PBEFACE.

In oiFering these Memorials of the precedmg generations
of the name and family of Glover, the writer gratefully
acknowledges the kind words of encouragement received
from many individuals in each branch of the families con-
tained in the work, as also the ready response to her call for
ancient original documents and private records. In addition
to such sources of information, an extensive correspondence
has been the means of gathermg in much valuable and
rehable information. Letters have been addressed to every
person bearing the name of Glover, not only in New England
but the United States, whose records and history coidd not be
otherwise obtained. More than one thousand letters have
been sent to such persons, and to others from whom there
appeared to be any chance of gleaning information. To
those who have responded promptly, the most grateful ac-
knowledgments are here tendered. In some few instances
inquhies have remamed imanswered ; and in others, where
another name was borne although of Glover descent, an
indifference has been made apparent by the doubtful character
of the reply. The best has been made of it, however, and if
such should chance to see an error in the arrangement of
then- names or a discrepancy of dates, they must impute it
to the deficiency of their own communications, for no expense
or labor has been spared in the endeavor to obtain the cor-
rect dates and facts in every case. It is earnestly hoped that

those who may discover errors or omissions, will be kind
enough to make them known to the author.

There have been found to be six original progenitors or
American ancestors of the name of Glover — four only of
whom are here Memorialized. Of Charles Glover, of Salem
and Gloucester in 1632, and subsequently of Southold, Long
Island, N. Y., and of Henry Glover, who settled early in New
Haven, Ct., there has been a large amount of information
gathered and their descendants traced as far as practicable ;
but they could not be noticed in this volume, without too
much increasing its size.

EXPLANATION.

In order to render the work as plain as possible and avoid elaborate
numbering, as a means of designating the places of each individual
member of so large a family, the plan kindly suggested by a distin-
guished genealogist has been adopted, and the sign of addition (-{-)
placed before each name designed to be noticed in the succeeding
generation. This rule has been followed as far as practicable. In a
few instances, however, the sign will be found placed before a name
which does not appear in the next generation, on account of a defi-
ciency in the additional facts obtained, as in the following numbers : —
Nos. 67 and 68, on page 252 ; lU and 111, on p. 273 ; 227, on p. 285 ;
413, on p. 306 ; 601, on p. 323 ; 731, on p. 336 ; 846, on p. 346 ; and
113, on p. 522. The numbers before which the sign was omitted, and
which were intended to be again noticed and have been carried for-
ward to their proper places in the next generation, are as follows : —
No. 97, on page 255, is carried forward to p. 298 ; 200 and 201, p.
280, to pp. 332 and 333 ; 204, p. 281, to p. 333; 358, p. 300, to p.

p. 388, to p. 435 ; 1361 and 1364, p. 396, to p. 437. An error on page
301, No. (123), and carried forward to page 347, may be found cor-
rected on page 582, under the head of Additions and Corrections. No.
1393, on page 398, was received too late to be carried forward to its
proper place in the next generation, and is inserted among the Addi-
tions and Corrections. On page 402, No. 835, the account of the
children was received too late to be inserted in the proper place, and
is placed among the Additions and Corrections. On page 408, is an
erroneous communication in relation to the children of No. 888, which
is corrected among the Additions and Corrections. Also No, 83, of

MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

THE GLOVERS OF ENGLAND.

Glover is an ancient name in England, and from what has been^
gathered of its origin, is indisputably Saxon. In some of the old'
est counties, as Warwickshire and Kent, it was, at a very ancient
date, written Golofre — - then Glove, and in the middle of the four-
teenth century it was written as it now is. Glover. It has under-
gone no change since, excepting that some of the earliest settlers of
New England occasionally wrote it with a u, instead of a v, as may
be sometimes seen in the oldest documents, viz., Glouer; although
there is no record of the name being spelled in that way in England
at any time. It was a corruption, which soon went into disuse, and
the name written Glover again, according to the English orthography,
and has continued to be so written to the present day.

Families of Glover, of the Christian names of William and John,
were recorded in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Warwickshire,
about the middle of the fourteenth century. To distinguish one
family from another, it became necessary to have some rule estab-
lished by which to preserve to their children the remembrance of
their origin and race, and the titles to their estates. The Norman
nobles first used surnames in England, to avoid confusion and the
extinction of family origin — and surnames were taken by some from
the places from which they came, from their office or their trades —
and various other circumstances induced them to adopt some sur-

name. The Saxon race who were living at that time under the rule
of the Norman kings, soon found it not only convenient, but honora-
ble, to adopt the same rule, and surnames became universal through-
out the kingdom. To perpetuate the remembrance of their estates.
William of Normandy, called the Conqueror, who invaded England
in 1066, caused a survey to be made of his English kingdom, and
a record kept of all the estates as they then were possessed and
occupied, with the titles to them, and ordered that this record should
be made in a book, called the Dooms-Day Book, and preserved in
the Tower of London, to enable all persons who had a desire to
know to whom these estates had once belonged, and other particu-
lars in relation to them, by examining that record book, to obtain
the desired information.

Another rule or plan adopted by the. Norman Conqueror, was to
appoint competent persons, to whom he gave the name of Heralds
or Norroys, and send them throughout his English kingdom to collect
and preserve the origin and pedigrees of all English, Saxon or Nor-
man families. These visitations were made not long before his
death, in A.D. 1087, and the records of all such families as then
existed, with their rank and pedigrees, were ordered to be preserved
in the Tower of London, and may be seen at the present time.

These visitations were called '• Heralds' Visitations," and con-
tinued to take place once in about thirty years, through all succeed-
ing reigns, for a long period.

The ofiice is referred to in the times of Edward I., H. and HI.
The Norroys, or Kings of Arms, as Burke writes, were always at-
tended throughout their circuit by a register, a draughtsman and
proper attendants.

Fuller, in his Worthies of England, written in the 15th century,
gives an account of one of these Heralds' Visitations among the
gentry and worthies of England, which occurred in the twelfth year
of King Henry VI., as returned by the commissioners in A.D. 1433.

Titles came into use about this time, which were very convenient
in designating persons and classes, as a kind of dignity granted to
the most worthy and enterprising. Master was one of the earliest
in use for expressing Lordship, according to the definition given by
writers on the science of language. In those times it was a title
of honor and regard, but in the lapse of time has become so pro-
miscuously applied to all classes and grades of people, that it has

long ceased to be a distinguishing title expressing Lordship, and
other names have been and are at present used to express the same
rank. It was at first Master, then modified to Mister, which was a
title expressing worth, honor and probity. In the 16th and 17th
centuries, the appellation or affix of Mr. to a surname expressed
dignity and rank, distinguishing those to whose name it was applied,
from the common classes. It was in those times very carefully used,
and but few names, and those only of the distinguished class, were
honored with the title. It has been stated by writers of the time
of the early emigration to New England, that in a list of one hun-
dred freemen, not more than four or five persons bore the appel-
lation of Mr.

Knighthood was a very ancient title. Certain qualities of mind
and manner, certain courses of action which distinguished persons
for bravery and honorable conduct, and brought them into favorable
notice with their sovereigns, were rewarded with the appellation of
Knight, and such individuals became a favored class.

According to a survey made in the following counties, the name
of Glover is recorded thus :

Among the worthies of the County of Berkshire — Johannis Glo-
ver, Sheriff in the 12th year of King Henry VI., A.D. 1433.

Buckinghamshire — John Glover, of Kimball.

Bedfordshire — ■ Gentry, Johannis Glover, and John Glover,
Junior.

Warwickshire — Robert Glover, of Monceter, Gentleman, mar-
tyred at Coventry Sept. 20, 1555.

Middlesex — William Glover, Sheriff in the time of Queen Eliza-
beth, London, Middlesex, about 1588.

Kent — Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, son of Thomas and
Mildred, was born at Ashford, in this County. By the epitaph on
his monument, he died not 46 years old, Anno 1588, and was
buried without Cripplegate, London, St. Giles, on the south wall of
the choir.

The names of John, William, Robert, Thomas, Richard and Hen-
ry, are among the earliest Christian names of Glover that have been
noticed by writers. These names have been perpetuated, and have
descended down like their estates, tln-ough many generations, both
in Old and New England.

1423. There was a William Glover, who lived in A.D. 1423

and is noticed thus : " Feoffment of a Burgage in the town of Strat-
ford upon Avon, in the second year of King Henry VI. (1423), be-
ing a conveyance of Land to William Glover and others."

1469. William Glover, in Wiltshire, collected fifty shillings for
the Charities of tliat Church during the week on which falls the
nativity of St. John the Baptist.

Of the John Glovers we have dates from English records as
follows :

1446. Mr. John Glover, incumbent at the Rectory of Sutton, in
Surrey County, as early as 1454, resigned in 1466. Records from
1416 lost, also from 1616 to 1628.

1571. John Glover, Vicar of Docking, in Wiltshire, in 1571.
After the death of John Glover, Stephen Ricliman succeeded to the
vicarage. He was Master of Arts ; sometime one of the fellows of
Magdalen College, and became vicar immediately after the death of
John Glover, who died in 1571.

1593. John Glover, page 236, Charities from County of Kent:
<•' Mr. John Glover, of this Parish, gave by Will, five Shillings per
Annum forever for the Poor, to be paid out of his Lands to the Sur-
veyors for the time being, towards mending the highways of this
Parish, which Lands are now in possession of Matthew Parker.'*

1685. John Glover, at St. John's Church, Margate, County of
Kent. This Church was one of three Chapels belonging to the
Church of Minster, in the Island of Thanet, and very probably was
begun to be built as early as the year A.D. 1050. It is situated on
the open sea, at Margate, in Kent.

A Memorial to John Glover, Gentleman, who died at London in
1685, aged 56 years, born in 1629. He had a wife Susanna, whom
he left a widow, according to the following inscription underneath
his obit:

"Mrs. Susanna Glover, his wife, Obiciit in 1713, aged 75 years "
(born, therefore, in 1638).

In the second volume of Stowe's Survey of London, not in Index,
the following is found :

THE GLOVERS OF ENGLAND.

ROBERT GLOVER, THE MARTYR.

Robert Glover, who suffered martyrdom in September, 1555, no-
ticed by Fuller in Ms Worthies, had brothers John, William and
Thomas, and possessed estates in Monceter, Baxterly, and other
places in the County of Warwickshire.

John and Robert were married, William died unmarried. The
name of John's wife was Agnes 5 the name of Robert's, Mary.
Thomas left Warwickshire, and settled in Ashford, County of Kent,
according to the testimony of some — and undoubtedly it is correct.
His Coat of Arms refers him back to Warwickshire. Robert, the
Somerset Herald, was probably nephew to the Martyr. Robert the
Martyr had several children, the names of but two of whom have been
given : Hugh, whom he named, it is said, from Hugh Latimer, who
was often a guest at the house of his brother John Glover ; and
Edward, who succeeded, in the reign of Elizabeth, to the Baxterly
estate.

We find the following in " Fox's Acts and Monuments," at pages
814, 817 and 819:

" The persecution of Mr. Robert Glover'^ and his two brothers John and
William Glover, in September, 1555.

"To this month pertains the memorable Martyrdom of Glover,
Gentleman, in the Diocese of Litchfield and Coventry, in Warwick-
shire County, England.

" I must intermix with his history some mention of his brother
John Glover, for whom this commission was chiefly sent down ; and
not for Robert, although it pleased Almighty God that John escap-
ed, and Robert was apprehended instead. I thought therefore in
one history to comprehend them both together in describing some
part of their virtuous lives.

" And, first, to begin with John Glover, the Eldest brother, being
a Gentleman and heir to his father in the Town of Monceter, lie was
endowed with fair possessions of Worldly Goods. But yet was
much more enriched with God's Heavenly Grace and inward Vir-

tues. Which Grace of God so working in him he with his other
brothers William and Robert not only received and embraced the
happy light of Gods Holy Gospel, but also zealously professed and no
less diligently in their living and conversation followed the same.
Who though he suffered sharp temptations, yet the Lord Graciously
preserved him all the While, and not only at last did rid him out of
all discomfort, but also framed thereby to such mortification of Life
in that his conversation was in Heaven, and being dead to this
World, he in Word and meditation led a life altogether Heavenly ;
Abhorring in his mind all profane doings. Neither was his talk
different from his life ; never using any vile or vain language. The
most part of his lands he distributed among his brethren, and com-
mitted the rest to the arrangements of his servants and officers, by
which he might the more quietly give himself to his Godly study, as
to a continual Sabbath rest.

" This was about the latter part of King Henry Eighth's Reign,
and continued a great part of the time of King Edward Sixth.*

" After this, in the persecuting days of Queen Mary, As soon as
the Bishop of Coventry heard of the fame of this Mr. John Glover,
he wrote his letters to the Mayor and Officers to apprehend him.
But it chanced otherwise by Gods Holy Providence, disposing all
things after His Holy and own secret pleasure, Who seeing His old
and trustworthy Servant, so many years broken with many torments ;
would in no wise heap too many sorrows upon one poor sheep ;
neither would commit him to the flames of fire, who had been alrea-
dy scorched with the sharp fires of inward Affliction and had sus-
tained so many burning darts and conflicts of Satan.

" God therefore of his Divine Providence Graciously provided
his brother Robert Glover, being both stronger of Body and also
better furnished with the helps of Learning to answer the Adversa-
ries (this Robert being a Master of Arts in Cambridge), should sus-
tain that conflict.

* " Edward VI. was taken to his rest, and his sister Maiy— ahas, Bloodj- Mary— ascended
the Throne as Queen of England in Anno Domini 1553. The sj'stem of persecution which
she put in force was the most awful exhibition of cruelty and of cold and delibci-atc blood-
guiltiness that the records of our race presents to us. There may have been at other times
and in other lands persecution as ten-iblc and Ijloody ; but this continued through the whole
five years of her Reign. The Loftiest in the Land were its Maityrs, and a "Woman was its
perpetrator."

Fox's Acts and Monuments, Editor's Preface, p. 3.

THE GLOVERS OF ENGLAND. T

" As soon as the Mayor of Coventry had received the Bishop's
Letter for the apprehending of John Glover, he sent forthwith pri-
vate word to John to convey himself away, who with his brother
William was not so soon departed out of his house ; but yet in the
sight of the Sheriff, the Searchers came and rushed in to take him
according to the Bishop's Command. But when John could not be
found, one of the ofl&cers, going into an Upper chamber, found Rob-
ert* there lying ill on his bed and sick of a severe disease, who was
immediately brought before the Sheriff. The Sheriff would fain have
dismissed him, and did what he could, saying he was not the Man
for whom they were sent; yet nevertheless the Officers contending
with him to have him stayed until the Bishop's coming, he was con-
strained to carry him away against his Will."

We shall now give some account of the history of Robert Glover.
From a narration which was sent to his wife, in his own hand writ-
ing, we give extracts as follows :

" To my Entirely beloved Wife, Mary Glover.

" The peace of Conscience which passeth all understanding, tho
sweet consolation, comfort, strength and boldness of the Holy Ghost,
be continually increased in our heart, through a fervent, earnest and
steadfast faith in our most dear and only Saviour Jesus Christ. I
thank you most heartily, my most loving Wife, for your letters sent
to me in my imprisonment. I read them with tears more than once
or twice : With tears, I say, for Joy and gladness that God had
wrought in you so merciful a Work. First, an unfeigned repent-
ance; secondly, an humble and hearty reconciliation; thirdly, a
Willing submission and Obedience to the Will of God in all things,
which, when I read your letters and judged them to proceed from
the bottom of your heart, I could not but be thankful to God, rejoic-
ing with tears for you ; and these his great mercies poured upon
you. These your letters and the hearing of your most Godly pro-
ceedings and constant doings from time to time much relieved and
comforted me at all times, and shall be a goodly Testimony with
you at the Great Day against many worldly and dainty Dames who
set more by their own pleasure and pelf in this world than by God's
Glory, little regarding the everlasting health of their own souls or

of others. My prayer shall be while in this world that God, who
of his great mercy hath begun this good work in you, will finish it
to the Glory of His name, and by the Mighty power and inspiration
of His Holy Spirit so strengthen, establish and confirm you in all
his ways, to the end that we may together show forth his praises in
the World to Come to our unspeakable consolation everlastingly.
Amen. So long as God shall lend you a continuance in this misera-
ble World, above all things, give yourself Continually to prayer,
lifting up, as St. Paul says, clean and pure hearts and hands, without
anger, wrath, or doubting, forgiving, as he saith also, if you have
any thing against any Man, as Christ forgiveth us.

" If I would have given place to Worldly reasons, these might
have moved me. First, the foregoing of you ; and the consideration
of the state of my children, being yet of tender age ; apt and in-
clinable to Virtue and Learning, and so haveing the more need of my
assistance — being not altogether destitute of gifts to help them —
possessions also above the common sort of Men. Because I was
never called to be a Minister or Preacher, and because my sickness,
fear of death in imprisonment before I should come to my answers
to the Bishop; and so my death to be unprofitable. But these
things and such like, I thank my Heavenly Father, which of his In-
finite mercy inspired me with his Holy Spirit for his Son's sake, My
only Saviour and Redeemer, prevailed not in me."

The letter closes ; and then follows, viz. : — "In the same fire with
Robert Glover was burned Cornelius Bungy of Coventry, and Wil-
liam Wolsey and Robert Pigot of the Isle of Ely, about the 20th
of September, 1555."

JOHN AND WILLIAM GLOVER.

An account of John and William Glover is given in the same
work as follows ;

" After the Martyrdom of Robert Glover, John Glover, the eldest
brother, seeing his brother apprehended for him, had little joy of
his life, and would gladly have put himself in his brother's stead if
friends had not otherwise persuaded him. About the latter end of
Queen Mary's Reign there was a new search made for him. The
Sheriffs with their under Officers being sent to seek John Glover,

THE GLOVERS OP ENGLAND. l)

came into the house where he and his wife were. It chanced as he
was in the Chamber by himself the Officers bursting into the house
and searching other rooms came to the chamber door where he,
holding the latch, softly with his hand, perceived and heard tlie Offi-
cers bustling about the door, amongst whom one of the Officers,
having the string in his hand, was ready to draw and pluck at tho
door. In the mean time another coming whose voice he heard and
knew, bade them come away, saying that they had been there before,
upon which they went to search other corners of the house, wher(^
they found Agnes Glover his wife, who being taken to Litchfield and
there examined before the Bishop, at length after much ado was con-
strained to give place to their tyranny. John Glover in the mean
time, partly for care of his wife and partly from cold taken in the
woods where he lay hid, had an ague, and not long after gave up his
life which the cruel Papists had so long sought for. Thus by the
protection of Almighty God, John Glover was delivered and defend-
ed from the hand of his persecuting enemies during all the time of
his life. Now what befel him after his death, both to him and to
William his brother, is not unworthy to be remembered. After he
was dead and buried in the Church-yard without Priest or Clerk,
Doctor Dracot, then the Chancellor, Six weeks after sent for the
Parson of the Town and demanded how it chanced that he was
there buried ; The Parson answered that he was then sick and knew
not of it. Then the Chancellor commanded the Parson to go home
and to cause the body of John Glover to be taken up and to be cast
over the Wall into the Highway. The Parson answered that he bad
been six weeks in the Earth, and so smelled that none was able to
abide the stench of him. Well, said Dr. Dracot, then take this bill
and pronounce him in the pulpit a damned soul, and a twelve month
after (for then the flesh will be consumed) take up his bones and
cast them over the Wall, that the horses and carts may tread upon
them, and then I will come again and hallow that place in the Church
Yard. Similar usage was practised upon the body of William, the
Third brother, whom after it had pleased Almighty God about the
same season to call him out of this vale of misery, the good disposed
people of the Town of Wem in Shropshire where he died, brought
the body into the Parish Church, intending there to have it buried,
but one Bernard being the Curate of the Church, to stop the bmnal
rode to the Bishop, to have his advise. The body in the mean time

lay there two whole days and one night ; when Bernard the Curate
comes with the Bishop's Letter, of which we here have a copy word
for word : —

" ' Understanding that one Glover a heretic is dead in the Parish
of Wem, which Glover hath for all the time of my being in this
Country been known for a rebel against our Holy Faith and Reli-
gion, a contemner of the Holy Sacrament and Ceremonies used in
the Holy Church; — and hath separated himself from the Holy
Communion of all good Christian men and never requested to be
reconciled to Our Mother Holy Church, nor in his last days did call
for his Ghostly Father, but died without all those Rites belonging
to a Christian Man, I thought it good not only to command the Cu-
rate of Worn that he should not be buried with a Christian burial,
but also will and command all the Parish of Wem that no man pro-
cure, help, nor speak to have him buried in Holy Ground. But do
charge and command the Church Warden of Wem in special and
all the Parish of the same, that they assist the said Church Curate
in defending and rendering and procuring, that he be not buried
either in the Church or within the limits of the Church Yard. I
charge those that brought the body to this place to carry it away
again, and that at their Charge as they will answer at their peril.

John Glover, of Barcester, in Warwickshire. A notice of John
Glover occurs on page 1076 of " History of the County of War-
wickshire," which reaches further back than the time of Robert the
Martyr. He may have been the father of Robert.

"William Harper, Nicholas Rowley and Thomas Arblaster, ot
Langdon, County of Staifordshire, Esquires, were in the 10th Year
of Henry Sixth of England (1432), joyntly possessed of the manor
of Monceter. Thomas Harper, the last of that name, sold his share
to John Glover of Baxterly, in whose line it still continues now at
this writing (1788), the manor house being a part of it."

" William, another brother, met with similar usage ; he escaped

Thomas, of Coventry in Warwickshire and of Ashford in Kent,
may have been a brother of the above martyrs ; he was father ot
Robert the Antiquary. The conjecture is not improbable, as after the
death of Queen Mary, who was succeeded by Elizabeth, times were
changed in relation to those families whom she persecuted on ac-
count of their absolving themselves from the Catholic religion.
Elizabeth's reign commenced in 1558, and those families which had
been so persecuted by her predecessor, were treated by her with marks

of especial favor. Where estates had been confiscated by Mary,
they were restored to them or their children by Elizabeth, as in the
case of the Glovers of WarAvickshire.

Frequent instances are on record at the present time, by which
it appears that many of the name have continued to enjoy the power
and patronage of their Sovereigns — both Kings and Queens — one
of which may find a place here.

Maximilian, and afterwards was joined an Ambassador to the Earl
of Shrewsbury to carry the Garter to Henry 4th, King of France."

Fuller, in giving an account of the distinguished writers of that
time, 1588, speaks thus of him:

" Robert Glover, son to Thomas and Mildred, was born at Ash-
ford, in Kent. He addicted himself to the study of Heraldry, and
in the reward of his pains was made first a Pursuivant Port-Cullis
and then Somerset Herald. When the Earl of Derby was sent into
France to carry the Garter to King Henry Third of France, Mr.

« There arc living at the present time in Coventry, in the County of Warwickshire, several
families of the name of Glover, as shown in the Post Office Directory of 1859. The bound-
aries given of the County of Warwickshire may assist in directing the reader to the part of
England whence many of the name originated. Warwickshire is bounded on the North-
west by Stalfordshire, on the Northeast l)y Leicestershire, on the Southeast by Oxfordshire,
on the East by Northamptonshire, on the Southwest l)y Gloucestershire, and on the West
by Worcestershire. The London and Bimiingham Railway passes through it. Its chief
city is Coventry.

Glover attended the Embassage, and was, as he deserved, well re-
warded for his pains. He by himself began in Latin a book called
the Catalogue of Honour of our English Nobility, with their Arms
and Mottoes. It being the first book of the kind, he therein travel-
led untrodden paths, and therefore no wonder who since succeeded
him found a nearer way and exceeded him in acuteness therein. Be-
ing old rather in experience than years, he died not Forty six years
old, Anno 1588, and lieth buried under a comely Monument in
Saint Giles, without Cripplegate, London, on the south wall of the
Church Choir. Let Mr. Camden's commendation pass for his
Epitaph."

Stowe, in his *' Survey of London," speaks thus of him (not in
index) : —

" The Skilful Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, a man of as good
wit and great reading, so of infinite industry. He began the book
called the Catalogue of Honour, in Latin (but finished by Thomas
Milles, his kinsman), wherein he undertook to clear the descent of
Royal Pedigrees of our Kings and Queens. He had an abundance
of Rolls and Pedigrees and Ancient Writings of Heraldry, which he
had gathered for his use, besides vast collections made by his
own hands and travel, touching the Arms and Visitations of Twenty-
four Shires, and Miscellaneous matters, all written by himself."

'' Camden mentions him oft with honor, and acknowledges he had
made much use of him in making out Genealogies.

"Glover also communicated to Dr. David Powell a copy of the
History of Cambria, Translated by H. Lloyd.

" He was thus useful in prosecuting the knowledge of the Ancient
Britons, and would have been much more had he not been taken
away so early, being at his death but Forty five years old. In the
Parish Church of Cripplegate, where he lies jjuried, is a fair monu-
ment got up to his memory, with an inscription in Latin."

The following notice from Chalmers appears to refer to this Robert
Glover : —

" Thomas Glover, a Herald and Heraldic Writer, was the son of
Thomas Glover of Ashford, in Kent, the place of his Nativity. He
was first made Portcullis pursuivant, and afterwards, hi 1571, Som-
erset Herald.

"Queen Elizabeth permitted him to travel abroad for improve-
ment, and in 1582 he attended Lord Willoughby, with the order of

the Garter, to Frederic II. of Denmark. He waited as Clarencieux
to the Earl of Derby, with that Order to the King of France.

" No one was a greater ornament to the College than this Gen.
tleman. The Suavity of his manners was equal to his integrity and
skill. He was a most excellent and very learned man, with a know-
ledge in his profession which has never been surpassed or exceeded,
perhaps has never been paralleled. To this the best writers of his
own and recent times bear testimony. He left two treatises — de
Nobilitate Politica vel Civili, and a Catalogue of Honour, both of
which were published after his death by Ms nephew Thomas Milles,
the former in 1608, the latter in 1610 — both folio — to revive the
name and memory of his deceased uncle and friend, whose private
studies for the public good deserved a remembrance beyond the for-
getfulness of time. His Answer to the Bishop of Rose's book, in which
Mary Queen of Scots' claim to the Crown was asserted, was never
published. He made great collections of what had been written by
preceding Heralds, and left his own labors relative to Ai^ms and
Visitations of Twenty-four Counties, and miscellaneous matters be-
longing to this science, all written by himself. He assisted Camden
in his Pedigrees for his Britannia — communicated to Dr. David
Powell a copy of the History of Cambria, translated by H. Lloyd —
made a collection of inscriptions upon the funeral monuments in
Kent — drew up a most curious survey of Herewood Castle in York-
shire, in 1584 — and his Catalogue of Northern Gentry, whose sur-
names ended in son. He died in London, says Stowe, April 14,
others say 10, Anno Dom. 1588, aged only 45 years, and was buried
in St. Giles Churchyard, Cripplegate. His loss was severely felt by
all our lovers of English Antiquity. His Ordinary of Arms was
augmented by Edmonson, who published it in his first volume of
his Body of Heraldry."

Extract from Edmonson : " Glover, London, 1604, of Coventry, in
Warwickshire, of Ashford, in Kent.

bow az. between two wings or.

" Another Crest on a round Chapcau, sa turned up, or two wings

From Berry's Cyclopedia of Heraldry : " Glover, London. Sa, a
Chev. Erm. between 3 Crescents argent. Granted to Thomas Glover,
of London, in 1604."

Another writer gives an account of the Somerset Herald, and gives
him the Christian name of Thomas. In some places, where the name
is Robert in the index, on looking at the page, as in the Gentleman's
Magazine, the article in relation to him is under the name of Thomas.
There is a mystery in this spionyme of names as applied to the Somer-
set Herald by different writers, that has not yet been elucidated ;
but the accounts are correctly transcribed by the different authorities.

Hugh James Rose, D.D., Principal of Kings College, London, in
his latest Heraldic Dictionary, writes thus : — Glover, Thomas. A
Herald and heraldic writer, born in A.D. 1543, at Ashford in Kent.
He was iirst made Portcullis, and afterwards, in 1571, Somerset
Herald. Li 1582 he attended Lord Willoughby with the Order of
the Garter to Frederick of Denmark. In 1584 he waited as
Clarencieux to the Earl of Derby, with that Order to the King of
France. He wrote de NohUitate vel CiviU, and a Catalogue of Hon-
our, published by his nephew, Mr. Thomas Milles ; the former in
1608, the latter in 1610, fol. His answer to the Bishop of Rose's
book, in which Mary Queen of Scots' claim to the Crown of England
was asserted, was never published. He assisted Lord Camden in
making out his Pedigrees for his Britannia, and communicated to Dr.
David Powell a copy of the History of Cambria, translated by H.
Lloyd. He made a collection of the Inscriptions upon the Funeral
Monuments in Kent; and in A.D. 1584 he drew up a History of
Herewood, with a Survey of Herewood Castle in Yorkshire. He
died in 1588. His Ordinary of Arms was augmented and improved
by Edmonson, who published it in his first Body of Heraldry."

The following references to Robert Glover are extracted from a
work called the " Collectanea Topographica Genealogica." They re-
late principally to the different families of whom Robert Glover
assisted to make out pedigrees and genealogies.

" To Robert Glover, alias the Somerset Herald, celebrated as a
powerful defender of the art of Heraldry and Antiquarian Truth.
Prom a thorough examination of his old writings, a man of great
honor and benignity, of a noble nature and indefatigable labor ; of
easy manners, living honestly and uprightly before his successors.

" This sad monument was erected by a loving Nephew, Thomas
Milles, to his most beloved maternal uncle.

" This Robert was born in Ashford, in Kent, a market town, of free
parents, was liberally educated and became eminently learned in
many things, but was particularly well versed and skilful in Heraldry.
He had only one brother, William, from Thomas and Mildred, and
also five sisters. He left five surviving children by his wife Elizabeth
Flowers, viz., three sons and two daughters. Robert Glover dying
as he had lived, lived as if he was about to die. His life closed with
death, and he departed piously and calmly united in Christ."

of his blameless life before all; Thomas Milles, a Nephew sorrowfal
erects this momiment of Love to his most beloved Maternal Uncle.

" This Robert was born in Ashforcl, a market town in Kent, of re-
spectable parents. He was liberally educated, and died eminently
skilled in many things, but remarkably well versed in Heraldry. His
only brother, William, was born of Thomas and Mildred, but he had
five sisters. He left only five surviving children, viz., three sons
and two daughters by his wife Elizabeth Flower, Most thankful
for his worth, he may have reached the 10th of April, Anno 1588, in
the 45th year of his age. He has exchanged a life suddenly broken
off, for a devout and tranquil death in Christ. So when he was of
all the most learned, he became one of the most happy."

The translator was obliged to pass over some sentences, which were
obscure, and could not be made into good English.

Thus it appears that the parents of this Robert Glover were
Thomas Glover, of Ashford in the County of Kent, England, and
-Mildred liis wife. Thus :

Robert, b. 1543, m. Elizabeth Flower, died April 10, 1588.

"William, b. 1545, m. Anne , d. Dec. 17, 1603, London, a3. 58.

T. Moule published a work on Genealogies in 16G0, in which he
motices Robert Glover thus : —

"Robert Glover wrote de Nobilitate Politica vel Civili, of 190
pages." (An extract therefrom in Latin, accompanied by the following
remarks of the author, T. Moule.) He says, referring to the Latin ex-
tract, " It is only a portion of the original of the next article, which was
compiled by Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. A man fully qualified by industry to fulfil the laborious
duties of his office. He died on the 10th of April, 1588, and was
buried at Cripplcgate Church, where, on the south side, is a monu-
ment to his memory. His authority in Genealogy and Heraldry is
much relied on by the officers of Arms at the present day.

"Thomas Milles re\dsed this work in 1608, and in 1610 got it
printed. The title-page is cngi-aved by Renald Elstrache. At the
top are the Royal Arms and supports. The lower part is occupied as
a group of three figures. Honor, Nobilitas, Pax. It is inscribed,

THE GLOVERS OP ENGLAND. 1<,)

Catalogue of Honour, London, printed by William Jaggard, The
Epistle is dedicated to Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury, and Henry
Howard, Earl of Northamptonshire. It explains that his intention
in publishing this work is to revive the name and memory of Robert
Glover, his uncle, who had taken such uncommon pains to clear the
descents and Pedigrees of our Kings and Nobility. At the death
of Mr. Glover, his nephew, with the assistance of several friends,
undertook to translate and reduce it to method, acknowledging, at
. the same' time, the aid he received from the good antiquaries of that
day, viz.. Lord William Howard, nephew to the Earl of Northamp-
ton, Sir Robert Cotton, Robert Brooke, Clerk to the Council, Wil-
liam Camden, Clarencieux, and Nicholas Charles, Lancaster Herald,
Michael Hennage, keeper of the Records in the Tower, Thomas Tal-
bot and Matthew Patterson."

The Epistle contains six pages, according to J. Leslie, who speaks
thus of another of Mr. Glover's manuscripts, written in Latin, but
never published.

" The Title and interest of the most excellent Mary Queen of
Scots. The defence to that Title, and of the right of Queen Eliza-
beth to the English Crown against the plea set up by Bishop Ross,
and in answer to the claim of the House, was considered by Sir
William Dugdale as one of Glover's best performances."

Thomas Milles, Esq., of Davington Hall, near Fevcrsham in Kent,
the translator and publisher of this work, was the son of Richard
Milles, of Ashford, by Joann, the sister of Robert Glover, Somerset
Herald. He appears to be a man of some consideration as well as
learning, and discharged a trust reposed in him by Queen Elizabeth,
on a mission in wliich he was sent to King Henry the Fourth of
France with credit and distinction. He afterwards held the follow-
ing offices as custoder of tlie Port of London, Keeper of the Roche
Castle and Esquire to the Body of King James the First of England.

Upon the death of his uncle, Mr. Glover, it appears he first ap-
plied to George Earl of Shrewsbury, respecting the manuscripts of
that industrious Herald. There is a letter extant, the copy of which
is in the Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. 90, part 1st, p. 595, from
Thomas Milles to that nobleman in behalf of the widow of Somerset,
left with five children, offering the manuscripts to his Lordship in
consideration of an annuity of one hundred pounds sterling per an-
num. They were afterwards published by Lord Burleigh.

20 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

A William Glover was married to Anne Gaveiard, in Raineliill,
November 6, 1578, and may have been the one whose history follows.
He could not have been the father of Thomas Glover of Rainehilb
as Thomas himself was married only fourteen years after, in 1594,
but there is evidence that he was collaterally related.

He had a Coat of Arms granted him in A.D. 1602. It is said to
be the same arms which Fuller finds recorded in the Worthies of
Middlesex, granted to William Glover, Sheriff, at an earlier date.

The arms granted to William Glover of London, " Arg. a Chev.
Ermine betwixt tliree Cross Crosslets," were granted to him by Queen
Elizabeth one year before his death.

William Glover was buried in London, Colman Street Ward.

A fair monument in chancel is erected to his memory.

" Here lyeth in peace the body of Sir William Glover, Knight, late
Citizen and Alderman of London, who for his many good gifts both in
sincere religion, Wisdom and Gravity wherewith he was very plenti-
fully endowed and graced, was elected Sheriff of London, and served
the same in 1611. He had lived in good name and fame Fifty Eight
years, and very blessedly departed this life the 17 of December, 1603'
Leaving two sons, Thomas and William, and five daughters, viz.,
Anne, married to Barne Roberts of Willesden, in the County of Mid-
dlesex, Esq. ; Susan, Elizabeth, Mary and Alice, behind him to mourn
the loss of so loving a Father. To whose deceased memory the
Lady Anne Glover, the most Sorrowful Widow of the deceased said
Sir William, lamenting his death and unrecoverable loss, at her own
charge erected this monument in testification of her love and duty."

Li 1612, Dame Anne Glover, the widow of Sir William Glover,
late of London, gave a stock of £10 to the poor of the Parish.

In 1660, William Glover, son to Sir William Glover, gave to the
Hospital in London, Two Hundred Pounds.

Thomas Glover, son of Sir William Glover and the Lady Anne his
wife, was born in London, was created Knight, married Jane Roberts,
daughter of Francis Roberts, Esq., of Willesden in Middlesex. He
died in London, and his widow, the Lady Jane Glover, married

Sir Thomas Glover, having purchased Franklin's estate, in Ashton
Underhill, he, with Mr. Wakeman, took a fresh grant of the manor
from the Crown in the reign of King James I., of England, and after-
wards by deed, reserving to himself and his heirs certain manorial
rights over his own lands, conveyed all other manorial rights over
the residue of the manor to Mr. Wakeman ; and Henry Wakeman,
of Bcckford, Esq., is the descendant of that Wakeman from whose
son is this account derived. See Beckford.

Ashton Underhill. One part of this Parish lies in the Hundred of
Tibblestone, the other in the upper divisions of Tewksbury, seven
miles distant, from which it comes six miles North-East from Tewks-
bury and sixteen North-East from Gloucester. It was anciently a
member of the Manor of Beckford (and by corruption, Aston). King
Henry YIH. granted this Manor to Sii- Richard Lee, who had two
daughters co-heiresses, who made a division of their estates, and the
Manor of Beckford, of which Aston was a part, was sold to Richard
Franklyn and Edward Wakeman. Therefore, from Sir Richard
Franklyn to Sir Thomas Glover, and from Edward Wakeman to

Lady Jane Glover was the wife of Sir Thomas Glover, Knight,
of Hayes Park, in the County of Middlesex. After the death of Sir
Thomas Glover, she married the second time to George Purefoy,
Esq., the eldest of Wadley in the County of Berkshire.

In the Church of Feecham, on a black grave-stone before the com-

ROBERT GLOVER, HELLIDON, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.

Hellidon, in ancient records Elidon, may possibly be derived from
the .Saxon Holb, sleep, and sundown is at least descriptive of the
situation of the village.

The Lordship contained about one thousand five hundred and ten
acres. Part is old enclosure, and the open fields were enclosed by
act of Parliament, in 14 George III., 1774.

Sir Thomas Wenham, of Carswell, County of Oxon, sold Hellidon
in 1556, and died 22 July, 19 of Elizabeth, 1577. Sir Thomas Wen-
ham and Ursula his wife sold this manor, in 1556, to Robert Glover
of Hellidon, Yeoman, who died the year following, 1557, seized of
a capital messauge and seventeen vergates and a quarter of land in
Hellidon, leaving William Glover his son and heir to the inheritance,
aged 20 years.

This estate has been alienated in parcels, but a considerable por-
tion is now vested in the devisees of the late Joseph Ashley, of Ash-
ley Ledges.

William Glover, son of William Glover, Esq., and Anne ,

was married to Elizabeth Harlakenden, the daughter and co-heir of
Henry Harlakenden, Esq., had one daughter Susan Glover, who mar-
ried to John Philpot, Esq., Norroy, Somerset Herald, and had one
daughter, Susan Philpot.

The monumental inscription reads thus :

" Here lies the Bodye of Susan Philpot, late wife and Widow of
John Philpot, Esq. Norroy, Somerset Herald, in the Chancel of this

forty-third of Elizabeth (1601), obtained a release from Thomas
Wightman, son and licir to the said George, of all his right and title

J. Bernard Burke, in his Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gen-
try of Great Britain and Ireland, published in London in 1853, com-
prising, as he affirms, " a faithfid and worthy record of that class of
Gentlemen who, though indistinguishable by hereditary titles, pos-
sess an undeniable right, from antiquity of race, extent of property,
and brilliancy of achievements, to hold foremost rank among the les-
ser nobility of Europe," under article Glover, gives the following
names, with the figures attached to them, which refer to the descrip-
tion of their estates, the manner of their receiving and holding them,

Copy of lineage, as given by Burke :

" John Glover, the first of the family who settled in Ireland early
in the 17th Century, was a near relation of Robert Glover, Esq., the
famous Genealogist of the 16th century, and Somerset Herald at
Arms. He was a captain in command of a large body of troops
under one of the Percivals, and greatly distinguished himself by his
obstinate and gallant defence of the Bath at Arms ; which he sue.
ceeded in holding against the attacks of an immense body of Irish^
who continued to check his small and gallant band for three days ;
when they were compelled to retire with much slaughter. For his
remarkable bravery and success on this, as well as for other services
in the local wars of the times, he obtained possession, of extensive
and valuable estates in the Counties of Cork and Limerick, in Ire-
land. He married a Miss Mills, sister of Thomas Mills, Esq., and
had issue, one son and thi-ee daughters, viz. :

"1. Edward, b. 1668; d. 24th April, 1753; married, in 1695, to
Eleanor, daughter of James Barry, Esq., of Ballinvauve, and had
issue four sons — 1. Edward, b. 1696; d. April, 1747, a. 45 years;
m. a Miss Quinn, and had issue only one daughter, who m. her first
cousin, Philip Barry, of Ballinvauve. 2. James, of Fourmile Water,
b. 1705; d. April, 1753, 3d. 48 years; m. a Miss Maunseli, and died
leaving no issue. His estate devolved on his next brother. 3. Thomas
Glover, of whom presently. 4. John Glover, m. a Miss Pole, of
Kinsale, and d. without issue."

Thomas Glover, the third son of Edward and Eleanor (Barry)
Glover, b. in 1712, d. 22 April, 1772, a). 60 years, succeeded to the
Mount Glover estate. He m. April 1, 1751, Mary, only daughter
and heiress of William Martin, Esq., of Corroden, by his wife Anne
Purdon, of Bally Clough Castle. Thomas Glover married, 2d, Mary,
only daughter of Edward Brailing, Esq., of Dublin, widow of Chas,
Maccarty, Es(]., of Bathduff. By the first wife only he had issue —
tlu-ee sons and three daughters. The 2d, and eventually only sur-
viving son, was James Glover, Escj., who succeeded to the estate of
Mount Glover; m. Mildred, eldest daughter of Robert Freeman,
Esq., of Ballindale Castle, by his wife Mildred, daughter of William
Seeley, Esq., by his wife Mildred, daughter of Col. Frederick Mul-
lens, direct ancestor of Lord Yantry. By this lady Mr. James
Glover had fourteen children, as follows :

THE GLOVERS OP ENGLAND. 27

Richard Glover, an eminent Poet, Merchant, and Member of Parlia-
ment, was born in St. Martin's Lane, Cannon St. London, in 1712,
and died there in 1785, £e. 73 years. He was the son of Mr. Rich-
ard Glover, an eminent merchant of London, who was a brother of
Phillips Glover, Esq., of the family of Robert Glover, the Somerset
Herald, and bore the same arms.

This Richard Glover acquired a distinguished reputation as a poet.
He composed an epic poem called Leonidas, and published it in
1737. In 1739 he published a poem entitled the " Progress of Com-
merce." In 1742 he was elected by the merchants of London to con-
duct an application complaining of the neglect of trade. He made
a speech at the Bar of the House of Commons, on the subject, which
was highly applauded. It was afterwards printed.

In 1751 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the office of Cham-
berlain of London. He wrote the Tragedy of Boadicea, which was
performed at the Drury-Lane Theatre in London, in 1753, with good
success. In 1761 he wrote another tragedy. His Medea, whic'i
was imitated from Euripides and Seneca, appeared in 1761. Hi-
rare wit and humor is thus referred to on the occasion of the Degree
of LL.D. being conferred at Cambridge on Sir W. Calvert, Lord
Mayor of London, who, in his address before that honorable assem-
bly, says : " I remember a mournful example in the fate of an ingeni-
ous Author and Merchant. The Poet ruined the Merchant. Had
this distinguished Genius studied the Mercantile more, and the Epic
less, he might have been an Alderman, although that Right Worship-
ful (Bodye) Corps would perhaps have apprehended dangerous con-
sequences from admitting so great a Wit among them."

May 21, 1737, he married Hannah Nunn, daughter of Jonathan
Nunn, Esq., a lady said to possess a handsome fortune. The Manor
of Passamere descended to her, being sole heir to her father. Seve-
ral other estates were possessed by her as her inheritance.

The Manor of Passamere took its name from the Passamere family,
who settled here in the third year of King Henry IH. (1219). It
was sold to Mr. Pink, and by him to Jonathan Nunn, Esq., who
died in 1630, and his widow enjoyed it after him. It then descended
to their daughter and sole heir, Hannah Nunn, who married Richard
Glover, Esq., of London, author of Leonidas.

Richard Glover, of London, Esq., the Poet, was in possession of
Downe Court Manor, in 1785. From him it descended to his sou
Richard, who was in possession of it in 1788 and afterwards.

The portrait of Mr. Richard Glover, merchant-poet, was engi*aved

" The Parish of Waldingham was in the possession of a Mr. Richard
Glover in 1809 — two farm houses and two cottages. The mansion
house is now a farm house known by the name of Fickleshole, and near
it is a considerable pond, which from the scarcity of water on the
high grounds of Chelsham and the country thereabouts, appears to
have been resorted to by the neighbors so long ago as the 16th year
of King Edward IL (1323). A deed of that date in Mr. Glover's
hand describes land as abutting on a highway which led to a place
called Fickles-hole-water. The demesne lands called Fickleshole
consist of seven hundred and two acres, as it appears by a plan and
the deed above mentioned, and were of consequence enough to de-
serve particular attention, which Mr. Glover has caused to be done
according to the papers in his hands." Co. of Surrey, Vol. ii. p. 423,
Mr. Glover has in his possession a quantity of brass and Roman
coins from the lower empire, which were found in this Parish about
fifty years ago (1809), preserved in an earthen vessel, which had
been broken by the wheel of a carriage on the highway leading from
the village of Nutficld towards Ham. He is also in possession of
some original papers addressed to Audsley (1809).

Richard Glover, born in 1700, wife Mary, died Dec. 20th, 1768,
ae. 68 years. Mary, wife of Richard Glover, died July 14, 1775, £e.
71 years; born A.D. 1704.

Henry Glover, of Worcestershire. His name appears among a
list of benefactors. "Henry Glover of this Parish (old Swinston),
gave four hundred pounds, which have been laid out in Lands and
vested in the Governors of the Free Grammar School in Stourbridge,
in trust, that out of tlie Rents, they do cause six boys to be instructed
in English Writing and Arithmetic at the Free School for six years

was extracted. He is probably the Henry who was in Lancashii-e
in 1572, and married there about that time.

GLOVERS OF RAINHILL PARISH, PRESCOT,
LANCASHHIE, ENGLAND.

Lancashire is one of the Northern counties of England, and the
town of Prescot, in that County, is one of its most extensive towns.
It is bounded on the south by the River Mersey ; on the west, by
Walton Parish ; on the north-north-west by Ormskirk Parish ; and
on the east, by the Parish of Warrington. Its extreme length is
twelve miles, from Dalton on the south to Mumford on the north ;
its breadth is eight miles. It is situated in the western part of the
county, about ten miles from Liverpool in the same county, and two
hundred and twenty-five miles from London, by railway. It is at
the present time divided into Parishes, one of which is Rainhill, the
birth-place of John Glover, who in 1630 emigrated, with others
under Gov. Winthrop, to New England, and became the American
ancestor of numerous descendants. In 18th Edward III. William
Daniell held the towns of Button, Rainhill and Eccleston. His pos-
session of them was temporary, and in 12 Henry IV. they were held
by Alan de Norrys, under the Baron of Holton. The Ecclestons for
a long time were Lords of the Manor of Barton head, in Button.
The family of Norrys acquired Rainhill in the time of Edward H., and
held the Manors, of Button, Rainhill and Eccleston, under Thomas,
Earl of Lancaster, who held the Buchy in the time of Henry VIH.,
and sold portions of it in the time of Elizabeth to Thomas Glover,
Esq., father of the American emigrant. Thomas Glover conveyed
these lands to his eldest son, Mr. John Glover, of Rainhill, afterwards
of Borchester and Boston — who, in 1652, by deed of gift, conveyed
them to his eldest son and heir apparent, Mr. Thomas Glover, of
London, merchant.

The Glovers were not early in Lancashire. The County history
does not give any account of them until nearly the close of the six-
teenth century.

There is a record among some old manuscripts in the Tower of

30 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

London, of a William Glover who owned lands at Derby, and a
Thomas Glover who owned lands at Rainhill, in Prescot, Lancashire,
in the sixteenth century, but the particulars in relation to them, which
were undoubtedly given there in detail, were not communicated.

These three marriages are recorded on the Parish Records, which,
if faithfully communicated, appear to be the first notice of them
there — viz. :

" Henry Glover was married to , 22 Dec, 1574.

" William Glover and Anne Goverard were married the 6 Nov.,
1578.

"Thomas Glover and Margery Deane were married the 10 Feb,,
1594."

From what county these individuals had their origin, or what line
they connect with, has not been ascertained. It is confidently
believed, however, that they were led to the northern counties by the |
religious persecution which occurred about the middle of the six- |
,teenth century, and by which some of the families of Glover and j
otKers suffered severely. I

Henry, the first above recorded, appears to have remained and
,«ettled there, some of whose descendants are still living in the same |
i)lace. j

Of William, the records give nothing further, and evidence seems i
to indicate tliat he settled in London, and was the William Glover, |
dyer and Alderman, afterwards Sir William Glover — wife Anne,
who after his elevation became the Lady Anne, and distinguished her-
self by her benevolence.

Thomas Glover, whose marriage is given above, remained and
lived in RainhilL He purchased lands there of Thomas Lancaster,
Esq., son of the Earl of that Duchy, and of Edward Eccleston, Esq.,
in Eccleston ; also of Thomas Gerard, Esq., of William Woodfall, in
Appleton, and of Lyman Garnet, Esq., and became the possessor of
several estates there, all of which he conveyed, before his decease, to
his eldest son John Glover. There is a link wanting in the genea-
logical chain, which would give a certainty to the family he con-
nects with, as the names of the parents of Thomas Glover, of Rain-
hill, have never been obtained. Tradition says they originated in
some of the oldest counties of England, as Kent or Warwickshii-e.
Heralds confii'm this by the armorial bearings they grant to the fami-
lies of this line, and from all that has been gathered the strongest

presumption, aided by tradition, evinces and determines his relation-
ship and connection with the family of Robert, alias Thomas Glover,
Somerset Herald, whose parents were from Coventry in Warwick-
shire, and from Ashford in Kent — either by direct descent or by col-
lateral ties of consanguinity ; and the same evidence obtains in the
belief that there was a relationship or kinship existing between
Robert the martyr, of 1555, and the Somerset Herald, who died in
London in 1588.

There is a tradition which has come down among some branches
of his descendants, from, father to son through long generations, which
fixes their original county to be that of Warwick, and the city of
Coventry, in that County, one of their original places of abode. This
tradition has been attested and confirmed by Heralds. Charles L.
Cole, Esq., who was an Heraldic transcriber and writer, attested this
assertion in the year 1804, to some of the descendants of Mr.
John Glover, of Dorchester and Boston, whose history was well
known in London, from his connection with the London Company
and other institutions and societies there. This descendant, who had
at that time a personal interview with Mr. Cole, and a conversation
on Glover origin and Glover genealogies, was informed that a pedi-
gree of Glover had been written out, reaching back many centuries,
by a distinguished genealogist of his name and kin, in England ; and
that a transcript of it could be obtained by applying to the Herald's
College, at London. The application has never been made.

The name of Thomas Glover as a signer to this will is obliterated
or destroyed by mould, so that it cannot be read without difficulty.

The portion to his son John, who was his eldest, cannot be read,
but it appears from other evidence that he gave him his estates in
Rainhill, Eccleston, Knawlesby, and elsewhere in Lancashire County,
who afterwards conveyed them, in 1652, to his son Thomas Glover.

(4) John emigrated to_N. England and settled in Dorchester in 1630.

(5) Henry also, his second son, came over about 1640, and settled in
Medfield — had grants of land in Dedham as early as 1640, and died
in Medfield in 1655.

(8) William Glover, son of Thomas and Margaret (Deane) Glover.

