FOREWORD
It is encouraging to note the progress which the
study of genealogy has made within the last decade,
which may be said to mark an epoch in the family his-
tory of New England. Books like those which Mr.
Pope has compiled are invaluable as aids to this study,
since they furnish important clues to the genealogist,
which he could not obtain except by long research in
public and private archives alone familiar to experts
like Mr. Pope.
The Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire aims to
give such particulars as are accessible of the founders
of these states, and, in many cases, all the particulars
which exist ; many, it is true, most meagre ; but any one
who has sought through scores of obscure registers and
volumes difficult to reach, knows what the finding of a
single name sometimes means to him, for it often set-
tles a mooted point which nothing else can do.
An examination of "The Pioneers" will convince stu-
dents of the extent and value of Mr. Pope's researches,
and insure him their gratitude. These students are not
at all confined to New England, but are scattered over
the entire Union, for it is in our old colonial settlements
that the roots of American Family History are to be
found.

Brackets, [ ], are used in two ways: i. They enclose the author-
ity or source of a statement, or a reference to some book or docu-
ment which may well be read in the connection, t. They are also
used to enclose words or statements which are believed to be cor-
rect, but for which the writer has not found absolute documentary
evidence.
SPECIAL DIRECTIONS FOR SEARCHERS
1. Observe many variations of surnames. One must some-
times look on several pages before discovering a desired name.
Not only did public recorders vary the orthography, but a man
sometimes spelled his own name in two or more ways.
2. Always consult the other names mentioned in an article
and th6 Index of Other Names.
3. Note the Abbreviations employed, since many lines of
original record have sometimes been compressed into one word
or line in this volume.
4. The source from which a statement has been drawn can
be inferred in most cases from its nature; as proprietorship and
town office from town records; church membership, dismission,
etc., from those of the churches; purchase and sale of lands
from county Records of Deeds; depositions, giving age, etc.,
from records or files of the Courts or Colonies; designations of
trade, occupation or social position were usually given in deeds,
but sometimes in records of admission to churches; wills and
administrations of estates in Probate Records or those of the
County or Colony. When an item was found in an unusual
place, the source has been noted.
J. The dates are given as they were recorded. March 25
Was New Year's Day in England and her colonies in the seven-
(x)
teenth century. It is at once a blunder and a crime to alter such
dates to suit a calendar which our Forefathers did not use.
Their "style"' was just exactly "old style," not at all "new."
From January i to March 25, during which some other nations
used the new year number, they often wrote a double date; as
"3 February, 1621-2"; but February was still "moneth 12," and
even 24 March was in the old year, although the month, by an-
ticipation of "day 25," was "moneth i."
6. Maine and New Hampshire are treated as one because
in the origin of their settlements and their political history dur-
ing the period covered they were so nearly one people.

HILTON,
Edward, with his brother William and Mr. David Thomp-
son, fishmongers from London, began a plantation at Piscat-
aqua in 1623. [Hub.] Exhaustive search of the records of
the Fishmongers' Company of London, made by the compiler
in 1907, failed to find any occurrence of either of these names ;
but a tax-roll of the city, made in 1641, [Lay Sub. 251, 22],
brought to light by Mr. Gerald Fothergill, [Extracts in Reg.
LXI], gives the name of Edward Hilton in the list of fish-
cmongers, with the memorandum, "Newe England" after it.
This indicates that he had certainly been in business there
and had continued the shipment and sale of fish there up to a
recent date. No trace of his parish or family has been found,
nor the name of his first wife. He was the leader of the plan-
tation and received the patent for the land — The Squamscott
Patent, so-called, which covered what is now known as Dpver,
Durham, Stratham and parts of Newington and Greenland,
etc. The Council for New England, "for and in considera-
tion that Edward Hilton and his Associates hath already at
his and their own proper costs and charges transported sun-
dry servants to plant in New England at a point called by the
natives Wecanacohunt otherwise Hilton's Point, lying some
two leagues from the mouth of the River Pascataquack . . .
where they have already built some houses and planted corne.
