SOME explanatory introduction to so copious a work, as the following, will naturally be required; but it may be short. In 1829 was published, by John Farmer, a Genealogical Register of the first settlers of New England. Beside the five classes of persons prominent, as Governors, Deputy-Governors, Assistants, ministers in all the Colonies, and representatives in that of Massachusetts, down to 1692, it embraced graduates of Harvard College to 1662, members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, as also freemen admitted in Massachusetts, alone, to this latter date, with many early inhabitants of other parts of New England and Long Island from 1620 to 1675. Extensive as was the plan of that volume., the author had in contemplation, as explained in his preface, calling it "an introduction to a biographical and genealogical dictionary, "a more ambitious work, that should comprehend sketches of individuals known in the annals of New England, and "a continuation of eminent persons to the present time." Much too vast a project that appeared to me; and the fixing of an absolute limit, like 1692 (the era of arrival of the new charter), for admission of any family stocks, seemed more judicious. I suppose nineteen twentieths of the people of these New England colonies in 1775 were descendants of those found here in 1692, and probably seven eighths of them were offspring of the settlers before 1642. My scope is wider than that of Farmer, of course, as it includes every settler, without regard to his rank, or wealth, since we often find, in the second or third generation, descendants of the most humble (thank God we are all equal before the [[vi]] law) filling honorable stations and performing important services. But far more narrow is my plan than his projected dictionary, because, in a grandson of the first settler, it excludes every other incident after his birth. Space for another than is here given, would have demanded six volumes, while ten volumes would have been needed for a fifth generation; and since we now count eight, nine, or even ten generations of offspring from not a few of the earlier planters on our shores, fifty volumes, each as ponderous as the present, might be filled with details, whereof one tenth would seem ridiculous, one quarter worthless, and one half wholly uninteresting. That New England was first occupied by a civilized people in so short a period before the great civil war broke out in our mother country, though half a century and more after its elementary principles began to ferment, especially in Parliament, and almost in every parish of the kingdom, was a very fortunate event, if it may not be thought a providential arrangement for the happiness of mankind. Even if our views be restricted to the lineal origin of those people here, when the long protracted impolicy of Great Britain drove our fathers into open hostility and forced them to become a nation in 1776, in that century and a half from its colonization, a purer Anglo Saxon race would be seen on this side of the ocean than on the other. Within forty years a vast influx of Irish, with not a few thousand Scotch and Germans has spread over this new country, but certainly more than four fifths of our people still count their progenitors among the ante-revolutionary colonists. From long and careful research I have judged the proportion of the whole number living here in 1775, that deduce their origin from the kingdom of England, i.e. the Southern part of Great Britain, excluding also the principality of Wales, to exceed ninety-eight in a hundred. Every county, from Northcumberland to Cornwall, Kent to Cumberland, sent its contribution of emigrants, and the sparse population of the narrow shire of Rutland had more than one offshoot in New England. But, during that interval, great was the diversity of circumstances between the old and the new country so far as the increase of their respective numbers by incoming of strangers was affected. In 1660 the restoration of Charles II.--in 1685 the expulsion of the two [[vii]] hundred thousand Protestants from France, the desired invasion of William and Mary in 1689, and the settlement of the House of Hanover in 1714, each brought from the continent an infusion upon the original stock, the aggregate of which may not have been less than five or six per cent. of that into which it was ingrafted. Yet hardly more than three in a thousand, for instance, of Scottish ancestry, almost wholly the migration of the heroic defenders of Londonderry, that came, as one hundred and twenty families, in 1718 and 19, could be found in 1775 among dwellers on our soil; a smaller number of the glorious Huguenot exiles above thirty years longer had been resident here, and may have been happy enough by natural increase (though I doubt it) to equal the later band. If these be also counted three in a thousand, much fewer, though earlier still, must be the Dutch that crept in from New York, chiefly to Connecticut, so that none can believe they reach two in a thousand, while something less must be the ratio of Irish. Germany, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Africa and all the rest of the world, together, did not outnumber the Scotch, or the French singly. A more homogeneous stock cannot be seen, I think, in any so extensive a region, at any time, since that when the ark of Noah discharged its passengers on Mount Arafat, except in the few centuries elapsing before the confusion of Babel. What honorable ancestry the body of New England population may assert, has often been proclaimed in glowing language; but the words of William Stoughton, in his Election sermon, 1668, express the sentiment with no less happiness than brevity: ÒGOD SIFTED A WHOLE NATION THAT HE MIGHT SEND CHOICE GRAIN INTO THE WILDERNESS.Ó By an instinct of our nature, we all love to learn the places of our birth, and the chief circumstances in the lives of our progenitors. More liberal than that is the sentiment by which our curious spirit desires knowledge of the same concomitants in the case of great benefactors of mankind; and the hope of ascertaining to a reasonable extent the early history of John Harvard was certainly one of the chief inducements of my visit to England early in 1842. I would have gladly given five hundred dollars to get five lines about him in any relation, private or public. Favored as I was, in this wish, by the countenance [[viii]] and aid of His Excellency, E. Everett, then our minister at London, no trace could be found, except in his signature to the rules on taking his degrees at the University, when he is titled of Middlesex. Perhaps out of such research sprang my resolution to prosecute the genealogical pursuits of John Farmer. In fulfillment of this great undertaking more than fifteen years are already bestowed, and near two years longer may be necessary. Yet the rule imposed, of admitting upon these pages only the dates of birth and marriage, and names of children, of a child born on our side of the ocean to a settler whose tent was pitched here before May 1692, is severely adhered to, with the exception only of so distinguished a man as Cotton Mather; and even this variety may seem forced upon me by Farmer, who had received him to the copious honors of marriage and family. Yet, in many cases, will be named great grandchildren of first comers, and even in a very few, another generation, making a fifth. Explanation of this apparent deviation from my own law is easy. When Gov. Bradford and Gov. Winthrop came here, each brought a son, or sons, and the same is seen of Gov. Dudley and numberless others. Now each child must be rated as an emigrant no less than its father, so that John Brad. ford, John and Adam Winthrop, and Samuel Dudley are equally entitled as their parents to have their grandchildren entered in these pages; but William and Joseph Bradford, and Jaseph Dudley, sons of the Govs. born on our side of the water, shall not have grandchildren in their respective lines. My apparatus for this work will sometimes be found incomplete, yet to a great extent, the public records of Colonies, Counties, and towns, where accessible, have been examined by myself or friends. Of the first ten folio volumes of our Suffolk registry of deeds I had an abstract always lying near me, and these embraced near one third of all the names of New England and more than half those in Massachusetts Colony; indeed for very many years, after the emigration from Europe ceased, only two other counties, Essex and Middlesex had been constituted. lt will be recollected, that large parts of Plymouth, New Hampshire, and Maine were occupied by those who removed from Massachusetts, as was almost the whole of Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Haven colonies. But [[ix]] modern labors of distinguished antiquaries furnish us almost in full their early records; and more than nine tenths of the names in these separate communities, I think, must have been acquired for this work. But even in my native city of Boston three or four in a thousand may have escaped me, yet probably in the second or third ages from its foundation. For the time of births, marriages, or deaths in each family I have labored assiduously to be correct, in hundreds of cases finding wrong dates given, and commonly without hesitation supplying the true. Where baptism is fixed, by a decent record, weeks, and even months before the date of birth, no fear of injuring the town clerk's credit can restrain belief in his mistake. But the copious source of vexation is the variety growing out of the Old and New Styles. In many thousand instances, I have turned to the perpetual almanac, to be sure that the day of baptism was truly, or not, recorded for Sunday, since the rite could, in the first century of New England, be performed only on that day. By this many printed errors may be corrected. As children are often seen to be baptized in January or February of the same year, by the ancient legal reckoning, that gives the parents' marriage in April or May, several weeks before, in our modern reckoning of the months, instead of so many months after, it is easy enough to put that right by calling those winter months not the eleventh and twelfth of the old year, as the statute absurdity required. Uniformly my chronology begins the year with 1 January; but to produce harmony between dates for the month of March is sometimes very difficult. A few town officers began to change the numerals for the year with the opening of the month, daring to ask, why the first month of 1679 should allow 24 of its 31 days to be drilled under old 1678, while the perverse will of the rulers in fatherland postponed the new-year's day until the 25th; and some records may be found, where the year ended in December; but this monstrous innovation did not begin before 1700, and the startling truth made irregular progress up to 1752, when Lord Macclesfield enlightened the legislature, and Chesterfield charmed it into consistency. No apology would be necessary for filling room with enumeration of contributions from many friends other than such as are [[x]] open to all in printed volumes; but much of what is now within every one's reach had been furnished in MS. to me, and still more is from the same hands, in many cases, given first to the light on my pages. Our town histories are crowding forward, and sometimes in less compact space than might be wished. Windsor, though its History is large, has not equalled ancient Woodbury in bulk, yet seems to contain all, with three-fold of the interest, that might have contented us in the other. The point of research may occupy long time, and be expressed at last in brief phrase, so that no comparison can be made between the result in different parts of the same field of battle from taking only the numbers engaged in each. One initial letter in this dictionary required a year and a quarter for its complete preparation, more than three months were given to each of several names, like Hall or Williams, and the progress of a page has often demanded a week. It seemed my duty to expose every error in our genealogy that has got imbedded in any reputable book; and the suspicion of any such may lead to a long train of inquiries before the refutation can be reached. If my success has been less than my ambition, it has not been owing to lack of industry, or to hurried operation. Printing of the first volume began in Dec. 1858, and was prosecuted without interruption of a day to this time; while for the next volume the careful amanuensis has ready for the compositor two hundred pages, a part of which will be given to the press to-morrow. For the access of new information that reaches us almost every month, a constant watch is kept; and life and health being continued, my contract with the community may be decently discharged in the autumn of 1861. A very extensive catalogue of gentlemen, that might be graced by one of more than half a dozen ladies, could here be supplied, were it useful to mention the smaller as well as the greater contributors to these sheets. To Goodwin, Bond, Harris, father and son, Kingsley, Abbot, Day, Shattuck, Lunt, and Kilbourne, of the respectable file who have passed out of active service, it would not be easy to state the respective proportions of indebtedness; nor could I specify the ratio of benefit derived in my pages from benevolence of the living Babson, Boltwood, Brayton, Budington, Clapp, Day, Edwards, [[xi]] Felt, Field, Herrick, Hoadley, Jackson, Judd, Kelly, King, Kellogg, Lincoln, Locke, Otis, Paige, Patterson, Riker, Sargent, Sewall, Shurtleff, R. D. Smith of Guilford, Staples, Vinton, Wentworth, Whitmore, Willard, Wyman, and twice as many more. Not one of the living or dead could complain of my declaration, that from the distinguished antiquary of Northampton the acquisition exceeds that of any other ten contributors. Early in 1846 I had solicited the benefit of uniting his name with mine in producing these volumes; but while he shrank from the responsibility of such unbroken labor, I can offer several hundred pages of letters to vouch for his sympathy, and encourage my perseverance. 19 APRIL, 1860. [[vol. 4, iii]] CLOSING ADDRESS. THE task, that, near twenty years since, was assumed by me, is now ended; and no regret is felt for the time devoted to it. Pleasure and duty have been equally combined. In the result some exultation might be felt, if suceess rewarded diligence, and proficiency had always followed patience; but in parts of so wide a range around genealogy, as this of New England, frequent failures ought to be anticipated, since the triumphs even within the narrow space traversed, in their long campaigns, by Bond or Shattuck, Judd or Goodwin, proved imperfect. Gleaners may find reward in following even their footsteps. For a partial indication of the ample assistance from modern copious correspondence, a reference to my preface in Vol. I. may seem sufficient; yet it appears requisite, in this valedictory obeisance to subscribers, to desire their forgiveness for the awkwardness they may discover, that among the ten or twelve thousand items of improvement in or increase upon the first text, as herein set forth, not a few hundred additions to additions with a score or two of corrections for corrections are interspersed. Of such materials the History of Watertown has subjoined 303 pages to its first 672; and parallel to such overflow might always be expected in a larger work, though not in exact proportion to its size. To exhauust the vocabulary of a civilized nation in a living tongue would appear impossible, for we all know, that new streams are constantly flowing into it from sources before unknown; and similar sypplies, by analogy, in a dictionary to set forth the origin of our families subsisting one hundred and seventy years ago, may naturally arise. [[vol. 4, iv]] Unavoidable omissions in these two thousand five hundred closely marshalled pages ought, therefore, to be expected; but if neither residence nor time were given, no right to a place for a new surname on my page would be yielded, though popular opinion traced the pretender to a Plantagenet, or his veins swelled with all the blood of all the Howards. Half a million, I presume, of those incidents may be found in this work. Blanks, not above two or three in the thousand, I believe, may remain in the myriads of names of family or baptism, and, I hope, the erroneous may only slightly outnumber the deficient. Some notes of events and of men have been lost, probably, though only a single instance, but of half a line, occurs to my recollection, and this is more cause of sorrow, than surprise, when I remember how many hundred have been written twice, thrice, and even four times over. To a few, who consult these volumes, such vacancies may give no disquiet, as thereby room was gained for a little general biography or historical criticism in place of the multitudinous ocean of numerals, or names as little discriminated as fortemque Gyan, fortemque Cloanthum. But never was such occasion made, however easily found by one who will feel pleasant surprise at a rare deviation from predominant dulness. I have dared to express, in a very few instances, my sense of the need of correction in old contemporary statements of history, either public or private, and more gladly to detect the modern adoption of idle traditions that kept long out of sight, when their small value would not have saved, the perpetuation of trifing fictions. May not some degree of favor be extended to my departure from the narrow circle of universal genealogy to snatch a few additional lines or some and sentences for others bearing prominent names like Bellingham, Burrows, Chauncey, Clark, Davenport, Dudley, Eaton, Endicott, Goffe, Hoar, Hopkins, Hull, Jackson, Johnson, Leverett, Mather, Osgood, Paddy, Parker, Phips, Pratt, Rogers, Saltonstall, Scroop, Sherman, Smith, Temple, Welde, Whalley, Wigglesworth, Williams, Wilson, and Winthrop. The prosecution of this work has continued without interruption in this long course of years, except twice, in both cases from illness, first, short but severe, more than fourteen years [[vol. 4, v]] ago, next, lighter and longer, less than four years since; yet from the time printing of the volumes began, Dec. 1858, no day has passed without progress, except the legal holidays By the majority who in careless hours may turn over these columns, the scrupulous diligence of the printer will justly be more observed than the research of the author, who should feel sufficient reward, if his countrymen acknowledgd they have no further claim to use of his pen after the owner's reaching so near the age of fourscore. Still my rejoicing should be rater, that my service is finished, than that I have no more to do. No slight vexation arose from defeat of my utmost vigilance in gathering the desired additions to this immense array of names, collected while the volumes have been passing under the press; but it was soothed by reflecting how many would show no regard to the defect, and better still how liberal would be the allowance of the few that duly weighed the excuse by making the suffering their own.

BY the number of more or less imperfect words, that can be not much less than three hundred thousand in these volumes, very great saving, of space was expected. Caution was given me, in the Genealog. Reg. XII. 362 against the woeful disfiguring that would follow, if the specimen, offered by the publishers toattract subscribers, were to be taken for a sample. As most of these curtailments were common however in similar works, I dared to adhere to the plan, which has not,perhaps, repelled a dozen patrons; and even enlarged my list by addition of one that would occur about two thousand limes. The word freeman, or freemen, may be seen, in its new shape, freem. without offence, I hope, to the taste of any subscriber.Familiar to all readers must be the short form given to our names of the months, nine in twelve, only May, June, and July having their whole beauty; and yet of these nine words the recurrence would probably show the mutilations on my pages to be fifteen or twenty thousand. Titles are always permitted even in other books to appear in brief, as Gov. or Esq. and when rep. may stand for representative, most who turn over a dictionary of this sort will approve the economy. It may happen that, by the accident of the printer's type, or my own carelessness, some word may be abbreviated that had better been printed in full, yet I submit, that the page will be seldom disfigured by such liberty, and probably the reader would not change more than once in five hundred examples. Confusion will not be caused so often as that, I hope; but if a pause be necessary, we all feel the same thing in turning to an English dictionary for definition of words only. Nobody reads continuously from page to page, even in the affluent vocabulary of Johnson; and when a sincere desire to verify a genealogy, or ascertain a special relationship, is felt, the time will not be grudgingly reckoned, if a sentence be not printed out in every word, but with one third or more of those words curtailed. In the following list every word thus abbrev. may not be found, because the shortening may by a judicious reader be referred to: class comprising many, as the adverbial terminations, ly, bly, wanting after casi. and honora.; or the perfect tense or participles of verbs, ed; or in substantives, er and ent.; or in either part of speech, ensu. mak. preced. and tak. without ing or en. For many having, different meanings, as ch. for child, or children, or church; d. for death, died, or daughter; gr. for grand, great, grant, or graduate; mo. for mother or month, the one intended may be trusted to the student's sagacity. But occasions of error in names of men or women I have scrupulously avoided, so that only one surname can be seen in my pages to be abbrev. and but a single name of bapt. Eliz. [[about 1696 occurrences in vol. 1, filled out by RAK for clarity]] can hardly be mistaken, nor will the lamentation be loud, when a man's name so distinguished as that of the first Gov. of Mass. is spelled Winth. [[filled out in vol. 1 by RAK, about 88 times]]. Geographical designations are forever meeting our eyes in briefer form than the legal one; and he has poor supply of current letters that requires to be told what shires in Eng. are meant by Bucks, Herts, or Notts.

DANIEL, Simsbury, 1683, m. prob. in 1687, Mary, d. of Samuel Pinney of the same, had Mary, bapt. 16 Jan. 1698; Thankful, 10 Apr. foll. and other ch. perhaps bef. and after, certain.

EDWARD, Medfield, s. of Henry the first. b. in Eng. freem. 1654, by w.

He was much employ. in public duties, ens. selectman for many yrs. rep. in the two first Gen. Cts. 1689, after overthrow of Andros, and d. 12 Nov. 1716. His w. had d. 3 Mar. 1676; but he had sec. w. whose name is not seen. His will of 19 May 1715, pro. 3 Dec. 1716, in our reg. XIX. 225, taking notice that his w. was provid. for bef. their m. and that his s. Jonathan, and John were, formerly, supplied by him with lds. and Edward with movab. and money, directs now, that his prop. be div. in nine equal parts, whereof the childr. of his s. Eliashib dec. to have two, James, and Henry, ea. two, and his d3. Lydia Daniel, Sarah Turner, and Mehitable Faxon, ea. one. EDWARD, Windsor, m. 25 May 1660, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Buckland, and d. 15 Aug,. 1683, leav. only ch. Mary, b. 28 Aug. 1671. ELEAZER, Medfield, eldest s. of the first Henry of the name, by w.

Ann had Abigail, b. 15 Sept. 1638; Bethia, 10 June 1640; and Nathaniel, 16 Mar. 1643. In Aug. 1641 he had leave to go home on business; but if he went, he came back next yr. Worthington, 103. Again he went home, and, in Oct. 1651, by his atty. sold est. at D. GEORGE, Branford, m. 5 Sept. 1657, Mary wid. of Lesley Bradfield, I presume, as sec. w. and d. prob. 1675. His will of 1670 names w. and s. John only, but this s. was by former w. it may be suppos. for he made his will 10 Oct. 1677, and d. that yr. giv. his prop. to Noah Rogers and others, hav. no near relat. GEORGE, Watertown, by w. Frances had John, b. 6 Aug. 1645; George, 1647; Daniel; Joseph, 6 Mar. 1657; and Mary; rem. to Cambridge farms, now Lexington, and d. 10 Oct. 1696. GEORGE, Cambridge, that part now Lexington, s. of the preced. m. 20 Jan. 1684, Martha, d. of John Fiske of Watertown, had George, b. 28 Apr. 1685; Martha, 10 Jan. 1687; John, 2 Sept. 1688; of wh. three the Watertown ch. rec. at [[10]] various times, show the bapt. Nathaniel; Sarah; both bapt. 12 June 1698 at W.; Benjamin, b. 20 Dec. 1701; and Bond thinks there may have, also, been Abigail, and Ann. Henry, Braintree, came early to our country, and tradit. says from Braintree, in Co. Essex in 1632, but widely diverse is the origin by ano. tradit. had gr. in Feb. 1641, of 40 acres by vote of Boston, of wh. Braintree was part, i. e. the portion for ten heads. Perhaps he was the first clk. of the town, after separat. from Boston, tho. more likely is it that his s. of the same name had the honor; and he d. or was bur. 8 Oct. 1646, leav. by tradit. eight s. yet only five are nam. in his will, 1646, pro. 8 June 1647, where appear Peter, John, Joseph, Edward, Samuel, and d. Ursula. Of this d. as tradit. took no notice, it may be that the number eight applied to s. means in truth ch. seven s. and one d. but names eno. for the s. may be seen, and certainly one s good, if not two beyond the deviees in the will, as Henry, Thomas, Jonathan, in some reports call. William. The inscript. on the monu. erect. by his descend, John Adams, sec. Presid. of the U. S. exhibits the popular story with characterist. strength: ÒIn mem. of Henry Adams wh. took his flight from the Dragon persecution, in Devonsh. Eng. and alighted with eight s, near Mt. Wollaston. One of the s. ret. to Eng. and, after tak. some time to explore the country, four rem. to Medfield, and the neighb. towns, two to Chelmsford. One only, Joseph, wh. lies here at his left hand, remain, here; wh. was an orig, prop. in the townsh. of Braintree incorpo. 1639." HENRY, Braintree, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. a. 1604 as is thot, may, rather than his f. be regard. as the town clk. of 1640, m. 17 Nov. 1643, Elizabeth d. of Moses Paine, had Eleazer, b. 5 Aug. 1644; Jasper, 23 June 1647; rem. to that part of Dedham, wh. bec.

Jacob; Daniel; Abraham, 10 Nov. 1687; John; Ann; Elizabeth 16 Aug. 1692; and Sarah. Some of them, however, had perhaps been b. in a neighb. town. He was rep. for S. 1711, 14, and 17, in Nov. of wh. last he d. at the Ct. in Boston. [[11]] JAMES, Plymouth, s. of John of the same, wh. was of the first comers, went, 1643, to Marshfield, soon after to Scituate, there m. 16 July 1646, Frances, d. of William Vassall, had William, b. 16 May 1647; Ann, 18 Apr. 1649; Richard, 19 Apr. 1651, d. soon; Mary, 27 Jan. 1653; and Margaret, 1654; all bapt. at the sec. ch. of S.

JEREMY, Braintree, perhaps 1632, rem. soon to Cambridge, then call. Newtown, freem. 6 May 1635, rem. next yr. to Hartford, had three ws. of wh. the first is unkn. by name, by her he had Samuel, b. it is said 1643, bapt. certain. 23 Nov. 1645; and perhaps more. His sec. w. Rebecca, wid. of Samuel Greenhill, d. 1678, and by her he had other ch. prob. Ann, wh. m. Robert Sanford; Elinor, wh. m. Nathaniel Willet; and John, unless one or two were by former w.

He long kept the ordinary, and d. 11 Aug. 1683, in his will, made seven days bef. he div. his est. half to childr. of s. John, and half to those of d. Willet. His wid. was 77 yrs. old at her d. 25 June 1715, and, no doubt, had provis. from the est. JOHN, Plymouth, one of the first comers, arr. in the Fortune, 9 Nov. 1621, m.

But Hannah d. early in 1661, 25 Jan. acc. Mitchell, 25 Feb. by Harris Epit. 169; and Daniel, d. 14 May 1685. Ano. Daniel had preced. him, but liv. not, I presume, long eno. to be bapt. He was a millwright, and Dr. Bond conject. that he was s. of George of Watertown, and when that was seen to be impossib. he suppos. he was br. So numberless are the shoots of this name, that I dare not foll. even so judicious a leader in this expedit. That he was s. of Henry the first, as amiable credulity would assume, is highly improb. since he came twenty yrs. or little less after that great N. E. progenitor, and so long outliv. him dying betw. June and Oct. 1706, and his w. still liv. Rebecca m. 24 Nov. 1669, Nathaniel Patten, and d. 18 Dec. 1677; Mary m. John Eames of Watertown, and d. 1681. [[12]] Inconsistencies appear in the fam. geneal. as to b. of her and her br. John. JOHN, Chelmsford 1654, had been of Concord 1630, has been sometimes thot. s. of the first Henry; but the conject. is uncert. JOHN, Marshfield, s. perhaps, of John of Plymouth, m. 27 Dec. 1654, Jane James, and had Joseph, Martha, and perhaps other ch. JOHN, Hartford, s. prob. eldest, of Jeremy of the same, had Rebecca, b.

JONATHAN, Medfield, call. sen. when his inv. of 15 Feb. 1692, was produc. at Prob. Ct. had been thot. s. of the first Henry, tho. no other circumstance is to be discern. in support of such assumpt. than that Edward of M. wh. was a s. of Henry gave to his eldest s. this name of Jonathan. Scrutiny has been applied, and Vinton, 296, could find two ws. Elizabeth and Mary, but ment. no ch. JONATHAN, Boston, blockmaker, of wh. I learn from his will, made 1 Apr. 1707, pro. 8 May next, that his w. was Rebecca, and that [[13]] he had Samuel, eldest s. beside Jonathan, Nathaniel, and James, and four ds. Rebecca, Dorcas, Mary, and Lydia. His w. was d. of James Andrews of Falmouth, driv. up by the war. JONATHAN, Medfield, eldest s. of Edward of the same, m. 20 Mar. 1678, Mary Ellis, d. prob. of Thomas of the same; but my acquisit. reach no further. JOSEPH, Braintree, perhaps youngest s. of the first Henry, b. in Eng. a. 1626, was a maltster, freem. 1653 or 5, his name appearing on both years, as the wonderful carelessness of Secr. Rawson admits thirty, if not thirty-one (if we include Dwight), out of thirty-two of the earlier yr. to be reinsert. two yrs. later with the sole addit. of one name at the top and one at the foot of the list, m. 26 or 29 Nov. 1650, Abigail (not Mary, as Alden has it), d. of Gregory Baxter (not, as is giv. by Thayer, of John, wh. was her br.), had Hannah, b. 13 Nov. 1652; Joseph, 24 Dec. 1654; John, 13 Jan. 1657, or 11 Feb. it being, uncert. wh. date is prefer. on the rec.

