DANIEL DENISON SLADE.
By Chaeles R. Eastman, Fb.D., of Cambridge, Mass.
11 Altissima qaa?que flumina minimo sono labantar." — Quintus Curtius Iiufus.
When a man of remarkable fineness of personality is taken from
the midst of us ; when, moreover, he happens to be recognized as a
man of great parts, eminent in his profession, and commanding uni-
versal esteem and admiration ; and when those who knew him best
are constantly reminded of the quiet dignity of his life, his modesty,
and naturally retiring disposition ; under such circumstances it be-
comes difficult to speak adequately, at least in a public way, of the
man himself. It is easier to relate the achievements and outer cir-
cumstances of his life than to portray the character and finer quali-
ties of his makeup, as comprehended by those who have stood nearest
him. The present account of such a man is subject to these difficul-
ties, and it is felt that much is lost sight of which is precious in the
memories of his more intimate associates.
Daniel Denison Slade, the subject of this sketch, was born in Bos-
ton, May 10, 1823, and died at Chestnut Hill, February 11, 1896.
His father was Jacob Tilton Slade, a Boston merchant, and son of
Benjamin Slade, of Portsmouth. His mother, Elizabeth (Rogers)
Slade, was a daughter of Daniel Denison and Elizabeth (Brom-
field) Rogers. After her untimely death, when her son Daniel was
only three years of age, her husband left for Europe, never to re-
turn ; and her brother, the late Henry B. Rogers, became Daniel's
guardian. Daniel D. Rogers was a successful Boston merchant,
residing in a large brick mansion which lie built on the lot of land
between Mt. Vernon and Bowdoin streets, and facing Beacon street*
In this house Daniel lived until he was ten years old, and the place
never ceased to possess attractions for him.

10 Daniel Denisoii Blade. [Jan,
Little is known of Dr. Slade's paternal ancestry, but on the maternal side
the records are very complete and readily accessible.* Hence it will be
sufficient here to indicate the genealogy only in a general way. Beginning
with Rev. John Rogers, who emigrated from England in 1G36, and later
became the fifth president of Harvard College, the male line of descent is
as follows: John1 (b. 1630, d. July 2, 1684), m. Elizabeth Denison,
daughter of Major-General Daniel Deuison and wife Patience Dudley, who
was the daughter of Governor Thomas Dudley; Rev. John* (b. July 7,
1666, d. Dec. 28, 1745), m. Martha Whittingham, daughter of William
Tfhittingham and graud-daughter of John Lawrence of Ipswich; Rev.
Daniel3 (b. July 28, 1707, d. 1785), m. Anna Foxcroft, daughter or Thomas
and grand-daughter of Francis Foxcroft, of Cambridge; Daniel Denison4
(b. May 11, 1751, d. March 25, 1825), m. Elizabeth Bromrield, who was
the onlv child of Henrv Bromfield, of Harvard, Mass., by his second wife
Hannah Clarke; Elizabeth Rogers5 (b. Sept. 11, 1798, d. Aug. 14, 1826),
m. J. T. Slade.
Hannah Clarke was the eldest daughter of Richard (b. May 11, 1711,
d. 1790) and Elizabeth (Winslow) Clarke, of Boston. Another daughter,
Susanna, married John Singleton Copley, the artist, their house being on
Beacon street, on the site of the present Somerset Club House. Henry
Bromfield (b. Nov. 12, 1727. d. Feb. 3, 1820) was the secoud son of Ed-
ward (b. Nov. 5, 1695, d. April 10, 1756) and Abigail (Coney) Brom-
field. Edward's father was the first of the name to emigrate to this coun-
try, the family being traceable iu Eugland as far back as the reign of Edward
II., and being undoubtedly of Welsh origin. It appears that the grand-
mother of Edward Bromfield, who came to America in 1675, was one of
the Quincy family. Thus, not only was Daniel Denison Slade the bearer
of an illustrious New Eugland name, but in him converged the lineage of
a number of highly distinguished families.
Having early manifested an aptitude for study, great pains were
taken in providing the young Daniel with proper educational advan-
tages. Accordingly, we find him transferred at the age of ten years
from the public school system of Boston to the care of the Hon.
Stephen Weld, of Jamaica Plain. Afterwards he was removed to
the family school of Rev. Ezra Ripley, of Waltham, and in 1835
he was sent to Northborough, where he lived two years in the
charge of the Rev. Joseph Allen. Of his life there, and his at-
tachment to the school, we have abundant record. f The following

extract from a letter dated Oct. 1, 1835, is significant, since it fore-
shadows his devotion to natural history, the pursuit of which after-
wards became one of his ruling passions :
"Northboro' is a very pleasant little place. The leaves are just begin-
ning to turn red and white and yellow, and the woods look very pretty
indeed The boys have got a society up among themselves to collect
specimens of stones, and curious things that we might happen to find. I
was chosen Secretary, but declined the office. We have a meeting every
Monday evening."
Mr. Slade was finally prepared for college at the Boston Latin
School, where he acquitted himself very creditably. It was a life-
long habit of his to preserve with the greatest care and system all
manner of documents, letters and personal souvenirs ; and he had
also the laudable virtue of keeping a journal and a scrap-book.
Some years before his death Dr. Slade took occasion to look over
an old file of " Monthly Reports " of the Latin School, signed by
the venerable master, E. S. Dixwell, and count crsigned by H. B.
Rogers. To this file he added the following memorandum: *rAt
the Latin School I was obliged to contend with boys who had en-
joyed the great advantages of this school for several years, while I
had received little or no solid instruction. It was in every way a
severe test of ability." The reports are of uniform excellence ; and
at this school, also, he received a prize for the best Latin poem.
Mr. Slade entered Harvard when seventeen years of age, passing
the entrance examinations with distinction. The four years of his
undergraduate experience proved to be a great formative period in
his career. During it, his abilities as a student were abundantly
manifested, as is witnessed by the fact of his receiving several hon-
orary prizes, one of these being for the best Latin poem. During
this period, also, were nurtured and strengthened those tastes which
remained most dominant in him throughout life, especially his fond-
ness for literary, historical and scientific pursuits. Of the Harvard
Natural History Society he was successively vice-president and
treasurer, president, and curator of ornithology and geology ; and
he contributed to it his enthusiastic support. The friendships, too,
that were formed during his college days proved to be the closest
and truest of his whole life. A classmate of such men as Francis
Parkman, Leverett Saltonstall, George S. Hale, J. O. Dalton and
B. A. Gould, the mutual attachments initiated during their college
course grew warmer and firmer with increasing years, so that it is
impossible to disassociate his memory from connection with these
intimate friends.
Life at Harvard during the forties is depicted very graphically
and in a remarkably ingenuous style by Mr. Slade in his journal,
some extracts from which have been incorporated in the semi-cen-
leport recently prepared by Mr. Edward Wheel-
12 Daniel Denison Slade. [Jan.
wright. In this journal we read of customs and associations that
have long since passed away ; we see strange faces and hear unfa-
miliar voices. We attend Exhibition Day, "pass a pleasant hour"
with the president, parade with the Navy Club, dance around bon-
fires in the yard, and celebrate Class Day and Commencement in
the good old style. Even the student vernacular is out of date
nowadays ; there is no longer bathing in the Charles nor boating on
Fresh Pond ; neither do we pay toll on the mill-dam, nor " \2h cents
for an omnibus ride to any part of the city." And the chapel bell
no longer rings for morning prayers at "some hour during the
night." We may be permitted a peep at this bygone era through
the loophole of the following passages ; and should any of them
appear trite, it must not be forgotten that the college was then
hardly more than an Academy, and that the diarist was a lad under
twenty :
1842. Mar. 1. Made a decent recitation in Latin. I resolved that I
would not use a pony this term, but seeing some nice little ones for Greek
at the store, and learning that most of our class had them, I could not re-
sist the temptation and bought one.
Apr. 13. Had the proctor up in my room yesterday the second time for
playing upon my flute. I wish he would stop a little of the noise that is
sometimes made in the entry instead of attacking me and my flute every
time.
May 2. Oar [Oxford] caps came out from Boston. Snow, Perry, and
myself christened ours in Treadwell's room with whiskey punch, lemouade
etc. We made a great noise.
May 18. As the West Cambridge omnibus went by this morning there
was a man upon the top of it with a caricature of the " Cap " upon his
head. Some of the students being near stoned him, and not only knocked
the cap from his head hut also broke several of the omnibus windows.
We expected him again at night when the omnibus came along, and we
were not disappointed. There he sat with that cap on, and with a most
triumphant look, but he was not doomed to stay there long. As the omnibus
came along. White — Junior — ran out and threw a water pail so fairly
as to strike him directly under the rim and thus knock it oil'; volleys of
stones immediately followed, and several chased the omnibus nearly to
Mrs. Schutte's where it stopped, as I understood, to let a lady out. Rowan
— Freshman — climbed up upon the omaibus and took the cap away, while
two or three more getting up behind struck him and knocked him off. He
fell upon his back, but nobody interfering with him, he got up and ran for
his life, having a dozen at his back, striking him with their crmes. The
fellow would have been all but killed had not a gentleman taken him into
his chaise. He promised he never would wear it again. We gave three
cheers, and marched hack with the cap as a trophy to the college yard.
May 19. The omnibus from W. Cambridge went by this morning very
peaceably, no hostilities being shown. The man who wore the cap was
hired by some one who was an enemy to the college, hoping to get up a
disturbance. The President gave us a very fine speech this morning in
which he appealed to our honour in this matter of the caps, and hoped that
we would do everything as became members of this ancient University.

May 21. "Walked into town at about 5 o'clock and there witnessed what
we all expected would take place, namely, a row between the students and the
rabble. There had beeu several all over the city, aud every one was much
excited. Nothing was talked of but the caps.
May 23. Great preparations were made today for the mob which we
expect tonight. Went out with Bradford and Park man to cut a club after
dinner. Went to walk with P. after supper, and while we were walking
toward the Pond, the bell rang for fire, and thinking that it might be a pre-
text for collecting the people together, we ran back. I left Frank at his
house, and had got nearly down to the College when I heard a great shout-
ins and breaking of glass, and thinking that the mob had attacked one of
the buildings, I ran to the assistance of my Alma Mater. When I entered
the yard I saw a most horrible sight, namely, the French room in old Massa-
chusetts apparently on fire. The students soon collected round and with
considerable exertion succeeded iu putting it out, altho' it was confined to
the closet. It was undoubtedly communicated by some miserable scoundrel
who was ripe for a row. There is no building I would not sooner see go than
that old, venerable pile. I trust the Faculty will do all in their power to
find the scoundrel out. Everyone expected a row tonight, and all were
walking about the yard armed cap-a-pie. The night, however, passed off
without disturbance. A watch of four was set by the college to prevent
any further damage.
June 30. There have been a great many " blowings up " lately. A
bomb was found up in the belfry all ready to touch, containing several
pounds of powder. It would have blown everything to atoms
Attended a meeting of the X. History Society, one of the best societies in
College, and was unanimously chosen Vice-President and Treasurer.
July 6. There was one of the greatest outrages committed last night
that has been perpetrated in this College. A large bombshell was placed
in a small closet in Pierce'.s room, and exploded, literally tearing the room to
atoms, also the hall of commons underneath and Bartlett's room. With so
much violence did it explode that large beams were split, and several stones
started on the outside of the building The thickness of the
bomb was about two inches, and Prof. Treadwell says that if it had been
placed in the centre of the room the whole wing of the building would have
been a mass of- ruins. A meeting of the students, authorized by the
President, was held after prayers, at which several resolutions were
adopted and requested to be published in all the principal papers.
Dec. 29. Four of us, Lord, Davis, Prescott and myself decided to go
up to the ball at Lexington tonight, and were quite a load for one horse in
a great ark Davis and myself shook hands with the girls we had
seen there before, and they seemed delighted to see us. We immediately
commenced dancing, about 9 o'clock, aud kept it up till 3 a.m. The en-
tire concern was on a larger and better scale than the last one. We had
better music and plenty of girls. I introduced Prescott aud Lord about.
We did not get off from paying this time, but had to launch out our dollar.
They kicked up such a most tremendous dust that our clothes were covered
and our hair appeared grey. When we got through we found it snowing
very hard, and that it was impossible to get home, so we were obliged to
wait till daylight. We at last sot under way for Cambridge, raining most
tremendously, and arrived a little after 8 o'clock. Cut all the recitations
this morning, as I felt so badly. Felt much better in the evening, so that I
wrote quite a long report on the " skunk " for the N. History Society.
VOL. LI. 2*
14 Daniel Deni son Slade. [Jan.
After graduating from Harvard in 1844, Mr. Slade spent some
months on a farm near Greenfield, but returned to Cambridge in
the early winter, and became enrolled as a resident graduate.
Here he became intimately associated with the historian, Jared
Sparks, and was engaged under him in the copying of original
documents relating to the American Revolution. In 1845 he en-
tered the Harvard Medical School, and his success here decided him
on the choice of medicine as a profession. On receiving his Doc-
tor's degree in 1848, he was appointed house surgeon at the Massa-
chusetts General Hospital, where he served for one year. He then
went abroad, remaining in all three years in Europe, most of his
time being devoted to the study of his profession in Dublin and in
Paris. Returning in 1852, he began practice in his native city,
where he continued to reside until 1863. During these vears nu-
merous articles on medical subjects proceeded from his pen, most of
them being signed simply r' Medicus" ; and he was the successful
competitor for four medical prizes, — the Boylston of 1851, the
Massachusetts Medical for 1859, and the Fiske Fund for 1850 and
1852. Two of his prize essays have been published separately,
their titles being especially noted below.
In his domestic relations Dr. Slade was particularly fortunate. At
King's Chapel, on May 27, 185G, he was married to Mina Louise,
daughter of Conrad and Lisette Hensler. In his wife he found
a helpmeet of rare devotion, who entered with enthusiasm into all
his projects, and whose counsel and encouragement he was accus-
tomed to depend upon for a period of nearly forty years. Four
sons and seven daughters were the fruit of this union, of whom
one son has died. Of the happiness pervading his home life, it is
unnecessary to speak : an index of it may be found, however, in
these words, which were jotted down by the Doctor in his diary on
the occasion of his fiftieth birthday :
My fiftieth birthday. Fifty years! It seems a good many, but after all
what are they ? I am in health, and in the enjoyment of all needful blessings,
— riches, in the form of a fond wife, and darling children, — as well as
riches which the world calls wealth My dear home, my dar-
lings within it, as yet an unbroken circle! .... How ungrateful I
am for these many blessings! God help me and make me better.
During the war Dr. Slade was appointed one of the inspectors
•of hospitals under the Sanitary Commission, and was otherwise oc-
cupied with undertakings involving great responsibility. In 1863
he removed with his family to Chestnut Hill, and continued to re-
side until his death upon one of the most beautiful and command-
ing estates in that attractive suburb. After this time he began to
relinquish gradually the practice of his profession, and to devote
himself more uninterruptedly to literary and horticultural pursuits.
1897.] Daniel Denison Slade. 15
He was passionately fond of flowers and plants, and it was his in-
variable habit to spend one or more hours each day in his garden or
conservatory. His contributions on the subject of horticulture are
numerous, including a charming little volume entitled "Evolution
of Horticulture in Xew England ; " and he was prominently iden-
tified with the Xewton and the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
cities.
In 1870 Dr. Slade was appointed Professor of Applied Zoology
at the newly established Bussey Institution at Jamaica Plain. He
remained in all twelve years engaged in this capacity, and had the
satisfaction of seeing his department take root and flourish under
his direction. Nor was his efficiency limited to giving instruction
alone, for in other ways he contributed materially toward strength-
ening the early organization of the Institution. In 1885 the scene
of his labors was transferred to Cambridge, owing to his appoint-
ment as Assistant in Osteology at the Agassiz Museum. This posi-
tion, with the coincident one of giving lectures in comparative
osteology in Harvard College, he continued to hold up to the time
of his death. During these years he performed a vast deal of useful
service, and incidentally published a considerable number of sci-
entific articles. The College was further benefitted by his founda-
tion of the Slade Scholarship, which represented a gift on his part
of five thousand dollars.
As a lecturer, Dr. Slade was extremely popular, owing to his
charm of speech and manner, and power of stimulating original
observation on the part of his students. He seems never to have
forgotten a lesson taught him by his own personal experience, name-
ly, the necessity of looking to the natural objects themselves for the
information they contain. The difficulty he had in mastering
astronomy is recorded in his college journal, where numerous allu-
sions are made to having "deaded" recitations. But one luminous
entry reads as follows : " Nov. 17, 18-13. Studied my astronomy
with the aid of Smith's globe this evening, and thereby learned
more than I have in all the time before." The extract is significant,
since in his teaching he strenuously insisted that as much use be
made of the actual specimens as possible, and for this reason his
course in osteology had the reputation of being a most excellent
one for training the powers of observation.
The affectionate regard for him entertained by both students and
fellow-workers is evinced by a large and interesting correspondence,
which was terminated only by his death. Similarly, there are nu-
merous warm expressions proceeding from time to time from his
classmates, of which one instance only can be noted here. Serious
illness having incapacited the Doctor from attending his class re-
union in 1882, he was made the recipient of the following letter: —

thize with you in your illness, how we prize your friendship and love, and

But it was at his own fireside and within the circle of his own in-
timate friends that Dr. Slade's innate nobility and refinement of na-
ture were revealed at their best. His warm-hearted, sensitive dis-
position, his rare sympathy and capacity for feeling, his culture,
love of intellectual pursuits and companionship, his intense admira-
tion of nature in all its forms, his perfect sincerity, uprightness
and high moral principles — these were among his most marked
characteristics. One who stands high in University circles and was
long and intimately associated with the Doctor, has spoken of him in
the following words : "His simplicity, directness and moral earnest-
ness were strikingly apparent, and his strong desire to be of service
was one of his chief characteristics. He was just and considerate
in Ins relations to others, and he had a modest estimate of his own
powers and labors. He was faithful in labor, friendship, love and
duty." .... Other appreciative and tender expressions are
not wanting, and especially warm tributes to his memory were paid
by the Bostonian and the Historical and Genealogical Societies, of
both of which he was an active member, at meetings held shortly af-
ter his death. Enough, however, has already been said to recall the
fact to our minds that the life which has recently closed was one
of exceptional worth, full of honor and usefulness ; one such as was
in keeping with high ideals of Christian character, and whose
emulation cannot but be fraught with blessing.
" His life was gentle; and the elements
So mix'd in him. that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, This was a man ! "

Sir
For some time past, I have regularly sent you, as far as they were
printed, the Sheets of the 2d volume of The Prospect, because I nattered
myself, that although neither the stile nor matter could be exactly conform-
able to your ideas, or taste, yet that upon the whole, they would not be
disagreeable. Whether I was right or wrong, or whether indeed you
received my letters, I do not know.
Along with this letter come two others, containing 1 set for you, and a
second for Mr. Madison of whom to balance the absolute necessity of con-
demning his share in the Convention business, I have spoke in the terms
that his talents and his virtues, as well as my personal obligations to him
do so eminently demand, in the sheet which follows this. You have still
40 pages to receive. Most of it is set up, but various things prevent its
being worked off. 3 of my compositors have successively fallen sick,
which has greatly retarded the progress of the work. If I can manage the
price of the paper, I mean to go right on with a second part, for the amuse-
ment of reading, writing, aud printing is the ouly thing that has kept me
from going out of my senses, iu this den of wretchednes and horror. On
Friday last, 10 blacks were taken out and hung; aud they were hardly
gone, when 14 pirates, accused of murder &c were brought in their places.
I have kept my health and spirits better than any white person I have seen
here; partly because my mind is clear, and partly because, during the warm
weather, I went often into Mr. Rose's, for fresh air; but on this subject
the marshall has interfered. I do not believe that the world ever saw such
a contemptible set of scoundrels.
I have been plucked by my subscribers, numbers of whom went off with-
out paying me. I advertised for payment, but excepting 20 dolls from one
in Wythe county have not got one farthing. I have advanced 14 dollars
to one of the journeymen, who was starving, and he has been struck with
the dead palsy. Mr. Lyon went off with about 70, or 80 dollars, I think,
in my debt, and that is also a desperate debt. I sent by Duane's desire
100 copies to Philadelphia, and now, from motives of envy I presume, he
refuses to advertise them, while the whole edition here is got sold, but a
dozen or two, at the most, so I have sent for them back again, and shall &
have to pay two freights for nothing.
I should be much obliged to you for sending me a few lines, at first or
second hand, merely to let me know that the packets have, or have not,
reached you. This I fancy could be here by the return of post. I by no
means, wish to take up time devoted to purposes so much more important,
but just a few lines, if not improper, would be very welcome; and if you
were to return Mr. Rose's notice, it would please the old gentleman, who

but that he is timid has no fault upon earth ; and his daughter is perhaps the
most generous hearted creature under heaven.
The principal thing that vexed me in this husiness was the being pre-
vented from going up to Pennsylvania to bring down my 3 boys, and to see
a fourth person there, of whom I can, by no letters gain an account. This
disappointment put me, for some weeks, into an extasy of rage that no
words can express, but time softens every thing. My boys, are here, are
well ; and still I hope to be what I once was, one of the happiest of human
beings ; and which I alwise would have been, if fortune had been half as
kind as nature to

Richmond Jail, Octo. 1800
Sir
I am afraid of being troublesome. I wrote you last week with
some pages of the Prospect, and now inclose a few more. I expect to have
two pieces in tomorrow's Argus and a defence of Mr. Coxe in the Exam-
iner. Mr. Larkin Stannard of Spottsylvania was here this minute, and
says that some of my subscribers that he got me, were shy of taking the
books after they heard of my being in prison. It almost requires an effort
of my credulity to believe that such wretches can exist. How Congress
contrived to raise the fabric of a revolution upon such scaffolding is wonder-
ful indeed.
Certainly a people thus buried in the kennel of servility require very
much the aid of a political apostle; and I have contemplated, for some
time, the setting up, next summer, or autumn, a printing office in Richmond
providing we succeed in turning out the aristocracy. By a press of my
own, I would not only get the work much more easily, and thankfully, but
much more cheaply done ; aud among such drones, I could not fail of plenty
of business. The editorship of a newspaper, and the probable profit of a
volume per annum would come to a thousand dollars per annum, 500 for
the former, the Argus or Examiner, and 500 for the latter; and upon a
smaller sum it is not possible to exist. 2 or 300 dollars would be quite
enough. to buy a press &c.

An uncommon alarm has been spread here that Congress were to-

business, when upon the arrival of this news, I was advised to withdraw it,.
until I should see if it was true.
My answer was: " It is a part of my constitution, it is interwoven with
my intellectual existence that the greater opposition is, I become the more
determined to strike it in the face ; and I shall let the world see that if I
were to stay here for thirty years, I shall not be moved by one hair's

I am to get out of this plaee iu ten days, upon my having paid a fine
of two hundred dollars. The money is ready ; but if I am to pay it, I shall
be so much reduced in my finances, as hardly to be able to go to Phila-
delphia. Mr. Jones has advised me to state the matter to you, with
reference to a remission. I thought it my duty to do so ; and under
the supposition of that, I shall wait here for a few days for the expiration
of the term. Indeed there is uobody here to whom I can pay the cash,
or who can tell me in what manner the security is to be given, as
Marshal], the man who should take it, has gone up to the federal city.
I should not have been so bare of money, but that I paid for the print
and paper of the two pamphlets you have seen ; and could not get the last
of them ready till the assembly broke up; so that for the present they must
remain almost entirely upon my hand. I printed them in the genuine
spirit of contradiction, as I may perhaps never have another opportunity
of letting the world see how I can write in jail. If I am to hear upon the
subject of remission, yon will perceive the expediency of its being done
as early as possible.

to disappoint the choice of the people has disgusted many of their best

useless.

many of the newspapers, from various presses, which I have sent you, were
destroyed by the Post office criminals ; for surely, a more detestable sink of in-

I address this letter to you, by the advice of Mr. Edmund Ran-
dolph. It had been understood that my flue of two hundred dollars was to
be remitted. The late marshall refused to return the money. It would be
unnecessary to repeat the particulars of his refusal ; because they were
communicated some weeks ago, to Mr. Lincoln ; and because Mr. Randolph
has undertaken to explain them to you. I should not have intruded upou
you with this application, if I had not lost all reasonable hopes of an
answer from the Secretary. I was the more hurt by this disappointment
because I had wrote to Mr. Leiper that I would positively send him this
money, and because my friends at Philadelphia have contrived to produce
a coolness on his part. It would have been fortunate for me, if I had still
remained in jail as from the change of air I have never had a day's health
since I came out of it. Some monies had been collected to assist me, and
the greater part of it has been intercepted ! The Governor [Monroe] has
•engaged to assist me, in discharging my account of boarding with Mr.
Rose, although he could hardly believe but what it had been discharged by
a Democratical collection. During the two years that I have been in
Richmond, I was paid ten dollars per week as an editor for four months
and a half; for a half of the rest of that time, I received victuals; and for
what I did in the next nine montbs I neither received, nor do I ever expect to
receive a single farthing. I mention these particulars as this is probably
the close of my correspondence with you, that you may not suppose

that I, at least, have gained anything by the victories of Republicanism.
Governor Monroe knows much more which I would be ashamed to put
upon paper of the unexampled treatment which I have received from the
party. This was because I had gone farther to serve them than some
dastards durst go to serve themselves ; and they wished, under all sorts of
bad usage, to bury the memory of offensive obligations. By the cause, I
have lost five years of labor ; gained five thousand personal euemies ; got
my name inserted in five hundred libels, and have ultimately got some-
thing very like a quarrel with the only friend I had in Pennsylvania. In
a won], I have been equally calumniated, pillaged, and betrayed by all
parties. I have only the consolation of reflecting that I had acted from
principle, and that with a few individual exceptions, I have never affected to
trust either the one or the other.
I hope, sir, that you will forgive the length and the stile of this letter;
and with great respect, I have the honor to be, sir your most obliged hum-
ble servant.

my writing in my own hand.

I unhesitatingly admit your claim to all the information I possess in
relation to your case. The statement I made was reed from the Depart-
ment of State. I recollect to have inquired how far the remission ex-
tended, and received for answer that it applied only to a small period of
term of confinement. Nothing was said in respect to the fine imposed.
I am your obedient servant,

From the contents of the above letter, it would appear that some person
in the said Department must be disordered in his mind. There was never
a remission at all ; and if there had been one, it could not have referred
to imprisonment, which had expired. — J. T. C.
P. S. Perhaps it was Mr. Wagner, who, at an early period, had made
himself extremely busy with my name. He circulated a report that I had
behaved villainously in Scotland. Mr. F. Muhlenburg, sent for me, and
told me the particulars, and gave Wagner as his author. I had luckily
preserved some Scots letters, which explained the manner in which I
parted with Gaidenstone, the matter referred to. I did not, until some
years after, know the original author of the story. It was one John Millar,
whose lady, a daughter of Dr. Culiem, took this dirty method of reveng-
ing an attack which I had, 15 years before, made upon the quack synopsis
of her father, when I was attending a medical class.
The bud health of my family prevented me, at the time, from waiting
upon Wagner, to whom I am personally a stranger ; and Miller who is
long ago stiff was always exceedingly smooth to my face.

THE GOVERNMENT OF HARVARD COLLEGE, PAST
AND PRESENT.
By Hon. William A. Richardson, LL.D., Chief Justice of the Court of Claims, "Wash-
ington, D. C.
The governing power of Harvard College, differing from that
of any other institution of learning in this country, is divided be-
tween two boards of distinct organization and of unlike authority,
each perpetuated in its membership by different methods of selec-
tion.
It was not so at the beginning. In the course of two hundred
and sixty years several changes have taken place, each growing
out of the necessities of the case, the circumstances of the times, or
public sentiment.
The foundation of the college is officiallv recognized to date from
September 8, 1636, the time of assembling of the "General Court"
of Massachusetts, by which it was agreed to give four hundred
pounds towards a school or college, etc. For six years the college
went on without a charter, although it had a President and Treas-
urer from 1640.
In 1642, the year of graduation of the first class, the General
Court passed an Act establishing "The Overseers of Harvard Col-
lege."
This act provided that "the Governor and Deputy Governor, for
the time being, and all the magistrates of this jurisdiction, together
with the teaching elders of the six next adjoining towns, — viz.
Cambridge, Watertown, Charlestown, Boston, Roxbury and Dor-
chester— and the President of the said college, for the time being,
shall, from time to time have full power and authority to make and
establish all such orders, statutes and constitutions as they shall
6ee necessary for the instituting, guiding and furthering of the said
College."
That the Overseers thus constituted were not adapted to the effi-
cient management of the affairs of the college is evident from the
fact that in 1650 the General Court created a Corporation and
.enacted the "Charter of the President and Fellows of Harvard
College."
It was constituted of seven persons, to wit : a President, five
Fellows, and a Treasurer or Bursar, named in the act "All of them
being inhabitants of the Bay," and to be the first seven persons of
which the Corporation was to consist. They were to have perpetual
succession, by electing, with the consent of the Overseers, persons
to take the places of those who died or were removed.
-
1897.] The Government of Harvard College, 27
To this board were transferred the property, real and personal,
and all the powers previously vested in the Overseers, subject gen-
erally to the supervision and consent or approval of the latter.
Attempts were made by the General Court in 1692, 1697 and
1700, to change the constitution of the Corporation, but the acts
were either not approved by the king or were not assented to by
the college, and were never recognized as in force.
The constitution of Massachusetts, adopted in 1780, ratified and
confirmed all the powers, authorities, rights, liberties, privileges,
immunities and franchises of the " President and Fellows of Harvard
College in their corporate capacity ; " and as to the Overseers, it
made this provision : —
"And whereas, by an Act of the General Court of the Colony of Massa-
chusetts Bay, passed in the year one thousand six huudred and forty-two,
the Governor and Deputy-Governor for the time being, and all the magis-
trates of that jurisdiction, were with the President, and a number of the
clergy in the said act described, constituted the Overseers of Harvard Col-
lege; and it being necessary, in this new constitution of government, to
ascertain who shall be deemed successors to the said Governor, Deputy-
Governor, and magistrates, — It is declared that the Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Council, and Senate of this Commonwealth are and shall be
deemed their successors ; who with the President of Harvard College for
the time being, together with the ministers of the Congregational churches
in the towns of Cambridge, Watertown, Charlestown, Boston, Roxbury,
and Dorchester, mentioned in the said Act; shall be, and hereby are vested
with all the powers and authority belonging or in any way appertaining to
the Overseers of Harvard College."
Until 1810, in accordance with the prevailing sentiment of those
puritanical times, the teaching elders, or ministers of Congregational
churches, with some few officials from the political branch of the
Government, constituted the Overseers, and generally with the Cor-
poration had entire control of the affairs of the college.
In that year the General Court made a radical change in the
organization. It divided the members of the Board into two classes,
"fifteen ministers of Congregational churches and fifteen laymen,
all inhabitants within the state," to be selected by the board in per-
petual succession. All ministers of Congregational churches who
were then members were to remain so long as they continued such
ministers and no longer.
This was the first introduction of laymen into the Board, except
the ex-officio members from certain officers of the state govern-
ment.
In 1814, the members of the Senate were restored to the Board
where they had seats under the constitution of 1780, but were omitted
in the Act of 18 10. As few of them were clergymen this made a
majority of the Overseers laymen.
28 The Government of Harvard College. [Jan.
In 1834, when the Puritan prejudice against other forms of church
government than congregational had been somewhat outgrown or
greatly modified, the General Court passed an Act permitting the
Board, when a vacancy existed in the clerical part of the Overseers,
to "elect any stated minister of the Church of Christ, ordained
agreeably to the usages of the order to which they belong."
Much prejudice had grown up among the Calvinists throughout
the state and even bevond the state, against the college on account
of its alleged sectarianism, founded wholly on the fact that all the
members of the corporation and most of the elective Overseers were
Unitarians, with power of perpetual succession.
In 1845, this led to a movement in the Board of Overseers, crit-
icising the management of the college ostensibly for the purpose of
introducing some improvements, but in reality with the view, as
President Quincy stated it, of "getting one sect of Christians out
and another sect in " under the guise of having the college unsec-
tarian, and with the ultimate object of convening it into a strictly
sectarian institution like other colleges of that day.
Mr. Quincy made a vigorous, spirited and able argument before
the Overseers against the whole scheme, pointing out the errors on
which it was founded, and showing that the college as conducted
was in fact unsectarian under its then existing management, much
more so than it probably would be under a government differently
organized in any manner contemplated.
Mr. Quincy's speech was published in pamphlet form by Little,
Brown & Co., and is an interesting contribution to the history of
the college.
In the Board of Overseers nothing came of this movement beyond
the minority report of a committee and the discussion thereon.
The controversy did not cease however, but was transferred to the
General Court, where it took a political turn. A political party in
a minority, struggling to oust the majority and to bring itself into
power, will always naturally join, coalesce or "fuse" with any
faction of their, adversaries, who have a side issue upon which they
may help to dislodge, disrupt or disturb the party in power. So it
was in this case. Those who were prejudiced against the college
on sectarian grounds were joined by the political minority and
together they made an attack on the "President and Fellows of
Harvard College."
That was the vital point of power because they are The Corpora-
tion, and were exclusively so in colonial and provincial days when
no other corporation existed. They take the initiative in all affairs of
the college even to the election of their own members in case of vacan-
cies, subject only to the "consent" of the Overseers whose powers
do not extend beyond making recommendations to the corporation.
Such is and has been since 1650 the division of the governing
powers in the organization of the college, applicable alike to all
1897.] The Government of Harvard College. 29
branches and schools of the University as well as to the college
proper.
Alter consideration in one form and another during several ses-
sions of the legislature, a bill was reported from a committee in
1850, that the Corporation should consist of a President and a
Treasurer and thirteen Fellows to be chosen by the legislature in
classes, each class for a term of years. No reference was made to
the Board of Overseers. The bill, however, was never passed.
In 1^51, a joint select committee on so much of the address
of the Governor as related to Harvard College, took up the subject
anew and reported a bill " to change the organization of the Board
of Overseers of the University at Cambridge." This bill provided
that the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, President of the Senate,
Speaker of the Plouse of Representatives and Secretary of the
Board of Education and the President and Treasurer of the Col-
lege should be ex-ojjicio members ; and that the thirty elective mem-
bers should be divided into six classes which should go out of office
one each year "in rotation,"' its place being supplied by ballot of the
Senators and Representatives. This was so amended as to go into
force when the Overseers and Corporation assented to the same,
and as amended was passed. It was at once assented to and became
a law. The Corporation remained as it was before.
The college has always strenuously opposed any alteration of its
organization without its consent and has successfully resisted every
such attempt by the General Court before and since the constitution
of 1780. This law was a happy compromise between contending
parties and was brought about through the conciliatory and judicious
counsel of Gov. Boutwell and others.
The material changes effected were : — the transfer of the choice
of all the Overseers from their own Board to the legislature and the
alteration of their term of office from life tenure to six years, so
that every year five were to be retired and live newly elected were
to take their places without distinction between clerical and lay
members. It was thought as the Committee suggested, that Liese
changes would "impart to the Board greater efficiency, vigor, con-
tinuity, constancy and popidarity of action, and to make of it a
more true and complete representation of the opinions, and especially
of the public will of the Commonwealth, and thus to produce all
desirable modifications in the administration of the college, without
conflicting, in the least degree, with the principles which have
induced the Committee not to recommend any change in the form
or the elements of the Corporation."
The immediate effect of the Act was to quiet controversy which
had existed many years and to prevent any further public discussion
in the legislature, of the government of the college, cither sectarian
or political ; and in this much good was accomplished. It also
made more easy the great and most important change which took
place fourteen years later.
30 The Government of Hai-vard College. [Jan.
The election of Overseers by the legislature did not meet the
expectation of the promoters of the measure. In practical opera-
tion unexpected difficulties and methods were presented, as is often
the case with untried experiments which appear well in theory but
which in practice develop serious evils.
The members of the legislature were chosen on general political
or local issues, and the election to the Board of Overseers of Harvard
College was not among them, and was not discussed during a canvass.
On coming together they suddenly found themselves called upon,
in most cases without previous knowledge or thought, to vote for
members of that Board.
There were no public nominations and no public discussions of
the qualifications of any particular persons. Each member might
vote for any citizen of the Commonwealth for whatever reason he
saw fit. Political, sectarian, personal, or other considerations than
the best interest of the college or the qualifications of the candidates,
frequently determined each voter's choice. The election was always
a hap-hazard affair. Sometimes combinations were made which
were unbecoming and tended to bring the whole system into dis-
repute. The result was often erratic. Persons sometimes were
elected who by reason of their connection with other apparently rival
institutions, were not friendly to the college or were positively hos-
tile to its success. Occasionally a prominent man was elected who
rarely attended the meetings and who took so little interest in the
position and its duties as not to know when his term of office
expired. I well remember on one occasion, when I was an Over-
seer, a distinguished rrentleman who had been elected Ions: before,
as he supposed for life, took his seat at a meeting more than a year
after he had gone out of office.
Friends of the college in and out of the legislature, looking about
for a constituency more appropriate, more interested, and better
informed on the subject, conceived the idea, suggested by the fact
that some members of the House of Commons of Great Britain are
elected by graduates of Universities, that the graduates of Harvard
would constitute the most fully equipped, most thoroughly interested
and least objectionable constituency for electing its Overseers.
A bill embodying that plan was introduced in the legislature and,
although meeting with no active opposition, for want of time, the
pressure of important business or other causes, it did not become a
law. But the plan was not abandoned.
Meanwhile, the feeling which had long existed among partizans
of other colleges increased, that Harvard had an advantage from
the prestige of its connection with the State which no other college
enjoyed, and a separation was earnestly desired.
In 1*G5, two alumni of the college were elected to the Senate,
Francis E. Parker (class of 1841) , and Darwin E. Ware (class
of 1852), who took up the matter with energy and earnestness.
.
1897.] The Government of Harvard College. 31
A bill was introduced embodying both plans ; the entire separa-
tion of the college from the state, and the election of all Overseers,
except the President and Treasurer, by the graduates. To these
two graduates, members of the Senate of 1865, especially to the
latter who drew the bill and had special charge of it, is due the
merit of bringing about the most beneficial change that has been
enacted, during the present century at least. Their bill became a
law and is the Act of 18G5, under which the college government is
now conducted.
It omits from the Board of Overseers officers of the state govern-
ment who were ex-ojjicio members and transfers the election of
all members, except the President and Treasurer of the college who
remain the only ex-officio members, to the graduates of the college
[of five years' standing] and to holders of honorary degrees
"Voting on Commencement Day in the city of Cambridge."
This legislation has been a decided and gratifying success. The
college now, being free from political and religious sectarian con-
trol, is conducted as a private corporation and gives no cause for
public controversy.
The graduates who before had no more connection with the gov-
ernment of the college, after taking their degrees, than with any
other institution, are now closely identified with it through life and
have some responsibility for its management, which they feel and
appreciate.
The present manner of nomination and election is the best that
could be adopted for securing the most competent, efficient and
practical Overseers.
The electors are a body of liberally educated and intelligent men,
of mature age, for no graduate can vote until he has been out of the
college five years, and they have some knowledge of the condition
of the University. Naturally they give the preference to graduates
and benefactors of the University, among whom are found a great
number of able and substantial men. Nominations are made with
care and deliberation in order to concentrate the minds of the elect-
ors on a limited number of candidates, and thus avoid desultory
action and scattering votes. This is done through the Alumni
Association of its own motion.
A committee is appointed to suggest names for nomination equal
to three times the number of vacancies to be filled, in addition to
the out-going Overseers, eligible for re-election, and to send to each
elector the list so selected with brief statement of the residence,
occupation, public record and previous terms of office of the persons
named, with such other information as they deem appropriate. "With
this list is also sent a ballot to be filled out and returned by the
elector, who marks the names he selects for nomination to the num-
ber of twice as many as are to be elected. On return of all the
ballots, the committee takes the names of the persons having plural-

itj to the extent of twice the number to be elected, and they are
the nominees, whose names are printed on an official ballot to be
used on Commencement Day, when the election is conducted on the
Australian plan.
A more fair and deliberate method of election can hardly be con-
ceiyed, in striking contrast to the hap-hazard way in which Over-
seers were chosen by the legislature.
It has been observed that the Overseers thus elected are more
conservative than their predecessors in adopting changes in relation
to the internal affairs of the University.
This is easily accounted for by the fact, that from near the com-
mencement of the present method of election, there has been at the head
of the Corporation and the College, a President who is alive to all
changes suggested bv modern thought in the management of educa-
tional institutions. He is wise and practical in the adoption and
introduction into the University of such as are deemed best, and
there is nothing left for the Overseers to do except to be conserva-
tive.
Thus are stated and reviewed all the changes made in the govern-
ment of the college, with the important circumstances under which
they were adopted and the general effect of each ; omitting a mass
of immaterial minutiae which would have enlarged but not improved
my article for the general reader.
Note. The late Chief Justice "Richardson wrote to the editor of the Regis-
ter while the index of the last volume was iu preparation that he had nearly
completed " a short article on • The Government of Harvard College,' showing
its organization, the changes which have taken place, the reasons for the same
and their general effect. The length of the article," he wrote, "is entirely out
of proportion to the time I have devoted to it. To condense a mass of matter
which I have hail to examine, into a short readable article on the salient points
of the subject has cost me much trouble and research."
The article when completed was received by the editor, and is here priuted.
Id a note accompanying it Judge Richardson wrote; " I am the last survivor
of those who were members of the Board of Overseers by election of both the
Legislature and the graduates of the college. Of those who were members in
18G3, when I was iirst elected, there are but two others still living."
A proof of the article was sent to Judge Richardson on the 10th of October
last. " It arrived a few days before his death," writes his son-in-law, Dr. A.
F. Ma^ruder, li was seen by him at the time, but he was too ill to correct proof."
William Adams Richardson, LL.D., the author of this article, was the second
son of Hon. Daniel and Mary (Adams) Richardson of Tyngsboro', Mass.,
where he was born Nov. 2, 1821. He was prepared for college at Groton now
Lawrence Academy, and at the time of his death was the senior trustee of that
institution. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1843, and in 184G at the
Harvard Law School! He was admitted to the Suffolk bar July 8, 1848, and
began the practice of the law in Lowell, Mass., in partnership with his elder
brother Daniel S. Richardson. From 1850 to 1859 he was associated with Judge
Joel Parker in the revision of the General Statutes of Massachusetts enacted in
1800. He was appointed Judge of Probate for Middlesex County in 1856, and
held this office till 1858, when a Court of Probate and Insolvency was established
and he was appointed the Judge for Middlesex County. In April, 1869, he was
appointed Judge of the Superior Court, but declined the honor, as he had been
appointed Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury. In 1871 he was

sent abroad to negotiate the new government loan, and vras very successful.
In 1873 he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury, and resigned the office in
June. 1674, to accept a seat ou the bench of the Court of Claims, of which
court he was appointed chief justice iu 18S5. This office he held at his death.

Dartmouth College and from three' other colleges.

■6. Jabez6 Hatch (Jabez* Josi ah* Samuel,* Walter* William1 ) was born
about 1738, possibly in Boston, though this is doubtful. Certain it
is, however, that after his second year his home was iu Boston, where
he died July 1G, 1802, aged 61. He bought out the other heirs of
his father's property on Federal (Sea) Street, where he seems to
always have lived. In April, 1772, he was appointed lieutenant of
an artillery company iu Boston with the rank of captain. April 17,
1775, he was invited by the Committee of Safety and Supplies, then
sitting at Concord, to take command of a company of artillery. In
November, 1770, he was appointed lieut.-colonel of the Boston
regiment of militia, and in June, 1777, was promoted to be colonel
-of the same. This latter position he held until March 13, 1780,
when he asked leave to resign to look after his private affairs.
Sept. 21, 1780. he was appointed Deputy Quarter-Master General
-of the United States Army, under Col. Timothy Pickering, who was
afterward in Washington's cabinet. Iu 17tS0 and 1790 he was one
of the selectmen of the town of Boston. lie was buried in Trinity

He seems to have been the first of the family to stand on the block
" with auctionary hammer in his hand," his name first appearing in
that connection in the Boston Directory of 1827 as a member of the
firm of Hatch & McCarty. 55 Congress Street. The next year he
was alone, and thus continued, except during the year 1837, when
the sign read Bagley & Hatch, and in 1839 when it was Hatch &
Fearing. He married, Jan. 23, 1825, Susan Motley Carlton, who

William1) was born in Boston. Dec. 6, 1812, and died in Boston,
Feb. 13, 1893, aged 80. In his youth he worked in the crockery
store of his brother-in-law, Johu Collamore, Jr., on Washington
Street, where, a quarter of a century later, General Nelson A. Miles
began his career. In 1836 he took out a license as auctioneer, and
for fifty-seven years he continued active in this business. At first
he was located at 69 Congress Street, but the next year moved to
31 Washington Street, opposite Milk Street. From 1840 to
1843 he was at 56 Milk Street, and after that for many years
on Water Street. In 1868 he moved to 3 Morton Place (now
part of Arch Street), where he remained until burnt out by the big
fire of 1872. For a few months he was at the corner of Court and
Washington Streets, but in 1873 moved into the Traveller Building
on Congress Street, at the corner of State Street. At the latter
place he remained until his death. From 1840 to 1851 Edward D.
Clark was associated with him, the firm being Hatch & Clark.
Au interesting chapter might be written about the estates that
Colonel Hatch, as he was always called, has sold. The most in-
teresting was the old Hancock House on Beacon Street, sold June
16, 1863, at one o'clock, to be removed in ten days. The same
day (a grim reminder of the war) he sold the machinery, tools, etc.,
in the building on Clarendon Street, "lately used for the manu-
facture of bullets." April 9, 18G8, he disposed of the Church
Green property on Summer Street, by auction. May 21, 1874, the
old Brattle Square Church; and seven years later (May 9, 1881)
the new Brattle Square Church, built in 1871 and 1872, ou Com-
monwealth Avenue; Sept. 14, 1<*81, the English High and Latin
School building lot on Bedford Street; the Hollis Street Church,
May 24, 1883. He advertised the Old South Meeting House to be
sold June 8, 1876, to be removed in sixty days, but public spirit
fortunately prevented the sale.
Colonel Hatch was a courtly gentleman of the old school, and the
very soul of honor. He had a genial countenance, a strong, musical
voice, and a commanding figure. He was a member of the Suffolk
Club, of the Bostoniau Society, of the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company, and a 33d degree Mason, member of the Winslow
Lewis Lodge and of the De Molay Commandery, Knights Templar.
From 1853 to 1856, inclusive, he was in the Common Council; in
1857, 1858, 1861, a member of the Board of Aldermen; and in
1858 and 1859 in the Legislature. He married, Oct. 13, 1835,
Lydia, daughter of Capt. Samuel Cook (1784-1876), of Salem.
She was born April 11, 1811, and died Nov. 16, 1^64. They had
one son, William Edward, who died Jan. 19, 1848, aged one year
and six months.

1897.] Portsmouth, J5T. H., Inhabitants, 1711. 43
PORTSMOUTH, X. H., INHABITANTS, 1711.
By Geo. A. Gordon, A.M.
The common lands at Portsmouth, extending from Hampton
bounds to the Great Bay, were considered to be the property of such
as were inhabitants up to the year 1657. In 1660, the town author-
ized the selectmen to distribute six hundred acres to the old planters .
The selectmen were then prohibited from further granting and a
committee appointed who distributed nearly five thousand acres of
land to such as were reputed inhabitants ; to all sons of those
mentioned as were of the age of 21 years ; to all daughters of
the same as were of the age of 18 years. A list of the persons
sharing in this distribution is given by Brewster in his Rambles
about Portsmouth, vol. i., p. 27. The same author gives in the
same volume, p. 63, a list of pew holders in the meeting-house in
1693. The following list of inhabitants entitled to share in the
distribution of the commons of Portsmouth, in 1711, is copied from
vol. xiii., fol. 161, of the Pockingham Pegistry of Deeds, at
Exeter, N. H. As supplementary to the earlier lists, it will be
found of value in personal and family researches.

ELDREDGE GENEALOGY.
By Zoeth S. Eldkedge, Esq., of San Francisco, Cal.
The name of Eldredge, or as it was originally written, Eldred, is Saxon.
Eldred was the name of several kings of the Saxons in the eighth and
ninth centuries. Eldred was King of Chester, A.D., 951. An Eldred was
Saxon Archbishop of York (and Canterbury) in 1066 and according to
the historian Thiery cursed William the Conqueror. The Eldreds were
holders of lands in Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Gloucester, Shropshire,
Yorkshire and other counties at the time of the Domesday survey (A.D.
1085) and prior thereto, in the time of Edward the Confessor.
John Eldred, of Great Saxham, in Suffolk, descended from an ancient
family claiming Saxon origin. Tradition says that he purchased the Great
Saxham estates because of his belief that his ancestors, in remote ages, as
Saxon kings, had held the Saxhams as their great Saxon home.
He was born in 1552 and died in 1632. He was a great traveler and
his ships and merchandise went to all parts of the world. He was one of
the founders of Virginia and from 2 COO to 1624 was a member of His
Majesty's Council for the Virginia Company of London. The brass to
"John Eldred the Navigator," at Great Saxham, has the arms of the
East India Merchants, the Levant or Turkey Merchants and the Russia
Merchants Companies. He left four sons and two daughters. Thomas
Lee, of Coton, in Shropshire (the seat of Launcelot Lee, Esq.) married
Dorothy, granddaughter of John Eldred.
The Pilgrims who came to America in the Mayflower, in 1620, obtained
a patent from the London Company and though contrary winds carried
them northward to Cape Cod. they had intended to plant their Colony in
" Virginia," near the mouth of the' Hudson River.
1897.] Eldredge Genealogy. 47
As John Eldred of Great Saxhara was at that time and for fifteen years,
a director of the Virginia Company of London, it is possible that the
Eldreds who appeared in New England between the years 1635 and
1645, viz: William, Robert, Samuel, John and Nathaniel, were in some
way connected with his family.
1. William Eldred of Yarmouth.
William Eldred is known to have been a resident of Yarmouth from March
3, 1645, to 16G7. It is thought that William of Yarmouth, Robert of Yar-
mouth and Monomoy and Samuel of Cambridge and Stonington, were broth-
ers, and that they came from England about 1635. They all appear to have
been mill of standing and substance. William was appointed constable in
Yarmouth in 1057, 1662, 1674, 1675 and 1677. He was also surveyor of
highways. He married Anne, daughter of William and Tamesin Lump-
kin, of Yarmouth. Lumpkin came over in 1637. He was a deputy to
the Colony Court and held many of the local offices.
As the Yarmouth records were destroyed by fire in 1674, my account of
William and his children is brief. Anne, his wife, was buried Nov. 1,
1C7C. The known children of William were:
i. Anne,2 b. in Yarmouth, Dec. 16, 1G48.
ii. Sarah, b. in Yarmouth, Oct. 10, 1650.
2. iii. Elisha, b. 1653.
iv. Betiiia.
In addition to these, the following are believed to have been his
children:
V. Jehosaphat, d. 1732. His wife was Elizabeth. Children: Ed-
ward, b. in Chatham, July 17, 1702 (m. Mary , and d.
1730, leaving two children, Mary and Anne), Nathaniel, Elisha,
Elnathan, Ebenezer, Barnabas and Elizabeth.
vi. Samuel, m. Keziah Taylor. Eight children.
vii. John.
2. Elisha2 Eldred (William1), born in 1653, died in Eastham (Well-
fleet) Oct. 14, 1739, and is buried in the old graveyard at the head
of Duck Creek, where a stone marks the spot. His name on the
gravestone is spelled Eldredg. William Lumpkin, the father-in-law
of William Eldred, in his will dated 23 July, 1668, names wife
Tamesin; daughter Tamesin, wife of John Sunderling; and grand-
children William Gray, Elisha Eldred and Bethia Eldred. In
1693 Elisha Eldredg was in Harwich where he, with Joseph Sever-
ance and Manoah Ellis, bought a tract of land of Joseph Crook, an
Indian. He resided in the south part of the town in what is some-
times denominated the Doane neighborhood. He afterwards sold
his interest in the above land to I^aac Atkins and removed to that
part of Eastham which subsequently became the town of Wellfleet.
It is not known who his wife was. His son Elisha Eldredge, Jr.,
was active in church work and was opposed to the preaching of
Mr. Oakes.
3. Elisha* Eldredge (Elisha,7 William1), born about 1690, died in
Mansfield, Ct., Nov. 9, 1754, married Dorcas, daughter of Thomas
Mulford, of Truro. She was born in Eastham, March 6, 1692-3,
and died in Mansfield, Ct., about 1755. Her mother was Mary,
48 JEldredge Genealogy, [Jan.
daughter of Nathaniel Basset and granddaughter of "William Basset
who came in the ship " Fortune " in 1621. Elisha was probably-
married in Truro and his son Mulford was born there, but by 1715
he was living again in East ham, and about 1741 he removed to
Mansfield, Ct. Owing to the church troubles at Billingsgate (East-
ham), he had himself and children baptized in Truro, in 1727, where
he is on the church records as ''Elisha Eldredge Jr. of Eastham."
He and his wife Dorcas were admitted to the church at South Mans-
field, by letter, June 21, 1741. In his will, dated Dec. 12, 1751,
and proved Nov. 23, 1754, he provides for the four sons and five
daughters named below and signs his name EltsJia Eldredge. This
spelling of the name has been adhered to by most of his descend-
ants. His wife Dorcas, who is named in the will, was dead in 1756
when the estate was distributed.

5. Zoeth5 Eldredge (Jesse* EUsha? Elisha^ William1), born, it is
supposed, in Willington, Ct., about 1751; died in Willington, March
18, 1828. He married first, in Willington, Aug. 6, 1771. Elizabeth,
daughter of Timothy and Dinah Pearl. She was born in Willing-
ton, Jan. 15, 1756; died Jan. 8, 1779. He married second, in
Willington, Oct. 16, 1779, Bethia, daughter of Capt. Ichabod Plinck-
ley, of Tolland. She was born in Tolland, Dec. 10, 1759, and
died iu Willington, June 17, 1850. She was a descendant of Samuel
Hinckley, Rev. John Lothrop, Roger Goodspeed, Dolar Davis and
Robert Lynnell. Her father. Captain Hinckley, was adjutant of the
company of Minute-Men in the. Lexiugtou alarm and afterwards
a lieutenant and captain in the Continental army.
Zoeth Eldredge was a farmer and a soldier of the Revolution.
The Minute-Men who sprang to arms at the sound of the Lexing-
ton alarm were regularly organized aud equipped militia, enrolled
by authority of the Assembly or Provincial Congress and were
subject to the call of the Committee of Safety. Citizens of every
calling appeared in the ranks of these " alarm companies." To be
a private in them was proclaimed to be an honor; to be chosen to
office in them, a mark of the highest distinction.*
In company with the other Connecticut towns, Willington re-
sponded quickly to the call of April 19, 1775, and almost before the
British troops had accomplished their retreat from Lexington a
gallant little band of farmer soldiers were on the road to Boston.
The company was under the command of Maj. Elijah Fenton and
Zoeth Eldredge marched — a private — in the ranks. The service of
the Minute-Men was brief and upon their dismissal Zoeth Eldredge
enlisted iu the Second Connecticut Regiment, Col. Joseph Spencer,
serving as a private in the Fifth Company under Capt. Solomon
Willes from about May 1st until the regiment was dismissed in the
latter part of December, 1775. This regiment was at Roxbury
and served during the siege of Boston; detachments of officers
and men engaged at the battle of Bunker Hill and in Arnold's
Quebec expedition, September-December, 1775. He also saw
three months' service under Washington iu New York City. There
he was taken sick with camp fever and was sent with several of his
comrades to the hospital at Stamford, Ct., just before the retreat
from the city began. His regiment was the Twenty-second Connecti-
cut militia, Col. Samuel Chapman, and his company commander was
Capt. Joseph Parsons.

v. Elijah, b. Dec. 26, 1778. When he was twenty years old he went
to Boston and shipped on board the "Pickering," a vessel bound
for the West Indies and a " swift runner." She sailed about
Feb. 15, 1799. The vessel proved to be a pirate and Elijah was
never heard of again. He was a young man of sterling cnarac-
ter, and his friends never doubted but that he chose the alterna-
tive of walking the plank rather than join the murderous crew.

MARRIAGES IX NANTUCKET. 1717-1777.
Communicated by Otis G. Hammond, Esq., of Concord, N. H.
I send herewith, for publication in the Register, a copy of some
ancient marriage records of Nantucket, Mass., which I have taken
from an old account book now in possession of the New Hampshire
Historical Society. This book was presented to the society by Rev.
Howard P. Hill, of Concord, N. H., June 14, 1871. It was kept
by George and Caleb Bunker, of Nantucket, daring the greater part
of the 18th century, and is filled principally with ordinary mer-
chants' accounts of no particular value. But the two Bunkers were
also justices of the peace and recorded the marriages performed by
them in the same book with their accounts.
George Bunker's entries begin March 5, 1717, and continue un-
til Nov. 22, 1741, a period of twenty-four years and a little more
than eight months, during which time he performed and recorded
sixty- four marriages. From the last date until Jan. 2, 1765, there
are no records. Then Caleb Bunker's entries begin and continue
until June 8, 1777, a period of twelve years and five months, dur-
ing which time fifty marriages are recorded. So that the whole time
actually covered by these records is thirty-seven years, and the total
number of marriage records found is one hundred and fourteen.
The book also contains judicial proceedings before George Bun-
ker, as justice of the peace, from Aug. 7, 1718, to April 7, 1726,
and before Caleb Bunker from Oct. 13, 1763, to Jan. 18, 1775.
These records consist principally of trials for petty misdemeanors
and the administering of oaths of office to town officers of Nantucket.
I send you these records for publication, as I know they must be
of great value to the people of Nantucket and to all who trace their
8
1897.1 Marriages in Nantucket. 55
o-enealogy back to that ancient and honorable town ; and because in
Vol. 7 of the Register there are already published some Nantucket
births, marriages, and deaths ante-dating these entries, among which
arc recorded the births of many of the people whom George and
Caleb Bunker joined in matrimony, and whose names are entered in
this old account book.
The credit for the re-discovery of these records belongs to Hon.
Ezra S. Stearns, Secretary of the State of New Hampshire, who
called my attention to them a few months ago, while we, as members
of a committee, were examining the manuscripts belonging to the
Historical Society.

THE FIRST SAMBORNES OF HAMPTON, N. H.
By V. C. Sanborn, Esq., of LaGrange, Ills.
No adequate genealogy of the American Sanborns has yet been pub-
lished. Dr. Nathan Sanborn's paper in the Register for 1856 (reprinted
in pamphlet form) is generous in name3 and dates, but deficient in detail.
In the Register for 1885 I printed an article about the English Sam-
bornes, and have since amplified the line and printed a short genealogy
of them with notes as to our probable connection.
This article aims to give all data obtainable as to the first generation in
America. It is compiled from the Hampton Town and Church Records,
Norfolk County files, Massachusetts and New Hampshire archives, Rock-
ingham County Probate Records, and the printed and manuscript Sanborn
family records.
John, William and Stephen Samborne (for so they spelt the name)
were sons of an English Samborne (presumably named John) and Anne,
daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, that "notorious inconformist " of Wher-
well. and Newton Stacy, Hants, and Hampton in New Hampshire. In the
English Samborne family are several members either of whom may have
been the husband of Anne Bachiler. Rev. James Samborne of Cpper
Clatford, Hants, the next parish to Wherwell, like Stephen Bachiler, was
an Oxford man and a Puritan ; he may have been a connection of our John
Sarnborne. In Basingstoke, Hants, near Wherwell, we find a John Sam-
borne, Sergf-at-M"ace in 1641. In Cholsey, Berks, twenty miles north of
Wherwell, Richard Samborne had three children: Richard, b. 1589,- John,
of whom we find no further record, aud Anne, b. 1597. Peter Samborne
of London Bridge, goldsmith, had son Markley, b. about 1600.
vol. li. 6
58 The First Sambornes of Hampton, iV. H, [Jan.
Aim Bachiler's husband died about 1630, for Mr. Waters printed in
Register, July, 1891, the following extract from ''Licenses to Pass beyond
Seas."
" xxvj Junii 1631 : Steephen Bachillcr aged 70 yeres resident at South Ston-
bam, South1 & uxor Hellen. of age xlviij yeres, vrss mushing to visit their sons
and daughters there; & so to return w,th in two moneths. Ann Sandburn of age
30 yeres, icidoive, resident in ye Straud, Vss vlishing."
The three sons of Anne Samborne are said to have come to America
with their grandfather Bachiler in 1 632, but apparently their mother did
not come over; nor have we any trace of the three sous until 1639 in
Hampton.
1. Lieut. John Samborne, born 1620 (Deposition in Norf. Co. Files).
Probably in Hampton in 1640, since he was then granted a house-lot and a
tract of laud there. In 1643 his name is signed to a Hampton petition;
and from this date the records contain frequent mention of him.
23rd 3rd mo. 1645 (Norf. Co. Deeds I), John Samborne of Hampton sells
to Thos. Marston, " for a valuable consideration, fower acres of fresh marsh,
bounded by the salt marsh of Johu Cram, now in the hands of Rodger Shaw;
by that of Wm Marston ; by the upland of John Samborne, a highway to
the north." Wituess, Jos: Mason, Humphrey Humber. Abraham Pirkins.
December 23, 1645, two shares of the Common were granted to John
Samborne. His house iu Hampton was next to that of Stephen Bachiler,
across the road from Meeting House Green, and nearly opposite the old
meeting house.
In 1647 Rev. Stephen Bachiler left Hampton, and on April 20, 1647
(Rock. Co. Reg., xiii., 221), he conveyed ''all his remaining estate in Hamp-
ton, including all grants not appointed, to his grandson John Samborne, he
to pay the other three grandchildren, Nath1 Bachiler, Will : Samborne and
Steven Samborne, £20 apiece." On the same date (Norf. Co. Deeds ii.,
178), John Samborne doth "seale, signe and set over to Willi: Samborne
6 acres of upland, lying between the land of John Samborne & Chr : Hus-
sey; 5 acres of fresh meadow; one share of all ye Comons except ye great
Ox Comon, for the just som of £13, wfh is in consideration of a £20. leg-
acy given to the said William Samborne by his grandfather, under his own
hand & seale, by virtue of an assignment unto the s'1 John Samborne," who
also promises to pay the other £7 within a certain time. Witnesses Wm
Fifield, Tho. Warde. 1st 12th mo. 1647 (Norf. Co. Deeds, ii., 97), conveys
to Wm Samborne " 6 acres meadow and 6 acres upland, wch was formerly
given to Wm Samborne by Mr Steven Bachiler Senr late of Hampton, but
no legal conveyance made, since it was included in a general conveyance to
me." Signed John Samborne " wth a seale to itt." Witness, Chr. Hussey,
(T) mark of Abr. Tilton.
At Hampton Court, 26th 7th mo. 164S, John Samborne was plaintiff in
an action for trespass against Robert Lord, but was nonsuited, and defend-
ant allowed 10s. 6d. for unjust molestation.
«, 24th 2nd mo. 1649, John Samborne was on the " Jury of Tryalls " at Salis-
bury Court. In 1650 he was one of the Hampton selectmen. 9th 2nd mo.
1650, he sued Walter Abbott at Salisbury Court for debt of £5. 7. 6 due
for bill assigned to him by Mr Steven Bachiller. At Hampton Court, 3rd
8th mo. 1650, he, Mr Hussey & Tho. Chase were released from bond they
gave for Edw. Colcord's appearance.*
* Colcord was a friend or relative of the Bachilers and Sambornes ; for fall account of
him sec N. II. Prov. Papers, Vol. I.
1807.] The First Sambornes of Hampton , J\T. H. 59
In 1651, on petition from Hampton, the General Court (Mass. Col. Rec,
iii., 253; iv. 67) orders John Samborne & Edw. Colcord to return to their
owners until they should exhibit some proper power of attorney, all goods
&e. taken by them on pretence of being authorized by Rev. Stephen Bach-
iler.
January, 1654, John Samborne and Win. Estow were appointed " to view
the upland and medow on this side Strawberry Bank bounds, to ascertain
who were the proprietors and what their titles were." [n this year Chris-
topher Hussey and John Samborne alone in Hampton refused to withdraw
their petition to remit Lieut. Pike's fine ; and were fined £10 apiece them-
selves. Pike had spoken slightingly of the Massachusetts authorities for for-
bidding an un-ordained mau to hold religious services where there was no
settled pastor; for this a heavy fine had been imposed on him, which his
neighbors in Hampton, etc. petitioned to have remitted. But the authorities
so persecuted the petitioners that most of them apologized and withdrew
their petitions. (Mass. Col. Rec. Hi., 367 : iv., 215.)
February 2, 1657, John Samborne was chosen a Selectman, but exempted.
March 30, 1657, he was appointed on a committee to see to the building of
a house for Rev. Mr. Cotton.
His familiarity with the town records and boundaries led to his being
chosen on all committees to examine old grants, or to establish boundary-
lines. Thus in 1651, and again in 1658, he was chosen on a committee to
"join with the Town Clerk to examine all the grants and appointments of
lands, highways and the like ; and to perfect the same in the Town Book."
In 1661 John Samborne was again a selectman, and ou March 16 it was
voted " that Thos. Marston and Willi : Moulton shall join wth John Sam-
borne to hire tbe preseut schoolmaster* for another year, pvided they
shall not exceed the som of £26. for his year's wages, nor he be more difficult
in his pay than last year."
In 1663 he was chosen on committees to examine the allotment of the
commonage, and to lay out the " New Plantation."
April 12, 1661, at Salisbury Court he was foremau of the "Jury of
Tryalls." At Hampton Court, October 1664, it was voted, — "Whereas
John Samborne was legally chosen by the Military Company at Hampton
to be their ensign, — it appearing to this Corte that he is not yet a free-
man, referred to the Gen1J Corte for confirmation."
Selectman again in 1665, — on June 20, he, " with Sam11 Dalton, Town
Clerk, and Mr Seaborne Cotton the Pastor was chosen to express to the
Com" in writing the views of the people of Hampton and to assert their
rights in the lands claimed by Mason."
May, 1666, John Samborne was made a freeman (Mass. Col. Rec. iv.,
•367). ^ L, 1666, 1667 and 1600 "Mr John Samborne (also called Ensign)
witli C.ipt. Chr. Hussey and Mr Sam11 Dalton were chosen and ratified by
the Court as commissioners of small causes for the town of Hampton."
Selectman again in 1G68; in 1669 chosen as Agent by the town of
Hampton in the boundary dispute with Portsmouth. Also appointed to
look into the question of Exeter bounds. In 1670, sells to Samuel Tilton
for i!26. five acres of salt marsh on the south side of the Falls River.
Chosen Selectman in 1671, and appointed a " Commissioner in behalf of
the country, to work with the Selectmen in making the Country Rate for the
next six: months according to law."

60 The First Sambomes of Hampton, J\r. H. [Jan.
"April 25, 1672, Capt. Hussey, Ensign John Satnborne and Mr Dalton
were appoiuted to treat with Mr Dudley and Mr John Oilman to issue
all differences betwixt the inhabitants of Hampton & Exeter concerning
land, pvided that the said Mr Dudley & Mr Gilmau shall procure the like
power from the town of Exeter."
Selectman iu 1674-5, 167S-9. At Salisbury Court Nov. 14, 1676, John
Samborne was Foreman of the Grand Jury. As Ensign of the Hampton
Company iu 1677, he signed a petition to Maj. Gen. Deuisou, asking for
help. Commissioned Lieutenantof Hampton forces October 15, 1679 (Mass.
Col. Rec. v., 252).
When Charles II. decided to make New Hampshire a Royal Province in
1679, Sir W. Warren wrote to the Lords of Trade that in Hampton the
men most eminent and best qualified for His Majesty's Council were Sam1.
Dalton, Capt. Hussey, John Samborne & Nath1 Wyer (State Papers,
Colonial, 1670-80).
In the Cranfield and Mason persecutions we find that John Samborne
suffered : —
ii Y?m Y[Qe\d &C depose that in Oct 1G84 being at John Samborne Senr'»
house, when Robert Mason, Sherlock the Marshall and James Leach came to give
Mason possession, — when Samborne not opening the door, Leach broke it open
:and Sherlock took Samborne prisoner, when Mason told the people openly, —
This is what you shall all come to " (N. II. Prov. Papers, i., 539).
Also in Capt. Henry Dow's diary we find, — "Bro Sambourn put in
prison, 21 Oct. 1684. Capt. Sherburne & I compared a copie with the
original execution; & there was no return made upon it the 1st Nov.
1684."
John Samborne's signature appears on the petition against Cranfield in
1685. In this year he was a Representative. — " At a meeting of the free
holders of Hampton, Sept 24 1685, Mr Nath11 Weare, Lt. John Samborne
and Nath11 Bachiler Senr were chosen to serve iu the next General Assem-
bly" (Register, vi. 5C).
Dow's " History of Hampton " says he served as Lieutenant in King
William's War, 1689. In 1690 he was appointed on a committee to wait
on Mr Pike the new minister. He died Oct. 20, 1692 : his will is not ex-
tant, the closing words only remaining in an old copy at Exeter: —
"And for the confirmation of all above written. I the aboue sayd John
Samborne Senr have hereunto sett my hand & affixt my seale this 10th
day of October iu the yeare of our Lorde 1692 &c

2. "William SamboPwNe, born about 1622. His is the earliest Sam-
borne record I find at Hampton, — "Nov. 27, 1639, Willi: Samborne (wth
his consent) is appointed to ring the bell before meetings on the Lord's
days & other days, for wcl1 he is to have 6d. pr. lott of eury one hauing a
lotte wthin the towne."
In June, 1640, a house lot was granted him on the road towards the sea,
southwest of his brother John's. He was selectman of Hampton 1651,
1660, 1667, 1671, 1677, 1683. Not so prominent as his older brother,
but often chosen on town committees. Savage says he was Representa-
tive, but I have found no record of it.
Served in King Philip's War. (Regtstrr, xliii., 273.)
May 17, 1647, Wm Samborne sold to Serg' Thos. Phiibrick for £24 his
house aud houselot between those of Wm Fifield & John Brown, 3 acres
fresh marsh, and 3 acres upland; 1 share in cow comon (Norf. Deeds, i., 4).
The will of John Moulton (Norf. Deeds, i., 12), dated 23rd 1st mo. 1649,
proved 8th 1st mo. 1650, divides 12 acres between Samborne & dau. Ann:
to son Samborne 10 acres salt marsh wch is yet to lie appointed; & 4
acres salt marsh.
At Hampton Court. 8th 8th mo. 1651, Wm Samborne took ye freeman's oath.
April 18, 1664, Ann Moulton for divers good causes conveys 2 acres to
Will: Samborne (Norf. Deeds, ii., 96).
Thos. Phiibrick for £35. sells to Wm Samborne 10 acres salt marsh,
Oct. 13, 1665 (Norf. Deeds, ii., 96). June 10, 1667, Nath11 Boulter of
Hampton nominates "my louing friend Mr Will: Samborne of Hampton
as a feoffee in trust " for John and Hannah Souter (Norf. Deeds, ii., 116).
Aug. 22, 1668, Thos. Phiibrick k' for valuable consideration" conveys to
Wm Samborne " 3 acres of upland in the East field wch I sometime bought
of sd Wm Samborne" (Norf. Deeds, ii., 172). Mar. 31, 1673, John
flulsham of Exeter conveys to Wm Samborne 30 acres in Hampton abut-
ting on Exeter bounds.
At Salisbury Court, 14th 9th mo. 1676, Wm Samborne took the oath for
a Constable. He died Nov. 18, 1692. Only a fragment of his will is pre-
served in the old book of copies at Exeter; he leaves to his wife Mary
certain yearly allowances, and oue half of his house. To son Josiah 50
acres "in the plaine towards Exeter" and some salt marsh and common-
age. To son William "a share in the great ox common & oue cowe he
hauing the reste of " To son Mephibosheth, 9 acres near his house,
\ share of commonage, 8 acres of upland and 25 acres towards Exeter;
also certain other land " after my wife's decease." To son Steuen my house,
barne, orchard, 10 acres of salt marsh, | share of commonage &c. Doubt-
less the rest of the will dealt with bequests to daughters, but this is all
that is left.
" An Inventory of the Estate of William Samborne late off Hampton, de-
ceased the 18 of November 1692."

