PEEFACE.
'T^HIS Genealogy of the Families of Hingham has
been compiled in accordance with a vote of the
committee appointed by the town to prepare and publish
its history. It commences with the settlement of the
town in 1635, and ends September 1, 1889.
Owing to the extent of the work, which has greatly
exceeded the early estimates made for this portion of the
history, it has been found necessary to curtail much of
the material at hand relating to the heads of families ; and
also to make free use of abbreviations. For the same
reason the compiler was instructed to limit the records of
families to those persons who are, or have been, residents
of the town ; but where part of a family of children were
born here, and others of the same family were born else-
where, the whole have been given when the names could
be ascertained, rather than to break the connection.
That there may be errors of omission and errors of date,
as well as in the spelling of names (especially Christian
names) in some portions of the work, which the genealo-
gist of each family will notice, and perhaps criticise, is not
improbable. But when it is considered that more than fifty
thousand lines with as many Christian names and about
three times the number of dates have been written and
viii Preface.
re-written many times, — that the town, the parish, and
family records often disagree concerning the same birth,
marriage, or death, and that in many instances, especially
of recent date, the facts required could not be ascertained
from either public or private records, — it is hoped that the
embarrassing conditions under which the writer has often
labored, together with the magnitude of the undertaking,
will in some measure be accepted as an excuse for whatever
is unsatisfactory.
The plan adopted for the successive sketches is that
which is in use by the New England Historical and Gen-
ealogical Society. It is quite simple and easily understood
by those who are familiar with genealogical investigations ;
and to those who are not, a brief study will soon make clear
its seeming mysteries. The figure which precedes the head
of a family — if descended from the first settlers — denotes
the number of families bearing the surname, and refers back
to the family of the immediate ancestor, where the same
person is designated, in the list of children, by the same
number at the left of the Roman numeral. Following
this rule it is easy to trace back through the whole an-
cestral line to the progenitor. The Christian names and
figures which are given in parenthesis after the head of a
family denote the ancestral line and generation in consecu-
tive order. The names in parenthesis which follow the
heads of families who have been or are residents of the
town, but whose ancestral line is not traced, refer to the
parents, and include the mother's maiden name. Figures
at the left of the Roman numeral refer forward, where the
same number will precede the family history of the person
designated.
' Preface. ix
Cohasset having formerly been a part of Hingham, and
known as the east or second precinct, its families are in-
cluded in the succeeding records up to 1770, when it was
incorporated as a separate town.
The writer gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to
Charles B. W. Lane and Quincy Bicknell, of Hingham ; to
Rev. Joseph Osgood and Aaron Pratt, of Cohasset ; and
to Gen. Samuel Andrews, Charles J. F. Binney, and Albert
T. Whiting, of Boston, for the loan of valuable records. Also
to Charles N. Marsh, Elijah Shute, Edwin D. Gardner, and
David Cobb, Jr. for assistance in collecting information.
Without the aid thus rendered some of the records would
have been quite incomplete.
GEORGE LINCOLN.
OLD AND NEW STYLE.
A CCORDING to "Old Style" the year began on the 25th of March,
■^^ and 1751 was the last year of "Old Style." In recording events
which occurred from the 1st of January to the 25th of March before
1751, double dating has been practised in Hingham, as elsewhere. Ac-
cording to " New Style " the year begins on the 1st of January, and
1752 was the first year of "New Style." The day following the 2d
of September, 1752, was called the 14th, omitting eleven intermediate
nominal days.
FREEMEN.
To be a freeman in the early history of the Colony was to be a member
of the Church ; and none but freemen could vote for rulers or be elected
to office. The freeman's oath bound him to be a true and faithful subject
of the government, and if called upon he was to yield assistance and support
thereto with his person and estate.
Among the many laws enacted by the Colonists relating to freemen
were the following : —
" 1641. Every Court within this Jurisdiction where two Magistrates are
present, may admit any Church Members, that are fit to be freemen, giv-
ing them the Oath, and the Clerk of each Court shall certifie their Names
to the Secretary at the next General Court."
"Oct. 15, 1673. As an addition to the Law Title Freeman (sec. iii).
It is ordered by this Court, and the Authority thereof; That henceforth,
the Names of such as desire to be admitted to the Freedome of this Com-
monwealth, not being Members of Churches in full Communion, shall be
entered with the Secretary from time to time at the Court of Election,
and Read over before the whole Court, sometime that Sessions, and
shall not be put to Vote in the Court till the Court of Election, next
following."