There is a notice of him in 1652, in which he is styled a mercer,
or dealer in silk, and in another place a merchant, and lived in Whis-
ton, Lancashire Co., England ; but no record appears of his having
remained in Rainhill after his arrival at the age of manhood.

A tradition of him has reached the present generation, or some
branches of it, and which is confirmed by references, that he also
came to New England, and was in Dorchester at one time towards
the close of the 1 7th century.

34 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

The precise date has not been given by those who assert the fact,
but it is certain that his name appears on a document called Glover's
Agreement, dated at Dorchester in 1680. It relates to a division
of Newbury Farm, which belonged to the heirs of Mr. John Glover,
who was his eldest brother, and it appears that William was an act-
ing attorney on the share of one of his nephews. Information from
other sources renders it certain that he was in New England at one
time, and at Dorchester with his eldest brother. Tradition says that
" he was the owner of lands there, and intended to settle in Boston,
and that he returned to England to make arrangements for that pur-
pose. He was requested by his brothers to gather up and get all the I
copies of manuscripts which related to the Glover pedigree, and in
relation to their ancestral line, which it was said had been written
out and were preserved by one of their own progenitors, and could i
be easily obtained." It was feared that those who had come to New |
England would lose, in their succeeding generations, a knowledge of j
their ancestry, which the brothers had a great desire to perpetuate, j
This William Glover was instructed to obtain not only the Glover j
pedigree as far back as it could be traced, or had been traced, that it i
might be perpetuated among the generations in New England, but all ;
copies of records and documents which related in any way to the |
grants of lands originally laid out to Glover proprietors who had
settled in Dorchester and Boston. The tradition continues that " liav- i
ing accomplished this mission fully and gathered up all his treasures, |
he embarked again for New England, but never arrived. The vessel |
in which he was coming, destined for Boston, was wrecked on a rock j
near the coast of Maine, in Portland harbor, and the passengers were i
all lost." How many of the crew of the ship escaped to tell the sad i
story, or if any, has not been ascertained, but the fate of the ship |
was in some way communicated to the family of Glovers who lived \
in Dorchester, and were looking anxiously for his arrival. The tra- i
dition closes with this remark : " The rock on which they were I
wrecked was named, from that time, ' Glover's Eock,' and has
borne that name to this day " — meaning the time of the last narrator.
[Note. — The foregoing tradition has been transmitted down
through the descending generations in the line of Mr. Nathaniel
Glover, of Dorchester, commonly distinguished as " Nathaniel Senior,"
and is probably known in other branches — but has reached the sixth
generation from Nathaniel to his son Thomas, and from Thomas to
his sons.]

THE GLOVERS OF ENGLAND. 35

There is a Glover's Rock situated midway between Cape Small
Point and Cape Elizabeth, about three leagues at sea, near the coast
of Maine, midway of the entrance of Portland harbor. The date or
year when it took that name has not been ascertained. It is laid
down on all the charts of that part of the coast, and is represented
by ship masters as being a very dangerous place and much to be
avoided. Sea captains are familiar with the name of this rock. But
only one historian has noticed it. Williamson, in his History of
Maine, Vol. i, p. 33, gives the following account, which proves its
identity, but does not give any history or dates respecting it.

" Glover's Rock. Cape Small Point, lying about two leagues south-
eastwardly of New Meadows River, at its mouth, has a high ground
and rocky shore. Above this Point on the north-west and below the
west extreme of the Point is Lovell's {' Glover's ') Rock, which is one
mile west by north of Seguin Light House." 11 ''^'2960

He further writes that " one mile west by north-west from Glover's
Rock is Small Point Ledge." Thus it appears that the Rock on the
coast of Maine, which has been above described by Williamson, was
anciently called Lovell's, and subsequently changed to " Glover's "
Rock, and this inference is identified with the incidents before related.
Efforts have been unceasingly made, and many letters written, to
procure more information respecting the name of the ship in which
Mr. William Glover sailed, the time of the wreck, and other circum-
stances connected with the disaster, but they have proved unavailing
as to any further knowledge. It is said that the disappointment to
those who were looking for the arrival of this ship was very gi-eat,
and irreparable in some respects to his relatives and friends. The
last notice of him in England is in 1664, at the time of his marriage
at Rainhill.

(9) George Glover, another son of Thomas and Margaret (Deane)
Glover, was first a schoolmaster at Liverpool. He built a house

there, married Margaret , and had two children, Jane and

Ellen. He was afterwards a tenant on Moore's Rental. Moore
writes of him thus : " Mr. George Glover is a very honest man, and
has a good woman for a wife. Use him and his family well whenever
it may please God they shall have occasion to use you, that when
they can see virtue rewarded it may encourage their honesty. His
rental is worth out of lease Seven Pounds per annum, and if it be
fined tlu-ee times, it is worth fifty Pounds per annum, and to

his children very well. The lives at present are Jane, Ellen, and
his wife Margaret. The second Eent liens at Christmas, and for
other Covenants occurring to the Rents of the new Tenants I built
the Gable ends of the house — cost Ten Pounds. Rent at present —
five Shillings. Edward Moore, Moore s Rental.''

The Free school at Liverpool no longer exists. The building was
destroyed in 1673. It was a great piece of antiquity — once a Chapel?
then a Free school, at the west end whereon, next the River, stood
the Statue of St. Nicholas. Moore alludes to the former schoolmas-
ter, Mr. George Glover, and Bishop Cartwright states that after Mr.
George Glover vacated, he licensed Mr. Thomas Bryant to be the
schoolmaster of the Free school in Liverpool. It will be recollected j
that George Glover, by his father's will, was to receive but one hun-
dred and fifty pounds.

There is a notice of him on the records of Harvard College, in I
Cambridge, N, E. Among the donors of cash gifts which were applied I
to the erection of College buildings, credit is given to Mr. George
Glover, of Liverpool, Eng,, of Two Pounds. Another notice, from |
another source, informs us that the gift was collected by Rev. Joseph I
Glover, of Sutton, in Surrey, who was shortly to embark for Cam- |
bridge in New England, with funds for the College lately established
there. It was entrusted to his care — and although he never reached
the place of his destination, having died on his passage in 1639, the
property collected for Harvard College was faithfully transmitted
and recorded.

1766. Power of Attorney was granted to George Glover of Poole,
in the County of Dorset, England, by Mary Dawes, widow, and
Mary Dawes, Jr., of Worgate in the same County, bearing date
March 7, 1766, witnessed and certified by Robert Harris, Mayor of
Wareham, and John Glover, Jr., of the borough of Wareham, in Dor-
set, England. Both the Power of Attorney and the Certificate are
recorded in Boston on the Registry of Deeds for Suffolk County, Vol.
108, p. 263.

There may have been a relationship existing between the above-
named Glovers and those who settled in New England, but no direct
evidence has yet ajjpeared to substantiate the belief.

The following is a copy of the Power of Attorney and Certificate
alluded to.

(11) Peter Glover, of Rainhill, youngest son of Thomas and Mar-
garet (Deane) Glover, was born 22 March, 1615 ; died there 26 April,
1700, in his 86th year. He married and settled in Rainhill, and
had children. Several of his descendants are at the present time

living there, and are the owners of estates. Peter Glover, of the
seventh generation, his wife Agnes, and cliildren, are residents there.
He is a descendant in a direct line from Peter the elder.

Some of the descendants of the above emigrated to the United
States about the year 1812, and settled in New Jersey, of whom an
account will be given in another place, under the head of the New
Jersey Glovers.

MRS. MARGARET GLOVER.

She was left a widow at the decease of her husband, Mr. Thomas
Glover, of Rainhill. She was co-executor with her son John Glover to
the Will of Thomas Glover, and nothing further of her appears on the
Parish Records to indicate the time or place of her death. Her death
is not recorded on the records at Rainhill, if they have been faith-
fully transcribed. But records of Kent County furnish some evi-
dence that she married a second time to Mr. William Glover, of Mil-
dred, in the County of Kent, and died there in 1654, aged 79 years,
and that she was buried in the Church-yard of St. Mildred. The
Church of St. Mildred is situated at the south-west extremity of the
city, near the old Castle and River Stour. In this Church-yard is a
memorial, partly obliterated, of

" Mr. William Glover, Gentleman, deceased in 1 6 — .

" Mrs. Margaret Glover, his wife, died , 1654, aged 79 years."

Born, therefore, in or about 1574 or 5, and would have been 19
years old at the time of her first marriage with Mr. Thomas Glover.

The will of Mr. Thomas Glovci', of Rainhill, provides for another
child, whom it appears he anticipated as an event not at all doubtful.

It has been suggested by some who were making searches for
Glovers in England, that the Mr. Glover of Dorchester and Boston
had a brother Nathaniel. If this conjecture is true, he must either have
been posthumous, or, which is more probable, only a half brother,
and child of his mother by her second marriage with William Glover,
of Mildred, County of Kent. The name of Nathaniel has been
found but once, in all previous and after searchings. The following
memorial is recorded :

" Here lyes the Bodye of Mrs. Lydia Glover, widow of Mr. Na-
thaniel Glover, heretofore of this Parish, but late of Wood Church
in the County of Kent, Gentleman, deceased. Which said Lydia
died on the 21 day of January, 1764, in the 69th year of her age.

Also the bodye of Lj^clia Glover, Spinster, only child of the above-
named Mr. Nathaniel and Lydia Glover his wife, who died on the
5 of February, 1766, in the 35 year of her age " — (born, therefore,
in 1732).

This line of Nathaniel became extinct in 1766, at the decease of
his only child Lydia. The time of his death has not been ascertained-

JOHN GLOVER, OF PRESCOT, ENGLAND, AND OF DOR-
CHESTER AND BOSTON IN NEW ENGLAND.

(4) John Glover, the eldest son of Thomas and Margery (Deane)
Glover, was born at Rainliill Parish, Prescot, Lancaster County^
England, August 12, 1600, and died in Boston, in New England,
" 11, 12, 1653," in his fifty-fourth year.

By his father's will he came into possession of large estates in
England, situated in Rainhill, Eccleston, Knowlesby, and other places.
Being the eldest son he inherited a double portion by right of pri-
mogeniture, and was named as an executor, with his mother, to carry
out the provisions of that will — although at that time (1619) he was
not of full age.

He appears to have attained the age of manhood at Rainhill, liv-
ing on his estates there, and was married to Anna , about 1625.

He had three childi*en born and baptized in that Parish, the last in
[ 1629. Previous to that, in 1628, his name appears on the Records
i of the "London Company," organized at London in 1628. He was a
I member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Lon-
! don, established there at a very early date, and was a Captain of that
company. He was also a member of a Lodge of Freemasons, and
I in fellowship with them before his emigration. He was sometimes
} called " the Worshipful Mr. Glover."

j So much has been said and written of the London Company,
i formed in England in 1628, its origin, its objects, present and pro-
' spective — of the early planting of New England and the worthy gen-
i tlemen who joined themselves to that Company ; its whole history lias
; been so many times brought before the historic reader in the various
j accounts of New England, that it may be deemed superfluous to at-
j tempt further notice of this matter, in these memorials. But as the

following pages are designed to notice and give an account of one of
the members of that Company who came to New England, and for
the benefit of whose descendants this work has been chiefly pre-
pared, it is hoped that a few dates and facts selected from some of
the most faithful and reliable writers on that subject, and which will
help to explain the condition, motives, and social position of their
honored ancestor (Mr. John Glover), will be generously allowed by
them.

In 1628, three years after his marriage, the name of John Glover
appears on the records of the London Company, which was being
organized at London for the purpose of emigrating to New England.

The gentlemen who composed this Company, which had been
formed in London, and who afterwards emigrated to New England
and became the first planters of the Colony there, it is recorded were
strictly and devoutedly religious Non-conformists. They were styled
Puritans, from their strict adherence to the doctrines of religion^,
and from their having set themselves apart to promote a holy work —
that of planting a colony for religious growth and freedom. They
were all members of some church in England previous to their em-
barkation, and those of their company who came out under Gov.
Winthrop, met together at Plymouth, a seaport town in England, and
formed themselves into a church body gathered from other churches.
They elected their ministers, and assembled themselves together at
the New Hospital in Plymouth, the Sabbath previous to their depar-
ture for New England, and bound themselves together in Clu^istian
unity and love. A sermon was preached to them by the Rev. John
White, and instructions given in relation to the future course to be
pursued. The ship which was to take them to New England was at
this time waiting in the Downs, to receive them and bear them to
their destination.

It is recorded, that the Dorchester Company came in the 3Ianj
and John, which set sail from England the 20th of March, 1629-307
commanded by Capt. Squcb, and who is said to have arrived on the
coast of North America the 31st day of May, 1630. The manner in
which he treated his passengers, and deceived them by putting them
on shore at Nantasket, when he had promised to land them at
Charlestown, is too well known to require any detail here. Some
of them took boats and fomid their way to Charlestown ; and others^

JOHN GLOVER, OP DORCHESTER. 43

who remained at Nantasket, found out a way to Dorchester Neck^
adjoining a place called by the Indians Mattapan, to which they gave
the name of New Dorchester, and commenced a settlement about the
first of June. The place was afterwards called Dorchester Planta-
tion. The same writer says our people were settled here a month
before Gov. Wintlu-op, and the ships that came with him, arrived.

Mr. Glover came to New England in the Mary and John. It has
been questioned by some as to the ship in which he came over, pro-
bably on account of a note of Mr. Frothingham, in his History of
Charlestown, by which it might appear that he arrived earlier. Froth-
ingham, in a list of those who stayed and became inhabitants of
Charlestown in the year 1629, gives the names of Increase Nowell;
Esq., Mr. William Aspinwall, Mr. Richard Palsgi-ave, Edward Con-
verse, William Penn, William Hudson, William Blackenbury, and
Mr. John Glover. He also says that Mr. Glover removed to Dor-
chester, where he became a prominent man, being a Selectman
and a Representative from 1637 to 1652. He also wi-ites that
Mr. Glover died in 1654, which does not agree with Dorchester
Town Records. The above from Frothingham has led many to doubt
of his coming over in the Mary and John with the Dorchester Com-
pany ; but he was always associated with them, his interests were
identified with theirs, and he served them in a public capacity until
his death, although he had removed to Boston. His name stands
among a list of inhabitants at the incorporation of the town of Dor-
chester in 1631, according to Blake's Annals. When the Church
was re-organized there (in 1636, Richard Mather, Pastor), he and his
wife Anna were among the first signers to the covenant. He may
have remained in Charlestown until that time, but there is no evi-
dence of it.

He brought over with him a great number of cattle, and all the
provisions and implements, with men servants, to set up and carry on
the tanning trade, according to the laws and regulations of the Lon-
don Company requiring each member to establish some trade on his
estate. He selected the business of tanning, and was the first one
of the Company who carried on that trade in the Colony. He estab-
lished it first at Dorchester, very probably as early as the incorpora-
tion of the town. The pits still remain to be seen on the land of one
of his descendants. He afterwards established the business in Bos-
ton, and left it in his will to his second son. A very reliable writer

44 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

on the early history of New Englaud asserts the following in rela-
tion to Dorchester : " The first inhabitants of Dorchester were a
godly and religious people, and many of them persons of note and
figure, being distinguished by the title of Master or Mr., which but
few in those days were. Their ministers were the Rev. John Ma-
verick and the Rev. John Warham. Others of note, who came pas-
sengers in the Mary and John, were as follows : — Mr, Newbury, Mr.
Rossiter, Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Glover, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Terry, Mr.
Smith, Mr. Gallop, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Hull, Mr. Stoughton, Mr. Co-
gan, Mr. Hill, Mr. Pinney, Mr. Richards, Mr. Way, Mr. Williams,
Mr. Tilley and others ; Capt. Southcote, Capt. Lovell, and among
them came Capt. Roger Clap," whom he describes as being a very
worthy and religious gentleman.

This account may seem to conflict with Mr. Frothiugham's, but the
conclusion is that the above is the correct one, as all circumstances
confirm it, and it is probable that Mr. Glover was one of those who
took boats and went to Charlestown settlements, where were a few
English families, and possibly he remained there a short time. It
could have been but a short time, as he never removed his family
there, or his servants or cattle, nor the goods which he brought over
to establish his trade.

He was made Freeman in England before his emigration, and took
the oath of allegiance, which exempted him from that ceremony after
his arrival here.

The prefix of Mr. he brought with him, and he has been more gen-
erally designated by that than any other title. It was then one of
honor and dignity, but has depj-eciated in its original significance,
from its general usage. His armorial bearings were those granted
to Thomas Glover, Esq., of the Body of King James I., who was son
of Thomas Glover of Coventry in Warwickshire, Knighted I7th of
August, 1606. "This Coat, with a star for a difi"erence, was con-
firmed by William Camden, April 3d, 1604, and is a fac-simile of
the arms granted to the Somerset Herald, Robert Glover, after being
enlarged and improved by Edmondson, with the exception of the star."

Mr. Glover was called a godly and upright man. His religion was
that of a strict Non-conformist, or Puritan, which appears to have
been the ruling motive of his life, and led him to leave his English
home and forego all the comforts and conveniences of an English life,
to settle on the cold, uncomfortable, cheerless shore of New England.

JOHN GLOVEB, OP DORCHESTER. 45

Johnson in Ms History writes tlius of him : — " Mr. Glover was a
man strong for the truth, a plain, sincere and godly man, and of
good abilities." The following lines appear in his work entitled
The TVonder-worMng Providence, in which he notices Mr. Glover, with
some others of that company who were his associates : —

" And Godly Glover his rich gifts thou gavest,
Thus thou by means thy flock from spoiling savest."

His age thirty years, well settled in life with a wife and three
children (the youngest but a year old), inheriting large landed estates
from his father, and living in the enjoyment of a competent estate at
the time this enterprise was undertaken, the inquiry naturally arises,
what motive could have induced him to choose such a life of hard-
ship and endurance ?

His life, after his arrival and settlement at Dorchester, was evi-
dently one of unceasing action and service to the Colony. During
a period of nearly eighteen years his name appears not only as a pub-
lic officer in Dorchester, but in other towns, among those who sat in
judgment. In Salem, Charlestown, Cambridge, and at Barnstable
and other places in the Plymouth Colony, he was frequently called
in council in cases which required judicial decisions.

The following references to Mr. Glover are from various docu-
ments.

1631. "A Shallop of Mr. Glover's was cast away on the rocks
about Nahant. Crew all saved."

1636. Mr. Glover was chosen one of the Selectmen for the town
of Dorchester, and continued to fill that office until his removal to
Boston about 1650. He was a Representative to the General Court
at Boston from 1636 to 1652, when he was chosen an Assistant.

1649. John Glover's house is said to have been situated" at the
head of the Dock in Boston, but his name appears to continue on the

He was also appointed to other offices of trust and honor, as ap-
pears from the Massachusetts Colonial Records, Vol. 3d, under the
following dates :

1637. He was surety for Mr. Aspinwall. "Mr. John Glover and
Mr. Aspinwall are each of them bound in the sum of one hundred

by a former order so as they go effectually on with it within one year,
and if they think fit to plant a convenient number of families there
which may make a village, they shall have such quantity of land and
meadow fit for their occasion as the place will aftbrd, provided they
be ready and go effectually to work about it within three years next
after such mine shall be opened ; provided also, that such grant of a
village shall not hinder the Power of this Court in ordering and dis-
posing of any mines otherwise than hath been already or hereafter
shall be granted. June 14, 1642.

JOHN GLOVER, OP DORCHESTER. 49

March, 1647-8. Present at the General Court, Mr. John Glover.

May 11, 1648. " Neponsett Ferrj. Upon a certahi information
to the General Court, that there is no ferry kept over Neponsett
River between Dorchester and Braintree, whereby all that are to
pass that way are forced to head the River, to the great prejudice of
Towns that are in those parts, and that there appears no man that
will keep it unless he may be accommodated with house, Land and a
Boat, at the charge of the Country. It is therefore ordered by the
authority of this Court, that Mr. John Glover shall, and hereby hath
full power given him ; either to grant it to any person or persons
for the term of seven years, so it be not in any way chargeable to
the Country, or else take it himself and to his heirs as his own inheri-
tance forever. Provided that it be kept in such a place and at such
a price as may be most convenient for the Country and pleasing to
the General Court."

May 28, 1647. Mr. Glover, William Parks and Mr. Duncan are
appointed a committee " to see the order of Court for the ad-

May, 1650. Mr. Glover and others are appointed to examine the-
case of Marmaduke Matthews, of Charlestown.

Boston, June 1, 1650. "At a special commission instituted to
examine Mr. Matthews of Charlestown (of the first Church), on doc-
trinal points. The Commission consisted of the following Gentle-
men, viz., Mr. Simon Bradstreet, Mr. Simonds, Mr. John Glover^
Capt. William Hawthorne, Mr. Eleazer Lusher, Mr. Richards, Capt.
Daniel Gookin, Capt. Humphrey Atherton." They were instructed
to call on the Rev. Elders in case of difficulty.

It is further stated that Mr. Matthews was formally examined by
these gentlemen from Boston, and not being able to give satisfac-
tion, he was adjudged to be fined ten pounds, providing he did not
make an acknowledgment witliin a month for consenting to be or-
dained over the Church in Charlestown.

Mr. Matthews was asked to appear the 11th of June, 1650.

April 15, 1652. John Glover was one of a committee appointed
with John Endicott, Thomas Dudley, Richard Bellingham, Increase
Nowell, Simon Bradstreet, William Hibbins, Samuel Symonds and
Robert Bridges, to examine a work written by Mr. Pynchon, said to
contain pernicious sentiments. They speak thus of him: That
although they loved and respected the Author, they thought a book
he had written too pernicious to be published. " Signed by your
unworthy Servants." [Com. Niunes.]

Mr. Glover's death is thus noticed in the Town Records of
Dorchester, page 53 : —

"Dorchester, 15 (12) 1653. — Whereas Mr. John Glover was
Chosen with William Sumner and William Clarke to lay out Mrs.
Stoughton's farm in Dorchester, and now the said Mr. Glover being
deceased this 11th day of the 12th month, 1653; at a Town meet-
ing the town hath chosen John Wiswall in the room of Mr. Glover,
to be joined with the said William Sumner and William Clarke, for
doing that work."

The evidence is conclusive that Mr. John Glover continued to be
appointed to and hold offices in Dorchester after his removal to
Boston, and until his death, which, according to the above, took place
on Feb. 11th, 1653.

Dorchester Estate.
^ Mr. Glover's Dorchester homestead estate was passed by him to
his fourth son, Nathaniel Glover, of Dorchester, about the year 1651
or 2, and continued in his possession about five years. He died
May 21, 1657, leaving a widow and three children as co-heirs to his
estate of inheritance. His widow, marrying again (March 15, 1659)
to Gov. Thomas Hinckley, of Barnstable, relinquished her right of
dower in the estate to the children of Nathaniel Glover, and removed
to Barnstable. The estate was held in trust, and rented for the bene-
fit of the tliree minor children until the year 1674. At this time
the eldest son of Mr. Nathaniel Glover had arrived to the age of 21
years, was married, and the estate was ordered by the General Court
at Boston to be divided. It was then, in 1674, and for a short time
after, owned conjointly by Nathaniel Glover, John Glover of Dor-
chester, and Mrs. Anna (Glover) Rawson, wife of William Rawson,
of Boston, as their inlicritance. Nathaniel Glover, the eldest son,
being in possession of the house and a portion of the land, occupied
It and lived there. He continued to carry on the tanning business,
which had been set up there by his grandfather, Mr. John Glover,
the original owner of the estate. He purchased the shares of his
brother, John Glover, cooper, who lived in Boston, and of Mrs. Raw-

son, his sister, as soon as they were of age to dispose of them, and
in the year 1676 became the sole owner and occupant of the Dor-
chester homestead. He had seven chiklren born there, by Iiis wife
Hannah Hinckley. He continued to occupy it until 1700 — twenty-
four years — when his eldest son, Nathaniel G-lover, Jr., was of an
age to receive it. In that year the whole estate was, by deed of gift,
confirmed and passed to Nathaniel Glover, Jr. The date of this deed
<and transfer is January, 1 700.

Nathaniel Glover, Sen., at this time removed with his family to
Newbury Farm, beyond the Neponset River in Dorchester, and left
his Dorchester estate in the possession and occupancy of his son
Nathaniel, who continued there until March, 1726, a period of twenty-
six years. He continued the business of tanning on the estate, and
had seven children born to him there, by his wife Rachel Marsh. In
March, 1726, he went out to London as an agent for the original
Proprietors of Dorchester Common and Undivided Lands, of which
he had become an extensive shareholder, both by purchase and in-
heritance. He left his wife in possession and occupancy of the estate
— his childi-en being all minors. He died in June, 1726, in London,
of smallpox, soon after his arrival there. His widow continued to
^occupy and possess the estate until her death, in 1752.

When her second son, Mr. Alexander Glover, arrived to the age j
■of twenty-one years, the estate was passed to him as joint occupant, i
but it was not divided. Alexander continued there until his death^ I
March 15, 1770. He had ten children born there by his wife Sarah
White. He engaged in the lumber business, and discontinued the j
tanning, which has never been resumed by any of his successors. The j
pits are still to be seen on a portion of land belonging to one of his
grandchildren. In 1752, on the death of his mother, the widow of
Nathaniel Glover, Jr., the estate passed into the possession of her
children, six in number, viz. : Mr. Nathaniel Glover, of Boston, eldest
son; Mrs. Rachel Salter, of Boston; Mrs. Hannah Bass, Dorchester;
Mr. Alexander Glover, Dorchester; Miss Mary Glover, Dorchester;
and Mr. Pelatiah Glover, of Boston. It was owned conjointly by the
above heirs but a short time. Alexander became the purchaser of
the shares of the other children from time to time, but the final settle-
ment of the estate was not until 1785. Alexander died in 1770,
having been in possession of a portion of the estate from 1732 to i
that time, and occupying it first as co-heir, and conjointly, then j

sole heir for a period of tliirty-eiglit years. He left a widow, who
continued there by right of dower, and the estate was then owned
conjointly by Alexander Glover, Jr., the second son, and his mother?
Mrs. Sarah Glover, widow. •

Alexander Glover was the sixth occupant there in a direct line
from the original proprietor. By inheritance and by purchase he
came in possession of a considerable portion of the estate, and re-
mained on it until his death in 1813, a period of forty-three years.
He had six children born to him there, by his wife Hannah Pope.
After his death his widow continued by right of dower, and died
there in September, 1825. The estate was then owned conjointly
by the heirs of Alexander Glover, Jr., his eldest son Alexander, Jr.,
and the third of the name, being a retainer of the house and home-
stead, and a portion of the land as his inheritance. He continued
to occupy and possess the original mansion for a time. The old house
was taken down and a new one built near the spot. A house has
been built since for one of his sons over the old cellar, and portions
of the land remain in possession of the other sons. A considerable
portion of what was the original homestead has been sold. Alexan-
der, Jr., the last occupant and successor to the estate, was a retainer
until his death in 1842, a period of forty-eight years. He had ten
children born to him there, by his wife Jemima Tolman.

The last successor was the longest occupant. The estate has been
divided into various divisions and subdivisions, to accommodate the
heirs. Oliver Glover, Esq., of Dorchester, and James Glover, Esq.,
of Boston (brothers to Alexander the last successor), are now in
possession of portions of it as their inheritance. Other portions of
it have been sold. The above are of the seventh generation. Ano-
ther portion has passed on to the sons of Alexander, third, who are
still in possession and occupancy. The original bounds of the
estate may be seen as given in the Deed of Gift from Mr. Nathaniel
Glover, Sen., to his son Nathaniel Glover, Jr., which is inserted
among the acts of Nathaniel, Sen.

It will be seen that this estate, which was first possessed by the
Hon. John Glover, of Dorchester, who lived upon and occupied it
about twenty-two years, and had two children born to him there,
has descended down in a direct line, from father to son, to the sev-
enth and eighth generations, and that sixty children have been born
there who bore the name.

56 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

The mansion house bclongmg to this estate was built by Mr.
Glover. It was fashioned after the English style, but with thatched
roof and large open chimney. It was situated on the shore road,
now Commercial Street, fronting the' water.

Winthrop, in his Journal, Vol. 1, page 42, relates an incident con-
nected with it, under date of 1636. " Mr. Glover of Dorchester,
having about sixty pounds of powder in bags to dry in the end of his
chimney, it took fii-e and some of it went up chimney ; other of it
filled a room and blew up the gable end. A maid which was in the
room having her arms and neck naked was scorched and died soon
after. A little child in the arms of another was scorched upon the
face, but not killed. Two men were scorched, but not much injm'ed :
various pieces of furniture which lay in the room were scorched.
The room was dark with smoke, so that those in the room could not
find door or window ; and when neighbors went in, none could see
each other a good time for smoke. The house was thatched, but took
not fire, yet many things were burned and many were found injured.
Another great Providence was, that tlu-ee little children being at the
fire a little time before ; they went out to play, although it was a
very cold day, and so were preserved."

Estate and Hoiise in Boston.

It appears from the following that John Glover owned and occu-
pied a house in Boston as early as 1644.

"Dec. 6, 1664, John Glover, of Dorchester, sold to Jonathan
Oliver, of Boston, " a little plot of ground in Boston, as it is set out
by Mr. Jonathan Oliver, being now within my garden fence, between
my new Dwelling house and George Burden's and William Hudson's
* * -^ -^ so as William Tyng * * * * The said John
Glover to make and maintain in his garden a little higher towards
my house a close, well, and channel there within the ground for the
convenience of Water."

Mr. William Tyng's house, " Close, Garden, great yard and little
yard before the Hall window." Description of bounds — "John
Glover, William Hudson, Jr., George Burden, Hugh Gunnison and
the street East." — Boston Book of Fosscssions ; Histonj of Boston,
2)age 786.

" John Glover's house and yard bounded by the street South East,

JOHN GLOVER, OF DORCHESTER. 57

George Burden Soiitli West, William James North West and North
East."

In the description of bomids of George Burden's land, it is said
to be bounded on the eastward by John Glover.

Gov. Winthrop says, in his Journal, under date of 1649, that Mr.
Glover's house was situated at the head of the cove in Boston.

By his will, his Boston estate passed to his second son, Habackuk
Glover, who owned and occupied it until his death in 1692. It then
passed to Mrs. Rebekah Smith, who was his sole heir. She was
Rebekah Glover, and his only daughter, and at the time of her
father's death was the widow of Capt. Thomas Smith, of Boston, who
died in 1688. She owned and occupied it until her second marriage
with Capt. Thomas Clarke, in 1691, when it came in possession of
her eldest son, Capt. Thomas Smith, and was confirmed to him by
her will made in his favor after her second marriage. Capt. Thomas
Smith died at Saco in 1742. The estate then passed to his heirs?
who occupied and possessed it until about 1798, a period of fifty-six
years or more, when it was sold by them to Dr. Eliakim Morse and
Samuel Torrey, Esq., of Boston, who owned it conjointly for a time.
In 1812 it passed to the heirs of Samuel Torrey, Esq., and in 1828
the whole estate became the property of Samuel Torrey, Jr., Esq.
who is the present owner, and describes it as follows : " This estate
measured fifty-six feet in front on Dock Square, and extended through
to Elm Street. The mansion house was a large double house, built
of brick, with a wide front door at the entrance, which opened into
a hall from which two winding staircases led to the second floor-
The house remained standing till about 1830, when it was destroyed
by fire. Three stores have since been erected on the site, and are
now occupied by Brooks, Darling, and Walker."

It appears that the estate has passed down in the possession of
succeeding generations, under the conditions expressed in Mr. Glo-
ver's will, which will hereafter be noticed.

John Glover owned a house and land in Weymouth, and sold it to
Nicholas Byram in 1647, by his power of attorney, as follows :

"5: 8: 1647. John Glover, Power of Attorney. John Bra-
brook, of Watertown, Granted to Nicholas Byram, by virtue of a
Power of Attorney from John Glover, of Dorchester, all that piece
of land which was formerly John Glover's, lying in Weymouth, viz.?
Sixty acres of Upland adjoining to Nicholas Byram on the East and
on the West part.

" Also Two Acres of Meadow by the Waterside, and Four acres
of marsh. Also four acres of Frog's Meadow in the Woods, and a
Great Lott of Twenty-five Acres adjoining, by absolute Deed of Sale
made the 5 day of the 8'^ Month in 1647."

The above was purchased by Mr. Glover in 1644, of John Goife.

" At a County Court held at Cambridge, County of Middlesex, in
1643, on the account of John Glover, son of Rev, Joseph Glover,
Deceased, and Step-son of Rev, Henry Dunster, against Henry Dun-
ster, immediately following the death of his wife Mrs, Elizabeth Dun-
ster, who was the Widow of said Rev, Joseph Glover, and the mother
of the said Complainant " —

1653. Extract from first book of Court Records for Middlesex
County. " In an Action of ' Foster against Stowe,' purporting to be
a suit or action for the recovery of some Rents for Houses and Lands
in Maidstone, County of Kent, in England, wherein Mr, John Glover,
Senior, Deputy, with Hopestill Foster, bound themselves in the sum
of One hundred Pounds to the Court to prosecute the appeal against
Thomas Stowe,"

Tlie Last Will of Mr. John Glover, of Boston, made as foUoweth.

It being written that the Earth is the Lords ; and the fulness there-
of: the habitable world and they that dwell therein. Again I have
prayed to the Jehovah, I have said, Thou art my trust, my portion
in the land of the living. And again none of us liveth to himself,
neither doth any die to himself, and I accordingly believing, do there-
fore also speak and unto God say, I am thine and Thou art mine, and
pray. Oh that I and mine, the souls that Thou hast given me, if we
live we may live to Thee : if we die we may die to Thee : both if
we live and also if we die, we may be thine. And as for what also
Thou hast given me to possess, Thou hast trusted me to dispose,
that Thou wilt be pleased to be with me in disposing of it, and bless
it so, in their hands to whom I give it. Amen.

And first I will all former Wills be revoked, and whereas I have
by deed given to my son Thomas Glover all my lands in England,
with the promise that they shall be freed of my Widows dower,
and that besides I have promised to give him four hundred pounds :
and have also promised to my son Nathaniel, to give hinii so much in
good payment, as would make the lands, the which I delivered him,
worth four Hundred pounds : And have also given to my son Ha-
bakuck, that one half of the new house in Boston nearest Mr. Webb's
house, with half of all the other housing, half of the Yard and pits in
it, and other accommodations for tanning, and promised to make it
up to him four hundred pounds.

JOHN GLOVER, OF DORCHESTER. 59

All these with all other my debts, I will to be duly paid in the first
place out of my goods, debts due to me, and out of the profits of all
my lands in Dorchester and Boston, saving my Widow's dower, not
already expressed to be given.

And next unto these my Will is, that my two sons John and Pela-
tiah shall have either of them. One Hundred pounds paid unto them,
out of my goods and out of the profits of my two farms on the further
side of the River in Dorchester, and out of the one half of my house,
yard and other housing, and tan pits not herein expressed to be given
to my son Habakuck, as soon as my widows necessary maintenance
out of the aforesaid estate will permit.

And further after these performed, my will is, my beloved wife re-
linquishing her right of dower in England, shall have all the rest of
my goods, and all the profits of my two farms in Dorchester, and of
my aforesaid half house, yard, housing, and tan pits in Boston, undis-
posed of, for and during her natural life. And further that my son
Ilabakuck shall have the said half of my house next Goodman Hud-
sons, with the half of the yard and other housing and tan pits : my
son Habakuck paying within one year to my son Thomas Glover ten
pounds, and to my son Nathaniel Glover forty pounds : and to Har-
vard College at Cambridge, for and towards the maintenance of a fel-
low there, five pounds a year forever. And if my beloved wife can
spare to give the said five pounds a year in her life-time I doubt not
that she will give it. And of this my last Will I make and ordain my
well beloved wife my sole Executrix, desiring my I'espected loving
friends Mr. Richard Mather and Mr. Henry Withington, as overseers,
to advise and further the performance of this my Will. Now, 0 ;
God ! as for me, let me see thy face in righteousness. I shall have
suflScient in the awakening of thine image.

As for my children with them which I leave behind me. Oh that thy
grace and peace may be with them. And as for thy Majesty, to Thee
be glory and might, both now and for the day of Eternity. Amen.

If my said sons John and Peh\tiah shall have occasion to sell Mr.
Newbreys farm, my desire is, that it be sold to ni}' son Nathaniel if
he desires to buy it. Written with my own hand this Eleventh day of
April, 1653. JOHN GLOVER.

Upon further consideration of what my sons John and Peletiah
have already received in their education, my Will and mind is, that
after the decease of my beloved wife, they the said John and Pelatiah
shall have and receive out of my two farms in Dorchester, either
of them, the sum of two Hundred pounds, which sum of four Hun-
dred pounds being first paid unto them the said John and Pelatiah,
I do hereby give the reversion and inheritance of the said two
farms unto my sons Habakuck, John, Nathaniel and Pelatiah, and to
their heirs forever : to be equally divided amongst them in four seve-
rally. And that this is my Will I have caused this Codicil to be
annexed and affixed to my Will and testament, as part thereof, and
have thereunto put my hand, this twenty sixth day of the Eleventh
Month, 1653. Witness hereof, JOHN GLOVER.

Mrs. Anna Glover appeared before the Magistrates and Recorder the
4th day of January, 1654, and deposed that this is a true Inventory
of the Estate of her late husband Mr. John Glover, of Boston deceas-
ed, and promised that when she knew more she would discover it to
the Recorder. pr Edward Rawson,

On the records of Harvard College, under date of 1642, Mr. Glo-
ver and two others are credited with a " Gift of Utensils," for the
use of that institution, amounting to twenty pounds.

He was one of those who allowed themselves to be assessed for
the expenses and benefit of that College, and was called upon from
time to time to furnish provisions and all such articles as were need
ed there, according to his ability.

64 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

At his decease lie left tbem a token of his remembrance in a legacy
of " five pounds a year forever, as a perpetual annuity for the aid of
indigent students." It was directed to be paid out of that portion
of his Boston estate which was given to his second son Habackuk
Glover, after the decease of his mother.

That event occurred in 1670. At this present writing, 1866, it is
two hundred and twelve years since the above annuity became
due and payable to the treasurer of the College. The amount
of five pounds, or in Federal money sixteen dollars and sixty-seven
cents, has been paid annually by those who inherited the estate^
and their successors — which sum, though it may seem small at the
beginning, has amounted, in the aggregate, to three thousand five
hundred and sixty-seven dollars and thirty-two cents.

Samuel Torrey, Esq., of Boston, is the last successor and present
owner of Mr. Glover's Boston estate, and paid the last annuity in
April, 1866.

Mr. Glover owned another estate in Dorchester. He mentions in
liis will his " two farms in Dorchester, out of which his widow, re-
linquishing her right of dower in England, was to draw the income
until her death." One of these was his " Newbery farm," and the
other a tract of land of one hundred and eighty acres, situated
directly south of Milton Hill, and extending westward (according to
-the bounds described in the deed) on the flat fronting on the north-
west by the brook which now bears the name of "Aunt Sarah's
Brook," and south-east by the central line of the town of Milton.
He laid out a farm here, and built a house and barn and other
out-houses convenient for farming. It is said the house stood near
vhere the brook reaches the road, by the house now occupied
by Mr. Davis. The furniture of the house, stock and farming uten-
sils were all owned by Mr. Glover. This farm was leased to Nicho-
las Wood, who came over to New England as Mr. Glover's agent;
and was a tenant there at the time of Mr. G.'s death, and con-
tinued to occupy it until it was sold in 1654 by the heirs of Mr.
Glover, to Robert Vose. It has descended down in the Yose line
to the present time, although portions of the land have been sold,
from time to time, so that the original farm is now much diminished.
This estate now lies in the town of Milton. The following deed
is copied from the original document :

Inventory of the Estate of his late Mother, Mrs. Anna Glover, and

Harvard College, under date of 1642, as a gift towards furnishing

books for the College Library. Other instances appear of her en-
larged benevolence and of her hospitality. The name of her family
has not been ascertained, although diligently sought for; nor has
even a clue to her origin or English life been discovered by the ex-
amination of any records found here. But through her New England
life and acts, aided by tradition, she has become known to us as a
woman of superior endowments, and of remarkable grace and dig-
nity of manners, well fitting her high station. She was a church
member beforeher emigration. Her name appears on the records of
the Dorchester Church, 23 : 6 : 1636. She remained in that connec-
tion about twenty-five years, and on the 4: 9 : 1660, was dismissed to
join the old Church at Boston. She was received there 1 : 3 : 1661,
and continued a member until her death. She stands at the head
of the descending generations as their first American ancestress, and
her Christian name has been perpetuated among them successively to
the present time.

Mr. Glover^s Newbury Farm.

Mr. Thomas Newbury, who came from England in the same ship
with Mr. John Glover, was fii'st in possession of this farm, by grants
of land from the Proprietors of Dorchester, and by purchase from
Mr. Pynchon, who removed to Springfield and became one of its
first founders.

The following extracts are from the Proprietors' Records :

1634. "It is ordered that Mr. Newbury, shall have Thirty Acres
for the purchase that he bought of Mr. Pyncheon ; the house that
Mr. Pyncheon built; and Forty Acres of Upland ground to the
house; and Forty Acres of Marsh and Twenty acres of Neck in
Brantry Neck." Mr. Newbury's one hundred acres to be laid out
to him next Israel Stoughton's, six miles above his mill at Neponset
River.

" Likewise it is ordered and agreed upon, that Whereas Mr. New.
bury hath relinquished a former Grant of Forty-one Acres of Marsh
and Twenty Acres of Upland in Squantum Neck, he is now to have
all the land from his house to Mr. Wilson's Farm, in consideration
thereof"

There appears to have been no deed given to Mr. Glover, but the
title was confirmed to him by the heirs of Mr. Newbury, and is re-
corded on the records of the General Court at Boston, as follows :

70 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES. '

1645. "Upon petition of the lieirs of Mr. Thomas Newbury, viz,^
Henry Wolcott, Daniel Clark, Joseph Newbury, Mr. John Warham
and William Gaylord, in tlie behalf of the three youngest daughters
that the farm bought of Mr. Pyncheon with its appurtenances, the
Sixteen Acre lott, with the Barn upon it, and Forty Rods in the
Little Neck, should be ratified and confirmed to Mr. John Glover."

Oct. 2, 1645. " In Answer to the Petition of the Children an..
Executrix and Overseers of the Last Will and Testament of Mr.
Thomas Newbury, late of Dorchester, Deceased, for the confirma-
tion of the said Farm of said Thomas Newbury to Mr. John Glover,
of Dorchester, of Whom they acknowledge to have received full
satisfaction, and in consideration thereof, their Petition is hereby
Granted, and the farm confirmed to the said John Glover and to his
lieii's and Assigns forever."

This farm, containing four hundred acres, was situated in Dorches-
ter, on the south side of the Neponset River, and was bounded on the
north by the River, on the south by Mr. Wilson's farm in Braintree,
on the east by the sea at low water mark, and on the west extended
to near the bounds of what is now Milton, a precinct of Dorchester
until 1662. Li 1640 the whole farm passed into the possession of
Mr. Glover, Mr. Newbury relinquishing, with the intention of remov-
ing to Connecticut River. Mr. Glover leased the farm to John Gill
and Roger Billings. There were two houses upon it — one built by
Mr. Newbury, and occupied as his homestead, the other built by Mr.
Pynchon. The lessees occupied these houses, and carried on the
farm, paying an annual rent. Mr. Glover owned the stock and farm-
ing utensils ; also the furniture of the houses. He gave it the name
of " Newbury Farm." In 1649 he renewed the lease to John Gill
and Roger Billings for another term of ten years. They were the
occupants there at the time of Mr. Glover's death, in 1653, and con-
tinued there for some time after, the lease being renewed by his
heirs.

By his last will Mr. Glover reserved the income of his Newbury
Farm as the dower of his widow, who dying in 1670, the estate re-
verted to his four sons, and was for the next ten years owned con-
jointly by Mr, Habackuk Glover of Boston, Mr, John Glover of
Boston, the heirs of Mr. Nathaniel Glover of Dorchester, and the
Rev. Pelatiah Glover of Springfield. They continued the lease to
Roger Billings, Sen., until the year 1680, at which time they had a

JOHN GLOYER, OF DORCHESTER. 73

Oct. 8, 1681, Mr. Habackuk Glover, of Boston, sold and con-
firmed his one fourth part of Newbury farm to Roger Billings, as
marked on the plan. Consideration one hundred and seventy pounds.
Signed by Habackuk Glover and Hannah Glover.

In 1686, Mr. John Glover, of Boston, conveyed and confirmed to
his " beloved Nephew, Nathaniel Glover, eldest son to his brother
Nathaniel Glover, of Dorchester, who died in 1657," " one twelfth
part of tliis farm, which fell to the share of Anna Glover, now wife
unto William Rawson and one of the heirs of his said brother Na-
thaniel, and conveyed by her to her Uncle John Glover." Signed
John Glover and Elizabeth Glover. From 1686 to 1692, the farm
was owned conjointly by Mr. John Glover, of Boston, in his own
right one fourth ; Roger Billings, in right of Habackuk, one fourth ;
Nathaniel Glover, Sen., eldest son of Mr. Nathaniel Glover, of Dor-
chester, deceased, in his own right of inheritance, one twelfth, and
by purchase of his brother John Glover (cooper), one twelfth, and
by Deed of Gift, from his uncle John Glover, of the remaining one
twelfth part which " accrued to his sister Mrs. Anna Rawson, as her
right of inheritance, being the only daughter of Mr. Nathaniel Glo-
ver of Dorchester deceased — which last named three twelfths com^
prised one fourth ; and the Rev. Pelatiah Glover, of Springfield, one
fourth.

Rev. Pelatiah Glover dying in 1692, his share, or one fourth part?
devolved on his son Pelatiah Glover, Jr., of Springfield, who sold it
in 1699 to Nathaniel Glover, Sen., and William Rawson. The farm
was then owned conjointly by the heirs of Roger Billings, one fourth ;
Nathaniel Glover, Sen., in his own right, one fourth ; Mr. John Glo-
ver, of Boston, one fourth; Nathaniel Glover, Sen., and William
Rawson, one fourth, in the right of Pelatiah Glover, Jr.

In 1700, they made a new division among themselves, and with.
Roger and Ebcnezer Billings, sons to Roger Billings, Sen.

Nathaniel Glover, Sen., was a retainer of both houses, and all the
out buildings, with his share of the land ; he removed there and be-
came an occupant in 1700. He remained in possession until his
death, which occurred in 1723-4, about twenty-four years. At his
death he left his house and homestead by Deed of Gift to his young-
est son, Mr. Thomas Glover, Esq., reserving the right of dower for
his widow.

Mr. Thomas Glover, of the fourth generation, owned and occupied

it ui^til his death in 1758, a period of thirty-four years, and Iiacl
twelve children born to him there, by his wife Elizabeth Cloiigh. He
left it by will to his two youngest sons, William and Ebeuezer. They
owned it conjointly for a time, when they divided, and Ebenezer
retained the homestead, comprising the houses and land which lay
convenient to it. In 1798, Ebenezer Glover, successor to Thomas,
took away the old house and built a new one just in the rear of the
old cellar. It is still standing, having been remodelled and repaired
several times. Ebenezer Glover occupied and was in possession
nearly fifty years. He had three children born to him there, by his
wives Sarah Wadsworth and Mary Davenport, and left it by will, in
1807, to his only son, Benjamin Wadsworth Glover, who succeeded
him and occupied there until his death in 1814 — a period of seven
years. By his wife Mehetable Willard Baxter, he had two sons i
born to him there. In 1823, the homestead estate of Newbury Farm
was settled on his eldest son, Horatio N. Glover, Esq., who succeeded
to the occupancy, and had ten children born to him there, by his wife
Martha Turpin Hovey. At his death, in 1863, he had been in pos-
session forty years, and had made great improvements on the build-
ings and land. The estate is now, in 1866, held in trust by his I
widow and his sons Horatio N. and William B. Glover, Esqs.

Thus it appears that Mr. Glover's Newbury Farm, which was pos- |
sessed by him in 1640, has passed down in a direct line of succes- 1
sion, through his descendants, until it has reached the eighth genera-
tion, covering a period of two hundred and twenty-six years.

Undivided Lands apportioned to Mr. Glover in the Three Divisions j
Dorchester Nech, and in Dorchester New Grant.

The members of the London Joint Stock Company were entitled
to a share of two hundred acres of land for every fifty pounds ad-
ventured, and additional acres under other conditions, or according
to the men they employed in their business, and the number of their
servants. As soon as practicable after their settlement at Dorches-
ter, apportionments were made by the Proprietors, to each man, ac-
cording to the laws of the Company.

The following apportionments Avere made to Mr. Glover, and re-
corded on the Proprietors' Records.

"March, 1636. It is ordered that Mr. Glover shall have Thirty
Acres of land and Meadow beyond Neponset River, about one mile

JOHN GLOVER, OF DORCHESTER. 75

from the Mill, in Lieu of a Twenty Acre Lott which he leaves to the
Plantation, in the Great lotts beyond the Fresh Marsh." " The pro-
portion which Mr. Glover is to have in the lands on the Neck is
Twenty Acres, and the same in the Cow pasture."

''26 (3) 1644. It is ordered that Mr. Glover shall have that
Upland he so much dcsireth, being- and lying to the Brook from the
Upper part of the Great Plain, beyond his farm ; the said John Glo-
ver giving Upland and Meadow for the same, to the Town, out of
his own Propriety of the ' Three Divisions,' or out of the next land
divisible or elsewhere to the full value according to the Judgment
of Nathaniel Duncan, Thomas Jones, William Sumner, Hopestill
Foster and William Blake."

Mr. Glover had lands apportioned to him on Dorchester Neck
(now South Boston), some of which he sold (29 : 6 : 1644), to Nich-
olas Ball, as follows :

"Land in' the great Neck in the further end of his lott; together
with half of the Way granted and quality considered : said land lying
next to the Moat of the Neck on the further end of his lott. To
have and to hold to the aforesaid Nicholas Ball, and to his heirs for-
ever. Whereby the aforesaid John Glover doth acknowledge to have
had full satisfaction for the aforesaid Tract."

Dorchester New Grant, in which were comprised the Proprietors
Undivided Lands, extended from the Blue Hills southward to the
Colony line which separated it from the Plymouth Colony. The
lines were run parallel from North to South. The swamps were
set off as the " Twenty-five Divisions ; " the Upland was, when divid-
ed, called the " Twelve Divisions " of land. The Proprietors were
an organized body, and received their proportions according to the
stock invested and accredited to them on the Company's Records.

"In the years 1636, 1637, and 1638, the lands in 'Dorchester New
Grant ' were ordered to be divided, in such proportions that Mr.
Glover, of Dorchester, one of the Original Proprietors, should have
Thirty-Six Acres, two quarters and Twenty-five Rods out of every
Division of land."

" 7 (4) 1642. It was agreed that Mr. John Glover, being one
of the Original Proprietors of the Town of Dorchester, should with
Mr. Baker and Mr. Breck, run the line at the head of Braintry
Bounds ; and then run the line unto the Country for the laying out of
the New Grant."

76 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

The line was accordingly run about that time, but the divisions
were not made until 1667.

" At a General Town Meeting (1 : 1 : 1667), in the Town of Dor-
chester, It was voted that there should be Twelve Divisions laid out
altogether, in the good land beyond the Blue Hills. The first lott to
l3e nearest the Town ; and so each man to have his lott successively
in the Good land Lotts lying so near as may be, not above Eight
Score or Two hundred Rods long. And, if it so turn out that a
Plott of bad land falls in a lott, then allowance may be made by the
Surveyor and those men that the Town shall appoint to go with him."

Another survey was made, commencing in the year 1714, and end-
ing in the year 1716. Most of the original proprietors had passed
away before this last was undertaken, and the allotments were made
to their grandchildren or their legal representatives.

