crazy woman." Subsequently she visited
the Holy Land three times, spending in
all sixteen years of her life in that region,
in Egypt, and in various other foreign
countries, crossing the Atlantic ten times.
At one time she climbed Mt. Libanus,
and visited Lady Hester Stanhope, the
famous " Queen of Lebanon," whom Miss
Livermore resembled. Lady Hester
pointed out to her from among her fine
steeds two beautiful horses, saying, "One
the Great King, when he come, will ride,
and the other I will ride in company
with Him." In response, Miss Liver-
more gave a most emphatic " No! The
Great King will ride this horse, and it is
I, as his bride, who will ride upon the
other, at His second coming."
A Turk once offered her his arm as
escort, which she refused with scorn,
saying, " Christians have no dealings with
the Turks."
In May, 1832, Miss Livermore went to
the Far West, and spent a year, princi-
pally among the Indians at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas, travelling six thousand
miles, most of the distance through the
wilderness. She wished to be of service
to them, as she felt that they were of
Israel, and would yet be restored to Jeru-
salem, and intended to spend her life
among them, but as the Commissioners on
Indian Affairs objected, her project had to
be abandoned.
John G. Whittier says that in 1838,
Miss Livernmre staid at his boarding place
in Philadelphia for several days, and he
assisted her in securing an audience to a
lecture on her foreign travels, which
netted her about one hundred and fifty
dollars.
Miss Livermore was also prominent as
a writer, haviijg published nearly a score
of books, most of which were of a re-
ligious character. Among them were
volumes of sermons and hymns which
were at one time much used among the
Dunkers in Pennsylvania. Her religious
novel, entitled, "A Wreath from Jessamine
Lawn," is fascinating, and many of her
poems indicate genius.
She spent some time among the Dun-
kers, and was regarded by them as a
gifted Christian minister. Her labors
were blessed everywhere. Her first ser-
mon in Philadelphia was delivered in a
Bunkers' church, and it was the means
of the conversion of Sarah Righter, who
subsequently married Rev. Thomas Ma-
jor, and for forty years preached the
gospel.
On returning, in 1862, from her last
voyage to Jerusalem, she was for several
years supported by her relatives and
friends, to whom she became so trouble-
some that, Nov. 13, 1867, her nephew
placed her in the Blockley almshouse in
West Philadelphia, where she died four
months later, March 30, 1868, at the age
of eighty. Property had been left for her
in trust, but by unfortunate investments
the trustee had lost it.
Miss Livermore's friend, Mrs. Margaret
F. Worrell, caused her remains to be
brought to her own home in Germantown,
and, after a simple service by a few of the
friends of other days, had them interred
in her lot in the Bunkers' cemetery. The
grave is unmarked, but neighbors point
out the mound under which "The Pilgrim
Stranger " awaits the coming of her King.
Her last days were marked by the same
traits of character that had been promi-
nent in her earlier years, but she had
grown impatient with age. Her virtues,
it is said, far exceeded her faults, and in
spite of her eccentricities she accomplished
much good in the service of her Master.
She was indeed a singular and remark-
able woman, more pitiable than censur-
able. No one knows what fierce and
unsuccessful struggles she had to over-
come the violence of her peculiar disposi-
tion. A writer has said, "Half insane,
half weird, and wholly wilful, a virago and
a vixen in one person, she was, in a sense
the poet never thought of,
' Commixture strange of heaven, earth, hell,'
without the first of the three elements."
The frontispiece represents her face as
she appeared in her prime.

SALEM.
Rife, crowned with Light, imperial SALEM, rife."
POPE.
WHERE balmy Odours o'er the Meadows
ftray'd,
And bending Willows form'd a quivering Shade;
Where the great Monarch of the woody Train,
Rear'd high his Head, and overlooked the Plain;
And where the Elm, in branching Pride difplay'd
The facred Shelter of its rural Shade;
Imperial Salem ftretches o'er the Land:
Her Sons, arife at Liberty's Command,
Superior fhine, in peaceful Robes array'd,
And fcorn the glittering Pomp of fervile Pride,
By little Arts, malevolent to gain;
But bravely loyal, all their Rights maintain.
For me, I'll ne'er forget th' impartial Themes,
The friendly Lays, which honeft Merit claims :
I'll haunt thy Fields, I'll fing thy flowery Plains,
And court the Friendf hip of thy generous Swains.
Thou blefs'd of Heav'n, fecure amidft the Jars,
Of civil Factions, and religious Wars ;
Omay no jealous Power thy Peace deitroy,
Or f hake the Bafis of thy fpreading Joy ;
No envious Neighbour ftain thy virtuous Name,
Or blaft the Glory of thy rifing Fame.
So when immortal Rome, by Trojans rear'd,
In towering Pomp, and Elegance appear'd;
Proud Carthage faw, grew jealous at the Sight,
Pour'd forth her Sons, and rous'd them to the
Fight;
Each Breaft was fir'd, each Hero fought his Arms,
And all was Fury, Terror, and Alarms.
But when the Genius of that facred Throne,
Where Liberty divine triumphant fhone,
With her own Brutus, at Philippi faw,
Exulting Vice fubvert great Virtue's Law,
She fled, indignant, to Britannia's Plains,
There fix'd the Center of her wide Domains.
From thence Ihe wing'd her Flight o'er Neptune's
Sway,
And as the radiant f kim'd the watery Way,
In Murmurs whifper'd to the fighing Gale,
" Oh bear me far to Effex's fruitful Vale,
" There let my Sons the Pomp of Vice defpife,
"There, crown'd with Light, imperial SALEM
rife."

ANCIENT BURYING GROUND.
THIS old burying ground was used in
the first settlement of the town, and
remained the only cemetery until 1723,
when the East parish (now the town of
Groveland) burial ground was opened.
The oldest stone now standing and de-
cipherable bears date of 1681, being that
of Mrs. Susannah Simes. The following
are all the inscriptions that were there a
few years ago bearing dates prior to 1 800.

