PREFACE.
SOME explanatory introduction to so copious a work, as the
following, will naturally be required ; but it may be short.
In 1829 was published, by John Farmer, a Genealogical
Register oi the first settlers of New England. Beside the five
classes of persons prominent, as Governors, Deputy-Governors,
Assistants, ministers in all the Colonies, and representatives in
that of Massachusetts, down to 1692, it embraced graduates of
Harvard College to 1662, tnembers of the Ancient and Honor
able Artillery Company, as also freemen admitted in Massa
chusetts, alone, to this latter date, with many early inhabitants
of other parts of New England and Long Island from 1620 to
1675. Extensive as was the plan of that volume, the author
had in contemplation, as explained in his preface, calling it " an
introduction to a biographical and genealogical dictionary," a
more ambitious work, that should comprehend sketches of indi
viduals known in the annals of New England, and " a con
tinuation of eminent persons to the present time." Much too
vast a project that appeared to me ; and the fixing of an abso
lute limit, like 1692 (the era of arrival of the new charter), for
admission of any family stocks, seemed more judicious. I sup
pose nineteen twentieths of the people of these New England
colonies in 1775 were descendants of those found here in 1692,
and probably seven eighths of them were offspring of the settlers
before 1642.
My scope is wider than that of Farmer, of course, as it
includes every settler, without regard to his rank, or wealth,
since we often find, in the second or third generation, descend
ants of the most humble (thank God we are all equal before the
VI PREFACE.
law) filling honorable stations and performing important ser
vices. But far more narrow is my plan than his projected
dictionary, because, in a grandson of the first settler, it excludes
every other incident after his birth. Space for another than is
here given, would have demanded six volumes, while ten
volumes would have been needed for a fifth generation ; and
since we now count eight, nine, or even ten generations of off
spring from not a few of the earlier planters on our shores, fifty
volumes, each as ponderous as the present, might be filled with
details, whereof one tenth would seem ridiculous, one quarter
worthless, and one half wholly uninteresting.
That New England was first occupied by a civilized people
in so short a period before the great civil war broke out in our
mother country, though half a century and more after its ele
mentary principles began to ferment, especially in Parliament,
and almost in every parish of the kingdom, was a very fortunate
event, if it may not be thought a providential arrangement for
the happiness of mankind. Even if our views be restricted to
the lineal origin of those people here, when the long protracted
impolicy of Great Britain drove our fathers into open hostility
and forced them to become a nation in 1776, in that century
and a half from its colonization, a purer Anglo Saxon race
would be seen on this side of the ocean than on the other.
Within forty years a vast influx of Irish, with not a few thou
sand Scotch and Germans has spread over this new country,
but certainly more than four fifths of our people still count their
progenitors among the ante-revolutionary colonists. From long
and careful research I have judged the proportion of the whole
number living here in 1775, that deduce their origin from the
kingdom of England, i. e. the Southern part of Great Britain,
excluding also the principality of Wales, to exceed ninety-eight
in a hundred. Every county, from Northumberland to Corn
wall, Kent to Cumberland, sent its contribution of emigrants,
and the sparse population of the narrow shire of Rutland had
more than one offshoot in New England. But, during that
interval, great was the diversity of circumstances between the
old and the new country so far as the increase of their respective
numbers by incoming of strangers was affected. In 1660 the
restoration of Charles II. in 1685 the expulsion of the two

hundred thousand Protestants from France, the desired invasion
of William and Mary in 1689, and the settlement of the House
of Hanover in 1714, each brought from the continent an in
fusion upon the original stock, the aggregate of which may not
have been less than five or six per cent, of that into which it
was ingrafted. Yet hardly more than three in a thousand, for
instance, of Scottish ancestry, almost wholly the migration of
the heroic defenders of Londonderry, that came, as one hundred
and twenty families, in 1718 and 19, could be found in 1775
among dwellers on our soil ; a smaller number of the glorious
Huguenot exiles above thirty years longer had been resident
here, and may have been happy enough by natural increase
(though I doubt it) to equal the later band. If these be also
counted three in a thousand, much fewer, though earlier still,
must be the Dutch that crept in from New York, chiefly to
Connecticut, so that none can believe they reach two in a thou
sand, while something less must be the ratio of Irish. Ger
many, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Africa, and all the rest of the
world, together, did not outnumber the Scotch, or the French
singly. A more homogeneous stock cannot be seen, I think, in
any so extensive a region, at any time, since that when the ark
of Noah discharged its passengers on Mount Ararat, except in
the few centuries elapsing before the confusion of Babel.
What honorable ancestry the body of New England population
may assert, has often been proclaimed in glowing language ;
but the words of William Stoughton, in his Election sermon,
1668, express the sentiment with no less happiness than brevity :
" GOD SIFTED A WHOLE NATION THAT HE MIGHT SEND CHOICE GRAIN
INTO THE WILDERNESS."
By an instinct of our nature, we all love to learn the places
of our birth, and the chief circumstances in the lives of our
progenitors. More liberal than that is the sentiment by which
our curious spirit desires knowledge of the same concomitants
in the case of great benefactors of mankind; and the hope of
ascertaining to a reasonable extent the early history of John
Harvard was certainly one of the chief inducements of my visit
to England early in 1842. I would have gladly given five
hundred dollars to get five lines about him in any relation, pri
vate or public. Favored as I was, in this wish, by the counte-
Vlll PREFACE.
nance and aid of His Excellency, E. Everett, then our minister
at London, no trace could be found, except in his signature to
the rules on taking his degrees at the University, when he is titled
of Middlesex. Perhaps out of such research sprang my resolu
tion to prosecute the genealogical pursuits of John Farmer.
In fulfilment of this great undertaking more than fifteen years
are already bestowed, and near two years longer may be neces
sary. Yet the rule imposed, of admitting upon these pages
only the dates of birth and marriage, and names of children, of
a child born on our side of the ocean to a settler whose tent
was pitched here before May 1692, is severely adhered to, with
the exception only of so distinguished a man as Cotton Mather ;
and even this variety may seem forced upon me by Farmer,
who had received him to the copious honors of marriage and
family. Yet, in many cases, will be named great grandchildren
of first comers, and even in a very few, another generation,
making a fifth. Explanation of this apparent deviation from
my own law is easy. When Gov. Bradford and Gov. Winthrop
came here, each brought a son, or sons, and the same is seen of
Gov. Dudley and numberless others. Now each child must be
rated as an emigrant no less than its father, so that John Brad
ford, John and Adam Winthrop, and Samuel Dudley are
equally entitled as their parents to have their grandchildren
entered in these pages ; but William and Joseph Bradford, and
Joseph Dudley, sons of the Govs. born on our side of the
water, shall not have grandchildren in their respective lines.
My apparatus for this work will sometimes be found incom
plete, yet to a great extent, the public records of Colonies,
Counties, and towns, where accessible, have been examined by
myself or friends. Of the first ten folio volumes of our Suffolk
registry of deeds I had an abstract always lying near me, and
these embraced near one third of all the names of New Eng
land and more than half those in Massachusetts Colony ; in
deed for very many years, after the emigration from Europe
ceased, only two other counties, Essex and Middlesex had been
constituted. It will be recollected, that large parts of Ply
mouth, New Hampshire, and Maine were occupied by those
who removed from Massachusetts, as was almost the whole of
Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Haven colonies. But
PREFACE. IX
modern labors of distinguished antiquaries furnish us almost in
full their early records ; and more than nine tenths of the names
in these separate communities, I think, must have been acquired
for this work. But even in my native city of Boston three or
four in a thousand may have escaped me, yet probably in the
second or third ages from its foundation.
For the time of births, marriages, or deaths in each family I
have labored assiduously to be correct, in hundreds of cases
finding wrong dates given, and commonly without hesitation
supplying the true. Where baptism is fixed, by a decent record,
weeks, and even months before the date of birth, no fear of
injuring the town clerk s credit can restrain belief in his mistake.
But the copious source of vexatidh is the variety growing out of
the Old and New Styles. In many thousand instances, I have
turned to the perpetual almanac, to be sure that the day of
baptism was truly, or not, recorded for Sunday, since the rite
could, in the first century of New England, be performed only
on that day. By this many printed errors may be corrected.
As children are often seen to be baptized in January or Febru
ary of the same year, by the ancient legal reckoning, that gives
the parents marriage in April or May, several weeks before, in
our modern reckoning of the months, instead of so many months
after, it is easy enough to put that right by calling those winter
months not the eleventh and twelfth of the old year, as the stat
ute absurdity required. Uniformly my chronology begins the
year with 1 January ; but to produce harmony between dates
for the month of March is sometimes very difficult. A few
town officers began to change the numerals for the year with
the opening of the month, daring to ask, why the first month
of 1679 should allow 24 of its 31 days to be drilled under
old 1678, while the perverse will of the rulers in fatherland
postponed the new-year s day until the 25th ; and some records
may be found, where the year ended in December ; but this
monstrous innovation did not begin before 1700, and the start
ling truth made irregular progress up to 1752, when Lord
Macclesfield enlightened the legislature, and Chesterfield charmed
it into consistency.
No apology would be necessary for filling room with enumer

open to all in printed volumes ; but much of what is now
within every one s reach had been furnished in MS. to me, and
still more is from the same hands, in many cases, given first to
the light on my pages. Our town histories are crowding for
ward, and sometimes in less compact space than might be
wished. Windsor, though its History is large, has not equalled
ancient Woodbury in bulk, yet seems to contain all, with three
fold of the interest, that might have contented us in the other.
The point of research may occupy long time, and be expressed
at last in brief phrase, so that no comparison can be made
between the result in different parts of the same field of battle
from taking only the numbers engaged in each. One initial
letter in this dictionary requrfed a year and a quarter for its
complete preparation, more than three months were given to
each of several names, like Hall or Williams, and the progress
of a page has often demanded a week. It seemed my duty to
expose every error in our genealogy that has got imbedded in
any reputable book ; and the suspicion of any such may lead
to a long train of inquiries before the refutation can be reached.
If my success has been less than my ambition, it has not been
owing to lack of industry, or to hurried operation. Printing of
the first volume began in Dec. 1858, and was prosecuted with
out interruption of a day to this time ; while for the next
volume the careful amanuensis has ready for the compositor
two hundred pages, a part of which will be given to the press
toi-morrow. For the access of new information that reaches us
almost every month, a constant watch is kept ; and life and
health being continued, my contract with the community may
be decently discharged in the autumn of 1861.
A very extensive catalogue of gentlemen, that might be
graced by one of more than half a dozen ladies, could here be
supplied, were it useful to mention the smaller as well as the
greater contributors to these sheets. To Goodwin, Bond, Harris,
father and son, Kingsley, Abbot, Day, Shattuck, Lunt, and
Kilbourne, of the respectable file who have passed out of
active service, it would not be easy to state the respective pro
portions of indebtedness ; nor could I specify the ratio of
benefit derived in my pages from benevolence of the living

Wentworth, Whitmore, Willard, Wyman, and twice as many
more. Not one of the living or dead could complain of my dec
laration, that from the distinguished antiquary of Northampton
the acquisition exceeds that of any other ten contributors.
Early in 1846 I had solicited the benefit of uniting his name
with mine in producing these volumes ; but while he shrank
from the responsibility of such unbroken labor, I can offer
several hundred pages of letters to vouch for his sympathy, and
encourage my perseverance.
19 APRIL, 1860.
ABBREVIATIONS.
BY the number of more or less imperfect words, that can be not much less than
three hundred thousand in these volumes, very great saving of space was expected.
Caution was given me, in the Genealog. Reg. XII. 362, against the woful disfiguring
that would follow, if the specimen, offered by the publishers to attract subscribers,
were to be taken for a sample. As most of these curtailments were common however
in similar works, I dared to adhere to the plan, which has not, perhaps, repelled a
dozen patrons ; and even enlarged my list by addition of one that would occur about
two thousand times. The word freeman, or freemen, may be seen, in its new shape,
frecm. without offence, I hope, to the taste of ariy subscriber. Familiar to all readers
must be the short form given to our names of the months, nine in twelve, only May,
June, and July having their whole beauty ; and yet of these nine words the recurrence
would probably show the mutilations on my pages to be fifteen or twenty thousand.
Titles are always permitted even in other books to appear in brief, as Gov. or Esq.
and when rep. may stand for representative, most who turn over a dictionary of this
sort will approve the economy. It may happen that, by the accident of the printer s
type, or my own carelessness, some word may be abbreviated that had better been
printed in full, yet I submit, that the page will be seldom disfigured by such liberty,
and probably the reader would not change more than once in five hundred examples.
Confusion will not be caused so often as that, I hope ; but if a pause be necessary, we
all feel the same thing in turning to an English dictionary for definition of words
only. Nobody reads continuously from page to page, even in the affluent vocabulary
of Johnson ; and when a sincere desire to verify a genealogy, or ascertain a special
relationship, is felt, the time will not be grudgingly reckoned, if a sentence be not
printed out in every word, but with one third or more of those words curtailed. In
the following list every word thus abbrev. may not be found, because the shortening
may by a judicious reader be referred to a class comprising many, as the adverbial
terminations, ly, Uy, wanting after easi. and honora. ; or the perfect tense or parti
ciples of verbs, ed ; or in substantives, er and ent. ; or in either part of speech, ensu,
mak. preced. and tak. Avithout ing or en. For many having different meanings, as ch.
for child, or children, or church ; d. for death, died, or daughter ; gr. for grand, great,
grant, or graduate ; mo. for mother or month, the one intended may be trusted to the
student s sagacity.
But occasions of error in names of men or women I have scrupulously avoided,, so
that only one surname can be seen in my pages to be abbrev. and but a single name
of bapt. Eliz. can hardly be mistaken, nor will the lamentation be loud, when a man s
name so distinguished as that of the first Gov. of Mass, is spelled Winth. Geographi
cal designations are forever meeting our eyes in briefer form than the legal one ; and
he has poor supply of current letters that requires to be told what shires in Eng. arc
meant by Bucks, Herts, or Notts.

script. on the monu. erect, by his descend. John Adams, sec. Presid. of

doubt, that he fell into a very natural error, not observ. the repetit.