In the " Twenty-five Divisions," there was allotted and laid out
to Mr. Glover, in the year 1716,

9th Division — Burnt Swamp and Iron Mine Meadow, 12 acres.

48th Division — Dead Swamp, 10 acres.

45th Division — Purgatory Swamp, 45 acres.

At the western extremity of the New Grant, where the towns of
Foxboro' and Wreutham now meet, there was laid out to him one
thousand acres in five hundred acre lots.

In the Twelve Divisions of Upland, there were apportioned and |
laid out to him two hundred acres in the 48th lot.

In the 67th lot, Twelve Divisions, three hundred acres (sold by
his heirs to Nathaniel Stearns).

These two last lots of two and three hundred acres were in the
South precinct of Dorchester, which was subsequently set oft* from
Dorchester and took the name of Stoughton.

Vol. 67, p. 259, Suffolk Beg. of Deeds.

It is thus seen that seventy years after Mr. Glover's death, his
lands in the Dorchester New Grant came in possession of his de-
scendants of the third and fourth generations as their inheritance,
and were set off as far as possible by a just and equal division
among themselves. At that time, a large portion of these lands had
been settled on by those who had no title, and could not be dispos-
sessed without resorting to a course of law. A very small portion!
of it remains in the possession of one of his descendants at the pre-!
sent time. That tract of two hundred acres which was situated in
Stoughton, and which fell to the share of a great grandson, Thomas
Glover, Esq., of Newbury Farm, Dorchester, was passed by will
to his eldest sons, Thomas and James, in 1752. They divided it.|
each taking one hundred acres. Thomas had built a house there!
previous to that time, or about 1750, and occupied it until his death}
in 1811, a period of forty-one years. He had eleven children bornj
to him there, by his wife Rebeckah Pope, and left the homestead toj
his youngest son, Mr. Elijah Glover, who owned and occupied it untilj
his decease in 1855, forty-four years, having had ten children born;
to him there by his wives Martha Pope and Sarah Howe. His third
son, Mr. John Clough Glover, has built a house near the original onci
(which is still standing), and inherits a portion of the land. Hej
resides there at the present time. Other portions arc in possession
of his brothers. Thus after a period of two hundred and thirty
years from the first order for apportionment, the estate has reached
the seventh generation in regular and direct succession. j

And here closes what has been gathered of Mr. John Glover — [
his ancestors, his birth, life in England, life in New England, his
manorial estates, and his disposition of them. He has justly beci^
styled by writers as one of the founders of New England, and ranksj
as the earliest American ancestor of more than one thousand descend-
ants, Avhose lives are noticed in the pages which follow.

THOMAS GLOVER, OP LONDON. 81

[Second Getieration.']

THOMAS GLOVER, OF LONDON, ENGLAND, AND HIS
DESCENDANTS TO THE FOURTH GENERATION.

I. Thomas Glover, the eldest son of Mr. Jolm Glover, of Rain-
hill, Lancashu-e, England, and Anna his wife, vras born in Rainhill
Parish, Prescot, in Lancashire, England, the 8th day of January,
1627; and died in the Parish of St. John, Hackney, London, Eng-
land, the 3d day of October, 1707, aet. 80 years and 9 months. His
will bears date April 18th, 1707; proved November 7th, 1707. He
left a widow and three children, five grandchildren and four great-
grandchildren.

In 1630, when at the age of three years, he was brought by his
parents to Dorchester, in New England, and lived there until the
age of manhood, 1648. Very little information can be gathered of
him from New England records. He never took the freeman's
oath, and never joined any church while a resident here. In 1644,
with five others from Dorchester, he joined the Ancient and Honora-
.ble Artillery Company, which had been formed early in New Eng-
land, and was a branch of the parent association in London., He
was at that time but seventeen years of age. He returned to Eng-
land, and was married there before February, 1652, to Rebeckah .

The first day of February, 1652, he received from his father, Mr.
John Glover, by Deed of Gift (see page 51), all the lands, houses,
and edifices which belonged to the latter, lying in Rainhill, Eccleston
and Knowlesby, and other places named in the deed, in the County
of Lancashire. It appears he was on a visit to New England at that
date, and returned to England immediately after, probably in the
same ship with Rev. George Moxon, the first minister of Springfield,
and Mr. Pynchon. He was at that time twenty-five years of age.
His estates of inheritance in Lancashire liad been left in trust, and
were ordered to be delivered to him by Mr. John Latham, of Whiston^
and Mr. William Glover, of Prescot, brother and attorney to Mr.
John Glover, of Dorchester. He was to receive them immediately
after his arrival at Rainhill. There is no evidence- of his ever having
settled on his estates at that place, or lived there after his marriage.
He resided in London, was a merchant there, and probably had been
establislied in business there ever since first going from Dorches-
ter, in 1648 or '49. He never engaged in any business while here^

By the last Will and Testament of Mr. John Glover, bearing date
April 11th, 1653 (p. 58), the estates in England which were granted
to his son Thomas in February, 1652, were confirmed to him, and he
. was also to receive the sum of four hundred pounds in money, to be
paid by his executors at his decease. And the additional sum of
ten pounds was ordered to be paid to him at the decease of his
mother, by his brother Habackuk, who at that time came into full

possession of his father's Boston estate. He was not to share in the
division of the estate called Newbury Farm, which was retained as
the widow's dower, and immediately after her decease was, with all
its incomes, to be divided into four equal parts and given to his four
brothers.

In 1680, when Mr. Glover's Newbury Farm was surveyed and
divided, Thomas Glover, Esq., of the city of London, merchant, was
noticed and legally represented in Glover's Agreement. (See p. 71.)

In 1724, at the final settlement of the estate of Hon. John Glover,
the name of Thomas Glover occurs again, in a compact or agree-
ment drawn up and signed by the surviving heirs in relation to the
Common and Undivided Lands lying in Dorchester New Grant, in
the town of Stoughton. (See p. 76.) This transaction took place
seventeen years after the decease of Thomas Glover, of London. All
the other sons were also dead, and were represented by their child-
ren and grandchildren. It is not known at the present time by whom
Thomas was represented. He had three daughters at the time of
his death in 1707, and prolmbly at this time, who may have appointed
some person to represent them, but it is not expressed in the agree-
ment. There are signers to that compact, however, whose names
could not have been attached to it in their own right, as those of
Nathaniel Rawson and Pelatiah Rawson, and who may have been
appointed to act for Thomas's heirs.

In 1654, he was appointed an attorney by Judith Holland, of Dor-
chester, in New England, and by Henry Ashurst, creditor to her
estate, to settle her affairs there. (See next page.)

He was visited in 1661 by gentlemen from Boston, who were wit-
nesses to a writing drawn up by his hand, appointing his brother
Habackuk Glover to be his attorney in relation to lands and proper-
ty in Boston and the adjacent towns ; and they brought back with
them to Boston this Power of Attorney, delivered it to Mr. Ha-
backuk Glover, and testified to it, personally appearing on the 26th
of May, 1664.

28 (6) 1669, Mr. Habackuk Glover appears to have recovered a
debt of Nathaniel and Peter Duncan, and transmitted it to London
for his In-other Thomas Glover.

There has been preserved an original letter written by him to his
brother-in-law, Gov. Thomas Hinckley, of Barnstable, in Plymouth
Colony, in New England, bearing date August 2, 1684, which, with
documents above named, are given in succeeding pages.

In 1689, Judge Scwall, of Boston, on going to London, made liim
another visit, and records it in liis diary. Mr. Glover probably wrote
to his friends by Judge Sewall, who immediately after his return to
New England, made a visit to Gov. Hinckley; and he writes in his
diary of the entertainment which he received as his guest, and the
attention shown him by Madam Hinckley, whom he said read letters
to him from her children — and also that the conversation turned on
friends and relations whom Judge Sewall had seen and visited when
lately in England.

The following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Thomas Glover, of
London, England, to his brother-in-law, the Hon. Thomas Hinckley,
of Barnstable, New England, dated August 2d, 1684. The top of the
letter, which probably contained the address, was missing.

Sir,

I received your kind letter wherein you express yours and my
Sister's respects to me. I am glad to hear from you, and rejoice to
hear of the welfare of any of my relations.

We live in bad times, wherein our privileges, especially our Spirit-
ual enjoyments, are obstructed and our lives made uncomfortable
thereby.

I doubt not the same evil will at last in a great measure reach you.
Were it not for fear of the loss of those enjoyments which are enjoyed
in New England, very many of us should certainly retire to New
England.

All comfort in our outward enjoyments are much abated by want of
Spiritual Liberty. It is made a very great crime with us to hear a
good minister preach Christ or Pray to God.

If it please God that I live, I may another time order something
for some of my relations. Pray present mine and my wife's respects
to my Sister, your Wife, whom I commit to God, and so rest your
loving brother, Thomas Glover,

2d Aug. 1684.

Thomas Glover had three brothers living in New England at that
time, but they all died before he did — the last in 1696. There
were also the three children, heirs of his brother Nathaniel Glover,
of Dorchester, who were his nephews and niece.

Judge Sewall corresponded with him, as shown by the following
letter from his Letter Book :

Boston, N. E., July 15, 1686.

tons and 2 doz books, which with the bill of Exchange of 80£, |

shillings. Have delivered Mr. Hawson his kerseys and crape. I
thank you for your ready acceptance of my bill, of which I was in-
formed, and of the payment by my coi'respondeut before yours came
to hand. Am grieved at the afflictions of France (that is, the afflic-
tions by France of the Protestants), but am glad to understand it
seeing it is so. Our letters that come by vessels do now pass
through the hands of Councillor Randolph. We are here exercised
with a very sore drought. Yesterday was observed as a public fast
for that occasion. Except God make haste to help us, we shall be
greatly straitened for want of grass and corn. The only son of Mrs,
Holland, Widow, is to be buried this afternoon. The smallpox is in
town. Only one hath died of it yet that I hear of.

Sir, your friend and Servant, Samuel Sewall.

1689, April 22. Judge Sewall visited Thomas Glover, and writes
in his diary, under the above date, thus : " I went on foot to Hack-
ney, through brick lane, about | a mile long, and dined with Mr.
Thomas Glover, his sons Bard and Thomson, their wives, Mrs. Trench
and several Grandchildren. Eat part of two lobsters that cost
S-d" apiece, 7-6 both."

This visit of Judge Sewall appears to be the last notice of him
before his decease. Two notices occur after his death, in relation to
the distribution of property accruing to him or his heirs, both in
1724, at the final settlement of the estate (or reversion of it) left by
his brother John Glover, of Boston, merchant, and in the final settle-
ment of the estate of his father. His estates at Rainhill may have
been sold, or they may have been held in trust for some future dis-
tribution under other conditions, and so not devised — as in case his
line might at some time become extinct.

Thomas Glover was in good health on the 8th day of April, 1707,
as is stated in his will, had wife Rcbeckah and three daughters,
several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He appointed his
eldest daughter Rebcckah Bard, widow, sole Executrix. His death
occurred October 3d, 1707, and his will was proved November 7tli,
1707.

His wife Rebeckah survived him, and died at Hackney, in the Par-
ish of St. John, the 13th day of May, 1711. She was buried in
Trench's vault.

This latter information is gathered from a letter received in 1862,
from the present incumbent of the Church of St. John, Hackney, in
London.

Thomas Glover in his will makes no allusion to the Rainhill cs-

tateS; which were given him by his father, in 1652, but devises the
following as owned by him, viz. :

Estates, messuages and lands lying in the Cock and Pye Fields?
near the Seven Dials in the Parish of St. Giles in the Fields, in the
County of Middlesex, England 5 a freehold estate in Bartholomew
Square, in or near Old Street, in the County of Middlesex, purchased

lying in that Parish of Westham.

His donations from his personal estate amount to about three thou-
sand pounds sterling, as expressed in his will. His legatees were
his wife Rebeckah, three daughters, five grandchildren and four great-
grandchildren ; with gifts to his minister, Mr. Billis ; Mr. Bates, his
daughter Trench's chaplain ; his vicar, Mr. Newcome ; his nephew,
Daniel Poyntell ; cousins Charles Watts and Priscilla Lucas ; cou-
sin Margaret Lightman ; Lydia Davis, his servant ; nurse Watrous ;
Mrs. Ratclifie and Mary Talbot ; and to Christian Owen, his
daughter Bard's maid servant, and his poor neighbors at his wife's
discretion.

His armorial bearings wea-e those granted and confirmed in 1604
to Thomas Glover, Esq., of the body of King James I., son of Tho-
mas Glover, of Coventry, knighted the 17th of August, 1606.

" He beareth Sable a Chevron Ermine between three Crescents
Argent, By the name of Glover, and is boi'ne by Mr. Thomas Glover,
of the City of London, Merchant, and descends to the name and
family of Glover. This Patent was granted by William Camden^
April 3d, 1604. A true copy from Heraldry, attested by Charles
L. Cole," Feb. 2, 1804. Mr. Cole also bore testimony that the
above was the same Arms which was originally granted in 1577,
and subsequently enlarged and improved by Edmonson, to Robert
Glover, Somerset Herald, a description of which is given on page 15
of this work; and that Mr. Glover of Dorchester and his descend-
ants were entitled to bear the same by hereditary descent. Heralds
in London and from there invariably confirm this statement whenever
consulted. By the writings of Edmonson and Burke, we learn that
there are seventeen of the name and family of Glover who are enti-
tled to and have been granted Coats of Arms ; and by an examination
of all, it appears that the one granted to Somerset Herald is the
only one which corresponds with those which have been granted at
different periods to this branch of New England Glovers. We have
also the testimony of William Camden, a distinguished herald who
was cotemporary with Robert Glover and survived him, who has con-
firmed the right of this branch to the same arms, by his description,
and that the family was first of Coventry in Warwickshire and
Ashford in Kent.

RICHARD CHISWELL.

Richard Chiswell, who was a son by her first husband of one of
the daughters of Thomas Glover — or there may have been another
daughter who died previously to the date of the will in 1707 — was

96 MEMOEIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

a grandson, and had a wife and one child, at the time the will was
made.

Of the Chiswells in London, the following has been gathered :

Mr. Richard Chiswell, a noted bookseller of London, lies buried
in St. Peter's Church-yard. He was one of the proprietors, says
Stowe, " of this book " — meaning his Survey of London.

" He lies here in the North Isle of this Church, and also his father
and mother, John and Margaret Chiswell, and his first wife Sarah,
daughter of John King — and also five children who died young,
whom he had by Mary, daughter of Richard Royston, bookseller, by
whom he had three sons more, viz., John Chiswell, who died in India,
Richard, and Royston. Richard Chiswell, Sen., was born in this
Parish, January 4, 1639, and died here May 3d, 1711 (aged 72
years), and was a man Worthy of Great Praise, whereof his son
Richard Chiswell of London, Merchant, caused a Monument to be
erected, which is against the Wall of the South Isle of this Church."

Notices of Richard Chiswell are as follows :

St. Butolph, Aldcrgate Ward. Among a list of benefactors, " Mr.
Richard Chiswell, late of this city, bookseller, besides his charity to
this School in his lifetime, did at his death give Twenty-five Pounds."

Another, of the date of 1708 :

" Mr. Richard Chiswell, abovesaid, besides his charity to this School
in his lifetime, did at his death give Twenty-five pounds, and to the
Workhouse at Bishop's Gate Street he gave Two hundred Pounds ;
and in January, 1708, he gave Fifty Pounds."

The above notices probably relate to the father of Richard Chis-
well, merchant, who married a daughter of Thomas Glover. He
must have died young, and of him little has been gathered, or of his
wife. He may have been one of the five childi'en by the first wife
Sarah King, as the son Richard by the second wife survived him and
erected the monument to his memory.

1717. The following notices seem to relate particularly to the
Richard Chiswell, grandson of Thomas Glover, and named in his
will as a legatee ; also the Joseph Thomson named must be another
grandson associated with him under the head of " Governors of the
Royal College of St. Thomas Hospital, in Southwark, A.D. 1717: —
Mr. Richard Chiswell, Esq., Mr. Joseph Thomson, Esq."

The following from Essex County History, published by the Cam-
den Society in 1838 or 9, appears to indicate the place of his death

THOMAS GLOVER, OF LONDON. 97

and the name of his wife, which show he could not have been the
son of Elizabeth Glover, who married Thomas Trench.

" Against the east wall of the south Isle of the church is a very
handsome marble monument, on which is this inscription: 'Here-
under lieth the remains of Mr. Richard Chiswell, Esq., of London,
Merchant, who purchased and improved and settled his whole estate
at Depden upon his posterity, and died in 1751, aged 78; and also
of Mary his wife, the daughter and sole heiress of Mr. Thomas
Trench of London, merchant, whereby was brought into this family
the estate of Finchenfield, which they now enjoy. She died in 1726,
aged forty-three years, and liad by her said husband five children,
whereof her two sons, William and Trench Chiswell, died at Con-
stantinople, aged about eighteen years, and lie buried there. Also
Richard Chiswell, his second son, who survived him ; also his second
daughter, who married Mr. Dudley Foley and Peter Muilman,
merchants of London; in commemoration of which particular
this monument was erected by the direction of the said Richard Chis-
well, Deceased.'

"Upon the north wall there is another, having the following
inscription :

" ' In the adjacent corner of this Church lie Interred the remains
of Mr. Dudley Foley, Ob. 1747, and likewise his Wife, Ob. 1742,
who are both further mentioned in the monument of Richard Chis-
well, Esq. The only two children they had lie buried at Cheaum in
Surrey, one a son aged fourteen, the other a daughter aged sixteen
years.'

" Upon the ground, on a black marble stone, is engraved in two
graves arched with brick :

" ' Mr. Richard Chiswell, Esq., Obit. A.D. 1751.

Mary, his only Wife, Obit. 1726.

Mr. Dudley Foley, Obit. 1747.

Elizabeth, his only Wife, Obit. 1742.' "

Of Joseph Moxon, another grandson of Thomas Glover, the pre-
sumption is tliat he was the son of Rev. George Moxon, who was the
first minister of Springfield, and returned to England with Mr. Pyn-
chon ill 1652. Joseph, if he had such a son, married, in all probability,
one of the daughters of Thomas Glover.

JOSEPH THOMSON.

JosepTi Thomson was the husband of Mary Glover, second daugh-
ter of Thomas and Rebeckah Glover of London.

Judge Sewall writes, April 18, 1689 : "Go to Hampden Court, in
company with Mr. Hutchinson, John Appleton and Mr. Mather. Sir
Samuel Thomson, Mr. Whiting and Mr. Joseph Thomson, rode in
another coach. Cost 21 Shill. and 8 pence apiece, beside money for
the driver."

Hackney, the Last Residence of Thomas Glover, Esq.
The following description is from " Stowe's Survey of London " :
" The circuit walks on the northwest parts bordering upon Lon-
don, viz., Hackney, Stoke Newington, Islington, Paddington, Highgate
and Mary-le-bone.

" St. Augustine, alias St. John, on turning westward on the other
side of the river Lea, is situated in the pleasant and healthful town
of Hackney, where divers nobles in former times had their country
seats, as one of the Earls of Northumberland, the Countess of War-
wick, Lord Brooke and others.

'' This Church at Hackney has been of late called by the name of
St, John's at Hackney, as though it belonged to the Knight Templars
of St. John at Jerusalem ; certainly they had a mill there once, and
some tenures in the Parish. But in an ancient record in the Tower,
it is found to have been written St. Augustine dc Hackney, and in the
Cotton Library there is a volume about the Knight Templars, where-
in mention is made of St. Augustine's at Hackney, and of the lands
and rents they had there, viz., about twelve acres, quit rents, and a
small mill commonly called Templars' Mill. There are, besides,
many antiquities concerning this Parish of Hackney, in the time of
Edward I., in the 19th of whose reign (1290) free warren was grant-
ed to Ilichard of Graves and Bishop of London.

" Hackney Church had, five hundred years ago, a distinct Priory
and Vicarage, as appears by a record in the Tower of Loudon, of
the value of that ecclesiastical preferment."

HABACKUK GLOVER. 99

It appears that Tliomas Glover removed from London, where he
was at the time of Judge Se wall's first visit, in 1686, to St. John;
Hackney, and tliere passed the remainder of his life. One of his
daughters was settled there, viz., Mrs. Elizabeth Trench, and perhaps
others, probably at the time he retired from business. At the time
of Judge Sewall's last visit, in 1689, he had arrived at the age of
seventy-two years, and had undoubtedly sought this place as a quiet
resort in which to close his life.

[Second Generation.']
HABACKUK GLOVER.

IL Habackuk Glover, the second son of Mr. John Glover and
Anna his wife, was born at Rainhill Parish, Prescot, Lancashire,
England, May 12, 1628, and died in Boston, in New England, in the
early part of the year 1693, in his 65th year. His remains were
deposited in the Granary Burying Ground.

At the age of two years he was brought by his parents to New
England, and lived in Dorchester until he attained the age of man-
hood. At the age of twenty-two years (1650), he was admitted to
join the first Church in Dorchester, Richard Mather being pastor
and was admitted freeman the same year. He continued to be a
member of the Church in Dorchester ten years, and on the 4 (9)
1660, was dismissed to join the first Church in Boston, Rev. Jolm
Wilson, pastor.

Wliile an inhabitant of Dorchester, he resided at the homestead
and carried on the business of tanning, which had been established
there by his father. He was a man of extensive business, and be-
came a large landholder, both by inheritance and purchase, not only
in Boston, Ixit in the adjacent towns, as Charlestown, Dorchesten
Milton, and other places.

3 (4) 1653 — he was married to Hannah Eliot, and resided for
a short time at the house of her father, the Rev. John Eliot. In
1654, he removed to Boston, and succeeded to the inheritance of his
father's " Boston Estate," which, according to the will of Mr. Glover,
was to be " one half of the new house in Boston nearest Mr. Webb's
house, one half of all the otlier housing, half the yard and tan-pits in
it, and all the other accommodations for tanning, with the sum of four

100 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

hundred pounds in money." After the decease of his mother he was
to come in possession of the whole or other half of the new house,
with all the other half of the housing, yard and tan-pits, goods, chat-
tels, and all the residue and remainder of the estate which was re-
served as the widow's dower, under the following canditions : by
paying to his brother Thomas Glover in London, England, ten
pounds; to his brother Nathaniel Glover.of Dorchester, forty pounds;
and to Harvard College, at Cambridge, five pounds a year forever.
The conditions were punctually fulfilled, as gathered by evidence on
record. The annuity to Harvard College was paid regularly by him
during his life, and since his decease in 1693 by his successors to
that estate.

Will of Mr. Hahackuk Glover.
I Habackuk Glover of Boston, in New England, being under bodily
weakness, but of sound, disposing mind and memory, and knowing

HABACKUK GLOVER. 103

There appears to be no account of his death, either by any record
or by tradition.

His will was made the 17th day of September, 1692, being then,
as he says, under bodily weakness, but of sound mind. He lived
six months after that event. Letters of administration on his estate
were granted to Mrs. Hannah Glover, widow and relict of Mr. Ha-
backuk Glover, April 4, 1693, and to Mrs. Rebeckah Clarke, his only
daughter. No inventory of his estate was ever rendered to the Court
of Probate.

There appears to be a mortgage deed from Jonathan Pratt to Mrs.
Hannah Glover, widow of Mr. Habackuk Glover, which was dis-
charged and exonerated by Mrs. Rebeckah Clarke, only child and
heir of Mr. Habackuk Glover and Hannah his wife, she personally
appearing after the decease of her mother and acknowledging that
she had received full satisfaction. (Boston, Feb. 25, 1708-9.)

Hannah Eliot, the wife of Mr. Habackuk Glover, was born in Rox-
bury, the 17th day of the seventh month, 1633, and died in Boston
the 8th day of February, 1708-9, aet. 75 years. She was the daugh-
ter of the Rev. John and Hannah (Mountfort) Eliot, of Roxbury. She
is noticed by those who have gathered up memorials of the life of her
father, the well-known Apostle to the Indians, as being eminently
devoted to religious duties in early life ; as " a dutiful daughter —
the only one who survived her parents — and who administered to
their comfort in their declining years." She was married to Mr. Glo-
ver, 3:4: 1653, and removed to Boston in 1654, it is said, although
both their children were born at the house of her father in Roxbury,
and baptized by him. (See depositions of Shubael and Joshua Sca-
ver, pp. 78, 79.)

16 2 mo. 1654, she was admitted to join the first Church in Boston.

Judge Sewall writes in his diary, under date of July 18, 1705,
" I visited this day Mrs. Hannah Glover, widow, who is blind. Father
and Mother Eliot were there."

Feb. 9, 1708. "The widow Hannah Glover dies, in the 76th
year of her age ; widow of Mr. Habackuk Glover, and daughter of
Mr. John Eliot, who married here, and this daughter of his was born
at Roxbury, so that this gentlewoman, tho' born in New England,
passed not only sixty but seventy years, and became a Great Grand
Mother in our Israel."

(2) REBECK AH GLOVER, only surviving daughter of Mr.
Habackuk and Hannah (Eliot) Glover, was born in Roxbury the
25th day of the 5th month, 1655, and baptized there by her maternal
grandfather, the Rev. John Eliot, 29 : 5 : 1655. She died in Boston.
Nov. 10th, 1711, in her 57th year, and was buried in the Stone
Chapel yard.

She was twice married; first, in 1672, at the age of about eight-
een years, to Capt. Thomas Smith, of Boston, mariner, by whom she
had eight children.

" May 16, 1680, Capt. Thomas Smith, with his wife Rebeckah, was
admitted to join the first Church in Boston in full communion." (Rec.
1st Church.)

Three of their children had been baptized previously under the
half covenant, as it was called, which was at that time admissible in
the New England churches. Capt. Thomas Smith died Nov. 8th
1688; and April 30th, 1691, she married a second time to Capt.
Thomas Clarke, a wealthy merchant of Boston. By him she had one
daughter, who married but left no issue.

Capt. Thomas Smith, the first husband of Rebeckah Glover, was
born in England (the place not ascertained), and died in Boston
Nov. 8, 1688. He was the son of Capt. Thomas Smith, Esq., who
was undoubtedly one of the Smythes of Essex County in England.
'^ In the parish of Blackmore, at the end of the Chancel, is the burial
place of the Ancient family of Smythes of this Parish, and in which
is a very old and decayed tomb erected to the memory of Thomas
Smythe, Esq., who died in the year 1594; and also of Margaret his
wife, and relict of Stephen Parvcl. Their effigies at full length are
fixed in this monument. Upon the floor are several other inscrip-
tions upon the gravestones of diff'erent branches of the family." Capt.
Thomas Smith, the husband of Rebeckah Glover, was a mariner and
shipmaster, in command of his own ship, making foreign voyages. He
was also a landholder to some extent in Boston and vicinity. At the

HABACKUK GLOVER. 105

time of his death he owned lands in Wenham, Bradford, and other
places in Essex County in New England. By his wife he succeeded
to the possession of the estate of Mr. Habackuk Glover on Dock
Square, and occupied the mansion house. He was the owner, also,
of several pieces of land which were conveyed to him by his father-
in-law, both before and after his marriage.

God, of sound disposing mind and memory, do make and ordain this
my last Will and Testament, in manner and form following ; hereby
revoking and making null and void all former Wills by me made.

First and principally, I recommend my spirit into the hands of
God who gave it, and my bod^'^ I remit unto the dust, to be devoutly

upon me, the same shall be disposed of in the following manner as

Imprimis. My Will is that all my just debts and funeral expenses
be well and truly paid, or ordered to be paid, by my Executrix, with
what speed may be after my decease.

Item. I give, devise and bequeath unto Rebecca, my Well beloved
Wife, for her heirs and assigns forever, one full third part of all my
housing, lands, farms, goods, chattels and Plate, whatsoever and
wheresoever it may be found, as well Real as Personal.

Item. I give, devise and bequeath the other two thirds part of all
my housing, lands, farms, goods, chattels and Plate, whatsoever and

beckah Smith, and to such other child as my wife may now be preg-
nant, to be equally divided and distributed to them and among them,
part and part alike, within the space of two years after either of my
children shall attain the age of Twenty One Years, or on the day of
Marriage, which may first happen and come. And if any of my chil-
dren happen to die before the age aforesaid, then the part or share of
such child or children who die young or before they marry, is to be
equally divided amongst all my remaining children, part and part
alike, and also my wife is to share with them in such division.

Item. I do nominate and constitute my said dear Wife Rebecca
Smith sole Executrix of this my said Will during the time of her wid-
owhood ; but upon her intermarriage or decease, I do hereby nomi-
nate and appoint my father-in-law Mr. Habackuk Glover, and my

brother-in-law Obadiah Gill, or so many of them as will be then living,
to be my Executors in trust in behalf of my children, to see this my
will duly performed. And to each of my said Executors I give the
sum of four pounds apiece in money, in testimony of my respect and
love. •

And I do give full power and authority unto my aforenamed Execu-
trix succeeding her, to make sale of my house and land situate in Bos-
ton, and my farm and land lying in Wenham, and my farm and land
lying in Bradford, or any of them, or any other land to me of right
belonging, if opportunity offer, and to seal and execute loyal Deeds

the produce thereof according to their good discretion, for the most

Capt. Thomas Clarke, the second husband of Rebeckah (Glover)
Smith, was born in Charlestown, Middlesex County, and baptized
there at the Old North Church (of which the First Church in Boston
was a branch), when four days old. "22 (6) 1657, Thomas, the
son of brother Thomas Clarke, was baptized by Rev. John Wilson."
He afterwards became an honorable and useful member of that
Church, and in his will gave to it a suitable portion of his substance
as a memorial of his love and interest. He was one of the most
eminent merchants of the early times of Boston, where he resided.
The house where he lived is said to have been situated at the North
End of Boston. A street and a square have since been named for
him, near the location. He died there December 16, 1732, in
his 76th jear.f He was twice married; the name of his fij.'st wife

[Fourth Generation.']

(3) ANNE SMITH, eldest daughter of Capt. Thomas and Re-
beckali (Glover) Smith, was born in Boston, baptized at the first
Church, Dec. 2, 1677, and died at Newport, R. I., about 1740, aged
63 years.

Oct. 14, 1715, she was married by the Rev. Samuel Myles to Na-
thaniel Kay, Esq., of Newport, R. I., and went there to reside. The
date of her death has not been obtained, but it is known that she
survived her husband about six years. They had no children.

A bust portrait of Nathaniel Kay, Esq., " Collector of the King's
Customs," has been preserved at Newport, and was in the family of
the Brentons a few years since. An interesting account of him may
be found in Updike's History of the Narragansett Church. He
was born in England about 1675, and died in Newport, R. L, April
14, 1734, aged 59 years. The following inscription is engraved on
a stone which covers his grave in Trinity Church yard, where his
remains were deposited. It is on the left of the entrance at the gate.

" This covers the dust of Nathaniel Kay, Esq., Collector of the
King's Customs at Newport, whose spirit returned to God on the 14th
day of April, Anno Domini 1734, after it had tabernacled in the
flesh here 59 years. He, after an example in life of Faith and Cha-
rity, did, by his last Will at his death, found and largely endow tAvo
Charity Schools in Newport and Bristol within his Collection."

He was one of the early friends of the Church, for we find his
name as one of the Vestry as soo:i as the year 1720. He was in
Newport as early as 1713. The records of Trinity Church notice
him thus : " Mr. Nathaniel Kay, Esq., Collector of the Queen's Reve-
nue in Rhode Island, who afterwards liberally endowed a school
connected with this Church, was among the signers to a petition to
the Queen for the establishment of Bishops in America."

His house stood on the site now occupied by George Engs, Esq.,
on the hill near the head of Townc Street. It was, when built, one

HABACKUK GLOVER. 113

of the most spacious and elegant of private dwellings in the town.
In his will, made a short time before his death, he bequeathed his
dwelling-house, coach-house, and other valuable property to his wife
Anne during her natural life ; after which he gives both his lots of
land to Trinity Church, at Newport, and four hundred pounds in
money of the currency of New England, to build a school-house for
the minister of the Church of England in Newport, Mr. Honeyman —
the lots of land lying in Rhode Island. In 1740, six years after his
death, the estate of Mr. Kay is said to have come into the possession
of the Church ; probably his wife died in that year. This estate has
since been sold, and it is said that at the present time none of it
remains in the hands of the Church. An account of the rents of the
lands and houses left by Mr. Kay for the use of a grammar master
at Newport, commencing April 1, 1765, shows the income to have
amounted to 64 pounds and 5 shillings sterling.

(5) THOMAS SMITH, eldest son of Capt. Thomas and Re-
beckah (Glover) Smith, was born in Boston, May 16, 1678, and died
in Saco, District of Maine, Feb. 19, 1742, in his 64th year.

At the age of twenty-one years he succeeded to the estate on Dock
Square, which formerly belonged to his great-grandfather, John
Glover, Esq., and passed by him to his grandfather, Mr. Habackuk
Glover, who left it to his only surviving child and heir, Rcbeckah,
the widow of Capt. Thomas Smith, Sen., who on her second marriage
with Capt. Thomas Clarke, left it in trust to Peter Sargeant and
Benjamin Brown, Esqrs., until her eldest son Thomas arrived at the
age of manhood. His share in the estate being only one fifth, the
other four-fifths were subsequently obtained from his brother John
and his sisters by deeds bearing date March 13, 1707, wherein "John
Smith, Merchant, of Boston, conveys to his brother Thomas Smith one
fifth part of a house and land situated at the head of the Great Dock
in Boston, with all its privileges and appurtenances;" and Anne
Smith and Rebeckah Smith in their rights, and Nathaniel Lyndall
and Elizabeth his wife in her right, also each convey to him one fifth
part of the same estate. The trustees, Peter Sargeant and Benjamin
Brown, Esqs., having performed their duty in carrying out the purport
and intention of the will of Capt. Thomas Smith, Sen., were discharged
from their bonds, and Thomas Smith the successor assumed the pay^
mcnt of the perpetual annuity to Harvard College, which before hau
11*

been paid by the trustees. He became a promineut man in Boston
and resided there till about 1730, at which time he left and settled
in Saco, Maine. He was largely engaged in the speculation of lands
at the eastward, and kept a block house or store-house for the supply
of the Indian tribes located in that region, and was some time known
as Truck Master for the Indians at Saco and the adjacent villages.
He left a large estate to his widow and surviving children.

Thomas Smith was twice married, and had, in all, thirteen child-
ren. First, May 9, 1701, he was married to Mary Oorwin, of Salem,
by whom he had eight children. She was the daughter of Judge
Corwin by his wife Elizabeth Sheafe, and was born in Salem about
1680, at the " Old Corwin House," which is said to be still standing
on the corner of Essex and North Streets. She died in Boston, July
27, 1716, aged thirty-six years, and Capt. Thomas Smith was mar-
ried a second time to Sarah Oliver, of Boston, daughter of Nathaniel
and Elizabeth (Brattle) Oliver, Oct. 9, 1717. By her he had five
children, who all died in infancy, or at a very young age. Sarah, his
second wife, survived him and held her right of dower in the estate
at Dock Square, and assumed tlie payment of the perpetual annuity
to Harvard College from the income during her life. The date of
her death has not been ascertained.

(8) JOHN SMITH, second son of Capt. Thomas and Rebeckah
(Glover) Smith, was born in Boston, July 1, 1681, and it is supposed
died there about 1737. He was a merchant in Boston, and was at
one time largely engaged in land speculations at the eastward. It
is stated in the Journal of his nephew. Rev. Thomas Smith of Port-
land, that he was at one time Proprietors' Clerk in North Yarmouth,
before that town was incorporated, and largely interested in the an-
cient town of Falmouth, now Portland.

In 1706 he purchased Long Island'^ of James Russell, of Charles-
town, Mass. A reference is made to this transaction in the will of
his mother, Mrs. Rebeckah Clarke, of Boston.

Under date of July 13, 1717, his name is enrolled among a list

*■ Lonff Island was one of the islands in Casco Bay, near Portland, and was said to contain
six Imiidicd and fifty acres of land lieionging to the town of Falmouth, in the Province of
Maine, but under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts.

of petitioners to the General Court of Massachusetts for protection
to the Proprietors' lands, and aid in building up the waste places
made desolate by ravages of the Indians.

He was co-Executor to his mother's will, in 1711-12. In 1724
his name appears on the agreement of the heirs of John Glover, Esq.
of Dorchester and Boston, as a sharer in the Common and Undivided
Lands in Dorchester New Grant.

Feb. 5, 1707, he was married, by Rev. Benjamin Colman, to Mar-
tha Brenton, of Bristol, R. I., eldest daughter of Major Ebenezer
Brenton, and grand-daughter of Gov. Brenton, of Rhode Island.
By her he had eight children ;

b. Dec. 7, 1708 ; d. Nov. 6, 1709, (Boston Rec.)
b. July 31, 1710 ; d. Sept. 8, 1716, aged 6 years,
b. April 27, 1712 ; d. Jan. 29, 1714, in her 2d year,
b. July 14, 1715 ; d. Oct. 14, 1716, aged 15 months,
b. Nov. 20, 1717 ; d. same year,
b. April 9, 1719.
b. Nov. 4, 1720.
b. April 21, 1723.

As no deaths are found recorded of the last three children, it is
supposed they lived to attain the age of maturity, and perhaps have
descendants ; but none of them have been identified or become known
to us.

(9) ELIZABETH SMITH, third daughter of Capt. Thomas and
Rebeckah (Glover) Smith, was born in Boston, Feb. 10, 1685; bap-
tized at the first Church there, Feb. 14, 1685, and died in Bristol, R. I.
She was twice married : first, to Nathaniel Lyndall, Esq., of Salem,
May 21, 1706, by whom she had two children. He was son of the
Hon. Timothy and Mary (Vcren) Lyndall, and was born in Salem,
Nov. 4, 1679. He became a merchant, and established himself in
Boston, where he resided at the time of his marriage, and died there
Sept. 2, 1711, in his thirty-second year, leaving a widow and one
child.

Children of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Smith) Lyndall, born in
Boston :

33. Nathaniel, b. Feb. 16, 1707-8, H. C. 1728 ; settled probably at

Newport, and died there in 1776,

Elizabeth (Smith) Lyndall was married a second time to Ebene-
zer Brenton, of Newport, R. I., March 6, 1712-13, and went there
to reside. She had one child by Ebenezer Brenton, and perhaps
others, a daughter Anne, who married first a Conckliu, who died ; and
on the 29th of December, 1749, she was married to Martin Howard,
Esq., at the house of her father. Major Ebenezer Brenton, by the
Rev. James McSparrow, D.D., Incumbent of St. Paul's Church in
Narragansctt. They resided, it is said, at Newport. There was
issue from this marriage — two daughters, one of whom married James
Center of Newport, R. I., and died soon after, and he married the
other daughter. There was issue from this marriage — Mary Cen-
ter, a granddaughter of Judge Howard, who married Capt. Harris, of
the revenue service, and resided in the mansion house of her grand-
father, situated on North Main Street. Mrs. Harris has since died.

Thus it appears that there were descendants in this line from
Ebenezer and Elizabeth (Smith) Brenton, which reached three genera-
tions, in the names of Howard, Center and Harris, who were lineally
descended from Habackuk Glover. Probably there were others who
have not been noticed.

JoH>^ Gore, the first husband of Rebeckah Smith, T^as the son of
John and Elizabeth Gore of Roxbury, born there in 1G82, and died
of smallpox at sea, on his return voyage from England, Nov. 7, 1720,
aged 38 years. He graduated at Harvard College in the class of
1702, was Librarian there from 1706 to 1707, and was admitted to
the first Church in Cambridge, January 6, 1707.

A sermon occasioned by his death, with an appendix containing
something of Mr. Gore's character, was prepared by Rev. William
Cooper, of Brattle Street Church ; the appendix by Rev. Benjamin
Colman, pastor of the same Church. The former was entitled " A
Sermon on the lamented death of that ingenious Gentleman, Mr.
John Gore, A.M., of Harvard College, in Cambridge, N. E., who died
of Small Pox on his return voyage from England, Nov. 7, 1720."
In the Appendix it is said :

" The death of Mr. John Gore, which occasioned it, was as lament-
ed a death as has of late been among us. There were several of his
near relations and mournful friends in the assembly to whom it was
preached."

In the preface it is written : " Mr. Gore was truly an ornament to
his country, to the College and to our Church. He was very much
the Honor of his order among us, a glory to his Profession, the beau-
ty of the Sea, of Sobriety, Modesty, Literature, and (in a Judgment
of Charity) of sincere unaffected piety, makes up his Just character-
He was fit to teach either in the school or the pulpit. He was the
same abroad as at home, in his ship as well as in his house. To con-
clude, the last act of his life shewed his generous regard to the safety
of his country ; for knowing well the terror the Town is in, of the
Small Pox, and having had seven of his company ill of that conta-
gious distemper on his voyage from London, he being the only per-
son remaining on board who had not had the distemper, when he
cast anchor, and having reason hourly to expect he might be taken
down with it, as indeed he was the next day, yet he would not come
on shore to his own house, but chose to keep on board his ship, in so
cold a season of the year and at such a distance from needed help,
rather than to endanger the Town by bringing sickness into it."

The Doctor adds also an observation by Mr. Prince of the News
Letter : He says, " Mr. Gore seemed to be set as a rare example
for all ship commanders and sea-faring men to observe ; that he ex-
celled in Mathematics and Philosophy. A young gentleman who

first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God who
gave it, and my body to the Earth or Sea to be buried in a decent

And as to my Worldly Estate it hath pleased Almighty God to bless

at her death Six Pounds to defray her funeral charges.

Item. If it shall please God to take awaj- my life abroad and pros-

miscarry and the insurance I have ordered to be made shall be paid

and Obadiah Gore, and my sister Margaret Ilealy, each of them the
sum of Ten Pounds, to be paid to them after the death of my Mother.
Item. I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved wife Rebecca,

mentioned my sole Executrix of this my last Will and Testament,

or daughter by me, I desire my very good friend and brother Mr.
John Jeffries will act as an Executor with my wife.

And 1 do hereby utterly disalloAv, revoke and disannul all and every
former Will, Testament, Legacy and bequest executed by me in any
ways before named, willed, bequeathed, Ratified and confirmed, and
this and no other to be my last Will and Testament. In witness

Signed, Sealed, Published and Declared by the said
John Gore as his last Will and Testament, in presence
of us, Richard Love,

Thomas Laneklin,

Henry Gibbs.

The above will was made three years before his death, and was
presented for probate by his widow Rebcckah Gore, in December,
1720.

Nathaniel Hubbakd, Esq., the second husband of Mrs. Rebecca
(Smith) Gore, was born in Boston, Oct. 13, 1680; graduated at
Harvard College in the class of 1698, and died at Rehoboth, Bristol
County, R. I., in 1748. He was the son of John and Anne (Leverett)
Hubbard, and grandson of Rev. William Hubbard, the historian of
New England. His father was an eminent merchant of Boston, and
for some years a resident in Braintree, where he was the owner of
extensive Iron Works, and carried on the iron business largely until
the time of his death. He died in Boston, January 8th, 1709-10.
His mother was Anne, daughter of Gov. John Leverett, of Mass.,
who died in Boston, March 16th, 1678-9. She died in 1717.

Nov. 29, 1693, Mr. Nathaniel Hubbard was chosen by the Church
at Braintree to go to Dedham as delegate to assist in the ordination
of Rev. Joseph Belcher. Mr. Torrey, Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Dan-
forth laid their hands upon the head of Mr. B., and Mr. Fiske gave
the Right Hand of Fellowship.

In 1708, he is said to have been a petitioner, with others of
Dorchester, for liberty to dig iron ore in the Undivided Lands iu
Dorchester New Grant.

He was of Braintree in 1713-14, and is said to have purchased
twenty-one acres of land there, situated near the Iron Works, and
bounded on the highway. There was a dwelling house, also a barn
and shop on this land, which, Oct. 12, 1720, he sold again to Tho-
mas Vinton, the former owner and grantor. He was soon after in
Dorchester, and makes another conveyance to Thomas Yinton, bloom-
er, of Braintree, of one acre and a half of land in Braintree, adjoin-
ing Monotaquod River, upon a part of which the Braintree Iron
Works now stand. He removed to Dorchester about this time, took
an activ.e part in the aflairs of town, and was chosen Moderator at
the town meetings. He owned land iu the south part of the town,
now Milton. His name stands among a list of those who were
liable to pay province tax iu the years 1720 to 1734.

124 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

He was twice married: first, at Braintree, Aug. 25, 1707, to Mrs.
Elizabeth Nelson, by Francis Malauny, Esq. They had four children,
born and recorded in Braintree, as follows : Elizabeth, born Dec. 9,
1708, m. Munday; John, born March 28, 1709-10; Nathan-
iel, born Feb. 28, 1711-12, m. Hannah Wiswall, of Dorchester, in
1763; Anna, born Nov. 12, 1713. Another son was born in Dor-
chester and recorded on Milton town records as follows : " Leverett, the
soa of Nathaniel Hubbard, Esq., was born in Dorchester, Dec. 23d,
1723." He had also a daughter Margaret, of whom no record of
birth has been found. His wife dying in 1724, he was married the
next year to Mrs. Rebeckah Gore, widow of John Gore, A.M., who
survived him. It has not been ascertained at what time he left Dor-
chester. He paid taxes there in 1739, but he was at Rehoboth some
time before that, and it is believed he removed there soon after his
second marriage. It is said he was a man highly distinguished for
his ability, learning and sound judgment. He became a prominent
man in Rehoboth, owned large estates there and in Bristol, was elect-
ed Judge of Probate for the County of Bristol, and continued to serve
in that honorable position until his decease in 1748. He was also
elected to other important offices, which he filled with honor and
distinction.

(12) THOMAS SMITH, eldest son of Capt. Thomas and Mary
(Corwin) Smith, was born in Boston, March 10, 1702, and died in
Portland, Monday, May 25, and was buried on Friday, May 29, 1795.
He graduated at Harvard College in the class of 1720, gave himself
to the study of Divinity, and became a clergyman. After preaching
as a candidate in several towns in New England, he was finally set-
tled in the ancient town of Falmouth (now Portland), in Maine. A
biographical memoir has been written of him by his colleague and
successor in the ministry, which is accessible to the public. It con-
tains an account of his life and acts, aided by his Journal, which he
commenced in 1719, and continued until within a few years of his
death, to 1788. This Journal covered a period of nearly seventy
years, and is exceedingly interesting, showing that both in public and
private life he was a man of uncommon excellence and ability, and
fulfilled all the duties which devolved on him with distinction and
honor.

Rev. Thomas Smith was thrice married : first, to Sarah Tyng, Sept.
12, 1728. She was a daughter of William Tyng, Esq., of Woburn,
was born there, and died in Portland, Oct. 1, 1742. They had eight
children.

March 1, 1744, he married, second, Mrs. Olive (Plaisted) Jordan,
the widow of Samuel Jordan, of Saco, Maine. She was a native of
Berwick in that State, and died suddenly in Portland, Jan. 3, 1763,
in her 65 th year.

He married, third, Aug. 12, 1766, the widow Elizabeth Wendell,
who survived him and died March 16, 1799, at the age of 83 years.

nov for the old arrears five years back, only would have the account
settled that they may know that I give them something considerable,
and that I never had it in view to get their money, but to do them
good and save their souls.

Item. My stock of Creatures, my Chaise, Saddles and bridles.

Item. My share in several tracts of land belonging to Munjoy's
estate, which are something in the dark, and therefore never purpose-
ly sought after by me.

Item. My share in my Aunt Corwin's Estate and my aunt Thach-
er's in Mr. Walley's hands.

There is a remark ou page 1 6 of the Journal to the import that
" Parson Smith " was probably drawn to the eastern country, and
acquired a taste for speculation in real estate from his kinsman John
Smith, a merchant of Boston, who was largely interested in lands in
North Yarmouth, before that town was incorporated, and was Clerk
of the Proprietors of Lands in that place and in Falmouth. He pur-
chased into the Munjoy estate titles and other claims of the old pro-
prietors, which required his presence there. Mr. Smith made other
purchases and speculations, which proved successful, as is stated
by his biographer.

Among his cotemporaries in the ministry were Thacher, Scwall,
Chccklcy, Prince, Webb and Chauncey, with all of whom he fre-
quently exchanged. In the year 1725 he preached seventeen sab-
baths at ancient Falmouth (Portland) before accepting a call there.
He preached at Maiden, Sandwich and Bellingham, and received a
call to settle at the latter place, but declined. He was invited to
preach in several other towns in Massachusetts and also in Maine.
He lived in an easy and hospitable style, suited to his wealth, enter-
taining not only the clergymen of that day, but all the most distin-
guished gentlemen of the age who visited that city were at times his
guests, and were freely and generously entertained by him. Among
these, he writes in his Journal, were the Governor and Lieut. Gover-
nor and other State officers, Winthrop, Hancock, and Bowdoin.
Masters of vessels who arrived there from Boston and other cities,
were welcomed to his house, and partook of his bounties. He enjoyed
festivals and entertainments, public and private, liked to attend din-
ner parties when given, and gave them often himself, and always
wrote and expressed himself highly gratified.

His funeral was attended by the Rev. Mr. Kellogg. A sermon
was preached on the sabbath after his funeral, by Rev. Samuel Deane,

his colleague and successor, a few extracts from wliicli, it is lioped^
will not be deemed superfluous.

The Churcli in ancient Falmouth was organized on the same day-
Mr. Smith was ordained its pastor. It was the first Church that was
formed to the eastward of Wells. " His pastoral relation was a
very happy one, and continued to the day of his decease, which was
sixty-eight years and two months and a half, and brought him into
the ninety-fourth year of his age. He preached in his turn until the
close of the year 1784, and has assisted in the work of the sanctuary
until within a year and a half of his decease, by his public prayers.
His faculties continued unimpaired, and he performed the service
with ability and edification. Not more than one instance is recol-
lected of a ministry in this country so long protracted. For a long
course of years he has been considered the most distinguished preach-
er in this part of the country.

" Though his voice was feeble, the excellency of his elocution,
accompanied with a venerable and becoming gravity, rendered his
performances very acceptable. Possessing in a high degree the gift
and spirit of prayer, devotion could not but be excited in the breasts
of the serious part of the audience,

" In sermons his composition was elegant, and his language chaste
and correct. Nor was he wanting in animation and pathos in delivery.
He was endowed with exquisite sensibility, a lively imagination, and
with an extraordinary strength of memory, which he retained with
but little abatement to the last. His house was noted for the resort
of foreigners and distinguished strangers from all parts of the coun-
try, and of his clerical brethren, where they were ever generously
entertained."

(13) JOHN SMITH, second son of Capt. Thomas and Mary
(Corwin) Smith, was born in Boston, Feb. 2d, 1703, and died there
April 6, 1768, aged 65 years. He graduated at Harvard College
in the class of 1722. He never studied any profession, but establish-
ed himself as a merchant in Boston, and was largely engaged in
the importation of goods from France and England, and became one
of the most distinguished among the early merchants of Boston.

