Charles Sidney Ensign, a life member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society since 1889, Corresponding Secretary of the Society in 1895, at various times a member of its Council, and at the time of his death Vice-President of the Society for Massa- chusetts, died at his home in Newton, Mass., 10 April 1917, in the seventy-fifth year of his age.
He was born at Hartford, Conn., 26 July 1842, the only child of Sidney Ariel and Julia Maria (Brockway) Ensign, and was seventh in descent from James^ Ensign of Cambridge, Mass., and Hartford,' Conn., through David,^ Thomas,' Moses,* Isaac,^ Ariel,^ and Sidney Ariel,^ his father.
The Ensign family is probably of Frisian or Danish origin, its eponymous ancestor in England being, we may assume, one of the early invaders of the British Isles who in the period of the Teutonic migrations settled in Kent. It is likely that he was called Ens, from the name of his former home, a small fishing community on the isle of Schokland in the Zuyder Zee, included in the region then known as Frisia and now a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In 1852, on account of the inroads of the sea, the inhabitants of this little island were ordered to abandon it and seek abodes elsewhere. The son of this invader was doubtless known as Ensing, -ing being an old English term meaning "descended from," which was used later to designate a family or tribe. It is a singular fact that this name kept its original form, with only slight variations in spelHng, until after some of the bearers of this surname had migrated to New England. In Hartford, Conn., the name appears as Ensing, the form used by a witness to a will in October 1666 and in the wills of James^ Ensign and his wife Sarah in 1670 and 1676.
Early English records speak of the family as ancient and honor- able, but small. Its seat was at Chilham, co. Kent, not far from Canterbury. On the present map of Kent, a few miles north of Chilham, may be found an Ensden Wood, and near it is a hamlet or village called Ensden, Ensden being a contraction from Ensingden. It would appear, therefore, that at an early date an Ensing made his abode in a wooded vale, called in Old Enghsh a "den." The

arms of the Chilham family were: Sable, tliree swords erect argent, pommels or, two and one. In 18 Richard II [1394-5] Richard, son of William de Ensigne, held a manor called Ensigne's manor. A younger branch of the family was settled at Windham in Norfolk, an old Saxon locality. Their arms, according to the Visitations of Norfolk, were: Sable, three swords erect in fesse, points in chief, argent, hilts and pommels or, a crescent for difference. The male hne of the Ensings of Windham soon became extinct.* That the Ensigns of New England were an offshoot from the English family of Ensing is a reasonable conjectm^e, but not a proved fact.
A Thomas Ensigne came to the PljTnouth Colony in 1633/4, and settled at Scituate. He married, 17 January 1638/9, Elizabeth Wilder,! and he was propounded for admission as freeman on 5 March following. He became, an influential man in the Colony, and died in 1663. In his will, dated 16 July 1663 and proved 9 June 1664, he mentioned his surviving children, John, Hannah, and Sarah. Another son, Thomas, of Cranbrook, co. Kent, yeoman, had died five or SLX years earlier, and in his will, dated 3 September 1657 and proved 24 March 1657/8, had mentioned his father, Thomas Ensigne, his brother John, and his sisters Hannah and Sarah, all in New England.! John was killed in 1676 in King Philip's War, and by his death the male line of this branch of the family became extinct.
James^ Ensign, probably the ancestor of every Ensign in the United States and presumably the brother of Thomas, came to Newtown, now Cambridge, Mass., with Rev. Thomas Hooker's com- pany. In Governor Winthrop's History of New England, under date of 14 August 1632, is this entry: "The Braintree company, (which had begun to sit down at Mount Wollaston,) by order of court, removed to Newtown. These were Mr. Hooker's company." It is supposed that they were called the Braintree Company because they came from Braintree, a town about forty miles from London. This change, however, was not permanent, for in May 1636 Gov- ernor Winthrop entered in his History: "Mr. Hooker, pastor of the church of Newtown, and the most of his congregation, went to Connecticut. His wife was carried in a horse litter; and they drove one hundred and sixty cattle, and fed of their milk by the way."
Among this company of hardy pioneers was James Ensign. Where and when he was born is unknown; but it appears that he was made a freeman in Cambridge on 4 March 1634/5, and owned an estate on the easterly side of Brighton Street, extending from Mt. Auburn Street to Winthrop Street.
On his removal to the Hartford settlement, as one of the original proprietors he was allotted twenty-four acres on the south side of the town. He was prominent in church and town affairs, was chosen constable for several years, and was chimney viewer, sur- veyor, and townsman. In February 1669/70 he, with his wife Sarah

t This was evidently not his first marriage.
X This will is recorded in the Prerogative Court of Canterburj', Register Wootton, 198. It contains much genealogical information, the testator mentioning his uncle William Austen and several other relatives. Cf. abstract in New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. 42, p. 97.

and thirty others, formed the South, or Second, Congregational Church. He died in November 1670, and in his will bequeathed £6 "towards the building of the new meeting house." His estate was appraised at £729. 2s. 9d., a considerable estate for that period. His wife died in 1676.
His son, David,^ was born at Hartford in 1644. Like his father he was prominent in church and town affairs, and was chosen chimney viewer, surveyor, and grand juryman. He married first, 22 October 1663, Mehitable Gunn, daughter of Thomas Gunn of Wind- sor, Conn., who came from Dorchester, Mass., in 1636; and secondly Sarah (Wilcocks) Long of Middletown, Conn., daughter of John and Sarah (Savage) Wilcocks and former wife of Thomas Long. He was one of the first settlers of West Hartford, whither he moved in 1713, and was a petitioner for the establishment there of an ecclesiastical society, his name standing first on the list of church members. He died 14 December 1727, in his eighty-third year, and was buried in the old cemetery in West Hartford, where his gravestone bears the following inscription: "Here Lyeth the Body of M'' Dauid Ensign Who Died Decem"" ye 14th 1727 in ye 83 year of his age."
Thomas' Ensign, son of David, was born 7 December 1668. He married, 1 December 1692, Hannah Shepard, daughter of John and Rebecca (Greenhill) Shepard. He, too, played his part in the affairs of the Colony, holding the offices of chimney viewer, constable, grand juryman, and surveyor of highways. He died in January or February 1737/8.
Moses'' Ensign, the date of whose birth is uncertain, was bap- tized 29 February 1707/8 in the Second Church at Hartford. He married, 3 January 1731/2, Love Andrus or Andrews, daughter of Thomas and Love (Knight) Andrus, and died 26 May 1751.
Isaac^ Ensign, a skilful and noted blacksmith, the recipient in 1770 of a grant of land from the town of Simsbury, Conn., on which he built his blacksmith's shop in 1770-1, and a soldier in the Revo- lutionary War, was born at Hartford 16 December 1747. He mar- ried, 29 December 1771, Lurannah Pettibone, daughter of Capt. Jacob and Jennie (Cornish) Pettibone of Simsbury. He was elected in 1773 surveyor of highways and in 1808 was grand juror. He died 12 May 1816, and was buried in the cemetery in Simsbury, where the following inscription appears on his tombstone: "Mr Isaac Ensign was born Dec. 16, 1747 & died May 12, 1816."
ArieP Ensign was born at Simsbury, Conn., 19 July 1778, and was baptized 21 May 1780. He removed to Hartford, Conn., and was a teacher, merchant, and the compiler of the first directory of Hart- ford, in 1828. Later he was an editor in New York, where he died about 1844. In 1804 he married Roxy Gilbert of Berlin, Conn., daughter of Col. Seth and Lucy (Kelsey) Gilbert, and a descendant of Jonathan Gilbert, the first marshal of the Hartford Colony and grandfather of Jonathan Belcher, Colonial governor of Massachu- setts and later of New Jersey. He held the offices of Hster, fence viewer, collector, and grand juror.
Sidney ArieF Ensign, son of Ariel and father of the subject of this memoir, was born at Simsbury, Conn., 3 February 1817. He
6 Charles Sidney Ensign [Jan.
was a boot and shoe merchant in Hartford, and afterwards an ex- tensive real-estate operator in Connecticut, New York, and the West. He was a member of the Hartford Common Council in 1860-61, and a man of unquestioned abihty and integrity. During the Civil War he was treasurer of the Union Defence Committee of Hartford, and in this capacity upwards of $200,000 passed through his hands, the auditors finding his accounts accurate to a cent. He married Juha Maria Brockway, daughter of Alva and Maria (Hull) Brock- way, granddaughter of Ehjah Brockway, son of Isaac, a drummer in the War of 1812, great-great-granddaughter of Samuel Brockway, who served under Pepperell in the siege of Louisburg, and a direct descendant of Wolston Brockway, one of the original settlers of Lyme, Conn.
Charles Sidney^ Ensign received his early education in private and public schools at Hartford, Conn., in the commercial school of Nicholas Harris, and in the private school of Edward L. Hart at Farmington, Conn. At the age of fifteen he was prepared to enter Yale College, but owing to poor health abandoned his studies and entered his father's boot and shoe warehouse, where he remained until he was sixteen. He then entered the law office of Thomas C. and Charles E. Perkins, leading lawyers in Hartford, and remained with them for one year, when he entered the Hopkins Grammar School, with the idea of preparing again for college, but again ill health compelled him to abandon this plan. In September 1861 he entered the Harvard Law School, and was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Laws on 15 July 1863. He remained at Har- vard another year, pursuing a postgraduate course. He was ad- mitted to the Middlesex County bar at Cambridge, 5 January 1864, intending at that time to practise law in Boston, and entered the law office of James Bradley Thayer, Esq., late professor in the Har- vard Law School. He decided, however, to return to Hartford, was admitted to the Connecticut bar 19 July 1864 and to the bar of the United States Circuit and District Courts 23 November 1864, and began the practice of the law at Hartford.
On 10 April 1865, before he was twenty-three years of age, he was elected a member of the Hartford Comimon Council, and served on a special committee to confer with a committee of the Connecti- cut State Legislature in regard to the erection of a new capitol in Hartford. This conference resulted in the agitation that caused the abohtion by constitutional amendment of the capital at New Haven.
In July 1865 he went to Europe, and remained there until August
1867, engaged in study and travel. He visited many countries, including England, France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Russia. He attended lectures at the College of France in Paris, although he was not regularly matriculated in that institution.
In the fall of 1867 he settled in New York City, and on 9 April
1868, at the general term of the Supreme Court, was admitted to the New York bar.
In 1871 he moved his home to Brooklyn, N. Y., and there became

interested in public affairs, serving as president of the Citizens' Association, and as vice-president of the Citizens' Democratic Asso- ciation of King's County. He was a member of the Municipal Union Society, organized 12 February 1874, to promote the union of New York City with Brooklyn, a manager of the Advisory Com- mittee of Ward 22, and a member of the Board of Managers of the Brooklyn Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor. He was also an original member of the Bar Association of Brooklyn, organized 17 June 1872. On 24 January 1876 he was elected for three years a delegate at large from Ward 22 to the Democratic General Committee of King's County, and during the Tilden cam- paign he was its corresponding secretary. On 15 February 1877 he was elected a delegate from the Twenty-second Ward Tax-Payers' Association to the Tax-Payers' Central Association of the City of Brooklyn. On 5 March 1877 he was elected its secretary and on 5 March 1878 its president. It was through this organization that real municipal reform in that city was begun. He was also a mem- ber of the influential, nonpartisan Committee of One Hundred.
In the fall of 1879 Mr. Ensign removed to Watertown, Mass., and in 1884 engaged in the active practice of the law in Boston. In Watertown likewise he took a leading part in town affairs. He was a member of the School Board for eight years (1886-1894) and a trustee of the Public Library for three years (1887-1890), being secretary of the Board in 1887 and its chairman in 1888 and 1889. He dechned a reelection to each office. He was also moderator of the Watertown town meetings. In 1891 he represented Watertown and Belmont in the General Court, serving as chairman of the Library Committee of the House of Representatives and as clerk of the Committee on Probate and Insolvency and being one of the twenty members who caused the defeat of the Salary Grab Bill. In 1895 he was a candidate for senator on a Citizens' ticket from the second Middlesex senatorial district, but was defeated by the Republican nominee by only nineteen votes, the usual Republican majority being three thousand. This defeat was due to the refusal of the authorities to allow a recount of the vote in the city of Waltham, as everything indicated his election.
In 1897 he moved his home to Newton, Mass., where he continued to take the same active part in pubhc affairs. He was a member of the Board of Aldermen for five years (1901-1905), serving on the Committee on Public Works and as chairman of the Committee on Claims; and in the spring of 1917 he was a candidate for delegate to the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention, but was defeated in the primary election.
In politics he was always a firm believer in the principles of Thomas Jefferson, although independent, especially in municipal affairs. He came by these beliefs naturally, as one of his grandfathers voted for Thomas Jefferson and both voted for Andrew Jackson. In 1884 he allied himself with the Independents of Massachusetts. In 1887 he became a member of the Young Men's Democratic Club of Massa- chusetts, was elected in December 1888 to its Executive Committee, and in August 1889 was made secretary of the Committee, with
8 Charles Sidney Ensign -[Jan.
headquarters at 127A Tremont Street, Boston. During his resi- dence in Brooklyn his name was considered for the Board of Educa- tion, the L(^islature, the Mayoralty, and the Bench; and m Massa- chusetts his name was twice presented to the Governor as a possible selection for judicial honors. He never sought political preferment. The offices wliich he filled were urged upon him without solicitation on his part, and often without his knowledge and against his will. He was firmly convinced that "the office should seek the man and not the man the office."
In the earlier part of his life Mr. Ensign was connected with the Protestant Episcopal Church, having been confirmed in St. John's Church, Hartford, by Bishop Williams of Connecticut, 30 August 1863. From the time of his removal to New York until 6 June 1869 he was a communicant of Grace Church, New York. At that time, with his wife, he united with the Madison Avenue Presby- terian Church, and on 4 January 1874 both united by letter with the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church in Brooklyn. On re- moving to Massachusetts, on 7 March 1880 both united with the Eliot Congregational Church of Newton.
In 1885 he was president of the Ehot Literary Association, con- nected with the Eliot Church. For seventeen years he was clerk of the Ehot Rehgious Society, and was often moderator of its meetings and church auditor. He was hkewise a strong supporter of the Sunday school, and for a number of years before his death had been leader of the Mutual Bible Class, an adult class, which is older than the Church itself.
In the field of organized charity and social welfare also Mr. Ensign was active. At the time of his death he was a director of the New- ton Welfare Bureau and was first vice-president of the Florence Crittenton League of Compassion, being a director of the latter organization and chairman of its Executive Committee. He had also been, since January 1904, president of the Associated Charities of Newton.
From early manhood Mr. Ensign had devoted much time to the study of family history and to genealogical and antiquarian research. For nearly sixty years he had been engaged in the examination of records, both pubhc and private, relating to the Ensign family, and had been able to collect a vast amount of interesting information. In fact he had compiled a genealogical history of its various branches, and hoped that some day he would be able to publish it. This genealogy is invaluable, and is now in the possession of his son! He had also collected much material of value regarding the Hull, Gil- bert, and Brockway families, and had accumulated valuable data of an historical character.
Elected a resident member of the New England Historic Genea- logical Society on 6 November 1889, he became a fife member in the same year, and for more than a quarter of a century endeavored in every possible way to promote the welfare of the Society, rendering to it loyal and faithful service in the numerous and various positions to which he was called by vote of the Council or of the Society. He was repeatedly appointed to important committees in the Society,
1918] Charles Sidney Ensign 9
being a member of the Committee on Ancient Graveyards in 1899, of the Committee on the Cabinet in 1900 and 1901, of the Committee on Graveyard Inscriptions in 1901 and 1902, of the Committee on Memorials (holding the position of editor of this committee) in 1902, of the Committee on Epitaphs during the ten years 1903-1912 (serving as chairman in 1911 and 1912), and of the Committee on the Library from 1914 until his death (being chairman from 1915 on). In 1914 he was appointed by the President of the Society as chairman of a Special Committee on Revision of the By-Laws, and reported from this committee to the Society the amendments to Chapters II, III, IX, and XII of the By-Laws, which were adopted on 3 May 1916, the most important change introduced by these amendments being the transfer of the election of members of the Society from the Society to the Council. He continued as chair- man of this committee until his death, and he was also, in March 1917, placed on a committee on which he had not previously served, the Committee on Finance. In February 1893, only a few years after his membership in the Society began, he was chosen by the Society to fill a vacancy in the CouncQ; he was elected Correspond- ing Secretary of the Society for the year 1895; and on three different occasions he was elected as Councillor for the full term of three years, viz., for the years 1896-1898, 1900-1902, and 1914-1916. At the annual meeting of the Society on 7 February 1917 he was nomi- nated and unanimously elected as Vice-President for Massachusetts, in succession to the late Nathaniel Johnson Rust, whose death had occurred only two days before this meeting. He had often been summoned to act as chairman pro tempore at the meetings of the Council or of the Society, especially at the annual meetings of the Society, when the election of officers and councillors took place. His conspicuous ability as a presiding officer was recognized by all. Not the least of his services to the Society in recent years was the preparation of a memoir of the late Col. Albert Harrison Hoyt, A.M., a former editor of the Register and prominent member of the governing board of the Society, a task for which Mr. Ensign was especially fitted by reason of his long-standing acquaintance with Colonel Hoyt. This memoir was published in the Register of Jan- uary 1916.
On the membership rolls of many other organizations — social, literary, historical, patriotic, legal — Mr. Ensign's name was to be found. Since 1885 he had been a member of the Newton Monday Evening Club, organized in 1880, a social and literary organization, and for many years he was its secretary. He was also one of the founders of the Eight O'Clock Club, a similar organization for younger men. He was a life member of the American Historical Association, a member of the Connecticut Historical Society and of the Newton Historical Society, a corresponding member of the Maine Historical Society, an original member and one of the incor- porators of the Historical Society of Watertown, and formerly a member of the Bostonian Society. He was an associate member of Charles Ward Post No. 62, G. A. R., and also a member of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, an original member of the
10 A Grandson of Elder Thomas Cushman [Jan.
Massachusetts Bar Association, and a life member of the Harvard Law School Association, organized in 1886.
Mr, Ensign married, 2 December 1868, Angeline Faxon Earlier, daughter of Hiram and Hepseybeth (Faxon) Barker of Brighton, Mass., and great-granddaughter of Lieut. Roger Adams, who fought in the Battle of Lexington. Mrs. Ensign and their two children, Angie Gertrude Ensign and Charles Sidney Ensign, Jr., a lawyer practising in Boston, survive him,
Mr. Ensign was a sound lawyer, and a profound student not only of the law but also of the science of goverrmient, economics, and kindred subjects. He was an able parliamentarian, and was in constant demand as a presiding officer at all kinds of public meetings. He was a lover of good books, and his numerous addresses and papers, principally of an historical and genealogical nature, show a high grade of literary skill.
He was a friend to all. The poor laborer in the street as well aa the wealthy neighbor greeted him heartily. As some one said of him not long ago, "In all the many years I have known him I have heard not the slightest word spoken against him or his character."
He was blessed with a long and busy life, well-rounded, useful, and happy. Since boyhood he had enjoyed perfect health. His death came suddenly, for he was apparently in his usual vigor until three days before, when he was stricken with pneumonia.
No more we hear his footsteps; we see his vacant chair; we miss his kindly greetings; but we think of him, and thank God that "His life was gentle; and the elements So mix'd in hun, that Nature might stand up, And say to all the world. This was a man! "
A GRANDSON OF ELDER THOMAS CUSHMAN AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS
Compiled by James Thomas Cushman of Seattle, Wash., and communicated by Theodore Parker Adams, A.B., of Plymouth, Mass.
In Henry Wyles Cushman's "Genealogy of the Cushmans," pub- lished in 1855, and in Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary of New England," Thomas Cushman, eldest child of Elder Thomas Cushman of Plymouth in New England, is said to have had five children, viz., by Ruth Howland, afterwards his first wife, a son named Robert, who was born 4 Oct. 1664, and by his second wife, Abigail Fuller, four sons. Job, born probably about 1680, Bartholomew, baptized 13 Mar. 1684 [1684/5], Samuel, born 16 Julv 1687, and Benjamin, baptized 1 Mar. 1690/1. Neither to this Thomas, however, nor to any one of his three brothers. Rev. Isaac, Dea. Elkanah, and Eleazar, has a son named Thomas been assigned in printed accounts of the family, and therefore it has been believed that no son of Elder Thomas Cushman had a son named Thomas. It is the purpose of this article
1918] A Grandson of Elder Thomas Cushman 11
to show that Thomas Cushman, the eldest child of Elder Thomas, had a son named Thomas, and to trace to the present day one Une of descendants of this last-named Thomas.
In a deed dated 3 Feb. 1702 [1702/3] Thomas Cushman of Plym- outh, undoubtedly the son of the Elder, conveyed land in Dux- bury to Thomas Loring of Plymouth, "being the Spott upon which my Son, Thomas Cushman hath built." The deed is acknowledged, 5 Feb. 1702/3, by Thomas Cushman and his wife Abigail, and proves that Thomas Cushman, son of the Elder, had a son who bore his father's name. (Plymouth Deeds, Book 4, p. 167.) In a deed dated 4 Feb. 1702/3 Thomas Loring of Plymouth and Thomas Cushman of Duxbury (probably the son Thomas mentioned in the deed of the previous day) conveyed land in Duxbury to Maj. John Bradford of Plyipouth, Sarah, wife of Thomas Cushman, joining, 5 Feb. 1702/3, in acknowledging the deed. (lb., Book 10, part 1, p. 221.) This Thomas Cushman of Duxbury removed to Lebanon, Conn., a deed recorded at Lebanon showing that on 1 Apr. 1703 Thomas Coachman of Duxbury in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay bought land in Lebanon of Henry Woodward of Lebanon. (Lebanon Land Records, vol. 1, p. 281.) On gravestones in the Old Cemetery at Lebanon are the following inscriptions :
Here lies the Body of Mr. Thomas Cushman, late husband of Mrs.
Sarah Cushman, who died January 9, 1727, aged 57 years. [Verses
follow.] Here lies the Body of Mrs. Sarah Cushman, late wife of Mr. Thomas
Cushman, who died Dec. 25, 1726, aged 52 years. [Verses foUow.]
This Thomas Cushman, therefore, was born about 1670, and must have been the son of Thomas Cushman by the latter's first wife, Ruth Rowland, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Rowland, both of whom were passengers in the Mayflower in 1620. Sarah, wife of Thomas Cushman of Duxbury and Lebanon, was daughter of Jedediah Strong of Coventry, Conn., as is proved by a receipt (dated Coventry, 25 Sept. 1733) from WilHam Cushman [son of Thomas and Sarah] to "Preserved Strong Executor of y« last will of his father Jedediah Strong late of Coventry deceased," for 9s. 9d., "in full of what was will'd to me by my honoured Grandfather Jedediah Strong." (Windham, Conn., Probate Records, vol. 2, p. 260.) The following brief genealogy shows some of the descendants of Elder Thomas Cushman in the line of his grandson, Thomas of Duxbury and Lebanon ; and it will be observed that the name Thomas has descended in this branch of the family from father to son, from Elder Thomas of Plymouth almost to the present day.

