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.

JANUARY, 1898.
ALBERT BOYD OTIS.
Bj the Hon. Josbph Williamson, Litt.D., of Belfast, Maine.
The subject of this biographical sketch was born on the twenty-
fourth day of June, 1839, in Belfast, Maine, where he died on the
seventeenth day of January, 1897.
His father, Samuel Otis, born in Wiscasset, Maine, May 25,
1805, was for over half a century a merchant in Belfast, until his
death, October 19, 1884. His mother, whose maiden name was
Eliza M. Nickerson, bom in Belfast, July 28, 1812, was married
December 27, 1832, and died March 16, 1889.
His paternal grandfather, David Otis, was bom in Bristol,
Maine, October 22, 1766. Thirty years later he removed to Wis-
casset, where he married Jane, daughter of Col. Samuel Boyd, of
that town. David Otis was a master mariner of ability and enter-
prise. He died in 1849, having survived his wife eleven years.
Samuel Otis, father of David, first resided in Dartmouth, Mass.
He emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1761, and lived in the township
now called Yarmouth. His name appears in the membership of a
committee appointed to divide the forfeited lands of that township,
imder the act of August, 1761. Returning to New England about
1765, he settled on Katherine Island, now Sutherford Island, in
Bristol, Maine, which he afterwards purchased. In 1775, he be-
came chairman of the Committee of Safety, and in that capacity

addressed a letter to the Provincial Congress, which is preserved
among its records. His death occurred in 1805. There is little
doubt but that the family descends in a direct line from John Otis
— Ottis — or Outtis — who came to Hingham, in 1632, from Glas-
tonbury, near Wells, in Somersetshire, England.
On his mother's side, Mr. Otis had a like honorable line of ances-
try. Her father, Salathiel Nickerson, born in Chatham, Mass., No-
vember 1, 1789, died in Belfast, Feb. 13, 1868. He was a soldier in
the war of 1812, and a successful merchant. His wife, Martha Rogers
McClure, was a daughter of James McClure, a revolutionary officer,
whose father came from the north of Ireland in 1727, and with two
others made the first settlement of Hillsboro', N. H.
The father of Salathiel Nickerson also lived in Chatham. He
was a revolutionary soldier, a representative to the General Court
of Massachusetts, and a member of the Constitutional Convention in
1820. He lived to the age of eighty-seven. His grandfather,
William Nickerson, was an early immigrant to Massachusetts. The
Admiralty records of London show the examination of William
Nickerson, of Norwich, in Norfolk county, weaver, aged 33, and
Annie, aged 28, with four children, all intending, April 8, 1637,
to go to Boston, New England, " to inhabit." It is said that he
first went to Watertown. He subsequently settled in Chatham, hav-
ing bought land there of the Indians. His wife, whose name was
Anne Busby, was descended from Elder William Brewster and also
from Stephen Hopkins, both signers of the Mayflower compact in
1620. The ancestry of Mr. Otis therefore embraces two of the
Pilgrim Fathers. He always took more pride, however, in his con-
nection with the sturdy Scotch-Irish families of Boyd and Nesmith,
than in his Plymouth progenitors.
The early education of Mr. Otis was obtained in the public
schools of Belfast and at Westbrook Seminary, near Portland. In
1859, he entered the freshman class of Tufts College, and four
years later took the degree of Bachelor of Arts at that institution.
His natural ability, fondness for study and close application won
for him the highest honors. He received the Goddard prize for
English composition, and at the termination of his college course
was chosen a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, which, as is
well known, admits only the first scholars in its several branches as
members. After graduating he read law for a year with the Hon.

Nehemiah Abbott of Belfast, then engaged in an extensive practice,
and having passed another year at the Law School at Harvard Col-
lege, was admitted to the Waldo County Bar at the October term
of the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine in 1865.
To most young men two years of such preparation would have
seemed sufficient qualification for immediate entrance into active
professional life. Such was not the view taken by Mr. Otis. It
was characteristic of him that he desired to obtain a still higher
standard of legal equipment, and accordingly he devoted an addi-
tional year to study at the Dane Law School, receiving in 1866 the
degree of Bachelor of Laws, and in the same year the degree of
Master of Arts fi*om his Alma Mater.
Lnmediately commencing practice in Boston, he was for several
years connected in legal business with the late Ex-Governor John
Albion Andrew (Bowdoin College, 1837), and after the death of
the latter with the governor's son, the Hon. John Forrester An-
drew (Harvard University, 1872), recently deceased.
Mr. Otis did not aspire to distinction in the forensic department
of his vocation. He preferred " the cool sequestered vale of life "
to the strifes of the court room. His natural function was that of
adviser and counsellor rather than that of barrister or advocate. In
positions of confidence and trust his services were constantly em-
ployed. Public honors did not possess for him an attraction.
" Quiet studies " and the companionship of chosen friends gave him
an enjoyment rdrely to be found amid the excitement of political
life.
As a man, friend and neighbor, Mr. Otis was greatly esteemed.
His sincerity and candor commanded the respect of all who came
within his influence. In conversation there were few subjects which
he did not illustrate by fascinating and brilliant remarks. He was
ever ready with a pertinent anecdote, and a certain felicity of ex-
pression which never failed to enlist attention made his presence
welcome and entertaining wherever he went. But his bright shafts
were free from acerbity, and left no wound. To malevolence or
envy he was a stranger. If he could not speak well of one he spoke
not at all. He had gathered a large library of the books which
he loved, and of which he was a constant reader, and his literary
criticisms were just and sagacious. The memory of his endearing
qualities will always be cherished by those who knew him. An old

neighbor said, upon learning of his death, ^ he was a man made to
be loved."
Mr. Otis was tall and erect of figure, of handsome features, of
courteous and dignified bearing, and of a countenance which waa
full of light, especially when it reflected the sallies of quiet humor
which he was ever ready to give and to receive.
During the last ten years of his life he passed a part of every
season at Isle au Haut, near the coast of Maine, where, with other
members of the ** Point Lookout Club," he had landed interests.
He was never married. An only sister survives him. Soon after
his mother's death, he purchased the Nickerson homestead, so called,
a beautiful spot at ** The Narrows," just above the business cen-
tre of Belfast, and commanding a view of the wide expanse of
Penobscot Bay, and the blue summits" of Mount Desert. Here,
during many summers, he engaged in horticulture. The adorn-
ment of his grounds, as well as of the rooms of the old-fashioned
house in which he lived, showed in every detail his refined and cul-
tivated taste.
The death of Mr. Otis, which resulted from heart disease, was
sudden. Although his friends had been long aware that he waa in
declining health, his cheerful spirits suggested no immediate appre-
hension of danger. He waa to be seen about the streets as usual
only the day before he died.
In religious faith Mr. Otis was a Unitarian, and was much at-
tached to the service of King's Chapel in Boston, which for many
years was his place of worship. While in Belfast, he constantly
attended services at the church of the First Parish.
He became a resident member of the New-England Historic
Genealogical Society in 1869, and for several years acted as one of
the Committee on Papers and Essays. Since 1885, he has been on
the roll of corresponding members of the Maine Historical Society.
In the objects of these organizations he ever manifested a deep in-
terest, and constantly contributed to them not only with his pen, but
by donations of books and ancient documents. Of the Belfast
Free Library he was a liberal patron, and his valued counsel con-
cerning its management is held in grateful recollection.

BRIEF MEMOIRS AND NOTICES OF PRINCE'S
SUBSCRIBERS.
[Continued from vol. XLii., page 93.]
Alexander Middleton.
Compiled by Miss Emma F. Ware, of Milton, Mass.
In a list of the subscribers to " Prince's Chronology" (Register, vol. vi.,
page 196), appears this item: "Middleton, Mr. Alexander, Merchant (for
two.)."
Alexander Middleton, Jr., belonged to a family prominent for many gen-
erations in Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire. His grandfather's grand-
&ther, Robert Middleton, of Cauldhame (** Caddam"), was killed while sit-
ting in his armchair in his own house by Montrose's soldiers. The son of
Robert of Cauldhame, Rev. Alexander Middleton, D.D., graduated at King's
College, Aberdeen, in 1630, and wsis made sub-principal of the college in
1641. He married in 1643 "contrary to the foundation of the college, for
he was the first regent that entered into a marriage condition in this col-
lege." ("Sketches of Early Scotch History," Cosmo Innes, p. 304.)
Removed by Cromwell, he was at the Restoration made Principal, and
held the place until his resignation owing to old age and infirmities in 1684;
he died two years later. " In his time the college flourished, as he caused
good order to be kept therein." (Biscoe, Earls of Middleton, p. 123.)
Principal Alexander's brother was the famous Maj.-Gen. John Middleton
(created Earl of Middleton by Charles II.) who was so prominent on both
sides in the troubles of the time, and is so often mentioned in the annals
and histories of the period (Pepys's Diary, Burnet's History of His Own
Time, etc.) His son Charles, second Earl, was one of James II.'s chief
counsellors during his exile at St. Germain. ( Biscoe, Earls of Middleton.)
Principal Alexander was succeeded by his son George Middleton, D.D.,
Dean of the Diocese of Aberdeen, who held the office of Principal until
1717, and died in 1726. Principal George's son, Alexander Middleton,
Sr., was "Comptroller of Customs" at Aberdeen, and in 1705 married
Elspeth Burnet, of what family is not known. It was on the farm of
A. Middleton, Sr., that the celebrated astronomer, James Ferguson,
served as shepherd boy, and while watching his master's sheep studied the
stars and made diagrams of the constellations, as described in his auto-
biography. When he was somewhat older, Ferguson drew many portraits
of his neighbors (see Memoir), and in the possession of the descendants of
Alexander Middleton in this country are still preserved portraits of A. Mid-
dleton, Sr., his wife, his two daughters, and his son A. Middleton, Jr.,
drawn by the astronomer. These portraits were probably made about 1733,
and therefore just before A. Middleton, Jr., left Scotland, for his marriage
to Ann Todd took place in Boston in November, 1735. He died in August,
1750» and his widow two years afterwards married David Fick, foreman in
Mr. James Smith's sugar refinery in Brattle street. It is supposed to have
been on account of this marriage that the surviving daughters were adopted
by Mr. Smith and his wife (who was their mother's sister), and were brought
up at Mr. Smith's place on Brush Hill, Milton. Of the fire Middleton sis-
ters, two (Helen and Diana) died unmarried ; Prudence married Dr. Joseph
Whipple, surgeon in Paul Revere's regiment, and left no descendants;
Ann married Rufus Bent, of Milton, and was the mother, among other chil-
dren, of Miss Ann Bent, well known to the last generation of Boston ladies

(Teele*8 History of Milton, p. 536), and of Mrs. Charles Barnard, the mother
of Rev. C. F. Barnard * late of the Warren Street Chapel, James M.
Barnard and George M. Barnard.
The eldest daughter, Mary, married James Lovell, son and assistant of
Master John Lovell of the Boston Latin School. Though the Master was
a Tory, his son was a "rebel," and daring the siege of Boston kept his
absent friends informed of the doings of the enemy within the town. A
letter found in the pocket of Gen. Warren after the battle of Bunker Hill
led to James LovelFs arrest and imprisonment in Boston jail for nine months
until the Evacuation (diary of John Leach, Reg., vol. 19, p. 255), when he
was taken to Halifax (it is said in irons), in the same vessel which carried
his father as a refugee. While in Halifax, James Lovell shared the prison
of Ethan Allen. He was exchanged in November, 1776, for Gen. Skene,
and on his return to his native town was sent to Congress by his grateful
fellow-citizens. He was Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Affairs
during the war, and on the return of peace filled the office of Collector of
the Port until 1789, and of Naval OflScer until his death in 1814. He had
several sons who left descendants (one of* whom, Joseph, was Surgeon
General of the United States), and one daughter, Mary, who married
Mark Pickard, an Englishman. Their only child, Mary Lovell Pickard,
married Rev. Henry Ware, Jr., and died in 1849.
Master Lovell died in Halifax, but his youngest son Benjamin, H. C.
1774, settled in England, and became rector of Ash in Surrey. One
of Master LovelFs daughters married in Boston a Hessian Baron. Another
(or perhaps the same daughter), by her beauty so turned the head of the
young ordnance officer. Col. Cleveland, that he neglected his duty of sup-
plying suitable ammunition for the British guns, thereby perhaps rendering
the victory at Bunker Hill less complete than it might otherwise have been.

HENRY ANDREWS OF TAUNTON AND THE CALVES
PASTURE.
A critical contribution by Almon D. Hodges, Jb.
This article was written at the suggestion of Hon. Josiah H.
Drummond, who published in the Register of October, 1897
(vol. li., pp. 453-459), a paper on Henry Andrews, to which this
may be considered supplementary. Many of the facts here stated
were furnished by Mr. Drummond. The deeds which help to de-
termine the location of the Calves Pasture, and which disclose the
hitherto unknown history of Abigail, daughter of Henry Andrews,
with other data, were contributed by Mr. Isaac W. Wilcox of
Taunton.
Authorities are cited for each and all of the genealogical state-
ments here made. With a few exceptions, these authorities are
referred to by their numbers in brackets [1], [2], [3], etc., and

The Calves Pasture,
Henry^ Andrews built the first meeting house in Taunton, receiving
from the town in payment a parcel of land, conveyed by deed, dated 11
day 2 mo. 1647, recorded in PlymotUh Gohny Deeds, ii : 1 : 57, in the Reg-
istry of Deeds at Plymouth, and thus described :
" A certaine pcell or necke of Land apptaining unto the Inhabitants of
Taunton aforsaid called by the said Inhabitants theire calves pasture ... ly-
ing and being bounded by the great River from the land of Richard Wil-
liams Inhabitant of Taunton heading It the said necke at the upper corner
iherof ; and the land of Gorge hall, Inhabitant of Taunton heading It at

In the will of Henry* Andrews [^Plym. Col. WiUs^ i: 1 : 116] and in his
inventory [id. i: 1: 117] there is only one lot of land mentioned which
could have been the Calves Pasture or Neck of Land. This (described in
the inventory as " a certaine quantity of land called Squobinansett contain-
ing 200 acres," and in the will as " a certaine peece of land called the necke
of land") was bequeathed "equally unto my daughter Sarah and to my
daughter Abigaill." Sarah* Andrews married Jared Talbut in 1664, and
Abigail* Andrews married Dea. John Wadsworth in 1667.
Apparently Philip King became the owner of at least one half of the
Calves Pasture; for on July 20, 1683, Jared Talbut of Taunton and Sarah
his wife sold to Philip King of Weymouth: — (a) a "Necke of land" ia
Taunton, 60 acres, bounded North by John Hall, Walter Deane and Na-
thaniel Williams, and ** East, West and South by Taunton Great River,
with a little Island belonging to said Necke ; ye said Necke was formerly
known by ye name of ye Calves Necke and this Necke is ... . forever to he
and remainefree and clear from being rated by ye town of Taunton ;" (i) a
house with 40 acres of land bounded South by John Hall, West on the
Great River till it comes to Pall Brooke, and then on said brook till it
comes to Squobbity path, and then by said path till it comes to a plaia
[Neck Plain] and then bounded easterly by said plain. Also 8 acres of
land bounded South by Pall Brooke, West by Taunton Great River, and
60 adjoining the aforesaid 40 acres. [Bristol Co. Mass. Deeds^ i : 17].
What Abigail Andrews did with all of her share of the Calves Pasture
has not been fully ascertained. But John Wadsworth of Duxbury and
Abigail his wife, on July 21, 1684, sold Jared Talbut of Taunton all right,
title and interest in a " Neck of land " in Taunton, bounded South and
South East by Taunton Great River, West by John Hall, North and East
by Walter Dean and Richard Williams; "said halfe Neck of land contain-
ing by estimation twenty acres." [Bristol Go. Mass. Deeds, iv : 52.]
Highways laid out in 1698 : — a highway leading from pall brook through
the land of Philip King, and so, as the way now leads, to the corner of
Philip King's land, and from thence, on the eastward side of Philip King's
land, unto the corner of widow Hall's land [Hannah, widow of John Hall],
and from thence, as the way now leads, unto the lands of Squabinanset.

In 1728 Morgan Cobb made a map of Taunton, which is now in the
Massachusetts State Archives, and which shows (among other things) Taun-
ton River, the Neck Plain, the highways then in existence, and '*the situa-
tion of every pertickler house with the owners sir name." By the aid of
the documents above cited, and with the help of this map, it is possible to
locate the Calves Pasture with reasonable certainty. Its position, in all

as designated on the accompanying sketch, which is compiled from the latest
(Walker's) atlas of Massachusetts and from Morgan Cobb's map. The
natural features are copied from the modern atlas, which shows Pale Brook
and the '^ little island " mentioned in the Talbut deed. The houses with
their owners and the Neck Plain are from the ancient map. The roads are
those shown by Morgan Cobb, but their locations are modified to conform
to the more accurate surveys of to-day. The eastern boundary line of the

tory of Taunton. Finally the location has been verified, so far as this was
possible, by a walk through the territory and conversation with present
residents.

[8] The births of the children of Henry* and Mary Andrews are calculated as
follows :—
(a) Henry* Andrews was on a coroner's jury at Plymouth Court June 10,
1651 IPrinted Plym. Col. Bee. ii : 175] and, therefore, was then of age, and
so born before June 10, 1630. His mother was born in 1610 or January 1611 {her
will]. With great probability his birth may be placed about 1629, when his
mother was 19 years old, he being probably her first-born.
(b) Mary* Andrews had son John Hodges born in 1650 {Hodges Family, 71].
If, as assumed, she was born about 1631, at the then common interval of about
two years after her brother, she had her first child at the quite usual age of
about 19 years.
(c) Abigail* Andrews was born in 1646 or 1647, as shown by her age at death
[5, 6.]
(d) Sarah* Andrews, called (like Abigail) "little daughter" in her mother's
will, was named before her sister in the wills of both her father and her mother,
and was married three years before her sister. Hence it is assumed that she
was two or three years older than Abigail, and thus bom probably about 1643 to
1646.
(e) There is an interval of about a dozen years between the births of the 2d
and the 3d child as thus calculated. If any children were born in this time they
doubtless died young, not being mentioned in the wills. Henry may have come
across the ocean in this period. Perhaps one wife died and he remarried.

[6] (a) 1684 July 21. John Wadsworth of Duxbury, with free consent of Abi-
gail his wife, for 46 pounds, sells to Jared Talbut of Taunton a certain Necke of
land in Taunton, bounded on Taunton Great River on the South & South East, and
Westerly on the land of John Hall, and North & North East on the lands of
Walter Dean & on the lands of Richard Williams. The said halfe Necke of
land containing by estimation about twenty acres. {Bristol Co. Mass. Deeds,
lv:52].

sides other children] Dea. John* Wadsworth, who m. 1667 July 26, Abigail

night betwixt ye 24th and 26 days of November, A.D. 1723, being about 76 years
of age." {Win8or*s Hist, of Duxbury, 328; Wadsworth Family, 83, 34, 202.]

(h) win of Rev, Nicholas* Street, dated April 14, 1674, mentions " my
grandchild Hanna Andrews." \_Hi8t, of Taunton^ 182; Street Genealogy , 476.]
The supposition, on p. 5 of the Street Genealogy, that this grandchild -was
Anna, daughter of Rev. Samuel* Street, is obviously inadmissible, since this
Anna, born Aug. 17, 1665 \_8treet Gen., 8] could nDt have been married in 1674.
(c) Will of Mary Andrews, mother of Henry* Andrews, dated Feb. 14-24,
1653-4, mentions Anne, daughter of son Henry [2]. As Henry was born pro-
bably in 1629 [8], it is not probable that he married before 1652 (at the age of
23), and this daughter Anne (or Anna or Hannah) was doubtless his first child
and bom in 1653 or early in 1654.
[8] (a) That Henry* Andrews had a wife Mary, who survived him, is proved
by various deeds, of which one is cited under [6].
(h) Will of Christopher* Wadsworth (whose son John* married Abigail*
Andrews), dated July 81, 1677, names wife Grace and daughter Mary Andrews.
Will of Grace Wadsworth, widow of Christopher*, dated Jan. 13, 1687, names
daughter Mary Andrews, widow \_Wad9worth Family y 34].
[9] The Division of Lands at Taunton on Dec. 28, 1659 [^Taunton Proprietors'
BecordSy il: 11], gives three heads in the family of Henry* Andrews, — ^presu-
mably himself, his wife and one child. This child must have been Hannah*
Andrews, bom about 1653 and living in 1674 [7, &, c.]. The wife is supposed to
have been Henry's second wife and his second marriage is thought to have occurred
in 1659, because probably the births of the five younger children [10] began in
or about 1660, and continued at the then common interval of about two years ;
and the names of two of these children, Mary and Grace, are very suggestive
of Mary Wadsworth and her mother, Grace Cole.
[10] The births of the five younger children of Henry* Andrews are calcu-
lated as follows :—
(aj They were all bom after Dec. 28, 1659. [9]
(b) Grace was born in 1665 or 1666. [18]
(cj Grace and Mary were both married on June 26, 1685. [18 and 16.] If,
as seems probable, Mary was named after her mothert and Grace after her
ffrandmother, it is a natural conclusion that Mary was the elder, and her birth
may be placed with considerable probability in or about 1663.
(dj Henry was married less than eight months after his two sisters and so,
presumably (in absence of conflicting evidence*), was older than they. Henry's
* Mr. Dminmond considers that the following deed is conflicting evidence : —
Mary Andrews of Taunton, widow of Henr^* Andrews, sells to Shadracn Wilbore land
in I'aanton, promising to give also copies of all deeds or other writings relating to said
land, etc. And further, the said Mary Andrews and Henry Andrews, ner son, promise,
upon lawful demand, to do or cause to be done all such farther acts, whether by way of
acknowledging this deed, or of any other kind, that may be necessary for the more full
confirming and sure-making the afore-bargained premises unto the said Shadrach Wil-
bore. In witness whereof the said Mary Andrews and Henry Andrews, her son, have
hereunto put their hands and seals this 15th day of April lb84. Signed : Mary An-
drews ana a seal, Henry Andrews and a seal. Acknowledged by Mary Andrews and
Benry Andrews, May 31, 1686. Recorded Dec. 11, 1717. [Bristol Co. Mass. Deeds, zi :
300.V'
"when Henry* Andrews died," writes Mr. Drummond, "the title to this [his?]
property vested in his wife and children. In those times the widow not anfrequently
conveyed real estate so left, while her children were minors ; but if any of her sous were
of age, it was necessary for them to join in the deed <is grantors. In this deed Henry
did not ioin as grantor ^ as he should have done if he was twenty-one, but his mother
makes the grant and he simply joins with her in a promise to do any act necessary to
confirm the title. If he was then a minor, his acknowledgment of the deed two years
later was such a coT^^rmation of his mother* s act as would bind him also. I therefore
believe that Henry was a minor when that deed was given, and [judging from the date
of acknowledgment] was not born before 1664."
It is with great dilfidence that I venture to diflfer from so able a lawyer as Mr. Drum-
mond, yet I think he has drawn a too subtle deduction from this deed of early times,
and 1 demur at the wording of his statement that " this property was vested in his
wife and children," since a part of the estate of Henry' Andrews was " settled upon
his widow " and the balance, on March 8, 1678-9, was ordered to be divided among his
six children [Printed Plymouth Col. Deeds, vi : 5] . There is no direct statement in the
deed that Henry was a minor, and he put his hand and seal to the document in the
usual manner of adults. The promise to acknowledge the deed and the delay in ack-
nowledgment have no significance, in my opinion, such promises and delays being
common in those days. Mair Andrews and her husbandj^executed at least two deeds
which were not acknowledged until after a long time ; in fact, every deed of Mary An-
drews which I have seen was acknowledged long after its date. In brief, as I read the
deed, Mary aells the land and Henry confirms the sale.

WAS ANNA WEST A DAUGHTER OF ROBERT SAUN-
DERSON?
By John E. ALDEXjEsq., of Newton, Mass.
Robert Saunderson, df Boston, goldsmith, partner of John Hull, the
"Mint Master," died 7 October, 1693. Judge Savage's Genealogical Dic-
tionarj says: "By his will his widow was made Executrix, and in her
will is evident proof that children and grandchildren named in the will of
her husband were not his, but hers. No blood relation of his except brother
Edward and sou Robert can with confidence be found in his own will."
Id reading Robert Saunderson's will by itself, one would have no doubt
but that he was speaking of his own daughter without any ambiguity ;
whereas the will of his widow is not clear in this respect, and her allusions
to "my Daughter West" would as well apply to a step-daughter. The
firat child named by her is "my daughter Ann Beckford," and if this was
her daughter, Anna West could not have been so with a name so nearly
like the other.
The references to Anna West in the two wills are as follows ;
Will of Robert Saunderson,
Dated 18 July, 1693 ; presented 20 Oct. 1693.
*' I, Robert Saunderson of Boston, Gk>ldsmith, confirm to my wife Elizabeth
the covenant made before our marriage, and give her one-half of all my House-
hold goods. The other half, after my wife's decease, I give to my son Robert
Saunderson and to my Daughter Anna West to be equally divided between them.
To son Robert the house he lives in, &c. After decease of my wife I give to
my daughter Anna West the westerly end of tenement near the Mill bridge, and
the Slaughter house and yard, and a Leanto and yard, and a tenement and yard.
My dw'elling house to son Robert, but If he die without lawful issue, then to
daughter Anna.
A tenement on the road to Roxbury to be sold to pay legacies ; £10. to grand-
son Robert Darby; £5. to great grand daughter Abl'ah Beard; £5. to Joseph,
son of W"». Saunderson; £6. to grandson Joseph Jones; £5. to children of
James Peunlman. All the remainder of produce of said tenement to my grand-
children, the children of my daughter Anna West .... ray wearing apparel to
son Robert, my son-in-law Richard West, and Brother Edward."
Will of ElizaheOi Sanderson.
Dated 15 Sept. 1694; presented 21 Nov. 1695.
•• I . . . late wife of Robert Sanderson, deceased. 1st. to my daughter Ann
Beckford my two thumb rings, if she dies, then to my Daughter West and Mary
Casewell; I give to my Daughter Anna West a silver Tankard, my great Bible
and one guiny ; to niece Alice Carlile and her daughter Elizabeth, each 20 shil-
lings; to cousin Francis Carlile, Jr. my seald Ring; to Mary Casewell £5. and
a silver cup ; to children of Thomas Lincoln, each a silver spoon ; to Ann West
Digitized by VjOOQIC
24 Anna West and Robert Saunderson. [Jan.
a silver bason and a silver spoon ; to Mercy West a silver porringer and a silver
spoon ; to Joseph West my grandson my silver Tankard ; and to little Bichard
West a silver Bowl ; to Benjamin West a silver bason and a silver spoon ; to
my daughter West and her children my half e part in my Husband's Household
goods, except bedding and wearing apparel to Mary Casewell ; to Mary daugh-
ter of W™. Sanderson 20 shillings ; to her sister Lydia 40 shillings ; to the old
Church a Silver Beaker and £5.; to the pooro £10.; residue if any to Mary
Casewell my great Grand daughter."
The daughter Anna was married to Richard West of Boston, butcher,
and the names of their children are suggestive ; they had Joseph, Benja-
min, John and Mary, not very distinctive, but they are also names of Rob-
ert Saunderson's children. They also named a child Sanderson West,
born February 5, 1680; this is important in several ways, and shows that
wishing to name a boy for her father without using her brother's name, she
gave him the family name.
The date of marriage of Robert Saunderson with third wife Elizabeth is
not recorded, but is important in this discussion.
I found in Granary Cemetery a gravestone (not named in '* Bridgman's
Epitaphs ") with this inscription : •* Here lyes y® body of Mart iate wife
of Robert Sanderson, Sen'., age 74 years, died June 21, 1681, and her
grandson in grave with her.*'
This grandson was probably Sanderson West who was the baby at that
time. The date fixes time of marriage with third wife Elizabeth at 1681
or later ; Sanderson West was born in 1680, and if Anna were Elizabeth's
daughter as Judge Savage avers, she would not probably have named a
child for Robert Saunderson before her mother's marriage with him.
There are other gravestones of this family in the same cemetery, and as
they are not in " Bridgman's Epitaphs," they are copied here :
" Here lyes y« body of Elizabeth wife of Robert Sanderson, aged about
78 years, died Oct. 16, 1695."
»* y« body of Richard West, Sen', aged 67 years died Oct. 21, 1701."
" Mary, daughter of Mr. John & Mrs. Mart West, age 4 months, died
Sept. 2, 1730."
'* Children of Mr. Sanderson & Mrs. Mart West,
1742 John 2 years. 1750 Mary 4 montbs
1749 Sanderson 9 weeks 1761 John 7 months."
The death of Richard West is recorded in Town records as October 20,
1701, instead of October 21, as on the gravestone. His estate was settled
by the widow Anna<, probated 23 March, 1701-2. Inventory £65. 8. 2.
Their son John^ Fe«< was born March 26, 1697; died 1742; married
]^ary , born 1697, died August, 1771; and had eight children:
John, Sanderson, Anna,* born November 25, 1726; Mary, Mary, Kesiah,
Eunice, David. Anna^ TFea<, born November 25, 1726, married October
27, 1747, Ephrcdm Green.
Two deeds are recorded in Suffolk County Registry in which Richard
and Anna^ West's children call Robert Sanderson their grandfather, viz.

THE CLOGSTON FAMILY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
By Watson H. Harwood, M.D., of Chasm Falls, N. Y.
The Clogston family is of Irish origin, and was one of the Presbyterian
families which immigrated from the north of Ireland to New Hampshire,
sometime after the year 1718. Our records of the family are somewhat
meagre. We have not as yet been able to learn the names of the parents
of the family that settled in New Hampshire; we have a record of three of
their children only, as follows :
1. Mrs. Harwood. Her Christian name we have not yet been able
to learn. She was the wife of James Harwood of Dunstable (now
Nashua), N. H., who was desceoded from English ancestors. She
is described as having been a very large, strong woman, and she
lived to the advanced age of ninety-nine years. Her husband served
five years in the old French and Indian war. He also served in
the Revolution, in Capt. William Walker's company, Col. James
Reed's regiment. Capt. Walker's company is said to have com-
prised one half the able bodied. men of Dunstable. They were
among the first men sent out from New Hampshire to engage in
the struggle for American independence. They were present and
fought bravely at Bunker Hill. Later on in the course of the war,
James Harwood served in Col. Bedell's regiment, which was formed
in 1776, to defend the frontier, and* was stationed for a time at Isle
Aux Noix, in Canada. In 1777, April 17, James Harwood entered
the First New Hampshire regiment, then under the command of
Col. Joseph Cilley. This regiment was during the months of May
and June, 1777, in the vicinity of Ticonderoga, N. Y., and after-
wards was engaged in the battles at Fort Schuyler, Stillwater, and
finally, October 7, 1777, in the battle of Saratoga, which resulted in
the surrender of Burgoyne with his entire army ten days later.
After this most important event, the American troops hastened
southward to help the sorely pressed patriots who were under the
immediate command of Geu. Washington. They reached White
Marsh, thirteen miles from Philadelphia, November 21, 1777, and
here James Harwood died, tradition says, of small pox, December 1,
1777.
Mr. and Mrs. James Harwood were the parents of three sons and
two daughters, all born in Dunstable, N. H. :
i. JoHK* Harwood, b. in 1766. He served in the Revolutionary war,
was wounded, and afterwai*ds settled on a farm near Manchester,
N. H. His wife was Sally Martin of Hooksett, N. H. They were
the parents of six children. He d. about 1833.
ii. James Harwood, b. in 1760. He m. Patty Sanders, and settled in
Unity, N. H. They were the parents of six children. Hon. C. B.
Harwood, one of the most enterprising of the business men of Lynn,
Mass., and recently mayor of that city, is a great grandson of James
Harwood of Unity.
iii. Archibald Harwood, b. in 1762. He served in the American army
in the war of the Revolution, as a substitute for another man,
being only sixteen years of age on entering the service. He was
one of those whom the traitor Arnold contracted to sell to the
British in 1780. After the war he went to Springfield, Vt., where

2. Paul Clogston resided in Dunstable, N. H. Fox, in his History
of Dunstable, speaks of Paul Clogston owning a slave wooaan, who
was married to a free black, and the latter purchased the freedom
of his wife and children. Mr. Clogston enlisted May 1, 1775, in
Capt. William Walker's company. Col. Reed's regiment, to serve id
the Revolution. Was mustered into the service May 26th. He
was wounded in the battle of Bunker Hill, and died of his wounds
July 15, 1775, It is probable that he had a family, but we have
no record of his descendants.
8. John Clogston, born in 1741. He, and a man by the name of
Antipas Dodge, went from Londonderry, N. H., to GofEstown,
N. H., in the fall of 1764, made a clearing in the woods, and built
log houses, and in the spring came back to Londonderry and mar-
ried wives. John Clogston's wife was a widow, a Mrs. Anna Glas-
ford ; who was born in Glasgow, Scotland, August 30, 1737, and died
in Marietta, Ohio, in 1822. It is said that after her marriage to
Mr. Clogston, they went to their new home in Goffstown on horse-
back, both riding one horse. William Clogston of Springfield,
Mass., a great grandson of John, to whom I am largely indebted for
the facts concerning the Clogstons in this article^ visited the site of
the early home of the Clogstons in Goffstown, about 1876, and drank
water from the old well used by them generations ago. Hq also
visited the grave of John Clogston in the Goffstown cemetery, and
copied the dates of his birth and death. William has i^till the pocket
book which belonged to his great grandfather. John Clogston served
in the Revolutionary war, in Capt. William Walker's company.
He died February 3, 1803. The children of John and Anna Clogs-
ton were six in number, all born in Goffstown :
i. John* Clogston, b. April 23, 1766. He m. Betsey Gardner of Bed-
ford, N. H. In the fall of 1818, they emigrated to Marietta, O-
They went with a team, and were six weeks on the road. His
mother, then aged 81 years, went with them. John Clogston d.
Feb. 18, 1824, and his wife March 28, 1851. They left several
children,
ii. Thomas Clogston, b. in 1769. Hem. Phebe Eastman of Strafford,
Vt. They had twelve children. He d. in Strafford, July 9, 1847, and
his wife Aug. 27, 1861.
iil. William Clogston, b. Dec. 12, 1771 \ m. Susan Annice of Goffstown .
They had thirteen children. He d. in Hancock, Vt., Sept. 27, 1836,
and his wife in Brandon, Vt., in 1848. He was the grandfather of
William Clogston of Springfield, Mass.
iv. Matthew L. Clogston, b, Feb. 12, 1773. He m. Betsey Sargent of
Dunbarton, N. H. They resided on the old Clogston homestea<i
In Goflbtown, where nine children were bom to them. He d. Feb.

In Fox's History of Dunstable, the name Clogston is everywhere spelled
Clogstone, and very probably that was the original and correct method of
spelling the name.
I have already acknowledged my indebtedness for many of the facts given
in this sketch to William Clogston of Springfield, Mass. I also obtained
some important facts, as long ago as 1880, from Daniel Campbell, Esq., of
New Boston, N. H., a highly respected citizen of that town, who was then
in his 82d year. In one of bis letters, written at that time, Mr. Campbell
says : ** The Clogstons were men of firm and upright character, always re-
ported to be of Scotch-Irish stock." Mr. W. H. H. Hart, of Goffstown, a
grandson of Matthew L. Clogston, also gave me valuable information years
ago concerning the family.
As far as I can learn, this is the first time a sketch of the Clogston
family has been offered to any publication.
The writer would be greatly pleased to hear from any person who has
a fuller account of the family than he has been able here to give.
GENEALOGICAL NOTES FROM MARTHA'S VINEYARD.
By Ghablbs £. Banks, M.D., of Washington, D. C.
During some recent searches among the early records of Martha's
Vineyard, I made brief notes of entries in the Probate and Deeds
registries, relating to persons who had residences elsewhere, or w^ho
had emigrated therefrom, or had taken up a residence on the island
after leaving a previous abode. These changes of locality made by
the early settlers in their quest for homes constitute one of the
greatest difEculties in the path of the genealogist, and whenever the
opportunity occurs to make them known it seems to me helpful to
others to publish such facts.
Finch. — Jeremiah Finch, mariner, of North Carolina, will dated August
5, 1724; probated Feb. 26, 1724-5. Wife Deborah receives all estate,
real and personal, except silver hiked sword, gun and pistol, which he gives
to Capt. John Payling, and all his woolen clothes to Mackrough Serobrey.

27, 1671, in which deponents state that they have known Isabel Bland
since childhood and that John Bland formerly lived at Colchester, Eng-
land, and '' he was sometimes called John Smith but his name and bis
ancestors was Bland." Samuel Smith aged 29 and Benjamin Gould aged
42 years both of the Vineyard testify to same effect. (Dukes Co. Deeds,

THE REV. MORGAN JONES AND THE WELSH INDIANS
OF VIRGINIA.
By Isaac J. Gebenwood, A.M., of New York City.
Several of the earlier Welsh poets make mention of one Madog, son
of Owain Gwynedd, prince of North Wales, who, sailing westward from
his native country, about the year 1162, discovered a new land, whither,
some ten years later, he led a colony of his own people. This event ap-
pears to have been forgotten, when in 1492 Columbus was proposing to
cross the same waste of waters, and not till 1584 was the account of Mado^
made known to the English public by the Rev. Dr. David Powell in his
History of Wales. Almost a century later the story was revived iu a lim-
ited circle, by the statement of Morgan Jones, a clerical gentleman then in
the American colonies, who testified at New York, March 10, 1685-6, to
his having, some seventeen years earlier, lived for a few months among a
tribe of Welsh Indians on the Virginia coast; and we continue to hear of

White Indians, at distant intervals of time and in various localities, until,
in the early part of the present century, Catlin encounters them on the
Missouri River, near the present town of Bismark (Dakotah). The Amer-
ican traveller UQted some words, in use among them, akin in sound and
meaning to the Welsh, and was especially struck by the fairness of their
skin, and by their very peculiar religious rites. They were then a tribe of
limited numbers, called the Mandans, whom disease, a few years later,
swept from the earth.
Mr. Jones's statement commences as follows: "These Presents may
certify all Persons whatsoever that in the year 1 669,* I being then an in-
habitant of Virginia, and Chaplain of M. G. Benuet of Mansemonf county,
Sir W™. Berkeley sent two ships to search what was then called the Port
Royal, but now S. Carolina, which is 60 leagues to the southward of Cape
Fear; and I was sent with them to be their minister. Upon the 8'^ day
of April we set out from Virginia." The writer continues his account,
mentioning his arrival and departure from the new colony, whence, at the
end of eight months, half-starved, owing to scarcity of provisions, he un-
dertook to reach on foot, through the wildeitf)css, the Virginia settlements,
bat only to fall into the hands of hostile natives westward of the great
swamps. His few companions were evidently tortured and killed, while he,
liberated by some Indians of the Doeg tribe, was taken to their retreat near
Cape Hatteras. His freedom he attributes to his speaking Welsh, which
was also the language of the Doegs, and in that tongue he continued to
preach the Gospel to them for some months, before proceeding northward.
At this point a review of such facts as bear upon Jones's opening re-
marks is interesting.
In pursuance of an Act of Parliament, passed Oct. 3, 1650, the Council
of State, by commission dated Sept. 20, 1651, sent out to Virginia the ship
John, Capt. Robert Dennis, and the Guinea frigate, Capt. Edward Curtis,
the former, with Mr. Rich*' Bennet, Mr. Thomas Stagge and Capt. W°\
Claybourne being appointed commissioners to raise forces, in said Colony,
for the reduction of the plantations " to their due Obedience to the Parlia-
ment of the Commonwealth of England." Capt. Curtis, " in the case of
mortality or absence of Capt. Dennis," was to take the latter's place as
commander o*f the fleet, and to act also as a commissioner.
Sir George Ayscue, despatched about the same time on a similar errand
to the West Indies, secured the rendition of the Barbadoes, Jan. 17, 1651-2,
and then proceeded to St. Kits, which place also submitting, though its
Governor, Capt. Pointz, made his escape to Virginia, Ayscus sailed for
£ngland, arriving at Plymouth May 25.
In the Virginia colony affairs were peaceably concluded; on March 12
1651-2, articles were signed by the Commissioners, Richard Bennett, Wm
Claiborne and Edmund Curtis, and on April 30 Bennett J was chosen Gov-

t Richard Bennett was in 1641 one of Gov. Berkeley's Council. In 1672 Wm. Ed-
muudson, Quaker, visited America with George Fox, and reached Virginia about April.
I>nring the following month, among other men of prominence, who became converts
to his preaching at Ifansemond, was Maj. Gen. Richard Bennett. '*He was a brave,
solid, wise man, received the truth and died in the same.** — Week's Southern Quakers

Wm. Claiborne in 1642 was appointed Treasurer of the colony, but appears to have
been afterwards an officer in the Parliamentary forces.
Capt. Curtis was in the great fight with the Dutch, June 2-3, 1653, and was subse-
quently in the Royal Navy.

ernor, Col. Wm. Claiborne Secretary of State, and Capt. John West, with
twelve other officers, Councillors of State; but at the restoration Sir Wm.
Berkley, the late royalist governor, was re-established in his former posi-
tion.
Gov. Berkley (a younger brother of Lord John Berkley), as one of the
joint proprietors, had established a separate government at Albemarle in
the Carolinas, when, some years later, the scheme of Lord Ashley Cooper
(Earl of Shaftesbury), the most able and active of the Land Proprietors
of the Province of Carolina, was put into action for making a settlement at
some point further south; at least ''as far south," says Bancroft, ''as the
Spanish would tolerate."
Accordingly, towards the end of August, 16G9, the Carolina frigate, Hen-
ry Brayne, mr., the ship Port Royal, Capt. John Russell, and the sloop
Albemarle, Capt. Edward Baxter, which had been fitting out through the
past two years, sailed from the Downs, with settlers and their servants,
touching at Kingsale, Ireland, whence the expedition, under the command
of Joseph West, reached Barbadoes in the West Indies.
While lying here, early in November, the Albemarle was wrecked, and
another sloop was hired through the agency of Sir John Yeamans, of the
island, who intended to accompany them. Capt. West writes, Nov. 8, •' the
People here seemingly show a great inclination for Porte Royale." About
Nov. 23d the little fieet left Barbadoes, but soon after, on account of bad
weather, all put into Nevis, where a pilot was obtained for the Carolina
coast, only to be separated, off the main laud, and carried in different direc-
tions. The frigate was forced to take refuge in a harbor at Somers Island
or Bermudas, and the Port Royal, with Yeamans on board, endeavoring to
reach the Bahamas, wa<* cast away on one of the islands, Jan. 12, 1669-70,
and, though all reached shore safely, a number died during their long stay
while building a boat. They finally got to New Providence, where some
remained; the rest getting passage to the Bermudas, another sloop was
hired to take them to Port Royal. If we judge rightly of a statement made
by Richard Bennett and Tho. Groodwiu, in their letter of April 28, 1670, to
Lord Ashley, the Barbadoes sloop, John Baulte, mr., was driven as far
north as the Nansemond River in Virginia, whence she sailed early in Feb-
ruary, and, after some further adventure, reached the Keyawah (or Ashley
River), May 23, and was piloted in by the Bermudian sloop which they
met coming out to fish. Bennett's letter states that Sir John Yeamans
had returned home to Barbadoes, " after he had sent away Capt. Saile,
Governor to Port Royal," and, he continues, we daily expect some ship
with news from Port Royal, " upon the arrival whereof we shall comply
with your orders in buying hogs, cattle, and what else is desired by those
that shall come for it. In which we shall pursue your instructions and en-
deavour the best we can for your advantage * * * in the despatch of
^uch ships or vessels as is or shall be employed upon that account."
Meanwhile the Carolina frigate and the other hired sloop, sailing from
Bermuda Feb. 26, 1669-70, reached their destination safely, and, landing
first at Port Royal, soon moved up to Kiawah River and began a settle-
ment called, in honor of the King, Charles Town. In need of provisibna,
the Carolina was despatched in May to Virginia, returning Aug. 22 with
an eight months supply of Indian corn, pease and meal, while cows and
hogs arrived within a fortnight from the same quarter ; in June the Barba-
does sloop was sent to Bermuda on a similar errand.

Col. Wm. Sayle, the Governor,* was a Bermudian, a Puritan, and a non-
conformist, and his name had been put into the blank commission of July
26, 1669, as before stated by Sir John Yeamans; writing to Lord Ashley,
June 2t), 1670, from Albemarle Point, he mentions the various needs of the
colonists and continues: " But there is one thing which lyes very heavy
upon us, the want of a Godly and orthodox Minister, which I and many oth-
ers of us have ever lived under as the greatest of our mercy s." He tlien
recommends Mr. Sampson Bond of Exeter College, Oxford, who, by com-
mission from the Earl of Warwick and the Somers Island Co., had been
preaching the past eight years in Bermuda and had been invited to Boston
and New York by the Governor. From other resources we learn that
Bond had removed from New England in disrepute for having preached a
sermon not of his own composition, an act " looked upon," says Hutchin-
son, " if not criminal, yet highly disreputable."
The foregoing review tends to show that no historical inaccuracies, as to
his own movements, exist in Jones's statement, which was first given to the
public in the Gentleman's Magasine of London, in 1740. Under the head-
ing, " The Crown of England's Title to America prior to that of Spain,"
Theophilus Evans, vicar of St. David's in Breosn, writes : ** Sir, That the
vast continent of America was first discovered by Britons, about 300 years
before the Spaniards had any footing there; and that the descendants of
that first colony of Britons, who then seated themselves there, are -still a dis-
tinct People, and retain their original language, is a Matter of Fact, which
may be indesputably proved, by the concurrent Account of several Writers
and Travellers. I shall first quote a letter of Mr. Morgan Jones, Chaplain
to the Plantation of S. Carolina, sent to Dr. Thomas Lloyd of Pennsylva-
nia, by whom it was transmitted to (his brother) Charles Lloyd of Dol-y-
fran in Montgomeryshire, Eng., and afterwards communicated to Dr. Robert
Plott, by the hands of Mr. Edward Lloid, A.M., Keeper of the Ashmolean
Museum in Oxford," who in turn had received it from the above Charles
Lloyd or from his cousin Thomas Price of Llanvyllin, Co. Montgomery, as
we gather from a work entitled " British Remains." In this latter book,
published in 1777 by N. Owen, jr., A.M., the author quotes a letter of
Charles Lloyd (or Llwyd) esq. of Dol-y-fran, to the effect that Morgan
Jones was cotemporary with his brother, Thomas Lloyd, and himself at
Oxford ; that he was of Jesus College, and, to distinguish him from others
of his name, was known as " senior Jones."
The only Morgan Jones, clergyman, of Jesus College, Oxford, likely to
have written the statement, matriculated June 1, 1636, age<i 18, plebeian,
son of "John David" of Trevethin (or Trethuen), on the Avon, westward
of Uske, CO. Monmouth; B.A., Dec. 12,. 1639; vicar in 1661 of Undy (or
Wondye), in the same county, on the British Channel, near Caldicott. But
Jones, in the statement as to his adventures in Virginia, signs himself '* son
of John Jones of Bassaleg," a small place on the Ebwith, westward of
Newport, and some miles south of Trevethin, and Calamy in his " Noncon-
formists* Memorial," London, 1721, notes, among the ejected ministers of
Glanmorganshire in 1662, " Mr. Morgan Jones, an honest ploughman, of
Llanmodock," at Whitford Point, though the author indicates his uncer-
tainty, as to the exact locality, by an asterisk.
The other parties, through whose hands the statement passed, were first :
Thomas Lloyd, for whom it was undoubtedly written. This gentleman ar-

he stood high in the confidence and friendship of Wm. Penn ; was President
of the Council; Dept. Gov. 1684-88, and died Sept. 10, 1694, se. 45, leav-
ing three dai ghters. His age corresponds with that of "Thomas Lloyd,
son of Morgan L. of Llanbalk, co. Carmarthen, pleb., Jesus Coll., Oxf.,
mat. March 18, 1664-5, aged 15; B.A, 1668; M.A. 1671," &c Perhaps
his brother was the Charles Lloyd, M.A., from Jesus College, July 20,
1657, who seems to have been rector of Cascob, co. Radnor, 1664.
Edward Lloyd (or Llwyd), natural son of Edward L. of Llanvorda, near
Oswestry, co. Salop, entered Jesus College, Oxford, Nov. 17, 1682, aged 18 :
succeeded Dr. Plott in 1 690 as keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, and died
June 1709. He it was who transmitted the document to Dr. Robert Plot,
who matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, July 2, 1 658, was appointed
head keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, and died April 30, 1696, aged 53.
Dr. Plot was an antiquarian, and is said to have been a very credulous man,
a trait which exposed him at times to the practical jokes of his coterapora-
ries ; but we should be sorry to classify Jones's *' Welsh Indians of Virgin-
ia " under this latter category and assign it to the rubbish pile of the past.
What time Morgan Jones reached the American Colonies, after ejectment
from his ministry in Wales, does not appear, but we meet with his name in
the Boston Town Records, as follows:
" Mr. Jones one the 28: 3'" (May) being sent for by the Selectmen for
keepSf a schoole and being requireil to perform his promise to the Towne to
remoue himselfe and famyly in the springe: And forbideng to keep a
schoole any longer."
Notwithstanding these hard measures he found means to make his peace
with the authorities, for an entry on the records, in 1668, alludes to his liv-
ing in the house of the Recorder, Mr. John Jolliffe, merchant, and he was,
in July, one of three witnesses to a conveyance from Mathew Cory to said
Jolliffe, Lib. V., p. 495. Soon after this, with a view, we may presume, to
better his fortune, he went to Virginia, in time, as we have seen, to sail
with Maj. Gen. Richard Bennet of Nansemond Co., as his chaplain in an
expedition sent, in April, 1670, to Port Royal, or Charleston, S. C.
His services, as a minister, were evidently not required by the Carolina
colonists; he set out afoot, to again reach Virginia, and after meeting curi-
ous adventures by the way, as has been related, was back in Boston by the
middle of the year 1671, at which time he was again a witness to some deed
in which Mr. Jolliffe was interested.
During his absence his wife, thrown upon her own resources, adopted
what was then a novel method of livelihood, as we find by the following
permit of 30: 11""® January: 167^-^" Mrs. Dorothy Jones, the wife of Mr.
Morgan Jones, is aproved of to keepe a house of publique Entertainment
for the selling of Coifee & Chochaletto," — being the first mention of a
Cofiee House in Boston.* The last renewal of Mrs. Jones's license was in
April 1674, at which time she was accorded the additional privilege of sell-
ing •* cider & wine."
During the latter year the preliminary Tax List of the town, for Divi-
sion No. 4, contains the names of Morgan Jones and his man Isack Rat, an
♦ Evelyn in his Diary, 1637, mentions the Greek Canopias, who, at the Oxford Uni-

error evidently, as they do not occur on the regular list; we find Jones's
name, however, on the regular list for Division No. 5, with that of his
jnan's on the preliminary one. This Isaac Rat, as we gather from the town
records of the previous year (Nov. 1673), was one of the persons driven
out of their habitations in New York when that city was surrendered to the
Dutch ; coming to Boston he had entered the service of John Kean, who
kept a cook-shop.
The Indian, or King Philip's War, broke out in 1675; whether Jones
took any active part in it is uncertain ; however, his name occurs on the
Treasurer's accounts, of July 1676, as a member of Maj. Sam^ Appleton's
company, under Lt. Jeremy Swain (of Reading); this was six months after
the Narragansett Expedition. During the following September he was
one of the garrison stationed at Marlborough, an important rendezvous for
the forces until the close of the war. Register, xxxviii., 440-1 ; xl., 320;
xliii., 266; Mass. Archives, Ix., 97; Bodge's " King Philip's War."
By the year 1678 it would appear that Jones was located at Newtown,
formerly Middleburgh, on Long Island, in the vicinity of New York.
Bolton's Westchester informs us that, on the 17"* Dec. 1678, the inhabi-
tants of Eastchester agree to pay 401. a year to Mr. Morgan Jones, " min-
ister of Newton," if he will come and live among them and perform the
offices of a minister. Accordingly he appears thereafter to have officiated
both at East and West Chester, and rotated around among the different
places to which he was called, through a period of over ten years. At this
time King's county, the town of Newtown in Queen's county, Shawkopoke
or Staten Island, and probably Westchester and Eastchester, constituted
the West Riding of Yorkshire, as established by the first provincial assem-
bly which met at Hempstead Feb. 28, 1665.
On the Westchester records, under date of Feb. 11, 16J^, is noted a bap-
tism by " Morgan Jons, priest ; " a marriage also, performed by him, is re-
corded the same year. Bolton, ii., 200-1.
Riker, in his History of Newtown, L. I., states that, on April 3, 1680, it
was agreed in a town-meeting at that place, to engage the Rev. Mr. Jones
for one year, the term to date from March 10th, at a salary of 501., and
'* to fit the house up " for his residence which had remained unoccupied
since the death of the late minister Mr. W"*. Leverich, early in 1677. At
the end of the year difficulties arose about the collection of the salary, some
refHising to pay the minister'* tax, and Mr. Jones preferring a complaint to
the Co. of Sessions, the constable was directed that the law be fully en-
forced. At a town meeting of Dec. 17, 1681, it was decided by a general
vote, to sustain the ministry by " a free-will offering, what every man will
give."
Meanwhile Mr. Jones, in pursuance of a town-meeting, had received a
call from the people of Staten Island. At a subsequent meeting, the largest
town-meeting which had yet taken place, held June 19, 1682, by order of
Capt. Richard Stillwell, Esq., one of H. M. Justices of the Peace, it was
put to vote whether a Towne-rate be made for " ye satisfaction & paym* of
Mr. Morgan Jones, who by the Choice «fe at ye desire of ye Inhabitants
aforesaid hath Exercised the function of a Minister in this Island this Year
last past." Whereupon it was carried by 38 v. 31, that the Comrs, former-
ly appointed for such purposes, cause a Rate to be made whereby a suffi-
cient sum of money, according to agreement, be raised for the immediate
payment of Mr. Jones, " and that they take some speedy course that ye same
may be collected. Ordered that this be presented to the Court of Sessions."

N. Y. Col. MSS., XXX., 77. Some persons refusing to make payment of
this rate, it was, upon motion of Capt. Stillwell, ordered at a Co. of Ses-
sions, held Dec. 20, 1682, at Gravesend, in the West Ridiog"^ on Long
Island, that the same " be taken from them by distresse through the Consta-
ble Thomas Walton." N. Y. Col. MSS., xxx., 135. Hereupon Francois
Martinou and Jno. Boudyn (Jan Boiden) preferred a petition to the Com^
in Chief, the Rt. Hon. Anth. Brokholst & the Hon. Council of New York,
in behalf of themselves ** <& the major part of the inhabitants of the Is-
land." It is more probable, however, that they represented but a few French
and Walloons, discontented at being obliged to pay an English minister
whom they could not understand, which in fact was contrary to " the arti-
cles made with General Nicholls." In their petition, however, they stated
that they had been ordered, by the last Co. of Sessions, " to contribute
towards the maintenance of a certain person called Joanes Morgan a
pretended minister in orders but by reason of his ill life and conversation
is much doubted of by ye pet""; that said order has been obtained, upon
misinformation, by the warrant of Justice Stillwell without any summons
given to the petitioners, who are now threatened by the constable " for to
straine " upon them ; wherefore they requested that a stop be made to said
Stillwell's illegal proceedings, and a hearing of the whole matter be granted
them, '^ or otherwise that the same may be remitted by way of an appeal
to the Co. of Assizes."
In a long letter of Jan. 19, 168|-, from Staten Island, followed by another
on the 24th, Mr. Stillwell explains the whole matter to Mr. John West, the
Secretary at New York. The Justice doubts not " but that the Council will
take into consideration the abuse which is offered to mee in this false &
scandalous Petition, where my reputation is soe nearly concerned <& my
authority brought into contempt." The Sheriff further requests " that noe
Stop may be put to our proceedings in this business ; for Mr. Jones hath
beene long out of his money ; wants it extreamely & tis a greate shame hee
is not yet paid, having honestly performed his part" (N. Y. Col. MSS.
xxxi. d, 6, 9). Stillwell adds that he had never heard '< yt Mr. Jones
was a person so Scandalouse as they represent him, nor do I know anything
concerning his ordination but from his own mouth, but I believe he was
qualified as he ought to bee, because he was recommended to us by Sir Ed-
mund Andross, who I presume would not knowingly encourage soe ill a
man."
From the *journal of two Labadists, who visited Staten Island in Octo-
ber, ] 676, we receive accurate information as to the religious status of its
people at that time, and are quite safe to infer that Mr. Jones was their
first English minister. These priests state that *' there are now about 100
families on the Island, of which the English constitute the least portion,
and the Dutch and the French divide between them, about equally, the
.greater portion. They have neither church nor minister, and live rather
far from each other, and inconveniently to nieet together. The English
are less disposed to religion, and inquire little after it ; but in case there
was a minister would contribute to his support. The French and Dutch
are very desirous and eager for one, for they spoke of it wherever we
went. The French are good Reformed church-men, and some of them are
Walloons. The Dutch are also from different quarters." Clute's Hist, of
Staten Island, p. 212. Some two years later (but prior to Sept., 1678),
• The three Ridings of Yorkshire (North, East and West) was aholished by the Co-
lonial Legislature, at New York, in October 1683, and shires or counties established.

we learn that a lot had been reserved for a minister. N. Y. Col. MSS.
xxviii. 10.
We have seen, by the resolution passed Jane 19, 1682, at the Staten
Island town-meeting, that Mr. Jones had been preaching at that place for
the past year; ^ petition to Gov. Dongan some years later, from the in-
habitants of Madnan's (or Great) Neck, Long Island, states that *^ye greatest
part of us have Lived apon Madnans necke About twentie yeares and have
Lived without any ministere Amongst vs and at y^ first settling of this
necke it was Consented to by the Inhabitants of hempsted that madnans
neck people should not pay to any Minister at Hempstead provided they
would or could maintain one Among themselves and whereas In y® month
of June 1682 we entertained one Mr. Morgan Jones amongst us to be our
minister and were very well satisfied with him, But soe it is. May it please
your Excellencie, that Mr. Hobart, that is Now Minister of Hempstead,
Did forbid the said Jones of Liveing Amongst vs, in manner as Aforesaide,
whereupon he was forced to goe away from vs to our grate Damage and
our Children." Doc. Hist, of N. Y., iii. 846.
Jeremiah Hobart (Jeremy Hubard), b. 1630 in Hingham, Norf., Eng.
(son of Rev. Peter Hobart, after of Hingham, Mass.), graduated at Harv.
Coll. 1650; preached for some years at Tops6eld, Mass., and was called
in May, 1682, by. the Townspeople of Hampstead to be their minister ; which
choice was confirmed by the Com.-in-Chief, Maj. Anthony Brockholst,* at
New York, April 26, 1 683. Many of his people having become Quakers, says
Thompson, and others so indifferent on the subject of religion that they
would contribute towards his maintenance only upon compulsion, he finally
removed in 1696, a step which was followed in a few years by the intro-
duction of Episcopacy.
Meanwhile the first school-house at Eastchester was being erected in pur-
suance of an order passed at the town-meeting of Oct. 15, 1683, when it
was agreed that "• encouragement be given to Mr. Morgan Jones to become
the school-master;'* any invitation to that effect, however, appears to
have been declined, for Mr. Warham Mather, a young graduate of Harvard
College, became the minister for a year.
Jones now returned to Newton, L. I., sigreeing to accept ^' the free will
offering " of Dec. 17, 1681, already alluded to, and on Feb. 28, 1684, was
chosen schoolmaster of that town, " to teach on the Sabbath day those that
will come to hear him," and to be allowed for such service, " what every
man will please." (Riker, p. 106).
At the time of Mr. Jones's leaving New England, he had a second wife,
who, as we learn from the *^ lists of strangers in town," visited her Boston
relatives during the year 1685; for under date of Feb. 5, 1684-5, we find
** the wife (of) Morgan Jones who lives at New Yorke, at John Matson's,
formerly the wife of William Cotton, Butch';" by which it appears that
Jones's wife was the mother of Mary Cotton, who was born 1660, and had
married the John Matson above alluded to.
Sept. 5, 1685, Jones was chosen to succeed Mr. Mather, for a year as
minister of East Chester. The parish-minister, in the early days of the
English New York Colony, nourished the soul of the colonial farmer, and
looked for a spiritual harvest, be it ever so meagre ; be expected, however,

harvest, would leave some scant gleanings for the poor preacher. Such,
however, as we have seen, was not always the case; the preacher's debts
for life's necessities accumulated, and so in March, 1685-6, we have Mr.
Jones petitioning for relief against the sheriff of Westchester, who, without
giving him proper notice, had sold two chests of his books and clothes at
public vendue. (N. Y. Col. MSS.) Moreover, not being abJe to obtain
from the people of Newtown the promised compensation for his services,
he petitioned that the Town might be ordered to pay him his arrears.
Finally, on the 28th of April (1686), he gave a receipt to the Town for
anything that he had ever claimed for his services, reserving to himself the
power of demanding and securing of certain particular persons the several
sums they had promised him..
Some better fortune befel him the next year, when the people of Mad-
nans Neck (or Great Neck), L. I., dissatisfied with their being so far dis-
tant from the parish of Hampstedd, " whereof they cannot be so frequently
instructed in the word of God nor have their children have that education
they would desire," petition that they may have a minister of their own,
" whom they are willing to pay and satisfie therein, naming one Morgan
Jones for this first time to be admitted." June 9, 1687, at a council held
in New York, his Excels Gov. Dongan, Major Anthon Brockholls, et
omne being present, the Pet° was read and the allegations on both sides fully
weighed, whereupon ''It was resolved that the People of Madnansneck forth-
with pay to Jeremy Hobbart (minister of Hampsted) all arrears due from
them to him <& that hereafter they may have a minister for themselves
separate from Hempstedd, whom they are to maintaine, and that for the
present the same Morgan Jones is admitted, ther to continue dureing his
Exc'ly will. & pleasure." N. Y. Col. MSS. xxxv. 67 & 88.
The student, admitted to Oxford in 1636, had now reached his three
score and ten, " and if by reason of strength they be four score years, yet
is their strength labour and sorrow." And so we hear no more of the
Rev. Morgan Jones until, some twelve years later. Cotton Mather, in his
'' Magnalia," giving some examples of pseudo- ministers, holds up one
glaring instance to public scorn under the initials of '^ M. J.," information
as to whom he had received from one whose name is suppressed. Mather
states that *' M. J.," a Welsh tanner by trade, and sometime servant unto
Captain P. of Salem, leaving that place went to Say-Brook, where he
worked at his trade and stole Mr. W.'s leather breeches. Then he preached
at Killingworth, but, his crime becoming known, they refused to have him,
and he began preaching at Brainford until a reader, who had formerly been
employed for Sunday service, charged him with having used a sermon not
his own. This was a dire offence, as before stated in the case of Sampson
Bond, and *^ M. J.," not accepted, took up his staff* and scrip and, journeying
onward, " went to Staten Island by New York, and (again) set up for a
Preacher, being a ready Prater.". If true that Jones ever preached in
towns along the Connecticut shore, the year 1677 seems the most likely
period. As regards Mather's other remarks, it is possible that certain restric-
tions in the Massachusetts Bay Colony may have handicapped all exertions to
pursue his divine calling, and if Jones was driven to other pursuits in order
to support his family and keep body and soul together, it little behooved
Boston's great, over-credulous Divine to bury the fair fame of a fellow-
worker in Christ beneath a load of unfounded obloquy and reproach.

WAS JOHN KETTELL AN EAELY SETTLER OF
STOW ?
By Rev. George F. Clark, of West Acton, Mass.
As briefly as possible I will reply to the criticism of Abraham G. R.
Hale, Esq., in the July number, 1897, of the Register, of mjt article of the
October number, 1896, relative to John Kettell as an early settler of Stow.
Mr. Hale seems to rely principally upon the traditionary account of Rev.
Mr. Newell that Kettell bought land of the Indians. In my antiquarian
researches of more than forty years I have found traditipn so frequently
disproved by reliable evidence, that I give little credence to it. Tradition
says (Hist, of Concord, p. 57) that the day before the Sudbury massacre,
April 21, 1676, "Thomas Plympton, a Mr. Boon and son" were killed
by the Indians while seeking a garrisoned house. The inventory of Boon's
property was taken April 3, 1676 ^ which states that he w^ slain about the
middle of February, 1676. Shall we believe tradition, or the Probate
records ?
In the deed of James Eettell, in 1706, to Isaac Held (Heald ?) no men-
tion is made of any buildings, and it is stated that the land was formerly a
court's grant to Samuel Symonds. This convinced me that Kettell did not
buy of the Indians. If he had settled upon it in 1 653, it is very strange
that the court should grant it to Mr. Symonds in 1660 ; for it was not their
» custom to assign to others land already occupied. Their grants were almost
invariably of unoccupied territory. Many years ago, on consulting Mr.
Kewell's century sermon, I was greatly disappointed that it contained so
little of historic value, when with his opportunity he could have given us
so much important matter relative to the settlement of the town and its
early inhabitants. A copy of this sermon is in the Antiquarian Library at
Worcester ; but on account of its meagre historic value it is not placed in
the department of local histories. In a note to me some years before his
death. Rev. John L. Sibley, a distinguished and accurate historian, who was
settled as colleague with Rev. Mr. Newell, in 1829, said that Mr. Newell
was ** careless" in his statements. This seems to be true, for he says the
town officers of Pompasittacutt were chosen in April, 1683. Thi^ is cor-
rect. Then he immediately states that '' the spring following twelve
adventurers from Boston, Watertown and Concord, as proprietors of Pom-
pasittacutt, petitioned the General Court to be incorporated into a town by
the name of Stow, which petition was granted on the 16th of May, 1683.''
This is carelessness. For it was the same spring, and not " the spring fol-
lowing " the choice of officers, and less than a month afterwards, that the
town was incorporated. Again in their petition (a copy which lies before
me as I write) the petitioners call themselves *^ inhaMtanU of Pompasitta-
cutt," and in the act of incorporation they were so recognized. Nor did they
ask the court to name the town Stow, but that it should be given <^ some
sattable comly £nglish name."
By the will of Abraham Joslin, of L^caster, made before 1671, it is cer-
tain that Kettell lived on one of Joslin's farms in Lancaster, which he
would not probably htive done, if he then owned 300 acres a few miles
away. The affidavit of Mrs. Sally W. Hale, a few years ago, who lived
on the farm in question, and the statement of others, only proves that she

and they believed in the current tradition. How the fact that Mr. Hale
" used to cross in boyhood " a certain brook, and much other irrelevant
matter, proves that Eettell lived on the farm near by more than 200 years
ago, is beyond my comprehension. That it was known as " Kettell's farm "
for many years I have no doubt. I myself believed that he lived there,
and have so publicly stated several times. But about two years ago I
accidentally found evidence that convinced me that he did not.
If it be remembered that the John Eettell who died at Salem in 1685,
'^ in possession " of the 300 acres near Nashaway, was not the John Kettell
of Charlestown, who Mr. Newell says bought land of the Indians, and
the births of whose children are recorded at Sudbury and Lancaster, and
whose wife and children were taken prisoners, and that the names of the
two men's children were different, the matter will be greatly simplified.
The Salem man was about nineteen years the elder.
I am now done with this controversy. When it can be shown by reliable
records that Mr. Kettell, of Charlestown, bought land of the Indians, at
Stow, and settled thereon, I shall rejoice as heartily as my friend Mr. Hale,
that tradition has become truth.
DESCENDANTS OF JOHN AND BENJAMIN DUNNING
OF STRATFORD, CONN.
Compiled by Hon. Ralph DxTififiNO Smtth (grandson of Hannah Dannmg), and com-
municated by Bebnabd 0. Stsinb&, Ph.D. (grandson of Ralph Dunning Smyth).
John and BsirjAifiN Dunning, brothers, appear first, I think, at Strat-
ford about 1700. Isaac Hurd of Stratford married Hannah Dunning on
March 11, 1708. She may have been a sister. John Dunning married
Sarah Lambert, daughter of Jesse and Deborah Lambert, of Milford, about
1709. She was born about 1693. He died January 1, 1734. His will
was dated December 22, 1733, and proved February 11, 1734. In it, he
divides his estate into fifteen parts, and gives each of his six sons two parts
and each of his three daughters one part. He makes his wife and his
brother Benjamin Dunning of Newtown his executors. The inventory,
made April 8, 1734, consists of a long list of household goods, a bouse and
barn, and home-lot of two acres valued at £140; thirty-one acres, with
buildings and orchard, £280 ; one and one half acres to take up £3 ; one
half acre east of river, £2. 10. 0; six acres west of Buckingham's Ridge,
£33; seven acres north of Mr. Lambert's home-lot, £50; right of com-
monage, £6. 10. 0.— (Fairfield Co. Prob. Rec., Lib. 1716-36, pp. 262-318.)
Newtown, in Fairfield Co., was settled from 1710 to 1712. Among the
earliest records of the town is the following: ''Dec. 9, 1712, Benjamin
Dunning voted a constable, and John Dunning fence viewer." On Decem-
ber 30, 1712, there is a list of the inhabitants made out, in which John
Dunning is the sixth and Benjamin Dunning the fourteenth. The brothers,
therefore, were among the first settlers of Newtown. John Dunning re-
moved to Norwalk before April 9,^717, when he bought land, giving the
latter place as his residence (Lib. iv., fol. 280).
Benjamin Dunning remained in Newtown, and died there March 21,
1739. His will was dated March 23, 1737, and probated April 3, 1739.

GLEANINGS FROM PARISH REGISTERS OF HESSETT,
ENGLAND, AND VICINITY.
Communicated by Capt. Chasles Hebvbt Townshbnd, of "Raynham," New Haven, Ct.
Through the kindness of the Rev. Richard Morphey, M.A., Rector of
Hessett, Ck). Suffolk, £ngland, where I examined the Parish Records, May
29th, 1882, 1 was enabled to glean some items interesting to New England
genealogists, and append below such as I think may be of value. In this
parish register, under date of 1 630, appears the name of Symon Bradstreet,
clerk, who was father of Gov. Simon Bradstreet of the Misissachusetts Bay
Colony.
I also find, in the same register, the marriage of Joan, daughter of Wal-
ter Hoo or Howe, of Hesset, to Philip Newgate, of the neighboring parish
of Horningsheath, and they were the parents of John Newgate, an impor-
tant settler of Boston, Massachusetts, in 1633. Again in this register is
the name of Goodrich, which family was later represented by two brothers
who settled at Wethersfield, Connecticut.
There are many other names in this register which, after 1630, appear
in New England, viz. : Bacon, Cooper, Tilly, Fuller, Sampson, and, last but
not least. Carver; and as these names and locality may point out the place
of search for the families of Governor John Carver and John Tilly, both
of the Mayfiower, 1620, 1 give them here for others to search and investi-
gate. Also abstracts from Hessett wills bearing their names.
Symond Bradstreet, clerk 1630.
Elizabeth, daughter of Robert and Joan Carver, bapt. 9th May, 1594.
Gualtherus Hoo and Agnes Lock wood, probably widow and second wife,
were married Oct. 7, 1561.
Phillip Newegate and Joan, daughter of Walter Hoo, were married 20
Dec. 1578.
Abraham Church of Drinkston, widower, and Joan Lockwood, daughter
(step-daughter) of Walter Hoo.
John Goodrich of Bradfield and Maria Hoo, widow, were married Dec,
— , 1594.
William Cooke and Margaret, daughter of Richard Hoo, were married
Oct. 1st, 1600.
Thomas Hoo of Hessett and Ellen Chaplin, daughter of Stephen Chap-
lin of Coomes.
Agnes, wife of Walter Hoo, died 8 May, 1586, setatis 80. This was no
doubt Walter Hoo's second wife, as she is not mentioned in his will dated
1587, proved Jan. 4, 1589. In this parish the names Carver and Tilley
appear often. Also in the next parish of Bey ton.
The following is a brief abstract from the History of Hessett, by the
Rev. Canon Cooke: —

The name of Carver frequently appears in the register of this parish,
and also in that of the adjoining parish of Beyton, where a John Carver
was found with a numerous family.
In the will of John Hoo of Hessett, who died 1485, he mentions his
wife Katherine, daughter of Reynold Tylley. He mentions lands <^ye
which I holde in ye sayd towne of Hessett of the dymyssyn and ffefiurent

From the foregoing evidences we may construct the brief gene-
alogy which follows of the Batt Family of Salisbury in Wiltshire
and the earlier generations of their posterity in America, although
a few of the members of it still remain implaced. The Batts of the
Devizes, from causes which have been already set forth,* present a
far less perfect pedigree than the former family, but the fair tabular
pedigree which follows can be constnicted from the evidences now
in hand, while there seems no doubt that an exhaustive examination
of the two registers of the Devizes would greatly extend it and
throw light upon many now obscure points.
A brief tabular pedigree of the Byley Family is also appended,
which illustrates the connection between the emigrant members of
the two cognate families and fitly concludes the work undertaken.