SIR RICHARD SALTOXSTALL'S LETTER TO GOV.
JOHN WINTHROP, JR., OF CONNECTICUT.
Communicated by Mrs. Lucy Hall Greenlaw, of Cambridge.
The following was copied from an original letter now owned by
a descendant of Sir Richard Saltonstall, Mrs. Page M. Baker, of
New Orleans, La. There are two similar original letters from Sal-
tonstall to Gov. Winthrop, one of which differs in date, the other
is without date ; both also differ slightly in spelling, capitalization
and punctuation. One of these has been handed down in the Win-
throp family and is now owned by Robert C. Winthrop, jr., Esq., of
Boston. It is dated at " Whitefreyers, the 27th ffebruary 1635"
which is over a month earlier than the date of this letter — March
30, 1636. It has been printed in the Collections of the Massachu-
setts Historical Society, fourth series, volume 6, page 579 ; also in
the second edition of Dr. Henry R. Stiles's History of Windsor,
66 SaltonstalV s Letter to Gov. Winthrop. [Jan.
Conn., page 45, and in his Stiles Genealogy, page 728. The other
is in the possession of Richard M. Saltonstall, Esq., of Boston,
and has been printed in the Collections of the Massachusetts Histo-
rical Society, second series, volume 8, page 42, also in the first
edition of Dr. Stiles's Windsor, page 843. A careful comparison
of the three orignal letters has shown beyond doubt that they are
all genuine, each bearing the seal and the well known signature
of Sir Richard Saltonstall.

GERRISH FAMILY BIBLE RECORD.
Copied by Mrs. LrcY Hall Greenlaw, of Cambridge, Mass.
The following record is copied from a family bible now in the
possession of William Gerrish of Chelsea. He has presented to this
Society a photographic facsimile of the record. The entries to and
including the birth of Paul Gerrish, Aug. 18, 1688, are in the
handwriting of John Gerrish of Dover, N. II. The remaining entries
are in that of his son Timothy of Dover.
A record of the Gerrish family of Dover, by the late Rev. Alonzo
H. Quint, D.D., is printed in the Register, vol. vi., pp. 258-9.
This record corrects the date of John Gerrish's birth, and adds
names and dates to the Gerrish and also to the Elliott family : —

A LOCAL SCANDAL.
By Hon. Samuel A. Green*, LL.D., of Boston, Mass.
TilE two following papers are found among the Shattuck manu-
scripts belonging to the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society, and refer probably to some local gossip or scandal at Water-
town. All the persons therein mentioned had previously lived
there, but at the date of the writing Lawrence, Ong, Shattuck and
Whitney were residents of Groton, and among the earliest settlers
of the town. Jonathan Phillips was son of the first minister of
Watertowu, and John Sherman was the third minister of the same
town.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
Alden, Hosians, Jones.— Dr. Ebenezer Alden, in his Alden Memorial, states
that Elizabeth Alden (95) was daughter of Nathaniel (39), granddaughter of
Nathaniel (13), and second wife of Capt. John Homans of Dorchester. All
of these statements are incorrect. Elizabeth Alden was daughter of Nathaniel
(35) and granddaughter of John (10). She married Anthony Jones of Hopkin-
ton.
Capt. John Homans's first wife, Hannah (Osborne), died June 15, 1747. They
were married May 24. 1725, at Bristol, R. I., by Rev. Nathaniel Cotton. He
married second. Nov. 23, 1748, Rebecca Gray. She was born Jan. 2, 1731, was
daughter of Joseph Gray of Boston, and died Dec. 12, 1777. On Dorchester
records Rebecca appears as mother of all the children who are given by Dr. Al-
den as issue of Elizabeth Alden.
Anthony Jones was son of John and Elizabeth (Simpson) Jones. He was
born June 8, 1723. married Feb. 9, 1747, Elizabeth Alden, and died Aprils, 1782,
aged 59 years. She died 1783, in her 54th year. Their children, all baptized
in Hopkinton, were: Nathaniel Alden, bapt. Aug. 21, 1748, m. Lois Claflinj
Hannah, bapt. Dec. 31, 1749 or '50; Elizabeth, bapt. Dec. 27, 1750; Anthony,

May 13, 1770; Simpson, bapt. Sept. 13, 1772.
In 1736, Edward Tyng, Temple Nelson and Nathaniel Alden petitioned the
General Court for " a Grant of a Tract of province Land for themselves and the
other heirs of their Respective fathers," Col. Edward Tyng, John Nelson, Esq.,
aud Capt. John Alden, all deceased, " in consideration of the Great Charge and
Sufferings of their said Fathers in a long Captivity in France being in the
Service of the province when taken." Capt. John Alden's heirs appointed,
April 15, 1736, Col. John Jones of Hopkinton their attorney to prosecute this
claim against the Province. In 1764 he succeeded in obtaining a grant of 400
acres, the proceeds of which were divided among the Alden heirs in 1786. Re-
ceipts were given in the settlement of this grant for all shares excepting one
third of William Alden's (12) part, amounting to £8. 14s. 5£d. William Valen-
tine, administrator of the estate of Elizabeth (Alden) Jones (widow of An-
thony), received £13. Is. 8d. as her share, "it being the fourth part of the
share of John Alden C10J son of the said John Alden" (2). This receipt does
not give the name of her father, but as Samuel and Anna Burrill received one
half (£26. 3s. 4d.) of John Alden's (10) share, and Michael Homer received the
remaining fourth (£13. Is. 8d.), " it being the fourth part of the share of John
Alden (10), son of the said John Alden (2) and one half of the full share which
Nathanial Alden was hcier to," her part must have been the other half of Na-
thaniel Alden's share. C. H. Wight.

70 Notes and Queries. [Jan.
Lydia Eliot, the Kleptomaniac. — English aud American newspapers have
recently contained many articles in regard to a notorious case of kleptomania,
so-called, which is defined a morbid impulse or desire to steal. An early in-
stance of this idiosyncrasy in New England is minutely mentioued in the
records of the Roxbury (Mass.) Church, as follows : —
" Anno 1655.
26d, 6m. Lydia Eliot being convict of theft & lying & pride, all wch became
famous & notorious she was cast out of ye Church. Her theift was ye taking
away of lace from one shop in Boston, & ncer ye space of a year after, stealing
away a Titfany Hood out of another shop, and being charged wto these things
by ye Owners, she denyed yra agn & againe, but afterwd was found out & made
restitution. (She stole also a skaine of yarn of halfe a pound, wch was found
out after her excomunication.)
2d. 9m 165G. Lydia Eliot upon her humiliation & repentance was received
againe & ye Church confirmed their love to her."
P. 252, Roxbury Church Records.
The Roxbury Church members would have been aghast at the long, high-
sounding name, kleptomania, but they knew what it was to be a thief, and acted
accordingly. Although their treatment of the case was different from that now
thought appropriate, it was successful.
Who was this Lydia Eliot? John Eliot, "the Apostle," had a sister and a
niece of this name.
His sister Lydia was baptized at Nazeing, Essex, Eng., as Lidia Eleot, July
1st, 1610. She became the wife of James Peuniman of Boston, Mass., before
1633, who died in 1664. In 1665 she was married to Thomas Wight of Dedham
(his second wife). Her will was proved in 1676. She could not have been the
kleptomaniac, as at the time of the accusation and the discipline she was Lydia
(Eliot) Peuniman.
The neice, Lydia Eliot, was the daughter of Deacon Philip Eliot (deacon in
his brother's church at Roxbury). Her baptism appears in the Nazeing Church
Records, thus:— "1631. Lede'Eliot, daughter of Philip Eliot, 12 June." Un-
der the date, " 4m. 20d. 1652," it appears in the Roxbury Church Records that
"Lydia Eliot, daughter to Deacon Eliot confirmed. Since dismissed to ye
Church at Taunton, Anno 1666." She is mentioned in the will of her father,
Philip, made " 21. 8. 1657," to whom he gives £60. The record of Lydia, the
niece, hardly warrants the conclusion that she was the guilty one, though this
may have been. Insanity may have been in the family. Her cousin Benjamin,
son of the Apostle, Judge Sewall found " much touched as to his understand-
ing," for which assertion he gives illustrations.
But there may have been more than two Lydia Eliots, or a servant may have
assumed this surname; not an uncommon practice in some of the early settle-
ments of this country.

Breck. — In the " Genealogy of the Breck Family," by Samuel Breck, U.S.A.,
the author assumes that the first of the Sherboru branch of the family was
Thomas' Breck; and that Elinor Breck, who married Benjamin Crane in 1656,
was the daughter of Edward1 Breck, the head of the Dorchester branch. That
these assumptions are erroneous is proved by the following deed : May 24,
1724, Thomas Jones of Holliston and John Richardson of Medway deed to
John Breck of Sherborn their right in certain divisions of lauds iu Sherborn
laid out in the right of John and Thomas Breck. late of Sherborn, deceased,
and in the risiht of John Breck Senior, late of Sherborn, deceased; Jones and
Richardson having bought their above right from the heirs of Elinor Crane of
Stow, deceased, ''the natural sister of John Breck, deceased." (Middlesex
Deeds, Vol. 27, folio 111.)
The above deed shows that the first Breck of the Sherborn branch was John1
Breck, senior. He died January 3. 1660, and his death was recorded at Med-
field, as Sherborn was not then incorporated as a town. He was probably
brother of Edward1 Breck of Dorchester. His children were :
1. John2 Breck of Sherborn, who died Aug. 20, 1690. He was evidently un-
married. His brother Thomas administered his estate, which was inherited by
his brother and sister.
2. Thomas2 Breck of Sherborn. He m. at Dorchester, Feb. 12, 1G56, Mary,
dau. of John Hill. He d. at Sherborn, April 23, 1703 (in the Breck Genealogy
this date is wrongly driven as April 3, 1723), and the settlement of his estate
shows that he left the following children : John Breck (the grantee of the
above deed) ; Mary, still unmarried iu 1721; Sarah, m. Eleazer Hill; Susanna,
m. John Adams; Bethia, m. Joseph Daniels; Hannah; Samuel, d. unmarried;
Esther, m. John Richardson.

Queries.
"Williams. — Nathaniel Williams, from the vicinity of Norwich or New Lon-
don, Conu., moved to Herkimer Co., New York, and in 1794 was one of nine
men that bought Lot No. 5 in Henderson's patent. This Nathaniel Williams is
said to have married his wife Dimmis before going to Herkimer Co.
Five children were born there: Freclove, William, Lodowick, Nabbe and
Polly. The name Lodowick is uncommon in a New England family ; but Lam-
bert Williams of Groton, Conn., married Mary, daughter of William Chester,
and their first child wasLodewick, born in Groton, Feb. 14, 1797. Could there
be any connection between these families?
Wanted, the parentage and birthplace of Nathaniel Williams, and the same
of his wife Dimmis. Mrs. Harry Rogers.

Thompson. — I have in my possession data collected in Lenham, Kent Co.,
England, concerning. John, Henry, Anthony and Elizabeth Thompson, who came
to this country in 1039. I would like to identify this John with John of Strat-
ford if possible. Can any one help me? The descent I have from John Thomp-
son is through Ambrose and Sarah Wells, whose son Ambrose married Ann
Booth, whose daughter Dorithy married Arnold Tibbals of Milford, Ct.
Milford, Ct. Mrs. Nathan G. Pond.
Malcom. — The late fiev. Howard Malcom, D.D., was the son of John James
Malcom of Philadelphia. He was the son of John Malcom, who married Hannah
Roberts in Philadelphia in 1772. (Hannah Roberts was granddaughter of Hugh
Roberta, one of William Penn's council.
Who was the father of John Malcom? There is a vagne tradition that he
was a sea captain during the Revolution and died at sea. Any information on
this line will be gratefully acknowledged by Granville Malcom.
Haver ford. Penn.
Dewey. — Where can the evidence be found that Thomas Dewey, the settler
at Dorchester between 1030 and 1633, came from Sandwich, Kent Co., England?
Where can the record of Israel Dewey, born 1673 (son of Israel Dewey of
Windsor, Conn.), be found? He had sons Israel and Jabez, and died before
January, 1030-1. Jabez lived at Stonington, Conn. (I have his record.)
Whose daughter was Sarah, bom about 1682, who married about 1700 David
Dewey (born 1675 at Windsor, Conn., died 1712 at Westdeld, Mass.)?

Genealogical Queries :—
1. Who were the parents of Abigail wife of Samuel Jones, who appears in
Woburu about 1698? Samuel Jones was son of Hugh of Salem.
2. Who were the parents of Jemima, the wife of Nathau Clark, of Brain-
tree? She married Nathan Clark about 1703.
3. Who were the parents of Nathaniel Etheridge, of Dorchester, who mar-

Clough and Alden. — Who were the parents of Ephraim Clough who is in
Belchertown, Mass., before 177G and deeds laud to son Benjamin for natural
love and affection 177S? I would like to know the wife of Ephraim Clough and
his family. A Joseph Clough of Salem sells laud in Hampshire County, but I
do not find him living in Hampshire County.
Edmund3 Chandler, son of Joseph2, marries Elizabeth Alden, daughter of
Jonathan2 Alden, and has Joseph, John, Benjamin, Samuel; Mary married Jo-
seph Bartlett; Kcturah and Sarah; and a daughter married Isaac Simmons, jr.,

Capt. William Welshman. — I very much desire to learn something about
Capt. William Welshman, master of the ship Moleneaux, which sailed from
Boston to West Indies, May 9. 175S. The Massachusetts Gazette reports Capt.
William Welshman. Sr., died at sea August 1772. King's Chapel Records has
death of Elizabeth, wife of William Welshman, July 28, 1755. Probably she
was Elizabeth Fulford, b. Marblehead, 1717, daughter of Frauds and Elizabeth
Fulford. There was also a Captain William Welchman of a snow arriving at
and sailing from Boston, February, November and December, 1773. He visited
Masonic Lodges June and December 1773. A. A. Folsom.

74 Notes and Queries. [Jan.
Peirce. — I am trying to trace my ancestry back to the settlement of this coun-
try. I think that my branch sprang from Capt. Michael Peirce of Scituate,
who was killed by Xarragansett Iudians in 1676. He had ten children, Persis
(1646), Benjamin, Elizabeth, Deborah, Ann, John, Abiah, Ruth, Ephraim and
Abigail.
John had seven, Michael, John, Jonathan, Ruth, Jael, David and Clothier, all
born between 1684 and 169S.
I find by the Register, vol. 21, page 63, that a John Peirce was located at
Gloucester in 1712, but it adds, " Of this man's family or posterity we know
nothing."
I can go back through Samuel (1800-1860) and Benjamin (1762-1838) of Har-
persfield, N. Y., to Ebenezer of Freetown, Mass. (1733-1816), and I am inclined
to think that he, with his brothers John, Elisha, Obediah, and sisters Martha,
Lydia, Abigail and Sybil, belougs to the aforesaid John.
I write to ask if my assumption be reasonable, or if any one can contradict
it by telling us who Ebenezer s father was?

Robinson Crusoe's Sweethearts.— Mr. Waters, in the October nnmber of
the Register, has hit upon the very last will and testament of Alexander Sel-
kirk; but it was not the only one, and in fact has previously been mentioned in
print as stated in the editor's note. In the Scots Magazine for August, 1805
(Vol. 67, pages 670-674) are some interesting "Anecdotes of Alexander Sel-
kirk." This article (with a wrong reference) is the source of the mention in
John Howell's " Life." The Scots Magazine alludes to the will made at Oars-
1897.] Notes and Queries, 75
ton in Devon, in favor of Frances Candis, Selkirk's new wife in that particular
port, and mentions ber quick consolation with a new husband, Hall, and her
eagerness after Selkirk's effects, but with pardonable Scottish pride congratu-
lates us on the fact that, though the Englishwoman " swept away whatever he
[Selkirk] possessed,*' yet " those curious relicks, his chest, and his musket, and
nis paternal cot in Largo, were too distant to be clutched by her rapacious
gripe." No mention is made of her alleged visit to Largo, as quoted from
Howell by the editor of the Register. Though the will found by Mr. Waters
is only alluded to, another previous will is given in full, as well as a long power
of attorney. Both show that Frances Candis was only a recent accession to
Robinson Crusoe's tender heart. The sweetheart of the port of Plymouth had
had a predecessor in the port of Loudon not long before; we know not how
many others in the interval. The power of attorney and the will, both dated
the 13th of January, 1717-18, are both in favor of the same lady, described in
the first as " my trusty and loving friend Sophia Bruce, of the Pall Mall, Lon-
don, spinster." and in the second "my loveing and well-beloved friend Sophia
Bruce of the Pelmel, Londou, spinster." Selkirk describes himself as of Largo
in the shire of Fife iu North Britain. Nearly everything is left to Sophia, in-
cluding, after his father's death, "a certaiu house in or on a place called the
Craggy Wall in Largo aforesaid, being the eastmost house, as my proper es-
tate." In the will £10 is siven to his loveing friend Katherine Mason, the wife
witnessed by Alexander Bushau and Sarah Holman before John Thomas, jr.
notary public of Wapping. I send a tracing of Selkirk's signature.

Marriage Intentions in Pf.pperrellborough (Register, Vol. L., p. 13).
— Miss E. E. Dana suggests that the " Polly Tappau of ( osta?) " published
April 19, 1772, was Mary, daughter of Rev. Benjamin Tappan, of Manchester,
Mass., who is said to have married a Fairfield.
A close examination of the original record, which is in a very dilapidated
condition, indicates that Manchester is the correct reading. As Dr. Josiah
Fairfield was a resident of Peppcrrellboro', it is probable also that the name
Josiah should be substituted for Jordan in this copy of the records.

Nope.— In the Register for April, 1894, Dr. Charles Edward Banks has an
article on the Nomenclature of Martha's Vineyard. On page 20-i of that num-
ber he says : " In Drake's Old Indian Chronicle (p. 51), a unique title appears,
■ Nope or Marthas Vineyard'. No other occurrence of this singular word has
come to the notice of the writer." In Daniel Gookin's " Historical Collections
of the Indians in New England" (Mass. Hist. Coll.. vol. 1), the author begins
chapter ix. thus : " Martha's Vineyard, or Martin's Vineyard, called by the In-
dians Nope, which we have in the former book described," etc. From this ex-
tract it appears that the word " Nope " is of Indian origin ; and it is mentioned
several times in Gookin's work. Samuel A. Green.
Mercy and Mary.— Some time ago I sent a query to the Register about the
interchangeable use of the names " Mercy " and " Mary," which was printed in
the April number (p. 225) for 1896. Since then I have noted two other in-
stances of the kind which are here given : —
In Dr. Bond's History of Watertown (p. 309), under Jennison, the author
mentions " Mercy (' Mary') bap. Ap. 22, 1753,"— evidently showing that he had
found both forms of the "name.
Again, in the second edition of Binney's History of the Prentice Family
(p. 172), the author speaks of one Mary Jennison, and then adds in a note that
iu the Lancaster records she is called Mercy Jennison. These two women were
76 Notes and Queries. [Jan.
not identical, though bearing the same name, as the first one was married in
1774, and the other died in 1756.
I do not think that any misspelling of the word " Mary " clears up the con-
fusion or explains away the difficulty.

Snow. — In the Register for July, 1S94, page 347, was a query, "Who was
Hannah , wife of Prence3 Snow (Mark,2 Nicholas1) ? " Being a descendant
of Prence Snow, I became interested.
Lieut. Prence Snow died at Harwich 1742, leaving, by will, to his wife Han-
nah " the laud in Mansfield. Conn., her father gave her."
Early this summer I went to Mansfield, Conn., and searched the laud records.
In book 5, pa<re 174, is recorded an agreement dividing a large tract of land, and
signed March 23. 1746-7 by ''Thos. Storrs. Esq. atty. for Mrs. Hannah Snow
and Mr. David Burgess who had 2-5, Theophilus Hall, Esq., who had purchased
2-5, and Mr. Joseph Eldridge who had purchased 1-5."' The record states the
land belonged " originally to Samuel Storrs, one of the first settlers."
Samuel Storrs's will is copied in the " Storrs Family." It was dated May 22,
1717, and recorded July 7, 1719, at Mansfield. In it he gives " to my five daugh-
ters, Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, Lydia, Esther" 100 acres of laud, "equally
among them."
Samuel Storrs lived in Barnstable from 1003 to about 1700. His daughter
Sarah married Thomas Burgess, 2d, and their son David Burgess evidently
inherited his mother's fifth. Hannah Storrs must have married Prence Snow
about 109S. She was living a number of years after the date of the foregoing
agreement, her will being dated Oct. 10. 1751. Her brother. Thomas Storrs,
Esq., who signed as attorney for her and for her nephew David Burgess, named
a son Prince after her husband Prence Snow, who was a grandson of Gov.
Thomas Prence.
Hannah Storrs was born March 28. 1072, at Barnstable, her mother being
Mary, daughter of Thomas Huckins, whose name appears sixth on the original
muster roll of the Artillery Co. 1037, and who was Com'y Gen. of the Plymouth
Colony forces in King Philip's War. Alvin Page Johnson.

NECROLOGY OF THE NEW-ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
Prepared by the Historiographer, Rev. George M. Adams, D.D., of Auburndale, Mass.
The sketches of deceased members prepared for the Register are of
necessity brief, because the space that can be appropriated is quite limited.
All the materials for more extended memoirs which can be gathered are
preserved in the archives of the Society, and they will be available for use
in preparing the <k Memorial Biographies," 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.
Aaron Davis Weld French, son of Jonathan and Hannah Weld (Williams)
French, was born in Boston. December 15, 1835, in the house of his grandfather,
John Davis Williams, which stood on the site of the present Catholic Cathe-
dral at the corner of Washington and Maiden streets. He inherited the broad,
liberal business views of his grandfather, while his education at Newport, R. I.,

by the Rev. John Overton Chonles, the author of several scholarly works, early
sowed the seeds for historic research. In 1851 he visited Europe in the
company of Mr. Choules, the trip being chronicled in the "Young Americans
Abroad." In 1S54 he entered the counting house of Phincas Sprague &. Co., in
Boston, where he had his first, experience in the China business. "
He joined the independent company of Cadets on the 13th of November, 1856,
and in 1859 made his first voyage to China, while in I860 he represented the
business firm of Wetmore, Williams & Co. at Yokohama, Japan. In 1862 he
established the second Boston commission house at Nagasaki, Japan, and was
for a time the representative member of the United States in the Foreign Coun-
cil Municipal of that place.
In 1S67 he returned to Boston bringing with him the first Japanese officers
who completed their education among us, and for a time he made Boston one of
the centres for the education of the Japanese. In 1869, he, with two other
travellers, was the first to announce in Japan the completion of the Union Pa-
cific Railroad, they having made the trip from New York to Yokohama in thirty
travelling days. Before returning home in August of that year the Foreign
Office of Japan appointed him the financial agent of the Japanese Government
at Boston, as well as official bearer of despatches to the United States. In 1871
he engaged in business at New York City, but three years later returned to Bos-
ton. His historic literary researches are shown by his works on " The Sur-
name and Coat of Arras of the YVilhamses," " Index Armorial." published in
1892; "Frenches of Scotland," published in 1803; "County Records of the
Surnames of Francus, Franceis, French in England," published in 1896. He
was Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, member of the Scottish
History Society, of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society (elected
May 2,* 1883), Sous of the Revolution, Veteran Corps of Cadets, and of the
Union, Exchange and Country Clubs. He married, February 8, 1877, Elizabeth
French Davis, daughter of George II. Davis. She was born in Boston, Novem-
ber 18, 1848, and died there, September 21, 1891. He died in Boston, on the fifth
of October, 1896.
Personally and socially Mr. Freuch was one of the most agreeable of men.
His tastes were scholarly. Quiet and unobtrusive in his manners, he yet was
possessed of a large fund of information upon special subjects which he was
always glad to share with other workers in the same direction. During his
later years he took a strong interest in genealogical -work. Besides the three
volumes published he had another in preparation at the time of his death.
He died in Boston on the 5th of October, lo96.
By Charles E. Uurd, of Boston.
Charles Perkins Trumbull, elected a member of this Society in December,
1892, was born at the Trumbull mansion on Trumbull Square, Worcester, Mass.,
September 12, lt<30. He was fourth son and eighth child of George Augustus
and Louisa (Clap) Trumbull, and was seventh in lineal descent from John aud
Ellinor (Chandler) Trumbull of Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, who came to
America in 1639, settled at Roxbury, afterward at Rowley, and whose posterity
in every generation since then have occupied a prominent position in the politi-
cal, social, literary or artistic life of the Colony and the Republic.
He was educated in the common schools of Worcester, and at a boarding
school at Bridgeport, Ct. In company with his elder brother Joseph he went to
California in the Gold Fever of 1649, meeting with the usual disappointment,
aud returned home after visiting the Hawaiian Islands. He was engaged in the
book and publishing business at Worcester in 185G, and later in the same busi-
ness at Oshkosh, Wis., where he failed in the di>a^trous year of 1857. After
this he wa> for a brief period a clerk with his brother-in-law, Henry Lea, then
aMnerchant in Alton, 111., but shortly returned to Worcester, where he became
bookkeeper in the Mechanics Bank. He was among the first to respond to the
call to arms in 1861, and accompanied the Sixth Mass. Regiment in its famous
march through Baltimore, April 19, 1861. On June 10, 1862, he enlisted in the
34th Regiment, M. V. M., and in August of the same year was promoted to
Quarter-master Scrireant, in which capacity he served throughout the war. He
was, in 1866, appointed storekeeper and clerk in the Boston Custom House, but
resigned in 1^87, when lus failing health obliged him to retire from active busi-
ness. Since 1875 he has resided at Beverly, Mass. He twice visited Europe,
1S97.] Necrology of Historic Genealogical Society. 79
the first time in company with his brother Joseph in 1872, on a pleasure trip,
and again in 1893 he took a voyage to the Mediterranean, in the vain pursuit of
health.
He married, October 12, 1S75, Mary, daughter of Rev. Francis and Adeline
A. (Choate) Norwood of Beverly, who died January 29, 1886. He married sec-
ondly, Juue 1, 1887, Sarah Hartwell, daughter of Amos and Lydia (Buck) Hey-
wood, formerly of Westford, Mass., who survives him. He* had no issue by
either marriage.
He leaves three surviving sisters — Elizabeth, widow of Gen. William S. Lin-
coln of Worcester; Miss Susan Trumbull of the same place, and Isabella Frink,
wife of George Franklin Hartshorn of Taunton, Mass. He was the only sur-
vivor of five ^brothers, who all died without male issue, so that with him the
name becomes extinct in the Massachusetts line; the Connecticut branch of the
family is still represented by Jonathan Trumbull of Norwich, Ct., great-grand-
son of Gov. Jonathan Trumbull, and fourth cousin of the deceased.
He was a member of the following societies : The Worcester Light Infantry
Veterans, the Sixth Mass. Regiment Association, the Thirty-fourth~Mass. Regi-
ment Association, the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, the
New-England Historic Genealogical Society, the Essex Institute of Salem, the
Sons of the Revolution and the Order of the Cincinnati.
His risrht in the two last named was derived from his maternal grandfather,
Captain Caleb Clap, who fought at Lexington and Bunker Hill, served through-
out the war, part of the time as Gen. Washington's aid-de-camp, and was one
of the charter members of the Cincinnati, but whose death in 1812, without
surviving male issue, left his right in abeyance until claimed by his eldest grand-
son, Georsre Clap Trumbull, who, dying in 1SS5, was succeeded by his brother,
the subject of this sketch. It may be noted as an interesting coincidence that
Mr. Trumbull, like his grandfather, drew his sword at the first call to arms, and,
like him, only sheathed it when the war was ended.
Of a quiet and retiring disposition, Mr. Trumbull mingled little in society, but
found his chief pleasure in his home and friends. A great pedestrian in his
younger days, he passed many of his leisure hours alone or with some conge-
nial associate, wandering over the hills or through the woods, on which excur-
sions his keen and intelligent appreciation of the beauties of nature made him
a most delightful companion. Passionately fond of Mowers, he rarely returned
from these rambles without some botauical prize of a rare or curious plant,
whose haunts he sought out by an intuitive instinct that never failed him.
He died at his residence, CO Lothrop street, Beverly, October 3, 1896, after a
long and suffering: illness, which he endured with great fortitude. His remains
were interred at Westford in the Heywood family lot.

Rev. David Greene Haskins, A.M., S.T.D., second son of Ralph and Re-
becca (Greeue) Haskins, was born in Boston, May 1, 1818. Ralph3 was the six-
teenth and youngest child of John2 and Hannah (Upham) Haskins. Robert
Haskins,'1 the father of John,2 came to Boston from Virginia in the early part of
the last century. Ralph was a well-known Boston merchant in partnership
with Theodore Lyman. Rebecca Greene was the eldest daughter of David
Greene and his wife Rebecca, daughter of John Rose of Antigua, W. I., and
was a direct descendant of John Greene, an associate of Roger Williams in the
Providence purchase.
Dr. Hawkins was cousin to Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose school in Roxbury
he attended in boyhood. He graduated at Harvard in 1837, aud was then em-
ployed for two years as assistant in the academy of his uncle, Charles W. Greene,
at Jamaica Plain, where he had fitted for college. He was, for part of the
junior year, a member of the class of '41 of Andover Theological Seminary, but
obtained his principal theological training, a few years later, under the private
instruction of Dr. Howe, afterwards Bishop of Central Pennsylvania. He was
for three years preceptor of the academy at Portland, Me., and while study-
ing for the ministry had a private school for srirls at Roxbury, and several years
later established, and for ten years successfully conducted a school for young
ladies, at the South End, Boston. Always successful as a teacher, his heart was
in the work of the ministry, from which he partly turned aside, only on account
of vocal. weakness. Notwithstanding this hindrance, his ministerial record is

beyond the average of those of the same calling;. Ordained in the Episcopal
Church in 1847-8, his first charge "was at Gardiner, Me. He afterwards estab-
lished new churches in Medford, Brighton and Arlington, Mass. ; was two years
chaplain at the McLean Asylum in Somerville, and in his later life, from' Jan-
nary, 1889, had charge of St. Bartholomew's Church in Cambridge. His emi-
nence as a teacher and churchman was fittingly recognized by his election as
Dean and Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the Theological School of the
University of the South, at Sewanee, Tenn., which position he declined, but
accepted appointment as Commissioner of Education at the same University.
Columbia College conferred on him. in 1877, the degree of S. T. D.
He was elected member of the"'.7ew-England Historic Genealogical Society,
January 6, 1869: was for several ears chairman of the Committee on Papers
and Essays, and often served th ". Society on special committees. His literary
ability is shown by the following books and pamphlets from his pen : " Selec-
tions from the Old and New Testaments for Use in Families and Schools ;" " The
French and English First Book ; " " Confirmation ; " " The Study of the Larger
English Dictionaries ;" "The Religions Education of Children in New Eng-
land;" " The Requisites for a Church School for Girls; " and " The Maternal
Ancestors of Ralph Waldo Emerson." His mental versatility is shown in the
fact that duriug recent years he had given much attention to scientific matters,
conducting interesting and valuable investigations relative to propelling vessels
by novel devices, and had not only written quite extensively on the subject but
had patented several inventions.
Dr. Haskins married, December 20. 1842. at her home in Portland, Me., Mary
Cogswell, daughter of the Hon. Charles Stuart Daveis and his wife. Elizabeth
Taylor, daughter of Gov. Gilman of Exeter, N. II., and died at Cambridge,
Mass., May 11, 1596, leaving a widow and three children: one son, David G.
Haskins, Jr. (Harvard, *66). a lawyer in Boston; and two daughters, Mary
C, now Mrs. James 0. Watson of Orange, New Jersey, and Frances Greene
Haskins.
Dr. Haskius had a " peculiarly amiable and loving nature, inspiring warm af-
fection " in all who enjoyed his- acquaintance, and as a teacher was " particu-
larly successful in wiuning the confidence and esteem of his pupils." He was a
man of '-persevering patience," constantly doing "the next thing," in entire
disregard of apparent obstacles. Characterized by " the^absence of all pre-
tence, sincere, uua^suminu. with unvarying rectitude." he sought the Master's
approval alone. Never " vainly jealous of his own right or reputation," he
had that rarest of graces, " delight in the advancement of others," in honor
esteeming others better than himself. The text of the memorial discourse
found a ready response in the hearts of all who knew him : " Well done, good
and faithfulservant."

Joseph Meredith To.ver, M.D., of Washington City, in the District of Colum-
bia, elected a corresponding member of the Society in 1893, was- born in Pitts-
burgh, Pa., on April 30, 152.3, and died at the Mountain House, Cresson Springs,.
in the same state, on July 30. 1896. He was the elder son of Meredith Toner
and Ann Layton, both also natives of the State of Pennsylvania, and of mixed
Welsh and Irish descent.
After his early education at the Western University of Pennsylvania and
Mount St. Mary's" College, at Emmetsburgh, in the State of Maryland, he began
the study of medicine in 1817, in the office of John Lowruan, M.D., at Johns-
town, Westmoreland County. Pennsylvania. Subsequently, in 1849, he attended
lectures at the Jerferson Medical College in Philadelphia, and in 1850 at the Ver-
mont Medical College at Woodstock, from which in June of that year he re-
ceived the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
He began bis medical practice at a little village of about 400 inhabitants,.
known by the name of Summit, ou the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, where
that road crosses the highest range of the Alleghany Mountains, and singularly
enough within three quarters of a mile of the place to which he came 56 years
afterwards to die, after a brilliant career at the national capital. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad was then in course of construction over the mountains, and Dr.
Toner's practice became at once very large and extensive. In the autumn of
1853 he removed to Pittsburgh, where he had remarkable success during the

cholera epidemic of the succeeding year 1854. But he finally resolved to estab-
lish himself in the city of Washington, D. C, which he did in November, 1855;
and there in the course of a long and busy professional life of 40 years, he be-
came noted as one of the foremost medical practitioners in the United States.
Probably no practitioner in America was better known to the medical profes-
sion than Dr. Toner.
He became prominently connected with the American Medical Association, of
which he was elected the president in 1873. On the occasion of his election he
delivered a remarkably able and well-consider A address, which procured for
him commendatory notices, not only from tV medical journals of the country,
but likewise from the press generally.
In 1872 Dr. Toner donated a fund for the ^tablishment of lectures in Wash-
ington for the advancement of science. These are known as the " Toner Lec-
tures," which have received the participation of many eminent men in the
medical and scientific world.
In later years Dr. Toner devoted himself largely to literature, gradually
withdrawing himself from medical practice, which however he never wholly
abandoned. Besides a large and valuable medical library, he collected probably
the largest library iu America of local American history; and the whole, com-
prising about 28.000 volumes, exclusive of about 18,000 pamphlets, he presented
in 18S2 to the people of the United States, to be retained in the Library of Con-
gress at Washington, uuder the name of the " Toner Collection." 'For this
generous donation lie received the thanks of Congress.
Dr. Toner's publications, mostly upon medical or hygienic subjects, are nu-
merous, although none of them are voluminous. In later years he devoted
himself very ardently to an elucidation of the life of George Washington, some
of whose journals and diaries he published with valuable notes and comments.
Probably there was no man in the LTnited States more familiar with the life of
George "Washington than was Dr. Toner.
He was a member of numerous societies, medical, scientific and historical,
to all of which he contributed largely; for nothing ever came to him that ap-
peared to him to be conducive to the enlightenment or welfare of humanity
which did not enlist his hearty cooperation. For the same reason he became
deeply interested in many of the charitable institutions of Washington, some
of which he aided in founding. His home on Highland Place in Washington
was always the scene of a generous hospitality. It may be added that there
was no citizen of Washington better or more favorably known, or whose de-
mise would be more generally regretted.
By Hon. 31. F. Morris, of Washington, D. C.
William Gordon Weld, born in Boston, Nov. 10, 1827, was the son of
William Fletcher Weld and Mary P. (Bryant) Weld of that city. He was a
direct descendant, in the seventh generation, of Capt. Joseph Weld who came
from Sudbury, County of Suffolk, England, in 1035 and settled in Roxbury,
Mass.
At the age of twelve or thirteen, he entered the Boston Public Latin School
with the intention of fitting for Harvard College. His tastes and opportunities,
however, combining to make a business career appear more attractive and
profitable, he left the school before graduating and began a training in com-
mercial affairs in the office of his father who was at the head of the firm of
W. F. Weld & Co. This firm enjoyed at that time a great reputation for the
number and excellence of its ships and for the magnitude of its commercial
transactions.
Showing an aptitude for affairs he was entrusted with the duty of conduct-
ing negotiations requiring tact and ability, and when still quite young was
given an interest in the business and a place in the firm, a connection which
continued until he retired from business about the year 1871.
Mr. Weld was of an impulsive, energetic temperament, and enthusiastic and
diligent in whatever he undertook. In 1855, he, with a few others of his own
age, was active in establishing a free evening school for boys on Pitts Street,
Boston, of which he for some time acted as superintendent. He and his col-
leagues devoted two evenings in each week to the work of teaching those who
would otherwise have had no opportunity to obtain even an elementary education.
For nearly five years, sometimes under discouraging conditions, Mr. Weld

prosecuted his workwitb unabated ardor, neither business nor pleasure being
allowed to interfere with a faithful and punctual performance of this labor of
love. In many instances, boys who attended this free evening school have visited
Mr. Weld and his co-workers in later years, to bear testimony to the value of
the service rendered to them. This undertaking was one of the initial steps to
the public evening school afterwards established by the City of Boston.
After his retirement from active business he did not lead a wholly inactive
life. In the management of his father's large estate as one of the executors,
and one of the trustees under the will, and as a director in the several institu-
tions aud corporations with which he was connected, he found ample and con-
genial employment for all the time he desired to devote to such purposes. For
many years previous to his death he resided in his beautiful home in Newport,
R.I., but he still retained and occupied duriug the winter months his home on
Commonwealth Avenue. He was one of the trustees of the Old Ladies Home
at Boston and one of the directors of the Butler Hospital for the insane at
Providence, R.I., and remembered both these institutions in his last will. He was
a member of the Arlington Street Church Society. He became a member of the
New-Englaud Historic Genealogical Society in 1874.
He was married January 1, ISoi, to Miss Caroline L. Goddard, daughter
of Charles Goddard of Brookline. who survives him.
They had two sons, Dr. Charles G. Weld, now living, and William F. Weld,
deceased.
He died April 16, 1896.

John Haigh, Esq., of Somerville. Mass., a life member elected Sept. 7, 1887r
died in Somerville, Aug. 20, 1S96. " The dead do not need us, but forever and
forevermore we need them," were the suggestive and impressive words of Presi-
dent Garfield. No man can live without exerting an influence for the help or
harm of others, and that iuflueuce does not die with the death of the body. It
is alive in the character and purposes of those who were associated with him.
We recall our friend and associate with aflectiouate respect. His generous
interest in matters outside the private and individual interests of his life gave
him wide and lasting honor. He was a man of business sagacity and enter-
prise ; a man of acknowledged sympathy ; a man upright in all his business and
social dealings; a man of reverent convictions and faith.
He was the son of George aud Hannah (Parkinson), and was born in Duken-
fteld, Cheshire, England, Dec. 31, 1832. For over thirty years he resided in
America, his adopted country. Although engaged in business before leaving
England, it was here that by close application, continuous industry and business
tact he accumulated his property. He had no special opportunities for an edu-
cation in his younger years. But from his youth throughout his life he has
been a careful observer, and a student of books. His remarkable career in his
Masonic affiliations attest to the vigor of his mind as well as to his persoual
popularity. But outside the study of Masonry, for which he had one of the best
selected and extensive libraries, he was devoted to the study of history. He
was particularly interested in Africa, reading all works of any value and avail-
ing himself also of the researches of the Egypt Exploration Society of which
he was a member. His connection with various historical societies in Boston
brought him into contact with men of tastes kindred to his own, and gave him
access to many books he might not otherwise have been' able to consult. His
knowledge of numismatics was remarkable, and it was delightful to witness
his own delight in the examination of some curious coin. He was well versed
in general literature, and had an intelligent interest in the current affairs of the
day, but had no taste for the contentions of politics. He was married in Per-
kins, Me., April 12, 1859, to Lucy Jane Tallmon, who survives him. Apart from
his business duties and his obligations to Masonic and other societies, he found
his chief felicity in his home. He was a man of attractive presence. His genial,
kindly, sympathetic and intelligent face wras indicative of the man. Without
profusion he was liberal, and he added to the value of his gifts by inbred cour-
tesy. Let his memory be cherished, and from his life may we see the value of
Ruskin's admonition, when he says: — " Let us do the work of men while we
wear the form of them."

Rev. Leander Thompson, A.M., was born in Woburn, Mass., March 7, 1812,
the son of Charles and Mary (Wymau) Thompson. He was a descendant of
James Thompson, one of the original settlers of Woburn, who was the first an-
cestor in this country of Count Rumford (Benjamin Thompson).
His early education was obtained in the village schools, and he was fitted for
college at the Warren Academy, Woburn, entered Amherst College in 1831, was
graduated in 1835, and took a theological course at Andover Theological Sem-
inary, where he was graduated iu 1838.
He supplied a pulpit in Grauby, Mass.. for a year, and not long afterward
sailed from Boston for Syria and the Holy Land, with others, in January, 1S10,
as a missionary of the American' Board of Foreign Missions. While there he
was a teacher in the high school at Beirut, and besides his duties as a mission-
ary preached in turn with others on Sundays at the American consulate.
While he was thus engaged that country was convulsed with the first in a
succession of sanguinary outbreaks, and the missionaries were obliged to flee.
After a time he returned to Beirut, but he had scarcely settled down to his work
before another disturbance broke out, and this was followed by a third and
fourth in less than four years, but he pursued his work till he was seized with
illness which finally compelled his return to America, after having been under
the direction of the Board of Missions about four years.
After his return he was a pastor in South Hadley, Mass., for seven years, in
West Amesbury, now Merrimac, Mass., for thirteen years, and preached for
some years in Wolfboro', N. H., and in Woburn.
In his later years he engaged largely in literary pursuits, devoting much time
to historical research, especially in local history. He was a careful and accurate
writer and expressed himself in chaste and vigorous English. He wrote a "Me-
morial of James Thompson and of Eight Generations of His Descendants";
a " Memorial of Rev. Benjamin F. Hosford"; an able and exhaustive Ecclesi-
astical History of Woburn, which appeared in Hurd's History of Middlesex
County in 1890; and many articles for monthly aud quarterly magazines. He
was one of the founders of the Rumford Historical Association, and always
took active part in its exercises. His membership in the New-England Historic
Genealogical Society dates from 1887.
He married, Nov. 6, 1839, Anne Eliza Avery, daughter of Samuel and Mary
Avery of Wolfboro', X. H., who survives him. He leaves one son, Samuel A.
Thompson of North Woburn. The first born of his five deceased children is
buried in Jerusalem. Mr. Thompson died in Woburn, in the house in which he
was born, Oct. 18, 1896.

Nathaniel Wing Turner, Esq., was born at Waquoit, town of Falmouth.
Cape Cod, May 13th, 1810, and died at Jamaica Plain, February 22d, 1896. He
was a life member of this Society, being elected to membership in 1871.
He was a son of Walter and Lydia (Swift) Turner. He learned the trade of
carpenter, and in 1832 married Celia Crocker West, a daughter of Josiah Blos-
som West, of Barnstable, and settled in New Bedford, working at his trade in
that town.
In 1836 he removed to Chelsea and built a number of houses and several
churches.
About 1840 the Boston Gas Light Company commenced business, and he was
engaged as foreman and continued in that position till May. 1851, when he pur-
chased of them the gas fitting and fixture department" of the business and
established his salesroom for gas fixtures at 21 Bromfield Street, Boston. He
was the pioneer in the business and fitted and furnished some of the largest
buildings in Boston and vicinity. He also superintended and built the gas
works in Chelsea and was a director in the company until a short time before
his death. He Mas a director of the Tradesman's Bank, afterwards the First
National Bank of Chelsea, and was a life member of the Massachusetts Chari-
table Mechanic Association, serving as one of the Committee of Relief for
three years.
He was also a member of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for several
years.

a lineal descendant of one of the oldest Concord families, was born at Concord,
Mass., March 29, 1S29, and died at Maiden, March 1, 1S9G, after a long illness.
He came to Boston several years before the war, and was engaged iu various
commercial pursuits; at the outbreak of the Rebellion he was in the wholesale
and retail shoe business under the firm name of Bodwell & Potter; the unsettled
condition of the market caused the firm to dissolve, and some years afterwards
Mr. Potter entered the wholesale Watch and jewelry business, in which he
remained until a few years before his death; during this long period he was
connected with the house of H. T. Spear & Son,
The stroug religious tendencies of his youth were developed in his early man-
hood, and he associated himself earnestly and with eager conviction with the
Universalists. He held, as a lay member, many offices iu the religious and social
organizations of that sect. He was an officer in the Universalist Sunday-School
Union, which embraces twenty different schools, for twenty-eight consecutive
years, including the secretaryship for ten years, and for several years he was
president of that body. At the time of his illness he was also secretary of the
Universalist Club, which office he had ably filled for six years. A lameness from
boyhood had always prevented his participation iu active life, and had developed
the mathematical and statistical abilities for which he was well known among
his own circle of friends.

We are accustomed to speak of the Revolution as " the times that tried men's
souls." How much more is this applicable to the period a century before the
Revolution, when the Indian's scalpimr knife was in constant use, and the farmer
went forth to his daily avocation fearful that an attack might be made upon his
household at any hour. At the record of atrocities perpetrated at that period,
one is apt to shudder, and to feel grateful that such scenes have passed almost
into the domain of ancient history.
The history of the desperate struasrle with the Indians in 1C75-G, known as
King Philip's War, is not so familiar to the general historical reader as it should
be. With the exception of the accounts of Hubbard. Increase Mather, Hoyt
and Drake, all of which are becoming scarce, but little attention has been given
to this subject by hi.-torical writers. Mr. Bodge has therefore labored iu a com-
paratively unworked field and gleaned from a much neglected vineyard. At
That period, it must be remembered, the colonies were only in the second gener-
ation from their settlement. The towns were few in number, distant from each
other, and scattered over an extensive territory. Mutual assistance was diffi-
cult, not to say hazardous. The military forces were not sufficiently strong to
protect each settlement. The situation was perilous in the extreme. Viewed
in the light of modern times it seems to have been a very unequal contest, and
the wonder is that it was brought to a successful termination.
In the preparation of the work the author has given abundant evidence of pa-
tieut, persistent and painstaking research. Nearly every page exhibits these
qualities, but none more so than his lists of soldiers and their biographies, who

served in the struggle, which are probably as correct as it is possible to make
them.
Nor is Mr. Bodge's judgment any less entitled to confidence and respect. His
opinion in regard to the policy of burning the wigwams iu the great Swamp
Fight is one that will meet the concurrence of all who examine well the exi-
gencies of the situation.
Mr. Bodge's history is oue that should be widely read, and should be owned
by every person having an interest in the early colonial contests. It is neatly
printed and bound, and is a very valuable addition to our early colonial histo-
ries.

Redenhall icith Harleston, Xorfolk, England. By Charles Candler. Norwich :
William Jarrold & Son. 1S96. Crown 8vo. Price 5 shillings. Address the
publishers, Norwich, England.
The labors of the local antiquary need no set eulogy. Each town, " to them
that dwell therein well known," is. of course, well pleased at the mention of
the familiar nooks and corners which form its quaintly irregular configuration,
and in an old country the traveller cannot go far without coming on the traces
of some character of more than local importance. It is true that the special
group of villages, Redenhall, Harleston, Wortwell, now parochially welded to-
gether, have not revealed to their historian any name of the first or second
magnitude ; but Mr. Candler's patient and intelligent investigation of the
records of his native place deserves to be known beyond local bouudaries,
and will doubtless be acceptable to many a New England reader, sprung, per-
chance, from one or other of those vtho "served their generation by the will of
God," and have left these scanty vestiges of what was done in their days.
The illustration of Redenhall Church, which forms the frontispiece, is a re-
markably good representation of a typical East Anglian tower of a high order
of excellence. None but those who "have seen with their own eyes the beauty of
the flint-and-stone work can fully appreciate it. The indurate flint, squared and
smoothed, forms the panel of the pattern, and the ashlar sides are flush with
it. Thus, as it were, the eye gets the pleasure of light and shade, even when
the sun is beclouded. The name of Redenhall seems to originate with the ante-
conquestal proprietor, Rada. As we follow the chronicle, the development of
the parochial history is brought into daylight, step by step. From the pretty
river Waverey we pass to the Domesday Record, to the Church, the Rectory
and Rectors, with notices of the history of the benefice at the time of the Black
Death in 1349, and its relation to the Nuunery of Bungay. Among the names
of Rectors appear Miles Spencer, LL.D., of rapacious celebrity; John Salis-
bury, sometime Suffragan Bishop of Thetford, and afterwards Bishop of Sodor
and Man; the Huguenot Pierre de Laune, S.T.P.; William Tanner, brother of
the well known antiquary, Thomas; Henry Stebbing, D.D., the pluralist whose
rebuke at the hands of the deist Chubb is recorded; John Oldershaw, the only
Senior Wrangler of whom Emmanuel College can boast; and the late Arch-
deacon-Ormerod, a laborer In many fields of learning.
Then come the Churchwardens, with their accounts, as well as those of the
Overseers and the Surveyors of Highways, and the Briefs, notes of moneys
collected from time to time in obedience to Royal Letters. As may be expected,
these often present matters of more than local interest, as in 1634, £2 6. 6 for
the repair of St. Paul's Cathedral, after the old spire had been ruined by fire
more than sixty years back; in 1G42, £49. 9 for the dispersed protectants in
Ulster; andin"lC91 £2. 1 for Teignmouth, burnt by Admiral Tourville after
the Beachy Head business.
A practical ringer, as Mr. Candler is, would be sure not to omit the Bells
which have, as usual, on them many instructive sisrns and inscriptions. Then
after noticing the Church Goods and Plate, the old Chapel of S. John the Bap-
tist in Harleston, and some of the old houses, he draws to an end with a sketch
of a local antiquary of past davs, Edmund Gillingwater, the historian of Lowes-
toft and of Bury St. Edmund's".
Among surnames of East Anglian and New England interest are Damatt,
Frere, Fuller, Hobbard, Jermyn, Kent, Mathews, Pratt, Tompson, Vince

layer), Warren and Wogau.

To one who often has occasion to consult the local records in various parts
of New England, there comes a keen realisation of the dangers to which many
of these precious documents are exposed. The rapidly increasing interest in
the preservation of such of our early annals as have survived the ravages of
time is a source of extreme gratification to the genealogist and the antiquary.
As a result of this interest there are now in print more than one hundred vol-
umes of the early local records of New England.
Among the contributions of the year 1896, the Proprietors' Records, issued
by the city of Cambridge, is a notable work. It is the first volume of a pro-
posed series. The copy was prepared from the original by Miss Sarah S.
Jacobs, largely as a labor of love. No words are too strong in recommendation
of the care that has been bestowed in making this transcript and in comparing
the proofs with the original record " in order that not a letter or punctuation
mark should differ from the original manuscript." The City Clerk, Mr. Edward
.J. Brandon, certifies that it is a true and complete copy of all the records known
as the Proprietors' Records. The book is a superb piece of work, from the
well known University Press, and compares favorably with the best volumes
of local records hitherto issued. It can be obtained from the City Clerk by
exchange of similar works.
Canton, the " Ponkapoag Plantation" of John Eliot, had an able historian
in the late Daniel T. V. Huntoon, but he died before his work was finished, and
his history, as published by the town is deficient in genealogical matter. Un-
fortunately the early church records have been lost, but by using volume
twenty-one of the Boston Record Commissioners' Reports and the present vol-
ume of Vital Statistics, most of the Canton families can be traced. Mr. Eudi-
cott has produced a very creditable volume, and one that will be much used.
The title gives a clear idea of the contents of the third book on this list.
The Fitchburg Historical Society has received a substantial response to its
petition, seeking action from the City Council for the preservation of the early
Fitchburg records and of such of the Lunenburg records as relate to Fitchburg.
May many other local historical societies accomplish as much. This is a
durable and attractive volume, and gives evidence of considerable attention to
the art of good book-making.
Saco has the distinction of being the first municipality in Maine to publish a
volume of its early records. The records of the Proprietors of Narraganset
Township, No. 1 (Buxton), the only volume issued at an earlier date, were
privately printed. The present city of Saco comprises that portion of Bidde-
ford which was set off in 1762 under the name of Pepperrellborough. The
name was changed to Saco in 1805. This book contains the vital statistics of
the town prior to 1840. G.

The Life, Public Services, Addresses and Letters of Elias Boudinot, LL.D., Pres-
ident of the Contincrital Congress. Edited by J. J. Boudinot, Member of the
New Jersey Historical Society. In two volumes. Bostou and New York.

Elias Boudinot, the great-grandson of a prominent and influential Huguenot
(Elie Boudinot) who settled" in New York about 1G87, was born April 21, 1740.
He was a leading lawyer, an active participant in the Revolution from its incep-
tion, commissary general of prisoners, a New Jersey member of the Continen-
tal Congress for several years, President of Congress when the treaty of peace
with Great Britaiu was concluded in 1783, was a member of the first Federal
Congress, Director of the Mint. 1795-1805; founder and first president of the
American Bible Society, and active in other philanthropic movements: married
a sister of Richard Stockton (signer of the Declaration of Independence), who
married a sister of Boudinot in turn. The life of such a man, extending from
1740 to 1821, over one of the most eventful periods of American history, natu-
rally presents an attractive theme for the biographer. But in these two hand-
some volumes his talented kinswoman has given us more than a biography. In
the simplest, most unpretending style, she has set forth a mass of material, for
the most part hitherto unpublished, and practically unknown to students, of
the greatest interest for the contemporary light it throws on the chief actors
and events of that formative epoch in our country's annals. Here we have let-
ters and documents, the correspondence of Boudiuot with Washington, Frank-
lin, Livingston, army officers, representatives of foreign governments, and — of
especial value, for its unrestrained confidences — with his wife, reflecting the
opinions of the hour on the momentous transactions of the time. His " Remi-
niscences," written at a later day, and here first printed, possess a curious in-
terest for the remarkable, uot to say extraordinary criticisms they contain on
the Count de Grasse's conduct at Yorktown, and on other prominent men in the
Revolution. The very indiscretion of these candid relations is not their least
valuable and entertaining feature. Boudinot was a man of strong individual-
ity, a shrewd observer, thoroughly alive to what was going on about him, as
the extracts from his letter-books and correspondence show. Miss Boudinot
has done a real service to American history by permitting the public to share
her rich treasures of family papers, in these attractive volumes.

Annals of King's Chapel, from the Puritan Age of New England to the Present
Time. By Henry Wilder Foote. In two volumes. Volume II. Boston:
Little, Brown & Company. 189G. 8vo. pp. xxvi.-f-690. Price $5, or §10 for
the set.
The late Rev. Henry W. Foote, pastor of the King's Chapel, delivered many
years ago a series of lectures on the history of the church over which he had
been settled in 1861. He was requested to furnish a copy for the press ; but in-
stead of complying with the request of the parish, he decided to continue his
researches amfmake them the basis of a full history of the Chapel. The first
volume, making nearly >ix hundred octavo pages, and bringing the history down
to the year 1747, was issued on Forefathers' Dav, 1881, and was noticed in the
Rf.gistki: for April, 1882, pp. 217-1S. He continued his work till his death,
May 2!), 1889, and before he died had finished the first hundred and ninety-one
pages of this volume, and had written other matter which is here printed in an
appendix.
After Rev. Mr. Foote's death, Mr. H^nry Herbert Edes was invited to take
the materials left by the lamented author and finish the work. This he con-
sented to do in the antumn of 1839. A mass of material for the remaining
chapters was placed in his hands, and the editor tells us that " the mere classi-
fication and arrangement of it involved a great expenditure of time.'' Among
this material— chiefly composed of extracts from manuscripts or printed docu-
ments, early newspapers and standard publications — was more or less of Mr.
Foote's own manuscript, dealing with topics falling within the scope of the un-
written chapters. " It has been the editor's constant aim," continues Mr. Edes,
"to incorporate as much of this manuscript as possible, adapting some por-
tions that were written in the form of discourse. He has also striven to follow
88 Book Notices. [Jan.
as closely as possible the general style and plan which Mr. Foote had adopted
for the work, and to interpret faithfully the notes and suggestions of the
author as to that part of the volume which he did not live to complete. This
has occasioned some protracted research, which in itself has considerably de-
layed the progress."
Mr. Foote "left a pencilled list of proposed headings for the chapters of
this volume, which has been followed as closely as was practicable. Only one
chapter, that on 'The Unitarian Movement,' has been excluded, as the subject
has recently been so admirably treated by the Rev. Joseph Henry Allen, D.D.,
that had his work appeared in Mr. Foote's lifetime, it would undoubtedly have
forestalled any attempt to discuss it further in these pages."
Mr. Edes has performed his work in a thorough manner, and has completed
the History of King's Chapel in a way that would have met with the ap-
proval of Mr. Foote. The new matter is well written, and the editorial work
is thoroughly done. A memoir of Mr. Foote. by Hon. Winslow Warren, is
appended. Other appendixes preserve important articles relating to the
church. There is a list of '• the Proprietors of the First Chapel prior to 1754.
compiled from the Ledger." and another list of '-Proprietors of Pews since
the present Chapel was opened for worship, August 31, 1751." Other lists are
of Ministers, Wardens and Vestrymen.
There is much biographical as well as historical matter in this volume. The
book is illustrated with many line portraits of distinguished men, besides en-
gravings. The index is remarkably full, and much time has been spent in
identifying the persons named in the volume, and obtaining their full names
for the index.
Austerfield : The Cradle of the Pilgrim Fathers. An Appeal to the American Peo-
ple. Doncaster, England. 1896. Svo. pp. 11.
This illustrated pamphlet has been issued by the Vicar and Churchwardens
to awaken an interest in the proposed restoration of St. Helen's Church, Aus-
terfield, and to raise the necessary funds for the work.
The church was built more than seven hundred years ago by John de Builli,
one of the Conqueror's followers. It was in this ancient structure that Gov.
William Bradford was baptized on the 19th of March, 1589.
After having " pretty well relieved all the charitable persons in the neighbor-
hood of their spare cash " this appeal to the public is made. The appeal is not
limited " to the British public alone, but extended to all American friends who
wish to preserve an ancient monument so closely connected with their nation's
history." Prior to November 16, 1896, the following persons in this vicinity
have made substantial contributions to this worthy object: Mrs. Bd ward A.
Bangs, Mrs. George Baty Blake, Dr. Edward H. Bradford, Samuel Eliot, Esq.,
Dr. Reynolds and Hon. Louis C. Southard of Boston, Miss Addle G. Thayer of
Brookline, and Peter Chardon Brooks of Medford.
Remittances should be made payable to " The Austerfield Church Restoration
Fund," and should be sent to the Honorary Secretary, Mr. John Walker, Baw-
try, Yorkshir.-, England. A Boston committee to assist in the work of raising
funds is verv much desired.

The early and later history of Canada is not without interest. The new life

loyal to the King. The history of Canada ante 177.1, its battlefields and victo-
ries for ^reat principles, is a common inheritance. The Revolution was at
the parting of the ways. Lunenburg or the Old Eastern District, at present

region rapidly peopled at the close of the Revolution. Much of its excellent
life came from the States; likewise much from the hardy Rangers. Cornwall
was settled in 1776. This volume contains the story of the settlers and their
descendants. Judge Pringle has shown himself a worthy writer of the found-
ers of the Old Eastern District. His thirty-seven chapters of valuable history
aud reminiscence evidence that other worthy words could be written, and that
Judge Prinjrle is the man equipped to do this reverent service. The story of
the war of IS 12 and the rebellion of 183S is briefly told. This volume should
be a forerunner. In future volumes local maps and individual indices would
prove of large value.

These five volumes contain a vast amount of historical material, aud com-
prise letters and state papers written by Silas Deane. Benjamin Franklin, Robert
Morris and many other prominent meu in the colonies and in France, although
those written by Mr. Deane make up the major part of the work and constitute
an enduring mouument to his untiring application and indefatigable industry.
He was a man of brilliant intellect, a born chronicler of events, indeed nothing
seems to have escaped his vigilant eye. He graduated at Yale College, and
was admitted to the bar, but he soon after settled in Wethersfield, near
Hartford, and entered into the West India trade. It is probable that the
experience which he acquired during his ten years or so of life as a merchant
(combined with the exercise of accurate and exact business habits) contributed
largely toward making him the man of affairs that he was, and fitted him for a
wider field of usefulness. During his service for nearly two years as a delegate
from Connecticut to the Continental Congress he wrote many letters containing
picturesque and vivid accounts of the colonial life of the day, especially of the
life of the delegates in Philadelphia. His life there was no sinecure. The ses-
sions of Congress lasted throughout the day. beginning sometimes very early
in the morning. Mr. Deane also served on many important committees which
took most of his evenings as well. One of the interesting features of his let-
ters of this period are the pen portraits which he gives in miniature of Wash-
ington, Randolph, Harrison, Lee, &c. Perhaps the most important work he
accomplished during his term of service was the active part he took in planuing
for the capture of Ticonderoga. He with a few others gave their notes for the
money necessary to equip the expedition. On March 1, 1776, he was appointed
by the Committee of Secresy of Congress (virtually the Department of State),
consisting of Samuel Ward, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas McKcan. Joseph
Hewes, Josiah Bartlett and Robert Alexander, as agent to the French govern-
ment to see about obtaining war supplies for the colonies. Soon after receiving
his commission he set sail for Bordeaux and travelled from thence to Paris. It
is probable that there was no man in Congress better fitted to undertake this
delicate and important mission. He united tact with great assiduity and appli-
cation in the discharge of the difficult task with which he was intrusted. The
Colonies were almost destitute of war material of all kinds, but Deane by his
address managed to obtain a large number of cannon and muskets, sufficient to
equip an army of twenty-five thousand men, on an extended term of credit.
lie was also influential in inducing Lafayette and many other French officers of
distinction to accept commissions in the American army. Although immense
sums of money passed through his hands he died a poor 'man.

A biography should possess several essentials. A good subject, strong con-
temporaries, stirring times, a quick and ready interpreter of the man and his
surroundings, and a free and facile pen to properly place and balance the char-
acter, environment and every attending influence. Hosea Ballou 2d was born
October 18, 1796, and died May 27. 1861. From slightest opportunities he rose
by untiring study to foremost rank in scholarship. He was the first president
of Tufts College. He began his theological studies with his uncle, "Father"
Hosea Ballou. He had pastoral settlements at Stafford, Conn., Roxbury and
Medford. He was inaugurated president of Tufts College in 1S55, and during
its early, trying years labored hard to give it a sure foundation. Doctor Ballou
from 1S42 to 1858 was one of the overseers of Harvard University. His liter-
ature beside his " Ancient History of Universaiism *' for most part is in the vol-
umes of the " Universalist Quarterly," of which for many years he was editor.
The author of this biography, a nephew, has eminently filled the requirements
of a biographer. The life story of this eminent man makes plain the move-
ments in the 19th century religious life.

History of Francestoicn, X. H. From its Earliest Settlement, April 1758, to Jan-

lies. By Rev. W. R. Cochrane, of Antrim, N. H., and George K. Wood, of
Francestown. Published by the Town. Nashua, N. H. : 1895. 8vo. pp.4-f-
1016-fxv. Illus. Map.
It is seldom that the writer of a Town-history so steadily lures on the reader
from page to page, investing with the interest of a story the record in the com-
pilation of whose documentary details so much labor and pains are seen to be
involved. The adventurous, intrepid and enterprising Scotch settlers of Fran-
cestown are amply and judiciously characterized, the '-things discreditable"
which the author frankly acknowledges having omitted being conjecturally such
as would add still greater liveliness to a portraiture that does not in the least
sutler from Mr. Cochrane's humorous exhibition of the frailties of his heroes.
" Ty thing-men," ''wolf-years," "Tory-visitations," "drinks," "dark days,"
and other similarly picturesque passages may be considered as the sparkling
foam on the tide of accumulated facts comprised in an exhaustive civil, eccle-
siastical and military history of the town.
As the annals of Francestown are presented with admirable fulness and ac-
curacy in the first part of the book, it being difficult to imagine any particulars,
either entertaining or important, as having been overlooked; so, in the second
part, there is afforded a Genealogical Record of more than 500 pages whose
merits will indefinitely increase the value of the work, based as the Record is
on a method of the most convenient and comprehensive sort, and therefore cer-
tain to add tenfold usefulness to the volume. Mr. Wood's contribution gives
to the book a distinguished place on the list of New Hampshire Town-histories
which, in respect to their genealogical features, are second only to those of
Massachusetts.

Report of the Committee on Louisburg Memorial. Society of Colonial Wars. New
York. 1896. 8vo. pp. lxi. Frontispiece, Plan of the Town and Harbor of
Louisburg (Fac simile from the New York Weekly Post Boy, June 10, 1745).
Daintily clothed in crimson and white, this little volume at once appeals to
the reader's eye. But more than this. There is not a dry page from cover to
cover. The romantic tale of the capture of this " Dunkirk of America " by the
hardy yeomanry of New England appeals to every patriotic heart. The " mad
scheme" (as Parkman styles it) astonished the world with its success. Most
assuredly, then, the dauntless heroism of our patriot sires, who feared not to
attempt the impossible, merits the polished granite shaft of Roman Tuscan
order, erected by the Society of Colonial Wars, and unveiled with impressive
ceremonies, June 17, 1895, of which dedication this book is a succinct and in-
teresting record.

The Old Bay State honors herself in issuing such a book as this. The one
thousand closely printed pages of the first volume are a veritable mine of author-
itative historical data, and l;he patriotic public will await with impatience the
completion of this monumental set.
Perhaps the uninitiated will be assisted to appreciate the colossal magnitude
of the task of compiling this work by the facts stated by Secretary Olin in the
Preface. The compilation involves the critical examination, as well as the
most careful and exhaustive indexing, of ninety-seven ponderous tomes of orig-
inal records, consisting of rolls, orders, receipts, continental regiment books,
pay accounts, company and regimental returns, description lists, orderly books
and miscellaneous papers. This monster, chaotic mass of information was re-
duced to system by means of the card record index, comprising six hundred
and twenty thousand cards. From this index the printer's copy is prepared,
and the personal war records in the published volumes are arranged alphabeti-
cally.
In crediting service to any individual, no attempt has been made to force
identification. The records are simply printed as they exist, whenever there is
the slightest doubt as to the identification of an individual, without attempting
any investigation.
It is to be regretted that the naval records, as they have come down to us, are
so meagre as compared with the military. A great part of the naval service
was performed by privateers ; hence the paucity of the records.
In an introduction of about thirty pages, Mr. James J. Tracy, chief of the Ar-
chives Division, who has had immediate charge of the entire work of compila-
tion, lucidly aud faithfully sets forth the Revolutionary War Legislation of the
Province and Commonwealth. That the acknowledgment, made by the Secre-
tary of State, of the intelligent and painstaking manner in which "the duty has
been peformed. is well merited, will be appreciated by all who have ever had
occasion to consult the Chief of the Archives or his corps of efficient assist-
ants.
The choice of binding was a happy one. Rich in its substantial simplicity
and bearing the state seal, the mechauical make-up of the book is an ideal one
— a fitting setting for a priceless gem, and this book is worthy of becoming an
heir-loom in every family whose progeuitors fought or bled for the indepen-
dence of the American republic.

Historical Sketch and Centennial Anniversary of Washington Lodge A. F. and
A. M. Boxhury, Mass., 1796-1896. Roxbury : Published by the Lodge,
1896. 1 Vol. 8vo. Pp. 255.
This -handsome volume from the press of S. J. Parkhill & Co., Boston, with
insets from the Heliotype Printing Co., is a gratifying evidence of the pros-
perity of the ancient order of Freemasons in Roxbury. Historically, the book
possesses real interest in a fac simile of the original charter signed by Paul Re-
vere, then Grand Master, and by Isaiah Thomas, the Senior Grand Warden, by
Joseph Laughton, the Junior Grand Warden, and by Daniel Oliver, the Grand Sec-
retary in 1796. In addition, the restoration is attested by S. W. Robinson, the
Grand Master, and Charles W. Moore, the Grand Secretary in 1846. This was
the thirteenth masonic lodge in Massachusetts, in order of charter, and it par-
ticipated in the public honors paid to the memory of Gen. Washington, in June,
1800. The annals of the lodge, a list of officers, another of members, chrono-
logically and alphabetically arranged, and the proceedings of the centennial cel-
ebration, 17 March 1896, comprise a worthy quantity of "valuable matter. The
historical address at the centennial by the Grand Secretary, Sereno D. Xicker-
son, A.M., is especially commendable in its clear presentation of events, impor-
tant not only to the Fraternity but also to the general public. The illustrations
of the volume are of high order, and present phototypes of Hon. Ebenezer
Seaver, the first master of the lodge, and many of his successors, a view of
the house in which the lodge held its first meetings, of the interior of its pres-
ent lodge room, and cuts of the centennial medals and the seal of the lodge.

Governor Edward Winslow : JETis part and place in the Plymouth Colony. By Rev.
Wm. Copley Winslow. Reprinted from the New York Genealogical and
Biographical Record. July, 1896. 8vo. pp. 11. Portraits.
Prudence, valor, enterprise, piety, — if the greatest of these be enterprise, then
is Edward Winslow to be accounted the greatest of the four great leaders of
the Plymouth Colony, viz.: Bradford, Standish, Winslow and Brewster ; but,
since these four virtues are of equal excellence, therefore the four men are to
be regarded as peers. Such is the contention of the author of this article whose
object is to prove this equality of merit with respect to Gov. Edward Winslow,
illustrating the point by a few eveuts in his career, principally diplomatic and
gubernatorial. The weightiest testimony to the illustrious services of Winslow
contained in the paper is adduced, as a note, in the page of extracts from the
" Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, 1574-1600." This record, together
with the various other transactions preseuted in outline, confirms the view of the
writer, implvinsj the prominence which he so fervently, but candidly, maintains.

Genealogy of the Hamilton Family, from 1716 to 1894. By Salome Hamilton.
Faribault, Minn. 1 vol. Svo. pp. 133-f-vi. Price §2.
The title is slightly misleading, as no pretension is made to chronicle all the
Hamiltous. It is a conscientious and successful attempt to record the descend-
ants, for seven generations, of James Hamilton, a Scotch-Irishman, who came
to Massachusetts, with his family, previous to 1720, and settled in Worcester
county. It is a valuable addition to the present stock of published genealogies
and deserves hearty commendation. Its chief deficiency is the absence of an
index.
Allusion is made to John Hamilton, possibly a brother to James, and a sin-
gle line of his descendants to the third generation, and five generations of
Josiah Hamilton, perhaps a son of this brother John, both of which lines, found
among the Scotch pioneers of western Worcester, are given in this little volume,
which will repay the careful study of those interested in the Hamiltons in
America.

The Puritan in England and New England. By Ezra Hoyt Byington, D.D.,
member of the American Society of Church History. Boston: Roberts

As a result of very wide reading and study of books and documents, Dr.
Byington has produced an exceedingly valuable volume. It is not cyclopedic,
covering the whole field of Puritan biography, a work of reference for all
coming students; nor is it a comprehensive survey of the whole field with
generalizations, indispensable for philosophical students of the Puritan in
history. But it is a collection of many extremely interesting facts, some of them
never so fully or so effectively told before; and it contains numerous essays —
so to speak — on various phases of the inner character and outer phenomena of
Puritans, from the middle of the sixteenth century to the birth of our republic;
essays finely thought out and finely expressed.

