CLOSING    ADDRESS. 


THE  task,  that,  near  twenty  years  since,  was  assumed  by 
me,  is  now  ended ;  and  no  regret  is  felt  for  the  time  devoted  to 
it.  Pleasure  and  duty  have  been  equally  combined.  In  the 
result  some  exultation  might  be  felt,  if  success  rewarded  dili 
gence,  and  proficiency  had  always  followed  patience ;  but  in 
parts  of  so  wide  a  range  around  genealogy,  as  this  of  New  Eng 
land,  frequent  failures  ought  to  be  anticipated,  since  the  tri 
umphs  even  within  the  narrow  space  traversed,  in  their  long 
campaigns,  by  Bond  or  Shattuck,  Judd  or  Goodwin,  proved 
imperfect.  Gleaners  may  find  reward  in  following  even  their 
footsteps. 

For  a  partial  indication  of  the  ample  assistance  from  modern 
copious  correspondence,  a  reference  to  my  preface  in  Vol.  I. 
may  seem  sufficient ;  yet  it  appears  requisite,  in  this  valedictory 
obeisance  to  subscribers,  to  desire  their  forgiveness  for  the  awk 
wardness  they  may  discover,  that  among  the  ten  or  twelve 
thousand  items  of  improvement  in  or  increase  upon  the  first 
text,  as  herein  set  forth,  not  a  few  hundred  additions  to  additions 
with  a  score  or  two  of  corrections  for  corrections  are  inter 
spersed.  Of  such  materials  the  History  of  Watertown  has 
subjoined  303  pages  to  its  first  672;  and  parallel  to  such  over 
flow  might  always  be  expected  in  a  larger  work,  though  not  in 
exact  proportion  to  its  size.  To  exhaust  the  vocabulary  of  a 
civilized  nation  in  a  living  tongue  would  appear  impossible,  for 
we  all  know,  that  new  streams  are  constantly  flowing  into  it 
from  sources  before  unknown  ;  and  similar  supplies,  by  analogy, 
in  a  dictionary  to  set  forth  the  origin  of  our  families  subsisting 
one  hundred  and  seventy  years  ago,  may  naturally  arise.  Una-

voidable  omissions  in  these  two  thousand  five  hundred  closely 
marshalled  pages  ought,  therefore,  to  be  expected  ;  but  if  neither 
residence  nor  time  were  given,  no  right  to  a  place  for  a  new 
surname  on  my  page  would  be  yielded,  though  popular  opinion 
traced  the  pretender  to  a  Plantagenet,  or  his  veins  swelled  with 
all  the  blood  of  all  the  Howards.  Half  a  million,  I  presume,  of 
those  incidents  may  be  found  in  this  work.  Blanks,  not  above 
two  or  three  in  the  thousand,  I  believe,  may  remain  in  the  myr 
iads  of  names  of  family  or  baptism,  and,  I  hope,  the  erroneous 
may  only  slightly  outnumber  the  deficient. 

Some  notes  of  events  and  of  men  have  been  lost,  probably, 
though  only  a  single  instance,  but  of  half  a  line,  occurs  to  my 
recollection,  and  this  is  more  cause  of  sorrow,  than  surprise, 
when  T  remember  how  many  hundred  have  been  written  twice, 
thrice,  and  even  four  times  over.  To  a  few,  who  consult  these 
volumes,  such  vacancies  may  give  no  disquiet,  as  thereby  room 
was  gained  for  a  little  general  biography  or  historical  criticism 
in  place  of  the  multitudinous  ocean  of  numerals,  or  names  as 
little  discriminated  as  fortemque  Gyan,  fortemque  Cloanthum. 
But  never  was  such  occasion  made,  however  easily  found  by 
one  who  will  feel  pleasant  surprise  at  a  rare  deviation  from 
predominant  dulness.  I  have  dared  to  express,  in  a  very  few 
instances,  my  sense  of  the  need  of  correction  in  old  contempo 
rary  statements  of  history,  either  public  or  private,  and  more 
gladly  to  detect  the  modern  adoption  of  idle  traditions  that 
kept  long  out  of  sight,  when  their  small  value  would  not  have 
;saved,  the  perpetuation  of  trifling  fictions. 

May  not  some  degree  of  favor  be  extended  to  my  departure 
from  the  narrow  circle  of  universal  genealogy  to  snatch  a  few 
additional  lines  for  some  and  sentences  for  others  bearing  prom 
inent  names  like  Bellingham,  Burrows,  Chauncey,  Clark,  Da 
venport,  Dudley,  Eaton,  Endicott,  Goflfe,  Hoar,  Hopkins,  Hull, 
Jackson,  Johnson,  Leverett,  Mather,  Osgood,  Paddy,  Parker, 
Phips,  Pratt,  Rogers,  Saltonstall,  Scroop,  Sherman,  Smith, 
'Temple,  Welde,  Whalley,  Wigglesworth,  Williams,  Wilson, 
and  Winthrop. 

The  prosecution  of  this  work  has  continued  without  inter 
ruption  in  this  long  course  of  years,  except  twice,  in  both  cases 
from  illness,  first,  short  but  severe,  more  than  fourteen  years

ago,  next,  lighter  and  longer,  less  than  four  years  since  ;  yet 
from  the  time  printing  of  the  volumes  began,  Dec.  1858,  no 
day  has  passed  without  progress,  except  the  legal  holidays. 
By  the  majority  who  in  careless  hours  may  turn  over  these 
columns,  the  scrupulous  diligence  of  the  printer  will  justly  be 
more  observed  than  the  research  of  the  author,  who  should  feel 
sufficient  reward,  if  his  countrymen  acknowledge  they  have  no 
further  claim  to  use  of  his  pen  after  the  owner's  reaching  so 
near  the  age  of  fourscore.  Still  my  rejoicing  should  be  rather, 
that  my  service  is  finished,  than  that  I  have  no  more  to  do. 

No  slight  vexation  arose  from  defeat  of  my  utmost  vigilance 
in  gathering  the  desired  additions  to  this  immense  array  of 
names,  collected  while  the  volumes  have  been  passing  under 
the  press ;  but  it  was  soothed  by  reflecting  how  many  would 
show  no  regard  to  the  defect,  and  better  still  how  liberal  would 
be  the  allowance  of  the  few  that  duly  weighed  the  excuse  by 
making  the  suffering  their  own.  I  desire  the  reader  in

By  uncert.  tradit.  he  is  giv.  two  other  ws.  one  said  to  be  d.  of  the  Earl 
of  Delavvarr,  for  wh.  in  Collins's  Peerage  no  support  can  be  seen,  and 
the  other,  less  improb.  Martha  Wilford ;  but  no  ch.  is  ascrib.  to  either. 
He  was,  with  s.  Henry,  in  Holland  1644,  perhaps  min.  to  the  States,  and 
there  was  paint,  the  likeness  of  wh.  engrav.  is  seen  in  the  sec.  vol.  of

as  told  in  the  anecdote  relat.  of  Rev.  John  Cotton  in  note  to  Hutch.  I. 
94.  For  many  yrs.  he  was  not  chos.  Assist,  but  in  1664  in  hope  of

had  been  aft.  in  the  country,  bee.  in  1672  he  gave  £50.  to  relief  of 
Goffe  and  Whalley,  the  regicides.  In  1680,  however,  he  was  once  more

gr.d.  of  Sir  Richard  S."  Now  beside  that  this  gr.d.  of  Sir  Richard  S. 
had  no  sis.  here  to  write  unto,  the  tale  is  false  in  the  most  vital  pt.  as 
usual,  for  she,  being  w.  of  his  uncle,  not  of  his  f.  could  transmit  no  blood 
to  the  Lord  High  Treasurer.  ||  ROBERT,  Watertown,  br.  of  the  preced.

his  own  confess,  is  seen  in  the  rec.  of  his  trial  at  Hartford.  For  the 
soundness  of  the  maxim  in  common  law,  malitia  supplet  setatem,  I  believe, 
no  stronger  proof  can  be  found,  since  the  creation,  in  the  stories  of  juven. 
depravity.  He  acknowl.  that  he  k.  his  br.  with  a  hatchet  "  bee.  he  cried,

RICHARD,  by  Farmer  call,  of  Boston,  the  freem.  of  1674,  I  dare  not

Kersey,  adj.  Groton,  where  W.  was  patron  as  well  as  lord  of  the  manor. 
He  was  s.  of  John,  by  Bridget  Clopton,  sis.  of  the  sec.  w.  of  our  Gov. 
W.  By  Whitman  he  is  count,  a  memb.  of  the  ar.  co.  1639;  but  it 
seems  far  more  prob.  (as  we  never  hear  of  him  aft.)  that  he  was  some 
yrs.  gone  home.  ROGER,  Ipswich  1654.  STEPHEN,  Duxbury,  s.  of

Weld,  of  capt.  John  Johnson,  and  of  Joseph  Weld,  a.  1640,  to  amount,

SANKEYS,  *  ROBERT,  Saco,  came  in  the  Increase  from  London,  Apr. 
1635,  aged  30,  sent  by  Robert  Cordell,  a  goldsmith  of  Lombard  street, 
says  the  rec.  at  custom-ho.  appears  as  a  witness  with  Cleves  and 
Tucker,  to  the  import,  deed  of  30  Mar.  preced.  from  Richard  Vines, 
agent  of  Sir  Ferdinando  Gorges,  to  Arthur  Mackworth.  Mr.  Willis,  in 
Hist,  of  Portland,  I.  32,  recit.  the  docum.  makes  it  1635,  as  "in  the 
eleventh  yr.  of  Charles,"  keeping  in  mind,  that  the  tenth  yr.  of  that 
reign  end.  27  Mar.  1635,  of  course  three  days  later  was  within  the 
eleventh.  Now  this  witness  was  then  in  London,  and  so,  I  suppose,  tho. 
dated  in  1635,  the  indent,  was  not  actually  deliver,  for  some  months  aft. 
Possib.  eleventh  may  be  error  of  the  instrum.  for  twelfth.  But  I  leave 
the  solution  to  the  perspicacity  of  so  good  a  judge.  He  was  appoint,  by 
Gorges,  in  1640,  Provost  Marshal,  and  sat  in  the  first  Gen.  Ct.  of  that 
Province,  with  other  dignitaries,  25  June  of  that  yr.  "Willis,  I.  47.  Of

1638,  lov.  the  pioneer's  life  so  much,  Coffin  says,  as  to  help  build  Ames-

suppos.  to  have  gone  home,  but  he  was  never  ord.  acting  only  as  lay 
preach.  This  William  had  long  puzzled  me  much,  but  my  final  infer,  was 
that  he  rem.  to  Barnstable,  where  a  will  of  one  William,  9  Mar.  1680,

fusion  a.  this  name  exists,  and  it  may  not  be  wholly  dissipat.  by  reducing 
two  Georges  to  one.  JAMES,  Haverhill,  took  the  o.  of  alleg.  1677.  JOHN,

note,  that  one  of  the  name  came  in  the  Confidence  of  London,  aged  25, 
husbandman  of  Longford,  also  in  Co.  Wilts,  with  w.  Sarah,  emb.  at

1640.  JOHN,  Braintree,  s.  of  William  the  first,  may  have  been  at 
Woburn,  when  freem.  1684.  His  will,  of  8  Nov.  1687,  pro.  2  Feb. 
1691,  names  w.  Mehitable,  s.  John,  and  Mehitable.  SAMUEL,  Woburn, 
perhaps  br.  of  the  preced.  freem.  1684,  yet  it  may  be  prob.  that  neither

to  conject.  that  the  last  nam.  alone  was  by  the  Quincy  w.  wh.  outliv.  him

SAVORY,  SAVORIE,  or  SAVARY,  ANTHONY,  Dartmouth  1686,  then  a 
townsman,  may  not  be  the  one  by  Farmer  said  to  come,  1640,  from 
Slade,  in  Devonshire,  with  Thomas  S.  Yet  no  such  place  was  found 
by  me.  But  if  Thomas  be  he  so  unfavo.  ment.  in  our  Col.  Rec.  I.  248,

1690,  we  gain  the  names  of  all,  Edmund;  Samuel,  b.  16GO  ;  Jona 
than  ;  George ;  David  ;  Robert ;  Joseph ;  Eliz.  Davis  ;  and  Hannah,  w. 
of  John  Brunson  ;  yet  we  shall  not  be  justif.  in  suppos.  this  to  be  the 
order  of  success,  exc.  that  the  two  s.  last  nam.  were  by  sec.  w.  nor  will 
conject.  be  reasona.  to  determine  the  priority  of  the  d.  whose  h.'s  name 
is  not  seen.  Positive  informat.  however,  is  afford,  on  two  points,  that  he 
was  an  orig.  propr.  of  Water-bury,  and  there  d.  1691.  EDMUND,  Water- 
bury,  s.  of  the  preced.  by  w.  who  d.  17  Jan.  1749,  had  a  s.^b.  Oct.  1690,

WARD,  ask.  for  gr.  at  New  London  1651,  yet  did  not  impr.  it,  when  giv. 
not  however  tempt,  towards  Hadley,  where  he  first  is  heard  of  as  serv. 
of  Joseph  Kellogg  1662,  and  where  was  ano.  EDWARD,  wh.  was  he 
prob.  that  m.  1670,  Eliz.  Webster,  perhaps  d.  of  Gov.  John,  had  Eliz.

two  days  aft.  aged  40  ;  and  he  rem.  perhaps  to  New  Haven,  where  one 
Edward  was  excus.  in  1703  from  train,  in  the  milit.  so  leav.  us  to  infer, 
that  he  was  over  60  yrs.  of  age.  GEORGE,  New  .Haven,  a  gunsmith, 
in  1690,  had  not,  nor  any  other  of  this  furname,  been  propr.  1685*

a  k,  and  JOHN,  the  freem.  of  10  May  1643,  aft.  many  hours  of  very  dilig. 
scrutiny,  elude  my  skill  in  search,  for  the  resid.  of  either ;  but  strong 
reasons  lead  me  to  believe  that  neither  of  them  was  of  the  three  foil.. 
JOHN,  Salem,  1648,  serv.  of  Lawrence  Southwick,  the  Quaker,  may  have 
gone  to  Providence,  and  by  w.  Rebecca  there  had  Sarah,  b.  29  Sept.

Goodrich,  as  Hinman,  232,  tells  ;  yet  it  is  more  prob.  that  there  was  no 
such  Nathaniel  S.  and  that  the  testator's  name  was  Crampton.  THOM 
AS,  Guilford,  s.  of  the  first  John,  was  propos.  for  freem.  1676,  and  next 
yr.  accept.;  had  two  ws.  first,  Deborah  Thompson,  wid.  of  Ebenezer, 
and  sec.  Eliz.  Goodrich ;  but  had  only  two  ch.  that  grew  up  to  mature 
life,  Samuel,  and  Hannah. 

SCRIBNER,  or  SCRIVENER,  BENJAMIN,  Norwalk,  m.  5  Mar.  1680,

SCRIVEN,  SCREVEN,  SCRIEVEN,  or  SCRIVINE,  JOHN,  Dover  1662,  d.

found,  of  a  Bapt.  ch.  there  1682,  in  wh.  he  was  teacher,  but  aft.  some 
yrs.  went  to  South  Carolina,  and  d.  1713,  aged,  as  is  said,  84. 

SCROOP,  ADRIAN,  Hartford,  witness  to  execut.  of  a  deed  of  31  Mar. 
1665,  and  again,  8  May  1667  sign,  as  witness,  his  name,  in  a  very  elegant 
hand,  to  deed  of  Simon  Wolcott  to  Richard  Loud  of  three  parcels  of  Id. 
wh.  was  put  on  rec.  3  days  aft.  yet  no  more  is  ever  told  of  him.  Curi 
osity  to  a  high  pitch  naturally  is  felt  on  two  points  in  this  case,  when 
did  he  come  to  our  country,  and  what  did  he  do  aft.  sign,  that  rare 
name.  One  Adrian  Scrope,  we  kn.  had  been  execut.  in  London,  17 
Oct.  1660,  for  hav.  sat  on  the  pretend,  trial  of  k.  Charles  I.  and  sign, 
the  warrant  for  his  d.  In  Noble's  Regicides  the  rep.  of  his  trial  is  very 
full,  much  more  than  most  of  the  others.  Strong  prob.  from  union  of 
such  giv.  name  and  surname  arises,  that  this  man  was  s.  or  near  relat.  of 
the  regicide  ;  and  Dr.  Stiles,  in  the  latter  part  of  his  extraord.  book 
relative  to  the  three  judges,  that  found  shelter  at  New  Haven,  appeals  to 
proof  from  hd.writ.  in  the  fac-simile  of  the  death  warrant  of  Charles  and 
the  rec.  of  this  deed  at  Hartford,  for,  strange  as  it  seems,  the  attestation 
of  the  deed  is  by  the  witnesses  on  the  rec.  itself  as  well  as  on  the  docum. 
The  Doctor's  eye  saw  more  than  mine,  and  he  appears  almost  satisf.  with 
the  identity  of  the  writing,  as  if  Col.  Scrope  were  in  person  at  H.  six 
yrs.  and  a  half  aft.  his  head  was  cut  off.  Between  29  Jan.  1649,  when 
he  affix,  his  hd.  and  seal  to  that  writ,  order,  the  subord.  officer  at  such  an 
hour  next  day  to  put  the  k.  to  d.  and  this  Hartford  act  8  Mar.  1667,  I 
would  not  affirm,  that  Col.  Scrope's  writing  could  not  vary  much,  had  not 
the  solemn  execution  of  the  17  Oct.  1660  interven.  Stiles  was  a  man 
of  wonderful  capacity  of  belief,  and  the  estimate  of  his  judgment  in 
this  matter  is  reduced  by  a  mistake  of  the  name  of  the  other  witness  in 
this  very  docum.  writ.  Reeve,  but  by  the  President  made  Robert  Pierce. 
Beside,  the  difference  of  names  between  the  London  sufferer,  wh.  used 
but  one  o,  and  our  Hartford  witness  that  doubled  the  letter,  is  not  ment. 

SCRUGGS,  *  THOMAS,  Salem,  came  with  the  few  companions  of  Endi- 
cott  in  the  Abigail,  1628,  says  Felt,  yet  this  relies  solely  on  tradit.  and 
might  seem  too  early,  for  he  did  not  take  o.  of  freem.  until  2  Sept.  1635 ; 
but  he  was  esteem,  eno.  to  be  chos.  to  three  Gen.  Cts.  next  yr.  also 
authoriz.  with  others  to  hold  special  Ct.  for  the  .vicinage,  and  was  a 
selectman.  But  for  his  heretic,  pravity  he  was  next  yr.  supersed.  and 
in  Nov.  disarm,  as  a  danger,  man,  like  the  majority  of  Boston  ch. 
I  suppose  he  had  w.  Margery,  and  that  he  d.  early  in  1652;  and  that 
Felt  mistook  his  name  as  if  it  were  William ;  and  that,  as  the  wid.  gave 
up  to  her  s.-in-law  John  Raymond  in  June  1652  her  est.  in  dower,  she 
may  have  gone  home,  or  perhaps  was  the  woman  that  d.  26  Jan.  1663.

John,  and  Ebenezer,  wh.  was  drown.  1669.  He  was  adm.  freera.  of 
Conn.  May  1657,  and  may  have  been  of  Stonington,  for  a  goodw.  S.  is 
ment.  in  1668,  as  adher.  of  the  jurisdict.  of  R.  I.  and  the  Conn.  (Stoning 
ton)  freem.  of  1669  has  not  his  name.  His  w.  Eliz.  was  indict.  1663

Moody  of  Hartford  gave  £25.,  and  it  may  be  suppos.  therefore,  that  the

^  *  ||  SEDGWICK,  ROBERT,  Charlestown  1636,  prob.  came  1635  in  the 
Truelove,  aged  24,  tho.  in  the  custom-ho.  rec.  the  name  appears  Jo.  inst. 
of  Ro.  join,  the  ch.  with  w.  Joanna,  on  27  Feb.  1637,  and  was  made 
freem.  9  Mar.  foil,  when  he  was  appoint,  capt.  for  the  town  by  our  Ct. 
and  chos.  next  mo.  rep.  and  aft.  for  sixteen  Cts.  more.  His  neighb. 
capt.  Edward  Johnson,  in  Wonder  work.  Provicl.  c.  26  of  book  ii.,  the 
most  valua.  of  that  curious  vol.  assures  us,  that  he  was  "  nurst  up  in 
London's  Artil.  garden  ;  "  and  our  rec.  show,  that  he  was  one  of  the 
found,  of  our  art.  co.  1638,  its  capt.  1640,  command,  of  the  castle  1641, 
head  of  the  regim.  of  Middlesex  1643,  and  last,  maj.-gen.  of  the  Col. 
soon  aft.  call,  by  O.  Cromwell  to  milit.  serv.  with  John  Leverett  (aft.  our 
Gov<)  for  his  sec.  and  bef.  long  time  sent  to  Jamaica,  recent,  conquer. 
There  he  d.  24  May  1656.  Joanna,  the  Gen.'s  wid.  was  liv.  1667  at 
Stepney,  near  London.  By  her  he  had  Samuel,  bapt.  31  Mar.  1639; 
and  Hannah,  14  Mar.  1641;  beside  William,  and  Robert,  wh.  prob. 
were  his  ch.  and  Sarah,  b.  certain,  in  Eng.  as  may  have  been  these  s. 
Certainty  is  beyond  our  reach,  bee.  the  rec.  of  town  is  imperfect,  and  the 
ch.  rec.  of  bapt.  from  20  Sept.  1642  to  4  July  1658  is  a  total,  sad  blank 
space.  Our  Charlestown  soldier,  in  letters  of  Nov.  1655,  pray,  leave  to 
come  from  Jamaica  to  London,  recommends  his  w.  and  five  ch.  to  the 
kindness  of  the  Lord  Protector,  and  we  have  only  to  regret,  that  his 
pathetic  appeal  was  disregard.  Frothingham,  135-9,  is  copious  and 
correct.  Sarah  bee.  sec.  w.  of  Gov.  Leverett.  Whether  she  were  sis. 
or  d.  might  be  disput.  and  this  point  that  Mather  ought  to  have  elucidat. 
is  confus.  by  him.  Yet  high  is  the  prob.  if  her  d.  2  Jan.  1705  is  accomp. 
with  correct  statem.  that  she  was  74  yrs.  old,  that  she  was  b.  in  Eng. 
and  was  eldest  ch.  of  the  disting.  soldier.  ROBERT,  Charlestown,  s.  of 
the  preced.  as  confident,  is  presum.  b.  prob.  in  Eng.  by  w.  Sarah  had 
William,  b.  9  June  1676;  and  Sarah,  19  Dec.  1677.  He  d.  on  a 
return  voyage  from  Jamaica,  leav.  trifl.  est.  of  wh.  admin,  was  giv.  to 
his  wid.  Sarah,  26  Apr.  1683.  SAMUEL,  br.  of  the  preced.  was  of 
Charlestown  not  long,  but  chief,  liv.  at  London,  had  w.  Eliz.  prob.  hoped 
to  obt.  some  reward  for  serv.  of  his  f.  but  long  bef.  his  m.  he  was  witness 
to  the  will,  17  June  1657,  of  Jonathan  Wade  of  our  Ipswich,  then  at  L. 
and  it  is  curious,  that  his  signature  was  pro.  in  Eng.  by  his  wid.  1  Dec. 
1683,  then  aged  only  33  yrs.  and  she  says  he  was  her  h.  six  yrs.

Shacksbee  is  the  name  on  town  rec.  as  Mr.  Judd  assur.  me,  and  he  is

Treasr.  of  the  Province  of  Maine  1649,  capt.  in  1653,  major  in  1656, 
supersed.  in  1663  by  William  Phillips,  being  in  1662  a  magistr.  next  to 
the  right  worshipf.  Henry  Josselyn.  He  had  w.  Alice,  no  ch.  went  home 
prob.  seven  yrs.  later,  and  liv.  long,  yet  came  not  again  to  our  side  of  the 
ocean,  I  presume,  but  d.  in  Eng.  1681  or  2.  His  name  is  not  includ. 
with  those  the  royal  commissnrs.  honor,  in  giv.  office,  wh.  might  seem  to 
prove  his  abs.  tho.  special  reason  may  be,  his  tenderness  for  Quakers. 
*  NICHOLAS,  Charlestown,  s.  of  Nicholas  the  first,  was  a  major,  dism.  in 
July  1669,  by  the  County  Court,  from  that  office,  as  a  Quaker,  but  his 
nearer  neighb.  contin.  to  trust  his  goodness,  made  him  rep.  1696,  and  he 
prob.  had  s.  of  the  same  name,  and  no  little  hesitat.  is  felt  in  distinguish, 
one  from  the  other.

in  1645  was  one  of  the  32  petitnrs.  desiring  to  plant  at  Narraganset. 
Happi.  that  project,  caus.  some  trouble  by  adverse  claim  of  Plymouth, 
and  more  by  the  iniquit.  pursuit  of  the  poor  Gortonists,  to  drive  them 
from  Warwick,  was  overthrown,  by  the  Charter  giv.  to  Roger  Williams  ; 
and  both  the  unjust  pretensions  were  abandon.  See  Winth.  II.  252. 
To  support  the  Mass,  claim,  and  defeat  the  R.  I.  chart,  of  14  Mar.  1644, 
a  fictitious  gr.  of  that  territory  bear,  date  10  Dec.  preced.  that  is  earlier 
by  94  days,  was  brot.  out  from  the  files  in  our  Secretary's  office  by  Mr. 
Felt,  and  aft.  slumber  of  two  hundred  and  thirteen  yrs.  innocent,  publ. 
in  Geneal.  Reg.  XI.  41,  2,  3.  I  have  examin.  the  orig.  parchm.  and 
have  no  doubt  of  its  worthless  character,  as  several  of  the  signatures,  if 
not  all,  are  pretty  evident  forgeries ;  and  scrupulous  history  would  be 
content  with  the  declarat.  of  the  Earl  of  Warwick,  whose  name  is  the 
first  sign,  of  course,  as  he  was  the  first  man  in  the  Parliament's  commiss. 
for  the  N.  E.  Planta.  He  (as  Roger  Williams  wrote  to  John  Mason  of 
Conn.)  said  that  he  had  not  sign,  any  such  patent  bef.  that  of  14  Mar. 
"  and  he  was  sure,  that  chart,  wh.  the  Mass.  Englishmen  pretend,  had 
never  passed  the  table."  In  1 645  Dudley  was  our  Gov.  and  we  may  be 
sure,  he  had  no  belief  in  it,  or  he  would  have  relied  on  its  absolute  grant 
when  writing  to  the  governm.  of  Plymouth.  He  makes  no  refer,  to  it. 
Endicott,  the  Gov.  of  1644,  and  Winthrop,  the  ch.  ruler  of  1646,  7,  and 
8,  must  despise  it,  aft.  they  knew  it  was  denounc.  as  no  act  of  the 
signers  in  Eng.  How,  and  by  wh.  this  docum.  was  fabricat.  may  be  a 
curious  question.  Not  a  single  seal  of  the  pretend,  nine  signers  is  attach, 
but  three  of  them,  Rudyard,  Vassal,  and  Bond,  in  their  solemn  order  of 
15  May  1646,  giv.  in  full  by  Winth.  II.  280-2;  — four  of  them,  Hesel-

rige  and  Corbet,  in  equal,  solemn  act  of  22  July  1647,  with  the  two 
Earls  of  Warwick  and  Manchester,  Winth.  II.  319;  —  and  the  same 
four  in  a  prior  letter  of  25  May  1647,  Winth.  II.  320,  implicit,  deny 
any  such  grant  to  Mass.  So  that  we  have  seven  of  the  nine  denounc. 
the  spurious  act,  and  four  of  them  twice  over,  and  the  two  Earls  even 
thrice.  Prob.  the  parchm.  was  sent  by  one  or  both  of  the  former  Mass. 
agents,  Hugh  Peter  and  Thomas  Welde ;  but  I  ought  not  to  charge  on 
either  of  them  an  intent  to  deceive,  unless  a  false  date  led  irresitab. 
to  such  deduct.  It  was  only  a  draft  or  project  of  a  patent,  it  might  be 
said;  Imt  that  10  Dec.  1643  was  a  Sunday.  A  judicial  blindness 
seems  to  have  attend,  base  or  childish  attempts  at  forgery  in  the  remarka. 
instances  of  tak.  the  Lord's  day  for  date  of  the  magnific.  grant  of  all  New 
Hampsh.  17  May  1629,  usual,  call,  the  Wheelwright  deed,  —  the  petty 
convey,  to  Brewster  of  only  eighty  acres  at  Portsmouth,  6  Dec.  1629,  — 
and  this  charter  or  patent  to  rob  R.  I.  of  all  the  territo.  both  E.  and  W.  of 
Narraganset  Bay,  10  Dec.  1643.  Sic  SEMPER  INJUSTIS.  A  subsequent 
or  aft.  thot.  was,  indeed,  the  contrivance  of  Welde  in  his  famous  issue 
of  "  Antinomians  and  Familists,  &c."  near.  a.  the  same  time.  But  such 
jugglery  is  more  to  be  expect,  in  a  controversial  pamphlet,  than  a  solemn 
State  docum.  Rogues  must  always  dread  the  sun,  and  sometimes  the 
almanac.*  The  w.  of  S.  was  Margaret,  and  he  d.  Sept.  1650,  she  surv. 


*A  brief  note  (on  the  first  word  of  the  last  sentence  of  this  invalua.  docum. 
"  Yeouen"),  by  Mr.  Felt,  is  very  significant.  It  proves  that  Chaucer,  wh.  d.  244  yrs. 
bef.  employ,  the  term  for  Given.  Aft.  Chaucer  it  was  not  prob.  used  in  many  cases  ; 
but  between  the  time  of  bloody  Queen  Mary,  and  booby  King  James,  it  must  have 
given  way  to  our  modern  word.  The  use  of  it  proves  too  much  by  a  great  deal,  if 
intend,  to  indicate  the  issue  of  the  deed  Dec.  1643  bef.  that  of  Mar.  1644.  In  those 
94  days  our  language  did  not  so  rapid,  improve ;  but  near  twelve  times  as  many 
months,  I  suppose,  our  generous  had  supersed.  the  barbarous  term,  at  least  in  solemn 
acts  of  States;  and  we  all  feel,  that  the  right  of  existence  in  a  large  community 
should  not  be  sett,  by  a  point  of  verbal  criticism. 

Since  the  foregoing  was  written,  I  have  gained  the  benefit  of  the  sec.  Vol.  of  the 
Hist,  of  X.  E.  and  find  that  Dr.  Palfrey  (whose  inspection  nothing  escapes)  had  felt 
more  than  one  difficulty  on  this  subject.  A  valua.  note  on  p.  217  states,  "respect 
ing  this  patent,"  "  there  are  some  things  obscure."  He  then  adopts  the  suggest,  that 
"it  was  prob.  obt.  by  Welde,"  concur,  with  the  presumpt.  express,  in  the  Rcc.  of 
R.  I.  II.  162  ;  but  aggravates  the  palpable  obscure  by  a  most  reasona.  conject.  that  it 
was  "  without  authority  from  Mass."  Yet  it  would  seem  very  odd,  that  a  solemn 
patent  conveying  jurisdict.  from  the  sovereign  power  of  Eng.  to  the  colony  of  Mass. 
over  the  whole  of  the  present  State  of  R.  I.  should  be  solicit,  by  a  private  man  for 
her  without  any  commiss.  thereunto.  Next,  the  acumen  of  the  historian  observes, 
that  "  Williams's  patent  CONFLICTS  with  it ;  and  we  are  left  without  informal,  as  to 
the  cause  wh.  could  have  led  to  such  an  inconsistency  on  the  part  of  the  Commissnrs."

Corbet,  and  Wm.  Spurs  to  we  on  14  Mar.  1644,  conflicts  with  the  possibility  of  their 
having  on  10  Dec.  preced.  grant,  and  convey,  similar,  aye  the  same,  power  and  au 
thority  to  an  antagonist,  comp.  Still,  it  is  not  only  the  conflict  we  inquire  about,  but 
the  ease  with  wh.  the  weaker  side  prevail. ;  and  so  the  persevering  scrutiny  rilxt  finds 
remarka.  "  the  forbearance  of  Mass,  to  found  anv  practical  claim  upon  it."  Great 
sagacity  is  observa.  in  suggest,  of  the  reason  by  the  elaborate  writer,  —  "to  have  been 
the  caution  of  her  magistr.  a.  involv.  thems.  in  an  admissn.  of  the  lawfulness  of  the  authty. 
intrusted  to  the  Parliamenta.  Commissnrs."  Here  seems  much  more  refinement  than 
solidity ;  but  all  need  of  such  exercise  of  skill  was  taken  away  very  soon,  when  it  was 
found  that  the  pretended  patent  was  only  a  flimsy  fabrication.  Dr.  Palfrey  had 
on  the  former  p.  refer,  to  a  letter  in  Gov.  Winth's.  Hist.  II.  193,  from  the  E.  of 
Northumberland  and  eleven  others  of  the  princip.  leaders  in  affairs,  of  wh.  eight  were 
not  Commissnrs.  of  plantations,  and  took  notice  that  only  three  whose  names  are 
sign,  to  the  spurious  parchm.  as  Commissnrs.  unit,  with  that  recommend,  of  Ro. 
Williams  to  friend,  treatm.  and  therefore  puts  an  inquiry  —  Were  the  Commissnrs. 
cautious  a.  compromis.  their  dignity  by  demand,  of  Mass,  what  she  was  not  unlikely  to 
deny  ?  I  can  ascribe  ho  such  exquisite  craft  to  our  friends  in  Eng.  especial,  bee.  in 
Nov.  1646  the  Commissnrs.  Order  of  15  May  preced.  (relat.  to  Gorton  and  Holden), 
so  clear,  asserts  the  wrong  in  views  of  Mass.  "  We  find  withal  that  the  tract  of  Id. 
call,  the  Narraganset  Bay  (concerning  wh.  the  questn.  is  arisen),  was  divers  yr.s.  since 
inhab.  by  those  of  Providence,  Portsmouth,  and  Newport,  wh.  are  interest,  in  the 
compl.  and  that  the  same  is  wholly  without  the  bounds  of  the  Mass,  patent  gr.  by  his 
Majesty."  This  is  on  the  page  in  Winth.  II.  281,  next  to  that  quoted  by  the  modern 
hist,  to  explain  why  Mass,  would  not  take  a  charter. 

Deep,  as  is  felt  the  shame  for  such  deception,  that  led  our  governm.  to  inform  Wil 
liams  of  the  recent  reception  (27  Aug.  1645)  of  a  charter,  dat.  10  Dec.  1643,  giv.  to 
Mass,  the  Narraganset  Bay,  and  a  certain  tract  of  Id.  wherein  Providence  and  the.  isl. 
of  Quidy  were  includ.  as  in  Palfrey  II.  217  is  plainly  told,  we  may  well  exult  at  the 
speedy  triumph  of  equity  and  right  in  E.  I.  and  Providence  Plantations  (feeble  as 
that  side  seem.)  over  the  formidab.  array  of  the  four  proA'inces  confedcrat.  Fiat 
justitia. 

Connecticut  and  Plymouth,  wh.  were  each  stimulat.  to  claim  part  of  this  territo. 
that  now  forms  one  of  the  glorious  old  thirteen  U.  S.  (at  least,  the  greater  part  by  one 
and  the  remainder  by  the  other)  seem  easi.  to  have  discern,  the  futili.  of  such  claims  ; 
and  I  believe  that  Gov.  Bradford  has  not  permit,  even  a  word  on  the  right  of  his 
col.  over  R.  I.  to  appear  in  his  copious  Hist.  The  love  of  justice  and  a  true  sense 
"of  honor  soon  brought  Gov.  Winth.  to  relinquish  the  whole  jurisdict.  E.  of  the 
Pawcatuck  riv.  It  is  curious  to  read  the  modesty  of  statement  by  the  recent  hist,  of 
E.  I.  in  the  instructive  pages  118  and  119  of  Gov.  Arnold.  The  sanctity  of  that 
parchm.  was  assumed  at  Providence,  in  1859,  as  it  had  been  in  1645,  at  Boston; 
but  henceforward  I  hope,  that  neither  patriotism  nor  timidity  will  be  called  to  believe 
a  lie.

SHERIN,  ROBERT,  came  from  London  in  the  Elizabeth,  1634,  aged 
32,  perhaps  sitt.  down  first  with  other  fellow-passeng.  Sherman,  Kimball,

Perhaps  his  m.  was  in  the  East  Indies,  engag.  in  trade  there,  and  mak.

Haven,  was  adm.  freem.  29  Oct.  1640,  and  d.  1641.  HENRY,  Boston, 
perhaps,  but  I  kn.  nothing  of  him,  exc.  that  in  the  inv.  of  John  Mills, 
1651,  this  man's  name  appears  among  debtors.  JAMES,  Sudbury,  s.  of 
Rev.  John,  there  began  to  preach  1677,  m.  1680,  Mary,  d.  of  Thomas 
Walker,  had  John,  and  Thomas,  was  very  unhappy  in  his  place,  so  as  in 
July  1705  to  be  strip,  of  his  functions,  "  deposed  from  his  pastoral 
office,"  is  the  exact  phrase  of  1  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  X.  87,  but  for  the 
cause  of  such  unusual  proceed.  I  have  less  anxious,  sought,  than  to  learn 
how  he  went  to  Elizabethtown  in  N.  J.  and  aft.  to  Salem,  there  d.  1718.

relat.  and  reach.  Boston  in  June.  At  Watertown  he  resid.  near  a  yr. 
and  was  dism.  with  others  from  the  ch.  at  W.  29  May  1635,  says  Bond, 
to  form  a  new  one  on  the  Conn.  riv.  tho.  we  read  in  the  Magn.  "  not 
many  wks.  at  W.  bef.  he  rem.  upon  mature  adv.  unto  New  Haven." 
Now  instead  of  not  many  whs.  we  know  New  Haven  was  not  sett,  until 
more  than  four  yrs.  after  he  arr.  at  W.  Such  is  the  perpetual  laxity  of 
narrative  in  the  ecclesiast.  histori.  of  N.  E.  Beside  this,  it  was  not  to 
New  Haven  that  he  first  went,  but  to  Hartford  and  Wethersfield,  where 
the  attractions  of  Hooker  or  Smith  were  strong  eno.  and  at  the  latter  he 
obt.  gr.  of  a  house  lot  alongside  of  that  giv.  by  Rev.  Henry  Smith  to 
his  s.  Samuel.  Prob.  no  work  in  the  ch.  was  early  desir.  or  at  least 
gain,  for  he  was  releas.  from  serv.  of  watch  and  ward  not  until  1640  at 
May  sess.  of  Gen.  Ct.  Soon  aft.  he  sold  to  Thomas  Bunce  his  Wethers- 
field  lot,  and  rem.  to  Milford,  join,  the  ch.  there,  yet  acting  only  in  civ. 
life,  rep.  1643,  and  preach,  for  short  season  in  1645  for  the  early  days 
of  Branford.  There  he  was  desir.  to  sett,  as  their  min.  but  no  ch.  was 
then  gather.  By  first  w.  Mary  (wh.  d.  says  the  ch.  rec.  at  M.  8  Sept. 
1644),  he  had,  says  Mather,  six  ch.  wh.  is  liable  to  doubt  (tho.  we  are 
igno.  of  the  date  of  m.  as  well  as  the  parents  of  w.)  for  it  is  not  prob. 
that  he  was  m.  in  Eng.  nor  in  our  country  bef.  1638,  then  24  yrs.  old. 
Four  ch.  are  ment.  Mary,  b.  perhaps  in  1639 ;  Bezaleel,  bapt.  at  M.  15 
Nov.  1640,  H.  C.  1661 ;  Daniel,  27  Mar.  1642;  and  Samuel,  14  Apr. 
1644,  wh.  prob.  d.  soon.  At  New  Haven  he  m.  sec.  w.  Mary  Launce, 
late  in  1645,  a  maiden  in  the  fam.  of  Gov.  Eaton,  and  glad  eno.  must 
she  have  been  to  escape  the  perpetual  trouble  grow,  from  the  unhap. 
temper  of  the  w.  of  the  Gov.  full  report  of  wh.  is  giv.  in  Appx.  to  the 
charm.  Hist.  Discours.  of  Rev.  Dr.  Bacon.  By  her  he  had  Samuel, 
again,  bapt.  at  N.  H.  23  Aug.  1646,  and  next  yr.  he  rem.  to  "Watertown, 
wh.  on  req.  obt.  his  dismis.  from  Milford  ch.  8  Nov.  1647.  With  more 
than  his  usual  exuberance  of  invent.  Mather  makes  it  "  upon  the  d.  of 
Phillips"  (that  was  in  July  1644),  Watertown  offer,  a  call  and  he 
accept,  tho.  he  adds,  "  at  the  same  time  one  of  the  chhs.  at  Boston  used 
their  endeav.  to  bee.  the  owner  of  so  well  talented  a  person,  and  sev. 
chhs.  in  London  also  by  lett.  much  urged  him  to  come  over  and  help 
them."  If  this  be  true  (wh.  is  quite  unlike.)  for  London,  we  kn.  it  must 
be  false  for  B.  since  there  was  only  one  ch.  many  yrs.  later,  and  in  that 
Cotton  and  Wilson  could  wish  or  rec.  no  collea.  Our  sec.  ch.  where 
Mather  was  all  his  days  a  min.  was  not  gather,  bef.  5  June  1650,  and 
could  sett,  no  pastor  bef.  Nov.  1655.  Stranger  than  such  inexcusa. 
carelessn.  however,  is  what  he  tells  of  this  w.  call  her  mo.  d.  of  Darcy, 
Earl  Rivers,  one  of  the  Popish  Counsellors  of  Charles  I.  wh.  had  no  d. 
that  m.  a  Launce ;  and  next,  in  mak.  this  w.  bring  "  no  less  than  twenty

ch.  add.  unto  the  number  of  six,  wh.  he  had  bef."  Authority  for  such 
improb.  he  design,  his  reader  should  infer,  I  suppose,  from  tell,  in  the 
begin,  of  the  sentence, "  by  the  d.  of  that  Mr.  Launce,  ivh.  is  yet  liv.  among 
us,  Sherman  had  no  less  than,  &c."  To  this  fable  full  credit  was  long 
giv.  bee.  it  obt.  the  sober  sanction  of  Hutch.  I.  19,  a  relative  of  Mather, 
more  than  once  misled  by  him.  But  in  our  day,  a  descend,  of  Sherman 
by  this  w.  aft.  bestow,  large  investigat.  with  adequate  critical  skill,  puts 
the  result,  1851,  with  "special  wonder"  in  Geneal.  Reg.  V.  307,  as  not 
"  establ.  the  Darcy  lineage."  The  writer  refers  to  an  emin.  Eng.  anti 
quary,  wh.  had  been  very  slow  to  reject  the  tale  even  of  Mather,  or  to 
distrust  so  judicious  an  auth.  as  Hutch,  but  pursu.  the  inq.  long,  and 
wrote  me  the  issue,  three  yrs.  later,  "aft.  all  the  attent.  I  have  paid  to 
Mr.  Willard's  point,  there  is  no  satisfacto.  conclus.  arr.  at ;  and  I  am 
inclin.  to  think,  that  there  was  real,  no  particle  of  truth  in  the  report  wh. 
Mather  had  receiv.  and  has  giv.  circul.  to."  Equal  distrust  is  more 
natur.  felt  a.  the  number  of  ch.  that  led  our  ecclesiast.  hist,  to  dilate  in 
eight  and  twenty  lines  on  "  such  a  Polytokie,"  as  he  tersely  or  foolishly 
calls  it.  Suspicion  arises  from  this  fact,  that  exactly  one  less  than  half 
of  the  twenty-six  ch.  giv.  to  both  ws.  have  never  found  a  name  either  in 
rec.  or  benevol.  tradit.  See  Bond,  432.  Yet  one  more,  Benjamin,  was 
prob.  lost  from  the  rec.  (by  wearing  out  the  paper)  of  b.  23  Apr.  1661, 
and  d.  14  Oct.  1662.  By  the  sec.  w.  wh.  long  outliv.  him,  d.  9  Mar. 
1710,  we  see,  then,  ten  ch.  or  at  most  eleven,  instead  of  twenty,  were  b. 
and  whence  could  the  error  arise  ?  Aft.  the  b.  of  the  first  ch.  the  f.  was 
always  at  "Watertown,  there  as  min.  he  would  make  rec.  of  bapt.  of  his 
own,  as  well  as  of  others ;  but  the  rec.  is  lost,  and  we  have  to  seek  in 
town  rec.  for  entry  of  births ;  and  fortunate,  his  cous.  of  the  same  name 
was  many  yrs.  the  elk.  Five  only  are  thus  found,  Abigail,  3  Feb.  1648; 
Joanna,  3  Sept.  1652;  Mary,  5  Mar.  1657;  Grace,  10  Mar.  1659; 
and  John,  17  Mar.  1660;  but  with  more  or  less  confidence,  beside  Ben 
jamin,  five  more  can  be  read  in  Bond  (tho.  the  first  two  are  count,  by 
him  as  of  first  w.),  James,  bef.  ment.  Abiah,  Eliz.  Esther,  and  Mercy. 
Sometimes  I  have  suspect,  that  the  ch.  of  both  contempo.  Johns  were 
count,  for  one  by  the  informant  of  Mather,  and  very  exact  is  the  rec.  of 
seven  of  capt.  John,  part.  bef.  part.  aft.  he  bee.  elk.  and  so  by  office 
bound  to  kn.  bs.  ds.  and  ms.  No  weight  can  be  denied  to  such  surmise 
from  the  fact  of  differ,  names  of  the  ws.  of  Rev.  John  and  capt.  John, 
for  the  prefix  of  respect  in  h.  is  less  likely  to  be  omit,  than  the  bapt. 
name  in  w.  With  all  his  assidu.  Bond  could  not  satisfy  hims.  How 
Mather  got  this  story  of  the  fruitful  vine,  conject.  would  be  various,  if 
anyways  reasona.  The  eldest  d.  of  this  sec.  w.  could  not  have  told  it  to 
him,  for  she  d.  the  yr.  of  Mather's  bachelor's  degr.  20  yrs.  bef.  his  book

was  writ,  and  her  mo.  (wh.  was  liv.  aft.  the  light  of  the  immortal  author 
had  shone  upon  the  readers  of  Magnalia  a  dozen  yrs.)  could  not  be  so 
monstrous,  wrong  in  the  tale  of  her  own  cliildr.     But  if  she  did  give 
him  these  myths  of  her  noble  descent  and  prolific  felicity,  either  she  was 
insane,  wh.  he   had  not  sanity  eno.  to  discov.  or  she  was  irreverent, 
playing  on  his  bottomless  credulity.     More  prob.  however,  seems  this 
solution,  that  much  of  what  he  had  heard  about  Sherman  was  forgotten, 
and  sev.  stories  turn,  into  one,  and  he  tax.  his  fancy  (that  was  always 
lively,  especial,  at  a  marvel),  for  some  incidents,  and  confus.  the  whole. 
Sherman  was  adm.  freem.  of  Mass.  1669,  and  was  struck  with  fever  and 
delirium  in  the  pulpit  of  his  s.  at  Sudbury  where  he  preach,  his  last

descend,  in  1857,  prob.  in  seventh  generat.  fill,  the  same  post ;  but  I  can 
hardly  indicate  the  line.  He  had  Samson,  and  Samuel,  perhaps  more.

d.  bef.  1660,  leav.  ch.  Samuel,  Nathaniel,  and  Mary  Clark,  but  wh.  was 
the  w.  is  not  seen.  SAMUEL,  Boston,  husbandman,  perhaps  br.  of  Philip, 
by  w.  Grace  had  Philip,  b.  31  Dec.  1637 ;  Martha,  5  Sept.  1639 ;  both 
bapt.  8  Mar.  1640  ;  Nathaniel,  19  Dec.  1642;  Jonathan,  11  Feb.  1644, 
a.  3  days  old ;  and  Philip,  d.  young.  He  had  join,  the  ch.  1  Mar.  and 
was  adm.  freem.  13  May  1640 ;  and  his  w.  join,  the  ch.  29  Aug.  1641 ; 
he  d.  early  in  1645,  and  in  1652  the  Gen.  Ct.  interfer.  in  admin,  of  his 
est.  by  the  deacons  of  Boston  ch.  J  SAMUEL,  Stratford,  br.  of  Rev. 
John,  perhaps  did  not  come  so  early  as  1634,  wh.  Cothren,  60,  assumes, 
but  was  aft.  1640  some  yrs.  at  Wethersfield,  there  had  houselot,  giv.  by 
his  f. ;  was  among  first  resid.  at  Stamford,  and  had  sev.  ch.  b.  there  ;  was 
chos.  an  Assist.  1662,  3,  4,  and  aft.  the  union  of  the  Cols,  of  Conn,  and 
N.  H.  1665-7,  but  tho.  nominat.  for  1668,  he  fail,  of  the  elect,  and  is  no 
more  heard  of,  exc.  in  project,  with  others,  1672,  settlem.  of  Woodbury. 
Cothren  says  he  m.  in  Eng.  Sarah  Mitchell,  and  brot.  her  hither ;  but 
this  is  to  the  last  degr.  improb.  for  he  brings  him  in  1634,  then  only  19 
yrs.  old  at  most,  perhaps  only  18,  and  in  the  mo.  country  very  few  so 
young  were  m.  beside  wh.  he  calls  this  w.  sis.  of  Rev.  Jonathan,  wh. 
does  not  seem  to  have  had  such  sis.  at  least  we  kn.  that  Richard  Mather, 
a  fellow-passeng.  with  Mitchell's  f.  in  1635,  has  no  refer,  to  a  d.  then  m. 
on  our  side  of  the  water,  and  f.  Mitchell  in  his  will  of  1646  names  ds. 
only  Susanna  and  Hannah,  no  Sarah ;  and  beyond  that,  our  Sherman 
tribe  was  from  the  E.  part  of  Essex,  while  the  Mitchells  were  of  the  W. 
Riding  of  Yorksh.  on  the  edge  of  Lancash.  opposite  sides  of  the  king 
dom,  between  wh.  two  hundred  and  thirty  yrs.  ago  intercourse  was  very 
rare.  Reconciliat.  of  the  principal  fact  (if  it  be  true)  may  be  gain,  by 
a  reasona.  conject.  that  the  m.  tho.  it  could  hard,  have  occur,  in  Eng.  was 
some  yrs.  aft.  com.  of  the  parties  hither.  The  dates  of  b.  of  their  ch. 
give  further  evid.  as  Cothren  hims.  furnish,  them,  of  his  error,  as  the 
earliest  is  1641,  and  the  latest  1665,  wh.  is  beyond  the  usual  result  of  a 
m.  in  1634.  His  roll,  with  slight  corrections,  is :  Samuel,  b.  19  Jan.

1641 ;  Theophilus,  28  Oct.  1643  ;  Matthew,  21  Oct.  1645  ;  Edmund,  4 
Dec.  1647;  John,  8  Feb.  1651;  Sarah,  8  Feb.  1654;  Nathaniel,  21 
Mar.  1657  ;  Benjamin,  29  Mar.  1662  ;  and  Daniel  (wh.  careful  Mr.  Judd 
made  David)  15  Apr.  1665.  Some  ground  for  support  of  the  tradit.  of 
m.  Avith  the  d.  of  Mitchell  may  appear  in  two  of  the  names  of  these 
ch.  Matthew  and  Sarah  ;  but  I  must  adhere  to  my  conject.  a.  the  time. 
When  he  d.  might  seem  as  hard  to  settle,  as  his  date  of  m.  Cothren  tells, 
that  he  d.  bef.  Oct.  1684,  but  it  was  prob.  fifteen  yrs.  later,  at  least  we 
kn.  that  div.  of  his  est.  among  heirs,  whose  lang.  implies  recent  dec.  of 
their  ancest.  was  made  Sept.  1700,  and  deeds  by  him  as  late  as  1694 
can  be  read.  SAMUEL,  Boston,  s.  perhaps,  of  Samuel  of  Ipswich,  by  w. 
Naomi  had  Nathaniel,  b.  19  Dec.  1659 ;  Samuel,  3  Oct.  1661,  d.  soon; 
and  Samuel,  again,  24  Apr.  1664.  SAMUEL,  Stratford,  eldest  s.  of  Sam 
uel  of  the  same,  m.  19  June  1665,  Mary,  d.  of  Daniel  Titterton,  had 
Mary,  b.  7  May  1666;  Daniel,  23  Mar.  1669  ;  Susanna,  22  July  1670; 
Sarah,  bapt.  May  1673  ;  Grace,  b.  8  July  1676  ;  and  Eliz.  1  Jan.  1679. 
He  had  sec.  w.  m.  Aug.  1695,  Abigail,  d.  of  John  Thompson,  wid.  of 
Nicholas  Huse,  wh.  had  been  wid.  of  Jonathan  Curtis,  and  d.  Feb.  1719. 
His  wid.  d.  1731.  SAMUEL,  Portsmouth,  R.  I.  s.  of  Philip,  m.  3  Feb. 
1681,  Martha,  d.  of  John  Tripp,  had  Sarah,  b.  10  Apr.  1682  ;  Mary,  1 
Dec.  1683;  Mehitable,  18  Aug.  1685;  Samuel,  12  June  1687;  and 
Othniel,  29  Jan.  1690.  Perhaps  he  had  former  w.  Sarah,  that  d.  at 
Marshfield  July  1680.  THEOPHILUS,  Stratford  1669,  was  br.  of  the 
sec.  Samuel  of  the  same,  and  a  man  of  distinct,  d.  early  in  1712  ;  but 
Cothren  gives  him  no  w.  or  ch.  THOMAS,  Ipswich  1638.  WILLIAM, 
Plymouth  1G32,  may  have  come  in  1629,  for  to  one  of  the  name  was 
giv.  by  our  Gov.  and  Comp.  in  London,  liberty  to  bring  in  his  kine  from 
Northampton  in  fourteen  days  from  26  Feb.  doubtless  to  be  emb.  in  the 
fleet  with  Higginson.  He  m.  1639,  Prudence  Hill,  whose  f.  is  unkn.  to 
me,  was  of  Duxbury  and  Marshfield  1643,  Had  prob.  John,  b.  1646,  and 
William  ;  but  Winsor  may  have  confus.  f.  and  s.  The  f.  d.  or  was  bur. 
25  Oct.  1679.  WILLIAM,  Marshfield,  prob.  s.  of  the  preced.  m.  25  Dec. 
1667,  not  26  Dec.  1677,  both  dates  being  giv.  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VI. 
348.  Desire,  d.  of  Edward  Dotey,  had  Hannah,  b.  1668;  Eliz.  1670, 
wh.  d.  young;  William,  1672;  Patience,  1674;  and  Experience,  1678; 
and  d.  perhaps,  early  in  1681.  His  wid.  m.  24  Nov.  of  that  yr.  Israel 
Holmes,  and  next,  Alexander  Standish.  WILLIAM,  Portsmouth,  R.  I.  s 
of  Peleg,  m.  12  May  1681,  Martha,  d.  of  William  Wilbor,  had  William' 
Thomas,  Eleanor,  Mary,  Eliz.  Peleg,  Benjamin,  Sarah,  and  Hannah.  He 
m.  it  is  said,  sec.  w.  in  1697,  Mercy,  d.  of  Peregrine  White.  Most  of  fams. 
of  this  name  in  R.  I.  write  it  with  a  aft.  e  but  in  early  days  it  was  usual.

SHRIMPTON,  EPAPHRAS,  Boston,  by  w.  Rebecca  had  Samuel,  bapt.  17 
July  1687,  at  Charlestown,  but  why  there,  I  see  not ;  and  all  I  hear  of 
him,  is,  that  he  was  s.  of  Edward  of  London.  HENRY,  Boston,  br.  of

curious  proviso,  for  "  leave  that  I  may  be  bur.  in  the  tomb  wherein 
my  former  w.  Elinor  S.  was  bur.  otherwise  I  give  nothing."  A 
better  proof  of  his  sense  is  a  bequest  of  £10.,  "token  of  my  love,"  to 
Gold,  Osborn,  and  others,  of  the  Bapt.  ch.  worship,  at  Noddle's  isl.  A

may  be  read  in  our  Prob.  rec.  I.  390.  ||  JONATHAN,  Boston  1648,  eldest 
s.  of  Edward  of  Bednal  Green,  wh.  was  elder  br.  of  the  preced.  m. 
Mary,  d.  of  Peter  Oliver,  had  Mary  and  James  tw.  b.  30  Oct.  1667; 
Sarah,  29  Nov.  1669;  and  Samuel,  10  Dec.  1671;  ar.  co.  1665;  d.

