BENJAMIN, Charlestown, by w. Ann had Ann, b. 1 July 1655; Benjamin, 6 Oct. 1657; soon aft. as we must suppose, both mo. and ch. d. for Benjamin and Elizabeth are next seen on the rec. as hav. Benjamin, 4 June 1659, unless the name of w. is here perversely changed, as seems very prob. Some aid is furnish. by ch. rec. wh. certif. to us that Benjamin was bapt. 1 May 1664, but how old is not ment. and Jeremiah, 22 Oct. 1665. He was a mariner, d. "at sea lately," says the County rec. when admin. was giv. 17 Dec. 1667, to his wid. Ann. BENJAMIN, Roxbury, s. of nathaniel of the same, had three ws. as Jackson tells. By first, Sarah, had Benjamin, b. 6 Oct. 1678; rem. to Newton, there had, says Barry, John, 17 Apr. 1688. His w. d. 15 Apr. 1689; and by sec. w. Grace, had, if Jackson be correct, John; Benjamin; Joseph; Sarah; Mary; and William, 14 Oct. 1697. His third w. Esther perhaps surv. him, and his est. was admin. 1705. * DANIEL, Northampton, rep. 1665. EDWARD of Boston or Roxbury, a miller, prob. unm. d. 1638, as one might be justified by the will to inf. See. Geneal. Reg. VII. 30, where we may not be sure, that 19 Apr. was the date of mak. rather than of pro. It made his br. Thomas excor. gave him half his prop. and half to br. William but if W. do not come over to N. E. then the whole to Thomas. By Col. Rec. I. 235, it seems that Thomas present. to the Gen. Ct. on 4 Sept. foll. inv. of L48. 2s. EDWARD, Charlestown, join. the ch. 29 July 1660, m. 6 Nov. 1656, Mary, d. of deac.

HENRY, Dedham 1639, freem. 2 June 1641, m. 24 Nov. 1642, Mary, d. of Michael Metcalf the first, had Michael, b. 7 Aug. 1644; Mary, bapt. 21 Nov. 1652; Sarah, 22 Jan. 1654; Ephraim, June 1656. HUMPHREY, Exeter 1645, s. of Thomas, m. Dec. 1663, Judith, d. of William Hersey of Hingham. ISAAC, Newton, s. of the first Nathaniel m.

JACOB, Braintree, freem. 2 June 1641, had Isaac, b. 28 Jan. of that yr.; and Sarah, 28 Jan. 1642. JAMES, Woburn, by w. Deborah had a d. in 1688 whose name is not giv. prob. d. soon; Deborah, 27 Feb. 1690; and Abigail, 8 Feb. 1692. Perhaps he rem. JEREMIAH, New Shoreham, or Block Isl. s. of Samuel of Portsmouth, R. I. by w. Mary had Elizabeth; Mary; Samuel; Jeremiah; John; Sarah; James; Mary; George; Alice; Ann; and Judith; and d. 1740. JOHN, Boston 1630, b. at Windsor where his f. Rev. William, of wh. he was third s. had a prebendal stall, in 1588, from Eton sch. went to the univ. of Cambridge in 1602, as Mather tells, much of whose story of his early days has apocryphal sound, there of Christ's Coll. had his A. B. 1605-6, and A. M. 1609, as by me in the registry of the Univ. seen, tho. Mather would have it Emanuel; and Farmer writes at King's, where, indeed, may, as the Magnalia tells, have been the adm. Aft. serv. as chaplain in sev. houses, he was induct. at Sudbury in the S. border of Co. Suffolk; there contin. ten or twelve yrs. but disgust. with the worhsip of forms and vestments growing in the ch. he encourag. the coloniz. of the Mass. Bay, and came 1630, with the Gov. and Comp. bring. the chart. in the Arbella. His w. Elizabeth whose name is not distinct. read in Mather, tho. in his usual roundabout way he says, Magn. III. cap. 3, p. 42, that W. designed to m. a d. "of the lady Mansfield, wid. of Sir John," remain. in Eng. prob. with care of the ch. Edmund first b. (so nam. for his gr. uncle Edmund Grindall, the puritan archbishop of Canterbury 1575-83); John; and others, if there wre more; but when he went back to Eng. and came again 1632, he brot. her and s. John, but the oldest s. perhaps never was on this side of the ocean. The w. was sis. of the w. of Robert Keayne, and her br. John with his fam. got over to Boston, two yrs. later, in poverty; and torment Keayne very much, if his will be good evid. as may, partly, be read in Geneal. Reg. VI. 156. He made sec. voyage to Eng. 1634, and came again in the summer, of 1635, wh. led me to mistake, formerly, the time of his w.'s coming, as she did not join our ch. bef. 20 Mar. 1636; whereas we see. that this d. Mary was bapt. 8 Sept. 1633, unless the ch. rec. means a week later, the copy of town rec. certif. that she was b. 12 Sept. He [[584]] had request. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was sw. 3 July 1632, and d. 7 Aug. 1667, and was bur. on the Sunday foll. Of the good desert of the first min. of Boston, abund. proof if found in the Magn. III. cap. 3, with some few lamentab. characteristics of the author, perhaps little to be regard. in derog. from the charact. of W. Yet of one trait in him, the zeal for the glory of God, as exhib. in "Ill Newes from New Eng." where the testimony of Obadiah Holmes, the bapt. confessor, is fully giv. we must regret that it surpassed the limits of self-respect, as well as common decency. H. tells aft. his sentence to imprisonm. and cruel scourg. "as I went from the Bar, I exprest myself in these words; I bless God I am count. worthy to suffer for the name of Jesus; whereupon John Wilson (their Pastor as they call him) strook me bef. the judgm.-seat. and cursed me, saying, the curse of God or Jesus go with thee." For the imprecation upon the heretic lenity may be extend. as we hope, by the final Judge, when he cometh in the clouds of heaven: but at the tribunal of gentlement the assault on a defenceless prisoner, even tho. convict. by his own confess. of the crime of preach. what he thot. truth, meets no indulgence. Graditude has always been express, for the found. of Boston ch. no doubt in some degr. arising from the munific. contrib. of £1,000. by his br. William in Eng. and the most judicious invest. of part of that sum. as in Col. Rec. I. 128 alluded to, and may by any minute antiquary be seen in 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 228, all assist. in keep. active the generous emotion. The eldest s. travel. in Holland and Italy, where he gain. the honor of M. D. but as I doubt whether he ever came across the sea. I do not inquire for much detail as to his m. or wh. was his w. nor can I tell more than that he liv. at London as a physician, d. a. 1658, leav. s John, and d. Bridget, wh. m. Nicholas Prideaux, merch. of Barbadoes. His d. Mary m. 5 Nov. 1651, Rev. Samuel Danforth of Roxbury, and next a Buck of Boston (whose bapt. name eludes my search, for many hours, at var. times), and d. 13 Sept. 1713. Mather's life is, perhaps, the best of any in his catal, of min. yet the caution to be used in read, all other parts of the Magn. must not be neglect. here. In 19 of that 3d chap. in proof of the "certain prophetic afflatus, wh. oft. directs the speeches of" men like Wilson, he refers to the success fo john Hull, as foretold by W. bec. of his attention to his mother "weak in body and poor in est." Mather had no intent. of casting ridicule uppon prophecy, for he was giv. to showing his ability in the same way, but his fancy, was usual, outran his judgement; and his memory, great as it was, forever calls on invention to come to the aid of truth. Hull's mo. Elizabeth wh. d. above 16 yrs. bef. M. was b. is not to be specially mark. as "poor in est." and if the writer meant Judith the sec. w. of his f. and mo. of the young man's w. (as is [[585]] most prob.) the panegyric is even less neccessa.; but indeed this sec. w. d. nine yrs. bef. the b. of the historian. More or less accomodat. of fact to theory is observ. in other authors than him whose Magnalia is the monum. to delineate his character no less than his desire, tho. prob. to few it is ascribe. in equal extent. JOHN, Medfield, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. Sept. 1621, H. C. 1642, had the benefit of join. the ch. of his f. 3 Mar. 1644, but was not freem. until 1647, ord. as collea. with Rev. Richard Mather at Dorchester in 1649, but contin. only two yrs. and was then sett. at M. by w. Sarah had John, bapt. at Boston, 8 July 1648; Thomas,b. 12 Nov. 1652; Elizabeth 1653; Increase, 1656; John, again, 1660; and Thomas, again, 2 Mar. 1662, or, as Barry says, 18 Nov. of that yr.; beside Susanna, Dec. 1664, wh. m. 1683, Rev. Grindal Rawson of Mendon; and d. 23 Aug. 1691. JOHN, Woburn, had Samuel, b. 29 Dec. 1658; Abigail, 8 Aug. 1666; Elizabeth 6 Aug. 1668; Benjamin, 15 Oct. 1670; and Hannah, 31 May 1672, wh. d. soon; John, 3 Jan. 1673; Hannah, again, 28 Dec. 1674, d. soon; Hannah, again, 11 Mar. 1677; and Susanna, 11 Mar. 1679. He may be the man wh. Barry says came 1651, in the John and Sarah from London. In so common a name to discern whose s. was that JOHN, the solider in Beers's comp. k. by the Ind. with his capt. 4 Sept. 1675, must be very diffic.; and he d. 2 July 1687. JOHN, Dover, there tax. 1666, as was found by the dilig. of Rev. John of Mefield, m. 4 July 1683, Sarah, of the same, propound. for freem. 1675, m. Lydia, d. of John Cole, had John; Stebbing; Hannah; and Mary; and he d. 16 Jan. 1698. JOHN, New Haven, prob. s. of Rev. John of Medfield, m. 4 July 1683, Sarah, d. prob. of Rev. Roger Newton of Milford, had Sarah, b. 1 Apr. 1684; and no more is there kn. of him. He was not a propr. 1685; but was liv. at Medfield, there had John, b. May 1686; Elizabeth Oct. 1689; and Roger, 1691, JOHN, Billerica, freem. 1690, may have had fam. for in the Court's list he is mark. sen. JOSEPH, Dorchester, freem. 2 May 1638, was perhaps, br. of Benjamin, as he is found with him among earliest sett. at Taunton, in Baylies I. 286, and Mr. Clap has not included either of the names at D. But whether either had fam. I see not. JOSEPH, Lynn, m. 2 May 1670, Dorcas Randall, had Jacob, b. 3 Sept. 1671; and he may have rem. JOSEPH, Andover, s. of William of Boston, m. 4 July 1670, Mary Lovejoy, prob. d. of John of the same, had Mary, wh. d. 31 Mar. 1674, and his w. d 18 June 1677. He next m. 24 Apr. 1678, Sarah Lord, and d. 1718. His w. Sarah suffer. long imprison. on charge of witchcr. 1692, and sav. her life by confession. JOSEPH, Malden, had Joseph, b. 27 Sept. 1673, was freem. 1685, and allow. to be ensign the same yr. but so early as Dec. 1674, had been call. to take o. of fidel. as a soldier, bec. capt. and d. or was bur. 14 Jan. [[586]] 1705, aged 58. JOSEPH, Newton, s. of Nathaniel of the same, by w. Deliverance had Hannah, b. 10 June 1685; Deliverance, 11 Oct. 1687; Margaret, 27 Feb. 1689; Sarah; Thankful, 24 Mar. 1692; Mary, 24 Jan. 1694; Experience, 10 Nov. 1696; Abigail; Elizabeth 30 May 1703; and Josiah, 31 Oct. 1704. JOSEPH, Andover, perhaps s. of Joseph of the same, m. 25 Jan. 1700, Mary Richardson. LAMBERT, Salem,, the surg. sent over 1629, by the Gov. and Comp. in London. See their letter of instruct. to capt. Endicott, in Col. Rec. I. 396, by the hands of Higginson, wherein they inform. the people here that the bargain was for his service three yrs. but my doubt is strong. whether he contin. half the time. MATTHEW, New Haven 1642, of wh. no more is learn. MICHAEL, Wrentham, perhaps s. of Henry of Dedham, by w. Mary had Sarah, b. 18 Feb. 1676; Mary, 16 Feb. 1678; Michael, 6 Feb. 1682; Silence, 16 Feb. 1684; Noah, 4 Sept. 1686; and Henry, 9 Apr. 1690. NATHANIEL, Roxbury, whose f. is never ment. and perhaps he never came to our side of the ocean, m. 2 Apr. 1645, Hannah, d. of Griffin Crafts, had Hannah, bapt. 2 May 1647; Ellis gives, 135, Hannah and Mary, tw. 1647, yet perhaps this is mistake of the name of the month for that of a ch.; Susanna; Nathaniel, b. 30 Apr. bapt. 8 May 1653; Joseph and Benjamin, tw. 31 Jan. bapt. 17 Feb. 1656; Isaac, 24, bapt. 29 Aug. 1658; Mary, 22 bapt. 23 June 1661; Abigail, 1663; Samuel; and ano. d. perhaps Rebecca; and d. 17 Sept. 1692, aged 70, says Jackson, wh. marks his rem. to Newton, then call. Cambridge vill. and was freem. 1690, unless his s. of the same name be there meant. His w. d. one mo. bef. him. Hannah m. 7 Feb. 1669, Shubael Seaver, as Roxbury rec. says; Susanna m. 31 Dec. 1673, Thomas Gill; Mary m. 19 Apr. 1682, Thomas Oliver as his sec. w.; and Abigail m. 1687, deac. Edward Jackson, as his sec. w.; and Jackson says Rebecca m. Shubael Seaver, and if that be correct, she was his sec. w.

His inv. 6 June next, shows L4,102.

RICHARD, Boston 1639, a youth who stole money from his master, and was set to serv. for some yrs. to a new master, but abus. him, so as to be sentenc. to be whip. in 1641, may not reason. seem the same as the [[588]] foll. but may be he of Duxbury, able to bear arms 1643, of wh. no more is heard. RICHARD, Boston, m. 7 Apr. 1654, Sarah Hurst, perhaps d. of one wh. d. the yr. preced. made his will of 19 Aug. 1654, of wh. William Kilcup was one of the overseers, and gave every thing to his wid. and the amt. was worth having, tho. not large. See Geneal. Reg. V. 305, and VIII. 277. ROBERT, Windsor, an early sett. tho. not among the first, m. Elizabeth d. of deac. Edward Stebbins, had John, rem. to Farmington, and had Samuel, b. 1653; perhaps no other ch. and d. at F. 21 July 1655. His wid. m. 1658, Thomas Cadwell. An Isabel W. m. 4 June 1645 or 6, the sec.

Lothrop's comp. call. "the flower of Essex," cut off 18 Sept. 1675 at Deerfield. SAMUEL, New Haven, sw. fidel. 1644, rem. a. 1649, and possib. may be the SAMUEL of Fairfield 1654, whose d. Mary, by w. Jane is ment. on Boston rec. of deaths sub. an. 1654 for wh. various conject. may furnish explanat. The ch. may have been sev. yrs. old. or but few days. Yet ano. SAMUEL of Fairfield m. Phebe, d. of Joseph Middlebrook, under a contr. 1679, and was liv. there 1686, when her f's. est. was to be distrib. Still we kn. not eno. to authorize infer. that he was or was not the same as the preced. SAMUEL, Portsmouth, R. I is among freem. 1655, was in 1657 one of the gr. Petaquomscot purch. with John Hull and others, and perhaps of Wickford 1674, m.

SAMUEL, Windsor, s. of Robert of the same, m. May 1672, Mary, d. of John Griffin, had Elizabeth or Isabel, b. 24 Feb. 1674, to wh. the damnable name of Jezabel is ascrib. by the queer blunder of Geneal. Reg.

Ano. SAMUEL, perhaps that freem. of 1684, earlier by one yr. than Joseph of Malden, may have been his br. and prob. the lieut. of 1690. SAMUEL, Newton, s. of Nathaniel first, m. Experience, d. of the first James Trowbridge, had Experience, b. 21 Sept. 1697, d. young; Margaret, 28 Aug. 1699; Samuel, 18 Mar. 1701; Thomas, 8 May 1703; and Experience, again, 2 Aug. 1705. SHOREBORN, Ipswich, s. of William of the same, a cooper, m. 9 Sept. 1657, Abigail Osgood, d. perhaps of Christopher of the same, had Joseph, b. 1 June 1660; Mary, 24 Aug. 1662, d. very soon; Samuel, 4 Apr. 1664, d. in few wks.; John, 4 May 1665; Abigail, 10 Mar. 1667; William, 14 May 1672; Deborah, 22 Sept. 1673; Christopher, June 1677, d. soon; and Christopher, again, 13 Dec. 1679 THEOPHILUS, Ipswich 1636, had perhaps d. Seaborn, b. on his passage, freem. 13 Mar. 1639, was constable for long time, and prison-keep. had w. Elizabeth in 1654, wh. d. 10 Jan. 1681; but she may not have been mo. of all, or even any of the ch. He d. 29 July 1689, aged 88, leav. S. Thomas, s.-in-law John Pindar, and David Fiske, and gr.ch. Elizabeth Lovell, Elizabeth Russell, and Thomas Pindar. THOMAS, Roxbury, came in June 1633, with w. Ann, and ch. Humphrey; Samuel; Joshua; there had Deborah, b. Aug. 1634; Lydia, Nov. 1636; was made freem. 14 May 1634; lost his ho. and goods by fire, as from the ch. rec. is seen, was delud. into the heresy of Wheelwright, with wh. on his banishm. he went to Exeter, came back and made peace with the ch. but contin. to reside at Exeter, there made his will, 9 Jan. 1643, in wh. w. and the five ch. are provid. for, as in Geneal. Reg. II. 384 is found. His wid. m. next yr. John Legat. See Col. Rec. II. 58. THOMAS, Ipswich, perhaps s. of Theophilus, had Mary, b. 27 Dec. 1657; and may also have had Hannah, wh. d. June 1682; but w.'s name is not heard. THOMAS, Fairfield, accept. to be made free 1664, was br. or neph. of Anthony of the same, had good est. and d. 1691, leav. wid. Hannah, no s. one d. whose name is not seen. THOMAS, Mildford, had b. there Benjamin in 1673, and soon rem. THOMAS, Brookfield 1667-72, may not be the same as the preced. but no more is kn. of him. WILLIAM, Boston, a joiner, with w. Patience, was adm. of our ch. 6 Sept. 1635, had, as is seen in the rec. of Geneal. Reg. III. 40, Shoreborn, b. 6 Aug. preced. and brot. to bapt. 13 Sept. foll. but if this name imply that a ch. of the fam. had bef. been nam. Seaborn, as Bond suppos. I doubt, for the incident might as well be tak. for evid. that Theophilus was br. of William, since it is said that David Fiske, wh. is call. s.-in-law opf Theophilus, had m. Seaborn Wilson. Also he had Mary, 11, bapt. 21 Jan. 1638; John, Jan. bapt. 9 Feb. 1640; Joseph, 10, bapt. 12 Nov. 1643, "a. five days old;" Newgrace, bapt. 23 Mar. 1645, "a. four days old," d. in Aug. foll. He [[590]] was freem. 25 May 1636, dept.-marshall, and prison-keep. 1642, d. 1646 and the Gen. Ct. wsas hardly able to persuade his wid. that she must not always liv. at the pub. build. WILLIAM, Lynn, m. 26 Oct. 1663, Priscilla, perhaps d. of Oliver Purchase, had William, b. 28 Aug. 1664; Priscilla, 28 Mar. 1666; Oliver, 9 Feb. 1668; and Sarah, 5 June 1670; and his w. d. 21 Oct. 1671, unless the d. ment. on the rec. be of his ch. instead of his w. Of this name Farmer found forty-five had been gr. 1829 at N. J. and N. E. coll. of wh. I find ten at Harv. two at Dart. and one at Yale. WILTERTOWN, WOLTERTON, or WINTERTON, GREGORY, Hartford, among orig. proprs. 1637, of wh. I can learn nothing but that he had good est. large tanworks, and no ch. m. perhaps as sec. w. a. 1663, Bennet, wid.of Thomas Stanley, wh. d. early in 1665, and he had ano. w.