52 Ancestry of Phebe Pierce. [Jan.
ANCESTRY OF PHEBE PIERCE OF WOBURN.
Communicated by William R. Cutter and Ahthue G. Lorino, of Woburn, Mass.
A GENEALOGICAL problem of long standiDg has at last been solved.
James Pierce (1690-1773)* married wives named Hannah and Phebe.
The surname of Hannah is unknown. Phebe is now known to be Phebe
Reed. She was the daughter of Lieut. Joseph Reed, of Woburn.
Joseph Reed, in his will dated Apxil 18, 1737, probated March 29, 1742,
mentions his wife Phebe Reed, and nis three daughters Phebe Pierce^ Su-
sanna Fowle and Abigail Reed, and his grandchild Joseph Reed, son of
his son Joseph Reed, deceased. (If grandchild dies before being of age,
his share to go to the three daughters.) The son JNathaniel, who was to
have a double share, was to take care of his sister Abigail, if she continue
weak. — Middlesex County Probate Records, 21: 159-161. Josiah Coo-
verse, of Brookfield, was the guardian of the grandson Joseph.f
According to a parcel of Reed deeds belonging to the Woburn Public
Library, and described in Bulletin, No. 25, of that institution, Lieut. Jo-
seph Reed had a son Joshua Reed. The father had a lot of land laid out
to himself in the township joining upon Rutland, for service, evidently
military, done by said Joshua Reed, deceased, before June 18, 1735 — same
parcel of deeds, 21 : 17.
Nathaniel Reed and Abigail Reed, other children of Lieut. Joseph
Reed, are mentioned in same collection in a quit-claim deed [21 : 21] re-
lating to the settlement of the father's estate after his decease. Nathaniel
is mentioned at this date, July 13, 1756, as deceased, and as having a son
Joshua, a minor, then, with Abigail abovesaid, under guardianship; Abigail
being named as a person non compos mentis in this deed, July 13, 1756.
Another deed in the same collection [21 : 24] relates to the estate of Na-
thaniel Reed, deceased, under date of January 6, 1758. These items shed
light on facts not to be found in the Woburn Records.
Lastly, from the collection of Reed deeds in the Woburn Public Library,
we ascertain that Nathan Simonds and Hannah Simonds were the adminis-
trators [de bonis non] to estate of Joseph Reed, deceased, and as such made
a transfer of land, which was part of the inheritance of said Joseph Reed,
on April 15, 1752 [21: 19].
Joseph Reed, lieutenant, was a son of Ralph Reed of Woburn, and a
grandson of William Reed, the immigrant. The record of his birth is not
to be found on the Woburn Records. He died Dec. 26, 1741. His brother
Daniel Reed died Dec. 18, 1741, and Phebe, his widow, April 7, 1743.
He served in Phips's 1690 expedition to Quebec, and according to Woburn
tax lists was a sergeant from 1701 to 1713; ensign, 1713-1715; lieuten-
ant, 1716-1741; captain (perhaps a captain-lieutenant) 1739-1740. In
1738 his name heads a list of persons from Woburn and vicinity, who
have a just claim to the bounty of the General Court, by being either per-
sonally, or by their ancestors, in the Canada Expedition, Anno 1690;
♦ Pierce Grenealogy, by F. B. Pierce, p. 39. Wobum Records Births, Ist series, p.
194: Deaths, Ist series, p. 146.
fThe grandchild, Joseph Beed, named in will of Lieut. Joseph Reed, was half-
brother of James Reed (1/24-1807), captain, lieutenajit-colonel, and in 1775 colonel of
the 2d New Hampshire regiment at the Battle of Bunker Hill, afterwards a brigadier-
general on the recommendation of Gen. Washington in the Revolutionary Army ; this
Gen. James Reed being also a grandson of Lieut. Joseph Reed of the will.

taken in Wobarn, Feb. 19, 1738, bj virtue of an order of the General
Court bearing date Dec. 22, previous. He " was personally present in the
expedition, attested upon oath of Zachariah Converse of said Woburn,"
1738. He attested to the presence of others.*
His wife's name is not given in the marriage records of Woburn, but it
is now known to be Phebe Walker, daughter of Israel, son of Samuel
Walker, senior, of Woburn. She was born March 11, 1676. Her mother,
Susanna Baldwin, was Israel Walker's first wife, and she was a daughter
of Deacon Henry Baldwin and Phebe (Richardson) Baldwin, daughter of
Ezekiel and Susanna Richardson.f
Confirmation of this marr^pige is found in the Reed deeds in the Woburn
Public Library [21 : 14] where Henry Walker and Edward Walker deed
a piece of land to their " brother-in-law " Joseph Reed, June 3, 1721.
Their father was Ensign Israel Walker, 1707, per deed [21 : 12]; corporal
1683-1690, sergeant 1690-1696, ensign 1696-1719, in Woburn tax lists,
when he died aged 75.
In these Reed papers are the will of Ralph Reed, father of Lieut. Joseph,
and other papers relating to the distribution of his property. The will
names Ralph's sons John and Timothy and Joseph and Daniel Reed ; his
grandson William Reed; and the wife Mary Reed. Dated August 23,
1692. Ralph Reed died January 4, 1712, and Mary, his wife, died Feb.
15. 1701. The grandson William Reed was the son of Ralph's son Wil-
liam, per another deed [21 : 7]: ** Whereas William Reed, late of Wo-
burn, now deceased, did with leave of his father, Ralph Reed, possess and
occupy certain parcels of land in Woburn, which he had no assurance of by
any legal conveyance of the said Ralph Reed, and leaving behind him three
children, one sou and two daughters, all in their nonage; the said Ralph
Reed having reserved the use of said lands to his daughter, the relict of
William, and mother to said children, till the son of said William shall ar-
rive to the age of twenty-one years," Ralph Reed grants to William Reed,
son of William, full possession, he to pay sisters certain sum, etc. Dated
Sept. 29, 1692. A further declaration appended names Mary and Eliza-
beth Reed as sisters of said grandson William. The v^hole acknowledged
Dec. 16, 1703.
Daniel Reed quitclaims his portion of his father Ralph Reed's estate to
his brother Joseph Reed, Nov. 9, 1698 [21 : 8]. William Reed, Jr., son
of William Reed, deceased, apprentices himself, with consent of all of his
relatives and friends (who are mentioned) to Joseph Reed, to learn the
"art or mistery of husbandry," May 16, 1700 [21 : 10]4
William Reed, the immigrant, names his son Ralph in his will, April 9,
1656, and mentions him as one of his three children that are married in
New England. — Register, 48 : 381-382. Cutter: Woburn Historic Sites,

LETTERS OF JONATHAN BOUCHER TO GEORGE
WASHINGTON.
Contribnted by Worthinoton Chaunosy Ford, of Washington, D. C.
The following letters possess more than a personal interest. It
was an accidental circumstance, a connection with Washington,
that lent some notoriety to Jonathan Boucher. It is his ideas on
education that makes •these records of permanent interest, for they
throw some light upon the conceptions of education entertained
nearly a century and a half ago in Virginia.
Boucher, tutor, divine and lexicographer, was bom at Blencogo,
a small hamlet in the parish of Bromfield, England, 12 March,
1738. He received some schooling at Wigton, and towards the
end of the year 1755, went to Workington, in order to study
mathematics, under Rev. Mr. Ritson, who, Boucher states in his
autobiography, of which only extracts have been printed, *' waa a
character, and thought so even in a part of the world that is fruit-
ftd in characters.'' He must have excelled in mathematics, for as

schoolmaster at Workington and minister of a chapel at Clifton, he
received £40 a year. Yet by taking private pupils he " not only
brought up his family, but saved a thousand pounds."
With him Boucher remained four years. What happened then
may best be described in his own words.
** Early in 1759, Mr. James heard that Mr. Younger, a respectable mer-
chant in Whitehaven, wanted a young man to go out as private tutor to a
gentleman's sons in Virginia .... I was to enter into pay on the day of
my leaving England ; to have my passage gratis ; to have my board and
sixty pounds sterling a year for teaching four boys, with liberty to take four
more, on such terms as I could agree for, on my arrival .... On the 12th
of July I landed safe at Urbanna, near the mouth of Rappahannock river ;
and soon after got to the place of my destination, viz., Captain Dixon's, at
Port Royal, on the same river, and met with a cordial reception.* ....
Being hospitable as well as wealthy. Captain Dixon's house was much
resorted to, but chiefly by toddy-drinking company. Port Royal was in-
habited in a great measure by factors from Scotland and their dependents;
and the circumjacent country by planters, in general in middling circum-
stances. There was not a literary man, for aught I could find, nearer than
in the country I had just left; nor were literary attainments, beyond merely
reading or writing, at all in vogue or repute. In such society it was little
likely I should add to my own little stock of learning; in fact, there were
no longer any inducements .... In all the two years I lived at Port
Royal I did not form a single friendship on which I can now look back
with much approbation, though I had a numerous acquaintance and many
intimacies ....
I was now once more quite to seek, and as much at a loss as ever as to
a profession for life. My thoughts had long been withdrawn from the
church. Yet happily, a train of unforeseen circumstances now led me back
to this my original bias, and at last made me an ecclesiastic.
A Mr. Gibernef was rector of Hanover parish, in King George*s Coun-
ty, and lived across the river, directly opposite to Port Royal .... He was
now engaged to marry a rich widow in Richmond Conuty, and the parish
theie being vacant, and offered to him, it wa<4 natural he should accept it.
All at once, and without the least solicitation on my part, or even thinking
about it, that which he was about to leave was offered to me. The sud-
denness of the thing and my deep sense of their kindness, rather than my
not knowing what else to do with myself, determined me to accept of it.
I did so, and was to sail for England for Orders the week after .... Cap-
tain Stanley, of the Christian, promised to give ihe a passage home and
♦ Mr. K. A. Brock, lately librarian of the Virginia Historical Society, tells me that
this was doubtless Roger Dixon, who died just before the Revolution. ** He was a
vestryman of St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania Co., in 1768, and a little later appears
to have had pecuniary reverses. In 17/^*, 1 homas Nelson, Jr., had a claim for a considera-
ble amount due British merchants to collect from him*"
t Of this "Rev." Isaac William Gibeme the commissary wrote in 1766: "His
mother is a milliner in the city of Westminster. He was not bred to the church, but
was sometime a clerk in some office on Tower Hill. He obtained orders and came
here under the countenance and protection of the present governor [Fauquier] . He
purchased the disgust of the Clergy at his first coming by unsucccsslul cudeavors to
reconcile them to an Act of which they had sent a complaint to England, boldly settin^^
his Youth and Rawness in opposition to the past and present feeangs of long experi-
ence. . . . Many of the Laity think him too fond of cards and gaming for one
of his cloth. He has removed from one Parish to another two or three times." A
characteristic letter of his is printed in my Letter$ of William Lee, I. 70.

back again gratis. I embarked on board the Christian about the middle
of December, and about the middle of the following month in 1762, I ar-
rived in Whitehaven, after a rough and tempestuous passage ....
All the little time I now staid in England was one continued scene of
bustle and hurry. I went from Whitehaven to London for Ordination, and
Bishop Osbaldeston being then just come to that see, I was long detained
and much plagued before I succeeded ....
It was a remarkable coincidence, though perfectly accidental, that I again
landed on the 12th of July, and again at Urbanna ....
An incident now occurred, apparently of no moment, but which, as it
led to some circumstances of great moment in my little history, I must set
down. One Sunday, as I was riding to my church at Leeds, on the road I
fell in and joined company with a stranger gentleman. He was from Mary-
land, of the name of Swift, distantly related to the family of the celebrated
Dean ; and being a merchant, his errand in my neighourhood was to secure a
large debt owing to him which he thought, and not without reason, to be some-
what hazai*dou8. I was happy enough to point out to him a way of effecting
his purposes, which might not have occurred to himself, but which happily
succeeded. On his return he spoke of my kind offices and myself with such
warmth that next spring four of his most respectable neighbours sent four
boys under my care, and thus began my acquaintance in Maryland ....
I seemed now to be somewhat in a flourishing way, and as I was very dili-
gent and faithful in my employment, my character was soon established.
But behold, early in August I was seized with a violent fever, from which
it was thought little less than miraculous that I ever recovered. It was late
in November before I was able to stir out of my own doors .... During
this illness my countryman and acquaintance, the Rev. Mr. Dawson, of St.
Mary's, in Carolina County, had died. Port Royal, where I had formerly
lived, was in this parish; and my friends so earnestly solicited me to suc-
ceed him, that, after some hesitation, I at length consented, but not before
the people of Hanover, who had so generously chosen me for their minister
under many disadvantages, also gave me their entire approbation. They
went so far as to continue my salary a quarter of a year after I left them;
an instance of generosity which I hope never to forget .... St. Mary's was
not a pleasant place, neither had it good water; but there was a good house,
and another old one, which at a little expense might be made such an one as
I wanted. To this place I removed early in the spring. And now, be-
sides adding largely to the furniture of the house, I bought stocks of cattle,
and horses, and slaves.
But my industry and* exertions were extraordinary. I had the care of
a large parish, and my church was eleven miles distance from me ; neither
had I yet any stock of sermons. My flrst overseer turned out good for
nothing, and I soon parted with him, so that all the care of the plantation
devolved on me ; and though it was my first attempt in that way, I made
a good crop. I had now also increased my number of boys to nearly thir-
ty, most of them the sons of persons of the first condition in the colony.
They all boarded with me, and I wholly superintended them myself, with-
out any usher, for two years.
At this glebe of St. Mary's I lived, I believe, seven years. I had a good
neighbourhood, and many hospitable and friendly neighbours; and I had a
great turn for plantation improvements, which I indulged to a great extent.
Yet upon the whole I cannot look back on this period of my life with much
satisfaction. It was busy and bustling, bat it was not pleasant, inasmuch

as it was very little such a course of life as a literary man should wish to
lead. And though it was neither wholly unprofitable to myself, nor, I
trust, wholly useless to others, yet I attained neither of these purposes to
such a degree as I now think I might have done
He followed Ritson's example and took pupils, two of whoniy
young Custis, and a Mr. Carr who afterward married a sister of
Boucher's wife, went with him to Maryland. It is in regard to
Custis that these letters were written, but before introducing them
a few more sentences may be taken from the autobiography, des-
criptive of the intellectual condition of the colony.
On my removal to Annapolis the scene was once more almost quite new
to me. It was then the genteelest town in North America, and many of
its inhabitants were highly respectable as to station, fortune, and education.
I hardly know a town in England so desirable to live in as Annapolis then
was. It was the seat of government, and the residence of the Governor
and all the great officers of state, as well as of the most eminent lawyers,
physicians, and families of opulence and note
A very handsome theatre was built whilst I stayed there by subscription ;
and as the church was old and ordinary, and this theatre was built on land
belonging to the church, I drew up a petition in verse in behalf of the old
church, which was inserted in the Gazette, and did me credit. And this I
think was one of the first things that made me to be taken notice of. I
also wrote some verses on one of the actresses, and a prologue or two.
And thus, as I was now once more among literary men, my attention was
once more drawn to literary pursuits, and I became of some note as a wri-
ter. The Rector of Annapolis is officially chaplain to the Lower House ;
and the salary was but about 10/ currency a session, and even that ill-paid.
It seemed an indignity to offer or to receive a salary beneath that of the
door-keeper or mace-bearer ; and so I wrote a letter to the assembly in as
handsome terms as I could, that I would, if they so pleased, serve them for
nothing, but that, if I was paid at all, I would be paid as a gentleman.
This transaction also made much talk in the country, gaining me some
friends and more enemies.
Three or four social and literary men proposed the institution of a weekly
club under the title of the Homqny Club, of which I was the first presi-
dent. It was, in fact, the best club in all respects I have ever heard of, as
the sole object of it was to promote innocent mirth and ingenious humour.
We had a secretary, and books in which all our proceedings were recorded,*
and as every member conceived himself bound to contribute some compo-
sition, either in verse or prose, and we had also many mirthfully ingenious
debates, our archives soon swelled to two or three folios, replete with much
miscellaneous wit and fun. I had a great share in its proceedings; audit
soon grew into such fame that the governor and all the principal people of
the country ambitiously solicited the honour of being members or honorary
visitants. It lasted as long as I stayed in Annapolis, and was finally broken
up only when the troubles began and put an end to everything that was
pleasant and proper
At the outbreak of the Eevolution Boucher remained loyal to the
king, and was obliged to leave Maryland. Going to England he

received a pension from the crown, and devoted himself to philology.
He died in 1804.
It must be admitted that Boucher was, in ability, much above
the ordinary divine to be found in Virginia at that time. Many
very pecidiar characters were exported from England to lead the
souls of the American colonists into the paths of righteousness. If
we were to judge the sincerity of the church by the character of
some of its exponents and agents to be found in Virginia, the
result would be discouraging. Like the merchandise sent to
America, many of the clergymen might have been called "colo-
nials," meaning a quality of article not good enough to be used at
home, but quite good enough for use in a colony thousands of miles
away, and where the curing of tobacco was of equal importance with
curing of souls. No scandal ever attached to Boucher. He owned
and worked slaves, but that has a necessary incident where free
labor could not exist owing to the prevalence of slavery. He taught
his slaves, and even made some of them schoolmasters for the rest.
He was a Tory, but a good part of the wealth and intelligence of
the colonies remained loyal. He loved horse racing, but against
that may be set his ardent desire for intellectual fellowship, and the
Homony Club, one of the earliest literary clubs in America.
Wherever Washington's letters throw light upon those of Boucher
I have used them. A letter from the President of King's College
(now Columbia University) is inserted as germane to the subject.
In every case the letters are printed as the writers wrote them, as
any revision of text would destroy one of the main reasons for print-
ing — the illustration of character in the writer.
Boucher to Washington, *
Caroline, 13 June, 1768.
Sir,
I think myself much obliged to you for the flattering Preference given
me, in thinking me a proper person to undertake the Direction of mast'
Custis's Education. And I will not hesitate to confess to you, that it won'd
mortify me not a little to be deprivM of so acceptable an Opportunity of
obtaining some Credit to myself; which I flatter myself there wou'd be no
Danger of. from so promising a youth. Yet am I under a necessity of in-
forming you of a Circumstance in my affairs, which may probably lead you
to look out for another Tutor for your Ward. Preferments in the church
in Virginia are so extremely scanty, that I have for some time been endea-
vouring to establish an interest in Maryland, where, I doubt not but you
know, the Livings are much better. I happened to be in Annapolis, chiefly
* On May 30, 1768, Washington wrote to Boucher asking if he would be willing to
take Master Custis as a pupil. " He is a boy of eood genius, about 14 years of age,
nntainted in his morals & oi innocent manners. Two years and upwards he has been
reading of Virgil & was (at the time Mr. Macgowan leu him) entered upon the Greek
Testament." Custis was to have a boy and two horses, and provender for the latter.
"If it is necessary for him to provide a Bed, could one be purchased in your neighbor-
"I will cheerfully
slve pounds a year, extraordinary, to engage your peculiar care

Ten or Twelve pounds a year, extraordinary, to engage your peculiar care of, & a
watchful eye to him, as he is a promising boy, the last of his family, & will po£

For my Part I cannot help imagining that you will think Annap". a more

Town from whence you might have Letters, if necessary, every Week to
Alexandria. But This is a matter on which you alone ought to judge, & in
which perhaps it becomes not me to give my Opinion. All I have to add is
that sh^. you resolve, at all Events, to trust the young Gentleman to my Care,
either Here or in Maryland, I will exert my best Endeavours to render
Him worthy of Yours, & his Family's ^expectations. And as He is now,
as you justly observe, losing Time, wou'd it be amiss to send Him down
immediately, if it were only upon Tryal, as I presume He has never yet
been remov'd from under the wing of his Parents: You will then, from his
own Reports of me & my management of my Pupils, be better able to
judge of the Propriety of continuing Him with me. And tho' it be usual
for Boys to find their own Beds, in this case, that wou*d be unnecessary. I
will furnish Him for the little Time He will have to stay before I know
what my Destiny is to be. As to Terms, &c.. These may be settled here-

Coll*^. Washington's character, they are such as I am well convinced He
will not think unreasonable.

Sir,
Ahho' I have already return'd an Ans' to y' obliging Letter of the 80^

two ago, yet as you seem'd desirous to hear from me as soon as possible, &
as Coll** Lewis now informs me that He can furnish me w*** an Opp^

inattentive to the Matter of y'^ Request. In my former L^ I have inform'd
you of my Expectations of removing shortly to Annap*, where I propose
also to continue to take Care of a few Boys, & have left it to y*"self to
judge whether, in that Case, it wou'd be agreeable to you & Mrs. Wash-
ington, that Mast' Curtis sh** accompany me thither, as, unless he shou'd, I
imagin'd you wou'd hardly think it worth while to send Him abroad to a

that sh*^ you approve of this, I shou'd be glad He might come down hither.

in the Manner you have proposed, immediately; which, I suppose, He may
easily do, as there will be no Occasion for his making much Preparation ;
since, if I sh^ be so unfortunate as to be again disappoitited in Maryland,
& be obliged to remain still where I now am, it will be as Easy for you
hereafter to furnish Him w*^ any thing He may haopen to want; and in
the mean Time, it will be no Inconvenience to me to let Him use one of
my Beds, &c. And This is all, or nearly all, I yet have it in my Power
to give you for Ans': I sincerely wish the Uncertainty of my present
Prospects wou'd allow me to speak more positively.
Ever since I have heard of Mast' Custis, I have wish'd to call Him one
of my little Flock; and I am not asham'd to confess to you that, since the
Rec' of y' Letter, I have wish'd it much more. Engag'd as I have now
been for upwards of seven Years in the Education of Youth, you will own
it must be mortifying to me to reflect, that I cannot boast of having had
the Hon' to bring up one Scholar. I have had, 'tis true. Youths, whose
Fortunes, Inclinations & Capacities all gave me Room for y^ most pleasing
Hopes: yet I know not how it is, no sooner do They arrive at that Period
of Life when They might be expected more successfully to apply to their
Studies, than They either marry, or are remov*d from School on some, per-
haps even still, less justifiable Motive. You, Sir, however, seem so justly
sensible of y® vast Importance of a good Educa^ that I cannot doubt of
your heartily concurring in every Plan that might be proposed for y® Advan-
tage of y' Ward : And what I am more particularly pleased with is, the
ardent Desire you express for y® Cultiva" of his moral, as well as his Intel-
lectual Powers. I mean, that He may be made a Good, as well as a
learned & sensible Man. That Mast' Custis may be both is the sincere
wish of, * Sir,

Dear Sir,
I have just Time to put a Cover over The Enclosed & to add to the
Infonna*" I suppose Mast' Custis himself has given you, that He has
enjoy'd perfect Health ever since you left Him, except* two or three Days
that He complained of a Pain in his stomach, which I at first took for the
Cholic, but since think it more likely that it might be owing to Worms.
As it easily went off by two or three Medicines I gave Him, and as He
has had no Returns, I did not think it necessary to consult Dr. Mercer ;t
which however, I shall immediately do, if you desire it.
You will oblige us by looking into y' Books for a Work of Cicero's,
De officiis, or his Familiar Epistles — & Livy : & sending Them down by
y® first opportunity that [offers].
Be so obliging to me as to excuse the Shortness of this Letter; it shall

BENEFACTIONS TO HARVARD COLLEGE LOCATED IN
CHELSEA, MASS.
By Waltbb K. Watkins, Esq., of Chelsea, Mass.
Andrew McFarland Dayis, Esq., contributed in the Register, Vol.
46, pp. 233-244, an interesting list of the exhibitions of Harvard College
prior to 1800.
As a citizen of Chelsea, I am interested in the doings of her inhabitants
in the past, and would wish to add to the information given regarding the few
bequests by them to the College in the period covered by Mr. Davis.
Th4 Elder Penn annuity of £10 in 1671 was paid to the elders or dea-
cons of the First Church of Boston for the use of students, and was paid
by the Sale family of Chelsea up to 1866.
The sister of James Penn marrying William Townsend, had a son Penn
Townsend, whose daughter Ann married John Sale.
On 12 April, 1866, a resolve was passed by the Massachusetts General
Court allowing the annuity to cease by the sale of the real estate, $600
being paid the First Church as a release, and that sum invested for the pur-
pose originally intended. The land in question was Round Top Hill in
Beachmont now owned by the City of Boston.
Mr. Davis does not mention a bequest by a large land owner in Chelsea,
an original grantee in 1638, John Cogan, a dweller in Boston.
In June 1652 he gave to Harvard College a marsh of about 53 acres,
a condition being that if any of his children or grandchildren were students
they should have the income while in college.
This annuity was enjoyed by the College, from the proceeds of leases,
until 1832 when the tract was sold to Dr. Edward H. Robbins.
Another owner and inhabitant of this period, John Newdigate, gave
11 June, 1650, an annuity of £5 which, after his death, was payable from
the rents of his farm.
His son Nathaniel Newdigate sold the farm subject to this annuity to
Col. Samuel Shrimpton, who was grandfather of the wife of John Yea-
mans.
Her son, Shute Shrimpton Yeamans, bequeathed it to his aunts Mary
Chauncy, Sarah Greenough and Mehetable Hyslop.
Their heirs on 15 May, 1844, paid the College $333.33 to be released
from further payment of the annuity.
Mr. Davis speaks of the clause in the will of Gov. Richard Bellingham in
regard to the bringing up of four or six students, and of which the College
never seems to have been benefited.
This opens up the Bellingham will controversy, which lasted over a cen-
tury in our courts. The General Court disallowed the will in 1676, and
though the Rev. Phillips Payson, the Chelsea minister, enjoyed the occu-
pation of a farm, a part of Bellingham's estate, during the troublous
times before and during the Revolution, by authority of the town, he
was dispossessed of the same by the Supreme Court in 1787, in favor of
the heirs of the grantee, who purchased from Dr. Samuel Bellingham, who
contested his father's (the Governor's) will.

[The Connecticut flavor of Strong and Coe, and the name of Anne Ward, strike
me. The above are very likely the grandparents of Thomas Hale of Newbury,
The surmise of the late Hon. Robert S. Hale (Reqistkr, Oct. 1881) that Joseph
Carter was Thomas Hale's only connection in New England (to let alone
* 'America") seems to me very ill grounded. The Newbury pioneers were all
interwoven in blood, and Thomas Hale was probably connected with many of his
neighbors in Newbury, Oldtown and Rowley. The Doles and Hales have lived side
by side there to this day, and Richard Dole's mother, Joan Hale, wt s doubtless
among Thomas Hale's many near connections, as well as Thomas Barker of
Rowley. We may probably add Samuel Hale of Wethersfl^ld and William Hale
. of BiUerlca.— L. W.]

[This will may eventually assist In clearing up the long obscurity about the
origin of Rev. Robert Parker, the famous Puritan, as the places mentioned are
parishes from which came some of the comrades of Rev. Robert's only son Tho-
mas to New England. It is very puzzling to detatch the Essex-Suffolk threads in
the Ipswich-Newbury settlement from the Wilts- Hants woof, crossed occasional-
ly by a West country streak. Luckily there is little Midland and North of England
stock to complicate matters in the very earliest families. Those elements
came in later on. — L. W.]

[I have also the will of Timothy Saffold or Safford of Essex, mentioning a
daughter Kebecca. This is interesting in connection with the fact that Thomas
Safford of Ipswich, Massachusetts, had a granddaughter Rebecca Safford, who
married Nathan Wheeler, one of the founders of Byfleld, and whose grand-
daughter, Rebecca Wheeler, was mother of Dr. Nathan Noyes of Newburyport,
my great-grandfather. Rebecca Wheeler's sister Elizabeth was grandmother
to Capt. Abijah Garrison of Newburyport, father of William Lloyd Garrison.
However, the above wills are, to my mind, those of the progenitors of Thomas
Safford, the emigrant. It has always been surprising to me that the late Mr.
Nathaniel Foster Safford, although a director of the New-England Historic
Genealogical Society, so long keenly Interested in genealogical matters, and
"Who contributed many important items to Essex County research, never made
any more headway with his own line. Possibly he was early discouraged with
the lamentable state of the first Ipswich records of both church and town.
Even as late as the notice of Mr. Safford in the Registbr for January, 1898,
the maiden name of his ancestress Sarah, wife of John Safford, Thomas's son,
seems to have been unknown. As will be presently seen, her name is most
important in identifying the English line of the Saffords and her own family,
the Lowes. The county records at Salem easily disclose Sarah (Lowe)
Safford's identity."— L. W.l

Henry Lowe, three sheepe, &c. and to his yonger brother Thomas Lowe
the two other shepe. To said John Lowe the cubbard in the hall, one
hefier, &c. Rest to wife Annis and sonne Henry Lowe, executors. Super-
visors brother-in-law Thomas Dapernell and neighbor John Terrell. In-
ventory, £16. 158. ' Archdeaconry of Winchester, Register, 2.
[This is, probably, the ancestor of Thomas Lowe, the pioneer of Chebacco,
now Essex, but then part of Ipswich, Massachusetts, and possibly of John
Lowe and other New England lines. Sarah, daughter of Thomas Lowe, married
John, son of Thomas sSford, and in the early generations the New Euglanders
were apt to marry among their country folk in the mother land. The Saffords
and Lowes seem thus to be neighbors in the Isle of Wight. — L. W.]

Richard Jaques, Grittleton, Wilts., clarke. Nuncupative will, January,
1652-3, leaving all to wife Grace, executrix. Witnesses: Mary Hill,
Elizabeth White, Mary Ware. Brent, 144.
[The rector of Grittleton matriculated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, in 1636, as
18 years old and son of Rtchard Jaques of Rodbome, Wilts. Henry Jaques was
probably the grandfather of Henry Jaques who came to Newbury, Massachu-
setts, in 1640, with Benjamin Woodbridge, at the invitation, it is supposed, of
Benjamin's elder brother John. Henry Jaqnes's next neighbor in Newbury,
George Little, is said to have come at the same time oa the same invitation.
Henry Jaques's eldest son, Henry of Woodbridge, New Jersey, is the ancestor
of the Jaques family of that state, while his younger children have numerous
descendants in New England. His grandson, Richard Jaques, planted the famous
elm of Newbury, celebrated by Miss Gould, Dr. Holmes, and others, and still
slowly dying in front of the old Jaques homestead, lately occnpied in part by
the Newburyport philanthropist, Miss Anna Jaques. The name of Richard was,
as it still is, persistent in the Jaques family, there being several other Oxonians
and clergymen of the name in the Grittleton rector's time, and Richard is found
as a name in the family of Sir John Jaques, long established in St. Christopher
le-Stocks, London, now the site of the Bank of England.— L. W.]

Drury, 75.
[Dr. Withington was father of Richard Withington, the deml of Magdalen,
whose will was given in the July Rkoistbb, p. 298. This will shows the Barnard
pedigree in the Oxford .Visitation, published by the Harleian Society, to be a
tissue of errors and omissions. Dr. Withington is called ** Witherington " in
the Visitation and is called '* of Lancashire." Dick Whlttington m]ght just as
-well have been denominated ** of Gloucestershire " after his famous third term
of office. Dr. Withington was certainly brought up and lived most of his life
in Oxford City, and may have been son of Richard Withington, mayor there in
1567. The doctor was M.A. in 1555, proctor of the university in 1561 and M.D.
in 1569. The Visitation which gives his second wife as '* Sara" instead of
Susan, makes no mention of her brother Daniel Barnard. The doctor's first
wife was Katharine Bridgeman, a niece of Sir Thomas White, founder of St.
John's College. Most of the doctor's children were of some note. Francis was
canon of Southwell and Oliver was vicar of Nottingham. — L. W.]
GEN. FRANCIS A. WALKER, LL.D.
By Rev. Silvanub Hatwabd, A.M., of Southbridge, Mass.
Gbnebal Francis Amasa Walker, A.M., Ph.D., LL.D., was born in
Boston, Mass., July 2, 1840, and died there January 5, 1897. His father
was Hon. Amasa Walker, LL.D., who held the office of Secretary of
State in Massachusetts from 1851 to 1853, and who was lecturer on Polit-
ical Economy at Oberlin and Amherst, and author of the " Science of
Wealth," a book marked with scholarship and profound thought. His
mother was Hannah, daughter of Stephen Ambrose of Concord, New
Hampshire, a woman remarkable for a rare combination of Puritanic
strength of character with refined literary taste. His first American an-
cestor was Captain Samuel Walker of Lynn, Mass., who came to this
country about 1630, and was actively prominent in affairs of Church and
State. The ancestral line is as follows : Francis Amasa,' Hon. Amasa,^
Deacon Walter* and Priscilla CharperUier (of French Huguenot stock).

70 Gen. Francis A. Walker. [Jan.
Francis Amasa Walker began the stady of Latin at the age of seven,
and entered Amherst College at fifteen. Losing one year on account of
weakness of the eyes, he graduated in 1860, having received prizes for
composition and extempore speaking. He then entered the law office of
Devens & Hoar at Worcester, but a few days after attaining his majority,
enlisted under Colonel Devens, as Sergeant Major in the Fifteenth Massa-
chusetts Regiment of Volunteers. Enthusiastic in military service and
"almost fiercely loyal" he performed his duties with such faithful efficiency
and marked personal bravery, that he was rapidly promoted till he became
Adjutant General of the Second Corps under General Hancock, who said,
" Colonel Walker is the best Adjutant General that I ever knew." He
took part in many battles, notably at Fredericksburg, and Chancellors-
ville where he was severely wounded, and in the campaigns of the Wilder-
ness, and the siege of Petersburg. At Beam's Station, while carrying
dispatches in the evening, he was captured and confined in Libby prison
six weeks. Broken health compelled him to retire from the army early in
1865, having won the high encomiums of his superior officers, with the
brevet title of Brigadier General, conferred on request of General Hancock.
After a few months rest at his father's home in North Brookfield, he taught
Latin and Greek at Williston Seminary for two years, was assistant editor of
the Springfield Republican for one year, when he was placed by President
Grant at the head of the Bureau of Statistics in Washington. His eminent
fitness for the position led to his appointment as Superintendent of the Census
of 1870, in which work at this time and again in 1880, he surpassed all his
predecessors in the world's history. Li 1871 he was Indian Commissioner,
but after one year accepted the professorship of History and Political Econ-
omy in the Sheffield Scientific School at Tale, where he remained eight years,
having been Lecturer at Johns Hopkins for two years of that time. He
subsequently lectured for three years at Harvard. In 1878 he published
''Money," probably his most important book, "referred to by English
economists as first of its kind." He was Chief of the Bureau of Awards
at the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, and represented the United
States iu the International Monetary Conference at Paris in 1878.
In 1881 he became President of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology, where he accomplished his most important work, elevating a small
technical school to a great Scientific University famous throughout the
land. Honored and beloved by his associate teachers, he inspired the
students with admiration and respect. They believed in him not only as a
great man of immense resources, but as a personal friend. Though he had
little to do directly in the class-room, he knew them individually, and for
them his office door was every day ajar, and his kindly advice and assist-
ance were always ready.
Stricken with apoplexy, he died without a moment's warning, undoubt-
edly the victim of overwork. The death of very few men could have
brought so much sorrow throughout the civilized world. City and national
officials, and learned societies at home and abroad, vied with each other to
do him honor. The London l^Kmes said, " The death of the American
economist, General Walker, will be regretted in this country almost as
much as in the United States."
Besides " Money " already mentioned, General Walker published some
twelve or fifteen books, statistical, historical, financial and economic ; among
the more important of which are the " History of the Second Army Corps,"
'' Principles of Political Economy," and " International Bimetalism." As
Digitized by VjOOQIC
1898.] Gen. Francis A. Walker. 71
a writer his style is eminentlj fitted to the subjects of which he treats,
—clear, positive, concise, indicative of profound and exact thinking per-
meated with strong practical common sense. Affiliating with the Demo-
cratic party on the subjects of tariff and finance, his discussions are always
fair-minded and unpartisan, and he was annoyed to indignation to be repre-
sented as sympathizing with the '' free silver craze of '96." Senator Hoar
says : " The country has lost its ablest and most famous authority in the
department of economy, science relating to money, the currency, and
kindred topics. General Walker had a clear head and a scientific tempera-
ment, which enabled him to deal with great questions without heat or
passion, and in the light of clear reason. It is better to have such a man
as Walker even to differ with, than some men who discuss questions to
agree with." Hon. Carroll D. Wright says : " General Walker never
winced. He faced his foe with pen as fearlessly as he would armed with a
gun. So honorable a fighter was he, and so pleasing was his personality,
that when he withdrew from the contest, his enemy invariably became his
friend."
Few better illustrations of heredity can be found than in General Walker.
The family for generations has been distinguished for strong character and
independence of thought and action. His father and uncle were leading
abolitionists, and among the founders of the Republican party. His boy-
hood home at North Brookfield was a well-known station of the *^ under-
ground railroad." From his Huguenot grandmother came apparently his
remarkable versatility, together with his special taste for the exact sciences.
From mother and grandmother alike he inherited that dignity and charm of
manner which fascinated all who knew him, so that one says : '^ He was the
most lovable man I ever knew." From his father came his capacious and
retentive memory, fearlessness of action and great genius for details, while
from both sides he inherited a sturdy Puritan strictness in all questions of
honor and integrity.
Tireless activity characterized his whole life. What was said of him
in Boston might almost be said of the whole country: ^' There was no
department of life that did not feel the inspiration of his noble thought,
and the touch of his firm hand." The man himself is always greater £an
his work, and it is noticeable that all the eulogies which come from acquaint-
ances of General Walker are pervaded with a sense of 'Meep personal
bereavement." One of the best types of the true '* American gentleman,"
he was much sought for in the social and literary life of Boston. Dis-
tinguished among the distinguished members of the famous Saturday Club,
he had been for ten years President of the Saint Botolph Club, and for
fifteen years member of the Wednesday Evening Club of 1777.
Always modest and unassuming, unselfishly seeking to serve his country
and mankind, he was ^^ fairly loaded" with unsought honors. In his own
city and state he was continually called to important posts. He was a
member of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society and of the
Massachusetts Historical Society, President of the Massachusetts Military
Historical Society, Chairman of the Massachusetts Board of Managers at
the World's Fair, eight years member of the Massachusetts Board of Edu-
cation, three years member of the School Board of Boston, President of
the Society of Arts and Trustee of the Art Museum, six years Chairman
of the Massachusetts Topographical Survey Commission, four years
member of the Park Commission, and Trustee of the Public Library. He
was President of the American Statistical Association from 1882 till his

death, also seven years President of the American Economic Association,
Vice-President of the National Academy of Sciences, also of the Amer-
ican Society for the Promotion of Profit Sharing. He was Honorary
Member and ** President Adjoint " of the International Statistical Asso-
ciation, Honorary Member of the Royal Statistical Society of England,
Correspondent of the Central Statistical Commission of Belgium, Corres-
ponding Member of the British Association for the Advancement of
Science, an officer of the French Legion of Honor, and Correspondent
of the Institute of France. For his Statistical Atlas of the United States
in 1875, he received a medal of the first class from the International Geo-
graphical Congress of Paris.
He received the Ph.D. from his alma mater, also from Yale and Halle.
Amherst conferred also the LL.D., which was repeated in turn by Yale,
Harvard, Saint Andrews, Dublin and Edinburgh Universities.
August 16, 1865, General Walker married Exene E., daughter of Timothy
Stoughton, Esq., of Gill, Mass., who survives him with seven children and
two grandchildren. Their son Francis has recently been appointed Professor
of Political and Social Science at Colorado College, and has the degree of
Ph.D. from Columbia.
MOORE GENEALOGY.
Communicated by John S. Sabobnt, of Chicago, HI.
JoHN^ Moore was in Sudbury in 1642, and in September of the same
year he bought of Edmund Rice a house and land situated in the east part
of the town, in the southerly part of what is now the town of Wayland.
He took the oath of fidelity at Sudbury July 9, 1645, and the same year
bought of John Stone a dwelling house and house lot, and all other lands
and meadows belonging to Stone by virtue of his right in the beginning of
the plantation of Sudbury. He subscribed to the covenant of Lancaster
»( 1 1^ first mo. 1 653," and forty acres of land were laid out in his name, in
the first grant of lots (1653, 30"> 9 mV).
John Moore was a prominent citizen, and a prosperous farmer and land
owner. His will is dated the 25th of August, 1668, and was allowed the
7th of April, 1674. In it he mentions wife Elizabeth, sons John, William,
Jacob, Joseph and Benjamin, and daughter Elizabeth, wife of Henry Rice,
Mary, wife of Daniel Stone, and Lydia, wife of James Cutler; and ap-
points Rev. Edmund Brown, Lt. Edmond Goodnow, and Mr. Thomas Ste-
vens, overseers of the will. His signature to the will was John More.
The name was written variously, More, Moor and Moore, and is derived
from the Gaalic, from Mor ; meaning great, chief, tall, mighty. Children
of John (perhaps not in their order of birth) :
i. Elizabeth, m. Henry Rice,
li. Maby, m. Sept. 8, 1661, Richard Ward (drowned in Sudbury River,

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
The Brunswick Stanwoods.— In Babson's History, quoted by Mrs. Ellen
Dnnlap Hopkins, in her article of October, 1896, Philip Stainwood of Glou-
cester is said to have married in 1654, but the town records say " Philip and
vf^fe Jane" had a son John — the second child — ** bom last of the last mo.
1652. ** Also, according to Babson, he was selectman in 1667. The town
records show by two entries that he was selectman in 1658. Job, John and
Samuel are given by her as the sons of Philip,' son of the ori^nal settler.
According to the town records of Gloucester the children of Philip* and *» Eas-
ter" were:
1. Ester, b. Sept. 2, 1684.
ii. Phillep, b. Dec. 16, 1685.
d. 10 of 11 mo., 1685.
iii. Mary, b. Jnne 3, 1687.
iv. Phillep,* b. March 10, 1690.
V. David, b. February 14, 1695.
vi. John, b. March 13, 1698 ; d. March 5, 1718.
vii. Hannah, b. February 7, 1703.
vlil. Abigail, b. November 14, 1705.
Philip* died on Sept. 24, 1728.
4. Philip* (Philip,* PhUip^) had two of the sons credited to Philip,* with
others.
The Gloucester Records give as the children of Philip' and Sarah Harraden,
whom he married, Dec. 18, 1718 :
i. Sarah, b. June 28, 1720.
d. July 18, 1720.
ii. John, b. Aug. 23, 1721.
d. Feb. 16, 1723.
iii. Sarah, b. Feb. 12, 1725.
iv. Job, b. Feb. 14, 1727, who married Hannah Byles and Martha Brad-
street, and went to Mt. Desert.
V. Elizabeth, b. May 80, 1729.
vi. Zebulon, b. Aug. 28, 1731.
Sarah, wife of Philip,* died in 1732, and he married Lydia Mogridge in 1736.
The children of this marriage were :
vii. Benjamin, b. November 17, 1736.
viii. Esther, b. Dec. 9, 1738.
ix. John, b. May 31, 1741.
X. Abraham, b. January 8, 1743-4.
I can find no authority in the Gloucester Records for saying that the original
settler, Philip, had a son Lawrence.

MoRTiHORE, alia8 Taniher, akd Hatherlt. — In looking over Worthy's
*' Devonshire Wills'* (London, 1896), I happened npon the following abstract
of a will which helps to throw some light on the English ancestry of Timothy
Hatherly of Scitnate. On pages 253^ I find :
** 1687. The last will of Elinor Mortimore, otherwise Tanner, of Freming-
ton, widow. She desires to be buried in the parish churchyard, just by the
chancel door, near to the * sepnlchre ' of her husband William Moitimore, ali<u
Tanner, and leaves 10s to the poor of the parish. Mentious sons Matthew and
Henry Mortimore, alias Tanner, and daughter Elinor Friend; also son Tymothy
Hatherley and daughter Eylin Hanver."
This will was proved the 80th August, 1687. In her husband's will, proved
the 12th September, 1615, 1 find no mention of any *' Hatherley" or ** Hanver.**
and this lends color to the surmise that the two mentioned above were her chil-
dren by a former marriage. Nicholas Mortymer, in his will, proved the 11th
December, 1618 (page 252), leaves " to Elizabeth Hatherleigh my second beste
dublett and jerkyn, my best wastcoatt, and one canvas shirt;** and '*to John
Hatherleigh my best hatt.'* I give these last items for what they are worth.
Mr. Henry F. Waters, to whom I showed the first will, said that he had no
doubt that Timothy Hatherly and his sister, Eglln Hanf ord, of Scitnate, we^e
the persons mentioned. Eglin Hanf ord came with two daughters in the
Planter, in 1685. Another daughter, Lettice, seems to have arrived earlier, for
she married Edward Foster, of Scitnate, the 8th April of the same year.
Timothy Hatherly, though married twice, left no children.
I hope that the above may lead to some further investigations. If not, it
may still prove of some interest to the numerous descendants of Edward Fos-
ter.

Nabh— Sampson— SouLE.— In Winsor's History of Duxbury, p. 801, is the
statement that Abraham Sampson — the first Abraham — married a daughter of
Lieut. Samuel Nash. Having laAt spring occasion to look up something con-
nected with the Sampson family, I sought verification for the statement in the
will of Samuel Nash, and what was my surprise to find mention of his two
"grandsons (Samuel Sampson's two sons) Samuel and Ichabod," his two
grand-daughters Elizabeth **Dillano" and Mary Howland, and his daughter
Martha Clarke. His daughter Martha to be executrix and his two friends
Thomas **Dillino** and John Soule to be ** overseers. ** (Old Colony Court
Orders, Vol. 4, part 2, p. 112.)
Samuel Sampson was killed in Philip's War, and a reference to the Old Colony
Records shows that in 1678 his widow Esther Sampson married John Soule,
thus proving positively that the wife of John Soule*, son of George Soule of the
Mayflower, was Esther Nash, daughter of Lieut. Samuel Nash, and not < 'Esther
de la Noye** as has been so long conjectured. Susan Auoiista Sboth,
North Pembroke, Mass. Genealogist,
Otis.— In the Otis Qenealogy, published in vols. 1-5, the following is given :
Stephen Otis, born 80 Sept. 1788, son of James and Sarah (Tudor) Otis, grand-
son of Judge Joseph and Dorothy (Thomas) Otis, great-grandson of John and
Mary (Jacob^ Otis, married Lucy Chandler of Duxbury, Mass., in 1672. They
lived at Colchester, Conn., where their eleven children were bom. He took the
oath of fidelity 1781, and the freeman's oath 1782. He was in the old French
war under Gen. Putnam, was stationed at Fort Stanwix, and was at the taking
of Montreal. He was also a soldier in the Revolutionary war and saw the burn-
ing of New London. He died at Halifax, Vt., 1882, aged 98 years, 51 days.
This statement was made only sixteen years after his death, so there must
have been some foundation on which it rested ; but I cannot find the official
record, although letters have been sent to the adjutant-generals of Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Vermont. No Revolutionary soldier should be allowed to
have his military service questioned by any of his descendants. Can the Reg-
ISTBR give me any assistance? (Miss) Frank E. Buttles.

Perkins.— I found the enclosed on our Probate Records after the Waterbnry
History was printed. Titus Perkins was not of Waterbnry, and I think per-
haps was from Massachusetts. In any event, I thought you might like to have
it: — *'At a Court of Probate, holden at Waterbnry, Conn. January 20, 1796,
Joseph Hopkins, Esq. Judge, Epha Warner of Waterbnry was appointed
administrator on the estate of TUus Perkifis, a soldier in Capt. Joseph Thomas's
company in Col. Jn^ Lamb's Reg^ of artilery in the late Continental army, Dec'd,

Death of James Gray. Dealer in Books.— The following notice in **The
Boston News-Letter," April 16, 1706, is of interest as showing the demand for
literature in New England at that early period. Judging from the specimens
of the publications that have come down to the present time, they were for the
most part books of a religious character, though occasionally a poem or an his-
torical work is seen among them :
*' On Thursday last Dyed at Boston, James Gray, That used to go up and down
the Country Selling of Books, who left some considerable Estate behind him ;
and tls cofidently affirmed that he made a Will, which he left in some honest
persons hand, with some other Papers, which have not yet been found : And
any person in Town or Country who have said Will or Papers, are desired to
bring them into the Office of Probate in Boston."
Reference to the files of the Suflblk Probate OflSce shows that administration
papers were granted on Gray's estate in 1705, thus proving that the will was
not found. Samuel A. Green.

78 Notes and Queries. [Jan.
Pratt.— statements on page 68 of the work issued in Boston in 1889, relating
to the descendants from Mathew Pratt, of Weymonth, Mass., are not correct as
regards (VI.) Matthew, son of (V.) Matthew, of Braintree, Mass.
I have the family records of that period, in the handwriting of (V.) Matthew,
and subseqnent records, which qnlte disprove the statement there made of rela-
tionship with Matthew Pratt, of Braintree, Vt. Although the latter may have
been descendant from the Mathew Pratt who is recorded as being of Weymonth
in 1623, he certainly was not a son of (V.) Matthew Pratt, of Braintree, Mass.,
whose son of that name, bom 21 Nov., 1769, died 22 June, 1776. Another son,
born 18 Aug., 1780, was also named Matthew, and ho died 18 Nov., 1847, in the
State of New York, where he had long resided and had several children.

His wife's name was Tamar ; can any one inform me if this was Tamar
Warner, aunt of Seth Warner and widow of Remember Baker? She was living
in Bennington at that time, and I think it very likely that David Nutting mar-

Green.— The Family of the Printers. Are there extant any of the papers, or

Eliot Bible, of Bartholomew Green (1666-1782), his son, the official printer of
Massachusetts, or of Timothy Green (1679-1767), the olBcial printer of Con-
necticut?
There is good reason to suppose that nine children of Samuel Green (1615-
1702) by his second wife were alive In the early part of 1781, although but four
at the utmost are given in the Records in 1707. I am endeavoring to find out
what became of all his children, by both his first and second wives.
My examination would seem to show that, beside the printer Greens, who
are well known to have claimed descent from Samuel, Isaiah L. Green (1761-
1841) H. C. 1781, M. C. 1805-9, 1811-8, was a descendant.

A Problsm of New England Genealogy (ante, vol. 39, p. 78) — The facts
adduced by Mr. Waters and Mrs. Troup have thrown so much doubt upon the
conclusion given on p. 79 of Vol. 39 of the Registeb, as the result of the facts
there stated by me, that, although I do not yet acknowledge that conclusion
disproved, as Mr. Appleton does, I have most carefully examined the facts
there given, to see whether any other solution is possible. I think all the facts
have the naost ample pix>of behind them, except those stated in the parenthesis
about Anthony Wilson ; these were taken directly from Savage, and I cannot
say that he who first stated them is much to be blamed, but they can be proved
only so far as follows :
John Brun<lish died in 1639, leaving a widow Rachel and five children, all
girls except tfie third child, a boy; it would appear that on Aug. 5, 1642, the
widow married Anthony Wilson : that the daughter Bethiah was about sixteen,
April 26, 1664 ; that after she was eighteen and before the daughter Posthume
was, so probably in 1666-7, the Brundish property was divided between Mary,
wife of Francis Purdy, John Brundish (afterwards Representative from Rye),
Bethiah Brundish and Posthume Brundish ; from which it would follow that
the widow and one of the elder daughters was then dead.
Thomas Bulkeley died In 1668, and his widow afterwards became widow of
Anthony Wilson. She made a will in 1677; from this will it is plain she was
not the mother of Anthony Wilson's child. Anthony Wilson had an only child,
Sarah; she married Joseph Rowland (born about 1647) and their first child was
bom abont 1677, 1 think. We find but one daughter of hers, named Elizabeth.
I have also again carefully examined Anthony Wilson's will (or rather what
is left of its record"). Two things appear: he ignores his Brundish stepchild-
ren, and is very affectionate towards the Hills ; one would naturally say they
were blood relatives of his. If it can be proved they were not, I will not hesi-
tate to say that Anthony Wilson married, probably in 1666-7, Elizabeth, younger
daughter of William and Sarah (Jordan) Hill, had by her his daughter Sarah,
and then immediately lost his wife ; perhaps I am near proving it. Possibly
this is the wife's grandchild, concerning whom Edmund Greenleaf complains
in his will that he spent money on it without reimbursement.
If this solution is correct, there are two problems (one solved) instead of
one, since there will be no longer any reason to suppose the Wilsons came from
the same part of England as the Hills.
In Anthony Wilson's inventory there occurs childbed linen. Perhaps that
might be taken as an argument that his daughter was quite young when he
died. O. P. Dexter.
SouTHWORTH (vol. 61, p. 496).— In answer to Mary L. T. Alden, in October
number— Edward Southworth, the pilgrim, was in Leyden in 1611 and 1618, so
could not have been the Edward in Nottinghamshire in 1614. Theie are some
mistakes in the line given in Wlnsor's history of Duxbnry. Sir John— not Sir
Thomas — married Ellen, daughter of Richard Langton. Christopher's son wa.s
not named Richard, but Edward who m. Jane Lloyd. Edward who m. Alice
Carpenter probably came from Sir John, who m. Ellen Langton through his
son and heir Sir Thomas who m. Margery Boteler, his grandson Sir John, who
m. Mary Asheton, and his great-grandson Thomas who m. Rosamond Lister,

84 Notes and Queries. [Jan.
[Some years before his death, Mr. Horatio Gates Somerby informed me that
the pedigree of Southworth in Winsor^s Dnxbnry was not printed as he fur-
nished it to the family. He did furnish a pedigree, bnt some one altered
it before printing. In the pedigree furnished he did not connect the Plymouth
settlers with it. I presume that Mr. Somerby*s genealogical papers, which were
left to the Massachusetts Historical Society, will show what he did furnish the
Southworth family. He complained of other clients who, in printing matter
furnished by him, had made him responsible for mistakes he never made.
Mr. Somerby died at London, Nov. 14, 1872, In his 67th year. See sketch In the

Mbrct, Mary, &g.— On page 225 of Vol. LI. of the Register, Miss Helen
Mansfield furnished some items of interest as to confusion of the names Mercy,
Martha, Mary. In one of lesser Genealogies it is made to appear that Judah
Wright, returning from the captivity in Canada, after the Deerfield massacre,
wedded Miss Mercy Hoyt, daughter of Deacon Hoyt. This information is cor-
rect except as to the Christian name. It was Miss Mary Hoyt to whom he was
betrothed and whom he happily married on his return.
If Miss Mansfield has at hand the information will she kindly state where
the record is which shows the marriage of Mercy Thorn and Isaiah Wood, 1653,

Cobb (vol. 51, page 174). — I wish to correct an error in the Woodward Gene-
alogy in the April number of the Rboistbr for 1897, on page 174. John Cobb
of Taunton, and John Cobb of Plymouth, were entirely distinct persons. John
Cobb of Plymouth descended from Henry Cobb ; married Martha Nelson 1658,
and had: John, Samuel, Elizabeth, Israel, Patience, Ebenezer, Elisha and
Jamea. See Davis's Landmarks of Plymouth. John and Edward Cobb, of Taun-
ton, were probably brothers, and Augustine was nephew of John. John mar-
ried Martha and bad no children, and looked upon Augustine as his heir. When
his wife died, he married Jane (Godfrey) Woodward, and had, at least, John,
Morgan and Samuel. His will was made Nov. 5, 1690 ; proved 1691, and speaks
of these three, and Elizabeth and Israel Woodward. Augustine Cobb was the

A Memoir of Robert C. Wintkrop. Prepared for the Massachusetts Historical
Society. By Robert C. Winthrop, Jr. Boston : Little, Brown & Co.
1897. 8vo. pp. yi.-|-3o8. With portraits at various ages. Price, $8.
The life of the Honorable Robert C. Winthrop, by his son, is an excellent
account of the public life and of the views of public questions of a remarkable
man, for he was one of the few, who, having tasted power, have resisted the
temptation to continue its possession by compromising their principles. He
withdrew from office, not because his scholarly instincts and fastidious tastes
made life in Washington distasteful to him, as Daniel Webster had prophesied,
but because he would not deny or veil his opinions and was not what men, even
so honest as William H. Seward and Horace Greeley, considered '" a practical
politician." Other Boston boys of his generation were as well bom and as
well bred as he, and had as much talent and as much capacity for public busi-
ness, but hardly another, starting with equal advantages, had the moral and
intellectual balance to determine his political principles with sound judgment
and to follow them without wavering but with moderation. Others mistook
hysterical sentimentality for patriotism and descended to vulgar abuse of their
opponents to win applause; Mr. Winthrop, when he could no longer retain
public office with self-respect, retired promptly to private life and, calm as an
Epicurean deity, surveyed from a higher plane and purer air the noise and dust
of the conflict below. He returned home not because he disliked the duties of
public life, but because he fully appreciated that he could benefit the world
more by what he was than by what he did, and from this knowledge came his
marvellous self-restraint under provocation and his Christian forgiveness of
outrage and insult from Northern fanatics and Southern madmen. On the
great political question of his generation Mr. Winthrop was not in sympathy
with the party which prevailed, and his expressions of opinion on the succes-
sive steps in the progress of that stupendous experiment have therefore an air
of antiquity which is appropriate to the elegance and polish of his style. His
views on religion and education were in harmony with his political creed and
hence it was natural that he was one of a small minority in an age which
supposes that large buildings and numereus pupils make an institution of
learning and that man's duty to his fellow-man is the whole of religion. By
the omission from this biography of all details of Mr. Winthrop's domestic
and social life there is left clear and distinct the impression of the honorable,
conscientious, refined gentleman, who, having read only the best books and
lived only in the highest society, decided all questions and acted on all
occasions with " the patrician decorum which becomes the smooth result of
Impulse restrained and emotion checked." The likenesses of him in this
volume are indeed "not wholly satisfactory," — they are too severe, as the
likeness in the room of the Managers of the Provident Association, where Mr.
Winthrop presided so many years, is too feeble, — but there is a picture which
shows a fitting embodiment of this noble spirit. In the collection of the
portraits of the Speakers of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, in
the Speaker's Room in the State House, the face and bearing of Mr. Winthrop
in his early manhood shine like those of an ideal prince in a fairy tale,
making the best of the plain faces about him look doubly bourgeois by the
contrast. The work of Mr. Winthrop*s son in this book desei*ves unstinted
praise. Seldom is a task so delicate performed with so much skill. The
volume is almost wholly composed of extracts from Mr. Winthrop's speeches,
letters and diaries, and from the letters of his friends, not chosen to exhibit him
at his best, but to give an entirely fair idea of his character. Some of the most
unmeasured abuse and most caustic criticism which Mr. Winthrop ever endured
are printed, and the only defence offered to them is the continuous narrative
showing his subsequent reconciliation with his traducers by their desire. The
younger Mr. Winthrop has limited himself to brief statements of facts neces-
sary to the continuity of the biography, but even this extreme brevity cannot

The American GenealogUt ; being a Catalogue of Family Histories, A Bibliog-

phlets on Family History, published in America from 1771 to date. Fourth
Edition. Prepared by the Publishers. Albany, N. T. : Joel Munsell's Sons,
Publishers. 1897. Super Royal 8vo. pp. 328. Price, $5.
This book is considered the fourth edition of ** A Handbook of American
Genealogy," by William H. Whitmore, A.M., published In 1862, and a notice of
it was printed in the Riboistkr for April, 1862, written, we suppose, by the edi-
tor, the Roy. Ellas Nason. A second edition was published in 1868 with the title
changed to ** The American Genealogist,*' which title the thii-d edition, in 1875,
also bore. These three editions bear the name of Mr. Whitmore as author.
This fourth edition is prepared by the sons of the late Joel Munseli, the
original publisher of the Handbook. Important changes are made in the work.
The titles are arranged alphabetically instead of chronologically, but we miss
the descriptions of the contents of the several works with remarks on the value
of their contents, which are omitted. In their stead are added a large number
of new titles. The publishers consider this as a *' companion volume** to
their *' Genealogical Index,*' originally prepared by the late Daniel S. Durrie,
and of which the fourth edition was published in 1895.
The book will be found a very useful one.
Cape Cod.' The Bight Arm of Massachusetts. An Historical Narrative. By
Charles F. Swift, author of *»A History of Old Yarmouth.** Yarmouth:

Sold by George E. Littlefield, 67 Cornhill. Boston.
While it is probable that Bartholomew Gosnold was the first Englishman to
set foot upon Cape Cod, the chrouMes of Thorflnn Karlsefne make it likely
that, about A. D. 1006, two ships from Iceland sailed along its shores *' where
were trackless and white sandy beaches, of such length as to obtain the name
of Furdurstrandir*' (Marvellous Strands). The signing of the compact in the
cabin of the Mayflower in Cape Cod Harbor (at the place now called Province-
town) on Nov. 11, 1620, was one of the most important scenes ever enacted in
the unfolding of the great drama of empire on the shores of the New World.
The fisheries have from the earliest times furnished occupation to many Massa-
chusetts men and we find the pilgrims at Plymouth as early as 1670 devoting
the profits therefrom to the establishment and maintenance of free public
schools. The author asserts that the first overt act of the Revolution took
place in Barnstable in September, 1774, when a large body of the citizens pre-
vented the judge of the King's Court of Common Pleas from holding court in that
place. This was three months prior to the first overt act of rebellion in New
Hampshire (namely, the capture of Fort William and Mary in Newcastle, on
December 14, 1774, by New Hampshire men, as the result of an earlier ride on
public business of Paul Revere from Boston to Portsmouth to give notice that
troops and supplies would soon arrive from England), and seven months prior
to the battle of Lexington. Could the Norsemen have looked down through
the grand perspective of the unfolding y«ars, could they have seen the won-
derful rise and progress (continual earnest of the grander progress yet to be)
of our great Republic in the West, invested as all of its history has been with
the charm of romance and story, well might they with prophetic vision have
given it the name of Furdurstrandir (Marvellous Strands).

This valuable work was presented to the Society by the Hon. J. Adger
Smyth, Mayor of Charleston. The contents are similar to previous Year
Books of Charleston noticed in the Reoistkr.
It contains many interesting and clear cut portraitures of many eminent
South Carolinians who were attendants at the services of St. Philip's Church,
Charleston. It appears, from ** An Act for the better observance of the Lord's

ward McCrady, Esq., that the observance of Sunday was formerly quite as
strict in Charleston as in New England In colonial times.

Some Account of the Lord Mayors and Sheriffs of the City of London during the
first quarter of the Seventeenth Century, 1601 to 1625. " Compiled by G. E.
CoKAYKB. 1897. Philllmore & Co.: 86 Essex Street, Strand, London.
Super royal 8vo. pp. viii.+H2. Price, 12 shillings, 6 pence.
The compiler of this volume, George £. Cokayne, F.S.A., Clarenceuz King
of Arms, is the author of several books relating to biography and kindred sub-
jects, the chief of which is his *' Complete Peerage," now in the course of
publication, the sixth volume having reached the name Ryton. Americans re-
member Mr. Cokayne with kindly feelings as the intimate friend of the lamented
Col. Chester.
Mr. Cokayne here gives some account of the Lord Mayors and Sheriflfls of
London from 1601 to 1625, *' showing as far as possible (^inter alia) their parent-
age, marriages, children and armorial bearings, as also the date of their ap-
pointment as Aldermen, which office during this period (indeed from 1582 to
1663) was without exception held by them. The style of each Lord Mayor or
Sheriff is given as it existed during any time of his tenure of office." The
biographical details in this volume are gathered carefully and laboriously from
every available source, and full references to authorities are given. The com-
piler has laid the students of heraldry and family history under great obliga-
tions.
The arms of Sir William Cokayne, Lord Mayor of London, 1619-20, are given
as a frontispiece to the volume.
The Colonial Laws of New York from the Tear 1664: to the Bevoluiion, including
the Charters to the Duke of York, the Commissions and InstrttctCons to the
Colonial Governors, the Duke^s Laws, the Laws of the Dongan and Leisler As-
semblies, the Charters of Albany and New York and the Acts of the Colonial
Legislatures from 1691 to 1776 inclusive. Albany: James B. Lyon, State
Printer. 1894. Five volumes. Vol. 1, pp. xxlii.-f 1098; Vol. 2, pp. 1118;
Vol. 3, pp. 1181; Vol. 4, pp. 1187; Vol. 6, pp. 981.
These five volumes of Colonial Laws were prepared by the Commissioners
of Statutory Revision and have been published by the State of New York.
They average over one thousand pages to each volume, and contain the Colonial
Laws and the other matters specified in the title page.
The Commissioners, in a prefatory note, state that till now there '* has never
been a complete publication of the colonial laws of New York." The first
edition of the Laws was issued in 1694 by William Bradford, the public printer
of the colony, of which book only seven copies are known to be in existence.
The later editions are fully described, some of which are very rare. The
commissioners have taken great pains to collect and verify the different laws.
The work, besides its value as a law book, will be found very useful to students
of American history.

The historic old Tennent Church is located near the scene of the victory by
Washington and the Continental troops over the British under Sir Henry Clin-
ton at Monmouth, and was, according to tradition, somewhat injured during
the battle. The biographical sketches of the various pastors of this church,
written by Rev. Frank R. Symmes, the present pastor, have the great merit of
brevity and are well written and no doubt exact portraitures in outline of his
predecessors in the pastorate of this church. In short, they seem to be models
of biography. A valuable appendix contains a large amount of historical
material of great value.

The Alumni Association of Franklin and Marshall College have ** decided to
publish annually, from June, 1897, a record of the lives of the deceased alumni
of Marshall College and Franklin and Marshall, the first number to contain the
records of all deceased alumni to June, 1897, and the subsequent numbers to
contain the records of those who may die from year to year."
The first number of this ** Obituary " is before us. The committee in charge
of the publication are Samuel H. Ranck, chairman, President John S. Stabr,
Rev. Adam S. Weber, and Rev. Charles W. Levan. They have done their work
thoroughly and have furnished full and precise records of the deceased alumni,
and have had the book handsomely printed on good paper and with clear type.
The committee quote the axiom, that *< the best test of any system of education
is the men that it produces." Judged by this test, the system of education at
this college is worthy of great pnUse.

Central Falls. R. I. Price, (fB.
This book, under each day of the year, gives brief extracts from the writing
of Roger Williams. In the preface, the compiler, Mr. John Osborne Austin,
says : ''It is hoped that these extracts from his own works, collected arbitrari-
ly here and there, may enlarge somewhat this field of acquaintance and lead the
reader to a study of the publications and republications of his works."
A brief sketch of the career of Williams is given, from his birth in London,
to his death in Providence, R. I., in 1688. The reader will do well to study
Mr. Waters*s discoveries about Williams in the Reoistbu for July, 1889, and in
Its later issues, particularly his letters to the aunt of Oliver Cromwell, Lady
Joan Barrington (Reg., vol. 43, pp. 316-20), while he was chaplain to her son-
in-law, Sir William Masham. It is almost certain from these letters that he
was never beneficed in England, though he says he bad refused, from con-
scientious scruples, several parishes.

We have before us the ninth volume of Mr. Arnold's valuable ** Vital Records
of Rhode Island." The previous volumes have been noticed in the Register
as they appeared. The General Assembly of that State have done well to en-
coarage the labors of Mr. Arnold.
The compiler in his Introduction informs us that '* while preparing and read-
ing the manuscript for our late published work ( Vital Becord of Behoboth,
1642-1890), we were forcibly struck with the large proportion of the matter
therein recorded, that was so very closely woven into our own State Record al-
ready published in these volumes. It became apparent that to print it would
produce a much larger work than we at first deemed possible." So Mr. Arnold
decided to publish in his Rehoboth volume the records found in the original
book, and let the new town records make up another volume. The Rehoboth
volume was published last year and was noticed by us in our April number.
The other volume is before us.
The reason for making this volume is, the compiler thinks, " emphasized by
the fact that the territory of Seekonk is now Rhode Island soil, and about four-
fifths of the matter recorded to all intents and purposes belongs to the
records of our own State." We hope that Mr. Arnold will give us more Rhode
Island records like this.
Becords of Bev, Boger Viets, Pastor of St. Andrew's, Simsbury, Conn., and Mis-

Mr. Bates, the librarian of the Connecticut Historical Society, has, in the
two works before us, preserved in print two important church records of the
town of Simsbury, Conn.
Mr. Viets was a native of Simsbury and a graduate of Yale College. His
records cover the latter part of the last century and furnish us with glimpses
of the social life of that section of the State during the period they include.
Mr. Bates prefixes a valuable historical sketch.
Mr. Woodbridge, whose record is printed in the next book, was a native of
Killingworth, Conn., and a graduate of Harvard College in 1694. He was
ordained in Simsbury in 1697 and died 1710. The manuscript of this record
was for some years supposed to be lost, but in a tattered condition it was
recently brought to the notice of a Mlddletown antiquary, who, recognizing its-
value, obtained possession of it. It has now passed into the possession of the
town. Mr. Bates, by printing it, has saved its contents from a second loss.

This is a paper which was read before the American Antiquarian Society, at

an able and exhaustive article on one phase of the history of the Laud Bank,
on which subject the author has given us several articles, one of them in the
pages of the Register (vol. 50, pp. 187-97, 308-17). In these articles he has
thrown much light on a very perplexing subject.

The celebration of Washington's birthday last year, in Morristown, N. J.,

of that State) to present to his hearers a review of the life of Alexander
Hamilton in New Jersey, from his schooldays at Elizabethtown to the duel at
Wehauken. Mr. Nelson's address is an able and interesting one.

The two Yolames of the Collections of the Connecticnt Historical Society are
worthy to be placed with any of the previous issues of the Society. The fifth
volume contains "The Talcott Papers," being Correspondence and Documents
(chiefly official) during *• Joseph Talcott's Governorship." The sixth volume

Talcott has edited the fifth volume, and Hon. Charles J. Hoadly, the State Libra-
rian of Connecticut, has edited the sixth. Both have done their work in an
admirable manner. A review of the Talcott Papers, by Charles M. Andrews,
was printed in the Hartford Daily Courant, Nov. 19, 1896, from which we ex-
tract the concluding paragraph :
" Miss Talcott has done exceedingly well in her task of editing the volume.
She has printed not only Governor Talcott's correspondence, but also papers ob-
tained from the state archives, from the archives of the Massachusetts Histori-
cal Society, from the Public Record Office in London, the Yale College Library,
and the Lenox Library, New York. These documents are exactly as in the ori-
ginals in the matter of spelling, capitalization and punctuation. She has also
furnished many valuable notes, chiefly biographical, which show extensive re-
search. The documents are excellently arranged and excellently indexed, and
altogether make up a volume In which Miss Talcott and the Historical Society
can take a just pride."
Mr. Hoadly has, as might be expected from his previous work on Connec-
ticut history, done his editorial work on Hartford Town Votes In an equally
thorough manner.
The Registers of Stratford-on-Avon, in the County of Warwick. Baptisms^
1558—1652. Transcribed by Richard Savage, Secretary and Librarian
of Shakespeare's Birthplace and Trust, and Deputy Keeper of the records of
the Corporation of Stratf ord-on-Avon. London : Privately printed for the
Parish Register Society. 1897. 8vo. pp. viii.-|-188. Price, £1. Is. Od.
The volume before us is the first issue for the second year (1897) of the Parish
Register Society, an account of which we gave on page 235 of our April number.
The Society was formed for the purpose of printing the early parish registers,
and their issues arc furnished to subscribers who pay an annual sum of one
guinea. Five volumes per year havebeen issued thus far. The present volume
was transcribed for printing with the permission of the Rev. George Arbuthnot,
vicar of Stratford-on-Avon. "The particular interest in the Registers of
8lratford-on-Avon," says Mr. Savage, ** centres in the entries of the baptism
and burial of William Shakespeare . . . The printing of these Registers is un-
doubtedly the crowning work undertaken in connection with the study of the
life and times of the great poet. That the late Mr. J. O. Halllwell-Phillipps,
the eminent Shakespearean scholar, considered it would be so is certain from a
letter dated 4th April, 1887, to Mr. Richard Savage, in which he says : * A pub-
lication of the Stratford Register would be a work of high value, about the
most important Shakespearean job that is left to do, in the whole county.' "
The Stratford Register has, since Mr. Waters's Gleanings on the ancestry of
John Harvard, a new Interest for New Englanders, for it contains the baptism of
Katherine Rogers, the mother of the founder of Harvard College (see Rsoistsr,
vol. 40, pp. 863-4). The Parish Register Society has acted wisely in selecting
the registers of Stratford-on-Avon for early publication in their series, and
in printing them in full, verbatim et literatinij with a full index.

The class books of the several colleges are repositories of much interesting

In the Registrk for July last we noticed the first number of this valuable pe-

ns seven more numbers. They contain the same kind of excellent genealogical
and antiquarian matter as the initial number. The December number contains
contributions from J. Paul Rylands, F.S.A., Rev. A. W. Cornelius Hallen, Mur-
ray Lane, Chester Herald, Col. Hon. Robert Boyle, Thomas Shepard, L. C. R.
Duncombe-Jewell and other able writers. The prospectus informs us that '* the
Genealogical Magazine will be carefully Indexed, and an attempt will also be
made to collate into one general index, the indices of all other kindred works
which reach the hands of the editor for review."
The Wayside Inn ; its History and Literature. An Address delivered before the
Society of Colonial Wars at the Wayside Inn, Sudbury, Massachusetts, June
17,1897. By Samuel Arthuk Bent. Boston: 1897. 8vo. pp. 27.
The paper of Mr. Bent, before the Society of Colonial Wars, last June, gives
an Interesting account of the Red Horse Tavern, Sudbury, made famous by the
poet Longfellow as the ** Wayside Inn." Its landlords and the events that
transpired within its walls are well portrayed. A flue view of the buildings
forms the frontispiece.
Births, Marriages, Baptisms and Deaths, from the Records of the Town and
Churches in Coventry, Connecticut, 1711 — 1844. Copied from the records
by SuBAK Whitney Dimock. Printed for private distribution. New York :
The Baker & Taylor Company. 1897. 8vo. pp. vii.-|-800-f 1.
In this volume Mrs. Susan Whitney Dimock has given us the recorded births,
baptisms, marriages and deaths of Coventry from 1711 to 1844. The book is
printed in clear type, on fine white paper with broad margins, making a hand-
some volume. Prefixed to the records are brief accounts of the town and Its
records. Previous to 1675 the Indians used the land of what is now the town
of Coventry as a hunting ground.
Mrs. Dimock has taken great pains in copying these records. She says:
" There are what seem to me some mistakes of dates in the records, but I have
not undertaken to correct them. All the records have been carefully tran-
scribed by me. They are now published that they may be preserved from the
further ravages of time."
Mrs. Dimock has done so well by the town of Coventry that we are glad to
learn that she is now engaged on the records of Mansfield, Conn.
An Exeter Worthy and his Biographer. By Mrs. Prances B. Troup. Read at
Kingsbridge, July, 1897. 8vo. pp. 28.
This is a paper read before the Devonshire Association for the Advance-
ment of Science, Literature and Art, and is reprinted from the Transactions
of that body.
Mrs. Troup is a native of Massachusetts, and though for several years resid-
ing in England she still maintains her interest in the annals of New England,
and in subjects having a relation to New England history. Ignatius Joordain,
the ** Exeter Worthy," whose life is here commemorated, was the father of Mrs.
Sarah Hill, who came to New England with her husband and settled in Connec-
ticut. After his death she married Edmund Greenleaf of the Massachusetts
colony.
Ignatius Jourdain was bom in Lyme Regis in 1561, and settled in Exeter,
where, in 1599, he was appointed one of the bailiinsi, and " from this time on-
ward be proceeded to fill various municipal offices. He was elected member of
the Chamber on September 6th, 1608 ; he was appointed receiver of the city in
1610, sheriir of Exeter in 1611, and mayor in 1617." He died at Exeter in June,
1640, aged 78. He was a Puritan of the highest type, upright and fearless.
Mrs. Troup has been indefatigable in her research and has gathered many im-
portant facts about this worthy of the sixteenth century.
The biographer of Ignatius Jourdain was Rev. Ferdinando Nichols of Exeter,
of whom Mrs. Troup has gathered many interesting details.

The preface to this work informs us that ** in 1863, the first volume appeared
of the ' Register of the Members of Saint Mary Magdalen College,' by John
Rouse Bloxam, D.D., Fellow and Librarian. ** This volume," we are told, "con-
tains the Choristers. Vols. II. and III., published in 1867 and 1863, contain
the clerks, chaplains, organists, schoolmasters and ushers, the second volume
having also by way of introduction, a very full and accurate history of the
chapel and the choral service, with an appendix of extracts from the Bursars'
accounts relating to the same. In 1881 appeared the seventh volume pf this
series, being the fourth and last of the Register of Demies. A complete in-
dex of names in the second volume, compiled under the direction of the pres-
ent writer, was published by the College, two years afterward."
Rev. Mr. Macray, the compiler of these volumes, is a well-known author,
Fellow of Magdalen College, and Rector of Ducklington, Oxon. He has here
preserved much valuable material relating to the Fellows of Magdalen Col-
lege, drawn from the Registers and Rolls of that college. Not a few of our
New England settlers were graduates of Oxford University, or descendants
of graduates, and the interest in these books among our people will induce
them to order the volumes.
Memoir of William John Potts. By Frederick D. Stone. Philadelphia:
1897. 8vo. pp. 40.
The late Frederick D. Stone, the librarian of the Historical Society of Penn-
sylvania and the editor of its publications, in this volume pays a merited
testimonial to the memory of his friend and early schoolfellow, William John
Potts, of Camden, New Jersey. He remembered him forty years before as •* a
bright little boy " in Mr. James's school, whom he afterwards learned to love
and admire. Mr. Potts died at his residence in Camden, Nov. 18, 1896, and
this memoir was read before the American Philosophical Society, Dec. 1, 1896.
He was a frequent and valued contributor to the Register, and to other anti-
quarian publications. A brief sketch of his life was printed by us in January,
1896. Mr. Stone says of him : *' To sum up Mr. Potts's character in a few
words, he can best be described as an educated gentleman of broad and liberal
tastes, in whose company every one could find pleasure."
To the memoir are added letters from Mr. Potts to Mr. Stone on '* Reading
in the British Maseum and in the National Library, Paris," and to Mr. John
Jordan, Jr., on *' Fictitious Antiquities."
Puhlicatiotis of the American Jewish Historical Society. Papers presented at the
Annual and Scientific Meetings, held at New York, Washington, Philadelphia
and Baltimore. Published by the Society. [Press of the Friedenwald Company,
Baltimore, Md.] 1893-1897. 6 Nos. 8vo.
The American Jewish Historical Society was organized at New York, June 7,
1892, with the Hon. Oscar S. Straus as president. Its object is to present to the
world material relating to the history of this country, and is therefore not secta-
rian, but American, although it is the genealogy and actions of Jews only which
it designs to record. They are such Jews, however, as participated in the dis-
covery and colonization of America, and bore a part in the Revolution, either
personally or by pecuniary aid. Their contributions to the progress of the ia-
dependent nation, philanthropic, literary and military, are also included, note-
worthy among these being their share in the anti-slavery movement. The
Jews of South America have likewise been embraced In the scope of the So-
ciety.
These publications will confirm the reader in the high estimate which every
cultured mind places on the part borne by the Jews not only in the universally
acknowledged moralization, but also, to a preeminent degree, in the intellectuali-
zation of the human race.