1. Thomas, and his s. Joseph 2, came from Devonshire, Eng., and
settled in our Hing. prior to the arrival of Rev. Peter Hobart and
his company in 1635. At the first drawing of house-lots, Sept. 18,
1635, he had five acres (including back land) granted to him on Town
(North) St. His lot was the one upon which now stands the dwelling
owned by heirs of the late Perez Lincoln. Whether he was related
to any of the persons bearing this surname among the early settlers
of Taunton, Ipswich, Cambridge, Dorchester, and other places in East-
ern Massachusetts is uncertain. He was aged, and prob. old enough
to have been the fa. of the Thomas who settled at Dorchester in 1634,
and who had a s. Thomas bt. there June 23, 1639 ; but there is no rec.
showing such a connection. Rev. Peter Hobart of Hing. wrote in his
diary under date of Aug. 21, 1643, "Old Thomas Andrews dyed."
From this expression I am led to infer that there were other per-
sons bearing the same name who were kn. to Mr. Hobart ; although
in Hing. there was but one of the name, and he a lad of but ten or
eleven yrs. of age.
2. Joseph ^ (Thomas ^), b. at Devonshire, Eng., ab. 1597, came early
to Hing., and had a grant of a house-lot on Town (North) St., Sept. 18,
1635. The lot was next west of his father's, and contained five acres,
inc. back land. At the May court in 1635 he was sworn as constable.
In 1636, 1637, and 1638 he was one of the representatives of the town
at the General Court. He also was the first town clerk of Hing. He
Andrews. 11
afts. removed to Dux., and in 1654 was surveyor of highways, and
constable in 1664. Oct. 16, 1665, Joseph Andrews and his wife Eliz-
abeth of Dux. convey to Thomas Andrews of Hing. " our natural
son," "our house-lot and dwelling-house, out-buildiugs, etc., and 10
acres of land which was formerly given us by the town of Hingham,
bounded on Town Street, south. Broad Cove, north," etc. At a later
date he returned to Hing., and d. here 1 Jan. 1679-80, set. 83 yrs. His
wid. d. 12 Aug. 1688. His will, which is on file in the S. P. office,
and "dated at Hingham 27 Sept. 1679," mentions and provides for w.
Elizabeth ; gives to s. Joseph, among other valuables, " my sword, gold
ring, and a bible ; " to s. Ephraim " the estate in New Jersey ; " men-
tions dau's and gr. ch., and gives "to each of my grandsons that bpar
my name Joseph " a pewter platter.

The Chris, name of his w. was Ruth. She outlived him, and d. in
Hing. 23 Oct. 1732, fet. 97th yr. He was for sev. yrs. captain of a
military com p. in Hing., and on the 6th of Aug. 1690, he and a
number of the soldiers of his command went on board ship to go to
Canada with the expedition under Sir William Phips. Capt. Andrews
and most of the Hing. soldiers d. in the expedition.* In his will,
dated at Boston 5 Jan. 1670, he provides for w. Euth; gives to s.
Thomas " the dwelling-house which I built for him " (now David W.
Foster's, North St. near Thaxter's Bridge), " with the land about it
that was Edmund Pitts, yt I bought of his son and daughter East-
man." Son Jedidiah to be brought up to learning. Gives to other
sons and dau's. share and share alike. In 1689 he was chosen to rep-
resent the town in the Council of Safety. Constable in 1654 and
1661. Selectman 1670, 1672, 1676, 1679, 1685, 1687, and 1688. Rep-
resentative in 1678. Resided on Town (North) St., on the homestead
given him by his fa., the original house still forming a part of the
dwelling now owned by heirs of the late Perez Lincoln.