WILTON, * DAVID, Dorchester 1632, freem. 11 June 1633, rem. with the gr. migrat. to Windsor 1635 or 6, was rep. 1646, 7, 50-4, 6, rem. 1660 to Northampton, and was one of the pillars at the foundat. of the ch. 18 June next yr. and rep. to Boston 1665, ens. 1662, in 1663 was lieut. and serv. in Philip's war, d. at Windsor, on a visit, 5 Feb. 1678. His only ch. Mary m. 6 May 1652, that brave capt. Samuel Marshall, wh. fell in the gr. Narraganset fight, 19 Dec. 1675, and her f. in his will gave est. to her and her childr. with his wid. Catharine, wh. m. 6 May 1679, Thomas Hosmer. NICOHOLAS, Windsor, br. of the preced. m. 20 Nov. 1656, Mary Staniford, had David, b. 13 Jan. 1661; and John, 8 Aug. 1664; of neither of wh. is any thing kn. He and his w. d. 4 Aug. 1683. WINBOURNE, or WENBORN, JOHN, Manchaster, a preacher 1686 and earlier, but was gone in 1689. He had m. 11 Apr. 1667, Elizabeth Hart at Malden, but prob. did not reside there; nor is it kn. where or whence he came, or whither he went. Possib. he was s. of William Wenbourne of Boston. See that. WINCH, JOHN, Framingham, s. of Samuel, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 21 Dec. 1706; John, 10 July 1710; David, 9 Dec. 1714; Jonathan, 3 July 1716; Deborah, 27 Dec. 1717; and d. 19 Jan. 1719. SAMUEL, Framingham, had been of Sudbury 1671, m. 11 Feb. 1674, Hannah, d. of Matthew Gibbs of Sudbury, had John, b. 1675, d. young; Samuel, 27 Mar. 1677; John, again, 8 Jan. 1680; David, 15 Mar. 1684; Hannah, 16 Jan. 1688; Silence, 10 Nov. 1690; and by sec. w. m. 12 [[591]] Jan. 1699, Sarah, wid. of Benjamin Barnard of Watertown, had Mary, 23 Nov. 1700; and Daniel, 28 June 1702; and d. or was bur. 3 Aug. 1718. Of the orig. of this fam. no acco. is to be found. A maid of 15 yrs. nam. Mary W. had come 1634, in the Francis, with Rowland Stebbins, from Ispwich in Co. Suffolk. WINCHCOMBE, JOHN, Boston 1670 or earlier, appoint. 1684 a sergeant to attend the Gov. with salary, by w. Mary had John, b. 22 July 1676, prob. d. young; Elizabeth 8 Sept. 1678; Charles, 19 Sept. 1679; and John, again, 3 Jan. 1682. WINCHELL, or WINSHALL, DAVID, Windsor, s. of Robert m. 18 Nov. 1669, Elizabeth d. of William Filley, had Joseph, b. 13 Sept. 1670; Christian, 9 Mar. 1673; Elizabeth 9 Dec. 1675; and ano. d. perhaps two ch. rem. to Suffield, and had David, 19 Mar. 1682; Mary, 8 Feb. 1685; Jedediah, 13 Mar. 1688, d. at 2 yrs.; Jedidiah, again, 29 Dec. 1690, d. young; and he d. 1723 or 4, leav. two s. and four ds. Perhaps the name of Elizabeth W. aged 52, a passeng. in the Rebecca, from London, Apr. 1635, with John, 13, prob. her s. may rather be Wincol. JONATHAN, Windsor, br. of the preced. m. 16 May 1666, Abigail, perhaps d. of Richard Brownson of Farmington, had Jonathan, b. Feb. 1667, if the copy of rec. in Geneal. Reg. V. 363, be trusted; Jonathan, 14 Feb. 1669; Benjamin, 28 June 1674; rem. to Suffield, and had Abigail, 8 June 1679, and perhaps other ch. bef. or aft. for no acco. of him further is giv. but that he was on freemen's list, 1669. NATHANIEL, Windsor, eldest br. of the preced. freem. 1657, m. 4 Apr. 1664, Sarah Porter, eldest d. of Thomas of Hartford, had Nathaniel, b. 5 Aug. 1665; Thomas, 25 May 1669; Sarah, 26 Dec. 1674; Stephen, 18 Aug. 1677; John, 1680; and Mary, 1683; and he d. 8 Mar. 1700. ROBERT, Dorchester, but how early is not kn. nor how he came, but prob. with w. and perhaps one ch. was there 1635, and carr. two s. Nathaniel and Jonathan, to Windsor a. 1638, there had Phebe, bapt. 24 Mar. 1639, d. at 23 yrs.; Mary, 5 Sept. 1641; David, 22 Oct. 1643; Joseph, 5 Apr. 1646, wh. d. bef. his f.; Martha, 18 June 1648, d. in 7 yrs; and Benjamin, 11 July 1652, d. at 4 yrs. His w. whose name is not heard, d. 10 July 1655, and he d. 21 Jan. 1668. In his will of that mo. s. Nathaniel, Jonathan, and David are nam. and Mary refer. to as hav. had her portion. WINCHESTER, * ALEXANDER, Braintree, came over in the train of Henry Vane in the Defence, arr. 3 Oct. 1635, was rec. mem. of Boston ch. 8 Nov. foll. and made freem. 7 Dec. 1636; had Mary, bapt. 19 Nov. 1637; liv. at Braintree aft. that, was rep. 1641, and clk. of the writs, but rem. to Rehoboth, where he was one of the first combinat. 1644, as in Baylies II. 198, is seen, was selectman 1647, d. 16 July in that yr. [[592]] It appears id. 208, that he left childr. but their names are not found, exc. Elizabeth b. 28 Mar. 1640; and Hannah, 10 Dec. 1642, both at Braintree; and Lydia at Rehoboth, beside the first ment. Boston ch. so that as his will names no s. we may believe that he never had one. JOHN, Hingham 1636, came in the Elizabeth the yr. bef. at the age of 19, with Clement Bates, and therefore may be suppos. from Co. Herts, was freem. 9 Mar. 1637, m. 15 Oct. 1638, Hannah, d. of deac. Richard Sealis of Scituate, had Mary, bapt. 1640; John; Josiah, b. 27 Mar. bapt. 20 May 1655; and Jonathan, says Farmer, wh. notes in MS. that this last d. of smallpox at Roxbury 1679, refer. to ch,. rec. for his authority; and soon aft. 1650 rem. to the Muddy riv. part of Boston, d. 25 Apr. 1694, and in his will of 1691 gave his est. to the s. John and Josiah, wh. contin. to live upon the same. He had, in the great milit. quarrel of 1645, fallen under fine for the trouble, wh. he and his neighb. caused, wh. was next yr. remit. on acco. of his poverty as in Col. Rec. III. 80, is read. * JOHN, Brookline, s. of the preced. by two ws. Hannah, and Joanna, had six s. and four ds. fo wh. Jackson gives the name of Stephen only, b. Feb. 1686, was the first rep. of the town, and d. 1718. In the copious Hist. of Newton may be read valuab. acco. of descend. of Stephen. WINCOL, WINCALL, or WINKLE, HUMPHREY, Cambridge 1634, was perhaps, from little Waldingfield in Co. Sufflk. JOHN, Salem, 1631. Felt. * JOHN, Watertown, s. of Thomas of the same, perhaps a passeng. aged 13, in the Rebecca from London, 1635, with Elizabeth 52, wh. may have been his mo tho. more prob. his aunt, is by Bond mark. as a propr. 1637, freem. 1646, rem. soon aft. to Kittery, where with many others he submit. 1652 to jurisdict. of Mass. and for wh. he was rep. at Boston 1653, 4, and 5, in the sec. yr. titled lieut. yet the yr. aft. call. at W. serg. and in 1658 rep. for W. in 1665 was of loyalty suffic. to be made a justice by the royal commissnrs. as of Newichawanock, that includ. perhaps both sides of the riv. tho. his resid. was in Berwick, and faithful to Mass. was rep. for K. again 1675, 7, and 8, and from 1676-85 in the commissn. under either or both Stoughton and Danforth, as Pres. to serve in the counc. clk. and reg. yet seeming most to rejoice in the style of capt. and w. Elizabeth and d. 22 Oct. 1694, as we may be sure, by fall. from his horse, and also from the ment. in Sewall's Diary of the appoint. of Hammond to succeed him in Dec. of that yr. ROBERT, Mass. but of what town can hardly be judg. as all that is kn. of him is adm. as freem. 6 May 1635. THOMAS, by Farmer mark. of Salem 1631, may be the man fin. for drunk. 4 Mar. 1633. THOMAS, Watertown, a propr. in 1642, is therefore suppos. by Bond to have come over aft. his s. John, and to hav brot. w. Beatrice, wh. d 1 June 1655, and he d. 10 June [[593]] 1657, well advanc. in in yrs. Bond says he was allow. 1649 to keep an inn. WINDALL, THOMAS, Ipswich 1643, Felt -- is the total of Farmer's MS. note; but little more worth having is to be seen under Wendall. WINDIAT, JOHN, DOVER, sen. and jun. are introd. on the authority of Farmer in MS. note, from rec. of Ct. of Quarter sess. in 1686; and without daring to propose a substitute, I suggest that the name may have been mistak. for aft. sev. hours' search, I am unable to discov. it in any quarter. But aft. a week's despair unexpected. I find solution of Farmer's puzzle. Such is the spelling in the Prob. Rec. X. 264, of the will of 12 Mar. 1684, with codic. 1 Dec. 1687, pro. 23 Mar. foll. bef. Walter Barefoot, whereof the excors. refus. admin. was giv. to the wid. 5 Apr. next, by Sir Edmund Andros, and I kn. from Infallib. marks that the testator was WINGATE, first ancest. of a much disting. fam. WINDOW, RICHARD, Gloucester 1648, selectman in 1654, had d. Ann by w. Elinor, wh. d. 16 May 1658, and he m. 30 Mar. 1659, Bridget, wid. of Henry Travers, made his will 2 May 1665, and d. 5 June foll. and in Col. Rec. IV. pt. 2, p. 304, the wid. and her s. obtain. relief, so far at least, as to be told by the Gen. Ct. that Essex Ct. might act. In his will are ment. d. Ann, Elizabeth Bennet, call. d.-in-law, and Sarah Davis. His wid. wh. had childr. by former h. d. Oct. 1673; but the settlem. of her est. next mo. leaves me in doubt, as did his ,as to some relationships of either. WINDS, WENDES, WINES, or WYNES, * BARNABAS, or BARNABY, Watertown, freem. 6 May 1635, sold his lds. in 1642 and 4, and rem. to Southold, L. I. the Conn. jurisdict. adm. him as freem. 1662, and Barnabas, jun. prob. his s. in 1664 to the same privilege; but nothing more is kn. of his fam. In the mutations of this name, from variety of sound prob. it will be seen to have the increm. into Winders; but my evid. can reach only to Barnabas the first, wh. was rep. 1664. FAINTNOT, Charlestown 1635, was adm. of the ch. 4 Nov. 1643, as few mos. later was Bridget, prob. his w. freem. 29 Mary 1644, of wh. no ch. is ment. nor can any more be learn. but that he d. 25 Feb. 1665. WING, ANANIAS, Sandwich, s. of the sec. John, by w. Hannah had nine ch. whose names I have not seen, and he d. 3 Aug. 1718. His wid. d. 9 Dec. 1730. DANIEL, Sandwich 1643, s. of John, b. in Eng. m. 5 Nov. 1642, Ann or Hannah, d. of the first William Swift, had eleven ch. Samuel and John, nam. in the will, 12 Oct. 1662, of Swift's wid. beside ds. of who. was prob. Deborah, b. 10 Oct. 1648, and d. in 1659. See Geneal. Reg. V. 387 with VI. 96. Besides Deboroah's exact date of b. I have gained those of the other ch. Hannah, 28 July 1642; Lydia, 23 May 1647; Ephraim, or Daniel, 1649; Samuel, 20 or 28 Aug. 1652; [[594]] Hepzibah, 7 Nov. 1654; John, 14 or 16 Nov. 1656; and Beulah, 16 Nov. 1658; beside Daniel, 28 Jan. 1664; and his w. d. 3 days aft. He favor. the Quakers, and not a few of his desend. adhere to them. DANIEL, Sandwich, s. of the preced. m. 1686, Deborah Dillingham, had Samuel, b. 12 Oct. 1690, and prob. others JOHN, Sandwich, had m. in Eng. Deborah, d. of Rev.

JOHN, Sandwich 1643, may have been of Yarmouth 1648, when Col.

Farmer says, was cast away at the Isle of Shoals in 1664, and gives such good authority as Coffin, for the relat. A mistake in geogr. of this sort, is not lightly to be imput. to the latter of these writers, and still less to the former; but it can hardly be doubt. that he should have writ. Barbadoes instead of Eng. for Bridgetown is the chief mart of that island, and no place of the name is found in Britain. It is almost equal to that of the writer in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 86, wh. would correct the descript. of the bark Bachelor from London, of thirity-five tons, giv. by Winthrop in his Hist. I. 173, to the bark in wh. Lion Gardiner came, 1635, when the Gov. as in his orig. MS. any one sees, calls her "a small Norsey bark," meaning a Norwegian built, as to me it seemed, while by the writer it is shown, that one of the patentees of Conn. wh. fitted out this bark dwelt at Nosely, Leicesterhshire, in the very centre of Eng. Whether the Bachelor could float in any of the rivulets of the est. of Nosely, that may be thot. not to be deeper than three of four inches, or in the head waters of the Avon, or the Welland, beside those of the Soar, and a dozen inferior, young tributaries of the Trent, springing in Leicestershire, that may be half as many feet in depth, was not perhaps seriously consid. by the author. No doubt they would serve for sailing to playthings of children. Farmer notes five of his name among gr. of Harv. and none at any other coll.

Moseley in the war against Philip, perhaps suffer. eno. to cause his d. 10 Jan. 1684, aged 28 as the gr.st. tells in Geneal. Reg. IV. 65, tho. monstrous perversion gives the name Winshad, and wait. for correct. until IX. 328. But this name as well as that of Wensley is oft. misrepresent. by Winslow; and the Malden rec. seem to me abundant in this mislead. Full as oft. may the wrong be prov. as the right, if the rec. faithful. copies (as I have the best testimony other than that of my own eyes), be turn. to in Geneal. Reg. X. 162, 4, 233, 4, 7, and 9, when seven times the occurence is seen, where right of three and wrong of four is by me fully believed. In the transcript. made for Geneal. Reg. VI. 335-8, wherein the scribe fell into mistake as to the name of every month in the whole list nearly, he found, I suppose, the handwriting of this name where it was earliest insert. "Mary Winslade, of John Winslad -- 27, 11, 59," utterly illegib. and therefore omit. it wholly. WINSLEY, See Wensley. WINSLOW, EDWARD, Plymouth, eldest s. of Edward, b. at Droitwich, Co. Worcester, 18, bapt. 20 Oct. 1594, as Belknap, Am. Biogr. II. 281, gives the yr. but an ancient bible, erron. said to have been brot. by him, has a list of the ch. of his f. in wh. all the dates of bapt. purport to be insert. makes it 1595, yet my suspicion of a slight error was raised when observ. that 20 Oct. was Sunday in the earlier yr. and Monday in the foll. Baylies, II. 17, holds to the former yr. and the careful [[599]] authority of Dr. Young in his notes on Chron. of the Pilgr. 46, counts the same, tho. 274 he adopts the later yr. on the faith of "extr. from the rec. of St. Peter's ch. in that place" as foll. 1595, Oct. 20, bapt. Edward, s. of Edward Winslow, b. the previous Friday, adding wh. was the 19th. Whose blunder this was, is immater. Friday bef. 20 Oct. 1595 was the 17th. But for the yr. it might seem more desirab. that should be mark. than the day, and perhaps, tho. not prob. it may be as the informant of Dr. Young gave it, mak. the m. of his parents Nov. 1594. On the first sight of this bible, pasted to its left hand cover is found the traditionary story of what is call. "Family Record," as in Gen. Rec. IV. 298, the mind instantly rejects the right to such honor, inasmuch as the whole rec. was evident. made at once, tho. entries for eleven yrs. 1595-1606, purport to be expressed; and secondly, the handwriting is manifestly of four generations later than the Govnr's. father (who only ought to have made such rec.) could have written it; and furthermore the age of the vol. (tho. early part of the old Test. is lost, and the latter part of the new) is apparent. to a practised eye, at least one hudnred and forty yrs. later than the first child's b. No great value attaches to such MS. and it has been, in more than three or four places, correct. by erasures and interlin. prob. from presum. transcripts of the Eng. parish rec. But modern tradit. gives a glorious myth to this bible, that may be really of the time of George I. tho. to me it seems more likely an imprint under George II. as if it were in the Mayflower, brot. by Edward in his first voyage, at least a century bef. the paper was made. He had fallen into comp. on a tour in Holland, a. 1617, with the band of puritans at Leyden, and was led to join them, there m. 16 May 1618, Elizabeth Barker, when the Dutch rec. calls him printer of London, came with her in the little vessel from Delfthaven over to Eng. for embark. in the Mayflower from Southampton, and she d. 24 Mar. aft. the land. at P. He had five in his fam. on reach. the shore, George Soule, Elias Story, and Ellen More, count. with hims. and w. but Story and More, as well as his w. d. in short season aft. the end of that fatal voyage. On 12 May foll. he m. Susanna, wid. of Willaim White, wh. had been his compan. in the ship, and wh. dec. only thirty-one days earlier than Winslow's w. This was the first. m. in N. E. as had in Dec. preced. been first the b. of her s. Peregrine, at Cape Cod, bef. reach. P. By the sec. w. he had, bef. the div. of cattle in 1627, Edward, and John, both d. young; Edward, again, b. 1629; and Elizabeth wh. m. Robert Brooks, and next, 22 July 1669, capt. George Curwin of Salem. For his high public spirit, wh. took him, in the serv. of his country, over to Eng. 1623, and four or five times more, besides the freq. excurs. that were req. of him to Kennebeck, and all the adj.

Bradford closes his Hist. with regret for his long abs. Seven yrs. later, Cromwell, the great projector of designs to overthrow the Spanish power in the West Indies, fitted out large naval and milit. forces under adm. Penn and gen. Venables, against Hispaniola; and (with his extraord. insight into human charact. almost equal to the skill with wh. he conceal. his own) as he had some ground for suspect. the loyalty of both, nam. three commiss. with control. authority, of wh. our Gov. W. was the head. He d. of fever, exasperat. prob. by the ill success of the expedit. 8 May 1654; and his wid. d. 1 Oct. 1680, at the N. E. home in Marshfield, where he had left her. EDWARD, Salisbury, the rep. at Gen. Ct. 7 Mar. 1644, as giv. in Col. Rec. II. 54, must have been Wensley. EDWARD, Boston, s. of the first John, by w. Sarah Hilton, perhaps d. of the first William, had John, b. 18 June 1661; Sarah, 10 Apr. 1663; and Mary, 30 Apr. 1665; and by w. Elizabeth sec. d. of the sec. Edward Hutchinson, had Edward, 1 Nov. 1669; Catharine, 2 June 1672; Elizabeth 22 Mar. 1674; and Ann, 7 Aug. bapt. 8 Dec. 1678; beside ano. d. whose name is not in the fam. tradit. found, 31 July 1675. He was a mariner, and d. early, for his will of 8 Nov. 1680, pro. 1 Feb. 1683, is in our Vol. VI. 418. It gives w. Elizabeth if she cont. wid. use of al his est. for life, but if she m. then one third only, and the other two thirds in equal portions to his ch. exc. that ea. of the two s. should have double shares. GILBERT, Plymouth, third br. of Gov. Edward, with wh. he came in the Mayflower, 1620, had lot in the div. of lds. 1624, but none in the 1627 div. of cattle, so that perhaps he went home bef. that act; tho. Dr. Young, Chron. of Pilgr. 275, thinks he went ot Portsmouth. But the indisputab. word of Bradford (in Hist. since discovered), 454, shows that he went to Eng. and there d. bef. 1650. ISAAC, Charlestown, s. of the first John, m. 14 Aug. 1666, Mary, youngest d. of secr. Increase Newell; and his w. was rec. of the ch. 23 Feb. 1668, had Parnel, b. 14 Nov. 1667, bapt. 1 Mar. foll.; and Isaac, 22, bapt. 24 July 1670, d. next mo. as did the f. wh. went in July to Jamaica. His will of 25 Aug. made three, pro. four days aft. provid. for w. ch. and the one unb. when he left home. * JOB, Freetown, s. of Kenelm, was rep. 1686, for the Col. of Plymouth, and in 1692, for Mass. under the chart. of William and Mary. At the break. out of the Ind. war, June 1675, his ho. at Swansey, wh. he had inhab. eight or nine [[601]] yrs. was burnt by the enemy. Job had James, b. 9 May 1687, and other childr. prob. bef. and aft. * JOHN, Plymouth, br. of the first Edward, said to have been b. Apr. 1597, on Saturday bef. his bapt. 18th, but I suspect an error of a day, came in the Fortune, 1623, m. a. 1627, Mary, d. of James Chilton. She had come in the Mayflower, and in her favor circulates the ridicul. tradit. that she was the first of Eng. parentage that leapt on Plymouth rock, but the worthless glory is equally well or ill claim. for John Alden, for neither of them is entitled to that merit. By her nine ch. at P. were count. of wh. the exact day or mo. of b. is not found in any one case, but approxim. to date is prob. as well as also to some line of succession; Susanna, wh. m.