He is thus noticed in the Journal of his brother, the Rev. Thomas
Smith, of Portland, old edition, p. 37 : —

(3B) PETER THACHER SMITH, second son of Rev. Thomas
and Sarah (Tyng) Smith, was born in Portland, June 14, 1731, and
died in Windham, Maine, Oct. 26, 1826, in his 9 6th year. He gradu-
ated at Harvard College, and took his first degree in 1753, at the age
of twenty -two years. After leaving college he followed the occupation
of school-teaching for some years — part of the time at Wey-
mouth, Mass. He also studied divinity. In 1759 he was called to
be a minister at Windham, and was ordained there in 1762. In
1790 he was dismissed from the ministry. He continued to reside
in Windham, and passed the remainder of his days at that
place : was appointed a magistrate, and filled several public offices
in the town. His biographer writes of him thus : " He was a man of
rare wit and humor, which he was never anxious to restrain ; and of
free and agreeable address. He was tall and portly in his person,
resembling more his mother's tlian his father's kindred. His venera-
ble appearance in the costume of the bygone age — his breeches,
three-cornered hat and ample coat — attracted general observation
as he occasionally visited the town of his birth (Portland), over the
ruius of which, after it was burned by the British troops in 1775, he
bitterly grieved, and which drew from him a sermon preached in tlio
old and shattered meeting-house soon after the sad event, from the
memorable words — 'He beheld the city and wept over it.' "

Peter Thacher Smith was twice married. First, to Elizabeth
Wendell, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Hunt) Wendell, in Bos-

"Thomas Saunders was the son of Joseph and Elizabeth Saunders,
and was born at George's River, in Maine, June 15, 1753. His
father was drowned when Thomas was four years old. He was
adopted into the family of a relative, Mrs. Gibbs, by whom his ex-
penses were paid. He graduated at Harvard College in 1772, and
except occasional employment during the war of the Revolution, is
believed to have spent his whole after life in teaching school. He
was a teacher of the town schtDol in Gloucester for several years ; and
subsequently was employed by individuals to take charge of a select
school. He had been in their employment but a short time, when,
in consequence of a severe and unmerited censure of his course as a
teacher, he gave way to a depression of spirits, which induced such
a state of mind as caused him to put an end to his existence, April
23, 1795."-*

* It is confidently believed from evidence gathered, that the above were the parents of
Mrs. Judith (Foster) Saunders, who was for many years an accomplished and successful
teacher of young ladies. In the early part of the year 1803 she came to Dorchester and
opcmed a boarding and day school for young ladies, and continued in that occupation until
her death, which took place in 1842. She was buried in the ancient Cemetery in Dorches-
ter, and has a gravestone on which her age is given as 67 years, which would make the
year of her birth 177o. Her school was kept in the large house situated on the slope of
Meeting-House Hill, and was the most celebrated one of the kind ever kept in Dorchester.
She received and educated not only young ladies in the town, but others from all parts of
the United States and the British Provinces. She was at first assisted by Miss Clementina
Beach, who subsequently became her co-worker and partner, and continued with her till
her death in 1842, when she closed the school, it having been in continuance about forty
years. Miss Sarah Elizabeth Doliver (No. 100), a near relative, was also an assistant at one
time in the school.

soon attained excellence in the histrionic and dramatic art. Their
first appearance in public was at the old Trcmont Theatre, on Tre.
mont Street, in Boston. They were eminently successful : and after
continuing there for a season, visited other cities, and have performed
in most of the large cities in the United States and in Europe. They
have acquired a competent fortune, and have contributed largely to
benevolent olijects. They have always maintained an irreproacha-
ble character. A few years ago. Miss Charlotte retired from the
stage, and has devoted herself to public readings whenever she ap-
pears before the public. She resides at the present time with her
brother, in London. In 1862 she visited Boston, and was present at
the opening of the Grand Organ, on which occasion she recited or
read to an admiring audience.

There are descendants in the line of Habackuk Glover in the ninth
and tenth generations, but few of them have been ascertained. His
line has been perpetuated mostly through his great-grandson, the
Rev. Thomas Smith. There may be some of the descendants of his
grandson, John Smith; and of Howard, from Elizabeth Brenton.
There may also be some of the descendants of John Smith, the
brother of Parson Smith, by the name of Pemberton, but they have
not been reported or reached. There are descendants of Rev. Peter
Thacher Smith, of the names of Farwell and Winslow, living in Tj-ngs-
boro,' Mass., and in Albion, Maine ; also of the name of Anderson
in Windham, and Saunders in Salem, who have not been reported.
The whole mnnber collected is one hundred and fifty-two, includ-
ing the few whicli have been rathcred of the tenth generation.

\_Second Generation.']

JOHN GLOVER, A.M.

III. John Glover, the third son of John Glover and Anna his
wife, was born at Rainhill Parish, in the town of Prescot, Lancashire,
England, Oct. 11, 1629, and died in Boston, Sept. 23, 1696, in his
67th year. He was buried Sept. 25, in the Granary Burial Ground.
Judge Sewall attended his funeral, and enters the following notice of
it in his diary.

- " 1696. Sept. 23. Mr. John Glover dies." " Sept. 25. Mr. John
Glover is buried; Col. Pyncheon, Col. Cook, Mr. Peter Sargeant
and Mr. Oakes were there."

Li 1630 he was brought to New England by his parents, and lived
with them at Dorchester until he attained the age of manhood. In
1647 he entered Harvard College, and graduated there in the class
of 1651. Soon after leaving College he engaged in commercial pur-
suits, and became a merchant of some eminence, importing goods
largely from London and other cities.

He was married late in life, or at the age of about fifty years, and
it is not known that he ever had any children. He was an exten-
sive landholder, both by purchase and inheritance. By his father's
will he was to receive two hundred pounds in money in addition to
what had been paid for his education, and at the decease of his
mother his share in Newbury Farm and other lands was one fourth
part, which was disposed of by Deeds of Gift and Sale a short time
before his death. He resided with his mother at the mansion house
in Boston, and in 1670 was appointed to continue the administration
of the Hon. John Glover's estate, in the place and by the consent of
Habackuk, his elder brother, after the decease of Mrs. Anna Glover
their mother. In 1671 he joined with his brother Habackuk in
the sale of a tract of land which belonged to the estate of their
father John Glover, Esq. of Dorchester and Boston, to Robert Bab-
cock of Milton, of two acres in the division of land which was laid
out to Mr. Glover on the south side of Neponset River. Habackuk
and John Glover certified to their father's hand writing.

In 1672 he purchased an estate of Joseph Lowell, of Boston
(cooper), situated as follows, viz. :

ceives, for the consideration of fifty pounds, one sixteenth part of
Newbury Farm, which belonged to his nephew John Glover (cooper),
the son of his brother Nathaniel Glover, who deceased in 1657, as

John Glover was married in or about 1680, to Elizabeth Franklin,
of Ipswich, who survived him and was appointed Executrix of his
estates in his last will. He was, at the time of his marriage, resid-

In 1684 he bought a mansion house and several tracts of land of
Joseph and Abigail Curtis, of Sudbury, in the County of Middlesex,

Dr. Stevens includes among his list of the early inhabitants of Sud-
bury, from 1684 to 1686, the names of "John Glover, Gent", and
Elizabeth his wife." He resided in Sudbury but a short time, and
appears not to have attended to any business, except the occasional
buying and selling of lands. In 1690 he removed again to Boston,
and lived in Summer Street until the close of his life. He was
admitted to join the first Congregational Church in Boston in 1693,
three years previous to his death.

In 1682 he sold a piece of salt marsh lying in Dorchester, to Isaac
Jones. Deed signed by John Glover and Elizabeth Glover.

Elizabeth Franklin, the wife of John Glover, was born in Bos-
ton the 3d day of the 8th month, 1638, and died there June 21, 1705
aged 67 years. She was the daughter of William and Alice (An-
drews) Franklin, of Boston. Her mother was the daughter of
Robert Andrews, Esq., of Ipswich, who died in Boston in 1641, and
Elizabeth her only child was removed to Ipswich and cared for by
her relations. Robert Andrews, after the death of his daughter
Alice, entered into an agreement (of which the following is an ex-
tract) with William Franklin, the father of Elizabeth : —

" As concerning the forty pounds portion of Alice, the late wife of
William Franklin and daughter of said Robert Andrews, it is to be
reserved for Elizabeth the daughter of said William Franklin and
Alice his late wife." Dated April 2, 1641, and signed by Robert
Andrews and William Franklin.

William Franklin's estate was said to be situated at or near Ben-
dall's Dock. He died in 1644. Elizabeth was educated by her
maternal uncle Thomas Andrews, who was for many years a celebrat-
ed teacher in Ipswich. He died in 1683, intestate, and Elizabeth,
who was at that time Elizabeth Glover, inherited one eighth part of
his estate, in common with the other nephews and niece.

of which sons are yet living ; so that by these it maj; appear that we
are nearly related to this Deceased Gentleman ; but in brief he hath
six nephews and two nieces as follows, viz. :

There is the son and daughter of his brother John Andrews, Dec**,
who are John Andrews and Sarah Cannon his Sister, which are con-
siderably debtors to his estate, as also,

NATHANIEL GLOVER.

IV. Nathaniel Glover, the fourth son of John Glover, Esq., aud
Anna his wife, was born in 1630-31, died in Dorchester, May 21?
1657, and was buried in the ancient burial ground of that town.
The grave-stone has gone to decay. There are but few acts of his
short life to be found on record. He attained the age of manhood
in Dorchester, and succeeded to the homestead at the time of his
father's removal to Boston in 1652. In that year he was married to
Mary Smith, of Dorchester. On the 2 2d of the 3d month he was
admitted to the Church there, in full communion. May 3, 1654,
he took the freeman's oath, and was recorded among the New Eng-
land Freemen. In 1655 he was chosen one of the Selectmen of Dor-
chester, and again in 1656 aud 1657. In 1655 he was appointed,
with others, to settle the bounds between Dorchester and Dedham.
He was also chosen to fill other offices in the town. By his father's
will, in addition to the Dorchester homestead estate already given
Mm, he was to receive four hundred pounds in money, and forty
pounds more to be paid to him by his brother Habackuk after the
death of his mother, Mrs. Anna Glover ; also one fourth part of Mr.
Glover's Newbury Farm, and one fourth part of the other lands re-
served as the widow's dower. He left a will, which is on file, proved

Mary Smith, the wife of Nathaniel Glover, was born at Toxtetli
Park, near Liverpool, Lancashire, England, the 20th day of July,
1630, and died in Barnstable the 29th day of July, 1703, aged 73
years. She was the daughter of Quartermaster John Smith and his
&st wife Mary Eyder of Toxteth Park. She was twice married ;
fii'st, in 1652, to Mr. Nathaniel Glover, of Dorchester, who died there
in May, 1657, aged 27 years. She was married, second, to the Hon.
Thomas Hinckley, of Barnstable (afterwards Governor of the Ply-
mouth Colony for many years), March 2, 1659-60." Her parents
are thus noticed in a manuscript Journal of the Rev. Mr. Prince :

" She was the only child of Mr. Quartermaster Smith, by his first
wife, formerly of Lancashire in England, and afterward of Dorches-
ter in New England. Her father had been a Quartermaster in the
army of the Netherlands, her mother a gentlewoman of a creditable
family and of eminent natural powers, piety and acquired accomplish-
ments. Of them she was born in Lancashire in England, in 1630.
Her parents living under the ministry of the Rev. Richard Mather
at Toxteth in that shire ; they came up and brought her with them
to Bristol, in order for New England, in April, 1635 j young Na-
thaniel, the son of the said Mr. Mather, being carried on one side in
a pannier, and this young Mrs. Mary on the other, as I have often
heard her say. May 23, 1635, she, with her father and mother, the
said Rev"** Richard Mather and Wife, their sons Samuel and Nathan-
iel, Mr. Jonathan Mitchell, then about 11 years of age, &c., set sail
from Bristol. In the night, between Aug. 14 and 15, coming on the

164 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

New England Coast, there arose an extreme hurricane, wherein they
were in the utmost danger and wondrously delivered (see the account
in the Life of Rev*^ Richard Mather in the Magnalia), and on Aug.
17th arrived at Boston. Her father and others settling at Dorches-
ter, and a new Church being gathered there, Aug. 23d, 1686, the
said Mr. Richard Mather became their teacher, under whose ministry-
she lived, unless when sent to school at Boston, where she enjoyed
Mr. Wilson's and Mr. Cotton's ministry."

Rev. Mr. Prince adds : " In , she married to Mr. Nathaniel

Glover, a son of the Hon. John Glover, Esq., of said Dorchester, by
whom she had Nathaniel and Ann. And then this husband dying,
she remained a widow until when she married the Hon''^ Thomas
Hinckley, Esq., of Barnstable, whither she removed, and had by him
Mercy, Experience, John, Abigail, Thankful, Ebenezer and Reli-
ance, who all grew up and married ; and all but Ebenezer, before
she died.

" At Barnstable, to the day of her death, she appeared and shone
in the eyes of all as the loveliest and brightest woman for beauty,
knowledge, wisdom, majesty, accomplishments and graces throughout
the Colony, And there her first son Nathaniel married to Hannah,
a daughter of the said Mr. Hinckley by his former wife. Her said
daughter Anne married to Mr. William Rawson, a son of Mr. Secre-
tary Rawson, Secretary of the Massachusetts Colony ; her daughter
Mercy to Mr. Samuel Prince, of Sandwich ; Experience, to Mr. James
Whipple, of Barnstable ; her son John, to Mrs. Trott, of Dorchester;
her daughter Abigail, to the Rev. Mr. Joseph Lord, of Dorchester,
South Carolina, afterwards of Chatham, on Cape Cod ; Thankful, to
the Rev'' Mr. Experience Mayhew, of Martha's Vineyard ; Reliance,
to the Rev"* Mr. Nathaniel Stone, of Harwich ; and after her death,
her son Ebenezer to Mrs. Stone, of Sudbury. Mrs. Hinckley died
July 29, 1703, in the 73d year of her age."

The writer visited her grave in the ancient cemetery at Barnsta-
ble, in the summer of 1856, and copied the following from her grave-
stone :

"Here lycth Y* Body of Y^ truly Virtuous and Praiseworthy
Mrs. Mary Hinckley, wife unto Mr. Thomas Hinckley, who departed
this life July 29"\ 1703, in Y« 73"^ year of her age."

Mary Smith joined the Church at Dorchester previous to her mar-

riagG; and -was snbseqiiently dismissed from it to join the Church at
Barnstable. The following is taken from the records of the Church
at Dorchester: "The 22"^ day of the 2"^ month, 1660, Mrs. Mary
Glover, whose maiden name was Mary Smith, and who lately mar-
ried with Gov. Thomas Hinckley, about Sandvrich, desired letters
of dismission to the Church there ; but they were not at that time
granted. It being so suddenly after her removal thither, and they
not being in a capacity for the enjoyment of the ordinances, having
no officers to dispense the same."

"23 (4) 1664, Was Mrs. Hinckley, who formerly was the wife of
Mr. Nathaniel Glover, dismissed to join the Church at Barnstable."

Mary Smith was promised a marriage portion by her father* on
her marriage with Mr. Nathaniel Glover, but, from a clause in her
father's will, it appears she did not receive it until some time after.
Quartermaster Smith's will, made December 30, 1676, was proved
July 25, 1678. The following are extracts from it: "Wife Katha-
rine and sons John and other children." " Whereas it is said my
daughter Mary Smith hath received part of her portion, it is to be
understood of my daughter Mary Pelton, who hath received about
twenty pounds or more, as by my books will appear, p. 166." " Last-
ly, as far as my daughter Mrs. Mary Hinckley is concerned, she is paid
what I promised her upon her marriage with Mr. Nathaniel Glover,
as will appear by a writing under her hand and seal, bearing date
1:9: 1660. Therefore I do not give her anything in this my Will.''

Mrs. Mary Glover's marriage with the Hon. Thomas Hinckley
was, for a time, resolutely opposed by the relatives and friends of her
former husband. She being young, or at the age of twenty-nine
years, at the time the grave subject was first presented for her con-
sideration, with three children of the tender ages of three, five and
six years, and possessing a competent estate and ability to rear and
educate them, it seemed absurd to those who were nearly connected
with her children, for her to enter into new relations with a man,
however exalted his worth or elevated his position, who had a

man-led a thkd time to Katherine Felton, widow, who survived him, and died in Boston,

ters, one of whom was John, who married Miriam (probably Deane), and died in Boston
in 1676. His widow was the ancient schoolmistress of Dorchester, and is buried iu the cciuo-
tcry there. She has a gravestone.

family of eiglit children, and was much her senior. To remove the
children to a new home in a distant Province or Colony, could not at
once be acquiesced in ; and to leave them at their tender age, seemed
equally inconsistent and unmotherly. Accordingly the Governor's
suit was rejected, although, it seems, not entirely abandoned by the
parties. The marriage was delayed for several montlis ; but after a
time the relatives became reconciled and gave their assent to it.
The following arrangements were accordingly entered into and
agreed upon.

An inventory of the estate of Mrs. Mary Glover was taken at her
request before her marriage with Gov. Thomas Hinckley, and pre-
sented to the Court by the " Honorable Thomas Hinckley and Mrs.
Mary Glover, he resigning all right and interest which his marriage
with her may give him in her Estate."

Thomas IIinckley, the second husband of Mary Smith, was the

son of Samuel and Sarah ( ) Hinckley, who came to New

England in the ship Hercules, of Sandwich, England, which sailed
about March, 1634. They brought with them four children, of whom
Thomas was the second son. The family originally was from the
-County of Kent, in England. At a small Parish called Egerton
(Tenderton), Thomas Hinckley was born in 1618, and baptized
there by the Rev. John Lathrop, a few days after his birth. His
parents, on their arrival in this country in 1634, settled iirst at Scitu-
afce, and in 1639 removed to Barnstable, where he attained the age
of manhood, and soon took an active and prominent part in the
affairs of the Colony. He was chosen Deputy as early as 1645; a
Magistrate and Assistant for the Colony of Plymouth from 1658 to
1680; elected Governor in 1681, and continued in that office —
except during the interruption caused by the appointment of Sir

period of fourteen years. Gov. Hinckley was chosen a Commissioner

Gov. Hinckley was a man of large estate — an extensive landhold-
er. He made a will dated Oct. 16, 1700, when he was 82 years old.
Appoints his beloved wife Mary to be sole executrix, and in the
event of her previous decease, sons John and Ebenezer to be her
successors ; bequeaths one half of all his estates to his wife Mary,
the other half to sons John and Ebenezer, who are to succeed to
the whole at her decease — including two hundred acres of land at
Little Compton, R. I., granted him by the General Court for his ser-
vices in the War of King Philip.

His will was signed Dec. 31, 1700, and witnessed by Jonathan
Russell, James Whippo, Jolui Jenkins and Martha Russell.

" Barxabas Lothrop, Commissioned by the Governor and Council for
the County of Barnstable.

To all persons before Avhom these Presents shall or may come or
concern — Greeting :

Know Ye — Tliat on the 2Tth day of April, 1V05, before me at Barn-
stable, the Will Within Written was proved, approved, and allowed so
far as it concerns and relates to the Real Estate of said Thomas
Hinckley, Dec**, who having while he lived and at the time of his
death Goods, Chattels and Credits in the aforesaid County — ^but by
reason that Mary Hinckley, Wife of the Deceased, died before the
Testator, Therefore the said Will is not allowed to be of any force for
the disposing- of the personal estate of the said Deceased, but Admin-
istration of all and singular of the Goods, Chattels and Rights and
Credits of the said Deceased was committed to Samuel Prince of Sand-
wich, Son-in-Law to the Testator, as witness my hand and scale of
ofEce set this 27th day of April, 1705. Barnabas Lothrop."

There appears to be an uncertainty as to the date of his death. It
is said by those who have written of him, that he died in 1706, The
following is the inscription on his gravestone or tomb-tablet, wliicli
was erected to liis memory in 1829, by one of his descendants* —
the old gravestone having been demolished by time.

"Beneath this stone, erected A.D. 1829, are deposited the mortal
remains of Thomas Hinckley, Esq., Gov. of Plymouth Colony. Ho
died A.D. 1706, aged 86 years, Plistory bears witness to his piety,
usefulness and agency in the public transactions. The important
offices he was called to fill evidence the esteem in which he was held
by the people. He was successively elected an Assistant and Gov-
ernor of Plymouth Colony, from 1658 to 1680, and continued to
discharge that office, excepting during the interruption of Sir Edmund
Andros — resumed the office of Governor in 1681, and continued
until the junction of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Colonies in
1692."

His death is thus noticed in Freeman's History of Cape Cod.

"In 1706, April 25, died suddenly in Barnstable, Gov. Thomas
Hinckley, at tlie a'lvanced age of 86 years. A gentleman of distin-

fragments of the gravestone of Mrs. Mary (Glover) Hinckley. A letter has just been re-
ceived from him stating that he is making an-angements for a monument to be erected over
her grave with a suitable inscription, and to have the lot which contains the Governor's
family inclosed with an iron fence.

line of thcu- son John Hinckley, who married Thankful Trott.

seen, filled a large space in the history of the County of Barnstable,
and especially in the affairs of the Plymouth Colony. In truth it
may be said it was his to fill a large space in the world's history.
He had stood by the cradle of the Colony in its infancy, and had
been, from first to last, the associate of its great and good men, in
weal or woe, and had lived, himself the chief among the surviving, to
see the last chapter written in its immortal annals."

Gov. Hinckley's verses on the death of his second consort, Mrs.
Mary (Glover) Hinckley, in which he enumerates her remarkable
virtues and traits of character, have been preserved and arc here
given :

" Pity me, Oh my friends, and for me pray
To him tliat can supply what's taken away.
My Crown has fallen from my head, and Wo,
Wo is unto me that has sinned so,
As to provoke the Lord to shew such ire,
Which I deserve against me should burn like fire.
God righteous is in all that he hath done ;
Yea, Good in lending her to me so long.
A blessing rich Forty three years and more
Had I been wise to have improved such store
Of Gifts and Grace wherewith she was endu'd,
I might in Grace have also much improved.
How prompt in heavenly discourse was she.
That to her own, and others good might be !
Out of her store came things both new and old,
Which she had read, or thought, or had been told.
How gi-eat my Bjnd to God for thankfulness
For such a Gift, for all my worthlessness.
The only Child her gracious Mother boi'e.
Ordained of God as a return of Prayer,
For which she with her friends employed a day
In private, and soon found it good to pray
Unto the God of Nature and of Grace,
Who thus approved their seeking of His Face
In forming this fair child to shew his Praise.
Endowed with virtues in her early days,
Which grew and shined in young and riper age,
And to her Maker's Praise did much engage
All those who knew her, both of late and old,
And proved as divers Godly Wise foretold.
She by her wisdom built the house, and by
Her prudent care kept all in such a way
And in such order, so as nought might be
A let or (hindrance) to worship in the family,
Or cause distraction on God's lltdy day.
Yes, both at morn and even as it was need,

She did in Household Worship always lead
Her family while in her widowed state ;
And in my absence, since she was my mate.
Whose good example may rebuke all those
"Who slight this duty and themselves expose
Unto the Wrath of God which hangs o'er all
Those families who on him do not call.
To rise up very early was her way ;
Enter her closet strait to read and pray,
And then to call and raise her family,
And lived to see a blessing great upon
Her prayers and prudent education
Of children, such a number for the Lord
Under his Gracious Covenant and Word,
That now may say, I am through Grace divine
Thy servant, daughter, son or handmaid thine.

She highly prized a Gospel ministry.

For its support was an example high ;

And while a Widow chose the Town should say

What was her part ; lest self from right should stray.

And always gave more than her Rate away.

Yea, ever first would pay that pious due.

Then other debts, and on the residue

Would wisely live, and help the poor she knew.

Nor ever any want she found thereby,

And counselled her friends the like to try.

But if they would till last let that alone.

They would find nought to pay it, all would be gone.

Which some have tried and found what she said true,

And so God was not robbed of his due.

As by God's grace she lived piously.

So by the same she lived righteously,

Ohusing that she and hers might wrongs receive

Than even the least to others give ;

Always a pattern of Sobriety,

Meek, lowly, peaceful, prone to Charity

And freely given to Hospitality ;

Behaved wisely in a perfect way

Both in the brightest and the darkest day.

She come in nothing short with count of many

Of highest praise of tongue or pen of any.

Great cause we have of pious thankfulness,

For that tho' sharpest pains did her distress.

For six weeks almost constantly that she

Could take no rest, nor in the night nor day.

Yet God preserved her mind and senses clear

With exercise of Grace, that we cjuld hear

Not the least murnmring nor impatient word,

But meek submission to her Sovereign Lord

Full of heart melting prayer and savory words

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 175

"Which joy and wonderment to all affords,

Whose hearts were moved to leave your homes and see

And help her in her great extremity.

Her last words were, " Come, dear Lord Jesus, come.

And take me quickly to thy bosom dear,"

And in a few minutes had her sours desire.

With Him whom she did love with heart entire.

Death was no terror to her nor fear,

No Ghastliness did in her face appear.

But sweet composure in her life and death.

When her dear soul she in her final breath

Resigned to him whom she beheld in faith :

Whose own she was and with him longed to be

Where she is free from sin and misery :

fehe entered into perfect endless rest,

And with the blest above is ever blest.

So that we have no reason to repine,

But thankfully and humbly to resign ;

To his most Wise and Righteous hand therein

Nor mourn for her, in plenitude of joy.

But for ourselves whom evils stiU annoy.

\

As a great loss to all the wisest deem,

Then sure to me and mine a loss extreme.

Now she has left, the gap is made a way

For evils to bear on us every day,

Where our iniquities deserved have

Unless the Lord please, as I humbly crave,

To give repentance and remission free

Of all our sins, of mine especially.

My great defect in point of Gratitude

In prizing and improving such a good

Which as a second miracle of Grace,

After the first, who no less pious was.

And love consort, both free gifts most rare

And both in answer unto humble prayer.

As soon as I my will resigned so

To God, as to be free that he should do

As most for his own Glory He should see,

Then did their several relatives agree

To say that they had opposed our match so long

They neither dared, nor would it more prolong.

Which was so far above all expectation

As made us to admire the Dispensation.

Yet that I such wondrous works could ere forget.

Does my offences greatly aggravate :

Which has so much dishonored his name

As justly may me fill with grief and shame.

And Oh that by his grace enabling me,

1 may with hate, yea, self abhorrency

Turn from all sin, and unto Jesus flee ;

Whose meritorious and precious blood

Can cleanse from sin and reconcile to God.

Oh, may he be most highly prized by me,

And as most precious may embraced be ;

May I to Him eternally be joined,

And in Him rest and satisfaction find.

By His good Spirit's mighty energy

My heart be purged from all impurity.

And filled with all grace and sanctity.

Awakened out of all my drowsy frames.

Raised up to lively heavenly views and aims,

Ever composed, humble, watchful be.

Especially upon God's Holy Day.

And when I read, hear, meditate and pray,

In holy duties never slightly be,

As if to approach the Glorious Majesty

Of God a light and trifling thing it were,

But ever look and speak to him with fear.

May bring forth much good fruit in my last days,

Living and doing more unto His praise.

Gaining much profit by Our Father's Rod,

Who can make all work out eternal good.

For all such merits great I beg the prayers

Of all who see these drops of aged tears.

That I and mine may by his mighty hand

Be kept through faith unto salvation.

And that we may neither slack or slothful be.

But follow him and that blest company,

Who through their faith and patience now possess

The full completion of the promises.

And we may fitted be at death to say,

Lord Jesus, come, and take us quick away,

To be with thee unto Eternal day.

Afflicted and distressed, but through undeserved Mercy not wholly forsaken.

[ Third Generation.^

(1) NATHANIEL GLOVER, the eldest son of Mr. Nathaniel
and Mary (Smith) Glover, was born in Dorchester, 30 : 1 : 1653, and
baptized 3: 2: 1653, by Rev. Richard Mather. He died at New-
bury farm in that town, January 6, 1723-4, aged 71 years, and
was buried in the westerly part of tlie ancient burial yard, where his
gravestone still remains, but the inscription is so much worn by time
as scarcely to be deciphered. At the age of seven years, in 1660,
he was placed under the guardianship of his uncle, Mr. Habackuk

NATHANIEL GLOVEE. 177

Glover, of Boston, who succeeded liis mother in that appointment
at the time of her marriage with Gov. Hinckley and removal to
Barnstable. He was placed at school in Boston, and resided in the
family of his grandmother, Mrs. Anna Glover, and after her decease,
in 1670, with his uncle and guardian until about the time of his
own marriage. In 1672-3, at the age of twenty years, he was
married to Hannah Hinckley, of Barnstable, and occupied the home-
stead at Dorchester a part of which was his inheritance, although, on
account of his minority, the estate remained as yet undivided.

In 1674, when he had attained the age of twenty-one years, the
homestead estate at Dorchester was ordered to be divided amongst
the children of Mr. Nathaniel Glover, deceased. (See page 169.)
Whether by the will of his father, or as the eldest son by right of
primogeniture, it is not stated, but the Court ordered one half of the
estate, with the house and buildings, to be settled on him as his por-
tion, and the other half part to be shared equally between his only
brother and sister, when they were of full age. He succeeded to
his inheritance, and continued the business of tanning, which had
been followed on the estate since the first occupation by his grand-
father in 1631, and was carried on by his father until his decease in
1657, and by the lessees until the period of his succession in 1674,
forty-three years from its commencement. In 1 700 he resigned the
business to his eldest son Nathaniel Glover, Jr., and the next year
removed with his family to the Newbury farm estate, a portion of
which was his by inheritance. By a deed of gift from his uncle John
Glover, and by purchase from the other heirs, he soon came in pos-
session of a considerable portion of that estate, with the houses and
buildings, which he retained until his death in 1723-4.

In 1677, the second day of the eighth month, he was admitted to
the Church at Dorchester;* also "Mrs. Hannah, the wife of Mr.
Nathaniel Glover." In 1683 he was elected constable, and was
afterwards chosen to serve as selectman, and continued in that office
a few years, the last in 1715.

selves to the government of the Church, and have assented to the doctrines and given

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 191

■ We Henry Leadbetter of Dorchester in New England, aged Eighty-
Six Years, and Elizabeth Weeks of said Dorchester, aged Eighty Five
Years, do testify and say that in the year 1648 we both of us lived
with Mr. John Glover of Dorchester aforesaid, who was afterwards a
Magistrate, and continued with him during his life.

And we do further testify that the said Mr. John Glover, who upon
the Kecords of the said Town of Dorchester is called " Mr. Glover,"
was one of the first or Original Proprietors of said Town.

And we do further testify and say, that the said Mr. John Glover
left his son Nathaniel Glover in the possession of his House and
Homestead in said town of Dorchester, The which House and Home-
stead was afterwards possessed by Nathaniel Glover Sen"^, now liv-
ing, who was the reputed son and heir to Mr. Nathaniel Glover afore-
said deceased, and Grandson to Mr. John Glover the Original Proprie-
tor in said Town of Dorchester.

The above-named Henry Leadbetter and Elizabeth Weeks person-

of the above-written deposition in perpetual Memoriam.

Penn Townsend, ) Justices of the
Timothy Clarke, j Peace.
(Endorsed January 13, 1718)
Recorded with the Records of Deeds
for the County of Sufiblk, Lib. 38,
fol. 186.

The above depositions were taken when it became necessary to
determine who were the heirs of Mr. John Glover, in order to make
a division of his Common and Undivided lands.

Towards the close of his life, Nathaniel Glover, Senior, was
brought into an unpleasant controversy with the proprietors of Dor-
chester New Grant about the Common and Undivided Lands, which
embarrassed and annoyed him. He was a shareholder of these
lands in the right of his grandfather, and in his own right he was
entitled to one half of the quantity of land as set out to Mr. Glover
in every single division of the proprietor's lands, as stated in the
first apportionment. It appears that in 1713 these lands were sur-
veyed, new proprietors admitted, and a new apportionment made,
which was so disproportionate to the grants made by the original
proprietors, that it caused much dissatisfaction among the sharehold-
ers, and they continued to keep possession in some places according
to the original apportionment. The controversy commenced in the
year 1718-19, by a petition for a partition of land in the possession

192 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

of Glovers, to which the petitioners claimed a right in common with
them in a tract containing eight hundred and eight acres, lying in the
township of Dorchester New Grant. It was brought by Ralph Pope
of Dorchester, Sherebiah Butt of Boston, Samuel Butt of Canter-
bury, Ct., Benjamin Billings of Dorchester, and Thomas Maudsley,
administrator on the estate of Samuel Rigbee, against Nathaniel
Glover, Sen., and Nathaniel Glover, Jr., as a suit for partition.
Judgment was rendered in the Inferior Court in favor of the peti-
tioners, and the Glovers appealed to the Superior Court, selecting
for their counsel the most able men of the time — Robert Auchrauty
and R. Buckminster, Esqrs. — whose abilit}', superior judgment and
knowledge of the English law were unsurpassed. The appellees also
employed eminent counsel. The Glovers appeared and entered a
Plea of Rights in their own names, and the case was committed to
a jury who returned for their verdict a reversion of the former
judgment of the Inferior Court, and decided that the Glovers should
receive, out of the twenty-five divisions, five hundred acres instead of
the two hundred which were granted at the Inferior Court, or three
hundred pounds in money and costs of court. The Glovers were
still dissatisfied, as were also their counsel.

The following documents, from original papers, give some account
of the controversy and the issue, commencing in 1719 and terminat-
ing in 1725, Nathaniel Glover, Sen., had passed to his rest, and the
case was continued by Nathaniel Glover, Jr., Avho was also himself a
proprietor in his own right and in the right of his father. Other
proprietors also, in other names, were dissatisfied with their appor-
tionments by the new proprietors, and on being sued for partition,
defended their claims, and consequently the controversy was pro-
longed to the period above stated.

Depositions were taken from tlie following persons : Henry Lead-
better and Elizabeth Weeks, January 13, 1718; and from John Black-
man and John Blackman, Jr., on March 18th, 1719, after the trial
and decision of the Inferior Court.

The Appealants Reasons of Appeal from the Judgement of an Inferior

Court of Common Pleas, holden at Boston on the First Tuesday io

October, 1718.

The Action was a Plea of Partition brought by the Appellees then
Plaintiffs against the Appealants for not dividing a certain Tract or
Parcel of Land containing Seven Hundred Acres, as described in the
Writ, to which for Issue the said Appealants pleaded " Not Guilty."
Nothing held in Common with them.

Thereupon the Cause was committed to the Jury, who find for the
Plaintiffs the Partition sued for, and costs of suit and Judgment
Accordingly. AVhich Judgment is wrong, erroneous, and ought to
be reversed : for the Reasons following.

That Judgment ouglit to have been for the Defendants (now Appeal-
ants). The Costs of Court.

For that the Defendants upon tryal disclaimed holding any part
of the said Premises in Common with the Appellees. Therefore
upon such disclaiming it is held to be absurd that they should be com-
pelled to make Partition or Division before the Appellees, by Trespass
of Ejectment, hath Established a Right in Common with the Now
Appealants. The Title whereby the Appellees pretend to hold in
Common with the Appealants is by a Vote of the Proprietors of Dor-
chester, dated September, 1713. At which time the said Proprietors
took upon themselves to make Divisions of the Common and Undivided
Lands of the Town, and stated proportions contrary to Justice, as
by the Original Records of the Town iipon Trial will appear.

Therefore the said Votes and Divisions should be made void and of
none effect, and the Appellees' Title consequently illegal.

But admitting the Appellees have a controverted Title to a Division
in the Premises ; surely that matter must be first tryed before they
can be admitted to a Partition, because in Partition the Law pre-
sumes the Title is not disputed, but admitted by the Defendants,
which Title the Appealants in this Case doth not admit.

Therefore the Appellees must by Judgment of Court establish their
Title before they can bring Partition. 4thly, The said Proprietors
took upon themselves to divide and distribute Lands that we're by for-
mer Votes of the Town of Dorchester appropriated ; and the Appeal-
ants having a particular stated interest therein, the same cannot be
restrained and Lessened but by a Jury of Twelve Men. For no man's
Property can by law be taken from him but by a Judicial Trial, and
cannot be Voted away by a Convention of Men.

Whereupon, for all which Reasons offered upon Tryal, the Appeal-
ants doubt not but your Honors, the Gentlemen of the Jury, will see
sufficient Cause to reverse the former Judgment and give your Ap-
pealants Costs of Court. R. AvcmiVTY, for Appmlants.

Statement of Judge AucJimuty hi the Case of Glovers vs. Dorchester
Frop'ietors.

Nathaniel Glover Sen^ of Dorchester, within the County of Suffolk
and in the Province of Massachusetts Bay in New England, Yeoman ;
and Nathaniel Glover Junior, of the same Town and County aforesaid,
Tanner. Being one of the Proprietors of the Undivided Lands in the
Township of Dorchester aforesaid. Appealed from the Judgment of
the Inferior Court begun and holden at Boston the first Tuesday of
March, 1718-19, wherein the Appealant was Plaintiff and the Appellees
Defendants in a Plea of a Case, viz. : Whereas, the said Proprietors
in the Year of Our Lord 1636, 1637 and 1638, stated the Propriety and
did order that the Lands within the Township of Dorchester afore-
said, should be divided in such proportions as follows, viz. :

That Mr. Glover of Dorchester aforesaid. Deceased, One of the
Original Proprietors of the aforesaid Dorchester Lands, under whom
the Plaintiffs claim as true and Lawful Heirs, Should have Thirty-Six
Acres, Two Quarters and Twenty-Five Rods of Land out of every
single division aforesaid.

Now the Plaintiffs in fact saith that Whereas the said Proprietors
have laid out Twenty-Five Divisions of Land so called, beyond the
Blew Hills in Dorchester New Grant (so called), as in Court shall
fully appear, in which said Divisions the Plaintiff saith there should be
laid out to him Nathaniel Glover Senior, son of Mr. Nathaniel Glover
of Dorchester Deceased (in 1657), and Grandson to the Honorable
John Glover, alias " Mr. Glover of Dorchester," Deceased 11 (12) 1653,
the number of Thirty-Six, Acres, Two Quarters and Twenty-Five Rods
of Land in each Division of the aforesaid Twenty-Five Divisions of
Land, which will amount to Nine Hundred and Sixteen Acres in the
Right aforesaid.

Yet Notwithstanding the Proprietors aforesaid have allowed or laid
out but Eight Acres in every single Division, which amounts to but Two
Hundred Acres in the Twenty-Five Divisions aforesaid, and which is
Seven Hundred and Sixteen Acres and One Quarter less than his due
Proportion. To the damage of the said Nathaniel Glover Sen'', of
(£1000) One Thousand Pounds.

At which Inferior Court Judgment was rendered for Nathaniel Glo-
ver Senior, and the Plaintiffs to recover against the Now Appellees
the sum of Seventy One Pounds, Twelve Shillings in money, damage
and Costs of Court.

Both Parties appeared, the which Judgment, Reasons of Appeal, and
all things touching the same, being fully hoard; the Case was com-
mitted to the Jury, who returned their Verdict upon Oath — 1st, That
they find for the Plaintiffs a Reversion of the former Judgment of the
[Inferior Court.]

Also Five Hundred Acres of Land in the Twenty-Five Divisions of
Land, over and above the Two Hundred Acres which he now pos-
sesses ; or, as an equivalent (,£300) Three Hundred Pounds in Money
and Costs of Court ; and that it therefore be considered that the Judg-
ment of the Inferior Court be reversed at his Majesty's Superior
Court, begun and Holden at Boston in the County of Suffolk on the
first Tuesday, 1719. Robert Auchmuty,

19.6 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

Plea of Nathaniel Glover, Senior, and Nathaniel Glover, Junior, for a
just Division of the Common and Undivided Lands.

We the Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands in Dor-
chester New Grant, send Greeting : Know ye, That a rnle of pro-
portion was made to Four Hundred and Eig'hty Proprietors on the
9th of May, One Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Seven, and every
Inhabitant then Incumbent in that Town had each man his proportion
made according to the Rule, a list whereof has been preserved to this
day. And an Order made the 16th of January, 1637, that all the land
within Dorchester (Common and Undivided Lands) shall be divided
according to said Rule, &c. The records of which in Court will
appear.

And the Law relating to said Lands stated each man's proportion
in each Division. And the law also gives the Proprietors a power to
order, improve and divide said lands ; But does not give a power to
state a new proportion thereby to cut off the former, being orderly and
regularly made as aforesaid. Yet notwithstanding some persons
privatel3% in the year 1713, took it upon themselves to make out a
List of Proprietors as they are called, with a new proportion, and
thereby cut off the former stated Proprietors. And ihoy, being so
great and so numerous when come together, that they can-ied all be-
fore them like a flood. And they got them a Book and entered there-
in the names of their new Proprietors. And for the support thereof
a AVarrant was obtained from Chief Justice Lynde for a Proprietors'
Meeting. And a Meeting was accordingly called. Edmund Quinsy
was chosen Moderator, and Samuel Paul (as he calls himself) Proprie-
tor's Clerk. And now they suppese themselves to be strong and un-
movable, and empowered to act for the former Proprietors. But they
had no particulars inserted in their Warrant to appoint any other way
for the calling of Meetings. And the Law says nothing shall be act-
ed at a Proprietor's Meeting but what is inserted in the Warrant of
the Chief Justice. And these Proprietors met by the said Warrant
and adjourned their Meeting, and no Moderater appearing, nor a new
one being chosen, the Warrant was dissolved, and the whole pretend-
ed Proprietors dropped with it, having nothing else to support it ; and
there being now no Warrant subsisting, and therefore no other Law-
ful Proprietors, it was thought needful and Lawful by Six of the Pro-
prietors to go to a Justice for a Warrant for a Proprietors' meeting,
for the purpose of i-eviving and bringing to life the Original Proprie-
tors who had been cut oflf, wronged and excluded by the aforesaid
new Usurpers.

But the New Proprietors being now somewhat afraid of such a
movement, they had proposed that so many of the Justices sliould
decide the case, and that there was a Warrant subsisting, which was
false. We were obliged to travel near Seventy miles to procure from
Mr. Justice Chandler a Warrant according to law for a Proprietors'
Meeting, in order to recover and maintain the Ancient Rights of the
Original Proprietors of the Town of Dorchester as aforesaid in 1713.
And a Proprietors' meeting of the Original and lawful Proprietors was
in December, 1719, called by virtue of a Warrant from Justice Chand-
ler, and as many as met accordingly chose Mr. Brewer Moderator,

and Preserved Capen was chosen Clerk, and another way appointed
to call Proprietors' Meetings for the future, agreeably to the law as
we consider it.* (Signed) Nathaniel Glover, Senior,

Dorchester, December 21, 1719. " At a meeting of the Original Proprietors or their legal
representatives, of Dorchester, at the Mecting-Housc, on the aforesaid day, Legally Warned
by virtue of a Wan-ant from Mr. John Chandler, &c. The same day Preserved Capen was
chosen Clerk for the Proprietors ; and Nathaniel Brewer, Timothy Tilestone, Joseph Hall,

and recognition of their claims by the Joint Stock Company, viz. : in 1636, 1637, 1638, meet-
ings were held and agreements were made as to rights of propriety and modes of division.
In 1651, the 1 (10), another meeting was held and apportionments made in the Three Divi-
sions, which did not extend to Dorchester New Grant. The 1 (14) 1663-4, William Stough-
ton, Esq., at a meeting of the Proprietors, brought in a return list of the rights of the Pro-
prietors under his own hand, as copied from his father's book, attested l)y Edward Rawson.
In 1667, 1681, 1697, and 1698, the Proprietors had met, and their proceedings were on record.
The Committee of 1719, above chosen, based their course of action on the transactions and
agi-eements of thek predecessors, and continued to call their meetings by virtue of a
Warrant.

controvers_y, wliich was prolonged until about six years after, will
appear in the history of his eldest sou, Nathaniel Glover, Jr.

(2) JOHN GLOVER, seeond son of Nathaniel and Mary
(Smith) Glover, was born in Dorchester, 15 (12) 1654, and baptized
18 (12) 1654, by Rev. Richard Mather, when three days old. He
died August 26th, 1690, in his 36th year, and was buried in the an-
cient burial yard, on the westerly side. He has a grave-stone.

In 1660, at the age of six years, his mother was married to Gov.
Thomas Hinckley and removed to Barnstable, and he was placed
under the guardianship of his uncle Mr. Habackuk Glover, and went
to reside with his grandmother, Mrs. Anna Glover, of Boston, where
he attended school until of a suitable age to acquire a trade. In 1668,
or about that time, when at the age of fourteen years, Antony Check-
ley, Esq., of Boston, was appointed to be his guardian in the place
of his uncle Habackuk Glover. He learned the cooper's trade;
but to whom he was apprenticed is not known. In all land trans-
actions or transfers he is designated by his trade, as " John Glover,
cooper," to distinguish him from his uncle John, who was " John
Glover, Gentleman," or " merchant." He was twice married : first, at

the age of about eighteen years, in 1672, to Mary ,* who died

in Dorchester, April 30, 1687, and is buried there. It is supposed
there were more children by this marriage than the one given below,
but they have not been identified or become known in this branch
of the family. The unfortunate circumstances which seem to be
connected with the life of John Glover (cooper), from the time of
his early marriage to the close of his short life ; his disposal of his
birthright and estate of inheritance ; his protracted illness, &c., con-
spire to cast an obscurity around his history, which if elucidated and
explained would be very interesting now to know. The tracing and
following out of those children which are inserted here, have been
attended with almost insurmountable difficulties, especially the one
by his first marriage, and the work is still incomplete. That con-
nected with the son by his last marriage has been almost as difficult ;

* From such evidence as could be collected, it appears that Marj-, the first wife of John
Glover (cooper), was in some way connected with the fauiily of Proctor. She may have been
a daughter of Samuel Proctor, who made a conveyance to John Glover in 1672. When the
estate was sold to Joseph Lowell, in 1675, Mary joins in the sale as an estate of inheritance.
The evidence is, however, too slight and indefinite to allow of any certainty in the
conclusion.

but in some lines the eighth generation has been reached. In 1G88
he was married a second time, to Miriam Smith, of Boston (a daugh-
ter of John Smith), who survived him, and died in Dorchester August
23d, 1720. They had one son.

In 1672, at the age of eighteen years, he purchased a house and
land in Boston, of Samuel Proctor (cooper). The conveyance is
from Samuel Proctor and Mary his wife to John Glover (cooper), of
Boston. The consideration, .£150. They alienate to him as follows:
" All that my now dwelling-house and the land on which it standeth.
Butted and Bounded as followeth — Northerly, on that part of the
house I formerly sold to Tliomas Sheepcote, and now in his posses-
sion ; Southerly, on land of Richard Wood ; Westerly, on land of
Mrs. Oliver (widow). And also all my piece of land lying between
the said housing and the land of Jonathan Balston, containing six
feet in breadth, always excepting and reserving unto the said Sheep-
cote and his heirs and assigns for ingress and egress and regi-ess
through the said six feet as aforesaid, so far as the Southernmost
part of said house extends and no farther ; which is to the middle of
the Chimney. To have and to hold the said Dwelling-house and
land unto him the said John Glover, his heirs and assigns forever.
He and they paying to the use of the free schools in Boston the sum
of Eight Shillings yearly and every year forever."

The above conveyance, although bargained for in 1672, was not
signed, as it appears, until three years after.

The instrument by which the above transfer was made, was ac-
knowledged in person, January 15, 1675, by Samuel Proctor and
Mary Proctor.

In 1674, two years after his first marriage, the Dorchester home-
stead estate was settled by an order from Court (see page 169), and
one fourth part was assigned to him as his share or portion. He
was still a minor, and Antony Checkley, Esq., of Boston, who had

been appointed his guardian, acted for him in the division with his
elder brother Nathaniel Glover, and in the subsequent subdivision
which was to be made between him and William Rawson, the hus-
band of his sister Anne.

He disposed of this inheritance soon after to his brother Nathaniel ;
and also to William Rawson, 5(11) 1675, of four acres of salt marsh.

March 13, 1675, John Glover (cooper) and Mary his wife sold
his house and land, purchased of Samuel Proctor, of Boston (cooper),
to Joseph Lowell — his wife Mary joining in the sale ot the premises,
as an estate of inheritance.

May 20, 1680, John Glover of Boston, merchant, conveys back
to his " Nephew John Glover of Boston, cooper, the one sixteenth
part of Newbury Farm, together with all the other rights and titles to
land which he received from his said Nephew by a deed of sale bear-

Glover of Boston, cooper, sold his right of inheritance in Newbury
farm, being one sixteenth part of said farm, to Ebenezer Billings of
Dorchester. Bounds described in deed, which was signed by John
Glover and Mary Glover, and acknowledged in person before Ed-

Soon after the confirmation of his inheritance in Newbury farm to
Ebenezer Billings, John Glover removed to Barnstable — or per-

Records, 1679, Vol. 6, p. 130: "Y^ names of such as stand pro-
pounded or approved to take their Freedom, were Samuel Sargent,
John Glover, William Bradford, Jun," July 7, 1680, the name of
John Glover appears in a list of witnesses in a protest made the 13th

John Glover vras for several years an inhabitant of Barnstable.
He owned a house and land there, and a cooper's shop. It is re-
corded on the Town Book of Records, in 1680, that in laying out a
new road, it is to "pass the shop of John Glover." January 9, 1684,
at a meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Barnstable, John Glo-
ver was admitted townsman. He took the oath of freeman in Barn-
stable, June 5, 1684. " The names of Freemen who stand pro-
pounded and approved to take their Freedom, and who took the
oath of fidelity at this Court, were Samuel Sargent, John Glover,
and William Bradford, Junior." Thomas Hinckley was then Gov-
ernor of the Plymouth Colony. In 1688 he was again in Dorches-
ter, and married to his second wife. In 1689 he had a son born to
him there, and in 1690 he died.

Copy from the inscription on his grave-stone :

" Here lies buried y® body of John Glover, a son of Mr. Nathaniel
Glover, of Dorchester. Deceased Aug. 25, 1690, aged 35 years."

Letters of administration were granted on the 21st day of August,
1693, to Timothy Thornton, on the Estate of John Glover (cooper),
deceased, intestate.

The following is a copy of the order for administration :

It has not been ascertained wlietlicr Timothy Thornton ever acted
on the above administration. No inventory appears on tlie Probate
Records of Suffolk County at the time required, or subsequently to
that time. It appears from the foregoing that all Mr. Glover's estate
in Boston had been disposed of, and all his rights of inheritance in
Dorchester and Milton, with his share of one sixteenth part of New-
bury fiirm. Of his property in Barnstable, also, there appears to be
no mention after he returned to Dorchester, which could have been
only about three years before his decease.

The following inventory and account was rendered to the Probate
Court in 1730, which, although forty years had elapsed, appears un-
mistakably to relate to the above John Glover, cooper.

Miriam Smith, the second wife of John Glover of Boston and
Barnstable, was born in Boston, and died in Dorchester, August 23,
1720. She was the fourth daughter of John and Miriam Smith, of
Boston. Her father was the eldest sou of Quarter-master John Smith,
l)y his second wife Mary, and was born in Dorchester. He died in
Boston, September 17, 1676, and left a widow and six children.
January 30, 1676-7, power of administration and letters were
granted on the estate of John Smith, Jr., late of Dorchester, to Miri-
am his widow and relict — she bringing in an inventory of said estate
upon oath, and giving bonds according to law. Inventory entered
and recorded 18 (12) 1676, vol. 12, folio 153, Suffolk Probate Rec-
ords. Taken by Richard Hall and Enoch Wis wall.

Miriam, the widow of John Smith, married a second time, about
16S0, to Ellis Wood, of Dcdham and Dorchester, who died in 1696.
Ho left a will, dated July 21, 169-1, wherein he appoints his beloved
wife Miriam sole executrix, and his worthy friends Elder James
Blake and Samuel Clapp, overseers. Witnessed by Ralph Hough-
ton, Nathaniel Glover and Samuel Topliff. She was distinguished

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 209

for piety and other rare gifts. For tlie remainder of her life, after
her second widowhood, she became a teacher of youth in Dorchester,
and devoted herself to that employment. She was a member of the
Church at Dorchester, and had her children presented for baptism,
as shown by the following extracts from the Church Records :

" 19 : 9 : 1682. Baptized the children of John Smith, Deceased,
and Miriam, afterwards the wife of Ellis Wood, viz. : James and
Mary, Anna, Miriam, Sarah and David." "10: 14: 1683. James
and Mary, the son and daughter of John Smith, Deceased; but their
mother, the Wife of Ellis Wood, being in full communion, James and
Mary being adults, this same day owned the Covenant."