John Bass jun.; Bethia m. 1680, John Webb; Mary m. 16 Dec. 1686, Samuel Webb; and Mehitable m. 21 July 1697, Thomas White. His will, of 18 July 1694, gives no ment. of s. Samuel or Jonathan, but provides for the others and the five ds. using the name of hs. for all but the last. JOSEPH, Braintree, eldest s. of the preced. m. 20 Feb. 1682, Mary Chapin, perhaps d. of Josiah, had Mary, b. 6 Feb. foll. and Abigail, 17 Feb. 1684. This w. d. 14 June 1687, and he next m. Hannah, d. of John Bass, by wh. he had Joseph, 1 Jan. 1690, H.

This w. d. 24 Oct. 1705, and he d. at the mature age of 81, on 12 Feb. 1736; and his wid. Elizabeth (by wh. he had Caleb, 26 May 1710, that d. in few days ;) d. 14 Feb. 1739, aged 71. JOSEPH, Cambridge, s. of John of the same, m. 21 Feb. 1688, Margaret, d. of Thomas James, of Sudbury, had Joseph, b. 1689, wh. liv. to the age of 85; Daniel, 1690; Cherry, if such be a possib. name in that day, bapt. 31 Jan. 1697; John, 18 Apr. 1637; and Abigail. [[14]] MOSES, Sherborn, s. of Henry the sec. m. 15 Apr. 1681, Lydia d. of Jonathan Whitney of the same, had Benoni, b. 3 Nov. foll., Lydia, 2 Feb. 1684; Elizabeth 18 Sept. 1686, d. young; Hannah, 8 Feb. 1688; Elizabeth again, 25 Oct. 1689; Moses, 26 Nov. 1691; James, 7 July 1693; Isaac, 4 Mar. 1695; and Abigail, 7 Sept. 1697; was selectman 1701, and d. 1724. NATANIEL, Newport 1639, may be that one of Weymouth 1642, wh. had Abraham, b. 16 Jan. 1643. NATHANIEL, Boston, turner, m. 24 Nov. 1652, Elizabeth d. of Philemon Portmort, but whether she d. soon, and he had ano. w. Sarah is wholly uncert. for one Nathaniel of B. d. Oct. 1675, and his w. Sarah d. May 1685. Ano. NATHANIEL, Boston, blockmaker, if the modern copy of supposed rec. contempo. may be confided in, as in about nine tenths of its contents it may be, by w. Mary alone had Nathaniel, b. 10 Sept. 1653; Mary, 20 May 1655; Sarah, 9 Aug. 1657; David, 30 June 1659; Joseph, 19 June 1661; Elizabeth 21 Mar. 1662, d. soon; Benjamin, 10 Dec. 1660; Elizabeth again, 2 Oct. 1667; Benjamin, again, 27 May 1671; Isaac, 7 Nov. 1673, and Mary, again, 23 Sept. 1677. No small part of this may have confirmat. in his will of 22 Mar. 1690, pro. 8 May next, in wh. his w. Mary, and s. Joseph and Isaac are well provid. for, as also d. Mary, wid. of Joseph Hipdich; Sarah, w. of Richard Hunnewell, and Elizabeth w. of Ebenezer Chaffin, but all subject to the discret. of their mo. and he takes notice that his s. Nathaniel had not only rec. his share of prop. and more, but owed him or money lent, and refus. to acknowl. the debt, so that out of his fatherly regard he can give him but one shil. See rec. in Vol. XL 136. He d. 30 Mar. Perhaps his eldest s. NATHANIEL was a soldier in Philip's war; of Turner's comp. tho. rather is it more prob. that he liv. at Charleston, m. Hannah, d. of Nicholas Wilmot, wh. remembers her in his will of 27 Sept. 1684. He had Nathaniel, b. 12 Jan. 1681; Daniel, or David, 19 Nov. 1682; Nicholas, 8 Oct. 1684, d. soon; Hannah, 3 Oct. 1686, bapt.6 Mar. 1687; Ann, 15, bapt. 19 Aug. 1688, d. next mo.; Ann, again, bapt. 2 Aug. 1691, d. under 16 yrs.; Wilmot, 21 Aug. 1692; Mar, 29 Aug. 1702, d. under 13 yrs.; Abigail, b. 17, bapt. 21 Apr. 1706, d. under 2 yrs.; Ann, again, 31 Mar. 1708, d. soon; and Ann, again, 2, bapt. 15 Jan. 1710. Of ano. NATHANIEL of Charlestown, blacksmith, possib. but not prob. s. of Samuel the first, who m. Ann d. of Nathaniel Coolidge of Watertown, I see so little reason to believe his claim to adm. on my page with his ch. that he must be left in his position with Bond 747. PETER, Medfield, s. of Henry the first, b. in Eng. freem. 1650, by w. Rachel had Peter, b. 20 July 1653, wh. was a physician at Medway, of wh.

Hinman, in his new Edit. of 1852. But as he gives the same day for d. of the w. of Benjamin, the elder br. and the bapt. name of ea. was the same, without daring to guess wh. of the two is correct, I venture to doubt, that he fell into a very natural error, not observ. the repetit.

I dare not attempt to indicate how close is the reality of relationship with those who spell Auger and Hagar. AGLIN, WILLIAM, Boston 1676, is not heard of more.

II. p. 584. JOHN, Rehoboth, had Hannah, b. 10 Oct. 1673. ALBESON, or ALLBERSON, JOHN, Yarmouth, perhaps s. of Nicholas, m. 16 Mar. 1697, Elizabeth Folland, had Jeconia, b. 2 Jan. 1698, d. next mo. and David, 1 Nov. 1699. NICHOLAS, Scituate 1636, disting. as "the Swede," had ch. as tradit. goes, wh. he hims. bapt. but Deane found on rec. nothing relat. to the man, exc. that, in Philip's war, the Ind. burned his house, 20 May 1676, and the town voted a contrib. towards rebuild. it. ALBOROW, ALBOROUGH, ALBRO, ALDBURY, ALBROE, or ALSBERRIE, JOHN, Portsmouth, R. I. 1655, was an Assist. 1671, and one of the counc. appoint. by K. James Il. for his Gov. Andros, 1687, as Hutch. I. 354 gives the list. Gladly would we learn more of so promin. a man, ancest. of the Rev. John A. Albro, D. D. of Cambridge, and speak with confid. if rec. would permit. Very reasona. may be the conject. that he came, as a youth of 14 yrs. under charge of William Freeborne, in the Francis from Ipswich, 1634, to Boston. Freeborne was, we kn. of Boston, until the sad dissens. a. Mrs. Hutchinson, 1637, when he withdrew in comp. of so many others with Gov. Coddington to purchase R. I. What presumption may be drawn, from the mural tablet to Alborough in the ch. of Stratford on Avon, whither the admir. of Shakespeare annual. resort, that this R.

ALCOCK, FRANCIS, Newbury, came in the Bevis 1638, aged 26, in the employm. of Richard Dummer, as the Eng. custom ho. rec. tells; but that is the sole authority for call. him of Newbury, nor is any more kn. of him. GEORGE, Roxbury, came in the fleet with Govr. Winthrop 1630, with his u. a sis. of Rev. Thomas Hooker, but leav. only s. at home, desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. of that yr. and was rec. 18 May foll. Bef. the gather. of ch. at R. he was deac. at Dorchester, and his w. d. the first seas. He was a physician, rep. at the first ct. 14 May 1634, and after, as well as deac. for Roxbury ch. He went home to bring his s. John, and at the same or foll. visit got sec. w. Elizabeth by wh. he had Samuel, b. 16 Apr. 1637, H. C. 1659; and at his d. a. 30 Dec. 1640, the ch. rec. says he "left a good savor behind him, the poor of the ch. much bewailing his loss." Of his will, made ten days bef. an abstr. may be read in Geneal. Reg. II. 104. His wid. in Apr. foll. m. Henry Dingham, or Dengham, or Dengayne, a surgeon of Watertown. JOB, York 1666, s. of John of the same, made a lieut. 1677, and a magistr. under authority of Mass. 1678, and capt. 1681; by creation of William and Mary, in the new Chart. under adv. of Increase Mather, 1691 made a counsellor, but was next yr. left out, on the popul. revulsion against his patron. Hutch. 11. 15, says only, that he was of Maine, yet strange is it, that both he, and Douglas, I. 486 should falsely spell his name, Alcot, and stranger still, that Mather should have put that error into his charter, prob. for the sake of euphony. JOHN, Kittery, adm. freem. of Mass. 1652, prob. rem. to York, had to div. his est. 1675, two s. Joseph, and Job, five ds. viz. Mary Twisden, w. of Samuel, perhaps, or of John the sec. Elizabeth Banks w. prob. of Richard; Hannah Snell, w. perhaps, of George; Sarah Gittings, whose h. is a stranger to me; and Lydia Dummer, perhaps a maiden, sole ch. of ano. d. Yet conject. may be wearied in finding the connect. Joseph, adm. at the same time, was prob. his s. but Samuel may not have been. JOHN, Roxbury, s. of George of the same, b. in Eng. early in 1627, H. C. 1646, was a physician, but after leav. coll. went to Hartford, prob. on call of his uncle Hooker, to teach a sch. some time. He m.

John Phillips of the same, and outliv. him. THOMAS, Boston, br. of George, came, no doubt, in the fleet with Winthrop for his number in the list of ch. mem. is 46, by w. Margery had Mary, bapt. 3 Nov. 1635, d. young; Elizabeth 10 Dec. 1637, d. soon; rem. to Dedham, there had Elizabeth again, b. 4 Oct. 1638; Sarah, 28 Dec. 1639; Hannah, 20 May 1642; Mary, again, 4 Oct. 1644; Rebecca, 1646; and ret. to Boston had John, 2, bapt. 6 July 1651 ; perhaps Philip, intermed. He was freem. 6 May 1635, and d. 14 Sept. 1657. His wid. m. 16 Nov. 1660, acc. the rec. wh. I think should be 1659, John Benham; and of the ds. Elizabeth m. 6 May 1656 Joseph Soper, and Mary m. 27 Sept. 1664, James Robinson of Dorchester. THOMAS, Hartford.-- See Olcott. [[23]] ALDBURG, John, a youth of 14, came in the Francis, 1634, under William Freeborne. See Alborow. ALDEN, DAVID, Duxbury, s. of John of the Mayflower, was rep. 1689 and 90, after the overthrow of Andros; but Farmer was, I doubt, under mistake in making him Assist. 1690; and Winsor follow. him. His w. was Mary, d. of Constant Southworth, by wh. he had Benjamin, Samuel, and Alice, beside Ruth. JOHN, Plymouth, passeng. in the first ship 1620, had not been assoc. at Leyden with the pilgrims, but was hired at Southampton as a cooper, with right of staying on this side or return. m. 1623, Priscilla, d. of William Mullins, wh. as well as his w. d. the first Feb. after land. We kn. only eight ch. by their names, John, b. perhaps 1623; Joseph, David, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ruth, and Mary; but in Bradford we find h. and w. liv. in 1650, "and have eleven ch. and their eldest d. hath five ch." Of these in May 1627, at the div. of cattle, only John and Elizabeth are named, so that the other nine were b. later, but their dates of b. are not heard. He liv. most of his days at Duxbury, was rep. 1641, yet had been chos. an Assist. for the Col. 1633, to Gov. Winslow, and serv. 42 yrs. in that office, to every Gov. after Carver. Idly would tradit. attempt to magnify his merit, as the first to jump upon the rock at Plymouth land. when he was not of the party in the shallop that discov. the harbor, but contin. on board ship at Cape Cod. He was the last male surv. of the signers of the compact in that harbor, Nov. 1620, and d. 12 Sept. 1687, aged 84, or, by other acco. 88. Of the ds. Elizabeth m. 18 Dec. 1644, William Peabody and d. 3 May 1717, aged 94, says her gr. stone; Sarah m. Alexander Standish; Ruth m. 12 May (Winsor has it 3 Feb.) 1657, John Bass of Braintree; and Mary m. Thomas Delano. JOHN, Duxbury, eldest s. of the preced. rem. to Boston, where the rec. says, perhaps erroneous. by w. Elizabeth he had Mary, b. 17 Dec. 1659, for that date may be of d. of his u. since 1 Apr. foll. he m. (I suppose as sec. w.) Elizabeth d. of William Phillips, and wid. of Abiel Everill, had John, b. 20 Nov. foll. d. soon; Elizabeth 9 May 1662, d. at 2 mos.; John, again, 12 Mar. 1663; William, 16 Mar. 1664, d. soon; Elizabeth again, 9 Mar. 1665; William, again, 5 Mar. 1666, d. soon; Zechariah, 8 Mar. 1667, d. soon; William, again, 10 Sept. 1664; Nathaniel, 1670; Zechariah, again, 18 Feb. 1673, H. C. 1692; Nathan, 17 Oct. 1677; and Sarah, 27 Sept. 1681. In the witchcraft madness of 1692, he suffer. many weeks imprisonm. as Caleb and Hutch. II. 48, relate, yet recover. from the popul. persecut. and d. 14 Mar. 1702. His d. Elizabeth m. John Walley, possib. gr.s. of Rev. Thomas; and next 30 Apr. 1702, Simon Willard, but this union is not clear to me. As his s. John had w. Elizabeth it is diffic. from the Boston rec. to tell wh. John and Elizabeth had the latest b. It might as easily be infer. that the witchcraft belong. to the [[24]] s. as the f., and indeed Thayer in his Geneal. makes the younger the suffer. in wh. he is foll. by Winsor, contrary to the general import of Calef and Hutchinson. With them I concur, for the s. was only 29 yrs. old, and more venerable age is usually found liable to assaults by the great adversary for such cases. JONATHAN, Duxbury, br. of the preced. m. 10 Dec. 1672, Abigail, d. of Andrew Hallet, had Andrew, Jonathan, John and Benjamin; but no dates are found for either. The two former, it is said, went to Lebanon. He was bur. 17 Feb. 1698, aged 70, says fam. tradit. and his wid. d. 17 Aug. 1725, aged 81. JOSEPH, Duxbury, br. prob. elder, of the preced. m. Mary, d. of Moses Simmons, rem. early to Bridgewater, had Isaac; Joseph, b. 1668; John, and, perhaps Elizabeth and Mary; and d. 8 Feb. 1697. The ds. were m. one bef. and one after. From the passeng. in the Mayflower are fill. with details of descend. 28 pages of Thayer's Geneal. and in Collect. of Epitaphs, by Rev. Timothy Alden, compris. in 5 vols. is seen large proof of filial gratitude. Of this name eight had been gr. at Harv. in 1834, and two at Yale. ALDERMAN, JOHN, Dorchester 1634, Salem 1636, when Jane, prob. his w. was mem. of the ch. had gr. of ld. at S. 1637, freem. 22 May 1639, d. 1657. See Winthrop I. 144; and Felt, Ann. I. 171. WILLIAM, Windsor, 1672, soon after at Simsbury, m. 1679, Mary, d. of John Case of S. had Mary, b. 22 Sept. 1680; Thomas, 11 Jan. 1683; William, 20 Oct. 1686; Sarah, 1692; John, 1695; and Joseph, 1697; and d. at Farmington, 1697. His wid. m. 30 Mar. 1699, James Hillyer. ALDIS, DANIEL, Dedham, s. of deac. John of the same, m. 23 Nor. 1685, Sarah Paine, perhaps d. of the sec. Moses of Braintree, had Sarah, b. 16 Oct. 1686; Daniel, 2 Dec. 1687, d. at 3 mos.; Ann, 21 Aug. 1692; Sarah, 27 Aug. 1695. His w. d. 17 Apr. 1711; and he d. 21 Jan. 1717; and this marks the last appear. of the fam. name on the town rec. His will made two days bef. names w. Sarah, s. in law William Bacon, d. Ann w. of Jonathan Onion, and gr.s. William Bacon; and may be seen in Vol. XX.166.

He was deac. and his w. d. 12 Nov. 1686; and he d. 21 Dec. 1700. Sarah m. 26 Apr. 1675, Gershom Hubbard; and Mary m. 21 Feb. 1679, Nathaniel Richards. JOHN, Dedham, s. of the preced. by w. Mary had Ruth, b. 14 Aug. 1695; and no more is heard of h. w. or ch. in D. but he had liv. at Wrentham, m. 23 May 1682, Mary Winchester; had Sarah, b. 26 Feb. foll.; Ethan, 11 May 1685; and Hannah, 19 Feb. 1688. NATHAN, Dedham, with w. [[25]] join. the ch. early in 1640 and 1641, respectiv. They had brot. from Eng. certain.

Sarah he had Joseph, b. 20 Sept. 1676; and Jacob, 27 Dec. 1677; but that w. d. 25 Feb. foll. as is said. Perhaps there were two. JOSEPH, Braintree, perhaps br. of the preced. m. 26 Feb. 1662, Patience Osborne of Weymouth, perhaps d. of John, had Joseph, b. 14 July 1663; and Sarah, 27 Oct. 1677.

With spell. of Aldrich four had been in 1829, gr. at Brown Univ. and none at Harv. or Yale. Perhaps this name bee. Eldridge sometimes. ALEWORTH, FRANCIS, Dorchester, freem. 18 May 1631, went home the foll. yr. tho. he had been by the Court of Assist. in July, chos. lieut. of the comp. Ano. man with this surname, at the Court in Mar. 1631, was order. to go, "as unmeet. to inhab. here."

DAVID, Northampton, br. of Robert, bec. 3d h. of Elizabeth wid. of Samuel Langton, d. of wid. Elizabeth Copley. GEORGE, Windsor, m. 18 Mar. 1644, Susanna Sage, as by Parsons, in Geneal. Reg. V. 63, the surname is giv. (whose correctness is doubt. by scrupul. readers of the orig. rec. when the bapt. name is Susanna alone, not as print. "Su Sage;" and beside the date of the m. is not clear on that rec.) had (he says) John, b. 25 July 1645; (yet high [[26]] authority advises me, that the oldest ch. was prob.

EDWARD, Dover 1675, was s. of Hope of Boston, as such, sold 13 Nov. 1678, large est. at Falmouth, now Portland, devis. to him from his f. after dilig. inquiry I can learn no more of him. ELEAZER, emb. 27 May 1679 in the Prudence and Mary, to come to Boston from Eng. but his visit may have been only a trans. one, or he may have gone beyond the bounds of N.

GEORGE, Sandwich 1643, perhaps s. of the preced. b. in Eng. then in the list of those able to bear arms; may have been of Newport 1639, and at S. had (by w.

GIDEON, Swanzey 1669, rem. to Boston during Philip's war, and after it to Milford, there was a promin. man, and d. early in 1693. At Swanzey, [[31]] by w. Sarah he had John, b. 24 Oct. 1673, wh. d. bef. his f. He spell. Allin, left wid. and five ch. Gideon; Sarah, and George, tw. 18 yrs. old; Hannah, 7, and Abigail, 4.

ISAAC, Rehoboth, m. 30 May 1673, Mary Bowen, perhaps d. of Henry, had Isaac, b. 3 Jan. 1675; Catharine, 18 Jan. of uncert. yr. the rec. being partially worn away.

He d. 27 Sept. 1673. Some reason is perceiv. for holding this man to be br. of Rev. John Allin of Dedham. JAMES, Boston, one of the eject. min. was s. of a min. in Hampsh. and b. 24 June 1632, as is told, ent. of Magdalen Hall, 16 Mar. 1649, and of New Coll. Oxford, procced. A.

[[32]] and Sarah, 11 Sept. 1679, wh. d. at 3 yrs. After some yrs. preach. there, he was sett. in the midst of gr. disquiet, at the first ch. on the same day, with Davenport (9 Dec. 1668), in vindicat. of those charact. he was long a strenuous oppon. of the third, or O. S. ch. that sprang, out of the unhappy circumst. by wh. he was brot. from New Haven. His last w. d. 25 Nov. 1705, and he d. 22 Sept. 1710. Dunton says, his s. James was a min. in England d. at Northampton, but perhaps he is wrong, for he was young, and our Coll. Catal. never gave him the Italics, tho. it marks him as Socius. See 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. II. 101 and 3 M. H. C. VIII. 250. Both of the Biogr. Dict. Eliot, briefly, and Allen, more at large, explain the difficult. of his course. JAMES, Sandwhich, perhaps s. of George the first, had Amey, b. 22 Dec. 1665; and Abigail, 28 Sept. 1667, and prob. sev. others, yet it may be that some were b. after rem. to Tisbury, had w.

JEREMIAH, Salisbury, s. of William the first of the same. took o. of alleg. 2 Dec. 1677, m. 1686, Ann, prob. d. of Thomas Bradbury. JOHN, Plymouth 1633, was perhaps of Scituate, 1646, there d. 1662, prob. Sept. as his inv. bears date 25 of that mo. leav. wid. Ann and s. John; but his nuncup. will, made two days bef. his d. in wh. one ho. is giv. to Josiah Litchfield (then a youth) in wh. the testator liv. and ano. to his w. was not pro. until 2 June of next yr. and that would now-a-days seem a dangerous delay. See Geneal. Reg. VI. 94. JOHN, Dorchester 1632, kept an inn, and was punish. for drunkenness of those to wh. that yr. he sold. JOHN, Charleston, came, perhaps, in the Abigail, 1635, aged 30, with w. Ann, 30, from some part of Kent, join. the ch. 22 May 1641, and was adm. freem. 2 June next; by w.

Samuel, 29 Nov. 1656; and Sarah, again, 11 May 1659, d. at 2 mos. He was of ar. co. 1639, and, in 1657, the richest man in the town, a capt. and rep. 1668, and d. 27 Mar. 1675. His d. Mary m. perhaps Nathan Rainsford, and next Joshua Hobart. Elizabeth m. 11 Mar. 1674, Nathan Hayman, and Rebecca m. 28 Mar. 1678, John Goodrich of Wethersfield. See Budington, 249. By Sewall he is call. br. of Rev. Thomas, if such be the mean. of the interleav. Almanac, giv. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 206. John, Springfield 1639, then tax. there, rem. soon, perhaps to Rehoboth 1643, and to Newport 1651, thence to Swanzey 1669. Certain. one John at Newport m. 10, or 14 Oct. 1650, Elizabeth Bacon, perhaps sis. of Nathaniel of Barnstable, there had Elizabeth b. July 1651; Mary, 4 Feb. 1653; John, Nov. 1654; Mercy, Dec. 1656; Priscilla, Dec. 1659; and Samuel, Apr. 1661.

Reg. IX. 357, a mark is transpos. as much I suspect, or the ch. rec. is careless, as very frequent. we kn. it is. But the true name is Alling (not Allen), in the first generat. as in later ones. See Alling. JOHN, Northampton, s. of Samuel, m. 8 Dec. 1669, Mary, d. of William Hannum, rem. to Deerfield, there was k. by the Ind. 18 Sept. 1675, the day of Bloody brook, leav. three ch.

SAMUEL, Manchester, had, prob. s. of the same name, for in the [[36]] petition from that town, as the head of a Comtee. in Geneal. Reg. X. 322, appears Samuel with suffix of senr. SAMUEL, Barnstable. See Allyn. SAMUEL, Sudbury, m. Elizabeth d. of John Grout, had five ch. provid. for in the will of their gr.f. as f. had d. and his wid. m. lieut. John Livermore, by that will call. s. in law. SAMUEL, Portsmouth, the royal Gov. of N. H. was a merch. of London, late in coming to our country, may for his progeny claim no place in this work. However he had w. Elizabeth s. Thomas, and d.

Sussex, presum. by me to have been wid. of blessed John Harvard, his predecess. as collea. with Rev. Zechariah Symmes. In his Ecclesiast. Ann. I. 379, Mr. Felt makes her accomp. Allen, as his w. but this seems highly improb. as the w. would naturally have unit. with our ch. soon after her h. if not at the same time, whereas no fem. mem. of the name of Allen was rec. into the Boston ch. for a long, time after he had been sett. at C. exc. a maiden Elizabeth 24 Mar. 1639 wh. two yrs. after m. Rev. Samuel Stone of Hartford. Bef. the coming of Allen, we kn. from the Hist. of the first ch. at Charlestown, by Budington, p. 247, where begins the invalu. catalogue, that "John Harvard and Ann Harvard his w." join. that ch. 6 Nov. 1637. From the Hist. of Harv. Coll. it is kn. that Allen was admor. on est. of Harvard, and paid the moneys bequeath. so that it can hardly be doubt. that the judgment of Felt was at fault, especially as, a few pages earlier, the diligent author had noted, that Harvard's wid. was "supposed to have m. Rev. Thomas Allen." His ch. were Mary, b. 31 Jan. bapt. prob. 23 Feb. 1640; Sarah, 8 Aug. 1641, d. in Apr. foll.; Elizabeth 17 Sept. 1643, d. in few days; and Mercy, 13 Aug. 1646, d. in few days. The rec. of bapt. for many yrs. after 1640, is lost. In 1651 he went home, and serv. at the same altar of St. Edmunds, in his native city, where he had officiat. bef. com. hither; when worried out of his diocese, 1636, by Bp. Wren; and again he suffer. in the gen. ejectm. of 1662; yet was with much affection sustain. by the worshipp. at a dissent. chapel, as long as such was tolerat. For a sec. w. he had Joanna, wid. of maj.-gen. Robert Sedgwick, wh. had been drawn to Eng. by partiality of Oliver Cromwell for men from this quarter. She had been of his flock at Charlestown, and prob. bore [[37]] him no ch. and we hear of no s. but Thomas, wh. was of Lincoln's Inn some time, but resid. at Norwich 1692. The f. d. 21 Sept. 1673.