The last Annual Beport of the Connecticat Historical Society, which is be-

here printed is one of especial value, entitled " Historical Notes on the Probate

The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts, vjith some Belated
Families of Newbury, Haverhill, Ipswich and Hampton. By David W. Hoyt.
Part One. Providence, R. I. : 1897. 8vo. pp. 80. Price, f 1 a part.
Mr. Hoyt, of Providence, R. I., the author of the Hoyt Genealogy, has issued
the first part of the work on Salisbury and Amesbury announced in our Octo-
ber Register (Vol. 61, p. 497). The work, as prepared for the press, is in-
tended to consist of five parts of eighty pages each. The Introduction fills
thirty pages and contains many ancient names and other original documents
relating to the two towns. The genealogical portion fills fifty pages and con-
tains a record of families from Allen to Buswell, all carefully compiled with
full and precise dates. This is a much needed work, and we trust that those
interested will by promptness with their subscriptions see that the whole book
may be printed without delay. If the means are not furnished for printing the
other parts the manuscript will be deposited In the library of this Society.

These two pamphlets are very valuable additions to the bibliography of this
country. The Antiquarian Society has a rare collection of early American
books and broadsides, of which Mr. Paine has here given blbllograplcal des-
criptions with interesting historical notes. The Massachusetts Historical So-
ciety, Harvard College Library and the Boston Public Library have also many
early American Imprints which together furnish opportunities for those who
are studying the early literature of this country to make themselves familiar
with the original editions. A list of the early American imprints in the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society has been printed, and we trust that Harvard College
and the Boston Public Library will see that bibliographical lists of their collec-
tions are prepared and printed.

The Biographical Pablishing Company of Baflblo, N. Y., has given us in the
noble volume before us biographies of about three hundred and fifty leading
citizens of Grafton County, New Hampshire, with portraits of over eighty of
them. The book makes a handsome volume. It is printed and bound in a
superior manner, and is embellished with fine portraits. We hope the Com-

we are led to study the annals of the people, as shown in. our best town his-

We continue in this number our quarterly list of recent genealogical works.
The volume on the Fairbanks family contains over 950 pages, and is well
filled with the records of that family, evidently compiled with care. It gives
the descendants of Jonathan Fairbank, who came to New England in 1638 and
settled at Dedham, Mass., where he died Dec. 5, 1668. The book makes a
handsome volume, illustrated with over fifty portraits besides other engravings.
The family is to be congratulated on having so full a record of the varioas
branches of that ancient New England family. The volume has a good Index.
. The two volumes on the Doty or Doten family are a great addition to tbe
genealogical works relating to the descendants of the Mayflower pilgrims.
The compiler, Mr. Ethan Allen Doty of Brooklyn, N. Y., has evidently de-
voted much care to the compilation of this work, which is well printed and
bound, and has a very full index.
The record of the Ml not family is an elegant volume worthy of the family
80 prominent In the history of Massachusetts. A genealogy of that family by
the pioneer genealogist, Lemuel Shattuck, was printed In the first volumes of
the Rrgistkr. The Massachusetts family is descended from Elder George Mlnot
who was born Aug. 4, 1590, atSafiVon Walden, Essex, where his father Thomas
Mlnot was a man of education and wealth. The son was one of the first settlers
of Dorchester, Mass. The book is compiled by Joseph Grafton Mlnot, Esq.,
of Boston, who acknowledges indebtedness to Walter Kendall Watkins for re-
searches in England, where the name Is traced to A.D. 1307. The history of the
Digitized by VjOOQIC

family in England is fnlly given and the genealogy is well traced. Tlie book is
printed on fine white paper with broad margins and is neatly and substantially
bonnd. It is illustrated with engravings of the church of Saffron, Walden,
exterior and interior, and Audley End Mansion in Essex, besides other illustra-
tions.
Mr. Lord's Memorials of the family of Morse is a later edition of the work
noticed in the Register for January, 1897 (vol. 51, page 93), with additions and
revision.
The Lincoln volume contains Hon. Solomon Lincoln's article on the Lincoln
family of Massachusetts, reprinted from the Reoistrr of October, 1865, and
other Lincoln matter by the compiler. It is handsomely printed and embellished
by elegant photographic views.
The Narrative of Phinehas Pratt is well known as an original authority on the
beginnings of New England history. The late Eleazer F. Pratt of Boston, a de-
scendant of Phinehas, devoted much time during his long life to the collection
of the records of his kindred, and his sons (Messrs. Francis S. and Charles H.
Pratt) have given to the public the result of his labors in an attractive form.
It is from the press of T. R. Marvin & Son.
The Sandwith pedigree Is traced to the reign of Henry VIII., George Sand-
with of Oswaldkirk, in Yorkshire, the stirps of this family, being found in
that county in 1525. He died Nov. 12, 1560. The pedigree seems to be com-
piled with great care and judgment. The author says in the Introduction, that
it is printed to ** place beyond the loss by Are or other cause, a large mass of
genealogical facts that represent many years of labor and research." The
anthor asks that corrections or additions be sent to his publishers, Messrs.
Phillimore & Co.
The pedigree of the Royal Family gives the descendants of George III.,
King of England, to the present time, with precise dates. It will be found
very useful.
The genealogical chart of the sovereigns of Great Britain is issued In *' com-
memoration of the Sixtieth Year of Her Majesty's Reign and the Thirteenth
Centenary of the Foundation of the See of Canterbury." It is ingeniously
contrived to show at a glance much interesting information.
The pamphlet on the Royal Houses is intended as a companion to the chart.
It gives matter that could not conveniently be got into the chart.
The Farnsworth volume contains a valuable record of the Farnsworth Family
in this country, compiled by Moses F. Farnsworth of Manti, Utah. He has evi-
dently spent much time collecting the records of this scattered family. It is
well arranged and well Indexed.
The book on the Bockee family is an interesting record of a family of
French descent. The name was originally spelled Boucquet, and descendants
nse a variety of spelling. The book is well arranged and handsomely printed,
with a good index.
The book on the Howaixl family is devoted to the descendants of Abraham
Howard of Marblehead, and is a well printed volume, with full indexes. The
volnme combines the results of the independent researches of Joseph P. How-
ard of New York, Judge Nathaniel J. Holden of Salem, and the compiler, Henry
W. B. Howard, 174 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
The King genealogy contains much matter about the King family in this
country, and is an important addition to American genealogy. It is embel-
lished with portraits and views of buildings, with maps, showing the location*
of places where the early Kings settled.
The Smith Memorial is an interesting volume. It contains a full genealogical
record from 1707 to 1895, and Miss Smith, the compiler, does herself credit by
her work.
Sampson Mason, to whose genealogy the next book is devoted, came to New Eng-
land and settled in Dorchester in 1640, and thence removed to Rehoboth. The old
church at Swansea was organized at his house in 1663. A genealogy of his
descendants by Judge Ira M. Barton was published in the Register for July,
1664. The present work has large additions to that article.
The three works on the Twinings, whose titles we give, are compiled by Miss
Louisa Twining of Rochester, Kent, England. They give much genealogical
and biographical matter relative to the Twining family. She has preserved
much interesting matter relating to the name.

The Yolame on the Prince family contains the records of many of the name
who served in the Revolutionary war, the war of 1812| and the civil war. It
will be fonnd a useful compilation.
Eaton Grange, which furnishes the title for the next work on our list, is the
snmmer home of the sons and daughters of John Eaton. The eldest son, Gen.
John Eaton, is the executive in charge of the affairs of the Grange, and Miss
Christie L. Eaton, the author of this work, is the matron and hostess. Much
biographical, genealogical and historical matter will be found in these pages.
The pamphlet on the Webber family furnishes a good account of the descend-
ants of Andrew Webber, bom in Methuen Feb. 18, 1763. He was a son of
William and Lucy (Kimball) Webber and a grandson of Edward Webber of
Ipswich, Mass. The descendants are well traced.
The South woi*th pamphlet is printed for the author, Geo. C. S. Southworth
of Salem, O., for private distribution. It relates, as its title states, to the de-
scendants of Constant Southworth of Duxbury, Mass., son of Edward South-
worth, whose widow Alice was the second wife of Gov. William Bradford.
The Upham pamphlet gives a record of the descendants of the Uphams who
settled in Amherst, N. H., prefixed by a sketch of the early history of the
family. It has a good index.
The Whipple-Hill pamphlet seems to be devoted to a record of the ancestry
of the compiler, besides an account of the Whipple and Hill families and frag-
mentary records of the Hawkins, Wager, Walker, Hall, Redeway, Tower,
Sabin, Fisher, Allen, Maryott, Bullard, Matson, Brown, Read, Slocomb, Met-
calf, Abel, Bucklin, Barstow and Farrington families. It has an index.
The Stone pamphlet gives the lately discovered information as to the birth-
place and ancestry of Simon Stone of Watertown and Gregory Stone of Cam-
bridge, which was read by the author at a meeting of the Stone Family Asso-
ciation, Jan. 26, 1897. It is a valuable contribution to the history of the Stones.
The Leeds pamphlet was noticed by us in July, 1807, but there was a typo-
grapical error in the title which leads us to give the title correctly here.
The next pamphlet, on Henry Boardman Taylor and his ancestry and kindred,
is a genealogy of one branch of the Taylor family. The author has been suc-
cessful in tracing this line.
The pamphlet on the Howland and other families gives brief genealogies of
families bearing those names.
The contents of the Moore chart are described on its title.
The Marcy pamphlet is by Prof. Oliver Marcy, LL.D., of the Northwestern
University. He contributed an article on this family to the Register for July,
1^875. This pamphlet is printed to preserve matter obtained since that article
was published. He acknowledges assistance from the late Manning Leonard
of Southbridge.
The Sherman pamphlet was compiled by Charles A. White of New Haven,
Conn. Our readers have the substance of it contributed by Mr. White to the
Register for July, 1897.
The next four pamphlets — Kuhn, Schieffelin, Batt and Byley, and Richard
Williflins — are reprints from the Register and are known to our readers.
The pamphlet on the Tyler gathering gives an account of the first Tyler Be-
tmion at North Andover Centre In September last. It has for a frontispiece s
portrait of Prof. William S. Tyler of Amherst College.
The Hills pamphlet contains the third annual report of the Directors of the
Hills Family Genealogical and Historical Association, organized July 6, 1894.

of the Knowiton Association, the first held at Hartford, Conn., Nov. 18, 1895,
and the second at Boston, Mass., June 17, 1896.
The Buchanan book gives an account of the <* First Gathering of the Ba-
chaaan Clan, Trotting Creek, Miami Co., Ohio, Saturday, October 1. 1892."
It contains a list of some of the descendants of Col. George Buchanan.

lAgf which was held at Rowley, Mass., in August, 1896. HoUis R. Bailey, 88

Here might come the will of Thomas Ferrers, citizen and clothworker of
London, who seems to have married Judith the widow of John Juxon. This
will was made 5 March 11 Charles, with a codicil dated 14 March 16S5, proved
17 January 1686. He mentions wife Judith and the children she had by her
former husbands, without naming them, and also her uncle Sir Nicholas Rayn-
ton and her brother Nicholas Raynton. This is all I found in his will bearing
on his wife's relationships. In case any one interested would like to make a
further and larger examination of it, I would say it is registered in Book
Goare (11).]

[These Juxon wills, which began witb the will of Thomas Knott on the last
page of my Gleanings for July, enable us to enlarge very greatly the pedigree
of Juxon given in the Visitation of London for-1633-4, &c., as published by the
Harlelan Society (page 23 of the second volume) . It begins with a John Juxon,
whose will I have not run across, but who appears apparently in the registry
of Christ Church, Newgate Street, a printed copy of which I had a chance to
examine hurriedly last year. From that I gleaned the following :

1580 May 23 Christopher son of Rass (Raff) Juxson.

Among the Marriage Licenses recorded in the Vicar General's Book (1583-90)
I found one Issued in January 1683 to the curate of St. Mildred's, Bread Street,
to solemnize a marriage between Thomas Juxon of Christ Church, Newgate,
merchant taylor and Elizabeth Ireland spinster (puellamj, daughter of John Ire-
land of the aforesaid parish,. Salter. This was that Thomas Juxon whose will
was published in my Gleanings for July 1889 (Register, Vol. 43, pp. 304-6).
His daughter Elizabeth became the wife of Sampson Cotton, whose will was
also published in that same volume of the Register (p.. 303). Elizabeth, one
of the daughters of Sampson and Elizabeth Cotton, was the wife of Edmond
Sheaf e and the mother of Sampson Sheaf e of New England; after the death of
Mr. Sheafe she was married to Mr. Matthew Barker, a clergyman of London.
Anne, another daughter of Sampson Cotton, became the wife of Thomas Wal-
ters, a merchant of London ; Joane, another, was married first to John Wood, a
merchant of London, and secondly to John Bence ; Hester, another daughter,
was married first to William Ballowe, citizen and mercer of London, and sec-
ondly to Edward Wastfleld or Westfield, citizen and grocer of London. Most
of the wills of these people I have gathered and here publish.]

[Thomas Sonthcott of Calwoodley, Devon, whose will is given in Reg., Vol.
48, p. 139, mentions his son Richard whom he makes his sole executor.
Vivian's Visitation of Devon gives the wife of Richard as Elizabeth Whif-
fleld of Wadhurst, Sassez, an evident error for Whitfield.
It was this Richard most probably who was at Dorchester, who came in the
Mary and John, 1630, and returned in July of that year to England.
His brother was (George Southcott of Eilmlngton, Devon, of whom is re-
corded in the Public Record Office his great service to the Puritans. Thomas,
son of George, is also mentioned.

[Mrs. Sarah Byfleld, the testator, was mother of fcol. Nathaniel Byfleld, of
Boston. Mass., and Bristol, R. I. Her husband, Rev. Ricliatd Byfeild, of Long
Ditton, died 26 Dec, 1664, in Ws 67th year. His will is given in these " Glean- .
ings^ (Register, vol. 39, page 174). His baptism was recorded at Stratford"
on-Avon, 24 Sept. 1598, followed by on 24 Apr. 1600, that of Robert, and on
16 Mch. 1601, by Nathaniel, children of Richard Byfleld.
Their father, Rev. Richard Byfleld, in 1603 left Stratford after service as
vicar, this name appearing continuously from 1568 as such, in the parish regis-
ter, which commenced in that year. He went to a parish in Worcestershire^
and then to Islesworth, Middlesex. His will is given in the " Gleanings "
(Register, vol. 39, p. 173), proved 24 Oct. 1633.
Rev. Nicholas Byfeild, b. 1579, whose will is given in this number on p. 135,
is said to have been a half brother of Rev. Richard Byfeild of Long Ditton, by
Brook in his "Lives of the Puritans," and that his father became minister of
8tratford-on-Avon in 1596. Rev. Richard of Long Ditton wrote •' The Doc-
trine of the Sabbath vindicated against his Brother Mr. Nicholas Byfleld"
(Calamy).
It is possible and probable that the Ric. Bifleld, who is signed continuously
from 165fe to 16(^3, the register at Stratford, were two individuals during that
period.
Adoniram Byfleld, whose will is given on p. 139, son of Nicholas Byfleld, of
Islesworth, see ante, p. 135, was a graduate of Emanuel college, Cambridge, in
the year 1642 became chaplain to Sir Henry Colmey's regiment in the Parliamen-
tary army, and the next year was appointed scribe to the assembly of divines;
In 1646 he with others was appointed to collect proofs of scripture quotations,
Bod the same were inserted in the " Confession of Faith."
He was rector of Fulham, Middlesex, and afterwards of Colllngbourne-DuciSj
Wilts.
He was mentioned by name by Butler in his ** Hudibras."

south side because my kindred lie on that side. I would be put into a
plain coffin made of well seasoned whole deal, with no more expense than
what will just be decent. I would not be put into a coach or hearse but
be borne on men's shoulders to the water side and be carried in a boat to
the small landing just against the church and from thence to be carried on
men's shoulders directly to my grave. I would not have the customary
service said over me nor the minister to be busy there nor to be eager for
money because I have so little to leave to my wife. And as to that small
Worldly substance which at present I possess and as to that which hereafter
will come due to me I give it entirely and every particular of it to my
dear and well beloved wife Mrs. Dorothy Byfield. I give to her all that
legacy of two hundred pounds left me by my cousin Mr. Thomas Juxon
late of Clapham, Surrey, as is to be made out by his last will. I give to her
my Patent for Sal Oleosum Volatile and all the benefits and profits of my
articles grounded thereon. And I give to her all the arrears of one hun-
dred pounds per annum together with my arrears according to my stock
and share in the copartnership with Mr. Francis Moult and Mr. Daniel
Crichlow. I give her all the cost of the Lawsuit they so barbarously and
cruelly commenced against us. I freely and cheerfully forgive Mr. Moult
and Mr. Crichlow the cruelty and base usage of me in my lifetime in the
body and hope they may find repentance, but I do not forgive them any sort
of money that is due to me on any account, but order it to be recovered
from them and paid to my wife. And now with much love and affection
I make and constitute my dear wife Mrs. Dorothy Byfield sole executrix of
this my last will and testament and with great tenderness I commit her*
spirit, soul and body into the most merciful hands and sweet embrace of our
most gracious God and loving Redeemer, that under his glorious power and
protection her spiritual life may be secured and her outward life preserved
from all danger and trouble, and I exhort Mr. Moult to lay aside his cruel-*
ty and fraudulent dealing as he will answer for it without repentance and
restitution. Richmond, 253.

[It is evident that the foregoing wills relate to the family of our Rev. John
Wilson. The will of his stepmother, made In the lifetime of her husband, was
i^n entirely unexpected find. William Gibbs, the testator In the will immediately
preceding this note, was a nephew of our Mr. Wilson, being a grandson of the
Rev. William Wilson, Canon of Windsor, whose will I gave early in these
Gleanings (Part I., pp. 54-55). Other wills relating to this family of Wilson
and their connections may be found in Part III. of same Gleanings, pp. 267-272.
The will of Mrs. Wilson, who was the second wife of Canon Wilson, shows
clearly enough that she was a Webb, sister of thai; Erasmus Webb whose will
Is here given, and whose name appears in her will.
The father of the Rev. William Wilson of Windsor (and grandfather of our
John Wilson of Boston) was, as we have found, a William Wilson of Wells-
bourne, in Lincolnshire, who died in Windsor Castle and was buried there in
1587.
In Harleian MS. 1507, 1 found the following on leaf 20 (in pencil) :

AccoRDrNG to Hubbard's Narrative of the Indian Wars, — " On
the 24 of June 1675 was the alarm of war first sounded in Ply-
mouth Colony when eight or nine of the English were slain in and
about Swansea," but no names were given.
The Plymouth Colony Records of births, marriages and burials
contain the following burials at Swansea, June 24, 1675, as re-
ported by the town clerk of Swansea at that time, and there are no
other deaths or burials recorded in Swansea on that day.
The following ^re the names as recorded :

BELLS IN NEW ENGLAND.
By the Rev. John James Rayen, D.D., F.S.A., Vicar of Fressingfield, Suffolk, Eng.
The glimpses of New England life in the seventeenth century,
which we gain from the extracts from local accounts given by Mr.
Elbridge H. Goss,t reveal a resuscitation of primitive expedients
for calling assemblies, to be found in the Pentateuch or in the writ-
ings of ecclesiastics of the sixth century. The Levitical silver
trumpets,) and the inntavrpa^ or signal-boards smitten with a mal-
let, have their later representatives in the conch-shell blown by
John Lane at the town of South Hadley, and in the drummer at
Cambridge, the director of Johnson's wandering footsteps.
When we reach the period when bells began to be used, our curi-
osity is roused as to their history. No evidence has been found
by us in the old country so important as that afforded by the bells
themselves — by means of their inscriptions, mouldings, foundry

marks, armorial bearings and initial crosses. In order to collect
and arrange these evidences much labor has been undergone. Many
a painful and dangerous climb up rickety ladders has been made
in order that some English shire might be completed. Thus in the
earlier days of bell-hunting the octogenarian EUacombe worked in
the west ; thus my poor wasted friend North in his sick-room man-
aged, by correspondence, to place so much of the Midlands on
record ; thus with the help of others I completed Cambridgeshire,
and afterwards saw " The Church Bells of Suffolk," the result of
forty years' exertion, in print.
In the course of these pilgrimages we learned never to despise
single bells, even if devoted to secular use. For instance, over a
stable at Ford Abbey, in the parish of Thomcombe, Dorset, we
found a mediseval bell from the Norwich foundry,* inscribed: —
* FAO MABGABETA • NOBIS HEO MUNEBA LETA ;
nor is this by any means a solitary case. Mr. Goss has recorded
the inscriptions on. several of the later bells, such as the sixteen in
the First Church, Harvard Square, Charlestown, the gift of Miss
Charlotte Harris, and the work of W. Blake & Co., of Boston,
dated 1868 ; but many of the single bells have not been looked at,
and it is quite possible that they may have their story to tell. If
we in the old country may receive casts or rubbings of lettering and
marks, we can easily compare them with what are already recorded
and engraved. The dates on the eight at Christ Church, Boston,
make it pretty clear that the second (1723) waa the original bell
of the church, and that the other seven (1744) were cast to bear
it company. It would be worth while to see what marks of tuning
there are on them, or whether that excellent craftsman, Abel Kud-
hall, of Gloucester, England, succeeded in turning them out in tune.
The initials A. B. on the second bell are those of Abraham Rudhall
the elder. HiB earliest known bell is at Oddington, Gloucester-
shire, dated 1684. At that time the surname was spelt Riddall.
He died in 1735-6. Abel, who was his grandson, died in 1760,
aged 46, and was therefore a man of thirty at the time of the com-
pletion of the Christ Church eight. The pedigree is given in
Ellacombe's "Church Bells of Gloucestershire," p. 79.
Our interest will be much centred at present on two recorded by
Mr. Goss, that, '* small of size and of disagreeable sound," dated
1719, supposed to be at Charlton, Co. of Worcester; and that
which rests in the court house of Barnstable, bearing the year 1673
with much grotesque ornamentation. But nothing will come amiss
to us. Not long ago a Mechlin bell was sent to me, which in the
sack of that city had been taken by some soldier and carried to
Spain. So, hanging over some New England school, court-house,
or even coach-house, may be found a Sanctus bell of the middle
ages, or the summons bell of some village guild. Even mortars

of bell-metal, and weights and measures are not to be overlooked,
as they may bear the impress of artificers like the Rudhalls, whose
bells sound over the city of Boston, as over many a town in Old
£ngland.
BULLET TAKEN FROM THE BODY OF GEN. WARREN,
WHO WAS KILLED AT THE BATTLE
OF BUNKER HILL.
B7 Fbedebic W. Pabke, Esq., of Boston.
William Henry Montague, the laat survivor of the five found-
ers of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society, at its month-
ly meeting, March 5, 1884, presented to the Society the historic
relic designated by the title of these explanatory notes. The father
of Mr. Montague who, as affirmed below, brought the bullet from
England, was the Rev. William Montague, an Episcopal clergyman,
who served in the Revolutionary army, was graduated from Dart-
mouth College in 1784, and became rector of Christ Church, Boston,
in 1789. In his later years he was rector of St. Paul's Church,
Dedham, Mass., and died in 1833.
The bullet, however, was not extracted by the Rev. Mr. Mon-
tague from the body of Gen. Warren, but, as he says in the appended
statement, was received by him from " a Mr. Savage." This person,
was Arthur Savage, a loyalist merchant of Boston, who was appointed
in 1755 Comptroller of the Customs at Falmouth, where he was mob-
bed, soon after, in consequence, returning to Boston. His proscrip-
tion and banishment took place by the Act of 1 778 . He had, however,
already left the country, as he embarked in 1776 at Halifax for Eng-
land, where hedied in 1801. (See Reg., vol. 51, p. 473.) The relic
was transferred by Mr. Savage to the keeping of the Rev. Mr. Mon-
tague, at the house of Mr. Harrison Gray, the last provincial treasurer
of Massachusetts, several loyalists being present on the occasion.

NECROLOGY OF THE NEW-ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
Prepared by the Historiographer, Rev. Oeobob M. Adams, D.D., of Aabarndale, Mass.
The sketches of deceased members prepared for the Registeb are of
necessity brief, because the space that can be appropriated is quite limited.
Fuller sketches are printed in the annual " Proceedings " of the Society.
Materials for still more extended memoirs are preserved in the Society's
archives, and will be available for use in preparing the *^ Memorial Biogra-
phies," of which five volumes have been issued and a sixth volume is in
preparation. The income from the Towne Memorial Fund is devoted to
the publication of these volumes.

EEV. CALEB DAVIS BRADLEE, Ph.D., D.D.
By Rey. Alfred Manchestbb, of Salem , Mass.
The name at the head of this article will suggest to many people
the memory of a life that was peculiarly devoid of selfishness. From
beginning to end, it was a life seeking the good of others rather
than its own good. There is great satisfaction, to one who believes
that life itself is of more importance than the things of life, in
watching the development, and learning the lessons, of a character,
trained from the first, and held throughout the period of human re-
lationship, in strict accord with the Golden Rule. We may say,
without fear of contradiction from any one who knew him, that such
was the character of the subject of this sketch. The question, so
often heard in our day, " Is life worth living," would never be asked
if the average life with which we come in contact were in the spirit
of this life with which we have so recently parted.
Caleb Davis Bradlee was bom in Boston, February 24, 1831.
It was on a Thursday, at 6.30 a.m., in a house on Avon Place, now
Avon Street, where a part of the store of Jordan, Marsh & Com-
pany is now located.
His early ancestors spelled their name Bradley. In his preface
to his work on the Bradlee Family, Samuel Bradlee Doggett, Esq.,
says : '* The name was originally spelled Bradley, the change to
Bradlee being made by Samuel Bradlee, who was recorded in the
Dorchester Records as the son of Nathan and Lydia Bradley, born
Oct. 5, 1707, and on the monument erected to his memory, in the
Dorchester burying-ground, as Mr. Samuel Bradlee, died July 7,
1768, aged 62, the y giving place to e. Family tradition has it
that the Bradleys in Dorchester were so numerous that mistakes
were made, to obviate which Samuel Bradlee changed the final let-
to e. The change in spelling applies also to John Bradley, the
brother of Samuel, whose name is recorded on his tombstone as Brad-
VOL. LII. 14
Digitized by VjOOQIC
154 Caleb Davis Bradlee, [April,
lee. The posterity of Samuel Bradlee who are living, and bear
the name at the present day, still retain this mode of spelling it."
Dr. Bradlee's father bore the name Samuel, which is so familiar
in the Bradlee annals. He was a man of sterling integrity, a pro-
minent Boston merchant; the son of Nathaniel Bradlee, one of
the loyal Americans who, disguised as Indians, threw the British tea
into Boston Harbor. It was in the old Bradlee homestead, at the
comer of Tremont and HoUis Streets, that some of the men met to
prepare for the " tea-party." This house is still occupied by a Brad-
lee descendant.
The boy received the name of Caleb Davis in honor of his ma-
ternal great grandfather, the Hon. Caleb Davis, a deacon of Hol-
lis Street Church, the first Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives after the new Constitution had been adopted, and one of the
electors of George Washington as President of the United States.
The mother was the daughter of Jeremiah Williams, Esq., of
Boston. Her name was Elizabeth Davis Williams, and she became
the second wife of Samuel Bradlee, July 31, 1817. Caleb was the
youngest of eight children of this marriage. He was never in ro-
bust health, but he survived all other members of his father's family.
His brother, Nathaniel J. Bradlee, Esq., well known as a prominent
business man in Boston, died suddenly the 17th of December, 1888,
leaving him the sole representative of the family.
From his ealiest years, Mr. Bradlee was deeply interested in the
church and all that it stands for. He was christened in Hollis
Street Church by the Kev. John Pierpont, whom he remembered in
after years as having called on his mother one afternoon when he
was five years old. Of this call he says : " I at that time selected
for him, because he was my minister, the best apple I could find,
and, with great joy and pride, placed it in his hand, whilst hia
smile and approving voice were a sufficient compensation." Later
in life, after his settlement as a clergyman, Mr. Pierpont delighted
him very much by being his guest at supper.
The boy was first sent to the school of a Miss Bacon ; but, when
he was five years of age, he entered the preparatory department of
Chauncy Hall School, and Miss Nancy Healey, afterwards Mrs.
Elisha D. Winslow, was his teacher. His education was continued
in this school for twelve years, with the exception of a few months,
during which he was a pupil of Rev. Richard Pike of Dorchester.
His faithfulness in the performance of his school duties is shown in
the fact that he received three medals firom the Chauncy Hall
School. Two of these medals were lost in a fire at North Can^-
bridge. The other was given to a friend who, many years later,
gave it to Dr. Bradlee's daughter. As a boy he wrote anonymously
for the papers, and, at a very early age, began to write sermons.
In 1848 he entered Harvard University, and, the next year, re-
ceived a detur. Among his classmates were the Hon. Charles

Thomas Bonney of New Bedford, Mass., the Hon. Addison Brown,
Prof. Charles Taylor Canfield, Prof. George L. Gary, Dr. and
Prof. David W.Gheever, the Hon. Joseph H. Ghoate, Prof. E. W.
Gumey, Henry G. Denny, Esq., the Hon. William C. Williamson,
Dr. Samuel H. Hurd, Judge Hurd, and many other well-known men.
He received his degree of A.B. in 1852, and in September of
the same year entered the Cambridge Divinity School, where he
remained a year and a half, and received a highly honorable dis-
missal, placing himself under the care of the Rev. F. D. Hunting-
ton and the Rev. Ruius Ellis, with whom he pursued his studies in
divinity with great earnestness and interest. In due time he was
elected an honorary member of the Cambridge Divinity School.
In 1855 he received the degree of A.M. from Harvard.
About this time he took steps that resulted in the formation of the
Boston Young Men's Christian Union.
His connection with HoUis Street Church at this time, as teacher
of Bible-classes and, later, as Superintendent of the Sunday School,
brought him into close relations with the Rev. Thomas Starr King,
of whom he was a great admirer.
Mr. Bradlee was licensed to preach, by the Boston Association of
Ministers, on the 12th of June, 1854, at a meeting held at the house
of the Rev. George E. Ellis, D.D., in Charlestown, Mass., and from
this time to December 11th of the same year he preached in several
pulpits as transient supply.
He was ordained to the ministry and settled as pastor of the. Al-
len Street Church, North Cambridge, Mass., on the 11th of Decem-
ber, 1854, having been advised to accept this call by Rev. James
Walker, D.D., President of Harvard College, who was his inti-
mate and dearly beloved friend, and who gave the " Charge to the
Minister." Rev. Thomas Starr King preached the sermon.
This pastorate lasted just three years, and it resulted in many
life-long friendships. AH through his life after this he was called,
from time to time, to attend anniversary occasions and to hold spe-
cial services in the homes of the members of this his first parish.
A few words from him about the character of ministerial labor in
those days may be of interest. He says : " At the time of my set-
tlement the whole arrangement of our churches was different from
what it is now. A great deal more work was required of the young
man on Sunday and a great deal more visiting during the week.
Every minister was expected to call at each home at least twice in
the year, and every week in cases of sickness. The minister's house
was the home of the people at all hours of the day and evening ;
and, also, if he were invited, he was expected to be always ready
for dinner or supper or an evening entertainment. I was relieved
from a great deal of this kind of visiting ; but it was all made up to
me by the calls at my house and by the many choice gifts of dainty
food that were constantly sent to my home."

156 Galtb Davis Bradlee. [April,
It was during this pastorate, on June 7, 1855, that he married
Miss Caroline Gay, youngest child of George and Nancy Lovering
Gay, of Boston, and sister of the well-known surgeon. Dr. George
H. Gay. By this marriage he had three children, only one of
whom is now living, Mrs. Eliza Williams Bradlee Smith, who mar-
ried Walter C. Smith, Esq., June 12, 1895.
In 1858, and in 1860, he was elected on the Board of School Com-
mittee of Cambridge, Mass., and in 1860 he was chosen one of the
special Committee of the High School in Cambridge. All through
his life he was opposed to public examinations, asserting that the
man of good memory, but of little real ability, might succeed in
such a test better than his deeper and more able brother who was
naturally diffident.
During the absence of the Rev. Warren H. Cudworth, who served
as Chaplain in the United States Army,* for three years of the Civil
war, ]Mr. Bradlee took charge of the Unitarian Church in East
Boston. These years were full of happy fellowship. Here he
thought the real usefulness of his ministry began. Here he said he
learned how to preach. Those were trying years for everyone, and
especially for one who watched the progress of the war with such
interest as he had in its results. His sermons of this period breathe
a spirit of intense patriotism. His correspondence with Mr. Cud-
worth is of great interest.
Early in 1864 a movement was made to establish a Unitarian
Church at the South End, in Boston. Mr. Bradlee was asked to
be the pastor. It was called "The Church of the Redeemer," and
its services were begun in a hall on Concord Street. Here he had
delightful fellowship with his people and became known over a large
section of the city as one who was willing to serve the public in all
helpful ways. He was constantly called upon to give his services
in the homes of many who never went to his church, or, in many
cases, to any church. He continued to reside at the South End
for about thirty years, first in Chester Park, and then in West
Brookline Street, during which time he became known, in hundreds
of homes, as a kind friend and sympathetic pastor. In the summer,
when most clergymen were away on long vacations, he made a point
of remaining at home to attend to special calls for ministerial
services. He was glad to think that his presence made it possible
both for the clergymen to go away, feeling that no one would be
neglected, and that there would be some one ready to minister to
every need. No one was called more frequently to visit the sick or
to bury the dead, and no man ever had a greater gift for such a
ministry. He was welcomed alike in the homes of the rich and in
the homes of the poor. He never asked to be excused from the
trying service when his health would permit him to perform it. In
the course of his work at the Church of the Redeemer, he developed
great social gifts and became very much interested in children. At

the close of eight years of happy service in this church, it was
thought best, in view of the changes that were going on in that
part of the city, through the removal of many people to the Back
Bay and to other parts of the city, to disband the church. This
wa9 done reluctantly on the part of both pastor and people.
It was during this pastorate that Mr. Bradlee was, for a time,
one of the faculty of the Boston School for the Ministry. In 1868
the department of Pastoral Care and Christian Biography was as-
signed to him, and he did the work of this department until the
School was united with the Divinity School of Harvard University,
This work was very attractive to him, as he was always very fond
of young men, and devoted himself to their welfare with great
earnestness. His lectures in Christian Biography were especially
interesting and valuable, being prepared with a great deal of care ;
and his treatment of the pastoral relation was given with great at-
tention to details of parish work.
It was also at this time that his father died, leaving him ample
means. His friends thought that he would now live in retirement
and devote himself to the pursuit of literary interests that were dear
to him. This he never did, but devoted himself, and all that he
had, to the work of the ministry, glad that, henceforth, he could
serve, without any charge, those who needed his help. He had the
conviction that he was only the steward of what he possessed. A
modest living was all that he ever asked for himself; the remainder
of his income was conscientiously devoted to public and private
charity.
From 1872 to 1875 he was the pastor of the Christian Unity
Society, which was an early experiment in what is now known as
the "Institutional Church."
Among the happiest and most useful years of his life were those
from 1875 to 1890, when he was the pastor of the Harrison Square
Church. This Church was formerly called the *' Third Unitarian
Society in Dorchester." At the time that he became its pastor it
was just the kind of church that he had made up his mind to serve.
It had become weakened and seemed in danger of extinction. But,
under his faithful labors, it rallied and took a new lease of life, and,
at the end of his term of service as its pastor, it had regained its
position. The prosperity of the church was sufficient compensation
to him for all the service that he had rendered. The years that he
might have spent in semi-retirement, busy about personal affairs,
had been spent in behalf of others, and he was satisfied thus to
hare given expression to his self-sacrificing disposition and benevo-
lent spirit.
In 1888 Galesville University, of Galesville, Wis., honored him
^th the degree of D.D., and in 1889 the same University gave
him the degree of Ph.D. Tufts College, at the Commencement of
1891, conferred upon him the degree of D.D.

Having accomplished his purpose in the Harrison Square Church ,
he became interested in a newly formed religious society in Dor-
chester called the "Norfolk Street Church.'* He served diis society
for two years, from June, 1890, to June, 1892, had the pleasure
of seeing it grow under his care, build a place oJF worship, and be-
come able to call a pastor whom it was able to support.
For a little time he rested from pastoral duties, although he con-
tinued to answer calls for special services. He sometimes thought,
as his friends did, that his work as pastor of a church was at an end.
Little did he think that the crowning work of his life still lay be-
fore him ; that the few years of life that remained for him were to
be those in which his worth as a preacher and organizer were to be
most strikingly shown.
In the autumn of 1893 he accepted an invitation to take charge
of Christ's Church, Longwood, Brookline. This church was
built by Mr. David Sears, who had dreams of church unity, and
thought he had devised a ritual in the use of which all Christians
would at once unite. The use of this ritual — or the use of no
other service — was made a condition of the use of the church edi-
fice. The church was a noble structure and beautiinlly situated.
The ritual became a stumbling-block to many, and, after three
short pastorates, the church was closed. It was fifteen years since
services had been held in the church when Dr. Bradlee agreed to
hold services there, at the invitation of some people who lived in
the neighborhood. For a long time the attendance at the services
was very small, but Dr. Bradlee had a conviction that the time
would come when a strong society could be gathered there. It
proved that he was right. After iiie departure of the Rev. M. J.
Savage from Boston, a number of his former parishioners and their
friends came into the church, and, in the autumn of 1896, a strong
society, called the "Second Unitarian Church of Brookline,'* was
organized. Dr. Bradlee built a fine residence in Brookline and
moved into it in May, 1895.
As is former cases, so now. Dr. Bradlee, having accomplished
his purpose, resigned his pastorate. The resignation took effect on
the first of May, 1897. This was on a Saturday. On the preced-
ing Sunday he preached his farewell sermon. His friends were
glad to think that he had given up his formal connection with parish
work and anticipated for him a long and beautiftil twilight after his
day of faithftil labor. On the morning of the first of May, the
very day that his parish work was at end, he arose as usual in the
morning, and, while at the breakfast table, complained of a pain
in the chest. This did not yield to simple home remedies and a
physician was summoned who thought he was suffering from an at-
tack of indigestion, and told him to lie in bed through the day. He
did this, and, about six o'clock, while the family were at dinner,
having left him resting quietly, they were suddenly summoned by
Digitized by VjOOQIC

an attendant who had been left with him, and arrived at his bed-
side just in time to see him peacefully breathe his last. His life
ended with the end of his ministry.
On the following day he was to have been elected Pastor Emeritus
of the church from whose active service he had just withdrawn.
At the meeting called for that purpose it was voted that resolutions
of respect and loving sympathy should be prepared by the Pru-
dential Committee.
One of these resolutions was as follows : — ^^ Resolved: That, in
the purity and nobility of his character and aims, his unaffected
simplicity of manner, his unselfish devotion to active Christian En-
deavor, his abundant charity, his liberality and kindness toward
those who differed from him in belief or practice, and his unstinted,
loyal affection, we recognize virtues which claim our reverence, and
which we may well imitate."
The funeral service was held at the church on the fifth of May,
and was very largely attended. Kev. James DeNormandie con-
ducted the service, and Dr. Edward Everett Hale, his intimate
friend for many years, gave a fitting eulogy. The burial was at
Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Dr. Bradlee published two volumes of sermons, which were well
received. One was called "Sermons for All Sects," and the other
was called '* Sermons for the Church." The manuscript was ready
for another volume to have been published in 1898, to be called
''A Voice from the Pulpit." He also published many single ser-
mons, poems, and various articles for the periodicals.
He belonged to many learned societies, and was especially in-
terested in historical societies. He was a life-long member of the
New-England Historic Genealogical Society, having been its secre-
tary for several years, and having prepared many lectures to be de-
livered before it. He served twenty-eight years on its Board of
Directors.
He took special pride in the "Boston Association of Ministers,"
from which he received his first license to preach, and over which
he presided as moderator for two successive years, which was all
that the by-laws allowed.
He belonged to innumerable charitable organizations, and was a
(iberal contributor to their treasuries. The Home for Aged Couples
appealed to him with special power to move his sympathies and
to draw out his generosity.
He was much interested in libraries, and here, as elsewhere, he
found a field for the exercise of his liberality ; and many hundreds of
volumes were sent by him to newly formed libraries in struggling
communities.
Dr. Bradlee was a good student. His mind was synthetic ra-
ther than analytic. He was impatient of details, and grasped,
intuitively, conclusions that were afterward verified in his experi-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
160 Caleb Davis JBradlee. [April,
ence and in that of others. God, Christ, Duty and Immortality
were divine realities in his thought ; and he had the power to carry
his convictions into the hearts and lives of others. His religion
was love to God and man. His sermons were practical ; thej were
dynamic rather than didactic. ^Manj souls were deeply touched by
his preaching, and readily confessed their personal indebtedness to
him for new hopes and better life that had been inspired by his
spoken word. After the sermon always came the warm grasp of
the hand and some word fitted to make a lasting impression.
Philosophical studies were attractive to him. He was possessed
of ftill and accurate classical knowledge, and wrote French and Ita-
lian with some fluency.
In his reading he inclined specially to Biography and to the ser-
mons of the masters in the pulpit, both ancient and modem. He
cared less than some do for. strictly scientific studies, and yet was
well informed as to the trend of modem thought. He read, to
some extent, in the line of the Higher Criticism, but cared little
for the details of that science, being con%dnced of the reality of the
great life revealed in the Old and New Testament, finding the con-
summation of the revelation in Jesus Christ.
He held tenaciously to certain views in theology which seeemed
to him essential ; but did not withhold his hand of fellowship firom
any who held views that differed from his own. He held personal
friendship and human sympathy with all who came in contact with
him. To one who differed very widely from him in regard to a
certain matter, he wrote : " Let it be clearly understood, at once,
and forever, that between you and me personally there can be noth-
ing but the most cordial fellowship."
On the fortieth anniversary of his ordination he prepared a paper,
" Recollections of a Ministry of Forty Years," which he read be-
fore the Boston Association of Ministers. In it he said : ** I honor
my brethren of to-day. I may not think as they think, I may not
isee as they see, I may not work as they work, I may be too tied to
the past, I may be too bound to ceremony, I may like more than
they do confessions and prostrations and forms ; but I bow before
them in reverence for their manliness, for their love of human na-
ture, for their steady adherence to principle, for the study of the
religions of all the ages of the world, for their cordial acknowledg-
ment of the good in all religions, for their philanthropy, for their
devotion to righteous living, and for all about them that is strik-
ingly sound and really glorious."
He assumed no clerical dress, but was at once recognized by all
who met him as a minister of religion. Denominational barriers
fell at his approach, and many, on a short acquaintance, learned to
regard him as one in whom they could find sympathy with their
highest aspirations and a power of help in their deepest need.
His health was too precarious to allow of his going about as free-

Ij 08 he would like to hare done. His home was the centre of his
life, and here he sustained most tender relations with those nearest
and dearest to him, and dispensed a hospitality that was remarkably
free and generous.
He was especially fond of welcoming his brother ministers to his
home, and made a regular practice of entertaining several of the
larger associations of them at frequent intervals.
This was only one form of a boundless charity, in the exercise of
which he delighted. In the course of the last thirty years of his
life he gave away many thousands of dollars, always paying heed to
the scriptural injunction not to let his left hand know what his right
hand did. While he made a note of the amounts of his various
gifts, in case he should ever wish to refer to it, he never reckoned
the sum of them and said he did not wish to know what it was.
His tastes and habits of life were v^ry simple. He wanted his
friends to have all that they wanted, but for himself he wished little.
His life is a splendid illustration of altruism.
Hospitality was one of his most prominent traits of character.
" The latch string is always out," was one of his favorite sayings.
There were some of his younger ministerial brethren to whom his
house was opened with great freedom. There was a "prophet's
chamber " to which they were always welcome, and a seat at table
always awaited them. Whenever he went on a journey there was a
"Bradlee Party"; beside his immediate family, others were invited,
and thus many have paid an unexpected visit to various delightful
spots.
His interest in young men, and especially in young ministers, was
unbounded ; and it was deepened in proportion to their need of sym-
pathy or assistance.
Children loved him and were loved by him. Shy little ones soon
learned to trust him, and sat on his knee listening to his droll stories
and imitations. He had something of the ventriloquist's art, and
amused the little ones by making their dolls talk, thus winning their
confidence and gaining their lasting friendship.
He was full of charity for the wrong doer, always distinguishing
between the sin and the sinner. He regarded his own conduct with
respect to the strictest law of rectitude. He was, if anything,
over-conscientious. He was willing to give others more than their
due, but sometimes would not receive for himself what others con-
sidered his just dues.
He was an early riser, being found at his desk regularly, for many
years, at four o'clock in the morning. He liked to work when all
was still around him, and those early morning hours were filled with
labor. His correspondence with libraries and societies, as well as
with individuals, was large and carefully attended to. He was ex-
ceedingly prompt as a correspondent, as he was in all his business
relations. He had a perfect abhorrence of debt, and, if he could

have had his way, would never have gone to bed a single night in
debt to any one.
He was a wise counsellor in financial matters, and in many ways
disclosed the possession of faculties the exercise of which would have
made him a successAil business man. This ability he inherited from
a line of ancestry full of sagacity and integrity.
By his will he gave much of his property directly to charitable and
educational institutions, and provided thsUi, eventually, nearly all of
it shall be so disposed of.
The following resolutions, selected from those passed at a meeting
of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society, give a good
summary of his character : —
^^Eesdved^ That we honor the memory of Dr. Bradlee for the noble
work he did as a minister of the gospel, his chosen profession, into which
he entered with earnestness and zeal, laboring to promote the religious and
moral welfare of his parishioners in the several parishes over which during
his life he was pastor, some of which he built up from feeble congregations
to self-supporting churches.
^' jResohedj That by his writings, and particularly by the two volumes of
sermons which he published, he won for himself a place among the authors
of New England.
'' jRetolved, That we would express our gratitude for his liberal bequest
to our fundsi which will greatly aid us in carrying on the work in which we
are engaged."
^^ Cordially," so he signed his letters. It was more than a con-
ventional term to him. It is the expression of his character. So
he lived and so he labored ; in his family and in the world ; to the
glory of God, in the name of his Master, for the good of all.

8. Capt John* Alden (John^). Born in Plymouth, 1625 or *26. He
was one year old or more May 22, 1627, at the Division of Cattle, as
shown by the Plymouth Colony Records. He died in Boston March 14,
1701-2. He married 1st, before 1659, Elizabeth ?, for on Boston
records is the birth of a daughter Mary, bom Dec. 17, 1659. The mother
died soon after, and he married, April Ist, 1660, Elisabeth (Phillips) Ev-
erill, widow of Abiel, and daughter of William Phillips of Boston and
Saco. For further information about William Phillips, see a very inter-
esting and valuable article in the Bangor Btstarical Magazine, by Joseph
W. Porter, on Capt. John Alden. I shall quote from this largely. Eliz-
abeth, his second wife, died February, 1695-6, and was buri^ Feb. 7th,
for Sewall, in his Diary of that date, says: " Mrs. Alden is buried. Bear-
ers were Mr. Cheever, Capt Hill, Capt. Williams, Mr. Walley, Mr. Bal*

lentine." Capt John Alden went to live with his daughter, Elizabeth
Walley, after his wife's death. His death is spoken of by Sewali. Where
was he buried ? In the Boston Transcript, April 80, 1870, is the follow-
ing: '^Mr. Samuel Jennison, the owner of property on and about Carl-
ton Place, has recently, on account of widening of Eliot street, begun
operations for the purpose of building there a new block. As the excava-
tions have been going on some relics of the past have been dug up, includ-
ing a lot of bones, and quite a number of gravestones, some of them nearly
whole. These are small slate stone tablets, such as may be seen in the
King's Chapel, Granary, and other ancient burying grounds in the vicinity,
and most of them have the old-fashioned death's head cut over their in-
scriptions. Some of the inscriptions are * * * ^ Here lyeth the body
of John Alden, Senior, aged 75 years. Deceased March 14-1701-2.'''
Mr. John £. Alden of Newton, Mass., has been aiding me very largely in
my investigations. He writes in 1897: "I saw the gravestone in Mr.
Jennison's office at the time it was found. * * * This Carlton Place
was evidently obliterated by the widening of Eliot Street; it does not exist
DOW. The spot where the stones were found is on the south side of Eliot
Street, between Washington and Tremont Streets. Mr. Horace Weston,
now deceased, told Mr. Jennison that he knew of these gravestones being
there ; that they lay in a confused heap on the surface of the ground, and
were afterwards covered by an addition without cellar to the rear of the
building, and had evidently been carted there when cutting off the lines of
some cemetery, very likely from the Central Burying Grouuj) at the time
Frog Lane was changed to Boylston Street. Mr. Jennison gave the stone
to Dr. Ebenezer Alden of Randolph, and he afterwards presented it to the
Old South Church Society. It is now set in the wall in the vestibule of
the new Old South Church, as a memorial stone." John Alden was one
of the organizers of the Old South Church in 1669. We know very little
of bis life before he came to Boston. He was on a list of those able to
bear arms in 1643. Freeman, 1648. He was a mariner. In 1655-6 we
find his name on a list of residents and freeholders in Newtown, Long
Island. He went to Boston in 1659, but in 1660 is in Saco with his father
in law. After 1682-3 his life was spent on the oc^an. Mr. Porter says:
*^ For nearly thirty years he was commander of what navy the Province of
Massachusetts Bay had, and its trusted agent. He supplied the forts of
Maine with provisions and other necessary supplies. He made, and as-
sisted in making, several treaties with the Eastern Indians, and it seems was
trusted by them as no other man in the Province of Maine was at that
time." For further particulars I refer the reader to Mr. Porter's article.
Two of his sons, John Jr. and Nathaniel, were mariners also, and tradi-
tion has it that his younger brother, Zachariah, and his nephew Henry, son
of David, were with him often on his voyages. In August or September,
1691, Capt. Alden was sent to convey Col. Edward Tyng to Annapolis,
H. S-y in the Province sloop, and was taken prisoner with his vessel at St.
John. Sewell says: << Boston, Oct. 19, 1691. 'This day comes news of
Captain Alden's being taken [prisoner] by a French Frigate at St. Johns.
Mr. Nelson carried to Quebec, Col. Tyng and Mr. John Alden Jr. kept
prisoners till Articles made for Capt. John Alden's coming here be fnl-
filled.'" "March 23, 1692. 'Capt. Alden sails for redemption of cap-
tives, and fetching home Col. Tyng and Mr. Alden, the son.' " This cap-
tivity was certainly not six months in duration. I would like to know who
these other captives were. On returning from this voyage he was arrested
Digitized by VjOOQIC
164 Alden Genealogy. [April,
for witchcraft, and confined in Boston jail. " It is said that the stout old
mariner used some emphatic *6ea language' on the occasion. He de-
nounced the witches as a set of wenches playing off their juggling tricks.
He declares he never saw his accusers before, nor they him. His indigna-
tion was refreshing, but public opinion was then with the witches, his
sword was taken from him, and he was imprisoned in Boston jail. He left
a written account* of this trial, in which he says ' he was carried to Boston
jail and remained there fifteen weeks, when he was prevailed upon to make
his escape. He went to Duxbury, where be arrived in the middle of the
night, telling his relatives that he ' was flying from the devil, and the devil
was after him.* After a while, the delusion having abated, he returned to
Boston, delivered himself up to the authorities, and was bound over to the
Superior Court at Boston, the last Tuesday in April, 1693. No one then
appearing to prosecute him, he, with others, were discharged by Proclama-
tion. It is said that whenever the witchcraft delusion was alluded to he
' never acquired a calm state of mind.* It was not easy for him to forget
or forgive the part the church and some of his friends took in the matter,
and considerable effort was made to reconcile him.*' Immediately after his
arrest, a prayer meeting was held in his own house, assuming that he was
guilty. Judge Sewall tells of this, and again says under date Dec. 22,
1692: "Mrs. Willard talked to me very sharply about Capt. John Alden's
not being at the Lord's Supper last Sabbath Day.** In 1688, in company
with Col. John Phillips and Major James Converse, he concluded an im-
portant treaty with the Eastern Indians. His will was proved 13 April,
1702:

A petition by Edward Tyng, Temple Nelson, and Nathaniel Alden,
praying for a grant of a Tract of Provence Land for themselves, and the
other heirs of their Respective Fathers in a long captivity in France, being
in the service of the Province when taken." • * * In answer to this
petition '* ordered that twelve hundred acres of the unappropriated Lands
of the Province lying West of Salem, Canada* Town, be and hereby are
granted to the petitioners, the heirs and legal representatives of the within
named Edward Tyng, Esq., John Nelson, Esq., and Capt. John Alden,
dec'd," &c.
We find later, Feb. 3, 1764. General Court Orders, 1763-5, page 188.—
** Hon. Thos. Hutchinson, Esq., Lieut. Gov. — A petition of John Jones,
Esq., of Hopkinton, in behalf of himself and other heirs of Capt John
Alden, dec'd, setting forth, That the General Court did on the 9th of June
1736, in consideration of the services of the said John Alden, grant to his
heirs four hundred acres of the unappropriated lands of the Province, who
did accordingly survey 400 acres of Land, lying on the Branches of the
Souhegan River, the Plat whereof was returned and accepted. Since which
the said land, by the late running of the line is fallen into the Grovernment
of New Hampshire, by which means they must lose the benefit of their
grant, and the charges they have been at, without the aid of this Court and
Praying Relief."
This relief was granted by a new 400 acres being granted in the region
near Pittsfield. Later John Jones died, and his son settled the estate, sell-
ing the land and going to great trouble to find all the heirs of Capt John
Alden. Mary Gale makes oath in 1786 to the descendants, she, herself
being one. 8he says : Capt. John' Alden left ^"7% children — John Jr.,

William, Nathaniel, Zachariah and Elizabeth. John' Alden Jr. left John,
Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Hannah and Anna. William left three daughters,
Elizabeth, Lydia and Mary. Nathaniel left Mary and Elizabeth. Zacha-
riah left Mary and Elizabeth. Elizabeth married a Willard and had seven
children, and all are dead but the Bridgams, who are grandchildren. We
see that in 1786 there was not a descendant of Capt. John Alden in the
name. John Alden, grandson of Capt. John, left one heir — Anna, wife
of Samuel Burrill. Nathaniel left only Hannah, wife of Michael Homer,
and Elizabeth, wife of Anthony Jones. Mr. C. H. Wight* of New York,
aided by Mrs. Lucy H. Greenlaw of Cambridge, have sifted this to the
bottom and have copies of all the deeds, receipts, &c., of this long and
tedious affair. It shows conclusively that all pedigrees in the Alden name,
running to Capt John Alden, are false.

LETTERS OF JONATHAN BOUCHER TO GEORGE
WASHINGTON.
Contributed by Wobthixoton Chauncbt Fo&d, Esq., of Washington, D. C.
[Continued from page 63.]
St. Mart's, 2 August, 1768.
Sir,
I do not recollect that Mast'. Custis has had any Return of y® Pain in
his stomach, which I told you I suspected to be occasioned by worms : but
as it is but too probable that Ho may have a little of the ague <& Fever in
This or y" next month, this complaint, it is not unlikely, may return ; and
if it does, in any considerable Degree, D^ Mercer shall be consulted.
Mast^ Custis is a Boy of so exceedingly mild & meek a Temper, that I
meant no more by my Fears, than a Doubt that possibly He might be
made uneasy by y*^ rougher manners of some of his schoolfellows. I am
pleased, however, to find that He seems to be perfectly easy & happy in his
new situation ; and as the first shock is now over, I doubt not but He will
continue so. You know how much the quest", has been agitated between
y' advantages of a private & a public £duca°.: & this young G — man has
afforded me occasion to reilect upon it rather more than I had done before.
His Educa°. hitherto may be call'd a private one; & to This, perhaps chief-
ly, He owes that peculiar Innocence & sanctity of manners w**. are so amia-
ble in Him : but then, is He not, think you, more artless, more unskill'd in
a necessary address, than He ought to be. ere He is turn'd out into a world
like this? In a private Seminary, his Passions cou'd be seldom arouzed:
He had few or no Competitors; and therefore cou'd not so advantageously,
as in a more public Place, be inured to combat those little oppositions &
collisions of Interest, w^. resemble in miniature the contests y* happen in
y^ gr^ school of j^ world. And let our Circumstances in y" world be what
They will, yet, considering the thousand unavoidable Troubles that human
nature is Heir to. This is a Part of Educa", tho seldom attended to, w^ I
think of more Importance than almost all y® Rest. When children are
taught betimes to bear misfortunes & cross accidents w'^ becom*. Forti-
tude, one half of y* Evils of Life, w"* w**. others are dejected, afflict not
Them. Educa" is too generally considered merely as y® acquis", of knowl-
edge, & y* cultiva". of y* intellectual Powers. And, agreeably to this no-
tion, w°. we speak of a man well-educated, we seldom mean more than that
He has been well instructed iu those Languages w^. are y® avenues to
knowledge. But, surely. This is but a partial & imperfect ace', of it: & y®
aim of Educa". sh^ be not only to form wise but good men, not only to cul-
tivate y® understanding, but to expand y® Heart, to meliorate y® Temper, &
fix y® generous Purpose in y® glowing Breast But whether This can best
be done in a private or public school, is a Point, on w^. so much may be
said on both sides, that I confess myself still undetermined. Y' son came
to me teeming w^. all y® softer virtues : but then I thought, possessed as
He was of all y® Harmlessness of y® Dove, He still wanted some of y® wis-
dom of y* Serpent. And This, by y® (Economy of my Family, He will

undoabtedlj sooner acquire here than at Home. Bot, how will you forgive
me sh^. I suffer Him to lose in Gentleness, Simplicity, & Inoffensiveness,
as much as He gains in Address, Prudence, & Reso1«°? And I must as-
sure you f™. Experience, that This is a Dilemma by no means so easily
avoided in Practice, as it may seem to be in Theory. Upon the whole ^
however, I can honestly give it as my Opinion (and, ae it must give you
& Mrs. Washington much Comfort & Pleasure to hear it, I hope you will
not suspect y\ I c'd be so mean as to say so, if I did not think so,) that I
have not seen a Youth that I think promises Fairer to be a good & a a8e«-
ful man than John Curtis. 'Tis true. He is far f™. being a brilliant Genius^
but This so far from being considered as a Reflexion upon Him, ought rather
to give you Pleasure. Parents are generally partial to gr*. Vivacity &
Sprightliness of Genius in th'. children ; whereas, I think, that there can-
not be a symptom less expressive of future Judgment & solidity; as it
seems thoroughly to preclude not only Depth of Penetration, but y* atten^.
& applica^ w^ are so essentially requisite in y^ acquisi". of knowledge. It
is, if I may use y® simile of a Poet, a busy Bee, whose whole Time passes
away in mere Flight f™ Flower to Flower, with* rest* upoa any a suff*.
Time to gather Honey.
He will himself inform you of y* accident He lately met with ; and a»
He seems to be very apprehensive of y^ Displeasure, c^. I suppose it ne-
cessary, I w^. urge you & his mamma to spare Rebukes, a» much as he
certainly deserves Them. Mrs. Washington may believe me that He ia
now perfectly well. He seem'd to xpect me to employ a Doct^ but as He
met w^. y® accident by his own Indiscre", & as I saw there was no Dan-
ger, I thought it not amiss not to indulge Him. The calling in a PhysiciaD
upon any trifling Occasion, I think, is too likely to render Children need-
lessly timorous & cowardly.
I did net misunderstand y^ meaning of y^ Request, in y" matter wherein
you suspect I possibly might ; being persuaded that you know as well as I
do, that such particular Attention is not only unnecessary, but impractica-
ble. He will probably inherit a much more considerable Fortune, than
any other Boy here; and I thought it by no means an improper or anrcasou-
able Request that a p'^ticular attend sh^ be bestowed on a youth of hia £x-
pecta"". But as any Partiality to Him on y® trifling Circumstances of hia
Diet or other accommoda°^. w^. be rather disserviceable to Him than other-
wise, I have taught Him not to expect it. The only p'^ticular atten°. you
c''. wish for, I also think Him entitled to; & that is, a more vigilant atten^.
to y® Proprietv & Decorum of his Behav', & y" restrain^ Him f™ many-
Indulgences, w . I sh^. willingly allow p'haps to ano^. Boy, whose Prospects
in Life do not require such exalted sentim^. Y® allowing Him more fre-
quently to sit in my Company, & being more careful out of y^ Company of
Those, who might probably debase or taint his morals. Had I my choice,
believe me, it w*^. be more agreeable to me to superintend y^ Educa'^. of
two or three promis^ Lads, than to lead a Life of y® most voluptuous In-
dolence: but the Truth is, oblig'd as I was to engage in it by necessity &
not by choice, I have often found myself so ill-requited, & y® oflSce itself
considered as so low, & so often taken up by y^ very lowest Fellows one
knows of, that, after hav^ laboured in it for upwards of seven years, with^
hav^ added much either to my Fortune or Reputa*^, I am almost resolved
to drop it entirely. Yet whilst it contmues to be agreeable to you to let
Mast^ Custis remain with me, it will be a Pleasure to me to have y® man-
agem^ of Him: nor can I indeed come to any decisive Resolu^. as to y^

Boucher to Washington,
Caroline, 5 September, 1768.
Dear Sir,
I was much concern'd for Mast' Custis's Indisposition, w^ yet I foresaw,
& sh*' have told yon so, as I did Him, had I not been unwell at y® Time
He left us. He is fond of Fruit, & w^ is worse for Him, He is fond of
cucumbers ; & to These, I doubt not, in a g^ measure, He owes his bilious
complaints. A better air, & stricter attention, I trust, will soon restore
Him to his former Health.
I did intend to have dismiss'd my Boys a week ago ; but th' Parents Sb
Friends hav> neglected to send for Them, many of Them have had, & still
have this vile Disorder. And as both my Sister & Usher are also down in
it, I see no chance I have of quitting y^ Place during y® sickly season, w^
was my chief aim. Thank God, the Fevers are not very obstinate this
year, & easily give way to Vomits and Bark.
Unless you hear from me again, I shall be glad to see Jack here ag°
ab' y^ latter End of this month, if his Health will then permit Him : <Sc I
hardly expect He will be in a Capacity to leave Home much sooner.
Then, I hope, he may come without Danger. Mr. Addison is expected
here every Day, who will probably either come or return your Way.

Dear Sir,
I have been much concern'd that it has not been in my Power to spend
a few Days at Mount Vernon, as I hop'd I should. A very painful Dis-
order I labour'd under when Mast' Custis left me, confin'd me to my Bed
a Fortnight; and now it is too late to set out, when I expect all my little
Flock to return immediately, as some of Them already are. You will
please therefore to let Mast' Custis know, that it will be to no Purpose for
him now to wait for me; as we proposed when we parted ; & that I shall
expect to see Him at St. Mary's, as soon as ever a good Day or two may
tempt Him to set out.

Mount Vernon, 24 April, 1769.
Your favor of the 17th came to my hands this day; the contents of
which, or the Letter itself shall soon reach Mr. Addison's hands. In
respect to the Dancing Gentry, I am glad to find you have such a choice of
them, and that Newman has got the start of his rival Spooner, because I
have heard him well spoken of as a teacher in that science. The other's
misfortune might recommend him to the notice and charity of the well dis-
posed, but if his accomplishments in that way are inferior to the other's, it
ought by no means to entitle him to the preference. You will be so good,
therefore, sir, to enter Master Custis with Mr. Newman for a year or other-
wise as he may form his school. Mrs. Washington I can venture to
assure you, will be very glad to see you at Mount Yernon in the recess of
Whitsun Hollidays, but it is a pleasure I must be deprived of, as I expect
to be in Williamsburg before, and long after that time.

Sir,
In consequence of your L^ Mast^ Custis now waits on you ; & as this is a
pretty busy Time with us in school, I shall be glad He may set off back
again at y^ same Time you do for the springs.
Enclosed you have his ace* for y® last year, which as you were so oblig-

now to send by Jack.f I hope it will not appear too high to you ; it being

y® same manner he does. For my own Part, I must own to you, I charge
his Horses merely by Guess, hav^ never very nearly attended to y* Ex-

think it too low : you, probably may have had occasion to consider y® mat-
ter, therefore I beg leave to refer it entirely to y'self. I have yet to men-

therefore you object to It in Time, you must expect next year to find your
son charged so too.
I have a Pleasure in informing you that I please myself w'** think* we
now do much better than formerly : You will rem' my hav* compIain*d of
Jack's Laziness, which, however, I now hope is not incurable. For I find
He will bear driving, which heretofore I us'd to fear He would not. He
has met w^^ more Rig' since I saw you, than in all y® Time before, & he is
the better for it. This I mean only as to his Books ; in other matters. He
is faultless. His new Boy too is infinitely fitter for Him than Julius ; & if
He be not spoil'd here, which, in Truth, there is some Danger of, you &
He & I too will all have cause to be pleas'd at his having made y® Ex-
change.

convinced that she cannot, consistent with associa" Principles, she is con-

King's College, New York, 22 March, 1770.
My dear Sir,
I hold myself much obliged to you for good will, as well as good
offices, towards this college, as instanced in your Conduct respecting Mr.
Custis; and I am under still weightier obligation, when I consider your
very friendly suspension of Belief, with Regard to some Reports, which you
tell me have been circulated in your Parts to our prejudice. I am con-
scious that we have Enemies in abundance — that every Dissenter of high
principles, upon the Continent, is our Enemy — that many of their mission-
aries, from the northern into the southern provinces, make it their Busi-
ness, nay, have it in Charge from their masters, to decry this Institution by
all possible means; becatue they are convinced, from its very Constitution —
being in the Hands only of Churchmen ; — which is very far indeed from be-
ing the Case of any other college to y^ northward of Virginia, — and I know
of none to the southward of it — they are convinced that it must eventually
prove one of the finest supports to y® Church of England in America.

174 Letters of Jonathan Bottcher. [AprQ,
Hence there arose an opposition coeral with j^ College itself— or rather,
with the very first Mention of an Institntion so circamstanced ; which hath
been continned, without Interrnption, to this Tory Day, with much Resent-
ment, Inveteracy, and Malice. The College of New Jersey — ^and those of
New England — were already in their own sole Directions, and yet they
could not be satisfied that y" poor Church should have any Influence in one:
not that Dissenters of any Denomination are excluded from either Learn-
ing or Teaching ; nay, we have educated many, and have several at this
very Time, who do Honor both to us and to themselves.
However, oweing to the very Opposition, or to our own Care Ss Circum-
spection,— which may, perhaps, have arisen from the former, — our Num-
bers yearly increase, and our present apartments overflow. It would ill
become any one, to boast of the advantages enjoy'd by a Seminary over
which he himself presides : but I will venture to affirm, that, with Respect
to Discipline (which, it seems, is one heavy accusation exhibited against us)
we are far from being outdone by any College on the American (>>ntinent :
and I know of none in Europe, to which, in this article, we are really infe-
rior. Add to this, that the Expence — ^however such Things may be mag-
nified by our adversaries, is not half so much as at any of the latter ; and,
I believe very little, if at all, more, than at tnott of the foroier. Our
Tuition is only five pounds— one DoF passing for 8 shillings — New York
currency : Room rent four ; and Board, including Breakfast, Dinner and
Supper, at y® Rate of eleven shillings a week, for y" Time each student is
actually in College. These (saving Firewood, Candles & Washing, which
must be had everywhere,) are the principle Expences, indeed almost the
only ones, of the truly collegiate kind. Others, indeed, may run higher —
as in Dress, and sometimes in Company, than they do at Colleges in the
Country ; tho' even these will not be materially different to a student of
real Gentility : For such a one will chuse to appear handsomely-habited
in all situations ; and when he does go into Company, he will chuse the best
for his' associates.
With Regard to our plan of Education, it is copied, in the most material
Parts, from Queen's College in Oxford ; with the wh[o]e] system of which,
(having been for many years both Learner and Teacher in that seminary,
with the character of which you are by no means unacquainted,) I looked
u|>on myself as perfectly familiar.
The young Gentleman's Guardian may rely on everything in my Power
for his Ward's Emolument : but as to my turning Private Tulor as it were
— it seems to me so inconsistent with my office (whatever others in my sit-
uation may think of it) that I must beg to be excused. But I repeat — That
I will shew Mr. Custis every mark of care & attention, and see that his other
Teachers shall do the same.
I have only to add, that I vnsk he may be here in June, — as we do not
admit pupils when absent — that I beg my best Respects to CoP. Washing-
ton, whom I shall be exceedingly happy to wait upon in New York (your-
self, I hope, in Company)— and that I am, D' S' y Aff^ Friend
and very obed* servant, &c.
M. Cooper.
I hope yon will have patience with me — at present I sufier much by a

Dear Sir,
I felt so fitronglj the Truth of your Remarks, that I took shame to my-
^f for having reduc'd you to so distressing a Dilemma. Believe it, how-
ever, sir, that it was Necessity, & not Inclination, that urged me to the
step, which yet I sh'd hardly have taken, at last, cou*d I have supposed the
circumstances of Mast*^ Custis's Est* to have been as you represent Them.
I have now the Pleasure to inform you, that I trust my present Difficul-
ty will be surmounted, with^ laying my Friends utider a contribution. I
am almost sure it will, if Mr. Claiborne will only be punctual in paying
his £50, which I was Security for. A Debt, of long standing, & which I
had almost despair'd of, fortunately for me, has just been paid : db This, with
some collections I have made from the Est* of a deceased Friend, on
%v^ I administered, have enabled me to make up my Sum of £230. this
last, indeed, was an Expedient I very unwillingly had Recourse to; but I
DOW learn by Experience, that real Distress is very effectual in teaching
a man to get the Better of cert" delicate Qualms of conscience — & let
Tills teach me to view, w*^ candor, the Peccadillos of others in similar cir-
cumstances. I purpose replacing This with what I am to receive of you on
Mast' Custis's acc^, &, therefore, if not highly inconvenient to you, wou'd
this year prefer a Bill to Cash, and shou'd I again be obliged to call on
you before it is due, as I hope I shall not, I flatter myself with being again
excused.
Might not your proposed Improvemen** of y® Naviga" of tlw Potomac to
the W:ward be accomplished on some such Plan as This ? — I mean by ob-
tain' an Act of Assembly, empowering cert*^ Commissioners therein named,
to borrow the Sum supposed to be wanted at a high Interest (suppose 10
p' cent) <& this Interest to be rais*d f™ a Tax proportioned thereto, on all
y* vessels raak« Use of s** Naviga"? Or, if y® Naviga" w^ bear it, ji^ tho'
p'haps it might not at first, yet, undoubtedly it soon would, might not this
Tax be rated so, as to produce a considerable Surplus, enough not only to sink
the original Loan, but to raise a Fund for still farther Improvem**. Are
not some of the canals in Engl^, & y® Turnpikes on this System? <&, if I
mistake not, the very grand canal now carrying on in Scotland is so too. —
You doubtless have heard long ago w^ was done on this matter by the
Maryland Assembly; but, as I fear, f°* y' aoc* of Things, our Assembly
w^ not easily be persuaded to advance any cash towards the scheme, tho' I
can have no immediate Interest iu it, I s^ be grieved so beneficial a Pro-
ject slKMi'd be dropp'd.
I guess my Friend Mr Addison met with some Difficulties in y® Bar-
gain he profmised] to make for me, as I have never heard from Him, nor
about the Boy.
Custis who, as well as myself, is but just returned from a Trip I took
Him into Richmond County, is gone to write to his Mamma, to whom, <&
to Miss Custis, with many thanks for the' obliging Helps to my Garden, I
beg my affectionate compliments. I am &c.
Boucher to Washington,
Caroline, 9 May, 1770-
Sir,
There are some particular Circumstances in my affairs, at this Juncture,
which make me desirous to know your & Mrs. Washington's final liesolu-

tion respecting Mr. Custis's visit to Europe. Should you think it advisa-
ble for Him to go, & I be thought a proper person to accompany Him, I
still am willing to do it, & on Terras which, I can hardly think, you will
judge unreasonable. — I do not mean to take upon me to advise you in the
matter ; yet, I cannot help giving it you as my opinion, that, from what I know
of Him, Travelling will be of peculiar Service to Him. And, as he is now
advancing fast to that period of Life, much the most hazardous, this Ex-
pedient, if ever adopted at all, should be resolved on early, and put in
Execution, at least, in two years from this Time. The Expecta" of it will
engage his Attention, & divert Him from what I think a very wrong
System, tho' a very common one, with the Youth of Virginia; it is to be
hoped too, that it will stimulate Him to pursue his Studies with greater
Earnestness, when he recollects how often He must be put to the Blush,
if he appears illiterate amongst Men of Letters, into whose Company, in
Travelling, He will often fall.
Surely, it will not be thought that I can possibly have any interested
views in this matter. It is true, indeed, I wish to revisit my native Coun-
try; and I have too a strong inclina" to see the diff* parts of the world.
In point of Prudence, however, I believe it were better for me to remain
contented as I am; I consider it in this Light, that I am unconnected in
the world, with no very violent Passion, but that of increasing my slender
stock of knowledge, which I persuade myself I shall most effectually
accomplish by a Tour thro* those Countries where Arts & Sciences have
been most successfully cultivated. These, believe me, are all the interested
motives I feel the Influence of ; & if I have either heretofore or now, re-
commended it to Mr. Custis to travel, it was from a full conviction how
necessary & how useful it w^ be to Him. I have many Reasons for
this opinion, some of which, I believe, are not unknown to you.
Happening, at present, to be a good deal hurried, I have only Time to
add, that I wou*d by no means have mentioned this matter to you now, had
not my 3wn affairs required it; & that I can never consent to his leaving
Virg*, unless He is first innoculated, which therefore should be resolved ou
as soon as ever you can be advis*d of a good opportunity.
I beg my respectful Comp^ to Mrs. Washington & Miss Custis, & am,
very truly &c.
P.S. I have shown Jack what I have wrote, and desir'd Him to think
of the Project calmly & coolly, <& then sit down, & write you fully hia
own sentiments on the Subject.*

CAPOWACK.
IS IT THE CORRECT INDIAN NAME OF MARTHA'S VINE-
YARD?
Bj Surgeon Charles £. Banks, U.S.MJI.S.
In an article printed in the Kegister (vol. 48, p. 201), I pre-
sented the question as to the "proper nomenclature of the Vine-
yard," and cited a long list of authorities, printed and in manuscript^
• Washington's answer to this letter is printed in my Writings of WMhintfton^ II. »

in which the name of " Martin's " Vineyard was used during the sev-
enteenth century almost to the exclusion of " Martha's " Vineyard,
or, as stated by Thomas Mayhew, Jr., in a letter dated October 22,
1652, **this Island commonly called Martin's Vineyard." Since
the publication of that article I have had opportunity to examine
personally the first volume of Deeds covering the period 1642-1692,
in the Dukes County Registry, and have carefully gone through it
page by page to note the use of the words " Martin's " and " Mar-
tha's." The result disclosed the use of both names in about equal
frequency, and I noted that the first clerk who wrote the title to the
volume, recognizing the peculiar situation, has engrossed, on page
237, the following : ** Record of the Landes uppon Martins or Mar-
thas Vineyard & Dependances," showing that when this book was
opened for entry (probably about 1670), the question of the proper
nomenclature of the Vineyard had not then been settled.
The object of this paper, however, is to examine the standing of
the Indian word " Capowack " as the aboriginal title of the Vine-
yard. It is not my purpose to discuss the etymology of the word,
irom an Algonquin standpoint, for I have no knowledge of that
tongue.
I asked William Wallace Tooker, Esq., of Sag Harbor, Long
Island, who is a recognized authority on this language, having made
a special study of this subject in its relation to the aboriginal place-
names of Southern New England, to define the word for me, and he
kindly undertook the examination of its dialectic origin. In his
opinion, as stated to me in a letter, dated November 7, 1897, its
definition is ^* the shut-in place," and in a subsequent letter hQ states
that the late Hon. J. Hammond Trumbull, LL.D., translated it the
same. This is a perfect description of the almost land-locked body
of water known to-day as Capoag Bay (or in the corrupted form
Capoge) , and hence cannot be a word describing an island.
It is true that the early writers who published descriptions of New
England from the time of the first explorations. Smith, Winslow,
Wood, Gorges and others, call it the Isle of Capowack (in varia-
tions of spelling), and I am familiar with the authorities of that
period so far as to admit that this name was generally used to des-
ignate the Vineyard. This name had the advantage of undisputed
usage (up to the time which I shall cite hereafter) , and therefore is
entitled to all the privilege which exclusive occupancy of the field
may bestow.
An examination of the Coast Survey charts and current maps of
Martha's Vineyard will show off its Eastern shore and closely con-
tiguous, a curiously shaped island, with a long sickle shaped neck
of land extending therefrom, now called the Island of Chappaquid-
dick, while the extreme North end of this pointed neck is known as
Cape Poge. The evolution of the name Cape Poge is easy of
demonstration. The name was originally, as I believe, Capoag or
Digitized by VjOOQIC
178 Oapowack* [April,
Capoak, and by giving each vowel its syllabic value in pronuncia-
tion, we have Ca-po-ag, or Carpo-ak, which was, probably, an In-
dian name of a definite locality ; and the early voyagers hearing this
pronounced, and noting the phonetic resemblance of the first syl-
lable to our geographical word " Cape," immediately applied it to
that portion of the island answering the physical features of a cape,
and the map makers accordingly registered their decrees. In the
DeLaets map of 1630, showing the Vineyard, we see the legend
"C. Ack," or Cape Ack, and in the Novi Belgii map of 1671, it is
repeated with a slight change, ^ C. Wack als Ack,'' that is Cape
Wack or Ack, appearing in both instances at the eastern side of
the island, where Cape Poge is known at the present day. In the
DesBarres chart of 1781 it is Capoag (one word), and by pro-
nouncing it in two syllables we have Ca-p5g, which is the general
local pronunciation to-day. It is, however, spelled Cape Poge or
Pogue.
It is my belief that the name Capowack is the Indian title of this
point of land, with its enclosed and almost land-locked harbor,
which afforded a safe shelter for the frail canoes of the natives in
battle or storm. In evidence of the general proposition that Capo-
wack is not the correct Indian name of Martha's Vineyard I submit
the following facts : —
I. Neither the town records of Edgartown, from 1642 to 1670,
which are, in fact, the earliest muniments of title on the Vineyard ;
the Court Records of the County of Dukes County, from the earli-
est entry in 1673 to 1700, nor the town records of Tisbury, from
1671 to 1700, all of which I have examined personally, and from
which I have ftiU abstracts for the periods cited, disclose the use of
the name Capowack as a place name for the island as a whole. This
is, of course, negative testimony, but it may pass as such for cumu-
lative or circumstantial evidence.
II. In the Court Becords of the County of Dukes County, un-
der date of October 13, 1675, an order relative to trading with the
Indians is entered, and as a part of the plan for prohibiting non-
residents from bartering surreptitiously with them, it was provided
•* That no man presume to land any goods anywhere at Marthas
Vineyard, Capepowak, Nomans Land or Elizabeth Isles, unless at
the places appointed." This topographical list includes the whole
of the County as then and now constituted, and serves to show that
" Capepowak " was by the inhabitants considered as distinct and sep-
arate a place from Martha's Vineyard as Neman's Land or the Eliz-
abeth Isles.
III. When the New England Charter of 1692 was issued it dis-
closed the fact that unbeknown to the people of the Vineyard, and
to the government of New York, under which it had been since
1671, the Island was placed under the government of the Massa-
chusetts Bay. In the acts of the General Court of that year, pro-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
1898.] Capowack. 179
Tiding for the control of, and the civil authority on, the Vineyard it
was called ^ Martha's Vineyard alias Capowack." This official des-
ignation aroused the inhabitants to protest against the further use of
this title for the Island, and in obedience to this sentiment, and act-
ing on his instructions as Representative of the towns of Edgartown
and Chilmark to the General Court, at the next session after the
passage of these acts, Mr. Benjamin Smith addressed the Governor
and Representatives in this language : —
*' I am to shew that it seemeth grevious to us that wee seem to be named
in divers acts of the assembly here by a name in no waies acknowledged
by us
I am to shew to your honours that if an act be made that whereas in the
divers acts mentioning Martha's Vineyard Alias Capo wick. If it be in-
serted Martha's Vineyard and Capowick, it will be more satisfactory to
our people." — (Mass. Arch. cxii. 453.)
This evidence seems to me to establish conclusively that however
much others, through ignorance or inadvertance, had given credence
to the original use of the title Capowack as representing the Vine-
yard in its entirety, yet the inhabitants, who were peculiarly familiar
with the Indian language and had been brought into long and inti*
mate relations with the natives through their missions, disavowed
the name as applicable to the whole Island.
That Martha's Vineyard had an Indian name is certain, and as my
desire is not wholly iconoclastic, it is my purpose to restore, if pos-
sible, to its proper place in history the correct name of the island,
as given to it by the Indians. My authority is Thomas Mayhew, Jr.,
the first "apostle** to the Indians there, 1643-1657, an educated
gentleman, learned in their language and who taught them the
Christian religion in their own tongue. In his letter of October 22,
1652, published in "Tears of Repentance," etc. (London, 1653),
reciting the conversion of the Indians, he says : — " I drew forth the
same morning in the Indian Language, which I have here sent in
England," the Covenant of the Indians, which begins, " We the dis-
tressed Indians of the Vineyard (or Nope, the Indian name of the
Island)."
The use of this curious word, pronounced in two syllables, No-pe,
is of rare occurrence in the early records, and I have seen but four
instances thus far in my readings and searches. The first is the one
just cited ; the second is by Daniel Gookin in his " Description of
the New England Indians," written in 1674 (1 Mass. Hist. Soc.
Coll., I., 141). The next is quoted by Freeman (History of Cape
Cod, n., 274), from a deed dated September 7, 1680, when John
Yanno, "Indian of Gay Head at Nope Island," sells certain prop-
erty in Barnstable. The last is a reference made by Josiah Cotton,
at the end of his Indian Vocabulary, compiled about the year 1737
(3 Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., II., 147-257), who says in a dialogue
between himself and a Plymouth Indian, that the Indians of the
Digitized by VjOOQIC

main land find it difficult to understand him because he learned from
his father (Rev. John Cotton) , who had acquired his knowledge ** at
Nope," his father having been a missionary to the Indians at the
Vineyard 1665-8.
I should be glad to be advised of any further references which
readers of the Register may observe.
A COPY OF THE RECORDS OF THE REV. THOMAS
WHITE, THE FIRST PASTOR OF THE CHURCH
IN BOLTON, CONN.
Communicated by Miss Mart K. Talcott, of Hartford, Conn.
The settlement of Bolton was commenced about the year 1716,
and the first inhabitants were largely from the towns of Hartford,
Windsor and Wethersfield. In 1720 it was incorporated as a
town, and in 1725 the people obtained liberty of the General Assem-
bly to form a church. The first minister was the Rev. Thomas
White, who was born in Hatfield, Mass., July 10, 1701, son of
Capt. Daniel and Sarah (Bissell) White of Hatfield, afterwards of
Windsor. He was graduated from Yale College in 1720. He
then taught in the grammar school at Northampton, and probably
at the same time pursued his theological studies with the Rev.
Solomon Stoddard. The next year, he supplied the pulpit of the
First Church in Worcester, Mass. In 1725, he accepted a call to
the newly formed church in Bolton, and was ordained there October
26, 1725, and continued his work until his death, February 22,
1763. He married, June 17, 1725, Martha, daughter of Jonathan
Hunt, of Northampton, who survived him, and married, August
15, 1764, Col. Thomas Welles of Glastonbury, Conn.

