ADAM.

ADAM. — The surname of Adam is of great anti-
quity in Scotland, as proved by many documents in the
public records. Duncan Adam, son of Alexander Adam,
lived in the reign of King Robert Bruce, and had four
sons, Robert, John, Reginald, and Duncan, from whom
all the Adams, Adamsons, and Adies, in Scotland are
descended.

For the American ancestor see Adam Genealogy,
1848, by William Adam.

ADAMS. — This family is very numerous both in
England and America, and owing to the similarity and
repetition of Christian names it is almost impossible to
locate all the original settlers. By far the largest number
are descendants of Henry Adams of Braintree. This
family claims descent in a direct line from Ap. Adam
who came out of the " Marches of Wales."*

The earliest record of the English branch of the
Adam's family is that of John Ap Adam, of Charlton.
Adam in Somersetshire, who married Elizabeth, daughter
of and heiress to John Lord Gourmy, of Beviston and
Tidenhaur, County of Gloucester, who was summoned to

#t>ams.

*Lords of the Marches were noblemen, who in the
early ages inhabited and secured the Marches of Wales
and Scotland, ruling as if they were petty kings, with
their private laws, these were subsequently abolished.

Parliament as Baron of the Realm, 1296 to 1307. In the
upper part of a Gothic window on the southeast side of
Sidenham church, near Chopston, the name of Jones
Ab Adam, 1310; and " Arms, argent on a cross gules five
mullets or," of Lord Ap Adam, are still to be found
beautifully excented in stained glass of great thickness
and in perfect preservation.

This is probably one of the oldest church edifies in
England. It originally stood within -the boundary of
Wales, but at a later period, the boundary line was
changed, and it now stands on England soil.

HENRY ADAMS, of Braintree, (now Quincy),
Mass., was the progenitor of the largest branch of the
Adams family in this country. He is said to have
emigrated to New England about 1634, and on Feb.
1641, was granted forty acres of land by the town of
Boston, of which Braintree was then a part. He brought
with him eight sons, and was the great-great-grand-
father of John Adams, second President of the United
States, who erected a granite column to his memory in
the churchyard at Braintree, on which was inscribed the
following :

In memory of Henry Adams, who took his flight
from the Dragon of persecution in Devonshire, England,
and alighted with eight sons near Mount Walloston.
One of the sons returned to England, and after taking
some time to explore the country, four removed to Med-
field and the neighboring towns; two to Chelmsford.
One only, Joseph, who lies here at his left hand, re-
mained here, who was an original proprietor in the
township of Braintree, 1639.

This stone and several others have been placed in
this yard by a great-grandson from a veneration of the
piety, humility, sympathy, prudence, patience, temper-
ance, frugality, industry, and perseverance of his ances-
tors, in hope of recommending an emulation of their
virtues to their posterity.

The children oi Henry Adams of Braintree. were:

HENRY (2), born 1604; settled at Medfield, Mass.

THOMAS, born in England, 1612; settled at
Chelmsford, Mass.

SAMUEL, born 1617, settled at Chelmsford, died

JOSEPH, of Braintree, now Quincy, Mass., who
died and was buried there.

EDWARD, born 1620, settled at Medfield; died
1716.

Ursula, named in her father's will.

Among the other branches of the Adams family of
which there does not appear to be any direct connection
are:

JOHN, who came to Plymouth in the ship "For-
tune," November 11, 1621.

WILLIAM, of Cambridge, 1635; removed to Ips-
wich, Mass., before 1642.

ARMSTRONG.

Tradition states that the original surname of this
family was Fairbairn, and that it was changed to Arm-
strong on the following occasion: An ancient King of
Scotland having his horse killed under him in battle,
was immediately remounted by Fairbairn (a man of
powerful physique,) on his horse. For his timely as-
sistance the king amply rewarded him with lands on the
Borders, and to perpetuate the memory of so important
a service, as well as the manner in which it was performed
(for Fairbairn took the king by the thigh and set him
on the saddle,) his royal master gave him the appellation
of Armstrong — strong-of-arm — and assigned him for a
crest " an armed hand and arm, in the hand a leg and
foot in armour, cbuped at the thigh — all ppr." The
most complete coat armour of the family of the present
time is Arms — Sable three dexter arms conjoined at the
shoulders and flexed in triangle or, turned up (or cuffed)
argent, the hands clenched ppr. Crest — A dexter arm
vambraced in armour, argent the hand ppr. Motto — Vi
et armis.

BACON.

Of this family Burke says: " Various conjectures have
been hazarded as to the origin of Bacon, but to little
purpose. But it matters not, the antiquity of the family
is beyond dispute; and there are few houses in the
kingdom more distinguished by the production of great
and eminent men. Besides Friar Bacon, the marvel of
his day, Sir Nicholas Bacon, and the great Lord Bacon,
there were five other extraordinary personages of the
same family."

This family bore Arms — Gules on a chief argent two
mullets, pierced, sable. Crest — A boar, passant, ermine.
Afotfo— Mediocria firma.

ANDREW BACON, of Hartford, Conn., one of the
original proprietors, born, probably, in Rutlandshire,
Eng., had, perhaps, been of Cambridge. He was a rep-
resentative 1642 to '56, and soon after removed to Had-
ley, Mass., and died 1669. His wife Elizabeth was
widow of Timothy Standley.

is called son of William of the parish of Stretton, County
Rutland, Eng. By wife Ann, daughter of Thomas Mil- .
ler, he had Nathaniel, 1655, Hannah, Andrew, Nathaniel
again, 1659, whose name was changed for Thomas; John,
Andrew again, Abigail, Lydia. He was a nephew of
Andrew and had part of his uncle's estate.

WILLIAM BACON, of Salem, Mass., 1640. He had
married Rebecca, daughter of Thomas Porter, and had
Isaac, 1641, and William. He died in 1653. They lived
in Dublin, and on the outbreak of the Irish rebellion, she
was sent over here, says tradition, and her husband fol-
lowed her.

MICHAEL or MIGELL BACON, of Dedham, Mass.,
1640, brought, it is said, from Ireland four children,
Michael, Daniel, John and Samuel.

BRADFORD :— Governor William Bradford, of ' the .
Mayflower, was the progenitor of nearly, if not quite, all?

54

GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA.

the Bradfords of New England. No connection direct has
been traced between him and William Bradiord, the Quak-
er printer of Philadelphia and New York.

The name of Bradford is derived from the Saxon Brad-
enford, or Broadenford, and is doubtless very ancient.
Two towns of considerable size in England are known by
this name — one in Wiltshire near Bath ; the other in York-
ham near Leeds. The latter is supposed to have been the
locality from whence originated the great founder of the
name in the United States.

The family was doubtless one of considerable antiquity.
With the exception of three or four generations previous
to that of Gov. Bradford, little is known of the early his-
tory of the family. The fact that Burke gives twelve dif-
ferent coats of arms .belonging to the Bradfords is an evi-
dence that they were a family of some distinction. The
Yorkshire and Wiltshire branches of the family have the
arms as those described as belonging to the Governor
William Bradford line, viz : Arms — Argent on a fesse
sable three stags' heads erased. Crest — A stag's head
erased or.

Governor William Bradford,' son of William and
Alice (Hanson) Bradford, was born in the village of Aus-
terfield, Yorkshire, England, March 29, 1590. His father
died the following year, and he was then adopted into the
family of his grandfather, William, and after the latter's
death in 1596, he was placed in the family of his uncle,
Robert. He early became associated with Elder William
Brewster and other non-conformists, and when but eigh-
teen years of age he suffered imprisonment in Boston,
Lincolnshire, for his religious belief. He finally escaped
and reached Holland, where he apprenticed himself to a
Frenchman, who taught him the art of silk weaving, and
soon after reaching his majority he started in business for
himself. His first marriage to Do'rothy May, of Witez-
buts, England, took place Nov. 13, 1613. The "bans"
were published in Leyden, announcing the coming mar-
riage as follows: November 15, 1613, William Bradford
fustian maker, young man from Osterfeldt in England,
affianced to Dorothy May frorn W et ezbuts, England,
There was a sad ending to this his' first love, for soon
after the arrival of the Mayflower, and while her husband
was absent on an expedition around Cape Cod Harbor.
Dorothy fell overboard and was drowned.

From this. time forward William Bradford's part in the
fortunes of the community were important and powerful.
After the first Governor, William Carver, died, Bradford
was elected to that office, which he held by annual election
until his death, excepting the years 1633, '34, '36, '38 and
'44. He took a prominent part in all the councils which
were held at his house, and in all the affairs, civic, political
and military. From his house at the foot of Burial Hill,
each Sabbath morning the little company of worshipers,
who all assembled there, marched in procession up the
steep ascent to its top, where the religious services were
held.

One of Gov. Bradford's first acts on assuming the ex-
ecutive was to send an embassy, July, 1621, to confirm the
league entered into with the Indian Sachem Massasoit, the
most influential and powerful of the native chiefs. His
friendly relations with the Indians, who had known the
English only as kidnappers, were essential to the continued
existence of the colony and its future prosperity. When
a famine threatened the colonists two years later, he ob-
tained assistance from the Indians.

In 1624 the Governor and his assistants were consti-
tuted a judicial court; and afterwards the supreme trib-
unal of the colony; in 1629 legislation, in which up to that
date all the freemen took part, was vested in the General
Court, to which all of the towns sent representatives.

In 1629 a patent was obtained from the New England
Council — a band of noblemen who in 1620 received from
King James absolute property in the country lying be-
tween 40 and 48 degrees of north latitude — conferring
upon William Bradford, his .heirs, associates and assigns
the title to the land on which Plymouth plantation was
situated. In 1640, at the request of the General Court,
Governor Bradford conveyed to it the title of the colony,
reserving to himself his proportion as a proprietor.

By his wife, Dorothy May, the Pilgrim Gov. Bradford
had only one child!

John Bradford born before the inauguration. He was
of Duxbury 1645, an d in 1652 he was a deputy to the Gen-
eral Court and a Lieutenant. He removed to Marshfield
and represented that town at the General Court in 1653.
He married Martha, daughter of Thomas and Martha
Bourne, and in 1653 removed to Norwich, Conn.

Gov. Bradford married 2d, Aug. 14, 1623, Alice, daugh-
ter of Alexander Carpenter of Wrentham, England, the
widow of Edward Southworth. By this marriage he had
William, Mercy and Joseph, ,

Major William Bradford, the oldest child of Governor
William and Alice (Southworth nee Carpenter) Bradford,
was born June 17, 1684. He was next to Miles Standish
the chief military man in the colony, and in the Indian
wars, in which he took a prominent part he held the rank
of Major. He was Assistant Treasurer and Deputy Gov-
ernor of Plymouth Colony from 1682 to 1686 and from
1689 to 1691, and the latter year was one of the Council
of Massachusetts. Pie married 1st Alice, daughter of

Thomas Richards; 2d, widow Wiswall. By his

William Bradford, the printer, son of William and
Annie Bradford, was born in Leicestershire, Eng., May
23, 1663; died in 1752. There'is no evidence that he was
immediately related to the Pilgrim, but both, no doubt,
had a common origin. He served an apprenticeship with
Andrew Sorole, printer and publisher of Quaker books
in Grace Church street, London. It is believed that he
came over with William Penn and his company in the ship
''Welcome." He was recommended as "a sober young
man who comes to Pennsylvania to set up the trade of
printing Friends' books," etc. In 1686 he published Bur-
nyeat's Epistle, with the imprint "Printed and sold by
William Bradford, near Philadelphia." He removed to
New York in 1693 and was appointed Royal Printer in
Oct., 1725. He established the New York Gazette, which
was the first newspaper printed in the colony. He was
buried by the side of his wife in Trinity church-yard, New
York city, where a simple slab marks his resting place.
His son Andrew, who learned the trade of his father and
became a partner, removed in 1712 to Philadelphia. On
Dec. 19, 1719, he published the first number of the
American Weekly Mercury — the first newspaper founded
in the Middle States, which he continued until his death.

William Bradford, Jr., brother of Andrew, born 1688,
was a printer and seaman. He served an apprenticeship
with his father, but, owing to failing health, adopted a
seafaring life. He had a son William.

William Bradford (3), son of William, Jr., was born
in New York City, 1719. He learned the art of printing
with his uncle Andrew and became his partner in 1739.
In 1742 he started the Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly
Advertiser. He earnestly espoused the cause of American
Independence and his paper bore as a heading from July,
' 1774, to Oct., 1775. a peculiar device .

He served as Major in a Philadelphia regiment of mil-
itia at the battle of Trenton, was wounded at Princeton,
and returned home as colonelof his regiment. He died in
Philadelphia, Sept. 25, 1791, and was buried in the Sec-
ond Presbyterian churchyard on Arch street.

BREWSTER: — Francis Brewster, of New Haven,
1640, came from London probably with his wife Lucy
and family, including nine persons. He is supposed to
have been the father of Nathaniel, who graduated in the

first class at Harvard 1642, and of Joseph. His widow
married Thomas Pell.

Nathaniel Brewster, son of Francis, of New Ha-
ven, went to England, where he was settled as a minister
at Abby, in County Norfolk. He returned and was set-
tled at Brookhaven in 1665. He married Sarah, daugh-
ter of Roger Ludlow ,and had John, Timothy, Daniel.

Elder William Brewster, of the "Mayflower," one
of the earliest of the distinguished Puritan laymen in
England, was probably born in 1563, at Scrooby, in Not-
tinghamshire, at the manor hall of which village belonged
to the archbishop of York. He afterwards long resided
at the same house at which Cardinal Woolsey had made
his last stop before reaching home in his final journey on
compulsory retirement from court, after banishment by
King Henry VIII. Elder Brewster was of good family,
his coat of arms being identical with that of the ancient
Suffolk branch. He entered Cambridge University and
remained there for a short time, and about 1584 entered
the service of William Davison, Ambassador, and after-
wards Secretary of State to Queen Elizabeth, and with
him visited the Netherlands, remaining in his service two
years. He then abandoned politics, devoted himself earn-
estly to the cause of religion and was the first prominent
layman who rejected conformity to the ceremonies of the
Church of England- He filled for a time the position of
postmaster at Scrooby, and continued until his associate
separatists had become obnoxious to the ecclesiastical
authorities, and in 1607 he embarked with them and his
young friend Bradford in a sloop at Boston, bound for
Holland, intending to flee the country. But the captain
of the vessel betrayed them and Brewster with others was
arrested, imprisoned and bound over for trial. In the
summer of 1608 he sailed from Hull and reached Am-
sterdam in safety. Having spent most of his substance
in effecting his own escape and aiding his poorer associ-
ates , he was obliged to resort to teaching for a living.
With the aid of friends he set up a printing press and
printed a series of religious books that were contraband
in England. He was ruling elder of the church at Leyden.

Through the assistance of his friend, Sir Edwin
Sandys, treasurer of the Virginia company, he obtained a
grant of land in North America, and in September, 1620,
he set sail in the "Mayflower" with the first company of
Pilgrims, landing at Plymouth Dec. 21, 1620.

Brewster was Ruling Elder of the church, and until
1629 acted as teacher and minister, enduring the hard-
ships of the memorable first winter with wonderful cour-
age and cheerfulness. His family which came on the
"Mayflower" consisted of his wife: Lucretia, wife of Jon-
athan, a son who came out in the "Fortune" in 1621, and
two sons, Wrestling and Love.

His daughters Patience and Fear came in the "Ann,"
1623, and on Aug. 6 of the following year Patience mar-
ried Thomas Prince, afterwards Governor. Fear married
in 1626 Isaac Allerton, the first Associate of Governor
William Bradford. His other children were Jonathan
and Wrestling.

Love Brewster married, March 15, 1634, Sarah,
daughter of William Collier. He moved to Duxbury,
Mass., and had issue, three sons and one daughter-

BURR : — Benjamin Burr, an early settler of Hartford,
had Samuel; made freeman with his father 1638, and
Thomas 1646, also daughters Mary and Hannah.

ohn Burr, of Roxbury 1650, came probably in the
fleet with Winthrop; requested admission as freeman
19th of Oct. that year and was sworn May 18, follow-
ing. He was a carpenter, appointed in 1633, by the
Colonial government to see to the bridges between Boston
and Roxbury. In 1636, he removed with Pyndian to
the foundation of Springfield, and for that town not sup-
posed to belong to Massachusetts in 1638, he was rep-
resentative at Hartford, and soon after went to Fairfield,
of which he was a representative 1641-5-6, and probably
died soon after. Three sons: John, Daniel and
Nathaniel are known, and perhaps there were other
children.

Jonathan Burr, of Dorchester, Mass., born at Red-
grave in County Suffolk, it is said, bred at Corpus
Christi, in Cambridge University, where he took his de-
gree in 1623, and 1627 was rector of Rickingshall, in his
native land, but was silenced by his primate Laud and
came with wife Frances and three young children to New
England, in 1639. In the second following winter he
was called to be colleague with Mather, but died Aug. 9,
1641, aged 36, leaving Jonathan 1651, John and Simon,
who were born in England, and Mary, born about 1640
at Dorchester.

Simon Burr, of Hingham, Mass., had several child-
ren of whom Simon and John were the only survivors.

William Collier, of Duxbury, a merchant of Lon-
don, came 1633, having for several years acted as one
of the adventurers, and had so generous a spirit, as not
to be content with making profit by the enterprise of
pilgrims, unless he shared their hardships. Whether
he brought wife from home, or had any here, is doubt-
ful; but four daughters came, of excellent character,
Sarah, who married March 15, or May, 1634, Love

stable of Scarborough 1664, there died 1666, aged 58,

sell 1600 acres, and other parts to others. Mather,

COLT or COULT.

COLT:— John, of Windsor, 1668, lived to old age,
had Sarah, baptized at Hartford, says Hinman, Feb. 7,
1647, and several sons of whom one or more settled at
Lyme. In his second edition 672-8, Hinman gives many
names of descendants yet with no precision of line. But
the original is quite mythical. The settler was born in
Colchester, Co. Essex, about 50 minutes from London,
came to Dorchester, when about 11 years old, removed
to Hartford about 1638, as says the book, with no inher-
ent probability, .but it is sure to encourage distrust of
such tale, that he is made great-great-great-grandson
of a peer of England, who was dispossessed of his estate,
etc. Such examples may, I hope, be shunned and not
imitated. Mr. Hinman had too respectable a name to
encourage the relations of such old wives' inventions..

was his servant in 1642, was by the Court ordered to
have charge of the children of Combs, and in 1666, the
son Francis got grant of land in his father's right.

ordered provision for Barlow's only child and his widow
who married John Warren as his second wife and died
early in 1672.

John Combs, Northampton, had there twelve children,
removed to Springfield, and had one more, born 1714.
Sometimes this name has "e" final, instead of "s"; and

. CONANT.

CON ANT:— Christopher, of Plymouth, 1623, came in
the Ann, had share in division of land next year but was
gone in 1627, perhaps to Cape Ann, for he had not shared
in the division of cattle ithat year. But if he had gone
home, he must have come back to our country, for he
was on the first jury for criminal trial here, impanneled

for the case of Walter Palmer, for manslaughter, Nov.
1630, having been in 1623, at Plymouth, next at Nan-
tasket, thence removed to Cape Ann, there resided be-
tween one and two years and removed to Naumkeag,
about 1627. He was son of Richard and Agnes, brother
it is said of Dr. John of the great Assembly of Divines
at Westminster, born in the hundred of E. Budleigh, bap-
tized at the parish church of the same, in Devonshire,
April 9, 1593; appointed 1625, governor, agent, or super-
intendent for the Dorchester projector of the plantation
as Endicott, who superseded him, was, 1629, for the
Governor and Comptroller of Mass. before the coming
of Winthrop, the first Charter Governor in the country.
(Felt. I, 106; Hubbard, 109, 10.) Gibbs says his grand-
father John, was of French, i. e. Norman, extraction, his
ancestors for many generations having been at Gittis-
ham, between Honiton and Ottery St. Mary's. He
requested to be freeman Oct. 19, 1630, was admitted May
18 following, was representative at the first general Court
of Mass., 1634, died Nov. 19, 1679, in 87th year at Beverly
(which he earnestly desired to be named Budleigh).
Young, Chronicle 24, gives him four sons, I think, he
had five; but even the assiduous fondness of Felt, in a
Memorandum of great diligence filling fourteen pages of
Geneal. Reg., II, has not furnished complete family ac-
count. His abstract of the will, made March 1, 1678,
refers to son Exercise and children; son Lot's ten child-
ren; grandchildren John, son of Roger ; grandchild Joshua
Conant, whose father may have been John, or Roger;
daughters Elizabeth Conant, probably never married;
Mary, widow of the second William Dodge, and her five
children; Sarah, and her children John and four daugh-
ters; a grandchild Rebecca Conant, whose father may
have been either of the sons, John or Roger, beside
cousin Mary, wife of Hilliard Verin, but whose daughter
is unknown; Adoniram Veren, and his sister Hannah,
with her two children and three daughters of his cousin
James Mason, deceased and it is equally unknown who
she was. Of Exercise; perhaps the third son, born at
Cape Ann, about 1636, baptized Dec. 24, 1637; Joshua;
and Lot, above, is all that is known to me; John was of
Beverly church, 1671, probably died before his father;
Roger, the first born child at Salem, is spoken next. His
wife Sarah, but neither he nor wife united early with
the church.

estate here was granted 1653, to President Dunster and

daughters, and his will was recorded 1691. As early as
1647, he was made one of two "water bailies" of the
Colony, if there be no mistake. One John, a young
man, Winth. II, 97, says, was killed by accident at
Boston, June 23, 1643; and a John was at Windsor, 1644.