And for that he doth further intend by God's Divine Assist-
ance to transport thither more people and cattle ... a work
which may especially tend to the propagation of Religion and
to the great Increase of Trade," . . . convey to him "all that
part of the River Pascataquack called or known by the name
of Wecanacohunt or Hilton's Point . . . with the south side of
the River up to the ffall of the River and three miles into the
Maine land by all the breadth aforesaid" etc., etc. Possession
was given in the name of the Council by Capt. Thomas Wig-
gin and others 7 July, 1631. [Sup. Court Files, also Reg.
XXIV, 264.] Part of this land was sold to individual settlers,
part to the lords Say and Brook and some N. E. gentlemen.
Mr. Hilton made his home after some time at Exeter ; signed
petition of inhabitants in 1642. Was that year appointed by the
Mass. Bay govt, one of the local associate justices of the Court,
sitting with the magistrates on the highest questions and act-
ing by themselves in cases not beyond certain limits. The
Gen. Court held him to be exempt from taxation on this ac-
count in 1669. He filled many important positions and was
regarded highly. He m. (2) (j|^ "dau. of Mr. Alexander
97
Shapleigh and widow of James Treworgy, q. v. He d. before '
March 6, 1 670-1, when admin, of his estate was granted to his
sons Edward, William, Samuel and Charles; the claims of
two daus. were presented by Christopher Palmer. Widow's
dower to be £30 per quarter.
William, came in the Fortune to Plymouth in Nov. 1621.
His wife and children came in the Anne in 1623, and lands
were assigned to the family that year. Mr. Hilton wrote soon
after his arrival a letter of great historical and personal value
which was published by Capt John Smith in his "New Eng-
land's Trialls" in the edition of 1622. The name of the per-
son addressed has not yet been found. He tells his "Cousin''
(nephew) that he "found all our friends and planters in good
health" in spite of trials they had endured ; the land and pro-
ductions excellent; "the companie for the most part very re-
ligious, honest people ; the word of God sincerely taught us
every "Sabbath : so that I know not anything a contented mind
can here want." Adds to the account the following wish : "I
desire your friendly care to send my wife and children to me
where I wish all the friends I have in England." Signs him-
self "Your loving kinsman William Hilton." Other letters
of his are extant which show him to have been well educated
and eminently intelligent and well-informed. His family stayed
at Plymouth after he began the plantation at Piscataqua, and
the baptizing of his babe by Rev. John Lyford, a thorn in the
sides of the Puritan Pilgrims, was the occasion of the banish-
ment of the Church of England partisans from Plymouth col-
ony to Nantasket. But the letter above quoted from is evi-
dence that Mr. Hilton was on the best of terms with the Pil-
grims. His son William, years afterward, applying for con-
firmation of a deed of land near the present city of Concord,
N. H., from the Indian sagamore Tahanto, affirms that his
father removed from Plymouth in a short time after the ar-
rival of his mother and the children. Mr. Hilton threw his
influence on the side of the Mass. Bay govt. ; was appointed a
commissioner for trial of cases not above 20 shillings in 1642;
freeman of the colony that year ; deputy to Gen. Court in 1644.
He resided near his brother in the vicinity of Dover some
years ; then rem. to Kittery and afterward to York. Carried
on a ferry ; kept public house ; was one of the selectmen, etc.
He d. before June 30, 1656, when his widow Frances' second
husband, Richard White, admin, on his estate.
A possible clue to the connections of the Hiltons with Eng-
lish families may be found in the fact that a suit was brought
'98
in Pise. Court by William Hilton, 4 (2) 1643, respecting a
payment to "Mr. Righard Hilton of Northwich" ; Mr. Waters
fouijti, a,rec,Qrd.at..Wotten-under-edge, Glouc, of the baptism
of a child of this man, "coming out of New Eftgland." [See

SHAPLEIGH, SHAPLEY,
Alexander, merchant, from Kingsweare, co. Devon, came
to the Piscataqua valley at a very early day. He is said
184
by some writers to have been an agent of Gorges ; but of this
no evidence appears in our records. He carried on a large
amount of fishing, trading, and his grandson, John Treworgy,
called at Richmond Island in 1640, doing business in Mr.
Shapleigh's name. [Trel.] He was a resident of New Eng-
land when he sold to his son in law James Treworgy all his
lands, boats, houses, etc. in N. E. May 26, 1642. While his
dwelling may have been at Strawberry Bank, he had grants
of land at Kittery; and finding that Nicholas Frost had re-
ceived too little marsh for his stock of cattle, he gave him
the 5 acres of marsh which had been allotted to himself.