Kent, shoemaker, the licence for her marriage to her first husband, which was to be celebrated at St. Mary Bredman's, Canterbury, being dated 28 Jan.. 1610/11. Robert Cushman is well known as the agent of the Leyden Pilgrims in England, and arrived at Plymouth in New England, with his son Thomas, in the Fortune in Nov. 1621. He sailed for England in the same ship about a month later, on busi- ness for the Colony, leaving his son Thomas in the care of Governor Bradford. Apparently his wife never came to New England, and she probably died before her husband and stepson began their voyage to Plymouth in 1621.*

Freestone-Raithbeck-Thew
Contributed by G. Andrews Mokiarty, Jr., A.M., LL.B., of Newport, R. I., and communicated by the Committee on English Research
According to the records of the First Church of Boston, Mass., Ann and Frances Freestone, "kinswomen of our brother, William Hutchinson," were admitted to the church on 9, 9 mo., and 28, 10 mo., 1634, respectively. In Lechford's Note-Book (pp. 327-328 of the printed book) is the following entry, placed immediately after an entry dated 26 Oct. 1640:
EUzabeth Freestone late of Alford in the Coimty of Lincolne and now of Boston in New England spinster daughter of Richard Freeston late of Horn- castle in the County of Lincolne aforesaid wollendraper deceased makes a letter of Attorney to John Hutchinson of Alford aforesaid wollendraper to receive & recover 40' of Mary Freeston of Thimbleby in the said County widdow & Executrix of the last will & testament of Robert Freeston my uncle who was executor of the last will & testament of Robert Freeston my grand- father one of the Executors of the last will & testament of my said father and 61 138 4<i dividend part belonging to me by reason of the Death of my sister Mary and 5' of Nathaniell Cuthbert of Warmington in the County of Northampton Executor of the last will & testament of my grandmother Mary Cuthbert given me by her will.
In the Essex Institvie Historical Collections, vol. 48, pp. 265-268 (July, 1912), the contributor of this article, in an account of the early generations of the Turner family of Salem, Mass., showed that Ann, Frances, and Ehzabeth Freestone were sisters, and from infor- mation derived from English records and " Lincolnshire Pedigrees " * explained the genealogical statements contained in the entry in Lech- ford's Note-Book and set forth the English ancestry of the Freestone sisters and their exact relationship to the Hutchinsons. Frances Freestone became the first wife of Valentine Hill of Boston, and Ehzabeth Freestone married Robert Turner of Boston. In the present article are given abstracts of Enghsh wills and entries found in English parish registers that confirm and supplement what has already been pubhshed about the EngUsh ancestry and connections of the three Freestone sisters.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
By Alfred Johnson, A.M., Litt.D., Recording Secretary
Boston, Massachiisetts, 3 October 1917. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 P.M., Vice-President Chase presiding.
In the absence of the Recording Secretarj', Henry Edwards Scott was authorized to act in his place.
The minutes of the May meeting were approved, and the reports of the Corre- sponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the Council reporting the names of fifty-two persona who had been elected resident members.
An election by ballot to fill the vacancy existing in the office of Vice-President for Massachusetts being in order, the Chair appointed Walter Kendall Watkins, George Beckwith Stevens, M.D., and Mrs. Ida Louise Farr Miller as tellers to distribute, receive, and count the ballots and to report to the Society at a later stage in the meeting.
The Chair then presented as the speaker of the afternoon Hon. Howard Ran- dolph Bayne, M.A., LL.B., of New York City, who addressed the Society on The Origin and Application of the Monroe Doctrine.
Beginning with a short sketch of the life and career of President Monroe, Senator Bayne set forth the important historic events which led up to the poUcy propounded by Monroe in his famous message to Congress. The significance of the principles laid down in this message was pointed out, and in conclusion a number of instances were cited in which the Monroe Doctrine was effectively applied by later presidents.
After some remarks by Mr. James H. Stark in reference to President Cleve- land's appU cation of the Monroe Doctrine in the Venezuelan bovmdary dispute in 1895^ a vote of thanks to Senator Bayne for his clear, interesting, and scholarly exposition of the Monroe Doctrine was unanimously adopted.
Vice-President Chase then called Mr. Scott to the chair, and the report of the tellers was presented. In accordance with this report the Chair announced the election of John Carroll Chase as Vice-President for Massachusetts.
Vice-President Chase, on resuming the chair, thanked the Society for the honor conferred in electing him Vice-President for Massachusetts, and then, no further business being presented, declared the meeting dissolved.
After the meeting the usual social hour followed.
7 November. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash- burton Place, at 2.30 P.M., President Baxter presiding.
In the absence of the Recording Secretary, Henry Edwards Scott was ap- pointed Recording Secretary pro tempore.
The minutes of the October meeting were approved, and the reports of the Corresponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the Council reporting the names of three persons who had been elected resident members.
By ballot the following were elected members of the Nominating Committee: Lawrence Brainerd, George Walter Chamberlain, Miss Idelle Keyes, George Sawin Stewart, and Mrs. Susan Cotton Tufts.
President Baxter then presented as the speaker of the afternoon Mr. Henry Collins Brown of New York City, who exhibited, in connection with his subject, A Ni^ht with John Pintard in Old New York, an interesting series of pictures showing the contrast between old New York and the New York of to-day.
Vice-President Chase moved that the thanks of the Society be extended to the speaker, and after remarks by Mr. James H. Stark, who seconded this motion, and by Mrs. Sara W. Lee-Mortimer, the motion was adopted by a unanimous vote.
At 3.35 P.M. the President declared the meeting dissolved.
5 December. A stated meeting of the Society was held in WUder Hall, 9 Ash- burton Place, at 2.30 P.M., Vice-President Chase presiding.
The minutes of the November meeting were approved, and the reports of the
1918] Notes 77
Corresponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the Council reporting the names of two persons who had been elected resident members.
The report of the Nominating Committee was read and accepted, and the Committee was discharged.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Charles Sherburne Penhallow and Charles Ed- ward Lord as auditors to audit the accounts of the Treasurer for the current year, and announced that the President of the Society had appointed Hon. James Parker Parmenter as Chairman of the Special Committee on Revision of the By-Laws, vice Charles Sidney Ensign, deceased, and Sapuel Mitchell Child as a member of the same committee.
Vice-President Chase then presented as the speaker of the afternoon Lieut. Robert Archer Bowlby, of the Canadian Grenadiers, who had recently returned from active service at the front.
Lieutenant Bowlby was Ijom in Somerville, but, being in Canada at the out- break of the war, he enlisted in the Canadian forces. With an ingenuous, boyish, and direct manner, he held his audience for over an hour while he narrated per- sonal experiences and visualized the life of the average American youth crossing the seas to fight for his country. Interspersed with anecdotes of trench life were statements of serious facts which revealed a keen discernment of the larger issues of the war. Frequent applause accompanied his remarks, and on motion of Judge Henry N. Blake a vote of thanks was adopted.
After questions had been asked from the floor, at 4.15 P.M. the Chair declared the meeting dissolved.
NOTES
It having oorae to the attention of this Society that certain genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society in connection -with their o^vn enterprises, the Society again de- sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this country or in England, nor is it in any "way connected with any publications other than those that it issues over its ovrn name at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
Leavenworth. — A private graveyard was once in existence on Good Hill in Roxbury, Conn., near the Woodbury town line, on the road leading to "Tophet." It was established in 1805 (Roxbury Deeds, vol. 2, p. 538) by EHhu Leavenworth, who for this purpose conveyed a comer of his farm to Capt. David Leavenworth, Gideon Leavenworth, Morse Leavenworth, Thomas Beardslee, Ephraim Beards- lee, and Samuel Thompson, reserving one seventh of the lot to himself. About forty years ago the EUhu Leavenworth farm, adjoining the graveyard, came into possession of a man who resided there until recently, when it was again trans- ferred. The present owner found the graveyard imder cultivation, the only indication that it had been used as a burial ground being gravestones which had been thrown alongside the wall. Other stones and fragments were found in the cellar, where they were used as table tops and as props for a stove.
The Beardslee stones were removed several years ago to the modem cemetery in Roxbury, so that all but one of those still remaining on Good Hill are Leaven- worth stones. The facts derived from the records still decipherable are given below, the words in brackets having been supplied by the contributor.

The Leavenworth Genealogy (followed therein by later publications) states that Thomas* Leavenworth, son of Thomas* and Grace, married Mary Jenkins, daughter of David, basing the assertion on the fact that Thomas* called David Jenkins his father-in-law. This is erroneous. Grace, widow of Thomas* Leaven- worth, married secondly David Jenkins, as surmised by Cothren (History of Wood- bury). Thomas* Leavenworth married Mary^Dorman, bom 12 May 1680, daughter of Edmimd and Hannah (Hull) of New Haven, Corm. In the settle- ment of the estate of Edmimd Dorman in 1711 his daughter Mary is called wife of Thomas Levensworth of Stratford. It is Ukely that Mary Dorman was mother of all the children of Thomas, since the youngest was named Edmund, and the son Thomas' named a son Dorman.
John» Leavenworth, son of Thomas* and Mary (Dorman), married first Deb- orah Moss, bom 10 Feb. 1714/15. They were parents of the Capt. David and grandparents of the Morse Leavenworth whose gravestone inscriptions are given above. The Leavenworth Genealogy gives Deborah's maiden name as Hurd instead of Moss.
The same pubhcation assumes that John* Leavenworth, the only other son (besides Thomas*) of Thomas* and Grace, left no issue. John removed from Stratford, Conn., to Newtown, Conn., married Phebe Wooster of Derby, Conn., (see New Haven Probate Records and Derby Deeds), and died in Feb. 1762. In his will he mentioned wife Phebe, son Thomas, and daughters Alice Camp, Sarah Botsford, and Abigail Tumer; also son Lemuel Camp and grandsons Jabez Botsford and Jeremiah Tumer, Jr. (Danbury Probate Records, vol. 1, p. 229.)

Historical Intelligence
Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplenient, pp. xyi-xxiii), "that every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the arms for record with this Society," etc.
The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earaestly request all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which they beheve to be eligible to make appUcation for recording them. The cost of painting the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap- plicants, and the Committee has determined that $3.00 for each coat will barely suffice.
This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded with the application. If the appUcation is rejected the money will be returned unless the appHcant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof. The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any appUcation altogether, and if this right is exercised, the money wiU, of course, be returned.

It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases in size, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals, manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applica- tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further proof.
Printed directions for the making of applica.tions may be obtained from the Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash- burton Place, Boston.
Sherman. — Thomas Townsend Sherman, Esq., of 60 Wall Street, New York City, has compiled a genealogy of the Sherman family, beginning with Thomas Sherman of Diss, co. Norfolk, England, who died in 1493, and including many of his descendants in England for several generations. The American famiUes given in this work are descendants of the immigrants Samuel Sherman, Rev. John Sherman, and Capt. John Sherman of Watertown, Mass. The book will soon be published by Tobias A. Wright of New York City.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own famihes and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated, especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad- uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.
Atherton. — Joshua, bom at Harvard, Mass., 20 June 1737, died at Amherst, N. H., in Apr. 1809, by Miss Anne Middleton Means, 248 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Mass.