SOME ESSEX COUNTY INDIANS.
ANDREW, known also by the name of
Pooky John, lived in the vicinity of Ames-
bury upon the Merrimac in 1677. He
belonged to a small party of about twenty,
who made daily inroads upon the inhabi-
tants of that quarter, f
BLACK-WILLIAM, called also Manatah-
qua, was sachem of Saugus, now Lynn,
and vicinity about 1630. His family
lived in Swampscott, and was also a sag-
amore, but probably was dead before the
English came.* William Wood, the
traveller, in 1633, in his New England
Prospect, thus notices William as possess-
ing Nahant : " One Black-william, an
Indian Duke, out of his generosity gave
this place in general to the plantation of
Saugus, so that no other can appropriate
it to himself." He was a great friend to
the whites, but his friendshp was repaid,
as was that of many others of that and
even later times. There was a man by
the name of Walter Bagnall, " a wicked
fellow," who had much wronged the In-
dians^ and was killed near the mouth of
the Saco river, probably by some of those
whom he had defrauded. This was in
October, 1631. As some vessels were
upon the eastern coast in search of
pirates, in January, 1633, they put in at
Richman's island, where they fell in with
Black- William. This was the place where
Bagnall had been killed about two years
before, but whether he had anything to do
with it does not appear, and even his mur-
derers did not pretend that he was in any-
way implicated, but out of revenge for
BagnalPs death, they hanged Black- Wil-
liam^ On the contrary it was particu-
larly mentioned || that Bagnall was killed

dians belonging to that part of the coun-
try. It is believed that this chief mar-
ried a daughter of Passaconaway.*
JAMES, sagamore of Saugus, now Lynn,
whose native name was Montowampate,f
was brother of John, sagamore of Win-
isimet. He died in 1633, of the small-
pox, " with most of his people. It is
said that these two promised if ever they
recovered to live with the English, and
serve their God." The histories of
those times give a melancholy picture
of the distresses caused by the smallpox
among the " wretched natives." " There
are," says Mather, " some old planters
surviving to this day, who helped to bury
the dead Indians ; even whole families of
them were all dead at once. In one of
the wigwams they found a poor infant
sucking at the breast of the dead mother." ||
The same author observes that before the
disease began, the Indians had begun to
quarrel with the English about the bounds
of their lands, " but God ended the con-
troversy by sending the smallpox among
the Indians at Saugus, who were before
that time exceedingly numerous."!
MASCONOMO, sachem of Agawam, since
called Cape Ann. When the fleet which
brought over the colony that settled Bos-
ton, in 1630, anchored near there he wel-
comed them to his shores, and spent
some time on board one of the ships.lf

SHOEMAKING.

THE OLD SHOEMAKER'S SHOP.
THE SHOEMAKERS.
Rap, rap ! upon the well-worn stone,
How falls the polished hammer !
Rap, rap ! the measured sound has grown
A quick and merry clamor.
Now shape the sole ! now deftly curl
The glossy vamp around it,
And bless the while the bright-eyed girl
Whose gentle fingers bound it !
Rap, rap ! your stout and bluff brogan,
With footsteps slow and weary,
May wander where the sky's blue span
Shuts down upon the prairie.
On Beauty's foot your slippers glance,
By Saratoga's fountains,
Or twinkle down the summer dance
Beneath the Crystal Mountains?
John G. Whittier.
SHOEMAKING.
Shoemakers began to ply their trade
in this county in its first settlement.
They were generally called cordwainers
or cordwinders, though those terms are
not sufficiently descriptive of their occu-
pation, as a cordwainer was one who
sewed leather, but included the making
of breeches and other articles of clothing
made of leather.
The journeymen shoemakers, and most
of them were journeymen in the early
days, travelled from house to house, and
from village to village, and stopped in a
family long enough to make up a year's
supply of footwear. His habits were
similar to those of the weaver and tailor,
and he worked in the house and boarded
with the family while he remained.
From the hide of the cow or ox that
the farmer had killed for a supply of beef,
which had been turned into leather
by the tanner, the shoemaker shod the
family, fitting the boots and shoes to each
foot. Sizes, we dare say, were unknown
in those earlier days.
About the middle of the eighteenth
century many of the farmers, from sides
of leather tanned from the hides of their
own animals, and from leather they had
purchased, spent their dull winters in

making shoes, the wives and daughters
doing the binding and closing, and the
sons helping with the sewing and in peg-
ging after pegs began to be used. Some
worked by the fireplace in the living
room of the house, but generally a small
building was built near the house in which
the men worked. These little shops were
scattered all through Essex county, and
some are still to be seen in the country.
The outside view of one of these shops,
and they were nearly all of the same size
Later, some of the men in towns be-
came manufacturers. That is, they had
a shop in which they stored their hides
and stock and the manufactured goods.
There they cut the stock, soles, vamps,
quarters, counters, tongues, lifts, welts
and rands : but the boots and shoes were
made in other places. The makers came
and took away the stock, returning the
finished goods, being paid for their labor
by the pair. It is said that the first
shop of this kind was in Danvers,

and style, is shown on the preceding page.
They measured about ten by twelve feet.
The inside view is given in the accompa-
nying engraving. The neighbors fre-
quently dropped in, and discussions in
politics and all current topics often be-
came animated. Gossip found here its
readiest promoters.
When the winter's work was done, or
the leather was all made up, the farmer
carried his shoes to some trade centre
and sold or bartered them.
being that of Zerubbabel Porter. His
business was established in 1786, and he
made heavy brogans for the wear of
Southern slaves. The frontispiece is a
view of this shop.*
About 1812, pegs, and a score of years
later the pegging machine, were invented,
and then the workmen were consolidated.
Gangs did the work. Instead of one
man making the whole of each shoe, each

man did a part only, one lasting, another
pegging, and so on. The small shops
were gradually abandoned, and the work
was done, from the cutting of the stock
to the packing for the market, in one
place. Eventually the business congre-
gated, forming such shoe centres as Ha-
verhill and Lynn.
Lynn has been noted for its shoes since
its early days, no other town in the county
showing so many men of this trade, ac-
cording to the county records. The ear-
liest shoemakers there were Philip Kert-
land and Edmund Bridges, who came as