We continue in this number our quarterly notices of books recently published
relating to family history.
The first work on our list, the Choates in America, makes a handsome
volume, printed on superior paper, the pages being rubricated, and the work
illustrated by many fine portraits and other engravings. It is a fit companion
volume for the author's " The Cogswells in America," noticed by us October,
18S4. It has the same completeness of research and excellent arrangement of
the material. The family which produced Rufus Choate and other eminent men
deserves a fitting memorial, and Rev. Mr. Jameson has furnished one in the
volume before us. The book is from the press of Alfred Mudge & Son, and does
credit to that firm. It is furnished with good indexes.
The book on the Ashley Family is by Francis B. Trowbridge, and is, like all
of his books, a model for such works. Robert Ashley, the emigrant ancestor,
was one of the early settlers of Springfield; Mass. His posterity have held im-
9Q Book Notices. [Jan.
portant positions and have been thoroughly traced by tbe compiler of this book.
Twenty portraits and views embellish the volume. Among the features which
we notice is the fullness of the foot-notes in which authorities are given. "We
think it is the first book to give authorities for military services. An excellent-
index is furnished.
The third book is a superior specimen of book-making. It is printed on fine
paper aud is elegantly bound. Only thirty-five copies were printed for private
circulation. Besides the Reminiscences of Dr. Alvan Bond, it contains funeral
sermons and other notices of this distinguished man; Brief Sketches of Early
Settlers who are ancestors of Dr. Bond and his wife Sarah Richardson; a fac-
simile reprint of the Bond Genealogy, priuted in 1S2G. and other interesting
matter. It is illustrated with portraits and other fine engravings.
The Thomas book contains much interesting genealogical information about
various families of that name, chiefly of the middle states, Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and New York, but including some of New England, the south and west,
aud also of Eugland and Wales. The author, Rev. Lawrence B. Thomas, D.D.,
is the author of '; Genealogical Notes of the Thomas Family." The book is
well printed and illustrated with " quaint and rare portraits aud views." Much
labor has evidently been given to this work.
Col. Tierce is an indefatigable genealogist. His history of the Fiske Family
is a book similar in appearance and arrangement to his Whitney Genealogy,
which was noticed in the Register a year ago (Vol. L. page 14S). Like that
work, this one is priuted in clear type on heavy paper, is profusely illustrated
and well indexed. It contains the names of more than six thousand persons,
many of whom have been eminent in their callings. An interesting article on
the origin of the naiue is from the pen of Dr. John Fiske, the historian. Be-
sides the usual vital statistics this volume has a large amount of biographical
matter.
The book on the Butters family is, we think, the rtrst book published on that
family. Besides the descendants of the Woburn settler, some families in New
York, West Virginia, Ohio and other of the United States, are found here.
The book is well compiled and well printed, and is illustrated with fine en-
gravings.
The compiler of the Greenleaf Genealogy, James Edward Greenleaf, is a
grand nephew of Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf, D.D., of Brooklyn, N. Y., who pub-
lished a genealogy of this family in 1851. lie is a son of Rev. P. H. Green-
leaf, and a grandson of Simon Greenleaf, law professor at Harvard College.
The work is much enlarged from the former book aud is also much improved.
It is thoroughly prepared, the biographic details being particularly full. It
is illustrated by fine portraits and other engravings, and is well iudexed.
The book on the Sinclair family is by Hon. Leonard A. Morrison, to whom
the public is indebted for several other valuable volumes on local and family
history. In the volume before us he has furnished an excellent record of an
ancieut family. Besides the usual state, county, town and church records
which he has used, he has drawn much material from the pension papers in the
Pension Office at Washington, and other documents. The book is well com-
piled, well indexed aud handsomely printed. It gives a history of the family
in Normandy, France, and a record of the name in Scotland, England and
Ireland, besides the genealogy of the families in the United States and Canada.
There are 26 pages of group engravings, including 130 portraits, and other
illustrations.
Mr. Lord's " Memorials of the Family of Morse" is a good supplement to
the work of the Rev. Abner Morse, published in 1850, which now is extremely
rare and brings a very high price. Mr. Lord has arranged his matter on the
Regis fer plan and has had it printed in large, clear type, on fine white paper
•with broad margins. He has made material additions to the matter derived from
Rev. Abner Morse's book, especially in the early generations. A similar re-
vision of other lines of Rev. Mr. Morse's book is needed. Mr. Lord is now en-
gaged on the English antecedents, with more than ordinary hopes of success.
The book on the Peters Lineage is devoted to the descendants of Dr. Charles
Peters, who emigrated to this country in the early part of the last century and
settled in Hempstead. Long Island". No connection is found with other
families of the name iu this country. The book is carefully compiled and makes
a handsome volume, and has a "good index. It is a fitting memorial of an
honorable ancestry.
1897.] Book Notices. 97
The late Manning Leonard of Southbridge, whose memoir appears in the
Register for July, 1887, a descendant of Solomon Leonard of Duxbury and
Bridgewater, Mass., was engaged many years in collecting materials relating
to the descendants of his ancestor, but died before his book was published.
His children have supplied data lacking in their father's manuscript, and it is
here printed under the charge of his daughter, Miss Annie E. Leonard. It
'makes a handsome volume, well printed and clearly arranged. Xo better monu-
ment to a father's memory could he named by his children.
The book on the White family is devoted to the descendants of William White
of the Mayflower, whose sou Peregrine is noted as the first child of English
parentage boru in New England. It makes a volume of about four hundred
pages, and furnishes a complete record of the descendants of William and
Susanna White, well arranged and well printed. The entries, quoted from an
old Bible in Hartford, should be critically examined. We have serious doubts
of their genuineness.
The book on the Streeter family is by Milford B. Streeter of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The author has made researches in England and traces the family to the county
of Keut, England. The emigrant ancestor was Stephen Streeter who settled
at Gloucester, Mass., aud afterwards removed to Charlestown. The author
has beeu very successful iu collecting the records of. a widely scattered race.
The volume is well arranged and has a good index.
The Colegrove book is by the Rev. Dr. Colegrove of Tallula, 111. Much in-
formation about this family is here preserved. It is well printed and embel-
lished with a number of portraits. It has an index.
The book on the Giftbrd family is the result of several years which the author
has devoted to the collection of data about the family. He has given us a fine
book. He is endeavoring to form a Gifford Historical Society and this book
is a good prelude.
The first edition of the Harwood book was published iu pamphlet form in
1879. The author was a young man then. He has since continued his re-
searches and issued a new edition much improved aud enlarged. The book is
illustrated with several fine portraits.
The book on the Orton family is by Edward Orton, LL.D., Professor of
Geology in the Ohio State University. The book is well compiled. To the
several sections are prefixed tabular pedigrees which serve as indexes of the
matter contained in them. The author states that his aim has beeu to make
the work accurate and reliable.
The book on the Swain family, with notices of several allied families, is a
work of much merit. The emigrant ancestor of the Swain family was Jeremiah
Swain who settled in Charlestown, Mass., as early as 1G38, and later removed
to Reading, beiug one of the first settlers there. The book has an iudex.
The book on the Hull family contains a record of over one hundred and
thirty families, and six hundred and fifty-four descendants, extending over a
period of two hundred and sixty years. The verso of each page is lelt blank
for additions and corrections. The families are separated by red lines. The
book is well compiled and makes a good appearance.
The book on the Clark family is by Rev. Edgar W. Clark of Pana, Illinois.
Samuel Clark, whose descendants ore here recorded, as early as 1G3G was a set-
tler of Wetherstield. Ct., thence removing to Stamford and Milford, and after-
wards to Hempstead, Long Island. The geueaiogy here printed is the result
of a gradual gathering of more than twenty years. This work of love does
credit to the author.
The book on the Pynchou family is a brief record of the famous family de-
scended from William Pynchon, the founder of Springfield, Mass. Appended
is a notice of the Holyoke family and a letter of Major John Pynchon dated
October, 1673, during King Philip's war. It is an interesting book.
The book on the Thayer family is devoted to one branch of the Thayer family
of Taunton, Mass., and" is intended as a memorial of the father, mother and wife
of George Thayer of Rochester, N. Y. A limited number of copies has been
printed. It makes a handsome volume.
The author of the book on the Townsends is Malcolm Townsend of New York
city, author of " An Index to Curious Facts in United States History, Histori-
cal, Geographical and Political." It is an interesting collection of facts con-
cerning the Townsends of England and America.
98 Book Notices. [Jan.
The book on the Lillie family is by Hon. Edward L. Pierce, author of Me-
moir and Letters of Charles Sumner. It was prepared " to perpetuate the hon-
orable memory of a brave soldier of the Revolution/' and to preserve a record
of his descendants. It makes an interesting volume. The first edition was is-
sued in August last, and the second in the following December.
The Fuller book contains much valuable matter. Rev. Daniel Fuller, whose
diary and portrait are here given, was a descendant of Thomas Fuller, of whose
genealogy a record by the Rev. Arthur B. Fuller, brother of the talented Marga-
ret Fuller, was printed in the Register for October, 1859. pp. 351-63. The
book contaius an account of the descendants of Thomas Fuller by the author
of the diary; the Meditations of Thomas Fuller and Advice to his children in
verse (1688), besides other matters. It is printed in old style and makes a
beautiful volume.
The.book on the Steiner family is by the late Hon. Lewis H. Steiner, M.D.,
LL.D., librarian of the Enoch Pratt Public Library, and his son and successor
Bernard C. Steiner. Ph.D. It is a carefully compiled book. It contains first,
sketches of the early history of the Steiner family in Germany; secondly, early
Steiner settlers iu America: thirdly, an account of Jacob Steiner, the emigrant
ancestor, with a record of his descendants. The reputation of the authors is a
guarantee that the work on this book is performed in the most conscientious
manner.
The Roberts book is the result of an investigation commenced more than
twelve years ago. The result of the search, up to that date, was printed in the
Register iu July, 18SS (pp. 2-12-8), in an article by the late Lewis A. Roberts
of New York. The search has been continued to the present time, with grati-
fying success, by Mr. Starr. The book is well arranged and handsomely
printed.
The next book, by Mr. Bailey, of Boston, contains carefully compiled accounts
of Thomas Ruggles and his younger brother John, both early settlers of Rox-
bury, Mass., and their descendants, and of Alitheah Smith, wife of Thomas
Buggies. An article on the descendants of Samuel Ladd is also given. Mr.
Bailey deserves much praise for the thorough work he has done.
The Bohun Wills contains copies of the wills of Humphrey de Bohen, Earl of
Hereford, who married Margaret, daughter of Edward I. of England, and other
early Bohuns related to him. with remarks by Mr. Bigelow. the compiler. This
is a reprint from the Americau Historical Review, Vol. I., Nos. 3 & 4, 189G. A
tabular pedigree accompanies this pamphlet, tracing the ancestry of the com-
piler to Edward I., and to several noble families of England. The pedigree has
been admitted to record at the Heralds' College, London. The pedigree is
embellished with symbolical designs.
Mr. Drummond's pamphlet on the several John Rogers families in Plymouth
and vicinity, though small in size, is the result of much labor. There were so
many by the name of John Rogers in Plymouth, Duxbury, Marshfield, Wey-
mouth and Scituate in their early history, and they have so often been con-
founded, that Judge Drummond determined to clear up the mystery, and by
much research succeeded in separating the different individuals. He prepared
a paper on the subject which was read before the Maine Historical Society, and
is here reprinted from their Proceedings.
The Notes on the Pillsburys of Leek give, among other matters, abstracts of
some wills of Staffordshire Pillsburys, obtained some years ago and verified in
1894 by Mr. Putnam. The information in these wills is tabulated.
The work on the Chatfield family gives the descendants of George Chatfield,
who with his brothers Francis and Thomas settled at Guilford, Conn., in 1G39.
It is well compiled, and is illustrated with several fine portraits. It has an
index.
The Wiggin pamphlet is issued by a committee appointed at the reunion of
the descendants of Gov. Thomas Wiggin in 1895. It has some genealogical
matter, with several portraits and a map.
The pamphlet on the descendants of Walter Allen is a well compiled gene-
alogy. A Society of the Descendants of Walter Allen has been formed, and
a larger volume on the same subject is hoped for.
The next pamphlet gives the proceedings at the second annual reunion of
descendants of Capt. Munsou in August last, the first reunion having been held
August 17, 1887 (see Register, vol. 42, p. 224). A Munson genealogy in two
large octavo volumes had been published in the winter preceding this second
reunion (see Register, vol. 50, p. 240).
1897.] Recent Publications, 99
The pamphlet on the Descendants of Rear Admiral Thomas Graves is by Mr.
Putnam of Salem, who has had much experience in such work. A large fokli&g
pedigree helps much in understanding the relationship of persons whose record
is given.
The next pamphlet is a supplement to the Culbertson genealogy, an octavo of
over three hundred pages, by the same author, published in 1893.
The Alden-Fuller Record gives some records of two Mayflower families and
will be interesting to many people.
The next pamphlet is devoted to the descendants of Christopher Chester of
Boston and Lancaster. Mass. His sou John was born in Boston, Aug. 13, 1796.
and died in Dedham, Dec. 81, 1S83.

author, published in 169o and noticed in the Register, vol. 47, p. 382.
The Elderkin pamphlet is a record of the descendants of one of the founders
of Connecticut, who came to New England as early as 1G37. The author is
John Elderkin of New York city, journalist aud author, who is of the eighth
generation. The work is written in uarrative form aud is highly interesting.
It makes a handsome pamphlet.
The work on the Yoorhees family is another handsome pamphlet. It is by
Rev. Louis Bevier Voorhees, secretary of the Directors of Lawrence Academy
and Vice Presideut of the Groton Historical Society. It gives his line of de-
scent from Coert Albert van voor Hees of Euinen in Holland, whose son Steven
emigrated to Long Island, X. Y., and died at Flatlauds, Feb. 10, 1684. The
record is well prepared.
The Maryon book is well described by its title. The author, John Ernest
Maryon, of Heartsease Park, Biloxi, Miss., U. S., or 17 Tottenham Court Road,
London, Eng., solicits new facts or correction of errors, as he hopes to pro-
duce a larger and more perfect record.
The pamphlet on Capt. Reade, U. S. N., gives a record of the ancestry of that
gentleman aud of the revolutionary services of his aucestors.
The Brackett pamphlet gives a uotice of the early Bracketts settled in New
England, aud a record of some descendants of Anthony Brackett of Portsmouth,
N. H.
The Dana Chart gives the descendants of William Dana, who married Mary
Baucroft, Nov. 28, 1770. It was compiled in 1S70 for their centennial anni-
versary.

DEATHS.
Miss Sarah Loring Bailey died in
Taunton on Sept. 8, 1896, and was
buried in North Andover. She was
the daughter of Otis Bailey and Lucinda
Alden Loring, and was born at Ando-
ver, Mass., in the North Parish (now
North Andover), April 22, 1834. She
was educated in private schools and at
Franklin Academy in Andover. Her
life work was that of a teacher. She
had more than ordinary mental powers,
and always worked with conscientious
fidelity and zeal, and with much suc-
cess, until finally her health failed.
She was a writer of ability, and was
the author of M Historical Sketches of
Andover, Mass." Boston. 1880.
Martha Skinner Corey, widow of Solo-
mon Pcndre Corey (Register, xxvi. 102)
died at Maiden, Mass., August 21,
1896. She was born in Maiden, May
1, 1815, and was the last survivor of
eleven children of Thomas and Han-
nah (Cheever) Waite. She was de-
scended in the seventh generation from
Capt. John Wayte, one of the original
settlers of Maiden, and his wife Mary,
daughter of Joseph Hills, the compiler
of the Massachusetts Laws of 1648.
By her mother she was a descendant of
the celebrated New England peda-
gogue, Ezekiel Cheever, through his
son the Rev. Thomas Cheever, the first
pastor of Rumney Marsh (Chelsea).
Her grandfather, Joseph Cheever, as
Lieutenant, led a company at Bunker
Hill, and was in command of a company
at Valley Forge and at Trenton. All
her lines of ancestry extended to the
early settlers of New England and em-
braced the well-known names of Boyl-
ston, Brooks, Gardner, Holyoke, Tut-
tle, Sargeant, Sprague, Oakes and
others. By her father she was descend-
ed from four of the Mayflower passen-
gers — John Tilley and his wife, and
John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland,
and if the wife of Tilley was the daughter
of John and Katherine Carver, as some
authorities find reasons to believe, two
names may be added to the Mayflower
ancestry. Mrs. Corey had one child, a
son, who survives her.
Hannah (Drew) Hutchings, a genealo-
gist of some note, who was born in
Newfield, Me., Dec. 31, 1826, died in
Kittery, Me., Aug. 19, 1896. Her pa-
rents were Andrew and Margery Pep-

an.
perrell (Wentworth) Drew. Maternally
she was descended from Andrew Pep-
perrell. brother of General Sir William
Pepperrell, and married June 10, li>49,
Foxwell Curtis Wilson of Kittery, Me.
They had two children, of whom the
son, Ervin I., (with his wife and chil-
dren) are the only survivors. Several
years after the death of her husband
she married, in 1S66, Daniel Hutchings,
whom she survived.
Mrs. Hutchings's love for ancient
things and cjenealoirical lore was of life-
long duration. Her earliest known
work was the liberal assistance she
gave Hon. John Wentworth in his ad-
mirable two volumes on the Wentworth
family, which he acknowledged. In
the compilation of my works on the
Sparhawks and Cutts "families she was
greatly interested, and rendered assist-
ance of undoubted value without which
the work would have been sadly incom-
plete. Among her unpublished works
are brochures on the families of Wil-
son, Drew, Hutchings. Curtis and Pep-
perrell. She was only prevented by
infirmities of age from publishing all
she wrote. Her traits were among
those belonging to the sturdy New
Englanders passing away.

Mrs. Amelia Augustine McIntire died
at Cambridge, Mass., 6 November,
1896. She was born on Sullivan's Isl-
and, Charleston (S. C.) harbor, 1 March,
1803. She was daughter of Lieut. Louis
Landai<, U.S.A., wife of Ebenezer Mc-
Intire, Esq., of Cambridge, and mother
of Hon. Charles J. McIntire, Judge of
Probate for the County of Middlesex.
On her mother's side Mrs. McIntire was
a descendant in the sixth generation of
the Puritan, John Taicot, who came
with the Rev. Thoma> Hooker's Brain-
tree company to •• Newe Towne," and
built his house where is now the cor-
ner of Brattle and Ash streets, in 1030 ;
was one of the first board of selectmen,
and a deputy to the General Court. In
1637, he accompanied Hooker to Hart-
ford, and his son, Lieut. Col. John Tai-
cot, was the commander-in-chief of the
Connecticut forces in the Pequot war.
She was fourth in descent from Hon.
John Read of Boston, attorney- general
of the province from 1722 to 1727, who
married Ruth, the daughter of Col.
Talbot. Capt. Charles Morris, of Bos-
ton, married Mr. Bead's daughter Mary ;
they were the gref.t-grandparents of
Mrs. McIntire.
Capt. Morris took a company, under
Pepperrell, from Boston to the seige of
Louisbourg in 1745. He remained in
Nova Scotia, became a member of the
governor's council for twenty-seven
years, and chief justice of the supreme
court. Mrs. Mclntire's maternal grand-
father was Dr. Alexander Abercrombie
Peters, surgeon U.S.A. Mrs. Mclntire's
paternal grandfather was a judge and
consul at St. Domingo. Col. Tonsard,
U.S.A., who came to this country with
Lafayette, organized the artillery force
of the continental army under Wash-
ington, and lost an arm at the battle of
Long Island, was a cousin to Louis
Landais, of an ancient French family,
who received his military education in
France and his commissions as second
and first lieutenant of artillery and en-
gineers from Presidents Adams and
Jefferson. Both of these commissions
are still in good preservation in the
hands of her son.
Mrs. McIntire received a superior
education and her rare grace of man-
ner, high-bred courtesy and charming
disposition won her a great many
friends, as was shown by the large at-
tendance at the funeral services at St.
Peter's Church, Cambridge. About fif-
teen years ago she became blind, which
misfortune she bore with patience and
cheerfulness. Her ninetieth birthday
was made the occasion of a celebra-
tion and gathering in her honor. She
was a pious and sincere christian, a
kind and indulgent mother, and a lov-
ing and constant friend. G. A. G.
Miss Emily Seaver, of Rutland, Vt., died
in that city on Thursday, December 3,
1S06. She was the only daughter of
Norman aud Anna Maria (Lawrence)
Seaver, and was born in Charlestown,
Mass., on November 5, 1835. She spent
her early life in Boston and its neigh-
borhood, but went to Rutland with her
mother in the year 1SG0, in order to
make a home for her brother, the Rev.
Norman Seaver, who had been then just
called to be associate pastor of the Con-
gregational Church. Her mother was
a daughter of Hon. Luther Lawrence,
of Groton, the eldest brother of Amos
and Abbott Lawrence, and she had a
wide circle of friends and kinsfolk in
Boston.
Miss Seaver was a woman of strong
intellectual powers and rare literary
taste, and htr loss will be felt in many
different walks of life. Apart, how-
ever, from her cultivation and strength
of mind, she will be remembered best
for her conscientious and Christian life.

Richard Warren of Fordington, Dorset, husbandman. 6 December,
1636, proved 3 May, 163S. I give aud bequeath towards the reparations
of the church at Fordington six shillings aud eight pence and to the poor
of the same parish six shillings aud eight pence. To my daughter Mary
Bartlett wife of John Bartlett six shillings and eight pence and no more
in respect I have bought my copyhold tenement in Fordington for her
life and she hath married without my consent. I give and bequeath
unto John Cox, sou of John Cox of Bockhamptou and of Elizabeth his
wife, one other of my daughters, the sum of twenty pounds. To William
Cox, another of their sons, twenty pounds. Item I give aud bequeath
unto my daughter Johau wife of Edward (sic) Sprage six shillings and
eight pence and to the children of the said Edward Sprage and of Johan
his wife which shall be living at the time of my decease the sum of twenty
shillings apiece. To my godchildren William Swann, Richard Cosens and
Christopher Sampson aud unto Margaret Wills daughter of Richard Wills
of Fordington twelve pence apiece. Item, upon condition that the said
John Bartlett and Mary his wife, my daughter, do permit and suffer mine
executors quietly and peaceably to hold and enjoy the copyhold tenement
wherein I now dwell and to take the whole profits thereof for the space of
six months next after my decease, I give and bequeath unto my said daugh-
ter Mary the sum of ten pounds, to be paid unto her within one year next
after my decease. The residue of my goods &c. I give to Eve my now
wife and to the said Elizabeth Coxe my daughter whom I make sole ex-
ecutors. Friends Mr. William Jolliffe of Dorchester, woollendraper, and
Thomas Sarvant the youuger of Charminster to be overseers.
Lee, 54.
[A curious mistake has been made here. Mr. "Warren's daughter Johan was
the wife of Ralph Spragne, not Edward as given above. But Ralph was a son
of Edward Sprague, as we see from the latter's will given in my Gleanings for
April, 1895 (Keg., vol. 40, p. 2G4). The names of father and son seem to have
been confounded. From Lechford's Note-Book (pp. 36-38 as printed) we learn
that Ralfe Sprague, sometime of Fordington, Dorset, fuller, afterwards of
Charlestown, X. E., planter, and his wife Joane, daughter of Richard Warren,
sent power of attorney (*-0-lG33) to Mr. William Derby of Dorchester (Eng-
laud), gentleman, to demand and receive such portions as might come to them
from Warren's estate and remit the same through Sprague's sister Alice Eames,
at Pomberry Mill, near Dorchester. A letter was sent the same day by Ralfe
Sprague to his sister Alice about this matter. In August, lGfO "(Lechford
p. 301), Ralfe Sprague and his wife Joane made John Holland of Tiuckleton,
Dorset, fuller, an attorney to receive of John Cox of Bo-wlington and Eliza-
beth his wife, executors of Richard Warren deceased, seven pounds given by
his will to the said Joane and her children John, Jonathan, Richard, Samuel,
Mary and Phineas, or any oth.-r sum due unto them.
For the reference to the foregoing will I am indebted to Mr. F. J. Pope, who
kindly assisted me about the Cole wills in the October number of the Register
for 1805. — II. F. W.
See in the Register foi July, 1850, p. 230, a letter to Ralph Sprague, from
John Corbin, dated March 25,"lG51. Corbin calls himself a " father in law" to
Sprague. Query— Did Corbin marry the widow of Richard Warren?— J. W. D.]

[This gives me an opportunity to correct two misprints'Jn former Gleanings.
The name Ange was turned into Auge on padres 422 and 424 of the Register for
1892 (vol. 46). The above Richard Ange was somehow related to the Smith
family of Stratford upon Avon to which belonged the William Smith who
married a maternal aunt of John Harvard, his brother Francis Smith whose
daughter Mary became the wife of our George Wyllys (see Reg., vol. 46, pp.

[The George Willis of Fennie Compton here referred to must have been the
sou of our Governor Wyllys of Connecticut. Just how the relationship was
between Combe and Willis or Wyllys I hare yet to learn, but I have recalled to
mind that years ago I took off "the reference to an earlier will of one of this
Combe family, no less a person than Shakespere's friend John a Combe, which
I now give. He was evidently the uncle of the foregoing testator.

[I suppose the John Bourne (son of Robert and brother of Nehemiah) whose
will, proved in 16G7 (Carr 129) I have given, on pp. 112-13, was that John Bourne
of Wapping, mariner, who, with (Thomas) Hawkins of Dorchester (Mass.),
had a suit against Nicholas Hewett of Dorchester, shipwright, in 1G39, as ap-
pears by Lechford's Note-Book, page 116 (as printed). His brother Nehemiah
Bourne was a shipbuilder in Charlestown (Mass.) and also in Dorchester. I
notice in the Note-Book (at bottom of p. 193) a reference to the Register,
Vol. xxvii., pp. 2G-3G. On page 195 (as printed) of the Note-Book is a note
of letter of Attorney made by Katherine Earwing of Dorchester, widow
to Nehemiah Bourne of Dorchester, merchant, and Anthony Earwing of Lon-
don, mariner, to recieve all moneys due to her in England. Compare now
Nehemiah Bourne's will (1G91), in which he makes a bequest to his niece
Martha Earuing (so far as the Register of Wills shows I could not have told
whether this name was Earuing or Earning). In the same will mention is
made of a Captain Nehemiah Earuing (or Earning). This therefore may serve
as a pointer in looking up the English origin of the Earwings. Ou page 203
(as printed) of the Note-Book I find that a John Bourne was bouud (in 1G39)
to Mr. Nehemiah Bourne for six years to be instructed in the trade of a ship-
wright. On the same page of the Note-Book I learn that Mr Nehem : Bourne
authorized his wife Hannah to receive debts, &c— H. F. W.

Towards the close of Queen Elizabeth's reisn, the Roman Catholics of Ul-
ster, under O'Neill, Prince of Ulster, known as Hugh (Aodh), Earl of Tyrone
(Tvi-Owen), broke into rebellion, and after great resistance were finally over-
Come and their possessions in the northern counties of Ireland were escheated
to the Crown, by act of Parliament in the reign of James Eirst. James deter-
mined to make these lands a Protestant settlement, and offered a large portion
to the city of London for that purpose.
In 1609 the Mayor and citizens of London erected a company, known as the
Irish Society, obtained a charter in 1G13, under which they acted until 1037,
when it was revoked by the Star Chamber Court. In 1GG2 a fresh charter was
granted under which the Society has acted in the present century.
The Society was principally composed of the twelve Great Livery Companies
and the small companies then existing.
One of the Great Companies was that of the Ironmongers, whose share was
held jointly with the companies of Brewers, Scrivners, Cowpers, Pewterers,
Barber Surgeons and Carpenters.

The assessment made upon the undertakers in 1613 was £10,000, one twelfth
being on the Ironmongers and their associates above-mentioned, or £3334.
Their division of lauds was numbered seven, and comprised some fifty town
lauds, and was created a manor in 1615 called the 4i Lizard."
After the troubles caused by the Irish Rebellion of 1041 had subsided, the
manor house and all the dwellings of the company having been destroyed, and
in 1650 the Ironmongers, appointed Richard Hutchinson and Thomas Glover to
meet with the committees of the other companies, as to the state of affairs, and
his signature appears sigued to a remonstrance of the companies that year. In
the previous decade between 16-12 and 1646 a series of subscriptions of Adven-
turers for Lauds in Ireland aud for sea service at that period contained two
subscriptions of £100 each, by Richard Hutchinson, Ironmonger, of London.
In an account of the adventurers in the County of Tipperary, about 1654, to
Richard Hutchinson was assigned land in the Barony of Iffa aud Offa in the south

CHAELES STEWART DAVEIS.
By Dayid G. IIaskins, Jr., A.M., of Cambridge, Mass.
Charles Stewart Daveis, the only child of Captain Ebenezer
and Mehitable (Griffin) Davis, was born in Portland, Maine,. May
10, 1788. His parents were both of Essex County stock. Capt.
Ebenezer Davis, his father, was the eldest son of William Davis,
a farmer in southern Xew Hampshire, probably descended from an
Amesbury family ; and of Jane Stewart, a granddaughter of Dun-
can Stewart, the early shipbuilder of Rowley. Mehitable Griffin's
ancestors, — the Griffins, Kimballs, Hazens, and Peabodys, — were
also of Essex County. Her father, Ebenezer Griffin, was deacon
of the church in Bradford, Mass., and it is worthy of note that,
included in the modest inventory of his personal effects, was "a
right in the library in Bradford." Ebenezer Davis, named for his
maternal grandfather Ebenezer Stewart, became of age just about
the beginning of the Revolutionary war, and joined the Minute-
Men of Bradford, several months before the breaking out of hostili-
ties. He served, with credit, through the entire war ; at Bunker
Hill and the siege of Boston ; in the campaign of Long Island,
Trenton, and Princeton; at Saratoga and in the expedition for the
relief of Fort Schuyler ; at Valley Forge and Monmouth ; with
the Light Infantry at Yorktown ; and in the cantonments on the
Hudson. Beginning as a private soldier, he rose to be sergeant,
ensign, and lieutenant; and also served for a time as brigade
quartermaster. After the war he removed to Falmouth, now Port-
land, where he became Master of the Masonic Lodge and captain
in the militia. He died in Portland, after a lingering illness, Nov.

142 Charles Slew art Daveis. [April,
14, 1799, aged only forty-five years ; and was long remembered as
a thorough soldier and a man of distinguished appearance.
His widow was a woman of strong character. Though left poor,
she exerted herself to give their only son, Charles, then eleven years
old, a good education. The boy received his early instruction in
Portland ; and in June, 1802, went for one year to Phillips Academy,
Andover. In 1803, he entered the newly-founded Bowdoin Col-
lege, and was graduated in 1807, at the head of its second class.
AYhile in college he read widely and showed a marked fondness for
literature and the classics, — receiving the sobriquet of "Grecian
Daveis." The programme of the commencement exercises of 1807
is in the writer's possession. The class numbered only three mem-
bers ; and not only were they all graduated with honor, but each
man had two parts. Mr. Daveis, as the first scholar, delivered a
valedictory oration on " The Infirmity of Theory," and a poem on
"Tradition/' A year later, September 6, 1808, he delivered in the
College Chapel, before the Peucinian Society, of which, while an
undergraduate, he had been the principal founder, an oration on
Greek literature, which established his reputation as a scholar. " In
those silver tones," said one who was present, — "then first heard by
me, — now so familiar to every Bowdoin student, he thus began :
* In the evening, the Athenian exiles used to sing, Iomen eis
Athenas.'" The oration was published the next year in the Monthly
Anthology, of Boston, then the leading literary publication in the
country, with a most complimentary editorial introduction. The
young orator was elected a corresponding member of the Anthology
Club ; and was invited to write for the magazine. The scholarship
and ability displayed in the oration so impressed George Ticknor,
that he sought an introduction to the author ; and the acquaintance
thus formed developed into a most warm and intimate lifelong
friendship. In 1810, Mr Daveis took the degree of Master of
Arts, and delivered an oration on " The Genius of our Political
Liberties," in which he combined poetical fancy with deep legal
research-.
In the meantime, immediately on leaving college, he had entered
the law office of Nicholas Emery, afterwards a justice of the
Supreme Court of Maine ; and in 1810 was admitted to the bar in
Portland, where he practised his profession for forty years with
great ability and success until compelled by ill health to abandon it.
At the famous bar of Cumberland County, Mr. Daveis took high
rank : and, by his ability, learning, and untiring industry, acquired
a distinguished reputation. A profound student, he gathered a
large and valuable library, and showed in his legal arguments the
results of exhaustive investigation, — convincing his hearers by his
able reasoning and abundant illustrations and citations. In ad-
dition to his common law practice, he devoted much attention to
admiralty law, in which he achieved marked success. He became
■

known as a fearless advocate of the rights of sailors, who were then
liable — when at sea — to much ill treatment ; and so vigorously did
he defend their cause that he incurred, it is said, the ill will of some
of the sea captains, who were even thought to have formed a plan
to abduct him. But it was perhaps as an equity lawyer that he ac-
quired his chief reputation. He was almost the first in the state to
engage in this branch of the profession, which was viewed with
distrust by the older members of the bar, and which consequently
made but slow progress. So eminent was his success in the study
and practice of the system, that his friend, the late Hon. Charles
Sumner, pronounced him the best equity lawyer on this side of the
Atlantic.
He had not been long at the bar when the War of 1812 brought
anxiety and apprehension to the little seaport town, which still
remembered Capt. Mowatt's bombardment in 1775. Mr. Daveis's
letters give interesting glimpses of the period : — of the English frig-
ates hovering oifthe Cape and seen from Munjoy Hill ; of the U. S.
brig Enterprise coming in with her prize, II. B. M. brig Boxer;
of the imposing funeral procession of the two captains, and his
watching with Kervin Waters, the mortally wounded boy-midship-
man of the Enterprise ; of the panic in the town, and the flight of
many of the inhabitants, — his mother, as became a soldier's widow,
wishing to remain to the last : of the drilling of the company of
exempts, to which he belonged ; of the gathering of large militia
forces in the town, and preparations for defence and fortification.
" Portland no longer seems to be itself," he wrote ; " all our ordinary
occupations are suspended. Even the usual intercourse of society
is interrupted.''
At the close of the war, June 1, 1815, Mr. Daveis was married
at Exeter, X. H., to Miss Elizabeth Taylor Oilman, the youngest
daughter of John Taylor Oilman, the great Federalist Governor of
New Hampshire, and his wife Deborah, daughter of Major General
Nathaniel Folsom. Two of the bride's sisters were already settled
in Portland — one as the wife of Mr. Daveis's instructor in the law,
Nicholas Emery, the other as the wife of the Rev. Dr. Ichabod
Nichols, pastor of the First Parish.
Mr. Daveis's active mind was by no means confined to professional
labors. He delivered addresses on several occasions, in which the
grace of his manner and the beauty of his language excited the
admiration of his hearers. July 4, 1812, he gave the oration before
the Federal Republicans of Portland ; May 19, 1825, at Fryeburg,
at the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of Capt. Lovewell's
battle with the Indians ; August (J, 1820, at Portland, on the death
of Adams and Jefferson; and again July 4, 1831, at Portland.
In 1820, he was chosen one of the board of overseers of Bowdoin
College, of which body he later became Vice President. He was
also interested in military matters; and, in 1818, was appointed
144 Charles Stewart Daveis. [April,
division inspector, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, on the staff of
Major General Samuel Fessenden, commanding the twelfth division
of Massachusetts militia: which position he retained till 1827,
when his friend Enoch Lincoln became Governor of Maine, and
Mr. Daveis was named as the senior aide on his staff. It may have
been this trifling circumstance — the acceptance of this ornamental
sinecure — that brought him into connection with events which
materially affected his whole future career. For in this year the
great dispute with Great Britain over the northeastern boundary of
the United States reached an acute stage. An American citizen,
John Baker, was arrested by an armed force from New Brunswick,
on his own land situated within the disputed territory, and which
he held by grants from Massachusetts and Maine ; and carried to
Fredericton for trial. Gov. Lincoln sent Col. Daveis as a special
agent of the State, with a letter to the Lieutenant Governor of Xew
Brunswick, and with instructions to demand the release of Baker,
and to obtain information as to British aggressions on the territory
claimed by the State of Maine. The journey from Portland to
Fredericton, in those days and at that season, was equal to a trip
across the continent to-day. Mr. Daveis left Portland. Nov. 16,
1827, on a brig for Lubec ; and thence proceeded to Eastport,
Calais, and St. Stephen. There hiring a guide and saddle horses,
he set out across the country to Fredericton, a distance of over
eighty miles, arriving on the 25th ; after four days' travelling,
partly on horseback and partly on foot, over very hard roads
through the woods. The English Lieutenant Governor of Xew
Brunswick, Major General Sir Howard Douglas, a veteran officer,
who had served in Spain with Sir John [Moore, declined to receive
officially an agent from the State of Maine ; and it must be admit-
ted that Gov. Lincoln's action was an extreme assertion of the doc-
trine of State Rights. At the Lieutenant Governor's desire, howr
ever, Mr. Daveis was received with distinguished politeness by the
military officers, civil officials, and gentlemen of the town. From
Fredericton he proceeded to Houlton and Woodstock, and suc-
ceeded in obtaining some sworn testimony of value in the case.
But, in the absence of official recognition, he could not accomplish
much ; and lie returned in January, 1828, without securing the
release of Baker, who was tried and convicted. Col. Daveis pre-
sented to Gov. Lincoln a long report containing much valuable
historical information concerning the matters in dispute.
The Governments of the United States and Great Britain sub-
mitted the controversy to the arbitration of the King of the Nether-
lands ; and the Hon. Albert Gallatin and Judge William P. Preble
were appointed commissioners to prepare the American case. Judge
Preble was subsequently appointed by President Jackson minister
to the Hague, and desired to have Mr. Daveis as secretary of lega-
tion. The latter declined to accept the office ; but at the earnest

desire of the judge consented to go out as special confidential agent
of the United States, to take charge of the materials of the American
case, and to lay them before the arbiter. Sir Howard Douglas was
summoned from New Brunswick by his Government and sent to
the Hague in a similar capacity. Mr. DaAreis, after visiting Wash-
ington for his documents and instructions, sailed from New York,
Jan. 11, 1830, on the ship Formosa and reached Havre safely on
the 8th of February. Plis private journal, kept on the voyage,
written in a spirit of the most reverent religious faith and the
tenderest domestic affection, is sacredly preserved by his descend-
ants. He reached the Hague, March 13, passing on his way
through Paris, where lie was kindly received by Lafayette. He
remained about a month aiding in the final preparations for present-
ing the American case ; and, having completed his official duties,
visited Levden, Utrecht, Bruges, and other interesting places in
the Netherlands ; and then spent a little more than two months in
England and Scotland, passing much time in attending the Courts
of Law and the sessions of Parliament. He heard Dr. Chalmers
preach, and listened to Lord Brougham, Peel, and Wilberforce.
He also made the acquaintance of many of the eminent men of the
day, including Southey, Sir James Mackintosh, Sir Astley Cooper,
and Jeffrey of the Edinburgh Review. Sidney Smith he found very
entertaining. Lord Stowell, the great admiralty judge, presented
him his portrait in a fine steel engraving. Sir Walter Scott took
him to the Old Cross of Edinburgh, to witness the ceremony of pro-
claiming the accession of King William IV. July 11th, he sailed
for home and arrived safely in Boston, August 26.
He returned to the active practice of his profession, in which in
1841 he associated his 6on, Edward H. Daveis, with himself in
partnership. William Pitt Fessenden and Phineas Barnes were
anion" the young men who studied in his office. And he resumed
his literary avocations, for which, with tireless industry, he always
found time. Judge Story, who had the highest opinion of his legal
and literary attainments, characterizing him at another time as "an
excellent lawyer, a thorough scholar, true to the Law, to all good
principles, and to all good men,'' desired him to accept a professor-
ship in the Harvard Law School ; but he felt it best, for various
reasons, to decline the suggestion. In 183G, he was chosen a trustee
of Bowdoin College, a position which he retained till 1864, when
failing health caused him to tender his resignation. He gave an
oration, Sept. 1, 1835, before the Alumni Society of the College,
on its formation, of which Judge Story wrote : "It is full of strong
and vivid thought, and enough to put me upon study and reflection
for a fortnight of full leisure. It has all the impress of your genius
fresh from the mint, and adds a new claim to your former efforts
upon the gratitude of the scholars of our country." At the in-
auguration of Leonard Woods, in September, 1839, as President
vol. li. 13*
146 Charles Stewart Dave is. [April,
of the College, he delivered an address in Latin, — a remarkable
feat for one whose thirty years of absorbing professional and public-
labors had left little time to maintain his familiarity with the
classics.
Meantime the King of the Netherlands had made an award,
which was virtually a suggestion of compromise : and which was
unsatisfactory to both countries. The United States refused to ac-
cept it ; and the controversy remained unsettled, — a constant menace
and irritation. At last a bill was introduced in the United States
Congress, providing for a national survey of the boundary line.
The Hon. Edward Kent, Governor of Maine, thinking this a favor-
able opportunity for an extraordinary effort on behalf of the State,
with the advice of the council, April 25, 1838, appointed Mr.
Daveis a special messenger and agent to carry to Washington a
claim for the repayment by the General Government of certain sums
of money paid to Baker and others by the State ; and also, in con-
junction with the Maine senators and representatives in Congress,
to urge the passage of the bill for running the North East boundary
line of the State ; and the necessity for establishing fortifications
and military posts, and a military road in Maine. Armed with a
commission, under the great seal of the State, and bearing letters
to the President and Maine delegation in Congress, as well as private
letters of introduction of a most flattering character, Mr. Daveis
went to Washington, in May, and for two months labored earnestly
and efficiently to accomplish the objects of his mission ; of which,
on his return, he rendered to the Governor a long and valuable
official report. "I think," said Gov. Kent, "I can confidently say
that no agent or envoy ever labored more diligently or more intelli-
gently or efficiently than he did By "his earnest per-
suasions, he induced both Mr. Vv'ebster (on the 4th of July) and
Mr. Buchanan and others, to espouse our cause elistinctly and
earnestly in strong speeches. He alone brought the whole question
out of its narrow locality in the State into a national matter, regarded
as one of interest to the whole country .... I have always
believed that Maine owed more to him than to any other man in
thus bringing the whole subject before the Nation and compelling
action." The passage of the bill could not be secured ; but the
money claimed was paid to the State, and the Hon. James Buchanan,
chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, presented a long
and able report (the proof of which Mr. Daveis corrected at the
Senator's request), which strongly maintained the right of Maine,
and embodied resolutions which were unanimously adopted in both
branches. Mr. Daveis returned home to receive the unstinted praise
and commendation of the Governor, and leaving behind him so
pleasant an impression that Mr. Buchanan wrote him later that he
cherished his acquaintance as one of the green spots in his life.
In 1839, he was the candidate of the Whiles for the State Senate,
-
1897.] Charles Stewart Daveis. - 147
from Cumberland County: but failed of an election. In the fol-
lowing year he was nominated again and elected. As chairman
of the Joint Special Committee on the North Eastern Boundary, he
submitted a report of fifty-five pages ; containing an able and calm
defence of the rights and conduct of the State, and criticising the
report of the British surveyors with a dignified yet withering scorn,
worthy of Cicero.
In 1839, and later, he was summoned to conferences with Mr.
Forsyth, Secretary of State, and with his successor, Mr. Webster.
At last, in 1842, the Ashburton Treaty disposed finally of the great
question in which for fifteen years Mr. Daveis had taken so warm
an interest, and to which he had devoted so much of his best thought
and labor that Gov. Kent pronounced him to have known more
about the history, facts, arguments, and state of the controversy than
any other man in the State or Nation. He was not satisfied Avith
the settlement ; but accepted the disappointment in the spirit of a
patriot and with the dignity of a gentleman. ''Can I say more in
the spirit of truth and sincerity," he wrote to Gov. Kent, Sept. 1,
1842, "except to persuade myself, as I would fain do, that it will
all prove, under the great controlling hand that guides and directs
all human movements, for the best ; and to cherish the devout trust
that it will prove equally fur the peace and welfare of the country
to which Maine has been called to make this important sacrifice ?"
An amusing instance of his ready wit was related by Gov. Kent,
in some reminiscences of his connection with the controversy. When
Gen. Scott passed through Portland on his way to the frontier, Mr.
Daveis called on him in company with John Neal, the well known
lawyer and poet. As they were not personally acquainted with the
General, they agreed to introduce each other. "This gentleman,"
said Mr. Xeal, "is my friend, Mr. Charles S. Daveis, who knows
all about the North Eastern boundary." "And, Gen. Scott," said
Mr. Daveis on the instant, "this is my friend, John Xeal, who
knows everything else."
In 1848, Mr. Daveis actively supported the candidacy of Gen.
Taylor for the presidency. He attended the National Convention,
and was nominated on the Whig ticket in Maine as one of the
electors-at-large. Being in Washington, in attendance on the
Supreme Court, he saw the Inauguration, and paid his respects to
the new President. The bluff old soldier is said to have expressed
afterwards his satisfaction at receiving a call from one gentleman
who did not ask for an office. "Found ," he wrote home dur-
ing his stay in Washington, "amidst a nest of politicians, of whom
I was glad to get out of the way ; and congratulated myself on
being out of the way up here."
He was at this time much interested in a memoir of Gen. Henry
Knox, embracing a history of the artillery service in the war of the
Revolution, which he had undertaken to prepare for Mr. Sparks's
•
148 Charles Stewart Daveis. [April,
Library of American Biography. The General's daughters had
placed their father's papers in his hands, and he made extensive and
unwearied search for further materials. But business cares, the
very comprehensive and painstaking character of his investigations,
and finally his own ill health, prevented its completion. The family
papers were returned, and the more valuable part of his own col-
lections are now deposited in the safe of the New-England Historic
Genealogical Society, under the name of the "Daveis — Knox"
papers.
While thus engaged, Mr. Daveis sustained a shock of paralysis,
April 2$, 1850, which partly deprived him of the use of his right
side. He recovered in some measure from the attack, but never re-
sumed the practice of the law. He continued, however, his active
literary labors and his extensive correspondence. Among other
papers he prepared a memoir of his wife's father, Gov. Gilman,
which was read before the New Hampshire Historical Society on
the hundredth anniversary of the Governor's birth, Dec. 19, 1853 ;
and, the following year, an able historical address for the dedication
of King Chapel at Bowdoin College. In 1851, he was chosen
Vice-President of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati, in
which he had early succeeded to his father's membership, and in
1853 succeeded Robert G. Shaw as President. The following year,
he was elected Vice-President General of the Society ; retaining
both the last named positions till his death.
Under the burthen, however, of advancing years and increasing
infirmity, he gradually ceased to take an active part in life. Mrs.
Daveis, whose health had long been feeble, died April 3, 1860;
and, after a few more years of growing weakness and enforced
inactivity, endured with unmurmuring Christian resignation, on the
29th of March, 1865, he quietly passed away in his native town,
and on the site of his father's old home, at the age of nearly seventy-
seven years,
Time and space would fail, to tell of all the useful positions that
he filled, and the essays and addresses that he wrote in his long and
active life. Prose and poetry, law, literature, religion, history, public
affairs, — all received his attention ; and the newspapers and period-
icals of the day, the North American Review, and Appleton's Cyclo-
paedia, contain abundant evidence of his literary ability and industry.
His writings were scholarly and classical, prepared with great care,
afld so worded as to express the most delicate shades of meaning.
His literary and historical attainments were recognized by his col-
lege, to whose interests he was always warmly devoted, and which
made him President of the Phi Beta Kappa, and of the Alumni
Society, and in 1841 conferred on him the degree of Doctor of
Laws ; and by his election to membership in the historical socie-
ties of Maine, Xew Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, and
Georgia. In religion, he was a Unitarian of the old school. In

politics, a strong Whig, but not an extreme partisan. "I never
conceived," he wrote, "that the party to which I belonged monopo-
lized all the talents, virtue, religion of the country." "One of
the best men of Xew England, a man after my own heart in every-
thing but politics," wrote George Bancroft, then a leading Demo-
crat, frhe never sacrificed the duties of friendship or the nice sense
of rectitude to the spirit of party." While opposed to abolitionist
excesses, he "hated slavery, and would not consent on any con-
sideration under Heaven to have it extended one inch further."
His personal character was very strong, yet wonderfully gentle.
Incapable of fear, active in body and mind, with a capacity for
great mental exertion, and strenuous for the right as he understood
it ; he was, at the same time, most tender in his affections and
feelings, and respectful and moderate in tone towards his opponents.
His rare courtesy disarmed rudeness. His pure and reverent spirit
could not tolerate an impious word or an unbecoming jest. His
religious faith was unwavering, and his reverence profound ; and
the heroic patience and cheerfulness with which he bore bereave-
ment and helplessness in his last years, were the strongest proof of
the vital power of his religion. His manners were courtly, dig-
nified, and elegant : and he always bore himself, under all provo-
cation, as a Christian gentleman.
He had a wide circle of friends, including such men as George
Ticknor, Judge Story, Charles Sumner, Alexander H. Everett, and
Stephen Longfellow, father of the poet ; and it has been said of
him that he never lost a friend except by death. His pleasant sunny
home on Free Street was the scene of a refined and cordial hos-
pitality, where he delighted to receive his friends and men of note
in literature and public affairs, and where he entertained his visitors
with conversation abounding in wit, anecdotes, and classical quota-
tions.
The Hon. Joseph W. Symonds, late Justice of the Maine Supreme
Court, in a brief review, a few years since, of the earlier days of
the Portland bar, well said of him, that he was "a man whose name
will linger long, who mingled taste and refinement and all the graces
of personal and social elegance with learning and genius in the
practice of the legal profession, more than any other man who ever
lived in Maine.""
Mr. Daveis had five children, as follows :
(1) John Taylor Oilman Daveis, born in Portland. 21 March. 1816;
University of Pennsylvania Medical School, 1837; married 11
October, 1847, Miss Frances E. Gordon of Portland, and died 9

THE WILL OF ALEXANDER SELKIRK,
WITH A FACSIMILE.
Henry F. Waters, A.M., contributed to the Register for Octo"1
ber, 189C> (Vol. 50, pp. 539-40), an abstract of the will of Alexan-
der Selkirk which he had discovered on record at the Prerogative
Court of Canterbury, Somerset House, London, and also some
minutes on the life of Selkirk, furnished him by his friend, Mr.
William Dean of London.
To the Register for January, 1897 (Vol. 51, pp. 74-5), Mr.
Lothrop Withington contributed some details of Selkirk's life after
his return to England, particularly concerning his sweetheart Sophia
Bruce, and his wife Frances Candis.
Mr. William Dean some months ago applied to the authorities of
Somerset House for permission to have a photograph taken of
Selkirk's will on file there. They kindly granted this permission, and
a photograph was made. A copy of this was sent by Mr. Dean to the
Society and another to his friend, Mr. Waters. It is of the exact
size of the document itself, 8 inches by 12 inches. The original is
^somewhat tarnished by age. We have had a reduced photo-
engraved facsimile made, an impression of which accompanies this
article. It is evident from the date and the probate of the will
that Selkirk died between December 12, 1720, and July 28, 1722.
Nicholas Kendall in 1722 was archdeacon of Totness or Totton, and
Samuel Whalley was then prebendary of Exeter, both in the diocese
of Exeter.

THOMAS JEFFERSON AND JAMES THOMSON CAL-
LENDER.

Callender to Madison.
Petersburg, April 27th, 1801.
Sir
I was extremely happy to hear that you had accepted of an office
under the new presidency; because, besides the very important reasons of
a public nature, I was interested in having one person among them, whom
I could without hypocrisy profess to feel an attachment for, and to whom
I could address myself without a suspicion of being suspected.
It is now seven weeks since I had a written message from Mr. Jefferson
with a solemn assurance that he " would not lose one moment" in remits
ting my fine. Upon Weduesday was a week, a very eminent character in
Richmond, whom you know as well as you can know anybody, spoke to
Mr. Jefferson about it in Charlottesville. He has since wrote me the
answer which he received, and which in fact had no meaning.
Upon the faith of the first promise, I wrote up to Mr. Leiper that I would
send him this money in part for the boys. I have now found it necessary
to write him an explanatory card, which contained only these words:
"Mr. Jefferson has not returned one shilling of my fine. I now begin to
know what Ingratitude is."
I am justified in using this stile, by the opinion of Governor Monroe, of
his brother who said it was impossible the money would be taken ; and of
the Gentleman who spoke to the president at Charlottesville, who said it
was a most surprising thiug as he ever heard of, that the money had not
been returned. By the advise of this gentleman, I wrote a letter to Mr.
[George] Jefferson upon the subject, which, as he writes me, he delivered
with his own hand. As it was probably to be the last which I should write
Mr. Jefferson I took unusual pains to make it both guarded and explicit.
It had not a syllable which could give ground for offence; and while I de-
scribed the treatment which I had received in Richmond, and the situation
into which my exertions in the cause had brought me, I think the story
should have reached the heart of a millstone. I might as well have ad-
dressed a letter to Lot's wife. I am obliged to speak plain, for necessity
has no law.
Does the president reflect upon the pre munire into which he may bring
himself, by the breach of an unqualified, and even a volunteer promise?
For, as I said to you in my last letter, in february, I neither demean my-
self to ask the remission as a favor, nor did I think it proper to claim it as
a right. Does he reflect how his numerous and implacable enemies would
exult in being masters of this piece of small history? I will not injure him
by supposing that he cares a farthing for anything which I feel; but the
ridicule which I underwent in Richmond about it, was one of my reasons
VOL. LI. U
154 Jefferson and Cullender. [April,
for my coming down here. It had been imprudently reported, in Rich-
mond, as the opinion of an eminent lawyer, that the president was not
authorized to return the money. I asked this gentleman, who is, by the
way, at the head of the profession. He answered that he had given an
opinion directly contrary ; that he had not the smallest doubt of the legality ;
and that he was never more astonished at anything in his life than that
there should exist any kind of hesitation upon the head of a remission.
Such, sir, is the language of Mr. Jefferson's own most intimate friend,
and of his warmest admirers! "What then will be the language of the
world? And all. President as he is, he may trust me if he pleases, that I
am not the man, who is either to be oppressed or pluudered with impunity.
Mr. Jefferson has repeatedly said that my services were considerable ; that
I made up the best newspaper in America; (Fie could not mean that the
Examiner was of equal importance as the Aurora) with other things of
that kind; I could wish him to reflect that my services may be wanted
again; that Charles the Second, by his treatment of Butler, (who never
was nine months in prison on account of his Majesty,) has covered his name
with a superaddition of ignomony. I had no more idea of such mean usage
than that mouutaius were to dance a minuet. I am not, to be sure, very
expert in making a bow, or at supporting the sycophancy of conversation.
I speak as well as write what I think ; for God, when he made me, made
that a part of my constitution. But Mr. Jefferson should recollect that it
is not by beaux, and dancing masters, by editors, who would look extremely
well in a muslin gown and petticoat, that the battles of freedom are to be
fought and won.
I have always, as yet, assured everybody, that I am confident of the re-
mission. And quitting a subject that must hurt your feelings, I have only
to add that I have just heard that Mr. Davis of Richmond, has got notice
that he is to quit his situation in the Post office ; that this is one of the few
situations which I would think myself qualified to fill ; and that it would
just about afford a genteel living for an economical family. It cannot be
pretended that I am too late in application. But, indeed, my dear sir, I
have gone such desperate lengths to serve the party, that I believe your
friend designs to discountenance and sacrifice me, as a kind of scapegoat
to political decorum as a kind of compromise to federal feelings. I will tell
you frankly that I have always suspected that he would serve me so; and
so rooted has been my jealousy upon this head, that if ever I am to be the
better of the new administration, I shall be much disposed to ascribe it en-
tirely to you. I cannot reconcile this non-remission with the high idea of
the president's wisdom which I have always had; for surely a wiser man,
or one more likely to make an excellent magistrate, does not exist. His
probity is exemplary. His political ideas, are, to the minutest ramification,
precisely mine. I respect and admire him exceedingly; but although I
have exhausted all my humble arts of insinuation, he has on various occa-
sions treated me with such ostentatious coolness and indifference, that I
could hardly say that I was able to love or trust him. I never hinted
a word of all this to any human being but yourself; for notwithstanding
the occasional rattle of my tongue, I can keep, what I design to keep, as
well as anybody.
You can take your own time to think of what has been said respecting
the Richmond Post office. I need not add, I am sure, that I would pay
the strictest attention to every part of the duty. And surely, sir, many
syllogisms cannot be necessary to convince Mr. Jefferson that, putting feel-
*• ..

ings and principles out of the question, it is not proper for him to create a
quarrel with me.
"VVe have here a most wretched postmaster. I speak from personal
knowledge. The whole town is horribly tired of him. It is six months
since I advised Mr. Field to apply to the new administration for his
place. Mr. Field, in whose house I am now writing, is a young man of
a fair character, of the mildest and most amiable manners, united with
inflexible intrepidity. I have not been here a fortnight, and he has got
message upon message, entreating him to have nothing to do with me. I
could not, when I first knew Mr. Field, recollect the name of the person
to whom, in some traits of his appearance he bears a striking likeness. It
was Bache. But Mr. Field is not surrouuded by duns; and he is capable
of feeling and of blushing.
If this letter breathes an unbecoming asperity, I intreat you, sir. to
recollect what lengths I have gone to serve the cause, and in what way it
is likely to serve me. As soon as I hear that you are gone back to the
federal city. I shall do myself the honor of paying you a visit; unless some-
thing occurs in the meantime, to render it improper, or superfluous. With
great respect, I am. Sir, &c.
John Shore to John Strode.
Petersburg, May 8th, 1801.
Sir
I received a letter by post the day before yesterday from Mr. Thos.
Field of this town, dated May oth at Fredericksburg, inclosing one he had
received from you a few days before, wherein he requests that I would
write you as to his general conduct in this place.
Mr. Field has resided in this place I believe not quite two years yet. in
which time he has, as far as has come to my knowledge, conducted himself
with propriety, & has with becoming attention, application & industry
prosecuted his business, with the firmness & inflexibility of a republican
printer. He was unfortunately involved about twelve months ago in a
dispute, the result of which proved fatal to his antagonist; but it ap-
peared on an examination of the unhappy transaction, before the proper
tribunal, that it was in Mr. Field a justifiable act of self-defence. This
however, excited among what is called the Federal party in this town, a
considerable degree of resentment against him, but it really did appear to
me to be the result of political prejudice only. The thing is now talked of
no more, and Mr. Field receives not ouly, but supports the republican
cause, with energy & respectability. I am, sir, &c.
Jxo. Shore.*
* " Mr. Field, printer of The Republican, in that town, was refused bail, for the pretended
murder of Thomas Cross, of which he has since been honorably acquirted. He had been
publicly assaulted in the market place, by Mr. Cross, who was a much stronger man. The
circle of aristocrats, one of whom was a magistrate, stood aronnd, to enjoy the victory;
nor did they once offer to interfere, until Mr. Field was forced to pull out a pistol and shoot
the aggressor. Thus Cro.-s was, in reality, killed by his own friends. Mr. Field was in-
stantly apprehended. The most ample security for his appearance was refused. He was
thrust into a stinking hole, eight feet wide, which is dignified with the title of a prison.
He was kept there for several weeks, before bail could be accepted. And it was the firm
persuasion at Petersburg, that all this bustle was made for the gratification of Scotch and
Anglo federal revenge."— Prospect Br-fore Us, II. ; 149.

Petersburg, May 7th, 1801.
Sir
I enclose two newspapers. They contain a consummate specimen of
the custom house of this place. They cannot fail of conveying to the presi-
dent a complete idea, if he wanted one, of the official merit of Mr. Heath;
and 1 trust he will admit that, in this instance, I have rendered a service to
the country. The materials had been sent us just before I was first ar-
rested, and lay by till now.
My reason for intruding at this time, (as after the letter of last week, I
did not mean to trouble you for a very long time) is this.
On Tuesday last, Randolph sent for me to the custom house to get the
money, which it seems he has received orders to pay. I did not chuse to
go there alone, as that very forenoon, the faction had published a piece
recommending me to a drubbing. So I went to General Jones. He was
ready, he said, to go with me; but that the card ran in such a stile as no
gentleman should answer. Another gentleman, to whom I applied, made
the same observation. Upon this, I held myself justified in writing Ran-
dolph to bring or send up the money. But I understand that he has set
out for Richmond; so I am as far from it as ever. I spent several weeks
idle in Richmond waiting for it, before I came here, and left a proper
authority with Mr. Pleasaut's to receive it for me. I had been more the
better of an hundred dollars paid with promptitude, than to get two hun-
dred with the loss of so much time, and so much temper, with so much im-
pertinence both from friends and enemies. Were the last five years to act a
second time, the tribe of Benjamin should retire to " the rock Rimmon "
before I should interfere to hinder rascals from ridding the world of each
other.
I am exceedingly ashamed and sorry for laying such a disagreeable tax
upon your time.
I have the honor to be Sir

Dear Sir
In mine of the 2 2d I forgot to write on the subject of Callender,
tho' I had reserved that, for some time, to make a part of the letter.
D. M. R[andolph] has contrived to put the money in such a situation that I
find we could not lay our hands on it without giving room for specious
Criticisms. That would be a gratification to which he is not entitled. It
will moreover strengthen the reasons for laying the whole subject before
Congress that they may not only refund but indemnify the sufferers under
the sedition act. To take from Callender particularly all room for com-
plaint I think with you we had better refund his fine by private contri-
butions. I enclose you an order on Gibson & Jefferson for 50. D. which
I believe is one fourth of the whole sum.

Jefferson to Monroe.
Washington, May 29, 1801.
Dear Sir:
Since mine of the 20th Cullender is arrived here. He did not call
on me ; but understanding he was in distress I sent Cap* Lewis to him with
50. D. to inform him we were making some inquiries as to his fine which
would take a little time, and lest he should suffer in the meantime I sent
him &c. His language to Cap1 Lewis was very high toned. He intimated
that he was in possession of things which he could and would make use of
in a certain case : that he received the 50. D. not as a charity but a due, in
fact as hush money; that I knew what he expected, viz. a certain office,
and more to this effect. Such a misconstruction of my charities puts an
end to them forever. You will therefore be so good as to make no use of
the order I enclosed you. He knows nothing of me which I am not
willing to declare to the world myself. 1 knew him first as the author of
the political progress of Britain, a work I had read with great satisfaction,
and as a fugitive from persecution for this very work. I gave to him from
time to time such aids as I could afford, merely as a man of genius suffer-
ing under persecution, and not as a writer in our politics. It is long since
I wished he would cease writing on them, as doing more harm than good.

Monroe to Jefferson.
Jas. Monroe's best respects to Mr. Jefferson. As the person [i. e.
Callender] for whose benefit the inclosed was intended has left this for
Washington it is thought best to return it. It is presumed that everything
appertaining to that object will be settled at Washington with that person;
but should the contrary be the case, and it be proper to execute anything
here, J. M. will with pleasure attend to it when notified thereof.
, Richmond 1 June, 1801
Yours of the 29 is just received. It is to be regretted that Capt.
Lewis paid the money after the intimation of the payer of his views &c.
It will be well to get all letters however unimportant from him. Merri-
wether Jones is or will be by the time this reaches you at Washington.
He has that ascendancy over the wretch to make him do what is right,
and he will be happy to do it for you. Confide in him without reserve as
a man of honor. Mr. Giles will also be up iu a day or two. Your reso-
lution to terminate all communication with him is wise, yet it will be well
to preveut even a serpent doing one an injury.
Jefferson to Monroe.
Washington, July 15, 1802.
Dear Sir
Your favor of the 7th has been duly received. I am really morti-
fied at the base ingratitude of Callender. It presents human nature in a
hideous form. It gives me concern because I perceive that relief, which
was afforded him on mere motives of charity, may be viewed under the
aspect of employing him as a writer. When the Political progress of
158 Jefferson and Callender. [April,
Britain first appeared in this country it was in a periodical publication
called the bee, where I saw it. I was speaking of it in terms of strong
approbation to a friend in Philadelphia, when he asked me if I knew that
the author was then in the city, a fugitive from persecution on account of
that work, and in want of employ for his subsistance. This was the first
of my learning that Callender was author of the work. I considered him
as a man of science fled from persecution, and assured my friend of my
readiness to do whatever could serve him. It was Ions after this before I
saw him, probably not till 1798. He had in the meantime written a second
part of the political progress much inferior to the first, and his history of
the U S. In 1798. I think I was applied to by Mr. Leiper to contribute
to his relief. I did so. In 1799, I think Sftevens] T[homson] Mason
applied for him. I contributed again. He had by this time paid me two
or three personal visits. When he fled in a panic from Philadelphia to
Gen1 Mason's he wrote to me that he was a fugitive, in want of employ,
wished to know if he could get into a counting house or a school in my
neighbourhood or in that of Richmond ; that he had materials for a
volume, and if he could get as much money as would buy the paper, the
profit of the sale would be all his own. I availed myself of this pretext to
cover a mere charity, by desiring him to consider me a subscriber for as
many copies of his book as the money enclosed (50. D.) amounted to; but
to send me two copies only, as the others might lie till called for. But I
discouraged his coming into my neighbourhood. His first writings here had
fallen far short of his original political progress and the scurrilities of his
subsequent ones began evidently to do mischief. As to myself no man
wished more to see his pen stopped: but I considered him still as a
proper object of benevolence. The succeeding year he again wanted money
to buy paper for another volume. I made his letter, as before, the occasion
of giving him another 50. D. He considers these as proofs of my appro-
bation of his writings, when they were mere charities, yielded under a
strong conviction that he was injuring us by his writings. It is known to
many that the sums given to him were such and even smaller than I was
in the habit of giving to others in distress of the federal as well as the re-
publican party without attention to political principles. Soon after I was
elected to the government, Callender came on here wishing to be made
postmaster at Richmond. I knew him to be totally unfit for it: and how-
ever ready I was to aid him with my own charities (and I then gave him
50. D.) I did not think the public olfices confided to me to give away as
charities. He took it in mortal offence, and from that moment has been
hauling off to his former enemies, the federalists. Under the letter I wrote
bim in answer to the one from Gen1 Mason's, I wrote him another con-
taining answers to two questions he addressed to me. 1. Whether Mr. Jay
received salary as chief justice and envoy at the same time; and 2. some-
thing relative to the expenses of an embassy to Constantinople. I think
these were the only letters I ever wrote him in answer to volumes he was
perpetually writing to me. This is the true state of what has passed be-
tween him and me. I do not know that it can be used without committing
me in controversy as it were with one too little respected by the public to
merit that notice. I leave to your judgment what use can be made of
these facts. Perhaps it will be better judged of when we see what use the
tories will endeavor to make of their new friend. * * *

JOHN CURTIS OF ROXBURY, MASS., AND HIS FAMILY,
By Howard Redwood Guild, Esq., of Boston, Mass.
So much of interest regarding William and Sarah (Eliot) Curtis
of Roxbury has been unearthed, and written, it seems strange that
little or nothing has appeared in print about their son, John Curtis,
and his descendants.
The search by the writer for documentary evidence of his descent
from William and Sarah Curtis, through John Curtis, revealed ad-
ditional facts which may have interest for others.

England; died 1711-1730; married 1st. 1661, 26 Dec, at Boston, Rebecca

ried 2d, 1677-1662, Dorcas Peake (born 1639 in Roxbury), daughter of

I enclose some rough notes as to the Newport " L anglers,""
based on an obituary notice which appeared in the Register, 1857.
It lacks completeness, and I am in hopes, if you print it, that some-
thing more may be elicited from your numerous readers.
Peter King, of Boston, by wife Mary , b. May 9, 165S, had sev-
eral children, of whom were:

beth (Davis) Wing, and grandson of Robert) ; ber eldest son, Robert
Wing, b. Dec. 20. 1699, said to have left descendants in the vicinity of
Little Choptauk, Md. Her second husband was John Langley, from Tops-

b. in England, Jan. 27, 1077, and owued the covenant in the New North
Church, Boston, July 12, 1717; he probably hired from the town the wharf
and flats at foot of Cross street, laid down on Bonner's map of 1722 as
"Lee's Ship Yard"; he had been in the navy, but subsequently was a
ship-master running to Port Royal and Jamaica, W. I. ; he died, in his

NATHANIEL WOODWARD OF BOSTON, AND SOME
OF HIS DESCENDANTS.
By Theron Royal Woodward, Esq., of Chicago, 111., Member of the New-England His
toric Genealogical Society.
No effort has been made by the writer to ascertain from what
part of England came Nathaniel Woodward, senior, and his sons
John, Robert and Nathaniel. It is hoped that the publication of
the following may brin<r to the surface intelligence throwing some
light on this point. If seems probable that they were all of age
before leaving England, and that they were among the first settlers
in Boston. Nathaniel Woodward, jr., had wife Mary in Boston
before 1644. The New-England Historical and Genealogical
Register, Vol. xlix., page 263, gives the will of Samuel Jackson
of Boston, England, dated 7 August, 1642. He gives to his sis-
ter Mary "now Mary Woodward, living in Boston, New Eng-
land," or to her child or to his brother Elisha, etc. If this be the
Mary wife of Nathaniel Woodward, jr., it might be an indication
♦ Son of Dr. Rossiter Cotton, the grandson of Rev. John and Joanna (Rossiter) Cotton,
of Boston.

that these "Woodwards came from Boston, England. As the writer
is engaged on a Woodward Genealogy, any corrections or additions
to this article will be gratefully appreciated.
1. Nathaniel Woodward, of Boston. Had lot assigned him 30
Nov. 1635, in Boston. 21 March, 1636, said lot and others not being
built upon, the lots are free to be otherwise disposed of.
He was admitted a Freeman April 17, 1637.
He was a mathematician and surveyor employed, as Col. Rec. i. 237
shows, to run the line, 1G3S, between Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay
Colonies; also between Massachusetts and Connecticut. Afterwards was
sent to the Merrimac survey. (Savage's Genealogical Dictionary.)
Court, Boston 6 Sept. 1638. Goodman Woodward and others ordered
to lay out southernmost part of Charles River and also to lay out line north
of Merrimack.
Oct. 10. 1638 Nathaniel Woodward mathematician and others reported
to the court at Boston on the southerly survey.
May 18, 1639 he was on jury in Boston.
6. June 1639 the court at Boston ordered paid to Goodman Nathaniel
Woodward 3 pounds for the Merrimac survey and 10 s. was added by
order of the Gov. and Deputie.
5 Nov. 1639 court at Boston ordered 20 s. paid John Gardner for carrying
Goodman Woodward's instrument to Ipswich and other services.
2 June 1641 court at Boston ordered that Lieft Willard, Sergt Collerst
and Mr. Holman with Goodmau Nathaniel Woodward lay out the south
line, or any three of them, so as Goodman Woodward bee one. Also em-
powered them to treat with Indians, etc.
14 Juue 1642 court ordered that Goodman Nathani Woodward and
others set down the bounds between Charlestowne and Linn as may be
most convenient for them both, etc.
Note. In the Bouudary line dispute between Massachusetts and Con-
necticut in the following century it was stated that Woodward and Saffery
the surveyors " were obscure sailors." With what authority I know not.
Sep. 1. 1657 he took inventory of Estate of Nicholas Barby.
Tt would seem from the following records taken from " Suffolk County
Deeds" and "Records of Brookliue" that Nathaniel was both surveyor
and carpenter.
8th of the lltb month called Jan. 1637 occurred the great allotments at
Muddy River (a hamlet of Boston. Name changed to Brookline Nov. 13,

The family traced herein removed to Taunton, Mass., at an early
date, and as the town records of Taunton, previous to 1838, were
destroyed by fire, it is difficult to arrive at satisfactory conclusions

of their new home.f
In the following pages I propose to outline their history and
antecedents in England, as well as to illustrate the connection
which existed between them. Of the Batts we have a singularly

182 The Families of Batt and Byley. [April,
good and strong pedigree. To the Byleys I have paid less close
attention, but they show a line of three well proved generations in
Old England, and no doubt a full study of their earlier wills would
enable us to carry this back another generation or two.
The Batts of the t? Bevis " were preceded by one of their name,
Nicholas Batt of Devizes, Wilts., who came in the "James" from
Southampton, in April, 1635,* and, as they were both from Wilt-
shire, and the later emigrants went at once to Newbury where
Nicholas Batt had settled, it was conjectured, with much show
of reason, that they were brothers, or at least near kin,f a theory
in which I myself shared and which I have been much surprised to
find, on close investigation, was without foundation. If there were
any connection, and it seems very probable that all the Wiltshire
families of the name were of a comigerous stock, this was certainly
not more recent than a century prior to the emigration and so falls
in the dark and stormy period of the Reformation, making its abso-
lute proof a very difficult if not impossible task.
That the history of the Batts of Devizes is not more exhaustive
is due to no lack of effort on my part, as I spent no less than three
days in that place endeavoring to make a thorough search of the
parish registers, not only of St. John the Baptist, the church with
which the family were particularly identified, but also those of St.
Mary's at the other end of the town. Most unfortunately, how-
ever, Dr. J. H. Burges, the rector of both churches, was a very
busy and much overworked man, being at the moment without a
curate to lighten his labors, and while most courteously helpful, he
was very properly unwilling to allow me to see the registers except
in his presence, and I was therefore obliged to do the work in hur-
ried stints of an hour or two at a time when he could find leisure
to attend me. I was in consequence only able to see the baptisms
and earlier marriages at St. John's, and did not reach St. Mary's
at all, it being impossible for me to devote more time to the work
on account of engagements elsewhere. It is my hope however, on
eome future visit to England, to renew and complete this search
and thus round out the details of this most interesting family.
In the meanwhile, the more important family from Salisbury
being practically complete, I submit these notes to my fellow anti-
quaries, as another humble contribution to the history of our early
New England pioneers, in the hope that they may prove both of
interest and of use to some student of the genealogy of one or both
of the families named.