Testified 31 May, 1643. [York De. I.]
Children: i. Katherine, m. (i) James Treworgy; m. (2)
Edward Hilton. She must have been much older than her
brother Nicholas, as she said in a petition on his behalf to
the General Court of Mass. Bay, May 7, 1674, referring,
probably, to his being deprived of a mother in infancy, "I
nursed him at my breast (which I canot forgett)"; she .also
refers to her father thus : "About 38 years since, m a time
of great scarcity, our ffather laid out a good estate for the
supply of this Countrey and the settling some part of it. &
in a season of there want supplyed them soe reasonably with
provisions, that it was thankfully receipted, & acknowledged
by the authority then in being," etc. [Mass. Arch. 106.]
ii. John, who remained in England while his son John
came over here and acted as agent for his grandfather; iii.
Nicholas, also a merchant at Kingsweare, Devon, who came
over here as early as 1641, when he bought lands, houses,
fishing coast, etc. of his brother in law Treworgy. He lived
at Boston and Charlestown from about 1645 till about 1648,
when he was a citizen and a town ofiicer of Kittery. He was
"instrumental by an order to some of Road Hand to make
seizure of certain persons" about 1674, in consequence of
which he was arrested and imprisoned at Boston in 1674;
and at that time his sister sent down the petition mentioned
above. He was soon released. His descendants have been
numerous.

THOMPSON, THOMSON, TOMPSON, TOMSON,
Mr. David, who, with the Hiltons, founded New Hamp-
shire, was a fishmonger at London, though of Scotch
birth, and came to Piscataqua in 1623 "to begin a planta-
tion," as Hubbard tells us. The phrase implies that he had
such companions and furnishings as would be adapted to
shore life as well as the fishing business; probably none of
the company brought their wives and children at first but
had them brought over on later voyages of the ships which
carried fish and other commodities back to England. Cap-
tain Thompson doubtless made many voyages across the
ocean as well as coastwise. Bradford tells of his going along
with some Plymouth men to "Damarinscove" to traffic for
the goods of a ship-wrecked Frenchman in 1626, mention-
ing him as then dwelling at Piscataqua. Not far from that
time he went to Boston harbor and bought an island called
204
Trevour's Island, which was afterward called by his own
name, and erected, a habitation there. He died not long after
that date, according to testimony given in Court when the
title of the island was confirmed to the son in 1648.
He married at Plymouth, Eng. July 13, 1613, Amyas Colle
(Amias Cole) who survived him and married second Mr.
Samuel Maverick, who was at Boston Bay about 1625 and
came into possession of the island called Noddle's Island,
now East Boston. Mrs. Maverick joined her second husband
in a deed in 1632; in 1633 she wrote a letter to Mr. Robert
Trelawney, alluding to her first husband's friendship for him
and to her "fatherless children" by Mr. Thompson. The
only one of these children known to us is John, who obtained
the island above-mentioned after it had been in the posses-
sion of citizens of Dorchester and its income the foundation
of the free school of that town in 1641. So the name of
Thomson was prominent in the pioneer annals of two
colonies.
It is particularly suitable that New-Hampshire people
should honor the memory of this enterprising man.
Miles, Senior, carpenter, Kittery, signed the petition to
Cromwell in 1657; was one of the selectmen in 1659. Bought
land adjoining to some previously possessed of John Mor-
rall, plasterer, 12 May, 1663; bought other land in partner-
ship with Israel Hodgsden, of Abraham Tilton and Mary
his wife. Deeded land Dec. 4, 1694, to sons Bartholomew
and Thomas, the latter to maintain himself and his wife Ann.
Rev. William, some time curate of the church at Win-
wick, Eng. came to this land in 1636 or 1637. Joined the
church of Dorchester, Mass. of which his friend Rev. Rich-
ard Mather was pastor. Preached a while at Accomenticus,
[Kittery] ; removed to Braintree, Mass. and was installed as
pastor with Rev. Henry Flint as teacher, Nov. 19, 1639. He
was "a very gracious, sincere man, — an instrument of much
good, — a man of much faith." [W.] See P. of M.