THE TOWN PUMP.
THE OLD TOWN PUMP.
Take not away the old town pump,
But bid it adorn the place where it stands !
A graceful structure instead of a stump
Of an upright post with its awkward hands.
Take not away the old town pump.
We should miss the picture it gives the street,
The oxen, the horses, the loads of hay,
t The "give me to drink," the friends that greet,
The weary trav'lers, the children at play.
Take not away the old town pump.
Lydia L. A. Very.
THE TOWN PUMP.
The old public pumps of Salem were
located on the principal thoroughfares,
and, like sentinels, stood at their respec-
tive posts of duty through summer and
winter, in sunshine and storm, ever ex-
tending their long arms ready to receive
the hand of each and every person pass-
ing that way who might wish for refresh-
ment from their cool fountains. The
march of improvement many years ago
removed them, and only the citizens on
the downward incline of life remember
how they looked.
The town undoubtedly furnished drink-
ing places for horses and cattle very early
in its history ; but probably provided no
means for travellers and citizens to slake
their thirst at a public pump until after
the Revolution. " The town pump " is
first mentioned, as far as the investigations
of the writer have revealed, in 1788, and
was situated in the middle of the upper
end of what is now Summer street,
in front of the " Witchhouse." In that
year, the land on the western corner of
Summer and Essex streets was described
as lying near " the town pump."
This pump was located where it would
be passed by nearly every team entering
and leaving the town, the only exceptions
being the teams that might pass from
North through Lynde street (that part of
Federal street formerly known as Marl-
borough street, and that part of Bridge
street back of the court houses not being
in existence), and those coming from
Marblehead and passing down Mill and
Norman streets, instead of Summer street.
Beverly bridge was not then constructed,
and Beverly teams came by way of Dan-
versport through North street. The travel
from the west came down Essex street ;
and Summer street was the great road to
Marblehead.
From the time of the Revolution for
more than half a century the travel past
this pump of heavy teams from New
Hampshire and Vermont towns was enor-
mous. They carried the foreign commod-
ities from the warehouses here to the
stores of those states, where they were
sold to the consumers. Teams rarely
passed, coming or going, without testing
the quality of the water provided for
them.
In 1806, was established a wood mar-
ket on the south side of Essex street,
westerly from Summer, a hay market on
the westerly side of Summer street, and
stands for dealers in country produce on
the south side of Essex street next eas-
terly of this pump. Thus it was, in 1806
and later, in the middle of the market of
wood, hay and country produce.
The above cut is a copy of a drawing
of this old pump made by E. A. Cabot in
1 84 1 . A few years later it was removed
and a modern round, upright pump put
in its place.
ANTRUM NOTE.
Thomas Antrum 1 (also spelled in Es-
sex county records Antram, Antrim, An-
throp and Antrop} came from Southamp-
ton, England in the ship James, arriving
in Boston June 3, 1635, and being called
in the ship's clearance, a weaver, of Salis-
bury, Wiltshire. He settled in Salem, be-
ing granted land there in 1636, and
THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN.
he purchased of his " brother " Edmund
Batter of Salem a farm in Brooksby in
1653. He probably married Jane, a sis-
ter of Edmund Batter, in or before 1637,
as Thomas and Jane Antrum were mem-
bers of the Salem church in 1637. He
was made a freeman May 18, 1642 ; and
died in 1663, his will being dated 24 : n :
1662, and proved 3 : 5 mo. 1663. Chil-
dren : i. Hannah 2 , married Isaac Bur-

ker of Ipswich ; lived in Salem ; mariner ;
and was lost at sea on a voyage to Nevis
or some other West India island in 1664.
He called Edmund Batter " uncle." His
widow returned to Ipswich ; and married,
secondly, Thomas Andrews of Rowley
Village (Boxford) June 22, 1670. 3.

TOPSFIELD IN 1800.
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.
ON page 99 is given a map of the
village of Topsfield as it was in 1800.
It is based on actual surveys and title
deeds, and is drawn on a scale of forty-
five rods or seven hundred and fifty feet
to an inch. It shows the location of all
houses that were standing within the
territory included in the map in 1800.
The main street was a highway prob-
ably before 1668, as, March 16, 1668-9,
Haverhill street (from " Todd's corner ")
was laid out " from Topffield meeting
houfe, along vnder the North East Syde
of the Hill called bare Hill, albng as the
trees are marked, over the brooke by
Ephraim Dormans Houfe, and so along
the plaine, called the Pine plaine, trees
being marked, the end of Baker's Pond,
and over the brooke at the pond
end, by William Pritchetts houfe as
the trees are marked, vnto the high
way y* comes betweene Andover and
Ipfwich and so along that High way."*
In 1669, a l so > was kud out the Boxford
road from Endecott's farm on the north
side of Ipswich river in Boxford, past
Kinsman's corner, on the north side of
the common, over the older road to the
meeting house in the burying ground.|
Until 1663, the meeting house stood near
the " dry bridge," and the old road in
the rear of the Methodist church was the
way to it from this neighborhood and
Boxford.
In the sketches that follow, titles and
deeds referred to pertain to the houses
*Essex Registry of Deeds, book 6, leaf 305.

1679, leaf 24.
and land under and adjoining them, and
not always to the whole lot, the design
being to give the history of the houses
standing in 1800 principally.
The Burying Ground. This burying
ground is quite old, though the oldest
stone remaining there, which bears an in-
telligible date, is marked "1717." In
1663, the meeting house was removed
from the spot it had occupied for a num-
ber of years, near the " dry bridge," into
the southeastern corner of this burial
place, which was then very small. It may
be that the opening of the cemetery dates
from the time the meeting house was re-
moved thither, the English custom of
intering the dead around the church being
followed.
In 1672, the Villagers (the Boxford
settlers) built a sabbath-day house and a
stable ; and the next year, as a precaution
against the Indians, a stone wall, five or
six feet high and three feet broad at the
bottom, was built around the meeting
house. On the south side the wall was
twelve feet, and on the other three sides
ten feet from the building. Within this
wall, at the southeast corner, a watch-
house, ten feet square, was built, and this
was called, in the beginning of the eigh-
teenth century, the " Old meeting house
fort."
This old meeting house stood here until
1703, when a new one was built on the
site of the present Congregational church
on the common, and the old one was sold
for five pounds to John Gould, who
moved it down to the turnpike, using it
for a barn.

June i, 1778, when he bought a half in-
terest in the same of Oliver Perkins of
Topsfield, yeoman, for one hundred
pounds.* Mr. Hood erected the house
now known as the Conant house, and
shown in the accompanying engraving,
immediately following his purchase. He
occupied the house and land until March
31, 1784, when he sold the estate to Dr.
John Merriam of Topsfield.t
Dr. Merriam conveyed the house and
little lot on which it stood to Daniel Per-
kins of Salem, mariner, Oct. 9, 1797,!
and removed to his new house across the
street. Mr. Perkins died in 1800, re-
turning from Batavia, on the Franklin y
of which he was second-mate. He was a
native of Topsfield ; and had for many
years dispensed liquors at the Sun Tavern
in Salem. He was probably unmarried,
as he devised this house and lot to his sis-
ters Hannah and Peggy Perkins of Tops-
field. They conveyed the house and lot
to Aaron Conant of Topsfield, trader,
June 1 8, i8o6; and the estate still be-
longs to his family, a son being the present
owner.
Simon Bradstreet Lot. This lot be-
longed to Simon Bradstreet of Topsfield,
laborer, in 1778. There was a small
house upon it that he had bought of
Stephen Waters before 1784. May 7,
1787, Mr. Bradstreet conveyed the house
to Thomas Emerson of Topsfield, gentle-
man. || Mr. Emerson probably removed
the house to his land across the street,
the present Andrews house being the
house perhaps. The house probably con-
tinued in the possession of Mr. Emerson
until his death in 1813. His estate was
sued by Sarah Ann Emerson of Danvers,
singlewoman, and this small house and
the land around it was assigned to her in
satisfaction of her execution Aug. 31,