ROBERT,  Boston,  had  John,  bapt,  28  May  1648,  "a.  six  wks.  old,"  says 
the  eh.  rec.  but  tho.  the  ancient  copy  calls  him  "  s.  of  our  br.  Robert  S." 
I  feel  compell.  aft.  long  investigat.  to  say,  that  it  seems  to  be  a  mistake, 
inasmuch  as  there  was  no  br.  Robert  S.  of  our  ch.  nor  does  the  town  rec. 
give  any  such  person.  To  be  sure  the  ch.  and  town  rec.  in  the  orig.  for 
many  early  yrs.  are  both  lost,  and  the  copies  are  of  various  value  ;  that 
of  the  ch.  very  far  superior  to  the  town  copy,  especially  as  gaps  in  1647, 
8,  and  9  are  num.  Now,  since  the  name  of  f.  is .  not  seen  in  any  time 
bef.  nor  for  a  long  success,  of  yrs.  aft.  if  ever,  my  conject.  is,  that  John, 
the  ch.  bapt.  on  that  day,  was  s.  of  Henry,  and  d.  soon.  That  this  may 
not  appear  too  hazardous  a  guess,  I  beg  the  student  of  our  early  manners 
to  obs.  that  Henry  had  brot.  to  bapt.  his  three  ch.  in  a  short  time  aft. 
their  sev.  births ;  but  of  six  succeed,  ch.  no  one  was  brot.  up  to  the  font 
bef.  the  fifth  day  aft.  b.  of  a  seventh,  and  then  the  rec.  has  this  strange 
relat. :  on  15  Apr.  1660,  were  bapt.  ch.  of  our  br.  Henry  Shrimpton, 
Sarah,  aged  eleven  yrs. ;  Abigail,  two  yrs. ;  Bethia,  one  yr. ;  and  Eliz. 
at  five  days.  The  three  intermed.  were,  I  presume,  d.  and  my  excuse 
for  omission  of  such  ordinance  in  the  six  cases,  is,  that  the  f.  was  too 
much  impress,  with  the  d.  of  his  s.  John.  If  in  opposit.  to  this  conject. 
it  be  suggest,  that  Henry  had  deriv.  prejudice  against  the  ceremony  of 
inf.  bapt.  the  inq.  natural,  springs  up,  if  his  conscient.  scruple  restrain, 
him  in  1649,  and  1653,  and  1654,  and  1656,  and  1658,  and  1659,  why 
should  it  have  relax,  in  1660  ?  Still,  if  my  disesteem  of  the  copy  in  the 
old  engrossing  hand  that  serves  for  first  ch.  rec.  seem  too. confident,  I 
must  be  excus.  from  abundant  experience  of  the  errors  in  such  docum. 
Our  town  rec.  as  it  is  call.  (I  mean  the  oldest  MS.  venerat.  by  me,  as 
the  County  Recorder's  Copy  from  the  lost  transcript  of  the  lost  orig.  rec. 
of  the  town  elk.  of  the  writs)  asserts  falsely,  that  "  Elinor,  the  d.  of 
Henry  Shrimpton  and  of  his  w.  Mary,  dec.  9  Mar.  1652,"  on  p.  128,

Pease,  was  k.  in  the  fight.  We  may  not  fear  to  call  him  a  trans,  person, 
perhaps  a  Dutch  mariner,  looking  out  for  any  serv.  to  favor  the  Prince

But  others  there  were,  as  the  fam.  tradit.  makes  two  s.  lost  at  sea ;  and 
fully  confirm,  is  it  by  the  fact,  that  aft.  the  d.  of  w.  in  the  begin,  of

1661,  yet  tradit.  tells  that  there  were  no  ch.  of  the  sec.  m.  with  Hannah, 
wid.  of  Hendrick  Hendrickson.  His  ch.  Daniel,  Thomas,  and  Robert,

of  b.  can  be  found ;  and  he  d.  1697.  ROBERT,  Fairfield,  s.  of  the  first 
Daniel,  had  by  Sarah,  d.  of  Cornelius  Hull,  it  is  said,  Nathaniel,  b.  20 
Aug.  1696;  Sarah;  Robert;  Martha;  Rebecca;  and  Ebenezer,  1707, 
Y.  C.  1727,  whose  descend,  have  confer,  gr.  honor  on  the  State;  and  d. 
1748.  Fam.  tradit.  makes  the  first  Daniel  come  from  Holland;  and  the 
derivat.  is  quite  distinct  from  the  city  of  Lucca,  in  Italy,  in  the  early 
day  of  the  Protestant  reformat,  thro.  Geneva,  where  had  sett,  the  f.  of 
one  Daniel.  This  Daniel  was  chos.  1575  into  the  Council  of  200  for 
that  Republic.  Sometimes  in  fam.  tradit.  there  is  a  basis  of  truth,  how 
ever  distort.

of  either  is  ment.  He  d.  2  Aug.  1634,  and  much  do  we  regret  the 
loss  of  his  will,  that  perhaps  would  have  nam.  the  childr.  In  his  Ann. 
II.  568,  Mr.  Felt  explains  the  denial  to  Gov.  Winthrop,  Isaac  Johnson,

bapt.  for  wh.  Cotton,  then  at  home,  express,  his  surpr.  and  regr.  No 
wonder  the  Browns  were  driv.  away,  when  these  later  comers  could  not 
by  Mr.  Skelton  be  adm.  to  his  communion  as  "  not  mernb.  of  reformed 
chhs."  The  great  master  of  us  all  would  gladly  have  rec.  these  men ; 
but  the  rigid  separatists  had  sterner  sense  of  duty.  So  extreme  was 
their  repugn,  to  the  formulary,  wh.  they  had  once  used  in  their  weekly

from  him  of  Id.  in  B.  I  have  tracked  him  down  to  Jan.  1667.  It  may 
be  very  difficult  to  determine,  whether  F.  the  glazier,  had  any  ch.  or 
how  old  he  was,  when  he  d.  but  his  br.  Joseph,  the  saddler,  had  admin,

been  f.  of  the  two  last  ment.  ch.  as  I  presume ;  and  had  earlier,  in  R. 
Sarah,  b.  6  May  1655;  tho.  it  is  not  impossib.  that  one  was  f.  of  all. 
FRANCIS,  Hingham,  drew  his  house  lot,  18  Sept.  1635,  freem.  13  May

of  the  first  Francis  of  the  same,  freem.  1691,  and  not  prob.  that  deac. 
wh.  d.  says  Eaton,  1744.  GEORGE,  Salem  1635,  had  then  gr.  of 
Id.  of  wh.  or  other  he  contin.  propr.  perhaps  was  of  Ipswich  1648,  and 
soon  back  to  S.  bef.  1663.  *  GEORGE,  New  Haven  1639-47,  was  not  on 
the  list  of  freem.  there  22  yrs.  aft.  At  N.  H.  by  w.  Sarah  he  had  Sa 
rah,  and  Martha,  perhaps  tw.  b.  1642  ;  Hannah,  1644;  but  all  three,  in 
the  right  of  their  mo.  bapt.  14  Dec.  1645  ;  Mercy,  22  Feb.  1646  ;  John, 
18  Apr.  1647;  Eliz.  16  Sept,  1649;  Samuel,  b.  4  Dec.  1651;  Ebene-

1661,  John  Clark;  Hannah  m.  1663,  Stephen  Bradley  of  Guilford; 
Mercy  m.  1669,  John  Benham;  and  Eliz.  m.  13  Nov.  1669,  John  Hall 
of  Guilford.  Yet  some  uncert.  attends  the  filiation  of  sev.  of  these  ch. 
bee.  ano.  Sarah,  w.  of  Nehemiah,  was  engag.  in  the  same  pious  work  of 
bring,  ch.  to  bapt.  in  the  same  yr.  nearly.  GEORGE,  Dover  1645,  came, 
perhaps,  from  the  city  of  Salisbury,  a  tailor,  in  the  James,  from  South 
ampton,  Apr.  arr.  June  1635,  unless  this  array  of  circumstance  pertain 
rather  to  the  Salem  man,  for  a  fam.  tradit.  says,  this  man  came  from 
Plymouth,  in  Devon,  to  "  Boston,  when  there  were  only  a  few  huts,  and 
not  one  cellar  dug;"  was  town  elk.  in  1646  had  commiss.  from  Mass,

Quint  thinks,  John,  and  James.     His  wid.  he  says,  m.  Monday,  per

Joanna,  bapt.  there  25  Mar.  1649  ;  was  of  the  earliest  sett,  at  New  Lon 
don,  but  his  gr.  of  1648  was  soon  sold  or  forfeit,  by  non.  resid.  and  he 
was  of  Fairfield  1651,  there  d.  1669.      He  left  sec.  w.  Eunice,  not  mo.  of

10  Sept.  1669.     *  HENRY,  Dorchester,  came  in  the  fleet  with  Winth. 
perhaps  req.    adm.    as    freem.    19  Oct.    1630,   and   was    rec.    18    May 
foil,  may  be  thot.  the  gent.  wh.  with  Ludlow,  Pynchon,  and  others,  was 
commis.  in  Mar.  1636  by  Mass,  to  govern  the  first  sett,  on  Conn,  and 
act.   at   Hartford  1638.     See  Mass.  Col.   Rec.  I.  170,  with   Conn.  Col. 
Rec.  I.  17  ;  but  whether  he  was  or  not,  the  Rev.  HENRY,  first  min.  of 
Wethersfield,  I  cannot   confidently  decide.     On  the  whole,  I  conclude, 
since  Mather  puts  the  Wethersfield  min.  into  his  first  classis  (as  of  those, 
in  the  actual  exercise  of  their  min.  bef.  they  left  Eng.),  that  this  man 
was  only  in  civ.  life,  for  he  is  not  dignif.  with  the  prefix  Mr.  and  would 
never  seem  to  be  looked  on  as  cleric,  in  Mass.,  and  prob.  the  min.  of 
Wethersfield  came  not  for  five,  or  even  six,  yrs.  more.   See  Winth's.  letter 
of  June  1636  to  his  s.  John,  Gov.  of  the  new  planta.  in  Hist.  I.  Appx.  A. 
60  of  the  Ed.  1853.    He,  in  1636,  rem,  to  Springfield  with  Pynchon;  was  s. 
by  a  former  h.  of  that  wid.  Sanford  wh.  had  m.  Pynchon,  and  this  s.  had  m. 
his  P's.  d.  Ann,  I  suppose  bef.  the  m.  of  his  mo.  with  the  f.  of  his  w.  pos 
sib.  bef.  they,  any  of  them,  came  from  Eng.  to  confound  the  two,  if  there 
were  not  three  (wh.  seems  improb.)  Henry  Smiths.     I  design  always  to 
put  the  names  in  the  order  of  their  com.  to  our  country,  so  that  Rev. 
Henry,  tho.  older,  must  follow  the   Springfield  man.     Felt  has,  in   his 
Eccles.  Hist,  of  N.  E.  253,  made  the  min.  wh.  was  receiv.  of  the  ch.  of 
Charlestown  in  midsum.  of  1637,  one  of  the  commission  to  govern  the 
Conn,  planta.  in  1636,  with  Ludlow,  Steele,  Pynchon  and  others,  when 
we  may  feel  sure,  that  it  was  Pynchon's  s.  in  law  wh.  had  that  honor  ;  as 
also,  that  the  Wethersfield  min.  was   at  the  date  of  1636  in  his  native 
land,  had  Ann,  and  Mary,  wh.  were  b.  bef.  his  rem.  the  latter,  bur.  at  S.

yrs.;  Sarah,  6  Oct.  1647,  d.  soon;  Margaret,  again,  1  Nov.  1648;  Re

Prob.  most  of  the   ch.  went  with  the  f.  but  Mary  perhaps  contin.  here

and  Ann,  \vh.  we  may  be  sure,  was  the  first  b.  m.  9  Nov.  1651,  John  Al- 
lyn  of  Hartford,  the  famous  Seer.     Other  ch.  he  may  have  had,  either 
bef.  or  aft.  leav.  S.  but  where  Farmer  found  his  Elisha,  is  hard  to  guess. 
He  seems  to  be  as  well  entit.  as  the  AVatertown  Henry,  to  be  thot.  the 
freem.  of  18  May  1G31,  prob.  better.     Since  reach,  the  conclus.  that  my 
Dorchester   Henry  is  the  same  as   he,  wh.  Farmer  in  MS.  had  thot.  of 
Watertown,  and  by  his   two  lines   drove  me  to  many  wks.  research,  I 
have   the  gratification  of  ascertain,  from  Dr.   Bond's  untir.   investigat. 
that  at  Watertown  was  no  Henry  Smith  at  all.    HENRY,  Charlestown,  join, 
the  ch.  with  w.  Dorothy,  10  July  1637,  prob.  rein.  soon.    He  may  have  been 
passeng.  in  the  Elizabeth,  1635,  without  wishing  his  name  to  appear  at 
the  custom  ho.  as  no  min.  could  be  suf.  to  emb.  at  least  we  kn.  that  ship 
brot.  Dorothy,  aged  45 ;  d.  Mary  15,  and  John,  12 ;  most  likely  he  was 
the  Wethersfield  min.     Very  critical  caution,  however,  is  requisite,  about 
the  concomitants  of  the  rev.  gent,   whose  will,  of  8  May  1648,  refers, 
without  nam.  them,  to  two  ds.  m.     Of  course  they  were  b.  in  Eng.  '  It 
also  names  s.  Peregrine,  wh.  may  not  have  been  b.  on  this  side  of  the 
water,  certain,  was  older  than  Samuel,  but  whether  s.  of  the  w.  Dorothy, 
or  not,  is  uncert.     Of  that  Dorothy,  the  w.  we  may  be  very  sure,  that 
she  was  his  sec.  w.  not  mo.  of  Mary,  or  John,  fellow  passeng.  with  her. 
For  the  elder  ds.  we  are  not  sure  of  the  h.'s,  unless  of  Rebecca  we  judge 
her  w.  of  Samuel  Smith  of  New  London.     See  Caulkin's  Hist,  of  N.  L. 
151.     She  was  divorc.  for  his  desertion,  and  m.  1669,  Nathaniel  Bow 
man.     At  least  the  age  of  this  w.  at  Charlestown,  if  she  be  the  passeng. 
in  the  Elizabeth,  is  very  much  overrat.  perhaps  fifteen  yrs.  if  not  more ; 
for  bef.  his  rem.  to  W.  he  had  Dorothy,  b.  1636,  or  7  ;  and  at  W.  had 
Samuel,  27  Jan.  1639  ;  Joanna,  25  Dec.  1641;  Noah,  25  Feb.  1644,  d. 
young;  and  Eliz.  perhaps  posthum.  25   Aug.   1648.     The  min.  of  W. 
had  a  long  controv.  with  a  part  of  his  people,  whereby  the  peace  of  that 
whole  commonwealth  was  disturb.     See  Trumbull,  Col.  Rec.  I.  97  and 
98.     It  seems  only  to  have  terminat.  by  his  d.  1648.     In  his  will,  Ib.  502, 
he  speaks  of  his  large  fam.  ment.  only  s.  Samuel,  Perigrine,  wh.  was  d.

Mar.  1633,  or  of  7  Dec.  1636.  Mr.  Clap  thinks  he  was  past  mid.

But  betw.  other  Johns  of  the  neighb.  my  power  of  discrimin.  fails.  In 
Providence  alone  were  four  Johns  among  the  first  hundred  purch. 
One  JOHN,  if  not  two,  was  of  Newport,  in  1640.  JOHN,  Watertown 
1631,  perhaps  the  freem.  of  25  May  1636  (whose  w.  Isabel  d.  or  was 
bur.  12  July  1639,  aged  60,  as  Dr.  Bond  says),  may  have  been  f.  of 
John,  Thomas,  and  Francis,  sometimes  nam.  of  W.  perhaps  of  others, 
but  all  b.  in  Eng.  and,  as.  Bond  thinks,  rem.  to  Lancaster,  and  d. 
there,  yet  I  think  it  more  prob.  that  it  was  a  younger  man.  JOHN, 
Taunton,  one  of  the  first  purch.  1637.  JOHN,  Plymouth  1643,  then  call, 
senr.  was  one  of  the  first  sett,  at  Eastham  ;  but  we  ask  in  vain  as  to  his 
fam.  or  time  of  d.  and  are  left  to  infer  that,  tho.  he  was  sen.  in  the  list  of 
those  able  to  bear  arms,  John  jun.  was  not  his  s.  as  he  did  not  accomp. 
the  sen.  to  Eastham,  and  it  may  equally  be  doubt,  whether  he  was  f.  of

1640;  and  ano.  JOHN  was  there  1646,  both  sen.  and  jun.  freem.  in 
1669  ;  but  tho.  not  f.  and  s.  are  easily  disting.  The  elder,  wh.  d.  1684, 
by  w.  Grace,  wh.  join,  the  ch.  1642,  had  there  bapt.  Ephraim,  13  Oct. 
1644;  John,  b.  27  Aug.  1646;  Mary,  1648;  Ebenezer,  10  Nov.  1651, 
d.  young;  Mercy,  bapt.  5  Dec.  1652,  d.  at  18  yrs.;  and  Mehitable,  25 
Mar.  1655.  Only  four  of  these  liv.  to  maturity,  viz.  Ephraim;  John; 
Mary,  wh.  m.  Abel  Gunn  of  Derby;  and  Mehitable,  wh.  m.  1674,  Ed 
ward  Camp.  His  wid.  d.  1690.  Of  the  younger  John,  not  s.  of  the 
preced.  we  learn,  that  he  was  a  blacksmith,  m.  19  July  1665,  Sarah,  d. 
of  Lieut.  William  Fowler  of  the  same,  had  Joseph;  John,  b.  1669,  d. 
young;  Jonathan,  5  Sept.  1671  ;  and  John,  again,  18  June  1674,  wh.  d. 
young.  For  sec.  w.  he  m.  1694,  Clemence,  wid.  of  Jonathan  Hunt  of  North 
ampton,  and  d.  1704.  JOHN,  Hampton  1644,  was,  prob.  the  progenit.  of 
a  line  of  Smiths  in  that  town,  and  his  d.  Deborah  was  first  w.  of  Nathan 
iel  Bachiler.  JOHN,  wh.  by  Farmer  is  nam.  of  Boston,  com.  from  Ire 
land,  and  adm.  of  the  ch.  1640,  must  be  look,  at  as  a  supernum.  for  the 
ch.  rec.  in  the  yr.  foil.  giv.  only  this  foundat.  for  such  a  statem.  "21  of 
the  12th  1640  Mrs.  Hannah  S.  the  w.  of  one  Mr.  John  Smyth  in  Ire 
land"  and  it  may  seem  as  prob.  (no  more  being  heard  of  her)  that  she 
went  to  him,  as  that  he  came  to  her.  The  gr.  rebellion  in  I.  broke  out 
the  same  yr.  JOHN,  Dorchester,  came  in  1635  with  w.  and  d.  Mary  (in 
the  James  of  Bristol),  the  ch.  brot.  from  Warrington,  Lancash.  on  a  horse 
in  a  pannier,  balanc.  by  young  Nathaniel,  s.  of  Rev.  Richard  Mather, 
then  five  yrs.  old,  as  a  decent  tradit.  relates ;  and  in  that  voyage  partook 
the  vexat.  and  dangers  so  well  relat.  by  Mather,  in  Young's  Chron. 
Here  he  was  prob.  freem.  7  Dec.  1636,  and  had  by  w.  Catharine  other

one  ch.  b.  less  than  3  mos.  after  a  former.  The  heroine  of  the  pannier

her  73d  yr.  Her  f.'s  will  made  28  Dec.  1676,  some  mos.  aft.  the  date 
ment.  in  Geneal.  Reg.  for  his  d.  with  a  codic.  was  pro.  25  July  1678. 
JOHN,  Watertown  1 640,  s.  of  Adrean,  the  w.  of  Jeremiah  Norcross,  had  w. 
Mary.  JOHN,  Rowley,  s.  perhaps,  of  Huph,  m.  Faith,  d.  prob.  of  Francis 
Parrott,  had,  says  Gage,  John,  and  Jonathan,  tw.  b.  1659.  Perhaps  both

JOHN,  Saco,  freem.  1653,  had  been  there  from  1636,  and  we  would 
gladly  learn  more  of  him.  JOHN,  Plymouth,  usually  call.  jr.  able  to  bear 
arms  1643,  was  not,  perhaps,  s.  of  the  first  John  of  the  same,  m.  4  Jan. 
1649,  Deborah,  d.  of  Arthur  Howland  of  Marshfield,  had  Hasadiah,  b. 
11  Jan.  1650  ;  John,  1  Oct.  1651  ;  Josiah,  16  Apr.  1652  ;  Eleazer,  20 
Apr.  1654;  and  Hezekiah,  8  Feb.  1656.  JOHN,  Eastham,  call.  sen.  had

Packard,/yoPBri^ewateiV]:'*  JOHN,  Hingham,  freem.  1647,  as  to  me 
seems  more  prob.  tho.  Farmer  decid.  for  1654,  m.  May  1645,  Sarah,  d. 
of  Ralph  Woodward  of  the  same,  had,  perhaps,  sev.  ch.  besides  John,  b. 
19  Sept.  1653,  was  lieut.  1661,  rep.  1683  and  aft.  till  chos.  Assist.  1686, 
in  wh.  he  contin.  to  serve  until  the  new  Chart,  and  d.  May  1695. 
JOHN,  Providence,  call,  for  distinct.  Jamaica  John,  perhaps  bee.  he  came 
from  there,  was  d.  bef.  20  May  1685,  when  his  s.  John  executes  a 
deed,  in  wh.  he  styles  hims.  s.  and  heir.  JOHN,  Taunton,  had  Eliz.  b. 
7  Sept.  1663;  Henry,  27  May  1666;  perhaps  others.  JOHN,  Salem 
1659,  was  a  tailor;  and  Felt  names  ano.  John,  Salem  1660,  a  malster, 
who  had  w.  Ann.  Ano.  JOHN,  of  Salem,  wras  a  mason  in  1671.  One  of 
these  Salem  Johns,  at  the  ord.  of  Rev.  John  Higginson,  in  1660,  rais.  a 
disturb.  Perhaps  his  w.  Margaret  and  her  ch.  were  then  in  prison  at 
Boston,  as  quakers.  See  Hutch.  I.  203.-%  rfoHNjTforchester,  had  James, 
and  Mary,  wh.  were  adult  when  they  were  bapt.  in  right  of  their  mo.  10 
June  1683,  she  then  being  w.  of  Ellis  Wood  as  the  ch.  rec.  tells.  But 
very  curious  rec.  of  bapt.  is  found  few  mos.  preced.  as  follows :  "  The 
childr.  of  Miriam,  the  w.  of  Ellis  Smith,  were  bapt.  19  Nov.  1682,  viz. 
Ann,  Miriam,  Sarah,  and  David."  Who  was  f.  of  these  ch.  is  on  the  face 
of  the  rec.  doubtful.  No  such  man  as  Ellis  Smith  can  be  heard  of,  and 
easy  eno.  might  the  scribe  mistake  this  name  for  Wood,  if  we  may  as 
sume  that  the  w.  of  Wood  was  bring,  up  to  the  font  offspring  of  her 
former  h.  John  Smith,  wh.  d.  1682.  JOHN,  New  London  1658,  call.

and  Eliz.  m.  a  Way  of  Lyrae.  Caulkins,  323.  JOHN,  Dedham  1661, 
may  be  the  h.  of  a  d.  of  Philip  Eliot  of  Roxbury,  nam.  in  his  will. 
JOHN,  Watertown,  s.  of  the  first  Thomas  of  the  same,  m.  1  Apr.  1665, 
Mary,  d.  of  Anthony  Beers,  had  Mary,  b.  15  June  1667  ;  John,  8  Aug. 
1668;  Abigail,  29  June  1670;  Hannah,  27  Dec.  1672;  Sarah,  7  June 
1675  ;  and,  perhaps,  but  not  prob.  Samuel,  whose  day  of  b.  as  giv.  by 
Bond,  10  Mar.  1700,  excites  suspic.  of  error.  JOHN,  Eastham,  m.  24 
May  1667,  Hannah  Williams,  had  Eliz.  b.  24  Feb.  1669;  Sarah,  27 
Mar.  1672;  perhaps  Mercy,  17  Sept.  1676;  and  Ebenezer,  16  Jan. 
1680;  yet  some  uncertainty  arises  as  to  the  names  and  births  of  some. 
Ano.  JOHN,  Eastham,  m.  30  Nov.  1668,  Mary  Eldridge,  perhaps  d.  of 
Eobert  of  the  same,  had  John,  b.  18  Oct.  1669;  Jeremiah,  27  Dec. 
1670;  William,  2  Aug.  1672;  a  d.  10  Feb.  1675;  Mary,  30  Nov. 

1676,  d.  soon;  Mary,  again,  15  Jan.  1678;  Beriah,  2  Mar.  1680;  Be- 
thia,  16  Jan.  1682;  and  Mehitable,  1  May  1691;  but  some  confus.  is 
appar.  in  the  assignm.  of  the  eh.  to  these  two  Johns  in  Geneal.  Reg. 
VJI.  279.     JOHN,  Boston,  mason,  in  his  will  of  27   Oct.   1678,  pro.  8

JOHN,  Hampton,  a  tailor,  and  JOHN,  Hampton,  a  cooper,  ea.  took  o.  of 
alleg.  1678,  of  wh.  one  may  have  been  f.  and  one  s.  but  it  is  not  very 
prob.  and  I  am  ign.  of  the  priority ;  only  the  cooper,  it  is  said,  by  w. 
Huldah  had  Abigail,  b.  24  Feb.  1688.     One  of  them  was  s.  of  JO«N, 
late  of  the  Vineyard,  but  I  find  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII.  52,  no  mark  of 
time,  to  inform  what  late   refers  to.     JOHN,   Providence,  call.  junr.  in 
May   1671,    when    he    engag.    alleg.     JOHN,   Newbury,  perhaps    s.    of

first  Samuel  of  the  same,  had  John,  b.  14  Sept.  1668,  d.  in  a  mo.     Re

Nov.  1663,  Mary,  d.  of  William  Partridge,  had  John,  b.  15  May  1665, 
perhaps  freem.  of  1690;  Samuel,  7  Dec.  1667,  wh.  was  k.  by  lightning 
in  his  14th  yr. ;    Joseph,  1670;  Benjamin,  1673;  and  Mary,  early  in

Newbury's  despatches  in  Conn.  Rec.  II.  450.     His  s.  Joseph  was  ancest.

have  had  Deborah,  b.  7  Mar.  1676;  Hannah,  22  Mar.  1678;  and  John, 
6  Dec.  1680.  But,  in  so  common  a  name,  sen.  and  jun.  are  very  inadeq. 
to  express  distinct,  betw.  two  hav.  the  same  bapt.  name,  when  the  order 
of  time  may  be  uncert.  JOHN,  Milford,  s.  of  the  first  John  of  the  same, 
m.  a.  1669,  Phebe  Campfield,  perhaps  d.  of  Matthew,  or  Thomas. 
JOHN,  Charlestown  1674,  a  mason,  householder  in  1678,  was  perhaps 
he,  wh.  m.  at  Woburn,  7  May  1674,  Abigail,  d.  of  Rev.  Thomas  Carter;

bapt.  by  the  gr.f.  JOHN,  York,  call.  jr.  when  he  sw.  alleg.  1681,  wh.  may 
lead  us  to  presume  that  an  elder  John  liv.  there,  tho.  he  may  have  been 
s.  of  the  John  of  Saco,  one  of  the  chief  men.  JOHN,  Dover  1675,  per

Til.  or  Newton,  a  tanner,  by  w.  Sarah,  prob.  d.  of  Henry  Prentice  of  the

Mar.  1678;  Sarah,  again,  17  Aug.  1681;  Thankful;  Rachel,  19  Dec. 
1685;  and  Joseph,  9  Aug.  1687;  and  by  sec.  w.  Susanna  had  Jerusha, 
b.  8  May  1695;  Margaret,  29  July  1698;  Daniel,  16  Aug.  1700; 
Esther,  20  July  1703;  Ephraim,  5  Oct.  1704;  Josiah,  27  May  1707;

Haven,  s.  of  George,  was  a  propr.  1685.  JOHN,  Charlestown,  s.  of 
Thomas,  the  butcher,  was  a  mariner,  d.  at  Jamaica,  22  July  1688. 
One  JOHN,  at  Dartmouth,  took  o.  of  fidel.  in  1684.  JOHN,  Gloucester, 
by  w.  Abigail  had  Miriam,  b.  20  Aug.  1689,  and  prob.  more  ch.  by  ano.

JOHN,  of  Eastham,  I  think  was  s.  of  John  the  third  of  the  same,  and  by 
w.  Sarah  he  had  Hannah,  b.  18  Mar.  1696;  Joseph,  28  Dec.  1697;

Seth,  28  Jan.  1706;  Eliz.  Mar.  1708;  Rebecca,  Mar.  1710;  and  John, 
13  Mar.  1713.  After  assid.  attent.  I  am  unable  to  give  distinct,  to  any 
more  Johns,  tho.  beyond  doubt  there  were  sev.  wh.  would  be  embrac.  by 
my  plan  ;  yet  the  ingenuity  of  any  single  antiquary  would  be  oft.  at  fault, 
even  if  his  patience  were  not  exhaust,  in  pursuit  of  the  local  habitat,  of 
all.  In  Boston  alone  were  four  tax  payers  of  the  name  in  1695.  JON- 
ATHAN,  Wethersfield,  s.  of  Richard  the  first  of  the  same,  made  freem. 
1657,  m.  1  Jan.  1664,  Martha,  d.  of  Francis  Bushnell,  prob.  had  sev.  ch. 
bef.  rem.  to  Middletown,  where  he  had  Gershom,  b.  Nov.  1679;  and 
Deborah,  23  Sept.  1682;  went  back  to  W.  where,  tho.  he  sold  part  of 
his  est.  he  held  other  Ids.  on  the  E.  side  of  the  gr.  riv.  and  join,  with  his 
neighb.  in  obtain,  incorpo.  of  Glastenbury,  liv.  1698.  JONATHAN,  Exe

eldest  s.  of  William  of  Wethersfield,  ni.  Mary,  d.  of  Joseph  Bird,  had 
Eliz.  Samuel,  Jonathan,  Mary,  Mehitable,  wh.  was  bapt.  11  Oct.  1691; 
Sarah,  24  Dec.  1693;  Abigail,  29  Dec.  1695;  William,  perhaps  30 
June  1700  ;  and  Eleazer,  perhaps  20  Sept.  1702.  But  whether  all  were 
by  first  w.  is  unkn.  as  are  dates  of  b.  of  four  earliest  ch.  He  had  sec.  w. 
Rachel,  d.  of  Samuel  Steele ;  and  third  w.  Sarah,  he  took  in  1714,  and 
d.  5  Apr.  1721  ;  and  his  wid.  m.  Thomas  Bird.  JONATHAN,  Water- 
town,  youngest  s.  of  Thomas,  first  of  the  same,  m.  16  Mar.  1683,  Jane 
Peabody,  had  Jonathan,  b.  4  May  1684;  Zechariah,  16  May  1687; 
Eliz.  bapt.  7  Apr.  1689,  d.  soon;  Eliz.  again,  19  May  1691  ;  Elisha,  b.

July  1697;  and  Nathaniel,  15  Nov.  1701;  was  freem.  1690,  and  d.

1688,  Abigail,  d.  of  Joseph  Kellogg,  had  Jonathan,  b.  10  Aug.  1689;

nothing  else  was  ever  heard,  so  that  I  fear  error  in  this  Roxbury  rec. 
tho.  he  may  have  been  the  Hingham  man.  RICHARD,  Taunton  1638, 
one  of  the  first  purch.  was  from  Gloucester&h.  may  be  the  man,  wh.  went 
to  R.  I.  the  next  yr.  and  some  yrs.  aft.  was  the  promin.  man  on  the 
main,  hav.  a  large  trad.  ho.  in  the  Narraganset  land,  perhaps  two, 
North  Kingston  and  Wickford,  purch.  of  the  sachem  in  1641,  and  this, 
in  my  opin.  led  to  tak.  side  against  Gorton  and  his  assoc.  wh.  hot.  of 
other  sachems  a  principality  of  Showamet,  or  Warwick,  to  the  North 
ward  of  Smith,  wh.  made  Arnold  and  comp.  of  Providence  cry  out 
against  G.  and  his  friends,  wh.  preach,  bad  doctrines  in  the  judgment  of 
Mass,  people,  and  thence  in  the  summer  came  the  cruel,  if  not  perfidious, 
slaughter  of  Miantinomo,  head  of  both  parties  of  the  Ind.  and  next  the 
relig.  war  of  1643  against  Gortonism.  For  his  knowledge  Smith  was

being  the  plunder  our  forces  took  with  the  misbelieving  prisoners.

was  honor,  with  a  commiss.  as  chief  magistr.  from  Conn.  1671,  as  he  had 
support,  their  rights  against  the  claims  of  Providence,  wh.  were  favor,  by 
the  royal  commiss.  in  1665.  His  s.  of  the  same  name  was  made  consta 
ble  there  1662^  when  the  Conn.  Counc.  dignif.  his  neighborhood  with  the 
town  rights  of  Wickford  ;  but  the  ultimate  decision  of  the  disput.  title,  in 
the  highest  tribunal  at  home,  went  contrary  to  both  Mass,  and  Conn.

Russell,  that  caus.  the  rem.  1659,  of  many  of  the  parish,  and  founda. 
(by  R.  and  his  friends)  of  Hadley ;  but  if  not  d.  he  was  too  old  to  rem. 
and  contin.  at  W.  His  s.  Richard's  name  is  on  the  list  of  freem.  1C  GO, 
and  his  d.  Esther  m.  John  Strickland ;  Beriah  m.  Richard  Fox  ;  and 
Bethia  m.  15  Aug.  1684,  Joshua  Stoddard.  Other  ch.  were  Jonathan, 
wh.  he  estab.  in  est.  as  early  as  1662  ;  Samuel;  Joseph;  and  Benjamin. 
But  I  ought  to  add,  that  these  ch.  are  by  Chapin  reckon,  gr.  ch.  of  the 
first  sett,  of  1C48,  and  progeny  of  his  s.  Richard..  With  him  I  agree, 
tho.  not  to  receive  the  result  of  his  testim.  in  1684  when  he  tells  of  com 
ing  from  the  Vineyard  "  30  or  40  yrs.  ago,"  yet  ment.  no  f.  Perhaps  we 
may  resolve  that  Richard  jr.  whose  ch.  are  here  refer,  to,  and  whose 
will  of  1680  could  not  have  effect  bef.  4  July  1690,  when  is  notic.  the 
first  d.  in  W.  of  any  Richard,  was  s.  of  the  chief  man  of  the  town.  But, 
for  a  season,  sev.  yrs.  bef.  1673,  there  was  only  one,  tho.  three  bef.  R.  S. 
at  W.  and  of  wills  or  est.  in  prob.  there  is  only  one  exc.  the  insolv. 
R.  S.  call,  of  Hartford.  RICHARD,  Ipswich  1642,  as  Farmer's  MS. 
has  it,  without  a  word  of  add.  but  it  is  kn.  there  was  one  of  the  name 
.there .1678..  ..He _  may  have  been  s.  of  Richard  of  Shropham,  Co.  Norf. 
short  dist.  from  E.  Hading.  RICHARD,  New  London  1652,  came  from 
the  Vineyard,  but  soon  rem.  to  Wethersfield,  there,  says  Caulkins,  call, 
senr.  and  we  can  hardly  doubt  that  he  is  the  promin.  Richard  of  W. 
RICHARD,  Watertown,  sw.  fidel.  1652,  perhaps  was  of  Lancaster,  and 
m.  2  Aug.  1654,  Joanna  Quarles.  RICHARD,  Boston,  came  in  the 
Speedwell,  July  1656,  aged  43,  may  be  the  man  wh.  had  (with  cons,  of 
their  f.)  bound  to  him  ch.  Edward  Phillips  for  ten  yrs.  and  Deborah  P. 
for  13  yrs.  on  12th  May  1671,  whose  indent,  on  21  July  foil,  he  assign, 
to  Henry  Green  of  Rumney  Marsh,  now  Chelsea,  or  perhaps  Maiden. 
He  was  prob.  a  bricklayer.  RICHARD,  Wethersfield,  call.  jun.  prob.  not 
s.  of  Richard  of  the  same,  yet,  like  him,  had  been  of  New  London,  in 
1655,  was  adm.  freem.  1658,  and  is  on  the  list  of  W.  with  the  other. 
Difficult  as  it  is  to  attain  certainty,  it  seems  highly  prob.  that  he  is  the 
same  person,  wh.  at  Hartford,  1665  and  6,  is  call.  junr.  yet  had  s. 
Samuel  well  grown,  and  may  be  he  wh.  d.  at  H.  1689  insolv.  Still  the 
opin.  of  Mr.  Chapin  is  entit.  to  gr.  weight,  and  aft.  fluctuat.  long,  my 
friend,  Sylvester  Judd,  concluded,  that  the  Richard  Smiths  are  more 
confus.  than  the  John  S.  RICHARD,  Lyme,  propound,  for  freem.  1671,

Counc.  of  Sir  Edmund  Andros.  See  Hutch.  I.  354  in  note.  His  will, 
of  16  Mar.  1691,  call.  hims.  of  Rochester  in  the  King's  Prov.  at  Narra- 
ganset,  allows  us  to  suppose,  that  he  had  no  ch.  for  it  gives  all  the 
income  of  his  various  est.  to  his  w.  "  for  her  natural  life,  and  no  longer, 
aft.  wh.  the  whole  to  kinsmen,  Lodowick  and  Daniel  Updike,"  &c.  &c.

prior  to  devolv.  that  office  upon  Stoughton.  RICHARD,  Falmouth,  by  w.

SOUTH,  JOHN,  Dorchester,  if  the  name,  spell.  Sougth  in  the  ret.  of  d.

Dorchester,  prob.  br.  of  the  preced.  an  orig.  patentee  under  the  Great 
Plymouth  Comp.  but  not  ment.  in  royal  chart,  came  perhaps  in  the 
Mary  and  John,  and  req.  adm.  as  freem.  19  Oct.  1630,  and  as  he  is

and  John,  b.  and  d.  1703.  No  gain  has  follow,  the  search  for  this  man's 
origin ;  and  perhaps  one  of  the  very  few  instances  of  emigrat.  from 
Eng.  to  our  country,  later  than  1670,  may  be  this  of  Southwell.  More 
than  the  proportion  of  ninety-five  in  the  hundr.  of  the  populat.  of  N.  E. 
in  1775,  had  descend.  I  think,  from  the  sett.  wh.  came  at  least  25  yrs. 
bef.  that  earlier  date. 

SOUTHWICK,  LAWRENCE,  Salem  1639,  with.  w.  Cassandra  join,  the

foil,  had  John,  Josiah,  Daniel,  and  Provided  bapt.  at  once.  Other  ch. 
were  Mary,  w.  of  Henry  Trask,  and  Deborah.  He  was,  I  suppose,  a 
glass  blower,  had  gr.  of  Id.  for  house  lot  of  two  acres ;  but  in  the  dark 
days  of  delus.  against  the  quakers,  1658  and  1659,  the  whole  fam.  suffer. 
much,  fines  and  imprison,  fell  on  all,  and  the  d.  Clarissa  was  subj.  to  gr. 
severity.  When  the  fines  of  Daniel  and  Provided  were  unpaid,  the 
tender-hearted  Gen.  Court,  with  intent  to  magnify  the  glory  of  God, 
order,  them  to  be  sold  for  slaves  to  any  Christians  in  Virg.  or  Barbados. 
We  are  permit,  to  rejoice,  that  the  sentence  was  not  enforc.  and  the  f. 
with  his  flock  found  refuge  at  Shelter  isl.  near  the  East  end  of  L.  I.

349,  366,  7,  and  410.  Much  as  they  might  love  their  native  Id.  the  dan

may  be  deriv.  from  wise  use  of  a  few  words  in  the  note  of  Mr.  Hun 
ter,  on  pp.  6  and  7  of  "The  founders  of  New  Plymouth,"  Ed.  1854: 
"  mere  possess,  of  a  surname  wh.  coincides  with  that  of  an  Eng.  fam.  is 
no  proof  of  connex.  with  that  fam.  Claims  of  alliance  found,  on  this 
basis  are  not  the  legitimate  offspring  of  laborious  genealog.  inquiry,  but 
of  self-love  and  the  desire  to  found  a  reputa.  for  ancestorial  honor 
where  no  such  honor  is  really  due."  Well  is  the  topic  explain,  in 
further  remarks,  found,  on  experience  of  more  than  one  gross  case  of 
indecent  pretension.

he  had  liv.  in  some  part  of  the  Col.  a  dozen  yrs.  bef.  for  he  was  freem.

my  conject.  is  that  he  is  one  of  the  few  that  came  over  aft.  the  restorat. 
of  Charles  II.  and  had  w.  and  some  ch.  soon  aft.  Perhaps  his  w.  was

Michael  as  an  inhab.  of  Hartford,  on  Mill  str.  1645  ;  but  I  conject.  that

Mar.  1637  been  serv.  or  apprent.  to  John  Combe,  and  aft.  d.  of  C.  was

SPRAGUE,  ANTHONY,  Hingham,  eldest  s.  of  William  of  the  same,  m. 
26  Dec.  1661,  Eliz.  d.  of  Robert  Bartlett  of  Plymouth,  had  Anthony, 
Benjamin,  John,  Eliz.  Samuel,  Sarah,  James,  Josiah,  Jeremiah,  Richard, 
and  Matthew,  as  in  the  Sprague  Geneal.  rank. ;  but  some  d.  young,  and

Richard,  James,  Samuel,  Matthew,  Josiah,  and  Jeremiah,  beside  d.  Sarah 
Bates,  w.  of  Caleb.  He  d.  3  Sept.  1719.  His  house  was  burn.  20  Apr. 
1676  by  the  Ind.  in  Philip's  war.  Of  this  branch,  of  Anthony,  thro. 
Jeremiah,  the  seventh  s.  is  the  celebr.  poet,  Charles,  descend.  EDWARD, 
Maiden,  youngest  s.  of  the  first  John  m.  24  Nov.  1693,  Dorothy,  d.  of 
Job  Lane  of  the  same,  had  William,  b.  4  Sept.  1695  ;  Ann,  20  Mar. 
1697;  Dorothy,  9  Sept.  1698;  and  d.  13  Apr.  1715.  FRANCIS,  Ply 
mouth,  came  with  w.  and  a  d.  in  the  Ann  1623,  but  the  names,  Ann,  and 
Mercy,  are  all  that  are  giv.  in  1627,  at  the  div.  of  cattle,  so  that  it  is 
infer,  that  he  left  other  ch.  abroad,  perhaps  had  John,  or  more  b.  here ; 
and  at  P.  was  tax.  1633  and  4,  but  aft.  was  of  Duxbury.  He  was  liv. 
in  1666,  as  Winsor  says,  and  he  names  the  ch.  John,  Ann,  Mary,  and 
Mercy.  This  last,  he  tells,  m.  9  Nov.  1637,  William  Tubbs ;  and  one 
of  the  others  m.  Robert  Lawrence ;  but  I  kn.  no  such  man,  and  casually 
turn,  (three  yrs.  aft.  writ,  this  maledict.)  from  p.  317  to  275,  of  Winsor, 
obs.  that  he  calls  him  William.  He  was  one  of  the  orig.  purch.  of  Dart 
mouth.  *  JOHN,  Maiden,  eldest  s.  of  Ralph,  b.  in  Eng.  freem.  1653,  m. 
2  May  1651,  Lydia,  d.  of  Edward  Goffe  of  Cambridge,  brot.  from  Eng. 
had  John,  b.  9  Mar.  1651;  Lydia;  Jonathan,  b.  Oct.  1656;  Samuel,

1703.  The  wid.  d.  11  Dec.  1715.  A  will  of  his  br.  Richard,  wh. 
outliv.  him,  in  1703,  gives  to  five  s.  of  this  John,  wh.  was  rep.  1689,  90, 
and  1.  JOHN,  Duxbury,  only  s.  of  Francis,  liv.  first  at  Marshfield,  but 
d.  in  D. ;  m.  1655,  Ruth,  d.  of  William  Bassett,  had  John;  William; 
Samuel;  Ruth,  b.  12  Feb.  1659;  Eliz.;  Desire;  and  Dorcas ;  was  k. 
in  Philip's  war,  26  Mar.  1676,  under  Pierce,  at  the  fierce  fight  of  Paw- 
tucket.  JOHN,  Plymouth  and  Duxbury,  in  Hutch.  I.  354  call,  one  of 
the  counc.  to  Sir  Edmund  Andros,  was  perhaps  s.  of  William,  and  if  this 
be  true,  he  m.  13  Dec.  1666,  Eliz.  Holbrook,  and  Hosea  S.  in  his 
Geneal.  tells  no  more,  but  that  he  sold  in  1682  his  est.  at  Hinghara,  and  d.

at  Mendon  1690.  Yet  there  is,  in  my  opin.  very  slight  reason  for  think, 
the  s.  of  William  of  Hingham  to  be  the  counsellor.  Judge  Mitchell 
refers  to  the  will  of  the  Hingham  man,  of  1 683,  as  it  ment.  his  ch.  John, 
William,  Ebenezer,  Eliz.,  Hannah,  Milicent,  and  Persis.  JOHN,  Mai 
den,  eldest  s.  of  John  of  the  same,  by  w.  Eliz.  had  John,  b.  28  July 
1685;  Abiah,  21  Aug.  1687;  Mary,  27  Nov.  1689;  was  freem.  1690; 
and  he  d.  June  1692.  JONATHAN,  Weymouth,  s.  of  William  of  Hing 
ham,  by  w.  Eliz.  had  Eliz.  b.  21  July  1670  ;  rem.  to  R.  I.  by  fam.  tradit. 
and  may  be  the  same,  wh.  at  Providence  had  preach,  in  the  early  part  of 
18th  centu.  was  town  elk.  in  1722,  and  perhaps  d.  at  Smithfield,  Jan. 
1741,  aged  92.  JONATHAN,  Maiden,  s.  of  the  first  John  of  the  same,  by 
w.  Mary  had  Richard,  b.  28  June  1686 ;  John,  7  May  1689  ;  Joseph,  24 
Oct.  1691;  Nathan,  2  Feb.  1694;  Hannah,  and  Mary,  tw.  25  May 
1696  ;  David,  15  Aug.  1698  ;  and  was  freem.  1690.  PHINEAS,  Maiden, 
youngest  s.  of  Ralph,  freem.  1690,  m.  11  Dec.  1661,  Mary  Carrington, 
perhaps  d.  of  Edward,  wh.  brot.  him  no  ch.  and  d.  7  Dec.  1667  ;  but  by 
sec.  w.  m.  5  Jan.  1670,  Sarah  Hasey,  perhaps  d.  of  William,  had 
Phineas,  b.  27  Dec.  foil.  William,  21  Nov.  1672;  Ralph,  Nov.  1674; 
Sarah,  23  Apr.  1686;  Joanna,  17  Apr.  1688;  and  Abigail,  2  Mar. 
1690.  But  my  suspicion  is  strong,  that  the  three  last  belong  to  the  other 
man  of  the  same  name  in  that  town.  He  took  the  o.  of  fidel.  15  Dec. 
1674,  and  was  rep.  1689  and  90.  PHINEAS,  Maiden,  prob.  s.  of  the  first 
John,  by  w.  Eliz.  had  Eliz.  b.  11  Oct.  1691 ;  Mary,  15  Oct.  1693  ;  Tab- 
itha,  19  Oct.  1696;  and  I  find  nothing  more  of  him.  *  ||  RALPH, 
Charlestown  1629,  came  prob.  with  w.  Joan,  and  s.  John  and  Richard, 
that  yr.  in  the  fleet  with  Higginson,  certain,  with  brs.  Richard,  and  prob. 
William.  They  were  s.  of  Edward  prob.  of  Upway  in  Devonshire. 
Sometimes  it  has  been  thot.  that  these  gent,  were  passeng.  in  1 628,  with 
Endicott,  but  to  me  it  seems  more  likely  that,  as  they  came,  paying  their 
own  charges,  they  were  in  the  fleet  of  1629.  With  Endicott,  in  the 
Abigail,  beside  his  fam.  and  serv.  there  were  not,  I  suppose,  over  twenty, 
includ.  men,  women,  and  ch.  and  most  of  them  sent  by  the  adventurers 
in  London,  as  the  first  sh.  for  the  planta.  would  naturally  be  occup.  in 
transport,  of  persons  wh.  they  should  wholly  control.  The  much  larger 
exped.  aft.  gr.  of  the  chart,  in  1629  had,  also,  wider  views  of  policy,  and 
in  obedience  to  the  direct,  of  the  officers  of  the  comp.  at  home  the 
Spragues,  wh.  came  at  their  own  charge,  were  sent  by  Endicott  to  take 
up  the  lands  at  C.  but  we  kn.  that  the  compiler  of  the  Charlestown  rec. 
threw  back  his  narra.  of  early  transact,  by  one  yr.  mak.  Winth.  and  the 
gr.  body  of  our  early  sett,  come  in  1629.  As  the  Spragues  came  one 
yr.  bef.  Winth.  Mr.  Green,  the  compiler  of  that  MS.  compliment,  by 
Prince  and  most  of  us  as  the  first  rec.  of  C.  natural,  gave  them  the

date  1628,  and  on  the  same  premises  our  confidence  reposes,  that  the  true 
yr.  was  1629.  He  had  w.  Joan,  and  the  Nos.  of  hims.  and  her  on  our  ch. 
list  are  102  and  3.  He  had  Samuel,  bapt.  3  June  1632,  but  he  may 
have  been  b.  many  mos.  for  this  was  the  sixth  ch.  nam.  in  our  list,  and 
the  rite  had  not  been  perform,  since  Nov.  1 630,  by  reason  of  the  abs.  of 
Wilson  the  pastor,  wh.  came  back  from  Eng.  the  wk.  bef.  this  bapt.  He 
and  Ms  w.  were  of  the  33,  wh.  had  desir.  dismiss,  from  the  congr.  of  Boston 
"to  enter  into  a  new  ch.  body -at  C."  and  were  dismiss.  14  Oct.  1632  ; 
and  his  d.  Mary  was  bapt.  14  Sept.  1634;  s.  Phineas,  31  July  1637. 
He  had  sprung,  I  imagine,  from  Dorsetsh.  and  own.  Ids.  in  Upway  of 
that  Co.  as  by  let.  of  25  Mar.  1651  from  his  f.-in-law,  John  Corbin,  at 
that  parish,  appears.  On  19  Oct.  1630  he  req.  adm.  and  18  May  foil, 
was  sw.  as  freem.  made  constable  at  the  Gen.  Ct.  Oct.  1630,  serg.  lieut.

an  assemb.  and  very  freq.  aft. ;  ar.  co.  1639  ;  but  I  believe  that  in  later 
days  he  liv.  on  Mistick  side,  or  Maiden,  for  his  name  is  in  a  commiss.  to 
sett,  bounds  there,  and  he  d.  Nov.  1650,  and  his  s.  Jonathan  next  mo. 
and  the  name  of  his  wid.  is  the  sec.  on  the  women's  memo,  to  the  Gen. 
Ct.  1651  in  favor  of  Matthews;  and  she  may  have  m.  eleven  yrs.  later 
Edward  Converse  of  Woburn.  Mary,  his  d.  in.  Daniel  Edmunds,  oft. 
writ.  Edmands,  and  in  the  will  of  her  br.  Capt.  Richard  has  good  provis.

Oct.  1632,  to  form  new  ch.  at  C.  in  1637  took  side  with  Wheelwright, 
and  sign,  the  remonstr.  against  the  proceed,  of  the  Ct.  but  on  express, 
his  regret,  the  signa.  was  eras. ;  was  of  ar.  co.  1639,  capt.  rep.  1659  and 
sev.  yrs.  more,  prob.  had  no.  ch.  and  d.  25  Nov.  1668,  aged  63.  His

Phineas,  s.  of  his  br.  Ralph,  his  br.  William  of  Hingham,  and  gave  to 
Harv.  Coll.  30  ewes  with  their  lambs.  By  the  will  of  his  wid.  12  Nov. 
1671,  pro.  16  June  1674,  we  gain  a  fine  fam.  crop.  It  names  kinsmen, 
lieut.  John,  Samuel,  and  Phineas  Sprague ;  kinsman  Nathaniel  Rand, 
and  his  s.  Nathaniel ;  kinsman,  Lawrence  Dowse  and  his  two  ds.  Eliz.

STACY,  STACE,  STACIE,  or  STACET,  sometimes  STASY,  HENRY,  Mar-

Possib.  it  was  ano.  of  the  same  bapt.  name ;  and  he  may  have  gone

STAFFORD,  JOSEPH,  Warwick,  s.  prob.  youngest,  of  Thomas,  m. 
Sarah,  fourth  d.  of  Eandall  Houlden,  had  three  s.  and  four  ds.  certain, 
for  the  wills  of  hims.  and  of  his  w.  give  the  names  of  Stukely,  Joseph, 
and  John,  beside  ds.  Francis  Congdon,  Eliz.  Case,  Margaret  Place, 
and  Sarah  Smith.  J  *  SAMUEL,  Warwick,  s.  of  Thomas  of  the  same, 
m.  Mercy,  d.  of  Stukely  Westcott ;  had,  as  in  Friend's  rec.  at  Newport 
is  seen,  Stukely,  b.  7  Nov.  1661 ;  Amos,  8  Nov.  1665  ;  Mercy,  8  July 
1668  ;  Sarah,  18  Apr.  1671 ;  and  Samuel,  19  Nov.  1673  ;  but  other  ch. 
he  had,  as  nam.  in  his  will,  where  the  first,  third,  and  fifth  of  that  rec. 
are  not  seen,  leav.  us  the  right  of  conject.  that  those  were  d.  bef.  him. 
Substitutes  for  them  appear  in  Thomas,  the  youngest,  Patience,  w.  of 
Howland,  Freelove,  w.  of  Tillinghast,  and  Eliz.  w.  of  Devotion.  Amos 
is  call,  the  eldest  s.  and  Sarah,  eldest  d.  nam.  Scranton.  Gr.  ch.  too,  are 
found,  Mercy  Thurbar,  and  Mary  Stafford,  claim,  the  testator's  regard. 
He  was  oft.  rep.  in  1674  was  chos.  an  Assist,  and  d.  20  Mar.  1718,  aged 
82.  THOMAS,  Newport  or  Portsmouth  1638,  said  to  have  been  b.  1605, 
and  to  have  come  to  Plymouth  1626,  and  to  have  built  there  the  first 
mill  for  grind,  corn  by  water,  but  this  seems  very  loose  rep.  and  the  Col. 
rec.  that  refer  to  the  first  mill  aft.  June  1635,  do  not  ment.  him.  He 
is  found  at  Warwick  1652,  among  the  freem.  there  1655,  rem.  I  presume 
to  Conn,  whose  Gen.  Ct.  gr.  him,  1674,  fifty  acres;  but  he  had  been  at 
New  London  as  early  as  1662,  and  was  at  W.  to  end  his  days  1677. 
He  made  his  will  4  Nov.  1677,  and  d.  soon  aft.  had  Sarah,  wh.  m.  13 
July  1667,  and  Deborah,  wh.  m.  9  June  1670,  both  to  Amos  Westcott ; 
Samuel ;  and  Joseph.  His  will  names  w.  Eliz.  eldest  s.  Thomas,  and  d. 
Hannah,  w.  of  Luke  Bromley,  beside  the  others.  Claim  was  assert,  by 
him  to  be  "  of  the  blood  of  the  Stafford,"  but  of  wh.  Stafford  is  less  clear, 
and  prob.  unimport.  tho.  he  perhaps  had  a  coat  of  arms.  THOMAS, 
Warwick,  s.  of  the  preced.  m.  28  Dec.  1671,  Jane  Dodge,  had  Thomas, 
and  William,  but  no  dates  are  told,  either  of  their  or  his  own  b.  nor  can 
the  f.  of  w.  be  trac. 

STAGPOLE,  JAMES,  Dover,  had  a  gr.  as  Mr.  Quint  tells,  1694,  but  he 
says  that  he  was  b.  1 653,  meaning,  I  suppose,  in  Eng.  Possib.  this 
name  has  become  Stackpole. 

STAINES,  RICHARD,  Boston  1654,  sailmaker,  had  w.  Joice,  and  ch. 
Sarah,  b.  16  Nov.  1655;  Thomas,  16  Aug.  1658;  Richard,  3  Dec.

Martha,  bapt.  11  Mar.  1649  ;  and  d.  27  Sept.  1652.  His  wid.  was  bur. 
28  Sept.  1685,  says  Sewall  in  his  Diary.  Yet  this  is  giv.  by  my  con- 
ject.  only,  for  there  was  WILLIAM  of  Boston,  wh.  had  Sarah  bapt.  in 
right  of  his  w.  1  June  1651,  if  the  rec.  be  trust,  wh.  is  not  in  my  opin.

376.  |  MILES,  or  MYLES,  Duxbury,  the  celebr.  capt.  of  the  pilgr.  of  the 
Mayflower,  was  b.  in  Lancashire,  being  a  cadet,  it  was  said,  of  the  old 
house -of  Standish,  long  estab.  with  good  landed  possess,  at  Duxbury,  a 
town  of  the  parish  of  Standish  in  that  Co.  close  to  Wigan,  9  ms.  from 
Bolton,  and  a.  20  ms.  N.  E.  of  Liverpool.  He  had  been  at  Leyden 
some  yrs.  bef.  the  emb.  1620,  but  we  are  ign.  whether  he  had  ch.  at  that 
time,  tho.  certain  that  he  brot.  nobody,  beside  w.  Rose,  wh.  d.  29  Jan. 
one  mo.  aft.  the  land.  His  next  w.  Barbara,  came  in  the  Ann  1623,  and 
was  prob.  the  mo.  of  some  that  were  d.  and  of  all  his  ch.  as  nam.  in  his 
will  of  7  Mar.  1656,  Alexander,  Miles,  Josiah,  and  Charles,  beside  d. 
Lora.  Of  these  last  two,  we  kn.  nothing,  and  if  indulg.  in  conject.  we 
might  assume  only,  that  both  were  old  eno.  to  have  been  notic.  in  the 
ensuing  days.  He  was  constant,  engag.  in  public  serv.  and  for  19  yrs. 
was  an  assist,  and  had  a  mission  to  London  in  1625,  where  he  could 
effect  little  on  acco.  of  the  raging  of  the  plague,  and  early  in  the  spring 
foil,  he  came  back.  Of  his  character,  wh.  partook,  in  no  small  degree, 
of  the  ancient  heroic,  Belknap  in  Americ.  Biog.  furnishes  excellent 
illustr.  and  just  analysis.  He  d.  3  Oct.  1656.  A  copy  of  his  will  and 
inv.  may  be  seen  in  Geneal.  Reg.  V.  335-8.  MILES,  Boston,  s.  of  the

call.  Stannion,  a  glover,  passeng.  in  the  Planter  from  London  1635,  was

THOMAS,  Concord  1644,  of  wh.  I  have  nothing,  exc.  a  suggest,  on 
Farmer's  interleav.  copy,  that  he  may  have  been  at  Casco  1658. 
THOMAS,  Charlestown,  had  David,  Richard,  Rebecca,  and  Eliz.  all  bapt.