For this, I have partly foll. Russell's Guide to P. 240; and from him we learn that the last ch. d. bef. m. He was rep. 1653 and two yrs. more.

For this I have only ref. to Dean's Hist. of Scituate; but perhaps he gives the name of Harris's d. wrong, and I am sure that he is mistak. in mak. the w. of Miles Standish ano. d. of Kenelm. His wid. d. 1679; and her will of 31 July 1676, pro. 24 July 1679, wh. may be seen in VI. 300, well provides for s. John, d. Sarah Middlecot, with her ch. William Payne, d.

Kenelm, a. 1630, as Miss Thomas teaches, but from Bradford's and Winthrop's contempo.

Thomas Bourne, had Elizabeth b. 1637; Jonathan, 1638; Margaret, 16 July 1640; Rebecca, 1642; Susanna, 1644; and Mary; yet Miss Thomas miscalls Hannah, 1644, wh. m. 1 Apr. 1664, William Crow; and next, John Sturtevant. He was rep. 1643 (not as Farmer in MS. had confer. the honor on his neph. Josiah in the next line aft. tell. of his b. a. 1629), beside 1645, 7, and sev. later yrs. certain, 59 and 60. Also he serv. as town clk. from 1646 to his d. 1 Dec. 1674; and his wid. d. 1683. Margaret m. 24 Dec. 1659, John Miller; Rebecca m. 6 Nov. 1661, John Thacher; and Mary m. 10 June 1670, John Tracy. In his will of 12 Apr. 1673, pro. 4 June 1675, four of the five ds. are refer. to, without any being nam. so that one was prob. d. tho. wh. may be uncert. for of gr.ch. that he had plenty of, Hannah Miller alone is designat. and she, perhaps, on acco. of her liv. with him. * JOSIAH, Marshfield, only s. of Gov.

He liv. at Harwich, set off from Y. 1694, where he d. 4 Nov. 1715. His gr.-st. may be seen in the E. part of what is now Dennis, ano. offshoot from Y. His w.

Of this name, in 1834, Farmer notes gr. nine at Harv. two at Yale, and four at other N. E. coll. WINSOR, or WINSOR, JOHN, Boston, of wh. no more is heard, but that by w. Mary he had Martha, b. 22 Aug. 1667, posthum. for his inv. [[604]] was tak. above six mos. bef. Prob. he had earlier Martha, as ment. in will of Thomas Emmos, 20 Jan. 1661, abstr. in Geneal. Reg.

JOSEPH, Sandwich 1643, had come from Lynn 1637, where, perhaps, Lewis call. him John, and, in Hist. of Duxbury, it is said that he sw. alleg. 1657. JOSHUA, Providence 1637, said by tradit. to be s. of Samuel, and was by Roger Williams, rec. with a doz. others, as first purchas. in equal sh. and the indistinct mem. of his descend. renders it prob. that he brot. a w. whose name is not heard, had Samuel, Sarah, Susanna, and Mary; but no date of b. m. or d of parents or ch. are found; but he was liv. 1655, on the list of freem.

He d. 1679, mak. his will 24 Apr. pro. 13 May of that yr. but no light is furnish. by it, exc. that wid. Rebecca was thot. worthy to have all his prop. for her life, and that equal div. not such as the law gave, should be made among the ch. aft. her d. but how many of the eleven were alive is unkn. for they have no names. SAMUEL, Providence, [[605]] s. of Joshua of the same, m. Mercy, youngest d. of Roger Williams, wid. of Resolved Waterman, had Samuel, Joshua, and Hannah, but no dates are giv. exc. by infer. for Samuel, wh. preach. says the tradit. from 1733 to his d. in Nov. 1758, "aged 81 yrs. lacking one day," so that it may be guess. that he was b. 1677.

WINSTON, or WENSTONE, JOHN, New Haven, had Elizabeth b. 11 Dec. 1649, bapt. aft. a yr. old, prob. 15 Dec.; Esther, 25 Jan. bapt. 15 Feb. 1652, prob. d young; Grace, 21 Apr. perhaps bapt. 30 of the same, certain. not as the wretched rec. says, 30 May of the same yr.; John, 21 Apr. 1657, as the careful town rec. has it, but whether the rec. of bapt. means anything in calling the name Christian, and giving a false date, bec. an impossib. one, for bapt. is to be left in uncertainty; Esther, again, 11 Nov. 1662, and bapt. bef. 25 Mar. foll. is all that John Davenport's rec. supplies, but by scrupulous Mr. Herrick, libr. of Y.

WINSWORTH, ROBERT, Boston, by w. Rebecca had John, b. 10 Feb. 1646; but nothing more is kn. of him. WINTER, CHRISTOPHER, Scituate, m. Jane Cooper, perhaps d. of John of the same, with some irreg. in publish. the banns, for wh. he was fin. 10s. and aft. was excommunic. but with protest against such treatm. by Vassal and Hatherly, so that we may feel assured there could be no moral obliquity; had Martha, wh. m. 1668, John Hewett, and Mary, wh. m. the same yr.

Such charges and the occasions. for them were too common in the early days of that Province. He seems to exhibit some spirit of independ. 4 July 1663, against royal commiss. and republican usurpers, as in Geneal. Reg. V. 264 may be read. But some other person than the early sett. of this name, must there be intend. for Willis in his noble Hist. of Portland, I. 26, shows that Winter d. 1645. His d. prob. only ch. m. aft d. of her f.

TIMOTHY, Braintree, of wh. nothing more definite was told by Farmer, or is heard by me, than that he was there early; still it may be worth insert. as affording me an opportun. for testif. that in his own copy F. had stricken out the name. WILLIAM, Lynn, perhaps the same as Witter. WINTERTON, THOMAS, Providence 1657. WINTHROP, ADAM, fifth s. of the first Gov. John, b. at Groton, Co.

Such may be the reasonab. construct. of an "Indenture between Gov. W. and his w. and s. Adam on one part, and Dunster and capt. Cook of Cambridge on the other, to stand seized of Governor's isl. in the harb. of Boston to the use of said [[607]] Adam and Elizabeth and the heirs, &c.&c." bear. date 1 Feb. 1642, in considerat. of a m. intend. between them. By her, I suppose, was b. Adam, 15, bapt. 31 Oct. 1647, H. C. 1668, the first of the fam. in our Coll. Catal. and he was the only ch. unless a vague report of a d. Mary be accept. If there were one, she prob. d. near the same time with her mo. Sept. 1648, and the Col. Rec. III. 292, calls him the only ch.

ADAM, Boston, only ch. of the preced. was freem. 1683, rep. in 1689-92, as he was one of Mather's ch. memb. the king, by adv. of M. nam. him of the Govr's. Council in the new chart, but the first popular elect. May 1693 left him out, as, also, one or two others of Mather's men; and he d. 3 Aug. 1700. Of the time of m. or b. of his ch. or bapt. of them, I have not heard, and this might seem strange, when the rec. shows that he and his w. Mary, d. of Col. Luttrell of Bristol, Eng. were rec. into the ch. 30 Apr. 1682. But the m. was in Eng. and there the childr. were b.

His name was deriv. from Sir John Deane, half br. of his mo. a d. of that Sir John Tindal wh. m. the wid. of William Deane, the f. of Sir John. Tho. he was early engag. with his uncle Downing in project of a new settlem. on the Nashua riv. below Lancaster, and lying on the Merrimack, that afterward was nam.

UPON THE SAID PLANTA." In pursuance of this design, wh. had first been project. by Gov. Cradock, and at the gen. meet. of the comp. in London, on 28 July preced. submit. "NOT TO CONTIN. THE GOVERNM. IN SUBORDIN. TO THE COMP. HERE, AS NOW IT IS," the vote of the whole body of the Corpo. on 29 Aug. aft. at London was adopt. On 20 Oct. Cradock and the other officers under the chart. resign. and "upon serious deliberat." in the nominat. of Winthrop, Saltonstall, Johnson, and Humfrey for Gov. "the said Mr. W. was, with a gen. vote and full cons. of this Ct. by erect. of hds. chos. to be Gov. for the ensuing yr. to begin on this present day," and the rec. goes on to furnish the sentence, "wh. was pleas. to accept thereof, and thereupon took the o. to that place appertain." At the same time were chos. dep-.gov. and eighteen Assist. See Mass. Col. Rec. I. 49-60. On p. 70 is the rec. of the LAST meet. of Assist. in Eng. when, as at all intermd. ones, Winthrop presid. and this was held on board the Arbella, 23 Mar. 1629-30, at Southhampton; but the same vol. in the very next sentence shows that the FIRST meet. or "Court of Assist. was holden 23 Aug. 1630 at Charlton," no doubt in the "great house;" and it is equal. clear that the same man is there act. as Gov. So precisely, in the next foll. forty sessions of Assist. of Gen. Ct. Winthrop sat, by annual choice, as Gov. until the elect. in 1634, of Thomas Dudley. He, of course, was the next Gov. of Mass. Col. aft. Cradock, wh. never came over; and, therefore, W. was the earliest Charter Gov. here. Very strange might seem the error of the Hist. of Boston, by Mr. Drake, so valuab. for its many marks of industry, p.94, in mak. the elect. of W. as Gov. on board the Arbella, at Charlestown, on Monday, 23 Aug. aft. arr. tho. Prince, the judic. annalist, had giv. caution to all readers ninety-eight yrs. bef. of the mistake of capt. Johnson in this very point. See Hale's ed. of Prince, 314. This error our Hist. of Boston would sanctify, without consider. first, that the Arbella was this day prob. half [[610]] way across the ocean on her return voyage; or, sec. that the election must, by chart. be made on the last Wednesday of Easter term, whereas this was almost the last Monday of Trinity; or, final. and especial. that this was not a court of elections at all, but a Court of Assist. the rec. being plain eno. It ought, however, in part, to excuse this blunder, to be noted, that this section of Mr. Drake's Hist. was issued in Jan. 1853, and the first vol. of Col. rec. (tho. accessib. bef. in MS. to everybody) came from the press in the latter part of the same yr. In 1630 there was no election, both people and govrnm. being upon the ocean, in the Arbella, and sev. other ships; the rec. call.

By interchange of office with Dudley and others, W. sometimes was chos. dep.-gov. and sometimes an Assist. yet always by distant corresp. seems to have been regard. as chief in direct. of Colon. affairs. Of any details of his serv. since his life is in the annals of the country, no need is felt of transcript, for on both sides of the ocean he is commonly regard. as the f. of New Eng.

She was a. three yrs. younger than her h. and had Stephen, bapt. 31 Mar. 1619; Adam, b. 7, bapt. 9 Apr. 1620; unless we may assume (wh. I dare not) the error of a yr. in the ch. reg. of Greton; Deane, 23 Mar. 1623; Nathaniel, 20 Feb. 1625, prob. d. young; Samuel, 26 Aug. 1627; Ann, 29 Apr. 1630, a few wks. aft. her f. left Eng. wh. he never saw, as she d. next autumn, on the voyage hither; William, at Boston, b. 14, bapt. 26 Aug. 1632; and Sarah, bapt. 29 June 1634; both prob. d. soon, as nothing is heard of them aft.

To close this article without giv. extr. from docum. found by me in a governm. office in London 1842, a print. in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 323, would be ungrateful. A letter of 19 Nov. 1632 to Sir John Cooke, princip. Secr. to his Maj. and one of the Privy Counc. from Thomas Wiggin, describes the condit. of Mass. wh. he had lately visit. and proceeds: "for the Gov. hims. I have obs. him to be discreet an sober man, giv. good examp. to all the. plant. wear. plain appar. such as may well beseem a mean man, drink. ordinar. water, and when he is not convers. a. matters of justice, putt. his hand to any ordina. labor with his serv. rul. with much. mildness, and in this partic.

On this side of the water he had very import. serv. in direct. as Gov. a new planta. for Lord Say and Seal, his puritan friend, and other gr. associates, at the mouth of Conn. riv. By the first w. no ch. is heard of, but the sec. had Elizabeth bapt. at Boston, 3 July 1636, tho. the copy of town rec (too oft. suppos. orig.) says she was b. 24 of the same; Fitz-John, b. 14 Mar. 1638, perhaps bapt. at Ipswich; Lucy, 28 Jan. bapt. 2 Feb. 1640; Waitstill, 27 Feb. bapt. 6 Mar. 1642; Mary, bapt. 15 Sept. 1644, a. nine days old; all at Boston. He went to found New London, 1645, and carr. his fam. next yr. had there Martha, b. 1646; Margaret; and Ann. Yet the people of Mass. chos. him constant. one of the Assist. thro. that yr. and three foll. and once or twice he took the o. for the office; but in 1647 had been commiss. to execute justice under Conn. jurisdict. tho. not adm. a freem. of that col. bef. 1650, and at the elect. in 1651, was chos. first of the Assist.

Harrison, when he thot. good to send that fellow laborer to prison, and direct. one of his subordinate places in Scotland to return Winthrop as a mem. of one of his pretended parliam. those skilful architects of ruin that did nothing but build up anarchy. But he d. bef. the restorat. effect. by Monk, in whose army he was then serv. and might have gain. favor under the crown. He had early m. at Boston, Judith, sis. of Col.

He was deeply engag. in the controv. raised by Andros's levy of a tax on all the towns of the col. and with his patriotic neighb. Col.

He was sent 1689 to Eng. to procure new chart. for the Col. and stood stoutly for its independ. but was overpow. by the name and influence of Mass. yet he [[616]] ascrib. not the disappoint. of just expecta. as a train. politician might have done, to any more cause than the rashness and imprudence of Mather, wh. had craftily alarm. the fear of Gov. Hinckley by suggest. of the peril that Plymouth jurisdict. might be annex. to New York. He d. 23 July 1700, and his wid. d. 3 June 1714, aged 71. Of his will, very judic. in bestowing, upon w. and five ch. the eldest d. w. of Elisha Wadsworth having been provid. for at m. Francis Jackson, Esq. in addit. to very many other favors, gave me a copy. JOHN, Dorchester, must have come in 1634 or earlier, as he was made deac. on the gather. in Aug. 1636 of the new ch. at D. for Richard Mather, when the larger part of the first mem. had gone to Conn. with Warham. He brot. w. Margaret, d. prob. of Thomas Smith of London. He was freem. 14 Mar. 1639, rep. 1646, and oft. aft. selectman in 1648 and bef. and aft. went to Eng. (Mr. Clapp in Hist. of D. says) 1652, and in few yrs. aft. his coming again, rem. to Boston, was an ironmonger, and gen. trader, made rul. elder at the first ch. and d. 16 Aug. 1687, aged 85 or 6 yrs. From the numb. and dates of many of his ch. I feel confid. that he had sec. w. as Benjamin, bapt. 15 Apr. 1649; Henry, 9 June 1650; Martha, b. 23 Feb. bapt. 14 Mar. 1652; Esther, 7, bapt. 11 June 1654, prob. d. young; Ruth, bapt. prob. 25 May 1656; but afr. most patient investigat. Mr. Clapp is sure only of portion of these, as ch. of John, and thinks the two first nam. may have belong. to his br. Thomas. No great value attaches to the decision, as neither liv. long. But John, s. of John was also bapt. 15 Apr. 1649. By his will of 9 July preced. his dec. pro. 1 Sept. foll. are nam. only s. John; ds. Hannah Overman, the eldest ch. w. of Thomas, wh. had first, in 1656, been w. of Mahaleel Munnings; Deborah, bapt. 23 May 1641, wh. m. a Cutter, as Clapp in Hist. of Dorchester, 138, reads, but I doubt, bec. d. Deborah seems ment. apart from d. Cutter; d. Fisher, whose h. is call. Daniel, tho. the reason is not seen, and perhaps the name is wrong; d. Johnson, wh. was Rebecca, perhaps the eldest, bapt. 2 Dec. 1638, sec. w. in Oct. 1662, of Matthew; d. Lydia Ballard, bapt. 13 Apr. 1645, with whose h. I am unacq.; d. Mary Edmunds, whose h. is unkn.; and d. Mountford, wh. prob. was Ruth, w. of Henry. JOHN, Boston, s. of the preced. m. 5 May 1685, Hannah Baker, was freem. 1690, liv. perhaps some time at Dorchester, where his w. d. 18 Sept. of that yr. had 28 yrs. NOAH, Newton, s. of Thomas of the same, m. 10 Dec. 1664, Theodosia, d. perhaps eldest, of deac. John Jackson of the same, had Thomas, b. 29 Apr. 1666, d. young; Elizabeth 30 Sept. 1668; Caleb; Margaret, 1 Mar. 1672; Hannah, 1 Apr. 1674; Mary; Esther, 1 Apr. 1678; Sarah, 5 Jan. 1681; and Thomas, again, 29 Apr. 1686; was freem. 1685, capt. in 1690, when, march. to relieve Casco, in hard fight, [[617]] 6 July, with Ind. he was slain, near Wheelwright's pond, in Lee, N. H. In the Magnalia, VII. 75, may be read an acco. of this action, embellish. as usual, in style, but it is silent a. the d. of his s. John at the same battle, and we otherwise hear of no such s. I reject. the tradit. Forty-three yrs. later, a gr. of ld. in Lunenburg, was extorted for these serv. from the tardy gratitude of the Province. OLIVER, Dorchester, s. of Enoch the first of the same, m. 1 June 1690, Sarah Baker, had Thomas; Enoch; Ebenezer; Oliver; Ichabod; John; and Samuel; and d. 28 Nov. 1706. His. wid. d. 31 May 1712, aged 73. THOMAS, Cambridge, br. of John the first, long dwelt with him at Dorchester, where he sett. 1635, and was a very useful man, bring. w. Elizabeth and s. Enoch, b. prob. in 1635, and perhaps Esther, bapt. here 1635; yet was not freem. bef. 1635; had also, at D. Ichabod, a. 1637, bef. ment.; Noah, bapt. 30 Dec. 1638, says Jackson; Sarah, bapt. prob. 19 Mar. 1643; Ebenezer, 1646; and Elizabeth 15 Apr. 1649. Bef. July 1657 he had rem. to C. and gave his est. at D. to his s. Enoch. When John Eliot, s. of the apostle, was ord. 20 July 1664, the first min. of C. village, W. was made rul. Elder. He took sec. w. late in his days, Isabella Farmer, a wid. from Eng. mo. of Edward Farmer of Billerica, whose maiden name was Barbage, of Great Packington in Co. Warwick, from wh. by one more step of descent, than is giv. in the first art. of Geneal. Reg. I. came the diligent, judicious, and admired John Farmer, kn. thro. the length and breadth of N. E. as the author of the Geneal. Reg. of the first sett. print. at Lancaster 1829. W. d. at Newton, wh. had been incorp. from C. some yrs. bef. on 6 Dec. 1683; and his wid. d. at her son's in Billerica, 21 May 1686. Esther m. 16 May 1655, William Johnson of Woburn; Mary m. Samyel Payson of Dorchester, says Jackson, but she d. 25 May 1727 in 59th yr. if the gr.-st. tells the truth, and ano. fate was that of this d. of Wiswall; and Sarah m. Nathaniel Holmes. WITCHFIELD, JOHN, Dorchester, came in the Lion, arr. 16 Sept. 1632, freem. 11 June 1633, rem. with first sett. to Windsor, where his w. d. 26 Apr. 1659. He m. next, 1662, Margaret, wid. of Edward Goffe of Cambridge, but had no ch. by either. The sec. w. d. a. the end of June 1669 at Cambridge, where she had, 21 Apr. 1663, made her will, giving a piece of plate to W. her h. small legacies to the childr. of Samuel and Lydia, two ch. of her former h. by his first w. to her d.-inlaw Elizabeth Hayward, wh. is unkn. to me, to Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, Mr. Samuel Shepard, and Thomas Fanning, ea. £5. to the childr. of her sis. Jane, first w. of Edwuard Winship, of wh. Joanna, the youngest, was to have double portion; but the larger part of her est. was for her own ds. Hannah and Abiah Goffe. This will was dr. by Thomas Danforth, [[618]] witness. by him, Thomas Chisholme, and Caleb, that solitary aborig. gr. of H. C. 1665, wh. d. next yr. bef. he could be call. to verify his signat. wh. is very handsome. He was deac. and d. 16 Mar. 1678 at Windsor. The venerable Dr. T. M. Harris, mistook, in his Histor. Disc. 65, this name, and gave it Whitfield. WITHAM, HENRY, Gloucester 1665, s. prob. of Thomas, d. 17 Apr. 1702, had Thomas, b. 1666; Henry, 1668; John, 1670; Samuel, 1672; and Joseph, 1676; by w. Sarah, d. of Morris Somes, wh. he m. 15 June 1665, and she d. 11 May 1689. He m. 23 Oct. 1691, Lydia Griffin, wh. outliv. him only few mos. THOMAS, Gloucester, wh. d. 1653, was, as Mr. Babson thinks, f. of Henry. WITHERDEN, or WYTHERDEN, JOHN, Scituate 1643, rem. to Boston 1659, had a windmill 1654, on the common at Foxhill, by leave of the inhabs. and liv. 1661. WITHERIDGE or WYTHERIDGE, as the ch. rec. has it, EDWARD. Boston, mariner and merch. join. our ch. 24 Feb. 1644, and was made freem. in May foll. See WETHERIDGE. One Mary Witheridge of Salem vill. was arrest. in May 1692, as a witch (Essex Inst. III. 119); but I see no proof, that either the devil or the court prevail. to obt. convict. WITHERS, THOMAS, Kittery, came prob. with Neal, 1631, as one of his comp. for the patentee John Mason, and so may have liv. first on the W. side of the riv. in 1653 own. the jurisdict. of Mass. and was made a commissnr. the same yr. rep. 1656. WITHIE, ROBERT, aged 20, with Susan, 18, and Mary, 16, prob. his sis. emb. at London, with a Mary With, 62, perhaps the mo. of them all, 11 Sept. 1635, in the Hopewell, Capt. Babb, but I can find no trace of them on our side of the water. WITHINGTON, EBENEZER, Dorchester, s. of Richard of the same. freem. 1690, had w. Mary wh. d. 10 Jan. 1691; but I believe no ch. and d. 11 Feb. 1729, in 78th yr. and by his sec. w. Mary, d. of the church of Taunton, prob. m. 2 Feb. 1693, he had Ebenezer, b. 22 Dec. foll. wh. d. soon; and she d. 27 Dec. 1736, aged 76.