Mrs. Miriam (Smith) Wood, the mother of Miriam, wife of John
Glover, died in Dorchester, and her death is thus recorded on the
Church Records: — "Died Oct. 29, 1706, the Ancient and pious
Widow Wood." She was buried in Dorchester, and has a grave-
stone at the Northwesterly part of the old burying yard, with the
following inscription :

" In Memory of Mrs. Miriam Wood, Widow of Ellis Wood, and
formerly Wife of John Smith, Deceased ; died in Dorchester, Oct.
29, 1706. Aged 73 years.

A Woman well beloved of all her neighbours

From her care of small folks education,

Their number being great,

That when she died she scarcely left her Mate.

So wise, discreet was her behaviours,

That she was well esteemed by all her neighbours.

She lived in love with all, to dye

So let her rest to Eternaty."

Her age at death, as nearly as can be deciphered from the grave-
stone, was 73 years, which seems to confirm the conjecture that be^
fore marriage she was Miriam Deane, daughter of Stephen Deane,
of Plymouth.

Thus it appears that Miriam Smith was presented for baptism by
her mother about six years after the death of her father. The
precise date of her marriage with John Glover has not been ascer-
tained by any record, but the following notice appears on the records
of the Dorchester Church. " 20 (3) 1688. Miriam, the wife of John
Glover and daughter of John Smith, Dec'', owned the Covenant."
Their only son, " John, the son of John Glover, was baptized May
12, 1689, not in full communion."

(3) ANNE GLOVER, only daughter of Mr. Natlianiel and
Mary (Smith) Glover, was born in Dorchester in the year 1656, and
died in Braiutree at the Rawson homestead about 1730, aged 74
years. The place of her burial is supposed to be in the ancient
cemetery at Quincy. At the age of four years, in 1660, her mother,
being married to Gov. Thomas Hinckley, went tO Barnstable to live,
leaving her children in Boston under the care of Mrs. Anna Glover,
their grandmother, and under their duly appointed guardians, Mr.
Habackuk Glover and Mr. John Gurnell, who had the care of their
education. After the decease of her grandmother in 1670, she went
to reside in the family of her uncle Habackuk Glover, where she
remained until her marriage. In 1673, at the age of eighteen years,
she was married, at the house of her uncle and guardian, to Mr.
"William Rawson, a wealthy merchant of Boston, of distinguished
family and connections. The following is a copy of the record of
her marriage, as taken from the ancient family Bible, now in the pos-
session of one of the Rawson descendants.

" This may certify all whomsoever it may concern, that on y® 11"*
day of July, 1673, on a certificate I received that William Rawson
and Anne Glover y*" daughter of the late Mr. Nathaniel Glover had been
duly and legally published, I joined them in marriage, at the house
and in the presence of Mr. Habackuk Glover, his wife, Mr. Edward
Rawson, father of the said William, and other friends ; as witness
my hand, this 31" day of July, 16T3. Edward Tyng, Ass'U."

"27 (6) 1676, was Anne, the daughter of Mr. Nathaniel Glover,
now wife unto William Rawson, dismissed unto the third Church in
Boston, though not in full communion, but by her father's Covenant."
— Dorchester Church Records.

It appears from the records of the first Church in Boston, that
William and Anne Rawson were received and admitted to that
Church, 27 (2) 1676.

Dorcas, her negro, being a member of the Church in Dorchester,
was dismissed 27 (6) 1676, to join the first Church at Boston; and
24 (4) 1677, was received and admitted to the latter Church.

The inherited estate of Anne Glover was one fourth part of the
Dorchester homestead, which formerly belonged to her father, Mr-
Nathaniel Glover, deceased, and which was settled on her by an
order of Court in 1674, one year after her marriage; one twelfth
part of Newbury farm, which formerly belonged to her grandfather,

Attest : Joseph Webb, Clerk.

William Rawson, the husband of Anne Glover, was born in Bos-
ton, May 21, 1651 ; was baptized " 26 (3) 1651," and died in Brain-
tree, September 20, 1726, in his 75th year. He was the third son of
Edward and Rachael (Perne) Rawson, who came from Gillingham
in Dorsetshire, England, and settled in Newbury in the Colony of
Massachusetts in New England, in the year 1636 or '37. His
father was a lineal descendant of Sir Edward Rawson of that Coun-
ty, and was born at the village of Gillingham, upon the River
Stour, April 16, 1615. On his arrival at Newbury he was first
made freeman in March, 1637-8, and in April of the same year
was invested with the office of Public Notary and Registrar for the
town of Newbury. He was elected Representative, and served
the town in that capacity from 1639 to 1643. He was seven years
a Deputy to the General Court at Boston, from 1643 to 1650, and
held at the same time the office of Clerk of the Deputies from 1645.
May 22, 1650, he was elected to the office of Secretary of the
Massachusetts Colony in New England, and served in that capa-
city until his decease. He removed to Boston in 1650, and died
there August 27th, 1693, at the age of 78 years.

The mother of William Rawson was a granddaughter of Rev.
John Hooker, whose wife was Rachael Grindall, a sister of Dr.
Edmund Grindall, Archbishop of Canterbury in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. His paternal grandmother was a sister of the Rev. John
Wilson. Thus he was descended from two of New England's great-
est divines, and collaterally connected with the distinguished Arch-
bishop of Canterbury.

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 213

William Rawson was educated to a mercantile life, and became a
prominent merchant and an importer of foreign goods. He resided
with his father, at the time of his marriage, in Rawson's lane, now
Bromfield Street, Boston, where he kept a dry goods store. At the
ago of twenty-two years he was married to Anne Glover, and sub-
sequently purchased a house of Mr. John Glover, of Boston, uncle to
his wife. In 1689 he sold his estate in Boston to Mr. Glover of
whom he purchased, and removed with his family to Dorchester, re-
siding on a portion of Newbury farm, the inheritance of his wife.
He afterwards purchased a tract of land, for a homestead estate, of
the heirs of his great uncle, the Rev. John Wilson — " being a por-
tion of the Grant made to that distinguished Divine by the General
Court of the Colony."

This estate was situated in Braintree, adjoining the homestead of
the Hon. Josiah Quincy, and extending to the lands of the Newbury
farm estate on the north. It has passed down to the succeeding gene-
rations of his descendants until the present time. It was first set-
tled on his son David Rawson, who left it to his son Jonathan Raw-
son in 1760. Jonathan Rawson, Jr., in 1782, succeeded to his father
in the possession and occupation, and left it at his decease, in 1819?
to his son Samuel Rawson, who resided there until his death in 1858.
He died unmarried. His sisters still occupy and possess it. They
are of the fifth generation from William and Anne (Glover) Rawson,
and the seventh from the Hon. John Glover, of Boston, by dkect
descent. The Family Bible of Secretary Rawson descended to his
son William, together ^vith his portrait and other relics, all of which
have been carefully preserved by his descendants. A Rawson Me-
morial has been gathered and published by a descendant.*

* Mr. Reuben Rawson Dodge — who is a lineal descendant of Secretary Rawson, by the
line of his son, the Rev. Grindell Rawson, of Mendon, a brother of William, whose history
is given above — has gathered and published the " Rawson Memorials." The work is of
much interest, and contains two original portraits — one of Secretary Rawson, the other
of his daughter Rcljccca, whose unfortunate history he has given in detail. The following
is the description of the Family Bible of Edward Rawson, his first American ancestor, as it
appeared in the Worcester Daily Spy : " The Bible is in folio, but the title page and the books
of Genesis and Exodus arc wanting. It is of the Geneva version, ti-anslated and pul)lishecl
by the EngUsh reformers who fled to that city during the persecution in Queen Mary's time,
and which was the favorite version of the Puritans long after the translation made by order
of King James was published. Mr. George LiveiTnore, a very competent judge, believes it
to have l3cen printed as early as 1520, or before." It contains the birth of Edward Rawson,
in 1615; the date of his death, in 1693; the births of all his cluldren, twelve in number; the
man-iage ceitificatc given of Wellcom Rawson, with the births of his twenty children, deaths,
and other items.

{^Fourth Generation.']

(6) NATHANIEL GLOYER, eldest son of Nathaniel and
Hannah (Hinckley) Glover, was born at the Dorchester homestead,
November 10, 1676, baptized the 13th of the same month, and
died in London, England, on the 13th of March, 1726, in his fiftieth
year. He left a widow and six children. He is said to have been
remarkable for his early piety. At the age of ten years he volunta-
rily gave himself to the watch and care of the Church in Dorchester,
and was admitted as a member in full communion at the age of
twenty years. " Since August," say the Church Records, " unto this
instant, Dec. 1696, the following persons, having been proved by
the pastor as to their knowledge and experience, and by the congre-
gation as to conversation, publicly took hold on the covenant, viz.,
young Nathaniel Glover (jun.), Mary Glover," and others. During
his minority, he was engaged in the tanning business, carried on by
his father on the Glover estate. At the age of twenty -four years, Nov.
13, 1701, he was married to Rachael Marsh, of Braintree, by the Wor-
shipful Mr. Wilson. She was the daughter of Alexander and Martha
Marsh, of Braintree, and was born there 12 : 2 : 1673. Soon after her
marriage, she was admitted to join the Church at Dorchester. The
Records inform us — " Among those names of such as were examin-
ed, allowed and propounded before the Church for laying hold on
the Covenant, Feb. 3, 1701-2, were Nathaniel Glover's wife Rachael,
Elizabeth and Hannah Glover." She died April 10, 1752, aged 79
years. They had seven children, all baptized at the Church with
which they were in full communion.

Nathaniel Glover, Jr., was, like his progenitors, an extensive land-
holder, and belonged to the class of Joint Stock and Landed Propri-
etors. In 1 700 he came in possession of the Dorchester homestead,

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 219

wliicli had come down to liim in a direct line from tlic Hon. Jolm
Glover, his first American ancestor. He received it from his father>
Nathaniel Glover, Sen,, by a deed of gift, as recorded among the acts
of the latter, page 185. In addition to the homestead, he came in
possession, in right of his wife Rachael, of land in Braintree, and a
house and land in Boston. He also purchased several other tracts of
land, and was a shareholder in the Common and Undivided Lands in
Dorchester New Grant. The homestead estate contained one hun-
dred and eighty acres. Feb. 16, 1713-14, he purchased a piece of
land, adjoining his estate, of Hannah Hix, relict widow of Samuel
Hix — consideration, twenty pounds — containing two and a half
acres.

In 1715, Nathaniel Glover, Jr., at the age of thirty-five years, was
chosen one of the Selectmen for the town of Dorchester, and was
again chosen the two succeeding years. It has been said of him that
he fulfilled the duties of that office with ability and honor, and re-
tired from it, having the entire approbation of the inhabitants of
the town. In 1715, he made a donation or gift to the Proprietors
of the new Church in Summer Street, Boston, towards the building
of that Church.

Being largely interested in the Common and Undivided Lands in
Dorchester New Grant, he was a constant attendant on the meetings
of the Proprietors. Another survey of these lands was commenced
in the winter of 1714. In 1716, Nathaniel Glover, Sen., and Na-
thaniel Glover, Jr., were appointed, with others, a committee for
examining and apportioning the lots ; for making laws, calling meet-
ings, and securing their rights from innovators. He was one of
every committee, elected by the Proprietors, and sometimes acted as
Proprietors' Clerk. At a meeting of the Proprietors in Dorchester,
December 21, 1719, already referred to, a Committee was chosen,
who in June following reported that " they find by computation that
there is land sufficient in the township of Dorchester, that never has
been divided, to make one hundred and fifty divisions to every pro-
prietor." Therefore they proceeded to choose a Committee to lay out
" to every such proprietor that can prove his right and propriety in
every division of land yet undivided throughout the township of
Dorchester to Plymouth bounds, the whole of his right togetlicr, or
in as many parts as he sees cause ; he giving into the hands of the
Committee in writing the place Avhcre, and tlie bounds, and the num-

ber of acres he would have laid out, and the said Committee shall be
obliged to lay out on the very spot to the man who first desires it ia
writing."

In 1718, Nathaniel Glover, Jr., quit-claimed rights in the Com-
mon and Undivided Lands in the Township of Dorchester, as
follows :

To Nathaniel Glover, Sen.

To all Chrisfian People to whom these Presents shall come, Greeting-.
Know Ye, that I Nathaniel Glover, Junior, of Dorchester, Tanner, in

of the Common and Undivided Lands in Dorchester aforesaid, Have
given, granted, and by these Presents for certain reasons and con-
siderations me thereunto moving, do freely, clearly and absolutely
give, grant, quit-claim and confirm unto my Honored Father, Mr.
Nathaniel Glover, of said Dorchester, Husbandman, Six hundred and
sixty eight acres of my (as yet) Common and Undivided Lands in the
New Grant in the Township of Dorchester aforesaid. The said land
hereby given him the said Nathaniel Glover, to be sett oflT to him in
such places as by lott it may happen to fall in the subdivision that
shall hereafter be made betwixt us, when that my own Rights shall
be set ofl" to me at the division of the whole Undivided lands in the
Township of said Dorchester. To have and to hold the said Six hun-
dred and Sixty Eight Acres, to him (my father), his heirs and assigns,
to his and their own and proper use forever.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this tenth
day of September, 1718. (Signed) Nathaniel Glover, Jr.

June 6, 1720, at a meeting of the Proprietors, Nathaniel Brewer,
Joseph Hall and Nathaniel Glover, Jr., were chosen a Committee for
the purpose of laying out to every such proprietor that cap prove
his right and propriety, his true and proper apportionment. It was
also ordered that every man should bear the charges of laying out
his own land.

December 17, 1720, Nathaniel Glover, Jr., Nathaniel Brewer and
Jonatlian Blake were appointed a Committee, and empowered to sell
land, or timber, or ore, on any part of Dorchester New Grant. Mr.
Glover was continued on the Committee until the close of their
labors.

NATHAXIEL GLOVER. 221

The work of surveying and apportioning these lands progressed
slowly ; the first and second generations, and very many of the third,
had passed to their rest, with no otlier benefit arising from their own-
ership and inheritance than that derived from the anticipation that
at some time in the future they or their descendants would come in
possession of extensive and valuable lands, which could be by them
possessed and improved as Manorial estates. That such hopes were
entertained and cherished by many of the Joint Stock Company, has
been settled by writers of that time who had opportunity to become
acquainted with theti- motives and lofty aims. These hopes and visions
were never realized. When apportioned and entered upon, in cases
where the claimants possessed sufficient courage to occupy and be-
come inhabitants of such a wilderness as was that sterile and unin-
viting region between Blue Hills on the North and the Colony line
on the South, their visions vanislied like " castles in the air." Very
many of them were dissatisfied with their allotments, and not without
reason, probably, as new proprietors had come in and taken the
places of the original ones, and many were displaced and dispossess-
ed entirely by persons who had taken up lauds and settled on them
without any inheritance or title. This was the case with the Glo-
vers, much of the land allotted to them being claimed by usurpers,
and could never be recovered except by a suit at law, to which they
had an hereditary aversion, unless driven to it on the defensive.
Nathaniel Glover, Jr., aside from his propriety, or inheritance from
his father, became also a proprietor in his own right of nearly one
thousand acres, very little of which was ever recovered. In the
Twenty-five Divisions, now situated in Stoughton, in the allotment
he received just one fourth of what was laid out originally to
Mr. Glover, and one half of what was apportioned to his father.
In Dead Swamp, 48th lot, he was to have two acres two quarters in
every division. In 9th lot, in Burnt Swamp and Iron Mine Meadow,
three acres of meadow bottom ; and so in all the other divisions,
wherever the names of his father and grandfather occur.

In 1722-3, Nathaniel Glover, Jr., as committee with Nathaniel
Brewer and Jonathan Blake, sold a tract of land in Dorchester New
Grant, called Iron Mine Moalow, or Burnt Swamp, to James Leon-
ard, of Taunton, in the County of Bristol ; witnessed by Joseph Bass
and Rachael Glover.

in every division of Dorchester New Grant.

March 3, 1724-5, he, with his wife, sold to Ebenezer Clough, of
Boston, their " Messuage, Dwelling House, Shop, Barr, Yard, Gar-
dens, and all the land belonging to them, under, about and around
the premises, at the southerly end of Boston."

June 17, 1724, he sold a tract of land in Dorchester New Grant
to Eleazer Carver.

March 31, 1725, appears to be the last date in which his signature
can be found in relation to the sale of any land. The following

all join, is here given :

Nathaniel Glover, Jr., coutiuiied to act as Committee and in defence
of his rights and the rights of the original Proprietors against the
new ones, and the conflict was continued. The judgment obtained
at his Majesty's Superior Court begun and holden at Boston on the
first Tuesday in May, 1719, was not accepted. An appeal was made
through the Governor and Assistants, to the General Court at Bos-
ton. A hearing was obtained before that body, but without success.
It was proposed by the original Proprietors, who claimed under the
apportionment of 1636, '37 and '38, as recorded on the Records of
the Company's lands, that Nathaniel Glover, Jr., should be appointed,
in case of a failure before this Court of the Colony, to proceed to
England and plead their case before the King in Council. The
reigning King at this time was George I., and it was finally deter-
mined by the injured claimants to lay their case before his Majesty
and obtain a decision from the Courts of Great Britain. Nathaniel
Glover was accordingly chosen as their agent. The following ac-
count was related to the writer by a distinguished and venerable
great grandson of his, now deceased. It describes his appearance
and characteristics at the final decision before the Superior Court,
previous to his departure for England.

" Nathaniel Glover, Jr.," says the narrator, " was present, and re-
ceived it with becoming coolness and self-control. He arose and
addressed the Court, making a collected statement of the great wrong
which had been done, not only to himself, in his own personal rights,
but to his ancestors, and announced his intention of appealing to the
Court of Great Britain, where he expressed himself fully assured of
having justice granted him." It is said, also, that his personal ap-
pearance was majestic, and awed the Court, causing some of his ene-
mies to tremble. '•' He was dressed in the full style of gentlemen
at that time, with Coat of scarlet Broadcloth, the skirts plaited and
wadded, reaching below the knee ; full sleeves, with cuffs reaching
below the elbow, and wristbands fringed with lace j an embroidered
band lay around the top with tassels in front. The trimmings which
adorned the garment were of gold and silver, wrought in fringe or
lace, and spread over it. Small Clothes or breeches of buff
colour, with points of Ribbon at the knee ; the Vest of buff" colour,
fringed witli lace. Buckles of Silver on the knees and on the Shoes."
A powdered wig and three-cornered hat completed tlic dress, as it
has been graphically described by the descendant alluded to.

224 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

After making all necessary arrangements for his family, and col-
lecting the requisite documents and copies of Court proceedings, he
sailed for England in the month of April, 1725. He arrived safely
in England and proceeded to London, where he obtained a hearing
of his case before the King in Council. He was soon attacked, how-
ever, with a fatal disease, and died before the consummation of his
object. Thus closed the pursuit which had occupied his attention for
seven years, and thus ended the controversy with the Dorchester
Proprietors. The descendants of Glover and heirs at law were
obliged to accept the apportionment of the new Proprietors, being,
according to the statement, less by one thousand acres in the Twenty-
Five Divisions, than had been allotted them in the original laying
out, and to which they believed themselves justly entitled.

In 1727, there was another list made out by the so-called new
Proprietors, allowing only the former proportion which was assigned
them by the grant of 1713; being eight acres to Mr. Glover, four
acres to Nathaniel Glover, Sen., and two to Nathaniel Glover, Jr.,
in every single division of land in the Twenty-Five Divisions,
and amounting to less by several hundred acres than their shares
claimed.

The plan printed on the next page represents the apportionment
to the Glovers and others, according to the survey of 1713, and the
decision of the new Proprietors. It relates only to the twenty-first
and twenty-second lots in the Twenty-five Divisions, and shows the
names of the persons owning in common, and with whom the Glovers
were to divide. After the death of Nathaniel Glover, Jr., it appears
no further efibrt was made to obtain the original claim of thirty-six
acres, two quarters and twenty-five rods, out of every single Division
in the Twenty-five Divisions, and there were set off to Mr. Glover
two hundred acres, with one hundred and twelve to Nathaniel Glo-
ver, and fifty to Nathaniel Glover, Jr., and the land was accepted and
entered upon. Tlie portion of Mr. Glover remains to this (Jay in the
possession of a descendant ; that of Nathaniel Glover was sold and
became afterwards the Paul estate, but of whom purchased is not
known ; and it is said the portion belonging to Nathaniel Glover, Jr.,
was taken up and settled upon by usurpers, and never sold by his
heirs, by any legal conveyance.

Contest began, he was greatly and universally respected and valued

was a Gentleman of a sober life, strong natural powers, great pene-

command of temper, that no abuse of his enemies could either dis-
turb him in his public argument, or move him to reflect upon them.
He has left a virtuous and most sorrowful widow and six young child-
ren. May God be a Father of the Fatherless, and a Judge of the
Widow in His Holy Habitation. (Psalm 68 : 5.)"

Rachael Glover, his widow, survived him about twenty-six years,
and died April 10, 1752. She made her will, which bears date
March 19, 1749. She is buried in the ancient burial place in Dor-
chester, and has a gravestone.

Rachael Glover, widow, is taxed in the List of Province Taxes,
for estate real, personal, and one female slave, from 1726 to 1752.

by Rev. Josiali Flint. The date of her death has not been ascer-
tained.

In December, 1696, her name "was enrolled amonj^ those who were
examined and owned the covenant, and in 1701-2 she was admitted
to join the Church in full communion.

In 1723 the name of Mary Glover appears as a witness to a deed
from Nathaniel Glover, senior, to Thomas and Hannah Glover.

July 17, 1724, she appeared before the magistrate and acknow-
ledged the above deed, her father having deceased a short time before.

Mary Glover, at her father's decease in 1723-4, came in posses-
sion of one-third of the twenty-six acres of land which she, with her
sisters Hannah and Elizabeth, received by a deed of gift from her
father, bearing date Nov. 20, 1723.

In 1724 her name appears among a list of those who were share-
holders in the Common and Undivided Lands. In 1725, May 31, her
name appears on a deed confirming the sale of ten acres of wood-
land, in Milton, to Oxcnbridge Thacher. (See page 222.)

In 1725, at the decease of her sister Elizabeth, she came in pos-
session of one half of her share; and in 1729 the following indenture
was executed between Mary Glover and her sister Hannah Glover.

Indenture between Hannah Glover and her sister Mary Glover.

This Indenture, made the Fifth of March, 1729, and in the Second

tain, &c., between Mary Glover of Dorchester, in the County of Suf-
folk and in the Province of Massachusetts Bay in New England,
Spinster, on the one part, and Hannah Glover of the same Dorchester,
&c., on the other part.

Whereas There are Certain Pieces or Parcels of Land and Meadow

ence to said Deed of Gift may more fully and at large appear. |

Now the said Mary and Hannah Glover have mutually agreed and I
consented, and also acknowledged, made and finished a Division of |
said Land, to the end, intent and purpose that each other of them the |
said Mary and Hannah Glover, their heirs and assigns, may know,
have, hold, use, possess and enjoy each their proper part and propor-
tion thereof Forever, in manner and form following.

self and her Heirs, Executors, Administrators and Assigns, do fully,

and bounded, together with all the appurtenances thereof, against the
lawful claims of all persons claiming any Right, title or interest thereto

tion of the land to Hannah Glover, and signed by Mary Glover, in
presence of David Rawson and Thomas Glover.

In 1733 Mary Glover went to reside with her sister in Boston,
who was married and had removed there.

In 1737 she made a transfer of all her estate of inheritance, both
real and personal, as expressed in the following deed of gift to her
sister Hannah Laws.

The above date of Feb. 22, 1743, is the last found of Mary Glo-

many conjectures concerning her. She had at this date attained the

Hannah Laws. From what has been gathered she seems fully to hare
disposed of all her property, both real and personal. It is not known
that she ever married. There is a marriage entered on the Boston
Records, March 1, 1743, of a Mary Glover, of Boston, with Zebulon
Hastings, of Watertown, which is only a few days after the date of
her acknowledgment of the above conveyanced land ; but circum-
stances render it extremely doubtful as to its relating to the Mary
Glover whose brief history has been here given. The most reason-
able conjecture is, that she died unmarried, and in Boston ; but the
time when, or the place where, is shrouded in obscurity. Some per-
sons have supposed that she went to England, and died there ; and
there is some plausibility in the suggestion, but no proof, not even by
tradition. She had relations there, as cousins and others, who might
have entertained her ; but, with no further evidence, we must leave
her in Boston.

(8) HANNAH GLOVER, the second daughter of Nathaniel
and Hannah (Hinckley) Glover, was born at the homestead in Dor-
chester, July 26, 1681, and baptized 10 (5) 1681, at the Dorchester
church. In 1701-2 she was examined and owned the covenant
before the church. March 2, 1706-7, at the age of twenty-five years,
she was admitted to the church in full communion. In 1723 she re-
ceived from her father, by deed of gift, conjointly with her brother
Thomas Glover, a portion or right which might come to him in the
distribution of the estate of his uncle John Glover. (See page 187).

Nov. 20, 1723, she received a portion of Newbury farm by another
deed of gift from her father.

Her name appears on the agreement of the heirs, in 1724, at the
final settlement of the estate of John Glover, Esq., of Boston, who
was her great grandfather. (See page 77).

In 1725, after the decease of her father, she joins in the sale of a
tract of woodland in Milton to Oxenbridge Thacher, as Hannah
Glover junior.

In 1729 she makes a division of land with her sister Mary Glover.

Hannah Glover w^as married to Thomas Laws, Esq., of Marble-
head, March 10, 1733, at the age of 51 years, and removed to Bos-
ton. Thomas Laws died in Boston in 1736. She lived a widow
thirteen years, and died in Boston, July 1, 1749, in her 68th year,
and was buried in the ancient burial yard at Dorchester.

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 233

About one year previous to her death, she made transfers of her
property: the first, June 2, 1748, to her brother John Glover, of
Dorchester; and June 20, 1748, to her brother Thomas Glover, of
Newbury farm, Dorchester:

Hannah Laws to her brother John Glover.

(9) ELIZABETH GLOVER, the third and youngest daughter
of Nathaniel and Hannah (Hiucklej) Glover, was born at the home-
stead in Dorchester, July 26, 1683, baptized 29 (5) 1683, by Rev.
John Hanforth at the Dorchester church, and died in Dorchester
April 11, 1725, in her 42d year, unmarried. In 1701-2 she was ex-
amined before the church and owned the covenant, and was admitted
to full communion April 2, 1706.

We have a date of her in 1724, at the final settlement of the estate
of John Glover, Esq., who was her great grandfather. Another
Nov. 7, 1723, as a witness to a deed from her father to Hannah
Glover and Thomas Glover, and also in acknowledgment of his act
in 1724.

Nov. 20, 1723, she received a portion of the Newbury farm estate,
by a deed of gift from her father ; and the last time her name ap-
pears on any writing, is in the transaction of Glovers to Oxenbridge
Thachcr, of Milton, after the decease of her father, as a signer to
that document, March 31, 1725. There appears to have been no
settlement to her estate. Her sisters Mary and Hannah shared her
property between them.

(10) JOHN GLOVER, the fourtli son of Nathaniel and Hannah
(Hinckley) Glover, was born at tlic homestead in Dorchester, Sept.

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 235

18, 1687, was baptized at the Dorchester church, 2 (8) 1687, by
Rev. John Danforth, and died in Braintree (now Quincy), July 6,
1768, in his 81st year. He was twice married. First, to Susannah
Ellison, of Boston, January 1, 1714, by the Rev. Peter Thacher, of
Milton. She was born in Boston in 1690, and died at Dorchester in
January, 1724, in her 35th year. The names of her parents have
not been ascertained. At the time of her marriage she resided in
the family of the Rev. Peter Thacher, of Milton, and was a cousin
of his wife. She was also a near relative of the Oxenbridge family
of Boston. Second, he was was married Dec. 22, 1724, by Samuel
Checkley, Esq., of Boston, to Mary Horton, of Milton, who survived
him and died in Braintree Dec. 19, 1775, aged 71 years.

His first wife was a member of the church at ]\Iilton before her

marriage. Their four eldest children were baptized there by the

Rev. Peter Thacher, their father owing the covenant. In 1729, John

. Glover and Mary his wife were admitted to join that church in full

communion, and had four more children baptized there.

John Glover was a landholder by inheritance ; and by purchase,
he made extensive additions to his landed estate.

We have the following dates of him on record : the fii-st in 1 724,
as one of the heirs of John Glover, Esq., of Boston, to the Common
and Undivided Lands (page 77); and in March, 1725, in the sale
of a wood lot in Milton by the heirs of Nathaniel Glover, senior.
John Glover's bond to John George and John Trail bears date March
1, 1738; witnessed by Thomas Glover and Thomas Maccarty. Oct.
5, 1739, he purchased of John George a tract of land situated in
Braijitree ; witnessed by Thomas Glover and Rachel Hinckley. In
1741 John Glover and Mary his wife sold a tract of land to Robert
Auchmuty, Esq., and others. The deed represents the land to have
been in Braintree, County of Suffolk, containing thirty-four acres, and
the consideration one hundred pounds. The names of the purchasers
were Robert Auchmuty, Esq., of Boston ; Samuel Adams and William
Stoddard, Esqs., of Boston ; Peter Chardon, of Boston, merchant ;
Samuel Watts, of Chelsea, County of Suffolk ; George Leonard, of
Norton, County of Bristol; Robert Hall, of Beverly, County of Es-
sex ; John Choate, of Ipswich, County of Essex ; and Thomas Chce-
ver, of Lynn, County of Essex. The land is described as adjoining
land of Moses Belcher, John Glover, and William Rawson.

beth his wife, appealed from the judgment of the Inferior Court, be-
gun and holden at Boston in 1752 and '53, to the Superior Court, in
the case of a lot of land belonging to Mary Clough, daughter of
James Clough, and niece of said Elizabeth Glover. The said lot of
land, according to an original writ in a plea of ejectment against
Arthur Savage and Rachel his wife, comprised

" A Messuage in Boston aforesaid, situate Northerly upon Walker

Southerly on Laud of John Allen, twenty five feet ; North Westerly
on land of William Butler, ninety seven feet. And whereas Mary
Clough, the daughter of the said James Clough, died childless, seized
in her desmosnc as of fee thereof, whereupon tlie premises descended to

said Elizabeth as sister of the said James Clough, and to the said John
as the son of John Clough Deceased, the brother of the said James

Glough, Dec'' ; and whereas the said nephew John Clough and co-heir
has since died, and his said right to the said premises descended to the
said Elizabeth. And the said John Blake and William Blake unjustly
entered upon the premises and disseized them thereof, and the said
John Blake and William Blake unjustly hold the said Thomas and
Elizabeth Glover out of them, to the damage, as they say, of one
hundred pounds, Therefore the said Thomas and Elizabeth Glover, who
was Elizabeth Glough, bring this suit,

Thomas Glover,
Elizabeth Glover.
Witness, Stephen Sewall, Esq., of Boston, this
IV* day of April, 1755.

as follows :

In the case depending between Thomas Glover and Elizabeth his
wife as demandants against Arthur Savage and Rachel his wife. The
Jurors upon tlieir Oaths sa}', that the said Mary Clough, about the
lO"' day of May, 1751, died seized in fee of the Messuage aforesaid
and its appurtenances, without issue and intestate ; and that the said
Elizabeth was the sister of the said James Clough* then deceased,
and the said John the son of the said John Clough Dec*', brother of
the said James ; and after the said Mary, as the said demandants have
alleged ; and they further upon their oaths say, that the said Mary
was the daughter of the said Rachel, who at the time of the death of
the said Mary and befoi'e, was, and still is, the wife of the said James
Clough, and that the said Arthur and Rachel in her right upon the
death of the said Mary, her daughter, entered upon and into the said
Messuage with its Appurtenances, drawing the same in Right of the
said Rachel as Mother of the said Mary, and next of kin by force of

August G, 1763, Elizabeth Glover, of Dorchester, widow of Thomas
Glover, Esq., deceased, sold a house and land in Boston bordering on

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 245

Orange street, to Joseph Jackson, of Boston. She lived a widow
forty years, and was deprived of her sight for the last thirty years of
her life.

Elizabeth Clough, the wife of Mr. Tliomas Glover, was born in
Boston, May 20, 1706; baptized at the Third Church (Old South),
May 23, 1706; married at the age of sixteen years, and died at
Newbury farm, in Dorchester, Jan. 10, 1798, aged 92 years, and was
buried in the ancient cemetery at Quincy. She has a gravestone.

She was the daughter of Deacon John and Mary (Beard) Clough,
who was an extensive landed proprietor in Boston and vicinity, and
also in the Colony of Connecticut. He is said to have been of
Welch origin, and a lineal descendant of Richard Clough, of Den-
bigh, in the County of Flintshire in Wales, who is noticed among
Fuller's Worthies as a distinguished benefactor.* His first American
ancestor was John Clough, who came early to New England and set-
tled in Watertown, where he became a Freeman in 1642. He owned
a house and land there, the latter bounded South by Pond Road and
East by William Paine; West by Highway and William Perry;
North by Joseph Morse. He removed to Salisbury, in Essex County,
and died there in 1691; left children: John, Samuel and Thomas,
Sarah Morrell, Elizabeth Home and Martha George, and wife Mar-
tha (second wife probably).

John Clough, the eldest son, removed to Charlestown ; was admit,
ted to the Church there, with wife Elizabeth, in 1652, and in 1057
was received or transferred to the First Church in Boston. He died
in 1668, in Boston.

* ("Flintshire in Wales.") " Benefactors to the Public. — Richard Clough was born at
Denbigh in this County, whence he went to be a chorister in the City of Chester. Some
were so affected with his singing therein that they were loath he should lose himself in their
employ (Church music beginning then to be discountenanced), and persuaded, j'ca, procured
his removal to London, where he liecame apprenticed to and afterwards partner with Sir
Thomas Gresham. He lived some years at Antwerp, and afterwards travelled as far as Je-
rusalem, where he was made Knight of the Sepulchre, though not owning it after his retura,
under Queen Elizabeth, who disdained that her sulyects should accept foreign honors. He
afterwards, liy God's l)lessing, grew very rich ; and there wants not those who -will avouch
that some thousands of Pounds were disbursed liy him for the building of the Royal Ex-
change ; such numbers that it was agreed betwixt him and Sir Thomas Gresham that the
survivor should be chief heir to both ; on which account they say the Knight carried aAvay
the bulk of the estate. How much the new Church at Denbigh was beholden to his Ijounty,
I am not yet certainly informed. But this is true, that he gave the impropriation of Kilkcn
in Flintshire, worth a hundred pounds per annum, to the free schools in Denbigh. He died
in 1600."

Church in the Meeting House, it was voted that the Deacons give the
Thanks of the Church to Mr. John Clough for a Silver Cup given by
him to the Church." In 1 744 he owned a pew in the Hollis Street

In 1740, April 18, John Clough and Zachariah Johonnet agreed
to lay out a street, each yielding seventeen feet, to run the whole
length of their land, extending six hundred and seventy-four feet, to
Benjamin Elliot's land.

John Clough carried on the business of felt-making and leather-

Washington street, where the large book store stands. He was
twice married. His first wife, Mary, died in 1736. Oct. 14, 1737,
he was married to Abigail Stacy, who survived him. Ho died in
Boston, Sept. 17, 1744, aged 75 years, and was buried in the Stone
Chapel yard. He died intestate.

A few months previous to his decease, he made disposals of his
estates which had not already been disposed of by deeds of gift.
His house and land, and other estate on Middle street, April 2, 1744,
he gave to his son James Clough, of Boston, who was married to
Rachel Ruggles, and died in 1743, leaving a large estate. To his
grandson John Clough, Jan., of Middletown, Conn., he gave his
Negro man Manuel, which he bought of Samuel Phillips with one
other Negro. Also a silver tankard marked I. C. M., two silver
spoons, and other silver plate.

About one month before his decease he gave to his daughter Eliza-
beth Glover the following articles, by Deed of Gift :

In ijresence of April 2, 1744.

John Gofie.

The maternal grandmother of Elizabeth Clough was Mary An-
drews, the third daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Andrews, of
Hingham, who was a son of Thomas Andrews, of Devonshire, Eng-
land, born there about 1596, and died in Hingham Aug. 11, 1662.
He had been much interested in the settlement of the Plymouth
Colony, and was one of those merchants and gentlemen whom, it is
said, sold their effects and accompanied their minister to Holland
with the intention of emigrating to New England, and who were pre-
vented from embarking by an order from the Council of England,
and compelled to return.

In 1642, Thomas Andrews was elected High Sheriff of London,
and one of the four Treasurers who were appointed by Parliament
to grant receipts to contributors of money and plate.

In 1649 he was made Lord Mayor of the City of London, in the
place of Abraham Reynardson, who had refused to proclaim the act
of abolishing the Kingly Government. He immediately, on being
inducted into office, proclaimed the act in person, as is shown by the
following record : " In 1 649 Sir Thomas Andrews, Lord Mayor of
London, assisted by Alderman Bateman and others, publicly pro-
claimed the abolition of the Kingly Government under King Charles
I. of England," &c. The same year he was made one of the Judges at
the King's trial,* but refusing to sign the death warrant, he was after-
wards attainted.

In 1651 he is said to have been a merchant in London, and lived
in Rowe Lane ; also to have been Lord Mayor of the city. After
his arrest, he made his escape to New England, and settled in Hing-
ham, where he soon died.

His son Joseph was at that time an inhabitant of Hingham, having
preceded his father and established himself there in 1635. He re-
ceived his freedom March 3, 1635-36, and was the same year chosen
Constable. Joseph Andrews was the first Town Clerk of Hingham,

and was chosen to represent the town at the General Court at Boston
for the years 1636, 1637 and 1638. He was married to Elizabeth

before he came to New England. She died in Hingham in

1688. The will of Joseph Andrews was dated Sept. 27, 1679.
He died Jan. 1, 1679-80, in his 83d year. The following children
are named in his will : Hannah, wife of Rehoboth Gannett ; Mary,
wife of Thomas Beard, of Boston ; Joseph, Jun, ; Ephraim, who was
a physician and went to New Jersey ; Thomas, and wife Ruth ; Hep-

zibah, wife of Jeffrey Manning ; Elizabeth, wife of Eames.

The above extracts confirm the lineage of Elizabeth Clough (who
afterwards married Thomas Glover, of Dorchester) by a direct line
of descent from Thomas Andrews of Devonshire and London, by his
eldest son Joseph Andrews, whose second daughter Mary Andrews
married with Thomas Beard, of Boston, and were the grandparents
of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Glover, of Dorchester. Her mother,
Mary Beard, inherited a competent estate from her father Thomas
Beard. She was also a legatee to the will of her brother James
Beard, who died in 1707, leaving one-third of all his estate to his
sister Elizabeth Beard, one-third to his sister Mary, the wife of John
Clough, and the other third to two of his kinswomen, Mary Wy-
bourne and Elizabeth Wybourne; and appoints his eldest sister
Elizabeth Beard, and his brother-in-law Deacon John Clough, his
Executors. Will approved and executed in 1707. Witnessed in
1702, by Thomas Salter, Mary Salter and Joseph Deane, who testi-
fied before the Probate Court that they saw James Beard sign and
heard hiin declare it to be his last will and testament.

(12) ROBERT GLOYER, eldest son of John and Mary ( )

Glover, was born in Boston in 1673, and removed with his parents
to Barnstable. It is said that in early life he went to sea with some
of his relatives. He studied navigation, and acquired the art with
so much readiness that lie soon became a skilful mariner, and master
of a ship. In 1694, at the age of twenty-one years, he was in com-
mand of the sloop Dragon, a privateer.* In July, 1695, Capt. Robert

* Ricliavd Hart, one of his seamen, died in January, 1694-5. Feb. 14, of that year, Letters
of Administration were granted on his estate, by "Wilham Stougliton, Esq., Commissioner,
to Patrick Keen, his kinsman, as follows :

Glover, of tlio sloop Dragon, sailed along the Atlantic coast as far
as the St. Lawrence, and at the mouth captured a French ship called
the St. Joseph, containing a valuable cargo, prized at about fifteen
hundred pounds sterling. He brought the prize to Boston.

In the Massachusetts Archives, Vol. 62, folio 45-48, there are
notices of Capt. Robert Glover, commander of a privateer — drag-
ged in 1696.

Robert Glover is also recorded as a citizen of Boston in 1695.
He paid taxes there in 1695 and 1696. After leaving the Dragon
it is supposed he sailed to England in the subsequent years,
and was lost at sea in one of his return voyages, and may have been
the one who by tradition was cast away on Lovell's Rock, which
afterwards and to this day has been called Glover's Rock.

Dorchester Church May 12, 1689, by Rev. John Danforth. The date
of his death has not been ascertained. He lived in Dorchester until
he attained the age of manhood, but it does not appear that he ever
owned any real estate there. His name is no where enrolled on the
tax lists. He was a cordwainer, and worked at his trade when not I
engaged in military life. His name is enrolled among those who I
served at Castle William, from 1710 to 1744; also among a list in ,

sided there at some time, as his first wife Hannah, with her youngest
child, are buried in the ancient cemetery at Quiucy, and also two

is supposed that he removed from Braintree to some other place
before he died.

NATHANIEL GLOVER.

[Fifth Generation.']

(35) NATHANIEL GLOVER, the eldest son of Nathaniel; Jr.,
and Rachacl (Marsh) Glover, and the fourth in succession who bore
the name, was born at the Dorchester homestead, May 16, 1704, bap-
tized at the Dorchester Church, 10 (3) 1704, by Rev. John Danforth,
and died in Boston in December, 1773, in his 69th year.

Li 1719, at the age of fifteen years, he was prepared and entered
Harvard College at Cambridge, and at the age of nineteen gradu-
ated there in the class of 1723. He never studied any profession.
Soon after leaving college he became a clerk in the store of Mr.
Thomas Hancock, and applied . himself to mercantile pursuits. At
the age of twenty-one years he was accepted as a co-partner in the
business of Mr. Hancock, and became a merchant of considerable
celebrity. He continued in that occupation nearly fifty years. Mr.
Thomas Hancock died in 1769, and was succeeded by his nephew
Mr. John Hancock, and the business of the firm was continued with-
out interruption until Mr. Glover resigned it and withdrew to a more
quiet life.

In 1726 Mr. Nathaniel Glover became a shareholder in the Com-
mon and Undivided Lands in Dorchester, as an estate of inheritance^
in right of his father Mr. Nathaniel Glover, Jr., who died in London
while prosecuting the original claims of the proprietors. (See page
224.) He also purcliased other rights in those lands of other pro-
prietors.

In 1 743 he purchased a tract of five hundred acres of land of John
Glover and Thomas Glover, of Dorchester. (See page 237.)

In 1 744 he was made a residuary legatee by the will of Mrs. Mary
Cursette, and, in connection with Mr. Thomas Hancock, his partner
in business, was appointed co-executor of her will. In 1747 he pre-
sented the above will for probate, and came in possession of a good
estate, of which he died seized, as may be seen by his will made in
1773. The following is the will of Mrs. Cursette :

In the name of God, Amen, I Mary Cursette, now resident in Bos-
ton, in the County of Sullblk, and in the Province of Massachusetts
Bay in New England, Widow ; Being at this present writing hereof
of a sound, disposing mind and memory, do therefore make and or-

proved as follows :

* Mrs. Mary Cursette is stated to have been from England, and is introduced tlius: " In
lliO, Mrs. Mary Cursette, an English lady, travelling to Boston, was obliged to stop some
days at Ileljron, in the Colonj' of Connecticut, where seeing the Church (Episcopal) not
finished, and the people suttering great persecutions, she told them to persevere in their good
work and she would send them a present wlien she got to Boston. Soon after her arrival
in Boston, Mrs, Cursette fell sick and died. In her Will she gave a legacy of three hundred
pounds old tenor, then equal to one hundred pounds sterling, for their benefit," The
above account is all that has I)een gathered of this lady. She was in some way connected
with the family of Josiah Franklin, but it is not known that she was connected with Glover,
or the Glover family; but certain it is that she distinguished Nathaniel Glover with her fa-
vors, and ])laced in liim her unbounded confidence and tinist. It would be gratifying to learn
more of her history, and the circumstances which influenced her in the above transactions.

of him that he possessed in a remarkable degree those admirable
and desirable traits of character and habits of life which distinguished
his father, although not called to so public and active a life. He was
a member of the Dorchester Church, and adorned his profession by
a quiet, sober, and useful life. He occasionally served in town offices.
May 13, 1746, his name is enrolled among a list of elderly persons
qualified to serve as Grand Jurors for the County of Suffolk. In

264 MEirORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

In June, 1740, he was married to Mary Cochrane, daughter of
Samuel Cochrane, of Boston, born there about 1718. It is supposed
she died in Dorchester, but no record of her death has been found,
and if buried there she has no gravestone.

He resided in Boston for several years after his marriage, and
kept a school there. He inherited a portion of the Dorchester home-
stead conjointly with his brothers Nathaniel and Alexander.

In 1753, and previous, his name is enrolled among a list of sol-
diers in the " First Independent Company in the Town of Dorches-
ter, whereof Estes Hatch, Esq., is Captain, James Foster Lieutenant^
Edward Hillon Second Lieutenant, Nathaniel Langley Ensign, Thomas
Pimer, Humphrey Atherton and Zebulou Pierce Sergeants, William
Marion Drummer, Samuel Blake Clerk."

In 1756, Pelatiah Glover was appointed by the town of Dorches-
ter to " keep school for Squautum and the Farms." He probably re-
mained in that employment but a short time. At some time during
the French and Indian war he went as sutler to the army, and it is
said of him that he furnished provisions for the soldiers from his own
store. After his return from the army he kept a provision store in
Boston, and also opened a public house, and was at one time known
as " Pelatiah Glover, Innkeeper of Boston." After his decease, in
1770, his widow continued the business. A widow Glover died in
Boston, February, 1772, no age mentioned, who may have been the
widow of Pelatiah, the date of whose death has not been found in
Dorchester.

In 1749 Col. William Burbeck, and Mrs. Jerusha Burbeck his
wife, were admitted to Christ Church (Episcopalian) in Boston.

The following incidents in the life and character of Col. William
Burbeck have been gathered from a letter, furnished by his son Gen.
Henry Burbeck, and other family letters, and also from personal
interviews with his descendants.

Col. William Burbeck was by trade a carver, and worked success-
fully in that employment for several years. There are many speci-
mens of his genius in that art still to be seen in Boston. The carv-
ing of the Corinthian pillars in King's Chapel, and other elaborate
work, were done under his direction. While employing himself at
his trade, he occupied his leisure moments in reading and close study,
particularly in the science of mathematics. The arts of Gunnery
and Artillery next engrossed his attention, and having furnished him-
self with a competent library, he advanced rapidly in those studies,
and soon became master of every branch of them. He also devoted
a portion of his time to the art of Pyrotechnics, and soon became com-
petent to prepare fireworks, equal if not superior to any which were
ever made in his time. He prepared those which were used for the
celebration of the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1765, and which were
considered to be equal to any ever produced. He passed many
years at Castle William. lu 1769 he was appointed to fill a vacancy
there as second officer, or gunner, in which art he had acquired great

268 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

skill and efficiency. Old Castle William was at that time garrisoned
and supported by tlie Colony, as its chief fortress of defence.
Very soon after, in the autumn of 1770, Castle William was taken
possession of by Great Britain. He still remained there, and was
appointed Ordinance Storekeeper.

He was uneasy under British control, and sought means to escape
from their jurisdiction and honors of office as soon as possible. It
required a little strategic mana^uvriug to enable him to escape ; but
having friends to aid him, he was able to accomplish his passage
to Boston without being discovered or even suspected. He selected
a time when all the mechanics were at dinner, and passing do-^vn to
the boat which was awaiting him, rowed himself over to Noddle's
Island, now East Boston, passed thence to Chelsea, thence to Cam-
bridge, and landed without interruption. He hired a carpenter's
shop in Cambridge on the northeast side of the Common, and em-
ployed himself in preparing ammunition.

In 1774 he received an appointment, through his friend Dr. Joseph
Warren, to superintend the laboratory and artillery belonging to the
Colony, and to see that everything was prepared for service. He
had proved himself fully competent for that office. When the conflict
with Great Britain commenced, he joined the standard of the Ameri-
can colonies, and distinguished himself for his patriotism and ardent
attachment to the cause. He had made a previous agreement, that
in case the United Colonies obtained their independence, his pay
should continue the same for life. The contract was fulfilled, and he
received his pay during his life.

At the close of the year 1775 he was appointed to succeed Col.
Gridley in the command of the Massachusetts artillery. But although
skilled in military tactics, he was not fond of a military life. He
declined the acceptance, and strongly recommended Gen. Knox, who
was appointed. He filled the office of Lieutenant Colonel in the army
while it remained at Cambridge; but when, in 1776, the army maixh-
cd away to engage in active service, he remained under the contract
which he had previously entered into with the colon}'. As an officer
it is said he was highly valued by Gen. Washington, who, it has been
stated, received his resignation with much disappointment and regret.
After the peace of 1783, " Old Castle William" was again in posses-
sion of the State, and Col. Burbeck was reappointed to the comuiand,
and continued in that office until his decease.

In 1744, Thomas Glover, Jr., also received by deed of his grand-
father, Dca. John Clough, of Boston, a negro boy named George,
which he owned conjointly with his brother Elijah for several years ;
and they subsequently, in about 1770, disposed of him to their bro-
ther William Glover, who lived in Dorchester, and the boy died and
was buried on Mr. Glover's estate. (See page 248.)

In 1748, soon after obtaining his discharge from Castle William,
Thomas Glover, Jr., went to Stoughton, and made arrangements to
settle there on a tract of land belonging to his father, Thomas Glover,
Esq., who guaranteed to two of his sons the inheritance of the two
hundred acres of land which had been assigned to " Mr, John Glo-
ver " in the Twenty-five Divisions of Land in Dorchester New Grant,
as specified in a deed of quitclaim from Glovers to Thomas Glover,
bearing date 1 743. This land was situated in the South Precinct of
Stoughton, and at the most southerly portion of it, adjoining the
estates of Dr. Ralph and Lazarus Pope. He commenced building a
house, which was finished about 1750. The public road was hardly
passable farther than the North Precinct (now Canton), and those
Avho intended to settle in that wilderness had to find their way by
marked trees to the South Precinct (now Stoughton), where were a
few families living who had commenced a settlement near the Colony
line, reaching there by the old Plymouth and Taunton roads.
He made his journeys on foot or on horseback, and resided alter-
nately at Dorchester (Newbury farm), and at Stoughton, while his
house was building.

Thomas Glover and Rcbeckah his wife became members of the First
Church in Stoughton, South Precinct, in 1752, and their children
were all baptized there within a few days of their birth. His will
bears date July 26, 1796; probated the first Tuesday in May, 1811.
He gave portions of land to his sons ; and to his daughters, who
were all married and had received their marriage portions, he gave
a balance of money as their full share in his estate, and settled the
homestead on his youngest son, Elijah Glover (see p. 80). The house
built in 1750 is still standing; the land is in possession of his heirs.

In the life and character of Thomas Glover the Christian graces
were developed and shone with admirable lustre. Of strict integ-
rity, of mild and amiable temperament, of sound and discretionary
judgment, he was a kind husband, a tender parent, a friendly and
obliging neighbor, a patriotic and law-abiding man, of whom it was
once remarked by a prominent citizen and officer of the town of
Stoughton, that " if all people were like Mr. Thomas Glover, there
would be no need to make laws." Of the Church to which he be-
longed he was an exemplary and worthy member, and observed the
ordinances with great veneration and strict adherence, both in public
and in the family, continuing the worship of God at the family altar
until nearly the close of his life, a period of almost sixty years. He
was an honorable and worthy citizen and member of society, and is
remembered as such by all survivors who ever knew him. In his de-
portment he was gentlemanly, and was possessed of a degree of man-
Jy grace and beauty.