ALBOROW, ALBOROUGH, ALBRO, ALDBURY, ALBROE, or ALSBER-
RIE, I JOHN, Portsmouth, R. I. 1655, was an Assist, 1671, and one of the
counc. appoint, by K. James II. for his Gov. Andros, 1687, as Hutch. I.
354 gives the list. Gladly would we learn more of so promin. a man,
ancest. of the Rev. John A. Albro, D. D. of Cambridge, and speak with
confid. if rec. would permit. Very reasona. may be the conject. that he
came, as a youth of 14 yrs. under charge of William Freeborne, in the
Francis from Ipswich, 1634, to Boston. Freeborne was, we kn. of Bos
ton, until the sad dissens. a. Mrs. Hutchinson, 1637, when he withdrew
in comp. of so many others with Gov. Coddington to purchase R. I.
What presumption may be drawn, from the mural tablet to Alborough in
the ch. of Stratford on Avon, whither the admir. of Shakespear annual,
resort, that this R. I. fam. came from Warwicksh. will be various, deter-
min. by differ, jurors. Alborow s d. Susanna m. 3 Jan. 1694, John An

ALCOCK, FRANCIS, Newbury, came in the Bevis 1638, aged 2G, in
the employm. of Richard Dummer, as the Eng. custom ho. rec. tells ;
but that is the sole authority for call, him of Newbury, nor is any more
kn. of him. * GEORGE, Roxbury, came in the fleet with Gov. Winth.

much bewailing his loss." Of his will, made ten days bef. an abstr. may

1666, s. of John of the same, made a lieut. 1677, and a magistr. under
authority of Mass. 1678, and capt. 1681 ; by creation of William and
Mary, in the new Chart, under adv. of Increase Mather, 1691 made a
counsellor, but was next yr. left out, on the popul. revulsion against his
patron. Hutch. II. 15, says only, that he was of Maine, yet strange is it,
that both he, and Douglas, I. 486 should falsely spell his name, Alcot, and
stranger still, that Mather should have put that error into his charter,
prob. for the sake of euphony. JOHN, Kittery, adm. freem. of Mass.
1652, prob. rem. to York, had to div. his est. 1675, two s. Joseph, and
Job, five ds. viz. Mary Twisden, w. of Samuel, perhaps, or of John the
sec. Eliz. Banks w. prob. of Richard ; Hannah Snell, w. perhaps, of
George ; Sarah Gittings, whose h. is a stranger to me ; and Lydia Dum
mer, perhaps a maiden, sole ch. of ano. d. Yet conject. may be wearied
in finding the connect. Joseph, adm. at the same time, was prob. his s.
but Samuel may not have been. JOHN, Roxbury, s. of George of the
same, b. in Eng. early in 1627, H. C. 1646, was a physician, but after

their eldest d. hath five ch." Of these in May 1627, at the div. of cat
tle, only John and Eliz. are named, so that the other nine were b. later,
but their dates of b. are not heard. He liv. most of his days at Dux-
bury, was rep. 1641, yet had been chos. an Assist, for the Col. 1633, to
Gov. Winslow, and serv. 42 yrs. in that office, to every Gov. after Car
ver. Idly would tradit. attempt to magnify his merit, as the first to jump
upon the rock at Plymouth land, when he was not of the party in the
shallop that discov. the harbor, but contin. on board ship at Cape Cod.
He was the last male surv. of the signers of the compact in that harbor,
Nov. 1620, and d. 12 Sept. 1687, aged 84, or, by other acco. 88. Of the
ds. Eliz. m. 18 Dec. 1644, William Peabody and d. 3 May 1717, aged
94, says her gr. stone ; Sarah m. Alexander Standish; Ruth m. 12 May
(Winsor has it 3 Feb.) 1657, John Bass of Braintree; and Mary m.
Thomas Delano. JOHN, Duxbury, eldest s. of the preced. rem. to Bos
ton, where the rec. says, perhaps erroneous, by w. Eliz. he had Mary, b.
17 Dec. 1659, for that date may be of d. of his w. since 1 Apr. foil,
he m. (I suppose as sec. w.) Eliz. d. of William Phillips, and wid. of
Abiel Everill, had John, b. 20 Nov. foil. d. soon; Eliz. 9 May 1662, d.
at 2 mos.; John, again, 12 Mar. 1663 ; William, 16 Mar. 1664, d. soon;
Eliz. again, 9 Mar. 1665 ; William, again, 5 Mar. 1666, d. soon; Zecha-
riah, 8 Mar. 1667, d. soon; William, again, 10 Sept. 1669; Nathaniel,
1670; Zechariah, again, 18 Feb. 1673, II. C. 1692; Nathan, 17 Oct.
1677; and Sarah, 27 Sept. 1681. In the witchcraft madness of 1692,
he suffer, many weeks imprisonm. as Calef and Hutch. II. 48, relate, yet
recover, from the popul. persecut. and d. 14 Mar. 1702. His d. Eliz. m.
John Walley, possib. gr.s. of Rev. Thomas ; and next 30 Apr. 1702,
Simon Willard, but this union is not clear to me. As his s. John had w.
Eliz. it is diffic. from the Boston rec. to tell wh. John and Eliz. had the
latest b. It might as easily be infer, that the witchcraft belong, to the
24 ALD
s. as the f., and indeed Thayer in his Geneal. makes the younger the suf
fer, in wh. he is foil, by Winsor, contrary to the general import of Calef
and Hutchinson. With them I concur, for the s. was only 29 yrs. old,
and more venerable age is usually found liable to assaults by the great
adversary for such cases. JONATHAN, Duxbury, br. of the preced. m.
10 Dec. 1672, Abigail, d. of Andrew Hallet, had Andrew, Jonathan,
John and Benjamin ; but no dates are found for either. The two former,
it is said, went to Lebanon. He was bur. 17 Feb. 1698, aged 70, says
fam. tradit. and his wid. d. 17 Aug. 1725, aged 81. JOSEPH, Duxbury,
br. prob. elder, of the preced. m. Mary, d. of Moses Simmons, rem.
early to Bridge water, had Isaac; Joseph, b. 1668 ; John, and, perhaps Eliz.
and Mary; and d. 8 Feb. 1697. The ds. were m. one bef. and one
after. From the passeng. in the Mayflower are fill, with details of de
scend. 28 pages of Thayer s Geneal. and in Collect, of Epitaphs, by Rev.
Timothy Alden, compris. in 5 vols. is seen large proof of filial gratitude.
Of this name eight had been gr. at Harv. in 1834, and two at Yale.

Dec. 1646; Rachel, or Ruth, 3 Oct. 1648; Susanna, 11 May 1652 ; and
Elnathan, 26 Dec. 1653 ; but of his identity some doubt may be felt, for
in the list of freem. 1645 is a George, who prob. was not of Boston.

circumst. by wh. he was brot. from New Haven. His last w. d. 25 Nov.

See 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. II. 101 and 3 M. H. C. VIII. 250. Both of the
Biogr. Diet. Eliot, briefly, and Allen, more at large, explain the difficult.
of his course. JAMES, Sandwich, perhaps s. of George the first, had

and Ann Harvard his w." join, that ch. 6 Nov. 1637. . From the Hist,
of Harv. Coll. it is kn. that Allen was admor. on est. of Harvard, and
paid the moneys bequeath, so that it can hardly be doubt, that the judg

author had noted, that Harvard s wid. was " supposed tohave m. Rev.
Thomas Allen." His ch. were Mary, b. 31 Jan. bapt. ^K I<eb. 1640 ;
Sarah, 8 Aug. 1641, d. in Apr. foil. ; Eliz. 17 Sept. 1643, d. in few days ;

yrs. after 1640, is lost. In 1651 he went home, and serv. at the same

yr. to Hartford, thence in few yrs. to Windsor, for wh. he was rep. 1648
to 57, Assist. 1658 to 67, and chos. Commissr. for Unit. Col. 1660 and 4,
d. 1671. His ch. were all prob. b. in Eng. John, Thomas, and Mary,
wh. m. 11 June 1646, Benjamin Nevvberry, and his will of 30 Jan. 1671
names these and the gr.ch. Mary, d. of Newberry. Common, in his
autogr. the name has y, but high authority assures me, that it is not
always so ; and in the rec. and print, books, it is nearly as often seen with
e as without. OBADIAH, Middletown, propound, for freem. Oct. 1672,
adm. next yr. m. 28 Oct. 16G9, Eliz. d. of Thomas Sanford of Milford,
had Obadiah, b. 20 Sept. 1670; Thomas, 20 Sept. 1672, d. in few wks.
Thomas, again, 27 Sept. 1673; Mary, 15 Sept. 1675; Ann, 12 Sept.
1677; Thankful, 8 Sept. 1679; Samuel, 15 Mar. 1684; and John, 27
Sept. 1686; was deac. and d. 7 Apr. 1712. Prob. he was neph. of the
first Thomas, and the descend, have generally chang. the spell, to Allen.
ROBERT, Salem, 1637, adm. of the ch. 15 May 1642, had John, and
44 ALLYN.
Sarah there bapt. Sunday foil, and Mary, 19 Nov. 1G48; in 1651 rem.
to New London, and to the then adjoin, town of Norwich at its first set-
tlem. 1659 ; but, high as is her authority on such a point, I hesitate to
adopt Miss Caulkins s opin. that, intermed. betw. Salem and New London,
he was of Saybrook. Tho. honor, with the office of constable at Norwich
1669, he went back to N. L. and there d. 1683, where part of his farm
preserves in the harbor the name of Allyn s point. Other ch. beside
those at Salem he had, as Hannah and Deborah, both prob. at N. L.
Sarah m. 17 Feb. 1659, George Geer ; Hannah m. Thomas Rose; and
Deborah was unm. at d. of f. * SAMUEL, Barnstable, s. of Thomas of

Thomas, b. 22 Mar. 1665 ; Samuel, 19 Jan. 1667 ; Joseph, 7 Apr. 1671 ;
Hannah, 4 Mar. 1673; and Eliz. 26 Nov. 1681, wh. d. at 17 yrs. was
rep. three yrs. 1682-4. His w. d. 23 Oct. 1711, and he d. 25 Nov. 1726.
* THOMAS, Wethersfield 1636, not migrat. from Watertown, for Bond
has not nam. him, was br. of Matthew, with wh. he had extraord. con-
trovers, in the law, as is fairly infer, from Trumbull s Col. Rec. I. 211,
was made freem. 1652, rep. 1656; and soon after d. as might be con-
clud. from not seeing his name as rep. in any yr. subseq. nor in the list
of freem. for that town 1669; yet he may have rem. to Middletown, as
no list of that sort is found from that place in Trumbull, and one of the
name there was deac. wh. d. 16 Oct. 1688, having had no ch. but leav.
wid. Martha, perhaps, wh. had been wid. of Roger Jepson, and d. 1690.
She calls, in her will, Obadiah A. of M. cousin. Y. not e is seen in his
last syl. tho. in his bapt. rec. Apr. 1604 (if he were s. of Samuel of
Chelmsford Co. Essex), the spell, is the other way. THOMAS, Barnsta
ble, had Samuel, b. 10, bapt. 18 Feb. 1644; John, bapt. 27 Sept. 1646;
and Mehitable, bapt. 26 Nov. 1648; and he d. Nov. 1680, at gr. age.
Mehitable m. 1 June 1667, Samuel Amiable of the same. His first w. was
nam. Winifred ; the sec. was a wid. but surnames are not found. THOMAS,
Windsor, s. of Matthew of the same, perhaps b. in Eng. m. Oct. 1658, Abi

rah, 13 July 1674 ; Esther, 29 Jan. 1676 ; and Benjamin, 1680. He was
made freem. 1659, and esteem, in the milit. serv. in wh. he rose to be
capt. and d. 14 Feb. 1696. THOMAS, Windsor, s. of the preced. m. 1686,
Martha, sec. d. of Simon Wolcott, wh. d. 7 Sept. of next yr. and in any
other particul. nothing is kn. WILLIAM, Stonington, had John, George,
Jane, and Eliz. to wh. on his d. 7 Sept. 1671, he left his prop, speak, of his
w. as if she liv. near Barnstaple in Devonsh. For the deficiencies of
this article, and the difficulty of determin. betw. Allyn, and Allen, and
ALM ALS 45
Allyne, or Alleyne, I must confess, that, after long research, satisfact. is
unattain. in sev. cases, so many individ. have, perhaps capricious, at va
rious times, writ, their fam. names in differ, ways.

Ann. of Newtown, 335. THOMAS, Stratford, wh. came in the Elizabeth

seph of New Haven, as they came together, and the younger, in 1651,
inform, the Court, that his br. without nam. him, had d. at S. leav. some
prop, and no more is kn. It may be, that the f. of these youths was that
John, rated for a subsidy in 1598, to the same parish and at the same
time with William Shakespear, nor would it be very extrav. to presume,
that he, too, went up to London from Stratford on Avon. See my notes
on Edward Jackson. TIMOTHY, New Haven 1646, mariner.
ALSOB, THOMAS, Salem vill. was a soldier, k. by the Ind. 16 July

refer, to the same rec. spells the sufferer s name, as seems, at least, equal,
likely to be correct, Alsop. But I would gladly see his origin.

3 May 1701, had been a soldier in the Province serv. Possib. but not

Worcester, 3 Sept. 1651 (that "crowning mercy" to Oliver Cromwell),
of wh. 272 were ship, in Nov. after, in the John and Sarah, from London,
to be sold here, arr. in May foil, at Boston. Beside this John, Alister,
David, and William A. were victims of the same cruel policy in the same
ship. Part of the prisoners of Dunbar, import, in the former yr. had been
well receiv. as Cotton wrote to Cromwell, and sold for 6, 7, or 8 yrs. ser
vitude. Most of these unfortunate young men d. of scurvy, or of broken
hearts ; and some of the exiles ran away, perhaps with good-will of their
purchasers, so that not one in fifty of these soldiers that foil. Charles II.
in the fatal fields of Dunbar and Worcester, and were sold in Boston, prob.
five hundred in num. liv. to have fams. in our country. JOHN, Salem
1673, a shipmaster, had been, perhaps, of Boston, 1655, and adm. with
w. Mary, of the sec. ch. 1672. RICHARD, New Haven, took o. of fidel.

but neither of him. nor of Richard, who may have been his br. is any more
seen. WILLIAM, Watertown, of wh. Dr. Bond found only, that he sat on
a coroner s jury 26 July 1669. Gr. of this name up to 1828 Farmer
found two at Harv. two at Dart, one at Yale, and eleven at the other coll.
in N. E. and N. J. chiefly, I presume from the latter.

See the invalu. " Cambridge Ch. gathering," by Newell with appx. of
Mitchell, and Harris s Epit. A person, " well skill, in mathemat." of this
name, as is ment. in Haz. I. 591, and Belkn. I. 57, is suppos. to be this
Cambridge man. See Col. Rec. III. 329 and 361. SAMUEL, eldest s. of
the preced. was min. of Milford, ord. 15 Nov. 1685, m. Abigail, d. of Gov.
Robert Treat, had Samuel, and prob. others, and d. 24 Jan. 1738. The
name has a final s. in the Conn. rec. but the Rev. owner reject, the addit. ;
the ch. and town rec. of Cambridge admit the letter, tho. the indisput.
authority of the Coll. catal. deny, and discrimin. yet in his Hecatompolis
(ch. 7 of the Magn. I.) Mather sanctifies the intrusion. WILLIAM, Cam
bridge, mariner, the freem. of 4 Mar. 1634, by w. Mary, wh. d. 19 Jan.
1640, had Samuel and perhaps other ch. and d. bef. 1655. WILLIAM,
Ipswich, was sch.master there, and in sev. other towns, may not have been
br. of Rev. Samuel, and d. 19 July 1683. But in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 19,
the extr. from the interleav. Almanac of Sewall, noticing this event is
remark, diverse in the name from the careful writer on the Ipswich gr.
sch. in G. R. VI. 69, wh. makes Thomas Andrews succeed famous Chee-
ver in the sch. 1 Aug. 1660, and teach. 23 yrs. and d. 10 July 1683.
Vehemently do I suspect, that one or the other is mistaken, that only one
man is intend, and the date of d. 10 or 19, easily reconcil. Of this name,
without s. in 1834, as Farmer mark, three had been gr. at Harv. three
at Yale, and one at some other N. E. coll.
ANDREWS, ANDROWS (or ANDROS, sometimes), ABRAHAM, Farming-

Mar. 1684; Rachel, 1686; John, 1688 ; and Thomas, 1699. ABRAHAM,
Waterbury, s. of John of Farmington, m. Sarah, d. of Robert Porter x>f
Farmington, had John, bapt. 9 Mar. 1684; Abraham, 17, certain, not,
as said somewhere, 27 July 1687; at Farmington ch. both; beside
Mary, Benjamin, and Robert. He d. 3 May 1693, leav. as appears
by Pro. rec. these five ch. and a wid. Between that Pro. rec. at
Hartford, and the town rec. of F. as well as of W. disagreem. may
be found ; at least it was hard to guess, with confidence, after large in
quiry, which Abraham was s. of Francis, wh. of John ; and Hinman, wh.
rather darkens the confus. saves hims. from anxiety by acknowledg. only
one Abraham, while he informs us, that sometimes the name is giv. An-
dros, or Andrus. His report of Francis gives him no Abraham, and tho.