His wid. d. 20 May 1676. He had good est. and his will of 8 Jan. 1665, div. it among the three ds. and his s. Richard's four s. HENRY, Dorchester, br. of Ebenezer, join. the ch. 2 Jan. 1677, as did his w. Sarah, 7 Nov. 1687. She was d. of Henry Leadbetter, m. 12 June 1684, had Sarah, b. 13 Apr. 1688. Henry, 7 Sept. 1686; and Silence, posthum. 19 Apr. 1688. He was freem. 1677, and d. 2 Feb. 1688. JOHN, Dorchester, s. of Richard of the same, freem. 1673, by w.

His wid. d. 18 Apr. 1714. WILLIAM, Newport 1638, on the list of freem. 1655. Sometimes the name is in old rec. is Withrington. WITHMAN, JOHN, Charlestown 1641, whose name is Weightman on the rec. of the ch. 31 July, when he join. as is also that of Susanna, prob. his w. 30 Nov. 1642, freem. 18 May 1642, upon the list of housekeep. 1658, was, by Farmer, suppos. the same as Whitman, tho. in a later day he conject. Whitham. WITT, JOHN, Lynn 1650, was, perhaps, one of the selectmen of Groton 1655, to aid in organiz. town gov. but soon back at L. by w. Sarah had Martha, b. 5 Mar. 1659; Thomas, 25 July 1661; Ebenezer, 6 Apr. 1665, d. in few wks.; and others. He d. 2 Dec. 1675, leav. wid. Sarah, and ch.

[[620]] WITTEN, MICHAEL, Scarborough, acknowledg. the jurisdict. of Mass. in Oct. 1658. WITTER, JOSIAH, Lynn, s. of William of the same, m. 25 Feb. 1662, Elizabeth Wheeler, had Elizabeth b. 15 Mar. 1663; and Mary, 20 Feb. 1665; may have been at Stonington 1670, perhaps with f. of his w. WILLIAM, Lynn, an early sett. had w. Annis, and ch. Hannah, wh. m. a. 1650, Robert Burden; and Josiah, bef. ment. was troubled as a Bapt. early in 1646 by prosecut. of wh. the substance may be read in Col. Rec. III. 67, but d. 1659, aged 75. His will of 5 Aug. in that yr. mak. w. extrix. nam. s. d. and her h. was not pro. bef. June 1661. It is prob. that Burden stands for Burdett. WITTOMS, PETER, Boston, m. 17 June 1652, Redigan Clark, had Mary, b. 15 Apr. 1653; Elizabeth 26 May 1654, as the ancient copy of rec. says, but the modern copy has it 16, perhaps to conciliate favor for the rec. of her d. 25 May of the same yr.; and Peter, 15 May 1656. WIXAM, or WICKSON, BARNABAS, Eastham, s. of Robert of the same, by w. Sarah had Barnabas, b. 15 Sept. 1693, d. soon, but not, perhaps, so early as Geneal. Reg. VII. 347, makes it; Joshua, 14 Mar. 1695; Lydia; 12 June 1697; Robert, 29 May 1698; and Prince, 2 Dec. 1700. ROBERT, Plymouth 1643; rem. to Eastham, by w. whose name is not seen clear. had Jeremiah, b. 30 Aug. 1655; Titus, 2 Dec. 1657; Elizabeth 29 May 1660; and Martha, whose date is not found; and d.

WOLCOTT, WALCOTT, or WOOLCOT, GEORGE, Windsor 1640, s. of the first Henry, brot. by his f. rem. a. 1650 to Wethersfield, adm. freem. 1657, but d. at W. 1662, or, as is said, 12 Feb. 1664; having by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 1651l; George, 1653; John, 1656; and Mercy, 1659. Very slight acco. is seen of any of this fam. Perhaps George and John may be discern. sometimes at Wethersfield. Mary was infirm, and under guardians; and Elizabeth m. 1686, Gabriel Cornish. HENRY, Dorchester 1630, was b. a. 1578, in the S. part of Somerset sh. at or near Wellington, not far from the edge of Devonsh. and thus, prob. gain. sympathy with the puritans of the W. who project. the voyage of the Mary and John in Mar. of that yr. He was honor. with a commiss. from the crown, as a jutice bef. leav. home, as tradit. tells, and had good landed est. as perhaps may be infer. from a very valua. letter of his br. John, 15 Apr. 1639, print. in Geneal. Reg. II. 373. He desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was sw. 1 Apr. 1634. His w. Elizabeth Saunders, m. a. 1607, was his compan. in the traverse of the wilderness to plant the first town, nam. Dorchester, but soon aft. Windsor, on the [[621]] Conn. in Oct. 1635, and outliv. him but few wks. Their ch. Henry, b. a. 1610; George; Christopher; Ann, b. a. 1620; Simon, 1625; and Mary; were all brot. from Eng. He is the first officer. nam. in the rec. of Conn. p. 1, chos. 26 Apr. 1636, constable, and in Apr. 1643 Assist. till his d. was largely engag. in business, and d. 30 May 1655. No will is preserv. His wid. d. 7 or 17 July foll. aged 73, Ann m. Matthew Griswold; and Mary m. 25 June 1646, Job Drake. Of Christopher notice is never seen, but that he d. 7 Sept. 1662. HENRY, Windsor, eldest s. of the preced. b. in Eng. at Tolland near Wiveliscombe, Co. Somerset, m. 8 Nov. 1640, Sarah, d. of that Thomas Newberry or Newbury, wh. was engag. in the migrat. from Dorchester, but prevent. by d. had Henry, b. 6, bapt. 8 Jan. 1643; John, b. 28 Feb. 1646; Samuel, 8 Oct. 1647, prob. d. young; Sarah, 5 July 1649; Mary, 8 Dec. 1651; Hannah, 8 Mar. 1654; Samuel, 16 Apr. 1656; and Josiah, 22 July 1659; was rep. 1655, 6, and 61, Assit. 1662, bef. the com. of the royal chart. of that yr. in wh. Gov. Winthrop had caus. the insert. of his name, and was contin. in the office of Assist. as far as our publish. rec. runs, was of the counc. of war in 1675-6, and d. 12 July 1680. Sarah m. as fam. tradit. tells, Walter Price of Salem; but it should say his s. John; Mary m. James Russell of Charlestown; and Hannah d. at 29 yrs. for wh. tradit. found no h. His wid. d. 16 June 1684. The will of Henry, 21 Sept. 1670, provides for w. and the seven ch. to the ds. all then unm. £250. ea. to Henry, housing and ld. at Tolland Mill, to John, other tenement in Tolland, and notices his est. at Wellington. Other est. he had of large extent on our side of the water in Windsor and Wethersfield; and he was very dilig. in the cultivation. Great sales of fruit trees thro. muh of the region betw. Fairfield on the Sound and Springfield on the bank of the Conn. are spoken of; and Josselyn, wh. went home in the same ship when W. visit. his native ld. in 1671, relates, that W. inform. him that he made 500 hogsheads of cider from his orchard in a yr. What allowance for Josselyn's ciphers should be made may be guessed from his enumera. of the dwellinghouses in Boston, on his earlier visit, wh. Drake, in Hist. 244. fails to explain. HENRY, Windsor, eldest s. of the preced. m. 12 Oct. 1664, Abiah, youngest d. of Edward Goffe of Cambridg, whose wid. had two yrs. bef. m. John Witchfield of W. had Elizabeth b. 27 Aug. 1665; Henry, 13 Apr. 1667, d. soon; Abiah, 1 May 1669; Sarah, 27 Mar. 1671, d. soon; Henry, again, 30 Jan. 1673, wh. d. at 24 yrs.; Sarah, again, 16 Apr. 1676; and Samuel, 26 Mar. 1679; was freem. 1667, and d. 15 Feb. 1710. His wid. whose name is so pervert. in Geneal. Reg. I. 252, and again V. 463, d. 18 June 1717, in her 72d yr. Neither Henry, nor Samuel, wh. d. 1712, had issue, and the male line of this branch ceased. [[622]] HENRY, Windsor, s. of Simon the first of the same, m. 1696, Jane Allen, wh. d. 1702, had, the fam. geneal. says, Henry, b. 1698; Thomas, 1702; Peter; Rachel; and Gideon; but it names no w. and gives no dates, exc. that of his d. Nov. 1746. JOHN, Salem is by tradit. said to have own. the house that Roger Williams sold him, when driv. away in 1635, but no more can be told. JOHN, Cambridge, or Watertown, freem. 4 Mar. 1635, rep. May foll. d. in July 1638, his inv. tak. 17th of that mo. by three of the ch. mem. Rev. George Phillips being one, and the prefix of respect, show that he was a man of esteem. JOHN, Newbury, a carpenter, b. a. 1632, perhaps s. of the first nam. John, m. 20 Nov. 1653, Mary Thorla, prob. d. of Richard of the same, had Mary, b. 1654; Sarah, 23 Aug. 1657; John, 25 Oct. 1660; Joseph, 2 Feb. 1664; Elizabeth 24 Feb. 1667; Martha, 13 Sept. 1670; Lydia, 15 Jan. 1674; and Hannah, 18 Apr. 1679. Perhaps he rem. to Brookfield, and may have been by the Ind. driv. thence in 1689 to die 30 Sept. 1690 at Springfield. In his will he names w. the two. s. and three ds. the elder b. but neither of the younger three wh. were prob. d. He had ld. at Newbury, at Brookfield, and Watertown. JOHN, Windsor, s. of the sec. Henry of the same, propound. for freem. 1670, m. 14 Feb. 1677, Mary, d. of John Chester of Wethersfield, had John, b. 20 Nov. foll.; Henry, 7 Aug. 1679, d. soon; Charles, 3 Sept. 1681; George, 20 Oct. 1683, d. young; and Benjamin; and his w. d. 10 July 1689; by sec. w. m. 22 June 1692, Hannah Nichols of Stamford, had Mary, and he d. 3 Jan. 1713.

JOSIAH, Salem, in an early day m. it is said, Alice, d. of Richard Ingersol, but nothing more can I tell of h. or w. exc. that aft. the name is very oft. giv. with a, for o, in the first syl. JOSIAH, Salem, youngest s. of the sec. Henry, m. Penelope, d. of George Curwin of the same, had Elizabeth b. 30 Mar. 1688, d. at 14 yrs. but her mo. had d. soon aft. b. of her ch. and he m. Mary Treat wh. brot. him nine ch. acc. the fam. rep. in Geneal. Reg. I. 252, tho. wh. she could be, unless one of the ds. of Gov. Robert's mythic. numb. of twenty-one by first w. is hard to find. The [[623]] Gov. had a Mary, but she was bapt. 23 May 1652, too many yrs. bef. the b. of Josiah to have such a platoon; yet it may be that he was happy eno. to have ano. younher of the same name. More important, however, is the file of the ch. Josiah, 21 Dec. 1690, d. in few ds.; Treat, 26 Mar. 1696, d. in few wks.; Thomas, 23 June 1697, d. in few wks.; Mehitable, 3 Aug. 1698, d. at 23 yrs.; Josiah again, 11 July 1700, d. in few ds.; John, 12 Sept. 1702; Elizabeth 1 Apr. 1705, d. at 11 yrs.; Mary, 13 July 1706, d. next wk.; and Treat, again, 9 Oct. 1712.

His w. d. 3. Aug. 1723, and he d. 3 Aug. 1732. WILLIAM, Windsor, br. of the preced. m. Abia Hawley, perhaps d. of Ephraim of Stratford, had Abia; Lucia; William, b. 21 July 1711; Martha; and Ephraim; and d. 26 Jan. 1749. As in the Winthrop fam. the choice of f. s. and gr.s. in early days to the office of Gov. by popular vote is observ. so in later generat. the Conn. steady habits made Roger and his s. Oliver and gr.s. Oliver their ch. rulers. Twelve of this name had been gr. at Yale, two at Harv. and two at other N. E. coll. in 1834, as is noted by Farmer in MS. WOLFALL, or WOOLFALL, RICHARD, Boston 1677, of wh. I see nothing but that he is nam. in the will of the first Thomas Oliver, 1653, as hav. m. a d. of the testator, then liv. at Muddy riv. now Brookline. WOLFE, or WOOLFE, EDWARD, Lyme 1671. PETER, Salem, freem. 14 May 1634, was so much of a milit. spirit, as hardly to fail of being chos. lieut. in 1646, yet in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. 256, with w.

WOLLASTON, the capt wh. form. a tempora. settlem. 1625, wh. aft. short time he abandon. and went to Virg. might hardly seem to deserve a place in this work, were it not for the possibil. that a passeng. of the Planter, from London, ten yrs later, call. Mary Wolhouston, aged 30, may have been seek. the long abs. h. when she came to Boston; tho. more prob. is it that she was w. of a Mr. W. wh. is nam. in an act of the Ct. Sept. 1641, impos. fine of L13. 6s. 8d. perhaps the same as JOSIAH that I find a merch. of Boston in 1666. Very obscure, however, is the evid. for either suppos. Lewis claims one W. for Lynn 1637, but says he rem. to Sandwich. WOLLEY, ROBERT, Southampton, L. I. one of those wh. in Aug. 1673, made a represent. of their cases to the inhabs. of the Unit. Colonies of N. E. as to the policy of their submit. to the Dutch, wh. had conquer. New York. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 86-88. Perhaps the name might as well be read Walley. WOLLOND, or WOOLLEN, EDWARD, of wh. I kn. no more but that he was an appraiser on two est. 1679 and 80, in Essex Co. in one case call. sen. so as to make it prob. he had s. Edward. WOLSEY, GEORGE, is, by Mr. Felt, seen with his w. 1653, in some part of the land; but I can trace them no later. WOLTEN, JOHN, Piscataquq, said to have come from Plymouth, Eng. a. 1633, and resid. twenty-one yrs. when, strange as it reads, our Gen. Ct. in 1654, order. him to go home to his w.

[[625]] WOOD, or WOODS, ABIEL, Middleborough, s. of Henry, m. 1683, Abiah Bowen, had Elnathan, b. 14 Apr. 1686; Abiah, 20 Feb. 1689.; Abiel, 19 Mar. 1691; Timothy, 13 Oct. 1693; Jerusha, 11 Nov. 1695; Ebenezer, 4 Aug. 1697; Judah, 28 July 1700; and Thomas, 30 Jan. 1703. With his w. he was among the found. of the first ch. at M. 1694; and d. 10 Oct. 1719; and his w. d. 21 May 1746, aged 83. ABRAHAM, Concord, s. perhaps eldest of Michael of the same, was freem. 1690. ANTHONY, Ipswich 1665, m. 1 June 1666, Mary Grover, perhaps d. of Edmund of Salem, had William, b. 20 Mar. 1667. CONSIDER, New London, by Miss Caulkins is mark. as hav. a gr. of ld. 1648, but forfeit. for non-resid. CONSTANT, a passeng. aged 12 yrs. in the Abigail from London, 1635, and there might seem some grounds for suspect. that he was the same as preced. DANIEL, Ipswich 1643, d. 1648. DANIEL, Rowley, rem. to Boxford, freem. sw. 22 Mar. 1690, and again in Oct. foll. if the Col. rec. be true, yet possib. the solemnity may have been for f. and s. by w. Sarah, wh. d. 27 Sept. 1714, had David, b. 1670; Daniel; John; and others, as Barry says. EDMUND, Springfield 1636, rem. to Wethersfield that yr. thence to Stamford 1641, and next, in few yrs. more to Hempstead, L. I. and may again have rem. EDWARD, Charlestown, was adm. to join the ch. 30 Mar. 1640, freem. 13 May foll. and his w. Ruth join. in few days. She perhaps had Ruth, and certain. Tabitha, bapt. 30 May 1641; d. 29 Aug. 1642, and he d. 27 Nov. foll. In Geneal. Reg. III. 81, the date of inv. would perhaps appear 4 Dec. aft. Farmer was led to mistake the name of the Springfield Edmund for Edward, and so to think he might be s. of this man. An EDWARD of Boston, mariner in 1659, had w. Elizabeth and no more is kn. ELEAZER, Medfield, youngest ch. of Nicholas of the same, was struck down, when his br.