He came to Hing. ab. the time Rev. Peter Hobart and his followers
arrived, and on the 18th of Sept. 1635, received a grant of land on
Town (South) St. This lot contained five acres, and was bounded
on the N. E. by George Russell, and S. W. by Thomas Johnson. It
was the fifth in number from Bachelor (Main) St. and has been in
possession of the descendants of the original grantee for nearly two
and a half centuries. In 1883 the estate, including the ancient dwell-
ing-house formerly known as the '' Anchor Tavern," was sold to the
owners of the land adjoining. A portion of the estate, however, has
since been repurchased ; and on the spot where the old house stood a
dwelling of modern style has been erected, which is occupied by
a descendant.

turies before the Puritans took their departure for Kew England, and

1. EiCHARD, b. 1608, arrived at Boston, 1630 ; freeman, 1632 ; and
from 1633 to 1649 inc. a resident of Ply. Mass. Subsequently he was
for a short time at Eastham, removing thence to Charlestown. Jan.
24, 1653, he purchased of Thomas Joy "one halfe or moytie of his
Corne mill standeing vpon y® Ryuer caled y^ towne Coue in hingham
It is with y^ damme head & streame thereunto belongeing and halfe
y* lott of Lande Lying there unto contayneing fower or six acres w'^"

mainder of his life. He m. ab. 1636 Elizabeth, dan. of Richard and
Elizabeth (Jouatt) Warren, who, in 1620, came to Plymouth in the

Benjamin was known as " Captain," and afts. as "Colonel." He was the
distinguished hero of the Indian Wars, and commanded the party by which
King Philip was slain. (See Windsou's "Duxbury," and Barry's
" Hanover.") Some have thought Col. Benjamin was a nephew of Eich-
ard ; but this seems somewhat improbable from the fact that the date of
his m., Dec. 26, 1667, was recorded in Hing. by Rev. Peter Hobart, who,
prob. would not have entered in his diary a marriage occurring in another
town, had not one at least of the parties m. been closely connected with
those of the name in Hing.

GUSHING- (CusHAx ; Cushen ; Cushtn).
1. Matthew, with his w. and live ch., came from Hing. in Old
Eng,, and settled in Hing. in Is'ew Eng.. in the autumn of 1638.
According to a memorandum kejjt by one of the fam., they came to
Boston in the ship "Diligent," John INIartin, master, arriving on the
10th of Aug. of that yr. Matthew, however, had sev. lots granted
him prior to his arrival here. The lot upon which he built his dw.-
house, first below Pear Tree Hill, was among those granted for build-
ing purposes on Bachelor (Main) St. in 1638, and it continued in the
fam. possession until 1887. The history of the Gushing fam. is
traceable in Eng, for sev. generations before either Pilgrim or Pu-
ritan set sail for America. A Thomas Gushing owned land in
Hing. and other parts of Eng., early in the fifteenth century. Wil-
liam, the oldest s. of Thomas, commenced his will of 1492 as foil. : —
"In the name of god Amen, The xx Day of the moneth of Septembr,
in the yere of o'' lord god ]\Pcccclxxxxij, I William Gusshyn of
Henghm in my hoel mend And good memory beying, make my testa-
ment and my last will Declare in this forme Folloyng ; " etc. JoJm,
s. of William, made his will in 1522. Thomas, s. of John, d. in 1588.
Peter, s. of Thomas, was buried at Hing. Eng., 2 March, 1596 ; he was
the fa. of eight ch., five sons and three dau's. Of the sons of Peter,
Theophilus and Matthew emigrated to New Eng. Theophilus came
in 1633, in the ship '' Griffin," and resided sev. yrs. at Haynes farm.
He afts. settled in our Hing. ; was blind during the last twenty-five
yrs. of his life, and d. 24 March, 1678-79, aet. nearly 100 yrs. There
is no rec. showing that he had a fam. With Matthew, therefore, the
genealogical rec. of all the persons bearing the surname Gushing in