he allows one to John, the report is incomplete. BENJAMIN? Farming-

Benjamin, and John, again, tw. 19 May 1G89; and Thomas, 1690; be
side Daniel, bapt. 10 Sept. 1G93 ; Samuel, 24 Nov. 1695 ; perhaps more.
*DANIEL, Salem, sch.master, in 1672, was, Dr. Bond thinks, s. of Thomas
of Watertown, liv. in the pt. call, the vill. now Danvers, for wh. in the
June Sess. 1689, the first yr. of liberty recov. from Andros, he was rep.
and in 1692 was charg. with the preposter. crime of witchcraft, perhaps
bee. he kn. more than some of his neighb. but was releas. early in the yr.
foil, when reason prevail, over the influence of Cotton Mather. DANIEL,
Farmingtoiij s. of John, had Daniel, b. 9 Mar. bapt. 20 July 1673 ; Mary,
9, bapt. 13 Dec. 1674; Joseph, b. 10 Aug. 1676; Thomas, 1678; John,

1685; Paul, 3 Jan. 1687; Stephen, 1 Dec. 1689, prob. d. soon; and
Stephen, again, 28 Sept. 1690. EDAVARD, .Newport 1639, perhaps
rem. to Saco, at least one of the name was freem. there 1653, ace.
Folsom, 123, of the planta. I suppose he means, for he does not appear in
the Col. list, d. 1668. EDWARD, Hartford 1655, sw. freem. 1657, had
Edward, wh. d. unm. and Solomon ; beside ds. Mary, and Sarah, of wh.
the last m. Henry Treat of H. and next David Forbes. EDWARD, War
wick, among freem. there 1655, but no w. or ch. is heard of; may possib.
be he who was early of Newport. FRANCIS, Hartford 1639, had John,
bapt. 27 Sept. 1646 ; and Thomas, 2 Jan. 1648 ; rem. to Fairfield, there
d. 1662, or 3, his will being of 6 June of the former, pro. 5 Mar. of the
latter yr. In it he provides for four s. and five ds. viz. in addit. to the
two bef. ment. were Jeremiah, and Abraham, ds. Eliz. Mary ; Esther ;
Rebecca, wh. bee. sec. w. 7 July 1678, of Samuel Benedict of Norwalk;
and Ruth ; beside Hannah, wh. had m. John Crampton, after of Norwalk.
Quite uncert. is it, whether his s. Abraham were the man, wh. d. 1693, or
he wh. had ch. 1699. * HENRY, Taunton, an orig. purchas. rep. 1639

e in the last syl. but he of 1635 hav. the prefix of respect may seem
rather to belong to Charlestown or Cambridge by proximity of other
names in that day s list. From Lewis in Hist, of L. no light is deriv.
here. WILLIAM, New Haven, a promin. man, sign, the compact 1639,

man, for this William m. Ann, wid. of William Gibbard, d. of William
Tapp, and d. 4 Mar. 1G7G, as by the highest authority I am instruct. His

been mo. of the former childr. Ano. WILLIAM of Ipswich had Solomon,
b. 8 Aug. 1G99. Perhaps one of these many Williams was a carpenter,
wh. came in the James from Southampton, 1635. Confusion very easily
arises between names of so common occur, with so slight variations of res

by w. Rebecca had Rebecca, b. 25 Feb. 1687 ; and by w. Mary, as the rec.
(perhaps untrustworthy in this name) says, ha d Samuel, b. 3 Mar. 1688.
Easy eno. may be the conject. as to error, that the writer in the clerk s
office took Mary as w. of Joshua, bee. he saw such connex. of parents
with ch. few yrs. bef. but equal, easy is the other suppos. that Rebecca
was not the true name of the w. but carelessly giv. bee. the ch. had that
name. To this latter suggest, is perhaps to be add. that it is somewhere
writ, that Joshua m. Mary, wid. of Samuel Smith, and d. of Samuel Mav

1644, had brs. John and Robert (unless the latter were neph.) to wh. with
sis. Esther Coster he gave most of his est. that was a good one, by will of
20 Sept. 1669, being "bound on a voyage to Boston." Yet he got back
safe, and liv. sev. yrs. He was the sufferer, I judge, in 1676 and 7, on
the voyage from Boston to N. II. cast away on a desolate isl. in the little
vessel with Ephraim How, near Cape Sable, relation of wh. in Mather s
best manner, may be read in Magn. VI. appropr. call. Thaurnaturgus, c. 1.
Of his inv. of 1638 the date is 26 Feb. 1678. The larger part his sis.
had, to br. John (prob. then in Eng.) the beq. was only 20, and John s
s. Nicholas had 100, and ano. s. had 40, and Robert, 150. After
Mrs. Coster d. 5 Apr. 1691, Robert, the next of kin, resist, pro. of her
will, cont. some beq. for " support of religion and learning ;" but he met
with no success. ROBERT, New Haven, prob. neph. tlio. Dodd calls him
br. of the preced. m. 20 Nov. 1673, Mary, d. of dep. gov. Matthew Gil

Bond, writing his name Agar, found not w. or ch. but prob. he rem. to

1639 ; beside elder ch. Joseph, and Abigail, wh. bee. w. of Joseph Kib-

AUGUSTIN^, JOHN, Reading 1677, had come from the Isle of Jersey,

Gustin, and is justif. by his own writ, but the wild perversity of a scrive

WILLIAM, Charlestown, s. of Richard the sec. m. 30 June 1696, Hannah
Trarice, d. prob. of John of the same ; but I find no more of him. One
of this surname, whose bapt. name is not seen, would have gone home in
1638, from New Haven, with large prop, but was taken by the Turks,
82 AVE
and sold at Algiers with w. and fam. as is relat. in Winth. Hist. IT.

Easily this name in old MS. is mistak. for Avery, sometimes for Averitt,

AVERT, CHRISTOPHER, Gloucester, a weaver, came, I conject. from
Salisbury in Co. Hants, as one of the same name liv. in the age preced.
at that city ; was selectman 1646, and sev. yrs. more, in 1653 his w. was
in Eng. in 1658 he rem. to Boston, and in 1666 to New London. He
had brot. from Eng. s. James, perhaps other ch. and was old eno. in 1667

He was held in high esteem, lieut. capt. rep. 1659, often after to 1669,
serv. in Philip s war, when he command, the Pequot allied force, and was
liv. in Feb. 1694. JAMES, New London, s. of the preced. m. Deborah,
d. prob. eldest of Edward Stallion, and well perpet. the fam. name. tho.
in Caulkins I see not names and dates of ch. JOHN, Dorchester 1642,

Cambridge, had Margaret, b. 9 Nov. 1681, d. young; Sybil, 11 Aug.
1683 ; Margaret, again, 20 Aug. 1686 ; and Dorothy, 4 July 1688 ; and
he d. 16 Sept. 1694. His wid. m. Rev. Michael Wigglesworth. JOSEPH,
(not John, as Mather, in his ambitious cap. 2 of Magn. III. 77, mislead
all succeed, writers, until the recent publicat. of our contemp. Col. Rec.
I. 154) ; would have been call, of Marblehead, as he was going to that
settlem. from Ipswich, when he was lost 15 Aug. 1635, by shipwreck of
the little bark in wh. with his fam. of eleven, as his cous. and fellow pas-
seng. Thomas Thacher tells in his Narrative. By that, one of the most
affecting and effective stories of disasters of this sort, Dr. Young enrich,
his Chronicles of Mass. From Winth. I. 165, we hear of the w. and six
small ch. that perish with him, but the resid. no doubt, were serv. He
had been a min. in his native Co. prob. of Wiltsh. and I judge had come
in the James from Southampton that brot. his kinsman Thacher, but
AVIS. 83
nobody informs us, at \vh. of the Univ. he was bred, or of wh. parish he
had taught. Hubbard, 200, may not be taken for authority as to his
coining in the Angel Gabriel (if so he meant to be understood), for he was
arr. at Boston the day bef. the Angel Gabriel weighed her anchor below
Bristol. Thacher, as in the rec. bef. cited, was by our Gen. Ct. made
admor. and in his inv. as well as the appoint, the dec. is named Joseph.
One wh. reads with appreciative skill the authentic Narrative will disre
gard the acco. in the Magnalia, nor wonder, why the most heedless of au
thors call, him John. ROBERT, Dedham, perhaps s. of William of the
same, was the freem. of 1G90, I think, spelt Awry in the invalua. list of
Mr. Paige, Geneal. Reg. III. m. 13 Apr. 1G76, Eliz. d. of Job Lane, had

3 Oct. 1690, and he m. 25 Aug. 1698, wid. Mehitable Worden, relict of
Samuel, a d. of Gov. Thomas Hinckley, and d. 15 Dec. 1708. In the
Coll. Catal. it may be seen, that the first two of this name are not rank,
by seniority, or by date % of ordin. (both being min. John of Truro, the
first there, ord. Nov. 1711, and Joseph, also the first of Norton, ord. 26
Oct. 1714), or by alphabet, priority, wh. may, no doubt, be explain, by
regard to the rules that of old regulat. the assignment of places.

brot. from Eng. childr. b. from 1612 to 1620 (when the f. would have
been betw. 1 and 8 yrs. old), this testim. relieves the geneal. A sec. w.

sis. of George the first ; and it may be nearer the truth, when it tells of
his runaway match with the d. of his master, their kind recept. by the Ind.
in the wilderness, discov. of his d. and her h. some four yrs. after by the
bride s f. and forgiveness, liberality &c. than as it relates his d. 19 July

protraction of days, tho. unlikely, might be correct, yet the f. d. from
twenty to forty yrs. too early, and his wid. m. bef. 1700 Erasmus Babbit.
Indeed his d. is marked 1685, and his wid. nam. Mary, and eldest s. James,

(wh. d. the foil, yr.) relative to the ancestry of this Nathaniel, at wh. was
present a party advers. interest, might, without violence, be constr. to refer
equally to the Barnstable fam. tho. it is less prob. NATHANIEL, Barn-
stable, s. of the first Nathaniel, m. 27 Mar. 1673, Sarah, d. of Gov. Hinck-

1641 ; and d. 1653, leav. wid. Rebecca, d. it is said, of Thomas Potter of
Coventry, wh. had been mayor of that borough. They had liv. in Dublin,
and, on the outbreak of the Irish rebellion, she was sent over here, says
tradit. and her h. foil, soon ; but her br. Humphrey P. and other relat.
perish, in the massacre. Some community of origin may be, perhaps,
traced to this tradit. and to that of Michael ; yet the flight from the re
bellion would seem more natural in that early day to be direct, to Eng.
Felt says, William was freem. after 1643 ; but the evidence is not seen.
In 1834 Farmer found the gr. of this name to be seven at Yale, four at
Harv. and four at other N. E. coll. the earliest of wh. Jacob, H. C. 1731,

now Milton, perhaps br. of Robert of the same, had George, b. 26 Feb.
1658; possib. other ch. GEORGE, Milton, s. perhaps of the preced. or of
Robert, had, as Morse supposes, Dorothy, wh. m. Ebenezer Wood, and, it
may be, more ; yet this seems very loose, without dates. JAMES, Ports
mouth, R. I. among freem. in 1655, rem. to the other side of Narraganset
Bay. See Babcock, and observe, that the strange delusion of Hinman a.
the glorious comp. of Leyden pilgr. by the Ann, 1623, is adopt, by Morse,
as if such a brat were better rear, than stifled. ROBERT, Dorchester 1 648,

br. RICHARD. THOMAS, New Haven 1639, of wh. no good is told. In

from other N. E. coll.

Scituate. See Lincoln, Cent. Addr. 39. Farmer mistook him for s. of
Nicholas. NATHANIEL, Yarmouth, eldest s. of Francis, had three s.
Samuel, b. 29 Oct. 1670; Nathaniel, 27 Jan. 1672; and prob. the other
was nam. Silas, says Mr. Otis. Both he and his w. d. Dec. 1691, as Mr.
O. assures me. * NICHOLAS, Hingham 1635, br. of the first Nathaniel,
freem. 3 Mar. 1636, rep. 1636 and 8, rem. to Scituate, there was ord.
1660, third min. of the first ch. and was of such good temper as to recon
cile the two chhs. wh. had quarrel, for thirty yrs. Mather, with his
habitual carelessness, says, in the Magn. III. 219, " he had but a private
educat." taking occasion to utter one of his brilliant clauses ; yet I found
at St. John s CoU. Cambr. that he had his A. B. 1631-2, and A. M. 1635.
A short time he stopped at Roxbury. His w. that prob. was mo. of all
his ch. d. 1661, and he next yr. took ano. of wh. the bapt. name Grace
only is kn. and d. 22 Aug. 1678, aged 67. Her he made Extrix. of his
will, in wh. he names six ch. Samuel, Nicholas, Eliz. Sarah, Deborah,
and Mary. All the ds. were m. Mary, 26 Feb. 1662, to Stephen Vinal ;
Eliz. m. 1664 to John Vinal; Sarah m. 1671, Josiah Litchfield ; and
Deborah m. 1678, Israel Chittenden. Deane, 181-3. NICHOLAS, Marble-
head, wh. Willis, I. 135, says m. Eliz. d. of George Bartlett of Scar
borough, may have been s. of the preced. but we want the illumin. of
a date. Of one Nicholas, late of Boston, mariner, wh. may have been a
gr.s. of Rev. Nicholas, admin, was gr. 8 Oct. 1695, to his mo. in law,
Jane Colyer of Hull. || RICHARD, Dorchester, 1639, freem. 18 May
1642, ar. co. 1658, by w. Faith, d. of Henry Withington, wh. d. 3 Feb.
1689, had Mary, b. 27 Apr. 1643, beside five other ds. perhaps, and
certain, two s. only one having date, and one even without a giv. name,
as by his will of 7 Oct. 1689 is shown, viz. John ; James ; Thankful, w.
of William Griggs ; Eliz. w. of a Pratt ; Hannah, b. 9 Jan. 1663, wh.
had ra. 5 May 1685, John Wiswall; Sarah, then dec. wh. had been w. of

1640. See Winth. II. 24. ROBERT, Roxbury, by w. Mary had
Robert, b. 29 Oct. 1673, wh. d. at 11 yrs.; Mary, 11 Oct. 1675 ; Sarah,

1680 ; Benjamin, 15 Aug. 1682 ; and Ann, 8 June 1685 ; and he d. 25
Oct. 1720. Ment. on the rec. of d. is seen of two ch. viz. Eliz. 11 Sept.
and Jonathan, 24 Sept. 1694, of neither of wh. can the b. be found.
SAMUEL, Lynn, came in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, aged 30, from
London; but he was of Co. Kent, says tradit. and d. 16 Dec. 1666.
SAMUEL, Marshfield, not s. of Nicholas, as was once thot. m. 29 Dec.
1656, Elinor, d. of Kenelm Wirislow, had Kenelm, b. 23 Mar. 1658;
Lydia, 18 Feb. 1660 ; Eliz. 18 Mar. 1662 ; Alice, 19 May 1663 ; and
Elinor, 1665 ; beside others in 1667, 9, and 71, of whose names, in the
mutilat. state of the rec. no certainty can be attain. His w. d. or was
bur. 27 Aug. 1676, and he m. 21 Feb. foil. Patience, wid. perhaps of the
first Moses Simmons of Duxbury, had Samuel. SAMUEL, Windsor

Robinson, rem. to Barnstable, there had adm. with his w. 1687, to that
ch. on dism. from II. j THOMAS, Milford 1639, Easthampton, L. I.