COL. JOHN GORHAM'S ''WAST BOOK.''
FAC-SIMILES.
With Notes by Fbamk William Spraoue, Esq.
The " Fac-simile " of a part of the " Wast Book " first appeared
in the January, 1898, number of the New York Genealogical
and Biographical Record^ that publication having printed notes
of it with other interesting Gorham records in the April and Oc-
tober numbers of 1897. The only error that we have discovered
in Col. John Gorham's "Wast Book" is that he makes Capt, John
Gorham the son of John (see Facsimile No. I.). The Plymouth
Colony records prove that his father's name was Ealph.
In January, 1896, the New-England Historical and Gene--
alogical Register contained the writer's notes of "Barnstable
Gorhams," and in the same number was " Eben Parsons and Father-
land Farm," by Mrs. Susan E. P. Forbes. "Eben Parsons mar-
ried Mary Gorham, May 1767." The "Wast Book" was for a
great many years among the papers of Eben Parsons, at Byfield,
Mass. Upon the death of his son Gorham Parsons, in 1844, this
book was handed down through several generations of the family
and recently it came into the possession of the present owner, Mr.
John M. Gorham of Cleveland, Ohio, by whose courtesy the writer
is enabled to present this fac-simile to those interested in the family
records.
The story of Col. John Gorham's part in the capture of Louis-
burg is best told by himself in his letter to Sir William PepperreU,
Parsons's Life of PepperreU, page 240 : —
"* Halifax July 5, 1751.
" I did your message to our Governor, who since tells me he has wrote
your honor. I will take the freedom to remind your honor how I came to
be in that glorious expedition against Louisburg. 1 was sent up to recniit
from Annapolis Royal, by Governor Mascarene, as that fort was then in
great danger of falling into the hands of the enemy, and this expedition
being then in embryo, I was importuned by Governor Shirley, and desired
by your honor and many more of the council, to raise a number of men,
and purchase whale boats and proceed in the expedition, as I did, upon
condition of my having the liberty of going home [to England] with your
honor's packet in my own sloop, as soon as the English flag should be
hoisted at Louisburg. But 1 was disappointed in this, and received no
commission in his royal regiment. My Father died, and most of his regi-
ment at Louisburg. But I thank you for giving me the Commission of
Colonel of my father's regiment ; and I now solicit a letter of recommen-
dation abroad, and assistance to carry through my memorial to the Legis-
lature of Massachusetts.'

** These favors were granted ; and in respect to the promise of sending
him bearer of despatches announcing the conquest, it should be remem-
bered that it was made before Warren joined the expedition, who had an
equal voice with Pepperrell, in selecting a bearer, and would prefer a reg-
oJarlj commissioned officer of high rank in the Navy, as being more re-
spec&ul to the King."
The widow of Col. John Gorham, in a letter written by her to
Governor Cornwallis, dated ** Boston, June 8, 1752,** says: "My
dearly beloved husband in his loyal service to the King, has ex-
pended his entire fortune." (Bourne Papers, Harvard College Li-
brary.)
Lieut. Christopher Gorham, and his brother Charles, sons of Col.
Gorham, were in the " Gorham Rangers,'* commanded by their uncle
Joseph Gorham, in the expedition which captured Havana, in 1762.
Christopher died at Havana, and Charles at Grenada. (Bourne
Papers, Harvard College Library, and Facsimile No. VI. contain-
ing the Gorham Family record.)
The '* Bourne Papers " found in Barnstable, Mass., were given to
the Harvard College Library by the late Judge Joseph M. Day of
Barnstable. Among these papers there are many letters written by
Major General Joseph Gorham to Melatiah Bourne, who was hie
cousin. General Gorham was a younger brother of Col. John
Gorham, his letters dated from 1760 to 1775. According to the
Memoir of this man written in London, in 1887, by Louis D'Agui-
lar Jackson, his commission as Major General in the English army
was dated 28 April, 1790.
In one of his letters to Melatiah Bourne, he states that he has
received grants of land for the estate of his brother John, and for
b'miself, for their services in Nova Scotia. He also states that at
that time his rank was Lieutenant. It would appear from this
statement that he was at Louisburg in 1745.
The following extract from one of his letters shows that his brother
David Gorham, of Barnstable, was an officer in the 1762 expedi-
tion:—
" Bath, Oct 24, 1774.
^'A Captain Payne, of that regiment was Lieut, to David Gorham's
company at the Havana."
Otis, in " Barnstable Families," vol. i., page 119, says of William
Bourne (brother of Melatiah Bourne) : "He served in GorharrCs
Rangers at the taking of Louisburg in 1757. From this it would
appear that Joseph Gorham took part in both sieges of Louisburg.
Another item from the letter written at Bath, England, October
24, 1774, is of interest as showing the feeling of the English toward
the Americans at that time : —
" Since writmg the above Col. Amherst is come to Bath, and by advice
of some of the Court party yesterday from London, says that a new Par-

liament was painfull j Btrock with a view and with a better character to
adopt some more favorable measures to satisfy the people of America.
Yet they want to trim yon Bostonians, who are represented and looked
upon as principals from the beginning. Little considering that if these
measures had commenced in any other part of the Continent, the same sort
of opposition would have been given."
At the unveiling of the Louisburg Memorial, June 17, 1895,
Col. James Madison Whittemore, U.S.A., a descendant of Col.
John Gorham (through his son Lieut. Solomon Gorham of Glouces-
ter, Mass.) was placed in command of the procession.
From 1675 to 1762 five successive generations of Gorhams, from
father to son, who had lived or were bom in Barnstable, Mass.,
held rank as military men.
Capt. Benjamin Gorham, who married Nancy Hinckley, in Bos-
ton, Nov. 28, 1774, was another son of Col. Shubael Gorham.
Capt. Benjamin Gorham, Junior, also a shipmaster, married in
Boston, February 13, 1809, Nancy Kneeland. The following
notes of the senior Capt. Benjamin Gorham may be found in Massa-
chusetts Historical Society Proceedings, vol. iv., page 219, and
vol. xiii., page 173 : —
" March 6, 1774."
^^ Capt. Benjamin Gorham, nine weeks from London, in the Brig For- |
tune, brought 28^ chests of Bohea tea consigned to several persons here."
'^ March 7 " '^ This evening a number of Indians, as is said of his
Majesty of Ocnookortunkogg tribe, emptied every chest into the dock
and destroyed the whole 28^ chests."
Several generations of the descendants of Capt. Benjamin Gor-
ham have owned plantations in Cuba. Not long since the Barn-
stable Patriot had an account of the Glean brothers as being de-
scendants of this branch of the Gorham family, making mention
that these brothers are owners of plantations in Cuba.
Our readers may be interested to know that a letter from Col.
Joseph Gorham, dated "Fort Cumberland," November 10, 1776,
may be found in Kidder's " Eastern Maine and Nova Scotia,** page

Hon. Levi Lincoln, Senior. 193
HON. LEVI LINCOLN, SENIOR, AND HIS CONNECTION
WITH THE EXTINCTION OF SLAVERY IN
MASSACHUSETTS.
Communicated by Rev. Sajcvbl Mat, of Leicester, Mass.
In connection with the Rbgister's notice, in the October number,
of the Hon. Levi Lincoln, the elder, we here add an account of his
action in the Worcester County slave case of 1781, which resulted
in the decision, by the Supreme Court, that slavery can have no
existence under the constitution of Massachusetts. This account
is taken from the chapter furnished to the History of Worcester
County and its Towns (J. W. Lewis & Co., 1889), by the late
Hon. WilUam W. Rice:—
In 1781 the final effort of slavery to maintain itself in Massachasetts
was made in the county of Worcester. A colored man, known as Quork
Walker, was held as the slave of Nathaniel Jennison of Barre. Mr. Jenni-
80D claimed that Walker was born a slave; and was his by inheritance; or,
as elsewhere stated, as having been the property of his wife. There were
Barre men who refused to recognize the justice of this claim, and aided
Walker in asserting his right to freedom. In the Court of Common Pleas,
Jane term, 1781, Jennison brought suit against John and Seth Caldwell for
enticing away his slave, Quork Walker. The court rendered a judgment
in favor of the plaintiff, Jennison ; but the Caldwells appealed the case to
the Supreme Court. While the appeal was pending, the grand jury of the
county found an indictment against Nathaniel Jennison for an assault on
Walker, and illegal imprisonment; and the defence was that the party
assaulted was his slave and property. This case of assault, etc., was de-
cided against Jennison ; and this also appears to have been appealed. The
final hearing before the Supreme Court was not had until the April term,
1783. Levi Lincoln, the elder, of Worcester, and Caleb Strong of North-
ampton,* appeared in behalf of the alleged slave. Addressing the court,
Mr. Lincoln said: ''Is it not a law of nature that all men are equal and
free ? Is not the law of nature the law of God ? Is not the law of God,
then, against slavery ? If there is no law of man's establishing, then there
is no difficulty in this case. If there is such a law, then the difficulty is to
determine which law you ought to obey ; and if you have the same view
that I have of present and future things, you will obey the law of God."
The court sustained this view. Chief Justice Cushing, in pronouncing the
decision, said that the idea of slavery was inconsistent with the Constitution
of Massachusetts. Thus, says Mr. Rice, *'the 'higher law' was pro-
claimed, in April, 1783, in the Worcester county court house, by Levi
Lincoln, in terms quite as bold and unmistakable as by William H. Seward,
three quarters of a century later, in the United States Senate.'*t
In the sketch of the town of Barre, in the same County history,
will be found a more detailed account of the Quork Walker case ;
♦ Strong was subsequently goremor of Massachusetts. Lincoln was lieut.-governor.

CAPT. HOPESTILL FOSTER OF DORCHESTER, MASS.,
AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS.
By William H. Whitiio&e, A.M., of Boston, Mass.
Though considerable has beea written about Capt. Hopestill Foster,
mach was iacorrect, and I mast confess to have been one of the blunderers.
This is especially in regard to the idea that his father came to New Eng-
land.
The true record begins with the fact that on 17 April 1635, there em-
barked on the ** Elizabeth/' of which William Stagg was master,
Patience Foster, aged 40.
Hopestill Foster, '« 14.
Rachel Bigg, " 6.
James Bate, *' 53, and his family.
I agree with Mr. Savage that the age of Rachel Bigg was a clerical
error, and that she was the Rachel Bigg whose will of 17 Nov. 1646 is in our
Suffolk Wills and which is annotated by me in the Register, vol. 29, p. 253.
In the same notes will be found the will of John Bigg of Maidstone, Co.
Kent, Eng., dated 27 March, 1641-2, proved 7 Feb. 1642-3. He mentions
his mother, his sister Foster, and his brother Stowe, all three in New Eng-
land ; cousin James Bate of New England ; and his own brother Smallhope
Biggs of Crau brook, deceased. I omit many other interesting references.
Now the widow Rachel Bigg in 1646 mentions her nephew Hopestill
Foster, and his children Thankful, Hopestill and Patience. In regard to
the word ^ nephew " I made a surprising blunder, treating it as equivalent to
son-in-law, and meaning by it the husband of Patience Foster who came
over with Mrs. Bigg. In fact the word ^^ nephew " in English wills of that
date means very often, if not invariably, '* grandson." See on this point
the standard dictionaries.
This makes everything harmonious. (1) Mrs. Patience Foster, the
emigrant of 1635, was doubtless a widow, and the Christian name of her
husband is still unknown.f Her son (2) Hopestill Foster, born in 1620,
or 1621, was the first of these names in Dorchester, was the (nephew, i.e.)
grandson of Rachel Bigg, and in 1653 he and his cousins, the Stowes,
divided the lands of their *' deceased uncles Smallhope Bigg and John
Bigg, both of Kent"
• Ibid, Tol. 1, p. 851.
t In Aspinwalrs Notarial Book, I find several papers regarding the Fosters, Stowes
and Biggs, notably one of 3, 11th mo. 1648, when thej appointed Robert Swinock of
Maidstone, Kent, their attorney to receive a legacy and '*to call in a bond given by Henry
Archer and Hopestill Foster and Mr. Andrew Foster for security to discharge him of
said legacy." Archer's wife was a Stowe. But it seems that the security, Andrew
Foster, must hare been in England.

1898.] Capt. Hopestill Foster. 195
Against this, is only the tradition or idea that Patience Foster's husband
was named Hopestill, and that he came to Dorchester, substantiated by the
fact that a Hopestill Foster was a freeman 22 May, 1 639, Art. Co. 1 642,
and selectman 1645. (I do not find a selectman then, it being an error for
165»5.) These offices seem beyond the reach of a boy born in 1620.
But look at the other side. In the Dorchester Church Record we find
admitted prior to Nov. 1639, Rachel Bigge, Patience Foster and Hopestill
Foster. In the same record, Thankful Foster bapt. 27 Dec. 1640, ** mar-
ried to Mr. Baker of Boston." [Later note on the ch. record.]
Hopestill Foster « 10 Mch. 1644.
Patience Foster " 16 July, 1646.
all recognized in other ways as children of Capt. Hopestill Foster and his
wife Mary, daugher of James Bates, and of course the same three named
by their grandmother, Rachel Biggs, in her above will of November, 1646.
Now Capt. Hopestill was presumably married in 1 639, the same year thai
the freeman was admitted, and that he was made a church member also.
In Dorchester Town Records as printed, p. 28, in the division of lands
widow Foster had an acre next to Mr. Bates, at the Neck, in January,
1637--8; in March 1637-8 she has 2 acres and 30 rods. In 1641 (p. 45)
persons putting horses on the. neck were to report to Hopestill Foster; in
1644 H. F. was one of three to settle with John Glover. From that date
we trace Capt Hopestill.
All of these facts point to certain conclusions, viz., that prior to 1639 Pa-
tience Foster was a widow, and as there is no mention of her husband*s
death here, nor of his being alive here, it seems indisputable that he never
came here; but that her son Hopestill was made a freeman, church mem-
ber and a husband in 1639. As I have said, if he were only 14 in 1635
this would be marvellous ; but if the Custom-house entry of age was wrong,
as it was in regard to his grandmother Rachel Bigg, there is no inconsis-
tency. In fact I incline to think the age given him was 17 instead of 14,
and then he would be 21 when he took up these responsibilities in 1639.
Mr. Savage in his transcript of these lists of emigrants, has pointed out
numerous instances of evident mistakes in the ages given.
Second Gknebation.
2. Hopestill' Fosteb (Patience^) was evidently a very active man and
his name for years is on nearly every page of the Dorchester records. In
1654 he is called ** ensign," and so on for eight years; in 1662 he is called
*^ lieutenant," under Capt. Clapp; and in 1666 he became "captain/* by
which title he was known till his death.
He held many town offices, as treasurer, &c.; was selectman in 1655 and
many subsequent years; and was deputy to the General Court annually from
1659 to 1676, excepting 1671, when he was commissioner for small causes,
eventually dying in office. This must be an -unusual tenure of office.
As this article is to be genealogical, I shall not attempt to trace Capt.
Foster's purchases of land, except as they may be evidence of pedigree.
Hopestill' Foster married Mary, daughter of James Bates of
Dorchester, who was a cousin to John Bigge. She came in the ship with
the Fosters, and was reported as aged 17, a slight evidence that Hopestill's
age is incorrectly given. Their children were as follows, the births being
copied from Dorchester town records, and the baptisms from Dorchester
church records :

Again it appears by Suffolk Deeds, vol. 21, fol. 524, that on 23 April,
1696, James Foster of Dorchester and wife Anna; Standfast Foster of Dor-
chester and wife Abigail ; Thankful Baker, widow ; Patience, wife of Thomas
Brown of Sudbury, gent; and Mary, wife of Samuel Ward of Boston,
cooper ; all children of Capt. Hopestill Foster ; and also Hopestill Foster of
Boston, gunsmith, one of the grandsons of Capt. Hopestill, sold land to
Matthias Puffer of Dorchester.
By a deed dated 31 Dec. 1703, recorded in 1715, Suffolk Deeds 29, fol.
223, it seems that Standfast Foster bought land of Thomas Brown of Sud-
bury, who married Patience, one of the daughters of Capt. Hopestill Foster ;
James Foster, son of Capt. H. ; Mary Ward, widow, a daughter of H. F. ;
Hopestill Foster, gunsmith, and Silence Eliot, widow, two of the grand-
chi[dren of CapL H. F. It mentions that Hopestill, Elisha and Comfort,
three sons of Capt. H. F., were then deceased.
All of these relations are plain except Silence Eliot. I pointed out in
Sewall's Diary, vol. iii. p. 333, that she was the daughter of a daughter of
Capt. Hopestill. James Foster had a daughter Silence Foster, as we shall
see, born in 1677; but Silence Eliot, who was the wife of Joseph Eliot of
Boston (son of Jacob Eliot), died 8 June, 1744, aged 78, as her tombstone in
the Granary yard testifies. She was born in 1666. Now it is certain that
Capt Hopestill's oldest daughter married 8 Jan. 1663-4, John Baker of

Boston, and had John, born at Boston 26 Feb. 1664-5, and Silence born
at Dorchester (see records) 28, 5 mo. 1666, *' daughter of John Baker of
Boston, deceased.*' John Baker's will, dated 26 March, 1666, proved 5
July, following, is in Suffolk Wills 1. 471. In it he mentions wife Thankful,
son Thomas, daughter Elizabeth, a child unborn, and makes his father Hope-
still Foster, his uncle Richard Baker, and his cousin William Ireland, over-
seers* He mentions his sister Catherine Johnson, his wife's uncle Bates,
and gives his son Thomas the land that was his grandfather Swift's, at Dor-
chester Neck.
I pointed out in my note to Sewall's Diary, that Savage was entirely
wrong about John Baker ; this will shows still more error in Savage (vol.
i., p. 97, and vol. iv., p. 241 ). Savage says that John Baker of Boston,
blacksmith, married 5 Nov. 1 657, Joan, daughter of Thomas Swift of Dor-
chester, by whom he had five sons and one daughter, of whom only Thomas
and Elisabeth survived. Then he denounces the record of the marriage
and the first four births as falsely made on the Boston records, because the
marriage record of 1657 says "married by John Winthrop, governor,"
though he died in 1649. (See Boston Records, printed edition, p. 62.)
Now the explanation is ludicrously simple. It was a clerical error for
John Endecott, Gov., whose name is added to the next entry, and so for
twenty more marriages on the same page. It is only a proof that eight
years after his death, a clerk would mechanically write Gov. John Win-
throp's name.
Boston records say that Joanna, wife of John Baker, died 21 July, 1663,
and this makes everything clear. By his first wife (Swift) Baker had only
Thomas and Elizabeth, and by his second wife (Foster) he had the child,
unborn in March, who was named Silence, later. Undoubtedly John, the
first child of this marriage, had died, not being named in the will, and Si-
lence was thus the only heir* of her mother, Thankful (Foster) Baker, and
therefore she joined in the deed we have cited.
As to Patience Foster, wife of Major Thomas Brown of Sudbury, and
her issue, I shall speak later on.
Third Generation.
8. Hopestill' Foster, of Boston (of second church), soap boiler,
married Elizabeth, daughter of Giles Payson of Roxbury, 15 Feb. 1666-7,
and had at Boston :
i. Elizabeth,^ b. 26 July, 1669.
U. Mary* b. 23 July, 1671 ; m. Timothy Nash 2 AprU, 1694.
9. ill. Hopestill,* b. 1678?
10. iv. Samuel,* b. 27 Dec. 1676.
Hopestill died about 1677, and his widow married Edmund Browne of
Boston before 1694.
He was a constable in Boston 1675, on a committee for the town 1676.
By Suffolk Deeds (vol. 87, fol. 233), it seems that 7 Aug. 1700, there
was a settlement of the estate of Hopestill F., soap boiler. This deed was
acknowledged 14 Nov. 1715, by Elizabeth Brown the widow, and Hope-
still F., gunmaker, the eldest son, but was not recorded till 18 May, 1724,
after the latter's death.
Suffolk Deeds (vol. 38, fol. 27), Elizabeth Brown assigned her rights
under date of 10 July, 1724, to her daughter Elizabeth Foster, widow and
shop-keeper.

Oct. 1732, ill his 82d year.
His childreirs marriages are shown by the following deed :
Suffolk Deeds (vol. 48, fol. 76.)— John Foster & w. Mary, of Boston,
blacksmith. James Foster Jr. & w. Priscilla, of Dorchester, yeoman.
Hopestill Foster Jr. & w. Sarah, of Boston, housewright. Silence, w. of
John Clap of Sudbury. Anna, w. of Robert Field of Dorchester. Pa-
tience, w. of Samuel Saville of Braintree. Jemima, w. of Robert Spur of
Dorchester. Elizabeth, w. of Ebenezer Bernard of Woodstock. Thank-
ful Foster, spinster. All children of
James Foster.
James Foster's tombstone is in the old
Dorchester yard, and bears the following
coat-of-arms. It records the death of
James and his wife, both in 1732, and,
under the rules of the Heraldic Journal,
this coat must be considered as strong pre-
sumptive evidence of the right of the family
to use arms. James was the son of an
emigrant, and the inscription is earlier than
the period of the assumption of arms here.
6. Elisha* Foster of Dorchester. Married Sarah Payson (daughter
of Giles, and sister to his brother Hopestill's wife), 10 April, 1678. He
died 16 Oct. 1682, probably of small pox. His widow married Ebenezer
Wiswall, 26 March, 1685, and died 21 June, 1714.

Having thus traced five generations with reasonable fulness, I propose
to trace only one line to the present time, that of [No. 17] Hopestill,' son
of [No. 12] Hopestill,^ grandson of Capt. James,' who lived at the corner
of Hollis and Washington Streets, Boston. As to the Dorchester lines, I
rest here, because there were in that town, from 1 664, other Fosters not
allied to Hopestill, and it may be difficult to discriminate the later genera-
tions. I append to this article the early generations of these Fosters.

LETTER OF THOMAS MAYHEW TO GOV. EDMUND
ANDROS, 1675.
Commuiucated by C. M. Foster, Esq., of New York.
I SEND herewith a copy of a letter from Mr. Thomas Mayhew to
Gov. Edmund Andros, taken from New York Colonial Manu*
scripts. I have never seen a copy of this letter before, and doubt
if it has been published. Aside from the facts he gives concerning
the validity of his title to the Islands, it also proves he was a man
who, when he felt sure of his rights, was thoroughly competent to
maintain them. The Mathew mentioned herein was grandson of
Gov. Mayhew. It is certain the Governor never had a brother in
this country. "My Sonne Saxson" was probably Richard Sansom
who married the widow of his only aouy Thomas 2d* Widow's
maiden name was Jane Paine, and most likely the daughter of Sir
Thomas's second wife by her former marriage with Robert Paine of
LfOndon.

will be carefully Bent to both which I humbly referre yo* honor, not pre-
suming in the least but that they shall be considered according to the worth
of the contents : my meaning therefore now is to crave patience to reade &
weigh the eusueinge lines in a special manner whereby unto your honour I
shall be much obliged: In 1641 I had a graunt of Mr. James Forrett
Agent to the £arl Sterling for these Isles and I forthwith endeauoured to
obtaine the Indian right of them : Mr. Richard Vynes Steward general to
Sir Ferdynando Gorges hearing of it interrupted shewing me his masters
pattent& his power insomuch that I was convynced by him that Gorges who
was then gouernor of the provynce of Maine th really Sir Ferdy-
nandos right And for a some of money did obtaine from said Vynes a
graunt allso : It came so to pass that Mr. Forrett went suddenly for Eng-
land before he had shewed me his masters pactent whome afterwards I
never saw : some years after this came ouer one Mr. Forrester furnished
with power who was here with me & told me that he would cleare upp all
things & that I should be one of his Counsell but he from here went to
Long Island & from thence to the Dutch where the governor put him in
prison and sent him a prisoner into holland as I heard for I never saw him
more : Soe we remained under Gorges haveing no newes of either Lord
proprietor till his Majestys Commissioners came ouer and then Mr. Arch-
dale sent me printed paper whereby his Ma tie had by his the com-
missioners most strongly confirmed Ferdynando Gorges Esquire to be the
Lord of the province of Maine of wch Nantukkitt & this be a pte : withall
he wrote me that Generall NycoU did clayme these Isles but at theire first
meeting that would be taken of A: now after this Generall Nycoll wrote me
that Mr. Archdale haveing Gorges pattent for to present and he not have-
ing the said Sterlings the kings commissioners orders referred the decision
to his Matie : whereof he had not any intelligence but a little before he
went to England : Generall Nycoll did acknowledge that the power of
these Islands was proper in the heires of Sir Ferdynando Gorges : I have
the testymony of the Generall Court of boston for it: wch Court sent to
the Gentlemen of the provynce of Maine whose answer was, That it was in
my Isle &c Now after all this co[nl]est Collonell Lovelace he sends for
me in a loueing manner to come to York to show by what tytle I hold
tliose Hands : wherenppon I gave him to vnderstand as is aboue written :
And at length went to him & showed him my graunt which he approved
of and the printed paper from his Matie : at which he stumbled much :
allso I showed him what Generall Nycoll had written me of his not being
informed what his Matie had done : thereat he stumbled very much like-
wise: then I asked him yf he had the Lord Sterlings pattent by him, he
said noe : I answered then I was at a losse I sent to Captaine Nycoll
and acquainted him with our discourse and prayed him to search in mat-
ters of Long Hand & see yf he could not find the date of Lord Sterlings
pattent, yf not I could doe nothing at York, which he did finde & it was
more antient than Grorges: yf not I had nothing but a . • . . Elizabeth
lies. I questioned allso in myselfe whether safe for me to .... I say lit-
tle touching any Land without a publique warrant to decline (?) Grorges
Gouernment as I had to obey it: I meant (?) from his Matie Except
Eueuts compelled: allsoe this his honour & I did agree vppon in ac-
knowledgement wch by my graunt from Forrett I was to pay yearly to the
Lord Sterling or his Suocessours a new Charter and liberties in it made :
grounded vppon my first graunt & the resignation of Lord Sterlings heires

BARNSTABLE FAMILIES, BY THE LATE AMOS OTIS, ESQ.
The following statement was communicated by Frank W. Sprague, Esq.,
of Boston, to the Barnstable Patriot^ and printed in its issue of December
20, 1897:
BoBTON, December 7, 1897.
In November. 1861, Mr. Otis began In the Barnstable Patriot, the publication
of his genealogies of Barnstable Families, a series of articles which were re-
printed in two volumes by F. B. & F. P. Goss in 1888 and 1889. Mr. Otis began
sending these articles as they appeared to the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society, but they miscarried so frequently that he discontinued sending them,
saying to the librarian that he was preserving a set of the articles for himself
by pasting them into a volume, and that he would at the same time prepare an-
other set for the Society, which he would deliver to the Society when the series
were finished. This Mr. Otis said in ray presence.
When, in 1872, I became librarian of the Historic Genealogical Society, I
found that though the series was ended, the volume had not been delivered. On
meeting Mr. Otis, I reminded him of his promise. He replied that he did com-
plete a set for the Society, but before delivering it to them, he loaned It to Rev.
Henry M. Dexter, D.D., and while Dr. Dexter had the volume a gentleman In
Boston wrote to him for the loan of It. He wrote to Dr. Dexter, authorizing
him to loan It, which he did, but the volume was never returned to Dr. Dexter
nor to Mr. Otis. He had then forgotten the name of the borrower; but if be
found the letter he would get the book and deliver it to the Society.
I saw Dr. Dexter and he confirmed Mr. Otls's statement. He said the gentle-
man who borrowed the book gave him his card, which he kept In his pocketbook
for many years, but had then lost It. To the best of his recollection the bor-
rower was in the Insurance business in State Street. I made inquiries, but was
never able to find who borrowed the book, nor where It was. Dr. Dexter de-
scribed the book, but there is no need to give the description.
John Ward Dran,
18 Somerset Street, Boston.
The volume has not yet been found. The Society is desirous of obtain-
ing the original articles as they appeared in the Patriot^ and will give a
handsomely bound volume of the reprint for a complete file of the numbers
of that newspaper containing the articles which were commenced in No-
vember 1861.

MO WRY: A UNIQUE FAMILY MONUMENT.
By William A. Mowry, Ph.D., Hyde Park, Mass.
Within the cemetery near Woonsocket, R. I., opposite the Friends' Meet-
ing House, and near the main entrance, has lately been erected a unique
monument to the Mowry family in America. A beautiful view of this
monument, from a photograph by Merrill, of Woonsocket, accompanies
this article.
The monument is of white bronze, is fire feet and a half square at the
base, and sixteen feet high. It is surmounted by a figure of Hope with
one hand upon the anchor, and a face, exquisite in expression, turned up-
ward. This monument was erected solely at the expense of Hon. Arlon
Mowry, now of Providence but a native and former resident of old Smith-
field, later North Smithfield. Upon the panels and plinths of the four sides
are placed the inscriptions which include the genealogy of one direct line
of nine generations of Mowrys in this country, beginning with Roger, —
one of the early settlers of Boston, — and ending with the children of Arlon.
These inscriptions include the names of more than one hundred different
persons, and embrace over a thousand words in telling the story.
The following are the inscriptions upon the four sides of this monument :

Providence Public Library, the Harris Institute Library, and the Library
of the Society of Friends in Woonsocket.
It is doubtful if another monument similar to this in design and scope
can be found in the whole country. It places the genealogy of this one
family for nearly three centuries in the most compact form and in a public
place, where it will be read not only by the members of this family, but
by thousands who otherwise would be entirely ignorant of ihe early his-
tory of the family in America.

The earliest mention of Roger Mowry in this country is found in the
Boston records, as follows : —
'•^ Eighteen May, 1631, names of such as desire to be made £Freemen,
famong them] Roger Mawry, Roger Williams." Neither of these two
Rogers remained in Boston to accept the duties and privileges of '^ fPree-
men " in that colony. But, soon after, we find them both citizens of Ply-
mouth, later both became citizens of Salem, and finally they lived side by
Bide in Providence. Roger Mo wry was in Salem from 1636 to 1649. He
and his wife Mary were members of the church at Salem. The Suffolk
records (vol. iii., p. 374) show that his wife was '^ the eldest daughter of
John Johnson, late of Roxbury." In 1637 '^ he had fifty acres laid out"
to him two miles or more from the settlement at Salem toward what was
afterwards known as Salem Village. He built his house on the lot which
IS now the corner of Essex and Flint Streets, adjoining the Bowditch
School. Indeed this house lot ran from what is now Essex Street north-
ward to the river and included the land upon which now stand the Bow-
ditch School and the Catholic Church.
The records of the church in Salem show that his oldest son, Jonathan,
was baptized April 2, 1637, and other children as follows : Bethia, 1638,
June 17; Mary, 1640, June 16; Elizabeth, 1643, January 20; Benjamin,
1649, May 20; between Elizabeth and Benjamin were four other children
as given on the north side of the monument and no record is found of their
baptism. In August, 1658, in open Tovm Meeting, at Providence, Roger
Mowry testified that his three youngest children, Benjamin, Thomas and
Hannah, were bom in Providence. It is supposed that the Salem pastor,
when on a visit in 1649 to the members of his church then residing in
Provid^ce, found the infant Benjamin, baptized him there and entered the
record upon the Salem Church book on his return home. The original
records of that period of the Salem Church have been lost, although some
of them were copied and kept in a later book which has been preserved.
The above facts are gleaned from that book.
Roger Mowry was admitted freeman in Providence in 1655. He built
a house about 1653, a portion of which is now standing, newer parts hav-
ing been buih to it from time to time during these intervening centuries.
This house is on Abbott Street, near North Main Street, not far from
the North burial ground. It has been known for many years as the
oldest house in the city, and has been called the Olney House.
Professor Isham of Brown University has lately proven by real estate
records that this house was built by Roger Mowry as mentioned above.
For a series of years he kept a " tavern " in the town of Providence.
About the same time Richard Pray was licensed to keep a public house
also. It would seem that the liberty-loving people of the town were ac-
customed to frequent the house kept by Mowry.
A story is told of a Massachusetts constable who had arrested a man at
Fawtuxet and was carrying him to Massachusetts. He stopped with his
prisoner over night at Pray's Tavern. During the evening some citizens
of the town gadiered at Mowry's Tavern, discussed the matter, decided
that a Massachusetts constable had no right to arrest a man in their colony
and carry him to the Bay Colony. They, therefore, suddenly summoned
a meeting of the town council at Mowry's Tavern. The members of the
council soon gathered and sent a messenger to the Massachusetts officer
demanding by what authority he held his prisoner. Some controversy en-
sued between the parties, but the result was that the officer did not carry
bis prisoner to Boston but he was released.

Roger's son Thomas, who was bom in Providence in 1652, settled in
Roxbury, where in 1 673 he married Susanna Newell. This Thomas had
a daught€ir Abigail bom in 1681. In Roxbury one of the leading families
in that early time was the Harris family. Robert Harris was one of the
first settlers there and his son Timothy was bom in 1650, and did not marry
until he was nearly forty-seven years old. When he was about thirty years
of age, one day he rapped at the door of neighbor Mo wry (Thomas), and
as no one answered the summons he pulled the latch string and walked in.
Mrs. Mowry being out at the time had left her babe Abigail asleep in the
cradle. The noise of Timothy's entering awakened the child, who immedi-
ately began to cry. While Timothy was trying to pacify the little one,
Mrs. Mowry came in and, amused at the old bachelor's attention to her
babe, lifted up her hands and exclaimed : ^' Good heart, old bachelor, I
have some hopes of you yet" Looking ap at her, Timothy inmiediately
replied : " And well you may, good wife, for I propose to wait for this
dsonsel until she be grown and ask her for my wife."
He kept his promise and on the second of April, 1697, Timothy Harris,
then in his forty-seventh year, was married to Abigail Mowry, who was at
that time sixteen years and three days old. They had four children and
Timothy lived to be eighty years of age and his wife died in her eighty-
seventh year.
Abigail had a brother John who inherited the farm from his father and
was a man of property and high standing in the community. He was one
of seventeen inale members who organized the second church in Roxbuiy,
now West Roxbury. This was in 1712. He presented the church with a
silver christening basin, and when the third church was established, now
the Unitarian Church at Jamaica Plain, he presented it with a clockjwhich
is still used, — a round, gilded dial clock, at the present time in the chapel
of that church.
The descendants of Roger Mowry are scattered in large numbers all
over the country. His two sons Nathaniel and John were among the early
settlers of northern Rhode Island and at one time they were half owners
with three other partners, Edward Inman, Thomas Wallin and John Steer,
of 3500 acres of land, running from the Blackstone river near Pawtucket
westward to the Connecticut line and including the vicinity of what is now
the city of Woonsocket. To commemorate the descendants of Nathaniel,
in only one direct line, that of Hon. Arlon Mowry, this monument is
erected.
Most of the facts in this brief article have never before been brought
together, but are culled from reliable sources after much research.
Twenty years ago a volume of three hundred and forty pages, entitled
'< The Descendants of Nathaniel Mowry of Rhode Island," and another
volume of two hundred and forty pages, entitled ** Richard Mowry of Ui-
bridge, Mass., his Ancestors and his Descendants," were published, having
been prepared by the writer of this article. No genealogy of any other
branch of this family has yet appeared, but in some directions wide re-
search has already been made and much labor bestowed upon the subject,
so that it is hoped the records of other branches of this great family will
before long be rescued from oblivion and placed in proper form before the
public.

FOUE GENERATIONS OF THE WALDO FAMILY IN
AMERICA.
By Waldo Lznooln, Esq., ol Worcester, Mass.
The following genealogy, much condensed from a complete his-
tory of the Waldo family in preparation, is now published that the
Register may contain an account of the early generations of this
family, which shall correct the several errors existing in previous
articles which have appeared in earlier numbers. The dates are as
taken from the state, county and town records, and are therefore
" old style," previous to 1752. Double dates are only given when
they appear in the records themselves.
1. Cornelius Waldo, the ancestor of all the Waldos now in America so
far as has been learned, was born about 1624 probably in England, where
we know his family was living in 1653. He was here as early as 1647, for
'* at a Court held at Salem ye 6th of 5th mo. 1647 by adjournment Corne-
lius Waldo hath left a fowling piece for further security of the 40 sh for
which he stands ingaged for his brother Thomas for a fine unto ye con tree
4& thereupon The 0:>urt is pleased to forbear Leviing ye sd fine from him
before Ipswich Court next" This brother Thomas returned to England
and was in Ireland when John Cogswell visited his *' brother Waldo's
friends'' in 1653 (see Register, xv. 177) and seems never to have returned
to New England. Cornelius probably first settled at Ipswich, where he be-
came *' John Cogswell's farmer," and he married Hannah, daughter of John
and Elizabeth (Thompson) Cogswell of Ipswich, who was born 1624,
at Westbury Leigh, Co. Wilts, England, before Jan. 2, 1651-2, for on
that date John Cogswell, Sr., conveyed to his *' sonne in law Cornelius
Waldoe " a house and 49 acres of land at Chebacco Fall s. This estate was
sold by Cornelius Waldo of Chelmsford and Hannah his wife, February
15,1668, and it was there that he probably lived during his residence at
Ipswich, although September 14, 1652, he bought a house on High Street
in Ipswich, which is still standing and known as the *' old Waldo house,"
but which he sold August 31, 1654. Rev. Mr. Allen appears to be mis-
taken iu saying that Mr. Waldo went to Chelmsford with Rev. Johu Fiske
iu 1657 with the Wenham church. Mr. Fiske, in his records of the Wen-
ham church and of its removal to Chelmsford, makes no mention of Wal-
do, and moreover the births of Waldo's children are recorded in the
Essex County Records at Salem, as occurring at Ipswich up to Mary's
birth, September 9, 1665. As her death, November 29, 1665, is recorded
only at Chelmsford, it is probable that Waldo removed his family between
those two dates. He may not have done so, however, until about the time
he sold his house at Chebacco in 1668. He became a large owner of real
estate both at Chelmsford and Dunstable, and was choseu deacon of Mr.
Weld's church in the latter town. In 1689-90 Cornelius Waldo was cho-
sen Representative from Dunstable, but this may have been the son. In

1690 he received a license to keep a taverD, and is then called Cornelius
Waldo, Sr., of Chelmsford. He died at Chelmsford, January 3, 1700 (grave-
stone), or 1701 (Town Records), and was buried in the old burying ground
there, where his grave-stone, on which he is called set. 75 yrs., is still stand-

the rest," Aug. 2, 1675. He afterwards served at Groton garri-
son and in 1682 was, with his brother Daniel, employed as a
mounted guard in the town of Dunstable of which he was an in-
habitant, and for which town he was representative in 1689. He
was an inhabitant of Boston in 1695 and may have lived there
earlier, since in 1684 Rebecca Waldo, who may have been his
wife but was probably his sister, was admitted into the Second
Church, Boston. He owned a grist mill at Dunstable and in 1697
John Waldo of Boston, miller, sold a tide mill at the Town Cove,
Hingham, but it does not appear that he ever lived there. Soon
after this he removed to Windham, Ct, where he was admitted an
inhabitant January 20, 1697-8, and where he died April 14, 1700.
In Windham also he owned a grist mill. He married, 1676-7, Re-
becca,' daughter of Samuel^ ( Henry ^) and Rebecca (Graves)
Adams of Charlestown. She survived him and married 2d, 1710
(marriage contract dated April 26), Deacon Kliezer Brown of
Canterbury, Ct., who died January 22, 1719-20, and she died Sep*
tember 17, 1727, at Canterbury.

3. Cornelius^ Waldo (Cornelius^) is first heard of January 24, 1676,
when he is credited on Treasurer John Hull's ledger with £00 :-
19 : 00 for services in the Indian War. He was of or served at
Chelmsford. He was given land in Dunstable by his father and
probably resided there for a time, but finally removed to Bos-
tout where his name appears on the tax list in 1691. The births
of all his children are recorded at Boston, but as the third child is
also recorded at Dunstable (not Lancaster, as says Gen. Reg.
xvlil. 176) in 1786, he probably did not remove till after that date.
He married about 1683, Faith, widow of Jeremiah Jackson of
Boston, who died about 1781, and by whom she had a son Jere-
miah, born June 11, 1677, at Boston. She was daughter of Tho-
mas and £lizabeth Pecke of Boston, and was born December 8,
1658, at Boston, and long survived her husband, who died previous
to June 8, 1697, when Thomas Pecke gave land to his daughter,
Faith Waldo, widow. She was a shopkeeper " at the next House
to the Bunch of Grapes Tavern in Leveretts Lane Boston," very
likely continuing her husband's business. She died October 23,
1732, says Mr. Daniel Waldo, her great grandson. Her will, dated
March 12, 1730, probated November 14, 1732, names son Corne-
lius, daughters Judith Durant, Rachel Durant wife of John Du-
rant, and Elizabeth Waldo wife of John Waldo.

4. Daniel' Waldo (OorneHus^) was in 1682 an inhabitant of Dan-
stable when he and his brother John were employed as a mounted
guard against the Indians, but later he seems to have lived at
Chelmsford, and Julj 30, 1695, he was granted a lot of land bj
that town, in consideration for which he agreed to ** set ap and
maintain a good sufficient corn mill and a good sufficient miller
on stony brook below the highway to Dunstable between Mer-
rimack and the bridge." He was in garrison at Chelmsford March
16, 1691-2. In the year 1700 he sold his lands in Chelmsford and
Dunstable and removed to Bridgewater, though he seems to have
lived for a time at Dorchester, where his son Zechariah was born.
April 25, 1716, he received from ^'his brother" Jonathan, the life
interest in a farm of 211 acres in Pomfret, Ct., and probably re-
moved thither about that time. December 2, 1717, he was voted
an inhabitant of that town and was Representative in the May
term, 1720. Hem. November 20, 1683, at Chelmsford, Susan-
nah,' daughter of Samuel' (Henry^) and Rebecca (Graves) Adams
of Chelmsford, sister of his brother John's wife. She died March
16, 1741, at Pomfret. He died November 1, 1737. They were
buried in the old burying ground at Pomfret and their grave stones
much defaced by time and scarcely legible, are still standing.

5. Jonathan* Waldo {Oomelitu^) is in Gen. Reg., xviii., 176, and
elsewhere, called son of his brother Daniel. That be was son of
Cornelius,^ is established by a deed dated April 25, 1716, in which
"Jonathan Waldo of Boston Merchant and Hannah his wife for
and in consideration of ye Natural love and affection yt we have
and bare towards our well beloved Brother Daniel Waldo and his
present wife our sister Susannah Waldo," convey a life interest to
them in a farm in Pomfret, Conn. He removed to Boston, proba-
bly when young, lived the remainder of his life there and became
a prominent and wealthy merchant. He was a large land owner
in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and owned a share in the Mus-
cungus Patent in Maine, which afterwards became the property
of his son Samuel.
His name often occurs in the Boston Records, though he held
no important offices. His will, dated May 15, 1731, probated June
11, 1731, in which he left ^Marge donations to pious uses," names
sons Samuel and Jonathan, daughters Hannah Fair weather and
her husband Thomas Fairweather, and Anne Waldo, granddaughter
Abigail Allen, son-in-law Jeremiah Allen, and wife Friscilla. He
married 1st, November 28, 1692, at Boston, Hannah Mason, who
was born about 1668, but whose parentage is unknown, though
from certain evidence in Suffolk Deeds she may have been daugh-
ter of John Mason of Boston, joy ner, and his wife Sarah.
Mrs. Hannah Waldo died May 16, 1726, aged 58, say the Boston
Records ; but in the diary of Jeremiah Bumstead (Gen. Reg., xv.,
309), under date of June 3, 1726, we read "Also Mrs. Waldo
dyed ; & buryed the 6." Mr. Waldo married 2d, Madam Priscilla
Sparhawk, widow of Rev. John Sparhawk of Bristol, R. I. (inten-
tions published February 11, 1726-7), and died May 26, 1731,
aged 63. His widow removed to Eittery, and died before March
31, 1755, when her will was probated. Mr. Waldo "was always
accounted a Man of Integrity, a fair dealer, and a liberal bene-
factor to the Poor."

6. John' Waldo {John^^ Cornelius^) settled in that part of Windham, Ct,
which is DOW called Scotland, but in 1710 or '11 he removed to
Boston, and in various Suffolk Deeds is called miller, brewer, dis-
tiller and retailer. In 1719, he was with twenty-three others in-
terested in the building of the New Brick Church, and was an
original member of that society. He married 1st, October 3,
1706, at Windham, Elizabeth ffenno, whose parentage and birth
has not been learned ; but she was probably some relation of the
Ephraim ffenno of Boston, who was joint owner with Waldo of an
estate in Boston. She died about 1720, and he married 2d, May
22, 1722, at Boston, Ann Candage, who was born about 1692 and
died February 2, 1723, aged about 31 years, as says her grave
stone in Ck)pp's Hill burying ground. He married 3d, June 22,
1724, at Boston, Mrs. Hannah Bucklin or Buckley, who was a
widow in 1719. She was daughter of Thomas and Mary Tawley,
and was born April 16, 1680, at Boston. She died before March
5, 1728, and he married 4th, April 14, 1780, at Boston, his cousin
Elizabeth, daughter of Cornelius and Faith Waldo (No. 3, iii.).
She died in 1746, as December 26, 1746, Cornelius Waldo was
appointed administrator of the estate of '^his sister Elizabeth
Waldo, widow." Mr. Waldo died about 1736, and administration
on his estate was granted to Elizabeth Waldo, widow, October 19,

He died August 3, 1767, at Windham. They are buried in the
Palmer Cemetery, Scotland, where their grave-stones are still

Elisha and Rebecca Paine.

10, Samuel' Waldo (Jonathan,^ Cornelius^) was brought up a merchant
Id his father's counting room, and afterwards was in business with
his cousin Cornelius on King Street and later in Merchants Row,
but may not have continued long with him. He became a very
wealthy and prominent man, was an intimate friend of Sir William
Pepperrell and of William Shirley, whose appointment as gover-
nor he was instrumental in obtaining, much to the wrath of Gov. Bel-
cher. He was an owner. in the Muscungus Patent in Maine, and
eventually became almost the sole proprietor of that property, which
contained about 500,000 acres. He was also a large proprietor of
lands in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and at his death his pro-
perty inventoried £71,020:14:6 lawful money, a:i enormous
fortune for those days. He is described as ** an accomplished gentle-
man, active and enterprising, an elegant military officer, tall and
portly." Feb. 7, 1745, he was commissioned brigadier general,
and was second in command to Sir William Pepperrell in the
Louisbourg expedition. In connection with his Maine lands, he
made many voyages to P^iurope. He settled what is now Waldo-
boro' with German colonists. He lived on Queen Street in Boston,
but also owned a residence in Falmouth. He died suddenly, while
on an expedition with Gov. Pownall, at or near the site of the
present City of Bangor, May 23, 1759. He married (published
June 9, 1722) Lucy, daughter of Francis and Sarah (Whipple)
Wainwright of Ipswich, who was born April 30, 1704, at Ipswich,
and d. Aug. 7, 1741, at Boston. Mr. Waldo was councillor
1742-5 and 1758.

betrothed to Andrew, only son of Sir William Pepperrell, but
owing to unaccountable and mortifying actions and delays on
his part the engagement was broken by the young lady at the al-
tar. Mr. Flucker was a merchant in Boston and a leading man
there. He was representative 1756-60, councillor 1761-8, and sec-
retary from Nov. 12, 1770 till the end of British rule in Boston.

vl. Ralph-Gulston, b. Aug. 26, 1786, was in Feb. 1767 appointed cap-
tain in Col. Joseph Frye*s regiment, which formed part of the
garrison of Fort William Henry daring its siege and surrender on
the 9th of August following. His fate is in doubt. In Nile's
** History of the Indian and French Wars " it is said: " Captain
Waldo, probably venturing too near, was shot through the body.
He was carried into the fort, but soon after died** ; " after the fort
was surrendered they [the Indians] dug up Captain Waldo, be-
fore spoken of, and others and scalped them." This story is part-
ly confirmed by a report in Mass. Archives that Capt/ Waldo's
company was commanded after Aug. 8 by Capt. Abel Keen, and
by the fact that Waldo d. before his father, as he is not named in
the settlement of his father's estate. He never married.
11. Jonathan* Waldo {Jonathan? Goriieliw^) is described as a mer-
chant when adminstration of his estate was granted to his widow.
He lived on Prince Street in Boston. He married May 2, 1721,

was born March 19, 1700, at Boston, and died before September

is said (Gen. Reg. zv. 330) to have been one of the Boston Tea Party,
to have removed to Nantucket and d. there 1818. This was pro-
bably the son, as the will of Gilbert Colesworthy of Boston,
caulker, was probated Aug. 10, 1784. It names his wife Mary and
all the children. The will of Mary Colesworthy of Boston, widow,

seems to have removed to Scituate, Mass., after her husband's
death and was living there April 28, 1788. Mr. Waldo was a
cooper, living in Boston, and died there before Oct 4, 1758, for

removed to Watertown and later to Sudbury, where he is supposed

22. Daniel* Waldo (CarTielius,* Gomeliuty^ Cornelius^) became a mer-
chant in Boston, and was in business both with his brother John
and his brother Joseph ; the former partnership lasted bat a short
time, the latter until 1770. In 1776, he removed from Boston
with his family, first going to Providence it is said, and in 1777 he
bought a small place in Lancaster, Mass., where he lived until his
removal to Worcester in 1782. In Worcester he became a pros-
perous merchant and prominent citizen. He held few political
offices. He succeeded his brother Joseph as overseer of the poor
in Boston in 1770, and held that office until his removal from
Boston. He is accused of having sympathized with the tories
daring the Revolution, but the accusation does not appear to be
just. He was undoubtedly aristocratic in his tastes, and his ex-
travagance in owning a *^ one horse Chaise " (the only one in
Worcester) was much criticised. He died December 8, 1808, at
Worcester. He married, May 3, 1757, at Boston, Rebecca,'
daughter of Nicholas' (John^) and Martha (Saunders) Salisbury,
who was born April 7, 1781, at Boston, and died September 25,

the estate of her hasband, Capt. John Gorham, in 1675 (see fac-simile No.
II. in the article on the Gorham family, ante, pp. 186 to 194) is in the
"Scrap Book," page 120, Plymouth Records. As she was the daughter
of John Howland and Elizabeth T^illey, and *' one of the first born in Ply-

Miss Pease's Description of the Book from which these Records are
COPIED.
When in Boston some weeks since, I spoke to you of a certain little book
belonging to my father's collection of valuable papers. This little book con-
tains a record of upwards of one thousand deaths In the town of Edgartown.
It was kept by the Rev. Samuel Kingsbury and by the Rev. Joseph Thaxter,
and covers a period of sixty-seven years, beginning in 1761 and ending in 1827.
I speak of it as the Thaxter Record of Deaths as most of it is in his hand.
Under date December 18, 1851, my father, Richard L. Pease, says of it:
" These records were kept by Rev. Joseph Thaxter, in a small memorandum
Book, which more than 20 years after his death, I found in a garret, with other
old papers. In the Town Records only a few scattering Records of death were
kept prior to 1821, when Isaiah D. Pease, Esq., was chosen Town Clerk.'' "■ The
original mem® Book is now in my possession. That book and this," — referring
to a copy he had just taken — '• contain the only record of deaths from 1761 to
1821."
The value of this little book can hardly be estimated, containing as it does
the «o2e record of death of many of the former inhabitants of this town.
Realizing its value and foreseeing the loss it would be if any accident should
wipe it out of existence, I became convinced that it should be duplicated and
preserved in some more enduring form, so asked if you would like to have it
to prhit. With this I send the first instalment -> 248 deaths — the record kept
by the Rev. Mr. Kingsbury.
I enclose some notes which may be used or not — ^jnst as yon please. As the
preservation of this little record is due to my father's thonghtf ulness and care,
I would be glad if you would mention him in connection with it.

It is interesting to note that two sons of Philip Rogers were to receive, un-
der Mrs. Staverde's will, the reversion of the New Inn at Chelmsford in Essex.
This malces the third family of Rogers that I have found connected with
Chelmsford, viz^ our famous New England family, descended from John Rog-

joiner, whose wills have both appeared in these Gleanings ; secondly a family of
Rogers of Stanford le Hope, Fobbing and Corringham, Essex, two members of

[I have no doubt that we have here the family of our Austin or Aug:ustine
EJlham who went to New England In the ship Mary Anne of Yarmouth, Wil-
liam Goose master, in the spring of 1637 (see Drake's Founders of New
England, page 49), in company with sundry others from Norwich, Yarmouth
and parts of Suffolk. I myself examined the list of passengers some years
ago, and made out a trifle more than Mr. Drake seems to have done. It reads
as follows (i.6. to my eyes) :

found (on f ol. 86) , among those admitted to the freedom of the city 80 January
30 Elizabeth, Augustine Kylham, Pjnncr, non apprenticius. This man must
have been of an earlier generation than our Augustin Kylham.
Among the Marriage Allegations (Bishop of London), I found, under date
July 1(?), 1628, that of Augusten Kellam of St. George, Botolph Lane, pin-
maker, a widower, aged about 66, and Ellen Clarke of St. Clemeut's, East
Cheap, widow, aged about 60, relict of Clarke, haberdasher, deceased,

Henry Killam and Alice Goodale were married at Dennington, Suffolk, Eng.,
12 Aug. 1682. Their eldest daughter Mary was baptized there 13 Aug. 1688, as
were other children of Henry Killam. There also is recorded the baptism of
Daniel, son of Austen Killam, In 1620. Henry Killam was buried 27 May, 1681.
Rev. John Ward was presented to the church of Dennington, Suffolk, in the
diocese of Norwich, by Sir John Rous in 1624, but 18 years afterwards, viz. in
1687, he was accused of simony, and superseded by Archbishop Laud, who pro-
cured a presentation from the King for Ezekiel Wright. Afterwards articles
were objected in the High Commission Court against Ward for the pretended
simony, although he denied knowledge of any corrupt practices. To free him-
self from a vexatious and chargeable suit, Ward, by advice of his counsel,
pleaded his Majesty's coronation pardon, and although the Archbishop took no-
tice thereof, yet it was ordered more than once that the cause should go on to
hearing, notwithstanding the said pardon, and in Midsummer Term 1638 the
Archbishop pronounced Ward slmonlacal and to be deprived of the benefice
worth £200 per annum. (Domestic State Papers, Charles I., vol. ccccxcix., 16.)
Ward was suspended by the Chancellor, a Commissioner of Bishop Wren then
Bishop of Norwich, because he would not read the second service at the Com-
munion Table set altarwise where few of his parish could hear. (Vol. cccc-
Ixxvi.) "Wednesday, 26th Day Jan. It was reported in the House of Com-
mons, that there were 62 Families of Norwich that went to New England, by
Bishop Wrens pressing their conscience with illegal oaths, ceremonies, obser-
vations and many strange innovations." ('' IHumall Occurrencesy or Daily
Proceedings of both Housest in this great and happy Parliament, from the third of
November, 1640, to the third of November 1641. London 1641,") Matthew
Wren, Bishop of Norwich, and later of Ely, through his persecution of the
Puritans, was persecuted in turn by them in the destruction of his records, of
which however some survive, and are stored In the muniment room of the Epis-
copal Palace, at Ely ; and the writer can testify to the extraordinary Industry
of Bishop Wren in his records and annotations during his short stay at Ely.
The immigration of Killam and others from the Norwich Diocese was doubt-
less caused by the zeal of Wrenn and his associates.
John Ward, bom about 1698, was youngest son of Rev. John Ward of Ha-

[Wortwell and Redenhall are adjoining parishes, or perhaps one and the same
parish, in the Southern Division of Norfolk (the nearest railway station being
Homersfleld) and Mendham is Just over the border in Suffollc. Wortwell was
probably the birthplace of a Thomas Fuller of New England, but of which
Thomas? The mention of his son John in 1645 leads me to think that must
have been Thomas Fuller of Dedham and not Thomas of Woburn and Salem
(Ue. Middleton).— Henry F. Waters.
Ralph Fuller, of Wortwell, whose will is given above, was evidently the
father of Thomas Fuller, an early settler of Dedham, Massachusetts. Both
Thomas Fuller of Woburn and Salem, and Thomas Fuller of Dedham, had sons
named John, but John son of the former was not born until March 1, 1655,
some years after the date of the testator's will, while John son of Thomas of
Dedham was bom November 1, 1644. This confirms Mr. Waters's opinion that
Thomas Fuller mentioned in the wills of Ralph and Robert was Thomas of
Dedham. Further evidence may be found in the Register, vol. 22, page 296, in
a letter from Benj. Corbyn, to his ** Lo. fft-e : Tho : fltaller of Dedham in New
England," dated Alburgh, 1 m. 14, 1677, in which he says: "How I wonder
sometime you have not sent for your five ^ especially considering Bro. Rob :
Allen came over." Alburgh is a parish adjoining both Redenhall and Wortwell.
Robert, son of Ralph, whose will follows that of the father, was baptized in
Topcroft near Wortwell, Aug. 21, 1604 (see Register, vol. 48, p. 345).—

[This must have been that William Cockerum or Cockerham of Hingham
(Mass.) who had the dispute with William Cockerell, also of Hingham, about
some land which Cockerell claimed had been assigned and allotted to him In
1637, but which he was hindered from using and enjoying by the defendant,
Cockerham. Somewhere In the Suffolk Registry of Deeds will be found a
deed made by tho testator of the above will conveying land in Hingham to his
son William. William Corkerell, I suspect, removed to Salem. At least there
was one of that name there who left some daughters, one of whom, Hannah,

daughter Christian was the wife of Robert Bray. Many Salemites are de-

[The above will was not indexed in the Calendar. Nor was it registered. I

To this family of Yonges undoubtedly belonged John, Joseph and Christopher
Yonges or Youngs of Salem. Some mention of them will probably be found
in the Essex Institute Historical Proceedings (Salem). Christopher, I think,
removed to Wen ham, and one or both of the other two, I believe, removed to
Southold. In Salem, I associate them with the lower part of the town, say
about the neighborhood of English, Webb and Derby Streets. I have not my
notes at hand or I could speak more definitely of the whereabouts of their lots.
I have found the family mentioned occasionally in the wills of the Prerogative
Court.— H. F. Waters.
Christopher Young of Wenham, Mass., left a will dated 9 June, 1647. He
directs his three children to be sent to their native country, Great Yarmouth,
Norfolk, England. But our court decided otherwise. He names father-in-law
Bichard Elvin of Gt. Yarmouth, and his wife to whom he bequeaths his two
daughters ; his son to John Phillips of Wenham ; sisters the wives of Joseph
Young and Thomas Moore. His children are Sarah, Mary, Christopher. (The
latter bapt. 1644.) Esdras Reed of Wenham, Wm. Brown of Salem, and the
wife of Joseph Young, executors.
The son Christopher, I suppose, married Mary Budd, and had sons Christo-
pher and John. The younger Christopher of Southold was son of Rev. John
Young, the pastor there, and born in America.
Margaret, the daughter of the Rev. Christopher Youngs of Beydon, in Suf-
folk, married Capt. Joseph Youngs of Salem and Southold.
Christopher Youngs, sr., was of Southold in 1656. In 1637 "John Yonge
of St. Margretts Suffolk, minister ageed 85 yeares and Joan his wife ageed 84
yeares with 6 children, John The, Anne, Rachell, Marey and Joseph" were
examined being '* desirous to passe to Salam into New England to inhabit."
(Mass. Hist. Coll., 4th Series, vol. 1, p. 101.) His passage was forbidden, and
when he did come his wife was named Mary. See Thompson's Long Island.
He died 1672 set. 74.
The statements of Thompson and Griffin must be accepted with caution.
Probably the entire connection of these Southold and Salem Youngs can be
worked out from these wills and the Essex County records, Salem, and South-
old records.— Ebkn Putnam.]

[These Kembold and Skott wills (as well as the other Norfolk and Suffolk

right track by giving him these notes, all except the will of Robert Whotlock
(brother of Martha Scott), which by some oversight I did not notice when I
was going over my collection with a view to help him. It was this very Martha
Scott who, with her son Thomas Scott and her daughter Ursula Kembold or

April, 1634, in the Elizabeth, William Andrews master, from the port of Ipswich

[I was utterly amazed, on looking over my past Gleanings recently, to find

The testator was the widow of Henry Sewall, mayor of Coventry In 1689
and 1606, and was the daughter of Avery Grazebrook, of Mlddleton, Co. War-
vrlck. Her husband died 16 April, 1628, and both are burled In St. Michael's,
Coventry. The son Henry was the grandfather of Chief Justice Samuel Sew-
all, and settled at Newbury till 5 Aug. 1646, when he conveyed his farm at
•* Newberry falls River" to his son Henry and went to Rowley, where he died
in 1667. His troubles with his wlff (Mass. Records, vol. 1, pp. 162, 286), and
with others of the church In Rowley In 1660, were perhaps repetitions of his
behavior to his family In England.

[The Visitation of Essex 1634 shows that the testatrix was a daughter of
John Skory, Bishop of Hereford, and the wife of Giles Aleyn of Haseleigh,
son of Christopher Aleyn of London and nephew of Sir John Aieyn the Lord
Mayor. Her eldest daughter Rebecca seems to have been the wife, first, of
Thomas Kevili of Stocke in Essex (see Pedigree on page 834, Visitation of Es-
sex 1634), and afterwards a Bali. Her daughter Mary was married to
William Coys, Esq. (see Coys Pedigree in Visitation of Essex 1612, page
184). Their children, as given In this Pedigree, were Giles, Matthew, Daniel,
William and Edward Coys (five sons), and three daughters, Martha, Sarah and
Mary. These were probably the eight children of *• daughter Coys" referred
to in the will. It seems reasonable to infer that the *' niece" ('i.e. grand
daughter) Martha GrifQn was one of these daughters of William and Mary Coys
and "niece" (i.e. grand daughter) Sara Chauncey was another, the latter be-
ing that god daughter referred to as having married Walter Chauncey. We had
a Matthew Coy or Coys in New England, and I recollect reading some deposi-
tions (I think in the State House at Boston) about the coming down to Lon-
don (I believe) of this Matthew and a brother, and their taking passage or be-
ing carried over to New England.
Anne Aleyn, the third danghter of this testatrix, as given in the Pedigree,
was the wife of Henry Chauncey of Yardley, Herts, (see Visitation of Herts.
1684, page 39), eldest son of George Chauncey (called of Gedleston, Herts, in
the Pedigree, but of Barking, Essex, according to his own will). Our Charles
Chauncey, the President of Harvard College, was half brother to Henry Chaun-
cey of Yardley, being one of the sons of George Chauncey by a second wife.
The testatrix refers to " my daughter Chauncey's two sons." These were pro-
bably Henry and John Chauncey, the former of whom was the father of Sir
Henry Chauncey or Cbauncy, the well-known historian of Hertfordshire. I
have a number of wills relating to this family which I hope to publish some-
time or other. While the late Mr. Reginald Ames was making his collection
of notes about this family I used to give him what I found. Since his death I
have gathered other notes.— Hbnby F. Waters.]

[Some one in Boston may be able to tell us more about this Thomas Brom-

nephew of the first Edward Bromfield of Boston. This family, it may be well
to state, gave name to Bromfield street in Boston.

Arthur Bromfield, grandfather of our first Edward, had been the widow of

Thomas Kempe and daughter of Sir William Oglander, and that her daughter
by the first match, Frances Kempe, became the wife of Henry Bromfleld and
mother of Edward Bromfleld of Boston.
The first wife of Arthur Bromfleld and apparently the mother of all his chil>
dren, seems to have been Lucy Quinby, daughter of Edward and Jane Qninby
of Allington in Hampshire, the husband evidently belonging to a family of
Quinby settled in Farnham, Surrey. From this match sprang Quinby Brom-

SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF JOHN GARDNER
WHITE, A.M.
By F&ANCI8 Beach White, A.M., of Cambridge.
J. Gardner White was boro in Boston, February 23, 1833. He was
of the seventh generation of his family in America, the line running : Ed-
ward^ (settled in Dorchester, Mass., 1635), James," Edward,* Edward,*
Ebenezer,* Ferdinand Elliot*. His mother was Dorothy Hancock Gard-
ner, whose ancestors were Richard^ (settled in Woburn, Mass., 1642),
Henry,* Rev. John,* Rev. Francis,* John,* of Leominster. She was
named for her great aunt Dorothy Quincy, the wife of John Hancock, and
she passed most of her youth at Boston in the care of her aunt, at this
time, by a second marriage, Madame Scott. Here she married Ferdinand
Elliot White, a prominent Boston merchant, as his second wife, on the 8th
January, 1826. At their home on Mt Vernon Street was bom their fifth
child, the subject of this sketch, the elder of twin sons.
Gardner White inherited and acquired from both his parents graces and
cultivation which marked him through life. He was noted for peculiarly
fascinating manners, and had sympathy with a wide variety of intellectual
interests ; he possessed the ease and charm of the ^^ man of the world " in
conjunction with rare highmindedness. These qualities together rendered
him an ideal gentleman.
He was fitted for college at the Boston Latin School. His half-brother,
the Rev. Ferdinand Elliot White, Jr. (Harvard, class of 1835), from his
interest in Trinity College, at Hartford (then under the presidency of Rev.
Dr. John Williams, now Presiding Bishop), used his infiuence to send
Gardner there. Thither, accordingly, he went in 1850, and became a
member of the class of 1854. He soon became one of the most popular
and infiuential men in college ; and his ability won him distinction in his
studies, as his personal attractiveness did among his fellows.
In 1857 he received the degree Master of Arts.
Upon graduating he was offered a civil engineer's position on the survey
for the projected Florida Railroad, and went to Pensacola, which was his
headquarters during the prosecution of the survey. He found much that
was enjoyable in t^e threading of the wilderness, at times a difiicult but
always an interesting life. Upon the completion of the preliminary sur-
vey he returned to the North, and decided to enter upon a business career.
He took a position in the banking house of Brown Brothers at Boston,
from which he withdrew before long to form the partnership of White &
Howe, which controlled mines in the Provinces.
On June 26, 1862, Mr. White married Mary, daughter of the late Greoige

Beach of Hartford, Conn., for many years President of the Phoenix Bank
in that city. •
In 1863 he bought the house No. 6 Phillips Place, in Cambridge, which
continued to be his home till death.
About ten years later he retired from business, but circumstances led
him to enter active life again, and for the last fifteen years of his life he
was an agent at Boston of the house of Beach & Company, importers of
dye stuffs and chemicals.
During his residence in Boston he was a member of the Boston Cadets.
He served with them at Fort Warren in 1862, at that time holding a first
lieutenancy. .
He engaged actively in charitable and ecclesiastical work about Boston
for many years, instituting measures of reformation in the slums, and es-
tablishing missions of the Episcopal Church in the outskirts of the city,
with a small group of similarly ardent men. He was gifted with powerful
influence over the poor, and waa much beloved by those with whom he put "
himself in contact. He concentrated his attention about 1870 upon the
Mission of the Ascension in East Cambridge, to which he continued a de-
voted friend through Ufe, and which he saw grow to a flourishing parish.
During the first half of his residence at Cambridge he attended Christ
Church, of which parish he was long a warden. Later he attended St.
John's Chapel. In 1886 he was elected to the Board of Visitors of the
Episcopal Theological School at Cambridge, and served on it until his
death.
When the Boston Association of the Alumni of his college was organ-
ized, he was elected its President, and held the oflice until his resignation
in 1896.
He was a member and officer in other associations too numerous to men-
tion, social, philanthropic and learned.
Mr. White's connection with the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society began with his election to membership in 1858. He became a Life
Member in 1866. He was a Director from 1878 to 1889. He also served
ably on standing and special committees. He became a member of the Com-
mittee on Memorials in 1878, and remained on this committee till his
death. From 1878 to 1883 he was its Secretary, and he edited the first
two volumes, and a part of the third, of the lowne Memorial Biographies.
In the Litroduction to the fourth volume, Mr. Dean writes : " The first
Secretary, John Gardner White, A.M., was eminently fitted for inaugurat-
ing the work and securing the cooperation of authors specially qualified
for writing the various memoirs. To him the success of the undertaking
is in a great measure due." He contributed to these volumes the memoirs
of Samuel Sumner Wilde [vol. ii.], Rev. John Frederick Schroeder [vol.
iii.], and Charles Edward Griswold [vol. v.].
Mr. White was widely read, especially in Latin literature, of which he
was very fond; and he wrote with taste and elegance, both prose and
verse, but only very occasionally.
He enjoyed remarkable good health throughout his life. His last illness
was sudden, and severe from the first ; after ten days, nearly painless, he
passed quietly away, on the 7th September, 1896. He was buried in the
family lot in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, at the side of his parents.
His only daughter died in childhood ; he left a widow, and three sons :
Eev. Greenough White, A.M. (Harvard), B.D. (E. T. S.), Professor of
Ecclesiastical History at the University of the South; Francis Beach
White, A.M. (Harvard), and Frederick Clement White.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
Harward of Southwark.— Any reference to the family of John Harrard
is full of interest, so no apology is required for giving the following note :
Nichols's Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica» Vol. yiii., contains an
article on ** The Manor of the Maze, in St. Olave's, Southwark." On page
260 are given " Extracts from the Court Rolls of the Manor of th/e Maze." This
is dated 2 June, 1661, when John Weston was Lord of the Manor in right of
his wife. A list of " Tenentes llberi " is given, ending with Thomas Harward.
Then follows "Homagiu' Ss.~Joh*es Rawlinson, Bennett Hull, Jur*. Thos. Har-
ward." Further on occurs the following entry: " Cogn*.— Ad hanc Cur*

Thomas Harward,/
Mr. Waters in his Gleanings in the Reoibter (vol. xxxix. p. 279) gives the
will of Thomas Harvard of St. Olaves, Southwark, and in vol. xl. p. 371, are
quotations from the Feet of Fines relative to tenements in the same parish.
Possibly these refer to the places which are mentioned above; if so these
notes will help to identify them. Perhaps some one more familiar with the
valuable matter turned up by the careful study of Mr. Waters may be able to
tell whether the John Harward mentioned in the quotations I have given above,
who held the tenements in 1631, was or was not the John Harvard of ever-
precious memory. (Mrs.) Frakcbs B. Troup.