Of  those  ch.  the  ages  were  8,  5,  2,  and  1 ;  and  aft.  he  had  bapt.  Samuel, 
8  June  1690  ;  and  Martha,  26  Feb.  1693.  Perhaps  this  was  the  same  as 
Stanford,  for  so  Morton,  the  min.  of  C.  wrote  it,  but  as  he  was  lately 
come  from  Eng.  it  is  uncert.  Wid.  Sarah  S.  d.  at  C.  11  Dec.  1707.

1669,  may  be,  tho.  not  prob.  that  s.-in-law  of  William  Mead  of  Roxbury, 
in  whose  will  of  1683  he  is  nam.  "tho.  undutiful,"  for  we  can  hardly 
doubt,  that  our  Stonington  man  had  some  yrs.  bef.  m.  Hannah  Lord,  or 
even  third  w.  a  Prentice.  But  no  ch.  is  giv.  him.  ROBERT,  Newport, 
adm.  an  inhab.  early  in  1639,  on  the  freem.'s  list  1655,  by  w.  Avis  had 
John  b.  Aug.  1645.  He  was  perhaps  br.  of  the  elder  Thomas,  yet  we 
must  not  be  too  confident,  for  Farmer  ment.  a  ROBERT  of  Dorchester 
wh.  as  I  find  had  Thomas,  and  whose  d.  Prudence  was  b.  14  June  1659; 
but  he  was  of  town's  poor  1689.  ROBERT,  s.  of  the  first  Thomas  his 
youngest  but  one,  the  ch.  mem.  of  1677,  was  that  youthful  soldier,  1676, 
to  wh.  the  Ind.  capt.  prince  Nanunteno  made  reproachf.  ansr.  as  Hub-

STANYAN,  STANNYAN,  STANIAN,  or  STANION,  ANTHONY,  Boston,  had 
been  of  Exeter,  by  w.  Mary,  says  our  town  rec.  had  John,  b.  16,  bapt.

first  sett,  of  Mendon  1663.  His  wid.  is  nam.  in  the  will  of  her  f.  27  Mar. 
1691.  ABRAHAM,  Dorchester  1658,  rem.  to  Weymouth  1660,  thence  to 
Mendon,  was  freem.  1673,  by  w.  Hannah  had  Ephraim,  b.  2  Sept.  1678 ; 
and  Mary,  8  Feb.  1681 ;  by  w.  Mary  had  Benjamin,  27  Dec.  1682  ;  and 
Hannah,  13  May  1686;  but  by  a  third  w.  Mehitable,  perhaps,  he  had 
Mehitable,  19  Dec.  1689,  d.  soon  ;  Mehitable,  again,  20  May  1692  ;  Isaac, 
10  June  1699  ;  Abraham,  12  Apr.  1702,  and  Abraham,  again,  3  Apr. 
1706.  If  it  be  object,  that  these  three  ws.  hav.  ch.  seem  too  much  for 
one  man's  felicity,  conject.  may  be  indulg.  that  the  h.  of  the  last  w.  may 
have  been  s.  of  the  former  Abraham.  EDWARD,  Braintree,  early,  says 
Farmer.  JEFFREY,  Weymouth,  had  Martha,  wh.  was  bur.  17  Feb.  1640.

W.  from  Braintree,  where  one  John  d.  30  Aug.  1692,  and  ano.  John  d. 
5  Nov.  1700.  JOSEPH,  Taunton,  prob.  s.  of  John  the  first  of  Wey-

26  Jan.  1678;  Joseph,  12  Mar.  1680;  Hannah,  17  May  1682;  and 
Nathaniel,  22  Mar.  1685.  SAMUEL,  Braintree,  m.  30  Aug.  1652, 
Mary  Coles,  had  Mary,  b.  24  Sept.  1655  ;  Rachel,  31  Oct.  1657  ;  and 
Sarah,  10  July  1660.  THOMAS,  Fairfield  1645,  is  on  freem.'s  list  1669. 
He  had  by  w.  Mary,  Thomas ;  Mary,  wh.  m.  Josiah  Harvey  ;  ano.  d. 
m.  John  Beach  ;  Mehitable  ;  and  John  ;  but  the  order  of  success,  is  not 
kn.  He  d.  bef.  1688  ;  was  a  man  of  import,  and  spirit  eno.  to  prosecute 
Dept.  Gov.  Ludlow,  not  long  bef.  his  rem.  to  Virg.  for  defam.  in  report, 
that  the  w.  of  S.  was  a  witch.  The  trial  for  satisfact.  of  both  parties 
was  in  the  neighb.  Col.  of  New  Haven,  where  the  Court  wisely  held, 
"  that  there  was  no  proof  that  goodvv.  S.  was  a  witch,"  mulct.  L.  to 
pay  £10  to  the  h.  for  repar.  of  his  w's.  name,  and  £5  for  his  trouble 
and  cost.  Happily  in  a  later  day  the  New  Haven  Col.  pass,  unharm. 
by  the  doleful  delus.  spread  in  Mass,  by  rampant  vanity  and  insane 
apprehension.  Four  of  this  name  had,  in  1834,  been  gr.  at  Yale,  and 
three  at  some  other  N.  E.  coll.  says  Farmer. 

STAPLETON,  SAMUEL,  Newport,  came  from  London,  hav.  m.  Mary 
White  of  Newport  Pagnel,  Co.  Bucks,  and  here  had  Mary,  b.  7  Feb.

FORT,  Cambridge,  surgeon,  or  physician,  of  Ashford  in  Co.  Kent,  came 
in  the  Hercules  1635,  from  Sandwich,  with  three  ch.  and  three  serv. 
and  prob.  w.  Eliz.  perhaps  had  one  or  more  ch.  in  this  country  ;  was  of

Eng.  where  he  was  b.  a.  1 624,  educ.  at  Harv.  Coll.  where  he  took  his 
A.  B.  1647,  in  the  Catal.  call.  Consolantius,  is  one  of  the  five  fellows 
nam.  in  the  Chart,  of  H.  C.  in  1650,  and  soon  went  home,  and  was 
benefic.  at  Carlisle,  Co.  Cumberland,  and  from  that  liv.  eject,  by  the 
Act  of  Uniform.  1662,  retn.  to  a  preach,  station  at  Lewes,  Co.  Sussex, 
where  he  d.  says  Calamy,  1711.  COMFORT,  Middletown,  s.  of  Thomas 
of  Charlestown,  m.  Rachel  Harris,  had  Comfort,  b.  1670  ;  Mary,  1672 ; 
Hannah,  24  Mar.  1674;  Joseph,  1676;  Benjamin,  1679;  Rachel, 
1681;  Thomas,  1684;  and  Daniel,  1689;  Hinman,  239,  mak.  his  wid. 
Mary,  when  he  d.  18  Oct.  1693.  But  I  judge,  that  he  was  first  of  Bos 
ton,  here  by  w.  Mary,  prob.  d.  of  Joseph  Weld,  as  more  exactly  our 
rec.  show,  bef.  his  rem.  had  Comfort,  b.  15. Nov.  1666  ;  Joseph,  7  Mar. 
1668,  perhaps  d.  soon;  Mary,  14  Mar.  1669,  d.  soon;  and  Mary,  again, 
18  Jan.  1672.  Of  course  this  Comfort  of  Boston  might  be  thot.  a 
differ,  man  from  him  of  M. ;  yet  he  could  hardly  be  that  Comfort,  the 
gr.  of  Harv.  But  he  may,  in  spite  of  Hinman,  well  be  the  Middletown 
man.  COMFORT,  Dedham,  prob.  s.  of  John  of  Boston,  m.  Mary,  d.  of 
the  sec.  Simon  Stone  of  Watertown,  had  a  ch.  bapt.  20  Feb.  1 687 ;

earlier  w.  and  a  d.  that  Winsor  names,  I  find  no  trace.  JOHN,  Boston, 
s.  of  the  first  Comfort,  prob.  b.  in  Eng.  had,  says  Winsor,  been  at  Dux- 
bury  1643,  and  Bridgewater  1645,  by  w.  Martha  had  Comfort,  b.  4  Feb. 
1662;  John,  7  Dec.  1664;  Comfort,  again,  15  Nov.  1666;  and  Benja

was  k.  by  the  Ind.  in  Philip's  war,  may  have  been  s.  of  William  of 
Lynn,  and  his  inv.  was  pro.  at  Essex  prob.  Ct.  on  24  June  1679.

Comfort,  bapt.  Aug.  1671;  Jonathan,  1674;  and  Benjamin,  1679. 
Miss  Caulkins,  with  good  reason,  thinks  him  eldest  s.  of  Thomas,  and 
that  he  d.  early  in  1688,  for  his  wid.  execut.  a  deed  2  Feb.  of  that  yr. 
He  prob.  is  that  kinsman,  to  wh.  his  gr.f.  gave  the  "  Book  of  Martyrs." 
His  s.  Thomas,  Jonathan,  and  Benjamin  contin.  the  name  at  N.  L.  and 
Norwich.  The  progeny  of  Jonathan  have  been  not.  for  longev. 
THOMAS,  Boston,  younger  br.  of  the  first  Comfort,  a  surgeon,  had  come 
prob.  soon  aft.  or  even  with  him,  from  Canterbury,  Co.  Kent,  and  brot. 
w.  Susan,  and  one  ch.  serv.  as  our  Col.  rec.  shows,  in  the  Pequot  war, 
1637,  and  d.  perhaps  1640,  for  in  Mar.  1641,  his  w.  Susan  had  gr.  of 
admin,  by  our  Gen.  Ct.  THOMAS,  Duxbury  1639,  s.  of  the  first  Com

and  liv.  at  Scituate,  where  his  s.  Comfort  was  b.  in  1644,  and  Eliz.  in 
1646;  but  rem.  again  to  Yarmouth,  where  he  had  former,  been,  for  he

STARKEY,  GEORGE,  H.  C.  1646,  may  have  been  of  Lynn,  or  Maiden, 
but  very  little  ground  in  favor  of  either  is  discernab.  Nor  is  any

Sewall,  in  his  Diary,  as  d.  early  in  Aug.  1693.  Of  the  gr.  historic

oners  of  war  from  the  sad  field  of  3  Sept.  1651,  at  Worcester,  Crom 
well's  crowning  mercy,  sent  to  Boston,  where  they  arr.  13  May  1652,  to 
be  sold,  but  not  to  perpet.  servit.  as  John  Cotton  gently  suggests  to 
Oliver.  I  can  feel  no  doubt,  that  the  gr.  majority,  betw.  three  quarters 
and  nine  tenths,  d.  of  scurvy  or  broken  heart ;  and  not  one  in  fifty  of 
these  young  men  left  progeny.

STILEMAN,  or  STYLEMAN,  ELIAS,  Salem,  an  early  sett,  even,  as  Felt

office  have  only  Skarlet  and  Shrimpton  of  that  initial  fam.  letter,  and 
not  one  Elias.  He  was  almost  always  in  office;  was  rep.  1667  and  five 
yrs.  more,  a  counsel,  under  Presid.  Cutt,  or  Gov.  Cranfield,  1681  or  2  a

nah  31  July  1708.  FRANCIS,  Windsor  1636,  one  of  the  first  freem. 
of  Conn.  1640,  had  come  from  London,  where  he  was  a  carpenter, 
early  in  the  yr.  preced.  aged  35,  in  the  Christian,  and  sat  down  short 
time  at  Dorchester.  Prob.  he  was  s.  of  Thomas  of  Milbrook,  near 
Ampthill  in  Co.  Bedford,  bapt.  1  Aug.  1602,  wh.  makes  us  presume, 
that  the  age  of  the  London  rec.  should  be  33,  as  the  reg.  of  the  parish, 
certif.  to  me  by  the  min.  in  1842,  deserves  much  higher  credit  than  that 
of  the  custom  ho.  I  presume  he  brot.  w.  Rachel,  unless  she  was  sis.  aged 
28,  but  two  ws.  and  two  ch.  beside  the  four  brs.  in  the  same  sh.  are 
diffic.  to  be  appropr.  Cothren,  p.  694,  makes  him,  from  fam.  tradit.  to  be 
engag.  in  prepar.  of  a  park  for  Richard  Saltonstall,  not  Sir  Richard,  wh. 
is  a  mistake,  for  Suffk.  regr  of  deeds,  Vol.  I.  98,  has  the  release  of  all 
demands  by  him  up  to  date  of  Sept.  1647,  as  well  against  Sir  Richard, 
as  s.  Robert.  He  work.  I  suppose  under  direct,  of  Robert,  wh.  was  less 
judicious  than  his  elder  br.  He  made  over  to  Robert  Saltonstall,  by 
deed  dat.  22  Sept.  1647  all  his  Ids.  at  W.  includ.  1500  acr.  in  one  parcel 
on  the  E.  side  of  the  riv.  but  the  debt  exceed  the  val.  He  then  calls 
hims.  of  Saybrook,  yet  bee.  three  of  his  four  s.  were  aft.  at  Stratford.

Cothren  tells,  that  he  rem.  a.  1640  to  Stratford-,  wh.  must  be  sev.  yrs. 
too  early  (as  tradit.  oft.  is),  for  Ephraim  was  b.  at  W.  3  Aug.  1645,  and 
his  is  the  only  b.  found  in  the  old  rec.  He  was  never  of  S.  and  he 
prob.  at  W.  d.  1653,  or  earlier.  Of  childr.  he  had  Ephraim,  Samuel, 
Benjamin,  Thomas,  Hannah,  and  Mary,  wh.  m.  Hope  Washburn  of 
Derby;  Hannah  m.  Edward  Hinman.  Her  mo.  was  Sarah,  as  Hin- 
man,  141,  tells.  She  m.  Robert  Clark  of  Stratford,  and  by  her  will  of 
5  June  1677  left  little  prop,  to  disp.  among  her  ch.  The  inv.  of  2  Feb. 
1682,  showing  only  £85.  HENRY,  Windsor,  eldest  br.  of  the  preced. 
bapt.  27  Nov.  1593,  at  Milbrook,  near  Ampthill  in  Co.  Bedford,  a  car 
penter,  adm.  to  be  citizen  of -London  on  2d  Tuesday  of  Apr.  1632,  emb. 
in  the  Christian,  at  London,  Mar.  1 635,  aged  40,  says  the  London  cus 
tom  ho.  rec.  with  John,  Thomas,  and  Francis,  his  brs.  also,  and  went 
with  the  earliest  migrat.  from  Dorchester,  where  he  could  have  liv. 
but  few  mos.  was  never  m.  is  nam.  on  the  first  page  of  Conn.  rec.  as 
hav.  trad,  a  musket  with  an  Ind.  in  Apr.  1636,  which  he  was  direct,  to 
regain.  He  was  k.  by  casual  shot  of  a  gun  in  a  milita.  train,  Cothren 
from  the  fam.  mem.  says,  3  Oct.  1651.  HENRY,  Windsor,  s.  of  John, 
brot.  by  his  f.  in  the  Christian  1635,  at  the  age  of  3  yrs.  freem.  1669; 
had  ch.  wh.  d.  with  the  mo.  whose  name  in  the  Stiles  MS.  is  call.  Ketch, 
of  Stratford;  and  for  sec.  w.  he  m.  16  Apr.  1663,  Eliz.  Wilcockson, 
prob.  d.  of  William,  had  Eliz.  b.  30  Nov.  1664;  Margaret,  6  Feb. 
1667;  Mary,  28  Sept.  1669;  Mindwell,  19  Dec.  1671,  wh.  d.  bef.  13 
yrs.;  and  Samuel,  16  May  1674.  To  these  Cothren  adds  Henry,  wh. 
was  the  first  b.  Joseph,  Benjamin,  John,  and  Jonathan,  but  without 
desirab.  dates  of  b.  tho.  of  some  he  gives  day  of  d.  and  approxim.  of 
age,  and  says  the  f.  d.  22  Aug.  1724,  aged  95,  wh.  is  perhaps  less 
exagger.  than  usual,  not  more  than  three  yrs.  too  large.  ISAAC,  Strat 
ford,  s.  of  John  the  first,  of  Windsor,  liv.  first  at  Wethersfield  1665,  and 
when  freem.  1670,  had,  says  Cothren,  from  Presdt.  Stiles's  MSS.  Isaac, 
b.  1663;  John;  Joseph;  Jonathan,  10  Mar.  1688;  Sarah;  Lydia  or 
Deborah ;  and  Hannah ;  but  he  is  not  able  to  inform  us  of  the  name  of 
the  mo.  or  dates  of  sev.  ch.  JOHN,  Windsor,  s.  of  Thomas,  bapt.  at  Mil- 
brook,  Co.  Bedford,  25  Dec.  1595,  came  with  his  brs.  Francis,  Henry, 
and  Thomas,  in  the  Christian  from  London,  Mar.  1635,  tho.  his  age  in 
the  custom  ho.  rec.  is  call.  35,  wh.  I  judge  to  be  liable  to  correct,  by 
exchang.  the  yrs.  of  Henry  and  John ;  he  also  brot.  w.  prob.  Jane,  aged 
35  ;  and  s.  Henry,  3  yrs.  and  John,  9  mos.  Of  course  he  first  liv.  at 
Dorchester  or  Boston,  and  prob.  rem.  with  others  of  D.  by  Id.  to  Conn. 
Beside  the  ch.  he  brot.  from  Eng.  he  had  Isaac,  and  Sarah,  and  d.  4 
June  1662.  His  wid.  whose  name  is  not  kn.  d.  3  Sept.  1674.  Cothren

claims  for  the  w.  of  John,  that  she  was  the  first  Eng.  woman  that  ever 
stept  ashore  at  Conn.  wh.  is  as  reasonab.  as  the  similar  stories  for  Mary 
Chilion  at  Plymouth,  and  Ann  Pollard  at  Boston.  JOHN,  Windsor,  s.  of 
the  preced.  b.  in  Eng.  m.  28  Oct.  1658,  Dorcas,  d.  perhaps  youngest,  of 
Henry  Burt  of  Springfield,  had  Sarah,  b.  12  Sept,  1661  ;  Hannah,  23 
Mar.  1664;  John,  10  Dec.  1665  ;  beside  Ephraim  and  Thomas,  not  rec. 
was  freem.  1668,  and  d.  8  Dec.  1683.  Hannah  m.  21  Jan.  1687,  Samuel 
Bliss  of  Springfield;  and  Sarah  m.  1  or  5  May  1681,  Ephraim  Ban 
croft,  and  next,  Thomas  Phillips.  JOHN,  Windsor,  eldest  s.  of  the  pre 
ced.  m.  Ruth  Bancroft,  had  Ruth,  b.  5  Feb.  1691  ;  John,  17  Dec.  1692; 
Margaret,  23  Feb.  1695;  Isaac,  30  July  1697;  Ebenezer,  7  Apr. 
1701  ;  Noah,  31  Jan.  1703  ;  Abel,  d.  soon  ;  Hannah,  and  ano.  tw.  both  d. 
soon,  as  had  a  pair  tw.  some  yrs.  bef. ;  Abel,  again,  5  or  10  Mar.  1709  ; 
Hannah,  again,  9  Oct.  1711  ;  and  Benoni,  1714,  d.  soon.  He  was  gr.f. 
of  Rev.  Ezra,  disting.  equal,  for  his  extensive  erudit.  and  amiable  cre 
dulity,  wh.  was  b.  29  Dec.  1727,  eldest  ch.  of  Isaac,  and  only  one  by  w. 
Kezia,  d.  of  Rev.  Edward  Taylor  of  Weslfield,  wh.  d.  five  days  aft. 
The  chronology  of  too  many  of  the  fourteen  ch.  belong,  to  John,  is  so 
strangely  confus.  in  Cothren,  697,  that  it  defies  restorat.  JOHN,  Box- 
ford,  freem.  1690,  may  have  been  s.  of  Robert  of  the  same.  JOHN, 
Dorchester  1692,  perhaps  was  s.  of  Robert  of  the  same;  but  certain, 
is  beyond  reach,  and  all  that  can  be  kn.  is,  that  his  w.  was  Mary,  that  he 
had  John,  Joseph,  Eliz.  Mary,  Nathaniel,  and  Nehemiah,  of  wh.  Joseph, 
Mary,  and  Nathaniel  d.  of  smallpox  in  the  fatal  season  of  Jan.  1721-2. 
ROBERT,  Boxford,  m.  4  Oct.  1660,  Eliz.  d.  of  John  Frye  of  Andover; 
was  of  Rowley  1661,  but  perhaps  rem.  to  Dorchester,  where  I  find  one 
of  this  name  1663,  yet  in  my  opin.  this  Dorchester  man  was  older  than 
him  of  B.  possib.  but  not  prob.  was  s.  of  John  the  first ;  and  inscript.  on 
gr.  stone  is  of  his  d.  2  Nov.  1710,  and  age,  a.  91,  that  may  seem  some 
thing  too  high.  SAMUEL,  Stratford,  br.  of  Benjamin,  in  the  freem.'s  list 
of  1669,  m.  31  Dec.  1664,  says  Cothren,  Eliz.  Sherwood,  but  d.  child 
less,  prob.  bef.  1682,  as  in  1673  he  had  agreed  with  others  to  begin  the 
sett,  of  Woodbury,  and  was  not  in  the  list  of  1682.  THOMAS,  youngest 
br.  of  Francis,  Henry,  and  John,  came  in  the  same  ship  with  them,  aged 
20,  says  the  custom  ho.  rec.  but  that  of  his  bapt.  7  Feb.  1613,  in  the 
native  parish,  would  give  him  two  yrs.  more.  Yet  it  would  be  of  higher 
interest,  to  kn.  where  he  liv.  on  our  side  of  the  water,  and  what  could 
be  told  of  him,  beyond  the  single  fact,  that,  at  the  assault  on  the  Pequods 
in  their  last  shelter  of  the  swamp,  1 637,  he  was  shot,  but  not  hurt,  by  an 
arrow  strik.  in  his  neckerchief.  See  Mason's  Hist,  of  that  war.  He 
may  have  been  of  Windsor,  but  it  is  at  least  equal,  prob.  that  he  was  of 
Dorchester,  neither  town  hav.  proof  or  presumpt.  in  its  favor.  Had  he

left  descend,  one  might  hope  to  hear  of  the  birth-place  of  the  ch. 
Some  slight  note  is  seen  in  Stiles's  MSS.  indeed  that  he  went  to  Flush 
ing,  L.  I.  had  two  ds.  no  s.  THOMAS,  Stratford,  s.  of  Francis,  had  w. 
wh.  d.  bef.  him,  but  no  ch.  and  he  d.  early  in  1G83.  THOMAS,  Windsor, 
youngest  s.  of  John  the  sec.  m.  Bethia  Hanmer,  d.  perhaps  of  John  of 
Scituate,  as  the  fam.  tradit.  may  indicate,  had  no  ch.  and  d.  1745. 
Eleven  of  this  name  had  been  gr.  at  Yale  in  1851,  and  one  at  Harv.

STIRK,  GEORGE,  the  gr.  of  Harv.  1646,  is  all  unkn.  to  us  by  f.  and 
mo.  br.  sis.  or  friend,  but  W.  Winthrop  on  his  Catal.  had  quot.  from  MS. 
of  Rev.  Andrew  Eliot,  "  that  Mr.  S.  was  an  emin.  chemist,  and  wrote 
sev.  Latin  treatis."  As  he  did  not  have  his  A.  M.  we  may  presume  he 
went  to  Eng.  early;  and  that  he  was  d.  1698  is  almost  our  whole  rec. 
of  his  life.  But  it  is  highly  prob.  that  the  true  name  was  Starkey,

and  he  d.  16  Mar.  1687,  "the  ancientest  shop-keeper  in  town,"  says

the  name  of  w.  nor  date  of  m.  nor  place  of  resid.  nor  number  of  ch.  nor

was,  wh.  liv.  at  Taunton,  at  least  there  m.  17  Feb.  1674,  Eliz.  Knapp,

no  doubt,  in  the  Mary  and  John,  or  next  mo.  in  the  fleet  with  Winth.

and  Joan  Allen,  for  wh.  he  was  fin.  £5,  tho.  some  yrs.  after  it  was

tak.  for  sec.  w.  Margaret,  wid.  of  Simon  Huntington,  wh.  says  the  Rox- 
bury  ch.  rec.  had  d.  on  the  voyage,  of  smallpox,  bef.  reach.  Boston  in 
1633),  the  planta.  of  Conn,  was  project,  by  many  people  of  Watertown,

later  in  my  opin.  (exc.  that  Windsor  town  and  ch.  rec.  mark  his  d.

this  time  was,  is  unkn.  or  what  ch.  he  had,  but  as  he  was  ens.  1636,  and 
in  1640  made  lieut.  the  freem.  on  the  list  of  1669,  may  well  seem  to  be 
a  s.  Hinman,  243,  says  he  d.  Sept.  1684,  leav.  good  est.  to  ch.  six  by 
name ;  but  as  the  names  all  agree  with  those  of  the  ch.  of  sec.  Thomas, 
I  doubt  not  the  other  circumstances  belong  to  him.  The  same  conclu 
sion  is  drawn  as  to  John,  wh.  follows  on  the  same  page.  For  this  first

portions  of  Mr.  Stoughton's  childr.  and  his  w.'s  27  Mar.  1643,  I  infer, 
that  he  d.  late  in  1642,  and  42  yrs.  earlier  than  Hinman's  date.  Yet  it

and  stud,  at  Oxford  Univ.  being  by  order  of  Parliam.  creat.  a  fellow  of 
New  Coll.  and  preach,  at  a  parish  in  Co.  Sussex,  says  Farmer,  but 
with  unkn.  authority,  and  by  Calamy  is  put  with  min.  eject,  for  losing 
his  fellowship  soon  aft.  the  restor.     Aft.  coming  back,  he  was  disting. 
for  preach,  the  Election  serm.  1668,  but  would  not  confine  his  powers 
to  the  pulpit ;  and  was  one  of  the  selectmen  1671-4,  an  Assist.  1671-86, 
some  yrs.  commissnr.  for  the  Unit.  Col.  and  in  the  end  of  Oct.   1677 
went,  with  Bulkley,  as  agent  to  defend  our  cause  at  London.     In  the 
gr.  contest  with  the  crown  he  lost  support  of  many  friends,  and  stood 
the  very  lowest  in  the  nominal,  of  the  eighteen  Assist,  in  1686,  being 
justly  suspect,  as  guilty  of  moderat.     He  was  appoint,  by  k.  James 
one  of  the  Counc.  to  Sir  E.  Andros,  but  partook  of  the  N.  E.  spirit, 
when  the  Gov.  was  depos.  and  so  gain,  the  favor  of  Mather,  that  he 
nominat.  him  for  lieut.  gov.  in  the  new  charter,  in  wh.  office,  as  also 
ch.  just,  in  1695,  he  contin.  till  his  d.  7  July  1701.     Unhap.  for  his 
reputa.  he  was  made  chief  in  1692  of  the  unlawful  special  court  of  oyer 
and  terminer  for  trials  of  witches  with  the  more  amiable  Sewall  and 
Saltonstall,  of  wh.  the  one  left  the  bench  in  disgust  at  the  outrages  on 
justice,  and  the  other  most   bitterly  repent,  in   public  sackcloth ;    but 
Stoughton,  a  bach,  was  made  of  sterner  stuff.     From  the  unerring  tri 
bunal  in  the  gr.  day  of  retrib.  justice,  he  may  receive  the  mercy  that 
he  knew  not  how  to  show ;  and  some  tenderness  might  be  felt  even  by 
fellow  mortals  for  his  murderous   proceeding  in  the  case  of  Rebecca 
Nurse,  did  not  such  conduct  in  a  judge,  aft.  verdict  of  acquittal,  neces 
sarily  stimulate  execration.     In  the  dark  rec.  of  criminal  adjudicat.  no

instance  can  be  found  to  parallel  his  blindness ;  yet  if  pity  for  delus.  in 
the  man  must  be  express,  what  excuse  may  be  fram.  for  ignorance  in  a 
magistrate  presid.  in  such  unlawful  tribunal.  See  Quincy  in  Hist,  of 
the  Univ.  I.  178-9.  He  join,  in  most  unseemly  union  the  various 
functions  of  legislat.,  judicial,  and  executive  authority ;  and  in  execut. 
of  his  sad  duty  he  was  so  virulent,  possessed  against  the  accused, *when 
he  heard  of  reprieve  of  some  under  sentence  of  d.  at  a  former  term,  as 
to  complain  of  obstruction  of  justice,  and  withdrew  from  the  Court. 
The  recall  of  Sir  William  Phips  left  him  in  chief  command  in  the  prov. 
until  arr.  of  Lord  Bellomont  in  1699,  and  he  had  the  gratifica.  of  lay 
ing  the  corner  stone  of  a  coll.  at  Cambridge,  built  at  his  cost,  and  honor, 
with  his  name.  Again  he  bee.  ch.  magistr.  on  d.  of  his  superior.  His 
monum.  in  the  grave-yard  at  D.  bears  a  long  inscript.  very  closely 
imitat.  from  that  of  the  learned  Pascal,  and  has  no  reference  to  the 
judicial  murders  at  Salem.  See  scrupul.  Eliot's  Biog.  Diet,  and  Quin- 
cy's  Hist.  Harv.  Coll.  In  his  will,  execut.  one  day  bef.  his  d.  pro.  23  of 
same  mo.  many  good  gifts  out  of  his  large  est.  are  made,  as  beside 
others,  £50  to  the  ch.  beside  two  pieces  of  plate,  £50  to  the  poor  of  the 
town,  and  £150  to  the  sch.  to  the  wid.  and  childr.  of  Rev.  John  Collins 
£100,  to  Rev.  John  Danforth,  wh.  m.  his  niece,  £50,  beside  a  negro 
slave,  and  an  orchard  to  his  w.  and  £300  to  Theophilus  Minot,  besides 
less  sums  to  other  relat.  and  made  William  Tailer,  his  neph.  afterwards 
lieut.  Gov.  and  nieces  Eliz.  Danforth,  Eliz.  Nelson,  and  Mehitable 
Cooper  Excors.  Of  Theophilus  Minot  I  find  no  other  ment.  and  am 
led  to  conject.  that  he  was  a  gr.ch.  of  the  testator's  elder  sis.  Hannah, 
wh.  had  m.  James  Minot.

when  one  John  S.  of  Capt.  Newberry's  comp.  was  wound,  near  the  end 
of  May,  and  cured  last  of  Jan.  foil.  tho.  this  soldier  may  have  been  a 
younger  man,  and  I  have  some  ground  for  presum.  that  John,  s.  of 
Roxbury  John,  was  d.  bef.  Sept.  1653,  and  perhaps  never  HI.  bee.  his 
brs.  Thomas,  Nathaniel,  and  Samuel  then  unit,  with  Hopestill  Foster, 
all  legatees  under  the  will  of  Rachel  Bigg  of  Dorchester,  in  a  composi 
tion  as  to  their  respect,  shares  in  est.  of  Smallhope  Bigg,  and  John  Bigg, 
their  uncles  in  Co.  Kent,  old  Eng.  and  it  is  almost  certain,  that  the  other 
brs.  of  those  three  must  have  had  equal  int.  beside  that  John  had  m.  a  d. 
of  Rachell  Bigg,  and  was  made  excor.  of  her  will.  JOHN,  Middletown,

once  as  witness  to  a  deed,  wh.  may  have  been  writ,  at  Hingham ;  and  it 
is  hardly  to  be  believ.  that  the  same  w.  wh.  bore  the  two  ch.  at  N.  had 
been  taken  at  D.  in  1630.  That  he  was  indeed  ever  resid.  at  D.  aft. 
1638,  can  be  surmis.  from  the  trifling  incident  only,  that  John  Hill  was 
m.  at  Boston  16  Jan.  1657  to  Eliz.  Strong  by  Humphrey  Atherton,  the 
Assist,  wh.  was  a  Dorchester  man.  Nor  is  it  more  prob.  as  the  tradit. 
ornaments  the  story,  that  he  came  from  Eng.  with  Warham  or  accomp. 
him  in  1636  to  W.  Hitchcock,  Parsons,  Cothren,  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII. 
180,  and  Emery  too  easily  adm.  such  relat.  in  my  opin.  that  relies  on 
the  powerful  contempo.  silence  of  his  br.-in-law,  Roger  Clap,  wh.  did 
come  in  that  sh.  and  m.  a  d.  of  his  fellow  passeng.  Thomas  Ford.  For 
the  modern  origin  of  these  improb.  tradit.  I  presume  that,  as  the  ancest. 
was  at  Windsor,  within  twelve  yrs.  of  its  settlem.  and  a  s.  of  his  m,  a 
Warham,  and  as  Ford  rem.  with  W.  to  Windsor  the  story  spread  grad. 
that  he  had  come  from  Eng.  to  Dorchester,  with  W.  and  accomp.  him  to 
his  next  home  in  Conn,  but  the  reporters  did  not  consider  two  points, 
that  many  people  were  of  Dorchester,  wh.  did  not  come  with  Warham, 
and  many  of  Windsor,  wh.  did  not  come  from  Dorchester.  In  McClure's 
acco.  of  sett,  of  Windsor,  writ,  in  1797,  pr.  1  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  V.  167, 
is  seen  the  list  of  the  sixteen  male  mem.  of  the  ch.  of  Dorchester  that

went  with  Warham  thither,  among  wh.  is  NO  Strong.  As  Roger  Clap 
had  m.  a  d.  of  Ford  two  or  three  yrs.  bef.  the  exodus,  the  d.  wh.  bee. 
the  sec.  w.  of  Strong,  as  it  seems  to  me  after  it,  may  have  contin.  at  D. 
to  comfort  her  sis.  and  avoid  the  perils  of  ano.  first  planting.  He  was  a 
tanner,  one  of  the  pillars  at  foundat.  of  ch.  Elder  1663,  and  his  w.  d.  6

STYCHE,  HENRY,  Lynn,  was  an  efficient  workman  at  the  iron  foundry

not  inform,  us."  That  remark  may  raise  a  doubt  in  the  mind  of  any 
reader,  even  if  the  writer  be  not  thot.  to  distrust  the  marvel.  Yet  in  the

1  Feb.  1693,  aft.  long  afflict,  suppos.  by  witchcraft,  as  Rev.  Mr.  Hale  in

knowl.  bef.  Justice  Dudley  Bradstreet,  10  Aug.   1692,  that  she  had  a 
hand  in  it,  but  she  was  so  liberal  in  confess,  many  other  torments  bestow, 
by  her  upon  other  neighbors,  that  I  believe  she  saved  her  life  by  her 
falsehoods.     See  3  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  I.  124.     But  the  magistr.  was  slow 
to  believe  the  horrible  confess,  of  his  neighb.  against  themselves,  and  so 
the  baffled  bloodhounds  wh.  rejoic.  in  the  diabolical  delus.  were  let  loose 
upon  him,  as  a  Sadducee.     THOMAS,  Roxbury,  m.  Mary,  d.  of  Thomas

17  June  1684,  d.  soon;  and  Ebenezer,  12  May  1686;  was  a  physician 
and  d.  perhaps  in  Feb.  1688.     His  ho.  was  burn,  in  the  night  of  11  July 
1681,  for  wh.  Maria,  a  negro  serv.  of  Joshua  Lamb,  being  convict,  by 
her  confess,  at  the  Court  in  Sept.  foil,  the  Gov.  benignant  Bradstreet,

SWATMAN,  JOHN,  Cambridge,  is  no  doubt  error  in  Genealog.  Reg.  IX. 
168  (but  truly  tak.  from  the  old  book  in  Boston),  for  Thomas  Sweet- 
man  ;  and  the  date  of  b.  of  the  first  ch.  is  one  yr.  too  early. 

SWELUS,  an  unfortun.  name  in  Geneal.  Reg.  II.  264,  belongs,  I  am 
confident,  to  Robert  Twelves  of  Braintree.  See,  also,  an  equal  mistake

the  interchange  of  Sweet  and  Swett  in  old  rec.  that  we  must  not  depend

May  1640,  d.  soon ;  Deborah,  28  Aug.  bapt.  4  Sept.  1642  ;  but  the  dates 
of  bapt.  of  the  last  three  are  wrong,  in  the  copy  by  Budington  scrupu 
lously  foil,  and  the  orig.  being  lost,  we  are  always  doubtful,  whether  the 
transcript  is  correct.  In  ea.  of  the  three  cases,  the  Geneal.  Reg.  XIII. 
135,  has  used  the  day  of  birth,  but  without  turn,  to  the  almanac,  call,  it 
the  day  of  bapt.  Worse  error  than  this  readers  may  be  led  into  by  tak. 
the  order  of  the  ch.  where  Sarah  is  rank,  under  12,  as  the  youngest  d. 
when  she  was  the  eldest  of  the  eight  ds.  if  not  of  the  thirteen  ch.  Tim 
othy,  again,  whose  date  is  not  found  ;  and  one  more  s.  if  Mather,  III.  132, 
has  correct,  quot.  his  epit.  wh.  is  doubted.  His  neighb.  Johnson,  so 
many  yrs.  his  parishioner,  speaks  of  ch.  "  their  numb,  being  ten,  both  s. 
and  ds.  a  certain  sign  of  the  Lord's  intent  to  people  this  vast  wilderness," 
he  adds,  with  juster  application  of  the  doings  of  Providence,  than  he 
usual,  exhibits.  He  was  b.  at  Canterbury,  in  Co.  Kent,  5  Apr.  1599,  s. 
of  Rev.  William,  matric.  1617  at  Emanuel,  and  took  at  the  Univ.  of 
Cambridge  his  A.  B.  1620-1,  preach,  as  a  lecturer  at  the  ch.  of  St.  Ath- 
olines,  London,  m.  July  1621,  and  there  had  eldest  d.  Sarah,  but  in  1625 
bee.  rector  of  Dunstable,  in  wh.  office  he  had  large  serv.  dur.  the  plague 
that  extend,  wide,  that  yr.  Mather,  wh.  confess,  his  informat.  is  not 
large,  says,  he  was  always  worried  by  the  prelatists  for  insuffic.  conform. 
His  liv.  was  not  a  very  good  one,  as  his  success,  in  1842  wrote  me,  and 
his  fam.  being  num.  he  saw  prospects  of  more  enlarg.  usefulness  on  our

freem.  1665,  had  w.  Eliz.  call,  in  the  will  of  3  May  1670,  made  by  Sa 
rah,  wid.  of  Richard  Mather  (wh.  had  been  wid.  of  great  John  Cotton,

judg.  the  same  in  Cotton's  will,  1652,  nam.  as  his  gr.ch.  Betty  Day.  We 
know,  Cotton  then  had  no  gr.ch.  and  this  ch.  must  have  been  b.  of  some 
d.  of  the  wid.  Story,  wh.  in  Eng.  or  here  had  m.  a  Day.  That  name  is 
found  early  both  at  Ipswich  and  Gloucester  ;  but,  tho.  Mr.  Felt  has  large

acquaint,  with  the  early  inhab.  of  both  those  towns,  he  can  discov.  no  f. 
for  this  w.  of  Synionds.  By  her  he  had,  at  G.  Sarah,  b.  2  July  1668,  wh. 
by  the  will  of  her  gr.  gr.mo.  Mather,  had  gift  of  one  of  her  cows.  But  I 
kmTiicf  more  of  him,  exc.  that  he  went  home  and  was  liv.  at  Wethersfield 
in  Eng.  1672;  nor  is  it  kn.  that  he  ever  came  back.  Mr.  Babson  in 
forms  us,  that  the  wid.  ret.  to  G.  where  the  d.  m.  a.  1692  Thomas  Low ; 
and  her  mo.  d.  31  Jan.  1728,  aged  90.  HENRY,  Boston  1643,  perhaps 
.the  freem.  of  10  May,  a  man  of  enterprise,  undertook  the  work  of  mak. 
the  mill  creek  for  a  mill  power,  under  a  vote  of  July,  with  George  Bur 
den,  John  Button,  John  Hill  and  assoc.  as  is  fully  stat.  in  Snow's  Hist,  of 
Boston,  124,  5.  But  he  d.  in  Sept.  foil,  and  was  bur.  14th.  He  had  been 
recommend,  by  pastor  of  a  ch.  at  Southampton,  and  in  that  right  his 
posthum.  ch.  was  bapt.  here  21  Apr.  1644,  a.  3  days  old  by  the  name, 
Richgrace,  giv.  by  the  wid.  mo.  no  doubt.  So  it  might  be  infer,  that  he 
had  gone  from  Lynn  with  Rev.  Abraham  Pierson ;  and  Lechford's  Plain 
Dealing,  43,  makes  it  certain,  that  he  was  one  of  the  found,  of  Pierson's 
ch.  gather,  at  Lynn,  1641,  as  Winth.  tells,  II.  6,  for  the  object  of  going  to 
the  E,  end  of  Long  Island,  tho.  it  is  implied  from  Lechford's  language, 
that  he  never  went.  His  wid.  m.  Isaac  Walker,  and  her  name  was  Su 
san,  as  appears  in  the  act  of  our  Gen.  Ct.  Rec.  II.  104,  confirm,  to  Chris 
topher  Lawson  est.  in  Boston  that  S.  had  engag.  to  sell  him.  JAMES, 
Salem,  s.  of  John  of  the  same,  suppos.  to  be  b.  in  1633,  perhaps  in  Eng.

1692;  Sarah,  13  Dec.  1694;  Nathan,  12  June  1697;  and  Ruth,  12  Dec.

my  copy  of  York  rec.  says ;  and  it  is  prob.  that  he  kept  his  precinct  in

2d  Samuel ;  but  by  some  rec.  it  appears,  that  ano.  w.  Dorothy  was  liv. 
1645  ;  yet  she  may  have  been  w.  of  his  first  s.  Samuel,  for,  strange  as  it 
seems,  he  had  two  Samuels  then  liv.  Farmer  gives  him  other  ds.  Su 
sanna,  and  Dorothy,  wh.  m.  he  says,  Joseph  Jacobs ;  and  Mary,  wh.  m.

bef.  him,  of  John  Hall,  and  bef.  him,  of  Henry  Byley.  She  was  so 
happy  in  find.  hs.  that  wh.  was  her  f.  has  not  been  told.  But  one  of  his 
ws.  was  not  (as  frequent,  has  been  boasted),  a  d.  of  the  first  Gov.  Win- 
throp,  wh.  had  only  one  of  four  ds.  that  outliv.  two  yrs.  and  she  m.  Sam 
uel  Dudley.  The  mistake  arose  from  the  use  of  the  word  sis.  S.  in  the

R.  I.  and  not  long  aft.  at  Providence,  of  wh.  he  was  rep.  1661.  He  liv.

may  provoke  inq.     That  her  h.  was  a  gr.s.  of  the  Rev.  Peter,  may  well 
be ;  and  that  his  bapt.  name  must  make  him  s.  of  Gershom  is  almost  cer 
tain,  for  Peter,  of  Fairfield,  s.  of  the  first  Peter,  was  d.  leav.  s.  of  the 
same  name  too  young  to  be  m.  in  1700 ;  and  Peter  s.  of  Edward  was  d. 
without  leav.  s.  of  this  name.     But  greater  doubt  in  my  mind  is  of  the  yr. 
to  wh.  this  Rachel's  m.  is  postpon.  by  him,  tho.  undoubted,  the  Wethers- 
field  rec.  says  "Mr.  Peter  B.  and  Rachel  T.  were  m.  21  Mar.  1699,"  i.

Vol.  I.  pro.  7  Dee.  1641,  refer,  to  s.  Allen  in  Eng.  wh.  prob.  never  came. 
He  was,  I  judge,  a  trader,  as  he  speaks  of  goods  remain,  beside  beq.  of 
money  and  especial,  of  trees,  no  doubt  fruit  trees,  as  in  Geneal.  Reg.  II.

sole  excor.  gives  Jeremiah  and  Eliz.  the  ground  "  that  the  house  was 
burnt  on,"  in  the  fire  of  1679,  I  suppose ;  but  they  are  charg.  to  pay  £10

my  opin.  at  least  it  is  wrong  as  s.  of  Gregory,  if  right  of  Thomas.  He

so  that  he  may  have  had  w.  and  ch.  and  rem.  to  some  uncert.  place.  A

Ipswich,  a  soldier,  k.  in  the  gr.  battle  with  Philip,  19  Dec.  1675.     JOHN,

1648,  had  been  ment.  1638,  but  never  with  indicat.  of  a  fam.  No  w.  or 
ch.  is  heard  of,  when  at  the  age  of  81  his  will  was  pro.  29  June  1695,  in 
wh.  his  ho.  and  Id.  are  devis.  to  Samuel  Treadwell,  perhaps  a  cous.  as  he 
calls  Thomas,  and  Nathaniel  Treadwell,  Thomas,  and  Seaborn  Wilson, 
Mary  Gaines,  Esther  Hovey,  and  Martha  Cross.  SAMUEL,  Windsor,

"  Thomas  Taylor  shall  have  nothing  to  do  with  it,"  and  that  was  caus.  by

London,  kn.  there,  says  Caulkins,  only  1650  to  3,  perhaps  was  not  the

had  Richard,  b.  a.  1668,  and  prob.  other  ch.  wh.  with  their  mo.  it  is  thot. 
on  destruct.  of  the  town  in  1676,  when  he  was  k.  by  the  Ind.  were  forced 
to  go  to  Boston  for  refuge.  THOMAS,  an  Eng.  knight  and  baronet,  came 
to  Boston,  with  favor  of  appoint,  by  Cromwell  to  be  Gov.  of  Acadia,  in 
1657,  assoc.  with  Col.  Crowne,  as  grantee  of  Nova  Scotia,  spent  many 
yrs.  this  side  of  the  water,  speculat.  in  Ids.  far  and  near,  join  the  ch.  of 
Increase  Mather  in  June  1670,  yet  was  careful  to  hold  good  terms  with 
Charles  II.  (wh.  renew,  his  office  of  Gov.)  with  wh.  in  former  yrs.  he 
interpos.  his  kind  offices  to  befriend  N.  E.  One  mark  of  this  I  copied  in 
the  State  Paper  office  at  London,  July  1842,  being  his  letter  to  Seer. 
Morrice  from  Boston,  Aug.  1661,  about  the  regicides,  Whalley  and  Goffe, 
with  a  very  curious  one  from  Rev.  John  Davenport,  on  the  same  subject, 
addressed  to  Temple.  The  clerg.  beats  the  courtier  on  that  topic  ;  but 
allowance  is  to  be  made  for  the  cause,  inasmuch  as  Temple  was  sincere, 
we  may  well  suppose,  and  be  more  sure  that  Davenport  was  not.  He 
thought  a  little  equivocation  justifiable  for  the  glory  of  God,  and  safety 
of  the  proscribed.  A  pleasant  anecdote  is  relat.  by  Hutchinson  of  T.'s 
persuad.  the  king,  that  the  pine  tree  on  the  coin  struck  in  Boston,  was 
the  royal  oak  that  saved  his  majesty.  I  doubt  not,  this  is  as  near  the 
truth  as  tradit.  oft.  reaches ;  perhaps  it  was  uttered  by  the  traveller  to 
our  friend  the  Earl  of  Manchester,  or  even  to  the  Earl  of  Clarendon, 
whose  well-tried  loyalty  quarrelled  not  with  discretion  ;  and  in  the  way 
of  trifling  not  uncommon  in  that  court,  may  possib.  tho.  I  think  not,  have 
got  up  to  the  throne.  If  the  merry  monarch  had  been  ill-natured  eno. 
to  ask  what  the  date,  1652,  meant.  Sir  Thomas  must  have  had  awk 
ward  sensations.  He  d.  in  London,  27  Mar.  1674,  had  left  at  B.  a  will 
of  14  Oct.  1671,  pro.  28  July  1674,  but  all  the  excors.  Gov.  Leverett 
capt.  Lake,  capt.  Hull,  and  John  Richards,  immediat.  renounced  the 
office,  prob.  thro,  fear  that  the  debts  would  much  exceed  the  means. 
Ano.  will  had  been  pro.  the  very  day  bef.  at  the  Prerog.  Ct.  Doctor's 
Commons,  made  27  Mar.  of  that  yr.  so  that  the  first,  wh.  may  be  found

may  as  well  be  suppos.  to  have  d.  so  much  earlier,  unless  a  rem.  to  ano.

20  yrs.  bef.  and  emb.  on  6  Apr.  1635  at  Southampton  in  the  James

Angel  Gabriel,  cast  away,  15  Aug.),  and  arr.  at  Boston  3  June,  in  the 
ship's  clearance  call,  a  tayler  for  decept.  not  of  the  inferiors  at  the 
custom  ho.  wh.  certif.  that  the  total  num.  of  men,  youths,  and  boys,  was

;and  his  neph.  Thomas,  afterwards  first  min.  of  the  third  or  O.  S.  ch.  in 
Boston,  beside  a  serv.  Peter  Higden ;  but  of  all  these,  only  the  names  of 
Higden  and  of  Anthony  P.  appear  in  that  list  of  53.  Such  was  the 
-mode  of  evasion  of  the  petty  tyranny  of  the  Lords  of  the  Council.  The 
ship  was  of  300  tons,  and  might  well  have  brot.  150  passeng.  when  so 
many  were  eager  to  come,  yet  the  names  of  53  alone  are  giv.  Most  of 
these  went  to  Ipswich,  and  a  large  part  of  them  sett,  the  same  and  foil, 
yr.  at  Newbury ;  but  Thacher  with  his  friend  Avery,  wh.  was  invit.  to

were  wreck,  on  a  rock,  or  rather  ledge  off  Cape  Ann.  Of  23  persons  in 
that  little  bark,  all  but  Thacher  and  his  w.  were  drown.  He  and  she 
were  cast  on  the  barren  islet,  ever  since  call  Thacher's  woe,  as  the  outer 
rock,  gain,  the  name  of  Avery's  fall.  Slight  acco.  of  this  sad  occur,  is  in 
Magn.  II.  cap.  2,  but  fuller  in  Winth.  I.  165,  and  the  personal  relat.  of 
the  whole  by  the  suffer,  is  in  Young's  Chron.  of  Mass.  483,  and  I  can 
recommend  no  more  strik.  narrative  in  our  early  hist.  He  was  by  the  Ct. 
made  admor.  of  Joseph  Avery,  as  Col.  Rec.  I.  154,  shows.  Our  Gen.  Ct. 
bestow  a  good  sum  in  money  on  the  surv.  suffer,  as  in  Rec.  I.  157  ap

is  oft.  repeat,  on  acco.  of  the  extraord.  circumst.  of  his  being  brot.  from  the

Webb,  wh.  had  been  gr.  at  Harv.  12  yrs.  later.  How  long  aft.  1696  he 
was  ord.  at  W.  or  what  were  the  concomitants  of  his  lot  there  are  unkn. 
That  he  must  have  been  highly  regard,  at  W.  and  not  thro,  the  partiality 
of  a  few  hearers,  wh.  rememb.  the  powers  of  his  uncle  half  a  century  bef. 
is  a  reasonab.  presumpt.  and  why  many  should  have  desir.  him  is  easier 
to  conject.  than  the  reason  for  the  bitter  and  most  indecent  repugnance 
to  his  installat.  that  any  of  the  petty  squabbles  a.  the  introd.  of  a  min.  in 
any  parish  of  N.  E.  have  produced.  Four,  five,  or  six  publicat.  on  the 
two  sides,  may  be  preserv.  by  the  curious  for  this  eventful  yr.  1720,  on 
28  Jan.  in  wh.  an  ordain,  council  was  oblig.  to  go  secret,  to  the  house  of

bad  to  be  entrusted  even  to  printing.  He  d.  26  Feb.  1739.  Of  this

wid.  of  Robert  Pigg,  and  is  in  the  list  of  freem.  1669,  but  if,  as  I  can

the  first,  d.  prob.  unm.  29  July  1693.  Remarkable  may  appear  the  fact, 
that  so  few  of  these  men  took  the  o.  of  freemen,  but  it  is  kn.  that  fewer 
from  Braintree  than  any  other  town  appear.  In  1678,  five  were  sw. 
and  hardly  as  many  more  can  be  seen  in  the  long  period  preced.  from 
1630.  So  little,  comparative,  was  the  migrat.  of  these  fams.  of  Thayer, 
that  in  the  catalog,  of  gr.  at  Harv.  are  seen  nineteen,  and  not  one  at 
Yale. 

THEALE,  THELE,  THEELE,  or  THALE,  *  JOSEPH,  Stamford,  prob.  s.  of

made  freem.  1662,  whose  name  in  Conn.  Col.  Rec.  I.  391,  is  giv.  Theed; 
but  he  was  of  too  much  value  to  be  thus  obscur.  rep.  1671,  3,  5,  6,  and 
7  ;  aft.  1687  had  good  est.  rem.  to  Bedford,  just  beyond  the  Col.  bound, 
in  jurisdict.  of  N.  Y.  and  I  regret  that  no  genealog.  details  are  attain.

the  curious  caution,  deriv.  in  part  from  the  will  of  Rev.  Adam  Blakeman, 
16  Mar.  1665,  in  which  he  gave  £5  to  his  d.  Dorothy  (the  wid.  of  his  s. 
John,  wh.  d.  so  long  bef.  as  1662)  "  if  she  m.  not  J.  T.  and  shall  take  her 
friends'  consent  in  the  matter ;  or  contin.  a  wid."  and  in  part  from  the 
decision  of  a  court,  10  Oct.  1665,  relat.  to  a  reference  of  the  claim  of  T. 
to  the  person  of  the  wid.  wh.  prob.  had  giv.  encouragem.  to  ano.  suitor. 
Poor  Thomas  lost  by  the  award,  we  may  presume,  for  on  31  Oct.  1665, 
the  wid.  m.  Francis  Hall.  See  Goodwin's  Genealog.  Notes.  JOHN, 
Woodbury  1690  perhaps,  but  not  prob.  s.  of  the  preced.  had  John,  bapt. 
30  Aug.  1695  ;  Samuel,  10  Sept.  1699 ;  and  Thomas,  5  Mar.  1701.  Of 
one  JOHN,  wh.  d.  at  Framingham  1730,  Farmer  in  MS.  relates  that  his 
f.  was  one  of  the  first  sett,  of  Boston,  to  wh.  tradit.  his  judgm.  would 
have  yield,  little  credit,  had  it  not  been  assail,  on  its  weak  side ;  for  the 
story  went  on,  that  he,  the  Framingham  man,  was  upwards  of  100  yrs. 
old.  Now  only  one  man  ever  reach,  his  century  at  F.  and  that  was 
Isaac  Clark,  while  the  names  of  sixty-eight  persons  in  F.  wh.  d.  at  the 
age  of  85  and  upwards,  furnish,  us  by  Barry,  do  not  include  any  Thomas. 
The  first  part  of  the  myth,  then,  may  not  be  more  than  ten  yrs.  beyond 
the  truth,  but  this  example  of  longevity  is  sixteen  yrs.  at  least,  short  of 
the  pretence.  JOSEPH,  Springfield,  s.  of  Rowland,  by  w.  Mary  had

and  from  Mr.  White,  wh.  furnish  to  Geneal.  Reg.  IX.  that  very  valu.  list 
of  baptisms,  I  am  instruct,  that  the  town  rec.  is  usual,  the  true  one,  and 
the  ch.  rec.  frequent,  false,  or  wonderful,  careless  rather.  Prob.  this 
was  kept  by  Rev.  John  Davenport,  less  precise  in  facts  than  in  doctrine. 
But  the  writer  of  that  rec.  little  consider,  to  what  vexations  he  would 
subject  those  who  came  in  a  future  age  to  consult  his  ambiguous  oracle. 
Often  by  omiss.  as  well  as  commiss.  the  teacher  is  blameworthy ;  and 
the  scrupulous  Mr.  White  was  misled  to  ascribe,  p.  362,  three  ch.  to  this 
John  Thompson,  by  w.  Ellen,  scil.  Hannah,  Lydia,  and  Ebenezer,  bapt. 
1645,  7  and  8,  respectiv.  not  one  of  wh.  was  hers,  as  her  m.  was  some 
yrs.  later  than  their  bapt.  These  three  belong  to  his  br.  Anthony,  whose 
w.  perhaps  was  the  sis.  Thompson  ment.  in  the  book  by  Mr.  White  mis

Ct.  of  Conn,  interpose  to  attempt  adjustm.  of  his  dime,  with  the  ch.  there,

tinct,  propound,  for  freem.  1671,  and  was  propr.  1685.  Mr.  Judd  thinks 
he  was  not  relat.  of  the  other  Johns,  but  had  a  child,  perhaps  Mary,  in 
Sept.  1667  ;  Samuel,  b.  12  May  1669  ;  and  Sarah,  16  Jan.  1672.  JOHN, 
Stratford,  s.  of  John  of  the  same,  call.  jun.  was  propound,  for  freem. 
1671,  d.  1681,  had  no  w.  or  ch.  and  by  his  will  helps  us  to  certainty  in 
the  field  where  doubt  was  most  diffus.  the  affin.  of  memb.  of  so  common 
a  name.  Thus  to  his  mo.  to  John,  s.  of  br.  Ambrose,  to  cliildr.  of  John

gail,  to  a  cousin,  ch.  of  Matthew  Mitchell,  wh.  was,  we  kn.  the  first  of 
sev.  we  find  gifts,  and  the  silence  as  to  Esther,  would  almost  serve  to 
show,  without  the  rec.  that  she  was  d.  JOHN,  Reading,  by  Eaton  marked 
as  one  of  the  early  sett.  JOHN,  Rehoboth,  m.  19  Sept,  1682,  Sarah

wh.  title  he  was  hon.  by  the  k.  of  Bavaria,  wh.  was  b.  at  W.  26  Mar. 
1753.  Farmer  had  once  suppos.  that  the  Count  was  descend,  of  Rev. 
William,  to  wh.  mistake  he  was  led  by  the  first  Presdt.  Adams ;  and  the 
correct,  is  due  to  the  investigat.  of  Francis  Jackson  of  Boston.  JOSEPH,

he  was  satisf.  I  fear,  with  the  outward  benefit,  for  he  did  not  join  the

meagre,  prints  it  as  here.  WILLIAM,  New  Haven  1647,  br.  of  Anthony, 
had  perhaps  accomp.  Gov.  Eaton,  had  neither  w.  nor  ch.  but  d.  24  Apr. 
1683,  and  to  his  will  of  6  Oct.  preced.  we  owe  very  much  of  our  kn.  of 
ws.  and  ch.  of  others.  He  gave  prop,  to  John,  s.  of  his  br.  Anthony ;  to 
John  and  William,  s.  of  his  br.  John ;  to  Bridget  Bowers,  Ann  Staunton, 
and  Lydia  Cruttenden,  ds.  of  br.  Anthony ;  and  to  ds.  of  br.  John,  viz.

