This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.  Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

JANUAKY,  1914 


HENRY  FITZGILBERT  WATERS,  A.M. 

Bt  James  Kendall  Hosmbr,  Ph.D.,  LL.D.,  of  Minneapolis,  Minn. 

The  statement  will  probably  pass  without  challenge  that  Henry 
FitzGilbert  Waters  was  in  America  the  most  eminent  antiquarian  of 
his  time,  perhaps  of  all  times.  The  scope  of  his  investigations  was 
wide,  embracing  not  only  New  England,  but  the  Middle  States  and 
the  South.  As  regards  a  multitude  of  families  he  threw  light  upon 
the  matter  of  lineage,  putting  thereby  large  numbers  under  obliga- 
tion to  him.  As  the  tracer  of  the  genealogies  of  characters  of  his- 
torical importance,  Roger  Williams,  John  Harvard,  and  Washington, 
he  put  the  whole  country  in  debt.  The  passing  of  a  man  so  gifted 
and  useful,  which  occurred  at  Salem,  Mass.,  on  16  August  1913, 
requires  special  mention  in  the  pages  of  the  Register,  a  journal 
devoted  to  the  studies  in  which  Mr.  Waters  made  himself  illustrious 
and  the  principal  medium  through  which  he  made  his  discoveries 
known. 

He  was  bom  at  Salem  29  March  1833.  His  line  was  honorable, 
running  back  to  the  foundation  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  and  both  for 
his  father  and  mother  the  pedigree  may  be  clearly  traced,  on  both 
sides  of  the  purest  New  England  strain.  His  father,  Hon.  Joseph 
Gilbert  Waters,  bom  at  Salem  5  July  1796,  was  fifth  in  descent 
from  Lawrence  Waters,  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Watertown,  Mass., 
and  afterwards  of  Lancaster,  Mass.,  the  line  consisting  of  Lawrence,* 
Stephen,*  Benjamin,*  Benjamin,*  Joseph,*  and  Joseph  Gilbert.* 
Joseph  Gilbert  Waters  was  a  Harvard  graduate  of  the  Class  of  1816, 
a  lawyer  by  profession,  the  editor  for  several  years  of  the  Salem 
Observer  J  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Senate  in  1835,  and  for 
more  than  forty  years  a  justice  of  the  Police  Court  at  Salem.  He 
died  12  July  1878.  His  wife,  whom  he  married  8  December  1825, 
was  Eliza  Greenleaf  Townsend,  who  was  born  at  Salem  17  January 
179H  and  died  13  November  1890,  daughter  of  Capt.  Penn  Town- 
send,  a  notable  Essex  worthy,  and  his  wife  Mary,  who  was  the  daugh- 
ter of  Addison  and  Mary  (Greenleaf)  Richardson.  Their  son  had 
no  vainglorious  pride  of  birth,  but  an  affectionate  interest  in  the 
chain  of  honest  sires  from  whom  he  drew  his  blood. 


VOL.  Lxvni. 


4  Henry  FitzOilbert  Waters  [Jan. 

In  1842  Henry  FitzGilbert  Waters  entered  a  private  school  at 
Salem,  kept  by  Jonathan  Fox  Worcester,  A.M.,  M.D.,  a  son  of 
Rev.  Samuel  Worcester,  S.T.D.,  and  a  graduate  of  Dartmouth 
College.  He  remained  for  six  or  seven  years  under  Dr.  Worcester's 
tuition,  and  then  he  entered  the  Public  Latin  School,  of  which  Oliver 
Carlton,  A.M.,  also  a  Dartmouth  graduate,  was  master.  I  came 
into  personal  touch  with  Waters  when,  as  boys  of  about  eight- 
een, we  entered  Harvard  College  in  1851,  members  of  the  Class  of 
1855.  He  became  almost  at  once  my  most  intimate  friend,  and 
although  in  after  years  our  paths  diverged  widely,  we  met  at  inter- 
vals, rather  remarkably  at  critical  moments,  and  our  friendship  and 
sympathy  remained  unabated.  As  a  boy  he  was  of  medium  stature, 
slender  and  alert,  bright-eyed,  with  delicate  features,  among  which 
the  nose,  clear-cut  and  pronounced,  was  noticeable.  Quite  strange- 
ly his  hair,  even  when  a  freshman,  was  streaked  with  gray,  a  pecu- 
liarity which  was  said  to  have  called  out  from  Jared  Sparks,  then 
president,  an  outburst  of  laughter :  "  A  gray-haired  freshman  1 
^Vhat  an  idea  I  "  It  was  not  a  sign  of  decrepitude.  He  was  vig- 
orous in  body  then  and  always,  active  with  some  intervals  of  illness 
to  fourscore. 

Waters  came  to  college  with  James  Arthur  Emmerton,  his  friend 
almost  from  the  cradle,  a  man  who  also  in  later  years  developed  in- 
to a  notable  antiquary.  They  were  chums  throughout  their  college 
life,  and  closely  bound  together  up  to  Emmerton's  death.  Together 
they  travelled  and  made  researches,  Emmerton  supplying  the  means 
from  his  longer  purse,  and  when  he  died  equipping  his  companion 
sufficiently  to  carry  on  his  work.  It  was  a  beautiful  union  of  kin- 
dred spirits  and  memorable  in  its  results,  for  Waters  could  hardly 
have  accomplished  his  great  tasks  had  not  Emmerton  lent  him  his 
sturdy  shoulder.  I  think  they  were  the  most  popular  men  of  our 
class.  They  were  genial,  and  their  room  was  a  common  ground 
where  aU  came  together.  The  various  cliques,  the  rich  and  the 
poor.  Northerners  and  Southerners,  the  nobs  and  the  neglected,  all 
somehow  felt  at  ease  with  Envnerton  and  Waters,  and  I  wonder 
how  they  found  a  chance  to  study  in  the  influx  that  passed  over  their 
hoppitable  threshold.  The  atmosphere  was  delightful,  though  over- 
thick  often  with  tobacco  smoke.  Waters  indeed  smoked  little,  if 
ever ;  but  Emmerton,  of  burlier  mould,  maintained  a  pipe  whose 
capacious  bowl  fumed  always  with  some  strong  mixture.  My  own 
lips  had  never  been  profaned  by  cigar  or  meerschaum,  but  when  in 
a  momentary  lapse  from  virtue  I  applied  once  to  Emmerton  for  a 
pipe,  he  provided  me,  with  a  smile  I  thought  benignant  but  which 
was  only  mischievous,  with  a  blend  of  the  blackest  and  strongest. 
I  took  a  whifF  or  two  with  consequences  so  dire  that  I  never  tried 
to  smoke  again  till  I  reached  the  age  of  seventy-four.  As  now  at 
eighty  I  puff  serenely,  I  ponder  whether  I  should  bless  or  regret 
that  old  experience.     Did  it  healthfully  shut  me  off  for  sixty  years 


1914]  Henry  FitzGHlbert  Waters  5 

from  a  small  time-  and  pence-consuming  vice,  or  was  I  then  and 
there  cozened  out  of  a  pleasant  solace  that  might  have  blunted  the 
edge  for  me  of  many  a  rasping  quandary  ?  Though  a  bit  clouded, 
the  atmosphere  in  which  these  Salem  chums  were  involved  was  never 
otherwise  than  kind  and  wholesome.  They  were  hilarious,  but  al- 
ways clean  in  their  walk  and  conversation,  exemplary  in  their  ideals, 
encouragers  of  scholarship  as  well  as  good-fellowship,  and  for  their 
own  comfort  perhaps  too  kindly  sympathetic.  Waters  was  never 
anything  in  those  days  but  "  Fitz,"  as  our  classmate  Phillips  Brooks 
was  usually  ** Phillips" ;  and  I  recall  a  freshman  bon  mot  which  may 
be  worth  recording.  A  question  arising  as  to  the  adequacy  of  our 
class  for  some  emergency,  some  one  defiantly  exclaimed :  "  With 
Waters  we'll  give  them  fits,  and  with  Brooks  we'll  give  them  fillips  !  " 

I  went  several  times  to  Waters's  home  in  Salem,  the  old  seaport 
which  sixty  years  ago  still  retained  much  of  the  character  that  had 
marked  it  in  the  days  of  "  Billy  Gray  "  and  "  King  Derby."  Stout 
little  ships  lay  at  the  wharves  with  cargoes  of  palm-oil,  cocoanuts, 
and  East  Indian  tissues  from  the  Orient,  and  bluff,  weather-beaten 
boys  of  my  own  age,  with  old  Salem  names,  paced  the  decks,  mates 
and  supercargoes,  sometimes  before  the  mast,  already  veteran  sailors, 
incipient  captains  in  a  world-encircling  commerce.  The  old  East 
India  Museum,  pimgent  with  strange  spicy  odors,  displayed  what 
to  an  inland  boy  like  myself  was  a  wonderful  show — curious  fabrics, 
things  marvellously  carved  and  lacquered,  strange  monsters  of  the 
sea  and  land,  queued  and  turbaned  counterfeits  of  far-away  mag- 
nates and  merchants.  On  the  shore  stood  the  famous  custom-house, 
whose  presiding  spirit  a  few  years  before  had  been  Nathaniel  Haw- 
thorne. You  found  in  the  homes,  in  air  faintly  fragrant  with  sandal- 
wood, oriental  tapestries,  uncouth  bric-k-brac,  models  of  notable 
ships  that  had  fought  pirates  in  the  China  seas  or  foundered  amid 
typhoons — ^these  housed  in  colonial  structures,  quaint  and  graceful. 

The  home  of  Waters  had  distinctly  the  Salem  marks,  and  the 
household  was  representative.  His  father  had  had  an  honorable 
career  as  magistrate  and  editor,  and  his  intelligence  was  pervaded 
with  pleasant  humor.  His  mother  was  a  gentle  and  stately  lady 
of  the  old  school,  by  birth  and  breeding  informed  with  the  town's 
best  traditions.  I  recall  as  particularly  interesting  my  classmate's 
elder  brother  Joseph,  indeed  a  most  friendly  and  vivacious  character. 
He  began  his  career  as  the  "  Collector's  Junior  Clerk  "  in  the  custom- 
house, under  Hawthorne,  and  figures  as  such  in  the  famous  prologue 
to  the  Scarlet  Letter.  In  a  dare-devil  adventure  he  had  at  one  time 
penetrated  to  a  wild  and  ouUandish  settiement  called  Chicago, 
Returning  safely  thence,  he  never  after  left  Salem,  I  think,  quite 
content  that  henceforth  Cape  Ann  and  Marblehead  should  boimd 
his  excursions.  He  was  charming  in  his  naive  limitations,  a  good 
story-teller,  and  overflowing  in  Und  offices.  I  remember  to  this 
day  a  dish  of  his  own  concocting,  set  off  with  East  Indian  curry,  a 


6  Henry  FitzGilbert  Waters  [Jan. 

condiment  then  little  known,  of  which  I  had  never  heard.  There 
was  strange  drink  also,  of  equally  remote  derivation.  The  novel 
and  toothsome  fare,  the  repartee,  anecdote,  and  laughter  which  per- 
vaded the  strange  aromatic  steam,  the  broad  good-heartedness,  inteiv 
ftised  with  honest  and  innocent  parochial  enthusiasm,  made  it  a  true 
Salem  repast,  t)rpical  and  delightful.  My  classmate  was  very  happy 
in  his  home  environment,  and  I  can  see  now  that  the  boy  was  father 
of  the  man. 

Things  associated  with  history  interested  him  as  they  did  me. 
Here  as  in  most  ways  our  tastes  were  congenial.  We  were  good 
walkers,  and  tramped  together  untiring  to  the  historic  spots.  He 
showed  me  Gallows  Hill,  where  the  witches  were  hanged,  and  the 
bridge  where  the  Salemites  claim  that  armed  resistance  to  British 
authority  was  made  before  the  Concord  fight.  We  tramped  round 
the  bay  to  the  old  fort,  which  sheltered  the  Constitution^  fieeing 
before  the  English  fleet  in  the  War  of  1812,  and  pondered  the 
scratches  on  the  old  desk,  made  by  Hawthorne's  penknife  as  he 
evolved  the  tragedy  of  poor  Hester  Prynne.  Once,  while  crossing 
a  street,  he  called  my  attention  to  a  cobblestone  in  the  pavement  of 
the  gutter  which  his  foot  had  just  pressed.  "  I  always  trod  on  that 
•particular  stone,'*  said  he,  "  going  to  and  coming  from  school  through- 
out my  boyhood,  and  it  would  hurt  me  to  tread  on  any  other  as  I 
cross/'  a  small  cropping-out  of  the  steadfastness  and  method  which 
served  him  to  such  good  purpose  later. 

At  graduation  no  one  of  our  men  was  more  universally  liked  and 
respected  than  he.  Others  surpassed  him  in  scholarship,  though 
here  he  was  soimd  and  broad.  There  were  brilliant  fellows  who 
shone  later  in  fields  more  directly  under  the  world's  gaze  than  the 
one  he  chose,  but  we  all  confided  in  the  warm  heart  and  good  head 
of  Fitz.  Nathan  was  not  franker  or  more  fearless  with  "Thou 
art  the  man  "  than  he  was,  if  a  companion  slipped.  He  heartened 
the  desponding  and  acclaimed  without  envy  the  successful,  a  concil- 
iator in  quarrels  and  a  counsellor  to  men  perplexed.  He  was  truth- 
ful, often  bluntly  so,  and  insincerity  in  others  withered  under  his 
word  and  gaze. 

Waters's  chief  fault,  perhaps,  was  a  lack  of  ambition.  After 
graduation  he  studied  for  no  profession,  but  without  definite  aim 
opened  in  the  fall  of  1855  a  little  private  school  in  Salem,  of  which 
he  continued  in  charge  until,  compelled  by  illness  to  lay  aside 
all  business,  he  gave  it  up,  1  May  1859,  to  his  old  master,  Oliver 
Carlton,  Esq.  He  remained  without  employment  until  the  fall  of 
1861,  when  he  gave  proof  of  his  devotion  to  the  cause  of  the  Union 
by  enlisting  as  a  corporal  in  Co.  F,  Twenty-Third  Regiment  of 
Massachusetts  Volunteers.*     He  went  to  North  Carolina  in  the

**  Bumside  expedition,"  and  shortly  after  the  victories  at  Roanoke 
Island  and  Newbem,  having  been  incapacitated  for  active  service 
by  exposure  in  the  swamps  of  Roanoke,  which  resulted  in  severe 
chronic  rheumatism,  he  was,  at  the  request  of  his  fnend.  Dr.  George 
Derby,  surgeon  in  the  Twenty-Third  Massachusetts  Volunteers, 
detailed  for  duty  as  his  clerk  at  the  Academy  Green  General  Hos- 
pital. There  he  remained,  under  Dr.  Derby  and  his  successor. 
Dr.  Clayton  A.  Cowgill  of  Delaware,  until  Dr.  Cowgill  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  charge  of  the  Stanly  General  Hospital.  There  being 
no  likelihood  that  he  would  ever  again  be  fitted  for  active  service  in 
the  field,  Waters  gave  up  his  corporal's  warrant  in  favor  of  one  of 
his  comrades  in  Co.  F,  and  was  retained  as  the  clerk  of  Dr.  Cowgill 
while  the  latter  filled  the  various  oflSces  of  surgeon  in  charge  of  the 
Stanly  General  Hospital,  of  acting  medical  inspector  and  superin- 
tendent of  all  the  hospitals  in  North  Carolina,  and  finally  of  surgeon 
in  charge  of  the  Foster  General  Hospital,  into  which  all  the  hospitals 
in  Newbem  had  been  merged.  At  the  expiration  of  his  term  of 
service,  28  September  1864,  Waters,  although  he  had  received  his 
**  discharge  "  and  was  free  to  return  to  his  home,  felt  that  his  further 
services  in  the  hospital  were  needed,  and  disregarding  the  personal 
risk  which  he  ran,  he  continued  them  without  pay,  until  he  was 
prostrated  in  the  following  month  by  yellow  fever,  which  had  been 
raging  violently  in  Newbem  since  the  first  week  in  August  of  that 
year.  When  he  began  to  convalesce,  he  was  sent  to  Morehead 
City,  by  the  seashore,  where  on  the  very  next  day  he  had  a  relapse 
and  was  reduced  so  low  that  he  was  reported  dead  in  Newbem. 
Nevertheless,  having  regained  a  little  strength  and  having  learned 
that  Dr.  Cowgill  had  been  taken  down  with  the  fever.  Waters  went 
back  to  Newbem  to  render  what  little  service  he  could.  On  Dr. 
Cowgill's  recovery,  as  Waters  still  remained  "  weak  and  almost  good 
for  nothing"  (to  use  his  own  words),  he  determined  to  return  to 
the  North,  and  left  Morehead  City  5  November  1864  by  steamer 
for  New  York.  Late  in  December  of  the  same  year  he  started  again 
for  the  South,  going  to  St.  Helena  Island,  near  Beaufort,  S.  C. 
There  he  was  induced  by  his  friend,  Capt.  Joseph  A.  Goldthwait, 
port  commissary  at  Beaufort,  to  accept  for  a  time  the  position  of 
chief  clerk  in  his  office.  Sherman  had  just  taken  Savannah,  and 
was  making  preparations  for  his  march  through  the  Carolinas,  so 
that  Wdters  and  his  assistants  had  plenty  of  work,  as,  although  few 
in  number,  they  were  obliged  to  provision  the  whole  Army  of  the 
Tennessee.  Finally,  in  May  1865,  Waters  came  back  to  the  North, 
and,  although  he^  had  borne  arms  for  his  country  and  had  defied 
disease  that  he  might  minister  to  the  inmates  of  the  hospitals,  he  per- 
sistently refused,  with  delicate  honor,  to  receive  a  pension,  in  spite 
of  the  exigencies  of  later  years.  We  met  after  a  ten  years'  sep- 
aration, at  Cambridge,  on  Commemoration  Day  in  1865.  Our 
dass  had  done  well  for  the  country.     Our  soldiers  were  twenty-four

in  number,  among  them  two  major-generals,  four  colonels,  and 
others  of  lesser  grade.  Of  the  rank  and  file,  I  think,  were  only 
Waters  and  I,  both  of  us  corporals.  The  spirit  of  the  day  was  to 
efface  all  rank,  and  we  both  were  pressed  by  Barlow  and  Hayes, 
the  major-generals,  and  by  colonels,  majors,  and  captains,  to  march 
side  by  side  with  them  in  the  line.  We  held  aloof,  however,  and 
strode  together  in  the  dignity  of  our  chevrons,  for  the  last  tune 
in  our  army  blue,  to  the  beat  of  the  drum. 

The  occupations  of  Waters  now  for  a  decade  or  so  seemed  to 
those  not  close  to  him  to  be,  for  the  strong  man  that  he  wa«,  some- 
what trifling  and  desultory.  He  had  no  regular  vocation,  engaged 
not  earnestly  in  educational  work,  collected  old  furniture,  and  pored 
over  old  documents.  In  a  visit  to  him  in  these  years  I  found  him 
transferred  from  his  old  home  to  an  ample  and  dignified  mansion  of 
a  former  type  on  Salem  Common,  which  he  had  crowded  from  attic 
to  cellar  with  ancient  furniture  and  bric-k-brac,  Elizabethan  side- 
boards, quaint  dressers  and  tables,  venerable  beds  "with  testers, 
columnar  clocks,  andirons,  warming  pans,  candlesticks,  loggerheads, 
a  multifarious  assortment  of  colonial  belongings  large  and  small. 
The  craze  for  such  accumulations  was  then  not  marked  in  the  com- 
m  unity.  As  a  collector  he  was  early  in  the  field,  and  had  an  ab- 
normal acuteness  and  zest  in  detecting  things  rare  and  valuable. 
His  gracious  and  stately  mother,  now  widowed,  presided  among 
these  venerable  objects,  a  befitting  environment  for  such  a  beautiful 
lady  of  the  old  school.  Among  this  venerable  oak  and  old  china 
she  moved  in  gown  and  cap  of  fashion  as  venerable ;  and  at  h&r 
side  still  stood  the  elder  son,  the  delightful  Joe,  the  same  who  had 
been  suspected  by  Hawthorne  in  the  custom-house  of  writing  poetry, 
who  had  escaped  unharmed  from  his  rash  incursion  among  the  bulls 
and  bears  of  remote  Chicago,  and  had  returned  contentedly  to  his 
quiet  Salem  nook  for  a  lifelong  stay.  Both  he  and  Fitz  stuck  to 
bachelorhood,  a  practice  over-esteemed  among  genuine  Salemites. 
In  the  case  of  either  an  affair  of  the  heart  was  unthinkable,  and  yet 
more  genial  and  charming  men  never  as  hosts  welcomed  a  friend. 
Waters  was  full  of  stories.  This  fine  wainscoting  had  revealed 
itself  after  he  had  painfully  for  days  scraped  off  layers  of  disfiguring 
paint,  and  that  rare  bit  he  had  detected  built  into  a  hencoop  in  an 
ancient  shed.  The  prizes  which  commonly  stimulate  men,  fame 
and  fortune,  had  no  lure  for  him,  but  the  odd  fish  was  finding  his 
appropriate  water.  Emmerton,  always  his  friend,  a  kindred  spirit 
and  close  at  hand,  had  studied  medicine,  but  had  soon  forsaken  it 
as  a  profession.  There  were  old  parish  registers  and  court  files  long 
pigeon-holed,  which  it  might  be  worth  while  to  go  through.  Em- 
merton turned  to  that  task,  and  finding  that  the  stores  at  hand 
yielded  a  good  result,  he  went  to  England  to  seek  further. 

In   all  this  work  Waters  was  his  close  associate.     These  two 
friends  spent  several  months  in  England  in  the  summer  and  autunm

of  1879,  and  some  of  the  results  of  their  researches  in  the  Principal 
Registry  of  Probate  at  Somerset  House,  in  the  Public  Record  Of- 
fice, and  in  the  British  Museum  were  published,  in  the  shape  of 
brief  abstracts  bf  wills,  inquisitions  post  mortem,  and  fine  rolls,  in 
the  Easex  Institute  Historical  Collections^''^  beginning  in  Jan- 
uary 1880,  and  were  reprinted  in  an  octavo  volume  of  148  pages, 
entitled  "Gleanings  from  English  Records  about  New  England 
Families,"  Salem,  1880.  The  unusual  gifts  and  equipment  of  Wa- 
ters for  antiquarian  work  now  became  plainly  apparent.  In  review- 
ing this  book  in  the  Register  for  October  1880,  f  the  late  John 
Tyler  Hassam,  A.M.,  of  Boston,  at  that  time  prominent  in  the 
counsels  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  and 
later  the  leading  member  of  the  committee  of  the  Society  that 
arranged  for  Waters's  work  in  England,  wrote:  "Mr.  Waters 
stands  in  the  front  rank  of  New  England  antiquaries.  Few  men 
have  done  such  good  and  faithful  service  in  the  past,  and  few  give 
greater  promise  of  accomplishing  more  in  the  future.  He  has  long 
been  a  worker  in  the  vineyard.  Few  men  have  crossed  the  ocean 
better  prepared  by  previous  training  and  experience,  by  precise  and 
accurate  knowledge  of  our  early  history  and  antiquities,  and  by 
familiarity  with  the  records  and  traditions  of  New  England  families 
and  the  endless  ramifications  of  their  genealogies,  to  appreciate  and 
improve  the  opportunity,  so  kindly  and  generously  offered  him,  of 
exploring  the  inexhaustible  stores  of  antiquarian  and  historical  mate- 
rijd  in  England."  In  closing  his  review  Mr.  Hassam  expressed  the 
hope  that  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  might 
**  at  some  future  time  be  endowed  with  funds  suflScient  to  enable  it 
to  maintain  an  accredited  agent  in  the  mother  country  constantly 
engaged  in  such  researches  as  these." 

Two  years  later,  on  3  October  1882,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  Mr. 
Hassam  returned  to  the  subject  of  genealogical  work  in  England, 
and  spoke  "  upon  the  desirability,  since  the  death  of  Col.  Chester, 
of  having  a  competent  person  in  London  to  make  genealogical  re- 
searches for  the  English  ancestry  of  American  families."  He  stated 
that  several  persons  had  expressed  a  wish  that  Mr.  Waters,  who 
was  at  that  time  a  member  of  the  Publishing  Committee  of  the  So- 
ciety, could  be  induced  to  take  up  his  residence  in  London  and  en- 
gage in  such  researches,  and  he  was  able  to  announce  to  the  Board 
that  Mr.  Waters  had  offered  to  devote  his  time  to  the  investigation 
of  the  English  pedigrees  of  American  families,  if  $1500  a  year  for 
three  years  could  be  secured  to  him.  On  Mr.  Hassam's  motion  a 
committee  was  appointed,  consisting  of  Mr.  Hassam  himself,  of  Hon. 
James  W*.  Austin,  and  of  John  Ward  Dean,  Esq.,  with  authority 
to  open  a  subscription  to  raise  the  money,  if  they  deemed  it  advis-

able.*  The  efforts  of  this  committee  to  secure  the  necessary  funds 
were  successful,  and  on  1  May  1883,  after  Mr.  Hassam  had  re- 
ported to  the  Board  of  Directors  that  upwards  of  twp  thousand  dol- 
lars had  been  subscribed,  it  was,  on  his  motion,  voted  by  the  Board  : 
"  That  the  committee  on  English  Records  be,  and  they  hereby  are, 
authorized  to  secure  the  services  of  Henry  F.  Waters  on  such  terms 
as  may  seem  to  them  expedient,  provided,  however,  that  this  society 
be  not  made  pecuniarily  liable  in  a  sum  exceeding  that  which  shall 
be  subscribed  and  paid  in  for  the  purpose  of  searching  said  records."  f 

The  subscription  lists  started  by  the  committee  were  circulated 
also  by  and  among  members  of  sister  societies,  and  in  particular 
many  leading  members  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  not 
only  manifested  the  warmest  interest  in  Waters's  researches  but 
were  ever  ready  to  contribute  towards  defi^ying  the  expense  of  the 
work  and  to  solicit  subscriptions  from  others.  J  The  largest  indi- 
vidual contributor  to  the  fund  was  James  Jimius  Goodwin,  LL.D., 
of  Hartford,  Conn.,  while  the  alumni  of  Harvard  College  and  es- 
pecially the  Harvard  Club  of  New  York  furnished  the  means  for 
carrying  on  the  search  for  the  ancestry  of  John  Harvard. 

Waters  now  entered  fairly  into  the  labors  which  he  made  so  fruit- 
ful. On  5  May  1883  he  sailed  on  the  Catalonia  from  Boston  for 
England,  and  at  once  began  his  researches  in  Somerset  House, 
London.  In  the  Register  for  July  1883§  were  printed  the  results 
of  his  first  few  days  of  work  among  the  records  of  the  Prerogative 
Court  of  Canterbury ;  and  from  that  time  down  to  and  including 
the  issue  for  January  1899  every  number  of  the  Register  except 
three  (those  for  October  1897  and  for  July  and  October  1898) 
contained  an  article  from  his  pen  embodying  the  results  of  his 
researches  among  the  English  records.  These  articles,  with  the 
exception  of  the  two  entitled  "John  Harvard  and  his  Ancestry," 
appeared  under  the  heading  of  "  Genealogical  Gleanings  in  Eng- 
land,'* and  if  we  include  among  them  the  two  Harvard  articles, 
were  distributed  in  sixty  different  instalments  and  appeared  in 
seventeen  different  years.  They  were  reprinted  by  the  New  Eng- 
land Historic  Genealogical  Society  in  1901  in  two  bulky  volumes, 
with  an  introduction  by  Mr.  Hassam,  of  which  frequent  use  has 
been  made  in  preparing  parts  of  this  memoir. 

Waters's  methods  of  research  were  very  different  from  those  of 
his  lamented  predecessor  in  the  same  field.  Col.  Joseph  Lemuel 
Chester,  whose  services  in  throwing  light  on  the  English  origin  of 
American  families  and  in  preparing  for  publication  English  records 
cannot  be  valued  too  highly.  Col.  Chester  met  with  great  success 
in  tracing*  the  history  of  particular  families.     "  Mr.  Waters's  me-

thod,"  said  President  Goodell  of  the  New  England  Historic  Grenea- 
logical  Society,  in  presenting  him  as  the  speaker  of  the  day  at  a 
meeting  of  the  Society  in  Boston,  2  March  1887,  "is  to  examine  all 
the  records  between  certain  dates,  seriatim^  keeping  a  sharp  look- 
out for  everything  possibly  indicative  of  the  slightest  connection 
with  known  American  families."*  In  a  letter  from  London,  dated 
13  May  1884  and  written  to  Prof.  E.  N.  Horsford  of  Cambridge, 
Mass.,  the  antiquary  mentions  his  "laborious  but  fascinating  work, 
in  the  gloomy  cellar  of  Somerset  House,  of  exhuming  the  records 
of  a  buried  past,"  and  refers  to  his  method  of  research  as  follows : 
"  I  take  the  records  consecutively,  looking  over  each  page  and  mak- 
ing such  references  as  seem  worth  noting.  I  occasionally  make 
excursions  when  the  trail  seems  broad  and  clear,  ....  but  I  in- 
tend generally  to  oonfine  myself  to  the  period  a  little  before  the 
migrations  of  1628-30  and  the  next  half  century."f  By  far  the 
greater  part  of  the  time  spent  by  Waters  in  England  was  devoted 
to  this  reading  of  the  wills  in  Somerset  House.  He  seldom  visited 
other  depositories  of  records — at  any  rate  he  did  little  work  outside 
of  London,  except  when  now  and  then  some  great  quest,  such  as 
his  search  for  the  ancestors  of  John  Harvard,  called  him  to  other 
fields.  "Here  [in  Somerset  House],"  continued  President  Goodell 
in  the  remarks  from  which  I  have  already  quoted,  "  by  his  special 
skill  in  interpreting  the  records,  and  the  generous  interest  he  mani- 
fested in  the  labors  of  others  whom  he  there  found  engaged  in  sim- 
ilar researches,  and  the  aid  he  ever  cheerfully  afforded  to  these  co- 
workers, he  soon  began  to  enjoy  exceptional  opportunities  for  prose- 
cuting his  labors  with  the  greatest  economy  of  time,  and  secured  the 
cooperation  of  his  fellow-workers,  who  generously  reciprocated  his 
attentions  to  their  wants. "$ 

The  world  minimizes  too  much  the  value  of  such  pursuits.  The 
Chinese  worship  of  ancestors  is  of  course  an  absurdity,  and  among 
us  there  are  perhaps  some  who  take  pains  overmuch  ii^  running  back 
lines  of  descent.  But  heredity,  in  conjunction  with  environment, 
in  great  part  determines  that  we  are  what  we  are,  and  surely  it  is 
interesting  and  most  instructive,  in  one's  own  case  and  in  the  case 
of  eminent  men,  to  trace  the  links  of  the  chain  through  which  mys- 
teriously the  present  derives  from  the  past  its  vitality  and  soul. 
Waters  was  bom  for  such  work.  He  told  me  once  that  nothing 
appealed  to  him  so  intensely,  no  novel  or  poem  or  strain  of  music 
or  work  of  art,  as  the  dusty  documents  which  were  the  means  to 
the  ends  he  sought.  These  he  read  literally  by  the  hundred  thou- 
sand, and  no  detective  ever  caught  more  acutely  at  the  obscure  clues 
in  an  investigation  or  followed  evidence  with  judgment  more  unerring. 

His  work,  though  full  of  delight,  told  heavily  upon  his  strength,

and  anxiety  was  ever  present  as  to  whether  the  American  supporters 
of  the  work  would  be  able  to  continue  to  provide  for  his  stay  in 
England.  I  was  with  him  in  London  in  1886,  when  he  was  ill  in 
body  and  mind.  He  always  looked  older  than  he  was.  He  was 
now  but  fifty-three,  already  a  venerable  figure,  broad-brimmed  and 
cloaked  after  the  fashion  of  a  former  time,  his  white  hair  setting  off 
a  countenance  clear-cut  and  forcefiil  even  in  failing  health.  Fortu- 
nately he  rallied  to  achieve  much  more,  rounding  out  to  the  full  his 
fourscore,  in  labor  certainly  but  not  in  sorrow.  He  was  a  happy 
man,  intensely  and  congenially  occupied,  and  with  a  philosophy 
that  disarmed  afflictions. 

Undoubtedly  the  greatest  achievements  of  Waters  during  the  years 
that  he  spent  in  England  in  research  work  for  the  New  England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society  were  his  discovery  of  the  parentage 
and  ancestry  of  John  Harvard,  the  results  attained  in  his  Rogers 
investigation,  his  work  in  settling  the  doubts  as  to  the  ancestry  of 
George  Washington,  and  the  conclusive  proof  which  he  furnished  in 
regard  to  the  ancestry  of  Roger  Williams.  His  Harvard  investiga- 
tion, I  suppose,  may  be  held  to  be  his  master  work. 

Waters's  first  article  on  "  John  Harvard  and  his  Ancestry  "  ap- 
peared in  the  Register  for  July  1885,*  and  was  followed  by  a  sec- 
ond article  under  the  same  title  in  the  Register  for  October  1886. f 
James  Savage,  the  well-known  author  of  the  Genealogical  Diction- 
ary, stated  that  he  would  gladly  have  given  five  hundred  dollars  to 
get  five  lines  about  John  Harvard,  and  Col.  Chester  carried  about 
with  him  daily  for  many  years  a  bit  of  Harvard  pedigree  in  the  hope 
of  being  able  to  perfect  it ;  but  Waters  was  the  first  to  show  beyond 
any  doubt  that  John  Harvard  was  a  son  of  Robert  Harvard  and 
his  wife  Katherine  Rogers  of  St.  Saviour's  Parish,  Southwark, 
and  that  he  was  baptized  there  29  November  1607.  On  Com- 
mencement Day,  24  June  1885,  the  thirtieth  anniversary  of  the 
graduation  of  our  college  class.  Harvard  University  gratefully  re- 
cognized the  important  work  of  Waters  by  conferring  on  him  the 
honorary  degree  of  Master  of  Arts,  and  in  his  remarks  at  the 
Alumni  Dinner  on  that  day  President  Eliot  sunmied  up  in  grace- 
ful diction  the  results  of  Waters's  researches  concerning  the  an- 
cestry of  the  mysterious  founder  of  the  College.  J  In  the  second 
part  of  "  John  Harvard  and  his  Ancestry,"  published  in  October 
1886,  Waters  established  the  parentage  of  Katherine  Rogers, 
John  Harvard's  mother,  tracing  her  parents  to  their  home  at  Strat- 
ford-on- A  von  and  identifying  the  very  house  in  Shakspere's  native 
town  from  which  she  went  forth  as  a  hride. 

The  Harvard  investigation  interested  me  especially.  I  took  it 
up  with  Waters  step  by  step,  and  was  struck  by  the  rigid  restraint

which  he  imposed  on  himself  in  forming  conclusions.  It  is  the  very 
romance  of  antiquarian  research.  This  elusive  worthy  of  the  past 
Waters  fastened  seciu*ely  to  his  Southwark  parentage,  revealing  him 
clearly,  and  tracking  his  kindred  in  their  haunts  and  occupations 
to  the  first  years  of  Queen  Elizabeth.  His  stepping-stones  had  been 
now  a  direct  mention  in  some  old  will,  now  an  indirect  hint,  so 
vague  that  only  his  genius  could  have  discovered  a  relation.  But 
whether  clear  or  vague,  he  never  established  a  stepping-stone  until 
he  was  sure  of  it.  Then  he  trod  it  as  he  had  trodden  the  cobble- 
stone in  the  Salem  street  when  he  was  a  schoolboy.  So  in  his 
quest  he  built  a  firm  road  from  London  through  the  darkness  to 
distant  Stratford-on-Avon,  where  in  1909,  in  a  ceremony  sanctioned 
by  King  Edward  VII,  participated  in  by  dignitaries  of  the  univer- 
sities and  by  the  American  ambassador,  and  attended  by  a  great 
company,  the  home  of  John  Harvard's  grandparents  was  given  into 
the  keeping  of  the  institution  that  bears  his  name.  For  the  readers 
of  the  Registeb  Waters  told  the  marvellous  story  of  the  untangling 
in  fiill.  He  epitomized  it  simply  and  lucidly  for  the  Harvard 
Graduates^  Magazine.*  I  have  heard  him  give  it  to  an  audience, 
without  vainglory,  with  pleasant  humor,  with  convincing  logic. 
Several  times  in  private  I  discussed  with  him  the  more  interesting 
points.  "  Fitz,"  I  once  said  to  him  in  substance,  "  you  have  brought 
us  to  the  threshold  of  something  magnificent ;  but  there  you  leave 
us.  Go  beyond  your  documents  a  little,  trusting  yourself  to  cir- 
cumstantial evidence.  Thomas  and  Alice  Rogers,  grandparents  of 
John  Harvard,  lived  for  fifty  years,  with  their  household,  side  by 
side  with  John  and  Mary  Shakspere,  parents  of  William  Shakspere, 
and  their  household,  under  conditions  which  made  an  intimacy  inevi- 
table. The  fathers  were  in  the  same  calling  in  the  little  borough 
of  possibly  two  thousand  souls,  sat  together  on  the  same  bench 
as  aldermen,  became  each  in  his  turn  bailiflT  or  mayor.  Their 
wives  were  close  neighbors,  members  of  the  same  parish,  in  the 
register  of  which  the  births,  marriages,  and  deaths  of  the  two  house- 
holds are  written  down  on  the  same  page.  The  boys,  of  course, 
would  go  together  to  the  old  King  Edward  VI  grammar  school,  of 
which  their  fathers  as  magistrates  were  officially  trustees,  and  the 
girls  and  boys  must  have  played  together  in  the  Avon  meadows. 
William  Shakspere,  to  be  sure,  went  to  London  the  year  Katherine 
Rogers,  the  mother  of  John  Harvard,  was  bom,  and  could  have  had 
no  knowledge  of  her  as  a  child.  But  we  know  that  a  decade  or  so 
later  he  bought  New  Place,  and  was  in  the  way  of  coming  back  to 
Stratford  for  sojourns  that  grew  longer  and  more  frequent,  until  at 
last  it  became  once  more  his  home.  Inevitably,  in  restoring  New 
Place,  he  must  have  had  an  interest  in  the  handsome  house  just  built 
by  Thomas  Rogers,  and  who  more  likely  to  answer  the  knock  of 
0ach  a  visitor  than  the  budding  little  Katherine  !    I  can  see  the  young

maid  and  the  middle-aged  man  confronting  each  other  across  the 
doorstep.  She  must  have  been  pretty,  and  could,  moreover,  hope 
for  a  substantial  dowry.  What  more  likely  than  that  Shakspere, 
going  back  to  the  Globe  Theatre,  at  Southwark,  should  have  reported 
to  Robert  Harvard,  the  young  widower,  well-established  and  reputed 
in  Southwark,  of  the  blooming,  well-portioned  girl  up  there  in  the 
Midlands,  awaiting  her  fate  !  If  Robert  Harvard  lent  a  willing  ear, 
we  know  that  Shakspere  was  just  the  man  to  serve  as  a  go-between. 
Through  the  remarkable  unearthings  of  Professor  Wallace,  we  know 
that  in  these  same  months  the  poet,  a  lodger  at  the  time  with  a 
wigmaker,  and  a  genial  friend  in  the  humble  family,  had  a  hand  in 
making  a  match  between  his  host's  daughter  Mary  and  the  apprentice 
Stephen  Bellott.  If  Shakspere  did  this  for  Stephen  and  Mary,  why 
should  he  not  do  the  same  good  turn  for  Robert  and  Katherine  ? 
Southwark  and  Stratford  are  a  hundred  miles  apart,  a  space  not 
often  traversed  by  the  humbler  folk  in  those  untavemed  and  roadless 
times.  One  man  we  know  did  go  and  come  right  from  the  eaves  of 
Robert  Harvard's  shop  in  Southwark  to  the  doorstep  of  the  house  in 
the  Stratford  High  Street.  One  would  say  that  there  must  have 
been  an  intermediary.  Who  more  likely  for  that  than  Shakspere, 
good  mixer  that  he  was  with  plain  Londoners  and  Warwickshire 
rustics,  however  he  may  have  exploited  upon  his  stage  the  heights 
and  depths  of  human  experience  ?  There  are  no  documents  for  all 
this,"  I  said,  **but  consider  the  circumstances.  Can  you  not  tread 
on  these  to  conclusions  ?  Here  is  our  dear  Harvard.  Her  unique 
asset  is  her  antiquity.  Other  universities  may  surpass  her  in  wealth, 
in  number  of  students,  ip  distinction  of  teachers,  possibly  even  in 
football,  but  no  other  university  in  this  country  can  go  back  for  her 
origin  through  eight  generations,  generations  which  cherished  her 
with  love  and  enriched  her  with  the  noblest  traditions.  Now,  what 
new  dignity  would  be  imparted  to  this  past  of  Harvard,  already  so 
precious  and  solemn,  could  we  but  link  the  founder  with  the  greatest 
name  in  literature  !  Is  it  documents  only  that  can  pave  the  path  for 
you  to  a  conclusion,  and  will  no  accumulation  of  circumstances  give 
you  proper  footing?"  In  unfolding  my  scheme  I  had  warmed  into 
a  glow,  which  Waters,  quiet  in  his  easy  chair,  met  with  a  cold  un- 
sympathetic smile.  His  words  were  few,  and  this  was  their  purport. 
**  These  are  only  pleasant  and  picturesque  speculations,  possibilities 
rising  here  and  there  perhaps  to  the  size  of  likelihoods,  but  all  un- 
substantial. There  is  no  solid  documentary  fact  beneath  your 
structures,  and  without  that  they  are  only  might-have-beens,  and 
with  might-have-beens,  however  glittering,  I  have  nothing  to  do." 
It  was  an  instance  of  the  restraint,  rooted  in  invincible  integrity, 
which  he  always  showed  in  his  investigations,  and  which  was  as 
much  a  part  of  him  as  were  the  acuteness  and  boldness  with  which 
he  leaped  to  a  result  when  once  he  had  obtained  a  satisfactory  trov  <rr& 
from  which  to  make  his  spring.      He  inexorably  demanded  that.

It  might  be  in  itself  as  poor  a  scrap  as  his  Salem  cobblestone.  His 
instinct  told  him  at  once  if  it  were  well-based  and  gave  a  firm  hold, 
and  then  he  could  utilize  it  memorably. 

It  has  been  suggested  that  a  portrait  of  Waters  ought  to  hang  in 
some  hall  of  Harvard  University.  It  is  indeed  fitting,  and  the  artist 
should  be  one  of  skill.  There  are  two  moments  in  his  Harvard  in- 
vestigation which  admit  of  dramatic  portrayal.  The  first  is  the  anti- 
quary standing  bare-headed  in  the  cofiee-room  of  the  ancient  Queen's 
Head  Inn,  in  Southwark,  and  drinking  a  mug  of  London  *' bitter" 
to  the  memory  of  the  mother  of  John  Harvard.  It  happened  on  a 
Monday  morning.  He  had,  the  Saturday  before,  made  certain  that 
the  good  mother,  the  possessor  of  this  inn,  had  bequeathed  it  as 
the  principal  item  of  his  inheritance  to  her  much-loved  son.  From 
the  proceeds  of  its  sale  came  mainly  the  little  fortime,  *'  the  moiety" 
of  which  a  few  years  later  kept  alive  the  small  moribimd  school  es- 
tablished in  New  England  in  1636.  The  inn  remained  unchanged. 
The  identification  was  complete.  As  he  used  to  tell  the  story,  he 
made  no  secret  that  his  soid  was  full  of  exultation,  and  we  may  be 
sure  that  his  coimtenance  reflected  it,  as  in  homely,  sincere  fashion 
he  paid  his  homage.  Still  better,  perhaps,  as  the  subject  of  a  pic- 
ture would  be  the  identification  at  Stratford  of  the  "  Old  House  in 
the  High  Street."  Arriving  at  Stratford  (as  he  told  me  the 
story),  the  antiquary,  having  by  a  mar^^el  of  ingenuity  made  out 
Katherine  Harvard's  connection  with  that  place,  called  on  Dr.  Ar- 
buthnot,  rector  of  the  parish,  who  at  Waters's  request  to  examine 
the  register  said :  "  You  are  aware,  sir,  that  our  register  is  the 
most  important  one  in  England."  Waters  convinced  him  of  his 
appreciation  of  that  fact,  and  also  of  his  competency  and  trustworth- 
iness. "  You  may  examine  it,"  said  the  rector,  "  but  it  can  only 
*be  done  under  surveillance.  The  sexton  alone  can  attend  to  that, 
and  he  must  remain  at  the  door  of  the  church  to  admit  the  visitors 
to  Shakspere's  grave."  The  condition  was  accepted,  and  Waters 
stood  throughout  the  day,  at  the  back  of  the  church,  the  precious 
register  resting  on  a  pew-rack,  while  he  conned  it  page  after  page. 
He  found  abundant  mention,  side  by  side  with  the  Shaksperes,  of 
Thomas  and  Alice  Rogers  and  their  household,  and  at  last  the  plain 
record  of  the  marriage  of  their  daughter  Katherine  to  Robert  Har- 
vard. Was  there  anything  more  to  learn  ?  Shutting  up  the  book, 
tired  but  happy,  he  went  out  into  the  village  street  and  paused,  as 
thousands  had  done,  before  the  "Old  House,"  with  its  quaint  and 
handsome  Tudor  front.  No  one  knew  its  story.  The  carved  char- 
acters on  the  crossbeam  below  the  gable,  T  R  1596  A  R,  were, 
and  had  always  been,  as  long  as  njen  remembered,  an  enigma.  As 
he  scanned  them  in  the  afternoon  light,  with  his  mind  excited  by 
what  the  register  had  revealed,  it  flashed  upon  him  as  by  spme  spirit- 
ual suggestion  that  the  initials  stood  for  John  Harvard's  grandpar- 
ents, and  that  over  that  threshold  the  mother,  Katherine,  had  gone

as  a  bride.  How  this  was  confirmed  need  not  be  told  here.  But 
the  antiquary  at  the  supreme  moment  when  his  discovery  was 
clinched,  this  old-fashioned  but  straight  and  alert  figure,  white-haired, 
with  keen  and  enthusiastic  eyes — surely  a  painter  might  find  here 
a  worthy  subject. 

Waters's  researches  in  connection  with  the  Rogers  family  estab- 
lished the  English  ancestry  of  Rev.  Nathaniel  Rogers  of  Ipswich, 
Mass.,  and  his  father's  cousin,  Rev.  Ezekiel  Rogers  of  Rowley, 
Mass.,  a  subject  which  had  for  many  years  engaged  the  attention 
of  Col.  Chester.  They  were  described  by  Waters  in  an  address  be- 
fore the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  at  its  stated  meet- 
ing on  2  March  1887,  and  were  printed  in  the  Rkgister  for  April 
of  the  same  year.*  The  results  of  the  Roger  Williams  investigation 
were  made  known  in  the  Register  for  July  1889, f  and  the  Wash- 
ington records  were  published  in  the  Register  for  October  1889 
and  January  1890.^  In  establishing  the  ancestry  of  these  men 
Waters  solved  problems  which  "  had  long  baffled  the  efforts  of  the 
most  eminent  antiquaries,"  and  his  articles  form  '*  a  series  of  perhaps 
the  most  brilliant  achievements  in  the  whole  history  of  genealogy. "§ 

Besides  the  *'  Genealogical  Gleanings  in  England,"  Waters  con- 
tributed to  the  Register  an  article  entitled  "  Papers  in  Egerton 
MS.  2395, "II  in  which  he  gave  an  account  of  some  papers  relating 
to  North  America  which  are  contained  in  a  manuscript  volume  in 
the  British  Museum.  He  also  communicated  to  the  Register  the 
will  of  Alexander  Selkirk — ^the  real  Robinson  Crusoe,ir  and  the 
will  of  Thomas  Hobson,  the  Cambridge  carrier,  who  oflTered  to  his 
customers  *'Hobson's  choice."** 

Many  genealogical  articles  by  Waters  may  be  found  in  the  Essex 
Instihite  Iliatorical  Collections^  most  of  them  having  been  con- 
tributed to  that  publication  before  the  compiler  took  up  his  protracted 
residence  in  London.  One  very  valuable  contribution,  "  Extracts 
from  Marriage  Licenses  granted  by  the  Bishop  of  London  1598  to 
1639,"  was  one  of  the  fruits  of  his  research  in  England,  and  ap- 
peared in  the  Essex  Institute  Historical  Collections  for  1891. ft 

To  the  cause  of  history  as  well  as  to  that  of  genealogy  Waters 
rendered  valuable  services,  and  among  these  the  discovery  of  the 
Winthrop  map  of  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Colony  J  J  and  the  finding  of 
the  manuscript  by  Samuel  Maverick  containing  a  "  Discription  of 
New  England  "§  §  deserve  especial  mention,  arousing  as  they  did  great 
interest  both  in  this  country  and  in  England.

Watere's  later  years  were  spent  in  eastern  Massachusetts,  chiefly 
in  his  native  city.  As  early  as  1870  he  had  joined  the  Essex  Insti- 
tute ;  in  1872  he  had  become  a  resident  member  of  the  New  England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society,  and  was  made  a  life  member  in  1890 ; 
and  in  January  of  the  latter  year  he  was  elected  a  resident  member 
of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society.  Every  winter  he  made  it 
a  point  to  be  present  at  the  dinner,  in  Boston,  of  his  Harvard  class ; 
and  on  these  and  other  visits  to  Boston  he  was  often  to  be  seen  in 
the  Library  of  the  Historic  Genealogical  Society  in  its  former  build- 
ing at  18  Somerset  Street,  and  once  or  twice  he  was  able  to  come  to 
the  new  building  at  9  Ashburton  Place.  His  interest  in  the  genealogi- 
cal researches  to  which  he  had  devoted  his  prime  was  undiminished 
even  in  advanced  age.  He  would  call  for  the  most  recent  English 
publications  on  genealogy,  especially  the  printed  parish  registers, 
and  oftentimes  he  pointed  out  clues  as  to  the  ancestry  of  our  early 
settlers  which  led  to  the  acquisition  of  important  material  for  the 
pages  of  the  Register.  In  a  letter  to  a  personal  friend  and  rela- 
tive, written  from  Salem  so  late  as  3  April  1912,  he  exclaimed: 
"  Lord  1  How  I  wish  I  had  that  library  at  18  Somerset  St.  within 
easy  reach,  and  daily  too  I  "  It  was  a  source  of  gratification  to  him 
that  the  Committee  on  English  Kesearch  of  the  Historic  Genealogical 
Society  was  able,  a  few  years  ago,  to  secure  funds  for  a  resumption 
of  the  work  in  England  which  he  had  carried  on  for  seventeen  years 
with  such  wonderful  success,  and  he  was  always  glad  to  hear  about 
the  progress  of  the  particular  investigations  authorized  by  the  Com-^ 
mitt^e  and  to  aid  in  its  researches  with  helpful  advice  and  suggestions. 

I  have  written  of  my  old  friend  out  of  my  heart,  and  naturally  of 
his  occupation  in  his  special  field,  to  which  his  taste  so  strongly  drew 
him  and  where  his  ability  was  so  marked.  Absorbed  though  he 
seemed  here,  shut  oflF  from  men  in  alcoves  and  dustbins,  he  was 
nevertheless  a  man  widely  and  tenderly  sympathetic.  Though  with- 
out family  ties,  he  had  a  genius  for  friendship,  and  no  friend  could 
be  kinder  or  truer.  He  was  alive  in  a  large  sense  to  the  present. 
The  Spanish  War  and  the  Boer  War  were  followed  by  him  with 
lively  interest  and  with  manifest  disapproval.  In  these  later  years 
he  was  perfervidly  a  peace  man,  incongruously  and  rather  amusingly 
militant  in  his  advocacy ;  and  in  his  anti-imperialism  not  even  his 
townsman  of  a  centuiy  ago,  Timothy  Pickering,  denouncing  the 
purchase  of  Louisiana,  surpassed  his  wrath  over  our  present-day 
expansion.  I  locked  arms  with  him  on  Commencement  Day,  1913, 
under  the  windows  of  HoUis,  where  sixty-two  years  before  I  had 
known  him  first.  I  noted  sadly  that  his  form  was  bent,  and  that 
he  was  slow  of  speech  and  step.  I  felt  that  I  should  never  again 
behold  in  life  a  man  than  whom  I  have  never  known  one  more  just, 
more  sweet  with  fine  humanities,  more  simply  and  squarely  true.

graduat^  at  Harvard  College  in  1803,  and  was  for  four  years  be- 
fore his  death  the  sole  surviving  member  of  his  class.  In  1 805  he 
accompanied  his  cousin,  William  Tudor,  on  a  trip  to  the  West  Indies, 
returning  to  Boston  in  1806.  He  then  studied  law  in  the  office  of 
Isaac  Parker  at  Portland,  Me.,  and  was  admitted  to  the  Boston  bar 
in  Jan.  1807,  after  further  study  in  the  Boston  offices  of  Samuel 
Dexter  and  William  Sullivan.  He  had  previously  become  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Boston  Anthology  Society,  was  one  of  the  founders  ol 
the  Boston  Athenieum,  and  for  five  years  was  the  editor  of  the 
MonUdy  Anthology^  the  first  purely  literary  magazine  in  New  Eng- 
land and  the  forerunner  of  the  North  American  Review.  He  de- 
livered the  Boston  Fourth  of  July  oration  in  1811,  and  was  a 
representative  to  the  General  Cotirt  in  1812  and  again  in  1821.  In 
1816,  with  Elisha  Ticknor,  he  founded  the  Provident  Institution  for 
Savings,  the  first  savings  bank  in  Boston,  and  during  a  period  of 
forty^ve  years  was  tnccessively  its  secretary,  treasurer,  vice-presi*

dent,  and  president  He  became  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts 
Historical  Society  in  Jan.  1813,  and  was  its  librarian  from  1814 
to  1818,  its  treasurer  from  1820  to  1839,  and  its  president  from 
1841  to  1855.  In  1819  he  made  a  trip  to  Demarara.  In  1824 
he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  American  Academy  of  Arts 
and  Sciences.  He  was  elected  to  the  State  Senate  in  1826  and  to 
the  Executive  Council  in  1830,  and  he  was  also  a  member  of  the 
Boston  Common  Council  and  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen.  He  re- 
vised the  volume  of  charters  and  general  laws  of  the  Massachusetts 
Bay  Colony  and  the  Province  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  and  from  1838 
to  1853  was  an  overseer  of  Harvard  College,  receiving  from  his 
alma  mater  the  degree  of  LL.D.  in  1841.  In  May  1842  he  sailed 
for  England,  returning  to  Boston  in  the  following  October.  For 
many  years  he  devoted  much  of  his  time  to  genealogical  and  anti- 
quarian research,  which  resulted  in  over  one  hundred  pages  of  con- 
tributions to  the  Collections  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society, 
He  prepared  for  publication  from  the  original  manuscripts  John 
Winthrop's  History  of  New  England,  which  was  published  first  in 
1825-6,  with  a  second  edition  in  18">3,  and  in  1828  he  edited  Paley's 
Works  in  five  volumes,  a  second  edition  following  two  years  later. 
The  crowning  work  of  hb  life  was  A  Genealogical  Dictionary  of 
the  First  Settlers  of  New  England,  published  in  four  volumes  in 
1860-64.  Of  this  work  the  North  American  Review  said:  "Con- 
sidering the  obscurity  of  most  of  those  whose  names  are  mentioned, 
their  number  and  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  information  respecting 
them,  it  is  the  most  stupendous  work  on  genealogy  ever  compiled." 
.  During  his  early  married  life  Mr.  Savage  lived  on  Hayward  Place, 
Boston,  but  in  1831  he  removed  to  1  Temple  Place,  where  he  lived 
until  1870,  when  he  moved  to  the  Hotel  Berkeley,  corner  of  Boyls- 
ton  and  Berkeley  Streets,  where  he  died.  For  many  years  he  owned 
an  estate  known  as  Sunny  Hill  in  the  town  of  Lunenburg,  Mass., 
where  he  was  accustomed  to  pass  his  summers.  He  died  in  Boston 
8  Mar.  1873,  and  was  buried  from  the  Arlington  Street  Church 
(Unitarian)  two  days  later. 

Mr.  Savage's  characteristics  were  straightforwardness,  punctual- 
ity, accuracy,  and  "  uncompromising  directness."  He  had  a  strong 
religious  faith,  and  was  unswervingly  devoted  to  his  country.  His 
conversation  was  full  of  oddities  of  speech,  but  with  all  his  impulsive- 
ness of  feeling  and  manner  he  "  was  ever  quick  to  cover  with  humor 
and  good  nature  the  shafts  he  sent." 

He  married,  in  Apr.  1823,  Elizabeth  Otis  (Stillman)  Lincoln, 
born  at  Machias,  Me.,  22  May  1792,  died  in  Boston  30  Jan.  1850,

of  James  Otis  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.  (Cf.  Register,  vol.  1,

Mountehi  9  Aug.  1862;  d.  unm.  at  Charlottesville,  Va.,  22  Oct. 
1862.  A  fellow-soldier  wrote  of  him  at  the  time  of  his  death: 
^^  He  was  universally  acknowledged  to  have  entered  the  service 
simply  and  entirely  from  his  sense  of  duty  and  conviction  of  the 
right.  ...  To  an  almost  feminine  gentleness,  refinement  and 
amiability,  he  joined  the  indomitable  pluck,  energy  and  resolution 
which  become  the  man.  .  .  .  When  before  the  regiment  had  yet  been 
in  action,  ofllcers  around  their  camp  or  picket  fires  at  night  would 
discuss  its  probable  behavior,  there  was  one  universal  sentiment, 
that  '  Jim  Savage  at  least  would  fight  until  his  sword  clove  to  his 
hand,*  and  this  prediction  he  well  fulfilled  at  Newtown,  Win- 
chester, and  Cedar  Mountain,  on  which  last  disastrous  field  he  fell 
struck  by  two  bullets.  .  .  .  He  was  the  only  man  ever  known  to  the 
writer  who  seemed  fully  to  deserve  the  title  given  to  the  model  of 
French  knighthood,  'Chevalier  sans  peur  et  sans  reproche.*"

College,  where  he  was  graduated  seventh  in  his  class  in  1847.  The 
following  year  was  spent  in  teaching  in  Georgia,  and  then  he  re- 
turned to  the  North  and  began  the  study  of  law  in  the  office  of 
Judge  Seymour  at  Litchfield,  Conn.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar 
12  Feb.  1850,  and  at  once  entered  the  law  office  of  his  cousin, 
Hon.  Lewis  B.  Woodruff,  in  New  Yorlt  City,  working  assiduously

tended school  in  his  native  town,  and  in  the  fall  of  1796  was  placed 
in  the  store  of  his  uncle,  Henry  Bass,  in  Boston,  where  be  remained 
until  Oct.  1798,  when  he  entered  the  employ  of  Lewis  Hayt  in 
Boston.  Late  in  1799  he  went  to  Kingston,  Jamaica,  where  hU 
brother  Samuel  was  already  established,  and  for  a  few  months  was 
in  the  store  of  his  uncle,  William  Savage  (22).  In  Feb.  1800  he 
entered  tlie  employ  of  Messrs.  Richards  &  Dewliurst  in  Kingston. 
In  the  following  May  he  became  a  clerk  in  the  mercantile  house  of 
Arthur  Savage  &  Co.,  from  which  he  retired  in  Jan.  1803,  accepting 
a  position  with  Duncomb  &  Pownall  in  Kingston,  from  which  ill- 
health  compelled  him  to  withdraw  on  1  Apr.  following.    In  1804  he

engaged  in  buBiness  on  his  own  account,  and  in  Feb.  1807  admitted 
his  brother  Elisha  as  a  partner.  In  1808  he  made  a  short  visit  to 
Barnstable,  returning  to  Kingston  in  Sept.  of  that  year.  In  Dec. 
181 1  he  was  attacked  with  fever,  and  the  loss  of  most  of  his  money 
followed.  He  returned  to  Barnstable  in  1812,  where  he  remained 
until  1817,  when  he  went  to  New  York  and  took  advantage  of  the 
insolvency  act.  Leaving  New  York  27  Dec.  1817,  he  walked  to 
Pitteburg,  Pa.,  where  he  arrived  23  Jan.  1818.  Thence  he  pro- 
ceeded to  Louisville,  Ky.,  and  the  next  few  years  were  passed  in 
New  Orleans,  New  York,  Cincinnati,  Louisville,  Lexington,  Ky., 
and  St.  Louis,  Mo.  In  the  suihmer  of  1826  he  and  his  first  wife 
went  to  Barnstable,  where  Mrs.  Savage  remained  until  her  death ; 
but  business  required  Mr.  Savage's  return  to  St.  Louis  in  the  fall 
of  1826,  and  he  was  there  when  the  news  of  Mrs.  Savage's  death, 
in  the  spring  of  1827,  reached  him — a  shock  from  which  he  never 
fully  recovered.  In  the  autumn  of  1828  he  was  at  Barnstable,  in 
Oct.  1828  he  went  to  New  York,  and  in  the  same  autumn  he  formed 
a  partnership  with  his  brother-in-law,  O.  N.  Bostwick,  in  St.  Louis, 
which  continued  until  June  1835,  although  failing  health  necessi- 
tated several  trips  to  Barnstable  and  a  residence  of  nearly  a  year  at 
Tivoli-on-the-Hudson,  N.  Y.  He  left  St.  Louis  in  June  1835  to 
receive  medical  treatment  in  New  York,  and  soon  after  went  to 
Tivoli,  where,  with  the  exception  of  a  three-months'  trip  to  St. 
Louis  in  the  summer  of  1836,  he  remained  until  his  death,  which 
occurred  16  Dec.  1839,  after  three  years  of  failing  physical  and 
mental  health. 

He  married  first,  in  St  Louis,  Mo.,  30  Mar.  1826,  Adelaide 
Hat,  born  at  Cahokia,  St.  Clair  Co.,  lU.,  1806,  died  at  Barnstable, 
Mass.,  18  Mar.*  1827,  daughter  of  John  and  Marguerite  (Poupard) 
of  Belleville,  St.  Clair  Co.,  111.  Miss  Hay  being  a  Roman  Catholic, 
the  marriage  ceremony  was  repeated  at  Cahokia  by  the  parish  priest, 
4  May  1826.  He  married  secondly,  at  Upper  Red  Hook,  N.  Y., 
30  Jan.  1832,  Maria  Addison  Hoffman,  born  at  Red  Hook, 
N.  Y.,  27  Feb.  1800,  died  there  8  Sept  1865,  daughter  of  Zachariah 
and  Catharine  (Addison)  of  Red  Hook.  Mr.  Savage  and  his  second 
wife  are  buried  in  the  Old  Red  Church  Burying-Ground  at  Madalin, 
N.Y.

and  lived  for  a  short  time  with  his  father.    In  Mar.  1826  he  went 
with  his  uncle  Charles  (21,  iii)  to  Guatemala.   He  spent  the  winter 
of  1827>8  at  Barnstable,  Mass.,  and  about  1830  returned  to  Guate- 
mala, where,  with  the  exception  of  several  visits  to  Massachu- 
setts, he  passed  the  remainder  of  his  life.

where  he  lived  with  his  maternal  aunt  until  his  return  to  Jamaica 
soon  after  his  mother's  death  in  1799.  Late  in  1802  he  was  sent 
by  his  father  to  Barnstable,  Mass.,  where  he  was  placed  in  the  care  of 
his  uncle,  Samuel  Savage  (21),  and  attended  school.  He  returned 
to  Jamaica  in  1805,  but  sailed  from  Kingston  in  May  1807  for  Wis- 
casset,  Me.,  and  immediately  entered  the  employ  of  his  cousin 
Charles  Savage  (21,  iii),  of  the  firm  of  Frazier,  Savage  &  Co, 
Boston.  He  remained  here  until  the  spring  of  1808,  when  the  em- 
barrassed condition  of  business  and  some  misunderstanding  between 
him  and  his  cousin  led  him,  against  the  advice  of  his  £ther  and 
uncles,  to  abandon  thoughts  of  a  mercantile  life  in  Boston,  and  he 
returned  to  Jamaica,  where  he  probably  remained  until  1813.  In 
June  of  that  year  he  was  at  Portland,  Me.,  and  in  the  following  Oct 
he  was  at  Groton,  Mass.,  where  he  passed  the  winter  with  the  family 
of  Dr.  Amos  Bancroft,  whose  wife  (14,  i,  1)  was  John  Savage's  first 
cousin.  Early  in  1814  he  appears  to  have  gone  to  Philadelphia, 
Pa.,  where  he  met  and  married,  20  July  1814,  his  first  wife,  Eliza- 
beth Arabella  White,  bom  in  co.  Sussex,  England,  about  1795, 
daughter  of  Richard*  and  Sarah  (Perry)  of  Dublin,  Ireland,  who 
later  took  up  their  abode  in  Philadelphia.  This  marriage  was  so  dis- 
tasteful to  Savage's  father,  who  had  arranged  for  a  union  between  his 
son  and  his  cousin,  that  upon  the  receipt  of  the  news  he  immediately 
disinherited  him.  Although  Mrs.  Savage's  older  sister  appeared 
with  success  upon  the  Phili^elphia  stage,  it  is  probable  that  she  her- 
self did  not  long  remain  upon  it.  She  was  in  Boston  in  the  early  sum- 
mer of  1815,  and  she  and  her  husband  made  their  first  appearance 
upon  the  stage  at  the  Federal  Street  Theatre  in  that  city.  In  Nov. 
following  they  were  in  Philadelphia,  and  Savage,  taking  the  part  of 
Charles  Dudley  in  R.  Cumberland's  comedy  of  The  West  Indian, 
made  his  debut  upon  the  Philadelphia  stage  at  the  Chestnut  Street 
Theatre,  27  Nov.  1815.  In  1816  and  1817  Savage  with  his  wife 
and  children  was  in  Pittsburg,  Cincinnati,  Lexington,  and  Louis- 
ville, and  he  was  a  member  of  a  theatrical  company  appearing  in 
these  and  other  towns;  but  the  death,  in  Nov.  1816,  of  his  only 
brother  ended  his  father's  ill-feeling  towards  him,  and  he  was  sent 
for  by  his  father  and  reinstated  as  a  son.  Savage  and  his  family, 
after  a  difficult  trip  from  Ohio,  down  the  Mississippi,  arrived  in 
Jamaica  early  in  1818  in  a  much  embarrassed  financial  condition. 
Soon  after  his  arrival  he  settled  down  as  a  coffee  planter  at  Epping 
Farm,  in  an  attempt  to  liquidate  his  own  and  his  father's  debts. 
Mrs.  Savage  died  on  the  plantation  15  Nov.  1821,  and  was  buried 
there  beside  two  of  her  infant  children.  In  1 823  Savage  suffered 
from  a  severe  attack  of  yellow  fever,  and  therefore,  on  the  advice 

^Richmrd  White  was  *'an  Irish  gentleman  of  edncation  and  of  very  respectable 
connexions  in  the  city  of  Dublin.  He  held,  at  one  period,  a  high  rank  in  the  British 
army.  Bat  his  family  greatly  increasing,  he  was  induced  to  seek  a  more  conffenial 
atylnm  than  the  itinerancy  of  an  army  life  afforded,  and  receiving  a  patrimonialshare 
of  some  $20,000,  he  resigned  his  commission,  and  emigrated  to  the  United  States, 
where  with  the  unffuidea  ardor  of  his  coantry*s  characteristics,  being  untrained  in 
business  habits,  ana  possessing  all  the  hospitable  traits  of  Irish  feeling,  he  found  him- 
self in  a  yery  few  years  bereft  of  his  means.  He  died  early,  and  left  a  family  unpro- 
Tided  for  in  a  stranee  land,  with  the  exception  of  a  very  small  annuity  from  Ireland.*' 
(History  of  the  Philadelphia  Stage,  by  Charles  Durang,  vol.  1,  chap.  xW.)  Two  of  hit 
daughters,  to  assist  in  supporting  their  widowed  mother  and  brothers  and  sisters,  at- 
tended  a  school  of  oratory  conducted  by  the  well-known  actor  James  Fennell,  as  a 
preparation  for  a  theatrical  life,  and  it  was  while  Savage  was  attending  the  same  school 
that  he  met  Miss  White.

of  a  physician,  he  left  Jamaica,  and  with  his  only  surviving  child, 
Mary  Elizabeth,  settled  in  Philadelphia.  There  he  married  second- 
ly, 25  Sept  1823,  Bishop  William  White  officiating,  his  first  wife's 
sister.  Jamb  Allen  White,  born  at  Castle  Hill  Barracks,  co.  Sussex, 
England,  26  July  1801.  In  1827  he  made  a  trip  to  Jamaica,  at 
the  time  of  his  father's  death,  returning  to  Philadelphia  in  the  sum- 
mer of  1828.  In  1833  he  was  living  at  211  North  Sixth  Street  in 
that  city.  Previously  he  had  lived  on  Fisher's  Lane,  Germantown, 
and  the  summer  months  were  passed  at  Abington,  outside  of  Phila- 
delphia. He  died  in  Philadelphia,  of  erysipelas,  15  Jan.  1834,*  and 
was  buried  in  Ronaldson's  Philadelphia  Cemetery,  at  the  comer  of 
Ninth  and  Bainbridge  Streets.  His  widow  died  at  Frankford,  in 
Philadelphia,  18  Oct  1882,  and  was  buried  in  Trinity  Churchyard, 
Oxford,  near  Cheltenham,  Pa. 