WILLIAM, Newbury, nam. by Coffin as of Salem 1638, but no support can be found for any other, so early, than him who had then occup. there for twelve yrs. and prob. he is more correct in placing him at Salisbury from 1639 to 50 ; m.

WILLIAM, Sandwich, s. prob. of George the first, m. 21 Mar. 1650, Priscilla Browne. WILLIAM, Boston, made his will, 15 Dec. 1674, and d. soon. In it he gives all his prop. in hands of Jonathan Tyng, or elsewhere, to Lydia, w. of John Benjamin of Watertown, from wh. Bond seems to be justly authoriz. to infer, that Lydia was his d. but it may be doubted, for on 26 of next mo. John Benjamin renounc. the benefit of the will. She may have been his sis. for the will does not call her d. nor can I find any ch. on Boston rec. of b. but sis. or d. prob. the value of his goods was very small.

As agent for the Co. he went to Eng. three or four times, but gave not satisfact. in the latter visit; and on his private business was oblig. to go, more than once, of all wh. large statem. is seen in the Hist. of Bradford. In 1643, the Dutch, with wh. he had passed some yrs. having lost the confid. of his early friends bef. 1631, would employ him, with Underhill, to raise from the Eng. a force for their protect. against the Ind. but soon after he was sett. at New Haven, and there d. 1659, insolv.

His actual serv. however, had been at Wrentham, Co. Suff. a. 30 miles N. E. from Ipswich. When I exam. the Reg. of the Univ. of Oxford, it did not occur to me, that the age giv. him at matric. must have been too small by 10 yrs. and it is very clear that the Oxford schol. was not our John, but of a differ. fam. and fate also.

Increase Mather includes, in his Relat. of Ind. Wars, the Account of the troubles preced. and during that with the Pequots, writ. by Allyn, filling 19 of his pages. JOHN, New London, only s. of Robert, m. 24 Dec. 1668, Elizabeth d. of John Gag,er, had Elizabeth b. 24 Dec. 1669; and Robert, a. mid. of Sept. 1671. He had helped in the settlem. of Norwich, but after d. of his f. went to N. L. there d. 1709. JOHN, Barnstable, s. of Thomas, m.

MATTHEW, Cambridge 1632, was perhaps s. of Samuel of Chelmsford, Co. Essex, freem. 4 Mar. 1635, rep. at March Gen. Ct. 1636, rem. prob. next yr. to Hartford, thence in few yrs. to Windsor, for wh. he was rep. 1648 to 57, Assist. 1658 to 67, and chos. Commissr. for Unit. Col. 1660 and 4, d. 1 Feb. 1671. His ch. were all prob. b. in Eng. John, Thomas, and Mary, wh. m. 11 June 1646, Benjamin Newberry, and his will of 30 Jan. 1671 names these and the gr.ch. Mary, d. of Newberry. His s. Samuel d. 1648. Common. in his autogr. the name has y, but high authority assures me, that it is not always so; and in the rec. and print. books, it is nearly as often seen with e as without. MATTHEW, Windsor, s. of Thomas and gr.s. of the preced. m. 5 Jan. 1686, Elizabeth eldest d. of the third Henry Wolcott, had Matthew, b. 9 Aug. 1687; Pelatiah, 3 May 1689; Josiah, 9 Mar. 1693; Thomas; Henry, 16 Dec. 1699, and Theophilus, 26 Aug. 1702.OBADIAH, Middletown, propound. for freem. Oct. 1672,,adm. next yr. m. 28 Oct. 1669, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Sanford of Milford, had Obadiah, b. 20 Sept. 1670; Thomas, 20 Sept. 1672, d. in few wks.

Prob. he was neph. of the first Thomas, and the descend. have generally chang. the spell. to Allen. ROBERT, Salem, 1637, adm. of the ch. 15 May 1642, had John, and [[44]] Sarah there bapt. Sunday foll. and Mary, 19 Nov. 1648; in 1658 rem. to New London, and to the then adjoin. town of Norwich at its first settlem. 1659; but, high as is her authority on such a point, I hesitate to adopt Miss Caulkins's opin. that, intermed. betw. Salem and New London, he was of Saybrook. Tho. honor. with the office of constable at Norwich 1669, he went back to N. L. and there d. 1683, were part of his farm preserves in the harbor the name of Allyn's point. Other ch. beside those at Salem he had, as Hannah and Deborah, both prob. at N. L. Sarah m. 17 Feb. 1659, George Geer; Hannah m. Thomas Rose; and Deborah was unm. at d. of f. *SAMUEL, Barnstable, s. of Thomas of the same, m. 10 May 1661, Hannah, d. of Rev.

His w. d. 23 Oct. 1711, and he d. 25 Nov. 1726. THOMAS, Wethersfield 1636, not migrat. from Watertown, for Bond has not nam. him, was br. of Matthew, with wh. he had extraord. controvers. in the law, as is fairly infer. from Trumbull's Col. Rec. I. 211, was made freem. 1652, rep. 1656; and soon after d. as might be conclud. from not seeing his name as rep. in any yr. subseq. nor in the list of freem. for that town 1669; yet he may have rem. to Middletown, as no list of that sort is found from that place in Trumbull, and one of the name there was deac. wh. d. 16 Oct. 1688, having had no ch. but leav. wid. Martha, perhaps, wh. had been wid. of Roger Jepson, and d. 1690. She calls, in her will, Obadiah A. of M. cousin. Y. not e is seen in his last syl. tho. in his bapt. rec. Apr. 1604 (if he were s. of Samuel of Chelmsford Co. Essex), the spell. is the other way. THOMAS, Barnstable, had Samuel, b. 10, bapt. 18 Feb. 1644; John, bapt. 27 Sept. 1646; and Mehitable, bapt. 26 Nov. 1648; and he d. Nov. 1680, at gr. age. Mehitable m. 1 June 1667, Samuel Annable of the same. His first w. was nam. Winifred; the sec. was a wid. but surnames are not found.

He was made freem. 1659, and esteem. in the milit. serv. in wh. he rose to be capt. and d. 14 Feb. 1696. THOMAS, Windsor, s. of the preced. m. 6 Jan. 1686, Martha, sec. d. of Simon Wolcott, wh. had Martha, b. 1 Sept. liv. only two days, and the mo. liv. only four days more, for she d. 7 Sept. of next yr. and in any other particul. nothing is kn. WILLIAM, Stonington, had John, George, Jane, and Elizabeth to wh. on his d. 7 Sept. 1671, he left his prop. speak. of his w. as if she liv. near Barnstaple in Devonsh. For the deficiencies of this article, and the difficulty of determin. betw. Allyn, and Allen, and [[45]] Allyne, or Alleyne, I must confess, that, after long research, satisfact. is unattain. in sev. cases, so many individ. have, perhaps capricious. at various times, writ. their fam. names in differ. ways. ALMY or ALMOND, CHRISTOPHER, Portsmouth, R. I. s. of William, b. in Eng. was an Assist. 1690. JOB, Portsmouth, R. I. br. of the preced. by w. Mary, d. of Christopher Unthank of Warwick, had William and Christopher, tw. Susanna, Audrey, Deborah, Catharine, and Mary, an perhaps minors, when he d. 1684. JOHN, Plymouth 1643, perhaps br. of the preced. m. Mary, d. of James Cole, rem. to Portsmouth, R. 1. was a capt. in Philip's war, 1675, as named in Church's Mem. 53, and d. 1676. WILLIAM, Lynn, perhaps as early as 1631, went home, and came again, 1635, in the Abigail, aged 31, with w. Audrey, 32, and ch. Annis, 8; and Christopher, 3; rem. 1637, prob. to Sandwich, and certainly was freem. of Portsmouth, R. I. 1655. His will names ch.

He was a sea capt. GEORGE, Milford 1667, d. a. 1680; but was not constant resid. there, and notice of w. or ch. is not found, so that prob. he never m.

JOSEPH, New Haven, had come, at the age of 14, to Boston in the Elizabeth and Ann, 1635, from London, went to New Haven early, took o. of fidel. in 1644, bef. 1647 m. Elizabeth the eldest d. of William Prestol, had Joseph; Elizabeth b. 22 June 1650; Sarah, 8 Sept. 1652, but by ch. rec. worthy of very little reward, 15 Sept. 1651; Mary, 3 Oct. 1654; Abigail, 4 Sept. not as ch. rec. says 4 Nov. 1656; all bapt. 26 Apr. 1657; Hannah, b. 2 Dec. 1659; John, 3 Jan. 1662; Lydia, 26 July 1665; Daniel, 13 Aug. 1667; and Jemima, 10 Feb. 1670.

Hannah was a busy money making maiden, wh was Adm'x of est. of her br. Daniel, and yrs. after bot. up the shares of her sis. in the est. of her f. manag. by her with much discret. Haz. II. 247. She d. unm. JOSEPH, New Haven, eldest s. of the preced. m. 25 Nov. 1672, Abigail, d. of John Thompson the first of the same, and d. 12 Jan. 1691. His will, of 1687, pro. 16 Feb. 1691, gave to his w. (wh. prob. had no ch.) and his brs. John and Daniel, all his est. a. 1490. His wid. m. 1694, John Miles. KEY, Boston 1668, merch. had w. Mary, who soon after his d. m. Capt. William Turner, whose victory at the Falls fight, 1676, gave [[46]] his name to the spot. RICHARD, Newtown, L. I. 1686, by w. Hannah had Thomas, b. 7 Sept. 1687; Richard; John; Hannah; Deborah; Amy; and Elizabeth d. Oct. 1718, aged 58; but his wid. wh. d. 23 Aug. 1757, was 90. He is suppos. to have been brot. in youth by his uncle Thomas Wardell of Newtown, wh. had no ch. and have A. large est. See Riker's Ann. of Newtown, 335. THOMAS, Stratford, wh. came in the Elizabeth and Ann from London, 1635, aged 20, I think must have been br. of Joseph of New Haven, as they came together, and the younger, in 1651, inform. the Court, that his br. without nam. him, had d. at S. leav. some prop. and no more is kn. It may be, that the f. of these youths was that John, rated for a subsidy in 1598, to the same parish and at the same time with William Shakespear, nor would it be very extrav. to presume, that he, too, went up to London from Stratford on Avon. See my notes on Edward Jackson. TIMOTHY, New Haven 1646, mariner. ALSOB, THOMAS, Salem vill. was a soldier, k. by the Ind. 16 July (unless 16 May be nearer the day of fight, and the other only date of rec.) 1690, with others at Casco. See Felt Ann. II. 509. Yet Willis I. 205, refer. to the same rec. spells the sufferer's name, as seems, at least, equal. likely to be correct, Alsop. But I would gladly see his origin.

Bef. the Mayor and Aldermen of London, 5 Nov. 1651, he preach. the annivers. sermon on the gunpowder plot, at St. Pauls, and was eject. 1662, d. 21 July 1689, in his 66th yr. By his first w. Susanna, he had only Elizabeth wh. m. Robert Smith, a min. in the same ch. wh. d. in Aug. 1705; and that w. was bur. 6 Jan. 1652. For sec. w. he took, 26 Jan. 1653, Elizabeth Wales, had Ruth, and Philip, both d. young; and this w. d. 19 Feb. 1683. These details are gather. from a Hist. of the Congregat. ch. at Wrentham in Old Eng. by John Brown, 1854; and from Hunter in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 169. Prob. [[50]] his br. John, wh. if we judge by order of names in the rec. of Wrentham, was the younger, went home with our scholar. Of this name nine had, in 1834, been gr. at Harv. none at Yale, one at Dart. and three at other N. E. coll. as Farmer found. AMEY, or AMEE, JOHN, Woburn 1649, by w. Martha, d. of Edward Johnson, the historian, had Mary, b. 27 Feb. 1650; rem. to Boston 1653, had John, 4 or 12 Mar. 1654; Martha, 10 Nov. 1655; and William, 24 Mar. 1657; beside Martha, again, 23 Feb. 1660. He was a ship carpenter. WILLIAM, Lynn, in 1637, with others, had liberty to rem. to begin settlem. of Sandwich. AMORY, SIMON, Boston, freeman 1672, had w. Mary, and d. early in 1677. WILLIAM, said to have found a miner. hill above Deerfield, 1685. Felt. AMOS, HUGH, Boston, freem. 1666, was of the 2d ch. had John, bapt. there that yr. perhaps rem. to Norwich, where he had Mary, b. Jan. 1671; and Samuel, Jan. 1673. These three ch. with ano. d. Ann div. his est. in 1707. He liv. on the E. side of the riv. now Preston, and his name designates one of the beautif. ponds of that town. AMSBURY. See Armsbee. AMSDEN, ISAAC, Cambridge, m. 8 June 1654, Frances Perriman, whose f. is unkn. had Isaac, b. 1656; and Jacob, 17 Nov. 1657; both bapt. 3 Nov. 1661, the mo. being adm. of the ch. few days bef. and he d. 7 Apr. 1659, if we take Harris's Epit. 169, for conclusive; but we might judge from Pro. rec. where ment. of admin. giv. 25 June 1661, to his wid. that he had d. only 19 days bef. The wid. m. 14 Feb. 1663, Richard Cutter. ISAAC, Cambridge, s. of the preced. m. 17 May 1677, Jane Rutter, perhaps d. of John of Sudbury, had Elizabeth b. 3 Feb. foll. Isaac, 29 Aug. 1680; John 28 Dec. 1685; Thomas, 9 Jan. 1687; Jacob, 29 Feb. 1688; and Abraham 15 Oct. 1692, as suppl. by a scrupul. writer in Geneal. Reg. XV. 21, tho. I feel compel to change an impossib. date. JACOB, Cambridge, s. of Isaac the first, d. 11 June 1701, as we learn from Harris, 29, and any thing, else is learn. from nobody. JOHN, Hatfield, perhaps s. of the first Isaac by a w. bef. Frances, or even bef. he sett. at Cambridge, or came from Eng. there this man liv. ten yrs. but at H. d. 1696, leav. John and Isaac, of wh. the latter d. young, and the former resid. at Deerfield, where he was drown. 1742, and two of his s. were k. by the Ind. 1746. Descend. may be found there. Matchless Mitchell spells the name Embsden. ANCHOR, THOMAS, Boston 1646. ANDERSON, ARCHIBALD, Lynn, employ. at the iron works, came from Scotland, and d. 13 Aug. 1661. DAVID, New Haven 1639, whip. for drunk. and not much better in 1641, as in Col. Rec. I. 28 and 59 appears. DAVID, Charlestown 1675, prob. s. of John of Boston, by w. Catharine Richardson, m. 12 Sept. 1679, had John, wh. d. that yr. at 3 mos. David, bapt. 23 Sept. 1677, perhaps a posthum. ch. for his f. d. in May preced. on his way, as master of the ship Blessing, home from London. His first w. m. 5 June 1667, was Hannah Nichols, wh. d. 18 July 1671. GAWEN, Roxbury, [[51]] freem. 13 May1640, of wh. no more is heard. JOHN, Boston 1647, shipwright, permit. in 1652 to build a wharf, m. 3 Jan. 1655, I suppose for sec. w. Mary Hodges of Charlestown (a former w. Jane hav. d. 4 May preced. and his s. Samuel, prob. inf. d. 10 July foll.), by her had Joanna, b. 25 Dec. foll. and Ann, 5 May 1657; and he d. 28 Sept. 1677. We learn from his will of 3 days preced. pro. 31 Oct. foll. that he had elder ch. as Emma, wh. m. 17 July 1655, John Brackenbury, afterwards m. Joseph Lynde, and d. 2 Sept. 1703; Catharine, wh. m. 19 July 1635, John Phillips, and d. 24 Feb. 1699; Mary, uh. as wid. Lynde, m. 27 July 1682, Rev. Thomas Shepard, and, next, Hon. Samuel Hayman, and was bur. 20 Aug. 1717; and Joanna Newman; but much uncertain. hangs over these two last ds. i. e. what Lynde was h. of the former, what Newman of the latter, tho. much inquiry has been bestow. He had also Henry, who d. in Eng. and left his prop. to the f. JOHN, Ipswich 1665, whose inv. was render. 3 May 1701, had been a soldier in the Province serv. Possib. but not prob. he may have been one of the unhappy prisoners of the battle at Worcester, 3 Sept. 1651 (that "crowning mercy" to Oliver Cromwell), of wh. 272 were ship. in Nov. after, in the John and Sarah, from London, to be sold here, arr. in May foll. at Boston. Beside this John, Alister, David, and William A. were victims of the same cruel policy in the same ship. Part of the prisoners of Dunbar, import. in the former yr. had been well receiv. as Cotton wrote to Cromwell, and sold for 6, 7, or 8 yrs. servitude. Most of these unfortunate young men d. of scurvy, or of broken hearts; and some of the exiles ran away, perhaps with good-will of their purchasers, so that not one in fifty of these soldiers that foll. Charles II. in the fatal fields of Dunbar and Worcester, and were sold in Boston, prob. five hundred in num. liv. to have fams. in our country. JOHN, Salem 1673, a shipmaster, had been, perhaps, of Boston, 1655, and adm. with w. Mary, of the sec. ch. 1672. RICHARD, New Maven, took o. of fidel. 7 Apr. 1657. ROBERT, in Mass. 6 June 1637 fin. for contempt £50, wh. was soon remit. may have been only a transient visitor. See Col. Rec. I. 198,245. WILLIAM, New Haven, took o. of fidel. 7 Apr. 1657, but neither of him. nor of Richard, who may have been his br. is any more seen. WILLIAM, Watertown, of wh. Dr. Bond found only, that he sat on a coroner's jury 26 July 1669. Gr. of this name up to 1828 Farmer found two at Harv. two at Dart. one at Yale, and eleven at the other coll. in N. E. and N. J. chiefly, I presume from the latter. ANDREW, JOHN, Wickford 1674. NICHOLAS, Marblehead 1683, freem.that yr.

See the invalu. "Cambridge Ch. gathering," by Newell with appx. of Mitchell, and Harris's Epit. A person, "well skill. in mathemat." of this name, as is ment. in Haz. I. 591, and Belkn. I. 57, is suppos. to be this Cambridge man. See Col. Rec. III. 329 and 361. SAMUEL, eldest s. of the preced. was min. of Milford, ord. 15 Nov. 1685, m. Abigail, d. of Gov. Robert Treat, wh. d. 5 Dec. 1727, had Samuel, and prob. others, and d. 21 Jan. 1738. A sec. w. Abigail, d. 9 Sept. 1742. The name has a final s. in the Conn. rec. but the Rev. owner reject. the addit.; the ch. and town rec. of Cambridge admit the letter, tho. the indisput. authority of the Coll. catal. deny, and discrimin. yet in his Hecatompolis (ch. 7 of the Magn. I.) Mather sanctifies the intrusion. WILLIAM, Cambridge, mariner, the freem. of 4 Mar. 1634, by w. Mary, wh. d. 19 Jan. 1640, had Samuel and perhaps other ch. and d. bef. 1655. WILLIAM, Ipswich, was sch. master there, and in sev. other towns, may not have been br. of Rev. Samuel, and d. 19 July 1683. But in Geneal. Rev. VIII. 19, the extr. from the interleav. Almanac of Sewall, noticing this event is remark. diverse in the name from the careful writer on the Ipswich gr. sch. in G. R. VI. 69, wh. makes Thomas Andrews succeed famous Cheever in the sch. 1 Aug. 1660, and teach. 23 yrs. and d. 10 July 1683. Vehemently do I suspect, that one or the other is mistaken, that only one man is intend. and the date of d. 10 or 19, easily reconcil. Of this name, without s. in 1834, as Farmer mark. three had been gr. at Harv. three at Yale, and one at some other N. E. coll. ANDREWS, ANDROWS (or ANDROS, sometimes), often ANDROS, ABRAHAM, Fairfield, s. perhaps of Francis, rem. to Waterbury, had eight ch. Rebecca, b. 1672; Mary, 1674; Hannah, 1678; Abraham, 1680; Sarah, bapt. 9 Mar. 1684; Rachel, 1686; John, 1688; and Thomas, 1699. ABRAHAM, Waterbury, s. of John of Farmington, m. Sarah, d. of Robert Porter of Farmington, had Sarah, bapt. 9 Mar. 1681; Abraham, 17, certain. not, as said somewhere, 27 July 1687; at Farmington ch. both; beside Mary, bapt. 19 May 1689; John, Benjamin, and Robert. He d. 3 May 1693, leav. as appears by Pro. rec. these five ch. and a wid. Between that Pro. rec. at Hartford, and the town rec. of F. as well as of W. disagreem. may be found; at least it was hard to guess, with confidence, after large inquiry, which Abraham was s. of Francis, wh. of John; and Hinman, wh. rather darkens the confus. saves hims. from anxiety by acknowledg. only one Abraham, while he informs us, that sometimes the name is giv. Andros, or Andrus. His report of Francis gives him no Abraham, and tho. [[53]] he allows one to John, the report is incomplete. BENJAMIN, Farmington, s. of John, by w. Mary, had Benjamin. b. 1683; John, 1685; both, with their mo. bapt. 10 Jan. 1687, prob. d. young; Mary, 26 Aug. 1688; Stephen, prob. 21 Sept. 1690; beside Daniel, b. 7 Feb. bapt. 10 Sept. 1693; Samuel, 20, bapt. 24 Nov. 1695; Joanna, b. 24 May 1698; James, 1 Aug 1701. *DANIEL, Salem, sch. master, in 1672, was, Dr. Bond thinks, s. of Thomas of Watertown, liv. in the pt. call. the vill. now Danvers, for wh. in the June Sess. 1689, the first yr. of liberty recov. from Andros, he was rep. and in 1692 was charg. with the preposter. crime of witchcraft, perhaps bec. he kn. more than some of his neighb. but was releas. early in the yr. foll. when reason prevail. over the influence of Cotton Mather. He d. 3 Dec. 170, aged 59, and s. Thomas, 24, with Samuel, 19, d. next mo. all of the smallpox.

EDWARD, Newport 1639, perhaps rem. to Saco, at least one of the name was freem. there 1653, acc. Folsom, 123, of the planta. I suppose he means, for he does not appear in the Col. list, d. 1668. EDWARD, Hartford 1655, sw. freem. 1657, had Edward, wh. d. unm. and Solomon; beside ds. Mary, and Sarah, of wh. the last m. Henry Treat of H. and next David Forbes. He d. 1673. EDWARD, Warwick, among freem. there 1655, but no w. or ch. is heard of; may possib. be he who was early of Newport. FRANCIS, Hartford 1639, had John, bapt. 27 Sept. 1646; and Thomas, 2 Jan. 1648; rem. to Fairfield, there d. 1662, or 3, his will being of 6 .June of the former. pro. 5 Mar. of the latter yr. In it he provides for four s. and five ds. viz. in addit. to the two bef. ment. were Jeremiah, and Abraham, ds. Elizabeth Mary; Esther; Rebecca, wh. bec. sec. w. 7 July 1678, of Samuel Benedict of Norwalk; and Ruth; beside Hannah, wh. had m. John Crampton, after of Norwalk. Quite uncert. is it, whether his s. Abraham were the man, wh. d. 1693, or he wh. had ch. 1699. *HENRY, Taunton, an orig. purchas. rep. 1639 and four next yrs. d. 1652, is chiefly kn. from his will of 13 Mar. in that yr. pro. 10 Feb. foll. in wh. are nam. his w.

Thomas, but when it is said, that he was b. 1658, I fear it is only drawing a bow at a venture, for if b. that yr. it might seem as if he should be count. br. not s. of the Capt. since the other count. makes him gr.-gr.s. of the first Thomas of the same. *JOSEPH, Hingham 1635, s. of Thomas the first, b. in Eng. freem. 3 Mar. 1636, was the first town clk. constable, rep. 1636-8, had rem. to Duxbury soon after, but Joseph, Elizabeth bapt.

WILLIAM, Lynn 1634, maybe one of the early freem. of this name, 4 Mar. 1634, or 4 Mar. 1630, or 13 May 1640; of wh. the last William's surname is giv. with o, instead of e in the last syl. but he of 1635 hav. the prefix of respect may seem rather to belong to Charlestown or Cambridge by proximity of other names in that day's list. From Lewis in Hist. of L. no light is deriv. here. WILLIAM, New Haven, a promin. man, sign. the compact 1639, prob. accomp. Gov. Eaton, and no doubt was first at Boston or Charlestown; at N.

Perhaps one of these many Williams was a carpenter, wh. came in the James from Southampton, 1635.

In 1653 he rem. to Newport, was chos. Assist. next yr. and in 1663 made by the royal chart. Presid. and by ann. elect. so cont. for eight yrs. and d. 1678.

In 1700 he went to New London, there was an anchorsmith, m. 6 Dec. 1703, Mercy, wid. of Samuel Fosdick, had Ruhamah, b. 7 Sept. 1704; and Lucretia, 26 Aug. 1706; and d. 26 Aug. 1725, says the gr.stone, "aged a. 73 yrs."

He had been bapt. 18 Apr. 1599. THOMAS, Providence, call. jun. when he took o. of alleg. June 1668, was s. of the preced. by sec. w. and d. 3 Dec. 1726. Confus. in parts of the rec. of this fam. in R. I. is found, but it may be avoid. by caution, as the fam. tradit. makes sec. w. of the first Thomas to be Park, instead of Palkhurst, and where it tells, that a d. m. a Vernon, it may be easy blunder for Farnum. WILLIAM, Hingham 1635, br. of the first Thomas, b. as is said, 1589, had Benedict, Thomas, Stephen, beside one d. Joanna, wh. m. Zechary Rhodes, and ano. Elizabeth wh. m.