Roy ALL THK Loyalist.— In turning over the pages of Nichols' Collectanea
Topographica et Genealogica, Vol. viii., I came upon a description of the
Church of Froyle, Hampshire, and on page 216 I noted the following:
*' In the Churchyard, on the south side, are railed monuments to the memory
of Isaac Royall, Esq. late of Medford, in New Bngland, who died
Oct. 16, 1781, aged 62, as also of his daughter Mary Mcintosh, wife of George
Erving, late of Boston, in New England, Esq. died Nov. 11, 1786, aged 42."
It in also mentioned that in the chancel of Froyle church there are seven
achievements, one bearing the arms of Pepperell, with the arms of Royall on
an escocheon of pretence. In a note it is stated that this Is ** the achievement of
Sir William Pepperell, Bart. He was Governor of New England, and married
one of the daughters and coheirs of Isaac Royall, Esq. of New England, but
of a Scotch family. Lady Pepperell's mother was a coheiress of the Highland
family of M'Intosh. The wife of W. Congreve, Esq. of Aldermaston, co.
Series, was a daughter of Sir William Pepperell."
In Vol. xxxix of the RsaiSTBR is an account of the <*New England Roy-
alls," in which it is stated, page 356, that '* Isaac Royall died of the small-pox
in England in October, 1781," but no place of burial is given.
It is also there asserted that his daughter Mary Mcintosh, wife of George Er-
ving, was born 10 Jan. 1744-5, and, on the authority of Sabine, that she died in
1806, unless I have misread this statement, which may be that George Erving

died that year. However, it may be mentioned that the age given on her tomb-
stone almost tallies with her age at the date given for her death.
I notice that Drake, in his *» Historic Fields and Mansions of Middlesex,"
refers to a petition of Col. Royallto be permitted to return home in 1789, which
would be eight years after his death. (Mrs.) Francbs B. Troup.

West. — An early settler on Martha's Vineyard was Thomas West, who came
to the island about 1676, and resided in the town of Tisbury. He deposes in
June, 1677, aged 31 years, which would make his birth 1646 or thereabouts
(Dukes Deeds, i., 8). He was evidently a practitioner of medicine and a man

of education, as be bequeathed his " surgical Instruments" to a son In his will,
and I believe him to be the Thomas West who Is spoken of in the Court records
of the Vineyard as *' the Kings Slissiter " (Solicitor) in 1688, and as *' their Msr-
jestles Attorney" in 1689 (Dukes Court Records, vol. i). His will, dated Janu-
ary 15. 1697-8, and proved November 28, 1716, opens up an interesting question.
He mentions a son Sackfleld West, to whom he makes a bequest. This son
afterwanls removed to Yarmouth, on the Cape, and later to Barnstable, where
he died, leaving descendants. Sackfleld is evidently a form of Sackyllle, which
Is one of the family names of the English family of the De la Warr Wests, so
prominent in the early colonization schemes of Virginia. Sir Thomas, Baron
de la Warr, was Captain General of all the Colonies In Virginia, 1609, and his
younger brother, Francis, born October 28, 1586, was Governor of Virginia in
1627, and It will be remembered that he had been previously Admiral of New
England, four years before. It is a tradition in the family of West of Martha's
Vineyard that their ancestor Thomas was a son of Francis, the Admiral and
Governor, but this Is manifestly incorrect, although It may be a tradition that
will repay examination In other lines of descent from cadet branches of the
Sack vlUe- West family. This tradition Is given space in the recently published
Daggett Genealogy, in connection with an Intermarriage of the two families on
the Vineyard, wltho«t endorsement, however. Suggestions upon this problem
are requested. It Is further said that he came to Tlsbury from Plymouth,
Mass., and one correspondent states that he was the son of Francis West and
Margeiy Reeves. He had sons Abner (eldest), Thomas, Peter, Sackfleld and
Judah. Thomas and Peter remained In Tlsbury, Sackfleld removed to the Cape,
and Judah went to Plymouth where he married and had many children.

NORTON.—In formation wanted about Dr. Oliver E. Norton and his ancestry
In male and female lines. He was born in or near Boston, but is said to have
been living In New York state In 1800. He practised medicine for half a cen-
tury. His eldest son Dr. William Shepard Norton is said by some to have
been bom In Massachusetts In 1804, and by others to have been bom at Easton,
N. Y., In 1796. Dr. William Norton studied medicine with his father, and at
the Casleton School 1823. Ho practised medicine for forty years. Toward the
end of his life he certainly lived at Fort Edward, but it has been stated that
before going to Fort Edward permanently he practised in Albany as medical
partner of Dr. March and as professor in the Castleton School of Medicine
which was removed to Albany. At any rate Dr. William Norton married Kath-
arine Marie Finn, daughter of William Finn, Esq., of Fort Edward, on April 2,
1826. In 1848 he was elected permanent member of the Medical Society of the
State of New York, having previously served as delegate from Washington
county. In 1857, on recommendation of the State Society the Regents of the
University conferred upon him the honorary degree of M.D. He contributed
numerous ai'ticles to various medical, literary and educational journals. He
died at Fort Edward, Feb. 20, 1863, and was there burled. Dr. William Norton
had sisters named Anne Bradstreet Norton and Lucy Winthrop Norton, and he
is said to have been related in the families of Bradstreet, Winthrop, Eliot,
Shepard, Law and Oliver. Dr. William Norton's son, Dr. John Finn Norton,
was a surgeon in the U. S. navy during and after the ClvU War. If the story
Is true that Dr. Oliver Norton's father was a physician, this family has the un-
usual record of Ave generations of physicians.

Bbown—Bylbs.— Mather Brown, the painter of the portrait of Jefferson for

the family record given in his Bible. This register of births also mentions the
following children, brothers and sisters of Zachariah: Ephraim, Lydia, Han-

give the marriage of Nathan Eddy to Eunice Sampson, Nov. 17, 1757, and men-
tion all their children, as stated in the Bible, with the exception of Zachariah,
whose name is not recorded. Tradition says that he was a native of Plymouth
County, Mass., and that the family removed to Sherbum, Vermont, about 1778,
the year of his birth. It is therefore possible that his birth record was not
given to the Middleboro* town clerk. The name Zachariah Eddy, I may add,

Lakb. — ^May I ask in your pages for any Information regarding the descen-
dants of Thomas and Jolin Lake, both of Boston, the half brothers of Sir
Edward Lake, Bart., of Lincoln. Both of them have been frequently men-
tioned in the Bboistbr, the former being one of the leading men of that time
in Boston. The second, John Lake, I have always looked upon as one of my
ancestors, but as there was apparently at that time more than one John Lake
in Boston, he is difficult to identify. I do not think he can be the one who
married Mary Coy, as, according to Savage, their issue died out after one
generation.

The Harleian Society.— The annual meeting of this society was held in the
Council Room at 140 Wardour street, London, W., on the 28th of January, Lord
Amherst of Hackney in the chair. The report of the society stated that there
were three hundred and thirty members, of whom one hundred and eighty-one
subscribed to the Register section. During the year 1897 this society has issued
three volumes to its members : (1) V The Visitations of Cambridgeshire in
1676 and 1619," under the editorship of Mr. J. W. Clay, F.S.A. ; (2) *• The Reg-
isters of Durham Cathedral from the commencement in 1609 to the end of
1896,** fully annotated by the late Captain E. A. White, F.S.A. , under the edi-
torship of the Honorary Secretary, Mr. Armytage, F.S.A., — this volume was
dedicated to the Queen by Her Majesty's gracious permission ; and (3) the con-
cluding volume of ** The Registers of St. Greorge, Hanover Square, to the end
of June 1837," when the Civil Registration Act came into force, also edited by
the Honorary Secretary, Mr. Armytage. '
The society contemplates issuing for 1898, ** The Visitation of Kent in 1619,"
or one of the Hampshire Visitations, and also '* The Early Registers of St.
Martin's in the Fields."
Sir Charles Stuart Rich, F.S.A., Dr. Colby, F.S.A., and Mr. Thomas Brooke,
F.S.A., were re-elected on the council.
The society is doing good work, and issuing its publications punctually.
During the twenty-eight years of its existence it has issued sixty-five volumes
of Heralds' Visitations, Marriage Licenses, Cathedral and Parish Registers,
and other works relating to Heraldry, Genealogy and Family History.
Farrar's Indexes. — ^We have received an advance copy of ** Index to Irish

business in New York, but upon the death of his partner, returned to Boston.
When the Hill Manufacturing Company, of Lewiston, Maine, Tvas Incorporated
he was chosen as treasurer, and held the same office continuously for f orty-Ave
years until his death. To this position he brought an excellent business capac-
ity, sound judgment and an integrity which was never questioned. His man-
agement was followed by deserved success. As a citizen Mr. Richardson was
always faithful to his obligations, but never sought nor held public office. His
Interest in New England and Boston was manifested by his membership in this,
as well as in the Bostonlan Society. Of his private life it is needless to speak ;
for here, as in all the relations of life, he was faithful, and in his home and
family, with the society of intimate friends he found his happiness. An up-
right man, a good citizen, a kind and indulgent father, a firm friend, his loss
will long be felt and his memory warmly cherished by all who enjoyed his ac-
quaintance or friendship. Mr. Richardson was married in 1849 to Mary, only
child of Homer Bartlett of Lowell and Boston, and left as surviving issue
three sons. R.

Smithson. Many students have there received training for their future Ufe
work, have there acquired knowledge and (more than this) deep and lasting
stimulus and incentive to further Investigation and research, even an abiding
enthusiasm for learning. A list of the writers of the different chapters of this
work comprises many men eminent for their scholarship. This noble Institu-
tion stands for education, one of the pillars on which our great republic rests.
We lay stress (and rightly) on a free ballot and a free press, but we sometimes
forget that these precious privileges are almost valueless without education ;
this Is the great basis on which liberty rests. As long as the people are edu-
cated, as long as they are taught to think and act for themselves (above all to
seek truth) so long will our government remain well grounded and secure. A
great Institution of learning should offer many elective courses of study (like
Harvard University, for instance,) should encourage speculation, individual
study and research, not always along a beaten path, but according to the bent of
each student who there seeks knowledge. But the student should ever be faith-
ful and reverent, should ever keep truth for his guide, should ever make that
the loadstar, the goal of all his striving. To the thoughtful student, life (with
all its deep problems) presents continuous and countless opportunities for edu-
cation. And all education should tend towards the ideal, for that is the true
end and aim of life. And all so called practical achievements (whether in the
material or Intellectual domain) are of value only as we idealize them and make
them contribute to the higher life. Life is more than meat and raiment, more
even than the acquirement of knowledge, It Is (In so far as we earnestly strive
to live It rightly) progress, unending progress, in things moral, in things spirit-
ual, in things eternal.
By Daniel BollinSt Esq., of Bo9U>n,
A HUtory of the Plantation of Menunkatuck and of the Original Town of Guil-
ford, Connecticut 1 comprising the present towns of Guilford and Madison. Writ-
ten largely from the manuscripts of the Hon. Ralph DuNNma Smyth, by
Bernard Christian Stbiner. Published by the Author. Baltimore. 1897.
8vo. pp. 6S8. Price $4.
This work was announced by us in April of last year. It furnishes a tho-
rough history of the ancient town of Guilford. Dr. Steiner gives a list of the
previous histories of that town, the first of which was a sketch of its history by
Thomas Ruggles, Jr. , printed over a century ago. In 1827 Dr. David Dudley Field
prepared a sketch of the history of Guilford and Madison for the Connecticut
Academy of Arts and Sciences, using Mr. Buggles's work as a basis. In 1832,
he revised it. '* About 1840, this sketch was revised and enlarged by R. D.
Smyth. After Mr. Smyth's death [In 1874, see Register, vol. 29, p. 326] this
manuscript was found among his papers by his son-in-law, Hon. Lewis H.
Steiner, edited by him and published by Munsell In 1877."
The origin of the book before us Is thus given In the preface by Dr. Steiner :
*' Among my grandfather's papers were considerable collections of materials he
had intended to use for a history of Guilford. Among these was a fragment
of a complete history of the town written by Mr. Smyth shortly before his death.
This forms with some changes the first four chapters of the present work and
a part of the fifth. It Is probable that I should have written part of it some-
what differently, but it seemed best to permit this record of his ripened knowl-
edge of Guilford history to remalil without essential change. The rest of the
book was prepared from Mr. Smyth's manuscript collections, the town records
and other available sources. Owing to the extensive materials at hand, it is be-
lieved the work is to a considerable degree exhaustive and complete." The
compiler has acted wisely In printing Judge Smyth's history without essential
change.
Dr. Steiner deserves much praise for the thorough manner in which he has
done his work on this book, and the inhabitants and natives of Guilford owe
him a debt of gratitude.

In 1894, a series of reprints of Early American Poetry was begun. The first
issued was New England's Crisis, by Benjamin Tompson. The second, in 1895,
was New England or a brief enarration of the Ayre, Earth, Water, Fish and
Fowles of the Country. The third in 1896, was A Poem and Elegy by Cotton
Mather. The fourth in 1896, Elegies and Epitaphs, 1677-1717.
The volume before us is the fifth of the series of Early American Poetry.
It is the first book of poetry printed in Connecticut. It is entitled: " Poeti-
cal Meditations being the Improvement of Vacant Hours. By Roger Wolcott,
Esq. With a Preface By the Revered Mr. Bulkley of Colchester. New Lon-
don, Printed and Sold by T. Green, 1725."
The author of this book, Roger Wolcott, was a governor of Connecticut as
were his son and grandson. He was a grandson of Henry Walcott, who came
to New England in 1680, and became the ancester of a distinguished family. He
was great great grandfather of Hon. Roger Wolcott, the present governor of
Massachusetts.
The poems are reproduced page for page and line for line, and the title page
is a photographic facsimile. The Club is doing good service to the lovers of
ancient books by these reproductions.
Original Documents relating to the Life and Administration of William Burnet^
Governor of New York and New Jersey, 1720-1728, and of\Massachusetts and
New Hampshire, 1728-1729. Compiled by William Nelson. Paterson,
N. J. : The Press Printing and Publishing Co., 269 Main St. 1897. 8vo.
Mr. Nelson has done a good service in collecting and printing the documents
in this volume. In his preface, the compiler says : ** The personal character-
istics of Governor William Burnet were so prominent that the student of his
public career is led to desire to know more of his private life. His dual admin-
istration of New York and New Jersey, and later of Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, was an interesting experiment in Provincial and Colonial govern-
ment."
The volume contains Funeral Sermons on Governor Burnet's wife and himself
from contemporary MS.coples in thelibrary of the New Jersey Historical Society ;
the will and Inventory of Governor Burnet; two poems on Governor Burnet's
arrival at Boston in 1728, one by Rev. Mather Byles, and the other anonymous ;
and other writings showing his personal and political character. The book
makes a handsome volume.

This is an exact reprint of what the late Charles Deane, LL.D., calls in his
preface to the Prince Society's edition, '* the earliest topographical account,
worthy to be so entitled, of the Massachusetts Colony. It was first printed in
1634, and other editions were printed in 1635 and 1639. A century and a quarter
later, an edition was printed at Boston, Massachusetts, by Thomas and John
Fleet, with an introductory essay and footnotes. A century later, in 1865, the
Prince Society issued an edition as one of their publications. It has a Preface
by the late Dr. Charles Deane, and a reprint of the essay prefixed to the 1764
edition.
The present edition has been issued by Hon. Eben Moody Boynton, of West
Newbury, Mass. He has conferred a benefit on New England people, as the
Prince Society's edition has for some years been out of print. The work is
now made accessible to the general public. Mr. Boynton has prefixed an in-

Cisco, Cal. 8vo. pp. 45. 1897. Price $1.
This little book is a very carefaliy prepared genealogical record of one sec-
tion of tills old New England family. It gives a sketch of John Wincbester
and his settlement at Hingham, Mass., In 1685, and later at Muddy River where
his descendants lived for many generations. After giving an account of the
early members of the family, the anthor follows the record of all those who
descend from one of the early members.
The work Is well arranged and goes into much detail, giving dates of btiths,
deaths and marriages and the civil and military records of all those whose names
appear, and the book will undoubtedly be of great interest to those who are of
the Winchester blood.
Mr. Fresson has done his work in an admirable way, and deserves credit for
the accuracy of his dates and facts, considering that he lives and works so far
away from the orighial records.
It is to be hoped that other members of the Winchester family, which start-
ing from New England has spread to all parts of this country, will take pattern
from this work, and print the records and sketches of all the branches of tbe
family. ^* ^

Mr. Bolton, who, when this book was published, was librarian of the Public
Library of Brookline, Is now librarian of the Bodton Athenaeum, which posi-
tion has been held by some able librarians, such as William F. Poole, Charles
A. Cutter, and lastly by William C. Lane, now Harvard's librarian.
** As an Important residence district,'* says the author in his Preface, ** in
one of the oldest, wealthiest and largest centres of the population of the
United States, Brookline must always have a certain claim to distinctl<m, much
like that of Belgraria In London." Of this " favored town,** Mr. Bolton has
given us an Interesting history, from the settlement of '* Muddy River " to the
present time. The arrangement of the book is chronological. Besides a re-
cord of important events that have occurred In this town, showing its social,
religious, industrial and Hterary history, the anthor does not neglect the geol-
ogy, botany and ornithology of Brookline. The volume is Illustrated with ftne
engravings of ancient and modem buildings. A map showing the larger t)r}g-
inal allotments, with the 'toooks, hills, etc., accompanies the book. It Is well
indexed.

This volsme preterves the biography of the members of the class of 1872 of
Brown IJatversity. In 1887, the 'fifteenth atnnlvergsry of the graduation of the
class, a class book was printed, and now when a quarter of a century and more
has been completed, this elegant volume appears. One feature of the book de-
serves special notice. Two portraits are given, one in 1872, the year of gradu-
ation, and another in 1897, showing the changes that time has made In the
features of each member of the class. This volume and its predecessor pre-
serve the history and biography of the class in good form. The typography
and the engravings are excellent, and the book is handsomely bound. Other
college classes can learn something by examining this book. The compUer,
William Vail Kellen, class secretary, has done his work admirably.

We continue In this number onr quarterly notices of genealogical worlLS re-
cently published.
The first book on the list, the Adams Genealogy, Is a bulky volume ot over
twelve hundred pages. It Is the first attempt to give a full genealogy of all the
descendants of Henry Adams of Bralntree. Partial genealogies are printed
In the Thayer Memorial, Morse's Sherbom, Prof. Herbert Baxter Adams's
History of the Adams and Hastings families, and In other works. The Ap
Adam pedigree which was printed in the Bbqisteb for Jan., 1863, from a copy
furnished by the late William Downing Bruce, F.S.A. (whose necrology may
be found in the Register, vol. 86, page 418), Is briefly printed, but not en-
dorsed. Mr. Bruce evidently gave too much credit to an old pedigree with
modern additions. The descendants of John Adams of Cambridge, Mass.,
who has been supposed by some to be a son of Henry Adams of Bralntree, are
appended. " The book," says the author, '* has been prepared at a great out-
lay of both time and money, the material having been drawn from many wide-
ly scattered sources dlfllcult of access.'* Mr. Adams deserves the thanks of the
family for his persevering labor on the book, and is ta be congratulated on the
results of his labor. The book Is well printed and indexed, and is Illustrated
with twenty-two engravings, chiefly portraits.
The next book, The Cheney Family, by Rev. Mr. Pope, Is highly creditable to
the author. He has gathered his material with great industry, has compiled It
with much care and has through the liberality of wealthy members of the family
been able to Issue the work In a handsome volume, a fine specimen of the typo-
graphic art. The wide circle of connections of the generous givers, w^hose ex-
ample Is worthy of Imitation, are Indebted to them for the elegant style ia
which their family record is preserved. The author has visited England, and
has gathered the records of many prominent families In the mother country
which he prints in his Introduction. The American family Is well traced. The
volume Is divided into two parts ; the first gives the descen^uts of William
Cheney, who settled at Roxbury as early as 1640, and the second gives descen-
dants of John Cheney who came to New England la 1685^ and after a short
stay In Roxbury removed to Newbury. Tabular pedigrees of each of the two
lines are given. The book is well indexed.
The Leflangwell Record Is a handsome volume printed on thick laid paper and
illustrated with numerous fine portraits. The book is devoted to the descend-
ants of Llent. Thomas Lefflngwell of Norwich, Ct., who caaie to this coootcy
as early as 1687. A very satisfactory record of the emigrant ancestor has
been compiled. An account of the English LefflngweUs is prefixed. The an-
Digitized by VjOOQIC

thors tell ns that <* the Lefflngwell Record has a somewhat eventf al history.
Nearly thirty years since the late Rer. E. B. Hnntington began the collection of
memoranda regarding the posterity of oar common ancestor, Thomas Lefflng-
'well. The work seems to have made bnt slow progress, yet it wonld undoubt-
edly have been published many years since, had not the anthor been struck down
by apoplexy. For many years the manuscript was apparently lost.'* Luckily it.
came into the hands of the present compilers, who have completed the work,
and now it appears in print. It has a good index.
The next work, the Batchelder Genealogy, is a book similar in size, style
and arrangement to the Whitney and Fiske genealogies recently published by
Col. Pierce, and reviewed in the Kboistkr, vols. 50, pp. 148-9, and 51, pp. 98,
96. This volume is as fully illustrated and as well indexed as his former
works. Besides a very full account of the American families, the author has
dwelt at length upon the life and character of Bev. Stephen Bachiler, the
origin of the surname, the heraldiy of the family and the military services and
academic achievements of American Batchelders.
The Fitts or Fitz Genealogy, which comes next on our list, is another book
whose typographical appearance deserves commendation. A chapter Is given
on the origin of the name and some records of the family in England. The
American families to which this volume is devoted are arranged together in a
table or tabulated form, after which fuller biographical details are printed. We
find no evidence of a connection with Robert Fitts or Fitz, one of the original
settlers of Salisbury, Mass., 1688, a genealogy of whose descendants by Rev.
James Hill Fitts was published in 1869. The present volume is embellished
with fine portraits and is well indexed.
The Hord Family is an elegant volume. Part 1, pp. 18 to 60, is devoted to the
Hord Family in England ; part 2, pp. 61 to 179, contains the Hord Family in
America. The American genealogy Is "• enlarged from the manuscript of Rob-
ert Hord of ' Shady Grove,' near Port Royal, Caroline County, Virginia, Anno
Domini 1838." The emigrant ancestor was John Hord, an English gentleman,
born in Ewell, England, Dec. 29, 1664, came to Virginia in 1685, purchased a
large tract of land on the Rappahannock river, which he named Shady Grove,
and where he died. The record of the family is well compiled, the details be-
ing full and precise. Ijt is illustrated by many fine portraits and views. It is
well indexed.
The Doremus Genealogy is by William Nelson, A.M., corresponding secretary
of the New Jersey Historical Society and the editor of some of the most valu-
able publications of that society. His wife, Mrs. Sarah Williams Doremus
Nelson, was of that family, and he dedicates this volume to her as a record of
her ancestry and kinsfolk. Comelis Doremus, the emigrant ancestor, was
'* from Breskens and Mlddelburg, in Holland, who embarked to America about
1685-6 and settled Acquakunonk (now Paterson), New Jersey." The book,
like all of Mr. Nelson's works, shows evidence of great care and thoroughness
in its preparation. It is embellished with a portrait of the compiler, and other
engravings, portraits, views of buildings, autographs, and a "map of Welch-
erin and vicinity in Holland, showing whence came Comelis Doremus and
Jannetje Joris van Elseland his wife." The book has a good index.
The next genealogy, ** The Goodwin Families of America," by Judge Good-
win, is published as a Supplement to William and Mary College Quarterly, edited
by President Lyon G. Tyler, LL.D., of that ancient college. The principal ar-
ticle Is devoted to the ** York County, Virginia, Goodwins, which family is well
traced, besides which a number of appendixes are given, each devoted to a dif-
ferent family in various parts of the country. The editor, Pres. Tyler, adds
valuable genealogical and historical notes on the York County Goodwins. Ac-
knowledgment is made to Mr. James J. Goodwin of Hartford, Conn., without
whose pecuniary assistance this publication would probably not have been
mi|de. The liberality of Mr. Goodwin has been shown in his contributions to
enable Mr. Waters to continue his English Gleanings which have been printed
in the Rsqister. The work before us contains a valuable mass of genealogical
matter. It Is well compiled, well indei^ed and well printed.
The Memorial of the Whitney Family, or a Watertown Farm in Eight Gen-
erations, is a facsimile reproduction of the author's manuscript, made by the
blue-print process. Nine copies were made for libraries, of which the library
of the New-England Historic Genealogical. Society is one^ Besides this,

the author distributed to Individuals twenty-live pamphlets being abridged
copies of this book. The book consists of ten chapters, with a title pa^e,
contents and index. The author is William H. Whitney, whose address is 15
Court Street, Boston.
The next volume, the Roulhac Family, is a well-compiled genealogy of &
North Carolina family of French origin, which settled in this country in the
last century. Miss Prescott, the compiler, in her Introduction, says: "The
greater part of this book is copied from the manuscript memoirs of Francis
L. G. Roulhac, to which I have added bits of information gleaned from old
letters, Bible records, etc., that were collected years ago by my grandmother,
Mrs. T. B. Slade of Columbus. She was a granddaughter of Psalmet Ronl-
hac, who was the first of the name to come to America." The book is well
compiled and well printed.
The Avery book makes a handsome volume. It is printed in clear type, on
fine paper and neatly bound. It is well indexed. Capt. Avery, Mr. Sellers
thinks, was " of English origin, but when or where he was bom is un-
known. The details of his life and the record of his family are carefully pre-
served.
The Bailey genealogy is a type-written volume prepared for this Society,
and presented by HoUis R. Bailey of Boston, secretary of the Bailey-Bayley
Family Association. It is well compiled, and has a good index.
The work on the Schell family contains the descendants of Christian and
John Schell, whose father was living at the beginning of the I8th century at
Baden Baden on the Rhine in the Dutchy of Baden, Germany. The brothers
came to America, and the work before us is the result of Mr. Denissen's re-
searches concerning their descendants. The book is well compiled and hand-
somely printed, and is embellished with portraits.
The pamphlet on a branch of the Allen family is compiled with great care.
It is well printed and is embellished with a number of fine portraits.
The next pamphlet, on President McKlnley's Scotch ancestors, contains much
interesting information on the subject, and will interest many of our readers.
The two pamphlets on Henry Andrews of Taunton, Mass., by Judge Drum-
mond of Portland, Me., and Mr. Hodges of Boston, are reprints from the Reg-
ister, the former of which was published in October, 1897, and the latter in
our January number. Our readers know the value of the work of these two
able genealogists.
The pamphlet on the Bigelows in the Revolution contains interesting matter
and has been printed for private circulation.
The Rogers pamphlet is a reprint from '* Miscellaneous Notes and Queries,"
Manchester, N. H., November-December, 1897. It was contributed by Hon. Jo-
siah H. Drummond, who thus writes us of its preparation : '' After my John
Rogers pamphlet [see Register, vol. 51, pp. 380 and 883] was issued, I had let-
ters from the Rogers tribes from all around : among others from descendants of
New Hampshire families. At the same time a suggestion was made that a care-
ful examination of the records ought to throw light on the history of the
Georgetown family. As I was specially interested in that, I commenced an in-
vestigation that gave me material about tvoo New Hampshire families." This
he prepared- for the press and had it printed in the above periodical. He read
the proof of the article in galleys and made corrections, but unluckily the
printer did not send him a revise and the consequence was some of his important
corrections were not made. Mr Drummond by his three pamphlets has added
much to our knowledge of the Rogerses in New England.
The pamphlet on the Cutler family gives a good account of the branch to
which it is devoted. A folding tabular pedigree adds to its value.
The pamphlet on the Sturgis and Colman families, the author states, has for
its main object '* to connect, if possible, the ancestry of these families in the
Plymouth colony with their descendants in the state of Maine. Indebtedness is
acknowledged to Mr. Frank W. Sprague of Boston for assistance.
The Barker pamphlet gives the names and descendants of several of Mr. Par-
shairs ancestors '' who settled in the United States previous to the Declaration
of Independence, A.D. 1776." It is a useful work.
The pamphlet on the Reunion of John White's Descendants gives an account
of that gathering last September. John White, whose descendants held the

is now Wenham, and thence removed to Lancaster, Mass. He was the father
of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, whose captivity Is so well known and of whom an
interesting historical sketch is here printed.
Another annual number of the Historical Jonmal of the More family, of
which periodical notices were printed by us in our number for September, 1895,
and July, 1896, has made Its appearance. It is filled with matter that will be
nsef ul in preparing a regular genealogy.
The Kimball Family News, of which periodical three numbers are before us,
is a useful work for gathering and preserving genealogical information. We
understand that Stephen P. Sharpies of Boston, whose work on the Kimball
family is well known. Is to be the genealogical editor of the future numbers.
We wish the work success.
The Avery Notes and Qnerles, like the Kimball Family News, Is intended to
preserve genealogical matter relating to the name till it Is wanted for a geneal-
ogy of the Averys.
The broadsides on theMarston, Wagenseller and Welles families contain valu-
able genealogical matter about these families.
The Pickering Genealogy, being an account of the First Three Generations of the
Pickering Family of Salem, Mass., and of the Descendants of John and Sarah
(Burrill) Pickering of the Third Generation, By Harrison Ellert and
Charlks Pickering Bowditch. Privately Printed. 1897. 8 vols. 4to, pp.
1284 in the 8 vols, with an appendix of Statistical Tables. Edition 100 copies.
Price for the entire work, including the portfolio of broadsides issued in
1887, and a few since added, Forty Dollars. Address, William A. Morse, 28
State street, Boston.
In 1887, Mr. Pickering Issued under the title of ** The Pickering Genealogy,"
a series of seventy broadside tabular pedigrees, 25 by 17 Inches in size, in a
portfolio. They are devoted to descendants of John Pickering of Salem, and
embrace many prominent families of other names. This work was fully de-
scribed by us in the Beoistbr for July 1888.
The present work Is intended as a companion to the series Issued In 1887, and
gives biographical sketches of the individuals there recorded, with statistical
Information as to the size of families, length of life, etc.. In the different gen-
erations, and further to trace the ancestry of the men and women who have
married descendants of John Pickering.
The biographical sketches are carefully compiled and have been gleaned with
patient industry from many sources. They are illustrated with portraits,
views of houses occupied by various members of the family, facsimiles of
documents, and other engravings illustrating the history of the family or of in-
dividuals.
Mr. Bowditch says in his preface : "In the collection of material for this
work. In preparing It for the press, and in the tabulation of the Ancestry Ta-
bles, Mr. Harrison EUery has devoted nearly ten years of his life. He has trav-
elled over most of the New England States ; has examined state, county, town
and church archives ; has transcribed many Inscriptions from gravestones ; has
consulted very many town histories, works on family genealogies, and flies of
newspapers ; has visited many families and has conducted a wide correspon-
dence. To him therefore belongs, to a very large extent, the credit as well as
the responsibility of the work. And it Is a very great sorrow to me that, owing
to an acute attack of a disease of his eyes, Mr. EUery was unable to finish his
work."
The Illustrations are of a high order of merit, and Mr. Bowditch has spared
no expense In making the work, typographically and artistically, a model for
such publications. His own labor and that of Mr. Ellery are deserving of the
highest praise. The undertaking was a formidable one. We know of no one
who has attempted a similar work. The wonder is that it has been so success-
fully can'ied out in all its details. No obstacle has been allowed to prevent the
plan from being perfected, and It stands a noble monument to a distinguished
family.

JiaiBl HiMcoifD Tkvmbvll, LLD^ was
bom in Stonington, Conn^ December
80, 1921, and died in fiatHbrd, Gottn^
AuffQst 6. 1887. fie was the son of
Gin^n Tinttnbull and Basah Aim
Swan. He entered Yak College in
18Sa and« aJOiough foKoed by iU health
to leaye befora uie completion of hia
college course, was enrollod as a lachh-
ber of the Class of 1842, and given the
degree of A..M. After leaving ooUege,
he asusted the Rev. JoM H. Linsley ift
the preparation of oat^logiiee of maia-
malia, reptiles, fishes and sh^s of Con-
neoticut, pfrinted in SiQiman's Jourasi
from 1843 to 1846. In 1847, he left
Stonington for Hartford, and was for
the next five years Assistant Secretary
of State. In 1864, be was appointed
State Librarian and Registrar and a
member of the committee to compile
the Statute Laws. Again appointed
Assistant Secretary of State in 1858,
he hdd the office until in 1861 he was
elected Secretary of State^ whieh offioe
he hdd during the trying days of the
civil war.
Active in thefbundation of the Wat-
kinson Library of Reference in Hart-
ford, he was made librarian in 1863
and remained so until January, 1891,
when he resigned on account of failing
heidth, and was made honoifary libra-
rian, a position occupied until his
death.
The Watkinson Library has been
often spoken of as a monument to Dr.
Trumbull's memory, witnessing, as it
does, to his knowledge of and discrimi-
nation in the choice of books ; he made
the original catalogue, and for years
selected and purchased the vc^umes
which make up a library widely ac-
knowledged to he the most admirable
of its kind.
His catalogue of the library of his
firiend, Mr. George Brinley, which collec-
tion was sold in five parts (1879-1883),
is another memorial of his conscientious
research and his wide and accurate
knowledge of books.
Dr. Trumbull was president of the
Connecticut Historical Society fot
twenty-five years, from 1863 to 1988.
In 1886, he was made a member of the
American Antiquarian Society and in
1874 its foreign corresponding secretary,
and it was to this society uat, by his
request, his MS. Dictionary and Vo-
cabulary of the Massachusetts Lan-
guages was sent «t bis death. He
was one -of the original neHtbers -of liie
American Philological Associatioii, of
whi^ he was president in 1S74-6 ; a
lnenA>er of the National Academy of
Soienees, the Oriental Sodety, Btlmo-
logieal Sooiety, the Conneetient Aeade-
•ny of Arts ^d Sciences, and a €^ow
of the AmeHten Acadeaay of Arts and
Science ; also a HMmber of many fais-
toriosl societies, ineki^bBg tiioae of
Massachusetts, New York, Maine^ Wis-
consin, etc.
Ysle«ave hits Mm ^kgvee of LL.D. in
1871, Karravd %i 1887, and (Mnbia
thatofL.HJ). in 1887.
fiis cAnef daim to distinctiaa will,
perhaps, rest upon 9us stndy of the
North Amerioan languages, iroon which
he was acknowledged to be the highest
authority; but his eontributions to, and
knowledge of; New England history
were of equal vidae, though shared by
more workers in the same field. Nor
were the scieatillc pursuits to whicAi he
turned in early fife negleeted, as is
demonstrated by wotk done in oon-
sultation with I^ofessor Asa Gray aaid
Professor Speneer F. Baird.
No bibliography oan give an idea of
the extent of Dr. Trumbull's wide learn -
ing and his wonderful perseverance
and mdustry— though these were at-
tested daily for many years, in his con-
nection with the libraries, in his patient
answers to hundred of inquires on
suljects relevant and irrelevant, from
wise and unwise, and in a large taid
varied correspondence.

Lucius Robinson Paige was the eon of Timothy and Mary
(Robmson) Paige of Hardwick, Mass., where he was born, March
8, 1802, being the youngest of nine children. The history of his
ancestors is closely interwoven with that of the town. When the
territory was purchased of the Indians in 1686, one quarter part of
it became their property. To quote from a report of the address
given by Dr. Paige in Hardwick, Oct. 16, 1888 :
'There were eight purchasers and original proprietors, one of whom was
Nathaniel Paige his great-grandfather, and ancestor of all who are en-
titled, by birth, to that name in Hardwick, and another was Samuel Rug-
gles, great-grandfather of Dr. Paige's mother and ancestor of the nameroas
race of Raggles, including the Mandells and most of the Robinsons of this
town. Each of these persons owned one-eighth, and, together, one quarter
of the whole territory ; and when it was settled, half a century later, both
of these families contributed their full share both in the management of
public affairs, and in the raising up of large families. For many years
they furnished a larger number of voters than any other two families in the
town ; and he thought such was the fact at the present day.
Among his ancestors of the paternal line are numbered Elder
William Brewster and Governor Thomas Prence of the Plymouth
Colony ; and, on the maternal side, Governor Thomas Dudley of
the Massachusetts Colony. The family connection includes many
honorable names, among them Brig-Gen. Timothy Ruggles and
Maj.-Gen. Jonathan Warner.
Mr. Paige's grandfather, Col. Timothy Paige, did good service
in the War of the Revolution, being a member of the Committee of
Correspondence and an officer in the militia. He went with his com-
mand to Bennington in 1777, and to West Point in 1780. He was
loyal in his support of the new government, aiding in the suppres-

eion of Shays's Rebellion. After the adoption of the Constitution
he received a commission as colonel in the militia, continuing in this
office until his death.
In April, 1775, Mr. Paige's father, then a youth of eighteen
years, joined the Minute Men who hastened to Cambridge at the
first call to arms. Later in life he was honored by election to vari-
ous positions of influence and responsibility. He was for seventeen
successive years representative to the General Court, and in 1820
he was a delegate to the convention for revising the State Consti-
tution. At his death the newspapers of that date testified to his
" undeviating patriotism, his intelligence and unbending integrity."
Mr. Paige received his education in the public schools of Hard-
wick and at Hopkins Academy in Hadley, Mass. He teUs us that he
was " a frail and puny boy, equally destitute of robust bodily vigor
and of physical courage" ; and so, while his schoolmates were engaged
in athletic sports, he stole away at recess and spent his time in care-
fully studying the ancient inscriptions on the tombstones of the old
cemetery, thus early laying the foundation of his taste for genea-
logical research. Having determined to enter the Universalist
ministry, he became a student under Rev. Hosea Ballon of whom
Rev. Dr. Alonzo A. Miner was also a pupil. He preached his first
sermon in Charlestown, June 1, 1823. On the twelfth of the same
month he was received into the Southern Association of Univer-
salists, and was ordained June 2, 1825. His first pastorate was at
Springfield, Mass, where he remained until 1829. Mr. Paige came
of a race remarkable in many instances for its longevity, yet, at
this time, he was exceedingly frail and delicate in appearance, and
indeed, throughout his life, was never in robust health. Neverthe-
less in these days he was constantly active, both with voice and pen,
in preaching the doctrine which he so profoundly believed and dearly
loved, and many in that and neighboring towns were won to the
same faith. Mr. Paige was not an impassioned orator. " As a
speaker," we are told, " his vocalization was dear, his utterance
slow, his sincerity transparent, his bearing dignified and impress
sive."
An aged friend of the writer who heard him then expounding
what seemed strange to the neighborhood — a new faith — says,
" Mr. Paige in that early day took a decided stand for his convic-
tions and pressed them so strongly upon his hearers that a most ear-
nest interest was awakened in him and his message. 'He has told a
good story, has powerfully stated his position, and in argument we
find him unanswerable,' said his opponents ; ' but it will be better
for him to be on the safe side with us.' * 'Mr. Paige cannot live a
great while,' said they. 'Let him cease to preach this new doctrine ;
with us he will be safe.' " But it was just here that Mr. Paige placed
his confidence. The salvation he saw in that day was the divine plan
of the Fatherhood of God, and so clear was the call for that message,

so vigorous was his intellectual activity, so courageous his readiness
to maintain his principles, that wonder was expressed that *^ one
so young, so frail in health, could accomplish so much." The
ministry in that day was more of an itinerancy than it is to-day.
The truth of a doctrine grew from a single individual conviction, and
a long journey into what was almost a wilderness was often necessary to
call forth another individual conviction, and thus the truth expanded
till a constituency for a declaration of faith was established. This
uvork was his many years ago, before most of us were bom ; and
that same message which was divinely given him then never lost any
of its lustre, its fire or its solemnity, but shone with new beauty
and power in a long life of singular loveliness and peace. In
1829 Mr. Paige accepted a call to that part of Gloucester which is
now Rockport. Here he labored with marked success until 1832,
when he assumed charge of the church in Cambridgeport. He be-
came much attached to this place and people, but in 1839 his
health failed so completely that death seemed near, and he was com-
pelled to resign. This was his last pastorate, although for thirty
years following he continued to preach occasionally.
During the years of his ministry, Mr. Paige wrote frequently for
religious publications. A paper entitled " Universalism Defended,"
which first appeared in the Religious Enquirer of Hartford,
Conn., was reprinted in 1830. In 1833 he published his " Selec-
tions from Eminent Commentators." The sale of this book was
not confined to the author's own denomination, and several editions
were issued to meet the demand. He was for a time assistant
editor of the Trumpet^ and in 1835 began in that paper a series of
"Notes on the Scriptures," which was extended through some
years. He also wrote " Questions on Select Portions of the Gos-
pels Designed for the Use of Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes."
Mr. Paige was town clerk of Cambridge from March, 1839, to
January, 1840, and from March, 1843, until May, 1846. Upon
its incorporation as a city, he became city clerk, and continued in
office from May, 1846, to October, 1855. He was also one of the
assessors of taxes from 1842 to 1847. He was among the peti-
tioners for an act of incorporation for the Cambridgeport Savings
Bank, March 28, 1853. He was its treasurer from 1855 to 1871.
At his death he was its vice-president, and one of its trustees, which
latter office he had held for nearly a quarter of a century. He was
also, for about seven years, cashier of the Cambridgeport Bank,
which is now a National Bank, three years its president, and one of
its directors from 1857 to the end of his life — nearly forty years.
At the time of his decease high tribute was paid to his ability and
faithfrilness while occupying these positions. We quote from the
resolutions unanimously adopted by the directors of the Cambridge-
port Savings Bank :
Whereas, in all his connections with this bank he has shown marked
fidelity in the performance of bis duties; he has evinced a sincere and

steadfast devotion to truth and uprightness, and he has won the love and
respect of all those who have been associated with him ; therefore be it
Resolved, that the trustees of the Cambridgeport Savings Bank are
deeply sensible of the great loss which this institution has sustained io the
death of Dr. Paige. They recognize that his name and his work have
honored this bank during his life, and they rest content in the conviction
that the influence of his name and memory can never be effaced from the
minds of those who have so long been associated with him.
While thus faithfully fiilfilling these secular obligations, Mr. Paige
employed his evenings and hours of leisure in preparing his " Com-
mentary on the New Testament." This work comprised six vol-
umes, their publication covering a period of twenty-six years —
1844-1870. His writings have been of almost inestimable value
to his denomination. Endowed with a good education for his time,
his persistent studies, his indefatigable researches, his calm philo-
sopluc reason, all built on foundations of truth and common sense,
made his knowledge deeper and broader, a knowledge that put on
the dignity of wisdom. In recognition of his scholarly labors and
attainments. Harvard College conferred upon him in 1850 the de-
gree of Master of Arts.
Mr. Paige was the author of two valuable histories : The '* His-
tory of Cambridge," published in 1877, materials for which he
gathered while clerk of the city ; and the "History of Hardwick,"
for which he began preparations previous to 1838, although it
was not published until 1883 — the author then being eighty-one
years of age. To each of these volumes is added a ftdl genealogy
of the early settlers of the respective places. These are compiled
with painstaking care and accuracy, while the histories themselves
are both graphic and reliable. These histories are considered au-
thorities and models of their kind by those best qualified to judge
of their merit. In an address to the school children of Cam-
bridge, President Eliot of Harvard University said :
I trust that all of you study faithfully Dr. Paige's History of Cam-
bridge. Nobody deserves the privilege of growing up in this city who
does not make himself familiar with thafi book. It is an epitome of the
history, not only of this town, but of a good many other Puritan towns.
It fills this place with memories of by-gone scenes and deeds which were
precious to the people of those times, and are precious still to us, their de-
scendants or successors.
Eev. Alexander McKenzie, D.D., pastor of Shepard Memorial
Church and preacher at Harvard, says of Dr. Paige, in a recent let-
ter to the w^riter :
He was a good minister, a useful citizen, a trustworthy historian and
an upright man. He lived in dignity and quietness, winning and holding the
confidence of all who knew him. His History of Cambridge is a work of
great value. With industry and painstaking he gathered the facts which
he arranged in an intelligent method, and he made his book a treasure
house of information for all time. No one knew the town and city so

well, and whatever he had learned was at the service of any one who had
need of it. We readily obtained from him what had cost him much. If I
were to name the traits which marked his life, they would be integrity,
accuracy, generosity — other fine qualities he possessed, but these made his
days honorable. I have met him oftenest of late at the meetings of the
Massachusetts Historical Society, frhere he was regarded with the highest
respect, not more for his many years than for the virtues which had ruled
his life.
Dr. Elmer H. Capen, president of Tufts College, also writes us
of him :
I cannot in a few words give anything like my estimate of the man.
He was an agreeable and stimulating companion. Intelligent, clear-sighted
and far-sighted, abounding in common sense, thoroughly informed on cur-
rent questions, with a keen sense of humor, no one could pass an hour in
his presence without being cheered and refreshed. He was what the
French call a good raconteur. No man ever enjoyed a good story better
than he, or told one with a better relish. Whoever came in contact with
him felt instinctively the genuineness and force of his character. He was
honest and truthful to the core. He performed whatever duty was put up-
on him with painstaking and conscientious fidelity. Hence he was em-
phatically the good citizen and the good man.
As a scholar, his one characteristic was accuracy. His patience in
investigation was absolutely without bounds. He would never content him-
self with anything short of the naked truth. He never gave his readers
anything for fact which he got by inference, or hearsay, or by a guess. For
this reason his work in the historical field is of permanent value. It is re-
liable and will not have to be done over again. Feeble in body, never en-
joying robust health, he seemed, nevertheless, to have a genius for hard
work. He had als6 that kind of imagination which made the past live
before him. The founders of Cambridge and Hard wick were to him like
the living men whom he met in his daily walks. His books are valuable
to us, not only because of the thoroughness of research which distin-
guishes them, but because they set the past before us as it really was.
The same qualities marked him as a theologian. His mind went straight
to the heart of the great questions which have agitated religious men in
all ages of the world. His analytical power enabled him by a sort of in-
stinct to separate the true from the false. No dust of sophistry could ob-
scure his vision. He knew how to condense into a single phrase the ker-
nel of another man's thought. This was what made his work as a com-
mentator of the New Testament so sound and trustworthy. He gave not
only his own opinion, but in briefest words the opinion of all other writers
on the passage under review. In this respect' his commentaries are com-
pendiums of critical knowledge.
Mr. Paige became a Free Mason in 1824 at Little Falls, N. Y.,
and throughout his long life was an earnest believer in the benef-
icent work and influence of that body. In 1826 he was made
Worshipful Master of the Lodge in Hardwick, and the same year
joined the Ejiights Templars, and was elected Eminent Commander.
He was fifty years a member of Amicable Lodge in Cambridge.
His connection with this Lodge began February 10, 1846. He

was chosen Master the same night, and served three terms. He
also rendered valuable service to the order during the anti-Masonic
excitement. " His last appearance in the lodge was on the first
day of November, 1894, when he acted as chaplain, and the im-
pressiveness of that venerable man invoking the Divine blessing on
his brethren and their work, produced an indellible picture upon
the minds of all who witnessed it." In 1849 he was appointed
to confer with the Grand Lodge upon a change of ritual, being
Steward of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. He was after-
wards Grand Deacon, and, for three years following, Deputy
Grand Master. He became a member of the Supreme Council in
1861. Here he served as Secretary for two years, and as Secre-
tary of State for three years. For several years he was the rep-
resentative of the Supreme Council of Belgium in the Supreme
Council, 33^ of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United
States. At the time of his death he was the oldest Past Com-
mander of Ejiights Templars and the oldest surviving life member
of the Grand Lodge.
Mr. Paige was also a member of the fraternity of Odd Fellows
and of several historical societies. He became a member of the
Massachusetts Historical Society in 1844. He was the first resi-
dent member elected by the five founders of the New-England
Historic Genealogical Society, Jan. 21, 1845, and at his decease
was its oldest living member. He was for many years active in the
work of this Society, in which he always maintained a lively interest,
even after he became too feeble to attend its meetings. He wae
admitted to membership in the Pennsylvania Historical Society in
1854 ; in the Phi Beta Kappa Society in 1877, and in the American
Antiquarian Society in 1878. He was also made an honorary mem-
ber of the Worcester Society of Antiquity in 1876, and correspond-
ing member of the Historical Society of Wisconsin in 1877.
Mr. Paige was one of the earliest contributors to the fimd for
the establishment of Tufts College, and in 1852 had a voice in the
choice of the original Board of Trustees, and assisted id arranging
the courses of instruction. He became a member of the Board in
1859, was its Secretary for fourteen years and its oldest member at
the time of his death, both in years and term of service. The wel-
fare of the college was always very near his heart. During his life
he bestowed upon it gifts amounting to $5,000, and left by bequest
the sum of $2,000 for the founding of a permanent scholarship. In
1861 he received from this college the honorary degree of Doctor
of Divinity. The dormitory of its Divinity School is named in his
honor, ** Paige Hall."
Dr. Paige was representative from Cambridge to the General
Court in 1878 and 1879.
He was four times married, and had five children all of whom he
6iu*vived. Clarinda, daughter of Ezekiel Richardson of Brookfield,

was his first wife, who died in 1833. His second wife, Abby R.,
daughter of Joseph Whittemore of Charlestown, died in 1843.
Lucy, his third wife, was a daughter of Barnabas Comins of Charl-
ton, and widow of Solomon Kichardson of Brookfield. She died in
1864. His fourth wife, who survives him in her ninety-third year, was
the widow of the Hon. David T. Brigham of Keokuk, la., a daugh-
ter of Robert M. Peck and granddaughter of Hon. Joseph Allen
of Worcester. She is also grandniece of Samuel Adams of Revo-
lutionary fame.
On the occasion of Dr. Paige's eightieth birthday, March 8, 1882,
about three hundred of his friends gathered in the vestry of the
Cambridgeport Universalist Church to do him honor. This was the
same church to which he had been called as pastor fifty years before.
There were present many clergymen of his own and other denominar
tions, the mayor of the city, representatives of the city government,
of Tufts College, the Masonic order, and others who came to offer
words of grateful appreciation to one whose long and useftil life
had made its influence felt in so many ways. The poet Longfellow,
then suffering from the illness of which he died a few weeks later,
sent the following letter : —
My dear Sir : — I am much obliged to you for your cordial invitation to
the sapper in honor of Dr. Paige, on the eightieth anniversary of his birth-
day, and regret that illness prevents me from accepting it. I am sorry to
lose this opportunity of showing my personal regard for him and my appre-
ciation of his historical labors. The importance of local or town histories
can hardly be overestimated ; they are the foundation on which all general
history rests. For what Dr. Paige has done for Cambridge, we all owe
him our thanks. I beg you to give him mine with my sincere congratula-
tions on this occasion. Yours very truly,
Henbt W. Longfellow.
The above letter was presented to Dr. Paige with a richly bound
and beautifully illustrated copy of Longfellow's Poems.
We cannot forbear to quote from Dr. Paige's own remarks on
that evening, so well do they express his character and views
of life : —
The Psalmist says, — " The days of our years are threescore years and
ten ; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their
strength labor and sorrow ; for it is soon cut off and we fly away." It is
commonly admitted, however, that there are exceptions to general rules ;
and I regard my individual case as one of the exceptions to this rule. I
am very sensible of many infirmities incident to old age, both bodily and
mental ; yet the burden has been so light and the compensations so large
that scarcely any equal period of time, during my long life, has on the
whole been more enjoyable than the last ten years. Moreover, the
approaching termination of earthly life, which the Psalmist indicates as
one source of sorrow in old age, does not greatly disturb my peace of mind.
As I have grown older, the ties which bind me to the earth have become
fewer and weaker, and the attractions to heaven stronger and more numer-

oas ; 80 that I feel less and less reluctance to *' fly away." Aq undoubting
belief that God is the absolute Ruler of the Uoiyerse, and that He will not
permit the occurrence of any event which He cannot overrule for good, sus-
tained me in the various trials which befel me before I attained the age of
threescore years and ten ; and since that period, it has enabled me to possess
my soul in patience; I pray that it may continue firm and unshaken, so
that I may quietiy wait all the days of my appointed time, till my change
comes.
Not only have the last ten years been satisfactory, but I cannot select
any period of eighty years, dnce the days of the Apostles, which I would
be willing to take in exchange for that which is now closing. To say noth-
ing of the marvellous improvements affecting the physical welfare of man-
kind, the changes wrought in the religious world are sufficient to satisfy my
cravings, especially those which concern us most nearly. Eighty years
ago Universalists were accounted infidels, and shunned as moral lepers,
unfit for decent society. But now, they are acknowledged to be Christians,
and are treated with such respect as their conduct may deserve. It seems
scarcely possible that the next eighty years can produce equal changes in
the form of doctrine held by our brethren in other churches, and in their
opinion concerning us. At all events I am sure of the past. I have lived in
the age of the giants. I bore a humble part with them in the church militant,
and rejoiced with them in its triumphs. I would not willingly surrender my
memory of those noble men and valiant deeds in exchange for a longer
lease of life on the earth.
The eightieth year of my life nearly coincides with the fiftieth year of
my residence here .... It is one of the choicest gems in my present
crown of rejoicing, that from the beginning I have generally lived in peace
with my fellow-citizens. I am not aware that I have a personal enemy in
the city ; and I have no occasion to cherish hostility against a single indi-
vidual.
My life cannot be regarded as eventful, in the ordinary sense of the
phrase; yet I have experienced the usual vicissitudes of human life, —
many of them grievous for the present, but attended by alleviating compen-
sations. Thieves broke through and stole a large part of the fruits of my
life-long labor and self-denial; but the general outburst of sympathy con-
vinced me that I possessed a richer treasure than gold and silver. I have
endured painful and tedious sickness ; but by the blessing of God on skilful
medical treatment and careful nursing, I still live. Like others who live
long, I have witnessed the departure of my early friends, one by one, until
few remain ; yet I rejoice in the belief that they have not perished, and
that a happy meeting awaits us hereafter. And even here, younger friends
have partially supplied their place. Among the few who remain I do not
hesitate to make public acknowledgment of special gratitude to God, that
one who was my schoolmate and associate in my youth has been spared to
be my help-meet and comforter in my old age.
Some men, young as well as old, suffer acutely because they imagine
they are not fully appreciated. Far different has been my fate. I have
received all the honor I have deserved and more ....
After I ceased to be a parish minister, my fellow-citizens bestowed on
me several municipal offices ; aud I was subsequently treasurer of a savings
bank for the space of sixteen years. I endeavored to perform my various
duties faithfully ; and during this whole period, as formerly in my ministry,
I never took a vacation at the expense of my employers. In return I was
Digitized by VjOOQIC

permitted to retain every one of those offices until I resigned voluntarilj
or declined a re-election : — which I regarded as a satisfactory appreciation
of my services.
I beg yon to believe, however, that I mention these things, not in the spirit
of boasting and vain glory, but rather in humble and grateful acknowledg-
ment that my literary labors, as well as my secular duties, have been fully
appreciated and abundantly rewarded.
Dr. Paige always cherished the liveliest affection for his native
town. At its centennial celebration in 1838, as orator of the day,
he delivered a very long and deeply interesting historical address.
Fifty years later, at its 150th anniversary, he was again invited to
be the principal speaker, but declined. He was present, however,
and spoke at some length. He then said that ' it was sixty-two
years since he removed from Hardwick, but to this day no other
place seemed so much like home ; nor was there any spot in the
wide world so dear to his recollection as the hill where he was bom,
overlooking on the one side this pleasant village, with " Poverty
Hill," or rather " Moimt Pleasant," in the backgroimd, and on the
other the Ware River Valley from Palmer to Wachusett. Not
only was this natural scenery dear to him, but the marks of atten-
tion which he had received since his removal, which have kept aKve
and augmented his attachment to Hardwick.' It was on this occar
sion that Dr. Paige made known his intention to bequeath to the
town of Hardwick, under certain conditions, his library of more
than 2,000 volumes, and his maps, with the sum of $10,000 ^^ to
be safely invested as a permanent fund, and the income thereof to be
appropriated for the care, maintenance and increase of the library."
The conditions having been fulfilled, the library is now in the hands
of its appointed custodians at Hardwick.
Dr. Paige was never a wealthy man. At one time he lost,
through the robbery of a Cambridge bank, the sum of $15,000
— the accumulation of years. His gifts came not from the super-
abundance of his worldly goods, but from the overflowing generosity
of his heart. Debarred by failing health from the pursuit of hiis
chosen profession, while yet comparatively a young man, he re-
mained true to his scholarly tastes, and out of seeming defeat brought
abundant success. Modest and unassuming, the honors that came
to him were never the object of his endeavor, but gratefiilly received
as the spontaneous tribute of those whom he had served.
Simple in his tastes, dignified and refined in his manners, broad
and kindly in his sympathies, for sixty years Dr. Paige lived in the
house which he had built in Cambridge, whose gracious hospitality
is remembered to-day by many a grateftil guest.
His friend. Col. Albert H. Hoyt, truly said :
To those who were honored with his intimate friendship in his own home,
when the doors were shut, and the curtains drawn, he disclosed his abound.

ing humor, the warmth and generosity of his heart, the sweetness, parity
and elevation of his nature.*
The last few years of his life were spent in comparative seclusion.
Yet he was not forgotten. On his birthday anniversaries the day
was filled with a succession of affectionate greetings and kind wishes ,
and his home was fragrant with flowers brought by loving hands or
breathing sweet messages from absent friends. In 1892 the sixtieth
anniversary of his first sermon, preached in the Cambridgeport
church, was observed as *' Paige Sunday," with services appropriate
to the occasion. The following stanzas, composed by a friend of
the writer, were sung, and are given here as expressing the spirit of
the hour :
To-day, the silver crown of years
Bests lightly on the brow of one,
Who oft has brought to darkened souls
The brightness of the morning sun.
No strange, dread mystery of words
From him the Father's love concealed ;
Clear-eyed, he read God's Holy Word,
And saw his character reveided.
With busy pen and living voice,
For well nigh three score years and ten.
He has proclaimed to haman hearts
The boundless love of God to men.
And so, for him, Time's silver crown
With heavenly glory seems to shine;
His past well-stored with fruitful years.
His future safe in love Divine.
HiB was an ideal old age. Surrounded by a multitude who loved
him, ministered to with a wealth of tenderness and a devotion un-
ceasing by a most loyal and sympathetic wife, he yet lived with fiill
interest in the present, though he solemnly thought of that eternity
towards which he knew himself to be hastening. " I have been
gradually wearing away for the last ten years," he said to a friend,
but no one could say there was any diminution of mental strength
or power. In those last days, when he lay caJndy and patiently
awaiting the end, he requested a brother clergyman, who had called,
to report his condition at the next meeting of ministers, and from
him "exhort them to be faithful in their good work, and bid them a
hearty farewell and God speed." A few days later, Sept. 2, 1896,
in the ninety-fifrh year of his age, he passed from his earthly to his
heavenly home with the same serene faith in the love and wisdom
of God which had been his support through life.
Once more, on Saturday, September 5, the old church opened its
doors to receive those who came to offer the last tribute of respect

and affection to the long and beautiful life now passed into a precious
memory. It was a notable gathering which fiUed the large audi-
toriimi. Few, indeed, remained of the old congregation to whom
he once ministered, although the places of some of these were occu-
pied by children or grandchildren. There were representatives from
the city, the banks. Harvard and Tufts Colleges, the Universalist
Publishing House, the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the various his-
torical societies and other organizations. A large number of clergy-
men of the Universalist denomination were present and many of
widely differing faith. Among the Masons were members from the
old lodge which Dr. Paige joined at Hardwick in 1826, now enter-
ing upon its ninety-seventh year. On every hand were the gray
heads and thoughtful faces of men who had achieved success in
many walks of life — scholars, thinkers, men of letters, and others
whose lives had been passed in daily contact with the busy world.
All these came together, drawn by reverent and grateftil memory of
the man whose quiet, modest, useful life had been a blessing and
inspiration to all within the sphere of his influence. At the sound
of a dirge from the organ, the whole assembly rose and remained
standing while the casket was borne to its place in the church. Por-
tions of the ninetieth and ninety-first Psalms were read by Eev.
E. H. Capen, D.D., President of Tufifcs College, after which a dis-
course was delivered by the writer of this sketch, from the text :
"With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation." —
Ps. xci. 16. At the close of the church service, the remains were
conveyed, under Masonic escort, to Mt. Auburn cemetery, where
the last rites were performed by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts ;
Bev. Charles A. Skinner, a former pastor of the church, as Grand
Chaplain, conductyig the service.
Such were the scenes at the close of a life remarkable, not for
the brilliancy of sudden achievement, but for the harmonious beauty
of a soul at peace with itself, and yielding unfaltering obedience
to its heavenly visions of truth and duty.

1898.] Philip Gereardy of New Amsterdam. 313
PHILIP GEREARDY OF NEW AMSTERDAM,
LANDLORD OF THE CITY TAVERN,
AND HIS RHODE ISLAND DESCENDANTS.
By CHA.BLES Knowles BoltoNi A.B., Librarian of the Boston Athenasum.
In early colonial times settlers along the coast of Rhode Island carried
on a considerable trade with the Dutch at the mouth of tlie Hudson. At
New Amsterdam there were many well-known English and New England
merchants. But on the shore of Narragausett bay few Dutchmen became
permanent residents, although occasional marriages occurred. Through one
of these marriages many New Englanders may claim descent from an in-
teresting figure in old New York.
Philip Gereardy and his son Jan were perhaps not of the stuff from
which some men would choose ancestors, but they were picturesque in a
manner which was in harmony with their environment.
1. Philip^ Gereardt was an early inhabitant of Manhattan, where he
contracted with Juriaen of Osnaburgh for a house. It seems that Juriaen
did not biiild the house in the time agreed upon, for in the spring of 1641
two witnesses swore to the agreement and Philip obtained a judgment in
his favor on the 13th of June. In a year or two he received a grant of a
house lot on the north side of the first road from the fort to the ferry, on
the present Stone street between Whitehall and Broad streets. This was
known first as ^ the road," later a part of it as the Brouwer straat ; it was
the first street paved with stone, and the place of residence of the wealthy
people of the town, such as Frederick Philipse of Philipse manor. Here
Philip, his wife Marie Pollet, and their son Jan lived. May 24, 1644,
Philip received by patent a double lot on the common highway, ^^ on the
east side of Broadway between Beaver Street and Exchange Place, 110
feet front by 230 feet deep."
In 1642 a stone tavern for the accommodation of travellers was erected,
fronting on the East river. It was south of the road to the ferry '^ in the
present north-west corner of Pearl street and Coeuties alley," wrote Val-
entine in 1853. As landlord of this tavern Gereardy became a conspicu-
ous man in New Amsterdam. Prize money was often left in his hands for
safe keeping. In January, 1642, he was in trouble for selling beer at a
higher rate than that allowed by the ordinance, but was permitted to es-
cape punishment. Not so three months later when he was again in trouble,
this time for being absent from guard duty without leave. There is a fine
irony in the sentence which couples his two vocations: *' To ride the wooden
horse during parade, with a pitcher in one hand and a drawn sword in the
other." Philip had been released from this undesirable position scarcely a
twelve-month when he was seriously wounded while conducting Jan Jansen
Damen home one night — probably after an evening spent at the tavern.
Damen, a wealthy man and part owner of the privateer La Garce, defended
Stuyvesant in Holland in 1649-50, and died upon his return in 1651.
Meanwhile Philip did not always pay his debts, and Augustyn Herrmans
in October, 1644, complained of Philip's lack of attention to bills for wine.
Little by little, however, he prospered; and when the city authorities,
March 13, 1653, drew up a ^4ist of the persons who shall provisionally

contribute the following sums for the purpose of putting this city in a state
of defence," be was slated for the moderate tax of fifty guilders. In 1653
the tavern was turned over to the magistracy for a city hall or <' stadt
buys"; and October 15, 1658, Peter Wolfertsen van Couwenhoven sold to
Philip the lot " situate where the sign of the White Horse hangs out, right
opposite the Winckel street, New Amsterdam/' Van Couwenhoven and
his older brother Jacob were leading brewers. Peter himself was Schepen
for six years, and lieutenant of the militia company, a near neighbor of the
Gereardy family, and a witness at the christening of Philip's grandchildren.
This property was no doubt acquired by Philip in order to continue his busi-
ness. Philip and his wife were often witnesses at church christenings, and
Philip was in 1646 appointed custodian of an estate and of orphan children.
There is no direct statement that Jan Gereardy was his son, but the evi-
dence seems to be strong. The Rhode Island records to be mentioned later
show that Jan was in the habit of going to New Amsterdam to trade with
his father and mother. In all the Dutch records I find no person of his
surname except Philip and Marie, who might therefore be the parents re-
ferred to. Philip and Marie, moreover, were witnesses at the christening
of Jan's children ; and finally Philip, according to Valentine's Hietory of
New York, left his property to Jan. Very possibly Jan had sisters or
aunts in New Amsterdam. Philip Gereardy died between October 11,
1654, and January, 1656; and on November 5, 1656, at the Reformed
Dutch church, " Mattheus de Vos, widower of Anna Peters, and Maria Pol-
let, widow of Philip Gerar," were married.
Matheus de Vos was keeper of the city hall (which as a tavern Philip
had managed), a notary public and an active attorney about the courts. In
former years he had been a soldier in the service of the company, and as
late as 1 653 was a cadet in company 4 of the Burgher corps. After his
marriage he seems to have lived in the widow's house, where he continued
bis legal duties until his death in 1663.
Philip and Marie (or Marritje) had :
2. i. Jan*, bom probably in the Netherlands.
2. Jan* Gereardt (Philip^j was a trader, and perhaps when the hour
was favorable, a privateer. He seems to have been shrewd and
energetic. Previous to June 5, 1648, he became an inhabitant of
Warwick, R. I., where he had been drawn through trade ; and it
may be was induced to settle there from an interest in Mrs. Eze-
kiel Holliman's daughter. Holliman, who was a man of promi-
nence from Tring in Hertfordshire, and one of the founders of the
Baptist church in America, acquired a certain distinction in history
by baptizing Roger Williams. His wife Mary, widow of Isaac
Sweet, had a daughter Mirabeh whose name Holliman changed to
Renewed before she married Jan. How Jan the sailor found fsL-
vor with such a religious family as the HoUimans must be left to
the imagination. If Jan and Renewed were married before 1651
they would seem to have lived but a short time in Rhode Island,
for Jan signed his name to a petition July 16, 1651, then residing
" on the Island of Ahrumime in the Schuylkil in the South River
in New Netherland." He had made voyages to the South River
(the Delaware) before this time; toward the end of December,
1647, while near the Swedish colony. Governor John Printz did
''with force and violence, seize me, Jan Greraet, with my boat
called the Siraen, visited the .yacht, and handled the goods in an

QDchristianlike maDner and to the great loss and damage of me Jan
Gereat, inrned them apside down ; took oat mj munitioDs of war,
which consisted of about 60 lbs. of powder and six guns, but on
my promising to use them only when obliged, returned me some
powder, about 47 lbs. and three guns ; the remainder he kept for
himself."
In 1649 Michiel Jansen commissioned Jan to collect a debt from
Reynier Dominions at the South River. But in 1652 he was back
in Warwick, where he unwittingly opened a volcano under the
family hearth-stone. The case illustrates a curious side of puritan
character — a relentlessness that equalled that of the oppressor in
England. Arnold, in his History of Rhode Island, relates the story :
" The crew of a small Dutch vessel which had arrived there in
January [1652], on a trading voyage, boarded for some two months
with John Warner, who was this year the Assistant, or second
magistrate of the town, and had stored their goods in his house for
sale. One of these men, named Geraerd, was a brother-in-law of
Warner, both having married into the family of Ezekiel Holliman.
Upon settling their accounts a dispute arose which it was vainly at-
tempted to adjust by arbitration, and the Dutchman appealed to
the court. At their request a special session was held. Warner
refused to answer to the case, and judgment was entered against
him by default, and execution granted for the damages assessed
by a jury."
Warner was tried before the General Court of Trials, degraded
from office and disfranchised. His house and lands were attached
'* upon suspicion of insufferable treachery against the town," but
were released some time later. In March, 1652, Jan sold to Stukely
Westcott certain lands of John Warner taken by execution by
Harmanus Harforth of New Amsterdam.
Some months later Gereardy brought down the wrath of the Nar-
ragansett sachems upon the settlers, and '^ four score armed men "
marched to Warwick to demand satisfaction. In his crew were
three infamous men who had robbed the grave ot a sister of the
sachem Pessicus. "We fear," wrote Roger Williams, "John
Garriard was drawn in by them, at least to consent to share with
them in such a booty."
<* So," says Williams, " it pleased the Lord to pacify all with our
attaching of the Dutchman's goods and debts, until he have made
satisfaction to the sachem's charge against him."
Jan, whether at this time a citizen of the Dutch or the English
town, carried on a thriving trade with both nations. That the na-
ture of this commerce aroused suspicions is certain. In 1654 Giles
Glover, testifying " vpon oath in the assemblie sayth, that he hath
been twice at the Dutch, and that for the last time he was theare
John Garioud did trade something there, and fordere sayth that he
saw an order vnder the hand of Mr. Holiman and John Greene,
Junior, for their goinge thither, and sayth we brought howes,
gunnes and powder, but traded with [them]. He tarred but ten
dayes, and [said] that he traded with some that weare not his
Father and Mother, and that we brought eighteen ankers of liquors
the first voyage, and six the last. Robert Westkote went about to
buy bever and liquors ; butVloth not know that he bought any [thing]

bat ODe hundred Lowes upon John Grariard aoooante, and that Joha
Gariard brought some deare skinnes but some he had from his
mother."
In the midst of trading and speculation Jan found time for the
christening of his two daughters October 11,1 654, at New Am-
sterdam. They were called Philippe and Marritie, no doubt from
his father and mother. The witnesses were " Philip Geerardts, Pie-
ter Wolfertszen, Marritie Geerardts, Thomas Hall, Hester ter
Neuf." Thomas Hall was a man of wealth with whom Jan seenas
to have had much to do. They were both interested in Newton,
Long Island, where the directors on the 5th of November, 1653,
granted to " Jean Gerardy " Newton's Point or the Green Hook,
comprising twenty morgeus or about forty acres. Three days be-
fore this ** Philip Gerardy " had been granted twenty-five morgens
at Long Island.
In 1655 Jan became a freeman of Warwick; and the same year
in a deed of a house and lot at G^ [Gravesend ?] to Isaac Greven-
raat he signed his name '^ John Gerardy '* (Bergen's King's Countj
Settlers). May 5, 1664, Jan or John Gereardy and two others
were allowed £3. 2s 6d. by the assembly for bringing an Indian
to prison from Warwick to Newport, they having spent five days in
the service. (Austin.)
Jan*s next appearance in the records is so little to his credit that
whatever construction is given to the words he is left in an unen-
viable position. Probably Rhode Island justice, as in the case of
Jan's brother-in-law, John Warner, was sometimes more relentless
than fair, for in New Amsterdam as well as in New England men
were persecuted under the guise of justice. Fuller's Warwick
gives the record : " July 2, 1 666. Ordered that John Garyardy
who hath confessed himselfe to be a thiefe and stands convict in a
court of record for stealing, bee not for ye future admitted to have
anything to doe in ye towne meetings, but is by this order ex-
punged ye socyety of honest men, which order did pass uppon a
bill presented by £dmund Calverly Town Clarke."
In 1681 Gereardy and his wife were living in Providence, for
Mary Holliman, widow of Ezekiel, in her will dated July 31, 1681,
provides that
<^ In consideration of the Great Love and affection I do bear un-
to my Son in Law, John Garrardy and my Daughter Renewed
Garrardy his wife both formerly of Warwick but now of Provi-
dence," they are to have her right, title and interest which she then
possessed in the ^^ House lot, meadows and uplands &c. in Warwick."
Jan Gereardy had died before February 24, 1719, when Samuel
Gorton testified that he, Gereardy, ^^ did marry a daughter of Mary
Holiman formerly wife to Ezekiel Holiman, named Renewed, and
that the wives of Jeremiah Smith of Prudence and John Smith
now of Kings Town, were reputed to be daughters of John Gere-
ardy by Renewed, their names being Mary and Phillis." (Austin).
A facsimile of Jan's autograph appears in the Rhode Island His-
torical Society publications, new series, vol. 4 (1896), page 109.

tie," when her grandfather and grandmother witnessed the cere-
mony. She married at Warwick, R. I., January 2, 1672, Jeremiah
Smith, son of John Smith of Prudence Island. (N. E. Gen. Reg.,
July 1883, p. 275.) The facts relating to her husband and his
brother I owe chiefly to Austin's invaluable Genealogical Diction-
ary of Rhode Island. Jeremiah Smith was a constable in 1688
and a justice of the peace in 1709. He purchased of his wife's
uncle James Sweet 300 acres in " Fettaconsett " in 1710. His
will, dated in 1716 and proved in 1720, makes Mary one of the
executors, and leaves to her the whole income of his lands for life,
with a negro woman and girl. In 1722 Mary made a deed to the
children of her son Ephraim.
Jeremiah Smith and Mary had :
I. John, who received 300 acres In Kingstown by his fatber*s will, an
income of £4 per year for life, with cows and sheep, also an addi-
tion to his house to be built for not more than £25.
II. Ephkaim, who shared with Ebenezer all right in Boston neck, to have
the north part with house. Ephraim Smith's daughter Renewed
married Daniel Carpenter in 1733, and their daughter Mary Car-
penter married Joseph Knowles, who was drowned in 1810 at Pru-
dence Island.
iii. Ebeniczbr, to have the south part of Boston neck, the ferry and ferry
house to be eqnally for the two sons; also £100 to build a house.
iv. Sarah, bom In April, 1678 ; died March 12, 1766. Married before
1699 Jeremiah Hazard of North Kingstown. Had : Mary, Ann,
Bobertj Sarah, Martha, Hannah, Susannah, To have £50 and a silver
cup by her father's will.
y. Mary, married John Congdon of North Kingstown, R. I. They had :
Jeremiah, Mary, John, James. Received £50, a negro girl Maria,
and a silver cup in her father's will.
vi. Deliverance, married Reynolds. Received £100 and a silver
cup in her father's will.
4. Phillis Gereardt (Jav?^ Philip^) was baptized at the Reformed
Dutch church in New Amsterdam, October 11, 1654, as " Philippe,"
probably in recognition of her grandfather Philip. She married
John Smith, brother of Jeremiah, her sister's husband. The broth-
ers were actively engaged in the ferry at Boston neck, Kingstown,
R. I.
In her husband's will, proved in 1730, she was to receive £20
yearly while his widow, a third of the income of his part of the
ferry, a negro girl Judah, and some necessities mentioned therein.
(Austin.)
John Smith and Phillis had :
i. John, executor of his father's will. To have farm at Boston neck
and building, and then to John's sons John and William. To his
five daughters a gold ring each.
11. Daniel, to have farm in Coweset. Then to his son Daniel.
iii. A son.
iv. HoPESTiLL, married Joseph Northup of North Kingstown. She had
Joseph and four other children. She was to receive from her fath-
er's will ;^150 and 200 acres at Coweset and a bible for each child.
5. John Gereardt {Jan^y Philip^) married Deliverance, widow of that
John Corp who was sexton of the chnrch at Bristol, or, as the
record says, digger of graves, sweeper of the meeting house, and
ringer of the bell. Corp died November 1, 1691. If Renewed

Gereardj had died by thU time, John who married the widow
Corp migfU, unless future information proves the contrary, be the
first Jan, son of Philip. He would however be a man of seventy
or more, and as Mr. Austin says in a letter to me, this is hardly
likely. As John Corp, first child of Deliverance, was born in
1680, she herself was probably not far from the age of John
Gereardy if he was the son of Jan and Renewed. In 1702 John
Corp, the son, prayed for permission to dispose of real estate,
having leave from his mother Deliverance aud stepfather John
Gereardy.
John Gereardy and Deliverance had:
6. 1. John, bom at Bristol, December 22, 1696-6. (Vital Record of B. I.)
ii. Sweet, a daughter, born at Warwick, May 16, 1699.
6. John Gereardy (John\ Jan*, PkUip^)^ born at Bristol, R. I., De-
cember 22, 1695-6. Married November 3, 1720, Mary (Sarah ?)
Draper. Mr. Austin gives Mary, and the Vital Record gives Sa-
rah as the wife of John.
Children of John Gereardy and Sarah, born at Warwick :
i. John, born Feb. 12, 1721-2.
U. Marit, bom March 6, 1728-4.