* The Hospital of St. Nicholas, in the Liberty of the Close of New Sarum, is one of the
few early ecclesiastical establishments which have survived to our own day, and antedates
the foundation of the Cathedral, its origin being ascribed to Bishop Poorc (1217-1229), and
it was certainly in existence as early as 1227. It escaped the general spoliation under
Henry VIII., and was finally granted a new charter April 3, 1G10, which it still holds. It
is composed of a Master, six Brothers and six Sifters.— (See Hoare's Modern Wilts, vol.
vi., pp. 46-314, and Dugdaie's Monasticon, vol. vi., pt. 2, p. 778.
t The registers of the church of St. Mary's were not seen at all (as previously stated),
owin? to lack of time. They exist from 1509.
J This entry is exactly as recorded, but I believe it to be an error and that, in all proba-
bility, either the names of the two children who are thus grouped together have been reversed
and should read William White and Christabell Batt, or that possibly this entry is a
marriacrc misnlaced among the baptisms. In support of my theory see will of John Batt
in P. C. C. (Wallopp 21.)
{ Pottern lies about two and a half miles south of Devizes on the Westbury road. The
two entries above were the only instances of the name of Batt found in the period searched,
which comprises the whole of the first volume of the registers. My cordial thanks are
due to Canon Inman, the vicar, for his courtsey and aid in the search.

SHAW FAMILY.
MIDDLEBOROUGH, MASS.; WINTHROP, ME.
By Hon. Archie Lee Talbot, of Lewiston, Me.
Capt. Abraham Shaw was born in Middleborougb, Mass., Aug. 10,
1757, and settled in Winthrop, Me., about 1798.* He was enrolled in the
" Second Minute Compauy " of Middleborough. Mass., and at the " Lexing-
ton Alarm" made on the 19th of April, 1775. he marched with his com-
pany to Marshfield under command of Capt. Isaac Wood; and June 17th
was in Capt. Isaac Wood's company, in Col. Theophilus Cotton's regiment,
in the battle of Bunker Hill. He served with rank of sergeant in Capt.
Amos Washburn's company, from Middleborougb, in Col. Ebenezer Sprout's
regiment, in muster of Dec. 8, 1776. on occasion of the capture of New-
port, R. I., by the enemy ; find was sergeant in same company and regiment
at the alarm at Dartmouth, Mass.. Sept. 17. 1778: also sergeant in same
company in Col. Ebenezer White's regiment that went to the defence of
Rhode Island on the Alarm by order of the Council, July 22, 1780; and
was captain of the seventh company from Middleborough and adjoining
towns from July 1, 1781, to 1787. His name appears on the muster and
pay rolls as ''Abraham Shaw, Jr." He was the son of Abraham Shaw
who was born in Taunton, Mass., March 1, 1729-30, who died in Middle-
borough, July 8, 1808, and his wife Sarah, daughter of Samuel Barrows.
Jr., whom he married Nov. 1, 1753; grandson of Samuel4 Shaw, born in
Weymouth, Mass., 1698, and died in Taunton, Mass., 1730, wife Elizabeth
; great grandson of Benjamin Shaw, born in Weymouth, June 16.
1670, died in Taunton, June 16. 1728, and his wife Hannah (Rogers).
There is strong evidence that Benjamin3 was the son of John2 and Alice
(Phillips) Shaw of Weymouth, and that he shared in the division of his
father's estate in 1705. John2 was the son of Abraham,1 but was not of age
when his father made his will in 1638. Joseph, John, Mary and Martha
are therein named children of Abraham Shaw formerly of Halifax, York,
England, one of the signers of the Covenant at Dedham, Mass., at the time
of incorporation, 1636, who probably came to this country the previous
year.

is indebted to Hon. M. F. King, Portland, Me.
192 Shaw Family. [April,
Capt. Abraham Shaw married, Sept. 16, 1783, Miss Hannah Miller, born
in Middleborough, Mass.. March 25, 1765, daughter of John and Zilpah
(Tinkham) Miller of Middleborough. Mrs. Shaw was a lineal descendant
in both paternal and maternal lines from John Howland, one of the signers
of the Compact on board the Mayflower "at Cape Codd ye 11 of November
XXAno. Dora. 1620." Her paternal great-grandmother Priscilla (Flow-
land) Bennet and her maternal grandmother Hannah (Howland) Tinkham
were daughters of Isaac and Elizabeth (Vaughan) Howland, and grand-
daughters of John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland, who were pilgrims of
the Mayflower. John Tilley, father of Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland, and
Peter Brown, father of Mary (Brown) Tinkham, were also signers of the
Compact on the Mayflower. Mrs. Shaw's father, John Miller, was a
soldier in the French and Indian War in 1758, in Capt. Benjamin Pratt's
company from Middleborough, in Col. Thomas Doty's regiment.
[John4 Miller was born in Middleborough, Mass. Dec. 7, 1737, and died in
Middleborough, Dec. 1, 1807, in his 70th year. His wife Zilpah, daughter of
John, Sen., and Hannah (Howland) Tinkham, whom he married in 17G4, was
born August 5, 1737. and died November 2G, 1818. He was a son of John3
Miller, born in Middleborough, Oct. 28, 1704, who died in Middleborough,
April 7, 1794, and his wife Priscilla, daughter of Peter and Priscilla (Howland)
Bennet, who died in Middleborough, October 7, 1744. aged 45 years, whom he
married in 1735; grandsou of John- Miller, born in Middleborough 16G9, who
died in Middleborough, August, S, 1727. and his wife Lydia, daughter of Francis
Coombs of Middleborough, who died March G, 1734, in her 56th year, whom he
married Feb. 12, 1701-2; irreatgrandson of John1 Miller, who was born in
England, and his wife Mercy. He died in Middleborough, May 11, 1720, in

Middleborough, Mass.]
Capt. Shaw, after his marriage with Hannah Miller, resided in Middle-
borough, Mass., for about fifteen years, and seven of their twelve children
were born there, and five iu Wiuthrop, Me. The name of Abraham Shaw.
does not appear on the tax list of Winthrop until 1798, and this with the
fact that his daughter, Hannah, born in 17U7, was the last of the children
recorded iu Middleborough, shows very conclusively that he came to Maine
about 1708. Capt. Abraham Shaw never received a pension for his ser-
vices in the war of the American Revolution, as he died in Winthrop, Me.,
April 8, 1813, at the age of 5G years, before the Act pensioning officers and

The foregoing are all that now remain on the gravestones of the Old

Note. — This list of stones was taken by my father for his own use and not
for publication, hence the words "In memory of," "Here lyes ye body of," and
"departed this life," do not appear, and only a few of the epitaphs. These
Btones are of dark blue slate. Only one, that of Wm Jenkins, is of white marble.
The epitaph of Elizabeth, 2d wife of Lemuel Jeukins and daughter of Zaccheus
May hen, reads as follows ;
"Could blooming Years aud modesty
And all thats pleasing to the eye
^r Against grim deatli ben a defence
Elizabeth had not erone hence
The God that nave her called her home
Whose pow'r divine shall burst this tomb
Then Pheonex like from Parent dust
She'l soar on high to God most just."
One other stone, probably placed there after the list was made, reads as fol-
lows : "Mr. Benajah Dunhan died April — , 1799, a? 94 yrs. Erected by Joseph
Dunham, his areat graudson, 1849." This does not, however, agree with the
date given in the Rev. Joseph Thaxter's Diary of Deaths. Parson Thaxter says :
"Benajah Dunham died January 27, 1^02. of old aire, aged about 93" and adds :
"This man has been the oldest in this Towu for 10 years in which Time 170 have
died younger than he was." The date uiveu, Jan. 27, was the date of the
funeral and not of death which was probably the day before.
The three graves marked by "rough stones" are doubtless those of members
of the Dunham family. "1769, L.D." was probably intended for Lydia Dunham,
first wife of the above named Benajah Dunham. She died, or was buried, Oct.
3, 1769, a^red about oo years. "1766, B. P. {'/D.) S3" no doubt was intended for
Benajah Dunham, who died Feb. 8, 1766, aged about 80. "1742," the stone be-
tween the other two, and on which the letters cannot be deciphered, may mark
the grave of Sarah [Covel], the wife of Benajah Dunham the elder, and of
whose death we have no record.
The stone of Robert Stone, sen., was replaced by another of white marble by
the same hands and reads as follows: "Here lyes buried ye Body of Robert
Stone, senr. a1. 65 yrs. departed this life 12 day of March 1689. This is in place

of the oldest grave stone on Martha's Vinyard. Erected by Joseph Dunham,
18G3. The old stone lies here defaced. Sixty rods south east from this grave
may be seen the ruins of the cellar of the House of the first white settlers, who
came to the Island 1630."
This stone too, now lies on the ground broken. Several have disappeared en-
tirely, aud some are broken into bits. Of these are the stones of Lemuel Little
and Mary Little. One fragment lying on the ground has the letters "ittle" upon
it. Hakeiet M. Pease. — Genealogist.
CONTRIBUTION TO A GORTON GENEALOGY.
By Elliot Stoke, Esq., of Riverdale, New York City.
Although we know from Samuel Gorton's own words that he and his
forefathers " for many generations " were born in the town of Gorton in
Lancashire, the precise date of his birth does not seem to be anywhere
6tated. Savage says he was born about 1600, and Mr. J. O. Austin gives
the year as 1592, stating that Gorton was forty-four years of age when he
landed in Boston in 1G37 with wife Elizabeth, son Samuel, and other chil-
dren. In ''Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica" for 1873 there is a
long list of Gortons of Lancashire* which includes the following:
Feb. 12, 1592-3 Samuel son of Thomas Gorton bapt Colleg. Ch. Man-
chester.
1600 & odd. Samuel Gorton, the founder of a religious sect in Amer-
ica, ''was born early in the 17th century in the town of Gorton &c."
Oct. 2, 1601. Samuel son of Adam Gorton bapt Colleg. Ch. (" proba-
bly the Samuel above referred to ").
1607. Adam Gorton one of the two Constables of Droylsden near
Manchester.
1629. Adam Gorton of Droylsden, will proved at Chester.
Gorton and Droylsden were close to Manchester and tributary to the
Collegiate Church. The second item is probably an extract from Sparks's
American Biography, and the question is, which of the two Samuels bap-
tized is our Gorton? If Mr. Austin is correct, he would seem to be the son
of Thomas, but it may be observed that Adam had a son named Oty well and
our Samuel had a grandson named Othniel, between which names there is
sufficient resemblance to warrant a suspicion that the first has suffered in
transcription. Perhaps some one may have an opportunity to examine the
will of Adam Gorton proved at Chester in 1629.
In the same volume of "Miscellanea" there is a heraldic seal showing
gules, ten billets or, a chief of the second: crest — a goat's head erased, du-
cally gorged, which was used by a Gorton in the 13th century. This coat
is ascribed to Gorton, without a crest, in early editions of Burke, so it may
be regarded a3 ancient, and probably that which Samuel Gorton had in
mind when he said that his "ancestors were not unknown to the records of
the heraldry of England."
The wills of Mrs. Mary Mayplett of London and Dr. John Maplett of
Bath, discovered by Mr. Henry F. "Waters aud published in the Register
*Dr. Howard's Miscellanea Genealogies et Heraldica, Vol. I, New Series, pp. 321-5;
378-9. *
200 Contribution to a Gorton Genealogy. [April,
for 1800, p. 384, and 1892, p. 153, prove that Samuel Gorton's wife was
Mary Maplett, whose parentage would seem to justify the statement that
"she had been as tenderly nurtured as any man's wife in Plymouth." Judge
Brayton in his " Defence of Gorton;' and Mr. Austin, call the wife Eliza-
beth, and it has been suggested that two sets of children are rather indi-
cated by Gorton's special bequest to his eldest sou Samuel for helping " me
bring up my family when my children were young"; but the third son,
Benjamin, named a child Maplet, and if Gorton had lost a first wife in New
England it would hardly have escaped notice. Mrs. Mayplett's will refers to
her daughter Mary, wife of Samuel Gorton, in New England, and Dr. Maplett
made bequests to his sister, Mrs. Mary Gorton of New England, and to
each of her children. This Dr. Maplett was an eminent physician, and a
long account of him can be found in Wood's Athenaj Oxoniensis, which
states that he was " son of a father of both his names, a sufficient shoe-
maker, in the parish of St. Martin's le Grand in London." [What was a
"sufficient" shoemaker ?J Foster's Alumni Oxon. refers to him as John
Ilaplett, son of John of London, city, gent., Christ Church College, matricu-
lated 24 Feb. 163 J, aged 20, D. Med., Principal Gloucester Hall, and the
Dictionary of National Biography states that he seems to have had an uncle
residing in Holland or the Low Countries, whom he visited. His monu-
ment is in St. Peter's Church, Bath, and the following reference thereto is
made in " Monumental inscriptions at Bath from MSS. of Antony a Wood,"
in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, New series, Vol. 4, p. 58. "The
ar'es (armes) over it are arg. three chevrons b. [blue], his epitaph ye may
see at length in Mr. Thomas Guidot's book of ye Bath." It appears,
therefore, that Mrs. Samuel Gorton was Mary, daughter of John Maplett,
gent, of St. Martin's le Grand, London, and Mary, his wife, and that her
family probably bore arms, although it must be added that the heraldic or-
dinaries do not mention them. In fact, Maplett must be a very uncommon
name, for an extended search through tables of English names has revealed
only the following other instances, which may therefore be of interest:
Rev. John Maplet, as to whom we learn from Newcourt's Repertorium,
Cooper's Athena? Cantabrigiensis, and Diet. Nat. Biog., that he was matric-
ulated as sizar of Queen's Coll., Camb., in Dec. 1560, M.A. 1567, instituted
to rectory of Great Lees in Essex, 26 Nov. 1568, which he exchanged for
vicarage of Northall in Middlesex, where he was buried 7 Sept. 1592. He
was author of " Argemonie or the pryucipall vertues of Stones," " A greene
forest &c." and "The Diall of Destiny." He married a widow named El-
len Leap and had John, Thomas 1577, Margaret, Pollen 1576, and Mary
1581. In view of his residence close to London, might not his son John
have been the father of Dr. John Maplett and Mrs. Gorton ?
Le Neve in Fasti Anglican^ mentions Edward Maplet, collated as Pre-
bend of Carlisle, 4 March 168*, died 31 Aug. 1624. Lysons says he was
also vicar of Addinghay in Cumberland.
The Register of Oxford University refers to Henry Maplet of Cumber-
land, clerici filius, matriculated Queen's Coll. 1619, aged 18, who was pro-
bably son of above Edward.
Hutchinson's History of Cumberland states that Christopher Richmond
of Highhead Castle, who died in 1642, had first wife Aun, daughter of
Thomas Mayplate of Salkeld.
From these few instances the name would seem to have been chiefly as-
sociated with Cumberland.

MEMOIR OF WILLIAM PUTNAM KUHN.
Br George Kchx Clarke, LL. B.
William Putnam Kuhn was born in Boston October 24, 1839, and
baptized February 12, IS 41, by the Rev. Samuel Barrett, D.D., of the
Twelfth Congregational Society, whose church the family attended for
thirty-four years.
The middle name, Putnam, was selected as a tribute to the memory of
Jesse Putnam, of the firm of Putnam & Ingalls, with whom George H.
Kuhn had served his apprenticeship. The paternal ancestry of William, or
Putnam, as he was more frequently called, is given in the memoir of his
father, Honorable George II. Kuhn. the eminent merchant, which was
published in the Dedham Historical Register in 1891. It is sufficient to
say here that bis mother was Martha, daughter of Major Walter and
Martha (Tufts) Frost of Cambridge, and that through her he was des-
cended from some of the oldest families in Cambridge, Charlestown and
Medford. His paternal grandfather was Jacob Kuhn, for forty-nine years
messenger of the General Court, or, as now designated, sergeant-at-arms.
The house in which Putnam was born was on the northerly corner of
Beacon and Charles streets, and had been occupied since July, 1825 by his
father, who purchased it in February, 1S35, and made extensive alterations
in the spring of that year. For nearly fifty-four years this house, which
was in a most attractive location, commanding a view of the Common, and
of the Bay, which later was filled, and became the Public Garden, was the
family home, and here the Honorable George II. Kuhn died February
21, 1879. In the spring of 1887 the property was sold to Mr. Andrew C.
Wheelwright, who two and a half years later took down the old-fashioned
house, and built a lofty modern structure upon the site.
It was the custom for the family to go to what was then called the coun-
try for two or three months in each year, and the first three summers of
Putnam's life were passed upon the farm of Isaac Stone in Water town.
Subsequent summers were spent in Medford, Somerville, Cambridge and
Woburn, and the boy had a taste of country life which he often referred to
with pleasure.
A visit to the home of his mother's relatives, the Austins, who lived
in the ancient house, now 21 Linna?an Street, Cambridge, was always
eagerly anticipated by him, as the children were sure of a cordial welcome,
and there many holidays and vacations were happily spent.
At the age of six he went to a school on Myrtle street, kept by a lady, was
afterwards a pupil of David B. Tower's, and in the autumn of 1849 entered
Chauucy-Hall School, where he continued till the spring of 1856, mak-
ing a good record as a scholar, and receiving a second silver medal in
1854.
When a youth his health was delicate, and as his two elder brothers,.
Austin and George Gideon, youug men of much promise and dili-
gent students, had died of consumption, the former the year after his gra-

duation from Harvard University, and the latter when a member of the
senior class there, it was decided that he should not take a collegiate course,
and on April 19, 1856, he became a clerk in the counting house of R. B.
Storer & Co., importers of Russian goods, and remained with them five
years.
As early as 1861, although later engaged in the cotton business for a time,
he became his father's assistant, and eventually his successor in many im-
portant trusts, which he fulfilled with diligence and fidelity, occupying the
office in the Union Building which had been his father's place of business
since August 15, 1838. He was a loyal sou and ministered to his father in
his declining years with cheerful devotion, and unfailing tenderness and
respect.
On April 27, 1863, with William Brandt Storer as a companion, Put-
nam sailed for Russia in the bark Florence, returning in September, hav-
ing visited St. Petersburg, Moscow, and other Russian cities.
He was in Europe from June to December, 1867, and in October, 1868,
immediately after his marriage, again went abroad, and was absent a year.
In July, 1870, the house numbered 89 Piuckney Street, then a de-
sirable locality, was purchased, and for many years was his residence.
During the childhood of his daughter the family passed the summers at
Princeton in this state, but afterwards at Mount Desert, Maine, and at North
Conway, New Hampshire, which place Mr. Kuhn had frequented wheu a
young man, and where he always found pleasure in mountain excursions.
In August, 1887, he went to Europe, and remained fifteen months. In
April, 1889, he returned to Europe, and was there much of the time, prin-
cipally in Paris, the remainder of his life. A portion of the summer and
autumn, however, was usually passed at his country place in Needham,
Massachusetts. In the estate at Needham, which had belonged to his
father, Mr. Kuhn took great interest, and enjoyed being there, and it was
sufficiently near Boston to enable him to go to his office daily.
During his latter years he went to Pau, in the south of France, each
spring, and was a member of the English Club there. Early in 1890 he
was in Algiers, and the same year traveled in Spain, and visited the old
Moorish city of Grenada. Excursions through Brittany and Normandy,
at different times, and a stay in Rome iu 1892, were pleasant features of
his life abroad.
From April 11, 1860, to 1870, he was a member of the Independent
Corps of Cadets, aud May 26, 1862, enlisted in the United States service,
from which he was honorably discharged July 2 following. He occasional-
ly spoke of his service at Fort Warren, and of Gen. Simon Bolivar Buck-
uer, Gen. Tilghman, Gen. McCall and other Confederate prisoners, who
were guarded by the Cadets in June, 1862.
He was an origiual member of the Veteran Association of the Cadets,
and its first secretary, serving from May 26, 1876, to April 19, 1878.
From February 2, 1863, until his death, he was a director of the Boyl-
ston Market Association, and treasurer and proprietors' clerk from Feb-
ruary 6, 1867, to February, 1888.
He was clerk of the Proprietors of Louisburg Square April 18, 1871,
to February 22, 1893, and treasurer one year from the spring of 1878,
and his handsome penmanship, which he had acquired at an early age, com-
bined with strict accuracy, made him a model recording officer.
He was a director of the Massachusetts Mutual Fire Insurance Company
from January 14, 1879, to January, 1895, and of the Everett Mills from

June 18, 1879, until his decease. On April 13, 1880, he vras elected a
trustee of the Suffolk Savings Bank, and served to April, 1890, with the
exception of the year 1888-89. An original subscriber to the Chauncy-
Hall School Association, he held the position of director ten years, from
March 30, 1883, and was president from 18S9 to 1893, his resignation bear-
ing date March 31, 1893.
From October, 1874, to October, 1S83. and again from October, 1889,
to October, 1892, he was a director of the Industrial Aid Society, and
served as treasurer from November 3, 1880, to October, 1887. Also trea-
surer of the Chartitable Orthopedic Association for fifteen years, and of
the Children's Hospital from October 24, 1876, to November, 1877, and a
manager of the latter institution from 1877 to 1880. On July 10. 1879.
he was elected a manager of the Boston Dispensary, and served the re-
mainder of his life. His membership in the Massachusetts Charitable So-
ciety dated from September 15, 1879, and he was a trustee one year from
September 5, 1SS7. From 1885 to 1887 he was treasurer of the Society
for the Relief of Aged and Destitute Clergymen, and had previously served
two or three years on its finance committee.
After his marriage he attended the First Church in Boston, and was
trustee of its Charitv Endowment Fund from March 16, 1884, to April,
1890.
On many occasions he served as an examiner of the accounts and securi-
ties of savings banks, and other corporations and societies.
On June 6, 1881, he succeeded his father, there having been a vacancy
for more than two years, as trustee under the will of the Honorable Abbott
Lawrence " for the building of Model Lodging Houses iu the City of
Boston," and gave considerable time to this trust, which is represented by
several large brick buildings on East Canton Street. Among the trusts
which Mr. Kuhn held, that of trustee under the will of Edmund T. Has-
tings required close attention and careful management; and several other
estates were settled by him with fidelity and ability.
From 1865 to 1889 he was a member of the Union Club, and its trea-
surer from 1880 to 1884, and in 1889 became a member of the Puritan
Club.
He was elected a member of the Boston Society of Natural History
November 18, 1864, and resigned in 1869. In February, 1880, he became
a member of the Antiquarian Club, the predecessor of the Bostonian So-
ciety, in- 1882 of the Webster Historical Society, and June 17. 1885, of the
Bunker Hill Monument Association; was also a life member of the Archae-
ological Institute of America, having been elected May 14, 1886.
He was a contributor to many organized charities, and made several dona-
tions to small libraries. He had a fine library of some twelve hundred
volumes, and found pleasure iu his books.
Mr. Kuhn was a gentleman of the strictest integrity, courteous to all
men, fond of children and of animals, and of a kindly and gentle nature
that made him beloved. His generosity to the poor is well known to
many, and he was ever ready to assist a worthy cause with a liberal sub-
scription.
Modest and unassuming in his manner, he never sought prominence in
public affairs, although interested in them. A safe and conservative ad-
viser, he often gave gratuitously his time and thoughts to the service of
people of limited means, but was extremely reticent as to his own acts of
kindness; and his sudden death, which occurred in Paris, on Saturday.
204 Snow Genealogy. [April,
November 21, 1896, was deplored by many persons who appreciated him
and relied upon him.
The funeral was from the American Episcopal Church of the Trinity,
and his remains were interred near the Bois de Boulogne.
He married in Plymouth, Massachusetts, October 13, 1S68, Mary Roberts
French, daughter of Arthur and Mary Hayman (Goddard) French, the
Rev. Rufus Ellis, D.D., officiating.
From this marriage there were two daughters, Grace born in Edinburgh,
Scotland, August 14, 1869, died in Stuttgart, Wiirttemberg, January 22,
1870, and Grace Lillian born in Boston.
Mr. Kuhn was tall and of good presence, and was the last male descen-
dant of the name from his great grandfather John George Kuhn, and
with him the family, which had been highly respected since the middle of
the last century, becomes extinct.

tors of Truro, in 1639. In division of land John Snow had the 8th
lot, bounded on northerly side by Lieut. Joseph Snow dec'd, and
south by lot of Thomas Paine. In 1703 he was one to decide
boundaries. In 1703, reference to John Snow dec'ed, his father
evidently. In 1725 he was town clerk. In act of proprietors in
1730 his name does not appear. He had pew No. 2, £5, on left
hand in the church. He was one of four to call Rev. John Avery
in 1710-11. Children:

Sarah Freeman, daughter of John, Jr., and Sarah (Merrick) Free-
man, born Sept. 1676. He died in Eastham about 1757. His will
was dated April 8, 1754; probated Sept. 20, 1758. He speaks of
"sons Jabez Snow and Joseph Snow; seven grandchildren, heirs of
his son Nathaniel; four grandchildren, heirs of daughter Martha
Barker, dec'd; to grandson Edward." His wife died Aug. 23, 1739.
Oct. 12, 1701, Edward Snow's wife admitted to Harwich church.

Cape Cod.) His children are not all on record, and two different ac-
counts have come to us, from the Freeman Genealogy and one other
source, and from Miss Cobb, a descendant of Joseph, taken from
a family Bible and other sources. Freeman's Genealogy says :
" Thomas4 born about 1 698. Jabez abt 1700. Rebecca abt 1702, and
Joseph abt 1704." Miss Cobb's record gives the following, all born
in Harwich :
i. Thomas4 Snow, b. 1701 ; " died a single man" before his father in
1737.t
• Since sending the family of Jabez Snow5 to Register I have discovered that his wife
was Eliz. Sinythi daughter of 1st Ralph, born Sept. 1618.

1730, Sarah Yonng, who may have been this Thomas, or may have been son of Benjamin3

There has been considerable confusion in placing the different
Elizabeths. There is an Elizabeth4 Snow, daughter of Thomas4

The Snow Genealogy will not appear in the Register after this; but
I shall gather together my material, and print as soon as possible. I have
many lines from the other emigrant Snows, and shall print all the material
I have. I hope any one of the name of Snow, or descended from a Snow,
who sees this, will send me their line back as far as they know it, whether
they care for the genealogy or not. This will help very much in solving
the many puzzles that arise.
RICHARD WILLIAMS OF TAUNTON,
AND HIS CONNECTION WITH THE CROMWELL FAMILY.
The late Hon. Joseph Hartwell Williams of Augusta, Ex-
Governor of Maine, a descendant of Richard Williams of Taunton,
many years ago became interested in the history of the family, and
thereafter, to the close of his life, devoted much time and money to
tins object in the face of obstacles that would have daunted any man
not able to exercise the wonderful patience and perseverance of Mr.
Williams in these researches.
210 Richard Williams of Taunton. [April,
Among other matters he investigated the statement, made many
years ago but afterwards vehemently doubted, that the family of
Richard Williams was connected by ties of blood with that of Oliver
Cromwell. Pie had the satisfaction, before his death, of achieving
complete success in this particular — a result he deemed ample re-
ward for all his labors.
Among those whom he employed was Mr. John Phillips C. E.
of Putney, Surrey, who in 1894 compiled a chart entitled "Gene-
alogy of the Cromwell-Williams Families from the Conquest to the
Commonwealth.'" Mr. Williams had printed a very few copies of
this chart for private distribution, limiting the number undoubtedly
because he was expecting that a fuller account of what he had done
would speedily be published in connection with a genealogy of live
generations of the descendants of Richard Williams. Plans for this
publication were under discussion when Mr. Williams met with the
accident which incapacitated him for the transaction of business and
was followed by his universally lamented death.
So urgent and so many calls have been made for copies of this
chart that his family has consented that I shall prepare it for publi-
cation in the Register. Considerable in it is devoted to the Crom-
well Genealogy from its origin : but as I understand that that has
been published, and is readily accessible to the public, I have limited
this account to a brief statement of the direct line of the family with
which the Williams family became immediately connected.
I shall be pardoned for observing that few can appreciate, from
the results here given, the vast amount of research necessary to pro-
duce them and the consequent debt of gratitude which we owe to
Mr. Williams. Josiah H. Drummoxd.
CROMWELL.
The Cromwell line date3 from Aklen de Cromwell, who lived in the time
of William the Conqueror. His son was Hugh de Cromwell, and from
him descended ten Ralph de Cromwells in as many successive generations;
but the tenth Ralph died without issue.
The seventh Ralph de Cromwell married in 1351, Amicia, daughter of
Robert Berer, M.P. for Notts; besides the eighth Ralph, they had several
other sons, among whom was Ulker Cromwell of Ilucknall, Torkard, Notts.
Ulker had Richard; and he, John of Cromwell House, Carle ton upon
Trent, Notts; aud he, Robert; the names of the wives are not given.
k 1. Robert Cromwell1 of Carleton upon Trent, was a Lancastrian.
He was killed at the battle of Towton, in 1461. His lease of Cromwell
House was seized by Sir Humphrey Bourchier, Yorkist, who was the hus-
band of Joan Stanhope, the granddaughter of the ninth Ralph through his
daughter Matilda, wife of Sir Richard Stanhope.
Robert1 left son William,2 the ancestor of Oliver Cromwell, and a daugh-
ter Margaret, the ancestor of both Oliver Cromwell and Richard Williams
of Taunton.

2. William* Cromwell, of the prebend of Palace Hall, Norwall, Notts,
settled in Putney, Surrey, 1452. He married Margaret Smyth, daughter
of John Smyth of Norwalk, Notts, and had John.3
Margaret Cromwell married William Smyth (sou of John). They had
son Richard8 Smyth and daughter Joan3 Smyth.
3. John8 Cromwell married his cousin, Joan9 Smyth. He was a Lan-
castrian, and his lands at Putney were seized by Archbishop Bourchier,
Lord of the Manor of Wimbledon, and his lease of Palace Hall, Norwalk,
Notts, remised by Lord Chancellor Bourchier. They had, among other
children, Walter4 Cromwell. Richard2 Smyth of Rockhampton, Putney, by
wife Isabella, had daughter Margaret4 Smyth, who married John Williams,
fourth in descent from Howell Williams, the head of the Williams line.
4. Walter4 Cromwell married in 1474 the daughter of Glossop of
Wirkesworth, Derbyshire; in 1472 lie claimed and was admitted to two
virgats (30 acres) of land at Putney; in 1499, Archbishop Morton, Lord
of Wimbledon Manor, gave hini six virgats (90 acres) of land in Putney as
a solatium for the property taken from his father by the Bourchier York-
ists. He died in 1516, leaving among other children, Katherine5 Cromwell.
5. Katherixe5 Cromwell married Morgan Williams, fifth in descent
from Howell Williams, aud had son Sir Richard6 Williams, born about
1495.
6. Sir Richard6 Williams, alias Cromiccll, married in 1518, Frances
Murfyu, daughter of Sir Thomas Murfyn, Lord Mayor of Loudon in 1518.
He died at Stepney in 1547, and was buried in Gt. St. Helen's Church,

Henry,8 Richard,8 Philip,8 Joan,8 Elizabeth8 and Frances.8
8. Robert8 Cromwell of Huntingdon, brewer, married Elizabeth
Stewart, widow of William Lynn of Bassingbourn, and their fifth child was
Oliver* Cromiccll, 4i The Lord Protector."
Robert's sister, Elizabeth3 Cromwell, married William Hampden of Great
Hampden, Bucks, and among their childreu were John* Hampden, " The
Patriot," and Richard3 Hampden.
WILLIAMS.
Gov. Williams, through his assistants, traced the Williams line back
to Howell Williams, Lord of Ribour.
1. Howell1 Williams, Lord of Ribour, married Wenlion, daughter
and heiress of Llyne ap Jevan of Rady, and had son Morgan3 Williams.
2. Morgan* Williams of Lanishen, Glamorgan, married Joan Batton.
daughter of Thomas of Glamorgan, and they had Thomas3 and Jevan.3
Jevan9 Williams married Margaret, daughter of Jenkin Kemeys of
Bagwye Man. They had son William* Williams of Lanishen, Bailiff for
Henry VIII., who (wife not known) was the father of Morgan* Williams
of Lanishen, Glamorgan, and later of Putney. Surrey, ale brewer at Put-
ney, Wansworth and Greenwich, for Henry VII. and Henry VIII., and the
husband in 1494 of Katharine Cromwell. — See ante Cromwell, No. 5, el seq
3. Thomas3 Williams of Lanishen, Glamorgan, died at St. Helens,
Bishopgate, London ; was buried in the church there " with his brass on
212 Allen Family. [April,
stone." He married, first, Daniel of Edmonton, Midd ; and second,
Margaret ; her brass on stone. He had son John'1 Williams.
4. John4 Williams, Steward of Wimbledon Manor, Surrey, married
Margaret Smyth, daughter of William Smyth, and granddaughter of
Margaret Cromwell (see ante Cromwell, Nos. 1,2). He died at Mortlake
in 1502, and she in 1501. They left two sons, John* and Richard.3
John" Williams, born in 1485, married Joan Wykys, daughter of Henry
Wykys of Bolleys Park, Chertney, and sister of the Elizabeth Wykys who
married Thomas Cromwell (brother of Katharine) secretary to Henry
VIII., Lord Cromwell of Oakham, Earl of Essex.
5. Richard5 Williams was born in Rochampton in 14S7. He settled
at Monmouth and Dixton, Mon., where he died in 1559. He was twice
married. The name of his first wife is not known. She is credited with
one daughter, Joan. His second wife was Christian , who had two
daughters, Reece6 and Ruth,6 and one son, John.6
6. John6 Williams of Huntingdon, near Wotton-Under-Edge, Glouces-
ter, died in 1579, leaving son William.7 No other particulars of this family
are given.
7. William7 Williams of Huntingdon, married, November 15, 1585,
Jane Shepherd. She died about 1600; a child of hers having been bap-
tized December 2, 1599. He married, December 4, 1603, Jane Wood-
ward. She died February 2, 1614, and he in 161S. The first child by his
second marriage, born in January, 1606, was Richard Williams op
Tacnton.
Of the change of his name by Sir Richard Williams, Gov. Williams said:
"Oliver Cromwell was a lineal descendant in the male line of Morgan
Williams of Glamorganshire. His great grandfather, Sir Richard Williams,
assumed the name of " Cromwell," it is true, but not until in mature years
he had distinguished himself in the public service (temp. Henry VIII.),
uuder the patronage of his uncle, Thomas Cromwell (Vicar General, 1535),
whom he proposed to honor by the adoption of his name. In fact, ever
afterwards, Sir Richard used to sign himself ' Richard Cromwell, alias
Williams'; and his sons and grandsons, and Oliver himself, in his youth
(1620), used to sign in the same manner. In important grants from the
crown to Sir Richard (29 and 31, Henry VIII.) the grautee's name appears
in both forms, 'Cromwell alias Williams ' and ' Williams alias Cromwell.'"
It is not believed that, in the light of Gov. Williams's researches, the
relationship of Richard Williams of Taunton, and the Cromwell family, will
again be questioned.
ALLEN FAMILY.
Communicated by Francis Olcott Allen, Esq., of Philadelphia, Pa.
The accompanying certified records of an Allen, or Allin, family,
from the Parish Registers of Braunton, Co. Devon, England, are
presented as of possible interest. It will be seen by the following
extracts from a letter received from the Vicar, Rev. E. R. Gatto,
that they comprise all the Allen entries from 1580 to 1630, and
that from April to July, inclusive, in 1587 there are no entries re-
corded.
I
1897.] Allen Family. 213
" The work of tracing the Allen, or Allin, family in the Registers has
been a difficult one, for the entries are all in Black Letter, very crabbed,
and so difficult to decipher that I have not trusted myself to translate them
but have given them, in most cases, in fac simile. 1 have searched the
Registers from 1580 to 1630, and send you herewith all the entries in the
Christenings aud Weddings Registers, 27 in all. Our Registers go back
to 1538, and the first meutiou of the name Allen, or Allin, is a christen-
ing in 1545: Thomas the son of Symon Allen; the first wedding is in
1554: Nicholas Allen and Margery Taylor. I should call your attention
to the curious extract in the year 1587, when, owing to some dispute or
carelessness, there are no entries for four months.
This may account for the absence of any entry relating to Samuel Allin."
It is worthy of notice that the name is not spelled Allyn in a
single instance — of the 26 entries, 16 are Allen and 10 Allin.
Three generations of the family are given, which, by the will of
Richard Allen in the Register for Oct. 1806, pp. 501-5, identi-
fies them as the Matthew Allyn family of Windsor and Hartford,
Conn. Further identification is found by reference to the Regis-
ter for Oct. 1804, p. 406.
These entries were obtained in the course of a search for Samuel
Allin of Windsor, Conn. So far as the evidence goes, he was not
a brother of Matthew, as has often been stated.

THE HOLDEN FAMILY OF CRANBROOK, KENT,
ENGLAND.
By Edward S. Holden, LL.D., Director of the Lick Observatory.
The following extracts from MS. records have been collected from time
to time by the kindness of many friends. They are practically complete
so far as the Cranbrook Registers go, from 1560 to 1660 or thereabouts.
The tombs of this family are among the very oldest in the Cranbrook
church yard, and the inscriptions are nearly obliterated. I possess photo-
graphs of them. After the year 1762 the name does not appear in the
Parish Registers.

davghter, viz. Robert & Mary. Aet
Next this lomb is one on which the inscription cannot be deciphered and
one on which the letteriug can be only partially made out. It is in memory
of Eliza, wife of Henry Godden, Gent., who died in May, 1705. She was
the daughter of another Robert Holden.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
Cornell Family. — In many of the genealogical records of the Cornell
Family it has been assumed that Thomas Cornell, son of Thomas of Ports-
mouth, R. I., married for his first wife Elizabeth Fiscock. Although this
statement has several times appeared in print, it might not of itself be a mat-
ter of great importance, except that thereupon is based the belief that the
family originated in Hertfordshire, where fruitless efforts have been made to
trace it.
This belief, which I think is erroneous, is founded on certain entries in the
Records of the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, where among the
Marriages we find : "Nov. 2, 1642, Thomas Cornelis, j. m. Uyt de Provincie
Van Hertfort en Elizabeth Fiscock, j. d. Van Pleymouth in Engelt (V. T. Gen.
Record, VI., 35).
Among the Baptisms in the same charch are those of Elizabeth, daughter of
Thomas Corenwell, Jan. 12, 1644; Sara, daughter of Thoma3 Carrnwell, Feb. 21,
1646; Johannes, ased 3 vears, and Maria 10 weeks, children of Thomas Carmu-
well, Aug. 14, 1650 (lb. V., 34, 87, 94).*
If these records referred to Thomas Cornell of R. I. we should naturally
expect to find among the sponsors at some of these baptisms, his sisters Sarah
Willett and Rebecca Wolsey, who were married and living in New Amsterdam,
and who were present as parents or sponsors at no less than ten baptisms be-
tween 1643 and 1650. Instead of these sisters we And among the witnesses to
the baptisms Eduart Fiscock, Jan Haes, who married in 1645 Edwart Fiscock's
widow, Susanna Breser, probably sifter of Henry Breser, who married a
daughter of Samuel Spicer of Gravesend, and Sara Cornelis, who evidently
was not the Sarah Cornell who had married Thomas Willett, three years before.
She apparently belonged to a Dutch Cornelis family then somewhat numerous
in New Amsterdam.
Who then was this mysterious Thomas Cornell? I think the question is
easily answered.
There was a Thomas Cornwell who with Samuel Spicer is found in 1645 among
the first inhabitants and patentees of Gravesend. L. I., and whose name often
appears in the early records of that town. He died not later than September
9, 1650, on which day his widow Elizabeth Commell married John Morrice. It
appears by the Gravesend records that January 9, 1651, the estate of Thomas
Cornwell was settled by the Court, that he left a widow whom ye sd John Mor-
• I find on examination of the Church Books that these entries are accurately printed,
but not from the originals. Tin; true original records loner since disappeared, and those
which now exist are transcripts made under the direction of Dominie Solyns who was
minuter of the Church from 16S2 to 1701. This may account for varieties ia spelling of
the name Cornell, and possibly for other errors.

rice hath married, and four small children, viz., Elizabeth aged about 7 years,
Sarah about 4 years. Johanna about 3 years, and Marah about half a year. The
estate " which might be abought six hundred guilders" was entrusted to John
Morrice, " he consenting to maintain the children, and to pay to them upon the
day of her marriage, or when they shall come to be sixteen years of age one
hundred guilders, to be laid out upon cattle, and by him improved for the use
of each daughter." Although the name Johanna appears in the place of
Johannes, yet the ages of the children correspond exactly, and I think there
can be no doubt that the Church records and the Town records refer to the same
persons.
I have found nothing to indicate that Thomas 2d of R. I. was ever in New
Amsterdam. That he was twice married is certain, but he had no children an-
swering to the above. His estate was divided in Portsmouth among his seven
children, of whom three were by his second wife, and " the four eldest were to
have their share in land, being sons." At the time of his trial in 1673 his sons
were Thomas, aged about 16, Edward, Stephen and John, who were called
" boys " or " lads." Evidently John could not have been the Johannes who was
baptized in 1050. The children of Thomas2 of R. I. were, i. Thomas, who
married Susanah Lawton; ii. Edward, mar. Mary, had two hundred acres at
Hempstead L. I., on Success Pond, and died without issue in 1703 ; iii. Stephen
of Dartmouth, Mass.. mar. Hannah; iv. John, probably of Hempstead, mar.
Hanah, daughter of Jeremiah Smith; v. Innocent, mar. as supposed Richard
Borden ; vi. and vii. two daughters not traced.
It appears by the Connecticut Colonial Records that Aug. 1, 1639, Thomas
Cornell was fined 30s. for unreasonable and immoderate drinking at the pin-
nace. In lG-l-i Stevenson and Mabbs attempted to kill Thomas Cornil, near the
house of Wophertsen at Flatlauds, the adjoining town to Gravesend. The same
year Thomas Cornel, a soldier from Hertfortshire, aged 24, was found guilty
of desertion. It is probable that some if not all of these records refer to the
Thomas Cornell who married Elizabeth Fiscock, and who died at Gravesend.
It is therefore evident that Thomas Cornell of Portsmouth, R. I., was not
from Hertfordshire, but from Essex, as is stated in the marriage record of his
daughter Sarah Willet.

6 Apr. 16G3. John Tottey of Ratcliff in the Parish of Stepney, county of
Middlesex, England, gave a power of attorney to his trusty and well beloved
friend Robert Conch Of Shadwell in the parish of Stepney, chirurgeon (now
bound forth and intended for a voyage to New England). This is recorded in
Suffolk Deeds, Lib. iv. f. 310. Philip Xaylor a witness acknowledged his sig-
nature before John Leverett, 14 June and the document was recorded 9 Aug.
1665.
In the Boston records of births, deaths and marriages we find :
2 Nov. 16G3 Robert of Mr. Robert and Elizabeth Couch born.
20 Oct. 1665 Elizabeth of Mr. Robert and Elizabeth Couch born.
2-1 Dec. 1667 Mary of Robert and Elizabeth Couch born.
22 Mch 1671 Edward of Robert and Elizabeth Couch born.
Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary gives Robert Couch of New Hamp-
shire, 1656-1669. This is the same individual but he was not there during that
period, only from 1667 to 1669, when he was at Portsmouth and that neighbor-
hood, aud was interested in the case of Mrs. Jane Walford charged with
witchcraft, to such an extent that his opinions on her condition led to her com-
plaint against him for slander 22 March, 1669, when she received a verdict of
five pounds and costs in lieu of the one thousand pounds damages asked for in
her complaint. (See Register, Vol. xliv., pp. 182-183.)
This case in our law courts was not the only similar experience of Robert
Couch while in New England; in the following year he brought a suit against
one George Willoughby, who lately from Barbadoes, had there contracted a dis-
ease of an ulcerous nature, and after placing himself under the care of Dr.
William Hawkins (d. l'J85) and Dr. Henry Tayler, was treated by Couch at an
expense of £5 5s. 6d., which Willoughby thought excessive.
Couch tarried in New England as late as 1677 and soon after that date went to
Virginia, where he died previous to 1680. and the manuscript of the book men-
tioned above fell into the hands of Col. Francis Willis of Ware River, Glouces-
ter County, Va., whose will is given, Register, Vol. xli., pp. 257.
Col. Willis sent the manuscript to England, where it was printed by Christo-
pher Pack, chemist, whose laboratory was at the " Sign of the Globe and Chym-
ical Furnaces in the Postern near Moorgate."
The dedication of the work by Pack is to Col. Francis Willis.
Sabin's Americana makes no mention of this title given above.
William of David and Mary Couch was born 25 Jan. 1685 in Boston.

"The Wayside Inn:" Captain Levi Holden.* — (Extract from a private
letter of Professor Warren Holden of Girard College, contributed by Edward
S. Holden,'L.L.D., of Lick Observatory.) "The inn here referred to must be
the one at which my grandfather met with a curious adventure. He owned a
farm in Sudbury town. He had received a payment of money in gold, which
he wished to deposit. The sum was larger, by reason of bulk, than was con-
venient to carry in the pocket, so he put it in his saddle-bags. When he came
to the inn he joined a convivial company there, and after a while proceeded on
his way to Concord. When he examined his saddle-bags he found that the gold
had been stolen and replaced by stones. He quietly threw them on the groundr
remounted, and turned home. Grandmother asked if he had been to bank. He
replied in the affirmative, and that was the last word upon the subject for three
years. At the end of that time the man whom he suspected came to him and
caid— 'Captain Holden, did you ever find out\vho took your money three years-
ago?' 'No,' said ray grandfather, 'I never found out till now. You are the man.'
The self-convicted thief was glad to refund the money stolen. * * * * •

Capt. John Smith's Monument. — The following item copied from the City
Press, London, Dec. 2, 1896, is contributed by Capt. Albert A. Folsoin :
"Most of ray readers know that the remains of Captain John Smith, 'some-
time Governor of Virginia and Admiral of New England,' and who died in 1G31,
are deposited in St. Sepulchre's Church. The original monument to his mem-
ory has disappeared, and a correspondent writes suggesting the erection of a
statue of the gallant captain on the vacant space in front of the church as a
commemorative monument of the long and prosperous reign of the Queen. I
give the desired publicity to the suggestion, but do not feel that it is either
necessary or, indeed, specially appropriate. The place of interment in the choir
of the church is already indicated by a brass plate bearing a replica of the
original inscription, beginning 'Here lies one conquered that hath conquered
kings'. "
Queries.
Norton of Guilford. — Orcutt's History of Wolcott, Conn. (1S71), states
that Thomas Norton came to Guilford in 1639 with wife Grace "Wells, and three
daughters, Ann, Grace aud Mary, born about 1G25, 1627 and 1635 respectively.
Can any one give the authority for this statement?
The long interval between the second and third daughters gives the impres-
sion that the earlier dates are erroneous, and the principal question is, was
Wells the family name of Grace, the wife of Thomas Norton of Guilford?
Blaydes' " Genealogica Bedfordiensis " (1S90) shows that Thomas Norton and
Grace Wells were married in Shelton parish, May 5, 1631, and Grace Norton,
daughter of Thomas, was baptized Jan. 13, 1G32, in adjoining parish of Deane.
A son, John, was baptized Peb. 15, 1631, and then this family seems to have
removed, as there are no more entries in the registers. If Thomas of Guilford
did marry Grace Wells, then Bedfordshire records should be of interest in view
of the tradition iu Massachusetts that Rev. John and William and the Connec-
ticut Nortons were of the same stock, and in the light of the " Sharpeuhoe"
pedigree in Register 13, p. 225. and it will be observed that Grace, baptized
Jan. 13, 1G32, would have been of marriageable age April 2, 1651. when Grace
of the Guilford family was married to William Seward. Thomas of Guilford,
however, had a daughter Ann, who, as she is said to have married John War-
ner in 1619, must have been older than Grace, and no Ann appears in the registers
of Shelton and Deane. As to this, it may be remarked that the two parishes
named arc in the extremity of Beds on the borders of Northants aud Hunts,
and there was an interval of twenty months between the marriage at Shelton
and the first baptism at Deane, during which another child might have been born
aud baptized in another county. A more serious objection lies in the statement
in Dr. Talcott's Guilford MSSr. that John Norton, sou of Thomas, was born in
1628, but this date is open to suspicion when it is remembered that John was
not married until 1661. Orcutt gives his birth at about 1C40, so perhaps Dr.
Talcott meant 163S. The boy baptized at Deane was born in 1G35, new style.
It was stated at Guilford's 250th anniversary in 1889 that the record of Thomas
Norton's marriage is found in the register of Ockleyin Surrey, but this would
seem to be an error. Thomas Norton and Judith Howell were married at Ock-
ley in 1637, but Grace was the given name of the wife of Thomas of Guilford.
Is there any proof that she was Grace Wells? Elliot Stone.

Pemberton.— Register, xlvi., 392-8. "What is the authority for the opinion
that George Purkiss married Sarah Pemberton?
James Purkiss names Elizabeth Elatson among his children (p. 391), and
Boston Records credit the children of George Purkiss :—
1678, May 16, Elizabeth, to George and Elizabeth Purkiss.
1680, April 1, Sarah, to George and Elizabeth Purkiss.
It would seem, that if Sarah Pemberton married George Purkiss, she died
soon, and he married her sister, who outlived him and married an Elatson.

Eldredge, Origin of the Surname (ante, page 46).— An English antiqua-
rian friend writes to the editor, as follows : " The first two paragraphs in the
Eldredge Genealogy, page 4G, strike me as not being quite what one would ex-
pect in the pages of the Register. Mr. Eldredire does not seem to realize that
Eldred in Saxon and Norman times was a Christian name and not a surname,
and that therefore all the persons of that name were not related any more than
all the Alfreds and Williams were."

Miller, Cook, Clark, Hall. Crosby and Smith (Register, li. : 33). — The
article on Miller, Cook, Clark. Hall, etc., was to many at this end of Cape Cod
of interest, and corroborates what we now have. A bible formerly owned by
our great, great grandfather, now in my possession, has the following entries.
On the first blank sheet, or leaf :
" Paul Crowell his Bible Bought for his son David Crowell with money that
was given by Mr John Miller.""
On the next page is a record of the children of Col. Paul Crowell, as follows :
. Abigal, b. September the 13th 1715.
Paul, " aprell the 4th 1717.
Jonathan, " febriary the 25th 1718.
Elizabeth, " aprell the 7th 1726.
David, " august the 3th 1730.
On the blank leaves, between the old and the new Testaments, in another
writing, probably that of David the son, who was to inherit the bible, is the
following; and as the dates are the same as those of the death of Col. Paul
Crowell and wife, on their grave stones, we feel sure they are the ones re-
ferred to :
" Father deceast Oct the 11, 1765, In the 70 year of his age. Mother deceast
may the 14, 1773, Iu the 79 year of her age."

And the birth of Margery Hall is given Feb. 24. 1694-5, thus agreeing with the

Joseph Hall and Hannah Miller.
Margery was the great granddaughter of Rev. John Miller; and the money
to buy the bible may have been given her by the Rev. John Miller, or by her

John Thorn married Martha Wood, July 28, 169-. — Ipswich Records.
Probate: 335-464. — John Thorn's will, June 15, 1758, mentions "beloved
wife Mercy." Inventory, presented Dec. 6, by " Marcy Thorn."
There was no second marriage, and they had daughter, granddaughter and
great-granddaughter Mercy, but no Martha. Moreover, the Martha Wood was
probably daughter or granddaughter of Mercy Thompson who married Isaiah
Wood, 1653.
The nearest approach to an explanation I can offer is this : — Final a formerly
stood for our final y. (Bccca, Doratha, for our Becky and Dorothy ;— and I
have known elderly persons in New Hampshire who wrote Josie, Josa.)
I have heard old persons here pronounce Mercy, Mair-cy.

Benjamin Harris, the First Newspaper es New England, and the New
England Primer. — In 1090 Benjamin Harris, a bookseller of Boston, had a
newspaper printed for him by K. Tierce, entitled " Publick Occurrences both
Foreign and Domestick," Boston, Thursday. Sept. 25, 1G90. It was suppressed
by the authorities of the Colony, and probably all the copies were destroyed,
except one which seems to have been sent to the English government, and is
now preserved in the Public Record Office, London. In the year 1845 the
late Rev. Joseph Barlow Felt, LL.D., visited England, and while there discov-
ered this newspaper, of which, in 1849, he gave a description in the second vol-
ume of his " Aunals of Salem," page 14. In 1656 Hon. Samuel A. Green,
LL.D., then in London, obtained permission to copy this newspaper, of which he
made a careful transcript, which was printed in 1857 at Boston, Mass., in the
August number (pages 228 to 281) of the " Historical Magazine", then edited
by the writer of this note. It was reprinted in tiie "National Intelligencer,"
Sept. 3, 1857, at Washington, D. C, from which it was again reprinted in
1873 in Hudson's " Journalism in the United States." The late Daniel N. Has-
kell had a copy of the newspaper made for him, which he received in 1857,
about the time that Dr. Green placed his copy in my hands to reprint in the
" Historical Magazine." It was Mr. Haskell's intention when he ordered a copy
made for him to reprint it in the " Boston Evening Transcript," of which he
was editor, but finding that Dr. Green's copy was more carefully made, he did
not carry out his intention.
Dr. Green, from whose transcript of " Publick Occurrences " the reprint of
1857 was made, last year procured from London a photographic facsimile of
that paper and allowed the " Boston Daily Globe" to reproduce it in their issue
of March -i, which was the Globe's 25th anniversary. The original paper, Dr.
Green says, is about seven inches by eleven iuches (a folio, pot size), and is
printed on three sides, the fourth being left blank. Dr. Green has furnished
a few facts about the history of the paper for the fourth page of the reprint.
Beujamin Harris came to New England about 1686, and opened a book store
in Boston. An historical article on the '« New England Primer" by Paul Leices-
ter Ford, was printed in the " Bookman " for October, 1896. Mr. Ford gives
strong reasons for believing that Mr. Harris was the compiler and original
publisher of the "New England Primer," whose origin has so long been a
mystery. J. W. D.

Gilman, of German descent. — I made a voyage round the world in the win-

Hong Kong, encountered a Rev. P. F. Gilman who, with his wife and children.
was returning to the Island of Hainan, off the Chinese coast, where he was a
Presbyterian missionary. He informed me that he was of Pennsylvania German
descent, his grandfather, I think, being the first emigrant. The name was
originally spelt Gdlmann or Guelmann. There are members of this family still
living in Pennsylvania and Xew York.
I think a knowledge of this German branch not mentioned by either Arthur
Gilman in his two volumes on the Gilman family (1SG3 and 186-1- ) or Alexander

Jesse and Mary (Pemiiman) Bliss. His ancestry is traced to Thomas1 Bliss,
who with his son Samuel,2 a boy of eleven years, and other children, emigrated
from England to Massachusetts. The family were first at Braintree and after-
wards permanently at Hartford, Ct.

of the Boston Art Club. He lived in Cambridge from about 1819 to 1879, after
that in Boston.

too valuable to be dispensed with- and from that time till he was sixteen years
old, he went to school only in winter, from eight to twelve weeks a year.
In the autumn of 1819, his father died in very straightened circumstances.
From 1820 to 1824 he lived with different farmers in the town, working hard

office at New Bedford, and was installed January 18, 1840, as pastor of the
First Congregationalist Parish at Milton, Mass. After a pastorate of twenty-
five years a colleague was appointed, namely, Rev. Francis T. Washburne,

Biographical Sketches of the Graduates of Yale College, xcith Annals of the Col-
lege History : May, 1745-May, 1763. By Franklin Bowditch Dexter, M.A.
New York: Henry Holt arid Company. 1S96. Royal 8vo. pp. viii.-f-793.
Price, §5.
This work, begun by the publication in 1SS5 of a first volume covering the
period from 1701 to May, 1745, is now continued for a further period of eigh-
teen years. The value of the work, aud the fidelity with which it is prosecuted,
is undiminished, and the reader will only regret the necessarily slow progress
toward its completion in the later generations of graduates of the college.
The middle of the eighteenth century was a day of small things at Yale.
Students were comparatively few in number, mouey was lacking, and the annals
disclose much dissensiou growing out of the aggressive and arbitrary adminis-
tration of President Clap. Need was felt of a new college building. After
five or six years' agitation an act was passed by the General Assembly in 1747
authorizing a lottery to promote the object. Work of construction was begun
in 174S, and then annual appeals were made to the General Assembly for more
funds. The exterior was finished in 1752 aud the interior in 1756 — but the
entire cost of the building, through all these years of labor, was only £1660.
This building was called Connecticut Hall, in acknowledgment of the assistance
given by the colonial government, and it is still standing, being known to the
present generation as South Middle College.
In the eighteen years covered by the work 505 students were graduated.
Biographical sketches are given of these men, the sketches being carefully pre-
pared anil of great value. In a majority of cases the names of the paternal
grandparents, as well as the parents, of the graduates are given, for which
many genealogical students will thank the compiler. Equally valuable is the
full citation of authorities, given in each case in a foot-note.
The residence of 490 of the 505 graduates at the time of entering college is
known. Of these 381 were from Connecticut, 63 from Massachusetts, 33 from
New York, 9 from Rhode Island, 3 from New Jersey, and 1 from North Caro-
lina. The number of ministers was 186, physicians 64, and lawyers 56.
An appendix by Prof. Hubert A. Newton, LL.D., devoted to vital statistics,
is interesting. '• It is a marked feature of the mortality statistics of American
college graduates," says the writer, "that there is excessive mortality in the
years immediately following graduation. This is no doubt due to the strenuous
efforts of young graduates to attain a good position in their profession. The
later favorable experience in the ages from 45 to 75 is presumably due to the
fact that they have by that time gained position or else lost ambition."

The Index Library, being Indexes, Calendars and Abstracts of British Iiecords
issued to the Subscribers by TJie British Becord Society, Limited. No. 66. De-
cember, 1896. Royal 8vo. Annual subscription one guinea. Address E. A.
Fry, Esq., honorary secretary, 172 Edmund Street, Birmingham, England.
The first number of the Index Library bears date January, 1888, William P.
W. Phillemon, M.A., B.C., who retired a few years ago, being then the editor.
At the close of 1889, the second year, steps were taken to form a permanent
society by the name of the British Record Society, to carry on the publication
of the Index Library. Sixty-six parts have already been issued. It is found
that this periodical fills a want long felt by antiquarian students. The follow-
ing volumes have been completed, namely, 1, Northamptonshire and Rutland
Wills, 1510-1632, 1 volume; 2, Chancery Proceedings, Bills and Answers, temp.
Charles I., 4 volumes; 3, Royal Composition Papers, A to F, 1 volume; 4,
Signet Bills, 1584 to 1624, 1 volume; 5, Lichfield Wills and Adminstrations
1510 to 1652 ; 6, Berkshire Wills and Adminstrations 1508 to 1652 ; 7, Gloucester-

shire Inquisitiones Post Mortem, temp. Charles I., 2 volumes; 8, The Pre-
rogative Court of Chancery Wills 1383 to 1538, 2 volumes; 9, Gloucestershire

Indexes to other records, quite as valuable and interesting, are in pro-
gress- We would particularly call the attention of our readers to the Index to
the wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (uow preserved in the
Principal Probate Registry, Somerset House, London), compiled by J. Challenor
C. Smith, so favorably known as the superintendent of the Literary Depart-
ment at Somerset House, to whom many of our American searchers have been
indebted. Two volumes of this index have been completed, furnishing an in-
dex to the wills from 1383 to 1558. A continuation of this index from 1559 to
1583 is in progress, and in this number is completed to the letter J.
A Scottish Series of Records has recently been commenced in the Index
Library.
The Fifty-Seventh Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers in the War of the Re-
bellion. Army of the Potomac. By Captain John Anderson, U. S. Army.
Boston, Mass. : E. B. Stillings & Co., Printers, 55 Sudbury Street. 1896. Pp.
xiv.-f512.
This is a valuable and exhaustive work. It is more even than a history of
the brave 57th, as it gives in outline something of the history, during the last
years of the Civil War, of the struggle of the Army of the Potomac (com-
manded by Gen. U. S. Grant) with the Army of Northern Virginia (under Gen.
R. E. Lee), two of the bravest armies commanded by two of the greatest
generals that the world has ever seen. It is a book of absorbing interest
written by a man who took part in the important series of battles, from the ter-
rible conflict in the Wilderness to the surrender at Appomattox. The descrip-
tion of these battles is vivid in the extreme. Many of the pen portraits of the
officers and soldiers of the 57th Regiment (that of Gen. William F. Bartlett
and others) are glowing tributes to these brave men. One of the interesting
features of the book is the spirit of fair-mindedness which pervades it. Al-
though of unflinching loyalty to the Uuiou cause, the author could recognize
and respect the steadfast courage of the southern as well as of the northern
soldier. Looking back from the present period to the time of the war he can
calmly consider the great questions involved. Moreover he can lay stress on
the great truth that there are now no sectional diflereuces, that the North and
the South are more firmly united, more indissolubly joined together than ever
before in the history of our native land. While Capt. Anderson presents in a
very realistic way the horrors of war. he yet shows that war is not always an
unmixed evil, that although for the time being it may seem to retard progress
and bring countless evils in its train, it may in the end conduce to the progress
of the human race, may lead up to "the one divine event toward which the
whole creation moves," the coming of " the kingdom of our Lord and of his
Christ."

Suffolk Manorial Families, being the County Visitations and Other Pedigrees.
Edited with extensive additions by Joseph James Muskett. Part IV. Pri-
vately printed. Exeter: WilliamPollard & Co., Printers. 189G. Royal 4to.
48 pages. Price 5 shillings each part.
We have another part of Mr. Muskett's valuable work, the Suffolk Manorial
Families. There have now been five parts issued, parts 1, 2, 3 and G, and the
one under review. The several parts have been noticed as they appeared. The
present part is characterized by the same thorough work that its predecessors had.
Wills, chancery proceedings, parish registers and other evidences, are used to
verify and trace the pedigrees. It contains pedigrees of Forth, Crymble, Bode,
Powell, Clopton, Tyndall, Rainsborou^h and Reade.
The present part and parts 1, 2 and 3 relate exclusively to the Winthrops
of Groton and families allied to them. In the preparation of these four parts
Mr. Muskett has had the assistance of Robert C. Winthrop, Jr.. who has placed
in his hands all the material that he could furnish from the Winthrop papers in
his possession. The material now collected is largely new matter, nowhere
else found in print. In these four parts will be found all the reliable informa-
tion known to exist concerning the English ancestry of Gov. John Winthrop
of Massachusetts and his connections.

Legends of Woburn. Second Scries. Nbio first written and preserved in col-
lected form from Old Traditions, Legends and History. Illustrated by thirty-two
characteristic Plates, to ichich is added a Table of Local Weather Indications. By
Parker Lindaix Converse, author of " Legends of Woburn, First Series,"
" Story of Creation," etc. Woburn, Mass. Printed for subscribers only.
1896. Svo. pp. xi.+252.
The Second Series of miscellanies relating to Woburn furnishes a " Menu,"
— as the author facetiously calls the table of contents, — of a variety similar to
that of the First Series. The text and the illustrations miirht be aptly de-
scribed as including the curios of Woburn annals as distinguished from the
facts and statistics which alone are admitted into the ordinary town history.
The historical quality of the opening sections, however, is of a sufficiently
serious cast, and the reader will also discover throughout the book, com-
mingled with ballads and tales, a stock of information pertinent not only to
Woburn life but to that of New England in general.
The typography and illustrations brilliantly enhance the merits of a volume
•which, as it was certainly written con amore, will so be read by those most natu-
rally interested in its contents.

for The Parish Register Society, and are issued to subscribers at the rate of
one guinea per annum. Address W. Fergusson Irvine, Esq., Hon. Treasurer,
18 Devonshire Road, Claughton, Cheshire.
The Banstead Registers begin with the year 1547 and include the baptisms to
1750, the marriages to 1753 and the burials to 1789, to which are added the
monumental inscriptions in the church, the tombstone inscriptions in the church-
yard, and a list of the patrons and vicars. St. Alban's is the most ancient
parish but one in the city of Worcester: unfortunately, however, its Registers
only date back to 1630. "The Registers of Beer Hackett begin in the year 1549
but are not continuous. There are no entries between 1647 and 1658, 1672 aud
1696, and 1707 and 1725. The volume of North Lutlenham contains besides the
Registers a list of the patrons and rectors, monumental inscriptions in the
church and eleven pages of " Notes of briefs and other memoranda." The
Monk Fryston Registers commence with the year in which the present system
of parochial registers was instituted in Englaud (1538).
The Parish Register Society, which was organized for the purpose of print-
ing the early English Parish "Registers in a uniform series, and which has the
support of some of the most eminent antiquaries in Great Britain, has sur-
prised its subscribers both by the amount and the excellence of its tirst year's
work. These volumes are well printed on tine hand-made paper and are tho-
roughly indexed. It is gratifying to notice, also, that each register is printed
in full, verbatim et literatim, from its commencement to (whenever possible) the
year 1812.
In 1897 the Society will issue besides others a part of the important Register
of Stratford on Avon, which contains the baptism and burial of Shakespeare.
It is to be edited by Mr. Richard Savage. As many will want this work who
do not care for the others, separate subscriptions will be received for it at the
ssamerate (£1. 1.0).

Illustrated. Boston : Damrell & Upham. 1S96. 8vo. pp. 729. Price §5 in
cloth, and $6 in half morocco.
The Hon. John J. Currier has written a valuable book, whose title we give
above. It will deeply interest a multitude of readers, and we can heartily
recommend it to our readers. " Ould Newbury" was settled in 1635. It is a
hive from which have swarmed a host of people to build up younger towns by
their energy and thrift. The posterity of these people has multiplied a hun-
dred fold, so that now the descendants of the settlers of Newbury can be found
in every part of our land. They, though widely separated from the parent
hive, will thank Mr. Currier for reproducing for their benefit the history and
traditions of the place where their ancestors lived, and recording what has hap-
pened there belore and after their forefathers left. The present residents of
the locality, though not descended from the first comers, will have as deep an
interest as" they.
Newbury and the towns formed from it has produced many distinguished
men, and as many have adopted it as their home. Mr. Currier has been inde-
fatigable in searching out the incidents in their lives, even when their memory
was growing indistinct, and giving us full biographies, with portraits of them-
selves and views of the homes in which they lived. Among the personal
sketches found here are those of Chief Justice Samuel Sewall, Theophilus
Parsons, Rev. George Whitefield, William Lloyd Garrison, Hannah F. Gould.
Caleb Cushing, Ben. Perley Poore, Eben F. Stone and William Wheelwright.
A portrait of the author's father, John Currier, Jr., an enterprising ship-
builder in Newburyport, who died in 1SS7, embellishes the chapter on "Old
Ship Yards." The author of this book about twenty years ago published a
work entitled " Ship Building on the Merrimac," in which a full account of
this industry may be found.
This locality has been the scene of many events that are a part of our
country's history, and of many whose influence has been felt beyond the limits
of our laud. These are well described by the author, who takes great care to
have them correct in their minutest details.
Mr. Currier is well qualified to write a book like this. He has antiquarian
tastes, and his opportunities for gathering the history and traditions of the
place have been great. He has a clear style, and his descriptions of men and
places are highly interesting. The book makes a handsome volume. The en-
gravings are numerous and of a high order of merit. They consist of portraits,
views of buildings and scenery, maps, etc.
Ancient Families of Bohemia Manor, their Homes and their Graves. By Rev.
Charles Payson Mallort. The Historical Society of Delaware. Wilmington.
1888. 8vo. pp. 74. Price $1.25. Address Rev. Charles P. Mallory, 940 East
177th Street, New York City.
This paper was prepared at the request of the Delaware Historical Society
and was read before it March 21, 1887.
It was published by that Society and forms No. 7 of their series of "Papers."
Bohemia Manor is a name given to a tract of twenty thousand acres of land in
Cecil and New Castle counties granted in the seventeenth century by Lord Balti-
more to Augustine Herman, a native of Bohemia. Mr. Mallory" has written an
account of the settlers on this tract and their descendants. The narrative is
very interesting, and much of historic value concerning that section is preserved.
The Historic Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773. By Caleb A. Wall.
Worcester: Press of F. S. Blauchard &. Co. 1896. 8vo. pp.87. For sale
by C. A. Wall, Worcester, Mass. Price 75 cents.
Mr. Wall, the author of the work before us, has published a number of his-
torical works relating to the city of Worcester, among which may be named
"Reminiscences of Worcester," "North Worcester" and "Eastern Worcester,"
most of which have been noticed in the Register.
In the book before us Mr. Wall treats of the actors in the Tea Party proceed-
ings, and the incidents leading to, accompanying and following that event, with
a short account of the Boston Massacre of March 5, 1770. The occasion of
printing this history was the celebration July 4, 1895 of the twenty-fifth anni-
versary of the dedication of a monument to the memory of Capt. Peter Slater
and his associates in throwing the tea overboard. Short sketches of the actors
on that occasion are given. %

The First Church of Christ, Old Sat/brook-, Conn. The Celebration of the Two
Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversaru, Wednesday, July 1, 1S96. Middletown.
1S96. Svo., pp.'l32.
Although Saybrook was settled in 1635 and was for some years a distinct
government, yet there was no church organized there until 1646. The reason
for this was that the settlement was looked upon as a fort or military post, and
therefore the minister was but a chaplain and his congregation had not the right
to gather themselves into a church. But the history of the church which was
gathered after eleven years delay is full of interest, and its story has been well
told in the addresses contaiued in this volume. The special "historical re-
view" was from the skilled pen of the Rev. Amos S. Chesebrough, D.D., and
as printed in this volume it is a valuable contribution to the eccfesiastical his-
tory of Connecticut. Two or three points deserve particular attention : the
connection of the church with the early days of the Collegiate School, now Yale
College and University; the assembling of the synod which framed the Say-
brook Platform; the fact that two, if not three, of the early pastors were
ordained solely bj the laying-on of the hands of the lay brethren : and the
ministries of Rev. William Hart and Rev. Frederick William Hotchkiss, his
son-in-law, covering together a period of one hundred and eight years. The
ancient Saybrook church, in that part of the original town which is now legally
known as Old Saybrook (the village retains the ancient name), was the mother
of the Norwich church, and from each have sprung many others. Among the
shorter addresses preserved in this volume, those of the most general interest
are that conveying the salutations of the first church in Hartford and that by
the pastor of the first church in Norwich.