John Cook, of Boston, was of the vestry of King's
Chapel, 1689; and a John, a soldier in the company of
Moseley, Dec, 1675, and again in Philip's war, 1676, at
Hadley; may have been of Gloucester, married Feb. 2,

1680, and Mary Elwell, had John, born Nov. 20, 1680.

John Cook, of Middletown, at his death Jan. 16, 1705,
left children John and Mary, of full age ; Daniel 14 years ;
Sarah, 12; Ebenezer, 7. His wife Hannah, daughter of
Capt. Daniel Harris, could not have been the first. His
will was made Aug. 15, 1698.

John Cook, of Hampton, married Nov. 26, 1686,
Mary Downs.

Joseph Cook, of Cambridge, elder. brother of George,
came in the Defence, 1635, aged 27. They were of
Earl's Colne in Essex, and there had enjoyed the spirit-
ual guidance of Shepard, who came in the same ship
"Freeman," March 3, 1636; representative 1636-40,
artillery company 1640; had wife Elizabeth and children
Elizabeth, March 16, or August, 1645; Mary Jan. 30,
1647; Grace Dec. 9, 1648, died soon; Grace, again May
1, 1650; and Ruth; all baptized at Cambridge. I think
it not unlikely, that after administration on his brother's
estate he went home.

Joseph Cook, of Wells, swore allegiance, 1680.

Josiah Cook, of Plymouth, married Sept. 16, 1635,
Elizabeth, widow of Stephen Deane, daughter of widow
Mary King, freeman 1637, removed with Gov. Prence
to Eastham, had Josiah and Ann, who married Jan. 18,
1655, Mark Snow, and died July 7, 1656; Bethia, who
married April 4, 1660, Joseph Harding; and died Oct.

17, 1673; and his widow died about 1687.

Nathaniel Cook, of Windsor, married June 29, 1649,
Lydia, daughter of Richard Vore, had Sarah, born June
28, 1650; Lydia, Jan. 9, 1653; Hannah, Sept. 21, 1655;
Nathaniel, May 13, 1658; Abigail, March 1, 1680; John,
August 3, 1662; and Josiah, Dec. 22, 1664. He was
admitted freeman of Conn., 16Z0, and died May 19, 1688.
The widow died June 14, 1698. Sarah married June 30,
1670, Samuel Baker; Lydia died unmarried before 24
years; Hannah married Thomas Buckland the younger,
who died May 28, 1676; and she next married Joseph
Baker, who died Dec. 11, 1691; and she married third
husband John Loomis; and Abigail married Joshua
Pomeroy, and next, David Hoyt, and next, Nathaniel
Royce.

Peyton Cook, of Saco, 1635, called, gentleman, was
clerk of the assembly of Lygonia 1648. Folsom, 32.

Philip Cook, of Cambridge, freeman 1647, died Feb.
10, 1667, by wife Mary, daughter of Barnabas Lamson,
had Mary, born July 26, 1652; Philip, Aug. 19, 1654;
Samuel; Hannah, July 4, 1657; and Sarah; all except
Philip, who probably died young, baptized at Cambridge;
also Philip again, baptized May 5, 1661 ; John, Aug. 30,
1603; and Barnabas, June 4, 1665; as in matchless
Mitchell's register appears, but it must be, that he had
two daughters named Hannah, for town record shows
daughter of Hannah, July 13, 1654, and brother of Sam-
uel, 1655. Sarah died May 12, 1661. His will of July

18, before his death disposes of children John, 3 years
old; Philip, 5; and Hannah, 9; leaving widow Mary, to
bring up others to trades. A discrepance between Mit-
chell and the inscription on gravestone of second Philip
may be observed if Harris, 57, has correctly given it,
that he died March 25, 1718, aged 55 years, 10 months,
25 days, so that by such computation he was born April
30, 1662. Probably the gravestone is false, Mitchell may
be following and we may suppose he was baptized at 5
days old.

Ralph Cook, of Charlestown, 1640, may have had wife
Sarah, admission of the church Nov. 30, 1643.

Richard Cook, of Charlestown, came in the Jonathan,
1639, aged 31, joined with the children May 30, 1641,
lived on Maiden side, had wife Frances, and daughter
Mary, born May, 1649; was of friends of Marmaduke
Matthew's preaching, and died Oct. 14, 1658. His will
names children of his wife by former husband Isaac,
Thomas, Elizabeth and Sarah, Wheeler; but, I think,
the sons were born in England. Elizabeth married Sept.
12, 1659, William Greene; and Sarah married Dec. 18,
1660, John Greene. His widow married Sept. 5, 1659,
Thomas Green; and his only daughter Mary, married
1666, Samuel Green.

Richard Cook, of Boston, tailor, came, it is said, from
Gloucestershire, freeman March 4, 1635, artillery com-
pany 1643, lieutenant, 1656, representative for Dover,
1670; by wife Elizabeth, had Elhanan, born June 30,
baptized July 17, 1636, died Nov. following; Elisha,
before mentioned Sept. 16, baptized Nov. 5, 1637, Har-
vard College 1657; Elkanah, baptized Sept. 12, 1640,
but the town record gives a false date of birth; Joseph,
born 2d, baptized May 8, 1642, who may have been
Harvard College 1660, or 61; and Benjamin, baptized
August 4, 1644, about 5 days old, died May following.
His will, made Dec. 18, 1671, probate Dec. 25, 1673,
names wife Elizabeth and only (child Elisjha, beside
brothers William and Walter, in England. His widow
died Oct. 7, 1690, in 75th year.

Richard Cook, of Norwich, had grant of lot 1680,
in the part now Preston, and son Obed, born Feb. 1,
1681.

Robert Cook, of Charlestown, freeman June 2, 1641,
by wife Sarah, had Samuel, born Aug. 10, 1644. I feel
some hesitation in this case, whether he and Richard
were not one, for Richard is not in the Colonial record as
freeman, which would not, however, be very surprising
though rather observing; but how Robert, whose name
is not found in the church, was admitted freeman is
strange.

Robert Cook, of Portsmouth, R. I., married Dec. 5,
1678, Tamar, daughter of John Tyler of Bristol, had
Mary, born June 27, 1682; Miriam, Dec. 9, 1689; and
Samuel, Dec. 19, 1695.

Roger Cook, of Marshfield, 1643.

Samson Cook, of Gloucester, died Jan. 26, 1674.

Samuel Cook, of Dedham, 1640, called gentleman
late of Dublin, in Ireland, when his executors conveyed
his estate, 1652.

Samuel Cook, of New Haven, m. Hope, May 2, 1667,
daughter of Edward Parker, had Samuel, born March 3,
1668; John, Dec. 3, 1669; and a daughter without name;
removed to Wallingford, 1673, where the residue of his
children named in his will, twelve in all, were born : Mary
Ives, Judith, Isaac, Joseph, Hope, Israel, Mabel, Benja-
min, Ephraim and Elizabeth. A second wife Mary, he
had, but we know not, which of these children, if any,
were hers. He made his will March, 1703, and soon
died.

Stephen Cook, of Mendon, freeman 1673, perhaps
brother of Gregory, removed to Watertown, was one of
founders of the second church, a deacon, and died April
24, 1714.

Thomas Cook, of Salem, was dead Sept. 1650, when
inventory of 40 pound sterling was returned. Perhaps
he was unmarried.

Thomas Cook, of Taunton 1639, proprietor with
Thomas jr. in 1643, probably both removed to Ports-
mouth, R. I., early, was called captain and in 1659
honored with commission to run the West line of the
Colony.

Thomas Cook, of Watertown, had daughter before
1647, and may be that mariner who died at Boston, Feb.
1646.

Thomas Cook, of Guilford, of whose early years I
know not the residence, brought two children Thomas
jr. and Sarah, who married Thomas Hall. There he
married Mar. 30, 1668, second wife Hannah Lindon, who
died July 7, 1676, and he died Dec. 1, 1692.

Thomas Cook, of Windsor, of whom no connection
with any other of the name is known, had wife and
daughter Martha, who died Nov. 8, 1683 ; and Mary, an-
other daughter died Mar. 10, 1689; and he died Nov.
18, 1697. He had good estate and probably left child-
ren to enjoy it.

Thomas Cook, of Braintree, one of a military watch
1689.

Walter Cook, Weymouth 1643, freeman 1653, had
Ebenezer, born May 30, 1656; Walter, Sept. 10, 1657;
and Nicholas, the last born Feb. 9, 1660.

William Cook, ofMaine 1665. Eleven of this name

William Cook, of Maine 1665. Eleven of this name,
a few included without final "e", had been graduates at
Harvard, nineteen at Yale, and twenty-two at other New
England colleges among whom were twelve clergymen.

COPELAND.

COPELAND :— John, of Boston, came in July, 1656,
in the "Speedwell," aged 28, from London, a Quaker.
He was next year banished from Plymouth Colony and
whipped in Massachusetts.

Lawrence Copeland, of Braintree, married Dec. 12,
1651, Lydia Townsend, sadly perverted to Feb. 16, 1654,
in Genealogical Register, XII, 110, had Thomas, born
May 10, 1652, (Genealogical Register, XI, 334,) died next
month; Thomas again, Aug. 12, 1654, or Feb. 6 or 8, 1655;
Richard, July 11, 1672; and Abigail, 1674. This last
married Nov. 23, 1715, says Thayer, but the name of her
husband is, I think, an impossible one. Ephraim, his
son died unmarried of small-pox, on board a ship of his
fleet, before the sailing of the disastrous expedition of
Sir William Phips, 1690; he died Dec. 30, 1699, born,
says the record, "in the reign of our gracious sovereign

Queen Elizabeth of blessed memory." Farmer, who was
much indebted to Chief Justice Sewall's fondness for
instances of unusual longevity, refers to his diary, as
saying he was 110. Perhaps this is mistaken. In the
diary iof Marshall, called Fairfield's, by Dr. Harris, when
he presented it to the Historical Society, I read, under
date Jan. 1, 1700, (so that it seems he was wise enough
to be half a century ahead of the law in reckoning the
beginning of a year), "old Lawrence Copeland buried
aged 100 years, who died last Saturday." Marshall was
a townsman, and his authority may be sufficient; but the
grave-stone also says Dec. 30, 1699, 100 years old. His
wife Lydia, died Jan. 8, 1688.

probated, which had been made Oct. 31, 1662, and David
was executor.

COURSER- — Archelaus, of Lancaster, had estate in
Boston and, I think, was of Charlestown, 1658, where
the record has the name Hercules; removed to Lancaster
1664, or earlier.

William Courser, of Boston, shoemaker, came in
the Elizabeth and Ann, 1635, aged 26, joined with the
church a week after Vane, but was not of his side two
years later; freeman May 25, 1636, was allowed to be inn-

Feb 9' 1640; and John, baptized May 8, 1642, about four
days old, but the dates of birth suspiciously concur with
the church record of baptism and the originality of one
or the other may well be doubted.

of good estate, an enterprising merchant, went on several
voyages to distant lands, and was lost on a voyage to

Feb. 6, 1643, died in six days. His inventory shows 1266
pounds sterling, 9 sh., 7 p. His widow married Dec,
1647, Governor Winthrop, brought him son Joshua, who
died within 'two years, and married next, March 10, 1651,
John Coggan, bore him Joshua, Caleb, and Sarah; and
after his death in 1658, wished to be married again, as
related by Rev. John Davenport; and, it is said, poisoned
herself for ill-success. The will of his mother aids our
research for genealogy. Its date is April 30, 1658, and
names the four children of William Tyng, who had mar-
ried her eldest daughter Elizabeth; five of Increase
Nowell; five of Thomas Graves, who were all the living
grandchildren; besides the daughters, Sarah Williams,
to whom she gave land at Woburn ; Parnell Nowell ; and
Catharine Graves, as also Martha, the widow of Coggan,
who had before been widow of her son Thomas, and of
Governor Winthrop.

John CSabb, of Dorchester, 1630, came, I presume, in
the "Mary and John," requested October 19th to be made
freeman, but probably went home soon, at least never
took the oath; though Dr. Harris, who finds him in town
records, 1632, says he removed to Connecticut. As this
could not be before 1635, it is liable to doubt.

Richard Crabb, of Wethersfield, was representative
1639, '40 and '41; sold estate 1643, and removed probably
to Stamford, and in 1655, was of Greenwich. See Hin-
man, 127; Savage's Gen. Diet., vol. I, 468.

* CRABTRBE: — John, of Boston 1639, a joiner, by wife
Alice, had John, born October 25, 1639; and Deliverance,
September 3, 1641, died within two years. He died late
in 1656, and his widow married February 11, 1657,
Joshua Hewes. Savage's Gen. Diet., vol. I, 468.

CRACKBONE: — Gilbert, of Dorchester, freeman,
December, 1636, removed soon to Cambridge, had, per-
haps, the four, whose death is on record. Mary, May 30,
Judith, July 7, both of 1655; Hannah September 24, 1658;
and Benjamin, April 27, 1661; yet we know not who was
mother of either. But as he married June 17, 1656,,
Elizabeth Cooledge, it is clear the first two were by
former wife; and of the last named we may doubt for
two reasons, that in his register, Matchless says: "his
son Benjamin was about five or six years old, when his
father joined here," though he leaves it uncertain how
old he was when that was written, still we might infer,

that he was continued in life. Next, we know that one
Benjamin Crackbone was killed by the Indians, Sept.
4, 1675, at Northfield, under Captain Beers, and probably
was that man's son. He died January 9, 1672. His will,
of December 20, with codicil of January 2, preceding,
names son Benjamin and his children Joseph and Sarah.
His widow was Elizabeth. Savage's Gen. Diet., vol. I,
468.

CRACKSTONE or CRAXTON.

CRACKSTONE:— John, of Plymouth, came in the
"Mayflower," 1620, with son of same name, died before
end of March following. Savage's Gen. Diet., vol. I, 469.

CRAFORD or CRAFFORD.

CRAFORD:— -John, of Dover, 1671.
Mordecai Craford, of Salem, in 1663, had wife
Judith.

Mungo Craford, of Boston, 1686, a Scotchman, had
been some years here apprentice, or a servant of John
Smith, the mason, and this year was allowed to be an
inhabitant. By wife Mary, he had Elizabeth, born May
19, 1681, whlo died young; was, I believe, among the ad-
herents of Andros, imprisoned April, 1689, but did not
go home, and is among the taxed 1695; by second wife
Susannah, had only child Mary, who married Stephen
Paine, and died 1712. The inventory of 109 pounds
sterl. 9 sh. 10 p. had drugs and medicines for two-fifths.
His widow Susannah made her will August 27, 1713,
probated September 15, afterwards making daughter
Mary and her husband Stephen executor, giving all to
Mary, except 20 pound sterl. to each of the grandchildren.
An early settler, Mr. Craford, probably of Watertown,
had been drowned. See Winthrop 1, 138, and Lieutenant
Feake, and three other gentlemen of that town, by order
of October 6, 1684, were to be taken inventory
of his estate for the Court.

Stephen Craford, of Kittery, 1640, died at Isle of
Shoals, 1647, leaving widow and one child. Savage's
Gen. Diet., vol. I, 469.

CRAFTS:— Griffin, of Roxbury, 1630, came probably
with wife Alice and daughter Hannah, in the fleet with
Winthrop, freeman, May 18, 1631; had John, born July
10, 1630, the earliest birth in town record; Mary, Oct.
10, 1632; Abigail, March 28, 1634; Samuel, December
12, 1637; and Moses, April 28, 1641; was lieutenant,
selectman, representative 1663-7, artillery company, 1668,
and died 1690, leaving widow Dorcus, his third or fourth
wife, who died December 30, 1697; but he had former
wife, for he married July 15, 1673, Ursula, widow of
William Robinson of Dorchester, being her fourth hus-
band; and in the record is Alice Crafts, died March 26,
1673, aged 73. In his will, made May 18, 1689, pro-
bated November 9, 1690, of which Samuel was executor,
he names Abigail, who had first married January 24, 1651,
John Ruggles, as wife, of Edward Adams; Hannah, as
wife of Nathaniel Wilson; and grandchild Ephraim, son
of John. Apostle Eliot, spells his name "Crofts;" in
some other records "e" is used for "s" final; and often
the first five letters made the name.

In an account of town debts Stiles' Ancient Windsor,
February, 1660-'61, occurs an item of 4 pounds sterling,
10 shillings, to Mr. Comniish, for schooling. This was
probably James Cornish, whom we find mentioned at
different times and places along the river as a school-
master. He was for some time a resident of Windsor.

Richard Cornish, of Mass., 1634, surety for his
wife's behavior (Hutch. I, 436,) may be the same which

CORY:— Abraham, of Southold, L. I., 1662, was made
freeman of Connecticut that year, married Margaret,
daughter of Jeffry Christophers, and Margaret, who mar-
ried Wllloughlby Lynde of Saybrook.

Giles Cory, of Salem, 1649, had daughter Deliver-
ance, born August 5, 1658, by wife Margaret; and mar-
ried second wife April 11, 1664, Mary Britz, who died
August 27, 1684, aged 63. He had third wife Martha,
who was admitted to the church at the village now
Danvers, April 27, 1690, imprisoned in March, 1692, con-
victed and hanged for witchcraft on the Thursday follow-
ing the suffering of her husband. At the age of almost
77, he was the victim of that execrable fanaticism of
1692. When the preposterous indictment was read, he
stood mute, though he had before said he was not guilty ;
and was, by force of sentence, under the cruel old com-
mon law, pressed to death, Felt says, "On Sept. 19, (other
accounts 16th, which must be wrong,) being the only
person who ever endured that barbarous process in
Massachusetts. On July 25th, he confirmed the will
made in prison April 24th, preceding, giving estate to
his son-in-law William Cleves, of Beverly, and John
Moulton, of Salem. He was a member of the first
church by which of course he was excommunicated, Sept.
18, the day before his dreadful fate; and so long did the
infernal delusion last, that this sentence was erased by
vote only at the end of 20 years though in case of his
wife's membership of another church the malignity lasted
but eleven years." Felt II, 475-85. Hutch. II, 59.
Calef, More Wonders of Invisible World, 217, 18. The
late Hon. Daniel P. King, of Danvers, occupied the
homestead of poor Cory. In Essex Hist. Coll., I, 56,
is petition of his daughter Elizabeth for self and other
children. His daughter Martha married Cleves.

John and Thomas Cory, were of Chelmsford, 1691;
but I know no more of either.

William Cory, of Portsmouth, R. I., had Michael,
born April 21, 1688; and no more is heard of him.

COSIN, COZENS or COUSINS.

COSIN: — Abraham, of Sherborn, married at Woburn,
November 19, 1684, Mary Eames, had Abraham, born
August 22, 1685; Isaac, June 2, 1688; Jacob and Joseph,
twins, August 13, 1692, and Mary, May 10, 1695. Morse
thinks him son of Iasac, of Rowley, and that he had
served in the war against Philip. Though the two points
are not utterly inconsistent I look on their concurrence
as improbable.

Edmund Cosin, of Boston, lived at Pulling Point,
married 1656 or '57, Margaret Bird, servant to John
Grover, of Rumney Marsh.