ELIAS, ELLICE, or ELLIS, Dedham, by w. Catharine had Mehitable, b. 17 June 1658; Abigail, 19 July 1660; and his w. d. 29 May 1663. He took for sec w. Miriam, wid. of John Smith of D. wh. was the school-mistress many yrs. and d. 19 Oct. 1706, aged 73. The ludicrous solemnity of the gr.-st. inscript. is happily preserv. in Geneal. Reg. IV. 277. He rem. to Dorchester, where he was freem. 1673 and liv. 1692. GEORGE, Saybrook 1660, m. that yr. but the name of his w. is not seen.; had George, b. 28 Sept. 1661, and prob. rem. HENRY, Plymouth 1643, m. a. 1645, Abigail, d. of John Jenny, rem. to Yarmouth, had Sarah; [[626]] Samuel, b. 25 May 1647; went back to P. there had John, 1649; Jonathan, 1 Jan. 1650; David, 17 Oct. 1651; Isaac, 1654; and Abiel; and perhaps more ch. d. at Middleborough; but the time of his d. is not seen, bec. the inv. ment. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 235 is defic. in date. His d. Sarah m. 28 Nov. 1667, John Nelson. HENRY, Concord, by w. Ellen had John, b. 17 Nov. 1651; Mary, 7 Sept. 1653; Hannah, 11 Mar. 1656; and Milicent, 4 Apr. 1660. Usually his name is Woods; and I presume he rem. to Groton, was quarter-master of the troop of W. Middlesex cavalry in 1671. HENRY, Newport, by w. Hannah had Henry, b. 24 Nov. 1670; Abigail, 15 Aug. 1672; James, 9 Nov. 1674; Hannah, 25 Sept. 1677; Richard, 28 Oct. 1679; and Elizabeth 9 Jan. 1682. It ought to be add. that the rec. spells this name as Whod, and possib. that may mean Hood. Isaac, Marlborough, s. of John of Sudbury, of wh. from Barry I learn, that by two ws. he had Isaac, Joseph, Charles, Solomon, Dinah, Mary, and Elizabeth and that his will was pro. 17 Aug. 1720. Sewall's Diary, as giv. in Geneal. Reg. VI. 72, says under 1685, July 4, "Isaac W. dies suddenly." Perhaps this was some young man, fellow-worship. with S. but my knowledge is limit. by him. ISAIAH, Ipswich 1668, then said to be 41 yrs. old, m. 26 Jan 1653, Mercy, d. of Simon Thompson of the same, had Mary, b. 31 Oct. 1653; Simon, 18 Feb. 1655; Thomas, Nov. 1656, d. in 5 mos.; Sarah, Jan. 1658, d. next mo.; Samuel and Isaiah, tw. 20 July 1659, of wh.

Wood, prob. his f. in 1675, freem. 1690, had w. Hopestill. JEREMIAH, Stamford 1641, went to Hempstead, L. I. perhaps was br. of Edmund, or William, or of both. JOHN, Saybrook, employ. by the younger John Winthrop was k. by the Pequots, as appears in Conn. Col. Rec. I. 29, prob. in 1637. JOHN, Sudbury, pinmaker, wh. seems an odd trade for a wilderness pioneer; by w. Mary had John, b. 8 May 1641; perhaps Francis, 1645; James, 18 July 1647; Catharine; Isaac, 14 July 1655; beside Hannah, prob. the oldest ch. wh. m. 7 June 1665, John Leavins of Roxbury, and d. early, leav. Hannah nam. in the will of her gr.f. He d. 10 July 1678, and his wid. d. 1690, aged 80, says Barry. In Oct. 1675 he was, I suppose, the serg. in one of the Marlborough garrison houses, as John, James, and Isaac, his s. were there also. JOHN, Lynn 1635, passeng. in the Hopewell, Capt. Babb, late in the autumn of that yr. aged 26, br. possib. of William, the author of N. E. [[627]] Prospect, freem. 13 May 1640, ar. co. 1642, may have been at Salem 1646.

JONAS, Springfield 1636, rem. early to Wethersfield, sett. at Stamford 1641, unless this settlem. refer rather to Weed, and in few yrs. was of L.

MARK, one of the soldiers in Turner's comp. 1676, was [[628]] of Charlestown, prob. had m. 2 Feb. 1665, Elizabeth d. of Nathaniel Hancock of Cambridge. MICHAEL, Concord, s. of William of the same, freem. 13 May 1640, had Abigail, b. 10 Apr. 1642; and Shattuck gives him other ch. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Thompson, or Thomas, and John, as left by him, at his d. 13 May 1674. Next mo. his wid. Mary brot. inv. Abigail m. Stephen Hosmer. NATHANIEL, a passeng. in the Increase from London, 1635, aged 12 yrs. of wh. no more is heard, nor can any indicat. be seen, exc. that in the same ship. came Elizabeth aged 38, wh. may have been his mo.

Mary, d. of Robert Williams of Roxbury, as Mr. Clapp assures me, had Mary and Sarah, tw. b. 25 Dec. 1642 as the Roxbury rec. in Geneal. Reg. VI. 377, 8, affirms, tho. Clapp claims him as early as 1640 to be overseer of Glover's farm until 1654. He had also Hannah. In 1645, he was one of the petitnrs. for Pumham's ld. to be gr. to them. Farmr, relying on a passage in Hutch. I. supposes he was of Medfield 1656, and there he certain. was soon aft. and also earlier. Records at M. give to him and w.

OBADIAH, a soldier wound. in Philip's war late in 1675; for whose cure the Conn. counc. made liberal paym. [see Col. Rec. II. 484], was of Hartford 1676, and perhaps s. of the [[629]] preced. had there bapt. Margaret, 1687; Abigail, 1699; and Margaret, again, 1705; and prob. others; but when he d. is not heard.

SAMUEL, Middleborough, s. of Henry of Plymouth, was one of the found. of the ch. 1694, had m. bef. 1679 w. Rebecca, by wh. he had Ephraim, Samuel, and perhaps others. SAMUEL, Rowley, s. of Thomas the first of the same, m. Margaret Elithorpe, prob. d. of the sec. Thomas of the same, had Thomas, b. 1689, and prob. others.

TRYALL, Salisbury, d. 11 June 1678, but we kn. not whether male or fem. ch. or adult. WALTER, Newport, perhaps br. of Henry, at least [[630]] the same perversity. of spelling the name, Whod, leaves uncertain what to call it, by w. Amy had Martha, b. 2 May 1676. WILLIAM, the valu. author of New England's Prospect, London 1634, may well be thot. that freem. of 18 May 1631; but more prob. is it, that he was sett. at Lynn, as early as 1630, as claim. by Lewis. He prob. came to Salem, 1629, and 15 Aug. 1633 left our country, as his book relates. That was print. 1634, and it is conject. by Shattuck, wh. would magnify the honor of Concord by so respectab. a citizen, that he came again to our side of the water, and d. at C. aft. many yrs. resid. 14 Ma y 1671, aged 86. For a William this is well vouch. Lewis has better appear. of proof in p. 84, of his sec. Ed. quot. Wood's words of minute descript. of Lynn river; beside wh. the fact of one of this name being rep. at the Gen. Ct. Mar. 1636, when he was chos. either from Salem or Lynn. bef. any one came from C. with the resid. at Sandwich 1643, so large a proport. of the first inhab. of S. having gone from L. are no slight object. to the hopes of Shattuck. Still the fame of Bulkley may have drawn him from S. where we never hear of him more. One Miriam whose f. we kn. not, was b. 8 May 1648, bur. next day; and Mary was b. 29 Mar. 1649, both at S. One WILLIAM came, 1635, in the Hopewell, Capt. Babb, a husbandman, aged 27, with Elizabeth 24, wh. may have been his sis. or w. and John, 26, bef. ment. prob. his. br. and it is clear, that if this be the author (wh. I neither affirm nor deny), two points decide against the Concord claim to him; for at C. w. of William d. 1 Sept. 1659, was call. Margaret; and the passeng. in the autumn of 1635 on the Hopewell, must have been b. 1608, while Shattuck's client could not have come into our world aft. 1585; or, if his faculties were not weaken. when he made his will, 15 Sept. 1670, reckon. hims. as 88 yrs. old, still earlier was his advent. At C. no ch. was b. to him; but he had ch. perhaps all, certain most. b. in Eng. Michael; Ruth, wh. m. Thomas Wheeler; and Abigail, wh. m. 24 Mar. 1667, Stephen Hosmer. The will names, beside Michael, Ruth and her h. the. gr.d. Abigail Hosmer . WILLIAM, Portsmouth, R. I. m. Martha, d. of the first Ralph Earle.

Strangely confus. is an acco. in Geneal. Reg. VI. 279, that he was brot. by his br. on his return from Eng. 1663, aft. wh. he "became one of the first br. of Harv." He had, if we receive the acco. that Mather gives, Magnalia, III. 219, been tak. by that br. wh. had gone back to Eng. in 1637, on receiv. news of d. of his f. but I see no small reason to doubt the narrative in the Eccles. Hist. Yet it is more consistent with itself than the Geneal. Reg. story. He went home, soon aft. grad. and obtain. a living in his native Co. perhaps at Salisbury, into wh. he was induct. 16 Nov. 1648; and honor. at Oxford with degree of S. T. D. the same yr. He next succeed. famous Dr. Twist at Newbury in the adjoin. shire of Berks, and in 1662 was eject. from office, and d. 1 Nov. 1684, at Englefield, in the same Co. His verses on our John Cotton, purport. to be inscript. on gr.-st. are in the Magnalia, III. 31. But in Allen's Biogr. Dict. the ingenious lines ae ascrib. to his neph. and his opinion should have weight, yet it may be that either of us follow. no course of inquiry to ascertain, which Benjamin has the best claim. BENJAMIN, Medford, s. of Rev. John of Andover, b. in Eng. whither his f. had gone a. 1647, and was prob. brot. by him, when he came back in 1663, m. 3 June 1672, Mary, d. of Rev. John Ward of Haverhill, wh. d. 11 Oct. 1680. By her prob. was b. only ch. Benjamin, that had been heard of by Farmer, as in his MS. notes to his Reg. is told. But in the "Ancestry of the Jones Fam." of Geneal. Reg. VI. besides this s. he is enrich. with Dudley, of Barbadoes, and Rev. Samuel of E. Hartford, H. C. 1701. That article contains too many errors to entitle it to the confidence desirable, among others one suspic. point is, that this s. was b. some yrs. aft. the d. of his w. He preach. some yrs. at Bristol, and aft. at Kittery 1688, and was resid. 1694 at Newcastle, N. H. but at last sat down 17 June 1702 at M. says Farmer in MS. and there d. 15 Jan. 1710. I wish the fair author of that Jones Geneal. could teach us, wh. are the two Dudley Woodbridges, for only one should be ascrib. to Benjamin, in our Coll. Cat. 1694 and 1696. JOHN, Newbury, s. of Rev. John of Stanton in the N. E. part of Wiltsh. b. 16l3, had been bred at Oxford, Mather says, but on the requirem. of the o. of uniformity, he left the Univers. for "a course of more private studies," and was brot. by his uncle, Rev. Thomas Parker, whose living was at Newbury in the neighborhood, in comp. with his cous. Rev. James Noyes, 1634, in the Mary and John, was one of the first planters of our Newbury, but he seems to have little tendency to preach, as in 1637, the yr. when his f. d. in Eng. (for by the Registry of Diocese I obs. that a successor was then appoint. to the vacancy) he was made [[632]] "surveyor of the arms," and rep. to the Gen. Ct. He not long aft. taught a sch. in Boston, when Portmorth had gone, in the religious schism, to Exeter, and he is even claim. as a mem. of ar. co. 1644, and m. a. 1639, Mercy, d. of Gov. Thomas Dudley, and was liv. at N. when his f.-in-law, in Nov. 1642, stir. him up to seek. advancem. as a min. and on 24 Oct. 1645 he was ord. not 16 Sept. 1644, wh. is Mather's date (more than a yr. bef. the ch. was gather.), as first min. at the new town of Andover. More trustworthy, however, is the tale, that he went, in 1647, "on the invitat. of his friends" to Eng. once more. exc. in this last circumstance; tho. why friends should withdraw him, in less than two yrs. from his first settlem. in the pulpit here, is not easi. explain. Sixteen yrs. contin. in Eng. first having employ. in the serv. of the able men of that Parliam. commiss. for treating with the king in his prison at the Isle of Wight bef. the overthrow of Parliam. authority by the soldiers wh. adopt. the more summary mode of negotiat. for remodel. tle old constitution of their country. Here, prob. he was fix. in the presbyter. views of ch. governm. in opposit. to the levellers and Cromwellians, and was employ. aft. as min. at Andover, in Hampsh. and a less import. parish in Wilts, finally at a sch. in Newbury, whence, Mather says, the Bartholomew Act exclud. him. In 1663, July 27, he reach. Boston in the ship Society, and in two yrs. was engag. as asssist. in the min. of his unlce Parker. In this honorble duty, aft. two or three yrs. a sad controv. distract. the quiet of the ch. and he was dismiss. some time bef. 1670, tho. Parker remain. in the tempestuous sea to his d. in 1677. Of his ch. Coffin names Sarah, b. 7 June 1640; Lucy, 13 Mar. 1642, wh. m. 2 Oct. 1667, Rev. Simon Bradstreet of New London, her cous. and next, Capt. Daniel Epps; John, H. C. 1664; but this last and other eight or nine were b. aft. he left our Newbury, and most of them in Eng.; Thomas, 1649; Mary, 1652; Benjamin; Timothy, 1656, H. C. 1675; Dorothy; Ann; Joseph; Martha; but tradit. in Mather gives ano. without name, and says eleven liv. to adult age. Aft. retiring from the ministry, the notice in Geneal. Reg. VI. 279, proceeds,"he was immediately chos. into the magistr." but it was not until 1683, and Mather left him out of the Counc. in his new chart. of 1691, as prob. too old. His w. d. 1 July 1691, and he d. 17 Mar. 1695. JOHN, Killingworth, s. of the preced. b. prob. at Andover, began to preach there 1666, but early in 1668 at Windsor, where in Oct. preced. had been gr. div. of the sentiment of the old parishion. of Warham, wh. was grown too infirm, a major part unit. in desire of one of the s. of Presid. Chauncey. Aft. long disquiet, the earlier and elder candidate went to Eng. and W. was ord. 7 Apr. 1669 for Kenilworth as the settlem. was first call. by the people and the rulers bef. modern [[633]] barbarity inflict. its present name; and the governm. of the Col. made him a gr. of 250 acres of ld. next yr. for his good conduct, but in 1679 he was sett. at Wethersfield. He m. 26 Oct. 1671, Abigail, eldest d. of Gov. William Leete, and Miss Jones in the Geneal. Reg. VI. gives him s. John, b. at K. 1678, H. C. 1694, the min. of West Springfield; but she makes the f. d. bef. 1682, while the Coll. catal. notes him 1690. Ano. s. was Ephraim, H. C. 1701, ord. 8 Nov. 1704 at Groton, Conn. For a gr.s. John, Y. C. 1726, min. at Windsor, and aft. at So. Hadley, s. of the W. S. min. a weak tradit. that he was "ninth John W. in the min. thro. as many successive generat." Farmer adopts. Sufficient honor it may be esteem. if a begin. of this tale be true, as the judicious author of the memoir indicates "Rev. John W. a follower of Wickliffe, b. not far from 1492. His s. John braved the dangers of the same profession and faith, as also did John the third, John the fourth, and John the fifth, in regular succession. The last named was the much esteemed pastor of a puritan ch. in Stanton, Wilts." Now the same faith may have been enjoy. in private by the first, sec. third, fourth, and fifth John; but I shall doubt the profession was not pubic, until some account be found of the benefices filled by them under the tyrannic. power of buff old Harry in his long reeign, and durirg the power of his harder daur. Queen Mary. On our side of the water, the fam. has been illustr. by a long line of clerg. JOHN, Newbury, sch.-master 1719-31, was prob. s. of Joseph of the same, d. 13 Dec. 1731. JOSEPH, Newbury, youngest s. of John the first, b. in Eng. bef. 1634, and brot. that yr. by his f. m. 20 May 1680, Martha, eldest d. of Ezekiel Rogers of Ipswich, and gr.d. of the historian, had Joseph, b. 7 May 1687; John, 13 Feb. 1690, H. C. 1710; Nathaniel, 28 Jan. 1696; and Margaret, 1698; but when he d. is not seen in Coffin's Hist. SAMUEL, Hartford, prob. s. of Timothy, was first min. of the parish on E. side of the riv. says Dr. Allen, wh. could tell no more but that he d. 1746, acc. Coll. catal. THOMAS, Newbury, sec. s. of the first John, b. in Eng. m. 12 June 1671, Mary Jones, d. of Ann, sec. w. of Capt. Paul White by a former h. had Paul, b. 12 Feb. 1673; Mary, 20 Feb. 1675; Thomas, 28 Jan. 1677; and John and Benjamin, tw. 24 Feb. 1679. He was capt. and d. 30 Mar. 1681, of suffer. from burn. in his ho. as Coffin, from Sewall's Diary tells. His wid. m. Joseph Coker. TIMOTHY, fourth s. of the first John, b. in Eng. was sixth min. of Hartford, but not ord. bef. 18 Nov. 1685, m. Mehitable, d. of Samuel Wyllis, wid. of Rev. Isaac Foster, wh. was predecess. of W. in the Hartford ch. but she had first been wid. of Daniel Russell of Charlestown, by her had Samuel, H. C. 1701; Susanna; and prob. others, beside Ashbel, b. 1704, Y. C. 1724, wh. by mistake in Geneal. Reg. VII. 75, I presume, is made s. by a sec. w. that [[634]] his f. did not have. The sec. w. of Rev. Timothy W. was Abigail, d. of the rich wid. of Phineas Wilson of Hartford, by her third. h. John Warren of Boston; and Goodwin, 349, wh. is wrong in call. her sec. w. of Warren when she was the third, must be right to her d. Abigail, being wid. of Richard Lord, and giv. only to Woodbridge, Theodore, b. 23 June 1717. A third w. he had in Mary, d. of Hon. William Pitkin, wid. of some min. that Miss Jones has not nam. in her Memoir. Geneal. Reg. VI. 280, and to me it seems very strange, that such details cannot be gather. but she tells of his d. 30 Apr. 1732. Farmer counts, in 1834, gr. of this name, eighteen at Yale, twelve at Harv. two at Dartm. and four at other N. E. coIl. add. that one half had been clerg. among wh. the first eight at Harv. and first four at Yale. WOODBURY, sometimes WOODBURY, ANDREW, Salem, 1668, s. of the elder William, wh. was br. of John and Nicholas, by w. Mary had Mary, b. 14 May 1657, d. next yr.; Susan, 9 June 1660; and Hannah, 1 Apr. 1664. His wid. Mary brot. inv. to Ct. 29 June 1685. HENRY, in Essex Inst. I. 12, nam. as overseer with two others in the will of George Williams, 23 Sept. 1654, seems to me a mistake, perhaps for Humphrey. HUGH, Salem 1650, s. of William the first, liv. prob. on Beverly side, as he was one of the found. of ch. there, m. Dec. 1650, Mary Dixey. perhaps d. of Thomas of S. had Samuel, b. 6 Dec. 1651,bapt. 25 Jan. 1652, d. young; Samuel, again, but rec. says Sarah, 2, bapt. 4 June 1654; Hugh, 12 Feb. bapt. 9 Mar. 1657; John, b. 5 Sept. 1658, bapt. 6 Mar. 1659; Priscilla, 8 Apr. 1666, but no more is kn. of him, unless he be the man of this name in 1686 at or near Taunton. HUMPHREY, Beverly, s. prob. eldest of John, b. in Eng. a. 1609, had perhaps come with his f. 1626 to Cape Ann, rem. with Conant next yr. to Salem, and there he prob. contin. while his f. went home in 1627 to obt. assist. for the planta. and came back in June 1628, a. three mos. bef. Endicott. He unit. with the ch. July 1643, yet is not sw. freem. bef. 1678, even if this be not better evidence for his s. than hims. had w. Elizabeth and ch. bapt. at S.; Isaac, 4 Feb. 1644; Humphrey, 8 Mar. 1646; Susanna, 4 Feb. 1649; William, 4 May 1651; Peter, 17 Apr. 1653, yet said to be b. 28 Mar. 1652, and one or the other rec. may be wrong; Richard, b. 28 Feb. 1655, bapt. prob. 11 Mar. foll.; Elizabeth b. 28 Apr. 1657, bapt. 30 May 1658, wh. m.

Dudley, his will, of 4 Mar. 1686, pro. 11 Oct. foll. is found in [[635]] Suffolk jurisdict. Vol. XI. His w. Elizabeth was the extrix. His wid. by her will of 1 May 1689, with codic. of 8 Aug. foll. pro. 26 Nov. aft. at Salem, as giv. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 322, names the three ds. but only two s. William, wh. is made excor. and John, ea. hav. call. a s. Peter aft. her s. wh. was k. at Deerfield with Capt. Lothrop and the flower of Essex, 18 Sept. 1675. HUMPHREY, Beverly, s. of the preced. m. 8 Jan. 1671, Ann, perhaps d. of Richard Window of the same, had Bethia, b. 1672; Abigail, 1674; Humphrey, 1677, d. at 18 yrs.; Ann, 1680; Nehemiah, 1686; Abel, 1688; Nathan, 1691; and Israel, 1693; beside these at Gloucester, Nathaniel, 1684; Susanna, 1695; and Humphrey, 1698.