' ■ By La WHENCE Brajnebd of Cambridge, Mass. r *
Henry Deering, elected to resident membership in the New England Historic Genealogical Society in 1877, made a life member in 1894, and for the years 1913-1917 Vice-President of the Society for Maine, passed away at his family residence, famiharly known as "Deering Mansion," in Portland, Me., on the morning of 19 August 1917. He was born at Portland 29 September 1842, the son of Nathaniel and Anna Margaret (Holwell) Deering.
In the death of Mr. Peering Portland lost one of its most con- spicuous citizens, whose broad humanitarian interests and varied activities as a lawyer, man of affairs, trustee of public institutions, philanthropist, antiquarian, and art connoisseur had placed him in the front rank of the city's native sons.
The Deering family of Mkine has the somewhat unusual distinction of having maintained for nearly three centuries its residence in sub- stantially the same locality in which the first American ancestor of the name made his original settlement; and for nearly two centuries the members of this farmly have been prominently identified with Portland as leaders in the business, intellectual, and social life of that city. ', , ,. ' , . ;
The immigrant ancestor of this family, George^ Deering, a native of England, came to America in 1635 and settled as a planter on Richmond Island, off the coast of Cape Elizabeth, in Maine. For several years he was employed by Robert Trelawney, who main- tained, under Capt. John Winter, a flourishing fishing and trading post at Richmond Island. Later he removed to Scarborough, Me.
His son, Roger^ Deering, who was born at Scarborough, and died at Kittery, Me., in 1676, was a substantial citizen and successful ship- wright.
Clement' Deering, son of Roger, married, in 1678, Joan, daughter of John Bray (an eminent shipbuilder of Kittery) and maternal aunt of Lieut.-Gen. Sir William Pepperrell, Bart., and died in 1701.
Capt. John* Deering (1680-1712), a mariner of Kittery, married Temperance, daughter of Capt. William and Elizabeth (Langdon) Fernald and granddaughter of Dr. Reginald Fernald, who was surgeon in Capt. John Mason's company in 1631. VOL. Lxxn. 6
84 Henry Deering [April
Capt. John^ Deering (1710-1758) of Kittery commanded the vessels of his father's cousin, Sir William Pepperrell, and married Anna, daughter of Nicholas Dunn, Esq., of Boston.
Gapt. Nathaniel Deermg (1736-1795), great-grandfather of Henry Deering, in his early manhood removed from Kittery to Portland, estabhshing himself there in business with his stepfather, Capt. and Dea. James Milk, whose daughter, Dorcas Milk, he subsequently married. At the death of Captain Milk in 1772 Nathaniel Deering, both as stepson and as son-in-law, came into a large share of his handsome estate, a portion of which was an extensive and valuable tract of land lying between Middle Street and Exchange Street and extending from Middle Street to the low-water mark. By his pur- chases of other tracts of land in different parts of the city and his innate business sagacity he laid securely the foundation of the present Deering estate. Among these purchases was the beautiful grove of oaks, later given to the city of Portland by the Deering heirs and immortahzed by Longfellow's poem, "My Lost Youth." Nathaniel Deering was an ardent patriot, and in 1776 he bought and equipped the ship Fox as- a privateer, letters of marque and reprisal having been granted to him by Gov. John Hancock. In February 1777 he was commissioned a captain in Colonel Noyes's regiment by the Massa- chusetts Council. Captain Deering was survived by two children, his son James and his daughter Mary, the latter becoming the wife of Commodore Edward Preble, U. S. N., the hero of Tripoh.
James^ Deering (1766-1850), a merchant prince of Portland, the grandfather of Henry Deering, was educated at the famous Dummer Academy in Byfield, Mass., and on reaching his majority entered upon a mercantile career of marked distinction. He was one of the original incorporators and first directors of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Raikoad and the largest subscriber in Portland to this successful enterprise. In 1804 he erected on his farm in Westbrook, Me., "Deering Mansion," now the residence of his great,-grandson, Edward Deering Noyes, Esq.; and in his honor the town of Deering, Me., for some years a separate municipahty, was named. His wife was Almira, daughter of Hon. Enoch Ilsley, a noted merchant and a member of the Committee of Correspondence and Inspection for Portland during the Revolutionary War. James Deering was sur- vived by one son, Nathaniel, and by several daughters, two of whom, Dorcas and Ellen, married respiectively Hon. Thomas Amory De- blois, LL.D., and United States Senator Wilham Pitt Fessenden.
NathanieP Deering, A.M., lawyer and Utterateur, was born at Portland 25 June 1791, and was graduated with honors at Harvard in the Class of 1810. His legal studies were pursued under Hon. Ezekiel Whitman, afterwards Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Mame, and in 1815 he was admitted to the Maine bar. He practised law with success till 1836, when he abandoned that profession for litera- ture, in which he had already gained a standing in that early circle of American men of letters composed of Willis, Mellen, Percival, and Neal. He was the author of " Carrabasset," a tragedy in five acts, founded on the massacre of Father Rasle, and of the well-known comedy "Clairvoyants," both of which were successfully staged m

Boston and other American cities. In 1851 appeared his tragedy "Bozzaris," the most carefully written of his productions, which received the flattering approbation of the best critics of that period. Possessed of an ample fortune, Mr. Deering was able to devote his time to the enjoyment of his scholarly inclinations, and the more mature years of his life were so employed. He died in the spring of 1881, in his ninetieth year. He married at Portland, 4 October 1824, Anna Margaret Holwell,* and from this union came the subject of this memoir, Henry* Deering, the eighth in a family of nine children.
Henry Deering had the advantage of an academic and classical education under private tutors in his own home. Reaching his majority when the Nation was in the midst of the dark days of the Civil War, young Deering, with patriotic zeal, entered the service of his country as paymaster's clerk in the United States Navy, and served for the period 1863-64. After the War he studied law, was admitted to the Cumberland County bar in June 1870, and for over forty-seven years was engaged in the practice of his profession, com- bining the same with the exacting duties involved in the management of his large property interests and in the unselfish discharge of the requirements which were incumbent upon him as a trustee and director of various benevolent and literary institutions.
Mr. Deering joined the Maine Historical Society in 1877, sub- sequently became a life member of the same, and for many years served on the standing committee of this organization. This society is largely indebted to him for most intelligent service and many material benefactions, including two large portraits in oil (reproduced from the originals) of Sir WilHam Phipps and Sir William Pepperrell and a canvas from life of Isaac Hsley.
The success of the restoration of the Longfellow House, maintained by this society, owes much to Mr. Deering's enthusiastic labors. To this now-familiar shrine of historic and Kterary interest, annually visited by thousands of tourists, he was most devoted, visiting it daily and bringing each summer morning, for the adornment of the rooms, a profusion of floral bloom from his own gardens.
Mr. Deering was a life trustee of the Portland Public Library and a member of the boards of management of the Maine Genealogical Society, the Portland Society of Art, and the First Parish (Unitarian) Church, of which he had been a member of long standing. He found time for the exercise of literary tastes, and his love and appreciation of literature and art were conspicuously ardent and most intelligently
• Anna Margaret (Holwell) Deering, the mother of the subject of this memoir, was born at Belise, British Honduras, 5 November 1805, and was descended from a dis- tinguished family, the Holwells of Holwell House, Tavistock, Devonshire, England. She was the daughter of Maj. John Zephaniah Holwell (1775-1813), Royal Army, by his wife Martha, daughter of William Jackson, an American merchant who resided for many years at Belize. Her grandfather was Lieut.-Col. James Holwell (1747-1807), Royal Army, whose wife was Hester, daughter of Thomas Heywood, Esq., Speaker of the House of Keys of the Isle of Man. Her great-grandfather was Gov. John Zeph- aniah Holwell (1711-1798), M.D., of Bengal, British India, one of the twenty-three survivors of the horrors of the Black Hole of Calcutta (1756), that most dramatic incident in the history of the British dominion in India. Governor Holwell, whose portrait was executed by Sir Joshua Reynolds, was the grandson of John Holwell (1649-1686), who occupied the post of Astronomer Royal and surveyor of crown lands and was distinguished as a mathematical author and scientist. Biographies of members of the Holwell family may be found in the Dictionary of National Biography.

discriminating. In recognition of these accomplishments the Board of Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College conferred uppn him in 1908 the honorary degree of Master of Arts.
He was one of the charter members of the Maine Society of Colonial Wars, and had served as its genealogist for eighteen years. His eligibility to this society was derived from a score of notable pro- genitors, among whom may be mentioned Hon. Ambrose Gibbons, Judge Henry Sherburne, Gov. Tristram Cofiinj, Surgeon Reginald Fernald, Capt. Thomas Bradbury, and Capt. Stephen Greenleaf. He also enjoyed membership in the historic Order of the Cincinnati, as the representative of his great-grandfather, Capt. Nathaniel Deering, and he was enrolled as a member of the Maine Society of the Sons of the American. Revolution. He was also a member of the Cumberland Club of Portland and of the Union Club of Boston.
Mr. Deering's strong personality and strict integrity won him respect and admiration in the professional and business world, and his broad culture, his natural conversational powers, and his savoir- vivre made him ever a delightful companion and friend and a thrice- welcome guest at social gatherings.
To him the poet's allusion in the prelude to "Tales of a Wayside Inn" may be most aptly appUed:
" A man of such a genial mood The heart of all things he embraced, And yet of such fastidious taste. He never found the best too good."
The pubhc bequests in Mr. Deering's will were to the Maine General Hospjtal, the Portland Public Library, and the Maine His- torical Society. The bequest of $3000 to the Maine General Hospi- tal is to be known as the Anna Margaret Holwell Deering Fund, in memory of his mother. The money is to be invested and the income used for the support of a district nurse, who will work among the poor of Portland. The bequest of $1000 to the Portland Library is to be known as the Deering Fund, the income of which is to be ex- pended in the ptirchase of books of permanent value. The income of $1000 given to the Historical Society is intended for the purchase of EngUsh parish registers, .town and county histories, and books of value to historians and genealogists. By the terms of his will sub- stantial bequests also were provided for his immediate relatives' and for family servants.
Mr. Deering is survived by one sister, Mrs. Marion (Deering) Noyes of Portland, widow of Col. George Freeman Noyes, U. S. Volunteers, by a niece, Mrs. Margaret Deering (Gilman) Bursley, daughter of the late Pay Director Augustus Henry Gilman, U. S. Navy, and his wife, Margaret (Deering) Gilman, and by four nephews, Edward Deering Noyes, Ilsley Noyes, George Freeman Noyes, and Wadsworth Noyes.

THE ENGLISH HOME AND ANCESTRY
OF
JOHN GROSVENOR OF ROXBURY,. MASS.
By Daniel Kent, B.A., of Worcester, Mass.
In the Old burying ground at the corner of Washington and Eustis Streets in Roxbury (now a part of Boston), Mass., on the right of the entrance gate and not far distant, near the wall on the Eustis Street side, stands a dark slate stone in a good state of preservation, on which is inscribed :
Here Lyeth Buried ye Body of : lohn Grosuenor who Deed Septe^i ye
27th in ye 49 Year of his Age 1691
On this stone is cut a coat of arms, the garb in the dexter quartering
and the crest, a talbot statant on a wreath, pointing apparently to a
connection with the ancient Grosvenor family of co. Chester, England.*
The family tradition that John Grosvenor of Roxbury, Mass., came from Chester, where he married Esther Clarke, an heiress, has been accepted as an estabhshed fact. Most pubhshed genealogical sketches of him state that he was a son of Sir Richard Grosvenor, Bart.; but this cannot be true, as Sir Richard, the first baronet, who died 14 Sept. 1645, left only one surviving son, Sir Richard, the second baronet. This second Sir Richard, who died 31 Jan. 1664/5, had five sons, of whom all except Roger, the eldest, died unmarried.
• The well-known family of the Grosvenors, of which the Duke of Westminster, of Eton Hall, co. Chester, is at present the most prominent member, claims descent from Norman lords who in the tenth century held a barony at Venables in the Duchy of Normandy, about thirty miles from Rouen, on the road to Paris. Hugh Lupus came into England with the Conqueror and was made Count Palatine of Chester. With him, it is said, came his nephew, the ancestor of the later Grosvenors, Gilbert le Veneur (the Huntsman), who, with others of the family, received large estates in Cheshire. The appellation le Veneur was taken from the office of huntsman (in Latin venator) to the Dukes of Normandy, which was hereditary in this family before the Norman Conquest of England. The name Grosvenor, which, according to Ormerod, the his- torian of Cheshire, is not found before 1260, is said to be derived from the title le Grand Veneur, which appears in various forms, such as le Graunt Venur, GraurUvenour, le Groa Venour, le Grosvenour, le Gravenor, and finally Grosvenor. Pedigrees of the various branches of the family may be found in the English Visitations, and much information is given in Ormerod's History of Cheshire. The Grosvenor arms were: Azure, a garb or. Various signs for diEferp nee distinguished the various branches of the family.

132 English Home and Ancestry of John Grosvenor [April
The writer of this article has made an exhaustive search of the Grosvenor records in England. Having become convinced, by research and by correspondence with the Duke of Westminster, the Rector of Eton Hall, co. Chester, and the Secretary of the Lancashu;e and Cheshire Historical Society, that John Grosvenor, the immi- grant ancestor of the family in New England, did not come directly from the Chester family, he turned his attention to the branches of this family scattered throughout England. Guided by the coat of arms on the gravestone at Roxbury, he decided that John Grosvenor must have come from Shropshire; and his labors were rewarded by finding in St. Leonard's Church, at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, the record of John Grosvenor 's baptism. At the College of Arms in London he found a pedigree of the Grosvenors of Bridgnorth, certified in 1663 by Leicester Grosvenor, the eldest brother of John of Roxbury, which was respited "to make proof e of the Descent from the Grosvenours of Eton in Cheshire," but "nothing [was] done therein." This pedigree, a copy of which is given in this article, enabled the writer to go back to the grandfather of John of Roxbury; and the wills of the grandfather and father of the immigrant, abstracts of which are given below, as well as entries in the registers of the parish of St. Leon- ard, Bridgnorth, confirm the fine given in the pedigree. The writer has not succeeded in determining the connection of the Grosvenors of Bridgnorth with the Chester family; but that John Grosvenor of Roxbury was descended from that family there can be Httle
doubt. P -o -J i.u
The EngUsh records relating to the Grosvenors of Bridgnorth

From the foregoing and a few other EngUsh records and from various New England sources the following Grosvenor'*^ pedigree has been compiled:
1. Grosvenor. t
Children (order of births unknown) :
2. i. William.
ii. Roger, of Coventry, co. Warwick, living in 1599, when lie was
mentioned in the will of his brother William, iii. Joyce, living in 1599, when she was mentioned in the will of her
brother Wilham.
2. William Grosvenor, of Bridgnorth, co. Salop, Gent., the tes-
tator of 1599, was buried in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridg- north, 17 Jan. 1599/1600. t He married in that parish, 16 Nov. 1590, Ursula Blunt, § who married secondly, in the same parish, 4 June 1600, John Davies (or Davis) and was living, as the wife of John Davis, 22 Nov. 1604, when her second husband proved the will of her first husband.
Children, baptized in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridg- north :
3. i. William, bapt. 18 Dec. 1593.
* In the early records this surname often appears in the forms Gravener and
Gravenor. , ., , , • i • ^^ ■ i_ r
t Perhaps the WiUiam Gravener, "Hon'* Gen., who was buned m the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, co. Salop, 30 Oct. 1589, was identical with No. 1 of this pedigree; and the Margaret Gravenor who was buried in that parish 5 Oct. 158.'i may- have been his wife. The Barbara Gravenor who was buried in the same parish 18 Mar. 1613/14 was perhaps a sister of the William who was buried there in 1589. In the same parish William Peat and Johoanc Gravener were married 26 June 1592, and Hugh Gravener and Joane Streete were married 11 Dec. 1593; but the connection of these Graveners with the family described in this article is unknown.
X The Church of St. Leonard, founded in the tenth or eleventh centuries stands in a close near High Street, Bridgnorth, which is surrounded by buildings of Elizabethan or Jacobean date. Its fine old stained glass and its tombs were destroyed during the siege of Bridgnorth by Cromwell in 1646. But in more recent years the church has been restored, and is worthy of the ancient town that it adorns. The original church was built mainly in the style of the thirteenth century, though its handsome tower, of salmon-red sandstone, is of a somewhat later style. A fine open-timbered roof was brought to light during the restoration. The nave is remarkable for its exceptional width, and in this respect the church is exceeded by no other parish church in England and by only three cathedrals. • icc-j *i •<• ^f
§ In the pedigree entered by Leicester Grosvenor, her grandson, in 1663, the wale ol WUliam Grosvenor (2) is called "daughter of Cruck of Cruckhall in Bridgnorth. The marriage record in the registers of the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, calls her "Ursula Blunt." In 1404 Sir Nicholas Blunt or Blount, who had been involved in a plot for the restoration of King Richard II, changed his name to Croka, in order to escape punishment from Henry IV; and his descendants appear sometimes under the name of Crokc or Cruke and sometimes under the name of Blunt or Blount. In the registers of the parish of St. Leonard both names are found for this family. Members of the Blount family played important parts in English history, bir Walter B.ount, a supporter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and of his son, King Henry IV^.vas slain by Archibald, Eari of Douglas, at the Battle of Shrewsbury, 23 July 1403. He is a prominent character in Shakspere's King Henry IV. Part I. He married Donna Sancha de Aydla, a Spanish lady of high rank, and in the reign of Edward IV their grandson became the first Baron Mountjoy and was Lord High Treasurer of England. WiUiam Blount, the fourth Baron Mountjoy. a grandson of the first Baron Mountjoy. was a patron and friend of Erasmus. Mrs. Anne (Marbury) Hutchinson, so famous in the early history of New England, was a descendant of Sir Walter Blount and his wafe. Donna Sancha de Aydla, and several New England families may trace their ancestry, through the Marbury family, to this Shaksperean knight and his Spanish consort. For the Blount family see pedigrees in various English Visitations, articles in the Dictionary of National Biography, and Sir Alexander Croko's Genealogical History of the Croke Family, surnamed Le Blount.