Francis Cosin, was of artillery company 1640.

George Cosin, whose name is Coussens in the custom
house records, came in the "James," from Southampton
to Boston, arrived June 3, 1635.

Isaac Cosin, of Rowley, about 1650, was from Marl-
borough, in Wiltshire, went to New London, where he
had a grant of lot, 1651, but did not take it, and went
back to Rowley; had wife Ann, in 1658, on the Boston
records of marriage (when the date is omitted though we
may be sure it was 1657,) called Hunt, formerly wife of
John Edwards; but on the same record appears, that by
former wife Elizabeth, who died Dec. 14, 1656, he had
Sarah, born August 31, preceding.

John Cosin, of Casoo, in that part now North Yar-
mouth, 1645, born about 1596, died at York, 1689.

COTTON.

COTTON: — John, of Boston, the most distinguished
divine that came from England in the first age, born at
Derby, December 4, 1585, son of Rowland Cotton, Esq.,
was entered at the University of Cambridge, when 14
years old, bred at Trinity College, where he took his A.
M., 160.6, became fellow of Emanuel, after spending, as
he says, fourteen years at Cambridge, preached at
Boston, Lincolnshire, twenty-one years, from 1612, being
by the choice of the corporation made vicar; came with
several of his parish in the "Griffin," arrived Sept. 4,
1633, with wife Sarah and their first child named at bap-
tism Seaborn, (from the circumstance of his birth,) re-
ceived at the church on Sunday following, Sept. 8; on
October 10, was ordained teacher of that church, freeman
May 4, 1634, died Dec. 23, 1652, yet the old copy of town
records of which, I presume, no original has been known
for 150 years, 'has it 15. His daughter ensuing on taking
cold in crossing the ferry as he went to preach a few days
before at Cambridge. His will of Nov. 30, of that year
with codicil of Dec. 12, mentioned the four children,
Seaborn, John, Elizabeth and Mary, with wife Sarah, and
"house and garden in the market-place of Boston, in
Lincolnshire," as well as the "small part of my house,
which Sir Henry Vane built, whilst he sojourned with
me," and at his departure, gave by deed, to son Seaborn;
and also mentioned cousin Henry Smith, and cousin John
Angier, with his wife and children all living at his house
and kinswoman Martha Mellowes, who I judge to be
widow of Abraham. But the name of grandchild Betty
Day, in the codicil can only be explained by supposing
that his wife had by former husband a daughter who had
married a Day and had this child. We know she was not
grandchild in natural descent. He lived 18 years with
wife Elizabeth Hoitirocks, add had no children; by second
wife, widow Sarah Story, who outlived him, and married
August 26, 1656, Richard Mather, outlined him, and died
May 27, 1676, had the son before mentioned born on the
ocean, August 12, 1633, baptized 4 days after he reached
port; Sarah, born Sept. 12, baptized Sept. 20, 1635, be-
thirothed to Jonathan Mitchell, but died of small-pox,
Jan. 20, 1650; Elizabeth 9, baptized Dec. 10, 1637; John,
March 15, baptized March 22, 1640, Harvard College,
1657; Mary or Maria, February 16, baptized February 20,
1642; and Rowland, about 6 days old, baptized Dec. 24,
1643, died of small-pox, Jan. 29, 1650. Elizabeth mar-
ried Oct. 12, 165, Jeremiah Eggington, died Aug. 31,
following, having Elizabeth born Aug. 15, who died soon;
Maria married M#rch 6 1663, Rev. Increase Mather, and
died April 4, 1714. Twenty-one of his descendants in
the male line (beside the many thro male or female of the
Mather blood, and many grand-daughters and other
females,) had been in 1818, graduates at Harvard, of
whom two tihirds were clergymen.

Thomas Cotton, of Roxbury, had Thomas, born
April 21/ 1664, may be he who died at Chelmsford, Sept.
30, 1687. '

William Cotton, of Boston, a butcher, may have
been before joining our church in May, 1647, first at
Gloucester, for one William, either this or the next, owned

belonged to second church of Boston. Mary, his daugh-
ter, married March 7, 1660, John Matson.

William Cotton, a witness, Dec. 12, 1653, at Wey-
mouth, to will of Joseph Shaw, is not known for anything
else.

William Cotton, of Portsmouth, 1640, of the Grand
Jury, 1669, died about 1677.

William Cotton, of Boston, possibly the same as
first, by wife Mary, had John, born 1666; and Jeremiah,

necticut, 1658, died May 31, 1691, leaving Benjamin,
Jonathan, Joseph, John, Abraham, Jacob, Israel, Eliza-
beth and Mary. Perhaps he lived some years late in
life at Taunton, for his son John there took his wife,
and (which is better ground for the inference), there
Samuel Hackett married,, March 28, 1690, his daughter
Mary.

Christian Crane, of Cambridge, 1647. But I doubt,
that Farmer was deluded into deriving this name from
Christopher Cane, which see.

Henry Crane, of Dorchester, 1658, in Milton, 1667-

Branford, in 1668, had been representative of New Hamp-
shire 1650, an assistant of New Haven Colony ten years
before, and of the United Colony of Connecticut, three
years.

well, 1656, aged 11, from London, of whom I hear no
more.

John Crane, of Braintree or Dorchester, married Dec.
13, 1686, Hannah, daughter of the second James Leonard,
and no more is known.

Jonathan Crane, of Norwich, 1680, married Dec. 19,
1678, Deborah, eldest daughter of Francis Griswold, had
Sarah, Jonathan, John and Mary. Perhaps he had been
first of Killingworth.

Thomas, born February 27, 1687.

eastern part of the colony, was at Northampton, April,

CROWNE: — William Growne, of Boston, 1657, came
with a patent of September .8, 1656, from his Highness,
Oliver," Lord Protector, etc., in conjunction with the
Sieuir de La Tour, and Col. Thomas Temple. He was
to have, in division of this grand province of Acadia, all
West of Machias for 30 leagues, including Penobscot,
and up Machias river 130 leagues on its West bank; was
freeman 1660, and had more productive, though nar-
rower, estate by grant of the Colony 500 acres near
Sudbury, in 1662, and by purchase of 1674, at Mendham,
See valuable paper in Genealogical Register, VI, 46,
about his serving as friend of New England. But I do
not concur with the writer in claiming his son John,
the poet, "as an American by birth," who in my opinion,
preceded 'the first coming of his father hither.

CUDWORTH:— James Cudwoirth, of Scituate, 1634,
by Deane, is supposed to have come in the Charles, with
Hatherly, 1632, a very valuable man, joined the church
January IS, 1G35, with his wife who bore him James,
baptized May 3, 1635, under his own roof, probably the
place where the congregation then worshiped; Mary,
July 23, 1637; Jonathan, September 16, 1638, died in a
few days; Israel, April 18, 1641; Joanna, March 26, 1643;
beside a son buried very young, June 24, 1644; and
cithers, certainly Hannah, and another Jonathan, of whom
we find not the baptism; .representative 1649-56, and
again in 1659, When for his tenderness to the Quakers,
he was' rejected; an Assistant 1656-8, captain of the
militia and in the early part of Philip's war commander
of the Whole force of Plymouth Colony, in 1681 deputy-
governor, died 16S2. He was in London, as Colonial
agent, where he died oi small-pox soon after his arrival,
and he had served as Commissioner of the United
Colonies, in 1657. Baylies I, 280; IV, 13-15. Mary
married 1660, Robert Whitcomb, of Scituate. He had
taken wife in England, a 'daughter of Rev. Dr. Stough-
ton, as is inferred from a letter in Genealogical Register,
XIV, 101, and removed with Lothrop to Barnstable, but
after few years went back to Scituate. In bis will, early
in 1682, he gives to James, Israel, Jonathan and daugh-
ters Hannah, Jones and four children of daughter Mary
Whitcomb.

CULLICK:— John Cullick, of Hartford, 1639, a
captain, representative, 1644, '46 and '47, Assistant and
Secretary 1648, and several years afterwards, married
May 20, 1648, Elizabeth, sister not daughter (as I had
said in note upon Winthrop's History, I, 228, of Edition
1853, having been misled by some Connecticut author,)
of George Fenwick, Esq., of Saybrook, probably as 2d
wife, had John, born May 4, 1649, Harvard College,
1668; and Elizabeth, July 15, 1652; removed to Boston,
where he was received into the church November 27,
1659, with his. wife and two elder children John and
Mary. I suppose it was an elder daughter Hannah,
who married May 20, 1660, Pelitiah Glover. He was
from Felstead, Essex, served as Commissioner of the
United Colonies for Connecticut, and died at Boston,
January 23, 1663. His widow married Richard Ely,
and much contention followed about the estate. His
daughter Elizabeth married October, 1671, Benjamin
Batten, of Boston.

COMYNS: — David Cummings, of Dorchester, 1664,
died September 12, 1690. Elizabeth, probably his wife,
died November 13, 1689.

Isaac Cummings, of Ipswich, freeman May 18, 1642,
may have been at Watertown, before and after, at Tops-
field, for in 1661, Isaac senior, a deacon and Isaac
junior, (who by wife Mary had a son, born November
3, in that year, and was living in 1686,) were there. In
his will of 1676, he names son Isaac, son-in-law John
Jewett, husband of Elizabeth, and John Pease, husband
of Ann.

Richard Cummings, of Isle of Shoals, joined with
Thomas Turpin in purchase of all estate of Francis
Williams, of Portsmouth, in December, 1645, and in short
time removed to Massachusetts, freeman 1669, but went
back, I presume, to Maine, and died at Scarborough,
1676, where his property was not small.

William Cummings, of Salem, 1637, probably the
supporter of Wheelwright, disarmed that year. Ann,'
possibly his daughter, married October 8, 1669, at Salem,
John Pease. Seven of this name, with its various spel-
ling, bad been graduated at Harvard, in 1820, and
eleven at other New England colleges.

Henry' Curtis, of Windsor, married May 13, 1645,

Nathaniel, July 15, 1651 ; removed to Northampton, and
died November 30, 1661', leaving widow Elizabeth, (who
married June 22, 1002, Riahard Weller, from Windsor,)
and these sons, of which Samuel died September 11, 1680.

Henry Curtis, of Boston, by wife Jane, had John,

Henry Curtis, of Marblehaad, perhaps went to Pema-
quid, before 1674, where be and Henry Jr., in that year
took the oath of fidelity.

John Curtis, of Dover, admitted an inhabitant April
24, 1656, but, perhaps, as no more is heard of him there,
he -removed to Roxbury.

John Curtis, of Stratford, 1650-85. Trumbull, I,
105, says he came from Roxbury, and he had John,
born October, 1642. But all of it seems erroneous. He
was really son of widow Curtis ; bald, says the preposter-
ous tradition, daughter Elizabeth, old enough to -marry
John, the eldest son of Governor Thomas Welles, bear-
ing to him several children, and, next, married March 19,
1663, John Wilooxson. Almost every word of Trum-
bull, and of Gothren, borrowed from Trumbull, in rela-
tion to 'the Roxbury derivation of John,anid William,
is wrong; and must have been a tradition of the middle
of the eighteenth century. Yet a true John of Stratford,
by wife Elizabeth, who died as Cathren, tells, 1682, be-
side that John, of 1642, had Israel, April, 1644; Eliza-'
beth, May, 1647, (who by tradition became wife of John
Welles, .eldest son of the Governor, bore him one son in
1648, the year after her own birth, anld twins 1651);
Thomas, January, 1649; Joseph, November, 1650; Ben-
jamin, September, 1652; and Hannah, February, 1654
or 5. None of this must be rejected but perhaps when
Cotibren adds, that he died December 6, 1707, aged 96
years, and that his widow Margaret, died 1714, acquies-
cence of our judgment may not be so easy.

John Curtis, of Topsfield, married December 4, 1672,
Sarah Locke, freeman 1690.

Nathaniel Curtis, of Northampton, 1668, was a
soldier, killed September 2, 1675, at Nortbfield, by the
Indians, but who was his father is not known.

Richard Curtis, of Dorchester, 1642, freeman 1647,
by wife Elizabeth, bad Elizabeth, born July 17, 1643.
His wife died May 28, 1657; and he married September
25 following, Sarah had Isaac, June 17, 1658; and
Joseph, September 4, 1661.

Richard Curtis, of Salem, there had, by wife Sarah,
Caleb, born September 24, 1646; and Sarah, March 19,
1650; both baptized April 21, 1650; Samuel, April 1,
baptized May 18, 1651; Richard, February 14, baptized
20, February 1653; Sarah, again, baptized April 15,

John again, born June 4, 1660, died soon; and Mary,
born February 11, 1663.

Richard Curtis, Marblebead, 1648, removed to Scit-
uaite, married 1649,Ann, daughter of John Hallet, had
Ann, born 1649; Elizabeth, 1651; John, December 1,
1653; Mary, 1655; Martha, 1657; Thomas, March 18,
1659; Deborah, 1661; and Sarah, 1663; and he died 1693.
His will of 1692 provides for second wife Lydia, the two
sons, and daughters Ann, Elizabeth Brooks, wife of
Nathaniel; Mary Badcocke; and Martha Clark, wife of
Thomas. So it is inferred that the youngest two daugh-
ters died before their father.

Richard Curtis, of Wallingford, had three sons and
a daughter who married, Nathaniel Howe, but of the
four, only Isaac is named. The father died September
17, 1681.

Samuel Curtis, of Northampton, 1668.

Theophilus Curtis, of Woburn, freeman 1684.

Thomas Curtis, of WetihersfreM, an early settler, had
John, born 1639; James, 1641; Joseph, 1644; Samuel,
1646; Isaac, 1647; Elizabeth and Ruth, lall living Novem-
ber 13, 1681, at his daughters in Wallingford, whither
he removed 1670. Elizabeth married May 26, 1674, John
Stoddard; Ruth, married Eleazur Kimberlv, the Secre-
tary of the Colony.

Thomas Curtis, of York, removed to Scituate, there
had Elizabeth, baptized 1649; and Samuel, 1659, went
back to York, 1663; had Benjamin, 1684. With some
of Courteous, he is seen swearing allegiance to Massa-
chusetts, 1652, in Colonial Records, IV, pt. I, 129.

William Curtis, of Roxbury, 1632, came in "Lion,"
arrived at Boston, September 16, with wife Sarah, and
children Thomas, Mary, John and Philip, freeman March
4, 1633, first named in the list of that day ; had here, says
Ellis, Hannah, Elizabeth and Isaac, born July 22, 1641.
His eldest son William, who came in 1631, perhaps with
Eliot in the "Lion," was a hopeful scholar, but God
took him in 1634," says the church record. Thomas,
died June 26, 1650, of "long and tedious consumption,"
says "the church record, unmarried, it is presumed. His
daughter Hannah married Aug. 25, 1651, William Geary,
and Elizabeth married, December 14, 1659, John Newell.
He died December 8, 1672, aged 80; and his widow
died March 20 or 26 following, aged 73.

William Curtis, of Stratford, 1642-1702, son of a
widow Curtis, that came, so I presume, from England,
with John and this son, by Trumbull, I, 105 said to
have come from Roxbury, erroneous, as must be thought
for his observance on John. But Cothren shows that
he, of Stratford (who may never have seen Roxbury),
was one of the grantees of Woodbury, in 1672, though
he removed not from Stratford, but died there Decem-
ber 21, 1702, in his will of six days preceding named his
children Sarah, who was born October, 1642; Jonathan,
February, 1644; Joshua, October, 1646; Abigail, April,
1650; Daniel, November, 1652; Elizabeth, February,
1654; Ebenezer, July, 1657; Zechariah, November, 1659;
and josiah, August, 1662. Who was his father is un-
certain. His second wife was Sarah, widow of William
Goodrich, but all the children were by first wife, whose
name is not seen. Both husband and wife died 1702, as
is said.

William Curtis, of Scituate, 1643, brother of Richard,
had Joseph, born 1664; Benjamin, 1666; William, 1668;
John, 1670'; Miriam, 1673; Mehitabe, 1675; Stephen,
1677; Sarah, 1679; and Samuel, 1681

born August 30, .16.18; Sarah, October 13, 1060, died
soon; William, December 26, 1662; Abigail, about Aug.
15, 1664; John, May 14, 1666; Elizabeth, January, 1668;
and Hannah, August, 1670; was one of the troop in
1078.

Zaacheus Curtis, of Salem, came in the "James"
from Southampton, 1635, was from DowWton, in Wilt-
shire, had grant of land 1646, but probably removed to
Gloucester, there by wife Joan had Mary, born May 12,
1659, who- married April 19, 1677, at Salem, Richard
Friend. Of this name, ten had been graduated at
Harvard, in 1834, and 19 in other New England colleges.

John White, and daughter Abigail from Workington, in
Cumberland, where he was born December 10," 1610,

baptized January, 107:1; and George, born 1G74, died
soon; was freeman 16G5, representative 1GG6, 7, St, 70,
2, 4 and 0; a selectman; captain in Philip's war, and died
January 3 or G, 1085, leaving large estate. Abigail mar-
ried August 28, 1663, Fleazur Hai'hoi ne, and, next, Hon.
James Russell; Hannah married, December 29, 1GG4,
William Browne, and died November 21, 1692; Pene-
lope married Josiah Woloott; and Susanna married
Edward Lyde, of Boston, and died early. More light
is wanted as to Abigail's second husband than the Gene-
alogical Register affords, as also for the marriage of
Samuel Andrews to another child of Curwin's wife.

Matthias Curwin, of South-old, Long Island, had
been -early at Ipswich, it is said.

Samuel Curwin, of Boston, died November 16, 1698.
Often this name is written Oorwin, sometimes Currin,
to conform to sound. . The Curwens were a very ancient
family in Cumberland, and the name being nearly, or
quite, extinct, it was assumed two or three generations
since by Mr. Christian of the Isle of Man, who was a
member of Parliament of some distinction, 60 years ago.

CUSHING:— David Cushing, of Exeter, 1655.

Matthew Cushing, o-f Hingham, 1638, from Hing-
bam, in County Norfolk, son of Peter, born in 1588, the
year of the Spanish Armada, married, August 5, 1613,
Nazareth Pitcher, had, as by register of old Hingham
appears, Daniel, baptized April 20, 1G19 ; Jeremiah, Jan.

I, 1621; Matthew, April 5, 1623; Deborah, February 17,
1G25; and John, whose baptism is, I believe, omitted,
and I have heard that it was in a neighboring parish;
came -in the "Diligent," embarked at Gravesend, April 26,
and landed at Boston, August 10, 16:5s, with that wife
and those children. He is the ancestor of all the myriads
of this name in New England, and thence indefinitely
spread; and died December 30, 1660. His widow died
1681, aged 95, as is said. -Her sister, widow Frances
Ricroft, came in the sarnie voyage, but died in a few
weeks after arrival. In bis will all the children, except
Deborah, who married, May, 1648,' Matthew Briggs, are
named as living; and the share to this son-in-law was
large.

Theophilus Cushing, of Hingham, came in the
"Griffin," 1G33, with Gov. Haynes, at whose farm he
lived some years. He was from old Hingham, and died
March, 1679, aged about 100 years, of which he was blind
for 25, had, it is thought, no children.

CUSHMAN: — James Cushman, of Scituate, from 1639
to '48, says Deane. His will, April 25, 1648, probated
Ma)- 24 following, names only cousins. It is not easy
to offer a reasonable conjecture what he was.