Backus notes, that he was anc. of the infamously unhappy Benedict of West Point. Of the ch. of one Arnold of Reading recov. from sickness near to d. we may read the story in Mather's Life of Brock, Magn. IV. 142, that is lamenta. extravag. and seems more ridicul. than extravag.

John, Joseph, Elizabeth Margaret, and Mary; but after his d. she with the ch. went to her f. then liv. at Nantucket, yet it is not my happiness to find any other of this surname on our side of the ocean, exc. the two s. of wh. Joseph went to Phila. and JOHN, of Nantucket, wh. m. 26 Feb. 1704, Mary, youngest d. of Eleazer Folger, had Keturah; Eunice, b. 29 Aug. 1706; Rhoda, 26 Nov. 1708; Persis, 17 Nov. 1710; Thomas, 8 Nov. 1712; Stephen, 2 Feb. 1715; and Priscilla, 2 Nov. 1718.

Caulkins, 351, considers him the same, had Anthony, and two ds. Mary, and Hannah, old eno. to [[68]] join the ch. Feb. 1694. There, too, descend. were seen. BENJAMIN, Salem 1674, s. perhaps of Anthony the first, by w. Hannah had John, bapt. June 1693; Jonathan, 23 Sept. 1694; and prob. others. He was a shipbuild. EDWARD, Beverly, freem. 1683, perhaps s. of the first Anthony. Felt. THOMAS, New Haven, whose goods were order. to be apprais. 3 Apr. 1640, as he was lately drown. in co. with Thomas Johnson. Sometimes, perhaps, the first Anthony may be print. Ashley. ASHCRAFT, JOHN, Stonington 1662, m. 12 Sept. 1670, Hannah Osborne, had John, b. 1671; Hannah, 1675; Ephraim, 1677; and Mary, 1680. Prob. descend. are there; and one Thomas A. mariner from Boston, d. Sept. 1724, at Bay of Honduras, leav. will made here 13 Jan. 1723. ASHDOWN, JOHN, Weymouth, a soldier in Philip's war, at the Falls fight. No descend. were kn. 1736, when ld. was gr. to rep. of all in that stout band. ASHFIELD, WILLIAM, Malden by w.

One of the lines to seventh generat. is shown by Davis in Geneal. Reg. II. 394. EDMUND, Boston 1670, had liv. at Ipswich. EDWARD, Maine 1630, was prob. from Bristol, Eng. and may be he, who had a lot, a. 1650, at Gloucester, but it is not prob. EDWARD, Boston, freem. 1677, by w.

His wid. m. 2 Mar. foll. Joseph Williston.

Lancaster, Eng. was, I suppose, of Providence 1676, one of the men entitled, for staying out the war, to rec. an Ind. for a slave. JAMES, Providence 1639, freem. 1655, sw. alleg. to Charles II.

Southgate, p. 82 makes him have for first w. a. d. of Andrew Alger, but after rem. says, he m. Mary, d. of Nicholas Edgcomb, wid. of George Page. Yet the same w. is ascrib. to John Austin, and all that we can be sure of, is that nothing is sure a. the matter. THOMAS, Providence 1639, perhaps br. of James. Both are call. proprs. and that no more can be told of either, is rather remarka. ASHWOOD, JAMES, Boston. See Astwood.

Leavens, prob. from Roxbury, had one d. only kn. without name. SAMUEL, Brookline, eldest s. of Peter the first, m. Sarah Stevens of Roxbury, had Thomas ; Samuel, H. C. 1714; Mehitable; Elizabeth and Sarah; was a lieut. at the capt. of Port Royal 1690, and capt. at the time of his d. wh. occurr. by drown. in Charles riv. 6 Sept. 1727. His s. Thomas was f. of William, H. C. 1764, a disting. physician of the early part of this cent. and f. of Col. Thomas, H. C. 1804, late consul of the U. S. at London, so well kn. for his studies in our early hist. wh. still enjoys a valu. part of the orig. homestead of Peter the first. WILLIAM, Charlestown 1630, prob. came in the fleet with Winthrop, serv. on the first jury of inquest in the Col. 28 Sept. of that yr. was one of the first mem. of the ch. being No. 10, and chos. one of the two deac. [[71]] at organiz. of ch. soon rem. to Boston, freem. 3 Apr. 1632, rep. chos. in place of Henry Vane, wh. went home Aug,. 1637; but as a supporter of Wheelwright, and follow. of the teach. of Mrs. Hutchinson, was dismiss. disarm. disfranch. and banish. First he went to R. I. with so many other of his fellow saints, and was Secr. of that Col. but short time he liv. at New Haven 1641 and 2, yet came again, by favor of Court, to Boston, was clk. of the writs, or recorder, and ar. co. 1643; certain. a propr. at Watertown, tho. never resid. there, went home, and in 1653 publish. a queer book as prognostic of the millennium to open in 20 yrs. No mortificat. was felt prob. by him for non-arriv. of this fifth monarchy, as I suppose he did not even live to see the success of the rival dynasty. Cromwell alone was powerful eno. to retard such event, and the whole body of the people of Eng. with unanim. that was never bef. or since equal. in that kingd. by calls for the restor. of the ho. of Stuart postpon. the success of such enthusiasm. Of his fam. my report will be less exact than should be expect. yet that is not for failure of diligent inquiry. By w. Elizabeth (somehow sis. of Christopher Stanley, more prob. of his w. Susanna, wh. bec. w. of Lieut. William Phillips) he had Edward, b. 26 Sept. 1630, d. soon; Hannah, 25 Dec. 1631; and of neither is the rec. of bapt. preserv. Elizabeth of whose b. the town rec. is defic. was bapt. 22 Sept. 1633; Samuel, equal. unkn. by town rec. was bapt. 20th Sept. 1635; Ethannah, b. 1, bapt. 12 Mar. 1637; and Dorcas, b. in his banishm. 14 Feb. 1640, and perhaps Mary. Hannah m. 1651, John Angier. ASTWOOD, JAMES, Roxbury, came (with w. Sarah and a ch. wh. soon d.) in May 1638, had James, b. 29 Nov. 1638; John, 20 Sept. 1610, d. at 6 mos. John, again, whose b. is wrong on rec. of town, as he was bapt. 6 Mar. 1642; Joseph, 19 Nov. 1643, d. soon; Joseph, again, 10 Nov. 1644; both these dates being giv. as rec. of b. that may well be doubt. as both were the days of bapt. Sarah, bapt. 14 June 1646; and Mary, 26 Dec. 1647; of whose dates of b. it may be slightly lament. that we are ign. He was freem. 22 May 1639, rem. to Boston to bec. one of the found. of the sec. ch. where the name is Ulit. prob. as sound. Ashwood. The d. Mary, d. 21 Jan. 1652; and he d. the yr. after. His will of Sept. 1653, pro. 13 Oct. foll. is abbrev. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 337; and his wid. refus. execut. of that instrum. by wh. the est. was div. into seven parts, excus. hers. as going to Eng. In Vol. VIII. 62 of the same periodic. where the name appears Astod, as if the alphabet were short, as p. 275 proves were the assets, not above 1/6 in the £, we see adequate apology. JOHN, Roxbury, came by the Hopewell, Capt. Bundocke, in the spring, of 1635, aged 26, a husbandman from Stanstead Abbey, Co. Herts, at R. had a w. Martha, wh. may have come in the same ship, was freem. 3 Mar. 1636, rem. to Milford 1639, there m. next yr. Sarah, wid. [[72]] of Sylvester Baldwin, was chos. rep. 1643 and 4, afterwards an Assist. of the Col. and a Commissioner. of the Unit. Cols. in 1653, went home, as agent, the next yr. and d. at London soon. His wid. d. Nov. 1669. ATCHINSON, or ATCHISON, JOHN, Hatfield 1672, k. by the Ind. 19 Sept. 1677, leav. Elizabeth Mary, John, and Benoni, of wh. the last d. 1704 at Springfield, and John d. 1738 at Brimfield. ATHEARN, SIMON, Martha's Vineyard, had come from New Hampsh. it is said, and m. Mary Butler, was rep. 1692, first under the new chart. by wh. that isl. was tak. from New York, and giv. to Mass. d. 26 Feb. 1711, aged 71. His ch. Solomon, Jethro, and Zerviah were bapt. at Barnstable, 14 July 1700, in right of his w. Descend. are num. at the Vineyard. ATHERSTON, JOHN, Boston, came from London, 1634, in the Susan and Ellen, aged 24; but we see not any acco. of his resid. ret. or d. ATHERTON, CONSIDER, Dorchester, s. of Humphrey of the same, m. 19 Dec. 1661 Ann Annable, as Mr. Clapp, the histor. of D. assures me, and I wish he could say, whose d. she was, had Humphrey, whose pious duty in repair. the sepulchre of his gr.f. the town reward. by gr. of 9 acres of meadow. HOPE, Hatfield, s. of Humphrey, after leav. coll. taught for some time the gr. sch. at Dorchester, began in 1669 to preach, was ord. 1671, freem. 1672, m. 1674, Sarah, d. of John Hollister of Wethersfield, had Hope, and Joseph, tw. b. 7 Jan. 1675, of wh. Hope prob. d. soon; and Sarah, 26 Oct. 1676. He serv. as chaplain, in Philip's war, to those forces employ. in the neighb. and at the battle of the Falls in Montague was present, 18 May 1676, under Capt. Turner, whose name has been since giv. to the cataract. During, the retreat he was thrown from his horse, and lost in the woods; and tradit. tells (Hoyt's Antiq. Research. 133, 4), that the Ind. to wh. he in his destitut. offer. to surrender; so reverenc. or fear. his madness or sanctity, as to refuse to rec. him. He reach. home uninjur. exc. in the mind, hav. strange hallucinat. prob. from exhaust. or sleeplessn. or hunger, and d. 8 June 1677. The wid. m. Timothy Baker. * HUMPHREY, Dorchester 1636, came, perhaps, from Preston in Lancash. where the name contin. so late as 1780; was freem. 2 May 1638, ar. co. the same yr. and its capt. 1650, often selectman, and rep. nine yrs. fr. 1638, but not in success. yrs. and an Assist. chos. ann. 1654 to his d. and in 1656, succeed. Sedgwick, as Major-Gen. He d. 16 Sept. 1661, says the inscript. print. in Alden's Epit. and as that was Monday, and prob. refers to the cause of his d. thrown from his horse, on return from milit. rev. on Boston common by rid. over a cow, I prefer to say 17 Sept. (a. one o'clock. A. M. acc. the MS. of John Hull's Diary). Capt. Johnson, in Wonderwork. Provid. of Zion's Saviour; gives him good character; and Hubbard excites our fears, that everybody did not value [[73]] him so highly, when he remarks, that by some "the manner of his d. was noted as a judgmt." Of what sin this judgmt. was thus noted, we may hardly venture to guess, tho. when mortals direct the bolts of eternal justice, their aim is commonly unanimous. Strange, it seems to me, is the indefiniteness of our knowl. of so promin. a man; for even the name of his w. is not seen. Yet ten or eleven ch. are kn. at least by name, and one or more there may have been of unkn. names; one or more b. in Eng. one or more of unkn. sex, if we are compel. to guess by their names; and one or more d. bef. the f. Of s. the oldest was Jonathan; of ds. Catharine (sometimes call. Elizabeth), but wh. of the two, both b. in Eng. was elder, is uncert. Other ch. were Rest, bapt. 26 May 1639; Increase, 2 Jan. 1642; Thankful, 28 Apr. 1644; Hope, 30 Aug. 1646, H. C. 1665, bef. ment.; Mary, wh. must not be the same as Margaret, whose dates of b. or bapt. are equally undiscov.; Watching, bapt. 24 Aug. 1651; Patience, 2 Apr. 1654; and Consider. Great persev. was need. to learn, that Catharine m. 1650, Timothy Mather; Margaret m. 30 Dec. 1659, James Trowbridge, and d. 17 June 1672; Rest m. 15 Mar. 1661, Obadiah Swift; Thankful m. 2 Apr. 1665, Thomas Bird jr.; Mary m. 9 Apr. 1667, Joseph Weeks; and Patience m. Isaac Humphrey. JAMES, Dorchester; perhaps br. of the preced. rem. to Lancaster, where he had James, b. 13 May 1654; and Joshua, 13 May 1656; and soon after ret. to D. and liv. 1678 at Milton, but at last rem. to Sherburn, and d. 1707, aged 86, unless deduct. be made for a common dispos. to exagger. If conject. be indulg. that he was s. of Humphrey (wh. seems to me improb.) very large subtract. will be need. JONATHAN, Dorchester, eldest s. of Humphrey, a mariner, had admin. of est. of the f. and trouble eno. with the interest by his f. with Gookin, Hudson, and others taken in the Narraganset lds. and there he had to plant, I believe, a s. Increase, unless this were his br. But wh. was his w. or what fam. he had, is unlin. JOSHUA, Lancaster, s. of James, m. Mary Gulliver of Milton, had sev. ch. of wh. I kn. only, that the sixth and youngest s. Peter was f. of Joshua, H. C. 1762, wh. was f. of Hon. Charles H. of Amherst, N. H. gr. at H. C. 1794. WATCHING, Dorchester, s. of Humphrey, m. 23 Jan. 1678, Elizabeth d. of Samuel Rigby, had two ch. whose names are not told; rem. to Bristol, there in Feb. 1689 count. four ch. WILLIAM, Boston, came from Barbados, in the ship Nathaniel, emb. 4 Oct. 1671. Of this name, in 1834, five had been gr. at Harv. and two at Dart. ATKINS, ABRAHAM, may have been of Boston, or some neighb. town, as he is of ar. co. 1642. HENRY, Yarmouth 1641, rem. to Plymouth, by w. Elizabeth m. 9 July 1647, had Mary, b. 13 Mar. 1649, wh. d. at 2 yrs. Samuel, 24 Feb. 1652, wh. d. young; Isaac, 15 June 1654, d. young; rem. to Eastham, there had Isaac, again, 14 June 1657; and his w. d. 14 Mar. 1662. He m. 25 Mar. 1664, Bethia Linnell, had Desire, 7 May [[74]] 1665; John, 15 Dec. 1666, d. young; Nathaniel, 25 Dec. 1667; Joseph, 4 Mar. 1669; Thomas, 19 June 1671; John, again, 6 Aug. 1674; Mercy, 24 Nov. 1676; and Samuel, again, 25 June 1679. JAMES, Roxbury, had been of Braintree, was a soldier in the Narranset bloody campaign, of Dec. 1675, by w. Margaret had James, b. Feb. 1683, d. at 1 yr.; James, again, 31 Mar. 1684; and no more is heard of him. JOSEPH, Eastham, s. of Henry, by w.

MATTHEW, Boston, freem. 1673, in Col. Rec. call. of sec. ch. at the date of Oct. tho. the ch. list gives him not until Dec. NATHANIEL, Eastham, s. of Henry, had Nathaniel, b. 21 Nov. 1694; Henry, 2 Aug. 1696; Bethia, 4 May 1698; Joshua, Apr. 1702; Isaiah, 24 Feb. 1704; and Elizabeth 4 Jan. 1709. THOMAS, Boston, carpenter, by w. Mary had Elizabeth b. 30 Dec. 1672; Thomas, 26 Feb. 1674; and m. for sec. 11 Aug. 1687, wid. Abigail Jones had Abigail, 3 June 1688; and Richard, 12 Oct. 1689. In 1676 he was made capt. of the first fire engine introd. into the town. THOMAS, Hartford. See Adkins. TOBIAS, Boston, by w. Ann had Ann, b. 2 July 1684; and Eliphal, 4 Dec. 1688. By m. of a d. Catharine, of Gov. Joseph Dudley with Joseph Atkins, the name of Dudley A. has long been perpet. as at Harv. Coll. 1748, 1784, and 1816, the sec. in the list, wh. took in addit. the name of Tyn, from an earlier ancest. was a disting. gentleman at Newburyport and Boston. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. II. 280. ATKINSON, ADKINSON, or ATKESON, JOHN, Newbury, s. of the first Theodore, was a hatter, m. 27 Apr. 1664, Sarah Mirick, had Sarah, b. 27 Nov. 1665; John; Thomas, 27 Dec. 1669, wh. may be well rec. as H. C. 1691, whose d. is not mark. in the catal. but Coffin foll. Mather, makes it bef. 1699; Theodore, 23 Jan. 1672, drown. at 13 yrs.; Abigail, 8 Nov. 1673; Samuel, 16 Jan. 1676; Nathaniel, 29 Nov. 1677; Elizabeth 20 June 1680; and Joseph, 1 May 1682. JOSEPH, Exeter,in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 77, said to have been adm. freem. 14 July 1657, at that place; upon wh. arises the quest. by what authority was he adm. and no more can, I think, be told. LUKE, New Haven, of the earliest sett. sign. the compact 1639, bef. 1643 is count. with fam. of four, m. 1 May 1651, prob. as sec. w. Mary, d. of Richard Platt of Milford, had Mary, b. 1652; Hannah, 1653; and Sarah, 1655; rem. next yr. whither is unkn. perhaps to Middletown, for there his wid. m. 3 Jan. 1667, Thomas Whitmore, or Wetmore, and bore him two ch. nam. in his will by their gr.f. Platt in 1683. MARMADUKE, Scituate, m. 1670, Mary, d. of Edward Jenkins, and in 1674 she obt. divorce for his desert.

Abigail had John, bef. ment. whose day of b. or bapt. is not found (but we may doubt, that Geneal. Reg. VII. 349 mak. him 44 yrs. old in 1678 is too liberal by seven or eight yrs.); Theodore, b. 19, bapt. 28 Apr. 1644; Nathaniel, 28, bapt. 30 Nov. 1645, H. C. 1667, d. by Mather's Catal.; Abigail, 24 Aug,. 1647, d. young,; Thomas, 1654; Abigail, again, 9 Dec. 1657; and by sec. w. m. Oct. 1667, Mary, d. of Rev. John Wheelwright, wid. of Edward Lyde, had John, again, 13 June 1672; and d. Aug. 1701, aged 89. Abigail, m. Abraham Spencer. THEODORE, Boston, s. of the preced. m. Elizabeth d. of Edward Mitchelson, had Elizabeth b. 25 June 1668; Theodore, 3 Oct. 1669; Edward, 8 Sept. 1671; and Abigail 13 Dec. 16G72. He was k. by the Ind. in the gr. fight of 19 Dec. 1675, serv. as serj. in Davenport's comp. at Narranganset; and his wid. m. 15 Nov. foll. Henry Deering.

THOMAS, Concord, freem. 7 Dec. 1636, by w. Susanna had Susanna, b. 28 Apr. 1641; and Hannah, 5 Mar. 1644; and he d. Nov. 1646. Both of the ds. m. Caleb Brooks, the elder on 10 Apr. 1660, and d. 19 Jan. 1669. But he had an elder d. Rebecca, that m. John Hayward; and the wid. of Atkinson m. William Allen. THOMAS, Plymouth 1638. Eight of this name had been gr. in 1838, at Harv. and two at Dart. ATWATER, DAVID, New Haven 1638, came from London, sign. the planta. coven. 4 June 1639, had Mercy, b. 29 Feb. bapt. 5 Mar. 1648; Damaris, b. 2 Nov. but the ch. rec. has bapt. 21 Oct. 1649, and usually the town rec. is far more to be relied on than that of the ch. at New Haven, tho. the contrary is true in most towns, yet here the day assign. for bapt. in Geneal. Reg. IX. 357 may be true, tho. in a wonderful proportion, almost one half of the instances, it can be prov. to be wrong; David, 13 July, bapt. I judge, 3 Aug. tho. Mr. White gives it 13 Aug. 1651, wh. we kn. is mistake; Joshua, 11 Jan. bapt. prob. 6 Feb. 1653, ch. rec. as Mr. White gives it, being 11, wh. was Friday, when John Davenport would rather have anathematiz. than bapt. any ch.; John, 1 Nov. 1654, bapt. I presume, 5 of the same, tho. ch. rec. has 1, wh. was Wednesday; Jonathan, b. 12 July 1656; Abigail, 3 Mar. 1660, bapt. 1 Apr. foll.; Mary, 31 Mar. 1662, bapt. 20 Apr. foll. as I judge, tho. the ch. rec. as Mr. White prints it, be 22; Samuel, b. 17 Sept. 1664; and Ebenezer, 13 Jan. 1667; all of wh. are nam. as liv. May 1676,by the will of his br. Joshua. He d. 1692, and in his will the yr. bef. names all the s. exc. Joshua, wh. had liv. at Wallingford, m. 24 June 1680, Lydia d. of John Rockwell of Windsor, and both h. and w. without ch. d. 1681. Of the ds. I kn. the m. of four, Mercy to John Austin, and Damaris to John Punderson, both on 5 Nov. 1667; Abigail to Nathaniel Jones, [[76]] 7 Oct. 1684; and Mary to Ichabod Stow of Middletown, 22 Oct. 1688. DAVID, New Haven, eldest s. of the preced. had Joanna, b. 24 Feb. 1683; Abigail, 18 Jan. 1685; and Joshua, 6 Dec. 1686.

Adam Blackman of Stratford, had Ann; Samuel, b. 20 June 1654, prob. d. young; Joshua, 10 Apr. bapt. 21 Nov. 1658; and Mary, 1659; was rep. 1652, rem. 1655 to Milford, there had the last named two ch. was Assist. and Treasr. of the Col. but rem. in 1659 to Boston, there had Mary, b. 15 Jan. 1660; John, 14 Aug. 1662, bef. ment.; Abigail, 23 Jan. 1664; Jane, with an alias Grace, on our rec. 9 Sept. 1666; Elinor, 23 Apr. 1669; and Benjamin, 16 May 1673; was a busy trader, d. 16, bur. 18 May 1676, leav. wid. wh. in few mos. m.

John Clark, wh. d. in Barbary of smallpox, and she next m. 8 Nov. 1694 John Coney, outliv. him, and d. 12 Apr. 1726. Both these ds. and Rebecca, a gr.d. but no s. are nam. in the will of Higginson's wid. JOSHUA, Boston, s. of the preced. by w. Rebecca had Rebecca, b. 25 Feb. 1687; and by w. Mary, as the rec. (perhaps untrustworthy in this name) says, had Samuel, b. 3 Mar. 1688. Easy eno. may be the conject. as to error, that the writer in the clerk's office took Mary as w. of Joshua, bec. he saw such connex. of parents with ch. few yr.s. bef. but equal. easy is the other suppos. that Rebecca was not the true name of the w. but carelessly giv. bec. the ch. had that name. To this latter suggest. is perhaps to be add. that it is somewhere writ. that Josnua m. Mary, wid. of Samuel Smith, and d. of Samuel Maverick. After long research, I am not enlight. eno. to speak with decis. SAMUEL, New Haven, br. of Jonathan of the same, m. 1691, Sarah, d. of the first John Alling, had ten ch. In the New Haven fam. the name is perpet. and gr. at Yale in 1834 were count. fifteen, two at other N. E. coll. none at Harv. ATWELL, BENJAMIN, New London, by w.

Sept. 1640, when his mo. was a wid. but bec. w. of Richard Martin, was after of Falmouth, there k. by the Ind. 11 Aug. 1676, leav. Joseph only 5 yrs. old. Willis, I. 37, 134, 140 and 3. One Joan A. wh. testif. 1688, that she was 60 yrs. old, had been, I think, wid. of John Andrews, and was then wid. of Benjamin Atwell. JOHN, Lynn 1650.

Ann, but no issue, unless that Mary Wood, very often used for Atwood, wh. m. 11 Dec. 1661, John Holmes, wh. bec. min. of Duxbury, were his d. wh. is very unlikely, for in his will of 20 Oct. 1643, as Winsor, 180, tells, he names no ch. but gives most of his prop. to w. wh. d. 1 June 1654, and in her will, of 27 Apr. 1650, she divides her est. betw. br. and sis.

Sarah had John, b. 23 May 1671, d. young; James, 3 June 1673; Samuel, 18 May 1687; and Sarah, 11 Nov. 1688; and by sec. w.

Hinman. JOSEPH, Taunton, m. 1 Jan. 1680, Esther, d. of James Walker, had Joseph, b. 4 Aug. 1681; John, 28 Feb. 1683; Ephraim; and perhaps Joanna. His w. d. 8 Apr. 1696, aged 46, and he [[78]] d. 12 Feb. foll. aged 47. JOSIAH, Wethersfield, br. of Jonathan, m. 16 Feb. 1710, Bathshebia, d. of Bazaleel Lattimore, had Abigail, b. 6 Dec. foll.; Oliver, 1 Mar. 1716; Jedediah, 28 June 1719; Josiah, and Hezekiah, tw. 13 Apr. 1727; and Asher, 27 Dec. 1729.

OLIVER, Malden, youngest s. of Philip the first m. in 1700 Ann Betts. PHILIP, Malden 1653, came from London in the Susan and Ellen, 1635, aged 13, or in the Planter, aged 12, for, I suppose, by the doub. entry only one boy is meant, had Rachel, b. Aug. 1653; Mary, Jan. 1656; Philip, Sept. 1658; Abigail, Dec. 1662; Elizabeth Aug. 1669; and Oliver, Apr. 1671; all probably by w. Rachel, d. I judge, of William Bachiler of Charlestown, wh. d. 5 Feb. or 7 Nov. 1674, the same rec. in Geneal. Reg. X. 241, coming from a most scrupulous hand, giv. both dates. He m. 7 Apr. 1675, Elizabeth Grover, wid. of Thomas, and she d. 3 Apr. 1688. His d. Elizabeth m. 26 Nov. foll. Philip Fowle. Perhaps he liv. some yrs. at Bradford. PHILIP, Lynn, s. prob. of the preced. m. at Bradford, 23 July 1684, Sarah Tenny of B. had at Malden, Susanna, b. 1 Feb. 1687; Sarah, 13 Apr. 1689; Rachel, 15 Nov. 1691; but perhaps others bef. or after rem.