Mr.  Savage  was  a  great  reader  of  Shakspere  and  an  excellent 
amateur  painter  in  waterHM)lor8.  An  attractive  portrait  of  him, 
painted  in  1 824  by  Thomas  Sully,  who  was  all  his  life  an  intimate 
friend  of  the  family,  is  owned  by  a  grandson  in  Garden  City,  Long 
Island,  N.  T.,  and  a  portrait  sketch  by  the  same  artist  of  Savage's 
second  wife,  painted  in  1826,  is  owned  by  a  grandson  at  Frankford, 
in  Philadelphia.  A  granddaughter  living  at  Bridesburg,  in  Phila- 
delphia, possesses  a  miniature  of  the  same  lady,  painted  in  1823  by 
Mi£8  Anna  C.  Peale,  a  niece  of  Charles  Wilson  Peale.

McConnell  sailed  for  Jamaica,  to  look  after  the  property  which 
she  had  Inherited  from  her  paternal  grandmother.  Upon  their  ar^ 
rival  Mrs.  McConnell  found  that  this  property,  which  during  the 
absence  of  the  family  In  America  had  been  placed  In  the  care  of 
agents,  had  been  so  badly  managed  that  practically  nothing  was 
left.  With  what  she  could  later  collect  from  the  wreck  of  the 
property,  she  returned,  after  her  husband's  death,  with  her  Infant 
child  to  Philadelphia,  and  In  that  city  and  Its  Immediate  vicinity

17  NoY.  1810,  at  the  age  of  thirteen  and  a  half  years,  went  to  sea 
as  a  cabin  boy  on  the  ship  Juno,  sailing  from  Boston.  He  was  dis- 
charged in  New  York  in  Sept.  181 1.  His  certificate  of  citizenship, 
signed  in  Nov.  1810,  describes  him  as  being  four  feet  and  eleven 
inches  in  height,  with  fair  complexion,  brown  hair,  and  blue  eyes. 
Soon  after  returning  from  this  voyage  he  placed  himself  under  the 
instruction  of  the  principal  of  the  South  Berwick  Academy,  and 
in  1814  taught  school  for  a  short  time.  In  1815  he  again  went 
to  sea,  shipping  as  a  common  seaman,  and  in  1819  he  was  master 
of  the  brig  Charles  Amburger.  In  1820  he  became  master  of  the 
brig  Happy  Couple,  sailing  from  Salem,  Mass.,  to  Isle  de  France 
(Mauritius),  Sumatra,  Antwerp,  and  New  York.  In  1821  he  was 
again  master  and  also  part-owner  of  the  Charles  Amhurger,  and  was 
also  in  that  year  in  command  of  the  schooner  Greyhound.  In  the 
autumn  of  1823  he  sailed  for  South  America.  In  1827  and  for 
ten  years  thereafter  he  was  in  command  of  vessels  owned  by  Charles 
W.  Dabney  of  Fayal,  sailing  from  that  port  to  Boston,  New  York, 
and  other  ports.  In  1822  he  succeeded  his  father  as  a  member  of 
the  Society  of  the  Cincinnati.  In  Aug.  1823  he  joined  the  Salem 
East  India  Society,  from  which  he  resigned  in  Sept.  1833.  After 
severing  his  connection  with  the  Dabney  vessels  he  travelled  for 
some  months  through  the  states  of  the  Middle  West,  and  then  re- 
turned to  Salem.  In  1845  he  removed  with  his  family  to  Roxbury, 
Mass.,  where,  1 1  Apr.  1845,  he  bought  a  pew  in  the  First  Church.

urer. In  1855  he  bought  a  small  farm  in  Harvard,  Mass.,  taking 
possession  of  it  in  Nov.  of  the  same  year,  and  there  the  remainder 
of  his  life  was  passed.  His  house  at  Harvard  was  built  in  1765, 
and  had  been  occupied  almost  exclusively  by  the  different  ministers 
of  the  town.  It  is  stUl  in  the  possession  of  the  family.  He  died

he  attended  a  private  school  at  Medlleld,  Mass.,  and  in  1858  he 
sailed  from  Boston  for  San  Francisco.  Nothing  has  been  heard 
of  him  since  Jan.  1866. 

85,  Samuel  Phillips*  Savage  (Joseph,^  Samuel  Phillips,^  Arthur^^ 
Thomoi^  Thomas^)y  bom  at  Berwick  (now  South  Berwick),  Me., 
9  June  1803,  went  to  sea  very  early  in  life,  and  at  the  age  of  twenty 
years  (possibly  earlier)  was  an  officer  on  a  merchant  vessel,  and  in 
1834  became  a  captain.  Hb  certificate  of  citizenship  at  the  age  of 
twenty-four  describes  him  as  ^ye  feet  eleven  and  a  half  inches  in 
height,  with  light  complexion  and  dark  hair.  Ue  followed  the 
sea  until  1859,  making  only  brief  visits  at  home  between  voyages, 
and  he  not  only  commanded  his  ships  but  also  had  entire  charge  of 
their  cargoes.  After  a  short  stay  ashore  he  returned  to  the  sea  for 
one  or  two  more  voyages,  retiring  finally  in  1860  or  1861  with 
ample  means  to  live  in  comfort  In  1870  he  was  living  at  West 
Lebanon,  N.  H.,  and  he  died  probably  in  1874,  but  the  exact  date 
and  place  of  his  death  have  not  been  found.  He  was  a  man  of 
great  energy,  and  capable  to  a  high  degree  in  his  calling,  of  forceful 
personality,  of  an  exceptionally  acute  intelligence,  and  possessed  of 
a  rather  remarkable  piquancy  of  speech.  A  miniature  of  him, 
painted  at  about  the  age  of  twenty-five  years,  is  owned  by  his  grand- 
son. 

He  married  at  Beverly,  Mass.,  12  Nov.  1835,  Abbt  Rowe,  bom 
at  Beverly  2  Aug.  1807,  died  at  Chelsea,  Mass.,  26  Jan.  1888, 
daughter  of  Seth  and  Abigail  (Morgan)  of  Salem,  Mass.  During 
the  second  half  of  1836  Capt.  and  Mrs.  Savage  settled  at  Salem, 
where  they  lived  until  late  in  1852,  when  they  moved  to  24  Fayette 
Street,  Boston.  In  1856  they  moved  to  Chelsea,  Mass.,  where 
Mrs.  Savage  passed  the  remainder  of  her  life.  In  1863  they  sepa- 
rated, and  Mrs.  Savage  secured  a  divorce  from  her  husband  in  1869.

Children,  born  at  Salem : 
1.  Qeoroe,'  b.  26  Dec.  1886.  After  attending  school  in  his  native  town 
he  went  to  Boston  in  1852,  and  entered  the  employ  of  Bates  &  Co., 
ship-owners,  on  Commercial  Wharf,  becoming  a  jonior  clerk  in 
their  office.  After  a  year.in  this  office  he  decided  to  go  to  sea,  and 
in  Dec.  1853  sailed  from  New  York  for  San  Francisco  as  a  boy  in 
the  ship  Polyne$iay  arriving  in  Apr.  1854.  Here  he  intended  to  en- 
gage in  some  mercantile  pursuit,  and  received  from  his  former 
employers  authority  to  draw  on  them  for  $160.  A  short  experience 
in  a  counting-house  of  one  Messer  led  him  to  decide  definitely  upon 
a  seafaring  life,  and  he  shipped  in  Aug.  1854  on  the  ship  Sea  JSer- 
pent  for  Hong-Kong  and  Shanghai.  On  4  Nov.  he  sailed  for  New 
York,  where  he  arrived  in  Feb.  1855.  In  Apr.  1855  he  sailed  from 
New  York  as  a  boy,  but  with  the  wages  of  an  ordinary  seaman, 
in  the  clipper  ship  Starr  King^  of  which  Bates  &  Co.  were  owners, 
bound  for  San  Francisco.  The  next  three  and  a  half  years  were 
spent  on  the  Starr  King^  visiting  Melbourne,  Hong-Kong,  Sydney, 
Bassein,  Singapore,  Valparaiso,  Callao,  the  Chincha  Islands,  and 
other  Pacific  ports,  and  in  Apr.  1857  he  was  made  chief  mate. 
Certain  difl^erences  with  his  captain  and  the  monotony  of  his  life 
led  him  to  leave  the  Starr  King^  and  he  sailed  for  home  as  third 
mate  of  the  General  Nowelly  arriving  in  Feb.  1859.  In  July  1859 
he  again  joined  the  Starr  King  as  chief  mate  under  a  new  captain, 
and  sailed  from  New  York  for  Shanghai,  which  was  reached  in 
December.  In  Mar.  1860  he  made  a  short  trip  to  Japan  on  the 
barque  Maryland^  and  on  his  return  to  Shanghai  became  a  pilot 
on  the  Yang-tse-Kiang.  In  Sept.  1860  he  abandoned  this  occnpa- 
tion  and  entered  the  rebel  country,  and  in  November  he  was  in 
Nanking,  living  in  one  of  the  houses  of  the  rebel  emperor,  T*ien 
Wang.  He  is  reported  to  have  been  engaged  in  collecting  a  force 
of  Europeans  to  assist  the  rebels  in  fighting  the  Imperialists ;  and 
on  the  march  from  Soochow  to  Nanking  they  encountered  the 
enemy,  and  Savage  was  wounded  in  the  head  by  a  musket  ball,  in 
Apr.  1861.  Under  the  care  of  Chinese  doctors  he  had  recovered 
sufficiently  by  Oct.  or  Nov.  1861  to  leave  Slianghal  for  Soochow. 
He  is  known  to  have  reached  Soochow,  and  to  have  left  for 
Shanghai  with  a  considerable  amount  of  money.  On  the  way  he 
was  attacked  by  a  band  of  robbers,  and  he,  his  companion,  servant, 
and  all  his  boatmen  were  killed.  He  was  a  spirited,  affectionate 
roan,  fond  of  society,  patient  and  persevering,  singularly  mature 
for  his  years,  self-reliant,  and  of  high  principles  and  clean  life. 
He  was  unmarried.

times  on  each  sabbath,  when  the  weather  would  permit,  &  held  numerous 
other  religious  meetings,  and  delivered  two  addresses  on  the  subject  of 
Temperance. 

The  school  consisted  of  33  different  scholars  &  most  of  them  made  very 
pleasing  progress  in  their  studies. 

The  religious  meetings  were  punctually  attended  by  all  the  younger

of  all  grace, ["]  was  pleased  to  bless  the  feeble  instrumentality  here  used,

Abstract  |  of  the  Statement  of  N.  6.  Oilman  who  came  for  the  benefit 
of  his  health  on  8  Nov.  1846  in  company  of  Mr.  Lawrence  Young  (who 
owns  a  sailboat  and  has  conducted  for  several  years  an  extensive  trade 
between  these  islands  and  £xeter).  Left  Rye  harbour  and  reached  the 
Shoals  at  10  p.m.  Hospitably  received  at  the  house  of  Mr.  Joseph  Cas- 
well on  Star  Island  His  stay  was  much  prolonged  by  a  violent  storm- 
The  storm  has  continued  now  with  unabated  fury  for*  9  days-  A  N.E. 
gale.  On  Sunday  15  Nov.  he  attended  service  in  the  stone  chapel  and 
ustened  to  an  able  discourse  by  the  Rev.  Mr  Plummer.  The  Storm  has 
somewhat  abated  and  Mr.  Young  has  made  preparations  to  set  sail  to  mor- 
row mom  for  the  mainland  with  a  cargo  of  fish  and  fowl

*  According  to  Carter,  Mr.  Faller  was  born  in  1807,  but  his  account  of  his  career 
does  not  altogether  agree  with  Mr.  Fuller's  story  as  told  here.  He  is  said  to  have 
(TAdnated  from  the  GHmauton  Theological  Seminary  in  1838.  He  filled  several  pul- 
pit«  of  no  great  importance,  and  died  at  Stow,  Mass.,  In  1877.

Cf.  the  entry  on  p.  103.    I  am  inclined  to  believe  that  he  was  a  much  younger 
brother  of  John,  and  that  both  were  sons  of  Peter  and  Agnes  of  the  Church  Records,

the  so-called  **  Chair,"  bat  she  was  not  washed  from  the  Chair  itself.  She  was  out  with 
others  to  watch  the  very  heavy  surf.  The  popular  tale  that  others  have  been  washed 
from  the  Chair  appears  to  have  only  this  foundation,  that  in  1864  Eveline  Caswell  of 
Gosport  and  Lydia  Varrel  of  Rye  together  were  washed  off  the  rocks,  but  below  this

Gosport  1851  &  1852.  On  the  recommendation  of  Rev.  A.  P.  Peabody 
of  Portsmouth  N.  H.  to  **  The  Society  fer  Propagating  the  Gospel  among 
the  Indians  and  Others  in  North  America"  Oliver  D.  Eastman  of  King- 
ston N.  H.  was  sent  to  this  place  both  as  the  Missionary  to  the  people 
and  Teacher  of  their  school.  ' 

He  made  his  first  visit  May  18^  1851,  had  one  meeting,  visited  and 
prayed  with  every  family. 

Came  to  commence  his  labors  June  13^  and  generally  had  three  meet- 
ings on  the  Sabbath  wh^i  his  health  and  the  weather  would  permit,  and 
some  evening  meetings  during  the  week.  Had  a  sabbath-school  regularly 
of  about  twenty  children. 

He  obtained  as  a  present  from  the  American  Sabbath  School  Union  a 
Library  of  fifty  books  for  the  sabbath  school  in  this  place. 

Some  individuals  in  Newburyport  gave  to  the  school  a  set  of  "  Bliss's 
OotJiBe  Maps ''  eight  in  number  cost  seven  dollars. 

Mr.  £.  Stedman  of  Newburyport  gave  a  bell  weighing  ten  pounds 
through  the  kindness  of  Miss  Mary  C.  Greenleaf  of  Newburyport. 

Messrs  G.  &  C.  Meiriam  of  Springfield  Mass.'  presented  for  the  benefit 
of  the  school  "  Webster's  large  Dictionary."  —  Elder  J.  V.  Himes  of  Bos- 
ton gave  a  quantity  of  Tracts  which  have  been  distributed  from  time  to 
time  among  the  people. 

During  the  winter  some  more  interest  was  manifested  in  the  subject  of 
Religion.  Some  were  reclaimed  from  a  backsliding  state  and  expressed 
their  resolution  to  serve  the  Lord  the  remainder  of  their  life.  May  the 
Lord  bless  them  and  help  them  to  gain  eternal  life.  To  God  be  all  the 
Glory  forever.  There  was  a  summer  school  of  twelve  weeks  commencing 
June  16***  and  ending  September  13"*  1851.  The  whole  number  of  schol- 
ars was  28,  males  14  and  females  14  —  Average  attendance  18.  The 
irregularity  of  the  scholars  attendance  injures  the  school  very  much. 

[144] 
The  studies  pursued  in  the  school  were  arithmetic,  grammar,  geography, 
reading  writing  and  spelling.  The  progress  was  very  good.  The  school 
was  visited  by  Rev.  Mr.  Peabody  &  Mr.  Foster  wiUi  some  others  from 
Portsmouth,  also  Gov.  S.  Dinsmoor  of  Keene  N.  H.  and  several  other 
gentlemen  who  expressed  their  gratification  in  finding  our  school  in  so 
prosperous  a  condition.  The  winter  school  commenced'  Nov.  10,  1851. 
and  continued  17  weeks  ending  March  8***  1852.  Whole  number  of 
scholars  35.  Average  attendance  23.  Number  of  scholars  under  16 
years  of  age  26.  Number  of  scholars  over  16  years  of  age  9.  Amount 
expended  for  fuel  flO  besides  incidental  expenses.  Studies  pursued  in 
the  school^  Arithmetic,  Grammar,  Geography,  Astronomy,  Book-keeping, 
Reading  writing  &  spelling.  Progress  made  in  the  several  branches  was 
very  good.  L.  L.  Thaxter  Esq.  visited  the  school  March  4**^  and  ex- 
pressed his  gratification  &  pleasure  to  observe  the  good  attention  & 
atUunments  of  the  scholars.  May  the  blessing  of  the  Lord  rest  upon  the 
labor  bestowed  upon  the  school,  &  people.  After  a  vacation  of  a  few 
weeks  the  school  was  again  continued  from  April  10  of  [for?]  three 


42  Town  Records  of  Ooaport^  N.  H.  [Jan. 

weeks  and  closed  May  1*^  1852,  making  eight  months.  The  improvement 
in  the  several  branches  taught  has  been  very  good  considering  previous 
opportunities  &  privileges  being  very  limited.  It  is  very  desirable  that 
a  greater  interest  be  had  in  the  subject  of  education.  Truly  it  is  the 
great  stepping  stone  to  usefulness  in  this  world  and  gives  us  strength  of 
mind  to  labor  for  the  interest  of  the  world  to  come

[The  pages  of  the  Records  from  p.  161  to  p.  172  have  at  the  top  tbe 
words  ''  Richard  L.  Randall,  Town  Clerk  "  and  various  dates  in  Mar.  1 857. 
This  seems  to  mean  that  he  either  collected  these  memoranda  at  this  tame 
or  copied  them  from  the  damaged  portion  of  the  old  book.  The  first  part 
of  the  existent  book  I  take  to  be  that  portion  of  the  old  book  which  was 
still  capable  of  preservation.  As  the  new  part  seems  to  have  original  rec- 
ords from  about  1842,  there  must  have  been  for  a  while  two  books  of

POMEROT 

In  Register,  vol.  67,  pp.  261-262  (July  1913),  certain  records  per- 
taining to  the  Pomeroys  of  Beaminster,  co.  Dorset,  were  published,  and  it 
was  stated  that  the  claim  made  by  descendants  of  Eltweed  Pomeroy,  the 
emigrant  to  New  England,  that  he  was  closely  related  to  a  famous 
armorial  family  of  the  name  in  Devon,  seemed  baseless.  It  is  the  purpose 
of  this  communication  to  present  further  evidence  bearing  on  the  alleged 
descent  of  Eltweed  Pomeroy  from  the  Pomeroys  of  Berry-Pomeroy,  co. 
Devon. 

The  Pomeroy  pedigree  which  faces  this  page  is  a  photographic  repro- 
duction of  fo.  109  dor$o  (original  fo.  85  dono)  of  Harleian  MS.  1091,  in 
the  Department  of  Manuscripts  in  the  British  Museum,  London,  this  MS. 
containing  the  Vbitation  of  Devon  in  1564  by  William  Harvey,  Clarenceux 
Cng-of-Arms.  It  has  been  proved  that  the  Pomeroy  family  of  this  photo- 
graphed pedigree  was  a  younger  branch  of  the  very  ancient  armigerous 
fanuly  of  Pomeroy  pf  Berry-Pomeroy,  co.  Devon.  In  this  photograph, 
near  the  bottom  and  above  the  stamp  of  the  British  Museum,  the  pedigree 
ends  with  two  brothers,  Henry  and  John  Pomeroy,  sons  of  Richard  and 
Eleanor  (Coker)  Pomeroy,  and  to  the  name  of  Henry  Pomeroy  a  symbol 
indicating  marriage  b  attached,  with  a  depending  line  that  suggests  that 
he  had  descendants  whose  names  are  not  given  in  the  pedigree.  The 
following  records  show  who  some  of  these  descendants  were. 

In  the  Visitation  of  Devon  in  1620  Arthur  Harrys  entered  a  Harrys 
pedigree,  which  is  reproduced  below.  The  original  drafts  made  by  the 
herslds  for  that  visitation  are  preserved  in  Harleian  MSB.  1 1 63  and  II 64 
in  the  British  Museum,  and  were  printed  in  1872  in  vol.  6  of  the  Publi- 
cations of  the  Harleian  Society,  the  Harrys  pedigree  appearing  on  p.  139 
of  that  volume.

[Of  the  places  mentioned  in  the  foregoing  records,  Berry-Pomeroy,  the 
seat  of  the  Pomeroj  family  from  the  time  of  William  the  Conqueror,  is 
in  the  southern  part  of  Dieyonshire,  Totnes  is  only  two  miles  west  from 
Berry-Pomeroy,  and  Comworthy  is  about  four  miles  south  from  Totnes. 
Churston,  or  Churston-Ferrers,  is  about  six  miles  southeast  from  Berry-

and  named  in  the  Visitation  of  1564,  was  of  Totnes,  co.  Devon,  and 
died  before  June  1559,  when  administration  on  his  estate  was 
surreptitiously  obtained  by  a  Richard  Pomeroy,  as  is  learned  from 
a  later  administration  granted  5  July  1575  to  Richard  Pomeroy, 
the  son  of  Henry,  doubtless  when  this  soa  came  of  age.  (  Vide 
iuprc^  p.  48.) 

Henry  Pomeroy  married,  about  1550,  Agnes  or  Anne  Huck- 
MORE,  daughter  and  heiress  of  William;  she  married  secondly,! 
about  1561,  as  his  second  wife,  Edward  Harris  of  Comworthy,  co. 
Devon,  who  was  buried  there  10  Apr.  1592 ;  she  was  buried  there 
26  Nov.  1602,  being  the  testatrix  of  1  Dec.  1601,  whose  will  has

X  Edward  Harris  evidentlT  had  also  by  his  first  wife, Vowell,  a  son,  John,  who 

Is  named  in  1688,  with  his  three  sons,  Tnomas,  Edward,  and  John,  in  the  will  of  his 
half-bxother,  Arthor  Harris.

coming  of  age  he  obtained  administration  on  his  father's  estate, 
5  July  1575,  as  stated  above.  He  and  his  wife  Alice  are  named  in 
1601  in  the  will  of  his  mother,  Agnes  (Huckmore)  (Pomeroy) 
Harris  of  Comworthy,  who  gave  to  him  her  lands  in  Totnes.  In 
his  own  will,  dated  11  May  1621,  he  neither  names  nor  refers  to 
any  children ;  but  he  gives  to  three  children  of  Robert  Tuckerman 
(husband  of  Agnes  Fortescue,  a  niece  of  the  testator)  a  lamb

of  his  widow,  Alice,  dated  21  Apr.  1628,  neither  names  nor  refers 
to  any  children.  It  is,  therefore,  perfectly  evident  that  this

to  leave  legacies  to  all  of  his  near  kindred,  Inclnding  grand- 
nephews  and  grand-nieces;  and  therefore  the  fact  that  no  de- 
scendants of  his  half-brother,  Richard  Fomeroy,  are  mentioned 
in  this  will  affords  farther  evidence  that  there  were  no  sach 
descendants. 

The  foregoing  records  prove  beyond  question  that  Richard  Pomeroy, 
bom  probably  about  1554,  son  of  Henry  and  Agnes  (Huckmore)  Pomeroy, 
^ed  at  Comwortby,  co.  Devon,  in  June  1621,  leaving  no  issue.  Never- 
theless, I  am  informed  that  the  History  and  Genealogy  of  the  Pomeroy 
Family,  1912,  p.  67,  represents  this  Richard  Pomeroy  as  identical  with  a 
Richard  Pomeroy  who  was  the  father  of  Eltweed  Pomeroy,  the  emigrant 
to  New  England,  baptized  4  July  1585  at  Beaminster,  co.  Dorset,  a  parish 
which  is  over  seventy  miles  northeast  from  Corn  worthy.  As  the  foregoing 
records  prove  that  these  two  Richard  Pomeroys  were  not  identical,  the 
pedigree  given  in  the  History  and  Grenealogy  of  the  Pomeroy  Family 
breaks  down,  and  at  present  nothing  is  known  of  the  ancestry  of  Richard 
Pomeroy  of  Beaminster,  the  father  of  Eltweed.  The  descent  of  Eltweed 
Pomeroy  from  the  armorial  family  of  Pomeroy  of  Berry-Pomeroy  is, 
therefore,  entirely  conjectural,  and  according  to  heraldic  usage  the  de- 
scendants of  Eltweed  Pomeroy  have  no  right  to  bear  the  Pomeroy  arms 
until  the  descent  from  the  armorial  family  has  been  established. 

Considerable  work  has  been  done  in  an  effort  to  find  the  true  ancestry 
of  Richard  Pomeroy  of  Beaminster,  co.  Dorset,  the  father  of  Eltweed 
Pomeroy.  Eighty  Pomeroy  estates  previous  to  1650  are  referred  to  in 
the  calendars  of  the  various  probate  courts  at  Exeter,  co.  Devon,  but  the 
documents  pertaining  to  thirty-four  of  these  estates  are  missing ;  abstracts 
have  been  made  of  the  papers  relating  to  the  remaining  forty-six  estates. 
The  general  probate  records  for  co.  Dorset,  now  preserved  at  Blandford, 
do  not  begin  until  about  1660.  Wills  of  many  testators,  belonging  to 
various  families  of  Beaminster,  Netherbury,  Symondsbury,  and  other 
neighboring  parishes,  in  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury  and  in  the 
Peculiar  Court  of  the  Dean  of  Sarum,  have  been  read.  Some  work  also 
has  been  done  in  searching  the  registers  of  parishes  around  Beaminster. 
No  definite  results  have  been  obtained  ;  but  the  region  aroimd  Beaminster 
teems  with  yeoman  families  named  Pomeroy,  and  at  least  two  Richards 
have  been  found,  either  one  of  whom  maypom%  have  been  identical 
with  Richard  the  father  of  Eltweed. — E.  F.]

minster  being  regarded  as  identical  with  Richard  the  son  of  Henry  and 
Agnes  or  Anne  (Hnckmore)  Pomeroy.  Then  apparently  the  whole  com- 
posite pedigree,  including  these  changes  and  additions,  was  photographed, 
and  was  certifi^  as  has  been  stated  above,  and  it  is  evidently  a  facsimile  of 
this  later  photograph  which  is  given  in  the  History  and  Genealogy  of  the 
Pomeroy  Family.  Obvionsly  such  a  pedigree  has  no  value  as  evidence 
of  the  ancestry  of  Richard  Pomeroy  of  Beiuninster,  the  father  of  the  emi- 
grant Eltweed,  since  it  is  merely  a  present-day  compilation  of  material 
derived  from  various  sources. 

The  records  c^iven  by  Miss  French  in  this  article  destroy  the  particular 
heraldic  line  of  ancestry  that  has  been  claimed  for  Fltweed  Pomeroy. 
Whether  or  not  he  was  in  any  other  way  a  descendant  of  the  Norman 
armorial  family  of  Pomeroy  of  Berry-Pomeroy  can  with  our  present 
knowledge  neither  be  affirmed  nor  denied.  In  America  a  general  miscon- 
ception exists  that  all  persons  bearing  the  same  place-surname,  such  as 
Pomeroy,  Skipwith,  Berkeley,  and  the  like,  are  descendants  of  the  Nor- 
man lords  of  that  place  in  Fngland.  In  reali^,  however,  throughout 
England,  at  the  time  (about  1300)  when  the  common  people  be^ui  to 
assume  hereditary  surnames,  many  peasants  of  Anglo-Saxon  or  British 
origin  and  without  surnames,  whose  ancestors  were  serfs  of  these  Norman 
landlords,  on  removing  from  their  native  places  took  the  names  of  these 
places  as  family  names,  and  became  the  progenitors  of  yeoman  families 
which  bore  surnames  derived  from  place-names  but  were  not  descended 
from  the  Norman  lords  of  those  places.  Fltweed  Pomeroy  may  have  been 
descended  in  some  junior  line  from  the  Norman  armorial  family  of  Pome- 
roy of  Berry-Pomeroy,  but  on  the  other  hand  he  may  not  have  been  of 
their  blood  at  all. — J.  Gabdnbr  Babtlett.]

sible  that  in  the  record  of  the  baptism  of  a  son  of  George,  11  Jane  1597, 
the  name  "  Robert "  should  be  ''  Roger,"  especially  since  in  an  entry  in 
1630  *'  Robert "  seems  to  be  an  error  for  "  Roger."  It  is  possible  also 
that  Roger  Babbage  was  a  son  of  the  Thomas  Babbedge  who  married 
Beaten  Davyes  in  1596,  his  first  child  recorded  in  Totnes  being  baptized 
six  years  later  in  1602,  and  one  of  his  sons  being  christened  Christopher, 
a  name  given  also  to  one  of  Roger's  children.  It  is  possible  also  that 
Roger  Babbage  of  Totnes  was  the  Roger  mentioned  in  1604  in  the  will  of 
Alice  Babbage  of  Abbots  Eerswell,  a  parish  about  six  miles  from  Totnes. 
The  lack  of  wills  makes  a  settlement  of  this  question  difficult.  It  is  not 
known  when  Roger  Babbage  died ;  but  his  son  Roger  is  called  ''  Jun."

1655,  AoNBS  Tbigg  or  Triggs,  daughter  of  John  Trigg,  Tricks, 
or  Trix,  of  Totnes.*  About  1662  he  emigrated  to  Salens  Mass., 
sailing  horn  Dartmouth  in  the  ship  Nathaniel,  John  Adams,  master, 
as  the  following  deposition  of  Nicholas  Bartlet  and  Damaris  Phip- 
peny  states :  '*  2  September  1706,  Nicholas  BarUet  aged  eighty  six 
years  and  Damaris  Phippeny  aged  fifty  nine  years  depose  that  forty- 
four  years  ago  they  came  to  New  England  in  the  ship  Nathaniel  of 
Dartmouth,  John  Adams  master,  ana  with  them  came  Christopher 
Babbidge  of  Tatness,  son  of  Ro^er  and  Hester  Babbage ;  that  the 
said  Christopher  had  three  brothers  named  Richard,  Roger,  and 
John,  and  a  sister  Jone;  that  he  served  his  time  with  George 
Markes,  taUor,  of  Tatness,  that  he  married  Agnes  Triggs  of  Totness, 
and  that  deponents  were  his  next  neighbors  there."  (Notarial 
Records,  Salem,  Mass.,  vol.  1,  p.  61.)  There  were  numerous  Bart- 
letts  in  Totnes,  but  no  Nicholas  Bartlett  appears  in  the  registers. 
Nor  did  I  find  about  1 647  any  child  of  any  family  who  was  christened 
*'  Damaris."  I  strongly  suspect  that  the  deponent  Damaris  Phip- 
peny, then  wife  of  Joseph  Phippeny  and  formerly  wife  of  Thomas 
Searle,  was  Damaris  Bartlett,  and  a  daughter  of  Nicholas  Bartlett. 
Agnes  (Triggs)  Babbage  died  at  Salem  17  Nov.  1667;  and  Chris- 
topher Babbage  married  secondly,  5  Oct  1674,  Mbs.  Hannah 
(Jkwett)  Cableton,  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Mary  (Mallinson), 
and  widow  of  John  of  Haverhill.  Christopher  Babbo^et  was  living

the  widow,  and  the  following  children :  John,  Jonathan,  Job,  Josiah,  Mary, 
and  Abigail  Whitcomb ;  but  the  wording  of  the  petition  indicates  that  the

THE  LINCOLNSHIKE  ORIGIN  OF  SOME  EXETER 
SETTLERS 

By  ViOTOR  Chaknino  Sanbo&n,  Esq.,  of  Kenilwortht  III. 

Lincoln  Minster  stands,  if  not  supreme,  at  least  in  the  front 
rank  of  English  cathedrals.  Its  archives  form  a  treasure  house  of 
historical  material,  as  doubtless  do  those  of  many  another  episcopal 
see.  But  the  diocese  of  Lincoln  fortunately  has  in  Canon  Foster 
an  antiquary  whose  energy  and  ability  have  made  this  vast  store  of 
records  accessible  to  the  student.  The  genealogist  will  inevitably 
compare  these  Lincoln  records  with  those  of  many  other  dioceses, 

Seatly  to  the  disadvantage  of  the  latter.  It  is  earnestly  to  be 
ped  that  before  it  is  too  late  the  local  authorities  of  other  dioceses 
will  cause  their  archives  to  be  arranged  in  the  same  systematic 
manner. 

It  is  owing  to  Canon  Foster's  labors  and  courtesy  that  I  am  able 
to  present  these  notes  gleaned  in  a  visit  to  Lincoln  last  sununer. 
The  transcripts  of  Lincolnshire  parish  registers  exist  from  an  early 
period.  They  supplement  to  a  great  degree  the  local  regiMers,  where 
these  have  disappeared  wholly  or  partially  in  the  lapse  of  centuries. 
We  searched  the  transcripts  of  thirty  parishes  within  a  five-mile 
radius  of  Wheelwright's  own  parish  of  Bilsby.  The  results  prove 
the  origin  of  several  of  our  early  Exeter  and  Sbunpton  settlers  — 
Cram,  Dearborn,  Babone  or  Habome,  Wight,  and  Willix,  and 
supply  new  data  concerning  the  Wheelwrights.

Several  of  the  American  Grams  have  attained  distinction  in  art,  lettersi 
and  military  affairs.  They  all  descend  from  John  Gram  or  Gramme, 
who  b  first  found  near  Boston  at  Muddy  River,  where  his  house-lot  waa 
bounded  in  Jan.  1637/8.t  He  went  to  £xeter  with  Wheelwright,  and  his 
name  is  attached  to  the  Gombination  of  1639.     Later  he  was  of  Hampton. 

Family  genealogists  have  identified  him  with  a  John  Gram,  bom  at 
Felling  in  co.  Durham  in  1607,  son  of  Burchard  Gram,  who  was  perhaps 
descended  from  the  Von  Gramms,  a  German  baronial  family.  This  theory 
has  rested  mainly  on  a  lease  of  certain  fish-pools  in  co.  Durham,  said  to 
have  been  made  in  1 634  by  John  Gram,  who  is  therein  mentioned  as  *'  being 
about  to  travel  to  foreign  parts,"  and  who  was  entitled  to  his  share  "  when 
he  shall  have  returned  from  over  seas." 

As  our  John  Gram  was  one  of  a  group  of  Lincolnshire  men  at  Muddy

t  Second  Report  of  the  Boston  Record  Commissioners,  pp.  22-3.  The  allotmenit 
of  Jan.  1637/8  were  evidently  the  final  record  of  the  act  of  a  committee  appointed  al  a 
prior  meeting,  on  14  Dec.  1636.  Therefore  onr  John  Cram  mar  hare  reached  New 
England  in  1636  or  earlier.  Probably  he  came  over  either  with  William  and  Aaoe 
Hutchinson  in  1634  or  with  Wheelwright  in  1686. 


1914]  Lincolnshire  Origin  ofUxeter  Settlers  67 

Rirer  and  later  at  Exeter  and  Hampton,  and  as  the  name  of  Cram  is  still 
found  in  Lincolnshire,  I  questioned  Uiis  presumed  identification. 

First,  I  found  the  will  (of  which  an  abstract  is  given  above)  of  Thomas 
Crambe  of  Bilsby,  dated  in  1 638  and  mentioning  a  son  John.  Then  the 
Bilsby  transcripts  showed  the  baptism  of  this  son  John  in  1596/7  and  his 
marriage  in  1624  to  Esther  White.  The  Willoughby  transcripts  disclosed 
a  connection  between  these  Crams  and  the  Wheelwrights.  Finally,  in  the 
transcripts  of  Farlsthorpe,  the  next  parish  to  Bilsby,  I  found  the  baptism 
of  ''  Joseph  the  sonne  of  John  Crame  and  Heaster  his  wife  "  in  1632  —  the 
very  son  Joseph  who  was  drowned  at  Exeter  in  New  England  24  June 
1648. 

Bell  quotes  from  some  Exeter  record,  which  I  cannot  identify,  the  death 
of  this  son  Joseph,  describing  him  as  ''aged  15  years,  the  son  of  John  and 
lide  Cram."  On  the  strength  of  this  Bell  and  Pope  credit  our  John 
Cram  with  a  first  wife,  Lydia,  besides  the  wife  Hester  with  whom  he  lived 
so  many  years.  Luckily  the  death  of  this  son  Joseph  is  also  entered  in 
the  old  Norfolk  County  records,*  and  there  he  is  called  "Josepth,  son 
of  John  and  Hester  Cram.'*  Thus  the  alleged  Exeter  record  is  proved  to 
be  a  mere  scrivener's  error,  and  the  identification  of  our  John  Cram  with 
the  John  of  Bilsby  and  Farlsthorpe  b  complete. 

He  was  undoubtedly  the  son  of  Thomas  Cram  or  Crambe  of  Bilsby,  and

The  Dearboms  are  a  typical  American  family  of  the  older  class.  They 
were  among  the  earlier  settlers  of  New  Hampshire,  and  their  integrity 
and  sterling  worth  qualified  them  to  conduct  with  ability  the  larger  affairs 
of  their  growing  nation.  The  frontier  post  bearing  their  name  has  grown 
into  the  second  largest  city  of  the  United  States.  Their  most  distinguished 
member  was  Maj.-Gen.  Henry  Dearborn.  A  young  doctor  in  Nottingham 
Square,  he  raised  a  company  of  minutemen  in  a  day  after  the  news  of 

«  This  marriage  hat  been  printed  in  Phillimore't  Lincolnshire  Pariah  Begistert.

Concord  Fight,  marched  them  at  doable  quick  to  the  front,  fooghi  at 
Banker  Hill,  and  served  with  distinction  through  the  RevolnUon.  In 
later  years  he  served  through  the  War  of  1812,  was  Jackson's  secretary 
of  war,  and  was  accredited  minister  to  Portugal.  His  son,  a  major-genend 
of  miUtia,  lived  in  more  peaceful  times,  organized  the  Massachusetts 
Horticultural  Society,  and  laid  out  the  beautiful  Mount  Auburn  Cemetery 
at  Cambridge. 

The  first  of  this  sturdy  race  to  come  to  New  England  was  Godfrey 
Dearborn,  who  signed  Wheelwright's  Combination  at  Exeter  in  1639. 
All  the  earlier  accounts  of  the  family,  including  the  excellent  genealogy 
minted  in  the  Beqister,  vol.  2,  state  that  Godfrey  Dearborn  was  bom  m 
Devonshire  in  England.  Where  this  persistent  misstatement  originated  I 
do  not  know.  In  the  Reoister,  vol.  60,  p.  308, 1  showed  that  the  family 
came  probably  from  Lincolnshire. 

In  the  transcripts  of  the  parish  registers  of  Hannah  I  found  the  baptisms 
of  the  two  older  sons  of  our  Godfrey  Dearborn,  who  was  a  weaver  there. 
He  was  the  son  of  William  Dearebarn  of  Willoughby,  a  parish  which  was 
the  birthplace  of  Capt  John  Smith  and  gave  the  family  name  to  a  dis- 
tinguished Lincolnshire  line,  the  Lords  Wuloughby  d'Eresby. 

Curiously  enough,  the  name  of  Derbume  is  also  found  in  Somersetshire 
and  Devonshire.  In  Lincolnshire  the  name  b  spelled  Dearebame,  as  it  is 
spelled  in  the  will  of  our  Godfrey  Dearborn,  whose  pedigree  may  possibly 
be  as  foUows :

1685/6.  He  signed  the  Combination  at  Exeter  in  1639,  and  lived 
there  until  1648/9,  when  he  moved  to  Hampton.  The  name  of  his 
first  wife,  whom  he  married  in  England,  is  miknown,  but  she  was 
living  in  1650,  when,  as  Goody  I>&arbam,  a  seat  was  allotted  to 
her  in  the  Hampton  meeting-house.  He  married  secondly,  25  Nov. 
1662,  Dorothy  Dalton,  widow  of  Philemon  of  Hampton.  His 
will,  dated  in  1680,  was  not  proved  undl  1711.  It  is  signed  ^  God-

1688  Jane  daughter  of  William  Habume  buried  12  January  [1638/9]. 

Among  the  signers  of  Wheelwright's  Combination  was  one  with  the 
curious  name  of  George  Rawbone,  also  known  as  Rabone  or  Haborae. 
He  went  with  Wheelwright  to  Wells,  but  removed  to  Hampton  in  1651 
and  died  there  before  3  Oct  1654,  when  hb  nuncupative  will  was  proved 
in  the  Norfolk  County  Court,  leaving  all  his  estate  to  his  wife  Susanna. 
Thomas  Levet  and  Robert  Smith  of  Exeter,  both  Lincolnshire  men,  ap- 
praised his  estate.  The  widow  married  secondly  Thomas  Leader  of  Boston, 
and  died  in  1657,  leaving  bequests  to  many  of  the  Wheelwright  group, 
Levet  and  Godfrey  Dearborn  witnessing  her  will.  All  this  convinced  me 
that  Rabone  also  was  a  Lincolnshire  man,  and  I  found  in  the  transcripts 
of  Huttoft  several  entries  which  confirm  that  idea.  From  the  records  which 
are  given  above  it  will  be  seen  that  the  names  Rabone  and  Habume  were 
interchangeable  at  Huttoft,  which  is  a  Lincolnshire  parish  within  four 
miles  of  Alford  and  Bilsby.

Most  of  these  Wheelwright  records  are  now  published  for  the  first  time. 
The  Wyll'm  Wheylwreyth  of  Farforth,  co.  Lincoln,  the  testator  of  1550, 
who  had  *wife  Marion  and  sons  Robert,  John,  Ralph,  and  Thomas,  may 
have  been  an  ancestor,  perhaps  the  grandfather,  of  John  and  Robert, 
the  testators  of  1610/11  and  1611,  but  evidence  on  this  point  is  lacking. 
The  following  pedigree,  however,  b  derived  chiefly  from  these  records ;

He  married  first  Alice ,  who  was  buried  at  Cumberworth  in 

1592 ;  secondly  Catherine  ,  who  was  buried  at  Saleby  8 

July  1605 ;  and  thirdly,  at  Saleby,  17  Nov.  1 606,  Catherine  Monbt^ 
widow  of  John.

bef.  18  Oct.  1611,  as  she  Is  not  mentioned  in  her  father*s  will. 

IL  John,  b.  abt.  1592,  since  he  was  a  minor  in  1611,  when  his  father 
made  his  will,  but  was  of  age  7  Mar.  1612/13,  when  the  will  was 
proved.  He  was  the  celebrated  Antinomian,  the  founder  of  Exeter 
and  third  pastor  at  Hampton,  N.  H.  See  Register,  vol.  21,  pp. 
863-366  (article  by  Col.  Chester) ;  Bell's  Memoir  of  John  Wheel- 
wright; Charles  Francis  Adams's  Three  Episodes  of  Massachu- 
setts History,  vol.  1,  pp.  368  et  seq. 

Children  by  second  wife : 

ill.    Elizabeth,  bapt.  at  Cumberworth  24  June  1596. 

iv.    Katherine,  bapt.  at  Cumberworth  23  Mar.  1599/1600. 

V.     Ellen  or  Eltnor,  bapt.  at  Cumberworth  29  June  1601. 

From  this  pedigree  it  appears  that  Robert  Wheelwright  of  Mumby,  who 
died  26  Feb.  1621/2,  was  a  cousin,  not  an  uncle,  of  Rev.  John  Wheel- ' 
wiight.     There  were  not,  therefore,  as  Col.  Chester  supposed,  two  broth- 
ers named  Robert  Wheelwright,  but  an  uncle  and  a  nephew  of  that  name. 

In  Col.  Chester's  day  the  transcripts  at  Lincoln  were  not  as  carefully 
arranged  as  they  are  now,  for  none  are  now  missing,  and  in  several,  which 
have  apparently  been  found  since  Col.  Chester  made  his  search,  there  are 
Wheelwright  records  of  importance.  For  instance,  the  burial  of  John 
Wheelwright's  first  wife  is  in  the  Bilsby  transcript  for  1629.  This  tran- 
script was  supposed  to  be  mbsing,  and  from  its  non-appearance  the  support- 
ers of  the  "Wheelwright  Deed"  claimed  that  John  Wheelwright  might 
have  been  in  New  England  in  that  year.  In  fact,  it  is  in  the  Se,  and  is 
signed,  like  others,  "  John  Whelewright,  vicar." 

The  record  of  the  baptism  of  Susanna  Whelewright  in  1628  is  also  a 
new  discovery.  It  was  she  who  mawied  Edward  Rishworth.  Previously 
printed  pedigrees  have  stated  that  her  husband  was  a  son  of  the  Edward 
Rishworth  of  the  Exeter  Combination,  but  I  believe  that  in  fact  her  hus- 
band was  the  original  Exeter  settler. 

Attention  has  already  been  called  to  the  connection  shown  in  the  tran- 
scripts between  the  Crams  and  the  Wheelwrights. 

It  is  worth  noting  that  the  land  in  Mawthorpe,  parish  of  Willoughby, 
which  Wheelwright  bought  from  Francis  Levet  (Register,  vol.  67,  pp. 
66-67)  was  acquired  during  Wheelwright's  last  visit  to  England,  in  1 658. 
At  this  date  Francis  Levet,  who  is  described  in  Wheelwright's  deed  to 
Crispe  as  a  ''  gentleman,  of  North  Willingham,"  had  not  taken  orders,  and 
therefore  could  not  be  called  a  clergyman.  My  theory  is  that  this  Francis 
Levet  was  an  own  cousin  of  Thomas  Levet  of  Exeter  and  Hampton.

Thomas  Wight,  one  of  the  signers  of  the  Exeter  Combination,  is  con* 
gidered  by  Savage  to  be  a  Thomas  Wright,  but  wherever  the  name  appears 
in  autograph  the  surname  is  distinctly  Wight  and  nothing  else.  Appar- 
ently he  left  no  descendants  who  remained  in  New  England.  He  did  not 
move  from  Exeter  when  Wheelwri^t  left  He  appears  occasionally  on 
the  records,  and  was  made  a  freeman  in  1647.  After  this  date  we  find 
him  no  more  on  the  records,  and  I  think  he  died  about  1650,  leaving  a 
minor  son,  Israel  Wight.  Israel  seems  to  have  been  a  ward  of  Capt. 
Richard  Waldron  of  Dover,  and  came  of  age  about  1664.  In  1665  admin- 
istration on  the  estate  of  Thomas  Wight  of  Exeter  was  granted  by  the 
County  Court  to  Israel  Wight  Previous  to  his  coming  of  age  Israel  had 
perhaps  been  a  servant  or  prot^g^  of  Gov.  Bellingham,  for  we  find  him  in 
1656  witnessing  a  deed  from  Bellingham  to  Evenll  and  a  mortgage  taken 
back.  At  the  Quarterly  Court  in  Sidisbury,  Apr.  1 664,  Israel  Wight  sued 
Capt  Waldron  for  withholding  his  estate,  which  had  been  committed  to 
Capt  Waldron  at  the  time  when  Waldron  was  guardian  for  Wight  The 
case  went  up  to  the  Court  of  Assistants,  and  fin^y  to  the  General  Court, 
which  heard  it  in  1666,  but  by  this  time  Israel  Wight  had  apparently  left 
the  country. 

Thomas  Wight  is  an  interesting  link,  for  he  was  one  of  the  grantees 
named  in  the  ''  Wheelwright  Deed."  The  only  family  of  the  name  I  found 
in  Lincolnshire  was  that  of  Robert  Wight,  a  clergyman  at  Hareby^  a

he  had  a  son  Thomas,  baptized  6  Dec.  1607,  who  may  have  been  the 
Exeter  settler,  although  proof  that  he  was  the  Thomas  Wight  of  the  Com-

80  Lincolnshire  Origin  of  Exeter  Settlers  [Jan. 

Balthazar  Willix  was  a  settler  at  Exeter  in  New  England  in  1640,  and 
Mr.  Frank  W.  Hackett,  in  a  brief  article  containing  interesting  informa- 
tion about  him  and  his  family  (Register,  vol.  50,  pp.  46-48),  stated  that 
his  name  could  scarcely  be  English.  He  was  unquestionably  the  son  of 
Balthasar  Willick  or  Willech  of  Alford,  co.  Lincoln,  the  testator  of  1598/9, 
who  had  a  wife  Anne,  and  who  was  buried  at  Alford  13  Feb.  1598/9. 
The  entries  in  the  transcripts  of  the  Alford  registers  show  the  baptisms  of 
three  sons  of  the  elder  Balthasar,  namely,  Peregrine,  22  July  1593,  Bal- 
thasar (the  Exeter  settler),  27  July  1595,  and  !^wani,  30  Apr.  1598,  and 
the  burial  of  a  daughter  Susanna,  28  May  1600.  Of  the  three  witnesses 
to  the  will  of  Balthasar  Willick  of  Alford  Robert  Wight  was  perhaps  the 
father  of  Thomas  Wight  of  Exeter,  as  we  have  seen ;  Leonard  Thory  was 
of  a  good  Lincolnshire  family ;  and  William  Bellingham  lived  at  Alford, 
married  there,  3  July  1600,  Anne,  the  widow  of  Balthasar  Willick,  and 
had  a  daughter  Susanna,  baptized  there  1  Sept.  1601.  This  daughter  was 
married  at  Alford,  11  Oct.  1627,  to  Philemon  Pormort,  later  of  Boston, 
where  he  was  schoolmaster,  Exeter,  and  Wells.  William  Bellingham 
made  his  will  25  Aug.  1606,  and  was  buried  at  Alford  2  Sept.  1606.* 

This  Bellingham  connection  is  interesting,  although  I  do  not  believe 
that  the  Alford  yeoman  was  closely  if  at  all  related  to  the  morose  and 
aristocratic  Puritan,  Richard  Bellingham,  recorder  of  Boston  in  England 
and  governor  of  the  Massachusetts  Bay. 

B^thasar  Willick  of  Alford  seems  to  have  been  a  man  of  substance, 
and  was  perhaps  a  proteg^  of  Peregrine  Bertie,  Lord  Willoughby  d^Eres- 
by.  The  oldest  son  of  this  Balthasar  was  evidently  named  Peregrine  in 
honor  of  Lord  Willoughby,  and  here  one  may  indulge  in  theory  to  help 
out  the  gaps  in  genealogy.  Nowhere  else  in  Lincolnshire  or  in  England 
have  I  found  the  name  of  Willick.  It  has  a  Flemish  sound.  Peregrine 
Bertie  was  a  typical  Elizabethan  nobleman,  a  friend  of  Sidney,  and  in 
command  when  the  latter  fell  at  Zutphen.  Bertie  was  bom  at  Cleves,  and 
from  1582  to  1590  was  almost  constantly  abroad  on  diplomatic  or  military 
service,  mainly  in  Holland  and  the  Low  Countries.     In  1597  he  was  made 

fovernor  of  Berwick  Castle.  He  died  in  1601,  and  is  buried  at  Spilsby  in 
Lincolnshire.  It  may  well  be  that  Lord  Willoughby  attached  to  himself 
the  Flemish  youth,  Balthasar  Willech,  and  brought  him  to  England  on 
one  of  his  numerous  visits.  This  would  explain  the  fact  that  tSe  name 
appears  nowhere  else  in  England,  and  might  account  for  the  leaseholds 
which  Balthasar  Willech  of  Alford  acquired  from  his  lord. 

It  would  be  interesting  to  follow  the  line  of  Anna  Willix,  one  of  the 
daughters  of  Balthazar  of  Exeter,  who,  according  to  the  records  presented 
by  Mr.  Hackett,  married  first  Robert  Roscoe,  who  moved  to  Roanoke 

and  died  there ;  secondly Blunt ;  thirdly Southwell ;  and 

fourthly  Col.  Leare  of  Virginia.!  It  will  be  remembered  that  Winthrop 
recites  with  rather  too  much  particularity  the  murder  of  the  first  wife  of 
Balthazar  Willix  of  Exeter.  The  recently  published  files  of  the  old  Nor- 
folk County  Court  show  that  at  the  court  at  Hampton,  7  Sept.  1648,  Wil- 
lex  sued  one  Robert  Hithersay  "  for  raising  an  evil  report  of  his  deceased 
wife,  and  for  breach  of  promise  in  carrying  hb  wife  to  Oyster  River  in  a 
canoe  and  not  bringing  her  up  in  a  canoe  again."  Hithersay,  who  roved 
from  Concord  to  Lynn,  Exeter,  and  York,  was  apparently  a  wayward 
character,  and  may  have  been  suspected  of  the  murder.

1914]  English  Aneeatry  of  American  Belknapa 


THE  ENGLISH  ANCESTRY  OF  THE  AMERICAN 
BELKNAPS 

Bj  Hbnbt  Wtokoft  Bblxnap,  Esq.,  of  Salem,  Maas. 

At  different  times  during  the  past  fifteen  or  eighteen  years  the 
compiler  of  this  article  has  attempted  to  discover  the  ancestry  of 
Abraham  Belknap,  who  was  a  landowner  at  Lynn,  Mass.,  in  1635 
or  thereabouts,  and  who  brought  with  him,  when  he  came  to  New 
England,  his  wife  Mary  and  several  children. 

These  efforts  resulted  in  the  acquisition  of  a  considerable  amount 
of  information  about  a  knightly  family  of  Belknaps,  from  Sir  Rob- 
ert de  Belknap,  who  was  chief  justice  of  the  Court  of  Common 
Pleas  in  the  time  of  Richard  II  and  died  in  1400,  down  to  his  great- 
gnndson,  Sir  Edward,  who  was  bom  in  1473,  was  custodian  of 
Warwick  Castle  and  a  privy  councillor  of  Henry  VIII,  and  died  2ft 
Mar.  1521,  leaving  no  sons. 

The  clue,  however,  which  led  to  the  discovery  of  the  English 
home  of  the  ancestors  of  Abraham  Belkm^  was  obtained  from  an 
old  gentleman  whose  acquaintance  was  made  several  years  ago 
through  his  reply  to  some  genealogical  queries.  He  had  formerly 
lived  in  the  parish  of  Sawbridgeworth,  co.  Herts,  and  remembered 
that  the  name  Belknap  occurred  in  the  parish  registers  there.  He 
was  employed  to  make  a  seareh,  and  in  due  time  produced  many 
entries  from  the  registers  of  St.  Mary  the  Ghreat,  Sawbridgeworth, 
together  with  a  number  of  wills  from  the  Commissary  Court  of  Lon- 
don for  Essex  and  Herts.  By  piecing  together  the  facts  obtained 
from  these  records  an  incomplete  pedigree  of  the  family  was  secured, 
and  a  certain  Bennet  or  Benedict  Belknap  seemed  most  likely  to  be 
the  father  of  the  American  immigrant.  Unfortunately,  however, 
the  will  of  this  particular  man,  while  recorded  as  having  been  offered 
for  probate,  was  nowhere  to  be  found,  and  the  officmls  connected 
with  the  probate  registry  came  to  the  conclusion  that  it  had  been 
placed  at  some  time  in  the  wrong  bundle  and  was  therefore  prao^ 
tically  lost. 

The  search,  therefore,  came  to  a  standstill  until  about  two  years 
ago,  when  it  was  decided  to  make  one  more  attempt  to  identify 
positively  the  father  of  the  immigrant.  The  services  of  Mr.  Charles 
A.  Bemau  of  London  were  obtained,  and  he  was  furnished  with  all 
the  material  at  hand. 

Mr.  Bemau  began  his  search  with  the  Lay  Subsidy  Rolls  in  the 
Public  Record  Office  in  London,  and  there  discovered  that  the  sur- 
name of  the  Sawbridgeworth  branch  of  the  Belknap  family  was 
sometimes  Beltoft  or  Beltofte.  With  this  fact  in  mind,  it  was  easy 
to  find  in  the  probate  records  the  missing  will  of  Bennet  Beltoft, 
the  father  of  Abraham  Belknap.  It  had  been  proved  15  June  1624 
by  his  widow  Grace  and  his  son  Josias  in  the  Commissary  Court  of

London  for  Essex  and  Herts,  and  was  entered  in  the  Probate  Act 
Book  for  1623-1626  under  the  name  Belknapp^  while  it  appeared 
in  the  Calendars  of  Wills  under  the  name  Beltofi^  which  is  the 
form  used  in  the  will. 

These  facts  were  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  authorities  at 
Somerset  House,  and  both  in  the  Calendars  and  in  the  Probate  Act 
Book  the  entry  has  been  made  to  read  **Belknap  otherwise  Beltoft."* 

In  this  number  of  the  Seqisteb  and  in  the  issue  for  April 
some  English  records  relating  to  the  family  of  Belknap  alias  Beltoft 
will  be  given,  and  these  will  be  followed  by  a  pedigree  showing  the 
ancestry  of  the  American  immigrant,  f 

The  papers  immediately  following  are  preserved  in  the  Public 
Record  Office,  London,  and  relate  to  a  case  in  Chancery,  begun 
not  later  than  1549,  in  which  Richard  Beltoft,  grandfather  of  the 
New  England  settler,  Abraham  Belknap,  was  complainant.  Of 
the  documents  in  this  case  apparently  only  the  depositions  of  the 
witnesses  for  the  defendant  are  missing.  These  records  are  printed 
here  in  full.  The  exact  relationship  of  Richard  Beltoft,  the  com- 
plainant, to  the  brothers  John  and  Edmond  Beltoft  who  are  men- 
tioned in  this  case  has  not  yet  been  proved ;  but  it  is  believed  that 
a  Henry  Beltofte,  who  was  buried  at  Sawbridgeworth,  co.  Herts, 

5  July  1561,  was  a  brother  of  John  and  Edmond  Beltoft,  and  that 
the  complainant  Richard  was  a  son  of  this  Henry.

EMINENT  NOVA  SCOTIANS  OF  NEW  ENGIiAND  BIRTH 

By  Bey.  Abthub  Wentwobth  Hamilton  Eaton»  D.C.L.,  of  Boston^  Mass. 

Number  Two 

HON.  HIBBERT  NEWTON 

Hon.  Hibbert  Newton,  one  of  the  earliest  Bostonians  to  settle  in  Nova 
Scotia  after  its  final  capture  from  the  French  in  1710,  was  the  only  son  of 
Thomas  Newton,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  who  is  said  to  have  been  bom  in  Eng- 
land 10  June  1660  and  who  died  in  Boston  28  May  1721.  Thomas  Newton 
i^peared  in  Boston  in  1688,  Chief  Justice  Sewall  calling  him  ^*  a  newcomer  " 
there  (5  Mass,  BxsU  Soc,  CoU.j  vol.  1,  p.  216).  He  was  sworn  there  as  an 
attorney  7  June  1688;  but  in  his  own  affidavit  (t6.,  vol.  1,  p.  55),  made 
apparently  in  1707,  he  states  that  he  has  been  in  New  England  ''for  near 
sixteen  years  last  past."  In  Sept  1692  he  was  in  New  EEampshire  as 
secretary  of  that  province.  In  Boston  he  became  a  leading  lawyer,  being 
the  first  member  of  the  legal  profession  in  Massachusetts  who  was  called 
barrister  (Register,  vol.  31,  p.  206).  He  was  employed  in  the  investi- 
gation of  persons  accused  of  witchcraft,  was  appointed  deputy-jud^e  in  the 
Uourt  of  Vice-Admiralty  for  Massachusetts  Bay,  New  Hampshire,  and 

*  Joseph^  Huckins  tdopted  m  his  son  George  M.  Cross,  son  of  Joseph  and  Elixa 
(Batchelder)  Cross.  George  M.  Cross  (afterwards  George  M.  Haokins)  was  bom  at 
Wentworth  4  Jaly  1863,  and  married  31  Mar.  1890  Ella  S.  I^amprey,  bom  at  Orford  20 
July  1867,  daughter  of  George  W.  and  Celinda  C.  (Trussell).  George  M.  Huckins, 
fanner,  and  wife  were  Hying  at  Orfordyille  in  1910. 


102  UTova  Scotians  ofJiTew  England  Birth.  [Jan. 

Rhode  Island,  was  sworn  as  comptroller  of  Her  Majesty's  Customs  31  Oct 
1707,  and  was  appointed  attorney-general,  probably  in  Jane  1720.  He 
was  one  of  the  founders  of  King's  Chapel,  was  a  member  of  its  f estry  in 
1699,  and  was  warden  in  17&  and  afterwards;  and  in  1853  his  great- 
grandson,  Hon.  Edward  Augustus  Newton,  placed  in  that  venerable  church 
a  tablet  to  his  memory.*  (Annals  of  Bang's  Chapel,  vol.  1,  p.  182.)  His 
will,  dated  6  Mar.  1720/1,  was  proved  5  June  1721.  His  valuable  library, 
which,  it  was  said,  contained  the  best  collection  of  law  books  that  had  ever 
been  offered  for  sale  in  this  country,  was  advertised  for  sale  soon  after  his 
death.  That  his  wife  Christian,  whose  maiden  name  is  unknown  (although 
it  may  possibly  have  been  Phillips),  was  a  widow  when  Thomas  Newton 
married  her  seems  probable  from  the  statement  in  her  will,  dated  in  Boston 
19  Mar.  1727/8  and  proved  12  Feb.  1730/1,  that  her  "daughter  Thomp. 
son"  is  to  have  her  "estate  at  Plastow  in  old  England."  The  children 
of  Thomas  and  Christian  Newton  were :  Hibbert,  the  subject  of  this  sketch ; 
Elizabeth,  who  probably  died  unmarried;  Christian,  who  was  married,  11 
Feb.  1723/4,  to  John  Wiunwright  of  Ipswich ;  and  Hannah,  who  also  may 
have  died  unmarried. 

The  date  of  the  birth  of  Hibbert  Newton  is  unknown.  He  may  have 
participated  in  the  siege  of  Annapolis  Royal,  N.  S.,  but  there  is  no  record 
of  his  presence  there  at  that  time.  In  1711,  however,  when  he  was  pre- 
sumably under  twenty-five  years  of  age,  he  was  appointed  (through  what 
direct  influence  is  not  revealed)  collector  of  customs  at  Annapolis  Royal, 
then  and  until  1749  the  capital  of  Nova  Scotia,  and  he  held  this  position 
until  his  death  in  1751.  This  collectorship  was  the  chief  coUectorship  of 
customs  in  Nova  Scotia,  and  for  a  time,  at  least,  the  collectorship  of  Canso 
was  coupled  with  that  of  Annapolis.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Military 
Council  of  Nova  Scotia,  having  been  appointed  by  Grovemor  Phillips  6  May 
1720,  when  he  formed  his  first  council  at  Annapolis  Royal,  but  his  name 
is  not  found  among  the  members  in  attendance  after  July  1725.  (Nova 
Scotia  Archives,  vol.  3.)  During  his  life  of  over  forty  years  at  Annapo- 
lis Royal  Mr.  Newton's  intercourse  with  Boston  was  frequent.  He  un- 
doubtedly spent  much  time  in  that  town,  and  in  1738  his  sisters  Elizabeth 
and  Christian  conveyed  to  him  a  house  on  Marlborough  Street  of  which  he 
was  already  in  possession.  His  will,  dated  4  May  1750  and  proved  5  June 
1752,  is  recorded  in  Boston. 