Eliz. b. 2 Oct. 1641 ; John ; Joseph, 24, bapt. 27 Feb. 1648 ; Sarah, 24,

1667 ; and he d. 28 Jan. 1684, "old, blind, godly," in the express, rec.
of ch. His s. Thomas was k. by the Ind. at Sudbury fight, Apr. 1676,
surely a very young soldier, under Wadsworth, but he had serv. in the
Narraganset campaign as one of Johnson s comp. in Dec. bef. i. e. less
than twelve yrs. old. No iucid. of those days more striking, gives proof
of the extens. reach of the perils. Sarah m. 19 Apr. 1671, Sebas Jack
son ; and Mary m. Roger Adams. THOMAS, Lynn, s. of the first Ed
ward of the same, m. 10 July 1689, Mary Lewis, perhaps d. of John.
In June 1730, he testif. that he was 77 yrs. old, and that Andrew Towns-
end of L. wh. he had well kn. 55 yrs. was wound, in the gr. Narraganset
fight, 19 Dec. 1675, under Capt. Gardner. * THOMAS, Topsfield, freem.
1665, m. a. 1673, Priscilla, d. of Dept. Gov. Samuel Symonds, had Pris-
cilla, and prob. more ch. was a milit. officer, and rep. 1686, 9, and 90.
THOMAS, a min. 1678 at Newport, I hear nothing more of. THOMAS,
New London 1686, may have been s. of William, and certain, left ch.

THOMAS, Yarmouth, youngest s. of Francis, by w. Bathsheba had Mary,

s. of Edward, freem. 1676, m. 16 Jan. 1672, Grace, d. of John Marsh of
Hadley, had Grace, b. 1673, d. soon; Timothy, 1675 ; and his w. d. 31

Nov. 1689. His w. d. 8 Dec. 1691 ; and he d. 30 Aug. 1729. His
third s. was the youth, wh. m. Christina, d. of Richard Otis, that was
taken by the Ind. at 3 mos. old, from Dover, with her mo. when they k.

d. Baker had been made a pris. by the Ind. prob. tak. to Canada in
1704, and in differ, capacity in 1714, accomp. Col. Stoddard to bring
home the prisoners from Quebec. Many descend, in N. E. and remote
parts spring from this m. among others Hon. John Wentvvorth, late M.
C. from Chicago, and present mayor of that prosper, city. WALTER,
Scituate, was suspect, in 1651, of murder of John Winter; but no sup
port was found for that surmise. WILLIAM, Charlestown 1633, freem.
3 Sept. 1634, hav. join, the ch. in Aug. 1633, was one of the petitnrs.
in favor of Wheelwright, but seasona. chang. his mind, and contin. in

Nov. 1658. His wid. d. 26 Sept. 1669. Frothingham, 82, 5. WILLIAM,
Plymouth 1643, may, I think, have been first of R. I. as early as 1638,
and prob. went thither again, being count, among the freem. 1655, at
Portsmouth. WILLIAM, Boston, pump-maker, m. 23 Sept. 1651, Mary,
d. of Edmund Eddington, had Mary, b. 16 May 1652, d. at 3 mos.;

foil, and he m. 22 Apr. next, Pilgrim, eldest d. of John Eddy of Water-
town. But gr. uncert. or confus. appears after this, for Bond, 203, and

Baker. Yet she was young, when B. m. her, and he rein. prob. to
Concord, and there he or ano. William d. leav. wid. Mary and s. William.

BALCH, BENJAMIN, Beverly, eldest s. of the first John of the same, m.
Sarah, cl. of the first Thomas Gardner, had Samuel, b. 1651 ; John, 1654 ;
Joseph, a soldier of " the flower of Essex " under Capt. Lathrop, k. by the
Ind. 18 Sept. 1675, at Bloody brook ; and Freeborn, 9 Aug. 1660; and
he d. a. 1706, many yrs. after his w. as we infer from her not being ment.
in his will of 18 Jan. 1689. Being call. 77 yrs. old, it has been hastily
assum. that he was the first b. of Mass, as the late Dr. Bentley stoutly
assert, the same honor for John Massey, and brot. forward, as his best
evid. the cradle, in wh. he was rocked. But Felt seems to prove, that
Roger, s. of Roger Conant, was b. at Salem bef. Massey or Balch. FREE-
BORN, Salem, youngest s. of the first John, disappears a. 1658, prob. going
for Eng. that yr. and not heard of after. JOHN, Salem, one of the earliest
sett, of Mass, from the vicin. of Bridgewater, Co. Somerset, came, it is
said with suffic. probabil. in 16^3, with Robert Gorges, to make estab-
lishm. at Cape Ann, or Nantasket, and on encouragem. from White the
min. of Dorchester, a most earnest promoter of the colony, rem. with
Roger Conant to plant at Salem, on Beverly side, then call. Bass riv.
He req. adin. as freern. 19 Oct. 1630, and took the o. 18 May foil. By
his w. Margaret, one of the earliest mem. of the ch. of Higginson, was b.
Benjamin, a. 1629, John, and Freeborn; but he had sec. w. Agnes, or
Annis, nam. with those s. in his will of 15 May, pro. 28 June 1648.
JOHN, Beverly, s. of the preced. in. Mary, d. of Roger Conant, had Mary,
wh. d. young ; and it is riot seen, that he had other issue. He was drown.
16 June 1662, and his wid. m. William Dodge. Good memoir of this
fam. is print, in Geneal. Reg. IX. 233. Farmer notes, that in 1829 five
of this name had been gr. at Harv. and one at Dart.
BALCOM, or BOLKCOM, ALEXANDER, Providence, call. junr. when

GEORGE, Boston, by w. Ann had John, b. 25 Oct. 1639, wh. d. under 4
yrs. perhaps rem. to Warwick, there was among the freem. in 1655.
In 1672 one of this name was at Huntington, L. I. but we may not infer,
that he was the same, as this fam. name was very abund. especial, in
Conn, whose peop. spread much upon L. I. HENRY, Portsmouth 1631,
sent by Mason, the patentee. See Adams, Ann. 18. HENRY, Woburn,
freem. 1652, was, as is said, from Devonsh. m. 1 Nov. 1649, Phebe, eld

was f. of Loammi, A.A.S. the friend and corresp. of Count Rumford, and
project, the Middlesex canal, the earliest undertak. of that kind in N. E.
Loammi, H. C. 1800, a gr. civil engineer, was s. of that Loammi. JOHN,
Dedham, one of the first sett, by w. Joanna had John, b. 24 June 1635,

5 July next ; in that instr. he names all the ch. exc. Samuel, Mary, and

vester, Miss Caulkins infers, that the f. was s. of the s. of him of the same
name wh. d. 1638 on his voyage to our shore. JOHN, the passeng. in the
Speedwell to Boston from London, 1656, aged 21, with Mary, 20 (per
haps his sis. more prob. his w.), may not be certain, determin. among so
many of this name. JOHN, Salem, m. Sept. 1664, Arabella, d. of John
Norman, had Hannah, b. 15 Oct. 1667 ; and John, 26 Nov. 1668. JOHN,

James, Samuel, Mary, and Hannah ; but whether these ch. were all by the
sec. w. or whether she m. sec. h. is not told to me. Of the s. Joseph soon
rem. to Maiden ; James to Milford ; and in short time this name had van

Westcoat, wid. it is said, of Richard of Fairfield (but of him I kn. nothing),

m. Thomas Skidmore. His ch. went back to M. NATHANIEL, Milford,
not s. of the preced. was k. in the gr. swamp light, 19 Dec. 1675. Other
Nathaniels there were at M. nearly at the same time, as in 1677 one is
nam. senr. and ano. junr. in a div. of town Ids. but ten yrs. later one call,
weaver, the other, cooper. NATHANIEL, Milford, s. of Nathaniel the first,
m. 1671, Henry Botsford s d. Hannah, had Eliz. b. 1672; Hannah. 1674;
Nathaniel, 1676; possib. Esther, 1683; and Samuel, 1684. One Na
thaniel cl. at M. 1692 ; and that Nathaniel, wh. fell in Philip s war may
have been a stranger to this blood. That s. of the first John wh. bore
this name would have been among the later inhab. of M. PETER, Salem,
m. 27 May 1672, wid. Rachel Dell. Felt. RICHARD, Braintree 1637,
had d. Jane, and from Winth. II. 348 is seen all that is kn. * RICHARD,
Milford 1640, came not with f. and mo. prob. (of wh. he was eldest s.) in
tlie Martin to Boston 1638, but foil, soon; m. 1642, Eliz. Alsop, sis. of

Zechariah, b. 22 Sept. 1660; Martha, 1 Apr. 1663; and Barnabas,
posthum. bapt. 1666. In some rec. will be seen Theophilus, b. 26 Apr.
1659 ; but perhaps it is an error of the yr. He was town elk. 1648, and
rep. 1660 to his d. 23 July 1665. Perhaps he was one of the first sett.
at Derby, as ment. by Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 274, 322. He left good
est. to his ch. and wid. wh. m. William Fowler. Of the ch. a suffic. story
is obtain. Eliz. m. 1663, Zechariah Burwell; Sarah m. 1667, Samuel

found a good result, and such was his ; yet more import, are the ques
tions of his b. and of his coming. Differing in opin. from a disting.
descend. (Hinman in Geneal. Reg. VII. 376,) because he calls him "a
Scotch gent, from Ayr. as early as 1653," I ought to offer reasons. H.
contrary to the common error, that is of assum. too early a yr. for the
arr. of an ancest. on our shore, takes a date that would afford currency
108 BALLARD.
to a suspicion of Lis being one of the melancholy exiles from the triumph
of the civ. war. Surely he was here pretty early in 1651, prob. a yr.
or two bef. as otherwise he would hardly have gain. Hollard s d. so early.
A Scot we may easily believe he was, one of the founders, we kn. of the
Charit. Soc. of that nation, wh. with the ever active spirit of nationality
begun in Boston 1657, then compos, of twenty-seven mem. of whose names
his is tenth. No sufferer in the cause of Charles Stuart can be supposed
so early to have acquir. social position and property to contribute to " the
box." See Drake s Boston, 455. A cooper was more likely, two hundred
yrs. ago, to have been bred at Glasgow than its neighboring little vill. of
Ayr; and one of those tradesmen, whose motto was " let Glasgow flourish,"
would hardly be call. gent, of A. Often the name appears Bellantine,
sometimes Ballentyre.

of Amesbury a. 1654. It has been thot. that he is the man in the list of
passengers by the Globe from London for Virginia, 1635, and the names
of William Brown, and Richard Wells in the same list are seen, both,
also, found at Salisbury. But those surnames are so frequent on both
sides of the ocean, that the argument must not be pressed too far. Some
persons might, at that time, think it easy to go from one part of America
to another; but most of those for Virginia were not puritans, and all wh.
would come to New Eng. especially from London, easily gained direct,
instead of circuitous passage. Of this name, includ. those spelt without e,

BARRON, DANIEL, Woburn 1653, was perhaps s. of Ellis the first.
ELLIS, or ELLIZ, Watertown, freem. 2 June 1641, brot. from Eng. prob.
three or four ch. for Bond names the issue in this order, Ellis ; Mary, wh.
m. 10 Dec. 1650, Daniel Warren; Susanna, wh. m. 14 Dec. 1653, Ste
phen Randall; Hannah, wh. m. a. 1659, Simon Coolidge ; John ; Sarah,
b. 4 July 1640; Moses, 1 Mar. 1643 ; and Peter, a soldier in Moseley s
comp. k. by the Ind. Sept. 1675. He had two ws. Grace (thot. to be mo.
of all those ch.), and Hannah, wid. of Timothy Hawkins, m. 4 Dec. 1653 ;
was constable 1658, selectman 1668, and d. 30 Oct. 1676. His will made
four days bef. pro. 19 Dec. foil, provides for w. for the seven ch. remain,
after loss of Peter, and for gr.ch. Eliz. Barren. ELLIS, Watertown, s. of
the preced. m. Hannah, d. of Timothy Hawkins, and Bond gives the date
wh. I have taken for m. of her mo. with the f. of this h. tho. he may be
right, and possib. mo. and d. f. and s. were m. on one day, yet it seems
less prob. He had Ellis, b. 22 Apr. 1655 ; Hannah, 6 Mar. 1658 ; Eliz.
14 Apr. 1660, d. soon; Sarah, 4 Nov. 1662 ; and perhaps Eliz. again ;
rem. to Groton, there had Grace, 29 July 1665; Mehitable, 22 June
1668 ; Timothy, 18 Apr. 1673 ; Dorothy, 6 Mar. 1675, perhaps d. young ;
and Abigail, 14 Nov. 1676. At Lancaster he made his will 31 Dec.
1711, pro. 7 Oct. foil. wh. teaches us the names of hs. for six of his ds.
Abigail Houghton, Mehitable Parker, Hannah Cady, w. of James, Eliz.
-Philbrick, w. of Ephraim, Sarah Taylor, and Grace Stevens. He had
prefer. L. to G. after the equal destruction of both. From Groton he was
driv. in Philip s war, and reappears at W. with w. Lydia. ELLIS, Lan-
BAR 127
caster, s. of the preced. m. 27 May 1G79, Mary, d. of Rev. John Sher
man, and how venerable rec. may distort a name is shown here, where
the elk. must certif. that Eliz. Barren jr. m. Mary Sherman ; and he had
sec. w. Lydia, unless Bond have confus. him with his f. as he suspect.
JOHN, Groton, s. of Ellis the first, had John, b. 4 Apr.. 1665 ; Moses, 26
Mar. 1669 ; Ellis, 4 June 1672 ; and Eliz. 28 Sept. 1677 ; but the name
of his w. or date of his d. is not seen. MOSES, br. of the preced. may
have liv. at Woburn, at least he m. Mary, eldest d. of Isaac Learned of
that place, but prob. d. early. TIMOTHY, Watertown, a weaver, s. of Ellis
the sec. m. 10 Mar. 1698, Rachel, d. of Samuel Jennison of the same, had
Joseph, bapt. 30 Oct. foil. ; Timothy, 1 July 1700 ; Peter, b. 26 July
1702 ; Samuel, Oct. 1704, d. next mo.; and Hannah, 6 Aug. 1709 ; and
his wid. Rachel m. John King. Of Oliver, H. C. 1788, it is said by
William Winthrop, in his interlcav. catal. that he d. 1809, a physician in
the Isle of Man.
BARROWS, or BARROW, JAMES, Dover, was tax. 1670, says Mr. Quint,
but he tells no more. JOHN, Plymouth, had w. Deborah, s. Robert, Bena-
jah, Joshua, and Ebenezer, beside two ds. when he d. 12 Jan. 1692.
ROBERT, Plymouth, perhaps br. of the preced. m. 28 Nov. 1666, Ruth,
d. of George Bonum, had Eliezur, b. 15 Sept. 1669, wh. d. soon ; and no
more is kn. of the f. ROBERT, Plymouth, s. of John, m. Lydia Dunham,
had Robert, b. 1689; Thankful, 1692; Elisha, 1695; Thomas, 1697;
and Lydia, 1699.
BARRY, JOHN, New London 1659, may have been only transient, as
he is seen only as a witness to deed of Id.
BARSHAM, JOHN, Portsmouth, or as Bond thinks, of Exeter, eldest s.
of William, by w. Mehitable had Annabel, b. 31 May 1670; Mary, 26
Feb. 1672 ; Dorothy, 2 Feb. 1674 ; Sarah, 11 Aug. prob. 1675 ; and
William, 25 Apr. 1678. JOSHUA, Watertown, br. of the preced. outliv.
his f. but in Bond s opin. was never m. NATHANIEL, Watertown, br. of
the preced. m. 13 Mar. 1679, Eliz. eldest d. of the first William Bond,

Phips against Quebec, 1690, after a capt. had no ch. and d. 2 Aug. 1716.