Vital Becord of Behoboth, 1642-1S96. By James N. Arnold. Providence:
Narraganset Historical Publishing Company. 1897. Folio. Price S7.
Mr. J. N. Arnold of Providence, R. I., the well known compiler of the Vital
Records of Rhode Island, has prepared and published the Records of this an-
cient town. This work makes a book of nearly 1000 pages of the same style as
his latest Rhode Island volumes. In order to encourage subscription and pat-
ronage he has placed the price at seven dollars, but the price will be raised
after day of publication to ten dollars, at his option. It is advisable therefore
in those who wish this work to order it immediately. We have no hesitancy in
saying that even at ten dollars it is cheap for a volume of materials illustrating
the history of a town. There are over ten thousand marriages aud intentions in
strict duplicate, about twenty thousand births and six thousand deaths, cover-
ing a period of 250 years. When it is realized by the reader that all this mat-
ter is so arranged that every family mentioned on the record is here placed
at once before his eye in its proper place, and that it is uot a mere list of names
but thousands of interesting notes are added. The book and page of the
original town record is given also, thus placing at the reader's command an in-
stant reference to the source of authority. Mr. Arnold is noted for his pains-
taking and he has produced a work that can be relied upon as accurate. From
faded lines and peculiar formation of letters no town record can be copied ex-
actly perfect. The author will get as near to it, however, as humanity is capable.
We have not space to give a sketch of this town, but will say that it once
came within three votes of being made our State capital, that it saw the begin-
ning and end of Philip's war within its borders, and that it was once the most
populous town in the colony.
The lists of early freeman purchasers, settlers and soldiers who served in
Philip's war, and in the Revolution of 1776. Besides these very important lists
he has an index of all names and places mentioned in the volume. %*
A List of American Genealogies ichich have been printed in book form. Arranged
in Alphabetical Order. Compiled by Thomas Allex Glenn. Philadelphia:
Henry T. Coates & Company. 1S97. 4to. pp. 71. Price $2.
This is a very useful book. Its design is to give the titles of all the geneal-
ogies which have appeared in book form in the United States. Its arrange-
ment is alphabetical under the surnames which are the subjects of the various
publications. " The Hand-book of American Genealogy," by William II. Whit-
VOL. LI. 21
238 Book Notices. [April,
more, published in 1S62, was the first book to give a list of American Genealo-
gies. The arrangement was chronological, and besides the titles it gives a de-
scription of the books. It has been a great aid to students of geuealogy.
The present volume brings the list of books down to the present time, and by
its alphabetical arrangement makes it much more easy to consult. It has cross
references, so that genealogies which are published in volumes with those of
other surnames can be easily found. It is therefore a complete catalogue of
American Genealogies in book form.
The book is carefully compiled and handsomely printed, on superior paper
with wide margins. The author thinks as we do that '' besides being of great
value to those directly interested in the genealogy of their family, and particu-
larly to persons connected with the various patriotic heredity societies, the pres-
ent bibliography cannot fail to be of much use to biographers, historians and
librarians throughout the country."

lustrated. 8vo.
This volume, presenting the first fruits of the investigations of the members
of this young Society, shows abundant justification for its existence. That
there is a field for another hi>torical society devoted to Massachusetts history,
working, perhaps, on a broader plane than its more conservative prototype, the
Massachusetts Historical Society, must be acknowledged by the reader of
the valuable papers now published. Mr. Andrew McFarland Davis's "Historical
Work in Massachusetts " affords an exact and full account of the organization
of the local historical societies in the State. Mr. Edes's remarks upon the
Shipwreck of the Palatines give an explanation of the much sought information
as to the destination of the unfortunate emigrants. Ihe "Massachusetts
Election Sermons" are the subject of a critical and historical study by Mr.
Lindsay Swift. The social as well as the religious purport of the institution
which existed from lt>;34 down to 1884, when it was abolished by an Act of the
General Court, is well brought out in this valuable study. So good a bibliogra-
pher as Mr. Swift must regret that circumstances forbade the addition of a
full bibliography of the Sermons. Mr. Edwin M. Wheelwright's work upon
some of the desceudants of John Wheelwright, the Antinomiau article is a
good hit.
An unusually valuable Index occupies pages 453-455 of the volume.

Publishments, Marriages, Births and Deaths from the Earlier Becords of Gor-

tion 100 copies. Price 82.50; free by mail. Sold by Hubbard W. Bryant,
Portland, Me.
The Hon. M. F. King of Portland has performed a service to the inhabitants
of Gorham, Maine, fcy preserving in print all the vital statistics of that town
which are now known to exist. They are now safe from the fate of some other
records of Gorham. Judge Josiah Pierce, when he wrote his History of Gor-
ham, in 1802, had access, says Mr. King, to both proprietors' and town records
for he makes no mention of their loss. Subsequent to 1862 there mu-^t have
been a wholesale removal of books from the town clerk's office, as for several
years the town was left with few records bearing dates prior to the present cen-
1897.] Booh Notices, 239
tnry. "The loss was unaccountable, and the mystery not lessened by the return
four or five years ago of the oldest volumes of the town records express from
Boston, consignee unknown." The town has now no proprietors' records and
the towu records from 1770 to 1803 are missing. The records here printed
were contributed by Mr. King to the Portland Evening Express, and are re-
printed with the type set for that newspaper. The intentions, marriages,
births and deaths are each arranged alphabetically. Ex-Mayor King deserves
much credit for his work.
Signers of the Mayflower Compact. By Annie Arxoux Haxtux. Reprinted
from the "Mail and Express." New York. 1896. Large 4to. 9A in. by 12
in. Part I. Price 25 cts.
The New York " Mail and Express" has been printing during the last two
years a series of articles on the descendants of the signers of the Mayflower
Compact. The demand for back numbers containing those articles has been so
great that the publisher has decided to reprint them. We have before us the
first part of the serial repriut, containing articles on the descendants of the
first fourteen signers. The articles contain much information about the May-
flower Pilgrims and their posterity. We commend the serial to the attention of
our readers.

Wohurn Men in the Indian and other Wars, previous to the Tear 1754. By
Arthur G. Lorixg and William R. Cutter. Boston : David Clapp & Son,
Printers. 1S97. Svo. pp. 15.
This Diary was first printed in Sewall's History of Woburn. Since then the
original has been hopelessly lost, supposed to be burned. This edition was
printed for private distribution by Leonard Thompson of Woburn, a descend-
ant. The diary begins May 24, 1758, when the diarist was twenty-six years old,
and ends Monday, Nov. 6, of the same year. It contains entries made in a
march to Lake George, Ticonderoga and Fort William Henry, the military ser-
vice there, and the return to Woburn. The entries have an historic value which
the elaborate notes of Mr. Cutter increase greatly.
The book is handsomely printed and is illustrated with numerous engravings.
The appendixes of historical matter fill over half the book.
The pamphlet on Woburn Meu is supplementary to the names in the Diary
of Samuel Thompson aud the Appendix to that publication. It is compiled
with great care, and will be found useful.

We continue in this number our quarterly notices of works relating to family
history.
The first book, Mr. Bowen's Lineage of the Bowens of Woodstock, is a
work on which the author has spent much time in collecting the materials and
which is brought out in the highest style of the typographic art. The book
is not intended, says the author, to be a complete genealogy of the
Bowens, but an account of the Bowens of Woodstock, Conn., and their an-
cestry and descendants. The emigrant ancestor of this branch was Griffith
Bowen who came to Xew England about the year 1638 and settled at Boston,
but afterwards returned to England. A briefaccount of him and his descend-
1897.] Book Koikes, 241
ants was contributed to the Register for October, 1893, by the author of this
book. The book before us is illustrated by several views of the residence
of Griffith Boweu before he came to New England, and other ancient buildings
occupied by Bowens. Several tabular pedigrees are given, also a table show-
ing the auce>tors of the author for six generations. The appendix contains
genealogical notes on the families from which he is descended. The book has
a good index.
The book on the Dickerman family is one that any family might be proud
of. The descendants of Thomas Dickerman of Dorchester have been traced
with remarkable success, and the result is a volume of more than six hundred
pages. It is clearly arranged and is well printed on line paper. Interspersed
through the book are eighteen ancestral and family charts which enable the
reader readily to see the relationship of different parties. The index is copious.
The book entitled American Ancestry is a record of the ancestors of every
name of a son of the author, Mrs. Charles E. French, of Minneapolis. The
surnames are arranged alphabetically. As full details as could be obtained of
each person is given. The book is well arranged, handsomely printed, and
well indexed. The edition has been exhausted and a new one is in prepara-
tion.
The Hall Ancestry is a well prepared book and is what its title describes it
to be, sketches of the aucestors of the author's brothers and sister, children of
the late Hon. Samuel H. P. and Mrs. Emeliue (Berkeley) Hall of Binghamton,
N. Y. ; with " some account of nearly one hundred early Puritan families of
New England; also tables showing the royal descents of Mary Lyman and
Sarah Chauncy and of their descendants/' It makes a handsome volume.
The Raikes family to which the tabular pedigree before us is devoted is here
traced to the time of Henry VII. It was compiled by Joseph Foster, F.S.A.,
whose genealogical and biographical works are numerous and of high authority.
It was compiled for Lt. "Col. George Alfred Raikes, F.S.A., author of the
History of the Honourable Artillery Company and other works. Of this family
was Thomas Raikes, governor of the Bank of England, 1797-9.
Mr. Appleton's Gatherings on the Coffin family is a welcome book. Having
"made extensive gatherings concerning the branch of the family that remained
at Newbury," he decided " to priut them for preservation and as a help to him
who shall ever undertake a complete genealogy of the family." The book is
well printed and indexed.
Mr. Upshur's account of the Yeardley family is reprinted from the number
for October, 1890, of the American Historical Magazine, Nashville, Tenn. It
is compiled with care and makes a handsome book.
The next book gives the record of the ancestors in all lines of the children
Of Hon. Johu Davis, Governor of Massachusetts, and his wife, Eliza Baucroft,
sister of George Bancroft, the historian. The records are full and precise and
the lines well carried out. Portraits of Gov. Davis and his wife are given.
The author is Hon. Horace Davis, a son of this couple. The book makes a
handsome volume. It is a good specimen of such books, which have increased
of late.
The book on the Damon family is by Albert F. Damon of Philadelphia. The
author traces his own line of the Damon family aud gives records of some
other families from which he is descended or to which he is allied. It makes a
handsome volume.
The Dodge Ancestry gives sketches of the ancestors of Nathan D. Dodge of
Ipswich, Mass., aud his wife, Sarah Shepard, the parents of the author. " The
book seems to be carefully compiled. It is embelished with portraits of Mr.
Dodge.
The book concerning the Newton and Wallbridge families makes a neat
volume and preserves interesting biographical and genealogical details.
The Van Honten pamphlet originally appeared in the New York Genealogical
and Biographical Record for Jauuarv, 1897, and is repriuted from that periodi-
cal. It is carefully prepared.
The Jaudon pamphlet preserves a record of the descendants of Peter Jaudon,
a native of France, who came to this country and settled in Bucks Co., Pa.
He was the son of Daniel, whose father, Francois, resided in the parish of
Maise, in the city and barony of Soubise. The descendants are traced to the
present day.

The Allen and Deuel pamphlet records the descendants of John Allen who
died at Peru, N. Y., Oct. 11, 1S25, aged 73. It gives his children and grand-
childreo as far as they have been found.
The pamphlet on the ancestors of Moses B. Bass and his wives is the work
of Miss Susan Augusta Smith, of North Pembroke, Mass., and was published
at Boston in 1896. Mr. Bass was born in Boston July, 1735, and died Jan. 31,
1817. The work is well prepared.
The pamphlet on the Teall Family is by Edward M. Teall of Chicago, 111.
It is devoted to the descendants of Oliver Teall who settled in New Haven,
Conn., about 1723.
The Brigham Family Association, whose constitution and proceedings the
next pamphlet gives, has for one of its objects to collect genealogical material
relating to the descendants of Thomas Brigham, the emigraut who settled in
Massachusetts. We hope they will persevere aud collect aud publish a volume.
Mr. Sanborn's first pamphlet, The Samborue Ancestry, is a reprint from the
London Genealogist for January last. His second, The First Sambornes of
Hampton in New Hampshire, is a reprint from the Register for the same
month.
The next pamphlet is by "William S. Appleton, A.M., author of the Sumner
Genealogy, published in 1879. In January. 1831, he published three pages of
Additions aud Corrections: in January, 1882, three more pages; in January,
1883, three pages; in January, 1SSG, three pages; in January, 1890, three
pages; in January, 1892, three pages; in January, 1895, three pages, and we
have here three more pages, bringing the record down to January, 1897. He
has also printed, as a pamphlet. A Partial Bibliography of the Sumner Family.
The pamphlet on Eben Kingman. 2d, is by Eben Kingman of Otis, Maine, and
was originally published in 1^95 in a newspaper.
The work on the Allyu family is by the late Hon. Charles C. Baldwin, LL.D.,
of Cleveland, Ohio. It gives an account of Matthew Allyn, an early settler of
Cambridge, Mass., and his descendants. It is compiled with care as all
Judge Baldwin's works are.
The Elclredge genealogy is a reprint from the Register for January last with
large additions.
The tabular pedigree entitled Thomas Kimberly was prepared to the sixth
generation by Hon. David Kimberly of New Haven. The record of Gilead and
Mary (Bracket) Kimberly is by Mrs. Martha ^Kimberly) Lines. The whole is
a record of the descendants of Thomas Kimberly, an early settler of New
Haven, Conn.
The Reunion of the Lee Family, of which the proceedings are before us,
took place at Farraiugton, Ct., in August, 1896. The exercises on that occasion
show that the members of the family are interested in this work.

earned competence and with an envia-
ble reputation for business ability and
integrity. He was twice married, iirst
to Miss Deborah A. Clarke, who died
Aug. 7, 1S70. He then married 2d,
Miss Sarah E. Janvrin, who survives
him. He left three children : Elizabeth
A., widow of William N. Hobbs and
mother of Charles Austin Hobbs (II.
C. 1SS0), teacher in a private school in
Boston ; Josiah Bartlett Batchelder,
and Edward Sawyer Batchelder, both
in business in Boston, Mass. His eld-
est son, John Franklin Batchelder,
married Mary J. Emerson, and died at
Medford, Mass., Sept. 26, 1SS9, leaving
a widow and two daughters, Fannie
Emerson Batchelder, an assistant libra-
rian in Medford Public Library, and
Abbie Jones Batchelder.
Mrs. Charlotte Holden', born in Tyngs-
borough, on the twelfth of December,
1797, was the daughter of Abner Rich-
ardson Butterrkld, whose father, Cap-
tain Reuben Buttertield, was a soldier
of the Revolution. Her mother, Hep-
zibah Buttrick, was a daughter of Jo-
seph Buttrick, who fought at Concord
Bridge, and a niece of Major John But-
trick, the commander of the " embattled
farmers." Married on the seventeenth
of March, 1S20, to James Holden, of
Tyngsborough, who as a mere youth
had served in Captain Wheeler's com-
pany at Fort Warren during the war
of 1812, Mrs. Holden became a widow
in 1829, and in 1S3G removed to Boston,
where she resided some twenty years.
Afterwards she made her home with
her relatives in Tyngsborough and with
her children in the neighborhood of
Boston. In 1SS9 she went to live with
her grandson, Dr. Austin Holden, in
the " Austin House " on Linmean street
in Cambridge. This house, the oldest
in that city, is a typical New England
dwelling of the seventeenth century.
It was built in 1057 by Deacon John
Cooper, and is still owned by his de-
scendants. A quaint structure, shaded
by lilac bushes and rilled with antique
furniture and relics of by- gone days, it
made a congenial home for the vener-
able occupant whose last years were
here comfortably and serenely passed.
While residing in Boston, Mrs. Hol-
den employed herself in quilting silk
bed spreads, an art now almost forgot-
ten, requiring great deftness in the use
of the needle and much artistic taste.
Many of the older Boston families must
today have specimens of Mrs. Holden's
handiwork. She retained this skill in
needlework to the last, and during the
past few years has made more than one
hundred sofa pillows of silk patchwork,
which she delighted to distribute among
her friends. Even since her ninety-
ninth birthday she had done some deli-
cate embroidery on velvet. Always a
ready correspondent, letter writing con-
tinued a pleasant duty to the last, and
she wrote a letter only a day or two
before her death.
Mrs. Holden's powers of memory,
which would have been remarkable in
a much younger person, were, in the
case of one so aged, simply marvellous.
Her wonderfully retentive mind and
extraordinary accuracy in regard to
dates enabled her to be of great service
to persons who sought her assistance
in questions of local history or geneal-
ogy. She remembered seeing troops
march along the bank of the Merri-
mack River on their way to Canada
during the Avar of 1812, and often spoke
of seeing the light of the conflagration
at Portsmouth, on the night of the
twenty- second of December, 1813, when
that town was partially destroyed by
fire. Unlike most old people, she readily
made new acquaintances and was in-
terested in the events of the day, thor-
oughly enjoying the procession at Cam-
bridge on the third of June last, during
the celebration of the fiftieth anni-
versary of the incorporation of that city.
Soon after coming to Boston, Mrs.
Holden became a member of the Second
Church, Rev. Chandler Robbins, D.D.,
pastor. She was always much attached
to this society, of which she lived to be
the oldest member, and attended ser-
vice as late as April, 1895.
For several years past it has been cus-
tomary for Mrs. Holden to receive her
friends on the anniversary of her birth,
and at her reception on the twelfth
of December last she was able to meet
upwards of sixty persons. Every sum-
mer, including that of 1896, she spent a
few weeks with her relatives in her na-
tive town, where her sister, Mrs. Harriet
Littlehalc, the last of a family remark-
able for its longevity, still resides at
the age of ninety-seven. Of the five
children of James and Charlotte Hol-
den, the youngest, Mrs. Irene Merrill,
of Buxton, Maine, alone survives.
After a brief illness, Mrs. Holden
died in Cambridge, on the first of Feb-
ruary, 1897, and was buried by the side
of her husband in the Thompson Bury-
ing Ground at Tyngsborough.

[This family of Foote whose wills I have here sriven should be of interest to
many in New England. Joshua Foote, one of the sons of Robert Foote of
Shalford, was a citizen and ironmonger of London, and his name will be found
often mentioned in Lechford's NoteBook and also in the Records of Suffolk
county, Mass. He went to Roxbnrv and afterwards to Providence, as Savage
informs us, and died there in 1655.* His will was dated 2 October of that year,
*&nd under it administration was granted at Boston, 31 October of same year, to
Joshua Ilewes, who also was of Roxbury and who is proved by these wills to
have been his nephew, being a son of John Ilewes of Royston by Mary, daugh-
ter of Robert Foote of Shalford and sister of Joshua Foote. I would suggest
also that Nathaniel Foote of Watertown mav have been another of the sons of
Robert Foote of Shalford. Elizabeth Goddard, the wife of William Goddard
of Watertown, turns out to be connected with this family; but I take it she was
not a Foote but a Miles, sister of that Rev. Joseph Miles whose will I have
given and stepdaughter of Robert Foote, citizen and irrocerof London (brother
of Joshua and Nathaniel Foote and of Mrs. Mary Hewes). I find that commis-

sion issued at Loudon 18 June, 1631 to Elizabeth Miles relict of Benjamin Miles
lately of Ware, Herts, to administer his goods &c. This may have been the
father of Joseph Miles and Elizabeth Goddard. If so it was this widow
Elizabeth Miles who afterwards became the wife of Robert Foote.
Another iuteresing connection of this family is with the Onslow family and
with Sir John Lewis, a brother-in-law of our Nathaniel Newdigate or Newgate.
Still another is with that " famous " family of Juxon as (I think) Cotton
Mather calls them, which was connected with New England through the
Sheafes and the Byfields and also with Virginia. The wills relating to the
Juxons and their connections will follow. Let me first however give a short

devoted to Loudon Pedigrees and the Visitation of Surrey (Add. MS. 5533,

[The manuscript of Edward Goddard, b. 1675. d. 1754, in Framingham,
states: " My mother's father's name was Benj. Miles; he died when she was
young, left but two children, viz. : herself and one brother named Joseph, who
was educated for and afterward settled in the work of the ministry at a place
called Red-riff, which is a border of ye city of Loudon. My grandmother
Miles had a second husband, one Mr. Foot, a worthy and religious merchant of
London, and cousiu german to her former husband ; had another, 1 — Roberts,
educated a merchant. * * * * He was a great benefactor to my mother
during her life: sent tokens of his love yearly to us who were her children;
after her decease, at his death, left a legacy of £400 sterling, to be divided
among us. The substance of his estate he left to his wife, and to a worthy
kinsman descended from the family of the Foots, viz.: Mr. Samuel Lambert,
who approved himself not only a just and honest man to us all, but a great
benefactoi to me."
The same manuscript states that the writer's father came to New England
under the following circumstances: "His mother-in-law, Mrs. Foot, in her
widowhood, lent £100 sterling to a brother of hers in New England, who for
her security mortgaged his house and lands, but though he lived many years
afterward, yet paid neither principal nor interest. Consequently, at his death,
his mother gave him the debt, and he coming over for it in 1065 found nothing
to be had, excepting the housing and lands mortgaged." — W. K. Watklns.]

[ In the Kegister, Yol. xxviii.. p. 42S, Oct. 1S73, is given an obituary notice of
Martiu Bowen Scott of Cleveland, Ohio, which shows his descent from Richard
Scott of Providence R. I., stated to have been boru in Scotland in 1607.
In the Register for Jan. 1S6S (Yol. xxii., p. 13), Mr. Scott gave some notes
on the lineage of Richard Scott of Providence, which was also reprinted in a
pamphlet of nine pages. He attempted to destroy the theory advanced by some
that Richard was the son of Edward Scott of Glemsford, Suffolk, Eng., and ad-
vanced the conclusion that Richard was a son of Richard, a brother of Edward.

Providence, R. I., was son of Edward Scott of Glemsford. Suffolk, Eng.

[Lachlan Mackintosh of Borlum, Scotland, came to New England in his youth
and located at Bristol, R. I., where he had an uncle Col. Henry Mackintosh.
15 Aug., 1721, the intention of marriage between Elizabeth, the daughter of
Henry, and Lachlan Mackintosh, was published. By this marriage was Eliza-
beth, born 13 Sept., 1722, and Mary, born 22 Aug., 1723.
• In the month of June, 1723, the father was cast away at sea on a voyage
home to Bristol. At his death the Borlum estate in Scotland went to the heirs
male; but the Badenoch estates of Rains and others were not so destined, and
the young daughters of Lachlan were possible claimants. The widow married
again, but probably had died before 173G, at which time the two girls were be-
ing brought up by a Mr. Lewis of Boston, his wife being a Miss Palmer, and
with them dwelt her brother Thomas Palmer.
A younger brother of Lachlan Mackintosh came to Xew England to obtain
the custody of his neices. He did not succeed, even after an appeal to the
Governor. He then invited Mr. Lewis and wife and the two young ladies to
dine with him, and on their return, between 9 and 10 in the evening, they were
set upon by a dozen men and the two young ladies carried aboard a vessel bound
for England. In the affray Thomas Palmer was wounded, but not seriously,
and, obtaining a warrant from the Governor, went with ten armed men to the
vessel on the next day, which was Sunday, and brought back Siiaw Mackintosh
and his neices, and though about church time the' people were so incensed

[The earliest recorded pedigree of the Bankes (Banke, Banks, Banckes)
family of England relates to the ancient Yorkshire family seated at Bank New-
ton in Craven in the West Riding of that county and who trace a descent from
Simon Banke, who married 7 Edward III. (1333), the daughter and heiress of
Robert de Catherton and held jure u/orix the above named manor. Although
Simon appears as the head of this, the oldest line in respect to a recorded pedi-
gree, it is not certain that this branch represents the original stock, for in one
of the Harleian MSS. there appears the arms of Bankes of Bank Newton
amongst those of " The Knight and Gentlemen of the Couutre of York as served
King Edward the First in Scotland and elsewhere." A family of this name
resided in Richmondshire (one of the sub-divisions of the county of York), be-
fore the time of Simon Banke of Bank Newton, for in the Subsidy Kolls of 30
Edward I. (1301), we have a William del Banke paying a subsidy at Richmond,
and Henry fil. Robert del Banke paying subsidy at Marske in Richmondshire, 33
Edward I. ; also a Richard del Banke at Fremiugton in Richmondshire in 1300-1
paying 3-7 subsidy. A Robert del Banks was sworn to give evidence in 1320
concerning the foundation of the Chantry of Pateley Bridge (Speight, Nidder-
dale and the Garden of the Nidd, passim). It seems, however, that most of
the branches of this family in England either trace by recorded herald visita-
tions or by other equally established means, to this Craven stock or to the
1897.] Genealogical Gleanings in England. 263
Lancashire county Bankses who arc undoubtedly an offshoot of the York line
through migration to the ad joining shire. All the arms of the other Banks
families are merely variants of the Bank Newton coat, viz. : sable, a cross or,
between four fleur-de-lis argent. The cross in one is engrailed, in another is
surcharged, in another becomes ermine, while one shield has a canton, and
another substitutes two eagle heads for two fleur-de-lis. This seems to show
a common descent from the simple original of the Bank Newton stock. The
crests of course difler in each branch.
The family of Banks, whose wills appear here, are descended from John1
Banks of Lancashire who migrated to Kent, seated himself at Ashford in that
county and died in 1579. By his wife Margery Masterson of Wiunington. Co.
Chester, he had issue, and the following pedigree of this family has been con-
structed from the wills here given, from the visitations of London, 1G33
(Harl.-Soc, p. 42), and other miscellaneous sources: —
i. Caleb2 (the testator first named), b. 1560 and d. March 1597-S, married
Margaret Epps and had :
1. Lvdia,3 b. 15S7.
2. John, b. 15S9; d. 1614.
3. Katherine, b. 1591.
4. Thomas, b. and d. 1592.

iv. John.
v. Priscilla, b. 1571 ; m. Alexander Thurston, 12 Feb. 1594.
vi. Tabitua.
vii. Lydia, d. infancy.
John2 (John1), another testator, was of Maidstone and London, in which
latter place he died in the summer of 1642, leaving issue by his wife Mary,
daughter of Alexander Fisher of Maidstone, as follows :
1. Caleb,3 son and heir.
2. Margaret, m. Thomas Andrew.
3. Katherine, b. 1603; m. John Davie.
4. John, b. 1608.
5. Lydia, emigrated to Salem, Mass., about 163S and became a member
of the First Church. She returned to England in 1642 and in 1664
was given letters of dismissal to Rev. Mr. Nye's church in London.
In 1655 her " Plain Farm " (so called) of 400 acres at Salem was sold
for £123. (Felt. Annals.)
6. Elizabeth, m. (1) Thomas Grigsby, (2) Radford.
7. Friscilla, b. 1613; m. Thomas Read of Wickford, Essex, a relative by
marriage to Governor John Wintlirop.
8. Mary, b. 1618 ; m. Nathaniel Weeks.
Caleb3 (John,2 John1), another testator, of Maidstone, Kent, has some
indirect connection with New England colonization (vide Founders of New
England, p. 83). He m. Martha, daughter of Stephen Dame of Feversham, in
the same county, and had issue :
1. Elizabeth,4 b. 1621.
2. Mary, b. 1626; m. Jacob Willett, 1648.
* 3. John, b. 1627, of Aylesford; Baronet 1661, M. P.; d. 1699. He m.
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Dethick, knt., Lord Mayor of Lon-
don, by whom he had issue :

The Sir John4 Banks above mentioned must not be confonnded -with a con-
temporary of the same name, who was the Lord Chief Justice of Common Pleas
under Charles the First. This later Sir John Bankes, Kt. LL.D., was born at
Keswick, in Cumberland, about 15S9, and died at Oxford, December 28, 1644.
His wife, Mary Haw-trey, became the heroic defender of Corfe Castle during the
Civil War (a place purchased by Sir John in 1635), and now a picturesque ruin
in Dorsetshire; and for several generations the sons of this family were Mem-
bers of Parliament for Corfe Castle, although seated after its destruction at
Kingston Lacy in the same county. A Christopher Banks of the Giggleswick
(Co. York) branch, b. 1615. M.A. of St. Peter's College, Cambridge, who entered
the Roman Catholic priesthood, states that Sir John was a relative of his, thus
indicating the kinship of the various branches seated in York, Lancashire and
other northern counties.
Thus far my researches have failed to establish a connection with any Eng-
lish family for my ancestor Richard Bankes of York, Maine, who d. 1692, and
whose descendants, arranged in the usual Register form, are printed in vol. 44,
p. 258, of the Register. He first came to Scituate, Mass., and soon removed to
York, Me., about 1640. in company with Abraham Preble and John Twisden (both
of whom were probably Kentish men), and together they settled that part of
York known for many years as "Scituate" Parish.

1635, in the "Elizabeth" (Register, vol. 14, p. 312). James settled in Dor-
chester, Mass. His brother Clement Bate came with his family to New England
in the same ship (ibid, p. 305), and settled at Hingham. The testator, Bichard,
is No. 1G in the pedigree which follows.
The parish of Lydd is situated on the south-east coast of England, near
Dunge Ness, half way between Hastings and Folkestone. Anciently called
Hlyden. The municipal government was formerly vested in a bailiff, jurats and
freemeu. The church of All Saints, a stone building of the early English,
decorated and perpendicular styles, contains some memorials of the Bate
family; as do also the churches at Ashford and other parishes in Kent. At
Lydd is the memorial stone of Thomas Bate, born September, 1567, freeman,
jurat thirteen years, and several times bailitF, lieuteuant of the train band fifteen
years, lived in wedlock forty-eight years, had three sons and three daughters,
buried 5 May, 1637. Also the stone of father and son, — "John the son of
Thomas Bate and Thomas Bate the son of John Bate, gent," and of the most
ancient house. John died 1G April, 1G42, aged 38; jurat and bailiff. Thomas
died 27 Jan. 1657, aged 24.
The stone erected to Richard Bate, gent, the son of James of Dorchester, whose
will is here given, reads :-—*' Here lieth the body of Richard Bate, ''gent, son
of James and Alice Bate sometime of this towne." ",He left issue by his first
wife Susan, daughter of George Isham of London, gent, one son, viz. James."
" And with him heir lieth the body of Ellen, his second wife, daughter of Mr.
John Wallis, sometime minister of Ashford in this county, by whom he had is-
sue 4 sons and one daughter, Richard, John, Samuel and Stephen, and Anne;
when he had lived with her neare 20 years she died ye 17th day of June in the
42D(1 yeare of her age. He died the 6th March following Anno 1656 iu the 47th
year of his age after he had been bayliff of this Corporation six times."
The arms of the family, as shown in the different memorials, are sable, a
fess between three dexter hands couped argent.

[The testator was of Ratcliffe, Stepney, and of Eastwood, Essex. He was
an alderman of London and vestryman of the parish of Stepney, the ancestor
of all of the name who afterwards figured iu the history of New England. In
158S he fitted out at hi* own expense, "and commanded, two ships : the " Samuel "
and " Little Toby," with which he joined the Royal Navy to oppose the Spanish
Armada. His name and services are commemorated upon the memorial lately
erected in Plymouth. He is said to have been sou of another Johu Vassall who
came to England from France, a member of an ancient family of Rinart, by
Cany, in Normandy.*
The testator was three times married in St. Dunstan, Stepney: 1st, 25 Sept.

[This William Vassall, second son of John of the Armada, was the assistant
in our Massachusetts Bay Co. He married, 1613, Anne, daughter of George and
Joaue King of Cold Norton. Essex, and came here in 1G35. — (See Register,
xvii., 57 et seq.). After a brief residence at Scituate, he departed, and died in
Barbadoes in 1G55. An only sou, John, survived him; married Anna, daughter
of John Lewis; was called Colonel; lived in North Carolina. Virginia and
Jamaica; and left at lea^t live sons. In my extended account of the family in
the Register in 1863, this John was confounded with another of the name, the
son of Samuel of Bedale. The researches of the Rev. William Vassall, lately
rector of Wear Gilford, and now of St. Servan. Ille et Vilaine, France, and of
Mr. W. Duncombe Pink of Leigh, have fully established the line as indicated in
these notes. Of the five sons left by John and Anna (Lewis), the eldest, John,
left sons, but the name appears to have died out in this branch with his grand-
sons; of the second and third sous, William and Henry, nothing appears; the next
son, Florentius, was of St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, married Auu Beckford, and was
the father of that Florentius who erected the King's Chapel monument, and
whose granddaughter Elizabeth achieved notoriety (see Register, xvii., p. 126).
Leonard, the youngest son of Colonel John, was the Bostou man, whither he
came from Jamaica about 1723. His sons were: Leicis, H. C. 1723, of Quiucy,
father of Lewis, H. C. 17C0, who went to the West Indies and left issue there;
John, H. C, 1732, of Cambridge, whose great great grandson, Captain Spencer
V. F. Henslowe, is now of Colehester, Essex: William, H. C. 1733, of Boston,
the Refugee, whose great great grandson is the Rev. William Vassall, now of
St. Servan, France*; Henry, of Cambridge, who died in 1769, and was buried
beneath Christ Church there, leaving no male issue. — E. D. Harris.]

[Almost all the foregoing abstracts of wills I have had ready for the Glean-
ings these many years past, but I had waited in the hope to add to them the
will of Stephen Boroughe or Burrouirh. the father of Judith, the wife of John
Vassall. This, as will be seen, I found at last in the Rochester Court. Then,
too, I wanted to learn more about the family of Mr. Abraham Cartwright
whose daughter Frances became the wife of Samuel Vassall. The wills of
William and Alice Wade and Thomas Symonds show clearly enough who the
wife of Abraham Cartwright was and a Cartwright pedigree in the Visitation
of London for 1G33. 1634 indicates the family to which her husband may have
belonged. I should like, however, a little more light on that subject. There
is a pedigree of Va-sall also in the same Visitation of London, which, by the
way, makes a mistake in the order of the wives of John Vassall, whose will
shows that Judith was his last wife. She is also called in that Visitation the
daughter of William Borough. The wills show that he was her uncle, and that
her father was Stephen Borough. This, Visitation pedigree appears also in
Harleian MS. 147o. I noted there a memorandum which possibly may not be
found in the printed Visitation. It is this : " The Armes respited untill he can
send into Frauce where Lis Ancestors remained." I have noted too that this
family have been noticed in Burke's Commoners and Landed Gentry and in back
numbers of this Register and the Heraldic Journal. Through the kindness of
one of my friends in the College of Arms I was once allowed to examine a
book of Miscellaneous Pedigrees (A. I.. I. II., Vol. I). In it I found a pedigree
of this family which I copied roughly into a note book which I regret to say
I have left behind in London. This if I recollect aright comes down so as to in-
clude the generation of Florentine Vassall and even later. I have, too, one or
two notes of other wills which I have not yet found time to abstract and
which I hope to furnish later. The following notes, however, may well come
in here. .

NEW-ENGLAND
HISTORICAL AKD GENEALOGICAL
REGISTER.
JULY, 1897.
THOMAS BOND.
Thomas Bond, whose portrait accompanies this sketch, was a son
of Lieut. Thomas and Mrs. Lvdia Bond, and was bora at West-
boro', Mass., September 17, 1777. His father, Thomas, born at
Westboro', January 30, 1749, and married May 22, 1765, to Lydia
Newton, resided first in Westboro', then in North Brookfield,
and finally in Brookfield, Mass. The family are descended from
William Bond, an early settler of Watertown, Mass., who was a
son of Thomas and Elizabeth Bond of Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk
county, England, where he was baptized in the church of St. James,
September 8, 1625. A very full genealogy of the descendants of
the emigrant is printed in the Genealogies and History of Water-
town by Henry Bond, M.D., of Philadelphia, a relative of the sub-
ject of this sketch. Other genealogies are found in Temple's History
of North Brookfield, and in Autobiographical llemmiscences of
Rev. Alvan Bond.
Thomas Bond was a merchant in North Brookfield until 1825,
when he retired from business with a competent fortune and settled
in Springfield, Mass. He was a representative to the Massachusetts
General Court from North Brookfield while he resided there, and
after his removal to Springfield he represented that town in the
same body. He married Jemima Holloway Bush of Boylston,
Mass., October 1, 1801.
He resided in Springfield twenty-seven years, and died there after
a brief illness, on Wednesday, January 6, 1852, in his seventy-fourth
year. In an obituary of him printed in a newspaper published in
that town the day after his death, he is spoken of as "one of it3
oldest and most respected citizens." His character is extolled in the
highest terms. The spotless honor, the discriminating and unos-
tentatious benevolence and other sterling traits which he exhibited
during the many years which he spent in Springfield endeared him
to the people there.

294 First Settlers in Stow, ATass. [July,
THE FIRST TWO SETTLERS IX STOW, MASS.,
AND THEIR FATE.
Remarks ox the Article m the Register for October, 1896.*
By Abraham G. E. Hale, Esq., of Stow, Mass.
In the Register of October, 1896, Rev. Geo. F. Clark makes the fol-
lowing statement :
"At the Bi-centennial of Stow, May, 18S3, a stone was erected near the spot
where it is believed that John Kettell," supposed to be one of the first settlers of
the town, built his log cabin. It bears this inscription : ' John Kettell, one of
the first settlers in Stow, lived here. He was killed by the Indians. Feb. 10,
1676.' "We think this statement is erroneous, as we shall attempt to show. In-
deed, there is very serious doubt whether John Kettell ever lived upon the place
in the westerly part of Stow, near the original line of Lancaster."
Mr. Clark further states that " There is no evidence that John Kettell or
any other person by the name of Kettell ever lived upon it," that is the
" Kettell farm," and he attempts to prove these statements by introducing
a mass of documentary evidence embracing the period from 1060 to 1721.
In the first place I wish to call attention to a single quotation of Mr.
Clark from the centennial address of Rev. Jonathan Newell at Stow in the
year 1783, viz.: "About 130 years ago two adventurers from Charlestowu,
Messrs. Boon and Kettell, with their families, settled upon lands they had
purchased of the Indians, which lauds are known by their names to this
day." " He (Newell) further states that Boon was murdered by the In-
dians in King Philip's war, but says nothing relative to the death of Ket-
tell, which is a very significant fact." This statement, as made by Mr.
Clark, it seems to me, is misleading. Mr. Newell, in his address, after
speaking of the growing hostility of the Indians towards the English dur-
ing the latter part of the year 1675 and the first of the year 1676 and the
combination of the several tribes under Philip as their head, says: "It so
alarmed our two defenceless settlers as to induce them to remove with their
families, but while Boon was attempting to remove he was murdered by
the Indians."
It will be noticed that Mr. Newell takes occasion to speak of the misfor-
tune that befell Boon while " removing" and which does not necessarily
carry any inference with it of any subsequent prosperity or adversity of
Kettell. In the same century sermon, Mr. Newell, speaking of the Revolu-
tionary war, congratulated the town upon the fact that none of the sol-
diers of Stow were "slain" in that war. But from that statement no one
could necessarily infer that none of the Stow soldiers died while serving in
that war. The truth is, as I found by searching the records, at the State
House, that several Stow soldiers did die while serving in that war, and
whose names were placed on memorial tablets at the Bi-centennial of the
incorporation of the town, as were the names of the first two settlers of
the town marked on monuments which stand in their respective localities.
* See pages 483-185.
.
1897.] First Settlers in Stow, Mass. 295
The omission of Mr. Newell to speak of Kettell's fate, while at the same
time speaking of Boon's misfortune (being killed), is not any more " sig-
nificant " than while speaking of the good fortune of the town in not hav-
ing any of its soldiers " slain " he omitted to speak of those that died in
the war. A word in regard to Kettell's living in Stow at any time; for if
he or his family never lived there, it is plain there could have been no re-
moving from thence, and Rev. Mr. Newell must have been laboring under a
delusion when, iu the year 1783, he stated as a fact that Boon and Ket-
tell with their families did settle iu Stow about 1653. I have already stated
what he said on that point. Mr. Newell, who was very conservative both
in his thoughts and utterance — a searcher after truth — a thorough scholar,
who was ordained in Stow as a minister, iu the year 1774, as a colleague
with the then venerable Rev. Mr. Gardner, who came to Stow from
Charlestown in the year 1713 — the same place from whence Boon and Ket-
tell moved to Stow some sixty years previous. Noting the fact also that
Charlestown was the place for the registry of deeds and probating of wills
for Middlesex county, and bearing in mind, also, that Mr. Newell was a
graduate of Harvard College, I say in view of all these facts it must be
apparent that Mr. Newell had excellent opportunities for obtaining reliable
iuformation in regard to the first settlers in Stow, and consequently his
statements are entitled to great weight. Then again, the Rev. Timothy
Harrington, the pastor of the first church in Lancaster, a man of great re-
search— a good historical mind — says in his century sermon in the year
1753, that in the year 1653 there were nine families in that town that year
when it was incorporated. Speaking of that period he says : v' The town
was in Peace and prosperity for the space of 22 years from its incorpora-
tion and the Indians were very serviceable to the Inhabitants by supplying
such corn and wild meat as they stood in need of and at very moderate
terms but on the 24th of June, 1675, Philip of Pokanoket rebelled against
the English and began a bloody and destructive war."
We can naturally infer then that there was safety and security in the ad-
joining plantation of Pomposetticut, as it was called, which was thirty
years afterwards incorporated as a town and named Stow, Boon and Ket-
tell, according to Rev. Jona. Newell, settling there about that time. But
Mr. Clark disputes the fact that Kettell ever lived in Pomposetticut, after-
wards called Stow, and that he got a title to his land by purchase from the
Indians previous to 1660 or subsequent to that date, and that the land was
called after his name. I think I am stating his position correctly. I have
seen an old deed, now in the possession of Silas W. Hale, who was born on
the farm described in that deed, and is a lineal descendant of the grantee
named in the deed, viz. Israel Held sen. (Hale then being spelt Held or
Heald). In a letter to me Mr. Hale quotes thus: " In a deed from Rich-
ard Burk to Israel Held sen., both of the town of Stow which deed is
dated February 8, 1706, "and acknowledged Sept. 11, 1706, and recorded
at Charlestown Sept. 22, 1708, in the registry of deeds for Middlesex, Lib.
14, page 593-594, I find these words: 'being in this town on both sides of
a little brook called Kettell's brook and is bounded at the upper end of said
brook by the reputed line of Marlborough on both sides of the brook ....
in Kettell's line .... also five acres of cedar swamp .... and is situate near
said lot and near or adjoining Kettell's farm in this town, at the eastward
end of said farm.' " " Kettell's farm" and " Kettell's brook" and " Kettell's
line " are alluded to several times in that deed as will be noticed.
296 First Settlers in Stow, Mass. [July,
That Kettell monument, whose inscription is called in question by Mr.
Clark, stands on an elevation by the spot where Kettell is reputed to have
lived, and which is bat a few rods from the " Kettell brook," a stream of
pure and lasting water, so pure that in my time and generation it is
known as " Sandy brook," which 1 have crossed hundreds of times. Four-
teen years ago Mrs. Sally W. Hale (then a widow, her husband P^phraim
being dead) then an owner of this Kettell farm which had been owned by
the Hales since A.D. 170(5, in an affidavit she then signed and swore to,
stated that that spot where the monument stands has always been known
and pointed out, by her ancestors, as the place where Kettell lived.
Then the significance of the name of the brook " Kettell.*' There is a
brook or small river a mile distant, and in a northerly direction from the
Hale farm, where I was born, and adjoining the Kettell farm, which brook
I used to cross in my boyhood in going to and from school, and which in an
old deed to Israel (Heald) Hale, dated 170G, is called " Asebath " or " Else-
betli " or " Essebet," but which in my time has been known and is now
commonly called by the town's people " Ililey Brook," and the bridge we
crossed " Hiley bridge." A deep depression on the bank several rods from
this river about the same distance as the Kettell monument stands from the
Kettell brook and near the " Ililey bridge," used to be pointed out to me as
the spot where Hiley lived, and hence the names " Hiley bridge " and " Hi-
ley brook." I became satisfied that a man by the name of V Hiley " had
lived there about one hundred years ago. Some years ago an aunt of
mine, Lucy Wetherbee (whose maiden name was Hale), the mother of the
said Sally Hale, who was born in the year 1790 and had lived on the Ket-
tell farm, told me that a Ililey family had lived by that Hiley bridge and
brook to her certain knowledge; that she had seen that family in her girl-
hood, and she also described the family to me. But she had just as much
faith to believe that Kettell lived where the monument stands, and on which
are inscribed the words " John Kettle lived here," on the statement she had
received from a near ancestor, as I have to believe, that Henry Hiley lived
by the Hiley brook, and also that John Kettell lived where the monument
now stands, resting as I do my faith on the evidence and incidents that
have come to my mind.
According to Parson Newell, John Kettell wras in possession of the Ket-
tell farm, as early as 1G53 — " about " that time, as he stated it. And if
Symonds of Ipswich was the owner of this farm as early as 1660, and if
even he owned it up to the year of his death, 1678, as I understand Mr.
Clark to claim, still there appears to be no evidence that John Kettell was
driven away ox dispossessed of this farm until the Indian raids began in dif-
ferent loc: lities in Massachusetts on or before the year 1676. The state-
ment made by James Kettell, a grandson of John Kettell, who subsequently
became an owner of this farm claimed to have been owned by Symonds, in
a deed conveying his interest therein, that this property was ''formerly in
possession of my honored grandfather John Kettell," was true. It is plain
then, from the statement of Rev. Mr. Newell, that John Kettell came into
possession of this farm besides other lands, by right of purchase from the
Indians; we conclude then that the inscription on the monument, " John
Kettell lived here " is correct, and that the town was right in erecting that
monument to mark the locality where one of the first two settlers in Stow
lived. In reference to the other statement inscribed on the monument, I
will say, frankly, that, in view of apparent conflicting statements in an-
cient records that have since come to light, there is room for differences of

opiuion among candid men. Here is the other part of the inscription on
the monument: 4i lie (Kettell) was killed by the Indians February 10,
1676." The Rev. Mr. Harrington, in his century sermon to which I have
alluded and which was " For sale 1753 A.D. at Queen st. opposite the jail
Boston N. E." He says that ,v The Indians under Philip on the 10th of
February 1676 assaulted the garrison of Rev. Mr. Rowlandson, in which
there were soldiers and inhabitants to the number of 42 — and of this num-
ber all of the meu with one exception were either slain or reserved for tor-
ture and about 20 women and children were carried into captivity." He
enumerates those who were killed, viz. : " Ensign Divol, Abraham Josse-
lyn, Daniel Gaines, Thomas Rowlandson, William and Josiah Curley, John
McLeod, John Kettell and two sons Josiah Divol &c."
A subsequent historian of Lancaster also asserts that John Kettell and
his two sons were among the killed in that Indian raid on Lancaster in
March 1676. If we are correct in our reasoning John Kettell was living
with his family near the border of Lancaster in the locality afterwards
named Stow, near the closing of the year 1675 or early in 1676, and we
conclude that, in view of the dangers that threatened him, from the grow-
ing hostility of the Indians, he fled first to a garrison near the centre
of what is now the town of Bolton (then Lancaster) some four or live
miles from his residence, as according to some historians there was one
there, and from thence to the strong garrison of Rev. Mr. Rowlandson in
the centre of Lancaster. Iu regard to the fact whether Kettell was ac-
tually killed by the Indians or only frightened away from his home by
them, in view of apparent conflicting evidence, as I have already intimated,
in reference to that matter, the reader must draw his own inference from
what seems probable under the circumstances, the chief object of the town,
in the erection of this monument, being to mark the place of the habitation
of one of the two pioneer settlers of the town of Stow.

GENEALOGICAL NOMENCLATURE.
By B : PlCKMAN Manx, Esq., of Washington, D. C.
In the course of some years' work on the genealogy of the family to
which I belong, I have found no satisfactory system of indicating relation-
ship employed in any genealogical tables. I have before me now illustra-
tions of two systems of genealogical nomenclature, the one in a pamphlet
relating to the Peabody family, and the other in a book relating to the
Mann family, which are as good as any I have seen in use.
In the former, the fourteen children of the first immigrant, Francis
Peabody, are designated by a double set of numerals 1-1 to 14-14. Fran-
cis is designated as of the first generation and his as the first family.
-
306 Genealogical Nomenclature. [July,
Five of his seven sons had families, which are designated as of the third
generation, and constitute the second to the sixth families. Four of the
seven daughters were married, but their families find no place in the sys-
tem. Hence the fourth son, who happens also to be the fourth child of
Francis, is designated : —
4-4 Isaac, b. 1648. (5)
where the first 4 indicates the order of individuals consecutively numbered
without distinction of generations or families, the second 4 indicates the
order of this child in his father's family, and (5) indicates the number of
Isaac's family.
Further along, this Isaac appears as follows : —
(5) II. Isaac Peabody (4-1),
where II. indicates the second generation, and the other numerals are as
before given.
This Isaac had twelve children, designated as 40-1 to 51-12. Four of
the seven sons had families, designated (17) to (20). All of the five
daughters married, but no further account is taken of them.
Following out this system, my mother's father appears as a son, as fol-
lows:—
389-2. Nathaniel, b. Mar. 30, 1774 (134)
and /is a father, as follows : —
(134) V. Dr. Nathaniel Peabody. [389-2]
The numerals here given suffice for reference backward and forward,
but have no other significance, except that the numeral 2 shows my grand-
father to have been a second child, and the Roman numeral that he belonged
to the fifth generation. These numerals are fixed, and allow of no intercala-
tion, in case further research show some son to have had a family of which the
genealogist was ignorant. No place is left for designating the issues of the
daughters, who, though losing the name if they marry, are none the less
representatives of the family.
There can be no interest in knowing that my grandfather was the 389th
individual in the family, or that his family was the 134th, in this enumera-
tion, for a re-enumeration with more information mi^ht change the figures.
D C J?
In the Mann genealogy,* William Man, who came from England at an
unknown date, had an only son Samuel, whose family of eleven children
is designated as family (2), and the children as i. to xi. The six sons had
families (3) to (8); the five daughters married. The names of the daugh-
ters'children are given, but no further notice of them is taken.
My father appears as a son, as: —
19. iv. Horace, b. May 4, 1796,
and as a father, as : —
(19.) Horace Mann (Thomas,5 Nathan,4 Thomas,8 Samuel,2 William1),
where (19) designates the number of the family, the superior numbers
the generations, and the names in parentheses the direct male ancestors.
The individuals are not numbered consecutively, and the succession of chil-
dren in the family is not retained as a designation. The numerals are not
indicative of relationship, in kind or degree. Family (1G) is that of my
grandfather's second cousin, and family (18) is that of my uncle.
Many years ago I devised a system which I have used ever since, and
have found to cover every desirable feature of definite reference, ex-
cept that a serial arrangement uses fewer figures than an expansive ar-

rangenient, but this disadvantage is of trivial importance in comparison
with the advantage of being able to express relationships definitely, and to
make intercalations indefinitely without change. This system is based on
the principle of decimal fractious, but as the great size of some families
demands the use of more than nine digits, the alphabet is used instead of
numerals.
According to this system, Samuel, the only son of the first William, is-
made the basis. His eleven children are designated a to h. His son.
Thomas appears asy. Thomas (f) had seven children, fa tofg, the fourth.
of whom was Nathan ffd). Nathan (fd) had seven children, fda to fdg.
I, the third child of the fourth child of Nathan's seventh, am fdg, dc. My
second brother's son is fdg. dba.
Samuel having been of the second generation, I am of the seventh, as
appears from the number of letters representing me : 2-f-5=7. The
oldest representative of the oldest branch possible in this generation would
be aaa, aa. The oldest of whom I know, who bears the name is abd, da.
These designations admit of exact and ready reference forward and back-
ward. A card catalogue of names can be formed, which can be arranged
alphabetically as an index; or by generations, as all persons designated
by two letters belong to the fourth generation ; or by stocks, as all persons
whose designation begins with the same letter or letters belong to the same ■
stock. Each person is known in all relations by a fixed designation.
If, instead of reckoning downward from one ancestor, I wish to reckon'
upward from myself, my father becomes F, and my mother M; my father's
parents are F2 and FM ; my mother's parents MF and M2. In this way
the first William Man is Fe ; one of my uncles on my mother's side is
MFcf, and his two children, my cousins, are MFda and MFdb. No one
else can bear the same designation.
This system admits of many elaborations in different directions. If I
do not know whether an ancestor is a first, second or third child, I can.
insert a letter S for son or D for daughter, "thus: bmSce, leaving the
blank to be filled later, or can arbitrarily designate several son3 in one
family S1? S2, etc., as bmS3ce.
A husband or wife, who would have no other designation in a descend-
ing series, may be designated by adding H or W to the name of the de-
scendant, thus: my father's first wife would be fdg, dW1; his second wife
(my mother), fdg, c?Wa; if his first wife had been a widow with a child,
when he married her, his step-child would have been fdg, dW^, and his
first child would have been fdg, da.

ANCESTRY OF REV. JOHN SHERMAN AND CAPT. JOHN
SHERMAN.
By a Descendant of Capt. John Sherman.
The Genealogical Gleanings of Mr. Waters in the April and July num-
bers (1896) of the Register contain a number of wills which throw light
on the lineage of the Shermans of Dedham, England, and Watertown, Mass.
It is proposed to call attention to the information given in some of these
wills concerning Rev. John Sherman aud Capt. John Sherman of Water-
town.
The accompanying Pedigree table shows their descent from Henry1
Sherman, the elder of Colchester, whose will is dated 1589 [281].*
Samuel3 Shermau, a son of Edmund" Sherman, by his second wife Anne
Clere. and a grandson of Henry1 Sherman the eider of Colchester, made
bis will in 1643 (392).
It contains valuable information of his relatives in New England, con-
firming and adding to our knowledge of the family.
He gives legacies to Rev. John Sherman and Samuel, his brother, and to
their sisters and to their mother. He meutions their father, and places
their legacies in the hands of Edmund, their brother, to be sent over by
him to New England. We read in the will of legacies :
"To my loving sister Sherman, Edmund's widow."
This Edmund, whose widow is Samuel's -'loving sister Sherman," was a
half brother of the testator and was the father of Rev. John. According
to Savage, he was at Wetherstield f in 1635, aud went to New Kaven,
where he died iu 1 641.
He was the "Olde Father Shirman " of whom, in New Haven Colony
Records, Vol. 1, page 52, we read :
"3 Mon. 1641. An Inventory and will of Olde Father Shirman was
delivered into Court."
Unfortunately the will and the inventory are missing, and no copy or
account of them can be found.
Samuel Sherman's will is dated 1643. Edmund died as has been said
in 1641. There is little doubt but that he was the "Olde Father Shirman"
who died in New Haven, and that his widow was the " Widd " Sherman
who received an allotment of land in New Haven with the other first plan-
ters of the town.
The " cousin Edmund Shermau " in this will was Rev. John's brother
who came to Watertown and returned to England. He was dolus, busi-
ness and in correspondence with friends and relatives iu New England, and
could easily send over these legacies.
Bond, in his History of Watertown, page 1088, says, in 1663 he sent a
power of attorney to his brother Rev. John Sherman of Watertown, to
bring suit agaiust " the assignees " for two broadcloths sent over to Thomas
Hammond.

who was probably the wife of Andrew Ward of Waterto wn 1634,Wethersfield
1635, a very prominent and influential man. He aud his brother-in-law,
Samuel Sherman, were leaders in the settlement of Stamford, Conn., in 1640.
The testator speaks of his brother Richard, who died in Boston, aud
whose will is in Vol. ix., p. 227 of the Register, and of the two children
of Richard, Samuel and Alice. He also sends £10 in linen cloth and
shoes to his sister Mary Bacon in New England.
The Sherman ancestors of Rev. John Sherman were : Edmund,s who
came to New England and died in New Haven (Edmund,- Henry1).
As to Edmund3 Sherman (Henry,'2 Henry1) there is no evidence that he
came to this country. He married Judith Anger and is called by his
sister Anne Wilsou in her will in 1638 [390], ,; my brother Edmuud Sher-
man of Colchester." She speaks in her will of her daughter Phoebe
Barnard of New England, and had her brother PZdmuud been in New
England in 1633 it is not likely he would be described as of Colchester.
This Anne Wilson was Anne Sherman (Henry,2 Henry1) who married
1st Anthony Whiting and 2d Thomas Wilson.
The parentage of Capt. John Sherman, Watertown, freeman, May 17,
1637, is not so easily traced. Some of his descendants may be interested
in the reasons which may be given for thinking that he was ,the son of
John3 Sherman (Henry,2 Henry1) and of Grace Makin, daughter of To-
bias Makin of Fingnnhoe, County Essex, England, whose will [286] is
dated May 14, 1610.
These Sherman wills show that Anne Sherman (Edmund,2 Henry1) mar-
ried John Anger. In her will dated 1625 [-403] is this bequest:
" I give to the two children of the wife of Thomas Rogers, John Sher-
man and Richard Sherman, my kinsmen, ten shillings a piece at their ages
of one and twenty."
This bequest tells that Thomas Rogers married a widow whose former
husband was named Sherman, by whom she had these two children,
John Sherman and 'Richard Sherman.
It also follows that the father of these two children was dead in 1625,
for that is the date of Anne Anger's will.
It will be shown that this John Sherman was our Capt. John, and that
this Thomas Rogers was the Thomas Rogers who came to Watertown,
Bond says probably in 1630, and was made freeman May 17,1637, and
who died November 12, 1638, aged 50, wThose house lot in Watertown
Capt. John Sherman bought.
Thomas Rogers had one child by this widow Sherman, a daughter
Elizabeth, who married Daniel Smith.
After the death of Thomas Rogers, his widow Grace Sherman Rogers
married for her third husband William Palmer, widower.
Palmer's daughter Martha, by a former wife, had married Capt. John
Sherman. They were married before Thomas Rogers died, for their first
child John Sherman was born November 2, 1638.
William Palmer died after 1650, for in that year he agreed to release to
his son-in-law John Sherman, land in Great Ormsby, Co. Norfolk, Eng-
land. It is supposed he came from that place. His widow Grace Sher-
man Rogers Palmer married for her fourth husband Roger Porter,
widower, who died April 3, 1654, aged 71.*

[n Mass. Colony Records, Vol. 4. p. 232 we read :
1655, May 29: k* In answer to the petition of Grace Porter craving the
favor of this Court for liberty to sell the house and lands, she stand?
possessed of mentioned in her petition : The Court grants her request, so
as Daniel Smith of Watertown, husband of the daughter of Thomas
Rodgers, have notice given him by Jno Sherman of the Court condescen-
sion, unless the said Smith at the next session of this Court shall show
cause to the contrary."
Grace Porter died in Watertown, leaving a will proved June 17, 1G62.
It will be seeu from an abstract of her will which follows that she was
the mother of Capt John Sherman, and this fact proves that the John
Sherman described in the will of Anne Anger, as one of the two children
of the wife of Thomas Rogers, was our Capt. John Sherman, and this
being so, Thomas Rogers must be identical with the Thomas Rogers who
came to Watertown and died in 1G38.
Grace Porter gives nothing to the children of William Palrner or Roger
Porter, but only to children of her blood. An abstract of her will is as
follows:
After devises to her " son John Sherman and to her daughter Elizabeth
Smith" (who was her daughter by Thomas Rogers, and widow of Daniel
Smith who died 1660), and after legacies to " her grandchildren," each of
whom she names, viz.: to Daniel Smith, who was son of her daughter
Elizabeth Rogers, and to John, Martha, Mary, Sarah and Joseph Sher-
man, all the children then living of Capt. John Sherman, she directs the
residue to be divided equally between u her said son John Sherman, and her
said daughter Elizabeth Smith."' '* My brother John Coolidge and Lieu-
tenaut Richard Beers to be executors."
My cousin John Sherman to be overseer, to whom " I give as followeth
to my said cousin Sherman the sum of forty shillings, and twenty shillings
apiece to each of my said executors, brother John Coolidg and Lieutenant
Beers."
" Witnesses John Sherman and Mary Sherman."
The will is not dated.
On one page of the inventory of this residue, a note about the division
of Grace Porter's estate says :
" In case their brother in England shall legally obtaiu against the estate
that they jointly and equally do tender estate for satisfying the same that
so neither side may be unequally represented by this award. The 8th of
July, 1662, Simon Willard, Richard Russell, Thomas Danforth."
" Their brother in England" is without doubt the Richard Sherman
described in the bequest in Anne Anger's will, as one of the two children
of the wife of Thomas Rogers.
Mr. Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary says Capt. John Sherman
died January 25, 1691, aged 76, which makes 1615 the year of his birth.
Id looking through these wills to find the father of Capt. John two facts
which have been brought to light in the preceding pages are of great as-
sistance, to wit: that Capt. John's father died before 1625, and that his
mother's christian name was Grace. So that none of the grandsons of Hen-
ry1 the elder of Colchester, who are known to have been living after 1625,
and none of those who died before 1625 leaving a widow surviving whose
christian name was other than Grace, could have been the father of our
Capt. John.
...
312 Sherman Ancestry. [July,
Applying these tests to the grandsons of Flenry1 who are mentioned in
these wills, the evidence is now submitted which leads to the conclusion
that Capt. John Sherman's ancestry is John3, Henry2, Henry1.
In the will of Henry1 the elder of Colchester (281) are the names of his
sons living in 1589, to wit:
Henry,2 Edmund2 and Robert2.
Robert2, " Doctor in Phissick," lived in London. He had two sous Rob-
ert and Richard, neither of them meutioned in the will of their grandfather
in 15S9. We hear no more of them after their father's will in 1602 (284).
It does not seem probable that either of them would have been old enough
if liviug in 1615, the year of Capt. John's birth, to have been his father.
He left surviving a widow Bridget.
Edmund2 had by his first wife Anne Pelatte three sons, viz: Edmund,8
Richard3 and Bezaleel,3 and by his second wife Anne Cleare three sons:
Samuel,3 John8 and Benjamin.8 (See his will [283] and his wife's will
[284].) All these six sons were living after 1625, except Bezaleel.
Edrnuud8 is the Edmund Sherman who died in New Haven in 1641.
Richard3 died in Boston in 1660.
Bezaleel3 died in 1618 (288) leaving a daughter Ursula and a son John.
The legacy to the son John in Ann Anger's will (403) shows he is not our
Capt. John, to whom also she gives a legacy calling him one of the two
■children of the wife of Thomas Rogers. He left a widow surviving —
Priscilla.
Samuel.3 His will was made in 1643 (391) and in it he mentions as liv-
in^ theu his brothers John3 and Benjamin.8
Take now the sons of Henry2:
In his will (285) he names six sons as living in 1610, to wit: Henry,8
.Nathaniel,*. Daniel,3 John,3 Ezekiel3 and Edmund3 who is spoken of as Ed-
mund of Colchester in some of the wills.
Henry3 made his will in 1642 (393).
Ezekiel3 and Edmund3 are mentioned as living in the will of their sister
Anne Wilson in 1633 (390).
Nathaniel3 was baptized July 11, 1582 (415). His will in 1615 (287)
tells us of but two sons Nathaniel and Joseph. He left a widow surviving
— Priscilla.
Daniel3 was married to Christian Chapman in 1601 (414). He is not
mentioned after the will of his mother Susan Sherman in 1610 (286). He
had a son John whose will dated 1658 (395) shows conclusively he is not
Capt. John. Daniel3 left a will dated April 1, 1633, which is not in the
•Gleanings of Mr. Waters. A brief abstract of this will is given at the end
•of this article.
Samuel,8 who is not mentioned in the will of his father but is mentioned
in the will of his mother Susan Sherman 1610 (286) had probably a wife
Philippa, by whom he had five children; whose baptisms are given on pages
415-416. One transcriber of the Dedham Parish Register copies the burial
of Sara Sherman thus:
"1612 Dec. 5, Sara dau. of Samuel and Phillipa Sherman."
But in the burials on page 417, Phillipa happens to be omitted.
It is evident then that neither of these six sons of Henry2 was Capt.
John's father. The only son of Henry2 now left is John.3 Of him noth-
ing is known after the will of his mother Susan Sherman in 1610 (28G).
In the absence of direct evidence the result of this process of elimination
must determine the question, and John3 Sherman the son of Henry2 and
.
.
1897.] Sherman Ancestry. 313
grandson of Henry1 the elder of Colchester, must be accepted as the father
of our Capt. John.4
As to Edmund Sherman who is mentioned in the will of Tobias Makin
which is dated 1610 (286).
It is probable that he is the Edmund3 Sherman (Edmund,2 Henry1) who
was the father of Rev. John Sherman.
That he married Joaue Makin is not improbable.
If Tobias Makin's will is read with care it will be seen that he does not
say that his daughter Grace Sherman is the wife of Edmund Sherman, nor
that Richard Sherman the son of Edmund Sherman is his grandchild,
though from the context, this legacy to Richard following the legacy to his
grandchild Elizabeth Potter, the inference is a fair one that he was his
grandchild, and this inference is supported by the baptism of Dedham Parish
Register (page 416) where we read:
" 1608 Oct. 16, Richard son of Edmund and Jone Sherman."
Grace Makin called by Tobias ''Grace Sherman my daughter" may very
plausibly be supposed to be our Grace Porter who married first John Sher-
man, and second Thomas Rogers. His place in the Rogers family is not
ascertained.
Here it may be said that John Rogers, the famous preacher of Dedham,
owned land in Fiugrinhoe where Tobias Makin lived, for in (Vol. 41, page
175 Register) he and his wife Dorothy sell it, and that Rev. Richard Rog-
ers (Vol. 41, page 167 Register) makes " sou Makin" one of the overseers
of his will, and that a Thomas Makin was one of the witnesses of Ann An-
ger's will (403).
Evidently the Rogers and Makin families were intimate, and also ac-
quainted with the Shermans.
It may be noticed that John Sherman and Mary Sherman were witnesses
of Grace Porter's will. They were without doubt Rev. John Sherman and
his wife Mary. Grace calls him " my cousin " which is not inconsistent
with the theory that Rev. John's mother might be her sister; cousin often
meaning in those days nephew and niece.
There is a tradition which has come down in one branch of the Sherman
family from a grandson of Capt. John, that the Rev. John and Capt. John
were cousins in the modern rneauinf' of the word, their fathers bei;)£ broth-
ers. It is now known that their fathers were not brothers, but if their
mothers were sisters the tradition would be nearer the truth thau most tra-
ditions are.
It is not forgotten that Grace Porter in her will calls John Coolidge her
brother, implying she was Grace Coolidge before marriage, but though a
strong point, it may not be thought to be conclusive. Some evidence has
been given against it. She might have called John Coolidge her brother, if
his wife, whose family name is not known, should have been a sister of
either of Grace's four husbauds.
That Grace Porter was the mother of Capt. John Sherman is a fact. It
would be gratifying to know whether she was Grace Coolidge or Grace
Makin or of some other family, and also to know whether Joan Makin mar-
ried Edmund3 Sherman (Edmund,2 Henry1) and was the mother of Rev.
John.
The facts suggesting these questions deserve to be noticed, but the ques-
tions must wait for a satisfactory answer until evidence of a positive char-
acter shall be found to determine them.

1897.] Descendants of Robert Hebert. 317
We hear of Robert Hebart and his wife Joan first at Salem, Mass., where
he was an early settler. His name appeared in the list of settlers for
1616: "Robert Hibberd and wife Joan." Felt {Annals of Salem, ii.. 175,
176) states that he was in Salem in 1639. and refers to him as "Robert
Ht bard, salt-maker." He may have been one of those who came over for
the purpose of assisting John TTiuthrop, Jr., at his salt works. The records
of the First Church of Salem state that 4* Rob't Hebbert and Joanna his
wife" were admitted to communion May 3, 1646. In 1659, he ibousjht
thirteen acres of land in Salem from William Hascoll, and is descr bed as
" Robert Hibbird, bricklayer." {Essex Deeds, Book i., p. 63.) He later re-
moved to Beverly, and in 1670-1 conveys land there to a married daugh-
ter. {Essex Deeds. Book iv., p. 87.) He is then described as '; Robert
Hibbert, bricklayer." His will is dated April 9, 1 684 {Essex Probate Records,
Book Xo. 2, Old Series, p. 35), and to it he makes his mark, which, as
he could write, shows him to have been very feeble. In the will, he states
that he has already made some provision for his children during his life
time, and confirms these grants. A life estate in most of the property is
given to his wife, and she is made executrix. The inventory of the estate
was £281. 6. 6.

I suppose you have heard long since of the Capture of the Privateer I
sailed in from Marblehead, & of our being carried to Forton Prison (in
England). I wrote to you on the Subject, while in Prison, by a Gentle-
man, hound from England, by way of Holland, to America, but doubt
whether you have received the letter — I have the Pleasure to acquaint
you, that I made my Escape from Prison with one of our Officers the 2'1 of
April Last, by Force of half a Guinea & arrived at London in a Stage
Coach in about two days after — Was conducted to a house, where acci-
dentally I met our Kinsman the Rev'1 Mr Wn Clark, who recieved me with
great civility, tarried with him near a Fortnight. As I had no Money he
generously paid my Board, & lent me live Guineas to defray my Expenses
to France.
Mr Clark informs me he has 120£ Sterling pr Month Living, & is in
Expectation of more, lives in a handsome Chamber, which together with
his Board stands him about a Guinea pr Week. After his Arrival in Eng-
land, he was informed of the Loss of his Wife In Child Bearing together
with her infant. She died at Newport about a year ago — the Loss he
feels very heavily — he presents his respects to you.

After taking Leave of Mr Clark, got a Passage to Ostend in Flanders
in a Dutch Vessel, from thence proceeded to Dunkirk in Stage Coach,
where I found several Americans who helped me considerably. As there
were no Vessels bound to America, from that Port, I was obliged to go
to Paris to obtain Money of Dr Franklin to carry me to America — the
4th of May I was received by the Dr with great Politeness, he furnished
with 5 Guineas & a Passport to Nantes, whence I arrived about the 10th
of May — On the 12th of May entered as Surgeon on Board the Ship

Ship sailed from Nantes to Bordeaux where I stayed seven or eight
mouths — on the fifth of Septembr We set sail from Bordeaux & arrived
here after a pleasant Passage, of 40 Days. We shall set sail from this
Place in o or 4 Days for France — I receive 4 Guineas Wages pr Month &

[Concluded from page 158.]
Jefferson to Monroe.
Washington, July 17, 1802.
Dear Sir
After writing you on the 15th I turned to my letter file to see what
letters I had written to Callender and found them to have been of the dates
of 1798 Oct. 11. and 1799 Sept. 6. and Oct. 6. But on looking for the
letters they were not in their places nor to be found. On recollection I be-
lieve I sent them to you a year or two ago. If you have them I shall be
glad to receive them at Monticello where I shall be on this day sennight
I inclose you a paper which shows the Tories mean to pervert these chari-
ties to Callender as much as they can. They will probably first represent
326 Jefferson and Cullender. [July,
niator, is he not answerable for the influence which his example has upon
the manners and morals of the community?
Until I read Callendar's seventh letter containing your compliment to
him as a writer, and your reward of 50 dollars, I could not be made to be-
lieve, that such measures could have been resorted to ; to stab the fair fame,
and upright intentions of one, who to use your own language, "' was acting
from an honest conviction in his own mind that he was right." This sir, I
considered as a personal injury. This was the sword that cut asunder
the Gordian knot, which could not be untied by all the efforts of party
spirit, by rivalship, by jealousy or any other malignant fiend. The serpent
you cherished and warmed, bit the hand that nourished it, and gave you
sufficient specimens of his talents, his gratitude, his justice, and his truth.
When such vipers are let loose upon society : all distinction between virtue
and vice are levelled, all respect for character is lost in the overwhelming
deluge of calumny, that respect which is a necessary bond in the social
union, and which gives ellicaey to laws, and teaches the subject to obey
the magestrate, and the child to submit to the parent.
There is one other act of your administration which I considered as per-
sonally unkind, and which your own mind will readily suggest to you, but
as it neither affected character or reputation I forbear to state it.
This letter is written in confidence. No eye but my own has seen what
has passed. Faithful are the wounds of a friend. Often have I wished
to see a different course pursued by you. I bear no malice. I cherish no
eumit}7. I would not retaliate if I could. Nay more in the true spirit of
Christian charity, I would forgive, as I hope to be forgiven. And with
that disposition of mind and heart,
I subscribe the name of
Abigial Adams.
Jefferson to Mrs. Adcuns.
Washington, July 22, 1804.
Dear Madam, — Your favor of the 1st instant was duly received, and I
would not have again intruded on you, but to rectify certain facts which
seem not to have been presented to you under their true aspect. My char-
ities to Callendar are considered as rewards for his calumnies. As early, I
think, as 1796, I was told in Philadelphia that Callendar, the author of the
Politica-1 Pro^res- of Britain, was in the city, a fugitive from persecution
for having written that book, and in distress. I had read and approved the
book; I considered him as a man of genius, unjustly persecuted. I knew
nothing of his private character, and immediately expressed my readiness
to contribute to his relief, and to serve him. It was a considerable time
after, that, on application from a person who thought of him as 1 did, I
contributed to his relief, and afterwards repeated the contribution. Him-
self I did not see till long after, nor ever more than two or three times.
When he first began to write, he told some useful truths in his coarse way;
but nobody sooner disapproved of bis writing than I did, or wished more
that he would be silent. My charities to him were no more meant as en-
couragements to his scurrilities, than those I ^ive to the be^ar at my door
are meant as rewards tor the vices of his life, and to make them chargeable
to myself. In truth, they would have been greater to him, had he never
written a word after the work for which he fled from Britain. With re-
spect to the calumnies and falsehoods which writers and printers at large
•
•

published against Mr. Adams, I was as far from stooping to any concern or
approbation of them, as Mr. Adams was respecting those of Porcupine,
Fenno, or Russell, who published volumes against me for every sentence
vended by their opponents against Mr. Adams. But I never supposed Mr.
Adams had any participation in the atrocities of these editors, or their
writers. I knew myself incapable of that base warfare, and believed him
to be so. On the contrary, whatever I may have thought of the acts of the
administration of that day, I have ever borne testimony to Mr. Adams' per-
sonal worth; nor was it ever impeached in my presence, without a just vin-
dication of it on my part. I never supposed that any person who knew
either of us, could believe that either of us meddled in that dirty work.
But another fact is, that I " liberated a wretch who was suffering for a libel
against Mr. Adams." I do not know who was the particular wretch alluded
to; but I discharged every person under punishment or prosecution under
the sedition law, because I considered, and now consider, that law to be a
nullity, as absolute and as palpable as if Congress had ordered us to fall
down and worship a golden image; and that it was as much my duty to ar-
rest its execution in every stage, as it would have been to have rescued from
the fiery furnace those who should have been cast into it for refusing to
worship the image. It was accordingly done in every instance, without
asking what the offenders had done, or against whom they had offended,
but whether the pains they were suffering were inflicted under the pretended
sedition law. It was certainly possible that my motives for contributing to
the relief of Calleudar, and liberating sufferers under the sedition law,
might have been to protect, encourage, and reward slander; but they may
also have been those which inspire ordinary charities to objects of distress,
meritorious or not, or the obligation of an oath to protect the Constitution,
violated by an unauthorized act of Congress. Which of these were my
motives, must be decided by a regard to the general tenor of my life. On
this I am not afraid to appeal to the nation at large, to posterity, and still
less to that Being who sees himself our motives, who will judge us from
his own knowledge of them, and not on the testimony of Porcupine or
Fenno.