Hibbert  Newton  married,  probably  at  Annapolis  Royal,  although  the  date 
of  the  marriage  is  unknown,  Hannah  Adams,  baptized  in  Boston  17  Sept.

it  with  the  Bottom  Newt-Letter  for  the  week  from  Monday,  May  22,  to  Monday,  Mav 
29, 1721.  which  contains  the  following :  **  On  the  Lord's  Day  Mornins  the  28th  Instant,

1699,  daughter  of  John  and  Hannah  of  Boston  and  of  Annapolis  Boyal,  John 
Adams  also  being  a  member  for  many  years  of  the  Military  Council  of 
Nova  Scotia.     (Begistbr,  yoI  32,  pp.  132,  133.) 

Accordingto  Hibbert  Newton's  wUl,  he  and  his  wife  Hannah  had  nine 
children :  Thomas ;  Phillips,  commissioned  a  first  lieutenant  of  the  40th 
Regiment  29  July  1751  and  ci^tain-lieutenant  of  the  48th  Regiment  8  Apr. 
1762 ;  Hibbert,  baptized  at  King's  Chapel,  Boston,  6  May  1725  and  com- 
missioned a  first  lieutenant  of  the  40th  Regiment  15  Oct.  1754 ;  William ; 
John;  Henry,  bom  in  1731,  for  whom  see  below;  Christian;  Hannah 
Adams,  married  (license  granted  26  July  1759),  as  his  second  wife,  to  Hon. 
Jonathan  Binney,  M.C.,  who  was  bom  at  Hull,  Mass.,  7  Jan.  1724/5  and 
was  the  founder  of  an  important  family  in  Halifax,  his  grandson  Hibbert 
becoming  the  fourth  Anglican  bishop  of  Nova  Scotia ;  and  Mary. 

Hon.  Henry  Newton,  youngest  son  of  Hon.  Hibbert  Newton,  became 
chief  collector  of  customs  for  Nova  Scotia  at  Halifax  on  his  father*8  death 
in  1751,  was  admitted  to  the  Council  in  1761,  and  died  in  office  as  collect<» 
in  1802,  his  father  and  he  haying  held  the  office  successively  for  over  ninety 
years.  A  tablet  to  his  memory  m  St.  Paul's  Church,  Halifax,  bears  the 
.  following  inscription :  ^^  Sacred  to  the  Memory  of  the  Honourable  Henry 
Newton,  the  first  Collector  of  £Us  Majesty's  Customs  in  Nova  Scotia,  at 
Halifax,  which  appointment  he  held  for  fifty  years  with  signal  honour 
to  himself  and  advantage  to  the  public.  His  father,  Hibbert  Newton,  Esq., 
fiUed  the  same  office  at  Annapolis  forty  years.  He  was  a  member  of  His 
Majesty's  Council  for  the  Province  forty-two  years,  and  invested  with  other 
offices  of  distinction  and  trust;  greatly  beloved  and. respected  for  his  many 
virtues,  but  chiefly  for  his  exemplary  Christian  character  and  conduct,  con- 
sistently sustained  through  a  long  life  in  an  age  of  great  laxity  and  religious 
indifference.  He  died  universally  lamented  on  the  29^  of  January,  1802, 
aged  70  years.  This  monument  is  erected  by  his  son,  Edward  Augustus 
Newton,*  as  a  memorial  of  his  father's  exalted  worth,  and  in  fervent  grati- 
tude for  his  pious  teaching  and  example.  *  The  righteous  shall  be  had  in 
everlasting  remembrance. 

Hon.  Henry  Newton  married,  in  Halifax,  Ann  Stuart,  sister  of  the  artist 
Gilbert  Stuart,  who  with  her  parents  had  removed  to  Newport,  N.  S.,  from 
Rhode  Island  a  few  years  before  the  Revolution.  The  year  after  her  hus- 
band's death  Mrs.  Newton  came  to  Massachusetts  and  opened  a  school  for 
young  ladies  in  Medford ;  later  she  had  a  similar  school  in  Boston. 

In  several  encyclopsedias  are  to  be  found  brief  sketches  of  Gilbert  Stuart 
Newton,  a  painter  of  much  note,  who  is  usually  but  incorrectly  called  a  son 
of  Edward  Newton  of  Halifax  and  his  wife  Ann  Stuart.  He  was,  how- 
ever, a  son  of  Hon.  Henry  and  Ann  (Stuart)  Newton.  Like  his  more  dis- 
tinguished unde,  Gilbert  Stuart,  he  went  early  to  England,  where  he  be- 
came an  associate  of  the  Royal  Academy  and  a  few  years  later  an  Acade- 
mician. In  1831-2  he  painted  in  America.  He  died  at  Wimbledon,  Eng- 
land, 5  Aug.  1835.  He  married  in  Boston,  22  Aug.  1832,  Sally  Williams 
Sullivan,  who  was  married  again  in  Boston,  where  she  was  residing,  25 
June  1840,  to  William  F.  Oakey  of  New  York.    (King's  Chapel  registers.)

PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  NEW  ENGLAND  HISTORIC 
GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY 

By  John  Alb&bb,  Becording  Secretorj 

Boston^  MassachuseUa,  7  May  1913.  A  stated  meeting  of  the  Society  was 
held  in  Wilder  Hall,  9  Ashborton  Place,  at  2.80  p.m.,  President  Baxter  presiding. 

The  minutes  of  the  April  meeting  were  approved,  and  the  reports  of  the  Libra- 
rian, Corresponding  Secretary,  ana  Council  were  accepted. 

One  corresponding  member  and  fifty-three  resident  members  were  elected  by 
ballot. 

The  rules  were  suspended,  and  on  motion  of  John  Carroll  Chase,  Vice-Presi- 
dent for  New  Hampshire,  it  was  voted  that  in  recognition  of  the  efficient  ser- 
vices of  Miss  Mary  Ella  Stickney  during  her  term  of  office  as  Assistant  Librarian, 
soon  to  be  terminated,  she  be  made  a  life  member. 

The  paper  of  the  afternoon  was  by  William  Lyman  Underwood,  and  was  en- 
titled A  Trip  on  a  Oreat-Lake  Freighter,  An  account  of  a  voyage  from  Cleve- 
land to  Duluth  and  return  was  given,  and  by  means  of  slides,  which  the  speid^er 
himself  had  made  and  colored,  there  were  shown  the  life  on  a  large  freighter, 
the  extensive  development  of  the  freight-carrying  business,  and  the  meth^  of 
handling  the  cargoes,  together  with  the  scenery  on  the  Lakes. 

1  October.  A  stated  meeting  of  the  Society  was  held  in  Wilder  Hall,  9  Ash- 
burton  Place,  at  2.30  p.m..  President  Baxter  presiding. 

The  minutes  of  the  May  meeting  were  approved,  and  the  reports  of  the  Libra-

Hon.  W.  Prentiss  Parker  of  Boxbury,  Mass.,  a  member  of  the  Society,  read  a 
paper  on  Colonial  and  Historic  Houses^  using  as  illustrations  lantern-slides  of 
photographs  which  he  had  taken,  beginning  in  1888.  Since  then  forty  per  cent, 
of  these  old  buildings  have  been  removed.  The  closing  picture  was  of  a  portion 
of  the  old  Lidian  trail  from  Boston  to  Plymouth' in  Franklin  Park,  near  Seav^ 
Street.  Thence  it  may  be  traced  to  Mattapan,  where  the  Neponset  Blver  was 
forded. 

After  adjournment  refreshments  were  served.

The  minutes  of  the  October  meeting  were  approved,  and  the  reports  of  the 
Council,  Librarian,  Corresponding  Secretary,  and  Historian  were  accepted. 

John  Carroll  Chase,  Vice-President  for  New  Hampshire,  gave  notice  that  be

The  address  of  the  afternoon  was  by  Pe-Ahm-E-Squeet,  a  member  of  the  . 
Chippewa  tribe  of  Indians.  She  was  graduated  at  the  Haskell  Institute,  a 
Government  school  In  Lawrence,  Kans.,  and  then  came  to  Boston  for  the  study 
of  music.  Appearing  in  Indian  costume,  she  told  of  the  home  life  of  the  In- 
dians, their  legends,  and  their  customs,  and  then  she  sang  a  number  of  their 
songs.  At  the  close  of  the  address  she  showed  how  the  Harvest  Ceremony  was

expressions  of  Indian  thought  and  life  in  song  and  gesture. 


NOTES 

It  having  oome  to  the  attention  of  this  Society  that  certain 
genealogists  and  publishers  hare  used  the  name  of  the  Society 
in  connection  with  their  own  enterprises,  the  Society  again  de^

sires  to  state  that  it  has  NO  genealogical  representatives  in  this 
oonntry  or  in  England,  nor  is  it  in  any  way  oonneoted  with  any 
publications  other  than  those  that  it  issues  over  its  own  name 
at  9  Ashburton  Flaoe»  Boston. 

The  Committee  on  English  Besearoh  desires  to  state,  however, 
that  although  the  Society  has  no  ofiO^oial  representative  in  England

CmcKBRiNG. — Information  aboat  the  EnglLsh  ancestry  and  environment  of 
the  Chlckering  family  of  Massachusetts  has  been  published  in  the  Bbgistbr, 
vol.  61,  p.  189,  vol.  63,  pp.  282-8,  and  vol.  64,  pp.  136-7.  From  these  pages  it 
appears  that  members  of  this  family  resided  in  the  parishes  of  Ringsfleld,  Wren- 
tham,  Westleton,  and  Henstead,  all  in  co.  Suffolk.  The  following  entries  in 
the  registers  of  Bramfleld,  co.  Soffolk  {vide  Hiirs  Registers  of  Bramfleld,  1894, 
pp.  9,  10,  and  2  Misc,  Oen.  et  Herald.^  vol.  3,  p.  238),  a  parish  less  than  ten  miles 
from  Ringsfleld,  show  that  Henry  Chlckering,  the  father  of  the  emigrants  to 
Massachusetts,  lived  at  Bramfleld  from  1588  to  1595,  perhaps  even  for  a  longer 
time.

Barlow  Rbcords. — Among  the  papers  of  Mrs.  Rachel  Ward  (Hurd)  AUerton, 
who  was  bom  at  Amenia,  N.  Y.,  2  July  1822,  was  married  there,  25  Jan.  1845,  to 
David  AUerton,  and  died  at  Bingham  ton,  N.  T.,  24  Oct.  1909,  a  small  manuscript 
book  was  found,  containing  a  partial  list  of  the  descendants  of  Peleg  Barlow  of 
Sandwich,  Mass.,  and  of  Amenia,  N.  T.  It  is  not  possible  now  to  say  positively 
by  whom  this  record  was  written';  but  from  the  paper,  penmanship,  and  general 
^[>pearaDce,  it  must  have  been  prepared  about  seventy-flve  years  ago,  and  there 
is  some  reason  for  believing  that  the  compiler  was  one  of  the  children  of  Tho- 
mas Barlow  by  his  second  wife,  Lucy  AUerton.  From  the  fact  that  in  all  cases 
where  it  has  been  compared  with  other  records  it  has  been  found  to  be  correct, 
it  should  undoubtedly  be  accepted  as  a  valuable  contribution  to  the  history  of 
thefamUy. 

The  parentage  of  Peleg  Barlow  has  not  been  deflnitely  ascertained.  He  was, 
however,  probably  a  son  of  Moses  Barlow,  of  Sandwich  and  Rochester,  Mass. 
Mrs.  AUerton,  the  former  possessor  of  this  record,  was  herself  a  descendant 
of  Peleg  Barlow,  being  a  daughter  of  Hebron  and  Eliza  (Barlow)  Hurd  {vide 
infra) .  The  record  is  given  below  as  it  was  written,  except  that  some  additional 
details,  enclosed  in  brackets,  have  been  supplied.

Nathaniel  Winslow's  Account  Book.— An  Account  Book  without  the  origi- 
■al  owner's  name  is  now  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  Qeorge  H.  Thomas  of  Marsh- 
field,  Mass.  The  entries  in  the  book  were  made  between  1717  and  1728.  On 
the  first  page  I  found  the  births  and  deaths  of  the  original  owner's  family,  with 
no  surname.  By  comparison  with  the  Marshfleld,  Mass.,  Vital  Records,  pub- 
lished in  The  diauflower  DeecendarUy  vol.  5,  p.  286, 1  was  able  to  determine  that 
the  original  owner  was  Nathaniel  Winslow,  Jr.  His  first  wife,  the  mother  of 
his  first  ten  children,  was  Lydia,  daughter  of  Josiah  and  Rebecca  (Barker) 
Snow.  Her  mother's  name  has  been  many  times  incorrectly  published  as  Baker. 
His  second  wife,  the  mother  of  the  last  three  children  given  below,  was  Deborah 
(Barstow)  Bryant,  widow  of  John  Bryant  of  Scituate.  The  Winslow  Memo- 
rial, vol.  1,  p.  97,  published  in  1877,  contains  an  abridgment  of  the  family 
record,  as  recorded  by  Nathaniel  Winslow  himself.  The  record  in  full  is  as 
follows : 

Our  first  Child  was  bom  January  19^  In  the  year  1698. 

Lydia  was  borne  January  24^ :  1694.

Derby- Jambs-Blanchard.— Jane'  James,  bom  6  Nov.  1664,  daughter  of  Fran- 
da*  and  Blizabeth  (Hyland)  James  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  married  7  Dec.  1704 
Sdward  Derby  ^'  of  Taonton."  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  2,  p.  879.)  Some  years 
ago  the  suggestion  was  oflSsred  (Rbqister,  vol.  49,  p.  840)  that  this  bridegroom 
was  the  son  of  Bdward  and  Ruth  (Whitmarsh)  Derby  of  Braintree  and  Wey- 
mouth and  was  bom  16  May  1688,  ''  on  both  town  records."  The  Weymouth 
Vital  Records  show  the  birth  of  Bdward,  son  of  Bdward  and  Ruth  Derby,  on 
18  May  1688.    Had  lie  liVed,  he  would  have  been  only  a  little  more  than  sixteen 


108  Ifbtes  [Jan. 

and  a  half  years  of  age  at  the  date  of  the  marriage ;  but  the  printed  Bralntree 
Records,,  p.  674,  show  that  a  second  Edward,  son  of  Edward  and  Buth  Derbj, 
was  bom  22  Aug.  1691. 

It  was  Edward  Derby,  Sr.,  who  married  Jane  James  for  his  second  wife. 
Doubtless  the  intention  (Weymouth  V.  K.,  vol.  2,  p.  62)  of  Edward  Derby  and 

,  4  Nov.  1704,  was  theirs.    Jane  died ;  and  he  married  thirdly,  16 

Oct.  1707,  Mrs.  Rebecca  (Sumner)  Hobart,  whose  first  husband,  Aaron  Hobart 
of  Hingham,  had  died  3  Mar.  1704/6.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  2,  p.  889 ;  Sum- 
ner Genealogy.  1879,  p.  2.) 

Children  of  Edward  Derby  by  his  first  wife,  Ruth  ( Whitmarsh)  :  1.  Edward, 
b.  18  May  1688  (Weymouth  V.  R.,  vol.  1,  p.  92) ;  d.  young.  2.  Samuel,  b.  1  or  2

(Braintree  Rec,  p.  675).  6.  Jonathan  (twin),  b.  28  May  1698  (i'&.).  Child  of 
Edward  Derby  by  his  second  wife,  Jane  (James) :  7.  Jane,  b.  probably  1705 
or  1706;  m.  Samuel  Blancher  (int.  rec.  22  July  1727  at  We3rmottth).  Children 
of  Edward  Derby  by  his  third  wife,  Rebecca  (Sumner)  (Hobart) :  8.  Rebecca, 
whose  birth  is  not  found  in  the  printed  records  of  either  town.  9.  Ruth,  b.  15 
Mar:  1711  (Weymouth  V.  R.,  vol.  1.  p.  96). 

Edward  Derby.  Sr.,  died  at  Weymouth  6  Jan.  1728/4,  leaving  a  will  dated  4 
Jan.  1723/4  and  proved  20  Jan.  of  the  same  year,  which  is  not  satisfactorily 
referred  to  in  Reoistbr,  vol.  49,  p.  340.  The  legatees  were :  wife  Rebecca,  son 
Jonathan,  son  Samuel  (who  "  went  from  me  at  Nineteen  Years  of  age  and  Mar- 
ried")* daughters  Sarah  Cobb,  Jane  Derby  (whose  legacy  was  £60  •*  and  four 
silver  spoons  her  mother  left").  Rebecca  Derby,  and  Ruth  Derby.  The  unmar- 
ried daughters  were  to  receive  their  portions  at  twenty-one  or  marriage.  (Suf- 
folk Probate  Records,  vol.  23,  p.  101.) 

Francis*  James  of  Hingham  did  mention  his  sister  Jane  Derby  in  his  wlU^ 
dated  28  Dec.  1717  and  proved  10  Jan.  1717/18,  as  stated  in  Register,  vol.  49,  p. 
840 ;  but  so  imperfect  a  statement  of  that  fact  is  misleading,  as  the  will  reads : 
"Jane  Darby  the  Daughter  of  my  sister  Jane  Darby  dec<*."  The  other  legatees 
were :  brother  Thomas  James,  Samuel  James,  sister  Sarah  Sale,  and  brother-in- 
law  John  Sale,  the  last  two  receiving  life  tenure  in  certain  real  estate.  (Suffolk 
Probate  Records,  vol.  20,  p.  180.)  On  21  Sept.  1738  Samuel  Blancher  of  Wey- 
mouth and  Jane  his  wife,  together  with  Samuel  James  and  several  of  the  heirs 
of  Thomas'  James,  all  of  Hingham.  sold  to  Samuel  Slader  of  Hingham  reaal  estate 
described  as  ^^  part  of  the  estate  that  Francis  James,  John  Sale,  and  Sarah  Sale

Jenkins-Jones. — The  following  record  is  preserved  on  a  loose  sheet  of  paper 
which  was  found  in  an  old  Bible  concordance  now  in  the  possession  of  a  lady 
residing  in  BratUeboro,  Vt.  The  book  was  rescued  from  a  rubbish  heap,  on 
which  it  had  been  tossed  by  people  who  occupied  the  house  in  which  the  family 
of  its  present  possessor  once  lived.  The  letters  M.P.,  which  appear  In  large 
capitals  at  the  bottom  of  the  sheet,  are  perhaps  the  initials  of  Miles  Pblllipa, 
whose  name,  with  the  date  1776,  is  written*  in  ink  on  the  margin  at  the  top  of 
one  of  the  pages  of  the  concordance.  The  sheet  on  which  the  record  is  written 
now  measures  about  10^  by  Sh  inches,  but  its  size  has  been  reduced  by  wear 
and  tear.  Perforations  in  the  left-hand  margin  Indicate  that  the  sheet  was  at 
one  time  fastened  into  a  book.

Standish.— The  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  has  received 
from  England  copies  of  twenty-flve  deeds,  hitherto  unpablished,  relating  to  the 
lands  in  various  Lancashire  parishes  and  In  the  Isle  of  Man  which,  according 
to  the  statement  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish  in  his  will,  had  been  ''  surruptously 
detained  **  from  him.  Some  of  these  deeds  are  in  Latin,  others  in  English,  the 
earliest  one  dating  from  1481.  They  reveal  a  branch  of  the  Standish  family 
which  settled  in  the  Isle  of  Man  and  indicate  one  of  its  members  as  in  all  prob- 
ability either  the  father  or  the  grandfather  of  Capt.  Myles  of  Plymouth.  These 
deeds,  with  an  article  by  their  discoverer,  will  be  printed  in  the  Bkoistbr  for 
AprU  or  July  1914.

"  I  would  ask  that  you  give  some  of  these  [catalogues]  to  people  likely  to 
support  the  series  by  becoming  subscribers  to  at  least  one  county  series.  At 
present  the  support  of  the  series  from  your  side  of  the  Atlantic  is  almost  negli- 
gible. Genealogists  in  America  seem  content  to  use  the  public  libraries  there 
and  do  not  realize  that,  if  a  few  more  of  them  would  subscribe  to  the  coun- 
ty they  are  specially  interested  in,  that  increased  support  would  enable  that 
county  to  be  printed  at  double  the  pace  and  completed  within  a  few  years, 
whereas  with  the  almost  complete  absence  of  the  private  subscriber  several 
counties  have  for  long  been  entirely  at  a  standstill  and  is  is  at  times  doubtful  if 
the  series  as  a  whole  can  be  continued. 

'^  The  same  neglect  is  strangling  the  good  work  of  the  British  Record  So- 
ciety." 

OKNEALOOIE8  IN  PREPARATION. — Pcrsons  of  the  scvcral  names  are  advised  to 
famish  the  compilers  of  these  genealogies  with  records  of  their  own  families 
and  other  information  which  they  think  may  be  useful.  We  would  suggest  that 
all  facts  of  interest  illustrating  family  history  or  character  be  communicated, 
especially  service  under  the  U.  S.  Government,  the  holding  of  other  offices,  grad- 
uation from  college  or  professional  schools,  occupation,  with  places  and  dates 
of  birth,  marriage,  residence,  and  death.  All  names  should  be  given  in  full  if 
possible.    No  initials  should  be  used  when  the  full  name  is  known.

WILLIAM  THEOPHILUS  ROGERS  MARVIN,  AM.,  L.H.D. 

By  Mrs.  Eucabbth  Euot  BiAsmr  Wood  of  New  York  CHy 

William  Theophilus  Rogebs  Mabvin,  a  resident  member  of 
the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  from  1900  and  a 
member  of  its  Council  for  the  years  1902-1904,  died  at  his  home  at 
70  Perry  Street,  Brookline,  Mass.,  after  a  long  and  painful  illness, 
24  February  1913,  at  the  age  of  eighty-one  years.  He  was  bom  in 
Boston,  Mass.,  30  December  1832,  the  son  of  Theophilus  Rogers  and 
Julia  Ann  Coleman  (Coggeshall)  Marvin. 

His  paternal  line  in  New  £2ngland  was  derived  from  Reinold 
Marvin,  one  of  the  early  settlers  of  Connecticut,  who  was  bom  in 
the  later  years  of  the  sixteenth  century  at  Great  Bentley,  co.  Essex, 
England,  a  son  of  £kiward  Marvin  of  that  parish.  This  Reinold,^ 
who  lived  at  Hartford,  Farmington,  Saybrook,  and  Lyme,  Conn., 
died  at  the  last-mentioned  place  in  1662.  His  son,  Reinold,'  was  of 
L3rme,  Conn.,  was  lieutenant  and  representative,  married  Sarah, 
daughter  of  George  Clark,  and  died  m  1676.  Capt.  Reinold*  of 
Lyme,  who  was  bom  in  1669  and  died  in  1737,  was  by  his  second 
wife,  Martha,  daughter  of  Thomas  Waterman  of  Norwich,  Conn., 
the  father  of  Capt.  Elisha*  of  Lyme,  who  was  bom  8  March  1717/18, 
married,  17  May  1739,  Catharine  Mather,  and  died  31  December 
1801.  Their  son.  Gen.  Elihu'  of  Norwich,  who  was  bom  in  Decem- 
ber 1752,  married,  25  December  1780,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  The- 
ophilus Rogers,  Jr.,  and  died  13  September  1798.  His  youngest 
child  and  only  son  was  Theophilus  Rogers,*  who  was  bom  at  Nor- 
wich 23  February  1796,  married,  3  April  1832,  Julia  Ann  Coleman 
Coggeshall  of  New  Bedford,  Mass.,  a  descendant  of  President  John 
Coggeshall  of  the  Colony  of  Rhode  Island,  and  died  at  Brookline, 
Mass.,  9  May  1882,  his  wife,  who  was  bom  3  April  1811,  dymg  30 
January  1882,  only  a  little  more  than  three  months  before  her  hus- 
band. Theophilus  Rogers  Marvin  was  the  founder,  in  1823,  of  what 
is  now  the  oldest  printing  house  in  the  city  of  Boston,  a  public- 
Bpirited  man,  and  at  one  time  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Gen- 
^  Court.  In  1859  T^^lliams  College  conferred  on  him  the  honorary 
degree  of  Master  of  Arts. 
William  Theophilus  Rogers^  Marvin  was  educated  in  the  public 

fichools  of  Boston,  his  native  city,  attending  the  Adams  School  and 
YOL.  Lxvni.         8 


116  William  TheophiltM  Rogers  Marvin  [April 

the  Boston  Latin  School,  where  he  was  graduated  in  1850,  winning 
the  much  prized  Franklin  Medal.  He  was  prepared  for  Yale  College; 
but  a  visit  to  Williamstown  at  CJommencement  time  brought  Irai 
under  the  influence  of  that  ''grand  old  man/'  Mark  Hopkins,  and  he 
decided  to  enter  Williams  instead.  While  in  college  he  became  a 
member  of  the  Sigma  Phi  fraternity,  which  he  always  loved  and  of 
which  he  was  a  devoted  son,  being  ever  ready  to  do  anything  in  his 
power  for  any  of  its  members.  By  the  younger  men  of  the  frater- 
nity he  was  looked  upon  as  an  example  of  what  a  loyal  member 
might  be.  He  was  graduated  in  the  Class  of  1854,  and  received 
from  his  alma  mater  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  in  1857.  Seven 
years  later,  in  1864,  he  obtained  a  charter  for  the  Williams  chapter 
of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  being  himself  one  of  the  charter  members. 
In  1909  the  College  conferred  on  him,  for  his  literary  attainments 
and  "his  absolute  loyalty  to  the  college,"  the  degree  of  Doctor  of 
the  Hmnanities.  From  1859  to  1912  he  was  absent  from  only  two 
Commencements,  a  unique  record.  In  all  these  years  he  made  a 
practice  of  preserving  printed  matter  pertaining  to  the  affairs  of  • 
the  College,  and  a  short  time  before  his  death  he  sent  to  the  College 
Library  this  collection  of  "Collegeana,"  in  twelve  bound  volumes. 

Immediately  after  his  graduation  at  Williams  he  entered  the 
printing  oflice  of  his  father,  and  in  1856  he  was  given  an  interest  in 
the  business,  the  name  of  the  firm  being  changed  to  T.  R.  Marvin  & 
Son.  For  fifty-seven  years  Dr.  Marvin  was  a  printer,  at  first  with 
his  father,  then  alone,  and  later  with  Mr.  Frederick  C.  Fairbanks 
as  his  partner.  He  took  much  pride  in  the  books  that  he  printed, 
and  endeavored  to  make  each  one  as  nearly  perfect  as  possible. 
When  other  printers  were  troubled  with  strikes,  he  laid  the  points 
at  issue  before  his  men,  and  averted  any  complications.  The  firm 
was  originally  established  at  32  old  Congress  Street,  but  in  later 
years  was  moved  to  24,  then  to  42,  and  in  1870  to  131  Congress 
Street,  where  the  business  was  carried  on  in  a  large  and  well-equipped 
office  until  the  plant  was  completely  destroyed  in  the  great  Boston 
fire  of  1872.  Then,  after  occupying  temporary  quarters  on  Corn- 
hill,  the  firm  was  rehoused  at  49  FedersJ  Street,  and  was  moved 
still  later  to  73  Federal  Street,  where  it  remained  until  after  Dr. 
Marvin's  death.  The  motto  of  the  house.  Sine  Lahore  Nihil,  has 
well  expressed  its  dominant  spirit. 

At  one  time  in  his  early  manhood  Dr.  Marvin  was  much  interested 
in  military  affairs,  and  was  a  member  of  the  New  England  Guards. 
Later  he  was  a  sergeant  in  the  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery 
Company.  He  joined  also  the  Massachusetts  Volunteer  Militia, 
and  was  appointed  quartermaster-sergeant  on  the  stafif  of  Col.  Bur- 
bank,  who  was  then  in  conunand  of  the  First  Regiment.  In  later 
years  he  took  much  pleasure  in  telling  "how  we  used  to  do  things  in 
those  days." 

In  1857  Mr.  Marvin  became  a  Mason,  joining  Columbian  Lodge 
of  Boston.  After  reaching  the  grade  of  Master  Mason  he  served 
his  lodge  in  various  offices,  and  was  master  in  1871-72.  In  1883  he 
was  elected  secretary  of  Columbian  Lodge,  and  continued  to  serve 
in  that  capacity  until  his  death.    In  1885-86  he  was  also  senior 


1914]  WiUiam  Theophilus  Rogers  Marvin  117 

grand  warden  in  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Massachusetts.  He  edited 
and  published  various  works  on  Masonic  history  and  antiquities, 
among  them  a  report  on  "The  Arms  of  the  Freemasons,"  published 
in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Massachusetts  for  1880, 
his  thorough  knowledge  of  heraldry  making  him  especially  well- 
qualified  for  this  task. 

Dr.  Marvin's  interest  in  antiquarian  matters  was  pronoimced. 
In  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  in  addition  to 
his  term  of  three  years  (1902-1904)  as  a  member  of  the  Coimcil,  he 
was  in  1902  a  member  of  the  Committee  on  the  Cabinet,  in  1903 
and  1904  a  member  of  the  Committee  on  Epitaphs,  in  1904  a  member 
of  the  Committee  on  Collection  of  Records,  and  in  1903,  1904,  and 
1905  a  member  of  the  Committee  on  Papers  and  Essays.  He  was 
a  director  in  the  Bunker  Hill  Monument  Association,  and  was  a 
life  member  of  the  Bostonian  Society,  serving  for  Some  time  on  the 
Council  of  the  latter  society  and  printing  for  many  years  its  Pvbli" 
cations.  Knowing  his  keen  interest  in  genealogical  research,  many 
of  his  friends  would  smile  over  his  father's  statement  that  he  feared 
William  had  no  head  for  genealogy.  He  was,  in  fact,  an  accurate 
genealogist,  and  a  careful,  critical  printer  of  many  genealogical 
works.  He  compiled  the  Marvin  genealogy  and  pedigrees  which 
appeared  in  Salisbury's  "Family-Histories  and  Genealogies,"  he 
wrote  "The  English  Ancestry  of  Reinold  and  Matthew  Marvin  of 
Hartford,  Ct.,  1638,"  which  was  published  in  1900,  and,  in  conjunc- 
tion with  Mr.  George  Franklin  Marvin  of  New  York,  wrote  the 
"Descendants  of  Reinold  and  Matthew  Marvin,"  which  appeared 
in  1904.  He  also  edited  and  printed  "The  Greene  Family  in  Eng- 
land and  America  with  Pedigrees,"  1901. 

Numismatics  claimed  a  large  share  of  Dr.  Marvin's  attention, 
and  among  numismatiste  he  was  well-known  as  the  author  of  "The 
Medals  of  the  Masonic  Fraternity,"  1880,  a  subject  on  which  he 
continued  to  collect  data  until  his  death,  and  of  other  papers  on  this 
branch  of  knowledge.  Although  appearing  merely  as  one  of  the 
editors  of  Betts's  "American  Colonial  History  Illustrated  by  Con- 
temporary Medals,"  he  was  in  reality  responsible  for  much  of  the 
information  contained  in  this  work.  For  nearly  forty  years  he 
edited  and  published  the  American  Journal  of  Numismatics.  He 
was  an  active  member  of  the  Boston  Numismatic  Society,  an  honor- 
ary member  of  the  American  Numismatic  and  Archaeological  Society 
of  New  York  and  of  the  American  Numismatic  Association,  a  corre- 
sponding member  of  the  Numismatic  and  Antiquarian  Society  of 
Philadelphia,  and,  in  recognition  of  his  attainments  in  this  field  of 
antiquarian  research,  he  was  made  a  foreign  associate  of  the  Royal 
Numismatic  Society  of  Belgium. 

From  1872  on  Dr.  Marvin  resided  in  Brookline,  and  for  twenty- 
two  years  (1875-1897)  he  was  a  member  of  the  School  Committee 
of  that  town,  watching  closely  the  development  of  the  curriculum  of 
the  high  school  and  insisting  that  thoroughness  is  the  foundation 
of  knowledge.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Brookline  Thursday 
Club,  being  its  president  for  two  years. 

Those  who  believe  that  a  person  beyond  seventy  is  tmable  to 


118  WtUiam  Theophilus  Rogers  Marvin  [April 

take  up  a  new  line  of  original  research  must  make  an  exception  in 
the  case  of  Dr.  Marvin.  During  the  last  years  of  his  life  he  became 
much  interested  in  a  document  in  the  possession  of  the  Bostonian 
Society,  and  known  in  English  legal  phraseology  as  a  ''fine."  It 
was  written  in  the  legal  Latin  of  the  reign  of  James  II,  abounded  in 
legal  abbreviations  and  other  shortened  forms,  and  had  never  been 
translated.  He  had  seen  the  document  years  before,  and  had  puz- 
zled out  a  few  words,  but  had  given  the  translation  up  as  too  great  a 
task  for  a  busy  man.  In  the  last  year  of  his  life  he  attacl^d  the 
problem  again,  and  with  infinite  patience  constructed  an  dphabet 
and  worked  out  all  but  a  few  words.  The  translation  was  published 
in  the  Bostonian  Society  PublicationSy  vol.  10. 

For  more  than  fifty  years  Dr.  Marvin  was  a  member  of  the  Prot- 
estant Episcopal  Church.  He  became  closely  identified  with  the 
Church  of  the  Messiah  in  Boston,  serving  as  vestryman  and  later  as 
junior  warden,  ai^d  being  often  chosen  as  a  delegate  to  the  diocesan 
convention.  In  the  leaflet  of  that  Church  for  2  March  1913,  the 
rector.  Rev.  John  McGaw  Foster,  wrote: 

<'The  memory  of  Mr.  Marvin's  life  is  that  of  a  Christian  gentleman  of 
the  old  school.  With  a  mind  remarkably  keen  to  keep  abreast  of  the  topics 
which  concern  modem  thought,  his  faith  was  the  simple  faith  of  his  fathers 
—  the  Faith  once  for  all  delivered  to  the  saints.  .  .  . 

"None  could  know  Mr.  Marvin  well  without  being  impressed  by  the 
ripeness  of  his  scholarship  and  the  vigorous  cultivation  of  his  mental 
powers.  .  .  ." 

Dr.  Marvin  married  first,  17  April  1861,  Anne  Maria  Howe,  who 
was  bom  at  Milford,  N.  H.,  27  June  1837,  daughter  of  George  and 
Judith  Ray  (Sawyer)  Howe  of  Boston.  She  died  suddenly  in  Boston 
9  July  1870,  leaving  three  children:  Florence,  who  now  resides  at 
Cambridge,  Mass.,  the  widow  of  George  Hoffman  Embree;  Julia 
Rogers,  who  was  married  to  Lieut.  Charles  Brooks  Clark  and  is  now 
deceased;  and  Theophilus  Rogers,  now  deceased.  He  married  sec- 
ondly, at  Brookline,  30  December  1874,  his  cousin,  Mary  Ritchie, 
who  was  bom  at  New  Bedford,  Mass.,  12  June  1845,  daughter  of 
Edward  Samuel  and  Abby  Russell  (Pope)  Ritchie  of  Brookline. 
By  his  second  wife,  who  survived  him,  Dr.  Marvin  had  three  chil- 
<lren:  Elizabeth  Eliot,  now  the  wife  of  Howland  Wood  of  New  York 
City;  John  Reginold,  who  married  Grace  W.  Field  and  resides  at 
Evanston,  111.;  and  George  Ritchie,  who  married  Florence  Ruth 
Dennis,  resides  in  Boston,  and  is  a  member  of  the  printing  firm  of 
which  his  father  was  for  so  many  years  the  head.  In  his  family  life 
Dr.  Marvin  was  a  most  loving  father,  always  interested  in  whatever 
concerned  his  children,  especially  in  their  literary  work,  and  ever 
ready  with  advice  or  friendly  criticism.

*  The  following  notioe  of  Mr.  Savage  appeared  in  the  BoeUm  Bvening  Traneoripl, 
a  few  dasrs  after  his  death. 

'*The  death  on  Monday  of  Mr.  Samuel  Hay  Savage  of  Beacon  Street  removed 
another  of  our  genuine  Boston  type  from  a  large  family  and  social  circle. 

'*  Mr.  Savage  was  a  man  of  much  culture  from  a  large  reading  of  books  and  ioter- 
oonree  with  men  of  thought  and  action.  Full  of  heart,  life,  oympathy,  always  ready 
to  speak  a  kind  word  and  perform  a  kind  act,  he  will  be  tenderly  remembered  by  a 
large  circle  of  friends.  It  was  well  said  of  him  that  he  never  did  a  thing  that  a  true 
gentleman  should  not  do.  He  was  a  Unitarian  in  his  faith,  and  believed  that  the  love 
of  Qod  would  prepare  for  him  and  for  all  who  tried  to  do  their  duty  a  home  of  peace 
and  happiness  beyond. 

"Bom  in  Barnstable,  Mr.  Savage  delighted  to  return  to  the  scenes  of  his  childhood, 
and  he  had  but  just  purchased  a  summer  home  there,  and  was  engaged  in  preparini^  it 
for  occupation  another  year,  when  death  so  suddenly  but  peacefully  called  nia  wgm% 
from  earth  to  the  Father's  house  of  many  manstona. .

Brussels,  Belgium,  was  passed  in  and  about  Boston,  where  he  was 
graduated  from  tne  Latin  School  in  1877.  Upon  reaching  man- 
hood he  engaged  in  the  coffee  business,  much  of  nis  time  being  spent 
in  Mexico  and  South  America.  In  1898,  while  on  a  visit  to  South 
Carolina,  he  became  interested  in  the  cultivation  of  cotton  and 
other  southern  crops,  invested  money  in  several  plantations  near 
Camden  in  that  state,  and  has  since  then  been  identified  with  that

1858  Rev.  George  Beebe.  Town  Clerk.  [These  words  apparently 
mean  that  the  entries  from  this  point  to  page  190  were  made  by 
Rev.  George  Beebe,  in  part  as  a  sort  of  journal.] 

At  a  regular  town  meeting  held  March  9^  [1858]  the  following 
persons  were  chosen  Town  Officers  — 

W°»  H.  Caswell    >  John  W.  Rendall  Colector 

Ira  G.  Rendall  &  >  Selectmen  George  Beebe  Clerk 

Joseph  Caswell     ) 

Voted  to  raise,  by  tax,  $90.00  to  defray  School  and  other  expenses 
of  the  town.    Adjourned.    Geo  Beebe  Clerk 
Mr  James  Haley  and  M"  Huldie  M.  Downs,*  both  of  this  place  were 

duly  married  on  May  17  [?18]  1858  by  Rev.  Geo  Beebe. 

[183] 
About  2000  Visitors  during  the  Season  of  1858 
A  U.  S.  Surveying  Steamer  enlivened  our  Harbor  by  her  prolonged 
presence  and  her  soundings  were  evidently  made  with  care  and  com- 
pleteness. 

The  Wife  of  Mr  J.  W.  Rendall  died  while  away  in  Rye.    Consump- 
tion was  the  Cause 

Severd  of  our  yoimg  men  tried  to  better  their  Circumstances  by 
engaging  elsewhere  in  fishing;  but  finaly  concluded  that  they  could 
do  about  as  well  at  home  and  so  returned 

[184] 

There  was  much  needless  disturbance  in  the  place  in  consequence 
of  the  illegal  though  not  immoral  slapping  of  one  of  the  scholars  in 
our  Summer  School,  by  the  Missionary.  The  disturbance  was 
amicably  Settled. 

Miss  Sarah  E  Gunnison,  of  Kittery,  Me.,  ^as  employed  during 
three  months  as  Teacher  of  the  Summer  School  here,  at  a  Salary  of 
$8.00  per  month  and  board.  She  was,  as  usual,  liked  by  some  and 
disUkcd  by  others. 

M'  Oliver  J.  Shaw  of  Utica,  N.  Y.  presented  our  Sabbath  School 
with  a  very 

[185] 
acceptable  Library  containing  100  Vols.,  and  for  which  he  has  our 
hearty  thanks  and  many  wellwishes. 

Several  Gentlemen  visiting  the  Shoals  and  friendly  to  the  mission 
enterprise  here,  Charitably  Contributed  toward  its  sustenance.  May 
the  blessing  of  Him  who  said  "It  is  more  blessed  to  give  than  to 
receive"  attend  them. 

An  interesting  Religious  Awakening  occured  here  during  the 
Spring  and  Summer  in  which  a  Considerable  number  of  the  i^abi- 
tants  participated;  witnessing  a  good  profession  and  evincing  a 
lively-  faith.    But  Shall  its  results  be  like  the  Morning  dew? 

[186] 
Conscious  of  the  value  of  Education,  Pastoral  Care,  and  Medical 
Assistance,  the  people  now,  more  than  formerly,  Contribute  liberaly

toward  Securing  them.  But  in  consequence  of  the  Smahiess  of  their 
number  and  limited  means  they  are  still  dependent  on  the  assistence 
of  the  Society  for  Propagating  the  Gospel  and  other  friends  in  Ports- 
mouth for  the  principal  amount  required  to  sustain  these  interests 

In  Consequence  of  an  improvement  in  fishing-tackle  a  great  many 
more  fish  are  now  taken  in  Winter  than  formerly. 

[187] 

Nearly  all  the  Families  in  the  place  either  take,  or  have  access  to, 
a  weekly  Newspaper.  This  fact,  together  with  a  Considerable  Cor- 
respondence, especially  in  Summer,  makes  it  proper  to  favor  the 
place  with  a  postal  Convenience. 

The  Soil  of  the  Islands  is  gradualy  lessening:  which  fact  sujests, 
that  future  generations  will  yet  be  Compelled  to  bury  their  dead  in 
the  Sea  or  secure  burial  on  the  mainland. 

1859. 
At  a  legal  town  meeting  held  March  8***  1859,  the  following  per- 
sons were  chosen  as  town  officers  for  the  ensuing  year  —

6***  George  Beebe,  Clerk 

At  this  meeting  a  disposition  was  generaly  manifested  to  do  town 
buisness  legaly.  Especialy  was  this  the  Case  in  regard  to  taxation. 
Accordingly  a  young  man  of  considerable  buisness  energy  was  made 
Collector  and  who  has  given  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $100.00  as  an 
assurance  of  his  determination  to  fully  discharge  the  duties  of  that 
office 

As  usual  the  Democracy  prevailed  in  the  contest  for  State  and

[189] 
1859  &  1856  -  officers.  By  this  however  is  not  to  be  infered  that  the 
democrats  here  are  in  favor  of  Slavery.  No.  There  is  not  a  man 
on  the  Shoals,  of  whatever  party,  but  would  help  to  free  the  suffering 
Slave  of  the  South  and  be  glad  to  see  him  a  Selfreliant,  inteligent 
and  God-honoring  fellow  creature. 

Richard  L  Randall  and  family  has  moved  away  from  here  and  now 
resides  in  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

Retrospectively  — 1856 
The  Rev  Daniel  Austin  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  very  benevolently 
provided  us  with  a  beautiful  Medicine  Chest  well  filled;  and  also 
made  provision  for  its  annual  replenishment.  The  accompanying 
Deed  is  contained  in  a  small  drawer  in  the  side  of  the  Chest.  In  the 
hands  of  the  present  Missionary  it  will  be  very  servicable  to  us. 
May  the  good  it  shall  be  the  means  of  doing  be  accredi[ted]  to  the

Donor  in  the  Great  Account.  [Just  above  this  record  there  appears 
in  another  hand  the  following:  "This  medicine  chest  was  lost  —  & 
there  was  no  chest  here  for  about  10  years  Through  the  efforts  of 
O.  L.  Frisbee  A  A.  P.  Preston  a  new  one  was  made  &  brought  to  the 
Island  Dec  1  —  1885.'T 

[190] 

1859.  We  have  made  out  to  Sustain  a  Town  School  during  five 
months  of  the  Summer  and  Fall.  It  is  a  heavy  burden  for  so  few  to 
bear,  whose  means  are  so  limited.  A  growing  interest  in  education 
encouraged  us  to  bear  it.  Indeed  we  can  do  but  httle  more  for  our 
children  than  to  give  them  the  benefit  of  a  good  Conmion  School. 

Several  Missionaries  here  have  broken  down  under  the  labors  of 
the  Day  School  and  the  Pastorate.  In  this  very  bleak  Situation, 
especialy  in  Winter,  and  subject  to  the  irritation  to  the  Lungs  which 
the  incessant  breathing  of  Soli  air  induces,  it  is  no  wonder  that  their 
Limgs  and  vocal  organs  fail  them. 

The  Barque  Henrietta,  owened  in  Portland,  Me.,  was  driven 
ashore,  on  Hog  Island,  during  a  Snow  Storm-  No  lives  lost  -  She 
was  afterward  burned  to  get  the  iron  and  copper  out  of  the  hull.^ 

Prof.  Oliver  J  Shaw  of  Utica  N.  Y.,  presented  the  Missionary  with 
a  beautiful  Melodeon,  to  be  used  in  the  church.  Its  sweet  notes  are 
a  treat  to  many  and  an  attraction  to  others  to  attend  service 

A  Storm  seen  ai  the  Shoals  is  one  of  the  grandest  Scenes  to  be  beheld 
on  Earth. 

[191] 

1859.  At  a  considerable  expense  the  Inhabitants  of  these  Isles  have 
put  up  a  beautiful  Vane  on  our  Chapel  May  their  own  hearts  yield 
to  the  breathings  of  the  Divine  Spirit  as  that  vane  does  to  the  winds.

Gosport,  Isle  of  Shoals,  N,  H,  October  18,  1870  —  9  o'clock  evening 

To  day  there  has  been  a  very  heavy  wind  from  the  north-west. 
The  sea  has  been  all  day,  &  is  now,  very  turbulent  &  rough.  In  our 
harbor  three  schooners  belonging  to  Mr  Johnson,  of  Portsmouth,  the 
Crown,  the  Spray,  and  the  Mary  E.  Caswell,  —  were  blown  from 
their  moorings,  &  were  stranded  upon  the  rocks  at  Smutty  nose  & 
Hog  Island.  The  Crown  sunk  with  several  barrels  of  oil,  the  most 
being  afterward  saved.  The  Spray  was  laden  with  barrels  of  Her- 
ring &  is  imrepairable,  having  her  side  stove  in.  The  Mary  E.  was 
not  injured  so  much  but  that  she  can  be  repaired.  The  Crown  went 
to  pieces. 

But  a  terrible  sorrow  was  visited  upon  Mrs.  James  R  Randall  t 
Her  husband  in  the  employ  of  the  Messrs  Laightons,  at  Appledore,

went  out  a  short  distance  from  the  Appledore  there  to  see  tiiat  his 
boat  was  well  fastened,  &,  on  returning  in  his  dory,  with  a  companion, 
the  waves  filled  his  boat,  &  they  sought  to  save  thonselves.  His 
companion,  by  bis  advice,  jmnped  upon  the  rocks  &  succeeded  in 
saving  himself  from  drowning.  Mr.  Randall  followed  him;  but 
from  the  appearance  of  a  very  severe  blow  upon  the  left  temple  & 
eye,  it  is  probable  that  as  he  struck  the  water  in  his  jump,  the  surge 
threw  him  violently  against  the  ledge,  &  the  blow  stunned  him, 
depriving  him  both  of  mental  &  physical  power,  &  the  under  ciurent 
sucked  hun  out  of  sight,  &  his  affectionate  wife  &  lovely  children  are 
without  a  husband  &  father.  It  is  a  terrible  blow,  enough  to  crush 
one  down.  He  was  drowned  at  two  oclock  this  afternoon,  but  his 
body  has  not  yet  been  recovered.  The  interview  with  the  heavily 
stricken  &  sorrow-burdened  wife  &,  mother  was  deeply  affectdng. 
Oh!  our  Father  in  heaven,  4  our  Lord  A  Saviour,  let  thy  presence 
&  blessing  &  strength  be  shared  by  her,  &  be  her  comfort  &  conso- 
lation. 

Oct.  19.  1870,  —  6  oclock  evening.  The  body  of  Mr  Jambs  R. 
Randall  was  recovered  this  forenoon,  &  was  brought  over  from  the 
Appledore  Island  about  four  hours  ago,  &  is  at  the  house  of  Mr 
Jackson  Caswell.    Mr  Randall's  age  was  thirty  three- 

Oct.  21.  1870  —  The  funeral  services  in  respect  of  Mr  James  R 
Randall,  were  at  his  house  this  afternoon  at  2\  o'clock.  A  delega- 
tion from  the  Order  of  Odd  Fellows  at  Portsmouth  N.  H.  came  out 
to  the  funeral,  &  read  their  beautiful  funeral  service  at  the  grave 
The  house  was  filled  with  weeping  relatives  and  friends.  The  Lord 
bless  the  bereaved.

[A  warrant,  issued  30  July  1855,  for  the  attachment  of  the  goods 
or  estate  of  William  Robinson  of  Gosport,  fisherman,  to  the  value  of 

*He  was  a  member  of  an  interestiiig  family  of  Norwegians,  that  oame  to  the 
Shoals  after  1860.  They  lived  in  various  places.  A  large  part  of  the  time  they  were 
in  the  little  cottage  on  the  south  side  of  Appledore  long  known  as  the  "Norwegian 
eottage."  The  rest  of  the  family  moved  away  in  the  spring  of  1885  and  took  up 
fanning  in  North  Dakota.  The  name,  the  correct  spelling  of  which  is  Ingebretsen,  is 
variously  reproduced  as  Ingebertsen  and  Ingebritssen.  In  any  form  it  was  too  much 
for  the  ohoalers  for  daily  use.  They  are  said  to  have  compromised  on  "Carpenter*', 
as  a  manageable  name  for  the  family. 

The  Shoalers  were  much  given  to  nicknames,  not  always  veiy  flattering,  and  tba 
use  of  abbreviated  names  was  very  common  on  account  of  the  few  family  names  on 
the  islands.  Thus  John  Handy  Robinson  was  commonly  called  John  Handy;  John 
Cook  Randall  was  John  Cook,  but  sometimes  Cook  Randall;  John  Bragg  Downs  was 
almost  always  John  Bragg.  Even  now  "John  Bragg's  house"  on  Star  Island  is  a 
mark  for  fishermen  in  getting  the  bearings  of  various  nahing  grounds  near  the  Shoals.

[31  July  1855.  The  incomplete  return  of  George  W.  Toule,  Dep- 
uty Sheriff,  stating  that  he  has  attached  property  of  Robinson  in 
the  town  of  Gosport,  viz.,  land  and  the  buildings  thereon  "bounded 
Northerly  by  land  of  John  C  Randall  &  William  Downes,  Southerly

[On  these  pages  is  recorded  a  series  of  petitions  and  notices  con- 
cerning a  town-meeting  to  be  held  in  the  schoolhouse  on  11  Aug.  1863 
at  10  A.M.,  because  "the  annual  meeting  of  the  inhabitants  of  said 
town,  required  by  law  to  be  held  in  March  anually  has  not  been  held 
according  to  law  and  ...  it  is  necessary  that  such  meeting  should 
be  held  and  town  officers  duly  chosen  and  that  other  business  of  said 
town  should  be  transacted  by  said  town  legally."  This  probably 
means  that  a  meeting  had  been  held  in  March,  but  under  conditions 
which  cast  a  doubt  on  its  legality.  However  that  may  be,  certain 
legJ  voters  of  Gosport,  namely,  Nathaniel  F.  Berry,  William  H. 
Caswell,  Elvin  Newton,  S.  H.  Robinson,  Josiah  Randall,  Daniel  Clark, 
Asa  Caswell,  Joseph  Randall,  John  Caswell,  0.  S.  Caswell,  Harrison 
Berry,  Alfred  P.  Caswell,  and  John  O.  Downs,  petition  the  selectmen 
to  call  such  a  meeting.  Origen  S.  Caswell,  Town  Clerk,  records  the 
petition,  without  date,  and  also  a  similar  petition  to  Nathaniel  F. 
Berry,  Esq.,  Justice  of  the  Peace.  This  second  petition  is  signed  by 
the  same  persons  who  signed  the  first  petition,  except  that  Berry's 
name  is  omitted  and  that  the  name  of  William  Robinson  is  added. 
On  24  July  1863  Elvin  Newton,  Ephraim  H.  Downs,  and  William 
Robinson,  Selectmen  of  Gosport,  issue  a  warrant  for  the  meeting  on 
11  Aug.,  and  also  certify,  11  Aug.  1863,  that  they  have  given  notice 
of  the  meeting  to  the  inhabitants  by  posting,  24  July  1863,  a  copy  of 

^I.e.,  Henry  Becker,

also,  Nathaniel  F.  Berry,  Justice  of  the  Peace,  directs  Elvin  Newton, . 
one  of  the  legal  voters  of  the  town  and  one  of  the  petitioners,  to  notify 
the  voters  of  the  town  to  meet  as  specified  above.    Elvin  Newton 
makes  return,  11  Aug.  1863,  that  he  has  carried  out  his  instructions 
by  posting,  24  July  1863,  a  copy  of  this  warrant  at  the  place  of  meet- 
ing and  likewise  at  the  fish  store  of  John  Caswell.    Origen  S.  Caswell, 
Town  Clerk,  attests  the  entry  of  each  of  these  documents  in  the  town 
records.    There  is  no  record  showing  that  the  meeting  was  actually 
held,  but  the  articles  upon  which  it  was  to  act  are  given  in  the  town 
records  as  follows: 
"First  To  choose  a  moderator  to  preside  in  said  meeting 
"  Second  To  choose  all  necessary  town  officers  for  the  year  ensueing 
"Third  To  raise  such  sums  of  money  as  may  be  necessary  to

[On  this  page  there  is  a  memorandum  in  pencil  concerning  Wm.  S. 
Kendall,  which  probably  stands  in  some  relation  to  the  tax  list  on 
p.  449  of  the  original  records,  where  his  name  does  not  appear.  The 
memorandum  is  as  follows:

[On  this  page  is  an  extended  plan  of  a  tax  list,  bearing  no  date. 
Spaces  are  prepared  for  Polls,  Homestead,  Buildings,  Money  on  hand 
or  at  interest,  Stock  in  trade,  Cows  and  their  Value,  Sheep  and  their 
Value,  Dogs,  Salt,  Total  Value,  and  Reduced  Value;  but  only  a  few 
entries  are  made,  and  these  are  confused  by  many  figures  and  calcu- 
lations written  in  at  random  and  having  no  obvious  relation  to  the 
list.  So  far  as  the  list  can  be  interpreted,  the  following  statement 
seems  correct: 


He  18  also  charged  with  $70  in 
money,  $20  in  stock  in  trade, 
1  cow  worth  $35,  and  1  dog, 
a  total  of  $1475. 

Total,  $250. 

2  cows  worth  $55,  1  dog,  salt 
worth  $60,  and  stock  worth 
$40  [eraaeii,  a  total  of  $1305. 

*  Another  estimate  of  her  age  was  105,  but  in  reality  she  was  only  about  83.  The 
possibility  of  her  being  100  years  old  in  1856  is  destroyed  by  the  consideration  that 
this  would  make  her  about  61  in  1817,  when  her  daughter  Sally  was  born.  A  list  of 
1826  gives  her  age  then  as  52,  which  is  evidently  nearly  correct. 

This  entry  forms  an  interesting  link  between  the  final  pages  of  the  Goeport  Records 
and  the  first.  This  Abigail  Downs  appears  to  be  the  granddaughter  of  that  Peter 
Robinson  and  Agnes  Down  who  were  married  by  the  Rev.  John  Tucke  in  May  1733, 
during  the  very  first  year  following  his  ordination  at  Gkwport.  With  another  Agnes, 
ber  twin  sister,  and  as  the  daughter  of  John  Robinson  and  Elisabeth  Downe,  she 
Glared  the  baptism  of  15  Aug.  1773,  three  dajrs  after  Mr.  Tucke  is  said  to  have  died 
(RaoMTBR,  vol.  67,  p.  230,  note),  which  was  doubtless  the  last  ceremonial  act  of  his 
long  ministry  on  the  Shoals.  One  of  the  first  acts  of  the  Rev.  Jedediah  Morse,  during 
his  visit  in  Aug.  1800,  was  to  condone  her  irregular  relations  to  Richard  Randall  by  a 
marriage  ceremony  as  set  forth  on  p.  86  of  the  original  records.  A  couple  of  jrears  later 
she  became  a  widow,  and  then  married  Benjamin  Downs.  The  descendants  of  these 
two  marriages  were  nimierous  and  took  an  active  part  in  the  life  of  the  Shoals.  She 
and  her  second  husband  are  the  **Nabbaye"  and  **Bennaye"  of  Celia  Thaxter*8 
•ketches,  in  which  she  is  praised  as  an  industrious  woman  and  a  good  housekeeper 
when  well  along  in  jrears  and  lacking  in  physical  attractions.  Mrs.  Thaxter  was  mis- 
taken, however,  in  saying  that  she  also  cared  for  **01d  Peter,"  another  ancient  Shoaler 
whose  age  was  much  extended  by  local  tradition.  It  is  established  on  good  authority 
and  confirmed  by  several  witnesses  that  during  his  last  years  Peter  Robinson  lived 
with  Asa  Caswell,  or  in  an  ell  of  Caswell's  house. 

tThis  i>robably  means  land  near  the  meeting-house.

CAPT.  EDWARD  JOHNSON  OF  WOBURN,  MASS. 

By  Altrbd  Johmbon,  Litt.D.t  of  Boston,  Mass. 

1.  Capt.  Edward*  Johnson f  (TFiHiam,  John,  WiUiam),  joiner, 
baptized  at  Canterbury,  co.  Kent,  England,  16  Sept.  1598,  emigrated 
to  New  England  in  1637,  and  died  at  Wobum,  Mass.,  23  Apr.  1672. 
He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  town  of  Wobum,  where,  as  well  as 
in  the  Colony  at  large,  he  held  many  important  public  offices.  He  is 
famous  as  the  author  of  the  "Wonderworking  Providence  of  Sion's 
Savior  in  New  England."  He  married,  about  1620,  Susan  Munnter, 
who  was  bom  about  1597  and  died  at  Wobum  7  Mar.  1689/90.

2.  John*  Johnson  (Capt.  Edward^),  baptized  at  Canterbury,  Eng- 
land, 10  May  1635,  died  at  Canterbury,  Conn.,  about  1720. 
He  married,  28  Apr.  1657,  Bethia  Reed,  who  died  at  Canter- 
bury, Conn.,  2  Dec.  1717,  probably  daughter  of  Esdras  of 
Salem,  Wenham,  Chelmsford,  Wobum,  and  Boston,  Mass. 
He  was  by  occupation  a  housewright  or  carpenter,  and  owned 
a  sawmill  in  Wobum.  In  1712  he  and  his  wife  Betbia  were 
taken  to  the  home  of  their  son  Obadiah  in  Canterbury,  Conn., 
where  they  passed  the  remainder  of  their  days.

Thomas  of  Canterbury.  He  removed  when  a  young  man  to

146  The  English  Shermans  [April 

MORE  FACTS  ABOUT  THE  ENGLISH  SHERMANS* 

By  Thomas  Townsbnd  Shbbman,  A.B.,  LL.B.,  of  Rye,  N.Y. 

An  examination  made  for  the  writer  by  Messrs.  J.  Henry  Lea  and 
J.  R.  Hutchinson  of  many  wills,  proved  in  the  Prerogative  Court  of 
Canterbury,  of  residents  of  Yaxley,  co.  Suffolk,  and  its  vicinity,  has 
revealed  the  record  of  the  will  of  Jane  (Waller)  (Sherman)  Gardiner, 
dated  10  Jan.,  15  Elizabeth  (1572/3),  and  proved  11  Mar.  1572/3. 
Her  first  husband  was  Thomas  Sherman  of  Yaxley,  whose  will  is 
dated  20  Jan.  1550/1  (Register,  vol.  54,  p.  153).  Her  second 
husband,  whose  Christian  name  has  not  yet  been  definitely  ascer- 
tained, may  have  been  William  Gardiner,  who  in  1568  was  living 
and  owned  land  in  Stoke  Ash  in  Hertesmere  Hundred,  near  Yaxley, 
for  he  appears  in  the  return  of  the  lay  subsidy  of  1568  as  taxed  in 
Stoke  Ash  on  £6  in  lands.  Jane  Gardiner  gives  to  the  poor  of  Stoke 
Ash  5s.,  although  none  of  the  Shermans  lived  there.  Her  wiU,  made 
twenty-two  years  after  Thomas  Sherman's  death,  is  interesting  and 
instructive,  as  it  shows  that  she  was  his  only  wife  and  the  mother  of 
his  sons,  of  whom  she  mentions  all  but  one,  William,  the  grocer, 
who  was  rich,  lived  in  London,  and  was  buried  in  Ipswich  in  1583, 
his  will  being  dated  28  May  1583  (Register,  vol.  54,  p.  158). 
She  also  mentions  the  wives  of  all  of  these  sons  except  Henry, 
William,  and  Richard,  and  some  of  her  grandchildren.  The  follow- 
ing is  a  copy  of  her  will:

London  xj^^  die  mensb  Martij  Anno  Dni  Millesimo  quingen^  Septuagesmio 
secundo  Jura^o  Anthonij  Sherman  et  Thome  Sherman.    (P.C.C.,  Peter,  9.) 

Elizabeth,  who  is  mentioned  in  this  will,  wife  of  Thomas  Sherman, 
was  his  first  wife,  and  daughter  of  Anthony  Yaxley  of  Melles,  co. 
Suffolk.  His  second  wife  was  Barbara  Wheatcroft,  daughter  of 
William  and  Alice  of  Ipswich.  Barbara  (Wheatcroft)  Sherman 
died  18  Jan.  1621/2  and  is  buried  in  Yaxley  chiu-ch.  Sybil,  wife  of 
Francis  Sherman,  was  Sybil  Grey,  daughter  of  Thomas  and  Anne 
(Plumsted)  of  Gpswold  Hall,  Thiandeston,  co.  Suffolk.  Mary,  wife 
of  Anthony  Sherman,  was  daughter  of  Sir  Anthony  Guydat,  Knight. 
After  Anthony  Sherman's  death,  which  occurred  in  1582,  she  married 
Robert  Hall,  in  1587.  Elizabeth,  wife  of  John  Sherman,  was  his 
first  wife  and  the  mother  of  his  children.  He  married  secondly^ 
Marian,  widow  of  Thomas  Whiting  of  Ipswich;  and  thirdly  Mar-* 
garet ,  who  was  his  wife  in  1586. 

The  De  Banco  Society  of  London  is  examining  and  reporting  on 
the  De  Banco  plea  rolls,  which  are  the  clerk's  minutes  of  the  dsily 
proceedings  of  the  courts  of  Conunon  Pleas  and  King's  Bench,  and 
also  on  certain  early  Chancery  proceedings,  these  rolls  and  pro- 
ceedings not  being  indexed.  From  such  reports  many  interesting 
and  important  facts  with  regard  to  the  Yaxley  Shermans  are  learned. 
In  Nov.  1528  (Michaelmas  term,  20  Heniy  VIII)  Thomas  Sherman 
of  Yaxley,  in  his  own  proper  person,  brings  suit  to  recover  from 
Isabell  Dedham,  widow,  the  third  part  of  certain  lands  in  Burgate, 
CO.  Suffolk,  as  his  right  and  heritage,  into  which  the  said  Isabell  has 
not  ingress  unless  sSter  the  demise  which  Robert  Hendry,  former 
husband  of  Agnes,  mother  of  the  aforesaid  Thomas,  whose  heir  he 
is,  made  unto  the  aforesaid  Isabell  (De  Banco  Roll  1059,  membrane 
410).  It  thus  appears  that  A^es  Fullen,  the  wife  of  John  Sherman 
of  Yaxley  who  died  in  1504  (will,  dated  10  Aug.  1504,  in  Reoisteb, 
vol.  54,  p.  152),  had  married  also  Robert  Hendry.  In  De  Banco 
Plea  Roll  797,  membrane  225,  38  Henry  VI  (Apr.-May  1460),  is  a 
minute  of  an  action  by  John  Kew  of  Diss,  co.  Norfolk,  and  John 
Pa)m  of  Roydon,  co.  Norfolk,  against  John  Sherman  of  Yaxley, 
yeoman,  and  Robert  Sherman  of  Yaxley,  yeoman,  to  recover  a  debt 
of  ten  marks.  These  two  Shermans  are  probably  John  of  Yaxley, 
an  abstract  of  whose  will,  dated  20  Aug.  1465,  appears  in  Register, 
vol.  66,  p.  322,  and  his  son  Robert,  who  is  mentioned  in  the  will. 

In  Star  Chamber  Proceedings  is  a  bill  of  complaint  of  Sir  John 
Wiseman,  Knight,  against  Thomas  Sherman  of  Yaxley,  stating  that 
on  22  Apr.,  22  Henry  VIII  (1530),  complainant  sent  two  of  his 
servants  to  distrain  for  unpaid  rent  of  an  acre  of  land  in  Gors  Close, 
CO.  Suffolk,  part  of  the  manor  of  Swattyshall  owned  by  complainant, 
which  rent  Sherman  had  refused  to  pay  for  three  years;  that  said 
servants  seized  by  way  of  distress  a  plow  with  four  horses;  and  that. 


1914]  The  English  Shermans  149 

as  they  were  driving  in  the  King's  highway,  Jobanne  Sherman  and 
Margery  Hege,  with  staves  in  their  hands,  and  certidn  other  riotous 
persons  "made  a  sawte  &  fray  upon  the  said  ij  servants  &  put  them 
in  daunger  of  their  lyvis  &  grevously  did  bete  William  Eiysshe  A 
take  away  the  said  dystress  from  them."  Afterwards,  on  24  Apr., 
23  Henry  VIII  (1531),  complainant's  servants  again  distrained  the 
plow  and  horses;  "but  as  they  came  thetherward,  mette  with  them 
by  the  way,  Johanne  Sherman,  the  wyff  of  Thomas  Sherman,  Thomas 
Dykon  and  Margery  Hedge  with  Stavys  &  stonys  in  their  lappys, 
as  well  as  other  servants  of  the  said  Thomas  Sherman,  who  with 
force  &  armis  did  fyghyt  with  them  &  them  did  bett,  wond  &  yll 
intret." 

Thomas  Sherman  was  an  attorney  at  law  with  a  large  practice  in 
the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  and  he  was  also  a  great  litigant  himself, 
as  the  court  records  show.  His  wife  Jane  seems  to  have  been  able 
to  do  her  share  of  the  fighting,  when  occasion  offered. 