THOMAS, Hartford 1664, by idle tradit. call. a capt. under Cromwell, was really a physician, and, 1668, of Wethersfield, by w. Abigail had Abigail, b. 30 Sept. of that yr.; Andrew, 1 Sept. 1671; Jonathan, 8 June 1675; and Joseph, 4 Oct. 1678; all liv. at his d. 1682. THOMAS, Ipswich, d. 3 Apr. 1694; and his wid. Elizabeth by wh. I kn. not that he had issue, m. 9 Sept. 1697, John West of the same, and d. 20 Aug. 1720. WILLIAM, Charlestown, freem. 1662. Of this name four have been gr. at Yale, all descend. of Herman, of wh. John M. of the class of 1814, and Charles, 1821, are brs. of Harriet Newell, the celebr. missionary in the E. Ind. AUBREY, WILLIAM, Boston, merch. came in virtue of a contr. made 1650, from London, factor for the iron works at Lynn, and was adm. 1652 of ar. co. m. 18 Jan. 1653, Rachel, d. of Secr. Edward Rawson. AUDLEY, EDMUND, Lynn, 1641. Lewis. JOHN, Boston 1632, thus spell. on the ch. rec. where his name stands No. 139; but common. it is Odlin or Odlyn, wh. see. AUGER, AGAR, or AUGUR, ANDREW, Saco, or Scarborough, perhaps better entit. See Alger. BENJAMIN, Salem, s. of William of the same, a shipwright, m. Ann, d. of Thomas Cromwell, had Benjamin, and Thomas, perhaps others, and d. Nov. 1671. His wid. m. 26 June 1672, David [[79]] Phippen. JOHN, Boston, by w. Hannah had John, b. 16 Sept. 1652. JONATHAN, Salem, br. of Benjamin, had perhaps Jonathan, wh. d. young; and Mary, ment. in a deed of 1709; but we. kn. not his wh. nor of him any thing more, exc. that in testif. 19 Oct. 1716, he call. hims. 77 yrs. old. NICHOLAS, New Haven 1643, a physician and trader, sw. alleg. 5 Aug. 1644, had brs. John and Robert (unless the latter were neph.) to wh. with sis. Esther Coster he gave most of his est. that was a good one, by will of 20 Sept. 1669, being "bound on a voyage to Boston." Yet he got back safe, and liv. sev. yrs. He was the sufferer, I judge, in 1676 and 7, on the voyage from Boston to N. H. cast away on a desolate isl. in the little vessel with Ephraim How, near Cape Sable, relation of wh. in Mather's best manner, may be read in Magn. VI. appropr. call. Thaumaturgus, c. 1. Of his inv. of £1638 the date is 26 Feb. 1678. The larger part his sis. had, to br. John (prob. then in Eng.) the beq. was only £20, and John's s. Nicholas had £100, and ano. s. had £40, and Robert, £150. After Mrs. Coster d 5 Apr. 1691, Robert, the next of kin, resist. pro. of her will, cont. some beq. for "support of religion and learning;" but he met with no success. ROBERT, New Haven, prob. neph. tho. Dodd calls him br. of the preced. m. 20 Nov. 1673, Mary, d. of dep. gov. Matthew Gilbert, had Esther, b. 19 Oct. 1677; John, 26 Nov. 1678, d. young; Ann, 14 Nov. 1682; Mary, again, 1683, d. soon; and John, again, 16 Nov. 1686; but the last was by sec. w. THOMAS, Watertown 1663, of wh. Bond, writing his name Agar, found not w. or ch. but prob. he rem. to Taunton, for the rec. of that town tells, that he m. Nov. 1665, Elizabeth Packer. But I think she may have been d. of Samuel Packard of Bridgewater, and her h. liv. in that town, perhaps, but they had then no magistr. authoriz. to solemn. m. WILLIAM, Salem 1636, perhaps earlier,for he was adm. freem. of Mass. 18 May 1631, when the Secr. gave the name Agar; by w. Alice had Benjamin, bapt. 12 Feb. 1637; and Jonathan, 10 Nov. 1639; beside elder ch. Joseph, and Abigail, wh. bec. w. of Joseph Kibben, or Kibby; and he d. 1654. His will of 31 May, pro. Nov. in that yr. names the w. and four ch. but notes, that Joseph was abroad. In ist. Coll. of Essc Inst. I. 11, Mr. Patch finds the date of his will to be 3 Mar. and of pro. June of that yr. WILLIAM, Malden, m. 7 Dec. 1659, Ruth, d. of Abraham Hill, had William, b. 20 Apr. 1661, d. soon; William, again, 30 Nov. 1662; ano. perhaps John, Oct. 1667. AUGUSTINE, JOHN, Reading 1677, had come from the Isle of Jersey, and had serv. in the comp. of Turner in the latter part of Philip's war, and in that yr. by deed on our rec. sold to John Brock; of the same place all the goods and chat. ho. and lds. left to him by f. and mo. He m. 10 Jan. 1677, Elizabeth d. of John Brown of Watertown, as Bond, 145, tells; and in 1680 took a gr. of ld. at Falmouth from Presid. Danforth, and bot. more; but on destr. by the Ind. and French, 1690, he rem. to Lynn, but [[80]] went back to F. 1719. He left wid. Elizabeth and ch. Samuel, John, Ebenezer, Thomas, David, Sarah, and Abigail, of wh. descend. are found in the vicin. to this day. Gradual change occurs in his name to Gustan, or Gustin, and is justif. by his own writ. but the wild perversity of a scrivener had pleasure in turning him into Augustine John. See Suff. Deeds, X. 131, and Willis, I. 161, 210. AULT, sometime writ. OLT, JOHN, Portsmouth 1631, sent out by Mason, the royal propr. liv. at Dover 1648 to 1657, in wh. yr. he was 73 yrs. old, and was liv. 1679. By w. Remembrance he had John; Remembrance, wh. m.

EBENEZER, Charlestown, s. of the sec. Richard, m. 8 July 1685, wid. Thankful Benjamin, had Sarah, b. 24 Oct. foll. if no error be in the rec. Elizabeth 26 Apr. 1687; and his w. d. 4 Mar. 1691. He m. 27 Jan. 1692, Rebecca, d. of Samuel Sprague of Malden, had Benjamin, 24 Feb. 1697; Rebecca, 8 Feb. 1700; both prob. d. young; Ebenezer, 21 Jan. 1704; John, 15 May 1706; Nathaniel, 3 Feb. 1708; Timothy, 16 Dec. 1710, prob. d. young; Rebecca, again, 21 Aug. 1715; Benjamin, again, 9 Mar. 1717; Timothy, again; and Samuel, 6 May 1721; and d. 16 Jan. 1723. From this last Benjamin, wh. m. 9 Dec. 1742 Elizabeth Waldo, came Hon. Jonathan L. b. 22 Dec. 1747, H. C. 1766, wh. was f. of Hon. James T. late Atty. Gen. of Mass. H. C. 1802; and Hon.

He m. 21 Jan. 1685, Elizabeth Brackett, and had Sarah, 23 Jan. 1686; and Elizabeth 1687. In 1675,a wid. Joan Jones, perhaps near relat. gave him very good est. and he d. 1690; and his wid. was d. 1695. JOHN, Scarborough, wh. m. a d. of Andrew Alger, is more common. call. Ashton, wh. see, also Southgate, 82. A [[81]] JOHN of Hartford m. Mary, wid. of Nathaniel Hooker, may be one generat. later than the s. of him of New Haven. JONAH, Hingham 1635, came in the Hercules, with w. Constance, from Sandwich, Co. Kent. He was of Tenterden; and the mayor of that borough, John Austin, perhaps his f. or near relat. certif. a. tak. the o. in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 274. Perhaps he first sat down at Cambridge, then call. Newtown, and was not many yrs. at H. being, found at Taunton 1643, and he d. there 30 July 1683.

JOSEPH, Charlestown, s. of Richard the sec. m. 10 Nov. 1692, Elizabeth Pitts; and I kn. no more. exc. by his will of 1736, pro. 18 June 1739, in wh. Elizabeth is nam. beside ch.

WILLIAM, Charlestown, s. of Richard the sec. m. 30 June 1696, Hannah Trarice, d. prob. of John of the same; but I find no more of him. One of this surname, whose bapt. name is not seen, would have gone home in 1638, from New Haven, with large prop. but was taken by the Turks, [[82]] and sold at Algiers with w. and fam. as is relat. in Winthrop Hist. II. 12, 13; so that prob. no descend. remain. Gr. in 1838 at Harv. were ten, Yale eight, and Dart. one. AVERILL, WILLIAM, Ipswich 1638, d. 1653, leav. w.

He had brot. from Eng. s. James, perhaps other ch. and was old eno. in 1667 to claim release from watch. and train. prob. d. in few yrs. Descend. have been num. and respectab. JAMES, Gloucester, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. a. 1620, m. 10 Nov. 1643, Jane Greenslade of Boston, had Hannah, b. 12 Oct. 1644; James 16 Dec. 1646; and Mary, 19 Feb. 1648; rem. that yr. to New London, there had Thomas, 6 May 1651; John, 10 Feb. 1634; Rebecca, 6 Oct. 1656; Jonathan, 5 Jan. 1609; Christopher, 30 Apr. 1661; both d. young; Samuel, 14 Aug. 1664; and Joanna, 1669. He was held in high esteem, lieut. capt. rep. 1659, often after to 1669, serv. in Philip's war, when he command. the Pequot allied force, and was liv. in Feb. 1694. JAMES, New London, s. of the preced. m. Deborah, d. prob. eldest of Edward Stallion, and well perpet. the fam. name. tho. in Caulkins I see not names and dates of ch. JOHN, Dorchester 1642, rem. to Boston, d. 31 July 1654. JOHN, of New Hampsh. was one of those wh. solicit. the protect. of Mass. in 1689.

Michael Wigglesworth. JOSEPH, (not John, as Mather, in his ambitious cap. 2 of Magn. III. 77, mislead all succeed. writers, until the recent publicat. of our contemp. Col. Rec. I. 154); would have been call. of Marblehead, as he was going to that settlem. from Ipswich, when he was lost 15 Aug. 1635, by shipwreck of the little bark in wh. with his fam. of eleven, as his cous. and fellow passeng. Thomas Thacher tells in his Narrative. By that, one of the most affecting and effective stories of disasters of this sort, Dr. Young enrich. his Chronicles of Mass. from Winthrop I. 165, we hear of the w. and six small ch. that perish with him, but the resid. no doubt, were serv. He had been a min. in his native Co. prob. of Wiltsh. and I judge had come in the James from Southampton that brot. his kinsman Thacher, but [[83]] nobody informs us, at wh. of the Univ. he was bred, or of wh. parish he had taught. Hubbard, 200, may not be taken for authority as to his coming, in the Angel Gabriel (if so he meant to be understood), for he was arr. at Boston the day bef. the Angel Gabriel weighed her anchor below Bristol. Thacher, as in the rec. bef. cited, was by our Gen. Ct. made admor. and in his inv. as well as the appoint. the dec. is named Joseph. One wh. reads with appreciative skill the authentic Narrative will disregard the acco. in the Magnalia, nor wonder, why the most heedless of authors call. him John. MATTHEW, Charlestown, mariner, had w. Ann, and s. John, to wh. by his will of 20 Apr. 1642, being then at London, pro. 13 of next Apr. he devis. his 400 acres of ld. at C.ROBERT, Dedham, perhaps s. of William of the same, was the freem. of 1690, I think, spelt Awry in the invalua. list of Mr. Paige, Geneal.

C. 1706; Jonathan, 20 Jan. 1695; and Abigail, 8 May 1699; and he d. 4 Oct. 1722. SAMUEL, New London, youngest s. of James the first, liv. on that side made Groton, of wh. town he was first officer, 1705. THOMAS, Salem, came in the John and Mary, was a blacksmith, and freem. 28 Dec. 1643. THOMAS, New London, s. of James the first, m. Ann, d. of Benjamin Shapley.

He was a lieut. 1673, of the town's comp. and freem. 1677; possib. the bookseller, ment. by Thomas, in his Hist. II. 411, certain. the rep. for Springfield 1669, and he d. at Boston 18 Mar. 1687, aged a. 65. His w. Margaret had d. 28 Sept. 1678. Of the ds.

Catal. it may be seen, that the first two of this name are not rank. by seniority, or by date of ordin. (both being, min. John of Truro, the first there, ord. Nov. 1711, and Joseph, also the first of Norton, ord. 26 Oct. 1714), or by alphabet. priority, wh. may, no doubt, be explain. by regard to the rules that of old regulat. the assignment of places. Avis, John, Boston 1679, banish. from the Col. that yr. with sev. others, on suspicion of hav. set the terrible fire of that yr. He had serv. [[84]] perhaps on Conn. riv. in Philip's war.

SAMUEL, perhaps of Lynn, perhaps of Ipswich, a youth, serv. to John Baker; as in docum. in the Rec.

SAMUEL, Haverhill, s. of Robert, [[85]] freem. 1683, m. 14 Dec. 1681, Mary Johnson, d. perhaps of Thomas of Andover, had Peter, b. 21 Dec. 1682, d. soon; Mehitable, 5 Feb. 1684; James, 27 Oct. 1686; Obadiah, 9 May 1689.

SAMUEL, Newbury, by w. Abigail had Stephen, b. 23 Mar. 1689; by w. Sarah had Jabez, 27 Dec. 1690; but Coffin seems to intend two h's as well as two ws. in wh. he may be correct, tho. it appears strange, that no other ch. is nam. no date of m. of either ment. nor d. of either h. or w. THOMAS, Haverhill 1646, prob. s. of John the first, m. 1 Apr. 1656, Elizabeth d. prob. of John Hutchins, may have rem. to Newhury, there had John, b. 12 May 1657; Elizabeth 23 Dec. 1659; Mary, 22 Mar. 1661; Love, 15 Apr. 1663; tw. s. 16 Jan. 1665, both d. soon; Thomas, 9 June 1666; and Hannah, 11 July 1671; and was freem. 1666 and d. 15 July 1671.

Thomas Hawkins, had Mary, b. 8 Oct. 1655, and he sold, the same yr. to William Hudson that est. wh. had been prop, of his f.-in-law, call. "by the name or sign of Noah's ark." His w. prob. d. early, and he, I think, must have gone home. AYRAULT, or AYROULD, NICHOLAS, Wethersfield, a physician, driv. by the revocat. of the edict of Nantz to fly his native ld. wh. prob. was Rochelle, a. 1686, or earlier, m. at Providence Marian Breton, had Peter, Nicholas, and other ch. and d. 1706. Of Nicholas jr. and Peter, see acco. in Hinman. SAMUEL, R. I. a physician, by Hinman, Ed. 2, p. 90, presum. to be br. or f. of the preced. but nothing definite as to fam. of these Huguenots is easily accessib. No doubt he came betw. 1685 and 9; but it would not surprise me to have it ascertain. that Hinman's Samuel wa, the same as STEPHEN, Newport 1685, one of the blessed army of French protestant exiles. His s. Daniel m. 9 May 1703, Mary Robineau of New York. AYRES, EDWARD, Kittery 1685. MARK, and NATHANIEL, N. H. 1689 req. protect. of Mass. AZELL, HUMPHEY, Kittery 1682,was one of the found. of Bapt. ch. there. BAALAM, CHARLES, is the name of a passeng. last on the list, coming to Boston from London 1656, aged 18, in the Speedwell, the same voyage on wh. came the earliest Quakers; and tho. it is not charg. against him, that he was of that sect, yet is it almost certain that he soon left this ld. BABB, JONATHAN, Springfield, took o. of alleg. with Samuel, perhaps his br. 31 Dec. 1678, or the next day, but no more is kn. of either. PHILIP, Kittery 1652, and next yr. was assoc. under commis. from Mass. with Maj. Bryan Pendleton, Nicholas Shapleigh, and others, in the governm. of Isle of Shoals, and a few yrs. later liv. there, in 1666 was empow. to take depons. The name is perpet. in N. H.

(whose name is not heard) James, b. a. 1641; John, 1644; Job; and Mary. By tradit. it is said, that he came from Co. Essex, and on giv. evid. with his two elder s. 1670, call. them 29 and 26 yrs. respectiv. he sw. that he was 58, and spells with d. at the end of his first syllab. From the idle and discord. tradit. that he brot. from Eng. childr. b. from 1612 to 1620 (when the f. would have been betw. 1 and 8 yrs. old), this testim. relieves the geneal. A sec. w. Elizabeth and three ch. by her, one nam. Joseph, the oldest only 9 yrs. old, are provid. for in his nuncup. will, 12 June 1679, the day he d. of wh. s. John and Job were witness. as also to Job were giv. his smith's tools, beside gifts to Mary Champlin, his d. thot. to be w. of William, and to s. Joseph, when he comes to 21 yrs. JAMES, Westerly, eldest s. of the preced. d. 1698, leav. wid. Mary, and eldest s. James, as the rec. of W. it is said, proves; but names of other ch. are not giv. They were Sarah, Jane, Mary, Hannah, Elizabeth William, and Job. Part of the acco. of this James may be easily confus. with that of his br. John. JOB, Westerly, a miller, prob. br. of the preced. d. a. 1718, and in his will calls eldest s. Job, other ch. John, Benjamin, Jane Braman, Sarah Hall, Mary Tanner, Elizabeth Brand, Hannah, and Mary. JOHN, Stonington 1670, s. of the first James, Wh. had prob. own. ld. on both sides of the riv. within disput. bounds of Conn. and R. I. He had. w. Mary, ch. James, Ann, Mary, John, Job, George, Elihu, Robert, Joseph, and Oliver. Fam. tradit. makes his w. to be a Lawton, perhaps sis. of George the first; and it may be nearer the truth, when it tells of his runaway match with the d. of his master, their kind recept. by the Ind. in the wilderness, discov. of his d. and her h. some four yrs. after by the bride's f. and forgiveness, liberality & c. than as it relates his d. 19 July 1719, "aged over one hundred yrs." For ano. John, perhaps his 8. that protraction of days, tho. unlikely, might be correct, yet the f. d. from twenty to forty yrs. too early, and his wid. m. bef. 1700 Erasmus Babbit. Indeed his d. is marked 1685, and his wid. nam. Mary, and eldest 8. James, but these three items concur. with those of his br. James, lead us to apprehend that the geneal. may be confus. between them. JOSEPH, Westerly, s. prob. youngest, of the first James, m. 13 Apr. 1696, Dorothy Key, had Elizabeth b. 29 Jan. 1698; had his w. d. 14 Dec. 1727. by sec. w. Hannah Coats, he had Authority, 2 Feb. 1730; Abigail, 30 Apr. 1731; Joseph, 14 Oct. 1733; and John, 26 Jan. 1736.RETURN, Dartmouth bef. 1686, and liv. to be nam. Nov. 1694 in deed of confirmat. of the town. Strange is the combinat. of errors, in Hinman, 111, [[87]] a. one James B. wh. went to Leyden in Holland 1620, join. the friends of Robinson, and came in the Ann, 1623, to Plymouth, the narrat. enlarg. a. the resid. of the fam. there. Now we kn. that no passeng. of this name came in that ship; and I have very strong reason, after much inquiry, to doubt that any such man liv. in the Col. for its earliest forty yrs. Of this name, in 1834, both forms of spell. inclus. seven had been gr. at Yale, and five at Harv. as Farmer found. BABER, WILLIAM, Boston 1648, had John. BABSON, EBENEZER, Gloucester, youngest s. of James, wonderf. bewilder. by diabol. agency, as told by Rev. John Emerson, his spiritu. guide, to C. Mather, and in its appropr. place, Magn. VII. 82-84, may be read. Niles, in his tale, 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 231, seems more cautious, or less inclin. to honor Satan. JAMES, Gloucester, came, no doubt in comp. with his mo. Isabel (a wid. wh. had lds. there, 1644, and after until her d. G or 8 Apr. 1661, aged 81, or more, as also gr. in 1637 at Salem), m. 16 Nov. 1617, Elinor Hill s. of Zebulon, had James, b. 2 Sept. 1648; Elinor, 15 June 1601; Philip, 15 Oct. 1654; Sarah, 15 Feb. 1657, d. at 20 yrs; Thomas, 21 May 1658; John, 27 Nov. 1660; Richard, 1 June 1663; Elizabeth 8 Oct. 1665; and Ebenezer, 8 Feb. 1668, the bef. ment. playmate with the devil; beside Abigail, 1670. He was freem. 1666, and d. 1683. His s. Thomas serv. long in Philip's war but soon d. prob. unm. JOHN, Gloucester, s. of the preced. m. 1686, Dorcas Elwell, d. of Josiah, and Elizabeth b. 1687; James, 1689; John, 1691; and Josiah, 1703. He and w. d. 1737. PHILIP, Salem, br. of the preced. m. 1689, Hannah Baker, had Ann, and his w. d. 1692. BACHILER, BACHELOR, BACHELLER, BACHELDER, BATCHELOR, or BATCHELDER, ALEXANDER, Portsmouth 1652, of wh. I kn. no more, but that he was the ferryman. DAVID, Reading, s. of John the first, of the same, is no otherwise kn. to me. HENRY, Ipswich, a brewer, from Dover, Co. Kent, came in 1636, with w. Martha, and four serv. as set forth in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 276, bec. the founder of a num. line, as was thot. in former days from so many spring. at Ipswich; prob. ch. of two brs. of Henry; but any kn. of his childr. is not gain. and we kn. only that he d. 2 Feb. 1679, and his wid. d. 4 Apr. 1686. Yet inv. of his est. was not ret. bef. many yrs. Its date is 15 May 1696. Of his br. John are nam. three ch. John, Josiah, and Hannah; and of his br. Joshua are nam. three, John, Elizabeth and Hannah Warner, w. I presume of John Varner, unless her d. Hannah be meant, if these names are found in order of distrib. of the est. as is most prob. HENRY, Reading. prob. s. of Rev. Stephen, may be he, wh. was persecut. 1660, as a Quaker. JOHN, Dedham, had been of Watertown, freem. 6 May 1635, not, as Bond states, 13 May 1640, that being the day of ano. hav. the same name, was selectman of W. 1636, and at D. had Samuel, b. 8 (Bond says 11) Jan. 1640; Jonathan, and David, b. 14, bapt. 24 Dec. 1643, describ. in the homely phrase of ch. rec. "being the childr. of one burthen to our br. J. B. and his w. our sis." when it would have been agreeable to see her name. He rem. Mr. [[88]] Haven, 13, says, to Hampton. JOHN, Salem 1638, perhaps earlier, had gr. of ld. 1639, was the freem. of 13 May 1640, is by tradit. said to be from Dorsetsh. but more prob. was that tailor from Canterbury, Co. Kent, wh. came in 1636, perhaps br. of Henry, bef. ment. by w. Mary had at S. John, bapt. Jan. 1639, d. at 7 yrs.; Mary, Sept. 1640; Abigail, 12 Feb. 1643; Hannah, 23 June 1644, d. soon; Hannah, again, 25 May 1645; John, again, 23 June 1650; and Joseph, 8 May 1653; and d. 13 Nov. 1675, his w. Elizabeth hav. a. three days bef. unless some confus. of name exist in the report. In his will of 1673, w. Elizabeth s. John, and Joseph, d. Hannah Corning, and gr. ch. John Cressy are ment. JOHN, Reading, freem. 1666, had Jonathan, wh. d. 4 Dec. 1653; David; and John, but the order of b. is not seen, beside Samuel, wh. d. 20 Mar. 1662, the mo. Rebecca hav. d. sixteen days bef. and he d. May 1676. Of ano. JOHN, freem. 1670, it is not kn. where he liv. but it may well seem, that he was s. of the preced. bec. he d. at Reading, 1705. JOHN, Salem, prob. s. of the first John, m. 14 Aug. 1673, Mary Herrick, perhaps d. of Zechary, had John b. 26 Apr. 1675; and Jonathan, 29 Mar. 1678; beside Josiah, 6 Mar. 1680; and he d. 6 Aug. 1684, and the wid. d. within two wks. aft. Ano. JOHN, at Salem 1692, was one of the jurors in the sad witchcraft trials, and recant. magnanimous. from their damnable verdicts. John p.,late Presid. of the Berksh. Med. Inst. and other descend. of this stock give,uniform. spell. of their name Batchelder. JOSEPH, Salem, a tailor, perhaps, elder br. of John the first, came, 1636, from Canterbury, Co. Kent, with w. Elizabeth one ch. and three serv. acc. the certif. of the Mayor of Sandwich, where they, emb. was freem. Mar. 1638; rem. to Wenham, of wh. he was rep. 1644.

JOSEPH, Salem, youngest s. of the first John of the same, m. 8 Oct. 1677, Miriam Moulton, had Joseph, b. 18 July foll. JOSHUA, Ipswich, br. of Henry, of the same, came from Kent, but no more can be heard of him, exc. that he had at least three ch. John, Elizabeth and Hannah Warner, w. of Daniel of the same, entit. to sh. in the est. of his br. Henry. MARK, Wenham, freem. 1663, may have been s. of the preced. or not, was a soldier in the comp. of Gardner, and in the great battle of 19 Dec. 1675 was k. with his capt. NATHANIEL, Hampton, eldest s. of the Rev. Stephen, b. a. 1611, m. 1656 Deborah, d. of John Smith, and had, it is said, seventeen childr. (only nine by her), many of whose names it might be not easy to find, but one was Nathaniel. At Woburn he took sec. w. 31 Oct. 1676, Mary Wyman, wid. of John, and d. of Rev. Thomas Carter, had eight ch. and from Coffin's gatherings in Geneal. Reg. VI. 207 we learn that he had third w. Elizabeth She was wid. of John Knill of Charlestown, m. 23 Oct. 1689. STEPHEN, Lynn, the first min. there, b. a. 1561, came to Boston in the William and Francis, 5 June 1632, from London, preach. at L. next yr. was freem. 6 May 1635, and next yr. was at Ipswich, perhaps at Yarmouth 1637, but in 1638 went to Newbury, in 1639 to Hampton, whence in 1641 he was dism. and some time after may be heard of at Saco.