Yet  a  suspicion  reasonab.  arises,  from  the  Conn.  Col.  Rec.  I.  432,  direct, 
the  constable  to  secure  prop,  to  amount  of  a  certain  debt,  that  his  object 
was  to  escape  creditors,  rather  than  to  preach  the  gospel.  WILLIAM,

TKORNDIKE,  John,  Beverly,  perhaps  s.  of  Rev.  George,  rector  of 
Little  Carleton,  near  Lowth,  Co.  Lincoln,  bapt.  23  July  1603,  came  to 
Boston  as  early  as  1 632,  if  not  in  the  fleet  with  Winth.  for  he  was  one 
of  the  twelve  allow,  by  the  governm.  1  Apr.  1633  to  go  to  plant  Ipswich,

her  name  was  Eliz.  and  kn.  that  he  had  six  ds.  Sarah,  Eliz.  Ann,  Mary,

his  will  there,  29  July  of  that  yr.  in  contemplat.  of  his  ret.  and  by  that

THORNE,  THOMAS,  Roxbury,  is  the  false  name  in  town  rec.  giv.  to 
WILLIAM,  of  Boston,  a  laborer,  liv.  at  Muddy  riv.  whose  w.  was  of  the

name  of  the  ch.  bapt.  23  Mar.  1645,  Desiretruth,  from  wh.  he  withdraws 
the  last  syl.  but  I  am  happy  to  assure  the  admirers  of  a  good  name,  that 
the  evidence  of  the  Roxbury  ch.  volume  vindicates  the  whole  truth.  He 
was  prob.  liv.  at  Lynn,  when  freem.  2  May  1638,  and  Lewis  makes  him

the  next  yr.  was  adm.  of  the  Boston  ch.  and  had  Israel,  bapt.  14  July

that  was  13  July  1645;  and  in  1647  alone,  three  ds.  Thomas,  Priscllla,

Strong.  THOMAS,  Stratford,  of  wh.  very  little  is  kn.  exc.  that  he  had 
Theophilus,  b.  there,  10  June  1651 ;  and  aft.  1653  no  more  is  heard  of 
him  at  Stratford,  but  he  was  rep.  1651.  THOMAS,  Hartford,  a  tanner, 
perhaps  s.  of  Thomas  of  Windsor,  had  liv.  at  Milford,  there  m.  1674,

Nor  do  I  find  the  Univ.  at  wh.  he  was  bred,  or  the  liv.  from  wh.  he  was 
eject.  At  Y.  he  was  as  early  as  18  June  1663,  and  in  1677  rem.  to  Boston,

calls  him  very  near.  93.  He  was  perhaps  something  advanc.  towards 
sec.  childhood,  when  call,  by  Cotton  Mather,  Jan.  1694,  to  testify  how 
Margaret  Rule  was  raised  from  her  bed  by  an  invisible  force,  to  touch 
the  garret  floor,  "  lifted  up  from  all  that  was  under  her,"  as  may  be  read 
on  p.  23  of  the  London  ed.  1700  of  "More  Wonders  of  the  Invisible

TICKNALL,  HENRY,  is  the  name  of  a  passeng.  emb.  at  London  in  the 
Hopewell,  in  the  autumn  of  1635,  aged  only  15;  but  whether  he  ever 
reached  Boston,  or  where  he  sat  down,  is  untold. 

TICKNOR,  or  anciently,  TICKNER,  WILLIAM,  Scituate  1646,  or  earlier, 
m.  at  Boston,  29  Oct.  1656,  Hannah,  d.  of  John  Stockbridge,  had  John,

TIFF,  TIFT,  or  TEFFE,  WILLIAM,  Boston  1638,  the  freem.  of  2  June 
1641,  with  his  w.  Ann,  had  join,  the  ch.  2  Aug.  1640,  when  the  spelling 
is  Teffe,  and  he  is  call,  tailor.  His  will  of  1  May  1646,  pro.  2  Nov. 
1648,  ment.  w.  Ann,  d.  Lydia,  and  br.  John.  The  name  is  rare,  and  no 
doubt  various,  spell,  at  differ,  times  and  places.  Stephen  Tift  was  one 
of  the  prisoners  taken  in  Montgomery's  attack  on  Quebec,  31  Dec.  1775. 
J.  K.  Teift,  Esq.  an  estim.  mem.  of  the  Georgia  Hist.  Soc.  at  Savannah,

TIFFANY,  HUMPHREY,  Rehoboth  1663,  by  w.  Eliz.  had  Sarah,  b.  6

TILDEN.  301 

TIFFT,  ELIAS,  a  soldier  of  our  ranks  in  Philip's  war.  JOHN,  Ports 
mouth,  R.  I.  1655,  on  the  freemen's  list  that  yr.  In  1674  he  was  of 
Kingstown,  made  his  will,  then,  in  wh.  he  names  s.  Samuel,  Joshua,  and 
d.  Tabitha,  w.  of  Samuel  Wilson.  He  was  prob.  br.  of  William  Teffe  or 
Tift  of  Boston.  JOSHUA,  Providence,  at  Wickford,  1674,  a  renegado, 
wh.  hav.  m.  a  Wampanoag,  was  true  to  the  Ind.  side,  k.  or  wound,  many 
Eng.  it  was  said,  especial,  at  the  gr.  swamp  fight,  19  Dec.  1675,  taken 
14  Jan.  foil,  by  some  Providence  men,  was  soon  execut.  with  a  stigma 
"  that  he  had  never  heard  a  sermon  but  once  for  14  yrs."  See  all  the 
contempo.  reports  of  the  war.  He  was  s.  of  John,  and  so  I  presume  was 
SAMUEL,  of  Wickford  1674. 

TILI>EN,  JOHN,  Scituate  1643,  is  sometimes  perhaps  giv.  Tilten. 
JOSEPH,  Scituate,  eldest  s.  of  Nathaniel,  b.  in  Eng.  came  in  the  Her 
cules  1635,  from  Sandwich,  with  his  f.  wh.  was  of  Tenterden  in  Co. 
Kent,  m.  20  Nov.  1649,  Alice  or  Eliz.  d.  of  John  Twisden,  had  Nathan 
iel,  b.  Sept.  1650;  John,  Dec.  1652;  Rebecca,  Feb.  1655;  Joseph,  12 
Feb.  1657,  prob.  d.  young,  as  he  is  not  ment.  in  the  will  of  his  f. ;  Stephen, 
14  May  1659;  Samuel,  1660;  Eliz.  1665;  Lydia,  1666;  and  Benja 
min  1668,  wh.  d.  unm.  at  25  yrs.  He  was  deac.  and  d.  in  May  1670,

name,  and  br.  Stephen,  and  sis.  Eliz.  Garrett.  But  of  this  last  some 
doubt  is  felt,  whether  it  mean  more  than  Christian  relationship,  or  per 
haps  the  sec.  w.  of  Richard  G.  wh.  for  his  first,  had  Lydia,  sis.  of  this 
testat.  NATHANIEL,  Scituate,  came  in  the  Hercules  1635  from  Sand 
wich,  in  Co.  Kent,  being  one  of  an  old  fam.  at  Tenterden,  near  Cran- 
brook,  in  that  shire,  bring,  w.  Lydia,  seven  ch.  and  seven  serv.  He  may 
have  visit,  our  country  bef.  and  went  home  to  bring  his  household ;  but 
it  does  not  appear  by  any  facts.  In  May  1637,  with  his  friend  Hatherly, 
he  was  appoint,  by  Plymouth  Col.  to  sett,  the  bounds  betw.  it  and  Mass. 
He  was  rul.  elder  in  the  ch.  and  d.  1641,  the  inv.  being  of  31  July,  and 
his  will  of  25  May  preced.  in  that  yr.  It  names  his  w.  Lydia,  perhaps 
d.  of  Thomas  Bourne  of  Marshfield,  yet  m.  in  Eng.  to  wh.  he  gives  his  ho. 
at  Tenterden,  all  the  seven  ch.  Joseph ;  Thomas,  b.  a.  1621 ;  Mary,  the 
w.  of  Thomas  Lapham,  m.  13  Mar.  1637;  Sarah,  the  w.  of  George 
Sutton ;  Judith ;  Lydia ;  and  Stephen  ;  also  two  serv.  wh.  should  serve 
his  eldest  s.  Judith  m.  Abraham  Preble,  and  Lydia  m.  Richard  Gar 
rett.  NATHANIEL,  Scituate,  eldest  s.  of  Joseph,  d.  17  Dec.  1731.  STE 
PHEN,  Marshfield,  youngest  s.  of  Nathaniel  first,  m.  15  Jan.  1662,  Han

no  d.  is  suppos.  to  have  occur,  in  the  Col.  for  some  yrs.  after  1621,  my 
infer,  is  that  he  went  home.  Perhaps  he  was  br.  of  the  first  Nathaniel ;  but 
most  surely  not,  as  Farmer  thot.  him,  his  s.  THOMAS,  Marshfield,  prob. 
s.  of  the  elder  Nathaniel,  b.  at  Tenterden,  Co.  Kent,  was  old  eno.  in  1 643

he  d.  11  Sept,  1718,  aged  a.  85  yrs.  Whether  he  had  w.  and  ch.  is 
uncert.  Perhaps  he  was  the  author  wh.  compos,  verses  on  the  d.  of  John 
Foster,  1681,  as  Thomas  in  his  Hist,  of  Print,  I.  277,  tells.  *  TIMOTHY,

in  whose  youthful  days  the  Ct.  1639  order,  that  he  shall  be  taught  sea

TILLEY,  EDWARD,  Plymouth  1620,  came  with  w.  in  the  Mayflower,

He  and  his  w.  d.  the  first  winter.  Humility  went  home  and  d.  HUGH, 
Salem,  perhaps  in  1629,  as  in  Haz.  I.  280,  when  he  was  serv.  to  Sir 
Richard  Saltonstall,  certain,  at  Yarmouth  1638  and  43,  being  a  witness 
there  to  a  will  early  in  1639,  and  enrol,  to  bear  arms  in  the  latter  yr.

perhaps  br.  of  Edward,  came  with  w.  and  one  ch.  Eliz.  in  the  Mayflower, 
1620,  and  all  (it  was  believ.  by  Shurtleffin  Geneal.  Reg.  I.  52)  d.  next

32,  but  I  kn.  no  more  of  him.  THOMAS,  Plymouth  1643.  WILLIAM, 
Boston,  is  perhaps  the  passeng.  in  the  Abigail  from  London  1635,  aged 
28,  with  Nathaniel,  and  may  have  been  his  br.  perhaps  was  the  Barn- 
stable  man  1643.  In  1649,  he  had  w.  Alice,  and  was  inhab.  1658  ;  but 
in  1665  was  subject  of  complaint  by  w.  Of  Eliz.  T.  wh.  in  1653  at 
Springfield,  m.  Thomas  Merrick,  tho.  from  that  union,  the  Tilley  has 
grown  into  a  common  baptism,  prefix,  it  is,  I  fear,  impossib.  to  find  any 
trace  of  parentage. 

TILLINGHAST,  BENJAMIN,  Providence,  s.  prob.  youngest  of  the  first 
Pardon,  had  three  ds.  of  whose  dates  I  hear  nothing,  nor  names ;  but  it 
is  said  that  they  m.  Solomon  Drown,  Edward  Kinnicutt,  and  Christo 
pher  Arnold,  respective.  JOHN,  Providence,  of  whose  descent  I  am  ign. 
had  perhaps  other  ch.  beside  Mary,  b.  a.  1689,  wh.  m.  2  Nov.  1709, 
Richard  Ward.  JOSEPH,  Providence,  br.  of  Benjamin,  by  first  w.  had 
Paris;  and  by  sec.  w.  Lydia,  had  Eliz.;  Samuel;  Nicholas,  b.  26  May 
1726 ;  and  Daniel ;  to  ea.  of  wh.  I  would  gladly  give  dates.  PARDON, 
Providence,  b.  a.  1622,  it  is  said,  near  Beachy  Head  on  the  coast  of 
Sussex,  was  sett,  as  Bapt.  min.  1645.  See  Benedict,  Hist.  I.  478.  He 
built  at  his  own  exp.  the  first  meeting-ho.  and  gave  it  to  the  soc.  in  1711, 
with  the  lot  it  stood  on;  and  d.  29  Jan.  1718.  By  his  sec.  w.  Lydia, 
prob.  d.  of  Philip  Tabor  of  Tiverton,  he  had  Pardon  ;  Philip  ;  Joseph,  b.

claim,  by  Conn,  made  a  constable  1670,  by  the  latter  power,  tho.  the 
right  belong,  to  R.  I.  See  Trumbull,  Col.  Rec.  II.  138,  540,  and  553. 
Humbly  I  would  inq.  if  Mr.  Trumbull,  in  the  Index,  making  the  name 
Tibbots  or  Tibbets,  had  high  authority  for  the  spelling,  or  had  followed 
the  similarity  of  Henry  Tibbets  in  N.  H.  adher.  to  the  Mass,  jurisdict. 
I  submit  the  conject.  that  the  true  spell,  was  Lippet ;  yet  with  so  much 
less  confidence,  as  the  Wickford  man's  name  is  found  by  Judd  to  be 
Tipler.

instead  of  Daniel;  but  I  suppose  he  rem.  to  Stratford  bef.  1647;  was 
rep.  1647,  49,  52  and  54;  and  d.  1661.  His  will  pro.  6  July  of  that 
yr.  names  three  s.  Daniel,  Timothy,  and  Samuel,  of  wh.  Timothy  is  the 
only  ch.  whose  b.  is  on  rec.  at  S.  and  that  was  25  Mar.  1651.  To  these 
he  gives  his  est.  and  Ids.  in  Eng.  beside  some  in  N.  E.  Three  ds.  also 
are  ment.  one,  Wilcockson,  perhaps  the  first  w.  of  Timothy,  and  Mary, 
and  Eliz.  unm.  To  these  two  £30  ea.  beside  £10  ea.  for  mar.  dress. 
His  w.  Jane  outliv.  him.  Perhaps  two  of  the  s.  went  home  to  enjoy  est. 
there.  DANIEL,  Stratford,  s.  perhaps  eldest,  of  the  preced.  b.  in  Eng. 
had  Mary,  b.  11  June  1676,  and  perhaps  others  bef.  He  was  one  of 
the  sec,  society  of  S.  most  of  wh.  rem.  to  Woodbury,  but  he  did  not ; 
freem.  1669. 

TITUS,  ABIEL,  Newtown,  L.  I.  was  s.  of  Robert.  JOHN,  Rehoboth,  s.  of 
Robert,  b.  in  Eng.  came  with  his  f.  perhaps  m.  a  d.  of  William  Carpen 
ter  of  the  same,  wh.  in  his  will  of  Dec.  1659,  makes  bequest  to  his  s. 
But  JOHN,  Rehoboth,  wh.  m.  17  July  1673,  Lydia  Redway,  had  Lydia, 
b.  1674,  may  be  s.  of  preced.  and  his  w.  was  bur.  at  R.  25  Nov.  1676. 
He  m.  sec.  w.  3  July  foil.  Sarah  Miller,  had  John,  b.  12  Mar.  1678; 
Hannah,  10  -Nov.  1682.  JONATHAN,  Rehoboth,  had  Samuel,  b.  29  July 
1680.  *  ROBERT,  Wey mouth,  came  in  the  Hopewell,  capt.  Bundock,  in 
the  spr.  of  1635,  from  London,  aged  35,  with  w.  Hannah,  31 ;  ch.  John, 
8;  and  Edmund,  5;  freem.  13  May  1640;  at  W.  had  s.  Abiel,  b.  17 
Mar.  1641;  and  d.  Content,  2&Mar.  1643;  rem.  to  Rehoboth  next  yr.

SILAS,  Rehoboth,  had  Silas,  b.  12  Aug.  perhaps  1679;  Mary,  30  Mar.

TOBEY,  FRANCIS,  in  Mass,  was  fin.  1635,  for  something  slight,  £10,

Michael,  18  June  1653;  and  Mercy,  18  Feb.  1656;  the  bapt.  were  in 
right  of  his  w.  Grace.  I  wish  the  ch.  rec.  had  been  as  accurate  as  that 
of  the  town.  His  will  of  25  Mar.  1686,  names  all  the  ch.  but  Mary,  w. 
of  Isaac  Turner  was  dec.  Grace  had  m.  Richard  Mattock,  wh.  desert, 
her ;  and  Mercy  m.  a  Bassett,  prob.  John.  *  JOHN,  Charlestown  1 637, 
was,  I  think,  one  of  the  early  sett,  at  Rowley,  of  which  he  was  rep.  1664, 
and  86;  by  w.  Susanna,  had  John,  b.  1655;  Catharine,  1658;  Thomas,

d.  soon;  Mary,  26  Sept.  1683;  and  perhaps  more.  He  was  propound, 
for  freem.  1670;  and  propr.  1685;  JOHN,  Rowley,  s.  of  John  of  the 
same,  m.  Eliz.  Broclebank,  perhaps  d.  of  capt.  Samuel,  had  John,  b. 
1688;  Samuel,  1693;  Thomas,  1701;  and  Joseph,  1704;  beside  three

Feb.  1684;  and  perhaps  others.  He  was  propound,  for  freem.  1670,  and 
propr.  1685.  SAMUEL,  Rowley,  s.  of  John  of  the  same,  by  w.  Priscilla, 
had  Samuel,  b.  1696  ;  Abner,  1700  ;  Daniel,  1706  ;  and  one  d.  WALTER, 
Warwick,  is  among  the  freem.  there  1655;  and  liv.  1673.  He  had  m. 
Margaret,  wid.  of  Rufus  Barton,  but  he  left  no  ch.  Of  this  name  four 
teen  had  in  1840  been  gr.  at  Yale,  and  one  at  Harv. 

TOE,  SAMUEL,  Newtown,  L.  1. 1656,  is  by  me  suspected  to  be  the  same 
as  Coe,  in  the  old  writing  the  cap.  T.  and  C.  were  so  much  alike.

1665.  What  was  the  day  of  his  d.  is  unkn.  JAMES,  Scituate,  eldest  ch. 
of  the  preced.  m.  1666,  Lydia,  only  d.  of  William  Wills  or  Willis,  as 
Deane  shows,  but  of  issue  says  nothing,  and  had  sec.  w.  m.  1679,  Eliz.  d.

d.  there  15  Oct.  1732,  in  her  72d  yr.  wh.  agrees  with  the  age  of  the  d.  of 
Rawlins.  JONATHAN,  Weymouth,  prob.  s.  of  William  the  first,  by  w.

11  Nov.  1690;  and  perhaps  others,  where  the  rec.  is  defect.  JOSEPH, 
Rehoboth  1643,  went  to  Newport  in  1654  or  earlier,  was  on  the  free 
men's  list  1655;  with  an  assoc.  met  Dennison  and  Danforth,  Mass. 
Comsnrs.  in  1664  at  Rehoboth,  a.  some  quest,  of  jurisdict.  was  a  lieut,

bounds  with  Conn.  rul.  elder  of  the  ch.  of  John  Clark,  at  the  time  of  his 
d.  1676.  Perhaps  he  m.  a  d.  wh.  may  have  been  the  eldest,  of  that 
John  Greene,  as  by  the  Geneal.  I  have  seen.  JOSIAH,  Medfield,  freem. 

1683,  was,  perhaps,  s.  of  James  the  first  of  Scituate.     MICAJAH,  Wey

Somersetsh.  that  he  kn.  them  bef.  and  ever  since ;  and  George  Fiy  unit. 
in  the  fame  testim.  SAMUEL,  Weymouth,  eldest  s.  of  William  of  the 
same,  was  brot.  in  early  youth,  1640,  by  his  f.  with  Philip,  perhaps  his 
uncle,  perhaps  a  cousin,  and  tho.  pass.  thro,  the  first  prescrib.  course  of 
study  for  three  yrs.  would  have  tak.  his  A.  B.  in  1650,  yet  bee.  the  term 
was  lengthen,  to  4  yrs.  he  and  others,  as  Dr.  Eliot  in  Biog.  Diet,  tells,  left 
the  Coll.  His  f.  had  giv.  him  the  first  classic,  preparat.  and  he  had  so 
improv.  his  opportun.  that  he  had  great  reput.  as  a  min.  and  was  ord.  14 
Feb.  1665,  to  succeed  Thomas  Thatcher,  hav.  preach,  some  yrs.  at  Hull, 
He  preach,  the  elect,  serm.  1674,  again  in  1683,  again  1695,  an  honor  in 
no  other  instance  confer,  in  Mass,  and  was  so  highly  esteem,  for  his 
discret.  as  to  be  chos.  Presid.  of  the  Coll.  in  1681,  aft.  the  d.  of  Oakes, 
and  again,  aft.  d.  of  Rogers ;  but  in  his  Hist,  of  H.  C.  notice  of  these 
things  by  Mather  is  not  found.  However,  it  seems  that  the  Gen.  Ct. 
Rec.  V.  345,  gave  him  the  same  encouragem.  to  accept,  as  they  had  offer. 
to  Increase  Mather.  Both  applicat.  were  in  vain.  He  m.  15  May 
1657,  Mary,  d.  of  Edward  Ilawson,  when  he  liv.  at  Hull,  and  for  sec.  w. 
30  July  1695,  Mary,  wid.  of  William  Symmes,  tho.  what  was  her 
maiden  name  is  undiscov.  Nor  is  my  kn.  any  better  as  to  childr.  or 
whether  he  had  any.  He  was  freem.  1669,  and  hav.  preach,  above  50 
yrs.  d.  21  Apr.  1707,  aged  75.  I  suppose  in  1703  he  rec.  a  collea.  in 
Rev.  James  Bailey.  See  1  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  IX.  195.  *  WILLIAM, 
Weymouth  1640,  came  that  yr.  from  Combe  St.  Nicholas,  close  to  Chard, 
in  Co.  Somerset,  bring,  s.  Samuel,  and  accomp.  by  George  Fry  and 
Philip  T.  wh.  may  have  been  his  br.  or  near  relat.  here  soon  found  a 
sec.  w.  if  as  to  me  seems  prob.  the  mo.  of  Samuel  were  4«  had  Naomi,  b.  3 
Dec.  1641";  Mary,  3  Dec.  1642  ;  Micajah,  12  Oct.  1643,  unless  as  is  very 
prob.  there  be  ^rror  in  the  rec.  print,  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII.  349.  By 
the  fail,  of  rec.  in  a  long  interval,  we  lose  perhaps  half  a  dozen  other  ch. 
certain.  William  and  Jonathan.  He  was  adm.  freem.  18  May  1642, 
rep.  1642,  and  very  oft.  aft.  even  1679-83,  and  aft.  overthrow  of  Andros 
in  1690,  was  early  lieut.  and  later  capt.  chos.  elk.  of  the  house  of  reps. 
1650,  and  usual,  aft.  hav.  as  Johnson  says,  special  qualificat.  in  that  office. 
His  will  of  15  May  1686,  nam.  eldest  s.  Samuel,  and  the  others,  Wil 
liam,  Micajah,  Josiah,  and  Angel,  was  pro.  July  1691.  WILLIAM,  Wey

b.  14  Sept.  1670 ;  John,  23  June  1673 ;  Philip,  2  May  1681 ;  Josiah,  19 
Sept.  1686,  and  perhaps  others  omit,  from  the  rec.  Farmer  marks  nine 
teen  of  this  name  as  gr.  in  1834,  at  N.  E.  coll.  of  wh.  ten  are  seen  at

TOTMAN,  STEPHEN,  Scituate,  s.  of  Thomas,  had  Stephen,  and  Samuel  ; 
but  from  Deane  I  learn  no  more.  THOMAS,  Plymouth,  rem.  to  Scituate

TOUCHWILL,  JOSEPH,  is  the  name  of  a  soldier  in  capt.  Mosely's  comp. 
on  march  in  Dec.  1  675,  to  the  great  Narraganset  fight  ;  but  how  much

Mary  had  Gabriel,  b.  24  Sept.  1694;  and  Esther,  12  June  1696.  GA 
BRIEL,  Boston,  perhaps  br.  of  the  preced.  was  b.  at  Bordeaux  in  France, 
ame  from  Rochelle  in  comp.  with  Gabriel  Bernon,  whose 


d.  Mary  he  m.  and  it  is  said  he  d.  at  sea.  But  that  he  had  ch.  is  kn.  by 
many  descend.  Prob.  the  fam.  rem.  to  Oxford,  as  in  that  vicin.  the

TOUSLAND,  TOUSLEY,  TOWSE,  or  TousEY,  RICHARD,  Saybrook,  per

TOUTON,  JOHN,  a  Huguenot  physician  of  Rochelle  in  France,  with 
others  petition,  our  Gen.  Ct.  as  early  as  1662,  for  permiss.  to  rem.  hither  ;

Ambrose,  Benjamin^  Jonathan,  Hannah,  and  Jeremiah;  but  perhaps  he

was  not,  as  oft.  said,  an  early  sett,  at  M.  certain,  not  bef.  1647,  was  an 
Assist,  of  the  New  Haven  Col.  1659,  wh.  rank  of  course,  was  not  contin.

office  in  the  older  Col.  1665,  he  was  put  in  nominat.  but  did  not  gain  the 
honor  until  1673,  yet  had  the  compliments  of  being  a  capt.  and  rep. 
under  the  new  admin,  in  Philip's  war,  was  command.-in-chief,  and  in

Dept.  Gov.  was  oft.  a  commissnr.  of  the  Unit.  Col.  of  N.  E.  and  aft.  d. 
of  Leete  1683,  succeed,  him  as  Gov.  By  the  royal  constitution  of  Sir 
Edmund  Andros,  to  be  head  of  all  the  Northern  provinces,  T.  was  nam. 
one  of  his  council,  and  tho.  he  did  not  resist,  but  acquiesced,  he  was 
hailed  Gov.  on  the  overthr.  In  that  place  he  serv.  15  yrs.  retir.  from 
old  age,  and  d.  12  July  1710,  aged  88.  Lambert  marks  his  d.  1712. 
He  had  two  ws.  Jane,  only  d.  of  Edmund  Tapp,  wh.  d.  8  Apr.  1703  ; 
and  he  m.  22  Oct.  1705,  a  wid.  Eliz.  Bryan,  wh.  d.  10  Jan.  1706.  It  is 
said  he  had  21  ch.  (and  very  glad  should  I  be  to  prove  above  half  of  the 
tradit.  num.)  but  ten  only  have  been  heard  of  by  me  ;  viz.  Samuel,  bapt. 
3  Sept.  1648,  H.  C.  1669 ;  John,  20  Oct.  1650;  Mary,  23  May,  not  28 
(as  my  correspond,  writes),  1652,  bee.  this  was  Friday,  and  ch.  in  our 
country,  without  except,  in  that  age,  were  bapt.  on  Sunday  only ;  Robert, 
b.  14  Aug.  1654;  Sarah,  9  Oct.  1656;  Hannah,  1  Jan.  1660,  wh.  m. 
Rev.  Samuel  Mather  of  Windsor;  Joseph,  a.  1662;  Abigail,  wh.  m. 
Rev.  Samuel  Andrew  of  Milford ;  beside  Jane,  and  Ann,  wh.  d.  bef. 
their  f.  If  any  respect  for  tradit.  would  solicit  explana.  of  its  giv.  twenty- 
one  ch.  to  the  Gov.  it  may  be  guessed  to  have  sprung  from  the  fact,  that 
his  ch.  add.  to  the  ten  of  the  first  w.  of  s.  Samuel  made  up  the  desired 
number.  Being  above  83  yrs.  old,  when  he  took  his  sec.  w.  none  by 
her  was  expect.  Very  observa.  is  it  that  in  Goodwin's  Geneal.  Notes, 
229,  after  the  heading,  "  Descend,  in  the  line  of  Robert,"  not  one  is  giv. 
wh.  must  be  regard,  as  a  misfortune  attending  Goodwin's  d.  bef.  one 
eighth  of  the  vol.  was  print,  for  he  was  not  the  man  to  be  frightened  by 
such  a  mythical  host.  On  p.  328  the  list  that  was  intend,  to  be  insert, 
and  may  perhaps  now  seem  imperfect,  is  found,  and  some  error  is  seen, 
if  the  Milford  rec.  be  correct.  The  Gov.  in  his  will  of  5  Jan.  1708, 
names  only  these  seven  ch.  Samuel,  John,  Mary,  Robert,  Hannah, 
Joseph,  and  Abigail.  No  doubt  the  other  three  were  d.  and  prob.  the 
date  of  Abigail's  b.  in  Goodwin  is  wrong.  SALMON,  Preston,  s.  of  the

TRICKEY,  or  TRICKETT  EPHRAIM,  Dover,  perhaps  s.  of  Thomas  of

MATTHIAS,  defdt.  in  a  suit  1646,  but  in  my  opinion  is  just  as  likely  to 
mean  Treat.  *  RICHARD,  Wethersfield  1642,  and  thenceforward  this 
surname  occurs  so  oft.  especial,  on  the  gr.  jury  1643,  and  as  rep.  every  sin 
gle  yr.  fr.  1644  to  1658,  but  without  the  baptismal  prefix,  in  Trumbull's 
Col.  Rec.  perhaps  in  50  or  60  places,  when  Richard  Treat  is  found  so 
seldom,  that  I  doubt  not  this  may  be  freq.  substitut.  SAMUEL,  Dor

More  reasona.  import,  is  ano.  pt.  of  the  tradit.  that  he  brot.  three  s.

that  in  1834,  two  of  this  name  had  been  gr.  at  Harv.  two  at  Yale ;  but 
very  curious  is  the  fact,  that  rec.  of  town  and  ch.  at  Haddam,  where  one 
branch  of  the  surname  spread,  both  give  it  Strawbridge. 

TRUANT  or  TROUANT,  JOSEPH,  perhaps  s.  of  Maurice,  Marshfield,  m.

MAURICE,  Duxbury  1643,  had  possib.  first  been  at  Watertown,  and  in 
1631,  was  fin.  for  stealing  pig's  meat  of  Ralph  Glover;  perhaps  only  a 
youthful  peccadillo ;  in  few  yrs.  rem.  to  Marshfield.  there  had  fam.  of  wh.

TRUESDALE,  TRUSDELL,  TREWSDALE  TREUSDALE,  or  TRUESDALL, 
RICHARD,  Boston,  call,  on  join,  the  ch.  27  July  1634,  serv.  to  our  teacher 
John  Cotton,  freem.  4  Mar.  foil.  serv.  in  1639  on  the  coroner's  inq.  on  dead 
body'of  Peter  Fitchew,  wilful,  drown,  and  next  yr.  on  the  more  import, 
jury  for  trial  of  Hugh  Bewett  for  heresy.  He  had  no  eh.  prob.  but  his  w. 
is,  I  suppose,  meant  in  two  letters  of  our  first  Gov.  Winth.  to  his  s.  John, 
Nov.  1646,  mention  that  his  s.  Wait  was  with  sis.  T.  That  phrase  led 
Farmer  to  write  of  Richard  T.  "  perhaps  br.-in-law  of  Gov.  Winthrop." 
By  similar  misunderstand,  of  the  word  sis.  the  descend,  of  Samuel 
Symonds  suppos.  they  were  of  the  same  blood  of  John  Winth.  of  Conn, 
whose  only  sis.  that  passed  infancy  was  first  w.  of  Samuel  Dudley, 
not  Symonds.  He  was  a  butcher,  and  deac.  of  the  first  ch.  but  revolted 
at  the  disingen.  managem.  by  wh.  Davenport  was  brot.  from  New  Haven, 
to  be  the  min.  and  bee.  one  of  the  founders  of  the  third  or  O.  S.  ch.  in 
1669,  and  d.  1671,  leav.  wid.  Mary.  SAMUEL,  Cambridge,  neph.  of  the 
preced.  from  wh.  by  his  will  he  rec.  £50,  m.  1671,  Mary,  d.  of  John 
Jackson,  first,  of  the  same,  had  Richard,  b.  16  July  1672 ;  Mary,  3  Nov. 
1673;  Samuel,  13  Oct.  1675;  Mindwell,  31  Aug.  1676;  Rebecca,  25 
Mar.  1678  ;  Experience;  Thomas,  27  Apr.  1682;  and  Ebenezer,  1685. 
He  was  freem.  1685,  liv.  on  S.  side  of  the  riv.  in  what  was  call.  Cam 
bridge  vil.  now  Newton,  for  separat.  of  wh.  he  was  active ;  had  sec.  w. 
Eliz.  wid.  of  George  Woodward,  d.  of  Thomas  Hammond  of  Watertown  ; 
and  a  third  w.  Mary  is  nam.  in  his  will.  He  d.  says  Jackson,  2  Mar. 
1695,  in  49th  yr.  wh.  makes  me  concur  with  the  diligent  and  judicious 
author  of  the  Hist,  of  N.  in  suppos.  tho.  ign.  of  the  name  of  his  f.  that  he 
was  b.  in  our  country.  Under  this  name,  Farmer  had  includ.  John  and 
John  jr.  of  Kittery  1652  ;  but  I  follow  the  rec.  in  spell,  them  Twisclale. 

TRULL,  JOHN,  Billerica,  m.  11  Dec.  1657,  Sarah,  d.  of  William

JOHN,  Cambridge  1636,  said  to  have  come  from  Newcastle  on  Tyne,  was 
fin.  £20  at  the  court,  Mar.  1637,  but  for  some  cause  so  slight  that  it 
might  have  found  lighter  censure,  as  in  June  foil,  three  quarters  of  the 
penalty  were  taken  off,  and,  at  the  general  show  of  similar  favor  in  1638,

Cambridge  rec.  comes,  also,  James,  7  Dec.  1647.  He  was  capt.  of  a 
trading  vessel,  and  may  have  been  the  man  in  the  Col.  Rec.  of  Conn.  I. 
162,  willing  to  accept  Matthew  Griswold's  oath  to  his  demand  in  1648,

He  was  a  shopkeep.  in  Charlestown  1673,  a  householder  in  1678,  and  d.

Judah,  and  perhaps  more.  The  s.  John  is  made  the  progenit.  of  the 
great  Conn.  fam.  and  the  common  error  found  support  in  the  Appx.

was  in  1703,  when  he  was  tak.  by  a  Barbary  corsair,  and  no  more  heard 
of.  Perhaps  he  was  k.  at  the  capt.  but  a  fam.  tradit.  is  ment.  that  he  d.

oldest  ch,  appears,  Mary,  32  yrs. ;  Eliz.  Palmer,  29 ;  Abigail  Rundle, 
28 ;  William,  27 ;  John,  25 ;  Sarah  (perhaps  the  tw.  call.  Mary),  21 ;

aged  80.  THOMAS,  Watertown,  s.  of  Joseph  the  first,  had  w.  Magdalen,

incivility  by  carr.  Lord  Ley  with  him  over  to  dine  with  Samuel  Maver 
ick  at  Noddle's  Isl.  However,  early  next  mo.  he  went  home,  and  ever 
after  stood  the  friend  of  our  people.  He  was  among  the  chief  men  in 
the  great  civil  war,  and  too  conscientious  or  too  ambitious  to  comply 
with  Cromwell,  wh.  secur.  him  in  prison  as  he  did  so  many  others  of  the 
republican  party  ;  yet  one  of  the  few  after  the  death  of  the  protector,  wh. 
did  not  feel  the  necessity  of  the  restorat.  of  the  monarchy,  for  wh.  he  was 
turned  out  of  the  ho.  as  one  wh.  had  not  been  constant  to  parliament 
privileges.  Maidstone,  a  sincere  commonwealth's  man,  in  his  letter  to 
Winth.  writ,  but  a  few  weeks  bef.  the  universal  outbreak  of  enthusiasm 
for  Charles  II.  explains  the  pleasure  of  the  people  at  this  dishonor  to 
Vane,  by  add.  that  he  was  "  unhappy  in  lying  under  the  most  catholick 
prejudice  of  any  man  I  know."  See  3  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  I.  196.  Being 
exempt  from  the  gen.  pardon  in  the  Act  of  indemnity,  that  may  well 
seem  bad  policy,  he  was  execut.  14  June  1662,  after  a  conviction  wh.  did 
not  benefit  the  royal  cause,  so  much  as  it  exalt,  the  suffer.  Nothing  in 
life  became  him  like  the  losing  of  it.  How  faithful  adher.  to  principle 
tho.  esteem,  erron.  will  surely  be  val.  is  shown  in  the  history  of  his 
descend.  The  only  s.  was  ennob.  by  William  III.  and  the  rank  in  the 
peerage  was,  for  his  lineal  offspr.  3d  Lord  Barnard,  raised  to  an  Earldom,

ancestor's  head)  had  s.  created  a  Duke,  with  right  to  quarter  the  arms

engag.  in  the  settlem.  at  Cape  Fear  in  N.  C.  and  in  1667  applied  for 
relief  here  to  be  sent  to  hims.  and  followers,  j  WILLIAM,  one  of  the 
Assist,  of  the  Gov.  and  Comp.  of  the  Mass.  Bay,  nam.  in  the  first 
Charter  by  K.  Charles,  Mar.  1629,  of  wh.  Cradock  was  first  Gov.  came 
next  yr.  in  the  fleet  with  the  next  Gov.  Winth.  but  went  home  in  the 
Lion,  the  first  mo.  aft.  reach,  this  shore  ;  came  again  1635,  in  the  Bless

12;  John,  10;  Ann,  6;  Margaret,  2  ;  and  Mary,  1.  He  sat  down  only 
short  time  at  Roxbury,  and  soon  fixed  at  Scituate,  in  ano.  jurisdict.  and 
join,  the  ch.  of  John  Lothrop,  28  Nov.  1636.  He  seems  to  have  differ, 
from  Mass,  policy,  especially  after  the  triumph  of  the  latitudinarians  at 
home,  wh.  desired  freedom  of  worship ;  but  as  he  could  not  bring  many 
to  his  opinions,  went  home  again  in  the  sh.  with  Child,  Fowle,  and  per 
haps  others  discontent,  as  hims.  rem.  to  Barbadoes,  there  d.  bef.  1  655. 
He  was  s.  of  John,  alderman  of  London,  wh.  had  gain,  high  reput.  for  ex 
ertions  in  organiz.  resist,  to  the  Spanish  Armada,  1588.  Mortifying  is 
the  ignorance  that  represents  this  fain,  as  coming  in  the  reign  of  James 
and  Charles  I ;  and  that  Miss  Thomas  copied  such  authority  is  to  be  refer, 
to  the  opposite  of  a  common  error,  that  unduly  magnifies  ancient  renown.

for  his  money  advanc.  in  the  first  coloniz.  our  Gen.  Ct.  1672,  made  gr.  of 
150  acres.  His  br.  Samuel,  ano.  patentee  of  Mass,  and  Assist,  nam.  by 
the  king  in  the  Charter,  was  too  rich,  and  much  absorb,  in  the  line  of  his 
traffic  at  London,  to  come  to  the  Id.  of  the  Pilgrims.  Seven  of  this 
name  had  been  gr.  at  Harv.  1771.  We  owe  much  to  Harris's  Cam 
bridge  Epit.  180,  for  acco.  of  the  memb.  of  this  honor,  fam.  in  the  mid.  of

C.  1733;  all  s.  he  says,  of  Leonard;  to  all  of  wh.  the  Catal.  of  the 
Univ.  gives  dates  of  d.  but  much  more  glad,  would  I  hear  of  Samuel,  H. 
C.  1695,  of  wh.  there  can  be  no  doubt,  from  his  position  at  the  head  of 
the  class,  that  he  was  of  the  same  stock.

the  royal  Gov.  by  the  perilous  expedient  of  extinct,  of  the  lights  in  the

overpower,  by  numbers,  and  with  his  lieut.  Sharpe  of  Brookline,  and 
half  his  comp.  cut  off*  21  Apr.  Yet  many  authorities  gave  the  date  18.

Who  was  his  f.  or  whence  he  came  to  N.  is  unkn. 

WAKE,  WILLIAM,  Salem,  was  by  our  Court,  in  1640,  advis.  to  go 
home  to  his  w.  but  seems  not  to  have  complied,  and  was  frequent,  fined 
for  his  disregard  until  he  d.  1654;  but  from  his  will  of  17  Apr.  in  that 
yr.  seems  to  have  left  no  ch.  exc.  Catharine,  and  beside  ment.  only  br. 
John,  both  in  Eng.

m.  30  Apr.  1689,  Abigail  Briggs,  had  Nathaniel,  b.  11  Feb.  1694. 
JOHN,  Danvers,  s.  perhaps  eldest  of  Jonathan,  by  w.  Mary  had  Eliz.  b. 
20  June  1693;  Jerusha,  20  Dec.  1696;  Mary,  11  Apr.  1699;  and

1678,  H.  C.  1698.  His  w.  d.  28  Dec.  1683 ;  and  he  m.  23  Apr.  1685, 
Deliverance,  d.  of  Thomas  Putnam,  and  had  Thomas ;  William  ;  Eben

Abraham,  capt.  and  freem.  1690,  and  d.  16  Dec.  1699.  JOSIAH,  Salem,

Salem  1637^  was  excommun.  by  Hugh  Peter's  influence  with  his  ch.  at 
the  same  time,  and  for  the  same  cause,  as  famous  Roger  Williams,  with 
whose  opinions  on  some  points  of  ecclesiast.  customs  he  sympathiz.  rem. 
Farmer  thinks,  to  Providence,  but  I  kn.  no  more. 

WALDEN,  EDWARD,  Wenham,  d.  June  1679,  in  his  will  of  22  Mar. 
preced.  ment.  s.  Nathaniel,  appoint,  excor.  other  ch.  all  under  age,  John,

wh.  as  Rev.  Joseph  Gerrish  sw.  he  told  him,  "  he  had  done  eno.  already." 
So  we  may  conclude,  that  these  were  elder.  See  Essex  Inst.  Coll.  III.

WALDRON.  389 

WALDO,  CORNELIUS,  Ipswich  1654,  m.  a  d.  of  John  Cogswell,  had 
John  and  Cornelius,  perhaps  others,  prob.  Eliz.  wh.  m.  4  Feb.  1673, 
Josiah  Bracket  of  Billerica,  rem.  to  Chelmsford,  was  deac.  and  d.  3 
June,  1701.  *  CORNELIUS,  Dunstable,  s.  of  the  preced.  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  ch.  16  Dec.  1685,  was  rep.  1689,  had  perhaps  Cornelius 
and  others.  *  JOHN,  Chelmsford  1675,  s.  of  the  first  Cornelius,  was  rep. 
a  short  sess.  1689,  for  Dunstable.  He  rem.  in  the  Ind.  war  to  Wind- 
ham,  Conn,  there  d.  a.  1700.  His  will  of  14  Apr.  in  that  yr.  names  w. 
Rebecca,  wh.  was  d.  of  Samuel  Adams  of  C.  s.  John,  and  refers  to  other 
childr.  not  nam.  His  inv.  was  £292.  beside  the  est.  at  Chelmsford. 
ROBERT,  Charlestown,  d.  2  Aug.  1677,  says  Farmer  MS.  but  I  doubt 
he  was  only  trans.  Five  of  this  name  had,  in  1818,  been  gr.  at  Harv. 
and  one  at  Yale,  and  others  at  other  N.  E.  coll. 

WALDRON,   WALDREN,   WALDERNE,   or  WALROND,   ALEXANDER,

1676,  naming  five  brs.  to  take  his  prop,  with  a  sis.  Mary,  namely,  Isaac, 
William,  George,  Samuel,  and  Edward,  as  Farmer,  MS.  shows.     ED 
WARD,  Ipswich  1648,  perhaps  br.  of  the  preced.  prob.  went  home  soon. 
GEORGE,   Dover   1661,   of  wh.  we  hear  no  more,  but  his  being  br.  of 
Alexander,  exc.  that  he  rem.  to  Boston,  there  by  w.  Rachel  had  John,  b. 
25  Aug.  1676;  and  Benjamin,  22  May,  1679;  unless,  indeed,  he  were 
that  other  GEORGE,  of  Boston,  wh.  by  w.  Constant,  had  Benjamin,  b.  24 
Apr.  1678,  and  no    more   on  the  rec.     ISAAC,  Portsmouth,  br.  of  the

d.  soon;  Priscilla,  again,  23  June  1680;  and  Priscilla,  again,  12  July 
1681  ;  and  he  d.  1683.     JOHN,  Dover,  s.  of  William  of  the  same,  had 
w.  Dorothy,  was,  in  1665,  40  yrs.  old;  and  perhaps  late  in  life  in.  Eliz. 
wid.  of  the  William  Home,  k.  by  the  Ind.  at  the  assault  on  that  town, 
27  June  1689.     JOHN,   Marblehead,  1673,  m.  25  Sept.  1679,  Dorcas 
Rice,  had  been  perhaps  of  Ipswich,  the  yr.  bef.    The  childr.  were  Mary,

Portsmouth,  s.  prob.  of  the  preced.  was  liv.  it  is  said,  in  1688,  and  prob. 
many  yrs.  later.  JOHN,  Portsmouth,  not  perhaps  of  this  fam.  unless  he 
were  s.  of  the  sec.  Thomas,  was  one  of  the  royal  counc.  1692.  THOMAS, 
Charlestown  1628,  found  there  by  the  first  comers  of  the  Mass.  comp.  in. 
1629,  and  call,  a  smith,  but  rem.  a.  1631,  to  Portsmouth,  where  he  was; 
better  treat,  than  in  Mass.  serv.  on  the  gr.  jury  1654,  and  d.  1660.  In 
Gen.  Reg.  IX.  220,  one  says  his  will  was  made  15  and  pro.  21  Nov.  of

call,  a  witch  in  1657,  but  we  may  rejoice  that  the  epithet  was  not  deadly. 
He  left  s.  Thomas  and  Jeremiah,  beside  ds.  of  wh.  one  m.  successiv.

1642;  Augustine,  14  Dec.  1646;  James,  25  July  1648;  and  perhaps 
more,  but  the  blank  in  bapt.  occurs  early  in  the  rec.  He  d.  1  Jan.  1653 
at  Bilboa  in  Spain,  and  his  descend,  were  early  at  Woburn.  By  fam. 
tradit.  he  came  from  the  vicinity  of  Berwick  on  Tweed.  BENJAMIN, 
Boston,  one  of  the  found,  of  Brattle  st.  ch.  DANIEL,  Sudbury,  s.  of

GEORGE,  Reading,  by  Eaton  call,  one  of  the  early  sett,  but  was,  I  think,  s. 
of  an  earlier  one,  and  may  be  mistake  for  Walkup,  or  if  Walker,  possib. 
that  man  of  Portsmouth  in  1689,  wh.  d.  7  Dec.  1748,  aged  86.  Farmer,

MS.  HENRY,  Gloucester  1 647,  perhaps  of  Ipswich  1651,  m.  as  her  third 
h.  at  G.  26  Sept.  1662,  Mary,  wid.  of  William  Brown,  wh.  had  been  wid. 
of  Abraham  Robinson,  was  freem.  1672,  and  d.  1693.  Yet  ano.  Henry 
may  have  been  the  resid.  of  Ipswich.  ||  ISAAC,  Boston,  merch.  by  w. 
Susanna,  wid.  of  Henry  Symonds,  m.  1644,  had  Isaac,  bapt.  12  Oct.  1645, 
a.  15  days  old,  in  the  right  of  his  w.  recom.  says  our  ch.  rec.  from  the 
ch.  of  Salem,  wh.  d.  in  few  days ;  and  2  May  foil,  he  join,  our  ch.  of  B. 
and  was  made  freem.  a  few  days  aft.  had  Leah,  bapt.  6  Dec.  aft.  His 
w.  d.  30  Sept.  1646.  He  was  active  propr.  of  Lancaster,  but  did  not 
rem.  thither,  had  second  or  third  w.  Susanna,  if  the  rec.  is  right,  and  by 
her  had  Experience,  bapt.  20  Oct.  1650;  Nicholas,  b.  1  Dec.  1651; 
Stephen,  13,  bapt.  17  Aug.  1656  ;  and  possib.  more;  and  w.  Hannah  in 
1682;  was  lieut.  ar.  co.  1676,  and  d.  19  Oct.  1688.  Yet  that  he  had  w. 
bef.  m.  with  that  wid.  of  Symonds,  seems  clear  eno.  for  in  Sept.  1662 
is  rec.  of  a  deed  from  him  to  Susannah  Walker,  his  d.  of  "  that  little 
shop  wh.  now  she  keeps."  This  opinion  I  still  retain,  tho.  in  Mar.  1666 
is  found  ano.  deed  of  hims.  and  Susanna,  his  (third)  w.  to  their  d. 
Susanna.  ISRAEL,  Woburn,  had  Israel,  b.  29  Sept.  1672,  d.  at  11  yrs. ;

24  Sept.  1686;  Abigail,  26  Sept.  1688;  and  Edward,  6  Nov.  1690. 
He  was  freem.  1674,  may  have  been  br.  of  Edward,  but  perhaps  both 
came  from  Eng.  Susanna  m.  18  Oct.  1697,  Ebenezer  Locke,  and  d.  13 
June  1699.  JABEZ,  Eastham,  youngest  s.  of  William  of  the  same,  by 
w.  Eliz.  had  Richard,  b.  1  June,  1695;  Rejoice,  13  May  1697;  Mary,

Jabez ;  Sarah ;  and  Patience.  JACOB,  Killing  worth,  perhaps  s.  of 
Robert  of  Boston,  propound,  for  freem.  1672;  as  admor.  of  est.  of 
Samuel,  one  of  the  s.  of  Rev.  Adam  Blakeman,  whose  wid.  Eliz.  he  m. 
6  Dec.  1670,  he  had  great  trouble  with  the  wid.  and  other  ch.  of  Adam, 
as  in  the  Col.  Rec.  of  Trumbull,  II.  in  many  places  appears.  He  had 
Samuel,  b.  7  Nov.  1671;  Moses,  bapt.  Dec.  1673;  John,  9  Oct.  1674; 
Eliz.  July  1676;  Mary,  1  Jan.  1679;  and  Mercy,  11  Mar.  1681.

is  lost,  and  I  conject.  that  the  order  of  numerals  of  the  yr.  is  wrong,  and 
should  be  1673,  and  points  to  the  foil.  JAMES,  Taunton,  s.  prob.  of  the

JOHN,  Boston,  freem.  14  May  1634,  had  been  of  the  ch.  of  Roxbury.

Charlestown,  m.  Ann  or  Hannah,  d.  of  John  Mirick,  unless  she  were  d.

and  Eliz.  W.  for  the  partition  of  the  est.  renders  this  certain.  One

many  yrs.  aft.  John  Tisdale,  not  Brown,  as  plausib.  is  said  in  Geneal.

Apr.  1640,  but  it  is  beyond  my  means  to  conject.  wh.  she  was,  unless

WALL,  JAMES,  Portsmouth  1631,  carpenter,  sent  over  by  Mason  the

WALLACE,  is  not  found  in  Farmer,  nor,  I  believe,  in  N.  E.  bef.  18th 
cent.  By  the  Index  in  sev.  vols.  of  the  Geneal.  Reg.  it  was  introd.  when 
Wallis  was  not  seen  there,  tho.  in  the  passages  referred  to,  if  relat.  to

WALLEY,  CHRISTOPHER,  Concord,  freem.  1682,  whose  name  by  Paige 
is  read  Walley  from  the  Col.  Rec.  and  by  Shurtleff,  Walers ;  so  unusual 
a  patronymic  that  I  doubt  the  skilfulness  of  the  elk.  JOHN,  Boston, 
mariner,  freem.  May  1673,  adm.  the  same  day  with  John  W.  the  merch.

one  or  two  ch.  with  same  bapt.  names ;  so  that  the  confus.  seems  inex- 
tricab.  Prob.  he  had  sec.  w.  Sarah,  and  by  her  Hannah,  b.  23  July

many  hours  devot.  at  var.  times  to  this  name,  I  acknowledge  little  confi 
dence  and  less  satisfact.  j  ||  JOHN,  Boston,  s.  of  Rev.  Thomas  of  Lon

25  Aug.  1684;  Abiel,  30  Aug.  1686;  William,  23  Dec.  1687;  John,  19 
July  1689;  but  Bridgman  makes  him  b.  at  Bristol,  11  Sept.  1691. 
Strong  suspicion  is  felt  that  some  of  these  may  be  ch.  of  the  other  John. 
But  indeed  the  whole  is  uncert.  exc.  John.  He  was  of  ar.  co.  1671, 
freem.  1673,  capt.  in  the  milit.  1679,  in  1683  rem.  to  Barnstable,  or 
other  town  in  Plymouth  jurisdict.  was  engag.  much  in  settlem.  of  Bris 
tol,  and  assist,  of  that  Col.  1684,  and  one  of  the  council  nam.  in  the 
royal  commissn.  to  Andros  1686.  The  yr.  foil,  the  overthrow  of  A. 
Walley  had  the  disadvantage  of  being  chief  milit.  officer  in  the  expedit. 
of  1690  against  Quebec,  wh.  Sir  William  Phips  had  project,  and  of  wh. 
he  took  all  the  command;  and  thus  was  Walley  reliev.  of  real  responsi 
bility,  tho.  expos,  to  pop.  censure  by  the  errors  of  Phips.  Sir  W.  on 
board  ship  summoned  the  city,  and  directed  all  the  land  operations  of 
the  campaign,  for  wh.  he  had  no  adequate  skill,  and  in  the  ill  success  of 
wh.  his  eminent,  incautious  panegyrist  natural,  saw  more  of  "  the  hand 
of  heaven  "  than  of  the  ignorance  and  rashness  of  his  hero.  See  Magn. 
II.  51,  the  most  curious  biogr.  of  Sir  William  Phips,  afterwards  made 
Gov.  of  Mass,  by  the  f.  of  Mather  dictat.  to  King  William  III.  Hutch. 
Hist,  of  Mass.  I.  gives  Walley's  acco.  in  Appx.  In  the  same  charter 
W.  was  nam.  of  the  Council,  and  by  the  Gov.  and  Council  appoint,  one

might  be  suspect,  for  58,  if  as  Bridgman,  34,  says  he  was  b.  at  our 
Barnstable.  Nothing  can  be  more  certain,  than  that  he  was  b.  at  least 
8  or  10  yrs.  bef.  the  com.  of  Rev.  Thomas,  for  he  was  an  Assist,  of

preced.  settles  the  question.  See  Geneal.  Reg.  IX.  49.  His  wid.  Han 
nah  m.  THOMAS,  Barnstable,  s.  of  the  preced.  prob.  some  yrs.  older 
than  John,  the  milit.  com.  had  fam.  we  kn.  as  two  m.  ds.  are  ment.  in  the 
will  of  their  uncle.  Perhaps  he  had  one  or  more  sons ;  but  no  certain 
kn.  has  reach,  me.  THOMAS,  Boston,  m.  22  Sef>t.  1692,  Christian  John 
son  ;  but  I  kn.  nothing  more  of  either.  WILLIAM,  Charlestown,  m.  18 
Feb.  1684,  Sarah  Marshal,  perhaps  d.  of  William. 

WALLINGFORD,  or  WALLINSFORD,  JOHN,  Dover,  m,  16  Dec.  1687, 
Mary,  d.  of  John  Tuttle  the  sec.  of  the  same,  had  Thomas,  b.  a.  1697, 
and  prob.  others,  bef.  or  aft.  or  both.  NICHOLAS,  Bradford,  m.  4  Dec. 
1678,  Eliz.  Palmer.  It  is  strange  that  we  kn.  nothing  of  this  fam.  for 
wid.  Sarah  hav.  ten  ch.  wish,  admin,  of  her  h.  (one  of  the  ch.  may  have 
been  that  Nicholas)  applied  to  the  Gen.  Ct.  1683  for  some  purpose,  on 
wh.  the  Ct.  resolv.  that  the  County  Ct.  in  Essex  was  authoriz.  to  do 
all  that  was  proper.  I  conject.  that  her  h.  was  Nicholas  of  Rowley 
1663. 