Abigail Adams to Jefferson.
Quincy, August 18th, 1804.
Sir
Your letter of July 22d was by some mistake in the post ofBce
at Boston sent back as far as New York, so that it did not reach me until
the eleventh of this month. Candour requires of me a reply. Your state-
ment respecting Callendar, (who was the wretch referred to) and your mo-
tives for liberating him, wear a different aspect as explained by you, from
the impression which they had made, not only upon my mind, but upon the
minds of all those whom I ever heard speak upon the subject. With re-
gard to the acts under which he was punished different persons entertain
different opinions respecting it. It lies not with me to decide upon its
validity. That I presume devolved upon the supreme judges of the nation.
But I have understood that the power that makes a law, is alone competent
to the repeal. If a chief Magestrate can by his will annul a law, where is
the difference between a Republican and a despotic government?

328 Ancestry of Amos Otis. [July,
That some restraint should be laid upon the assassin who stabs reputation,
all civilized nations have assented to. In no country has calumny false-
hood and revileing stalked abroad more licentiously, than in this. No po-
litical character has been secure from its attacks. No reputation so fair, as
not to be wounded by it until truth aud falsehood lie in one undistinguished
heap. If there are no checks to be resorted to in the laws of the land,
and no reperation to be made to the injured, will not mau become the
judge and avenger of his own wrongs, and as in a late instance, the sword
and pistol decide the contest? All the Christian and social virtues will be
banished the land. All that makes life desirable, and softens the ferocious
passions of man will assume a savage deportment, and like Cain of old,
every man's hand will be against his neighbor.
Party spirit is blind, malevolent, uncandid, ungenerous, unjust and un-
forgiving. It is equally sounder federal as under democratic banners. Yet up-
on both sides are characters, who possess honest views, and act from honora-
ble motives, who disdain to be led blindfold, and who tho' entertaining
different opinions have for their object the public welfare and happiness.
These are the characters, who abhor calumny and evil speaking, and who
will never descend to newspaper reviling. And you have done Mr. Adams
justice in believing him, incapable of such conduct. He has never written
a line in any newspaper to which his name has not been affixed. Since he
was elected President of the United States the writers in the public pa-
pers, and their employers, are altogether unknown to him.
I have seen and known that much of the conduct of a public ruler, is
liable to be misunderstood, and misrepresented. Party hatred by its dead-
ly poison blinds the eyes and envenoms the heart. It is fatal to the integ-
rity of the moral character. It sees not that wisdom dwells with modera-
tion, aud that firmness of conduct is seldom united with outrageous violence
of sentiment. Thus blame is too often liberally bestowed upon actions, which
if fully understood and candidly judged would merit praise instead of cen-
sure. It is only by the general issue of measures producing baneful or
beneficial effects that they ought to be tested.
ANCESTRY OF AMOS OTIS, ESQ., OF YARMOUTH
PORT, MASS.
The Author of TriE "Barnstable Families."
By Frank William SrBAGUE, Esq., of Boston, Mass.
Hon. James Savage, LL.D., in his record of the Otis Family
in his K Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New Eng-
land," vol. 3, pp. 323-5, remarks that "Mr. Otis, the assiduous
antiquary of Yarmouth, from whom I have gained much knowledge
of Scituate, Barn-table and Yarmouth early settlers, is derived from
another stock emigrating at least eighty years later than the Hingham
pioneer, and coming from a part of England widely removed from
the first." Mr. Savage was in error in this statement. Amos-
Otis, the author of the "Barnstable Families," was a lineal descen-
dant of John2 Otis who settled in Hingham, the ancestor of James
1897.] Ancestry of Amos Otis. 329
Otis, the patriot orator of the Revolution, as will be seen in the
following pedigree :
I. 'John1 Otis, born in Barnstable, Devonshire, England, 1581, came
to Hingham, New England, in 1635. His son:
2. John2 Otis, born in Barnstable, England, 1620, accompanied his
parents in their emigration to New England, and settlement of Hingham.
He married in 1652-3, Mary, daughter of Nicholas Jacob of Hingham.
This date has been given as 1662-3, but " Hobart's Diary" gives it 1652-3.
Mary Jacobs was the only wife of John2. Their sou :
3. John3 Otis, born in Hingham, 1657, married Mercy Bacon of
Barnstable, 18 July, 1683. For twenty years he was representative to
General Court, eighteen years commander of the militia of the County, for
thirteen years Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and first Judge
of Probate. In 1706 he was chosen one of his Majesty's Council, and sat
at that honorable board twenty-one years. He died Sept. 23, 1727, aged
70. His son :
4. Solomon4 Otis, born at Barnstable, 13 Oct., 1696. graduated H. C.
1717; married Jane Turner of Scituate. He held numerous offices in his
native town, such Register of Deeds, County Treasurer, etc. He died 2
June, 1778. His son :
5. Amos5 Otis, born 14 June, 1737, married Catharine Delap, 7 Nov.,
1767. He was a mariner, and died December, 1771. His son:
6. Amos6 Otis, born in Barnstable, 12 Sept.. 1768, married 1st, Nancy
Farnsworth; married 2d, Sally Farnsworth. He had rive children by each
wife.
7. Amos7 Otis, son of Amos6 Otis and his first wife, Nancy Farnsworth,
was born in Barnstable, 17 Aug., 1801; married Mary, daughter of Adine
Hinckley, by his second wife, Abigail Smith. She was born 1 May, 1810.
He died at his home in Yarmouth Port, Mass., 19 Oct., 1876, aged 74. He
was Cashier of the Barnstable Bank. He was also Secretary and Treas-
urer of the Barnstable County Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and one
of the directors of the Cape Cod Railroad. He was the author of " Barn-
stable Families." As his own aucestral line does not appear in that work,
it seems desirable that it should appear in the New-England Historic
Genealogical Register. Mr. Otis had three children: 1. Abigail Otis
(not living). 2. Henry* Otis (lives in New Orleans). 3. Georges Otis.

330 Matthew Marvin and his Second Wife. [July,
MATTHEW MARVIN AND HIS SECOND WIFE,
WIDOW ALICE BOUTON.
By "William T. R. Maryix, A.M., of Boston. Mass.
In the Genealogy of the Marvin Family, printed in the Register (Vol,
XVI., p. 250 et seq.), which was furnished by my father, the late Theophi-
lus R. Marvin, and in the Marvin portion of the " Family Memorials,"
published by Mr. aud Mrs. Edw. E. Salisbury, of New Haven, and com-
piled by myself, it is stated (p. 91) that the first Matthew Marvin, who
came to New Euglaud in the "Increase," Capt. Lea, in 1635, and settled
in Hartford, and later in Norwalk, Ct., married as his second wife " Mrs.
Alice Kellogg." I have recently found that this was an inference made by
one of his correspondents, — whether based on an inspection of the will of
Alice Marvin, or from some other source, caunot now be determined. The
discovery of this will by the late Allyn S. Kellogg, while searching for his
own ancestry — he being a descendant of Alice Marvin — seems to show
that the inference was made from the will, because it mentions her " daugh-
ter Briggit Kellock,*' who was the wife of Daniel Kellogg, and it was
known that Bridget was the daughter of a John Bouton ; aud no other John
being known than the husband of Abigail Marvin, then living, it was
thought that Daniel was her own son, and not her son-in-law. This will,
of which I give an abstract, is recorded in the Fairfield Probate Records,
Vol. III. (1675-89), page 61. It is so important as bringing to light facts
hitherto uukuown, and as completely disproving the statements concerning
the man supposed to be the first John Bouton in New Eugland, which are
given in the " Bouton-Boughton Family," that it seems desirable to place
these facts in the hands of genealogists, and to correct the errors noted.
The abstract is as follows:
Will of ''Alee (sic) Marvin of Norwocke .... being aged seaventee
years or thereabouts."
"Imprimis, I doe will and bequeath the sum of twenty pounds to my sonn
John Bowton and to my daughter Bridgit Killock, to be equally devided between
thos two : That is to say, ten pounds apiece.*'
"Item, I doe give after my decease, to my daughter Briggit Kellock my
scarfe and my best cloath waskcot and my best serg coat and my best green
apron and the best of my two under cotten coats and my spectacles."
44 Item, I doe give unto my daughter Abigal Bowton my best hat and my best
cloke and my serge wa^tcoats and my under cotten wastcoat and a pair of
lether gloves, 2 brass small wayts."
"Item, I doe give to my daughter Rachell Smith my penne (stone?) coat
and my flannel wastcoat, and to my grandchild Sarah Brinsmead my Cheast;
and toniy grandchild Ruth Bowton my brass kettle 3 old pewter dishes and a
brass Chafendish and a gilpot : and to my grandchild Rachell Bowton my
Bible."
Remainder; " my will is shall be devided between my two dafter (sic) Brig-
get Kellock & Rachell Smith. The hetchell my will is, half to my sonn John
Bowton and half to my daughter Brigget Kellock, etc."

Inventory, " Last of January, 1C80." (1681.)
Amount; 3G. 2. 8.
1897.] Matthew Marvin and his Second Wife. 331
It is to be noticed first, that the testatrix remembers with gifts of money
her "sonn, John Bowton " (who married Abigail Marvin), rather than his
wife, and her "daughter Briggit Kellock." who it is certainly known was
Bridget Bouton when she married Daniel Kellogg, rather than her husband ;
thus giving to those who were her children by blood, and not by marriage,
legacies amounting to £20 which had been the property of Alice before
she married Matthew Marvin, as I shall presently show, while Daniel Kel-
logg is not named.
In the will of Matthew Marvin, dated Dec. 20, 1678 (Fairfield Probate
Records, III., p. o$>, et scq.), who died before his wife, he first of all be-
queathes "unto my dearly beloved wife Alice Marvin, the sum of twenty
pounds as her owne true and proper estate: for her to will aud order as
she pleaseth, etc." Clearly we have here the £20 which she gives to her
sole surviving children by her first husband, and which she felt in duty
bound to leave them. . She remembers her son's wife, Abigail, and Rachel
Smith, who I believe was her daughter by her second husband, Matthew
Marvin, as there were at least four and probably five of Matthew's daugh-
ters by his first wife living when Alice's will was made, but not mentioned
therein, viz: Elizabeth Olmstead, Sarah Curtis, Mary Adgate, Hannah
" Semer," and Rebecca Clarke. (The latter is not named in either of the
articles on the Marvin Family named above, but I have lately obtained
information concerning this daughter and she is mentioned in Matthew's
will.)
We may well believe that the reason why Rachel received no more was
because she and her husband, Samuel Smith, had already been provided
for by Matthew; on Dec. 23, 1674, about four years before his death, he
gave her " 50 pounds worth of my comonage lot, halfe my home-lot. etc."
(See Norwalk Land Records, folio 61; the volume has no index, and is
badly out of binding.)
The next person mentioned in Alice's will is her grandchild, Sarah
Brinsmead, the married daughter of Bridget,* who does not concern us,
aud finally we have " my grandchild, Ruth Bowton." This last Mr. Kel-
logg aptly calls " a most illuminating reference." This Ruth was the
posthumous daughter of Richard Bowton and Ruth Turney; the latter was
a daughter of Benjamin Turney, of Concord and Fairfield, born Jan. 28,
1643-4. The reference therefore proves that the said Richard Bowton was
the son of Alice Marvin by her previous husband. As both Bridget and
John are called on different Norwalk records the children of a John, and on
Fairfield records Abigail's husband John is called the "uncle" of Ruth,
we have the name of Richard's father, and the proof that Alice's first hus-
band was a John Bowton, facts hitherto unknown. These facts are corro-
borated by other documents on the Fairfield Probate Records, which I
will next cite.
I. On page 1, Vol. II., is the '-'Inventory of Richard Bowton, lately
deceased," dated June 27, 1 665, in which we find " Coopers Tools, 3:5: 0."
He left no will, but on the day he died said to Joseph Middlebrook and
his wife Mary (who I believe was the widow of Benjamin Turney and if so
was Richard Bowton's mother-in-law), that he "would give his estate to
Ruth, his wife, excepting his tools." The Court approved this as his will;
"Only it is provided that if the said Ruth shall now be with child, the said
child shall have its part of the estate as the Courte shall hear after think
♦An inspection of the dates of birth of Bridget's children, in Hall's "Norwalk," p.
187, shows manifest errors.

.
332 Matthew Marvin and his Second Wife, [July,
meet, yf there be occasion. And yf ther be no issue of the deceased, then
it is ordered by the Courte that John Boicton, sonn of John Boicton, shall
have the said deceaseds tools, the Court apprehending it was the will of the
deceased it should be so."
Here we fiud that John2 Bowton who married Abigail Marvin, was the
u son of John," for although John3 had a son John3 in 1G65. he was then a
mere child (born Sept. 30, 1659), and it is hardly supposable that Richard2
in dying would have passed over his brother and left his tools to a boy six
years old, or that the Court would have approved such an act.
II. Richard's widow, Ruth, died shortly after, leaving an infant child
Ruth, -of whom more hereafter, who is the Ruth mentioned in -Alice's will.
The inventory of widow Ruth is given under date of November 7, 1666;
it amounts to £91: 06: 7, and mentions "meadow and uplands, £10."
(Ibid. II, 16.) Reference to this land appears below.
III. On page 17 is still a more important document. It is an agree-
ment signed by Matthew Marvin, Senr., Rob: Turney, and John Bowton,2
November 8, 1G66, the day after the inventory was entered; I have a full
copy of this, but it is too long to quote in full : it begins "Wee whose names
are underwritten being Realations to Ruth Bowton, the daughter of Richard
Bowton and Ruth his wife, late of ftairfield, deceased, etc." It goes on to
provide for the care of the infant child, and her support out of the estate
left by her mother; in case of her death the land was to " reaturn to
Benj. Turney of ffairfield:" £7: 17: 6 was to go to Thomas Morehouse,
and the rest of the estate to be divided. Ruth was to be placed with
Matthew Marvin (husband of her grandmother) until she was eighteen; if
he died before that time she was "to be put to John Bowton of Norwocke,
the childs Unkle, etc."
This proves my statement above, that John2 was her uncle, and hence
her father's brother: that this is the Ruth whom Alice calls her grandchild i3
also proved by several other documents on record, of which I have copies,
and to which brief reference will be made below, but not necessary to quote
in full. That this is the Ruth who survived her grandmother is further
shown by the inventory of Matthew Marvin's estate; the "meadow-land
etc.," is mentioned on IIL, 59, of Fairfield Probate Records, which say
that July 13, 16S0, the land in Fairfield was not valued, "but remains to
be prized. This land as we understand did formerly belong to the estate
of Richard Bowton." Again, on page 60, "The land at Fairfield is found
to be in Ruth Bowton's Inventory to be (sic) Ten pounds." I have
traced it further, but it seems needless to give its history here : it is con-
stantly recognized as belonging to Alice's grandchild.
From the foregoing documents I thiuk these points are fully established,
viz :
I. That the second wife of Matthew1 Marvin was not a Widow Alice
Kellosg, but the widow of John1 Bowton, who has hitherto escaped the
knowledge of genealogists entirely.
II. That by her first marriage to John1 Bowton, she was the mother of
the Richard* Bowton who married Ruth Turney and died in 1665; of
Bridget Bowton, who married Daniel Kellogg; aud of John3 Bowton who
married Abigail Marvin.
III. That her first husband's name was John Bowton appears not only
from the Agreement cited concerning the infant Ruth, but from the Nor-
walk Records cited by Hall, p. 187, which say Bridget Bowton, wife of
Daniel Kellogg, was daughter of John. This latter statement is what has
-.■'■■
1897.] Matthew Marvin and his Second Wife. 333
misled previous writers into believing that John who married Abigail had
been previously married, and that Bridget was his daughter (instead of
being his sister) by that earlier marriage.
IV. That by her second marriage to Matthew Marvin, Alice became
the mother of his youngest child, Rachel, who married Samuel Smith, bap-
tized Sunday, Dec. 30, 16-40, at Hartford, and probably of Samuel, baptized
Sunday, February 6, 1648, at Hartford, who is supposed to have died
young, no further reference to him having been discovered. I mention
here that between this Samuel and Abigail who was born about 1636, we
should place Rebecca, who married John Clarke, of Farmington, and had
John, Matthew, Elizabeth, Rebecca, and probably others; Mr. W. S. Porter
also mentions a " Lidia," but I have been unable to learn on what author-
ity. These dates may however help us to approximate the date of the mar-
riage of Matthew and Alice.
If the first John Bowton was the one who sailed for Virginia in the
"Assurance" (see Hotten, p. Ill, and Savage, etc.), and the first hus-
band of Alice Marvin (and no evidence whatever has been adduced that I
can discover, to show that such was the case), he must have died before
1647, and left nothing by which to identify him as such. It is clear, how-
ever, that the John of the " Assurance" is not the John who married Abigail
Marvin. On the title-page of the " Bouton-Boughton Family" the claim
is made that that John was " a native of France, who embarked from
Gravesend, England, and landed at Boston in December, 1635, and settled
at Norwalk, Conn." He seems from Hotten to have sailed July 25, 1635,
aged 20, and therefore, if the theory of the compiler of that book were true,
was five months on the ocean, and was a widower of over 40 when he mar-
ried Abigail Marvin, a girl of about 18 ! What authority that compiler has
for his further statements, that " the Government of England were offering
to send emigrants to America, on condition that they would swear allegiance
to the crown of England," I know not; it has been generally believed that
instead of offering to send them, they did their best to prevent many from
coming. I think the liberal offer here announced will be news to most of
your readers. The author continues: "A registry of such emigrants was
kept at London, a copy of which has been examined by the compiler of
this work [The B.-B. Family], and as only one person by the Bouton name
is found on that registry, embracing a period of one hundred years from
1600 to 1700, it is supposed that said person [the John who sailed from
Gravesend] is the John Bouton of whom this account is traced." That is,
the John who married, as he believes, Abigail Marvin, is the same as the
emigrant, for he knew nothing about the John who was Alice's first husband.
The " copy examined " was probably Hotten, which as every genealogist
knows, is very incomplete.
But I have neither time nor inclination, nor have you the space to waste
in pointing out the numerous errors in the "Bouton-Boughton Family"
concerning the person there given as the first of the name. I content
myself with showing that the attribution of the children Bridget and Richard
to the husband of Abigail Marvin, by an earlier marriage with one " Joan
Turney," not mentioned elsewhere so far as I have been able to discover,
and said to have died in Norwalk (B.-B. Fam., p. 7), is proved false by
the documents cited above: that his statement that Abigail died at Norwalk
about 1672, is shown to be au error by the will of Alice: and that his
further statement that John " married as his third wife at Norwalk, about
1673, Mrs. Mary, widow of Jonathan Stevenson, who was killed in the
,
ak
334 Albany and New York Families. [July,
Swamp-fight with the Indians near Norwalk," is rubbish, first, because Abigail
was living in 1680; second, the Swamp-fight was in Rhode Island, Decem-
ber, 1675; and third, because Jonathan Stevenson was alive in 1677, on
Feb. 20 of which year land was granted him for his services in that fight!
(See Hall's Norwalk.)
But the compiler has mixed up three Johns — the first, the husband of
Alice; the second, the husband of Abigail, and the third, the son of John3
and Abigail, who died in Danbury, before his father, and made a will in
1700; while the will of the second John, the copy and the original of which
I have examined at Fairfield, is dated Dec. 25, 1706, and the year is writ-
ten out in words in the instrument. But enough of this. Some of the
errors are those of carelessness in copying, by one not familiar with the
writing of the period; some are due, like one just mentioned, to ignorance;
and some to the confusion caused by the identity of names; while the state-
ment that the John who came in the "Assurance," aged 20 in 1635, was
the son of Count Nicholas Bouton, of France, said in the " History of Fair-
field County" to have been born in 1508, is as absurd as it is impossible,
if the date of the birth of Nicholas given in the " History" be correct. It
is at least equally probable that he was a relative of John Bowghton, of
Colchester, Essex, who was summoned before the Yicar-General. March 2,
1527. (See Annals of Non-Conformity in Essex, by Rev. T. W. Davids,
London, 1863, and Strype, Ecc. Mem., I., 119.) Finally, for amusement,
in this dreary waste of blunders, let the reader familiar with French her-
aldic terms peruse the farrago concerning the Bouton arms [in the B.-B.
Family], and the explanation given of the blazon.

Translation of one of the earliest papers i?i the possession of the Douw family
of Albany.
This letter is to be delivered in New Netherland at Fort Orange to Johan
Thomssen from Witbeck.
Johan Tbomsseu : —
If it is possible we would like to hear from you again. We have
received your former letter in good time and thank you kindly for it, as
you have written us how it goes with you. Now I am telling you again
what you know already, to wit — that in 1651 I, Thorns Jeussen, wanted to
send my son Jans Thomssen to you with a letter, that is in the spring of
1651; but when he came to Holland the ships for New Netherland had
sailed and he gave the letter for you to somebody to forward. I -should be
glad to know that you have received it You will have learned that a great
war of the Swedish people has been going on here during the last years,
thro which we have suffered threat damages and losses of horses, cattle and
goods. After the Swedish war we had so many heavy hailstorms during
two years, just when the grain was in full blossom, that we could harvest
only a few sheaves, the hail having beaten it down so. In cousequence
everything has been very dear during the last six years, the stup (a meas-
ure of 2 quarts) of rye costing 18 to 21 marks, so that most families in our
village have become very poor, but we may thank God for having kept us
in good health.
(2) My daughter Viecke (Sophie), who is the wife of Peter Malissen,
has four children, a boy and three girls. My daughter Catryna became the
wife of Henrich Petersen, but he died last year, leaving her with three
children, a boy and two girls. My three sons are still with me and God
be praised in good health. All three are crazy to see New Netherland, God
permitting. If you will write whether it is feasible (all three being still
unmarried) they will ask that you come here if you can with your wife and
children ; but if not, that you would write so that I could send one of my
sons to you with instructions, and if it is in your power he might thus be
given a chance to see with God's help and blessing some good land and
woods, for what land is left here is constantly ruined by the frequent march-
ing and countermarching over it of the soldiers.
(3) I hope that with God's help there will be nothing to hinder aud if
you do not write again I shall pray and trust that God will keep my dear
son Johan Thomssen in His Fatherly protection. I commend you and your
344 Freeze , Spoor and Allied Families. [July,
family to His care, and hope that be will keep you — as well as us here— in
good health, so that you might surprise us by a happy return.
Witbeck, 27 February, 1653.
Thoms Jenssen,
(written by my own hand.)
My oldest son Jens would like to return with you if — with God's help
and the assistance of the Holy Spirit — you and your family could pay us a
Tisit. May the good God long keep you in his Fatherly protection. Now
you know that we are all still alive.
(The translator of the above, Berthold Fernow — formerly archivist of
the State of New York — writes : " It has taken me a day to translate one
page, for the language is neither German nor Dutch, but a mixture of both
with a liberal addition of Nether-Saxou, as spoken even to-day in Schleswig-

FAMILY RECORD OF THE FREEZE, SPOOR AND
ALLIED FAMILIES.
FROM AN OLD DUTCH BIBLE.
Contributed by Frederic H. Curtiss, Esq., of Boston, Mass.
Durixg some researches in the western part of the state, I came
across a copy of a very old Dutch Bible, which contained some
genealogical data which I think worth preserving, and enclose here-
with a copy. The Bible, which is owned by Miss Dorothy C. Rays,
of Sheffield, Mass., was brought from Holland by an ancestor
of her great-grandmother, Dorothy Freeze. It was published in
Dordrecht in 1618.
It contains the following records :
Jacob Freeze married Rebecah Van Loon, Nov. 14, 1740. She was
born Feb. 18, 1719. He died April 19, 1789. She died Feb. 14, 1799.
They had Children :
John Freeze born Sept. 13, 1741.
Rebecca Freeze born May 1G, 1745.
Jacob Freeze born Feb. 18, 1747.
Dorothy Freeze born Nov. 10, 1750.
Rachel Freeze born May 7, 1753.
* Since the foot-note on page 337 has been printed, I have received a note from Mr.
Berthold Fernow, in which he says, in relation to the name written Cathleyna Schuyler
Terhyen: — "I believe the Terhyer was a nick-name given to her father, or rather
husband, for the final s indicates that she is the daughter or wife of a man called so.
The father lived probably near where men were engaged in ramming in piles or ho
was noted for eating like a wolf.
It can hardly be the maiden name of David Schuyler's wife, for then it would pre-
cede the Schuyler as it does to-day in such cases." — G. D. m.

ELIAS STILEMAN.
By lion. Ezra S. Stearns, A.M., Secretary of State of New Hampshire.
It is not my present purpose to present a sketch of the public service
of Ellas2 Stileman, who from 1658 to 1695 was prominently identified
with the affairs of Portsmouth and of the province of New Hampshire.
There are many errors in print concerning his family. I present the gene-
alogical record of the Stile mans so far as it can be authenticated by the
early court and other records of New Hampshire.
Elias1 Stileman, the emigrant ancestor, died in Salem, Mass., in 1662.
His son, Elias2 Stileman, born in England, 1615, was a resident of Salem
several years. He removed, 1658, to Portsmouth, living in Great Island,
now Newcastle, where he died December 19, 1695. The name of his wife
was Mary, and she joins with him in the conveyance of real estate from
1662 to 1678 and intermediate dates. She was living in 1684, being then
summoned to court as a witness. She died soon after the last named date,
and he married, second, in 1689 or immediately previous, Mrs. Lucy Wills.
Her maiden name was Lucy Treworgie. She was born 1632. She mar-
ried first, Humphrey Chadbourne, who died 1667, and second, in 1669,
Thomas Wills.
-
1897.] Elias Slileman. 347
Elias2 Stilemao, by first wife Mary, had one son, Elias8 Jr., who was
baptized in Salem, March 15, 1640-1. He married April 10, 1CG7, Ruth
Mannyard, Elias3 Stileman died a short time after his marriage, leaving
a daughter Ruth, who married Richard Tarlton, often written TaiTmgton,
of New Castle. The will of P^lias*2 Stileman, which is found in the Reg-
ister, 1873, pages 266-26S, names the children of his wife Lucy by her
former marriages, and names his " granddaughter Ruth Tarlin^ton " and
her two children, Elias and "William. He also gives his granddaughter
Ruth Tarlington a gold ring which was presented him at Mr. Marty n's fu-
neral.
Richard Tarlton was drowned 1706. (Pike's Journal.) The widow Ruth
makes a will January 4, 1707-8 and names four children: Elias, who was
born August 13, 1693; William, Richard and Ruth. She bequeathes to
her son Elias the gold ring which was presented his grandfather at Mr.
Martyu's funeral.
The record of the family of Elias2 Stileman, if unlike the statements of
Savage, is fully sustained by contemporaneous records. The other children
assigned to the family of Elias2 Stileman by Savage were the children of
Richard Stileman, whose family record is briefly stated.
Richard Stileman, a cousin of PZlias2 Stileman, born in England 1611,
lived some years in Cambridge and in Salem. He removed from Salem to
Portsmouth about 1655. He was twice married. By wife Hannah he had
Samuel, born in Cambridge 1664, baptized in Salem 1650. He probably
died young. By wife Mary four children were born in Portsmouth. He
lived on Great Island where he died October 11, 1678. In the settlement
of his estate reference is made to his married daughter Elizabeth, to daugh-
ters Mary and Sarah, and to an only sou Richard. Elias2 Stileman was
administrator. The children were:
I. Mary, born January 6, 1657, married in June 1GS2 Xathaniel Fox, a mar-
iner of Boston. She was a widow 1691.
II. Elizabeth, born May 8, 1653, married 1G78 John Jordan, son of Rev.
Robert and Sarah (Winter) Jordan.
III. SAU.\n, born June 30, 16G5 ; probably deceased before 1691.
IV. Richard, born March 20, 1GG7-8. He sailed from Portsmouth bound
to the Barbados 1691, leaving a will which was probated 1703. In his will
dated 16!) 1 there is no mention of wife or children. He names his sister Mary
Fox, a widow, and the children of his sister Elizabeth Jordan. He also names
a cousin Ruth Bussell. There is a record of a marriage of William Bussell to
Ruth Stileman September 5, 16*7. Did Ruth Stileman, daughter of Elias3 and
Ruth (Mannyard) Stileman marry 1637 William Bussell and as early as 1602
marry Richard Tarlton?
Ruth Tarlton, [in her will dated January 4, 1707-8, also names her
cousins Ruth Langford of Salem and Mary Atkinson of Newcastle.
In Salem church records, March 30, 1663, is the record of the baptism
of " Damaris Mansfield, the daughter of our brother Stileman." Damaris
Stileman married, first, Timothy Larkin; and married, second, 1650, Paul
Mansfield. Ruth, a daughter of Paul and Damaris Mansfield, born 1663,
married Langford, and undoubtedly is one of the cousins named by
Ruth Tarlton. Damaris Stileman was probably a daughter of Elias.* The
wife of the third Theodore Atkinson was Mary. If she was the cousin of
Ruth Tarlton or a sister of Ruth Langford I cannot substantiate the fact.
The mention of ki Mrs. Stileman" in Journal of William Vaughan dur-
ing his imprisonment, 1634, under Cranfield, refers to Mary the widow of
Richard Stileman.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
Sherman or Yaxley and Shehman oe Dedham (ante, pp. 309-15). — It seems
probable that Henry Sherman, the Elder of Colchester, "was one of the Sher-
mans of Yaxley, Co. Suffolk. If so, it may be possible to carry this line back
one or two generations.
In Vol. 2 Second Series of the Proceedings of the Mass. Historical Society,
1885-1886, pp. 249-257. is a very interesting account of " Exploded" Coats of
Arms. One of the "Exploded'' is that of Sherman, described p. 251, as fol-
lows : " Sherman. He beareth. Argent, a Lyon Rampant, Sable, between three
Holly leaves, Proper, by the name of Sherman ; of this family are Samuel, John
and Edward (old MS. correction says Edmond), sons of Samuel Sherman of
Dedham in Essex, originally extracted from Yaxley in Suffolk; Which Edward
Sherman being of London, Merchant, hath marryed Jane Daughter of John
Wall* of Bromley by Jane daughter and Heire of Saver. "
This is from page 189 of the fourth edition of John Guillim's :i Display of
Heraldry," published in 16G0, and being made by one whose business led him to
ascertain such facts, is good authority for believing, in the absence of evidence
to the contrary, that the Dedham Shermans were " originally extracted from
Yaxley in Suffolk."
The will of Thomas Sherman of Yaxley, Co. Suffolk, which is dated January
20, 1550, proved November 16, 1551, mentions nine sons, amoug them a son
Henry and a son William.
In the will of this son William, dated May 28, 1583, proved August 9th, 1583,
he styles himself citizen and grocer of London, now inhabiting at Ipswich, Co.
Suffolk, and he mentions a brother Henry.
It is hoped that further investigation now being made in England may result
in proving or disproving the theory that Henry Sherman of Colchester is iden-
tical with the Henry mentioned in the wills of Thomas and of his son William.
Thomas Sherman of Yaxley, will proved 1551, begins the Sherman Pedigree
in the Visitation of Leicester 1G19 (Harleian Society Pub.), which gives three
or four generations of the descendants of his son William.
This Coat of Arms granted by Cromwell — a rare, aud to those of Puritan de-
scent a very houorable heritage— is probably that seen on the tomb of Edmund
Sherman, in the churchyard of St. Mary's, Dedham. The tomb in October,
1890, was in ruins, the sides had fallen in, aud the slab on which are the Arms
and inscription, rests on the ground.
The Vicar of St. Mary's shows an amusing letter from General Sherman, to
whom he had applied for money to restore it, in which the General declines.
The Coat of Arms thereon is similar to the Arms of the Yaxley Shermans,
which are : Or, a lion rampant, sable, between three oak leaves, vert. The in-
scription is as follows : —
Here resteth the body of Mary
the wife of Edmund Sherman
of Dedham who departed this life
January 27th in the C2tld year of her age

The Trott Family. — All New Englanders are not of Puritau extraction;
and as some descendants of the house of Trott may be living I endorse this
letter from the Vicar of Aldeby. In 1642 the town of Lowestoft declared for
the King, and blocked itself up "except," says John Cory or Norwich, li where
they had placed their ordnance, which were three pieces ; before which a chain
was drawn to keep on" the horse. " But even this barrier was in vain, and
among those taken a few days after the tight was " Mr. Trott of Beceles."
He died May 29th, 1658, and is buried in Aldeby Church, but as may be seen
from Mr. Hibbard*s letter there is no entry of the burial in the register.

Dear Dr. Raven :
I have been looking in our old Registers for any members of the
family of the Trott the hero of Lowestoft. There is no record at all of them
as far as I can rind. The Registers in the past centuries have been very ill kept,
as much as ten years at a time being omitted and that frequently. Even
the year in which Trott was slain there is no entry of his funeral.
Sincerely yours, F. C. Hibbard.
Jobdaine and Haine. — In the extracts from the registers of Exeter churches
made by the late Robert Dymond, F.S.A., whose widow has kindly given me
access to his notes. I find several entries relating to the Jordaine and Haine
families. If read in connection with the wills given by Mr. H. F. Waters in the
Register (Vol. xlix.. p. 493 et seq. and Vol. 1., p. 398), they will be of value.

The Family of Field. — In carrying out the work of arranging and repair-
ins: the papers and documents of the town of Providence, the Record Commis-
sioners had occasion to remove a great number of ancient manuscripts from scrap
books in which thev had been carelessly pasted for many years. Some of these,
it was found, had writing upon both sides, and when removed from the books
disclosed many interesting facts which had long been concealed. One paper
had on the upper side a schedule of ratable estate belonging to Joseph Jenckes,
while the under side pasted to the book had written upon it :
" Whereas there was by James ffield of St. Albans in Hertfordshire, who is
some time since deceased, by a bequest made of oue hundred pOnndes the
which by his last will & testament he gave & bequeathed unto his brother John
ffield, [dwelling in Provideuce in New England]* & if he were dead then ye
sayd moneyes to be derided amongst his children. And whereas ye sayd John
ffield is deceased & ye sayd legacye not yet payd Be it kuowne." * * *
It is in the handwriting of Thomas Olney, for many years the town clerk of
Providence, and was evidently the preamble to some instrument which he was
asked to draw up.
It affords a most excellent clue to the origin of the Fields of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island, as the John Field referred to was the first of that name, and
father and grandfather of Capt. John Field2 and Capt. John Field3 of Bridge-
water, Mass., respectively.
Perhaps some reader of the Register may have other information to add to
this or may use it to advantage in genealogical research. By consulting this
will at St. Albans for the names of other brothers and sisters, and then by ex-
amining the parish register, the question of the relationship between the first
John Field and his contemporary William Field might be solved.

1 Queries.
An Emerson Record and Query.—- Many years ago I found in the posses-
sion of Mr. Dickinson Cowles of Amherst, a descendant of Mary Emerson, a
Bible which had been rescued from the burning of the old homestead in Gran-
by, and was much blackened by the smoke. I persuaded him to present it to
the Library of Amherst College, where it bears the number 221-101. The title
paire of the Old Testament is gone. That of the New Testament reads : " The
New Testament, &c. Newly translated out of the Originall Greek. Londou.
Printed by the Company of Statiouers 1650." It is abundantly annotated with
cross references and curious signs, and at the head of several chapters is
*• Lctje caput totum" So that there can be no doubt that it is a bible lomr used
by a Rev. Jo. Emerson, and presented to his daughter Mary, when she went into
the Western wilderness with her husband, for on the back of the title page, in
the same writing as the notes, is written :
" Memorandum
Ruth Emerson daughter of Jo[torn] Emerson was borne on Fryday novem-
ber [torn] 10 1699 about one of ye clock on ye afternoon and was baptized the
Sabbath following by Mr. Noyes."
And later, in different ink, in the same hand but more carelessly written :
"Mary Emerson daughter of ye said J & M Emerson was born on Wednes-
day ye 2G of July 1704 about 4 of ye clock in ye morning and was baptized by
Mr Fitch ye next Lords day."
On the next page is :

The Jo Emerson mentioned above was possibly one of the sons of Michael
of Haverhill whose sou John was born in 1661.
The record seems to fit exactly the family of Rev. John Emerson of Salem,
but his wife, Sarah Emerson, survived him. The record is assigned to the line
of Michael Emerson of Haverhill, because it has not been found possible to
connect it with any other Joseph, John or Jonathan, in that generatiou. All
the names quoted above are common among the descendants of Michael Emer-
son. I have no knowledge that any one of them was a minister. b. k. e.
Governor John Webster. — In the April, 1896, number of the Register it is
conjectured that Agnes, the 2d wife of George Stocking, was "Agnes (Shats-
well) Webster, widow of Gov. John Webster, who died in 1661.'' I have long
sought evideuce, direct or suggestive, that would establish the origin of the
governor's wife, and should much like to know if there is the least shred to sub-
stantiate the statement that she was a Shatswell. Johu Webster of Ipswich,
not for an instant to be confounded with the governor, married a sister of John
Shatswell, and it may be that in some unaccountable way this fact has been
twisted to furnish the descendants of the governor with an ancestor. John
Webster of Ipswich could not have been the governor's father, and I do not
know that there is even a respectable tradition cf any connection whatever
betweeu the two men.
It would be a great satisfaction to kuow more thau we do of the governor's
origin. A few years ago I saw a family chart, the accuracy of which was not
vouched for, setting forth that the governor was a great grandson of Jotin (t.
Henry VIII.) of Cambridgeshire, Essex aud Huntingdonshire, who in turn was
great grandson of John (t. Henry VI.) of Bolsover, himself "descended from
the Websters of Lockington " (t. Edward III.). The Noah Webster Genealogy,
reprinted by Ford, says that the governor came from Warwickshire, but this,
as well as the line indicated on the chart, so far as I can discover, rests upon
very vague family tradition, and one is tempted to sympathize with Dr. Savage
in his opinion that the eminent grammarian's " studies had been too long turned
in another direction to justify unlimited confidence in all parts of his relation."

Trott. — Thomas Trott came with Rev. Mr. Mather and settled in Dorches-
ter about 10o5: married Sarah, daughter of George and Edith Proctor; and
died, according to Dorchester town records, July 28, 1696, aged 88 : but the
date on his irravestonc in old Dorchester Cemetery is Augustus 28, 1696. Which
is right? Both dates have been quoted; see Register, IV.. 169: XLIII.. SO;
V., 466. The question is answered by the fact that according to Suffolk Pro-
bate records, Vol. XL, 205, his inventory was taken August 28, and as it is not
likely that they took it on the same day that he died, the correct date of his
death must be July 28. John E. Alden.

Return to New England of the Manuscript of Gov. Bradford's His-
tory of New Plymouth. — The original manuscript of the History of New
Plymouth, by Gov. "William Bradford, which for a long time was supposed to
be lost, but for nearly half a century has been known to be in the library of the
bishop of London, at Fulham Palace,* has at length been restored to New Eng-
land. Two Englishmen advocated the return of the manuscript, namely : Rev.
John Waddington in 1858. and Benjamin Scott in 1881. Fruitless attempts were
made to have the manuscript restored, by Hon. Robert C. Wiuthrop in 1S60,
and by Hon. John Lothrop Motley at the suggestion of Dr. Justin Winsor,
in 18G9.f
Iu 1896 Hon. George F. Hoar visited Englaud; he saw the manuscript and
urged upon the Rt. Rev. Frederick Temple, theu bishop of London, but since
advauced to the archbishopric of Canterbury, the propriety of restoring the
volume. The bishop admitted the force of the claim and the propriety of re-
storing the volume. With his concurrence it was agreed that a proper applica-
tion should be made. After Mr. Hoar's return a formal application was signed
by committees of the American Antiquarian Society, the Massachusetts Histori-
cal Spciety. the Pilgrim Society, and the New-Englaud Society of New York,
and also by Roger Wolcott, governor of Massachusetts. This application was
forwarded through Richard Olney, U. S. Secretary of State, to Mr. Bayard.
It was agreed between the bishop and the ambassador that Mr. Bayard should
formally institute lecral proceedings before the consistorial court in the form
of a petition. The decree was made in due form and was signed on April 20,
1807, and on the 26th the bishop of Loudon, Rt. Rev. Mandell Creighton. who.
had succeeded Rev. Dr. Temple when the latter became archbishop of Canter-
bury, delivered the book iuto the hands of Mr. Bayard.
On the 2Gth of May the book was formally presented to the governor of
Massachusetts in the presence of a large assembly of distinguished people.
Addresses were made by Senator Hoar, Mr. Bayard and Roger Wolcott, gover-
nor of the state. A full account of the proceedings is to be printed by the state.
The archbishop of Canterbury and the bishop of London were as anxious to
restore the book as our countrymen were to receive it, and the transfer was
cheerfully made. The book will be held as an evidence of the friendship and
good will of the mother country. It is said that Queen Victoria was consulted,
and expressed her approval of the transfer.

George Potter Barrett, of Portland, Me., a life member, elected Nov.
5, 1884, died at Portland, June 3. 1896. He was a son of Charles Edwards and
Elizabeth Mary (Baker) Barrett, and was born in Portland, March 24-, 1837.
He prepared for college at the Portland High School and the old Portland
Academy and in 1858 entered Brown University, where he remained three
years, but left before graduating". He entered the service of the Grand Trunk
Railway Company, in the treasurer's office, in 1S57, and from thence went to
the First National Bank of Portland, of which he became paying teller. In
18G7, with the late Francis K. Swan, he established the firm of Swan & Bar-
rett, baukers and bond dealers. His health failing, he withdrew from the firm
in 1S78. He Mas a man of fine business capacity and unquestioned integrity,
disliked publicity, was charitable and generous. He took a deep interest in
local and family history, in which he was careful and accurate. He was an
authority on the families and buildings of Portland. He was a member of the
Maine Historical Society. A sister survives him. j. ir. d.
Hon. William Ecstis Russell, LL.D., of Cambridge, Mass., a life member
elected Dec. 2, 1891, died at St. Adelaide de Pabos. Province of Quebec, Can-
ada, July 14, 1896, a<red 30. He was the ninth child and fourth and youngest
son of Hon. Charles Theodore and Sarah Elizabeth (Ballister) Russell, and was
born at Cambridge, Jan. 6, 1857. He was educated in his native city and was
prepared for Harvard College at Cambridge High School. He entered the uni-
versity in 1873 and was graduated in 1877. In the autumn of 1877 he entered
the Law School of Boston University, from which he was graduated in 1879.
In 1891 he received from Williams College the honorary degree of LL.D.
In 1880 he was admitted to the Suffolk bar, and became a member of the firm
of Russell & Russell, then composed of his father (Charles Theodore), his
uncle (Thomas H.), and his brother (Charles Theodore, Jr.}. He was four
times elected mayor of his native city (188t-1887), and at two of the elections
there was no candidate nominated against him. During these years he man-
aged the affairs of the city with great prudence and ability.
In 1890 he was elected governor of Massachusetts as a "democrat, the rest of
the successful candidates upon the state ticket being republicans. The repub-
lican legislature carried out many of the suggestions made by him while he was
governor. He was re-elected in 1891 and 1892, but declined to be a candidate
at the next election. At the close of his third term he returned to the practice
of his profession. Since 188.5 he had been save two years in high public office
and had given up active practice, so that it "was necessary that he should devote
himself to providing for his family. To this task he gave all his energies.

Littleton and later in Princeton, where the father of the subject of this sketch

at the chateau of Laufenburg, on the Rhine, in the Duchy of Baden, Germany,
August 12, 1890, aged 03. He was a son of Henry and Catherine Willard
(Amory) Cod man, and was born in Roxbury, July 14, 1833. His grandfather
was Stephen Codman. Henry Codman, his father, was a well known lawyer of
Boston, who had a country seat at Roxbury, and who for the time wTas a man
of wealth and position. Arthur, instead of taking a collegiate course, entered
366 Necrology of Historic Genealogical Society. [July,
the house of William Ropes & Co., who were then in the Russian trade. Here
he received his earliest training. Later for a time he was in the East India
house of William C. Codman. His health Mas never good, and having suffi-
cient means he retired from business more than twenty-live years ago.
He married in Philadelphia, June 5. 1SG1, Mary Elizabeth Belknap, of New
York city, and went abroad, residing for many years in Switzerland and Ger-
many, lie made occasional visits to this country, and at one time resided for
a considerable period on a farm he had purchased near Bristol, R. I. He had
two children, both of whom died early. His widow still resides in Germany. So
beloved had he become by the common people during his residence there, that
at his funeral all work and business were suspended, and his remains were fol-
lowed by a long procession of the peasantry.
Mr. Codman was essentially a modest man, and there were few even in his
native city who knew him well. His health and naturally retiring disposition
kept him from social and public life. His name was originally Arthur Cod-
man, but after the death of his brother, John Amory Codman, lie adopted his
middle name.
Although living abroad for so many years, he never forgot the city of his
birth, for which he always retained a strong affection. In a series of letters
signed " Blaxton," and contributed for years to the Boston Evening Transcript,
he set forth his plans for an ideal Boston, some of which if carried out would
add largely to the beauty of the city. He was a man of strong charitable im-
pulses, and did much with the meaus he was so fortunate as to possess, c. e. ii.
Gardner Asapii Churchill. Esq., of Dorchester, Mass., a resident member,

the time in a ship engaged in the East India trade. From his experience and
his study of navigation, he was titted to fill a position of trust; and when dur-
ing the late war he enli.-ted in the United States navy, he was appointed, by the

by his coolness and prompt action, saved the Memphis from destruction by a
rebel torpedo-ram. in the North Edisto River, March 0, 1804.
After the war Mr. Churchill engaged in the business of printing with the firm
of Rockwell & Rollins, and on the death of Mr. Rollins in 1869 he became the
junior partner of the firm of Rockwell <£ Churchill, in which progressive and
prosperous house he remained till his death. He was a man of excellent taste
in all matters connected with his business, and of quick perception and pro-
found judgment in all affairs in which he took an interest. He served with
credit for two terms (1875-70) in the Massachusetts house of representatives.
He was deeply interested in the genealogy of the Churchill family, and in 1887
compiled and printed a work of 18 pages on it, and he leaves in MS. a larger
work in almost complete form for publication.
He was a member of the Massachusetts Society of Colonial Wars, the Sons
of the Revolution and the Grand Army of the Republic, and numerous other
societies. He married, April 10, 1802, Ellen Brastow Bassett of Wrentham,

elected Sept. 1, 1847, died at Salem. Oct. 5, 1896, aged 74. He was a son of
Nathaniel Leverett and Hannah (Wait) Rogers, and was born at Salem, Feb.
20, 1822, both parents being members of highly respectable families in that city.
He was educated at private and public schools in Salem, and was prepared for
Harvard College in the Latin Grammar School then under the chanre of Oliver
Carlton. He entered college in 1839, and pursued his studies about a year,
when his health began to fail, and he decided to leave college. In July, 1841,
he entered the counting-room of his father, who was then doing a large com-
mercial business as the head of the firm of X. L. Rogers & Brothers. He soon
after sailed in the ship Grotius for Australia (then New Holland), New Zealand
and around the world. A voyage of about seventeen mouths corrected his predi-
lections for the sea, and he sailed no more. He next entered the law office of
Hon. Nathaniel J. Lord and subsequently was a student in the Law School at
Cambridge, where he passed two terms. He was admitted to the Essex bar
and practised in Salem several years. He had little taste for public life, though
he served for awhile in the city council and on the school committee. His
health -failing he was obliged to abandon his profes-ion. In later years he was
practically a recluse. He bad. however, an active mind, and gave great atten-
tion to historical and genealogical matters to relieve the tedium of his confine-
ment. He became recognized as an authority on these subjects aud made
copious notes and writings, some of which have been published in magazines and
new-papers. He published in the Register for January and April. 1851, " A
Genealogical Memoir of the Family of Rev. Nathaniel Rogers," which was re-
printed in a pamphlet of 48 pages. The genealogy was continued in the Reg-
ister, Vol. 5, page 311. Vol. 12, page 337, and Vol.13, page 01 ; but the articles
were not reprinted. Mr. Rogers was of a social disposition, and well fitted to
enjoy the intei course of his friends had his health permitted it. G. l. s.
George Oliver Carpenter, Esq., of Boston, Mass., a resident member,
elected March 2, 1892, died at Boston, Dec. 25, 189G, aged 09. He was a sou of
George and Mary Bentley (Oliver) Carpenter, and was born at Boston, Dec.
26, 1*27. He entered the Eliot school on North Beunet street, Boston, from
which he graduated in 1840, and was one of six who received the Franklin
medal. He next entered the English High School.
His business career dates from June 5, 1841, when he entered the house of J.
N. Barbour, commission merchant. A few years later he became a partner in
the firm of Banker, Crocker £ Co., dealers in paints and oils. In 1851 this

house was succeeded by Banker & Carpenter, and so continued until 1864, when
it became Carpenter, Woodward & Morton. In 1893 the house was incorporated
under the name of the Carpenter-Morton Company, of which Mr. Carpenter be-
came the president. For some years Mr. Carpeuter became interested in the in-
surance business, and with his son conducted a large insurance business. In
1868 he held the office of commander of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company, and he held the same office in the " Old Guard of Massachusetts."
Since 1860, in connection with his business, he made several trips abroad and
travelled extensively.
He married, Feb. 6, 1856, Miss Maria Josephine Emerson, of South Read-
ing. Two sons were born to them. One of them. Col. George 0. Carpenter,
Jr., is connected with a St. Louis business house; the other, Frederick B. Car-
penter, was a partner with his father in the insurance business in Boston.

John Hoffman Collamore, Esq., of Boston, Mass., a resident member,
elected February 7, 1894, died at Boston, November 3, 1896, aged SO. He was
the son of Gilman and Maria Eliza (Hoffman) Collamore, and was born at
Boston, November 21, 1816. His father was an importer and dealer in china
and crockery.
Mr. Collamore was educated at the old Salem Street Academy and in the
Channcy-Halt School. In youth he was exceedingly fond of travel, and had a
special love for the sea. He made one voyage as a common sailor. He crossed
to Europe in the sloop-of-war " Jamestown" and remained there nearly twenty
years, tramping over the continent and canoeinsr up the great rivers, such as
the Seine and the Rhine. He accompanied the French army during the Franco-
Anstro-Italian war, and witnessed the battles of Solferino and Magenta.
Returning from Europe, he travelled through the United States, Mexico, the
West Indies. South America and the Hawaiian Islands, always walking when
it was possible to do so. At length he returned to Boston, making himself a
home on Columbus Avenue. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, to
which he was a liberal benefactor. He was also a member of the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company, and a trustee of the Mount Hope Cemetery.

was a son of Chester and Harriet (Fiske) Guild, and was born in Roxbury,
June 11, 1825. He received his education at the schools in Roxbury and at
Chauncy-Hall School, Boston. From the age of 15 to 21 he was in Woburn,

his brother, Chester. He married, Nov. 21, 184S, Margaret Jane Fox, daughter
of William and Abigail (Eaton) Fox, who survives him, with one son, Charles
Arthur Guild, of Newton Highlands.
He resided at Somerville many years and served the town in various public
capacities: as member of the board of selectmen, of the school committee,
president of the board of trustees of the public library. He was three times
elected a representative to the State Legislature. He also served on the parish
committee of the Franklin Street Congregational Church. In all public, re-
ligious and educational enterprises he was a zealous worker and a liberal giver.
In 1888 he removed to Newton Highlands. Here he came to be universally
respected and beloved, for his quiet and ready sympathy with all that promotes
the be>t interests of the community, for his genial qualities, and for his uni-
formly kind and gentlemanly bearing. In these last years he was a generous
supporter of the church and a warm friend of the public schools.
►- He retired from business in 1S76. He devoted much of his time to the col-
lection of rare books, principally Americana, of which he had a large and well-
selected library, and with the contents of which he was familiar. c. e. h.

his profession in the district schools of Randolph, Milton and Braiutree. Hav-
ing a decided taste for mathematics, he was selected as the head of that de-
partment in Chauucy-Hall School, then in charge of Gideon F. Thayer and
Thomas Gushing. After two years he returned to the ranks of public schools,
being one year in Chelsea, six in Watertown and fifteen in Somerville. He be-
gan, in 1864, seventeen years of service in the Prescott School, Charlestown,
remaining principal after the annexation of that city to Boston. At the age of
68, having taught school 41 years and acquired a fair competency, he retired to
private life, spending most of his winters in Florida and his summers at Win-
chester, until a year and a half before his death when he removed to Lexington.
He married Anna Thorpe, daughter of Eiiphalet and Ruth (Fenno) Thorpe
of Athol, Mass., who survives him. Their only surviving child, George Sher-
man Littlefield, was born in Watertown, April 27, 1851, is a resident of Win-

Benjamin Apthorp Gould, Ph.D., LL.D.. of Cambridge, Mass., a life
member, elected Sept. 2, 1885, died at Cambridge, Nov. 26, 1&96, aged 72. He
was a son of Benjamin Apthorp Gould the noted educator, and was born at
Boston, Sept. 27, 1824. He entered the Boston Latin School in 1836, and was
graduated from Harvard College in 1844. After teachiug a year in the Latin
School, he decided to devote himself to a scientific career. He went to Europe
In July, 1845, to study astronomy, working a year each at the observatories of
Berlin and Gottingen and shorter periods at Altona, Gotha, Greenwich and
Paris. He returned home in 1848. In 1852 he was appointed tD take charge of
the longitude determinations of the U. S. Coast Survey. He organized, devel-
oped and extended this service, retiring in 1867. Meanwhile in 1~855 he became
director of the Dudley Observatory at Albany, N. Y., equipped and organized
the institution and carried it on without remuneration, and at his private ex-
pense, until lb59. In that year he published his discussion of the places and
proper motions of the circumpolar stars. These he revised in 1861. Iu 1866
he planned and executed the work of establishing by the Atlantic cable, the re-
lation in longitude between European and American stations.
In 1865 he became impressed with a desire to explore the southern celestial
hemisphere. The project assumed at first the form of a private astronomical
expedition, for which Dr. Gould's friends in Boston had promised the pecuniary
means; but under the enthusiastic support of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, at
first as Argentine minister to this country, and later as president of that repub-
lic, it rapidly broadened and finally led to the establishment by Dr. Gould of a
permanent National Observatory at Cordoba. This marks an era in modern as-
tronomy.
Dr. Gould had an enthusiasm for the advancement of his beloved science far
wider than the limits of what he could by personal investigation accomplish.
In November, 1S49, he established the "Astronomical Journal," offering it to
the use of astronomers for the publication of exclusively original investiga-
tions.
He received the degree of Ph.D. from Gottingen in 1848, and that of LL.D.
from Harvard in 1885 and from Columbia in 1887. He was a fellow of the
Royal Society of London, and of numerous other scientific societies. Indeed
he was the recipient of the highest honors that Europe has to bestow to an ex-
tent scarcely vouchsafed to any other American.
True to his blood Doctor Gould took special interest in genealogy, as a
side study, and in 1872 published " The Family of Zaccheus Gould of Tops-
field," an 8vo of 109 pages. In 1895, the year before his death, he published a
revised edition of 351 pages, much enlarged and improved. In January, ls92,
he was chosen a vice-president of the Historic Genealogical Society. In 1861,
he married Miss Mary Apthorp Quincy, daughter of Hon. Josiah Quiucy, Jr.
She died in 1«S3. His children were: 1, Susan M. Q.; 2, Lucretia G. ; 3, Alice
B. ; 4, Benjamin Apthorp; 5, Mary Quiucy. s. c. c.

Jesse and Mrs. Eliza S. (Tillie) Pierce, and was born in Stoughton. Mass., Au-
gust 23, 1S25. He received his education at the public schools of his native
town, at the academy in Milton, and at the State Normal School in Briugewater.

In 1850 he became connected with the chocolate manufactory of Walter Baker
& Co. Four years later he took charge of the entire business, and from that
time to his death was the sole manager. He was a representative to the Gen-
eral Court from Dorchester in 1860, 1861, 1862 and 1S66. In 1872 he was elected
mayor of Boston, and a few months later was elected to Congress from the
third Massachusetts district. In 1878 he served a second term as mayor of
Bostou. Later he declined nomination for office and devoted himself chiefly
to business. He acquired a large property, which he used in a most generous
manner. By his will, after liberal bequests to his relatives and friends, he left
a large amount to public institutions. Mr. Pierce was never married. He

Horatio Hale, A.M., F.R.S.C. of Clinton, Canada, a corresponding member,
elected April 5, 1S82. died at Clinton, Dec. 28, 1896, aged 79. He was the sec-
ond son of David and Sarah Josepha (Buell) Hale, and was born at Newport,
N. H., May 3. 1817. His mother was the well known editor of the *; Ladies'
Magazine"' of Boston, and subsequently of "The Lady's Book" of Philadel-
phia, and was prominent in philanthropic and literary circles. She was the author
or editor of a large number of works.
Mr. Hale's father died at Newport, Sept. 25, 1822, and his mother with her
family removed soon after to Boston, Mass. Here Horatio prepared for col-
lege at the Chauncy-Hall school. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1837.
In his freshman year some Indians of the Penobscot tribe came to Cambridge
and eucamped near the college grounds. Hale, who had developed philological
tastes, went among the Indians and made out a vocabulary of their language.
Having some knowledge of printing he put this in type, with some introductory
remarks, and printed a pamphlet for distribution. This pamphlet led, soon af-
ter his graduation, to his appointment as a member of the scientific corps of
the United States exploring expedition in the South Seas (1838 to 1842), under
Captain (afterwards Admiral) Charles Wilkes. The quarto volume on ''Eth-
nography and Philology," forming the seventh volume of the series relating to
the expedition, was prepared by Mr. Hale and published in 1846.
Soon after the return of the expedition he was admitted to the bar in Chi-
cago. Sou e property in Canada which had descended to his wife requiring his
attention, led to his removal to Clinton, Canada, for what he expected to be a
brief sojourn. But he became interested iu the traditions and languages of the
Huron-Iroquois Indians in Canada, and finally he spent the remainder of his life
there. He published numerous memoirs on anthropology and ethnology, was a
member of many learned societies in Europe and America, and in 1S86 was
vice-president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science,
presiding over the section of anthropology. Besides the works already named,
he published «• Indian Migrations as Evidenced by Language." Chicago, 1883;
" The Iroquois Book of Kites," Philadelphia, 1883.
Mr. Hale married at Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 21, 1854, Margaret Pugh, daugh-
ter of William P.ngh, Esq,, of Clinton, Canada, who survives him. They had
five children. (See Hale Genealogy, Albany, 1889, page 306). Three of them
are still living: Elorence, wife of Richard Rausford; William Buell, electri-
cian in Chicago; and Charles Bernard. G. M. a.
Hon. John Mkkkditii Read, A.M., F.S.A., F.R.G.S.,of Paris, France, a cor-

He was the. son of Hon. John Meredith Read of Philadelphia, Pa., and was
born in that city Feb..21, 1837. He was a great grandson of George Read, one
of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was educated at a mil-
itary school and was a graduate of Brown University in the class of 1S58. He
completed his studio at the Albany Law School, and was admitted to the bar
in Philadelphia in I85y. He studied international law in Europe and subse-
quently removed to Albany, N. Y. He was adjutant general of the State of
New York from I860 to 1866, and did eminent service during the war. From
1869 to 1873 he was consul general to France and Algiers, and during the Franco-
German war was consul general to Germany. In November, 1873, he was ap-
pointed Minister Resident to Greece, and held the office till 1879. He was very
efficient in protecting the persons and interests of Americans in the dangerous
political crisis of 1878. In 1«81 after his resignation King George created
him a Knight Grand Cross of the order of the Redeemer, the highe-t dignity
in the gift of the government.

He was an honorary member of the military order of the Loyal Legion and
was honored by membership in many literary and scientific societies of Europe

lished, in 1SG0, " The Relation of the Soil to Plants and Animals.'' and in 1866
"An Historical Inquiry concerning Hendrich Hudson" (see Register, Vol. 20,

Suffolk Deeds. Liber YIII. Boston : Rockwell and Churchill, City Printers.
1896. Svo. pp. 662.
Excellent notices of the first volume of the Suffolk Deeds, by John Ward
Dean, A.M., and the Hon. Charles Levi Woodbury, appeared in the January and
July numbers respectively of the Register for 1881. The writer of the first
notice, Mr. Dean, the editor of the Register, needs no introduction to its
readers. The second notice is by Judge Woodbury, eminent as a lawyer, who
also holds a high rank as an historical scholar. His opinion as to the value of
such a publication is entitled to great weight.
These volumes have been published (on petition of several of the members of
the Suffolk Bar and others) by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Boston,
actiug as County Commissioners. But (as Mr. Dean has said) to John T. Has-
sam, Esq. " the public are more indebted than to any other person for bringing
this matter to the attention of the members of the bar and the board of alder-
men." William B. Trask, Esq., has rendered very valuable assistance in pre-
paring the earlier volumes of this series for publication. Mr. Thomas F.
Temple says, in his preface to this volume, that it has beeD printed from the
copy made by Frank E. Bradish, Esq. The board of aldermen has acted wisely
in thus preserving and rendering easily accessible the vast amount of historical
material contained in these volumes for the use of our own historians and those
of future times. For what can be more important, as a means of ineutal develop-
ment even, than the cultivation of a love for history? And we may go on by
degrees to see not only the great intellectual value of this noble branch of
learning, but (and far more than this) the deep, momentous spiritual signifi-
cance underlying it all inwrought through and through in these (at first sight)
often confused and confusing records which unroll themselves to our view.
The study of history is nothing less than the study of man; man in his com-
plex nature, yet ever with an element of good in him ; man in his fallen nature,
yet ever capable (if he will seek Divine grace; of struggling toward perfection.
What secular study can be more important than this, more richly fraught with
usefulness to ourselves and to our fellow men? History, that wondrously
fascinating life-story of man, is a subject far too large and comprehensive to
be ever reduced to the narrow limits of a science. For to pass an accurate
estimate upon human nature as there recorded we should take into considera-
tion not only what man has accomplished in the material and intellectual life,
but also in the far higher realm of the spiritual life; and can any science of
history, so called, hope to adequately fathom the deep spiritual aspirations
of man (continual earnest of yet greater progress), these divinely implanted
faculties of the human soul? The spiritual cannot be accurately tested by the
material. Yet just as tangible as physical and mental impressions, and far more
real and lasting, are tho.->e made upon the sensitive retina of the soul. As Cariyle
has so well said: "It is the spiritual always that determines the material."
Nay more, the only enduring thing in life is the spiritual; all things else are
but passing shadows on the mirror of time. And what splendid incentives are
furnished by the study of history, not only to the intellectual life but also to
the moral and spiritual life of man. What is history but the record of the lives
of our fellow men (and how interesting, how important, nay how sacred may

be the inuer depths of every life), a record of the defeats and aspirations, of
the struggles and victories of the human soul? Let no one say that these
heart-cravings of humanity are ever unanswered. Through all these dissolving
views, often contradictory though they be, these ebb-tides and flood-tides of
human life, the wise student will ever perceive (if he makes careful and
reverent investigations) the continual influence of the Holy Spirit energizing,
vitalizing, purifying man's heart. And as we survey in the pages of history
some of the mighty throng of humanity who have passed from time to eternity,
from this life \o "the other life, countless are the lessons that we may learn,
lessons of faith, hope, love, of an ever-deepening consecration to the will of
God.

The Constitution and By-Laws of the Scots' Charitable Society of Boston (insti-

from the original records of the Society. Boston: 1S96. 12mo. pp. 218. [Third
- Edition. Price,-$1.0U] -
The first edition of this work was issued in 1867; the second, much enlarged,
in 1878. The present edition differs from the second chiefly in that it is brought
down to date. The most useful feature of the book is the roll of members,
which begins in 1057, and affords many valuable clews to the genealogist. The
occurrence of the name of Thomas Handasyde Peck in this list of Scotchmen
indicates the reason why the compiler of the Peck Genealogy " found so little
in relation to his ancestors " in Boston. In this roll of membership the occu-
pation or the former re.-ideuce of the member is often given. Interesting cases
of the former are (1684) "Adam Johnstone, chapman," and (1665) "David
Reynolds, chapman in New England" — early instances of the itinerant peddler.
Of the latter (lG'Jo) "William Ballagh, South Carolina," (1695) "Alexander
Piggan, New London," (1699) "John Smithsou, Barbadoes," (1716) "David
Gentlemen, Monross," and (1717) " Stephen Simmons of Pennsylvania, an
Englishman," serve well to illustrate the value of this roll.
A number of Scotch prisoners, taken at the battles of Dunbar and Worcester,
were sent to New England (see Suffolk Deeds, Lib. 1. fo. 5, and ante Vol. I., p.
377), and sold for a term of years. The names of some of these prisoners oc-
cur in the list of founders of this Society. The most prominent men among
the founders — Robert Porteous aud William Cosscr — were not prisoners, but
had been here several years before Cromwell's victories at Dunbar and Worces-
ter. Doubtless a careful search would bring to light many other Scotchmen
who were in New England before 1650. It~also appears that the Society was
not instituted solely to aid these unfortunates.

ton. 1697. 4to. pp. viii.-H79.
The welcome bestowed on the first volume of this work, — noticed in the
Register of April. Is96,— will surely be as cordially extended to its successor,
in which the annals of the Company are continued to 1821, the date of the cessa-
tion of town government in Boston. The prominence of many of the members
in the Revolutionary war demanded such an extended space, that the intention
to comprise in this volume the entire second century of the Company's chroni-
cles necessarily remains unfulfilled.
The brief residence in Boston of some of the members has rendered it im-
possible to obtain the copious facts so desirable in the construction of biography.
The contribution of material from any quarter respecting those the details of
whose career, for this or any reason, are inaccessible to ordinary research,
would be of signal assistance in the compilation of the remaining volumes.
The unabridged records of the Company are copied as far as 1S00; after-
wards only the properly historical entries are retained, unessential matter being
very judiciously emitted.
There are thirty-nine illustrations, chiefly portraits, together with a fac-
simile of the proclamation of the " King of the Mohawks," regarded as the hand-
writing of Col. Ed ward Proctor, of Boston.

These volumes contain a wealth of historical material arranged in a careful
aud orderly manner by the able and learned biographer of John Dickinson, Mr.
C. J. Stille, and the able and learned editor of his political writings, Mr. P. L.
Ford. John Dickinson was born of good Quaker stock at Croskl-Dore in Tal-
bot County, Maryland, Nov. 8, 1732, and died Feb. II, 1808. As Mr. Ford has
said: "He has been aptly termed the ' Penman of the Revolution.' In the
literature of that struggle, his position is as pre-eminent as that of Washington
in war, Franklin in diplomacy, and Morris in finance." In 1765 he wrote the
"Declaration of Rights" of the Stamp Act Congress. From this time to
the period when he drafted the Articles of Confederation he wrote much upon
political subjects. It is probable that his " Letters from a Farmer" were the
most important and exercised the greatest influence of all his political writings.
They are throughout models of clear, concise and logical argument.' At that time
men studied, mastered, the best works of the best authors. They may not
have given so much time to fruitless reading, they certainly gave more time to
thought. It is a delight to read these elegaut and forceful periods, this elo-
quence of the olden time. While Mr. Stille lays stress on Dickinson's training
for the law at the Middle Temple in London, he errs (in the opinion of the
writer) in comparing rather unfavorably the English Common Law with the
Civil Law. The Common Law as it prevails in England aud the United States
(modified somewhat by statute law) is without question the most complete prac-
tical system, the best working code of laws ever- devised by a free people for
the perpetuity of freedom aud free institutions. It is the steady outgrowth,
the accumulated wisdom of generation after generation of Emrlish-speaking,
liberty-loving people. It is the great constitution of the English-speaking
race (destined perhaps under divine Providence to be that of mankind), pre-
served and handed down for centuries by parliaments, judges and juries. It
has been said (and rightly) that the Church protected the liberties of the people
of England from the aggressions of the crown aud nobles, but never was it to
them the strong defense, the impregnable bulwark, that the grand old Common
Law expounded by an able bench and bar has ever been.

374 Booh Notices. [3\Ay,
The first two of these beautiful and valuable pamphlets are duodecimos:
their successors are enlarged to small octavos, and also beautified beyond even
the measure of typographical excellence shown in the initial numbers. Hardly
less thau what would be considered extravagant praise is merited by the per-
fect form provided for these booklets, whose historic and literary character will
obtain for them an extension of the Avelcoine already accorded to them. The
City History Club of New York, in whose interest the papers are published, is
furnished by them with an additional and efficacious channel for its influence in
attracting public attention to the annals and legends of New York. The di-
versity as well as importance of the topics thus far treated, together with the
ability with which they are handled, create the anticipation of a long succes-
sion of authentic contributions to local history which will also be prized as
vivid illustrations of the beginnings and progress of the nation.