Robert Cushman, of Plymcu:h, one of the most active
promoters of the migration from Holland in 1620 of the
pilgrims in the "Mayflower,'' of which he was one, but
when adverse circumstances compelled that ship to put
back, he gave up his place for the good of other compan-
ions in the "Speedwell," which was abandoned 1 ; came '
next year in the "Fortune," arrived November 10, the
first ship after the "Mayflower," with son Thomas, yet
stayed only one month, went home in the same little
bark, and came again no more. He had married, at
Leyden, June 3, 1617, Mary Singleton (on the Dutch
records spelled Chingelton), of Sandwich, he being de-
signated a woolcarder at Canterbury, both in County
Kent. The first -sermon preached in New England, was
by him, on the highly appropriate subject of self-
denial. He was constant in serving at London for the
emigrants and in December 1624 spoke of his hope of
coming in the next season; but Governor Bradford notes,
that he was dead before receipt of his answer from Ply-
mouth of June 1625; and his family came soon after to
partake in the fortunes of the plantation. By general
consent, he was assigned a share in the division of land
with the comers of the "Mayflower." Davis, in Morton's
Memorial, 128; Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrims, 99,
249. Twelve of this name had been graduatetd at the
New England colleges in 1834.

of lands, next season, was counted for six heads, if the
records be right, yet at division of cattle, 1627, he, and
wife Sarah, who, I presume, had been widow of Digory
Priest (that died at Plymouth January 1, 1621), an;d
married November 21 following, at Leyden; and son
Samuel are all ; but we may suppose, that some daughters
had been married in the interval, and at this division
?.re counted by other names. Sarah, his daughter, married
1C30, John Coombs, it is said, and another married
Phineas Pratt. He was a Dutchman, united with the
fathers at Leyden, and Winslow and gives his name, as,

perhaps, in earlier life, the man wrote it, Godbert God-
bertson. He died before -October 23, 16'33, the date of
inventory of both himself and -wife, so that she was pro-
bably dead a short time before. By descendants the last
syllable of the surname is now rejected. Davis, in
Morton, 379. Savage's Gen. Diet. vol. I, 491.

CUTLER : — James Cutler, of Watertown, by wife Ann,
had James, born November 6, 1635; Hannah, July 26,
163S; Elizabeth, January 28, 1640, died soon; and Mary,
March 29, 1643. His wife died September in the follow-

ter of John Page. He had removed 1648, to an outlying
plantation, called Cambridge Farms, now Lexington,
and there his will of November 24, 1684, calling himself
78 years old, was made, and yet not probated before
August 20, 1694. Ann married, probably, John Goller;
Elizabeth married John Parm enter, of Sudbury; Sarah
married Thomas White; and Joanna, married Philip
Russell.

John Cutler, of Hingham, came in 1637, with wife,
.seven children and one servant, from some part of Nor-
folk, Eng., and died, I suppose, about 1671, for next year
his widow Mary, then became Hewet, joined with son
Nathaniel, of Reading, Samuel, of Topsfield and Thomas,
of Charlestown, in sale of the estate at Hinghani.

John Cutler, of Woburn, married September 3, 1650,

5, 1663. He died of small-pox, 1678 or 9. Mary mar-
ried June 20, 1684, another record says March 2, 1084,
Matthew Smith.

John Cutler, of Woburn, perhaps, married May 12,
1682, Susanna Baker, probably daughter of John, but
may have removed after having John, born December 7,
1684, died soon.

John Cutler, of Hingham, a surgeon, who changed
his name from John Demesmaker, married January 4,
1675, Mary, daughter of Edward Cowell, had John, born
August 6, 1676; Peter, July 7, 1679; Mary, July 24, 1682;

again, May 30, 1699, the last two at Boston, to which
he removed for permanent residence, and here died 1717.
His widow bad administration of his good estate Novem-
ber 30, of that year. His elder son John, followed the
father's profession, married August 21, 1716, Joanna,
widow of Thomas Richards, whose maiden name was
Dodd, but had no issue.

Robert Cutler, of Charlestown, 1037, freeman May
2, 1638, deacon 1659, died March 7, 1665, leaving
widow Rebecca and children John, Rebecca, married
L649, Abraham Errington; Hannah, married August 29,
1654, Matthew Griffin; and Nathaniel, baptized Novem-
ber 8, 1640, Harvard College, 1663. He had good estate
by his will, made May 1, preceding his death, distribut-
ing to wife, four children and to grand-children, beside
bequething to officers of the church.

Samuel Cutler, of Marbleheacl, 1654, was 71 years
old in 1700.

Samuel Cutler, of Charlestown, by wife Dorothy

1662, not 1663, as Harris Epitaphs, I., has it, aged
about 42, and he married February 14, 1663, Harris, 23

ing, was living some years later; had grant 1648, of land
in Cambridge, and in short time afterward went home,
and sent power of attorney in 1653, to his brother Corlet^
from Newycastle on Tyne. Elizabeth, I think, his
mother, who died January 10, 1664, in her will of Feb-
ruray 16 preceding, called herself about 87 vears, says she
has lived now about 20 years with Mr. Elijah Corlet,
who married her daughter Barbara, and gives them all

CUTTING:— John Cutting, of Watertown, 1636,
afterward at Charlestown, thence removed, was about
1642, at Newbury, had Sarah, married James Brown, and
Mary, married November 9, 1657, Samuel Moody. He
made many voyages, and brought very many passengers
from England, and died November 20, 1650. His widow,
Mary, married John Miller, and died March 6, 1664.

John Cutting, of Boston, 1655.

Richard Cutting, of Watertown, came in the "Eliza-
beth," from Ipswich, 1634, a youth of 11 years, under
the care of Henry Kimball; by wife Sarah, who died
November 4, 1685, aged 60, had James, horn January 26,
1648; John, Susanna; Sairah, September 2, 1661; and
Lydia, September 1, 1666, beside Zechariah, who may
have been the eVlest. He made his will June 24, 1694,
in Which he mentioned the four children alive, and child
of John, named John, and child of Sarah, named Eliza-
beth. Susanna married June 2, 1672, Peter Newcombe,
of Braintree; Sarah married! March 5, 1683, John Bar-
nard, Jr., and died May 6, 1694; and Lydia married Henry
Spring.

William Cutting, a passenger in the "Elizabeth,"
from Ipswich, 1634, aged 26. It may be asked if he were
related to Richard Young, who came in the same ship
with him, or of John, -who was master of the Francis,
which sailed on the same day from the same port, and
both reached Boston the same day, without loss of any
passengers. Yet where the answer will come from, or
what it will be, is beyond conjecture.

CUTT: — (or Cutts in modern days) John Cutt, of
Portsmouth, son of that Richard, a member of Oliver's
Parliament, 1654, in which year he died, was a merchant
from Wales, married July 30, 1662, Hannah Star, had
John, born June 30, 1663; Elizabeth, November 30, 1664,
died next year; Hannah, July 20, 1666; Mary, November
17, 1669, and Samuel; was appointed by the crown, 1679,
president of the province, undertook the office next year
and died March 27, 1681, leaving large estate. A second
wife Ursula survived, but was killted by the Indians,
1694, on a Saturday, as Mather tells, VII, 86; and from
Belknap we may guess it was on July 21. Hannah mar-
ried February 16, 1681, Richard Waldron, died February
14, 1683, and Mary married Julv 1, 16S7, Samuel Pen-
hallow. Belknap I, 90, 01, 141 f Chalmers, 400.

Robert Cutt, of Portsmouth, brother of John, went

to Barbados, from New England, came back, lived at
Kittery, about 1663, built many vessels; by second wife
Mary, had Richard, Elizabeth, who married Humphrey
Eliot, Robert; Bridget, who married Rev. William
Scriven; Mary and Sarah. His will, of June 18, 1674,
probated July 6 following, names son Richard, also, so
' that we may assume he was born by former wife. In the
inventory of 890 pounds sterling, large for that neigh-
borhood, are included eight negro slaves, but their ag-
gregate value is only 111 pound's sterl. His widow mar-
ried Francis Champernoon.

DAMON, D AMMAN, DAMAN or DAM1NG:—
Edward Damon, of Marblehead, 1674. Dana, 8.

John Damon, of Scituate, 1643, came with sister Han-
nah, minors, under care of William Gilson, their uncle,
one of tshe chief men of the town, as early as 1633, and
had his estate. He married June, 1644, Catharine,
daughter of Henry Marritt, had Deborah, born April 25,
1645; John, November 3, 1647; Zechary, 1649, died soon;
Mary, July, 1651; Daniel, February, 1653; Zechary again,
1654; and his wife died. He married 1659, Martha How-
land, had son Experience, born 1662; Silence, 1663;
Ebenezer, 1665; Ichabod, 1668; Margaret, 1670; and
Hannah, 1672. He was representative 1675-6, and died
1677, and his widow married Pater Bacon, of Taunton.
Jdhh was on service in Philip's war. Ebenezer married
a daughter of Baoon, butt was weak, and his estate was
in his mother's hands, not managed by him, as Deane
tells. Deborah married 1666, Thomas Woodworth;
Experience and Idbabod, also, had sons of same names.

John Damon, of Reading, freeman 1645, had John,
who died January 14, 1652 ; and John, again, born March
18, 1652; daughter Abiah, August 26, 1654; Samuel, June
23, 1656 ; Joseph, August 18, 1661 ; probably also others ;
was a deacon, and died 1708. In the Reading family the
"m" is doubled.

DANA : — Richard Dana, of Cambridge, married Anna
Bullard, had John, born April 15, 1649, died in six
months; Hannah, July 8, 1651; Samuel, October 13, 1653,
died next month; Jacob, February 2, 1655; Joseph, May
21, 1656; Benjamin, February 20, baptized April 8, 1660;
Elizabeth, April 27, 1662; Daniel, March 20, baptized
April 3, 1663; daughter Abiah, died young; Deliverance,
March 5, 1667; Sarah, who died January 11, 1670; and
Sarah again, January 1, 1671 ; twelve in all, of which one
daughter, probably Hannah, married Samuel Oldham;
one, perhaps Elizabeth, perhaps Deliverance, married
Daniel Woodward; and Sarah, married Samuel Hyde.
The time of his death, by a fall in his barn, is given
April 2, 1690, but the partition of the estate was not be-
fore April 15, 1695, when division to widow and four
sons, beside Oldham, Woodward and Hyde is found.
Thirteen of this family had been graduated in 1839, at
Harvard, and thirteen at otiher New England Colleges.

D AND : — John Dand, of Boston, 1641, clerk in the
prothonotary's office (but I bear not where), gave much
trouble by joining others in petition for enlargement of
privilege 1645. Winslow describes him as living in an-
other man's house at board hire. He was not a free-
holder. See our General Court's Declaration in Hutch-
inson's Collections, 211, one of the most curious papers
in that invaluable collection. We might presume, on his
ill-success in Massachusetts, that he went home, but
Farmer says he was of Dover, 1654. Winthrop, II, 262,
92-5. The learned author of "Gens Sylvestrina," one of
the most agreeable books of genealogy ever printed,
says, the Dandls were "the most considerable family in
the sixteenth century at Mansfield in Nottinghamshire."
Yet there were mersers, as he tells.

ably called Davy in Frothingham, 181, was in 1680 one
of the tything men of the town. See Dady.

DANE: — .John Dane, of Roxbury, from County
Essex, England, came 1636, bringing children of a de-
ceased wife, Francis, Elizabebh, and John; was perhaps
the freeman of June 2, 1641, married July 2, 1643, Ann,
or Hannah, or Annis, widow of William Chandler, and
died, says the town record jburied, says the church record,
September 14, 1658. His will, of a week preceding, pro-
bated October 16, names only those children, of which he
calls Elizabeth, Howe, perhaps wife of the second Abra-
ham, of Roxbury. Perhaps he had removed a short time
to Ipswich, and came back to Roxbury. His widow had
third husband John Parmenter, of Sudbury, and died
March 15, 1683.

Thomas Dane, of Concord, had, I suppose, by wife
Elizabeth, a daughter born February 24, 1643, and cer-
tainly by her had Hannah, March 18, 1645, if this be the
real name of him, printed Dann in the Genealogical Reg-
ister, VIII, 347, with which confer Genealogical Reg-
ister, IV, 271.

William Dane, of Woburn, had Martha, born August
17, 1671; William, July 5, 1673; Samuel, July 26, 1675-
John, June 25, 1677; Sarah in 1687, by wife Martha!
Great difficulty occurs in turning over the records, by fre-
quent substitution of Dean, or Deane, or Daine, for Dane
and the reverse.

March 3, 1636, representative 1636 and 7, died April,
1638, leaving Thomas, who was born 1622; Samuel, Sep-
tember, 1626, Harvard College, 1643; Jonathan, Febru-

Bridge ; Lydia, wife of William Beaman ; and the eldest,
Elizabeth, 1618, wife of Andrew Belcher, grand-mother of
Gov. Jonathan. His wife Elizabeth had died 1629, in
England.

William Danforth, of Newbury, 1667, born only 14
years before at London, perhaps was soldier in December
1675, of Johnson's company ; by first wife who died Oct.

18, 1678, bad no children; by second wife Sarah Thurio,
had William, Mary, Richard, born January 31, 1680;
John, December 8, 1681, died October 1, 1772; Jonathan,
May 18, 1685; Thomas, September 11, 1688; Francis,
March, 15 1691; and Joseph, May 12, 1694. Descendants,
says Farmer, are in New Hampshire, and some of them
spell their name Danford. Eleven of this name gradu-
ated at Harvard, all are male line descendants of
Nicholas.

universally observed.

of lands February 24, 1640, was for seven heads. His
name in Genealogical Register, IX, 142, is distorted to
Deffet. He died 1677, his will of March, in that year,
was probated April 27, following. It gave all to his son
John. Mary, his daughter, perhaps, born in England,
married John Briggs, and second Captain John Minot.

DAVENPORT:— Francis Davenport, of Boston,
1675, mariner, married Ann, daughter of Dr. William
Snellinig.

Humphrey Davenport, of Dorchester, came from
Barbados, married Rachel, daughter of Thomas Holmes,
had Richard, removed to Hartford, there had Willam,
and in 1667, his wife was convicted of playing cards.
They removed to New York, where greater laxity might
be indulged in.

John Davenport, of New Haven, first minister there,
son of John, says Wood's Athenae Oxonienses, not, as
the fondness of Mather states, mayor of Coventry, in
idle attempt to magnify a great man, was born 1597,
bred at Oxford, but not admitted, as Mather has it, of
Brazen Nose, 1611, entered 1613, at Merton College,
thence after two years removed to Magdalen Hall, where
he proceeded B. D. 1625, was preaching at St. Stephen's,
Coleman street, London, perhaps not quite so early as
the Magnalia imports; but being in 1633 complained of
for nonconforming, went to Amsterdam, thence came to
New England 1637, with Gov. Eaton,, arrived at Boston,
June 26, and next year with him settled New Haven'

Mr. Haven, the accomplished editor of Archaeologic
Americana, vol. Ill, in preliminary remark cxxxvi, cor-
rects that looselessness of the Magnalia as to the mayor
of Coventry; yet falls into slight error as to the coming
of this famous divine. On page 85, he says: "'When the
times grew favorable for the Puritans, he returned to
England, from his refuge in Holland;" but more exact
expression should be, in my judgment thus: "As the
times grew not favorable for the Puritans, he returned
no more to England," except to embark privily, perhaps
without landing, for he dared not appear in London.
After nearly 30 years of great influence in the Colony of
his own planting, removed to Boston, freeman 1669,
having with very injurious controversy been installed
as successor of Wilson, December 9, 1668, at the first
church, causing foundation of third church in Boston,
gathered May 12, 1669, at Charlestown, and violent
heats in the commonwealth for many years. The great
body of the clergy favored the new church, as did a
major part of the assistants, of six opponents, three, in-
cluding Gov. Bellingham, being of the old church. He
was at New Haven eager in defence of Goffe and Whal-
ley, the regicides in 1661, and perhaps much aided in
their escape. Yet a most curious, if not characteristic,
letter from him furnishes no small light to the history of
his acting given by Dr. Stiles, as it tends to exculpate
or inculpate him according to the eyes with which it is
read, in the 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII, 327. Witlh his name
is frequently associated that of a cousin, possibly a brother
Christopher, born 1598, a Catholic priest of great learn-
ing, not a Jesuit, under the name of Santa Clara, who
died May 31, 1680. Mather, III, 52, denies that he was
a brother, "as a certain Wooden Historian, in his Athe-
nae Oxonienses has report." By this merciless punish-
ment of honest Anthony, the immortal author of the
Magnalia fully proves how much better qualified he was
for executioner than judge. We know no child but John,
called only son, though he certainly had youngest son
Joseph, who died probably before his father, and per-
haps had daughters before or after coming to New Eng-
land, and he died March 15, 1670. Elizabeth, perhaps
his widow, died at Boston, September 15, 1676, aged 73,
if the grave-stone be correct. In the present age a
descendant of the venerable father of New Haven, A.
Benedict Davenport, Esq., calls himself of the 24th gen-
eration, has confidently carried the line of his family back
to Orme de Davenport, 1086, or the 20th of the Con-
queror. Such labors aire seldom reverenced in this
country.

Richard Davenport, of Salem, came with Capt. En-
dicot, in the "Abigail," September, 1682, from Wey-
mouth, in the County Dorset, a few miles from Dor-
chester, near where probably he was born about 1606.
He was freeman September 3, 1634, ensign next month,
when his friend Endicot. cut out the Red Cross in the
National banner, in admiration of which rashness he
gave a daughter born that year, her name Truecross;
lieutenant, with a happier spirit when he was wounded
1636, in the Pequot expedition, representative 1637, and
that year directed to receive the arms from Wheel-
wright's friends; artillery company 1639; removed to
Boston, 1642, and was appointed captain of the castle,
where he was killed by lightning, July 15, 1665. His
wife was Elizabeth, and children Nathaniel, Truecross,
born 1634 or more probably '35; Experience, baptized
August 27, 1637; and John, September 19, 1641, all at
Salem, but the record of the church being for the earliest
years lost, the baptism of the oldest child is not known;
and at Boston, he had Samuel, baptized June 28, 1646;

Sarah, September 30, 1649; Elizabeth, September 13,
1652; and William, born May 11, 1656, baptized 7 days
old. His widow died June 24, 1678. Truecross married
November 10, 1654, Stephen Minot; and Elizabeth, mar-
ried Asaph Eliot. William was a sergeant in Phips's
Quebec expedition, but whether he was married is un-
known and he died soon after reaching home. . Prince
Annals, 1, 174. Johnson, W. W. P.

Thomas Davenport, of Dorchester, 1640, freeman
May 18, 1642, perhaps living 1660, at Cambridge, died
November 9, 1685, leaving wife Mary, who died October
4, 1691; had Sarah, born December 28, 1643; Thomas,
who was killed in Philip's- war December 19, 1675, in
Johnson's company; Mary, baptized January 21, 1649;
Charles; Mehitable, born February 14, 1657; Jonathan,
March 6, 1659; Bbenezer, April 26, 1661; and John,
baptized November 20, 1654. Mary married Samuel
Maxfield. Often in early records, inexperienced readers
will be misled by finding this name as Danfort or Dam-
port. Five of this name had been graduated in 1834 at
Harvard, and eight at the other New England Colleges.

Humphrey Davie, of Boston, merchant, son of Sir
John, who had been created a baronet, September 9,
1641, came from London 1662, possibly to encourage
Rev. James Allen, freeman 1665, artillery company 1665,
representative for Bill-erica, because he had estate there
1665-9, for Woburn 1678, probably on equal reason, an
assistant 1679-86; married as second or third wife, Sarah,
widow of James Richards, of Hartford, who had left large
estate that caused his removal thither; had by her
Humphrey and William, and died February 18, 1689. By
former wife he had John, Harvard College, 1681, but
whether she came with him from London, I cannot find.
His widow married Hon. Jonathan Tyng.

wrote the name Davisse, and called him joiner. Most
of the names Davie or Davy, Davies or Davis, are con-
vertable. He may have gone to Duxbury, where one
of his name sold estate 1650.

Barnaby Davis, of Charlestown, 1636, or after, came
in the Blessing, 1635, aged 36, died November 27, 1685,
aged about 86. Frothingham, 152, has his name 1658,
at division of wood and comimons on Mistick side; and
page 183, has Barnaby, Jr., probably his son, in the list
of householders, 1678.

Daniel Davis, of Kittery, 1649, freeman 1652.

Dolor, Dollard or Dollar Davis, of Cambridge,
1634, is said to have married perhaps in England, Mar-
gery, sister of Simon Willard, if so, he was probably from
Kent, and this conjecture is confirmed to me by collateral
evidence. Yet the grave-yard at Benefield, in County
Northampton, as Dr. Palfrey assures me, contains the
names of his ancestors. He removed about 1040, and
had land that year in Duxbury, and was of that church
when he removed to Barnstable, and joined that August
27, 1648, with his wife, but had his daughter Ruth, bap-
tized at Barnstable, March 24, 1645; was freeman of that
Colony, 1646; and in the list of those able to bear arms
1643, is this man's name "and his sons." Who may be

intended by the last word, is not precisely understood,
but probably John alone. Yet at the end of that list
stand John and Nicholas, who might well, therefor, be
thought brothers, certainly not sons. But two sons he
did have, Simon and Samuel, both younger by much
than John, who was executor of his will. Before re-
moved to Duxbury, he lived some years at Concord, and
was one of the proprietors of Groton, 1655, engaged in
its first settlement, and made one of its selectmen by the
General Court of the Colony. Still it is not likely, that
he ever inhabited in the new plantation, but leaving his
youngest son to reside at Concord, went back to Barn-
stable, and died there 1673. His daughter Ruth, mar-
ried 1663, it is said,. Stephen Hall; and Mary, who mar-
ried June 15, 1653, Thomas Lewis, of Barnstable, was
probably another.