I HAVE been surprised to find so many names of New England settlers
daring my investigation at Raynham, Norfolk, England, among the tenant-
ry of the Townshend estates at East, West and South Raynham, East and
West Rudham, Helhoughton, Coxford, Toflrees and Fakenham, all pa-
rishes of the Marquis Townshend. For instance, Rev. Samuel Whiting,
Christopher Phillips, father of Rev. George Phillips, Rev. John Daven-
port, Thomas Buttolph, Samuel Hutchinson, John Mason, John Cooper,
Edward Armitage, William King, also Rev. John Goodwin, rector of
Raynham, who succeeded the Rev. Nicholas Price, as chief minister of St.
Nicholas Chapel, King's Lynn, 31 July, 1629, and whose assistant was the
Rev. Samuel Whiting, who had the three preceding years served as do-
mestic chaplain to the Townshend and Bacon families at Raynham and
Stifkey where there are at this day to be seen papers giving evidence of his
residence there.
It is also a historical fact that between Lady Yere, mother-in-law of Sir
Roger Townshend, and the Rev. John Davenport, there existed a warm
friendship, evidently growing out of a similarity of religions views.
After leaving London, we are told that Mr. Davenport sought refuge
with friends in the country, and as his letters to Lady Yere soon after ar-
rival at Quinnipiack, New Haven, dated July 28, 1639, and published in
the Rbqistbb, show au intimate acquaintance, it may be oonjectured that

ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF THE FAMILIES OF BATT AND
BYLEY OF SALISBUEY, MASS.
By J. Henry Lea, Esq.
Since the previous portion of my monograph on this subject went to
press,* I have been favored, through the kindness of my esteemed friend
and correspondent, Mr. Samuel P. May of Newton, Mass., with some addi-
tional evidences from his notes regarding the Batt family which, by his per-
mission, are here appended as a valuable supplement to what has already
been printed.
The most important of these is the transcript from the Visitation of
Wilts in 1677 which follows in extenso, with additions and corrections
(printed in italics and brackets) from the evidences already given. The
name of William which heads the pedigree is an evident error for John ;
but, eliminating this, it agrees perfectly with, and considerably extends our
knowledge of, the family of William Batt of St. Martins, the third and
youngest son of John Batt of St. Martins, Alderman of Sarum, who died
in 1643.
The othec notes deal with the history of the earlier generations of the
family in America, and their application will be apparent.

THE DESCENDANTS OF LIEUTENANT WILLIAM
SEWARD, OF GUILFORD, CONN.
Compiled by Hon. Ralph Dunning Smtth, and communicated bjr his grandson,
Dr. Bebna&d C. Stbinbb.
William Sbwabd was born in England in 1627. He came from Bristol
to New England, and is said to have been in Taunton, Mass., in 1643. He
settled in New Haven shortly after arriving in America, and while residing
there married Miss Grkce Norton, of Guilford. He removed to Guilford
shortly afterwards and took the oath of fidelity there. May 4, 1654.
He appears to have been a tanner, a man of considerable property and
eminence in the town, and was for a long time commander of the Train-
Band. He frequently represented the town in the General Assembly.
He died March 29, 1689. His will was dated the day of his death, and
was proven June 7, 1689. He left his wife the use of one-half of the
dwelling house for her life, and an annuity of forty shillings per annum from
each of the six sons. Half of the movable estate, except the stock for the tau
house, was left to her absolutely. His son Stephen seems not to have been
capable of caring for himself and a life estate in the dwelling, and thirty
acres were given him, under the trusteeship of John, who was to inherit the
property absolutely after Stephen's death. Samuel, Caleb and Ebenezer,
the other sons, were given tracts of land, and John, Joseph and Caleb are
confirmed in the possession of lands already given to them. Each of the
children of his daughter Mary were given a cow, and the other half of the
movable estate was given to his daughter Hannah. The tan yard and
meadow land were directed to be equally divided among the sons.

WASHINGTON.

Boucher to Washington.
St. Mary's, 21 May, 1770.
Sir,
So hurried as you know nae to be at present, I flatter myself you will
not even now expect more of me than the Outlines of a Plan of Travelling ;
the filling it up may be the work of further Leisure, & maturer Considera-
tion. And, as I have nothing to lay before you, but mere conjecture &
opinions, unsupported by any Experience of my own, let me again have
Leave to remind you not to pay any greater Deference to These, or to any
Opinions, than They are found fairly to deserve. It is a Project of suff'
Importance to warrant y' collect^ y® Opinions of all who may be suppos'd
to have ever attended to, or tho't of the matter.
Travelling, you are well aware, is still & long has been much in Vogue
in our Mother Country ; yet has it so frequently been attempted & ex-
ecuted in so absurd & preposterous a manner, that it is now become a
Question whether it be really useful or not. And as warm an advocate
as I profess myself for this method of complete^ an Educa°, I yet readily
own that it is only some Persons to whom Travelling can possibly be use-
ful, & that there are perhaps equally many to whom it w^ certainly be per-
nicious. The light, giddy, fantastical, frothy& frivolous characters amongst
us, w^ only be made worse, & rendered incurable ; but let sedentary men
talk as much as they please of y® Loss of Time, y® Expence, & y® un-
settled & roving Habits acquired by Travel, to me it is beyond a Dispute,
that an observant mind, & to a Person endowed w**^ Judgment to draw
profitable knowledge £™ y® various objects w** various Countries are per-
petually present^, there is not ano' so eligible a System to be taken to form
& polish y® manners of a liberal Youth, & to fit Him for y^ Business &

CoDTersa^ of j* world* And if yos will be pleased to apply this Remark
to some liyiDg Instances to be met with even i^ere, I am mistaken if it will
not account for that Objec" so often started by the Opposers of this Plan, —
that sQch, & such an one have travelled without being any better for it*
Depend upon it, they were either originally unfit for the Experiment, or it
has been conducted on wrong Principles. Let this be s*^ with' any sus-
picion of my aim^ to reflect on any Indiyidaals ; the Reflection is not eon-
fined to Virginia. But there is a cert^ captiousness in some of y' Coun-
trymen, w^ I eannot but lament, tho I very freely pardon as being but y^
Ebullitions of Zeal for th^ Country, w^ will hardly allow a Foreigner (&
such I must be called, in spite of my sincere attacfam^ to Virg* & Vir-
ginians) to find Fault with any Thing belonging either to Them or to tlieir
Country. But, as I am well eonyiueed this is not y® Case w^ yo«, I returD
to my subjeet.
It being then agreed, at least by you and me, that generally speaking,
traveUing is useful & necessary, to young Persons in all Countries, let
us, as more immediately interesting us, now more particularly en%inre, if
it be not particularly so to a Virginian and to Mr. Custis. The peculiar
advantages w^ result to youth from Travel, are s*^ to be first, an easy ad-
dress, y^ wearing off of national Prejudices, & y® find^ noth^ ridiculous in
national Pecularities ; &, above all, that supreme accomplishment w'' w»
call a Knowledge of^ Worlds a science so useful as to supersede or dis-
grace all y* Rest : for I understand not y* Phrase in y* Sense in w^ Fops or
Kakes use it, but mean by it that easy, that elegant, that useful knowledge^
w** results f° an enlarged observa" of Men and Things, P" an acquaintance
w^ y* customs & Usages of various & distant Countries, f" some Insight
into their Policies, Governm', Religion & Manners; in a word, f"* y*
study & Contempla" of men, as They present Themselves on y^ gr* stage
of y^ World, in various Forms, & ander di£F^ Appearances. This is that
Master Science which every 6— man sh*^ know, & w^ yet no School nor
College can teach Him. To apply this to y® Country we live in, where
will you point out to me another so circumscrib'd in its Intercourse w^
mankind at large, as Virg^ ? Saving here and there a needy Emigrant from
G^ Britain, an illiterate Capt° of a ship, or a subaltern Merch^, to whom
can a Virg^ Youth apply for a specimen of y® manners, &e., of any other
People ? Thus limited in y* Opp*y for Observa* must not his Ideas neces-
sarily resemble those of a Caribbee Indian, mentioned by Lafitau, who, of-
fended at being called a Savage, exclaimed, / know no savctgeM hut the
Europeans, who ctdcpt none of onr Cnstoms ; or those of y* Inhabitants of
the Marian Islands, who, being persuaded that theirs was y® only language
in y^ Universe, concluded from thence that all other men knew not how to
speak ? He finds his Lot east in a Country amaaingly fertile, & thence
learns to conclude that even y* rich Plains watered by y* Nile, the Gre-
cian Temple, the Roman Campania, the Spanish Andalusia, are all mean
and contemptible w*^ compared w^ his hw Ghrmmds; &, pursuing thia
Train of Reasoning, soon supposes also like the Baron of Tbonderton
Tronck, that both his country and countrymen, are the finest of all possible
Countries & People. Now, if it were only for y* sake of Truth & Decency,
if it were but to avoid y* Ridicule to w^ these palpable Absurdities expose
them, one cannot but wish our Touth c^ be taught to open th' Eyes, &
extend them beyond their own foggy air & dirty acres. But, This is

Virg*. Till very lately you coa'd hardly anywhere see a piece of Land
tolerably ploughed, or a person who c^ be persuaded that plowing made
aoy difference; & even yet it is more than probable, even Those who
have made the greatest Improvements in this most natural, most useful,
& most amusing Art, fall infinitely short of some other countries. In a
political View then, Travelling appears to be exceedingly necessary ; since a
Man may thus learn to double the Value of his Estate.
I mention'd too y® Improvement of Manners ; by w^ I mean an Ability
for ingenious, manly & useful Conversa^ For a Traveller who makes a
proper Use of his opportunites, will be all of a piece, & return as polished in
mind <& understanding, as in his Person. To this it is frequently objected
j^ w^ is gained in Civility & Foliteness, is lost in real Goodness & Virtue,
by y® various tempt* scenes of vice to w^ a youth must be exposed in y*
Course of his Travels. In Ans' to This, let me observe that there are some
Tempers who c** not possibly be preserved f" y® Taint of Vice, even w'** y®
benefit of a private Educa°. Or grant it were practicable to retain y® Purity
of their Morals by such narrow Regula*" ; do not you think that if, by this
Means, They sh** chance to have fewer vices, They w* also have fewer
Sxcellencies ? And it sh^ be remembered that solitary virtue, however
pure and immaculate, is but imperfect virtue : We are formed for society,
& y* Business of y® World is a Duty we owe to society : & it is therefore
our Duty to qualify ourselves for y® performance of these Duties in y®
best man', w^ is by prudent & well-conducted Travel.
Let us now, if you please, as a contrast to This, for a moment figure to
ourselves future History of our pupil, sh** this Expedient not bo approved of.
The chief failings of his character are that He is constitutionally somewhat
too warm — indolent & voluptuous. As yet these Propensities are but in em-
brio : ere long, however, they will discover Themselves, & if not duly and
carefully regulated, it is easy to see to what They will lead. At best. He
will soon lose all Relish for mental Excellence. He will unwillingly ap-
ply to any Improvem^ either in Arts or Sciences. Sunk in unmanly sloth, his
Estate will [be] left to y^ managem^ of some worthless Overseer; & him-
self soon be entangled in some matrimonial adventure, in w^ as Passion will
have much to say, it is not very likely Reason will be much listened to. I
appeal to you, sir, if this acc^ be exaggerated ; <& if it be not sadly veri-
fied by many living Instances y* have fallen under y' own Observa"*.
The Contrast is so striking to me, at least, it seems so, that I cannot
think it possible for any one to hesitate a moment in determine. Let me
then hasten just to repeat w^ I yesterday mentioned to you of y® man-
ner in w^ I cou'd wish my scheme to be executed. In the first Place then,
I wou'd have Him make the Tour of N. America, at least y® Northern
Colonies, w^ might very well be done in six months. And this chiefly to
avoid y® absurdity of going so far to get acquainted w*** other Countries,
ere He knew any Thing of his own. After this. He sh^ go to EngK,
& there immediately be enter'd in one of y* Universities, not so much f™.
any Prospect of advantages to be gain'd by study in y^ little Time He c^.
stay there ; as that it would be by much the safest Place for Him. After
a winter or so spent there, He shou'd be conducted thro' y® principal coun-
ties & Towns of the three kingdoms, which wou'd possibly take up nearly
a year. After this, He might conveniently spend six months in the me-
tropolis, & from thence set out on his Tour thro' some of y^ principal coun-
tries on y® continent, w^. He sh^. travel tho' not as a virtuoso to collect
Rarities, or as a connoisseur, to gaze at excellent pictures or magnificent

Buildings, but rather like a Really sensible & sentimental Traveller, such
as Horace intimates Uljsses was, who travelled thro' many cities to see
y® manners of many men. — These are the Outlines of my Plan, which
however I no otherwise recommend to you, than as my first thoughts,
w^ I shall be proud to see improved by y'self or others. The Expence of
the undertaking yet remains to be spoken of, in estimating of which, I am
even more at a Loss than in what I have heretofore mentioned. However,
as I had much rather have my Judgm*. called in Quest", than my Inclina"
to comply with every Request of yours, I hesitate not to give you my
Opinion such as it is. I cannot then believe that it can possibly be ex-
ecuted in any such manner as you w^. wish, or as it ought, for less than
£1000 sterl^. p'. ann: if so little; which I calculate in this manner. It
cannot be tho't unreasonable that my appointm^ if finally I sh^. be pitch'd
upon to accompany Him, sh'^ at least be equal to w* I relinquish here ; as I
take not into ace* y® Injury I may thus eventually do to my future Pros-
pects in Life, since This I think, ought to be charged to y* Pleasure I pro-
pose to myself f" y* scheme. This then I set down at £250 ; my £xpences
& those of a serv* & a p' of Horses, at as much more : His own, & serv*
&c. at £250 — the remaining £250 I allot to cloath*^ Him, & sundry other
unforeseen Expences, such as Purchasn* Curiosities, visit* public Places,
&c., &c. For aught I know, this may be too much — tho' I hardly think it
is : shou'd it be so, as I know his circumstances, it sh^ be my study to pro-
por° his Expenses, as far as they possibly could, to his Income. And
whoever be his Precepter, sh^ have it strictly in Charge punctually to ren-
der you a faithful acc^ of every DisbursemS that so you might have it in y'
Power to subject Him to whatever new Regula"* you might judge expe-
dient.
I am much ashamed to lay before you so confused & ill-digested a Letter,
w** I beg you to impute to my Hurry, & my being constantly interrupted
by company : If, however, you can only collect from it y* substance of my
Plan, & if that only appears tolerably plausible to you, I am not very anx-
ious for y® rest, relying so entirely as I do, on y' Candor to excuse any In-
accuracies you may meet with in w^ I have wrote. This only I have to

which, He says, are Assortm** of Coating : shou'd you rather incline to
wait for a choice out of These, if you will be so good as to give me y' Di-
rections, I will endeavour to attend to them. — Their common Rate of sell-
ing, for ready money, is at 100 p' cent, which I think is cheaper than with
you. A Vessel will clear out from hence for London, in ab' a week or ten
Days. I will be careful of any Letters you may want to put on Board.
They are still going on w"* th' subscript" for clear* y® Potomac, &, as I

have They yet got all They expect. Messrs. Jacques & Johnson set oflE

Dr. Ross yesterday shew'd me a Letter He had just received from Crog-

Boucher to Washington*
Annapolis, 1 October, 1770.
Dear Sir,
I much wish'd to have accompany'd Jack, but cannot: & what is worse,
we part on an Uncertainty, which may be disagreeable. I have some
Thoughts for setting off for S*. Mary's this week ; & if I do get away, I
can hardly expect to return again till I remove finally, which cannot well
be sooner than the latter end of next month, so that, if I do not come by
Mount Vernon, Jack needs not come hither, till you or He hear from me
again. — A quondam schoolfellow of Jack's wrote to me last week to apply
to Dr. Stephenson of Baltimore, to take Him to be inoculated. I have
done so ; & at y® same Time mentioned Custis to Him. He seem'd partic-
ularly desirous of having an opportunity of testifying his Esteem for you
by shewing civilities to any person connected with you. And, cou'd you by
any means resolve on this measure, I cannot but think the present a favour-
able Time, as there are now, or soon will be, many of his acquaintances
there on the same Errand.
Probably, ere long, you will find out that He has lost his watch ; & He
deserves to be severely reprimanded for his carelessness. 1 have the watch,
but do not card soon to put him out of Pain.
I heartily wish you an agreeable Tour thro' yonder Tramountain Re-
gions, & am, very truly &c.t

real Interests, we should not hare so many Complaints of children spoil'd
hj parental Indulgence.
It is not withoQt much Concern I own to yon, that yoar sentim^ of this
young Gentleman hare, for some Time, been my own. I hare obsery'd his
growing Passions taking this unpleasing Cast, without the Power of pre-
venting it To a youth, brought up in the calm, easy, & rational manner
that He has, the ordinary means of violent Restraint or Control!, wou'd, I
believe, rather defeat, than promote a Reformation. The system we set
out with, that of tender persuasion, must still be pursued : and tho' it may
not, perhaps, work a speedy cure, it certainly will in the End. I consider
his rising Passions as some little streamlet, swelling by successive Showers,
into something like a Torrent : you will in vain oppose its Course by Dams,
Banks, or mounds : & the only certain means to prevent its becoming mis-
chievous, is to lead it quietly along by a variety of canals, lessening its
Force, by dividing it. There are but two cases in which I can foresee
much real Danger to this young gentleman ; & if He can be preserved
from These I shall not be greatly apprehensive as to others. I mean his
Love of Ease, & Love of Pleasure. Pleasure of a kind exceedingly un-
common at his years. I must confess to you I never did in my Life know
a Youth so exceedingly indolent, or so surprisingly voluptuous : one w^
suppose nature had intended him for some Asiatic Prince. Against these
two insinuating & most dangerous Foes to all that is truly valuable in a
character, I have exerted all my opposition : and I trust not altogether
without success. For, in a contest of this sort, not to suffer a total Defeat
is in some measure to gain a victory. There is a Period in Life when these
Passions will wage a war with Reason ; and, if you can but keep them [at]
a stand, perhaps a reasonable man will be contented. It could not be, but
that at one Time or other M'. Cnstis must have been introduc'd into Life,
as 'tis caird : and is it not almost too much to expect from one brought up
in so very guarded a manner as He has, that He should pass the fiery Trial
unhurt ? He knows even now extremely little of the various Enjoyments
of social Life ; & yet he is peculiarly susceptible of them. Is it not better
then, think you, that He sh'd be suffered occasionally to mix in Company,
unreserved, while He can have the advantage of a monitor at Hand, even
tho' He shou'd, as indeed is too often the Case, go farther than one wou'd
wish ? It is, possibly, a misfortune to Him, that everywhere much notice
is taken of Him. Whether this may be owing to his Family, his Fortune,
His Manners, or his connexions, or all together, I will not now enquire :
But this is certain, that tho' I am often pleas'd with it, yet is it the source
of infinite Disquietude to me. It is here, as with you: He has many invi-
tations to Visits, Balls, & other Scenes of Pleasure, to which neither you
nor I can refuse his going — more especially, if we go ourselves. Indeed, I
do not know that it would be right to refuse, even if good manners wou'd
allow it. Yet so it is. He seldom or never goes abroad without learning
something I could have wisb'd Him not to have learn'd. There are not,
that I know of, more idle or pleasurable People in Annap*, than there are
in any other Town containing an equal number of Inhabitants : yet some how
or other He has contriv'd to learn a great Deal of Idleness & Dissipation
amongst them. One inspires Him with a Passion for Dress — ^Another for
Racing, Fox hunting &c.— even the grave Coll. Sharpe, you see, led him
to talk of Guns & Rifies, with much more satisfaction than I can persuade
Him to talk of Books, or literary subjects. In Truth, it is one of the worst
symptoms that I know of in Him, that He does not much like Books : &

yet I have been endeayovring to allure Him to it, by every artifice I could
think of. I hop'd that car^o of Books wou'd have done it. Let me, how-
ever, do Hia the Justice to own, that He has laboured under some Disad-
vantages in this Place: my late unsettled manner of Living has been unfa-
vourable to Him. He dislik'd the House we lodg*d at, & w^ some Reason.
I cou'd not always be with Him, nor He always at his Book ; & at such
Times, there was nobody in the House, with whom he could spend a leisure
Hour but tolerably agreeably. Unluckily too there lodged a youth with us,
of a character exactly calculated to spoil such a Lad as Custis. He is sen-
sible, wild, volatile, idle & good-natur'd. You will know that I allude to a
son of MK Sam : Galloway's.* I by no means aim to reproach the young
Gentleman, whom really I like exceedingly myself, yet can I not help giv-
. ing it as my Opinion that He has done your Ward more Harm than He or
his Family can easily make amends for. You cannot conceive w^ w^ De-
light Custis w^ listen to his droll Tales, & acc^ of his Pranks at school in
iCngland. — ^There is another Particular too which perhaps Discretion wou'd
bid me suppress, but which I think I cannot honestly conceal from you.
Sam. Galloway has also a Daughter, young & pretty. Out of Respect to
you, as I suppos'd, He frequently invited Custis to his House: it was disa-
greeable to me to be obliged to refuse Him, because it gave offence ; but I
believe He never was with her but twice— once when I was, & once when I
was not. It was about the Time of the Players being here. Miss Gallo-
way came to Town. Jack has a Propensity to the sex, which I am at a
Lioss how to judge of, much more how to describe. I observ'd somewhat
of a particular attention, exceeding bare civility to this young Lady. I
cook such steps as I judged most likely to wean Him in Time— and it was
done, I believe, effectually. I am asham'd to add, because it is but a mere
conjecture of my own, & imparted to you in great confidence, that I cou'd
not help thinking this gave some Disgust to the Family. I wou'd not will-
ingly suspect People without Cause : but, however absurd & foolish such a
Project must have been, were I to give you a Detail of all my Reasons, I
am inclined to believe you wou'd think as I do. I am mistaken, if you or
M". Washington have not also had an opportunity given you of penetra-
ting thro' such a Design. There are here, besides me, who think them
capable of it; tho' I do not know that there are any, besides myself, who
have suspected them in this Instance. But be my suspicions well or ill-
founded, I have very peremptorily refused an importunate application, re*
peatedly made to me since my last Return, to admit this s^ son of His into
my Family. — Let me have leave to request, that these surmises of mine,
which perhaps I have view'd in too serious a Light, may never transpire. I
can hardly need to say to you, that were it known, I shou'd have the whole
Family on my Back.
This is no pleasing Picture of his Conduct here : nor will it I fear, make
you much in Love with his situation. I have so often said how unwillingly
I shou'd part with the Boy, that I am afraid of being suspected of selfish-
ness, if after this, I still advise you to continue Him. Yet I do advise yon,
&, if I know my own Heart aright, with the most cordial & disinterested
sincerity. As I have already observ'd, he is now arriving fast to that Time
of Life, when he must mix with mankind : This He can nowhere do with-

out Danger ; & I think He will be in less here, than almost any where else,
and for a Reason which, did I not well know your Candor, I wou'd hardly
venture to assign. Because, I belieye, there is not (nor is it likely that
now there ever will be), another Person, who has such Influence over him
as I have. I hope I aui not deceiv'd in the persuasion, that he has a very
aflectionate Regard for me : & I am sure I can have no motives that shou'd
lead me to wish to deceive you, in assuring yon, that not the least of his
actions escapes my notice. I watch his every motion, & tho* he is perpetu-
ally doing something or other displeasing to me, yet, upon the whole, I still
hope & believe, he will turn out, if not a very clever, what is much better,
a good man. That he may, I shall not cease to use my best Endeavours,
as well as my fervent Prayers.
I am aware of the Expensiveness of his living here: to lessen it in some
measure, I have resolved to return his Horses back to you. He agrees they
shou'd not be sent to Him till Easter: nor then, indeed, unless you hear
more from us. Let us try what this winter's close application will do : We

CAPT. HOPESTILL FOSTER OF DORCHESTER, MASS.,
AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS.
By William H. Whitmobe, A.M., of Boston, Mass.
[Concluded from page 203.]
I now add one line of the descendants of Capt Hopestill Foster, through
his oldest daughter, in which I am specially interested.
Patience* Foster's Descendants.
Patience' Foster, second child and oldest daughter of Capt. Hopestill*
Foster, married Maj. Thomas^ Brown of Sudbury. This fact is fully made
evident by the deeds already published. Major Brown was a prominent
man at Sudbury, and was the son of William^ Brown, an original settler of
Sudbury, who married 15 Nov., 1641, Mary, daughter of Thomas Besbeech
or Bisby, by whom he had seven children. As one was named £dmund, it
is presumed that William was the brother of Rev. Edmund, the first minis-
ter of Sudbury. It is curious that William B. had a son Hopestill ; that
his son Major William married the daughter of Hopestill Foster; and that
another son, Edmund B., married the widow of Hopestill F., Jr.
William^ Brown of Sudbury was a deacon, captain and representative.
(See Hudson's History of Sudbury, page 35.)
His son, Major Thomas Brown, was born 22 May, 1645; a represen-
tative, captain in the Indian war, etc. (Hudson, page 86.) His first wife,
Patience Foster, died 15 Aug. 1703, not 1706, as wrongly printed by
• Some letters from Washington to Boucher, written in January and February, 1771,
will be found in my Writings of Washington, II., 318-319.

Hudson, page 570. Hia second wife, married 1 March, 1703-4, was Mary,
daughter of Dep. Gov. Thomas Danforth, and widow of Solomon Phipps
of Cambridge. Presumably, he had no issue by his second wife.
Major Brown's will (Middlesex Wills) is dated March 1, 1709. In it
he mentions wife Mary and seven daughters, viz :
• Mary,* m. 27 June, 1693; wife of [Jonathan] Willard. He d. 1706.
Thankful,* wife of Joseph Hubbard.

Elizabeth,* m. 7 Nov. 1708, [Hopestill] Bent.
Silence,* m. Herds.
Hannah.*
Eunice.*
also grandson Jonathan Willard; to son-in-law John Clapp, 20 shillings.
He mentions land in New England and also his property in Hedcorn and
Frettenden in co. Kent, Eng. (not Hedcorn and Tenterden, as Barry spells
them). These two parishes are about four miles apart, due north from
Cranbrook. Lydd is some twenty miles E. S. E. from Cranbrook.
Sewall ii., 255, writes: "Monday, May 9, 1709, Major Thomas Brown,
esqr., of Sudbury, was buried in the Old Burying place. Bearers, Cook,
Sewall, Eliakim Hutchinson, Townsend, Jeremiah Dummer, Paul Dudley.
Scarves and gloves."
By reference to Sewall ii., 286, it is certain that he meant the present
Granary yard.
Foster, Brown, Stonb Branch.
Of these children. Patience* Brown is called wife of Nathaniel Rice, but
her father expressly states that she is to have money enough to make up
£105, but that one half of the rest of her portion is to go to the surviving
children which she had by her first husband, Daniel Stone.
Temple's History of Framingham gives these particulars: Gregory^
Stone of Cambridge, deacon and representative, by wife Lydia (widow
Cooper) had six children born in England (Paige). Of these:
Daniel" Stone married Mary, daughter of John Moore of Sudbury
(widow of Richard Ward), and was a physician. He died between 6
Dec. 1686, and 6 July, 1687. (Paige. Hist, of Cambridge.)
Daniel' Stone, born 22 Nov. 1668, married as above noted, Patience
Brown, and died 22 Dec. 1702. He had one son and four daughters, of
whom the youngest, Lois,* born 21 Nov. 1701, married 18 March, 1723-4,
Moses Maynard of Sudbury.
Foster, Brown, Stone, Matnard Branch.
Moses' Matnard, who married Lois Stone, was grandson of John^ M.
of Sudbury, who was an early settler, and whose descendants are recorded
in the histories of Sudbury and Framingham. He is said to have married
Mary Axtell 14 June, 1646, and his son Zachary* Maynard was born 7
June, 1647. The father died 10 Dec. 1672.
Zachary^ Maynard of Sudbury, married in 1678 Hannah, daughter of
John Goodrich of Wethersfield, Conn., by whom he had several children,
the youngest son being Moses,* above-named as marrying Lois Stone 18
March, 1723-4.

Moses* Matnard of Sudbury, by wife Lois Stone, had (as by town
records) :
1. Hepzibah,* b. 21 Dec. 1724 ; m. Samuel Sherman.
ii. Samuel,* b. 20 Dec. 1726; m. Sarah Noyes.

vili. Daniel,* b. 23 Jan. 1741-2.
ix. Nathanibl,* b. 7 May, 1744 ; m. Martha Smith.
The will of this Moses* Maynard (Worcester Wills) is dated 1 1 April,
1782. He mentions wife Lois; heirs of son Samuel of Shrewsbury, de-
ceased; Moses M. of Rutland; heirs of son Micah, deceased; heirs of Jo-
siah ; Abigail, wife of Benjamin Fiske ; daughter Lois, wife of- Edward
How of Westmoreland ; heirs of son Nathaniel ; to my beloved son Daniel
Maynard he gives his homestead and makes him sole executor.
This homestead was in Sudbury.
Samuel* Matnard removed to Shrewsbury, where he married 22 Feb.
1749-50, Sarah, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Noyes. She was born ia
Sudbury 8 Jan. 1730-1. They had:
i. Danibl,* b. 25 Oct. 1750. •
ii. Samuel,* b. 8 March, 1762.
111. Sarah,* b. 29 April, 1754; d. 12 Oct. 1766.
He died 29 May, 1755, aged 28 years, His widow married Enoch
Kingsley of Windsor, Conn., in 1760. By an agreement in Worcester
Deeds, dated 10 March, 1762, it seems that there was a division made of
land left by Samuel Maynard lying in common and undivided with Daniel
Noyes, presumably his brother-in-law. It contained 106 acres and a plan
is recorded setting off 44 acres to Noyes. Then 62 acres, valued at £360,
was set off to Maynard's heirs, with a house, barn, etc., and also 30 other
acres of land. The widow Sarah Kingsley had her thirds or dower set off
for life.
This Shrewsbury homestead descended to his only surviving son, and the
house is still standing, though not owned by a Maynard.
Samuel^ Maynard had a son Samuel^ who was in the Continental army,
and died of small-pox at Ticonderoga, prior to May 5, 1776, as Samuel,
son of " Samuel, deceased, and his relict Sarah," was baptized at Sudbury
on that day. Sudbury records have the marriage of Samuel Maynard of
Shrewsbury to Sarah Noyes, 4 March, 1775. I find no further record of
this posthumous child.
Daniel* Matnard of Shrewsbury, married (says Ward, History of
Shrewsbury) Hannah, daughter of Samuel Harrington, in 1776, and per-
haps lived there a f^sr years. He had ten children, and died in the home-
stead 7 Feb. 1834; his widow died 1 April, 1838, aged 81. As his record
is given by Ward, I note only his third son.
Daniel* Matnard of Shrewsbury, who married 27 Nov. 1810, Zelinda,
daughter of Samuel Allen. The pedigree is fully set forth in the Allen
G^enealogy by Allen H. Bent, publishe^l in 1896. Their children were:

AN ACCOUNT OF DOCTOR WILLIAM SNELLING, WHO CAME
TO NEW ENGLAND IN 1647; ALSO OF HIS NEPHEW
JOHN SNELLING, WHO PROBABLY ACCOMPA-
NIED HIM; WITH A BRIEF NOTICE OF SOME
OF THE LATTER'S DESCENDANTS.
By Rev. Samuel Skbllxng, of Wliitemarsh, Pa.
Thb pedigree of the family of Snelling, of Chaddlewood, PlymptOD St.
Mary, goes back to 1529, the date of the first heraldic yisitation; and their
arms are thus recorded : " Argent, three griffins' heads erased gules and a
chief ermine/'* In the Book of the Visitation of Devonshire in 1620, the
Dame of the fourth son of Thomas Snelling, Esq., of Chaddlewood,
Plympton St. Mary, in the County of Devon ; and Johan (daughter and
heiress of Thomas Elford, Esq., of Bridge House) is given as William.
This William Snelling was a fine classical scholar, and a physician of the
best education possible at that time. He came to America early in 1647,
and settled in Newbury, Mass. Our first notice of him is the record of his
marriage, which reads as follows: " 5 July, 164d, was maryed at Boston
William ye fourth son of Thomas Snelling, Esquire, & Johan his wife
dwelling at Chaddlewood in Plympton Mary in Devon; & Margaret, eld-
est daughter of Gyles Stagge, gent, & Anne, his wife, dwelling at South-
warke in Barnaby Street at the sign of the Christopher." (Newhay Town
Records. Book I.) As the name of Stagge does not appear in any list of
early settlers, it is quite possible that this Margaret was the daughter of
Capt. Stagge, who commanded a London ship of 24 guns, which came to
Boston to announce the overthrow of the royal government, and proclaim
the Parliament. Shortly after his arrival in Newbury, Dr. SneUing pur-
chased an estate which he afterwards sold to Tristram Coffin. In Septem-
ber, 1651, we find the following court record: ^ This is to certify that we
the subscribers being called to testify against William Snelling for words
by him uttered, affirm that being in way of merry discourse, a health being
drank to all friends, he answered : —
" I'll pledge my friends, and for my foes ;
A plague upon their heels, and a poxe for their toes."
Since when he hath affirmed that he only intended the proverb used in the
West Country, nor do we believe that he intended otherwise.
William Thomas,
Thomas Milward."
"Mar. 12, 1651. All which I acknowledge, and am sorry I did not ex-
press my intent, or that I was so weak as to use so foolish a proverb.
Guilielmus Snelling." Nevertheless it is recorded that <' William Snelling
on his presentment for Cursing is fined 10 shillings & the fees of Court"!
In spite of this ofience in the eyes of strait-laced Puritanism, Dr. Snel-
ling was held in high esteem by his fellow-townsmen. Of this we have

1898.] Account of Doctor William Snelling. 343
evideDco in a letter from the Rev. John Wilson to John Winthrop, Jr.,
written on the 2**. of the 12'** mo. 1653: — " Honoured Sir, — Having some
hint that Master William Sneliing, late of Newbury, now sojourning in
Boston & practising in our parts, with very good reputation, is desired by
some judicious ones in your parts, that desire to promote the common good
there ; I could do no lesse, then, out of my owne good experience of him in
that kind, & my love to that end of the country than to encourage the mo-
tion thus far, — that I believe that he is an able & experienced physition,
well studied or versed both in the theory and practise, and that he may be
very useful where there is need, both in preventing <& curing of diseases of
all sorts, the Lord vouchsafeing to go along with his blessiug ; & if his ad-
vise & help were added to your owne in cases of difficulty, it would be a
singular priviledge to the country." ( WirUhrap Papers, Series 4. Vol. vii.
Mass. Hist Coll.) On the invitation of Mr. Winthrop, Dr. Snelling re-
moved to Boston in 1654. The writer has in his possession a very old copy
of a deed, which hore the seal with the family arms, wherein << William
Snelling, gent." sells to Tristram Ck)ffin of Salisbury ^^ a house & laud situ-
ate & being in Newburie in the County of Essex in New England : with a
. free-hould thereunto belonging." This deed was signed, sealed and deliv-
ered in the presence of two witnesses before Deputy Gov. Richard Bell-
ingham, who attached his signature to the document with these words:
^' William Snelling & Margaret his wife did acknowledge this deed before
me, and the said Margaret did voluntarily & freely give her consent to the
sale of the premises in this deed mentioned — being examined by me this
22 10«» mo. 1655. Ri. Bellingham, Dep. Gov^'."
On his removal to Boston, Dr. Sneliing purchased an estate on the north
corner of Winter street, consisting of a bouse and gardens with an orchard.
Not long afterwards he sold this estate and bought another in Charter
street, — two houses which he made one large building, by connecting them
by a sort of Gothic cloister. This structure, which stood in the midst of
extensive grounds, was torn down in 1750, or thereabouts. Dr. Snelliug
was employed as the town physician, and frequent reference to him is made
in the early records of Boston. For example: '^ April 25, 1660. It is
ordered that the Treasurer shall pay Mr. Snelling fifty four shillings for
physick administered to Robert Higgins." His name also appears as a wit-
ness to several wills. Among his dhief friends were Nathaniel Wales and
Edward Rawson. The latter, who was Secretary of the Colony for 36 years,
the Doctor made his executor, and mentioned in his will as " my faithful &
loving kinsman, Mr. Eklward Rawson." Dr. JSnelling's wife Margaret, who
was greatly beloved and respected, died on the 18th of June, 1667. And
among the earliest inscriptions in Whitmore's Copp's Bill Epitaphs is one
that reads as follows : — ^^ Margaret, ye wife of William Snelling, aged 46
jeares, deceased the 18 day of June 1667." Two children survived her;
William, born 24 June, 1649, and Anne, born 7 May, 1654. William
adopted his father's profession, and became a physician. He married Mar-
garet, widow of William Rogers, by whom he had one child, a daughter.
He died, together with his wife and child, in the terrible visitation of small
pox in the winter of 1677-78. Anne was married to Francis Davenport,
whom she survived twenty years, dying in 1697.
On the 7th of May, 1674, Dr. Snelling made his will, which bears his
seal with the family arms. This will is valuable not only as affording clear
evidence of his descent from an old Devonshire family, but as an expression
of hia deep religious feeling. "Boston in New England this 7th of May,

I give & bequeath unto my only son, William Snelling, all my Physick
books & Books of Chirurgerie in Latin & English, excepting three or four
English books treatises on Physicke, & Recipes, which my daughter, Anne,
may desire & choose to enjoy " After leaving one of his houses to his
son, William, together with a clear half of the orchard extending back to
the street, Dr. SnelliDg also bequeaths to him '^ my silver Seale, as being
most proper for him." To his daughter, Anne, he leaves the other house
with various house-hold goods, and the remaining half of the orchard ex-
tending back to the street. He also commends her most affectionately to
the care of his faithful friends, Mr. Edward Rawson and Rachel his wife
(Dr. Snelling's cousin), begging that she will not marry without their con-
sent and approbation. Dr. Snelling died early in November, 1674. A few
days after his decease we find it recorded that ^ Mr. Edward Rawson &
John Maverick appeared before Jno. Leverett esq*". Gov®' & Edward Tyng

knowledge. This was done as Attest, ffree Grace Bendall, Record"
The eldest brother of Dr. William was John Snelling, Esq., of Chaddle-
wood. In Foster's Alumni OxonienseSy we find this notice of him : — ^" Snell-
iiige, John, of Devon, gent. Exeter Coll., matric. 3 March 1597-8. Aged
17." In 1604, he married Frances, daughter of Walter Hele, Esq., of
Gnaton, in the Parish of Newton Ferrers. (See Polwhele's History of
Devonshire^ Vol. II., p. 328.)* The Register of the Parish of Plympton
St. Mary tells us that the youngest son of this John Snelling of Chaddle-
wood and Frances Hele his wife, was named John, and was baptized 17
January, 1624-25. This is also stated in Lt. Col. Vivian's Amplification
of the Visitations of the County of Devon, p. 694. John Snelling of Chad-
dlewood died Dec. 27, and was buried Dec. 28, 1639, at Plympton St.
Mary. (Inq. p. m. 16 Chas. I., pt. I, No. 3L) His youngest son, John,
probably came with Dr. William Snelling to America.
The first record of this John Snelling is at Saco, Maine, where his name
appears in the list of freemen in 1653. He is also mentioned in Folsom's
History of Saco, page 183. He removed to Boston in 1657, and there
married Sarah Seilgwick, by whom he had five children; in 1671, some

law case carried him to Ipswich, where the foUowiDg record is preserved :
'^ John Snelling, aged 43 years or thereabouts, sworn Sept. 21, 1671 before
Edward Tyng, Assistant," (No. 5, Ipswich Papers on JUe,) He died in
Boston Nov. 1672, just two years before his uncle, Dr. William Suelling.
An old family paper, dating back to the early part of the last century, ex-
pressly states that he was the latter's nephew. Letters of administration on
his estate were granted to his widow, Sarah, 13 Nov. 1672. She was alive
in 1677.
John and Sarah Snelling had children :

Joseph Snelling, son of the above John and Sarah, developed early in
life a fondness for the sea. When a young man he went to England and
learned ship-building in the King's Yard, at Deptford, where the Tzar Pe-
ter the Great was then studying naval architecture. He was in Boston,
however, at the time of the seizure of Sir Edmond Andros, and took a
prominent part in the popular uprising on that occasion. Later, he sailed
as a captain in the employ of Mr. Nathaniel Henchman, merchant In
November, 1707, he purchased a large house at the foot of Charter street,
near his father's, and opposite his great-uncle Dr. William Snelling's. He
was married by the Rev. Samuel Willard, July 19, 1694, to Rebeckah, one
of the daughters of Mr. Jonathan Adams. Joseph Snelling died Aug. 15,
1726, and was buried at Copp's Hill, where four years later his widow, Re-
beckah, was laid to rest beside him. Their tombstones, which were highly
ornamented, are in a good state of preservation, and bear these inscrip-
tions : —

Captain Jonathan Snelling, eldest son of Joseph and Rebeckah Snel-
ling, received a good education, and, like his father, adopted a sea-faring
life. He first went to sea as mate, and afterwards as captain of a ship ;
and it was not long before he became known as *^ one of the finest ship-
masters that sailed out of Boston." He first went up the Mediterranean,
but afterwards sailed between London and Boston. It is related of Capt.
Snelling, that when mate of a vessel laden with wine, on the passage home
from the Mediterranean, the ship was taken by corsairs or Turks, who im-
prisoned the crew below the hatches, and ordered the captain and mate to
YOL. LII. 26

remain on deck, and steer for the Moorish coast The corsairs, finding the
cargo was wine, went below, and were soon carousing in the cabin. See-
ing the opportunity the situation offered, Mr. Snelling desired the captain
to go down and give the pirates as much wine as they would take, detaining
them as long as possible. To this the captain assented ; and the corsairs
were soon deep in drink. Then Mr. Snelling, rapidly loosening the fore-
hatches where the American crew were confined, with their aid very quickly
overpowered the pirates, and put them all in irons. On the arrival of the
ship at London, where they carried the prisoners, Mr. Snelling was greatly
applauded for this exploit; and being presented to the king, had the honor
of kissing his majesty's hand.
On one of his return voyages from London, Capt. Snelling's vessel was
evidently long overdue, and occasioned great anxiety; for we find this refer-
ence to the fact in the diary of the Hon. Paul Dudley:—" Oct 23 1740.
Capt. Snelling safely arrived from London at last"* Captain Snelling
spent much time in London, and while there attended the ministry of the
celebrated Dr. Watts. He was also a great friend to Mr. Whitefield,
whom he entertained as his guest, when the great orator was in Boston and
preached at the new North church (which was directly opposite Capt
Snelling' s house). The chime of bells for the North church, which were
associated with stirring events at a later period, was brought from London
by Capt Snelling. His name appears as that of one of the original sub-
scribers for these bells. On the 16th of March, 1744, Grovemor Shirley
appointed Captain Snelling to the command of the frigate MolineuXy at the
setting out of the expedition against Cape Breton. The original commis-
sion, signed by the Governor, is now on exhibition in the Old South Mu-
seum Collection. It begins in this manner: — "William Shirley, Esq'.
Captain General & Govemour in chief in & over His Majesty's Province
of the Massachusetts Bay in New England. To Jonathan Snelling, Gen-
tleman, Greeting." The royal Commission from King George II. is also
on exhibition in the same Collection. Later on, Capt Snelling was ap-
pointed to the command of the 0<B8ar, a frigate of 20 guns, which sailed
with Commodore Warren's fleet In a record of prizes taken by this fleet,
appears the following item : — " May 2 by Capt. Snelling, a ship loaden
with provisions from Brest to Cape Breton, 14 guns, 27 men." (^New-Eng,
Hist, and GeneaL Beg., Vol. 27, p. 160.) The Ocesar was in action at
Louisburg, and did good service at that memorable siege. (See Narrative
and Crii, HiH. of America, Ed, by Justin Winsor. Vol. V., p. 438.)
Capt Snelling, Nov. 22, 1723, married Mary Sears, by whom he had
four children. He died in 1755, and was buried at Copp's Hill.

Communicated by E. C. Felton, Esq., of Steelton, Pa., being the result of investiga-
tions made for him in England.
There can be no kind of doubt that for the origin of families bearing
the name Skelton, we must look to the North of England. They took it
from one or other of the places so called, of which there are several in that
part of the kingdom, to which, in the main, they appear to be confined.
As instances, the following may be mentioned, whilst for the persons who
are specified, who lived in the thirteenth century, the authority is the
Patent Roll of the year. In Cumberland is the parish of Skelton near
Penrith, and in 2 Edward L, Christiana de Skelton was defendant in an
action respecting land in that parish, and in another. In Yorkshire are
these: East Riding, the township of Skelton in the parish of Howden;
North Riding, the parish of Skelton-in-Cleveland; West Riding, the ham-
let of Skelton in the parish of Leeds, and the township of Skelton in the
parish of Ripon. Without further indication, save that all the places were
in Yorkshire, we find in 4 Edward I., William, son of Robert de Skelton,
contesting with William, son of William de Scelton, the possession of land
in Skelton, and in the same year, a suit was depending against Master John
de Skelton in respect of land in Skelton. At a later period, in 1417, Richard
de Skelton the younger, of Cumberland, and in 1418, Richard Skelton of
Carlisle, are named in the French Rolls, as in the retinue of the Duke of
Gloucester, and taking part in the subjection of the northern provinces of
France. Possibly both entries refer to the same person. This list is not
put forward as exhaustive, but it will at least justify what has been said,
which is confirmed by other evidence. In the Prerogative Court of Canter-
bury, prior to the year 1500, there are just two Skelton wills, whilst of
administrations there is not one. On the other hand, in the corresponding
Court of the Northern Province, within the same period, there are from
the county of York alone, the records of no fewer than seventeen Skel-
tons, testate or intestate, more than half of whom were domiciled in the
city of York. In order to comprehend the full force of these statistics, it
must be borne in mind that the Province of York then comprised only
the ^ve northern counties and the county of Nottingham, whilst the South-
ern Province embraced all the rest of the kingdom.
One or two of what are believed to be the earliest Skelton wills on
record may be briefly referred to, by reason of the connection between per-
son and place which they also serve to establish. The first is that of Adam
de Skeltone, which is dated at Skeltone on the Feast of St. Luke the
Evangelist (18 October) A.D. 1330. As the testator possessed real estate in
London, so much of the will as relates to that real estate was enrolled in the
Court of Husting of the City, which is all we know of the document. Whether
the Skelton of the testator was in Cumberland or Yorkshire does not
appear. Next comes the will of Nicholas de Skelton of York, which bears
date 1899, and was proved at York, May 20, 1402, and after that the will

of Dame Constance de Skelton, of Skelton in the county of York, which is
dated in 1402, and was proved also at York, June 8 in the same year. As
she desired to be buried in the adjoining parish of Gisburn, her Skelton was
that in the parish of Ripon, in which a Ralph Skeldon was living as late
as 1639.
The derivation of the name, Dr. Barber is good enough to say, is from
Skeel, a Danish personal name, and tiin, the old Norse for a fortified town
or settlement. In Domesday Book it is found as Scheltnn, which was prob-
bly pronounced Skaleton, as we find it so written in one of the Patent
Rolls already cited. The variations in the orthography are so common-
place that it is needless to particularize them.
It is precisely in the North of England, namely in Yorkshire, that tradi-
tion, or what passes for it, makes the emigrant to have been born, adding
that he was beneficed in Lincolnshire. Tradition, whilst it can never be
regarded as authority, is yet always to be treated with the respect which is
due to whatever is suggestive. Taking the hint, and with the knowledge
that the name is still common in that great county, it was to Yorkshire
that attention was given in the first instance.
Preliminary investigations pointed so unmistakeably to a district of which
the town of Pickering, in the North Riding, may be taken as the centre
that local researches were there entered upon. Special mention must be
made of Sinnington, a retired village a few miles west of that town. The
parish register shows many Skeltons of a suitable period, and also that
Samuel was a favorite Christian name during a long series of years. Indeed
in the churchyard is a gravestone of a Samuel Skelton who died as recently
as 1827. A gap of twenty years in the register, occurring at a critical period,
was felt to be unfortunate, but upon the whole this beginning by no means
promised badly. Fortified by it, investigations were undertaken in the Pro-
bate Registry at York where, as was anticipated, Skelton wills proved to be
very numerous, but not one seemed to have any bearing upon the family to
which the emigrant belonged. The archiepiscopal records furnished a like
negative result but, quite unexpectedly, new and important facts were brought
to light* respecting another interesting early emigrant, which in brief are
these : Francis Higginson was ordained deacon at Cawood Castle, September
25, 1614, by Toby Mathew, Archbishop of York, his title being the curacy of
Scredingham or, as now written, Scrayingham, and to priest's orders he was
admitted at Bishopthorpe by the same archbishop, December 8, 1614.
Moveover, the archbishop conferred on him the rectory of Barton-in-Fabis,
Nottinghamshire, and although he was instituted April 20, 1615, it appears
certain he was never inducted and therefore never received any of the fruits
of the benefice nor, we may take it, discharged any of the duties. His suc-
cessor was instituted, on his resignation, just a year afterwards, AprU 4, 1616.
There is evidence that for at least a century kindly relations had sub-
sisted between the Higginsons and the Warwickshire Mathews, and this
may have led to an introduction to the Archbishop, who was of a Bristoliau
family.
From Yorkshire to Lincolnshire is not a long step. Taking first those
records which are authorities for the admission to benefices, whilst various
Skeltons are shown to have held livings in the county in the seventeenth
century, not one was found who bore the name Samuel. This afforded scanty
support to tradition, but the reason of it was rendered manifest by later

developments. In the latter part of the thirteenth century, a WiHiam de
Skelton, of Cumberland, was Treasurer of the Cathedral Church of Lincoln,
and therefore an ecclesiastic To the Cumberland line also belonged, it is
said, John Skelton, who was likewise an ecclesiastic, and was moreover
the famous poet-laureate of Henry VI II., and, on the excellent authority
of the late Mr. Dyce, is to be regarded as one of the fathers of the English
drama.
The wills at Lincoln range themselves under two principal heads, and
first those which are scattered through the Episcopal Registers during up-
wards of two centuries, beginning with 1320. Abstracts of all have been
printed, but the only Skelton named in them, who is at all likely to have
been a Lincolnshire man, is William Skelton who is mentioned in the will
of a merchant of Lincoln in 1417. Under the second head come the wills
in the Probate Registry, the records of which begin with probates granted
in 1506, and a few other wills which remain in another repository. All
these received the attention they deserve, and the same may be said of the
wills of other persons which, for one reason or other, it seemed desirable to
examine.
It would be tedious and is unnecessary to detail at length all the steps
which followed, and will be more to the purpose to come to the point at
which the first tangible result was obtained. This was in Lincolnshire,
and we will endeavor to convey an idea of the locality.
The towns of Bourn, which is in the south of the county, near the con-
fines of Rutland, and Sleaford, which is eighteen miles to the north, are
connected by a branch line of the Great Northern Railway. Midway
between the two is the station of Billingborough, little more than a mile to
the southwest of which a church is a conspicuous object. It stands on
elevated ground, overlooking a vast fen district, alone, remote from
dwellings, and approached only by tracks across the fields. This is Semp-
{^ngham Chnrch-^the church of a parish of extensive area, comprising
the chapelries of Pointon and Birthorpe, but the houses which formed the
village whence it took its name, and which clustered round the church and
the priory, long ago vanished. When the priory was laid waste, its materials
were used in the erection of the Manor House, a seat of the Earls of Lincoln,
and it too has been destroyed, though its site may be readily distinguished
on the ground.
In the parish register of Sempringham are the following entries :
1619. Samuel Skelton and Susanna Trauis were married the 27^i» of Aprill
1619.
1621. Baptized. Sarah the daughter of M' Samuel Skelton baptized August
xij'»»
Buryed. Sarah the daughter of M' Samuel Skelton bur. August 27^^
Hitherto neither the surname nor the Christian name of the emigrant's wife
had been ascertained, and the daughter Sarah is an addition to the list of
his children. As M.A. the emigrant had a right to be, and it was in
accordance with usage that he should be, styled M'. Moreover it was
required that, in order to authenticate them, the parish register transcripts,
which were to be sent in yearly, should be signed by the incumbent, and
the churchwardens. Now the Sempringham transcript for 1620 is signed
by Samuel Skelton as incumbent, and by Robert Obre and Thomas Seagrave
as churchwardens. That for 1621 is similarly signed, the only change
being that Thomas Wright had become churchwarden in the room of Thomas
Seagrave. It follows that, as respects the baptism and the burial of

little Sarah, besides the register, which certainly was not kept by Skelton
himself, we have the transcript certified by her father's hand. Of Samuel
Skel ton's signature to the earlier transcript, a &c-8imile of the exact size of
the original was taken by permission, and is here copied from the autotype
reproduction.
To recapitulate, we have a Samuel Skelton who was M.A., who was in
orders, and who was beneficed in Lincolnshire — points all of which agree
with what was known or reasonably alleged of the emigrant who, none can
doubt, is the individual whom these records bring before us.
This then is the sum and substance of what can be found at Sempring-
ham and in its transcripts — not great in bulk, but weighty and of the first
moment.
After the husband comes the wife, and the next point which claimed
investigation was the parentage of the emigrant's wife. As to this, there
was no clue, traditional or otherwise, and therefore nothing remained hot
to examine whatever documents might be deemed likely to serve the pur-
pose, and notably the registers of neighboring parishes. In the course of
the tour, a visit was paid to Horbling, a village two miles north of Semp-
ringham Church, but it was only to find that the register does not begin
until 1653. However, Lincolnshire is famous for its transcripts, and they
have been rescued from chaos, sorted and arranged by the liberality of the
present Bishop of Lincoln, Dr. Edward King. Here then, in the Horbling
transcripts, was found all that could be desired, as the following baptismal
entry will show:
Susan daughter of Willm Travis the 11. Sept. 97.
Susan Travis had a brother William who was baptized June 14, 1590,
and a sister Mary, February 10, 1605-6.
The will of William Travis, of Horbling, father of Skel ton's wife, was
found. It bears date April 22, 1635, when both his daughter Susan and
her husband had passed away, far from him and from their native land. It
names his son William, his daughter Mary, who was then the wife of one
Muston, some grandchildren, and the poor of the parish, but contains no
mention of any Skelton. The testator describes himself as a yeoman, and
he had evidently been engaged in farming pursuits, but had retired from
business, and was probably living with his daughter Mary, to whom, on her
marriage, he had given all his household stuff and, with trifling exceptions,
his farming stock also. The will was proved June 17, 1635, and is on
record at Lincoln. Travis wills are more numerous in Leicestershire than
in Lincolnshire.

The ecclesiastical history of SempriDgham has so important a bearing
upon Samuel Skelton, and is besides so interesting that, whilst much might
be said respecting it, some little may not be omitted. Its Chronicle or An-
nals in the Vatican go back, it is asserted, to the year 400.'*^ But not until
some centuries later do we meet with the man who is head and shoulders
taller than all others who were ever connected with the place, who, canon-
ized a few years after his death, is known as S. Gilbert of Sempriugham,
and who was the founder of the only English monastic order, called from
him the Gilbertine. Born in the immediate neighborhood a few years after
the Conquest, he was of gentle blood and, having perfected his education at
Paris, took up his abode at the place with which bis name is associated iu
so lasting a manner. Here he founded a monastery, the small beginnings
of which are visible about 1140, endowing it with large landed estates and,
what is of more immediate concerq^ assigning to it the parish church,
whereupon the monks, with the license of the King and the Pope, became
perpetual incumbents. The lore of appropriations, as they are called, and
the evils which sprang from them, have been set forth with much learning
by Dr. Samuel Pegge, a famous antiquary of the last century, in Appendix
No. Vn. to The Life of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincobi;f to which
those who may desire enlightenment will do well to refer. In the diocese
of Lincoln, at any rate, a remedy was not long in coming, for Bishop Hugh
de Wells (1209-1235) established vicarages in nearly three hundred rec-
tories which had been appropriated to monastic houses. This was done, of
course, with the assent, in each case, of the house to which the rectory had
been appropriated, and which naturally became thereupon patron of the
vicarage. By the ordination of Sempringham, to be seen in the Bishop's
Register, an endowment was provided such as, in its equivalent for the time
being, any incumbent would be well content to receive, and so matters con-
tinued until the great upheaval of the sixteenth century.
What the Reformation did for Sempringham can only be described as
spoliation the most utter and unsparing, not alone of the Priory and its
possessions, but even of the endowment of the Vicarage. That which the
saintly founder had dedicated for all time to God and His Church was first
seized by the sovereign and soon afterwards transferred to other lay hands.
Moreover the benefice, losing its ancient status, was treated as a donative,
whjch the proprietor could fill of his own absolute will, independently of the
Bishop, and of any ecclesiastical ceremony whatsoever — in fact, just as he
would admit a tenant to a vacant farm or house. This explains how it
comes about that for a long period subsequent to the Reformation, and un-
til the ancient order was restored, after Skelton's day, the records usually
available in such cases are silent respecting Sempringham.
Passing over the intervening period, on February 3, 1612-13, the King
granted in fee simple to Francis Morice, esquire, and Francis Pkelipps,
gentleman, as the nominees of various other persons, estates of such mag-
nitude in different parts of England that the enumeration of them occupies
some yards in length of the Patent Roll (10 James I., part 22 (1964) No.
3). In Lincolnshire, are what are described as the Rectories and Churches
of Sempringham and Stow Green, with all buildings, glebe lands, tithes,
and other appurtenances to them belonging, which it is stated were part of
the possessions King Edward VI. received on exchange with Lord Clinton,
thus bearing witness that certain chopping and changing had taken place
since the confiscation of the Priory and its possessions.

352 Samuel JSkelton, First Minister at Salem. [Jaly,
The mention, now made for the first time of Stow Green, calls for a
word or two of explanation. In August, 1268, the Prior and Convent of
Semprtngham, taking advantage of the King's presence at Lincoln, obtained
from him there the grant of a fair to be held yearly on June 23, 24 and 25,
in their Manor of Stow. (Charter Roll, 52 Hen. IIL, (No. 62) m. 6.)
The spot chosen for the fair was Stow Green, which is in the parish of
Threckingham, two miles north-west of Sempringham church, and there it
is still held, but the date appears to have been changed to one more suitable
for an agricultural community. It was not only a great convenience to the
monks, but by its tolls added to their revenues, and the church of the Pa-
tent Roll was simply a chapel, which was erected, doubtless by them, for
the benefit of the crowds who flocked to their fair. The church of Threck-
ingham was not an appropriation of theirs, whilst that of Sempringham
was, and hence we may infer they procured that its vicar should be charged
with the celebration of the divine offices in the chapel. The connection
ceased at the Reformation, and the chapel has long been destroyed, hot
its site, adjoining a recognized Roman road, is identified.
The grant shows incidentally that at some time before its dat« £20 •per
annum had been charged upon the Rectory as the stipend or salary of the
Vicar, and this the grantees bound themselves by their covenant to dis-
charge. This sum, equal to about £80 at the present day was, therefore,
the measure of Skelton's vicarial income. By the grant, the right of pat-
ronage was reserved to the Crown, and hence, so far as can be seen, it was
to the Crown that Skelton owed his preferment.
The church of Sempringham is one of the oldest and most interesting in
the diocese of Lincoln. The original Norman building was cruciform, with
a tower at the intersection, but the transepts have been removed, and the
present tower, which is of good perpendicnlar work, dating about 1425,
occupies the site of the Norman tower. The most important feature, which
is of early Norman date, is, however, that brought before us in the glowing
words, penned nearly fifty years ago, of a local architect. '* Through that
magnificent doorway, which is yet in the south side, almost as perfect as
when it left the workman's hand, many a time has passed the good S. Gil-
bert at the head of his Chapter; and those fine old fir doors, so splendidly
ornamented with iron scrolls, have closed upon them while they worshipped
God, or deliberated upon the business of their Order."* It need hardly be
said that features such as these, which carry us back to a time five centuries
before Skelton's day, still attract the ecclesiologist, the antiquary, and the
architect to the spot where he once ministered. The view, here given, of
the south side, is from a photograph. t
In further prosecution of the work, recourse was had to the wills at Lin-
coln of a later date than those which had been looked up for the ancestry
of the emigrant. Attention was attracted by one of a Samuel Skelton who
describes himself as of Tattershall in the county of Lincoln, innholder.
What is to be said on this head can be said more conveniently hereafter,
but the immediate step which followed on this discovery was a search of the
register of the parish in which the testator had resided.

t Since this was written, it has been announced that Her Mi^esty the Queen, who is
a lar^e landowner in the parish, has promised £100 towards a porch which it is pro-
posea to erect in order the better to protect this noble doorway urom the weather.

1898.] Samuel Skelton^ First Minister at Salem. 353
Tattersball, as the crow flies, is seventeen miles nortb-east of Sempring-
ham and, like it, on the border of the fens, and here also was a seat of the
£arls of Lincoln. The Castle, which was their residence, has long been
levelled with the ground, but its Keep is the most striking object that pre-
sents itself to the traveller by railway in the flat district between Lincoln
and Boston. The chimney-pieces in the upper floors are in remarkable
preservation, and are perfect genealogical studies in the sculptured heraldry
they display. It is not, however, the possessors in the seventeenth century
whose alliances and lineage they illustrate, but those of their predecessors,
the Crom wells, by one of whom, who died about 1455, the Castle, as well
as the noble church, unfinished at his death, was erected. A writer, who
has recently attributed the Castle to a later period, falls into an error which
very slight inquiry would have prevented. He also prints " Hooper " in-
stead of « Hooker."
The Skelton entries at Tattersball, of which the first is in 1575, are
not numerous during the earlier period, but become more frequent after-
wards. How important to our purpose some of them are, the following
will show :
1622.
Samvell sone to M'. Samvell Skelton baptized 8 day of January.
26t»» March 1626 to 26t»» March 1626.
Suzanah dovghter to M'. Samvell Sceltone Baptized 3 of Aprill.
Anno Dom'i 1627.
26»»» March 1627 to 25^ March 1628.
Mary daughter of M'. Samvell Skelton Bapt. June 28.
Here, then, we have the three children who accompanied their parents
to New England, and whose names are found in the records of Salem,
where also is the name of a fourth and younger child.
There is nothing to indicate that Samuel Skelton was charged with
any parochial duty at Tattersball. On the contrary, the evidence points
the other way. In matters ecclesiastical, the position was very similar to
that of Sempringham, and in the records where what is desired might
naturally be looked for is nothing respecting its incumbents. Here again
then the register, supplemented by what few transcripts have been pre-
served, comes in most usefully. As respects transcripts, Tattersball is in
marked contrast to the majority of Lincolnshire parishes, for the file only
contains Aye, each being for but a single year, and the period which they
cover begins at Michaelmas, 1561, and ends at Lady-day, 1632. For-
tunately one is for the year ending in March, 1624, when Skelton was
certainly residing in the parish, and this is signed, in a very neat and
legible hand, by *' Barjo : Dovue," as minister, and the two churchwardens,
James Pawson and Thomas Watkinson. Again, in 1628, when Skelton
was also there, William How signs the original register, giving himself the
title of curate, which in such a case was the correct designation of the in-
cumbent. This last name suggests the inquiry whether Skelton, whilst
living at Tattersball, may not have known Francis Higginson, who in the
near future was to be his colleague at Salem. A William How was the
incumbent or the lecturer, 1614-1617, of the parish of S. Nicholas, Lei-
cester, in which from 1617, or thereabouts, to his emigration, Higginson
discharged certain ecclesiastical functions, styling himself, in his own hand-
writing, at first " minister," and afterwards " lecturer."
From what has gone before, it will be seen the question arises how was
Skelton occupied at Tattersball, for we may be sure he was not idle. In his
Digitized by VjOOQIC
354 Samuel Skeltouy First Minister at Salem. [July,
day it was a coveted privilege to be in the household of a noble family,
and persons who, after the fashion of the time, are called '* servants/' were
often relatives of the lord or lady. Skelton is found first at one seat of
the Earl of Lincoln, and immediately afterwards at another, and it is by no
means improbable that he was the domestic chaplain. If we suppose that
Susan Travis was likewise attached to the Earl's household, the choice which
was made of Sempringham for the celebration of the marriage is ex-
plained, notwithstanding that her father and other near relations were living
hard by, in a neighboring parish. Simon Bradstreet the younger, who
became so important a figure in New England history, was, it is said, as
a youth, in the household of the Earl.
The will of the innholder of Tattershall is dated 15 February, 16
Charles II. (A.D. 1663-4). He names his wife Margaret, his eldest son
Samuel, and three other sons, Zerubbabel, Israel and Nathaniel. He
makes specific mention of a silver bowl which, after his wife's death, was
to pass to his eldest son, and no doubt, though it is not so stated, was
to be regarded as a heirloom. His means were modest, and he was troa-
bled with debts which his wife was to pay off by yearly instalments out of
the proceeds of the business. His wife and his cousin John Skelton were
supervisors and overseers. The executors were the sons Israel and Natha-
niel, but being under age, they could not act, and March 1, 1663-4, the
Court granted administration, during their minority, to their mother.)
The point of interest is, of course, who was the testator? Was he the
only son of the emigrant? Touching that son, the records of Salem sap-
ply sundry particulars to which it is necessary to refer. The first docu-
ment is a deed dated 21, 12 mo. (February), 1643 (Essex Deeds, Book I.
leaf 1), when he had just attained his majority, showing that the moment he
was in a position to sell, he disposed of four acres of the paternal allot-
ment in Salem, after which he returned to the old country, and nothing
more is heard of him in New England.
Another deed, dated 30th March, 15 Charles II. (A.D. 1663), is re-
corded in Book II. leaf 71, of Essex Deeds, and was acknowledged before
Endicott, the Governor, in the August following — 14: 6: 68 is how it
stands — by a person who had seen it signed, but whose name does not ap-
pear as a witness. The substance of it is that about 1649 Skelton had
sold other land in Salem, which also had been his father's, to one Porter
for £40, to be paid by instalments. In 1659, Porter had given bond for
what then remained due which, whatever may have been itfif amount, was
cleared off in 1663, and this deed, in the nature of a final release, was
executed. It will be observed that in dating it, the colonial formula is dis-
carded, and gives place to that which was customary in England, whilst
Endicott in his memorandum of the time of acknowledgement, reverts
to that which was in use around him. The deed shows on its face that
Skelton was not then in America, for the money was sent to him by the
hand of an intermediary, one ^^John Brackenbury of Charlestowne Mare-
nour." It may be simply an accidental coincidence, but yet is worth
mentioning that a few years later, in 1671, a John Brackenbury was mar-
ried at Scrivelsby, six miles from Tattershall.
To finish with the Salem deeds, we may here interpolate what they
make known respecting the emigrant's youngest child, whose name was
Elizabeth. She bad married Bol^rt Sanford of Boston in the Bay Colony,
and of her and her husband the same Porter purchased her portion of the
land which had belonged to her father, and it was made over to him by a

deed which, though given in 1652 was not recorded until 1661. (Essex
I>eed8, Book II., leaf 25.) She, like her brother, no doubt sold directly she
came of age, thus giving 1631 as the date of her birth, which was after the
emigration.
The natural place in which to look for the younger Skelton, after his
return to England, is that which had been the home of his family before
their departure, and this is exactly what we find, for the will of the inn-
holder of Tattershall renders it impossible to doubt that in him we have
the emigrant's only son. The names which he gave to the sons whom he
mentions prove how fondly he cherished the memory of his Salem days.
Zerubbabel was the name of a son of Governor Endicott, and Nathaniel of
the testator's brother-in-law, the emigrant ancestor of the Feltons of the
United States, a leading man at Salem who, born a few years before the
testator, was destined to outlive him by more than forty years.
Turning again to the parish register of Tattershall, after 1627, with the
exception of the marriage of a William Skelton in 1637, there is no Skel-
ton entry until 1644, when there is the burial, June 4, of Margaret, daughter
of Samuel Skelton, which is the first trace we have of him in the record
after his baptism. The baptism of the daughter is not found, so she may have
been bom at Salem, and there is also, in 1662, the burial of another daughter
Margaret, whose baptism in like manner does not occur, but it is evident
the register was not carefully kept From 1644, for half a century to come
are entries relating to the children of the younger Skelton, and also to his
children's children. Of the first-mentioned, we have the four sons who are
named in his will; Samuel baptized in 1645; Zerubbabel in 1647; Israel
in 1650, and Nathaniel born in 1656, when the registration of birth for a
brief period supplanted that of baptism. There was also a son John, who
like the daughter or daughters Margaret, died before the father made his
will. The only son whose descendants the register enables us to trace is
Nathaniel, and his children were Margaret, 1680; Elizabeth, 1683 ; Samuel,
1684-5; Nathaniel, 1687. Their father was buried May 12, 1695, and a
sister Margaret, March 14, 1695-6. Thus the line of the emigrant, with
the family Christian names affectionately preserved, is continued to the close
of the seventeenth century.
The Court Rolls of the Manor of Tattershall furnish some details respect-
ing Samuel Skelton, son of the emigrant, which deserve to be noted.
The Rolls begin with the proceedings at a Court held April 20, 1654, when
the jurors start with the following presentments :
Thomas Lawe gent for brewing & selling Ale & beere contrary > ^a ac ru
toy statute 5 ""•"^•"*
Bridgett CuUyer for the like 00.00.06
Bichard Parr for the like 00.00.06
Samuell Skelton for the like 00.00.06
and seven others who are named. At several subsequent Courts Samuel
Skelton was amerced for a similar offence, which is sometimes expressed as
breaking the assize of ale and beer, that is, selling those commodities at a
higher rate than for the time being had been fixed by law. In 1658 he
was chosen one of the two Dyke Reeves, an important office in the fen
district, the duties of which consisted in seeing that the drains dividing the
fields were kept clear and offered no impediment to the free passage of
water. In the same year he was amerced sixpence for selling ale out-of-
doors at two pence a quart, and a shilling for the sewer in his field being
defective, which was rather unlucky for one holding his office. Twice he

bad to pay for winnowing corn in the market-place, the second occasion
being October 6, 1663, which was the last Court held before his death. He
was then fined a shilling for not trimming his hedge in the Back Lane.
An amusing feature is that being himself sometimes a juror — and on one
occasion his name heads the list — he sat in judgment upon himself. That
the delinquencies complained of were not considered of any great moment
is shown by the fact that, however often the same individual transgressed,
nothing was done in the way of increasing the penalty. The impartiality
of this small and purely local tribunal is demonstrated by the fact, that the
fine infiicted upon one who was in the position of a gentleman was more
than twelve times that which was deemed adequate for minor folk. And
again, in 1656, when it did not spare so important a neighbor as William
Skelton, rector of Coningsby, who found himself called upon to pay a shil-
ling *' for suffering his mare to go in the meadows, he having no common
there."
When Samuel of Tattershall made his will, he was, he tells us, weak
and sick in body. He might with truth have used language more emphatic,
for his signature gives proof that his weakness was extreme, and on the
fourth day after it was made he was laid to rest in the churchyard. John
Skelton, his cousin, besides being a supervisor, was also the writer of the
will and a witness to its execution. He therefore was not &r to seek, and
he is undoubtedly the individual of the name who then lived in the adjoin-
ing village of Coningsby, the church of which is barely a mile from Tatters-
hall Church. Who he was, the register of Coningsby reveals in the fol-
lowing entry :
1642. bap. John Sonne of William Skelton & Isabell his wife bap. y« 13 of
Decemb'
George Skelton, rector of Coningsby, in his important will in 1686, in
addition to his son William, names also Isabel his son William's \^e, so
that John Skelton, cousin of the younger Samuel, was Greorge Skelton's
grandson.
The family connection being thus established, we may look backward
and cite the will of John Skelton, of Barton-upon-Humber, bearing date
October 20, 1546. In it, he names, amongst others, the following persons:
a son Roger; a son whom he styles Sir William, to whom we shall revert;
a daughter Isabel Leedall and, without stating what the relationship was,
Richard Leedall and Alice Leedall, and another William Skelton, who was
the son of Roger, and therefore grandson of the testator. In 1 602-^, when
George Skelton compounded for the First Fruits of Coningsby, one of his
bondsmen was George Leedall of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, chandler. In
1619, George Skelton married at Coningsby, for his second wife, Ann
Leedall, and when he made his will, next to his children and grandchildren,
Bridget Leedall was the object of his care. This was in 1636, so that we
have evidence of a Skelton-Leedall connection extending over exactly ninety
years. No further light is to be gained from the Leedall wills, which are
somewhat numerous, and four of the makers were inhabitants of Coningsby.
In view of these facts, it is suggested as probable that John Skelton, of
Barton, was the common ancestor alike of the emigrant and of Greorge
Skelton. John's birth may be carried back to the latter part of the fifteenth
century, for in all likelihood his son William was born not later than 1508,
and John's name figures in the Lay Subsidy Roll for Barton in 14 and 15
Henry VIII. (1522-1528), where he is charged two shillings on goods
assessed at four pounds.