LIAM, Watertown, came, it is thot. 1630, freem. 9 Mar. 1637, by w. Am-

thaniel, 1644; Sarah ; Mary, 24 June 1648 ; Rebecca, 12 Dec. 1657;
and Eliz. 29 July 1659. He d. 13 July 1684, in his will of 23 Aug.
preced. with codic. of 15 Apr. foil, not nam. w. leads us to infer, that she
was d. No doubt he was a man of good public spirit, selectman 1653,
128 BARSTOW.
and fill, other office of import. Hannah m. 19 Dec. 1656, John Spring
jr. ; Susanna, and Sarah m. and had ch. but their hs. are not mark. ;
Mary m. 7 May 1675, deac. John Bright, and next, 12 Dec. 1700,
Hananiah Parker of Reading ; Rebecca m. 14 May 1683, Edward Win-
ship of Cambridge ; and Eliz. m. 5 July 1694, Adam Eve of Boston ;
yet to so odd a name Bond puts a quere for place, while my suspicion
attaches more to the person s spell.
BARSTOW, BAIRSTO, or BERESTO, || GEORGE, Boston, came from Lon

MIAH, Scituate, s. of John of Cambridge, by w. Lydia had John, and

made freem. 3 Mar. foil. rem. bef. 1642 to Watertown. He was from
Shelf, near Halifax, Co. York, W. Riding, s. of Matthew, says Bond, bapt.

the same with Marcia. He brot. prob. his w. s sis. Susanna, wh. d. unm.
As he had no ch. his will of 23 June 1674 proves his est. good, as was
the spirit in which he div. it (see Geneal. Reg. VIII. 169) ; and his w.
hav. d. 20 July 1671, many relat. partook, beside the benefac. to his spirit,
guide, Rev. John Sherman, the farm of 100 acres. He d. 1676, not, as
BARTHOLOMEW. 129
sometimes said, the day of date of his will. He wrote his name Bairstow.

N. E. coll. in 1834.

1639, rem. to Salisbury, of wh. he was rep. 1640, 1, 3, and 50, rem. to
Boston, and there was casu. k. 10 Aug. 1661 by a s. firing at a mark in
the orchard. His wid. made her will 14 Mar. 1679, call. hers. 76. We
kn. not the names of those ch. he brot. from Eng. but one was prob.
Thomas, for he carr. on the business of his f. at B. Eight or more were
b. in this country, for Coffin ment. thirteen, yet gives dates of only three,
John, b. at S. 4 Mar. 1641; Paul, and Barnabas, tw. 18 Feb. 1643.
Others (part b. in Eng.) were Christopher, Ann, Samuel, Jane, Sarah,
Abigail, Timothy, Ebenezer, and Eliz. This last d. 6 July 1652, perhaps
young; Ann m. 12 June 1657, Edmund Angier ; Jane m. 3 Apr. 1661,
Dr. Peter Toppan, and may therefore be supposed to have been b. on our
side of the water, while the other side must be thot. birthplace of Ann,
as she was sec. w. of Angier. Christopher was of Dover in 1662 ; Paul
was a glazier, and Timothy a tailor, both freem. 1 673, at Boston, and both
prob. certain one of them interest, in the tannery ; and of Samuel it is
said that he was a min. in Eng. and infer, that he never came back to
this Id. if he was, as is prob. b. here. NICHOLAS, Newbury, perhaps br.
of the preced. came in the James from Southampton, with w. Lucy, arr.

linen weaver," had Sarah, b. 12 June 1640, and two more ds. He d. 6

Feb. 1706, call. " the aged." In the will of their gr.f. Fisher, of wh. Battle
was an overseer, most of the ch. are ment. Mary m. 20 Mar. 1677, John
Bryant ; and Sarah m. 23 Oct. 1679, Silas Titus. Very improb. seems to
me the recent tradit. that he came to N. E. from France ; and Cothren
BAT BAX 141
enlarges the extrav. of it by transfer of the circumst. imagin. to his s.
John. In the will of John Luson, a neighb. of Battelle, John and Mary
B. were kind, rememb. but he gave the larger part of his prop, (having
no near relative this side of Eng.) to their f. spelt by the testator, Battely.

rem. to Salem vill. now Danvers, there was a preach, but neither Bent-
ley s Hist, nor Felt s Ann. of Salem (the best places to seek for such in-
format.) tells us whether he was ever ord. yet it is safely infer, that he
was not, for the latter writer instr. us, that in Apr. 1680, a commit, was

Milford, br. of the preced. is altogether barren of any informat. in fam.
tradit. but of JOHN, Milford, the other br. of the preced. that source of
intellig. is more bountif. He was a man of import., had two ws. but wh.
was first may need investigat. One, perhaps the earlier, had been by
name of Hannah Hawley m. to John Ufford, ot Offit, and at her desire
divorc. By her he had sev. ch. and by Abigail, d. of Richard Holling-
worth, perhaps the sec. had prob. no ch. was capt. in one of the expedit.

freem. of Mass. 7 Dec. 1636, yet in what ch. he was mem. is unkn. and
resort, to conject. I find some reason in favor of Concord. He was in

Conn. rep. 1G45, but in Ilinman, 113, little is told of him. At Yale in
1828 seven gr. of this name are seen.
BEARSE, BEARCE, or BEIRCE, AUSTIN, or AUGUSTINE, Barnstable,

1657 ; and James, late in July 1660. Of this sec. s. as no more is heard,
it is suppos. that he d. young ; but for the nine ds. we know only three
that m., Sarah, in Aug. 1667 to John Ilamlin; Abigail, 12 Apr. 1670

1661. His will of 28 Sept 1660, names w. and four s., Daniel, John,

trib. by the w. to other ch. prob. younger, and unm. of wh. were certain.

the stock, if not even the sole of N. E. b. Had the rec. of that French
ch. been preserv. we should less often be driv. to conject. In the print,
list of taxab. inhab. of B. 1695, publ. by Dearborn in his Boston Notions,
the French names are frequent, spel. strangely ; yet among them may
our Huguenot leather-dress, be misrepresent, as John Bashoon. He bot.

had Ephraim, and Deliverance, tw. b. 1, bapt. 7 June 1640; Strange,

of births has the monstrous assert, of these three, as b. at once ; and
Manasseh,-b. 8, bapt. 12 Oct. 1645. HENRY, Dover, came in the Bless
ing, 1635, aged 18, emb. at London late in July, as I saw in the rec. of
London custom ho. for that yr. so far more prob. than the tradit. giv. by
Coffin in Geneal. Reg. XL 256, of his com. the same yr. in the Angel
Gabriel, wreck, at Pemaquid the mid. of Aug. The Blessing did not
reach Boston bef. Oct. Part of the same story is, that he was from
Hertfordsh. wh. is so near to London, whence sixteen ships brought pas-
seng. to Boston, that we can never believe he would have gone to the
other side of the kingdom, for the voyage of the Angel Gabriel, begin,
at Bristol, 22 June. He m. Ann Frost, had Joshua ; Thomas, b. a.
1657 ; Caleb ; and Henry ; beside d. Mary, wh. m. a White. Coffin adds,
that he liv. to be 110 ; and how gr. this would appear to be exag. we
may better judge, when the time of his d. is ascertain. MANASSEH,
Boston, s. of Alexander, was freem. 1672, and this is all I kn. of him.
THOMAS, Dover, prob. s. of Henry, in Coffin s rep., m. Mary Frost, had
eight ch. of wh. he names Thomas, Joshua, Abigail, Henry, Mary,

BECKFORD, or BICKFORD (more common in early days), GEORGE,
had, in 1666, w. Christian, and serv. Hugh Hancock, as Coffin tells in
Geneal. Reg. VI. 243 ; but of what settlem. he was, we must trust to
conject. for Dover. JOHN, Dover 1647, in 1669 was of that part call.
Oyster riv. now Durham, freem. of Mass. 1671, had s. John, and Joseph.
JOHN, Dover, s. of the preced. by w. Temperance, d. of William Furber

BECKWITH, JOSEPH, Lyme, s. of Matthew, by w. Susanna had Sarah,
b. 14 Apr. 1677 ; and Joseph, 15 Apr. 1679. MATTHEW, New London
1652, Hartford 1658, then a freem., and had first liv. there 1639, rem. to
Branford, there in 1668 was one of the founders of ch., thence to Lyme,
there d. 21 Oct. 1680, aged a. 70, by fall in a dark night down a ledge
of rocks. See Rev. Mr. I^pdstreet s journal in Geneal. Reg. IX. 50.
He had two ds. beside s. Matthew, John, and Joseph. His wid. m. Sam
uel Buckland ; and of the ds. one m. Benjamin Grant ; the other, Robert
152 BED
Gerard ; but the name of either is not seen. MATTHEW, Lyme, s. of

June 1G71, and all were bapt. 10 Sept. foil. Jonah, b. 27 Dec. 1673;
Prudence, 22 Aug. 1G76 ; Eliz. 4 Feb. 1679 ; Ruth, 14 Mar. 1681 ; and
Sarah, 15 Dec. 1684. A sec. w. Eliz. wid. of Peter Pratt, wh. she m.

IEL, Lyme, s. perhaps of Matthew the first, there in 1675, had Nathaniel,
b. 28 May 1679, and was liv. 1690. Of descend, some are still at New
London, Miss Caulkins says, and often call. Becket ; while at Branford
it appears Bickatt. STEPHEN, Norwalk 1654, rem. soon, but came back
after 1671. Perhaps he was that passeng. in the Francis, ment. under
Becket. THOMAS, Roxbury 1650, rem. perhaps to Fairfield, and left
his w. wh. obtain, divorce 1 655.
BEDELL, BEDLE, or BEEDLE, ROBERT, New London 1648, had, per
haps, been at Wethersfield, where Hinman, 164, ranks him among first

presume. ROBERT, Salisbury, s. prob. of the preced. by w. Martha had

BEDFORD, NATHAN, Scarborough, was constable 1665, kept the inn
1675, and d. 1681 by drown. In Southgate s Hist, the strange wildness
of a story, how he was murder, by the venerab. Joshua Scottow, may be
read. He left wid. Ann.
BEDIENT, MORGAN, Hadley, came with his mo. Mary from Staines,
near London, to rec. the est. devis. by her br. John Barnard, and d. bef.
reach, his majority. THOMAS, Hadley, younger br. of the preced. b.

had three ws. and eleven ch. but details are not kn. to me, tho. in Geneal.
Reg. XII. 176, we almost discov. one of the ws. Sice, Reice, Reise, or
ROISE (as if the surname were not suffic. various in spel.), Springfield, m.
1646, Blanch Lewis, had Joseph, b. 1649 ; Samuel, 1651 ; John, 1654;
beside two younger ch. and he was drown, with s. John. SAMUEL,
Springfield, s. of the preced. had two ws. < wh. one was Mary, wid. of

1669, d. young; Rebecca, 8 Dec. 1670 ; Samuel, 26 June 1672 ; and
Mary, again, 1675. Perhaps, as this fam. soon rem. it may, in some
branches, be found Bibby. JAMES, Stratford, m. 19 Dec. 1679, Sarah,
d. of the first Thomas Benedict, had Sarah, b. 13 Nov. 1680 ; and James ;
rem. to Norwalk, thence to Danbury, and may be the same as the fore

THANIEL, New London, youngest br. of the preced. rem. 1670, or earlier,

New London, br. of the preced. m. Agnes, d. of William Keeny, had
also sec. w. Mary. His ch. were Samuel, William, Nathaniel, Thomas,
Jonathan, Agnes, Ann, Susanna, and Mary ; but I am unable to div.
them betw. the ws. yet doubt not, that nearly all were by the first. He
own. the chief part of Plumb Isl. and rem. to it, d. 1712, aged 91, leav.
wid. Of the ds., Agnes m. John Daniels ; Ann m. Thomas Crocker ;

BEECHER, or BEACHER, ISAAC, New Haven, had Isaac, b. 1650;

Hannah, a wid. in her will, 1657, ment. two ch., this Isaac, and William
Potter, s. of her former h. in Eng. In 1685 Isaac sen. Isaac jun. and
Eleazer were proprs. * THOMAS, Charlestown 1630, freem. 6 Nov. 1632,
had been engag. as capt. of the Talbot, 1629, in bring, passeng. to our
country, and next yr. with Winthrop s fleet, when his w. Christian, wh.
had been w. of Thomas Copper of Wapping, near London (wh. left her
a freehold est. at Harwich), came with him, and was of the first ten
mem. of the ch. He was one of the earliest selectmen of the town,
and at the first gen. ct. 14 May 1634, when repr. came, he was one (all
former gen. cts. being inclus. of every freem. of the Col.), and serv. sev.
foil, sessions, made capt. of the castle 1635, and d. 1637. His inv. 29
July of this yr. made by Ralph Sprague, Abram Palmer, and Thomas
154 BEE
Ewer, shows 405. 16s. His wid. became sec. w. of Nicholas Easton,

ham, 80, thinks Dr. Lyman Beecher, Y. C. 1797, a descend, prob. on
recent suggest. But the progenit. of this disting. fam. was Isaac.
BEEDER, perhaps BEEDE, THOMAS, Newport 1639.
BEEFORD, RICHARD, Gloucester 1643, by w. Mary had John, b. 26
Oct. Mary, 26 June, Hannah, 25 Jan. but in either case the rec. gives
not yr. yet allows us to assume that they were all bapt. 1647, and the roll

propr. of this match, in point of age, it was unduly solemniz. as in Winth.

Gen. Ct. Of his weakness as ch. magistr. other strange instances are
relat. by the early hist, of N. E. but the most to be regrett. was his
enmity, at a later day, to the foundat. of the O. S. or 3d ch. of Boston,
that ceas. only with his life. Gov. Coddington of R. I. wh. had been, in
their day of small things, much assoc. with B. in both Bostons, almost
exults at his completion of the measure of his iniquity in distraction,
closing his " Demonstration of True Love " in this emphatic style : " The
hand of the Lord cuts him off, not giving him repentance to life, that other
sons of Belial of his persecuting spirit might be warned, not to put the
evil day far from them." Without sympathy in the triumph of Gov.
C. it is grateful to me to remark, that the unbrok. reign of dismal bigotry
from 1649 to 1672 inclus. under Dudley, Endicot, and Bellingham, hard,
harder, hardest, betw. the mild wisdom of Winth. and the tolerant dignity

Eliz. Savage, wh. is unkn. to me ; and he sent her over to manage his
affairs in this country. In Boston she made her will, Nov. 1697 in wh.

print, with slight addit. from rec. by me ; and in F. s interleav. copy no
correction or enlargement is found. Yet the variance of acco. in Ward

relates the dec. of the wid. does not inform us when the f. d. yet it
magnifies the wonder by mak. as many ds. as s. fourteen in all, and all

1654, of Lancaster, m. at D. 12 Feb. 1658, Mary, whose surname is not
seen in the rec. Perhaps he rem. to New London, where Miss Caulkins
shows a William, in 1667, fined for neglect of train, and very soon after

1672. Of these Mary d. young, and Joseph, prob. bef. his f. Ano. Mary

will, made 16 Nov. 1694, pro. 12 Mar. foil, instructs us as to these ws.
and his ch. wh. were all by the first. As early as 1640 he had been
at Taunton. He preach, near 50 yrs. wrote a Latin epit. on Richard
Mather (whence a presumpt. arises, that he was from Dorchester), \vh.
may be read in the Magnalia of the gr.s. cap. 20 of III. or p. 131.
But the dignity of the subject, the value of the poetry, or even his
serv. in the ch. was less operative, I suppose, in draw, this compli
ment to Bishop, than the pun on his name, for he is made, in that
immortal work, to sign, J. Episcopius. JOHN, Guilford 1639, had w.