(54) ELIJAH GLOVER, the second son of Thomas and Eliza-
beth (Clough) Glover, was born at Newbury farm, in Dorchester,
July 20, 1725, baptized at the CImrch in Dorchester, Rev. John Dan-
forth, pastor, July 25, 1725, and died in Milton at his residence on
Milton Hill, July 1, 1770, aged 45 years. He was buried in ]\[ilton
in the ancient burial yard, and has a gravestone. His death was
caused by an internal injury received by wrestling at a match or
ring, formed for that exercise, on Election day the May previous-
It is said tliat he had carried the ring by his agility and superior

strength, and while enjoying his victory received a challenge from a
new champion who had come on the ground. He accepted, and tri-
umphed, but the contest caused the rupture of a blood-vessel, which
resulted in death in a few months. He made his will, appointing
wife Elizabeth executor; Elijah Glover, of Pembroke, was one of the
witnesses. In 1 744 his name is enrolled upon the alarm list, and also
at Castle William on the list of soldiers who had served there in
1747 and previous, under the command of Col. Estes Hatch.

Elijah was an extensive landholder in Dorchester and Milton. He
inherited a competent estate from his father, and was an owner, con-
jointly with his elder brother Thomas Glover, in lands received from
their grandfather, Dea. John Clough, at Ashford and Windsor, in the
Colony of Connecticut. He also came in possession of valuable
lands in right of his wife Abigail. His homestead estate was situ-
ated in Milton, on the Milton Hill road leading to Quincy meeting-
house, nearly opposite the estates of Gov. Belcher and Gov. Hutch-
inson, who lived at one time on Milton Hill, and whose estates have
passed to Joseph Eowe, Esq., and the Hon. Jonathan Russell. The
house built by Elijah Glover has been taken down and a new one
built on the same spot, and the location of his estate may be identi.
fied at the present time by two large elm trees which once adorned
the premises and still remain to mark the spot.

He was twice married. First, on Dec. 21, 1751, to Abigail
Kingsley, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Gulliver) Kingsley, of
Milton, born there Oct. 16, 1727, and died Feb. 8, 1761, in her 35th
year. Her earliest American ancestor was John Kingsley, who came
from England and settled in Milton, and was married there June 25,
1669, to Susannah Daniell. By his first marriage Elijah Glover
had one son. He was married, second, Jan. 1, 1762, to Elizabeth
Tucker, of Milton. They had one daughter.

(57) WILLIAM GLOVER, the third son of Thomas and Eliza-
beth (Clough) Glover, was born at the Newbury farm homestead, in
Dorchester, Aug. 1, 1731, and was baptized at the First Church in
Quincy, Aug. 8, 1731. He died in Dorchester, March 7, 1797, in his
67th year, and was buried in Quincy, in the ancient burial yard; he
has a gravestone. He inherited a portion of Newbury farm, was co-
executor to his father's will, and joint heir to his homestead estate.
He also came in possession of extensive and valuable lauds in right
of his wife, and built a house and settled on her estate. It is still
owned and occupied by his descendants. Dr. William B. Duggan is
the present possessor, in right of his wife, who is a grandchild.

Oct. 15, 1772, William Glover was married to Mary Capen, daugh-
ter of John Capen, of Dorchester, born there in 1738, and died Nov.
11, 1813, aged 75 years; buried in Quincy, and has a gravestone.
At the age of 16 years, in 1747, his name is enrolled among those
who served at Castle William under the command of Col. Estes
Hatch.

June 9, 1733-4, and died in Vinalhavcn, at Fox Islands, Lincoln
County, Maine, April 22, 1806, in the 72d year of his age. He re-

■ sided in Dorchester until he arrived at the age of manhood. His
name is enrolled among a list of officers and soldiers in Col. Estes
Hatch's first Independent Company in the to-\^'n of Dorchester, dated
Oct. 11, 1753, when he was at the age of twenty years. He also
served at Castle William, and was discharged in 1748. In that year
he went to Stoughton, and made preparations to settle on a tract of
25*

land there, belonging to his father, in the Twenty-five Divisions in
Dorchester New Grant. In 1758 the portion of his inheritance was
confirmed to him by his father's will. "While in Stoiighton, he re-
sided at Dr. Ralph Pope's, and after the marriage of his brother
Thomas Glover became an inmate of his house, making alternate
excursions and visits to the Newbury farm homestead in Dorchester.

Four years after the decease of his father, in 1761, he sold his
estate in Stougliton to Thomas Shepard, of the North Precinct (now
Canton). He had broken up and cleared the land, and made other
improvements. Date of deed, March 24, 1761. Consideration, two
hundred and ten pounds. Description and location are as follows :

This estate has passed down in the Shepard family, and is now
(1866) in possession of Samuel Shepard Stetson, a great-grandson
of Thomas Shepard.

June 2, 1762, James Glover purchased a tract of land in Framing-
ham, of Mr. John Haven, administrator on the estate of Nathaniel
Stacey. He owned a house and land there in that part of the town
known by the name of " Salem End." Also he owned land in East
Sudbury.

Fox Islands, in Maine. He took a farm in Vinalhaven, on a lease or

Crabtree and James Glover, and witnessed by Samuel Train, Jr., and
Enoch Train. He subsequently purchased the estate, and resided
there at his decease.

He was twice married. First, Feb. 3, 1762, to Lois Bent, of Sud-

(65) ROBERT GLOVER, the eldest son of Capt. Robert Glo-
ver. The date of his birtli has not been ascertained, but it is pre-
sumed he was born about 1697 or '98. He resided at one time in
Boston, and was associated with the merchants of that time. He
also resided for some time in the ancient Piscataqua country, near
Portsmouth, N. H. He served in Queen Anne's war, under Sir Wil-
liam Pepperell, was in service at the taking of Cape Breton, and, as
it appears, died or was killed about that time, or in 1 745. He was
married, and the name of his wife was Mary — whom, it seems, was
a relative of the Fayerweathers of Boston, and of the Apthorps. At
the time of Mr. Glover's death, or soon after, she was residing on the
Island of Antigua, in the British West Indies. They had one son,
viz. ;

235. Robert, b. in 1720 ; went to the Island of Antigua. Was a
merchant, and, it is supposed, died there.

The following letters, written from the Island of Antigua by Mrs.
Mary Glover, and her son Mr. Robert Glover, in 1 745-6, to Thomas
Fayerweathcr, Esq., of Boston, comprise nearly all that has been
gathered of them :

Mrs. Mary Glover, residing at Antigua, West Indies, to Mr. Thomas
Fayerweather, merchant, at Boston, N. E.

Antigua, Feb. 5, 1745-6.
Sir, — I received your favor by my sister Frances Fayerweather,
and by her recommendation have taken the liberty to write to you
and enclose a power of attorney, requesting the favor of you to act
for me in all my affairs, which my husband Mr. Robert Glover was
concerned in ; and to take in to your hands a negro, and what other

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 287

things he might have left in Boston or any other place. I likewise
beg- the favor of 3^011 to make enquiry of the officers which went
against Cape Breton, and of the company at home, and if the same
came over before the death of Mr. Glover. I understand that Mr.
Glover left two negroes in hands of Mr. Sherborne, a native of Pis-
cataqua, which he carried from home, besides the above mentioned
negro he carried to wait on him at Cape Breton, which boy I under-
stand was left in the hands of Samuel Baker, which if you get, please
send to this Island. I have also been informed that one Mr. Price,
a Tailor, was indebted to Mr. Glover a considerable sum, for Gold
and Silver buttons, which I hope you inquired about ; for Mr. Glover
carried with him a large quantity. lie also bought a horse in Cape
Breton. Mr. Samuel Fayerweather was present when he paid the
money for him. If you send the negro or Mr. Glover's effects, please
have them insured. Your favor in this will infinitely oblige, Sir,
I am your most humble and obedient Servant,

Mary Glover.

P. S. To Mr. Thomas Fayerweather, — Your Cousin Fanny desires
you to ask Mr. Samuel Fayerweather, who can inform you about the
horse which Mr. Glover paid the money for while at Cape Breton.
Please to dispose of it to the best advantage. Your Cousin Fanny
desires you to remember her love to her Cousin Fayerweather and
family, atid Miss Apthorp and Cousin Allen, and likewise Miss Tyng
and family, and all acquaintances who inquire for her.

Mary Glover.

From Robert Glover, of Antigua> to Mr. Thomas Fayerweather, mer-
chant, of Boston,

Antigua, March 25, 1U7-8.
Sir, — My mother received yours some time ago, acquainting her
that you could not receive my father's effects without Letters of Ad-
ministration, which she never thought of before, and now it is too
late ; But as it is left between my Mother and myself, I dont suppose
but the copy of the Will will be sufficient, as I have given my mother
Power to act in my behalf, and desire that you would forward it as
soon as possible, for lying out of the money so long is a great detri-
ment to us both. I hope you will excuse the trouble we give you in
this affair. But hope it will be in my power in a little time to serve
you more largely in the mercantile way. My Mother presents her
love and service to your father antl family, as doth your sincere
friend and servant, Robert Glover.

P. S. I shall be glad to have a line from you by all opportunity.
If you will direct to Mr. Robert Glover, living with Mr. Michael Lov-
ell, Merchant, in Antigua. Please to send me a copy of my father's
papers by the first opportunity. Tiiere is an account of two Negroes
left with Mr. Sherborne, of Piscataqua. Robert Glover.

there in 1761, in his 61st year. Very little has been gathered of
him. His name is enrolled among a list of those who served in
Queen Anne's war, in 1745-6,- but it appears he was absent from
his home in Pembroke but a short time, and was residing there at
the time of his decease in 1761.

He was married, Jan. 23, 1723, to Sarah Bonney, of Pembroke,
who was the daughter of Elisha Bonney, of that place.

of land in Pembroke, of Tiiomas Little, Esq., of that place. Con-
sideration, eleven pouuds. It was bounded, according to the Ply-
mouth Records of Deeds, " by the way leading from the Street where
John Bishop dwelt, to Jonathan Crooker's ; and Northerly by the
land sold to John Bishop ; South East by land of Robert Glover
which I sold to John Cunningham."

March 2, 1761, letters of administration were granted "on the
estate of Thomas Glover, late of Pembroke, deceased, to Robert
Glover, his eldest son." March 31, 1761, an inventory of the estate

(69) JOHN GLOVER, Jr., eldest son of John Glover (cord-
wainer) and Hannah (Capcn) Glover, was born in Dorchester, Oct. \
17,1715. There is no record of his baptism, his marriage or his I
death. It is presumed that he was brought up with his mother's I

relatives, who lived in Roxbury. He was made a legatee to the will
of his aunt Sarah Capon, whom it is stated was " late of RoxLury,
and who died unmarried."

Feb. 8, 1732, he chose John Capen, of Dorchester, to be his
guardian, as appears by the following document. Mr. Capen accept-
ed the trust.

Knoic all men by these Presents, That I Jolm Glover, a Minor, aged
about IT years, son of John Glover, Soldier, belonging to his Majes-
ties Castle William, in the County of Suffolk and in his Majesties

of Dorchester in the County of Suffolk, Cordwainer, to be my Guar-
dian, with full power and authority for mo and in my name and for

his possession and custody, all and singular such part and portion
of an estate accrueing to Me in Right of my Aunt Sarah Capen, late
of Roxbury, Spinster, Dec*^, or which by any other way or means what-
soever belonging to me, and to manage, employ and improve the same
for- my best advantage and profit during my Minority. And to do all
whatsoever may be necessary in and about the Premises as fully and
effectually, to all intents and purposes, as I myself might or could do

ingly accepted in the same Trust and Power.

In Testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this
28th day of February, 1732, and in the Sixth year of his Majesty's
Reign, Our Sovereign Lord George the 2d, King over Great Britain,

Feb. 28, 1732. The within named John Glover pei'sonally appear-

ship to be his free will, act and Deed, which I allow and approve.

JosiAH WiLLARD, Judge of Probate.

John Capeii's GuardianshijJ Account.

The account of John Capen, late Guardian to the said John Glover a
Minor, was presented to the Probate Court, Dec. 6, 1137, and is as
follows :

He the accountant charges himself with a Legacy left to the said
John Glover by Sarah Capen his Aunt, which he received from her
Executor, amounting to Thirty-six pounds. And the said Accountant
prays allowance as follows, viz. :

Paid for Letters of Guardianship, .... £00 10 00 0

For drawing and allowing and recording this Account, 00 15 00 0

£22 14 00 0

Dec. 6, 1731, John Capen, Guardian, presented the foregoing
Account, and made oath that it contains a just and true account of
his Guardianship to John Glover, which I allow and approve, and
hereby order him to pay the Overplus to Mr. Samuel Lyon, of Rox-
bury, Uncle to the said John Glover,

The next date which can be found of him is also in 1737, when he
was twenty-two years old. It appears he had resided in Roxbury, with
his mother's relatives, and had never become an inhabitant of Dor-
chester. In 1739, two years later, and when he had arrived at the
age of twenty-four years, he was residing in the latter place, and- was
thus requested to give security for his permanent residence, or depart
the town :

Suifolk ss. To Samuel Blake, one of the Constables of the Town
of Dorchester, Greeting, In his Majesty's name you are required
to give warning unto John Glover, Junior, now residing in this Town,
but is no inhabitant of this Town, that he depart out of the Town of
Dorchester within the space of fourteen days, or give security for liis
longer continuance as the law directs. Hereof fail not, and make
return of this warrant and of your doings tlicrein unto myself or to
the Selectmen as soon as convenient you may. Dated at Dorchester,
in the Thirteenth j^ear of his Majesty's Reign, on the 14th day of
February, 1739. By the order of the Selectmen.

James Blake, Town Clerk.

It is presumed he gave the required guarantee, as his name is en-
rolled among those who served at Castle William on the alarm list
of 1744, and also of 1747, and was discharged from there in 1748.
Alexander Glover received the amount due for bis services, and gave
the following receipt :

We the Subscribers do respectfully acknowledge to have received
of Samuel Blake the full amount of Our Wages and Subsistence,
money allowed us for our Service at Castle William in the time of the
Alarm in the Year 174G. (Signed) Alexander Glover, for

John Glover, Jr.

The above is the last date that has been gathered of him. At
this period he was 33 years of age. No record has been found relat-
ing to his subsequent life. There is a traditional rumor or anec-

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 291

dote, which has been passed down among the Glovers at Dorchester,
that " a John Glover was residing at Newbury farm in the time of
the Revolutionary War, and that during the great excitement occa-
sioned by the Lexington alarm in 1775, he took his gun and went
out to find a place of safety in the woods, but soon returned and
provided himself with a ' bag of salt,' intending to subsist on game
until he could get beyond the reach of the enemy ; and that after-
Avards he went to Rhode Island and never returned." He was at
that time, if living, aged 60 years, and there seems to have been
then no other John Glover to whom this story could possibly relate.

(72) WILLIAM GLOVER, the third son of John and Lydia
(Norcott) Glover, was born in Dorchester, Sept. 24, 1724, baptized
at the Church there, Sept. 27, 1724, and died in Brookline, April h
1757, in his 33d year. Letters of administration were granted " on
the estate of William Glover, late of Brookline, deceased, intestate,"
to Jonathan Davis, April 15, 1757. Inventory taken Oct. 14, 1757,
by Samuel Crafts and Jonathan Winchester, Appraisers, as fol-
lows : " Bed and bed-clothes, half Dozen chairs, a chihVs chair.
Square Table, Chest and Joynt Stools, Household Furniture and
Pictures. Whole amount. Seven Pounds Eighteen Shillings (£7 1 8s.)."

William Glover was married in Brookline, as certified by B. P.
Baker, Town Clerk in that place, to Mary Coye, Nov. 24, 1748.
She survived him, and there is reason to suppose that she was mar-
ried again to Isaac Harper, Feb. 12, 1769, and nothing further is
loiown of her.

The records of the First Congregational Church in Brookline, the
Rev. Cotton Brown, pastor, furnish the following baptism.s of two
children of William Glover :

242. Samuel, bap. May 13, 1750.

243. Anne, bap. July 18, 1756.

No other children appear there, and Mr. Baker certifies that none
are to be found recorded on the Town Records of Brookline. The
above children are recorded as of William and Mary Glover. No
marriages or deaths are recorded previous to 1760, and until the
ministry of Rev. Joseph Jackson.

July 22, 1811, the death of a Samuel Glover is recorded thus:
'' Samuel Glover, at Mrs. Partridges, 24 years old, felo-de-se.'' He

was probably a son of the Samuel baptized in 1750, and gi'andson
of William and Mary (Coye) Glover.*

(75) SAMUEL GLOVER, fourth son of John and Lydia (Nor-
cott) Glover, was born in Dorchester, July 28, 1730, baptized Aug.
2, 1730, by Rev. John Danforth, and died at or near Albany, N. Y.,
in 1756. He was married to Ruth Wheat, of Needham, Sept. 28,
1752. He bought a farm in Needham, and went there to live in Sep-
tember, 1755, at the age of 26 years. He enlisted as a volunteer
in the French and Indian war, and served in the army under Capt.
Kingsbury and Col. Brinley. In the return of men's names, made
July 26, 1756, page 496, Army Records, we find "Samuel Glover
sick at Albany." Company mustered Oct. 11, 1756, under Capt.
Stebbins and Col. Ruggles; and again on page 511, "Samuel Glo-
ver sick at Albany." In an alphabetical list of men's names in Col.
Timothy Ruggles's company, is " Samuel Glover, born at Dorchester,
lived last at Needham; farmer; 26 jrs old ; volunteer, served at Fort
Edward." His name was not reported after 1756. It is supposed
by some of his descendants that he was murdered by the Indians at
Greenbush, near Albany.

ham, Mass.

244. Thomas, b. in 1753; dic^d in infancy.

245. Anna, b. June 26, 1755 ; d. Sept. 20, 1755.

+246. Samuel, b. April 25, 1756 ; m. Miriam Clarke, of Sturbridge.

Ruth Wheat, the wife of Samuel Glover, was the daughter of
Moses Wheat, of Needham, was born there, and died in Belchertown,
Mass. She was twice married. After the death of Samuel Glover,
she married Joseph Mason, of Sturbridge. Intention dated, on Town
Records, Jan. 9, 1761. They were not married until April of that
year. It is not known how long after their marriage they remained
in Sturbridge, but they subsequently removed to Belchertown, taking
with them her only sou, Samuel Glover, to reside in their family.

* Mrs. Parti-idgc was his patron, but whether rel.ited or not, has not been ascertained.
She was Elizabeth, the daughter of Jolin Hubbard, Esq., and widow of Capt. Samuel Par-
tridge, and had not always i-csided in nrooklinc. In her last years she went to boai'd with
the Gooch family, and died there Jan. G, 1814, aged 86 years.

Copy of a Marriage Contract made and signed in relation to her son,
previous to the marriage of Capt. Joseph Mason with Ruth Glover.
Sturbridge, March 17, 1761. Whereas Marriage is intended be-
tween Joseph Mason and Ruth Glover, both of Sturbridge, in the
County of Worcester and Province of Massachusetts Bay in New
England, This may Certify that I Joseph Mason, Yeoman, do cove-
nant, promise and engage to and with the said Ruth Glover, that after
marriage, as she has therefore a desire to bring her son Samuel Glo-
ver, who is about five years of age, into my family until he be four-
teen years of age, I therefore do grant her request, and do promise
and engage if she the said Ruth will earnestly engage to do her en-
deavor of putting him out as soon as she can find a place to please
her mind. And I therefore do promise and engage that I the said
Joseph Mason will not act or do any thing to disturb or vex her the
said Ruth Glover about disposing of this her said son while he is under
my protection. And I do therefore promise and engage to allow him
the necessaries of Life as I do one of my other Children, so long as
he shall live with me while he is under fourteen. And if there be no
great or heavy expenses, sickness or lameness, or any unforeseen ac-
cidents happen to make a great change while he the said Samuel
Glover shall live with me, I do therefore promise that I will not ex-
pect any thing that belongs to him the said Samuel Glover, of his
portion nor Estate, neither myself nor my heirs. And may the Good
God enable us to live and maintain Love, peace and Unity.

Witness my hand, Joseph Mason.

tunate as to be taken while cruising in the English Channel, and car-
ried to Ireland. The officers were all confined there, but the sailors
were sent prisoners to Plymouth jail, twelve of whom were from this
town (Quincy), a list of whom I enclose. The friends of these people
have received intelligence, by way of an officer who belonged to the
Protector, and who escaped from the jail, that in August last thej
were all alive, but several of them were very destitute of clothing,
having taken out few with them, and those for summer — particularly

" At a meeting of the Society of the Cincinnati of Massachusetts, at
the United States Hotel, Boston, on the 3d day of October, 1848, the
melancholy tidings having been recei\;ed of the decease of Gen. Bur-
beck, their President, which took place yesterday morning at his resi-
dence in New London, Ct., at the advanced age of nearly ninety-five
years, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :

" Whereas, The meritorious military sen''ices of General Burbeck
during the War of the Revolution, and during a large portion of his
life, are held in high estimation, while his honorable and exemplary
conduct, as a citizen, has won the eminent regard and attachment of
those who have enjoyed his acquaintance ; gratefully acknowledging
the kind and merciful Providence by which his life has been extended
to the latest term allotted to mortality, and deeply deploring the loss
which this Society has sustained in its cherished and honored Presi-
dent, and anxious to evince the respect it entertains for his virtues —

"Resolved, That Gen. Henry A. S. Dearborn, Robert G. Shaw,
Thomas Jackson, Elijah Vose, Charles S. Davies, Adams Bailey, Henry
K. Hancock, Rev. Alfred S. Baury, Rev. Eleazer M. P. Wells and
William Perkins, be a Committee to visit New London to attend the
funeral of General Burbeck to-morrow afternoon, and at the same time
to communicate to his bereaved family its expi-ession of the deep and
sincere sympathy of this Society in an event which has brought grief
and sorrow into his mourning household.

" Resolved, That this expression be communicated to the family of
the deceased by the hands of the Secretary.

"Thomas Jackson, Secretary. H, A. S. Dearborn, Chairman."

" Much of the early part of Gen. Burbeck's life was spent at Cas-
tle William, now Fort Independence, in Boston Harbor, his father
teing an officer of the Ordnance Department in the service of Great
Britain. His father promptly took part with the popular cause, and
entered into the service of his country at the breaking out of the War of
the Revolution. He also, having just attained his majority, joined the
American army ; and his first commission as Lieutenant in a company
of which his father had command, is dated at Cambridge, 10th of
May, 1775, and is signed by Gen. Joseph Warren. This commission
ranks among the earliest in the American service. He received the
commission of Captain in the Regiment of Artillery of the Massa-
chusetts line, the 11th of September, 1777, and continued in that regi-
ment and line until the close of the war. In the toils and sufferings
of the Revolution, Gen. Burbeck bore a full share. In 1775, he was
with the army at Cambridge, Mass. In 1776, he was employed in the
vicinity of New York, until the evacuation of the city in September ;
and in 1777 he joined the army in Pennsylvania under Gen. Washing-
ton ; was in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown, and in the
terrible deprivations and sufferings of the winter at Valley Forge. He
shared the perils of the memorable retreat through New Jersey, and
was present at the battle of Monmouth. He continued in active ser-
vice until the close of the war in 1783 ; and when the army was dis-
banded, he returned to private life with the brevet rank of Major.

" Three years subsequently he again entered the service of his
country with the rank of Captain, and was for several years actively
engaged in the Indian Wars along the Western frontier under General

NATHANIEL GLOVER. 315

Anthony Wayne. His death has left Gen. Solomon Van Rensselaer
the only surviving officer of Wayne's army. Four years he held the
command of Fort Mackinaw, then a solitary Post, almost entirely cut
off from all communication with the civilized world.

"In the war with Great Britain, which commenced in 1812, hecom-
nianded at New York, Newport, New London and Greenbush, with
the rank of Brigadier General; and, on the declaration of peace, in
1815, he retired from public service to spend the evening of his days
m the tranquillity of domestic life, having spent thirty-eight years,
almost incessantly, in active military service.

"Gen. Burbeck was one of the original members of the Society of
Cincinnati, and was the last survivor of those whose names were first
subscribed to the articles of that Association. At the time of his
decease he was President of the Cincinnati of Massachusetts.

" Few men live so long as Gen. Burbeck, and to still fewer is long
life so great a blessing. Blessed with a sound mind in a sound body,
with an attentive and affectionate family, and the respect and confi-
dence of his fellow citizens, his years glided calmly and happily away
A man of war from his youth, he was characterized by a soldier's sin-
cerity and freedom. He had a heart without malice and without
guile. All who knew him, knew a man of sterling honesty and open-
hearted truth, without disguise and without pretension. A shrewd
observer of men and things, he uttered his opinion of them without
reserve or ceremony ; yet in a spirit so devoid of acrimony or unkind-
ness, as seldom to give pain or excite displeasure. His mental facul-
ties knew no decay, but remained, till within a short time of his death
as fresh, sprightly and active as they were in the days of his youth!
With a meniory remarkably retentive and minute, looking back upon
a past rich in materials of uncommon interest and variety, he was au
amusing and instructive companion, entirely free from the asperities
and repetitions which are the usual infirmities of age. Indeed, he
kept pace with the course of events, and ever lived in the present that
was around him, and not after the manner of old age, in the past that
had faded away. No second childhood overtook him, but at the end
of his almost century of years on earth, he came to his death-bed with
no sign or symptom of childishness in his mind and character. In his
last sickness he expressed his firm belief in the Christian Revelation
his faith in the Redeemer, and his reliance on the mercy of God and
calmly and cheerfully obeyed the summons that called him from earth-
ly scenes to the world of spirits, missed and mourned by many who
knew and esteemed him in his walks among men."

and Mary (G-lover) Morrell, was born in Boston, Sept. 10, 1784, and
died in Roxbury, May 22, 1843, in her 60th year.

She was married, Jan. 24, 1810, to Rufus Wyman, M.D. He was
the son of Zebediah and Eunice Wyman, of Woburn, and was born
there July 16, 1778; graduated at Harvard College in 1799; at-
tended the study of medicine and surgery under the instruction of
Dr. John Jeffries, Sen. ; and subsequently, when he had acquired a
competent knowledge of the profession, commenced the practice of
medicine in Chelmsford, where he was highly esteemed for his pro-
fessional skill, integrity of character, and usefulness as a citizen. In
1 8 1 8 he was chosen Physician and Superintendent of the McLean
Asylum for the Insane, then just commencing its operations, the whole
management of which he organized, and where he remained in active
service seventeen years. Of his success, Dr. Luther V. Bell, twenty-
four years later, speaks in these words : " The weight of responsi-
bility and difficulty which necessarily fell upon him, must have been
far greater than any of his successors in such trusts, who had
the aids of his ingenuity and labors, can have experienced. Indeed,
to this day, scarce any institution can be visited in the land where
evidence of the operations of his mind do not present themselves on
every hand, not only in details of architectural and mechanical ar-
rangements, but in the moral regimen and internal system." " There
was a moral beauty in his character, a sterling, uncompromising in-
tegrity in him, as a medical director of a public institution, and
which may well serve as a model to all who may be called upon to
discharge such functions." Dr. Wyman left the Asylum in 1834, on
account of the failure of his health, and the remainder of his life was
passed in Roxbury. During his retirement he manifested the same
untiring activity and the same interest in all good works that marked
his public career in previous years. In a sermon preached after his
death, Dr. George Putnam used the following words in relation to
him : " I cannot now, I could not in his life-time, gather any words
concerning him, but words of commendation and admiring respect.
He was not one of those who are prized only after death. His cha-
racter was of that positive sort, so obviously and constantly ruled by

high principle, that men noted it while he lived, as they only note
those who are really aljove the level of common excellence, who live
not by exponents but by principle, not to appearances but to fulfil
righteousness for righteousness sake." He was appointed and served
in various offices of trust and honor in the town where he lived ; was
a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences ; and, for
two years previous to his decease, was President of the Massachu-
setts Medical Society. He died in Roxbury, June 22, 1842, aged 64
years. His death is alluded to in one of the daily newspapers, as
that of one " long and extensively known and respected as the Su-
perintendent of the McLean Hospital for the Insane at Charlestown."

(415) LEMUEL BLAKE, the third son of William and Rachel
(Glover) Blake, was born in Boston, Aug, 9, 1775, and died there,
March 4, 1861, in his 86th year. He was never married. With his
decease, the line of Pelatiah Glover, Jr., the youngest son of Na-
thaniel Glover, Jr., became extinct. He used often to say that
"he was the last of his line." He always took a lively interest
in whatever related to the history and genealogy of his family, of
both Blake and Glover descents, and has from time to time commu-
nicated to the writer his recollections of family incidents and rela-
tionships. Of his business relations and occupations he gave in sub-
stance the following : In early life he was placed in a bookstore kept
by Gould & Blake, known as the Boston Book Store, on the corner
of Spring Lane and Cornhill. In 1797, at the age of 22 years, he
commenced business with his brother William Pynson Blake, and
ca,rried on the book and publishing business, under the firm of Wil-
liam P. & Lemuel Blake. He was subsequently connected with
David West, in the same business, as West & Blake. At another
time, after discontinuing the book and publishing business, he con-
nected himself with Joseph L. Cunningham, as Auctioneers and Com-
mission Merchants, under the firm and name of Blake & Cunning-
ham. He read much, and was intellectually agreeable and well in-
formed on present and past literature and histrionic lore. He pre-
pared a few works for publication, among which was Webster's
Speeches on the Constitution. Of Mr. Webster he was an ardent
admirer. His last employment, and to which he devoted much of his
time, was the construction of a Portable Map of the World, which
was never issued, on account of the failure of the publishers into
whose hands he had committed it. He was enthusiastic in view of
the great good to be accomplished by it, and spent much of his time
and money to render it acceptable to the public. Its failure was the
cause of a bitter disappointment, occurring as it did towards the
close of his life. He took a great interest in military aflairs, belong-
ed to two independent companies, and was an officer in each. He
was first a member of the Independent Cadet company, and was
elected Sergeant; second, was chosen Ensign, and subsequently

Lieutenant, in the New England Guards, and received from them a
vakiable piece of silver plate as a token of their regard for him and
gratitude for his services. He was elected to various offices of trust
and honor in civil life. He was treasurer and secretary of the
Washington Benevolent Society ; was an efficient and active member,
and was a regular attendant at its meetings. He was forward and
energetic in procuring the statue of Washington, wliich now stands in
the State House, and was present at the first meeting for the consid-
eration of that subject. He is said, by all who had the honor
of his acquaintance, to have been a gentleman of strict integrity, the
soul of honor, with noble and generous aspirations, strong affections,
and appreciated in the fullest sense the kindness of the many friends
who gathered around him in the decline of life to show their high
estimation of his worth.

(551 ) LEWIS JOSEPH GLOVER, eldest and twin son of Ezra
and Eunice (Minot) Glover, was born in Quincy, Feb. 26, 1807, and
died in Pepperell, Mass., June 24, 1856. He commenced Ms pre-
paratory studies for college at Lexington Academy, where he remain-
ed one year. The instruction in that institution being interrupted
and suspended, he completed his studies at Milton Academy. He
entered Harvard College, passed through the regular course of study,
and graduated there in the class of 1832. He commenced the study
of medicine under the instruction of Dr. James Jackson (H. U. 1796),
and at the end of three years received his medical diploma, and
began the practice of his profession in Boston, where he was in suc-
cessful practice about twelve years. He attained a high rank as a
physician and surgeon, and was much esteemed by his acquaintance
and professional brethren. He was distinguished for his uprightness,
integrity, and faithfulness to his patients. Being in affluent pecu-
niary circumstances, he had great consideration for the poor. After
the decease of his father, in 1847, he left Boston and his practice
there, and resided at the homestead in Quincy, employing himself in
taking care of his estates. About two years previous to his decease
he had a slight attack of paralysis, followed by mental alienation,
which continued, with occasional lucid intervals, until his death. He
was never married.

(553) JOHN JEFFERSON GLOVER, second and youngest son
of Ezra and Eunice (Minot) Glover, was born in Quincy, June 13,
1828, on the estate and in the mansion house where he now resides
(Nov., 1866), and which has passed down to him as an estate of in-
heritance from his ancestors. At an early age he attended private
schools at Neponset and Quincy, and subsequently studied a prepara-
tory course of three years at Milton Academy. In 1845, at the age
of seventeen years, he entered Harvard College at Cambridge, and
was graduated there, in the class of 1849. He was intended for the
profession of law, but delicate health and peculiar domestic relations
compelling a change from the original plan, he turned his attention

NATHANIEL GLOVEB. 369

to agricultural pursuits. The decease of his father before his colle-
giate course was completed ; the disease which had attacked his only-
brother ; the sole care and comfort of a beloved mother devolving at
once on him, threw around him circumstances, which, added to the
care and management of their estates, rendered it imperative on him
to remain at home and relinquish the pursuit of a profession. The
estate which he possesses was originally a portion of the farm called
Newbury farm, formerly belonging to the Hon. John Glover, of
Dorchester, his first American ancestor, and which was the portion of
the fifth son, Rev. Pelatiah Glover, of Springfield, and sold by his
heirs in 1699 to "William Rawson and Nathaniel Glover, who divided
in 1702. The half part belonging to William Rawson was sold by
him in 1716, and by his eldest son Capt. William Rawson, for sums
of sixty, and four hundred pounds, to Ebenezer Hinckley, youngest
son of Gov. Thomas Hinckley, of Barnstable. After the decease of
Mr. Hinckley in 1721, a portion of it was in possession of his widow,
who married John George in 1722, and the remainder was the inheri-
tance of his son Ebenezer and daughter Rachel Hinckley. In 1739
John George sold the widow's dower to John Glover, the great-grand-
father of the present incumbent, including the mansion house and
lands belonging to it, for a homestead estate, who left it at his decease
to his son Elisha Glover, who subsequently purchased the rights of the
Hinckley heirs, bringing the whole estate together, and left it (the
mansion house and a portion of the land), in 1811, to his son Ezra
Glover, who owned and occupied it until his decease in 1847, when
it passed to his heirs, viz., his widow and two sons. At the decease
of Lewis Joseph, the eldest son, who died intestate, his portion pass-
ed to his mother, who deceased in 1863, leaving the youngest son sole
heir, and who is the present possesser and occupant.

John Jefferson Glover has been for many years connected with the
management of the Granite Bridge Corporation, and was one of the
original projectors and grantees of the Quincy Railroad, of which he
was a Director, and in August, 1865, was elected its President.

Elijah Glover, Esq., of Camden, perished in the ill-fated schooner
Levi Woodbury, on the 6th day of October last (1849). His body
is deposited in the great deep, over which no monument can be erect-
ed, and over his remains the storm will beat, the sun will shine, and
the waves of old ocean will roll on, leaving no traces to mark his lone
grave, until the sound of the last trump, when the sea shall give up
its dead. But his memory still survives, and is written on the hearts
of his brethren, and, we trust, is also written on the trestle board of
the Great Architect of the universe, where it will be noticed and
receive ample justice in the great day of accounts."

Me., Jan. 25, 1850, the following preamble and resolutions Avere

Benjamin Franklin Glover, therefore

" Resolved, That we are deeply aflfected by this intelligence of
Brother Glover's death, and view it as a solemn admonition to us to
* be also ready.' And although he was but a short time member of
our Order, yet the high estimation in which he was held for his amiable
deportment and good moral character, will embalm his memory in our
hearts.

"Resolved, That we tender to the bereaved parents and relatives of
the deceased our sincere condolence for the overwhelming bereave-
ment visited upon them in the loss of a beloved son and affectionate
friend."

a distinguished master mariner, and took up his abode in St. Chinstopher's, British West
Indies. He manied there a Scotch lady, Miss Malcolm, and their son Isaac Rand (l>om
there in 17G9) was the father of the above. He was sent, at a veiy early age, to Charles-
town to be educated under the care of his grandftither ; entered Harvard College, and grad-
uated in the class of 1787, at the age of 18 years ; studied medicine, and practised his pro-
fession in Boston ; married there, in 1804, to Lucy Whitwcll (see page 344). In 1819 he

he was a grandson, and that his father was a sea captain instead of a physician.

PELATIAH GLOVER. 453

[Second Generation.']

PELATIAH GLOVER.

V. Rev. Pelatiah Glover, the fifth son and youngest child of
John Glover, Esq., and Anna his -wife, was born in Dorchester, N. E.,
in November, 1636-7, and baptized there by Rev. Richard Mather,
pastor of the Church in Dorchester. He died at Springfield, March
29, 1692, aged 55 years. He resided during his youth in Dorchester,
as appears by the list of names of those who attained the age of
twenty-one years previous to 1700,* and was prepared for college
under the instruction of Rev. Mr. Mather. We have no means of
ascertaining the date of his entrance at Harvard College but by con-
jecture. At the time of his father's decease he had attained the age
of seventeen years. By a codicil to his father's will, bearing date
April 11, 1653, he was to receive the sum of two hundred pounds in
money in addition to what had been provided for his education, and
one-fourth part of his two farms in Dorchester, which had been
reserved as the widow's dower, at the decease of his mother. His
father died in 1653, and it is not probable he had entered Harvard
at that date. Farmer writes of him, that he was educated at Harvard
College, but did not receive a degree. Another writer says he enter-
ed Harvard College and passed through a regular course of thi-ee
years, but did not graduate, without assigning any reason. The fol-
lowing notice of him, on the Dorchester Church Records, shows he
was a student there in 1658, and at the age of twenty-one years:
"26: 7: 1658. Mr. Pelatiah Glover united with the Church at
Dorchester, he being then at Harvard College." There is no
record of the time he left there, but it is probable that, at that date,
his course of three years was nearly completed, and that he left soon
after. We learn from the College records, that about this time
another year was added to the course of collegiate study, requiring
four years instead of three before conferring a degree, and that
seventeen students, having completed a course of three years, left
Harvard and commenced the study of Divinity under private teach-
ers. Only a few names of these are mentioned on the records, viz.,
William Brinsmaid, Ichabod Wiswall, &c. ; but there can be little
doubt that Mr. Pelatiah Glover was one of the seventeen who left at

that time and commenced the study of their profession with clergy-
men. He studied Divinity with the Rev. Richard Mather, and it is
recorded of him that he preached at Dorchester, June 15, 1659,
about one year from the date when he is stated to be of Harvard
College. An extract from the Church Records is as follows : " June
15, 1659, this year, was a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer in
all the jurisdiction in behalf of our native country ; the fears, com-
motions and troubles in the country and in Parliament ; rents and
divisions in many of the Churches, especially at Hartford (N. E.);
the hand of God against us in the unseasonable wet and rain of last
spring ; and the face of things in regard to the rising generation.
Mr. Pelatiah Glover preached in the morning from Second Chronicles
7th chapter, 14, 15, 16 verses; Mr. Mather in the afternoon, from
Hosea, 6th chapter, 1st verse."

July 3, 1659, he preached at Springfield, which is noted in the
records of that town as his first sermon there. June 10, 1660, there
was another day of fasting and prayer at Dorchester. " Mr. Pelatiah
Glover preached in the morning from Zechariah 1 chap. 3 verse ;
Mr. Mather in the afternoon, from Ezekiel 21 chap. 27 verse."

"9:4:1661. Mr. Pelatiah Glover was appointed by the Church
at Dorchester to the settlement of the Rev. Eleazer Mather at North-
hamton." He preached the sermon on that occasion. "13: 8: 1661.
Mr. Pelatiah Glover was dismissed from the Church at Dorchester
to the Church in Springfield, they intending shortly to call him to
office there." — {Dor. Ch. Rec.)

June 18, 1661, he was ordained at Springfield over the Fii'st
Church there, as its second minister and the successor of the Rev.
George Moxon.* He was furnished with a parsonage, and eighty

* Rev. George Moxon was the first minister of the Church at Springfield. He was a
native of Yorksliire, England, and was graduated at the University of Cambridge. After
due preparation he gave himself to the ministry. The date of his coming to New England
has not been ascertained ; but he was in Dorchester as early as 1636, and was admitted to
the Church there under that date, soon after its gathering. On the fourth page of the first
volume of the Dorchester Church Records it is said of him : " Mr. George Moxon, Mr.
William Tompson, and Mr. Samuel Newman, Ministers, were admitted to join the Church
this day, August 30, 1636." He was called to preach at Springfield, and was ordained there
in the year 1637 ; and in that year he was made freeman at Boston and sent as a Deputy
to the General Court at Hartford, from Springfield. His house was built in 1639. He con-
tinued in the ministry at Springfield fifteen years. The date of his marriage, and his wife's
name, have not been ascertained. Tlie biiths of three of his children arc found in the eariy
records at Springfield, as follows : " Union Moxon, son of Rev. George Moxon, was born

12 : 16 : 1641 ; Samuel Moxon was born 3 : 10 : 1645 ; Moxon was born 3 : 10 : 1647,

baptized the 23 of the same month." The christian name of the last cliild has been torn oflf

pounds a year salary, which was subsequently, in 1678, increased by
twenty pounds more, making it equal to one hundred pounds annual-
ly. The parsonage mansion was built for Mr. Moxon by voluntary
assessment. It was 35 by 15 feet, with a porch and study in it.
The roof was thatched, and the cellar walls were planked. The fol-
lowihg extract from an historical discourse by Rev. William B.
Sprague, pastor of the First Church in West Springfield, delivered
there Dec. 2, 1824, gives an account of the contract and the condi-
tions of his settlement :

"The town of Springfield purchased Mr. Moxon's estate for
seventy pounds. Although it seems to have been their original pur-
pose to appropriate it for the benefit of the ministry, it does not
appear that this was expressly done until 1665. At the time of Mr.
Glover's settlement, in 1661, the town voted that he should have the
use of the house and land belonging to it while he continued with
them in the ministry, on condition that he should leave it in as good
a state as he found it. But in 1665 they voted to give the aforesaid
estate to Mr. Glover, provided he should continue to be their teacher
during his life, or that he should remove by mutual consent; and in
case of bis thus removing, or in case that after his death his wife and
children should choose to leave the place, the town should then have
the refusal of the property. It was during Mr. Glover's ministry,
in the year 1675, that the town was scourged by the Indians. The
conflagration of the town immediately ensued, and about thirty dwell-
ing houses and thirty-Bve barns were destroyed. Among them was
the house occupied by the Rev. Mr. Glover, together with his library,
which is said to have been extensive and valuable.

" In 1677, shortly after the destruction of the town by the Indians,
in which Mr. Glover's house was burned, they voted to rebuild it;
but having determined that they had no right to transfer to him the
property which had been appropriated to the use of the ministry
forever, they voted that the building, with the land connected with it,
should be improved according to the original appropriation, it being

or worn out, so that it cannot be read. In 1652 Rev. Mr. Moxon resigned his charge and
returned to England, in company with Mr. Pyncheon and others. He never returned. The
cause of his departure is not certainly known, but supposed to be on account of two of his
children having been accused of witchcraft, and the unpleasant circumstances which were
connected with this trouble. He died Sept. 15, 1687, aged 87 years-and, as it is said, " poor
and out of the ministry." A further notice of Mr. Moxon may be found in Calamy's
i-jccted Mimsters." Some of his manuscript sermons are stiU in existence.

no longer considered as private property ; but iQasmuch as tliey had
once been given to Mr. Glover, in order to recompense him the town
agreed to allow him one hundred pounds in addition to his stated
salary, provided he should continue to be their minister during his
life. In 1681 there was an agreement between Mr. Glover and the
town to refer to the General Court the question, ' whether the dona-
tion which the town had made to him, of the house and land pur-
chased for the ministry, was legal and consistent with right.' The
General Court decided that the town had no right to dispose of the
property after the original appropriation ; but that they were never-
theless bound to make up the loss to Mr. Glover in some other way.
In 1682 they endeavored to bargain with him by an exchange of
property ; but the controversy was never finally settled until after his
decease. In 1692 there was an agreement between the town and
Mr. Pelatiah Glover, son of the deceased clergyman, to refer the
matters to arbitrators, and their decision was that the town should pay
to Mr. Glover the sum of three hundred and fifty pounds, and the land
on that condition should revert back to its original use. This de-
cision ended the controversy."

The following is the deed of transfer of the estate in question to
Mr. Glover:

The foregoing is a copy of a deed recorded in Hampden Registry
of Deeds, Book A, page 52. J. E. Russell, Begister,

Springfield, August 27, 1862. by Wells Bridge.

The same writer, Rev. Mr. Sprague, says, " He continued his labors
among them until they were terminated by death, the record of which
is as follows, under date of March 29, 1692 : 'The Rev. Pelatiah
Glover fell asleep in Jesus.' " He also adds the following : " He is
represented as having been a diligent student, an energetic preacher,
and a faithful pastor."

Another writer says, " Mr. Glover was an able man and of high
attainments as a scholar."

All writers of his time who have noticed him, represent him as a
man of distinguished talents, of great dignity and suavity of manners,
united with the graces of christian accomplishments, which rendered
his address that of the polished gentleman, as well as of the digni-
fied clergyman ; and also as having attained to a high degree of
scholarship and literary distinction. He received students in Divi-
nity, and prepared for the ministry many who became eminent in their
time for learning and ability ; among whom was the Rev. Timothy
Edwards, of East Windsor, Conn. His " large and elegant library
has been noticed by many of his cotemporaries as containing rare
and valuable books, such as could never be replaced. It was de-
stroyed with his house at the time the Indians ravaged and burned
Springfield, in the year 1675. His house was replaced by a new
and more commodious one, built of brick and fortified, at a cost of
£108 15 shillings; but his library, which it is stated he valued and
cherished above all his other household goods, could never be re-
stored."

An extract from the Narrative of Indian Wars, page 111, shows the
high value he placed upon his library. It appears that some time
previous to the burning of his house, he had removed the treasures
contained in his library to a neighboring garrison, to secure them
from the dangers whicli were then apparent ; and the extract de-
scribes the destruction and irreparable loss as follows :

" Among the ruins of said dwellings, tlie saddest to behold was
the house of Mr. Pelatiah Glover, the minister of the town. It was

PELATIAH GLOVER. 459

"fiirnislied with a brave library, which he had newly brought back
from the garrison wherein it had been for some time before secured ;
but as if the danger had been past and over with them, the said
minister, a great student, helluo librarum, being impatient for want of
his books, brought them back, to his great sorrow, fit for a bonfire to
the proud insulting enemy. Of all the mischiefs done by the said
enemy, the burning of the Town of Springfield did more than any
other to discover the said actors to be the children of the Devil, full
of all sublety and malice ; there having been for above forty years
a good correspondence between the English of that Town and the
neighboring Indians. But in them is made good what is said in the
55th Psalm, verse 21, 'Though their words were smoother than but-
ter, yet war was in their hearts ; and though their words were softer
than oil, yet were they di'awn swords.' "

Trumbull, the historian, in his account of the burning of the town
of Springfield by the Indians, adds the following : " The Rev. Mr.
Pelatiah Glover, minister of the town, had his house burned, with a
large and elegant library."

A late writer. Dr. Holland, thus notices him in his History of
"Western Massachusetts, Volume I. : " Nine years after the discharge
of the Rev. George Moson, they settled the Rev. Pelatiah Glover, a
man of fine talents, high attainments and ardent piety. He lost one
of the most valuable private libraries that New England then con-
tained, which was burned with his mansion house by the Indians in
1675 ; " and refers to Hubbard's account in his Indian Narratives.

Mr. Glover was often called to sit in judgment at Ecclesiastical
Councils, both in Connecticut and Massachusetts ; and invariably at-
tended— his presence, it has been stated, " being indispensable amor.g
them, on account of his sound and discriminating judgment." The
Church over which he presided was, according to some writers, the
fourteenth in order of time, of the New England Churches. Mr.
Savage, in Winthrop's Journal, makes it the twenty-sixtli, postponing
its foundation until 1645. His cotemporaries in the ministry were,
first, the Rev. Eleazer Mather, of Northampton, wliom he assisted to
ordain — a graduate of Harvard College in 1656. Between them
there was a great intimacy. They were admitted to the Church on
the same day, and were fellow students in Divinity. Mr. Glover
survived him, and was a cotcmporary with tis successor, the Rev.
Solomon Stoddard: also with Rev. Samuel Hooker, of Farming-

ton, Conn, ; Rev. Joseph Elliot, of Guilford ; Rev. Edward Taylor,
of Westfield, Mass., whom he assisted to ordain. The letters missive,,
calling a Council to organize' the Clmrch at We&tfield, and ordain tte
first pastor, were dated July 1, 1679. The Council wa& requested
to convene on the last 4th day of the 6th month, 1679, which was
Aug. 27th, 0. S. — the year at that time commencing with March.
The Council consisted of the Rev. Solomon Stoddard, of Northamp-
ton— Mr. Strong, Ruling Elder, and Capt. Aaron Cook and Lieut.
Clark, Messengers; Rev. John Russell, of Hadley, Pastor — Lieut.
Smith and Mr. Younglougli, Messengers; Rev. Pelatiah Glover, of
Springfield, Pastor and Teaching Elder — Mr. John Holyoke, Dea.
Burt and Mr. Parsons, Messengers ; and one Messenger from Wind-
sor, Ct., the pastor being detained by sickness in his family. There
were present as guests, the Rev. Samuel Hooker, of Farmington, Ct,
and the worshipful Major John Pyncheon, of Springfield. After the
Church was organized, Mr. Taylor signified his acceptance, and the
Rev. Mr. Russell offered the introductory prayer, and Mr. Glover the
ordaining prayer.

Trumbull gives the following notice of Mr. Glover in the acts of
the Synod of Connecticut, under date of Oct. 11, 1666: "It is or-
dered that all the presiding Elders who are or shall be settled in
this colony at the time appointed for the meeting of this Synod, be
sent to." It was also ordered by the Legislature that Mr. Mitchell,
Mr. Brown, Mr. Skinner and Mr. Glover of Massachusetts should be
invited to assist as members of the Synod.

From the journal of Rev. William Adams, dated Nov. 10, 1671 :
" This day, at evening, I received a letter from the inhabitants of
Westfield, inviting me thither to preach, with one from Major Pyn-
cheon and another from Mr. Glover, both in their behalf."

Rev. Pelatiah Glover was married, May 20, 1660, to Hannah
Cullick, daughter of Capt. John Cullick, of Boston, by his first
wife; born about 1640, and died in SpringEeld, Dec. 20, 1689.
Nothing further in relation to her mother has been ascertained, as to
her origin, the time of her marriage, or the date of her death, which
latter was previous to 1648. It is probable that she was a native of
England, and came over after her marriage. Her father, Capt. John
Cullick, was at one time a prominent man in Boston, was largely
engaged in commercial pursuits, and ranked among tlic wealthy mer-
chants of the place. He was a member of the Ancient and Honor-

PELATIAH GLOVER. 461

able Artillery Company in England, a branch of wliicli was organized
in Boston, N. E., in 1637. He was also a member of the Masonic
Brotherhood before coming to New England. Capt. Cullick was
married to his second wife, Elizabeth Fenwick, May 20, 1648. She
was the daughter of Col. George Fenwick, of Saybrook, Ct., by his
wife the Lady Alice Apsley, who died and was buried in Lyme, Ct.
A monument for her has been erected there. She retained her title
after her union with Col. Fenwick, and it is borne on the inscription
engraved on her monument, which was designed by her husband.
Col. Fenwick afterwards returned to England, and died there in
1657.

Capt. Cullick was early in Boston. Farmer says he died there,
Jan. 23, 1663. His will bears date 1662, and is in substance as
follows : " I John Cullick of Boston being sick, &c., I give unto my
son John Cullick 150 pounds Lawful Money of New England to be
payed him at the age of twenty one years ; unto my daughter Mary
Cullick, and to my daughter Elizabeth Cullick, 150 pounds each to
be payed them at the age of twenty one years or on the day of their
marriage. To my wife Elizabeth Cullick, my sole Executrix, the
rest of my estate. My loving friends Capt. John Leverctt and James
Penn, both of Boston, Overseers of this my disposition of my estate
by my Last Will and Testament."