ii. Margaret (or Margery), bapt. 16 May 159G; m. John Hord of Hord Park, co. Salop.*
3. William Grosvenor {William), of Bridgnorth, co. Salop, Gent., the testator of 1652, was baptized in the parish of St. Leonard. Bridgnorth, 18 Dec. 1593, and was buried in the same parish 21 June 1652. He married, probably about 1625, Susanna Paston,! who was buried in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, 20 June 1667, daughter of Rev. George, Rector of Drayton-Bassett, co. Stafford, who was buried 10 Jan. 1629/30. William Grosvenor's messuage at Bridgnorth was called "The Friars," and was near the site of the present carpet works in the lower town of Bridgnorth. t He was a churchwarden of St. Leonard's Church in 1635, and was a Royalist in the Civil War.
Children:! i. Susanna, b. probably abt. 1626; living uiim. 27 May 1652, when she was mentioned in her father's will; not mentioned in the pedigree of 1663.
4. ii. Leicester, eldest son, b. abt. 1627.
iii. Mary, b. probably abt. 1628; hving 27 May 1652, when she was
mentioned in her father's will; m. before that date Edward
Harrison of Bridgnorth, iv. Lettice, b. probably abt. 1630; d. in 1690, aged 60; m. before
27 May 1652, when she was mentioned, with her dau. Lettice, in
her father's will, Thomas LE\^NGE of Sheepy, co. Leicester.!! V. Gerald (or Gerrard), second son, b. probably abt. 1631; bur. in
the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, 27 June 1671. vi. Grace, b. probably abt. 1632; m. after 27 May 1652 Daniel
BiLLiNGSLEY of Bridgnorth, vii. William, third son, bapt. in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth,
17 Apr. 1634; bur. in the same parish 3 Feb. 1672/3 viii. Jane, bapt. in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, 26 July 1636;
m. after 27 May 1652 Francis Bayley of Bridgnorth.
5. ix. John, fourth son, bapt. in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth,
2 Jan. 1640/1; probably the emigrant to New England.il
♦ Perhaps she had been married previously to her marriage to John Hord, for the marriage of Richard Phillips and Margere Gravenor, 2 June 1630, is recorded in the registers of the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth.
t Perhaps she was his second wife, for the marriage of a William Gravenor and Anne Baskerfield, 28 Nov. 1624, is recorded in the registers of the parish of St. Leonard,
Bridgnorth. , . , , , . c 2.u r^
X The name of the messuage may have been derived from the priory of the Lrrey Friars that existed in Bridgnorth before the dissolution of the monasteries in the reign
of Henry VIII. ^ . . l ^ i. v. *-!,„
5 The names of the children of William Grosvenor are given m what seems to be the most probable order. The order of births of the four sons is given in the pedigree entered in 1663, and Leicester, the eldest son, is said in this pedigree to have been .-ib years old at that time. The baptisms of the sons William and John and the daughter Jane are recorded in the registers of the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth. In his will of 1652 William Grosvenor apparently mentions first his unmarried daughters m the order of their births and then his married daughters in the order of their births. The pedigree of 1663 gives the daughters (except Susanna, who does not appear there) in this order: Mary, Lettice, Grace, Jane. , , . ^
II If this Lettice Grosvenor was born about 1630, she was, of course, too young to have been the Lettice Gravenour whose marriage to John Wood, 19 Oct. 1641, is recorded in the registers of St. Leonard's, Bridgnorth. .u x i, j- j
*i Since the gravestone of John Grosvenor of Roxbury, Mass., states that he died 27 Sept 1091, in his 49th year, and since the John Grosvenor who was baptized at Bridgnorth 2 Jan. 1040/1 would have been in his 51st year in Sept. 1691, it is possible that the John who was baptized 2 Jan. 1040/1 died in infancy, and that another son was born about two years later, who was named John and became the emigrant to New England. It is more likely, however, that the gravestone at Roxbury gives the

4. Leicester Grosvenor {Williani, Williajn), of The Friars, Bridgnorth, co. Salop, Gent., eldest son of his father, was born about 1627 (since in the pedigree entered by him in 16G3 he declared that he was 3G years of age on 14 Aug. 1663), and was buried in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, 14 May 1690. Administration on his estate was granted, 7 Oct. 1690, to Eleanor, his widow. He married, probably about 1652, Eleanor Eastwicke (or Estwicke), who was buried in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, 26 Nov. 1708, eldest daughter of Christopher and Eleanor (Walden) of Stoke, co. Warwick, Eleanor Walden being daughter of Isaac of Coven- try, CO. Warwick. In 1663 he entered a pedigree of his family that went back as far as liis grandfather, William Grosvenor; but this pedigree was respited in order that descent from the Grosvenors of Eton, co. Chester, might be proved, and notliing further was done in the matter. When Leicester Grosvenor died in 1690, all his sons and all his brothers except John were dead; and therefore his only surviving brother, John Grosvenor, then residing in New England, became the head of this branch of the Grosvenor family. Children:
i. Leicester, d. young; bur. in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth.
24 Sept. 1655. ii. Christopher, bapt. in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth,
8 Aug. 1655; bur. in the same parish 17 Sept. 1655. iii. Eleanor, b. abt. 1658, since she was 4 years of age on 14 Aug. 1663. iv. Susanna, d. young before 14 Aug. 1663. V. William, bapt. in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, 19 Mar.
1662/3 [sic, ? 1661/2); probably d. between 14 Aug. and 20 Sept.
1663. vi. William, bapt. in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, 20 Sept.
1663; d. before 14 May 1690. vLi. Eastwicke, bapt. in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, 4 Mar.
1666/7; bur. in the same parish 18 Mar. 1669/70.
5. John Grosvenor {William, William), of Roxbury, Mass., tanner, baptized in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, co. Salop, 2 Jan. 1640/1, emigrated to New England probably about 1670, a few years after the death of his mother, and settled at Roxbury, Mass., where he died 27 Sept. 1691, being then, according to his gravestone, in the 49th year of his age.* He married, probably about 1672, Hester (or Esther) Clarke, born, probably at Watertown, Mass., about 1651, died at Pomfret, Conn., 15 June 1738, aged about 87 years,t daughter of Hugh and Ehzabeth.f

On 14 Mar. 1672 [1672/3] John Grosvener was one of the witnesses to a deed in Roxbury.* The Roxbury records show that on 13th, 2 mo., 1673, Esther Gravener was excommuni- cated, but that on 2d, 9 mo., 1673, she was reconciled to the church and solemnly owned the covenant. On 28 Jan. 1684 [1684/5] John Grosvenor's father-in-law, Hugh Clarke of Roxbury, confirmed to him by deed a grant made about 1672 of the land on which John Grosvenor's house stood and the land on which his tanyard and tan house stood, a portion of the deed reading as follows:
"Know Yee that the said Hugh' Clarke Sometime past about twelve or thirteene Yeares agoe or thereabout for and in considera- tion of a part of my Daughter Hester Gravencrs portion and many other good and considerable Considerations: Hath . . . granted and given possession and ... by these presents Doth . . . grant . . . and confirme unto John Gravener my Sonne in Law, and Hester Gra- vener liis wife, two Small peices of Land, the one peice of Land is that Land whereon John Graveners dwelling House now Standeth being in Roxbury, and as it is now fenced from the land of Hugh Clarke, and abutting on the Highway Leadeing from Stony River towards Muddy River Southerly, and upon the Land of Hugh Clarke or his Successors West North, and Southeasterly. And the other Smal peice of Land lyeing neerer to the Now dwelling house of sd Hugh Clarke whereon John Gravenors Tanyard and Tan house standeth being in Roxbury and as it is now fenced from the Land of Hugh Clark or his assignes, and abutting upon the Highway leadeing from the Mill at Stony River Towards Muddy River Southerly, and upon the Land of Hugh Clarke Southwest and easterly with all_ and Singular the appurtenances and priviledges thereunto belonging." (Suffolk Deeds, Ub. 13, fo. 328.)t
Drake in his "Town of Roxbury " (p. 323) says that John Grosvenor's dwelling house and four acres of orchard and pasture were on the northeasterly corner of the present Tremont and Parker Streets. He was the first person to carry on the trade of a tanner in Roxbury, a town later noted for its tanneries. In the seventeenth century, along the valley of the River Severn in England, from Shrewsbury down to Worcester, the tanning industry was very important, and Bridgnorth was famed for its tanneries and for the quaUty of the leather produced there. It is probable, therefore, that John Grosvenor, one of the younger sons of the family, learned his trade there. In 1678 the town of Roxbury granted to him a lot of land "at the bridge and old mill . . . for hming leather in fee, and not to sell but for such use, and to be forfeit if it damage the water for cattle or man." (lb., p. 324.) He also held at Roxbury "the responsible office of town constable, then of great dignity and importance." (76., p. 102.)
John Grosvenor was one of the six original purchasers from Maj. James Fitch, 1 May 1686, of the Mashamoquet grant
* Suffolk Deeds, lib. 9, fo. 140. , t^ , . r.

of 15,100 acres, which included the territory of the present towns of Pomfret, Brooklyn, and Putnam, and the p'arish of Abington, Conn. It is said that he was sent by the pro- prietors to Norwich, Conn., to pay to Major Fitch the pur- chase money. On 6 May 1686 the original grantees named six other associates.* These twelve proprietors were all resi- dents of Roxbury, Mass., aiid on 9 Mar. 1686/7 they met to consult about the settlement of their purchase. The consent of Major Fitch to any arrangement that they might make being judged necessary, they voted that their "truely and beloved friends, Samuel Ruggles, Sen. and Jun., John White, Samuel Gore and John Grosvenor," were authorized "to treat with Major Fitch in and concerning all matters relating to said lands." On 7 Apr. these men reported that half of the land was to be laid out at once. Before the division was effected, however, Andros assumed the government of Con- necticut and it seemed best to defer action. The survey ancj division were accomplished at last during the winter of 1693/4, and on 27 Mar. 1694, nearly eight years after the purchase, the proprietors met in Roxbury to receive their respective shares. John Grosvenor had died in 1691, but he was represented by his widow, who received the first allot- ment. It consisted of 502 acres, and comprised the land where the village of Pomfret now stands and the hills which surround it, including Prospect Hill, which faces the east, and the commanding eminences called Sharp's Hill and Spauld- ing's Hill on the west. (Cf. Larned's History of Windham County, Connecticut, vol. 1, pp. 181-185.)
Esther Grosvenor was appointed administratrix of the estate of her deceased husband, and on 17 Feb, 1691/2 filed her bond for £700. On 16 Sept. 1695 she sold 6 acres called Rock Pasture, the "Rightful Inheritance of Hugh Clarke late of said Roxbury dec^ and by the said Esther Grosvenor pur- chased of his son John," and 3j acres, the "Rightful Inheri- tance of aforesaid John Grosvenor . . . together with Man- sion house, barn, &c." On the same day she and her son Wilham "and all other heires of the said John Grosvenner" purchased 65 acres at Muddy River, now BrookUne, Mass., together with a dwelhng house, the consideration being £312. On 7 Oct. 1695 they purchased 30 acres at Muddy River, " together with the house,fruit trees, wood," etc., the considera- tion being £150. On 15 Apr. 1701 Esther Grosvenor, Wilham Grosvenor, Gentleman, and Susannah Grosvenor of Muddy River, and John Grosvenor of " Mashamnggabuck " in New London Co., Conn., sold "their Farme Tract" at Muddy River.f About this time, probably, the Widow Esther Gros- venor went with her family to Mashamoquet in Connecticut, where she resided for the remaining years of her life. The road to Hartford and Windham passed through the Grosvenor

land, near the first Connecticut residence of the family, which was on the western declivity of Prospect Hill, near the site afterwards occupied by Col. Thomas Grosvenor's mansion house. Mrs. Grosvenor was a woman of great courage and energy, and was held in high esteem by the early settlers of Pomfret. It is a family tradition that she was skillful in tending the sick. The so-called "Sabin" house, in which she died, is still standing, and is owned by her descendants. Her sons aided in bringing the large possessions of the family under cultivation, and identified themselves early with the growth and interests of the town.

WILLIAM BROOKS OF SPRINGFIELD, MASS., AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS
By Joel Nelson Eno, A.M., of Brooklyn, N. Y.
L William^ Brook or Brooks, of Springfield,* was born in Eng- land in 1610, sailed from London for Virginia in 1635, and appeared in the Massachusetts Bay Colony as early as 1653, when he petitioned for a grant of land at Springfield. He removed from Springfield to Deerfield in 1686, and died at Deerfield 30 Oct. 1688. He married at Springfield, 18 Oct. 1654, Mary Burt, who died at Deerfield, as his widow, 30 Aug. 1689, daughter of Henry and Ulalia (Marche) of Springfield. t
The land in Springfield for which William Brooks petitioned in 1653 was granted to him 8 Feb. 1653/4; and between 1654 and 1686 various other grants of land to him are recorded at Springfield, some of the land granted lying in Chicopee Plain, on the west side of the Connecticut River, opposite the mouth of the Chicopee. Many sales also, probably necessitated by the needs of his large family, reduced his acres; but at Deerfield land was cheaper, being wild and exposed to Indian attacks. +
Children, born at Springfield:

t On 23 Dec. 1619 a marriage license was issued to Henry Burt of Harberton, co. Devon, England, and Ulalia Marche of Dean Prior in the same county. (Cf. Vivian's Marriage Licenses of the Diocese of Exeter, part 1, p. 66.) The Henry Burt of the marriage license is undoubtedly the Henry Burt who, with wife Ulalia, was at Rox- bury, Mass., in 16.'^8 and settled at Springfield about 1640.

A PLEA FOR AN AMERICAN HERALDRY
Contributed by Rev. Lefferd M. A. Hauqhwout of Ponce, Porto Rico, and communicated by the Committee on Heraldry
[In communicating the following paper the Committee on Heraldry would say that, in respect to the origin of coat armor and the significance which coats of arms possessed among Englishmen in I'udor times, Mr. Haughwout expresses views which are in close harmony -with the views expressed by the Committee in a report which it made to the Society in 1914, the recommendations of which were adopted by the Society in that year. (See Register, vol. 69, pp. xvi-xxiii.) In this report the Committee ventured to say that the frank and fearless assumption of arms which told no genealogical falsehood had much to commend it, and more than hinted at the possibihty that such a practice might some day be favored by the Society. Consequently the Committee deems Mr. Ilaughwout's suggestions well worth consideration and discussion.]
If heraldry were nothing more in essence than an appurtenance of rank and aristocracy, it would merit but scant consideration in a land vol. lxxii. 10
148 ^ Pl^ci for an American Heraldry [April
of democratic ideals. Both its history, however, and the interest which it inspires in many of our best citizens — persons whose democracy is unimpeachable — indicate that it is something more. In an Old- World environment, to be sure, it has reflected Old-World ideals and conceptions, and has adapted itself to the complex struc- ture of the body social. But the same may be said of many another institution; and it would be too much to assume that heraldry, on this account, is contrary to the genius of a democratic people.
The essential purpose of primitive heraldic devices was not the distinction of rank, but of famihes and clans, or, in case of combat, of their leaders and representatives. How true this is will be seen from a consideration of the heraldic achievement itself. The feature of prime importance in a coat of arms is, of course, the sliield, and after that the crest. But both of these are common property (with variations of a purely genealogical significance) of the whole family, and are borne by persons of widely different station. It is only in the form and position of the helmet or coronet that differences of rank are indicated. And this pertains to the "paper heraldry" of later times, and not to the institution in its prime.
Nor is it true, even in modern heraldic practice, that there is any- thing essentially aristocratic in the mere possession of a coat of arms, if we may judge from so learned an exponent of heraldic science as Mr. Arthur Fox-Davies. "No man," he says, "can demand, as a matter of right, that a grant of arms shall be made to him; but there are few people who desire to have arms and are ready to pay the fees who would meet with the refusal. . . . I have never heard of a person with a title, a member of any of the professions, a justice of the peace, or a graduate of a university, being refused a grant of arms, and . . . down to the present day, 'merchants,' under that description and without subterfuge, have continually had grants made to them." (Heraldry Explained, pp. 17-18.)
It is apparent, then, that the accident of birth bears no necessary relation to the right to display arms, even under the strict laws and usages of Enghsh heraldry. And from the preceding paragraph it is seen that the idea of rank is itself an accident and not an essential feature of the institution. Heraldry is not, in other words, incon- sistent with democratic theory; and if sufl5cient cause existed, there would be no real objection to the adoption of an heraldic system in our o%vn country.
But is there a justifying cause? To the writer's mind there is, and it is not different in kind from that which first brought heraldry into existence. Never was there greater need for emphasis upon family unity than at the present time. The great expansion of our population and the kaleidoscopic conditions of modern fife have well- nigh destroyed the old and healthful conception of the clan family. And with it have gone the ideas of family honor and the perpetuation of inherited traditions. Surnames no longer identify the family stock, and the old clans which at one time centred about ancestral homesteads are scattered the length and breadth of the land.
Here then is the justifying reason for an American heraldry — for the adoption by estabhshed famihes of such insignia as \\dll serve
1918] A Plea for aii American Heraldry 149
to identify them and emphasize their unity. Much to this end has already been accomphshed by the various historical, patriotic, and genealogical societies of the country; but the significant sj^mbohsm of the heraldic system is needed to complete and popularize their work.
It would be futile, of course, to look for the establishment by law of an institution for "granting arms," after the pattern of the heralds' colleges of Europe. Even if it were possible, it would be undesirable. If heraldry is to come to all, it must come as a natural growth, with its roots started in favoring soil. It must win its way through a slow, practical demonstration of usefulness and not by the artificial method of legal creation. Later on, it may be, the Government will see fit to regulate or protect it through an extension of the copyright law, but not until it has first demonstrated its existence. And this, indeed, is precisely the history of heraldry in the past. Family insignia were used by our ancestors before the elaborate laws of heraldry were invented. The State intervened, not to create the institution but to regulate it.
As we are not subject in this country to foreign laws, and as the idea of family insignia is older than any existing college of arms, there is no theoretical reason why any American family should not adopt an appropriate symbol. It would be far better, however, if an heraldic society were formed for registering such insignia and for the better maintenance of correct heraldic principles. This function might well be assumed, for the benefit of their members, by the patriotic societies mentioned above; or the historical and genealogical societies might undertake to register or assign arms for individuals of good standing who would file authenticated pedigrees. Nominal fees might be charged for the service, and it would be the society's especial care to see that the devices chosen conform to heraldic usage and that the rights of those already possessed of arms are not invaded.
To avoid the assignment of coats of arms to different branches of the same family, the English usage should be followed of making the grant "to the grantee and his descendants, and to the other descend- ants of any specified ancestor." Other matters of detail, no doubt, would have to be worked out, and difficulties of one kind or another might arise; but there should be nothing insuperable.
The most probable and, at first sight, most weighty objection to the plan will be advanced by those who esteem the heraldic idea most highly and who are themselves provided, it may be, with inherited coats of arms. "There is a certain idea very prevalent," says Mr. Arthur Fox-Davies, "that, whereas an ancient coat of arms is most honour- able, a modern one is a fit subject for ridicule and contempt." No one will question, of course, the desirableness of an ancient coat of arms rightfully inherited through a line of ancestors. But to assume, therefore, that no other device is worthy of respect is the height of absurdity, and would, in course of time, bring all heraldry to an end. There was a time when the oldest "coats" were new, and we can hardly think the less highly of our ancestors on that account.
And, after all, is there not much to be said for the proposition that it is better to create a new and honestly American system of oiir