Boston, merchant. || In 1843, Messrs.
Cleaveland and Wildes released the prem-

known as the Falls house June 20, 1850,
when Mr. Brownell conveyed it with a
small lot of land to Elisha P. Andrews of
Topsfield,** in whose family the title has
since been.
Thomas Emerson House. The pro-
prietors of the common lands in Topsfield,
for fourteen pounds, conveyed the south-
ern end of this lot ( two acres and twenty
rods) to Rev. John Emerson of Topsfield

house, three stories in height, retaining
the old house as a wing two stories high.

able Emerson, widow of Thomas Emerson,
to whom it had been assigned, conveyed

Capen House. This house was built
on land granted by the town to Rev. Jos-
eph Capen, and laid out to him Feb. 28,
1682-3. The lotcontained twelveacres;
and the house was probably built soon
afterward. Here Mr. Capen subsequent-
ly lived. He died July 30, 1725, and the
house and land descended to his children,
becoming the property of his son Nathan-
iel, who conveyed the " old house " and
land around it to John Baker of Boxford,
yeoman, March 17, 1746.* Mr. Baker
conveyed the estate to Edmund Putnam
of Danvers Feb. 24, 1753.! Mr. Put-
nam came here and lived until he con-
veyed the house and lot to Rev. John
Emerson of Topsfield May 10, 17584
Mr. Emerson died in 1 774 ; and in his will
devised his real estate to his son Thomas
Emerson,who died in 1813, having devised
this estate to his son Joseph Emerson. He
says in his will, which was made nearly
two years before he died, " I am prepar-
ing to build a house and barn on this lot
for my said son Joseph." Joseph Emer-
son died June 17, 1826, and the estate
descended to his daughter, Harriet J.,
who became the wife of the late Charles
H. Holmes, esq., in whose family and es-
tate the title has since remained. A view
of the ancient house is given in the frontis-
piece.
Averill House. This house stood some
distance north of the residence of the late
Charles H. Holmes. The site was a part
of the homestead of Rev. Joseph Capen,
and was conveyed by his son Nathaniel
Capen of Topsfield, joiner, to Nathaniel
Moulton of Ipswich, cordwainer, Sept. 27,
1 73 7. He probably built the house that
afterwards stood there the next year ; and,
Oct. 31, 1741, when he was of An-
dover, he conveyed the land and build-
ings to Francis Simons of Topsfield,

which was kept the Middle school in
1800, stood where the town hall stands.
It was built in 1790 or 1791, and was
used as a school house until 1867, when
the academy building came into the use
of the public schools.

ing house to occupy this site was erected
in 1703. This was a small hill, which
was then cut down to make it convenient
for the location of the meeting house,
which was forty-four feet long and forty-
two wide. The pulpit and some of the
timbers of the old meeting house were
used in the construction of the new. In
1760, it was superseded by another on
the same site. This also passed away in

blacksmith's shop of the Kimballs and
Wildes stood on the opposite side of the
road from the house. The house is shown

Samuel Hood House. This was the
site of the tavern of Daniel and Dan
Clark, and probably the same house that
had stood here more than a century. It

living in Salisbury in 1640, and removed
to Newbury in the spring of 1651. In
Newbury he was a yeoman ; and he died
there Nov. 2, 1651, being called "Old
John Bailey." In his will he mentions

of their daughters Ruths and Sarahs,
1720-1722; but there are manifest errors
in the dates. Our notes give no mention

EDITORIAL.
The July, August and September
numbers of The Antiquarian are issued
together under one cover. In this way
articles are less divided, more space is
obtained, and therefore more matter is

SALEM, MASS., OCTOBER-DECEMBER, 1901.
Nos. 10-12.
PART OF SALEM IN 1700. NO. 7.
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.
THE frontispiece is a map of that sec-
tion of Salem which is bounded by Essex,
Boston and Proctor streets and Norman's
Rocks. It is based on actual surveys and
title deeds, and is drawn on a scale of
two hundred feet to an inch. It shows
the location of all the houses that were
standing in 1700. The braces marked
" a " show where May street now runs.
Essex street was originally the lane to
the brick kiln of Thomas Trusler, and
was laid out in the earliest settlement of
the town. This was also the way to the
common pasture. It was first called a
highway in 1730; highway to the great
common pasture in 1736; way leading
from Buffum's corner to the northerly
great pasture gate, 1794 ; turnpike, 1824 ;
and Essex street soon afterward.
Boston street was probably laid out at
the time Town bridge was built in 1640.
This was known as the west end of the
town. The bridge was built by John
Pickering in 1640, and five years later it
had to be reconstructed. It was then
raised, and a causeway, extending nearly
two hundred feet, built. This street was
called a street or lane, 1676; ye bridge
street so called towards Trask's mills,
1680; the street going towards the mill
bridge, 1681 ; highway, 1692 ; ye coun-
try road, 1737 ; way leading to the town
bridge, 1765; the main street, 1773;
Town bridge street, 1789; great road,
1789; street leading from Buffum's cor-
ner to Town bridge, 1789; and Boston
street, 1799. The bridge or causeway was
so long that land ad joining was described
as bounded by the Town bridge in 1698,
1789, and other dates, nearly to Federal
street.
May street was laid out by Benjamin
Goodhue between 1794 and 1805. It
was first called the new road, 1805 ; new
street, 1810; and May street, 1814.
Proctor street is a part of the earliest
road in Salem. It was called a way lead-
ing to the gallows' hill pasture in 1870;
and for the last twenty years has been
called Proctor street.
In the sketches that follow, after 1700,
titles and deeds referred to pertain to the
houses and land under and adjoining, but
not always to the whole lot, the design
being, after 1700, to give the history of
the houses then standing principally.
William Bean House. This was a part
of the lot of Robert Buffum, and was prob-
ably granted to him by the town. This cor-
ner piece was separated from the rest of
the lot by the laying out of Boston street
in 1640, or soon afterward. The land
descended to his daughter Sarah, wife of
William Bean, upon the death of Mr.
Buffum in 1669. On this lot was a house,
perhaps built by Mr. Bean, or removed
thither before 1661. He died in 1715
possessed of the house, but of no land.
The house is described in the inventory
of Mr. Bean's estate as a small old house
out of repair, and was valued at ten
pounds. In 1730, it was still standing
and possessed by the children, and a deed
of adjoining land reserved a right of way
from the street to the old house so long
as it remained habitable and was inhabit-
ed. It was gone soon afterward. This
was known as Bean's comer.
Edward Flint and Thomas Flint Lots
(" Brickkiln Field 11 ). These two lots con-
stituted the brickkiln field, which was
probably granted to Thomas Trusler in