His will, of 30 Oct. preced. leav. to Rev. Robert Fordhain a fellow pas-

BITTS, JAMES, Boston, "the Scotchman," to wh. Capt. Keayne, in
Dec. 1 653, by codic. to his will, gave 20s. Perhaps he was a prisoner,
taken in the battle of Dunbar, 3 Sept. 1650, sent over the yr. after to be
sold here (of whose recept. here Cotton wrote to the Ld. General Crom
well in that curious letter, preserv. in the invalu. vol. call. Hutch. Coll.),

Perhaps he liv. some yrs. in Boston, a. 1663 ; andd. there early in 1689,
and from his will of 10 Jan. in that yr. that gives to w. and to his brs.
and neph. and nieces, beside others, but no ch. may safely be infer, that
he left none. Yet he had Hannah, b. 16 Jan. 1659, wh. prob. d. young,

Josiah, 11 Mar. 1700. No full report of the m. of either w. is within

ard, as from his will, 8 Oct. 1692, is learn. I presume he had not many
yrs. liv. here, for he speaks of prop, in Eng. as well as in N. E. wh. he
gives wholly to w. and makes her extrix. so that the s. was prob. young.

In 1644 he was at Dorchester, but this seems slight ground for the tradit.
that he was br. of William the sec. He d. 1695, therefore he was,
I think, too young to be omit, in numb, of s. of the f. tho. William had
br. Richard, b. four yrs. it is said, later than hims. We may well think
that Richard d. young. || WILLIAM, Dorchester, wh. came 1630, in the

William, wh. had been press. 1675, for a soldier in Philip s war, and
enroll, in Moseley s comp. and prob. d. of the hardships of the Narra-
gansett serv. are nam. in his will of 23 June 1703. From this we learn
all the surnames of h s of his ds. Ann, m. 18 Dec. 1676, Thomas Gil
bert, the only one of wh. I learn the date or bapt. name ; however
strange such ignorance may appear. The others are call. Mary Willis,
Experience Carver, and Mehitable Briggs. He was rep. for M. sev.
yrs. His wid. Hannah, wh. certain, was not mo. of the earliest ch. d. 4
Aug. 1729, aged 90. At the N. E. coll. in 1835, Farmer found thirteen
gr. of this name, eleven of them at Harv.
BLAKEMAN, ADAM (as I saw that he wrote at the University, as he
usual, did after, tho. some of his descend, would have it Blackman), b. in

bee. the first min. of Stratford. His ch. exc. Benjamin, were prob. all b. in
Eng. and he d. 7 Sept. 1665 ; and the wid. Jane d. 1673. Lechford, 43,
miscalls him Black well. In the Magn. III. 94, c. 7, Mather exults at
his chance for a pun ; Trumbull tells something; and the ch. rec. of Rox-
bury, a little; but we rejoice in his will of 16 Mar. 1665, as copious in
informat. One d. and five s. Mary, James, Samuel, Benjamin, John,
and Deliverance are ment. in it ; and from later report the last was a
wild youth, wh. gave his mo. much disquiet. His Latin bks. he would
give to Joshua Atwater, s. of his d. Mary, if he were educ. for the min.
tho. first intend, for s. Benjamin, wh. first chose ano. way of life ; yet,
in the end, the gr.s. refus. the legacy, and Benjamin took to learn.
* BENJAMIN, Maiden, youngest s. of the preced. after gr. at coll. 1663,
was preach, at M. and there ord. 1674 ; m. 1 Apr. 1675 (not Sarah, as

the age of his eldest s. as if he were left a minor, beyond the usual

earlier by some computa.) at Scrooby, in Nottinghampsh. at the manor

prob. William, was tenant under liberal lease from archbp. Sandys, and
the s. was educ. some time at Cambridge Univ. and his f. bee. as sub
tenant of Scrooby manor, the possessor of that very resid. of the
Cardinal, and the s. therein worship. God accord, to the simple forms of
the chief protestants of Protestantism. After very honora. serv. with
Davison, seer, of Queen Eliz. he partook in the fall of that statesman,
the conseq. of the Queen s heartless deception and treachery ; and
abandon. 1587, political life. Devot. hims. for many yrs. to relig. he
was the first prorriin. layman wh. reject, conform, to the ceremon. of the
ch. of Eng. He was in the employ m. of the crown, however, as post
master bef. Apr. 1594, at Scrooby, above a doz. yrs. after leav. London ;
there he m. the w. Mary. With his young friend, Bradford, after a doz.
yrs. to be made Gov. of New Plymouth, and others, he pass. a. 1607 or
8, into Holland for enjoym. of worship without the many idle forms, on
wh. King James had set his heart, and was rul. Elder of the ch. at
Leyden of wh. John Robinson was teach, as he had been prob. at
Scrooby. His ds. Patience and Fear, came in the Ann, 1623 ; and on
5 Aug. of next yr. Patience m. Thomas Prence, afterwards the gov. and
d. 1634; and Fear m. 1626, Isaac Allerton, as his sec. w. and d. 1633.

him, never m. He had early rem. to Duxbury, and there, under the
same roof with Love, d. 16 Apr. 1643, after one day s illness. His inv.
has proof in the titles of the books of honora. regard for letters. See
Geneal. Reg. IV. 174. Bradford s Memoir of him is in Young s Chron.
of the Pilgr. 461. See, also, Davis s Morton ; Hunter s First Colonists
of N. E., of wh. the best impres. is in 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 52 ; and
Shurtleff s Recollect, of the Pilgr. in Russell s Guide to Plymouth. It
may be useful to mark the error of so valua. an auth. as Baylies, in IL
6, where he gives to our most glorious of the Mayflower s passeng. three
ch. Lucretia, Mary, and William, and is even so rash as to say, two of
them were b. in America. Yet if b. on our side of the water, he ought
to have presum. they could not, from his age, be ch. of the Elder. The
first was w. others, ch. of Jonathan. WILLIAM, Duxbury, s. of Jonathan,
was prob. b. at Leyden, went in Aug. 1645, under serg. Nash, as
part of the forty men to be furnish, by this smallest Col. to repress the
peril from the Narragansets, and encourage the friendsh. of Uncas [see
Bradford s Hist. 431-6], and serv. in that exped. 17 days, was count,
among the freem. in 1643, and prob. went with his f. to New London.
* WILLIAM, Duxbury, s. of Love, m. 2 Jan. 1673, Lydia, d. of George
Partridge, and d. 3 Nov. 1723. Whether he had ch. is not kn. but he
was in good esteem, and was rep. 1675. WRESTLING, Plymouth,
youngest s. of the gr. Elder, b. prob. at Leyden, in Holland, came with
B R I 247
his f. in the Mayflower, d. " a young man unm." bef. his f. says Gov. Brad
ford, but Caulkins, in Hist, of Norwich, 115, refers to an idle tradit. that
makes him ancest. of Sir Christopher Brewster of our days. Sir
Christopher perhaps may descend from a gr.s. of the Elder, and youngest
s. of Love, wh. rec. this name, prob. sev. yrs. after d. of his uncle. In
a very agreea. Memoir of the " Life and Time of Elder Brewster, by
Rev. Ashbel Steele, Phila. 1857, the author too easi. assum. that this s.
of the great Elder was of Portsmouth 1G29, and built up his case on
three piles of fictitious paper: The first, a forged deed of 6 Dec. 1629
(wh. fell on Sunday), of Id. in Portsmouth, that was not so call. bef.
May 1G53, but always Strawberry Bank, with prob. false grantor and
witnesses, and writ, in language of one hundred and fifty yrs. later use ;
next, a fabricat. fam. rec. whereby it is shown, that Wrestling B. was m.
1630 to E. S. had s. John, b. 20 Jan. 1631, and daur. 3 May 1636,
nam. Love Lucretia ! ! ! and the w. d. in childbed, thirty-eight yrs. after
(perhaps the ch. had it liv. would have seem, to require double name,
and so been bapt. Mephistophiles Beelzebub) ; that E. S. the w. is call,
d. of Augustine Story, one of the illustrious grantees in the more
ambitious forgery of the Wheelwright deed of all New Hampsh. from
the Ind. made also on Sunday in an earlier mo. of the same yr. and little
more than eight yrs. after Wrestling came over the Atlantic, with his f. ;
and the third fountain of evidence is from many, near, all spurious, ac
counts of business transactions, wh. by patient investigat. are found to
be almost wholly fanciful. In his new Ed. Mr. Steele will, no doubt,
correct those childish fictions of the last century. WRESTLING, Dux-
bury, br. of Nathaniel of the same, had, with his br. William, gr. of Ids.
(in honor of the rever. serv. of their gr.f. dec.) at Swanzey, provid. they
went there to liv. ; but I presume neither of them accept, the favor, as
they cont. at D. By w. Mary he had sev. ch. and d. 1 Jan. 1697. He
was constable in 1680, and serv. on jury in 1682 and 4. Ten of this

N. E. coll.
BRIGHT, FRANCIS, Charlestown, s. of Edward of London, bred at
Oxford, matric. of New Coll. 18 Feb. 1625, aged 22, and by famous
John Davenport instr. in divinity, in 1629 came from Rayleigh, in Essex,

He was freem. 6 May 1 635, held in high esteem, deac. and d. 9 Oct.
1686, aged 84. He had elder br. Thomas, of Ipswich, Eng. wh. in his
will, of unkn. date, but pro. 1626, ment. this Henry, sis. Eliz. and other
sis. as minors. That Eliz. wh. was in 1657. wid. Dell of Bow, near
London, gave in her will to this br. 200, and to each of his 7 ch. 10.
all wh. was paid here in 1658 and 9. Large pedigree from the time of
Henry VII. prepar. by Somerby, is giv. by Dr. Bond. This Henry was
for many yrs. call. jr. because HENRY, a poor man of the same name,
liv. at W. was always spok. of as senior, as he might well be, without
our giv. full credit to the rec. of his d. 14 Sept. 1674, aged one hundred
yrs. and upwards, or ano. rec. says a. 109 yrs. But as the amt. of his inv.
was only 2, 9, 6, any affinity is highly improb. JOHN, Watertown, s.

three yrs. to four, he and sixteen more, if Mather may be believ. Magn.

resid. Something different is the version to be seen in the delightful

and went thence to the new town of M. where he was ord. 3 Oct. 1666,

1638, in the Martin, as bef. dep.-gov. Dudley, he swore, in support of a
nuncup. will of a fellow-passeng. dying on the ocean ; was sett, at the
Bapt. ch. 1642 after Roger Williams. It has been thot. by some, that
he was earlier on our side of the water, and that imperfect rec. proves it,
on p. 14 of the Vol. I. of Col. Rec. of R. I. as to his incorp. in town
fellowsh. with others at Providence, wh. bears date 20 Aug. without a yr.
Now the supplying of the numerals for the yr. can admit those wh. the
transcriber used, 1637, by no means ; for that day was Sunday, when no
civil compact could have been enter, into, and bef. that day in the former
yr. the place was kn. as Moshasuck, prob. the sec. use of the designat. of
the mod. city being in the foil. mo. at the bapt. of the s. of Roger Wil
liams, Providence, late in Sept. 1638. Earlier than Aug. 1638 his name,
I suppose, will not be found. He brot. w. Eliz. and s. John, aged a. 8
yrs. prob. other ch. for we kn. not the b. of any of his five s. The other
four were James, Jeremiah, Judah, alias Chad, and Daniel. No connex.
is trac. betw. Chad and Henry, of the oldest proprs. His gr.ch. James
was min. of the same ch. This is the progenit. of the fam. so much

two ch. when the Gov. wrote in 1650. For his first w. conject. assigns
him the wid. Ford wh. had come in the Fortune 1621 ; but, of course, this
must have been after the land div. in 1 624 ; and he, at the div. of cattle,

many he serv. as proprs. elk. Judge Staples remembers him, as seat,
in his doorway within two yrs. of the latest. Gathering at his ho. on the
hundredth birthday, rumor went, that his friends made him dance ; but,
at least, what was then done " shortened his days." I hope not much.

inscript. on gr.stone, as giv. in Cambridge Epit. by wh. his wid. wh. d. 1
June 1693, is said to be aged 80. We may therefore doubt, that here
must be error in that very correct work, as we kn. there is, when it
marks him freem. 1639. This custom ho. date is inconsist. with the
gr.stone ; and no Robert B. is among freem. for many yrs. bef. or after.

Increase Mather in the chart, of 1692, but chos. next yr. by a full vote
of the reps, of the people, and d. 23 Feb. 1716. The benefact. to Harv.
Coll. of this gent, of his f. br. and s. are honorab. commemo. by Quincy
in his great work. One of his s. Samuel was rep. couns. and judge, and

1724, aged 78. Of this name (some with final e, more without it), it
seems impossib. to unravel the whole line and lines. It will be seen,
that I have giv. at least, a fair sample. Thirty-six of the name had, in
1834, been gr. at Harv. alone, and Mr. Farmer says fifty-nine others at
the various coll. of N. E. N. J. and Union of N. York. Of these, eleven
had been clerg. from II. C. and the same number from the others.

at Milford in 1711. This name sometimes ends with , and in Mather s
list of the Conn, magistr. has a final s, but the barbarism of the London

now Brookline, prob. worship, at Roxbury, where Hannah, bapt. 28
June 1646, may have been his d. and have d. young. He was freem.

his will. A John Buckman, perhaps the same name, was of Boston
1673, was prob. gr.ch. of Prudence Wilkinson, and of first William. Of
him, I presume, it is, that Sewall, in his Diary, under 30 Oct. 1696, re
lates, that he had been perfectly dumb for eighteen yrs. and had his speech
restor. It is almost certain that he was the first s. of the first William,
wh. in his will, explain, why he gave him so small a portion was, bee. he
had been infirm from early youth, and was tak. by his gr.mo.

of this name with Burley occurs on the rec. wh. is also giv. in the Coll.
catal. and it is seen, also, Birdley ; yet in mod. times it is, I suppose,
writ. Burleigh.

Esther. These are all nam. as well as w. in his will of 28 June bef. his

JOSHUA, Salem, perhaps br. of the preced. by w. Damaris, d. of Joseph
Pope, had Joseph; was banish. 1659, on pain of d. Prob. the sentence
could not be carr. into eifect, but he went to Eng. and got security against
such monstrous injust. ROBERT, Salem 1638, is said to have come from
Yorksh. in 1634, but perhaps the yr. is too early, as Felt first saw ment.