The  return  of  the  lay  subsidy  of  1327  for  Ywdey  (Jakeslee)  in  the 
hundred  of  Hertesmere,  co.  Suffolk,  shows  that  John  Sherman  was 
taxed  there  xii^.  In  the  return  of  the  lay  subsidy  of  1524  Thomas 
Sherman  of  Yaxley  was  taxed  there  7s.  6d.  on  £5  of  goods.  In  the 
return  of  the  lay  subsidy  of  1568  for  Yaxley  Thomas  Sherman, 
gentleman,  appears  as  taxed  £1.  6s.  8d.  on  £12  in  lands,  and  Francis 
Sherman,  his  brother,  was  taxed  2s.  6d.  on  £3  in  goods. 

It  has  been  said  that  the  maiden  name  of  Agnes,  the  first  wife  of 
Henry  Sherman  of  Colchester  and  Dadham,  whose  will  is  dated 

20  Jan.  1589/90  (Register,  vol.  50,  p.  281),  was  Butler.  The  will 
of  Thomas  Butter  of  Dedham,  co.  Essex,  clothier,  dated  20  Aug. 
1555  and  proved  7  May  1556  (P.C.C.,  Ketchyn,  5),  mentions  his 
daughter  Agpes  Rolffe,  makes  a  bequest  of  a  silver  pot  to  Harry 
Sherman's  wife,  and  appoints  Henry  Sherman  an  executor.  Possibly 
Agnes,  the  wife  of  Henry  Sherman,  was  Agnes  Butter,  a  sister  or 
niece  of  the  testator. 

The  abstract  of  the  will  of  Henry  Sherman  of  Dedham,  dated 

21  Aug.  1610,  in  Register,  vol.  50,  p.  285,  does  not  mention  the 
testator's  son  Samuel.  The  will,  however,  contains  the  following 
clause: 

Item  —  my  will  and  meaning  is  that  my  two  sons  Henry  and  Samuel 
Sherman  shsJl  sell  my  8  acres  of  land  in  the  Hallfeild  to  the  best  advantage 
of  my  children's  children  as  afore  bequeathed  within  two  years  after  my 
decease,  and  my  meaning  is  that  the  mayne  profit  which  shall  arise  of  the 
said  land  during  the  saia  two  years  shall  be  paid  by  them  to  my  said  sob 
Daniel  and  his  heirs. 

The  will  of  John  Herberd  of  Yaxley,  dated  23  Jan.  1458/9  (P.C.C, 
Stockton,  17),  devises  "all  my  lands  late  bought  of  Margaret  Sher- 
man &  Thomas  Porter,  chaplain,  lying  in  Yaxle  in  a  field  called 
Netherfeld/'

RECORDS  OF  THE  SOCIETY  OF  FRIENDS 
,      AT  VASSALBOROUGH,  ME. 

Communicated  by  Hon.  Hbnbt  Sbwall  Wbbstbr,  A.M.,  of  Gardiner.  Me. 

A  Society  of  Friends,  which  still  exists,  was  organized  in  Vassal- 
borough,  Me.,  in  1780.  The  History  of  Kennebec  County,  chapter 
xii,  contains  many  interesting  details  of  its  early  history.  A  house  of 
worship  was  built  in  1785-86,  and  the  records  of  marriages  com- 
mence soon  after.  As  was  customary,  each  certificate  was  recorded 
in  full.  The  first  certificate  is  here  given  at  length  in  order  to  show 
the  usual  form;  but  of  the  later  ones  abstracts  only  are  given,  and 
the  names  of  the  witnesses  have  been  omitted.  Certificates  were 
recorded,  not  as  they  were  issued,  but  as  they  were  presented  to  the 
clerk  for  that  purpose;  hence,  as  will  be  observed,  they  do  not  always 
appear  in  the  order  of  their  dates.

The  Greenfield  Hill  Society  in  Fairfield,  Conn.,  was  established  in

field  Hill  Church  was  organized  18  May  1726,  when  the  first  minis* 
ter,  Rev.  John  Goodsell,  was  ordained.  The  name  Northwest  Society 
was  changed  to  Greenfield  in  Oct.  1727,  and  the  word  Hill  seems  to 
have  been  added  to  the  name  by  usage  merely.  Rev.  John  Goodsell 
was  graduated  at  Yale  CoU^e  in  1724.  One  of  his  successors  in  the 
ministry  at  Greenfield  Hill  was  Rev.  Timothy  Dwight,  D.  D.,  after- 
wards president  of  Yale  CoU^e,  who  lived  at  Greenfield  from  1783 
to  1795  and  while  there  wroto  a  poem,  entitled  ''  Greenfield  Hill,"  in 
which  he  praised  the  beauty  of  the  surrounding  coimtry.

In  addition  to  the  abstracts  of  wills  and  other  Barbadian  records 
which  were  contributed  by  the  writer  to  the  Rbgistbb  for  October 
1913  (vol.  67,  pp.  360-371),  the  following  brief  abstracts  of  mis- 
cellaneous documents  were  made  during  tiie  writer's  stay  in  Bar- 


178  Additional  Barbadian  Notes  [April 

« 
bados,  and  are  printed  here  because  of  the  information  which  thej 
furnish  about  the  intercourse  and  the  family  ties  between  New  Eng- 
land and  Barbados  in  the  seventeenth  century. 

Robert  Walke  of  the  parish  of  St.  James,  planter,  makes  an  indenture. 
19  September  1644,  with  Nicholas  Walke  of  the  same  parish  for  one  laM  of 
his  twenty  acres,  reserving,  however,  the  use  of  the  crop  "when  the  said 
Robert  shall  think  good  for  going  home  for  England.'' 

Walter  Walke,  planter  m  Barbados,  sold,  16  May  1645,  to  Edward 
Breviter,  gentleman,  10  acres  in  the  parish  of  St.  Peter. 

Indenture,  dated  22  February  1678  [1678/9],  between  Lieut.  Robert 
Ayseford  of  the  parish  of  St.  Thomas,  gentleman,  guardian  to  John  and 
James  Root,  orphans  of  John  Root  of  the  said  parish  deceased,  and  Robert 
Walke  of  the  same  parish  and  island,  millwright,  for  two  thirds  of  the  plan- 
tation of  the  said  John  Root  deceased,  of  94  acres,  together  with  two  thirds 
of  a  stone  windmill  and  a  boiling  house  of  stone. 

John  Chambers  was  buried  at  St.  Michaers  in  1666. 

Samuel  Chambers  was  buried  at  St.  Michael's  in  1674. 

(The  will  of  Thomas  Walke,  Esq..  of  Lower  Norfolk  Co.,  Va.,  dated  5  January 
1693/4  and  proved  15  January  following,  mentions  brother  Kobert  Walke  oi 
Barbados  and  sister  Ann  Chambers  of  Barbados.  Thomas  Walke  was  the 
founder  of  a  noted  Norfolk  family  and  was  the  father  of  Anthony  Walke,  Esq., 
of  "  FairfieW,"  Princess  Anne  Co.,  Va.] 

Robert  Child,  "Doctor  of  Phisicke/'  sells,  2  October  1645,  to  Richard 
Vines,  gentleman,  a  neck  of  land  containing  about  300  acres  and  two  islands 
called  Stair  [?]  Island  and  Wood  Island,  for  one  pepper  com  on  the  Feast  of 
St.  Michael. 

[This  deed  was  probablv  entered  in  the  Barbadian  records  ^  Richard  Vines, 
who  removed  from  New  Eiigland  to  Barbados  in  1646  and  in  October  1645  had 
sold  to  the  Doctor  a  large  tract  of  land  in  Maine.  Savage  says  that  Child  went 
home  to  England  in  1647  and  never  returned.  The  question  now  arises  whether 
he  may  not  nave  visited  Barbados  subsequently,  after  his  quarrel  with  the  Massa- 
chusetts authorities.] 

Richard  Vines,  gentleman,  bought,  14  November  1646,  of  John  Greene, 
planter,  a  plantation  of  25  acres  in  the  parish  of  St.  Michael. 

Agreement,  dated  28  May  1647,  of  Robert  Bridges  of  Barbados,  gentle- 
man, to  ship  to  John  Jordan  of  New  England,  merchant,  1410  lbs.  d  mus- 
covado sugar. 

Ann  Cromwell  of  Boston  in  New  England,  widow,  executrix  of  her  hus- 
band, Capt.  Thomas  Cromwell,  deceased,  gives  a  power  of  attorney  to  her 
loving  friend  Edward  Hutchinson  of  Boston  to  collect  debts  due  from  John 
Maniford  of  Barbados.    Dated  2  October  1649. 

[Thomas  Cromwell  came  from  London  to  Boston  in  1646  and  died  in  1649. 
He  had  made  a  large  fortune  in  privateering.  His  widow  married  Richard  Knight 
of  Boston.] 

On  17  October  1649,  before  William  Aspinwall,  Notary  and  Tabdlion 
Publick,  etc..  appeared  Mr.  Adam  Winthrop  of  Boston,  New  England, 
husband  of  Elizabeth,  late  wife  of  Nathaniel  Longe,  late  of  Boston,  merchant^ 
and  made  Edward  Hutchinson  of  Boston,  merchant,  his  attorney  to  receive 
goods  due  in  Barbados  to  Elizabeth  his  wife  or  to  her  late  husband  Nathaniel 
Longe. 

J  According  to  Savage's  Gen.  Diet.,  Adam  Winthrop  married  secondly  Elita- 
ti,  daughttf  of  Thomas  Hawkins.  If  this  is  so,  she  was  a  widow  at  the  time 
of  her  marriage  to  Adam  Winthrop.  His  first  wife,  Elusabeth  Glover,  died  ia 
1648.    C^.  Aspinwall  Notarial  Records,  p.  225.]

John  Ruffe  of  Barbados,  planter,  and  James  Bycot  [or  TTpcot]  of  the  same, 
barber,  sell,  4  March  1656/7,  to  Capt.  William  Mott  of  tiie  same  island, 
g^itleman,  part  of  a  messuage  where  said  Mott  now  liveth. 

[Adam  Mott  of  Portsmouth,  R.I.,  had  an  aged  father,  John  Mott^  who  was  at 
Portsmouth  as  early  as  1639.  On  13  November  1654  the  town  of  Portsmouth 
▼oted  "  to  pay  John  Motts  passage  to  Barbados  and  back  again  if  he  cannot  be 
received."] 

John  Woodmansey  of  Boston,  merchant,  makes,  22  May  1659,  his  friend 
Mr.  David  Morgan,  now  resident  of  Barbados,  his  attorney  to  collect  such 
debts  as  are  due  him  there  and  in  other  Carrabee  Islands. 

[According  to  Savage's  Qen.  Diet.,  John  Woodmansey  was  a  Boston  merchant 
as  early  as  1659  and  died  about  1685.  The  surname  is  stiU  found  in  Westerly, 
RJ.,  and  in  that  vicinity.] 

Col.  Humphrey  Hooke  of  Barbados,  Esq'*,  appears  in  the  Barbadian 
deeds  in  1659. 

CHe  was  perlu^M  the  Bristol  alderman,  whose  son,  Francis  Hooke  of  Kittery, 
manied  Maiy,  sister  of  Nathaniel  Maverick  oi  St.  Lucy's,  Barbados.] 

Robert  Gibbs  of  Boston,  fishmonger,  mentions,  15  April  1660,  articles  of 
agreement  made  15  March  1657  [1657/8]  between  Robert  Gibbs,  citizen  and 
fishmonger  of  London,  and  John  Winder  of  London,  grocer,  and  William 
Dickinson  of  London,  draper.  He  recites  that  Robert  Gibbs  and  William 
Dicldnson  went  to  New  England,  and  that  Dicldnson  removed  thence  to 
Barbados,  where  he  has  recently  oied. 

[According  to  Savage's  Gen.  Diet.,  Robert  Gibbs  of  Boston,  merchant,  was  a 
son  of  Sir  Heniy  Gibbs  of  Warwicksnire  and  came  to  New  Eki^and  before  1660. 
He  married  Ehzabeth,  daughter  of  Jacob  Sheaffe,  and  died  m  1673,  aged  37, 
leaving  issue.  William  Dickinson  has  escaped  the  notice  of  Savage  and  probably 
did  not  remain  bng  in  New  England.] 

William  Brenton  of  Newport  on  road  Island  within  the  Colony  of  Provi- 
dence Plantation  in  New  England,  merchant,  gives  a  power  of  attorney  to 
Peleg  Sanf ord  of  Newport  to  be  his  attomev  in  Barbadoes  to  collect  what  is 
due  nim  there.    Done  at  the  Island  of  road,  17  December  1661. 

[Gov.  Pele^  Sanford's  first  wife  was  the  daughter  of  Gov.  William  Brenton. 
From  this  William  Brenton,  one  of  the  early  settlers  of  Newport,  descended 
Admiral  Sir  Jahleel  Brenton,  who  was  with  Nelson  at  Trafalgar.J 

William  Kent  of  Boston  in  New  England  and  Mary  his  wife^  formerly 
widow  of  John  Mears,  deceased,  make  John  Puddifult  of  ye  Bay  m  ye  Bar-

4.  Robert  Cutchhan  or  Cushman.  baptized  at  Rolvenden,  oo.  Kent, 
9  Feb.  1577/8,  was,  in  all  prooability,  identical  with  Robert  Cush* 
man,  the  agent  of  the  Leyden  Pilgrims  in  England.  In  1603  we  find 
hun  in  Canterbury,  co.  Kent,  as  servant  to  George  Masters.  He 
was  presented.  14  Nov.  1603,  oy  the  churchwardens  of  St.  Andrew's 
Parish,  ''for  that  he  doth  sav  he  will  not  come  to  his  parish  ohuroh, 
because  he  cannot  be  edified  and  saith  he  can  and  wiU  defend  it  by 
the  word  of  God."  Not  doing  the  penance  imposed  on  him  by  the 
ecclesiastical  court,  he  was  excommunicated  12  Nov.  1604,  but  oa 
28  June  1605  he  appeared  before  the  court  and  asked  for  absolution, 
which  was  granted  to  him  on  7  July  1605,  when  he  was  received  again 
into  the  Church.  In  the  same  year,  1605,  he  became  a  freeman  of 
Canterbury,  the  record  of  his  admission  describing  him  as  Robert 
Couchman,  "grosser,"  a  freeman  by  apprenticeship  to  George 
Masters.    He  married  first,  in  the  parish  of  St.  Alphege,  Canterbuiy ,

31  July  1606,  Sara  Redbr,  who  dwelt  in  the  precincts  of  the  Cathe- 
dral and  whose  parentage  has  not  be^i  discovered.  Their  son 
Thomas  was  baptized  in  the  parish  of  St.  Andrew,  Canterbury, 
8  Feb.  1607/8.  this  date  serving  to  identify  him  with  Elder  Thomas 
Cushman  of  tne  Plymouth  Colony,  who  oied  11  Dec.  1691.  "neere 
the  end  of  the  84th  yeare  of  his  life."*  No  further  record  of  this 
Cushman  family,  after  the  baptism  of  the  son  Thomas,  is  found  at 
Canterbury.  Probably  soon  after  the  date  of  baptism  Robert 
Cushman  with  his  family  joined  Rev.  John  Robinson's  colony  in 
Holland.  When  his  wife  Sarah  died  is  imknown,  but  he  married 
secondly,  at  Leyden,  5  June  1617,  Mart  (Clarkb)  SmNGsi/roN, 
widow  ot  Thomas  of  Sandwich,  co.  Kent,  shoemaker,  the  licence  for 
her  marriage  to  her  first  husband,  which  was  to  be  celebrated  at 
St.  Mary  Bredman's.  Canterbmy,  being  dated  28  Jan.  1610/11. 
Although  Robert  Cusnman  appears  as  a  grocer  at  Canterbury,  he  is 
called  a  woolcomber  in  the  record  of  his  second  marriage  at  Leyden; 
but  this  change  of  occupation  is  perhaps  explained  by  the  following 
passage  in  Bradford's  EQstory:  "They  [the  Pilgrims]  removed  [from 
Amsterdam]  to  Leyden,  a  fair  &  bewtifull  citie^  and  of  a  sweete 
situation,  but  made  more  famous  by  y*  universitie  wherwith  it  is 
adorned,  in  which  of  late  had  been  so  many  learned  men.  But 
wantinj^  that  trafl&ke  by  sea  which  Amsterdam  injoyes,  it  was  not  so 
beneficiall  for  their  outward  means  of  living  &  estats.  6ut  being  now 
hear  pitchet  they  fell  to  such  trads  &  implojnoients  as  they  best  could; 
valewing  peace  &  their  spirituall  comforte  above  any  other  riches 
whatsoever.  And  at  lenght  they  came  to  raise  a  competente  & 
comforteable  living,  but  with  hard  and  continuall  labor.'' f  Under 
these  circumstances  what  was  more  natural  than  that  Robert  Cush- 
man should  turn  to  a  branch  of  the  clothmaking  trade,  the  principal 
business  of  the  Weald  of  Kent,  where  he  was  bom  and  where  he  spent 
his  early  years?  In  the  autumn  of  1617,  soon  after  his  second  mar- 
riage, he  and  John  Carver  were  chosen  by  their  companions  to  go  to 
England  and  negotiate  with  the  Council  for  \%^nia  about  a  patent 
witibin  the  grant  of  the  Virginia  Company.  Sis  connection  with 
the  transfer  of  a  part  of  the  Leyden  congregation  to  Plymouth  in  New 
England  is  known  from  the  writings  of  Bradford,  and  the  story  need 
not  be  repeated  here.  He  and  his  son  Thomas  arrived  at  Plymouth 
in  the  Foritme  in  Nov.  1621 ;  but  he  sailed  for  England  in  the  same 
ship  about  a  month  later,  on  business  for  the  Colony,  leaving  the  boy 
Thomas  in  the  care  of  Governor  Bradford.  Apparently  his  wife 
never  came  to  New  England.  Probably  she  was  dead  when  her 
husband  and  son  embark^  on  the  Fortune  for  their  westward  voyage. 
Robert  Cushman  himiself  was  busily  engaged  in  England  in  the  affairs 
of  the  Colony  down  to  his  death^  which  took  place  probably  in  the 
summer  of  1625.  Bradford's  History  contains  many  letters  from 
him,  and  a  sermon  preached  by  him  at  Plymouth  on  the  day  before 
he  sisdled  for  England,  on  "The  Sin  and  Danger  of  Self-Love,"  was 
printed  in  London  in  1622.

[A  fruitless  search  has  been  made  among  the  Soole,  Soule,  and  Sole  wills 
and  administrations  of  Kent  for  positive  proof  of  the  parentage  of  Thomas 
Soole,  the  father  of  Sarah  (Soole)  Hinckley.  He  was  probably  the  son  of 
the  John  Soole  who  married  Marie  Whitfield  at  Hawkhurst  21  Jan.  1565/6; 
but  he  was  not  baptized  at  Hawkhurst,  unless  the  register,  which  up  to  1506 
is  a  copy  of  an  earlier  register  made  in  that  year,  is  defective.  Peniap  the 
family  lived  in  one  of  the  neighboring  Sussex  parishes,  or  they  may  be  de- 
scended from  John  Sole  of  Cranbrook,  oo.  Kent,  the  testator  of  1508/9.  In 
Rboistbb,  vol.  67,  pp.  37  ff.,  records  pertaining  to  the  Edendens  or  Iddendens 
of  00.  Kent  were  prmted,  and  on  pp.  43-44  of  that  volume  an  account  was 
given  of  John  Iddenden  of  Cranbrook,  tailor,  and  his  wife  and  children.  It 
was  there  stated  that  this  John  Iddenden  married  Christian  Glover,  because 
botii  he  and  his  wife  in  their  wills  called  Richard  Glover  "brother.^'  From 
the  records  given  above  it  appears  that  the  maiden  name  of  John  Iddeodeo'a 
wife  was  Mercer,  not  Giover,  and  Richard  Glover  was  probably  the  husband 
of  her  sister  or  oi  John  Iddenden's  sister.    Timothy  Mercer,  who  was  over-

Beer  of  her  will,  was  of  Hawkhtirst,  and  was  probably  her  brother.  She  was 
married  to  John  Iddenden  at  Hawkhurst^  26  Sept.  1569.  In  addition  to  the 
statements  about  their  children,  printed  in  Registeb,  vol.  67,  p.  44,  the 
records  given  above  show  that  theu-  daudbter  Mary  was  married  at  Hawk- 
hurst,  16  Oct.  1598,  to  Thomas  Soole  of  Mawkhurst,  and  that  Thomas  and 
Mary  (Iddenden)  Soole  had  Sarah,  who  was  baptized  at  Hawkhurst  8  June 

1600  and  was  married  there,  7  May  1617.  to  Samuel  Hinckley;  Mary,  bap- 
tised 29  Jan.  1603/4;  Thomas  (probably),  bapt.  12  May  1605;  Anne,  baptized 
30  Apr.  1615;  and  possibly  others,  since  there  is  a  gap  of  almost  ten  years 
between  the  baptisms  of  the  two  last-mentioned  children.  No  will  of  Thomas 
or  of  Mary  (Iddenden)  Soole  has  been  found.  E^atherine,  another  daughter 
of  John  and  Christian  (Mercer)  Iddenden,  baptized  at  Cranbrook  23  Feb. 
1577/8,  is  proved  by  the  records  given  above  to  have  been  married  at  Hawk- 
hurst, 13  July  160O,  to  Stephen  Hosmer;  and  among  then-  children  was 
James  Hosmer,  who  was  baptized  at  Hawkhurst  8  Dec.  1605  and  emigrated

(From  the  records  piven  above,  supplemented  by  New  England  records, 
the  following  brief  Quilter  pedigree  has  been  constructed: 

1 .  Mabk  Qun/TEB  of  Stoke-by-Nayland  and  Nayland,  co.  Suiffolk,  married, 
20  Sept.  1601,  Jane  Babnabd.    He  was  buried  at  Stoke-by-Nayland  31  May 
1627.  and  his  widow  was  buried  there  2  June  1645.    A  search  for  his  ancestry 
has  been  unsuccessful.    The  name  is  found  principally  at  High  Easter  and 
at  Good  Easter,  co.  Essex. 
Children: 
2.  i.      Mabk,  bapt.  at  Stoke-by-Naylaod  19  Deo.  1602.

mnother  family,  and  other  Quilter  entries  in  these  registers  may,  therefore,  have  been 
oreriooked.

[From  the  records  given  above  and  from  other  records  preserved 
Im  New  England  the  following  genealogy  has  been  prepared: 

1.  Beltopt. 

Children: 

L  John,  of  Sawforidgeworth,  co.  Herts,  d.  abt.  1546,  evidently  «.p. 
In  26  Henry  VIII  (1534-5)  he  was  seised  of  a  house  with  a  garden 
and  two  acres  of  arable  land  called  "  Currants''  in  Sawbridgeworth. 

He  m.  not  later  than  26  Henry  VHI  (1534-5)  Margaret , 

whose  maiden  name  was  perhaps  Payne  or  Mathewe.  She  sur- 
vived her  husband  and  m.  (2)  abt.  1547  Thomas  Westwood,  who 
in  1550  was  of  '*  Maudlyn  "  (probably  Magdalen  Laver),  co.  Elssex. 
She  was  dead  in  1549/50,  Thomas  Westwood,  her  son  by  her  second 
husband,  being  then  abt.  three  years  of  age. 

ii.    Edmond.  living  abt  1546. 

2.  iii.  Hbnrt  (perhaps  son  of  1  and  brother  of  the  two  preceding). 

2.  Henbt  Beltoft  (perhaps  son  of  1  and  brother  of  the  John  and 

Edmond  mentioned  above),  of  Sawbridgeworth,  co.  Herts 
(see  Feet  of  Fines,  Hiliuy  term,  3  Elizabeth,  1560/1),  was 
buried  at  Sawbridgeworth  5  July  1561.  Elizabeth  Beltoft, 
who  was  buried  at  Sawbridgeworth  14  Jan.  1560/1,  may  have 
been  his  wife. 

The  following  wero  probably  his  children: 

3.  i.      Richard. 

ii.    AucB  (Bbiax>ft  alias  Bklknap),  perhaps  m.  (1)  at  Sawbridgeworth, 

14  Apr.  1562,  Wiluam  Stttbbs:  m.  (perhaps  2) Sutton. 

Children  (surname  jSii</<m):  1.  Clement.  2.1ViUiam,  3.  Richard, 
To  each  of  these  three  sons  the  sum  of  3s.  4d.  was  left  by  the  will 
of  their  uncle,  Richard  Beltoft,  in  1594  (vide  supra,  p.  91). 

3.  Richard  Beltoft  alias  Belknap  (probably  son  of  Henry),  of 

Sawbridgeworth,  co.  Herts,  husbandman,  was  buried  at 
Sawbridgeworth  2  Dec.  1599.  His  will,  dated  20  Aug.  1594, 
seems  to  show  that  he  held  his  land  as  a  copyholder  of  the 
Manor  and  that  in  1594  he  had  only  two  children  living,  of 
whom  Bennet  was  probably  the  elder.  He  married  Eliza- 
beth   ,  who  was  buried  at  Sawbridgeworth  17  Jan. 

1588/9.

makes  a  letter  ''b"  as  his  mark  in  the  parish  registers.  He 
married  at  Sawbridgeworth,  25  May  1586,  Grace  Adam, 
who  was  buried  at  Sawbridgeworth  29  Oct.  1630,  perhaps 
daughter  of  Peter  and  Elizabeth  of  Ware,  this  Peter  being  a 
"berebrewer,"  whose  will  was  proved  at  Stortford,  co.  Herts,

known. His  residence  in  England  is  also  unknown,  the  only 
indication  of  it  being  the  record,  in  the  parish  re^^sters  of 
Netteswell,  co.  Essex,  of  the  burial,  6  Dec.  1620,  of  "Abra 
Bel.  .  .  .  f  s.  Abra  et  Mara,"  which  seems  to  refer  to  an 
infant  son  of  Abraham  and  Mary. 

With  his  wife  Mary  and  his  children,  Abraham  Belknap 
emigrated  to  New  England  (in  what  ship  is  unknown), 
probably  about  1635.  In  1638  he  received  a  grant  of  40 
acres  of  land  at  Lynn,  Mass.,  his  name  appearing  in  the

papers  in  the  case  of  William  Longley  v.  Henry  Ceilings  and 
John  Hathome,  in  behalf  of  the  town  of  Lyn,  26  Mar.  1661, 
among  those  who  shared  in  the  apportionment  of  land  in 
1638.  (Records  and  Files  of  the  Qiiarterly  Courts  of  Essex 
County,  vol.  2,  p.  270.)  Among  his  neighbors  at  Lynn  were 
Edmund  Farrington,  one  of  the  creditors  of  his  estate,  who 
was  from  Ohiey,  co.  Bucks,  and  came  to  New  England  in 
the  HopeweU,  1  Apr.  1635,  and  Francis  Ingalls,  whose  daugh- 
ter married  Joseph  Belknap,  Abraham's  son.  The  following 
record  is  found  in  Suffolk  Deeds,  Lib.  1,  fo.  42: 

Adam  Otley  &  Thomas  Dexter  of  Linne  granted  vnto  Richard 
Russell  of  Charlstowne  thirty  Sheepe  &  Lambs  in  the  hands

The  wiU  of  Abraham  Belknap,  which  was  sworn  to  20 
Feb.  1643/4,  is  unfortunately  missing;  but  the  inventory  of 
his  estate,  beginning  ''The  inventorie  of  Abraham  Bellnap's

been  printed  in  Records  and  Files  of  the  Quarterly  Courts 
of  Essex  County,  vol.  1,  p.  60,  note.  His  estate  consisted 
of  a  house  and  5  acres  of  land,  2  acres  of  planting  land,  2 
acres  of  salt  marsh,  6  acres  of  salt  marsh  at  Fox  HiU,  and  30 
acres  "at  the  village."  He  also  had  a  nmnber  of  ''shepe," 
"cowes,"  "gotes,"  and  "piges,"  and  the  usual  amount  of 
household  implements  and  furniture.  There  is  a  list  of 
debts  amounting  to  £5.  13s.  3d.,  the  creditors  being  Joseph 
Armitage,  Francis  Ingalls,  goodman  Philips,  Richard  Ronton, 
Thomas  Laughton,  Ed.  Farington,  Gerard  Spencer,  Mr. 
Hinge,  and  John  Person.  The  net  amount  of  the  inventory 
was  £47. 17s.,  and  the  mark  of  Mary  his  wife  appears  on  the 
document.  The  Essex  Ardiquarian,  vol.  2,  p.  183,  states  that 
this  inventory  contains  the  first  mention  in  Essex  County 
of  pot-hooks  and  hangers,  brass  pot  and  frying  pans,  spit  and 
dripping  pans.

Robert  and  Elisabeth  of  Hinghajn.  He  may  have  been  the  Samuel 
Belknap  who  owned  land  at  Easthampton,  L.!.,  5  July  1653 
(Records  of  Easthampton,  Vol.  2,  pp.  159,  161);  but  if  he  went  to 
Easthampton  he  evidently  did  not  remain  there,  ae  he  had  a  house 
in  Salem  m  1661,  his  land  lying  between  the  present  Essex  St.,  near 
the  corner  of  Beckford  St.,  and  the  North  River.*  On  20  Feb. 
1665  [1665/6]  Samuel  Belknap  of  Salem,  joyner,  with  the  consent 
of  Sani  his  wife,  in  consideration  of  £3  conveys  to  Edward  Gaskyn 
of  Saleon,  ship  carpenter,  land  contayning  10  Poale,  2  Poale  broad

1671  Samuell  Belnap  of  Maiden,  j^ner.  and  Josepn  Belnap  of 
Boston,  glover,  convey  to  Thomas  Laiignton,  Sr.,  of  Lynn  their 
thirds  in  a  ''pa^c^U  of  land  ....  part  of  an  house  lott  formerlv 
Abraham  Rednap's  [nc]  house  lott,  father  to  sd.  Samuel  and  Joseph 
Rednap,"  and  to  this  deed  Benjamin  Rednap  and  Peter  Brackett 
are  witnesses.  The  clerk  evidently  wrote  ttednap  in  two  places 
instead  of  Belknap,  the  mistake  being  due  probably  to  the  appear- 
ance of  the  name  of  Benjamin  Rednap  among  the  witnesses.  The 
R«dnaps  were  neighbors  of  Abraham  Bellmap  and  came  from 
London;  and  yrhiie  there  was  a  Joseph  Rednap,  son  of  the  immigrant 
of  that  name,  he  is  not  to  be  confounded  with  Joseph  Belknap, 
although  some  of  his  appearances  before  the  Court  for  denying  the 
lawfulness  of  infant  baptism  have  been  laid  at  the  door  of  Joseph 
Belknap.  Joseph  Rednap  married  Sarah,  dau.  of  Thomas  Lau^gii- 
ton.  Samud  Belknap's  next  and  apparently  last  move  was  to 
Haverhill,  Mass.,  where  he  took  the  oatn  of  alledanoe  28  Nov.  1677, 
and  in  1696  he  conveyed  land  there  to  his  sons  ESbeneser  and  Abra- 
ham, one  of  the  deeds  being  acknowledged  by  him  as  late  as  31 
Aug.  1731.  Seven  children  recorded,  of  whom  the  eldest,  Mary, 
was  b.  1653,  and  a  son,  Abraham,  who  was  b.  abt.  1660,  was  ancestor 
of  many  of  the  name  in  Framingham,  Mass. 

iv.  Joseph,  said  to  have  been  bom  1630  (but  proof  of  this  statement  seems 
lacking);  d.  14  Nov.  1712;  bur.  in  King's  ChapeL  Boston;  m.  (1)

and  Sarah  of  Hatfield,  whom  he  survived.  He  was  executor  of 
the  will  of  Richard  Woodman  of  Lynn  in  1647,  was  in  Boston  as 
early  as  1658,  when  he  was  a  member  of  the  Ancient  and  Honorable 
Artillery  Co.,  and  was  made  a  freeman  in  1665.  Three  years  later 
he  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Old  South  Church,  and  in  that 
same  year  was  dismissed  to  Hatfield.  He  bought  land  in  Haver- 
hill in  1682,  but  it  does  not  appear  that  he  ever  lived  there.  His 
will  is  dated  29  Nov.  1710  and  was  proved  5  Deo.  1712.  At  the 
time  of  his  death  he  was  a  resident  of  Boston.  Twelve  and  possibly 
fifteen  children,  of  whom  four  were  bv  his  first  wif e^  one  was  by  hu

NOTES 

It  havinff  oome  to  the  attention  of  this  Society  that  certain 
penealogists  and  publishers  have  used  the  name  of  the  Society 
in  connection  with  their  own  enterprises,  the  Society  again  de- 
sires to  state  that  it  has  NO  ff enealofirical  representatives  in  this 
country  or  in  England,  nor  is  it  in  any  way  connected  with  any 
publications  other  than  those  that  it  issues  over  its  own  name 
at  9  Ashburton  Place,  Boston. 

The  Committee  on  English  Research  desires  to  state,  however, 
that  although  the  Society  has  no  official  representative  in  Eng- 
land the  Committee  is  employing  Miss  French  for  a  part  of  her 
time  as  a  searcher  of  records  there  along  special  lines  for  the 
benefit  of  the  Reqistbr. 

RoBBirr  Cross,  Sb.,  op  Ipswich,  Mass.  —  In  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  the 
Supreme  Judicial  Court  in  Boston,  in  a  volume  of  Births,  Marriages,  and  Deaths, 
fo.  85,  is  preserved  the  original  manuscript  of  a  deposition  by  Robert  Cross,  Sr.. 
of  Ipswicn,  Mass.,  made  5  Dec.  1693,  which  was  probably  at  one  time  included 
amcmg  the  papers  in  the  suit  of  Robo-t  CrooB.  Sr.,  v,  John  Bumham,  Jr.,  for  the 
recovery  of  30  acres  of  land  in  Ipswich.  This  case  was  tried  in  the  Inferior 
Court  at  Ipswich  in  June  1093  and  in  May  1694,  and  the  jury  returned  a  verdict 
lor  the  plaintiff.  The  defendant  appealed  to  the  higher  court  at  Boston,  and 
in  kyt,  1695  the  verdict  in  the  lower  court  in  favor  of  the  plaintiff  was  upheld. 
Of  the  main  question  involved  in  the  case,  which  is  numbered  3138,  nothing  need 
be  said;  but  m  the  forty  odd  folios  of  manuscript  several  items  of  interest  may 
be  found  which  add  to  our  information  about  the  pioneers  of  Ipswich  and  the 
metes  and  bounds  of  town  grants  on  the  east  and  south  side  of  the  Chebacoo 
Bhrer,  within  the  limits  of  the  present  town  of  Essex. 

The  statement  of  Robert  Cross,  Sr.,  is  as  follows: 

Robert  Cross  Sen'  appeared  &  produced  a  Catalogue  an  accoimt  of  ye  birth 
ol  his  Children  to  which  ne  gave  oth,  that  it  was  Entered  in  ye  Days  of  ye  birth

Elisabeth  Cross  was  bom  ye  4  of  August  1636  it  being  the  5^  day  of  the  wedc.

From  this  statement  the  date  of  the  marriage  of  Robert  Cross,  Sr..  is  learned, 
though  not  the  maiden  name  of  his  wife.  Of  the  daughters  named  aoovei  EHisfr- 
beth  married  William  Nelson,  Martha  married  William  Dirkee,  and  Ma;^  mar- 
ried Ephraim  Herrick  of  Salem.  In  the  papers  concerning  this  case  are  deposi- 
tions by  the  daughters  Elizabeth  and  Martha,  and  also  by  the  sons  of  Robert 
Cross,  Sr.,  viz.,  Robert,  aged  52  years  in  1695,  and  Stephen,  aged  48  years  in 
1695.  Robert  Cross,  Sr^  was  aged  70  years  in  1682.  Among  oQiers  who  made 
depositions  were  Lieut.  John  Andrews,  aged  72  years  in  1693,  who  styles  Robert 
Cross,  Sr.,  '*my  brother,''  and  Walter  Fairchild,  aged  62  years,  who  deposes 
concerning  Mary  Herrick,  the  daughter  of  Robert  Cross,  Sr.  Robert  Cross,  Sr., 
declares:  I  am  the  anaentest  man  and  first  Proprietor  that  ever  lived  on  the 
South  side  of  Chebacco  river."  To  his  declaration  is  attached  his  autograph. 
In  1695  he  would  have  been  83  years  old.  Just  why  his  deposition  does  not 
include  the  birth  dates  of  the  sons  Robert  and  Stephen  and  others  who  are 
strongly  thought  to  be  his  children  is  not  clear,  but  misdit  perhaps  be  revealed 
by  a  more  thorough  investigation  among  the  court  records  of  Salem  and  Boston. 
Tnis  case  furnishes  to  the  historians  of  Ipswich  and  Essex  interesting  material 
for  study  concerning  the  immigrant  ancestor  of  the  Cross  family.

Parker-Mavsrick.  ^  Rev.  James  Parker  was  of  Dorchester,  Mass.,  perhaps 
as  earlv  as  1630.  He  was  freeman  in  1634,  removed  to  Weymouth,  Mass.,  and 
from  there  was  a  deputy  to  the  General  Court,  1639-1642.  Winthrop  says: 
''  Those  of  the  lower  part  of  the  river  Piscataquack  invited  one  Mr.  James  Parker 
of  Weymouth,  a  godly  man  and  a  scholar,  one  who  had  been  many  years  a  deputy 
for  the  public  court,  to  be  their  minister."  (Wi.nthrop's  New  England,  vol.  % 
p.  93.)  In  a  list  headed  ''  Gifts  bestowed  on  the  Colony  since  1634,"  Winthrop 
names  "  Mr.  Parker,  of  Weymouth,  his  brother,  £300,  £50  to  Mr.  Parker  and 
Mr.  Stone  their  disposing."     (76.,  vol.  2,  p.  342.) 

From  Portsmoutn  James  Parker  removed  to  Barbados,  whence  he  wrote  a 
letter  to  Gov.  Winthrop  under  date  of  24-4th  1646:  "We  got  well  to  this  island 
of  Barbados  through  grace.  .  .  I  am  here  engaged  topreacn  only  for  the  present. 
...  I  have  yet  sent  for  my  wife  to  me,  in  the  midst  of  these  great  distrac- 
tions. .  .  .  Whether  I  shall  return  for  New  England  I  know  not.  Onl]^  this. 
I  thinks  I  shall."  (Hutchinson  Papers,  vd.  1,  p.  175.)  A  letter  from  Buchard 
Vines,  dated  Barbados,  16  July  1647,  reads:  'Mr.  Parker  with  his  wife  and 
family  are  well  seated  in  a  good  plantation  of  20  acres,  besides  a  good  stipend  and 
many  good  guifts,  well  approved  of  in  his  function,  opposed  by  none,  unless  by 
antinomians  and  such  like."     (/&.,  vol.  1.  p.  222.) 

Savage  states  that  James  Parker  died  m  1666,  while  on  a  visit  to  BostoiL 
This  is  an  error.  He  died  at  Barbados  in  1652,  and  his  will  was  proved  by  his 
widow  Mary,  who  was  a  daughter  of  Rev.  John  Maverick  of  Dorchester.  An 
abstract  of  this  will  follows: 

The  Will  of  James  Parkkr,  Clarke,  21  August  1648.  To  my  son  John  Parker 
£5,  and  after  my  debts  are  paid  the  remainder  of  my  estate  is  to  be  divided  into 
three  equal  shares,  one  third  to  my  wife  Mary  Parker,  the  other  two  thirds  to 
my  children  Asricam,  James,  Thomas,  Fearnot,  and  Mary  Parker.  Mv  wife  ti 
to  sell  all  mjr  property,  and  she  and  my  children  are  to  go  to  New  England  and 
there  to  fulfu  my  will  as  abovesaid.  My  wife  Mary  Parker,  sole  executor.  Mr. 
Richard  Gregory  and  Mr.  Richard  Vines,  executors  in  Barbados,  and  my  Bros. 
Mr.  Elias  Maverick  and  Mr.  Moyses  Maverick,  executors  in  New  England. 
Witness:  W™  Gregory,  aged  46  years.  Entered  26  August  1652.  (Barbados 
Probate  Records.) 

The  James  Parker  who  died  in  Boston  in  1666  was  a  son  of  Rev.  James  Parker. 
Administration  on  his  estate  was  panted  13  Dec.  1666  to  Mr.  Moses  Maverick, 
"his  uncle.''  (Suffolk  Probate  Files,  419.)  There  were  several  depodtions 
made  in  connection  with  the  settlement  of  his  estate.    John  Dempster  of  Bar*

bftdoB  deposed  "that  he  very  well  knew  James  Parker  late  of  this  Island  of  Bar- 
bados, brother  of  ffeamot  Peamell,  who  some  time  before  his  y«  s<i  James  Parkers 
laet  goeing  of  this  Island  i  being  then  bound  of  for  New  England  did  say  that  he 
was  very  much  behdding  to  his  brother  Pearnell  &  his  wife  who  had  done  for 
him  in  londness  more  like  a  father  &  mother  than  a  brother  in  law  &  sister.  And 
did  therefore  say  that  in  regard  of  their  great  ciyilityes  to  him  that  when  he  dyed 
thev  his  brother  &  sister  should  have  all  he  had  in  y«  world."  (lb,:  also  Bar- 
bados Probate  Records.)  Depositions  to  the  same  enect  were  ntiade  by  Edward 
Lillie  of  Boston,  at  whose  house  James  Parker  died,  and  Nathaniel  Grafton, 
who  married  Elisabeth,  daughter  of  Moses  Maverick,  and  died  at  Barbados  in 
167a 

'Administration  on  the  estate  of  Mr.  James  Parker  was  granted  at  Barbados 
8  Feb.  1666  [1666/7]  to  <'Capt.  John  Parnell  who  married  his  sister."  John 
Pamell  and  Feamot  Parker  were  married  in  the  parish  of  St.  John,  19  Mar. 
1660  (1660/1). 

Asricam  Parker,  "formeriy  of  New  England,  now  of  Barbados,"  was  in  1663 
master  of  the  "Ketch  Kindred,"  of  which  James  Parker,  Christopher  Coddins- 
ton,  Ferdinando  Gorges,  and  others,  all  of  Barbados,  were  owners.  (Suffolk

Historical  Intblugbncb 

Rbcobdb  or  Woodstock,  Conn.  —  Wade  Eeyes,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  writes  to 
the  editor  that  in  the  office  of  the  town  clerk  of  Chester,  Vt,  there  is  preserved 
what  appears  to  be  an  original  proprietors'  record  of  the  town  of  New  Rozbury 
(now  Woodstock).  Conn.  This  rec(»-d  now  serves  as  a  binder  for  the  orimnal 
proprietors'  record  of  Chester,  and  consists  of  a  flexiUe  front  cover  followed  by 
seven  leaves  of  rec<nxls  and  a  flexible  back  cover  preceded  by  six  leaves  of  records. 
Lots  numbered  from  1  to  49.  inclusive,  were  assigned  on  28  Aug.  1686  to  persons 
whose  names  are  given.  There  were  Chandlers  among  the  emy  proprietors  of 
Woodstock,  and  there  were  Chandlers  among  the  early  proprietors  of  Chester, 
and  these  facts  may  perhaps  account  for  the  appearance  of  the  Connecticut 
record  in  Vermont.  Chester  was  formerlv  called  New  Flamstead,  and  the 
earliest  meetings  of  its  proprietors  were  held  at  Worcester,  Mass.,  in  1762. 


Early  Bohkmian  Settlers  in  America.  —  Thomas  Cai)ek,  Esq.,  of  First 
Avenue  and  74th  Street,  New  York  City,  is  preparing  a  historv  of  the  early 
Bohemian  immigration  to  America^  and  will  be  gjaa  to  hear  from  those  who  have 
information  to  impart  on  that  subject. 


Genealogies  in  Preparation.  —  Persons  of  the  several  names  are  advised  to 
furnish  the  compilers  of  these  genealogies  with  records  of  their  own  families 
and  other  information  which  they  think  may  be  useful.  We  would  suggest  that 
all  facts  of  interest  illustrating  family  history  or  character  be  communicated, 
especially  service  under  the  U.  S.  Government,  the  holding  of  other  offices,  grad- 
uation from  college  or  professional  schools,  occupation,  with  places  and  dates

JULY,  1914 


DON  GLEASON  HILL,  M.A.,  LL.B. 

By  Julius  Hxrbbbt  Txpitlb,  Esq.,  of  Dedham,  Mass. 

Don  Gleason  Hill,  the  second  son  of  George  and  Sylvia  (Grout) 
Hill,  was  bom  at  West  Medway,  Mass.,  12  July  1847,  and  died  at 
Dedham,  Mass.,  20  February  1914.  He  traced  his  ancestry  to 
Samuel  Hill  of  colonial  times;  to  Matthew  Gushing  of  Hingham, 
1638;  to  Thomas  Angell,  one  of  the  earliest  settlers  of  Providence, 
with  Roger  Williams;  to  Thomas  Olney  of  Salem,  1635,  who  also 
joined  Williams  in  the  purchase  of  lands  at  Providence  and  in  f  oimding 
there  a  Baptist  church;  to  John  Grout,  "chirurgion,"  of  Water- 
town,  1641;  to  Edward  Dix  of  Watertown,  1630,  and  to  John  Bar- 
nard of  the  same  plantation;  to  John  Boynton  of  Rowley ;  to  Richard 
Swan,  who  joined  the  Boston  church  in  1639;  to  Joseph  Jewett  of 
Dorchester,  1639;  to  John  Putnam  of  Salem,  1640;  to  Edward 
Elmer  of  Cambridge,  1632;  to  Hugh  Caulkins  of  Gloucester,  1640; 
and  to  James  Hamblen  of  Barnstable. 

Mr.  Hill's  early  education  was  obtained  in  the  common  schools 
of  his  native  town,  Medway.  His  strong  desire  to  make  the  most  of 
his  future  opportimities  came  while  he  was  a  faithful  assistant  to  his 
father  in  the  carpenter's  trade;  and  by  dint  of  hard  work  he  earned 
enough  to  continue  his  education  in  higher  institutions.  His  early 
training  was  in  a  home  whose  religious  atmosphere  helped  to  shape 
his  career.  He  fitted  for  college  at  Wesleyan  Academy,  Wilbraham, 
Mass.,  and  in  1865  entered  Amherst  College,  in  the  class  which 
numbers  among  its  distinguished  men  Hon.  Charles  Herbert  Allen, 
member  of  Congress  from  his  district  in  the  Forty-Ninth  and  Fiftieth 
Congresses,  the  late  Rev.  Dr.  Elijah  Winchester  Donald,  Rector  of 
Trinity  Church,  Boston;  Rev.  Joseph  Bartlett  Seabury,  late  his 
minister,  of  Dedham,  and  Rev.  Dr.  Henry  Preserved  Smith,  Biblical 
scholar.  At  the  end  of  his  second  year  in  college  he  secured  a  school 
at  Barre,  Vt.,  where  he  taught  for  a  year.  He  then  entered  the  Law 
School  of  the  University  of  Albany,  N.  Y.,  where  he  was  graduated 
in  May  1870  with  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Laws.  In  1894  Amherst 
College  conferred  on  him  the  honorary  degree  of  Master  of  Arts. 

Soon  after  his  admission  to  the  bar  of  the  State  of  New  York  in 
1870,  he  retiuned  to  Medway  and  became  a  student  in  the  office  of 
Charles  H.  Deans.  Following  Mr.  Deans's  advice,  he  came  to  Ded- 
VOL.  Lxvni.        14 


212  Dan  Cfleasan  HiU  [July 

ham,  and  in  June  1871  entered  as  a  student  the  office  of  Waldo 
Colbum.  On  25  September  1871  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of 
Norfolk  County.  When  Mr.  Colbum  was  appointed  a  justice  of 
the  Superior  Court  in  June  1875,  Mr.  Hill  took  up  a  large  part  of  his 
practice.  He  early  gave  special  attention  to  probate  law  and  con- 
veyancing, and  foimd  in  these  branches  of  the  law  his  life  work, 
becoming  a  leading  authority  in  such  matters.  With  the  exception 
of  a  few  years  following  October  1875,  when  another  student  of  Judge 
Colbum's,  Mr.  Charles  A.  Mackintosh,  became  his  partner,  Mr.  HiU 
practised  his  profession  alone. 

While  his  vocation  was  his  absorbing  interest,  he  found  time  for 
other  efforts  in  the  service,  directly  or  indirectly,  of  the  town  of 
Dedham.  He  was  town  clerk,  with  the  exception  of  a  few  weeks, 
from  March  1880  to  March  1912,  when  he  retired  on  account  of  ill 
health.  In  this  position  he  held  during  the  whole  term  the  confidence 
and  esteem  of  his  townspeople;  and  his  interest  in  the  details  of 
the  work  was  great.  He  urged  extreme  care  in  the  recording  of 
names  and  dates  in  the  vital  records,  and  called  on  local  registrars  to 
co5perate  with  the  secretary  of  state  in  this  important  matter.  He 
was  one  of  the  pioneers  in  the  printing  of  the  town  records;  and  in 
his  report  issued  in  February  1885  he  urged  the  town  of  Dedham  to 
print,  because  its  records  '^  contain  so  much  that  is  of  priceless  value, 
only  one  copy  exists,  and  once  lost  can  never  be  restored."  The 
town  carried  out  his  recommendation  each  year  until  the  work  which 
he  had  planned  was  accomplished.  Eight  volumes  were  published 
in  this  way,  five  of  vital  records,  from  1635  to  1890,  and  three  of 
town  records,  from  1636  to  1706. 

Mr.  Hill  was  a  selectman  from  1882  to  1886,  and  from  1888  to  189L 
In  1884,  under  a  new  law  passed  that  year,  the  town  clerk  became 
ex  officio  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Registrars  of  Voters,  with  two 
other  members  appointed  by  the  Selectmen.  He  remained  in  this 
position  for  several  years.  He  was  elected  a  member  of  the  school 
committee  in  March  1899,  and  his  death  occurred  just  before  his 
fifteenth  year  of  service  was  completed.  In  1888  he  was  a  candidate 
for  the  position  of  county  commissioner  of  Norfolk  County,  and  came 
within  twelve  votes  of  election.  His  service  to  the  town  was  remark- 
able, for  he  filled  in  long  periods  all  of  the  principal  offices  in  its  gift, 
so  that  his  experience  and  advice  were  valuable  assets  to  the  town. 

With  some  of  the  business  interests  also  of  Dedham,  Mr.  Hill  was 
closely  connected.  The  Dedham  Institution  for  Savings  owed  much 
to  his  legal  services  for  nearly  forty  years.  In '1875  he  succeeded 
Judge  Waldo  Colbum  as  its  attorney,  since  1883  he  served  as  one  of 
its  trustees,  and  for  many  years,  until  his  death,  he  was  on  its  im- 
portant Committee  of  Investment.  He  served  as  attorney  for  other 
banks  also.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  the  senior  director  of  the 
Dedham  Mutual  Fire  Insurance  Company,  a  position  to  which  he 
had  been  first  chosen  in  1886,  and  during  this  period  he  served  for 
many  years  as  its  auditor. 

In  September  1880  Mr.  Hill  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Dedham 
Historical  Society,  and  all  its  interests  were  most  congenial  to  him. 
He  entered  its  service  with  enthusiasm,  and  with  a  devotion  which 


1914]  Don  Gleasan  HiU  213 

made  him  the  motive  power  of  its  later  success.  The  Society  since 
its  begimiing  in  1859  had  gone  on  in  the  quiet  tenor  of  its  way,  and 
continued  to  hold  meetings  in  the  rooms  of  the  county  commissioners 
in  the  court  house  until  1887.  Meantime,  in  1886,  Mr.  Hill  announced 
to  the  Society  "the  munificent  gifts  of  Hannah  Shuttleworth"  of  her 
homestead,  with  the  sum  of  ten  thousand  dollars,  to  be  used  in  the 
erection  of  a  building  for  the  Society  on  its  site.  Mr.  Hill  was  in- 
strumental in  bringing  about  this  happy  result  and  also  in  raising  an 
additional  sum  of  fifteen  hundred  dollars  by  subscription,  which 
enabled  the  society  to  erect  its  fire-proof  building,  completed  in 
December  1887.  The  new  building  was  opened  with  a  notable 
exhibition  of  historical  relics  on  25  January  1888;  and  at  the  annual 
meeting  in  March  following  Mr.  Hill  was  elected  president.  For 
six  years  previously  he  had  held  the  positions  of  historiographer, 
chronicler,  and  curator  of  the  Society. 

The  Society's  collection  of  volumes,  then  inherited  from  the  day 
of  small  things,  became  the  nucleus  of  a  steadily  growing  library, 
which  in  a  few  years,  owing  to  Mr.  Hill's  personal  efforts,  proved  of 
great  value  for  reference  as  well  as  large  in  numbers.  He  spent  hours 
from  day  to  day,  outside  of  his  pressing  business,  in  following  up  the 
necessary  details  in  this  labor  of  love.  The  Society  has  spread  upon 
its  records  a  grateful  recognition  of  what  he  did  in  securing  its  build- 
ing, the  library,  and  the  collection  of  interesting  relics,  and  in  keeping 
the  standard  of  its  work  up  to  the  highest  usefulness.  During  the 
fourteen  years  of  The  Dedham  Historical  Register,  from  1890  to  1903, 
he  gave  the  editor,  in  his  personal  undertaking,  most  encouraging 
and  loyal  support.  The  quarterly  was  published  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Society,  and  Mr.  Hill  occasionally  contributed  to  it  articles  of 
value. 

Mr.  Hill  took  the  initiative  in  preparing  for  and  suggesting  to  the 
town  the  important  steps  to  be  taken  in  the  celebration  of  the  two 
hundred  and  fiftieth  anniversary  of  its  incorporation.  In  connection 
with  this  event  of  1886  he  was  one  of  the  Committee  on  Historic 
Tablets  and  Moniunents,  and*  did  efficient  service,  not  only  in  erect- 
ing memorials  to  mark  places  and  objects  of  historic  interest  but  in 
doing  his  part  in  making  the  full  and  exhaustive  report  of  the  Com- 
mittee which  is  printed  in  the  "Proceedings  at  the  Celebration." 
The  knowledge  which  Mr.  Hill  had  gained  as  a  student  of  the  history 
of  the  town  and  of  the  church  and  from  his  professional  work  was  of 
invaluable  service  on  that  occasion,  and  on  the  two  hundred  and 
fiftieth  smniversary  of  the  church. 

The  townspeople  of  Dedham  will  ever  hold  his  name  in  grateful 
remembrance  for  his  interest  in  the  other  bequests  of  Miss  Hannah 
Shuttleworth  —  ten  thousand  dollars  to  the  Dedham  Public  Library, 
which  made  available  for  a  library  building  another  legacy  of  an  equal 
amount,  and  the  residue  of  her  estate,  amounting  to  thirty  thousand 
dollars,  to  the  town  of  Dedham,  the  income  to  be  used  to  fiunish 
pecuniary  aid  and  employment  to  the  worthy  poor  of  the  town. 
Mr.  Hill  was  made  chairman  of  the  first  committee  of  the  town  to 
take  charge  of  this  fund,  in  1888,  and  continued  in  the  position  until 
his  death.    The  bequest  to  the  Public  Library  enabled  the  trustees 


214  Don  Gleasan  HiU  [July 

to  build  a  substantial  and  beautiful  stone  building.  Mr.  Hill  was 
chosen  a  trustee  in  March  1887,  and  held  the  position  until  March 
1906,  serving  as  clerk  during  a  part  of  this  time. 

Mr.  Hill's  time  and  thought  were  largely  given  to  matters  of  local 
interest,  and  this  fact,  combined  with  a  natural  shrinking  from 
publicity,  prevented  him  from  giving  to  many  of  the  societies  outside 
which  sought  his  membership  the  benefit  of  his  legal  and  historic^ 
knowledge.  But  he  took,  however,  an  active  part  as  a  member  <rf 
the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  to  which  he  was 
admitted  in  1881 ;  he  was  a  member  of  its  Council  from  1  June  1892 
to  1896,  of  its  Committee  on  Memorials  for  the  years  1900-1902,  and 
of  its  Committee  on  Publications  for  the  years  1900-1910;  and  be 
was  deeply  interested  in  its  objects  and  welfare.  He  was  also  a 
member  of  the  American  Historical  Association,  the  American 
Antiquarian  Society,  and  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  and 
highly  prized  his  membership  in  each  of  these  societies.  . 

The  pressure  of  his  busy  professional  life  idso  prevented  him  from 
devoting  much  time  to  fimshed  literary  work.  Besides  his  occasional 
addresses  to  the  Dedham  Historical  Society  he  gave  the  address  on 
17  June  1898,  at  the  unveiling  of  the  bronze  tablet,  placed  on  a 
boulder  erected  on  the  Church  Green  by  the  Commonwealth  of 
Massachusetts,  to  commemorate  the  establishment  by  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Dedham  in  town  meeting  assembled,  on  1  January  1644/5, 
of  a  free  public  school  to  be  maintained  by  general  taxation.  He 
also  prepared  for  The  National  Maganne  of  June  1892  a  valuable 
illustrated  article  on  ''The  Record  of  a  New  England  Town  from 
the  Passage  of  the  Stamp  Act  to  the  Declaration  of  Independence, 
1766-1776." 

Mr.  Hill's  recreation  from  the  stress  of  his  active  life  was  his  great 
interest  in  books,  both  as  a  reader  and  as  a  collector.  His  library  of 
several  thousand  volumes  comprised  works  relating  to  the  Bible  and 
religion,  the  drama,  American  History,  travel,  and  art,  and  was  rich 
in  books  for  children's  reading,  in  poetry  —  especially  of  the  earlier 
English  poets,  and  in  books  of  reference.  Saturdays  found  him  in 
the  bookshops  of  Boston  on  his  interesting  search  for  books,  and  the 
fascination  of  the  quest  was  all-absorbing  to  him.  Diuing  his  last 
protracted  illness,  when  he  was  incapacitated  from  doing  any  physical 
Jabor,  he  busied  himself,  quietly  and  with  the  assistance  of  members 
of  his  family,  in  making  an  illustrated  catalogue  of  his  library,  in  four 
volumes;  and  this  work  was  his  chief  pleasure. 

His  life  in  Dedham  was  inseparably  connected  with  the  Ortho* 
dox  Congr^ational  Church,  of  which  he  was  long  a  member,  and  a 
deacon  from  1898  to  1912.  He  was  closely  connected  with  its  inters 
ests  and  devoted  to  its  welfare,  giving  much  of  his  valuable  time  in 
its  service. 

Mr.  Hill  married,  26  December  1876,  Carrie  Louisa  Luce,  daughter 
of  David  Wing  and  Caroline  Elizabeth  Luce  of  Dedham.  He  is  sur- 
vived by  his  widow  and  six  children,  Carrie  FVances,  Helen  Florence, 
Don  Gleason,  Jr.,  Maria  Louisa,  Alice  Laura,  and  George.  Mr. 
Hill's  brother,  William  Francis,  and  his  son,  Don  Gleason,  Jr.,  occupy 
his  oflSce  and  continue  his  practice. 


1914]  DarAester  First  Church  Baptisms  215 


BAPTISMS  IN  THE  FIRST  CHURCH 
AT  DORCHESTER,  MASS.,  1748-1792 

Communicated  by  'Edoab  Yatbs,  A.B.,  of  Boston,  Mass. 

The  church  records  of  baptisms  of  the  First  Church  at  Dorchester, 
Mass.,  from  1730  to  1814  have  long  been  missing.  This  period  in- 
cludes the  pastorates  of  Rev.  Jonathan  Bowman  (1729-1773)  and 
Rev.  Moses  Everett  (1774-1793)  and  the  first  half  of  the  pastorate 
of  Rev.  Thaddeus  Mason  Harris  (1793-1836).  When  Mr.  Bowman's 
pastorate  came  to  an  end,  he  retained  the  church  records  which  were 
in  his  possession,  although  the  Church  demanded  them  of  him.  The 
book  containing  the  record  of  deaths  during  his  ministry  was  recov- 
ered, but  the  other  records  were  never  given  back  to  the  Church  — 
"a  serious  loss  to  the  town,"  says  the  History  of  Dorchester  (p.  330).  . 
The  book  containing  the  record  of  baptisms  from  1774  to  1814  was 
mislaid  by  Dr.  Harris  in  later  years,  according  to  parish  tradition. 

In  the  old  Ebenezer  Clapp  house  in  Dorchester,  recently,  Mr. 
Edward  Albert  Huebener,  an  enthusiastic  local  antiquary,  discovered 
under  the  attic  eaves,  behind  a  plastered  wall,  a  small  wooden  trunk. 
In  this  little  trunk  were  manuscript  books  and  papers  of  evident  age. 
One  of  them  was  a  home-made  book,  6  by  7j^  inches,  with  these 
words  written  on  the  cover:  "Record  of  Baptisms  /  from  /  1748  to 
1792." 

This  book  of  110  pages  appears  to  be  a  private  record  of  Dorches- 
ter First  Church  baptisms,  begun  by  Samuel*  Withington,  Jr.  {Sam- 
ud,*  John,*  Richard^),  and  kept  by  hun  or  some  member  of  his  family. 
The  penmanship  is  so  excellent  as  to  leave  no  question  as  to  the 
spelling  of  each  name.  The  pages  used  are  ruled  vertically  into  four 
columns.  The  pages  are  not  numbered,  but  in  the  printed  copy  the 
pages  of  the  original  are  indicated  by  numerals  enclosed  in  brackets. 
The  book  apparently  had  at  one  time  a  wall-paper  cover,  but  only 
the  right-htmd  half  of  this  now  remains,  and  a  dark  brown  paper  cover 
has  been  added. 

The  period  covered  by  this  private  record  is,  in  years,  more  than 
half  of  that  for  which  the  church  records  are  missing.

persons  who  were  obviously  Americans.  They  consist  of  seventeen 
entries  from  Book  1,  which  begins  in  1802,  and  three  entries  from 
Book  2,  and  they  are  given  in  chronological  order.  The  inscriptions

Fbom  Chancbbt  Pbocbedinos 

On  21  June  1607  Roger  Golding  complains  that  about  ten  years  sinee 
John  Pannenter,  late  of  Sudbury,  deceased,  made  a  will  by  which  he  appointed 
the  complainant  and  one  John  Pannenter  executors  of  his  estate  of  some 
£800,  with  luids  in  Sudbury,  Tilbury,  Little  Yeldham,  etc.,  and  (tied  about 
two  years  since.  By  said  will  testator  left  his  estate  to  the  wife  of  the  com* 
plainBknt  and  her  children  and  to  others  of  his  kindred  and  friends.  Bui 
one  William  Parminter  has  seciu^  for  himself  administration  on  the  said 
estate,  and  in  confederacy  with  John  Parminter  has  seized  and  embeuled 
the  estate  of  the  deceased,  and  has  not  distributed  it  acc<Hxting  to  the  bitter's 
wiU. 

William  Pannenter,  one  of  the  defendants,  brother  and  administrator  of 
the  late  John  Parmenter  of  Sudbury,  maltster,  replies  that  as  complainant 
sues  as  one  of  the  executors  of  a  pretended  will  of  dec^ised,  said  complainant 
should  be  joined  as  complainant  with  John  Panninter,  the  other  executor 
of  the  pretended  will,  and  should  not  make  the  latter  a  defendant.  This 
defendant  knows  nothing  of  any  will  made  ten  years  ago,  but  has  heard  the 
other  defendant.  John  Parminter,  say  that  about  ^  Elizabeth  [158&-6] 
deceased  did  make  a  will  appointing  complainant  and  said  defendant,  John 
Panninter,  as  executors,  and  the  said  complainant  did  show  this  defendant 
a  copy  of  the  same  and  said  that  he  intended  to  sue  this  defendant  in  the 
ecclesiastical  courts,  but  he  has  not  done  so,  and  defendant  doubts  if  such  a 
will  existed,  as  two  years  after  the  time  of  said  pretended  will  said  deceased 
loaned  complainant  over  £40,  which  he  would  not  have  done  had  he  made 
him  executor  of  his  estate.  And  moreover  this  defendant  can  prove  by 
witnesses  that  on  24  September  1603  the  deceased  stated  that  one  William 
Parmiter.  son  of  this  defendant,  should  have  all  the  estate  of  deceased.  Go 
the  deaUi  of  said  deceased  this  defendant,  believing  that  deceased  died 
intestate,  did  sue  forth  administration  on  his  estate  in  the  Prerogative  Ckmrt 
of  Canterbury  (deceased  having  estate  in  divers  dioceses),  which  was  granted 
to  this  defendant  19  Septemdber  1605.  Deceased  died  24  August  1606, 
possessed  of  an  estate  much  smaller  than  is  claimed  by  the  complainant; 
and  with  the  consent  of  John  Parmiter  and  of  Thomas  Smith  and  of  £ditb 
his  wife,  sister  of  the  deceased,  this  defendant  had  the  estate  appraised, 
which  amounted  to  £200.  12s.  The  debts  of  the  deceased  were  £47.  7&.  4d. 
The  defendant,  John  Parmiter,  received  as  his  share  a!  the  estate  £43.  la.  6d., 
and  said  Smith  and  Edith  his  wife  about  £40.  The  costs  of  administration 
were  £23.  16s.  8d.  The  house  in  Sudbury  caUed  "The  Gallerye"  was  the 
freehold  of  the  said  John  Parminter,  deceased,  who  with  one  Peregrine 
Paricer,  gent.,  did  purchase  the  same  in  fee  simple  of  one  Peter  Whyte  on 
6  June,  35  Elixabeth  [1593],  and  on  the  death  of  the  said  Parker  said  John 
Parminter  had  the  whole  as  survivor  in  fee  simple,  and,  he  dying  without 
issue,  it  came  to  this  defendant  as  his  brother  and  next  heb.  Defendant 
denies  any  con^iracy  with  the  other  defendant,  John  Panninter. 