298 ■ Hersey.
HERSEY.
Variously written Hersee, Harsie, and Hearsey, on early records.
1. William, was tlie progenitor of all who have borne this surname
in Hing. and vie. He came to Kew Eng. in 1635, and early in the
autumn of that yr. located in Hing. with others who were passengers
on the ship he came in. July 3, 1636, he had a house-lot of five acres
granted him, on what is now South, nearly opp. West St. The lot
was bounded east by John Winchester, west by William Buckland,
and included within its limits the est. now owned by heirs of the late
Ebenezer Gay, Esq. The surname Hersey, or Hersy, is a very ancient
one, and prob. of French origin, as it appears among the list of noble-
men and gentlemen who went over to Eng. with William the Con-
queror. In Hing. it is still one of the more numerous of the surnames
of the early settlers ; and it has well represented the industrious as
well as the enterprising and influential portion of the inhabitants of
the town. At the time of the trouble about the election of officers
for the train band, 1644-1645, William Hersey was assessed a heavy fine
for supporting the views of Eev. Peter Hobart and his friends ; and
the family rate towards the erection of the new meeting-house was
the largest but one upon the list. He was undoubtedly a native of
Eng., and perh. of Old Hing. ; but the place and date of his birth have
not as yet been definitely ascertained. The chris. name of his w. was
Elizabeth. She d. in Hing. 8 Oct. 1671. He d. 22 March, 1657-68. In
his will, dated March 9, 1657-58, proved 29 Apr. foil., gives to s. Wil-
liam '' ye house and home Lott that he now Lives in and ye penn
plott before his gate, and ye Lott I bought of Matthew Chafey at ye
Capts Tent," etc. ; also valuables to sons John and James ; to dau's
"Francis" (Frances), Elizabeth, and Judith, £5 each ; "to my grand
children John Croade and William Hersie, 40s. each. All ye rest of
my Land, housing, goods, etc., to my wife Elizabeth during her life as
a widow." Wife Elizabeth, executrix. Overseers, "cousine John
Farrington, Thomas Marsh, and my sonne in Law Richard Croade."

buck. She was bt. in Hing. Apr. 1641, and d. 1 June, 1686, set. 45

hamah. There is no entry of this m'ge., however, nor of her death,
on Hing. rec's. William d. 28 Sept. 1691. In his will, made in 1689,

HOBART (Hubbabd).
1. Edmund, from Hing. County of Norfolk, Eng,, and b. in that
parish, ab. 1570, was the ancestor of all who have borne this surname
by birth in our Hing. or its vie. He arrived at Charlestown, 1633, and
with his s. Thomas, and several others, came to "Bare Cove," the same
yr. (See Lincoln's " History of Hingham," pp. 41 and 156), prob. for
the purpose of assisting in establishing a new plantation or township.
It is generally thought, however, that he did not locate here perma-
nently until the arrival of his s. the Eev. Peter Hobart, and those whO'
came with him. He was one of the early settlers who drew their
house-lots on Town (ISTorth) St., on the 18th of Sept. 1635 ; Edmund's
lot being the 17th, while Kos. 18 and 19 were granted to two of his sons.
His first w., Margaret Dewey, was the mother of his ch. His sec. w.^
whom he m. at Charlestown, Oct. 10, 1634, was Mrs. Sarah Lyford,.
the wid. of Eev. John Lyford. The dates of his, and of his sec. w.'s
decease, are recorded in Hobart's Diary as foil. : '' March 8, 1646,
father Hubbeard dyed." " June 23, 1649, mother Hobart dyed." He,
therefore, at the time of his decease, was ab. 76 yrs. of age. Eesided
opp. Hobart's Bridge, North St. Freeman, IVIarch 4, 1634 ; constable

with other members of his fa.'s fam. in 1633. In 1635 he removed
to our Hing., and Sept. 15 of that yr. drew a house-lot on Town St.
Other lots for planting purposes were granted him at subsequent,
dates. The chris. name of his w. whom he m. in Eng. was Elizabeth.

of Arts in 1629. He was ni. in Eng. and came to New Eng, with his
w. and four ch., arriving at Charlestown in June, 1635. On the first
page of a journal which he kept, giving a rec. of the baptisms, mar-
riages, and deaths, which came under his notice during his ministry
of nearly 44 yrs. in our Hing., is the foil. : " I with my wife and
four children came safely to New England June ye 8 : 1635 : for ever
praysed be the god of Heaven my god and king." In Sept. foil, he
settled in our Hing., and on the 18th of that month received a grant
of a house-lot on Town (North) St. He also had other grants of land
for planting purposes. He was twice m., his last w. being Rebecca,
dau. of Richard Ibrook. She d. here 9 Sept. 1693, set. 72 yrs. ; and