own than to depend upon the precarious armorial titles which have drifted upon our shores? Some of these, but very few, are authentic enough. A much larger nmnber, four fifths of those actually claimed and displayed on American walls and stationery, are entirely fictitious. Mere identity of surname is assumed by many as sufficient basis for the use of a coat of arms, regardless of descent or the actual date of the original grant. It is not uncommon to find representatives of famihes of eight or ten honorable American generations using coats of arms which were granted in England long after their ancestors came to the Western World — and to grantees of much less distinction. Nor is this larceny of arms always the fault of the user, for many pro- fessional genealogists do not scruple to deceive their ,cUents in the interest of a fee.
That there is a growing desire in this countrj^ for family insignia, for some outward and visible token of clan unity, is indisputable. The desire itself is a healthy and honorable one, and there should be provided a legitimate mode of satisfying it. Satisfied it will be in any case, legitimately or not; and unless something is done by those in a position to deal with the matter, we may expect to see the present confusion worse confounded. The plan suggested above is eminently worthy of consideration, on the grounds both of practicabihty and of its faithfulness to the essential principles of heraldic science. A coat of arms, backed as to ''gentihty" by a good American pedigree, duly registered and proven, and bearing as an augmentation the distinguish- ing mark of some Revolutionary or Colonial society, would not fail to command respect, even in the Old-World haunts of the heraldic art, [n no other way can the use of arms in this country be vindicated as a democratic institution.
MORE BLANCHARD FAMILY RECORDS
Commumcated by William Henry Blanchard of Montpelier, Vt.
The records given below may be regarded as a supplement to the records of the family and some of the descendants of SamueP Blan- chard of Andover, Mass., which were printed in the Register, vol. 60, pages 373-376. They are preserved in a httle notebook, apparently home-made, of sixteen pages, with a paper cover, the pages being about 6j inches in height by 4 inches in width. The records are scattered over six different pages of the book, the other pages being blank, and, with the exception of the entries on the page giving the children of NathanieP Blanchard and the entry of the death of Lemuel* Blanchard, are in the handwriting of Lemuel'' Blanchard.
NathanieP Blanchard (Thomas,- Samuel- of Andover, Mass.) was born 2 Feb. 1719 [1719/20] (Register, vol. 60, p. 373). He lived in the plantation called Roadtown, which in 1761 was incor-
1918] More Blanchard Famihj Records 151
porated as the to\vn of Shutesbury, now in Franklin Co., Mass.; and his farm was conveyed to him by his father, Thomas Blanchard, in two deeds, recorded at Greenfield, Mass. The first of these deeds, dated 3 Feb. 1745 [? 1745/6], establishes the parentage of Nathaniel of Shutesbury, "Thomas Blanchard of Andover in the County of Essex and Province of Massachusetts Bay in New England yeoman " acknowledging the payment of " fifty pounds old tennar ... by my son Nathaniel Blanchard of Road town in the County of Hampshire," etc.
Lemuel* Blanchard, son of Nathaniel,' spent more than half his hfe in Shutesbury and vicinity. He married first, in 1785, Phebe ' Mayo, and after her death on 4 Mar. 1816 he went to Acworth, N. H., where his brother Joseph had settled about 1790,* stopping on the way at Westmoreland, N. H., where his brothers Isaac and Nathaniel were living. He married secondly, 17 Sept. 1818, Widow Margaret (Witherspoon) Davidson, and their daughter Betsey was born 20 June 1820. In 1832, leaving his wife and twelve-year-old daughter Betsey with one of his wife's sons, he returned to Massachusetts and lived, it is supposed, in New Salem and later in Rutland with hie daughter Miranda, who had married George King at Shutesbury in 1805. His journeys between Massachusetts and Acworth are entered in the records given below. In 1849, some nine years after the death of his second wife, he went to live at Worcester, Vt., with his daughter Betsey, who had married Phineas A. Kemp; and there he died in 1855. He is buried in Worcester near his daughter, whose grave is marked "Betsey Blanchard Kemp," his own grave being marked "Father."

Patteshall*
Contributed by William Eben Stone, A.B., of Cambridge, Mass., and communicated by the Committee on English Research
A CLUE to the English home of the Patteshall family of Maine and of Boston, Mass., was found several years ago in a marriage licence issued by the Bishop of London in 1634, an abstract of which was printed in the Publications of the Harleian Society and in the Essex Institute Historical Collections. At the request of the contributor of this article a search of the registers of the parish of St. Mary-le- Strand, London, was made by Miss EUzabeth French, and several entries referring to the Patteshall family and to the Denham family (the family to which Edmund Patteshall's wife belonged) were dis- covered. Summaries of these entries, preceded by the abstract of the marriage licence already mentioned, are given below, and are followed by a brief genealogy of Edmund Patteshall, the immigrant to New England, and his immediate descendants.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
By Henry Edwards Scott, A.B., Recording Secretary
Boston, Massachxisetis, 2 January 1918. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 P.M., Vice-President Chase presiding.
In the absence of the Recording Secretary, Henry Edwards Scott was authorized to act in his place.
The minutes of the December meeting were approved, and the reports of the Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the Council reporting the name of one person who had been elected an honorary member and the names of three persons who had been elected resident members.
The Chair announced that the President of the Society had appointed Mr. George Sawin Stewart as one of the auditors to audit the accoimts of the Treas- urer for the year 1917, in place of Mr. Charles Edward Lord, who was unable to accept the appointment tendered to him.
Vice-President Chase then presented to the Society Mr. Walter Adams of Framingham, who read a scholarly and instructive paper on John Smifi, First Minister of Framingham.
After a vote of thanks'to the speaker had been adopted, the Chair declared the meeting dissolved.
In celebration of the fifth anniversary of the first meeting of the Society in its present building, a reception with refreshments closed the afternoon.
6 February. The annual meeting of the Society was held this day, for a report of which see the Supplement to the present number of the Register.
6 March. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash- burton Place, at 2.30 P.M., President Baxter presiding.
The minutes of the annual meeting were approved, and the reports of the Correspondmg Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the Council reporting the names of five persons who had been elected resident members.
President Baxter then presented to the audience of over four hundred members and guests Miss Mary Boyle O'Reilly of Boston, who, in an address entitled One Thousand Days Back of the Front, described some of her experiences in the coun- tries devastated by war, holding the undivided attention of her hearers as she portrayed the sufferings of stricken humanity beyond the seas. Apropos of the work of this Society, Miss O'Reilly emphasized in a series of interesting anecdotes the value placed on the preservation of town and family records by those forced to abandon their homes at the approach of the invaders.
On motion of Rev. Anson Titus a vote of thanks to Miss O'Reilly was adopted, and the President declared the meeting dissolved,
• As "Elizabeth Mullineux" she shares in the distribution of her brother Robert's estate on 30 Nov. 1764, and she is probably the Mrs. Reynolds who shares in the further distribution of the same estate on 6 Aug. 1773. (Suffolk Probate Records, vol. 63, fo. 456, vol. 73, fo. 169.)*

NOTES
It having oome to the attention of this Society that certain genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society in connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de- sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any publications other than those that it issues over its own iiain« at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
Truesdale-Gilbert Records. — The records given below are found on fly- leaves at the back of an imperfect copy of a volume of sermons which came into my possession many years ago. The book states that the sermons were written by "Samuel Bolton, D.D. and Master of C. C. C." [Christ CoUege, Cambridge], and that they were "Printed by Robert Ibbitson, for Thomas Parkhurst, and are to be sold at his Shop over against the Great Conduit in Cheapside, 1656." The records are written on seven different pages, but on the first page fragments only of some of the entries remain, the page having been badly torn. On the succeed- ing pages, however, the entries, beginning with the words "Reacord of the Gilbert Family From the Year 1706," are well preserved. The records are as foOows:

[These records pertain to two related New England families. Richard Trues- dale of Boston, Mass., servant to Mr. John Cotton, was admitted to the church 27 July 1634, and was made a freeman 4 Mar. 1634/5. He became a butcher, was a deacon of the First Church, and one of the founders of the Third or Old South Church in 1669. He deposed 28 Jan. 1670/1, aged about 64 years, and died in the following December, his will, dated 9 Dec. 1669, being proved m Jan. 1671/2. He left a widow, Mary, but no children. In his will he mentioned, in addition to other relatives, his kinsman, William Gilbert; and his widow, in her will of 1672, which was proved 26 Nov. 1674, mentioned various relatives, in- cluding her cousin William Gilbert, whom she appointed sole executor of her ynH, his wife Rebcckah Gilbert, and their son William Gilbert, Jr., who was not of age. This William Gilbert, also, in a letter dated at Boston, 10 Nov. 1680, and addressed to his "most Kynd and Loveing Grandfather, Mr. Arthur Bridge living in Sherborn in Dorsetshire," mentioned many of his relatives.

Historical Intelligence
Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the arms for record with this Society," etc.
The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which they beUeve to be eUgible to make application for recording them. The cost of painting the arms and making up the record wUl have to be defrayed by the ap- phcants, and the Committee has determined that S3.00 for each coat will barely suffice.
This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded with the application. If the application is rejected the money wall be returned unless the apphcant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof. The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altogether, and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.
It seems e\'ident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases in size, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals, manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. AppUca- tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further proof.
Printed directions for the making of apphcations may be obtained from the Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash- burton Place, Boston.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own famihes and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated, especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad- uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER
JULY, 1918
FRANKLIN HOWARD GILSON
By Alden p. Gilson, S.B., of Wellesley Hills, Mass.
Franklin Howard Gilson, printer, elected to resident member- ship in the New England Historic Genealogical Society in 1903 and made a life member in 1911, died at his home at Wellesley Hills, Mass., 19 April 1917, in the sixty-third year of his age.
He was born at Cambridge, Mass., 21 December 1854, the son of Henry Yend and Mary Spofford (Bailey) Gilson, and was sixth in descent from Joseph^ Gilson, through John,^ John,^ Solomon,* Asa,^ and Henry Yend,® his father. Joseph^ Gilson married at Chelms- ford, Mass., 10 or 18 November 1661, Mary Cooper or Caper, and afterwards settled at Groton, Mass., where he was one of the original proprietors of the town.
FrankHn Howard Gilson was educated in the pubhc schools of Somerville, Mass., whither his father had removed from Cambridge in 1857. At the age of seventeen he left the high school, in order to learn music printing, being apprenticed to Andrew B. Kidder, then the leading music printer in Boston. In 1877 he entered the book- printing office of Rand, Avery & Company, to obtain a wider knowl- edge of the general printing business. When this had been acquired, he started in business in 1878 on his own account, with a fellow workman as partner, each putting in five hundred dollars, with which, as capital, a small music typesetting plant was purchased. Within the first year the partner withdrew, taking for his interest Mr. Gilson's note ; and the latter developed the business alone. The field for music typesetting was limited and the competition sharp, and during the second year Mr. Gilson and five employees were sufficient to care for all the work that came to the modest estabUsh- ment. But as a result of persistency and of careful attention to every detail the volume of business increased, and at the end of five years had doubled.
From 1884 to 1888 some pubUshing was done, including several school music books and a periodical. The School Micsic Journal, which Mr. Gilson also edited. Then, finding that his pubhsliing created some feehng among liis customers in his printing business who were also pubUshers, he sold liis catalogue to the OUver Ditson Company, and again confined his work to printing alone. VOL. Lxxn. 11
164 Franklin Hoivard Gilson [July
In 1888 fire destroyed a large part of his plant; but he purchased that of C. M. Gay, liis strongest competitor, and when his own plant was reconstructed the two were brought together under one roof. Securing a large contract for presswork and binding in 1889, he bought out the establishment of Carter & Weston, printers and bookbinders, including nine Adams presses and a large amount of bookbinding machinery. In 1891 he added departments of music engraving and hthographing, making five distinct departments in the estabhshment — those of music typesetting, printing from electro- type plates, music engraving, hthographing, and bookbinding.
In 1891 the business was incorporated under the name of F. H. Gilson Company, with Mr. Gilson as president and manager.
In 1899 the book-composing room of C. J. Peters was destroyed by fire, and Mr. Gilson took over his uncompleted work. This was the beginning of what is to-day the principal work of the company, the printing of scientific textbooks, genealogical books, and other books of a high-grade and intricate nature. Shortty after this the music engraving and Hthographing departments were sold, Mr. Gilson preferring to devote all his energies to the typographic method of printing.
In 1914 an electrotype foundry was added to the estabhshment, so that now every process in the manufacture of a book is carried on by the company — music composition, book composition, electrotyping, presswork, and bookbinding. The company has not only the largest book-printing plant in Boston but also the only one in Boston in which a book can be made complete from manuscript to bound copy. From five employees in 1879 the regular force has increased to over one hundred and thirty to-day.
The successful development of this large industry is a practical demonstration of Mr. Gilson's great business sagacity. It was a fundamental business principle ^\ith him that a transaction, to be right, must be mutually advantageous to the parties concerned. Living up to the high level of this principle won him the confidence and esteem of all with whom he dealt. He was upright and straight- forward in all his affairs.
Mr. Gilson made several inventions of commercial value. The interest in amateur photography which he had maintained since boyhood led him to design an adjustable photograph album for his own use. This he later patented and manufactured on a large scale. He also worked out an exposure table for amateur photographers, and invented a " glue pencil " for use in mounting photographs. All these devices have sold Av-idely.
His favorite relaxation from business was in the observation and study of nature, particularly of botany. It was while he was still a young man that he began under difficult conditions this nature study. Making long days in Boston in the printing trade, he would start from home very early and often walk long distances on the way to his train, and then on the train analyze with his faithful Gray's Botany the new flowers he had found. His knowledge of the flora about his home was so complete and liis powers of observation so keen that he discovered species new to the region, such as Ceanothus
1918] Franklin Howard Gilson 165
ovatus; peculiar forms, such as the form of the black spruce that establishes a zone of new plants by the natural layering and rooting of its lower branches; also certain characteristics of tree leafing and branching wliich had escaped the eye of that brilhant botanist, Asa Gray, whom Mr. Gilson knew very well.
Trees he especially loved, and he pubhshed in two editions (1887, 1888) "Trees of Reading, Mass.," in which five notably fine specimens were illustrated from photographs. For this work he used a special lens, selected after many trials to secure one that would give the greatest perfection in the definition of details from the ground to the tips of the branches, and the illustrations produced are a striking evidence of his determination to excel in whatever he undertook.
Mr. Gilson's boyhood and early manhood were spent in Somerville. He married, 23 September 1874, Emily Isabel Lowry of NashviUe, Tenn., daughter of Robert and Mary Ann Clark (Lowry) Lowry, and in 1875 they moved from SomervilleVto) Reading, Mass., where their five children were born and where they hved until 1890. In that year Mr. Gilson moved with his family to Wellesley Hills, Mass., where he resided until his death.
As a citizen he took a keen interest in the affairs of his town, and was never too busy to do his full share in its service. He served several terms as park conmiissioner and two terms as selectman of Wellesley. As a town official, as in his business, he analyzed every problem presented to him with the utmost care, and his opinions were definite and positive because they were based on most scrupulous investigation. He was too broad-minded to be actively partisan. Every question was settled in his mind entirely on its merits, as he worked it out without bias and with only the welfare of the town to be considered. No citizen ever gave the town more conscientious and intelligent service.
He was not what would be ordinarily called a social man, as his other interests largely outweighed those of a purely social character. He was so many-sided that new interests were constantly developing to give zest and freshness to his remarkably active mind, a mind which made far too strenuous demands on his body and which completely wore out the body while the mind was at the summit of its develop- ment.
Mrs. Gilson survives her husband, and four of their five children are living: Mrs. Beatrice A. Slocombe, A.B. (Cornell, 1904), of Worcester, Mass., Mrs. Isabel C. Adams of Bayside, Long Island, N. Y., Alden P. Gilson, S.B. (Harvard, 1906), of Wellesley HiUs, secretary and treasurer of the F. H. Gilson Company, and Mrs. Anna R. Adams of Newton Highlands, Mass. Their second child and elder son, Claude U. Gilson of Holhston, Mass., for many years an officer in the F. H. Gilson Company, died at Holhston 27 December 1916.