The  other  d^endant,  John  Parminter,  replies  that  he  thinks  that  John 
Farmint^,  deceased,  made  a  will  about  28  Elixabeth  [1585-6],  but  knows 
not  if  it  ranained  in  existence  until  his  death.  Lately  ccnnplainant  sent  his 
son  to  this  def aidant  to  show  to  this  defendant  a  copy  of  saui  will,  by  which 
deceased  left  to  his  brother  William  Panninter,  the  other  defendant,  for  life, 
lands,  etc.,  in  Little  Yeldham,  with  reversion  to  Henry  Panninter,  saio 
William's  son,  and  left  to  this  defendant,  another  brother,  fen*  life,  lands  in 
Little  Yeldham,  Tilbury,  etc.,  with  reversion  to  John  Parminter,  this  de- 
fendant's BOO.    Also  he  left  to  the  said  William  £20  and  to  his  children

68.  8d.  apiece,  to  this  defendant  £20  and  to  his  children  68.  8d.  apiece,  to  the 
three  children  of  Thomas  Smith  of  Little  Maplestead  40s.  apiece,  to  Jone, 
wife  of  this  defendant,  cloth  for  a  gown,  to  the  complainant  £5  and  three 
guns,  to  the  wife  of  the  complainant  (who  died  long  before  the  testator)  208., 
and  to  Thomas  Golding  208.  This  defendant  prays  that  the  complainant  be 
required  to  bring  the  original  will  into  court,  as  according  to  said  will  the 
testator  left  certain  lands  to  this  defendant  and  his  children,  which  have  been 
taken  by  the  other  defendant  as  eldest  brother  and  heir.  Deceased  died 
about  two  years  ago  and  about  nineteen  years  after  making  said  will.  Com- 
plainant has  long  concealed  the  will  for  some  sinister  purpose,  and  as  this 
defendant  was  imable  to  find  any  will  of  deceased,  the  other  defendant 
obtained  administration  on  the  estate,  and  this  defendant  has  received  one 
third  of  the  goods,  according  to  the  inventory  in  the  Prerogative  Court  of 
Canterbury.  This  defendant  denies  any  conspiracy  with  the  other  defend- 
ant, William  Parminter.  (Chancery  Proceedings,  James  I,  Bundle  0-8, 
No.  43.) 

[From  the  foregoing  records  and  from  some  other  sources  the  following 
information  about  the  Parmenter  families  of  Little  Yeldham,  co.  Essex,  and 
about  the  ancestry  of  Dea.  John  Parmenter  of  Sudbury  and  Roxbury,  Mass., 
has  been  derived: 

William  Parmenter,  Sr.,  bom  probably  about  1465,  appears,  with 
other  Parmenters,  at  Little  Yeldham,  co.  Essex,  in  the  subsidy  of  1523-4. 

John  Parmenter,  Sr.,  George  Parbientbr,  Sr.,  Richard  Parmenter, 
Thomas  Parmenter,  and  Nicholas  Parmenter  appear  at  Little  Yeldham 
in  the  subsidy  of  1542-1544.  They  belong  apparently  to  the  generation 
immediatelv  following  that  to  which  William  Parmenter,  Sr.,  belongs.  No 
wills  have  been  found  which  throw  light  on  the  exact  relationship  of  these 
men  to  one  another  or  on  their  respective  families;  but  doubtless  the  fathers 
of  some  of  the  Parmenters  of  the  next  generation  are  included  in  this  list  of 
names. 

These  men  of  the  next  generation  are  John  Parmenter,  bom  probably 
about  1515,  and  probably  uie  progenitor  of  Family  A,  given  below;  George 
Parmenter,  bom  probably  about  1520,  progenitor  of  Family  B,  given  below; 
Richard  Parmenter. of  Little  Yeldhain,  who  appears  in  the  subsidy  of 
1665-6;  and  Robert  Parmenter,  bom  probably  about  1530,  progenitor 
of  Family  C,  given  below. 

Family  A 

1.  John  Parmenter.  of  Little  Yeldham,  co.  Essex,  bom  probably  about 
1515,  appears  as  John  Parmenter,  Jr.,  at  Little  Yeldham  in  the  subsidy  of 
1542-1544,  and  is  found  later  in  the  adjoining  parish  of  Tilbuiy-by-Clare, 
CO.  Essex,  in  the  subsidies  of  1565-6  and  1571-2. 

The  following  were  probably  his  children: 
i.  John,  settled  in  Sudbury,  co.  Suffolk,  where  he  was  a  brewer  or 
maltster,  and  d.  24  Aug.  1605.  leavmg  no  issue.  He  «^PP®*"i5'

his  brother  George,  which  he  mentioned  in  his  own  mil,  dated  12  Oct. 
1613  and  proved  19  Jan.  1617/18.  As  only  two  of  his  children  were 
baptized  at  little  Yeldham,  it  is  likely  that  at  some  period  he  resided 
elsewhere;  and  therefore  he  was  probably  the  William  Pannenter 
who  was  assessed  in  the  subsidy  of  1596-7  in  the  adjacent  parish 
of  Sible  Hedingham,  the  roisters  of  which  prior  to  1680  are  lost.

his  elder  brother  Robert  is  recorded  at  little  Yeldham  23  0<^.  1586,

been  bom  at  Sible  Hedingham,  co.  Essex,  but  the  early  registers  of 
this  parish  are  lost.  He  inherited  no  lands  from  his  father,  and  after 
the  tatter's  death  he  evidently  removed  about  eight  miles  mmi  liUle 
Yeldham  into  Bures  St.  Mary.  Here  his  sister  Sarah  was  married.

THE  PAINTER  FAMILY 

WITH 

NOTES  ON  THE  LAMBERTON  FAMILY 
By  Donald  Linvs  Jacobus,  MJl.,  of  New  Haven,  Conn. 

1.  Thomas^  Painter  lived  at  Hingbam,  Charlestown,  and  Rowley, 
Mass.,  between  1637  and  1644.  In  1655  he  was  made  freeman  of 
Newport,  R.  I.,  and  spent  the  remainder  of  his  life  there  and  at 
Westerly,  R.  I.,  where  his  name  appears,  together  with  that  of  his 
son  Shubael,  on  the  list  of  freemen.    He  married  first  Katharinb 

,  who  died  in  1641 ;  and  secondly .    Winthrop  tells  us 

in  his  History  (vol.  2,  p.  174),  under  date  of  1644:  "A  poor  man  of 
Hingham,  one  Painter,  who  had  lived  at  New  Haven  and  at  Rowley 
and  Charlestown,  and  been  scandalous  and  burdensome  by  his  idle 
and  troublesome  behaviour  to  them  all,  was  now  on  the  sudden 
turned  anabaptist,  and  having  a  child  bom,  he  would  not  suffer  his 
wife  to  bring  it  to  the  ordinance  of  baptism,  for  she  was  a  member  of 
the  church,  though  himself  were  not.  Being  presented  for  this,  and 
enjoined  to  suffer  the  child  to  be  baptized,  he  still  refusing,  and  dis- 
turbing the  church,  he  was  again  brought  to  the  court  not  only  for 
his  former  contempt,  but  also  for  saying  that  our  baptism  was  anti- 
christian;  and  in  the  open  court  he  affirmed  the  same."  For  this  he 
was  whipped,  and  "endured  his  punishment  with  much  obstinacy, 
and  when  he  was  loosed,  he  said  boastingly,  that  God  had  marvellously 
assisted  him." 

Children  by  first  wife: 

i.       Elizabeth.'  d.  in  Boston  24  Apr.  1640. 
ii.      WuxiAii,  d.  in  Boston  30  Sept.  1639. 

2.  liL     Shubael. 

iv.     Thomas,  b.  4  May  1639;  d.  in  Boston  30  Sept.  1639. 
T.      Thomas,  bapt.  in  Boston  13  Sept.  1640;  probably  the  man  of  this 
name  who  was  drowned  25  Mar.  1705. 

2.  Shxtbael*  Painter  {Thomoff)  resided  at  Westerly  and  Newport, 
R.  I.*  He  married  Mebct  Lambebton,  who  was  baptized 
17  Jan.  1640/1  and  died  evidently  before  1677,  daughter  of 
Capt.  George  and  Margaret  (Lewen)  of  New  Haven. 

He  was  deputy,  1670-1672,    On  12  May  1679  he  was  tried 
for  contempt  of  authority,  owned  himself  guilty,  and  was 

*1hie  reoords  at  Newport  were  searched  by  Mr.  John  C.  Pearson  of  CleTeland, 
Ohio,  to  whom  acknowledgment  is  hereby  made  for  information  about  Shubael  Painter.

fined  and  bound  to  peace  and  good  behavior.  On  10  May 
1680  ''An  Indictment  by  the  Atomy  Genii  agnst  Shuball 
panter  of  Newport  for  Indeavoring  Contrary  to  law  to  publish 
Marriage  in  two  publick  meetings  about  the  month  of  March 
last  in  the  Yeare  1679  :  80  unto  Hannah  the  wife  of  Thomas 
Martin,  and  for  keeping  Company  with  said  Hannah  after 
being  forbiden  &  forwamed  by  Authorety  he  being  bound  to 
this  Court  and  in  Court  Called,  Appeared  pleads  not  guilty 
and  Refers  himselfe  for  Tryall  to  God  and  the  Cuntry  The 
Jurry  Verdict  Guilty:  By  the  court  Comitted  to  the  Genii 
serjts  Custody  till  called  for.  The  Sentence  of  the  Court  is 
That  Shubal  painter  either  be  sett  in  the  stockes  for  a  six 
howers  time  or  pay  twenty  shillings  to  the  Crenl  Treasury  in 
mony  betwixt  this  &  Next  Thursday  twelve  of  the  clock  and 
that  his  bond  be  continued  while  next  court  and  alsoe  pay 
officers  fees."  (R.  I.  Court  of  Trials,  vol.  A,  p.  51.)  He  was  in- 
dicted, 27  Mar.  1683,  for  living  with  Hannah,  the  wife  of  Thorn. 
Martin,  contrary  to  law,  was  found  guilty,  and  was  sentenced 
to  forfeit  bonds  and  pay  fee.  As  Shubael's  wife  Mercy  was 
then  dead  and  as  he  "published  marriage"  with  Mrs.  Martin, 
it  seems  probable  that  her  husband  had  deserted  or  divorced  her, 
and  that  only  some  legal  quibble  stood  in  the  way  of  her 
remarrit^e.  On  27  Mar.  1683  he  was  also  prosecuted  by 
John  Williams  for  "takeing  Sheep  ffeloniously";  and  he  im» 
mediately  commenced  action  agidnst  said  John  for  "Sclaimder 
and  Defamation."  He  was  acquitted  on  the  sheep  chaige, 
and  was  awarded  £3  damages  and  costs  of  court  on  his  counter 
suit.  The  case  was  referred  to  the  next  Assembly  because 
Shubael  was  absent,  being  employed  about  the  country's  ser- 
vice.   In  1688  he  was  appointed  constable. 

In  1677  he  sold  to  his  brother-in-law,  William  Trowbridge, 
th^  share  of  the  Lamberton  estate  to  which  his  wife  Mercy  was 
heir;  but  in  1685  the  sale  was  declared  void,  and  the  lands  were 
resold  to  Samuel  Smith.  Probably  it  was  held  that  this  sale 
did  not  include  undivided  lands,  for  Shubael's  son  Thomas 
and  daughter  Margaret  both  disposed  of  land  inherited  from 
George  Lamberton.  Hia  daughter  Mercy  seems  never  to 
have  possessed  any  of  this  property;  at  least  she  did  not  assign 
her  right  in  any  deed  on  reconl  at  New  Haven.  An  abstract 
of  the  Lamberton  deeds  is  given  in  the  Notes  on  the  Lamb^- 
ton  Family,  infra,  pp.  284,  285.

perhaps  a  son  of  Capt.  Richard  of  Newport;  married  secondW,  as 
his  third  wife,  Lawrence  Cunton;  and  thirdly  Jeremiah  Mott, 
who  was  admitted  an  inhabitant  of  Westerly  in  1699.  With  her 
third  husband  she  removed,  prior  to  1742,  to  Wallingford,  Conn. 
On  11  Aug.  1742,  Richard  Morriss  of  Milford  gave  bond  of  £500 
to  the  selectmen  of  Wallin^ord  to  be  paid  before  June  1747,  "the 
condition  being  that  if  he  mdemnifee  and  save  harmless  the  said 
town  of  Wallu^ord  upon  the  account  of  Margrett  Mott  of  Wal- 
lingford, wife  ofJeremudi  Mott  of  Wallingford,  then  sd  obligation 
to  be  void."  (WalUng^ord  Deeds,  vol.  11,  p.  601.)  On  29  Sept. 
1743  J^^miah  Mott  and  Msurgaret  Mott  of  Wallingford  conveyed 
to  George  Clinton  of  New  Haven  one  fourth  of  one  sixth  of  the  lands 
of  George  Lamberton,  deceased.  (New  Haven  Deeds,  vol.  12, 
p.  184.)    Margaret  Mott  could  not  have  been  in  possession  of  this 

Eortion  of  the  Lamb^ton  farm,  unless  Mercy  Lamberton  were 
er  mother,  as  a  careful  study  of  the  deeds  will  show  (vide  infra, 
pp.  284,  ^5) ;  and  for  this  reason  she  is  ^ven  here  as  a  daughter 
of  Shubael  Painter.  There  is  a  mass  of  circumstantial  evidence  to 
prove  ^t  she  was  mother,  by  her  first  husband,  of  Richard 
Morris;  and,  by  her  second  husband,  of  George  Clinton  and  his 
brothers.  Child  by  first  husband:*  1.  Richard,  d.  at  Milford.

Jfme  minquished  her  right  of  dower.  (Newport  Deeds,  vol.  2,

1  Sept.  1781.  He  married,  23  June  1725,  Mart  Smith,  bom 
7  Mar.  1706/7,  died  at  the  home  of  her  son  in  Roxbury,  Conn., 
29  May  1786,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Mary  (Cooper)  and 
granddaughter  of  Samuel  and  Obedience  (Lamberton). 

The  aged  deacon  met  a  tragic  end  near  the  close  of  the 
Revolutionary  War.  On  the  night  of  1  Sept.  1781  three 
British  vessels  landed  one  hundred  and  fifty  men  at  West 
Haven,  Conn.,  who,  having  secured  the  eleven  sentinels, 
collected  cattle  and  other  plunder.  They  returned  to  their 
vessels  without  discovery,  taking  with  them  their  booty,  two 
of  the  sentinels,  and  Deliverance  Painter  and  his  brother-in- 
law,  Capt.  John  Catlin.  The  boat  carrying  the  four  patriots 
capsized  near  Stratford  Point,  and  Painter  and  the  two  sen- 
tinels were  drowned,  Catlin  alone  escaping.  The  Painter 
home,  now  known  as  the  James  Reynolds  house,  had  been 
ransacked,  and  the  son,  Lamberton  Painter,  evaded  capture 
only  by  hiding  under  tobacco  leaves  in  the  garret.  Five  of 
Deliverance's  children  died  young,  and  their  epitaph  in  the 
West  Haven  cemetery  reminds  one  of  Wordsworth's  "We  are 
Seven."

Middlebury,  Vt.,  21  May  1819.  He  married  first  Abigail 
Chipman,  who  died  21  Apr.  1790,  aged  40,  daughter  of  John;

his  brother-in-law,  John  Chipman,  were  among  the  first 
settlers  of  Middlebury,  Vt.,  although  they  are  not  on  the  list

years  old.  On  23  Sept.  1773  200  acres  of  land  in  Middlebury 
were  laid  out  for  Gamaliel  Painter,  who  was  already  living 
in  his  house  on  that  land.  The  settlers  of  Middlebury,  Vt., 
came  chiefly  from  Salisbury,  Conn.,  and  the  name  of  the 
Connecticut  town  was  given  to  the  Vermont  town  which  lies 
next  south  of  Middlebiuy  and  which  was  chartered  3  Nov. 
1761.  In  1777  Gamaliel  Painter  was  a  member  of  the  con- 
vention that  framed  the  constitution  of  Vermont,  and  he 
served  as  a  captain  in  the  Revolutionary  War.  When  Biu*- 
goyne  marched  southward  in  1777,  Gamaliel  Painter  was 
obliged  to  withdraw  with  his  family  from  Middlebury,  but 
in  1784  he  returned  with  his  family  to  that  town.  In  1784  the 
bounds  of  Salisbury,  Vt.,  were  moved  northward  so  that  170 
acres  of  Gamaliel  Painter's  land,  including  the  site  of  his  house, 
became  a  part  of  Salisbury;  and  on  20  Aug.  1787,  calling 
himself  of  Salisbury,  Addison  Co.,  Vt.,  he  conveyed  all  land 
given  to  him  by  the  last  will  of  his  father,  the  witnesses  being 
Joseph  and  Abigail  Painter  (tb.,  vol.  43,  p.  116).  He  acquired 
much  more  land  in  Middlebury,  removed  in  the  fall  of  1787 
to  Middlebury  village,  and  became  one  of  the  most  prominent 
citizens  of  the  town.  He  encouraged  the  coming  of  new 
settlers  by  selling  to  them  land  in  Middlebury;  he  served  for 
thirteen  years  in  the  Vermont  Legislat\u*e;  he  was  a  member 
of  the  Council;  and  was  sheriff  and  a  judge  of  the  County 
Court.  He  was  one  of  the  original  trustees  of  Middlebury 
College,  incorporated  in  1800,  and  in  his  will,  his  children  being 
dead,  he  left  all  his  estate,  except  an  annuity  for  his  widow,  to 
that  institution.  From  this  bequest  the  College  realized  about 
$13,000;  and  one  of  its  buildings,  erected  in  1814  and  ori^- 
nally  called  West  College,  received  in  remembrance  of  this 
benefaction  and  still  bears  the  name  of  Painter  Hall.  It  is 
the  oldest  college  building  now  standing  in  Vermont.  A  por- 
trait of  Gamaliel  Painter  may  be  found  in  Swift's  History  of 
Middlebury,  from  which  most  of  this  account  of  his  life  has 
been  taken.*

New  York  campaign  of  1776,  and  later  served  at  sea  on  the 
privateer  sloop  PoUy.  Taken  captive,  he  was  imprisoned  on 
the  prison  ship  Good  Hope  in  New  York  Harbor.  From  this 
he  escaped  by  swimming,  and  after  much  privation  reached 
the  Jersey  shore  in  safety.  He  continued  to  serve  at  sea 
through  the  greater  part  of  the  war,  until  he  was  ag^n  cap- 
tured and  immured  in  the  prison  ship  Old  Jersey.  He  was 
paroled,  and  the  close  of  the  war  made  his  release  permanent. 
In  1784  he  was  placed  in  command  of  the  sloop  Nancy,  and 
for  several  years  thereafter  followed  the  sea.  He  afterwards 
engaged  in  the  grocery  and  dry  goods  business,  and  was  able 
in  1829  to  retire  from  active  pursuits.

NOTES  ON  THE  LAMBERTON  FAMILY 

Capt.  Gborgb^  Lamberton,  one  of  the  merchant  gentlemen  who 
founded  the  Colony  of  New  Haven,  came  from  London.  He  is 
called  of  the  parish  of  St.  Mary's  Whitechapel  when,  on  6  Jan. 
1628/9,  he  married  Mabgabet  Lbwen  (Registeb,  vol.  61,  p.  189). 
Some  account  of  him  and  of  his  family  is  given  in  The  Converse 
Family,  1905,  vol.  2,  pp.  681  d  aeq.  He  was  lost  in  1646  on  board 
the  ''great  ship"  he  commanded,  whose  fate  is  the  theme  of  Long* 
fellow's  poem,  "The  Phantom  Ship."  In  the  following  year  his 
widow,  Margaret,  married  Deputy-Governor  Stephen  Goodyear. 

Erroneous  statements  have  been  made  concerning  his  family,  one 
being  that  Mary,  first  wife  of  Lieut.-Gov.  James  Bishop,  was  his 
daughter.  This  error  is  based  on  a  passage  from  the  trial  of  Mrs.  God- 
man  for  witchcraft  in  1653,  which  states  that  Mrs.  Godman  "hath 
much  inquired  upon  the  time  of  M™  Bishops  delivery  of  her  children, 
and  would  speake  of  it  so  M'^  Goodyeare  and  her  daughters  marveled 
how  she  could  know,  and  Hannah  Lamberton  one  time  told  her 
mother  that  M™  Godman  kept  her  sisters  count."  It  is  evident  that 
the  Mrs.  Bishop  of  the  record  was  sister  either  of  Hannah  Lamberton 
or  of  her  mother,  Margaret  (Lewen)  (Lamberton)  Goodyear,  but  she 
may  have  been  Patience,  ^nfe  of  Henry  Bishop  (brother  of  James), 
instead  of  Mary,  wife  of  James.  At  all  events,  it  is  certain  that 
Mary  Bishop  was  not  a  daughter  of  George  Lamberton,  as  she  left, 
surviving  issue  who  did  not  share  in  the  Lamberton  estate. 

On  20  Oct.  1658  "M»  Goodyeare  &  her  children  by  Mr.  Lamber- 
ton p'senting  themselves  before  the  coiui;,  she  desired  that  y* 
Portions  w^  remaine  vnpaid  dew  to  the  children,  might  be  set  out 
y  y*  Court,  vpon  which  p'position  it  was  demanded  of  Willm  Trow- 
bridge, y*  husband  to  Elizabeth  Lamberton,  what  he  had  received 
of  M'  (joodyeare.  .  •  .  Hannah  &  Hope  Lamberton,  being  at  age, 
were  appointed  to  receive  their  portions,  w**  they  desired  might  be 
delivered  to  their  mother.  .  .  •  Deliverance,  who  is  to  have  a  double 
portion,  &  Mercy,  Desire,  and  Obedience,  chose  their  mother  for 
their  guardian."

before  his  son's  marriage  with  her  daughter  that  he  did  signify  to

The  Descent  of  the  Lamberton  Farm 

The  correctness  of  the  account  gjven  above  of  George  Lamberton's  family 
is  proved  by  a  series  of  deeds  which  dispose  of  the  several  portions  of  the 
Lamberton  farm.  This  large  estate  of  over  260  acres  was,  after  Mrs.  Good- 
year's  death,  divided  between  the  six  Lamberton  girls.  As  there  are  some 
complexities,  abstracts  of  these  deeds  are  Kiven,  most  of  which  are  sdf* 
explanatory,  and  all  of  which  are  from  the  New  Haven  Land  Records: 

[Vol.  1,  p.  52]  ''I  Shuball  Painter  of  Newport  in  Rhode  Island  have  sold 
unto  my  Brother  in  law  William  Trowbridge  of  New  Haven  all  my  rights 
title  and  interest  which  I  have  in  a  farm  at  New  Haven  on  which  the  said 
William  Trowbridge  now  liveth."    Dated  4  May  1677. 

[Vol.  1,  p.  281]  "  I  William  Trowbridge  have  received  this  bill  of  my  Brother 
in  law  Shuball  Painter  which  said  Shuball  I  own  to  be  my  act  and  deed  upon 
consideration  that  we  the  above  written,  cannot  agree  about  the  price  and 
pay  I  the  said  William  do  declare  this  bill  of  sale  to  be  invaluable  .  .  .  and 
what  record  hath  been  made  upon  this  bill  or  any  other  shall  be  revoked." 
Dated  8  June  16S5;  recorded  20  July  1685  at  the  desire  of  Samuel  Smith. 

[Vol.  1,  p.  281]  Shuball  Painter  of  Newport,  R.  I.,  conveys  to  Samuel 
Smith  of  New  Haven  "all  my  right,  interest  and  title,  that  I  now  stand 
possessed  of,  or  hereafter  may  lawfully  accrue  or  descend  to  me  ...  in  the 
lands  of  Captain  George  Lamberton  deceased.''    Dated  9  July  1685. 

[Vol.  1,  p.  203]  Thomas  Cooper  and  Desyer  his  wife  of  Springfield,  Maas., 
convey  to  Samuell  Smith  of  New  Haven  "a  full  sixth  part  from  the  estate 
of  George  Lamberton  deceased."    Dated  30  Oct.  1685. 

[Vol.  1,  p.  349]  "Mr.  George  Lamberton's  farm  situate  on  the  west  ade 
of  New  Haven  luu'bor  ...  is  divided  unto  Captain  John  Ailing,  Mr.  WiUiam 
Trowbridge,  Samuell  Smith  and  Mrs.  Hope  Harbett  ...  by  virtue  of  their 
mutual  desire  and  agreement.''    Dated  22  Mar.  1685/6. 

[Vol.  1,  p.  367]  John  and  Hannah  All3ni  of  Hartford  convey  to  Thomas 
Trowbridge,  son  of  William  Trowbridge  of  New  Haven,  "the  hill  sixth  part 
of  Mr.  George  Lambertons  land  that  does  descend  to  the  said  Hannah  AUeo

as  her  portion  in  Mr.  George  Lamberton's  lands.  .  .  laid  out  or  not  laid 
out."    Dated  15  Dec.  1687. 

[Vol.  1,  p.  635]  Samuell  Smith  of  New  Haven  conveys  to  William  Johnson, 
senior,  with  the  consent  of  Thomas  Trowbridge,  Junior,  and  of  Mr.  William 
Cheney  of  Middletown  in  the  right  of  his  wife  Hope  Cheney,  the  daughter 
of  Mr.  Lamberton  some  time  of  New  Haven  deceased,  land  "sold  by  Mrs. 
Goodyear  our  mother  deceased,  to  said  Johnson."    Dated  20  Feb.  1692/3. 

[Vol.  1,  p.  564]  Mr.  William  Cheny,  husbandman,  with  Hope  his  wife, 
dwelling  in  Middletown,  conveys  to  William  Willmot,  shoemaker,  }  acre. 
Dated  27  Sept.  1692.  John  Clark,  now  resident  at  Middletown,  with 
Abigaile  his  wife,  the  eldest  daughter  and  only  surviving  child  of  the  above 
mentioned  Mrs.  Hope  Cheny,  relinquishes  all  right.    Dated  1  Nov.  1692. 

[Vol.  1,  p.  760]  William  Cheney  of  Middletown,  with  the  consent  of  Hope 
"my  present"  wife,  conveys  to  Thomas  Painter  of  New  Haven  about  40 
acres,  "formerly  Mr.  Lambertons."    Dated  26  May  1698. 

[Vol.  Ij  p.  816]  John  Clark  of  Middletown  and  Abigaill  Clark,  his  wife, 
enter  their  caution  against  any  further  record  of  the  lands  belonging  to  their 
mother,  Hope  Cheny,  formerly  Hope  Lamberton,  .which  did  formerly  be- 
long unto  Mr.  George  Lamberton,  lying  within  the  precincts  of  New  Haven, 
they  being  the  proper  heirs  of  said  land.    Dated  23  May  1700. 

[Vol.  10,  p.  398]  John  Williams  and  Abigail  his  wife,  Ambros  Clark,  Cheny 
Clark,  Edward  Jackson  and  Eunice  his  wife,  all  of  Middletown,  convey  to 
Samuel  Smith  of  West  Haven  all  right  to  Mr.  George  Lamberton's  third 
division  lot  in  New  Haven,  descendingto  them  from  the  estate  of  Mr.  George 
Lamberton,  excepting  the  farm  at  West  Haven  sold  to  Thomas  Painter. 
Dated  27  Feb.  1728/9. 

[Vol.  4,  p.  290]  Elizabeth  Trowbridge,  widow,  daughter  of  George  Lam- 
berton, deceased,  conveys  to  grandson  Caleb  Mallary  i  of  the  land  laid  out 
to  Mrs.  Goodyear,  widow  to  Mr.  George  Lambdrton,  deceased.  Dated 
19  May  1714. 

[Vol.  12,  p.  184]  Jeremiah  Mott  and  Margaret  Mott  of  Wallin^ord,  for 
£100,  convey  to  George  Clinton  of  New  Haven  "all  our  Right  Title  and 
Intrest  in  the  Estate  of  Geo|^e  Lamberton  of  New  Haven  aforesd  deed: 
being  one  fourth  part  of  sixth  part  of  all  sd  Lambertons  Lands  in  sd  New 
Haven  whether  divided  or  not  yet  divided."    Dated  29  Sept.  1743. 

From  the  Proprietors'  Records  (vol.  4,  p.  137)  we  learn  that  the  following 
claims  to  "half  division"  land  were  recorded  3  Apr.  1704:  "Thom>  Trow- 
bridge at  ye  West  side  }  of  M'  Lambertons  1"*  purchase  Right.  Thom» 
panter  i  of  Mr  Lambertons  1*^  purchase  Right.  L*  Sam^i  Smith  f  of  M' 
Lambertons  1  purchase  Right."  It  is  difficult  to  imderstand  how,  after 
Shubael  Painter  had  sold  all  his  rights  to  Samuel  Smith,  his  son  Thomas 
Painter  could  have  inherited  Lamberton  land;  but  it  is  certain  that  he  did. 
both  from  the  record  given  above  and  from  the  fact  that  he  later  sold  land 
which  he  inherited  from  his  mother.  Also  the  Margaret  Mott  who  appears 
in  the  deed  quoted  above  must  have  inherited  her  share  of  the  Lamberton 
lands  from  the  Painters,  as  all  the  other  branches  of  the  family  are  thoroughly 
accounted  for.  We  have  presented  the  facts,  and  must  be  content  to  leave 
this  and  other  perplexities  in  abeyance.

PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  NEW  ENGLAND  HISTORIC 
GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY 

By  John  Albrbb,  Recording  Secretary 

Boston,  MasaachuseUs,  1  April  1914.  A  stated  meeting  of  the  Societjr  was  held 
in  Wilder  Hall,  9  Ashburton  Place,  at  2.30  p.m.,  President  Baxter  presiding. 

The  minutes  of  the  March  meeting  were  approved,  and  the  reports  of  the 
Librarian,  Corresponding  Secretary,  Historian,  and  Council  were  accepted. 

Ten  resident  members  were  elected  by  ballot. 

On  motion  of  John  Albree  it  was 

VoUdj  That  a  committee  of  five  be  appointed  by  the  President  to  prepare  a 
draft  of  revised  by-laws  for  the  Society,  to  be  submitted  at  a  future  meeting. 

President  Baxter  appointed  as  memb^  of  this  committee  Charles  Sidney  EiiBign 
(Chairman),  Waldo  Lincoln,  John  Carroll  Chase,  James  Parker  Parmenter,  and 
William  Prescott  Greenlaw. 

George  Pierce  Baker,  Professor  of  Dramatic  Literature  at  Harvard  Umversity, 
spoke  on  The  Drama  and  American  History,  tracing  the  development  of  the 
American  drunatic  taste  as  shown  in  the  plays  that  have  appearecf  from  time  to 
time,  such  as  "A  Prince  of  Parthia,"  the  first  American  play,  remarkable  for  its 
dullness;  ''The  Conquest  of  Canada,''  given  but  twice  in  1773;  "Indoctum  Par- 
Uamentum,"  an  earlv  drama  of  social  life;  ''Marmion,"  which,  though  adi^)ted 
by  an  American,  yet  had  to  be  advertised  as  a  London  success  to  obtain  pofniluity : 
the  Indian  plays  once  popular;  and  the  many  later  plays  which  have  an  historical 
setting  but  in  which  the  lessons  of  history  are  overshadowed  by  the  interesting 
experiences  of  yoimg  lovers.  To-day,  according  to  the  speaker,  we  are  iust 
beginning  to  see  what  can  be  done  on  the  stage  with  the  portrayal  of  human  life, 
and  the  result  will  be  an  ideal  of  larger  citizenship  and  of  better  government. 

President  Baxter  spoke  of  the  enthusiasm  that  used  to  be  aroused  when  Forrest 
and  Proctor  recited  Uieir  lines  in  the  oki  plays. 


NOTES 

It  having  oome  to  the  attention  of  this  Society  that  oertain 
ffenealoffists  and  publishers  have  used  the  name  of  the  Society 
m  connection  with  their  own  enterprises,  the  Society  again  de- 
sires to  state  that  it  has  NO  genealogical  representatives  in  this 
country  or  in  England,  nor  is  it  in  any  way  connected  with  any 
publications  other  than  those  that  it  issues  over  its  own  name 
at  9  Ashburton  Place,  Boston. 

The  Committee  on  English  Research  desires  to  state,  however, 
that  although  the  Society  has  no  official  representative  in  Eng- 
land the  Committee  is  employing  Miss  French  for  a  part  of  her

Parbntaqb  op  Archibald  Spragus  of  Nswbxtrtport,  Mass.  —  Archibald 
Sprague,  called  "of  Providence,  R.  I.."  in  his  intention  of  marriage,  married  at 
NewDuryport,  Mass.,  4  July  1813,  Sarah,  daughter  of  William  and  Martha 
(Nowell)  Short  and  widow  of  Henry  Sullivan  Peny.  Their  son,  Rufus  William 
8pragu&  was  bom  15  Nov.  1820,  and  Rufus  William  Sprague,  Jr.,  son  of  this 
Rufus  William  Sprague,  was  bom  29  Aug.  1849. 

Archibald  Sprague  died  of  yellow  fever,  at  Mobile,  Ala.,  in  1840;  but  before 
his  death  he  gave  orally  to  his  son,  Rufus  William  Sprague,  an  account  of  himself, 
stating;  that  he  was  the  son  of  Rufus  and  Rosannah  Sprague  of  Johnston,  R.  I.; 
that  his  father  died  when  he  was  three  years  old,  leavmg  a  large  family;  that  a 
guardisA  was  appointed  for  him,  who  bound  him  as  an  apprentice  to  a  man  in 
Providence:  that  this  man  treated  him  badl^,  and  he  ran  away  when  ten  years 
old.  shipped  as  a  cabin  boy  and  became  a  sailor,  and  swore  that  he  would  never 
go  back  to  Providence;  and  that  he  never  did  go  back  to  that  place.  This  story 
was  repeated  by  Rufus  WilUam  Sprague  in  1872  in  a  letter  to  his  son,  Rufus 
William  Sprague,  Jr.,  the  latter  having  asked  about  his  grandfather;  and  this 
ktter  is  still  in  existence. 

Rufus  Sprague  of  Johnston,  R.  L.  died  about  1795,  leaving  a  widow  and  four- 
teen childrai.  In  his  will  dated  2  Sept.  1794  and  proved  26  Aug.  1795,  he  makes 
the  following  bequests:  To  daughter  Judah  15  ^anish  milled  dollars.  To  six 
other  daushtersj  Diadamy,  Sarah,  Rosabellow,  Roeanna,  Anne,  and  Polly,  £6 
aj^iece,  to  be  paid  by  son  Joseph  to  Diadamy,  Sarah,  Rosabellow,  and  Rosanna 
within  a  year  after  testator's  decease  and  to  Anne  and  Polly  when  they  are 
ei^teen.  To  sons  Welcome,  Rufus,  George,  Pardon,  and  Ezekiel  £3  each,  to 
be  paid  to  them  by  son  Joseph,  under  whose  care  they  are  to  remain  until  tney 
are  sixteen  years  old,  and  testator  orders  son  Joseph  to  bind  them  out  to  trades. 
To  son  Svlvester  £60,  to  be  paid  to  him  at  twenty-one,  and  he  is  to  be  under  the 
eare  of  Joseph.  Residue  of  lands  and  estate  to  son  Joseph,  saving  that  wife 
Rosannah  m  to  have  the  use  and  improvement  of  the  estate  as  long  as  she  remains 
a  widow.    Executors:  Dr.  Harding  Harris  and  son  Joseph  Sprague. 

The  widow,  Roscuinah  (Striven)  Sprague,  was  married  soon  afterwards  to 
Samuel  Kilton :  but  since  the  testator  had  made  Joseph  guardian  of  the  other 
children,  no  otner  guardian  was  appointed  by  the  Court. 

In  this  will  no  son  Archibald  is  mentioned.  Since  in  a  will  in  which  the  children 
are  provided  for  so  explicitly  it  is  not  hkely  that  one  child  would  be  omitted, 
it  is  evident  that  Arcmbald  changed  his  name  when  he  ran  away;  and  it  is  there- 
fore necessary  to  identify  him  with  one  of  the  sons  mentioned  m  the  will. 

In  1803  Joseph  Sprague  died.  In  his  will  he  mentions  his  brother  Sylvester 
Sprague^  his  son  CharlM  Sampson  Sprague,  his  wife  Sarah  and  her  father 
Theophilus  Blackmar  (the  latter  is  made  executor),  and  also  the  legacies  left  by 
his  father  Rufus  Sprague  that  are  to  be  paid  to  the  children  who  are  still  under 
age  and  have  not  yet  received  them.  Theophilus  Blackmar  was  appointed 
administrator  of  the  rest  of  Rufus  Sprague's  estate,  and  the  following  arrange- 
ments i^ut  guardians  were  made.  George  Sprague,  son  of  Rufus  Sprague  of 
Johnston^  deceased,  a  minor  over  fourteen  and  under  twenty-one,  chose  Benjamin 
Atwood  tor  his  guardian,  12  Feb.  1803.  Sylvester  Sprague  and  Pardon  Sprague, 
over  fourteen  and  under  twenty-one,  chose,  12  Feb.  1803,  Oliver  Borden  for  their 
guardian;  and  later,  4  June  1803,  th^  chose  Ebenezer  Sprague  for  their  guardian. 
Benjamin  Atwood  was  appointed,  12  Fdt>.  1803,  guardian  to  PoUy  Sprague  and 
Ezekiel  Sprague  (the  two  children  are  named  in  this  order),  children  of  Rufus 
Sprague,  late  of  Johnston,  deceased,  minors  under  fourteen.  It  appears,  there- 
fore ,  that  Esekiel  Sprague  was  the  only  son  for  whom  a  guardian  was  appoirUedf 
and  that  all  the  otner  sons  were  of  an  age  that  entitled  them  to  change  their 
guardians,  tf  they  so  desired,  and  thus  in  a  measure  to  control  their  own  destinies. 

The  birth  of  only  one  of  these  children  of  Rufus  Sprague  is  recorded,  that  of 
George,  the  entry  having  been  made  when  he  was  twenty-four  years  old;  but '

HISTORICAL  AND  GENEALOGICAL 
REGISTER 


OCTOBER,  1914 
WILLIAM  SANFORD  fflLI^ 

By  Thomas  Babnss  Httcboocx,  AJB.,  of  Boston,  Mass. 

William  Sanford  Hillb,  a  resident  member  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Historic  Genealogical  Society  from  1895  until  1913  and  a  life 
member  since  1  Januaiy  of  the  latter  year,  died  at  his  home  in 
Boston,  Mass.,  6  May  1914,  in  the  eighty-eighth  year  of  his  age. 
He  was  bom  at  Belfast,  Me^  5  July  1826,  ike  eldest  child  of  Joel  and 
Abigail  (Hawes)  Hills. 

He  was  of  Massachusetts  stock  throughout.  Of  some  eighty  an- 
cestors who  have  been  identified  and  located,  for  seven  generations 
back,  all  but  seven  lived  at  some  time  ux  their  lives  in  this  State. 
He  traced  his  paternal  ancestry  back  through  JoeV  (his  father), 
Samuel,*  Jabez,^  Jabez,^  Samud,'  and  Joseph*  to  the  immigrant 
Joseph^  Hills,  who  was  baptized  ux  the  parish  of  Great  Burstead,  co. 
Essex,  England,  3  March  1602/3,  the  son  of  George  Hilles,  and  came 
to  New  England  as  the  "undertaker"  of  the  voyage  of  the  Su8(^ 
and  Ellen,  which  arrived  at  Boston  17  July  1638.  Joseph^  Hills 
settled  first  m  Charlestown,  but  later  moved  to  "Mystic  Side"  (now 
Maiden).  He  soon  became  active  in  public  afiFairs,  was  selectman 
in  1644,  and  from  1646  to  1664  he  represented  this  section  in  the 
General  Ck)urt.  His  greatest  public  service  was  performed  as  the 
leading  member  of  the  committee  that  in  1648  reported  to  the  Gen- 
eral Court  the  first  codification  of  the  laws  of  the  Colony.  He  died 
at  Newbuiy,  Mass.,  5  February  1687/8.  Mr.  Hills's  grandfather, 
Samuel,*  bom  at  Pawtucket,  R.  I.,  14  Febmary  1760,  was  one  of 
the  earliest  settlers  in  Union,  Me.,  where  he  died  5  August  1829. 
His  father,  Joel,^  was  bom  at  Union  20  April  1795,  and  was  m  busi- 
ness there  for  several  years  before  he  removed  to  Belfast  in  1825. 
On  1  September  of  that  year  he  married  at  Franklin,  Mass.,  Abigail 
Hawes,  who  was  bom  at  Franklin  6  April  1797  and  died  at  Newton, 
Mass.,  3  July  1884,  the  daughter  of  Levi*  (Josiah,*  Daniel,*  Daniel,* 
Edward^)  and  Pamela  (Clark)  Hawes.  A  few  years  later  the  family 
removed  to  Bangor,  Me.,  and  finally,  in  1847,  to  Boston,  where  Jod 
Hills  died  25  September  1849. 

William  Sanford  HiUs  attended  the  public  schools  in  the  lower 
grades  at  Bangor,  was  sent  afterwards  to  Hampden  Academy,  Hamp- 
den, Me.,  and  then  to  the  nearby  academy  at  Freedom,  Me.,  and

still  later  attended  the  Bangor  High  School.  At  Freedom  Academy 
he  came  mider  the  strong  formative  influence  of  the  principal.  Rev. 
George  Field,  a  man  of  splendid  personality  and  high  ideals,  who  later 
gained  recognition  as  a  preacher  of  marked  ability  while  serving  as 
minister  of  the  old  Salem  Street  church  in  Boston. 

For  a  short  time  after  leaving  school  Mr.  Hills  was  a  bookseller 
in  Bangor,  but  at  the  age  of  twenty-one  entered  the  employ  of  a 
Massachusetts  firm  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  scientific  injstru- 
ments.  He  rose  rapidly  with  this  house,  and  was  occupjring  a  po- 
sition of  responsibility  when  in  1849  the  death  of  his  father,  who 
owned  a  storage  warehouse  and  a  wholesale  flour  business  in  Boston, 
threw  upon  hmi  and  his  brother  Joel  the  conduct  of  this  establish- 
ment. In  1855  he  temporarily  withdrew  from  the  flour  business 
and  made  the  trip  around  the  Horn  to  California  in  the  clipper  ship 
Staffordshire.  He  took  with  him  the  first  sewing  machine  ever  seen 
on  the  Pacific  coast.  After  two  years  of  business  experience  in 
California  he  rejoined  his  brother  in  the  flour  trade  in  Boston,  in 
which  he  continued  for  nearly  fifty  years,  until  1  January  1894. 
The  house  of  Hills  &  Brother  was  one  of  the  ninety-nine  finns  and 
individuals  to  sign  in  1855  the  original  agreement  forming  the  Boston 
Com  Exchange,  which  was  later  merged  in  the  Boston  Chamber  of 
Commerce;  and  it  is  an  interesting  fact  that  Thomas  A.  Edison, 
while  working  as  a  clerk  in  Hills  &  Brother's  Boston  store,  perfected 
his  device  whjch  made  it  possible  to  send  more  than  one  message  at 
the  same  time  over  a  telegraph  wire. 

Before  1886  Mr.  Hills  began  to  have  trouble  with  his  eyes,  and  in 
1894  he  became  totally  blind.  His  fondness  for  books  and  reading 
made  this  affliction  —  tragic  enough  in  any  case  —  doubly  so  in  his. 
But  the  cheerfulness  and  optinusm  of  his  character  were  in  no  wise 
abated  during  the  remaining  years  of  his  life. 

He  had  always  had  an  interest  in  the  history  of  his  family,  and  he 
now  determined  to  compile  the  genealogy  of  the  great  number  of 
families  of  his  own  name.  On  this  task  he  spent  ten  years,  and 
accomplished  it  by  the  aid  of  secretaries  and  an  organization  which 
he  formed  and  which  was  called  the  "Hills  Family  Genealogiosd 
and  Historical  Association."  During  this  period  he  was  a  frequent 
visitor  to  the  Library  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical 
Society,  and  he  often  said  that  his  interest  in  genealogy  prolonged 
his  life.  The  results  of  all  the  efforts  he  set  on  foot  were  embodied 
in  a  volume  of  more  than  700  pages,  called  "The  Hills  Family  in 
America,"  which  was  published  in  1906.  The  late  Thomas  Hills 
of  South  Boston  was  president  of  the  Association  and  editor  of  the 
genealogy. 

Mr.  Hills  showed  his  great  interest  in  the  work  of  the  New  England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society  in  a  practical  manner  by  becoming 
one  of  the  largest  contributors  to  the  fund  for  the  erection  of  the 
Society's  new  building,  and  in  recognition  of  his  aid  the  Council 
named  the  consultation  room  adjoining  the  Library  The  Wiluau 
Sanford  Hills  Memorial  Room,  and  the  Society  elected  him  as 
a  member  of  the  Council  for  the  three  years'  term  beginning  in  1913. 

Mr.  Hills  had  a  deep  interest  m  books,  not  only  from  the  point  of 
view  of  the  collector,  but  as  a  true  lover  of  literature.    At  one  time

his  library  contained  not  only  rare  editions  of  standard  authors  but 
choice  volumes  that  appeal  peculiarly  to  the  bibliophile,  includii^ 
several  Caxtons. 

In  1887  Mr.  Hills  and  a  few  friends  of  similar  tastes  formed  the 
club  that  three  years  later  was  incoiporated  as  The  Club  of  Odd 
Volumes.  He  founded  its  library  by  presenting  it  with  a  large  col- 
lection of  works  of  considerable  value,  many  of  them  unusual  and 
highly  prized.  Though  unable  to  take  part  in  the  affairs  of  the 
organization  in  later  years,  he  was  remembered  with  affection  by  the 
older  members,  and  at  the  time  of  his  death  was  one  of  five  honorary 
members. 

In  the  years  1866  and  1867  he  served  on  the  Boston  Common 
Council.  He  was  a  thirty-second  degree  Mason  of  Columbian  Lodge, 
Boston,  a  member  of  the  Bostonian  Society,  of  the  Society  of  Found- 
ers and  Patriots  of  America,  of  the  Boston  Art  Club,  and  of  several 
other  social  and  patriotic  organizations. 

His  favorite  recreations  were  himting,  fishing,  and  sailing.  Blind- 
ness, of  course,  cut  him  off  from  the  firat,  but  he  continued  to  enjoy 
the  others  until  but  a  short  time  before  his  death. 

Mr.  Hills  married  in  Boston,  26  December  1860,  Cornelia  Rod- 
man Darrow,  who  was  bom  at  Edgartown,  Mass.,  12  July  1835, 
daughter  of  Charles  Smith  and  Abigail  Ferguson  (Pease)  Darrow. 
Mrs.  Hills  died  in  Boston  several  years  before  her  husband,  without 
children.

*  In  Rboister,  vol.  67,  p.  362,  Jonathan  Crawford  Huckins  is  numbered  76  and  the 
date  of  his  birth  is  given  as  1800,  while  his  brother  Ebeoezer  (76)  is  there  numbered  74 
and  is  said  to  have  been  bom  3  May  1799.  Later  information  obtained  by  the  com* 
Tttler  of  this  genealogy  convinces  him  that  the  dates  of  birth  of  these  two  brothert  as 
given  in  the  present  issue  of  the  Register  are  correct;  and  it  is  necessary,  therefore,  to 
assign  to  Jonathan  Crawford  Huckins  the  number  74  and  to  his  brother  Ebeseaer  the 
number  76.

SOME  RECENT  INVESTIGATIONS 

CONCERNING 

THE  ANCESTRY  OF  CAPT.  MYLES  STANDISH 

By  Rev.  Thomas  Cbuddas  Pobtbus,  B.A.,  B.D.,  of  Coppull,  Lancashire,  Eog. 

Knowing  the  widenspread  interest  that  is  aroused  by  any  discoveries 
relating  to  the  English  homes  and  connections  of  those  who  came  to 
New  England  in  the  Mayflower,  the  writer  of  this  article  submits  to 
the  readers  of  the  Register  the  results  of  some  of  his  researches  in 
the  history  of  the  numerous  Standish  families  of  Lancashire;  and 
he  does  this  in  the  belief  that  he  has  identified  the  lands  in  England 
to  which  Capt.  Myles  Standish  in  his  will  laid  claim  and  that  in  all 
probability  he  has  determined  the  particular  branch  of  the  Lancashire 
Standishes  to  which  the  Plymouth  soldier  belonged.  At  the  end  of 
the  article  will  be  found  a  tentative  pedigree,  showing  in  tabular  form 
a  probable  line  of  ancestry  for  Capt.  Myles  Standish  and  the  probable 
connection  between  that  branch  of  the  family  from  which,  in  the 
opinion  of  the  writer,  Capt.  Myles  sprang  and  the  main  line  of 
Standish  of  Standish.  Copies  or  abstracts  of  twenty-eight  recently 
discovered  deeds  are  added,  from  which  the  history  of  the  lands  in 
question  has  been  traced.* 

The  concluding  paragraph  in  the  last  will  and  testament  of  Capt. 
Myles  Standish,  which  is  dated  7  Mar.  1655  [1655/6]  and  was  ex- 
hibited before  the  Court  at  Plymouth  4  May  1657,  reads  as  follows: 

9  I  give  unto  my  son  k  heire  aparent  Allexander  Standish  all  my  lands  as 
heire  apparent  by  lawfull  Decent  in  Ormistick  Borsconge  Wrightington 
Maudsle^  Newburrow  Crawston  and  the  lie  of  man  and  given  to  mee  as 
right  heire  by  lawfull  Decent  but  Surruptuously  Detained  from  mee  my 
great  G(ran)dfather  being  a  2«>od  or  younger  brother  from  the  house  of 
Standish  of  Standishf 

Nathaniel  Morton,  in  his  ^'New-Englands  Memoriall,"  printed  in 
1669,  about  thirteen  years  after  the  death  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish, 
writes: 

This  Year  [1656]  Captsdn  Miles  Standish  expired  his  mortal  life:  He  was 
a  Gentleman,  bom  in  Lancashire^  and  was  Heir-Apparent  imto  a  great 
Estate  of  Lands  and  Livings,  surreptitiously  detained  from  him :  his  greaX 
Grandfather  being  a  Second  or  Younger  Brother  from  the  House  oi  Standish.t 

Hubbard,  in  his  "General  History  of  New  England,"  p.  556 
(second  edition,  1848),  says  that  Capt.  Standish  "was  allied  to.  the

mission to  study  and  copy  from  documents  in  his  valuable  collection.

340  Ancestry  of  Capt.  MyUs  SiandisK  [Oct 

noble  house  of  Standish,  in  Lancashire,  inheriting  some  of  the  virtues 
of  that  honorable  family,  as  well  as  the  name." 

Alexander  Standish,  the  eldest  son  of  Capt.  Myles,  in  his  will 
dated  21  Feb.  1701/2  and  proved  10  Aug.  1702,  refers  to  the  English 
lands  mentioned  in  his  father's  will  in  the  following  terms: 

Also  my  will  is  That  whatsoever  Estate  Either  in  New  England  or  m  old 
which  I  have  Conmiitted  into  y^  hands  of  Robert  orchard  to  Recover  in 
Endand  by  letters  of  Attorney  from  under  my  hand  Seal  And  John  Rogers 
of  Boston  in  New  England  bv  a  letter  of  Attorney  from  under  my  hand  k

part  k  y^  Remainder  to  be  divided  Equally  betweene  Thomas  Standish 
Ichabod  Standish  &  desire  Standish.* 

It  is  clear,  therefore,  that  Capt.  Myles  Standish  believed  that  he 
was  descended  from  the  family  of  Standish  of  Standish,  co.  Lancaster, 
and  that  lands  to  which  he  was  heir  in  certain  Lancashire  places  and 
in  the  Isle  of  Man  had  been  "Sumiptuously  [i.e.,  surreptitioudyl 
Detained"  from  him;   that  his  fellow  colonist,  Nathaniel  Morton, 
writing  not  more  than  thirteen  years  after  Capt.  Myles's  death, 
repeated  in  briefer  form  the  statements  of  the  will,  omitting  the  names 
of  the  places  in  which  the  lands  in  question  were  situated  but  adding 
the  important  information  that  Capt.  Myles  was  bom  in  Lancashire; 
that  Rev.  William  Hubbard,  writing  also  before  the  close  of  the 
seventeenth  century,  connected  Capt.  Myles  with  the  house  of 
Standish  in  Lancashire;  and  that  Alexander  Standish  took  steps  — 
evidently  without  success — towards  the  recovery  of  the  English 
estates  to  which  his  father  had  claimed  that  he  was  entitled. 

Notwithstanding  the  clues  furnished  by  the  records  which  have 
been  quoted  above,  no  one  has  yet  been  able  to  determine  the  exact 
relationship  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish  to  the  Standishes  of  Lancashire, 
previous  investigators  having  failed  to  prove  a  line  of  descent  for 
him  from  the  Standishes  of  Standish  or  to  coimect  him  positively 
with  the  Standishes  of  Duxbury.    Longfellow,  who  in  his  "Court- 
ship of  Miles  Standish  "  boldly  assigns  Capt.  Myles  to  the  Duxbury 
Standishes,  may  have  been  inlBuenced  by  the  name  Diixbvry  which 
was  given  to  the  town  in  the  Plymouth  Colony  in  which  Capt.  Myles 
finally  settled;   but  he  appears  to  be  ignorant  of  the  fact  that  the 
manor  house  of  the  Standishes  of  Duxbury  was  not  called  Duxbury 
Hall  in  the  time  of  Capt.  Myles,  but  was  then  known  as  "The  Peel," 
and  for  many  years  afterwards  as  Duxbury  Park.    The  house  known 
as  Duxbury  Hall  belonged  to  ayoimger  branch  of  the  family  of  Dux- 
bury of  Duxbury  and  was  sold  to  Ralph  Standish  of  Standish  20 
Jan.,  15  Henry  VIII  [1523/4].    (Earwaker,  Charters  and  Deeds  rela- 
tive to  the  Standish  Family  of  Standish  and  Duxbury,  co.  Lancaster,t 
cclxxii,  cclxxiii,  ccxci,  ccxcii.)    Longfellow,  however,  was  not  writing 
history  when  he  composed  his  poem,  and  further  refutation  of  his 
statements  is  unnecessary.    In  spite  of  the  vast  amount  of  research 
and  of  speculation  in  regard  to  the  problems  of  Capt.  Myles's  p^li-

gree,  of  his  reIi^on»  and  of  the  lands  which  he  claimed,  no  mention 
of  any  Myles  Standish  of  the  period  of  time  to  whicji  Capt.  Myles 
belonged  has  been  foimd  in  Lancashire.* 

At  this  point  it  may  be  desirable  to  examine  a  little  more  closely  the 
paragraph  which  has  been  quoted  from  the  wiH  of  Capt.  Myles  Stand- 
ish, and  which  is  certainly  a  strange  mixture  of  definiteness  and  vague- 
ness. The  claim  of  descent  from  Standish  of  Standish  is  plain  enough, 
and  suggests  that  the  testator  knew  of  other  branches  of  the  Standish 
family.  Yet  the  statement  that  Myles's  great-grandfather  was  a 
second  or  yoimger  brother  of  this  house  is  dubious  as  it  stands  (the 
words  second  and  younger  may  be  equivalents  or  alternatives),  and 
is  more  doubtful  if  the  term  greatrgrandfaiher  is  not  used  literally,  to 
designate  an  ancestor  three  generations  back,  but  is  used,  in  a  loose, 
general  sense,  for  a  remote  ancestor.  That  the  Captain  did  use  the. 
expression  in  this  loose  way  seems  plain  to  the  writer;  for  the  lands 
to  which  he  refers  were,  as  will  be  showfi  below,  in  the  hands  of  a 
jrounger  branch  at  least  as  early  as  1480,  while  Ralph  Standjish,  the 
squire  of  Standish  three  generations  back  from  Myles,  died  in  1538, 
and  his  (Ralph's)  father.  Sir  Alexander,  died  in  1507.  Why  does 
Myles  not  give  the  name  of  this  great-grandfather?  He  does  not 
even  give  the  name  of  his  father.  Again,  the  names  of  the  places 
where  the  "  Detained"  lands  were  situated  are  definitely  stated,  though 
the  words  *'  and  the  He  of  man  "  are  somewhat  vague.  The  Captain 
had  been  away  from  England  very  long  when  he  made  his  will;  yet 
he  recollects  accurately  the  Lancashire  localities  where  his  branch  6f 
the  family  had  tenements.  But  again,  he  gives  no  particulars.  He 
does  not  state  the  acreage  of  the  lands,  nor  their  annual  value,  nor 
how  they  were  bounded,  nor  of  what  lords  they  were  held.  "Sur- 
niptuously  Detained,"  too,  is  a  curious  phrase,  the  writing  of  one 
with  whom  the  sword  was  mightier  than  the  pen.  The  word  sur- 
repHHoudy  no  doubt  indicates  an  act  carried  out  by  fraud  rather  than 
by  force.  And  we  naturally  ask.  By  whom?  By  what  means?  On 
what  pretense?  Have  any  attempts  been  made  to  recover  possession, 
and  with  what  success?  On  these  points  the  will  is  silent.  Capt. 
Myles  seems  to  take  it  for  granted  that  his  son  Alexander  knows  all 
the  particulars,  and  may  be  trusted  to  take  the  proper  steps.  But 
having  told  us  so  much,  why  did  he  not  tell  us  naore?  He  made  a 
public  protest  against  the  fraud  of  those  who  disinherited  him;  he 
aired  his  grievance,  so  to  speak;  for  he  must  have  known  that  the 
will  would  be  read  before  the  Court,  and  so  made  known  to  the  Colony.

law,  Esq..  Librarian  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  has  called  atten-

not  earlier  than  1644,  Margaret,  daughter  and  Bcie  heiress  of  Geone  Ireland  of  South- 
worUi,  CO.  Lancaster,  and  widow  of  Cuthbert  Clifton  of  Westby  and  Clifton,  to  whom  she 
had  been  married  in  1641.  It  appears  also  from  this  note  that  Cuthbert  Clifton,  the 
former  husband  of  Margaret  Ireland,  was  a  colonel  in  the  army  of  the  King,  was  taken 
prisoner  at  Liverpool  in  1644,  and  died  <.p.  soon  aCterwards,  and  that  Margaret  (Ireland) 
btandish  married  thirdly  Peniston  Whalley  of  Screveton,  co.  Notts.  The  editor  of 
the  volume  (which  contains  Lancashire  Royalist  Composition  Papers)  gives  no  author-' 
ity  for  his  statements  about  Miles  Standish  of  Duxbury  and  his  wife.  The  writo*  of 
tius  article,  however,  believes  that  Miiea  is  here  a  mere  slip  of  the  pen  for  Alexander; 
for  according  to  the  pedigrees  of  Standish  of  Duxbury  the  second  husband  of  this 
Margaret  Irdand  was  the  Alexander  Standish  who  died  in  1647.

But  something  sealed  his  lips  as  to  the  names  of  the  trani^ressors  and 
the  nature  of  their  offense.  And  we  who  speculate  on  the  matter 
toHiay  almost  feel  that  the  particulars  we  should  like  to  know  have 
been  "Sumiptuously  Detained"  from  us.  Take  another  phrase, 
"given  to  mee  as  lii^t  heire."  By  whom?  How  given?  Heir  to 
whom?  The  emphAsis  on  "by  lawfull  Decent,"  the  words  occurring 
twice  in  the  short  paragraph,  might  almost  suggest  that  the  Captain's 
legitimacy  had  been  denied  by  those  who  withheld  the  lands. 

It  may  be  remarked  in  passing  that  no  evidence  as  to  Capt.  Myles 
Standish's  descent  is  deducible  from  the  names  he  gave  to  his  sons 
or  from  his  religious  position.  He  called  his  eldest  son  Alexander. 
The  name  of  the  manorial  lord  of  Duxbury  when  Myles  sailed  in  the 
Mayflower  was  Alexander;  the  latter  died  in  1622,  and  was  succeeded 
l^  his  son  Thomas.  But  another  Alexander  was  manorial  lord  of 
Standish  from  161Q  imtil  1622.  The  name  of  Myles's  daughter  Lora 
is  reminiscent  of  a  Standisli  of  Standish  alliance  in  1398  or  there- 
abouts, when  Lawrence  'de  Standish  married  Lora,  daughter  of  Sir 
Roger  Pilkington.  (Mrs.  Tempest,  Standish  Deeds,  no.  115.)  But 
no  inference  can  be  deduced  from  these  names. 

As  to  Capt.  Myles's  religious  position,  Hubbard,  in  writing  of  the 
military  affairs  of  the  Plymouth  colonists,  describes  him  "  as  a  person 
^  that  company,  though  at  that  time  not  of  their  church."  (Gen- 
eral History  of  New  England,  p.  63.)  The  list  of  his  books  contained 
in  the  inventory  of  his  estate  shows  that  he  had,  in  addition  to  other 
books,  three  Bibles,  a  Testament,  a  Psalm-book,  Calvin's  LMtitutes, 
and  a  number  of  controversial  works.*  We  may,  perhaps,  infer  from 
them  that  he  was  not  a  Roman  Catholic.  It  is  unlikely  that  the 
Pilgrims  would  have  put  him  in  office  if  he  had  been  a  Roman  Catho- 
lic, or  that  he  would  have  attended  their  services,  as  the  records  of 
the  Plymouth  Colony  show  that  he  did.  His  will  reveals  a  devout 
man,  nevertheless.  He  exhorts  the  supervisors  to  do  the  office  of 
Christitm  love  to  his  wife  and  children  and  to  be  helpful  to  them  by 
Christian  counsel  and  advice,  and  ends  this  request  with  the  words, 
"though  neit^r  they  nor  I  shalbee  able  to  recompenc  I  Doe  not 
Doubt  but  the  Lord  will."  Neither  Puritan  nor  Roman  Catholic, 
yet  devout.  Wtat  was  his  position?  Was  it  not  that  of  a  laige 
number  of  English  people  of  those  days,  opposed  to  extr^nes,  and 
content  with  the  -compromise  represented  by  the  reformed  Church 
of  England? 

The  statement  is  >made  by  Tudor  Jenks  and  others  concerning  the 
two  great  branches 'Of  the  family  that  "at  the  Reformation  the  two 
separated  [in  religious  opinion],  the  Standish  Hall  family  remaining 
!Romanists,  while  the  Duxbury  branch  became  Protestants."  (Jenks, 
Captain  Myles  Standish,  p.  33.)  This  needs  qualification.  Ekiward 
Standish  of  Standish,  who  died  in  1610,  though  suspected,  was  never 
a  convicted  recusant,  and  Ralph  Standish  of  Standish,  his  grandson, 
stated  in  1662  that  he  was  neither  recusant  nor  delinquent.  (Calen- 
dar of  State  Papers,  Compounding  Committee,  vol.  4,  p.  2574.)  But 
soon  afterwards  the  family  of  Standish  of  Standish  Hall  became 
avowedly  Roman  Catholic.

The  accompanying  map  shows  the  situation  of  five  of  the  Lan- 
cashire places  that  are  mentioned  in  Capt.  Myles  Standish's  will  and 
of  many  other  places  that  are  referred  to  in  this  article.

*  This  map  ia  three-fourths  as  large  as  the  corresponding  portion  of  the  map  in 
Camden's  Britannia,  and  is  on  a  scale  of  about  6H  miles  to  the  inch.  "The  Pele/' 
south  of  Charley  [Chorley],  appears  on  the  map  in  the  edition  of  the  Britannia  pub- 
lished in  1637  as  "the  Pele  of  Duxbury,"  while  "The  Pele"  near  the  southeastern 
comer  of  the  map,  a  short  distance  north  of  the  River  Mersey,  is  in  the  edition  of  1637 
called  "the  Pile."  All  of  the  six  Lancashire  places  mentioned  in  the  will  of  Capt. 
Myles  Standish  are  given  on  this  map  except  Maudsley  [Mawdesley],  and  this  place 
adjoins  Bispham.  Coppull,  the  residence  of  the  writer  of  this  article,  does  not  appear 
on  this  map,  but  it  lies  north  of  Standish  and  adjoining  it  on  the  main  road  indicated. 

The  Lancashire  places  named  in  the  Captain's  will  are  undoubtedly  townships,  not 
parishes.  Croston  is  the  township  of  that  name,  not  the  parish.  If  the  parish  were 
intended,  Mawdesley  would  not  have  been  named,  as  it  is  a  township  in  Croston 
pariah.  Similarly,  Ormskirk  is  mentioned  as  a  township,  for  Newburgh  is  a  hamlet 
in  Lathom  township  and  is  in  the  parish  of  Ormskirk.  Burscough  is  also  a  township 
in  (h-mskirk  parish.  Wri^tington  is  a  township  in  the  ancient  parish  of  Eccleeton. 
Duxbuiy  Hall  was  never  m  the  parish  of  Chorley,  as  some  have  supposed,  but  was 
always  in  the  ancient  parish  of  Standish, 


344  Ancestry  of  Capt.  Myles  SUmdish  [Oct 

The  fundamental  error  of  American  writers  on  the  subject  of  Capt. 
Myles's  ancestry  is  to  take  it  for  granted  that  there  were  only  two 
branches  of  the  Standish  family  in  Lancashire  in  the  days  of  Queen 
Elizabeth.  There  were  two  chief  branches,  but  there  were  also  a 
score  of  other  branches.  Then,  or  before  that  time,  Standishes  were 
foimd  in  all  the  himdreds  of  Lancashire.  But  in  the  two  hundreds 
of  Leyland  and  West  Derby  they  were  most  in  evidence.  In  Ley- 
land  himdred  one  branch  held  an  estate  in  Croston  and  Mawdesley 
and  elsewhere,  and  this  branch  may  prove  to  have  some  bearing  on 
the  history  of  Capt.  Myles.  The  parish  of  Standish  (which  origimdly 
contained  ten  townships,  Standish  with  Langtree,  Shevington,  Cop- 
pull,  Chamock  Richard,  Worthington,  Welsh  Whittle,  Duxbury, 
Adlmgton,  Anderton,  and  Heath  Chamock)  was  dotted  over  with 
settlements  of  the  family.  There  were  several  households  in  Standish 
township,  several  in  Duxbury,  several  in  Shevington.  In  West 
Derby  himdred  there  were  Standishes  in  Wigan  parish,  in  Walton-on- 
the-Hill,  in  Prescot,  and  in  Ormskirk.  They  are  mentioned  in  more 
than  a  dozen  different  parish  registers  and  chapelry  registers  in  the 
county.  Many  wills,  inquisitions  post  mortem,  fines,  and  deeds 
relating  to  these  various  branches  were  searched  for  some  trace  of 
Capt.  Myles's  descent  and  inheritance;  and  at  last,  after  following 
many  a  false  trail  that  ended  in  failure,  the  writer  made  a  discovery 
that  enables  him,  as  he  believes,  to  set  forth  the  history  of  the  lands 
claimed  by  Capt.  Myles  in  his  will  and  to  point  out  the  particular 
Standish  family  to  which  the  Plymouth  warrior  in  all  probability 
belonged. 