Edward Davis, of Boston, married September 16,
1657, Hannah, daughter of Richard Gridley.

Ephraim' Davis, of Haverhill, married December 29,
1660, Mary Johnson, of Andover, took oath of allegiance
November 28, 1677, died 1681, leaving children Stephen,
Ephraim, Thomas, Jonathan, Mary, Susanna and Hannah.

Francis Davis, of Amesbury, swore allegiance Dec.
20, 1677.

George Davis, of Bpston, 1644, blacksmith, perhaps
the freeman of 1645, one of the founders of the second
church, by wife Barbara, who had joined first church
Aug., 1647, had Samuel, born October 17, 1651; and, if
the records be not false, John, June 3, 1652; was a ser-
geant, died early in 1655. He throve by his trade, for
the inventory Valued, one fourth of George Munjoy's
ship "Swan," and five sixteenths of Benjamin Munjoy's
ship "Delight" ; and his widow married January 14, 1656,
John Brimblecome, first, who was one of the witnesses
to his will, and for third husband Thomas Chadwell.
His will made September 23, 1654, was probated April
25 following, and anticipating the marriage of his widow -
again, he made various provisions for the two sons. See
Genealogical Register, V, 306, and IX, 35.

Isaac Davis, of Salem, 1637, of Beverly, 1650, perhaps
was after at Carso; unless this were another whose eld-
est son Jolhn, born 1660, was living at Gloucester 1733
with other sons Samuel and James, beside children ot a
daughter who married a Fitz, and was of Ipswich, and
another daughter who married Smith. He had after first
destruction of Falmouth, estate set out 1680 but on
second destruction probably moved to safer quarters.

Joseph Davis, perhaps of Roxbury, there married
October 28, 1.670, Sarah Chamberlain, but I know not,
that either belong to that place. In the neighboring
Joseph, of Muddy River, had Mehitable, born February

3, 1685. Possibly he may be the man named in the
letter of Rev. Edmund Browne to Gov. Leverett, printed

■in Genealogical Register, VII, 268, as Daby.

Lawrence Davis, of Falmouth, 1662, had Rachel,
born 1663; Jacob, and perhaps others; removed to Ips-
wich, during the first Indian war, but came hack 1681,
but no more is told, only that Rachel married first
Robert Haynes; and second a Wedgewood, of Hampton.

Nathaniel Davis, of Mass., came in the "Mary and
John," or perhaps the "Hercules," having qualified him-
self by taking oath of allegiance and supremacy, April 16,
1634, but where he sat down I find not. See Genealog-
ical Register, IX, 268.

Nathaniel Davis, of Charlestown, 1677, had married
March 31, 1675, Mary Convers, who died November 6,
1690, aged 36; and wife Mary again who died April 18,
1721, aged 65. Nathaniel, his eldest child, baptized
April 19, 1677, died at Charlestown, the same year. He
had also Mary, baptized May 9, 1680; Barnabus, Dec.
1681; Sarah, July 22, 1683; Zachary, August 5, 1688; and
Mary, July 16, 1695; and was one of the constables 1690.

Nicholas Davis, of Charlestown, came in the
"Planter," early in 1635, aged 40, with Sarah, 48, prob-
ably his wife, and Joseph, 13, perhaps his son, with four
servants, whose names are then given, was in 1640 one
of the promoters of the settlement of Woburn, where his
wife Sarah, died May 24, 1643, and he married July 12
following, Elizabeth, widow of Joseph Isaacs; probably
he removed to York, and was there in 1652. His will,
of April 27, 1667, probated March 12, 1670, refers not
to any son, yet opens many remote relations, or perhaps

those of his wife, as cousin Barnard, the wife of Matthew,
of Boston; cousin William Locke, of Woburn, (spelled
Owburne); daughter Astine's (or Austin's) children,
Mary and Sarah, beside Mary, Elizabeth and Mehitable,
Dodd.

Nicholas Davis, of Barnstable, able to bear arms
1643, when he is last on the list, so that possibly it may be
an error, as Hamblen put him into a list of inhabitants
admitted after 1660. He may have been of Newport,
1638, and there learned the strange policy of toleration
in religion. In Sewel, I, 388, it is said he favored the
Quakers at their first meeting. He had wife Mary, and
was banished from Mass. for his peaceful pravity. At
Newport he was drowned before August 9, 1672, as
Roger Williams in his big book against the Quakers,
page 26, tells that in his public conference, there, with
the friends of George Fox, he made good use of the
event.

Philip Davis, of Plymouth, 1638, removed to Dux-
bury after. Farmer, M. S.

Philip Davis, of Hartford, came, perhaps, in the
"Confidence," from Southampton 1638, aged 12; but if
so, he probably was first at Newbury, where William
Isley, with whom he came, pitched his tent. He married
a daughter of Thomas Coleman, of Hadley, was freeman
of Connecticut, 1656, and died 1689, had two daughters
but no sons.

Richard Davis, of Ipswich, 1642.

Richard Davis, of Roxbury, married about 1654,
Sarah, daughter of John Burrill, had Richard, born Jan. 5,
1658, who died next year ; Richard, again, May 26, 1661 ;
and Sarah, and he died March 6, 1663, his will of Feb-
ruary 20, being probated March 19, of that year. But
there is a posthumous child and the widow married
Samuel Chandler, in 1664, and he died August, 1665.

Robert Davis, of Sudlbury, came in 1638, aged 30,
with Margaret, perhaps his sister 26, (who married a
Burnett)., in the Confidence of Southampton, as servant of
Peter Noyes, had wife Bridget, who survived, daughters
Sarah, born April 10, 1646; and Rebecca, and died July
19, 1655. His will is of July 17, and probated October
2 of that year.

Robert Davis, of Yarmouth, 1643, or earlier, had
Deborah, born January, 1646; Mary, May 28, 1648; An-
drew, May, 1650; John, March 1, 1652; Robert, August,
1654; Josiah, September, 1656; Hannah, September,
1658; Sarah, October, 1660; and Tristram. Perhaps
Sarah married October 23, 1679, Joseph Young.

Samuel Davis, of Watertown, removed early in 164(7,
to Boston, had wife Ann, who died soon; and married
July 20, 1651, Sarah, daughter of Richard Thayer,, of
Boston, had Samuel, born March 22, 1654; William,
September 4, 1656, died next year; and Sarah, December
19, 1657. Probably he was the freeman of 1645, and
perhaps brother of George. It may be, that his widow
married May 6, 1663, Jonathan Hayward.

Samuel Davis, of Groton, by wife Mary, had a daugh-
ter born January 31, 1662; John, March 10, 1664; Sarah,
August 12, 1667; Samuel, January 10, 1669; Barnabus|
April 17, 1672; and a daughter April 10, 1674; and died
December 28, 1699.

Samuel Davis, of Salisbury, married December 19,
1663, Deborah, daughter of William Barnes, had Samuel^

born January 26, 1667. Perhaps he was of Amesbury,
there took oath of allegiance, December 20, 1677.

Samuel Davis, of Charlestown, had served under Cap-
tain Turner, 1676, in Philip's war, but as early as Novem-
ber, 22, 1658, by wife Mary, had Elizabeth.

Stephen Davis, of Hartford, 1646, freeman of Con-
necticut, 1658.

iSylvanus Davis, of Sheepscott, 1659, swore allegiance
to the king 1665, wounded by the Indians 1676, at Arow-
skk, when Capt. Lake was killed, removed to Falmouth,
1680, there had command of the fort in the next Indian
war, taken by the French and Indian combined force,
May 20, 1690, carried to Canada; after his return was
"put into the Council by the Charter of William and Mary
1691; wrote an account of the conduct of the war, which
is in the three Mass. Hist. Collections, I, 101. He
lived at Hull in latter days, died 1704, leaving wife but
no children. His will, April 8, 1703, probated May 6,
1704, gives all his quarter of Casco lands to three daugh-
ters of James English, each of them paying three pounds
to his widow, and all his other estate to John Nelson, he
"promising justice and kindness" to Davis's widow.

Theophilus Davis, of Saco, • constable in 1636.
Folsom, 33, 121. It is almost certain that he soon re-
moved.

Thomas Davis, of Newbury, a sawyer, from Marl-
borough, in County Wiltshire, came in the "James," 1635,
embarked at Southampton, in April, arrived at Boston,
June 3, freeman June 2, 1641, removed next year to Haver-
hill, where he had son Joseph, and died 1683, aged 80.
He brought, says Coffin, wife Christian from England,
and his posterity is numerous. This name among the
passengers from Southampton in the James, by record at
State Paper Office, Somerby, read Thomas James. It
seems a wild error of his or mine; but if my reading be
correct, his surname may be that of the ship.

Thomas Davis, of Saco, an early settler, assessed to-
ward public worship 1636.

Tobias Davis, of Roxbury, brother of Richard, of the
same, married Sarah, daughter of Isaac Morrill, had
Sarah, born February 10, 1647, and his wife died Janu-
ary 23, by church record, but February 15, says the town,
1649. He married next, December 13, 1650, Bridget
Kinsman, had John, born April 17, 1651; Tobias, June
10, 1653; Isaac, December 7, 1655; Samuel, baptized with
the three preceding, June 12, 1659, who died young;
Samuel again, March 24, 1661, died at 18; and Abigail,
in town records said to be born September 5, 1671- was
of artillery company 1666, and died April 25, 1690.

Tobias Davis, of Dover, freeman 1666.

William Davis, of Boston, by wife Mary, had Abi-

1656, in the "Speedwell," then 45 years old, and died
1664, leaving good estate. His will of March 26, 1655,
made in view of a voyage to Barbadoes, thence to Eng-
land, probated July 11, 1664, names wife Joan, children
Daniel and Sarah, brother John, of which we know not
where he was, sister-in-law Mary Hodges, wife of
brother-in-law John Anderson, two nephews or nieces,
perhaps not in this country, and children of brother
Jeremy Davison, deceased, who was married and lived
at Lynn, England, as late as 1652. An Indian sagamore
gave him mortge. of Nahant. His inventory in-

cluded land in Boston, Charlestown, Pemaquid and about
2100 acres near Windsor, on both sides of the Connecti-
cut, was 1869 pounds sterling, 11 shillings, 11 pence.

Peter Davis, of Stonington, about 1680 or '90, was
perhaps brother of Daniel, or of Thomas, who was in
the same quarter at that time.

William Davis, of New Haven y 1639, had John, Har-
vard College, 1651, the scholar, lost on his voyage to
England. He died 1659, leaving widow Martha, who
was sister of John Wakeman, and died 1663. His only
surviving child Sarah, married William Russell, and to
educate his' son Noadiah, the grandmother left sixty
pounds.

William Davis, of Salem, 1639, had that year grant of
land, probably removed to Boston or elsewhere, may be
the mariner, who at Boston made his will September 14,
1655, as in Genealogical Register, V, 298, and lb, IX, 141.

William Davis, of Boston, apothecary, admitted of
the church July 28, 1644, in which year he married Mar-
garet, daughter of William Pynchon of Springfield, per-
haps a second wife. By her he had seven children, of
which Thomas, born September 3, 1645, may have been
one; also, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Ephraim, who died Aug.
2, 1652; and William, the last, born June 25, 1653; and
his wife died July 3 after. He married next, Huldah,
daughter of Rev. Zechariah Syrnraes, had Mary, born
December 3, 1656; Rebecca, August 3, 1658; Huldah,
December 21, 1659; Ruth, February 12, 1662; John, June
10, 1663; and Deborah, April 13, 1665, died young; by
another wife Judith, had Margaret, November 13, 1667;
and perhaps Hannah. He had still another wife Sarah,
and hope of progeny by her when he made his will, in
which all of these children except Deborah, are men-
tioned. He was a man of wealth, enterprise and des-
cretion, artillery company 1643, freeman 1645, a captain,
representative for Springfield, 1652, where probably he
lived some few years, also for Haverhill, 1668, was em-
ployed as commander of a troop in Ninigret's troubles,
joint commissioner in 1653, with Leverett to the Dutch
Government at New York, and one of the founders of
the third church. His will, made May 17, 1676, pro-
bated nine days after, being only two days after his death,
gave four hundred pounds to his wife Sarah, and con-
tains many particulars. His widow married Captain
Edward Palmes, of New London.

William Davis, of Roxbury, probably brother of
Tobias, freeman 1673, had John, born October 1, 1643;
Samuel, February 21, 1645; Joseph, whose date, pre-
sumed, is October 12, 1649. His wife Elizabeth died or
was buried May 4, 1658; and he married October 21, next
Alice Thorp, who had William and Elizabeth, baptized
June 14, 1663: but perhaps they were not living when
this second wife died 1678, probably soon after birth of
Jonathan, February 28, of that year. He had also,
Matthew, but I know not the day of his birth, or whether

he was not by a third wife made executrix, but not
named in the will of December 6, 1683, in which he men-
tioned all these children and that Matthew and Jonathan
are under age. He died December 9, 1683, aged 66.

William Davis, of Boston, by wife Mary, daughter
of Nicholas Parker, had Joanna, born August 16, 1655;
and I presume, that the same man by wife Susanna, had
Joanna, born July 26, 1657, sold his estate in 1658, and
went to Barbados.

William Davis, of Marblehead, a petitioner 1668,
against imposts.

William Davis, of Boston, mariner, in his will Oct.
31, 1690, not probated before August 5, 1701, gives estate
to wife Mary and children, not named.

William Davis, of Haverhill, married December 31,
1700, Mary, daughter of John Kelly, Jr., of Newbury.
In many instances, some of the above named are spelled
Davies as well as Davis; and the utmost care in arrang-
ing relationship between parties with a name so widely
diffused will sometimes be at fault. "A courageous
soldier," is the designation of a Sergeant Davis in the
Pequot war, 1637; but who can individualize him? There
came in the "Elizabeth," 1635, from London to Boston,
Margaret Davis, aged 32, with her son John, 9; Mary, 4;
and Elizabeth, 1; the wife and family of some person who
had come a year or two before, and to find the husband
and father, may be the happiness of some more skillful
enquirer. Twenty of this name had in 1834, been gradu-
ated at Harvard, and as many more at the other New
England colleges.

wife Joanna Hodges, had Daniel and Sarah, who married
March 24, 1665, Joseph Lynde, artillery company 1648,
went home 1655, probably on business and came back

DAWSON: — Daniel Dawson, of Ipswich, may easily
be misprinted for Davison. But Coffin, in Genealogical
Register, VI, 250, calls widow, 1693, Margaret. Yet
she may have been second wife of Davison.

George Dawson, of Boston, 1679, a Quaker, who
had been whipped for attending the meeting 1677.

Henry Dawson, of Boston, admitted of the church
May 16, 1641, freeman June 2 after, a laborer, whose
wife was in England. He was in the employment of
William Hudson, Jr., who, when he went to serve in
the Parliament's cause against the king, left the care of
his family two years to this young man in consequence
of which he was brought into great peril of his life, as
set forth in Winthrop II, 249. Probably he repented
soon, for he was in October, 1646, restored to his rank.

Henry Dawson, of Boston, a soldier in the company
of Capt. William Turner in February, at Medfield, and
on Connecticut river, April, 1676, under Capt. Pierce,
freeman 1678.

Robert Dawson, of New Haven, had John, born
1677, by first wife Sarah, daughter of William Tuttle,
as erroneously has been said, and married next Hannah,
widow of John Russell, had Thomas, born 1693.

DAY: — Anthony Day, of Gloucester, 1645, had wife
Susanna, and seven children, John, born April 28, 1657;
Ezekiel, March 12, 1660, died soon; Ezekiel, again,
May 19, 1662; Nathaniel, September 9, 1665; Elizabeth,
April 2, 1667; Samuel, February 25, 1670; and Joseph,
April 4, 1672; and died April 23, 1707, aged 90. His
widow died December 10, 1717, aged 93.

Isaac Day, of Cambridge, by wife Susanna, had
Robert, born October 24, 1686 ; and Susanna, November
28, 1688. Robert died February 4, 1688. He was a
London citizen, embroiderer, but when he came, who
was his wife when he removed are matters unknown.
Probably he left in the summer of 1692.

Some two or three Johns can find no proper habita-
tion, yet one is seen subscribing to memorial, 1668, at
Salem, against imposts.

John Day, of Boston, 1677, a merchant, died that
year, in his will of September 4, calls himself of Frome
Woodlands, near Warminster, in Wiltshire, on the
border of Somersetshire, and gives all his property to
his brother Robert of that place; and probably had no
wife or children.

Nathaniel Day, of Ipswich, 1637. Kimball.

Ralph DaY, of Dedham, freeman 1645, died October
28, 1677, in his will of September 12 preceding, wife
Abigail, who Was daughter of Daniel Pond, and children
John, Ralph, Mary, who was wife of John Paine, Abigail,
and son-in-law John Ruggles, are named. But his first
wife was Susan, daughter of Jonathan Fairbanks, who
in 1668 mentioned her four children in his will, and
they are found in Dedham church records, to be Fliza-
beth, baptized July 3, 1648, taken with the town records
that shows Mary, born November 9, 1649; Susan, 1652;
and John, April 15, 1654; while the next is found Abi-
gail, daughter of Ralph and Abigail, April, 1661.

Robert Day, of Cambridge, came in the "Elizabeth,"
1634, from Ipswich, aged 30, with wife Mary, 28, free-
man May 6, 1635, went to Hartford, perhaps with
Hooker, in 1636, or very soon after, had several lots
among first proprietors. His first wife died probably
before removal, and the mother of his children was
Edatha, sister of Deacon Edward Stebbins. She is
named in his will, May 20, 1648, which is printed in
Trumbull's Colonial Records of Connecticut, I, 487; but
though children are provided for, we find not names nor
number. They were Thomas, Sarah, who married
September, 1658, Nathaniel Gunn, of Hartford, and next
November 24, 1664, Samuel Kellogg, of Hatfield, and
was killed with her son Joseph, September 19, 1677, by
the Indians ; Mary, who married October 28, 1659,
Samuel Ely, of Springfield, and next, April 12, 1694,
Thomas Stebbins, and next, December 11, 1696, deacon
John Coleman, of Hatfield, where she died 1725 ; and
John. His widow married John Maynard, of Hartford,
who died without children, leaving to the children of
Day, "provided they carry themselves well towards"
their mother, some decent estate, and next married in
1657 or 8, Elizur Holyoke, of Springfield, who she sur-
vived by twelve years, and died October 24, 1688. Of
descendants of this Robert in the male line, full account
is printed by Rev. George E. Day, of Northampton,

Robert Day, of Ipswich, came in the "Hopewell,"
Capt. Bundocke, 1635, from London, aged 30, freeman
June 2, 1641, was living in 1681. Perhaps Sarah, who
married at Ipswich, June 17, 1674, David Fiske was his
daughter Hannah, who came in the "Elizabeth and
Ann," 1635, aged 20, may not have been a relative.

Stephen Day, of Cambridge, the earliest printer on
our side of the ocean, was a locksmith of Cambridge,
England, brought over, in the "John," 1638, by Rev.
Josse Glover, who died on the voyage. He began
business in March, 1639, but was, I fear, unthrifty, for
in 1647, the Almanac of his press purports to come from
Greene became ruler in the office. Yet he was enter-
his son who was very young, and the year following
prising, having for his service, unluckily, been rewarded
by grant of 300 acres in 1641, he was 2 years after en-
gaged in settlement of Lancaster, and reduced to work
as journeyman of Greene all his latter days .He brought
from England, wife Rebecca, who had been widow of
William Boardman, had Matthew, and probably after
coming hither had Stephen, who died December 1, 1639,
and Moses. His wife died October 27, 1659, he was ad-
mitted of the church February 28, 1661, but was never
freeman, and died December 22, 1668, aged 58. A
catalogue of books of his printing is given by Thomas,
in his History, I, 227-34.