WALLINGTON,  NICHOLAS,  Newbury,  "  a  poor  boy"  says  the  custom- 
ho.  rec.  of  the  passeng.  in  the  Confidence  from  Southampton  1638,  when 
by  the  place  in  wh.  his  name  is  insert.  I  judge  that  he  was,  with  others, 
serv.  of  Stephen  Kent;  a  short  time  was  of  Rowley,  a.  1663;  m.  30 
Aug.  1654,  says  Coffin,  Sarah,  d.  of  Henry  Travers  of  N.  had  John,  b. 
16  Sept.  1655,  d.  soon;  Nicholas,  2  Jan.  1657;  John,  again,  7  Apr. 
1659;  Sarah,  20  May  1661;  Mary,  20  Aug.  1663;  James,  6  Oct. 
1665;  Hannah,  27  Nov.  1667;  William,  7  Feb.  1670;  and  perhaps 
others  aft.  was  freem.  1670;  and  Coffin  says  was  tak.  at  sea,  perhaps 
sev.  yrs.  aft.  by  some  Barbary  corsair,  no  doubt,  and  never  came  back. 
My  suggest,  is  that  he  is  the  h.  of  that  wid.  wh.  is  ment.  in  the  article 
preced.  for  sometimes  the  name  is  Wallingford. 

WALLIS,  or  WALLACE,  GEORGE,  a  youth  of  15  yrs.  came  in  the 
Abigail,  from  London  1635,  perhaps  s.  of  Ralph,  wh.  came  at  the  same 
time;  in  Dec.  1656  was  of  Rumney  Marsh,  part  of  Boston  now  Chel

name  as  represent,  on  the  rec.  by  the  wild  hand  of  the  elk.  but  in  Hutch. 
Coll.  398,  and  Paige's  list  of  Freemen,  I  imagine  we  have  the  true  one.

WALTHAM,  *  HENRY,  Weymouth  merch.  by  his  business  relat.  I  judge 
he  was  from  Weymouth,  in  Co.  Dorset,  engag.  1635,  with  Dudley  and 
others,  to  promote  fishing  trade,  rep.  1636,  had  Henry,  Thomas,  William, 
Ann,  and  Phillis,  prob.  all  b.  in  Eng.  d.  29  Jan.  1659,  unless  this  were 
his  s.  of  the  same  name.  HENRY,  Weymouth,  s.  of  the  preced.  may 
have  had  Jonathan,  and  other  ch.  *  THOMAS,  Weymouth,  s.  of  Henry 
the  first,  was  rep.  1636.  WILLIAM,  Weymouth,  br.  of  the  preced.  fin. 
by  Gen.  Ct.  for  drunk.  1639,  and  d.  next  yr.  unm.  it  is  presum.  for  his

names  no  w.  nor  ch.  tho.  we  are  indebt.  to  it  for  kn.  of  the  f.  and  brs.  and 
sis.  Oft.  it  is  Walton  in  the  rec.  but  that  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII.  349, 
call,  him  s.  of  William,  may  be  a  mistake  of  the  bapt.  name  as  well  as 
spell,  of  surname. 

WALTON,  GEORGE,  Exeter  1639,  had  been  fin.  for  swear.  1638,  as 
our  Col.  Rec.  I.  shows;  was  of  Dover  1648,  was  a  vintner,  1662,  at 
Portsmouth,  had  George,  b.  1649;  Shadrach,  1658;  Dorcas;  Mary; 
and  perhaps  other  ch.  by  w.  Alice;  and  d.  1686,  at  the  neighbo.  town  of 
Newcastle,  or  Great  isl.  aged  more  than  70.  His  relig.  was  not  suffic. 
in  his  old  age,  to  protect  him  from  diabolic,  disturb,  in  1682,  of  wh.  in 
Mather's  Magn.  VI.  69,  some  trifling  report  may  be  seen,  but  it  is 
slightly  shorten,  from  his  f.'s  Remarkab.  Providences.  Similar  occur,  in 
the  same  yr.  at  the  same  neighbor,  are  relat.  in  the  next,  artic.  in  both 
works.  Much  of  the  same  wretched  stuff  in  the  Magnalia,  was  by  the 
s.  borrowed  from  the  same  storehouse.  HENRY,  Boston,  by  w.  Mary, 
had  Job,  b.  29  Sept.  1639;  Adam,  8  May  1643;  William,  29  Sept. 
1645.  JOHN,  Portsmouth  1640,  had  come,  a.  1638,  from  Plymouth,  in 
Eng.  and  aft.  liv.  here  above  20  yrs.  was  sent  by  our  Gen.  Ct.  home  for

Marblehead,  youngest  s.  of  Rev.  William,  a.  petitnr.  in  1668,  was  prob. 
unm.  a  mariner,  struck  by  lightning  23  June  1673,  at  sea,  made  nuncup. 
will,  as  Essex  Inst.  II.  126  gives.  NATHANIEL,  Marblehead  1658,  s.  of 
Rev.  William,  was  there  much  esteem,  freem.  1680.  SAMUEL,  Marble- 
head  1668-74,  s.  of  Rev.  William,  is  by  Eaton,  nam.  among  the  early 
sett,  at  Reading.  *  SHADRACH,  Newcastle,  N.  II.  s.  of  George,  was,  in 
1689,  aft.  overthrow  of  Andros,  desir.  of  union  betw.  Mass,  and  N.  II. 
a  capt.  and  major,  in  Ind.  war;  engag.  in  the  campaign  of  1707  for  conq. 
of  Nova  Scotia;  made  a  royal  counsellor  1716,  d.  3  Oct.  1741,  aged  83. 
He  was  f.  of  George  ;  Benjamin,  H.  C.  1729  ;  Eliz. ;  Abigail ;  Sarah  ; 
and  Mary.  *  THOMAS,  Weymouth,  s.  I  suppose,  of  the  first  Henry,

Coll.  Cambridge,  where  he  took  his  degr.  1621  and  1625,  and  was,  no

m.  a  Conant;  Martha  m.  a  Munjoy,  perhaps  Walter;  and  Mary  m. 
Robert  Bartlett.  Mather  spelt  this,  in  his  list  of  min.  of  the  first  classis, 
Magn.  III.  3,  Waltham,  and  his  authority  (suppos.  he  must  sometimes  be 
right)  I  preferred  to  Johnson's  in  my  note  to  Winth.  I.  169,  for  wh.  Dr. 
Farmer  admin,  gentle  rebuke.  Increase  Mather  relat.  in  Remark.

Presid.  in  June  1644,  and  more  unfortun.  in  deserv.  the  disgrace,  yet 
thot.  worthy  to  have  his  degr.  of  A.  B.  next  yr.  This  strange  event  is 
told  by  Winth.  II.  166,  without  giv.  names,  wh.  are  found  in  the  very 
valua.  Hist,  of  Newbury,  by  Coffin,  41.  Eis  assoc.  in  the  infamy  of  the 
juvenile  offence,  was  a  s.  of  Rev.  Thomas  Welde.  He  went  home,  soon 
aft.  prob.  with  his  f.  wh.  procur.  favor  for  him  at  Oxford,  where  he  was 
in  1648,  made  a  fellow  of  Magdalen,  and  had  a  master's  degr.  and  in 
1649,  an  M.  D.  JOHN,  Ipswich,  physician,  had  perhaps  liv.  in  Boston, 
for  a  mortg.  to  him  of  est.  rec.  here  Vol.  X.  233,  titles  him  now  of  Ips 
wich,  chirurg.  and  the  date  is  9  Oct.  1652.  His  Excor.  Robert  Paine 
sold,  Dec.  1677,  the  Boston  est.  to  William  Hudson.  He  perhaps  resid. 
at  Hampton  1640,  some  time  at  Salem,  was  cous.  of  Rev.  John,  and  that 
benefact.  of  Harv.  Coll.  ment.  by  Pierce,  35  ;  also,  I  presume,  the  freem. 
of  1 643 ;  in  his  will  of  28  Dec.  1 652,  pro.  on  new.  yrs.  day,  25  Mar. 
1656,  speaks  of  no.  w.  or  ch.  [See  abstr.  in  Essex  Inst.  I.  50.]  His 
benefaction  to  Harv.  Coll.  was  realiz.  in  1658,  as  the  invaluab.  History, 
by  Quincy,  shows  us:  "obtained  in  horses  £72."  See  I.  513  of  that 
work.  JOHN,  Haverhill,  elder  br.  of  James,  b.  at  Haverhill  in  Co. 
Suffk.  5  Nov.  1606,  as  Mather  tells,  III.  cap.  31,  or  p.  167  in  the  Lon 
don  ed.  of  Magn.«  Yet  "  where  his  educ.  was,  I  have  not  been  inform." 
he  says,  "  the  first  notice  of  him  that  occurs  to  me,  being  in  the  yr. 
1639,  when  he  came  over  into  these  parts."  In  Eng.  I  found  that  he 
was  matric.  at  Emanuel,  1622,  and  had  his  A.  B.  1626,  and  A.  M.  1(530. 
He  had  begun  his  serv.  in  Eng.  "at  a  very  small  place"  wh.  was  Ilad- 
leigh  in  Co.  Suffk.  and  in  this  country,  preach,  first  at  Kittery  or  York 
in  1641,  as  Winth.  II.  29  relates,  but  Mather,  wh.  loves  always  to  be 
indefinite,  and  sometimes  hides  his  ignorance  under  periphrasis,  would 
magnify  his  watch  over  the  flock  at  H.  to  "as  many  yrs.  as  tlmre  are 
sabbaths  in  the  yr."  We  kn.  that  he  was  chos.  and  ord.  in  Oct.  1G45, 
when, the  ch.  was  gather.  Winth.  II.  252;  and  that  flock  he  could,  of 
course,  serve  but  48  yrs.  He  d.  27  Dec.  1693;  and  could  the  truth 
ever  be  sufficient  for  the  author  of  the  Magnalia,  he  might  have  call,  it  a 
very  honor,  and  protract,  course  of  duty.  On  19  Nov.  preced.  he  preach, 
an  excell.  sermon,  enter,  the  88th  yr.  of  his  age,  "  the  only  sermon  that 
ever  was,  or  perhaps  ever  will  be  preach,  in  this  country,  at  such  an 
age,"  adds  the  ecclesiast.  historian,  tho.  since  that  day  sev.  more  aged 
pastors  have  in  like  kind,  obey,  their  call.  He  was  prob.  the  freem.  of  3 
May  1649.  By  his  w.  Alice  Edmunds,  brot.  from  Eng.  wh.  d.  bef.  him, 
he  had  Eliz.  b.  7  Apr.  1647,  wh.  m,  1665  Nathaniel  Saltonstall,  and  d.

aft.  hear,  of  d.  of  his  s.  Thomas,  as  inconsist.  tradit.  tells,  prob.  a.  1690, 
took  charge  of  his  gr.childr.  and  d.  says  the  gr.-st.  in  Apr.  1698,  aged 
79.  Possib.  he  had  serv.  fifty-five  yrs.  bef.  in  the  Parliam.  army  in  the 
gr.  civil  war,  and  that  was  the  origin  of  the  fable  as  to  Thomas.  But 
Thomas  d.  at  mid.  age,  and  as  the  sacred  tradit.  of  serv.  in  Cromwell's 
army  belongs  to  him,  and  not  his  f.  it  will  be  seen  that  he  was  not  old 
eno.  to  be  a  powder  monkey  to  the  gr.  Protector.  *  JOHN,  Branford,  a

b.  23  Feb.  1691,  was  freem.  1690,  and  selectman  sev.  yrs.  but  rern.  as 
Jackson  thinks,  late  in  life.  WILLIAM,  Maryborough,  eldest  s.  of  the 
first  Obadiah,  by  w.  Judith  had  William,  b.  9  June  1691  ;  Jemima,  5 
July  1693  ;  Gamaliel,  2  Oct.  1694;  Jacob,  9  Mar.  1697  ;  Judith,  6  Mar.

this  name  Farmer  in  MS.  finds  fourteen  among  gr.  at  Harv.  five  at  Yale, 
and  nine  at  other  N.  E.  coll.  1834. 

WARD  ALL,  WARDHALL,  WERDALL,  WARDLE,  WOODELL  or  WAR- 
DELL,  sometimes  WARDWELL  (and  Farmer  thinks  the  last  form  may  be 
the  most  correct),  ELIAKIM,  Hampton,  s.  of  Thomas,  m.  Lydia  Perkins, 
was  a  favorer  of  Quakers,  so  far  as  to  show  his  hospitality,  for  wh.  he 
was  abused,  as  is  seen  in  the  Hist,  of  Sewel,  Lond.  4to  ed.  p.  330.  Of 
his  w.  is  told  in  the  County  Ct.  rec.  May  1663,  the  surpris.  extra vag. 
behav.  in  going  naked  into  the  meeting  ho.  at  Newbury,  for  wh.  she  was 
whipt,  and  this  seems  to  have  led  Bishop,  in  his  New  Eng.  Judged,  to 
more  surpris.  vindicat.  of  her.  See  in  Coffin's  Hist.  66.  ELIHU, 
Hampton,  s.  of  William  of  Boston,  m.  26  May  1665,  Eliz.  Wade,  per

Prudence,  6  Oct.  1670;  Jonathan,  26  July  1672  ;  and  Susanna,  9  Aug.

1675.  He  was  execut.  1692,  for  the  damnable  or  preposterous  crime  of 
witchcraft,  Farmer  says  he  had  Samuel,  William,  and  Eliakim.  THOMAS, 
Boston  1634,  perhaps  br.  of  William,  a  shoemaker,  adm.  of  the  ch.  9 
Nov.  of  that  yr.  and  freem.  4  Mar.  foil,  by  w.  Eliz.  had  Eliakim,  bapt. 
23  Nov.  1634;  Martha,  b.  Aug.  bapt.  3  Sept.  1637;  Benjamin,  b.  Feb. 
1640;  and  Samuel,  16  May  1643;  but  the  last  two  were  not  bapt.  at 
Boston,  on  acco.  of  the  heresy  or  rem.  of  f.  and  d.  10  Dec.  1646.  He 
was  disarm.  Nov.  1637,  as  a  supporter  of  Wheelwright,  yet  in  Jan. 
1639,  as  they  had  long  bef.  rem.  to  Exeter,  was  recommend,  from  our 
ch.  with  eight  others  to  "  the  ch.  of  Christ  at  the  falls  of  Piscataqua,  if 
they  be  rightly  gathered,"  and  in  1 643  had  commiss.  from  Mass.  Ct.  to 
try  small  causes  there.  Perhaps  he  was  of  Ipswich  1648.  UZELL,

collector  must  be  in  error  in  assum.  that  this  was  the  Robert  impress,  for

Roger  Clap,  wh.  in  his  humble,  but  invalu.  tract,  gives  the  best  acco.  of 
him,  had  in  his  youth,  heard  his  teaching ;  yet  we  kn.  not,  at  wh.  of  the 
univ.  he  was  bred,  if  at  either,  tho.  so  much  may  be  presum.  as  he  was 
episcop.  ord.  At  Plymouth,  bef.  embarc.  he  with  an  elder  br.  in  the 
gospel,  Rev.  John  Maverick,  and  many  of  their  fellow  passeng.  had

six  yrs.  preced.  a  dissatisf.  party  of  the  worshippers  had  desired  the 
serv.  of  a  younger  preach.  From  the  whole  page  of  Magn.  III.  121,  it 
is  found  that  he  was  afflict,  with  melancholy  in  his  latter  days,  and 
earlier  had  deliv.  sermons  from  notes ;  but  betw.  these  two  distinguish,

in  the  repetit.  of  the  names  in  the  same  instr.  becomes  Warner.  In

Bissell,  as  from  the  indistinct  express,  of  Geneal.  Reg.  XIV.  135,  may

1674;  and  Richard,  13  Aug.  1676.  He  was  freem.  1675.  SAMUEL, 
Springfield,  or  Hadley,  by  my  conject.  is  the  man  assoc.  with  Thomas 
Parsons,  in  votes  for  reimburs.  to  them  by  our  Gen.  Ct.  Vol.  V.  58  and 
75,  for  cattle  tak.  by  a  commiss.  for  the  use  of  troops  in  1675,  as  I  judge.

THOMAS,  Wells,  wh.  took  the  o.  of  alleg.  to  Mass.  1653,  may  be  the 
same  wh.  in  1639,  had  been  fined  [Rec.  I.  270]  for  a  quarrel  with 
Richard  Rodman ;  and  perhaps  was  the  fisherman  wh.  d.  at  Boston 
1660.  THOMAS,  Norwalk,  sold  1  Sept.  1665,  his  ho.  and  Ids.  says  Hall, 
wh.  tells  no  more :  and  I  conject.  that  he  was  k.  by  the  Ind.  at  Hatfield, 
19  Oct.  1675,  prob.  a  soldier.  THOMAS,  Waterbury,  s.  of  the  first  John

the  Gov.  inform,  the  Gen.  Ct.  that  in  Aug.  he  perform  the  duty  as  in 
Col.  Rec.  V.  191.  Perhaps  he  was  nothing  but  an  official  and  soon

1643.  Yet,  tho.  some  of  his  est.  was  confisc.  at  the  Court  in  Oct.  1643, 
he  got  off  better  than  most  of  his  fellow  misbelievers  wh.  narrow,  escap. 
sentence  of  death,  still  he  was  bound  to  appear  in  May  foil.  See  Winth. 
II.  146-8.  At  the  Gen.  Ct.  in  May  next  "being  found  erroneous,  heret 
ical,  and  obstinate,  it  was  agreed  that  he  should  be  detain,  prisoner  till 
the  Quarter  Ct.  in  the  7th  mo.  unless  five  of  the  magistr.  do  find  cause 
to  send  him  away ;  wh.  if  they  do,  it  is  order,  that  he  shall  not  ret. 
within  this  jurisdict.  upon  pain  of  death,"  as  the  Col.  Rec.  II.  73  says ; 
as  also  Felt's  Ann.  II.  579  ;  but  in  his  Eccles.  Hist.  I.  558,  the  tender 
heart  of  the  writer  prevail,  over  his  judgm.  to  suppress  the  last  words. 
Yet  even  an  Ecclesiast.  Hist,  should  not  be  afraid  of  the  truth.  He  was

his  coming  in  the  Lion  with  Roger  Williams  Feb.  1631,  no  respect  is 
felt,  but  its  origin  may  easily  be  referr.  to  the  subordinate  truth  that  he

changed  names ;  but  it  is  of  very  slight  importance,  for  his  will  of  2

reason  to  believe  any  of  my  own  chilelr.  are  surv."  This  latter  AV.  was 
wid.  of  Thomas  Hull,  d.  of  William  Townsend.  He  was  a  cooper,  a 
man  of  substance,  of  ar.  co.  1671,  was  lieut.  and  serv.  at  castle  island 
under  Roger  Clap,  was  farmer  gener.  of  the  impost  in  1674,  and  lost 
money  by  his  speculat.  and  some  persons  wished  him  to'  be  made  post 
master,  in  place  of  John  Hayward  the  notary,  perhaps  out  of  compassion 
for  that  ill  success.  RICHARD,  "  was  of  Scituate  in  1651,"  says  Farmer,

Hosier,  wh.  early  in  1636  got  rid  of  him  to  William  Almy  to  take  him 
from  Israel  Stoughton,  Jennison,  Burton,  and  Hosier  having  to  pay  20s. 
each  for  the  benefit  of  Almy.  See  pp.  119,  122,  123,  and  163  of  Col.

asked  if  Peter  Weare  and  Peter  Wyer  were  the  same  man.  ROBERT, 
Hampton,  the  freem.  of  1678,  may  have  been  br.  of  Nathaniel.  In  a 
very  valua.  note  to  Belkn.  Hist,  by  Farmer  in  his  Ed.  364,  5,  uncer 
tainty  rests  even  on  the  f.  of  Meshech,  b.  1714,  H.  C.  1735,  one  of  the 
most  serviceable  men  that  State  has  ever  produc.  wh.  was  its  first  Presid.

spirit  in  our  governm.  sent  her  home  by  the  same  ship.  The  silence 
of  Hutchinson  I.  196,  permits  us  to  indulge  such  a  suspicion  of  rare

aged  23.  THOMAS,  Boston,  by  w.  Eliz.  had  Sarah,  b.  6  Nov.  1674,

WEBB,  ADEY,  ADY,  ADDEY,  or  ADDY,  Plymouth  1631,  was  tax.  in 
two  foil.  yrs.  and  on  the  list  of  those  able  to  bear  arms  in  1 643,  his 
name  appears  with  a  star  bef.  it.     He  was  not  a  severe  puritan,  but  oft. 
prosecut.  for  work,  on  the  Lord's  day,  bound  as  serv.  to  Gov.  Prence, 
and  prob.  had  no  w.  or  ch.     See  Felt,  Eccles.  Hist.  I.  347.     BENJAMIN, 
Maiden,  m.  7  Dec.  1669,  Mercy,  d.  of  William  Bucknam,  and,  were  it  in 
my  power,  I  would  gladly  tell  more  than  that  he  was  freem.  1690. 
*  CHRISTOPHER,  Braintree,  freem.   1645,  had  perhaps  Peter,  but  the 
old  town  rec.  is  incomplete,  not  nam.  the  mo.  nor  date ;  and  it  cannot 
be  that,  as  Farmer  had  it,  he  was  b.  1657,  and  so  more  likely  to  be  s.  of 
sec.  Christopher ;  was  one  of  the  petitnrs.  that  yr.  for  leave  to  go  and 
possess  the  Id.  from  wh.  our  governm.  had  unrighteous,  driv.  Gorton, 
Holden,  and  other  misbeliev.  planters ;  but  the  right  of  the  sufferers  was 
vindicat.  in  Eng.    *  CHRISTOPHER,  Billerica,  prob.  s.  of  the  preced.  b.  in 
Eng.  m.  18  Jan.  1656,  Hannah  Scott,  perhaps  d.  of  the  first  Benjamin,  had 
John,  b.  23  Oct.  foil.;  Samuel,  Aug.  1660,  as  the  town  rec.  certifies,  tho. 
I  have  seen  a  statem.  that  it  was  28  July  1660;  Christopher,  25  Mar. 
1663;  Hannah,  5  Sept.  1665;  Benjamin,  12  Apr.  1667;  Mary,  6  Sept, 
1669;  Joseph,  15  Mar.  1672;  Abigail,  13  Oct.  1675.     He  was  town 
elk.  1678,  early  in  life,  and  rep.  in  the  difficult  times  of  1689  and  90,  d. 
30  May  1694,  aged  64.     DANIEL,  Salem,  licens.  as  innholder  1689,  had 
m.  20  July  1675,  Mary  Beckett,  d.  of  John,  had  John,  b.  17  Apr.  1676; 
Margaret,  20  Feb.  1678,  d.  at  2  yrs. ;  Perez,  1  Apr.  1680;  Mary,  14 
Aug.  1682;  Daniel,  5  Sept.  1688;  and  Eliz.  17  May  1692.     FRANCIS, 
by  Mr.  Felt  in  Ann.  I.  171,  is  represent,  erron.  as  coming  in  the  fleet 
with  Higginson  in  June  1629  to  Salem,  and  by  him  correct,  as  in  II. 
630  a  doubt  is  express,  however.     He  was  a  contrib.  of  £50.  to  encour 
age  the  planta.  but  never  came  over,  I  think ;  and  was  one  of  the  most 
active  promoters,  no  other  mem.  of  the  comp.  being  so  sure  to  attend 
their   meet.      In   Oct.   1629   he  join,   with  Gov.    Cradock,   Dept.-Gov. 
Goffe,  Winthrop,  Saltonstall,  treasr.  Harwood,  Johnson,  Pynchon,  and 
Vassall,  in  writ,  from   London   to   Higginson  and   Skelton,   as  to  the 
"  divers  scandalous  and  intemp.  speeches  passed  from  one  or  both  of  you 
in  your  publ.  strmons  or  pray."  as  report,  by  the  two  members  John  and 
Samuel  Browne,  wh.  had  accomp.  those  inin.     Of  course  he  was  not  a 
fellow-passeng.  but  was  (under  direction  of  the  Gov.  and  comp.  in  Eng. 
to  Endicott)  to  have  a  mill  privilege  in  the  Col.  and  all  this  "appears  from, 
the  rec.  I.  39,  401,  and  408,  in  connex.  with  128,  showing  that  our  Gen. 
Ct.  in  Boston,  Sept.   1634,  wrote  to  him,  George  Harwood,  and  other 
great  friends  in  London,  to  intreat  them  to  choose  one  of  themselves 
treasr.  for  this  planta.  in  lieu  of  Harwood.     Tho.  the  Edit,  of  Transact, 
of  Amer.  Antiq.  Soc.  III.  suppos.  that  he  d.  bef.  sett,  up  his  sawmill 


444  WEBB. 

here,  to  me  it  seems  equal,  prob.  that  he  was  engag.  in  business  of  too 
much  import,  at  London  to  come  over,  and  intend,  to  carry  forwards  the 
mill  business  by  a  serv.  or  factor.  GEORGE,  Dover  1642,  tax.  1G48,  d. 
1650.  HENRY,  Boston,  merch.  came  from  Salisbury,  Co.  Wilts,  with  w. 
Dosabell,  perhaps  in  1637,  when  Felt  marks  a  gr.  of  Id.  to  him,  but 
more  prob.  in  1638,  adm.  of  our  ch.  6  Feb.  1639,  as  was  she  on  Sunday 
foil,  made  freem.  13  Mar.  next,  constable  1641,  brot.  only  ch.  Margaret, 
wh.  had  been  bapt.  at  S.  25  Sept.  1625.  Prob.  she  was  b.  by  a  first  w. 
for  in  the  parish  rec.  of  St.  Edmunds  at  S.  may  be  seen,  that  Henry  W. 
m.  23  Apr.  1627,  Jane  Woolford,  and  so  we  may  assume  that  Dosabell 
was  third  w.  This  w.  d.  28  Feb.  1660,  and  he  d.  7  Sept.  foil,  and  prob. 
his  d.  was  sudden,  as  Eliz.  the  d.  of  his  only  ch.  was  in.  on  the  same 
day  to  Robert  Gibbs.  Margaret  had  by  spec,  license  of  the  Gen.  Ct. 
permiss.  Sept.  1642,  to  m.  first  Jacob  Sheaffe,  and  sev.  yrs.  aft.  his  d. 
she  m.  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher.  His  will  of  5  Apr.  1660  is  very  full, 
and  may  be  read  in  Geneal.  Reg.  X.  177-80.  It  was  pro.  13  Sept.  foil, 
and  perhaps  his  est.  was  the  largest  that  had  so  early  come  into  Ct.  Inv. 
was  £7,819.  5s.  2d.  Six  clerg.  were  favor,  with  small  legacies,  and 
John  and  Samuel  Sanford,  s.  of  his  sis.  Eliz.  had  £80.  ea.  but  perhaps 
they  were  in  Eng.  as  was  a  sis.  of  his  w.  also  a  legatee.  Webb  was 
largely  engag.  in  the  Lynn  iron  works  and  a  great  benefactor  to 
Harv.  Coll.  beside  legacy  of  £50.  gave  that  fine  prop.  betw.  Washing 
ton  and  Devonshire  streets  in  B.  where  the  great  publishers,  Little, 
Brown  &  Co.  have  long  exhibit,  their  treasures.  JEREMIAH,  Northamp

had  Joanna,  b.  16  Mar.  1694,  d.  in  two  wks.  and  in  Geneal.  Reg.  III. 
400,  her  name  was  mistaken  for  Jonathan ;  Priscilla,  Aug.  1 695 ;

*  ||  JOHN,  Boston,  adm.  of  the  ch.  9  Feb.  1634,  then  call,  single  man,  and 
of  wh.  I  hear  no  more,  unless  he  went  home  that  yr.  and  came  again 
with  Stephen  in  the  James  from  Southampton,  emb.  in*  Apr.  1635,  and 
arr.  3  June.  Both  are  call,  laborers  or  husbandmen,  said  to  be  of  Marl- 
borough  in  Wilts,  but  favored  also  with  an  alias  Evered,  and  it  may  be 
that  both  points  of  the  description  were  to  delude  the  tyrannic,  formality. 
He  was  adm.  freem.  7  Dec.  1636,  ar.  co.  1643,  one  of  the  early  sett,  of 
Chelmsford,  there  was  ens.  and  rep.  1663,  4,  and  5,  but  in  the  last  yr. 
was  expell.  fin.  and  for  a  season  disfranch.  but  soon  restor.  had  gr.  of  Id. 
at  Dracut  1667,  d.  16  Oct.  1668,  by  the  strange  occur,  of  being  drown,

Marlborough  in  Wilts ;  but  no  more  is  kn.  of  him  on  our  side  of  the

deed  of  ho.  and  Id.  Mar.  1661,  from  Nathaniel  Fryer,  and  perhaps  went 
home  for  short  time,  coming  back  in  1671.  WILLIAM,  Boston,  had  been 
one  of  Roxbury  ch.  bef.  adm.  freem.  25  May  1636,  and  in  the  list  of

Of  course  she  was  restor.  on  express,  of  penitence,  renfc  not  long  aft.

No  dates  of  b.  of  any  of  the  seven  are  giv.  by  the  most  valua.  work  of

WEDGEWOOD,  JOHN,  Hampton  1639,  had,  in  1637,  when  he  belong

Rec.  III.  171,  was,  I  judge,  only  casual  visitor,  perhaps  from  the  West 
Ind.  and  the  expense  of  his  board  was  to  be  reimburs.  by  his  host  being 
made  admin.  He  may  have  come  only  from  New  York,  under  the 
Dutch,  and  had  very  small  stock. 

WEED,  DANIEL,  Stamford,  s.  of  Jonas,  had  been  of  Rye  20  yrs.  bef.

GEORGE,  Salisbury,  s.  of  John  of  the  same,  took  o.  of  alleg.  20  Dec. 
1677,  at  the  same  time  with  his  f.  and  brs.  Samuel  and  John.  JOHN, 
Salisbury,  m.  14  Nov.  1650,  Deborah,  d.  of  Samuel  Wensley,  or  Winsly,

had  been  dism.  from  the  ch.  of  Watertown  to  that  of  Wethersfielcl,  but 
the  date  in  Bond,  p.  963,  29  May  1635,  is  by  me  confidently  read  29 
Mar.  1636.  Of  course  he  came  in  the  fleet  of  1630,  and  by  Bond's 
reasonab.  conject.  in  the  ship  with  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall.  I  find  a 
Jonas,  perhaps  his  s.  at  Stamford  1669,  then  seek,  to  be  made  freem.  of 
Conn,  but  he  is  accomp.  in  the  same  good  purpose  by  JOHN  wh.  may  be 
gr.s.  of  the  first  Jonas.  Mr.  Judd  enlarges  our  acquaint,  with  him  by 
tell,  that  he  was  of  Stamford  1642,  until  he  d.  1676,  his  inv.  being  of  5

better.  GEORGE,  Dorchester,  freem.  13  May  1640,  brot.  w.  said  to  be 
Jane,  sis.  of  Roger  Clap,  and  s.  Ammiel,  William,  and  Joseph,  tho.  the

rec.  in  wh.  date  Geneal.  Reg.  V.  467  follows  him ;  but  the  inv.  in 
Geneal.  Reg.  VII.  334,  unless  the  figures  be  wrong,  proves  that  he  d. 
28  Dec.  1650,  for  it  was  taken  22  Jan.  foil,  and  perhaps  the  d.  of  Oct. 
1659  may  have  been  of  inf.  s.  of  Ammiel  the  first.  Plainly  the  numerals

true  date.  JOHN,  Dorchester,  perhaps  s.  of  William  of  the  same,  m.  4

made,  to  read  the  names  of  this  man  and  his  f.  as  Wilkes.  JOSEPH,

for  the  Coll.  Catal.  prints  him  in  Roman  let.  and  adds  that  he  d.  1689. 
This  last  fact  could  not  have  been  within  the  kn.  of  F.  as  the  custom  of 
noting  the  yr.  of  d.  has  been  wisely  introd.  since  his  time,  but  he  would 
have  been  more  precise  in  his  latitude  of  dying  bef.  1699,  had  he  turned 
to  the  Hecatompolis,  while  consult.  Mather,  he  would  have  seen,  that  in

Milford  1639,  one  of  the  found,  of  the  ch.  that  yr.  as  Dr.  Trumbull 
says;  was  freem.  1665,  and  rep.  the  same  yr.  He  had  m.  Hannah,  d.

1658;  and  d.  31  Dec.  1680.  Ano.  THOMAS,  of  Charlestown,  as  his 
gr.-st.  tells,  d.  10  Apr.  1701,  aged  79,  and  by  the  same  testimo.  we  may 
believe  ano.  Thomas  there,  d.  15  June  1703,  a.  50  yrs.  To  discrimin. 
the  spell,  of  these  fam.  names  by  c,  and  s  has  been  impossib.  and 
Farmer  did  not  attempt  it,  tho.  he  div.  the  tribes  as  arbitrarily  as  was 
necessary.  He  marks  the  gr.  in  1834,  under  Welch  as  7  at  Yale,  3  at 
Harv.  but  under  Welsh  gives  Yale  none ;  and  I  find  at  Harv.  three 
more  with  the  s.

WELD,  or  WELDE,  DANIEL,  Braintree  1640,  freem.  2  June  1641,  by 
w.  Alice,  wh.  d.  18  Apr.  1647,  had  Dorcas,  b.  6  Apr.  1643,  d.  in  few 
wks.  By  ano.  w.  Ann,  wid.  I  think,  of  George  Hyde  of  Boston,  he  had 
at  Roxbury,  whither  he  rem.  with  recommend,  of  Braintree  ch.  1651, 
Benjamin  and  Mehitable,  tw.  b.  1655,  bapt.  16  Mar.  1656,  both  of  wh. 
d.  next  yr. ;  Daniel,  b.  14,  bapt.  17  Oct.  1658  ;  beside  ano.  Mehitable, 
whose  b.  or  bapt.  we  find  not  (yet  she  may  be  d.  of  ano.  Daniel)  ;  but 
the  town  rec.  ment.  d.  12  Jan.  1680.  He  was  town  elk.  1654,  and  much 
interest,  in  sch.  for  wh.  the  Gen.  Ct.  in  1659  reward,  him  with  200 
acres,  a  gr.  equal  to  that  of  Corlet  at  the  same  time,  Col.  Rec.  IV.  pt. 
I.  397 ;  and  d.  22  July  1666,  aged  81,  says  the  town  rec.  His  will  of  1 
July  preced.  was  pro.  3  Nov.  foil.  In  it  he  gives  all  his  prop,  to  his  w. 
Ann,  dur.  wid.  ment.  s.  Daniel  as  hav-had  his  full  portion  of  est.  and 
more  than  remain,  yet  liv.  in  Eng.  and  whether  liv.  or  d.  unkn.  to  the 
testator,  yet  he  leaves  him  205.  and  aft.  provid.  for  w's.  third,  if  she  m.  gives 
all  resid.  to  her  s.  Timothy  Hyde,  equally  with  his  own  ch.  Joseph  and 
Bethia.  He  makes  his  cousins  Edward  Denison,  Thomas  Weld,  and 
John  W.  overseers  of  the  will.  Now  great  uncertainty  arises  hereon, 
whether  the  yrs.  of  his  age  in  the  town  rec.  be  not  far  too  high,  if  he  be 
f.  of  those  tw.  in  1655,  and  also  whether  the  Daniel  b.  Oct.  1658,  were 
s.  or  gr.s.  DANIEL,  Roxbury,  s.  of  Joseph  first  of  the  same,  was  sch.- 
master  aft.  leav.  coll.  perhaps  at  Cambridge,  but  soon  rem.  to  Salem, 
there  was  a  physician,  had  early  m.  Bethia,  sec.  d.  of  Edward  Mitchel- 
son,  serv.  in  Philip's  war,  at  least  in  the  Narraganset  campaign,  1675,  as 
chief  surg.  and  d.  May  1690.  At  Salem  were  b.  to  him,  as  Felt  says, 
Barbara  and  Eliz.  besides  at  Cambridge  had  Daniel,  b.  20  Aug.  1663 ; 
Edward,  7  June  1666,  wh.  was  also  a  physician,  but  d.  3  Oct.  1702,  at 
36  yrs.;  and  Bethia,  24  Jan.  1668.  His  wid.  d.  24  Oct.  1719,  in  her 
70th  yr.  Perhaps  the  same  man  at  Roxbury,  of  whose  derivat.  aft. 
great  search,  I  am  unable  to  conject.  otherwise,  had  Mary,  b.  19  Feb. 
1676,  and  may  have  been  f.  of  that  Mehitable,  wh.  d.  12  Jan.  1680.

Ireland  soon  aft.  gr.  at  H.  C.  1650,  was  min.  at  Inneskean,  d.  2  Mar.

1631,  H.  C.  1650;  according  to  certif.  from  the  present  vicar  of  the 
parish  to  my  young  friend  Weld,  that  the  rec.  is  made  and  sign,  by  the 
f.  and  obs.  his  handwrit.  was  so  obscure,  that  ther  day  and  mo.  of  the 
bapt.  of  sec.  s.  could  not  be  made  out.  Perhaps  the  third  s.  did  not  live 
long,  at  least  we  hear  nothing  of  any  other  ch.  than  the  three  brot.  by 
him,  with  their  mo.  in  the  William  and  Francis,  leav.  London  9  Mar. 
and  arr.  at  Boston  5  June  1632,  he  hav.  enjoy,  the  benefit  of  being 
excommun.  the  yr.  bef.  by  the  driveling  malevolence  of  archbp.  Land, 
then  only  bp.  of  London.  Next  mo.  he  was  sett,  at  Roxbury,  and  6 
Nov.  foil,  made  freem.  but  whether  he  had  more  ch.  or  when  his  w. 
Margaret  d.  and  a  sec.  w.  Judith  was  tak.  as  the  Roxbury  ch.  rec.  proves, 
and  other  details,  are  not  found. 

He  was  earnest  in  the  synod  of  30  Aug.  1637  against  the  antinom. 
doctrines  of  Mr.  Wheelwright,  in  stat.  the  eighty-two  errors,  and  their 
confutat.  with  some  unsound  axioms  as  decid.  by  that  grave  Assemb.  with 
wh.  the  first  twenty  pages  of  the  work,  call,  a  Short  Story  of  the  Rise, 
Reign,  and  Ruin  of  the  Antinominian's  Familists,  &c.  publish,  by  him 
in  London,  1644,  are  fill,  and  the  authorship  of  that  part  would  do  no 
discredit  to  him  or  any  other  divine  of  the  land.  Of  the  next  twenty- 
three  pages,  the  proceedings  of  the  Gen.  Ct.  2  Oct.  (should  be  Nov.) 
1637,  another  hand  may  have  been  the  reporter;  but  no  more  blame 
attaches  to  any  other  portion,  than  to  the  copy  of  the  petition,  writ, 
as  Winth.  tells,  by  William  Aspinwall,  in  favor  of  Wheelwright,  with 
wh.  these  proceedings  are  appropriat.  introd.  Whatever  hand  report, 
these  proceed,  it  could  not  well  have  been  Gov.  Winth.  at  least  in 
the  full  transcr.  for  on  p.  27  it  is  alleg.  that  Wheelwright  was  requir.  if 
he  did  not  in  14  days  depart  from  our  jurisdict.  "to  render  hims.  at  the 
ho.  of  Mr.  Stanton,  one  of  the  magistr.  there  to  abide  as  a  prisoner,  till 
the  Ct.  should  dispose  of  him."  Now  this  could  not  have  fallen  from 
the  Gov.  whose  narrative  in  sev.  items,  p.  246  of  Vol.  I.  varies  from 
this  report,  and  does  not  name  the  magistr.  but  uses  the  phrase,  "  one  of 
the  magistr."  wh.  were  then  only  seven,  beside  hims.  and  the  Dept. 
But  Col.  Rec.  I.  207  has  the  name  of  Stoughton ;  and  no  Stanton  was 
ever  one  of  the  magistr. 

Next  comes,  strange  interject,  betw.  that  report  of  the  judicial  proceed 
ing  of  the  Nov.  1637  Court  and  the  Apology  for  the  proceedings  of  the 
Gen.  Ct.  9  Mar.  preced.  i.  e.  Mar.  1636-7,  the  nauseous  detail  of  the 
monstrous  birth  17  Oct.  1637,  by  Mrs.  Dyer,  one  of  Wheelwright's  ad 
herents,  as  the  same  was  popular,  circulat.  in  Boston,  and  in  almost  the 
same  language  as  Winth.  I.  261-3,  has  giv.  it.  A  briefer  narrat.  of  her 
misery  in  that  untimely  birth,  was  print,  at.  London  1642,  with  other 
similar  cases  of  misfortune,  as  I  saw  in  the  British  Museum.  This  acco.

varies  only  as  one  relat.  of  so  disgust,  a  story  must  be  expect,  to  differ 
from  ano.  especial,  as  every  admir.  of  horrors  could  then  be  easi.  gratif. 
when  the  Gov.  had,  as  he  tells  us  in  his  hist,  by  advice  of  the  magistr. 
and  min.  caused  the  decaying  remains  to  be  disinterr.  Yet  what  thus 
bee.  fully  kn.  to  prob.  most  of  the  men,  women,  and  half  gr.  ch.  within 
four  miles  (and  Weld  liv.  only  two  miles  off),  is  by  the  Hist,  of  Boston 
held  for  proof,  that  Winth.  not  Welde,  was  the  author,  as  "two  men 
without  close  confer,  could  not  have  writ,  things  so  exactly  coinciding." 
See  Drake,  218.  Ano.  proof  of  the  same  nature  is  brot.  forward  by  a 
writer  with  the  signature  of  Hutchinson  in  the  recent,  issued  Historical 
Magazine  for  Nov.  1857,  fill,  almost  four  pages  at  the  begin,  of  the  No. 

After  the  apology  (wh.  covers  thirteen  pages)  for  the  early  proceedings 
at  the  Gen.  Ct.  against  Wheelwright's  Fast  sermon,  near  the  top  of  59th 
page,  begins  prob.  Weld's  "  additions  to  the  conclusion  of  the  book,"  writ 
ten  in  a  very  different  style  from  the  apology,  and  evident,  a  continua. 
from  near  the  bottom  of  p.  43,  and  now  reaching  to  the  end  of  the  little 
vol.  on  p.  66.  What  gives  the  chief  value  to  this  humble  4to.  however, 
is  the  Preface,  signed  T.  Welde,  in  small  Rom.  cap.  for  the  earlier  copies, 
in  small  Italic,  not  cap.  in  the  later.  It  fills  sixteen  pages  of  small  type, 
and  is  written  with  great  spirit.  Equal  in  pungency  to  the  style  of  this 
preface,  is  that  of  the  conclusions  in  the  last  seven  pages.  Such  pun 
gency,  using  a  mild  term  to  express  what  in  the  writing  of  any  but  a 
clergym.  seems^malignity,  is  not  seen  in  any  other  writer  on  that  subj. 
But  bef.  the  Preface  is  print,  a  remarkab.  address  "  To  the  Reader."  "  I 
meeting  with  this  Book,  newly  come  forth  of  the  press,  and  being  earn 
estly  pressed  by  divers  to  perfect  it,  by  laying  down  the  order  and  sense 
of  this  story  (wh.  in  the  Book  is  omit.)  tho.  for  mine  own  part,  I  was 
more  slow  unto  it ;  not  as  if  I  think  it  contains  any  thing  but  truth,  but 
because  the  names  of  some  parties  that  acted  in  our  troubles,  that  have, 
since  that  time  (I  hope)  repented,  and  so  God  having  pardon,  their  sins 
in  Heaven,  I  should  have  been  loth  to  have  reviv.  them  on  earth.  But 
considering  that  their  names  are  already  in  Print,  without  any  act  of 
mine,  and  that  the  necessity  of  the  times  call  for  it,  and  its  requisite  that 
God's  great  works  should  be  made  known,  I  therefore,  in  a  straight  of 
time,  not  having  had  man}r  hours,  have  drawn  up  this  following  Preface, 
and  prefixed  hereunto  with  some  additions  to  the  conclusion  of  the  Book. 
I  commend  thyself  and  this  to  the  blessing  of  God.  T.  W." 

If  to  disting.  the  tone  and  temper  of  the  Apology,  that  may  natural, 
be  presum.  the  composition  of  Gov.  Winth.  [see  his  Plist.  I.  221] 
from  other  parts  of  the  tract,  except  the  documenta.  pieces  proper  [Ib. 
248]  resort  be  had  to  critic,  comparis.  of  style,  slight  difficult,  will 
attend  the  separat.  of  what  is  betw.  the  two  covers  of  the  binding. 


WELD.  461 

Against  the  errors  of  Wheelwright,  and  the  fantastic  revelations  of  Mrs. 
Hutchinson,  Welde  could  not  more  sincerely  show  his  zeal,  than  Winth. 
but  his  zeal  is  denunciatory,  fierce,  and  virulent,  while  that  of  the  Gov. 
seems  cautious,  calm,  and  moderate  in  terms,  decisive  in  spirit.  Even 
in  type  of  the  same  forms,  it  may  be  followed,  like  that  fabled  river, 
in  its  nameless  course  under  the  sea,  as  told  by  Virgil,  En.  III.  686, 
bearing  the  true,  unmixed  proof  of  its  fountain : 

nunc 
Ore,  Arethusa,  tuo  Siculis  confunditur  undis. 

Some  slight  regard  to  a  charge,  publish.  26  May  1853,  in  the  Hist,  of 
Boston  by  Mr.  Drake,  against  my  argum.  as  to  the  authorship  of  the 
"  Eise,  Reign,  and  Ruin,"  on  p.  249  of  Vol.  I.  of  Winth.  Hist,  of  N. 
E.  may  decent,  now  be  shown.  That  my  remarks  therein  involve  an 
accusat.  of  Welde  "as  absurd  as  it  is  unjust,"  may  pass  without  com 
ment  ;  but  as  the  Histor.  of  Boston  proceeds  to  observe  on  my  criticism 
that  "  it  is  criminal  so  to  do,"  I  appeal  from  his  decision  to  the  compe 
tent  tribunal  of  gentlemen  and  scholars  in  this  and  all  succeed,  ages. 

Weld  had  gone  home,  in  comp.  with  Hugh  Peter  and  Mr.  Hibbins  in 
Aug.  1641,  they  being  jointly  charg.  with  a  commiss.  from  the  governm. 
to  represent  our  means  and  wants,  in  wh.  they  met  extraord.  good  suc 
cess,  procuring  benefact.  to  extent  of  £500.  bef.  Hibbins's  ret.  in  Aug. 
foil.  I  have  seen  among  MSS.  in  the  Col.  Libr.  copious  acco.  of  Dr. 
and  Cr.  of  Weld,  wh.  seems  to  have  suffer,  no  little  suspicion,  and  rec. 
some  unkind  treatm.  from  our  Gen.  Ct.  wh.  hardly  ever  fail,  to  be  dis- 
satisf.  with  their  agents  in  Eng.  and  wh.  in  Oct.  1645,  adopt,  a  vote, 
that  Mr.  Peters  and  Mr.  Weld  "  having  been  long  absent,  may  under 
stand  the  Ct.'s  mind,  that  they  desire  their  presence  here,  and  speedy 
return."  On  this  ungracious  invit.  neither  came,  but  ea.  gain,  distinct,  in 
the  mother  land.  Weld  obt.  a  living  at  St.  Mary  Gateshead,  Co.  Dur 
ham,  and_d.  says  the  rec.  of  Roxbury  ch.  (not  likely  in  such  a  case  to  be 
wrong),  23  Mar.  1661;  I  think  it  is  said,  at  London.  This  was  soon 
aft.  the  Restorat.  of  the  k.  and  bef.  the  great  ejectm. 

Perhaps  I  may  be  excus.  for  a  long  explanat.  as  to  what  is  said  in  my 
sec.  ed.  of  Winthrop  in  a  note  on  I.  248,  publish.  1853.  Having  never 
bef.  1842,  heard  any  doubts  of  the  agency  of  Weld  in  the  publicat.  of 
that  interest,  little  volume  of  wh.  everybody  knew  he  acknowledg.  the 
preface  and  conclusion,  and  my  suspicion  being  excited,  at  the  British 
Museum,  by  the  unexpl.  address  to  the  Reader,  that  suspicion  in  1843, 
was  express,  by  me  in  a  single  line  of  my  Gleanings  in  3  Mass.  Hist. 
Coll.  VIII.  285.  Attention  was  thus  drawn  to  the  matter,  and  it  was 
supposed  by  some  that  in  Baylie's  "  Dissuasive  from  the  Errours  of  the 
Time,"  London  1645,  and  Cotton's  "Way  of  Congrega.  Chhs.  cleared,"

London  1648,  wh.  had  a  reply  to  some  of  Baylie's  aspersions,  it  might 
appear,  that  Gov.  "Winth.  was  as  much  engag.  as  Weld  in  the  publicat. 
of  Short  Story  of  the  Rise,  Reign,  and  Ruin.     A  friend  lent  me  these 
two  works,  and  they  did  not  produce  on  me  the  impress,  some  persons 
receiv.  perhaps  without  close  examinat.    For  instance,  in  Ecclesiast.  Hist, 
of  N.  E.  I.  329,  Mr.  Felt  observes  on  my  suppos.  that  Welde  compos. 
and  arrang.  the  greater  part  of  the  work  so  publish,  and  that  Gov.  W. 
was  auth.  of  the  rest,  entit.  a  Brief  Apology,  &c.  and  adds,  "  But  it  is 
clear  from  Baylies  and  Cotton,  that  Winth.  did  write  "  The  Book  "  a? 
stated  by  Weld  "  to  the   Reader."     Now  each  of  the  three  parts  of  this 
affirmat.  is  wrong.     Weld  hims.  does  not  state  "  that  Winth.  did  write 
the  Book,"  wh.  is  too  bold  and  direct  assert,  for  the  crafty  writer  of  that 
addr.  wh.  does  nothing  more  than  suggest  that  somebody  beside  T.  W. 
was  the  writer  or  editor.     Baylies,  p.  57,  in  strong  desire  to   censure 
Cotton  for  his  familism  and  antinom.  relies  upon  "  the  witness  of  Master 
Winth.  the  wisest  of  all  the  N.  E.  Governors  hitherto,  and  of  Master 
Wells,  a  gracious  minister  of  that  land  in  their  printed  Relations  of  the 
Schisms    there  ; "    and  he   proceeds   to  cite  passages  equally  from  the 
Preface  or  conclusion,  as  well  as  from  the  Proceedings  or  the  Apology, 
a  dozen  or  twenty  from  each,  but  a  diligent,  not  a  superficial  scrutiny 
through  his  quotations  will  give  a  great  preponderance  to  those  ack- 
nowledg.  to  be  Weld's.     On  p.  64  also,  Mr.  Felt  refers  to  Winth.'s 
Narration,  but  in  the  very  last  line  preced.  refers  to  this  work  as  the 
testimony  also  of  Weld.     In  defence   of  hims.   Cotton  follows   Baylie 
very  closely,  quoting  the  exact  phrases  of  his  antagon.  and  so,  p.  56, 
refers  to  "  the  witness  of  Winth.  and  Wells,"  not  even  correct,  the  spell, 
of  his  name.     On  p.  57  citing  from  B.  the  "  testimony  from  the  Court, 
wh.  (it  is  likely)  was  deliv.  by  Mr.  Winth.  being  then   Gov.  [as  in] 
p.  35  of  the  Short  Story,"  &c.  so  that  the  weight  of  his  evidence  is,  to 
.the  least  scruple  or  even  grain,  of  the  same  weight,  and  no  more,  with 
Baylie's,  to  prove  in  Mr.   Felt's   words   "  that  Winth.  did  write  the 
Book."      Prob.    Mr.    Felt   had   not,    when    he    compos,   that   passage, 
examin.  those  authors,  or,  at  least,  his  survey  was  cursory,  for  in  Ib. 
534,  speaking  of  the  publicat.  of  this  pamphlet  in  1644,  he  uses  similar 
words :  "  Its  preface  was  by  Mr.  Weld,  and  the  rest  of  it  by  Gov.  W." 
overlook,  the  acknowledgm.  of  Weld,  that   the    conclusion,  wh.    even 
slight  observ.  must  make  seven  pages,  was, by  him.     Writing  of  the  end 
of  Weld's  life,  Mr.  Felt  uses  more  precision,  p.  436.     "  He  was  engag. 
with  Gov.  W.  sen.  in  prepar.  the  Rise,  Reign,  and  Ruin,"  &c.  in  N.  E. 
Yet  what  Gov.  W.  contrib.  was  in  Mar.  1636-7,  the  Apology  and  per 
haps  part  of  the  Proceedings  in  Nov.  1637,  publ.  in  Boston  as  much  as

his  own  confess,  overrul.  the  London  press  in  1644,  so  that  my  expres 
sion,  as  he  fairly  gives  it  on  his  p.  329,  may  stand  unreprov.  Beside, 
Mr.  Felt  candidly,  p.  554,  takes  notice,  that  Wheelwright,  s.  of  Rev. 
John  "  endeavors  to  show  from  the  concessions  of  Weld,  that  his  f.  did 
not  adopt  the  main  principles  of  his  sis.-in-law,  Mrs.  H."  and  he  still 
more  fairly  quotes  a  let.  of  1647,  from  Hooker  of  Hartford  to  Shepard 
of  Cambridge,  both  of  wh.  most  have  kn.  what  the  truth,  and  the  whole 
truth  was  a.  the  publicat.  "  I  cannot  be  persuad.  but  these  men  "  [the 
Scotch  Presbyterians,  Rutherford  and  Baylie]  HAD  A  SECRET  HAND  TO 
PROVOKE  MR.  WELD  TO  SET  FORTH  HIS  SHORT  STORY,"  &c. 

Certain.  Weld's  desire  was  not  to  be  thot.  author  of  the  "  Short  Story," 
&c.  and  he  would  gladly  have  the  reader  presume  that  Gov.  Winth. 
whose  name  belongs  to  part  of  the  official  documenta.  matter  therein 
print,  had  issued  the  vol.  tho.  any  careful  student  could  detect  the  most 
of  the   pages   due   to  ano.  hand.     The   assist,  librar.  at   Harv.  Univ. 
drew  my  attention  to  the  vol.  of  Rutherford,  professor  at  St.  Andrews, 
call.  Survey  of  Spiritual  Antichrist,  London   1648,  p.  171,  where   he 
says  of  our  N.  E.  heretics,  "  They  held  these  wicked  tenets  especially, 
that  follow,  as  may  be  gathered  out  of  the  story  of  the  Rise,  Reign,  and 
Ruin  of  the  Antinomians  and  Libertines  that  infected  the  Chhs.  of  N. 
E.  penned  (as  /  am  informed)  by  M.  Winthrope,  Gov.  a  faithful  wit 
ness,  and  approv.  by  M.  T.  Weld  in  his  preface  to  the  book."     This  is 
in  c.  XV.  yet  in  the  next  c.  p.  180,  he  twice  names  Weld  as  author  of 
that  work,  as  in  the  first  sentence  of  the  same  c.  p.  176,  of  Mrs.  Hutch- 
inson,  one  of  the  authors  of  the  "  wicked  opinions,"  he    borrows  the 
happy  designat.  of  our  Roxbury  historian,  saying  "  This  woman  is  call, 
the  American  Jezabel."    How  R.  was  informed  that  Gov.  W.  penned  the 
work,  may  easily  be  conceiv.  for  in  his  sev.  journeys  from  St.  Andrews 
to  London,  and  back,  his  road  lay  straight  thro.   Gateshead,  opposite 
-  Newcastle,  wh.  was  Weld's  resid.     So  high  was  his  estimat.  of  the  vol. 
that  in  the  sec.  pt.  of  R.'s  work,  it  is  cit.  hardly  less  than  three  hundred 
times,  always  by  the  tit.  of  Rise,  Reign,  and  Ruin.     It  must  be  kept, 
constant,  in  mind,  that  Rutherford  and  Bailie  were  of  the  four  great 
Scotch  magicians  employ,  as  mem.  of  the  famous  Westminster  Assem 
bly,  that  sat  above  five  and  a  half  yrs.  to  regulate  the  true  faith  for  all 
future  time.     Great  opportunities  for  acquir.  knowl.  as  to  every  thing, 
espec.  of  a  relig.  value,  that  had  occur,  in  N.  E.  were,  of  course,  enjoy, 
by  them. 