In  the  year  1912  the  writer  of  this  article,  while  turning  over  the 
pages  of  a  volume  of  manuscripts  in  the  Chetham  Library  at  Man- 
chester, in  a  search  for  something  else,  came  upon  this  brief  in  a 
calendar  of  deeds: 

Rentale  Margarete  Stand3rs8he,  vidue,  p'an.  integrum,  A.D.  1529.  0rm9> 
kirk,  Borscoghe,  Croston,  Mawdisley,  Wryghtington,  Newburghe.  .  .  (Pio- 
cope  MSS.,  vol.  3,  p.  42,  no.  114.     Vide  infra,  p.  363,  Deeds,  no.  3.) 

There  flashed  at  once  into  the  writer's  mind  the  identity  of  these 
townships  or  hamletd  with  the  places  named  in  the  will  of  Capt. 
Myles  Standish;  and  further  search  led  to  the  discovery,  not  eaoly 
and  all  at  once  but  gradually  and  from  various  sources,  of  about 
thirty  transcribed  deeds*  and  a  host  of  other  references,  all  pertaining 
to  the  estate  of  a  line  of  Standishes  descended  from  the  stock  at 
Standish  Hall  but  as  far  back  as  the  fifteenth  century  quite  distinct 
from  the  parent  house.  These  deeds  do  not  mention  Myles  Standish; 
but  in  the  mind  of  the  writer  they  leave  no  doubt  that,  in  so  far  as 
circumstantial  evidence  can  give  certainty,  Capt.  Myles  Standish 
belonged  to  a  certain  branch  of  the  Standishes  that  was  settled  from 
1440,  if  not  earlier,  at  Ormskirk,  in  the  himdred  of  West  Derby. 
The  six  places  in  Lancashire  to  which  Capt.  Myles  refers  in  his  will 
were  the  places  in  which  the  Standishes  of  this  branch  held  land,  and 
they  seem  to  have  held  nowhere  else.    A  clinching  bit  of  evidence  is 

*  Copies  or  abstracts  of  twenty-eight  of  these  deeds  may  be  found  at  the  end  of  this 
article  (pp.  363-370),  and  will  he  rderred  t6  as  Deeds,  with  the  appropriate  number. 


1914]  Ancestry  of  Capt.  MyUs  Standiah  345 

found  in  the  fact  that  some  members  of  this  branch  settled  in  the  Isle 
of  Man.  In  this  article,  therefore,  the  writer  purposes  to  present 
evidence  in  support  of  the  following  theories:  jBj*st,  that  Capt.  Myles 
Standish  did  not  spring  immediately  from  the  Standish  Hall  stock; 
secondly,  that  it  appears  that  he  did  not  come  from  the  Standishes 
of  Duxbury  Park;  and  thirdly,  that  he  was  one  of  the  Standishes  of 
Ormskirk. 

The  chief  reason  for  concluding  that  Capt.  Myles  did  not  derive 
descent  immediately  from  the  family  of  Standish  of  Standish  is  the 
locality  or  "lie"  of  the  lands  mentioned  in  his  will.  The  matter  may 
be  put  in  two  ways:  first,  he  did  not  claim  tenements  in  the  town- 
ships where  the  Standishes  of  Standish  held  most  land;  secondly,  in 
the  majority  of  the  places  which  he  names  they  held  no  estate.  Our 
sources  of  information  concerning  the  Standish  possessions  consist 
of  deeds,  final  concords,  and  inquisitions  post  mortem. 

The  family  of  Standish  of  Standish  (the  parent  stock),  as  the  name 
denotes,  had  their  chief  estate  in  the  township  or  townships  of 
Standish  with  Langtree.  Ralph  Standish,  who  died  in  1538,  had 
the  manor  of  Standish  and  22  houses  there,  and  also  3  mills,  200  acres 
of  arable  land,  100  acres  of  meadow,  200  acres  of  pasture,  100  acres  of 
wood,  and  200  acres  of  heath  and  moor.  (Lancashire  Inquisitions 
Post  Mortem,  vol.  8,  no.  21.)  By  the  time  of  Edward  Standish,  who 
died  in  1610,  the  estate  was  somewhat  reduced;  but  his  inquisition 
post  mortem  mentions  some  330  acres  in  Standish.  {lb.,  vol.  20, 
no.  7,  printed  in  Publications  of  the  Lancashire  and  Cheshire  Record 
Society y  vol.  3,  pp.  185-191.)  Now  Capt.  Myles  did  not  claun  a  single 
acre  in  this  vill,  which  was  the  very  headquarters  of  the  Standish 
Hall  stock.  Similarly,  they  held  very  extensively  in  Shevington,  from 
early  times  claiming  a  fourth  part  of  the  manor;  the  Edward  just 
mentioned  had  seven  houses  and  land  there.  Very  early  also  they 
obtained  a  house  and  land  in  Wigan.  The  aforesaid  Ralph  acquired 
extensive  property  in  Duxbury  and  in  Coppull.  None  of  these 
estates  are  referred  to  in  the  Captain's  will.  Again,  by  marriages 
witii  heiresses,  lands  in  other  parts  of  Lancashire,  such  as  Chadderton, 
Glodwick,  and  Rochdale,  were  from  time  to  time  added  to  the  Stand- 
ish possessions;  but  not  an  inch  of  these  dowry  lands  was  mentioned 
by  Capt.  Myles.  This  indicates  that  he  made  no  claim  to  the  chief 
part  01  the  estate  held  by  the  manorial  lords  of  Standish. 

There  are,  however,  two  places  named  in  the  Captain's  will  in 
which  the  parent  stock  had  a  small  estate,  viz.,  Ormskirk  and  Wright- 
ington. 

The  family  of  Standish  of  Standish  had  only  one  tenement  in  the 
parish  of  Ormdrirk,  and  the  history  of  this  tenement  seems  fairly 
clear.  Kuerden  records  that  "Henry  le  Waleys  gave  William  de 
Standish  my  burgage  in  Ormskirk  bounded  .  .  ."  (Kuerden,  Fol.  MS., 
p.  10,  no.  44.)  Henry  was  rector  both  of  Standish  and  (at  one  time) 
of  Aughton  near  Ormskirk,  and  the  grant  must  have  been  made  early 
in  the  fourteenth  century.  Burgage  was  a  kind  of  tenure  in  ancient 
towns  at  a  fixed  yearly  rent,  a  sort  of  town  socage.  The  burgage  at 
Ormddrk  is  mentioned  among  the  Standish  possessions  from  time  to 
time.    Alexander  de  Standish  held  it  at  the  time  of  his  death  in  1445. 


346  Ancestry  of  Capi.  Myles  SiandiA  [Oct. 

It  is  referred  to  in  a  Standish  settfement  about  five  years  lat^ .  {lb., 
p.  13,  no.  53.)  Ralph  Standish,  wbo  died  in  1538,  held  a  cottage, 
etc.,  m  Ormskirk  of  the  King  in  buri^ge,  and  the  clear  annual  value 
was  estimated  at  12d.  In  the  inquisition  after  the  death  of  Ralph, 
idio  died  under  age  in  1546,  the  holding  is  described  as  a  cottage  in 
Ormskirk  of  the  value  of  12d.,  held  of  t&  King  in  free  burgage  as  of 
the  late  monastery  of  Burscough.  The  Standishes  of  Standi^  are 
mentioned  as  tenants  in  the  various  rentals  of  Burscough  Priory. 
Edward,  who  succeeded  the  Ralph  last  mentioned,  appears  to  have 
sold  this  property.  For  in  2  and  3  PhiUp  and  Mary  [1555-6]  Ed- 
ward Stimdish  of  Standish  granted  Peter  Stanley  a  tenonent  in  Com* 
monfield  m  Ormskirk.  (Kuerden  MSS.,  vol.  2,  fo.  271b.)  The 
inquisition  after  the  death  of  Edward  (1610)  does  not  mention  any 
possessions  in  Ormskirk*  The  Standi^es  of  Standish  did  not  hold 
land  in.  Burscough,  or  in  Newburgh  in  Lathom,  the  other  places  in 
Ormskirk  parish  mentioned  in  the  Captain's  will;  and  therefore  tiieir 
possession  of  a  cottage  in  Ormskirk  town  must  not  mislead  us  into 
concluding  that  Capt.  Myles  was  claiming  their  estate.  Similarly, 
the  fact  that  the  Standishes  of  Standish  held  in  Wrightington  4  acres 
of  land  and  2  acres  of  pasture  in  1546  may  be  ignor^,  although  tJiat 
township  is  named  in  the  Captain's  will. 

It  is  clear,  therefore,  that  the  lands  that  the  manorial  family  of 
Standish  held  and  the  lands  that  Capt.  Myles  Claimed  lie  for  the  most 
part  in  different  localities,  and  that  they  never  owned  land  in  most 
of  the  townships  that  he  names.  There  is  no  evidence  that  they  held 
in  Burscough,  Mawdesley,  Newburgh,  Croston,  or  that  they  had  any 
land  in  the  Isle  of  Man.  There  is  indeed  a  Burscough  family  charter, 
dated  2  Henry  VI  [1423-4],  among  the  Standish  evidences  which 
Mr.  Earwaker  published  (Earwaker,  cxvii),  a  settlement  of  lands  in 
Burscough  and  Litham  (Lathom)  by  Catherine,  late  wife  of  Richard 
de  Burscough,  or  [?on]  Richard  her  son,  with  remainder  to  AUce, 
daughter  of  Gilbert  de  Standish;  but  the  lands  in  reversion  never 
reached  the  Standishes  of  Standish,  or  they  would  have  been  men- 
tioned in  their  settlements  and  inquisitions. 

The  holdings  of  the  Standishes  of  Diqcbury  may  next  be  examined. 
It  is  with  this  branch  that  Capt.  Myles  has  been  commonly  but,  as 
it  seems  to  the  writer,  erroneously  identified  by  the  majority  of 
writers.  They  acquired  the  manor  of  Duxbury  from  the  family  of 
that  name,  early  in  the  fourteenth  century,  in  a  romantic  way. 
Henry  de  Duxbury  had  taken  part  in  the  rebellion  of  Adam  Banastre 
and  was  imprisoned  at  Lancaster,  but  was  suffered  to  go  about  the 
town.  He  granted  a  rent  from  his  lands  to  Hugh  de  Standish,  who 
undertook  to  aid  in  his  delivery.  (Assize  Roll  425,  m.  6.)  This 
concession  paved  the  way  for  further  surrenders.  The  connection  of 
Hugh  with  the  parent  stock  at  Standish  is  not  quite  clear,  but  there 
is  evidence  that  his  grandparents  were  members  of  the  Standish 
family.  His  father,  whose  surname  he  sometimes  used,  was  Robert 
de  Haydock,  rector  of  Standish.  (Kuerden  MSS.,  vol.  2,  fo.  145b, 
noe.  63, 69, 70;  and  accoimt  of  Duxbury  in  Victoria  Coimty  Histories, 
Lancashire.)  The  chief  estate  of  the  Standishes  of  Duxbury  from 
very  early  tunes  was  in  Duxbury,  Heapey,  and  Bradley  Qn  Stand- 


1914]  Ancestry  of  Capt.  Myles  Siandiah  347 

ish  with  Langtree).  They  also  held  in  Heath  Chamock,  Crosby, 
and  elsewhere.  Alexander  Standish  of  Duxbury,  who  died  in  1622, 
bad  about  432  acres  of  various  lands  in  Duxbury,  and  about  332 
acres  in  Heath  Chamock.  He  held  extensively  in  Heapey  and 
Anglezark.  (Lancashire  Inquisitions,  vol.  24,  no.  56,  printed  in 
PiMicaHans  of  the  Lancashire  and  Cheshire  Record  Society^  vol.  17, 
pp.  397-400.)  These  places  are  not  named  in  the  Captain's  will. 
In  the  places  that  are  named  in  the  will  the  Standishes  of  Duxbury 
appear  not  to  have  had  any  tenements.  This  again  would  seem 
to  prove  that,  of  whatever  estates  Capt.  Myles  was  defrauded, 
they  were  Hot  the  property  of  Standish  of  Duxbury;  and,  therefore, 
presumably,  he  was  not  a  member  of  this  particular  branch  of  the 
Standishes. 

It  must  be  admitted,  however,  that  this  conclusion  is  not  in  har- 
mony with  the  opinion  of  several  American  writers,  who  state  that 
the  name  of  the  town  of  Duxbury  in  the  Plymouth  Colony  was 
derived  from  Duxbury  in  Lancashire  and  was  given  to  the  New 
Bkigland  town  because  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish's  connection  with 
Duxbury  Hall.*  The  late  Justin  Winsor  wrote:  "It  [the  town  of 
Duxbury]  received  the  name  of  Duxbury  out  of  respect  to  Captain 
Standish,  from  Duxbury  Hall,  the  seat  of  the  Standish  family  in 
England"  (History  of  Duxbury,  p.  11);  but  that  this  was  merely 
Mr.  Winsor's  personal  opinion,  unsupported  by  evidence,  may  be 
inferred  from  another  statement  by  him,  that  this  "imdoubtedly  is 
the  origin  of  the  name  of  the  New  England  town"  (t6.,  p.  12),  and  by 
his  expression  of  dissent  from  the  opinion  of  an  anonymous  writer 
in  Mass,  Hist,  Soc.  CoU.,  vol.  2,  p.  4,  who  as  early  as  1793  wrote: 
**The  probable  etymology  [of  the  name  of  the  New  Epgland  town] 
is  Dux  and  borough,  or  biurow,  as  it  was  then  written.  It  being  a 
grant  to  the  Captain  or  Leader,  it  was  called  his  borough."  This 
same  anonymous  writer,  though  he  records  that  ''Capt.  Standish 
....  was  bom  in  Lancashire  in  England,  and  was  heir  apparent 
to  a  great  estate,"  adds  to  his  explanation  of  the  name  of  the  town 
the  significant  footnote:  "Many  towns  in  Plymouth  Colony  are 
called  after  places  in  England,  from  which  the  fii^  settlers  came. 
Though  there  is  a  town  of  this  name  in  England,  it  is  said,  that  no 
persons,  who  first  came  to  Plymouth,  were  from  that  place."  The 
late  William  Henry  Whitmore,  in  his  "Essay  on  the  Origin  of  the 
Names  of  Towns  in  Massachusetts,"  Boston,  1873,  p.  17  (reprinted 
from  Mass,  Hist.  Soc,  Proceedings,  vol.  12),  says  that  Duxbury  was 
named  "in  compliment  to  the  Standishes  of  Duxbury  Hall;  to  which 
family  Miles  Standish  probably  claimed  relationship."  But  al- 
though Capt.  Myles  was  one  of  the  leading  men  in  the  new  settlement 
and  was  a  member  of  a  committee  to  fix  boundaries  between  Plym- 
outh and  Duxbury,  it  ought  not  to  be  taken  for  granted  that  the 
name  was  his  choice;  and  even  if  he  did  choose  the  name,  it  does  not 
necessarily  follow  that  Duxbury  in  England  was  his  birthplace  or 
the  home  of  his  family.  It  is  possible  that  he  gave  the  name  Duxbury 
to  the  town  in  the  Plymouth  Colony  in  honor  of  the  Park  held  by  an 
important  branch  of  the  Standishes  in  Lancashire.    To  the  writer,

however,  it  seems  that  the  facts  given  in  the  preceding  paragraph  in 
regard  to  the  lands  held  by  the  Standishes  of  Duxbury  and  those 
mentioned  in  Capt.  Myles's  will  are  of  greater  weight  as  evidence 
than  the  conjectures  of  American  writers  as  to  the  origin  of  the  name 
of  the  New  Bkigland  town. 

Before  leaving  the  subject  of  Capt.  Myles's  connection  with  the 
Standishes  of  Duxbury,  it  may  be  well  to  refer  to  statements  that 
have  been  made  about  an  alleged  mutilation  of  the  page  in  the  parish 
register  of  Chorley,  co.  Lancaster,  which  is  supposed  by  some  to  have 
contained  the  record  of  his  baptism. 

On  17  Aug.  1871  a  piece  of  ground  on  Captain's  Hill  in  the  New 
England  Duxbury  was  consecrated  as  the  future  site  of  the  imposing 
monument  to  Standish  which  now  rises  high  on  that  headland. 
Gen.  Horace  Binney  Sargent  was  the  orator  of  the  day,  and  in  the* 
course  of  his  tribute  to  the  famous  Pilgrim  captain  he  declared:  "To 
defeat  the  title  of  his  line  to  lands  in  England,  the  rent-roll  of  which 
is  half  a  million  per  annum,  the  hand  of  fraud  is  supposed  to  have 
defaced  the  page  that  contained  the  parish  record  of  his  birth." 
(Myles  Standish,  with  an  Account  of  the  Exercises  of  Consecration 
of  the  Monument  Ground  on  Captain's  Hill,  Boston,  1871,  p.  24.) 

In  Winsor's  "History  of  Duxbury,"  Boston,  1849,  pp.  96-97,  may 
be  found  the  following  account  of  an  attempt  on  the  part  of  the 
descendants  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish  to  investigate  his  clsdm  to 
estates  in  England:* 

"In  the  fall  of  1846,  an  association  was  formed  among  the  de- 
scendants of  Capt.  Standish  for  the  purpose  of  making  investigations, 
and  upwards  of  $3000  were  furnished  to  their  agent,  I.  W.  R.  Brom- 
ley, Esq.,  who  started  on  his  mission  in  November  of  that  year,  and 
returned  in  October  of  the  following  year,  without  however  accom- 
plishing the  object  of  his  search.  I  have  been  favored  with  the 
perusal  of  some  of  his  correspondence  with  the  Corresponding  Secre- 
tary of  the  Association,  and  some  brief  minutes  which  I  have  gleaned 
from  them  may  not  be  uninteresting.  The  property,  to  which  it  was 
his  object  to  prove  the  right  of  Capt.  Standish,  comprises  large  tracts 
of  rich  farming  lands,  including  several  valuable  coal  mines,  and 
produces  a  yearly  income  of  £100,000  or  more.  From  a  commission, 
which  was  found,  appointing  Standish  to  a  lieutenancy  in  Her 
Majesty's  forces  on  the  continent,  the  date  of  his  birth  was  found, 
as  also  from  incidents  of  his  life  in  New  England,  which  have  now 
become  a  portion  of  her  history,  and  from  other  data  in  the  posses- 
sion of  his  descendants,  which  all  led  to  the  conclusion  that  the  year 
1684  [sic,  1584]  must  have  been  that  of  his  birth.  The  family  seats 
are  situated  near  the  village  of  Chorley  in  Lancashire,  and  the  records 
of  this  parish  were  thoroughly  investigated  from  the  year  1549  to 
1652.  And  here  in  connection  comes  an  incident  in  the  researches 
of  Mr.  Bromley,  which  deserves  particular  attention,  and  causes  the 
fair  conclusion,  that  Standish  was  the  true  and  rightful  heir  to  the 
estates,  and  that  they  were  truly  'surreptitiously  detidned'  from  him, 
and  are  now  enjoyed  by  those,  to  whom  they  do  not  justly  belong. 

*  Mr.  WiDsor  states  also  that  there  had  been  "several  attempts"  for  the  recovery 
of  the  property.

The  records  were  all  readily  deciphered,  with  the  exception  of  the 
years  1584  and  1585,  the  very  dates,  about  which  time  Standish  is 
supposed  to  have  been  bom;  and  the  parchment  leaf  which  contained 
the  registers  of  the  births  of  these  years  was  wholly  illegible,  and  their 
appearance  was  such,  that  the  conclusion  was  at  once  established, 
that  it  had  been  done  purposely  with  piunice  stone  or  otherwise,  to 
destroy  the  legal  evidence  of  the  parentage  of  Standish,  and  his 
consequent  title  to  the  estates  thereabout.  The  mutilation  of  these 
pages  is  supposed  to  have  been  accomplished,  when  about  twenty 
years  before,  similar  inquiries  were  made  by  the  family  in  America. 
The  rector  of  the  parish,  when  afterwards  requested  by  the  investiga- 
tor to  certify  that  the  pages  were  gone,  at  once  suspected  his  design 
of  discovering  the  title  to  the  property,  and  taking  advantage  of  the 
rigor  of  the  law,  (as  he  had  entered  as  an  antiquarian  researcher 
merely,)  compelled  him  to  pay  the  sum  of  about  £15,  or  suffer 
imprisonment. 

''As  it  was  said  that  the  Captain  married  his  first  wife  in  the  Isle 
of  Man,  this  island  was  visited  with  hopes  of  discovering  there  his 
marriage  registered,  but  without  success,  as  no  records  of  a  date  early 
enough  were  to  be  foxmd.  And  thus  it  will  be  seen  that  on  accoimt 
of  the  destruction  of  all  legal  proof,  the  property  must  remain  forever 
hopelessly  irrecoverable." 

Winsor's  "History  of  Duxbury"  was  published  in  1849,  very  soon 
after  Mr.  Bromley's  imsuccessful  investigations  in  England.  In 
Goodwin's  "The  Pilgrhn  Republic,"  Boston,  1888,  p.  452,  the  story 
appears  in  part  as  follows:  "It  was  foimd  that  .  .  .  the  leaf  for 
1684-5,  in  the  Chorley  parish-register,  had  been  piuniced  so  carefully 
as  to  leave  no  trace  of  the  writing,  though  the  record  is  otherwise 
complete  from  1549  to  1652.  This  defaced  page  is  not  even  now 
open  to  inspection  .  .  .  the  rector,  finding  him  [Bromley]  searching 
for  Standish's  birth,  arrested  him  under  some  ancient  law,  and  en- 
forced on  him  a  fine  of  about  £75,  with  the  alternative  of  imprison- 
ment; and  he  even  refused  to  certify  that  the  register  is  illegible  at 
that  point.  The  incumbent  of  Chorley  seems  to  act  as  watch-dog 
for  a  patron  who  doubts  the  soundness  of  his  titles." 

The  defect  in  the  register  is  a  fact;  but  the  story  of  the  fine  puts 
a  strain  on  one's  credulity,*  and  the  suggestion  of  fraudulent  erasure 
is  remarkable.  Why  delete  the  record  of  several  months  to  blot  out 
one  entry?  The  method  would  be  far  from  economical.  Besides, 
no  person  has  ever  testified  to  having  seen  the  baptismal  entry  in  the 
Chorley  register  before.the  alleged  defacement;  there  is  no  proof  that 
it  ever  was  there.  The  state  of  the  Chorley  parish  register  is  not 
accurately  described  in  these  reports.  The  fact  is  that  the  top  of 
page  39  has  been  torn  off,  and  that  in  other  parts  of  the  same  page  the 
writing  cannot  be  deciphered.  This  page  39  contains  a  portion  only 
of  the  entries  for  1584,  the  alleged  date  of  Capt.  Myles's  birth.  The 
two  pages  inmaediately  preceding  contain  baptismal  entries  for  the 
early  part  of  the  year,  down  to  and  including  8  May,  and  these  are 

*  Dr.  Mylee  Staodiah  of  Boston  informs  the  editor  of  the  Rxoistbb  that  Bromley 
merely  claimed  that  he  was  threatened  with  a  fine.  It  will  be  noticed  that  the  £15  of 
Mr.  Winaor's  narrative  has  become  £75  (instead  of  $75)  in  Mr.  Goodwin's  book. 


350  Ancestry  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish  [Oct 

quite  readable.  Nor  is  the  torn  page  altogether  illegible.  In  the 
entries  thereon  for  May,  June,  and  July  no  names  of  persons  can  be 
read.  In  July  and  August  fragments  can  be  deciphered,  while  from 
23  Sept.  to  the  end  of  the  year  almost  all  is  distinguishable.  Althou^ 
all  of  the  record  for  1585  is  not  legible,  enough  can  be  deciphered  to 
show  that  no  baptism  of  a  boy  named  Myles  is  entered  under  that 
year.  It  is  inaccurate  to  say,  as  Goodwin  does,  that  ''the  record  is 
otherwise  complete  from  1549  to  1652."  There  are  many  gaps  in 
the  register,  the  most  serious  being  the  lack  of  any  entries  for  the 
years  1553-1556  inclusive  and  1599-1611  inclusive.  Mice  and  damp 
have  wrought  great  havoc  in  other  pages.  Neglect  in  the  remote 
past  rather  than  fraud  is  responsible  for  the  difficulties  of  the  tran- 
scriber. (Cf .  The  Registers  of  the  Parish  Church  of  Chorley,  pub- 
lished by  the  Lancashire  Parish  Register  Society,  1910.)* 

In  sending  Mr.  Bromley  to  investigate  their  claims  to  Standish 
lands,  the  Standish  descendants  in  America  had,  no  doubt,  the 
Duxbury  Park  estates  in  mind;  for  Frank  Hall  Standish  had  died 
in  1840  and  had  been  succeeded  by  a  second  cousin,  William  Standish 
Carr,  who  assum^  the  name  of  Standish.  When  Mr.  Bromley 
arrived  at  Chorley  he  would  naturally  be  received  with  suspicion. 
The  disturbances  of  1813-14  would  be  still  remembered.  For,  after 
the  death  of  the  last  baronet  in  1812,  one  Thomas  Standish,  a  weaver 
or  collier  of  Blackrod,  with  a  party  of  colliers,  took  possession  (4  June 
1813)  of  Duxbury  Hall,  claiming  that  he  was  lawful  heir.  (Cf. 
Preston  Guardian,  15  Jime  1901.)  Though  he  was  evicted  by  a  troop 
of  dragoons,  tried,  and  sent  to  Lancaster  gaol,  yet  popular  sympathy 
was  on  his  side,  and  for  long  afterwards  demonstrations  were  made 
in  his  favor.  No  doubt  certain  claims  of  this  kind  would  be  revived 
when  Frank  Hall  Standish  died  unmarried  in  1840. '  These  disputes 
might  accoimt  for  the  discouragement  Mr.  Bromley  received  when 
he  went  to  consult  the  Chorley  parish  regbter  in  beh^  of  the  descend- 
ants of  Capt.  Myles  Standish.  As  far  as  the  Duxbury  Park  estates 
are  concerned,  Capt.  Myles  did  not  mention  Duxbmy  in  his  will,  but 
he  did  claim  something  else  which  the  Standishes  of  Duxbury  never 


It  seems  probable,  therefore,  that  Capt.  Myles  Standish  was  not 
a  great-great-grandson  of  the  squire  of  Standish  or  of  the  squire  of 
Duxbury.  So  much  for  negative  conclusions.  But  there  is  good 
evidence  that  he  was  connected  with  another  family  of  the  name, 
viz.,  the  family  of  Standish  of  Ormskirk;  for,  as  has  already  been 
stated,  the  Ormskirk  Standishes  had  an  estate  in  the  very  Lancashire 
townships  mentioned  in  the  Captain's  will,  and  probably  nowhare 
else,  and  in  the  time  of  Myles  an  offshoot  of  this  Ormskirk  branch 
was  settled  in  the  Ide  of  Man.  From  the  copies  of  deeds,  collected 
by  the  present  writer  and  numbered  by  him,t  with  a  few  references 

*  Dr.  Mylee  Standish  states  that  in  1912  it  was  entirely  plain  to  him  that  the  defect 
in  the  Chorley  register  was  due  to  an  erasure.  The  writer,  however*  calls  attentioD  to 
the  fact  that  many  other  pages  present  the  same  appearance  as  p.  39,  and  in  his  judt- 
ment  this  may  be  due  to  wear  while  in  a  damp  condition.  The  editors  of  the  tranaerip- 
tion  make  no  mention  of  erasure.  The  register  has  been  cleverly  restored  (the  torn 
pages  having  boen  mended  with  new  parchment)  and  splendidly  bound.

to  other  eources,  it  is  now  pos&able  to  give  some  account  of  this 
family. 

The  first  member  of  the  family  whom  the  writer  has  been  able 
to  trace  is  William  Standish  of  Ormskirk,  who  was  concerned  in  law- 
suits in  1444  and  1446.  About  the  same  time  or  a  little  earlier  a 
Huan  Standish  is  found;  and  if  Huan  is  equivalent  to  Ewan  and 
Evan  {Vanus),  these  two  men  may  be  the  father  and  son  who  are 
mentioned  in  a  deed  of  1481  {vide  infra.  Deeds,  no.  1).  Huan 
Standish  was  a  witness  at  Ormskirk  on  the  Feast  of  the  Puri- 
fication of  the  Blessed  Vu-gin  Mary,  15  Henry  VI  [2  Feb.  1436/7]. 
(Towneley  MSS.,  DD.  210,  241.)  Ewan  (?Huan)  Standish  was 
witness  to  an  oath  in  Ormskirk  church  in  1446.  Another  witness 
was  one  Thomas  Crofte  of  Ormskirk,  yeoman,  a  man  of  credence, 
good  name  and  fame,  and  above  80  years  of  age.  This  is  interesting, 
as  the  Standish  and  Croft  families  aiterwards  intermarried.  (Scaris- 
brick  Charters,  no.  162,  in  Transactions  of  the  Historic  Society  of 
Lancashire  and  Cheshire,  N.S.,  vol.  14.)  A  third  member  of  the 
family,  Hugh  (Hugo),  was  prominent  in  the  locality  somewhat  later. 
Hugh  Standish  of  Ormskirk,  gent.,  was  accused  of  breaking  into  the 
closes  of  Henry  Atherton,  who  had  lands  in  Bickerstaflfe,  Burscough, 
Ormgkirk,  etc.  The  case  was  tried  in  Lent,  16  Edward  IV  [1476/7]. 
(Lancaster  Plea  Rolls,  no.  44.)  Hugh  Standish  of  Ormskirk,  gent., 
was  also  accused  with  Elizabeth  Fletcher,  widow,  and  WUliam 
Fletcher,  of  having  disseised  James  Ormskirk.  He  was  tried  in 
Lent,  23  Edward  IV  [1483].  (Lancaster  Plea  Rolls,  no.  57,  m.  15d.) 
He  appears  to  have  varied  these  lively  proceedings  with  acts  of  piety; 
for  Thomas,  Earl  of  Derbv,  and  others  founded  a  chantry  at  the 
altar  of  Owe  Lady  in  Ormskirk  church,  at  some  time  during  the  lat- 
ter half  of  the  ftfteenth  century,  and  among  the  foimders  appears 
the  name  of  Hugh  Standish.  The  chantry  was  endowed  with  lands 
in  Aughton  and  Ormskirk.  (Valor  Ecclesiasticus,  vol.  5,  p.  223, 
published  by  the  Record  Commission;  Victoria  Coimty  Histories, 
Lancashire,  vol.  3,  p.  246,  note.)  It  may  perhaps  be  conjectured 
that  Hugh  was  a  younger  son  of  William  Standish  and  that  his  elder 
brother  Huan  or  Evan  renounced  his  rights  because  he  had  left  the 
locality. 

The  first  reference  to  the  family  estate  occurs  in  1481,  when  only 
two  places,  Ormskirk  and  Newbiu^h,  are  mentioned.  The  mes- 
suages, lands,  tenements,  rents,  and  services  there  were  on  20  May, 
21  Edward  IV  [1481],  in  possession  of  the  Hugh  already  referred  to, 
and  a  certain  Evan  (Vanus)  Standish  of  Warrington,  son  of  William 
Standish,  deceased,  released  to  Hugh  all  his  right  and  claim  to  them. 
Hamo  (?  Thomas)  Atherton,  Esq.,  GeoflFrey  Hulme,  Gilbert  Gerard, 
and  others  were  witnesses  to  this  quitclaim  deed.  (Vide  infra, 
Deeds,  no.  1.) 

Twenty  years  afterwards  the  family  estate  was  held  by  Gilbert 
Standish  of  Ormskirk,  gentleman.  By  a  deed  dated  at  Ormskirk 
11  Jime,  17  Henry  VII  [1502],  the  estate,  now  described  as  messuages, 
cottages,  lands,  and  tenements,  with  appurtenances,  was  settled  on 
Gilbert  for  life,  with  remainder  to  Robert  Standish,  his  son  and  heir, 
and  the  heirs  of  the  said  Robert  and  Margaret  Croft,  dai^ter  and 


352  AnceOry  of  Capt.  Mylea  Sktndish  [Oct, 

heir  of  Robert  Croft.*  Ormskirk  and  Newburgh  are  still  the  (mly 
two  places  named  where  lands  are  held.  Tins  settlement  was 
witnessed  by  Sir  Henry  Halsall,  Knight,  Thomas  Hesketh,  Esq., 
Thomas  Atherton,  Esq.,  and  others.  Peter  Gerard  and  Richard 
Hulme,  clerks,  were  feoflfees.    (Deeds,  no.  2.) 

The  prior  and  canons  of  Burscough  had  lands  in  Ormskirk,  and 
from  their  rentals  we  learn  that  the  Standish  family  of  Ormskirk  held 
part  at  least  of  their  land  there  from  the  Priory.  In  the  rental  for 
the  year  1524  "the  widow  of  Robert  Standish"  appears  as  a  tenant. 
We  may  deduce  from  this  that  Robert,  son  of  Gilbert,  had  died  before 
this  time;  and,  possibly,  that  his  heir  was  a  minor  and  that  the  land 
was  held  in  his  mother's  name.  (Duchy  of  Lancaster  Rentals, 
bimdle  5,  no.  16.) 

The  brief  of  a  rental  of  the  lands  of  Margaret  Standish,  Robert's 
widow,  shows  that  in  1529  the  estate  was  located  not  only  in  Ormskirk 
and  Newburgh,  as  formerly,  but  in  Burscough,  Croston,  Mawdesley, 
and  Wrightington  as  well.  We  may  perhaps  surmise  that  the  lands 
in  these  four  latter  townships  came  from  the  Croft  family  by  Mar- 
garet's marriage  with  Robert  Standish.  No  details  are  given  in 
the  rental,  but  only  the  total  sum,  which  is,  "except  libo  redd,"  £3. 
12s.  lOd.  (Deeds,  no.  3.)  The  sum  is  not  a  very  large  one,  even 
allowing  for  the  different  value  of  modem  money.  We  have  no 
means  of  deciding  whether  it  represents  the  rents  of  the  whole  estate, 
or  only  of  the  tMrd  part  usually  held  by  the  widow.  But  for  the 
first  time  all  the  Lancashire  townships  mentioned  by  Capt.  Myles 
Standish  in  his  will  are  named  in  conjimction  with  the  family  of 
Standish  of  Ormskirk. 

There  is  a  gap  at  this  period  in  the  records  of  this  family;  but  in 
1539  a  Thomas  Standish  is  foimd  in  possession  of  the  estate,  and  his 
wife  Jane  or  Joan  is  mentioned.  On  18  July  1539  Thomas  Standish 
of  Ormskirk  mortgaged  or  sold  for  £10  a  messuage  and  lands  in 
Wrightington,  of  the  clear  value  of  16s.  over  all  manner  of  charges 
which  Jane,  wife  of  the  said  Thomas,  had  in  the  said  tenement. 
Nevertheless,  if  Thomas  or  his  heirs  should  wish  to  buy  back  the 
premises,  they  might  do  so  on  due  warning  and  repayment  within 
ten  years.  George  Nelson,  the  purchaser,  entered  into  a  bond  to 
keep  true  to  these  indentures.  Four  years  afterwards  a  messuage 
in  Wrightington  in  mortgage  was  siurendered  to  Thomas  Standish 
of  Ormskirk  by  George  Nelson.  The  tenants  had  been  Williiun 
Hesketh  and  Alice  Robinson.     (Deeds,  nos.  4,  5,  6,  8,  9.) 

On  7  July,  32  Henry  VIII  [1540],  a  family  settlement  was  made, 
the  record  of  which  is  perhaps  the  most  important  deed  yet  dis- 
covered, for  it  names  not  only  Thomas  Standish  of  Ormskirk,  but 
his  two  brothers,  John  and  Huan,  and  in  addition  his  own  daughter 
Anne.  In  the  feoffment  Thomas  gave  his  messuages,  lands,  tene- 
ments, rents,  reversions,  services,  and  all  hereditam^ts  whatsoever 
in  Ormskirk,  Burscough,  Wrightington,  Newburgh,  Mawdesley,  and 
Croston,  or  elsewhere  in  the  Coimty  of  Lancaster,  to  trustees,  the 
first  of  whom  was  the  rector  of  Aughton.    The  estate  was  for  the

use  of  Thomas  himself  for  his  life,  and  afterwards  during  five  years 
for  the  use  of  Anne  his  daughter,  provided  always  that  if  John,  the 
brother  of  Thomas,  or  anyone  else  who  was  next  heir  to  Thomas, 
paid  Anne  £20,  the  trustees  were  to  hold  the  estate  for  the  use  of 
John  or  the  next  heir.  After  the  five  years  the  estate  was  to  be  held 
for  the  use  of  the  right  heir  of  Thomas  legitimately  begotten;  in 
default,  for  the  use  of  John,  the  brother  already  mentioned,  and  his 
legitimate  heirs;  in  default,  for  the  use  of  Huan,  brother  of  the 
aforesaid  Thomas,  and  the  heirs  of  Huan.  This  settlement  was 
sealed  by  Thomas  Standish.  Those  who  afterwards  sold  the  estate 
may  have  infringed  this  trust,  and  it  is  very  probable  that  Capt. 
Myles  Standish  claimed  lands  by  virtue  of  the  remainders  in  this 
very  deed.     (Deeds,  no.  7.) 

In  1643  a  person  appeared  on  the  scene  who  was  destined  to  have 
a  fateful  influence  on  the  fortunes  of  Standish  of  Ormskirk.  This 
was  a  gentleman  named  William  Stopford,  sometimes  described  as 
of  Merton,  or  Martin  in  Burscough,  and  later  as  of  Bispham  (the 
Bispham  near  Burscough),  a  township  in  Croston  parish.  He  was 
at  one  time  secretary  to  the  Earl  of  Derby,  and  is  probably  the 
William  Stopford  who  farmed  Eccleston  rectory  in  Leyland  hundred, 
and  whose  gravestone,  dated  1584,  may  be  seen  in  Eccleston  church- 
yard. He  was  evidently  a  man  of  wealth  and  influence,  and  he  seems 
to  have  acquired  in  parcels  part,  and  perhaps  all,  of  the  estate  of  the 
Standishes  of  Ormskirk.  The  transfer  began  in  the  time  of  the 
Thomas  Standish  already  mentioned. 

On  10  May,  35  Henry  VIII  [1543],  Thomas  Standish,  for  divers 
considerations  and  £10,  sold  (ad  opus  imperpetuum)  to  WUliam  Stop- 
ford of  Merton  all  his  messuages  in  Wrightington,  lately  in  the 
tenure  of  William  Hesketh,  Adice  Robinson,  and  Robert  Finch.  An 
annual  rent  of  7s.  was  to  be  paid  to  Thomas  and  his  heirs  at  Pente- 
cost and  at  the  Feast  of  St.  Martin,  in  equal  portions.  Thomas 
appointed  Richard  Mason  of  Lathom  and  Richard  Prescot  as 
attorneys  to  deliver  possession,  and  was  boimd  in  £60  to  Stopford 
to  keep  the  covenant  made.  (Deeds,  nos.  10,  11.)  It  was  probably 
this  annual  rent  of  7s.  from  holdings  in  Wrightington  that  Thomas 
Standish  of  Ormskirk  granted  to  William  Stopford  for  the  sum  of 
£5.  3s.  4d.  on  24  Apr.,  37  Henry  VIII  [1545].    (Deeds,  nos.  12,  13.) 

Ill  fortime  was  evidently  dogging  the  steps  of  Thomas  Standish. 
He  was  parting  with  his  estate,  and  moreover  he  was  imhappy  in  his 
d(Hne8tic  Ufe.  In  1558  (1548  is  crossed  out  in  Piccope's  transcript) 
this  latter  trouble  reached  its  culmination,  for  on  20  Nov.  in  that 
year  John  Hanson,  M.A.,  Archdeacon  of  Richmond,  pronounced 
sentence  of  divorce  between  Thomas  Standish  of  Ormskirk  parish 
and  Jane  (Joanna)  Stanley,  otherwise  Standish,  of  the  same  parish. 
The  reason  given  for  the  divorce  was  that  Thomas  was  not  9  years 
old  and  Jane  not  11  years  old  when  they  were  married.  (Deeds, 
no.  14.) 

This  sad  event  is  the  last  we  hear  of  poor  Thomas  Standish.  There 
is  another  gap  in  the  records,  but  in  the  course  of  time  his  son  and 
successor  Hugh  Standish  is  foimd  in  possession  of  the  estates.  On 
20  Nov.,  9  Elizabeth  [1566],  Hugh  Standish,  late  of  Wigan,  gentle-

man,  son  and  heir  of  Thomas  Standish  of  Ormskirk,  surr^iders  his 
right  and  claim  to  a  messuage  in  Wrightingtoni  in  the  tenure  of 
Margaret  Hesketh,  widow,  and  Robert  Hesketh,  to  William  Stop- 
ford  of  Bispham.  (Deeds,  no.  15.)  This  refers  to  the  land  sold  by 
his  father,  and  we  may  infer  that  Thomas  had  recently  died  and  had 
been  succeeded  by  Hugh.  Jane  (Joanna)  Standish,  widow  of  Thomas 
Standish  late  of  Ormskirk,  probably  the  divorced  Jane,  appears 
again  on  10  Aug.  1569,  when  she  quitclaims  to  her  son  Hugh  (Hugo) 
idl  right  and  claLn  that  ever  she  had  in  all  messuages,  burgages,  lands, 
and  tenements  in  Ormskirk,  Burscough,  Newbui^,  or  el^where  in 
the  coimty.  A  few  days  afterwards,  14  Aug.  1569,  Hugh  granted  to 
his  mother  Jane  for  life  an  annuity  of  40s.  out  of  all  his  messuages, 
biu^ages,  lands,  and  tenements  in  Ormskirk.    (Deeds,  nos.  16,  17.) 

Hugh  now  began  a  series  of  transactions  with  William  Stopford  in 
which  the  estate  of  Standish  of  Ormskirk  seems  to  have  been  bartered 
away.  By  a  final  concord  made  at  Lancaster  on  Monday  in  the  fourth 
week  of  Lent,  12  Elizabeth  [1570],  he  sold  or  mortgaged  to  William 
Stopford  and  Roger  Sonkey,  for  £140,  3  messuages,  4  cottages,  4  or- 
chards, 26  acres  of  land,  5  acres  of  pasture,  4  acres  of  meadow,  40  acres 
of  moor,  and  8  acres  of  turbary  in  Wrightington,  Newburgh,  Ormsldrki 
and  Burscough.  Hugh  granted  them  to  William  and  Roger  and  to 
the  heirs  of  William.  (Deeds,  no.  18.)  About  a  year  later,  on  12  Feb., 
13  Elizabeth  [1570/1],  we  find  Hu^  Standish  of  Ormskh-k,  gent., 
leasing  land  in  Ormskirk  for  twenty-one  years  to  William  Heiton  of 
Birchley,  Esq.  (Deeds,  no.  19.)  On  8  Mar.,  13  Elizabeth  [1570/1], 
Hugh  Standish,  son  of  Thomas  Standish,  deceased,  granted  for 
£66.  13s.  4d.  to  William  Stopford  of  Bispham  all  those  messuages, 
lands,  tenements,  rents,  services,  and  hereditaments  whatsoever, 
which  were  his  in  Ormskirk.  (Deeds,  no.  20.)  On  13  June,  13 
Elizabeth  [1571],  Hugh  was  boimd  in  an  immense  sum  for  those 
days,  £200,  to  William  Stopford,  to  keep  covenants  specified  in 
indentures  relating  to  Hugh's  land  ''in  the  town  of  Ormsldrk.'' 
(Deeds,  no.  21.)  A  final  concord  was  also  made  between  them  on  the 
Monday  after  the  Feast  of  St.  Bartholomew  [Aug.  1571],  concerning 
tenements  in  Ormskirk.  Hugh  granted  to  William  6  messuages 
there  and  4  cottages,  10  tofts,  6  gardens,  6  orchards,  12  acres  of  land, 
4  acres  of  meadow,  10  acres  of  pasture,  1  acre  of  wood,  and  5  acres  of 
moor.  But  William  regranted  to  Hugh  for  life  part  of  the  said 
tenements,  viz.,  4  messuages,  2  tofts,  3  gardens,  3  orchards,  6  acres 
of  land,  2  acres  of  meadow,  and  4  acres  of  pasture.    (Deeds,  no.  22.) 

William  Stopford  now  niade  it  his  care  to  secure  the  consent  and 
quitclaim  of  those  interested  in  the  estate  of  Standish  of  Ormskirk 
in  respect  to  these  bargains  with  Hugh.  The  most  interesting 
release  is  that  given  by  John  Standish  of  the  Isle  of  Man,  evidently 
the  uncle  of  Hugh,  that  is  to  say,  the  brother  of  his  father  Thomas 
Standish.  John  has  already  been  mentioned  in  the  settlement  made 
in  1540,  when  a  remainder  was  vested  in  him.  And  the  release  given 
by  him  is  highly  important,  since  it  shows  that  at  least  one  member 
of  the  family  of  Standish  of  Ormskirk  settled  in  the  Isle  of  Man,  thus 
making  more  probable  the  view  taken  by  the  writer  that  Capt.  Myles 
Standish  belonged  to  this  branch.    It  also  suggests,  in  the  opinion 


1914]  Ancestry  of  Capt.  Mylea  Standish  356 

of  the  writer,  the  direction  in  which  we  should  look  for  the  father  and 
mother  of  Myles.  In  a  deed,  dated  1572,  John  Standish  of  the  Isle 
of  Man,  for  divers  considerations  and  sums  of  money  paid  him  by 
William  Stopford  of  Bispham,  releases  to  the  latter  all  his  rights  in 
all  those  messuages,  lands,  and  tenements  which  lately  were  in  the 
possession  of  Robert  Standish,  late  of  Ormskirk,  and  all  those  mes- 
suages, lands,  and  tenements  which  William  Stopford  has  by  the  ^t 
and  feoffment  of  Hugh  Standish,  late  of  Ormskirk,  son  and  heir  of 
Thomas  deceased.  The  lands,  etc.,  were  in  the  vills  or  hamlets  of 
Ormskirk  and  Wrightington.  (Deeds,  no.  23.)  In  another  deed, 
which  is  dated  20  Apr.  1572,  and  is  probably  a  duplicate  differently 
abstracted,  the  lands,  etc.,  are  described  as  lately  in  the  possession  of 
Thomas  Standish,  late  of  Ormskirk,  gentleman,  and  as  lying  in  the 
vills  of  Ormskirk,  Wrightmgton,  Parbold,  Croston,  and  Mawdesley. 
Parbold  is  perhaps  a  mistake  for  Newburgh.  Another  place,  ''Eer- 
schagh,''  appears  in  the  marginal  heading,  and  may  be  an  error  for 
Burscough.    (Deeds,  no.  24.) 

On  3  Oct.,  14  Elizabeth  [1572],  Hugh  Standish  sold  to  William 
Stopford  the  Mersers  Field  in  Ormskirk.  (Deeds,  no.  25.)  A 
furtiier  grant  and  concession  is  dated  29  Jan.,  18  Elizabeth  [1575/6]; 
in  this  deed  Ormskirk  only  is  mentioned,  but  the  bargaining  away  of 
the  family  interest  there  would  seem  to  be  comprehensive  and  abso- 
lute. Hugh  Standish,  late  of  Wigan,  gentleman  (the  reversion  to 
the  old  description  is  noteworthy),  grants  to  William  Stopford  of 
Bispham,  gentleman,  all  and  singular  those  messuages,  hmds,  tene- 
ments, rents,  services,  and  whatsoever  hereditaments  he  holds  in  the 
vill  of  Ormddrk.  He  also  concedes  any  claim  that  he  has  in  the 
premises  for  the  term  of  his  life  or  for  a  term  of  years.  He  makes 
Roger  Sonky  and  Reginald  Mason  attorneys  to  deliver  possession. 
(Deeds,  no.  26.) 

The  Jane  or  Joan  Standish  who  was  divorced  from  Thomas  her 
husband  now  appears  on  the  scene  again,  but  imder  a  different  name. 
She  has  evidently  married  again,  and  been  left  a  widow  a  second 
time.  She  also  has  been  persuaded  by  Stopford  to  renounce  any 
clidm  to  the  estate  he  has  purchased.  The  quitclaim  deed,  which 
is  dated  3  May,  18  Elizabetii  [1576],  is  in  English;  and  by  it  Joan 
Scott  of  Wigan,  widow,  who  stands  endowed  of  the  third  part  of  all 
the  messuages,  etc.,  within  the  town  of  Ormskirk  that  were  the 
possessions  of  Thomas  Standish,  sometime  her  husband,  or  of  Hugh 
Standish  her  son,  grants,  for  certain  sums  of  money,  imto  William 
Stopford  of  Bisphajn  and  his  heirs  for  ever  all  her  estate,  right,  and 
demand  in  the  said  premises.    (Deeds,  no.  27.) 

Yet  another  person  gave  up  all  claim  to  the  estate  in  Ormskirk. 
The  deed  leaves  us  to  guess  whether  his  interest  had  come  through 
bis  wife,  and  if  so,  who  she  was.  On  12  Sept.,  19  Elizabeth  [1577], 
a  certain  Bichard  Mosse  of  Ormskirk  granted  aU  right  and  claim  that 
ever  he  had  in  all  the  messuages,  lands,  etc.,  in  Ormskirk  that  were 
lately  the  possessions  of  Hugh  Standish  or  of  Thomas  Standish  his 
father.    (Deeds,  no.  28.) 

Thus,  long  before  the  birth  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish,  a  great  part, 
at  any  rate,  of  the  estate  of  the  Standish  family  of  Ormskirk  had  been 
VOL.  ixvm.        23 


356  .     Andestry  of  Capt.  Myles  StandUi  [Oct* 

alienated.*  It  is  unlikely,  however,  that  Hugh  parted  with  the 
'  whole  of  his  estate.  The  parish  registers  of  Onnskirk  show  that 
descendants  of  Hugh  remained  in  the  locality  for  a  long  time.  A 
Hugh  Standish  is  prominent  in  the  registers;  and,  if  he  be  the  one 
mentioned  above,  he  must  have  been  yoimg  when  (about  1666)  he 
inherited  the  estate  and  began  bartering  it  away.  Several  children 
of  Hugh  were  baptized  at  Onnskirk — Ann  in  1591,  Edith  in  1592, 
Jane  in  1595,  and  one  without  name  in  1599.  A  child  of  Hugh  was 
buried  m  1600.  Hugh  Standish  himself  was  buried  10  Dec.  1606  in 
the  high  chancel,  an  honor  connnonly  reserved  for  benefactors.  It 
will  be  recalled  that  his  ancestor  had  contributed  to  the  founding  of 
a  chantry.  A  Grace  Standish  was  buried  in  the  high  chancel  in  1620- 
Many  other  Standishes  are  named  in  the  re^sters. 

One  might  naturally  expect  to  find  in  the  Onnskirk  registers  the 
baptismal  record  of  Myles  Standish,  but  it  is  not  there.  The  regis- 
ters, however,  are  defective,  like  those  of  Chorley,  a  fact  to  which 
further  reference  will  be  made.  But  Capt.  Myles  was  probably  not  a 
son  of  the  Hugh  who  sold  the  estates;  for  this  Hugh  does  not  appear 
to  have  held  lands  in  the  Isle  of  Man,  and  his  successor  at  Onnskirk 
seems  to  have  been  a  Henry  Standish.  Nor  did  Thomas,  Hugh's 
father,  claim  any  Manx  estate. 

Now  if  Myles  Standish  was  not  a  descendant  of  Thomas  Standish, 
the  father  of  Hugh,  attention  is  naturtdly  directed  to  the  two  brothers 
of  Thomas  mentioned  in  the  latter's  settlement  of  1540,  namely,  John 
and  Huan. 

If  the  former  of  these  may  be  identified  with  the  John  Standish  of 
the  quitclaim  deed,  then  he  did  settle  in  the  Isle  of  Man,  as  this  deed 
shows.  But  in  1572  John  renoimced  for  himself  and  for  his  heirs 
forever  all  right  to  the  lands  in  question;  and  therefore  Myles  could 
not  reasonably  claim  the  lands,  or  any  moiety  of  them,  if  he  were  a 
son  or  descendant  of  John  and  knew  about  the  deed  of  renunciation. 

The  other  son  of  Robert  Standish  mentioned  in  1540  as  brother  of 
Thomas  and  John  was  Huan.  The  probability  is  that  Myles  was 
his  son  or  descendant.  Did  Huan  also,  like  his  brother  John,  settle 
in  the  Isle  of  Man?  It  is  a  remarkable  fact  that  "Huyn  Standish" 
was  a  landowner  in  Man.  In  1540,  at  the  time  of  the  dissolution  of 
the  monasteries,  he  held  a  tenement  in  Sulby,  consisting  of  lands 
of  the  Abbey  at  Lezayre.  '  He  paid  to  the  Abbey  a  rent  of  246., 
as  the  Computus  shows.  This  was  the  estate  of  EUanbane,  which 
continued  to  be  held  by  the  Standi^es  until  the  eighteenth  century. 
The  Standish  heiress  married  a  Christian,  and  the  descendants  were 
known  popularly  as  the  Standish-Christians,  to  distinguish  them 
from  other  Christians.  (Information  from  Canon  Quine.)  EUan- 
bane consists  of  a  pretty  house  and  grounds,  but  it  has  now  passed 
from  the  possession  of  the  Christian  family.  The  comparative  rarity 
of  the  form  Huyn  or  Huan  adds  to  the  probability  that  this  Huyn 
was  brother  of  Thomas  Standish  of  Orm^drk. 

^  The  lands  sold  by  Hugh  Standish  to  William  Stopford  oame,  parUy  by  purchase 
and  partly  by  marriage  with  the  Stopfords,  into  the  possession  of  the  Heeketli  family 
of  Rufford,  and  it  is  quite  possible  that  some  of  them  remain  to-diy[  in  the  hands  of

There  was  considerable  traffic  between  Lancashire  and  the  Isle  of 
Man,  owing  to  the  connection  of  the  Stemleys,  Earls  of  Derby,  with 
both.  They  had  large  estates  near  Ormskirk,  and  they  were  "  Kings  " 
of  Man.  It  has  been  shown  that  the  Standishes  of  Ormskirk  were 
connected  by  marriage  with  one  branch  of  the  Stanley  family,  Thomas 
Standish  having  married  Joanna  Stanley;  and  the  Earls'  interest  in 
the  Isle  of  Man  might  accomit  for  the  migration  thither  of  some  of 
the  Standishes  of  Ormskirk. 

Owing  to  the  difficulties  of  research  in  the  Isle  of  Man,  it  has  not 
been  possible  to  draw  up  a  connected  accoimt  of  the  Manx  Standishes. 
But  the  fragmentary  items  that  have  been  collected  indicate  that 
there  was  more  than  one  branch  there  in  the  reign  of  Henry  VIII. 

In  the  Manx  Manorial  Rolls,  imder  the  year  1511,  there  appears, 
below  the  heading  "Cottages  in  Castletown,"  an  Edward  Standysh, 
who  paid  2s.  4d.  for  "one  room"  granted  by  the  lieutenant.  (In- 
formation from  Mr.  W.  Cubbon,  Douglas  Librarian,  Isle  of  Man.) 
In  1540  the  Huan  already  mentioned  is  found.  About  1600  William 
Standish  "the  older"  was  vicar  of  Andreas,  Isle  of  Man.  A  John 
Standish,  son  of  William,  was  vicar  of  Lezayre  about  1640.  (Manx 
Society  Vols.)  As  the  question  of  the  religion  of  Myles  Standish  is 
sometimes  debated,  it  is  noteworthy  that  several  members  of  this 
section  of  the  family  were  clergy  of  the  Chiu-ch  of  England.  Not 
only  clergymen  but  also  parliamentarians  are  foimd  amongst  the 
Manx  Standishes.  A  William  Standish  was  a  member  of  the  House 
of  Keys,  1637-1643.  One  of  the  name,  described  as  William  Standish 
of  Ellanbane,  gave  depositions  concerning  the  execution  of  Capt. 
William  Christian  in  1662.  (76.,  vol.  26,  p.  18.)  This  William 
Standish  appears  to  have  taken  sides  against  the  Countess  of  Derby. 
A  John  Standish  was  a  member  of  the  House  of  Keys  in  1651  and 
took  an  active  part  in  the  rising  on  the  Island  when  the  Manxmen 
declared  for  the  Parliament.  He  was  probably  lieutenant  or  comet 
in  the  Lezayre  militia.  He  was  present  at  the  capture  of  Peel  Castle 
under  Capt.  RadcMe,  and  took  a  flag  of  truce  there  with  the  osten- 
sible object  of  parleying  with  Maj.  Woods,  the  conunandant.  His 
real  purpose  was  to  speak  with  the  garrison  in  the  Manx  tongue,  and 
to  secure  their  defection  in  the  night  assault  during  which  the  castle 
was  taken.  Different  persons  of  the  same  name,  John  Standish,  were 
members  of  the  Keys  in  later  times.  A  William  Standish  is  said  to 
have  owned  Pulrose  near  Douglas.  (Information  from  Canon 
Quine.) 

The  tradition  is  known  in  the  Isle  of  Man  that  Rose  and  Barbara, 
the  successive  wives  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish,  were  natives  of  the 
Island  and  members  of  a  Standish  family  there.  But  the  story  has 
possibly  come  from  America.  At  any  rate,  Moore,  once  a  deemster 
m  the  Island,  says  in  his  book  on  Manx  names  that  careful  search  in 
the  manorial  records  reveals  no  trace  of  Myles,  Rose,  or  Barbara. 
This  is  probable;  for  it  is  chiefly  landowners  in  succession  who  are 
named  in  the  rolls,  and  Capt.  Myles  seems  to  have  lost  his  Manx 
estate  as  well  as  his  Lancashire  lands. 

The  conclusion  which  we  reach,  therefore,  is  that  Capt.  Myles 
Standish  came  not  from  Standish  nor  from  Duxbury,  but  from  the 


358  Ancestry  of  CapL  Myles  Standiah  [Oct. 

Standish  family  of  Onnskirk,  co.  LancaiBter,  through  one  of  the 
younger  branches  of  that  family  holding  lands  in  the  Isle  of  Man. 
It  may  be  added  that  he  was  probably  a  descendant  of  Huan,  son 
of  Robert  Standish  of  Ormskirk. 

If  Capt.  Myles  was  indeed  bom  in  Lancashire,  as  Nathaniel  Mor- 
ton in  his  ''  New-Englands  Memoriall ''  testifies,  then  his  most  prob- 
able birthplace  was  Ormsldrk.  It  has  been  stated  above  that  the  old 
registers  there  are  defective.  For  1584  and  1585,  the  time  about 
which  he  is  supposed  to  have  been  bom  {vide  supra,  p.  349^ ,  the  entries 
are  fairly  numerous;  but  another  tradition  assigns  his  birth  to  1587 
(see  Mass.  Hist.  Soc.  Proceedings,  vol.  15,  p.  324,  Oct.  1877),  and  for 
March  and  April  of  this  year  there  are  no  entries  in  the  Ormskirk 
roister,  the  spaces  having  been  left  blank  by  the  clerk. 

It  remain9  to  attempt  to  answer  one  or  two  questions  which  will, 
no  doubt,  occur  to  many  readers,  but  on  which  the  deeds  printed  at 
the  end  of  this  article  throw  no  light.  Who  was  William,  the  first 
Standish  of  Ormskirk?  How  and  when  did  the  Ormskirk  Standishes 
spring  from  the  Standishes  of  Standish?  Although  the  successive 
generations  that  have  been  mentioned,  William,  Hugh,  Gilbert, 
Robert,  Thomas,  show  that  Capt.  Myles's  statement  about  his  great- 
grandfather must,  as  stated  above,  be  imderstood  in  a  general 
sense,  nevertheless  he  was  likely  to  be  right  in  the  conviction 
that  his  branch  of  the  family  was  descended  from  the  manorial 
lords  of  Standish. 

The  view  taken  by  the  present  writer,  supported  by  a  number  of 
minute  considerations  too  tedious  to  go  through  in  detail,  is  that  the 
family  of  Standish  of  Ormskirk  was  connected  with  that  of  Standish 
of  Standish  through  a  third,  intermediate  branch.  With  this  in 
view  two  other  faimlies  of  Standish  may  be  mentioned  in  conclusion. 

First,  it  is  possible  that  one  of  the  Standish  families  who  held  in 
Croston  was  the  intermediate  branch. 

It  will  be  remembered  that  Capt.  Myles  Standish  claimed  land  in 
Croston  and  Mawdesley.  Towards  the  end  of  the  fourteenth  cen- 
tury two  members  of  the  Standish  family,  Fulk  (Fulco)  and  Robert, 
married  respectively  the  daughter  and  the  widow  of  Sir  \^llliam  de 
Lea,  who  had  an  estate  in  Croston  and  vicinity.  The  relationship 
between  Fulk  and  Robert  is  not  stated.  On  1  Feb.  1389/90  two 
cousms  had  an  old  charter  confirmed  to  them.  (Calendar  of  Patent 
Rolls,  Richard  II,  1388-1392,  p.  184.)  They  were  Thomas  Fleming, 
Knight,  and  Alice,  daughter  of  William  del  Lee,  Knight,  whom  Fulk 
de  Standish  had  married.  The  cousins  were  heirs  of  a  certain  William 
de  la  Mare,  to  whom  Edward  I  had  granted  a  weekly  market  on 
Wednesdays  at  William's  manor  of  Croston  and  a  three  days'  fair  on 
the  eve,  day,  and  morrow  of  St.  Wilfrid  the  Confessor,  and  abo  free 
warren  in  all  his  demesne  lands  there  and  in  Mawdesley  and  Longton. 
The  other  marriage  was  that  of  Sir  Robert  de  Standish  (son  ot  John 
de  Standish,  squire  of  Standish,  1322-1350),  who  achieved  distinction, 
was  knighted,  and  became  sheriff  of  co.  Lancaster.  He  married 
Isolda,  widow  of  Williiun  de  Lea.  William  and  Isolda  had  hdd  the 
manors  of  Croston  and  Mawdesley  or  moieties  of  them.  Throu^ 
these  alliances  the  Standishes  appear  to  have  gained  a  footing  in  these 


1914]  Ancestry  of  Capi.  Myles  Standish  359 

vilis.  Sir  Robert  and  Isolds  are  mentioned  in  deeds  relating  to  land 
in  Croston  in  11  Bichard  II  [1387-8],  and  Robert's  father  John  had 
obtained  a  lease  of  land  in  Croston.  (Towneley  MSS.,  BB.  102, 
1643.)  Soon  afterwards  another  John  Standish  appears  (whether 
son  of  Sir  Robert  or  not  cannot  be  ascertained),  holding  in  Croston, 
Mawdesley,  Wrightington,  and  other  places.  (/6.,  BB.  1504.) 
These  three  townships  are  identical  with  three  mentioned  in  the 
Captain's  will.  But  part  of  the  estate  of  this  John  came  from  his 
wife  Alice  de  Bretherton,  whose  parents,  Henry  and  Margery,  in  1410 
had  land  in  Wigan,  Ashton-in-Maker^eld,  Wrightmgton,  Croston,  and 
Euxton,  (Lancaster  Plea  Rolls,  no.  4,  m.  21.)  The  son  and  heir  of; 
this  John  Standish  was  Christopher  Standish  (Towneley  MSS.,  BB. 
1606,  GG.  1252),  who  married  Margaret,  daughter  of  Robert  Unton. 
John  Standish's  daughter  Alison  was  to  marry  Robert  Unton's  son 
Henry.  {lb.,  BB.  14.)  Lettice,  wife  of  Edward  Rishton,  was  one  of 
the  daughters  and  heirs  of  Christopher  Standish,  8  Henry  VIII 
[1516-17].  (/&.,  RE.  296.)  The  estate  seems  to  have  been  sold  to 
the  Heskeths  of  Rufford,  and  nothing  further  has  been  learned  of 
the  family. 

Secondly,  there  is  yet  another  branch  of  the  Standish  family  which 
held  in  some  of  the  other  townships  referred  to  in  Capt.  Myles 
Standish's  will;  and  this  branch,  the  family  of  Standish  of  Scholes 
in  Eccleston,  in  the  parish  of  Prescot,  appears  more  likely  to  be  the 
connecting  link  between  the  parent  stock  and  the  Standishes  of 
Ormskirk. 

Sir  Robert,  son  of  John  de  Standish,  has  ahready  been  mentioned 
in  connection  with  Croston.  Ralph  de  Standish,  another  son  of  the 
same  squire,  and  also  a  knight,  was  the  first  Standish  of  Scholes. 
Ralph,  whose  elder  brother  Henry  was  manorial  lord  of  Standish 
from  1350  to  1396,  served  the  Black  Prince,  who  granted  him  an 
annuity  of  £20.  He  was  knighted,  and  as  Sir  Ralph  de  Standish  was 
made  wiurden  of  Scarborough  Castle  in  1381.  The  references  to  him 
in  Standish  deeds  show  that  he  was  a  strong  character  and  was  not 
noted  for  conjugal  fidelity.  He  was  a  large  landowner,  and  among 
other  estates  acquired  one  named  ''The  Scholes"  in  Eccleston  in 
the  parish  of  Prescot,  which  was  held  by  him  in  1366  of  the  Abbey  of 
Cockersand,  and  was  held  afterwards  by  his  heirs,  as  the  rentals  show. 
There  are  several  indications  of  a  connection  between  the  important 
family  of  Stan^sh  of  Scholes,  whose  descent  can  be  traced  down  to 
the  seventeenth  century,  and  Standish  of  Ormskirk. 