The Richmond Family., 1594-1896. and pre- American Ancestors, 1040-1594.
By Joshua Bailey Richmond, member of the New-England Historic Gene-
alogical Society: With Fac-Similes of Signatures; Commissions and other
Documents. Boston. Published by the Compiler. 1897. Imperial Svo. pp.
xviii.-f-GH. [For sale by the author at 114 State street, Boston. Price 87.50.]
Fortuuate indeed are the Richmonds of America in possessing a memorial of
such distinction, in its aspects both of ornament aud use, as the volume result-
ing from the fifteen years' labor of Mr. Richmond. Eighteen thousand of this
fine name, and of those allied to it, here secure registry in a book whose mate-
rials, some of which came into the compiler's hands in an uuusaally confused
condition, at length have been, with the indispensably immense pains of the
genealogist, reduced to order, and presented to the world in a form exhibiting
the perfection of the bookmaker's craft.
Bound in russet leather and canvas, printed on deckel-edged paper of supe-
rior texture, with type of surpassing clearness, and illustrated in a style befit-
ting the typography, this superb volume affords a gratification to the eye of
taste scarcely inferior to that which will be experienced by the present aud fu-
ture descendants of John Richmond, of England, and Taunton, Mass., in scan-
ning the records of a family whose culture, integrity, ability and patriotism
have won a commemoration that will most justly excite their pride, and the
genealogical thoroughness of which will probably enable all of his descendants
to trace their ancestry to the natal year of the emigrant from Ashton Keynes.
By Frederic Willard Parke, of Boston.
The Church Bells of Buckinghamshire. By A. H. Cocks, M.A., F.Z.S., F.R.G.S.
(London. Jarrold.) Pp. 7G0-fxxxiv.
Searchers in history and genealogy are familiar enough with sepulchral in-
scriptions, but few imagine that such objects as bells have a history of their
own, and- often transmit the uames of benefactors, officials and craftsmes.
This work makes the eighteenth county in England which has the inscriptions
on its bells recorded, and Mr. Cocks may be congratulated on having done his
work most thoroughly. The lettering aud ornamentation on the bells, which
are frequently of excellent design and execution, have received full notice, and
no pains have been spared in typography and illustration. Many side-lights
are thrown on historical events, such as the capture of the French King, Fran-
cis I., at the Battle of Pavia, for which a peal of triumph was ungenerously
rung. In tracing the histories of various English foundries from which Buck-
inghamshire bells have come. Mr. Cocks gives some useful pedigrees. The
families of Rudhall, Wells, Knight, Keene, Newcombe, Atton, Chandler and
others receive full notice. The book has an interest far beyond its technical
title. Perhaps some day we shall see the history of the Bells of Massachu-
setts.* Doubtless they too have a story to unfold.

•ElbridgeH. Goss, Esq., of Melrose, Mass., has published in the Register (vol.

title of "Early Beds of Massachusetts," in which articles he includes an account of
seventeen chimes of bells, all that were in use in Massachusetts to October, 1SS5,
with the inscriptions of the several bells in each chime. — Editor.

matter, they preserve many historical documents, some in fac-simiie and some
in print, views of historic buildings and other relics of our Revolutionary war.
The zeal which the members show" in preserving the memory of their fathers is
deserving of the highest commendation.
Bibliography of American Historical Societies. (The United States and the Dominion
of Canada). By Appleton" Prentiss Clark Griffin. (From the Annual
Report of the American Historical Association for 1895, pages 677-1236.) (Re-
printed, with additions and revision, from Annual Reports for 1890 and 1892.)
Washington : Government Printing Office. 1896.
The Bibliography of the American Historical Societies published under the
auspices of the American Historical Association is a work of no small impor-
tance. Research, care and thoroughness characterize it. Only an adept could
bring this wide range of titles, names and subjects together. Henceforth the
student of American history cannot do his work without access to this ex-
haustive bibliography of studies published by the historical societies of America.
Mr. Griffin deserves much gratitude. He adds also to his reputation as a student
of authors and titles.

A handsome marble column was erected by the Society of Colonial Wars at
Louisburg to commemorate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
seige and" surrender of that fortress. On the 17th of June, 1S95, it "was un-
veiled. We have before us the report of Geonre C. Gilmore, who was appoiuted,
by the governor of New Hampshire, a commissioner to attend the celebration
and to collect the historical facts, with the names of the New Hampshire sol-
diers and sailors in the expedition, and to cause the same to be printed. Mr.
Gilmore's report is before us. It makes a haudsome book, and contains much
matter that will be particularly interesting to New Hampshire people.

1693. 1893. Edited by Lyon G. Tyler. Printed by Whittet & Shepperson.
1894. -tto. pp. 49.
The Bicentenary of the College of William and Mary was celebrated fcui*
years ago at Williamsburg, Wednesday, June 21, 1893. This volume published
in that year contains the proceedings. A poem, entitled "Alma Mater," was
read by the author, Charles Washington Coleman, of Williamsburg; an able
historical oration was delivered by J. Allen Watts. Esq., of Roanoke, Va. An
n interesting feature of Biennial Day was the presentation by Robert M.
Hewes, Esq., of Norfolk, in behalf of the State Bar Association, of a beauti-
ful brass memorial tablet, placed in the walls of the chapel, beneath the floor of
which lie the bones of several distinguished Virginians." The tablet bears an
inscription in honor of George Wythe, LL.D., member of the Continental Con-
gress. Mr. Hughes on presenting the tablet made an eloquent address. The
celebration Closed with a banquet and addresses in the evening. The book
makes an elegant volume, handsomely printed and bound, and does credit to the
occasion, and to the venerable college whose history it is intended to preserve.
It is antedated only in this country by Harvard College.

The Uxbridge Academy: A Brief History. With a Biographical Sketch of J.
Mason Macomber, A. 31., 31. D.\ Preceptor. By William A. Mowky, A.M.,
Ph.D. Bostou, Mass. : Everett Press Company. 1807. 12mo. pp. 151.
This is a well written history of Uxbridge Academy, the principal feature of
which is a biography of Joshua Mason Macomber, A.M., M.D., the preceptor,
from 1841 to 1850. The decade during which he held the office is said to have
been the palmy period of the academy. The sketch of Dr. Macomber is a high-
ly interesting account of a successful educator, whose pupils include many
prominent men. Sketches of others who held the office of preceptor or were
graduates of the institution are given. A view of the academy and portraits
of Dr. and Mrs. Macomber embellish the book.
Ye Catalog of Epitaphs from Ye Old Burying Ground on Meeting House Hill in
Methuen, 3fassachu$et'ts. Published by the Methuen Historical Society. 1897.
12mo. pp. 116.
The Methuen Historical Society does a good service in issuing the above vol-
ume of Epitaphs. The Old Buryiug Ground was laid out iu 1728, and was en-
larged in 1803. For fifty years it was the only one in the town. Through the
liberality of Mr. Edward F. Searles the condition of the ground has been much
improved within a few years. Mr. Charles W. Mann, under whose superinten-
dence this work has been doue, has furnished copies of the inscriptions which
are here printed by the Historical Society.
The society had previously issued two numbers of its regular series of pub-
lications. No. 1 contains the opening address after the organization of the so-
ciety, by the president, Hon. Joseph Sidney Howe, and an article on the Music
of Other Days in Methuen, by Miss Lizzie B. Carter. No. 2 contains an Ad-
dress, May 13, 1S96, on The Merrimack Valley, by Mr. Robert H. Tewskbury.

These patriotic societies are doing a good work in general as well as family
history. The books before us are got up in the highest style of the typographic
art. They contain the Constitutions and By-Laws of the several societies, the
rolls of membership, the records of services performed by ancestors of the
members, and other matters usually found in the Society's Year Books. The
Massachusetts book contains also au able article on the six hundredth anniver-
sary of the English Parliament, and accounts of the Expeditions against Port
Royal in 1710 and Quebec in 1711, and various historical documents, illustrated
by numerous engravings. The Iowa book gives portraits of the members of
the society. The Colorado book gives a catalogue of the society's library.
77<,e Genealogical Magazine; a Journal of Family History, Heraldry and Pedi-

10 West 28th Street. Vol. 1, May, 1897. Imp. 8vo. pp. 64. Price 1 shilling a
number.
Mr. Elliot Stock of London has begun the publication of a new magazine, the
first number of which is before us. The periodical promises to be a great aid
to those interested in family history and kindred subjects. This number con-
tains articles on (1) The Surrender of the Isle of Wight, by J. H. Round; (2)
William Bradford's History of Plymouth Plantation; (3) An Ancient Augmen-
tation; (4) The Sobieski Stuarts, by Henry Jenner, F.S.A. ; (5) Shake-
speare's Family, by Mrs. Charlotte Carmichael Stopes ; (6) A Devonshire
Manuscript, by James Dallas, F.L.S. ; (7) A List of Strangers, by Rev. A. W.
Cornelius Hallen ; (8) Nelson and his Enchantress.
The number also contains Queries and Correspondence; a Gazette of the
Month, being a Chronicle of Creations, Deaths and other Matters ; and some
items of current events, entitled " By the Way." The articles are ably writ-
ten, and we hope the work will be liberally supported.

1897.] Book Notices. 377
Town of Weston. TJie Tax Lists, 1757-1S27. Boston: Alfred Madge & Son.
1897. Svo., pp. 409.
The volume before us is the third which the Town of "Weston has published,
all of which have been edited by Miss Mary Frances Peirce, in a style that does
credit to her. In the two previous volumes, the records of the first precinct
have be<m printed to 1754, and those of the town clerk to 1826. The tax lists
which are here printed will be of great service to the genealogist. We know
of no other town that has published theirs. They must have cost much labor
to copy aud arrange them. A map of the town in 1794 is given. We hope
other towns will follow the example of Weston.
A Biographical Sketch of Rev. Samuel Kendal, D.D.,from 17S3 to 1S14. Minis-
ter of the First Church of Weston, Mass. By George A. Robinson. Boston:
George H. Ellis, Printer. 1S97. Svo. pp. 32.
In this book Mr. Robinson has preserved the biography of Rev. Dr. Kendal,
who for more than thirty years was the honored and beloved pastor of the town
of Weston. It is a well written book, tilled with interesting details. It has
evidently been compiled with great care, and pains has been taken to gather up
reminiscences of the minister of Weston aud his associates.
Tfie Bi-Centennial Celebration of the First Congregational Church and Society
of Danbury, Connecticut.. May 24-31, 1S0G. Danbury, Conn. News Book
and Job Print. 1890. Svo. pp. 101.
We have here the proceedings at the two hundredth anniversary of the First
Congregational Church at Danbury. The historv of the corporation begins
with the. granting of the charter by the legislature May 14, 1G96, but the church
reaches farther back. A good account of its early history is found in the Cen-
tury Sermon of Rev. Thomas Robbins, D.D., reprinted by Mrs. Hill in the History
of Danbury (Register, vol. 50, p. 494). The exercises on the occasion are very
creditable to those who took part in them. There were historical addresses
by t he Rev. Albert F. Pierce, the pastor, Hon. Lyman D. Brewster, Rev. Thomas
R. Noble, D.D. and others. Mrs. Susan B. Hill contributes an article on
" Memories of the Old Church," aud others furnish interesting articles on other
subjects, illustrating the history of the First Church in Danbury.
Abstracts of the Early Woburn Deeds, recorded at Middlesex County Registry,
1649-1700. By Edward F. Johnson. With some Explanatory Notes.
News Print, Woburn. 1S9G. Svo. pp. 78-f-xii. Fifty copies printed.
These abstracts first appeared in the Woburn newspaper, The News, and are
here reprinted in pamphlet form. They will be found of great service by the
conveyaucerandthe genealogical investigator. Judge Johnson, the editor, says
in his preface : x<In making the abstracts, I have endeavored to include all mat-
ter of importance to the conveyancer, and, at the same time, not to omit any-
thing of value to the genealogist. "
The Palatine or German Immigration to Xem York and Pennsylvania. By Rev.
Santord H. Cobb, of Albany, N. Y. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 1897.
This is a paper read before the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society,
and is published by the society. It is a part of a larger manuscript which the
author hopes soon to publish in book form under the title of " The Story of the
Palatines. An Episode in Colonial History."' It gives some of the more im-
portant facts in the larger work. The story of the Palatine emigration to these
shores in the early part of the last century and their remarkable experiences
are well told by Mr. Cobb.
Register of the Society of the Cincinnati of Maryland, brought doicn to February
22d, 1807. Baltimore: Published by order of the Society. 1897. Super
Royal Svo. pp. 111.
This volume contains an historical sketch of the General Society of the Cin-
cinnati; Annals of the Cincinnati of Maryland; Officers of the General Socie-
ty, May 19, 1896; officers of the Maryland Society, Feb. 22, 1897; officers of
the General Society from 1783 to 1896; officers of" the Maryland Society from
1783 to 1*97; present members of the Cincinnati of Maryland, and other sta-
tistics and historical matter. The society fosters a patriotic spirit in our com-
munity. The book shows that it is in a prosperous condition.
378 Book Notices. [July,
Soldiers of the American Revolution in Lebanon, Maine. By George Walter
Chamberlain, B.S. Weymouth, Mass. : Weymouth aud Braintree Publish-
ing Co. 1807. 8vo. pp. 4S. Price 50 cents.
The object of this pamphlet is to give "accurate military, biographical aud
genealogical information concerning ninety-five soldiers of Lebanon and their
parishes." Mr. Chamberlain has done this in a thorough manner and deserves
much praise for his work.
Men of Achievement. Inventors. By Philip G. Hubert, Jr. New York:
Charles Scribner's Sons. 1S93. 12rno. pp. 299.
This is one of the Men of Achievement series of volumes, published by Charles
Scribner's Sons. It contains accounts of Benjamin Franklin. Robert Fulton,
Eli Whitney, Samuel F. B. Morse, Charles Goodyear, John Ericsson, Cyrus H.
McCormick, Thomas A. Edison aud Alexander Graham Bell, with sketches of a
number of other American inventors. It is well written, handsomely printed
and has numerous fine illustrations. It has a table of contents.
Abstracts of Early Woburn Deeds recorded at Middlesex County Registiy. 1649
to 1700. By Edward F. Johnson. With Some Explanatory Notes. The
News Print, Woburn. 1895. Svo. pp. 78-j-xii. Fifty copies printed.
The abstracts were first printed in the Woburn newspaper. ;' The News," and
are here reprinted in a volume. They are believed, says Judge Johnson, i(to
include all Woburn deeds bearing date iu seventeenth century, and now on
record at Cambridge." The full genealogical and historical notes add much to
the value of the work. We hope that this example will be followed in other
towns.
James G. Birney and his Times. The Genesis of the Republican Party, with some
account of the Abolition Movements in the South before 1S2S. By William
Birxey, Ex-Brevet Major General, United States Volunteers. New York:
D. Appleton & Company. 1890. 12mo. xii.-r-4:43.
The biography of James Gillespie Birney, by his son Maj.-Gen. William Birney,
is a well written and instructive book. James G. Birney, a native of Kentucky,
was a prominent figure in the Anti-Slavery party, and the book furnishes us
with much information about the principal leaders in that movement, as well as
concerning Mr. Birney himself. The book is embellished with a portrait of
James G. Birney.
Proceedings of the Littleton (Mass.) Historical Society, No. 1, 1894-5. Published
by the Society. 1890. 8vo. pp. 186. $1.50, postpaid.
This volume is a very creditable one. It coutains more intelligent writing
upon matters of local interest than an average town history gives. The name,
Nasboba, brought down from Eliofs praying Indians and their predecessors, is
the subject of careful inquiry ; and a large amount of valuable information upon
Eliot, the Indian-, and colonial life is brought out. Landmarks from old deeds ;
twigs from the old elms: a history of the town lyceum; reminiscences of the
civil war; these are a few of the topics treated. But to the readers of the
Register perhaps no part of the volume will have more value than the forty-
six pages of epitaphs from the old burying ground at Littleton Common ; since
many of our Massachusetts families are represented in that ancient godsacre.
Mr. Herbert J. Harwood, chairman of the committee, has done his share of the
essay work, copied the epitaphs, and earned the thanks of all readers by careful
editing aud indexing. The book will find a place in many libraries.
By Bev. Charles Henry Pope, of Cambridge, Mass.
The Historical Collections of the Topsficld Historical Society. Vol. II. 1896.
Topsfield, Mass. Published by the Society. 1896. 8vo. pp. 19.
This second volume of the Collections of the Topsfield Historical Society is
principally devoted to the early records of Topsfield. " The first book of origi-
nal clerk's records now iu existence begins with the year 1G75," but such earlier
records which were deemed "needful" are transcribed into the " new Towne
booke." The old book seems to have been lost. The Society could not do
better than they have done in preserving the records of the town by printing
them.

Transcendentalism in Xew England; a Lecture delivered before the Society of Phil-
osophic Enquiry, Washington. D. C., May 7, 1S95. Boston : Sold by Roberta
Brothers. 1897. Svo. pp. 3S. Price, 40 cents.
Mrs. Caroline Healy Dall is the author of the Lecture here printed. No one
living that we know of is better acquainted with the history of the famous
Transcendental movement which was a prominent topic of conversation half a
century ago. She was well acquainted with the leaders in this movement, and
graphically portrays their characteristics, and records what they accomplished.
She finds in Anne Hutchinson a forerunner of the transcendentalists of the
present century. " The arc."' says she, " which we call transcendental was sub-
tended by a cord held at fir=.t by Anne Hutchinson, and lost in the Atlantic waves
with Margaret Fuller."
Somerville, Past and Present; an Illustrated Historical Souvenir, commemorative
of the Twenty Fifth Anniversary of the Establishment of the City Government
of Somervillc. Massachusetts. Edited by Edward A. Samuels and Henry H.
Kimball, A.M. Bostou: Published by Samuels and Kimball, 1897. Super
royal, Svo. pp. G71.
This elegant volume is intended to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the incorporation of Somerville as a city. The town of Somervillc was in-
corporated May 3, 1*42, and received its city charter April 14, 1871. In it is
preserved a very satisfactory history of the city, its business and its principal
citizens. The history proper of Somerville fills 142 pages; the history of the
city government fills 'do pages ; the history of the schools, police, fire depart-
ment, water supply, public library, churches, social organizations, banks and
business, fills over 100 pages ; and the rest of the volume — nearly 200 pages — is
devoted to biographies. There are numerous portraits and other fine engrav-
ings scattered through the book. The reader will find iu this volume a mass of
interesting facts concerning the past and present history of the enterprizing
town and city of Somerville. Such a memorial will last longer than brouze or
marble.
John Eliot, the Puritan Missionary to the Indians. By Ezra Hoyt Byington,
D.D., Newtou, Massachusetts. [Reprinted from Vol. VIII., American Society
of Church History.] The Knickerbocker Press. 1897. 8vo. pp. 145.
The man who, however indirectly, was the means of introducing into the
English — or, rather, the American— language the word " Mug-Wump," would
by very few be supposed the same who first asked the little Indians of Nonan-
tum the questions: " Who made you? Who redeemed you from sin and hell?
How many commandments are there?" The amazing labors of the framer of
this first Indian catechism are related by Dr. Byington in an ungarnished nar-
rative whose absorbingly interesting facts, in the lucid presentation which this
pamphlet displays, with corroboration of authorities, again remind us that,
notwithstanding the successes won by the sacred ardor of Eliot and his coad-
jutors, yet, in the end, after the Indians had tasted the unmistakable significance
of the white man's religion in it> practical relations to them, their collective
sentiment must have applauded King Philip's exclamation to the missionary,
" I care no more for your gospel than for the button on your coat."
By Frederic Willard Parke, of Boston.

We continue in this number our quarterly list of books relating to family his-
tory recently published.
The first book, the History of the Kimball Family, is a work on which an
immense amount of labor has been bestowed. Mr. Morrison, one of the com-
pilers, is the author of the Morrison Family and several other books on family
and local history. The other compiler. Mr. Sharpies, is well known as an inde-
fatigable collector of genealogical material, who is never satisfied while there
is any doubt about any particular fact. In these two volumes is recorded a
mass of facts about the several Kimball families in New England and much
about English families. The Kimballs, Mr. Morrison states, "are a most
prolific race; its branches extend in all directions, and its members have be-
come as numerous as the leaves. To trace them out and to gather in their sepa-
rate histories was like gathering in and numbering the autumnal forest leaves."
It is a wonder that he and Mr. Sharpies have accomplished their task in so sat-
isfactory a manner. The work is clearly arranged, the biographies are carefully
prepared, and the genealogical matter is full and precise. The book is one
that the Kimballs may be proud of. It is well printed and illustrated by nu-
merous portraits and other enirravinirs. The index is a remarkably fine one.
The Family Record aud Biography of Mr. McCormick is truly on elegant
book. It is well printed, illustrated with numerous tine portraits, and is well
indexed. No better memorial of a family could be devised than this. The
family trees in the volume which accompanies it are prepared with care.
The Dickinson Family is another beautiful book. It is printed on heavy
deckel-edge paper and bound in a substantial manner, with a model index giv-
ing names with locations of births and deaths. " To perpetuate the memory of
men and women who for more than two hundred and fifty years have left an
honorable record in America," the author tells us, is the object of this volume.
The book is well compiled.
The book on the Till't family is another genealogy that is an honor to the
family and to Mr. Tifft, the compiler. The materials are carefully collected
aud compiled. It makes a handsome volume, being finely bound, printed on
fine deckel-edge paper, and rubricated. It gives a record of the descendants of
John Tillt of Portsmouth, R. I., who died in 1676.
The Lee book is a second edition of a volume published in 1878, by Miss Sa-
rah Marsh Lee, who died in 1692. It is much enlarged and otherwise improved.
■
382 Booh Notices. [July,
Besides the descendants of John Lee of Farniington it contains brief notices
of other Lee families in New England. It is embellished with many portraits
and other engravings. It makes a compact volume of about GOO pages, and is
well indexed. Appended to the genealogy is a full account of the Reunion of
the Descendants of John Lee at Farmington, Ct., August 12 and 13. 189G.
The second volume of the Laue Genealogies is just issued. The first volume,
compiled by Rev. Jacob Chapman and Rev. James H. Pitts, was published in
1891, and noticed at the time in the Register. The present volume is by Rev.
Mr. Fitts. It contains the descendants of William Lane of Boston. Capt. John
Lane of York County, Me., and Capt. John Lane of Fisherstield, X. H. This
volume contains the descendants of "William Laue of Dorchester, Mass. ; Rob-
ert Lane of Stratford. Ct. ; John Lane of Milford, Ct. ; John M. Lane of Bos-
ton: Daniel Lane of New London, Ct., and George Lane of Rye, N. Y. The
book is well compiled, well indexed, handsomely priuted and illustrated with
portraits.
The volume on the Garland family is a very full account of the descendants
of Peter Garland, an early settler of Charlestown, Mass. It is carefully com-
piled, and makes a handsome book, with a good index. It is illustrated with
portraits. We learn from this volume that James A. Garland. Jr.. of Chestnut
Hill. Mass., is compiling a genealogy of the southern branch of the Garland
family.
The Quisenberry family, to which the next volume is devoted, is descended
from John Quisenberry of Westmoreland County, Va., from which the name
has spread into Kentucky, North Carolina and other states. The characteristics
of the family have been ''honesty, industry, candor and thrift.*' Besides the
Quisenberrys, there are brief genealogies of Bush, Chenault, Mullen, Cameron,
Broomiield and Finkle. The book gives an interesting account of the families
and is well printed and illustrated by portraits.
This Manning tabular pedigree, the next work on our list, is the result of
researches made by Mr. Henry F. Waters, in England, and was compiled by him
some years ago. The pedigree was lithographed at the time, for Col. Henry
Lee, who had a few impressions taken for relatives descended from the Salem
families of Higginson and Manning. Later, Mr. Walter K. Watkins had a
fac-simile lithographed of a reduced size. A copy is before us. No title is
given to it, but we have supplied one. Only a few copies were taken for some
descendants of the Hiirginsons. Mr. Waters has since compiled a fuller pedi-
gree of Manning, which appears in the present number of the Register, facing
page 3>9. In compiling the last pedigree, he has incorporated into it a large
portion, if not all. of the facts in the pedigree here noticed.
The Walworth book is by the eldest son of the late Chancellor Reuben H.
Walworth, whose Genealogy of the Hyde Family is well known. A few mem-
oranda collected by his father stimulated the compiler to further research and
the result is the very satisfactory volume before us. It gives the descendants
of William Walworth, who came to this country in 1G39 and settled on Fisher's
Island., and contains much interesting matter about the emigrant ancestor aud
the region where he settled, and a full genealogy of his descendants. It is
hand-omely printed in large type, tastefully bound, and embellished with eleven
engravings.
The volume on the Forsyth family gives a history of the family in France,
Scotland. Ireland, and this country. The generations in the New World are
quite fully traced. The book is well compiled, makes a handsome volume and
is embellished with tine engravings. Several views in Do Fronsac's Domain
in Acadia are <riveu.
The emigrant ancestor of the Rymes family here recorded is found at Ports-
mouth. N. II.. about 1690. The infrsquency of the name and the certainty that
his son who, like his father, was a master mariner, had business relations with
Barbados, and that there was much commerce between that island and Ports-
mouth, suggest to the compiler the possibility that Samuel Rymes wras a descen-
dant of Henry Rymes who in January, 1G35, was a passenger to Barbados from
London i Register, vol. 14, p. 347).
The book on the Ela family is a record of the descendants of Israel Ela of
Haverhill. Mass., who took the freeman's oath in 1G77. I', is a careful compila-
tion, well priuted aud indexed. It will be a useful book particularly to the
Elas.

The Wymau book contains the result of researches in Hertfordshire, Eng-
land, suggested by Mr. Waters's discovery of the will of Francis Wymau, father
of Francis and John Wymau, the Wobnrn immigrants (Register, vol. 43, p. 15G) .
It will particularly interest descendants. Many views of buildings and sceuery
connected with Wymans are given, and fac-similies of portions of parish reg-
isters with Wymau entries. The author is of the ninth generation from John
"Wyruan of Woburn, born 1621.
Mr. Alfred A. Thomas, the author of the next pamphlet, addressed " To my
boy, Thomas Head Thomas," gives in it to his sou, now a boy of sixteen years
old, much information about his ancestors and kinsmen. It will interest other
kinsmen besides his son.
The Leeds pamphlet gives the record of the descendants of Thomas Leeds of
Shrewsburv, X. J., who with his three sons and their wives settled there about
1676.
The periodical entitled "The Family Record" is devoted to preserving the
records of the Sackett. the Weygaut and the Mapes families. This is a good
way to excite interest in family history and to preserve detached records.
The Bcntley pamphlet gives a record of the descendauts of Benjamin Bent-
ley, an Ohio pioneer, with some notices of his ancestors who were from Rhode
Island.
The Bailey-Bayley pamphlet gives an account of a family ^fathering at Row-
ley, Mass., Aug. 19, 1896. A poem by Mrs. Elizabeth S. E. Bailey, several
addresses, some genealogical data and a list of members are here printed.
The Mower pamphlet gives a brief genealogy from Samuel Mower, of Worces-
ter, Mass., born 1600, to the present time.
The Rogers pamphlet, by Judge Drummond, of Portland, Me., traces the
genealogy of the Rogers family of Georgetown, Me., who were of Scotch-Irish
descent, from the early part of the last century to the present time. The author
was induced to preserve in print the facts which he collected with much diffi-
culty, as many of the statements in town histories he found to be imperfect and
sometimes erroneous.
The Tyler pamphlet gives the proceedings of the Tyler gathering at North
Andover, Ma<s., last September. A permanent Tyler Association was formed,
of which Prof. Moses Coit Tyler was chosen president. Addresses were made
and poems read. Some genealogical material is preserved. The secretary and
historian of the association, Willard I. Tyler Brigham, of Chicago, 111., is pre-
paring to publish in three volumes, a complete Tyler Family History.
The Munson pamphlet is by the author of the Munson Record in two volumes
noticed by us in April. 1S96. In it Rev. Mr. Muuson records and reviews the
numerous traditions that have come to him in relation to the Muuson name and
history.
The Historical Journal of the More Family was noticed by us in July, 1806.
A fourth annual number is before us containing material of interest to the
family..
The Bulfinch pamphlet is by Judge Johnson, of Woburn. After some re-
marks on the early settlers of this surname, the descendants are given of John
Bultinch of Boston, Mass., who was married to Elizabeth Bumstcad. by Rev.
Thomas Prince. Nov. 3. 1720. The author states that for six generations with
a possible exception he considers it as complete as ordinary diligence can make it.
The Funeral Sermon on Rev. Samuel R. Thrall has an appendix of irenea-
logical matter. The families whose records are given are those of Thrall,
Bowman and Chipman.
In the pamphlet entitled "Who Carried the Alarm to Watertown, April 18,
1775?", the author, Wm. II. Whitney of Boston, gives facts to prove that it
was his great-grandfather, Abraham Whitney of Watertown, who carried the
Alarm to Watertown.
The Hobart tabular pedigree ™ives a partial list of the descendants of Edmund
Hobart, of Hingham, to the fifth generation.
The Brigham Young Family tabular pedigree traces the ancestry of Brigham
Young to his great-grandfather, Willam Young, who resided iu Barrington and
Nottingham, X. H., but died in Hopkinton, Mass., in 17-47. An Addenda of
" Associated Names " is given.
The Wardell tabular pedigree gives the descendants of Thomas and Elizabeth
Wardell, of Boston, 1631, for nine generations, arranged in an ingenious man-
ner.

DEATHS.
Samuel Austin Bates, sometimes town
clerk of Braintree, Mass., did die there
in the early morning of the 20th of
March last. By his going out we lose
an accurate genealogist and historiog-
rapher. His first ancestor here was
Elder Edward Bates, who landed from
the Griffin, 4th September, 1633. He
soon removed to Weymouth, and in the
adjoining town of Braintree the subject
of this memoir was born the 25th March
1S22. His line runs thus : Edward1
and Susanna, Increase2 and Mary, Sam-
uel3 and Hannah (Ward), Samuel4 and
Hannah (Pratt), Samuel5 and Dorcas
(Shaw), Samuel6 and Susanna Hobart
(Hunt), Samuel Austin7 and Mary
Hervey (Kithrell). Receiving a com-
mon school education, he acquired the
shoemaking trade, laboring for one fab-
ricator in Braintree for 38 years. He
•was chosen town clerk in the years 1S55
and 1856, and again returned to that
office in the year 1875, serving till his
demise. The frequent demands for in-
formation of the past history of the
town, early turned his mind to the un-
raveling of the perplexing questions, and
he became a good student.
His greatest piece of work is a vol-
ume containing over 20,000 entries of
births, intentions of marriage, mar-
riages and deaths which have taken
place in the families of old Braintree.
It is continually referred to as an index,
but it is much more than that, being
a compilation gathered from many
sources, and its compiler himself was
an index and not a maker of such on
paper, for they be but alphabetical ta-
ble makers and you buy them by the
hour. Mr. Bates's correct deductions
from historical evidence was well illus-
trated by his locating the first iron
works in America in his native town, at
what is now known as Morrison's mills,
differing in so doing with all historical
writers who had scanned the same field
and put down their findings. Some
years later he was proven to be correct
by the entries found in the diary of
John \Yinthrop, Jr., who was one of the
partners and the manager in the ven-
ture.
Many more remarkable finds might
be related of this man in his chosen
field, did space permit. The taking of
this space, as I understand it, is that
respect may be paid to the memory of a
valued friend and good worker in a
cause aided and encouraged by a socie-
ty who owns but to share freely with
all mankind.
Mr. Bates was a charter member,
first vice-president and the favorite pre-
siding officer of the Quincy Historical
Society, and in their collections will be
found exhaustive data of him and his
work.
Mr. Bates leaves one son, Frank Am-
asa Bates, who is assistant superinten-
dent of the gypsy moth commission,
past president of the Boston Scientific
Society and its present secretary. It is
interesting to note here the hereditary
trait for a hobby transmitted by the pa-
rent to his offspring, the younger Mr.
Bates, in his early years, by his mania
for bugs and rocks, was looked upon by
the neighbors as a sorry example of
what a boy should be ; " but what could
be expected of a father who spent his
spare time late into the night a- pouring
over dry and uninteresting records of
the past." The great crowd did not
know what it was to labor early and
late and seek not riches or position by
such application. Mr. Bates wore no
badges, and sought no titles, and both-
ered not as to the fit of his clothes ; but
he was always a- weaving and his warp
and woof was not to be found ready at
hand, but each strand called for much
labor and exactness in its producing,
and his loom was never weary and rested
not, and so his memory will ever be
green to all of his kidney. — By Wm. G.
Spear, Librarian Quincy Historical Socie-
ty.

[Cowdham, Downe, Orpington, St. Marys Cray, Pauls Cray and Foots Cray,
parishes iu which these Mannings chiefly had their homes, are all in the Hun-
dred of Ruxley in the County of Kent. Among the places which I have named
the earliest home to which this family can be traced was Cowdham. in which
parish we are told (in Hasted's History of Kent) Richard de Cherfholt had an-
ciently some property, iu the hamlet of Bertrey, or Bettred, as it was after-
wards called, and held the reeveship of the manor of Bertrey under Geoffrey de
Say who discharged him from this office in the 15th year of K. Edward II.,
anno 1321 &c. He died without issue male, and his daughter and heir carried
the estate which he held in it, iu marriage, to William de Manning, who died in
the 17th year of K. Edward III., anno 1312. From him it descended to Hugh
Manuiug, who settled at St. Mary Cray, and left two sous (says Hasted) of
whom John, the elder, was of Downe and Richard, the younger, of Kevington
in St. Mary Cray, wmere his posterity remained till within a few years. The
pedigree which I fouud in the British Museum (in Harl. MS. 1518, fc. 29) gives
this Hugh Manning a third son Robert. Hasted gives the following note about
William de Mauning, above.
"He was the son of Stephen de Manning ; of whom there is mention in old
deeds of the time of K. Edward I., who was descended from Simon de Man-
ning, to whom John Silvester of Westerham demised land by deed in the 11th
year of K. Richard I. and who (as is recorded iu an old pedigree relating to
this family) was engaged in the holy war against the Saracens under that
King.
" They are said to be descended of an antient and noble family which took its
name from Manning, a town in Saxony, from whence they came into England
before the conquest, and some of them are said to have settled in Friesland.
Thev bore for their arms — Gules, a cross potence, orflory, between 4 cinque/oils or.
Guillim, p. 133." (Hasted's Hist, of Kent, Vol. I., p. 121.)
In his account of St. Mary Cray, Hasted (Vol. I., p. Ill) describes Keving-
ton as a manor and scat in that parish, '• now (he says) vulgarly called Keving-
town." This estate was for some generations the residence of the Mannings.
Here also the reader may find some account of this family. He speaks of John
Manning as settled in the parish of Cowdham in the reign of K. Henry IV.. " his
son, of the same name, was also of that parish and died anno 14 K. Henry VI.
leaving by Juliana his wife, daughter and heir of Richard Brockhill relict of
William Wallys, one son, Hugh Manning, who was of St. Mary Cray and mar-
ried the daughter of Sir William Brandon, knt. kinswoman to Charles, Duke of
Suffolk, by whom he had two sons, John, who settled at Downe, from whom
descended the Mannings of Downe, Halstcd and Westerham — and Richard,
who continued at St. Mary Cray, and had three sons." He then continues his
account of this younger branch of the family who remained at Kevimrton down
to Richard Manning Esq., who resided at Kevington, of which he died possessed,
April 21, 1753, without issue, bequeathing it by his last will to his Nephew
Denzil Onslow, Esq., son of Denzil Onslow, Esq., of Drungwick, Sussex, by
Mary, his sister. This Denzil Onslow, Esq., the son, resided at Kevington aud
404 Genealogical Gleanings in England. [July,
married in 1730 the daughter of Thomas Middleton Esq. In a Note on the same
page (141), we learn that Richard son of Thomas, the eldest of the three sons
of the Richard Manning who continued at St. Mary Cray (see above), is said
in his epitaph to have been of Mannings Hall, the old family seat. He died
Sept. 22. anno 1605, in his 72d year, and was buried in the church of St. Mary
Cray. He had a cousin Richard, son of John (another of the three sons above
referred to), who '• married Rachael. one of the daughters and co-heirs of Wm.
White of Hampsted in Middlesex, aud dying Jan. 18, 1640 (1604), in his 63d
year, without issue, was buried in this church." His brother Edward (another
son of John) was bred to the law and married Anne, daughter of Thomas Wil-
loughby, Dean of Rochester.
Through the removal of John Manning (the elder son of Hugh Manning of St.
Mary Cray above mentioued) to Downe the interest of our New Engenders
becomes transferred to that parish, since it is from this John Manning that so
many New England families are descended, through female lines : e.g. the families
of Whitfield, Higginson, Lee and others, through one alliance, and the families
of Waters (of Milbury), Proctor. Felton, Porter, Putnam, Shillaber, Poole,
Benson. Whittredge and others through another alliance. The parish of Downe
immediately adjoins Cowdham, to the West and North West. The manor of
Downe Court, in this parish, was, we are told by Hasted (Vol. I., p. 116), " in the
reigns of K. Edward I. and II., the property and residence of Richard de Downe.
who lies buried, with his wife Margery, in the chancel of this church, but with-
out any inscription on his grave-stone, the brass having been torn from it.
This family becoming extinct here before the middle of the reign of K. Ed-
ward III. the family of Petle (later Petley) appear as lords of the fee. Ac-
cording to Hasted John Petle, the ancestor of this family, was settled at Downe
in the reign of K. Henry III. and bore for his arms — Argent, 2 bends ingrailed,
a cantou sable. His son Richard left issue two sons, John and Richard. John,
the elder son, was possessor of Downe manor, as above, and died possessed
of it in the 18th year of K. Richard II. By Juliana, daughter and heir of William
Troumer of Downe, he had issue Thomas Petle, who died in the 0th year of K.
Henry V. and lies buried, with Isabel his wife, in the church of Downe. His
sou John Petle married Alice, daughter aud coheir of James Brampton, by
whom he had John Petley, who lived in the reign of K. Henry VIII. He died
without male issue, leaving by Christiana his wife, daughter and heir of
Thomas Philipott, four daughters, his coheirs, of whom Agues, the eldest, was
married to John Manning of Downe Esq. (above named), the second to
Bird of Eastham (Eltham?), the third to Cassiughurst, and the fourth
daughter married first to Smith and secondly to Childrens. On
the division of their inheritance the mauor of Downe was allotted to the eldest
daughter. Agnes; and her husband, John Manning, in her right, became en-
titled to it. He died possessed of it, in the 35th year of K. Henry VIII., and lies
buried, with Agues, his wife, in this church. His descendant (grandson) Peter
Manning, of Trowmer, in the reign of K. James I. alienated this manor to Pal-
mer. Hasted follows the descent of the fee through John Palmer to his sou and
heir Michael Palmer, who, in the year 1662. sold it to Mr. Richard Glover. But
the seat of itself, called Downe-court, Hasted tells us, which passed with the
manor to John Manning, in ricrht of his wife, was by his son Henry Manning of
Greenwich Esq., separated from the manor and sold by him to Sir Francis
Carew of Beddingtou, in the County of Surrey, Knight. It is from Phebe,
sister of the said Peter Manning and wife of James Waters of London, and
from her cousin Fortuna Mildreda. daughter of the said Henry Manning and
wife of Thomas Whitfield of Mortlake, that the New England families whom I
have mentioned are descended.
To my young friend Mr. Leland L. Duncan, one of the editors of the publi-
cations of the British Record Society and well known for the interest he takes
in Kentish family history, I am indebted for some interesting contributions.
He gave me a tricking of" arms and a copy of an inscription which he found in
the church at Downe. The arms were those of Manning empaling Petle and
the inscription was as follows : —
Hie Jacet Johunes Maning et Agnes uxor eius fdia et coheres Joftis
Petle de Trowener qui quidem Jolles obiit A0 Dni MCCCCCLIII quor
aiabs ppicief Deus Amen.
1897.] Genealogical Gleanings in England. 405
At St. Mary Cray he found the following inscription (on a brass) : —
Here Richard Manning lies, who sone of Tho Maying came
He dwelt & dyed at Mailings Hall old Hoinestalle to y* name
Zelous of Gods truth hateing sin to honest men right kinde
Hovskeper good & ioyed mvch to welcome freni & frynd
Good wif a helper fit he had Assisted with Godsgrace
In ful ripe yeres he died & hath a blessed place.
Hee departed Septemb. 22° A0 1605 the 72'1 yere of his age.
Mr. Duncan was also kind enough to give me a little photographic copy of a
fiuc rubbing lie had taken from auother beautiful brass in the same church.
This brass shows the figures of another Richard Manning (cousin of the above)
and his wife. Above their heads is a shield bearing the arms of Manning, with
a crescent for difference, and below their feet the following inscription : —
Here lyeth buried the body of Richard Manning sone of John Manning
gen11, who tooke to wife Rachael one of ye davghters and coheyres of Wil-
liam White of Hamsteed in Middlesex with whome having happily lyved
to the service of God and relife of the poore 39 yeares in the Go'1 yeare of
his age he dyed withovt issve the 18 of January 160-4. His wife yet svr-
viviug pvrposeth by Gods permission to be here interred by him at hir
death in whose fellowship she enioyed ye comfort of her life..
Among other notes which Mr. Duncan gave me was the following from Feet
of Fines, Greenwich, 39 Edw. III. Simon Manning of Codham Kent and
Katherine his wife convey lands to Robert Attewode fcc. This must have been
that Simon Manning whose wife Katherine, according to the pedigree, was a
sister of Geoffrey Chaucer.
George Mannyng gen1, was intended as a governor of the Free School which
Qneen Elizabeth contemplated establishing at Lewisham in 1574. A tenement
of Henry Manning's is mentioned at Eltham in 1G05.
The will of Thomas Reston of Eltham, dated 1601, proved at Rochester, men-
tions "house and lands in Crokeuhill in tenure of my brother Richard Man-
nynge." (From Mr. Duncan's notes.)
In a Survey of Eltham, temp. Hen. VIII., Widow Manning is mentioned, also
the heirs of Robert Mannyng 87 acres. (Mr. Duncan.)
The Henry Manning (brother of George) whose daughter Fortune Mildred
became the wife of Thomas Whitfield of Mortlake is styled on the pedigree
" Marescallus Hospitii If. 8" &c. In an old book called The Present State of
London, by Tho: Delauue (London 1G90) I found the following description of
that office : —
" The Knight Marshal, called Mareschalus Hospitii Regis, hath Jurisdiction and
Cognizance of all Crimes within the Royal Palace, whereunto one of the Parties
is the King's servant. He is one of Judges of the Court called the Marshalsea,
or Marshal-Seat of Judicature, which is held in Southwark, and hath there a
Prison belonging to the same. Upon Solemn Occasions he rides before the
King with a short Boston tipt at both ends with Gold, and hath six Provost
Marshals or Virgers in Scarlet Coates to wait on him, and to take care of the
Royal Palace, that no Beggars, Vagabonds, Common Women, that prostitute
their Bodies, Malefactors, &c. come within or near the Court."
I doubt if Leonard Manny in?, whose will (1545) is the second in ray collection,
belonged to this familv, but I have concluded to let it stand. Hugh Mannynge
of Todington (will 1557-1558) the father of Thomas, Richard, William and
Mylles, was the son of John Manning of Downe by his wife Thomasin and so
the half brother of Henrv the father of Mrs. Whitfield and of George the father
of Mrs. Waters.
The will of John Mannyng (1583) introduces a group of brothers some of
whose wills appear from time to time in this collection but whose parentage is
nowhere made definitely known. These brothers, John, Richard, James. Henry,
William, Hugh, Thomas and Martin Manning and their sister Ursula (Botley),
I would suggest, were the children of William Manning, one of the three sons
VOL. LI. 33*
406 Genealogical Gleanings in England. [July*
of Richard, of St. Mary Cray, younger brother of John of Downe. And I am
continued in this by an extract which I made years ago from Morgan's Sphere
of Gentry and also by Harl. MS. 1476. Thomas Manninge, whose will was
proved 14 June 1583, was clearly another of these three sons of Richard.
I now come to some Mannings whom I cannot place at all, although they must
have belonged to this family if we can accept the declaration of one of them,
viz., Edmond Manning of Clifton in Dadington, Oxfordshire, who in his will
(1586), besides mentioning brothers Matthew and Simon and sundry sisters,
referred to Henry Manning of Kent as his cousin and named him and Henry
Manning of Greenwich as two of his overseers. The family of his Kentish
cousin, indeed, were to have the reversion of a house and land jn Northamp-
tonshire after the death of his brother Matthew. This Henry Manning of Kent
most have been one of those eight brothers to whom I have referred above as
the children of "William Manning, for in his will, made in 1610 but proved in
1620, he speaks of this reversionary interest.
The William Manning who married Susanna Kirkener was probably the son
of Hugh and so a nephew, of the half blood, to the Henry Manning of Green-
wich who married Catherine Kirkener.
From the wills of John Morse (1615) and Anne Larnewell (1628) I am led to
infer that the latter was that daughter of Thomas Willoughby, Dean of Roches-
ter, who was married to Edward Manning. She afterwards became the wife of
Mr. Henry Barnewell. Her daughter Joan married (1) John Morse and (2)
Jeremy Biggs.
Henry Manninge the tallowchandler of London whose will was proved in 1632
must have been the fourth son of Peter and Elizabeth Manning. His will is im-
portant for its mention of his cousin Richard "Waters, and Richard "Waters
signed the will as a witness.
The genealogical value of the will of John Webb (1624-1625) can hardly be
overestimated, mentioning, as he does, wife Dorothy and brethren in law
Thomas Manniug and William Plasse. It is just this mention of William
Plasse which settles the problem of the maternal ancestry of our Richard
Waters of Salem. In the Manning pedigree (Harl. MS. 1548) we see that two
of the daughters of George Manning of Downe were Dorathea ux. Joh'is Webb
and Phebe ux. Jacobi Waters. Now^James Waters of London left a widow Phebe
and a son Richard. William Plasse. a gunsmith, married this widow Phebe. A
William Plasse, gunsmith, came to Salem and also a Richard Waters. At the
death of William Plasse this Richard Waters calls himself son in law (i. e.
stepson) of the deceased. In 1679 I found the will of James Waters of London
and published a very meagre abstract of it (Gleanings &c. by Emmerton and
Waters, Essex Institute, Salem, Mass., pp. 121-3). A larger abstract here
follows.
James Waters of the parish of St. Buttolph without Algate, Lon-
don, citizen and ironmonger of London, 17 May 1617, proved 16 February
1617. To be buried in the South church yard of the parish church of St.

decease shall bless me withal, I will the same shall be divided into three
equal parts and portions according to the laudable Custom of the City of

wife Phebe Waters, one other full third part I give and bequeath unto my

* James Waters buried Feb. 2, 1617.
" William Plasse, gunsmith, and Phebe Waters, widow, late wife to James
Waters Citizen and Ironmonger were married by a license, the xxiii day of
Februarie, A. D. 1618."
William Plasse, as I have said, came to Salem where the town in 1637 granted,
for him and bis wife, the house formerly Mr. Conant's, with a half acre of land
attached, etc. and in 1643 they appointed a committee to provide for him a con-
venient room to work in and to set a forge, etc. He died in 1040 and his estate was
administered by Thomas Wickes or Weeks whose wife Alice (afterwards the
wife of Nicholas Potter) and two children, Hannah, wife of John Pickman, and
Bethia. wife of John Archer, are afterwards found in occupancy of the real es-
tate, which was opposite our Market place or Derby Square. The gunsmith's
tools were found to be in the possession of Richard Waters who, in a document,
now extant in the Court House at Salem, calls himself a son-in-law of the de-
ceased.
This Richard Waters, son of James and Phebe (Manning) Waters of London,
probably came to New England with his stepfather Mr. Plasse and settled in
Salem. His house stood close to Cat Cove on Salem Neck near that estate
once known as Hollin ^worth's, afterwards as Hathorne's Parni and more re-
cently as Powell's. The exact date of his death I have not ascertained, but the
Inventory of his estate was taken 25-7-1077. His will, dated 10 July 1070,
was proved 2^-9-1077. In it he names wife Joyce and sons William. James,
John and Ezekiel. William was to be maintained during his natural life by his
brother Ezekiel, or if not by Ezekiel then by John. The daughters named are
Martha, Abigail Punchard, Mary English, Susana Pulsiuer and Hanna Striker.
The baptisms of some of these children are given in the Register of the First
Church. Salem, as follows : — a child (probably John) bap. 27-9-1040; Elizabeth
bap. 20-12-1042-3 (died 3-12-1002) ; Abigail bap. 18-3-1045 (mar. William Pun-

1652-3 (mar. Joseph Striker 10-2-1673). Mary mar. Clement English 27 Aug.
1667. James removed to Topstield, married and left issue, of whom Daniel (I
believe) removed to Norfolk County, where he left issue. Besides the children
above named I suspect that Richard and Joyce (or Rejoice) Waters had another
daughter Phebe Waters whom I find married to Thomas West ll-S-1058. She
died 16-2-1674, and Mr. West married (2) Mary Tennee 14-8-1674.
John Waters (son of Richard and Joyce) married 1-6-1663 Sara Tompkins a
daughter of John Tompkins, bap. 1-11-1642. He lived in North Field, now
North Salem, and owned land on Royal (or Riall) Side, now in Beverly. His
will, dated 14 Feb. 1706-7, was sworn to as the will of John Waters Seur. 1
March 1707-8. He mentions his wife, without naming her, and names three
sons, John, Richard and Nathauiel, and three daughters, Elizabeth (unmarried)
and daughters Symonds and Jacobs. From the records I get the following
children^of John and Sara Waters.
Johnard } 1oorn last of June 1664 ; died within a fortnight.
John born 4 July 1665 ; mar. Mary .
Sara born 30 June 1667; mar. Johu Symouds 3 Mar. 1639-90.

John Waters junior (son of above) mar. Mary , whose parentage I
have not learned, but who received baptism, as an adult, in First Church, Sa-
lem, 19 April 1702. He also lived in North Field and owned laud on Royal Side.
Iu his will, dated 10 Feb. 1741(2) and proved 5 April 1742 he calls' himself
houscwright and names son John, daughter Sarah (unmarried) and daughters
Mary Felton, Lydia Proctor, Eunice Gardner and Abigail Porter. From the
records I get the following : —
John bap. 19 July 1702; mar. (1) Elizabeth Gardner 30 Nov. 1721 and (2)
wid. Abigail Putnam 9 Dec. 1747.
Mary bap. 19 July 1702; mar. Felton (see Genealogy of the Felton

Abigail bap. 12 June 1709; mar. Eleazar Porter (pub. 2 Sept. 1732).
John Waters (son of above) married, as we have seen, two wives. His first
wife, the mother of all his children, was Elizabeth Gardner, born 30 March 1701,
eldest daughter of Mr. Abel Gardner (son of Samuel and Mary (White) Gard-
ner) by Sarah, daughter of Mr. Israel and Elizabeth (Hathorne) Porter. The
will of this John Waters, made 29 April 1760 and proved 26 May 17C0, refers to

ton, Lydia Proetor and Sarah Waters, sons John and Abel and daughters Eliza-
beth Jacobs, Mary Shillaber, Lydia Putnam, Abigail Waters and Eunice Waters.
Of these daughters Mary, bap. 4 May 1735 was married, 2 December 1755 to
Capt. William Shillaber." The late well known Fitch Poole Esq. married a
granddaughter of this William and Mary (Waters) Shillaber and had by her
(besides other issue) Elizabeth Poole now the wife of my friend Mr. George W.
Benson of Salem.
Capt. John Proctor who married Lydia Waters (see above) died in 1773, leav-
ing sons Benjamin, Silvester and Joseph Proctor and daughters Lydia Flint,
Mary Osborne, Sarah Gould and Prudence Buffinton. His eldest son, John
Proctor, had predeceased him (in 1771) leaving (with other issue) a son John-
son Proctor who married, 31 Dec. 1769, another Lydia Waters, daughter of Abel
Waters and grand daughter of John and Elizabeth (Gardner) Waters. They
were the parents of Abel Proctor, the father of Lydia Waters, wife of the Rev.

Additional Notes about the Proctor Family.
In my researches made in the Court House at Salem about these Proctors I
gathered certain facts which justify me, I believe, in venturing to correct Sav-
age's statements about the first two John Proctors. He says that the first John
Proctor of Ipswich came 1635 a?t. 40, from Loudon in the Susan and Ellen with
wife Martha, aet. 2S and children. John 3 and Mary 1, aud in a few years was
settled at Salem. His wife died 13 June 1659 ; but he took a second wife of the
same baptismal name who outlived him &c. Of John Proctor the son (after-
wards condemned for witchcraft), he says that he married, December 1CG2,
Elizabeth daughter of John Thorndike, who died in August (30th) 1G72, and
had, for a second wife, Elizabeth Bassett, married 1 April" 1G74.
Let me now give some of the facts which I have found. The transcripts
from Ipswich town records give me the following births, deaths and marriages :
Mary dau. of John Prockter born 1 January 1657.
Mary dan. of John Prockter died — February 1657.
Martha dau. of John Prockter juur died 14 October 1658.
John son of John Prockter junr died in October 1658.
Benjamin son of John Prockter born 10 June 1659.
Martha wife of John Prockter died 13 June 1659.
John Prockter and Elizabeth Thorudick married — December 1662.
Martha dan. of John Prockter born 1 April and died 10 May 1665.
Benjamin Procter and Deborah Hart married — February 1673.
In the Court records and files I got certain depositions showing ages as fol-
lows : —
John Prockter Senr speaks of " my brother Giddens"26 March 1667,
calling himself aged 75 years. (George Gidding aged 59).
Benjamin Procter aged about 17 years in 1668.
John Procter, about 40. deposes 18-5-1676.
John Proctor being presented, 25-9-1678, for selling strong water and
cider to Indians two of his children give their depositions 29-9-1678, viz1.
Elizabeth, his daughter, about 16, and Benjamin, his son, about 18.
John Proctor sen1-, about 54, and Benjamin Proctor, about 26, make
depositions 30 November 1686.
The first John Proctor, of Ipswich (I doubt if he ever lived in Salem) must
have died before 11 Oct. 1G72, when an inventory of his estate was taken. His
will, as Savage says, names wife Martha, grandchildren Martha Hadley and
John Ha(dley.) daughters Martha White, Abigail Varney, Sarah Dodge and Han-
nah Weden and sons Johu, Joseph and Benjamin. Martha was probably the
wife of James White (who was present in jail when the second John Proctor
made his will;, Abigail was the wife of Thomas Varney and Sarah was the wife
of John Dodge (son of William Dodge senior).
In view of all these facts I woukTinfer that all those children whose births
and deaths were recorded in Ispwich during the years 1G57, 1G58 and 1G59 and
the Martha who was born and died in 1GG5 were the children of the second John
Proctor ; that the Mrs. Martha Proctor who died 13 June 1G59 was his wife, not
his father's, and that she died in childbed three days after the birth of her last
■
410 Genealogical Gleanings hi England. [Jufy>
(and only surviving) child Benjamin Proctor whom we find still living in 1686,
according to his own deposition: that the earlier Benjamin Proctor who was
about 17 in*1668 was the youngest son of the first John Proctor and the one who
married Deborah Hart in 1673 (4) : and, finally, that young Elizabeth Proctor
who deposed in 1G7S was the eldest child of the second John Proctor by his
second (not first) wife Elizabeth Thorndike. She it must have been who was
married to Thomas Very and received a child's portion in the disposition of her
father's estate as Elizabeth Very, while another portion was awarded to an
Elizabeth Proctor who was doubtless one of the daughters of John Proctor's
third wife Elizabeth Bassett.
It was Benjamin Proctor, born in 1659, eldest son (by first wife) of John
Proctor of Salem, who was the father of the Capt. John Proctor who married
Lydia Waters and great grandfather of the Johnson Proctor who married a
later Lydia Waters.
I found in a transcript from the Lynn records that a Benjamin Proctor mar-
ried Mary Bulkeley IS Dec. 1694, while another account, furnished by one of
the family, says that Benjamin Proctor married Mary Whiteredge S Dec. 1694.
This matter needs more careful examination than I can sive to it at present.

[The foregoing abstracts of wills of the Whitfield family I have kept by me
many years in the hopes of gathering a lot of notes on the Manning family of
Kent to accompany them, for, as will be seen above, Mr. Thomas Whittield the
father of our Henry Whittield aud the grandfather of Mrs. Sarah, wife of the
Rev. John Hig2;iuson, aud probably also of Mrs. Dorothy, wife of Samuel Dis-
browe of Guilford, Connecticut, afterwards keeper of the Great Seal of Scot-
land, married into this family of Manning, thus endowing very many of our
present New England families with a very interesting line of ancestry. Having
now collected and set in some order most of these Manning notes I have thus
redeemed the promise made some years ago in my Gleanings (Part III., page
253).
A printed pedigree of the family of Whitfield may be found in Clutterbuck's
History of Hertfordshire (Vol. I., p. 189). Another I have noted as being in
Berry's County Genealogies (Sussex, page 15). In Harleian MS. 1132 (240 in

•worth. From the -wills we may infer that Jone, daughter of Robert Whitfield
and sister of Thomas Whitfield of Mortlake, became the wife of Robert Baker
of a well known Sussex family. Jane, another of his daughters, was married
to Richard Porter of Begeham or Barnaul' (see Hasted's Kent, Vol. II., pp. 376-
7) and had issue three sous and four daughters, of whom the sons were Thomas
Porter of Gcud hurst. Richard Porter of London and John Porter of Lamber-
hurst ; of the four daughters Mary married Thomas Goodman, Jane married
Edmund Hawes, Elizabeth married"(l) Robert Baker and (2) Anthony Fowle
and the fourth was Susan Porter. We learn too that the wife of William Whit-
field, the only brother of Thomas of Mortlake, was named Mary, and that this
William had seven sons and five daughters whom he named in his will. I do uot
recollect ever to have seen a complete list of the children of our Henry Whit-
field. We know that he had Nathaniel. Dorothy and Sarah. Perhaps others
may suggest more names. — H. F. Waters.]

[Thomas Mulliner first appears in New Haven Colony in 1639, and was a
purchaser of Branford lands.
He evidently followed his father's trade of a joiner, as in 1047 the governor
acquainted the court that the king's arms wrere cut by Mr. Mulliner for the town
and were to be primed and set up on a post on the highway.
He was evidently a restless and independent spirit, as he was frequently in
court and in litigation with his neighbors on land matters. William Meaker
brought an action against him for defamation, as Mulliner had accused him of
bewitching his pigs, several of them having died in a strange way.
He stated Mulliner had cut off the ear and tail from one of them and burnt it,
and Mulliner admitted it was a means used in England by honest people to find
out witches.
Thomas Mulliner, junior, was also at New Haven and removed about 1053 to
West Chester and was Living there in 1001 with wife Martha who was sister of
Nathaniel Browne of Debach, a parish about ten miles northeast of Ipswich,
EDgland. Walter K. Watkins.]

[Rev. Thomas James, bred at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, England,
preached in Lincolnshire and arrived in New England 5 June, 1G32, on the
" William and Francis " and became the pastor of the church in Charlestown,
2 Nov. 10)32. His son John was baptized there 9-11, 1632-3.
His position was not a pleasant one, as a spirit of discord appeared within a
year and in March, 163G, he was dismissed.
His house and five acres of woodland in Mystic Field, butting on the Com-
mon, was sold to Thomas Coytemore and Mr. James went to New Haven where
land was granted him in 1639, and his grandson Nathaniel was baptized there
1 August, 1641.
On 7 Oct. 1642 he sailed for Virginia with Rev. John Knowles of "Water-
town and Rev. William Thomson of Braintree, but returned to New Haven in
1613 and from thence went to Englaud before 1613.
He is said by Hubbard to have been subject to melancholy and of a jealous
disposition. Johnson in his Wonder Working Providence commeuds him for
his talents and piety.
The son Thomas James was born in Englaud, first appears on the records of
Easthampton, Long Island, 22 April, 1651, and 23 August, 1651, he was voted
£15 and his laud rate free for the ensuing year and £50 and rate free for future
years. His grist was to be ground at the mill first of all on the second day of
the week, and one half of all whales cast on the shore were given him and Lion
Gardiner.
In 1691, on account of his age and infirmities, the town was obliged to employ
some one to assist him in his duties.
He died 6 June, 1696, and tradition states he possessed eccentricities as well
as his father, and that by his wish he was interred with his head toward the
east that he might face his people at the general resurrection.
Needham Market is a hamlet in the parish of Barking, Suffolk, and a station
On the Great Eastern Railway 763 miles from London and S| miles northwest
from Ipswich. It has a population of about fifteen hundred. The Church of
St. John the Baptist is a fine, old, spacious structure, consisting of nave and
chancel, with a beautifully carved open wood roof.
From this living Rev. Thomas James the elder was ejected, and collected there
a considerable congregation according to Calamy, and ten years later, in 1672,
he was licensed as a Presbyterian teacher. A chapel of the Independents was
rebuilt in 1717 which was doubtless a shelter to the successors of James's
first congregation and that of the Rev. John Fairfax of Barking.
Needham Market is best known to the present generation as containing a
manufactory for " The Crown Glue," a well known product of English manu-
facture.
Mr. John Fairfax, a legatee, was the minister at Barking, from which parish
he was ejected and where he died, 11 August, 1700, aged 77.
The parish register at Barking, which includes that of Needham Market,
commences at the early date of 1503. Walter K. Watkins.]

LEVI LINCOLN,
LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS.
He was the third son of Enoch Lincoln, of Hinghani, Mass.,
where he was born May 15, 1719. His mother was Rachel Fear-
ing, daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah (Johnson) Fearing. The
father took an active part in the affairs of the town, served as a
member of revolutionary committees and was a member of the
General Court. Levi was apprenticed to an ironsmith to learn his
trade, but while working at the anvil he showed a taste for literature,
and devoted a portion of the night to the study of the Latin and
Greek languages. lie finally gave up his trade, and after six months'
preparation entered Harvard College, where he was graduated in
the class of 1772. After he left college he studied law with Daniel
Farnham of Xewburyport, Mass., where he studied about a year,
and then entered the office of Joseph Hawley, in Northampton.
He 'began practising law at "Worcester in 1775. In April of that
year he marched with the minute men to Cambridge. The principal
men in Worcester county had adhered to the king and had been
driven from the country. Only two lawyers remained. The courts
were closed for a year by the tumult of arms, but when reopened
Mr. Lincoln had an extensive practice. His professional duties,
however, did not prevent him from taking an active part in the cause
of Independence. In 1775 he was appointed Clerk of the Court of
Common Pleas, and the next year Judge of Probate for Worcester
county. In 1779 he was the government commissioner for confis-
cated estates. He was a delegate to the Massachusetts Convention
in 17K0, for forming a constitution for the state. In 1781 he was
chosen by the Massachusetts legislature a delegate to the Continental
Congress, but the honor was declined. In 1797 he was chosen to

a seat in the Senate of Massachusetts, and in 1800 was elected a
member of the United States House of Representatives from the
Worcester district. He took his seat March 4, 1801, but the next
day was appointed, by the president, attorney general of the United
States, and was provisional secretary of state till the arrival of
Hon. James Madison at Washington in the following May. After
serving as attorney general for nearly four years he felt compelled
to resign his office. President Jefferson writing to him December
2S, 1804, says :
I received your letter, proposing to resign your office; and I received it
with real affliction. It would have been my greatest happiness to have
kept together to the end of my term our executive family, for our harmony
aud cordiality have really made us one family.
In 1806 he was elected a member of the Council of Massachu-
setts, and in 1807 lieutenant governor of the state. He was re-
elected the next year. On the death of Gov. James Sullivan, Dec.
10, 1808, he became acting governor. He was nominated for gov-
emor in 1809, but was defeated by Gov. Christopher Gore, the
federal candidate. In 1810 he was chosen a member of the execu-
tive council. In 1811 he was appointed by President Madison an
associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Presi-
dent [Madison wrote him a letter notifying him of his appointment
and urging him to accept. Weakness of sight, terminating in al-
most total blindness, rendered it necessary for him to decline. He
died April 14, 1820, aged seventy-one.
On the second of October, 1829, Joseph Willard, Esq., de-
livered an address to the members of the bar of Worcester county,
Massachusetts, in which he pays a fitting tribute to the memory of
Lieut.-Gov. Lincoln, from which we make the following extract:
No member of this har lias ever been called into public life so frequently,
or in so many relations as the late Gov. Lincoln. For a period of nearly
forty years, he was in active life, amid vast and important changes in our
community, such as none of the present generation can be called upon to
witness. Coming into life when the flame of liberty was flickering and
inconstaut, when a few feeble colonies were struggling for existence, he
was an actor in the various mutations of the Revolution, in the feeble days
of a confederation that was rapidly reducing to a condition worse than
foreign dependence, and in the vigorous aud healthful action of the new
Constitution, till our national polity was settled on a firm, and it is to be
hoped an imperishable basis.
But it is with his professional character that we are chiefly concerned.
He was without question at the head of the bar from the close of the Rev-
olution till he left our courts at the commencement of the present century.
His professional business was far exceeding that of any other member of
the bar. He was retained in every case of any importance, and for many
years constantly attended the courts in Middlesex and Hampshire. His
great command of lauguage, his power in searching the truth from unwill-
ing witnesses, in analyzing, arranging, and presenting to the mind the evi-

dence of the case, rendered him a highly popular advocate, and gave him
great success in jury trials. Wide reading and extensive practice consti-
tuted him a learned jurist. He was in the habit of making very full briefs ;
a practice commended by some and censured by others; but the expediency
of which must after all depend chiefly upon the peculiar construction of the
mind itself.
In his arguments he was long and minute, nor suffered anything to escape
that might by any possibility be turned into account. His turn of mind
was metaphysical ; this led him sometimes like Burke to refine too much,
till the force of the point was somewhat injured by the subtilty of the
speculation. But this was not common. So great was the pleasure ho
derived from metaphysics that he made it a particular study; not that he
indulged in the systems of others, but he made his own system, by a careful
observation of the operations of his own mind and its affections. And in
conversation he would indulge in his favorite subject, and task the powers
of those who heard him in following out his nicely elaborated reasonings.
Late in life he resumed the study of the classics, returning to them as to
a pleasant retreat after the heat, bustle and excitement of a long professional
and political career.
He was one of the original members of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences, a trustee of the Leicester Academy, the first
president of the Worcester Agricultural Society, and a member of
many other useful associations.
He married Martha, daughter of Daniel Waldo, Esq. She died,
in 1828, aged sixty-six years. They had ten children. His son
Levi was governor of Massachusetts, and another son, Enoch, was
governor of Maine. Another son, William, distinguished as an
antiquarian writer, was the author of the History of Worcesester,
published in 1837.
ALDEN GENEALOGY.
By Mis. Charles L. Alden, of Troy, X. Y.
I shall make an attempt, in this genealogy, to correct many errors that
have crept in ; and to add much valuable material, that I have discovered
in searching the probate and town records. I do not pretend to trace
John Alden on the other side of the water. I think he is of English stock,
from the southern part of England, as evidenced by "marriages in London,"
etc. These Aldens were of the better class of yeomanry, some gentlemen.
There is a "coat of arms" of an Alden family, but there is no proof that
Pilgrim John is connected with it. The name occurs in Norway, spelled
Auldiu or Auldine.* One of the minor castles on the Rhine is the
property of a family of Van Aldens, and the name is not uncommon in
•My sister, while travelling there, came across two little peasant hoys; one of them
resembling mv little son, John Alden, she was induced to ask his name, and was start-
led by the reply "Jan Aulden."