Note. In Piscataqua Files there is a well written letter
from "Sam: Thomsonn," dated at "Taunton, March, 27th,
205
i66o," addressed to "Deare Brother & Sister." He had re-
ceived letters from them 4 and 2 years since, but none this
spring. They had ordered cloth of him, which was to be
sent by Mr. John Payne. He had rode to Cheriton to confer
with his uncle White about sending it. He now sends "3
karsyes," i. e. pieces of kersey cloth ; directed to one Mr.
Reynes in New England for them. He supposes that they
"and all my cousins and their little ones are in good health,
though my cousin William Thompson writt not a word of
it." Hopes "my cousin John's children are with you, and
that you are a father and mother to them." Is sorry to learn
of the death of "cousin Esther." His own son Samuel is
in school in Ilminster, and almost "fitt for Oxford"; his
"daughter Mall is a religious and vertuous young woman."
This letter may prove very valuable as a means of dis-
covering the relationship of several American families to
their English connections. The great variety in the spelling
of names at that period is here illustrated by the "Thomsonn"
of the signature and the "Thompson" of a cousin's name.
The "cousin William" who had recently written but failed
to give all family news, calls to mind the Braintree parson,
though without any real evidence of identity.
"A maid," of this name came to Richmond Island about
1639; was drowned. [Trel.]
THORPE,
Rev. John, Scarborough, witnessed a deed of Robert Jor-

WHITE, WHYTE, WHITTE, WHIT,
John, yeoman, with James Phipps, (father of Gov. Wil-
liam Phipps,) bought of Edward Bateman of Kennebec "a
certain large tract of land near the river of Kennebec at. a
place called Negwusset, lying between that and the river
called Munsweague which was the easterly bound ; there they
lived many years, built houses and otherwise improved it,
and died seized of the whole except a certain neck of land
called Jeremiah Squam's Neck which they sold in 1679 to
Sr. Wm. Phipps."
His wife died and he m. before Oct. 4, 1679, Mary, widow
of his partner James Phipps.
Sir Wm. Phipps' legatee Mary claimed the tract — "Chery-
sequamy neck" — "as by deed from John White and Mary
his wife formerly the wife of James Phipps of Kennebeck
deceased; dated Oct. 4, 1679." [Me. H. and G. Reg. VIII,
202.]
He died before 1722, when his son Peter, then of Milton,
Mass. sold one half of his portion, which was two fifths of
the moiety or half of the tract, to Paul Dudley. He testi-
fied to the foregoing facts and that his father had eight chil-
dren of whom four had died without issue. His portion was
that of the eldest son. [York Deeds XI, 15.] Perhaps Paul
White, taxed at Milton, Mass. 1681-3, was another of those
children. Peter gave his age as 67 in 1727, which places his
birth about 1660; as William Phipps is known to have been
born in 1650 we may locate the partners on the tract before
that date.
John, Kittery, about 1638; servant of Alexander Shap-
leigh; knew of the setting of bounds between Shapleigh and
Nicholas Frost at Sturgeon Creek meadow. So he deposed
19 Dec. 1662, being then about 58 years old. Deposed also

WIGGIN, WIGAN, WIGGINS, WIGON,
Captain, Thomas, gent. [L.] whose birth-place has eluded
search, may be the person of whom Sir John Drake wrote
from Barnstaple, England, Jan. 6, 1627; "Captain Thomas
Wigan desires a letter of marque against the French"; this
was addressed to the secretary of state, and is noted in In-
232
dex to Pari. Docs. Dom. ser. Charles I, vol. XLVII, 7.
But the Piscataqua man stands clearly before us as one of
the witnesses to the possession of land under patent to Old-
ham and Vines, in Maine, 25 JunCj 1630. Another proof of
his presence here at that time comes in the letter of John
Humphrey, Esquire, one of the Massachusetts Bay company,
to his brother in law, Isaac Johnson, Esquire, from London,
Dec. 9, 1630: "For Mr. Wiggin & your thoughts concerning
him & those who set him on worke, I think you will hear
little more. Yet your letter shall be delivered, ... I purpose
this morning to goe to Mr. Downing to advise about it."