The  nucleus  of  the  estate  of  the  Standishes  of  Ormskirk  was  in 
Ormskirk  and  in  Newburgh,  a  hamlet  of  Lathom  township.  Now 
the  Standishes  of  Scholes  held  in  Lathom  and  Ormskirk  (Pal.  of 
Lancaster  Feet  of  Fines,  bimdle  28,  m.  87);  in  the  latter  vill  they 
were  tenants,  holding  messuages,  land,  and  tenements,  of  Burscoiigh 
Priory,  as  were  the  Standishes  of  Ormskirk.  (Lancashire  Inquisi- 
tions, vol.  9,  no.  3.)  Further,  the  Standishes  of  Scholes  held  in 
Sutton  (the  Sutton  in  Prescot  parish),  and  were  sometimes  known  as 
Standishes  of  Sutton,  (^ctoria  County  Histories,  Lancashire,  vol. 
4,  p.  94,  note.)  This  is  interesting;  for  a  Hugh  Standish  (very 
poeeibly  Hugh  Standish  of  Ormskirk)  held  Pymfeldes  and  Northalk

in  Sutton  in  Apr.,  37  Henry  VI  [1458-9].  (Piccope  MBS.,  vol.  9, 
p.  370.)  If  it  should  turn  out,  as  seems  likely,  that  the  Standidi 
family  of  Ormskirk  was  derived  from  the  Standishes  of  Scholes,  then 
we  have  perhaps  identified  the  ''second  or  younger  brother''  through 
whom  Capt.  Myles  traced  his  descent  from  the  parent  stock. 

Some  further  particulars  concerning  this  brave  soldier  may  be  9ven« 
Sir  Ralph  de  Standish,  Knight,  was  the  younger  brother  of  Henry  de 
Standish,  of  Standish,  Esq.  Their  father  John  had  many  sons,  of 
whom  William,  Henry,  Edmimd,  and  Ralph  were  mentioned  in  the 
settlement  in  1332.  (Final  Con6ords,  vol.  2,  p.  89.)  Another  son, 
John,  is  referred  to  in  West's  MS.,  and  another,  Gilbert,  became 
rector  of  Standish  in  1357.  A  seventh  son.  Sir  Robert,  has  already 
been  mentioned.  William  died  before  his  father,  and  Henry  suc- 
ceeded to  the  manor.  Ralph  was  the  fourth  son,  but  may  have  been 
the  second  surviving  son  when  Henry  became  manorial  lord.  Dr. 
West  thought  that  Ralph  kept  Henry  out  of  his  estates  for  a  time, 
and  this  statement  has  crept  into  some  of  the  pedigrees.  (Cf .  Foster, 
Pedigrees  of  Lancashire  Families.)  It  is  an  error  due  to  the  mis* 
reading  of  some  of  the  deeds.  Nevertheless,  the  younger  brother 
was  a  strong  character.  In  1353,  the  King  granted  Ralph  a  pardon 
for  breach  of  the  peace,  and  no  one  was  to  reproach  him  for  what  had 
been  done  on  10  Apr.  1352.  (E^arwaker,  xxxviii.)  In  1366  he  was 
serving  the  King  in  the  retinue  of  the  Black  Prince  in  Aquitaine 
(Victoria  County  Histories,  Lancashire,  vol.  3,  p.  365),  and  received 
the  annuity  sJready  mentioned.  In  1377-5  Richard  II  confirmed  to 
Ralph,  "our  dear  esquire,"  the  annuity  given  by  the  King's  late 
father  (the  Black  Prince),  but  it  was  to  be  paid  by  tenants  of  Shot- 
wyk,  .CO.  Chester,  as  Sutton  was  now  part  of  the  queen  mother's 
dower.  (Mrs.  Tempest,  Standish  Deeds,  no.  95.)  By  rearrange- 
ment, however,  Ralph  continued  to  receive  the  £20  from  Sutton. 
(Cf.  Calendar  of  Patent  Rolls,  Richard  II,  1377-1381,  p.  124.) 
Other  annuities  were  granted  to  him  soon  after.  On  16  Oct.  1382 
he  explained  to  his  dearest  brother.  Sir  Gilbert  de  Standish,  rector, 
his  wishes  in  regard  to  his  lands  which  he  had  vested  in  trustees. 
{lb.,  1381-1385,  p.  216;  Mrs.  Tempest,  Standish  Deeds,  no.  102.) 
His  estates  referred  to  in  various  deeds  include  land  in  Wigan,  Stand- 
ish, Langtree,  Shevington,  Winstanley,  Dalyston  (?Eccleston)  in 
Derbyshire  (West  Derby  himdred),  and  other  places.  The  charter 
of  16  Oct.  1382,  just  mentioned,  is  dated  from  London,  where  prob- 
ably he  died,  for  a  fortnight  after  he  had  drawn  it  up,  30  Oct.  1382, 
bis  decease  is  announced  and  his  annuity  from  Sutton  was  granted 
to  another.  (Calendar  of  Patent  Rolls,  Richard  H,  1381-1385, 
p.  180.)  The  trustees  of  his  estate  in  May  1383  granted  some  of  his 
lands  to  Elizabeth,  his  widow,  with  remainder  to  their  sons  Nicholas 
and  Ralph  and  their  heirs,  then  to  John  de  Standish  and  Joan  de 
Standish,  children  of  Mary  de  Ince,  who  is  not  described  as  his  wife. 
(Mrs.  Tempest,  Standish  Deeds,  no.  104,  correcting  Earwaker, 
Ixxiii.)  A  part  of  this  estate  was  bought  in  1407  by  Ralph  Standish 
of  Standish.  (Earwaker,  xciii-cii.)  The  description  ''alias  Lord 
John,''  applied  to  one  of  the  sons  of  Sir  Ralph  in  West's  and  Ear* 
waker's  translations  of  the  deeds,  is  erroneous.    The  Latin  original

''John  Standish  otherwise  called  John  son  of  Marie  de  Ince/' 

Sir  Ralph's  knighthood  and  custodianship  of  Scarborough  Castle 
have  an  important  bearing  on  another  doubtful  point  in  the  history 
of  the  Standish  family.  Several  chroniclers  and  historians  concur 
in  the  statement  that  the  King's  esquire  who  helped  to  defend  Rich- 
ard II  in  the  afifray  with  Wat  Tyler's  followers  was  named  Standish. 
There  is  diversity  of  opinion,  however,  as  to  his  identity.  Froissart 
says  it  was  a  John  Standvich,  Ejiighton  says  Ralph  Standyche,  while 
Lingard  calls  him  Robert  Standish.  Lingard  relates  that  when  Wat 
Tyler  was  talking  with  the  King,  he  affected  to  play  with  his  dagger, 
and  at  last  laid  his  hand  on  the  King's  bridle,  whereupon  Walworth, 
the  Lord  Mayor,  jealous  of  his  design,  plunged  a  short  sword  in  his 
throat.  He  spurred  his  horse,  rode  about  a  dozen  yards,  fell  to  the 
ground,  and  was  despatched  by  Robert  Standish,  one  of  the  King[s 
esquires.  The  rebels  bent  their  bows  to  avenge  the  fall  of  their 
learder.  Froissart's  account  gives  more  detail:  ''Then  dismounted 
one  of  the  esquires  of  the  Timg  who  was  called  John  Standvich  and 
drew  a  handsome  sword  [une  belle  Spie]  which  he  carried,  and  thrust 
this  Tyler  through  the  stomach  and  he  wa§  dead.  .  .  .  The  King 
made  three  knights,  one  was  the  mayor  of  London,  Mr  [messire] 
John  Wallourde,  another  Mr  John  Standvich,  and  the  tbird  Mr. 
Nicholas  Banbre."  (Froissart's  Chronique,  Lettenhove's  edition, 
vol.  9,  pp.  413-415.) 

There  is  some  groimd,  however,  for  believing  that  Knighton  is 
correct  when  he  gives  the  name  of  the  esquire  as  Ralph  Standyche 
(Knighton's  Chronicle,  Lumby's  edition,  1889-1895,  vol.  2,  pp.  137- 
138),  and  that  the  swordsman  in  question  was  one  and  the  same 
person  with  the  Ralph  de  Standish  whom  we  have  been  considering. 
The  latter  was,  as  we  have  seen,  an  esquire  in  the  royal  retinue. 
His  father  John,  who  died  in  1350,  was  an  esquire  in  the  heraldic 
sense  at  least,  and  bore  in  1332  a  saltire  between  four  crosses  pa- 
tonce.  (Earwaker,  xx.)  There  was  also  a  Robert  Standish  in  the 
King's  retinue,  possibly  a  brother  of  the  Ralph  referred  to  above. 
(Calendar  of  Patent  Rolls,  Richard  II,  139&-1399,  p.  571.)  Now 
in  those  days,  when  there  were  no  biographical  handbooks  for 
reporters  to  consult,  it  was  easy  for  a  man  to  be  confused  with  his 
deceased  father  or  his  brother,  especially  if  all  three  were  esquires. 

But  the  remarkable  bit  of  evidence  is  this.  The  affray  with  Wat 
Tyler  occurred-in  June  1381,  and  in  August  of  the  same  year  Ralph, 
formerly  addressed  as  "our  dear  esquire,"  is  now  referred  to  as  the 
King's  knight,  and  in  terms  which  suggest  that  the  elevation  to 
knighthood  was  recent.  The  references  occur  in  the  grant  of  the 
wardenship  of  Scarborough:  "14  August,  1381.  Grant  for  life,  for 
the  better  maintenance  of  his  knightiy  rank,  to  the  King's  knight, 
Ralph  Standish,  of  the  custody  of  Scardeburgh  castle  receiving  40 
marics  yearly,  and  20  marks  from  the  manor  of  Drakelow,  Co.  Ches- 
ter." (Calendar  of  Patent  Rolls,  Richard  II,  1381-1386,  pp.  32,  47.) 
This  grant  was  confirmed  and  explained  on  25  Oct.  of  the  same  year. 
Now  on  12  June  1399  the  esquire,  Robert  Standish,  is  not  addressed 
as  knight  but  as  esquire,  and  therefore  he  was  not  promoted  in  con- 


302  Ancestry  qf  Copt.  Myle9  Slandiah  [Oct 

nection  with  the  Wat  Tyler  riot.  {lb.,  1396-1399,  p.  571.)  Bui 
Ralph  appears  as  knight  for  the  first  time  in  Aug.  1381,  8h<^y  after 
the  distiu-bance,  and  he  receives  a  grant  to  maintain  his  knightly  rank, 
which  suggests  recent  promotion.  It  can  scarcely  be  doubted  then 
that  he  was  the  esquire  who  despatched  Wat  T^der  and  received 
knighthood  for  that  service. 

The  following  pedigree  shows  the  probable  connection  of  the 
Standishes  of  Ormskirk  with  the  Standishes  of  Standish  and  indicates 
that  member  of  the  Ormskirk  branch  of  the  Standishes  from  whom 
Capt.  Myles  Standish  was  probably  descended.

THE  FAMILY  OF  GEORGE  PARKHURST 

OF 

WATERTOWN  AND  BOSTON,  MASS. 

By  Ed0OH  Balububt  Jonss,  Esq.,  of  Port  Chester,  N.  Y. 

The  main  facts  that  have  long  been  known  concerning  George^ 
Parkhurst  of  Watertown  and  Boston,  Mass.,  are  that  he  first  appears 
of  public  record,  in  America,  at  Watertown,  imder  date  of  10  May 
1642,  when  it  was  ordered  that  a  highway  should  be  laid  out  by  Us 
house.  He  is  not  mentioned  in  the  four  grants  of  land  between 
25  July  1636  and  9  Apr.  1638,  inclusive,  and  the  date  of  his  acquisition 
of  the  house  lot  is  not  disclosed  by  extant  records;  but  Dr.  Bond 
believed  that  the  plot  was  Parkhurst's  homestall  of  16  acres.  On 
the  same  date  he  was  granted  a  farm  of  56  acres.  These  lands  appear 
to  be  all  that  he  acquired  by  purchase  or  grant  —  his  other  holdings 
coming  by  a  later  marriage.  Seven  deeds,  of  record  in  the  registries 
of  Suffolk  and  Middlesex,  show  the  disposition  he  made  of  some  of 
the  property. 

llie  time  of  his  arrival  in  America  is  unknown,  and  no  evidence 
has  been  seen  that  a  wife  accompanied  him;  but  unquestionably 
certain  of  his  children  came  hither.  Savage  thought  that  George,^ 
Phebe*  (who  married  Thomas^  Arnold),  and  perhaps  other  issue 
emigrated  with  their  father;  and  Bond  named  the  same  two  children, 
and  conjectured  that  Joseph  of  Chelmsford  was  also  his  son. 

One  of  the  early  proprietors  of  Watertown  was  John  Simson,  who 
was  buried  there  10  June  1643,  leaving  two  sons,  John  and  Jonathan, 
three  daughters  (bom  at  Watertown  1634r-1642/3),  and  a  widow, 
Susanna,  whom  George^  Parkhurst  soon  married.  By  this  union 
he  acquired  idl  the  real  estate  of  the  deceased,  except  a  small  parcel 
alienated  by  the  widow  and  6  acres  of  upland,  which  she  transferred 
to  William  Page  on  9  Nov.  1643,  acknowledging  the  deed  on  28  Nov. 
of  the  same  year.  As  Parkhurst  sold  2  acres  of  the  Simson  land  on 
16  Nov.  1644,  the  marriage  took  place  between  these  dates.  Prob- 
ably he  soon  removed  from  Watertown,  as  he  was  of  Boston  on 
4  Oct.  1645,  when  he  conveyed  6  acres;  and  he  seems  to  have  re* 
mained  there  (though  possibly  he  returned  to  Watertown  for  a  time) 
as  late  as  13  Jtme  1655,  when  he  sold  12  acres  (in  two  parcels)  of  what 
had  been  Simson's  lajid  for  £21.  The  last  conveyances  were  made 
by  permission  of  the  General  Court,  granted  23  May  1655  in  response 
to  his  petition,  and  two  thirds  of  the  sum  realized  were  to  be  retted 
by  Mr.  Richard  Brown  for  the  benefit  of  Susanna's  two  Simson  sons 
until  they  should  come  of  age.    After  the  date  of  the  last-mentioned 


1914]  The  Family  of  George  Parkhurst  371 

deeds  the  public  records  of  Massachusetts  disclose  no  reference  to 
Greorge^  Parkhurst,  as  far  as  the  present  writer  is  aware. 

As  regards  this  petition,  ''A  true  copy  of  the  original  lying  in  the 
General  Court  Files  in  the  year  1655"  is  to  be  seen  in  File  no.  3175 
of  the  Superior  Court,  Boston,  in  connection  with  a  suit  brought  in 
1695  concerning  some  land  that  had  been  John^  Simson's;  and  in  the 
same  file  is  an  affidavit  by  George*  Parkhurst,  made  30  July  1695,  in 
which  he  calls  himself  "aged  78  years  or  thereabout,"  and  refers  to 
"my  honored  father  George  Parkhurst  Deced,  which  married  Jno 
Simsons  Widdow."  The  petition  of  George^  asserts  that  he  was  then 
[1655]  "near  67  yeares  old;"  that  he,  his  wife,  and  most  of  her  children 
were  in  destitute  condition;  that  she  had  had  ten  children  during 
her  twenty  years'  residence  in  America  —  seven  sons  and  three 
daughters  [five  sons  by  Parkhurst,  therefore];  that  she  had  gone  to 
London,  Ekigland,  with  six  of  her  children,  but  foimd  her  mother, 
brothers,  and  sisters  unable  to  do  what  she  had  expected;  that  four 
of  her  children  had  remained  in  America,  two  of  whom  seem  to  have 
been  bound  out  [Jonathan  Simson  was  in  the  service  of  Richard 
Brown  in  1659,  according  to  the  latter's  will,  and  probably  the  other 
child  was  Benjamin*  Parkhurst];  and  that  the  petitioner  desired  to 
sell  the  land  [apparently  all  that  remained]  in  order  that  he  might 
go  to  the  aid  of  his  wife.  It  is  very  probable  that  he  retiuned  to 
England,  and  that,  too,  as  soon  as  possible  after  13  June  1655. 

Ot  the  issue  bom  abroad,  we  have  been  certain  of  George*  and 
Phebe,*  by  reason  of  Thomas^  Arnold's  deed  of  30  Mar.  1655  (also 
signed  and  acknowledged  by  his  wife,  Phebe  Arnold)  to  "George 
Parkhurst  my  brother  in  law  of  Watertown"  for  30  acres  there  "that 
I  bought  of  our  Father  George  Parkhurst  and  his  wife  Susanna," 
this  instrument  having  been  signed  "In  the  presence  of  George 
Parkhurst  our  Father." 

In  1873  the  late  William  H.  Whitmore,  Esq.,  contributed  to  the 
Register  (vol.  27,  pp.  364-369)  an  article  entitled  "The  Dalton 
and  Batcheller  Pedigree,"  in  which  he  expressed  conclusions  as  to 
the  names  of  seven  of  George^  Parkhurst's  children,  resulting  from  a 
study  of  copies  of  records,  letters,  and  documents.  The  chief  of 
these  was  an  indenture  of  22  Mar.  1663/4  between  Ruth  Dalton 
of  Hampton,  Mass.,  widow  of  Rev.  Timothy  Dalton,  and  Nathaniel 
Batcheller,  her  "constituted  heir,"  whereby  all  her  lands  were  con- 
veyed to  Batcheller  upon  his  agreement  to  pay  her  £10  per  year 
during  her  life  and  stipulated  sums  to  others  after  her  death.  Among 
the  latter  were  six  persons,  who,  the  writer  thought,  were  very 
probably  the  issue  of  George^  Parkhurst,  as  follows:  Deborah  Smith, 
wife  of  John;  Elizabeth  Merry,  wife  of  Joseph;  Phebe  AmaJl,  wife 
of  Thomas;  Joseph  Parkers;  George  Parkers;  and  Mrs.  Mary 
Carter,  wife  of  Mr.  Thonlas  of  Wobum.*  The  name  of  the  seventh 
child  was  derived  from  a  letter  of  "Georg  Parkis"  of  Watertown, 
dated  "the  25  of  June  '69,"  to  his  "Louemg  Cous*  Bashelder,"  asking 
the  latter  to  pay  "my  brother  Beniamen,  fife  pounds  of  that  twenty 

•Old  Norfolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  1,  fo.  169  (reverse).  The  surname  "Parkers"  for 
Joseph  and  George  is  in  accordance  with  the  record.  Batoh^er's  first  wife  (married 
1656)  was  Deborah  Smith,  daughter  of  John  and  Deborah.

which  will  bee  due  to  me  from  my  ant  Dolton."  This  was  endorsed: 
"My  unkell  Gorg.  Parkes  his  letter:   sent  by  benjeimen  Parkes." 

Whitmore  gave  also  an  abstract  of  a  receipt  from  '' Josiepb  Parkis 
of  Chemf ord  in  New  Inland  "  for  £20, "  reseved  of  Nathaniell  Bachiler, 
exsecutor  to  the  last  will  and  testiment  of  my  Ant  Dalton  deiseeed;" 
also  an  abstract  of  a  power  of  attorney  from  Thomas  AmoU  of 
Providence,  for  himself  and  wife  Phebe,  to  collect  a  legacy  of  £20 
bequeathed  by  the  will  of  Mrs.  BLuth  Dalton  to  Phebe  /^old;  and, 
lastly,  a  copy  of  a  receipt  by  John  Wyman  to  Batcheller  for  the 
equivalent  of  £14,  "by  ordier  of  my  father  in  law  Thomas  Carter," 
given  to  "my  mother  in  law,  Merri  Carter  by  Mrs.  Ruth  Daltcm.  of 
Hampton  deiseised,"  which  was  endorsed:  "Cosen  John  Wbayman's 
aquitens  about  my  imkell  Carter's  Legassy." 

As  will  soon  appear,  there  should  be  no  doubt  that  Deborah, 
Elizabeth,  Phebe,  Joseph,  George,  and  Mary,  mentioned  in  the  fore- 
going indentiu*e,  were  among  the  issue  of  George^  Parkhurst,  and 
were  bom  in  £^[igland.  Mrs.  Ruth  Dalton  seems  to  have  been  a 
sister  of  their  mother  —  not  of  George,^  else  probably  she  would  have 
named  his  later  children. 

There  is  certainty  that  one  son,  by  Susanna,  was  "Daniel  of 
George  Parkhurst  member  of  Ch.  of  Watertowne  aged  about  11  days," 
who  was  baptized  in  Boston  10,  4  mo.,  1649,  b^use  Geoi^je*  and 
Sarah  Parkhurst  had  a  daughter,  Sarah,  bom  14  Sept.  1649,  accord- 
ing to  the  Watertown  records.    The  Boston  church  records  also  fpve 

"Joshua  of Parkis  of  Watertowne,"  baptized  7,  1  mo.,  1652, 

and  "Callib  of  Mr.  Parkis  of  Watertowne,"  baptized  26,  12  mo., 
1653.  Whether  Joshua  and  Caleb  were  sons  of  George^  or  George* 
it  is  difficult  to  decide  upon  this  evidence,  though  not  improbably 
the  former  was  the  fatlier.  If  so,  he  would  seem  to  have  been  living 
at  Watertown  at  the  times,  or  the  word  "Church"  was  omitted  from 
the  records.  He  and  Susanna  were  of  Boston  on  3  Oct.  1651,  when 
she  declared  that  she  had  previously  sold  land.  This  statement 
was  acknowledged  by  both  on  30  Oct.  1652  before  Increase  Nowell, 
but  their  residence  at  the  latter  date  does  not  appear. 

Benjamin  would  seem  certainly  to  have  been  'Susanna's  son. 
The  present  writer  recalls  no  mention  of  him  in  New  England  records; 
but  a  Benjamin,  whose  surname  is  variably  spelled  Parkis  and  Park* 
est,  appears  as  a  grantee  of  lands  in  Woodbridge,  N.  J.,  in  1670.  In 
1681  Benjamin  Parkis  received  a  commission  as  captain-lieutenant 
for  EHzabethtown,  N.  J.,  which  adjoined  Woodbridge;  on  16  Feb. 
1683/4  an  inventory  of  the  personal  estate  of  Benjamin  Parkis  of 
Elizabethtown,  gentleman,  was  taken;  and  on  10  Mar.  1683/4 
administration  on  his  estate  was  granted  to  his  widow,  Martha. 
In  1686,  1690,  and  1696  a  Benjamin  Parkis  appears  as  owner  of 
Elizabethtown  land;  in  1701  Benj:  Parkhurst  signed  a  petition  as 
one  of  the  residents  of  New  Jersey;  and  on  9  Deo.  1721  Benjamm 
Parkhiu^  of  Elizabethtown,  weaver,  made  his  will,  which  was  proved 
8  Dec.  1722  and  named  wife  Mercy  and  children  Martha,  Mary, 
Hanna,  Benjamin,  John,  and  Samuel.*

In  the  parish  registers  at  Ipswich,  co.  Suffolk,  I^v  the  following 
baptisms  of  nine  children  of  George^  Parkhurst  have  been  found,  the 
first  in  the  parish  of  St.  Stephen,  the  second  in  that  of  St.  Mary-at- 
the-Quay,  tiie  third  to  the  seventh,  inclusive,  and  the  ninth  in  that 
of  St.  Margaret,  and  the  eighth  in  that  of  St.  Mary-le-Tower:

Parish  and  of  Phebey  his  wiffe  29  November.

18  May. 

1629  Joseph  Sonne  of  George  Parkehurst  21  December. 

It  will  be  observed  that  six  of  these  nine  Christian  names  agree 
with  the  six  mentioned  in  the  indenture  between  Ruth  Dalton  and 
Nathaniel  Batcheller,  and  that  the  name  of  the  mother  of  the  first 
was  Phebe.  Very  probably  all  of  them  were  her  children.  In 
Ipswich  and  vicinity  search  has  been  made  for  the  marriage  of 

George  Parkhurst  and  Phebe ,  but  without  success.    When 

the  first  two  children  were  baptized,  the  father  was  living  in  the 
parish  of  St.  Mary-at-the-Quay,  where  possibly,  or  probably,  the 
marriage  took  place.  Unfortunately,  no  marriages  earlier  than  1653 
were  to  be  found  in  1902  in  extant  re^sters  of  this  parish.  Seemingly 
the  family  removed  to  the  parish  of  St.  Margaret  after  the  birth  of 
the  second  child,  and  there  remained  until  the  baptism  of  the  ninth. 
No  burial  record  of  Phebe,  wife  of  George,  or  of  Samuel,  John,  or 
Abigail,  as  issue  of  George,  was  found,  but  there  are  some  gaps  in  the 
roisters.  The  family  may  have  removed  from  Ipswich  to  a  place 
as  yet  unknown;  and  in  such  place  or  in  its  vicinity  Phebe'  may  have 
married  Thomas*  Arnold*  and  Mary*  may  have  married  Thomas* 
Carter.  Rev.  Thomas  Carter  was  a  native  of  co.  Suffolk  and  a 
graduate  of  a  school  at  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  Rev.  Timothy  Dalton, 
husband  of  Ruth,  was  rector  of  Woolverstone,  about  five  miles  south- 
east from  Ipswich,  in  the  first  third  of  the  seventeenth  century,  and 
there  several  of  his  children  were  baptized.  Many  of  the  early 
inhabitants  of  Watertown,  Mass.,  embarked  at  Ipswich  when  they 
emigrated. 

Below  is  given  an  abstract  of  what  is  believed  to  be  the  will  of  the 
father  of  George*  Parkhurst: 

The  Will  of  John  Pabkhurst  of  the  parishe  of  Saynte  Marye  Keye,  in  the 
town  of  Ipswich,  co.  Suffolk,  Clothier,  29  Mar.  1610.  To  wife  Sara  all  house- 
hold stuff,  as  beading,  brass,  pewter,  linen,  and  woollen,  and  the  annual  rent  of 

*  The  writer  of  this  artide  thrnks  it  not  improbable  that  Thomas^  Arnold  was  a 
CO.  Suffolk  man,- and  questions  the  assumption  that  he  embarked  for  Virfdnia  in  1636. 
He  was  probably  not  a  half-brother  of  William^  Arnold,  and  the  alleged  anoestry  of 
tJiese  two  men,  printed  in  the  Rboibtbr  in  1879  (vol.  33,  pp.  432  et  seq,),  is  erroneous,

for  the  faithful  performance  of  my  will.  Witnesses:  Nicholas  Babbe, 
scriptore,  Jn^  Parkhurst,  Samuell  Pedse,  Edward  Catherall.  Proved  7  June 
1611.    (P.C.C.,  Wood,  50.) 

Of  the  children  named  by  John  Parkhurst  in  his  will,  the  baptism 
of  only  one  has  been  found  in  the  Ipswich  parish  registers,  namely^ 
Hellen,  daughter  of  John  Parkhurst,  1598/9,  7  [?  Januar]y,  in  the 
pajish  of  St.  Mary-at-the-Quay;  and  1^  is  the  earliest  baptism  of 
a  Parkhurst  recorded  in  that  register,  which  begins  in  1559.  It 
would  seem  that  the  testator  may  have  previously  resided  elsewhere 
than  at  Ipswich.  In  Wodderspoon's  "Memorials  of  the  Ancient 
Town  of  Ipswich,"  it  is  stated  that  in  1576  there  were  four  companies 
there,  among  them  that  of  the  Drapers,  which  included  clothiers. 
If  the  records  of  this  Company  be  extant,  they  may  shed  light  on  the 
parentage  of  the  testator,  John  Parkhurst. 

The  earliest  Parkhurst  disclosed  by  any  of  the  Ipswich  parish  rois- 
ters is  Christopher,  whose  daughter  Anne  was  baptized  in  1569,  in  the 
parish  of  St.  Nicholas.  Probably  he  was  the  Christopher  who  was 
appointed  in  1561  by  the  Bishop  of  Norwich,  John  Parkhurst  (in- 
ducted in  1560),  as  keeper  of  the  Bishop's  Palace  in  Ipswich,  where 
dwelt  the  bishops  when  they  were  in  that  part  of  their  diocese. 

The  registers  of  Oxford  University  show  Richard  and  William 
Parkhurst  as  taking  the  degree  of  M.A.  in  1505/6;  John  as  B.A.  in 
1506;  Symon,  Oliver,  and  John  (of  Langton)  as  enrolled  there  in 
1610;  Robert  as  B.A.  in  1519/20;  and  John  (subsequently  Bishop), 
son  of  George,  as  B.A.  in  1528.  The  last-named  died  in  1574/5,  aet. 
63;  and  therefore  he  was  bom  about  1511  —  and  in  Guildford,  as 
stated  in  his  will,  dated  1  Feb.  1573/4  and  proved  4  March  1576/7 
(P.C.C,  Daughtry,  10),  in  which  he  named  brothers  Christopher 
(and  his  son  Christopher)  and  Nicholas  (and  his  son  John)  and 
"other  of  my  brothers'  children,  whom  I  would  fain  have  brouf^t  up 
in  learning;"  sisters  Helen,  Agnes,  Alice,  and  Elizabeth;  brother 
Beckingham;  and  cousin  Margaret  Crampton  and  her  husband, 
Richard  Crampton.* 

The  earliest  seat  of  any  Parkhurst  family,  so  far  as  known,  was  in 
Guildford,  co.  Surrey,  where  parish  registers  show  many  of  the  name 
from  1541  onward.  George  Parkhurst  was  mayor  of  Guildford  in 
1522, 1529,  and  1536;  George,  Jr.,  died  there  in  1540,  leaving  a  will, 
which  mentioned  a  wife  and  an  imnamed  child.    In  the  vicinity 

*  Helen  Parkhurst  married  Thomas  Beckingham,  and  their  dauc^ter.  Margaret, 
became  the  wife  of  Richard  Crampton.  The  will  (1580)  of  this  Richard  Crampton 
mentioned,  among  others,  his  brothers-in-law  Richard  and  Nicholas  Babbe. 


1914]  Greenfield  HiU  Church  Seearde  1375 

were  others,  as  John  of  West  Clandon,  whose  will  (1523/4)  named  a 
wife,  four  daughters,  and  sons  John  and  Thomas;  Henry  of  Shere, 
in  1525  (others  are  found  there  later) ;  and  John  of  Leatherhead,  in 
1525.  The  will  (1558/9)  of  one  John  mentioned  brothers  Raff  and 
Robert.  Some  Parkhursts  were  of  Godalming.  Others,  as  early  as 
1553,  were  of  co.  Kent,*  and  Rev.  Robert  Parkhurst  was  of  co.  Sussex 
in  the  same  year.  Richard  and  Thomas  were  of  London  in  1569  and 
1584  respectively,  when  administrations  on  their  estates  were  granted 
—  that  on  the  estiite  of  the  former  to  his  brother,  Anthony  Parkhurst. 
Many  Parkhursts  were  armigerous,  as  is  shown  by  ^e  Heralds' 
Visitations. 

It  seems  probable  that  John  Parkhurst,  the  Ipswich  clothier  and 
testator,  was  descended  from  co.  Surrey  stock,  and  very  likely  from 
the  Parkhurst  family  of  Guildford,  where  the  clothing  trade  flouni^ed; 
but  proof  is  needed  to  substantiate  this  conjecture. 

A  theory  has  been  advanced  that  the  earliest  co.  Surrey  Park- 
hursts migrated  thither  from  the  Isle  of  Wight.  The  present  writer 
has  seen  nothing  to  indicate  this.  The  theory  was  based  upon  the 
presence  on  that  island  of  Parkhurst  Forest,  which  was  said  to  have 
been  so  named  in  Domesday  Book;  but  it  is  called  therein  ''parco 
Regis."  In  certain  pipe  rolls  in  the  time  of  Henry  II  it  appears  as 
"foreste  de  Witingelega."  In  1545  it  was  called  Caresbroke  Forest. 
It  was  also  known  as  AvingtoA  Forest. 

The  surname  Parkhurst  was  very  probably  derived  from  the 
residences  of  men  in,  at,  or  near  a  park  hurst  (park  woods,  or  wooded 
park),  of  which  there  were  many  in  early  times;  and  the  variations 
in  spelling  of  the  surname  may  have  included  Parkes  (pronounced  in 
two  qrllables)  and  others.

NOTES 

It  having  oome  to  the  attention  of  this  Society  that  certain 
frenealogists  and  publishers  have  used  the  name  of  the  Society 
in  connection  with  their  own  enterprises,  the  Society  again  de> 
sires  to  state  that  it  has  NO  genealogical  representatives  in  this 
country  or  in  England,  nor  is  it  in  any  way  connected  with  any 
publication^  other  than  those  that  it  issues  over  its  own  name 
at  9  Ashburton  Plcu^e,  Boston. 

The  Conmiittee  on  English  Research  desires  to  state,  however, 
that  although  the  Society  has  no  official  representative  in  Eng- 
land the  Committee  is  employing  Miss  French  for  a  psurt  of  her 
time  as  a  searcher  of  records  there  along  special  lines  for  the 
benefit  of  the  Bbqistbr.

Wesley  Parker,  Councillors,  who  have  during  their  terms  of  office 
given  of  their  time,  their  thought,  and  their  counsel  that  the  broad  purpose 
of  the  Society,  the  collection  and  preservation  of  genealogical  records  for 
the  public  benefit,  might  be  attained. 

The  Society  then  proceeded  to  the  election  of  officers  and  coun- 
cillors. 

President  Baxter  appointed  as  temporary  chairman  Hon.  Henrt 
Nichols  Blake,  and  Messrs.  Lawrence  Brainerd,  Phineas 
Hubbard,  and  Henry  Edwards  Scott  were  appointed  tellers. 


X  N.  E.  HISTORIC   GENEALOGICAL   SOCIETY 

During  the  counting  of  the  ballots  Mr.  George  Francis  Dow, 
Secretary  of  the  .Essex  Institute,  Salem,  read  a  paper  on  The  River 
Agawaniy  an  Essex  County  Waterway^  in  which  he  described 
the  country  through  which  the  river,  now  known  as  the  Ipswich 
River,  flows  down  to  the  sea  at  Plum  Island.  He  told  many  stories 
and  incidents  about  the  life  of  the  valley  during  the  centuries. 
Stereopticon  slides  were  used  to  illustrate  the  paper,  and  through 
these  were  shown  the  beauty  and  attractiveness  of  the  scenery. 

The  tellers  made  their  report,  68  ballots  having  been  cast,  and 
the  Chairman  announced  that  the  following  had  been  elected  to  the 
respective  offices  as  designated : 

President

confidence  and  good  will.      When  you  elected  me  to  this  office 


PB0CBEDINQ8   AT  THE   ANNUAL  MEETING  XI 

thirteen  years  ago,  I  had  no  thought  of  continuing  in  it  so  long ; 
but  the  years  hare  flown  so  rapidly  and  so  pleasantly  that  it  seems 
but  a  short  time  ago  when  my  old  firiend  Gordon  announced  that 
the  President's  address  would  be  in  order.  Then  an  address  re- 
viewing the  work  of  the  year  in  detail  and  remarks  upon  some 
subject  of  immediate  interest  were  thought  of  importance ;  but 
times  and  men  have  changed,  and  it  is  thought  that  inasmuch  as 
the  reports  are  printed  iu  pamphlet  form  and  distributed  to  the 
members  before  die  meeting,  such  an  address  is  unnecessary,  and 
iQStead  of  the  somewhat  elaborate  address  of  the  President  but  a  few 
brief  remarks  are  thought  desirable. 

**No  doubt  the  Society  gains  by  this,  as  in  place  of  the  former 
address  you  have  the  usual  interesting  monthly  lecture.  There  is, 
then,  little  for  me  to  do  but  to  extend  to  you  my  thanks  for  your 
kind  co5peration  with  me  in  the  work  of  the  Society  and  my  best 
wishes  for  your  health  and  happiness  during  the  year  before  us. 

"  For  whatever  I  may  have  done  for  the  Society  during  my  term 
of  office  I  have  been  more  than  repaid  by  the  many  valued  friendships 
which  I  have  made  among  its  members.  At  a  recent  meeting  of  a 
society  of  which  I  am  a  member,  an  officer,  who  had  served  it  for 
fifty  years,  remarked  that  as  he  looked  into  the  kindly  faces  of  those 
before  him,  he  imagined  that  he  had  not  an  enemy  among  them. 
*  Should  I  be  wrong,'  he  said,  *  do  not  let  me  know  it,  for  I  would 
always  cherish  the  illusion.'    I  share  his  sentiment." 

The  meeting  then  adjourned,  and  refreshments  were  served.

REPORT  OF  THE  COUNCIL 

Prepared  by  Gsosoi  Waltss  Chambbrlain,  M.S. 

The  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  has  passed  the 
sixty-ninth  year  of  its  existence  in  its  admirable  and  commodious 
new  building,  located  at  No.  9  Ashburton  Place,  Boston.  Here 
daily  in  its  well-lighted  and  spacious  Library  many  have  accom- 
plished a  successftil  year's  work  under  favorable  conditions. 

Besides  the  usual  routine  business,  the  Council  of  the  Society 
entered  into  deliberations  and  plans  which,  it  is  hoped,  will  effect- 
ively develop  the  future  growth  and  insure  the  permanency  of  the 
Society  as  a  New  England  institution. 

Uses  of  the  New  Building 
At  the  beginning  of  the  year  1913  the  custodian  of  the  building 
was  authorized  by  the  Council  to  tender  the  use  of  various  rooms 
to  patriotic  and  kindred  societies.  The  Boston  Athenaeum  has 
availed  itself  of  storage  space  to  accommodate  nearly  200,000  vol- 
umes, including  many  biilky  modem  newspapers,  and  all  of  its 
statuary,  while  its  building  is  being  reconstructed,  and  yet  this  great 
mass  of  materials  is  out  of  the  sight  of  all  who  visit  the  Library  or 
attend  the  meetings  of  the  Society.  The  Society  for  the  Preserva- 
tion of  New  England  Antiquities  is  occupying  the  room  on  the 
Ashburton  Place  level,  intended  for  a  museum,  and  has  arranged 
three  novel  displays  which  have  attracted  much  attention.  The 
room  on  the  same  floor  next  north  of  this  is  occupied  by  the  Society 
of  Colonial  Wars.  The  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution 
hold  weekly  meetings  in  the  small  hall  on  the  floor  below,  and  on 
the  second  mezzanine  floor,  adjoining  the  Treasurer's  office,  the 
Massachusetts  Society  of  Colonial  Dames  occupies  a  small  room. 
In  one  of  the  Treasurer's  storage  rooms  a  small  space  is  occupied 
by  the  Massachusetts  Society  of  the  Cincinnati.  During  the  year 
there  have  been  frequent  meetings  of  these  and  kindred  societies  in 
the  halls  and  committee  rooms  of  the  new  building. 

Ded\cati(m 
The  dedication  of  the  splendidly  appointed  new  building  occurred 
on  18  March  1913,  the  sixty-eighth  anniversary  of  the  incorporation 
of  the  Society.  A  large  assemblage  gathered  at  the  appointed  hour 
in  Wilder  Hall.  The  exercises  of  the  afternoon  were  presided  over 
by  Hon.  James  Phinney  Baxter,  A.M.,  Litt.D.,  President  of  the 
Society,  who  spoke  of  the  circumstances  that  had  brought  about  the 
meeting  and  touched  upon  the  work  of  those  through  whose  efforts 

(xUi) 


XVI  N.  E.  HISTORIC  OENEALOOICAL  80CIETT 

heredity  and  eugenics  may  be  deduced  and  set  forth.  In  this  field 
of  research  one  can  here  accumulate  and  tabulate  data  bearing  upoa 
the  most  recent  sciences  to  be  developed  in  America. 

The  Society  must  keep  pace  with  the  demands  upon  it.  To  do 
that  properly  and  to  insure  its  ultimate  success  in  gathering  and 
preserving  the  records  of  New  England  families,  it  must  substan- 
tially increase  its  endowment. 

Already  there  have  been  gathered  data  relating  to  nearly  eighty 
per  cent  of  those  inhabitants  of  New  England  who  were  here  prior 
to  1800.  The  preservation  of  this  accumulated  information  is  of 
paramount  interest  to  their  descendants,  now  scattered  throughout 
this  country,  but  it  may  not  be  of  interest  to  any  substantial  part 
of  the  population  of  New  England  a  century  hence,  if  the  character 
of  the  population  changes  as  rapidly  as  it  has  in  the  last  half-century. 

In  the  past  the  larger  part  of  the  membership  of  the  Society  has 
resided  within  fifty  miles  of  Boston  and  within  the  limits  of  New 
England.  Efforts  to  increase  effectively  the  membership  outside  of 
New  England  have  met  with  no  large  degree  of  success. 

The  Council  desires  to  emphasize  the  necessity  of  securing  as  soon 
as  possible  substantial  additions  to  the  Society's  endowment  and 
general  funds,  for  the  general  purposes  of  the  Society,  and  special 
ninds  for  making  the  English  research  and  for  the  bindhig,  copying, 
indexing,  and  cataloguing  of  family  records.  These  needs  offer 
opportunity  for  creating  memorials  to  families  and  individuals  worthy 
of  consideration. 

Service 

The  splendid  contributions  of  this  Society  to  the  literature  of 
American  history  and  genealogy  were  made  by  those  who  rendered 
real  service  to  the  world.  Not  a  struggle  for  wealth  nor  a  desire 
to  boast  of  distinguished  ancestry,  but  faithful,  painstaking  collabo- 
ration on  the  part  of  many  wrought  these  results.  As  the  founders 
of  the  Society  thought,  so  must  the  Council  continue  to  believe 
that  "he  most  lives  who  best  serves."  Above  fault-finding  and 
petty  jealousies,  the  founders  were  true  servants  in  the  world  in 
which  they  lived.  Neither  the  lure  of  the  millionaire's  wealth  nor 
the  fear  of  a  pauper's  grave  influenced  them  to  falsify  the  facts 
which  they  discovered  in  the  records  relating  to  family  history, 
which  has  become  a  sequence  to  antiquity  itself. 

In  the  same  spirit  of  faithful,  painstaking  investigation  must  the 
Society  continue  to  enlarge  the  scope  of  its  work,  the  preservation 
of  family  memorials,  in  the  midst  of  great  commercial  and  racial 
transformations  •

BEFOBTS   OF  COMMITTEES  XYU 

The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Finance,  by  John  Albree, 
Secretary : 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  shows  in  detail  the  financial  trans- 
actions and  the  condition  of  the  Society. 

During  the  year  1913  there  matured  and  were  paid 
$3,000  Central  Ry.  Co.  of  New  Jereey  4*8,  1913. 

There  were  bought  for  investment 
$3,000  Nortbem  Pacific-Great  Northern  Joint  C.  B.  &  Q.  4's,  1921. 

The  Society  has  received  $432 »  being  eighty  per  cent  and  in- 
terest of  the  bequest  of  Mrs.  Mehitable  C.  Coppenhagen  Wilson 
(1836-1911),  the  author  of  John  Gibson  and  His  Descendants. 
From  the  estate  of  S.  Millett  Thompson  of  Providence,  R.  I.,  there 
has  been  received  the  sum  of  $50,  for  "  the  transportation  and  per- 
petual preservation  of  the  manuscript  history  of  the  Thompson  and 
aUied  families.*'  Neither  Mrs.  Wilson  nor  Mr.  Thompson  was  a 
member  of  the  Society. 

Charles  Lamed  (1825-1913)  of  Boston,  who  became  a  life  mem- 
ber in  1882,  bequeathed  $1,000  to  the  Society  "  as  a  permanent  fund, 
the  income  to  be  used  for  the  purchase  of  books  for  the  Library." 


The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Library,  by  Mrs.  Mary 
Stickney  Randall,  Secretary : 

A  year's  occupancy  of  the  new  building  has  given  ample  oppor- 
tunity to  test  thoroughly  the  quarters  provided  for  the  Library  and 
the  clerical  work  connected  therewith,  as  far  as  adequacy  and  con- 
venience are  concerned ;  and  in  every  particular  the  work  of  those 
who  planned  the  building  has  stood  the  test  of  use.  No  suggestion  of 
any  change  has  been  received  by  the  Committee.  With  a  separate 
reading  room  for  members  having  access  to  the  bookstack  and  a 
conversation  room  on  the  same  floor,  and  with  rooms  for  the  clerical 
work  on  the  floor  below,  connected  by  intercommunicating  telephone 
and  the  service  stairs,  the  administration  of  the  Library  is  simplified, 
and  is  made  more  effective  and  less  expensive.  This  arrangement  of 
rooms  provides  opportunity  for  conversation  outside  of  the  reading 
rooms,  making  it  comparatively  easy  to  maintain  a  degree  of  quietness 
hitherto  unattainable — a  most  desirable  state  of  affairs  for  those  readers 
who  use  the  Library  for  serious  study.  Only  one  third  of  the  space  in- 
tended for  books  is  at  present  occupied,  yet  practically  all  of  the 
books  ever  called  for  are  shelved.  The  only  other  factor  of  impor- 
tance, safety,  is  not  so  easily  demonstrated ;  the  extremely  low  rate  of 
insurance,  however,  shows  that  the  judgment  of  experts  on  fire  risks 
confirms  that  of  the  architects  and  engineers  who  planned  the  building. 

With  plenty  of  room  for  books  and  with  shelving  construct^ 
especially  for  the  purpose,  it  has  been  possible  to  make  accessible  to 
members  the  newspaper  collections  and  many  volumes  of  the  modern 
manuscripts,  which,  thanks  to  plenty  of  tables,  have  been  freely  used 
in  comfort,  a  state  of  affairs  not  possible  in  the  old  building. 


XVUl  N.  E.  HISTORIC   GENEALOGICAL   SOCIETY 

In  amount  and  character  the  accessions  of  the  year  have  been 
highly  satisfactory.  Following  a  well-defined  policy  for  the  growth 
of  the  Library,  the  Committee  has  sought  and  found  material  to 
fill  in  and  round  out  the  Society's  collections  in  its  chosen  field, 
and  yet  it  has  jealously  guarded  what  it  has  cost  so  much  to  obtain, 
space  for  books,  exercising  extreme  care  in  the  selection  of  additions, 
whether  acquired  by  gift  or  purchase. 

Col.  Albert  Harrison  Hoyt,  A.M.,  editor  of  the  Register  finom 
1868  to  1875,  donated  a  large  collection  of  historical  and  genea- 
logical pamphlets  to  the  Library,  from  which  many  titles  were  added 
to  the  duplicate  collections. 

It  is  also  gratifying  to  note  that  the  funds  limited  to  the  purchase 
of  books  have  been  adequate  for  present  needs.  The  amount  avail- 
able  for  the  repair  of  old  books  and  binding,  however,  is  woefully  small, 
and  in  this  respect  the  Lib?;ary  is  not  holding  its  own.  There  is 
an  imperative  need  of  a  substantial  sum  immediately  for  these  pur- 
poses ;  and  unless  such  is  soon  forthcoming,  there  will  be  a  heavy 
outlay  in  the  future  for  replacing  books  which  might  have  had  their 
usefulness  extended  many  years  by  having  repairs  made  when 
needed.  Owing  to  the  need  of  economy  on  account  of  the  increased 
expense  of  administration  in  a  larger  building,  the  Library  staff  has 
been  reduced  more  than  thirty  per  cent  in  the  last  two  years,  a  re- 
duction which  necessarily  lessens  the  service  that  can  be  rendered  to 
visitors  and  absolutely  prohibits  any  attempt  to  supply  information 
to  those  who  inquire  by  mail. 

Many  volumes  in  this  Library  show  the  effects  of  long  and  hard 
usage,  if  not  of  abuse,  and  perhaps,  because  of  their  condition,  they 
do  not  inspire  the  respect  which  their  value  should  command ;  hence 
it  is  becoming  necessary  more  frequently  to  ask  readers  to  handle 
the  books  more  carefiilly.  Another  matter  of  considerable  impor- 
tance is  a  tendency  on  the  part  of  most  novices  and  some  veterans 
in  genealogical  research  to  write  with  pen  or  pencil  corrections  or 
additions  into  books  found  in  libraries,  without  the  knowledge  or 
consent  of  the  owners.  The  rules  of  this  Society  prohibit  this,  and 
the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth  provide  substantial  penalties.  This 
Society  many  years  ago  made  ample  provision  for  corrections  and 
additions,  so  that  there  is  no  excuse  for  mutilating  books  and  in- 
juring the  reputation  of  their  authors  by  annotations  which  have 
little  or  no  value.  Still  another  matter  of  importance  which  the 
Committee  believes  can  now  be  carried  out  is  the  maintenance  of  a 
quiet  reading  room.  Observation  throughout  the  year  has  shown  that 
the  number  of  individuals  prone  to  disregard  the  rule  relating  to  con- 
versation is  exceedingly  small.  The  laws  of  the  Commonwealth 
provide  penalties  for  those  also  who  offend  in  this  matter.  With 
tho  approval  of  the  Council  the  Committee  has  posted  in  the  Library 
abstracts  of  the  laws  relating  to  these  abuses,  and  it  suggests  drastic 
action  in  all  cases  of  wilfiil  disregard  of  these  rules. 


REPORTS   OF  0OMMITTEB8  XIX 

The  Report  of  the  C!ommittee  on  Publications,  by  James  Parker 
Parmenter,  A.M.,  LL.B.,  Chairman: 

The  Committee  on  PubKcations  reports  that  during  the  year  1913, 
in  addition  to  the  Register  and  the  Proceedings  at  the  Annual 
Meeting,  which  together  make  a  volume  of  509  pages,  the  Society 
has  published  the  Vital  Records  of  Richmond,  containing  113  pages, 
and  also  two  reprints  from  recent  volumes  of  the  Register  (List 
of  Emigrants  to  America  from  Liverpool,  1697-1707,  55  pages, 
and  Emigrants  from  England,  1773-1776,  206  pages),  the  total 
number  of  pages  for  the  year  being  883. 

From  October  1912  to  October  1913  the  prmting  of  Vital  Rec- 
ords by  the  Society  was  suspended,  in  accordance  with  a  recommen- 
dation of  the  Committee  on  Publications  and  a  vote  of  the  Council ; 
but  at  the  meeting  of  the  Council  in  October  1913  authorization  to 
resume  the  printing  of  Vital  Records  wi^s  given,  and  the  Records  of 
Richmond  were  immediately  sent  to  press.  The  work  of  compiling 
Vital  Records  for  eventual  publication  has  been  continued  through- 
out the  whole  year,  the  Records  of  Granville  are  now  in  the  hands 
of  the  printer  and  will  probably  be  issued  before  the  end  of  Febru- 
ary 1914,  and  other  books  will  appear  in  due  course. 

The  editorial  department  has  now  been  established  for  more  than 
a  year  in  the  Robert  Henry  Eddy  Memorial  Rooms  in  the  So- 
ciety's building  at  9  Ashburton  Place,  and  the  new  quarters  have 
proved  to  be  in  every  way  satisfactory  and  well-adapted  for  the 
purposes  for  which  they  were  designed.  The  fire-proof  safe  in  the 
large  room  has  been  equipped  with  steel  shelving,  and  here  the 
manuscripts  of  the  department  are  practically  free  from  any  liability 
to  destruction  or  injury. 

The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Papers  and  Essays,  by  Mrs. 
Ethel  Stanwood  Bolton,  A.B.,  Chairman : 

The  Committee  on  Papers  and  Essays  respectfully  submits  here- 
with its  annual  report. 

The  following  papers  were  presented  during  the  year  1913  : 

1  January.  —  "Colonial  Libraries:  their  Founders  and  Patrons,"  by 
Austin  Baxter  Keep,  Ph.D.,  of  the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York,  New 
York,  N.  Y. 

5  February,  —  "  Old  Boston,"  by  Walter  Kendall  Watkins,  Secretary 
of  the  Society  of  Colonial  Wars,  Boston,  Mass. 

5  March.  —  "  Whaling  Ventures  and  Adventures,"  by  George  II.  Tripp, 
Librarian  of  the  Free  Public  Library,  New  Bedford,  Mass. 

2  April.  —  "  Christ  Church,"  by  Right  Rev.  William  Lawrence,  D.D.,  of 
Boston,  Mass. 

7  May,  —  "A  Trip  on  a  Great- Lake  P'reighter,"  by  William  Lyman 
Underwood  of  Boston,  Mass. 

/  October,  —  "Colonial  and  Historical  Houses  of  Eastern  Massachu- 
setts," by  Hon.  W.  Prentiss  Parker  of  Roxbury,  Mass. 


XX  N.  B.  HISTORIC   GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY 

6  November,  —  "  Indian  Life,  Legends,  and  Songs,  including  the  Hanrest 
Ceremony  in  Pantomime,"  by  Pe-Ahm-Ei-Squeet  (Floating  Cload). 

S  December.  —  "  Washington,  the  Father  of  the  Nation,"  by  Melville  C 
Freeman  of  Roxbury,  Mass. 

The  meetiDgs  were  held  in  Wilder  Hall  of  our  new  building, 
9  Ashburton  Place.  Six  of  our  papers  presented  during  the  year, 
*'  Colonial  Libraries :  their  Founders  and  Patrons,"  ^  Old  Boston," 
"Whaling  Ventures  and  Adventures,"  "Christ  Church,"  "A  Trip 
on  a  Great-Lake  Freighter,"  and  **  Colonial  and  Historical  Houses 
of  Eastern  Massachusetts,"  were  illustrated  with  lantern  slides. 

The  attendance  this  year  has  increased  markedly,  the  average  for 
the  year  being  three  hundred  and  eight.  The  largest  meeting  on 
record  was  the  annual  meeting  in  February,  when  four  hundred  and 
twenty-five  people  listened  to  Walter  Kendall  Watkins,  and  large 
numbers  were  turned  away. 

On  18  March  the  new  building  was  dedicated.  The  principal 
address  was  delivered  by  Hon.  John  Davis  Long,  LL.D.  The  pro- 
gramme, aside  from  this  address,  included  prayer  by  Rev.  James 
De  Normandie,  D.D.,  of  the  First  Church,  Roxbury,  an  address  and 
short  history  of  the  Society  by  President  James  Phinney  Baxter,  and 
music  by  an  orchestra.  This  meeting  was  attended  by  three  hun- 
dred and  seventy  members  and  friends. 

We  have  continued  our  practice  of  issuing  guest  tickets  and  also 
that  of  having  a  paper  by  some  member  at  the  annual  meeting  in 
February. 

A  salient  feature  of  the  meetings  is  the  growth  in  hospitality 
offered  in  the  tea  room.  The  social  hour  is  responsible  for  greater 
interest  and  additional  membership. 


The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  English  Reseaboh,  by  Charles 
Sherburne  Penhallow,  A.B.,  Chairman: 

The  Committee  on  English  Research  presents  herewith  a  report 
of  its  income  and  expenditures  for  the  year  ending  31  December 
1913. 

This  shows  a  balance  from  the  preceding  year  of  $39.17,  which, 
with  subscriptions  of  $1,081.00,  makes  the  receipts  for  the  year 
$1,120.17,  out  of  which  there  has  been  paid  to  Miss  French  for 
services  and  for  expenses  $969.32,  leaving  a  balance,  31  December 
1913,  of  $150.85. 

The  Committee  desires  to  convey  its  thanks  to  the  Society  and  to 
the  members  who  have  so  kindly  contributed  to  the  Fund,  thereby 
enabling  it  to  retain  Miss  French  in  England  another  year,  and  to 
express  the  hope  that  sufficient  funds  may  be  provided  for  its  future 
needs,  so  that  this  valuable  work  may  be  continued  without  inter- 
ruption.

The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Hebaldhy,  by  Bobert  Dickson 
Weston,  A.B.,  Chairman: 
This  past  year  has  not  been  marked  by  any  special  activity  on  the 
part  of  this  Conmiittee.  The  members  individually  have  continued 
to  give  such  assistance  as  they  could  to  people  who  have  applied  to 
them  for  advice  or  information. 


The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Epitaphs,  by  Pearl  Hildreth 
Parker,  Chairman : 
There  has  not  been  any  meeting  of  this  Conunittee  during  the 
past  year,  and  no  inquiries  have  been  received.  The  work  has 
progressed  so  fiu*  in  eastern  Massachusetts  and  soutHem  New  Hamp- 
shire that  from  now  on  the  task  is  to  obtain  epitaphs  at  a  considerable 
distance  from  Boston.  For  this  reason  I  suggest  that  the  Committee 
for  1914  be  composed  largely  of  members  from  the  other  New 
England  states. 

The  Beport  of  the  Committee  on  Colleotion  of  Becohds,  by

The  Committee  on  Colleotion  of  Records  reports  that  during  the 
year  1913  forty-six  manuscripts  have  been  added  to  the  Library  of 
the  Society.  These  manuscripts  consist  of  church,  oemeteiy,  and 
vital  records,  frunily  genealogies,  Bible  records,  etc. 

There  is  ample  space  in  the  library  for  the  storage  of  all  manu- 
scripts rektine  to  New  England  fimuly  histoiy,  and  the  Committee 
urges  upon  all  die  desirabiUty  of  pla(ung  such  manuscripts  in  the 
fire-proof  building  of  this  Society.

The  Seport  of  the  Committee  on  Inorbase  of  Membership^ 
by  Lawrence  Brainerd,  Chairman : 

The  Committee  on  Increase  of  Membership  submits  the  follow- 
ingreport  for  the  year  1913 : 

Dunng  1913  one  hundred  and  sixty  persons  ha^e  been  admitted 
to  the  S^ety — ^an  increase  of  twenty-one  oyer  the  preceding  year. 
Of  this  number  fifteen  were  directly  recommended  by  the  Com- 
mittee, and  the  acquisition  of  about  twenty  others  is  due  to  invi- 
tations issued  by  individual  members  of  this  Committee. 

The  passine  away  of  forty-one  members  has  been  reported,  eight- 
een members  have  resigned,  and  fourteen  have  been  dropped  from 
the  enrolment,  leaving  a  net  increase  of  eighty-seven  for  1913.  The 
total  membership  of  the  Society  is  now  twelve  hundred  and  ninety- 
six — ^the  largest  enrolment  in  me  history  of  the  Society. 

At  the  stated  monthly  meetings  a  member  of  the  Conmiittee  has 
been  officially  in  attendance,  stationed  at  a  desk  at  the  entrance  of 
Wilder  Hall,  thereby  giving  visitors  and  strangers  an  opportunity 
to  join  the  Society. 


REPORT  OF  THE  LIBRARIAN 

Presented  bj  Wiluam  Pbisoott  6i 


The  Sodetfe  Libnuy  10  now  settled  in  its  new  qnarters,  where 
members  throngfaout  the  year  and  visitors  since  1  April  have  been 
able  to  consult  its  books,  newspapers,  and  manuscripts  in  spacious 
reading  rooms,  firee  fix>m  the  distracting  noises  of  heavy  street  traffic 
widiout  and  needless  conversation  within,  amply  lighted  and  heated« 
and  supplied  with  an  abundance  of  firesh  air,  which  is  humidified 
when  necessary.  Never  before  have  the  members  had  direct  access 
to  so  hum  a  collection  of  genealogical  data ;  never  before  has  the 
Library  been  used  so  much  by  members.  The  location  of  the  Li- 
brary, in  dose  proximity  to  the  three  great  record  offices  of  the 
City,  Gmnty,  and  State,  and  in  relation  to  the  business  district  of 
the  City,  the  terminals  of  the  railroads,  and  the  stations  of  the  elec- 
tric lines,  is  ideal.  Location  and  facilities  combined  enhance  the 
value  of  membership  to  all  pursuing  genealogical  investigations. 

There  is  no  abatement  of  the  interest  in  family  history.  Not- 
withstanding the  interruption  in  the  use  of  the  Library  by  the  pub- 
lic firom  1  August  1912  until  1  April  1913,  it  quickly  regaindl  its 
normal  average  number  of  visitors,  and  is  now  being  used  fully 
twenty  per  cent  more  than  in  the  old  building.  Furthermore,  in- 
terest is  not  only  increasing  but  also  is  broadening  in  scope,  a  larger 
number  making  researches  outside  of  the  beaten  tracks  so  much 
travelled  in  the  past,  some  even  seeking  data  for  scientific  purposes. 
It  is  gratifying  to  note,  also,  that  the  proportion  of  members  to 
non-members  using  the  Library  is  steadily  increasing,  a  condition 
perhaps  due  largely  to  the  greater  fiacilities  enjoyed  by  members 
and  possibly  in  a  slight  degree  to  the  reduced  opportunities  to  usurp 
the  privileges  of  membership. 

One  brandi  of  this  increased  interest  is  the  quest  for  the  English 
ancestiy  of  American  families.  The  Society  possesses  an  excdlent 
collection  of  books,  selected  especiaUy  for  this  purpose,  which  is 
rapidly  growing  and  is  proving  very  useftil.  Li  fact,  the  Library 
is  so  strong  in  this  department  that  a  number  of  American  genealo- 
gists, who  personally  make  researches  in  England,  prefer  to  do  all 
that  can  be  done  from  printed  works  in  Boston  rather  than  in  Lon- 
don, because  of  the  better  facilities  here  for  quick  access  to  the  books 
wanted.  Complaint  comes  from  England  diat  Americans  are  not 
supporting  the  publication  of  English  genealogical  books  as  much 
as  they  should ;  that  they  consult  such  books  in  public  libraries  in- 
stead of  buying ;  and  the  suggestion  is  made  that  individuals  sub- 

(xxiv) 


=  *Ftv,    LDC)!-  TiG  "-IC'LTT^ 


BEPOBT   OF  THE   LIBRARIAN  XXV 

scribe  for  the  series  of  records  of  a  particular  county  in  which  they 
are  interested  and  thus  help  the  work  along.  While  such  support 
may  accelerate  the  rate  of  publication  to  some  extent,  the  results  to 
the  individual  subscribing  would  be  of  problematical  value.  In  mak- 
ing an  English  research  one  needs  access  to  a  large  number  of  vol- 
umes of  different  kinds,  and  the  purchase  of  so  many  books  is  in 
most  cases  not  practical  for  the  individual.  The  great  libraries  in 
Boston,  New  York,  Washington,  Chicago,  and  otlier  cities  having 
large  genealogical  collections  alone  can  furnish  the  books  needed  for 
such  a  search.  The  more  practical  way  of  getting  into  print  English 
records  desired  by  Americans  would  be  for  the  interested  individuals 
to  make  substantial  cash  contributions  for  the  publication  of  those 
particular  records.  Arrangements  undoubtedly  could  be  made  with 
some  of  the  English  learned  societies  for  publishing  records  desired 
in  America,  when  Americans  are  willing  to  cooperate  substantially 
in  the  manner  suggested  above. 

Another  use  of  the  Library,  which  occasionally  comes  to  the 
knowledge  of  the  Librarian  because  the  person  engaged  in  the  work 
comes  to  him  for  advice,  is  along  scientific  lines,  where  information 
relative  to  inheritable  traits  is  wanted  for  various  purposes.  Usually 
such  searches  are  made  quietly  by  trustworthy  experts.  The  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  these  quests,  .whicli  come  to  the  Librarian's 
attention,  however,  indicates  a  possible  future  use  of  the  Library  in 
this  respect  of  considerable  importance.  Boston,  because  of  its 
great  genealogical  collections  and  the  excellent  registration  of 
vital  statistics  of  the  Commonwealth,  accessible  here,  offers  ex- 
ceptional opportunities  for  getting  data  on  heredity  on  a  scale 
large  enough  to  be  useful  for  guidance  in  the  tlusk  of  improving  or 
at  least  maintaining  the  standard  of  the  race  in  America.  The 
increase  of  the  proportion  of  the  desirable  class  and  of  the  upper 
strata  of  the  great  normal  classes,  the  decrease  of  the  inefficient, 
and  the  elimination  of  the  undesirable  classes  is  a  matter  of  state 
and  national  concern  that  is  receiving  much  attention  nowadays. 
The  amalgamation  of  many  races  in  Ajmerica  is  gradually  producing 
a  new  race,  which  will  differ  from  any  of  its  component  parts,  and 
whose  standard  will  depend  upon  the  proportion  and  quality  of  the 
classes  whidi  produce  it.  Wise  regulation  of  the  family  and  of  the 
admission  of  immigrants,  based  on  accurate  data,  can  modify  its 
iiiture  generations  for  the  better:  neglect  may  1^  ultimately  to 
national  disaster.  Li  solving  some  of  the  problems  connected  with 
these  important  subjects,  as  far  as  heredity  is  concerned,  the  Library 
of  this  Society  may  become  extremely  useful. 

The  total  accessions  for  the  year  number  836  volumes,  1457  pam- 
phlets, and  402  miscellaneous  articles.  Of  these,  325  volumes,  119 
pamphlets,  and  321  miscellaneous  articles  were  purchased;  423 
volumes,  1311  pamphlets,  and  81  miscellaneous  articles  were  given ; 
and  88  volumes  and  27  pamphlets  were  received  in  exchange. 


ZXn  N.  E.  HI8T0BIG  OENEALOOICAL  80CIETT 

These,  added  to  the  estimated  number  in  the  L9>rai7  aa  reported 
last  year,  give  38,313  yoliimea  and  37,705  pampldeta  aa  the  ap- 
proximate nmnber  in  the  libraiy  on  31  December  1913.  Three 
hmidred  and  serenty-two  genealogies  were  acquired  during  the  year. 
The  accessions  show  an  increase  of  thirty-fiye  per  cent  above  the 
average  of  the  eleven  preceding  years,  and  the  genealogies  acquired 
during  the  incumbency  of  the  present  Librarian  total  4,056,  an 
average  of  338  per  year.  The  increase  this  year  is  due  largely  to 
the  generosity  of  Col.  Albert  Harrison  Hoyt,  who  gathered,  during 
the  period  that  he  ¥ras  officially  connected  with  the  Society,  many 
genealogical  publications,  some  of  which  have  since  become  ex- 
tremely rare,  which  he  kindly  donated  to  the  Society. 