Of this first John descend. still enjoy part of their ancestral prop. and from this stock is the Rev. Leonard of New Haven, the perspicacious stud. of early N. E. manners. JOHN, Charlestown, perhaps s. of Daniel the first, for all the knowl. of wh. we are indebt. to Hammond's Diary, relat. that his ch. (as if he had but one) d. 18 Mar. his w. on 20th, and hims. on 7 Apr. 1678, all of smallpox. By Mr. Wyman I am inform. that he m. 2 Sept. 1668, Susanna, d. of James Draper, had John, b. 27 Aug. 1670; Susanna, 3 Jan. 1672; and Ephraim, 17 Nov. 1675.

Nathaniel, whose date may be lost. His w. d. 6 July 1680, and he m. 17 Apr. 1682, Elizabeth Pierpont, prob. wid. of one whose name is not seen, had Beriah, 17 Aug. of the same yr. unless we suppose an error in the rec. of m. or of b.

John Fletcher of Milford [[92]] (wh. d. the foll. yr.) relative to the ancestry of this Nathaniel, at wh. was present a party advers. interest. might, without violence, be constr. to refer equally to the Barnstable fam. tho. it is less prob. NATHANIEL, Barnstable, s. of the first Nathaniel, m. 27 Mar. 1673, Sarah, d. of Gov. Hinckley, had Nathaniel, b. 9 Sept. 1674 ; Mary, 9 Oct. 1677; Elizabeth 11 Apr. 1680; and Samuel, 20 Jan. 1682. His w. d. 16 Feb. 1687; and he d. Dec. 1691. RICHARD, may be that passeng. in 1635 on board the James from Bristol, call. Becon by Richard Mather, when he relates the loss of his right hand in the gr. Aug. storm, for wh. see Young's Chron. of Mass. 475. Certain. no more is kn. of him. SAMUEL, Barnstable, m. 9 May 1659, Martha Foxwell, had Samuel, b. 9 Mar. 1660; and Martha, 6 Jan. 1662. SAMUEL, Barnstable, s. of Nathaniel the first, m. 17 Dec. 1675, Mary, d. of John Jacob of Hingham, whither he rem. had Hannah, b. 12 Oct. 1676, d. at 2 mos.; Hannah, again, 10 Feb. 1678; and Mary, 7 Feb. 1680; and he d. 18 Feb. 1631.

Nov. 1653, leav. wid. Rebecca, d. it is said, of Thomas Potter of Coventry, wh. had been mayor of that borough. His will ment. w. and s. also Ann Potter. They had liv. in Dublin, and, on the outbreak of the Irish rebellion, she was sent over here, says tradit. and her h. foll. soon; but her br. Humphrey P. and other relat. perish. in the massacre. Her will of 23 Mar. 1655, pro. 29 Nov. foll. names cous. i. e. niece, Ann Potter, and John Bacon, beside sis. Judith in O. E. Some community of origin may be, perhaps, traced to this tradit. and to that of Michael; yet the flight from the rebellion would seem more natural in that early day to be direct. to Eng. Felt says, William was freem. after 1643; but the evidence is not seen. In 1834 Farmer found the gr. of this name to be seven at Yale, four at Harv. and four at other N. E. coll. the earliest of wh. Jacob, H. C. 1731, min. of Plymouth, was gr.gr.s. of the first Michael.

ENOCH, Dorchester, br. of Robert, d. 1711, leav. William, Susan, Mary, Elizabeth and Sarah. GEORGE, New Haven 1640, serv. of Gov. Eaton, under indent. for six yrs. may have rem. to Dorchester, liv. in that pt. now Milton, perhaps br. of Robert of the same, had George, b. 26 Feb. 1658; possib. other ch. GEORGE, Milton, s. perhaps of the preced. or of Robert, had, as Morse supposes, Dorothy, wh. m. Ebenezer Wood, and, it may be, more; yet this seems very loose, without dates. His will, of 26 Sept. 1671, ment. w. Mary, s. Benjamin, Return, Enoch, and sev. ds. JAMES, Portsmouth, R. I. among freem. in 1655, rem. to the other side of Narraganset Bay. See Babcock, and observe, that the strange delusion of Hinman a. the glorious comp. of Leyden pilgr. by the Ann, 1623, is adopt. by Morse, as if such a brat were better rear. than stifled. ROBERT, Dorchester 1648, next of Milton, had Nathaniel, b. 14 Mar. 1658; Caleb, 1660; Ebenezer, bapt. at D. 5 [[93]] July 1663; Hopestill, 8 Nov. 1663; Hannah, 28 May 1665; Elizabeth 24 Oct. 1666; beside other ch. of wh. one I think, was George.

He d. 31 Mar. 1691, and his w. at near the same date, both of smallpox. NATHANIEL, Newbury 1635, br. of Giles, perhaps elder, had w. Hannah, but I can hear no more of him, nor of ano. br. RICHARD. THOMAS, New Haven 1639, of wh. no good is told. In 1834 four gr. of this name had come from Yale, two from Harv. and two from other N. E. coll. BADLAM, WILLIAM, Boston, by w. Joan had John, b. 8 Feb. 1687; may be the same man that had, at Weymouth, by w. Mary, William, 20 Dec. 1693; and Mary, 14 July 1699. BADMAN, JOHN, Boston, by w. Sarah had Lydia, b. 26 Apr. 1656.

BAGLEY, JOHN, wh. had, I suppose, been one of Lyon Gardiner's men at Saybrook in 1637, should be found at Watertown 1643, but Bond in his all embracing vol. has not appoint. him a place there. One John, perhaps a s. was a soldier, and James was ano. of GallopÕs comp. to Quebec, 1690. ORLANDO, Salisbury, m. 6 Mar. 1654, Sarah, d. of Anthony Colby, had Orlando, b. at Boston, 18 Feb. 1659; and perhaps other ch.

S. ch. in Boston, but was sett. as success. to famous John Sherman, at W. 6 Oct. 1686. His w.

Henry, of Manchester in Eng. he wrote in 1688, of his love to mo. and sis. Lydia in his native ld. of his own infirm health here, and in a querulous temper. The Magnalia, III. 232 finds, in his early serv. in Ireland the wounds to his constitut. "wh. could never be recover." All that need be kn. of him is well told by Francis, in Hist. of W. 52, 8, and 141.

JOHN, Ipswich, 1634, freem. 14 May of that yr. perhaps, is in later yrs. ment. in the town rec. with prefix of respect; yet so frequent is the concur. of this name of bapt. with the surname, as to justify doubt, whether that day's freem. were not JOHN, ment. by Frothingham, 80, as com. to Charlestown 1630, and rem. 1637, or that JOHN, of wh. Winthrop II. 29, tells, how he rem. from Boston to Newbury, grew rich too fast, went thence to York, and back with contrition to B. Assignm. of resid. becomes especial. diffic. in such cases, as in the freem. of 2 June 1641, where twice John Baker is count. and after minute comparis. of the incid. belong. to the names above and below each John, a confid. conject. may be offer. that one was of Ipswich, perhaps he wh. was b. at Norwich, Co.

JOHN, Boston, that early mem. of the ch. wh. by, w. Charity had Charity, bapt. 12 Apr. 1635, may be the freem. of 18 May 1642. JOHN of Wells, wh. may be the man, that had ho. in 1675 on w. side of Kennebeck liv. near Arowsick isl. when the war broke out, was, we kn. sw. freem. 1653; but tolerab. sure am I, that JOHN of Woburn was not, since he was sentenc. to be whip. and to m. Susanna Martin (the inflict. of the latter pt. of the punish. being on 28 May 1654); by her he had John, b. 25 Mar. preced. Mary, 22 Feb. 1656; Joseph, 15 June 1657, d. soon; Joseph, again, 1 Feb. 1660; Susanna, 15 Mar. 1652, d. soon; Susanna, again, 12 Apr. 1663; a s. whose name is not seen on the rec. 8 Mar. 1664, d. next week; Samuel, 21 Apr. 1665; Benjamin, 24 May 1667; James, 10 June 1670; Jonathan, 2 Apr. 1674; and William, 18 Aug. 1679. JOHN, Boston, blacksmith, ar. co. 1644, had m. John, eldest d. of Thomas Swift, of Dorchester, sev. yrs. (prob. ten) bef. 5 Nov. 1657, wh. date from the MS. vol. in the Boston office of reg. usual.

By her he had John, wh. d. young, 20 June 1654; Thomas, b. 12 Feb. 1654; Samuel, 16 Apr. 1650, d. in 3 mos.; Nathaniel, 4 Apr. 1656, d. soon; of wh. four ch. the false certif. on rec. would make all b. bef. the m. Also he had John, again, 17 July 1658, d. in few mos. and Elizabeth 26 June 1660; and d. I think in July 1666, leav. good est. but in his will of 26 Mar. preced. names only the s. Thomas, and d.

He d. 26 Aug. 1690, and his wid. d. 25 Nov. 1711. JOHN, Roxbury, had only Thomas, h. there 20 May 1676. JOHN, Ipswich, s. of John of the same, brot. from Eng. m. 13 May 1667, Catharine, d. of Rev. William Perkins, had Elizabeth b. 1670; John; and perhaps others. JOHN, Yarmouth, s. of Francis, by w. Alice had John, b. May 1672; Bethia, Nov. 1673; Sarah, Sept. 1677; Jonathan; Isaac; Mary; and Elizabeth JOHN, Hull, freem. 1677. JOHN, Hartford, was there as early as 1665, m. Lydia, d. of John Baysey, had John, Baysey, and Joseph, all s. and perhaps other ch. His w. d. 16 May 1700. JOHN, Dorchester, freem. 1677. JOHN, New London 1678, perhaps s. of William. JOHN, Dedham, s. of Edward, was liv. there 1678, may have been f. of that Daniel, b. 18 Apr. 1686, H. C. 1706, wh. was min. of Sherborn, ord. 1713. JOHN, Woburn, perhaps s. of John of the same, m. 18 Oct. 1682, Hannah, d. of George Polley, had Hannah, b. 5 Dec. 1683, d. soon; Hannah, again, 3 Aug. 1685; and John, 27 June 1687, perhaps more. JOSEPH, Northampton, s. of Edward, m. 5 Feb. 1663, Ruth, d. of William Holton, was k. by the Ind. 29 Oct. 1675, with his s. Joseph, b. 20 Jan. 1665; leav. Ruth, b. 6 May 1668; Mary, 5 Sept. 1670; and Samuel, 11 Sept. 1672. Joseph was the name liv. to his posthum. s. b. 25, bapt. 30 Jan. foll. His wid. m. 1678, Thomas Lyman.

Nathaniel Cook, had Joseph, b. 13 Apr. 1678; Lydia, 5 July 1681; and Samuel, 17 Oct. 1684, wh. d. 16 Oct. 1685. The f. d. 11 Dec. 1691; and his wid. m. John Loomis. Yet the recent hist. of W. p. 526, gives two more ch. Hannah, 19 Dec. 1686, wh. d. next yr.; and Ebenezer, 17 July 1689, wh. may be correct. But great is my doubt of the accura. of his add. of sec. w. 8 July 1702, Hannah Pomeroy of Northampton, and ten more ch. the latest, 14 May 1722. Hinman, in his Catal. of 1852, p. 110, says, his will was made 1691, and he d. that yr. refer. to Windsor rec. Prob. Stiles confils. two persons. JOSEPH, Woburn, prob. s. of John the first, of the same, m. 4 Oct. 1686, Hannah Bauk, if rightly this name be writ JOSHUA, New London, s. of Alexander, m. 13 Sept. 1674, Hannah, wid.

William Lane of Dorchester), had Mary, bapt. July 1639. wh. m. 16 Dec. 1657, John Loring, perhaps his only ch. and d. 3 June 1682. In his will of 11 May preced. after provis. for his wid. and two Ind. slaves, he gave most of his prop. to gr.childr. yet with 3 reasona. mem. to six ch. of his late br. Nicholas, of Scituate. See Lincoln, Cent. Addr. 39. Farmer mistook him for s. of Nicholas. NATHANIEL, Yarmouth, eldest s. of Francis, had three s. Samuel, b. 29 Oct. Nathaniel, 27 Jan. 1672; and prob. the other was nam. Silas, says Mr. Otis. Both he and his w. d. Dec. 1691, as Mr. O. assures me. NICHOLAS, Hingham 1635, br. of the first Nathaniel, freem. 3 Mar. 1636, rep. 1636 and 8, rem. to Scituate, there was ord. 1660, third min. of the first ch. and was of such good temper as to reconcile the two chs. wh. had quarrel. for thirty yrs. He had Samuel, bapt. 7 Oct. 1638; John, 6 Nov. 1642; Elizabeth Nov. 1644; and Deborah, 6 June 1652. Mather, with his habitual carelessness, cays, in the Magn. III. 219, "he had but a private educat." taking occasion to utter one of his brilliant clauses; yet I found at St. John's Coll. Cambr. that he had his A. B. 1631-2, and A. M. 1635. A short time he stopped at Roxbury. His w. that prob. was mo. of all his ch. d. 4 Apr. 1661, and he next yr. took ano. of wh. the bapt. name Grace only is kn. and d. 22 Aug. 1678, aged 67. Her he made Extrix. of his will, in wh. he names six ch. Samuel, Nicholas, Elizabeth Sarah, Deborah, and Mary. The wid. Grace d. 22 Jan. 1697. All the ds. were m. Mary, 26 Feb. 1662, to Stephen Vinal; Elizabeth m. 1664 to John Vinal; Sarah m. 1671, Josiah Litchfield; and Deborah m. 1678, Israel Chittenden. Deane, 181-3. NICHOLAS, Marblehead, wh. Willis, I. 135, says m. Elizabeth d. of George Bartlett of Scarborough, may have been s. of the preced. but we want the illumin. of a date. Of one Nicholas, late of Boston, mariner, wh. may have been a gr.s. of Rev. Nicholas, admin. was gr. 8 Oct. 1695, to his mo. in law, Jane Colyer of Hull. RICHARD, Dorchester, 1639, freem. 18 May 1642, ar. co. 1658, by w. Faith, d. of Henry Withington, wh. d. 3 Feb. 1689, had Mary, b. 27 Apr. 1643, beside five other ds. perhaps, and certain. two s. only one having, date, and one even without a giv. name, as by his will of 7 Oct. 1689 is shown, viz. John; James; Thankful, w. of William Griggs; Elizabeth w. of a Pratt; Hannah, b. 9 Jan. 1663, wh. had m. 5 May 1685, John Wiswall; Sarah, then dec. wh. had been w. of James White, m. 22 Feb. 1665, tho. the Hist. of D. makes her b. three yrs. later than this m. p. 106;--also, for one r. Mary; and one, the w. of Samuel Robinson. He had been selectman 1653, constable, 1663, and d. 25 Oct. 1689, as Geneal. Reg. V. 395 [[99]] teaches. ROBERT, Salem, wh. had gr. of ld. 1637, was k. by casualty 1640. See Winthrop II. 24. ROBERT, Roxbury, by w. Mary had Robert, b. 29 Oct. 1673, wh. d. at 11 yrs.; Mary, 11 Oct. 1675; Sarah, 24 Dec. 1676; Matthew, 5 Sept. 1678, wh. d. at 17 yrs.; Joseph, 4 Nov. 1680; Benjamin, 15 Aug. 1682; and Ann, 8 June 1685; and he d. 25 Oct. 1720. Ment. on the rec. of d. is seen of two ch. viz. Elizabeth 11 Sept. and Jonathan, 24 Sept. 1694, of neither of wh. can the b. be found. SAMUEL, Lynn, came in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, aged 30, from London; but he was of Co. Kent, says tradit. and d. 16 Dec. 1666. SAMUEL, Marshfield, not s. of Nicholas, as was once thot. m. 29 Dec. 1656, Elinor, d. of Kenelm Winslow, had Kenelm, b. 23 Mar. 1658, Lydia, 18 Feb. 1660; Elizabeth 18 Mar. 1662; Alice, 19 May 1663; and Elinor; 1665; beside others in 1667, 9, and 71, of whose names, in the mutilat. state of the rec. no certainty can be attain. His w. d. or was bur. 27 Aug. 1676, and he m. 21 Feb. foll. Patience, wid. perhaps of the first Moses Simmons of Duxbury, had Samuel. SAMUEL, Windsor 1669, then among freem. m. 30 June 1670, Sarah, eldest d. of Nathaniel Cooke of the same. SAMUEL, Hull, s. of Rev. Nicholas, freem. 1677, m. Fear, d. of Isaac Robinson, rem. to Barnstable, there had adm. with his w. 1687, to that ch. on dism. from H. THOMAS, Milford 1639, Easthampton, L. I. 1650, was, perhaps, that Assist. of Conn. from 1658 to 63. THOMAS, Roxbury, s. of John the first of Ipswich, freem. 1619, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 2 Oct. 1641; John; Joseph, 24, bapt. 27 Feb. 1648; Sarah, 24, bapt. 28 Apr. 1650; Mary, bapt. 6 June 1652, d. in 5 weeks; Mary, again, 11 Sept. 1653; and for sec. w. took 27 Mar. or May 1663, Mary, d. of Robert Gamlin, had Thomas, b. 7 Jan. 1664; and Mary, 27 July 1667; and he d. 28 Jan. 1684, "old, b]ind, godly," in the express. rec. of ch. His s. Thomas was k. by the Ind. at Sudbury fight Apr. 1676, surely a very young soldier, under Wadsworth, but he had serv. in the Narraganset campaign as one of Johnson's comp. in Dec. bef. i. e. less than twelve yrs. old. No incid. of those days more striking. gives proof of the extens. reach of the perils. Sarah m. 19 Apr. 1671, Sebas Jackson; and Mary m. Roger Adams. THOMAS, Boston, by w. Leah had Rachel, b. 7 Feb. 1659. THOMAS, Lynn, s. of the first Edward of the same, m. 10 July 1689, Mary Lewis, perhaps d. of John. In June 1730, he testif. that he was 77 yrs. old, and that Andrew Townsend of L. wh. he had well kn. 55 yrs. was wound. in the gr. Narraganset fight, 19 Dec. 1675, under Capt. Gardner. THOMAS, Topsfield, s. of the first John of Ipswich, brot. by his f. 1637, freem. 1665, m. 26 Mar. 1673, Priscilla, d. of Dept. Gov. Samuel Symonds, had Priscilla, b. 8 Dec. 1674; Martha, 14 Oct. 1682; Rebecca, 16 Nov. 1685; Thomas, 17 Feb. 1688; John, 6 Jan. 1691; and Elizabeth bapt. 17 Sept. 1693. He d. 18 Mar. 1718, aged by fam. tradit. 81 yrs. 6 mos. 5 days; so b. 13 Sept. 1636; and the wid. d. 2 Jan. 1733, aged 85. Priscilla m. Isaac Appleton. was a milit. officer, and rep. 1686, 9, and 90. THOMAS, a min. 1678 at Newport, I hear nothing, more of. THOMAS, New London 1686, may have been s. of William, and certain. left ch. but names and dates of them are unkn. One THOMAS, of Boston, was [[100]] head of a fam. 1691; and ano. THOMAS at Lynn was freem. 1691. THOMAS, Yarmouth, youngest s. of Francis, by w. Bathsheba had Mary, b. 7 Apr. 1701; and Thomas, 4 Mar. 1703. TIMOTHY, Northampton, s. of Edward, freem. 1676, m. 16 Jan. 1672, Grace. d. of John Marsh of Hadley, had Grace, b. 1673, a. soon; Timothy, 1675; and his w. d. 31 May 1676. For sec. w. he took Sarah, wid. of Rev. Hope Atherton, d. of John Hollister, and had John, b. 3 Feb. 1680; Thomas, 14 May 1682; Edward, 12 Nov. 1685 ; Prudence, 14 May 1687; and Deliverance, 13 Nov. 1689. His w. d. 8 Dec. 1691; and he d. 30 Aug. 1729. His third s. was the youth, wh. m. Christina, d. of Richard Otis, that was taken by the Ind. at 3 mos. old, from Dover; with her mo. when they k. her f. 1689, and car. to Canada, there after a priestly educat. made a Catholic by bapt. and m. a Frenchman, wh. had by her two ch. bef. his d. Baker had been made a pris. by the Ind. prob. tak. to Canada in 1704, and in differ. capacity in 1719, accomp. Col. Stoddard to bring home the prisoners from Quebec. Many descend. in N. E. and remote parts spring from this m. among others Hon. John Wentworth, late M. C. from Chicago, and present mayor of that prosper. city. WALTER, Scituate, was suspect. in 1651, of murder of John Winter; but no support was found for that surmise. WILLIAM, Charlestown 1633, freem. 3 Sept. 1634, hav. join. the ch. in Aug. 1633, was one of the petitnrs. in favor of Wheelwright, but seasona. chang. his mind, and contin. in good stand.; by w. Joan had Sarah (Mr. Wyman calls her Mary), bapt. 20 May 1638; Stephen, 20 Feb. 1642; and Martha, 21 Apr. 1644; was a selectman 1646, and d. 8 Nov. 1658. His wid. d. 26 Sept. 1669. Frothingham, 82, 5. WILLIAM, Plymouth 1643, may, I think, have been first of R. I. as early as 1638, and prob. went thither again, being count. among the freem. 1655, at Portsmouth. WILLIAM, Boston, pump-maker, m. 23 Sept. 1651, Mary, d. of Edmund Eddington, had Mary, b. 16 May 1602, d. at 3 mos.; John, 14 Dec. 1653; and William, 19 Oct. 1650. His w. d. 12 Dec. foll. and he m. 22 Apr. next, Pilgrim, eldest d. of John Eddy of Watertown. But gr. uncert. or confils. appears after this, for Bond, 203, and 755, makes a doubt, whether she were w. of P. Stedman bef. or after Baker. Yet she was young, when B. m. her, and he rem. prob. to Concord, and there he or ano. William d. leav. wid. Mary and s. William. His inv.is of 17 June 1679. WILLlAM, New London 1652-60, was perhaps f: of Thomas. WILLIAM, Yarmouth, s. of Francis, by w.

His wid. d. 1753. Of this name, 1834, Farmer counts nine gr. at Harv. seven at Yale, four at Dart. and seven at the [[101]] other coll. in N. E. Prob. as the name is so very common, some fams. are omit. BALCH, BENJAMIN, Beverly, eldest 3. of the first John of the same, m. Sarah, d. of the first Thomas Gardner, had Samuel, b. 1651; John, 1654; Joseph, a soldier of "the flower of Essex" under Capt. Lathrop, k. by the Ind. 18 Sept. 1675, at Bloody brook; and Freeborn, 9 Aug. 1660; and he d. a. 1706, many yrs. after his w. as we infer from her not being ment. in his will of 18 Jan. 1689. Being call. 77 yrs. old, it has been hastily assum. that he was the first b. of Mass. as the late Dr. Bentley stoutly assert. the same honor for John Massey, and brot. forward, as his best evid. the cradle, in wh. he was rocked. But Felt seems to prove, that Roger, s. of Roger Conant, was b. at Salem bef. Massey or Balch. It is thot. all of this name in N. E. descend. FREEBORN, Salem, youngest s. of the first John, disappears a. 1658, prob. going for Eng. that yr. and not heard of after. JOHN, Salem, one of the earliest sett. of Mass. from the vicin. of Bridgewater, Co. Somerset. came, it is said with suffic. probabil. in 1623, with Robert Gorges, to make establishm. at Cape Ann, or Nantasket, and on encouragem. from White the min. of Dorchester, a most earnest promoter of the colony, rem. with Roger Conant to plant at Salem, on Beverly side, then call. Bass riv. He req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and took the o.18 May foll. By his w. Margaret, one of the earliest mem. of the ch. of Higginson, was b. Benjamin, a. 1623, John, and Freeborn; but he had sec. w. Agnes, or Annis, nam. with those s. in his will of 15 May, pro. 28 June 1648. JOHN, Beverly, s. of the preced. m. Mary, d. of Roger Conant, had Mary, wh. d. young; and it is not seen, that he had other issue, exc. d. Mary, again. He was drown. 16 June 1662, and his wid. m. William Dodge. Good memoir of this fam. is print. in Geneal. Reo. IX. 233. Farmer notes, that in 1829 five of this name had been gr. at Harv. and one at Dart. BALCOM, or BOLKCOM, ALEXANDER, Providence, call. junr. when he sw. alleg. May 1682, tho. of an earlier Alexander there, perhaps his f. I find nothing. He rem. to that pt. of Rehoboth, since call.

See Adams, Ann. 18. HENRY, Woburn, freem. 1652, was, as is said, from Devonsh. m. 1 Nov. 1649, Phebe, eldest d. of Ezekiel Richardson, of the same, had Susanna, b. 30 Aug. 1650, d. soon; Susanna, again, 25 July 1652; Phebe, 7 Sept. 1654; John, 28 Oct. 1636; Daniel, 15 Mar. 1659; Timothy, 27 May 1661; Mary, 19 July 1663, d. within 6 mos.; Henry, 15 Nov. 1664; Abigail, 20 Aug. 1667; Ruth, 21 July 1670; and Benjamin, 20 Feb. 1673; was deac. and d. 14 Feb. 1698.

In some rec. will be seen Theophilus, b. 26 Apr. 1659, but perhaps it is an error of the yr. he was town clk. 1648, and rep. 1660 to his d. 23 July 1665.

NATHANIEL, Concord, s. perhaps elder, of the first John, in the will of Ralph Mousall call. cousin, i. e. neph. by w.

C. 1735, (that min. of Westfield, wh. d. 12 Feb. 1776); beside Mary, and William; was of ar. co. 1694, was in high esteem, and perhaps the rep. of 1726, tho. in Geneal. Reg.