the first settlement of the town. Here
he made bricks ; and died possessed of
the lot in 1653. His inventory, dated
5: i mo: 1653-4, mentions three acres
of marsh and upland where the brickkiln
is. His heirs and executors, Henry,
Nicholas, and Edward Phelps, conveyed
it to William Flint of Salem, yeoman, 4 :
9 mo: 1656.* Mr. Flint died in 1673,
having devised the lot to his two sons
Edward and Thomas. They made a divi-
sion, Dec. 3, 1694,1 as shown on the
map. Edward Flint died possessed of
his part in 1711, and Thomas in 1719.
Joshua Buff urn and Caleb Buffum Lots.
These lots were a part of a lot originally
belonging, and probably granted, to John
Alderman of Salem. Mr. Alderman died
in 1657, having devised this land and
also the lot of Nicholas Chattwell, to
Ezra Clapp and Nathaniel Clapp. They
conveyed it to Giles Coree of Salem, hus-
bandman, July 24, 16634 Mr. Coree
conveyed it to Edward Flint, who owned
adjoining land, before 1676, but the deed
was given Feb. 8, i68i-2. The exact
lines of this lot of " one acre," as it was
called, against the land of the Flints can-
not be determined, as it became one lot
upon the division between the Flints in
1694. Edward Flint conveyed these lots
of Joshua and Caleb Buffum to the widow
Gertrude Pope of Salem March 24, 1676-
7.|| She conveyed them to her sons-in-
law Joshua Buffum and Caleb Buffum,
both yeomen, and living directly across
the street, Joshua to have the north-
westerly half and Caleb the southeasterly,
June 6, 1684^. They owned the lots
until after 1700.
Nicholas Chattwell House. This was
a part of the lot conveyed by Giles Coree
to Edward Flint before 1676, as above.
That part of this lot lying southeasterly

over
and northeasterly of the dashes was sold
by Mr. Flint to John Maccarter of Salem,
dyer, before 1677, but the deed was given
May 28, 1682.* Mr. Maccarter built the
house now standing upon the lot, and
numbered 19, before October, 1685. The
ancient house is in good condition, and
among its evidences of age are the posts
that support the summer beam of the
fore-room. From floor to beam the dis-
tance was six feet and one inch. About
three inches, one-half its thickness, has
been hewn from the beam in later times.
This post, with its
ornamented shoul-
d e r, is shown
herewith. Within
sight of his windows
and only two hun-
dred yards away suc-
cessively occurred
the hanging of the
alleged witches in
June, July, August
and September,
1692 ; and a large
number were in the
jails awaiting execu-
tion. What, if any,
was the effect of
these executions up-
on the minds of Mr. Maccarter and his
family is not known ; but Nov. 12, of the
same year, he conveyed the house and
lot, apparently for a price far below their
worth, to Nicholas Chattwell of Salem,
mariner.! Mr. Flint conveyed to Mr.
Chattwell the remainder of the lot April
26, 16954 Mr. Chattwell died Oct. 30,
1700, and, after the death of his wife in
1718, the estate descended to his only
surviving child, Priscilla, wife of John
Meacham of Enfield, yeoman, who con-
veyed the house and lot to Thorndike
Proctor of Salem, husbandman, June n,
1724^ On the death of Mr. Proctor,

the estate descended to his son Ebenezer,
and upon the latter's decease, to his only
child, Sarah, wife of Samuel Merritt. Up-
on Mrs. Merritt's death, her heirs released
the house and lot to her son-in-law, Na-
thaniel Woodbury, March 4, 1799.* Up-
on his decease, the estate descended to
his children, who conveyed it to Nathan-

Tiattie and his family ever since. The

the town subsequently sold it to him, by
vote of the selectmen, March 6, 1693-4.
Mr. Pinson died in July, 1695, pos-
sessed of the entire lot "at the bridge
pond with the frame of a house standing
on it." He devised one-third of the es-
tate to his wife Rebecca, and two-thirds
to his only heir, his young daughter
Rebecca. The widow married, secondly,

was the lot of Lawrence Southwick in
1656 ; and he sold it to Thomas Robbins
before 1681. Both parties died ; and, no
deed " appearing of record," Mr. South-
wick's executors gave a deed of it, in-
cluding the " pond or salt marsh," to
William Pinson, whose wife Rebecca was
Mr. Robbins' niece and heir, in 1694.

land, through which the highway had run
from the first settlement of the town.
The plan shows the places where the evi-
dence indicates that the alleged witches
were executed and buried.
John Adams, who often visited Salem,
stopping with his " brother Cranch," who
lived on what is now Mill street, wrote in
his diary under date of Thursday, Aug.
14, 1766: "Dined at C ranch's; after
dinner walked to Witchcraft hill, a hill
about half a mile from Cranch's, where
the famous persons formerly executed for
witches were buried. Somebody within
a few years has planted a number of
The drawing of the hill presented here-
with, is as it now appears, without the
buildings, as none were there in 1692,
and with the pond and ancient road as
at that time. The point of view is from
the northeast, at No. 5 1 Boston street.
The fence at the road may have been
there in 1692. The fences running over
the hill were not there at that time, but
are now. The lot between the road and
the fence running parallel to it belonged
to Moses Stewart, and was sold to Thorn-
dike Proctor. Mr. Proctor died in 1773,
and, in 1775, this lot was assigned to his
widow as a part of her dower. It is de-

scribed as the lot " on which the locust
trees now stand." In the deed to Stew-
art, in 1737, no trees are mentioned, and
without question these are the ones of
which Mr. Adams wrote. The fact that
the lot is thus described shows that the
locust trees were a distinguishing mark.
Elderly men now living remember the
great locust trees on this lot in their early
boyhood. The trees stood near the fence
on the southeasterly end of the lot near
the shrubbery shown at the left in the
drawing.
A man who now lives on the lot states
that he dug up two great stumps there

LOST AT SEA.
BY JAMES J. H. GREGORY.
When mid our graveyard mounds I tread,
Reading what loving hearts have said,
In words that breathe above the dead,
It thrills and chills me like a moan
Heard from the old sepulchral stone,
That one short sentence, told to me
By mourning marble, " Lost at Sea."
Surely never from lips of men,
Nor when the truth- recording pen
Proclaimed the worst that men condemn,
Fell sadder words than these to me,
That wail of sorrow " Lost at Sea! "
An echo from an unknown shore,
From whence our loved return no more.
In the lone vastness of the deep,
Far down beneath the waves, they sleep,
The loved ones we so mourn and weep.
They bravely fought the cruel gale,
Till strength and skill could not avail,
And pitying ocean took them home
To depths of calm, where no storms come.
There's scarce a Bible in our town,
But scan its generations down,
And on its pages, old and brown,
At least one record you shall see
Of some much-mourned one lost at sea;
It tells the day he sailed away,
And that was all there was to say.
Let him who walks our narrow streets,
Whose little homes the stranger greets,
As at each turn he often meets
Their queer array; think of mothers,
Sweethearts, fathers, sisters, brothers,
Who months and years did watch in vain
To greet the loved that never came.
Pale-faced they scanned the mighty deep,
Their weeping eyes refused to sleep ;
'Twixt hope and fear their pulses beat,
And kindly neighbors climbed the stair,
Praying the long-lost one was there;
Till hope wrote, with despairing moan,
That death line on the cold gravestone,
" Lost at Sea."

THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN.
BAKER GENEALOGY.
The principal family of Bakers in Essex
county is that which originated in this
country with
JOHN BAKER 1 of Ipswich. He was born
in 1598, and April 9, 1616, was appren-
ticed to a grocer in Norwich, England,
for twelve years, to learn that business.
In 1628 he was a citizen of Norwich, and
engaged as a grocer. He married Eliza-
beth , who was born about 1606,
and in 1637 came to New England, in-
tending to settle in Charlestown, but
came to Ipswich instead. In 1638 he
possessed a house lot on High street, in
Ipswich, and was made a freeman June
2, 1641. He was a man of prominence
and property, and was licensed to sell
wine in 1644 and 1647, aQ d beer in
1652, being an innholder in 1664,
1665 and 1666. He bought an extensive
tract of land in Topsfield, and removed
thither between 1670 and 1678, being of
Topsfield in 1680. He died in 168 .
His wife Elizabeth was living in 1666.
Mr. Baker conveyed his hundred-and-
fifty acre farm and buildings in Topsfield,
bounded on Baker's (now called Hood's)
pond, to his son Thomas in 1661.
Richard Baker wrote from Norwich,
England, March 2, 1676, ordering his
cousin Mr. John Baker to pay some money
to John's brother, Benjamin Baker. No
Benjamin Baker appears here in those ear-
ly days, and this Benjamin was probably a
brother who was here on a visit.

BALCH GENEALOGY.
WITH rare exceptions the name of
Balch has been so spelled since the emi-
grant ancestor came to America. The
exceptions, Baltch and Baulch, are so
rare that they are hardly worthy of no-
tice.
JOHN BALCH J , the ancestor of the fam-
ily in New England, was born in 1579,
and lived in Bridgewater, Somersetshire,
England. He was one of the company
that came to America, with Capt. Robert
Gorges, in September, 1623, and estab-
lished the fishing station at Cape Ann.
In 1626, with the company, he removed
to Naumkeag, which upon the arrival of
Endecott was named Salem. In 1639 ne
built a house and made his permanent
home on Bass River Side, in what is now
Beverly, where he had been granted two
hundred acres of land two years previ-
ously. His house, as it was originally, is
shown in the frontispiece.* He was made
a freeman in 1630; and held many offices
in the town government. He married,
first, Margaret , who died in 163-.
He married, second, Agnes (or, Annis)
; and died June -, 1648. His
wife Annis survived him, and died in
1657, after a long illness.

homestead in Beverly, where he held va-

April 5, 1686. He married, second, Abi-
gail, widow of Matthew Clarke, of Mar-
blehead Feb. 5, 1689 ; and she died Jan.

" being constrained to leaue the canowe

PART OF IPSWICH IN J700.
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.-
The section of Ipswich included in the
map presented on page 1 7, is bounded by
South Main and Market streets, Topsfield
road, and Ipswich river. The map is
based on actual surveys and title deeds,
and is drawn on a scale of two hundred
feet to an inch. It shows the location of
all the houses and the mill that were
standing in 1700.
The river was called Mill river in 1674,
Ipswich river as early as 1725, Town
river, 1729, and Ipswich mill river, 1764.
Market street was probably a path be-
fore Jan. 13, 1639, when the town agreed
" that Mr Apleton shall make a sufficient
cart bridge over the swamp towards the
Mill to maintayne and repair the same,
at his own charge for the space of seven
years next following, in consideration
whereof the town hath granted him about
one acre and a half of ground, more or
less, adjoyneing to his six acre lott to be-
gin where his six acres begins and to run
to the brook where that ends."* This
was called the^country road in 1729 ; and
Market street as early as 1833.
Topsfield road came into existence in
consequence of the vote of the town,
March 2, 1637, that " All those that have
planting ground by the River side beyond
Mr. Apple ton's are to take the lott layers
and lay out a highway as may be most
convenient as themselves can best agree
and return it to the eleven men."* This
*Town Records.
PART OF IPSWICH IN
was called the Country road in 1737;
Road to Topsfield, 1753; and Topsfield
road, 1836.
Union street was probably in existence
very early, being laid out as a way to the
mill, and called the Road to mill in
1759; road leading to the town mills,
1760; road to the cotton factory, 1833;
and Union street as early as 1846.
Saltonstall street was also in existence
very early, and was probably the original
way to the mill. It was called a highway
in 1672 ; highway leading to ye mill, 1713;
highway leading to the grist-mills, 1729;
lane to Farley's mill, 1779; road to the
cotton factory before 1833, when it was
first called Winter street, the name being
recently changed to Saltonstall street.
In the sketches that follow, after 1700,
titles and deeds referred to pertain to the
houses and land under and adjoining but
not always to the whole lot, the design
being after that date to give the history
of the houses then standing.
The Mill. The lot on which the mill
was situated, the eastern portion,
including the swampy section, being
called " The mill garden," was granted to
Richard Saltonstall, in 1635 for the site
of a grist mill.* A dam was constructed
and the mill established. After the death
of Richard Saltonstall the mill came into
the hands of his son Col. Nathaniel Sal-
tonstall of Haverhill, and the millers were
for many years Michael and Mesheck
Farley. Colonel Saltonstall died in 1707,
and in his will he devised the estate to
his children, Elizabeth, Richard and Na-
thaniel. Other mills, as a grist mill, saw
mill and fulling mill, were built before
1729, when the property came into the
possession of John Waite, jr. The next
owners were Michael Farley and Nathan-
iel Brown. The Farleys subsequently
owned and operated the mills for a century.
Then followed the Ipswich Manufactur-
ing company, Dane Manufacturing com-
pany, Ipswich Hosiery company, etc.,