Witnessed by John Leverctt, James Penn, and Increase Mather,
who deposed Jan. 27, 1662-3.

An inventory of the estate, taken Feb. 10, 1662-3, by Edward
Huchinson and Thomas Brattle, mentions in the schedule a quarter
part of " a vessell at sea, whereof Capt. Samuel Gallop is master."
Mrs. Elizabeth Cullick, Executrix and relict widow of Capt. John
Cullick, deposed 19 March, 1662-3.

There is no mention in all this of any daughter Hannah. The
date of the will and his death, according to Farmer, is about one
year after her marriage with Mr. Glover; which leads to the suppo-
sition that he must have been twice married, and that his daughter
Hannah, as tliere appears to be no record of her birth here, may
have been born in England. The year 1648 seems to be the first
date found of him, which was the time of his marriage to Elizabeth
Fenwick, of New London. He must have resided there, or at Hart-
ford, a short time after his marriage, and the births of two of his
children are found in the Hartford Town Records as follows : " John,
40*

462 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

son of Capt. John Cullick, was born May 4, 1649;" and "Eliza-
beth, daughter of Capt. John Cullick, was born July 15, 1652."
Among the admissions to the First Church in Boston, there is record-
ed of him — " Capt. John Cullick and his wife were admitted this
day ; and two children, John and Elizabeth, were baptized 27:9:
1659."

There is nothing irreconcilable in all this, but in the will of Edward
Hopkins there is found this bequest : " To the eldest child of Capt.
John Cullick, by Elizabeth his first wife, who was a daughter of Col.
George Fenwick." This, if true, raises an objection to the first state-
ment or supposition that the wife of Mr. Glover was by a former wife
of Capt. Cullick ; but that she was his daughter and the same of
whom the above items are recorded, is beyond a doubt. It is dis-
tinctly stated thus on the Boston Records by the recorder of her
marriage, and no further testimony has been found in relation to it.
Twelve years after her father's marriage to Elizabeth Fenwick, in
1648, as it is recorded, Hannah was married, which renders it indis-
putable that Elizabeth Fenwick was his second wife, and not the
mother of the wife of Mr. Glover. And the presumption is also as
undisputable that Mrs. Glover was a daughter by a former wife.

Children of the Rev. Pelatiah and Hannah (Cullick) Glover,
born in Springfield :

-f 1. Samuel, b. Nov. 28, 1661 ; d. July 24, 1689, in his 28th year.

2. John, b. July 1, 1663; d Jan. 14, 1664-5.

Rev. Mr. Glover, his wife, and all but one of his children, were
buried in the ancient burial ground in Springfield, and the bodies
remained there many years. In 1838, the Western Railroad, from
Worcester to the State line of New York, was located to pass di-
rectly through this consecrated spot, where the founders of the town
had laid out a final resting-place for themselves and their descend-
ants ; and in 1 848 the remains of all who had been buried there were
exhumed and removed to a new cemetery which was purchased
and dedicated to, the purpose. When this took place there was much
interest manifested, and a deep and reverent sensation pervaded the
minds of the inhabitants then living there. Many assembled to wit-

PELATIAH GLOVER. 463

ness the solemn spectacle, and to observe the state in which the bodies
might be found, as well as to show their profound reverence and
veneration for their ancestors. It is stated, by persons who were
present, that the form of the Rev. Pelatiah Glover remained perfect.
It had become petrified in the long time it had been buried — a period
of one hundred and fifty-six years. The grave, from which it was
taken, was submerged with water. His gravestone had gone entirely
to decay, as well as those of all but one of his family. Yet the body
was fully identified. The inscription on the headstone of his son
John was imperfectly deciphered, and was as follows :

" Here lyeth y* bodye of John y* son of Mr. Pelatiah Glover, who
died y* 14 of January 1664.

My Bodye sleeps — my soule hath quiet rest
In Arras of God in Christ who makes us blest ;
The time draws on apace when God ye Son
To see his face shall bcvth unite in one."

The following account, in relation to the state in which the remains
of this child, not two years old when buried, were found, appeared
in the Springfield Gazette : " We witnessed this afternoon the disin-
terment of the remains of John Glover, a son of the Rev. Pelatiah
Glover, second minister of Springfield. He was buried in Jan.,
1664, one hundred and eighty-four years ago. Notwithstanding the
lapse of this long period, pieces of the decayed coffin, and all the
larger bones of the body, with the skull and portions of the hair yet
remaining upon it, were found and removed. This is the oldest
grave, save one, the identity of which is known."

The spot on which the ancient burial ground was laid out is now
covered with buildings of various kinds — a commodious depot and
other edifices, stores, machine shops, &c., to accommodate the West-
ern Railroad Company.

Mr. Glover was wealthy, and it is stated that his house was the
seat of hospitality ; that to all of his numerous friends and acquain-
tances he always gave a courteous and elegant reception. His house
was well supplied with servants, and he was in every respect possess-
ed of ample means and facilities for the entertainment of distinguished
strangers ; and the neighboring clergy, as well as those more distant
and in adjoining States, have added their testimony to the freedom
and grace with which they were made participants of the bounties of
his hospitable mansion.

464 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

In addition to his settlement and salary which have been noticed^
as also his father's bequest of two hundred pounds in money, and
other distinguished privileges, in 1670-1 he came in possession of
lands in Dorchester, which were still his at the time of his decease
and sold by his executor, as will be further noticed. He often visited
the " Bay," as it is designated, and his estates there. He was enti-
tled to one-fourth part of Newbury farm after the decease of his
mother in 1670, and his name occurs in the quadripartite partition,
called Glover's agreement (described on page 71), which was made
and signed by them in 1680. An orchard on a portion of that estate
bears the name of " Pelatiah's Orchard."

In a lease dated Nov. 1, 1682, and signed by Eev. Pelatiah Glover?
with Hannah his wife, he confirms, for two hundred pounds current
money of New England, to Thomas Vose all his fourth part of the
farm in Milton with a tenement thereon, known as the Newbury farm ;
together with one-fourth part of all his division of land in Milton which
was devised to him by his father, John Glover ; it being the rever-
sion of Mrs. Anna Glover's right of dower, which at her decease in
1670-1 was divided, according to the will of her late husband, among
her four sons, viz. : Mr. Habackuk Glover, Mr. Nathaniel Glover, Mr.
John Glover, and Mr. Pelatiah Glover. Bounded in a deed of sale
to Robert Vose from Mrs. Anna Glover and her four sons above
named, and bearing date 13th July, 1654 (see page 65). Signed,
sealed and delivered in presence of Habackuk Glover, and Nathaniel
Glover, Sen,

Nov. 1, 1682, the same day, witnesses an obligation or bond from
Thomas Vose, of Milton, to Rev. Pelatiah Glover, wherein the former
" agrees to pay Mr. Pelatiah Glover, clergyman, of Springfield, four
hundred pounds and restore to him the fourth part of Newbury farm,
or pay to him two hundred pounds within the year."

Will of Rev. Pelatiah Glover, made March 11, 1691-2.

From Probate Records for the County of Hampshire.

I Pelatiah Glover of Springfield, in the County of Hampshire and
Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Clergyman), being weak in body,
but blessed be God of sound mind and understanding- : to the end I
may settle peace among my relations after my decease, and that
Righteousness may be attended with those with whom I am concerned,
I do make, ordain and constitute this my last Will and Testament, in
manner and form following. Imprimis —

PELATIAH GLOVER. * 465

I give my soul into the arms of a tender hearted heavenly Father,
trusting only in the Merits and Redemption of Jesus Christ for life
and salvation, yielding my body to a comely and decent burial accord-
ing to the discretion of friends or executors. And for the outward
estate with which the Lord hath graciously blessed me, I do dispose
of that as folio weth.

And first to my son Pelatiah Glover I give and bequeathe all my
Housing and lands in Springfield of what sort, nature or quality so-
ever, both that which was Mr. Moxon's, stated me and given me by the
Town of Springfield upon my settling among them as their Minister,
which having done both of right belong to me, as also all other quan-
tities or parcels of land whatsoever I am possessed of in Springfield,
whether by purchase, grant from the Town or otherwise, all to be,
and belong 'to my said son Pelatiah Glover and to his heirs forever.

As also I give to my son Pelatiah all my cattle of whatsoever kind
with all the implements of husbandry and military implements what-
soever.

Item. I give and bequeathe to my daughter Mary Glover seventy
pounds in money, which is in the hands of Richard Burke, pay able by
obligation from him to my heirs and assigns which sum I now assign
to my daughter Mary. Moreover I give to my daughter Mary what
flax I have and the wool of my sheep and all my household stufF, ex-
cepting one piece of Plate, viz., the standing silver cup and the bed I
lye on, with the furniture to it whatsoever ; and likewise that bed
which Crowfoot* had, and lay on, as also all my books, all which
before mentioned and excepted I give unto my son Pelatiah : Only two
books, viz, Mr. Shepard's Works, I give unto my daughter Mary.

My Lands in the Bay of New England I order to be sold for the
payment of all just debts of my sons Samuel and Pelatiah, by such as
I herein appoint and confide in for that end, viz. my brother Habackuk
Glover and Mr. Peter Sargent, whom I request that oflSce of love and
service from, unless my said son Pelatiah by the help and assistance
of his Uncles shall be able to redeem said land from what I now ap-
point it for the payment of just debts. In that case I then give said
land also to my son Pelatiah, or however and whatever remainder of
it is, or surplusage in money may or shall be, I give that to Pelatiah.

And for what money I have lodged in Boston, or is due to me there,
after all my just debts and funeral expenses are paid, I give it between
my son and daughter, I say to be equally divided between Pelatiah
and Mary.

Further as to what other debts are due to me, by arrears of accounts.
Rents, Rates, or any other lawful wages, I hereby give the same to
my son Pelatiah, whom I hereby make and constitute my sole execu-
tor : and expect his faithful attendance in performing of this which I
hereby declare to be my last Will and Testament ; revoking and
making void and null any former Will whatsover by me intended.
Adding further that if in law any dispute arise referring to anything
herein mentioned and declared, I direct my son Pelatiah to take the
advice and direction of my Overseers Mr. Habackuk Glover and Mr.
Peter Sargent aforesaid, and to act thereby for the continuance of
peace and love accordingly.

died there, July 24, 1689, in his 28th year, and was buried in the
ancient burial ground in that town. It appears, from what is found
recorded of him, that he owned an estate and had fixed his abode in
Suffield, Conn. There is no evidence that he was ever married or
had children, and by his decease may be ranked among the lines
which have become extinct. His father, Rev. Pelatiah Glover, was

(3) PELATIAH GLOVER, the third son of Rev. Pelatlah and
Hannah (Cullick) Glover, was born in Springfield, Jan. 27, 1665-6,
and died there, Aug. 22, 1737, in his 72d year.

He was an extensive landholder, and ranked with the wealthy
landed class of his time. He was principal legatee to the will of
his father, and also sole executor. He inherited with his lands the
prefix of Mr., and was thus designated on records and notices of
him. The first notice of him on the Probate Records is in 1691
when he presented the inventory of his deceased brother Samuel's
estate. In 1692 he was called to settle the estate of his father. In
1699, Feb. 14, he sold, by the following deed, his lands in the Bay
of New England to his cousins Nathaniel Glover, Sen., and William
Rawson, to be possessed by them in equal halves. (See page 182.)
It is copied from the original document, which is written on parch-
ment, and is now (1866) in a good state of preservation.

Mr. Pelatiah Glover was married Jan. 7, 1686, to Hannah Parsons,
of Northampton, County of Old Hampshire; born there in 1663,
and died in Springfield, April 1, 1739, aged 76 years. She was the
daughter of Joseph and Mary (Bliss) Parsons, who were married in
Northampton, Nov. 26, 1646. Her father, it is related, with a
younger brother, Benjamin Parsons, were brought by their parents
to New England at a very early age, from Torrington, a town in the
northwest part of the County of Devonshire, England. (It is sup-
posed they came with Mr. Pyncheon.) He lived first in Springfield
— was witness to a deed there, in 1636, from the Indians to Mr.

Pyncheon. He removed to Northampton after 1655, and lived there
until 1679, when he removed back to Springfield, where he died, Oct.
9, 1683. He was elected to serve in several town offices, which he
filled with great acceptance to the inhabitants ; was Cornet to the
Horse Company there, and is said to have been one of the richest
men in Springfield at the time of his decease. Freeman in 1669.

Her mother, Mary Bliss, was the daughter of Thomas and Marga-
ret Bliss, and was born in England. She was brought to New
England by her parents, with four of her brothers and sisters, and
died in Northampton, Mass., Jan. 29, 1712.*

In addition to his inherited estate, Pelatiah Glover was the owner
of large tracts of land by purchase. In 1696 he bought of Jonathan
Ashley and Sarah his wife, " of the Town of Hartford in Connecticut
in New England," several tracts of land in Springfield, for £165.

* Thomas Bliss, the grandfather of Hannah Parsons, hy her mother's lineage, was an
early but not an original settler of New England. The time of his an-ival here is not cer-
tainly known, but it appears that his first residence was at Braintree (now Quincy), in that
part of the town called the " Mount," probably Merry Mount — Mount Wollaston. He is
first mentioned in Connecticut in 1639 or 1640. The date of his death has not been ascer-
tamed, but it is known that he died in Hartford, Ct. He had a wife Margaret, who sur-
vived him and removed to Springfield after his decease, taking with her all her children
except Thomas and Anne. They had in all ten children ; five they brought over with them,
and five more were bom to them after their emigration. Mrs. Margaret Bliss purchased a
tract of land in Springfield, as is stated by her descendants, one mile square, situated in
the south part of the town, on what is now Main street, and bordering on the Connecticut
River. Her descendants are numerous in that part of the town (which has become a citj'),
and of high respectaliility ; they have built houses, and laid out streets on the Manor Tract,
one of which, leading from Main street to the river, bears her name, " Margaret street," and
another " Bliss street," on which is the South Congregational Church. There are still a few
of the ancient houses remaining, two or three of which look as if they might have been built
by her immediate descendants. Mrs. Margaret Bliss died in Springfield, Aug. 28, 1684, and
was buried there. It has l)een said of her that she was a lady of superior abilities, great
resolution and uncommon enterprise.

PELATIAH GLOVER. 475

In 1715 is recorded a deed from Benjamin Braman, to Pelatiah
Glover, of Springfield, of several other tracts of land. He was al-
lotted lands in Brimfield and Plainfield, in the western part of Mas-
sachusetts.

In 1717 he conveyed, by deed of gift, to his third son John Glover,
" four acres of land called a Homestead, situated at the Northerly
end of the Town of Springfield, Plot street, and on the East side of
the Great River, as an absolute estate of inheritance." Deed dated
July 3, 1717, and signed by Pelatiah Glover and Hannah Glover.

In 1724 he conveyed a tract of land to his eldest son, Pelatiah
Glover, Jr.

In 1726, Dec. 24, is recorded a deed of gift from Pelatiah Glover,
Sen., to his four sons, viz. : Pelatiah Glover, Jr., his eldest son ;
Thomas Glover, his second son ; John Glover, his third son ; and
Samuel Glover, his fourth son, by which he conveys to them all his
lands in Springfield, to be entered upon after his decease.

In 1728, Dec. 10, a deed of gift was given by Pelatiah Glover,
Sen., to his son Thomas Glover — reference being made to deed bear-
ing date Dec. 24, 1726, as above.

In 1736, one year before his death, is recorded another deed of
gift to his fourth son, Samuel Glover, in which the income of this
estate or tract is reserved until after the decease of himself and his
wife Hannah.

Thus it will be seen that he died intestate, and that his estate and
lands were mostly conveyed to his sons, from time to time, previous
to his decease.

tels, Rights and Credits of Pelatiah Glover, late of Springfield, in the

(5) MARY GLOVER, the second and youngest daughter of Rev.
Pelatiah and Hannah (Cullick) Glover, was born in Springfield,
April 17, 1672, and died in Hartford, Conn., Aug. 19, 1727, in her
55th year. She and her elder brother Pelatiah were the only child-
ren who survived the venerable Springfield pastor. She was provided
for in her father's will. (See pp. 465, 466.)

She was married, Nov. 7, 1693, to John Haynes^ Esq., o^f Hart-
ford, Ct., and went there to reside. She was, we are informed, an
elegant and accomplished woman, and eminently fitted, both by birth
and education, to fill with dignity and grace the exalted station which
she attained by marriage. Although she had four children, she has
left few descendants, and those of other names.

John Haynes, Esq.,* tlie husband of Mra.f Mary Glover, was
born in Hartford, Conn., in 1669, and died there, Nov, 27, 1713,
aged 44 years, leaving a widow (and, it is said, a son and a daugh-
ter, viz., Joseph and Mary). He was the eldest son of Rev. Joseph
and Sarah (Lord) Hayncs. His father was the third pastor of the
first Church in Hartford, and a graduate of Harvard College in
1658; died May 24,1679, in Hartford. His mother was Sarah
Lord, daughter of Richard t and Sarah Lord, and granddaughter of
Thomas and Dorothy Lord, who were among the early settlers of the
Connecticut Colony. John Haynes, their son, was sent to Cambridge
to be educated, and graduated there in the class of 1689. He was
intended for the ministry, and studied divinity with his father at
Hartford. After the decease of the Rev. Pelatiah Glover at Spring-
field, he was called to labor with that Church, and subsequently to

* Gov. Winthrop states, in Ms journal, that Mr. John Haynes, a gentleman of great estate,
came to New England in the Griffin, a ship of 200 tons burthen, commanded by Capt. Gallop.

" May 14, 163 i. The Court chose a New Governor, viz. Thomas Dudley, Esq., Mr. Ludlow
Deputy, and Mr. John Haynes Assistant. The 3 mo. 6 day, 1634, a General Court was held
at Newtown (Cambridge), when Mr. John Hayncs was chosen Governor ; R. Bellingham,
Deputy Governor ; Mr. Hough and Mr. Dummer, Assistants." His residence was at Cam-
bridge.

" 3'' : 2 : 1635. Mr. Haynes, one of our Magistrates, removed with his family to Connecti-
cut." The first year after his removal there, it is stated, he became father of the new Colony
of Connecticut.

t She was so styled before marriage, on all records, in that day of titles and ranks.

+ Richard Lord was born in England, about 1611, and probably married there about
1635. He came to New England with his parents and wife Sarah, and died at New Lon-
don, Ct., May 17, 1662, aged 51 years. He left three children, of whom was Sarah, who
married Rev. Joseph Haynes. Mrs. Sarah Haynes died Nov. 15, 1705, aged 67 years.
They had three children, of whom was Judge John Haynes, the husband of Mary Glover.
His sister, Sarah Haynes, married Rev. James Pierrepont. Sarah Peirrepont, daughter of
Rev. James and Sarah (Haynes) PieiTcpont, and niece of Judge Haynes, married the Rev.
Jonathan Edwards, of TSTorthampton, and was the mother of the Hon. Pierrepont Edwards
(alias Major Sanford), born April 3, 1750, who married for his first wife Frances Ogden, the
second daughter of Moses Ogden, of Elizabethto\vn, New Jersey, in 1679, and had several
children. Among her children was Pierrepont, born in 1784, and whom it has been stated
married a Deborah Glover, but of what family or lineage has not been ascertained. It is
scarcely possible that she could have been a descendant of the Rev. Pelatiah Glover, yet
there are slight gleams of evidence that she may have been a descendant by his grandson
John Glover, although there is no direct evidence that he ever had any posterity. He died
in 1733, intestate, at the age of 42 years. Pelatiah Glover, his father, settled his estate, and
nothing appears on the Probate records (as will be seen) of any wife or children ; still the
conjecture may be right. Another informant states that Deborah Glover was the second
wife of the Hon. Pierrepont Edwards, and that after the decease of his first wife, Mrs. .
Frances (Ogden) Edwards, who died at New Haven, July 7, 1800, he removed to Bridge-
port, Conn., married in his old age his housekeeper, who was Deborah Glover, and died
there April 5, 1826, aged 76 years. It is hoped the above accounts may lead to some elu-
cidation of the origin of Deborah Glover, whom it seems married either a grandnephcw or
a more remote relative of the Hon. John and Mary (Glover) Hayncs.

fill the vacancy caused by the death of their former pastor. He
preached there a short time with eminent success, but declined to
settle among them as their minister. He returned to Hartford, and
commenced the study of law. He is said to have maintained an
honorable position in the colony, as a Lawyer, Judge Advocate,
Judge of the Superior Court, and was an assistant and council for
the Governor from 1708 until he died, a period of five years. His
line of ancestry was highly distinguished — being the son of a minis-
ter of Wethersfield and Hartford, and grandson of the first Gover-
nor of the Colony of Connecticut, who in 1634 was Governor of
Massachusetts.

[^Fourth Generation.']

(6) PELATIAH GLOVER, the eldest son of Mr. Pelatiah and
Hannah (Parsons) Glover, and the third in the regular line of descent
bearing the name, was born in Springfield, Aug. 27, 1687, and died
there, Jan. 25, 1754, in his 67th year. He possessed a competent
landed estate of inheritance, and made accessions to it by purchase.

He was, it is supposed, thrice married, as there are three marriages
and intentions recorded of him — two of them in an almost incredi'
bly short space of time. Springfield Records are as follows : " Mr.
Pelatiah Glover and Mary "Wright, of the Elbows* so called, were
marrifed July 4, 1735." They lived probably at or near the Elbows,
as the death of Mary does not appear on the Springfield Records. He
was published, according to the record of intentions, " to Martha
Ould, widow, entered Dec. 14, 1748." And, third, the banns of
matrimony were entered by Mr. Pelatiah Glover and the widow
Hannah Burt, of Hartford, Ct., March 31, 1749, and notification
posted April 1, 1749. To this last wife he was married May 1,
1749 ; and he lived with her five years, he dying in 1754, as will be
seen by his will and other evidence. There is no record to be found
of any children by any of the wives, and no proof that he ever had
any. Accordingly this line appears, from all that has been gathered,
to be extinct.

Dec. 3, 1740, there is recorded a quit-claim deed from Pelatiah

* Elbows. — The line marked by the Chicopee River through the town of Tahncr early
bestowed upon that tract the name of the Elbows. It was settled as early as 1727, and after-
wards called Palmer. — Holland's " Western Massachusetts."

Glover to lii3 brother Samuel Glover, of all his lands in Springfield
and Brimfield, which said lands were given him by his honored father,

April 4, 1740.

The name of Hannah Burt before her first marriage has not been
ascertained. She appears to have been thrice married: first, to

Burt; second, to Pelatiah Glover, in 1749,- and, third, about

one year after Mr. Glover's decease, to Noah Brooks, of Springfield,
June 11, 1755. There appears to have been no other Hannah Glover
at that time to whom the record of this last marriage could relate.

He purchased, under date of May 30, 1755, other lands in Spring-
field ; consideration, twenty-seven pounds.

He made the following disposal of his remaining estate, under
date of April 6,1772: "Thomas Glover, of Wilbraham, in the
County of Hampshire, in New England, one of the four sons of Mr.
Pelatiah Glover, of Springfield," conveys to John Glover, of Wilbra-
ham, his nephew, son of his brother Samuel Glover, for two thousand
pounds, all his lands in Springfield — his home lot, with all the build-
ings thereon standing — and all his moveable estate, outdoor and
indoor, of wliatever name, nature or kind, the same to be the pro-
perty of the said John Glover at his decease, with all his lands in
Wilbraham and elsewhere ; reserving to himself, during his natural
life, the use and income of the whole of said described premises.
Signed by himself; and acknowledged, in person, Nov. 3, 1773. He
lived three years after this date, and his estate is known to have de-
scended to John Glover his nephew.

(8) JOHN GLOVER, the third son of Mr. Pelatiah and Hannah
(Parsons) Glover, was born in Springfield, Sept. 12, 1690, and died
there, March 27, 1733, aged 42 years. It is not known that he was
ever married. He was a landholder by inheritance and by deeds of
purchase.

From his father, in 1717, he received by deed of gift a home lot
of four acres of land for his homestead " as an absolute estate of in-
heritance." It was situated on the east side of the Great River, at
the northerly end of the town of Springfield, on Plot street.

In 1719 he purchased of Henry Wright the tenth part of "a saw
mill which now standeth, and is at the place commonly called Sconon-
gonuck, on the River commonly called Chicopy River." It appears
that ho occupied his homestead and attended to his farm and mill
about fourteen years. He may have had a wife and children, but
nothing further has been gathered of him, and nothing is known with

certainty of any descendants.* He died intestate, and administration
was committed to his father, as appears in the following record :

Power of Administration of the Goods, Chattels, Rights and Credits
of all and singular of the estate of John Glover, late of Springfield,
Dec. intestate, Husbandman, was granted to Mr. Pelatiah Glover of
said Springfield, the father of said deceased, and bonds taken for his

(9) HANNAH GLOVER, the eldest daughter of Mr. Pelatiah
and Hannah (Parsons) Glover, was born in Springfield, Dec. 27,
1693, and died in Westfield.

She was married, Nov. 12, 1735, to John Ashley, son of Robert
and Hannahf (Glover) Ashley, of New Haven, who removed to
Springfield in 1663, and thence to Westfield. John Ashley, their
son, was born in Westfield, June 27, 1669, and died there, April 17,
1759, in his 90th year. By inheritance Hannah Glover was a land-
holder. In 1737, after the decease of her father, she, with her hus-
band John Ashley, Esq., both of Westfield, conveyed her rights in
certain parcels of land, to her brother Thomas Glover, of Wilbra-
ham, deed bearing date Feb. 21, 1737. It is supposed there were
no children by this marriage — none having been identified.

John Ashley was twice married. First, to Mary Dewey, Sept.
8, 1692, at the age of 23 years. They had five children — viz., Lydia,
John, Moses, Ebenezer and Roger. Mrs. Mary Ashley died March 1,
1735; and Nov.* 12, of the same year, he married Hannah Glover
for his second wife. He was an extensive landholder, and lived on
the estate of his inheritance.

Mr. Pelatiah and Hannah (Parsons) Glover, was born in Springfield,
July 9, 1702, and died there, Aug. 31, 1752, aged 50 years.

She was married, May 3, 1747, to Jonathan Mills, Esq., of Brook-
field. He was the son of Capt. Mills, who formerly lived in Quincy,
and was born there about 1702 ; graduated at Harvard College in
the class of 1723, and died in Brookfield, in 1773, aged 71 years.

(13) SAMUEL GLOVER, the fifth son of Mr. Pelatiah and
Hannah (Parsons) Glover, was born in Springfield, Dec. 16, 1706,
and died there — date of death not ascertained.

He was a landholder, by inheritance and by purchase. In 1726
he received a portion of land from his father (see deed of Pelatiah
Glover to his four sons on page 475); also other lands, in 1736,
from his father, by deed of gift, about one year previous to his de-
cease. In 1740, three years after the decease of Mr. Pelatiah Glover,
he received by quit claim, from John Ashley and Hannah his wife
(alias Hannah Glover in her right), and Benjamin Horton and Mary
Horton (" the said Mary being the daughter of Mr. Pelatiah Glover,
late of Springfield, Gentleman, deceased") in her right, several tracts
of land in Springfield, said lands being their inheritance from the
estate of their honored father the said Mr. Pelatiah Glover ; also
from his sister Abigail Glover, spinster, the same, and at the same
time — date of deeds April 4 and April 7, 1740. In 1755, the 30th
day of May, he confirmed, for twenty-seven pounds, a portion of land
to his brother Tliomas Glover, of Wilbraham.

In December, 1765, there appears a conveyance from Capt. Samuel
Day and his wife to Samuel Glover, of Springfield ; and at the same
time Thomas Day and wife, of Colchester, Conn., convey to Samuel
Glover a tract of land ; which lands have been passed and owned
principally in the male line.

He was married, Dec. 14, 1749, at the age of 43 years, to Joyce

(Newcomb) Jones, widow of Jones, of Springfield. She was

daughter of Joseph and Joyce (Butler) Newcomb, of Edgartown,
Martha's Vineyard, Mass.; born there about 1712, and died in

Springfield, Oct. 22, 1774. She was twice married. First to

Jones, of Springfield, and was residing there in 1749, after his death,
and at the time of her marriage with Samuel Glover. Her father,
Joseph Newcomb, was the son of Andrew and Anna (Bayze) New-

comb, who were married there in 1680, and died between 1701 and
1710. Her mother, Joyce Butler, was a daughter of Capt. John
Butler, of Edgartown, one of the early settlers of Dorchester, a son
of Nicholas Butler, and came with his parents to New England in
1637. " Nicholas Butler came from Eastwell, in Kent, and was styled
yeoman. He embarked with his wife, three children and five ser-
vants, at Sandwich (Eng.), in the Hercules, in June, 1637; joined the
Church after his arrival, and was made freeman March 14, 1638-39.
He had a grant of land at Dorchester Neck in 1637, and in 1647
was proprietor in the Great Lots. The brook which crosses Cottage
street was named from him. His wife's name was Joyce. In 1651
he deputed his son John his attorney, and went to Martha's Vineyard,
where he died, leaving children. He sold his property in Dorchester,
in 1052, to William Ware. He owned land on Duncan's, now Spurr's
Hill or Codman Hill." {Hist, of Dor., page 109.) From other
sources it has been gathered that he was a man of high respectability
and distinction, and had the prefix of Mr., which descended to his
sons — viz., John, the grandfather of Mrs. Glover ; and Henry, who
became a teacher in Dorchester as early as 1648, and of whom it is
written that he had previously received the degree of M.A. from the
Cambridge University in England. He married, after his arrival
here, Anne, a daughter, it is believed, of John Holman, of Dorchester,
and was employed in preaching and teaching until the year 1652, at
which time he returned to England and settled in the ministry — first
at Yeovil, in Somersetshire, and subsequently at Withamfrary, about
five miles from Frome, where he died, April 24, 1696, aged 72 years.

Mrs. Mary (Glover-Haynes) Lord married a second time, April 6,
1727, Capt. Rosewell Saltonstall, with whom she lived eleven years.
He was the eldest son of Gov. Gurdon Saltonstall, by Elizabeth
Rosewell his second wife, and was born in New London, Conn., Jan.
19,1701-2; graduated at Harvard College in the class of 1720;
married, in 1727, and settled in Brandford, Conn., on an estate
which he inherited from his maternal grandfather, William Rosewell.
On the west side of this estate is the beautiful Lake Saltonstall, situ-
ated in the town of Brandford, and was doubtless named in honor
of him. He is described as a man of irreproachable Christian cha-
racter, amiable in all the relations of life, and was held in high esti-
mation both in New London, his native city, and at Brandford, where
he went to reside. He died at New London, Oct. 1, 1738, while
there on a visit to his relatives, in his 37th year. They had four
children, born in Brandford :

23. Rosewell, b. Aug. 31, 1728 ; grad. Yale Coll. 1751 ; died unm.

at Brandford, Ct., Jan. 25, 1788, aged 60 years 6 mos. After
leaving college he is said to have become imbecile, and a

Gov. Gurdon Saltonstall, the father of Capt. Rosewell Saltonstall,
was born at Haverhill, Mass., in 1666; H. C. 1684; and died in
New London, very suddenly, of apoplexy, Sept. 20, 1724, aged about
58 years. He was buried with civil and military honors. His re-

PELATIAH GLOVEE. 489

mains were deposited in a tomb which he had caused to be excavated
in the burial yard for himself and family, and in which his second
wife and her infant child had been previously laid. He was intend-
ed for a minister of the gospel, and studied divinity after leaving
college. In May, 1688, he received a unanimous call to settle in
New London, Ct. He accepted, and was ordained there, Nov. 19,
1691. For a time he preached successfully.

" He is said to have been an advocate of vigorous ecclesiastical
authority ; always striving to exalt the ministerial office, to maintain
its dignity, and to enlarge the powers of ecclesiastical bodies, which
gave him unbounded popularity among his clerical brethren. Such
were his views of law and order, both in Church and State, and of
the discipline to be employed in maintaining them, and such his
regard for official dignity and privilege, that he acquired the reputa-
tion of being severe and imperious, and of seeking self aggrandize-
ment."

Nov. 27, 1707, on the death of Gov. Winthrop, Mr. Saltonstall
was elected his successor, and took the oath of office as Governor of
Connecticut on Jan. 1, 1708. He was very popular as a Governor,
and was successively elected to that office, and continued in it until
his decease, a period of 16 years.

He was thrice married, and had in all ten children — five by his
first, and five by his second wife. By his first wife, Jerusha Richards,
he had no surviving male heir ; by his second, Elizabeth Rosewell, he
had four sons, three of whom survived him. In his will he bequeath-
ed the Rosewell estate in Brandford to his eldest son Rosewell, who
settled there ; also his manor house and estate in Killingly, near
Pontefraet, in Yorkshire, England. To his son Nathaniel Salton-
stall, his farm in Cunchencaug (Durham). To his son Gurdon, his
lands at New London ; to his three daughters by his first wife, his
estate at Wethersficld, that was their mother's, and also provides
amply for his daughter Katharine by wife Elizabeth Rosewell. He
built a beautiful mansion on the borders of Lake Saltonstall, in
Brandford, which, it is said, was decorated with a variety of antique
ornaments, and the walls adorned with grotesque pictures, Spanish
leather tapestry, &c. The tablet that surrounds his tomb is engraved
with his coat of arms, and the following inscription appears on it :
" Here.lyeth y« body of y« Hon. Gurdon Saltonstall, Esq., Governor
of Connecticut, who died Sept. 20, 1724, in the 59th year of his

age." He derived his name Gurdou from his mother's family. His
third wife survived him, and died in Boston, Mass. She was a daugh-
ter of William and Mary (Lawrence) Whittingham, and widow of
William Clark, of Boston.

Madam Saltonstall, the widow of Capt. Rosewell. Saltonstall, was
married to her third husband, Thomas Clap, D.D., President of Yale
College, Feb. 5, 1741. There were no children by this marriage.
He was the son of Deacon Stephen Clap, of Scituate, who with his father
Thomas Clap came from England to NewEngland in the early settlement
of the Colony, previous to 1639, and settled in Scituate about 1640.
President Clap was born at Scituate, June 26, 1703, and died there,
Jan. 7, 1767, in his 64th year, while on a visit to his native town.
He was prepared for college by Rev. Mr. Eels, of Scituate, gradu-
ated at Harvard College in 1722, and gave himself to the ministry
of the gospel. In 1726 he received a unanimous call from the Church
at Windham, Ct., and after preaching there to great acceptance, was
ordained as their minister and teacher the same year. He continued
in the ministry fourteen years, and in 1739 was elected to fill the
office of President of Yale College, at New Haven, and in 1740 ac-
cepted the high trust. It is said of him that he became one of the
most distinguished men of his time for talents and learning, and was
an honor to the office he was called to fill, continuing in the Presi-
dential chair until 1764, a period of twenty-four years, when he ten-
dered his resignation, with the intention of retiring to private life.
He subsequently went to visit his relatives and friends at Scituate,
where he died, as already stated. His wife survived him about one
year. President Stiles, his second successor, ranks him among the
first men of the age for learning, and as a philosopher equalled by
no person in America, " except the most learned Professor Winthrop."
He was succeeded in the office of President of Yale College by the
Rev. Naphthali Daggett. Other writers represent him as a Divine of
distinguished merit, and highly learned in all the various branches of
knowledge, particularly mathematics, astronomy, natural and moral
philosophy, history, the civil and canon law ; as an earnest and power-
ful preacher, of exemplary piety, and of remarkable industry and inge-
nuity. He constructed the first Orrery or Planetarium made in Amer-
ica. Among his published works and manuscripts are the following :
" A brief History of Yale College," " A brief History and Vindica-
tion of the Doctrines established in the Churches in New England,"

PELATIAH GLOVEK. 491

"Two Sermons," and "Upon the Nature and Motions of the Meteors
which are above the Atmosphere." He had prepared materials for
the history of Connecticut, which collection was carried off by Gen.
Try on, in his expedition against New Haven.

His wife was a woman distinguished for her exalted worth and
piety. Her funeral was attended by the Rev. Chauncy Whittlesey,
pastor of the first Church in New Haven ; and a discourse preached
on the occasion of her death, which was printed in 1769 by Thomas
and Samuel Green, together with a biographical sketch of her life.

close of the second term entered the academy at Monson, and a few
months after left there to attend the academy at Westfield, where he
continued during two terms. He then removed to the town of Suf-
field, in Connecticut, where he continued for one year, to attend a
private school under the instruction of the Rev. Ebenezer Gay, the
officiating clergyman of that town. In the spring of 1817 he com-
menced teaching by taking charge of a grammar school in Somer-
ville, the shire town of Somerset County, New Jersey. He closed
his engagement in Somerville after one year, returned to his native
town, and in the spring of 1818 commenced the study of law, in the
office of William Knight, a counsellor at law and practising attorney
in that town, and continued his reading one year. Subsequently, in
1819, he went to Palmer, and prosecuted his law studies in the office
and under the instruction of James Stcbbins, Esq., and at the same
time engaged again in teaching a grammar school in that village.

PELATIAH GLOVER. 495

Having completed liis law studies, and not finding them congenial to
his taste, he suspended study for a short time, before deciding upon
any other profession. In the autumn of 1822, he travelled South,
and visited a brother at Natchez, Mississippi, arriving there in the
winter of 1822. In the following spring he returned to Massachu-
setts, and having decided upon adopting the profession of medicine,
he commenced his studies at Somerville, N. J., and pursued them
there for a time. His first course of medical lectures was attended
at the Medical College of the Western District of New York, at
Fairfield. He continued his medical studies, after the course, with
Joseph White, M.D., Professor of Surgery in the College, and the
following winter of 1825 attended his last course of medical lectures
at Jefferson College, Philadelphia, where he graduated in medicine
and surgery in the spring of 1826.

He commenced the practice of his profession in the summer of
1826, at Brentsville, the shire town of Prince William County, in
Virginia. An epidemic disease prevailed through that section of the
county during the succeeding autumn, which afforded an opportunity
to test his medical skill, and he soon found himself engaged in an ex-
tensive and very laborious practice, which proved too much for hig
physical abilities, and near the close of the epidemic he was himself
attacked with the disease. This prostrated him for a time, and so
impaired his health as to render him unable to endure the hardships
of a country physician, and he was compelled to abandon the further
practice of his profession in that locality.

At this crisis he received an invitation from a medical friend to
join him in opening and establishing a drug store at Harper's Ferry,
in Virginia. He acceded to the proposition, and they commenced
business there in the spring of 1827 ; but not having fully recovered
from the debilitating effects of his recent sickness, he found himself
unable to attend to the business, and continued there but a short time.
He disposed of his interest, and returned to his father's in Wilbra-
ham, in the autumn of 1827.

In the spring of 1828, he took up his residence in the City of New
York, commencing the practice of his profession there, and continued
it until the year 1851, a period of twenty-three years, with only
two interruptions. In the winter of 1839, after ten years of unin-
terrupted practice, his health requiring a change from the confinement
and unremitting attention incumbent on its practical duties, he left

the city on an excursion to the Southern States. He passed one
month in the City of Charleston, S. C. ; thence he went to Key West,
Florida ; thence to Havana, returning through New Orleans, visiting
Texas, and returning to New York through New Orleans, St. Louis,
Cincinnati, Wheeling and Baltimore. He entered again on his prac-
tice with recruited health and with renewed vigor, and continued it
until the year 1849, ten years longer. In the autumn of that year
he visited California, passed the winter, and returned again to New
York in the spring of 1850, resuming his practice and business, and
continued it until the spring of 1853. The following autumn he
visited England, for the purpose of making inquiries in relation to
the Glover genealogy and the English branches of the name, but
was prevented from pursuing tlie subject as extensively as he desired,
on account of a severe illness which he endured on his passage out.
He however was enabled, by perseverance, to accomplish something,
and to make some valuable additions to the collections of the Glover
history. On arriving at Liverpool, he proceeded by railway to Ches-
ter, a distance of about eighteen miles. He there examined many
old wills and ancient documents. He saw and examined the will of
Mr. Thcmas Glover, which has been printed on page 32 ; and adds
his testimony to the imperfect condition in which it is now found.
He describes it as being written on parchment, and much of it nearly
destroyed by damp and mould. As there had been a copy taken
previous, and brought here in 1 848, it was unnecessary for hrm to
obtain another, and he proceeded to London, where he procured the
will of Mr. Thomas Glover, grandson of the former (see pages 90 to
95). He was compelled by illness to forego any further investiga-
tions, or to collect any more of the Glover history in London, and
returned at once to New York.

In the year 1854 he disposed of his professional business in New
York, and removed with his family to Wilbraham, in Massachusetts.
He was warmly greeted and welcomed back to this place of his birth
and boyhood, by the citizens, who conferred on him such offices of
trust and honor as were in their power. He was chosen and served
as Town Clerk, was commissioned a Justice of the Peace, and elect-
ed to other honorary offices in the aflFairs of the town during his resi-
dence there of nearly five years. In the year 1858 he returned
again to New York, and is now residing there.

He was married, Feb. 9, 1830, to Amelia Evans, daughter of Dr.
Joseph Evans, of New York City; born there in 1808.

and brother, Francis L. Glover, from his pilgrimage on earth " to that
house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens," and as the un-
feigned afiection we entertained for him demands from us an expres-
sion of our feelings on this mournful occasion ; be it therefore

Resolved, That we deeply deplore the loss of our worthy member
and brother Francis L. Glover, and will cherish his memory in our
hearts, and revere and emulate his virtues. By his death our frater-
nity is deprived of a member zealous, true and faithful ; society, of
one who in life discharged with uprightness and fidelity his trust as a
man.

Besolved, That the moral rectitude which characterized him in the
several relations of life, and his unwearied performance of duties,
were worthy tokens of his membership. Stricken in the prime of
life, with an incurable disease, with the icy hand of death heavily
pressing upon him, he bore his afflictions v/ith christian fortitude, sus-
tained by the high principles inculcated by the order of which he was
a member.

Besolved, That we deeply deplore, and sincerely lament the afflic-
tion thus sent to the fond mother and other relatives of our late
brother, and offer them our sympathy and condolence on the irrepara-
ble loss they have sustained.

Besolved, That as a testimony of regard for the memory of our late
brother, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for the space of
thirty days.

Besolved, That the Secretary be requested to send a copy of these
resolutions to the family of the deceased.

He was never married. He graduated at the Medical Department
of the University of the City of New York, in 1851, but the profes-
sion of medicine not being congenial to his taste and inclinations;
he commenced the study of law, and acquired a knowledge of that
profession very rapidly. In 1852 he commenced the practice of his
profession as counsellor at law in an office in Wall street. He very
soon became known to the professional brethren, was elected as an
attorney to the Corporation, and removed to the City Hall. He con-

HENRY GLOVER AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

HENRY GLOVER, the tliird son of Thomas and Margery (Deane)
Glover (p. 32), was born at Rainhill Parish, in the town of Prescot,
Lancashire, England, in 1603; baptized at the Parish Church, Feb.
15, 1603, and came to New England about 1640, as it is supposed^
and settled in Dedham. He died in Medficld (a part of the original
town of Dedham), in 1655. He had a wife Abigail, whom, it is sup-
posed, came over with him, and likewise children. He was next
brother to John, whose history has been given in the First Part of this
work, and was three years his junior. Much less is known of his
life and character — of his occupation, and other circumstances con-
nected with his residence here, than has been obtained of his
elder brother. His name does not appear as frequently on any
of the public records of the Colony of New England. It has not
been ascertained in what ship he came, or with what emigration he
was connected ; but it appears highly probable that he came with the
Dedham Company. By his father's will he was to receive the sum of
£150 in money; and, the mention of him in that document, and
the dates of his birth and baptism, are all that have been gathered of
his English life. After he came to New England, in 1642, he was
admitted townsman in Dedham. He is recorded as a grantee of
land from 1642 to 1652, in six different grants from the Dedham
proprietors. In 1 649 a company was formed for commencing a set-
tlement at Bagashaw, now Medfield, composed of 43 persons, as
stated by Mr. Mann in his Annals of Dedham, but only nineteen
names are given, and some of those were men with whom Henry
Glover was afterwards intimately associated in his business relations ;
viz., Ralph Wheclock, Thomas Wiglit and Robert Hinsdale. By
other accounts we learn that Medficld was incorporated in 1 649, and
became a separate town from Dedham, and it is supposable that Mr.
Glover went there to reside at that time, and that his grants of land
were located in that precinct. Six years after this settlement, in
1655, the notice of his death appears on the Probate Records for

Sum total, £88 05 00 0.

Of his widow Abigail nothing further has been gathered. Whether
she married a second time, or died the widow of Henry Glover, is
unknown. No record of any Abigail Glover has been found at that
period, when, if living here, she would most probably be in some
New England town — and nothing has been gathered on which to rest
a supposition that she returned, after Mr. Glover's death, to England ;
yet it is not unreasonable to suppose that she did return, and remain
there to the close of her life. Of his children we can only gather
an account of a son Henry, who had a wife Hannah. They were in
Boston in 1660 to 1665, and had a son Thomas, born there in 1663 ;
and a daughter Hannah, born in 1665. Subsequently they removed
to Milton, and had several more children. His history, and that of
his descendants, forms the Second Part of these Memorials.

There was a John and Mary Glover living in Boston (on the Com-
mon, as their estate has been described) in 1677, whose daughter
Hannah married Aaron Beard, of Boston, and came in possession of
the estate in 1677. There is much reason to suppose that the above
named John Glover was another son of Henry, senior. Other names
of Glover have been occasionally found on record, or by tradition,
who can claim no other origin but as descendants of some other
son whose name cannot now be found.

In 1756 there is a record of names of persons who served in the
French War, among whom is a Solomon Glover — enlisted in the vol-
unteer service, Sept. 24, 1755, among the Grafton troops. On page
102, Army Records, is an entry, '■'■ Solomon Glover, deceased." It is
probable that he died some time about the last of January or in Feb-
ruary of 1756, but nothing further is known of him.

* One of the appraisers of the elder Henry Glover's estate was Ralph "VVheelock. The
following has been gathered of him : " Ralph Wheelock ; A.B. Clare Hall, Cambridge,
England, 1626 ; A.M. 1631 ; was of Dedham in New England in 1642, and was appointed
toy the Commissioners to settle small causes at Dedham. Also a Magistrate in 1642 ; and
in October, 1645, he was autlujrizcd to solemnize marriages. The marriage of John Crafts,
of Roxhmy, and Rebecca Wheelock, Avas one of his first official acts."

HENRY GLOVER. 507

[Second Generation.']

(1) HENRY GLOYER, son of Henry and Abigail Glover, was
born probably in Dedham, althoiigli no record has been found there
of his birth. He died in Milton, the Gth day of April, 1714, aged
72 years, and is buried in that town.

The accounts of hira are very meagre, there being no record of
any baptism or marriage. He lived in Boston as early as 1G60, and
appears to have continued there about five years. He had a wife
Hannah, by whom he had two children, born there, but the earliest
period at which he came to Boston has not been ascertained. In
1673-4, Feb. 5, there is an indenture by Henry Glover, of Milton,
and Hannah his wife, which conveys a piece of land in that town to
David Henshaw, " the said Hannah Glover relinquishing her right of
Dower and power of Thirds."

Five years later, June 27, 1679, Henry Glover, of Milton, sold to
Ralph Houghton fifty acres of upland on the south side of Neponset
River near Brush Hill, being half a lot formerly belonging to Major
Atherton and John Henshaw.

Henry Glover was probably a member of some Church, and his
wife Hannah was admitted to join the Church at Milton, Aug. 24,
1684, Rev. Peter Thacher, pastor. There has been nothing further
gathered of her, excepting the date of her death. She died in Mil-
ton, Sept. 20, 1720, and is buried there, in the old burying groi^nd.
Her age at death was 79 years, and she was therefore born in 1741,
The children of Henry and Hannah Glover were as follows. The
two eldest are recorded in Boston, the others in Milton. They are
ten in number, six of whom lived to the age of adults, and married:

said that he once lived in Colchester, Conn., and removed thence to

Conway; but the Town and Church Records of Colchester afford no
evidence of the fact. He owned a farm in Conway, and paid taxes
there in 1772 and previous.

He was married, in 1770, to Tabitha Beale, daughter of Seth and
Elizabeth Beale, of Weymouth ; born there, and died in Conway (Ash-
field Corner), Dec. 11, 1798, about one month after the decease of
her husband, and of the same fever.

At a Probate Court holden at Dcerfield, in the County of Hamp-
shire, April 2, 1799, letters of administration were granted on the
estate of Gamaliel Glover, of Ashfield Corner, Conway, intestate,
deceased, to Oliver Root, of Conway, and bonds taken Dec. 4, 1799 ;
rendered insolvent. The estate was sold Dec. 1, 1800.

Thus it appears that near the close of the year 1798, the family of
Gamaliel Glover was visited by a distressing sickness, by which Mr.
Glover, his wife and six of their children died within a very short
space of time. The disease was thought to be typhoid fever.

March 1, 1799, letters of guardianship were granted to Alexander
Glover, who was appointed guardian to Clarissa Glover, 18 years;
Rhoda Glover, 13 years; Rachael Glover, 11 years; and Cucinda
Glover, 9 years, minor children of Gamaliel Glover, then late of
Ashfield, deceased.

her daily life. " Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord," is inscrib-
ed on her gravestone, and in the hearts of all who knew her. Her
mother was the daughter of Seth and Elizabeth Beale, of Weymouth.
Her father, William Salisbury, was descended from William Salis-
bury, one of the early settlers of Dorchester.

A SUPPOSED BRANCH FROM HENRY GLOVER.

Theee was a John Glover living in Boston in 1659, who owned an
estate on or near the Common, and continued there until after 1677,
a period of 18 years. He had a wife Mary, and had four children
born to him who are recorded on the Boston Records. His origin
is known only by conjecture, and some slight evidence that he may

HENRY GLOVER. 547

have been auotlier son of Henry and Abigail Glover whose history
has been given, and to whom reference is made on page 506. The
time of his death or that of his wife Mary has not been ascertained,
although it is probable they died in Boston, as they tnade arrange-
ments to continue there during life in the disposal of his property,
as will appear by the document given below. Their children were
as follows :

1. Hannah, b. April 5, 1659; probably m. Aaron Beard,

2. John, b. Feb. 1, 1660 ; d. April 19, 1660,

3. Mary, b. April 16, 1662.

4. Nathaniel, b. Oct. 6, 1665 ; d. in infancy.

It will be seen that he left no male heir, and the following disposal
of his estate appears on Suffolk Records, Vol. 11, p. QQ, under date
of April 18, 1667.

This writing- testifies that we whose names are underwritten, do
witness that we heard John Glover of Boston, Tanner, living upon
the Common, say : He did freely give his housing and land that he
had in Boston to his daughter Hannah Glover, which daughter is now
upon marriage. Whereas the said daughter Hannah and the man that
is about to marry her, to have the aforesaid house and land, as
fully as their own, at the death of him the aforesaid John Glover and
his wife Mary. The said Glover and his wife to have the use of the
best part of the House and land they agree to give their said daugh-
ter, to their own use and occupation as long as they both do live.
Only while the aforesaid Glover lives, he gives leave to his aforesaid
daughter Hannah, and her husband that is likely to be, to live in one
of the rooms of the House freely and rent free, and to make use of
the land as much as the aforesaid Glover shall not make use of, for
their own family use. His daughter Hannah and her husband to keep
all the housing in good repair during their father and mother's lives ;
and to keep all the fencing firm, and at the death of the aforesaid
Glover and his wife, to have all the housing and land ; only to pay
unto Mary Glover another daughter of the aforesaid John Glover,
Twenty pounds. And what moveables is left at their father and
mother's death to be equally divided between the two sisters. Han-
nah and him that she is about to marry, to have present leave to dwell
in some part of the house and to make present use of the land, and
that free without any rent, as abovementioned. And this was agreed
fully on, by the aforesaid Glover, and his daughter Hannah and her
husband the 18"^ day of April, 16n.