Thomas Day, of Gloucester, married December 30,
1673, Mary Laughton, had Thomas, born May 27, 1675 ;
Mary, December, 1677; and Joseph, January 24, 1680.
An earlier Thomas, whose inventory was found by Coffin
1670, was perhaps father of the preceding, born about
1651, and of Sarah, about 1652, may have been of Salem,
a signer of the memorial 1668, against imposts, and
perhaps father of John, another signer.

Timothy Day, of Gloucester, freeman 1690, married

July 24, 1679, wife Phebe had son born February 20,
1682.

Wentworth Day, of Boston, 1640, has prefix of re-
spectability on admission to the church September 22,
but called a single man; soon after married, had Eliza-
beth, baptized September 26, 1641, at 8 days old; and
Wentworth, August 13, 1643, at 6 days. He was a sur-
geon at Cambridge, and is honored by Rev. Mr. Hale,
in his tract on Witchcraft, as saving in 1652, a woman
charged with the horrid offence. Perhaps he went home,
for one of this unusual name was in 1658, fined and im-
prisoned as one of the fifth monarchy men, setting up
the imaginary reign of King Jesus to disturb the abso-
lute throne of Oliver Cromwell, in his last years. In
September, 1661, living in London, he had a legacy in
the will of Edward Shrimpton.

William Day, of Boston, 1669, a mariner.

Of descendants of first Robert a Register was pub-
lished some years since by Rev. George E. Day, who
shows that nineteen had been graduated at Yale, and
one at each of the colleges following. Dartmouth,
Williams, Amherst and Brown, and that ten of the eleven
min. (ministers?) were living at his date of publication.
One at Harvard College, 1806, was the earliest of the
name in that catalogue.

1667.

Philip Delano, of Plymouth, came in the "Fortune,"
1621, born of French or Flemish Protestant parents,
but of the English church at Leyden, Winslow says, and
19 years old at his coming; was probably son of Jean
and Marie, de Launey, baptized December 7, 1603, in the
Walloon church of Leyden ; was freeman of that Colony
1632, removed soon after to Duxbury, married Decem-
ber 19, 1634, Esther Dewsbury, and next, 1657, Mary,
widow of James Glass, daughter of William Pontus,
(though Ricketson makes her daughter of James
Churchill, who is wholly unknown to me) ; and had child-
ren (of which we are uncertain who may be elder or
younger, whether all, or part, by first wife) Thomas,
Mary, Philip, John, Jane, Rebecca, Jonathan, Esther,
and Samuel. But as a family genealogy in MS. has been
given to me, though it is confined to the descendants of
Jonathan, yet as it purports to give the offspring of the
Dewsbury marriage, three sons Samuel, Thomas and
Jonathan, beside one daughter who died soon, it might
be probable that three daughters and one son came of
the second marriage. He removed to Bridgewater.
was one of the purchasers of Dartmouth, 1652, and in
1662, of Middleborough, and died about 1681, aged 79
years old. Mary married November 29, 1655, Jonathan
Durham. De La Noye was the name at first.

DEMING, DEMON or DEMENT:— John Deming.
of Wethersfield, 1635, one of the chief settlers, repre-
sentative very often from 1649 to 61, named in the
charter of 1662, married Honour, daughter of Richard
Treat, had John, born September 9, 1638; and others.
His will of June 26, 1690, with probate 1705, names sons
John, Jonathan, 1639; Samuel, 1646; David, Ebenezer;
and five daughters, wives of John Morgan (whose name
was probably Rachel) ; of Richard Beckley ; of Thomas
Hurlbut (whose name was Mary); of Thomas Wright,
and probably Sarah, wife of Samuel Moody, beside some
grand-children.

Nicholas Deming, of Pemaquid, swore fidelity to
Massachusetts, 1674.

Thomas Deming, of Wethersfield, perhaps brother of
first John, married July 24, 1645, Mary Sheaffe, was of
Farmington, and removed to Southampton, L. I., thence
to Easthampton, where posterity is still living. Some-
times in the records the name is Demon or Dement,
and the affinity is exceedingly difficult to be traced with
exactness. Eight of this name had, in 1828, been grad-
uated at New England colleges.

Boykem, had James, born August, 1664, died soon;
John, November, 1665, died at 3 years; Mary, or Mercy,
July 26, 1668; Sarah, April 12, 1671; Hannah, 1673:
probably died young ; John and James, again twins, Feb-
ruary 6, 1677, of which James died soon; Elizabeths
November 24, 1681; and James, again, January 5, 1683i
died May 8, 1719 ; aged 78. Sarah married 1710, Joseph
Sackett ; and Elizabeth married 1707, Samuel Harrison.

John Denison, of Ipswich, 1648, by Farmer, was
thought to be a brother of the major-general, but I can
hardly think so, unless he went home, as we know no
more of him.

Robert Denison, of Milford, about 1645, had Samuel
born 1656; Esther, 1658; and Hannah, 1662; removed
1667 with Branford people to Newark, N. J.

Thomas Denison, of Kittery, 1652.

William Denison, of Rokbury, came with wife Mar-
garet, and sons Daniel, Edward and George, in 1631.
and was, perhaps, in the Lion, with Winthrop's wife and
eldest son, beside apostle Eliot, in the record of whose
church he stands third in the list; freeman July 3, 1632,
representative 1635, but in 1637 taking sides with Wheel-
wright, was disarmed. His wife died February 3, 1646
in the church records of Eliot's affection, called "old
mother Denison" ; and he died January 25, 1654.

William Denison, of Boston, living at Pulling Point,
married October 27, 1659, Mary Parker. Of this name
six had been graduated in 1834, at Harvard, but not one
within 90 years, and of them J am uncertain about the
parentage of Daniel, in 1690, and George, in 1693, but
the earlier has the star marq in the catalogue of 1698,
at other New England colleges seven had been gradu-
ated, beside two with double "n."

DENLO: — William Denlo, of Pemaquid, took oath of
fidelity to Massachusetts, 1674.

DENMAN:— Alexander Denman, perhaps of Hamp-
ton, married about 1678, the widow of Abraham Perkins,
Jr., probably daughter of Thomas Sleeper.

John Denman, of Dorchester, had Mary, who mar-
ried Clement Maxfield. But great uncertainty prevails
with reference to his residence, as no success followed
the search for the line in Dorchester. In the adminis-
tration on estate of widow Smead by her brother Israel
Stoughton, 1639, of Dorchester, this man is entitled to
a share of her property, as well as his daughter Max-
field.

but the later absent, and the father gives him, "in case he
doth not come personally into the country," for half the
testator's estate, "twenty shillings and no more."

William Dennis, of Scituate, made his will Febru<

Executrix, and he gives only to son-in-law William
Parker and Remember, Dependence and Experience
Litchfield, children of Lawrence, who married Judith,
daughter of his wife no doubt, yet there may be doubt

whether any children of his married Parker or Litch-
field.

DENTON :— Richard Denton, of Wethersfield, about
1640, bred at the University of Cambridge, where he
had his A. B, 1623, being of Catherine Hall, perhaps
came over in 1638 or 9; and we fear, that the long dis-
sension at Wethersfield about Rev. Henry Smith made
it desirable for him to move about 1644, and he went to
Stamford, and after a few months or years, to Hemp-
setad, Long Island, where he died 1663. Probably he
had family, perhaps son Daniel. We learn from Mather,
that he had been a minister at Halifax, in Yorkshire,
and most of his chapter 9, in Book III, 95 is taken up
with telling that he was a little man, blind of one eye,
and wrote a system of divinity. Better authority tells
that he was of good family, and had, in 1631, curacy of
Coley Chapel in that large parish.

Richard Denton, of Dorchester, married December
11, 1657, Ruth, daughter of Thomas Tileston, died Dec.
28, 1658. His widow married October 13, 1663, Timothy
Foster.

Eleazer and others. This Eleazer had Eleazer, and was
grand-father of Rev. Jonathan in Harvard College Cata-
logue, 1747, given Dorby.

Francis Derby, of Warwick, died 1663. His will of
October of that year mentioned wife Ann, eldest son
Francis, and other child without naming him. The
widow married John Read. Her son Francis was born
January 20, 1660; and Eleazer, March 21, 1662.

was a shopkeeper, assisted by his wife in that way, and
founder of the distinguished family of this name, great
grand-father of Elias Hasket Derby, who died 1799, at
Salem. Variation of this patronymic to Dorby and
Darby, may be presumed. Nine of this name, including
Rev. Jonathan Dorby, 1747, minister of Scituate, a man
of great promise, great grandson of Edward, had been
graduated in 1828, at Harvard and one at Bowdoin.

DESBOROUGH:— Isaac Desborough, of Lynn,
came in the Hopewell, Captain Bundock, from London,
1635, aged 18. He was of Elltisley, about 12 miles
from Cambridge, England, was, no doubt, related to
Major-General John, who married a sister of Oliver
Cromwell, and so by the usurper, entrusted to be of his
upper house; and we may be sure went home in a few
years, after 1638, when Lewis gives him residence here.

Samuel Desborough, of New Haven, 1639, probably
from London, son of James of Elltisley in County Cam-
bridge, England, lord of that manor, probably brother
of Isaac, born November 13 or 30, 1619, was one of the
early settlers of Guilford, 1641, and at the gathering of
the church, June 19, 1643, though so young, he was one
of the seven pillars. The name of his wife is not found,
probably he had more than one; and daughter Sarah,
born March, 1649; is the only record of his family. In
Mather, II, cap. 12, he is called John in the list of
Assistants of the Colony, but that error is less gross
than that of the date 1637, which was before any part
of the colony was occupied by Christians. He went
home in the Autumn of 1650, with his minister Whit-
field. His wife died of small-pox, late in 1654; and he
married Rose, widow of Samuel Penoyer, whose brother
William, a merchant of London, benefactor of Harvard
College, was trustee in the marriage settlement. Being
brother of John, the Major-General, who had married a
sister of Cromwell, and was one of the lords, he got
rapid preferment, was a general officer, commissioner
of revenues, and was soon chosen to parliament, in 1651,
for Edinburgh, and in 1656, by Oliver's favor was re-

turned to another of his assemblies, nicknamed Parlia-
ments for Mid-Lothian, and rose to be Chancellor for
the ancient kingdom, with 2000 lbs. sterl. annual allow-
ance, in which station he continued some time under
Richard. That successor in the royal protectorship,
his brother, was one of the principal instruments of
overthrow; as he had, indeed, successfully counteracted
the desperate ambition of the great captain for the title
of king, though he was elevated by his brother-in-law
to a seat in the "other house," with the empty name of

DEXTER: — Francis Dexter, a youth of 13, came in
the "Planter," 1635, but where he lived is unknown.

Gregory Dexter, of Providence, preached in the bap-
tist church, 1643, had been a printer and stationer in
London, there brought out that curious book, Roger
■William's Key into the language of America, and his
admiration of that author induced him to accompany or
follow him; was town clerk, 1654; and President the
year before, died at 90 years, it is said, in 1700. His
children by wife Abigail, were Stephen, born November
1, 1647; James, May 6, 1650, perhaps, but the year is
not plain; John, November 6, 1652; and Abigail, Sep-
tember 24, 1655, who married James Angel. But_ in
the latter days, a descendant of the sixth generation
from Gregory has enlarged the family with Pelig, 1658.

Richard Dexter, of Boston, admitted a townsman
February 28, 1642, was of Charlestown, 1644, on Mystic
side, where his estate descended through five genera-
tions. By wife Bridget, one of the friends of the meek
preacher Marmaduke Matthews, of Maiden, he had
Sarah, born November 1, 1644, and other children of
whose names I know only Elizabeth, who married about
1658, James Mellen; and Alice, wife of Benjamin
Mussey, both born perhaps in England, and two other
children, it is said, of which one was John, born about
1640. He was, I think, grandfather of John, and father
of Rev. Samuel, born at Maiden, October 23, 1700, Har-
vard College, 1720, minister of Dedham, ordained May

6, 1724, father of Hon. Samuel, born March 16, 1726,
who was distinguished as patriot before the Revolution,
and died at Maiden, June 10, 1810, leaving bequest to
promote the study of sacred literature at Harvard
College.

Thomas Dexter, of Lynn, 1630, came probably in the
fleet with Winthrop, freeman May 18, 1631, whose name
has been omitted in printed volume, because he was de-
franchised March 4, 1633; was one of the purchasers to
promote settlement of Sandwich, 1637, but did not re-
move for several years, was admitted freeman of Ply-
mouth Colony, June 1, 1658, lived at Barnstable, there
had Mary, born Aug. 11, 1649, had probably other child-
ren beside Thomas and William, perhaps born in Eng-
land, certainly the former; and the kindness of tradition
gives doubtful grandson Richard, and great-grandson
William ; and died in Boston, early in 1677. Lewis, 159.
Six of this name had been graduated at Harvard, and
six at Yale and Brown.

DICKINSON:— John Dickinson, of Salisbury, 1640,
had wife Mary, who died April 16, 1647; and by her
had Mary, born March 12, 1640 ; and John, October 20,
1642; had, perhaps, Ann, a second wife, died 1679; and
he married April 14, 1681, Alice Roper, who may have
been the widow of John, of Dedham; and he died
December 30, 1683.

Nathaniel Dickinson, of Wethersfield, 1637, town-
clerk, 1645, representative 1646-56, removed 1659, to
Hadley, was deacon in both places, freeman 1661, lived
a few years at Hatfield, but went back to Hadley,
died June 16, 1676. Four children, John, Joseph,
Thomas and Hannah or Ann, he took with him on first
going to Wethersfield, there had other six, Samuel,
born 1638 ; Obidiah, April 15, 1641 ; Nathaniel, August,
1643, or perhaps four years earlier; Nehemiah, about
1644; Hezekiah, February, 1646; and Azariah, October
4, 164S. Hannah, who in her days is called Ann, mar-
ried 1) John Clary, Jr., 1670, who died at Northfield;
and 2) Enos Kingsley, of Northampton.

Philemon Dickinson, of Salem, tanner, came with
Benjamin Cooper, of Brampton, County Suffolk, as one
of his servants, (but this might be to deceive an arbitrary
government), embarked May 10, 1637, in the "Mary

Ann," from Yarmouth, had grant of land 1639, admitted
of the church 1641, freeman June 2, 1641, married Mary
daughter of Thomas Payne, of Salem, had baptized there
Mary, March 20, 1642; Thomas, March 10, 1644; Eliza-
beth, 1646 ; and Peter, July, 1648 ; removed to Southold,
L. I., and was in 1662 received as freeman of Connect-
icut, but his will was presented in New York, where his '
widow was made administrator, October 28, 1672. Uni-
formly this name is Dickerson in New York records, as
it is found in the Augmentation Office, Westminster
Hall, on the return from the custom house at Yarmouth,
but the name of baptism is spelt Feleman, that seems
much unlike that of the friend of St. Paul. Hon. Mahlon
Dickinson, late a Senator of U. S. from New Jersey, is
a descendant.

Thomas Dickinson, of Fairfield, had been at New
Haven, 1642, and it is unknown when he removed to
Fairfield, but there he died about 1658, his inventory
being of September 11, leaving Thomas, three daugh-
ters, and widow Mary.

Thomas Dickinson, of Rowley, 1643, died 1662, leav-
ing James and four daughters. Of thirty-one gradu-
ates of New England colleges, only three (1834) had
been of Harvard.

1636, from Bitteswell County, Leicester, where he had

England, about 1630. His will of May 1, 1666, pro-
bated June 1, 1667, is abstracted in Genealogical Reg-
ister, VII, 225.

John Dillingham, of Ipswich, who came in the fleet
with Winthrop was perhaps, brother to Edward, a man
of respectable condition, as is proved by the prefix, at
his request, October 19, 1630, and also at admission as
freeman May 18 following, came from Leicestershire,
was first at Boston, being No. 71 of the list of members,
and dead is written against it, so that he died soon, leav-
ing wife Sarah, and children Edward "and Sarah; but
Sarah alone was living when her mother made her will at
Ipswich, July 10, 1636. She married John Caldwell,
and was probably a relative to Richard Saltonstall and
Samuel Appleton, as may be judged from that instru-
ment. See the fine Appleton family memorial.

by fire in 1656, and died 1658, had Thomas, Moses and
John. It may be that he is the same person under
Deming, but it is not likely.

DIMMOCK, DAMUCK or DIMICK:— Thomas
Dimmock, of Dorchester, 1635, selectman that year,
freeman May 25, 1636 ; removed to Hingham 1638, next
year to Scituate, and in 1640 to Barnstable, of which he
was August 7, 1650, ordained ruling Elder, and repre-
sentative five years, being the first from the town in
December, 1640. He had Thomas, perhaps John, and
certainly Timothy, baptized January, 1640, died in a few
months; Mehitable, April 17, 1642; Shubael, September
15, 1644; besides a son and daughter, twins, buried
without names, March 18, 1641. His noncup. (?)
will give all to his wife for the reason "that the children
were hers as well as his." Various spelling has this
name appeared in; and it may, originally, be the same
as that of Dymocke, the hereditary champion of Eng-
land, who at coronations, owes the service of challenge
to all competitors for the crown.

bers, freeman April 17, 1637, by wife Alice, had Thomas,
born January 9, baptized January 17, 1636; Abigail, bap-
tized October 8, 1637, though the town record has it
born in December; and Fathergone, born December
25, 1638, in the church records of his baptism on January
6, 1639, is marked "son of our gone brother"; was one
of the favorers of his fellow christian, Mrs. Hutchinson,
and therefore disarmed November, 1637, died in a storm
December 15 next, on Boston neck. Winthrop, I, 248,

Providence are more ludicrous than philosophical. In
August following, his widow married Richard Crichley.

DINGLEY: — John Dingley, of Lynn, removed to
Sandwich, 1637, thence to Marshfield, about 1644, and
died 1658; by wife Sarah had Jacob, Mary, who married
December 19, 1654, Capt. Josiah Standish, and died the
next year; Sarah, probably who married 1658, William
Ford, Jr., and Hanna, who married Josiah Kean; be-
side probably that John, who was buried July 9, 1665.
The family spread into Duxbury, and descendants re-

DISBROW, DISBOROW or DESBROUGH:—
Nicholas Disbrow, of Hartford, 1639, an early settler,
not an original proprietor, married 1640, Mary Brunson,
had Phebe, baptized December 20, 1646; Abigail, born
February 1, 1649; and probably more; and, after 1669,
says Porter, he married Elizabeth, widow of Thwaite
Strickland; died in 1683, aged 71, and left four daugh-
ters. Mary, married Obidiah Spencer; one married
Samuel Eggleston; Phebe married John Kelsey; and
Abigail married Robert Flood. In the year of his
death, some ridiculous mischief is, by the Magnalia, VI,
69, honored as a tragedy of witchcraft; but Cotton bor-
rowed the nonsense from his father's Remarkable
Providense, page 113. By Colonial Records of Con-
necticut, I, 45, he seems to have been unfortunate in his
early relations.

Peter Disbrow, of Rye, in New Haven jurisdiction,
1660, of which he was one of the purchasers from the
Indians, representative 1665, perhaps also for Green-

wich, in 1681 was called 50 years old. He married Sarah
daughter of Nicholas Knapp, of Stamford. A John Dis-
brow, of Rye, 1683, may have been his son; also Thomas,
Fairfield, 1685, or earlier, who had wife Mercy, and son
Thomas, who seems to be of age at death of his father
early in 1707.

DIX: — Anthony Dix, of Plymouth, one of the first
comers, 1623, in the 'Ann," took a share in the division
of lands next year, but not in the division of cattle, 1627.
because he left the Colony and joined with Conant and
other Massachusetts people, freeman May 18, 1631, was
taken by the pirate Bull in 1632, but allowed easily to
escape, and in 1637, was of Charlestown or Salem, had
wife Tabitha, who after his death married Nathaniel
Pitman; and was lost by shipwreck of his thirty ton
boat on Cape Cod, December 15, 1638, the same storm in
which Dinely perished at Boston. This we learn from
Danforth's Almanac. See Winthrop, I, 287; who spells
the name Dick which Felt prefers to give as Dike, and
both Dikes and Deekes are found in some records.