His will of 6 Dec. 1669, but few days bef. he d. names w. Hannah and only seven ch. so that it may be conclud. that Benjamin and Sarah, not ment. had d. young. Of the inv. of any cooper in the early yrs. I have common. found a good result, and such was his; yet more import. are the questions of his b. and of his coming. Differing in opin. from a disting. descend. (Hinman in Geneal. Reg. VI. 376,) because he calls him "a Scotch gent. from Ayr. as early as 1653," I ought to offer reasons. H. contrary to the common error, that is of assum. too early a yr. for the arr. of an ancest. on our shore, takes a date that would afford currency [[108]] to a suspicion of his being, one of the melancholy exiles from the of the civ. war. Surely he was here pretty early in 1651, prob. a yr. or two bef. as otherwise he would hardly have gain. Hollard's d. so early. A Scot we may easily believe he was, one of the founders, we kn. of the Charit. Soc. of that nation, wh. with the ever active spirit of nationality begun in Boston 1657, then compos. of twenty-seven mem. of whose names his is tenth. No sufferer in the cause of Charles Stuart can be supposed so early to have acquir. social position and property to contribute to "the box." Se Drake's Boston, 455. A cooper was more likely, two hundred yrs. ago, to have been bred at Glasgow than its neighboring, little vill. of Ayr; and one of those tradesmen, whose motto was "let Glasgow flourish," would hardly be call. gent. of A. Often the name appears Bellantine, sometimes Ballentyre. BALLARD, oft. writ. as sound. Ballatt, JARVIS, Boston 1670, merchant, perhaps not perman. resid. JOHN, Lynn, s. of William the sec. of the same, b. prob. in Eng. had William, b. 1 Oct. 1667; Sarah, early in July 1669; Rebecca, 1 Apr. 1671; Jane, 1 Dec. 1674; John; Priscilla, 20 Dec. 1680; rem. to Andover, there m. sec. w. 16 Nov. 1681, Rebecca Hooper, perhaps d. of William of Reading, had William, 8 Nov. 1683, d. soon; and Dorothy, 30 Jan. 1685. He d. 1715, aged 62, but this, tho. the rec. says it, seems to me twenty yrs. short of the truth. JOSEPH, Andover, br. of the preced. m. 28 Feb. 1666, Elizabeth Phelps, d. perhaps of Edward the first, had Joseph, and two ds. of wh. one, Tabitha, d. 30 Mar. 1687; and the other d. 24 Feb. 1691.

Esther, wh. m. 10 Feb. 1652, Ambrose Dew, but as no more can be found of him, I must conclude, that her f. had brought her from Eng. PETER, Newport, s. of James the first of the same, m. a d. perhaps of John Bliss, at least my corresp. says Major Bliss. RICHARD, Andover 1615, was one of the found. of the ch. there, by w.

RICHARD, Andover, s. of the preced. m. 21 Apr. 1682, Hannah Kimball, had Richard, wh. d. 22 Dec. 1698; and nothing more is kn. to me. ROBERT, Duxbury 1648, br. of the first John, had Robert; and from his will of 18 Feb. 1689, we kn. that other ch. were Francis, Isaac, Rebecca, w. of William Snow, and Abigail Rogers, but wh. was h. of this last is not seen.

BARTHOLOMEW, Boston, cooper 1648--57, in wh. last yr. he d. [[117]] 26 Sept. by nuncup. will giv. to his s. Thomas what little he had, refusing any thing to serv. EDWARD, Malden, m. Mary, d. of James Pemberton, bef. 1660, as in her f.'s will is read, and had childr. as the same docum. proves, but no names can be heard. But I think his bapt. name may have been EDMUND, for Mr. Wyman gives me such a one, with w. Mary, who in his will, pro. 1697, names ch. James; Mary; Sarah Grover, perhaps w. of Simon; Elizabeth Whiting; and Deborah Hovey; beside gr.ch. Edmund, and Elizabeth Chadwick. GEORGE, Exeter 1639, Saco 1652, was a preach. at both, and elsewhere, but, in 1653, was forbid. by the Gen. Ct. to preach or prophesy on penalty of £10 for every offence. He had been that very yr. sworn freem. of Mass. 5 July at Wells, but rem. to Sandwhich 1658, m. Jane, wid. of Anthony Bessey, and there essay. to be a lawyer. Greenleaf in Eccl. Sk.52; Bishop's N. E.

His wid. m. 24 Feb. next John Coombs of Boston, and in 1669, m. John Warren. Barlow's prop. had been so much reduc. by C. that after his d. the Court gave most of his resid. to B.'s only ch. Sarah. THOMAS Charlestown, m. 29 Oct. 1681, Elizabeth Mellins, had ds. Elizabeth Hurd and Mary Moore. Sometimes this name appears in early rec. Barley. Joel, kn. as the author of the Columbiad, an heroic poem, and of Hasty Pudding, an agreeable one, was by Hinman, in his first Ed. p. 14, call. a descend. of that Thomas of Fairfield, tho. on later inq. he found him s. of Samuel, b. at Reading, Conn. 24 Mar. 1754, Y.

Hide, blushing glory, hide Pultova's day. In Duyckinck's Cycloped. I. 391, large extr. in more than twelve pages are giv. from the poetry of B. with impartial election from pleasant, indiffer. or dull pieces, and even his detesta. homage to the guillotine; but much gratitude is due for publica. of the last notes of the dying swan, a few days bef. he d. in Advice to a Raven in Russia, being far the most forcible lines ever composed by him. They seem to be a holy cry of vengeance for the degrading serv. to wh. he was call. BARNABY, JAMES, Plymouth, m. 8 June 1647, Lydia, d. of Robert Bartlett, had, perhaps, James, and Stephen. His wid. m. John Nelson of Middleborough. JAMES, Plymouth, s. prob. of the preced. by w. Joanna had James, b. 1698, and Ambrose, 1706.

Agnes Bent, and the gr.mo. the mo. and a younger ch. d. on the voyage, so that he was some yrs. under care of his uncle John Bent, and was put apprent. to said Blanchard, when Barnes was only ten yrs. old, wh. also bec. his guardian. After d. of Blanchard, May 1654, John Grout of Sudbury was made guardian; and for part of this early hist. see Geneal. Reg. IX. 371. He m. 16 Dec. 1667, perhaps as sec. w. wid. Deborah Dix, but all inq. wh. was her first h. is baffled, neither the diligence of Bond, nor the skill of Dr. Harris being adequate to solve it. Yet the list of ch. accepted, from Barry by Bond, seems hardly to consist with the prior list of ch. she had b. Leonard, John, and William. See Bond, 753. However some may be adm. as Sarah, b. 1669; Richard, 1673; and Abigail, 1683, wh. m. 1700, Peter Bent. He d. 22 Jan. 1708. RICHARD, Marlborough, s. prob. of the preced. m.

Mary, eldest d. of John Andrews, had by her that Thomas, beside Ebenezer, and d. 1688. THOMAS, New Haven 1643, rem. to Middletown, and d. 1693. He had serv. in the Pequot war, 1637, and left s. John; Thomas, b. 26 Aug. 1653; Daniel, 29 Aug. 1659, bapt. 1661, on the same day with Abigail, his sis. b. 16 Mar. 1657, but the day on the rec. of ch. is a false one, 27 June, which was a Thursday; and Maybee, b. 25 June 1663, as the careful town rec. tells, bapt. not, as the careless ch. rec. tells, 20 July of that yr. wh. was on Monday; beside three other ds. of wh. Elizabeth perhaps eldest, was b. 28 May 1650. His w. Mary d. 1676, and his d. Mercy m. 20 Oct. or Dec. 1666, Bartholomew Jacobs. THOMAS, Swanzey 1669, was a promin. man in the Bapt. ch. there, had Elizabeth b. 14 Feb. 1675, and prob. others. THOMAS, Marlborough, the freem. 1673, wh. pray. for a gr. of Ind. ld. bec. his ho. and goods had been burn. by the enemy in Philip's war, may be he wh. came from London 1656, aged 20, in the Speedwell. THOMAS, New Haven, s. of [[123]] Thomas of the same, by w. Abigail had Mary, b. 21 Nov. 1679; Sarah, 17 Feb. 1682; Thomas, 24 July 1684, d. young; Thomas, again, 26 July 1687; Sarah, 1689; Rebecca, 12 Mar. 1691; Abigail, 10 June 1693; Elizabeth 10 Nov. 1695; Deborah, 1 Feb. 1698; Hannah, 31 May 1702; Samuel, 11 Apr. 1705; Nathaniel, 11 Jan. 1707; and Abraham, 1711.

Thomas Harvey, as the Amesbury rec. gives the name; and Rebecca, wh. m. Moses Morrill. Deborah m. 19 Dec. 1663, Samuel Davis. He was one of the first sett. of Amesbury a. 1654. It has been thot. that he is the man in the list of passengers by the Globe from London for Virginia, 1635, and the names of William Brown, and Richard Wells in the same list are seen, both, also, found at Salisbury. But those surnames are so frequent on both sides of the ocean, that the argument must not be pressed too far. Some persons might, at that time, think it easy to go from one part of America to another; but most of those for Virginia were not puritans, and all wh. would come to New Eng. especially from London, easily gained direct, instead of circuitous passage. Of this name, includ. those spelt without e, Farmer, in 1834, count. seven gr. at Yale, five at Harv. and five at other N. E. coll. BARNETT, BARTHOLOMEW, MATTHEW, ROBERT, and others, may seem to be only perverse spell. for Barnard, wh. see. But THOMAS, New London, wh. preach. there 1686 and 7, must be print. with this form of the name, out of regard to that Eccl. Hist. of N. E. call. the Magnalia, III. 4, where this man is insert. in the third classis, tho. with studied carelessness, Mather omits his bapt. name. Caulkins could find no more than this useful designat. for this side of the water; while in vain I search , Palmer's Non. Conf. Mem. III. 150 and 1 for ment. of any but Andrew of Trin. Col. Cambr. and Joshua, s. of Humphrey of Shropsh. wh. were respectable among the cler. confessors. JOHN, Salem, with alias, Barbart, m. 14 Oct. 1661, Mary Bishop, had Mary, b. 30 Oct. 1662; Familiar (if a possib. name), 26 Sept. 1664; and Elizabeth 5 July 1666. BARNEY, JACOB, Salem, freem. 14 May 1634, had John, bapt. 15 Dec. 1639, was rep. 1635, 8, 47, 33, and d. 1673, aged 72. JACOB, Salem, s. of the preced. perhaps b. in Eng. m. 18 Aug. 1657, Hannah Johnson, wh. d. 5 June 1659; and next he m. 26 Apr. 1660, Ann Witt, d. of Jonathan of Lynn or Salem, had Hannah, b. 2 Mar. 1661, prob. d. young; Sarah, 12 Sept. 1662; Abijah,31 Oct. 1663; John, 1 Aug. 1665; [[124]] Jacob, 21 May 1667; Ruth, 27 Sept. 1669; Dorcas, 22 Apr. 1671; Joseph. 9 Mar. 1673; Israel, 17 June 1675; Jonathan, 29 Mar. 1677; Samuel, 10 Feb. 1679; and Hannah, again, 6 Feb. 1681, wh. m. John Cromwell. JACOB, Boston 1668, was one of the found. of the first Bapt. soc. in the town; yet no more is told of him, even in the valu. Hist. of Boston by Mr. Drake. BARNUM, or BARNAM, RICHARD, may perhaps be thot. of Boston, as he was in Moseley's comp. k. in the bloody assault, on Sunday, 19 Dec. 1675, upon the Narraganset fort. RICHARD, Danbury, m. bef. 1696, Mary, d. of the sec. John Hurd of Stratford. Perhaps he was s. of Thomas, wh. m. the mo. of Mary THOMAS, Norwalk 1662, was bef. that at Fairfield, and after at Danbury, had Thomas, b. 9 July 1663; John, 24 Feb. 1678; Hannah, 14 Oct. 1680; and Ebenezer, 19 May 1682; but six more ch. he had, two s. four ds. yet at N. are no more rec. nor I can find the names of these six, or either of them, or of either of two ws. one of wh. outliv. him, wh. d. 1695. His wid. Sarah, wh. had been prob. wid. of the sec. John Hurd, d. 24 Jan. 1718. BARNELL, GEORGE, Boston 1638, a cooper, freem. 10 May 1643, d. 2 Sept. foll. In Geneal.

John, James, and Ann, and two gr.ch. when they shall be 21 yrs. old; but the names of these two seem strangely spelt. "The tools of his trade " lead the diligent compiler, in a note, to explain, that he seems "to have been a mission;" but I follow the ch. rec. at his adm. into that body, 5 Sept. 1641, as prob. the correct designat. and Mr. Drake from town rec. shows it. His d. Ann had m. William Semond. JAMES, Boston, s. of the preced. prob. b. in Eng. was liv. in 1677; but the rec. has no acco. of a fam.

His. wid. m. Daniel Turell. But in the will of gr.f. Colbron, ano. s. James, is rememb. JOHN, Watertown, by w.

JOHN, Boston, s. prob. of John of the same, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 4 Apr. 1677. THOMAS, the Mass. freem. of 1645, was of Braintree; but of him I can see no more, and can feel no doubt that what appears Barrill in print, should be Barrett. WILLIAM, Boston, br. of George of the same, d. 20 Aug. 1639. WILLIAM, Scituate, perhaps s. of John of Boston, tho. Deane calls him s. of William. 1680, Lydia, d. of John Turner, wid. of John James, had William, b. 1683; Lydia, 1684; Mary, 1686; and James, 1687.

Nov. 1662, aged 70, had Thomas, wh. was drown. in the riv. 1660; Humphrey; and John, by Shattuck said to have sett. at Marlborough. His wid. Mary, in her will, of 15 June, pro. 20 Oct. 1663, names s.

JOHN, Taunton, 1643. JOHN, Malden 1653, had Benjamin, b. 18 Dec. of that yr. rem. to Wells, there was made constable 1657, ens. 1660, rep. 1681. Perhaps he was br. of James; and his w.

JOHN, Charlestown, s. of James of the same, was prob. never m. but of slender health, made his will, 1678, in wh. he opens with say. he was 23 yrs. old, not likely to live long, and directs, that mo. brs. and sis. should have his prop.

STEPHEN, wh. serv. as commissary for Conn. in Philip's war, 1675. I have been unable to discov. any thing more a. his resid. or fam. STEPHEN, Charlestown, s. of James the first, m. 14 May 1680, Elizabeth (of an undecyph. or hieroglif. name, whereof the initial is M.) and he d. 1689. THOMAS, Braintree, may prob. be he wh. came at 16 yrs. in the Increase, 1635, was made freem. 1645, tho. the print. list has Barrill, and was of the number of petitnrs. for gr. of ld. at Warwick [[126]] that our Gen. Ct. had confiscat. and to part of wh. they gave 10,000 acres forfeit. by the misbeliev. friends of Gorton; m. 14 Sept. 1655, Frances Woolderson, had Martha, b. 17 Sept. 1656; Mary, 17 Apr. 1658; and perhaps others, and d. at Chelmsford 1668, in his will of 1 July 1662, pro. 6 Aug. foll. names w.

By John Pool of Reading, in his will, Barrett is call. s. in law, wh. seems to prove, that P. had m. the mo. of B.'s first w. Of this name the gr. at Harv. in 1832 were 7, at Dart. 3, and at other N. E. coll. 4. BARRON, DANIEL, Woburn 1653, was perhaps s. of Ellis the first. ELLIS, or ELLIZ, Watertown, freem. 2 June 1641, brot. from Eng. prob. three or four ch. for Bond names the issue in this order, ELLIS; Mary, wh. m. 10 Dec. 1650, Daniel Warren; Susanna, wh. m. 14 Dec. 1653, Stephen Randall; Hannah, wh. m. a. 1659, Simon Coolidge; John; Sarah, b. 4 July 1640; Moses, 1 Mar. 1643; and Peter, a soldier in Moseley's comp. k. by the Ind. Sept. 1675. He had two ws. Grace (thot. to be mo. of all those ch.), and Hannah, wid. of Timothy Hawkins, m. 4 Dec. 1653; was constable 1658, selectman 1668, and d. 30 Oct. 1676. His will made four days bef. pro. 19 Dec. foll. provides for w. for the seven ch. remain. after loss of Peter, and for gr.ch. Elizabeth Barron. ELLIS, Watertown, s. of the preced. m. Hannah, d. of Timothy Hawkins, and Bond gives the date wh. I have taken for m. of her mo. with the f. of this h. tho. he may be right, and possib. mo. and d. f. and s. were m. on one day, yet it seems less prob. He had Ellis, b. 22 Apr. 1655; Hannah, 6 Mar. 1658; Elizabeth 14 Apr. 1660, d. soon; Sarah, 4 Nov. 1662; and perhaps Elizabeth again; rem. to Groton, there had Grace, 29 July 1665; Mehitable, 22 June 1668; Timothy, 18 Apr. 1673; Dorothy, 6 Mar. 1675, perhaps d. young; and Abigail, 14 Nov. 1676. At Lancaster he made his will 31 Dec. 1711, pro. 7 Oct. foll. wh. teaches us the names of hs. for six of his ds. Abigail Houghton, Mehitable Parker, Hannah Cady, w. of James, Elizabeth Philbrick, w. of Ephraim, Sarah Taylor, and Grace Stevens. He had prefer. L. to G. after the equal destruction of both. From Groton he was dliv. in Philip's war, and reappears at W. with w. Lydia. ELLIS, [[127]] Lancaster, s. of the preced. m. 27 May 1679, Mary, d. of Rev. John Sherman, and honr venerable rec. may distort a name is shown here, where the clk. must certif. that Elizabeth Barron jr. m. Mary Sherman; and he had sec. w. Lydia, unless Bond have confus. him with his f. as he suspect. JOHN, Groton, s. of Ellis the first, had John, b. 4 Apr. 1665; Moses, 26 Mar. 1669; Ellis, 4 June 1672; and Elizabeth 28 Sept. 1677; but the name of his w. or date of his d. is not seen. MOSES, br. of the preced. may have liv. at Woburn, at least he m. Mary, eldest d. of Isaac Learned of that place, but prob. d. early. PETER, Marblehead, fisherman, made his will 28 Oct. 1675, going on serv. against Ind. and d. 26 Nov. foll. TIMOTHY, Watertown, a weaver, s. of Ellis the sec. m. 10 Mar. 1698, Rachel, d. of Samuel Jennison of the same, had Joseph, bapt. 30 Oct. foll.; Timothy, 1 July 1700; Peter, b. 26 July 1702; Samuel, Oct. 1704, d. next mo.; and Hannah, 6 Aug. 1709; and his wid. Rachel m. John King. Of Oliver, H. C. 1788, it is said by William Winthrop, in his interleav. catal. that he d. 1809, a physician in the Isle of Man. BARROWS, or BARROW, JAMES, Dover, was tax. 1670, says Mr. Quint, but he tells no more. JOHN, Plymouth, had w. Deborah, s. Robert, Benajah, Joshua, and Ebenezer, beside two ds. when he d. 12 Jan. 1692. Perhaps he had s. John to be a soldier of GallopÕs comp 1690. ROBERT, Plymouth, perhaps br. of the preced. m. 28 Nov. 1666, Ruth, d. of George Bonum, had Eliezur, b. 15 Sept. 1669, wh. d. soon; and no more is kn. of the f. ROBERT, Plymouth, s. of John, m. Lydia Dunham, had Robert, b. 1689; Thankful, 1692; Elisha, 1695; Thomas, 1697; and Lydia, 1699. BARRY, JOHN, New London 1659, may have been only transient, as he is seen only as a witness to deed of ld. BARSHAM, JOHN, Portsmouth, or as Bond thinks, of Exeter, eldest s. of William, by w. Mehitable had Annabel, b. 31 May 1670; Mary, 26 Feb. 1672; Dorothy, 2 Feb. 1674; Sarah, 11 Aug. prob. 1675; and William, 25 Apr. 1678. JOSHUA, Watertown, br. of the preced. outliv. his f. but in Bond's opin. was never m. NATHANIEL, Watertown, br. of the preced. m. 13 Mar. 1679, Elizabeth eldest d. of the first William Bond, was town clk. selectman sev. yrs. and a lieut. in the wretched expedit. of Phips against Quebec, 1690, atter a capt. had no ch. and d. 2 Aug. 1716. His wid. d. 23 Dec. 1729. PHILIP, Deerfield, k. by the Ind. at Bloody brook, with Capt. Lathrop, 18 Sept. 1675, left w. and perhaps ch.

He d. 13 July 1684, in his will of 23 Aug. preced. with codic. of 15 Apr. foll. not nam. w. leads us to infer, that she was a. No doubt he was a man of good public spirit, selectman 1653, [[128]] and fill. other office of import.

John Bright, and next, 12 Dec. 1700, Hannah Parker of Reading; Rebecca m. 14 May 1683, Edward Winship of Cambridge; and Elizabeth m. 5 July 1694, Adam Eve of Boston; yet to so odd a name Bond puts a quere for place, while my suspicion attaches more to the person's spell. BARSTOW, BAIRSTO, or BERESTO, GEORGE, Boston, came from London, in the Truelove, 1635, aged 21, was in 1636, favor. with gr. of ld. at Dedham, but prob. went not thither bef. 1642, ar. co. 1644, no w. or ch. at D. is ment. bef. he rem. to Scituate, there beside some childr. wh. d. early, had Margaret, bapt. 24 Feb. 1650; and George, b.

GEORGE, Roxbury, prob. s. of the preced. by w. Mary had Susanna, b. 2 Nov. 1684; and George, Aug. 1687. Perhaps he rem. to Rehoboth, there had Samuel, 1 May 1705; and d. 6 Apr. 1726. JEREMIAH, Scituate, s. of John of Cambridge, by w. Lydia had John, and eremiah; the last was tak. by the Ind. a few weeks after d. of his f.

The rec. marks him, as French, so that, I presume, he was a Hugenot. ELISHA, Lynn, s. of William of the same, had w. Elizabeth but I kn. no more. HENRY, Newport, was freem. 1655.

THOMAS, Windsor 1641, had come in the Christian 1635, aged 37, and prob. first sat down at Dorchester, tho. not ment. there, and bef. 1653 rem. to Fairfield, d. 1668, leav. w. and ch. but their names are not heard. WILLIAM, Plymouth, came in the Fortune 1621, with w. Elizabeth m. at Leyden, as his sec. w. 13 Aug. 1611, being the earliest m. of any of our pilgrims in that foreign ld. had Sarah, William, and Elizabeth count. in the div. of cattle 1627, but neither of the three is reckon. in the div. of ld. 1623, so that we may believe they were b. in the interval, liv. at Duxbury in 1637, and was rep. 1640, and four yrs. more; in 1652, with Gov. Bradford and others join. in purch. of Dartmouth, rem. to Bridgewater, and d. 1667. Other ch. beside a sec. William, were Nathaniel, Ruth, Jane, and Joseph. His d.

Yet it may be, that the Lynn and the Sandwich William were the same.

BASSOM, or BASSUM, THOMAS, Windsor, had Abigail, b. 7 June 1640; Thomas, 20 Feb. 1642; and Hepzibah, 14 July 1644. WILLIAM, Watertown 1636, as Dr. Francis, 131, gives the name; but Bond is silent, and I conject. that it was abbrev. for Bassumthwaite, wh. d. early, and his wid. had share of lds. with other Watertown sett. at Sudbury 1639. See Barry, Hist. of Framingham, 134. Yet one William Bassom there was a propr. at Wethersfield, perhaps br. of Thomas of Windsor. [[137]] BASTARD, JOSEPH, Fairfield, m. 1685, Hannah, wid. of Esbon Wakeman, was of Bristol, Feb. 1689, hav. one ch. and d. 1697, leav. good est.

JOHN, Haddam, perhaps br. of James of the same, was of Stamford 1669, had John, b. 8 June 1678; and Solomon Feb. 1680. My conject. is confirm. by auth. of D. Williams Patterson. JOHN, New London 1677, had bapt. there John, 4 May 1679; Solomon, 1 Aug. 1680; and Sarah, 27 Aug. 1682; but, no more being, ment. of him, I think he may be the same as the preced. easily rem. from town to town. JOSEPH, Hingham, s. of Clement, b. in Eng. m. 28 Jan. 1658, Esther Hilliard, perhaps d. of Anthony of the same, had Joseph, Caleb, Hannah, Joshua, Aug. 1671; Bathsheba, Clement, 21 Sept. 1676; Eleazer, and perhaps others. He was freem. 1672. JOSEPH, Hingham, s. of the preced. m. 3 Jan. 1684, Mary, d. of the first Samuel Lincoln. ROBERT, Wethersfield 1640, rem. to Stamford, there d. 11 June 1675, leav. s. John; d.

His wid. made her will 14 Mar. 1679, call. hers. 76. We kn. not the names of those ch. he brot. from Eng. but one was prob. Thomas, for he carr. on the business of his f. at B. Eight or more were b. in this country, for Coffin ment. thirteen, yet gives dates of only three, John, b. at S. 4 Mar. 1641; Paul, and Barnabas, tw. 18 Feb. 1643. Others (part b. in Eng.) were Christopher, Ann, Samuel, Jane, Sarah, Abigail, Timothy, Ebenezer, and Elizabeth This last d. 6 July 1652, perhaps young; Ann m. 12 June 1657, Edmund Angier; Jane m. 3 Apr. 1661, Dr. Peter Toppan, and may therefore be supposed to have been b. on our side of the water, while the other side must be thot. birthplace of Ann, as she was sec. w. of Angier. Christopher was of Dover in 1662; Paul was a glazier, and Timothy a tailor, both freem. 1673, at Boston, and both prob. certain one of them interest. in the tannery; and of Samuel it is said that he was, as is min. in Eng. and infer. that he never came back to this ld. if he was, as is prob. b. here. NICHOLAS, Newbury, perhaps br. of the preced. came in the James from Southampton, with w.