JOHN HOLMAN OF DORCHESTER, MASS., AND HIS DESCENDANTS
By Alfred Lyman Holman of Chicago, III.
The English home of John Holman of Dorchester, Mass., the immigrant ancestor of the family which forms the subject of this article, was at Swyre, co. Dorset, a parish on the coast of the EngHsh Channel, about six miles southeast from Bridport in the same county. According to Moule's "Enghsh Counties," pubHshed in 1838, the parish contained (presumably about that time) only 43 houses and 210 inhabitants. The parish church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is a restoration and enlargement of the old church that has stood there for several centuries. The oldest book of the parish registers, after having been lost for many years, was discovered in the parish of Puncknowle, which adjoins Swyre on the east, and was restored to the custody of the then rector of Swyre in Feb. 1892. It includes baptisms, marriages, and burials from 1587 to 1718, and is in a most tattered condition.* This register and the will of Morgan Holman, father of John of Dorchester, Mass., are the chief sources of information about the English connections of the New England immigrant.
Henry Holman, of Swyre, co. Dorset, grandfather of John of Dorchester, Mass., is the earhest ancestor of the New England family from whom descent has been proved, and was dead in 1587. He married Joan Jolliffe, who was buried in the church of Swyre 28 June 1604, daughter of WiUiam of Martinstown, Winterbourne St. Martin, co. Dorset. In one of the early parish account books at Swyre there is a reference to a bequest of £10 given by Mrs. Joane Holman of Barwick,t widow, who was buried 28 June 1604. Another item in regard to the same bequest reads; "The Hke somme of Tenne pounds given hkewise Mris. Joane Holman widow late of Barwick in Swyre aforesaid deceased for ever to remaine to the said use and yerely imployment & yerely to yeeld 20s.," and there is also "an account showing how 24s reed for year 1614 for the use of £10 given for ever to remain in stock for use of the poor by Mris. Joane Hollman late of Barwick."
Children (order of births unknown) :
i. Morgan, b. probably abt. 1563. See below.
ii. Anne, living 19 June 1614, when she was mentioned as '"my sister
Anne Waye" in her brother Morgan's will; m. Wate
(probably Henry Waye). Child (probably): Henry, who as

"Henrie Waie Jun" was a witness to the will of Morgan Holman in 1614.
iii. William, of East Stower, co. Dorset, and ChHcomb, co. Hants, bur. in the chancel of St. Clement's Church, Winchester, co. Hants, abt. 1624; m. Susanna Jolliffe, bapt. at Fifehead-Magdalene, CO. Dorset, 4 Oct. 1583, dau. of John and Elizabeth (New- man) . WilHam Holman was named as one of the executors in his brother Morgan's wUl in 1614.
iv. Alice, m. Thomas Bishop, s. of John and EUnor (Watkins) of Chucombe, co. Dorset. "Mr. Thomas Byshopp" was men- tioned as one of the overseers in the wiU of his brother-in-law, Morgan Holman, in 1614.
V. Mary (probably aau. of Henry), m. at Swyre, 29 Feb. 1695/6, Richard Davtdqe, probably the Richard Davidge who was a witness to the will of Morgan Holman in 1614. Perhaps others.
Morgan Holman (Henry), of Barwicke [Berwick] in the parish of Swyre, co. Dorset, Gentleman, born probably about 1563, w£ts buried at Swyre 1 July 1614. He married at Swyre, 24 Oct. 1596, Alice Odberre, who was Hving 19 June 1614.* As Morgan Holman of Barwick, aged twenty-five, he held in 1588 a cottage at Burton-Bradstock, co. Dorset, a parish adjoining Swyre on the west. He was churchwarden at Swyre in 1607 and overseer in 1608 and 1611. In the con- tributions "for the rehef of our poore" in 1614 he gave 12s., the largest amount given by any one person. He held of the Earl of Bedford, by lease dated 1 Nov. 1606, for the term of ninety-ninejyears, "determinable vppon my life & the hves of Alice my wife and Robte my sonne," a farm at Berwick in the parish of Swyre. The house and farm buildings were situated about a mile north from the church at Swyre, and distinct traces of the old house that must have been in exist- ence over three hundred years ago can now be seen in the present enlarged house. Extracts from Morgan Hoknan's will follow.

• An Alice Holman was married at Swyre, 11 Dec. 1621, to John Napper, and an Alice Holman was buried at Swyre 23 Jan. 1628/9. One of these women — it is not possible now to determine which one — may have been the widow of Morgan Holman. Who the other one was is unknown, although it may be conjectured that, if the Alice Holman who was married to John Napper was the widow of Morgan, the Alice who was buried in 1628/9 may have been the wife of his son Morgan, for the elder Morgan Holman does not appear to have had a daughter Alice (unless perhaps there was a posthumous child of that name) and his sister Alice is known to have married, before 19 June 1614, Thomas Bishop.

[Signed] Morgan Hohnan" [Seal] Witnesses: Henrie Waie Jun, Richard Davidge [Seal], Sampson Miller [Seal], Richard Jacob als Beagan. Proved 19 April 1623. (P.C.C, Swann, 33.*)
IMorgan Holman's bequest of £5 for the benefit of the poor of the parish of Swyre was evidently not carried out, for in 1639 an entry in the parish account books reads: "Besides there is ffiue pounds giuen by Mr. Morgan Holman deceased wch wee [have] not received for wch we desire . . . assist- ance." The last allusion to this legacy occurs in 1651, and the overseers had not then received it and for the future omitted to refer to it.
• The original will is on file at Somerset House, London. It is written on two sheets, each of which is signed by Morgan Holman.

1. JoHN^ Holman, of Dorchester, Mass., was baptized at Swyre, CO. Dorset, England, 27 Jan. 1602/3, the son of Morgan and Alice (Odbene) Holman and the grandson of Henry and Joan (JoUiffe) Holman, and died at Dorchester, Mass., between 10 June 1652, the date of his will, and 18 Mar. 1652/3, the date of the inventory of his
estate. He married first, probably at Dorchester, Anne , who
was admitted to the church 4 Nov. 1639 and died at Dorchester 1 Dec. 1639; and secondly, probably at Dorchester, about 1640, Anne Bishop, baptized at Bridport, co. Dorset, England, 22 Oct. 1616, daughter of Thomas and Avis (Abbot). About two years after the death of John Holman his widow, Anne (Bishop) Holman, was married to Rev. Henry Butler, A. B. (Harvard, 1651), A.M. (Harvard, 1654), the schoolmaster of Dorchester, and soon afterwards returned with him to England. From a statement in the manuscript diary of Rev. Michael Wigglesworth it may be inferred that the marriage of Mr. Butler and Mrs. Holman took place 9 Mar. 1654/5, the entry of that date in the diary reading: "Thursd. I wet to Boston & fro- y°^ to Mr Butlers he being married." Mr. Butler, according to Calamy's "Ejected or Silenced Ministers," vol. 2, p. 611, died at Withamfrary [Witham-Friary, co. Somerset], England, 24 Apr. 1696, aged 72 years. His wife, the widow of John Holman, was already deceased on 4 Aug. 1673, when Mr. Butler, describing himself as "now or late of yeouell" [Yeovil], co. Somerset, England, conveyed to Thomas^ Holman (John^) of Milton, Mass., his interest in the estate of John Holman, and referred in the deed to "anne my late wife."*
The following entries in the "Aspinwall Notarial Records" prove that John Holman of Dorchester, Mass., was identical with John, son of Morgan Holman of Swyre, co. Dorset, England; and the second entry shows also the disposition made by John Holman of his interest in the paternal lands at Swyre.

John Holman, son of "Morgane Holman late of Barwick, gent.," was enrolled at Dorchester, co. Dorset, England, 25 Mar., 20 James I [1622], as an apprentice to "Wm. Jolliffe of Dorchester, woUendra- per," probably one of his father's relatives.* If he served the full time of his apprenticeship, this would account for him until nearly 1630, the year in which it is beheved that he emigrated to New Eng- land. Possibly he sailed in the advance ship of Winthrop's fleet, the Mary and John, whose passengers, landing at Mattapan in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, called their settlement Dorchester.
At a meeting of the General Court in Boston, 3 Oct. 1632, John Holman and Henry Way were authorized to receive £40 out of a fine of £45 imposed on Nicholas Frost, and to keep Nicholas Frost "in boults . . . till his Sines be paid, dureing w'^'' time hee [Frost] is to beare his owne charges."! In Pyncheon's papers John Holman is mentioned as a collector of furs at Dorchester, Mass., in 1633. He was a landholder at Dorchester, and is mentioned often in the town records from 1 Sept. 1634 on, when Bray Clarke and John Allen were ordered to build a house "upon the Rocke by John Holman." His farm which he left by his will to his sons Thomas and Samuel and to his wife was in that part of Dorchester which was set off in 1662 as the town of Milton. He was a selectman of Dorchester in 1636, 1637, and 1642, was chosen by the General Court, 9 Mar. 1636/7, ensign for Dorchester, was a member of the "Jury of Life & Death" at a Quarter Court held at Boston and Newtown 19 Sept. 1637, 'and was the nineteenth signer of the original roll of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1637. At a " Generall Court of Elections," held in Boston 2 June 1641, Lieut. Willard, John Holman, and Rich- ard Colhcott, with so many as they should receive into their society, were given a monopoly of trading with the Indians. J
The will of John Holman, dated 10 June 1652, is as follows:
" Whereas almighty God haveing layd upon me a great afEiction I thinke it my duty to dispose of that smale estate God have given me to prevent trouble for time to come : And whereas the honorable Court have established a Law the eldest sonne shall have a double portion my earnest desire is and to my greife I speak it my sonne being growne to some yeares prooveth diso- bedient and stubbome against me my desire is he may be deprived of that

"In testimony whereof I subscribe my hand this 10th day of the 4th moneth 1652.
John Holman."
The estate of John Hohnan was, for that time, a large one, the inventory, taken 18, 1 mo. 1652/3, showing a valuation of £739. 16s. The appraisers were Richard CoUicott and William Robinson of Dorchester, and the inventory was "Accepted prouided y^ execu- trix Appeare before the next County Court giue in securitie for the Childrens porcons." *
In his will John Holman had declared that John, his eldest son, had proved disobedient and stubborn, and instead of leaving to him the customary double portion he had bequeathed to him £50, to be paid when he should have reached the age of twenty years. The young man was bom 23 Feb. 1637/8, and was therefore about fifteen years old when his father died. On 17 Apr. 1656, when he was eighteen years of age, he "came before the Magistr, & with their allowance chose Robert Badcocke to be his guardian." f His reason for doing this was undoubtedly for the purpose of bringing a suit to contest his father's will, and to tliis end he filed a petition with the General Court, in which he states that he is the "eldest sonne of his father by his former wife; mother unto your petitioner and by that parental! care and tender endevors your petitioner with the rest of the children was honestly and religiously brought up whilst his mother lived;" that he always behaved himself as a dutiful son, "the folly and vanity of child hood and youth excepted. . . . But so it came to pass your petitioners mother died and in some space of tyme his father marred another woman of good repute liveing at that tyme in dorchester by whom he had fouer cliildren two sonnes and two daughters among whom your petitioner and his sister Mary were still continued in the family;" that he behaved liimself "hke a duti-

full Sonne both to father and mother . . . excepting what by reason of folly and vanity among us children did now and then fall out as is insident unto such famiUes where children of severall mothers are as was the condicon of godly Jacobs family and of his grandfather Abraham;" that his fathers will deprives him not only of his legal and just rights as eldest son, but defames liim by characterizing him as a disobedient son; and he prays that the vaUdity of the will may be inquired into, "whether it may not fairly appeare that my father did not resolve against me or intend it to stand in force but only to quiet my Mother & to be a terror unto me to keepe me in awe." *
The action of the General Court in regard to this petition is shown in the records of the session of 14 May 1656, as follows:
" In answer to the pet of John Hohnan, of Dorchester, desireinge to haue his fathers will made voyd, this Court ref errs it to the next County Court for Suffolk, to be heard, both ptyes & wittnesses, & u it appeare to the sd Court, vpon hearinge the case, that there is just reason to make null or alter the will of the petitionor father, then the.sd Court to state the case, & report the grounds thereof to the next session of this Court; but if the contrary appear to the id Court, viz*, that the will ought to remayne in force, & the petio" not to make any further trouble, & in that case, also, the id Court to giue reasons to this Court why they app'hend the the will ought to stand in force, & also that securitie be forthwith taken by the secritary to the value of one hundred pounds, vpon the estat of Mr John Holman, deceased, to be responsall for what this Court shall determine & conclude herein vpon information from the County Court."t
In connection with this suit the following declaration was made by Mrs. Anne (Bishop) (Holman) Butler, stepmother of the petitioner:
"To the Honnord Court Assembled at Boston, The Declareation of Anne Butler sume time Wife and now Executrix to Jno. Hollman late of Dor- chester, etc.
"God by his providence Calling me to England to my new Husband though mor suddenly then I expected as sume of yourselves know, I thought it my Duty to leave a few lines for the Clearing of myselfe and former Husband who was Deare to me in his life time and now I hope and believe is Blessed with the Lord. Since my present husband went for England I have been informed that some persons have given in testimony against me Concerning John Hollman which Is no small trouble of mind to me that there should be such Recording up family weaknesses to the dishonor of God and Grief of one another and I had rather goe many paces Backward to cover Shame than one Inch forward to discover any; and that which I am forced here to Speak I thought to have Buried had I not been forced to it for the Clearing of my selfe and former Husband: it pleased God to give me the enjoyment of my former Husband about forteen years; when I married him he had tow children the one newly taken from the Brest and the other three years and sd wch children continued with me all the time of my husbands life only a while the one was at schoole and in that time I had six children by my husband soe that our family was very great by Reason of Children and servants and my husbands calling leading him oft from whome for many weeks and months together the whole weight and Burthen of the family lay upon me to look after maters Both within and without the truth is that I am Loath to speak of it yett my very Life was a Burthen to me p' Reson of the many Troubles and distractions I met with both within and without p' Reson

of my husbands absence soe that it is not only Likely but Trew that I might let fall some speeches or passages that might not be according to the rule of Godly ■ Govenunent But it is very trew and I have caus to Bewale it that through many In Cumbrances and my own Corruption I have many ways fayled and missed it in my place. And I hope that your wisdom will consider that a woman soe offt Loste with soe many children and servants and such weight of Buseness. Tis not any Easie thing for such an one to walke accord- ing to rule in all things I desire not to Justifie my self But to bewale it wherever I have n^i&sed and it is my grief that servants and neighbors that have been in my husbands house by accident should Blare aboroad such things as carie such a face with them as Indeed is not in them.«
"And whereas I am Informed that John Hollman and others doe labor to prove that I was the caus why his father didnt give him a double portion that I must absolutely deny I never moved his father to any such thing but it was his own Voluntarie act unknown to me until such time as he read his will in my hearing I then discovered that it might be otherwise my husband was displeased with me as I supose overseers can witnes but as I said before I am unwilling to discover shame but the truth is it was John Hollmans ill carriage toward his father that was the cause his father did deprive him of a double portion it was not only the Miss carriages of his childhood for as I suppose he was seventeen j^ears old or thereabouts when his father dyed and he being growne up to years of Descreation and his father in great affliction it was greevious to him to see his son soe to cary himselfe the wch he hath often bewaled not only to myself e but to others allso; and Reproved and Told him the danger and Evill that wold follow and Insue such Corsess. I shall Instance in some particulars though the Lord knowes I desire nott to speake in prejudes to John Hollman but for the clearing of the truth as the Cases now stands soe farr my Declaration may have credit given to it I shall not say anything in thisse consarning his carriage towards me as his mother but only of his carage towards his father.
"His frquent Expressions the old man will never Recover it and then I shall have double portion the house and land shall be myne and his carraige hath Been very unnatneraU his father never above twise that Ivremember desired his son Jolm to do a mean offies for him his answer was a dogs take it it stinks like poyson whereup>on his father threw his slipper at him and told him with many teares that he was a curssed cham he also told him of Elis Sons and of the sins of disobedience to parents and his answer was why doe you not hang me then
"His father hath offt thretened him to have him before the Majestrate and before the Church; his father hath divers times spoaken of his death but it never brought a teare from him that I ever could perceive in soe much that his father hath off ten said to him; I feare God hath reprobated thee; his father tooke it very greeviously that when he had been abroad at his Returne he would not speake to him nor aske him how he did his father told him he would make a publike example and could finde in his hart never to give him a penny he told his father to his face that he did not care Lett him do what he would and when his father lay dead in the hous he did desire to see the will that he might know what his father had given him and when he did know he wondered that his father had given him soe much.
"Much more I could have added in severall particulars but I am not willing to trouble the court in laying blemish upon John Hollman without constrainte but leave it to the testimony and Examination of others of the court see caus to call for it.