The parish register of CoDiogsby dates from 1561, and between 1571,
lirhen the first occurs, and 1660, beyond which the search did not extend,
the Skelton entries number close upon sixty. One which deserves special
attention is as follows :
Baptized 1592. Samuell Skellton bapt. the xxv]^ of febmarie.
Negative evidence is not without its weight in this case and therefore it may
be said that no further trace of this Samuel is found in the register, and
that only one other Samuel is named in it This latter was baptized in
1608, shortly before which time the father's name begins to be recorded,
and he was the son of George Skelton, the rector. The date, to be pres-
ently stated, of the emigrant's matriculation at the University, leads directly
to the inference that he was bom closely about 1592, the date of the bap-
tismal entry which has just been printed* Again, whilst giving his
own name to his only son, he did not give his wife's name to his eldest
daughter, but preferred to call her Sarah, therein showing a particular
affection for that name. In looking through the materials which have been
collected, it is impossible not to recognize that with those whom we may term
our Skeltons, what William was as a Christian name for males, Sarah was
for females. Taking only the Skelton entries in the register of Ck>ning8by,
the name Sarah first appears in 1587, in a baptism. In the short period
1601-1615, it occurs four times; 1601, a baptism; 1602, a burial; 1615,
marriage of Thomas Shackelton and Sarah »Skelton, and the next day of
Vinson («. e, Vincent) Randall and another Sarah Skelton. These, be it
remembered, are from one source only, and leave aside the many instances
which are found in other documents. And John Skelton, as late as 1671,
kept up the tradition when a daughter of his was baptized at Stixwold by
the name Sarah.

BRIEF MEMOIRS OF PRINCE'S SUBSCRIBERS.
[Continned from vol. 52, page 14.]
Giles Russell.
Contributed by John Russell Kemble, Esq., of New York.
0>7 the list of Prince's Subscribers is " Captain Giles Russell, merchant,
of Marblehead." He came from Weymouth, England; where his wife
Elizabeth died 12th February, 1733; and he died 23d July, 1753, aged 77,
at Marblehead, where he had married, 24th December, 1733, ^'Madame
Elizabeth," widow of Benjamin Trevete, and daughter of Samuel and
Elizabeth (Elbridge) Russell. Madame Elizabeth was born at Marblehead,
5th December, 1691, and died there 4th February, 1771. She was grand-
mother of Samuel Russell Trevete, captain of artillery at Bunker Hill.
Her sister Rebecca Greenleaf was born 6th November, 1692, and died 3d

December, 1787 ; she was grandmother of Elbridge Gerry. Their mother
was born 19th June, 1653, and died 19th September, 1721, and was daughter
of Thomas Elbridge, grantee of Pemaquid, Maine,''^ who on the maternal
side was related to the family of Aldworth. He " held court" as <' lord
proprietor" of Pemaquid, for several years, receiving dues for fishing
privileges &c., but in 1657 he sold his rights there and we have no
farther record of him. His wife Rebecca died at Newbury, Mass., 15th
October, 1657. Their daughter Elizabeth, in 1669, at the age of sixteen,
with her younger brothers, John and Thomas, crossed the ocean to Bristol,
in quest of a large fortune left by their uncle, which they obtained.
The brothers remained there ; John, while Collector in 1732, gave to St.
Michael's church, Marblehead, his portrait and the chandelier which now
hangs from its ceiling.
He rests, with his uncle Robert Aldworth, near the altar of St. Peter's
church in Bristol ; under a noble monument which records the " splendor
of his beneficent activity." Elizabeth Elbridge, " after romantic adventures,"
reached America, and married Captain Samuel Russell at Marblehead, 9th
November, 1682.
She sleeps on <^ Old Burial Hill " under a mass of weeds and brambles,
by the side of her " negro woman servant " Agnes ; whose small, sunken
headstone alone survives, of the twelve of that ^mily that stood there till
twenty years ago. Almost at her feet, fifty-five years afterward, they laid
her kinsman, Mugford, under muffled drums, with the spear wound through
his breast. Across the street still stands the well from which a fairer Agnes
drew the water with which she herself scrubbed the stairs and fioor of the
Fountain Inn, till her grace and devotion raised her to the baronetage of
Great Britain as Lady Frankland. Toward the harbor was the swamp where
'*the screeching woman" (another saintly Elizabeth Russell, whose words
were truth itself, solemnly assured me that she had often heard it, nearly
ninety years before) bewailed her bleeding body, bereft of christian burial.
Very near is the hut of old Diamond the conjurer ; who, on stormy mid-
nights, would '* beat about " among the graves, to soothe the perturbed spirits
of the lost seamen, who then revisited that resting place of their female
kindred. There are very few males buried there.
* Thomas Elbridge named in the text, who came to New England, and held court
at Pemaquid as " lord proprietor," was a son of Giles Elbridge, one of the patentees
(see note on the Elbridge family in Register, vol. 46, p. 443).
The Pemaquid Patent was granted by the President and Council of New England
to Hobert Aldworth and Giles Elbridge, merchants of the city of Bristol, England,
Feb. 29, 1631, that is 1631-2 (see Mr. Thornton's note). This patent is printed in
full in the Report of the Massachusetts Commissioners on the Laud Titles of Lincoln
County, Maine, 1811, ^ages 33-^9, and also in Ancient Pemaquid by J. Wingate Thorn-
ton, 1857| pp. 75-82 ; in the Maine Historical Society's Collections, vol. 5, 1857, pp.
207-214 ; ana in the History of Bristol and Bremen, by Prof. John Johnston, 187d, pp.
70-74. The copy in the Land Titles of Lincoln County was transcribed from York
County Records, Lib. 18, folios 112 to 114. Mr. Thornton, before printing the patent
in Ancient Pemaquid and the Maine Historical Collections, verified it by the notarial
copy in the librarv of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester, Mass. Prof.
Johnston copied from Mr. Thornton. Giles Elbridge had four sons, Robert, John,
Thomas, Alaworth, and two daughters Martha and Elizabeth.
Thomas Elbridge, above named, was the third son of Giles Elbridge, who inherited
from his kinsman and co-patentee, Robert Aldworth, his share of the Pemaquid grant.
At the death of Giles Elbridge, the patent became the propcry of his son John, who
was also a merchant of Bristol ; he died in 1646. John f^bndge's will dated Sept.
11, 1646, is printed among the Waters Gleanings in the Reoisteb, vol. 46, pp. 444-

ALDEN GENEALOGY.
By Mrs. Charles L. Alden, of Troy, N. Y.
[Continned fh>m page 157.]
4. Joseph* Alden (John^). Born in Plymouth, 1 627, after May 22d —
the Division of Cattle. In this list his father and mother are mentioned,
his sister Elizabeth ». 3, and his brother John, s. 1.* His name appears
on the list of those able to bear arms Angost, 1643. This list contains the
names of those between sixteen and sixty. He was freeman in Dnxborj,
1657. He served repeatedly on the '^ Grand Inqnest" till 1685. He was
one of the surveyors of highways. Among his descendants I find the mar-
riage date of 1057 to Mary Simmons, daughter of Moses Simmons (who
came in the Fortune) and Sarah his wife, but a manuscript Simmons gen-
ealogy says they were married about 1664. I think the first date the cor-
rect one. He died Feb. 8, 1697. He had his father's share of land in
Bridgewater. He is third on the list in the grants of land on the north
side of the town, in 1 683.t These lots ran from Taunton line eastward
seven miles, consequently he lived very near Taunton. We do not know
when his wife was born. Her father was unmarried at the Division of Cat-
tle, and his daughter Rebecca — wife of John Soule — was spoken of as his
'< eldest daughter." If Moses Simmons married in 1628, Mary could not
have been bom before 1631. She survived her husband. No one seems
to know where Joseph Alden and his wife were buried. In his will he
speaks only of his wife and three sons, but this does not prove he had no
daughters. Nicholas Snow, who had several daughters, married and alive
when he died, never refers to them. I find the marriage of a Sarah Alden
to Joseph Crossman in 1685 in Taunton, and in the same place in 1688,
Mercy Alden to John Burrill of Weymouth. Because Joseph Alden lived
so near Taunton I have given these two daughters to him, also Elizabeth
Alden who married Benjamin^ Snow (^ 7Ft/?tam^^ in Bridgewater in 1691.
I have assumed that he gave them their portion when they married as was
customary. I have always supposed that Mary — who married Samuel* Al-
len (Samuel^) in 1700 — was his daughter, but ifso^ as she was not married
when her father died, why does he not provide for her ? All these Alden
girls may belong to David and Zachariah. I will place them here for the
present. There is a tradition that Deborah — wife of Greorge* Soule
( George^) was daughter of Joseph — but it is so very vague I do not feel
justified in placing her in the list. In Plymouth Registry of Deeds, vol. 3,
page 194, we find this: " I, John Alden of Duxburough * ♦ for, and in
consideration of natural love and affection * * ♦ to Joseph Alden, my be-
loved and natural son, * * * land * * ♦ lying in the township of Bridge-
water." This was signed April 5, 1679, witnessed by William Pabodie
and Jonathan Alden, acknowledged before Gov. Josias Winslow April 14,
1679. Recorded April 10, 1700. In Plymouth Probate Records, vol. 1,
pages 256-7, we find the will of Joseph Alden :

6. Jonathan* Alden (John^). Born in Duxbury, 1632-3. Died in
Duxbury February 1 4, 1697. He and his wife are buried in the cemetery in
South Duxbury, half a mile from the railroad station. His stone was bro-
ken away from its place, and Miss Lucia Alden Bradford — a descendant —
took it to her home and kept it framed in her parlor. Before her death, a
few years since, she sent me a copy of the stone. It has since been reset
near the grave of his wife. It reads : " Here lyes y® body of Jonathan
Alden. Died February y® 14. 1697. in y® 65 year of his age." He mar-
ried Dec. 10, 1672, Abigail Hallett, daughter of Andrew and Ann (Bes-
see) Hallett of Barnstable. She died "Aug. 17, 1722 in her Slst year,"
says the stone. Jonathan Alden was quite an old bachelor, when he mar-
ried, if this was his first marriage. He was buried under arms on the 17th
of February, and " Rev. Ichabod Wiswall delivered an address ; '* copious
extracts can be found in Rev. Timothy Alden's Epitaphs, vol. 3, art. 622.
He appears on the colony records as Ensigne till 1681, then as Lieut, and
in 1689 he is chosen captain of the militia. He was a selectman many
years, and " much employed on public business." In Plymouth Probate
Records, Book 1, page 255, Book 2, page 28, Abigail and son John admin-
ister on the estate of Jonathan Alden, and later the heirs and mother agree
that John the oldest son should have a double portion. Book 1 6, page 197,
Record of Deeds, there is a quit claim deed to John Alden, oldest son. It
reads «* * ♦ Jonathan Alden, Andrew Alden, Edmond Chandler and Eliz-
abeth his wife and Thomas Southworth and Sarah his wife all of the town
of Duxburough in Co. of Plymouth, * * * having received of our Brother
John Alden of Duxborough full satisfaction as to our parts and claims to
any part of the lands that was our father Jonathan Alden's in Duxborough
and release &c dated 2d July 1711, recorded May 20, 1723. Signed. Jon-
athan Alden, Andrew Alden, Edmond and Elizabeth Chandler, Thomas
and Sarah Southworth." In Book 4, page 65, Registry of Deeds, we find
this : " I John Alden, sen. &c. * * * to Jonathan and David Alden, for
natural love and aflTection, lands in Duxburough, to be holden according to
ye manner of East Greenwich in ye Co. of Kent in England," &c., &c.
Dated 19 Aug. 1687. Recorded 12 Sept. 1701.
Later, David Alden sells his half to Isaac Barker, and the 28 Sept 1717,
the share given to Jonathan is sold by his heirs to Isaac Barker of Pem-
broke; the deed is signed: John Alden's right 3-14 pt. Andrew Alden

1-14 pt. Jonathan Alden 1-14 pt Thos. and Sarah Southworth 1-14 pt
Elizabeth Chandler (her husband was dead). We see by this that Jona-
than Alden's half was divided into sevenths, and John Alden had his own
double share, and had either purchased his third sister's share, or stood for
her. I think she was dead and he had purchased her share. I am inclined
to think she married Isaac Simmons, son of John and Mercy (Pabodie) Sim-
mons, and died leaving children : Isaac, Deborah and Sarah. Elizabeth
(Alden) Chandler makes her will in 1732, and after giving to her children
declares ^* if there is any left, to be given to the children of Isaac Simmons,
Isaac Simmons Jr., Deborah and Sarah." This is surmise, however. A
descendant of Thomas and Sarah Southworth claims in the Supplement
to Alden Memorial that Sarah was daughter of David, and so I supposed
till I found this deed.
Children, born in Duxbury :
28. 1. Elizabeth^ Alden.
24. ii. Sarah Alden.
ill. Unknown daughter, perhaps married a Sinunons.
25. iv. John Alden, bom 1800.
26. V. Jonathan Alden.

WILL OF SAMUEL IMATHER.
Lately in a search among the Irish wills in Dublin I gleaned
incidentally many interesting items which fill important gaps in our
early New England genealogy. I hope to communicate some of
these later on to the Register, but first all think the will of Richard
Mather's famous eldest son is worthy of being printed in full.*

Rsv. Lucius Robinson Paige, D.D. — ^We print as the leading article In this
number a memoir by Rev. A. B. White, of the Rev. Dr. Lucius R. Paige, who,
when he died, was the oldest living member of this Society, and also the oldest
member of the Massachusetts Historical Society.
A friend has furnished us with the following references to works containing
additional biograpMcal material relative to the life of Dr. Paige :
1. •* Fifty Notable Years," by Rev. John G. Adams, D.D., p. 266.
2. •* To Day," June, 1896, p. 288, contains an excellent sketch of Dr. Paige's
life by Rev. Anson Titus of Somerville. The periodical in which this sketch
appeared was published in Philadelphia, but its publication has now been
suspended.
3. '* Christian Leader," a newspaper published at Boston, March 9 and 16,
1882, contains the proceedings at the celebration of the 80th anniversary of
his birth, with a sketch of his life by Dr. Paige himself. The Cambridge local
newspapers were also generous in their words of reminiscence and appreciation,
not only on the occasion of his 80th birthday, but also at his decease.
Mr. Todd's liberal gifts to the New ELamfshire Historical Society. —
William Cleaves Todd, A.M., of Atkinson, N. H., presented last May to the
above society his check for Ave hundred dollars, to be added to a like sum pre-
viously given, making a permanent fund of one thousand dollars. The income
is to be expended for the purchase of town histories and works on genealogy,
for which there is now a great demand. We trust that others interested in the
history of the Granite State will add to the endowments of the Society, now
three quarters of a century old.
Systematic History. — ^The publication of the Worcester Records, now com-
pleted, is one of the most notable undertakings of Its kind which have been
successfully carried through. These records have appeared in the series issued
by The Worcester Society of Antiquity. The editor, Mr. Franklin P. Rice, was
a pioneer in this line, the inception of the enterprise being as far back as 1873,
and it preceded the great mass of similar work in this State, to which it was a
practical example. These records are comprised In nine volumes, one containing
the Proprietors* Records, from 1667 to 1788, with plans ; six the Records of the
whole period of the Town's existence, from 1722 to 1848 ; one the Births, Mar-
riages and Deaths; and one the Records of the Court of Sessions, from 1731 to
1737. The entire cost of production was $10,880, of which Mr. Rice has borne
more than one half, the city appropriating $2,900. During the last t%venty
years, Mr. Rice has been active in the work of preserving and publishing public
records, and has reduced the matter to a science. He originated and applied
the term " Systematic History " to the accumulated results of all efforts in this
direction. A large mass of original and valuable material in his possession is
being prepared for the press. Francis E. Blake.

** This notice has opened up to me several sources of valuable information. I
am still at work preparing a book which I shall call The Purmorts in America.
I now have almost the perfect records of ten generations. I have a cloudy
record of only two links, viz. : I am not sure whether Joseph Purmort, of New-
port and Portsmouth and New Castle, was the son of Lazarus or Ellas Purmort.
Then again, I am not certain that this Joseph was the father of John Purmort, of
New Castle. This John was a very prominent man, and so was Joseph. Both
possessed great wealth and flourished from 1750 to 1800." Can any of our
readers assist him?

the space that can be appropriated is limited. Materials for still more ex-
tended memoirs are preserved in the Society's archives, and will be ayail-
able for use in preparing the ^ Memorial Biographies," of which five
volumes have been issued and a sixth volume is in preparation. The in-
come from the Towne Memorial Fund is devoted to the publication of
these volumes.

County man, he may be considered as having been a Boston boy and man. His
parents were Lewis Bailey, bom in Northboro' Jan. 2, 1792, and Mary (Hall)
Bailey of Boston, bom Sept. 18, 1798. Mr. Bailey was descended remotely

Hall. Joshua Hall was the son of Joseph and Abigail (Brooks) Hall; Bliza-
beth Seccomb was the daughter of Joseph and Ruth (Brooks) Hall. These sis-
ters, Abigail and Ruth, daughters of Caleb Brooks of Medford, were thus
the paternal and maternal grandmothers of Mary (Hall) Bailey.
Lewis Bailey and Mary Hall were married May 19, 1825, and soon were re-
siding in Philadelphia, where Mr. Bailey's business was that of a commission
merchant in company with Mr. Henry Willis of Boston. After leaving Phila-
delphia, and during a short residence of the family in Brooklyn, N. Y., Mr.
Lewis Brooks Bailey was born there Feb. 6, 1831. Within a short time after
this, the family were living In Boston, where Lewis Bailey, the father, died Jan.
5, 1834, leaving four young children to the care of the mother.
Mr. Joshua Hall, who died In 1812, willed his property to his wife Elizabeth
(Seccomb) for her use during her natural life, and upon her death to be divided
equally between his daughters Elizabeth and Mary. It was under the care
of their mother and grandmother Elizabeth, that these children passed their
school days. Living on Bowdoln Street, Lewis B. attended the Mayhew
School then in Chardon Street. Afterwards he attended the Chauncy Hall
private school, and the English High School of the city. The latter place he
left to go into the counting room of Messrs. (Henry) Walnwrlght & (Sewall)
Tappan, shipping merchants on Central Wharf. Leaving this place at his ma-
jority, he spent the next nine years as a clerk for Mr. James S. Amory, and at
the same time and place for Mr. Thomas C. Linzle, who were treasurers, re-
spectively, of the Nashua & Jackson and of the Lancaster and other mills.
Upon the death of Mr. Linzie, he left this place to take care of his mother's
property. His grandmother, who had married Mr. John Baxter in her widow-

ing deceased.
Mary H. Bailey, the mother, died Oct. 15, 1882.
Of the children, Miss Elizabeth H. Bailey is the only one now living. Joshua,
a brother, was for years an invalid. A sister, the youngest of the four chil-
dren, died Aug. 15, 1883.
Mr. Lewis B. Bailey married, April 14, 1884, Miss Anna Lawrence Hamilton
of St. Louis. He died In 1888, and was buried at Copp's Hill old ground ceme-
tery, as were his parents before him, and others of the family, by rights of the
Halls acquired, probably, last century. This is mentioned because of the
very infrequent burials now within the city limits.

Street Church. Mr. Joseph Hall, the grandfather. In his will speaks of his pew
in Mr. Thacher's church, — Brattle Street, and In the inventory of the property of

Lorenzo Sayles graduated from Dartmouth College In 1852, having paid all ex-
penses of his education by his own exertions. He studied law in New York
City, and after practising his profession a few years, took charge of a com-
mercial school In Philadelphia in which he had marked success. In 1874 he
came to Bostoo, and resumed the practice of law which he continued to the
time of his decease. While at Philadelphia, he published an elaborate treatise
on book-keeping, an octavo volume of 444 pages. In 1877, he published a small
book on ** The Marriage and Divorce Laws of Massachusetts," which had a
large local sale, and a revised edition was issued in 1882. For the last five years
of his life he was engaged in compiling the *' Genealogy of the Fairbanks
Family in America," an octavo volume of nearly one thousand pages, issued
since his death. It will be a lasting monument to his memory.

Byron Anastasius Baldwin was bom in Erie, Pennsylvania, Sept. 16, 1838,
and died in Chicago, Illinois, Kov. 8, 1897. He was the son of Lodrick
Ives Baldwin, and a descendant in the eighth generation from Nathaniel Bald-
win, who came to tliis country from ChoTberg, Buckingham, England, with the
New Haven company, and settled in MUford, Connecticut, in 1639. The line of
descent was Nathaniel, Samuel', Nathaniel*, Samuel'*, Enos- Stanley*, Remus*,
ItfOdrick Ives', Byron Anastasius*.
Mr. Baldwin was educated in the common schools of Erie, and learned the
printer*s trade under the late Judge Joseph M. Sterrett. He did not follow this
occupation long, but entered the drug business, which he carried on with his
father in Erie from 1857 to 1861. In the latter year he married Henrietta
Sterrett, and removed to Milwaukee. In 1866 he went to Chicago, which was
his home for the rest of his life, with the exception of three years at St. Louis,
1871 to 1874. He was connected for many years with the Masury Paint and
Oil Co. as manager of their western branch. The last ten years of his life
were devoted to the real estate business.
In 1872 he became a life member of the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society in the objects of which he took a deep and unflagging interest. He
was a frequent contributor to the columns of the Rbgibtbr, furnishing among
other articles one published in 1871, concerning his immigrant ancestor, Natha-
niel Baldwin, and one line of his descendants. At the time of his death he was
engaged upon an account of the early Baldwins of England. By his will Mr.
Baldwin provided that in case of the death of his two children without issue ten
thousand dollars should pass to this society, the Income to be devoted to the
publication of portraits of deceased members or other illustrations in the
Memorial Volumes of the society. Mr. Baldwin's wife died in 1890, leaving
two children : Walter Sterrett Baldwin of Chicago, and Katherine Stewart
Baldwin, who married in 1892, Charles Finley Eiker of Chicago. In 1892 Mr.
Baldwin was married to Caroline Boss, daughter of James Ross of Pictou, On*
tario, who with the son and daughter survives him. The esteem in which Mr.
Baldwin was held by his associates was warmly expressed In resolutions
adopted by the Menoken Club, the Chicago Real Estate Board and other or-
ganizations. G. M. A.
George Augustus Kendall, a resident member, elected November 3, 1886,
died at Newton Centre, April 8, 1897. He was a son of George Augustus and
Cordelia (Richards) Kendall, and was bom in Boston, July 8, 1840. He was a
descendant from Francis^ Kendall of Woburn, through Thomas*, Lieut.
Samuel,^ Jonas^, Abel*, George Augustus* his father. In 1856 he entered the em-
ploy of J. M. BeebcRichardson & Co. in Boston, but broke down in health and was
obliged to leave. He went to Colorado in 1860, and travelled extensively in that
and other territories. When the war broke out he raised the larger part of Com-
pany C of the First Colorado Infantry, but did not enter the service, as on ac-
count of his physical condition he was not approved by the surgeon. In
1880 he and George W. McCrillis organized the firm of McCrillis & Kendall,
wholesale dealers in feathers, curled hair, etc., in Boston, and in that business
he continued till his decease.
In 1878 he was married to Achsah Hawes Stone, daughter of Dr. Ebenezer
Stone of Walpole and a descendant of Gregory Stone, by whom he had three
children, Edith Stone, George Augustus and Charles Faulkner Kendall. For
several years they resided in Walpole, and he took much interest in local mat-
ters, being for six years chairman of the board of trustees of the public
library. In 1884 he removed to Jamaica Plain, where he resided with his
family till two or three years before his death, when he removed to Newton.

early as 1660, and settled at Exeter In the same state. Aaron Heywood received
his education in Boston schools, graduating from the old Franklin school as a
medal scholar in 1828. The next year he entered the service of Thomas Dix-
on, a Dutch merchant doing business on India wharf. In 1836, he became a
clerk in the National Insurance Company, of which institution he was elected

Benjamin Shreye, life member of this society since 1871, was the son of
Isaac and Hannah (Very) Shreve (a relative of the literary genius Jones Very),
and was born in Salem, Massachusetts, February 17, 1813. At the age of fif-
teen he attended the Academy at Saco, Maine, and after learning the trade of
watch-maker and Jeweler was in business there and at Salem till about 1849,
when he became a member of the wholesale firm of KingsLey & Shreve, New
York City. In 1853 he joined the firm of Jones, Ball & Co. of Boston, remain-
ing a member till the formation of the present corporation, ** Shreve, Crump &
Low Co.," of which he was president at the time of his death. He was many
years a director, and several years president of ** Merchants Bank," Salem.
From the founding of Grace Church, Salem, he was its senior warden till his
death, thirty-five years later. He was a very busy man, ♦♦ never omitting a
day,** but the hour that called him to the station Monday morning was no more
imperative to him than the hours of church services on Sunday. He was re-
fined in thought and expression, a man of sterling integrity, respected by all
who knew him. After a long and useful life he died in Salem, August 23, 1896.
Benjamin Shreve married first, Elizabeth Perkins Shannon of Saco, who
died at Salem, December, 1874, leaving one son, Octavius B. Shreve, M.D., of
Salem. He married second, February, 1877, Mary Levis Gardner of Bristol,
Bhode Island, who survives him with one son, Henry M. Shreve.

Hon. George Silsbee Hale, A.M., member of this society since 1866, was
the son of Hon. Salma and Sarah Kellogg (King) Hale, and eighth in descent
from Thomas and Thomasine Hale who settled at 'Newbury, Massachusetts, in
1636. Born at Keene, New Hampshire, September 24, 1825, he graduated from
Harvard College in 1844, and after one year in the Cambridge Law School, and
several years of teaching and foreign travel, was admitted to the Suflblk Bar in
1860. In 1885 he received the honorary degree of A.M. from Dartmouth Col-
lege. He was president of the Common Council of Boston, president of the
Board of Trustees of Exeter Academy, Trustee of the Massachusetts Asylum for
the Blind, member of several Historical Societies and of the American Social
and Statistical Association. He was for several years editor of the Boston
Law Beporter and of the United States Digest. His report as chairman of a special
commission on the treatment of the poor is the best authority on that subject.
He prepared a " Manual for the Overseers of the Poor," and a valuable sketch
of the " Charities of Boston," and wrote many articles for law magazines,
notably * 'American Secession and State Bights," which appeared in the London
Law Magazine, 1864, and is considered the most careful and thorough discus-
sion of the subject extant.
He was an active member of the First Church in Boston, and for eight years
president of the American Unitarian Association.
Mr. Hale married, November 25, 1868, Mrs. Ellen (Sever) Tebbets, and died
at Schooner Head, Bar Harbor, Maine, July 27, 1897, leaving a widow and two

Life and Correspondence of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, 1 737-1832. By Kate
Mabon Rowland. New York and London. G. P. Patnam's Sons. 1898. 8vo.
2 vols. pp. xx.-HOO; 487.
Although many biographical sketches, more or less extended, have from time
to time been published, it is believed that, until now, no thoroughly prepared
and authentic biography of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last of the sign-
ers, has ever been written. In the year 1826, the ** Life of Richard Henry Lee "
was dedicated by its author to Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Charles Car-
roll, the surviving signers of the Declaration of Independence. Although there
is no lack of information concierning the lives of the first two of this Immortal
trio, the famous Marylander has been conspicuous chiefly by his unique signa-
ture, by his popularity with autograph dealers and collectors, and by the sturdy
and brilliant memory which has been his despite the lack of detailed informa-
tion concerning tils career. The historian has given much attention to the Pur-
itan era in England and its influence upon the settlement of our country ; he
has paid but scant attention to the not dissimilar hegira to Maryland of repre-
sentatives of the Roman Catholic element in England, which is directly trace-
able to a cause similar to that which prompted the settlements throughout New
England. In her opening chapters this author has supplied this omission in our
history, while she also traces the pedigree of her subject far back through Cel-
tic lines fourteen generations to the early kings of England. One finds in this
tracing of descent, and in the narrative of the early days of Carroll, a senti-
ment widely different from that usually found in the lives of Americans. His
life and early training in the English schools, from the age of eleven to that of
twenty-seven, must, it would seem, have given to his mind a trend far different
from that of the vast majority of young men in his native land, in the early
days of our nation. And yet it is interesting to observe how instantly and how
thoroughly this young man adapted himself to the political conditions in which
he found himself upon his return to his native country. As his biographer re-
marks, he " came back to his provincial home across the sea to find the whole
land tingling and throbbing with the first ardent pulsations of the approaching
Revolution." The part which he played in the struggle is told in these vol-
umes, illustrated and enforced by extracts from his correspondence, much of
which has been Jealously preserved by his descendants and by the Maryland
Historical Society. This correspondence was very voluminous and much is of
great historical interest. The second volume traces his career after the close
of the Revolution, an important element in the upbuilding of his State and a
prominent figure in the senate of the United States. Copious extracts from his
letters trace the course of the second war with England. When, near the close
of her work, the author, who has traced a remarkable career in a masterly
manner, records that the descendants of Carroll, in 1861, took up arms in de-
fense of *' the principles expounded in the immortal Declaration of Indepen-
dence which their ancestor had signed," she goes far out of her way to express
a sentiment with which history has always failed and will ever fail, to sympa-
thize. The work has an excellent index.

preacher of the gospel. Although Dr. Bradlee was a busy and efficient pastor
he found time to publish three series of poems and two volumes of sermons
(a notice of one volume of which, entitled " Sermons for the Church," appeared
in the July number of the Register for 1894), and he had also prepared the
manuscript for another volume not long before he passed away. He also pub-
lished several sermons preached on special occasions. His poems bear the
stamp of deep religious earnestness, and the sermons contained in this volume
(selected from the unpublished volume of sermons of the Longwood pastorate)
fully sustain Dr. Bradlee's rather widely extended reputation as a preacher for
beauty of expression and faithful presentation of truth. Dr. Bradlee was a
member of a large number of historical societies, and was greatly interested in
their splendid work. He also corresponded with the librarians of many libra-
ries in our country and in Europe and he gave large numbers of books to libra-
ries, a custom which it would be well for those to follow who have books to
bestow, for in public libraries they are likely to be better preserved and to min-
ister to the needs of a larger number of people than when gathered in private
collections. The following glowing tribute from Dr. Bradlee's " New Year's
Sermon " shows what enthusiasm he had for the study of history : *' I conceive
that the study of history is vastly useful to man ; for such a study invigorates
the mind, encourages philosophical thought, ripens, enriches, and glorifies judg-
ment, uplifts imagination, and leads one to detect the beautiful unity of the
races, and shows how the nations are really all bound to each other and all con-
nected with Almighty Grod."

Memoirs and Letters of James Kent^ LL.D, ; Late Chancellor of the State of New
York ; Author of ** Commentaries on American Law,** By his great-grandson,
William Kent, of the New York Bar. Boston : Little, Brown & Co. 1898.
8vo. pp. viii.-|-341.
Mr. Kent, in telling the story of the life of that remarkable man, the author
of Kent's Commentaries, has done a real service to American biographic letters.
Until now the Encyclopaedias alone have told this story of a remarkable career,
and told it very inadequately. The public is now given access to a mass of
material which has, for more than fifty years, lain unused among the papers of
the Kent family of New York. This material consists of a large number of
letters, some written by, and others addressed to, the chancellor, and covering
a large portion of his long life. For many years Judge Kent maintained an
active correspondence with his brother Moss Kent, with whom he discussed
personal and family matters and public and political afilEiirs with entire freedom.
This correspondence gives an excellent insight into the character of Judge
Kent ; and a background of fact and incident is supplied by memorabilia, writ-
ten by the Judge's own hand, and discovered among his papers after his death.
From this material an excellent study of the life of Chancellor Kent is drawn.
The reader learns of his early life; of his education, supposed to have been
completed at Yale College, but supplemented and broadened by long continued,
systematic home study ; of his admission to the bar when but 21 years of age,
and his marriage almost immediately thereafter. The story of his subsequent
career reads much like a romance, with its early struggles, his perseverance, his
success and his final rise to eminence. And yet it is a story of toil, and of a
success the reward of toil. Deeply interesting passages in the book are those
which tell of Judge Kent's contact with men who have made American history —
with Hamilton and Burr, with Jay, with the two Presidents Adams, with Jeffer-
son, with Irving, Prescott and Marryatt, with Judge Story, with Daniel Webster
and Charles Sumner. He even records a visit at Philadelphia, with a stoiy of
a levee given by President Washington, and a description of the personal ap-
pearance, dress and manners of the first President. From Washington to Sum-
ner ! What a sweep of American history to be compassed within the life and
intimate experience of a single man I The extracts from Judge Kent's corres-
pondence, which are employed freely to illustrate the story of his life, are
chosen with taste and discrimination. Mr. Kent, in his preface, acknowledges
his indebtedness to Mr. Edmund J. Carpenter of Boston (a member of the New-
England Historic Genealogical Society), for assistance in preparing the book
for the press. There is an index. ♦ ♦ »

Of the manuscript of this book, which for three quarters of a century was
supposed by American writers to be lost, and its fortunate discovery in the

The present edition of the history has been printed from the edition of the

Tear-Book of the Society of Colonial Wars in tlie Commonwealth of Massachusetts
for 1898, Boston : Printed for the Society. 8vo. pp. 870.
This is the fourth publication of the Massachusetts Society of Colonial Wars,
and Is notable, not only for the records of proceedings at the various meet-
ings of the preceding year and for the Interesting data concerning many
propositi of the members, but for a new feature In the shape of somewhat ex-
tended sketches of the lives of ancestors by members descended from the same.
This is a feature to be commended ; the mere naming of a list of ancestors of
a member carries little of Information, nor do the brief recapitulation of services
in the early wars convey little of value to the student. These larger sketches
of a biographical nature are a valuable addition to genealogical literature, which
mast assist many in the work of research. The 1898 book contains a number
of historical articles, chief in Importance of which is ** The Expedition of 1690
to Canada," by the genealogist of the society, Mr. Walter Kendall Watkins.
While not clahned to be complete, this article In its one hundred and twenty-one
pages is, perhaps, the nearest approach to a complete collection yet made of
the names of participants in Sir William Phips's disastrous campaign. A full
account of the expedition from contemporary writings is given, with rosters of
the officers and biographical notes of the same ; lists of vessels with their com-
manders; lists of Massachusetts towns in 1690, with their dates of incor-
poration; names of the men In the various companies and ships, with their
towns and other data concerning them ; the wounded and dead in the campaign,
and a full history of the *' Canada townships.** Many Interesting gleanings
from town and State archives are given, and by their gathering together become
of great value to the student.
The whole is indexed carefully and fully, and forms a decided addition to the
reference works on early Massachusetts history, presenting much material of
great difficulty to gather, and now for the first time complied and brought
together. Other articles comprise Mr. Samuel Arthur Bent's address before the
society at Sudbury, 17 June, 1897, on **The Wayside Inn, Its History and
Literature**; Mr. Edward Webster McGlennen's address on the same occasion
on **The Sudbury Fight,'* 1676; Mr. Edwin Dexter Wad8Worth*s «* Sketch o^

This volume contains the Inaugural Address of Hon. Perry Collier, Mayor of
Beverly, and the annual reports of the several departments. It makes a hand-
some volume.
We would call particular attention to a new departure which we cannot too
highly commend. To the City Book for 1895, three years ago, was appended
an instalment of the early records of Beverly. After printing the special
statutes of the colony, province and state relating to Beverly, and the charter
and ordinances of the city, the committee on printing began the publication of
the early records of the town. The instalment that year began with the entry
on ** the first of the first month 1665," the earliest record extant, and ends,
Nov. 5, 1675, filling thirty-one pages. The City Book for 1896 had a similar ap-
pendix of early records, this instalment beginning with 1676 and ending in 1685,
making ninety-three pages. The volume before us, continues the same prais-
worthy practice, the records being from 1685 to 1691, and filling seventy-five
pages.
If other cities and towns would utilize their year books in the same way they
would preserve a vast amount of materials for their history. Some do this.

Rev. Mr. Hibbard's History of Groshen seems to be prepared with great labor
and care. He acknowledges his indebtedness to Dea. Lewis M. Norton, who
died in 1860, aged 76, who commenced in 1842 to collect materials illustrating
the history of the town, and at his death left two manuscript volumes of about
six hundred pages each, entitled : Goshen Statistics and Family History. A
memoir of Dea. Norton is prefixed to the work.
Mr. Hibbard*8 goodly volume contains the annals of the town for a centoiy
and a half. Its industries, its schools and churches, the part which it took In
the Indian and the Revolutionary wars, and in the late civil war, with many other
matters that make up the life of a community, are well treated In these pages.
Biographies of prominent citizens — ministers, lawyers, physicians and others —
are given. More than one hundred and fifty pages are devoted to genealogy
^which must have caused much research. A record of marriages be^ning in
1740 Is appended. The book has a good Index. The author adds : ** It is proper
to state that the Hon. John M. Wadham, recently deceased, made a bequest
towards the payment of the expense of this publication."

New York : Francis P. Harper. 1898. 8vo. pp. 188.
Jacob Fowler, the author of the Journal here printed is, as the editor says,
**an unknown author whose work has never before been paraded beyond the
private circle of friends, relatives and descendants.*' The manuscript has been
preserved by Col. Reuben T. Durrett, LL.D., of Louisville, Ky., **the Nestor
of Kentucky Historians," to whom the volume is dedicated.
** Major Fowler," we are told, »* died in Covington in the year 1860. His life
as a surveyor and explorer in the West subjected him to many hardships, but a
constitution naturally vigorous was preserved with care until he reached his
eighty-sixth year."
Col. Durrett obtained the manuscript some years ago from Mrs. Ida (Symmes)
Coates, a gread granddaughter on the maternal side of the author. The manu-
script came down to Mrs. Coates in a direct line, and is unquestionably the
work of Major Fowler. Col. Durrett in a letter to Dr. Cones gives a sketch of
the life of the author, and a history of his manuscript.
The volume forms No. I. of the American Explorers' Series. It is a valuable
addition to the works on Western exploration, which Mr. Harper is issuing
under the editorship of Dr. Cones. The territory through which Fowler pass^
is described in the title page, and the adventures he met with in his travels are
interesting and instructive, particularly to those who wish to know the condi-
tion of our frontier settlements three-quarters of a century ago.

We are glad to see that the society in this volume of the Collections con-

town records, from 1684 to 1699. About the same number of pages of Deaths
are printed from 1658 to 1800. There is no way of preserving the records of a

Mr. Gay, the writer of these letters, was a son of Rev. Ebenezer Gay, of
Hingham, where he was bom, Dec. 29, 1726. He came to Boston and learned
the trade of a brass founder, which business he carried in Union Street. In
1761 he was admitted a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com-
pany, and was chosen captain in 1772. He was a deacon in the West Church,
Boston. Mr. Wheelwright gives a very interesting account of his life. The
pamphlet is reprinted from the Proceedings of the Colonial Society of Massa-
chusetts. It is illustrated by a portrait of Deacon Gay, two plans of the es-
tate in Union Street, and a view of the premises as they appeared in 1840, when
occupied by the Revere Copper Company.
Haliburton, A Centenary Chaplet. With a Bibliography by John Parker Anderson,
British Museum, London, Eng. Published for the Haliburton Club, King's
College, Winsor, N. S. William Briggs, Toronto. 1897. 8vo. pp. 116.
'* This book, as its name implies," says the president of the Haliburton Club,
A. B. De Mllle, in his preface, ** is intended for a tribute to the memory of
Judge Haliburton. It was first proposed to publish the volume within a month
of the centenary of his birth on December 17, 1896, but circumstances rendered
this impossible. The original title, however, has been allowed to stand as ex-
pressing the raison d^etre of the publication."
The volume contains contributions by Messrs. B. G. Haliburton, H. P. Scott
and F. Blake Crof ton, and is illustrated with a portrait of Judge Thomas C.
Haliburton, and with other fine engravings. Mr. Anderson's Bibliography fills
eight pages. It makes a handsome book.

War Papers, Bead before the Commandery of the State of Maine MUitary Order of
th» Loyal Legion of the United States. Volume L Portland : The Thorston
Print. 1898. 8vo. pp. 362.
Here are nineteen papers, read before the Loyal Legion of Maine, between
March 7, 1888, and May 4, 1896. They record events in the late civil war, and
are written by members who took part in those events. The papers are printed
in the order they were read, and each author is represented by only a single
paper, though he may have read two or more papers. The titles show a variety
of topics. They are important additions to the history of the war, and show
the prominent part taken by the soldiers of the Pine Tree State.
Suffolk Deeds, Liber IX. Boston : Rockwell & Chnrchlll, City Printers. 1897.
This extremely valuable and important series is too widely known to require
any notice in detail. This ninth volume is similar to those preceding it, and
contains the deeds recorded in Suffolk County from July 81, 1674, to Jannary
27, 1676-7, with an index which fills 229 pages. The verbatim copies of the
original deeds were made under the direction of Charles A. Drew, Esq., and the
index was in charge of John T. Hassam, Esq., both gentlemen of special quali-
fications for such work, and with reputations which guarantee its quality.

Mortuary Becord from the Gravestones of the Old Burial Ground in Brewster,

8vo. pp. 83. Paper. Price 75 cents. Address: Register Publishing Com-
pany, Yarmouthport, Mass.
Mr. Mayo of St. Paul, Minn., in a preface, signed by him, tells us that " On
Saturday, June 15, 1895, at the annual meeting of the Brewster Pilgrim Club,
an antiquarian society in Brewster, Mass., the subscriber, then on a visit to his
native place, suggested the propriety of copying the inscriptions in the old
burial ground. Thereupon several ladies, members of the Club, volunteered
their assistance, and the work was accomplished on Monday, June 17th.''
This pamphlet gives a literal transcript of the inscriptions in the old burial
ground of the First Parish in Harwich, now Brewster. The value of the in-
scriptions is much increased by the interesting biographical and genealogical
notes.
An engraving giving a view of the old meeting house, which stood from 1724
to 1834, illustrates the work.

Two Bulletins have been issued by the Nantucket Historical Association, and

tucket. The first number contains an essay on Quakerism on Nantucket since
1800, by Henry Barton Worth, and the second contains the Timothy White Pa-
pers, 1726-1755, edited by Rev. Myron Samuel Dudley. Mr. White was an
early pastor of the Congregational Church at Nantucket.

The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts. WUh some Belated
Families of Newbury, Haverhill and Hampton. By David W. Hoyt. Part
Two. Providence, R. I. 1898. 8vo. 80 pages. Price $1.00 a part.
The first part of this serial was published in December last. The part now
under notice was issued in June. It contains the surnames between Buswell
and Fletcher. The work gives the genealogical records of the first three or
four generations of settlers bearing those surnames. It contains not only all
births, marriages and deaths to be found on the town records, but all Salisbury
and Amesbury names from all accessible sources down to 1700, arranged in
alphabetical order. Salisbury and Amesbury are among the early settled towns
of Massachusetts, and many of the inhabitants of other towns trace their an-
cestry to these towns. We hope that the numerous persons interested in the
genealogy of these two towns will see that Mr. Hoyt receives encouragement
snfilcient to enable him to print his book without unnecessaiy delay.

AnnvuU SepoH of the American Historical Association for the Tear 1896, Wash-
ington: Gov.erameat Printing Office. 1897. 2 vols. 8vo. pp. 1313; 442.
The student of American history, or of history In general, will be reluctant
to leave unread any of the twenty-five papers constituting these volumes. The
longest of them, of more than six hundred pages, is the '* Report of the His-
torical Manuscripts Commission of the American Historical Association"; the
most elaborate is the prize essay of Herman V. Ames, Ph.D., on " The Pro-
posed Amendments to the Constitution of the United States during the first
century of its history," which exclusively occupies the second volume. The
two articles on Leopold von Ranke, — the latter a bibliography, — by E. G.
Bourne and William Price, respectively, as also those on ** Political Science and
History," by J. W. Burgess; *♦ The Teaching of History," by Herbert B. Adams,
secretary of the Association ; and *' The Teaching of European History in the
College," by James Harvey Robinson, relate, as their titles imply, to history in
its universal aspect; all the others treat of distinctively American topics. The
Report of the Proceedings of the Twelfth Annual Meeting, 1896; Report of the
Treasurer; List of Committees; Necrology; and Inaugural Address of the
President, Dr. Richard S. Storrs, complete the contents of the volumes. The
discussion of Prof. Burgess's address, following its delivery, illustrates, in a
striking manner, the impartially scientific spirit that pervades all the documents
of this collection.

Church, nwsday, February 28, 1805. Published by order of the Vestry.
New York : The Evening Post Job Printing House, 156 Fulton Street. 1895.
8vo. pp. 89.
The beautiful and, as one may say, devotional aspect of the Gothic letters of
the title of the programme of tiie above services, emphasizes a feature char^
acterizing the whole of this very tasteful volume. It comprises, besides the
programme, copies of the invitation issued, a report of the services, — including
the historical address of the Clerk of the Vestry, Mr. Thomas T. Sherman, —
And an appendix containing a list of the Rectors, Wardens, Vestrymen, Trustees
and Clerks of the Parish since its foundation. This list, embracing a period of
nearly two hundred years, was very carefully prepared by Mr. Sherman from
the original records of the Vestry, and will be of service to the genealogist, as
in it are found the names of many old settlers. The illustrations exhibit the
exterior and interior of the Church.

Peabody Educational Fund. A Brief Sketch of George Peabody and a History
oj the Peabody Education Fund through Thirty Years, By J. L. M. CDRRr.
Cambridge: University Press: John Wilson & Son. 1898. 8vo. pp. X.+161.
This book, dedicated to the Trustees of the Peabody Educational Fund, is a
narrative, in a comprehensively brief form, of the benefactions of that most
illustrious of modern charities, whose detailed history is recorded in the four
published volumes of the Board and in the later annual reports. It opens with
« biography of the munificent founder of the Fund, occupying fifty-six pages.
In these days of the conception of that grandest ideal of the waning century,
the Anglo-American alliance, and when fraternization in arms has abolished the
last trace of sundering mistrust between the North and the South, it is pecu-
liarly stimulating to revive the memory of that American whose statue, erected
in London during bis lifetime, was unveiled by the Prince of Wales; while-
it is equally appropriate to the hour to review the labors of an agency which
has been most signally successful in promoting the re-unification of the dis-
severed sections of our country, its efforts being styled by Mr. Curry the ** first
olive-branch of peaee and love held out to the South after the surrender at
Appomattox."
An index, presenting in the compass of ten pages the substance of the entire
book, is an especially gratifying portion of the work.

Industrial Experiments in the British Colonies of North America. By Blranor
Louisa Lokd. Bryn Mawr College, 18i^6. Baltimore. The Johns Hopkins-
Press. 1898. 8v. pp. vii.4"l&4.
In this, the 17th extra volume of the " Johns Hopkins University Studies in
Historical and Political Science/' Miss Lord, ably manipulating such sterling-
material as the " Board of Trade Papers " in London, and the contemporary-
treatises on the colonial policy, has narrated the efforts of the government of
England to introduce in America an industry intended to promote the benefit of
both countries, viz., the production of stores for the royal navy. The contents
of the book, instructively dealing with such subjects as emigrant labor, the
bounty system, the New England lumber trade and the rise of manufacturers in
the colonies, are supplemented by a blbUograpby of great value.
On every page or this intelligently written history is visible that irrepresslblj
defiant spirit which the world to-day congratulates itself was so constantly ir-
ritated by the mother country that revolt and independence could but be the
result.

This centenary address was delirered twelve years ago, but has Just been

family, with special reference to John Chamberlain, a soldier in Loveweir*

Paugus, the Indian chief, in that flght. We have not seen sufficient evidence

Four numbers a year of 24 pages each. Price 2& cents a number, or $1.00 a

This new genealogical magazine was commenced last March, and promises to
fill a needed want. It is intended to be issued in March, June, Septe^nber and
December. The issues for March and June are before us. Mrs. Greenlaw of
Cambridge, the editor, has had much experience in genealogical work and knows
the wants of genealogists. A large portion of each number is devoted to print-
ing the town and county records. In these two numbers instalments of the Ply-
mouth county marriages, abstracts of the Plymouth county probate records, the
Pembroke, Mass., births, marriages and deaths, and the Bristol, Me., marriages
are preserved. The magazine contains other matter of interest to searchers
in family history. We hope the work wUl receive the patronai^e it deserves.

The historical and genealogical importance of snch reports as this, if not en-
hanced, is surely not rendered less conspicnous by typojrraphical attractions
sach as are embodied in this volume. Its principal literary features, the
Oration by Albert Poor, Esq., and the Poem by Mrs. Annie Sawyer Downs,
occupy nearly one half of the book, and are significative of the intellectual and
moral atmosphere of the ** Three Great Schools of Andover."
It is expected that a commemoration like this should be frankly eulogistic;
but, in the present instance, it is not too much to say that the subject of the
eulogy justifies all the enthusiasm whose expression,' whether in speech, song,
tableau, procession, or game, finds its memorial in this book.
The illustrations offer us the portraits of the very efficient committee of
4irrangements, as also of the poetess and orator.

The " Old Northwest" Genealogical Society, which has been incorporated but
a little over a year, commenced last January the publication of a quarterly
magazine devoted to genealogy, under the editorship of Lucius Carroll Herrick,
M.D., the author of the Herrick Genealogy, published in 1885, and noticed in
our pages. The Quarterly contains matter relating to families in the '*■ Old
Northwest" similar to that we have given our readers in the Broister for the
last half century. Each number contains a memoir with a portrait. Tliat in
the first number is of Micajah T. Williams, and that in the second, of Israel H.
Harris. The work is well edited, and has many able contributors. We wish
the new magazine abundant patronage, and a long life.
The constitution of the society is printed uniform with the Quarterly.

don. Elliot Stock. Price 5 shillings per annum.
The Third Series of this us3ful periodical was commenced January, 1897, and
a prospectus then issued gives a history of the work. *' This old established
and valued medium of intercommunication for antiquaries, genealogists and
others interested in the general study of local ai*chseology, legendary lore, etc.,"
says this prospectus, '* was originally founded in the year 1858, under the aus-
pices of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology, and editorship of its then honor-
ary secretary, the late Mr. Samuel Tymras, F.S.A. After the issue of a few
numbers, Mr. Tymms took the entire control and responsibility of the publica-
tion, which he carried on uninterruptedly for some years. For the first three
jears the East Anglian was issued quarterly, but during its fourth year it ap>
peared every alternate month. In 1863 the monthly issue commenced, and the
close of the year was marked by a completion of the first volume, which has
long been a very scarce book. Tlie monthly issue was carried on with fair reg-
ularity until nearly the close of the fourth volume, when, owing to Mr. Tymms's
death, the serial was discontinued. During his residence in Ipswich, and while
holding the office of honorary secretary, etc., of the Suffolk Institute of Ar-
chaeology, the present proprietor and editor of the East Anglian, entirely upon
his own responsibility and at his own cost and charges, decided upon making
an effort to re-establish the serial, and to conduct it upon precisely similar lines
to those that marked the previous Issue. In January, 1885, the first monthly
part of the New Series was issued, and very warm congratulations and offers of
assistance have ever since continued to reach the editor from numerous infiuen-
tial friends, both old and new."

We continue in this nnmber our quarterly notices of works recently published
relating to genealogy.
The Spalding Memorial, by the late Rev. Samuel J. Spalding, D.D., was
published in 1872, and made a thick volume of over six hundred pages, well
arranged and thoroughly indexed. Soon after Rev. Dr. Spalding's death in
1892, Mr. Spalding of Chicago, 111., the compiler of this book, undertook the
task of revision, and for the past three years the work was actively carried on,
and this noble volume is the result. It contains over 16,000 names, with many
steel engravings, of which fifteen are portraits of prominent members of the
family. There are some English views, namely, the Spalding Church, Crow-
land Abbey, and the Triangular Bridge, a facsimile of a deed of Ralph Spald-
ing, A.D. 1318, coats of arms, and a map of the town of Spalding in 1732. The
book is a beautiful specimen of bookmaking. It shows indefatigable research,
is well arranged and has an excellent index.
The next book is the Kent Genealogies by Lloyd Vernon Briggs. The com-
piler many years ago began collecting materials for the purpose of eventually
compiling a genealogy of his ancestors by the name of Kent. ** In my work,'*
says Mr. Briggs, •* among the court, town, county, church and military records
I copied every item containing the name of Kent." In this w&j a mass of gen

ealoglcal matter was accumulated, wbich has been arranged under different
families as far as possible. ** I have,** says the compiler, ** published all of my
accumulated material, that others may have the benefit of my work in direc^
tions other than that of my own family." The book does credit to Mr. Brig^«
It is well printed and is embellished with portraits and views. He gives several
coats of arms as a frontispiece, but candidly mys: '* I have not attempted to
identify them as belongiag to any particular branch."
The next book, Mr. Shotwell's " Annals of Our Colonial Ancestors and their
Descendants, or Our Quaker Forefathers and their Posterity,'* is intended tcr
answer the question, ** Who, where, when and what have they been, and what
have they done or undergone that might be of interest to their relatives in tfme
to come." This is done in a very satisfactory manner. The book is Illustrated
by numerous portraits and other engravings.
The two works that follow, " Excerpts from Annals of Our Coiouial Ances-
tors " and ** Benjamin Lundy," are by Mr. ShotwelU and are both reprints from
his larger volume.
The next book, on the Maxwell family, is printed on thick white paper, on
one side of the sheet, and with a clear bold type. It has an Appendix con-
taining a Sketch of the Maxwell Family and Biographical Sketches.
The book on the Kelley Family Is devoted to a record of the descendants of
Joseph Kelley, an early settler of Norwich, Conn. The book is well complied
and well printed, and Is Illustrated with numerous portraits, views and other
engravings. It has a good index and blank paper for additions and corrections.
The Fuller book is principally devoted to the descendants of Joseph Fuller
of Middleton, Mass., born August 7, 1705, and died Jan. 5, 1769. His ancestor,
Thomas Fuller (of whom a good account was contributed to the Bbgistbb for
October, 1859, by the Rev. Arthur B. Fuller), came to New England in 1638,
and was the ancestor of a highly intellectual posterity. Miss Abercrombie's
book is well compiled and handsomely printed.

ney, who came to New England in the Hercules and settled at Duxbury, BCass.

contains much valuable matter. It Is embellished with views of the bouses of
John A Men and Capt. Miles Standlsh, at Duxbury, and a map.

wife is a well printed book. Its object is, the preface states, *' to preserve the
family records of our lines, and we have recorded in a condensed form many of
the events in the lives of our ancestors." There are records here of Hoar from
1769, Hunt from 1727, Wyman from 1769, and Jordan from the I7th century.
The book contains much genealogical information.

lished in 1895.

is a handsomely printed pamphlet, with a portrait of Prof. Moses Colt Tyler as
a frontispiece. The occasion was a very interesting one.

advertisement.
The Gereardy pamphlet is by Mr. Bolton, librarian of the Boston AthensBum,
and is reprinted from the present number of the Rbqistbr.
Mr. Bolton Is also the author of the next work, the tabular pedigree, giving
the ancestry of Margaret Wyatt. To quote his words : ** The researches of
Mr. Henry F. Waters and Francis O. Allen, Esq., have established much con-
cerning the immediate relatives of Matthew Allyn of Windsor, and his brother
Thomas Allyn of Barnstable. From these communications in the New-England
Historical and Genealogical Rbqistbr, I have gathered the links which connect
the Allyns with many county families, and have traced out the ancestry of
Margaret Wyatt."

DEATHS.
Justin Winsob, LL.D^ Librarian of Har-
vard University, was born in BoHton,
Jan. 2, 1831, the son of Nathaniel Win-
8or and Ann Thomas Rowland. He fit-
ted for Harvard at the Boston Latin
School and entered college with the
class of 1853. In 18i2 he left Cam-
bridge, and spent two years in study at
Heidelberg and Paris. Returning to
Boston in 1854, Mr. Winsor married
and resumed the life of study and writ-
ing which had borne its first fruit in
1849 in a history of Duxbury. His
family had been for generations asso-
ciated with the old pilgrim town of
Duxbury, and Mr. Winsor, ever simple
in his tastes and loyal by nature, asso-
ciated himself with it in his first his-
torical work. The book was a remark-
able production for so young a man,
and the research and care which he
gave to the task trained him for those
two monuments of his historical learn-
ing— the Memorial History of Boston
and the Narrative and Critical History
of America.
Mr. Winsor devoted some years to
the production of poetry, reviews, es-
BayK, and to a study of the drama, from
which grew a life of Oarrick (never
published). But l>is abilities found no
adequate field until his appointment in
1866 aft a trustee of the Boston Publio
Library. Those about him at once
perceived his grasp of conditions, his
sound judgment, and they felt the
force of his conviction that the publio
library ' had great possibilities. The
unexpected removal by death of the
head of the library led, in 1868, to Mr.
Winsor's entering the almost luikno^'n
profession of a librarian. He at once
began a correspondence with European
and American librarians, and fostered
in those days a spirit such as is now
awakened in some measure by state and
national library organizations. He
used his great bibliographical learning
to interest the public in better litera-
ture, he established branches to distri-
bute books, he did away with unneces-
sary barriers and at the same time per-
fected library administration. So that,
while he was making library work a
respected profession he was himself
coming to be the chief in that profes-
sion, loved and honored by all who
served under him.
In 1876 the American Library Asso-
ciation was founded and Dr. Winsor
became its first president. He again
held the presidency in 1897, when the
leading librarians were entertained in
the larger cities of England, during the
international library conference.
His work at Harvard began in 1877,
and was made attractive by the oppor-
tunity to bring the library close to the
daily life of the young men; by the
privilege of working under President
Eliot, a warm friend ; and by the wel-
come moments of leisure which a per-
fected organization soon brought to
him. His administration helped to
make the new education a succesH, cen-
tering the broader scholarHhip of the
elective system and of original re-
seaxch in the unrivalled collections un-
der his command. His aim — the use
rather than the storage of books — had
made first the Boston Public Library
and then the Harvard College Library
more widely known, and through all his
later life Dr. Winpor was constantly
consulted by librarians and trustees.
He was ever kindly and considerate,
with a frankness bom of his simple
sincere nature.

His work in bibliography and car-
tography made his name familiar to all
scholars in these fields. His retentive
and well- equipped mind fitted him for
the collection, arrangement and evalua-
tion of the vast storehouses of geo-
graphical material, before unclassified.
In 1879 he published «*The Reader^s
Handbook of the American Revolu-
tion"; in 1880-*81 (as editor), the
*' Memorial History of Boston"; and
during the next few years works on
cartography and kindred subjects, lead-
ing, in 1885, to the publication, under
his editorship, of the "Narmtive and
Critical History of America," finished
in 1889. His '• Christopher Columbus "
(1891) aroused criticism by its fearless
analysis of the character and motives
of the discoverer. Other works fol-
lowed: •• Cartier to Frontenac"(l894),
"The Mississippi Basin" (1896), and
the last of the series, *• The Westward
Movement," published after Dr. AVin-
Bor's death. He was President of the
American Historical Association, Vice-
President of the Massachusetts Histori-
cal Society, member of the American
Philosophical Society, the American
Antiquarian Society, Fellow of the
American Academy of Arts and Sci-
ences, honorary member of the Royal
Society, Canada, honorary member of
the Literary and Historical Society of
Quebec, honorary corresponding mem-
ber of the Royal Qeographical Society,
and a member of many other organiza-
tions. His connection with the New-
England Historic Genealogical Society,
as resident member, began October 4,
1848, and closed January 7, 18o2, al-
though he constantly showed his inter-
est in the work of the Society.
In 1868 he received the Bachelor of
Arts degree at Harvard as of the class
of 1853. The University of Michigan
and Williams College both gave him
the degree of LL.D.
Br. Winsor died at Cambridge, Oc-
tober 22, 1897. He had a dignified
presence, and his comments on men
and books had a charm that lingers in
the memory. ** Optimivm and humour,**
his friend Mr. W. E. A. Axon, of
Enfcland, writes, ** are perhaps the most
striking characteristics of the Ameri-
can, and Dr. Winsor had both." At
the impressive services in Appleton
Chapel, attended by the highest officials
of the state and university. Professor
Pcabody said : " Mr. Winsor had what
may almost be called a genius for
friendship— a human, gentle, consider-
ate, hospitable intimacy which compre-
hended many lives in many lands for
many years."*
He married Caroline Tufta, daughter
of Ebenezer and Sally (Fuller) Barker ;
their daughter Constance, the wife of
James Atkins Noyes, died 1 Jan., 1895,
leaving a daughter Penelope Barker, the
only grandchild of Dr. Winsor. — By
Charles Knowlet BoUon, A.B^ Librarian
of th«'Bo»Um Atherueum,
Mrs. Harrietts Maris Forsyth, widow
of the late Capt. Frederic Forsyth, of
the Forsyth de Fronnae family, died
Friday, May 20, at 3 P.M., at her late
residence, 52 State Street, Portland,
Mc aged sixty -five. She was bom in
Scarborough, Me^ and was the second
and last surviving daughter of the late
Maj.-Gen. Joseph Scott Jewett, who
commanded at the Military Review of
Maine in 1839. He was a member of
the Senate of Massachusetu before
1820, when Maine was separated from
that State.
She possessed a charming and agree-
able manner and a mind trained in the
higher schools. On exhibition day, at
Mrs. Field's English Academy, she was
selected for her attainments in music
Of greater value to her family was her
loving and gentle heart, whose inspira-
tions prompted a noble and self-sacri-
ficing life. Always looking forward

REV. LUTHER FAKNHAM, A.M.
By John Wa^ Dean, A.M.
Luther Fabnham was the son of Ephraim Famham of Con-
cord, N. H., by his wife Sarah Brown. He was born at Concord,
February 5, 1816, the youngest of nine children. His early edu-
cation was received at the public schools. He was fitted for college
at Eamball Union Academy in Meredith, N. H. After which he
entered Dartmouth College and was graduated there in the Class of
1837. After graduation, he taught school as principal of the
academy at Limerick, Maine, for one year, for a short time was
assistant teacher at the academy at Pembroke, N. H. He then en-
tered the Theological Seminary at Andover, Mass., where he studied
divinity and was graduated in 1841.
He was licensed to preach August 9, 1842, at Concord, N. H.,
by the Hopkinton Association. After two years, he was ordained
and called to the Congregational church at Northfield, Mass.,
November 20, 1844, and held the pastorate till April 9, 1845. In
that year he removed to Boston, Mass. For some years he supplied,
for brief periods, the pulpits of churches in the vicinity of that city.
From 1847 to 1849, he was acting pastor of Marshfield, Mass.,
where Hon. Daniel Webster was a parishioner. He was also acting
pastor of chiuTches in the following places, namely : Tiverton, R. I.,
from 1860 to 1861 ; Lynnfield, Mass. ; First Church of West New-
bury, Mass.; East Marshfield, Mass., from 1865 to 1866; Con-
cord, Mass., 1866; Burlington, Mass., from 1866 to 1867; and
the First Church in New Bedford in 1869.
He was assistant editor of the Christian Alliance from 1845 to
1847, and, for a time, of the Massachusetts Ploughman, He was
secretary of the Southern Aid Society, Boston, for the assistance of
feeble churches among the poor whites and blacks of the South, from
1854 to 1860. For twelve years previous to 1861, he was the
Boston correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce,

He was a frequent contributor to the newspapers and other periodi-
cals, among which were Hunt's Merchants Magazine^ the JVew
York Observer^ the Boston Posty the Massachusetts Ploughman
and the Puritan Recorder,
By his suggestion was established the Dartmouth College Alumni Asso-
ciation of Boston, the earliest of the kind in this country ; also the Kimball
Union Academy Association, of which he was one of the vice-presidents.
In the winter of 1888-89, he assisted in the organization of the Boston
Association in aid of the Texas Home for Disabled Soldiers, and was
elected a vice-president. His life was a busy one, and besides his local
cares, he was obliged to travel extensively to fulfil his professional duties.*
He was elected a resident member of the New-England Historic
Genealogical Society, November 3, 1853, and was made a life mem-
ber December 3, 1879. He was chosen librarian in August, 1854,
and did effective service in that position. He also contributed much
to the usefulness of the Society by his work on committees. He
held the office of librarian till his resignation in July, 1856.
He published in 1855, *' A Glance at Private Libraries," an octavo
Tolume of 79 pages. This was an article prepared at the request
of Prof. Bela B. £dwards, D.D., editor of the Bibliothica Sacra,
for that magazine ; but as the material collected was found to be
more than he could use for that purpose, he was led to make it a
separate work. Selections were read before the New-England
Historic Genealogical Society in October, 1855. It was published
in accordance with a vote of the Society. It describes, from per-
gonal examination, the character and contents of some of the prin-
cipal private libraries of Boston and vicinity. This was a new and
interesting field of research. Other writers since then, in different
parts of the country, have prepared and published works of the
same character on libraries in their localities, some of which are
quite elaborate. He also published a Sermon before the First Bat-
talion of Massachusetts V. M., delivered in 1852 in the First Con-
gregational Church in West Newbury, and printed that year. He
prepared for Gleason's Pictorial, an illustrated newspaper published
in Boston, a series of historical and biographical sketches of the
leading churches of Boston, with biographies of their pastors, which
articles were highly commended.
Rev. Mr. Farnham will best be remembered for his work in
building up the General Theological Library. The corporation owes
its existence to an able article which appeared in the spring of
1859 in the Boston Courier, The article bore the signature of
" Philobiblus," but is known to have been written by Rev. Charles
Burroughs, D.D., of Portsmouth, N. H. Through the influence
of this communication a meeting was held in Mercantile Hall,
Boston, on the 9th of April, I860, for the purpose of organizing
such a library. This was the first meeting in behalf of the society,

of which records are preserved, though there had been one or two
meetings earlier. At this meeting about twenty persons were present.
Rev. Dr. Burroughs presided. Mr. Farnham was one of those who
attended. Dr. Burroughs presented a written report of a form
of a constitution prepared by him in behalf of a committee previously
appointed. At the next meeting, April 20, the library was legally
organized and Rev. Dr. Burroughs was chosen president. Mr. Farn-
ham was one of the seven members named in the instrument incor-
porating the institution.
The first report of the directors was written by Mr. Farnham and
was presented at the annual meeting, April 20, 1863. From that
report I make the following extract : " A person whose name is
among the seven employed to legally incorporate the General The-
ological Library [Mr. Farnham himself J about six years ago sug-
gested to a friend [the writer of this] the need of an extensive the-
ological library to be established in Boston. lie presented to him
the leading features of such an institution, which were similar to
those embraced by this library ; and his mind was led to those con-
siderations by the dearth of theological literature in the public libra-
ries of Boston, and by his own need of such a collection of books
as a student and writer."
Mr. Farnham was chosen secretary of this association and held
the office of secretary and librarian till his death. Rev. Edmund
F. Slafter, D.D., wrote to Rev. Charles C. Carpenter concerning
Mr. Farnham's work in behalf of the library :
The death of the late Rev. Mr. Farnham will be a great loss to the
General Theological Library. His life for many years was identified with
its struggles and its success. Feeble in its beginning, slow in its growth,
it has linally become an important and, indeed, a necessary institution.
Mr. Farnham's hand may be seen in every stage of its progress. He was
emphatically the father of the corporation. He bad the sagacity to plan,
the wisdom to organize, and the energy and zeal to carry forward the work
in the presence of obstacles which, to most men, would have been in-
superable. He saw far beyond the obstacles that lay in his path. He
knew that they were temporary and would soon pass away, as the por-
tentous clouds that gather on a summer's day. He seemed to see in the
distant future a great library, rich in its manifold departments of learning,
the ingathering of sacred literature of all time and in all languages, offering
to the scholar the best thought and the achievements of the profoundest
study in the whole circle of theological science. For this object Mr.
Farnham labored on, year after year, dignified, courteous, self-poised,
turning neither to the right hand nor to the left, removing the obstacles in
his immediate presence, and always making a clear and well defined
progress in his undertaking. Thus he laid the foundation and reared the
superstructure of our Theological Library as it exists to-day in Boston.
When the ideal of a great library, as he saw it, shall be realized, as it
doubtless will be, the credit and the honor of laying its foundation will be
justly given to the Rev. Luther Farnham.*

of the North Precinct of Norton, Mass., which in 1770 became
the town of Mansfield. Rev. George F. Clark, in his History of
Norton, page 441, says : " Mr. White's ministry was not of tb©
most peaceful character. He was probably too liberal in his views
to satisfy many of the * stricter sort ' of his parish. He was of a feeble
constitution, and hence frequently was unable to attend to the duties
of his office. Just as negotiations for his withdrawal from the
ministry were completed, and a successor had been chosen, or on
the 18th of January, 1761, he left the troubles of earth for the
peaceful realms of the spirit world." He married 1st, July 11,

SOUTH HAMPTON (N. H.) CHUKCH RECORDS.
Communicated by Geo. A. Gordon, A.M.y of Somerville, Mass.
South Hampton, N. H., was incorporated in 1742, and comprised
the most of the territory cut off from Salisbury and Amesbury,
Mass., by the establishment of the province line of 1741. At a
meeting of the inhabitants the same year, a fast day was appointed
agreeable to the following resolution, viz. :
"Where as we the Inhabitants of this Town being In Present want of a
Pieous lamed orthodox minister of Good Conyersation to Dispence the
word and administer the ordinances of our lord Jesus among us and it
being our Duty to look to Heaven for Divine assistance to Gide us In all
our Affairs therefore, voted that Thursday y® 2 Day of December next is
appointed a Day of Fasting and Prayer in order for the Galling and Set-
tling a Gospel minister among us."
At a town meeting, 27 December, 1742, it was voted
" That we Will Give the Rev^ mr William Parsons a Call to Settel In
the work of the Gospel ministry among us."
Rev. Mr. Parsons accepted the call, was ordained in 1743 and
dismissed in 1762. In 1763, he became a proprietor at Gilman-
ton, N. H., and straightway commenced preaching there and also
instructing youth, which he continued till 1774. It was his sin-
gular fortune to be the first settled minister in two of the New
Hampshire provincial towns.
William Parsons was bom, in Boston, 21 April, 1716, son
of Rev. William and Elizabeth (Thompson) Parsons. His ances-
try had long been settled at Northampton. He was graduated at
Harvard College with the class of 1735, as his father had been
with the class of 1697. He married in 1743 Sarah Bumham,
of the Durham, N. H., family. They were the parents of four
sons and two daughters. Mr. Parsons died at Gilmanton, in
January, 1796. His wife died in February, 1797, at the age
of seventy-five. Both were buried on their farm, and near where
they first settled in Gilmanton.

The Southampton Church had but two ministers. The people no longer
adhered to the views of duty with which the town appointed the fast of
1742. So liberal became the inhabitants that the town voted to open the
meeting house to the advocates of the various views then prevalent, in propor-
tion to their relative assessments, if such a desire was expressed by friends of
any system of doctrine. The church records, kept by the two faithful pas-
tors, fell into private hands; and the sacred vessels used in their rites be-
came scattered. The second and last minister was Nathaniel Noyes, a son
of deacon Parker Noyes, of Newbury, Mass., where he was born in 1735,
who was graduated at the College of New Jersey, then at Princeton,
with the class of 1759. He took a full course of theology under the guid-
ance of learned Presbyterian divines; but accepted ordination in 1763 at
the hands of the Congregational is ts, and succeeded Mr. Parsons as minister
of Southampton. He labored here for thirty-eight years, retiring in 1801.
He was early widowed ; his wife, Sarah, dying in 1771, in her 26th year.
He continued preaching till his death in his native town in 1810. Rev.
Dr. Spring, who preached the sermon at Mr. Noyes's funeral, said of him
that he had preached, every Sunday, for fifty years, without being confined
by sickness during the period.

ALDEN GENEALOGY.
By Mrs. Chasles L. Aldbn, of Troy, N. Y.
[Continaed from page 366.]
7. Ruth* Alden (Johv}), Born about 1634-6. Died in Braintree,
the 8 m. 12 d. 1674. (Braintree Records.) On the "12 mo. 3 d. 1657,
John Bass & Ruth Aulden were maried by Mr. John Aulden of Duxbury.*'
(Braintree Records.) John Bass was born about 1632, son of Samuel and
Ann Bass. He married second, Hannah Sturtephant of Plymouth. 21.
7. 1G75. She was also called Ann. He died « 12 Sept. 1716, in ye 84
year of his age." I am told there is no stone at the grave of Ruth. He
made his will 5 June, 1716. He gives to his three sons, John, Samuel and
Joseph, and to two living daughters, Mary Copeland and to Sarah Thayer
and to '' all my granddaughters that are the children of my two deceased
daughters, Ruth and Hannah — ten shillings apiece to be paid to each one
of them by my Executor in convenient time after my decease to such as
are of age.*"
* I am puzzled to account for the fact that he ignores the sons of these two daughters.

His will was witnessed by SusaDnah Webb, Jonathan Webb, Benjamin
Webb. Proved 22 Oct. 1716. John Bass, his son, executor. He makes
no mention of second wife.
Children by first wife, and all born in Braintree :
1. John' Bass, bom 26. 9. 1658, died 30 Sept. 1724. He married first,
Abigail, daughter of Joseph and Abigail (Baxter) Adams. She
was bom 27. 12. 1658. He married second, 17. 8. 1698, Rebecca
Savill. He had by first wife :
1. John* Bas8, b. 8 of June, 1688; m. 18 Feb. 1713, Lydla SaviUe,
who d. 4 Feb. 1715; m. 2d, Hannah Neale, 21 June, 1716. She
was b. 15 March, 1692, and d. 15 May, 1761.
2. Samuel Bass, b. 17 June, 1691. He m. 1st, Sarah Savil, 15 Aug.
1728. She d. 28 Jan. 1725. He m. 2d, Hannah Gould.
By second wife :
3. Ebenezer Bass, bapt. 11. 8. 1702. Married July 8, 1733, Sarah
Maudsley or Mosely of Dorchester, and had Ebenezer, b. Dec.
11, 1741.
ii. Samuel Bass, bom 25. 1. 1660, married Mary, daughter of Joseph and
Abigail (Baxter) Adams. She was bora 25. 12. 1667 ; died 9 March,
1706. Samuel Bass afterwards married a second wife. Children,
all probably bora in Braintree :
1. Jonathan Bass*, bapt. 8. 8. 1697; m. Susannah , and had 2
children.
2. Abigail Bass, bapt. 8. 8. 1697.
8. Mary Bass, bapt. 14. 6. 1698 ; m. 2 April, 1720, William Bowdltch.

Jan. 1744, and he died 3 April, 1768.
5. Bethiah Bass, b. 2 Feb. 1704.
iii. Ruth Bass, born 28. 11. 1662; married Peter Webb, son of Christo-
pher and Hannah (Scott) Webb. The date of the death of Kuth is
torn off, but she probably died about 1700. "Ruth ye wife of Peter
Webb died June " . I think it was her husband who died in
• Salem, Mass., 12 Feb. 1717-18. We find no will ; administration was
granted to his two sons. Ruth received a small legacy in 1697 from
her '* cousin" Sarah (Mullines) (Gannett) (Saville) Fazson, widow
of Thomas Faxson, and daughter of William* Mullines, Jr. ( Wil-
liam^), From the Braiutree Records we find the marriage of David
Walsbee and Ruth Bass, the 24. 7. 1656. This Ruth Bass was sis-
ter of John who married Ruth Alden, and not daughter as has been
supposed, and the Hannah Walsbee mentioned in Samuel Bass
Senior's will was his granddaughter and the daughter of David
and Ruth Walsbee.
Children, bom in Braintree :
1. Buth* Webb, b. 7 May, 1684 ; probably married Thomas Faxson,
May 22, 1716.
2. Peter Webb, b.Dec. 26, 1685; probably the one who married Amee
and had Amee, Richard, Samuel, Jonathan and Sarah, all on
Braintree Records.
8. David Webb, b. 27. 9. 1687.
4. Christopher Webb, b. 30 Dec. 1689 ; either he or his cousin Christo-
pher, bom 1690, son of Mary (Bass) Webb, married Ann and had
a family. (Braintree Records.)
5. Hannah Webb, b. 14 March, 1692; d. 17 May, 1693.
6. John Webb, b. 10 March, 1693; m. Mary Alden, daughter of Isaac'
Alden (Joseph*, John*) and Mehi table (Allen) Alden. He died
Oct. 14, 1749. She died 1782.