Battle was an overseer, most of the ch. are ment. Mary m. 20 Mar. 1677, John Bryant; and Sarah m. 23 Oct. 1679, Silas Titus. Very improb. seems to me the recent tradit. that he came to N.

JOHN, Salem, m. 25 Nov. 1667, Abigail Whitney (but, of so common a surname, it is diffic. to find the f. and Essex Inst. Hist. Coll.

Feb. 1640, bapt. 1 Sept. 1644, wh. m. 1658, John Bull. But the rec. says, also, that by the same maid. name she m. 1660, Thomas Buttolph; and this is true, and the other rec. no doubt a. mistake. NICHOLAS, Boston, prob. s. of the preced. was gunner at the castle 1674-6, perhaps later, and d. 10 Jan. 1692. RICHARD, Hingham, came 1638, in the Diligent from old Hingham, employ. by Francis James, says Lincoln in Centen. Addr. 41. THOMAS, Fairfield 1654, had w.

Lydia had John, b. 1642; James, 1650; Thomas, 1653; and Samuel, 1658; beside Damaris, w. of Thomas Leaver; and Lydia, w. of .......Platt, but whether of Abel, or James, or John, or Jonas, or Jonathan, or Samuel, my inquiries do not ascertain.

We kn. also, that he was succeed. by the unfortun. George Burrows. By Sprague, Ann. of the Amer. Pulpit, I. 186, Bailey's d. is mark. for 1707, and Coffin, 351, more precise, 17 Jan. at Roxbury. I venture a conject. that he is the one ord. at Weymouth, 26 Sept. 1703, as told in 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. IX. 195; yet the rec. of d. at Roxbury of James Bailey calls him Esqr. JOHN, Salisbury, a weaver from Chippenham, Co. Wilts, came, in the Angel Gabriel, from Bristol, Apr. 1635, and was cast away at Pemaquid, in the great storm of 15 Aug. He rem. 1650 to Newbury (where prob. [[143]] he had been resid. bef. settlem. of S.), and d. 2 Nov. of next yr.

He rem. to Kennebunk, there was k. by the Ind. Oct. 1723. NICHOLAS, Saco 1663, br. of Jonas, had perhaps been of New Haven 1644, and may have been br. of Samuel at New Haven in the same yr. See Bailey. ROBERT, came from London in the Hopewell, Capt. Babb, in the autumn of 1635, aged 23; and ano.

SAMUEL, Windsor, prob. s. of William, m. 18 May 1693, Margaret Chapman, had Hannah, b. 2 Apr. 1698; Samuel, 6 June 1704; and his w. d. 12 Aug. 1715, unless this Margaret were a d. not mark. on rec.

PHILIP, Salem, had gr. of ld. 1637. WILLIAM, Salem 1668; but in Ed. 2 of his Ann. Mr. Felt makes the name Beere; and it has been read Beebe. But, as Beanes, he claim. as an heir of Robert Buffum, perhaps by m. of his d. BEARD, AARON, Pemaquid, or neighb. 1674, sw. fidel. to Mass. JAMES, Milford 1642, came with his mo. Martha, tw. brs. and three sis. his f. dying on the voyage, as the fam. tradit. tells, wh. adds, that he was eldest ch. and that it adds no more should not discourage large inq. His inv. was tak. 27 Oct. 1681. One of his sis. was w. of Nicholas Camp; ano. Martha, m. 20 Dec. 1649, John Streame. JEREMY, Milford, br. of the preced. is altogether barren of any informat. in fam. tradit. but of *JOHN, Milford, the other br. of the preced. that source of intellig. is more bountif. He was a man of import., rep. 1677, and oft. aft. had two ws. but wh. as first may need investigat. One, perhaps the earlier, had been by name of Hannah Hawley m. to John Ufford, or Offit, and at her desire divorc. By her he had sev. ch. and by Abigail, d. of Richard Hollingworth, perhaps the sec. had prob. no ch. was capt. in one of the expedit. against the Ind. 1675. His est. was distrib. 18 Nov. 1690, to w. Ann, ch. John, James, Joseph, Samuel, Mary, w. of Timothy Baldwin, and Ann; and the wid. d. 1698. The list of proprs. 1713 at M. has sev. of this name wh. were descend. of him or his brs. JOSEPH, Dover, s. of William, suffer. loss of his garris. ho. 1694, and left a wid. Esther bef. 1705.

Yet it may be that this Thomas was s. of William. THOMAS, Ipswich, freem., perhaps, of Boston, 1675, a mariner. WILLIAM, Dover 1640, had Joseph, b. 1655, was "the good old man" k. by the Ind. at Durham 1675. See Hubbard's Ind. Wars, and Young's Chron. 186. BEARDING. See Barding. [[149]] BEARSE, BEARCE, or BIERCE, AUSTIN, or AUGUSTINE, Barnstable, came in the Confidence 1638, aged 20, from Southampton, and join. Lothrop's ch. in Apr. 1643, had Mary, b. 1640; Martha, 1642; both bapt. 7 May 1643; Pricilla, 10 Mar. 1644; Sarah, 29 Mar. 1646; Abigail, 19 Dec. 1647; Hannah, 18 Nov. 1649; Joseph, 20 Jan. 1652; Esther, 2 Oct. 1653; Lydia, late in Sept. 1655; Rebecca, 26 Sept. 1657; and James, late in July 1660. Of this sec. s. as no more is heard, it is suppos. that he d. young; but for the nine ds. we know only three that m., Sarah, in Aug. 1667 to John Hamlin; Abigail, 12 Apr. 1670 to Allen Nichols; and Rebecca, 17 Feb. 1671 to William Hunter. JOSEPH, Barnstable, s. of the preced. m. 3 Dec. 1675, Martha, d. of Richard Taylor, wh. d. 27 Jan. 1728, aged 76, had Mary, b. 16 Aug. 1677; Joseph, 21 Feb. 1680; Benjamin, 21 June 1682; Priscilla, 31 Dec. 1683, d. at 3 mos.; Ebenezer 20 Jan. 1685; John, 8 May 1687; these four s. were bapt. 16 Dec. 1688; Josiah, 10 Mar. 1690, bapt. 10 Apr. 1691; and James, b. 3 Oct. 1692. BEARSLEY, BEARDSLEY, BERDSLEY, or BERSLEY (sound BARESLEY), DANIEL, Stratford 1675, s. of William of the same, d. 1730, aged 85. JOHN Stratford 1668, br. of the preced. JOSEPH, Stratford, br. of the preced. freem. 1669, had Joseph, b. 1666; John, 1 Nov. 1668; Hannah, 1671; and perhaps others. SAMUEL, Stratford, br. of the preced. freem. 1669, had Abigail, b.

THOMAS, Fairfield, perhaps br. of William. d. 1656. THOMAS, Stratford, s. of Thomas of Milford, d. 1668. WILLIAM, Stratford, a mason, came 1635, in the Planter from London, aged 30, with w. Mary, 26, and ch. Mary 4; John, 2; and Joseph, 6 mos. He was freem. in Mass. 7 Dec. 1636, but dwell, in wh. town is unkn. was one of the orig. proprs. of S. 1640, and there had Daniel, b. 1644; beside Samuel wh. d. 1706; prob. Sarah, wh. m. 1668, Obadiah Dickinson of Hatfield, and one or more other ds. was rep. 1645, and often after, and d. 1661. His will of 28 Sept. 1660, names w. and four s., Daniel, John, Joseph, and Samuel; gives to ds. m. £10 ea. and a large sum to be distrib. by the w. to other ch. prob. younger, and unm. of wh. were certain. William, and Thomas. Of the grs. at Yale, in 1828, were seven Beardsleys. BEAUCHAMP, or BEACHUM, EDWARD, Salem 1637, join. with the ch. 29 Dec. 1639, and his w. Mary join. the foll. yr., was freem. 28 Feb. 1643, had Samuel, bapt. 31 Oct. 1641, wh. d. 20 Nov. 1662; Mary, 10 Sept. 1643, d. young; Mary, again, 27 June 1647, d.

JOHN, Boston, leather-dresser, a Huguenot, brot. prob. most of his ch. to N. E. but it is not kn. when or where he land. first. By w. Marguerite, we see in rec. of B. that he had here Catharine, b. 10 June 1687; and Peter, 17 Apr. 1702, perhaps youngest of [[150]] the stock, if not even the sole of N. E. b. Had the rec. of that French ch. been preserv. we should less often be driv. to conject. In the print. list of taxab. inhab. of B. 1695, publ. by Dearborn in his Boston Notions, the French names are frequent. spel. strangely; yet among them may our Huguenot leather-dress. be misrepresent. as John Bashoon. He bot. of Daille, their first min. his ho. in what is now Washington str. and left by his will £10 to the ch.

Isaac; Mary Ann m. a Lawrence, and her s. John bec. Treasr. of Conn. Margaret m. a Chenevard, and her descend. were long at H. and at the time of the d. of her f. Susanna was unm. ROBERT, Ipswich, writ. Beacham, as always pronounc. in Eng. in 1651 had w. Isabel, rem. 1654, prob. to Norwalk, and 1664 to Fairfield, there was liv. 1670, with w. Elizabeth wh. had perhaps got back to I. where wid. Elizabeth B. was bur. 18 Jan. 1687. BEAUMONT, or BEMENT, THOMAS, New Haven 1639, m. the wid. of Eleazer Stent, mo. of Eleazer and Elizabeth S. but had no ch. by her, and d. 1686. BECK, ALEXANDER, Boston, freem. 3 Sept. 1634, by w. Mary, wh. d. 2 May 1639, had prob. no ch. but he soon m. Elizabeth Hinds of Roxbury, had Ephraim, and Deliverance, tw. b. 1, bapt. 7 June 1640; Strange, bapt. 5 June 1642, a. 5 days old; tho. the unworthy copy of town rec. of births has the monstrous assert. of these three, as b. at once; and Manasseh, b. 8, bapt. 12 Oct. 1645. HENRY, Dover, came in the Blessing, 1635, aged 18, emb. at London late in July, as I saw in the rec. of London custom ho. for that yr. so far more prob. than the tradit. giv. by Coffin in Geneal. Reg. XI. 256, of his com. the same yr. in the Angel Gabriel, wreck. at Pemaquid the mid. of Aug. The Blessing did not reach Boston bef. Oct. Part of the same story is, that he was from Hertfordsh. wh. is so near to London, whence sixteen ships brought passeng. to Boston, that we can never believe he would have gone to the other side of the kingdom, for the voyage of the Angel Gabriel, begin. at Bristol, 22 June. He m. Ann Frost, had Joshua; Thomas, b. a 1657; Caleb; and Henry; beside d. Mary, wh. m. a White. Coffin adds, that he liv. to be 110; and how gr. this would appear to be exag. we may better judge, when the time of his d. is ascertain. MANASSEH, Boston, s. of Alexander, was freem. 1672, and this is all I kn. of him. THOMAS, Dover, prob. s. of Henry, in Coffin's rep., m. Mary Frost, had eight ch. of wh. he names Thomas, Joshua, Abigail, Henry, Mary, [[151]] Samuel, and Hannah; and he d. 7 Nov. 1734, aged 77. His wid. Mary d. 25 Feb. 1753, aged 94. BECKET, JOHN, Salem, shipwright, ment. first in 1655, d. 26 Nov. 1683, aged a. 57, leav. wid. Margaret, then 56 yrs. old, ch. William, Mary, Sarah, John, and Hannah the youngest. His wid. m. Philip Cromwell, and d. at ninety yrs. Mary m. 20 July 1675, Daniel Webb. JOHN, Salem, s. of the preced. m. 26 Sept. 1711, Susanna Mason, had Mary, b. 25 July 1712. STEPHEN, Roxbury, came from Ipswich in the Francis, 1634, aged 11 yrs. only, and under the charge of Richard Pepper, wh. after a few yrs. at R. rem. to Conn. prob. for that Col. was resid. of his apprent. in 1649. See Beckwith. WILLIAM, Salem, s. of John the first, by w. Hannah had John, b. 10 Aug. 1684; Hannah, 17 July 1685; and Margaret, 14 May 1688. BECKFORD, or BICKFORD (more common in early days), GEORGE, had, in 1666, w. Christian, and serv. Hugh Hancock, as Coffin tells in Geneal. Reg. VI. 243; but of what settlem. he was, we must trust to conject. for Dover. His wid. took admin. at Marblehead in June 1678. JOHN, Dover 1647, in 1669 was of that part call. Oyster riv. now Durham, freem. of Mass. 1671, had s. John, and Joseph. JOHN, DOVER, s. of the preced. by w. Temperance, d. of William Furber of the same, had Thomas, b. 1660; Hannah, 5 Nov. 1665; and Benjamin, 20 Oct. 1672. He or s. John m. Elizabeth d. of Jeremy Tibbets of the same, but confus. easily aris. betw. fam. connex. of sec. and third John. SAMUEL, Salisbury, m. a d. of Edward Cottle, and rem. to Nantucket, where he purchas. 12 Nov. 1678, a half sh., had Elizabeth b. 16 Feb. 1672; and Deborah, 5 Feb. 1674. THOMAS, Dover, or Durham, br. of the sec. John, m. Bridget, d. of William Furber. He was in gr. danger at the assault by the Ind. 18 July 1694, saved by skill and courage, as may be read in the Magn. VII. appx. art. 20; or Farmer's Belkn. I. 140. BECKLEY, JOHN, Hartford, prob. s. of Richard, had Hannah, wh. m. 10 Sept. 1689, Robert Webster. RICHARD, New Haven 1639, rem. to Wethersfield bef. 1668, had prob. two ws. of wh. the latter was a d. of John Deming, ch. Sarah, perhaps b. in Eng. m. 21 Oct. 1657, John Church of Hartford; John, b. 6 Mar. 1642; Mary, bapt. 12 Sept. 1647; Benjamin, 27 Jan. bapt. 10 Mar. 1650; Nathaniel, b. 13 oct. 1652, bapt. 15 Oct. 1653; and Hannah, 14 Oct. 1656; and d. 5 Aug. 1690 at W. BECKWITH, JOSEPH, Lyme, s. of Matthew, by w. Susanna had Sarah, b. 14 Apr. 1677; and Joseph, 15 Apr. 1679. MATTHEW, New London 1652, Hartford 1658, then a freem., and had first liv. there 1639, rem. to Branford, there in 1668 was one of the founders of ch., thence to Lyme, there d. 21 Oct. 1680, aged a. 70, by fall in a dark night down a ledge of rocks. See Rev. Mr. Bradstreet's journal in Geneal. Reg. IX. 50. He had two ds. beside s. Matthew, John, and Joseph. His wid. m. Samuel Buckland; and of the ds. one m. Benjamin Grant; the other, Robert [[152]] Gerard; but the name of either is not seen. MATTHEW, Lyme, s. of the preced. by w. Elizabeth had Matthew, John, and James, the last b. 1 June 1671, and all were bapt. 10 Sept. foll. Jonah, b. 27 Dec. 1673; Prudence, 22 Aug. 1676; Elizabeth 4 Feb. 1679; Ruth, 14 Mar. 1681; and Sarah Dec. 1684. A sec. w. Elizabeth wid. of Peter Pratt, wh. she m. after divorce from John Rogers, was d. of Matthew Griswold. Her he m. 1691, had a d. Griswold; and he d. 4 June 1727, in his will nam. all the ch. exc. Sarah, perhaps dec. and his wid. d. next mo. NATHANIEL, Lyme, s. perhaps of Matthew the first, there in 1675, had Nathaniel, b. 28 May 1679 and was liv. 1690. Of descend. some are still at New London, Miss Caulkins says, and often call. Becket; while at Branford it appears Bickatt. STEPHEN, Norwalk 1654, rem. soon, but came back after 1655. Perhaps he was that passeng. in the Francis, ment. under Becket. THOMAS, Roxbury 1650, rem. perhaps to Fairfield, and left his w. wh. obtain. divorce 1655. BEDELL, BEDLE, or BEEDLE, ROBERT, New London 1648, had, perhaps, been at Wethersfield, where Hinman, 164, ranks him among first sett. there prob. had Robert, b. 1642; and he rem. 1650, to Newbury, I presume. ROBERT, Salisbury, s. prob. of the preced. by w. Martha had Mary, b. 31 July 1666; rem. to Newbury, and had Thomas, 30 Apr. 1668; Elizabeth 22 Nov. 1669; Judith, 29 Mar. 1671, d. at 2 yrs. Robert. Jan. 1675; Judith, again, 8 Mar. 1676, d. next yr.; and John, 23 Apr. 1678. Coffin, in his Hist. says Hannah, perhaps his w. d. 15 Nov. 1678. BEDFORD, NATHAN, Scarborough, was constable 1665, kept the inn 1675, and d. 1681 by drown. In Southgate's Hist. the strange wildness of a story, how he was murder. by the venerab. Joshua Scottow, may be read. He left wid. Ann. BEDIENT, MORGAN, Hadley, came with his mo. Mary from Staines, near London, to rec. the est. devis. by her br. John Barnard, and d. bef. reach. his majority. THOMAS, Hadley, younger br. of the preced. b. 1654, a co-devisee, came with his mo., rem. to Fairfield, and d. a. 1698. BEDURTHA, BEDORTHA, or BODURTHA, JOHN, Springfield, s. of Rice, as drown. 18 Mar. 1683, with his f. and Lydia, w. of his br. Joseph, and Mercy, d. of his br. Samuel. JOSEPH, Springfield, br. of the preced. had three ws. and eleven ch. but details are not kn. to me, tho. in Geneal. Reg. XII. 176, we almost discov. one of the ws. Rice, Reice, Reise, or ROISE (as if the surname were not suffic. various in spel.), Springfield, m. 1646, Blanch Lewis, had Joseph, b. 1649; Samuel, 1651; John, 1654; beside two younger ch. and he was drown. with s. John. SAMUEL, Springfield, s. of the preced. had two ws. of wh. one was Mary, wid. of Able Leonard, wh. he m. July 1691, and he had fourteen ch. but I kn. nothing of them, only that he d. 1728. [[153]] BEDWELL, SAMUEL, Boston, m. 2 Feb. 1654 Mary Hodgkinson, perhaps had that SAMUEL, of Middletown, wh. d. Apr. 1715, or may be the same. BEEBE, or BEEBY, JAMES, Hadley, m. 24 Oct. 1667, Mary, d. of Robert Boltwood, had Mary, b. 18 Aug. 1668, d. young; James, 9 Dec. 1669, d. young; Rebecca, 8 Dec. 1670; Samuel, 26 June 1672; and Mary, again, 1675. Perhaps, as this fam. soon rem. it may, in some branches, be found Bibby. James, Stratford, m. 19 Dec. 1679, Sarah, d. of the first Thomas Benedict, had Sarah, b. 13 Nov. 1680; and James; rem. to Norwalk, thence to Danbury, and may be the same as the foregoing. JOHN, New London 1651, m. Abigail, d. of James York of Stonington, had John, Benjamin, and Rebecca; was twenty yrs. serj. and in 1690 lieut., liv. to gr. age, d. a. 1708. His wid. d. 9 Mar. 1725, aged 86. Rebecca m. Richard Shaw of Easthampton, L. I. NaTHANIEL, New London, youngest br. of the preced. rem. 1670, or earlier, to Stonington, had prob. no ch. and d. 17 Dec. 1724, aged 93. SAMUEL, New London, br. of the preced. m. Agnes, d. of William Keeny, had also sec. w. Mary. His ch. were Samuel, William, Nathaniel, Thomas, Jonathan, Agnes, Ann, Susanna, and Mary; but I am unable to div. them betw. the ws. yet doubt not, that nearly all were by the first. He own. the chief part of Plumb Isl. and rem. to it, d. 1712, aged 91, leav. wid. Of the ds., Agnes m. John Daniels ; Ann m. Thomas Crocker; Susanna m. Aaron Fountain; and Mary m. Richard Tozer. THOMAS, New London 1651, br. of the preced. m. Milicent, wid. first of William Southmayd, and next of William Ash, d. of William Addis, had only s. Thomas, and ds. Hannah, wh. m. 1697, John Hawke; Milicent, wh. m. Nicholas Darrow; and Rebecca, wh. m. Nathaniel Holt; and he d. 1699. His s. wh. never m. d. 1727. BEECHER, or BEACHER, ISAAC, New Haven, had Isaac, b. 18 Aug. 1650; Samuel, 17 Oct. 1652; and Eleazer, 8 Apr. 1655. Perhaps he had other ch. John and Joseph. His mo. Hannah, a wid. in her will, 1657, ment. two ch., this Isaac. and William Potter, s. of her former h. in Eng. In 1685 Isaac sen. Isaac jun. and Eleazer were proprs. His will was of 26 Sept. 1689; and inv. of 28 Aug. foll. ISAAC, New Haven, s. perhaps eldest of the preced. by w. Joanna had Isaac, b. 20 Oct. 1680; Ebenezer, 24 Feb. 1683; Joanna, and Hannah, prob. tw. bapt. 1685; John, 1689; Abigail, and Abiah, tw. b. 25 Sept. 1693; and Jemima, 12 Dec. 1696; and he d. 1708. JOHN, New Haven, br. of the preced. by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 9 Oct. 1671; Mary, 23 Feb. 1673; Elizabeth; Joanna, 21 July 1677; Sarah; Jemima, 11 Feb. 1681; Joseph, 13 Feb. 1684; and Ebenezer, 12 Apr. 1686; and d. 1712. THOMAS, Charlestown 1630, freem. 6 Nov. 1632, had been engage. as capt. of the Talbot, 1629, in bring. passeng. to our country, and next yr. with Winthrop's fleet, when his w. Christian, wh. had been w. of Thomas Copper of Wapping, near London (wh. left her a freehold est. at Harwich), came with him, and was of the first ten mem. of the ch. He was one of the earliest selectmen of the town, and at the first gen. ct. 14 May 1634, when repr. came, he was one (all former gen. ct. being inclus. of every freem. of the Col.), and serv. sev. foll. sessions, made capt. of the castle 1635, and d. 1637. His inv. 29 July of this yr. made by Ralph Sprague, Abram Palmer, and Thomas [[154]] Ewer, shows £405.16s. His wid. became sec. w. of Nicholas Easton, and d. 20 Feb. 1665. No ch. of B. is seen on any rec. tho. Frothingham, 80, thinks Dr. Lyman Beecher, Y. C. 1797, a descend. prob. on recent suggest. But the progenit. of this disting. fam. was Isaac. BEEDER, perhaps BEEDE, THOMAS, Newport 1639. BEEFORD, RICHARD, Gloucester 1643, by w. Mary had John, b. 26 Oct.

BELLAMY, JOHN, New Haven 1614, merch. from London, had w. but no ch. here bef his embarka. Jan. 1646, with Capt. Lamberton, on that sad voyage to London, from N. H. wherein so many of the flower of the Col. were lost. Against that tradit. nothing can be alleg. unless it be discredit. so far as B. is implicat. in it, by non-appear. of his name on any rec. at N. H. MATTHEW, New Haven, was sch. master at Stamford 1658, but Cothren thinks he was first at Fairfield, bot. and sold ld. at S. up to 1670, but m. at N. M. 1671, Bethia, d. of Timothy Ford, had Matthew, b. a. 1672; Bethia, 3 Aug,. 1673, d. soon; Elizabeth Nov. 1674, d. soon; and Mary, 1675, wh. m. 28 Jan. 1703, Elijah How; exercis. his skill at Guilford and Killingworth, and in 1675 had gr. of ld. at Saybrook, bot. ho. there next yr. wh. he sold in 1677.

Part of this may be true, as that his first w. was Sarah, sis. [[161]] of Richard Wood of W. and her fifth ch. was Joseph, b. 20 Feb. 1719, of Y.

BELLAMONT, RICHARD, the Earl of, Gov. of Mass. appoint. by the crown, as success. to Sir William Phips, was the only peer ever thus deput. came to Mass. from New York, 26 May 1699, and went back; next yr. BELLINGHAM, RICHARD, Boston, had been recorder of old Boston from 1625 to 1633, when he partook largely of the desire to migr. and with w. and s.

For sec. w. he m. 1641, Penelope, the young sis. of Herbert Pelham, Esq. wh. had embark. 15 May 1635, aged 16, in the Susan and Ellen. Beside the impropr. of this match, in point of age, it was unduly solemniz. as in Winthrop Hist. is told. By her he had Hannah, bapt. 14 Aug. 1642; John, H. C. 1661, wh. next yr. was agent for his f. at Rowley in care of ld. that had been his uncle William's; James, b. 3, bapt. 10 May 1646; and Grace, wh. d. 3 Sept. 1654; and these are all of wh. we find notice. His wid. liv. near 30 yrs. d. 28 May 1702. For her and s. Samuel he provid. in his will, that was however so perversely drawn, as to be set aside by the Gen. Ct. Of his weakness as ch. magistr. other strange instances are relat. by the early hist. of N. E. but the most to be regrett. was his enmity, at a later day, to the foundat. of the O. S. or 3d ch. of Boston, that ceas. only with his life. Gov. Coddington of R. I. wh. had been, in their day of small things, much assoc. with B. in both Bostons, almost exults at his completion of the measure of his iniquity in distraction, closing his "Demonstration of True Love"in this emphatic style: "The hand of the Lord cuts him off, not giving him repentance to life, that other sons of Belial of his persecuting, spirit might be warned, not to put the evil day far from them." Without sympathy in the triumph of Gov. C. it is grateful to me to remark, that the unbrok. reign of dismal bigotry from 1649 to 1672 inclus. under Dudley, Endicot, and Bellingham, hard, harder, hardest, betw. the mild wisdom of Winthrop and the tolerant dignity [[162]] of Leverett, came to its end with that last of the triumvirs of Mass. SAMUEL, Boston, s. of the preced. was of the earliest class of H. C. 1642, and at Rowley next yr. but soon went to Europe, stud. at Leyden, and there took his degr. of M.