BUND Y, JOHN, Plymouth 1643, rem. to Boston, by w. Martha had
Martha, b. 2 Nov. 1649 ; and Mary, 5 Oct. 1653. He liv. after, prob.
at Taunton, there his d. Patience d. 27 Mar. 1665 ; and he had James,
29 Dec. 1664; and Sarah, 4 Mar. 1669. His w. d. 1 May 1674; and
Mary m. 5 Jan. preced. unless the better date be 1675. JOHN, Taunton,
s. perhaps, of the preced. m. 9 Jan. 1677, Ruth Surney of Mendham
(unless so strange a name be writ, for Turney), had John, b. 6 Oct. foil. ;
Joseph, 1 Jan. 1680; and Edward, 13 Aug. 1681. SAMUEL, Taunton,
perhaps br. of the preced. had Samuel, b. 4 Oct. 1670.
BUNKER, BENJAMIN, Maiden, s. of George, ord. 9 Dec. 1663, d. 2
Feb. 1670. That he well fill, his post of duty, tho. never m. (as seems
to be essential to the charact. of a N. E. min.) we may be confid. for the
long and lamenta. verses of his senior collea. Michael Wigglesworth,
reveal no tendency to fiction. GEORGE, Charlestown 1634, freem. 4
Mar. 1635, as a support, of Wheelwright, he was disarm. Nov. 1637, yet
in May foil, the Gen. Court made him constable of C. and by the end of
BUNN. 299
a yr. he had gr. from the same power of fifty acres, so we may not doubt,
that he was convinc. of the errors in doctrine that had misled him. By
w. Judith (wh. prob. he brot. from Eng. with his s. John) he had Ben
jamin, bapt. 20 Sept. 1635, II. C. 1G58, bef. ment. ; Jonathan, 8 Apr.
1638 ; and she d. 10 Oct. 1646. For sec. w. he took Margaret, wid. of
deac. Edward Howe of Watertown, and he d. in 1664 or 5, for 4 Oct. of
that latter yr. was pro. his will, made 12 May preced. In latter yrs. he

Martha, and Eliz. surv. Eliz. m. Edward Burt. GEORGE, Ipswich, s.
of William, a Huguenot in Eng. liv. at Topsfield after m. with Jane
Godfrey, and there was drown. 26 May 1658. His wid. gave inv. of
300. 20 June foil. At the date of his d. the ch. were Eliz. aged 12;
William, 10 ; Mary, 6 ; Ann, 4 ; and Martha, 1 and J. His wid. soon
m. Richard Swain, went to Nantucket with those ch. and she d. 31 Oct.
1662, the earliest, in rec. of d. on that isl. Ann m. Joseph Coleman.
JAMES, Dover 1653, had James, and perhaps Joseph, and John, and d.
1698. JOHN, Maiden, eldest s. of George the first, b. in Eng. a. 1632, m. 16
Sept. 1655, Hannah Miller, had Hannah, b. Oct. 1656, d. young; Mary, 29
Dec. 1658 ; John, Jan. 1661, d. in few days ; John, again, May 1662 ; Ed
ward ; and Joseph, Feb. 1666 ; andd. 10 Sept. 1672 ; in his will, made the
same day, names eldest s. John, eldest d. Mary, s. Edward, and Joseph,
and d. Hannah, wh. m. 2 May 1689, as his sec. w. Samuel Newman of
Rehoboth. JOHN, Portsmouth or Dover, s. of James, was one of the
many wh. in 1690, desir. Mass, jurisdict. to be stretch, over N. II.
JONATHAN, Charlestown, s. of George of the same, m. 30 Jan. 1663,
Mary Howard, and d. 2 June 1678, as tells the gr.stone, but rec. says
1677. He prob. had fam. yet not to be found on rec. WILLIAM, Tops-
field, s. of George of the same, was nam. for his gr.f. in Eng. and after d.
of his f. and m. of his mo. again, was carr. by her to Nantucket in 1658,
m. 11 Apr. 1669, Mary, d. of Thomas Macy, founder of that settlem.
had George, b. 22 Apr. 1671 ; John, 23 July 1673; Jonathan, 25 Feb.
1675 ; Peleg, 1 Dec. 1676 ; Jabez, 7 Nov. 1678 ; Thomas, 8 Apr. 1680 ;
and Benjamin, 28 May 1683 ; and d. 1712.
BUNN, or BUNNE, EDWARD, Hull, had, prob. by first w. that d. Eliz.
wh. m. Oct. 1673, Joseph Howe of Boston ; but for sec. w. m. 20 Aug.
1657, Eliz. Mason ; and d. soon after mak^ his will of 14 Apr. 1673, in
wh. he names only w. Eliz. cous. Sarah, James Mason, and Samuel Lee.
He was one of the earliest sett, of Nantasket, his right being ackn. in
1642, bef. it got the name of Hull. MATTHEW, Hull, by w. Esther had
Matthew, b. 9 June 1659; Nathaniel, 23 Mar. 1664; and Esther, 2
Nov. 1665. It has been sometimes thot. that this name was the same as
300 BUN BUR
Binney ; but no evidence appears. The fam. of two syl. was early at
the same town, and it may be, that some ambitious possessor of the
shorter name may have stretch, it.
BUXXILL, BENJAMIN, New Haven, took o. of fidel. 7 Apr. 1657, was,
perhaps, s. of William, and a propr. 1685. WILLIAM, New Haven, an
early inhab. m. Ann, d. of Benjamin Wilmot, wh. in his will of 7 Aug.
1669, speaks of the four ch. of his d. as heirs of pt. of his small est. so
Ihat it may be inf. that both d. and h. were d.
BURBANK, CALEB, Rowley 1691, may have been s. of John. JOHN,
Rowley, freem. 13 May 1640, in his will of 5 Apr. 1681 (as Coffin finds,
Geneal. Reg. VI. 245), names w. Jemima, ch. John, Caleb, and Lydia.
JOHN, Haverhill, perhaps s. of the preced. m. 15 Oct. 1663, Susanna, d.
of Nathaniel Merrill, rem. a. 1680 with sev. ch. to Suffield, where his w.
d. 1690 ; and tho. he had sec. and third w. yet no more ch. The name
in that neighb. is com. JOSEPH, came, 1635, in the Abigail from London,
aged 24, when at the custom ho. it was writ. Borebancke ; but where he
sat down is unkn.
BURBEEN, JOHN, Woburn, a tailor, came from Scotland, it is said, m.
16 Apr. 1660, Sarah Gould, had Mary, b. 2 July 1661 ; John, 9 Aug.
1663; James, 15 May 1668 ; and perhaps no more, for his w. d. 14 May
1670. He d. 8 Jan. 1714. Joseph, and Paul, gr. at H. C. of the yrs.
1731 and 1743, liv. to ad vane, age, yet prob. this name is extinct in N. E.
BURCH, GEORGE, Salem, by w. Eliz. had Mary, b. 30 Nov. 1659, d.
young; Eliz. 4 June 1662; John, 28 May 1664; Mary, again, 26 Sept.

Oct. 1672. JOSEPH, Dorchester 1671.
BURCHALL, NATHAN, New Haven 1643, serv. of Robert Newman,

BURCHAM, EDWARD, Lynn 1636, freem. 14 Mar. 1639, was elk.
of the writs 1645, went home 1656, and I kn. not whether he came back.
His d. Frances m. 8 June 1660, Isaac Willy.
BURCHARD, or BURCHER, EDWARD, Plymouth, came in the Ann,

Birchard.
BURCHSTED, JOHN HENRY, Lynn, a German physician from Silesia,
says Lewis, 134, m. 24 Apr. 1690, Mary, wid. of Nathaniel Kirtland,
had Henry, b. 3 Oct. foil, and d. 20 Sept. 1721, aged 64. The s. foil, the
same profess, but I kn. no more of him.
BURDEN, FRANCIS, Portsmouth, R. I. among freem. 1655. GEORGE,
Boston, shoemaker, came in the Abigail 1635, aged 20, was adm. of the

soon; Eli.sha, bapt. 3 Feb. 1G39 ; Ezekiel, b. 25 Mar. 1G41 ; Joseph,
and Benjamin, tw. b. 21 Apr. 1643, both d. soon, but Joseph was bapt.
30 of that mo.; Hannah, 4 May 1645, "a. 20 days old;" and prob.
others, At Braintree he had lot, 1G39, for five heads, so that he must
have had two serv. or apprent. But he went home with w. and ch. after
mak. his will 15 Oct. 1652, wh. was pro. here 30 Apr. 1657. ROBERT,
Lynn, m. a. 1650, Hannah, d. of William Witter, if we obey the au
thority of Coffin in Geneal. Reg. VI. 245, but both names are wrong
there, Witter means Winter, and Burden stands for Burditt, wh. see.
Greater mistakes may be seen in other copies from early rec. by other
collectors. WILLIAM, Duxbury, or Marshfield, is well seen in Barden.
BURDICK, or BURDICT, BENJAMIN, Westerly, s. of Robert of the
same, in his will of 25 Apr. 1736, names w. Jane, and s. Peter, Benja
min, John, David, William, Elisha, ds. Mary Lewis, and Rachel Sisson.
ROBERT, Newport, made freem. 22 May 1655; rem. to Westerly bef.
1661, m. Ruth, d. of Samuel Hubbard of N. had Robert, Hubbard,
Thomas, Benjamin, and Samuel, beside Naomi, wh. m. Jonathan Rogers ;
Tacy, wh. m. Joseph Maxson ; Ruth, wh. m. John Phillips ; and Deborah,
wh. m. Joseph Crandall ; and d. 1692. THOMAS, Westerly 1680, s. of
Robert. This name is oft. confound, with Burditt.
BURDITT, or BURDETT, GEORGE, Salem 1635, came from Yarmouth,
Co. Norfk. where by pop. elect, he had preach, two yrs. but leav. w. and
childr. at home in distress, was in gr. esteem at S. freem. 2 Sept. 1635,
had gr. of Id. and preach, there near two yrs. and in 1637 or 8, went to
Dover, there had much quarrel, and thence to York, and was forced to
go home at last. Winthrop is large in reprobat. of him, Hubbard is
strong ; and the crim. proceed, of Cts. under Gorges governm. for adul
tery and other charges, make it plain that N. E. was not the right place
for him. ROBERT, Maiden, m. Nov. 1653, Hannah Winter, had Thom
as, b. Sept. 1655; Hannah, Nov. 1656 ; Joseph; Mary; Sarah; and
Ruth, in May 1666 ; and he d. 16 June of next yr. by will of the same
day ment. the w. and ch. and provid. also for ano. unb. THOMAS, Mai
den, eldest s. of the preced. by w. Hannah had Thomas, b. 13 Jan. 1683 ;
Eliz. 19 Aug. 1686, d. young; Eliz. again, 28 Aug. 1688; and by w.
Eliz. had Mary, 25 Dec. 1690 ; and John, 8 May 1693. His w. d. 26
Jan. 1718, aged a. 65, and he d. 20 Jan. 1729, in 74th yr. by gr.stone.
BURDSALL, HENRY, Salem, freem. 2 May 1638.
BURDSIE, the same as Birdseye ; and here I supply some deficiency in
that article. The contr. of m. with Alice, wid. of Henry Tomlinson, to wh.
in his will JOHN B. refers, was of 8 Oct. 1688. He d. a. 1694, aged 74.
By his first w. Philippa he had John, b. at Stratford, Mar. 1641, and Jo-

anna, Nov. 1642. So it is clear, that he rem. from Milford to S. earlier by
some yrs. than Trumbull, in his Hist, suppos. Joanna m. 28 Dec. 1664,
Timothy Wilcockson. JOHN, Stratford, s. of the preced. m. 11 Dec.
1669, d. prob. youngest, of William Wilcockson, had Hannah, b. Feb.
1671; Mary, Nov. 1675; Mary, May 1678, d. next yr. ; Abel, Nov.
1679 ; Joseph, Feb. 1682 ; and Dinah, 1688. He d. 1697, and his wid.
d. 20 Sept, 1743, aged 92. Joseph was f. of Rev. Nathan, wh. was b. 8
Aug. 1714, so that the venerable man was a little older than was said in
my acco. of Birdseye.
BURFEE, EDMUND, Boston, had w. Mary, wh. d. 15 Aug. 1658.
BURGE, GILES, Dorchester 1682. JACOB, Sandwich, s. of Thomas

Oct. 1676. JOHN, Chelmsford, m. 9 June 1662, Mary, wid. of Isaac
Larned, eldest d. of Isaac Stearns, as Allen, Hist, of C. 169, tells; and

Thomas, Joseph, Samuel, Jacob, Martha, and four other ds. JOSEPH,
Sandwich, br. prob. youngest, .of the preced. had Rebecca, b. 17 Jan.
1667; Dorothy, 12 Nov. 1670, wh. d. prob. at 16 yrs.; Joseph, 18 Nov.
1673; and Benjamin, 5 May 1681. * THOMAS, Lynn, rem. 1637, to
Sandwich, with fam. there may have add. to the ch. carr. with him only
Joseph, and perhaps Jacob. He was of the chief men, rep. 1646 and
after; d. 27 Feb. 1685, presum. to be 82 yrs. old. His d. Eliz. m. 12
Feb. 1652, Ezra Perry. THOMAS, Sandwich, s. prob. eldest, of the

BURGESS, or BURGISS, sometimes BURGES, ABRAHAM, took pass. 11
Apr. 1679 in the William and John from London for N. E. but whether
he ever reach, our shore, or what bee. of him, is unkn. FRANCIS, Bos
ton, by w. Joyce had Benjamin, b. 11 Oct. 1654. One Francis, possib.
his s. was of Moseley s comp. in the campaign of Dec. 1675. JAMES,
Boston, came, prob. in the Hopewell, capt. Bundocke, from London

THOMAS, Concord 1660. Of this name, in 1834, gr. at Brown and Yale
have been five, and none at Harv. or Dart, yet two at II. and one at D.
as monosyl. Burge, and no such at Yale. Hon. Tristram, Brown 1796,

the cases of modern turn, of one syl. to two.
BURKBY, THOMAS, Rowley 1643.

Stonington 1654, Warwick 1660, by w. Mary had John, b. 1 Aug. 1664 ;

or ch. exc. that his d. Mary m. 19 Dec. 1689, Amos Stafford, liv. 72 yrs.
with him, had thirteen ch. as is said, was b. six days after him, and d.
at equal distance, aged 97, some part of wh. may be true, but the news
paper that ment. his (Stafford s) d. at 97, makes the wid. 92. Five
yrs. discrepancy in a tradit. is not of high import. See Geneal. Reg.
VIII. 368. THOMAS, Warwick, or Kingstown, s. of Roger, m. Martha,
d. of Moses Lippit, as from wills of her f. and h. is gain, but I profit no
more.
BURLISSON, EDWARD, Suffield 1677, had John, Fearnot, Return,

Thomas, sis. Ann, and Sarah, and cous. Thomas B. JOHN, Reading,
freem. 1691, as were JOSEPH, ROBERT, and THOMAS, all at the same
time, of the same town. ROBERT, Reading, had, I think, been of Rox-
bury, whither he brot. from Eng. Thomas, b. a. 1624, and Richard, 1627,
304 BUR
both, perhaps, liv. 1682. But the name in rec. of Roxbury, when he lost
an inf. ch. 18 Nov. 1642, is Burnet, tho. it appears not again. The w.
was there Margaret Davis; but by w. Ann at Reading he had Sarah, b.
5 Nov. 1653; Robert, 28 Feb. 1658; and Mary, 17 June 1661; and
this w. d. eight days after, and he took ano. w. 28 May 1662, Sarah . .
BURNELL, JOHN, Salem 1665. ^ROBERT. Lynn 1690. SAMUEL,
Boston 1676, s. of William of the sameJ TOBIAS, ^Portsmouth, came
from Alphington, Co. Devon, went in Sept. 1673, to Barbados, and d.
soon. WILLIAM, Boston, had John, Samuel, and Sarah, and the dispos.
of his est. at Pulling Point, appears in his will of 16 Apr. 1660, abstr.
in Geneal. Reg. IX. 230, and it is curious to collate this witli an earlier
will of 5 Mar. of the same yr. in Geneal. Reg. X. 270, brot out by the
exempl. dilig. of Mr. Trask. Both have refresh, evid. of his dread
of Quakers. Yet a scruple is felt whether that will of Mar. were
not a later draft ; if the legal reckon, of the yr. be foil, it must be
so thot. and it was incomplete for want of witness. Hard is it, often to
disting. this name from Burnett.

BURR, BENJAMIN, Hartford, an early sett, had two s. Samuel, the
elder (made freem. with his f. 1658), and Thomas, b. 26 Jan. 1646, and

Clark, and Hannah, wh. m. Andrew Hillier, all liv. at the time of his d.