[Winthrop Letters, Mass. Hist. Coll. XXXVI, 3.] The his-
torian Hubbard says that "Bristol and Shrewsbury men''
planted a colony on the upper part of the Piscataqua in 1631,
"under Captain Wiggans." The Captain again witnessed the
giving of possession of a patent, this time to Lewis and Bony-
thon, in Maine, Jan. 28, 1631-2. "Captain Wiggans went
back for England the next year," Hubbard continues, "and
soon after returned with more ample power and means to
promote what was in hand. The Bristol men had in the
mean time sold their interest (which was two thirds) in the
said plantation to the Lord Say and the Lord Brook, one to
Mr. Willis, and Mr. Whiting, who likewise employed Cap-
tain Wiggans to act in their behalf for the space of seven
years next following; the Shrewsbury men still retaining
their own share. After the time was expired, the advance
not being much, the whole was prised but at 600 li. and sold to
Captain Wiggans ; which he paid at a vary easy rate, as some
of his neighbors have used to say."
Captain Wiggin remained in charge of the "Dover and
Squamscot" patent, including Dover, Exetef and outlying
lands, till about 1639, when Rev. George Burdett, (successor
of Rev. William Leverich, the first minister of the colony)
worked himself into the favor of the people, and assumed
control, though with no legal authority. The coming of Rev.
John Wheelwright and his associates to settle Exeter, to-
gether with the agitation by Mass. Bay people of the question
233
whether that town was not within their jurisdiction, all
operated to incline the Captain toward acknowledgement of
their claims; and he became the most important factor in
the extension of the Mass. government over both New Hamp-
shire and Maine. But this was no sudden freak. As far
back as the year 1632 when in England on business connected
with his own colony, Captain Wiggin had written two mem-
orable letters, one to Mr. Downing, touching Sir Christopher
Gardiner's fiasco and another matter of some importance to
New England; the other to Sir John Cooke, principal secre-
tary, testifying to the great value of New England as a profit-
able place for plantations, and especially showing the high
character of Gov. John Winthrop and the people of "the
Mattachusetts." [Mass. Hist. Coll. 3d. S., VHI.]
This testimony was given at a critical moment in the af-
fairs of the Bay colony. Gov. Winthrop, in his History, thus
describes it: "Feb. 22, 1632-3, ..We had intelligence from
our friends in England that Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Cap-
tain Mason (upon the instigation of Sir Christopher Gar-
diner, Morton and Ratcliffe,) had preferred a petition to the
lords of the privy council against us, charging us with many
false accusations ; but through the Lord's good providence
and the care of our friends in England, (especially Mr.
Emanuel Downing who had married the governor's sister,)
and the good testimony given on our behalf by one Capt.
Wiggin, who dwelt at Pascataquack and had been divers
times among us, their malicious practice took not eflfect."
The friendly service thus voluntarily rendered by Capt.
Wiggin was never forgotten. And when Massachusetts
needed a man to superintend the pacification of the colonists
about the Pisoataqua and along the coast of Maine, they
naturally turned to him. He was commissioned first as an
Assistant, then as a presiding judge, then as commissioner
for adjustment of all manner of problems arising in the as-
sumption of authority in new plantations. It is fair to say
that he was the most important man in the whole business of
uniting the colonies of upper New England.
234
He was also a deputy to the Gen. Court at Boston, and in
his magisterial capacity performed the marriage ceremony,
attested documents, etc. in Massachusetts as well as in New
Hampshire and Maine. He had grants of land from the
Gen. Court in addition to what he had reed, from the Paten-
tees and had purchased. He carried on milling and farming
operations. 23 May, 1656, "Captain Wiggan, having been
imployed by the Gen" Court with other gent, to bring in the
easterne plantations, as a gfratuitie in respect of his service,
hath the grant of two hundred acors of land uppon the river
that leads up to Cochechawicke,'' etc. The committee ap-
pointed to lay out his tract reported April 28, 1659, that they
had laid it out "near the head of the littell river caled the
back river."
He and his son Thomas sold land April 25, 1662"; he made
a power of attorney to Thomas March 21, 1662-3. With wife
Katharine he gave a marriage portion to son Andrew 4 June,
1663. The 30th of that month he attended court for the last
time ; a year later he was unable even to reach the "ordinary"
without help, as a neighbor testified who had failed to reach
his place in the grand jury that day by reason of assisting
"his worp." i. e. "his worship," the title of the magistrate.