Robert and Mary, freem. 1678, was tak. 1689 in his fish. sch. by the French. JOHN, Salem, had come from Somersetsh. perhaps some fish. village on the Bristol Channel, and sat down first at Cape Ann, soon form. with others, under direct. of Roger Conant, the settlem. at Salem in 1626, went home next yr. and came back early in 1628, prob. bring. w. Agnes and s. William, unless it be conclud. that they were brot. two yrs. bef. with s. Humphrey. In the notice of Roger Conant, one of the most valua. of Mr. Felt's illustra. of our early hist. Geneal. Reg. II. 235-8, is seen the degree of organiz. of governm. bef. the coming of Endicott, wh. did not, so far as we can learn, exercise any higher authority, and prob. bef. the arr. of Higginson, and the fleet of 1629, had not add. a greater num. of subjects than he found already in the planta. He was sw. constable, 28 Sept. as in our Col. Rec.

His wid. Agnes did not produce the will until some mos. aft. being summon. and the inv. was not sw. bef. 20 Feb. 1644.

Peter, the soldier, wh. fell at Bloodybrook, 18 Sept. 1675, as in the will of the child's gr.mo. is seen, Geneal. Reg. VII. 322. But an elder JOHN of Salem, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 15 Aug. 1654; John, 15 Mar. 1657, d. young; and Abigail, 8 June 1660. He may have been s. of William the first. JONATHAN, Boston, mariner, m.

NICHOLAS, Beverly, [[636]] came from Great Yarmoth, Co.

In it he ment. w. Ann, ch. Isaac, Andrew, Benjamin, Joan, w. of Samuel Plummer, wh. was b. Mar. 1653 and Abigail, Aug. 1655; w. of Richard Ober, and her ch. Ann and Hezekiah. To these he div. good. est. here, but to his eldest s. Nicholas, 31 July 1657; he devis. his ld. in the mother country at Great Yarmouth. But that w. had been d. some yrs. as I presume, for admin. 2 Dec. 1691, was giv. to his wid. Mary. PETER, Beverly, s. of John the first, freem. 1668, was serg. 1685, by w.

I find six of this fam. gr. at Dartm. and two at Harv. WOODCOCK, JOHN, Wrentham, is first heard of at Springfield 1638, where he was largely in trade, yet he may have gone thither from Roxbury, at least he was of R. so much as to own two houses there, for he mortgag. one, 25 Mar. 1651, to John Gore, and the other, 6 June aft. to Joseph Holmes. However, he had rem. from S. to Dedham 1642, and [[637]] thence, perhaps, to Rehoboth, bef. 1673, but prob. liv. much at W. In Philip's war, his ho. in W. now perhaps within Attleborough bounds, was a famous garrison, and he says, in a letter of 26 Apr. 1676, that two of his fam. had been slain, and ano. s. was wound. Yet he prefer. the jurisdict. of Plymouth, and was rep. for R. 1651. See Baylies, II. 218, and III. 125. Of his fam. no full acco. is kn. but he was liv. 1694, had d. Sarah, w. m.

WOODMAN, ARCHELAUS, Newbury, nam. Hercules in the report to governm. of passeng. from Southampton in the James of London, em bark. 6 Apr. arr. 3 June 1653, and call. mercer of Malford. Perhaps the custom-ho. officers knew more of Hercules than of the other name, tho. both are equal. heathenish, but prob. the sound was not unlike. He was b. 1618; but how entit. mercer, when only a minor, provokes inq. My conject. is, that his elder br. Edward, deserv. that descript. and came in that ship, but it was undesirable to give his name and excite suspic. that he was not authoriz. under the odious orders of the counc. to come to our counry. Mr. Coffin wh. says his w. Elizabeth d. 17 Dec. 1677, gives no ch. He was made freem. 17 May 1637, was lieut. 1670, rep. 1674 and 5, m. sec. w. 13 Nov. 1678, Dorothy Chapman, and d. 7 Oct. 1702.

He with his f. was long involv. in the gr. relig. quarrel of wh. large reports are giv. in the very valua. Hist. of N. by Coffin. EDWARD, Newbury, s. of the preced. m. 29 June 1702, Mary Sawyer, prob. d. of William, of the same. JOHN, Newbury, s. of Edward the first, had been perhaps at Ipswich 1648, but at N. m. 15 July 1656, Mary Field, and next yr. was establ. at Dover, freem. 1666, had John, Mary, and Sarah, wh. all outliv. him, and perhaps others; was capt. rep. 1684, and d. a. 1707.

JONATHAN, Newbury, s. of Edward the first, m. 2 Jult 1668, Hannah Hilton, perhaps d. of William of the same, had Hannah, b. 8 Mar. 1669; Sarah, 19 Oct. 1670; Ruth, 11 July 1672; Jonathan, 16 Apr. 1674; Ichabod, 26 Apr. 1676; Mary, 25 Apr. 1678; and William, 29 Mar. 1681. He took o. of alleg. 26 Feb. 1669, and in 1681 calls Stephen Greenleaf his uncle, for wh. I would glad. see the cause. JOSEPH, Salem, a youth, ment. in the will of Christopher Waller, Oct. 1676. JOSHUA, Newbury, elder br. of Jonathan, m. 22 Jan. 1666, Elizabeth Stevens, perhaps d. of John of Andover, where the m. was, had Mehitable, b. 20 Sept. 1677; and Jonathan; but as Coffin gives not the date of the last, nor any more ch. we may suppose that he rem. to Andover, where Farmer says he liv. yet Newbury can show his gr.-st. with inscript. that he d. 30 May 1703. RICHARD, Lynn 1644, d. Nov. 1647, as from prob. rec. Coffin tell's, and that he had no ch. and he may have been that passeng. emb. at London in the Abigail, July 1635, aged 9.

His w. d. 29 Dec. foll. and he m. 1 May 1662, Elizabeth eldest ch. of George Carr of Salisbury, had John, 2 Feb. 1663, wh. d. young; James, 7 Dec. 1665; and again he m. 23 July 1672, Elizabeth d. of Jonas Clark of Cambridge, had Elizabeth 13 Aug. 1674, wh. d. next yr. and her gr.-st. inscript. is at Cambridge; Elizabeth again, bapt. 16 Apr. 1676; Sarah, 8, bapt. 11 Jan. 1680; John, 28, bapt. 29 Jan. 1682, bapt. 22 [[642]] July 1683; and Ann, 20 July 1684, bapt. the same day. He was freem. 1673, belong. to 3d or Thacher's ch. and d. a. 1685, when, as Col. Rec. V. shows, his wid. extrix. had to ask intervent. of the Gen. C. She m. George Monk, the vintner; and outliv. him.

He was sch.-master at £50. a yr. from 1650, and d. 13 Aug. 1667. His wid. Margaret d. 1670. WOODROP, WILLIAM, Lancaster, an eject. min. in Mather's Magn. III. 4, of wh. he tells not. a word. Farmer gave the name Woodroffe, as if he had been progen. of the fam. not sparsely scatter. in our country; but I can hardly think so ill of the spell in the Magn. for Mather must oft. have seen him, and prob. writ. letters to and rec. from him. Hull, in his Diary, furnishes the desira. informat. that he arr. at Boston from Jamaica, 29 Dec. 1674; and he must have found it no easy matter to obt. employm. nor can I trace him again, exc. in the gr. ordina. of Rev. Daniel Gookin at Sherburne, 26 Mar. 1685, when Woodrop's assist. Both Hull and Sewall give the spelling I have substitut. for Farmer's and my only further fact to be told, is that he sail. for Eng. 12 July 1687, no doubt to take advantage of King James's newborn or pretend. favor to dissent. He left no descend. here, prob. had no w. WOODROW, may be an independ. name, but as some of the Woodruff's have this form of spell. I have chosen to combine the two. WOODRUFF, WOODROW, WOODROFFE, or WOODROOFE, BENJAMIN, Salem 1660-78, by w. Rebecca had Mary, b. 21 Apr. 1660; and his w. d. 2 June 1663, and he may have been br. of Joseph. JOHN, Southampton, L.

JOHN, Farmington, s. of Matthew, d. 1692, his will being of 18 Apr. and inv. so soon aft. as 16 May foll. when seven ch. are nam. and their ages are giv. but wh. was the mo. or when she was m. does not appear. The eldest was Mary, w. of John Root, 25; John, 23; Hannah, 21; Phebe, 16; Joseph, 13; Margaret, 10, wh. was bapt. 23 Apr. 1682; and Abigail, 8, bapt. 30 Mar. 1684. Lambert places him at Milford 1685, but prob. without good reason. He was propound. for freem. as early as 1663. JOSEPH, Salem, may have been the name of him wh. m. Rebecca, d. of the wid. of William Canterbury, and had Joseph and Mary, and the f. whether Joseph or other name, was d. as also was his w. in July 1684. JOSEPH, Farmington, m.

Samuel, b. 26 Aug. 1661; was freem. prob. 1657, and d. 1682, his will being dat. 6 Sept. and pro. Dec. foll. In it he ment. w. three s. and d. Hannah Seymour, w. of the sec. Richard, only; but the Ct. supplied the deficience of his mem. in favor of Elizabeth wh. had m. 1678, John Broughton of Northampton. MATTHEW, Farmington, s. of the preced. m. 16 June 1668, Mary Plum, d. of Robert of Milford, and there had Matthew, b. 1669; Mary, 1670; John, 1673; Sarah, 1674; Samuel, 1677; Elizabeth 1679; Hannah, 1681; all liv. in 1704, to take share of their mo. in est. of gr.f. He was propound. for freem. 1671. Aft. d. of his the first, he ret. to F. and took sec. w. Sarah, d. of John North, had Nathaniel, May 1687 (one of the first sett. at Litchfield, and there perpet. the name); and Joseph, bapt. 19 May 1689; and d. Nov. 1691. His wid. d. in the winter foll. NATHANIEL, in Trumbull's Col. Rec. I. 88, and 298, I doubt not, is misreading for the first Matthew. SAMUEL, Farmington, youngest s. of the first Matthew, m. 1686, Rebecca, d. of John Clark, had Samuel, b. 20 Jan. bapt. 6 Mar. 1687; Jonathan, 30 Nov. bapt. 2 Dec. 1688; Rebecca, 4, bapt. 8 Feb. 1691; Ruth, 15, bapt. 26 Feb. 1693; Ebenezer, 24 Dec. 1694, bapt. 3 Feb. foll.; and Daniel, 2, bapt. 8 Nov. 1696; rem. to Southington, there had David, b. 27 Feb. 1699; Hezekiah, 9 Aug. 1701; Rachel, 20 Nov. 1703; Abigail, 26 Feb. 1706; and John, 5 Apr. 1708; and d. 1742.

WOODWARD, AMOS, Cambridge, s. of George of the same, freem. 1677, d. 9 Oct. 1679, aged 38 yrs. as his gr.-st. tells, but from his nuncup. will, we do not learn that his w.

Ann, d. of William Beamsley, had Sarah, b. 21 Jan. 1654; Ann, 14 July 1653; Margaret, 24 Feb. 1656; and Elizabeth 12 Oct. 1657; unless the date of the first ch. in Geneal. Reg. IX. 252, should be error for 1652; beside Prudence, 4 Apr. 1660. He was of Ipswich 1678, when he took the o. of alleg. and there had Martha, 3 May 1662; Mary, 8 Dec. 1664; Ezekiel, 9 Aug. 1666; and Rachel, 20 Jan. 1669.

GEORGE, is the name of a fishmonger from St. Botolph's, Billingsgate, London, permit. to emb. in the [[644]] Hopewell, 1635, aged 35, or in the Rebecca, for I must suppose the same man to be intend. as the yrs. are the same, and the transact. in the same week, as told in the custom-ho. rec. by 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 254, and 256. Of him, as nothing more is heard, we may presume he soon went home, and perhaps his visit was only for purpose of trade. GEORGE, Watertown 1641, s. of Richard of the same, with wh. he came from Ipswich, Co. Suffolk, in the Elizabeth, 1634, aged 13, by w.

Whether he obt. ano. parish is not heard, and by the Coll. Catal. he liv. to 1746. JOHN, Sudbury, perhaps s. of John the first, in his will of 2 Oct. 1736, ment. s. John and Daniel, and gr.d. Susanna Haines. JOSEPH, Providence 1676, there had liv. thro. Philip's war. NATHANIEL, Boston, a mathematician and surveyor, employ. as our Col. Rec. I. 237, shows, to run the line, 1638, betw. Plymouth Col. and Mass. and Mass. and Conn. Afterwards he was sent to the Merrimac survey. See Winthrop I. 284. It [[646]] is great mortificat. that we kn. not any thing of this fam. exc. that he had s. John, and Robert, of course, b. in Eng. allow. to have lots in Boston 1637. NATHANIEL, Boston 1633, perhaps s. of the preced. but on join. the ch. 1 Dec. of that yr. is ca.ll. serv. to our br. William Coddington, and possib. brot. by him that yr. when he ret. from Eng. was freem. 17 Apr. 1637, by w. Mary had Elisha, bapt. 21 Apr. 1644, a. 6 days old; Nathaniel, 12 Apr. 1646, a. 7 days old; and prob. other ch. but perhaps he rem. for in 1648, he sold dwell.-ho. and garden to John Langdon. PETER, Dedham, freem. 18 May 1642, brot. a fam. of wh. the names of founr may be prob. found in the rec. Peter, William, Rebecca, wh. m. 1666, Thomas Fisher, and Ann, wh. d. in that yr. He was rep. 1665, 9, and 70, but strange. miscall. 1669, Woodwine. He d. 9 May 1685, as the date of 11 May may be understood as that of the bur. from Sewall's Diary in Geneal. Reg. VI. 72. But when he calls him f. of the min. we must infer that he intends William. PETER, Dedham, prob. s. of the preced. by w. Mehitable, had Willim, b. 1 Jan. 1669; Ann, 2 Feb. 1670; John, 10 Sept. 1671, H.

Possib. he was b. in Eng. and his d. on 15 Feb. 1721, is noted as of the aged P. W. RALPH, Hingham, was of Dublin 1635, came in 1637, was freem. Mar. 1638, deac. ord. 2 Feb. 1640, says Lincoln, was honor. by our governm. 1649, with a commiss. to solemn. m. RICHARD, Watertown, came in the Elizabeth, from Ipswich, 1634, aged 45, with w. Rose, 50, and two ch. George and John, ea. 13, if we accept the custom.-ho. papers, was freem. 2 Sept. 1635. His w. d. 6 Oct. 1662, aged a. 80 yrs. says the rec. with the usual tendency to exagger. and he d. 16 Feb. 1665; but first he m. 18 Apr. 1663, Ann, wid. of Stephen Gates of Cambridge, wh. d. 5 Feb. 1683. ROBERT, Boston, carpenter, s. of the first Nathaniel, by w.

His wid. m. 7 July 1654, Thomas Harwood. ROBERT, Boston, s. of the preced. was k. in Philip's war at Pocasset, 1675. SMITH, Dorchester, perhaps s. of Robert, had w.

His ch. were Sarah, bapt. 11 Sept. 1692; Thankful, 24 Dec. 1693; Mary, 15 Dec. 1695; Deliverance, 16 Jan. 1698; Ebenezer and Abigail, tw. 19 Nov. 1699; all in right of their mo. for he was adm. of the ch. not bef. 1701, aft. wh. were bapt. John, prob. 29 Mar. 1702; Silence, 20 June 1703; Submit, 10 Dec. 1704; Samuel, 12 Jan. 1707; and Abigail, [[647]] 1 June 1712. THOMAS, Boston, carpenter, rem. to Roxbury, m. 7 Mar. 1660, Mary, d. of William Goose of Charlestown, had Thomas; Esther, both bapt. 1 May 1664, the f. hav. join. the ch. in the preced. mo.; Hannah, 14 May 1665; Elizabeth 30 June 1667; Mary, 17 Jan. 1669; Rachel, 27 Nov. 1670; Robert, 19 Oct. 1673; and Mehitable, 29 Apr. 1675; and he d. Oct. 1685, says Farmer, trust. the town rec. wh. I distr. because it ment. not the day of d. contains not a single name of the childr. and the ch. rec. of bur. or d. is 10 Sept. evidently nearer to a contempo. authority. WILLIAM, Dedham, perhaps s. of Peter the first, was a "min. of the gosp." d. at D. 26 June 1669, as by the Roxbury ch. rec. is told, and the Diary of John Hull calls him "a young but powerful preach." Of this name Farmer notes, that in 1834, twenty-one had been gr. at N. E. coll. of wh. I count ten at Dartm. five at Yale, four at Harv. WOODWELL, JOHN, Salem, wh. admin. 7 July 1701, on est. of his br. JOSHUA, was s. of MATTHEW, a seaman, in 1661, when ment. of him is first seen but later is call. brickmaker, in 1671 had w. Mary, and names her in his will of 28 Dec. 1690, pro. 30 June foll. with ch. Samuel, b. 3 Oct. 1659; John, 9 May 1665; Matthew, 4 Dec. 1668; Joshua; Mary, 3 Feb. 1662; Margaret, 4 Aug. 1671; Elizabeth 5 May 1674; and Dorcas. But Mary prob. d. young; and he had Mary, again, 26 Nov. 1677. Elizabeth was a witness allow. to sw. to ridicul. nonsense, or impertin. falsehood in the witchcr. trials of 1692. MATTHEW, Salem, s. of the preced. left wid. Ann to admin. his est. 11 Apr. 1702. SAMUEL, Salem, prob. eldest br. of the preced. by w. Thomasine, had Jonathan, b. 5 Apr. 1693, who prob. d. soon for, from his will of 25 Nov. 1697, pro. 10 Jan. foll. we find that he left wid. Thomasine, ch. Samuel, b. 14 Jan. 1685; Daniel, 17 Nov. 1697; and the f. d. in four days aft. John, 2 July 1687; Gideon, 30 Jan. 1689; Joseph, 25 Sept. 1690; Benjamin, 28 Dec. 1691; Elizabeth and David. Mr. Felt confid. assures me that this is a differ. name from Wardwell or Wardell. WOODWORTH, BENJAMIN, Scituate, s. of Walter of the same, had Elizabeth Deborah, Abigail, and Robert, and d. in Philip's war. HENRY , the freem. of 10 May 1643, of wh. no diligence has discov. the resid. or anything more. Farmer here introd. the name of Recompense Woodsworth, on Middlesex rec. call. A. B. wh. d. 12 July 1679; but this must be double error, prob. for Recompense Wadsworth, and certain. for the coll. honor. In the Catal. such a surname has never yet appear. and bef. 1680 the only instance of the bapt. name is, 1661, with Osborn; and in the foll. generat. is attach. to a Boston Wadsworth. JOHN, Taunton, had Nathaniel, b. 31 July 1679. JOSEPH, Scituate, s. of the first Walter of the same, prob. youngest, m. 1669, Sarah, d. of Charles Stockbridhe of the same, had Joseph, b. 1670; Mary, 1673; Benjamin, 1676; Sarah, 1678; Elizabeth 1680; Eunice, 1682; Abigail, 1685; and Ruth, 1688. THOMAS, Scituate, br. of the preced. m. 1666, Deborah Daman, prob. d. of John of the same, had Deborah, b. 1667; Hezekiah, [[648]] 1671; and Catharine, 1673. WALTER, Scituate 1640, had Benjamin; Walter; Thomasma; and Joseph; Mary, wh. m. 1677, Aaron Simons; Martha, wh. m. 1679, Zachary Damon; and Mehitable, wh. suffer. from witchcraft. WALTER, Scituate, s. of the preced. prob. eldest, left, says Deane, Mary, b. 1658; Mehitable, 1662; and Ebenezer, 1664. WOOLCOT. See Wolcott. WOOLLEN, or WOOLEN, JOHN, New Haven 1642, was imprison. next yr. by the Swedes at Delaware, as he was there trad. in the river, agent for Capt. Lamberton. WOOLER, EDWARD, is the name of a man found by Coffin, among the rec. of Essex, or the tempora. Co. of Norfolk, of wh. all he tells is, that in 1658 he was 34 yrs. old. WOOLERY, or WOOLSWORTH, RICHARD, Newbury 1678, when he was 30 yrs. old, a weaver, whose name being occupied in Geneal. Reg. VII. 349, as Woolpoorle, call. for indignant remonstr. in the ensuing No. of that periodic. from Mr. Coffin, m. 24 Dec. 1678, Hannah Huggins, had a d. b. 1 Feb. 1680, d. very soon; Hannah, 10 Feb. 1681; and Mary, 22 Feb. 1683. In 1685 he was of Suffield, there had Elizabeth b. 29 Sept. of that yr. and ano. d. Abia, 16 Sept. 1691; and his w. d. 30 July of the same yr. a contradict. in the rec. that my seem easily reconcil. but it is of little conseq. whether the d. was b. 30 July, for she d. on 19 Oct. foll. and he d. 1696. His d. Hannah, tho. so young, was allow. to present. inv. wh. prob. was very small. Yet possib. an inf. s. was left, for in 1732, a Richard W. is at S. WOOLEY, or WOOLLY, sometimes WOLLEY, CHRISTOPHER, Concord 1666. EMANUEL, Newport, on the freemen's list 1655, by w. Elizabeth had Adam, b. Mar. 1654; Edward, Dec. 1655; Elizabeth and Mary, tw. Nov. 1657; John, Oct. 1659; William, 15 Sept. 1662; Ruth, 12 Oct. 1664; Grace, Apr. 1666; and Joseph, May 1668; is nam. in Rh. Is. Hist. Coll. III. 251. ROBERT, Fairfield 1649 and 53, rem. soon aft. to parts unkn. WOOLRIDGE, or WOOLRYCH, JOHN, Dorchester 1630, perhaps came in the Mary and John, at least on 19 Oct. of that yr. desir. to be adm. freem. and as he did not appear in May foll. to take the requisite o. when. ch. membership was not demand. as qualificat. I conject. that he had gone home, there found a w. Sarah, with wh. coming again, 1632, to our country, it seems they sat down at Charlestown, there join. the ch. 15 Mar. 1633, and he was made freem. 4 Mar. 1634, then by the Secr. on his rec. dignif. with prefix of Mr. was rep. 1635, and I regret to say, that no more of him is kn. so that it may be thot. that he went home. MICHAEL, Fairfield 1674, of wh. no more is told me, exc. that he was apparent. unm. [[649]] WOOLSON, JOSEPH, Watertown, s. of the first Thomas of the same, by w. Hannah had Joseph, b. 13 Dec. 1699; Mary, 13 Sept. 1701; Hannah, 8 Aug. 1704; Thankful, 3 June 1708; Isaac, 17 Feb. 1711; and Beulah, 1 Mar. 1714; made his will 27 Nov. 1751, and d. 16 May 1755. THOMAS, Watertown 1660, the freem. of 1690, had been of Cambridge 1653, m. 20 Nov. 1660, Sarah, d. of deac. Samuel Hyde of C. had Sarah, b. 1661, wh. m. 30 Sept. 1680, Thomas Bond; Thomas, 28 Feb. 1667; Elizabeth 30 Apr. 1688, m. 3 Nov. 1686, John Howe; Mary, 28 Nov. 1673; Joseph, 16 Nov. 1677; perhaps Nathaniel; and d. 1713; had gr. of ld. 300 acres, in 1685, for mak. good a gr. bef. 1682, when the Ct. refus. to accept the survey, bec. it gave more ld. than was intend. This seems to throw discredit on the knowl. or honesty of the officer. Bond thinks the name may have been Wilson, as sometimes he found it. THOMAS, Watertown, s. of the preced. m. a. 1693, Elizabeth d. of John Chadwick, had John, b. 8 July 1694; Elizabeth 17 Aug. 1698; and Jonas. WOORY, WOOREY, or WOORIE, RALPH, Charlestown, leather-dresser, came to dwell there 1640, by w. Margaret had John, b. 13 June 1641; and Abel, prob. a tw. if allowance for an easy error in Geneal. Reg. IV. 270, be made; and Hannah, 8 Mar. 1644. He join. the ch. 4 Nov. 1643, but was never sw. as freem. and the ment. of his ho. is found 1657. I can tell no more. WOOSTER, WOSTER, or WORSTER, ABRAHAM, Stratford, s. of Edward, m. 22 Nov. 1697, Mary Walker, had Abraham; Ruth, b. 26 Sept. 1700; Joseph, 16 Jan. 1702; Sarah, 2 Apr. 1705; Mary, 3 Apr. 1707; Hannah, 23 Feb. 1709; and David, 2 Mar. 1710. DAVID, Drby, br. of the preced. left w. Mary to admin. upon his est. 29 May 1711, for three ch. Jerusha, then 9 yrs. old; Persis, 7; and Tamar, 1. EBENEZER, Stratford, s. of Edward, m. it is said.