Being  sharp,  reprov.  in  the  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII.  84,  for  what  in  my 
sec.  ed.  of  Winth.'s  Hist,  of  N,  E.  was  utter,  about  the  attempt  of 
Weld  to  conceal  his  first  connex.  with  this  work,  I  may  be  permit,  in 
explanat.  if  not  justificat.  to  add  not  a  little.  By  the  change  of  words,

"  the  authorship  "  of  Short  Story  is  made  the  matter  of  controversy,  and 
that  man  of  straw  is  put  forward,  wh.  may  be  left  to  the  critic ;  for  my 
chief  inq.  was  confin.  to  the  publicat.  or  editorship ;  having  only  in  a 
single  instance  named  Weld  as  author  of  Rise,  Reign,  and  Ruin,  and 
then  in  note  on  Vol.  I.  258,  in  the  closest  relation  to  a  passage  from  the 
preface,  signed  by  hims.  and  the  very  last  words  of  the  conclusion  on  p. 
66.  So  that  the  differ,  betw.  the  critic  and  myself  is  very  slight,  as  to 
material  passages  by  me  ascrib.  to  Weld,  "  BEYOND  WHAT  HE  HAS  HIMS. 
ACKNOWLEDG."  In  the  further  opin.  of  the  same  writer  "that  what 
ever  Mr.  Weld  did,  he  did  under  the  direction  or  by  the  adv.  of  the 
dominant  party  here,"  all  may  readi.  agree.  A  little  outbreak  of  bit 
terness  in  the  Preface,  or  in  the  "  additions  to  the  conclusion  of  the 
Book,"  may  seem  very  natural  in  that  age ;  and  in  the  larger  report  of 
the  case  of  Mrs.  H.  in  Hutch.  Hist.  II.  482-520,  wh.  should  be  read  by 
every  one  that  desires  to  know  the  full  extent  of  the  tyranny,  we  easily 
discern,  how  eager  in  the  prosecut.  were  Dudley,  the  Dept.-Gov.  wh. 
was  of  Weld's  ch.  at  Roxbury,  Endicott,  Bartholomew,  and  Nowell,  of 
the  laity,  as,  of  the  clerg.  Symmes,  fellow-passeng.  with  her,  Shepard  and 
Hugh  Peter,  the  fellow-passeng.  of  W.  on  the  homeward  voyage.  No 
one  could  be  misled  by  my  words,  as  if  I  asserted  that  Weld,  more  than 
Peters  or  anybody  else,  wrote  the  petition  in  favor  of  Wheelwright,  or 
the  Apology,  or  the  Proceedings  of  the  Court  in  the  larger  part,  or  the 
popular  report  of  poor  Mrs.  Dyer's  affliction.  He  is  responsible,  as 
Editor,  for  all  but  the  strictly  official  docum.  Now  without  intend,  any 
invidious  allegat.  as  to  a  single  word  in  the  vol.  "  beyond  what  he  has 
hims.  acknowl."  I  renew  my  remark,  that  he  bears  the  responsib.  for  all 
exc.  from  p.  46  to  the  third  line  of  p.  59  inclus.  bee.  it  was  print,  under 
his  direct,  and  most  of  it  is  evident,  his  own  composit. 

The  friend,  wh.  the  critic  says  pointed  out  my  error,  was,  yrs.  ago, 
satisfied  that  I  had  good  grounds  for  my  opinion.  The  diligent  assist. 
librar.  of  Harv.  Coll.  in  his  MS.  on  the  reverse  of  the  title-page  of 
"  Antinomians  and  Familists  condemned,"  had  noted,  that  it  was  the 
same  work  with  Weld's  Short  Story,  and  infer,  that  it  was  an  earlier 
impression,  because  Short  Story  gain,  the  Note  to  the  Reader  and  the 
Preface ;  and  he  then  adds  (without  hesitat.)  from  that  address,  that  it 
appears,  Thomas  Welde  "  was  not  the  author  of  what  is  contained  in  the 
present  vol."  His  caution  was  not  excit.  by  the  admiss.  of  Weld  hims. 
as  to  the  "  additions  to  the  conclusion  of  the  book,"  and  he  believ.  what 
the  rev.  casuist  cunning  desir.  rather  than  what  he  said.  My  suggestion 
that  this  title-page  was  a  sneaking  device  to  give  support  to  the  false 
implicat.  in  the  Note  to  the  Reader,  is  by  the  Geneal.  Reg.  critic  sub- 
merg.  in  the  conject.  that  it  "  might  have  been,  and  no  doubt  was,  a 


WELD.  465 

printer's  error  "  ! !  Large  inq.  has  been  provok.  by  this  bold  assumption 
and  unusual  state  of  things.  The  first  result  is  from  collation  by  Mr. 
Livermore  of  the  copy  in  College  Libr.  of  "  Antinomians  arid  Familists," 
with  the  Athenaeum  copy  of  the  "  Short  Story,"  and  he  assures  me  that 
it  is  apparent  that  from  p.  1  to  66,  where  the  Athenaeum  copy  breaks 
off,  the  correspondence  is  perfect  in  every  letter,  typographical  error 
or  not,  as  1.  6  on  p.  46  spread  has  the  let.  r  pushed  out  of  its  place,  so 
that  the  lower  is  as  high  as  the  upper  part  of  the  letters  on  either  side ;  — 
as  p.  1  of  Short  Story,  begins  with  signat.  B.  in  the  copy  that  has  six 
teen  or  eighteen  pages  of  prefatory  matter,  so  begins  with  signat.  B.  the 
copy  devoid  of  those  pages ;  and  so  on  p.  9  in  each  of  these  books  is  sig 
nature  C  —  on  17  D  —  on  25  E,  &c.  with  the  trifling  except,  on  p.  62, 
1.  8,  the  parag.  ends  in  one  with  the  words  "  slighted  had  so  much,"  in 
the  other,  "  had  so  much  slighted,"  no  letter  being  changed.  An  expert 
in  printing,  or  even  an  apprentice,  would  judge  of  Antinomians  and 
Familists,  &c.  from  sig.  B  on  p.  1,  that  sig.  A  had  once  preced.  it,  tho. 
page  1  follows  next  aft.  title-page.  Mr.  Marvin,  an  accomplish,  printer, 
on  first  sight  observ.  that  the  Preface  had  been  suppressed,  and  that  the 
title-page  was  print,  from  the  same  form  as  Short  Story,  substituting 
other  words,  for  all  above  the  imprint.  Indeed,  to  suppose  it  possib.  that 
the  work,  without  the  preface,  was  issued  first,  is  very  like  the  expectat. 
of  seeing  the  second  story  of  an  edifice  sustain  itself  in  the  air  before 
the  first  is  built  for  its  support.  The  forms  are  identical,  the  ornaments 
unchanged,  as  on  the  title-pages  of  both  a  border  of  twenty-one  types  or 
beads  runs  by  the  sides,  nineteen  more  at  the  top,  and  eighteen  at  the 
bot. ;  and  *io  letters  were  distrib.  from  the  form  to  the  case  betw.  the 
strikings  off  for  one  and  the  other  through  the  whole.  Yet  so  widely 
differ  the  title-pages,  that  one  would  judge  instantly,  that  years  might 
interven.  betw.  them,  one  showing  only  forty-one  words,  the  other,  one 
hundred  and  fifty-six,  above  the  imprint ;  while  that  imprint  of  three 
lines  disproves  the  whole  cunning  of  the  change,  for  there  exactly  as  in 
the  body  of  the  two  books,  all  the  letters,  and  figures,  and  imperfections, 
and  punctuation,  and  errors,  were  immovable.  The  words  above  the 
imprint  in  one  are  removed  from  the  other,  and  new  ones  inserted, 
except  the  very  large  letters  of  the  single  word  NEW-ENGLAND 
running  wholly  across  the  wide  page,  some  of  wh.  the  keen  eye  of  my 
young  friend,  W.  H.  Whitmore,  detected  as  unmoved ;  and  a  less  prac 
tised  vision  would  instantly  perceive,  when  directed  to  it,  how  the  first  E 
in  that  word  differs  from  the  sec.  E,  and  confidently  assume  that  the 
enormity  of  the  first  E  might  prove  it  to  be  the  only  one  of  the  kind  in 
the  print,  office  of  Ralph  Smith.  The  last  letter  but  one  of  that  word 
in  a  copy  wh.  to  me  seems  clearly,  by  a  hundred  indicat.  to  have  been 


466  WELD. 

among  the  earliest  taken  off  from  the  standing  form,  is  a  well  looking, 
perfect  capital,  but  in  two  other  copies  appears  to  have  its  face  battered, 
as  if  it  had  been  in  irregular  company,  and  in  the  only  other  copy  ever 
seen  by  me,  the  body  appears  to  have  a  twist,  wh.  may  account  for  the 
bruise  on  its  face. 

Which  now,  of  these  two,  both  print,  early  in  1644,  was  prior?  Very 
short  time,  only  few  hours  prob.  elaps.  betw.  them ;  and  further  scrutiny 
of  the  note  to  the  Reader  may  be  useful  to  aid  the  decision  of  that  ques 
tion.  The  opening  words  are  "  meeting  with  this  Book,  newly  come 
forth  of  the  Press ; "  and  it  is  very  strange,  that  no  other  man  than 
Thomas  Weld  is  kn.  to  have  ever  seen  such  a  supposed  book,  bef.  or 
since.  Industry  was  most  active,  in  that  day  of  civil  war,  to  hunt  up 
every  thing  as  soon  as  print.  The  eager  friend  of  King  Charles  I.  in 
London,  whose  assiduous  attent.  to  such  serv.  furnishes  one  of  the  most 
curious  and  complete  assortment  of  treasures  in  the  British  Museum, 
contain,  near,  thirty  thousand  pieces  and  tracts,  bound  in  over  two 
thousand  vols.  in  the  order  of  success,  dates  betw.  1640  and  1660,  must 
be  inq.  of  whether  this  be  one  book  or  two.  Now  in  that  vast  collect, 
this  tract  stands  with  only  the  tit.  Short  Story,  &c.  obtain,  by  the  book 
collector  19  Feb.  1643,  and  no  such  work  as  "  Antinomians  and  Familists 
condemn."  &c.  is  nam.  Next,  in  reference  to  tbe  point  of  priority, 
should  be  weigh,  what  is  told  in  that  note  to  the  Reader,  as  to  the 
names  of  some  that  acted  in  our  troubles,  wh.  the  writer  says  "  are 
already  in  print,  without  any  act  of  mine."  But  we  are  left  uncertain, 
whether  that  print  without  his  act  means  (as  seems  fairly  to  follow)  in 
the  Book  newly  come  forth.  Unless  it  may  be  shown,  that  such  print, 
of  the  names  can  be  found  elsewhere  than  in  Short  Story,  bef.  the  issue 
of  Antinomians  and  Familists  condemn,  it  may  well  be  thought  this 
addr.  to  the  reader  is  only  a  subterfuge.  Such  evidence  it  may  be  hard 
to  find ;  yet  no  other  man  than  Weld  can  be  nam.  wh.  would  in  London 
be  so  deeply  engag.  in  such  cause.  But  what  motive  had  Weld  to  make 
such  a  statement?  To  this  question,  a  reasonable  reply  is,  that  he 
might  fear  prosecution  for  libels  by  one  or  another.  Friends  of  the 
parties  implicat.  must  have  been  numerous  eno.  in  London ;  for  tho. 
Gov.  Cradock,  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  Sir  Bryan  Jansen,  treas.  Har- 
wood,  Alderm.  Andrews,  Col.  Yen  and  others,  may  have  been  impartial, 
Sir  H.  Vane  would,  of  course,  sympathize  with  Cotton,  Wheelwright, 
and  the  majority  of  his  fellow-worship,  in  Boston  ch.  Mr.  Hutchinson 
also  had  a  br.  there,  wh.  had  liv.  here,  was  of  high  esteem  and  large 
property,  and  beside  others  of  the  Antinom.  party,  Coggeshall  was  a  man 
of  influence  in  Boston,  and  Aspinwall  a  ready  writer,  both  able  to  com 
mand  friends  in  the  great  city ;  while  Wheelwright,  s.  of  one  of  the 


WELD.  467 

princip.  suffer,  was  able  to  issue  the  very  next  yr.  in  "  Mr.  Weld's  his 
Antitype"  observat.  on   "a  paper  styled  a   Short   Story  of  the  Rise, 
Reign,"  &c.     Even   without   suppos.   any  unworthy  fear  in   him  that 
prompt,  what  he  wish,  to  have  consid.  as  a  sec.  ed.  of  a  Book  bef. 
issued  by  ano.  person,  and  that,  as  he  says,  "  the  necessity  of  the  times 
call  for  it,  and  its  requisite  that  God's  great  works   should  be  made 
known,"  he  might  deceive  himself  into  the  hope,  that  "  Antinomians  and 
Familists  condemn."  tho.  issued  by  the  same  publisher,  the  same  yr.  if 
publish,  without  preface,  would  be  taken  to  be  a  different  composure 
from  Short  Story,  with  a  preface  one  quarter  as  large  as  the  whole  work. 
Well  might  he  believe,  that  in  those  stirring  times  of  extreme  convul 
sion  and  civil  war,  nobody  would  have  the  leisure  and  take  the  trouble 
to  ascertain,  that  his  publicat.  was  indeed  two  faces  under  one  hood. 
Next  may  our  scrutiny  be  applied  to  his  excuse  of  "being  earnestly 
pressed  by  divers  to  perfect "  the  work,  "  by  laying  down  the  order  and 
sense  of  this  story."    Perhaps  any  other  man,  with  half  as  much  literary 
skill  as  T.  W.  would  have  giv.  a  very  differ.  ORDER  to  his  materials,  at 
least  so  far  as  chronology  is  concerned.     If  he  did  not  print  the  Apology 
for  the  Gen.  Ct.  of  Mar.  1636-7,  begin,  p.  46  before  the  result  of  the 
Synod  30  Aug.  —  22  Sept.  foil.  wh.  begins  on  p.  1,  he  would  naturally 
(unless  blinded  by  a  strong  sensibility)  have  giv.  it  place  prior  to  the 
proced.  of  not  merely  a  later  sess.  of  the  same,  but  of  ano.  Gen.  Ct.  in 
Nov.  1637,  wh.  begins  on  p.  21.     See  our  Col.  Rec.  I.  187  to  205. 
What  good  reason  for  breach  of  such  natural  sequence  of  time  can  be  con- 
jectur.  I  see  not,  nor  is  it  necessary  to  think  of  a  lad  one  ;  especial,  as  in 
putting  all  the  matter  bef.  p.  46,  Mr.  Weld,  the  Editor,  seems  to  have 
arrang.  with  high  regard  to  this  point,  making  a  blunder  of  Oct.  2  for 
Nov.  2  as  date  of  open,  the  session  of  the  Ct.  that  the  postponement  of 
Mrs.  Dyer's  unhappiness,  wh.  had  been  at  two  public  lectures  of  the  first 
ch.  largely  spoken  of  by  Mr.   Cotton    (as    Winth.  tells,  in  his  Hist.) 
when  prob.  Mr.   Weld  and  other  min.  from  the  neighb.   towns  (wh. 
usually  attend,  the  Thursday  lect.  were  present)   17  Oct.  might  seem  to 
be  in  a  fit  place.     A  reasonable  cause  for  this  breach  of  natural  order 
may  be  found  in  the  circumstances  that  led  Weld  (but  would  lead  no 
other  person)  to  think  more  of  Mrs.  Hutchinson  than  any  thing,  else  in 
the  long  agony  of  the  antinom.  controv.    In  Nov.  1637  she  was  commit, 
to  custody  of  Joseph  Weld,  own  br.  of  the  casuist,  in  the  town  of  Rox- 
bury,  her  banishm.  being  suspend,  until  the  spring.     While  thus  a  pris 
oner  for  more   than  four  mos.   all  access   of  husband,   childr.  friends 
denied,  exc.  with  leave  of  the  Ct.  as  in  Col.  Rec.  I.  207-25  is  seen,  she 
was  expos,  to  visitat.  of  any  holy  inquisitor ;  and  the  min.  of  R.  must 
have  used  his  sacred  office  with  equal  ardor  for  her  conversion,  and

vexation  at  his  ill  success.  This  will  explain  to  milder  natures,  the 
wondrous  malediction  with  wh.  he  closes  the  Short  Story.  Still  the 
suspicion  arises,  from  the  anxious  reference  to  "  laying  down  the  order 
and  sense  of  the  story,"  that  the  ill  arrangement  is  due  to  design  rather 
than  accident.  How  else  could  occur  the  interrupt,  on  p.  43,  where  the 
parag.  ends  with  the  words  "  issue  whereof  is  set  down  in  the  next," 
when  we  are  unable  to  find  the  next,  and  connect,  thread  for  more  than 
fifteen  pages  onward,  or  a  chasm  of  near  one  quarter  of  the  surface  of 
the  vol.  Would  not  any  ingenuous  mind,  on  sec.  reading,  become  sus 
picious  at  the  apparent  anxiety  express,  in  that  "  addr.  to  the  Reader  " 
(whether  spring,  from  fear  or  ill-will),  lest  the  writer  of  the  long  preface, 
might  be  tkot.  to  have  had  too  intimate  connex.  with  the  production  of 
the  ensuing  short  story  ?  Words  are  liable  to  misapprehens.  we  all 
know,  from  carelessness  or  ignor.  of  him  who  uses  them ;  but  especially 
when  equivocat.  is  resolv.  on ;  and  in  writing  much  more  than  in  oral 
speech,  we  wish  for  precision,  not  ambiguity.  Yet  an  author's  idea  may 
be  mistaken  when  he  intended  to  be  punctiliously  precise,  tho.  less  fre 
quent,  than  if  he  be  habitual,  careless.  His  words  convey  sometimes 
more,  at  others  less  than  he  intend.  Of  course  two  readers  may  obtain 
from  the  same  words  quite  dissimilar  impressions.  A  recent  example 
will  illustrate.  In  note  1,  on  p.  238  of  Winth.  I.  my  first  ed.  1825,  I  had 
printed  this  remark.  "  The  work  has  not,  I  presume,  been  often  quoted 
within  a  century."  Of  course  the  same  words  stand  in  the  next  ed. 
1853.  Citing  this  passage,  the  writer,  careless  or  over  cautious,  of  the 
review  in  Geneal.  Reg.  1854,  adds,  "  and  yet  we  know  that  it  has  been 
very  often  quoted  within  a  quarter  of  a  century"  On  cursory  perusal, 
this  may,  in  one  man's  opin.  seem  a  contradiction  ;  while  a  slower  reader 
would  perhaps  give  it  a  very  differ,  name.  If  the  two  readers  call  for 
solution  of  the  oracular  ambiguity  of  the  writer,  prob.  a  short  minute's 
explanat.  would  make  their  judgments  agree. 

Now  to  conclude  the  point  of  priority  of  issue  —  the  fictitious  title- 
page  "  Antinom.  and  Fam.  condemn.  "  assum.  in  Geneal.  Reg.  to  be 
"  no  doubt  a  printer's  error,"  as  if  by  fortuitous  concourse  of  atoms,  it 
fell  into  that  place,  I  had  presum.  to  be  unique,  having  only  heard  of  the 
single  copy  in  the  Coll.  Libr.  I  have  gain,  recent  knowl.  of  ano.  copy 
in  the  collection  of  Rev.  Dr.  Choules,  since  his  d.  together  with  his  copy 
of  Short  Story,  dispers.  by  auction.  Whatever  value,  more  or  less,  was 
then  due  to  my  infer,  from  the  Coll.  copy,  as  a  device  to  cover  Weld's 
connect,  with  the  Book,  is  of  course  doubled,  and  proportional,  weaken, 
is  the  assumpt.  that  it  was  "  no  doubt  printer's  error."  Evidence  posi 
tive,  is,  also,  obtain,  that  the  Choules  copy  of  Short  Story,  with  the  note 
to  Reader,  Preface,  and  P.  S.  and  ano.  own.  by  Col.  Aspinwall,  which- 


WELD.  469 

ever  of  the  two  were  first  struck  off,  came  both  from  the  press  BEF.  the 
delusive  publicat.  of  the  same  work  under  the  title  of  "  Antinomians," 
&c.  WITHOUT  the  malignant  preface.  The  testimony  is  indubita.  it 
appeals  to  the  eye ;  and  tho.  the  form  of  ea.  of  the  66  pages  in  all  the 
copies  is  unchanged,  slight  correct,  of  errors  in  the  earlier  ones  are 
traced  clearly  in  the  later.  For  instance,  the  sig.  of  p.  1  of  Short  Story, 
in  the  copies  of  Aspinwall  and  Choules,  is  C.  2 ;  —  of  p.  3  is  C.  3,  and 
so  onwar/1  to  p.  65  wh.  is  L.  2,  whereas  the  two  copies  of  Coll.  and 
Choules  of  the  same  work,  under  the  NEW  title  without  Preface,  begin, 
(as  does  the  Athenaeum  copy  with  the  Preface  and  old  title)  with  B.  for 
sig.  of  p.  1,  and  so  proced.  to  p.  65  wh.  is  K.  Will  any  sagacious  ob 
server  doubt  about  priority  ?  Each  of  the  copies,  of  so  great  rarity,  has 
worth  of  its  own ;  and  that  of  our  Athena3um,  tho.  wanting  the  four  last 
pages,  derives  high  value  from  the  notes  in  sev.  places,  writ,  by  Thomas 
Prince  above  one  hundred  and  twenty  yrs.  since,  especially  his  testimon. 
on  the  title-page,  "  Preface  and  conclusion  by  Thomas  Welde."  This  is 
the  well-kn.  handwrit.  of  the  Annalist.  My  presumpt.  is  that  this  iden 
tical  tract  was  once  his,  for  in  his  own  catal.  he  inserts,  in  its  proper 
place,  "T.  Welde's  Short  Story,  &c.  London  1644,"  and  it  is  not  now 
found  in  his  N.  E.  library. 

A  very  valua.  copy  of  the  unmutilat.  work,  own.  by  Charles  Deane, 
concurs  with  the  Coll.  copy  depriv.  of  its  Preface,  and  issued  under  the 
new  name,  in  every  word  and  letter,  monk  or  friar,  or  other  irregularity, 
like  the  imperfect  copy  of  the  AthenaBum,  exc.  as  bef.  explain,  in  the 
changed  place  of  a  single  word,  slighted,  on  p.  62,  that  requir.  no  edito 
rial  cunning,  but  must  have  been  done  by  a  compositor.  Will  any  one 
doubt  that  Mr.  Deane's  copy  (after  the  Preface,  wh.  is  not  seen  in  the 
Coll.  copy)  was  struck  off  from  the  same  forms  as  that,  when  he  com 
pares  not  pages  merely,  but  words,  and  even  letters  in  each,  as  on  p.  12, 
the  remarkab.  first  letter  of  Error  65,  unlike  any  other  in  the  long  enu 
meration,  or  p.  4,  the  strange  initial  of  Confutation  19,  or  asks,  without 
expecting  answer,  why  the  letter  C.  should  have  different  shapes, 
proudly  beginning  Confutat.  1,  2,  3,  6,  7,  13,  15,  18,  20  to  40  inclus. 
42-56  inclus.  61-65  inclus.  68-75  inclus.  81  and  82,  in  ITALIC  TYPE  in 
each  of  the  books,  while  it  subsides  into  the  modest  Roman  in  4,  5,  8,  9, 
and  all  the  others  ?  Similar  exact  conformity  as  to  the  spelling  of  the 
word,  according  to  the  then  established  usage,  Errour,  is  found  in  both, 
and  similar,  also,  is  the  use  or  non-use  of  the  double  e  in  be,  he,  me,  she. 
For  instance  "  Antinomians  and  Familists  "  of  the  Coll.  Libr.  has  the 
important  word,  for  the  first  twenty  times  that  it  heads  a  parag.  p. 
1-4  spelled  without  u  ;  but  the  next  nineteen  times  the  u  creeps  in ;  the 

VOL.  iv.  40 


470  WELD. 

ensuing  twenty-seven  times  it  is  ejected ;  fourteen  times  next  follow,  is 
bless,  with  u  ;  and  lastly  No.  81  is  written  with  five  letters,  and  No.  82 
with  six ;  while  in  every  one  of  them  Mr.  Deane's  copy  of  Short  Story 
agrees.  More  striking  is  this  conformity,  because  apparently  earlier 
copies  vary  much  in  such  petty  particulars.  The  solitary,  abnormal  E. 
in  Mr.  Dean's  copy,  Error  65,  changes  places  with  Col.  Aspinwall's  E. 
in  Error  72,  and  so  no  complaint  of  partiality  can  arise. 

Still,  it  may  be  said,  the  identity  of  Deane's  "  Short  Story "  with 
Coll.  "Antinomians  and  Familists"  being  established,  nothing  is  yet 
clearly  shown  to  prove,  wh.  first  came  from  the  press,  but  only  that, 
whichever  was  first,  the  other  follow,  very  soon,  perhaps  in  few  hrs.  or 
even  minutes.  Now  by  comparing  with  Deane's  copy  (that  has  the 
preface)  that  of  Aspinwall  (wh.  is  equally  complete)  it  may  easily  be 
seen  that  A's.  is  several  hours,  or  even  days,  earlier  in  its  issue.  But 
bef.  taking  up  the  preface,  where  the  diversity  is  greater,  let  the  curious 
student  look  at  two  or  three  small  points  in  the  body  of  the  work,  wh.  is 
identical  in  substance,  and  seeming,  in  letter  also,  with  the  Coll.  tract 
that  wants  the  preface.  On  p.  1  in  the  Confutat.  4  and  5,  the  citation 
from  the  prophet  Isaiah  viii.  20,  in  A's.  copy  writ.  JEsa,  in  D's.  and  Coll. 
copies  becomes  Esay  ;  p.  2,  under  Error  8,  Corinth,  in  A's.  copy,  is  prop 
erly  shortened  in  the  other  two  to  Cor.  —  p.  3,  line  5,  true  (in  the  brack 
ets)  is  changed  from  Italic,  as  it  is  in  A's.  copy,  into  Roman  letters  to 
conform  with  other  Roman  letters  in  the  same  passage  of  the  other 
copies;  p.  21,  in  the  blunder  of  date  of  the  term  of  Court  (wh.  could 
not  have  been  mistak.  by  Gov.  Winth.)  October  in  A's.  copy  is  abbrev. 
in  the  others  to  Octob.  Weld  in  London  wrote  the  wrong  mo.  P.  33  in 
two  places,  A's.  copy  has  Hutchinson,  but  in  seventeen  other  places  the 
name  is  Hutchison,  without  n  in  sec.  syl.  while  the  other  copies  give  the 
name  every  time  without  that  letter,  so  preserving  uniformity  betw.  spell 
and  sound ;  p.  35,  the  rule  "  I  permit  not  a  Woman  to  teach,"  in  A's. 
copy  is  print,  in  the  Italic;  in  the  other  two,  in  Roman  character,  con 
formably  to  the  rest  of  the  page,  and  the  cap.  W.  of  A.  is  reduced  in  these 
to  a  small  letter ;  and  other  examples  abundantly  serve  to  prove,  that 
A's.  was  the  earlier  impression,  correct,  by  the  compositor  in  later  ones. 
The  texture  of  the  paper  in  the  different  copies  seems  different,  Aspin 
wall's  being  manifest,  coarser.  The  top  of  Aspinwall's  p.  7  is  printed 
9,  and  10  is  used  for  8,  11  for  9,  and  so  on,  until,  by  giv.  15  and  16 
twice,  his  copy  agrees  with  others,  in  all  the  later  pages ;  but  the  other 
copies  throughout  have  a  military  accuracy  of  count.  A  correct,  copy 
may  certain,  well  seem  later  than  one  less  correct,  and  instances  enough 
may  be  seen  in  that  of  Col.  A.  having  double  e,  where  Mr.  Deane's  has 
single  e,  as  in  the  passage  on  p.  62,  so  oft.  refer,  to,  the  latter  reads  "  she 


WELD.  471 

had  so  much  slighted  "  when  the  former  adds  an  e  to  the  first  word,  and 
crowds  ano.  e  bef.  i  in  the  last  word.  May  I  not  suggest,  with  becoming 
modesty,  that  the  better  copy  is  the  later  ? 

Yet  more  direct  is  the  evidence  (to  the  same  point)  derived  from 
what  printers  call  overrunning  or  spacing  out,  to  improve  the  appear 
ance  of  a  line  or  a  page.  Several  such  I  pass  by  in  the  first  fifteen 
pages,  as  also  words  chang.  from  Italic  to  Roman  letters,  but  on  16th  p. 
the  top  line  of  Aspin wall's  copy  contains  at  the  end  the  citat.  "  Acts  15  : 
9,"  wh.  is  made  the  whole  of  sec.  line  in  the  others.  Then  to  equalize 
the  number  of  lines  in  the  respective  pages,  the  last  line  of  A's.  copy 
becomes  first  of  p.  17  in  the  others.  Many  more  might  be  quoted,  but 
beside  that  it  would  be  tiresome  to  do  it,  the  GREAT  evidence  of  unlike- 
ness  of  beginning  and  ending  of  lines,  without  changing  word  or  letter, 
exc.  in  space,  is  found  in  the  preface.  Let  the  introduct.  note  to  the 
Reader,  sixteen  lines  in  A's.  seventeen  in  D's.  copy,  be  compar.  in  the 
two  books  by  laying  one  alongside  of  the  other,  and  the  same  heavy  mass 
of  ornament  at  the  top  of  the  page  is  seen, —  as  well  as  the  beautiful 
decoration  around  the  big  I.  with  wh.  Weld  opens  in  ea. —  the  types 
are  the  same  in  every  letter,  exc.  that  "  straite  of  time  "  in  A's.  copy 
gains  one  letter  in  D's.  by  spell.  "  straight"  Yet,  altho.  the  initials 
append.  (T.  W.)  are  identical  in  both,  the  technical  sig.  A.  2  in  Aspin- 
wall's  is  deficient  in  Deane's  ;  so  also  A.  3  on  the  p.  next  but  one  of  A. 
in  D's.  appears  *  3 ;  and  the  page  in  A's.  copy  with  sig.  B.  has  two  stars 
in  D's.  copy  instead  of  a  letter,  and  so  onward,  until  the  page  last  but 
one  of  the  preface  in  A's.  copy,  with  sig.  C.  becomes  sig.  A.  and  last  but 
two  in  D's.  copy.  Of  the  earlier  impress,  every  one  of  the  lines  is 
overrun,  and  spaced  out  in  the  later.  The  same  cap.  I.  imbedd.  in  an 
ornam.  wh.  is  seen  in  the  opening  of  note  to  the  reader  for  both  copies 
of  A.  and  D.  appears  the  first  letter  on  p.  1  of  three  copies  of  Aspinwall, 
Coll.  and  Deane ;  .but  in  the  third  the  color  of  the  decoration  is  very 
much  darker  than  in  those  two.  Very  great  variety  is  seen  in  the 
preface,  especially  in  the  ornament  across  the  first  page,  and  the  types 
for  title,  while  hardly  a  letter  is  changed,  and  the  forms  plainly  are  the 
same ;  that  is,  the  types  were  never  distrib.  A's.  copy  gives  the  first 
word  "  AFter,"  while  D's.  uses  Italic  caps,  for  the  whole  word ;  and  the 
first  letter  is  twice  as  large  in  the  latter  copy,  and  fivefold  more  decorat. 
Nine  lines  of  the  first  page  run  over  from  Aspinwall's  to  the  sec.  of 
Deane's ;  and  the  last  nine  lines  on  the  next  of  A.  become  ten  lines  in 
D.  and  twelve  lines  at  the  foot  of  next  p.  in  A.  swell  into  fourteen  upon 
the  top  of  the  foil,  in  D.  The  accumulat.  is  seventeen  on  D's.  next  page, 
eighteen  on  next;  but  with  that  number  the  addition  ceases;  and  the 
Col's,  awkward  squad  is  made  to  dress  regularly  in  lines  thus  altered ; 


472  WELD. 

that  is  the  last  eighteen  lines,  inclus.  of  the  previous  signat.  T.  Welde, 
closing  the  preface,  run  over  from  the  foot  of  Aspinwall's  page,  and 
spread  upon  the  u^per  middle  of  Deane's.  Nothing  else  is  seen  to 
change  betw.  Aspinwall's  and  Deane's  beyond  the  trifling  amendm.  that 
a  compositor  naturally  introduces,  such  as  substituting  "  and  "  for  &,  and 
reduc.  the  author's  name  from  Roman  caps,  to  Italic  in  conformity  with 
the  preced.  type.  Deane's  is  the  more  correct  exemplar,  but  Aspinwall's 
for  its  very  incorrectness  ten  times  more  valuable  in  petty  history. 

Will  any  one  but  Mr.  Drake  believe,  that  all  this  succession  of  ap 
pearances  proves  nothing  to  strengthen  into  certainty  my  conject.  how 
Weld  desired  to  supply  a  shield  for  his  temerity,  or  a  cover  for  his  cow 
ardice  ?  —  that  the  long  title-page  of  "  Short  Story  "  was  not  print,  bef. 
"  Antinomians  and  Familists  "  was  writ.  ?  —  that  this  new  title  for  the 
same  book  instead  of  a  "printer's  error "  sprang  not  from  design  and 
intent  to  mystify  ?  —  or  that  it  is  wrong  in  me,  at  this  late  day,  to  expose 
such  a  typograph.  curiosity?  Would  any  London  printer  in  1644,  I 
dare  to  ask,  after  having  a  corrected  copy  of  a  work,  as  Antinomians 
and  Familists  (if  printed  first)  is  shown  to  be,  immediately  after  issue, 
from  the  same  forms,  an  impression  of  Rise,  Reign,  and  Ruin,  with  a 
copious  preface  and  address  to  the  Reader,  and  postscript,  containing 
many  errors  and  obliquities  of  type  (in  the  BODY  of  same  work)  as 
Aspinwall's  and  Choules's  copies  exhibit?  Two  questions  natural,  arise 
to  embarrass  those  that  would  glad,  seem  believers  of  Weld's  ingenuous 
ness, —  first,  wh.  was  corrector  of  the  press  that  obtain,  aft.  three  or  four 
trials,  as  pure  a  text  for  "  Short  Story,"  as  was  enjoy,  by  "Antinomians 
and  Familists,"  if  this  tract  were  print,  bef.  that,  when  both  tracts  are 
tak.  from  the  same  types  lock,  up  into  the  same  form  AT  LAST,  when 
"  Antinomians  and  Familists  "  agree  wholly  with  the  latest  impression  of 
the  Short  Story?  —  sec.  who  gave  Thomas  Weld  the  right  to  put  a 
preface  equal  to  one  fourth  of  the  tractate,  witluan  address  to  the 
Reader,  beside  "laying  down  the  order  and  sense  wh.  in  the  book  is 
[was]  omit."  "as  also  additions  to  the  conclusion  of  the  book?"  He 
prob.  utter,  indirect  suggestions,  ambiguas  spargere  voces,  that  the  orig. 
work  was  above  six  yrs.  bef.  concoct,  in  Boston,  where  Winth.  was  in 
the  chair  of  Gov.  when  SHORT  STORY  was  purch.  in  London  by  the 
King's  purveyor,  perhaps  in  few  hours  from  its  issue,  and  where  I  doubt 
not  the  publisher  of  ANTINOMIANS  AND  FAMILISTS  had  act.  as  the 
Editor  of  what,  on  our  side  of  the  water,  when  forgotten  on  the  other, 
was  down  to  1843,  always  called  Weld's  Rise,  Reign,  and  Ruin. 

As  to  any  moral  delinquency  in  my  regard  "  to  the  memory  of  Mr. 
Welde,"  that  may  be  left  in  silence,  without  fear,  to  any  human  tri 
bunal  ;  but  in  the  Court  of  criticism,  I  can  kiss  the  rod  cheerfully,  and 


WELD.  473 

desire  only  that  my  submiss.  continue  until  competent  opinion  be  ob 
tained  as  to  whose  back  it  should  fall  upon.  Yet  the  sentence  pronounc. 
against  my  criminality,  in  exposing  the  attempt  at  decept.  by  Rev.  T. 
Weld,  may  lessen  the  reverence  due  to  the  spotless  judicial  ermine,  even 
on  the  shoulders  of  the  historian  of  Boston.  Some  readers  perhaps  will 
rejoice  that  so  many  hours  were  giv.  to  this  investigat.  by  sev.  of  my 
friends,  tho.  that  the  collation  of  both  copies  of  Mr.  Choules's  vol.  under 
the  true  and  the  spurious  title,  was  confin.  of  necessity  to  few  hours  by 
a  most  cautious  reader  in  the  auction  room,  only  few  days  bef.  the  sale, 
is  much  regret. ;  yet  they  may  hereafter  be  on  their  guard  against  the 
artifice  of  a  casuist,  that  for  a  season  delud.  the  sagacity  of  the  sub 
librarian  of  Harv.  and  triumph,  over  the  innocence  of  Felt.

WELDEN,  CHRISTOPHER,  Charlestown,  d.  says  Farmer,  wh.  gives 
him  distinct,  of  sen.  29  Apr.  1668;  yet  I  much  doubt  this  must  be

seems  to  render  it  very  unlikely,  that  she  was,  as  Goodwin,  251,  makes 
her,  d.  of  John  Curtis ;  but  rather  an  Eng.  woman,  nam.  Eliz.  Bourne, 
as  from  the  adjudicat.  of  the  Court,  upon  est.  of  Ellen  Bostwick,  a  rela

aged  79.  §  f  j  THOMAS,  Hartford,  an  orig.  propr.  as  also  at  "Wethers- 
field,  appears  first  in  the  Rec.  of  that  Col.  Trumbull  I.  9,  as  the  sec. 
magistr.  at  the  Gen.  Ct.  1  May  1637,  when  war  was  denounc.  against 
the  Pequots,  they  hav.  long  been  hostile,  and  the  proportion  of  90  men 
fixed  for  the  sev.  planta.  viz.  Hartford,  42,  Windsor,  30,  and  Wethers- 
field,  18.  Yet  it  is  quite  uncert.  when  he  came  from  Eng.  tho.  satis- 
factor.  kn.  that  he  brot.  three  s.  John,  Thomas,  and  Samuel,  and  three 
ds.  Mary,  wh.  d.  bef.  her  f.  prob.  unm,  Ann,  and  Sarah ;  equal,  uncert. 
is  the  name  of  his  w.  though  we  can  hardly  doubt  whether  he  brot.  one  ; 
and  stranger  still  is  the  uncertainty  of  his  prior  resid.  in  Mass.  He  had 
good  proportion  of  the  patents  for  Swampscot  and  Dover,  wh.  he  sold 
Aug.  1 648,  to  Christopher  Lawson.  We  may  then  safely  conclude,  that 
a  person  of  his  educ.  and  good  est.  had  not  come  over  the  water  bef. 
1636,  and  that  he  staid  so  short  a  time  at  Boston  or  Cambridge  as  to 
leave  no  trace  of  hims.  at  either,  and  he  was  estab.  at  Hartford  bef. 
Gov.  Haynes  left  Cambridge.  There  is,  indeed,  a  very  precise  tradit. 
of  his  coming,  with  f.  Nathaniel,  in  the  fleet  with  Higginson,  1629,  to 
Salem ;  but  that  is  merely  ridiculous.  He  took,  for  sec.  w.  a.  1 645, 
Eliz.  wid.  of  Nathaniel  Foote  of  Wethersfield ;  on  the  d.  of  Gov.  Haynes, 
1  Mar.  1654,  the  Dept.  Edward  Hopkins  being  in  Eng.  on  pub.  busi 
ness,  he  was  made  head  of  the  Col.  with  title  of  Moderator,  but  on  the 
day  of  elect,  in  May,  Hopkins  was  chos.  Gov.  and  Welles  Dept.  tho.  H. 
never  came  back  to  Conn,  being  tak.  by  the  great  Protector  into  his 
Parliam.  so  that  in  1655,  hav.  had  the  duty  to  fulfil  in  the  vacation  of 
the  chair,  he  was  chos.  Gov.  and  Webster,  Dept.  and  in  1656,  accord,  to 
the  constitut.  of  the  Col.  "  that  no  person  be  chos.  Gov.  above  once  in 
two  yrs."  Webster  was  made  Gov.  and  in  1657,  Winthrop  Gov.  while 
Welles  was  Dept.  both  yrs.  and  in  1658  made  Gov.  again  with  Winth. 
for  Dept.  Both  chang.  places  in  May  1659,  and  Welles  d.  14  Jan.  foil,

11  July  1700,  Isaac,  s.  of  the  sec.  Gov.  Winslow.  This  union  is  worthy 
of  note,  because  in  our  rec.  the  two  fam.  names  Winslow  and  Wensley, 
interchaugeab.  may  be  seen  confus.  a  thousand  times,  the  same  individ. 
in  one  line  call,  different  from  ano.  line  on  same  page.  Ano.  ch.  was 
John,  b.  8  Feb.  1675.  From  his  will,  9  Dec.  1672,  we  find  he  was 
bound  on  a  voyage,  divides  est.  into  eight  equal  parts,  of  wh.  two  to  his 
w.  two  to  s.  Richard,  left  one  ea.  to  the  ds.  of  wh.  the  youngest  was  then 
unb.  but  by  codic.  in  our  Vol.  VI.  made  26  Dec.  1675,  is  told  that  "  God 
hath  giv.  me  two  ch.  more  since  the  above."  Very  curious  is  it,  that  the 
will  of  this  Wensley,  in  the  rec.  immediately  follows  that  of  Samuel  Wins- 
low,  also  of  Boston,  mariner.  His  d.  Mercy  m.  Joseph  Bridgham,  Esq. 
and  next,  8  Dec.  1712,  Hon.  Thomas  Gushing.  NATHANIEL,  Salisbury, 
s.  of  the  first  Samuel,  b.  prob.  in  Eng.  old  eno.  to  be  tax.  1650,  m.  14  Oct. 
1661,  Mary  Jones,  in  the  will  of  her  f.  Thomas,  call.  Winslow,  as  memb. 
of  the  milit.  force,  took  o.  of  alleg.  13  Dec.  1677,  bot.  of  John  Alcock, 
in  1661  part  1-32  of  Block  Island.  It  had  been  sold  to  A.  by  John 
Endicott,  Daniel  Dennison,  and  William  Hathorne,  to  wh.  it  was  giv.  by 
Mass,  governm.  for  their  serv.  in  the  Pequot  war,  when  the  conquest 
was  made ;  and  he  seems  to  have  been  at  Block  Island  1685.  *  SAMUEL, 
an  early  grantee,  with  Bradstreet,  Dudley,  and  others,  of  Colchester 
1638,  but  not  orig.  sett,  of  Salisbury,  dignif.  with  prefix  of  respect  in 
1650,  when  he  and  s.  Nathaniel,  and  Samuel,  were  tax.  The  s.  I  sup 
pose,  as  well  as  d.  Deborah,  with  w.  Eliz.  he  brot.  from  Eng.  but  other 
ch.  b.  here,  were  Ephraim,  15  Apr.  1641  ;  Elisha,  30  May  1646;  and 
the  w.  d.  2  June  1649.  He  was  freem.  22  May  1639,  and  invent,  mode 
of  mak.  salt,  to  wh.  our  Gen.  Ct.  gave  encouragera.  as  in  Rec.  I.  331 
and  II.  5,  or  Felt  II.  176.  He  was  rep.  1642,  5,  and  53;  d.  2  June 
1663;  and  his  wid.  Ann,  a  sec.  w.  m.  1657,  wid.  of  Henry  Boade  of 
Wells,  a.  21  Mar.  1677.  SAMUEL,  Salisbury,  s.  of  the  precea.  perhaps 
eldest,  b.  prob.  in  Eng.  made  his  will  1665,  but  whether  he  had  w.  or 
ch.  is  not  kn.  to  me.  What  wid.  W.  Sewall  refers  to,  in  his  diary,  sub. 
Dec.  1686,  Geneal.  Reg.  VI.  73,  when  he  ment.  d.  of  her  s.  Jenner  in 
Eng.  is  beyond  my  conject.  but  it  may  not  prob.  be  Ann,  the  wid.  of 
Henry  Boade  of  Wells  or  Saco,  wh.  in  1  657  agreed  to  m.  this  Samuel ; 
nor  should  I  refer  to  so  unimport.  a  fact,  were  it  not  to  save  trouble  to 
some  hunter  of  the  Indexes  of  Geneal.  Reg.  that  Wersley  VI.  243, 
means  the  same  man.  Sometimes  this  name  is  confound,  with  Winslow ; 
and  almost  as  oft.  the  name  in  Col.  Rec.  is  Winslow,  as  otherwise.

at  Kittery  or  York,  some  time  a.  1 677.  From  the  doomed  Falmouth,  in

his  ch.  by  w.  Catharine  were  bapt.  17  May  1696,  said  Farmer,  but  only 
ten  had  been  b.  at  that  time.  However,  he  had  thirteen,  as  he  caused 
them  to  be  put  upon  rec.  at  Norwich,  whither  he  had  rem.  from  New 
London,  if  Farmer  be  right,  as  he  gives  him  recommend,  from  R.  to  that 
place,  June  1707  ;  but  prob.  Miss  Caulkin's  would  not  have  been  silent  on 
so  good  a  point,  and  we  may  presume  his  change  was  only  from  R.  direct 
to  Norwich.  The  ch.  may  have  been  b.  at  Dover,  Newbury,  or  Row

choice,  as  appears  in  Bond,  14,  is  call,  uncle  of  Sarah  and  Benjamin 
Barnard,  ch.  of  Benjamin  and  Sarah  B.  To  this  in  the  next  vol.  of 
Reg.  p.  48  is  repl.  that  perhaps  the  w.  of  Paul  was  a  Barnard,  sis.  of 
their  f.  and  again  it  may  be  equal,  prob.  that  their  mo.  was  sis.  of  the  w.

Mosely's  corap.  Dec.  1675.  *  FRANCIS,  Salem,  freem.  5  Nov.  1633,  a 
friend  of  Roger  Williams ;  but  whether  he  came  with  him,  or  when,  or 
whence  he  came,  is  unkn.  nor  have  we  the  elate  of  his  join,  the  ch. 
He  was  rep.  at  the  first  Gen.  Ct.  that  was  attend,  by  dep.  but  was  unfor 
tunate  in  his  w.  wh.  was  punish,  by  the  bilboes,  tho.  her  offence  was,  as 
Felt  presum.  Eccles.  Ann.  I.  341,  "of  a  religious  character,"  and  he 
fell  into  the  impractica.  notions  as  to  the  duty  of  separat.  of  chhs.  and 
went  to  Providence  with  Williams,  there  was  one  of  the  founders  of  his 
eh.  but  in  few  yrs.  disagreed  with  him,  and  symboliz.  with  Gorton, 
Wicks,  Holden,  and  others,  rem.  with  them  to  Id.  a  little  down  the  Bay, 
purchas.  from  the  Ind.  now  Warwick,  was  denounc.  by  the  authority  of 
Mass.  seiz.  and  brot.  prison,  to  Boston,  by  Ct.  sentenc.  Nov.  1 643,  as  in 
Rec.  II.  52,  to  be  kept  at  labor  in  Dorchester,  with  suffic.  irons  to  pre 
vent  escape ;  and  liberat.  at  last,  thro,  fear  of  his  influence  over  his 
keeper's  relig.  sentiments,  wh.  under  threat  of  death  he  was  prohibit. 
from  attempt,  to  pervert,  d.  bef.  June  1645,  leav.  no  issue.  FRANCIS, 
Plymouth,  stands  in  the  tax  list  for  Jan.  1633,  but  not  in  that  of  next  yr. 
nor  is  more  told  of  him  in  any  place  within  my  knowledge,  unless  he  be 
the  same  as  was  call,  at  Duxbury,  Francis  West.  JOHN,  Salem,  join, 
the  ch.  1648,  being  then  17  yrs.  old,  if  the  fam.  tradit.  be  correct,  wh. 
seems  very  prob.  that  he  came  in  1644,  aged  13,  from  Buckinghamsh. 
Still  we  must  be  careful  to  doubt  in  proper  places,  for  the  same  valua. 
testim.  notes  on  his  gr.-st.  "  that  he  was  one  of  the  found,  of  the  ch.  in 
Reading."  Now  we  kn.  the  falsity  of  this,  for  he  could  be  only  14  yrs. 
old  on  that  event.  He  had  rem.  to  Reading,  prob.  bef.  m.  and  his  early 
ch.  were  carr.  to  Salem  for  bapt.  they  were  Sarah,  b.  15  July  1656,  bapt. 
10  May  1657;  Mary,  25  May  1659,  perhaps  d.  very  soon,  certain  its 
bapt.  is  not  found  at  Salem  first  ch. ;  John,  9  Mar.  bapt.  29  Aug.  1661  ; 
and  Eliz.  bapt.  Oct.  1663;  Stephen,  b.  a.  1665;  and  perhaps  Samuel, 
and  Thomas,  as  Eaton  in  Geneal.  Reg.  II.  48,  indicates.  In  1691  he 
was  adni.  freem.  and  d.  1723.  MATTHEW,  Providence  1644,  may  be 
the  same  man  call.  Matthew  West.  STEPHEN,  Reading,  s.  of  John,  had 
Stephen,  and  d.  1753,  aged  88.  See  Geneal.  Reg.  I.  278.  THOMAS,  a 
London  merch.  had  engag.  in  plant,  a  col.  in  1622  at  Weymouth,  but 
his  sett,  were  very  incompet.  persons,  much  disqualif.  by  former  habits  of 
life  and  charact.  the  next  yr.  on  visit  to  the  country,  he  was  dishearten, 
and  gave  up  his  hopes,  went  home,  and  in  the  gr.  civ.  war,  d.  at  Bristol. 
Of  this  name  Farmer  notes  fifteen  gr.  in  N.  E.  coll.  up  to  1834,  of  wh. 
I  find  only  four  at  Harv.  and  one  at  Yale.  Oft.  it  is  writ,  as  the  sound 
was  Wesson.

found  in  Budington's  list  of  ch.  memb.  Farmer  had  provid.  him  a 
resid.  in  Cambridge  also ;  but  this,  I  presume,  to  be  the  same  as 
Charlestown.  He  seems  to  have  preach,  at  Duxbury,  but  bee.  min.  of 
the  sec.  ch.  at  S.  in  1645,  and  had  sev.  ch.  b.  in  this  country,  as  prob.

m.  9  Nov.  foil.  Eliz.  Griffin,  perhaps  d.  of  Hugh ;  but  whether  he  had 
issue  by  either  w.  is  unkn.  and  he  d.  21  Feb.  1676.  SAMUEL,  Kings 
ton,  R.  I.  only  s.  of  Theophilus  of  the  same,  had  two  ws.  first  a  Hop 
kins,  next,  a  Harrington,  as  Potter  reports ;  and  that  his  ch.  were 
seven,  Thomas,  Samuel,  Theophilus,  James,  or  Jeremy,  John,  and  two 
ds.  and  that  he  d.  a.  1782.  THEOPHILUS,  Kingstown,  R.  L  came  from 
Virg.  with  w.  Eliz.  a.  1676,  had  Joan,  Ann,  Theodosia,  Eliz.  Martha, 
Lydia,  and  Samuel ;  but  it  is  thot.  that  if  not  more,  the  eldest  two  were 
b.  in  Virg.  Great  uncertainty  attaches  to  almost  every  thing  he  said  or 
did,  as  is  found  oft.  in  regard  to  those  wh.  emig.  from  a  dist.  country, 
and  liv.  to  gr.  age.  Potter  says  he  knew  Hebrew,  Greek,  &c.  and  d.  a. 
1719  or  20,  aged  a.  104.  It  would  have  been  strange,  if  more  than  one 
myth  had  not  sprung  out  of  his  grave.  My  first  exercise  of  caution 
would  be  to  examine  the  means  of  reducing  his  yrs.  by  20  or  near,  for 
his  only  s.  it  is  said,  d.  a.  1782,  and  it  is  quite  improb.  that  when  he  was 
b.  the  f.  was  much  beyond  70.  Beside  that  his  w.  d.  8  or  10  yrs.  bef. 
her  h.  Dr.  Stiles  in  the  exuberance  of  conject.  that  was  requisite  to 
sustain  his  credulity,  supposes  he  may  have  been  one  of  the  regicides. 
But  we  kn.  the  names  of  all  wh.  acted  in  that  tragedy,  as  well  as  of 
those  wh.  were  nominat.  and  declin.  to  act,  or  withdrew,  as  did  sev.  aft. 
participat.  some  hours  in  the  mockery  of  trial,  bef.  its  end,  among  ail  of 
wh.  is  not  that  of  Theophilus  Whale.  One  of  those  misguid.  men 
would  have  resort,  to  any  other  part  of  the  world,  sooner  than  to

wh.  the  country  in  milit.  districts,  twelve  in  numb,  like  the  tribes  of 
Israel,  was  made  subject,  as  if  martial  law  could  forever  be  contin.  Of 
that  power,  aft.  short  trial,  tho.  he  was  a  relative  of  the  great  Protector, 
Cromwell's  iron  will  was  compel,  to  strip  him,  so  odious  had  the  tyranny 
grown.  He  fled  from  Eng.  on  the  restorat.  and  with  his  s.-in-law,  Wil

of  Rev.  John  Russell's  ho.  at  H.  where  he  d.  in  few  yrs.  and  there  was 
bur.  The  stone  wh.  was  fondly  suppos.  from  the  initial  letters  E.  W.  to 
have  been  erected  over  his  remains  at  New  Haven,  belong,  no  doubt,  to 
the  resting-place  of  Edward  Wigglesworth,  and  bore  date  1653,  wh, 
was  clumsi.  attempt,  to  be  alter,  to  1673,  or  8,  as  this  might  have  been

whip,  for  pilot,  some  from  Lynn  to  Salem.  Similar  treatm.  for  some

as  one  of  the  Counc.  of  Sir  Edmund  Andros,  he  thwart,  some  of  his

in  that  town,  where  liv.  betw.  1650  and  1680,  thirty  distinct  ones,  as 
Farmer  quotes  Shattuck  to  verify.  JONATHAN,  Newbury,  s.  of  David

mos.;  and  Mary,  20  Sept.  1643;  yet  the  rec.  says  her  mo.  was  bur.  two 
mos.  bef.  and  by  w.  Sarah  he  had  Rebecca,  6  Sept.  1645.  Farmer 
thinks  he  may  be  the  man  wh.  d.  at  Newbury,  13  Oct.  1659,  that  seems 
less  prob.  to  me  than  an  alternat.  propos.  by  him  in  MS.  that  he  was  k. 
by  the  Ind.  22  Aug.  1675  or  6,  at  Lancaster.  JOSEPH,  Boston,  a  tailor,

of  the  same,  was  there  liv.  1687-1700;  but  of  his  fam.  no  acco.  is 
obtain.  There  was  a  Joseph,  a  physician  at  Salem  1704.  JOSHUA, 
Concord  1636,  says  Farmer,  but  I  fear  the  date  demands  20  or  30  yrs. 
addit.  for  by  w.  Eliz.  it  is  seen  that  he  had  Joshua,  b.  1663,  d.  at  3  yrs. ;

wrong  date  is  giv.  to  Miriam,  for  she  m.  1667,  James  Blackman.  He

wh.  we  read  imperfect,  as  part  of  the  rec.  in  this  place  is  burn,  it  is  clear 
that  the  est.  in  Concord,  old  homestead,  was  giv.  to  Thomas ;  Fairfield 
est.  to  John  ;  with  notice  of  wid.  and  three  ds.  of  wh.  Hannah,  the

be  presum.  that  he  was  oldest  ch.  and  never  came  to  our  side  of  the

London,  a  vindicat.  of  his  f.  in  Nov.  1645,  against  the  bitter  aspersions 
of  Thomas  Welde,  and  very  likely  may  have  thot.  it  useful  to  display 
equal  spirit.  I  can  have  no  doubt  that  he  was  d.  bef.'the  will  of 'his  f.

that  he  was  bapt.  16  Feb.  1724,  then  aged  64,  at  the  ch.  in  Brattle  str. 
by  Rev1.  William  Cooper  of  Boston).  He  was  ens.  of  Standish's  milit.

unseen,  exc.  as  "  Mr.  Winslow's  man,"  wh.  seems  hardly  so  dignified  a

He  prayed,  1689,  for  protect,  of  Mass,  and  was  liv.  says  Quint,  1694.