DANIEL, Fairfield, freem. 1668, s. of Jehu the first, had m. 11 Dec.
1678, Abigail, d. of Henry Glover of New Haven, and took sec. w. Elinor,

the order of success, in age to concur with the arrangem. at pro. office,
Jehu ; Stephen ; Peter; David ; Moses, Y. C. 1734 ; and Aaron, Y. C.
1735 ; and more confid. can we presume, that sev. of the ds. Hannah,
Mary Wheeler, Eliz. Hull, and Jane Sherwood were b. bef. sev. of the s.
I wish the hs. of the m. ds. could be respectiv. assign. Moses and Aaron
were minors ; and their brs. Stephen and Peter were several, made
guardns. Nine of these ch. had ea. 545. and double that sum was sh.
of the eldest s. The youngest s. Aaron, b. 4 Jan. 1717, was the disting.
good man, presid. of N. J. coll. f. of the more disting. (but not as a good

and for that town, not suppos. to belong to Mass, in 1 638, was rep..at
Hartford; and soon after went to Fairfield, of wh. he was rep. 1641, 5,

read, ancient MS. is well exhibit, in this man s case. Copy from entr. in

life to those rec. fell under the same delusion ; while, to immortalize the
wrong, it is assert, by Trumbull, in Conn. Col. Rec. I. 12. In read, the
sec. and fourth letters of this bapt. name, not one in a thousand experts
would be likely to differ from us, as John appears in the reverse pro
portion to Jehu. Yet from the unusual distinctness of the Roxbury ch.
rec. wh. I have examin. and the concur, later ones at Springfield and
elsewhere, all doubt is dispel. Trumbull, in his Index, correct, the error
of his text ; and the 1853 Ed. of Winthrop s Hist. II. 441, has giv. the

with surv. inhab. he escap. to Bangs s isl. in the harb. whence he wrote

nah (perhaps not the first w.) 27 Apr. 1680, and was invit. Nov. foil, to
preach at Salem vill. now Danvers, and there had Eliz. bapt, 4 June
1682 ; but in a. two yrs. went E. to his former flock, certain, was at F.
1683 ; and it may be fear, that dissatisf. at his leav. Danvers was a
moving cause of his unhappy fate. On the sec. sack, of Casco by the
Ind. 1690, he was again driv. to the W. and preach, at Wells, until a worse
enemy, the gr. adversary, assail, him. He may have for short season
renew, his engagem. at Salem vill. but on 8 May 1692, he was sent to

Aug. at Salem, and by Ct. unduly organiz. condemn, in few days, and

the reader, as he terms it, an acco. of this tr. and execut. at \vh. latter
he assist. In the Ann. of Salem, Felt relates, " after he was hung, C. M.
believ. him to have been justly dealt with, and perceiv. the impression
wh. his last words and appearance had made to the contra, endeav. to
convince the peop. that no wrong had been done." One mo. from that
day, Giles Cory suffer, punishm. on the same preposter. charge as B.
but by the monstr. old common law requirem. was press, to d. for stand,
mute under the indictm. This was the last, as well as the first, instance
of such barbar. inflict. Mather was not, I think, present to witness this
triumph over the devil in the enforc. silence of his victim by the
ministers of the law. Had the sheriff invit. his aid, perhaps he would
have declin. the advantage ; and we can hardly doubt, that the fact of
the other sufferer being a min. and s. of the coll. in wh. the f. of M. then
sat as Presid. exclud. all undue feel, of tenderness in many of the
spectators, especial, in him wh. Calef tells us, rode on a horse to instr.
the witnesses at the solemn scene. Tardy vindicat. in small degr. of this
innoc. was made by the governm. on petitn. of his elder s. Charles,
provis. in 1711, for his heirs. So late as 1774, his Id. at Falmouth,
against wh. the formalit. of forfeit, had not been applied, was sold by

but whose d. or wid. she was, is unkn. WILLIAM, Charlestown, one ,of
capt. Moseley s comp. k. 19 Dec. 1675, in the gr. Narraganset fight.
From the diverse spell, of this man s name, in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 242,
and Drake s Hist, of Boston, 414, where it is giv. Bourle, some puzzle
is rais. but whichever be correct, we kn. that Charlestown had but a
single William on the roster for that campaign, and either form is not
great pervers. Of this name, Farmer counts at N. E. and Union, and
N. J. coll. fifteen gr. in 1834.
BURTON, BONIFACE, Lynn 1630, freem. 6 May 1635, d. 13 June
1669, "being a hundred and fifteen yrs. old," says John Hull s Diary,
print, in the Transact, of the Amer. Antiq. Soc. III. 229, yet liable to a
false construct, of the date. Of course, we doubt, some exaggera. is
here; and in one of Sewall s interleav. Almanacs, that for 1673, two
yrs. are deduct, as in Hutch. I. 269. Nearer to contempo. evid. must be
the Diary, yet his s.-in-law overcame his usual reverence for "father
Hull," and he would riot (with his habitual fondness for finding cases of
BURTON. 315
longev.) have subtract, a week without appar. authority. Had he boldly
struck off a dozen more yrs. skeptics would agree or would rejoice with
him. Yet B. was the oldest man, says Lewis, fondly, wh. ever liv. in
Lynn. This kindly affect, writer, in a generat. nearer to his own, enjoy,
the finding of a black woman of equal age in the same happy town.
Well stricken in yrs. at his com. over, must Burton seem, and prob. he
brot. some fam. or at least had little progeny here ; and careful scrutiny
proves, in many such instances, that peop. past mid. life, after reach,
our shores, grew old very fast. BONIFACE, Boston, perhaps s. perhaps
gr.s. of the preced. d. 1GG7, from whose will, nam. only w. Frances, we
infer, that he left no ch. and kn. that he gave nothing to the centenary,
but that his largest bequest was ten shillings to Increase Mather. It is
possib. that the testator was that very aged Lynn man, and the only one
of so uncom. name. EDWARD, Charlestown 1633, rem. prob. to Hing-

1683, m. 4 Sept. 1684, Eliz. only d. of Gov. Josiah Winslow, and
strange is it, that we kn. so little of him. Prob. he was s. of Thomas,
had for first w. Abigail, jd. of Gov. William Brenton of R. I. and
in 1680 he join, with John Walley, Nathaniel Byfield, and Nathaniel
Oliver, men of large est. and distinct, in puro.h. the Mount Hope est. seat
of the gr. Sachem, Philip, from the Col. of Plymouth, assum. as fruit of
their conq. and sett. Bristol. Next yr. he was made constable at Bos
ton, with Paul Dudley, Adam Winthrop, Edward Raynsford, and Giles
Dyer. THOMAS, Hingham 1G40, m. Margaret, d. of John Otis, had
Hannah, bapt. 30 May 1G41 ; Phebe, 12 May 1644; Ruth, Aug. 1646,

m. William Brenton, and if so, then she was by a former w. prob. b. in
Eng. He was one of the gr. disturbers of our political state, as in
Winth. Hist. II. 262, 302, may be read. Very curious manifesto of our
Gen. Ct. contain, in the glorious Coll. of Hutch. 212, alludes to him as
" an old grocer of London," and his perversity is imput. to " his age and
some other infirmities." This hardly consists with the dignity of a legis
lature ; and had the docum. been prepar. by the Assist, they might have
ascrib. his heretical pravity in so factious desire of religious liberty to
long resid. at Newport after 1639. WILLIAM, Warwick, m. Ann, or
Hannah, d. of Jolm Wicks, had Susanna, wh. m. 11 Dec. 1684, sec.

some yrs. at Milton, went home, and by Calamy, Vol. II. 611, is made

Aug. 1673, he, then in Eng. made deed in considerat. of 160. pd. by
Thomas Holman, the younger br. of his w. of his rights in Id. both in
Dorchester and Milton, tho. perhaps the phrase is varied only by the
ignorance of the grantor, whether the div. of the town of D. since his

early taught the sch. at D. and tradit. (that sometimes delights in improb.)

Older ch. than Sherebiah were Nathaniel and Samuel, yet neither is nam.

eldest, of Benjamin, frcem. 1G82. SAMUEL, Springfield 1G3G, was k. at
Saybrook next yr. prob. by tlie Pequots, as minute, relat. in Winth. I.
198. Very curious is the corncid. seen in Niles, Ind. and Fr. Wars, as
print. 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 279, that ano. Samuel B. of Groton, a.
seventy yrs. later, fell into the hds. of the Ind. but far more strange is
the mistake, in the large Hist, of Boston, 203, of the author s note, mak.
Niles, with wild anachronism, give " the godly young man " k. by the
Pequot, 1G3G, the name of him, wh. two or three generat. later, was tak.
not k. by a differ, tribe. Mr. Drake s devotion to Ind. hist, might excite
wonder at such an error, that can mislead no careful reader, wh. will
instant, perceive the cause of the hallucinat.
BUTTERWORTH, JOHN, Rehoboth 1643, was one of the found, of first
Bapt. ch. 1GG3, in Swanzey. JOHN, Rehoboth, s. perhaps, of the preced.

Oct. 1G77 ; John, 7 May 1G79 ; and Eliz. 15 Jan. 1G83 ; perhaps others.
NATHANIEL, Groton, perhaps only trans, d. 1G82, as Farmer tells.
SAMUEL, perhaps of Weymouth, was adm. freem. 13 May 1640, more
certain, liv. 1645 at Rehoboth. SAMUEL, Rehoboth, wh. may have
been s. of the preced. or of John, of the same, was a soldier of Gallop s
comp. in the sad exped. of Sir William Phips against Quebec, 1690 ;
but it is not kn. whether he outliv. it.

Ann, or Hannah, d. of George Gardner, had John, b. 11 Sept. 1664, d.
next spring ; Jonathan, 2 Nov. 1665, or (by ano. version of the numerals
in rec.) 9 Apr. 1666 ; George, 15 Oct. 1667 ; rem. to Boston, there was
freem. 1673; rem. to Wethersfield, and m. after 1687, Susanna, wid. of
Nathaniel Sandford of Hartford, and d. 14 Jan. 1693. Other ch. he
had, as John, again, Abigail, James, perhaps more, and left large est. at
W. and Boston. THOMAS, Boston, leather-dresser, or glover, came in
the Abigail, from London, 1635, aged 32, with w. Ann, 24, had Thomas,
b. 12 Aug. 1637, bapt. 29 Sept. 1639, as he and w. had that mo. unit,
with our ch.; John, 28, bapt. 29 Feb. 1640; Abigail, 18, bapt. 19 Feb.
1643; and Mehitable, b. 26 Oct. 1651. He was freem. 2 June 1641,

m. 15 Aug. 1660, David Saywell, and, next, m. 1673, Thomas Bingley.
This name in ch. rec. is Buttall, wh. misled Farmer to count two for one,
and is print. Buttels in 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 106. THOMAS, Boston,
s. of the preced. m. 5 Sept. 1660, Mary, d. of Nicholas Baxter, had

Jan. 1669. His wid. m. Joseph Swett.
324 BUT
BUTTON, DANIEL, perhaps of Haverhill, s. of Matthias, may have had
s. Matthias, and was in Lothrop s comp. k. at Bloody brook battle, 18
Sept. 1G75. || JOHN, Boston 1633, a miller, freem. 14 May 1634,
ar. co. 1643, was a miller in Eng. b. a. 1594, disarm, in 1637, as a
favor, of Wheelwright, yet made constable 1640, had w. Grace, wh. d. 9
Mar. 1639. Next yr. he had sec. w. Joan, and a third, in his will of 5
Nov. 1681, is nam. Mary, to wh. he gave most of his prop. exc. 20. to
the first ch. " to buy two silver cups." Near 48 yrs. he had been a
mem. and his resid. was on Copp s hill, of course near his mill. MAT
THIAS, Boston, a Dutchman, by w. Lettice had Mary, bapt. 23 Feb.
1634; and Daniel, 22 Feb. 1635; was of Ipswich 1639, and after at
Haverhill, where at gr. age, he d. 1672. Rev. Thomas Cobbet says, he
came in 1628, of course with Endicott to Salem. But Mr. Felt perhaps
confus. him with Robert. MATTHIAS, Haverhill, perhaps gr.s. of the
preced. took o. of alleg. 28 Nov. 1677. PETER, New London, had
Peter, b. 1688; Mary, 1689; Matthias, 1692; and d. Eliphal, 1694.
ROBERT, Salem, freem. 1642, m. Abigail, d. of wid. Alice Yermaes, had
Samuel, bapt. 27 May of that yr. ; Abigail, 7 Jan. 1644; Hannah, 21
Dec. 1645, a. five days old ; Sarah, 16 Jan. 1648, a. six days old; and
Samuel, again, 24 Feb. 1650, a. nine days old. But the three last were
b. and bapt. at Boston, where he was a merch. in large business, con
stable 1650, and d. next yr. in early manhood. His will of 9 Jan. was
pro. 3 weeks after, and his wid. m. in Apr. foil. Edward Hutchinson, jr.
Abigail m. Joseph Dudson.
BUTTRICK, SAMUEL, Concord, s. of William, was freem. 1679, and
perhaps the same wh. serv. in Appleton s comp. as from Cambridge, was
wound, in the gr. swamp fight, 19 Dec. 1675, and on the roll wrote his
name Bouterick. WILLIAM, Concord, came, prob. in the Susan and
Ellen 1635, aged 18, and he may have come, as Shattuck thot. with
Flint, the chief planter of C. as we kn. not what sh. F. came in ; yet
the est. of F. was so large, that he must have been liable as a subsidy
man, so under the Privy council s order not permit, to emb. without
special license for the purpose, and to him, as a favorer of puritans, such
license might have been refus. B. m. 1646, Sarah Bateman, wh. d.
1664, perhaps mo. of all his ch. Mary; William; John, b. 21 Sept.
1653, wh. was inhab. of Stow ; Samuel, 12 Jan. 1655 ; Edward, 6 Jan.
1657, wh. d. in few days ; Joseph, 29 Dec. 1657 ; and Sarah. I suppose
that in Concord rec. when it tells the b. of Mary, 19 Sept. 1648, and d.
1 Nov. foil, and calls her d. of William and Mary, it is a blunder. He
was freem. 1647, took sec. w. 1667, Jane Goodenow, possib. wid. of
Thomas, wrote his name in three syllab. Butterick, and d. 30 June 1698.
WILLIAM, Cambridge, came in the Planter 1635, aged 20, said to be
BUT BYF 325
from Kingston, on Thames, call, ostler ; but it may have been for purpose
of deception. He m. I think, Eliz. cl. of John Hastings.
BUTTRY, or BUTTERY, JOHN, Reading, perhaps s. of Nicholas, had
John, b. 9 May 1660 ; and Eliz. 1 June 1662. NICHOLAS, Cambridge,
came, prob. in the James from London 1635, aged 33, with w. Martha,
28, and ch. Grace, 1. This surname is unusual; but when Grace m.
14 Oct. 1653, William Healey, it was spell. Butterice, or Buttress.

Anthony, by w. Esther had Eliz. b. 17 Nov. 1689 ; Samuel, 2 May
1691 ; James, 2 Mar. 1693 ; John, 25 Feb. 1696; not all at S. however;
and at Ipswich, by w. Eliz. the same man, or his neph. perhaps, had
Joseph, 28 May 1709 ; Abigail, 27 Jan. 1712; and Rachel, 1 May 1714.

his com. to our country, is equal, unkn. There was a report, that he

Safety 1635. Much idle conject. has been expend, on the reason of his

absurd is, that he was a regicide. Perhaps he was only a misanthrop.
humorist, perhaps had been a buccanier, and thot. seclusion his safest
course. See Hinman. He built, 1689, the first ho. in the town, left ch.
in Eng. as his will, 5 May 1696, shows. In it he gave Id. for a sch.