209.
successively. The original mill was prob-
ably gone in the days of the Saltonstalls.
Thomas Safford House. This lot was
originally the property of Gen. Daniel
Dennison, having been granted to him by
the town April 20, 1635, it being
described as " a house lott neere the
Mill, containing about two acres, which
he hath paled in and built an house up-
on it, havinge Mr. Fawn's house lott on
the southwest."* Mr. Dennison con-
veyed to Humphrey Griffin of Ipswich "my
Dwelling house situate and being near the
Mill in Ipswich aforesaid together with
the yard and close adjoining to it," Jan.
19, 1641.1 The estate was next owned
by John Burnam of Ipswich, who conveyed
the " dwelling house & house lot late of
Humphrey Griffin situate near the water
mill " to Anthony Potter of Ipswich i : 4
mo.: 1648. Anthony Potter and his
wife Elizabeth, for eighty pounds, con-
veyed to John Safford of Ipswich, black-
smith, "the house and three -acre house lot
on north side of the river, near the mill,
bounded with highways round," Jan. 19,
1 66 1 4 John Safford, for his support,
conveyed to his son Thomas Safford his
now dwelling house, bam, shop and land,
as bounded by the town streets and the
Farleys, Sept. 5, 1698.!! The house is
said to have stood where the house is
drawn on the map. It was gone before
1739, probably, and Mr. Safford died in
1754, having devised the homestead to
his son Stephen.
Estate of Mesheck Farley House. This
lot was granted to Michael Farley, upon
the request of himself and his son Me-
sheck, " to build a small dwelling uppon
where we may be near to attend ye towne
service " (that is, probably, as millers, at-
tending the Saltonstall grist mill), Feb. 1 1,
1683. The house was built in 1686, and
he conveyed the estate to the son Me-

sheck, upon his marriage, Oct. i, 1686.*
Mesheck Farley died in 1696, and this
place descended to his son Michael.
Michael Farley was a cordwainer, and
died in May, 1757, having conveyed, by
deed, the old house to his son Michael.
At the time his will was made, in 1751,
he was living in a house he had built on
the. Market street side of the lot. How
much later the old house stood, the writer
has not learned, but the estate descended
to General Farley's son Robert, who died
possessed of it about 1830. It then came
into the possession of Jacob Brown.
Maj. John Whipple House. This lot
was granted by the town to Mr. Fawne
Jan. 13, 1637, being described as "a
house lott, adjoyning to Mr. Appleton's
six acres near the Mill."t John Fawne,
gentleman, conveyed to John Whipple a
house and house lot in Ipswich, contain-
ing two and a half acres, formerly sold to
grantee by John Jolly, Samuel Appleton,
JohnCogswell,Robert Muzzey and Humph-
rey Broadstreet, Oct. TO, 1650. It appears
that Mr. Whipple bought the estate be-
fore 31 : 8 : 1642, when it was ordered
by the town " that John Whipple should
cause the fence to be made betweene the
house late Captaine Denisons, and the
sayd Jo : Whipple, namely, on the side
next Captaine Denyson's and to be paid
by the town for the one halfe ; and the
other half by the Captain." f Mr. Whip-
pie died June 30, 1669, having devised
his houses and land here to his son John
Whipple, who was known as captain.
Capt. John Whipple resided here, and
died in 1683. His real estate was divid-
ed among his sons in 1684, and the man-
sion house his father deceased in, with
barn, homestead, etc., called " ye home-
stead " in Ipswich, of two and a half
acres, was assigned to his eldest son, John
Whipple. In the inventory, the home-
stead at town, dwelling house, kiln and

other houses were appraised at three hun-
dred and thirty pounds. This son, John,
last mentioned, was Maj. John Whipple,
esquire, who lived in this ancient house.
In his will, dated Aug. 30, 1721, and
proved June 15, 1722, he devised his
" now dwelling house and homestead with
all the buildings upon the same " to his
daughter Mary, wife of Benjamin Crock-
er, and her children. Major Whipple
mentioned in his will certain rooms in the
house, as parlor, parlor chamber, kitchen,
lean to, etc,
Mrs. Crocker died before 17 66; and,
after the decease of Mr. Crocker, their
daughter Mary Gunnison released her
interest in the estate to her brother John
Crocker, they having succeeded their
mother as owners of the estate under the
will of their grandfather, Maj. John Whip-
pie, being her only children, April 15,
1767.* Dea. John Crocker, as he was
called, died in April, 1806, and by his
will, dated May 4, 1804, the estate
descended to his son John, except the
great chamber in the west end of the
house, the use of which he gave to his
daughter Elizabeth so long as she re-
mained unmarried. The son John, hav-
ing removed to Londonderry, N.H., con-
veyed the homestead to his brother Jo-
seph Crocker, subject to the rights of
their sister Elizabeth in the great cham-
ber, April 1 6, 1807.1 Joseph Crocker
died in 1812 or 1813, and his heirs, ex-
cept his sister Lydia, wife of Col. Joseph
Hodgkins, released their interest in the es-
tate to her and her husband May 1 6, 1 8 1 3 .
Colonel Hodgkins died Sept. 25, 1829 ;
and his heirs conveyed the house, barn
and present lot to Caleb K. Moore of

JOHN WINTHROP THE YOUNGER.
BY GEORGE FRANCIS DOW.
John Winthrop the younger, founder of
Ipswich and the sixth governor of Con-
necticut, was born at Groton, county of
Suffolk, England, on Feb. 12, 1605-6...
He was the son of John Winthrop, after-
wards governor of the Massachusetts Bay
Colony, and was educated at Trinity
college, Dublin, and at the Inner Temple,
London, where he studied law. He soon
abandoned the law and entered the naval
service where he served under the Duke
of Buckingham in his unsuccessful expedi-
tion for the relief of the French Protest-
ants at Rochelle. After a tour of the
continent he returned to London in Au-
gust, 1639, and found his father actively
engaged in organizing the first great
emigration to the shores of New England,
which sailed in the following March. He
married his cousin, Martha Fones, Feb. 8,
1631, and six months later they embarked
for New England.
Not long after his arrival at Boston, he
was elected an assistant, or member of
the council, and a year later, in March,
I ^3 2 ~3 he took with him twelve men
and began a plantation at Agawam, after-
wards called Ipswich. Early in the fall