Testified to by the following witnesses, viz. :

Henry Root,
William Hamilton,
Andrew Littlejohn,
Richard Harden.

marry, is Aaron Beard,

548 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

No record of this marriage of Aaron Beard and Hannah Glover
has yet been discovered ; but the record of the birth of their eldest
child has been found, and some other facts gathered in relation to
him. " Thomas, the son of Aaron Beard and Hannah his wife, was
born 23 September, 1681." Of Aaron Beard very little is known.
He was made freeman July 22, 1674. He was at that date said to
be of Pemaquid, and took the oath of fidelity in Boston. He had a
brother Thomas Beard, who resided in Boston, and died there in
1693. Administration of his estate by his son John Beard, June 13,
1693; inventory taken July 8, 1693. Aaron Beard was by occupa-
tion a fisherman, and lived mostly at sea. He died in 1695. No
administration of his estate appears on Boston Probate Records.
Letters of guardianship were granted to John Carter, of Woburn,
Middlesex County, as guardian to Thomas Beard, son of Aaron
Beard, July 18, 1695, as follows (Rec, Vol. 13, p. 314) :

"Know all men by these Presents that I Thomas Beard son of
Aaron Beard, late of Boston within the County of Suffolk in New
England, Fisherman, Deceased, being a Minor about 16 years of age,

In 1708, thirteen years after the date of the above letter, it ap-
pears that Thomas Beard was married to Hannah , and made

extract from the deed of sale, which may be found in full on Suffolk
Prob. Rec, Vol. 24, fol. 79.

THE NEW JERSEY GLOVERS.

ELIAS GLOYER, who came to the United States in 1826, and
settled in Paterson, New Jersey, states himself to have been descend-
ed from Peter Glover, of Prescot, Rainhill Parish, who is noticed on
page 37 of these Memorials as Peter (11) the youngest son of
Thomas and Margaret (Deane) Glover. The following is the ac-
count as rendered to the writer in 1861, by his grandson, Joseph
Glover, of Paterson, N. J.

Elias Glover was born in St. Helens, a village about four miles
from Prescot, Lancashire, England, in the year 1778. He was the
son of Peter and Margaret (Fairhurst) Glover, of that village. Both
his father and mother were probably born at Prescot. He had three
sisters — Lucy, Alice and Nancy. His father died when he was quite

young, and his mother married a second time to Massey. He

was himself married, about the year 1801, to Susannah Sharrot, the
widow of Isaac Turner, of Prescot, by whom he had five children, as
follows :

■1. Margaret, b. Aug, 16, 1802 ; m. William Sanderson.
•2. Mary, b. March 25, 1804 ; m. Joseph Fletcher, in 1820.

4. Ellen, b. in 1808 ; died in infancy.

-j-5. Maria, b. Oct. 11, 1809; m. John Finden, of Willsbourne.

Elias Glover served his apprenticeship as a machinist at Mas-
chester, in Lancashire, England. Li the year 1826 he came with hi«
wife, son Peter, and daughter Maria, to the United States, he and his
son having made an engagement with Joseph Marshall to put in the
machinery of a factory, called the New York Mills, situated at
Whitesboro', in the State of New York. He remained at Whites-
boro' about two years, and removed thence to Paterson, N. J., and
died there, Jan. 22, 1850, aged 72 years. Susannah his wife died
there, Feb. 10, 1853, aged 77 years. She was born at Prescot, about
the year 1776.

the United States in 1826, to assist in putting in the machinery of
the New York Mills in Whitesboro', N. Y. He fulfilled his engage-
ment, and remained there one year, and then visited Boston, Mass.,

of the manufactories in that vicinity. He then went to Paterson, to
meet his parents, who had removed to that city. He remained there
for four or five years, and removed with his family to the City of New
York, where he resided until the year 1838. He removed thence to
Paterson again, and remained until 1851, after the decease of his
father, Elias Glover. Near the close of the year 1851 he removed

MR. RALPH GLOVER.

Mr. Ralph Glover was in New England as early as 1630, and pre-
vious to the arrival of Winthrop's fleet. In March of that year he was
an inhabitant of Dorchester, and subsequently of Watertown, where he
was admitted freeman Oct. 19, 1630. He owned a landed estate in
Watertown, and died there before July, 1633. Very few facts have
been gathered of him, either as to his English or American life. The ,
prefix of Mr. was given to his name on the early records, which |
shows that he belonged to the distinguished class. He undoubtedly j
came from Rainhill Parish, Prescot, Lancashire, as the name of Ralph |
is found there on the Parish Records at a period before his appear- 1
ance in New England, and has been continued down in many of the
Glover families as a Christian name to later generations. Nothing ap-
pears on record here to establish definitely his relationships, ances- i
tors or descendants. It is not certainly known whether he was or
was not married ; but if the former was the case, he was probably
married before his emigration. His heirs, if he had any in New
England, or his descendants, are as yet unknown to us. He died
intestate, and administration was granted on his estate to Thomas
Mayhew, of Watertown, as appears on page 120, Vol. 1, of Mass.
CoL Records, under date of July 13, 1633.

The following incidents have been found recorded of Mr. Ralph
Glover, in the year 1630 (Col Rec, VoL 1, pp. 78, 82, 85, 106, 121).

March 22, 1630. Three men to be whipped for stealing- three
piggs from Mr. Ralph Glover.

Sept. 18, 1630. An Inquisition held and taken 'on the body of Wil-
liam Bateman, who was set on shore upon a neck of land near Fallen j
Point, in the Bay of Massachusetts, and being sick and weak was left |
there with one Ralph Glover, who had a shallop in that place, but |
they being forced to leave him there, because the wind was contrary, j
they, on returning home, left him with such provisions as they had, j
and a fire. But when they returned to their boats on Friday last,
they found the said William Bateman dead about high-water mark
near their boat and about a stone's cast from the place where they
left him ; so the jury brought in that he died by the visitation of God.
The above was testified to b}^ the following witnesses.

Ralph Glover,
Elias Maverick,
Giles Sexton,
James Brown.

EALPH GLOVER. 555

Nov. 30, 1630, At a Court of Assistants holden at Boston. Pre-
sent the Governor and Deputy Governor and Assistants, viz., Sir
Richard Saltonstall, Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Nowel!, Mr. Pyncheon, Mr.
Coddington and Mr. Bradstreet. It is ordered that Thomas Moulton
shall pay unto Mr. Ralph Glover forty shillings before the 8 day of
December next ; or else be whipped, for the wrong he did Mr. Glover
in coming from Plymouth and leaving him without a Pilot.

The next notice of him is under date of June 3, 1634, when it is
stated on the records of the General Court at Boston, that

Mr. Thomas Mayhew, being appointed Administrator on the estate
of Mr. Ralph Glover Deceased, intestate, hath now exhibited to this
Court an inventory of said estate. There is therefore this time given
until the first Tuesday in August next for the Creditors of the said
Ralph Glover to make their demands of such debts as are due them, or
else the said extra shall be divided amongst those that shall come in,
and the others shall be excluded.

There is nothing conclusive, apparently, in the foregoing notices
of Mr. Ralph Glover, in relation to his family or the manner of dis-
posal of his effects.

Ralph, Ellis and Peter Glover owned estates in Rainhill about the
middle of the 1 8th century, and their names are mentioned in the
County History of Lancashire.

In a list of burials at Rainhill Parish Church yard, Prescot, Lan-
cashire, England, the name of Ralph Glover occurs as follows, from
1700 to 1756:

15 April, 1700. Alice daughter of Ralph Glover of Rainhill.

4 May, 1706. Agnes wife of Ralph Glover.

17 March, 1720. Ralph Glover.

i There are notices of a Joseph Glover, mariner, who died in Salem
in 1692, and left a will on file, and who may have been a descendant
— a grandson, perhaps — of Ralph, as the most diligent searches
among records have failed to connect him with any other progenitor

j who settled in New England at so early a period, and no account of
his birth or marriage has yet been discovered. Mr. Savage does not
include the above Joseph in his notice of the Glovers of Essex
County, of whom there appear to have been several at quite an early
period. Tradition, therefore, aided by some remote circumstantial

evidence, "warrants us in conjecturing that he may have descended
from, or was in some way collaterally related to Mr. Ralph Glover, of
Rainhill, Dorchester and "Watertown. He had, at the date of his
will, a wife Elizabeth and an only son Edward, The will is on file
at Salem, in the Probate Records for Essex Co. In it, he bequeaths
his whole estate, real and personal, to his beloved wife Elizabeth
Glover during her life, and afterwards the whole to go to his only
son Edward Glover ; and no other child is named. The will is wit-
nessed by William Rogers and John Tyler. It was made and signed
the 14th day of December, 1692, Inventory taken of the estate
June 19, 1693. Amount of property, £34 3 shillings; viz.:

A piece of a house, and little orchard land amounting to £12 £12 03 0
Household Furniture 22 00 0

£34 03 0

In 1690, two years previous to the above date, the name of Joseph
Glover appears among a list of soldiers who served in the expedition
against Canada, in Capt. Gallop's company, who are stated to have
been mustered from the old Plymouth Colony. However that may
be, Joseph Glover formed one of the company in that expedition.
In 1695, Elizabeth Glover, widow of Joseph, was admitted to join
the First Church in Salem. Five years after that event, Elizabeth
Glover was married, July 18, 1700, to Samuel Moulton, son of James
Moulton, of Salem; born there, Dec. 25, 1642, and died there.
Elizabeth lived to an advanced age, and was legatee to the will of
her son in 1747-8. It is not known whether she died in Salem, or
at Rehoboth, and the precise date has not been ascertained.

Of the only son Edward, named in the will of Joseph Glover, the
facts that have been gathered show that he settled in Rehoboth in
the early part of the 18th century, in that part of the town which
afterwards took the name of Seekonk ; that he was a landholder,
was a member of the Church there, and sustained the character of
an upright and honest citizen, and an eminent Christian. Cyrus
Wheaton, Esq., the present Town Clerk of Rehoboth, in answer to
a letter of inquiry in relation to Edward Glover, writes thus under
date of Feb. 26, 1861 : " I am unable to find, much to my regret, the
place where Mr. Glover originated or came from, to this town. Ho
settled in the westerly part of Rehoboth, now Seekonk, and owned
a farm on the east side of the Green or Common, near the Meeting

House. Ill 1719 lie, "with others, purchased the old and first erected
meeting house, for the purpose of having it removed or taken down
by a given time, to make way for the erection of a new one. He
was an active and prominent man at that time, and had resided there
previous to the year 1707. He probably came to Rehoboth at the
time or soon after he attained the age of twenty-one years. Accord-
ing to the entries on our Town Records he was married here in the
spring of 1707, and died here in the latter part of the year 1747^
living here for a period of about forty years. In 1732 he was chosen
one of the Seaters to seat the parish in their new three-story meet-
ing house, and was chosen Town Treasurer and one of the Select-
men from 1730 to 1740, and served faithfully and to great accep-
tance to the town in those offices. He also was elected to other
offices of trust and honor. His name is often mentioned among
those of other distinguished men in the town on our Records, from
which the following dates are copied :

Edward Glover and Dorothea Peck were married April 2, 1707.

Children of Edward Glover and his wife Dorothea :
Joseph, b. July 12, 1710.

Elizabeth, b. Jan. 2, 1711-12. (Probably second of the name.)
Dorothea, b. Oct. 18, 1715; d. April 1, 1737, aged 22 years.

Dorothea, the wife of Deacon Edward Glover, died Feb. 11, 1737-8.

Mr. Edward Glover and widow Rachel Perrin, both of Rehoboth,*
were married July 5, 1738.

Dea. Edward Glover died Nov. ye 9% 1747."

Mr. Wheaton further writes that he has carefully examined the
Town Records of Rehoboth under his charge and keeping, and that
he has herewith rendered all the births, marriages and deaths found
recorded there, relating to Edward G-lover and his family. Of Joseph
and Elizabeth, the son and daughter of Edward and Dorothea Glover,
he does not find any mention after their births. He also says that
the name of Glover has disappeared from the town, and has not been
known there for the last half century.

In the last will and testament of Edward Glover it is stated that
he had a mother, Mrs, Elizabeth Moulton, for whom he provides.
This and other circumstances which follow in the disposal of his
property, establish the fact that he had no children at that date.

Rev. James 0. Barney furnishes the following extracts from the
Church Records of Seekonk, anciently Rehoboth :
48^

558 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

Edward Glover and Dorothea his wife owned the Covenant June
16, 1109. Their daughter Elizabeth was baptized the same day, and
no mention is made of their other children. May 25, 1V27, they were
received into full communion ; and Oct. 2, 1731, he is first mentioned
as Deacon of the Church. The last mention of Dea. Edward Glover
on the Church Records is in 1746. The monument in the cemetery
says, "Dea. Edward Glover died Nov. 10, 1747, in the 65th year of
his age," He gave a silver cup to the Church, bearing this inscrip-
tion : " The Gift of Deacon Edward Glover, Deceased, to the First
Church of Christ in Rehoboth, 1751."

Mr. Barney also adds that the most diligent search has been baf-
fled as to the discovery of his origin, or what branch of Glover he
connects with, and that it would be very gratifying to the friends of
the Church there, and his successors in ofiice, if more could be known
of his previous history. It appears he acquired a competent estate,
of which he makes the following disposal by Will, as found recorded
on the Probate Records for Bristol County.

REV. JOSEPH GLOVER.

The name of Rev. Joseph Glover, Rector of Sutton in Surrey;
England, is found among a list of incumbents in the Rectory of Sut-
ton, from 1628 to 1636. In 1636 it is stated lie tendered his resig-
nation, with the intention of embarking for New England, which
resignation was accepted with " sorrow," and Henry Wyche, A.M., of
Cambridge University, was appointed his successor. (Vol. 1, Hist.
Co. of Surrey ; English County Histories, page 487.)

In the Parish Registry is the following entry, under date of June
10, 1636. '' Henry Wyche, being a non-resident and Master of Arts
in the Cambridge University in England, was inducted into office by
Thomas Pope, Knight, to the Rectory of Sutton, after the resignation
made of the same Rectory by Joseph Glover, who was much loved
by most if not all, and his departure much lamented." After his
resignation, he preached some time in London, travelled and visited
Lancashire and other counties, preaching and endeavoring to obtain
funds for the College which had been already commenced at Cam-
bridge in New England. But he was destined never to see the ac-
complishment of his desires with regard to the College, for he died on
the voyage over, leaving a widow and five children to " proceed on
their lonely way in grief and disappointment."

In Vol. 3, 4th series, of Mass. Historical Collections, page 343,
there is the following notice of him : " Amongst the other business
that Mr. Winslow had to provide, he had orders from the Church to
bring over to New England some able fitt man to be their minister ;
and accordingly he procured a Godly and worthy man, one Mr.
Glover ; but it pleased God to cut him off, for when he was prepared
for the voyage he fell sick and died." Other writers state that he
died on the voyage, which facts seem to prove.

Another account is as follows, gathered from diJGFerent writers : " In
the summer of 1638, Mr. Glover, with his family, embarked in the
John of Loudon, bound for New England. He took out with him a
printing press, which he intended for Harvard College in Cambridge ;
and Stephen Daye, a printer, who was to superintend the printing,
and three men servants who were bound to work the press for him

three years in order to establish the business of printing in the infant
Colony." " His heart was wrapt in its progress and advancement;
and during the interim of his retirement from the Rectory of Sutton,
he had been untiring in his efforts to promote its growth under the
influence of an educational system. He contributed unsparingly him-
self of his wealth and influence, and induced others of his friends,
both in England and Holland, to become interested in so noble a
cause. Mr. Glover died on the voyage, before reaching the shores of
New England. His widow and five children proceeded on the voy-
age, and arrived in the autumn of 1638. They settled in Cambridge.
Stephen Daye, the printer, whom he had engaged to superintend the
printing, arrived and set up the press, which was the first printing
press in America." "Mr. Glover has been justly styled by historians
as the ' Father of the American Press.' The press was set up under
the sanction of the Magistrates and Elders, Stephen Daye directing
and superintending the whole apparatus, and employing the men
whom Mr. Glover had engaged for that purpose. He had it ready
for operation, and began business in the first month of 1639." The
press first used by Daye became the property of Mr. Glover's heirs
in 1656. It has since passed to the possession of the College.

Isaiah Thomas, in his History of Printing, writes of Mr. Glover :
" Rev. Jose* Glover, a worthy and wealthy dissenting clergyman of
England, may be considered the father of the American Press. He
engaged with great earnestness in the settlement of New England,
and in particular of the Massachusetts Colony, and attentively pur-
sued such measures for its interest and prosperity as he judged would
best promote them. He gave much to Harvard College, and solicited
aid from others, both in England and Holland. In the year 1638 he
procured a printing press, and engaged a printer to accompany it in

* The Christian name of Mr. Glover has been variously spelled by different writers who
have noticed him. Mr. Thomas says, " At Harvard it was written Jose." In many other
notices of him, by New England writers, it is m-itten Jossc, as in the Suffolk Registry of
Deeds. Some writers, of later date, have so far corrupted the spelling as to write his name
Jesse, which has been the occasion of great confusion. Johnson, who was cotcmporary
with him, wrote his name Jos', which is an abridgment of Joseph, which was truly his
name. Gov. Winthrop gave him his true English name, without contraction or corruption ;
as in Vol. 1 of Journal, p. 242, he writes thus : " The Printing House was begun by one
Daye, at the charge of Mr. Joseph Glover, who died on sea hitherward." But we arc no
longer in doubt and uncertainty about the spelling of his Christian name, as the English
orthography decides it. On the Church Records of Sutton, in Sun-ey, it is written Joseph,
and wherever his name occurs in English Records and in the English County Histories, it
is invariably wTittcn " Joseph Glover."

a ship bound to New England. Mr. Glover, with his wife and live
children, embarked in the same ship, but, unfortunately, he did not
live to reach the shores of New England. His widow and children
arrived in the autumn of that year, and settled in Cambridge. Rev.
Ezekiel Rogers and about sixty families came passengers in the same
ship." " His widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Glover, afterwards married the
Rev. Henry Dunster, first President of Harvard College."

Mr. Thomas also writes thus : " It is not known whether Mr. Glo-
ver had been in New England previous to his embarking for this
country in 1638, but I find by the Records of the County of Middle-
sex that he possessed a valuable real and personal estate in Massa-
chusetts, and that he had two sons and three daughters, viz. : Roger
Glover; John Glover, H. C. in 1650, was a physician and settled in
Boston ; Elizabeth, who married Adam Winthrop ; Sarah, who mar-
ried Deane Winthrop ; and Priscilla, who married John Appleton."

The following notices of Mr. Glover's estate and lands in Boston
and vicinity are found recorded in the Registry of Deeds for Suf-
folk County, Vol. 1, p. 254:

Mr. Glover was twice married. His first wife was Sarah Owfield,
daughter of Mr. Roger Owfield, of London (citizen). They had
three children, born in Sutton, viz. : Roger, Elizabeth and Sarah.
The mother of Sarah Owfield Avas of Scottish origin, and lived in
Edinburgh, Scotland. She died July 10, 1628, aged 30 years, and
her husband caused a monument to be erected over her remains, with
the following inscription :

Gentlewoman and servant of God, Mrs. Sarah Glover, one of the
daughters of Mr. Roger Owfield, Citizen of London, Late wife of Mr.

monument to be erected, May 24, A.D, 1629.

-\-3. Sarah, m. Deane Winthrop, Esq.

The second wife of Rev. Joseph Glover was Elizabeth Harris,

daughter of William Harris, o.f , England, afterwards of Boston,

to whom he was married about 1630. By her he had two children,
as follows :

-|-4. Priscilla, m. John Appleton, Esq., of Ipswich.
-j-5. John, d. in Loudon, in 1668, unmarried.

Mrs, Elizabeth Glover was married, soon after her arrival at Cam-
bridge, to Rev. Henry Dunster, and died 23: 6: 1643. She was
buried in the ancient burial ground at Cambridge, and has a grave-
stone, much gone to decay. There were no children by this mar-
riage. Mr. Dunster, on his marriage wi.th Mrs. Glover, assumed the
charge of her children, was subsequently appointed their guardian,
and superintended their education until they were married or arrived
at full age. He was also appointed one of the feoffees to the estate
of their inheritance. Their mother survived but a few years after
her second marriage, and Mr. Dunster married a second time Eliza-
beth , by whom he had several children. She survived him,

and died in Cambridge 12 : 1: 1690, aged 60 years.

Mr. Glover made his will, which is on file at the Probate office for
Middlesex County, and appointed his wife Elizabeth sole executrix
of his "last Will and Testament."

In 1639, it was ordered by the General Court at Boston, "that
Mr. Thomas Mayhew and Mr. Flint shall set out Mrs. Glover six
hundred acres of land on the west side of Concord River."

564 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

Under date of Oct. 7, 1640, it is stated that "the six hundred
acres formerly granted to Mrs. Elizabeth Glover, to lye on the West
side of Sudbury River, it is now granted her on the East side of said
River and without the limits of the last addition to the bounds of
Sudbury, and between the said bounds and the Great Pond of Co-
chituate. And by these Presents she shall have Liberty to lay out
the same, provided she make a return to the next General Court.'.'
The return was not made in 1640. Thomas Mayhew, Peter Noyes
and Edmund Rice were appointed to lay out Mrs. Glover's farm, and
having faithfully performed the same, made the following report :

We whose names are underwritten have laid out Mrs. Glover's farm
as followeth, viz., Sudbury line is the North East Bounds ; the North
West bounds is the Great River that issueth out of the Great Pond at
Cochituate ; the South East bounds from the place where the little
River runs out of the great Pond till you come to the North East end
of said Pond, and so to the North West end of the Little Pond, and
from thence from the North East end of the said Little Pond ; and

Mrs. Glover became the wife of Rev. Henry Dunster, June 22,
1641 (Camb. Rec.), two years after the grant was made to her hy
'the General Court ; but the return was not made and the bounds set-
:tled until one year after her decease. The farm was held in trust by
Mr. Dunster, guardian for her minor children and feofice to their
(estate.

Edmund Rice, Esq., purchased the above described farm of her
-son John Glover, and it has descended in the Rice families, through
;many generations, to the present time.

June 18, 1645, it was ordered that Peter Noyes and Edmund Rice
be a committee to lay out a farm to Mr. Dunster in the town of Sud-
bury ; and tlie committee afterwards reported that they had laid out
Hr. Dunster's farm as follows : " The land lying between the Ponds,
contiguous to Mrs. Glover's farm, being the Southern bounds of this
farm."

Mrs. Elizabeth Glover, in 1640, entered a petition, from which the
following is an extract, at a Colony Court holden at New Plymouth
(Vol. 5, p. 151, Plymouth Col. Rec.) :

I JOSEPH GLOVER. 565

At a Court of Assistants held at New Plymouth, before William
Bradford Esq., Governor of the Plymouth Colony, the following peti-
\ tion was presented and acted upon. " Whereas Mrs. Elizabeth Glo-
ver, Widow and Executrix of the last Will and Testament of Joseph
i Glover Deceased ; constituted and appointed Mr. Timothy Hatherly
j her Attorney to prosecute John Combe of Plymouth, Gentleman, for
I a debt upon a bond of twelve pounds ; now for the ending and decid-
j ing thereof, it is concluded and agreed upon, that in Consideration
that the said John Combe hath, and in open Court bargained, Sold
and assigned, and made over unto Thomas Prince, all his corn now
planted and growing about his house at Rooky Nook ; To Have and
to Hold unto him the said Thomas Prince ; and he hath undertaken to
I pay the said debt unto Mrs. Glover, and either to deliver the sixteen
I bushels of Wheat and Eighteen bushels of Rye at Mrs. Glover's house

said, that then, Mrs. Glover shall allow the one half the charges of
transportation from hence, to her house at Cambridge. Dated May 5,
1640.

[Second Generation.]

(1) ROGER GLOVER, the eldest son and child of Rev. Joseph
and Sarah (Owficld) Glover, was born in Sutton, County of Surrey,
in England, about 1623, and died in Scotland. As stated by many
writers, " He was slain in the Wars at Edenborough in Scotland ia
the Kingdom of Great Britain," before 1652. At the age of about
fourteen years he accompanied his parents to New England, and re-
sided with his mother in Cambridge, both before and after her mar-
riage with President Dunster, and was educated by him. It has not
been ascertained at what date he returned to England, but it is pro-
bable ho left Cambridge soon after or at the time he attained the age
of twenty-one years, which would occur in 1645. He made a will, but
died before any division could be made of his father's estate accru-
ing to him and the other heirs ; some of whom were minors and
under guardianship. Application appears to have been made to the
General Court for a division of his property in 1652, by Rev. Henry
Dunster, " Guardian and Feoffee to the estate of Mr. Josse Glover."

The following is in answer to that petition, as found in Vol. 4, p.
118, of Mass. Col. Rcc, under date of Oct. 26, 1652, which renders
it certain that Roger Glover died previous to that date, and that he
left a will :

In answer to the petition of Rev. Henry Dunster, Guardian to the
children of Mr. Josse Glover and Feoiiee in trust in behalf of Adam
Winthrop, the son of Adam Winthrop, Esq. late of Boston Deceased,
desiring a Committee may be appointed to view and examine what the
estates of Roger and John Glover are, in the hands of the said Henry
Dunster, Roger being slain before any division was made, and that so
the Will of the said Roger may be justly performed. The Court doth
grant the petitioner's request thus far that Mr. John Leverett and Mr.
Joseph Hills, Esqs. shall have power to view and examine differences
as is desired and make report of their return to the next County Court

Court of Middlesex after it. Oct. 26, 1652.

There has been no evidence found on any writing or document
here to show that he had any children, or was ever married ; but in
the County History of Surrey there is an account of a Roger Glover
who died and was buried at Cudham, in the County of Kent, in 1722,
who may have been a grandson of Rev. Joseph Glover by his son
Roger. The following is written of him in the same volume and in
connection with the account of his supposed ancestors — Surrey, Vol.
2, p. 437:

Roger Glover purchased of the Norards an estate and other estates
of the Greshams. He was buried at Cudham in Kent, 1722. He
married Amy Hayward, who was daughter of Richard Hayward of
Waldingham. She survived her husband several years, and died Dec.
10, 1750 — buried at Cudham. They had children, viz. :

Roger, n. i., buried at Cudham, June 17, 1726.

John, n. i., buried at Cudham, 27 April, 1730.

William, who married Elizabeth Rowed, buried 27 July, 1741, his
wife Elizabeth buried there Dec. 20, 1742.

Mary, n. i., buried at Cudham, Jan. 10, 1733.

Anne, married Mr. Thomas Bryant, Gentleman, of Reygate, at St.
Stephen's Sepulchre, in London, in 1734; he was buried at Reygate,
Aug. 28, 1772, and she was buried there May 28, 1771.

William Glover, who married Elizabeth Rowed, had a daughter Su-
sannah, born at Cottleham. Ho died in 1776. The daughter married
Henry Rowed, Esq., of Cottleham Court Lodge, and died there. She
was buried at Cottleham in 1800. Henry Rowed, the husband of
Susannah Glover, married a second time, and had Henry Rowed, Jr.,
a Lieutenant in the British Navy in 1808. He had also one daugh-
ter by his first wife Susannah Glover, viz. : Katharine Glover, resid-
ing in 1808 in Croyden in Surrey, to whom descended the manor of
Cottleham Court Lodge, a description of which has been gathered
from another source, and reads in substance as follows : — The De-

mesne lands of the Manor of Cottlebara, called the Manor House of
Cottleham Court Lodge, being a good house, near the Church, and
four hundred acres of land, were many years ago separated from the
Manor and were purchased by Mr. Henry Rowed ; from him it de-
scended to his son Henry, who, on the 14th of May, 1765, married
Susannah Glover (daughter of William Glover and Elizabeth Rowed),
who was his first wife. He settled the estate on her. She died the
next year, and he died about 1802, when it came to Katharine Rowed
his daughter by that marriage, who was the owner in 1808.

The line of Anne, the supposed daughter of Roger Glover, and
who married Mr. Thomas Bryant,* is given as follows : William, sou
of Mr. Thomas Bryant by his wife Anne, the daughter of Roger
Glover, was born January 9, 1734-5; buried at Reygate, May 28,
1780. He was married to Charlotte Cooke, of Reygate, who died
in 1769 and was buried there in the family vault, leaving one son,
William Bryant, of the third generation, who was born in Reygate,
and was living there in 1808.

(2) ELIZABETH GLOVER, the eldest daughter of Rev. Joseph
and Sarah (Owfield) Glover, was born in Sutton, in Surrey, England,
and died in Boston, N. E. ; date of death not ascertained.

She was married, about 1642, to Adam Winthrop, Esq., the sixth
child of Gov. John Winthrop, and eldest son and child by his third
wife Margeret Tyndale, who was a daughter of Sir John Tyndale,
Knight. His maternal grandparents were Sir John Tyndale and
Anne Egarton, daughter of Sir Thomas Egarton, Knight. His eldest
brother was Governor John Winthrop, of Connecticut, who was born
in England, Feb. 12, 1606, and died in Boston, April 6, 1676, aged
70 years. Adam, who married Elizabeth Glover, was born in Eng-
land, April 7, 1620, and died in Boston, April 4, 1652, aged 32 years.

They had one son, born in Boston, viz. :
+6. Adam, b. in 1U1 ; m.

The inventory of Adam Winthrop's estate was taken Sept. 4, 1652,
by Edward Rawson and Thomas Luke. Mrs. Elizabeth Winthrop
deposed Jan. 27, 1653. There was due the estate, by bill of sale,
a part of the ship Expectation and cargo, more from Mr. Turner and

by Edward Rawson, Recorder.

Oct, 19, 1652. Mrs. Elizabeth Winthrop, the second wife of
Adam Winthrop, Esq., late of Boston. Answer to a petition as
follows : It is hereby ordered and declared that Adam Winthrop, an
orphan of about five years of age, being the only child of Adam Win-
throp (Sen.) and grandchild to John Winthrop, Esq., who is the true
Proprietor of the Island called Governors Island. To Have and to
Hold to him and his heirs forever. And that Mrs. Elizabeth Win-
throp, the second wife of Adam Winthrop, Esq. Deceased, shall have
one full third part of the profits of said Island, during the term of her
natural life. And that Mr. Dunster, Mrs. Elizabeth VVinthrop during
her Widowhood, Mr. Edward Rawson, Capt. Thomas Clarke and Capt.
Richard Davenport are appointed Guardians over the said Adam
Winthrop the orphan, to take care of his education ; and also of all

unto the said Adam or his guardian whom he shall choose when he
comes to the age of fourteen years. And that administration shall be
granted equally of the Goods and Chattels of the late Adam Winthrop
Deceased, unto Mrs. Elizabeth Winthrop, Widow, and unto Adam
Winthrop the Orphan. (Mass. Col. Rec, Vol. 3, p. 292.)

Mrs. Elizabeth Winthrop was married a second time, 3:3: 1654,
to the Hon. John Richards, of Boston, one of his Majesty's Coun-
cillors, and one of the most eminent men of his time in the
colonies. He is first mentioned as belonging to Dorchester — was
enrolled there as a citizen ; was a member of the Arfillery Company
in 1644; owned lands extensively in Dorchester, Weymouth, and on
the Kennebec River; was the owner of Georgetown, Maine (Island
of Arrotheek), which he purchased of the Indian " Robin Hood."
He was sometimes styled the " Worshipful." He was a planter,
merchant and shipbuilder ; was largely engaged in commercial pur-
suits and foreign trade, and was one of Boston's most active citizens.

(3) SARAH GLOVER, the second daughter of Rev. Joseph and
Sarah (Owfield) Glover, was born in Sutton, Surrey, England.

She was married, about 1645, to Deane Winthrop, second son of
Governor John Winthrop by his third wife Margaret Tyndale, and
next brother of Adam who married Elizabeth Glover. He was born
in England, March 16, 1623, and died at Pullen Point, March 16,
1704, aged 81 years. He owned an estate in Chelsea, and resided
there at one time, at anotlier time at Lynn, and also at Pullen Point.
They had three children, born in Boston, and perhaps more, viz. :

JOSEPH GLOVER. 569

7. Sarah, b. Feb. 11, 165Y.

8. Margaret, b. July 25, 1660.

9. Deane, b. May 3, 1665.

Mrs. Sarah (G-lover) Wintlirop, wife of Deane Winthrop, Esq.,
died, and he afterwards married Martha Mellows. (See Winthrop
Genealogy.)

(4) PRISCILLA GLOVER; third and youngest daughter of
Rev. Joseph Glover, and eldest by his second wife Elizabeth Harris,
was born in England, and died in Ipswich, Essex County, Mass.

She was married, Oct. 14, 1651, to John Appleton, Esq., of Ips-
wich, and went there to reside after her marriage. The following
entry respecting their marriage is found in the Massachusetts Colo-
nial Records, Vol. 3, p. 248 : " It is ordered by the Court that the
Rev. Henry Dunster be empowered to marry Mr. John Appleton to
Mrs. Priscilla Glover, who have been published according to law."
They had children — viz., Priscilla, who married the Rev. Joseph
Capen, of Topsfield ; and others, all of whom are noticed in the gene-
alogy of the Applctons. Their son, John Appleton, married Eliza-
beth Rogers, and died in 1739. The descendants of this line are
numerous, bearing the name of Appleton and other names by inter-
marriage.

(5) JOHN GLOVER, M.D., youngest son and child of Rev.
Joseph and Elizabeth (Harris) Glover, was born in England, and
died in London in 1668. He received his early education under the
instruction of Rev. President Dunster, was prepared for College, and
graduated at Harvard College in the class of 1650. He returned
to England, visited Scotland, studied medicine, took bis degree of
Doctor of Medicine at Aberdeen in Scotland, and became a physi-
cian. Mr. Thomas writes of him that he was a physician, settled in
Roxbury and was in practice there at one time ; but this is consider-
ed doubtful. He may have been a physician there a short time, but
there is evidence that he practised in London. In a letter written
by him, while in London, to his brother-in-law John Appleton, Esq.,
of Ipswich, under date of London, March 5, 1655, he says: "I am
now come out of Scotland, my grandmother being dead." " My de-
sire is that my sister, your wife, should have all that I have." " I
have taken my degrees of Doctor of Physic in Scotland." " Direct

your letter to Dr. Geiindaires, Thread Needle street." He names
" My father Dunster " in the letter, and signs himself " Your loving
brother, J. Glover."

In the year 1656 John Glover was involved in a suit at law with
his stepfather, Mr. Dunster. It is probable, but not certain, that he
returned to New England while the case was pending, and may have
resided in Roxbury and commenced practice there, as has been some-
times stated. Mr. Thomas writes thus of this matter, in his " History
of Printing " :

John Glover, after the death of his mother, brought an action or
suit against Rev. President Dunster for the recovery of the estate
which had belonged to his father and mother, which had been detained
by Mr. Dunster, as follows, under date of April 1, 1656. "At a
County Court held at Cambridge in the County of Middlesex, John
Glover, Gentleman, Plaintiff, against Henry Dunster, Defendant, in an
action of the case for an account of the estate, Houses and Lands,
Goods and Chattels, Legacies and Gifts or other estate and of right
due and belonging unto the said John Glover by the last Will and
Testament of his father, the Rev. Josse Glover, Deceased, or of Eliza-
beth his wife, or by the last Will and Testament of William Harris,
Deceased," &c.

Rev. Henry Dunster met the charge, and responded. "May 8,
1656, Henry Dunster vs. John Glover, case adjourned to August 24
next ensuing." He then filed in Court an account for diet, care
and clothing, and all such other expenses as had devolved upon him
in the course of the education of Mrs. Glover's five children, from
the time he commenced housekeeping with their mother on her mar-
riage with him, to the time when they or any of them were married
or ceased to be members of his family. A full account has been
given of the items of this bill by Mr. Thomas in the second volume
of his " History of Printing."

With some of the elder children this controversy commenced as
early as 1652, soon after the decease of Roger Glover.

Nov. 1, 1654, Lieutenant John Appleton petitioned the Court, and

was answered as follows :

In answer to the petition of Lieut. John Appleton, It is ordered,
that Capt. Atherton and Capt. Morton are hereby appointed to exam-
ine the accounts of Mr. Henry Dunster in reference to the estate of
Mr. Josse Glover Deceased, or of what his wife left, or what else may
concern the estate contended for by the two eldest sons Roger and
John Glover of the said Josse Glover, or any other whom it may con-
cern, making their report to the next General Court. (Vol. 4, p. 206,
Mass. Col. Rec.)

JOSEPH GLOVER. 671

Aug. 25, 1656, a writ was issued against Henry Dunster, in a suit
of John Glover in right of Joseph and Elizabeth Glover, both de-
ceased, and in relation to the will of Richard Harris ; the house was
attached where Richard Kildrick lived, with part of the mill on Mys-
tic River. The following depositions were taken in relation to the
matter : The testimony of Sarah Bucknam, aged 84 years, being ser-
vant to Mrs. Glover about a year and a quarter ; the testimony of
Jc anne the wife of Ralph Mousall, servant to Mrs. Glover ; the tes-
ti nony of Stephen Daye and his wife that " there is a jug tipt with
Silver and a Silver Salt and a Platter," which were by Mr. Dun-
ster brought into Court as a part of Josse Glover's estate, as also a
silver bowl which he left there in Mr. Langhorne's behalf; and the
testimony of Edmund Rice, aged about 62 years, that "the house
where Robert Wilson (of Sudbury) now dwells, Mr. Dunster's tenant,
was built by Mr. Glover."

The case was continued by adjournments until 1657. In Vol. 4,
p. 305, of the Colonial Records, it is stated, under date of May 8
of that year, that " It is ordered that Capt. Gookin, Major Atherton,
Major Willard and Capt. Edward Johnson are hereby authorized as
a committee with full power as the General Court might do, to hear
and determine all differences between Mr. Henry Dunster and Mr.
Thomas Danforth in behalf of the children of Mr. Josse Glover, and
that Capt. Gookin appoint time and place."

Dr. John Glover returned to London ; but at what date after the
suit commenced has not been satisfactorily ascertained. That he did
return and die there, is certain ; also that before he left New Eng-
land he appointed Mr. Thomas Danforth his attorney, who was, after
his decease, his administrator. He was never married, and died in-
testate.

From the Middlesex Court files, page 72, we learn the following,
under date of Nov. 3, 1668: "Appleton against Danforth." A writ
served upon Thomas Danforth, administrator of the estate of John
Glover late of London, gentleman, deceased, by Capt. John Apple-
ton and Priscilla his wife, she being heir to John Glover. 1668 : 10 : 5,
Thomas Danforth, attorney of Dr. John Glover, deceased, states
that Mrs. Priscilla Appleton was the reputed daughter of Mr. Josse
Glover and Elizabeth his wife, and that Dr. John Glover was her re-
puted brother.

The result of this suit, which was favorable to Mrs. Appleton, may
be found among the Court Records for Middlesex County.

(6) ADAM WINTHROP, only son of Adam and Elizabeth
(Glover) Winthrop, was born in Boston in 1647, graduated at Har-
vard College in 1668, and died in Boston in 1700. He rose to dis-
tinction in the various offices to which he was appointed. He inherit-
ed a large estate from his father ; married, and had children — among
whom was Adam, the third of the name and line, who married Anne
Wain Wright, and had Adam the fourth of the name, who graduated
at Harvard College in 1724, and died in 1743 ; also John, who grad-
uated at H. C. in 1732, became a distinguished professor in the Col-
lege, and died in 1779, leaving descendants. Another Adam, the
fifth of this name and descent, was a graduate of H. C. in 1767.
Thus the succession of Adam Winthrops in this line was perpetuated
to quite a late period.

RICHARD GLOVER. 573

RICHARD GLOVER.

Richard Glover, twenty-four years of age, came from England in
the Assurance, whicE sailed from Gravesend in 1635, and settled in
Virginia. His name appears among a list of passengers who sailed
for Virginia under date of July 16 of that year. They took the
oath of allegiance before their embarkation, as the following certifi-
cate shows : " These Underwritten names are to be transported to
Virginia and embarked in the Assurance — Isaac Bromwell and
George Pewsie Masters. Examined before the Minister of the town
of Gravesend of their conformity to our Religion. The men having
taken the oath of Allegiance and supremacy." The names of Barnes,
Brooks, Butler anu Lee appear in tlie list with Richard Glover, and
others of the old and distinguished families of Virginia. Richard was
born in the year 1611, but in what part of England has not been ascer-
tained. The Records of Lancashire do not give any account of a
Richard Glover of so early a date. He was a cotemporary of Rich-
ard the poet, who was born in St. Martin's Lane, Cannon street, Lon-
don, and who descended from a line of Richard Glovers of ancient
date. Tradition accords to him at least three sons — one of whom
went to South Carolina, where some of his descendants now live. The
name is found also in North Carolina and Alabama, all of whom are
traceable to the above progenitor.

Very little has been gathered of Richard the emigrant. He set-
tled near James River, in Virginia, and was married soon after his
arrival. He owned a plantation, and was ranked among the most
wealthy planters of his time. He had a family of children, and has
descendants still residing in that State. Others went to Kentucky
and the more Southern and the Western States.

Thomas Glover, who from 1664 to 1667 resided in Jamestown,
Virginia, is presumed to be a son of Richard. He was a scholar,
and a writer of ability and merit. He wrote an account of Virginia,
its situation, temperature and productions from personal observation,
which was published in Vol. 11 of the Transactions of the Royal
Geographical Society.

574 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

Two of the descendants of Richard Glover, of the names of Wil-
liam and Robert, were living in the eastern part of Virginia at the
time of the Revolution. They were of the Whig party, and had a
brother-in-law by the name of Daniel, all of whom were much perse-
cuted for their loyalty by the tories of that day. William, the eldest,
married a Miss Harrelson. After the war he removed to New River
County, now known as Kanawha County, and noted for its valuable
saline springs. While here he was engaged in making salt, and had
an extensive business. Subsequently he removed to the Green River
country in Kentucky, now known as the " Barrens."

William Glover had six sons born to him in Virginia, by his wife
Harrelson, as follows, viz. :

1. Abner, b. in 1116 ; d. young, unmarried.
-|-2, John, b. in 1118 ; m. Fanny Taylor.

(7) SAMUEL TAYLOR GLOVER, the eldest son of John and
Fanny (Taylor) Glover, was born in the year 1813, and is now re-
siding in St. Louis, Missouri, having a wife and six children. He is
a lawyer of distinguished ability, and in the successful practice of
Ms profession. Many of his public speeches on the great questions
which agitated the people of his State from 1860 to 1863, have been
printed, and evince his decided opinions as to the proper course to
be taken by them during that fearful period. He has been success-
ively a member of the Missouri Legislature as Representative and
Senator from St. Louis. In July, 1860, he delivered an able and ac-
ceptable address before the citizens of St. Louis, at Turner's Hall,
on the respective qualifications and fitness of the four candidates for
the office of President of the United States. In June, 1862, he was
elected to address the people at the same place on the subject of
Emancipation in the State of Missouri.

In the autumn of 1863 he was chosen a candidate for Senator to
the Congress of the United States. His character is thus described
by an able and distinguished writer in one of the St. Louis papers
while speaking of his adaptation to that office : " Another Senator
will have to be elected, and so far as our knowledge of the prefer-
ences of the people goes, we have heard but one name mentioned in
connection with it— the name of the Hon. Samuel T. Glover, of St.
Louis. Mr. Glover has been for years favorably known as one of
the most distinguished lawyers of our State ; devoting his time and
talents exclusively to his profession, and until the breaking out of
the rebellion had taken but little part in the politics of the country,
further than on all fitting occasions to express in a bold and manly
way his preferences for men and measures ; or if, as he believed, op-
posed to the welfare and interests of the country, to denounce them
with a firmness and independence peculiar to himself. But when the
safety of the country was threatened, then and not till then did he
rise to the full stature of a great man, and stand forth the Ajax Tela-
mon of the Union party of Missouri. In all the relations of life he

576 MEMORIALS AND GENEALOGIES.

presents a model of manly perfection, worthy the admiration and
imitation of his countrymen, and that man who could know Samuel
T. Glover and fail to admire him and to love him, could not produce
stronger inability to appreciate all that is noble and excellent in our
nature. At this particular time, there is a peculiar fitness in the se-
lection of Mr. Glover for the high and responsible position in con-
nection with which Jiis name has been mentioned. As a Union man
he is as far above suspicion as light is from darkness. In all times and
under all circumstances, even when it was dangerous to avow such
sentiments, no man was ever at a loss to know where he stood — like
a faithful sentinel upon the watch tower, he warned his countrymen
of the coming danger, and no man ever found him despairing or even
desponding of the ultimate results of this war. While others have
quailed before the magnitude of the rebellion, or permitted them-
selves, from the hope of personal aggrandizement, to float along with
the current of disloyalty, he has been first, last, and all the time, the
firm and consistent friend of his country, and no less firm and con-
sistent in his denunciation of traitors.

" Mr. Glover has been for years identified with the emancipation
policy of Missouri, and has adhered through good and through evil
report to his principles, even at a time when to be an emancipationist in
Missouri was equivalent to signing his own political death warrant ;
in that, as in every other act of his life, he has exhibited a stern devo-
tion to principle, which even those who disagreed with him were
bound to respect and admire. This condition of things is, however,
changed, and the party which, but a few years ago, were regarded as
beyond the pale of political preferment, has by the agency of this
rebellion been brought rapidly into public favor, and Mr. Glover
stands to-day the representative man of the emancipationists in Mis-
souri.

" Although a slave owner, and a citizen of a county heretofore the
banner county of slavery in Missouri, we stand to-day the uncompro-
mising advocate of emancipation, not because we are not partial to
the institution of slavery — an institution under which we have been
raised and nurtured — but because we look upon it as a measure ab-
solutely necessary for the true interests of our State. The resources
of our State must be developed, and he who expects those resources
to be developed by the miserable remnant of negroes left in the State,
must be a crazy enthusiast, whose opinions are more worthy a mad-

RICHARD GLOYER. 577

jinan than a rational creature. We must trust to the natural influx
from the free States to build up our fallen fortunes, and that hope
can never be realized so long as Missouri is a slave State.

" Let US; then, in view of all the circumstances that surround us,
cast aside the miserable and narrow prejudices which have heretofore
controlled our actions as a people, and, anxious only for the perma-
nent good and glory of our country, seek to repair the ruin which
has desolated our gi-eat State, by elevating to the highest offices in
our gift, such men as alone can raise our State to the position she
deserves to hold. Such a man is Saiiuel Taylor Glover."

NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA GLOVERS.

Robert D. Glover was living in Augusta, Georgia, in 1860;

owned a plantation there ; writes that he was " raised about fifteen
feniles from Augusta, in Edgefield District, S. C.," and that his brothers
pud sisters still live there. He can trace no farther back than his
[grandfather, who was Joseph Glover, who lived and died near Wil-
iliamsboro', Granville County, N. C, and who had six sons, viz. :
i William, John, Jacob, Daniel, Robert and David. They all moved
ito Edgefield, S. C, except Daniel, who retained the homestead in
I North Carolina and lived and died there. William, John, Jacob and
i Robert died in South Carolina, at Edgefield; David removed to Ken-
jtucky, and died there. There were daughters, but nothing further
ihas been reported of them. The family record was left with Daniel
i at the homestead. Mr. Glover thinks it probable that his grand-
I father, Joseph Glover, moved from Virginia to North Carolina, but
I is not certain. He writes also that his father's name was Robert
I Glover, and is very desirous that the genealogy of their branch may

be traced out.

I ROBERT GLOVER, fifth son of Joseph Glover, was born in
j Williamsboro', Granville Co., N. C, in 1758; removed to Edgefield,
S. C, where he died.

He was twice married. First, to Miss Frances Atwood, who died,

Robert Glover, Esq., died in Edgefield, S. C, July 9, 1822, aged

It is stated, also, that William, the eldest son of Joseph Glover,
and brother of the above Robert, removed to Edgefield, S. C, mar-
ried and had fifteen children, who are scattered in the western country.

Mr. Glover also writes that there are two other Glover families
living in Edgefield, S. C, who claim kinship, and probably are col-
lateral relatives.

Judge Glover lives in Orangeburg District, S. C. The other
family lives in Edgefield, about fifteen miles from Augusta, Ga., viz. :
Wade Glover, who died early in the year 1859, and left a family.

Eli Glover, of Monticello, Ga., claims kinship with the Joseph-Robert
Glover family. He died in the year 1858. His son, who is a lawyer,
bears the name of Richard Glover.

There arc two families living in Morgan County, Ga., who bear
the name of Glover, and claim relationship with this family. They
went to that county from a place in North Carolina, not far from Wil-
liamsboro'.

There are two families in Alabama of the name of Glover, viz. :
Williamson, who lives in Greene Co. ;• and Benjamin, who lives at
Ferrary Bluff, Marengo County, Alabama.

RICHARD GLOVER. 579

ROBERT D. GLOVER, son of Robert Glover, of Williams-
boro', N. C, and Edgefield, S. C., and grandson of Joseph Glover, of
Williamsboro', was born in Edgefield, S. C., May 12, 1807; lives in
Augusta, Ga. ; owns a plantation there. Mrs. Glover, his wife, was
born Sept. 25, 1817. They have three sons, born in Augusta, Ga. :

12. Augustus C, b. May 22, 1842.

13. James R., b. June 22, 1845.

14. Lewis L., b. Nov. 27, 1849.

Another account of the Glovers at the South states that William
Allen Glover resides now (1861) in Mobile, Alabama. He is the
son of Mr. Allen Glover, a planter, born at Cambridge, S. C, and
died there in 1 840, leaving eight children ; had been twice married.
He, Mr. Allen Glover, was son of Frederick Glover, who was a son
of Benjamin Glover, of Jamestown, Virginia ; a descendant of the
first Richard Glover of Virginia, in 1635, and was great-grandfather
to the informant, Mr. Williamson A. Glover.

The name of Glover appears in many of the Southern and West-
ern cities, and the individuals are presumed to be descended from the
Jamestown Richard Glover. But two of the name have been reported
as of New England descent, among the settlers there. The following
is a list of Glovers, copied from the Charleston (S. C.) Directory for
1859 to 1861:

Glover, Adam B. (Henniker & Glover), house Meeting street.
Francis, planter, house Bull, corner Rutledge street.
George A., saddler, Price Avenue.

H , widow of A. W., house King street, near Spring.

J. C, house Cannon above Corning street.

S. L., accountant, house 7 Rutledge street.

The Charleston Courier for May, 1861, contained a list of stu-
di nts at Columbia College who volunteered their services in defence
of tlieir homes, but were not accepted on account of their youth and
inexperience. The name of Leslie Glover appears in that list.

Elisha and Jerusha (Billings) Glover, was born in Dorchester, June
15, 1776, and died in New York City, June 10, 1840, aged 64 years.
He was a skilful navigator and shipmaster, and passed most of his
life at sea. At the time of his decease he had retired from business,
having acquired a large and valuable property. He became an exten-
sive ship builder and ship owner. The last one built by him, a ship
of 900 tons burthen, had not been launched when he died, and was
named in honor of him, "Russell Glover." He was never married,
and must be added to the lines which are extinct.

ren. The following Record was taken from the Salter Family Bible,
by Mr. Daniel Greenleaf Ingraham, a grandson, and presented to the
writer. His letter arrived too late to make the corrections in the
proper place:

359. Jane, b. Aug. 7, 1763; m. Joseph Ingraham, Boston.

362. Richard, b. Sept. 21, 1779; d. July 13, 1801, at Havana,

West Indies.

The last named was never married, according to Mr. Ingraham's
statement, which is undoubtedly correct, and the marriage of Richard
Salter and Sarah Appleton, as given on page 301, must relate to
another of the same name.

Jane Carnes, the wife of Richard Salter, was the daughter of John

and Sarah Carnes, of Boston ; was born there, May 13, 1737,