WILLIAM, Salisbury, the first min. there, is suppos. to have come in 1639, and Mr. Coffin thot. he was from Salisbury, Co. Wilts, but the late historian of that city in 1842, aft. investigat. for me, found no trace of him, and add. "I think W. is not a Salisbury name." He had been min. in Eng. if the Magn. classif. be correct, yet nowhere have I seen the place of his educ. ment. but he brot. w. Sarah, and ch. Susanna, Samuel, and William; had here, prob. Sarah, wh. d. 1 Apr. 1641; Sarah, again, b. 4 Apr. 1641, d. soon; Timothy, 14 May 1642; Moses, 10 Nov. 1643; Sarah, again, 22 June 1646, d. young; Elizabeth 10 Mar. or 9 Apr. 1648, d. 9 Mar. foll.; and Elizabeth again, 9 Jan. 1650.

A passeng. in the Speedwell from London to Boston, 1657, was Rebecca W. aged 18, of wh. neither by accid. nor research have I learn. any thing more. Farmer in MS. noted, that in 1834 of this name were gr. seven at Harv. five at Dartm. two at Yale, and four at other N. E. coll. besides six with spell. of Wooster. WORDEN, ISAAC, came in the Increase, emb. at London in Apr. 1635, aged 18, call. in the cledar. from the custom-ho. serv. but to wh. or where he sat down is unkn.

The wid. of 29 Oct. 1759, in the 72d yr. of her age, says Goodwin, p. 272; and there is very good reason to judge by rec. of her b. in Geneal. Reg. IV. 140, that she was past 82.

Thankful Taylor, to have had Benjamin, three other s. and five ds. but many points of informat. beside dates, are omit. To make perfect the acco. of him, I add that his first w.

To supply the deficiencies as well as to correct the errors, of that notice, we may learn from the highest authority, that the m. refer. to, was on 19 Dec. 1691, and that the first issue of it was Experience, b. 20 Aug. foll. wh. d. next mo.; the next, Obadiah, 26 July 1693, not 1695; Experience, again, 1695; Noah, 29 Nov. of the yr. above; Clemence, 4 Nov. of the yr. above; Elisha, in May of the yr. above; Esther, 6 May 1708; and Mary, 8 May 1711. but the striking omiss. is of the first w.

Elizabeth had Mary, b. 1 Apr. 1635; and Samuel, 14 Feb. 1637. Of him, as no more is seen in the rec. it is safely conject. that he rem. but whither is uncert. One HENRY was a soldier of Turner's comp. in 1676. HENRY, Springfield, s. of the first Abel of the same, m. 1705, Hannah, youngest d. of John Bliss of the same, had Hannah, b. 18 May 1706; Henry, 9 Jan. 1708, wh. was k. 26 July foll. by the Ind. wh. at the same time, carr. away his w. and soon k. her.

He d. 1723. Between this acco. and that of Geneal. Reg. IV. 358, some discrepance appears, but the correct vers. is here obey. * JOHN, Woburn 1641, had been of Charlestown, and there was one of the project. thirty-two in numb. for settlem. of the new ch. and town, freem. 1643, had John; Ruth, b. 23 Apr. 1646; Deborah, 21 Jan. 1649; and Sarah, 16 Feb. 1653; rep. 1648.

JOHN, Watertown, freem. 1690. An alderman of Boston, Co. Lincoln, in 1630, was nam. John Wright, and may reasonab. be suppos. to have descend. here. JOSEPH, Wethersfield, s. of the first Thomas of the same, freem. 1667, by fam. tradit. is said to have had two ws.

Of this w. I suppose, was b. 23 Feb. 1671, a creature, minutely describ. Farmer MS. says in p. 33 of Incr. Mather's Hist. Ind.

For ano. w. he had Ruth, wid. of John Center, and she d. 18 Feb. 1717, aged 60, if the gr.-st. be true; but I have a memo. slightly inconsist. that the rem. to Charlestown, and m. 7 July 1692, Elizabeth Bateman; wh. may seem very prob. bec. 2 Nov. 1686 his d.

NICHOLAS, Sandwich 1643, had been of Lynn 1637. PETER, Sandwich 1643, had rem. to that place 1638. My conject. is that he was br. of Nicholas; and in his MS. collect. for new edit. Farmer had noted, that he had s. Adam, b. 20 Mar. 1650, wh. prob. sett. at Oyster Bay, L. I. RICHARD, Lynn, perhaps as early as 1630, certain. in 1632, one of the Comtee. of that town to confer with two others of ca. town in advis. the Gov. and Assist. a rais. a public stock, freem. 14 May 1634, was of Boston 1636 or earlier, being No. 89 of the ch. so that it may well seem to be a differ. man. The Boston man had ld. at Mount Wollaston, and was call. capt. He there had a mill, wh. with forty acres, he gave, in 1640, to Thomas Dudley, as price of five cows. I hope he had a good bargain, but it seems a hard one. Prob. he liv. sometime at Dorchester, aft. 1636. RICHARD, Plymouth 1643, had Esther, b. 1649; and Isaac, 26 Aug. 1662. RICHARD, Rehoboth 1644.

SAMUEL, Springfield, youngest adult s. of the first Abel of the same, m. 1710, Mary Case of Lebanon, and in 1724 liv. at Norwich. THOMAS, Exeter 1639. THOMAS, Wethersfield 1639,. may have been earlier at Watertown, or other Mass. settlem. brot. from Eng. w. and ch. sev. perhaps, had more on this side of the water. For sec. w. by wh. he had no ch. he took Margaret, wid. of John Elson (wh. had been wid. of Hilliard, perhaps Hugh, and had s. Benjamin, Job, and John H.) He was much engag. 1658 in the controv. a. Rev. John Russell; and d. Apr. 1670. Of his ch. Samuel, James, Thomas, Joseph, Lydia, it is very diffic. to make any arrangem. of dates. Chapin, p. 179, adds to these a Mary. The wid. d. 1671; and the d. Lydia d. bef. he came to W. m. Joseph Smith. THOMAS, Wethersfield, s. perhaps eldest, of the preced. freem. 1654, d. 23 Aug. 1683, leav. good est. to ch.

He w. d. 3 June 1684, and he m. 9 Sept. foll. Elizabeth with a surname to be reject. on [[661]] wh. the contribut. of that valua. rec. in Geneal. Reg. III. 67, wrote to me, shortly aft. its publicat. in 1849; "Is not his name, Sadir, a strange one? I could, however, made nothing else out of it, unless I call it Sadie." Resort to conject. would be unjustifiab. as the orig. may be turn. to, but I doubt the first letter more than the last. If some undiscip. eye assail the MS. he may scrutinize each letter, and if the initial seem an S, other letters may turn out adler, or any thing exc. Sadir. WILLIAM, Plymouth, came in the Fortune, 1621, had w. Priscilla, but by his will of 16 Sept. 1633, might seem to have no ch. at least to her he gives all. WILLIAM, Sandwich, whose rec. of bur. 2 May 1648 is all that is told of him. WILLIAM, Boston 1670. In 1834 Farmer count. ten gr. of this name at Yale, eight at Harv. four at Dartm. and thirteen at other N. E. coll. WROTHAM, or WROTHOM, SIMON, Farmington 1653, freem. 1654, by w. Sarah had three ch. Elizabeth wh. m. 5 Nov. 1679, Thomas Newell; Susanna, wh. m. 25 Nov. 1679, Samuel Hough; and Simon. His w. d. 16 Nov. 1684, and he made his will 1686, but liv. to Nov. 1689. The s. Simon d. unm. Jan. 1695, and the name is extinct. WYARD, JOHN, Wethersfield, m. 1681, Sarah Standish, perhaps d. of Thomas, had Lois, b. 1682; John, 1684; Thomas, 1686; Eunice, 1688; Jonathan, 1690; and Sarah; was selectman, 1692. ROBERT, Boston 1662, Hartford 1666, may have been f. of the preced. d. 11 Sept. 1682, leav. wid. and prob. childr. Sometimes this name is Wiard, Wyer, or Wier. WYATT, WIAT, or WYAT, EDWARD, Dorchester, freem. 1645, liv. in 1667, had w. Mary, wh. d. 6 Feb. 1706, aged 92, a wid. wh. had been instrumental for bring. into the world more than 1,100 ch. as told in Blake's Ann. 37. He was f. of Nathaniel, and of Waitstill, wh. m. Capt. Thomas Vose, and almost equal. her mo. in age. See Geneal. Reg. X. 294. ISRAEL, Hatfield, youngest s. of John of Haddam, m. 1690, Sarah Pratt, perhaps d. of the third John of Hartford, had Sarah, b. 1693; Israel, and Susanna, tw. 1696, of wh. Israel d. soon; Israel, again, 1700; and Hannah, 1703; rem. to Colchester, and prob. had other ch. bef. or aft. * JAMES, Taunton 1643, was a lieut. rep. 1652-60, and d. July 1664. JOHN, Ipswich 1638, d. 1665, as Coffin inform. Farmer. JOHN, Windsor, sold his rights there 1649, and rem. to Farmington, where he had m. Mary, d. of John Bronson, had Mary, b. 1648; John, 1650; Hepzibah, 1652; all bapt. 23 Oct. 1653; Dorcas, bapt. 4 Feb. 1655; Sarah, 20 Mar. 1659; Joanna, or Hannah, 1663; Elizabeth 1665; and Israel, Mar. 1668; and d. in Sept. of that yr. prob. as his inv. of 7 of that mo. is of rec. with ages of the ch. His wid. m. 1669, [[662]] John Graves of Hatfield, and next lieut. William Alis, and last Samuel Gaylord. Sarah m. 1679, Isaac Graves; Joanna m. 28 June 1683, Joseph Field; Elizabeth m. 1685, Samuel Gunn, all of Hatfield. JOHN, Woodbury, perhaps eldest s. of the preced. serv. in the Ind. wars 1676 and 7, as in sev. places of Trumbull's Conn. Rec. II. Cothren, p. 754, tells that he came from Stratford, and had Gershom, bapt. 16 Feb. 1680; Sarah, Feb. 1682, Elizabeth Aug. 1685; and Mercy, Apr. 1688. NATHANIEL, Drochester, s. of Edward, m. Elizabeth d. of Robert Spurr of the same, had Nathaniel and Edward, both bapt. 13 Apr. 1684; and Jonathan and Rebecca, both bapt. 19 Oct. foll. perhaps none was tw. but all brot. to the ordin. in right of their mo. Farmer, MS. names THOMAS of New Hampsh. wh. d. 1670, but that is the whole of his story. WYBORNE, WIBORNE, WEYBORNE, WIBURN, or WYBURN, JAMES, Boston, d. 7 Mar. 1659, says Farmer; but of him I kn. nothing, but that he was s. of the first Thomas, nam. in his will, and prob. unm. JOHN, Boston, younger br. of the preced. rem. to Scituate, there, as Deane shows, had John, b. 1670; but Deane, 384, borrows, from Thomas, Abigail, and other ch. On rem. from B. he gave, by deed of 1671, his prop. then in B. to his mo. Elizabeth Fitch. THOMAS, Scituate, had come in the Castle, 1638, from Tenterden, Co. Kent, as from the will of Peter Branch in Geneal. Reg. II. 183, is presum. It seems to be that of a fellow-passeng. commit. only ch. under ten yrs. of age to the care of W. wh. had a S. Thomas, James, Elizabeth wh. also was the name of his w. and John and Mary; rem. to Boston bef. 1653, there prob. had Jonathan, wh. d. 10 Dec. of that yr. and Nathaniel, b. 12 Mar. 1655; and d. 2 Oct. 1656. By his will of 12 Sept. preced. pro. 28 Oct. foll. we learn most of the particulars a. the ch. and that he own. half of the windmill in B. wh. he gave to his w. and names three elder s. and two ds. beside Deborah, the inf. d. of his d. Elizabeth wh. had m. 3 Apr. 1655, John Merrick. Of the will, Thomas, and James, the two eldest s. were made excors. and Edward Tyng, and John Hull, his friends, were made overseers. In a note of Geneal. Reg. VI. 289, where is giv. abstr. of this will, the Editor doubts, that the s. Nathaniel was s. of the jr. not sen. Thomas, but in the rec. the name of the mo. is Elizabeth THOMAS, Boston, s. prob. of the preced. m. 16 Dec. 1657, Abigail, d. of the first Jacob Eliot, had Abigail, b. 6 Jan. 1659; and Thomas, 2 Apr. 1660. By w. Ruth, he had Thomas, 10 Aug. 1663; and John, 25 Sept. 1665; and soon aft. rem. to Scituate. WYER, or WIER, EDWARD, Charlestown 1658, came from Scotland, m. 5 Jan. 1659, Elizabeth Johnson, d. of William of the same, had Elizabeth b. 10 Nov. foll.; Edward; Robert; and Hannah, all bapt. 23 July 1665; Catharine, 9 Dec. 1666; [[663]] Nathaniel, 21 June 1668; Ruhamah, 25 Dec. 1670; Eleazer, 15 Dec. 1672; Zechariah, 26 Mar. 1676; Sarah, 4 July 1680; and William, 3 Oct. foll.; yet as we find neither f. nor mo. of these inf. to be adm. of Charlestown ch. in Buddington's list, we must choose to consider that good Mr. Symmes had poor rec. or ano. ch. must be presum. to wh. one or the other of the parents belong. He d. 3 May 1693, aged 71, says gr.-st. NATHANIEL, Newbury 1637, rem. aft. not a few yrs. prob. to Nantucket, had w. Sarah, and d. Mary, wh. m. it is said, John Swain; and he d. 1 Mar. 1681. PETER, York 1640 or earlier, adm. freem. of Mass. 1652, made Clk. of the writs. 1665, and reorder of the Province, by the commiss. of our Gen. Ct. 1668; and he must be the same as Weare.

WYLEY, WEYLEY, WILLEY, WYLIE, or WILEY, JOHN, Reading, may be the passeng. in the Elizabeth and Ann, aged 25, from London, in May 1635, of wh.