of 1634 his wife and little daughter died,
causing an entire change of plans for the
future, and soon after he returned to Eng-
land. Here he was commissioned gov-
ernor and placed in charge of a company
to be planted in Connecticut, Lords Say
and Brook being among the projectors of
the scheme. Before sailing, Winthrop
married Elizabeth Reade, a step- daughter
of Rev. Hugh Peter. A fort was built at
Saybrook and a settlement made, but
Winthrop seems to have spent much of
his time at Boston, where his young wife
was living, and before long was at Ips-
wich, where, Feb. -, 1637, he was chosen
one of the prudential men. In June, 1638,
he received authority to set up salt-works
at Ryall Side (Beverly), which was done ;
and there he spent much of his time
during the next two years. In the autumn
of 1640, he obtained a grant of Fisher's
island, on the Connecticut shore, and,
Aug. 3, 1641, sailed for England to or-
ganize a company. This was finally
accomplished and he returned to New
England in 1643.
From various causes the Fisher's island
project was temporarily abandoned,
and Winthrop became active in estab-
lishing iron works at Braintree. In Jan.,
1645, ne sold his farm at Ipswich and not
long after removed to what is now New
London, Conn. He is said to have built
the first house in that part of Connecti-
cut. May, 1650, he declined re-election
as assistant, an office which he had held
for eighteen years, and thereafter cast his
lot entirely with the colony at Connecti-
cut, soon taking a leading part in its gov-
ernment, being elected an assistant in
due time, and governor on May 21,
1651, which office he held for nearly
eighteen years, a longer period than was
ever reached by any other chief executive
in Connecticut. Governor Winthrop was
in England in 1661 to 1663, and was
elected a member of the Royal Society,
a tribute to his scientific accomplish-
ments.
He succeeded in his mission to Eng-
land, obtaining from Charles II. a
charter uniting the colonies of New Haven
and Connecticut, being himself named in
the charter as the first governor. In Au-
gust, 1664, he was present at the surren-
der of New Amsterdam (New York).
During the last years of his life, his
leisure hours were devoted to astronom-
ical and chemical research. He possessed
a telescope, which he afterwards gave to
Harvard college. In 1672, his wife died,
and April 5, 1676, while at Boston at-
tending a meeting of the Commissioners
of the United Colonies, he, too, died, and
was buried beside his father, in what is
now King's Chapel burying-ground.

362. Is it a fact that the early set-
tlers of Eastern Massachusetts built log
houses? Some were framed, but were
the others built of logs, rough or hewn,
piled horizontally to form a structure
similar to those now used in the Maine
woods or in the south? The use of the
thatched roof had to be abandoned be-
cause of its inflammability, but the log
house ought to have been retained on ac-
count of the ease of construction and
abundance of available timber. It seems
probable that in some of the seventeenth
century dwellings remaining, the original
log cabin should still be traced, though
surrounded with additions. Is any such
known? Because it is known that the
pioneers of the south and west built log
cabins, is it not therefore assumed that
those of Massachusetts Bay did likewise ?
What direct evidence can now be obtained
to determine this question? j. A.

The street is Abbott street, which now
runs through the original Southwick lot.
John Pickering Lot. Henry Rennalds
and Ananias Concline, both of Salem, were
probably grantees of this lot in separate
parcels. Mr. Concline built a house be-
fore 1 66 1, and it was gone before 1702.
Mr. Rennalds owned the lot April 10,
1688, when he conveyed the four acres
southwest of the dashes to Lt. John Pick-
ering and Edward Flint.* Mr. Rennalds
conveyed the remainder of the lot to John
Pickering, jr., of Salem July 6, 1689.! Mr.
Flint apparently conveyed his interest in
the southern part of the lot to John Pick-
ering, jr., Nov. 14, 1693.1 John Pickering,
sr., died in May, 1694; and in his will
he devised this land at the glass house
field to his eldest son, John Pickering, who
then owned the other part. The son died
possessed of the lot in 1722, having de-
vised it to his wife Sarah, for life, and
remainder to his eldest son Theophilus
Pickering.

early owned by John Hill, who died in
1680, having devised the residue of his
estate, including "three acres of upland
lying in glass house field," to his wife Lydia
(Buffum). She married, secondly, George
Locker before 1688. Mrs. Locker was the

the land rises gradually, and from these
gentle heights a pleasant prospect is
afforded of the village with its great flint
church, the fertile fields surrounding it,
and the tower of Groton church above
the treetops near it, a scant half mile
away.
The dwellings, in most cases, do not
exhibit signs of great age, although not a
few must be of seventeenth century date,
but they have a comfortable, homelike
aspect, lining the street in close, neigh-
borly fashion. On the north side of the
way, but in the parish of Edwardstone, is
a small graveyard in which the Congrega-
tional chapel stands, a plain modern
structure, much resembling a Friends
meeting house. Opposite The Fleece
inn at the upper end of the village, and
reached by a footbridge over the narrow
river, is a long, gambrel roofed mansion,
the residence of Mr. Kingsbury, a builder
of Boxford, that looks very much like
the New England rural home of some
representative of " the Brahmin caste "
of the region. Still farther north, beyond
the Chequers inn, is a second long, large
house, with projecting upper story, in this
instance, dazzlingly clean in its coat of
whitewash, and bearing the date M. D. C.
L. V.
The village shows less than the usual
number of public houses, for one of its
size, but as there is a police station with
court room, a superintendant, and two
constables, it is reasonable to infer that
the parish affords occasional employment
to these officials. But that crime is not
rampant in this corner of Suffolk may be
also inferred from the circumstance that
the police station has but two cells.
The national school can accomodate two
hundred children on occasion, but the
Queen Elizabeth Grammar School that
once flourished here, and that John Win-
throp may have known, has long been but
a memory.
St. Mary's church is the chief object
in Boxford, both as regards size and in-
terest, a spacious edifice of the Early
Third Pointed period, displaying much
variety of tracery in its many windows,
with here and there suggestions of flam-
boyant motifs. It includes a clerestoried
nave, choir, aisles prolonged to the east
end of the choir, the southein aisle being
the broader, north and south porches, the
former of oak with groinings of the same
material, the other of stone and unrestored
and at the west end an embattled tower
containing a clock and eight bells, and
surmounted by a slender spire, or fleche.
Save for the north porch the whole build-
ing was restored in 1888.
The nave is five bays in extent, the
arches in the pier arcades being of unu-
sual width, yet not so wide, however, as
the two arches on each side of the choir
looking into the aisles. There is a carved
oak door in the tower, and a small door
in the south choir aisle in addition to the
entrances from the porches. Floods of
light stream through the great windows
effectually dispelling any religious gloom
that might gather otherwise in the cor-
ners. St. Mary's has no monuments to
show the visitor, and but few mural tab-
lets either. Among these few, however,
the writer discovered one in the north choir
aisle bearing the following inscription :
In Memory of
Elizabeth Hyam
of this Parish, for the
fourth time a Widow:
who by a Fall, that
brought on a Mortification,
was at last
hastened to her End
on the 4-th May, 174-Sj
in her H3 th Year.
There is a subtle ironical flavour in the
expression " hastened to her end," when
taken in connection with the tale of the
years of the widow Hyam, and but for that
untimely Fall, and consequent Mortifica-
cation, she might, one would think, have
survived till it could have been said of her,
as of the wife of Bath :
" Husbands at the church door had she five."