JOHNSON.
1. Humphrey^ prob. s. of John^, an early resident of Eoxbury,
and whose names appear in this relation in a mortgage deed dated
"22° of the 7° month, 1643" (S. D.), "was a resident of Scituate,"
says Deane's History, " in 1651." He seems to have been a man of
ability and shrewdness, but inclined to make trouble both with the
town and Colony officials, as will be seen by the foil, extract from the
Colony records : " 1673. Humphrey Johnson, having come into this
Government without leave of the Governor and two of the Assist-
ants (contrary to law), is now ordered to remove his dwelling and
cottage, erected within the town of Scituate, within one month from
the date hereof, or else order shall be given for the pulling down
thereof." He shortly after became a resident of Hing., as will be
seen by the foil. : " The 30"" day of March, 1674, vpon the request
of H%imphrey Johnson of Hingham, the selectmen of Hingham, on the
behalf of the Towne granted the said Humphrey Johnson liberty to
remove his house off Scituate Land vnto Hingham Towne Common
Land, and he is to remove it off Hingham Land againe at three
months warning." On the 22d of Apr. 1675, he was granted certain
privileges for improvements by the selectmen, and admonished, con-
cerning the establishing of certain fence lines, " to regard the matter
quietly." He was twice m. Eleanor, his first w., d. in Hing. 28

JONES (JOANES).
1. Egbert, one of the early planters of Hing. was the ancestor of
nearly all the families who have borne the surname Jones in this town.
Richard and Thomas Jones received grants of land here in 1637 and
1638, but neither of these appear to have been residents of the town.
A Richard Jones of Dor. d. in 1642 ; and a Thomas Jones d. there in
1667. There were Thomas Joneses also among the very early settlers
of Charlestown, Concord, Newbury, Gloucester, Taunton, Springfield,
Boston, and other places. Abraham Jones of Hull, 1657, was the
fa. of seven sons, viz. : Benjamin, Thomas, Abraham, Josiah, Joseph,
John, and Ephraim. But how any of the foregoing were connected
with our Hing. fam. of Jones, if at all, is not clear. At the time
the new meeting-house was built in Hing., 1680-81, there were but
three persons of the surname Jones upon the tax-lists, viz. : Robeit,.
Jones. 387
Joseph, Sr., and Joseph, Jr. ; i. e., father, son, and grandson. The re-
corded wills and conveyances in Suffolk County, as well as the facts
furnished by our local records and tax-lists, will throw much light
upon the subject to those who seek further information relating
thereto.
Robert Jones, according to the Genealogical Dictionary prepared by
Mr. Savage, removed from here to Rehoboth ab. 1644, but soon re-
turned again to Hing. He prob. was twice m. ; but the name of his
first w. is unk. to the writer. The chris. name of his sec. w. was
Elizabeth. She outlived him, and d, in Hing. 25 Sept. 1712. He d.
17 Nov. 1691. In his will, dated at Hing. 20 Apr. 1688, he gives vari-
ous small sums in shillings and pence " to sons Joseph, John, and
Benjamin the elder ; also to daughters Sarah Belknap, and Jane Col-
lyer (Collier), and to my grand children which are the children of my
son Robert Jones, deceased ; all of which sums of money are to be
paid them at my now dwelling-house in Hingham. To my wife Eliz-
abeth all my whole estate of houses, lauds, and orchards, and all my
meadows and shares in the commons and commonage which I possess
either by gift or purchase or exchange ; . . . and because my estate
is but small I do hereby give my said wife full power to sell some of
the said land to supply her immediate necessities," etc. He also be-
queaths " to my son Benjamin Jones the younger, which the said
Elizabeth my wife bear unto me, all my said estate after the death of
his mother." Witnesses, James Hawke, Theophilus Cushing, Daniel
Gushing. " Farmer ; " or, as he calls himself in his will, " planter."
Resided at Hing. Centre, " over the river."