WHITFIELD,  EDWARD,  Reading  1649,  as  I  learn  from  Col.  Rec.  II. 
283,  but  as  Eaton  does  not  name  him,  I  judge  he  rem.  soon.  HENRY, 
Guilford,  came  to  New  Haven  in  July  1639,  with  Col.  George  Fenwick 
and  his  lady,  and  a  ch.  of  famous  John  Davenport,  who,  in  a  letter  of 
27  Sept.  aft.  to  lady  Mary  Vere,  tells  of  the  ship,  that  she  was  the  first 
"that  ever  cast  anchor  in"  that  place.  See  Geneal.  Reg.  IX.  149. 
No  doubt  he  was  bred  up  for  the  pulpit,  but  of  his  place  of  educ.  we 
are  ign.  The  common  acco.  of  him  is,  that  he  was  s.  of  a  lawyer,  b.  a. 
lo&^sett.  as. min.  at  Qckham,  a.  20  ms.  from  London,  in  Co.  Surry,  but 
others  say  Ockley  or  Okely  in  that  sh.  a.  three  ms.  from  the  metrop. 
was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  ch.  at  G.  yet  the  establishm.  of  the  ch. 
seems  to  be  postpon.  to  1643,  prob.  from  the  slow  growth  of  the  town. 
He  had  propty.  eno.  and  disregard,  the  fulminat.  of  Bp.  Laud  for  not 
read,  the  royal  proclam.  for  sports  on  Sunday,  resign,  his  place  without 
dispute,  after  serv.  at  the  altar  near  twenty  years  in  his  native  Id.  Late 
in  the  autumn  of  1650,  he  went  home,  publish,  the  two  foil.  yrs.  rela 
tions  of  the  spread  of  the  gospel  among  our  aborig.  and  d.  in  the  city  of 
Winchester,  it  is  said,  in  the  office  of  min.  tho.  of  this  I  much  doubt,  if 
my  construct,  of  the  lang.  of  letters  from  his  s.-in-law  and  neph.  both

Jan.  1 690,  Ann,  d.  of  capt.  Jonathan  Danforth  of  the  same,  had  nine  ch. 
of  wh.  only  Samuel,  b.  6  Sept.  1702,  f.  of  a  respecta.  line,  is  kn.  to  me ; 
d.  22  Dec.  1736.  SAMUEL,  Lynn,  b.  at  Boston,  Co.  Line.  20  Nov. 
1597,  s.  of  John  Whiting,  the  mayor  of  the  borough,  was  matric.  1613 
at  Emanuel,  the  Puritan  Coll.  of  the  Univ.  of  Cambridge,  as  it  was 
then  stigmatiz.  had  his  degrees  1616,  and  1620,  preach,  as  chaplain  three 
yrs.  in  private  fams.  if  Mather  be  correct,  after  his  master's  degr.  and 
then  wjQBJLio._Xynn  Regis,  Co.  Norfolk,  spent  ano.  three  yrs.  as  collea. 
or  curate  of  the  rector,  and  being  disturb,  by  Ills  diocesan,  rem.  to  Skir- 
beck,  close  to  his  native  place.  Aft.  bur.  his  first  w.  by  wh.  he  had  two 
s.  who  d.  in  Eng.  and  one  d.  brot.  to  our  country,  Mather  says  he  m.  a 
d.  of  Oliver  St.  John,  a  Bedfordsh.  man.  of  fam.  nearly  relat.  to  the 
Lord  St.  John  of  Bletso,  wh.  may  all  be  true,  but  the  writer  confuses 
the  time  very  cruelly,  when  he  should  tell  the  date  of  her  m.  or  d.  by 
saying  she  "  stayed  with  her  worthy  consort  forty-seven  yrs.  went  in  the 
seventy-third  yr.  of  his  age  unto  him  to  whom  her  soul  had  been,"  &c. 
Taking  the  pains  to  extract  meaning  out  of  this  gabble,  by  common  arith 
metic,  we  find  reason  to  see  that  Mather  need  not  be  believed  literally ; 
as  thus,  W.  was  in  his  73d  yr.  in  1669,  and  the  union  having  existed  47 
yrs.  of  course  it  began  in  1 622,  wh.  is  rather  early  for  him  who  had  obt. 
his  master's  degree  in  1620,  m.  one  w.  had  three  ch.  and  lost  her.  I 
have  learn,  to  distrust  the  author  of  the  Magnalia  in  all  cases  where  he 
employs  roundabout  instead  of  direct  phraseology,  and  even  in  this  is 
sometimes  careless.  He  came  in  the  same  ship  with  Wheelwright,  who 
had  been  his  neighbor  in  Co.  Line.  arr.  26  May  1636,  and  sett.  8  Nov. 
next  in  the  ch.  of  Lynn,  freem.  7  Dec.  foil.  tho.  the  prefix  of  respect  is 
not  found  with  his  name.  With  him  came  w.  s.  Samuel,  b.  at  Skirbeck, 
25  Mar.  1633,  H.  C.  1653,  but  not  entit.  to  his  A.  M.  until  1656,  and 
two  ds.  of  wh.  one  was  Dorothy,  b.  by  the  first  w.  who  m.  4  June  1 650, 
Thomas  Weld  of  Roxbury ;  and  the  other,  Eliz.  by  sec.  w.  m.  Rev.

aged  12  yrs.  and  others  of  the  ch.  came  in  1641,  may  deserve  a  partial 
credence  beyond  what  such  evidence  gains  usually  from  the  judicious. 
Prob.  conject.  is  that,  beside  Abijah  and  Zechariah,  and  Hannah,  Judith, 
also,  and  Eliz.  were  b.  on  this  side  of  the  water ;  but  the  order,  in  wh.

JOHN,  Weymouth,  by  w.  Sarah  had  Increase,  b.  1655,  says  Farmer,  but 
that  is  earlier  than  our  rec. ;  Ebenezer,  14  May  1658  ;  Simon,  11  May

Sept.  1675;  was  freem.  1691,  unless  this  means  his  s.  as  seems  more 
prob.  His  will  of  1695  does  not  name  Increase,  nor  Simon,  nor  Jane, 
but  to  the  other  ch.  adds  John,  Sarah,  Deborah,  and  Ruth,  and  gr.s. 
Richard.  Prob.  his  w.  was  d.  as  she  is  not  nam.  The  will  was  not  pro.

w.  Eliz.  had  Alice,  14  Nov.  1695;  at  least  the  rec.  gives  such  w.  and 
ch.  to  one  Simeon,  but  it  may  be  mistake  for  the  next.  SIMON,  Wey 
mouth,  s.  of  the  first  John,  may,  perhaps,  legally  claim  the  w.  and  ch.

Hutchins,  by  Bond  thot.  to  be  Abigail,  w.  of  John  H.  and  d.  Woods,

surname  may  never  be  satisfactorily  shown,  any  more  than  that  of  the

may  as  well,  I  think,  fall  to  THOMAS,  Watertown,  s.  of  the  preced.  m.

sound  of  this  name  having  its  first  syl.  short  or  long,  at  the  whim  of 
some  of  the  descend,  who  prefer,  the  long,  easily  slid  into  Whiting  in

Thomas ;    Samuel ;    Pelatiah ;    and  Abraham.      Why  he  call,  two  s. 
Thomas  might,  by  conject.  be  explain,  as  if  the  last  five  were  b.  by  the 
sec.  w.  sure,  and  the  first  five  were  by  w.  Sarah,  wh.  d.  in  Eng.  and  for 
the  boys  the  opinion  would  answer  better  than  for  the  d.     Yet  perhaps 
few,  if  any  of  the  ten,  were  b.  in  this  country  ;  at  least,  he  is  not  found 
among  inhabs.  of  C.  in  1658 ;  tho.  he  may  have  liv.  in  some  other  town

1714.  Cothren,  from  whose  large  gather,  is  deriv.  part  of  this  detail, 
believes  that  he  was  first  of  the  name  on  this  side  of  the  water,  and 
that  he  came  a.  1650,  and  bee.  a  tanner  and  shoemaker.  Of  course,  he

the  name  of  w.  date  of  m.  and  of  subseq.  b.  could  not  be  ascert.  to

of  Mr.  Felt,  as  one  of  Essex  Co.  d.  bef.  1640.  Against  this  surname 
our  ears  instinctiv.  protest;  yet  to  sustain  the  reading  of  Mr.  Felt, 
might  be  cited  Geneal.  Reg.  IV.  248,  among  the  assessmts.  of  tax 
July  1657,  of  Dover,  is  one  for  Nathell  wife,  tho.  it  must  be  fear,  that 
this  is  too  indistinct  to  be  valued  much ;  and  \vh.  a  most  sagacious 
reader  of  our  old  MSS.  presumes  to  be  Nicho.  Wise,  the  freem.  of 
1645.  Then  comes  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VI.  377,  from  the  pub.  reg.  pur 
port,  to  transcribe  rec.  of  Roxbury,  Jane  Wife,  wid.  bur.  1637  ;  but  my 
copy  of  the  town  rec.  giv.  it  plain  Wise,  detracts  from  the  weight  of 
this  item.  She  prob.  was  wid.  bef.  coming,  and  the  rev.  patriot  Wise, 
min.  of  Ipswich,  drew  his  orig.  from  Roxbury,  where  also  were  brs.  and 
sis.  Less  reliance  may  be  giv.  to  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII.  346,  from  the 
same  public  docum.  purport,  to  copy  Cambridge  rec.  John  Wife  d.  9 
Sept.  1644,  bee.  Harris,  1G8,  quot.  the  town  rec.  makes  it  Wise.

3  for  her  m.  gives  m.  of  her  sis.  Dorothy  on  14.  What  reverence  is 
due  to  the  biogr.  sketch  of  Gov.  Bradstreet  in  Geneal.  Reg.  L  77,  is  of 
little  conseq.  here,  for  this  d.  who  m.  Wiggin  is  count,  twice.  He  had

15  yrs.  passeng.  in  the  Speedwell  from  London  to  Boston  1656. 
|*  THOMAS,  Dover,  one  of  the  earliest  mem.  of  governm.  there,  1631,

Emanuel  Downing,  and  Nov.  to  Sir  John  Cooke,  wh.  are  print,  in  3 
Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  VIII.  came  back  in  Oct.  1 633,  with  agency  of  the 
puritan  peers,  Say  and  Brooke,  prob.  bring,  w.  Catharine,  by  wh.  he 
had  Andrew,  b.  1635;  Mary;  and  Thomas;  all  bapt.  20  Sept.  1641, 
and  prob.  others,  as  Henry  Sherborne  is  said  to  have  m.  his  d.  Sarah. 
He  favor,  the  union  of  the  N.  H.  people  with  Mass,  was  rep.  1645  for 
Hampton,  and  in  1650  chos.  an  Assist,  in  wh.  office  he  contin.  serv.  till 
three  yrs.  bef.  his  d.  1667.  In  the  artifices  for  support  of  the  spurious 
deed  of  the  larger  part  of  N.  H.  17  May  1629,  Wiggin's  name  is  used 
with  Walter  Neale's  in  a  forged  letter  of  13  Aug.  1633,  print,  in  Belkn. 
N.  H.  Vol.  I.  of  first  Ed.  in  Appendix  6,  with  the  valua.  letter  of  Cot 
ton  Mather,  in  aid  of  the  cause,  whether  with  his  eyes  open,  or  only 
winking,  may  be  disput.  The  docum.  is  self-destruct,  inasmuch  as 
Wiggin  was  agent  of  the  party  in  Eng.  oppos.  in  interest  to  Mason, 
whose  agent  was  Neal,  but  far  more  open  to  object,  by  one  inquir.  only 
after  the  truth,  as  purport,  to  be  writ,  by  them  at  Dover,  call.  Northam

Salem,  where  he  arr.  10  Oct.  after  eight  weeks'  pass.  See  Winth.  Hist. 
I.  115.  THOMAS,  s.  of  the  preced.  may  have  liv.  at  Hampton  or  Exe 
ter,  was  freem.  of  Mass.  1669,  but  very  little  is  kn.  of  him  exc.  that  his 
w.  was  Sarah,  sis.  of  capt.  Walter  Barefoot,  yet  in  1690  he  was  one  of 
the  many  petnrs.  for  the  renewal  of  Mass,  jurisdict.  against  wh.  Bare 
foot  had  act.  and  ch.  were  Thomas,  Sarah,  and  Susanna. 

WIGGLES  WORTH,  EDWARD,  New  Haven  1638,  had  come  in  Aug.  of

famous  Ezekiel  Cheever,  H.  C.  1651,  had  there,  Abigail,  bapt.  Dec.

John  Winthrop,  18  July  bef.  his  d.  wh.  may  be  read  in  3  Mass.  Hist. 
Coll.  IX.  296,  7.  In  his  will,  made  six  days  bef.  that  let.  he  names 
only  ch.  Michael,  and  Abigail,  to  wh.  he  gives  £160.  and  £80.  severally, 
but  directs  that  her  share  be  paya.  at  20  yrs.  of  age,  and  all  the  resid. 
to  w.  Esther,  wh.  tho.  constit.  extrix.  was,  with  her  d.  commit,  to  the  s.

By  the  inv.  his  est.  appears  £401.  14s.  2d.  In  his  diary,  the  s.  writes 
"  news  is  brot.  to  me,"  Friday,  14  Oct.  1653,  "  of  my  f.'s  d.  My  f.  d.  1

New  Haven  the  inscript.  on  his  gr.-st,  back  of  the  first  ch.  was  alter, 
from  1653  to  1678,  as  the  fac  simile  in  Stiles's  Hist,  of  the  Regicides

WIGLEY,  EDWARD,  Concord  1666. 

WIGNALL,  ALEXANDER,  is  the  name  of  one  who  ask.  19  Oct.  1630, 
to  be  adm.  as  freem.  of  Mass,  and  took  the  o.  on  18  May  foil,  in  both 
the  lists  hav.  prefix  of  respect  to  show  that  he  was  either  a  scholar,  or  a 
man  of  property ;  yet  so  brief  was  his  sojourn  in  our  country,  that  we 
find  not  the  place,  where  he  sat  down.  Slight  conject.  may  be  rais. 
from  the  circumstance  of  his  standing  in  ea.  roll  next  above  capt. 
William  Jennison,  that  he  was  assoc.  with  that  gent,  but  at  Watertown 
he  does  not  appear,  and  the  safest  opin.  is,  that  he  came  in  the  fleet  with 
Winthrop,  and  that  he  went  home  soon.  Frothingham,  80,  names  John 
Wignall  of  Charlestown  in  1630,  and  he  may  be  the  same  person. 

WIK,  WILLIAM,  is  a  name  sign,  with  very  many  others  of  Marble- 
head  to  a  petitn.  Oct.  1668,  against  the  duties  on  imported  goods. 
Whether  it  be  correct,  spell,  may  be  doubt,  but  not  that  it  is  extinct.

of  a  shipload,  272,  sold  from  the  shambles  the  yr.  preced.  being  the  yr.

have  experience  of  the  tender  mercies  of  Cromwell  after  his  victory  of 
Dunbar  in  the  preced.  yr.  Whether  the  Dunbar  invoice  contain  the 
names  of  as  many  young  men  as  the  Worcester,  or  more,  or  less,  is 
unkn.  but  it  is  an  object  of  high  interest  to  find  that  one,  out  of  a  hun

all  these  ch.  were  prob.  b.  at  Guilford,  whither  he  rem.  a.  1676.  *  SAMUEL, 
Windsor,  br.  of  the  preced.  had  Samuel,  b.  1666  ;  rem.  to  Simsbury,  there 
had,  perhaps,  William  and  Joseph,  and  was  rep.  1689.  TIMOTHY,  Con 
cord,  rem.  to  Stratford  1639,  says  Farmer  MS.  quot.  Trumbull,  I.  109, 
as  authty.  for  his  being  one  of  the  first  sett.  But  I  presume  that  is  a 
mistake  for  William,  whose  s.  Timothy,  a  very  small  ch.  certain,  even  if 
not  unb.  at  that  time,  wh.  is  on  the  list  of  freem.  1669,  m.  28  Dec.

in  Mass,  of  7  Dec.  1636,  came  in  the  Planter  from  London,  in  the  ship's 
clearance  call,  linen  weaver,  aged  34,  with  w.  Margaret,  24,  and  s.  John, 
2,  but  at  what  town  he  first  sat  down,  is  not  cert.  We  can  be  sure  it 
was  not  Boston,  nor  Salem,  nor  Charlestown,  nor  Dorchester,  nor  Rox- 
bury,  nor  Watertown,  and  of  the  few  others  Concord  seems  most  likely. 
To  what  part  of  Conn,  he  first  rem.  is  unkn.  or  at  what  time ;  but  he  is 
seen  in  1647,  as  rep.  at  Hartford,  and  prob.  in  a  high  degree  is  it,  that 
he  had  more  s.  and  ds.  Joseph,  Samuel,  Obadiah,  Timothy,  Eliz.  wh.  m. 
at  Windsor  16  Apr.  1663,  Henry  Stiles ;  and  Hannah,  wh.  m.  also  at  W.

Phebe,  m.  11  Dec.  1669,  John  Birdseye,  jr.  of  Stratford,  so  that  it  is 
not  improb.  that  he  had  chos.  W.  for  his  resid.  Yet  he  may  have  early 
rem.  to  Stratford,  where  he  d.  1652.  Some  of  his  descend,  have  sunk 
the  last  syl.  of  the  ancestor's  name.

of  17  yrs.  coming  from  London,  1635,  in  the  Elizabeth.  From  Coffin's 
gatherings  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII.  167,  it  may  be  infer,  that  he  had  s.

Winth.  in  Hist.  I.  322,  tells  a  pleasant  incident  of  his  peaceful  control  of 
the  Ind.  He  had  been  forcibly  dispossess,  some  three  or  four  yrs.  bef. 
of  the  establishm.  at  Penobscot,  by  D'Aulney,  the  French  lieut.-gov.  of

Assist.  1651  to  1664,  and  when  the  Eng.  conq.  N.  Y.  he  accomp.  them,

Aug.  1674.  The  inscript.  on  the  gr.-st.  of  the  wid.  (HIS  ONLY  w.) 
says  she  d.  8  Jan.  1699,  a.  the  65th  yr.  of  her  age,  wh.  proves  how 
errors  may  be  found  in  such  places,  as  she  could  only  be  5  yrs.  old 
when  her  first  ch.  by  Prudden  was  b.  Prob.  the  yr.  of  d.  was  18  yrs. 
earlier.  See  Prudden.  What  could  explain  the  error  of  her  gr.-st.  that 
she  was  the  only  w.  is  difficult  to  conject.  Commonly  we  look  to  such 
muniments  of  history  for  a  different  sort  of  failures  in  truth.  Perhaps 
only  was  error  for  sec.  The  brief  mem.  in  Geneal.  Reg.  II.  376,  cor

d.  of  his  s.  Joseph.  In  1690,  he  was  aged  70,  with  w.  ten  yrs.  older, 
says  Felt.  JOHN,  Boston,  butcher,  may  be  the  testator,  of  whose  will, 
Dec.  1684,  pro.  26  Mar.  foil,  speak,  of  two  ds.  Hannah  (wh.  was  b.  27 
Apr.  1661),  and  Sarah,  wh.  were  m.  to  wh.  only  5s.  ea.  is  the  beq.  gives 
all  est.  to  w.  Mary  to  bring  up  two  younger  ch.  Rachel  and  Martha.  It 
may  be  read  in  Vol.  VI.  492 ;  but  no  other  informat.  is  gain,  of  him, 
exc.  that  in  1673,  he  receives  deeds  of  two  est.  in  B.  JOHN,  Roxbury, 
s.  of  Robert  of  the  same,  b.  prob.  in  Eng.  and  no  doubt  eldest,  d.  6  Oct. 
1658,  as  is  seen  at  the  Prob.  off.  when  admin,  was  giv.  to  his  f.  nine 
days  aft.  It  is  observ.  that  neither  ch.  nor  town  rec.  ment.  him.  nor  did 
the  Fam.  Genealogist,  nor  Ellis,  the  histor.  of  the  place,  express  any 
knowl.  of  ever  hear,  of  such  a  man.  By  the  ch.  rec.  I  find  his  d. 
(unless,  wh.  is  not  wholly  unreasonab.  the  name  be  mistak.  by  the 
abbrev.  for  that  of  his  f.  Robert)  Eliz.  in  full  cornmun.  bef.  the  d.  of 
her  f.  but  wh.  was  her  mo.  is  unkn.  JOHN,  Scituate  1643,  fit  to  bear 
arms,  prob.  s.  of  John  of  the  same,  was  a  capt.  d.  22  June  1694,  aged 
70.  He  serv.  in  Philip's  war,  and  had  command  of  a  com  p.  when  the 
great  Ind.  sachem  was  k.  His  est.  was  good,  but  his  will  of  1691, 
names  no  w.  nor  ch.  and  to  his  relatives,  serv.  and  friends,  gives  freely. 
JOHN,  Boston,  s.  of  the  first  Nathaniel  of  the  same,  m.  1670,  Ann, 
eldest  d.  of  Dr.  John  Alcock  of  Roxbury,  as  in  the  m.  contr.  of  rec. 
Vol.  VI.  241,  may  be  read;  rem.  to  Newport,  but  first  had  at  B.  Mary; 
Ann;  Palsgrave;  Nathaniel;  and  Arabella,  as  from  his  will  of  18  Apr. 
1687  is  found,  in  wh.  provis.  is  made  for  them,  and  ano.  ch.  expected. 
That  instr.  was  pro.  22  June  1688,  before  Francis  Brinley,  Esq.  wh. 
had  by  Andros,  been  constit.  judge  for  that  portion  of  his  dominions ; 
but  it  was  requir.  to  be  rec.  here  in  Boston,  as  in  Vol.  X.  329  appears. 
It  refers  to  br.  Nathaniel,  br.-in-law,  Zechariah  Whitman,  and  made 
excors.  w.  with  s.  Nathaniel  when  he  should  come  of  age.  JOHN,

Jan.  1676.  His  w.  d.  1681,  and  he  m.  1686,  wid.  Esther  Egglestone;

of  Richard  of  Ipswich,  had  Sarah,  b.  18  Aug.  1689.  Other  ch.  he

by  Miss  Caulkins,  liv.  on  Groton  side,  and  m.  a.  1686,  Jane,  wid.  of 
Hugh  Hubbard,  d.  of  Carey  Latham  ;  but  even  her  diligence  could 
learn  no  more  exc.  that  he  d.  3  Dec.  1741,  at  gr.  age,  as  was  his  w. 
and  left  only  s.  Peter.  JOHN,  Deerfield,  s.  of  deac.  Samuel  of  Rox-

Eleazer,  b.  1  July  1688,  H.  C.  1708,  and  if  we  follow  the  very  doubtful 
Fam.  Geneal.  even  an  earlier  s.  Eliakim,  who  d.  young ;  preach,  first  at 
D.  1686,  but  was  not  ord.  bef.  18  Oct.  1688  ;  had  also,  Samuel,  4  Jan.

1711;  Elijah,  13  Nov.  1712;  and  Sarah,  Sept.  1716;  and  he  d.  12 
June  1729.  The  story  of  his  Redeemed  Captive  has  been  .very  much 
read,  in  all  succeed,  times,  and  the  ch.  Stephen  publ.  also,  a  very  agreea 
ble  narrat.  JOSEPH,  Taunton,  s.  of  Richard  of  the  same,  m.  28  Nov.

1673,  tho.  rec.  would  make  the  mo.  to  be  Eliz.  wh.  is,  in  my  opin.  a.  cleri 
cal  blunder,  as  the  foil,  seven  ch.  are  all  count,  for  Lydia ;  that  is  to  say,

him  the  Col.  Rec.  of  Trumbull  tells  no  good,  but  that  he  seems  to  be  d. 
in  1664.  MATTHEW,  Dover,  tax.  there  1657-1668,  was  perhaps  br.  of 
the  first  William  of  the  same.  NATHANIEL,  Boston,  glover,  as  he  grew

that  his  w.  d.  in  1742,  aged  71,  and  he  only  ten  yrs.  older  in  1751. 
Roxbury  rec.  gives  John,  b.  6  June  1706.  RICHARD,  Saco,  d.  in  Oct. 
1636,  engag.  with  Gov.  Cradock,  as  "a  clapboard  cleaver,"  may  be  the 
same  who  had  been  fined  for  drunk,  in  Mass.  Mar.  1634,  tho.  the  same 
Vol.  I.  of  our  Col.  Rec.  shows  the  fine  was  remit,  perhaps  bee.  it  could 
not  be  collect,  four  yrs.  after.  *  RICHARD,  Taunton  1637,  went  from 
Salem,  whither  Baylies  I.  284,  suppos.  he  came,  bee.  his  w.  Frances 
Dighton  was  sis.  of  the  first  w.  of  Capt.  Endicott,  wh.  is  a  sad  error,  as 
it  was  Gov.  Thomas  Dudley's  w.  that  was  meant.  Perhaps  the  histo 
rian  of  Plymouth  was  misled  in  his  assumpt.  of  first  resid.  at  S.  by  ano. 
suppos.  that  he  was  br.  of  Roger ;  but  either  of  these  seem  to  me  very 
improb.  tho.  not  so  wild  as  the  tradit,  that  he  was  a  relat.  of  Oliver 
Cromwell.  He  was  one  of  the  first  purch.  of  the  territ.  from  the  Ind. 
and  was  the  chief  male  inhab.  for  many  yrs.  sprung  from  Glamorgansh. 
and  m.  it  is  said,  by  Emery  I.  44,  in  Gloucestersh.  had  ch.  John,  prob. 
d.  young;  Samuel,  Joseph,  Nathaniel,  bapt,  7  Feb.  1641,  Thomas,  Ben 
jamin,  Eliz.  and  Hannah ;  not  one  has  date  of  b.  nor  is  there  approxima. 
for  any  of  the  eight,  exc.  Eliz.  a.  1647,  prob.  therefore  one  of  the  oldest 
half,  wh.  m.  John  Bird  of  Dorchester ;  Hannah  m.  John  Parmenter  of 
Boston,  as  his  sec.  w.  As  it  is  very  clear,  that  all  these  ch.  were  b. 
long  after  he  sett,  at  T.  I  greatly  distr.  the  tradit.  of  his  very  early  com 
ing  to  our  country,  and  more  the  Gloucestersh.  w.  He  was  rep.  1646, 
8,  50,  and  sev.  later  yrs.  but  the  time  of  his  d.  is  not  found.  Descend,

the  rec.  marg.  of  the  vol.  of  births  be  adjudg.  reasonable,  when  the  ch. 
rec.  of  the  bapt.  of  Phebe,  a.  eight  days  old,  on  3  Sept.  1643,  assigns 
her  to  Robert ;  and  the  same  Robert  had  s.  Benjamin,  tho.  the  ch.  rec.

b.  after,  and  in  the  Hist,  said  to  have  d.  young ;  but  I  doubt  both  the 
authorities,  as  neither  b.  nor  d.  after  long  search  is  found  in  the  rec.  of 
either  town  or  ch.  Still  the  deficiency  of  rec.  is  seen  in  other  respects, 
as  the  will  of  26  Nov.  1685,  names  gr.ch.  Deborah  Totman,  and  Eliz. 
Robinson,  for  wh.  I  find  not  the  mos.  so  that  we  are  uncertain,  whether

whether  he  had  a  third  w.  is  less  certain,  tho.  in  fam.  geneal.  he  is  sup

with  Edward  Goodwin,  lessee  of  Winisemet  ferry,  wh.  may  render  it 
prob.  that  he  was  s.  of  Thomas,  adm.  of  the  ch.  10  Apr.  1642,  freem.

a  br.  of  the  noble  founder  of  Providence,  yet  little  more  is  kn.  of  him, 
but  that  he  was,  ten  yrs.  later,  a  sch.-master  at  Newport.  ROBERT,  Kil- 
lingworth  1667,  was  propound,  to  be  freem.  1669,  had  a  d.  b.  1671,  but 
no  more  is  kn.  of  him.  Ano.  ROBERT  was  of  Oyster  Bay,  L.  I.  1650; 
and  Farmer  MS.  ment.  one  of  N.  H.  as  early  as  1670,  but  he  could  not 
detain  him  there,  certain,  not  long  eno.  for  any  story  of  him  to  reach  us. 
ROBERT,  Boston,  by  w.  Margery,  had  Martha,  b.  7  May  1672  ;  Jona

p.  319  of  the  Geneal.  and  Hist,  of  the  Williams  fam.  ROGER,  Dorches

as  freem.  19  Oct.  of  that  yr.  and  was  sw.  on  18  May  foil.  serv.  on  the

early,  prob.  1636  or  7,  to  Windsor,  there  was  in  good  repu.  had  com 
fort,  est.  serv.  on  the  jury  1642,  3,  and  4,  lost  his  w.  by  d.  10  Dec.  1645. 
He  soon  aft.  1647,  or  in  that  yr.  sold  ho.  and  Id.  and  came  back  to  D. 
m.  1649  or  bef.  Lydia  Bates,  d.  of  the  first  James,  had  Ebenezer,  b. 
Jan.  1650,  in  that  yr.  call.  hims.  of  Boston,  when  he  sold  Id.  in  D.  to 
Thomas  Thaxter ;  but  no  more  is  told  of  him.  §|* ROGER,  Provi 
dence,  the  great  assert,  of  relig.  freedom,  b.  in  Wales  1599,  as  uncert. 
tradit.  says,  and  she  would  make  him,  partly,  at  least,  educ.  at  Oxford, 
where  ano.  Roger,  or  Roderic,  was  adm.  30  Apr.  1624,  wh.  was  s.  of 
William,  and  by  Felt  in  Eccles.  Hist.  I.  147,  receiv.  as  our  N.  E.  re 
former,  wh.  to  me,  seems  nearly  impossib.  But  a  strong  prob.  is,  that 
he  was  not  b.  earlier  than  1605  ;  and  the  fact  is,  he  was  bred  up  at  the 
Charter  Ho.  as  in  mod.  days  the  sch.  is  call,  but  when  W.  was  there, 
Sutton's  Hospital.  On  that  foundat.  he  was  chos.  a  scholar  25  June 
1621,  and  on  9  July  1624,  gain,  an  exhibition  under  powerf.  patronage. 
This  we  learn  from  Mrs.  Anne  Sadler,  d.  of  the  gr.  lawyer,  Sir  Edward 
Coke,  in  a  collection  of  letters,  at  the  library  of  Trinity  Coll.  Cambridge, 
by  Williams,  writ.  a.  1652,  to  her;  she  wrote  on  the  back  of  one  of 
them  (wh.  had  shocked  her  devotion  to  ch.  and  king)  that  her  f.  "  took 
such  liking  to  him,  that  he  put  him  to  Sutton's  Hospitall,  and  he  was  the 
sec.  that  was  placed  there,"  mean,  perhaps  by  his  gr.  patron.  From  this 
favor  of  Coke  arose,  prob.  the  tradit.  that  our  benign,  founder  of  Provi 
dence  had  enjoy,  the  protection  of  the  Lord  Ch.  Justice  of  the  Common 
Pleas,  had  been  support,  at  the  Univ.  of  Oxford,  and  stud,  the  law  for 
a  profession  under  the  great  oracle  of  jurisprudence.  But  from 


568  WILLIAMS. 

Winth.'s  Hist,  we  kn.  he  had  been  a  minister.  The  exhibition  obtain,  in 
the  London  Inat.  9  July  1624,  seems  to  disprove  his  identi.  with  the  stud. 
ent.  at  Jesus  Coll.  Oxford  in  Apr.  preced.  and  my  ignorance  of  the  rules 
and  customs  of  the  Charter  Ho.  forbids  me  to  speak  with  confidence. 
To  write  his  life  and  illustrate  his  charact.  has  long  been  felt  as  a  duty  by 
the  scholars  of  the  beautiful  city  he  found,  and  after  sev.  attempts  more 
may  be  said.  Professor  Elton,  wh.  sev.  yrs.  since,  publish,  his  biogr.  has 
had  means  of  discover,  how  he  had  been  deceiv.  as  to  the  b.  and  educ.  of 
the  amiable  hero ;  and  we  hope  for  ano.  ed.  of  his  vol.  If  at  either  of 
the  Eng.  Univ.  he  was  educ.  wh.  seems  very  uncert.  to  me,  Cambridge  is 
entitl.  to  the  honor,  rather  than  Oxford.  He  came  from  Bristol,  1  Dec. 
1630,  in  the  Lion,  and  reach.  Boston  9  Feb.  foil,  with  w.  Mary;  and  in 
few  wks.  during  wh.  he  was  desir.  to  settle  in  the  ch.  of  Boston,  by 
their  unanimous  choice,  in  the  spring  of  1631,  as  he  tells,  in  a  letter 
(most  characteristic  of  the  writer,  equal  in  value  to  any  one  in  a  thou 
sand  of  our  New  Eng.  epistles)  to  Rev.  John  Cotton  of  Plymouth, 
print,  in  Mass.  Hist.  Transactions  of  the  Soc.  1855  —  8  pp.  313-6,  but 
his  tender  conscience  did  not  dare  to  officiate  to  "  an  unseparated  peo 
ple."  This  statement  of  Williams  I  accept  without  hesitat.  tho.  in  a 
note  on  p.  406  of  Vol.  I.  of  Hist,  of  N.  E.  by  Prof.  Palfrey,  whose  eye 
had  been  blessed  with  the  orig.  MS.  a  doubt  might  have  pass.  thro,  his 
mind  to  extort  the  remark :  "  it  is  very  extraordin.  that  the  fact  is  not 
ment.  in  any  record  of  the  time."  But  no  contempo.  rec.  exc.  that  of 
the  Col.  would  possib.  contain  it,  for  no  other  is  in  exist.  Our  earliest 
rec.  of  Boston  civil  affairs  begins  abrupt,  in  the  middle  of  a  sentence, 
Sept.  1634,  preced.  pages  being  lost,  yet  that  is  four  or  five  yrs.  bef.  we 
have  an  orig.  ecclesiastic,  rec.  of  any  thing  exc.  bapt.  Even  the  name 
of  Williams,  our  gr.  reformer,  is  FIRST  read  in  Col.  Rec.  Sept.  1635, 
being  that  of  his  banishm.  Vol.  I.  160;  as  ea.  of  the  sev.  prior  read, 
of  Roger  Williams  manifest,  refers  to  the  Dorchester  man.  But  quite 
concur,  with  the  sense  and  even  phrase  of  that  let.  to  Cotton  is  the  lang. 
of  Winth.  Hist.  I.  53  in  the  order  of  Court,  recit.  that  he  "  had  refused 
to  join  with  the  congregat.  [i.  e.  church]  at  Boston,  because  they  would 
not  make  a  pub.  declarat.  of  their  repent,  for  hav.  commun.  with  the 
chhs.  of  Eng."  &c.  That  order  was  in  Apr.  1631,  less  than  a  fortnight 
after  Boston  ch.  was  left  without  a  min.  by  Wilson's  depart,  for  home, 
and  two  and  a  half  yrs.  bef.  com.  of  Cotton's  father.  Assuredly  lie  was 
not  likely  to  refuse  before  he  was  asked.  He  next  went  to  be  assoc. 
with  Skelton  at  Salem,  in  teach,  that  congreg.  but  was  more  wanted  at 
Plymouth,  in  the  autumn  of  that  yr.  and  contin.  good  pt.  of  two  yrs.  to 
minister  there ;  hardly  had  he  got  back  to  Salem,  where  the  people 
wish,  him  as  successor  of  Skelton,  bef.  his  overscrupul.  conscience  made

him  and  others  trouble ;  and  in  two  yrs.  the  affections  of  his  people 
could  not  prevent  the  Gen.  Ct.  from  banishm.  of  their  teacher.  He  had 
been  excommun.  at  S.  for  refus.  to  bring  his  ch.  to  bapt.  &c.  In  the 
winter  of  1635-6,  he  meekly  obey,  the  cruel  sentence,  and  next  spring, 
or  more  prob.  in  June,  laid  the  foundat.  of  the  prosperous  city  by  him, 
with  pious  emotion,  call.  Providence.  See  the  opening  chap,  of  Arnold's 
Hist,  of  R.  I.  There  he  was  usually  held  in  much  honor,  tho.  occa 
sional,  overborne  by  antagon.  against  wh.  his  revenge  was  exhaust,  in 
show,  kindness.  He  always  had  the  friendship  of  Gov.  Winth.  tho. 
circumstances,  consist,  with  the  honor  of  both,  enforced  their  long  and 
sad  separat.  As  the  Col.  agent  in  London,  or  chief  Magistr.  here,  he 
was  equal,  discreet  and  disinterest,  to  his  d.  in  Apr.  1683.  Of  his  w.

compact  at  Cape  Cod  in  Nov.  had  no  fam.  and  d.  soon  after  the  land,  as 
Gov.  Bradford  tells.  Ano.  THOMAS,  Plymouth,  not  s.  of  the  preced.  was 
serv.  of  the  wid.  Warren,  in  1635  charg.  with  profane  speech.  THOMAS, 
Boston  1630,  was  call,  to  serve  on  coroner's  jury  18  Sept.  of  that  yr.  so 
that  it  may  be  presum.  that  he  came  in  the  fleet  with  Wirith.  req.  adm.  as

May  foil,  and  the  same  day  allow,  to  set  up  a  ferry  betw.  Winisemet 
and  Charlestown,  and  Winisemet  and  the  younger  town  of  Boston.  As 
nothing  more  is  ever  heard  of  him,  exc.  that  in  1651,  he  hot.  a  ho.  of 
Walter  Merry,  I  suppose  he  must  have  brot.  fam.  from  Eng.  and  his  w. 
d.  early.  Perhaps  he  was  f.  or  br.  of  Robert  of  the  same,  wh.  by  lease 
from  a  Comtee.  of  the  Gen.  Ct.  Sept.  1641,  was  made  partaker  of  the

Nov.  foil,  calls  John  Spoore  his  master.  See  Geneal.  Reg.  III.  180. 
Farmer  mistook  him  for  the  earlier  Thomas  of  Boston.  But  later  by  a 
whole  generat.  may  be  seen  in  the  rec.  of  b.  the  same  puzzle  that  con

of  a  very  common  one  in  the  old  rec.  or  even  print,  books,  of  sinking 
the  final  syllab.  In  the  Memorials  of  Marshfield,  the  fancy  of  the 
writer  borrows  for  this  fictitious  pilgrim  from  two  or  three  later  genera

sec.  w.  of  Mr.  Willis,  and  some  of  his  ch.  b.  by  a  former  one.  Mitchell 
says  his  will,  of  1692,  pro.  1693,  refers  to  the  eight  ch.  of  wh.  Hannah 
was  w.  of  Nathaniel  Hay  ward ;  Eliz.  m.  a  Harvey ;  and  Sarah  was  w. 
of  John  Ames ;  further  he  tells  that  he  had  four  brs.  Jonathan,  Law 
rence,  Nathaniel,  and  Francis,  and  leaves  us  to  regret  that  only  two  of 
them  can  be  well  discern,  thro,  the  distance.  He  was  the  first  rep.  that

of  the  first  deac.  John  of  Bridge  water,  and  liv.  at  B.  when  he  ra.  5 
Sept.  1656,  Mary,  d.  of  Thomas  Makepeace  of  Boston,  but  nothing  is 
ascertain,  with  confidence,  nor  whether  the  freem.  of  Mass.  1669,  were 
the  same  man,  wh.  is  very  prob.  for  the  f.  of  his  w.  in  the  will  made  aft. 
his  rem.  to  Boston,  makes  encourag.  legacy  to  her  in  June  1666. 
MICHAEL,  Dorchester,  freem.  2  May  1638,  by  w.  Joan  had  Joseph, 
bapt.  3  Feb.  1639,  wh.  prob.  liv.  not  long;  rem.  with  Powell  to  Boston, 
there  was  one  of  the  found,  of  sec.  ch.  by  w.  Mildred  had  Michael,  b. 
11  Nov.  1652;  whether  he  had  any  more  bef.  com.  or  any  other  than 
this  one  aft.  I  cannot  learn,  exc.  by  inf.  from  his  will  of  21  June 
1669,  pro.  7  Oct.  foil.  wh.  makes  it  certain  that  he  had  s.  Experience 
bef.  and  some  ds.  m.  how  many,  or  what  their  names  is  not  kn.  beside  d. 
Temperance  wh.  was  bapt.  13  Feb.  1648,  unm.  yet  of  inq.  for  sev. 
gr.ch.  to  wh.  he  gave  legacies  (of  wh.  none  but  Joseph  Phillips  is  call, 
out),  obscure  diligence  may  fail  of  its  reward.  His  w.  to  wh.  he  had 
giv.  power  to  dispose  of  some  of  his  prop.  aft.  her  own  d.  in  her  will 
of  20  Sept.  1680,  increases  the  confus.  in  part,  and  lends  no  clue  to 
other  part,  only  that  one  of  his  ds.  Abigail  was  a.  1658,  sec.  w.  of 
Thomas  Bill.  Other  ds.  are  Lydia  Nowell ;  Joanna  Ellis ;  and  beside 
the  darkness  that  hangs  upon  gr.s.  Michael  and  gr.d.  Marah,  tho.  we 
may  guess  the  former  to  be  s.  of  Experience,  suffic.  trouble  would 
remain  in  the  search  for  "  daur.  Pollard's  childr."  yet  the  diffic.  seems 
inextrica.  when  we  find  that  beyond  the  thick  clouds  wherein  we  would 
hunt  for  the  ds.  of  her  h.  she  scatters  all  hope  of  success,  by  speaking  of 
her  "  five  own  ds."  So  the  only  safe  conclus.  is  that  she  was  a  young 
wid.  with  five  ds.  when  Michael  took  her ;  but  perhaps  the  ds.  m.  that 
he  refers  to  in  his  will,  may  have  been,  some  at  least,  not  his  offspr.  but 
those  of  the  sec.  w.  bef.  their  union.  MICHAEL,  Boston,  s.  of  the 
preced.  by  w.  Eliz.  had  Joseph,  b.  4  Jan.  1680 ;  Abigail,  12  Mar.  1682  ; 
Deliverance,  1  Nov.  1684;  Hannah,  14  June  1688;  and  Michael,  4 
July  1694 ;  was  a  cooper,  went  to  London,  it  is  believ.  and  there  d.  1712. 
NATHANIEL,  Bridgewater,  br.  of  the  first  John  of  the  same,  an  orig. 
propr.  and  perhaps  the  earliest  sch. -master  of  the  town,  had  Elkanah, 
and  Bethia,  and  d.  bef.  1687,  is  all  that  Judge  Mitchell  teaches.  NA

WILLMAN,  ISAAC,  Southampton,  L.  I.  1649.  In  my  opin.  this  is  the

WILMOT,  or  WILMARTH,  or  WILMOUTH,  ALEXANDER,  New  Haven,

rec.  of  8  June  foil,  as  seen  in  IV.  pt.  2d,  p.  500,  when  it  seems  that  he

her  maturity  pay  £50.  tho.  it  demands  more.  Explanat.  may  be  circui-

went  to  the  univ.  of  Cambridge  in  1602,  as  Mather  tells,  much  of  whose 
story  of  his  early  days  has  apocryphal  sound,  there  of  Christ's  Coll.  had 
his  A.  B.  1605-6,  and  A.M.  1609,  as  by  me  in  the  registry  of  the  Univ. 
seen,  tho.  Mather  would  have  it  Emmanuel;  and  Farmer  writes  at  King's, 
where,  indeed,  may,  as  the  Magnalia  tells,  have  been  the  adrn.     Aft. 
serv.  as  chaplain  in   sev.  houses,  he  was  induct,  at  Sudbury  in  the  S. 
border  of  Co.  Suffolk ;  there  contin.  ten  or  twelve  yrs.  but  disgust,  with 
the  worship  of  forms  and  vestments  growing  in  the  ch.  he  encourag.  the 
coloniz.  of  the  Mass.  Bay,  and  came  1630,  with  the   Gov.  and  Comp. 
bring,  the  chart,  in  the  Arbella.     His  w.  Eliz.  whose  name  is  not  dis 
tinct,  read  in  Mather,  tho.  in  his  usual  roundabout  way  he  says,  Magn. 
III.  cap.  3,  p.  42,  that  W.  designed  to  m.  a  d.  "  of  the  lady  Mansfield, 
wid.  of  Sir  John,"  remain,  in  Eng.  prob.  with  care  of  the  ch.  Edmund 
first  b.  (so  nam.  for  his  gr.  uncle  Edmund  Grindall,  the  puritan  arch 
bishop  of  Canterbury  1575-83)  ;  John  ;  and  others,  if  there  were  more  ; 
but  when  he  went  back  to  Eng.  and  came  again  1632,  he  brot.  her  and 
s.  John,  but  the  oldest  s.  perhaps  never  was  on  this  side  of  the  ocean. 
The  w.  was  sis.  of  the  w.  of  Robert  Keayne,  and  her  br.  John  with  his 
fam.  got  over  to  Boston,  two  yrs.  later,  in  poverty ;  and  torment  Keayne 
very  much,  if  his  will  be  good  evid.  as  may,  partly,  be  read  in  Geneal. 
Reg.  VI.  156.     He  made  sec.  voyage  to  Eng.  1634,  and  came  again  in 
the  summer  of  1635,  wh.  led  me  to  mistake,  formerly,  the  time  of  his 
w.'s  coming,  as  she  did  not  join  our  ch.  bef.  20  Mar.  1636;  whereas  we

had  request,  adm.  as  freem.  19  Oct.  1630,  and  was  sw.  3  July  1632,  and 
d.  7  Aug.  1667,  and  was  bur.  on  the  Sunday  foil.  Of  the  good  desert  of 
this  first  min.  of  Boston,  abund.  proof  is  found  in  the  Magn.  III.  cap.  3, 
with  some  few  lamentab.  characteristics  of  the  author,  perhaps  little  to 
be  regard,  in  derog.  from  the  charact.  of  W.  Yet  of  one  trait  in  him, 
the  zeal  for  the  glory  of  God,  as  exhib.  in  "  111  Newes  from  New  Eng." 
where  the  testimony  of  Obadiah  Holmes,  the  Bapt.  confessor,  is  fully 
giv.  we  must  regret  that  it  surpassed  the  limits  of  self-respect,  as  well 
as  common  decency.  H.  tells  aft.  his  sentence  to  imprisonm.  and  cruel 
scourg.  "  as  I  went  from  the  Bar,  I  exprest  myself  in  these  words :  I 
bless  God  I  am  count,  worthy  to  suffer  for  the  name  of  Jesus  ;  where 
upon  John  Wilson  (their  Pastor  as  they  call  him)  strook  me  bef.  the 
judgm.-seat,  and  cursed  me,  saying,  the  curse  of  God  or  Jesus  go  with 
thee."  For  the  imprecation  upon  the  heretic  lenity  may  be  extend,  as 
we  hope,  by  the  final  Judge,  when  he  cometh  in  the  clouds  of  heaven  ; 
but  at  the  tribunal  of  gentlemen  the  assault  on  a  defenceless  prisoner, 
even  tho.  convict,  by  his  own  confess,  of  the  crime  of  preach,  what  he 
thot.  truth,  meets  no  indulgence.  Gratitude  has  always  been  express, 
for  this  found,  of  Boston  ch.  no  doubt  in  some  degr.  arising  from  the 
munific.  contrib.  of  £1,000.  by  his  br.  William  'in  Eng.  and  the  most 
judicious  invest,  of  part  of  that  sum,  as  in  Col.  Rec.  I.  128  alluded  to, 
and  may  by  any  minute  antiquary  be  seen  in  2  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  VIII. 
228,  all  assist,  in  keep,  active  the  generous  emotion.  The  eldest  s.^ 
travel,  in  Holland  and  Italy,  where  he  gain,  the  honor  of  M.  D.  but  as  I 
doubt  whether  he  ever  came  across  the  sea,  I  do  not  inquire  for  much 
detail  as  to  his  m.  or  wh.  was  his  w.  nor  can  I  tell  more  than  that  he  liv. 
at  London  as  a  physician,  d.  a.  1658,  leav.  s.  John,  and  d.  Bridget,  wh. 
m.  Nicholas  Prideaux,  merch.  of  Barbadoes.  His  d.  Mary  m.  5  Nov. 
1651,  Rev.  Samuel  Danforth  of  Roxbury,  and  next  a  Buck  of  Boston 
(whose  bapt.  name  eludes  my  search,  for  many  hours,  at  var.  times),  and 
d.  13  Sept.  1713.  Mather's  life  is,  perhaps,  the  best  of  any  in  his  catal. 
of  min.  yet  the  caution  to  be  used  in  read,  all  other  parts  of  the  Magn. 
must  not  be  neglect,  here.  In  §  19  of  that  3d  chap,  in  proof  of  the 
"  certain  prophetic  afflatus,  wh.  oft.  directs  the  speeches  of"  men  like 
Wilson,  he  refers  to  the  success  of  John  Hull,  as  foretold  by  W.  bee.  of 
his  attention  to  his  mother  "  weak  in  body  and  poor  in  est."  Mather 
had  no  intent,  of  casting  ridicule  upon  prophecy,  for  he  was  giv.  to 
showing  his  ability  in  the  same  way,  but  his  fancy,  as  usual,  outran  his 
judgment;  and  his  memory,  great  as  it  was,  forever  calls  on  invention  to 
come  to  the  aid  of  truth.  Hull's  mo.  Eliz.  wh.  d.  above  16  yrs.  bef.  M. 
was  b.  is  not  to  be  specially  mark,  as  "  poor  in  est."  and  if  the  writer 
meant  Judith  the  sec.  w.  of  his  f.  and  mo.  of  the  young  man's  w.  (as  is

most  prob.)  the  panegyric  is  even  less  necessa. ;  but  indeed  this  sec.  w. 
d.  nine  yrs.  bef.  the  b.  of  the  historian.  More  or  less  accommodat.  of  fact 
to  theory  is  observ.  in  other  authors  than  him  whose  Magnalia  is  the 
monum.  to  delineate  his  character  no  less  than  his  desire,  tho.  prob.  to 
few  it  is  ascrib.  in  equal  extent.  JOHN,  Medfield,  s.  of  the  preced.  b.  in 
Eng.  Sept.  1621,  H.  C.  1642,  had  the  benefit  of  join,  the  ch.  of  his  f.  3 
Mar.  1644,  but  was  not  freem.  until  1647,  ord.  as  collea.  with  Rev. 
Richard  Mather  at  Dorchester  in  1649,  but  contin.  only  two  yrs.  and 
was  then  sett,  at  M.  by  w.  Sarah  had  John,  bapt.  at  Boston,  8  July

WINBOURNE,  or  WENBORN,  JOHN,  Manchester,  a  preacher  1686  and

WINCHESTER,  *  ALEXANDER,  Braintree,  came  over  in  the  train  of

It  appears  id.  208,  that  he  left  childr.  but  their  names  are  not  found, 
exc.  Eliz.  b.  28  Mar.  1640;  and  Hannah,  10  Dec.  1642,  both  at  Brain- 
tree  ;  and  Lydia  at  Rehoboth,  beside  the  first  ment.  Boston  ch.  so  that 
as  his  will  names  no  s.  we  may  believe  that  he  never  had  one.  JOHN, 
Hingham  1636,  came  in  the  Elizabeth  the  yr.  bef.  at  the  age  of  19,  with 
Clement  Bates,  and  therefore  may  be  suppos.  from  Co.  Herts,  was

Sealis  of  Scituate,  had  Mary,  bapt.  1640;  John;  Josiah,  b.  27  Mar. 
bapt.  20  May  1655;  and  Jonathan,  says  Farmer,  wh.  notes  in  MS.  that 
this  last  d.  of  smallpox  at  Roxbury  1679,  refer,  to  ch.  rec.  for  his 
authority;  and  soon  aft.  1650  rein,  to  the  Muddy  riv.  part  of  Boston,  d. 
25  Apr.  1694,  and  in  his  will  of  1691  gave  his  est.  to  the  s.  John  and

quarrel  of  1 645,  fallen  under  fine  for  the  trouble,  wh.  he  and  his  neighb. 
caused,  wh.  was  next  yr.  remit,  on  acco.  of  his  poverty  as  in  Col.  Rec. 
III.  80,  is  read.  *  JOHN,  Brookline,  s.  of  the  preced.  by  two  ws.  Han 
nah,  and  Joanna,  had  six  s.  and  four  ds.  of  wh.  Jackson  gives  the  name 
of  Stephen  only,  b.  Feb.  1686,  was  the  first  rep.  of  the  town,  and  d.

WINCOL,  WIN  CALL,  or  WINKLE,  HUMPHREY,  Cambridge  1634,  was

Felt.  *  JOHN,  Watertown,  s.  of  Thomas  of  the  same,  perhaps  a  passeng. 
aged  13,  in  the  Rebecca  from  London,  1635,  with  Eliz.  52,  wh.  may 
have  been  his  mo.  tho.  more  prob.  his  aunt,  is  by  Bond  mark,  as  a  propr. 
1637,  freem.  1646,  rem.  soon  aft.  to  Kittery,  where  with  many  others  he 
submit.  1652  to  jurisdict.  of  Mass,  and  for  wh.  he  was  rep.  at  Boston 
1653,  4,  and  5,  in  the  sec.  yr.  titled  lieut.  yet  the  yr.  aft.  call,  at  W. 
serg.  and  in  1658  rep.  for  W.  in  1665  was  of  loyalty  suffic.  to  be  made 
a  justice  by  the  royal  commissnrs.  as  of  Newichawanock,  that  includ. 
perhaps  both  sides  of  the  riv.  tho.  his  resid.  was  in  Berwick,  and  faith 
ful  to  Mass,  was  rep.  for  K.  again  1675,  7,  and  8,  and  from  1676-85  in

of  capt.  had  w.  Eliz.  and  d.  22  Oct.  1694,  as  we  may  be  sure,  by  fall,

of  Hammond  to  succeed  him  in  Dec.  of  that  yr.  ROBERT,  Mass,  but 
of  what  town  can  hardly  be  judg.  as  all  that  is  kn.  of  him  is  adm.  as 
freem.  6  May  1635.  THOMAS,  by  Farmer  mark,  of  Salem  1631,  may 
be  the  man  fin.  for  drunk.  4  Mar.  1633.  THOMAS,  Watertown,  a  propr. 
in  1642,  is  therefore  suppos.  by  Bond  to  have  come  over  aft.  his  s.  John,

WINDALL,  THOMAS,  Ipswich  1643,  Felt  —  -  is  the  total  of  Farmer's 
MS.  note ;  but  little  more  worth  having  is  to  be  seen  under  Wendall. 

WINDIAT,  JOHN,  Dover,  sen.  and  jun.  are  introd.  on  the  authority  of 
Farmer  in  MS.  note,  from  rec.  of  Ct.  of  Quarter  sess.  in  1686;  and 
without  daring  to  propose  a  substitute,  I  suggest  that  the  name  may 
have  been  inistak.  for  aft.  sev.  hours'  search,  I  am  unable  to  discov.  it 
in  any  quarter.  But  aft.  a  week's  despair  unexpected.  I  find  solution  of 
Farmer's  puzzle.  Such  is  the  spelling  in  the  Prob.  Rec.  X.  264,  of  the 
will  of  12  Mar.  1684,  with  codic.  1  Dec.  1687,  pro.  23  Mar.  foil.  bef. 
Walter  Barefoot,  whereof  the  excors.  refus.  admin,  was  giv.  to  the  wid. 
5  Apr.  next,  by  Sir  Edmund  Andros,  and  I  kn.  from  infallib.  marks  that 
the  testator  was  WINGATE,  first  ancest.  of  a  much  disting.  fam. 

WINDOW,  RICHARD,  Gloucester  1648,  selectman  in  1654,  had  d. 
Ann  by  w.  Elinor,  wh.  d.  16  May  1658,  and  he  m.  30  Mar.  1659, 
Bridget,  wid.  of  Henry  Travers,  made  his  will  2  May  1665,  and  d.  5 
June  foil,  and  in  Col.  Rec.  IV.  pt.  2,  p.  304,  the  wid.  and  her  s.  obtain, 
relief,  so  far  at  least,  as  to  be  told  by  the  Gen.  Ct.  that  Essex  Ct.  might 
act.  In  his  will  are  ment.  d.  Ann,  Eliz.  Bennet,  call,  d.-in-law,  and 
Sarah  Davis.  His  wid.  wh.  had  childr.  by  former  h.  d.  Oct.  1673  ;  but 
the  settlem.  of  her  est.  next  mo.  leaves  me  in  doubt,  as  did  his,  as  to 
some  relationships  of  either. 

WINDS,  WENDES,  WINES,  or  WYNES,  *  BARNABAS,  or  BARNABY, 
Watertown,  freem.  6  May  1635,  sold  his  Ids.  in  1642  and  4,  and  rem.  to 
Southold,  L.  I.  the  Conn,  jurisdict.  adm.  him  as  freem.  1662,  and 
Barnabas,  jun.  prob.  his  s.  in  1664  to  the  same  privilege;  but  nothing 
more  is  kn.  of  his  fam.  In  the  mutations  of  this  name  from  variety  of 
sound  prob.  it  will  be  seen  to  have  the  increm.  into  Winders ;  but  my 
evid.  can  reach  only  to  Barnabas  the  first,  wh.  was  rep.  1664.  FAINT- 
NOT,  Charlestown  1635,  was  adm.  of  the  ch.  4  Nov.  1643,  as  few  mos. 
later  was  Bridget,  prob.  his  w.  freem.  29  May  1644,  of  wh.  no  ch.  is

then  had  but  one,  "was  drown,  in  the  snow  a.  11  Dec."  of  that  yr.  and 
it  is  seen  that  he  had  Ephraim,  b.  30  May  preced.  may  be  he  wh.  perish.