Edward Dix, of Watertown, came probably, in the
fleet with Winthrop, and was first at Boston, No. 49,
among members of the church, freeman March 4, 1635,
by wife Jane, whose family name was Wilkinson, had
Abigail, born May 2, 1637; Mary, May 2, 1639; John,
September 4, 1640; and Rebecca, February 18, 1642, had
second wife Susanna, who survived him; was aselectman
and died July 9, 1660. The daughters were all married,
viz., Abigail, December 1, 1653, to Thomas Parks, of
Cambridge; Mary, February 5, 1663; Abraham Brown,
Jr. ; and Rebecca, February 18, 1668, Thomas Flagg, Jr.
His will of June 25, 1660, makes son John executor,
but the inventory was sworn to December following, by
John Wincoll, his guardian. Bond gives him another
daughter Deborah, without date of birth, who married
Richard Barnes of Marlborough, he says, and distin-

guishes him from the Boston church member by re-
marking that he embarked at the age of 19, on January
16, 1635, and that Jane Wilkinson, aged 20, embarked
at the same time. So that there must have been two of
the same name. But the member of the Boston church,
and not the youth of 19, must have been that freeman,
and this Deborah must have been a widow, for she was
mother of Leonard, of Wethersheid.
John Dix, of Taunton, 1669. Baylies, II, 241.
John Dix, of Hartford, perhaps brother of Leonard,
was required by court to marry Mary Birdwell, but was
complained of for beating her, 1676, was still there taxed
1683; sold his house and land 1686, and one of his child-
ren, John, died 1692.

Leonard Dix, of Wethersfield, 1645, had wife Sarah,
and died December 7, 1697, leaving John, Samuel and
three daughters. He had been of Branford, and had
grant of land there 1648; was born probably 1624, and
the will which names the daughters Mercy, Hannah,
and Elizabeth, provided for the widow who died 1709.
Ralph Dix, of Ipswich, 1647, fisherman, had wife
Esther and children John, born March 12, 1659 ; Samuel,
August 28, 1661 ; removed next year to Reading, there
had Stephen, June 18, 1664; and Stephen again, Decem-
ber 14, 1672; freeman 1684, and died 1688. Of his
descendants are Rev. Samuel, Harvard College, 1758,
and J. A. Dix, late U. S. Senator from New York.

Ralph Dix, of Maiden, freeman 1685, had lived at
Reading years before.

Samuel Dix, from Norwich, England, had leave to
embark at Great Yarmouth, April 8, 1637, being aged
43 years, with wife Joane, 38; two children, Priscilla
and Abigail, and two servants William Storey and Daniel
Linsey, to come to Boston to inhabit, but I have not yet
learned where he sat down.

William Dix, of Hartford, perhaps brother of Leon-
ard, a single man, died March, 1676 or 7. Six of this
name had been graduated at Harvard in 1834.

DIXEY:— John Dixey, of Salem, 1639. Felt.
Thomas Dixey, of Salem, 1637, had there baptized,
Mary, January 12, 1645; Abigail, October 1, 1648;
Thomas, January 29, 1654; Margaret, March 16, 1656;
and John, April 26, 1657; was of Marblehead, 1674, died
1691.

Another Thomas, at Marblehead, signed the petition
against imposts 1688, as did the Salem man. Yet per-
haps it was the same man, for in such cases it is some-
times thought that more value attaches to the number
than to the argument, and undue artifice is employed to
swell the list. Margaret, aged 18, was one of the ser-
vants of Percival Greene, embarked at London, 1635,
in the "Susan and Ellen."

William Dixey, of Salem, had come to Cape Ann,
1629 was next at Lynn, had baptized at Salem, Abigail,
December 25, 1636; Ann, May 17, 1638; John, 1639;
Elizabeth, 1641 ; and others ; freeman May 14, 1634 ; was
captain of Beverly, about 1677, and died 1690, aged 82.

DIXON: — Jeremiah Dixon, of New Haven, 1639,
one of the seven for founding of the church June 4, re-
moved before 1644.

William Dixon, probably was of Charlestown, 1633-
S, Kittery, 1649, freeman 1652, died March, 1666, per-
haps then of York. In his will of February 13 of that
year, gave to wife Joan, son James, daughter Susanna
Frost, perhaps wife of Charles, to John Brown, and to
children of Henry Milbury. Seven of this name, be-
sides four called Dickson, had, in 1834, been graduated
at the New England colleges, though none of either at
Harvard. See Dickson.

DIX WELL: — James Dixwell, of New Haven, a pro-
prietor 1685, unless the record be wrong, as by confusion
with the assumed surname I suspect.

John Dixwell, of Dorchester, 1640, gave his share,
with others, in Thompson's Island, February 7, 1642,
for support of a free school.

John Dixwell, of New Haven, came in 1664, it is
said, after long concealment in Europe or elsewhere,
flying from prosecution as one of the regicides, but it
is supposed that his first quiet residence was at Hadley,
with Goffe & Whalley, under shelter of Rev. John Russell,
though the length of time is unknown. At New Haven
he was called by himself and others, James Davids, mar-
ried November 3, 1678, I think for second wife, Joanna,
widow of Benjamin Ling, with whom who died in few
weeks) he obtained comfortable property, and he mar-
ried again October 23, 1677, Bathsheba How, had Mary,
born June 9, 1679; John, March 6, 1681; and Elizabeth,
July 14, 1682, who died young. His widow died at
Middletown, December 27, 1729, aged 83, so that she
was 39 years younger than her husband. His conceal-
ment was perfect, but his real name was known to one
or more of the chief people and confessed by himself
shortly before his death March 18, 1689, in his 82d year.
His only daughter Mary, married Decmber 23, 1707,
John Collins, of Middletown. The family was and is
still highly respected in Kent; and in the great civil war,
the head of it Sir Basil stood and suffered for the royal
cause.

deacon and died February 21, 1686. His age was great,
perhaps 95. His wife Abigail had Daniel, John, Eph--
raim, Lydia, who married 1645, Samuel Hicks ; Abigail,
born January 13, 1632, at the age of 60, became the
second wife of Samuel Lothrop, outlived him many
years and died January 23, 1735.

Another John came in the Truelove from London,
1635, aged 16.

Groton, in County Suffolk, where she was baptized 1601,
sister of our first Governor of Massachusetts, married

1641. He went home in 1642, back next year, and went
again 1644, but came back next year. The date of his
death is not found, nor that of his wife, though we see
proof of his request to the General Court, September
1653, for his 600 acres to be laid out, and of her living
1656, when she gave to Capt. Joseph Gardner dowry on
his marriage with her daughter, and the same shows
that her husband Emanuel was dead.

1665; John, 1667; and Joanna, 1671.

nothing more of him, except that in 1664 (three years
before he married) he was 27 years old.

Theophilus Downing, of Salem, 1642, had grant of
land that year, and son Theophilus, 1642; Ann or Han-

Samuel, 1635, husband and wife united with the church
1636, next year was disarmed as a stipporter of Wheel-
wright, def ranchised, and 1638,' driven to Rhode Island.
Other children were William, Henry, Mahershallalhas-
baz, and Charles. At Newport, he was in good esteem,
Secretary of that colony, and prevailed with the govern-
ment of ours in 1659, when his wife had come to Boston
to preach Quakerism, and was condemned to die there-
for to spare her life ; but the insane desire of martyrdom
led the poor woman back here in 1660 to. the scaffold;
serving to show how useless was the unnatural lenity of
Endicott, who knew well what the honor of God
demanded.

William Dyer, of Dorchester, died 1672, aged 93.

William Dyer, of Lynn, had Mary, 1673; and James :
1681.

EARLE: — Francis Earle, a soldier, 1675, in Moseley's
company at. the great Narragansett swamp fight.

John Earle, of Northampton,, 1662, had come to
Boston, 1656, aged 17, in the "Speedwell," from London,
at Northampton, about 15 years, removed to unknown
place, after having there married 1663, Mary, daugh-
ter of first John Webb, and had Noah, John" and three
daughters, of whom Mary was, perhaps, one. He may
have been one of the Townsmen of Dartmouth, in 1686,
or it may have been son of same name.

Ralph Earle, of Rhode Island, 1638, among free-
man 1655, had been admitted an inhabitant 1639, per-
haps had sons Ralph, Thomas and William; and it is
mentioned in Church's Indian wars. But in 1686, there
were both Ralph, sen. and jr., among townsmen at
Dartmouth, it may be doubted which of the two he
meant. One, not the jr., is called the son of William.
I think Ralph, of Portsmouth, R. I., 1638, that pur-
chased 1653, of Underhill his conquest at Hartford,,
(from the Dutch suspicions soon after the exploit), was
he who made his will 1673, naming wife Joan executrix.

Robert Earle, of Boston, 1679, kept the prison 1681,
and several years after; died 1698.

Robert Earle, of Newport, had come in the "Her-
cules," I suppose, 1643, to some part of Mass., was born
1606, it is said, yet had wife in 1699, living at age of 105,
however unlikely that she was so many years older.
There were Roger and Samuel at Boston, 1695, of which
the fetter died 1706, aged 34.

EASTMAN: — Roger Eastman, an original proprie-
tor, ancestor of all, it is believed, of the name in the
land, died 1694, aged 83, and his widow Sarah, died
1698. They had John, 1640; Nathaniel, 1643; Philip,
1644; Thomas, 1646; Timothy, 1648; Joseph, 1651;
Benjamin, 1653; Sarah, 1655; Samuel, 1657; and Ruth,
1662. He probably came from Southampton, 1638, on
board the "Confidence," with many who sat down at
Salisbury. •

EASTON:— John Easton, of Hartford, had Sarah.
1670; Mary, 1672; Sarah, 1675; John, 1679; Mary, 1681;
Mehitable, 1683; Abigail, 1687; and John, 1689.

Joseph Easton, of Cambridge, freeman 1635, re-
moved early to Hartford, where he had Joseph, John
and perhaps other children, and was living 1685.

Nicholas Easton, of Ipswich, one of the earliest
settlers, a tanner, from Wales, came in the "Mary and
John," 1634, freeman 1634, was representative 1635, and
that year removed to Newbury, but, being a favorer
of Wheelwright, was disarmed 1637, and went to Rhode
Island, there in 1638, was chosen Assistant. A second
wife Christian, widow of Thomas Beecher, who had been
widow of Thomas Cooper of London, he married 1638,
and she probably was mother of several of his children,
but as she lived to 1665, we may presume that by third
wife, Ann Clayton, married 1671, he had no issue. His
children were John, 1621, and perhaps Daniel, Peter,
Joshua, Nicholas, Mary, Patience, Elizabeth and Waite.
He was President in 1672 and 3, was Governor, died
1675, aged 82. His widow Ann married Gov. Henry
Bull and died 1708.

Towne, tried and executed as a witch 1692, must be held
in honor forever, for in her petition to Sir William
Phips, the Governor, she begged not for her own life,
which she knew must be vain, but only "that no more

EATON :— Francis Eaton, of Plymouth, came in the
"Mayflower," 1620, with wife Sarah and son Samuel,
asd in 1624, had Rachel. It is thought that his wife
of the "Mayflower," died soon after landing, and a
second wife died soon, but Bradford says that he took
third wife, and had three children by her. In the div-
ision of lands 1627, this wife is called Christian, sup-
posed to be Christian Penn, who came in the "Ann,"
1623, no other in the Colony having such a name. By
her he had Benjamin, 1627; and he died probably 1633,
for his widow married 1634, Francis Billington.

Jabez Eaton, perhaps of Dorchester. See Heaton.

John Eaton, of Watertown, freeman 1636, removed
to Dedham, had by wife Abigail, born there, John, 1640;
and Jacob, 1642; besides other children, and died 1658,
leaving John, Mary and Abigail, mentioned with their
mother in his will.

John Eaton, of Salisbury, 1646, by wife Martha, had
Esther; Thomas, 1647; Martha, 1648; Elizabeth, 1650;
Ann, 1652; Sarah, 1654; Mary, 1656; Samuel, 1659;
Joseph, 1661; and Ephraim, 1663; and died 1668, per-
haps at Haverhill, leaving a daughter, wife of George
Brown, and perhaps Ruth.

John Eaton, of Salisbury, by wife Mary, had Mary,
1685; James, 1691; Samuel, 1692; perhaps Martha,
1695; and Jonathan, 1698.

John Eaton, of Reading, by wife Elizabeth, married
1639, had Thomas, 1661; and Elizabeth, 1662; perhaps

ried 1660 or 70, James Davis, of the same.

by wife Grace had Mary, 1644; John, 1645; Jonas, 1647;
Jonas again, 1648; Joseph, 1651; Joshua, 1653; Jona-
than, 1655; and David, 1657, was freeman 1653, and
died 1674. Two Johns, at Reading, one died 1691, and
the other died 1695, and we infer that one, but which
is doubtful, was his son.

Nathaniel Eaton, of Cambridge, brother of Gov.
Theophilus, was horn about 1609, freeman 1638, the
first head of Harvard College, but not dignified with
title of President; on censure by the government fled to
Virginia, and family went home, and died there. His
wife with her children, except Benoni, followed him to
Virginia, in a ship never heard of after.

Samuel Eaton, of New Haven, brother of the pre-
ceding, son of Richard, bred at Magdalen College,
Cambridge, where he had his degree 1624 and 28, came
to New England, 1637, probably had wife and no child-
ren, went home after three years, had a living at
Duckenfield, Co. Chester, near Manchester, until the
great ejection, and died at Denton, 1665 or 6, aged 68.

Theophilus Eaton, of New Haven, brother of the
two preceding, was born at Stony Stratford, in Co.
Bucks. His father was minister there, and after at
Coventry. He was deputy-governor of the East land
or Baltic company in London, and by King James em-
ployed as his agent at the Court of Denmark. He had
wife and child at London, and he married for second
wife, Ann, widow of David Yale, daughter of Thomas
Morton, Bishop of Chester, who had kindness for the
Puritans. The family seat was in that shire, and the
Governor in his will devises the estate at Great Bud-
worth, in the same County. He came in 1637 to Boston,

and after went with his fellow passenger Davenport to
found the settlement of New Haven, in 1639 was made
Governor, and so, by annual choice was continued until
his death 1658, aged 67. His will names three children
only, Theophilus, Mary and Hannah, but mentions his
wife, her son Thomas Yale, and son-in-law Edward
Hopkins, late Governor of Connecticut, then in London.
Samuel, born in London 1630, probably came with his
father 1637, was the son of Theophilus also. The widow
went home and died 1659. The son Theophilus, and
unmarried daughter Hannah went with the mother.

1659, at London, William Jones, who next year came
to New Haven.

Thomas Eaton, of Reading, had Joseph, 1652.

Martha, three children, and one servant, had Daniel,
1639; and Mary, 1643; removed to Reading; was free-
man 1653, had John; died 1673. He had daughter
Martha, and his will mentions wife Martha, eldest son
John, Daniel, daughter Mary, and two son-in-laws. The
widow died 1681. William, freeman 1691, probably his
son also.

An Abigail Eaton, aged 35, with Mary and Thomas,
children, came 1635, in the "Elizabeth and Ann," follow-
ing the husband and father, to us unknown.

EDENDEN, EDDINGTON:— Edmund Edenden, of
Scituate, 1641, representative 1642; removed to Boston,
where his daugher Mehitable was baptized 1654; but the
list of freemen 1665 calls him Roxbury. Next year
among freemen from Boston, is Edm. Eddington, which
I judge to be the same. He had daughters Mary,
Sarah, Mehitable and Rebecca.

EDGECOMB:— John Edgecomb, of New London,

1690; and Thomas^ died 1721.

Nicholas Edgecomb, of Scarborough, 1640, took
oath of submission to Massachusetts, 1658; but as I
find his subscription by a mark, he was not, probably,
as Farmer though, of the family of Sir Richard Edge-
comb, of Mount Edgecomb, in Devonshire. Yet he
may have been a dependent of that house. He re-
moved to Saco, about 1660. In Southgate, page 25, wc

spite of his outlandish name, had grant of land same
year, which was in 1662 or 3, perhaps after his death,
laid out to his widow Elizabeth. I suppose he was a
German doctor, and that Ludecus, which remained for
a family name, after rejection of Edlin, was in reality
abbreviated for Ludovicus, for the abomination of a
double one could not be endured even in the mist
skillful deciple of Hippocrates.

Potter. In his will wife and son John are made execu-

Robert Edwards, of Concord, came from London,
in the "Hopewell," Captain Babb, in 1635, aged 22, or
he may be the same who seven days earlier than his
entry for Babb's ship, is, at the London custom house,
certified to have taken the oath of allegiance, being aged
27, and to pass to Virginia. Possibly only one man so
named was in London. He had wife Christian at Con-

EELLS, ELLS, EELS or EALES:— John Eells, of
Dorchester, freeman 1634, had Samuel, 1640; removed
perhaps to Hingham first, but in 1645, to Newbury, there
called "beehive maker," died 1653, aged 78.

Richard Eells, of Boston, died 1639, probably with-
out wife or child. His will, the first in first volume of
records, names brother John in England, and refers to
three brothers and a sister as residuary legatees. But
it has been argued with much plausibility, that the tes-
tators name was Hills.

Lydia, widow of Arthur Cole, removed to Marlborough,
after having Margaret, 1681; there had several more;
but as William; Zechary ; Abraham; James, 1685; Jacob,
Mercy, Lydia, and Esther, named in the will, as well as
Zerubabel, Ruth, Sarah and Margaret, seem too many
for the second wife, for whose promise of another also
provision is made, one must suppose, that two or three
beside those recorded at Cambridge were born of first
wife at some other town. Probably this name is now
Eager.

sented to be made a constable, until the royal justice
might settle the disputed boundary.

A Mrs. Eldred is mentioned 1643, at New Haven, with
family of five, and estate of 1000 pounds sterling, but
not there in 1647, probably had gone home to London.

William Eldred, of Yarmouth, married a daughter
of William Lumpkin, had Ann, about 1648; and Sarah,
1650; beside Elisha and Bethia. Very often the name
is Eldridge.

ELIOT, or ELLIOT and ELLIOTT:— Andrew Eliot,
of Beverly, came from Somersetshire, it is said, but no
date is known, had only son Andrew, born 1651 in
England; was representative 1690-2. He was of the
juries, says tradition, which tried the witches, and had
great mental affliction on that account the residue of his
life.

Daniel Eliot, of Sudbury or Marlborough, married
Hannah, daughter of Peter Cloyes, had Daniel, 1687;
Ebenezer, 1693; John, 1695; James, 1697; Nathaniel,
1699; Jonathan, 1701; and Peter, 1704; removed to
Oxford.

Edmund Eliot, of Salisbury, 1652, by wife Sarah, had
John, 1660. He had perhaps two wives, one daughter
of Jared Hadden, of Ralph Blaisdell.

1653; and Abigail, 1659. He was made deacon 1653,
and died 1677.

Tacob Eliot, of Boston, elder brother of Rev. John,
came probably with him in the "Lion," 1631, freeman
1632 deacon 1640, which is quite observable, as he was
disarmed two and a half years before, as one of the pes-
tilent heretics that supported Wheelwright and Mrs.
Hutchinson in their "opinions and revelations ; and
died 1651, leaving widow Margery, who died 1661. His
children were Jacob, baptized 1632, John, 1634; Hannah,
!637; Abigail, 1639; Susanna, 1641; Mehitable, 1645;
Sarah, Asaph, 1651.

the Indians, born at Nazing, County Essex, 1603, was
bred at Cambridge, pensioner at Jesus College, 1619,

where he took his A. B. 1623, came to Boston, 1631, in
the Lion, freeman 1632, in November following was
settled in his office of teacher, with Thomas Welde, who
was made pastor July preceding. He married Ann
Mumford or Mountfort, who was bethrothed to him in
England, and followed him the next year. She died
1687, had Hannah, 1633; John, 1636; Joseph, 1638;
Samuel 1641; Aaron, 1644; and Benjamin, 1647. Ever
honorable will be the name of Eliot for the philanthropic
labor of forty years in spreading among our aborigines
the sentiments and in some degree the doctrines of his
religion. He died 1690.

John Eliot, of Watertown, 1633, by wife Margaret,
had Elizabeth, 1634; John, 1636; Ann, 1638; Samuel,
1640; Martha, 1641; and Sarah, 1643; sold his estate
in 1646, and removed probably to Stamford, 1650, where
wife Margaret died 1658.