The  new  home  of  the  Libraiy  has  proved  entirely  satisfiuAoiy  in 
every  respect.  Here  the  Librarian  has  met  the  demands  made  upon 
the  Society,  ranging  from  the  consultation  of  a  single  book  in  the 
Library  to  the  temporary  storage  of  200,000  volumes  in  the  bnildmg, 
and  from  the  use  of  a  committee  room  for  a  single  meeting  by  a 
kindred  society  to  the  domiciling  completely  of  several  such  societies, 
and  this  without  interference  in  any  way  with  the  regular  work  of 
any  department  ol  this  Society. 

Now  that  the  matter  of  safe  and  adequate  quarters  for  the  Libraiy 
is  disposed  of,  its  greatest  need  is  endowment :  first,  in  order  thi2t 
growdi  and  care  ipay  receive  proper  attention ;  and  secondly,  that 
its  permanency  may  be  assured  in  the  foture,  when  local  interest,  on 
which  it  has  depended  so  much  in  the  past,  may  decrease  because 
of  the  changing  character  of  the  populaticm.

O  FiUher,  Lord  of  Heaven  and  Earth,  whose  life  flows  through 
all  nature  and  all  souls,  we  thank  Thee  that  we  live  at  the  close  of 
so  many  ages  rich  in  their  heritage  for  our  warning  or  our  guidance, 
and  that  all  that  was  good  and  true  in  them  remains  to  make  our 
Ufe  better.

As  we  gather  in  this  new  abode,  to  be  the  storehouse  of  this  heri- 
tage, wilt  Thou  accept  its  dedication  to  Thee  and  prosper  us  in  all 
its  purposes.  Here,  as  we  ponder  the  deeds  of  our  fathers  and  the 
story  of  their  lives,  may  the  God  of  our  fathers  be  the  God  of  their 
children. 

May  the  generosity  which  has  reared  these  walls  be  continued  in 
the  generous  use  of  mind  and  heart  for  all  that  makes  for  human 
welfare. 

We  thank  Thee  that  we  live  at  the  beginning  of  so  many  ages 
with  new  and  greater  obligations  and  opportunities  for  service  fcnr 
our  fellow  beings  and  for  Thee.  May  this  age  be  better  than  the 
last,  and  the  next  age  better  than  this,  by  what  we  bequeath  unto  it, 
and  so  nearer  and  nearer  may  Thy  kingdom  come  from  age  to  age. 
And  unto  Thee,  in  the  spirit  of  Him  who  said :  **  To  this  end  waa 
I  bom,  and  for  this  cause  came  I  into  the  world,  that  I  should  bear 
witness  unto  the  truth,"  be  all  honor  and  gloiy,  thanksgiving  and 
praise,  forever  and  ever.     Amen. 


ADDRESS  OF  THE  PRESIDENT, 
HON.  JAMES  PHINNEY  BAXTER,  A.M.,  LITT.D. 

Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 

The  pleasant  duty  falls  to  me  of  welcoming  you  to  diis  new 
home  of  our  Society,  which  we  are  to  dedicate  to-day,  and  it  seems 

E roper,  before  I  introduce  to  you  the  speaker  of  the  day,  to  refier 
riefly  to  the  past. 

In  childhood  we  were  told  for  our  encouragement  that  "  Grreat 
streams  from  little  fountains  fiow,**  and  we  have  since  learned  that 
the  most  important  achievements  can  always  be  traced  to  hmnble 
beginnings. 

The  five  men  whom  this  Society  should  hold  forever  in  grateful 
remembrance,  Drake,  Shattuck,  Ewer,  Montague,  and  Thornton, 
knew  this  when  they  first  met  in  the  small  upper  room  in  Court 
Square,  and  without  doubt  they  looked  forward  to  the  time  when 
the  little  seed  which  they  then  planted  would  grow  like  the  mustard 
seed  into  a  flourishing  tree,  for  it  has  been  said  that  the  pioneer  in 
a  worthy  enterprise  is  always  endowed  with  prophetic  vision. 

It  is  only  sixty-nine  years  ago  that  these  men  founded  this  So- 
ciety. Three  years  later  they  removed  to  a  building  adjoining  the 
one  they  at  first  occupied  in  Court  Square,  where  they  remained 
until  1851,  when  it  was  found  necessary  to  seek  a  new  home.  This 
was  found  at  No.  5  Tremont  Street.  Here  the  Society  remained  tcx 
seven  years,  when  again  it  was  obliged  for  want  of  room  to  remove 
to  more  spacious  quarters,  and  from  1858  until  1870  it  occupied 
the  second  stoiy  of  No.  13  Bromfield  Street. 


DEDICATION  OF  THE  NEW  BUILDING  xlvii 

During  these  jeare  the  Society  flourished  so  greatly  that  the 
possession  of  a  building  of  its  own  began  to  be  discussed.  This  was 
a  project  which  seem^  to  some  much  too  ambitious,  but  by  the 
enei^  and  generosity  of  a  few  enthusiastic  men,  led  by  Marshall 
P.  Wilder,  the  property  on  Somerset  Street,  which  we  have  recently 
vacated,  was  purchased  at  a  cost  of  about  forty-three  thousand  dol- 
lars. No  doubt  it  was  then  believed  that  the  Society  had  found  a 
permanent  home,  for  then  fire-proof  buildings  had  been  hardly 
thought  of;  now  they  are  considered  a  necessity,  especially  for  the 
preservation  of  literary  and  art  treasures  which,  if  destroyed,  money 
cannot  replace.  It  was  this  necessity  that  for  some  years  past 
compelled  a  constant  consideration  of  a  new  building,  so  constructed 
as  to  protect  our  invaluable  collections  from  loss.  It  was  known 
that  such  a  building  would  cost  a  large  sura,  and,  besides,  the  lot 
we  had  was  hardly  suitable  for  it.  Here  I  think  I  ought  to  remind 
you  of  the  debt  we  owe  to  Edmund  Dana  Barbour,  for  it  was 
through  his  initiative  that  we  acquired  the  land  upon  which  our 
new  building  stands;  indeed,  had  it  not  been  for  his  enthusiasm 
and  business  energy,  I  doubt  if  we  should  be  here  to-day.  Mr. 
Barbour  was  also  the  father  of  the  Vital  Record  law,  which  has 
made  possible  that  valuable  publication,  the  Vital  Recoids  of  Mas- 
sachusetts. 

I  have  no  ambition  to  be  considered  a  dispenser  of  bouquets,  but 
I  am  sure  I  shall  not  be  criticised  for  alluding  to  some  of  our  asso- 
ciates to  whom  we  are  indebted  for  the  possession  of  this  building. 

I  cannot  enumerate  them  all,  though  I  would  gladly  do  so,  nor 
can  I  name  them  in  order ;  but  first  I  wish  to  say  that  to  our  late 
Treasurer,  Mr.  Bolton,  and  to  our  Librarian,  Mr.  Greenlaw,  we 
are  under  great  obligations.  Mr.  Bolton  not  only  rendered  the 
Society  invaluable  service  in  raising  funds,  but  also  in  disposing  of 
its  property  on  Somerset  Street  to  advantage.  Mr.  Greenlaw,  too, 
added  largely  to  the  building  fund,  and  from  the  first  has  devoted 
himself  with  tireless  energy  to  the  construction  of  the  building. 
Mr.  Henry  W.  Cunningham,  of  the  Council  of  1911,  also  rendered 
most  valuable  aid.  I  should  of  course  mention  Nathaniel  J.  Rust, 
David  H.  Brown,  Newton  Talbot,  the  heirs  of  William  T.  Eustis, 
David  G.  Haskins,  Jr.,  Miss  Fanny  Foster,  James  J.  Goodwin, 
Isaac  J.  Greenwood,  David  P.  Kimball,  Mrs.  John  E.  Hudson, 
William  S.  HiUs,  Miss  Helen  F.  KimbaU,  Miss  Hannah  H.  Kim- 
ball, Miss  Caroline  L.  W.  French,  Mrs.  James  B.  Case,  and  the 
Massachusetts  Society  of  Colonial  Dames,  whose  large  contributions 
have  made  the  construction  of  this  building  possible.  Two  other 
large  donors  I  would  gladly  allude  to  if  it  were  possible.  There 
are  others  who  have  shown  their  devotion  to  the  Society  by  contri- 
butions to  its  building  fund  of  money  and  services.  Their  names 
wiU  be  preserved  in  its  archives  and  passed  on  to  those  who  will 
have  the  privilege  of  celebrating  its  centenary.

When  that  event  occnrsy  many  changes  will  have  takm  place. 
Few  if\^o  are  here  to-daj  will  participate  in  it ;  but  I  questioii 
whether  the  Society  will  have  a  more  loyal  body  of  men  and  women 
than  it  has  to-day,  or  one  more  devoted  to  the  preservation  of  the 
memory  of  its  founders  or  the  practice  of  their  virtues.

Respected  Sibs: 

While  I  much  regret  my  inability  to  be  present  at  the  Dedication  of  the 
Society's  New  Building,  I  am  grateful  beyond  expression  for  the  honor 
you  confer  on  the  name  and  services  of  my  late  father,  Marshall  P.  Wilder. 
But  how  would  his  very  heart  and  soul  have  rejoiced,  could  he  hav^ 
foreseen  what  the  energies  and  personal  influence  of  his  cokborers  aod 
their  associates  would  have  accomplished,  during  these  lata*  years,  thm 
bringing  and  adding  new  lustre  and  glory  to  the  &ine  of  this  now  re-

And  as  you  sacredly  treasure  its  prestigCi  mid  the  rolling  years,  nuqr

ADDRESS  OF  HON.  JOHN  DAVIS  LONG,  LL.D. 

As  a  citizen  of  New  England,  proud  of  its  foundations  and  of 
its  inspiring  influences  in  moulding  our  republic,  especially  as  a 
descendant  of  its  Pilgrim  and  Puritan  stoc^,  and  also  as  a  member 
of  your  kindred  institution,  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society, 
-which  highly  appreciates  your  taking  on  your  shoulders  the  gene- 
alogical department  of  historical  work,  I  am  happy  to  join  with  you, 
on  this  six^-eighth  anniversary  of  your  incorporation,  in  the  dedi- 
cation of  this  your  new  building  and  home.  I  congratulate  you  on 
its  ample  provision  for  your  ne^,  its  central  and  convenient  site, 
its  fire-proof  receptacles  for  your  invaluable  genealogical  librazy, 
its  rooms  for  editorial  and  clerical  work,  and  not  least  on  its  kitdien 
and  larder,  which,  suggestive  of  Thanksgiving  and  mince  pies,  will 
minister  to  those  cravings  of  die  inner  man  which  the  good  old  cue- 


DEDICATION  OF  THE  NEW  BUILDING  xlix 

toms  of  New  England  and  the  creature-comforting  benevolence  of 
her  mothers  in  Israel  never  failed  to  satisfy. 

I  congratulate  you,  too,  upon  the  notable  work  which  for  these 
many  years  you  have  done  in  g^iealoeical  research  and  illumina- 
tion. Nor  is  it  a  mere  divertive  or  unmiitful  work.  It  is  rather  a 
part  of  education  itself.  Pride  of  ancestry  is  as  natural  to  man  as 
the  instinct  of  religion,  and  indeed  in  some  races  —  is  it  too  much 
to  say  in  our  own : —  is  an  element  in  religion.  It  is  easy  to  smile 
at  the  ambitious  endeavor  to  trace  back  one's  lineage  to  ancestors  of 
repute,  easy  to  say  that  it  would  be  much  better  to  be  a  good  an- 
cestor than  to  claim  to  have  one  in  the  remote  piist.  But  what 
better  stimulus  to  a  title  to  respect  for  character  and  worth  can  there 
be  than  the  conscious  obligation  to  be  worthy  of  an  honest  and  re- 
spected ancestry?  If,  in  the  tracing  back,  there  be  found  now  and 
then  a  black  sheqp,  it  by  contrast  only  etnphasizes  the  merit  of  the 
&i  more  frequmt  white  one  which  is  the  one  that  sets  the  standard. 
It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  the  interest  in  genealogical  tracing, 
tlie  search  for  descent  from  good  kinsfolk  in  past  generations,  which 
is  so  rapidly  spreading  among  our  people,  is  a  very  stimulating  and 
uplifting  feature  in  the  education  of  our  time.  Noblesse  oblige^ 
and  the  noblesse  of  a  New  England  ancestry,  thus  reillumined 
and  brought  home,  is  a  noblesse  ^at  is  of  far  more  worth  and  honor 
than  that  of  any  royalty  or  aristocracy  of  any  other  land  or  age.  Who 
recognizes  this  more  than  our  dear  old  poet,  philosopher,  and  wit. 
Dr.  Hobnes,  who  in  his  charming  literary  productions  so  loyally 
and  often  pays  tribute  to  the  Brahmin  element  in  our  New  England 
forbears?  What  else  accounts  for  this  multiplicity  of  family  gene- 
alogical volumes,  so  numerous  now  that  hardly  any  New  England 
£Eamly  is  without  its  full  and  detailed  record,  in  handsome  binding, 
of  every  individual  in  its  line  from  the  colonial  settlement  down 
to  now?  It  is  true  that  there  are  names  after  names,  an  over- 
whelming migority  of  them,  that  suggest  no  conspicuous  heights  in 
scholarship  or  war  or  literature  or  public  office.  But  there  is  what 
is  better,  what  is  especially  true  of  our  New  England  families,  a 
sterling  average  of  hard,  practical  common  sense,  of  faithftil,  in- 
dustrious, temperate,  fiu^,  and  uaeftil  living,  of  wholesome  in- 
fluence in  church  and  school  and  social  life,  and  of  bold,  manly, 
outspoken,  independent  free  thought  in  politics  and  religion.  It  is 
not  a  &idt,  but  is  certainly  an  incompleteness,  that  we  are  forever 
basing  our  estimate  of  our  New  England  on  the  fame  of  a  compara- 
tively few  conspicuous  names.  We  ring  the  changes  on  those  of  a 
score  or  two  of  orators,  poets,  military  heroes,  and  literary  lights, 
forgetting  that  their  prominence  is  only  a  littie,  and  perhaps  not 
always  justly,  above  tiiat  of  the  average  culture  and  service  of  the 
great  mass.  The  fact  is  that  it  is  this  average  which  most  correctiy 
represents  the  true  New  England  ideal.  Of  the  especially  con- 
spicuous men  and  women  of  our  own  time  but  few  will  outlive  the 


1  N.  E.  HISTOBIO  6ENEALOGI0AL  SOODBTT 

oblivion  of  the  next  fifty  years.  So  in  the  past ;  and  it  is  die 
general  body  of  our  ancestors,  represented  and  living  again  in  your 
genealogical  volumes,  whose  works  do  follow  them  and  whoee  strong 
traits  and  strenuous  influence  you  so  well  impress  in  your  monumental 
literature. 

You  are  of  the  Pilgrim  and  Puritan  stock.  The  theology  of  the 
Puritan  was  hard.  His  disciplinary  exactions  were  severe.  His 
range  was  narrow,  while  the  Pilgrim  was  more  liberal.  But  from 
these  has  sprung  our  large  life,  as  the  kernel  springs  to  the  fuU  com 
in  the  ear.  One  thinks  of  the  impressive  vision  of  Elzekiel,  who 
saw  in  a  valley  only  dry  bones.  But  lo  1  at  the  whisper  of  the 
spirit  of  the  Lord  they  rose  and  took  form  and  vrere  clothed  with 
flesh,  though  still  dumb  and  lifeless.  And  lo  I  again,  at  the  whisper 
of  the  Lord  and  the  prayer  of  the  prophet,  the  breath  and  flesh  of  lift 
inspired  them  and  they  lived  and  moved  and  had  their  being.  So 
I  love  to  think  that  the  spirit  of  the  Lord,  through  the  intellectual 
and  moral  and  material  agencies  of  successive  generations  of  New 
England,  has  been  the  vitalizing  agency  which  has  kept  alive  and 
made  still  more  alive  and  efficient  whatever  in  the  quidities  of  our 
ancestors  was  best,  however  infelicitous  the  environment,  which  haa 
inspired  our  advancing  civilization  and  overspread  and  toned  the 
whole  republic,  which  has  assimilated  all  the  new  elements  that  have 
swarmed  in  upon  us  firom  foreign  lands,  bringing  their  various  racial 
antecedents  and  religious  and  social  phases,  and  which  is  now  mould- 
ing them  into  this  new,  teeming,  strenuous,  all-absorbing,  and,  I 
pray  we  may  say,  hopeful  American  democracy. 

In  the  first  settlement  of  New  England  the  ministers  were  es- 

Ejially  in- evidence.  They  gave  tone  to  the  time  and  color  to 
tory ;  and  the  communities  which  they  largely  guided  seem,  ae 
we  look  back,  to  be  enveloped  in  the  ecclesiastical  atmosphere.  But 
it  is  a  mistake  to  suppose  that  they  were  supreme.  Winthrop  never 
failed  to  keep  in  mind  the  supremacy  of  the  civil  authority.  In 
striking  change  from  the  English  procedure  the  probate  of  wUls  and 
the  jurisdiction  over  estates  of  deceased  persons  were  here  taken 
from  ecclesiastical  and  lodged  at  once  in  civil  courts.  There  was,  by 
and  large,  an  immense  deal  of  human  nature  in  evidence.  The  pic- 
ture of  that  early  time,  if  it  could  be  reproduced,  would  present  a 
body  of  men  and  women  busy  in  the  ordinary  and  very  mundane 
activities  of  life,  cultivating  the  farms,  plowing  the  seas,  trading 
with  foreign  lands  and  among  themselves  with  a  shrewd  eve,  no 
doubt,  to  the  main  chance,  engaged  in  near  and  remote  fisheries, 
maintaining  the  school,  the  trainband,  and  the  church,  and  holding 
town  meetings.  The  energies  which  to-day  throw  our  great  railroad 
transportation  lines  across  the  continent  and  cut  the  Isthmian  canal 
and  yoke  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  and  launch  great  steamships  on 
the  ocean,  each  carrying  in  its  hold  more  than  the  whole  product  of 
a  year's  industry  in  their  day,  are  not  peculiar  to  us,  but  are  only 


DEDICATION  OP  THE   NEW  BUILDING  li 

the  same  masterAil  energies  which  in  their  narrower  range  found 
exercise  in  local  fields,  in  a  contest  over  the  site  of  a  meetinghouse 
or  the  fixing  of  a  contested  boundary  line  or  the  election  of  a  militia 
captain,  and  only  needed  the  larger  field  to  exhibit  the  same  larger 
achievement  as  our  own. 

It  must  not  be  thought  that  the  New  England  settlers  indulged  in 
any  mere  dream  of  founding  a  Utopia,  or  Saints'  Best.  They  were 
neithejp  visionary  philosophers  nor  religious  fanatics.  The  few  ex- 
ceptions prove  the  rule.  Their  early  records  deal  with  everyday 
details  of  farm  and  lot,  of  domestic  afi*airs,  of  straying  cattle  and 
swine,  of  runaway  apprentices  and  scolding  wives,  of  barter  with 
the  Indians,  of  whippings  and  stocks  —  sometimes  we  wish  we  had 
these  back  again  —  and  fines  for  various  naughtinesses,  of  debt  and 
legal  process  and  probate,  of  elections  and  petty  offices,  civil  and 
military,  of  the  alarum  of  war  now  and  then,  and  of  the  inevitable 
assessment  of  taxes  —  alas  I  the  still  unsolved  and  harrowing  prob- 
lem of  our  own  day.  Their  legislative  records  smack  very  much 
more  of  the  concerns,  and  the  common  concerns,  of  this  world  than 
of  concern  for  the  next.  They  are  the  records  of  a  hard,  practical 
life.  There  is  in  them  no  cant  nor  sniffling,  none  of  that  preten- 
tious sanctimoniousness  which  is  so  flippantly  charged  upon  the 
Puritan.  There  is  less  reference  to  theology  than  to  ways  and 
means.  The  practical  question,  for  instance,  of  restraining  the 
liquor  traffic  and  evil  seems  to  have  taxed  the  ingenuity  of  their 
lawmakers  and  magistrates  very  much  as  it  does  in  the  case  of  their 
descendants.  There  is  no  waste  of  words  in  their  grim  legislative 
phraseolc^,  but  a  plain,  wholesome  dealing  with  their  material 
needs.  One  cannot  read  it  and  not  feel  the  sense  of  justice  and 
righteousness  which  sought,  rigorously  indeed  but  honestly,  to  in- 
stitute a  commonwealth  and  towns  which  should  be  animated  by 
virtue,  thrift,  education,  the  sanctity  and  sweetness  of  home,  fear 
of  God,  and  fair  dealing  among  men.  They  were  developing  that 
sturdy  spirit  of  the  New  England  town  life  which,  till  sixty  or  seventy 
years  ago,  was  so  unique,  but  which  since  then  has  gradually  been 
moulded  anew  by  the  tremendous  influences  of  easy  and  diffused  rail- 
road transportation,  by  the  upheaval  of  the  Civil  War,  by  the  scat- 
tering far  and  wide  of  the  New  England  seed,  by  the  inundating 
influx  of  foreign  immigration,  by  the  rapid  growth  of  cities  which 
were  then  unknown  and  in  which  is  now  congested  a  good  deal  more 
than  half  of  our  whole  population,  by  the  resulting  exhausting 
drain  into  them  of  the  rural  sons  and  daughters,  and  by  the  general 
change  from  diflusion  to  consolidation  and  from  the  simplest  and 
most  meagre  to  the  most  profuse  and  complex  material  resources. 

There  is  this  striking  peculiarity  in  our  early  history.  We  began 
like  Minerva,  sprung  from  the  brow  of  Jove,  mature  and  fiill — 
please  excuse  the  chestnut,  but  it  is  so  pat.  The  civilization  of 
other  peoples  has  been  a  slow  evolution  from  the  lowest  and  most 


lii  N.  E.  HISTOBIO  QENEALOOIOAL  80CIETT 

barbaroua  beginningSy  aided  by  influxes  from  outside,  either  througli 
invasion  or  conquest.  Our  fathers  began  at  the  summit  of  all  past 
attainment.  They  were  men  of  mind,  of  education,  of  forthlooking 
thought,  and  of  an  inherited  maturity.  Hence  they  needed  little, 
as  they  received  little,  from  outside  themselves.  We  have  advanced 
wonderfully  indeed  in  arts,  in  physical  appliances  and  agencies,  in 
methods  of  culture ;  but  I  doubt  whether  we  have  made  any  corre- 
sponding advance  in  the  fundamentals  of  intellectual  power,  of 
mental  grasp  and  outlook. 

As  we  look  back  upon  this  swift  transition  from  the  rural  life  of 
the  early  time  to  the  complex  and  crowded  municipalization  of  to- 
day, I  am  sure  that  this  whole  subject  of  the  inunense  growth  of 
cities,  like  our  own,  suggests  a  great  deal  for  you  to  consider.     We 
are  no  longer  the  New  World.     In  a  sense  we  are  venerable  with 
age.     The  world  now  moves  so  swiftly  that  a  hundred  years  are 
more  than  a  thousand  of  the  old  time.     We  look  back  upon  a  vista 
of  three  centuries,  and  it  is  crowded  frdl  and  increasingly  with  great 
achievements  in  behalf  of  humanity  and  for  civil  and  religioas  liber- 
ty, with  conspicuous  names  of  heroic  men  and  women  who  lived  . 
not  afar  off  but  were  with  us  and  of  us,  and  with  colossal  events — 
the  success  of  popular  government,  the  emancipation  of  religious 
thought  and  faith,  the  abolition  of  slavery,  the  inventions  of  science 
which  have  put  the  round  globe  into  the  hollow  of  man's  hand  and 
made  the  giant  forces  of  nature  obedient  servants  of  human  will. 
With  what  an  ancestry  shall  we  fear  to  compare  ours?    With  what 
dead  or  living,  in  other  lands  or  other  times,  shall  we  be  ashamed 
to  compai*e  our  own  ?    The  soil  is  rich  with  the  ashes  of  the  good 
and  great ;  and  our  tribute  goes  out  to  them  the  more  warmly  be- 
cause it  goes  not  to  a  few,  to  an  illustrious  warrior  here  or  ^reat 
benefactor  there,  but  to  the  whole  body  of  those  plain,  sturdy,  God- 
fearing, and   self-respecting  men  and  women,  whose   names   and 
memories  you  are  so  wisely  and  loyally  preserving,  and  who  so 
raised  the  general  level  of  die  ordinary  life  of  their  time  that  any 
distinction  among  them  which  they  made  was  often  the  accident  of 
circumstances  and  any  distinction  which  we  should  make  would 
often  be  an  injustice.     What  legacy  have  they  not  handed  down  to 
us  to  hand  down  to  our  children?    With  them  bdiind  us,  what  is 
not  our  duty  as  the  living,  accountable  citizens  of  the  New  England 
of  to-day  to  those  who  shall  follow  us  ?     Shall  we  lower  the  stand- 
ard?    Shall  we  not  rather  advance  it  still  higher?    I  believe  that 
amid  all  the  clouds  that  overshadow  us,  all  the  perplexing  and  ter- 
rible problems  that  confront  us,  the  spirit  of  progress,  not  in  any 
one  party  but  in  all  parties,  is  the  better  and  holier  and  prevailing 
spirit  of  our  time.     For  we  feel  as  never  before  the  pleading  of  the 
world  of  our  fellow  men  and  women,  so  many  of  them  in  the  slough 
of  despair,  in  the  stress  of  poverty,  between  the  millstones  of  temp- 
tation and  ignorance  and  crime,  who  appeal  to  us  to  lend  them  from

our  safe  and  high  vantage  ground  a  helping  hand,  to  reach  out  and 
lift  them  up  by  our  aid  and  by  our  example.  There  never  was  a 
time  when  the  moral  instinct  of  humanity  was  more  sensitive  than 
now.  Peace,  undisturbed  by  the  wordy  vociferations  of  the  men 
who  are  in  politics,  or  even  of  the  women  who  would  be,  spreads 
her  white  wings  over  the  land.  The  better  sentiment  of  the  coun- 
try, may  I  not  say  the  better  sentiment  of  the  whole  world,  is 
springing  to  the  ideal,  nay,  to  the  practical,  abolition  of  war,  and 
putting  in  its  stead  international  arbitration,  the  arbitrament  not  of 
the  sword  but  of  the  judicial  tribunal.  There  is  no  field  for  us 
to-day  on  which  to  battle  with  bloody  arms  for  civil  ireedom,  for 
religious  toleration,  or  against  beast  or  savage  foe.  Our  conflict 
must  be  with  the  insidious  forces  that  war  upon  the  moral  sentiment, 
that  threaten  corruption  of  our  social  and  political  fabric,  that  invade 
the  manhood  and  purity  and  truth  of  men  and  women,  and  that 
impair  the  sanctity  and  security  of  the  home.  While  in  societies 
like  yours  we  keep  bright  the  record  of  the  past,  let  us  not  forget 
that  the  salvation  of  the  future  is  in  our  hands,  and  that  the  best 
tribute  we  can  pay  to  our  ancestors  is  to  maintain  and  still  further 
to  advance  the  standard  they  set  for  New  England  institutions  and 
character. 


At  the  conclusion  of  the  exercises  refreshments  were  served  in 
the  smaller  hall,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Committee  on  Papers  and 
Essays.  Mrs.  Charles  Knowles  Bolton,  Chairman,  Mrs.  Charles 
F.  White,  and  Mrs.  Homer  Albers  of  Brookline,  Mrs.  Dwight 
Mortimer  Prouty  and  Mrs.  James  Knox  Taylor  of  Boston,  Mrs. 
Winifred  Kincaide  of  Somerville,  and  Mrs.  Lawrence  Brainerd  of 
Forest  Hills  presided  at  the  tables,  and  were  assisted  by  Mrs.  F.  D. 
Ellison  of  Belmont,  Miss  Florence  N.  Bates  of  Cohasset,  Mrs. 
William  Prescott  Greenlaw  of  Winthrop,  Mrs.  Ida  Farr  MiUer  of

of  Brookline,  Mrs.  Mary  Lovering  Holman  and  Mrs.  J.  Dudley

Miss  Mary  Ella  Stickney  of  Waltham,  Miss  Elizabeth  Merrill  of 
Dorchester,  and  Mrs.  Florence  Conant  Howes  and  Miss  Mabel  W. 
Chapin  of  Somerville. 

The  ushers  for  the  exercises  were  Lawrence  Brainerd  of  Forest 
Hills,  Dwight  Mortimer  Prouty  and  William  Sumner  Appleton 
of  Boston,  Morgan  Hewitt  Stafford  of  Newtonville,  and  Walter 
Eliot  Thwing  of  Roxbury. 

The  whole  building  was  open  during  the  day  for  the  inspection 
of  members  of  the  Society  and  their  friends.

tember 1816,  the  son  of  James  Martin,  an  Edinburgh  solicitor,  and 
died  at  his  country  seat,  '*  Bryntysilio,"  at  Llangollen,  Denbighshire, 
Wales,  18  August  1909. 

He  was  educated  at  the  High  School  and  University  of  Edin- 
burgh, became  a  solicitor  at  Edinburgh  in  1840,  and  practised  there 
untU  1846,  when  he  removed  to  London.  There  he  continued  the 
practice  of  his  profession,  was  senior  partner  in  the  firm  of  Martin 
&  Leslie,  27  Abingdon  Street,  Westminster,  acted  as  a  parliament- 
ary agent  in  the  passing  of  private  bills,  and  was  a  hard-working 
lawyer  almost  to  the  end  of  his  life. 

Literary  work  early  claimed  a  large  share  of  his  time  and  atten- 
tion.    In  the  years  immediately  following  his  removal  to  London 
he  and  his  friend.  Professor  W.  E.  Aytoun,  published  in  Tenths 
Magazine  and  in  Fraaer  the  ballads  and  parodies  afterwards  col- 
lected under  the  Rabelaisian  name  of  ^*  Bon  Gaultier,"  in  a  book 
that  passed  through  sixteen  editions  prior  to  1903.     In  1858  the 
two  friends  published  a  translation  of  Goethe's  Poems  and  Ballads ; 
and  nine  years  later,  after  Professor  Aytoun's  death,  Martin  wrote 
an  interesting  memoir  giving  the  story  of  their  literary  collaboration. 
For  his  wife,  who  was  the  eminent  actress,  Miss  Helen  Faucit,  he 
prepared  a  translation  of  Hertz's  play,  **  King  Rent's  Daughter.^ 
His  translation  of  the  Odes  of  Horace  appeared  in  1860,  and  in 
1870  he  published  a  small  biographical  and  critical  volume  on  the 
same  poet  in  the  series  of  books  called  **  Ancient  Classics  for  Eng- 
lish Readers."    In  1882  these  two  books  were  combined  in  a  two- 
volume  edition,  which  contained  also  a  translation  in  verse  of  the 
Satires  and  Epistles.     Among  his  other  publications  were  transla- 

(liv) 


MEMOIBS  Iv 

tions  of  Catullus,  of  Faust  (which  went  through  a  dozen  editions), 
of  some  of  Heine's  poems  and  of  other  German  poems,  and  of 
Dante's  *^  Vita  Nuova,"  and  also  a  biography  of  Lord  Ljndhurst. 
The  translations  of  Horace  and  Catullus  read  more  like  original 
poems  than  translations. 

As  a  result  of  the  recommendation  of  Sir  Arthur  Helps,  Martin 
was  asked  by  Quien  Victoria  to  write  the  "  Life  of  the  Prince  Con- 
sort," although  he  had  not  known  personally  the  subject  of  the 
biography.  The  task  occupied  him  for  many  years,  the  Queen 
placing  at  his  disposal  every  available  source  of  information.  This 
monumental  work,  which  was  completed  in  five  volumes,  ^  did  as 
much  to  strengthen  the  Monarchy  as  it  did  to  raise  the  reputation 
of  the  Prince."  % 

At  the  end  of  1901  Martin  printed  for  private  circulation  a  little 
volume  entitled  ^'Queen  Victoria  as  I  knew  Her,"  which  was  issued 
to  the  public  seven  years  later  and  contained  some  interesting  letters 
firom  the  Queen  to  die  author. 

Martin  was  popular  in  society,  and  a  great  friend  of  Thackeray 
and  of  other  literary  and  political  leaders  of  the  Victorian  era.  In 
1880,  on  the  appearance  of  the  last  volume  of  the  "Life  of  the 
Prince  Consort,"  he  was  made  a  Knight  Commander  of  the  Order 
of  the  Bath,  in  1881  he  was  elected  Rector  of  the  University  of 
St.  Andrews,  and  in  1896,  on  the  eightieth  anniversary  of  his  birth, 
the  Queen  sent  to  him  the  insignia  of  a  Knight  Commander  of  her 
newly-founded  Royal  Victorian  Order. 

He  married,  in  the  old  church  at  Brighton,  in  1851,  Helen, 
daughter  of  John  Savile  Faucit.  She  was  then  thirty-four  years 
of  age,  and  had  already  had  a  brilliant  career  of  sixteen  years  on 
the  stage.  Although  she  continued  to  appear  on  the  stage  after  her 
marriage,  she  proved  herself  to  be  her  husband's  best  friend  and 
counsellor,  and  aided  him  in  his  literary  work.  In  1861  the  Mar- 
tins visited  the  vale  of  Llangollen  in  Wales,  were  attracted  by  the 
house  called  ^  Bryntysilio,"  and  four  years  later  bought  it.  Here 
they  spent  a  part  of  every  year,  here  most  of  the  "  Life  of  the 
Prince  Consort"  was  written,  and  here  the  Queen  visited  them  in 
1889.  Here,  too.  Sir  Theodore  celebrated  in  1906  the  ninetieth 
anniversary  of  his  birth.  Lady  Martin,  however,  had  died  in  1898> 
and  a  memoir  of  her  from  the  pen  of  her  husband  was  published  a 
few  years  after  her  death. 

Sir  Theodore's  London  house  was  on  the  east  side  of  Onslow 
Square.  He  remained  ^  strong  in  body  and  alert  in  mind "  imtil 
shortly  before  his  death,  was  seen  often  at  the  Athenieum  Club  and 
at  dinners,  and  showed  great  interest  in  politics,  art,  literature,  the 
drama,  and  in  the  collecting  of  pictures,  engraved  portraits,  and 
autographs.

the  Marshfield  Agricultural  Society,  chairman  of  many  important 
town  committees,  and  a  member  of  the  Somerset,  Algonquin, 
Country,  and  Eastern  Yacht  Clubs.  His  occupation  was  that  of  a 
gentleman  farmer. 

John  Farkeb  Townb,  A.B.,  of  Edgerton,  Wis.,  elected  a 
resident  member  in  1866,  and  a  life  member  of  the  Society  since 
1868,  died  29  December  1912.  He  was  bom  at  Milford,  N.  H., 
12  June  1826,  the  son  of  Jonathan  and  Clarissa  (Hoyt)  Towne,  his 
ancestors  having  lived  in  and  around  Milford.  The  family  traced 
its  Ime  to  William  Towne,  one  of  the  early  settlers  in  Massachusetts. 

His  early  education  was  received  in  the  public  and  private  achook 
of  Milford  and  at  the  Pembroke  (N.  H.)  Academy.  In  the  autumn 
of  1848  he  entered  the  scientific  department  of  Norwich  University, 
Norwich,  Vt. ;  but,  finding  that  his  health  would  make  it  inadvisable 
for  him  to  follow  the  profession  of  a  civil  engineer,  he  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  classical  course  at  the  end  of  his  Freshman  year  and  was 
graduated  with  the  degree  of  A.B.  in  1852.  In  the  spring  of  1853 
he  removed  to  Johnson  Co.,  Ind.,  and  taught  school  at  Franklin

and  Edinburg  in  that  county  for  three  years,  pursuing  also  in  the 
meantime  the  study  of  law.  He  was  admitted  to  the  oar  in  1855, 
and  in  April  1856  removed  to  Wisconsin,  where,  after  a  brief  stay 
at  Milwwkee,  he  practised  his  profession  at  Palmyra  and  in  1858 
settled  at  £dgerton,  his  home  for  the  remainder  of  his  life.  When 
the  Civil  War  broke  out,  he  was  eager  to  enlist  in  the  cause  of  the 
Union,  but  defects  in  eyesight  and  hearing  disqualified  him  for 
military  service.  For  some  twenty-five  years  he  served  as  justice 
of  the  peace,  for  fifteen  years  as  town  clerk,  and  for  twenty  years 
as  a  member  of  the  school  board.  He  was  an  organizer  of  the 
bank  at  Edgerton,  and  director  and  president  for  a  number  of  years. 
He  was  for  many  years  a  trustee  of  the  Methodist  Church,  and  later 
a  generous  supporter  of  the  Congregational  Church.  He  was  a 
Republican  in  politics,  but  did  not  aspire  to  hold  office,  seeking 
only  to  discharge  faithftilly  the  duties  continuously  thrust  upon  him. 
His  high  conception  of  a  lawyer's  duty  was  to  keep  people  out  of 
difficulty  rather  than  to  encourage  litigation.  His  sole  ambition  was 
to  lead  a  quiet,  useftd  life,  and  this  was  ftdly  realized  in  the  long 
years  he  lived  in  one  community. 

He  married,  19  December  1860,  Rozilla  Ford  of  Dane  Co.,  Wis., 
who  died  19  December  1895.     A  son,  Louis  Harvey,  two  daughters, 
Angie  Fedelia  and  Metta  (both  married),  and  five  grandchildren 
survived  him.

member  since  1904,  was  bom  in  New  York  City  22  February  1838, 
and  died  there  28  June  1913.  He  waa  the  eldest  son  of  James 
Boulter  and  Caroline  (Phelps)  Stokes,  his  mother  being  a  daughter 
of  Anson  Greene  Phelps,  the  founder  of  Ansonia,  Conn.  On  his 
mother's  side  he  was  descended  from  many  of  the  Puritan  worthies 
of  early  New  England;  and  his  paternal  grandfather,  Thomas 
Stokes,  who  came  from  London  to  New  York  in  1798«  was  a  de- 
scendant of  John  Stokes  of  Greensted,  co«  Essex,  England.  This 
Thomas  Stokes  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  London  Missionary 
Society,  had  been  associated  with  Robert  Raikes  in  the  founding  of 
Sunday  schools  in  London,  and  joined  with  Rowland  Hill  and  others 
in  fitting  out  the  Duff^  the  first  missionary  ship  for  the  South  Sea 
Islands.  In  New  York  he  was  active  in  the  formation  of  Sunday 
schools,  and  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  New  York  Bible 
Society  and  of  the  New  York  Peace  Society.  He  was  one  of  the 
best  Imown  merchants  of  his  day.  The  birthplace  and  boyhood 
home  of  Anson  Phelps  Stokes  was  the  stately  colonial  mansion  of 
his  grandfather  Phelps,  which  was  situated  in  the  midst  of  spacious 
grounds  extending  from  the  present  29th  Street  in  New  York  Gty 
to  33d  Street,  and  from  the  present  Third  Avenue  to  the  East 
River. 

Mr.  Stokes  received  his  early  education  from  tutors  and  at  private 
schools  in  New  York  Ci^,  and  in  1860  he  studied  navigation  on 
board  the  famous  clipper  ship  Dreadnaught^  Capt.  Samuels,  ac- 
quiring from  his  experience  on  shipboard  a  taste  for  the  sea  which 
led  him  in  later  life  to  become  an  enthusiastic  yachtsman.  He  en- 
tered upon  a  business  career  in  New  York,  being  a  member  of  the 
mercantile  firm  of  Phelps,  Dodge  &  Company,  founded  by  his  ma- 
ternal grandfather,  and  afterwards  a  member,  together  with  his 
father,  James  B.  Stokes,  and  his  father-in-law,  Isaac  Newton  Phelps, 
of  the  banking  firm  of  Phelps,  Stokes  &  Company.  For  thirty 
jrears  he  was  a  trustee  of  the  United  States  Trust  Company,  and  he 
was  a  director  of  the  Mercantile  and  the  Second  National  Banks

and  a  member  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  He  was  interested 
also  in  several  real  estate  companies  and  in  various  other  buainess 
enterprises.  He  withdrew  from  active  work  as  a  banker  more  than 
twenty  years  ago. 

His  knowledge  of  navigation  and  of  naval  affairs  and  his  com- 
mand of  mathematics  enabled  him  to  invent  what  he  called  a  **  globn- 
loid  naval  battery/'  a  mammoth  battleship  and  floating  fortress, 
intended  principally  for  harbor  defense.  In  1903  patents  for  this 
invention  were  granted  to  him,  both  in  ^e  United  States  and  abroad, 
and  later  other  patents  for  improvements  in  this  battery  were  ob- 
tained by  him  from  ^e  United  States  Patent  OflBce.  Because  <^ 
this  invention  he  was  elected  to  membership  in  the  Society  of  Naval 
Architects  and  Marine  Engineers  in  New  York  and  in  the  Institu- 
tion of  Naval  Architects  in  England.  He  was  the  owner  of  several 
yachts,  was  twice  vice-commodore  of  the  New  York  Yacht  Club, 
and  in  a  book  which  he  wrote  in  1902,  entitled  "Cruising  in  the 
West  Indies,"  he  told  the  story  of  some  of  his  voyages. 

A  Democrat  in  politics,  Mr.  Stokes  was  active  in  many  non-parti- 
san movements  for  the  betterment  of  national,  state,  and  municipal 
life.  He  was  founder  and  first  president  of  the  Reform  Club,  vice- 
president  and  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Civil 
Service  Reform  Association,  and  his  interest  in  the  cause  of  free 
trade  gained  for  him  honorary  membership  in  the  Cobden  Club  of 
London.  He  wrote  many  letters  and  pamphlets  on  subjects  per- 
taining to  money  and  coinage,  his  work  on  "  Joint-Metallism  "  going 
through  five  editions.  He  declined,  however,  numerous  requests 
that  he  should  be  a  candidate  for  political  office. 

Among  the  many  organizations  to  which  he  belonged,  in  addition 
to  those  already  mentioned,  were  the  Society  of  Colonial  Wars,  of

National  Geographic  Society,  the  American  Social  Science  Associa- 
tion, and  the  Century  Club,  the  Union  League  Club,  and  other 
New  York  clubs.  He  was  much  interested  in  New  England  history 
and  literature  and  in  genealogical  research,  visited  England  many 
times  in  order  to  collect  records,  and  in  1910  published  the  first 
volume,  in  two  parts,  of  "  Stokes  Records."  He  was  a  member  of 
the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  was  often  a  delegate  to  diocesan 
and  general  conventions,  and  was  active  in  ecclesiastical  affairs. 

He  married  in  New  York,  17  October  1865,  Helen  Louisa  Phelps, 
daughter  of  Isaac  Newton  and  Sarah  Maria  (Lusk)  Phelps  of  New 
York.  Their  nine  children,  all  of  whom  survive  their  father,  arc :

Ixxly  N.  E.  HI8TORI0  GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY 

Charles  Larned  of  Boston,  a  life  member  since  1882,  was 
bom  at  Oxford,  Mass.,  4  May  1825,  the  son  of  Jonas  and  Clarissa 
(Robinson)  Lamed,  and  died  at  Boston  24  October  1913.  He 
traced  his  ancestry,  through  Jonas,^  Asa,*  Isaac,*  Isaac,*  Isaac,' 
and  Isaac,*  to  William*  L^med  of  Bermondsey,  co.  Surrey,  Eng- 
land. His  mother  traced  her  ancestry  to  £ev.  John  Robinson  of 
the  Pilgrim  congregation  at  Leyden. 

He  was  brought  up  on  his  father's  farm  at  Oxford  and  was  edu- 
cated in  the  district  schools,  with  one  or  two  terms  in  a  select  high 
school,  so-called ;  and  at  ^e  age  of  nineteen  he  left  home  with 
twenty-five  dollars  in  his  pocket,  to  seek  his  fortune  in  Boston. 
He  found  employment  at  small  wages  in  a  carpet  store.  In  1847 
he  took  sole  charge  of  a  branch  clothing  store,  and  in  1850  started 
a  business  for  himself  which  by  gradual  changes  was  increased  to  a 
general  jobbing  and  commission  business.  He  retired  in  1870  with 
a  handsome  competence.  By  judicious  investment  and  prudent 
management  he  steadily  increased  his  fortune,  and  by  his  subsequent 
career  he  disseminated  in  a  generous  manner  the  benefits  of  hia 
industry  and  success. 

His  numerous  acts  of  unostentatious  benevolence  to  private  indi- 
viduab  were  supplemented  by  gifts  to  public  institutions.  Thus  he 
bequeathed  $1000  to  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  So- 
ciety, as  a  permanent  fund,  the  income  of  which  is  to  be  used  for 
the  purchase  of  books  for  the  Library,  and  from  1884  to  1893  be 
provided  for  the  people  of  his  native  town  five  courses  of  free  pop- 
ular entertainments,  which  were  liberally  patronized  and  highly  ap- 
preciated. Besides,  in  1903-04,  he  erected  in  memory  of  his  mother 
and  gave  to  the  town  of  Oxford  an  elegant  and  substantial  building 
for  the  Free  Public  Library,  at  a  cost  of  about  $30,000.  He  was 
also  instrumental  in  the  organization  of  the  Oxford  Home  for  Aged 
People,  incorporated  in  1908,  and  was  president  of  this  institudon 
and  a  most  liberal  contributor  to  its  funds. 

He  had  interested  himself  in  genealogical  researches  sufficiently, 
at  least,  to  establish  his  descent  from  the  Rev.  John  Robinson  of 
Leyden  ;  and  to  gratify  a  natural  desire  for  information  he  became 
an  extensive  traveller  both  in  his  own  country  and  in  Europe.  His 
winters  were  spent  chiefly  in  the  South,  and  his  summers  were 
passed  among  the  New  England  mountains.  He  was  interested  in 
many  weU-known  organizations,  such  as  our  own  Society,  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  and  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Union,  in  each  of  which  he  was  a  life  member. 

He  was  unmarried.

2  NoTcmber  1913.  He  was  the  son  of  William  and  Helen  (Harvie) 
Macleod,  and  traced  his  descent  from  the  Macleods  of  Sl^e.  He 
received  the  degree  of  B.S.  from  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural 
College  and  from  Boston  University  in  1876,  the  degree  of  A.B. 
from  Amherst  College  in  1877,  and  that  of  LL.B.  from  the  Boston 
University  Law  School  in  1879.  He  continued  his  legal  studies  in 
Providence,  and  was  admitted  to  the  Bhode  Island  bar  in  the  last- 
named  year  and  to  the  Massachusetts  bar  in  1880.  He  practised 
his  profession  in  Boston  from  1880  on,  and  was  a  member  of  the 
firm  of  Macleod,  Calver,  Copeland  &  Dike,  well-known  patent  attor- 
neys. He  had  an  international  reputation  as  a  patent  lawyer,  and 
was  also  connected  with  various  other  business  interests.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  Bostonian  Society  and  of  various  dubs. 

He  married,  at  Lonsdale,  R.  I.,  15  June  1882,  Lola  McConnell, 
daughter  of  the  late  Washington  J.  McConnell  of  Greensboro,  N.  C, 
who  survived  him,  with  four  children :  Eldon,  Cameron,  Helen,  and 
Evelyn.

David  Russell  Jaok  of  St.  John,  N.  B.,  elected  a  correspond- 
ing member  3  December  1913,  the  Society  being  then  unaware  of 
his  death,  was  bom  at  St.  John  5  May  1864,  the  son  of  Henry  and 
Annie  C.  (Johnston)  Jack,  and  died  at  Clifton  Springs,  N.  Y.,  2 
December  1913.  His  father  was  of  Scotch  ancestry,  and  his  mo- 
ther belonged  to  the  New  England  Loyalist  stock. 

He  was  educated  at  the  grammar  school  at  St.  John,  and  built 
up  an  extensive  business  in  fire  and  marine  insurance  and  in  real 
estate.  Much  of  his  life,  however,  was  devoted  to  literary  and  his- 
torical work.  At  an  early  age  he  manifested  an  interest  in  histor- 
ical subjects,  and  when  only  nineteen  years  old  he  won  the  prize  of 
$200  offered  by  the  directors  of  the  Mechanics  Listitute  in  St.  John 
for  the  best  essay  on  the  City  and  County  of  St.  John.  This  essay 
was  subsequently  printed  in  book  form,  and  is  a  valuable  work  of 
reference.  In  1901  he  began  the  publication  of  a  quarterly  maga- 
zine, AcadiensiSf  which  he  conducted  for  eight  years  at  a  consid- 
erable financial  loss  to  himself.  The  magazine  was  well  printed 
and  profusely  illustrated,  and  in  its  pages  much  important  informa- 
tion relating  to  the  early  history  of  the  maritime  provinces  of  the 
Dominion  of  Canada  is  preserved.  Copies  of  it  will  be  of  increas- 
ing interest  and  value  in  the  years  to  come.  In  the  splendidly  ar- 
ranged commemoration  of  the  tercentenary  of  the  discovery  of  the 
site  of  St.  John  by  De  Monts  and  Champlain,  held  on  24  June 
1904  and  on  the  following  days,  Mr.  Jack  was  one  of  the  leading 
workers.  He  was  also  instrumental  to  a  great  extent  in  the  sub- 
sequent erection  of  the  fine  statue  of  Champlain  in  Queen's  Square, 
St.  John.  He  was  deeply  versed  in  Loyalist  lore,  and  was  engaged 
in  the  preparation  of  a  work  on  the  lives  of  the  Loyalists  who  set-

tied  in  New  Brunswick  and  their  descendants.  He  was  the  author 
of  a  history  of  St.  Andrew's  Churchy  in  St.  John,  was  engaged  in 
the  compilation  of  a  newspaper  history  of  the  maritime  provinoea, 
and  devoted  much  time  to  genealogical  studies.  He  collected  a  li- 
brary of  rare  volumes,  which  will  eventually  become  the  property 
of  the  St.  John  Public  Library,  of  which  he  was  one  of  the  com- 
missioners and  the  secretary.  He  wrote  for  a  number  of  literary 
and  historical  magazines,  and  made  notable  contributions  to  a  know- 
ledge of  the  facts  of  local  history. 

He  was  an  active  member  of  several  societies,  including  the  or> 
ganization  of  the  Freemasons,  the  St.  Andrew's  Society,  the  Loyal- 
ist Society,  of  which  he  was  the  historian,  and  the  Historical  Society 
of  New  Brunswick,  of  which  he  was  corresponding  secretary.  He 
was  a  corresponding  member  of  the  Literary  and  Historical  Society 
of  Quebec  and  of  the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical 
Society ;  and  in  recognition  of  hb  services  to  the  cause  of  historical 
research  he  was  chosen  during  the  last  year  of  his  life  to  member- 
ship in  the  Colonial  Institute  of  London. 

Active  in  behalf  of  whatever  might  benefit  his  native  city,  he  was 
for  several  years  alderman  for  Queen's  Ward  in  St.  John,  and  to 
him  the  citizens  were  indebted  for  the  substitution  of  electric  light- 
ing for,  gas  in  the  streets.  For  seven  years  he  was  a  member  of  the 
Board  of  School  Trustees.  Li  1884  he  became  vice-^sonsul  for 
Spain  at  St.  John,  succeeding  in  that  office  lus  father,  who  had  held 
the  position  for  twenty  years. 

Fond  of  travel,  Mr.  Jack  had  visited  almost  every  comer  of  Eu- 
rope, and  had  also  taken  at  least  one  trip  around  die  world.  He 
did  not  keep  to  the  beaten  routes  of  tourists,  but  wandered  into 
Russia,  Austria,  Turkey,  and  other  lands.  While  on  his  travels 
he  gave  to  his  friends  the  benefit- of  his  experiences  through  interest- 
ing letters  to  the  press,  and  on  his  return  he  was  always  ready  to 
lecture  on  the  places  which  he  had  visited,  and  to  illustrate  his  lec- 
tures by  photographs,  most  of  which  he  had  taken  with  his  own 
camera. 

Mr.  Jack  was  a  Presbyterian,  and  an  active  member  of  St.  An- 
drew's Church  at  St.  John.  He  was  unmarried ;  but  two  sirt^rs 
survive  him.  Miss  Louise  M.  Jack  of  St.  John  and  Miss  Marion 
Elizabeth  Jack,  an  artist  of  international  fame,  who  spent  many 
years  in  Paris  and  now  resides  in  London.

Geobge  Lamb  of  Cambridge,  Mass.,  a  life  member  since  1896, 
was  bom  in  the  State  of  New  York  23  August  1834,  the  son  of 
George  Clinton  and  Eliza  (Rockwell)  Lamb,  and  died  at  Cam- 
bridge 9  December  1913. 

He  had  been  an  ensign  in  the  United  States  Nay/i  and  was

eminent  ae  an  antiquary  and  cartographer,  being  eepeciallj  qualified 
by  his  early  sea  training  for  this  class  of  work.  For  more  than 
forty  years  he  had  been  a  devoted  student  of  the  olden  days  of  Boston. 
He  prepared  a  map  of  Boston,  which  embodied  his  interpretation  of 
the  ^  Book  of  Possessions,^  from  original  material,  long  before  the 
work  of  the  Record  Commission  was  established.  This  map  was 
purchased  by  the  Boston  Public  Library,  and  a  limited  number  of 
copies  were  distributed.  He  also  prepared  a  similar  map  of  Cam- 
Inidge.  He  was  also  an  enthusiastic  worker  on  the  history  of  the 
Old  Town  House  in  Boston,  and  it  is  owing  in  large  part  to  his  in- 
fluence that  the  printing  of  the  first  fourteen  volumes  of  the  Suffolk 
Deeds  was  accomplished.  It  was  due  to  the  interest  which  he  thus 
aroused  that  much  of  the  musty  lore  of  the  past  has  been  preserved 
fbrposterity. 

He  was  a  genial  gentleman  of  remarkable  character  and  of  much 
energy,  and  his  untiring  zeal  was  accompanied  with  great  generosity 
in  the  loan  of  his  matmal  to  friends  and  inquirers.  His  venerable 
and  striking  figure  will  be  missed  from  its  accustomed  place  at  the 
registry  of  deeds,  where  he  had  become  almost  an  appurtenance. 
A  wife  and  daughter  survived  him.

She  was  graduated  at  the  Buffalo  High  School  in  1874.  In  her 
girlhood  days  she  showed  great  aptitude  in  designing  houses  and 
various  other  structures,  and  soon  decided  to  take  up  architecture  as 
a  profession.  She  enjoyed  the  distinction  of  being  an  architect  of 
national  reputation  and  the  first  woman  to  enter  that  profession. 
She  designed  the  Elmwood  music  hall,  the  Wilson  building,  the 
Deaton,  Cottier  &  Daniels  music  store,  the  Lafayette  Hotd,  the 
Bickford  &  Francis  building,  and  other  noteworthy  structures.  Up 
to  about  two  years  before  her  death  she  was  an  active  member  of 
the  firm  of  Bethune,  Bethune  &  Fuchs,  architects,  with  offices  in 
Franklin  Street. 

She  was  largely  instrumental  in  forming  the  Western  New  York 
Association  of  Architects,  of  which  she  was  one  of  the  first  officers, 
and  was  the  only  woman  fellow  of  the  American  Listitute  of  Archi- 
tects. She  was  a  former  president  of  the  Buffalo  Genealogical 
Society,  at  one  time  treasurer  of  the  Society  of  New  En^and 
Women,  and  a  member  of  the  Daughters  of  the  Bevolution.  She 
left  an  unfinished  Blanchard  genealogy,  a  typewritten  copy  of 
which  will  be  deposited  in  the  archives  of  the  New  England  EQstoric 
G(enealogical  Society. 

She  was  married,  10  December  1881,  to  Bobert  A.  Bethune  of

FQlTEBIES  appear  in  the  adrertislngr  paires  of  the  REGI8TSB;  and  all  snch 
matter  U  printed,  without  restriction  as  to  subject  or  space,  at  the  rate  of 
ten  cents  for  ten  words,  or  fraction  thereof,  pajable  in  adfance. 

BissELL. — Wanted,  the  maiden  name  of  Mabel,  wife  of  Capt.  Ozias 
Bissell  (see  Records  of  the  Church  in  Bolton,  Conn.,  Register,  vol,  52, 
pp.411  etseq.).  From  the  use  of  Russell  as  a  baptismal  name  in  the  family 
it  has  been  conjectured  that  she  may  have  l>een  a  descendant  of  James  and 
Mabel  Russell  of  Charlestown.

Capt.  Jonas  Clay,  who  died  in  1704,  and  Capt.  Steven  Clay,  who  was  in 
the  West  India  trade,  were  doubtless  of  the  second  generation  of  this  fam- 
ily. Jonas  Clay,  son  of  Capt.  Jonas,  and  his  brother  Steven  moved  to 
New  Hampshire  about  1730,  settling  first  at  Exeter  and  soon  afterwards 
at  Chester.  The  sons  of  this  last-mentioned  Jonas  ^were  Jonas,  John, 
Daniel,  Steven,  and  James,  all  bom  in  Massachusetts.

Raskins. — Who  were  the  parents  of  William  Raskins  of  Scitnate, 
Mass.,  calker,  who  bought  land  in  Scituate  in  1758  and  whose  will  was 
proved  1  June  1807?  His  wife  Hannah  was  probably  Hannah*  Bryant 
(David,*  David,*  John,*  John*). 

S5  Ames  Building,  Boston,  Mass.  Frederick  C.  Raskins. 

BARTLETT. — Ten  Dollars  will  be  paid  to  the  first  person  furnishing 
positive  proof  of  the  parentage  of  Ichabod  Bartlett,  bom  6  May  1773,  or  Ruth,  his 
wife,  bom  25  Aug.  1775.  They  were  bom  in  or  near  Salisbury,  Mass.,  or  Salis- 
bury, Conn. 

MARTIN  &  ALLARDYCE, 
Asbury  Park,  N.  J. 

WHITE.  —  One  Hundred  Dollars  will  be  paid  to  the  first  per- 
son furnishing  the  record  of  birth  and  positive  proof  of  the  parentage  of  Isaac

.COMMITTEE  ON  ENGLISH  RESEARCH 


The  Committee  on  English  Research  appeals  to  all  who  are 
interested  in  the  English  ancestry  of  the  early  settlers  of  New  Eng- 
land for  contributions  for  the  continuance  of  its  work  in  England. 

By  generous  private  donations  during  the  past  five  years  the 
Committee  has  been  enabled  to  employ  Miss  Elizabeth  French  for  a 
part  of  her  time  to  carry  on  this  work,  and  the  valuable  results  of 
her  investigations  have  appeared  quarterly  in  the  Register.  The 
importance  of  continuing  these  researches,  begun  many  years  ago 
by  the  late  Henry  F.  Waters,  Esq.,  will  be  evident  to  aJl;  but  unless 
further  contributions  are  received  without  delay,  it  will  be  necessary 
to  suspend  the  work.  Subscriptions  may  be  sent  to  Charles  S.  Pen- 
hallow,  Chairman^  803  Sears  Building,  Boston,  Mass, 

The  Chairman  of  the  Committee  wijl  supply  contributors  to  the 
English  Research  fund  with  blank  forms  for  recording  facts  about 
immigrants  in  whose  English  ancestry  they  are  interested.  This 
information  will  be  filed,  and  a  copy  will  be  forwarded  to  Miss 
French ;  but  the  Committee  cannot  guarantee  that  it  will  be  practi- 
cable to  follow  up  any  particular  clue.

THE  NEW  ENGLAND  HISTORIC  GENTE- 
ALOGICAL  SOCIETY  is  now  located  in  its  new  build- 
ing at  No.  9  Ashburton  Place,  Boston,  with  adequate 
space  for  future  growth,  with  safe  quarters  for  its  mag*- 
nificent  genealogical  library,  and  with  facilities  for  the 
economical  administration  of  its  various  departments. 

It  needs  substantial  increases  of  endowment  and 
income,  in  order  to  prosecute  its  work  with  vigor  and 
to  accomplish  the  objects  for  which  it  was  founded. 

Its  past  achievements,  in  gathering  a  library  which 
is  unrivalled  in  its  field,  in  publishing  data  relating  to 
American  families  unsurpassed  either  in  amount  or 
quality  by  any  kindred  institution,  in  making  extensive 
researches  in  England,  the  results  of  which  have  been 
of  national  importance,  in  conducting  monthly  public 
meetings  which  are  largely  attended,  and  in  promoting 
interest  in  genealogical  studies  in  America  throughout 
the  entire  period  of  its  existence,  entitle  the  Society  to 
consideration  by  all  interested  in  American  genealogy, 
and  ought  to  enlist  the  support  of  those  who  desire  the 
preservation  of  the  records  of  American  families. 

Its  officers  will  gladly  confer  with  anyone  desiring 
to  create  memorial  funds  by  gift  or  bequest,  the  income 
of  which  shall  be  used  to  promote  the  objects  of  the 
Society. 

Its  membership  is  open  to  all  persons  of  good  char- 
acter who  are  interested  in  the  work  of  the  Society* 
Its  quarterly  periodical.  The  New  England  His- 
torical AND  Genealogical  Register,  is  the  leading 
publication  of  its  kind,  and  is  sent  free  to  resident  and 
life  members. 

The  fee  for  resident  membership  is  $5.00  per  caleo* 
dar  year,  and  the  fee  for  life  membership  is  $50.00.

economical  administration  of  its  various  departments. 

It  needs  substantial  increases  of  endowment  and 
income,  in  order  to  prosecute  its  work  with  vigor  and 
to  accomplish  the  objects  for  which  it  was  founded. 

Its  past  achievements,  in  gathering  a  library  which 
is  unrivalled  in  its  field,  in  publishing  data  relating  to 
American  families  unsurpassed  either  in  amount  or 
quality  by  any  kindred  institution,  in  making  extensive 
researches  in  England,  the  results  of  which  have  been 
of  national  importance,  in  conducting  monthly  public 
meetings  which  are  largely  attended,  and  in  promoting 
interest  in  genealogical  studies  in  America  throughout 
the  entire  period  of  its  existence,  entitle  the  Society  to 
consideration  by  all  interested  in  American  genealogy, 
and  ought  to  enlist  the  support  of  those  who  desire  the 
preservation  of  the  records  of  American  families. 

Its  officers  will  gladly  confer  with  anyone  desiring 
to  create  fuemo  rial  funds  by  gift  or  bequest,  the  incmne 
of  which  shall  be  used  to  promote  the  objects  of  the 
Society.

ENGLISH  EESEAECH  — STANDISH 


The  Committee  on  English  Research  calls  special  attention 
to  the  important  article  in  the  present  number  of  the  Register 
on  the  ancestry  of  Capt.  Myles  Standish.  This  article,  which 
was  secured  for  the  Register  at  a  considerable  expense,  indicates 
certain  lines  along  which  further  researches  for  the  parentage  of 
Capt.  Standish  may  be  made  with  a  fair  prospect  of  success.  The 
author  of  the  article  has  offered  to  carry  on  investigations  in  this 
promising  field,  without  compensation  for  his  time,  if  his  expenses 
incurred  in  this  additional  work  are  guaranteed.  The  Committee 
solicits  special  contributions  for  the  Standish  research. 

Additional  fimds  are  also  needed  immediately  for  the  con- 
tinuance of  the  general  English  Research  work,  which  has  been 
carried  on  so  successfully  by  Miss  Elizabeth  French  for  the  past 
six  years.  The  importance  of  these  reseaches,  begun  for  the 
Society  many  years  ago  by  the  late  Henry  FitzGilbert  Waters, 
Esq.,  will  be  evident  to  all;  but  unless  further  subscriptions  are 
received  without  delay,  suspension  of  the  work  will  be  inevitable. 

Members  of  the  Society,  whether  subscribers  to  the  fund  for 
English  Research  or  not,  may  obtain,  by  applying  at  the  offices 
of  the  Society,  9  Ashburton  Place,  Boston,  blank  forms  for  record- 
ing facts  about  the  early  settlers  of  New  England  in  whose  English 
ancestry  they  are  interested.  This  information  will  be  filed,  and 
a  copy  will  be  sent  to  Miss  French;  but  the  Committee  cannot 
guarantee  that  it  will  be  practicable  to  follow  up  any  particular 
clue. 

Subscriptions,  both  for  the  special  Standish  fund  and  for  the 

general  English  Research  fund,  may  be  sent  to

furnishing  authentic  infonnation  as  to  the  parents  of  either  John  Larcher,  bom  28  Aug. 
1726,  or  Lucy  Crowell,  bom  15  F^.  1729.  They  were  probably  from  Martha's  Vine- 
yard.   Their  marriage  is  recorded  at  Tisbury,  31  Mar.  1748.

SUGGESTIONS  ON  HAVING  THEM  REPRODUCED 
privately  in  the  Copley  Prints  for  gifts  to  your  relatives 
as  well  as  for  preservation  in  case  of  loss  or  damage  to 
the    originals,    or    fading    in    the    case   of  old    photographs. 

EVERYONE  has  a  daguerreotype,  old  photograph,  painting,  or  other  portrait, 
of  ancestors  or  relatives  (or  a  valued  old  letter,  log-book,  etc.),  of  which  other 
members  of  the  family  V70uld  like  to  have  copies,  of  artistic  quality,  cither  of 
small  size  for  portfolio  or  album,  or  in  larger  sizes  suitable  for  firaming  and 
hanging  on  one's  wall.  They  make  especially  tmique  and  choice  gifts  to 
relatives,  for  birthdays,  weddings.  Thanksgiving,  Christmas,  and  other  occasions 
of  family  reunion  or  celebration. 

REQUESTS  for  such  copies  are  so  numerous,  and  the  results  have  given  so 
much  satisfaction  to  the  families  from  whom  commissions  have  come,  that 
Messrs.  Curtis  &  Cameron,  of  Boston,  sole  publishers  of  the  genuine 
Copley  Prints,  are  inviting  general  attention  to  their  facilities  for  thb  interestuig 
work.

which  the  Copley  Prints  have  won  throughout  the  world.  Discolored  and  faded 
daguerreotypes  can  almost  always  be  restored,  and  most  defects  in  originals,  caused 
time  or  accident,  removed  by  skillful  handwork  in  the  reproduction.