John Holman was unsuccessful in his suit, as is shown by the records of the session of the General Court held in Boston, 14 Oct. 1656, as follows:
"The County Court held at Boston the 5^^ of August, 1656, having heard all the evidences in the case concerning Mr Holmans will in reference to John Hohnan, his son, according to the order of the Gen" Court, May, 56, doe make this report: that notwithstanding the evidences p'duced by John Hohnan, which are on file, they judge the will of the sd Hohnan legally proued, & se no cause to alter the same; which returne of the County Court this Court thinkes meet to approue off in this case." *

2. JoHN^ Holman (John^), of Boston, Mass., merchant, born at Dorchester, Mass., 23 Feb. 1637/8, was probably Uving as late as 14 Aug. 1700, when he was mentioned in a letter from the Earl of Bellomont to Judge Samuel Sewall, of which a part is printed below, but was dead on 20 Dec. 1700, when his two daughters referred to him in a deed as deceased. J He married, probably about 1666, Mary Blanton, born in Boston in July 1645, died probably before July 1682, daughter of William and Phebe. §
His unsuccessful attempt in 1656 to induce the Court to set aside his father's will has, been described above. In 1675 he served in King Philip's War, in Capt. Samuel Mosely's

§ In Boston Births, Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths, under the year 1645, there are two entries of the birth of Mary Blanton, one entry reading "Mary of William & Phebe Blantaine born 5th month," and the other reading "Mary of William & Phebe Blantaiue born 4th — 6th month." In the records of the First Church, however, the baptism of "Mary of William Blanton aged about 8 days" is entered under date of "3 day 6 mo." 1645. It is likely, therefore, that she was born towards the end of July 1645.

company, which "marched out of Boston, probably early in the morning of June 27th," and took part in the operations at Mount Hope.* He took the oath of allegiance in Boston, 11 Nov. 1678. In 1679 he was mentioned as being "in Capt. John Hulls Co. [South Company of Boston], List of those for watch," and in 1681 he was taxed in Boston under "No. 8. Capt. John Hulls Comp." On 27 Mar. 1682 he was com- plained of for selling "beere & Cyder by retayle" without a license.
It may be supposed that after this time he becameja regular soldier, as the name of John Holman, corporal, is found in a Ust of "Soldiers in garrison at Fort Albany, on the 26th of October, 1689, who took the oath of allegiance to Iving Wil- liam and Queen Mary." The records show also that Capt. Peter Schuyler "hsted" John Holman, with some others, in 1692, for Kings County, and that in 1698 John Holman was in Captain Weems's command.
Some correspondence between Judge Samuel Sewall of Boston and the Earl of Bellomont, Governor of New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, furnishes the latest known record of John^ Holman while he was still hving. Under date of 5 Aug. 1700 Judge Sewall wrote a letter to Lord Bellomont, in which the following passage occurs:
"I would pray your Lordship to admit my speaking one word in behalf of John Holman, a Souldier at Albany. His sister Mason though 63 years old, and tormented by the Stone, yet came over to me this morning to soUcit on her Brothers behalf. Her Request is, that your Excellency would condescend, either to put him into such a station as may render his Life comfortable, or else to assist him, (a Souldier grown old in His Majs Service) in his Removal to Boston. If Capt. Crow attend your Exes Return to New- York, possibly, a convenient passage might be obtained for him on the Kings Account, "t
Lord Bellomont's reply is as follows :
"Albany, the Uth Aug: 1700. "Sir:
"Before I received the favour of your Letter of the 5th inst., I Inquired after Mr. Holman, calling to mind the request you for- merly made me on his account. 'Tis in vain to promise you prefer- ment for him, because that these companies being ill paid, or rather not paid at all, the officers as well as the Souldiers are destitute and in a miserable condition, therefore I conclude the kindest course I can take is to send Mr. Holman to Boston to his friends, w'h I will do by Capt Crow."t

He received by his father's will a one-quarter interest in his father's estate in that part of Dorchester which in 1662 was incorporated as the town of Milton ; and he obtained the remainder of the entire property by deed from his brother Samuel and wife, dated 21 Aug. 1671, and by deed from his stepfather. Rev. Henry Butler, dated 4 Aug. 1673, the con- sideration in the latter deed being £160.|| He served as a soldier in King Phihp's War, under Capt. Thomas Brattle. Among those who gave their assent to a new church covenant in Dorchester, 5 Mar. 1676/7, were Thomas Holman and his wife of Milton, and they were admitted to full communion 7 May 1677. When a new church was formed in Milton, 24 Apr. 1678, Thomas Holman was among those who joined it, and his wife was dismissed to that church 18 Sept. 1681. He was one of the foremost citizens of the town, and was active in all church and town affairs. An abstract of his ^vill follows.

4. Samuel^ Holman (John^), of Boston, Mass., baptized at Dor- chester, Mass., 6 Dec. 1646, died probably shortly before 7 Feb. 1688/9, when administration on his estate was granted to Thomas Holman of Milton, Mass., and two others. He married Rachel Bateman, born in Boston 28 May 1651 and baptized (First Church, Boston) 1 June 1651, daughter of John and Hannah. She survived her husband, and was li\'ing 10 Nov. 1689, when her father made his will.
Samuel Holman was a chirurgeon or barber surgeon. As Samuel Holman, "Barber," he, with his wife Rachel, con- veyed to his brother Thomas Holman of Milton, in a deed dated 21 Aug. 1671, "for a ualueable consideracon," his one-quarter part in the dwelling house and farm in Milton "knowne by the name of M'' Holmans ffarme," which his father had bequeathed to him in his will in 1652.* He served in King Philip's War, under Captain Mosely, and in a petition dated 5 Apr. 1676 states that he "went out to Mount Hope under Capt. Moseley afterwards the Constable prest some of his Instruments for chirurgery for Capt. Moseleys Chirurgeon and soon after his horse was prest for the coun- trys use." He also states that about two months since petitioner was pressed to go to Narragansett under Captain Wadsworth, but being sick he sent his servant Edward Sampson at a cost of £14, and his servant has since been pressed for another company. He adds that he has no property to live on, only his calling, and he prays for relief. f He was taxed in Boston in 1681, in "Capt. Daniel Hinkman's Company," and again in 1687 and 1688.

He lived in Milton for several years after his father's death, but according to a deed of 15 Mar. 1720/1 bought land in Rehoboth, and probably removed thither soon after- wards. On 24 May 1727, in a deed in which he is called "Thomas Holman late of Milton, now of Rehoboth, Cord- wainer," he conveyed to his brother, John Holman of Milton, in consideration of £5, all his interest in the house and lands of his father, Thomas Holman. In a deed of 21 Aug. 1729 "Thomas Holman of Rehoboth in ye County of Bristol . . . Cordwainer & Hannah his Wife w^^^ Hannah was Daughter & Heir of Ralf Turner, late of Falmouth," in consideration of £70, conveyed 200 acres of land in Falmouth which had formerly belonged to the said Ralph Turner. In May 1728 he sold property in Rehoboth, acknowledging his signature to the deed on 27 Mar. 1729, and removed, probably soon afterwards, to Middletown, where according to a deed of 12 June 1735 he bought land on the east side of the Connect- icut River. An abstract of his will follows.

7. Samuel' Holman (Thomas,'^ J ohn^), of Milton and Edgartown, Mass.. and of Windsor, Conn., tanner, born at Milton 27 June 1683, died at Windsor 13 Jan. 1728/9. He married at Hart- ford, Conn., 14 Jan. 1715/16, Katherine Roberts, who was probably baptized in the First Church, Hartford, in Apr. 1690, and who died at Windsor 29 May 1740, daughter of William and Dorothy (Forbes) of Hartford.
On 4 June 1703 twenty of the proprietors of Edgartown, on the island of Martha's Vineyard, describing themselves as "the major part of the owners, and holding the most, or greatest propriety in and to the common or undivided lands in Edgartown," thought it "meet and good for the advance- ment of the whole propriety to allot and grant a division out of the said lands unto Samuel Holman, tanner, a certain part thereof for the encouragement of using and improving his faculty in the trade (viz) a certain part or parcel of land being about eight or ten acres, more or less, bounded easterly by the highway, . . . which said land was formerly called the minister's lot, being first intended therefor, but now al- tered." * On 16 July 1703 Matthew Mayhew, as lord proprietor, conveyed to Samuel Holman by a deed this land granted to him by the proprietors, and on the same date, by another deed, he conveyed to Samuel Holman one acre of land, "part of the house lot "f of the Worshipful Thomas Mayhew, Esq., deceased. f Five years later, on 9 June 1708, Samuel Holman conveyed to John Holman of Milton this property, described in the deed as a "tract of land in Edgar- town . . . containing by estimation ten acres, . . . with all the houses . . . and buildings, . . . timber, . . . waters, . . . mines and minerals, . . . also a certain parcel of the bark, . . . with a set of tanner's tools and mill with all the fats and other materials which belong to a tanner."

"Know all men by these presents that whereas Major Matthew Mayhew late of the Edgartown in Dukes County, Deceased did many years ago give and grant unto Samuel Holman of the town of Milton, about one acre of land being part of e<l May- hew's house lot in Edgartown for seting up of a tanners trade and the s<l land being since conveighed by sd Samuel Holman to his brother John Holman; and whereas the northermost half (or there abouts) of the bark house thus erected being set out without the bounds of sd acre upon the lands of s<i Mayhew ; Know ye therefore that I Matthew Mayhew of sd Edgartown Eldest son and heir of the sd'Majr Mayhew: have . . . granted . . . unto the sd John Holman . . . so much of the land as sd house in- compasseth without the sd bounds of sd acre, together with four feet round the sd northeastermost side of sd barn for passing round the same."

Samuel Holnian then established his business at Windsor, Conn., where he resided during the remainder of his life. On 6 Feb. 1726/7, as Samuel Holman of Windsor, tanner, he conveyed to his brother John Hohnan of Milton, Gent., all interest "both real & personal which doth or shall of right belong or Accrue to me by the Death of my brother Ebenezer Holman late of Boston . . . Carpenter deced upon a Just partition & Division of the Same." * An abstract of Samuel Holman's wUl follows.

The inventory of the estate of Katherine Holman, widow of Samuel, taken 30 June 1740, showed property appraised at £76. 9s. 6d. On 5 June 1750 an inventory of her estate was exhibited in court by Benjamin Roberts, administrator, and was accepted. On 3 June 1740, soon after his mother's death, Samuel Holman, a minor nineteen years of age, chose Benjamin Roberts as his guardian, and the Court appointed Benjamin Roberts of Hartford as guardian of Ebenezer Holman, a minor thirteen years of age.t

RICHARD SEYMOUR OF HARTFORD AND NORWALK, CONN., AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS
Communicated by Seymour Morris of Chicago, 111.
1, Richard' Seamer, the first of the Sejonour name in this coun- try, was baptized at Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, England, 27 Jan. 1604/5, the son of Robert and EHzabeth (Waller) and the grandson of John and Dyzory (Porter),* and died at Norwalk, Conn., between 29 July 1655, the date of his will, and 10 Oct. 1655, the date of the inventory of his estate.

She married secondly, 25 Nov. 1055, as his second wife, John Steele of Farmington, Conn., who died there 27 Feb. 1664/5.
Richard Seymour came to Hartford, Conn., in 1639, where he appears as a proprietor, and he was also one of the settlers who received land "by the courtesie of the town."

In his will, dated 22 Sept. and proved 7 Nov. 1712, he describes himself as "very Sick and Weak," bequeaths to his wife Ehzabeth the use and improvement, during her widowhood, of his house, barn, one half of the orchard, and the west end of his home lot, together with meadow land and necessary household goods, and gives also to her the estate that she brought with her, his new Bible, and "one paire of Curtains that She made Since her Living with me." To his son John he gives the use and improvement of the other half of the orchard during his wife's widowhood. Upon the death or remarriage of his wife his house, barn, home lot, and orchard are to go to his grandson Thomas Seamer. To his sons Matthew and John he devises the rest of his lands, and they are to pay £4 "in provision pay" to each of his surviving daughters, except his daughter Elizabeth Knap, who is to receive 20s. The will was witnessed by James Betts, Sr., and John Copp. The inventory of his estate, taken 15 Oct. 1712 by John Raymond and Samuel Smith, showed property appraised at £351. 5s. f

3. JoHN^ Seymour (Richard^), of Hartford, Conn., born probably at Hartford, died there between 10 Dec. 1712 and 3 Aug. 1713. He married Mary^ Watson, who was hving 10 Dec. 1712, daughter of John^ and Margaret (Smith) of Hartford.
He was made a freeman in 1667, and was an active and influential man. In 1670 he and his wife owned the covenant at the Second Church in Hartford, and on 31 Mar. 1678 they were admitted to full communion.
In his will, dated 10 Dec. 1712 and proved 3 Aug. 1713, he bequeaths to his wife Mary one third of his movable estate for her disposal, and the remainder, together with his house, barn, orchard, three acres of land, etc., he leaves to her for her improvement. To his son John he gives twelve acres, with dwelling house thereon, lying south of Robert Webster's land, and also other lands. To his son Thomas he gives land on the west side of the Farmington road, being south of the land given to his son John, with dwelling-house and barn, and also other lands. To his son Richard he gives the land where he [Richard] now dwelleth, with buildings thereon, five acres, and £20 to be paid equally by his three sons, John, Thomas, and Zachariah. To his son Zachariah he gives three acres, with his [the testator's] dwelling house, barn, etc., after the decease of his wife, and also other lands; and Zachariah is to pay to the testator's two daughters £20 each. To his daughter Mary North he bequeaths £30, of which his son Zachariah is to pay £20 and the rest is to be paid out of the movable estate after his wife's decease. To his daughter Margaret Root he bequeaths £30. The in- ventory, taken by James Ensign and Thomas Richards, shows property valued at £1158. 14s. Id., a large estate for that time.

After the death of his father in 1655 Zachariah Seymour evidently removed to Farmington, Conn., with his mother, and appears as a freeman there in 1669. Later he settled at Wethersfield, where he married at the age of about 45.
In his will, dated 14 Apr. and proved 11 Nov. 1702, he bequeaths to his wife one third of his housing and land in Wethersfield; and she is to have one room in his dwelling house as part of her third as long as she remains his widow, and is then to receive a reasonable rent for her part of the house. To his four daughters he gives, in equal shares, all his estate after the decease of his wife; and they are to receive two thirds of their shares as they severally come of age. He chooses his "loving brethren," John Seymour, Sr., of Hartford and Richard Seymour of Farmington, to be overseers, with John Seymour, Jr., and Thomas Seymour of Hartford. The final division of his estate was made 3 May 1714 between his widow, his daughter Mary, wife of Henry Grimes, his daughter Ehzabeth, wife of Gideon Belding, and his daughters Abigail and Ruth Seymour.

Richard^ Seymour (Richard^), of Farmington, Conn., born at Hartford, Conn., died at Farmington prior to 29 Nov. 1710, being killed by the fall of a tree, and was buried on a portion of his own land which was afterwards used as a burial place. He married Hannah^ Woodruff, born about 1648, died at Farmington 16 Sept. 1712, daughter of Matthew^ and Hannah of Farmington.
He was a freeman at Farmington in 1669 and one of the eighty-four proprietors of that town in 1672. His wife appears in a list of church members at Farmington, dated 1 Mar. 1679/80, and Richard became a member of the same church on 31 May 1685. He settled in that part of Farming- ton called Kensington (now the town of Berhn), and became a leader in the settlement. There the Seymour fort was built, within which were the cabins where the inhabitants sought refuge at night during the Indian alarms, Richard Seymour being the captain of the garrison. The well in front of the fort still remains.
The inventory of his estate, taken 29 Nov. 1710 by Thomas Seymour, Thomas Hart, and Thomas Curtis, showed property valued at £416. 13s. 3d. Administration on the estate was granted 4 Dec. 1710 to Hannah Seymour, the widow, and to Samuel Seymour, a son of the deceased.

He directs that some of the estate and "also my Negro man BristoU" be sold. He appoints his wife Catherine and his brother John Seymour as executors. The amount of the inventory was £436. 5s. Id.
• "On the same day that his child was born, the father, viz: Richard Seymour, went early into the woods to look for horses, 5, 6 or 7 miles off; found and followed one homeward: — but like to have perished ere he reached home.
" He was so feeble that he remerabreth [nothing after coming down the last mountain by sight, and memory and strength in a manner] gone; — but God who leadeth the bUnd in a way that they know not, directed him to John Norton, Jun., who was thrash- ing m his barn, who took him in and put him to bed, — called friends about him, who were diUgent in the use of means for his recovery, after some time spent betwixt hope and fear, as not knowing whether he would die or live; — He lying in a sad manner, grating his teeth [and round in his hand that pleased God he exhibited and came to rights again.) ^
" The day in which this fell out was January 6, 1682, — a snowy Saturday, — espe- cially the latter part of it. Had the man not been directed home, in likelihood he had perished in the wilderness, and perhaps have been so far covered with snow as not to have been found 'till wild fowls or beasts had preyed on him."