John Eliot, of Amesbury, took oath of a legiance,
1677.

Joseph Eliot, of New London, 1667, removed to
Stonington, had, perhaps, Henry.

Philip Eliot, of Roxbury, brother of the apostle,
came probably early in 1635, in the "Hopewell," with
his wife Elizabeth, aged 30, children Mary, 13; Eliza-
beth, 8; Sarah, 6 ; and Philip, 2- All were from Nazing,
the seat of the family. He was freeman 1636; deacon;

jecture that another daughter was born on this side of
the ocean.

Richard Eliot, of Beverly, died 1664.

Richard Eliot, of New London, 1662, transient.

Robert Eliot, of Casco, 1670, of Scarborough, 1685,
representative, lived at Portsmouth, and was in 1716,
eldest of the council of New Hampshire. He was
father of Humphrey, I think, of Jane; probably of
Elizabeth.

Thomas Eliot, of Boston, a carpenter, by wife Han-
nah, had Mary, 1686.

William Eliot, of Ipswich, 1634, came in the "Mary
and John," that year, having taken the oaths of allegi-
ance and supremacy; was from Salisbury, in Wiltshire,
was drowned next year at Cape Ann, in the wreck of
the vessel with Rev. Mr. Avery.

BIXBY: — Daniel, settled in Andover, Mass., married

Bixby of America. Joseph Bixby, born in Bexlord,
England, about 1620, come from there to Ipswich,
Mass., in 1637, with his father and mother
Nathaniel and Mary. He married 1647, widow Sarah
Wyatt Hewed, who came from Arlington, Suffolk Co.,

was one of the incorporators of the town of Bexford
Selectman, and held other important offices. He died

The name BOWKER, page 51. My husband's family
are from people of that name, but they have little data-.
The grave-stone of his great grandfather, reads: "Mr.
Joseph Bowker, born at Scituate, Mass., March 16,
1739; died at Georgetown, (now Phipsburg, Me.,) March
4, 1802, aged 62 years- Elizabeth Conrus Bowker,
born 1739, died at Meadowbrook, November, 1831,
aged 93."

It is supposed in the family she also was from Scitu-
ate. You see these dates all tally, but do not agree
with yours, as you have Benjamin, born February 14,
1739, unless they were cousins. Now can you tell me
anything more of the Bowker preceding? Any infor-
mation would be gratefully accepted.

The Bowker arms are: "Hebrareth argent, a chevron
vert, between three round buckles. Azure, by the
name of Bowker, of Scotland, arid descends to the name
and family." This description is dated Boston, August
8th, 1728." The general surroundings and embellish-
ment suggest to me a Boston dealer's make, but it is
certainly old, as that date and treasured by them. They
think their father's ancestor was Lazarus Bowker.

GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA.

In your Genealogical Guide, etc., you give: "JOHN
BISSEL, of Windsor, Conn., born inSomerset, England,
died at Windsor, October 3, 1677****** He had
John, Thomas, Samuel, Nathaniel, 1640; Mary and Joice
* * * etc.," and Thomas Bissel, brother of above, was
born in England, married October 11, 1655, Abigail,
daughter of Duncan John Moore * * * etc."

Are you not in error in stating that Thomas, who
married Abigail Moore, was the brother of John- Sav-
age gives this Thomas as the son of John, and his mar-
riage in 1655 would indicate that he was a young man ;
while John at that date, was 63 years of age. I have
always understood that this Thomas was the son of John
the immigrant, and should not want to accept your
"brother" theory without justly strong evidence. What
is your authentic for the statement?

C. S. Gleason, Seattle, Wash.

of responsibility in the State and Church. These men
were born in Lexington and are direct descendants of
Nathaniel of 1630. This is probably how much of the
confusion of families came about after the Germans took
the name in the same state. Knowing that you wish
your references correct, I send you this statement.

On page 64, of Genealogical Guide, next to last line,
last column, "Loome's Gen." doubtless means "Loomis
Gen. Female Lines."

Among the Browns in the Genealogical Guide, I fail
to identify John Brown, (brother of Peter, of the May-
flower). He joined the church in Leyden, came to Ply-
mouth, Mass., and later to Rehoboth, where he died
1662. By wife Dorothy, had James, married Lydia
Howland; Mary, married Thomas Willett, 1636, and
John — John was the oldest son and died before his
father. John Brown received into his family the
orphaned children, Mary and Priscilla, daughters of his
brother Peter Brown, of the Mayflower. The second
John, on page 63, seems to be the one, but does not
agree with my information. Possibly, I am wrong, but
if so, shall be glad to be corrected.

On page 61, of Genealogical Guide, some text under
Brownson is well, the columns on that page, I see are
reversed. T. H. Loomis.

BOWEN: — Griffith Bowen, wife Margaret Fleming,
Chas, Margaret, Francis, William, Henry, Mary, Esther,
Abigail, Penuel, (not "Peniel"), Elizabeth, Deviah. He
left America about 1655. He was living in London as
late as 1670. Obediah Bowen was of Swanzea, not
"Swanzey." A. S. W. Brickard.

You mention "Nathaniel Bowman," who arrived at
Watertown, with Winthrop, 1630. In the list of Refer-
ences following, you give "Bowman Gen." published 1885-
Allow me please to correct this mistake — the "Bowman
Genealogy" was published by Dr. Jesse Bowman Young,
in Harrisburg, Pa., 1885.

Mr. Young descends from Christopher Bauman, who
came to America from Ems, Germany, about 1754, and
located in Pennsylvania- About this time, this family
of "Bauman's," (meaning Builder or Architect), appro-
priated our name of Bowman, which was given to our
family in the earliest ages of England, for the expert
use of the bow, the two families being entirely different
and Nathaniel and his descendants are not the family of
whom the "Bowman Genealogy" was written.

man family, please refer to the Memoir of Rev. Geo.
Bryant Bowman, Boston Pub. Library, 2343 11th St.,

I have been looking over your Brooks data and

was a Captain Robert Brooks of Concord. Capt. Thos.
Brooks was of Watertown, Mass." where he had a lot
assigned him on the main road in 1631, but removed to
Concord, before 1636. He did not buy his property
at Medford, however, until 1660. He was representa-
tive to the General Court in 1642, 1643, 1644, 1654, 1659,
1660, 1661 and 1662— eight years. He also had besides
the children you name a daughter Hannah, who married
Thomas Fox of Watertown. Captain Thomas Brooks'
fifth child was Gershom, not Gershaw, as you have it.
All of these facts differ from your statements, but I have
ample proof of the accuracy of my data.

I spent many ears in hunting up the Brooks family,
and the result in manuscript form is before me as I
write-
Now, about the other Brooks that you mention.
First, Ebenezer Brooks, of Woburn, was not a first
settler there, but was a grandson of Henry Brooks, who
was of that town in 1649, but of Concord in 1639.

You say Henry Brooks of Concord, freeman 1639,
had Joseph, 1641. There was no Joseph Brooks, son
of this Henry Brooks that I have ever been able to learn
of. I do not know whether you publish any corrections
or not in your Genealogical Guide, but as the value of
an article depends upon its accuracy, I feel justified in
sending you the above corrections.

Walter F. Brooks, Worcester, Mass.

On page 63, I learn some startling facts about my
family. The fact that John Brown, of Watertown, ar-
rived September 16, 1652, in the ship "Lion," is probably
a misprint for 1632, and the ship "Lion," but I fail to see
where you found the son James. ,Their oldest child
was John born at Hawkedon, County Suffolk, in Eng-
land, in 1631, the next Hannah, born September 8, 1634,
the next Mary, born March 24, 1636, the two latter at
Watertown, as the records which I have seen state.
John, the father "was buried ye 20th day of ye 4th
month 1636," so you see there could be no James.

John Brown, of Cambridge, called a Scotchman, who
married Esther Makepeace, who was the John born in
England, in 1631. He lived in Cambridge, Marlboro,
Falmouth and Watertown. He lived in a part of Water-
town, later Lexington, which was called Scotland, hence,
the name-

His son Joseph, the youngest child, was great grand-
father of my great-grandfather, Joseph who was born in
Lexington in 1773, and lived till 1850. The latter Joseph
has many times told the family history from the emi-
grant down to my grandmother, who is living at the
age of 93, and my father who is also alive, so I feel con-
fident of its truth. Had you been familiar with the family
you could easily have gotten this solution from either
Hudson's Lexington, or Brown's History of Bedford.

With reference to the Bowen family, those in this
country and principally traced from Richard Bowen, of
Rehoboth, Mass., (c 1640), Griffith Bowen, of Boston,
(Map 1638), See:—

(1) "Memorial of theBowen Family," by EC. Bowen,
M. D., part I. Rand, Avery & Co., Boston, 1884-

(2) "The Family of Griffith Bowen," (especially the
branch of Silas Bowen, born Woodstock, Conn., 1722),
by Daniel Bowen. Da Costa Printing Co., Jackson-
ville, Fla., 1893.

(3) "lineage of Bowens of Woodstock, Conn.," by
Edward Augustus Bowen. Riverside Press, Cambridge,
Mass., 1897.

The Rev. J. E. Bowen, of West Point, New York, is
and long has been engaged in the collection of Bowen
data, and has a large mass of it already.

Arnold's Vital Record of Rehoboth, Mass., gives many
datas, about the Richard Bowen branch.

Wm. M. P. Bowen, Providence, R. I.

I am a direct descendant according to my records
taken from Todd's Burr Genealogy and various oilier
sources it should be Jehu Burr, instead of John— (who
was son of Jehu and probably came to America with his
father) — otherwise the account corresponds with mine,
which states that Jehu Burr came in Winthrop's fleet in
1630, was in Roxbury, 1635, where his and his wife's —
Stedman's names appear as church members 1635, he
was appointed overseer of arches and bridges.

In 1636, he joined the Wm. Pyncheon Colony, which
planted Springfield where the records show he was a very
prominent man. In 1645, he removed to Fair., eld,
Conn-, where he also held many prominent and respon-
sible positions at Commissioner, Representative, etc. He
died about 1672, left four sons Jehu, John, Daniel and
Narthaniel, and possibly daughters.

I have every reason to believe my record is right, but
if it is not, I shall be glad to correct it.

Mrs. A. C. Olmsted, Batavia, N. Y.

The' statement on page 58, that Lucretia, (wife of
Jonathan Brewster), came in the "Mayflower," is a mis-
take which should be corrected when your Genealogical
Guide is published in book form. Shurtleff, Savage and
Baylies, who wrote before the discovery of Gov. Brad-
ford's manuscript history, all have the same error. The
discovery in 1855, of the Bradford history, (sometimes
called the "Mayflower Log,") with its carefully compiled
list of the passengers of the "Mayflower," makes it cer-
tain that Lucretia and her son William, (grandson of
Elder William Brewster), did not come on that vessel.
Bradford's list is the supreme authority

By an oversight, as he himself says, Mr. Dav.s in his
"Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth, part II, page 44
„" k ^e same error, but on page 24, of part I, he
Sef 4e ?a"ts corVectly. Goodwin's "Pilgrim
Republic," to which I recently called your attention, is
rfX in this, as in most of its statements-

The above and other errors have unfortunately crept
5ntn the list given in the handsome First Book of the
Q^ietv of Mayflower Descendants, issued 1896.

Tt is to be hoped that the Society will hasten to pub-
lish a new list in which these mis-statements do not

occur. G. Hunter Bartlett, Buffalo, N. Y.

I recently saw in the "Genealogical Guide to Early
Settlers," as published in your journal for October, (vol.
VI, No. 2.), page 100, the following line:

Comeggs. Old Kent, Md., 224.

The name, as printed in your journal, is mis-spelled
and should be Comegys — as it appears in "Old Kent of
Maryland," by Hanson-

Cornelius Comegys, (referred to) was born in Lex-
mont, Holland, and went to Kent County, Md., about
1661, where he had a large plantation. He was natural-
ized, with his entire family, in 1671. (Chap. XXIX, Act
of Assembly.) References: — Bacon's Laws of Mary-
land; Archives of Maryland, p. 241, (1689); Old Kent of
(Maryland, by Hanson, p. 224 ; Memoirs of Long Island
Historical Society, vol. 1, pp. 198-202. (Dankers &
Sluyter's Journal.)

I send the corrected spelling of the name, and have
mentioned the other details merely for your information
as in corroboration of the true spelling of the name.
Charles G. Comegys.

Charles G. Comegys, Cincinnati, Ohio-

If you will kindly compare the following dates, etc.,
you will see that Savage is undoubtedly mistaken in say-
ing that Mary Coultman, (John 1,) married John 2,
Nash (Edward 1,) in fact in the Notes under Nash,
Savage himself credits John Nash with a different wife.

From Gen. Guide E. Set. of America.

John Coultman, of Wethersfield, 1645, a schoolmaster,
who had been a servant with Leonard Chester . . . His
daughter Mary, married May 1, 1684, John Nash, of
Norwalk ....

From Wethersfield Records, New Eng. H. & G. Reg.,
vol. 1862, page 140.

John Coultman and Mary, his wife, were married
September 2, 1667. Issue Mary, born November 29,
1672; Elizabeth, born January 14, 1677; Anna, born
March 11, 1681.

From this you see that Mary Coultman was e 1 even
and a half years old when John (2) Nash was married.

Hist, of Norwalk, by Sellick, page 105.

Edward 1, Nash of Norwalk, married the widow Bar-
ton, whose daughter Mary Barton married John 2,
Nash, (Edward 1), i. e. John 2, Nash of Norwalk mar-
ried his step-sister Mary 2, Barton (Thomas 1)-

Some of this confusion may have arisen from con-
fusing the widow of Thomas Barton, of Fairfield, (who
married Edward Nash), with the widow of another
Thomas Barton, who married John Combs. Each of
these widows seems to have had a daughter Mary, and
both Maries appear to have been of suitable age to
marry John 2, Nash.

Mary 2, Coultman, again: —

From Wethersfield Records, New Eng., H. & G. Reg.,
vol. 1886, page 126.

"David Sage and Mary, daughter of Jno. Coultman,
was married May 3, 1693"

Hall Ancestry, p. 216, says that the David Sage who
married Mary 2, Coultman (John 1), was born February
1, 1665, and was eldest son of David and E 1 izabeth
(Kirby) Sage, of Middletown, Conn. I do not consider
Hall Ancestry good authority, but this may be so-

GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA.

B YRAM : — Nicholas Byram, according to family tra-
dition was son of an English gentleman of the County of
Kent, who removed to Ireland about the time this son
was born. His father sent him at the age of sixteen to
visit his friends in England in charge of a man, who be-
trayed his trust, robbed him of his money, and sent him
to the West Indies, whence he was sold to service to
pay his passage, and after his term expired he made his
way to New England and settled at Weymouth. He
married Susanna, daughter of * Abraham Shaw of Ded-
ham, and bad Nicholas, Abigail, who married Thomas,
Whitman, 1656; Deliverance, who married John
Porter, 1660, Experience, who married John Willias,
Susanna, who married Samuel Edson, and Mary, who
married Samuel Leach. These were all born at Wey-
mouth. In 1660, he bought three proprietary or original

purchase rights in Bridgewater and settled there

soon after. He died 1688; she died about 1698." (Hist,
of Bridgewater, by Nahum Mitchell, 1840.)

* Abraham Shaw, of Dedharn, made free 1637 — his will on
Boston Records without date, but inventory was taken in 1638,
no wife named in will. (Mitchell's History.)

In your pages of the "Genealogical Guide," I notice
that you have the names of HUGH Calkins, and also
Hugh Caulkins, as if they were two separate individual.
They are identically the same person. You have been
misled by the fact that the name is sometimes spel'ed
in both ways. O. P. Dickinson, Chicago, 111.

On page 83, under the name Chapin, you give as the
name of a son of Deacon SamUel Chapin, the name
Joseph, 1642, it should be "Japbat, 1642," as per Chapin
Genealogy and also Chapin, page 26, 27. Japhat or
Japhet is quite a common name in the Chapin family.
Mrs. Eva Chapin Maple, Maquon, 111.

Under Church, in the "Genealogical Guide to the
Early Settlers of America," I note a most unpardon-
able error.

"Richard Warren, probably came in the Lion, 1623."

"Mr. Richard Warren," as he is generally styled, was
one of the Historical Founders of Plymouth Plantation,
and signed the Mayflower Compact in 1620.

Let us hope the value of the Notes is not to be judged
by the above statement!

Mrs- Morris P. Ferris, Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.

Richard Warren, fourth son of Christopher Warren
of Greenwich, Kent, married Elizabeth Juatt, or Jewett,
and came in the "Mayflower," December 22, 1620-

"1628. This year, this Mr. Richard Warren, a useful
instrument in the difficulties attending the settlement of
Plymouth."

"Mistress Elizabeth Warren, an aged widow, aged 90
years deceased on the 2nd of October, 1673, who hav-
ing lived a Godly life, came to her grave as a shoke of
corn fully ripe. She was honorably buried on the 4th
of October aforesaid."

CHEEVER: — Ezekiel Cheever was born in London,
Jan. 25, 1614 ; came to Boston in June, 1637, and to New
Havenprobabiy the next Spring and taught school there.
—In list of planters his stands sixth. He removed in
1649, to Ipswich, Mass., and taught school; and to
Charlestown in 1661, teaching the school there. In
1670, on invitation of the Selectmen he took charge of

the school in Boston, at 60 pounds Sterling, per annum,
and remained in this capacity until within a couple of
years of his death, at the age of 94, August 21, 1708,
having taught school for seventy-two years. His first

wife Mary , died in New Haven, January 20,

1649, and he married second November 18, 1652, Ellen
Lathrop, sister of Captain Thomas Lathrop, of Beverly;
she died in Boston, September 10, 1706.

T. H. Loomis, Brooklyn, N- Y.

I do not think you gave John Clark, a nice notice at
all. He took the freeman's oath at General Court, held
November 6, 1632, one of the forty-two original propri-
etors of Newtown, now Cambridge, March 29, 1632, see
Savage's Winthrop I, 104, and/130. In Paige's Hist, of
Cambridge, p. 510, John Clark owned land on corner
Brattle and Mason Sts., which he sold to Edward
Mason, and removed to Hartford, 1635, with the Rev.
Mr. Hooker's Co., and his name is on the monument
in the First Church. There is not much doubt that his
second wife was Rebecca Marvin, daughter of Matthew
Marvin, and his wife Alice, of Hartford, who died before
him.

Mrs. G W- Percy, Oakland, Cal.

Refering to Nathaniel Clark, p. 90, "Spirit of '76,"
for September. I find a disagreement with Clark Gene-
alogy, G K. Clark, Boston, T. R. Merriam & Son, which
says : —

"Nathaniel Clark, who married Elizabeth Somerby,
died August 25, 1690. His son Nathaniel, also married
Jane Toppan, died on board of the ship "Six Friends,"
in October of the same year, aged 24.

Rufus W. Clark, Detroit, Mich.

Refering to your October Number, page 103,
Francis Cook, of Plymouth, Mass. Please allow me to
note the following for your notice.

Rev- John Cooke, of Dartmouth, Mass., and son of
Francis Cooke, came with his father in the "Mayflower,"
1620. His mother Esther, came in the "Ann," 1623,
with children Jacob, Jane and Esther. He married
March 28, 1634, Sarah Warren, daughter of Richard
and Elizabeth Warren, of London, Eng. Richard came
in the "Mayflower," 1620, and Elizabeth and the five
children came in the "Ann," 1623.

Rev. John Cooke was one of the first purchasers of
Dartmouth land at "Cooksett," 1652, (now Westport),
July 1, 1672, he settled an account with the town wiHh
a committee, of Lieut. John Smith, (of "Smith's Neck,")
Samuel Hicks and Pelig Nipp — they "find that John
Cooke shall have and forever enjoy a little island called
Ram Island in the Coaksett River, and 14 pounds
Sterling." Their children were : —

Elizabeth, born married November 21, 1661,

Daniel, the son of Edward Willcox.

Esther, born August 16, 1650.

Mercy, born July 25, 1654.

Mary, born 1657.

Sarah, born married Nov. 20, 1652, Arthur

Hathaway-

I find your notice of Francis Cooke correct of record.
I have much data and news of Dartmouth, Mass., my
town of birth, and have been a student of genealogy for
over 50 years — and would at any or all times favor you
with memorandum of old historic Dartmouth.