Bass, and left no children; and that Joseph^, son of John* and
Ruth (Alden) Bass, was a wharfinger In Boston and died in 1734.

I have relied on Vinton and Thayer mostly for my facts about the de-
scendants of Ruth Bass, except where contradicted by probate and town
records.
10. Zachariah* Alden {John}). Born perhaps about 1641 or 2.
We have less knowledge of Zachariah Alden than of any of the sons. He
undoubtedly married a wife Mary, who in the settlement of John Alden*s
estate signed with the rest of the heirs, for her husband— he being absent
or dead. I think he was absent, for the marriage notice of his daughter
Anna to Josiah Snell reads: *' Josiah Snell of Bridgewater to Anna Alden,
daughter of Zachariah Alden of Duxbury." Josiah and Anna (Alden)
Snell were ancestors of the poet Bryant. Among their descendants I find
two traditions: one that Zachariah was a minister or teacher; the other
that he was a mariner. I think the latter is more probable, for I do not
find him on the Duxbury lists. The name Zachariah appears in his brother
John's family. We have also a tradition that Anna (Alden) Snell had a
brother Zachariah, and I think it probable that the Mary Alden who mar-
Digitized by VjOOQIC
1898.] Alden Genealogy. 439
ried Samuel Allen in 1700 was his daughter, who was in Bridgewater vis-
iting her sister.
On the list of Freemen, May 29, 1670, in Duxbury, is a John Alden,
Junior. At that time Capt. John^ Alden (John^) was in Boston, and it
looks to me as if there were a son of Zachariah who might be old enough
to serve. At any rate, I place this John in Zachariah's family. I know
nothing further of him.
There is no will or settlement of the estate, and altogether this family is
very unsatisfactory. We know John Alden had eleven children. We
have found ten — and the strong family tradition in the poet Bryant's fami-
ily — the name Zachariah in Capt. John's family — the Mary, wife of some
soHy who signs the receipt of heirs — all lead us to place Zachariah as the
missing child.
Children :
28. Anna^ .
Zachariah.
John? And the Mary in Joseph's family married Samuel Allen.
11. Mart* Alden (/oAn^). Born in Duxbury, about 1643; married
1667, Thomas Delano, son of Philip Delano and Hester (Dewsbury) Dela-
no. One authority says he was born March 21, 1642. Mary, his wife,
died after her father's death, and before Oct. 24, 1699, when he married
" widow Hannah Bartleit." I think she was the widow of William Bart-
lett, who left her with one child, Mary, who married John Turner. Wil-
liam Bartlett was the son of Benjamin and Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett.
Thomas Delano died April 15, 1723. He makes no mention of his second
wife, so she was probably dead. This will is to be found in Plymouth
Probate Records, Vol. 4, p. 388. In this will and elsewhere he is called
Doctor. It is dated Oct. 5, 1722. Inventory taken by John Alden and
Samuel Weston, April 29, and proved May 6, 1723. He gives **to eldest
son Benoni, 5 shillings. To Thomas, jr., J of lot of land in Middleboro,
to Jonathan a beech lot (swamp), to David 5 shillings, to daughter Mary
best bed and furniture, to Sarah Drew 5 shillings, Ruth Drew next best
bed. Granddaughter Deborah Weston executrix, and Joseph Delano, son,
executor. Witnesses, Hannah Alden, Samuel Weston and Joshua Delano.
Children, all born in Duxbury, probably, and all by first wife :
i. Bexoni^ Delano, born Oct. 20, 1667, and died in Duxbury, April 5,
1738. Whom and when he manied is unknown. She did not sur-
vive him, for we find no mention of her in the division of his es-
tate, Sept. 12, 1738, amongst his eldest son Beriah, second son
Lemuel, representatives of Hannah Harlow, deceased, and Rebec-
ca Turner. (Plymouth Colony Probate Records. Book 7, p. 32.)
He had :
1. Hannah^ Delano, b. 1697 ; m. Eleazer Harlow, Oct. 6, 1715.
2. Beriah Delano, b. May, 1698; m. Naomi Merritt, Aug. 11, 1734.
3. Hebecca Delano, b. 1702; m. Amasa Turner, March 2, 1727.

li. Thomas Delano, Jr., born, probably, 1669; died after 1712 and be-
fore 1748. Name of wife unknown. He had :
1. Thomas Delano, Jr., m. Sarah before 1727.
2. Deborah Delano, b. 1696 ; m. John Weston.
8. Elkanah Delano, m. Mary Saunders, 1726.
iii. Jonathan Delano, born 1675, married Jan. 12, 1699, Mary Doten,
born in Duxbury, 1675, and died there 1764. They had :
1. John* Delano, b. Oct. 11, 1699 ; m. in Duxbury, July 2, 1718, to Sa-

AN EARLY GOVERNOR OF NEW SOMERSETSHIRE.
By F&BDEAICK W. Todd, Esq., of Boston.
In the preparation of a work upon " Humphrey Hooke of Bristol, and his
family and descendants in England and America during the Seventeenth
Century," I have come upon some questions which have required minute
study and investigation. This has resulted in the development of certain
facts not hitherto generally known, or much considered by investigators,
which throw some light upon an obscure period in the early history of
Maine. One of these questions is in regard to the governorship of the
province of New Somersetshire from say March, 1638, to June, 1640, in-
clusive.
Humphrey Hooke was a wealthy and influential merchant of Bristol,
when that city was the largest in England next to London, and the chief
commercial port in Britain. He held the office of alderman (which was a
life position under the city charter), was twice mayor, and an M. P. for
Bristol in the short and long parliaments. His second son, William Hooke,
who came here in 1 633, was his co-patentee in the Agamenticus patent, and
was here representing not only his own interest therein, but the interest of
his father Humphrey, his brother Thomas, and his brother-in-law Giles
Elbridge. These men and a few others (notably Robert Thomson of
London) were supporting the efforts of Sir Ferdinando Gorges in coloniza-
tion, and furnishing a large part of the capital, of which he was then much
in need. However unfortunate Sir Ferdinando may have been in his
colonial enterprises — and he admits that most of them had miscarried, and
that his estate had been greatly impaired thereby — there need be no doubt
that he had finally associated himself with people of ample means to second
his efforts, and that he had great hopes of success through his Agamenticus
yenture.
In regard to the financial standing of his associates, it may be stated that
Alderman Hooke was lord of seven manors in Gloucestershire and Somerset,
one of which had a park of over five hundred acres, and a site unsurpassed
in England. None of his manorial estates had come to him by inheritance.
He obtained them all by purchase, and they represented a portion of his
large fortune acquired in commercial enterprises. Giles Elbridge was also
a wealthy man. He had inherited the entire estate of his partner (and
uncle by marriage), Robert Aldworth, one of the most enterprising and
successful of Bristol merchants. Robert Thomson, brother of Sir William
Thomson afterwards governor of the East India Company, was a merchant
of London of ample means. He was here for a short time in 1639 on a
visit of inspection, and purchased the old church edifice and ground on
which it stood on State street, for £160 — site of Brazier Building, 27 State
street Mr. Savage calls him *'a man of distinction in London,'' and says:
*^ He was a powerful friend of Mass., and for services our Ct. made a grant
to him of 500 acres." He and his brother Sir William were trustees under
the will of Sir Thomas Hooke, baronet, grandson of Alderman Hooke.
But Alderman Hooke and his son-in-law Giles Elbridge were the ones
upon whom Sir Ferdinando placed his chief reliance for support and assist-

ance. The alderman was his neighbor, just across the street in Bristol,
and had been more or less concerned in colonial ventyres since 1610, hay-
ing been at that time a member, with Lord Bacon and others, of the New
Foundland Company. Edward Godfrey, in his letter to Gov. Winthrop,
dated February 10, 1639, says that Alderman Hooke is ''the Cheefe pat-
tentee heere [Agamenticus], and to my Knowledge resolveth to settle it,
as now he hath fayrly begun " (see Felt's Ecclesiastical History of New
England^ 1, 445-6). In view of all this it would not be surprising if we
should find that Sir Ferdinando Gorges had appointed William Hooke
governor of his province of New Somersetshire. Evidence to this effect
from three distinct sources would seem to place this question beyond a
reasonable doubt.
Every investigator admits that this particular period (1638 to 1640) in
the early history of Maine is very obscure. But even the cause of this ob-
scurity I think can be made plain. Our most important clue to " Governor
Hooke" is furnished by Edward Godfrey. In the letter above referred to
he states that William Hooke is now governor, and that he '' is determined
to leave vs, and I thinke for Nubury [it happened to be Salisbury], I pre-
sume vnknowne to you." Here again he was mistaken. He adds : '' Bat
yf our governour in the time of his government should [leave] vs dis-
tracted, and before his going home to see his parents, whose presence they
[very] much desyre, it may eclipse all this light, and this place may fay II
to factions. Both myne and others humble request is, you would be pleased
to Wright those at Nubury to forbeare their soelisatations, and that you would
be pleased to wright our governour priuately, not rashly, and soe suddenly
to leave vs, a people whose hartes ar soe set in reall affections one him,
and to stay out his time of government."
Next we come to a deed of laud from William Hooke to Henry Simson,
dated March 13, 1638, and recorded in York Deeds, vi., 74, which begins:
'* This writing witnesseth that I, William Hooke, now Governour, of Aoco-
menticus in New England." Finally we have in York Deeds, vi., 150, the
following :
"I Richard Vines Steward Gen^ unto S*" ffardinando Gorges K* L*

his heires and assignes for ever ten Acres of marsh land upon y^ south side

Here we seem to have not only the statement of Richard Vines (who
had been deputy governor during the unexpired term and absence of Wil-
liam Gorges) calling himself Steward General, and calling William Hooke
Governor, but also the assent to that statement of Thomas Gorges, Esq»
(not Deputy Governor), who had just arrived, and not yet qualified. Mr.
Vines evidently wrote the 1 640 deed. The use of the double ** f ," as in
Sir "ffardinando" in the deed, and "ffire brand" in his Winthrop letter, is
peculiar to him. William Hooke appears to have lingered at Agamenticus,

awaiting the arrival of his successor (Thomas Gorges), although his house
at Salisbury had then been completed, and his family had removed thither.
He was there himself two weeks later, and writing thence to Gov. Win-
throp, Gorges in the meantime having been installed.
It would seem that the chief executive officer of New Somersetshire
was called "governor," and that this title should be given both to William
Gorges and William Hooke. Later, however, when Sir Ferdinando was
appointed governor by the royal commission, which provided that thereafter
New Somersetshire should be called the " Province or Countie of Maine,"
the resident governor, so long as Sir Ferdinando remained in England, was
to be a " deputy governor." This was the title borne by Thomas Gorges.
Sir Ferdinando states that he contemplated coming here himself. Doubt-
less he was detained by the civil commotion in England in which, even at
his advanced age, he took for a time an active part on the royalist side.
After his death in 1647, the resident governors received that title in full
as at first.
The obscurity that has prevailed in relation to the governorship (1638-
40) is due largely to the fact that our chief sources of information have
been Governor Winthrop's journal and papers, and Sir Ferdinando's ac-
count, published by his grandson, neither of which has made any mention
of " Governor Hooke," or of any other governor of New Somersetshire
during that period. From this statement an exception must of course be
made of the Godfrey letter, which I presume was obtained by the Rev.
Mr. Felt from Mr. Winthrop or Mr. Savage prior to the publication of the
Winthrop papers. In regard to Governor Winthrop it may be asked:
As he was in correspondence with Governor Hooke, why did he not refer
to him in his official capacity, and why did he endorse the only letter we find
from him during the period under discussion (the letter of January 28,
1639) " Mr. Hooke of Accomenticus," instead of " Governor Hooke," etc.?
But Governor Winthrop, to be consistent, could not admit that Mr. Hooke
was governor, for that office was a creation of Sir Ferdinando Gorges,
whose aiUhority he disputed. Governor Winthrop and the Massachusetts
people, in 1637, after the Cleeves trouble, it will be remembered, declined
the invitation of Sir Ferdinando to administer affairs in New Somersetshire
in his behalf, ^^professijig to he ignorant of his right to the government of the
Province'** (Folsom, p. 52). They speak of Mr, Vines, and Mr, Hooke,
and of Mr, Gorges (Thomas) and " his affiiirs," but to admit that they
were governors, or had any valid right to that title, would be admitting that
their contention in regard to Gorges was at fault. This was a vital matter
with them for they claimed the territory themselves, although at that time,
and before the execution of Charles I., they were necessarily somewhat
guarded in their expressions upon the subject. The Massachusetts govern-
ors were the only true governors, according to their theory, and in due time
they demonstrated it (?), and Mr. Godfrey had to step down and out. It
is a mistake to suppose they saw a new light in 1652, and then entered
upon a course of action they had not previously contemplated as wise and
proper — perhaps necessary to their future peace and security. They
were Puritans. New Somersetshire was an Episcopal colony, promoted
by Episcopalians and royalists in sympathy with the hierarchy from which
the Puritans had fled.
Gov. Winthrop makes no mention of William Gorges in his journal, and

sion."—Winthrop, i., 231.

although he speaks of Thomas Gorges, who came to Boston to advise with
him before going to Agamenticus, in no instance, either therein or else-
where, does he give him his official prefix. It is always *' Mr. Gorge." He
Bays, however, that Sir Ferdinaudo sent him '* with commission for government
of his province of Somersetshire." Bat that (with Maine substituted for
Somersetshire) was a mere statement of fact, which he did not dispute,
and bad no occasion or desire to conceal. It bound him in no way to
assent to it as conveying any legal authority. It may be claimed that
the omission of the official title, in the references to William Ilooke and
Thomas Gorges, was due to accident or oversight, and was not considered
of much moment, notwithstanding, as I am inclined to think, the custom of
the time was somewhat exacting in this respect. But whether these omis-
sions are significant or not (and perhaps it may be doubted) the fact re-
mains, and may be said to account in part for the ^^ obscurity " attend-
ing the Gov. Hooke period.
Again, it may be asked : Why does Sir Ferdinand Gorges fail to mention
"Gov. Hooke" if he appointed him to so important an office? But Sir
Ferdinando's account is peculiar, in that it is not the detailed account we
should have anticipated. Strange to say, the pames of but very few people
are mentioned. In the part relating to Maine, the name of Col. Norton
(his old associate in the " Low-countries ") is given once. A single refer-
ence, in each case, is made to William Gorges, Winthrop, Humphrey,
Dudley and Vines. Other than these there are practically no names
given, except those of the Plymouth Council to whom the 1635 division
was made. Thomas Gorges gets no more mention than William Hooke —
in short is not referred to. The offices that were instituted in 1639-40
are specified, but the names of the commissioners are not given — Hooke,
therefore, gets no mention even there. Sir Ferdinando's editor calls the
account in one edition "A Brief Narration," which it certainly was.
Probably Sir Ferdinando would have made his account longer, and some-
what more complete, if his life had been spared. Young Ferdinando, his
editor (only fifteen months old at the date of the Agamenticus grant), in
his preface to the Narration, says : *' This relation of my Grand-Father
was left unfinished^ ♦ * ♦ myself supplied this defect by adding out of the
choicest authors." Further on he gives Godfrey (our principal authority
for *' Gov. Hooke ") credit for much of the information by which he pieces
out Sir Ferdinando's account.
It has been suggested that perhaps William Hooke was governor of
Agamenticus — a local governor simply. But there is no precedent in Eng-
lish procedure for that title applied to the chief functionary of a small
town or village. Young Ferdinando's account (of the situation after 1642)
says: **The chief town of this Province [Maine, formerly New Somerset-
shire] is Gorgiana [formerly Agamenticus] which is governed by a Mayor;
the rest are only inconsiderable villages, or scattered houses** This statement,
if correct, explains why Agamenticus, which dominated all the other towns,
was selected by the lord proprietor as the seat of the provincial governor.
The existence contemporaneously of both a local and provincial governor
at Agamenticus is highly improbable. If this view is admitted, and we
still doubt that William Ilooke was the provincial governor (1638-40), and
conclude that Agamenticus, unlike the other towns, had a local governor at
that particular time, and so far as known at no other time, then we are
forced to the conclusion either that the province was then without a gover-
nor, or that the governor's seat during that period was in one of the ^ in-

considerable villages " in questioD, both of which coDclusions are equally
improbable. Moreover, in the latter contingency the " inconsiderable vil-
lage" in question, and the provincial governor, are equally mysterious.
— Jlfeeir names cannot be produced in court, and they are utterly without
witnesses, while " Gov. Hooke " has several of the best standing, whose
-^stimuny will not only bear the interpretation I have given it, but in my
.. ju^v^ent is not open to any other construction, and is therefore conclusive.

THE EARLY BUSHNELLS.
By William T. R. Marvin, A.M., of Boston, Mass.
The accounts of the early Bushnells are not easily to be reconciled; we
find them in Savage, Drake (Founders of New England), Hinman, and in
Dr. Chesebrough's recent Address at the 250th Anniversary of the First
Church at Saybrook, Ct. Savage mentions first, a Francis Bushnell, who
was at Guilford in 1639 and died in 1646; he had a son Francis, bom in
England in 1600, who was at Guilford, Ct., and later at Saybrook, and died
4 Dec., 1681 (Savage and gravestone), and was known as '^ Deacon Fran-
cis." He mentions third, a carpenter, Francis, who, as appears by the Cus-
tom House Record, came in the Planter in 1635, aged 26, with wife Marie
and daughter Martha ; the wife's age was the same as her husband's, and
the child was a year old. This third Francis, Savage supposes, was at Sa-
lem in 1639, ^*but if he were, he removed soon to parts unknown, unless
he be found at Norwalk, Ct., in 1672." But his age, if correctly given on
the Custom House Record, shows he cannot be the one at Norwalk in
1672, for he married Hannah Seymour, who was twenty years or more
younger than the child above named ; his age shows also that he cannot be
the " Deacon Francis " of Saybrook who, as was shown above, was born
in 1600. Dea. Francis was also a carpenter, and while some authorities
make him, as does Savage, the son of Francis of Guilford, others make him
a nephew of that Francis, and the son of John, and the brother of John of
Saybrook ; but I think he is clearly too old to be a son of John. Concern-
ing the latter John, Savage says he was the son of a John whose residence
is unknown; but Hinman states that the Saybrook records show the Say-
brook John was the son of John of Boston.

Hinman has a Francis of Guilford, born in 1B09, which agrees with the
age of the carpenter Francis (as given by Savage and Drake), who came
in the Planter. Clearly this cannot be the " Dea. Francis," born in 1600,
and Hinman does not agree with himself in other accounts of this family,
for he says (p. 444) that Samuel Bushnell, sou of Francis, married Ruth
Sanford in 1684, with which Savage (who calls Samuel a son of a Francis
who may or may not be the second Francis he names, to whom he gives a
son Samuel), agrees, and gives the date of marriage as 17 April, 1684;
Ruth was born in 1659; but on p. 446 Hinman says Ruth married William
Bushnell. I think, therefore, we may disregard Hinman.
Chesebrough says, John of Saybrook was son of John, whether follow-
ing Hinman or not I do not know; and states that he had five or more
brothers, but Francis, William and Richard are all the brothers of John he
names, so far as I can discover. Of these Francis seems to have been the
second son, and Richard the youngest. Richard went to Saybrook with
William, who was born about 1623 and married Rebecca Chapman, of
Saybrook Point, where his first child was born 6 May, 1644. He also was
a carpenter, and built the first meeting-house in Saybrook. Richard mar-
ried Mary, daughter of Matthew Marvin, and died about 1657.
Savage thinks William probably the brother of John of Salem and Bos-
ton, and that this John was the glazier who came in the Hopewell in 1635
(see Drake, p. 19); but neither the Saybrook John nor his father can be
the glazier of Boston, for that John had children whose births are recorded
in Boston, from 1652 onward, and among them a John, born 19 Jan. 1660
(Savage, Errata in Vol. III., p. 608).
Considering the age of the second Francis above, who died in 1681, and
the date of marriage of Samuel, 1684, three years after his father's (?)
death at so great an age, we are led to suspect that Samuel, even if the
youngest child, is a generation too late to be the son of ** Dea. Francis,"
though it appears the latter had a son of that name. Nor can he be the
son of Francis, son of William, for that Francis was born in 1650, married
Hannah Seymour, grand-daughter of Matthew Marvin, and had no sons.
Could he have been the son of William's brother Francis? William him-
self had a son Samuel, but he married Patience Rudd, in 1675, by whom
he had eight children named by Savage.
We seem, therefore, to find (1) Francis of Guilford, who as he had a
son born in 1600, must have been born in 1578, or earlier, and died in 1646.
(2) Francis, son of the preceding, born in 1600, died 1681, who was of
Guilford and Saybrook. (3) Francis, who came in the Planter, born in 1 609,
of whom we only know he had a wife Mary and daughter Martha. (4) Hin-
man's Francis, who seems to be confused by him with the preceding, if
Savage's account is right. (5) Francis of Saybrook, called son of John by
Chesebrough, said to be the second son, — if so, born perhaps about 1621;
and (6) Francis, who married Hannah Seymour, and who we know was son
of William and b. in 1650.
As to (5) we fix the date of his birth approximately by the fact that
Richard, the youngest, was married in 1648; he must have been born as
early as 1626; William, another brother whose first recorded son was born
in 1644, must have been born as early as 1623 ; while still another brother,
John, is said to have married Sarah Scranton of Guilford in 1665, and we
have no particulars of the other sons to help us. It will be noticed that
this last date is about twenty years later than the marriages of the other
" brothers." If the other statements are correct, we should have expected

an earlier marriage for John,' the brother of William and Richard, for he
must have been their elder; I therefore believe that Sarah Scranton's has-
band was a son of John' and nephew of Richard, etc., and this does not
conflict with Chesebrough.
After considerable study, I am led to conjecture that the first John ** of
Boston " was an older son of the first Francis of Guilford, that Dea. Fran-
cis was his brother, and that Samuel who married Ruth Sanford was the
f'andson of John and great-grandson of the first Francis, by John's 6on
rancis. And I have reached this conclusion, as it seems to be the only
one which harmonizes the conflicting accounts. I shall be very glad to re-
ceive any information which will confirm or disprove this theory.
If my thepry be true, the line would stand thus :
I. Francis* Bushnell, b. 1576? in England: at Guilford, Ct., in 1639, and
died in 1646. His children were :
II. (1) John,* of Salem and Boston, b. in England about 1598? Did he
go to Say brook later?
(2) Francis* (Deacon), b. in 1600; was of Guilford and later of Say-
brook. He had a son Samuel* and five daus. (Savage.)
III. Children of John* :
(1) John,* b. about 1620 ; went to Saybrook and had? John* who mar.
Sarah Scranton.
(2) Francis,* b. 1621 ; had issue, of whom Samuel'* mar. Ruth Sanford.
(3) William,' b. 1623? ; mar. Rebecca Chapman, and had Issue, of whom
Francis* mar. Hannah Seymour, and Samuel* mar. Patience Rudd.
(4) Richard,* b. 1626?; mar. Mary, dau. of Matthew Marvin, had issue
and d. 1657, and she mar. 2d, as his second wife, Thomas Adgate.
(5 and 6) Two others, according to Chesebrough, names unknown.
I shall be glad to have the errors in this pointed out, but it seems to
harmouize the different accounts, though the order of births is conjectural.
FENNO FAJ^IILY.
By Allbn n. Bent, member of the Kew-England Historic Genealogical Society.
Rabecca ffenner, aged 25, is in a list of passengers in the Trudovey from
old England to New England, in 1635. It was perhaps the same Rebecca
Fenno who in 1660 was granted by the town of Dorchester (Mass.), sixty-
eight acres of land in Unquity, which was two years later incorporated as
the town of Milton, where the name of Fenno is still to be found. Aug. 12,
1683, Rebecca Fenno, Senior, was admitted to the church in Milton, and
in Milton she died June 12, 1690.
Capt. Arthur, John, William and Thomas Fenner, of Providence, R. I.,
1646, or thereabouts, and afterwards of Connecticut, do not seem to be
related to the Milton Fennos.
1. JoHN^ Fenno, who was granted twenty acres of land in Unquity
(Milton), in 1660, was probably a son of Rebecca Fenno preceding, though
the proof positive is lacking. He evidently built upon his land immediately,
for in the Dorchester records, in 1661, is this entry: " We have layd out
and staked the way two rodd and halfe broad from the meeting house at
unquetie from John Gills land and Robert Redmans land to John Fennos

house leading to the way to the Blue Hills."* A farmer and soldier in
King Philip's war in 1675, he died in Milton, April 7, 1708, aged 79, which
would make the date of his birth about 1629. The name of his wife has
not been ascertained. In his will, dated August, 1702, he refers to his
property in " Lancashire in y® Realme of England," and the hope was har-
bored that in that county was his old world home, but a search of the Lan-
cashire wills has failed to reveal the name of Fenno or Fenner.

LETTERS OF JONATHAN BOUCHER TO GEORGE
WASHINGTON.
Contributed by Woethingtox Chauncet Ford, Esq., Washington, D. C.
[Continued from page 336.]
Boucher to Washington,
Annapolis, 11 April, 1771.
Dear Sir,
I do very cordially sympathize with M" Washington in the uneasiness I
can easily suppose she must necessarily be under during this State of sus-
pence. Her son was, last Monday Ev'ning, innoculated in Baltimore: and
tho' there really be in his Favour Every Thing that could be wish'd for, yet,
X know she will be anxious <& impatient till it be over. All I can do to
ensure Success she may depend on : & I can with Truth declare, that, at
present, there is but a bare Possibility of his having it unfavourable. In
Truth, They make so very light of it in Baltimore, that one is almost
asham'd even to mention a Suspicion of a Possibility of Failure. — We
went up on the Monday; & for P^ear of his possibly catching it in the natu-
ral way, I had Him innoculated immediately; more especially as He was
very eager for it, & in high Spirits. The Pill He took that night, made him
a little sick; & Joe complain'd that His [ ] him very unmercifully.
I left Him yesterday at the Doctor's, where every Thing seem'd agreeable
to Him; & purpose being with Him again on Monday, as his Fever will
likely be a coming on, on the Tuesday or Wednesday, & Eruption on
Thursday: all which Time I will be there. The Doctor promised to write
to you as you requested. And should any Occasion arise, you may depend
on hearing from me, ev*n by Express: So that, if you do not hear from me
to the Contrary, Mrs. Washington may rest assur'd all is well — as I give
you my Word and Honour, that, if there be ever so distant an appearance

of any thing unfavorable, I will not fail to oonomonicate it to joq immedi-
atelj. There is a young Gentleman there (and but one, tho' more are
daily expected) from Northampton County, of the name of Savage; a
modest, well-behav'd man, & I believe the Clerk of a County there. He
promised to be a Companion to Jack, and I dare say will be an acceptable
one.
If any Thing should be the matter with Him, Tliey are to send Express
to me ; and if they do, I shall have an Opp*' of letting you know of it by
the Post — if I do not, conclude all is well. — Shou'd I not write next week
from Baltimore, which yet I intend to do, be not uneasy. — This will be
brought to you by Mr. Templeman, & being written in a Hurry in a crowded
Store, must, I fear, be confused. All I aim & wish is to make yon & Mrs.
Washington easy; & I hope you will be so, in Confidence that if there
really were any Appearance of Danger, I wou'd not, from a mistaken
Tenderness, conceal it from you.
I beg my afi^ Comp^ (as Jack also did) to his Mamma, Sister, y'se" A
Mr. Washington, & am &c.

AiTNAPOLis, 19 April, 1771.
Dear Sir,
I feel much Heartfelt Satisfaction in having it in my Power to inform
you that Mr. Custis is now out of all Danger of the Small Pox, in Dr.
Stephenson's own Phrase. He cannot die if He would. I have been
with Him all this week, & shou'd not yet have left Him, but that I knew
you wou*d wish & expect an ace*, — & I cou'd only give one, by com-
ing down hither, to catch the Post that sets out this Ev'ning. Yesterday
when He left Baltimore, no Pocks had appeared; & I was unwilling to
write till I could have something more certain to say. This morning, I
found three; & about five Hours ago, when we parted, I could but count
Eight, which I believe will be his whole Number. His Fevers began on
Monday, & were sometimes pretty high ; yet never so much so as to con-
fine Him above now and then an Hour or so to his Bed. In short, I think
I have now seen better Authority than ever to say, that the Small Pox,
in this artificial manner, is really nothing: its virulence is so abated &
subdued, that I now no longer wonder to find men think so little about it
as they do in Baltimore. And to me, the whole secret seems to lie in keep-
ing them cool ; Custis, I believe, has not been within five yards of a Fire,
since he went to Baltimore. I sh'd wrong him not to add, that he has
been exceedingly manageable, & always in spirits; much more so than bis
Countryman, Savage. The Doctor bestows many encomiums on Him: I
believe He wou*d hardly have had one Pustule, had not the Doctor, at my
Bequest, (for I thought, tho' in Point of real Usefulness, it seems it was a
Matter of no kind of Consequence, his Mamma wou'd chuse He should
have some) given Him something warm to provoke Them out. Joe, I
fancy, will hardly have one ; unless the same means try'd this morning may
bring Them out: it is however, quite sufiicient that the Arm is enflam'd,
and that He has had the Fevers. Jack's, as I remember, are one on his
neck, another by his Ear, one on his Breast, two on one Arm, and one
Digitized by VjOOQIC

on another, and two on one Leg; not one on his Face. Ere I left Him,
his Fever was quite gone, and I never in my Life saw Him better ; so that
I cannot but congratulate you & Mrs. Washington on this dreaded affair's
being so easily & happily over.
He is not to be down till the Monday Sennight, which, I guess, will be
about the Time of your setting out on your Trip downwards.
Dr. Stephenson desir'd me to apologize for his not writing to yon, as
being very busy, and not having any Thing very particular to communicate*
His general Price is two Pistoles, & 25/ a Week for Board. I shall have
occasion, next Week, to write more fully on this & other matters : at pres-
ent, being a good deal fatigued & a little unwell, I beg leave only to add
that, I am &c.

Annapolis, 8 May, 1771.
Dear Sir^
I have seldom found myself worse disposed to write, than I now am ;
being exceedingly displeased with M' Custis, that, according to my express
Desire to Him, He is not here Himself, to write & put both yourself and
bis Mother out of all further Anxiety on his Account. On Saturday last,
He sent me word, he would come down on the Monday ; but the Doctor
being of Opinion that possibly he might give some Alarm to the People
bere, advis'd me to let Him remain a few Days longer. I did so; & it
baving happetied that a M' Gough, a Gentleman of Rank <& Fortune, of
bis Acquaintance in Baltimore, was to be married either Yesterday or to
Day, I take it for granted He has been prevail'd upon to stay on that
Account. For I have seen a Gentleman of Baltimore, who tells me He was
quite well on Wednesday. So that there wants nothing but Himself to say
80, to put every Thing out of Doubt. And This being the Case, I guess
you will continue to think it right still to forbear mentioning it to Mrs.
Washington, till the next Week, when (shou'd He not have wrote you from
Baltimore, as I hardly dare to hope He has), we will assuredly both write.
In the mean Time, I thought it wou'd be more acceptable to you to have
ev'n this imperfect Acc^, than none at all. I am &c.
Boucher to Washington.
Annapolis, 9 IVIay, 1771.
Dear Sir,
The Season of Suspence, I thank God, is now over : Mrs. Washington,
without the Fears that would have been unavoidable during a State of
nnoertainty, will have the Pleasure of learning from undoubted Authority,
^hat her Son is happily & easily releas'd from a formidable Disorder, with-
out hardly one Mark to tell that He ever had it. He is as well as ever He
was in his Life : indeed has such strong Symptoms of Health, as we almost
find it inconvenient at this scarce Season of the Year, & dear Markets.
A Mrs. Buckiier of the Parish I lefl in Virginia gave me a Power of
Attorney to settle a Law-Suit she had won. I have agreed to take 50£
this Currency for her Claim, which Money is to be paid to my Order this
Week in Baltimore, and out of it, I have ordered my Friend there to pay
Digitized by VjOOQIC
460 Letters of Jonathan Boucher. [Oct.
Dr. Stephenson's AccS &s well as some other little Claims Mr. Custis has
left there. His Ace*, I fear, will run high, as I see They have charged him
at the Rate of 10/ a Week for the Pasturage of his Horses, & this in the
Country ; which I have refus'd to pay. He has also, very idly I think,
exchang'd his Gray Horse, for a large clumsy black one, and is to give ^4
Boot. — Having received Nothing from my Parish here, nor indeed being
likely soon to receive any Thing; & as You may easily conceive that I
have been put to pretty much expence, I begin to find it difficult to find
Cash to support my Family. I have therefore thought of desiring the
favor of you to pay this £50 Mary^ Curr^, in your Way up from W™*burg,
on my account, either to Coll : J"** Thornton, or, if you shou'd not chance
to see Him, to Mr. James Maury, a Merch* in Fredericksb^. I hope this
will not be inconvenient to you ; &, after paying off all Custis's Acct*, there
will not be very much left for me, which however I'll be careful to ace' for
when we settle. Exchange here, I am told, is at 66§, which will regulate
your Paym* of this Money.
Sundry Papers have been put into my Hands by a Mr. Harrison, from
some Person in England, attempting, in Consequence of an Advertisem* of
yours in the English Papers, to prove his being true and lineal Heir
to Colville, to whom I think you were left Executor. I have
promised to speak with you on the Subject; but as the Papers are bulky,
shall for bear to send them, till your Return to Mount Vernon. In the
mean Time, I hope They will not be excluded from their Claim, for want
of asserting it in due Time.*
Mr. Johnson has also left with me another large Cargo of Physic for
Miss Custis; of the Efficacy of which in working a total Cure, He seems
unusually confidant. This too I shall not send till you return.
A Letter for you, brought by a vessel to this Place, I take the Liberty
of directing to you in Williamsburg.
You will not wonder that I request to know, as soon as it may be in your
Power, what your final Determination is with Respect to this young Gentle-
man's going Home. On his Account, it were better to have it certainly
known : & on my own, it is highly necessary. However eager my Inclina-
tions might be for the Scheme, should it still, after mature Deliberation,
appear to yourself & your Friends, prudent to be at such an Expense, I
am not now sure it would be in my Power to embrace the offer. I am not
indeed sure that I could resist; tho' it wou'd certainly be highly indiscreet
in me to turn myself once more adrift into the wide world, without first
securing to myself a comfortable Retreat. And I have not, at present,
such fair Prospects as I thought I had, but a Week ago. There is a Parish
vacant, not twenty Miles from Mount Vernon, where I shall hardly need to
say, I wou'd rather be than any where else in Maryland. And I thought I
had been sure of it: indeed I hope I still am, tho* the Governor says He
expects from England a Schoolfellow & a Relation of his own to fill it up.
If this Gentleman does not come in, which I fear may not be known for
some months to come, I think I shall be appointed to it. And if I am, I
flatter myself I shall, without much Difficulty, be able so as to settle Mat-
ters as to put it in my Power to pursue this favourite Plan : of which, how-
ever, it is but Justice to myself to own that, with Respect to myself, I am
not nearly so anxious as I have been. Life wastes apace, &, unmindful of

Boucher to Washington.
Annapolis, 4 July, 1771.
Dear Sir,
I am sorry to have thrown any additional Difficulties in your Way,
respecting the affair of M' Custis*8 Tour. At the Time I wrote. Difficul-
ties seem'd to be starting up before me, which I fear'd could not otherwise
be remov'd, than by dropping all Thoughts of leaving Maryland. I wish'd
from many Motives, to accompany Mr. Custis : it was, however, as you
will readily allow me to declare, but the second wish of my Heart, — my
first was, that I might be independent. After what I had already experi-
enced, it wou'd have been terrible to have again thrown myself into the
wide world, without having first secur'd a comfortable Retreat to return to.
And, I fear'd, it was too much to ask both a competent Living, & such extra-
ordinary Leave of absence. I have now, however, the very high Pleasure
to inform you, that, with respect to myself, Things are much altered ; and,
if you [will] make it suitable in other Respects, I am willing & ready to
accompany M*^ Custis, on the proposed Tour, — I am at Liberty to add, on
this Condition only, that we set out some time in the next Year. Contrary
to the sentim^ of my friends, who thought it better that I should first get
my Induction into the Living I mentioned to you in my Last, ere I prom-
is'd to make this other Request to the Gov^ I resolv'd openly & candidly
to lay before Him my real Views; with which he was so well pleased, as
to promise me the Parish so soon as ever it was in his Power, & also Leave

Him, aod you : and, it may be, that I owe, in some measure, the exceeding
obligegnesse He shew'd to me in this matter, to his Desire of being iostru-
mental to the promoting a scheme He so highly approves of. It will
be in his Power to give M' Custis Letters, which may be very useful to
Him ; & this He will do with much Pleasure. In short, both He, and M'
Dan Dulany, with whom also, at your Request, I have conversed on the
subject, highly approve of the Project — tn Case, Mr. Custit's Estate will
qfard it I said, I believ'd it might be now worth £1000 or 1200 sterl^
p' ann:, which M' Dulany, judging from his own Experience w^ his own
son, thinks abundantly sufficient. Yet, he says, Experiences in Travel are
so exceedingly vague, uncertain, & variable, that there is no ascertaining,
exactly, what may be the proper Allowance. His son has cost Him from
£100 to £1000. In Paris, I think. He says, He spent £500 in three-
months, besides the salary to his Tutor. Upon the whole, however. He is
of opinion, that one year with another, Mr. Custis can hardly need to
exceed the Income of his Estate.
In debating this part of the argumS it deserves no little Attention to
enquire, how much of his annual Income He would probably expend, if
He should continue these three years in Virginia. Living with you, or
under your immediate Influence, He probably wou*d be restrain'd within
proper Bounds ; especially as I do not think He naturally is of an expen-
sive Turn. But, I am mistaken, if, with the most rigid Economy, adapted
to his Circumstances, He fell much short of what it will cost Him at Home,
exclusive, I mean, of the Expence of his Tutor. And should he unluckily
fall into the Habit of dealing in Horses, or, but in a very moderate Degree,
sporting as it is called, neither of which He could well avoid, from the
general Prevalence of Example, I need only direct your Eyes to many
young Gentleman, of fair Hopes, so circumstanced, to convince you, that
it is not likely to be much more costly to Him to spend these three perilous
years abroad, than at Home. — But, what a Difference, my dear sir, in the
manner of spending them, & in the Consequences ! To me, it is so very
striking, that I own I shall sorely lament if, with your very proper & right
sentiments on the matter, any untoward Circumstances shou'd yet arise
from any other Quarter to prevent it.
I have, in many of my former Letters, already said so much on the sabj^
of Travelling, that I am fearful of falling into Repetitions. I will only add
now, what I do not recollect ever before to have mentioned, that it is more
peculiarly necessary to Him, than most Youths I have known. He has
that Placid Indolence of nature, Flexibility of Temper, in his mind & man-
ners, which require some better knowledge of y® world, than He is likely
here to acquire, to guard him against y® Consequences of too much Compli-
ance & Confidence in the Generality of mankind.
There is, to a delicate mind, much force in some specious objections
which you suppose may be urged, from the Consideration of your being but
his Guardian. But, they vanish at the approach of fair Reasoning, as it
were at the Touch of IthurieKs spear. You are in Duty bound to promote
Mr. Custis's Interest by every means in your power, & I am sure it is not
more your Duty, than it is your Inclination. If, therefore, both yourself,
and every other cool, dispassionate, & well-informed Friend be fully per-
suaded that thus alone you will most effectually promote his true and lasting
Interest, ought you to be deterr'd by the vain Fears & mistaken Appre-
hensions of others? At this Rate, nothing good or great must ever be
done in Life, & you have already far exceeded your Commission, ev'n with

Regard only to this youDg Gentleman. I reason upon this, as upon y^
other Occurrences of Life. I wou'd gladly do what, upon mature Delihera-
ation & fullest Enquiry, appeared to be my Duty ; and if, after this, mali-
cious or ignorant People wou'd still put an ill-natured or unfair Construction
on my well-meant aims, I must be contented to bear it, as I do the other
Ills of Life, as something that might vex me, but shou'd not make me very
uneasy, nor unhappy.
Upon the whole, I do very earnestly wish, and, if I might have Leave, I
would request, that this matter may, as soon as possible, be determined
either the one way or the other. The next spring, if I recollect aright, is
the ^ra I always fix'd on for setting out ; and there are many Reasons
why it should not, and not one that I can recollect why it should, he post-
poned beyond that Period. And, to me, as you will easily believe, it must
be desirable, as well indeed, as essentially necessary, to know what is
resolv'd on, as soon as may be. My little affairs will require some Time
to put them into such a Posture, as I shall wish to leave them in ; and,
I suppose, it might be convenient to you too, to know certainly, ere you
sent home this year's Invoice. If Mrs. Washington, & yourself, & his
nearest Friends approve of it, there is little Likelihood, that the General
Court will disapprove: would it not be a strange Exertion of Power if
they should ? Yet, it is right, they should be consulted, & their Consent
obtained. Gov' Eden strongly urges the Expediency of a six months' Tour
thro' America ere he crossed the Atlantic: it is certainly right, if for no
other Reason, only that a man might not seem totally unacquainted with
his own Country. Is it quite romantic in me to expect, that, possibly, you
might find Leisure to spend a few months in our Party ? April or May
won'd be about the Time for setting out.
I am much oonoern'd at your apprehensions of M' Custis's slender
Improvements. And, to shew you how thankfully I receive such notices, I will
not deny, that, possibly, there may be some Foundation for y' fears, & that,
morever, some part of y® Blame, possibly, belongs to me. I will go farther,
& say that both He & I, as the K. of Prussia said, hereafter will do better.
[^ ] this, let me now have Leave to add that his Improvement, tho' not
equal to what they might have been, are, I believe, not inferior to those of
any other young gentleman so circumstanoed. Nay, I will venture to say,
He is a better scholar than most of his years & standing. He is not, indeed,
as you observe, much farther advanced, than under M' Magowan. I cou'd
here say a good deal : let this suffice, that I hope He now knows, by just
principles, what heretofore, he had acquir'd by Rote only. He has apply'd
more closely of late, & has begun Arithmetic over again ; & on his ReturUi
is to enter upon French. There is a Deal of Difference to be observed in
y® Educate a Gentleman, & a mere scholar.
You will receive Physic from M' Johnson, & enclos'd, his Directions, as
well as Dr. Stevenson's rec* & mine. And the papers, respects^ y® Claim
to Colville's Est*, of w** I beg y' Care, as well as that you will, when in
y' power, direct me what aus' to return to y^ man, who put them into my
Hands for you. I am &c.
In the Hurry of writing, I had well nigh forgot a Commission a Friend
gave me to you. M' Lloyd Dulany of this city is going to the springs this
«eason. He understands you have a House there — if unoccupy'd & unen-
gag'd. He w^ be much oblig'd to you for Leave to make use of it.
I saw Coll. Cressap yesterday. He seems quite confident the new Grant
will take Place, <& is taking his Measures accordingly. Gov' Eden hears^

Explanatory of the above entries — which are, mainly, a record of the family
of William Bond (son of Joseph Bond who maiTied Polly Lawrence) and Sally
Thompson— it may be sufficient to say, that all of the names which are not
starred (♦) were born Bond : Under '* Births," Polly Bond (who was the wife
of Joseph Bond) was Polly (Mary) Lawrence.
Eef erring to the Register, vol. 11,, Jan. 1897, p. 71 — family of Rowlandson
and Priscilla (Williams) Bond — the fourth son, Joseph, is identical with the
Joseph in the above record who married Polly Lawrence in 1783 ; the title of
**Capt." applying to this Joseph, under the heading "Deaths," having been
acquired as commanding officer of the ** East Militia," at Wobum, Mass., 1799-
1801. Capt. Joseph was the founder of the baking business first established
in Woburn about 1793, afterwards moved to Wilmington, Mass. A view of
Wobnrn, by Buckman, shows the location of Joseph's bakehouse as it was first

twenty-eight or nine years old at the time of the settlement of Guilford.
He died in January, 1683, aged about seventy-three years. None of his
children's births are recorded in Guilford, though some must have been
born after he came to that place. On April 30, 1646, he was appointed
'' overseer of the mill bay dams or floodgates." On Jane 6, 1651, he was
chosen assessor and on June 9, 1653, townsman. In addition to his home
lot he owned ^ a parcel of upland and marsh in the valley on each side of
West River," a '* parcel of upland 20 acres abutting to the common woods,"

over against the mill ** containing 19 acres. The name is also spelled Crit-
tenden. He married first, Mary , who died 1664; second, widow

A PLANTATION ON PRINCE GEORGE'S CREEK,
CAPE FEAR, NORTH CAROLINA.
Communicated by Samuel B. Doggett, Esq., of Boston.
A LETTER of attorney from George Minot of Boston, merchant,
and Elizabeth his wife, formerly Elizabeth Brown, daughter of
Maurice Moor, Esq., late of Cape Fear, states that Maurice Moor
in his last will, dated September 30, 1742, gave Elizabeth a tract
of land on Prince George's Creek, in Cape Fear, containing about
six hundred acres.
This letter, dated November 14, 1744, appoints "Mr. Thomas
Clarke of Willmington, on Cape Fear river, in North Carolina,
merchant,*' to act as attorney in th6 sale of this land and buildings,
and the paper is witnessed by Samuel Austin and Stephen Minot,
Jr., and acknowledged before Jonas Clarke, whose commission as
justice of the peace is certified by Governor Shirley, December 5,
1744.
After the execution of this instrument it would seem that Mr.
George Minot left Boston for Cape Fear. The following letter was
written him by his brother : —
« Boston, January 20**, 1744-5.

I suppose the schooner of Mr. Bowdoins has been arriv'd sometime &
doubtless loaded in due time, pray send Stephen word via Nuce, Famplico

A paper written by Mr. George Minot gives some observations
regarding his plantation : —
" Some Observations on my Plantation, which Layes on Prince Georges
Creek, on the North East Branch of Cape Fear River.
1**. That its Title is Indisputeable, I holding it under the originall Pat-
tentee, which was my Wive's Father Coll°. Maurice Moore whoes Right
cannot be disputed.
2°*^. That the Quitt Rent for s* Land is but Six Pence per hundred
acres yearly, what is called Proclimation money. When 7-8"*^ of the
Plant" in that Goverment is Four shillings p hundred Acres Yearly the
same money which makes it much more valuable.
Note. Mr. Lithgoes Land is all at 4/ p hundred acres.
3'"^. That it Lyes on a Navigable Creek, where a Vessell of 100 Tons
may Come to the house. But eight miles from the Principall Towne on the
River with one Streight Road, quite Levell all the way & often there is
Laying at s^ Towne 10 & 15 Sail of Forreign Vessells Loading for Europe
& the West Indies — In which Towne is to be Purchased most Forreign
Comodity's & at Cheap Rate at all Times for Produce.
4*^y. That it is allow'd to be the best Neighbourhood in the whole place,
viz : Mr. Lithgo, Maj' John Swan, Sam^ Swan Esq., Coll*^. Blake, Maj^
Ennis, Mr. Jones, Coll**. Hyrn, Coll^ Halton, Mr. Vail & Mrs. Ilaynes
&C. all which are Persons of Fashion & Education & Live in a Genteel
manner & most of Em has had University Education, Who Keep 3 Packs
of Dogs among Em for Deer hunting And verry often have matches of
Horse Raceing in the Neighberhood, which they much delight in & are all
Liveing within 3 miles of my House there.
5'^ The Creek on which my Plantation Joynes for 2 miles in Length
as the Meanders of it Runs abounds with the greatest quautity of Wild
Fowle for 5 months of the Year & in the Sumer with Fine Fishing of any
one place on the Continent with Geese, Ducks & Widgin & that within 200
yards of the House. So that one Hower of a good Gunner in a morning
will Supply 3 or 4 Famitys for a day or 2.
6***. The soil is peculiar for Indigo which is now made in that Neigh-
berhood to great Proffitt & as good as the French, of which Land there is
near 200 Acres. Also fine Rice & Corn Land. So that 30 Feild Slaves
may be workt to great Proffitt on the Estate. This & many other advan-
tages both proffitable & pleasureable belongs to it which you may depend
on.

These observations were probably written to aid the sale of the
plantation, and the following letter from Mr. Minot to Mr. Joshua
Crump relates to his proposals regarding its sale : —

Another letter shows that Mr. Lithgow has heard of the proposed
sale and gives his views of the locality : —

I find you are in terms of purchassing Geo. Minot's Land that

goes here at presant : I am much surprised he did not take you at

the country first : for if you shou'd mislike the country to live in, the money

to entertain you till you have Looked about to see where you would like
best to be : and what you would like : for there is no fear of getting land
at any time there is Enough to be sold. The Buildings he tells you off* are

that were they good for any thing tliey are aboundantly too near the Creek,
the people that lives there now tells me in the summer time they are de-
voured with muskitters therefore if any good house was to be Built it ought
to be allmost a quarter of a mile further Back from the Creek side. Mr.
Blake din'd with me this day : I asked him about the Jamaica Gentleman
he was Recomending to Buy Geo. Minot's Land, he told me he knew of
none but said he did tell Mr. Minot he would buy it off him, for a Friend
of his at Jamaica, but says : he intended it for himself purely for fishing in
the summer and Ducking in the winter. * * * *

One other letter is dated at Cape Fear and apparently directed to
Mr. George Minot at Boston : —

He soon began to collect all the information he could find relative
to his own ancestors, and to try to interest others in theirs. " One
Thousand Years of Hubbard History," page 197, says of him,
^ Edwin Hubbard was a born genealogist and collected data from
boyhood to old age about his own and numerous other families, com-
prising Bradford, Goodrich, Heald, Drury, Towne, Powers and
others. His inventions of Ancestral Registers or printed tabular
forms were most excellent models for copying data into. ... He
did a great deal of genealogical labor, being remarkably conscien-
tious and painstaking in preparing his data." He made a specialty
of Ancestral Research, and the work that he best loved w^as the
tracing out as many ancestors as it was possible for him to find for
the individual for whom he was working. His system of numbering
prevented any confusion of individuals, and his clear handwriting,
almost as distinct as printing will be long remembered by his numer-
ous correspondents.
Mr. Hubbard married in Berlin, Conn., Oct. 14, 1832, Hannah
Root North, who was born Sept. 26, 1816, and was the daughter
of Lemuel and Rebecca (Goodrich) North. Hannah,® Lemuel,'
David,* Jedediah,* Isaac,* Thomas,' Thomas,* John.* They had
ten children, but four of whom survived their childhood, and even
these died long before the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard. They
lived, successively, in Berlin, Conn. ; Millersport, Ohio (which
was then " away out West " ) ; Meriden, Conn. ; Cape May, N. J. ;
Meriden again; and in 1859 went to Chicago where the greater
part of his genealogical work was done. His home was later at
Oak Park, his office in Chicago, where for many years he devoted
himself entirely to the work of genealogy. In his early life he
waa in the carriage business, kept a store, was president of a bank
and when he first went to Chicago kept an insurance office, but
througliout his life his attention was mainly devoted to genealogical
research.
In 1883 he went to Bennington, Vt., to the home of his grand-
son Charles Hoadley, where he died in 1891. Mrs. Hubbard died
in Clinton, Conn., August, 1893. While in Chicago Mr. Hub-
bard was for many years deacon of the Tabernacle Church, while
Mrs. Hubbard was city missionary, and both were active in all the
work of the church they loved.
The four children who outlived childhood were :
Walter Norris, b. June 10, 1834; d. Feb. 19, 1879; m. July 10,

CAPTAIN JOHANNES SANDERSE GLEN.
By ZoETH S. Eldredge, Esq., of San Francisco, Cal.
About the year 1633, a Scotchman by the name of Alexander Lindsay
Glen was at Fort Nassau on the Delaware. A man, tradition says, of noble
birth, a refugee to Holland from whence he came to America in the service
of the Dutch West India Company, from whom he held large grants of
land. He was called by the Dutch, Sander Leendertse Glen, and is thus
designated in all the records. His transactions in real estate and merchan-
dise were yery large. He owned lands in New Amsterdam (" Smits Val-
ley ") in 1646, and was then called "coopman " (merchant) of Beverwyck.
He also owned lands, house and cattle at Graves End, Long Island, lands
at Fort Nassau and at Fort Casimir. On June 10th, 1643, Arent Van
Curler wrote to the Patrons of Rensselaerwyck, * * *< I have purchased
at the Mill Kill, from Jan Mickaelson, a house and a large oblong build-
ing which he bought from Sander Leeuderke (Glen) for 500 gl."
In 1658 Glen built a mansion of stone on the north bank of the Mo-
hawk River under the title and protection of the Mohawk Indians by
whom he was held in high esteem.
In 1661 he with Arent Van Curler and thirteen others made application
to Peter Stuy vesant, Director General, for permission to purchase from the
Indians the Great Flats on the Mohawk River — negotiations which resulted
finally in the Dongan patent to what is now the city of Schenectady. Glen
called his farm on the north side of the river, Scotia. It comprised several
hundred acres and extended from " Claas Graven's Rock " easterly to
" Luysig Rock," just above Freeman's Bridge. In the division of lands
under the patent, he received a house lot in the village, a pasture lot on the
river, and two houwerys on the Great Flat.
Glen's wife was Catalyn Dongan. She died Aug. 12, 1684, and he died
Nov. 13, 1685. They were buried side by side under the church built by
Glen in the public square and presented to the inhabitants of Schenectady.
In 1848 their remains were carefully exhumed by Judge Sanders, a lineal
descendant, and removed to the family cemetery at Scotia where they now
rest.
Captain Johannes Sanderse Glen (John Glen, son of Alexander)
was born Nov. 5, 1648, died Nov. 6, 1731. Married, first, Annatie, daugh-
ter of Jan and Marie (Du Trieux) Peek, and after her death in 1690, he
married Diwar, daughter of Evert Janse Wendel. He frequently wrote his
name ^* Johannes Sanderse/' after the Dutch fashion, and was usually called
Digitized by VjOOQIC
476 Captain Johannes Sanderse Glen. [Oct.
Captain Sander. The French wrote the name Cendre, which became
transformed into Condre, and then into Coudre.*
Captain Glen was chief magistrate of Schenectady.f He served during
the French and Indian wars as ensign, lieutenant and captain under Major
Peter Schuyler, and was captain of the First Foot Company at Schenecta-
dy in 1715.
On the night of February 8, 1690, Schenectady was destroyed by a war
party of French and Indians from Montreal. The inhabitants, who were
all Dutch, were in a state of discord and confusion. The revolution in
England had produced a revolution in New York. The demagogue, Jacob
Leisler, had got possession of Fort William and endeavored to master the
colony. The Dutch of Schenectady for the most part favored Leisler, but
Glen stood fast for the Albany convention (anti-Leisler), of which Peter
Schuyler was the chief, and in consequence the villagers had threatened to
kill him.t The village was oblong in shape and was stockaded with pali-
sades of pine logs ten feet high. It had two gates, one towards Albany,
and the other towards the Mohawks. A block house near the eastern gate
was occupied by eight or nine men belonging to Captain Bull's Connecti-
cut company, under command of Lieutenant Talmage. As they were un-
der orders from Albany, they too, like Glen, were under the ]>opu]ar ban.
In vain the magistrate and the officer entreated the people to stand on their
guard. They turned the advice to ridicule, laughed at the idea of danger,
left both their gates wide open, and placed there, it is said, two snow
images as mock sentinels.
On the 17th of January, 1690, a war party was started from Montreal,
with the intention of striking the English and Dutch settlements of Albany
and Schenectady. It consisted of one hundred and fourteen Frenchmen
and ninety-six Indians — in all two hundred and ten men, under command
of D'Ailleboust de Mantet and Le Moyne de Sainte-H^lene, supported by
the brothers Le Moyne d* Iberville and Le Moyne Bienville and several
others of the Canadian noblesse.
It was the depth of winter when they began their march, sliding on snow
shoes over the vast white field of the frozen St. Lawrence and dragging
their blankets and provisions on Indian sledges. Between the Su Law-
rence and the Mohawk was two hundred miles of unbroken wilderness
without a single habitation, with snow in the forest from three to six feet
deep.
They advanced four or five days on the march and then stopped to hold
a council. The precise point of attack had been left to the leaders, and
thus the men had been ignorant of their destination. The Indians de-
manded to know it. Mantet and Saint-Uelene replied that they were going
to Albany. The Indians demurred. '* How long is it," asked one of them,
'^ since the French grew so bold ? ** The commanders endeavored to satisfy
them but the Indians were sullen, the decision was postponed and the party
moved forward again.
When after eight days they reached the Hudson and found the place
where two paths diverged, the one for Albany and the other for Schenec-
tady, they all without further words took the latter.
* See letter of M. de Monseignat, Comptroller General of the Marine in Canada, to
Mme. de Maintinon. Doc. Hist. N. Y. 1., 297.
t The French called Schenectady Corlaer from Van Curler its founder. Corlaer wa s
also the name given by the Indians to the governor of New York.

The march was one of incredible hardship and tested their pluck and
endurance to the utternotost. At first there was a partial thaw and the
men waded knee deep through the half-melted snow, mingled ice, mud
and water of the gloomy swamps. Then the weather suddenly changed,
and a cold fierce wind, accompanied by snow, swept down upon them,
freezing the blood in their veins. So painful and so slow was their pro-
gress that it was eleven o'clock on the night of the eighth of February
when they reached Schenectady and stood before its open gate guarded
by its deaf and dumb warder, the sentinel of snow. It was their intention
to make the attack later, but the intense cold forced them to enter
the town at once. Iberville went with a detachment to find the Albany
gate and bar it against the escape of fugitives, but missed it in the gloom
and hastened back. The assailants were now formed into two bands,
Sainte-Heleue leading the one and Mantet the other. They passed through
the gate together in dead silence ; one turned to the right and the other to
the lefl, and they filed around the village between the palisades and the
bouses till the two leaders met at the further end. The signal was then
given and with hideous yells they burst open the doprs with their hatchets
and fell to their work. The simple villagers, wrapped in peaceful slum-
ber, were unable to make any material resistance. For some it was but a
momentary nightmare, ended by the blow of the tomahawk. Others were
less fortunate. Neither women nor children were spared. Sixty persons
were killed outright. The massacre and pillage continued two hours; then
the prisoners were secured, sentinels posted and the men told to rest and
refresh themselves. In the morning a small party crossed the river to
Scotia, the house of Glen, which stood on rising ground half a mile dis-
tant. It was loopholed and palisaded, and Glen had mustered his servants
and tenants, closed his gates and prepared to defend himself. Iberville ap-
peared at the gate and drawing his commission from the breast of his coat,
told Glen that he was specially charged to pay a debt which the French
owed him. On several occasions he had saved the lives of French prison-
ers in the hands of the Mohawks, and he, with his family, and above all his
wife had shown them the greatest kindness. The officer urged Glen to go
with them to the village, and he complied. He was now led before a
crowd of wretched prisoners and told that not only were his own life and
property safe but that all his kindred should be spared.* Glen stretched
bis privilege to the utmost, till the Indians, disgusted at his multiplied de-
mands for clemency, complained that everybody seemed to be his relation.
Some of the houses had already been burned. Fire was now set to the
rest, excepting one in which a French officer lay wounded, another belong-
ing to Glen, and three or four more which he begged the victors to spare.
At noon Schenectady was in ashes and the French and Indians withdrew
laden with booty. Thirty or forty captured horses dragged their sledges
and a troop of twenty-seven men and boys were driven prisoners into the
forest-t

intentions of marriage before several publick meetings of the People of God
called Quakers In the afores* County," were married 10 mo. ** (called Decem-

Quarterly Meeting of the Society of Friends, General Register Office, Somerset
House, London, England). Among the thirty-two witnesses to this marriage
certificate is the name John Cooke. How was he related to Peter? Can anyone
give data concerning the ancestry of Peter Cooke and Elinor Norman? What
were there dates of birth?
They had the following nine children, all born in Cheshire : (1) John, b. 7 mo.

the certificate, altliongh it must have been signed about this time. They era-
barlced for Pennsylvania, but Peter died on the voyage or shortly after the
arrival. At Chester monthly meeting (now Delaware County, Pa.), 1 mo. 29,
1714, the widow Elinor Cooke produced a " certificate from frandly months

Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their owu 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,
graduation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and
dates of birth, marriage, residence and death. When there are more than one
christian name they should all be given In full if possible. No initials should
be used when the full names are known.

General Court; chief military officer of his district; and one of the founders of
Medfleld. It also contains particulars of about 15,000 persons who have mar-
ried these descendants. More than a thousand descendants of each of the
following families are given and a lesser number of over a hundred other Massa-
chusetts families : Babcock, Battelle, Clark, Haven, Holbrook, Leland, McKina-

This is a very valuable contribution by that eminent scholar, Dr. S. E. Daw-
son, to the literature bearing upon the hotly contested question of the first
landing place of John Cabot on the shores of North America. It is, of course,
impossible In this brief notice to sketch in detail Dr. Dawson*s carefully pre-
pared and exhaustive argument to prove that the landing took place on Cape
Breton. He seems to have conclusively proved that the landing did not take
place anywhere on the coast of Labrador, but (to the writer of this review at least)
he does not seem to have so clearly proved that Cabot did not land somewhere
upon the coast of Newfoundland. -The weight of evidence, however, would
seem to indicate that he probably landed on the coast of Cape Breton. In sup-
port of his argument Dr. Dawson relies on Pedro Reinel's map (published in
1504 or 1505), on Robert Thome's map (1527), on a map by Jean Allefonsce
(1546), and on a map by Michael Lok (published in Hakluyt's "Divers Voy-
ages" in 1582), and on the researches of Mons. d'Avesac, Dr. Charles Deane,
EUsee Reclus, Dr. Justin Winsor, Mr. J. C. Brevoort, Mr. Edward Eggleston,
and other leading authorities. Four hundred years have elapsed since the first
landing by Europeans on American soil. While Holland and Portugal have had
a somewhat large influence in the upbuilding of North America and South
America (in New York state and the republic of Brazil), It of course goes with-
out saying that the three races which have exercised the greatest influence here
in this western hemisphere are the English, French and Spanish. While in point
of time Spain and France were the first to efffect considerable settlements here,
what do we see as the results of their various labors to-day? France (which
has always seemed to represent one of the highest types of the Latin race) made a
good beginning in colonization in North America, but her empire gradually dwin-

died away, becaase of her repeated attacks upon the British settlements, nntil it
finally lost its separate existence, and her American colonies became merged in
the dominion of the great English-speaking race. There is much that we may
admire in the French character (the sparkle and wit of their nature, their dash-
ing gallantry), bnt they have never possessed the more solid and endnricg
qnalities of the Anglo-Saxon race. They have always lacked the steady goln^
qualities of tenacity and perseverance, the power of an indomitable will which
has always belonged to the English-speaking race, the finest product of modem
civilization. In our race and in that alone may be found the highest type of
true manliness.. The Spaniards came to this continent with no purpose but to
acquire treasure, and in doing so ground down with the heel of oppression the
poor natives. But Spain has fortunately long since ceased to exert any consid-
erable influence as a nation and is rapidly going to decay. While France estab-
lished her colonies with a higher object in view than that of Spain, her motives
appear to have been not unmixed with a greed for gain. The Pilgrims came here
for freedom to worship God. From the beginning the diametrically opposite
principles of the French and English nations, namely, that of arbitrary rule and
that of freedom, were and are continually at war. It would be as impossible
for France to remain long a republic, as it would for our country to submit to a
monarchical form of government. There can be no healthy and permanent
growth under arbitrary rule. Liberty, liberty under the laws of the English-
speaking race, offers the freest and fullest scope for individual effort and attain-
ment, for national effort and attainment. As history plainly shows, when a nation
loses its rightful measure of liberty, it soon sinks to the dead level of mediocrity of
the despotic races of our own day and of times long gone by. The struggle between
freedom and despotism, between the democratic idea and the monarchical idea, will
go on unceasingly until the cause of freedom triumphs. The higher principles of
political government will (slowly it may be, but surely) supersede the lower.
No truer principle of statesmanship was ever uttered, no truer and more endur-
ing basis for civil government can be found than that contained in these words
(the essence of Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights) in our grand Declaration
of Independence : "A government of the people, by the people, for the people.'*
Not in the dangerous paths of national aggrandizement, but in the wiser policy
of conservatism, may we find safety in our national career. As long as we
remain true to the wise principles laid down by the founders of our great
republic, as long as we remain true to national faith and honor (to our present
sound financial system firmly settled on a gold basis), to the eternal principles
of justice and fair dealing, as long as we remain loyal to the principle of civil
and religious liberty, we may be sure that the hand of Divine Providence will
continue in the future (as it has in the past) to shape the destiny of our nation,
will continue to lead us onward and upward in the paths of true progress.

ton. 1898. 4 to. pp. X. 4-437.
As the dedication of the second volume of this work was to Revolutionary
officers, so is that of the third, — as suggested by the period included in it, — to
those of the organization who fought for the Union in the War of the Rebel-
lion. Its smaller size in comparison with its predecessors is due to the fact
that some of the biographical sketches arrived too late for insertion.
In continuing his annals the author pursues the previously adopted course of
taking from the original records, which abound In material of no public value,
only such portions as are of historical interest and constitute therefore appre-
ciable illustrations of the Company's career.
The excellent prints, — thirty-four portraits and a frontispiece, ** The Farm-
house of Capt. Robert Keane at Rumney Marsh," — together with the index whose
plan has in previous notices been admiringly pointed out, very positively increase
the beauty and worth of a book which will surely fulfil its writer's iwpiration
that it may perpetuate the fame of those whose heroic loyalty has conferred
honor both on the Company and the State. One hundred and fifty members of
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, from major-generals down
through all the ranks, served In the field during the Rebellion, while others, with-

The compiler of this handsome volume says in his Preface : "No state has
been more fertile in the production of brainy and enterprising men than Massa-
chusetts ; and to bring the main facts of a portion of these worthy citizens of
this laat decade of the nineteenth century into public view is the real object of
this volume." We have here sketches of over two hundred persons who are
claimed as representing the oflScial, business and professional life of the last
decade of the present century. Most of the sketches are embellished with por-
traits on steel of a high order of merit. Among the persons whose memoirs
are here given may be named two poets, John G. Whlttier and Oliver Wendell
Holmes ; seven governors, Roger Wolcott, George S. Boutwell, WlUlam Claflin,
William Gaston, Alexander H. Rice, William E. Russell and Frederic T. Green-
halge; two United States senators, George P. Hoar and Henry Cabot Lodge;
three members of the cabinet of the United States, John D. Long, Richard Olney
and Cornelius N. Bliss— and the following distinguished in other walks : Robert
C. Winthrop, Charles Francis Adams, Charles Eliot Norton, Francis Amasa
Walker, Richard H. Dana and Henry B. Pelrce. The book deserves a place in
the library of every person who desires to keep himself informed of what has
been done by our representative men.

and the Massachusetts colony at Dorchester, South Carolina.
Much of the history of the city of Charleston, and of the state of South Caro-

These Letters were written by Lieut. Charles F. Morse of the Second Massa-
chusetts Infantry, and were written to members of his family during bis term
of service from May, 1861, to July, 1865. They are an interesting addition to
the literature of our late civil war.
Wilmington Ttecords of BiHhs, Marriage* and Deaths, from 1730 to 1898, Alpha-

8vo. pp. 255.
Another Massachusetts town is to be added to the roll of those whose records
have been printed. The volume before us contains the records of births, mar-
riages and deaths of the town of Wilmington, from 1730 to the present year.
The records are arranged alphabetically as to surnames and chronologically as to
entries. We have here the entire records of births, etc., from the incorporation
of the town in 1730. The volume containing the original records, prior to 1843,
was *Mn a very poor condition, the leaves of which were loose and much worn
on the edges." Mr. Kelley's labors has preserved their contents as well as the
later entries so that they are safe from the ravages of time. The book is well
printed, and does credit to the town clerk, Mr. Nichols, to Mr. KeUey and to the
town itself.

We continue in this number our quarterly notices of works on family history.
The Hapgood Family is a booli deserving of great praise. The first editioa
of tlie work was published in 1859, in the second volume of the late Rev. Abner
Morse's '• Genealogical Register of the Descendants of Several Ancient Puri-
tans," and was reprinted separately with the same type. In his notice of the
compiler of the present work. Rev. Mr. Morse says: "Warren Hapgood,
advantageously known as a merchant and a gentleman of liberal attainments
and enviable social position, is properly the father of this genealogy. It was
through Ills liberality that the labors of compilation have been sustained." Mr.
Morse's work made a pamphlet of thirty-eight pages. The present Hapgood
genealogy makes a bulky volume of nearly 600 pages. The compiler has spent
much time In collecting materials and in compiling the book. He has made it
everything that money and time would enable him to make it. The book is
handsomely printed on clear white paper, with broad margins, and illustrated
with thirty- eight fine engravings. A Supplement of 178 pages contains a variety

of articles written by Mr. Hapgood, " while in active business running through
a period of many years upon (Sfferent subjects, mostly of a sporting character,
which appeared in the public journals from time to time." They will be read
with interest. The book has a good index.
The Dodge Family is Intended as a supplement to the author's work pub-
lished four years ago, in 1894, and noticed in the Register. The new volume
contains nearly as much matter as the original work, and is compiled with the
same care as its predecessor, is handsomely printed, and is embellished with
forty-one fine engravings. A few copies of the first volume remain in the
hands of the author, which will be sold at six dollars a copy or 98.50 for both
volumes.
In 1886, Mr. Dean Dudley, who had in 1849 published an octavo volume of
144 pages on the Dudley family and soon after visited England to make gene-
alogical researches, which from time to time he printed for the benefit of his
kindred, Issued the first number of his complete History of the Dudley Family.
This history was issued in numbers of 100 pages each, illustrated, at $1 a num-
ber, and was compiled in 1894 in ten numbers, or bound in two volumes, cloth.
We understand that a few sets can be supplied at $12.50 the set. The Supple-
ment here noticed contains matter since discovered about the family in Eng-
land and further details about the family here. The history and the supple-
ment furnish a mass of information about the descendants of €k)v. Thomas
Dudley and the Dudley family in general.
The pamphlets on the Hills, Savage and Brackett families are valuable addi-
tions to our genealogical literature.

HOBSON.
Will op Thomas Hobson of Cambredgb, Eng., 1630.
Cjommunicated by Hbnby F. Watebs, A.M.
All through the days of my boyhood " Hobeon's choice, that or
none " was a household saying. It would be interesting to learn
when it first came into vogue in New England. It should be re-
membered that of the university men among the early settlers of
New England the majority had been brought up at Cambridge.
Some of them may have been actually acquainted with this Thomas
Hobson, and all of them may have learned something about him and
his ways. I have note of the will of his son Thomas who died in
his father's life time and who styled himself gentleman.
Thomas Hobson of Cambridge, in the County of Cambridge, carrier, 24
December, 6^ Charles (1"^), with a Codicil made 27 December, 1630,
another codicil added 31 December, 1630, another dated 1 January, 1630,
and another of the same date, proved I February, 1630. To be buried in
the church of St. Bennett's in Cambridge. To my grandchild Thomas
Hobson, the son of Thomas Hobson deceased, my several manors or lord-
ships in Cottenham, Cambridge. To the said Thomas the house I dwell
in, situate in St. Bennett's parish, Cambridge. The four daughters of son
Thomas, Elizabeth, Ann or Agnes, Mary and Margaret. My daughter
Ann Knightes. My grandchild Charles Hobson, son of the said Thomas
Hobson deceased. Tenements &c. in Chesterton. My grandchild William
Knightes. My sister-in-law Katherine Hobson, widow, and Jonathan
Hobson her son. My cousin Thomas Hobson, the son of my brother
Edward. I give unto Henry Farnell the elder my barn and the close
adjoining to it, situate in Cambridge over against Pembrook Hall, for life,
and afterwards to my kinsman William Kymer and his heirs. I have
already provided sufficiently for my daughter Dorothy the wife of Sir
Simon Clarke, Knight and Baronet, and also for Elizabeth the wife of
Thomas Parker, Esq., and have given them large portions. My godchild
Thomas Sober the son of Richard Sober. My Malt House in Sparrow

Lane. My oouaiD Cornelius Archer. Provision for the maintenance of
the condait standing upon Market Hill for ever. The top of it to be made
half a yard higher or more. My kinswoman Katherine Feild. I desire
my worthy friend Mr. Sergeant mug and my good friend Christopher Rose,
gen^ to be my executors.
In the codicil of 31 December he refers to Mary Hobson deceased the
mother of his grandchildren Elizabeth, Ann or Agnes, Margaret and Mary
Hobson. In the last codicil he makes provision for the maintenance of the
House of Correction and Workhouse in Cambridge. St. John, 17.
[The above communication was received from Mr. Waters before the heroic
exploit of Lieut. Hobson, or it would probably have been alluded to by him.
The article was ready for the July Rboister, but a misunderstanding caused It
to be left out.— Editor.]
Biographical Handbook of Anglo-Ambricans.— Joseph Foster, Hon.
M.A. Oxon., whose genealogical works are acknowledged to be of a high order,
has issued a circular, from which we make the following extracts :
'* In view of the yet closer friendliness of the three sections of the two great
English-Speaking Nations, I have undertaken to compile a Biographical Hand-
book of Anglo-Americans (including Colonials), price Five Dollars, compris-
ing short notices of those leading men of our race, who have acquired their
prominence, either from their own efforts or by the efforts of their fathers, this
to be the forerunner of my greatest genealo^cal work, viz., ' Anglo- American
Families.'
'' Intending American subscribers to the Handbook are requested to send the
particulars relating to themselves when they send their subscription of Five
Dollars. Arrangements are pending for an American co-editor and an Anglo-
American publisher for the Handbook, which will be duly announced.
'* I have also made arrangements for supplying facsimiles of those ancient
family records whose quaint crabbed characters will never fail to remind tliose
far away, of their connection with English History, for these pedigrees and
arms were written and tricked two and three hundred years ago."
We commend Mr. Foster's undertaking to the favorable attention of our
readers. A recent number (354) of the Quarterly Review, in an article on
'* The Peerage," thus speaks of his genealogical work ; " No writer, treating
of our subject, can afford to pass over in silence the labors of Mr. Joseph Fos-
ter, whose merits the University of Oxford has lately recognized by the grant
of an honorary degree. We know not whether to admire the more his indus-
try or his honesty of purpose, and we trust that he may yet find time to renew
the publication of his peerage (1880-1888), which was pitiless in its exposure of
false pretensions and undoubtedly compelled other editors to set their house in
order." The price is $5 to sabscribers, or $7.50 on publication. Mr. Foster*^
address is 21 Boundary Road, Finchley Road, London, N. W.
Harlbian Society.— The fourth and final volume of the ** Register Book of
Marriages belonging to the Parish of St. George, Hanover Square, co. Middle-
sex," has just been issued by the Harleian Society to its members. The years
embraced in this volume are 1824 to 1887, carrying them down to the time when
the Civil Registration Act of 1886 came into force, by which all marriages are
entered at Somerset House, and can be inspected there. The work lias been
edited by G. J. Armytage, Esq., F.S.A., the Honorary Secretary of the Society;
and a carefully compilc^d Index completes an interesting and valuable genea-
logical volume.

MEMORIAL BIOGRAPHIES, VOL. 5.
The Fifth Volume of Memorial Biographies of deceased members of the
New-England Historic Genealogical Society was published last autumn.
It contains memoirs of 49 members of the Society, or of all who died
between April 16, 1862, and June 15, 1864. The four previous volumes
contain memoirs of 162 members, making a total of 211 memoirs in the
five volumes — an average of 42 memoirs to a volume.
Each volume contains over five hundred octavo pages, printed on superior
paper, handsoniely bound, and indexed. The price is $2.50 a volunie, or
$10.00 for the five volumes. When the books are sent by mail,'the postage,
25 cents a volume, will be added.
This series of volumes is replete with historic and biographic lore, of
constantly increasing value — great pains having been taken to make the
memoirs complete and accurate.
The books make excellent presents, especially from members of the
Society to their friends. Only a small edition of this volume is printed.