Eunice (Hollister) Sey- mour married secondly, 13 Jan. 1726, William Chitistor [i.e., Chichester] of Wallingford, Conn.
Administration on the estate of Jonathan Seymour was granted 5 Oct. 1725 to his widow, Eunice Seymour, and to Mr. Ebenezer Gilbert, and said Eunice was appointed guard- ian of the children, viz., "EHakim, 4 months old, Eunice, 10 years, Martha, 5 years [sic], Jerusha, 5 [sic], and Lois, 1 year and 7 months." * Soon after the second marriage of Eunice, widow of Ebenezer Seymour, his brother and sisters peti- tioned the Court that some other persons be appointed guardians of the children, because the said Eunice "is now married to one Wm. Chitester, a poor shiftless man, and the children are in a suffering condition, not likely to be provided for." * Robert Booth of Farmington was therefore appointed guardian of Eunice, Jerusha, and Lois, and George Hubbard of Middletown, Conn., who had married their aunt, Mercy Seymour (5, iii), was appointed guardian of Martha and Ehakim, children of the deceased.

BOWDITCH

The statement has been repeatedly made in print and has-been generally accepted as correct that the William Bowditch who was at Salem, Mass., in 1639 was the father of the William Bowditch who died there in 1681, the latter being a customs official at Salem and the ancestor of the well-known Bowditch family of Salem and Boston, one of whose illustrious members was Nathaniel Bowditch, the famous mathematician and astronomer.* It is the purpose of this article first to show that these two Williams were not father and son and secondly to present English records that reveal the true ancestry and the English home of the William Bowditch who died in 168Lt

224 Oenealogical Research in England [July
The first William Bowditch, according to Savage, probably came from CO. Devon, England, as the family name is there of frequent occurrence, but no evidence estabUshing his English home and con- nections has thus far been found. He was admitted as an inhabitant of Salem 20, 9 mo. [20 Nov.] 1639, and on 23, 11 mo. 1642 [23 Jan. 1642/3] received a grant of ten acres of land there. His wife Sarah was admitted to the Salem church on 10, 3 mo. [10 May] 1640, and on 4, 6 mo. [4 Aug.] 1646 was admonished by the Quarterly Court at Salem "for offensive withdraw'ing from ye ordinance of Baptizing of Infants," having, it is evident, become a Baptist.* Previous to this, on 12, 12 mo. 1642 [12 Feb. 1642/3], their son Nathaniel had been baptized in the First Church, Salem.f On 13, 8 mo. [13 Oct.] 1649 " Goodman " Bowditch received another grant of land, thirty acres, at Salem, but after 1649 his name does not appear in the Salem records for upwards of twenty years. Rev. Obadiah Holmes, however, mentions in his writings that he baptized "Goodwife Bowditch," and in 1651 Hugh Peter, writing to John Winthrop, Jr., at Pequot, Conn., asks him to entertain Goodwife Bowditch and her husband if they go thither. These records show that William Bowditch and his wife contemplated removing from Salem, beyond all doubt because of the persecution which his wife must have suffered as a Baptist. They may have removed to Newport, R. I., but the Rhode Island records make no allusion to them. At all events, they disappear from Salem in or about 1650 and never appear again as residents there. But on 9 Dec. 1673 it was ordered at Salem that the layers out of land lay out and bound the lot formerly granted to WiUiam Bowdish accord- ing to the town's grant, and on 12 Oct. 1674, only about ten months later, Nathaniel Bowdish of Newport, R. I., sold to John Pudney thirty acres of land at Salem Commons. It seems clear that this was the land granted to William Bowditch on 13 Oct. 1649, and the fact that Nathaniel alone sells the entire tract indicates that he was the sole heir of his father. It should also be noted that this William Bowditch, father of Nathaniel, appears in the records as/' Bowdish," not "Bowditch," that the form "Bowdish" was used by his son Nathaniel of Newport and has persisted among his descendants, the Bowdishes of Dartmouth, Mass., and of the Narragansett country, and that at the present time there are Bowdishes living at Providence, R. I. It is evident, therefore, that William Bowditch or Bowdish and his wife Sarah lived at Salem from 1639 until about 1650, that this Wilham left Salem probably soon after the grant of thirty acres was made to him in 1649 and before it was laid out, and that his son Nathaniel, undoubtedly his only son and heir, the ancestor of the Bowdishes of Bristol Co., Mass., and of Rhode Island, sold this land in 1674, No evidence has been found that any land belonging to WiUiam Bowditch, the father of Nathaniel, ever belonged subse- quently to the William Bowditch of Salem who died in 1681, nor has anything else been found to connect the two men beyond the fact that they both hved at Salem.

^Passing now to a consideration of the ancestry of the William Bow- ditch who died at Salem in 1681, it is possible to add to the negative evidence on this question given in the preceding paragraph the posi- tive evidence supplied by various English records that reveal with absolute certainty his English origin and home. A few years ago the lost records of the British High Court of Admiralty for the seven- teenth century were discovered in the Public Record Office in Lon- don, and among these papers Mr. J. R. Hutchinson found a deposi- tion, dated 14 July 1699, of Capt. William Bowditch, only son of the William Bowditch who died in 1681, in which he calls himself of Salem in New England, and states that he has lived there for twenty years, that he was born at Lyme-Regis, co. Dorset, and that he is thirty-four years old. This deposition furnished the starting point for further investigations in England, which brought to light the will of William Bowditch, father of the deponent of 1699, dated 31 Mar. 1671 but not proved until 6 Nov. 1705. It was drawn up before the departure of the testator for New England, while he was still a resident of Thorncombe, now in co. Dorset but formerly a part of CO. Devon, England. The wills also of other members and con- nections of this family were found, and, with the help of these wills and of parish registers, especially those of Thorncombe, the ancestry of the Bowditch family of Salem and Boston has been traced back to John Bowditch of Thorncombe, who was buried there 17 May 1563 and was the great-great-grandfather of the Wilham Bowditch who died at Salem in 1681. Below are given abstracts of wills relating to this family, numerous Bowditch entries from English parish registers, and the deposition of Capt. William Bowditch of 14 July 1699; and these records are followed by a pedigree in which the EngUsh ancestry of the Bowditches of Salem and Boston is presented in the usual genealogical form.

[From the foregoing English and from various New England records the following pedigree, showing the descent of the Bowditch family of Salem and Boston from John Bowditch of Thorncombe, co, Devon, England, has been compiled:
1. John' Bowditch, of Thorncombe, now in co. Dorset but formerly included in co. Devon, England, the testator of 1563, was born probably about 1515, and was buried at Thorncombe 17 May 1563. He married, about
1539, Margery , who survived him and, as his widow, proved his will
1 1 Oct. 1568. It is not unlikely that he was a member of the ancient and gentle family of Bowdich of Chardstock, a neighboring parish in Dorset, about eight miles from Thorncombe, whose pedigree for sixteen generations is en- tered in the Visitation of Dorsetshire for 1623 ;t and further research might bring to light the exact connection between John Bowditch of Thorncombe and the Chardstock family.
Children:
i. John,' b. abt. 1540.
ii. Nicholas, b. abt. 1542; probably the Nicholas Bowditch who was bur. at Thorncombe 14 May 1611. Probable children: Nicholas,^ bapt. at Thorncombe 12 Sept. 1567. Several who cannot be dis- tinguished in the parish registers from others of the same surname. John, bapt. at Thorncombe 19 Aug. 1582. William, bapt. at Thorncombe 25 Apr. 1585.
2. iii. Robert, b. abt. 1544.
iv. Agnes, b. abt. 1546; Uving unm., but probably contracted in mar- riage, in 1563. V. Grace, b. abt. 1549; m. at Thorncombe, 14 Oct. 1575, George
LtTMBARD.
3. vi. George, bapt. at Thorncombe 7 Sept. 1552.
2. Robert^ Bowditch {Johv}), born about 1544, was probably the Robert
Bowditch who was buried at Thorncombe, co. Devon, 10 July 1609.
He married, about 1566, Margaret , who was buried at
Thorncombe 18 Apr. 1585.
• This signature and that on the bond of 6 Nov. 1705 (vide supra, p. 227) are in the same handwTiting as that found in New England documents signed by William Bow- ditch, son of the William Bowditch who died at Salem in 1681.

Thomas Silves- ter of Thomcombe, clothier, who d. not later than 23 Mar. 1685/6, when the inventory of his estate was taken.

The wiU was witnessed by John Bragge, who was the husband of a niece of the testatrix, Dorcas Bowditch (5, vi), and by Robert Bowditch, whose relationship to the testatrix is uncertain.
iii. John, of Thomcombe, bapt. 4 Feb. 1617/18; living 3 Nov. 1691, when he was mentioned in the will of his sister Katherine SUvester; probably the John Bowditch who was bur. at Thomcombe 18 Dec. 1693; m. abt. 1651 Margaret ,* who was bur. at Thom- combe 22 Aug. 1679.

was granted in Essex Co., 24 Oct. 16S1, to Philip Cromwell, his will of 1671 not being proved until many years later in England. He married at Bothenhampton, co. Dorset, 15 Sept. 1663, Sarah Bear of Wayford, co. Somerset, who survived him. A committee was appointed on 27 Nov. 16S3 to set off to the Widow Bowditch her thirds in her late husband's house and lands in Salem, and she joined the Salem church 28 Mar. 1703. Her son William, when he proved his father's will at Exeter, co. Devon, 6 Nov. 1705, made oath that he had a general letter of attorney from his mother.
WilHam Bowditch "of the psh of Thorncombe in the county of Deavon clothier" made liis will 31 Mar. 1671, intending "to goe to sea in the good shipp called the John belonging to the port of Topsom [Topsham] hi the county afforesaid." In this will he mentions his wife, his son William, and his two daughters, Sarah and Johanna, and he makes his uncle Thomas Silvester, the husband of his aunt Kath- arine Silvester (4, ii), and his brother Daniel Bowditch (5, v) his supervisors. Originally the name of his "kinsman," George Gibbs, was written in the will as one of the supervisors, but this name was scratched out and that of liis brother, Daniel Bowditch, substituted for it.* The will was proved at Exeter, co. Devon, 6 Nov. 1705, more than thirty-four years after it was made, by his son William, to whom administration on his estate, with the will annexed, was granted.
In Nov. 1671, a few months after he had made his will in England, William Bowditch appears in Salem, Mass., for among the papers in the case of Capt. George Corwin v. Jon. Gifford, in which a verdict was given by the court held at Salem on 28 Nov. 1671, is an account of debts due from Mr. John Gifford in 1651, which was sworn to m the Salem court by Mr. Jonathan Corwm and Will. Bowditch. f He was one of the witnesses to a letter of attorney dated at Salem, 25 June 1673 :t and in a paper in a case m which a verdict was given by the court held at Salem on 30 June 1674 he' is referred to as in "Mr. Curen's" employ and is called "Mr. Bowdites."§ On 20 July 1675 he was Ucensed to retail strong water at Salem, and this license was renewed yearly from 1676 to 1680, inclusive. On IS July 1676 he was presented to the court for living apart from his wife, but he gave satisfaction and was dismissed. 'About 1679 his wife came to New England, bringing with her theur son William. On 20 Nov. 1679 WiSiam Bowditch mortgaged his land at Salem and his ketches to Philip Cromwell for £400, on 18 Oct. 1701 the mortgage was redeemed by his son and widow, and on 17 Nov. 1701 Sarah Bowditch, the widow, released to William Bowditch, only son and heu- of William Bowditch, her dower rights in the said land.

* This George Gibbs is probably identical with George Gibbs the Elder, of Clyst St. George, co. Devon, the testator of 1682/3, an abstract of whose will is given above. His exact relationship to William Bowditch has not been discovered. The Thorn- combe registers have the marriage of William Gibbs and Elizabeth Bowditch, 3 Oct. 1582, and that of William Bowditch and Joan Gibbs, 1 May 1666. Many Gibbs entries may be found in the Registers of Clyst St. George, co. Devon, published by the Parish Register Society, London, 1899.

Bowditch entries through the year 1700, no record of his birth or baptism has been found, although there are many "Bowdidge" entries in these registers in that period. The relationship, if any existed, of these Bowdidges with the Bowditch family of Thorncombe, co. Devon, has not been established. Transcripts of the earlier pariah registers of Lyme-Regis for scattered years from 1594 to 1635, inclusive, are preserved at Salisbury, co. Wilts, but they contain no Bowditch entries whatsoever.
* If the age given on the tombstone is correct, he was born in Aug. or Sept. 1663; but it is more hkely that his birth date as computed from his deposition of 1699 is to be accepted.

NOTES
It haviner oome to the attention of this Society that oertain genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society in connection -with their own enterprises, the Society again de- sires to state that it has NO genealogical representettives in this country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any publications other than those that it issues over its own name at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
Hitchborn-Fadre. — On page 156 of the present volume of the Reqister Thomas Hitchbom, bom in Boston 30 June 1708, son of Thomas and Frances (Patteshall) Hitchbom, is said to have married in Boston, 14 Jan. 1734/5, Hannah Fadre. This marriage appears in the Boston records under date of 14 Jan. 1734, and an intention of marriage between Thomas Hitchbom Jun. and Hanah Fadry is recorded on 6 Feb. 1730 [1730/1]. In Suffolk Deeds, however, lib. 88, fo. 112, the Christian name of Thomas Hitchbom's wife is given, 9 Feb. 1756, as Isannah, this being the first record of this Thomas Hitchbom in the Suffolk Deeds. Now the Boston records give the marriage of Nathaniel Fadrey and Susana Pitman,
20 Nov. 1704, and the birth of Nathaniel, son of Nathanll. Fadree and Isanna his wife, 23 Apr. 1706, of Isanna, daughter of Nathanll. Fadree and Isanna his wife,
21 Apr. 1712, and of William, son of Nathanll. Fadroe and Isanna his wife, 2 Jan. 1714 [7 1714/15]. The name Isannah is still found among the descendants of this Thomas Hitchbom, and according to family tradition was originally Isanne. In view, therefore, of the records and the family tradition referred to above and of the survival of the name Isanna in the family, it seems probable that the wife of Nathaniel Fadrey, whom he married 20 Nov. 1704, was Isanna (not Susana) Pitman, and that the wife of Thomas Hitchbom, whom he married 14 Jan. 1734/5, was the Isanna Fadree who was bom 21 Apr. 1712. A mistake in enter- ing the Christian names in the original records or in transcribing them later may have led to the name Isanna appearing as Susana in the marriage record of 1704, as Hanah in the marriage intention of 1730/1, and as Hannah in the marriage record of 1734/5. According to family tradition the sumame Fadre, with its other forms as given in the Boston records, was formerly Fadreau or Feydeau.

Historical Intelligence
Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that every person interested, bv reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter of record that any original settler in this country inherited a coat of arms or that any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the arms for record with this Society," etc.
The Committee beheves that the importance of the results possible to be attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they eamestly request all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which they beUeve to be eligible to make appUcation for recording them. The cost of painting the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap- phcants, and the Committee has determined that $3.00 for each coat will barely suffice.
This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded with the application. If the application is rejected the money will be returned
1918] Recent Books 247
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof. The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altogether, and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.
It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases in size, there will be man-y other things of extreme interest contributed with the arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals, manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for fihng such contributions in supplementary volumes in connection mth the registers of the arms. Applica- tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements inaicated in the report of the Committee wiU be placed in a separate volume to await further proof.
Printed directions for the making of appHcations may be obtained from the Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash- burton Place, Boston.
Graves of Connecticut Soldiers. — From George Seymour CJodard, M.A., State Librarian of Connecticut, the Register learns that Hartford (Conn.) Camp 50, Sons of Veterans, through its Secretary, Charles R. Hale of East Hart- ford, has been engaged for two years in attempting to locate and mark the graves of the soldiers of the wars in which Connecticut has been engaged, as found in the cemeteries in the towns of Hartford County. Effort is being made to locate the graves of those who served in the Colonial Wars, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, and the Spanish War. Work has progressed very satisfactorily in the following towns: Hartford, Avon, Bloomfield, Burlington, East Hartford, Farmington, Glastonbury^, Newington, Rocky Hill, South Windsor (where the graves of fifty-one Revolutionary soldiers and seventy- three Civil War veterans have already been located). West Hartford, and Wethers- field. Work in Manchester and Marlborough is to be taken up next.
Each grave is numbered, and a brief note is made, giving the name, date of death, and organization to which the deceased belonged. A blue print is then made of the plot of each cemetery, showing the location of such graves, with the name, service, and date of death.
In addition to the copy kept in the records of Camp 50 it is intended to furnish copies of this chart to the town clerks, to those having in charge the placing of flags on Memorial Day in the several towns of Hartford County, and to the Adjutant General of the State. The ori^nal drawing will be placed in the Con- necticut State Library; and on this additions may be made from time to time and from it additional copies may be printed.
Another object of Mr. Hale's work is to have all graves now unmarked properly marked bv suitable headstones furnished by the State, if necessary.
it should be stated that Mr. Hale's services are volunteered.