He kept his lands apart from any town association many
years, holding aloof from participation in town meetings or
in the support of the ministry or other public affairs; proba-
bly deeming his state duties and charges heavy enough, and
owning a tract large enough to constitute a "plantation" of
itself. But at length public opinion prevailed against him, and
he became a tax-payer in Exeter.
He married Katharine — , who may have been a sister of
Mr. William Whiting of Hartford, one of the proprietors of
the Squamscot patent. At all events, Mr. Whiting made a
bequest "to my sister Wiggen 5 li. and unto her children 3
H. apiece," in his will dated March 20, 1643. Children,
Thomas, Andrew, Mary, all bapt. at Hampton Sept. 20, 1641.
The latter married George Vesey.
He made will 16 June, 1664, which was probated in Hamp-
23s
ton court in "1666." He bequeathed to his wife Katherine
certain articles and whatever debts were due him and all
goods not heretofore or herein given; certain bequests to
sons Andrew and Thomas who have already had their por-
tions, and to daugher Mary, for whom 150 pounds had been
previously set apart in the deed to Andrew.

WINGFIELD,
Thomas, Dover, witness to a deed of Obediah Bruen in
1642.
WINTER,
Johnj mariner, of Plymouth, England, deserves to be
honored as one of the most efficient and persevering pioneers
who came forth from old England in the seventeenth cen-
tury. Intense in his convictions, severe in his antagonisms,
rugged in manners, he was yet deeply devoted to what he
regarded as the principles of divine and human right.
Mr. Robert Trelawney, holding a patent for the island
which had somehow received the name "Richman" or
"Richmond" Island, remained in Plymouth to receive what-
ever profits could be made from the land and water over
which he had received control; but Mr. John Winter, who
had passed that apprenticeship of years by which alone a
man in those days could be termed ''mariner," bade adieu
to the easy life of home and sailed across the ocean, then
so broad — and toiled at the head of a band of toilers. He
not only superintended the fishing operations, by which sev-
eral ships a year were laden and sent home; he also looked
to the cultivation of the soil on the island and ashore, train-
ing many men for their own farming, and making that island
the nursery of Maine's grand husbandry and the pioneer
shipyard of the state. More ; he and Trelawney corresponded
in a style that shows the good business habits of both; and
the letters thus written form the first book of real history of
the people of "The Pine Tree State."
Right here let respect be paid to that citizen of Maine, Mr.
James Phinney Baxter, by whose scholarly research and mu-
nificent use of well-earned wealth these "Trelawney Papers"
were brought out of their hiding in England and placed in
fitting form before historical students ; and let passing tribute
be given to the Maine Historical Society, whose Collections,
so rich in treasures of this class, have embraced this remark-
ably valuable compilation.
240
John Winter received a power of attorney with Thomas
Pomery i8 Jan. 1631, and in the summer following, — July
21 and 30, 1632, he received possession of the Casco land and
islands from Richard Vines. His letters extant begin 11
July, 1633; but he had been here before, as we must infer
from many notes in the letters and accounts. Really the
year 1630 may be taken as the beginning of Winter's opera-
tions on this coast, probably.
He left his family in England at first ; asked Mr. Trelawney
to pay money to his wife and daughter Mary Coulinge; re-
ferred to his daughter Sarah. Mrs. Winter and Sarah came
over in 1639. He drew on Trelawney 15 June, 1642, for 15
li. to be paid to his daughter Mary Hooper, to whom he wrote
13 June, 1644; tells of the marriage of daughter Sarah to
Rev. Robert Jordan 5 months before ; mentions his son John
Winter, and tells of receiving a letter from him since he
came from the East India to England.
The inventory of his estate was taken and appraised by
George Cleve, William Ryall and Henry Watts 10 Oct. 1648,
by order of the Lygonia Assembly, at the request of Rev.
Robert Jordan; it was attested before the commissioners of
Massachusetts July 16, 1658.

one half of his farm 25 April, 1671, to his daughter Sarah
on her marriage to John Shapleigh ; and other lands 30 July,
1675, to daus. Elizabeth and Mary.
He and his wife Jane, "being of great age," and "waxing
antient," gave their cows and sheep to their daughter Eliza-
beth 22 Dec. 1684; William Heynes testified 13 April, 1685,
that this deed was written by him and signed by Mr. With-