OLIVER,  from  Bridgetown,  Eng.  Farmer  says,  was  cast  away  at  the  Isle 
of  Shoals  in  1664,  and  gives  such  good  authority  as  Coffin,  for  the  relat. 
A  mistake  in  geogr.  of  this  sort,  is  not  lightly  to  be  imput.  to  the  latter 
of  these  writers,  and  still  less  to  the  former ;  but  it  can  hardly  be  doubt, 
that  he  should  have  writ.  Barbadoes  instead  of  Eng.  for  Bridgetown  is 
the  chief  mart  of  that  island,  and  no  place  of  the  name  is  found  in 
Britain.  It  is  almost  equal  to  that  of  the  writer  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII. 
86,  wh.  would  correct  the  descript.  of  the  bark  Bachelor  from  London, 
of  thirty-five  tons,  giv.  by  Winth.  in  his  Hist.  I.  173,  to  the  bark  in  wh. 
Lion  Gardiner  came,  1635,  when  the  Gov.  as  in  his  orig.  MS.  any  one 
sees,  calls  her  "  a  small  Norsey  bark,"  meaning  a  Norwegian  built,  as  to 
me  it  seemed,  while  by  the  writer  it  is  shown,  that  one  of  the  patentees 
of  Conn.  wh.  fitted  out  this  bark  dwelt  at  Nosely,  Leicestershire,  in  the 
very  centre  of  Eng.  Whether  the  Bachelor  could  float  in  any  of  the 
rivulets  of  the  est.  of  Nosely,  that  may  be  thot.  not  to  be  deeper  than 
three  or  four  inches,  or  in  the  head  waters  of  the  Avon,  or  the  Wei- 
land,  beside  those  of  the  Soar,  and  a  dozen  inferior,  young  tributaries 
of  the  Trent,  springing  in  Leicestershire,  that  may  be  half  as  many 
feet  in  depth,  was  not  perhaps  seriously  consid.  by  the  author.  No 
doubt  they  would  serve  for  sailing  to  playthings  of  children.  Farmer

me  abundant  in  this  mislead.  Full  as  oft.  may  the  wrong  be  prov.  as 
the  right,  if  the  rec.  faithful,  copied  (as  I  have  the  best  testimony  other

made  for  Geneal.  Reg.  VI.  335-8,  wherein  the  scribe  fell  into  mistake

wich,  Co.  Worcester,  18,  bapt.  20  Oct.  1594,  as  Belknap,  Am.  Biogr.  II.

him,  has  a  list  of  the  ch.  of  his  f.  in  wh.  all  the  dates  of  bapt.  purport 
to  be  insert,  makes  it  1595,  yet  my  suspicion  of  a  slight  error  was  raised 
when  observ.  that  20  Oct.  was  Sunday  in  the  earlier  yr.  and  Monday 
in  the  foil.  Baylies,  II.  17,  holds  to  the  former  yr.  and  the  careful 


WINSLOW.  599 

authority  of  Dr.  Young  in  his  notes  on  Chron.  of  the  Pilgr.  46,  counts 
the  same,  tho.  274  he  adopts  the  later  yr.  on  the  faith  of  "  extr.  from  the 
rec.  of  St.  Peter's  ch.  in  that  place"  as  foil.  1595,  Oct.  20,  bapt. 
Edward,  s.  of  Edward  Winslow,  b.  the  previous  Friday,  adding  wh. 
was  the  19th.  Whose  blunder  this  was,  is  immater.  Friday  bef.  20 
Oct.  1595  was  the  17th.  But  for  the  yr.  it  might  seem  more  desirab. 
that  should  be  mark,  than  the  day,  and  perhaps,  tho.  not  prob.  it  may  be 
as  the  informant  of  Dr.  Young  gave  it,  mak.  the  m.  of  his  parents  Nov. 
1594.  On  the  first  sight  of  this  bible,  pasted  to  its  left  hand  cover  is 
found  the  traditionary  story  of  what  is  call.  "  Family  Record,"  as  in 
Gen.  Rec.  IV.  298,  the  mind  instantly  rejects  the  right  to  such  honor, 
inasmuch  as  the  whole  rec.  was  evident,  made  at  once,  tho.  entries  for 
eleven  yrs.  1595-1606,  purport  to  be  expressed;  and  secondly,  the 
handwriting  is  manifestly  of  four  generations  later  than  the  Govnr's. 
father  (who  only  ought  to  have  made  such  rec.)  could  have  written  it ; 
and  furthermore  the  age  of  the  vol.  (tho.  early  part  of  the  old  Test,  is 
lost,  and  the  latter  part  of  the  new)  is  apparent,  to  a  practised  eye,  at 
least  one  hundred  and  forty  yrs.  later  than  the  first  child's  b.  No  great 
value  attaches  to  such  MS.  and  it  has  been,  in  more  than  three  or  four 
places,  correct,  by  erasures  and  interim,  prob.  from  presum.  transcripts 
of  the  Eng.  parish  rec.  But  modern  tradit.  gives  a  glorious  myth  to 
this  bible,  that  may  be  really  of  the  time  of  George  I.  tho.  to  me  it 
seems  more  likely  an  imprint  under  George  II.  as  if  it  were  in  the  May 
flower,  brot.  by  Edward  in  his  first  voyage,  at  least  a  century  bef.  the 
paper  was  made.  He  had  fallen  into  comp.  on  a  tour  in  Holland,  a. 
1617,  with  the  band  of  puritans  at  Ley  den,  and  was  led  to  join  them,

CONTIN.    THE    GOVERNM.    IN    SUBORDIN.  TO    THE  COMP.  HERE,  AS   NOW 

IT  is,"  the  vote  of  the  whole  body  of  the  Corpo.  on  29  Aug.  aft.  at 
London  was  adopt.  On  20  Oct.  Cradock  and  the  other  officers  under 
the  chart,  resign,  and  "  upon  serious  deliberat."  in  the  nominat.  of  Win- 
throp,  Saltonstall,  Johnson,  and  Humfrey  for  Gov.  "the  said  Mr.  W. 
was,  with  a  gen.  vote  and  full  cons,  of  this  Ct.  by  erect,  of  hds.  chos.  to 
be  Gov.  for  the  ensuing  yr.  to  begin  on  this  present  day;"  and  the  rec. 
goes  on  to  finish  the  sentence,  "  wh.  was  pleas,  to  accept  thereof,  and 
thereupon  took  the  o.  to  that  place  appertain."  At  the  same  time  were 
chos.  dep.-gov.  and  eighteen  Assist.  See  Mass.  Col.  Rec.  I.  49-60.

intermed.  ones,  Winth.  presid.  and  this  was  held  on  board  the  Arbella, 
23  Mar.  1629-30,  at  Southampton;  but  the  same  vol.  in  the  very  next 
sentence  shows  that  the  FIRST  meet,  or  "  Court  of  Assist,  was  holden  23 
Aug.  1630  at  Charlton,"  no  doubt  in  the  "great  house;"  and  it  is 
equal,  clear  that  the  same  man  is  there  act.  as  Gov.  So  precisely,  in 
the  next  foil,  forty  sessions  of  Assist,  of  Gen.  Ct.  Winth.  sat,  by  annual 
choice,  as  Gov.  until  the  elect,  in  1634,  of  Thomas  Dudley.  He,  of 
course,  was  the  next  Gov.  of  Mass.  Col.  aft.  Cradock,  wh.  never  came 
over;  and,  therefore,  W.  was  the  earliest  Charter  Gov.  here.  Very 
strange  might  seem  the  error  of  the  Hist,  of  Boston,  by  Mr.  Drake,  so 
valuab.  for  its  many  marks  of  industry,  p.  94,  in  mak.  the  elect,  of  W.

ninety-eight  yrs.  bef.  of  the  mistake  of  capt.  Johnson  in  this  very  point. 
See  Hale's  ed.  of  Prince,  314.  This  error  our  Hist,  of  Boston  would 
sanctify,  without  consider,  first,  that  the  Arbella  was  this  day  prob.  half

must,  by  chart,  be  made  on  the  last  Wednesday  of  Easter  term,  whereas 
this  was  almost  the  last  Monday  of  Trinity  ;  or,  final,  and  especial,  that 
this  was  not  a  court  of  elections  at  all,  but  a  Court  of  Assist,  the  rec. 
being  plain  eno.  It  ought,  however,  in  part,  to  excuse  this  blunder,  to 
be  noted,  that  this  section  of  Mr.  Drake's  Hist,  was  issued  in  Jan.  1853, 
and  the  first  vol.  of  Col.  rec.  (tho.  accessib.  bef.  in  MS.  to  everybody) 
came  from  the  press  in  the  latter  part  of  the  same  yr.  In  1630  there 
was  no  election,  both  people  and  governm.  being  upon  the  ocean,  in  the

it  had  been  much  tried  in  the  intrigues  for  so  small  matter  as  to  draw 
him  from  Hartford,  aft.  he  had  twice  been  made  head  of  the  Col.  to  the 
humbler  jurisdict.  of  New  Haven;  as  is  seen  by  Davenport's  curious

Wadsworth  having  been  provid.  for  at  m.  Francis  Jackson,  Esq.  in 
addit.  to  very  many  other  favors,  gave  me  a  copy.  *  JOHN,  Dorchester,

few  yrs.  aft.  his  coming  again,  rem.  to  Boston,  was  an  ironmonger,  and 
gen.  trader,  made  rul.  elder  at  the  first  ch.  and  d.  16  Aug.  1687,  aged 
85  or  6  yrs.  From  the  numb,  and  dates  of  many  of  his  ch.  I  feel  contid.

most  patient  investigat.  Mr.  Clapp  is  sure  only  of  portion  of  these,  as

Very  slight  acco.  is  seen  of  any  of  this  fam.  Perhaps  George  and

Other  est.  he  had  of  large  extent  on  our  side  of  the  water  in  Windsor 
and  Wethersfield  ;  and  he  was  very  dilig.  in  the  cultivation.  Great 
sales  of  fruit-trees  thro,  much  of  the  region  betw.  Fairfield  on  the 
Sound  and  Springfield  on  the  bank  of  the  Conn,  are  spoken  of;  and 
Josselyn,  wh.  went  home  in  the  same  ship  when  W.  visit,  his  native  Id. 
in  1671,  relates,  that  W.  inform,  him  that  he  made  500  hogsheads  of 
cider  from  his  orchard  in  a  yr.  What  allowance  for  Josselyn's  ciphers 
should  be  made  may  be  guessed  from  his  enumera.  of  the  dwelling- 
houses  in  Boston,  on  his  earlier  visit,  wh.  Drake,  in  Hist.  244.  fails  to 
explain.  HENRY,  Windsor,  eldest  s.  of  the  preced.  m.  12  Oct.  1664,

Winth.  fam.  the  choice  of  f.  s.  and  gr.s.  in  early  days  to  the  office  of 
Gov.  by  popular  vote  is  observ.  so  in  later  generat.  the  Conn,  steady 
habits  made  Roger  and  his  s.  Oliver  and  gr.s.  Oliver  their  ch.  rulers. 
Twelve  of  this  name  had  been  gr.  at  Yale,  two  at  Harv.  and  two  at 
other  N.  E.  coll.  in  1834,  as  is  noted  by  Farmer  in  MS. 

WOLFALL,    Or    WOOLFALL,     RlCHARD,    Boston     1677,    of  wh.    I    see 

nothing  but  that  he  is  nam.  in  the  will  of  the  first  Thomas  Oliver,  1653, 
as  hav.  m.  a  d.  of  the  testator,  then  liv.  at  Muddy  riv.  now  Brook- 
line. 

WOLFE,  or  WOOLFE,  EDWARD,  Lyme  1671.  PETER,  Salem,  freem. 
14  May  1634,  was  so  much  of  a  milit.  spirit,  as  hardly  to  fail  of  being 
chos.  lieut.  in  1646,  yet  in  3  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  VII.  256,  with  w.  Mar 
tha,  was  one  of  the  founders  of  ch.  in  Beverly  1667,  and  d.  6  Dec. 
1675.  One  Susanna  W.  with  sev.  others,  was  order,  to  be  releas.  from 
prison  in  1683,  but  on  what  grounds  they  had  been  arrest.  I  see  not  in 
Vol.  V.  of  our  Col.  rec. 

WOLLASTON,  the  capt.  wh.  form,  a  tempora.  settlem.  1625,  wh.  aft. 
short  time  he  abandon,  and  went  to  Virg.  might  hardly  seem  to  deserve 
a  place  in  this  work,  were  it  not  for  the  possibil.  that  a  passeng.  of  the 
Planter,  from  London,  ten  yrs.  later,  call.  Mary  Wolhouston,  aged  30, 
may  have  been  seek,  the  long  abs.  h.  when  she  came  to  Boston ;  tho. 
more  prob.  is  it  that  she  wras  w.  of  a  Mr.  W.  wh.  is  nam.  in  an  act  of 
the  Ct.  Sept.  1641,  impos.  fine  of  £13.  6s.  Sd.  perhaps  the  same  as 
JOSIAII  that  I  find  a  merch.  of  Boston  in  1666.  Very  obscure,  how 
ever,  is  the  evid.  for  either  suppos.  Lewis  claims  one  W.  for  Lynn 
1637,  but  says  he  rem.  to  Sandwich. 

WOLLEY,  ROBERT,  Southampton,  L.  I.  one  of  those  wh.  in  Aug. 
1673,  made  representa.  of  their  case  to  the  inhabs.  of  the  Unit.  Colonies 
of  N.  E.  as  to  the  policy  of  their  submit,  to  the  Dutch,  wh.  had  conquer. 
New  York.  See  3  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  X.  86-88.  Perhaps  the  name 
might  as  well  be  read  Walley. 

WOLSEY,  GEORGE,  is,  by  Mr.  Felt,  seen  with  his  w.  1653,  in  some 
part  of  the  land  ;  but  I  can  trace  them  no  later. 

WOLTEN,  JOHN,  Piscataqua,  said  to  have  come  from  Plymouth,  Eng. 
a.  1633,  arid  resid.  twenty -one  yrs.  when,  strange  as  it  reads,  our  Gen. 
Ct.  in  1654,  order,  him  to  go  home  tc  his  w.  Farmer,  MS.  says  he  was 
tak.  on  his  passage,  by  the  Dutch,  wh.  kept  all  his  prop,  but  set  him  on

WOOD,  or  WOODS,  ARIEL,  Middleborough,  s.  of  Henry,  m.  1683, 
Abiah  Bowen,  had  Elnathan,  b.  14  Apr.  1686  ;  Abiah,  20  Feb.  1689  ; 
Abiel,  19  Mar.  1691  ;  Timothy,  13  Oct.  1693  ;  Jerusha,  11  Nov.  1695  ; 
Ebenezer,  4  Aug.  1697;  Judah,  28  July  1700;  and  Thomas,  30  Jan. 
1703.  With  his  w.  he  was  among  the  found,  of  the  first  ch.  at  M. 
1694;  and  d.  10  Oct.  1719;  and  his  wid.  d.  21  May  1746,  aged  83. 
ABRAHAM,  Concord,  s.  perhaps  eldest  of  Michael  of  the  same,  was 
freem.  1690.  ANTHONY,  Ipswich  1665,  m.  1  June  1666,  Mary  Grover, 
perhaps  d.  of  Edmund  of  Salem,  had  William,  b.  20  Mar.  1667.  CON 
SIDER,  New  London,  by  Miss  Caulkins  is  mark,  as  hav.  a  gr.  of  Id. 
1648,  but  forfeit,  for  non-resid.  CONSTANT,  a  passeng.  aged  12  yrs.  in 
the  Abigail  from  London,  1635,  and  there  might  seem  some  grounds  for 
suspect,  that  he  was  the  same  as  preced.  DANIEL,  Ipswich  1643,  d. 
1648.  DANIEL,  Rowley,  rem.  to  Boxford,  freem.  sw.  22  Mar.  1690,

David,  b.  1670  ;  Daniel;  John;  and  others,  as  Barry  says.  EDMUND, 
Springfield  1636,  rem.  to  Wethersfield  that  yr.  thence  to  Stamford  1641,

and  he  d.  27  Nov.  foil.  In  Geneal.  Reg.  III.  81,  the  date  of  inv.  would 
perhaps  appear  4  Dec.  aft.  Farmer  was  led  to  mistake  the  name  of  the 
Springfield  Edmund  for  Edward,  and  so  to  think  he  might  be  s.  of  this 
man.  An  EDWARD  of  Boston,  mariner  in  1659,  had  w.  Eliz.  and  no

ELLICE,  or  ELLIS,  Dedham,  by  w.  Catharine  had  Mehitable,  b.  17  June

many  yrs.  and  d.  19  Oct.  1706,  aged  73.  The  ludicrous  solemnity  of

Samuel,  b.  25  May  1647;  went  back  to  P.  there  had  John,  1649; 
Jonathan,  1  Jan.  1650;  David,  17  Oct.  1651 ;  Isaac,  1654;  and  Abiel; 
and  perhaps  more  ch.  d.  at  Middleborough ;  but  the  time  of  his  d.  is  not 
seen,  bee.  the  inv.  ment.  in  Geneal.  Eeg.  VII.  235  is  defic.  in  date. 
His  d.  Sarah  m.  28  Nov.  1667,  John  Nelson.  HENRY,  Concord,  by  w. 
Ellen  had  John,  b.  17  Nov.  1651;  Mary,  7  Sept.  1653;  Hannah,  11 
Mar.  1656;  and  Milicent,  4  Apr.  1660.  Usually  his  name  is  Woods; 
and  I  presume  he  rem.  to  Groton,  was  quarter-master  of  the  troop  of 
W.  Middlesex  cavalry  in  1671.  HENRY,  Newport,  by  w.  Hannah  had 
Henry,  b.  24  Nov.  1670;  Abigail,  15  Aug.  1672  ;  James,  9  Nov.  1674; 
Hannah,  25  Sept.  1677;  Richard,  28  Oct.  1679;  and  Eliz.  9  Jan.  1682. 
It  ought  to  be  add.  that  the  rec.  spells  this  name  as  Whod,  and  possib. 
that  may  mean  Hood.  ISAAC,  Marlborough,  s.  of  John  of  Sudbury,  of 
wh.  from  Barry  I  learn,  that  by  two  ws.  he  had  Isaac,  Joseph,  Charles, 
Solomon,  Dinah,  Mary,  and  Eliz.  and  that  his  will  was  pro.  17  Aug. 
1720.  Sewall's  Diary,  as  giv.  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VI.  72,  says  under  1685, 
July  4,  "  Isaac  W.  dies  suddenly."  Perhaps  this  was  some  young  man, 
fellow-worship,  with  S.  but  my  knowledge  is  limit,  by  him.  ISAIAH, 
Ipswich  1668,  then  said  to  be  41  yrs.  old,  m.  26  Jan.  1653,  Mercy,  d.  of

garrison  of  serg.  Wood,  prob.  his  f.  in  1675,  freem.  1690,  had  w.  Hope- 
still.  JEREMIAH,  Stamford  1641,  went  to  Hempstead,  L.  I.  perhaps 
was  br.  of  Edmund,  or  William,  or  of  both.  JOHN,  Saybrook,  employ, 
by  the  younger  John  Winth.  was  k.  by  the  Pequots,  as  appears  in  Conn. 
Col.  Rec.  L  29,  prob.  in  1637.  JOHN,  Sudbury,  pinmaker,  wh.  seems 
an  odd  trade  for  a  wilderness  pioneer ;  by  w.  Mary  had  John,  b.  8  May 
1641;  perhaps  Francis,  1645;  James,  18  July  1647;  Catharine;  Isaac, 
14  July  1655 ;  beside  Hannah,  prob.  the  oldest  ch.  wh.  m.  7  June  1665, 
John  Leavins  of  Roxbury,  and  d.  early,  leav.  Hannah  nam.  in  the  will 
of  her  gr.f.  He  d.  10  July  1678,  and  his  wid.  d.  1690,  aged  80,  says 
Barry.  In  Oct.  1675  he  was,  I  suppose,  the  serg.  in  one  of  the  Marlbo 
rough  garrison  houses,  as  John,  James,  and  Isaac,  his  s.  were  there  also.

the  same  perversity  of  spelling  the  name,  Whod,  leaves  uncertain  what 
to  call  it,  by  w.  Amy  had  Martha,  b.  2  May  1676.  WILLIAM,  the  valu. 
author  of  New  England's  Prospect,  London  1634,  may  well  be  thot.  that 
freem.  of  18  May  1631  ;  but  more  prob.  is  it,  that  he  was  sett,  at  Lynn, 
as  early  as  1630,  as  claim,  by  Lewis.  He  prob.  came  to  Salem,  1629, 
and  15  Aug.  1633  left  our  country,  as  his  book  relates.  That  was  print. 
1634,  and  it  is  conject.  by  Shattuck,  wh.  would  magnify  the  honor  of 
Concord  by  so  respectab.  a  citizen,  that  he  came  again  to  our  side  of  the 
water,  and  d.  at  C.  aft.  many  yrs.  resid.  14  May  1671,  aged  86.  For  a 
William  this  is  well  vouch.  Lewis  has  better  appear,  of  proof  in  p.  84, 
of  his  sec.  Ed.  quot.  Wood's  words  of  minute  descript.  of  Lynn  river  ; 
beside  wh.  the  fact  of  one  of  this  name  being  rep.  at  the  Gen.  Ct.  Mar. 
1636,  when  he  was  chos.  either  for  Salem  or  Lynn,  bef.  any  one  came 
from  C.  with  the  resid.  at  Sandwich  1643,  so  large  a  proport.  of  the  first 
inhab.  of  S.  having  gone  from  L.  are  no  slight  object,  to  the  hopes  of 
Shattuck.  Still  the  fame  of  Bulkley  may  have  drawn  him  from  S. 
where  we  never  hear  of  him  more.  One  Miriam  whose  f.  we  kn.  not, 
was  b.  8  May  1648,  bur.  next  day;  and  Mary  was  b.  29  Mar.  1649, 
both  at  S.  One  WILLIAM  came,  1635,  in  the  Hopewell,  Capt.  Babb,  a 
husbandman,  aged  27,  with  Eliz.  24,  wh.  may  have  been  his  sis.  or  w. 
and  John,  26,  bef.  merit,  prob.  his  br.  and  it  is  clear,  that  if  this  be  the 
author  (wh.  I  neither  affirm  nor  deny),  two  points  decide  against  the 
Concord  claim  to  him;  for  at  C.  w.  of  William  d.  1  Sept.  1659,  was 
call.  Margaret;  and  the  passeng.  in  the  autumn  of  1635  on  the  Hope- 
well,  must  have  been  b.  1608,  while  Shatttick's  client  could  not  have 
come  into  our  world  aft.  1585  ;  or,  if  his  faculties  were  not  weaken, 
when  he  made  his  will,  15  Sept.  1670,  reckon,  hims.  as  88  yrs.  old,  still 
earlier  was  his  advent.  At  C.  no  ch.  was  b.  to  him ;  but  he  had  ch. 
perhaps  all,  certain  most.  b.  in  En.g.  Michael ;  Ruth,  wh.  m.  Thomas 
Wheeler;  and  Abigail,  wh.  m.  24  Mar.  1667,  Stephen  liosmer.  The

s.  of  Rev.  John  of  Stanton,  near  Highworth,  Co.  Wilts,  where  he  was  b. 
1622.     Strangely  confus.  is  an  acco.  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VI.  279,  that  he 
was  brot.  by  his  br.  on  his  return  from  Eng.  1663,  aft.  wh.  he  "became 
one   of  the  first  gr.  of  Harv."     He  had,  if  we  receive  the  acco.  that 
Mather  gives,  Magnalia,  III.  219,  been  tak.  by  that  br.  wh.  had  gone 
back  to  Eng.  in  1637,  on  receiv.  news  of  d.  of  his  f.  but  I  see  no  small 
reason  to  doubt  the  narrative  in  the  Eccles.  Hist.     Yet  it  is  more  con 
sistent  with  itself  than  the  Geneal.  Reg.  story.     He  went  home,  soon 
aft.  grad.  and  obtain,  a  living  in  his  native  Co.  perhaps  at  Salisbury,  into 
wh.  he  was  induct.  16  Nov.  1648  ;  and  honor,  at  Oxford  with  degree  of 
S.  T.  D.  the  same  yr.     He  next  succeed,  famous  Dr.  Twiss  at  Newbury 
in  the  adjoin,  shire  of  Berks,  and  in  1662  was  eject,  from  office,  and  d. 
1  Nov.  1684,  at  Englefield,  in  the  same  Co.     His  verses  on  our  John 
Cotton,  purport,  to  be  inscript.  on  gr.-st.  are  in  the  Magnalia,  III.  31. 
But  in  Allen's  Biogr.  Diet,  the  ingenious  lines  are  ascrib.  to  his  neph. 
and  his  opinion  should  have  weight,  yet  it  may  be  that  either  of  us 
follow,  no  course  of  inquiry  to  ascertain,  which  Benjamin  has  the  best 
claim.     BENJAMIN,  Medford,   s.  of  Rev.  John  of  Andover,  b.  in  Eng. 
whither  his  f.  had  gone  a.  1647,  and  was  prob.  brot.  by  him,  when  he 
came  back  in  1663,  m.  3  June  1672,  Mary,  d.  of  Rev.  John  Ward  of 
Haverhill,  wh.  d.  11  Oct.  168*0,     By  her  prob.  was  b.  only  ch.  Benja 
min,  that  had  been  heard  of  by  Farmer,  as  in  his  MS.  notes  to  his  Reg. 
is  told.     But  in  the  "  Ancestry  of  the  Jones  Earn."  of  Geneal.  Reg.  VI. 
besides  this  s.  he  is  enrich,  with  Dudley!^  of  Barbadoes,  and  Rev.  Samuel 
of  E.  Hartford,  H.  C.  1701.     That  article  contains  too  many  errors  to 
entitle  it  to  the  confidence  desirable,  among  others  one  suspic.  point  is, 
that  this  s.  was  b.  1683,  some  yrs.  aft.  the  d.  of  his  w.     He  preach, 
some  yrs.  at  Bristol,  and  aft.  at  Kittery  1688,  arid  was  resid.  1694  at 
Newcastle,  N.  H.  but  at  last  sat  down  17  June  1702  at  M.  says  Farmer 
in  MS.  and  there  d.  15  Jan.  1710.     I  wish  the  fair  author  of  that  Jones 
Geneal.  could  teach  us,  wh.  are  the  two_Dud\ey  Woodbridges,  for  only 
one  should  be  ascrib.  to  Benjamin,  in  our  Coll.  Cat.  1694  and  1696. 
I*  JOHN,  Newbury,  s.  of  Rev.  John  of  Stanton  in  the  N.  E.  part  of  Wiltsh. 
b.  1613.  had  been  bred  at  Oxford,  Mather  says,  but  on  the  requirem.  of 
the  o.  of  uniformity,  he  left  the  Univers.  for  "  a  course  of  more  private 
studies,"  and  was  brot.  by  his  uncle,  Rev.  Thomas  Parker,  whose  living 
was  at  Newbury  in  the  neighborhood,  in  comp.  with  his  cous.  Rev. 
James  Noyes,  1634,  in  the  Mary  and  John,  was  one  of  the  first  planters 
of  our  Newbury,  but  he  seems  to  have  little  tendency  to  preach,  as  in 
1637,  the  yr.  when  his  f.  d.  in  Eng.  (for  by  the  Registry  of  the  Diocese 
I  obs.  that  a  successor  was  then  appoint,  to  the  vacancy)  he  was  made 


632  WOODBRIDGE. 

"  surveyor  of  the  arms,"  and  rep.  to  the  Gen.  Ct.     He  not  long  aft. 
taught  a  sch.  in  Boston,  when  Portmort  had  gone,  in  the  religious  schism, 
to  Exeter,  and  he  is  even  claim,  as  a  mem.  of  ar.  co.  1 G44,  and  m.  a. 
1639,  Mercy,  d.  of  Gov.  Thomas  Dudley,  and  was  liv.  at  N.  when  his 
f.-in-law,  in  Nov.  1642,  stir,  him  up  to  seek,  advancem.  as  a  min.  and  on 
24  Oct.  1645  he  was  ord.  not  16  Sept.  1644,  wh.  is  Mather's  date  (more 
than  a  yr.  bef.  the  ch.  was  gather.),  as  first  min.  at  the  "new  town  of 
Andover.     More   trustworthy,  however,  is  the  tale,  that  he   went,   in 
1 647,  "  on  the  invitat.  of  his  friends  "  to  Eng.  once  more,  exc.  in  this  last 
circumstance ;  tho.  why  friends  should  withdraw  him,  in  less  than  two 
yrs.  from  his  first  settlem.  in  the  pulpit  here,  is  not  easi.  explain.     Six 
teen  yrs.  he  contin.  in  Eng.  first  having  employ,  in  the  serv.  of  the  able 
men  of  that  Parliam.  cornmiss.  for  treating  with  the  king  in  his  prison 
at  the  Isle  of  Wight  bef.  the  overthrow  of  Parliam.  authority  by  the 
soldiers  wh.  adopt,  the  more  summary  mode  of  negotiat.  for  remodel, 
the  old  constitution  of  their  country.     Here,  prob.  he  was  fix.  in  the 
presbyter,  views  of  ch.  governm.  in  opposit.  to  the  levellers  and  Crom- 
wellians,  and  was  employ,  aft.  as  min.  at  Andover,  in  Hampsh.  and  a 
less  import,   parish  in  Wilts,  finally  at  a  sch.   in    Newbury,   whence, 
Mather  says,  the  Bartholomew  Act  exclud.  him.     In  1663,  July  27,  he 
reach.  Boston  in  the  ship  Society,  and  in  two  yrs.  was  engag.  as  assist, 
in  the  min.  of  his  uncle  Parker./  In  this  honorable  duty,  aft.  two  or

Aft.  retiring  from  the  ministry,  the   notice  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VI.  279, 
proceeds,  "  he  was  immediately  chos.  into  the  magistr."  but  it  was  not 
until  1 683,  and  Mather  left  him  out  of  the  Counc.  in  his  new  chart,  of 
1691,  as  prob.  too   old.     His  w.  d.  1  July  1691,  and  he  d.  17  Mar.

author  of  the  memoir  indicates  "  Rev.  John  W.  a  follower  of  Wickliffe, 
b.  not  far  from  1492.  His  s.  John  braved  the  dangers  of  the  same  pro 
fession  and  faith,  as  also  did  John  the  third,  John  the  fourth,  and  John 
the  fifth,  in  regular  succession.  The  last  named  was  the  much  esteemed 
pastor  of  a  puritan  ch.  in  Stanton,  Wilts."  Now  the  same  faith  may 
have  been  enjoy,  in  private  by  the  first,  sec.  third,  fourth,  and  fifth  John ; 
but  I  shall  doubt  the  profession  was  not  public,  until  some  account  be

Warren  of  Boston  ;  and  Goodwin,  349,  wh.  is  wrong  in  call,  her  sec.  w.

be  gather,  but  she  tells  of  his  d.  30  Apr.  1732.  Farmer  counts,  in

as  if  he  had  been  progen.  of  the  fam.  not  sparsely  scatter,  in  our  coun 
try  ;  but  I  can  hardly  think  so  ill  of  the  spell  in  the  Magn.  for  Mather 
must  oft.  have  seen  him,  and  prob.  writ,  letters  to  and  rec.  from  him. 
Hull,  in  his  Diary,  furnishes  the  desira.  informat.  that  he  arr.  at  Boston 
from  Jamaica,  29  Dec.  1674  ;  and  he  must  have  found  it  no  easy  matter 
to  obt.  em  ploy  m.  nor  can  I  trace  him  again,  exc.  in  the  gr.  ordina.  of 
Rev.  Daniel  Gookin  at  Sherburne,  26  Mar.  1685,  when  Woodrop  assist. 
Both  Hull  and  Sewall  give  the  spelling  I  have  substitut.  for  Farmer's, 
and  my  only  further  fact  to  be  told  is,  that  he  sail,  for  Eng.  12  July 
1687,  no  doubt  to  take  advantage  of  King  James's  newborn  or  pretend, 
favor  to  dissent.  He  left  no  descend,  here,  prob.  had  no  w. 

WOODROW,  may  be  an  independ.  name,  but  as  some  of  the  "Wood 
ruffs  have  this  form  of  spell.  I  have  chosen  to  combine  the  two. 

WOODRUFF,  WOODROW,  WOODROFFE,  or  WOODROOFE,  BENJAMIN, 
Salem  1660-78,  may  have  been  br.  of  Joseph.  JOHN,  Southampton,

23  Apr.  1682;  and  Abigail,  8,  bapt.  30  Mar.  1684.  Lambert  places  him 
at  Milford  1685,  but  prob.  without,  good  reason.  He  was  propound,  for 
freem.  as  early  as  1663.  JOSEPH,  Salem,  may  have  been  the  name  of 
him  wh.  m.  Rebecca,  d.  of  the  wid.  of  William  Canterbury,  and  had

1675;  and  he  d.  Oct.  1685,  says  Farmer,  trust,  the  town  rec.  wh.  I 
distr.  because  it  ment.  not  the  day  of  d.  contains  not  a  single  name  of  the 
childr.  and  the  ch.  rec.  of  bur.  or  d.  is  10  Sept.  evidently  nearer  to  a  con- 
tempo,  authority.  WILLIAM,  Dedham,  perhaps  s.  of  Peter  the  first,  was 
a  "min.  of  the  gosp."  d.  at  D.  26  June  1669,  as  by  the  Roxbury  ch. 
rec.  is  told,  and  the  Diary  of  John  Hull  calls  him  "  a  young  but  power 
ful  preach."  Of  this  name  Farmer  notes,  that  in  1834,  twenty-one  had 
been  gr.  at  N.  E.  coll.  of  wh.  I  count  ten  at  Dartm.  five  at  Yale,  four 
at  Harv. 

WOODWELL,  JOHN,  Salem,  wh.  admin.  7  July  1701,  on  est.  of  his 
br.  JOSHUA,  was  s.  of  MATTHEAV,  a  seaman,  in  1661,  when  ment.  of 
him  is  first  seen,  but  later  is  call,  brickmaker,  in  1671  had  w.  Mary,

Samuel,  John,  Matthew,  Joshua,  Mary,  Margaret,  Eliz.  and  Dorcas. 
Eliz.  was  a  witness  allow,  to  sw.  to  ridicul.  nonsense,  or  impertin. 
falsehood  in  the  witchcr.  trials  of  1692.  MATTHEW,  Salem,  s.  of  the 
preced.  left  wid.  Ann  to  admin,  his  est.  11  Apr.  1702.  SAMUEL, 
Salem,  prob.  eldest  br.  of  the  preced.  by  w.  Thomasine,  had  Jona

1697,  pro.  10  Jan.  foil,  we  find  that  he  left  wid.  Thomasine,  ch.  Samuel, 
John,  Gideon,  Joseph,  Benjamin,  Eliz.  and  David.  Mr.  Felt  confid. 
assures  me  that  this  is  a  differ,  name  from  Wardwell  or  Wardell.

worth,  on  Middlesex  rec.  call.  A.  B.  wh.  d.  12  July  1679 ;  but  this  must 
be  double  error,  prob.  for  Recompense  Wadsworth,  and  certain,  for  the 
coll.  honor.  In  the  Catal.  such  a  surname  has  never  yet  appear,  and 
bef.  1680  the  only  instance  of  the  bapt.  name  is,  1661,  with  Osborn ; 
and  in  the  foil,  generat.  is  attach,  to  a  Boston  Wadsworth.  JOHN, 
Taunton,  had  Nathaniel,  b.  31  July  1679.  JOSEPH,  Scituate,  s.  of  the

Seer,  on  his  rec.  dignif.  with  prefix  of  Mr.  was  rep.  1635,  and  I  regret

rect  the  errors,  of  that  notice,  we  may  learn  from  the  highest  authority, 
that  the  m.  refer,  to,  was  on  19  Dec.  1691,  and  that  the  first  issue  of  it

MS.  says  in  p.  33  of  Incr.  Mather's  Hist.  Ind.  Wars ;  and  that  explains 
the  orig.  of  the  love  of  the  marvellous  in  his  s.  "greater  than  his  f."

only  that  he  was  b.  30  Oct.  1649  and  bur.  20  Mar.  1650,  but  wh.  was

Lynn  1637.  PETER,  Sandwich  1643,  had  rem.  to  that  place  1638.  My 
conject.  is  that  he  was  br.  of  Nicholas ;  and  in  his  MS.  collect,  for  new 
edit.  Farmer  had  noted,  that  he  had  s.  Adarn,  b.  20  Mar.  1 650,  wh.  prob.

others  of  ea.  town  in  advis.  the  Gov.  and  Assist,  a.  rais.  a  public  stock, 
freem.  14  May  1634,  was  of  Boston  1636  or  earlier,  being  No.  89  of  the 
ch.  so  that  it  may  well  seem  to  be  a  differ,  man.  The  Boston  man  had 
Id.  at  Mount  Wollaston,  and  was  call.  capt.  He  there  had  a  mill,  wh. 
with  forty  acres,  he  gave,  in  1640,  to  Thomas  Dudley,  as  price  of  five 
cows.  I  hope  he  had  a  good  bargain,  but  it  seems  a  hard  one.  Prob. 
he  liv.  sometime  at  Dorchester,  aft.  1636.  RICHARD,  Plymouth  1643,

wh.  the  contribut.  of  that  valua.  rec.  in  Geneal.  Reg.  III.  67,  wrote  to 
me,  shortly  aft.  its  publicat.  in  1849  :  "  Is  not  this  name,  Sadir,  a  strange 
one  ?  I  could,  however,  make  nothing  else  out  of  it,  unless  I  call  it 
Sadie."  Resort  to  conject.  would  be  unjustifiab.  as  the  orig.  may  be 
turn,  to,  but  I  doubt  the  first  letter  more  than  the  last.  If  some  undiscip. 
eye  assail  the  MS.  he  may  scrutinize  each  letter,  and  if  the  initial  seein 
an  S,  other  letters  may  turn  out  adler,  or  any  thing  exc.  Sadir.  WIL

WYBORNE,  WIBORNE,  WEYBORNE,  WIBURN,  or  WYBURN,  JAMES, 
Boston,  d.  7  Mar.  1659,  says  Farmer;  but  of  him  I  kn.  nothing,  but 
that  he  was  s.  of  the  first  Thomas,  nam.  in  his  will,  and  prob.  unm. 
JOHN,  Boston,  younger  br.  of  the  preced.  rem.  to  Scituate,  there,  as 
Deane  shows,  had  John,  b.  1670;  but  Deane,  384,  borrows,  from 
Thomas,  Abigail,  and  other  ch.  On  rem.  from  B.  he  gave,  by  deed  of 
1671,  his  prop,  then  in  B.  to  his  mo.  Eliz.  Fitch.  THOMAS,  Scituate, 
had  come  in  the  Castle,  1 638,  from  Tenterden,  Co.  Kent,  as  from  the 
will  of  Peter  Branch  in  Geneal.  Reg.  II.  183,  is  presum.  It  seems  to 
be  that  of  a  fellow-passeng.  commit,  only  ch.  under  ten  yrs.  of  age  to  the 
care  of  W.  wh.  had  at  S.  Thomas,  James,  Eliz.  wh.  also  was  the  name 
of  his  w.  and  John  and  Mary;  rem.^to  Boston  bef.  1653,  there  prob. 
had  Jonathan,  wh.  d.  10  Dec.  of  that  yr.  and  Nathaniel,  b.  12  Mar. 
1655 ;  and  d.  2  Oct.  1656.  By  his  will  of  12  Sept.  preced.  pro.  28  Oct. 
foil,  we  learn  most  of  the  particulars  a.  the  ch.  and  that  he  own.  half  of 
the  windmill  in  B.  wh.  he  gave  to  his  w.  and  names  three  elder  s.  and 
two  ds.  beside  Deborah,  the  inf.  d.  of  his  d.  Eliz.  wh.  had  m.  3  Apr. 
1655,  John  Merrick.  Of  the  will,  Thomas  and  James,  the  two  eldest  s. 
were  made  excors.  and  Edward  Tyng,  and  John  Hull,  his  friends,  were 
made  overseers.  In  a  note  of  Geneal.  Reg.  VI.  289,  where  is  giv. 
abstr.  of  this  will,  the  Editor  doubts,  that  the  s.  Nathaniel  was  s.  of  the 
jr.  not  sen.  Thomas,  but  in  the  rec.  the  name  of  the  mo.  is  Eliz. 
THOMAS,  Boston,  s.  prob.  of  the  preced.  m.  16  Dec.  1657,  Abigail,  d.  of 
the  first  Jacob  Eliot,  had  Abigail,  b.  6  Jan.  1659  ;  and  Thomas,  2  Apr. 
1660.  By  w.  Ruth,  he  had  Thomas,  10  Aug.  1663 ;  and  John,  25  Sept. 
1665  ;  and  soon  aft.  rem.  to  Scituate.

Oct.  foil. ;  yet  as  we  find  neither  f.  nor  mo.  of  these  inf.  to  be  adm.  of 
Charlestown  ch.  in  Buddington's  list,  we  must  choose  to  consider  that 
good  Mr.  Symmes  had  poor  rec.  or  ano.  ch.  must  be  presum.  to  wh.  one 
or  the  other  of  the  parents  belong.  NATHANIEL,  Newbury  1637,  rem.

1676,  but  of  what  town,  or  in  whose  comp.  I  kn.  not,  nor  any  thing 
further  of  him.  THOMAS,  Boston,  by  the  diligent  inq.  in  the  Geneal. 
Reg.  III.  34,  call,  a  tailor,  said  to  have  serv.  in  the  Narraganset  winter

YALE,  DAVID,  Boston,  came  prob.  with  his  f.-in-law,  Gov.  Eaton,  in 
1637,  by  w.  Ursula  (perhaps  brot.  from  Wales,  where  was  the  home  of 
his  f.  David,  yet  more  prob.  that  he  took  her  in  Boston,  tho.  we  kn.  not 
her  f.)  had  Eliz.  b.  May  1644,  d.  in  few  wks. ;  David,  18  Sept.  1645; 
Theophilus,  14  Jan.  1652,  and  soon  aft.  rem.  perhaps  home  to  Eng. 
He  own.  some  Id.  at  New  Haven,  and  may  have  liv.  there  two  or  three 
yrs.  and  even  have  had  Joseph  there,  as  on  p.  24  of  the  "  Yale  fam."  is 
presum.  tno.  to  me  it  seems  not  prob.  How  Farmer  was  led  to  make 
him  freem.  1640,  is  strange,  for  his  name  is  not  on  the  list,  nor  was  he  a 
mem.  of  the  ch.  of  B.  but  he  sympathiz.  with  the  oppon.  of  our  com- 
mun.  wh.  prob.  indue,  him  to  abandon  our  country.  Gov.  Hopkins  wh. 
had  m.  his  sis.  Ann,  in  his  will,  made  at  London,  17  Mar.  1657,  left 
him  £200.  ELIHU,  New  Haven,  s.  of  the  first  Thomas,  as  Dr.  Stiles 
positively  says,  tho.  in  more  recent  times,  some  at  New  Haven  have 
doubted  it,  and  offer  very  good  presumpt.  that  he  was  s.  of  David,  quot. 
the  entry  of  the  Merch.  Taylor's  sch.  in  London,  where  he  was  adm.  1 
Sept.  1662,  went  home  in  his  youth,  and  a.  1678,  proceed,  to  the  E. 
Indies,  there  resid.  twenty  yrs.  and  went  home  with  large  est.  and  three 
ds.  two  of  wh.  m.  into  noble  fams.  and  he  d.  in  London,  22  July  1721. 
His  monum.  is  at  Wrexham,  in  Co.  Denbigh,  bordering  on  Cheshire. 
The  assid.  antiquary,  N.  B.  Shurtleff,  in  Geneal.  Reg.  IV.  245,  in  a 
brief,  but  comprehens.  notice,  slightly  varying  from  Stiles,  that  is  giv. 
in  note  to  Winth.  II.  217,  shows  how  he  was  Gov.  of  the  E.  I.  comp. 
and  by  his  munificent  legacy  gain,  the  endur.  credit,  of  founder  of  the 
flourish,  instit.  of  Yale  College  in  his  native  city.  JOHN,  New  Haven, 
eldest  s.  of  Thomas  of  the  same,  is  in  the  list  of  proprs.  1685,  and  that 
was  all  that  could  be  seen  of  him  bef.  the  appear,  of  the  Geneal.  1850, 
by  a  descend,  of  the  same  ancest.  In  that  tract  we  learn,  that,  by  w. 
Rebecca,  whose  surname  is  not  told,  he  had  John,  b.  3  June  1694,  when 
both  parents  had  acquir.  mature  age  (and  of  this  s.  it  is  carefully  told,

1696;  Abigail,  16  Nov.  1697;  and  David,  8  Oct.  1699;  and  d.  16 
Dec.  1711,  so  few  days  aft.  his  s.  of  the  same  name,  aged  65.  His  wid. 
d.  17  Oct.  1734,  aged  78.  NATHANIEL,  New  Haven,  s.  of  Thomas  of 
the  same,  was  a  propr.  1685,  but  little  more  was  kn.  of  him,  until  in  the 
fam.  geneal.  it  is  relat.  that  he  m.  21  Oct.  1692,  Ruth,  d.  of  Hon.  James 
Bishop,  had  David,  b.  25  Sept.  1693;  James,  31  July  1695,  d.  at  4 
yrs.;  Ann,  21  Aug.  1697;  and  Nathaniel,  31  Dec.  1702;  and  d.  29 
Oct.  1730.  His  wid.  d.  June  1738  or  9,  the  Geneal.  leav.  the  yr. 
uncert.  THEOPHILUS,  Boston,  s.  of  David  of  the  same,  had  very  slight 
connex.  I  believe,  at  any  time,  with  his  native  place,  exc.  that,  in  1675, 
he  udvanc.  passage-money  for  Edward  Kidder,  n  shoemaker  of  Derbysh. 
to  come  over,  wh.  should  serve  therefor  four  yrs.  THOMAS,  New 
Haven,  s.  of  David,  b.  in  Wales,  came  prob.  in  1637  to  Boston,  with 
Theophilus  Eaton,  wh.  had  m.  for  his  sec.  w.  the  wid.  mo.  of  Thomas, 
and  with  his  f.-in-law,  went  in  1638  to  plant  at  New  Haven ;  there  sign. 
the  planta.  covenant,  1639,  m.  Mary,  eldest  d.  of  Capt.  Nathaniel 
Turner,  had  John,  b.  a.  1645;  Thomas,  a.  1646;  Elihu,  said  by  Dr. 
Stiles  to  have  been  b.  5  Apr.  1 648,  but  some  doubt,  whether  he  was  s.  of 
Thomas,  or  even  b.  in  New  Haven,  suggest,  that  he  may  have  been  s.  of 
the  br.  David,  or  even  br.  but  the  town  rec.  contains  not  the  b.  of  either 
of  the  three;  Mary,  16  Oct.  1650;  Nathaniel,  3  Jan.  1653;  Martha,  6 
May  1655,  bapt.  18  Mar.  1660,  wh.  d.  under  16  yrs.;  Abigail,  5  May 
1660,  bapt.  perhaps,  22  July  foil.;  Hannah,  6  July  1662;  and  Eliz.  29 
Jan.  1667 ;  was  rep.  1672,  and  d.  27  Mar.  1683.  His  est.  by  inv.  of  7 
May  foil,  was  £479.  and  in  1684  it  was  distrib.  to  the  wid.  three  s. 
(Elihu  not  nam.  but  he  may  have  declin.  to  partake)  and  four  ds.  of 
wh.  Mary  had  m.  Jan.  1673,  Joseph  Ives  ;  Hannah,  m.  9  May  1682, 
Enos  Talmadge  ;  and  Eliz.  m.  30  July  1688,  Joseph  Pardee.  His  wid. 
d.  15  Oct.  1704.  THOMAS,  New  Haven,  s.  of  the  preced.  was  made 
freern.  1668,  m.  11  Dec.  1667,  Rebecca,  d.  of  William  Gibbard,  had 
Hannah,  b.  27  July  1669  ;  and  rem.  to  Wallingford,  had  there  Rebecca, 
2  Oct.  1671 ;  Eliz.  25  July  1673  ;  Theophilus,  13  Nov.  1675  ;  Thomas, 
20  Mar.  1679;  Nathaniel,  12  July  1681;  Mary,  27  Aug.  1684,  d. 
under  19  yrs.;  and  John,  8  Dec.  1687;  took  sec.  w.  8  Feb.  1689, 
Sarah,  d.  of  John  Nash,  wh.  d.  27  May  1716,  and  he  took  third  w.  31 
July  foil,  but  had  no  ch.  by  either,  and  d.  26  Jan.  1736. 

YARDLEY,  JOHN,  Braintree  1688,  as  found  by  Felt. 

YATES,  FRANCIS,  Wethersfield,  rem.  1641  to  Stamford,  says  Hinman, 
but  I  judge  him  the  same  wh.  was  of  Hempstead  1647,  made  a  freem. 
of  Conn.  1658,  and  perhaps  at  last  a  resid.  at  West  Chester,  in  the 
prov.  of^Nevv  York,  where  he  made  his  will,  1682,  pro.  and  rec.  in  N.  Y.

by  wh.  are  nam.  five  ch.  Mary,  John,  Dinah,  Jonathan,  and  Dorothy. 
GEORGE,  made  freem.  of  Conn.  1658,  may  have  been  br.  of  the  preced. 
HENRY,  Guilford  1669,  there  d.  Jan.  1705,  in  his  will  giv.  all  his  prop, 
to  the  ch.  and  to  deac.  John  Meigs,  and  thus  we  may  assume  tho.  the 
amount  was  only  £61.  that  he  had  no  w.  nor  ch.  JOHN,  Duxbury,  by 
w.  Mary  had  John,  b.  15  Aug.  1650 ;  perhaps  rem.  to  Eastham,  and  d. 
soon,  for  his  wid.  m.  Oct.  1651,  Richard  Higgins  of  E.  JOHN,  Eastham, 
perhaps  s.  of  the  preced.  m.  11  Jan.  1700,  Abigail  Rogers,  prob.  d.  of 
Lieut.  James.  One  JOHN,  perhaps  the  same,  if  the  spell,  of  the  name 
on  the  roster,  Yeates,  may  mean  the  same  (as  in  the  Boston  rec.  we  call 
Yeale,  Yale),  was  a  soldier  in  Moseley's  comp.  Dec.  1675.  WILLIAM 
is  the  name  of  a  passeng.  aged  14,  in  the  Abigail  from  London  1635,  of 
wh.  no  more  is  kn. 

YEALES,  TIMOTHY,  Weymouth,  m.  at  Boston,  Naomi,  d.  of  George 
Frye  of  W.  had  Ann,  b.  25  Apr.  1673,  d.  prob.  young;  Ann,  again,  7 
May  1679;  and  Nehemiah,  17  Sept.  1689;  perhaps  others. 

YELINGS,  ROGER,  Boston,  by  w.  Eliz.  had  John,  b.  30  Aug.  1680; 
and  David,  12  Aug.  1682. 

YELL,  or  YEAL,  JOHN,  Ipswich,  m.  says  Mr.  Felt,  27  July  1690, 
Joanna  Smith,  had  Eliz.  b.  15  June  1691  ;  and  John,  20  June  1694; 
and  d.  20  Jan.  1701. 

YEO,  or  Yow,  SAMUEL,  I  find  in  the  Essex  rec.  1653,  as  is  also 
ALLEN  ;  but  the  name  is  giv.  Yew,  and  sometimes  is  spell.  Yeow,  and 
in  Drake's  valua.  Hist,  of  Boston,  800,  is  Yow.  THOMAS,  Boston,  m. 
Sarah,  d.  of  David  Phippen  or  Phippeny  of  Hingham,  bef.  Nov.  1650, 
as  the  will  of  P.  calls  him  s.-in-law,  had  Eliz.  b.  1  Oct.  1652;  and 
Thomas,  24  Apr.  1654;  perhaps  more.  Our  Col.  Rec.  IV.  shows  that 
in  1652  he  was  one  of  the  projectors  of  the  conduit  in  Ann  street,  long 
a  valua.  supply  of  pure  water,  and  discontin.  in  the  present  century.  I 
think  he  had  a  br.  Charles,  at  Bristol,  Eng. 

YEOMANS,  EDMUND,  Charlestown,  by  our  Col.  Rec.  III.  had  w. 
Susanna,  and  sold  beer  in  1650;  but  he  is  not  seen  as  a  householder 
there  in  1658.  He  may  be  the  man  of  Haverhill,  1666,  by  Coffin,  in 
Geneal.  Reg.  VIII.  168,  call.  Edward.  EDWARD,  Boston,  m.  21  June 
1652,  Eliz.  d.  of  Thomas  Joslin,  Jocelin,  or  Josselin,  had  Edward,  b.  6 
May  1657  ;  and  perhaps  other  ch.  but  he  d.  not  long  aft.  for  his  wid.  m. 
9  May  1662,  Edward  Kilby.  EDWARD  and  JOHN,  early  sett,  of  Plain- 
field,  a.  1700,  may  have  been  s.  of  the  preced. 

YKSCUTT,  RICHARD,  Ipswich,  with  w.  Alice,  giv.  me  by  Mr.  Felt, 
prob.  came  to  N.  E.  too  late  for  adm.  in  this  work. 

YORK,  or  YORKE,  BENJAMIN,  Dover,  s.  of  Richard,  prob.  of  the 
same,  was  first  tax.  there  1677.  JAMES,  Stonington,  had  first  liv.  at 


YOUNG.  669 

Braintree,  where  his  s.  James  was  b.  14  June  1648;  was  freem.  of 
Conn.  1666,  but  when  he  d.  is  not  heard.  JAMES,  Stonington  1670,  s. 
of  the  preced.  freem.  1673,  sold  the  yr.  preced.  his  est.  in  Boston,  and  d. 
early,  perhaps  in  1678,  for  his  wid.  Deborah  m.  12  Mar.  1679,  Henry 
Eliot.  JOHN,  Dover,  prob.  s.  of  Richard  of  the  same,  took  o.  of  fidel. 
1669,  had  w.  Ruth,  perhaps  was  of  North  Yarmouth  1684.  RICHARD, 
Dover  1648,  was  prob.  f.  of  Benjamin,  Edward,  and  John,  and  d.  early 
in  1674,  his  inv.  being  of  27  Mar.  He  left  wid.  Eliz.  SAMUEL,  Glou 
cester,  by  w.  Hannah  had  John,  b.  1695,  but  some  yrs.  bef.  had  liv.  at 
North  Yarmouth.  This  s.  and  ano.  (Thomas)  d.  says  Babson,  1699, 
and  the  f.  d.  18  Mar.  1718,  aged  73.  But  in  his  will  he  ment.  other  ch. 
all  prob.  elder,  Samuel,  wh.  had  three  s.  Samuel;  Benjamin;  Richard; 
beside  three  m.  ds. 

YOUDALL,  PHILIP,  Gloucester,  of  wh.  nothing  good  is  told  by  Bab-

1648  in  connex.  with  some  offence. 

YOUNG,  CHRISTOPHER,  Salem  1638,  came  from  Yarmouth,  Co.  Norf. 
by  w.  Priscilla  had  Sarah,  bapt.  2  Dec.  of  that  yr. ;  Ruth,  Mar.  1641 ; 
Judith,  1  Jan.  1643,  d.  soon;  and  Christopher,  18  Feb.  1644;  and  d.  at 
Wenham  1647,  betw.  19  June,  date  of  his  will,  and  8  July,  when  it  was 
pro.  See  Essex  Inst.  II.  6.  By  our  Col.  Rec.  II.  272,  it  is  seen  that 
discretion  in  our  Ct.  control  the  affection  of  the  testator,  by  wh.  he 
directs  his  childr.  to  be  sent  to  Eng.  Coffin,  in  Geneal.  Reg.  VIII.  169, 
has  some  slight  variat.  from  the  names  and  dates,  but  my  bapt.  are  sure. 
Sarah  m.  20  Mar.  1662,  I  suppose,  John  Marsh.  DAVID,  Eastham,  s. 
of  the  first  John  of  the  same,  m.  20  Jan.  1688,  Ann,  d.  of  John  Doane

EDWARD,  Boston  1675,  a  fisherman,  perhaps  is  the  same,  wh.  by  Coffin 
is  ment.  at  Newbury,  having  w.  Hannah,  and  ch.  Thomas,  b.  17  Jan. 
1691  ;  and  Richard,  7  Sept.  1693.  GEORGE,  Scituate  1660,  m.  15  Jan.

was  by  S.  employ,  as  agent  to  manage  affairs  with  Conn,  jurisdict.  and 
Hammond  has  in  his  Index,  mark,  him  as  rep.  but  not  so  print,  him  in 
the  body  of  the  Vol.  was  a  capt.  and  so  much  betrust.  by  the  Gen.  Ct.  of 
Conn,  that  he  was  made  a  magistr.  over  that  part  of  L.  I.  wh.  the  peo 
ple  of  Conn,  hoped  to  extort  from  the  weakness  of  the  Dutch ;  and  he 
was,  in  1663,  by  act  of  the  Ct.  put  in  nominat.  for  an  Assist.  That  he 
was  never  chos.  was  prob.  the  conseq.  of  the  conquest  of  N.  Y.  from  the 
Dutch,  and  royal  gr.  to  the  Duke  of  York.  Oft.  this  man's  name  appears 
in  Conn.  Col.  rec.  without  the  u,  and  once  an  addit.  es  is  seen ;  and  I  am 
much  inclined  to  believe  that  he  was  s.  of  the  Rev.  John  Youngs.  JOHN, 
Exeter,  perhaps  s.  of  John  of  Portsmouth,  took  o.  of  alleg.  1677,  was  k.

Eastham,  br.  of  the  preced.  m.  23  Oct.  1679,  Sarah  Davis,  prob.  d.  of

advis.  him  to  cease  preach,  it  may  derogate  nothing  from  his  moral 
worth,  for  as  my  correspond,  says,  "  he  may  have  had  an  unhappy  tem

his."  The  wid.  d.  17  Jan.  1711.  SAMUEL,  Ipswich,  came  in  the  Hope-

margin  of  this  part  is  insert.  "  This  man  was  forbyden  passage  by  the

had  no  idea  of  a  negative  pregnant,  as  the  lawyers  say,  in  his  mind, 
when  he  made  that  entry,  but  may  have  suppos.  that  the  power  of  the 
great  archbp.  the  imperious  and  foolish  Laud,  would  forever  restrain  that

ZECHARIAH,  LEWIS,  Ipswich  1675,  is  all  that  Mr.  Felt  can  tell  a. 
this  person,  whose  surname  may  have  changed  places  with  the  bapt.  as 
Farmer  found  Merry  Waters.  Yet  I  have  no  acquaint,  with  Zechariah 
Lewis,  not  even  so  much  as  with  Lewis  Zechariah.  The  name  of 
Daniel  Zechary  in  Boston,  turns  up  in  1706.

approxim.  to  so  unusual  a  surname,  I  have  seen  nothing  but  Mr.  Zel-

even  he  were  not  far  remote,  whose  goods  of  £200.  value  were  attach,

PREFACE. 


SOMK  years  ago  I  discovered  that  there  was  in  Savage's  Dictionary 
a  great  deal  more  information  about  many  families  than  could  be  found 
under  the  name,  and  that  tin  index  such  as  is  now  uniformly  found  in 
genealogical  works  would  be  of  great  use.  In  the  preparation  for  the 
pres.s  of  my  family  genealogy,  I  found  that  the  maiden  name  of  the  wife 
of  the  only  son  of  my  first  American  ancestor  still  eluded  my  best  endeav 
ors ;  so,  as  I  hud  not  been  able  to  induce  any  one  else  to  do  the  work,  I 
compiled  the  following  index.  It  has  been  done  very  hurriedly,  but,  I 
hope,  will  be  found  reasonably  free  from  errors. 

The  amount  of  additional  information  it  lays  open  is  very  much  more 
than  even  I  expected ;  but  my  object  is  yet  unattaiued.  I  still  want  the 
maiden  name  of 

Sarah,  who  married  John  IVxter.  who  died  1677;  after 
wards  murried  William  BoiU'dman,1  who  died  10% ;  prob 
ably  finally  married  Daniel  1  lichens." 

Any  one  who  will  help  me  to  some  enlightenment  in  the  premises,  will 

greatly  oblige,