He own. some ld. at New Haven, and may have liv. there two or three yrs. and even have had Joseph there, as on p. 24 of the "Yale fam." is presum. tho. to me is seems not prob. how Farmer was led to make him freem. 1640, is strange, for his name is not on the list, nor was he a mem. of the ch. of B. but he sympathiz. with the oppon. of our commun. wh. prob. induc. him to abandon our country. Gov. Hopkins wh. had m. his sis. Ann, in his will, made at London, 17 Mar. 1657, left him L200. ELIHU, New Haven, s. of the first Thomas, as Dr. Stiles positively says, tho. in more recent times, some at New Haven have doubted it, and offer very good presumpt. that he was s. of David, quot. the entry of the Merch. Taylor's sch. in London, where he was adm. 1 Sept. 1662, went home in his youth, and a. 1678, preceed. to the E. Indies, there resid. twenty yrs. and went home with large est. and three ds. two of wh. m. into noble fams. and he d. in London, 22 July 1721. His monum. is at Wrexham, in Co. Denbigh, bordering on Cheshire. The assid. antiquary, N. B. Shurtleff, in Geneal. Reg. IV. 245, in a brief, but comprehens. notice, slightly varying from Stiles, that is giv. in note to Winthrop II. 217, shows how he was Gov. of the E. I. comp. and by his munificent legacy gain. the endur. credit, of founder of the flourish. instit. of Yale College in his native city. JOHN, New Haven, eldest s. of Thomas of the same, is in the list of proprs. 1685, and that was all that could be seen of him bef. the appear. of the Geneal. 1850, by a descend. of the same ancest. In that tract we learn, that, by w. Rebecca, whose surname is not told, he had John, b. 3 June 1694, when both parents had acquir. mature age (and of this s. it is carefully told, [[667]] that he d. 11 Dec. 1711, aged 17 yrs. 6 mos. and 7 ds); Elihu, 30 Mar. 1696; Abigail, 16 Nov. 1697; and David, 8 Oct. 1699; and d. 16 Dec. 1711, so few days aft. his s. of the same name, aged 65. His wid. d. 17 Oct. 1734, aged 78. NATHANIEL, New Haven, s. of Thomas of the same, was a propr. 1685, but little more was kn. of him, until in the fam. geneal. it is relat. that he m. 21 Oct. 1692, Ruth, d. of Hon. James Bishop, had David, b. 25 Sept. 1693; James, 31 July 1695, d. at 4 yrs.; Ann, 21 Aug. 1697; and Nathaniel, 31 Dec. 1702; and d. 29 Oct. 1730. His wid. d. June 1738 or 9, the Geneal. leav. the yr. uncert. THEOPHILUS, Boston, s. of David of the same, had very slight connex. I believe, at any time, with his native place, exc. that, in 1675, he advanc. passage-money for Edward Kidder, a shoemaker of Derbysh. to come over, wh. should serve therefor four yrs. THOMAS, New Haven, s. of David, b. in Wales, came prob. in 1637 to Boston, with Theophilus Eaton, wh. had m. for his sec. w. the wid. mo. of Thomas, and with his f.-in-law, went in 1638 to plant at New Haven; there sign. the planta. covenant, 1639, m. Mary, eldest d. of Capt. Nathaniel Turner, had John, b. a. 1645; Thomas, a. 1646; Elihu, said by Dr. Stiles to have been b. 5 Apr. 1648, but some doubt, whether he was s. of Thomas, or even b. in New Haven, suggest. that he may have been s. of the br. David, or even br. but the town rec. contains not the b. of either of the three; Mary, 16 Oct. 1650; Nathaniel, 3 Jan. 1653; Martha, 6 May 1655, bapt. 18 Mar. 1660, wh. d. under 16 yrs.; Abigail, 5 May 1660, bapt. perhaps, 22 July foll.; Hannah, 6 July 1662; and Elizabeth 29 Jan. 1667; was rep. 1672, and d. 27 Mar. 1683. His est. by inv. of 7 May foll. was L479. and in 1684 it was distrib. to the wid. three s. (Elihu not nam. but he may have declin. to partake) and four ds. of wh. Mary had m. Jan. 1673, Joseph Ives; Hannah, m. 9 May 1682, Enos Talmadge; and Elizabeth m. 30 July 1688, Joseph Pardee. His wid. d. 15 Oct. 1704. THOMAS, New Haven, s. of the preced. was made freem. 1668, m. 11 Dec. 1667, Rebecca, d. of William Gibbard, had Hannah, b. 27 July 1669; and rem. to Wallingford, had there Rebecca, 2 Oct. 1671; Elizabeth 25 July 1673; Theophilus, 13 Nov. 1675; Thomas, 20 Mar. 1679; Nathaniel, 12 July 1681; Mary, 27 Aug. 1684, d. under 19 yrs.; and John, 8 Dec. 1687; took sec. w. 8 Feb. 1689, Sarah, d. of John Nash, wh. d. 27 May 1716, and he took third w. 31 July foll. but had no ch. by either, and d. 26 Jan. 1736. YARDLEY, JOHN, Braintree 1688, as found by Felt. YATES, FRANCIS, Wethersfield, rem. 1641 to Stamford, says Hinman, but I judge him the same wh. was of Hempstead 1647, made a freem. of Conn. 1658, and perhaps at last a resid. at West Chester, in the prov. of New York, where he made his will, 1682, pro. and rec. in N. Y. [[668]] by wh. are nam. five ch. Mary, John, Dinah, Jonathan, and Dorothy. GEORGE, made freem. of Conn. 1658, may have been br. of the preced. HENRY, Guilford 1669, there d. Jan. 1705, in his will giv. all his prop. to the ch. and to deac. John Meigs,and thus we may assume tho. the amount was only L61. that he had no w. nor ch. JOHN, Duxbury, by w. Mary had John, b. 15 Aug. 1650; perhaps rem. to Eastham, and d. soon, for his wid. m. Oct. 1651, Richard Higgins of E. JOHN, Eastham, perhaps s. of the preced. m. 11 Jan. 1700, Abigail Rogers, prob. d. of Lieut. James. One JOHN, perhaps the same, if the spell. of the name on the roster, Yeates, may mean the same (as in the Boston rec. we call Yeale, Yale), was a soldier in Moseley's comp. Dec. 1675. WILLIAM is the name of a passeng. aged 14, in the Abigail from London 1635, of wh. no more is kn. YEALES, TIMOTHY, Weymouth, m. at Boston, Naomi, d. of George Frye of W. had Ann, b. 25 Apr. 1673, d. prob. young; Ann, again, 7 May 1679; and Nehemiah, 17 Sept. 1689; perhaps others. YELINGS, ROGER, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 30 Aug. 1680; and David, 12 Aug. 1682. YELL, or YEAL, JOHN, Ipswich, m. says Mr. Felt, 27 July 1690, Joanna Smith, had Elizabeth b. 15 June 1691; and John, 20 June 1694; and d. 20 Jan. 1701. YEO, or YOW, SAMUEL, I find in the Essex rec. 1653, as is also ALLEN; but the name is giv. Yew, and sometimes is spell. Yeow, and in Drake's valua. Hist. of Boston, 800, is Yow. THOMAS, Boston, m. Sarah, d. of David Phippen or Phippeny of Hingham, bef. Nov. 1650, as the will of P. calls him s.-in-law, but Elizabeth b. 1 Oct. 1652; and Thomas, 24 Apr. 1654; perhaps more. Our col. Rec. IV. shows that in 1652 he was one of the projectors of the conduit in Ann street, long a valua. supply of pure water, and discontin. in the present century. I think he had a br. Charles, at Bristol, Eng. YEOMANS, EDMUND, Charlestown, by our Col. Rec. III. had w. Susanna, and sold beer in 1650; but he is not seen as a householder there in 1658. He may be the man of Haverhill, 1666, by Coffin, in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 168, call. Edward. EDWARD, Boston, m. 21 June 1652, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Joslin, Jocelin, or Josselin, had Edward, b. 6 May 1657; and perhaps other ch. but he d. not long aft. for his wid. m. 9 May 1662, Edward Kilby. EDWARD and JOHN, early sett. of Plainfield. a. 1700, may have been s. of the preced. YESCUTT, RICHARD, Ipswich, with w. Alice, giv. me by Mr. Felt, prob. came to N. E. too late for adm. in this work. YORK, or YORKE, BENJAMIN, Dover, s. of Richard, prob. of the same, was first tax. there 1677. JAMES, Stonington, had first liv. at [[669]] Braintree, where his s. James was b. 14 June 1648; was freem. of Conn. 1666, but when he d. is not heard. JAMES, Stonington 1670, s. of the preced. freem. 1673, sold the yr. preced. his est. in Boston, and d. early, perhaps in 1678, for his wid. Deborah m. 12 Mar. 1679, Henry Eliot. JOHN, Dover, prob. s. of Richard of the same, took o. of fidel. 1669, had w. Ruth, perhaps was of North Yarmouth 1684. RICHARD, Dover 1648, was prob. f. of Benjamin, Edward, and John, and d. early in 1674, his inv. being of 27 Mar. He left wid. Elizabeth SAMUEL, Gloucester, by w. Hannah had John, b. 1695, but some yrs. bef. had liv. at North Yarmouth. This s. and ano. (Thomas) d. says Babson, 1699, and the f. d. 18 Mar. 1718, aged 73. But in his will he ment. other ch. all prob. elder, Samuel, wh. had three s. Samuel; Benjamin; Richard; beside three m. ds. YOUDALL, PHILIP, Gloucester, of wh. nothing good is told by Babson,and no w. or ch. ment. nor any date giv. by him, 183, exc. that of 1648 in connex. with some offence. YOUNG, CHRISTOPHER, Salem 1638, came from Yarmouth, Co. Norf. by w. Priscilla had Sarah, bapt. 2 Dec. of that yr.; Ruth, Mar. 1641; Judith, 1 Jan. 1643, d. soon; and Christopher, 18 Feb. 1644; and d. at Wenham 1647, betw. 19 June, date of his will, and 8 July, when it was pro. See Essex Inst. II. 6 By our Col. rec. II. 272, it is seen that discretion in our Ct. control the affection of the testator, by wh. he directs his childr. to be sent to Eng. Coffin, in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 169, has some slight variat. from the names and dates, but my bapt. are sure. Sarah m. 20 Mar. 1662, I suppose, John Marsh. DAVID, Eastham, s. of the first John of the same, m. 20 Jan. 1688, Ann, d. of John Doane of the same, had Abigail, b. 28 Dec. foll.; Rebecca, 24 Oct. 1689; Ann, 5 Oct. 1691; Hannah, 6 Sept. 1693; John, 20 Mar. 1695; Priscilla, 26 June 1697; Dorcas, 16 Dec. 1699; David, 25 Sept. 1701; Lois, 2 Nov. 1704; Esther, 16 Nov. 1708; and Henry, 23 Mar. 1711. EDWARD, Boston 1675, a fisherman, perhaps is the same, wh. by Coffin is ment. at Newbury, having w. Hannah, and ch. Thomas, b. 17 Jan. 1691; and Richard, 7 Sept. 1693. GEORGE, Scituate 1660, m. 15 Jan. 1662, Hannah, d. of Thomas Pinson, had Thomas, b. 5 Nov. 1663; Hannah, 1666; Margery, 1669; Elizabeth 1671; and Patience, 1673; as Deane, 393, tells. GILES, Boston, by w. Ruth had Susanna, b. 5 July 1672; and Naomi, 16 Dec. 1680. HENRY, Concord, was of Wheeler's comp. and 2 Aug. 1675, at Brookfield, mort. wound. by the ind. at the same time with Capt. edward Hutchinson. HENRY, Eastham, youngest s. of the first John of the same, by w. Sarah had Martha, b. 28 July 1695; Elizabeth 18 Jan. 1698; Reliance, 3 Mar. 1700; Moses, 15 Nov. 1702; Thomas, 24 Oct. 1705; and the f. d. 26 Apr. foll. JOHN, [[670]] Plymouth 1643, had perhaps the George bef. ment. and John, b. 9 Nov. 1649. JOHN, Salem 1638, rem. prob. to Charlestown, and d. 29 Dec. 1672. JOHN, Eastham, by w. Abigail m. 13 Dec. 1648, had John, b. at Plymouth (where his w. had liv.), 16 Nov. 1649; Joseph, 12 Nov. 1651, d. soon; Joseph, again, dec. 1654; Nathaniel, Apr. 1656; Mary, 28 Apr. 1658; Abigail, Oct. 1660; David, 17 Apr. 1662; Lydia, 1664; Robert, Apr. 1667; Henry, July 1669, d. in few mos.; and Henry, again, 17 Mar. 1672; and d. 29 Jan. 1691. His wid. d. 7 Apr. 1692. Mary m. 3 Mar. 1677, Daniel Smith; and Abigail m. 3 Jan. 1683, Stephen Twining. JOHN, Portsmouth, had John, b. 1649, perhaps others. JOHN, Southold, L. I. 1662, had, perhaps, been of Windsor 1641, whence he rem. bef. 1650, and in that yr. sold his est. at W. was by S. employ as agent to manage affairs with Conn. jurisdict. and Hammond has in his Index, mark. him as rep. but not so print. him in the body of the Vol. was a capt. and so much betrust, by the Gen. Ct. of Conn. that he was made a magistr. over that part of L. I. wh. the people of Conn. hoped to extort from the weakness of the Dutch; and he was, in 1663, by act of the Ct. put in nominat. for an Assist. That he was never chos. was prob. the conseq. of the conquest of N. Y. from the Dutch, and royal gr. to the Duke of York. Oft. this man's name appears in Conn. Col. rec. without the u. and once an addit. es is seen; and I am much inclined to believe that he was s. of the Rev. John Youngs. JOHN, Exeter, perhaps s. of John of Portsmouth, took o. of alleg. 1677, was k. by the Ind. 10 June 1697. JOHN, Eastham, eldest s. of John of the same, m. Ruth, d. of Daniel Cole of the same. JOSEPH, Salem 1638, of wh. I kn. only that he was one of a Comtee. in early days, to adjust the line of boundary betw. S. and Ipswich. See Col. Rec. II. JOSEPH, Eastham, br. of the preced. m. 23 Oct. 1679, Sarah Davis, prob. d. of Robert of Barnstable, had Samuel, b. 23 Sept. 1680; Joseph and Isaac, tw. 19 Dec. 1682; James, 4 Apr. 1685; and perhaps others. MATTHEW, Hartford, apprent. of William Williams to learn the trade of a cooper, in 1658 assent. to transfer to ano. master; and that is all I hear of him. NATHANIEL, Eastham, s. of the first John of the same, left wid. Mercy, wh. m. 10 June 1708, Nathaniel Mayo of the same. PAUL, Boston, d. 1641, perhaps sudden. at least we see in Col. Rec. I. 318, that a commissn. to sett. his est. ws giv. by the Gen. Ct. RICHARD, by Farmer giv. as the freem. of 1652 at Kittery, but was of Cape Porpus, when he d. left wid. Margery, wh. ret. inv. 18 Feb. 1673, for L124. ROBERT, York, perhaps br. of Rowland, took o. of alleg. 22 Mar. 1681. ROBERT, Eastham, s. of the first John of the same, m. 22 Mar. 1694, Joanna Hicks, whose f. is not told, had Robert, b. 11 Apr. 1695, d. at 2 mos. Robert, again, 11 Dec. 1696; Lydia, 29 May 1699; Joanna, 1 [[671]] June 1703; and Jennet, 22 May 1708. ROWLAND, York, freem. 1652, sw. alleg. 22 Mar. 1681, may have been f. or rather gr.f. of the Rowland, a boy, prisoner in Canada, 1695, wh. is call. of Dover. THOMAS, perhaps of Warwick, m.Elizabeth d. of Richard Harcutt of W. but he may have come from L. I. or at least went thither. THOMAS, Scituate, s. of George, m. Sarah, eldest d. of Peregrine White, wh. long outliv. him, and d. 9 Aug. 1755, aged almost 92 yrs. had George, b. 1689; Joseph, 1692, d. young; Sarah, 1695; Thomas, 1698, d. young; Thomas, again, 1700; Joseph, again, 1701; Ebenezer, 1703; Joshua, 1704; and Isaac, 1706; and d. 25 Dec. 1732. See Boston Newsletter of 29 Aug. 1755. One Thomas I find of New Hampsh. among the petnrs. in Feb. 1690, for protect. of Mass. Farmer counts the gr. of this name at Harv. five, Yale, four, and other N. E. coll. four up to 1834. YOUNGLOVE, JAMES, Brookfield, d. without fam. and his br. John had admin. on his est. ret. inv. 13 Jan. 1667. JOHN, Hadley, perhaps s. of Samuel of Ipswich, was appoint. as appears by Col. Rec. IV. part 2d in 1667, with John Pynchon of Springfield, a Comtee. for Quaboag, aft. nam. Brookfield, freem. 1676, with prefix of respect, as he had preach. there a yr. or two, with no great satisfact. sch.-master at H. six or seven yrs. and was a preach. at the settlem. of Suffield 1681, in that Co. and there met no better accept. than at B. d. 1690, leav. wid. Sarah and ch. four s. and three ds. John; Samuel, b. 10 Feb. 1677, at H.; James; Joseph, 6 Nov. 1682, at S.; Mary, w. of Thomas Smith; Hannah, wh. bec. 1695, w. of George Norton; and Lydia, wh. m. 1693, George Granger. But he had also Sarah, wh. m. 1682, John Taylor, and d. next yr. with new b. ch. Prob. he was never ord. and when the Court advis. him to cease preach. it may derogate nothing from his moral worth, for as my correspond. says, "he may have had an unhppy temper, but it is not unlikely that the temp. of the people was worse than his." The wid. d. 17 Jan. 1711. SAMUEL, Ipswich, came in the Hopewell, Capt. Babb, in the autumn of 1635, aged 30; with w. Margaret, 28; and Samuel, 1 yr.; prob. had other ch. aft. arr. perhaps James; certain. Joseph; and d. in 1668, then call. 62 yrs. old. as Coffin gives it in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 169, with the name of Simon. SAMUEL, Ipswich, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. wheelwright, was adm. freem. 1671, m. 1 Aug. 1660, Sarah Kinsman, had Sarah, b. 5 Feb. 1663; Samuel, 30 Oct. 1665, d. soon; Mary, 17 Mar. 1668; Samuel, again, 27 July perhaps for the yr. is indistinct) 1671; Mercy, 25 May 1676; and John, 29 Aug. 1677. On his est. admin. was gr. 23 Jan. 1707, when the wid. was call. Mary, and she soon aft. sold to the same John her share of the prop. Sarah m. 20 June 1684, John Shatswell. YOUNGMAN, FRANCIS, Roxbury, m. 2 Dec. 1685, Ann, wid. of the [[672]] third Isaac Heath of the same, had Jonathan, b. 9 Oct. 1686; Cornelius, 1 Sept. 1688; Ebenezer, 2 Nov. 1690; Ann, 1 Dec. 1695; Elizabeth 17 Jan. 1699; and Leah, 4 May 1701, d. the same mo.; beside John, whose b. is not seen, but his d. is on the rec. 26 July 1711; as is also that of the f. 23 July of next yr. YOUNGS, or YONGS, JOHN, Southold, L. I. a min. of St. Margarets, Co. Sufflk. aged 35, with Joan his w. 34, and six ch. John, Thomas, Ann, Rachel, Mary, and Joseph, would have come to Salem, in N. E. in the Mary Ann from Great Yarmouth, May 1637, with many other passeng. of wh. was the wid. of learn. William Ames, the Professor at Franequer, as is seen in a collect. of rec. at Westminster, with copy of wh. her majesty's keeper of those treasures favored me; and in the margin of this part is insert. "This man was forbyden passage by the Commissnrs. and went not from Yarmouth." Probably the scivener had no idea of a negative pregnant, as the lawyer says, in his mind, when he made that entry, but may have suppos. that the power of the great archbp. the imperious and foolish Laud, would forever restrain that migrat. As the whole complication of ecclesiast. impolicy was overthrown three yrs. aft. the puritan's desire was then, if not earlier gratif. One report places him at New Haven 1638-40. I presume that Wood, in his Hist. of L. I. where he makes Y. a min. at Hingham, Eng. and to come to New Haven with part of his church in 1640, and to begin the settlem. of Southold, in Oct. of that yr. foll. tradit. of the neighb. and may be more trustworthy, as Farmer quotes him, where he says, he d. 1672, in his 74th yr. JOHN, Southold, L. I. eldest s. of the preced. (wh. is duly commeno. under Young), was, in 1681, under the governm. of the Duke of York, sheriff of the whole insular territo. as Wood tells, and d. in his 75th yr. 1698. JOSEPH, Southold, L. I. sen. and JOSEPH, jr. of the same, adm. freemen of Conn. 1662, were prob. br. and s. of the Rev. John, or possib. s. and gr.s. tho. less prob. ROBERT, York, k. by the Ind. betw. York and Kittery 16 or 22 Aug. 1690. THOMAS, Greenwich 1673, and of Oyster Bay, on the opposite coast of L. I. 1682, may have been s. of Rev. John, brot. from Eng. ZECHARIAH, LEWIS, Ipswich 1675, is all that Mr. Felt can tell a. this person, whose surname may have changed places with the bapt. as Farmer found Merry Waters. Yet I have no acquaint. with Zechariah Lewis, not even so much as with Lewis Zechariah. The name of Daniel Zechary in Boston, turns up in 1706. ZULLESH, DAVID, freem. of Mass. 18 May 1642, is the last name on the long list of that day's adm. as well as the latest in the labor of this Dictionary, wh. closes with regret that no further report of him can be afford, nor can any conject. be hazard, even for his resid. It hardly [[673]] seems like an Eng. name, and f. mo. br. sis. w. or ch. are unkn. As approxim. to so unusual a surname, I have seen nothing but Mr. Zellick, a merchant at New Haven, 1647, only as a transient visitor, if even he were not far remote, whose goods of £200. value were attach. there by Mr. Pell, no doubt Thomas, one of the chief men there. I suppose he was a Dutchman from Manhattan; and that his name was by Boston folks turn. into Sellock.