Germany. Some time since, an article in the Cosmopolitan claimed John
Alden as of Welsh descent, but investigation of this did not establish the
claim. John Alden was not of the Leyden Congregation, for Governor
Bradford tells us '-John Alden was hired for a cooper at South Hampton
where the ship victualled; and being a hopful yonge, was much desired ; but
left to his own liking to go or stay, when he came here ; but he stayed, and
married here." Notwithstanding the prominence he attained, in his deeds
of sale or gift, he almost invariably describes himself as "cooper,"' occasional-
ly as uyeoman," and only once, that I have discovered, as ••gentleman." Pie
was educated above the average, aud took his stand very soon as a
man of weight in the community. Tradition says he was of a fine Saxon
type, "the tallest man in the Colony." ''He was the youngest signer of the
compact."
Bradford says of the Molines family, " Mr. Molines, and his wife, and
his sone — and his servant dyed the first winter; only his daughter Pris-
cilla survived, and meried with John Aldeu, who are both living, and have
eleven children, and their eldest daughter is maried, and hath five chil-
dren."
It is supposed that the Molines were Walloons, or French Huguenots,
for Baird's History of Huguenot Emigration to America, vol. 1, page 158,
says: '•' Wm. Molines, and his daughter Priscilla, afterwards wife of John
Alden, and Philip De la Noye and others remained in Leyden." That is
when the French Huguenots " went to Guiana." I am inclined to think, that
either William Molines. or his wife Alice were English, for after this they
went to England, aud joined the Pilgrims there. They embarked in the
Speedwell, but in the re-adjustment of the passengers after the ship Speed-
well gave out we find them in the Mayflower. When William Molines
died, he left a will which was proved in Dorking, Co. Surrey, England.
This will can be seen entire in the N.-E. Hi>t. and Gen.. Register, vol.
42, p;*ge G3, from Waters's Genealogical Gleanings in England.
We see by this will that he left a married daughter, Sarah Blunden, in
England; also his son William, who was to have his ''father's share of
land, if he came to America." We do not know whether Sarah Blunden
followed her father; but his son William did, and received his father's share
of land, and also a grant of laud in 1633. from Plymouth to the first borne
t;of the old servants." On this list is the name of Resolved White, who
was the oldest son of William White, then dead, aud Resolved was born
on th'e other side of the water. William Mullines, Jr., was a freeman in
1G42. On list of those capable of bearing arms in 1G43. Of Middle-
borough in 1C64. I think that William Mullines, who married in Boston,
May 7, 1656, Ann, widow of Thomas Bell, was his son, though it may
have been himself; a second marriage. I think that Isaac Molyne (who
in 1G52 was part owner of a sloop with Capt. John Alden. which was lost
off Nantucket), was his son; also the first husband of widow Joauna
Mullines, who married in Boston, 21 Sept., 1659, John Lawton, perhaps
of Newtown, L. I.
William Mullines, Jr., ended his days in Braintree, probably at the
home of his daughter Sarah Faxon, the "12mo. 12. 1672." His son-in-
law Thomas Faxson, administers on the estate, and gives inventory of
ki estate of my wife's father." Sarah married first, Thomas Gannett, of
Bridgewater; second, William Saville, of Braintree (his third wife); and
third, Thomas Faxon (his second wife). She left no children by any of
her husbands, and in her will made 13 Aug., 1694, proved 25 Nov., 1697,

she speaks of son-in-law Benjamin Saville, and daughter-in-law Lydia
Saville.* Also to cousin Ruth Webb.f wife of Peter Webb. After these
few bequests, the rest of her property to go to " her nearest relatives." She
was 73 years when she made her will — born 1621. William Mul lines, Jr.
may have had other children.
Mrs. Jane G. Austin has reproduced for us, in " Standish of Standish "
the village and family traditions of the vivacity of the dark haired and dark
eyed Priscilla, also that she was noted for her dainty cooking. John Alden
was born in 1509, and died Sept. 12. 16S7, *; the last male survivor of
those who signed the Compact." There is a tradition that they were mar-
ried in 1621 in the spring, but I feel sure it was a little later, near the
first part of 1622. This marriage was the second or third in the Colony.
Tradition also says Priscilla was eighteen when she landed. We know
nothing further of her — only as the wife of John Alden. and the mother
of his children — till 16S0. At the funeral of Gov. Josiah Winslow, were
present ''the venerable John Alden. with Priscilla on his arm." I feel
very sure she died before her husband, for there is no mention of her in
the notices of his death. She was certainly not alive in January, 1 683-9, four
months later. Elizabeth fTillie) Howland dies then, and mention is made of
the fact, that she was the last but three of the " Mayflower Band." These
three were Resolved White, who died in 1690; John Cooke, who died in
Dartmouth, Sept. 14, 1695 (the last male survivor of the Mayflower Band) ;
and, last of all, Mary (Allerton) Cushman in 1699. In the Division of Land
in 1624, John Alden's family is given. The number opposite his name
is torn off. Davis assumes, the number was two. but I feel sure it was
three, for Elizabeth Alden was born then. In the Division of Cattle, May
25, 1627, the family is given as follows: John Alden, Priscilla Alden,
Elizabeth Alden, se. 3. and John Alden, ve. 1. Till 1627, he lived iu Ply-
mouth. Davis's " Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth," page 193, says:
" The earliest records indicate that all the land between Burial Mill, and
Main Street, once belonged to John Alden, and William Bradford."
The land of Mr. Alden covered the site of the old school house, and
School Street, and it is quite probable that before his removal to Duxbury
in 1627, he there lived. On his removal, it was probably surrendered. As
in later records it is called Town Commons. His home in Duxbury was
destroyed by fire. The locality of the cellar can be seen near the house of
Jonathan Alden, with whom he lived when he died. Examinations of some
old records sustain Justin Winsor in his statements in his History of Dux-
bury. " He removed to Duxbury, and settled on the land, which had
been granted to him on the South side of Blue fish river. He built
his house on a rise of land, near Eagle Tree pond, and the site is
identified to the eastward of the present buildiug, near the dyke, and
here was his well, which long since having been filled up, it is now with
difficulty that the precise situation be found. The second house stood a
little further to the westwards; and the present house, which was erected
by his grandson Col. John Alden, stands still further to the West." The
original grant contained over one hundred and nine acres. I have seen a
photograph of the Alden house, now standing, claiming to have been built
in 1653. Of course this is not so. It is said that when John Alden's
house was burned, he and Priscilla took refuge with their son, Jonathan.
Jonathan was married in 1672. And it is extremely improbable that he

had a house before that time, and as the present Alden house was built by
his son, John, it is probable that the date of erection was about 1700.
In 1G26, he, Standish, Brewster, and Howland and others of the principal
men of the Colony, agreed to pay the Colony's debts, contracted in Eng-
land, and " otherwise to prevent the ruin of the Colony by want of credit;
and during the following year, bargained with the people for the consign-
ment of the trade to them, promising to free them from the payment of
the Colony's debts." In 1633, he was chosen a member of the Board of
Assistants to the Governor, and continued with few interruptions to his
death. He was not Assistant from 1G40 to 1G50, and during that time was
Deputy from Duxbury. In 1G6G to 1687, he was first on the Board of
Assistants and was styled Deputy Governor, and " on him devolved the duty
of presiding in the absence of the Governor; and on these occasions he
ruled with dignity aud perseverance. Holding offices of the highest trust,
no important measure was proposed, or any responsible agency ordered in
which he had not a part. He was often one of the Council of War, many
times an arbritrator, a Surveyor of lands for the Government, as well as
for individuals, and on several important occasions was authorized to act as
Agent, or Attorney for the Colony. He was chosen Treasurer in 1G56,
and held that office for three successive years." In those days the salary
of public officers was very small, and a refusal to serve was not received
under the penalty of a fine. Constant devotion to the public service so
"reduced his estate," that the Court took notice of it, and valuing him so
highly, they felt they could not afford to lose him, and took immediate
action as appears in the following record: "In regard that Mr. Alden is
low in his estate, and occationed to spend time at the Courts on the Con-
treyes occations. and soe hath done this many years; the Court have allowed
him a small gratuity, the sume of ten pounds to be payed by the Treas-
urer."
"He was possessed of a sound judgement, and of talents, which though
cot brilliant were by no means ordinary, and disputable. The writers who
mention him, bear ample testimony to his industry, integrity and exemp-
lary piety, and he has been represented as a worthy and useful man, of
great humility, and eminent for the sancity of his life. He was decided,
ardent, resolute, and persevering, indifferent to danger, a bold and hardy
man ; * * * * of incorruptible integrity, an iron nerved Puritan,
who could hew down forests and live on crumbs. He was a puritan,
both in theory and in practice; and a professed disciple of Jesus Christ,
he lived in accordance with his profession. He was a meek, humble, sin-
cere, pious and faithful follower of the blessed Redeemer, and his end was
peace and triumph. * * * * In addition to his spiritual blessings,
he was crowned with that competence, which is vital to content, with an
uncommon length of days, and with a goodly number of children, all of
whom delighted in the ordinances of God, and finally left that good name
in the world, which is better than precious ointment. He was always a
firm supporter of the clergy, and the church, and everything of an innovat-
ing nature received his determined opposition."
It has been claimed that he was a poor man, because the Inventory of
his estate shows only £o0. This is not so. He divided his estate amongst
his children, before his death; and spent his last days with his son Jona-
than. His deeds of conveyances are not all recorded, and very few at the
time when given. Later, his sons aud descendants in giving or selling their
lands, refer to these deeds. I will give them, as I come to the different

families. He left no will, but iu 1687 Jonathan Alden is made adminis-
trator on the estate, and all the heirs sign a receipt to him, that they hare
received their part. In this settlement, June 13, 1688, first the sous sign
that are present, then the unmarried daughter Priscilla, then the husbands
of the daughters — where the daughters are dead they are mentioned, when
alive, merely the signatures of the men, as for instance William Pabodie
and Thomas Delano, then Mary the wife of the absent or dead Zackariah.
The deed is missing from the case in Plymouth, but it was copied in the
Probate Records, Vol. 1. The settlement is as follows:
\Ye, whose names are subscribed personally interested in the estate of John
Alden, senior, of Duxbury, Esquire, lately deceased, do hereby acknowledge
ourselves to have received, each of us our full personal proportion thereof from
Jonathan Alden. Administrator thereof, do by these presents for ourselves, our
heirs and executors acquit, discharge fully the said Jonathan Alden, his heirs
forever of and from all rights, dues, demands, whatsoever, relating to the afore-
said estate

It has been claimed that John Alden was cruel to the Quakers iu his
later days, but I do not see that this is proved. The railings of Norton are
of no value. A full account is given in Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic. I
dow give the children of John and Priscilla, a3 far as known. We have
not a single date of birth, but we have other ways of judging of the year
of birth, of most of them. I welcome any corrections. I will give the
reasons for so judging, as we come to the different families.

I have quoted at length from Justin "Winsor, partly because his descrip-
tion is so admirable, and partly because, being a resident of Duxbury, so
many years, I feel that his facilities were better than any we have now, to
write of John Alden.

[The preceding will of William Deane of Southchard was sent to me about
twenty years ago by William Dean, Esq., of London. He thought there were
strong reason.? for believing that the testator Mas the father of John and Wal-
ter Deane who settled at Taunton in New England, in which opinion I concur.
The late Charles Deane, LL.D.. of Cambridge, Mass., was strongly of this
opinion, and, with my consent, had a few copies of this will printed at the Uni-
versity Press, for private distribution.
Rev. Samuel Deane of Scituate, author of the History of Scituate, Mass.,
left among his manuscripts this memorandum about the Taunton settlers :
" John Deane came into Plymouth colony with his brother Walter A.D. 1G38.
They took the freeman's oath the same year and settled at Cohannet now Taun-
ton. They came from the town of Cbard, near Taunton in Somersetshire,
England. They arrived at Boston first, stopped a year or nearly at Dorchester,
and then came with others to Taunton."
.
434 Will of William Cogan. ." [Oct.
Mr. "William Dean discovered this will and sent me an abstract as early as
1876. On the 31st of May in that year he sent me a tabular pedigree of some
of the descendants who remained in England of this William Deaue of South-
chard. At various times he sent me abstracts of the wills of persons who there
seemed to be reason to believe were kinsmen of his. I hope to prepare and
print them at some time.
The daughter Margerie Strong mentioned in the will I take to be the first
wife of Elder John Strong. Gov. Caleb Strong, in his account of Elder Strong,
written May 2G, 1777 (Register, Vol. 23. pp. 294-6), says: "He came to
America in the year 1630. He sailed from Plymouth in company with Mr. War-
ham, Maverick, Mason, Clap, &e., and arrived at Nantasket on the 30th of May
of that year and settled in Dorchester. He married his first wife in England,
who died immediately after landing in this country, leaving two young chil-
dren, the youuge?t of which died two months after its mother" (Register, Vol.
23, p. 204*)." Margerie Strong had 'a son John, who is mentioned in this (her
fathers") will. Gov. Strong gives John as the name of the only surviving child
of Elder John Strong by his first wife. Dwight's Strong Genealogy, Vol. 1, p.
19, gives the date of his birth as 1626, adding that he " died at Windsor, Ct.,
Feb. 20, 1693, aged 72."
Gov. Strong says that " A sister of his [Elder Strong's] came with him from
England who afterwards married a person by the name of Dean." When the
late William Reed Deaneand myself were compiling the article on " The Deane
Family," printed in the Register. Oct. 1819, Vol. 3. pp. 375-387, we met with
this statement by "William Cogswell, D.D.,* and queried which of the brothers
John or "Walter Deane married Mis^ Strong. We found that "Walter Deane in
two different deeds dated in 1691 (Bristol Registry of Deeds, Book I., p. 152,
and Book III., p. 390) calls John Strong his brother, and as we found no evidence
of relationship between Johu Deane and John Strong, we thought it probable
that Miss Strong became the wife of Walter Deane, whose wife's christian name
was Eleanor (Register, Vol. 3, p. 2>3).
"When Mr. Dean sent me the will of William Deane of Southchard here
printed I found that apparently John Strong married a sister of John and Walter
Deane and so was a brother-in-law to both of them. When a year or two ago I
received the will of William Cogan of Southchard which follows this article, I
found that Cogan calls Ehanor, wife of Walter Deaue of New England, his
daughter. This led me to believe that the Miss Strong who married a Dean in
New England was Alice, wife of John Dean. It is, however, possible that she
was another wife of John Deane or another wife of Walter Deaue. — Editor.]

436 John Foster of Boston. [Oct.
SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF JOHN FOSTER, ESQ., OF
BOSTON.
By William R. Cutter, Esq., of "Woburn, Mass. ,
John Foster. Esq., of Boston, was born at Hudson, N. II., December
30, 1817, and died after a long illness at his residence, 25 Marlboro street,
Boston, April 9, 1897. He was a son of John and Lucy (Hastings) Fos-
ter. His parents soon removing to Warner, N. H., he resided there till
1836, when seeking a business start in Boston, he entered a wholesale gro-
cery store, and in 1839 commenced in this city, with Horace B. Taylor, a
grocery firm under the name of Foster & Taylor. Later this became a
firm for general merchandise, remaining unchanged till 1871, when it was
dissolved and the partners retired from active business, having both be-
come wealthy and interested in holding business real estate in Boston.
The retirement of this old firm from its general business after thirty-two
years' continuous existence, was the subject of favorable comment in the
various daily papers for the sagacious and successful management of its
affairs from the start. There was an honorable liberality and unflinching
energy about it that enabled it to sustain even unsuccessful enterprises, as
evidence the following :
''Foster and Taylor, owners under foreclosure of mortgages of a block
of houses on Tremont street, between Dedham and Canton streets, having
realized and secured to themselves the full amount of their advances of
seventy-nine thousand dollars, with interest and all charges, have presented
a surplus to the undersigned amounting to twenty-one thousand six hundred
and sixty dollars and iifiy-three cents, which covers in full our losses, for
labor and materials, by the failure of the builder of said houses.
Boston, June 1, 1867. Wm. Washburn and 12 others."
No other explanation is necessary than to say that the houses named
were built during the early years of the war, and they would have sold at
the time of the foreclosure for a sum sufficient to have amply secured the
owners for all advances and charges, yet through their large means and larger
hearts they persisted in holding them until they should realize a fair value
and accomplish the result above stated. This was not an exceptional act
of like character, even on a larger scale, by the same parties.
Thus two country lads, the senior from Warner, X. H., and the junior
from Newfane, Vt., who became room-mates by accident in "old father
Colburn's" boarding-house, on Howard street, Boston, in 1837, after two
years of city life, without backers, and comparatively without money,
formed a co-partnership which made both eminent Boston merchants.
Mr. Foster was an original stockholder and director in the Exchange
Bank, the main promoter of the project of levelling Fort Hill after the
great Boston fire of 1872, and the development of old Broad street into
large granite warehouses was due greatly to his energy and example. In
business and private life his manners were particularly affable. Current
charities and art interests found in him a liberal patron. He was inter-
ested also in the success and enlargement of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and gave a considerable contribution towards erecting one of
its recent buildings. He made, by will, public bequests amounting to
$121,000, of which $5,000 was to the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society; $30,000 to the city of Boston to erect a statue to the late Wil-
liam Ellery Channiug; $5,000 to the town of Hudson, N. H.; $3,000 to
.

the town of Warner, N. EL, and a similar amount to the Congregational
Society of that town ; So. 000 each to the Home for Aged Men, Home for
Aged Women, Warren Street Chapel, Massachusetts Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. Massachusetts Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, Boston Training School for Nurses connected with
the Massachusetts General Hospital, and Perkins Institution for the Blind;
and $10,000 each to the Boston Young Men's Christian Union, Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology, and Massachusetts General Hospital. Mr.
Foster was a life member of the New-Englaud Historic Genealogical So-
ciety, to which he was elected January 6, 1869.
He was a descendant in the seventh generation of Reginald Foster, of
Ipswich. For the particulars of his genealogy, see a notice of his half-
brother, Hon. Herman Foster, of Manchester, X. H., in the Register
for July, 1875. [20: 322.] Mr. Foster married, in 1843. Harriet San-
ford of Boston, who died in 1885. A son and daughter died iu 1851.
One daughter, Miss Fannie Foster, survives.

JACOB KUHN AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
By George Kvhn Clarke, LL.B.
Jacob1 Kuhx was born about 1712, and his native place is said to have
been Gochsheirn or Gochsen in Wiirttemberg. In 1882 his great great grand-
daughter, Mrs. Martha A. (Kuhn) Clarke, visited Gochsheim, which has
been in Baden since the time of Napoleon I., but was told that the public
records were burned in 1739, and could obtain no information as to her an-
cestors. She wrote to Gochsen, but learned nothing. In " Peters Hof"
near Heidelberg there is a monument to a Jacob Kuhn, but the writer has
no copy of the inscription.
Among the effects of the late George Wyser Kuhn was a certificate of
good character, dated at Carlsruhe in Baden in 1736, recommending one
John Jacob Kuhn and signed by Georg Jacob Finck " Ober meister " and
by two others. It is probable that this document was brought to America
by Jacob Kuhn. and it suggests the theory that his original name may have
been John Jacob.
Some years since I noticed the name of Abraham Kuhn in a list quoted
from the Massachusetts State Archives, and published in some historical
work or periodical, which had reference to Indian affairs in what is now
Maine about the period of the Revolution or shortly before. It seemed of
no special interest at the time, but subsequently a great granddaughter of
Jacob Kuhn, when she was upwards of ninety years of age, stated that in
her youth she had heard a story that Jacob had a brother named Abraham
Kuhn and a brother-in-law by the name of Abraham TVeddock, both of
whom were expelled from a German university for sedition, and came to
America together, and lived among the Indians in the wilderness of Maine.
The only reason for mentioning this improbable tradition, is the above
coincidence. Unfortunately many hours of patient research have failed to
re-discover the printed list.
Jacob Kuhn came to America in 1754, bringing with him his family, and
was drowned, together with his eldest son, near the mouth of the Kennebec
river, November 28, 17G3. It has been said that the place has since been
known as Kuhn's or Coon's Point, but I have never seen it indicated on a
map. Jacob was a staunch Lutheran and several of his religious books
are still preserved. The old German bible that he brought with him
was printed at Meiningen in 1710 and contains portraits of the duke, Er-
nest Ludwig, and of the duchess of that principality.
He married Margaret Weddock, who died in Boston September 24,
1792, aged eighty years, and was buried near the foot of the mall in the
graveyard on the Common, but her remains were later removed to the
family tomb near by, as were those of the four young children of her grand-
son Jacob Kuhn. She wrote her name Margarete. About 1770 she built
a house on Nassau, now Tremont Street, and in her will dated September
13, 1784, proved October 30, 1792, she gave this estate, which had been her
home, to her two sons, George of Boston, "mariner," and Jacob in the
county of Essex, " distiller."

442 Jacob Kuhn and his Descendants. [Oct.
The Children of Jacob1 and Margaret (Weddock) Kulm were :
1. Jorrs" Michael,2 b. in Germany and drowned at the same time as
his father ; unmarried. It has been said that his name was Abra-
ham, but this appears to be a confusion with his alleged uncle of
that name.
ii. Jacob,2 b. about 173S. Probably the Jacob Kuhn who died in
Newburyport, September 17, 1S0S, where he had resided for many
years. He married Mehitable who died, and he married second
December G, 1781, Anna Moody. He married third July 8, 1799,
Abigail Pike. Both of the two latter marriages were in Newbury-
port, and all of the children were born there.
The children were : 1 Margaret,* b. Sept. G, 1771 ; d. in Hudson,
N. H., Feb. 20, 1855; unm. 2 Sarah,3 b. Nov. 25, 1782. 3 Anna,3
b. Aug. 7, 1785; d. in Newburyport, May 31, 1858; uum. ±
Jacob,3 b. April 27, 1787 ; said to have died young. 5 John Michael,3
b. Sept. 15, 1789; d. in Cambridge, Mass., June 1G, 1861. He was
twice married, and had two sons, but neither of them left children.
6 Esther,3 b. 1791, d. in Boston Aug. 15, 18G7 ; unm. 7 Mary,3 b.
April 27, 1793. 8 Elizabeth,3 b. June 19, 1794 ; d. in Boston July 27,
1880; unm.
2. iii. Joiin George,2 b. in Konirrsbenj, probably the town of that name
in East Prussia, Aug. 1, 1740; d. in Boston Nov. 20, 1822. The
" fact that his elder brother's iirst name was also John seems singu-
lar, but apparently was the case.
iv. Mary,2 b. in America; said to have married in Boston, William
White, an Englishman, and to have left the country at the evacu-
ation of the town by the British. She is mentioned in her moth-
er's will.
2. JonN George- Kuhn (Jacob1). For many years he resided in the
house built by his mother, and in 1793 became, by purchase of his
brother's interest, the sole owner of the property. See Suffolk
Deeds, Lib. 177, fol. 11 G. After he came to Boston he ceased to
use his first name and was known as George Kuhn. In 1770 a
George and a Margret ** Culm " were petitioners to the General
Court in reference to a Lutheran Church (Massachusetts Archives,
Vol. 14, p. 5SG), but if they were identical with George aud Mar-
garet Kuhn it is the only known instance of either of the latter
spelling the surname in that way. The names to the petition are not
autographs. For many years George Kuhn attended Trinity Church
(Episcopal), aud all his children, except Jacob and George, were
baptized by the Rev. William Walter. Although called a " mar-
iner " in his mother's will, for a long period he kept a private school
and twenty years ago some of his former pupils were living. He
was tall, thin, and of light complexion. His private journal and
some of his letters and books are in existence. The New-England
Historic Genealogical Society has one of the latter, a religious
work in German. He was a man of high character and much re-
spected. His remains were placed in the family tomb on Friday,
November 22, 1822, where rest many of his descendants.
He married in 1761 Anna Kohler, born in "Engelstein, a Town in
Germany in Prussia in the Province of Natangen which lays 48
miles South East of Konigsberg," September 18, 1737. She died in
Boston November 4, 1821.
The children of Johu George2 and Anna (Kohler) Kuhn were all born
in Boston ; they were :

suffered from pulmonary weakness and in the summer of 1807 was
quite ill and weut to Lincolnville. now in Maine, to benefit his health
in the pine woods. His affectionate parents considered that he had
gone a great way from home, and that there was danger of his be-
ing lost in the wilderness. [Letter of August 9, 1807.] On
March 30, 1776, he was presented with a book by "his uncle John
geyer," and it is a problem why the boy called Mr. Geyer his uncle.
There was a German merchant in Boston named John vou Geyer.

JACOB AND HANNAH (LAWRENCE) SCHIEFFELIN
OF NEW YOEIv.
By Isaac J. Greexwood, A.M., of New York City.
The Schieffelin family trace their descent from the German family of
Scheiiffelin, of whom a branch, located at Nordlingen, in Suabia, migrated
early in the 16th century to Geneva.
About the year 1740, with the tide of hi? countrymen who sought new
lands and opportunities in the province of Pennsylvania, came Jacob1
Schieffelin of Weilheim-an-der-Teck, in the Duchy of Wiirtemberg, who
returning soon after to Germany died in 1746. The same year his young
son, of the same name, born Feb. 4. 1732, reached Philadelphia, and was
married, Sept. 16, 1756, at St. Michael's and Zion Church, to Regina Ritz-
hauer, his name on the record being Jacob2 " Scheuffelin." Johannes
Scheuffele, married at the same church Jan. 3, 1758, to Ann Catherine
Hefterich, may have been another member of the family.
Montreal passed into the hands of the English in 1760. and here Jacob*2
Schieffelin, the younger, soon after settled, and died June 22, 1769. having
lost during the same year two of his sons, Joseph3 on January 30th, and
Lawrence3 on June 5th. Besides these were the eldest, Jacob3 '* the 3d,"
born Aug. 24, 1757; Melchior,3 b. Aug. 16, 1759; Thomas.3"* b. in Mout-
treal February 5th, bapt. June 30, 1769: and Jonathan3, b. July 16. 1762.|
The last two were subsequently in business in the city of New York, at
No. 197 Pearl Street, corner of Maiden Lane; Jonathan dying a bachelor
about 1834, and Thomas leaving children. Their mother. Mrs. Regina
Schieffelin, was married in April. 1771, to Robert Gordon, who appears to
have been employed in the English commissariat and to have been paroled
as a prisoner of war early during the American Revolution. Of their
children, born and baptized in Montreal, the oldest was named Regina,
and the widow Gordon, living in 1811 at No. 35 Warren Street, New
York, with her son Thomas Schieffelin, died July 27, 1816, aged about 85
years.
The career of Jacob8 Schieffelin, "the third" (born Aug. 24, 1757),
prior to his locating in New York, we are enabled to trace principally from
documents on file iu the Canadian Archives. Nov. 12. 1774, was one
of the one hundred aud eighty-two signers at Quebec of the Petition
to the King, in remonstrance against suspension of the Habeas Cor-
pus Act and Trial by Jury.$ It seems quite possible that he partici-
pated in the conflict at Bennington, Aug. 16, 1777, since the Council
Minutes at Quebec, July 14, 1789, show that, on behalf of certain parties
acting for reduced officers who had served at Bennington, surveys were
ordered for Norman McLeod.§ Jacob Schieffelin, Joseph Moore, Baron
Frederic de Shaffaliski who had been an officer in the Rangers, and oth-
* Probably tbe same person who married, June 27, 1793, Hannah Kessler, in Christ
Church, Philadelphia.

ers. Can. Arch. Q. 43-1, 569. Next we hear of him as a young trader
at Detroit,* employed in the Indian department. The governor at Que-
bec, Gen. Haldimand, keenly aware that the expenses of the Indian'
department were excessive, and that a number of the officials were them-
selves traders, whence mi^ht arise an over indulgence to the natives, gave
orders not long after thafr no government officers should be allowed
" to be even concerned in trade." Can. -Arch., Q. 506. From the middle
of 1776 all vessels on the <rreat lakes had been armed and taken into the
service of the Crown. The head of this department at Niagara, in Octo-
ber, 1778, was Lieut.-Col. Mason Bolton of the 8th or King's Foot; an
efficient officer, who was lost when, in November, 1780, the sloop " Ontario,"
with all on board, foundered near Golden Hill, some thirty miles below
the Falls. These vessels were permitted, when .not otherwise employed,
to carry goods for the various traders, and from one of them, H. 31. sloop
"Angelica," running to Major Arent De Peyster's station at Michillimack-
inack, there was jettisoned, April 9, 1779, some merchandize belonging
to Schieffelin and Smith. A memorial to this effect was forwarded July 8,
1785, to the Secretary of State, Lord Sydney, and recommended by Lieut. -
Gov. Henry Hamilton of Quebec, formerly of Detroit. C. A., Q. 24-2, 497.
While stationed at the latter place Gov. Hamilton entertained the idea
of visiting the frontier posts and settlements with an armed force, and
pushing eastward as far as Fort Pitt (now Pittsburg. Pa.)- The scheme
was apparently favored, not only at headquarters (Quebec), but even by
the home government, and in August, 1778, M. Gillaume de La Mothe
(Wm. Lamothe) reached Detroit with letters and instructions from Gen.
Haldimand, wherein the proposed attack on Fort Pitt is alluded to, as well
as " the advantage of driving back the advanced settlers and destroying
their crops," and directing that arms for the militia be repaired as well as
possible. A lack of activity, however, on the part of the English, had
given the colonists a decided advantage, and the arrival of LaMothe was
soon followed by the news that Lieut.-Col. George R. Clark, with a Vir-
ginia commission and a small force of some one hundred and fifty men, had
already surprised Kaskaskia, or Fort Gage, on the Mississippi, and taken
the commander, Philip Rocheblave, prisoner; and had then seized Cahokia
to the north of it, and Vincennes about one hundred and fifty miles east-
ward on the Wabash. Having established his authority at Vincennes
(Fort Sackville), as Commander for Congress of the Eastern Illinois, and
leaving Capt. Leonard Helm in charge, Clark returned to Kaskaskia.
Having recovered from their apprehension, at Detroit, of an immediate
attack by the enemy. Gov. Hamilton. Capt. Richard B. Lernoult of the
8th, and several of the officers, were in heart enough, by the evening of
October 3d, to sing " the war song," and, having resolved to take the offen-
sive himself, the governor left the town four days later for Vincennes,
accompanied by a large body of Indians, the town militia, thirty of the 8th
Regiment under Lieut. Daniel Shrowd, and a company of volunteers which
had been raised by Wm. Lamothe as captain, with Jacob Schieffelin as
lieutenant. Lernoult was left in command of the garrison, and Major
John Hay, the Indian agent, followed with more natives. Gen. Haldimand
writes subsequently to a friend, that the expedition had set forth upon this
"second tour de Burgoyne * * * without orders." On the 16th they
* Dr. George Anthon, after of New York, had care of the sick at Detroit, under
Maj. Henry- lias-ett, 10th Regt., as early as 1772; surgeon's mate, July 1, 1778; sur-
geon, for the garrison and naval department, November, 1780.

drew up before Vincennes, which place, Capt. Helm, deserted by the local
militia and unable to make a defense, surrendered the followiug day. Teu
days later these same militia having sworn allegiance to the crown, those
of Detroit were allowed to returned homeward; all the spirits in town
were seized and the governor reports that he would " destroy all the billiard-
tables."
Towards the end of January (1779) information of events reached
Lieut.-Col. Clark, and a week had scarcely passed before he had left Kas-
kaskia with a small force for a wintry march through the wilderness.
Vincinnes was surrounded and surrendered, February 24th, after a short
defense; a valuable stock of military stores and eighty-one prisoners fell
into the hands of the Americans.
The prisoners were marched down to Virginia, which they reached early
in June; most of them with Major Hay being detained at Chesterfield,
while Gov. Hamilton, with seven or eight officers and eighteen men, were
at Williamsburgh, some twelve miles west from York Towu. It was not
till December, 1780, that the governor, having accepted his parole, was
allowed to proceed to New York and await his exchange.
Meanwhile Lieut. Schieffelin, having effected his escape from Williams-
burg, April 19th, had also arrived in New York towards the middle of July.
But here he was again a captive; this time, however, to the charms of a
fair young Quakeress, for the first we hear of him is from oue of the N. Y.
Marriage Bonds (xxix., 140), dated Aug. 12, 1780, where the approaching
marriage of " Jacob Schieffelin. Lieutenant in a company of his Majesty's
army called the Detroit Volunteers," with "Hannah Lawrence of the city
of New York, spinster, aged above 21 years," is annouuced. He is one
of the bondsmen for himself and the other party is " Adam Risch, late of
Philadelphia, but at present of the city of New York, physician." They
were married by the Rev. Mr. Waltars, on Sunday evening, August 13th.*
Their honeymoon was drawing to a close when, on September 9th, Sir
Henry Clinton writes to Gen. Haldiniaud. mentioning the arrival of Schieffe-
lin and Philip Rocheblave, who had escaped from the rebels; that they
were entirely destitute, and that he had advanced them each one hundred
guineas, for which they were to account on their arrival in Canada.
An account of the pay due Schieffelin is dated Detroit, Sept. 24, and a
warrant for the same, as Lieut, of a Provincial corps, was issued Oct. 4.
Seventeen days later, Schieffelin sends a memorial to Gen. Haldimand
stating that he had been taken prisoner with Hamilton ; mentions the
expense effecting his escape and the loss of his mercantile business, and
prays his excellency's protection. C. A., Haldimand Collec, B. 216, p. 24.
Oct. 27th the general writes Major De Peyster, who had succeeded! a
year previous to the Governorship of Detroit, that Schieffelin had escaped
from Williamsburg and would return to Detroit; "he is to continue as lieu-
tenant, and to be employed in the Indian Department if needed," B. 122,
pp. 557, 567, 573; and on Dec. 12, Hamilton writes from New York that
the lieutenant had set off for Quebec.
Lamothe and Schieffelin present a memorial, Sept. 15, 1783, praying
that the Detroit Volunteers receive the same provision as is given in other
corps. One month later a letter was written, from the River's Mouth, by
Capt. G. Bird to Capt. Robert Matthews, secretary of Gen. Haldimand,
stating that he and other officers of the Rangers, &c.-, had intended a

settlement near Isle Bois Blanc, on laud obtained of the Indians, who were
to meet in council; that Schieffelin had heard of it aud surreptitiously
obtained a grant, which he had sent to Gov. Hamilton for confirmation;
that McKee had written to Sir John Johnson on the subject, and this letter
might be shown to the General. The deed to Schieffelin, registered at
Detroit, and signed by the chiefs of the Ottawas, was for a tract of land
seven miles square, fronting on the south side of Detroit river, near its
mouth, and directly opposite Isle au Bois Blanc. Towards the close of
June, 1784, De Peyster writing from Niagara to Haldimand, sends a copy
of the deed "which the Indians say he (Schieffelin) had obtained from
some of their chiefs improperly. C. A., B. 103, pp. 335, 445; B. 105,
p. 375.
June 24, 1784, Quebec. Capt. Matthews writes Lieut.-Gov. Hay at
Detroit, that Capts. La Motte, Chabert and McGregor, Lieut. Schielfe-
lin, and all officers serving at Detroit as provincials, are to be discon-
tinued from the 24th of the present month, the date when the provincial
troops in the upper country are to be disbanded. July 8th. Matthews
writes Major Campbell, desiring him to stop Lieut. Schieffelin. who had
obtained a pass for the purpose, from leaving the province, and directs that,
as the lieutenant might be wanted, he should await further orders at Mont-
real; on the 19th permission was issued for him to proceed on his intended
journey.
In July, 1789. in 1792, and in 1803, he filed applications for grants of
the crown lands in Canada, and in 1793, taking up his permaneut residence
in New York, a partnership was formed with his brother-in-law, John B.
Lawrence, and the well-known mercantile house of " Schieffelin." whole-
sale druggists, which continues to the present day, was then founded.
As the ancestry of Mrs. Hannah (Lawrence) Schieffelin is very tho-
roughly given in " the Thomas Book," recently published in New York, a
few remarks will suffice.
William1 Lawrence, one of the patentees, in 1644, of Hempstead, L. I.,
Schout of Flushing, &c, 1673, settled at Lawrence's or Tew's Neck, and
died 1680, aged 57. He had children by two marriages, his second wife
being Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Smith of Nessequack or Sraithtown.
She married secondly, April, 1681, Capt. Philip Carteret, who had been
governor of East New Jersey, under his late kinsman Sir George Car-
teret, Lord Proprietor of the province. Gov. Carteret died in December,
1682, s.p., and his widow married thirdly, in 1685, Col. Richard Townley
of Elizabeth, N. J., and was evidently the mother of Mr. Charles Town-
ley who died Sept. 2, 1756, aged 70, and was buried in St. John's (Epis-
copal) Church at Elizabeth, beside his wife Abigail (born 1693); and the
latter, as well as Col. Effingham Townley's wife Sarah, are said to have
been daughters of James Evetts, a vestryman of Trinity Church, New
York.
Col. Richard Townley had come to America, it is said, in 1683, in the
suite of the Governor of Virginia, Francis Howard, Lord Effingham of Surry;
hence the introduction of the name Effingham into the Townley family.
He was a member of the council under Governors Sloughter, Fletcher and
Belmont, but, residing constantly in East Jersey, had not attended any of
the meetings; he was of the New Jersey Assembly in 1703; of Lord
Cornburv's council in that province, in 1705, and continued to hold the
position until his death in April, 1711. After Sir George Carteret's death
the province was sold to an association of twelve London citizens, most of

whom being connected with the Society of Friends, Quaker rule and influence
became established. As late as Nov. 15, 1705, the Assembly of New
Jersey, which had met at Amboy, resolved on the 18th that no business
should be transacted until the House was full; Lord Cornbury, writing on
the 22d to the Board of Trade, states as his opinion that " it was not a full
House of Members that they wanted, but a full House of Quakers/'
Brought up in such an atmosphere, Joseph2 Lawrence, born about 1668,
(the eldest son of Mrs. Elizabeth Townley), who married in 1690, Mary
Towuley, doubtless a daughter of his step-father, appears to have been,
when he removed to Flushing. L. I., a Quaker, as were his children and
grand-children after him. He died 1759, and of his children, Elizabeth,8

James and Elizabeth Burling of New York. He was a bolter of N. Y.,
and adm. to freedom of city, March 4, 1745-G; his name, with that of his
brother John, is on the City List of Quakers, May 19, 1755, iu the office
of the Town Clerk, taken with reference to the act "for regulating the Mili-
tia of the Colony.

HENRY ANDREWS OF TAUNTON.
By Hon. Josiah H. Drummoxd, of Portland, Me.
Tn tracing the genealogy of Richard Williams of Taunton, it became
necessary to trace one line of the family of Henry Andrews, one of the
founders of Taunton; to do this I was obliged to commence with him and
follow his line down; what I have gathered seems worth preserving.
Much difficulty was experienced in this work in consequence of there
having been another family of the same name in Taunton with which that
of Henry has been confounded, — a fact of which I was not aware until in-
formed of it by the late Captain John W. D. Hall, who had experienced
the same difficulty, but had finally discovered the truth. The author of
the History of Norton also had credited to Henry's family, a branch of the
other, which came from the John Andrews family of Boston.*
1. Henry1 Andrews, of Taunton, was included in the list of freemen
from Cohannet, dated March 7, 1G3G; was one of the purchasers of
Taunton in 1G37; was admitted freeman December 4, IG08; was
one of the deputies in 1689, when the town was first organized, and
also in 1G43, 1644, 1G47 and 1G49; and built the first meeting
house in Taunton, in payment for which (in whole or in part) the
town conveyed to him '• the calf pasture" in 1647.

454 Henry Andrews of Taunton. [Oct.
According to the Plymouth record (printed), his will was dated
March 13, 1652, and the inventory of his estate returned February
10, 1652; which of these dates is erroneous, I have not been able
to determine. From his will we find that his children were:
2. i. Henry.2
3. ii. Mary.
iii. Abigail, whom I have not been able to trace.
4. iv. Sarah.
The will of his widow, Mary Andrews, dated February 14. 1653,
mentions her late husband. Henry Andrews; son Henry; daughter
Abigail ; " little daughter Sarah " ; daughter Mary Hedge ; and son-
in-law William Hedge.
2. Henry2 Andrews (Henry1), served on a coroner's jury in 1651; was
named in the list of those who took the Oath of Fidelity in 1657;
in 1 659, he and John Macomber were authorized to erect a saw-
mill on Mill River, " if it be not found hurtful to the grist mill";
was one of the grantees of the North Purchase in 1668; and one
of the grantees of the South Purchase in 1672; and was returned
among the " Heads of Families " in 1675.
It has been said that he was a soldier in " King Philip's war,"
but the statement may have grown out of the fact that he was
killed by the Indians in the spring of 1676, according to Gov.
Winslow's letter, while at work on his farm in Taunton.* The
exact date of his death has not been preserved. He acknowledged
a deed the "fifth of the first month, 1676." He also joined with
his wife in a deed dated April 7, 1676, which his wife (Mary)
acknowledged "ye 5th of 6th mouth 1676," "in behalf of herself
and her husband." (Plym. Rec. Bk. 5, p. 285.) His death must
have occurred soon after the date of this deed.
The inventory of his estate was returned November 29, 1676.
John Richmond said in a deposition given October 9, 1697, that he
left u his wife a widow and many small childreu." If Gov. Wins-
low was accurate in his statement that the four persons killed that
spring left thirty "orphaned children," Andrews must have left
seven; but when his estate was settled, May 28, 1677, one third
was decreed to his widow, a double share of the balance to his son
Henry, and one share to each of five daughters, not named. (Plym.
Probl Rec, Vol. 3, Part II., p. <uQ.)
The inventory included farm of 208 acres; "lauds at the town,
22 acres"; interest in the North Purchase; two lots on south side
of Three Mile River (one on east side of farm and the other on
south-west side) ; and interest in undivided lands.
The date of birth of Henry,2 and of his marriage, and the maiden
Dame of his wife (except that her given name was Mary) are not
known. The papers on record. in the settlement of his estate show
that his widow died before 1707, and indicate quite certainly that
she died in the latter part of 1693, or in 1694.
He was married as early as 1659, as in the division of lands of
that year he is allowed for three " heads," indicating that Ins
family then consisted of himself, wife and one child.
♦His name is not found in any of the lists given by Mr. Bodge, in his History.

The children who survived at the time of the order for the settle-
ment of his estate, were:
5. i. Hannah,3 b. about 1659.
6. ii. Henry, b. about 1(364.
7. iii. Grace, b. about 1666.
8. iv. Mary.
9. v. Abigail.
10. vi. Mehitable.
In 1634, by deed recorded in 1717, Mary Andrews, "widow of
Henry," "and in behalf of son Henrv," sells land to Shadrach
Wilbore.
Henry Andrews, aud Mary his mother, June 1, 1685-6. convey
to Joseph Williams one lift y third of the grant in the North Purchase.
Henry Andrews, son and heir of Henry, with Mary his mother,
and Mary his wife, convey land to John Dean, July 21, 1603.
3. Mary2 Andrews (Hen ryx), married first, William Hodges; second,
Peter Pitts. By the former she had two sons, Henry and John,
and by the latter six children. See Hodges Genealogy, pp. 71-73.
4. Sarah- Andrews (Henry1) married April 1, 1664, Jared Talbut.
Their children were:
i. Jared3 Talbut, b. March 20, 1666-7.
ii. Mary Talbut, b. July 21, 1670.
iii. Elizabeth Talbut, b. Dec. 15, 1671.
iv. Samuel Talbut, b. Feb. 29, 1675.
v. Josiaii Talbut, b. Oct. 21, 1678.
vi. Nathanlel Talbut, b. Feb. 21, 1679-80.
5. Hannah3 Andrews (Henry,2 Henry1) was born in Taunton about
1659. She married April 7, 1679, Isaac Negus of Taunton, aud
afterwards of Swansey. He died November 27,1700. She mar-
ried March 23, 1703-4, William Corbett of Swansey. She had
children by her first husband, but I have been able to ascertain the
name of ouly one, Isaac.4
William aud Hannah Corbett receipt February 12, 1706-7, for
her portion of the estate of her father, Henry Andrews, from Henry
Andrews, "apparent heir"; and mention her mother, Mary,
deceased.
Isaac Negus, aud Hannah Corbett, wife of William, and widow
of Isaac Negus, senior, granted laud to John Hodges of Norton,
July 11, 1710.
1 am indebted to the late Edgar H. Reed, Esq., of Taunton, for
the discovery of the name of this daughter, and for her family
history.
6. Henry3 Andrews (Henry,2 Henry1) was born about 1664. In 1684,
his mother made a deed " in behalf of herself and her son Henrv,"
and January 1, 1685-6, he joined with his mother in a deed; this
6hows that he became of age between those dates. The vote of
the town May 25, 1680, confirming the rights of owners of lands,
included " henry Andrews on his father's rights." He was a mem-
ber of the first squadron designated in 1632 to carry arms to church
in turn. He was included in the list of " Heads of Families, when
Mr. Danforth first came to town," say in 1687; and also in the list
of 1709.

456 Henry Andreics of Taunton, [Oct.
He married February 17, 1685—6, Mary Deane, who has not been
identified, but who possibly was a daughter of Walter. She died
the next year, and he married July 4, 1688, Mary Williams, daugh-
ter of Samuel and granddaughter of Richard.
He died in 1733, between May 30 and September 18, as shown
by deeds to which he and his son Henry were parties. Henry
"Senior" made a deed June 28, 1733, and Henry "Junior" May
30, 1733, and the latter made another deed September 18, 1733,
which he signs without the "Junior"; and it is recited in a deed
dated in 1736, that Henry "Senior" and Henry "Junior" had
then both died.
From a comparison of deeds, it is found that his wTife Mary died
between 1718 and 1726. She joined with her husband in a deed
August 30, 1718, and in 1726 he distributed his real estate without
her joining and without mention of her.
He settled this estate in his life time, and there was no adminis-
tration; the names of his children have been obtained only by
examination of deeds, as follows :
i. Yet Mercy,4 undoubtedly by his first wife. She m. Benjamin
Elliott.
ii. Henry, d. about 1735, unm.
iii. Josiaii.

The second deed to Robinson was of two and one half acres lying
in Taunton " at a place called Higher Squabity " in easterly part
of Taunton. B. 41, pp. 117.
Henry Andrews and Mary, his wife, July 25, 1717, "in con-
sideration of the love and afrection I have unto my daughter, Yet
Mercy, commonly called Mercy," * * * " and in full for her portion
of my real and personal estate" convey to her certain real estate;
in witness whereof " I, said Henry Andrews and wife Mary, in testi-
mony to her free consent to this my act and deed, and in renuncia-

Henry Andrews, Senior, conveyed to Henry Andrews, Jr., August
6, 1726, " the lot of laud oti which 1 now dwell and my dwelling
house thereon, containing about eighty acres " on Taunton Great
River, Trout Brook and Littleworth Brook. Also, one third of
my share in the saw mill on '* Littleworth Brook." B. 25, p. 295.

Henry Audrevrs, Junior, conveys to Wilbore, May 30, 1733, and
the same Henry Andrews, omitting " Junior," to Josiah Andrews,
September 18, 1733. The father had then died.
Yet Mercy,* child of first wife, born about 1636, not long before
her mother's death, married Benjamin Elliott. He died in 1772,
and she soon after. His will, dated May 27, 1765, proved Decem-
ber 20, 1772 (Vol. 22, p. 326), mentions wife, and sons Benjamin,
Nathaniel and George; daughter Elizabeth; and granddaughter
Mary Elliott. Division of estate of Yet Mercy Elliott of Taunton,
late deceased, "given to Yet Mercy Andrews, since Y"et Mercy
Elliott," April 25, 1774 (B. 23, p. 221), among sons Benjamin and
George, and heirs of Nathaniel, late deceased. Elizabeth is not
mentioned, and she must have died without issue.
Benjamin Elliott and Y'et Mercy, his wife, conveyed land to
Ebenezer Robinson, August 27, 1725. B. 16, p. 258.
Josiah* married January 27, 1736-7, Hannah Richmond. He
survived her and married, second, Mercy Elliott. He died January
14, 1776, and Mercy February 21, 1786, aged 74. The will of
Mercy Elliott, dated June 27, 1754, mentions "Mercy Andrews,
wife of Josiah." The will of Josiah4 mentions wife Mercy; sons
Thomas and Josiah (who married Mary Padelford) ; "and daugh-
ter Hannah, wife of Samuel White."
John* I have been utterly unable to trace. Widow Elizabeth
Andrews died May 12, 1804, aged 76, perhaps John's.
Ebenezer* witnessed a deed iu 1720, and the will of Ebenezer
Williams, September 8, 1727. He conveyed land in Hanover to
his son Ebenezer, April 3, 1773, by deed witnessed by David
Andrews, another son ; perhaps Jedediah Andrews who served in
Continental army was also his son. He died in 1785. Ebenezer,
Jr., married Sarah Elliott, June 26, 1770, and lived in Hanover.
Nathaniel* had son Nathaniel, Jr., but beyond this I have learned
nothing.
Mary* by deed dated February 25, 1736 (B. 26, p. 205), con-
veyed to her brother John Andrews for five hundred pounds all the
rights " which I have or ought to have in the estate of my honored
father, Henry Andrews, died siezed of." According to Gen. God-
frey's notes, a sister of Josiah Andrews died at Squabetty in May,
1772; undoubtedly this Mary.
Grace* married Seth Clark and had two sons, James and Seth.
Ebenezer and Josiah Andrews, brothers, and Grace Clark, sister of
Henry Andrews, deceased, conveyed land to Benjamin Elliott, April
25, 1737 (B. 35, p. 424). James Clark of Taunton and Seth Clark
of Middleboro' conveyed to same, October 20, 1753 (B. 40, p. 1^9),
land of " our honored father, Seth Clark "; and Grace Clark, widow,
joined in the deed to release dower.
Either John, Nathaniel or Ebenezer was the father of Henry
Andrews, who died iu Raynham in 1775, leaving a numerous family.
It seems that it ought to be practicable to trace these three brothers,
but extensive examinations of records have failed to discover more
than a few scraps.

10, 174-4 ( B. 9. p. 403), to Henry Andrews of Freetown, their
homestead in Raynham situated on the highway to Titicut; in this
connection compare deeds, Book 43, p. 33 (1757), and B. 56, p.
474 (1775).
Henry Andrews of Raynham died October 19, 1775, in the fifty-
seventh year of his age; so he was born in 1718 or 1719. He
married October 27, 174G, Mehitable Shelley of Raynham. She
died May 13, 1763, in the fortieth year of her age. and he married,
in 17G4. Elizabeth Sumner, who survived him. Between 1748 and
1776 four deeds are recorded, executed by "Henry Andrews,
Senior." His will, dated June 20, 1775, proved November 13,
1775 (vol. 24, p. 8), mentions wife Elizabeth; sou Silas (under
fifteen); daughter Elizabeth; son Reuben, to whom he had given
a deed of gift ; daughters Pliebe and Keziah; sons Rufus, George,
John, Zephaniah, Levi and Israel.
7. Grace3 Andrews (Henri/,- Henry1) was born in Taunton about 1666.
She married June 26, 1685, Abel Burt. She died September 19,
1709, aged forty-three. He died in June, 1711. Children, born in
Taunton, (as shown by his wTill dated May 31, 1711, and proved
June 30, 1711):
i. Setii4 Burt.
ii. Abel Burt.
iii. Joseph Burt.
iv. Josiah Burt.
v. Jotham Burt.
vi. Prischxa Burt.
vil. Miriam Burt.
Abel and Grace Burt receipt, March 28, 1707, to Henry Andrews
"apparent heir" in full for her legacy in estate of Henry Andrews,
deceased.
8. Mary8 Andrews (Henry,2 Henry1) married, June 2Gy 1685, Joseph3
Richmond (John,2 John1), born December 8, 1663. They conveyed
land to Henry Andrews, July 19, 1701. They receipted for her
share in her father's estate, March 28, 1707. He and a son
Christopher were in the Canada Expedition in 171 1. They conveyed
their homestead on the road from Taunton to Middleboro' to their
sons Joseph and Henry, he acknowledging the deed July 13,
1724, and she March 11, 1726. An instrument, dated February
14, 1737, purporting to be the will of Mary (Andrews) Richmond,
though never probated, is said to have been preserved, from which
it appears that their children, born iu Ivliddleboro', were :
i. Joseph4 Richmond.
ii. Margaret Richmond.
iii. Mary Richmond.
iv. Abigail Richmond.
v. John Richmond.
vi. Christopher Richmond.
vii. Henry Richmond.
viii. Josiaii Richmond.
ix. William Richmond.

1897.] Henry Andrews of Taunton, 459
These were apparently all living at the date of the will except
"William, whose two daughters (not named) are mentioned in it.
See Richmond Genealogy.
9. Abigail8 Andrews {Henry? Henry1) married. July 5, 1683, Joshua
Tisdale, son of the John killed by the Indians June 27, 1675. He
was born in Taunton about 1646. He died in 172S, and she in
1741.
Children, born in Freetown :
i. Joshua4 Tisdale, b. April 1, 1689.
ii. Samuel Tisdale, b. March 3, 1691.
iii. Elizabeth Tisdale. b. June 2, 1G93.
iv. Hepzibeth Tisdale, b. March 4. 1695.
v. Abigail Tisdale, b. April 11, 1697.
yi. Henry Tisdale. b. May 16. 1699.
▼ii. Mercy Tisdale, b. 1701; perhaps Mary.
viii. Barnabas Tisdale. b. 1703.
Lx. Ephradi Tisdale, b. 1707. See Hodge's Genealogy.
They receipted for the legacy from the estate of Henry Audrews,
her father, July 15, 1701.
10. Meiiitable3 AxdPvEWS (Henry? Henry1) married, December 20,
1694, Samuel3 Richmond (John.2 John1), born September 3, 1668.
He survived her and married second, Elizabeth (King) Hall, widow
of John Hall, and daughter of Philip aud Judith (Whitman) King.
He died in 1736. aud his second wife June 16, 1757.
Children, the first two born in Taunton, and the others in
Middleboro' :
i. Samuel4 Richmond, b. Oct. 16, 169.5.
ii. Oliver Richmond, b. Aug. 25, 1697.
iii. Thomas Richmond, b. Sept. 10, 1700.
iv. Hannah Richmond, b. Aug. 29, 1702.
v. Lydia Richmond, b. May 17, 1701.
vi. Silas Richmond.
vii. Meiiitable Richmond.
The last two are, perhaps, children of the second wife.
They receipted for the legacy from the estate of her father, Henry-
Andrews.
"A deed dated March 10, 1700-1. describes him as of Middleboro'.
Will, dated June 11, 1736, probated July 20, 1736 (vol. 3, p.
375), mentions wife Elizabeth; sons Thomas, Silas, Samuel and
Oliver; and daughters Hannah Booth, "Lidiah" Thomas aud
Meiiitable Lawton; cousin (nephew) Joseph Richmond to assist
executor.
Widow Elizabeth released her rights to Thomas, August 5, 1736.
John King and Joseph Richmond witnesses. It seems that each
party had a relative present, probably as advisors.
I am in hopes that the publication of this article will lead to tracing the
families of the descendants in the fourth generation. I was informed in
1891 by Capt. John \V. D. Hall that the location of the old estate of this
family was known; that Gen. Cromwell Washburn's homestead was a part
of it, and that, in 1891, it was occupied by George P. King, Benjamin L.
Bosworth and John Andrews. He understood, however, that the latter
was not a descendant of Henry.1

1897.] Contribution to the History of Londonderry. 46'
CONTRIBUTION TO THE HISTORY OF LONDON-
DERRY, N. H.
By Hon. Ezra S. Steakxs, A.M., of Concord, X. H.
Ox the tenth day of November, 1737, at Portsmouth in the pro-
vince of New Hampshire, two prominent men of the times debated
and concluded a contract which incidentally has led to the preserva-
tion of the material for an interesting chapter in the annals of Lon-
donderry. The instrument was styled a charter party, and by the
terms of the written agreement a certain ship was leased for a voy-
age from the north of Ireland to New England. The contracting
parties were Joshua Pierce, Junior, a merchant of ample fortune
and liberal education of the town of Portsmouth, and Robert Boyes,
a native of Ireland and for many years an enterprising and honored
resident of Londonderry. By the terms of the written agreement
made in duplicate and sealed and signed on the date above written,
Mr. Pierce agrees to send the good ship Lime of 130 tons burden,
John Cate, master, to the coast of Ireland. The ship was to sail
from Portsmouth on or before the fifteenth day of January, 1738,
and all the profits of the outward voyage were reserved by Mr.
Pierce. "When unladed the ship was to be delivered to Mr.
Boyes either at Port Rush or Greencastle as he might elect. In
consideration of £160 Irish money, Mr. Boyes was permitted to
lade the ship "with goods' effects and passengers,*' and then proceed
to some port in New England.
Here the contract ends. Had the homeward passage been fortu-
nate we never should have learned of this ancient document nor of
the incidents of the voyage. The good ship Lime behaved, it will
be seen, very badly, and many misfortunes were encountered by
land and by sea. For these reasons Mr. Pierce and Mr. Boyes
could not agree concerning the rental of the ship, and unfortunately,
no doubt, for them, but fortunately for us, a most bitter and hotly
contested lawsuit ensued. After the lapse of one hundred and
sixty years, through the thoughtful custody of the court, we are
permitted to read this ancient contract and so much of the evidence
as was reduced to writing in the form of depositions. The papers
reveal the fact that Mr. Boyes had made earlier and similar voyages
to Ireland for the purpose of conducting a considerable number of
waiting emigrants to the thrifty colony of Londonderry. In this
voyage Samuel Todd, then a merchant of Londonderry and subse-
quently a resident of Boston, and John Mitchell, a neighbor of Mr.
Boyes and the father of John Mitchell who made the celebrated
map of the American colonies, were equal partners with Mr. Boyes

in the enterprise. The three men were engaged in collecting pas-
sengers and freight in Ireland, and all of them were upon the ship
on the homeward voyage.
On the 26th day of July, 1738, the good ship Lime with 123
emigrants sailed from the harbor of Port Rush, bound for the port
of Boston. Three days after sailing the ship was leaking so badly
they made for land and put in at the harbor of Killybegs. Twelve
days were consumed in making repairs. They again set sail and
aofain were obliged to make for land, and found safetv in the har-
bor of Galway. The ship was again and more thoroughly repaired,
but while detained at Galway, John Cate, the master, died of the
small pox, and Matthias Haines, the only mate, was so grievously
sick of the same malady he was unable to sail on the homeward
voyage. While at Killybegs and Galway such were the delays and
misfortunes twenty- five passengers deserted the ship. The con-
tractors employed Gabriel Black for master, and one of them, Sam-
uel Todd, was mate on the homeward voyage. They finally sailed
from Galway on the nineteenth of September, eight weeks after
sailing from Port Bush, and arrived in the harbor of Boston No-
vember 16, 1738.
In a perusal of the papers filed in the case of Pierce vs. Boyes et
als., the reader fails not to note that Meshech Weare was foreman
of the jury, and that the opposing counsel, "learned in the law,"
were William Parker for the plaintiff, and Xicholas Perryman and
Matthew Livermore for the defendants. In the Inferior Court of
Common Pleas the case was heard before the Honorables Richard
Waldron, Ephraim Dennet and Nathaniel Rogers. Judge Gerrish
for some reason was absent. The case on appeal was before the
Superior Court of Judicature several terms, and in the mean time
Nicholas Gilman retired from the bench. The court of final hear-
ing consisted of the Honorables Henry Sherburne, Thomas Millet,
Elias Huske and Samuel Gilman.
But the reader soon loses sight of the law suit in the story of the
voyage as narrated in the depositions and in the lists of names of
the emigrants who came to New England in the good ship Lime in
the year 1738.
The facts revealed in this old and musty file of court papers are
instructive. In this manner was Londonderry founded and made
populous. The emigration to America from 1718 to 1750 was
largely from the north of Ireland. Londonderry was a wilderness
a century after the planting of Dover, Portsmouth, Exeter and
Hampton, but so rapid was the growth of the town that in 1763,
having parted with Windham, a town of average size, it was ex-
ceeded in wealth and population only by Portsmouth. The worthy
founders of Londonderry not only invited their countrymen to set-
tle among them but, as it appears, they even went after them. The
papers are of exceeding interest in that they preserve the names of
•

many who came to New England under the direction of Boyes,
Todd and Mitchel in the summer of 1738.
We are permitted to read the depositions of fourteen persons who
were passengers on the good but leaky ship Lime. The names of
five other passengers are incidentally named and the names of the
twenty-five who left the ship at Killybegs or Galway are also given.
The passengers were: Thomas Jameson, Nathaniel Furber,
George Marshall, William Lues, William Cox, Alexander Xesmith,
Abraham Weir, Archibald Fullerton, xVlexander Caldwell, William
Dickey and his wife, David Griffin, Robert Griffin, John Arbuckle,
George Robinson, Thomas Gait, George Gait, John Ball, Mary
Smith.
The names of those who sailed from Port Rush and left the ship
were: John Dods, his wife and daughter; Thomas Boyes, his
wife, one son and three daughters ; John McConihe, his wife and
daughter ; Patrick Doroeh, Nancy Crawford, Robert Simpson,
John Car, Ann Car, William Car, Mark Car, John Car Jr., Mary
Reside, Jean Car, Catrina Taggart, Patrick McKillup, Charles
McXiel.
The following year Thomas Boyes was in Londonderry, and others
in this list are familiar names in the annals of New Hampshire. It
is safe to infer that all of the twenty-five who left the ship after sail-
ing from Port Rush came to America without much loss of time.
They were of a sturdy, determined race. The place to seek a
Scotch Irishman is not where he last was found but where, on that
occasion, he intended to go.
The witnesses were testifying to the same end, and as a matter
of course the depositions are much alike. All are agreed concern-
ing dates and all assert that they sailed from Port Rush with 123
passengers and that 25 subsequently left the ship. Xo one witness
names over 23, but other witnesses give additional names until ex-
actly 25 are named. The term servant refers to those who were
articled to work out the passage money after their arrival in Amer-
ica.
One deposition is transcribed in full :
The Deposition of Messrs John Arbuckle, Thomas Gait & George Gait,
all of full age, Testify & Say that whereas in the month of June last 1738
the Ship Lime. Capt. John Gate, Commander, arrived at Port Rush in the
Kingdom of Ireland, hired or Chartered by Messrs lioyes & others as they
Informed them, and having the Character of their good usuage to Passeu-
gers in Sui.dry voyages before Inclined us to Come & agree with them for
Our Passage altho' we heard almost a General Report that Said Ship was
more than ordinary Leakey while She lay at Port Rush aforesaid, upon
which as we understood Sundry People were discouraged from agreeing
with Said affreightors who Intended To Transport themselves Said Year
for New England however we paid our passage to Said Affreighters
Entered on board & Sailed from Said Port Rush July the 26th day 1738,
having on board about one hundred & twenty three passengers & Servants.

ARTHUR SAVAGE, A LOYALIST.
By Miss ArGrsTA Isabella Appletox, of Winchester, Mass.
Arthur Savage, second son of Arthur and Faith (Phillips)
Savage, was born October 9, 1731. He was brother of Samuel
Phillips Savage, a noted patriot.
The following account of Arthur Savage is given in Sabine's
Loyalists of the American Revolution, volume 2, page 2b§ :
In 1755, he was appointed comptroller of customs at Falmouth [now
Portland, Maine], and removed to that town. After the people began to
resist the officers of the revenue he was often absent, when he confided the
duties of his station to Thomas Child, the only Whig officer of the customs
at Falmouth. In 1771, he was mobbed, and soon after returned to Boston.
At the time of this outrage, the collector was absent in England. Mr.
Savage, as tilling his place, had ordered the revenue cutter of the Crown to
seize a vessel of Mr. Tyng's for a violation of the revenue laws, which was
probably the cause of the proceeding. The comptroller was proscribed
and banished by the Act of 1778. He had abandoned the country two
years previously, having accompanied the British army at the evacuation of
Boston, and embarked at Halifax for England in the ship "Aston Hall"
in July, 1776.
In 1789. or the year after, he was in London, and gave to Rev. William
Montague, who was then rector of Christ Church, Boston, a leaden ball, with
the following account of it: k* On the morning of the ltith June, 1776," said
Mr. Savage, *• I, with a number of Royalists and British officers, among
w horn was General Burgoyne, went over from Boston to Charlestown to view
the battlefield. Among the fallen, we found the body of Dr. Joseph Warren, ^
with whom 1 had been personally acquainted. When he fell, he fell across
a rail. This ball I took from his body, and as I never shall visit Boston
again, 1 will give it to you to take to America, where it will be valuable as
a relic of your Revolution." The ball is preserved in the library of the
New-England Historic Genealogical Society.
Mr. Arthur Savage died March 21, 1801, aged 70. His first
wife died just twenty years before, March 21, 1781. She was the
•

mother of a son named Arthur, who was in business in Jamaica,
and a daughter Faith, afterwards called Fidelia, who, in 1793,
married the Rev. Richard Munkhouse, made vicar of Wakefield,
Yorkshire, in 1805. Mr. Savage married a second time and left
a widow, without other children. In a letter, dated Charlotte St.,
Portland Place (London), August 12, 1794, Mr. Savage wrote
to a friend in Cambridge, Mass. :
Many of our countrymen have arrived here at very advanced ages. I
have reckoned nearly thirty above 70 years old. A very remarkable four
appeared together lately in one box at Drury Lane Theatre, whose ages
together amounted, it is said, to Three hundred and forty years (Mr. Lloyd
and wife and Dr. Brinton ami ditto).
The King happened to be there, and, being a great observer, looked for
a long time at them, and after enquiries sent an atteudant to the box-keeper
to enquire whether he knew "those venerable persons." Mr. Lloyd and lady
were known to him, and His Majesty's curiosity was satisfied. Mr. Lloyd's
appearance is venerable indeed, with hair as white as snow, retains a face
almost without a wrinkle, and bordering almost at the antediluvian period,
walks the streets of London in health, and sat with his companions throut
the whole play.
London has arrived at that period of splendor, luxury and dissipation
which marked some of the antient states of Greece and Rome, its extent is
amazing, it lies nine miles long upon the river and has added to its build-
ings above ten thousand houses in a very few years. I am daily creeping
farther and farther into the fields, as many places in which I have lived ad-
joining them are now streets filled with inhabitants, and the air of great
cities I am by no means fond of.
In another letter, dated " Salisbury Place No. 4, New Road
London, July 20th 1796," Mr. Savage wrote to the same friend:
I have several little curiosities which I have collected many years since,
upon the hope I then had of once more seeing my native clime, that hope
is now done away, and I should be happy even with my trifled [trifling]
mite to add to any useful collection in America.
In Curwen's Journal and Letters, Mr. Savage is frequently men-
tioned, and many Americans travelling in Fngland were cordially
received at his house. A photograph (from a miniature in relief)
of Mr. Savage is in possession of the Society.
THOMAS HUTCHINSON,
THE LAST COLONIAL GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS.
By Harriet Emily Tuell, Ph.D. of Milton, Mass.
Few men in this country have enjoyed the respect of their fellow-
citizens in greater measure than did Thomas Hutchinson during the
parly part of his life, and few in later years have suffered greater

obloqur. By birth and early training he was an aristocrat. Mem-
bers of his family had for two generations been members of the
council of Massachusetts, which with the governor formed the con-
servative part of the legislative body. The future governor was
o-iven the best education the country could atford at the time. He
early developed that fondness for the study of history which con-
tributed so much to his pleasure and reputation in after life, and
found delight in a thorough mastery of the constitutional history
of Great Britain and its dependencies. At the age of twenty-six he
be^an his public career as one of the selectmen of Boston, and the
same year he was chosen one of the representatives of the town to
the General Court.
His most important work as a representative was connected with
the currency cmestion, which was then as little understood and almost
as generally discussed, as at the present time. The business of the
province was suffering from the ill effects of a depreciating paper
currency, but it was only after several years of struggle against
popular prejudice that Hutchinson was able to obtain a law for the
exclusive use of silver as legal tender. The result was so satis-
factory, and Hutchinson's sagacity so apparent, that many years after
John Adams said,* "If I was the witch of Endor, I would wake
the ghost of Hutchinson and give him absolute power over the cur-
rency of the United States and every part of it, provided always
that he should meddle with nothing but currency. As little as I
revere his memory, I will acknowledge that he understood the subject
of coin and commerce better than any man I ever knew in this
country." This from the mouth of an enemy indicates the early
recognition of his ability, while the large number of offices, many
of them elective, which he held is sufficient evidence of uncommon
esteem. Besides the offices mentioned he held at various times the
positions of member of the council, judge of probate, justice of the
common pleas for the county of Suffolk, lieutenant-governor, chief
justice, and finally governor of the province. In addition he served
the colony as special agent in England in 1740, and as commissioner
in most of the important negotiations to which the Province of Massa-
chusetts was a party during the greater part of his public life.
Such was the official career of a man who came to be regarded
by many Americans as the type of political corruption, and the
representative of all that they detested in the policy of the British
government. The town of Barre owes its present name to a peti-
tion, sent by its inhabitants to the General Court, that it might no
longer bear "the disgraceful name of Hutchinson." The American
patriots of the revolutionary period could find in his conduct no sign
of any motive higher than ambition and avarice. He was in their
eyes a man devoid of either honesty or patriotism. It was the belief
of many of his contemporaries that, with Bernard and others, he had

deliberately formed a plan to overthrow the constitutional rights
of the colonists, because they stood in the way of the introduction
of an arbitrary government which they might adminster for their
own advantage. Hutchinson and his friends seemed to be "barter-
ing away the liberties of their native country for posts and negotiating
for salaries and pensions extorted from the people,'' while with the
utmost duplicity they were pretending to be ardent lovers of their
country.* Such sentiments of these met with popular approbation
in America until long after the Revolution. Indeed it is only within
a comparatively recent period that much doubt has arisen as to
their justice.
From 17 GO, the year of Bernard's accession to the governor's
chair, we can trace the growth of the widening breach between
Hutchinson and an increasing number of his fellow-citizens. Even
at the beginning of Bernard's administration there is said to have
been a distinction of long standing between the staunch upholders
of the royal power and those of more democratic tendencies. To
the former class naturally belonged those who held, or who hoped
to hold, the provincial offices under the control of the English govern-
ment, and prominent among them was Lieutenant-Governor Hutch-
inson.
Soon after, without any solicitation on his part, as he affirms, he
received the appointment to the post of chief justice to which he
attributed much of his subsequent unpopularity. According to the
story afterward circulated in the province, James Otis's father had
expected an appointment to the bench of the superior court and the
son had remarked: "If Gov. Bernard does not appoint my father
judge of the superior court I will kindle such a fire in the province
as shall singe the governor though I myself perish in the flames. "f
It was therefore concluded that much of his later zeal iu opposition
to the government was due to resentment on account of this appoint-
ment. Whether the story is true or not, Otis, in attempting to
defend himself against the accusation, showed such evident personal
dislike for Hutchinson and so much soreness on the subject of his
appointment as chief justice, as to lead one to suspect that his
avowed " honest principles " may have been mixed, consciously or
unconsciously, with some personal feeling. % At any rate, soon after
Hutchinson's appointment, Otis became prominent as one of the
leaders in the opposition to the government and to Hutchinson
especially.
This enmity on the part of Otis undoubtedly contributed much to
Hutchinson's growing unpopularity in the years which immediately
followed. During his first year as chief justice, Hutchinson pre-
sided at the session of the court, when Otis, who had resigned as

advocate-general, made his famous argument against the legality of
the writs of assistance. These writs, which were general warrants
granted to the customs officers by the superior court, authorized
them to enter any house on suspicion of its containing contraband
goods, and institute a search for them. They were open not only
to the objections common to all warrants, but were obnoxious to the
colonists as a part of a system of commercial restriction by which
the British government restrained their trade. Notwithstanding
Otis's eloquence, the question was postponed, largely through the
influence of Hutchinson. The next term, after the chief justice
had informed himself as to the practice in England, it was decided
that the writs were legal, and he continued the issue of them.
Though he has been much condemned for this decision, it is evident
that the arguments in favor of the legality of the writs seemed con-
elusive, both to Hutchinson and to other legal minds. In 1765,
the governor of Massachusetts and the council of which the elder
Otis and James Bowdoin were members, apparently acquiesced in
Hutchinson's opinion that the court could legally grant the writs,
and in our time, Judge Horace Gray of the United States Supreme
Court has expressed the opinion that they could hardly have been
refused by the provincial court at that time.*
The disagreement between Hutchinson and Otis was destined not
to end with the writs of assistance. In 1762, a bill to regulate the
currency of the province, which was strongly advocated by Otis
and the house of representatives, failed of the necessary assent from
the council under the leadership of Hutchinson. Both parties sought
to gain the popular ear through the newspapers. Hutchinson's
efforts have been described as r* temperate and perspicuous, "f but
Otis became once more ff a flame of fire " and did not scruple to
scorch Hutchinson with his sarcasm whenever opportunity offered.
He laid special stress on the numerous offices held by him, as at
this time he was lieutenant-governor, chief justice, member of the
council, and judge of probate. This multiplication of offices Otis
stigmatized as a monoply prejudicial to political liberty .\ The dan-
ger which lav in allowing the lieutenant-governor and justices of the
superior court to sit in the council was diligently talked up in public
and private meetings and a bill was introduced into the house of
representatives prohibiting such a combination of offices. Although
this bill failed of passage, Otis gained the day on the currency ques-
tion. The assembly finally accepted the bill which he advocated.
On various other questions Otis and the house came into conflict
with Hutchinson and the council. During these differences the lat-
ter was for the first time in three years given the extra compensa-
tion which it had been customary for the assembly to grant to the
chief justice, but it was voted by a majority of one or two only.

Minot observes that this opposition must have been due to his "sup-
posed political sentiments," for no fault could be found in general
with his performance of the duties of the office.*
The degree to which Hutchinson still retained influence in spite
of the attacks of Otis and the strength of the opposition against
him is shown bv the events which followed. Of the recent changes
made by the government, the enforcement of the act of trade of 1 Too
was particularly trying to the Americans. By this act a high tariff
was laid on sugar and molasses imported from the French West
India Islands. When notice was given in 1768 that this act, which
had been renewed from time to time, was to be altered and strictly
enforced, the Massachusetts assembly thought it necessary to appoint
a special agent in England to look after the interests of the colonists
in this crisis. Hutchinson, owing to his thorough knowledge of
provincial affairs, was at first chosen by a large majority as the most
suitable representative, but he was afterwards excused from the
service. The General Court seems nevertheless to have entrusted
him with the duty of drawing up instructions to the agent. But it
is noticeable that these were much more moderate in tone than those
sent the following session when Hutchinson was absent.
From that time on he had more and more difficulty in holding
popular opinion to a course of moderation which seemed to him
most likely to gain the day. When, after the passage of the act
of 1763, it was agreed to send a petition to the House of Commons
in reference to the policy of parliamentary taxation, the address
composed by Hutchinson was finally accepted, but only after a hard
struggle. He insisted on calling the former freedom of the colonists
"a privilege" rather than "a right." Since those in authority had
determined to tax the colonies, he thought it better to adopt a more
politic line of argument than to question the right of parliament
to impose a tax. This mild statement of grievances, however, was
not satisfactory to the more independent spirits in the opposition
party. When the petitions from Virginia and New York came to
hand, the bolder tone in which they were written made Hutchinson's
more moderate petition seem quite inadequate to the occasion. Bit-
ter complaint was afterwards made that he had restrained free
expression of the sentiment of the General Court.
The passage of the Stamp Act made him the victim of mob vio-
lence. A report spread abroad that he had instigated the measure
by secret messages to the government in England. One evening a
mob surrounded his house and demanded a public declaration that
he had not written in favor of this act. This, he says, f' was an
indignity to which I would not submit and therefore 1 made no
answer. "f Though this mob dispersed without doing serious injury,
the house was entered within a few days by another which eom-

pletely demolished the furniture and destroyed many public and
private papers. The chief justice was even obliged to borrow cloth-
ing for his appearance in court the next day.
Both his public declaration and his private correspondence agree
in showing that this instance of mob justice was based on a mis-
taken idea of his attitude. On the day after the riot, he said in an
address before the superior court : " I call my Maker to witness,
that I never, in Xew England or Old, in Great Britain or America,
neither directly nor indirectly, was aiding, assisting or supporting,
or in the least promoting or encouraging what is commonly called
the Stamp Act, but on the contrary did all in my power, and strove
as much as in me lay, to prevent it." AVe have also the evidence
of some of Hutchinson's contemporaries that he had expressed disap-
proval of the Stamp Act. One of them, Richard Jackson, wrote :*
tf Nothing can be more unjust than the treatment of the worthy
and unfortunate lieutenant-governor ; nothing can be greater proof
of the blunders of the rabble. I know that he has urged the
weightiest arguments against the obnoxious acts, and that they have
been used at home from his materials."
Although the House of Representatives showed its disapproval
of the work of the mob by voting Hutchinson an indemnity for his
losses, his efforts to enforce the Stamp Act evoked general resent-
ment. Since the opposition of the people made it impossible to
make use of the stamps, he refused to allow any business to be done
in which they were required, either in the probate office or in the
court of the county in which he was judge. He had held the office
of judge of probate for fourteen years, but now the pressure brought
to bear upon him was so great that he resigned the position. In the
same year he lost his seat in the council.
In July of 17b 7, the passage of the so-called Tounsend acts
widened the breach between the colonies and the mother coun-
try, and between the supporters of their respective claims in
America. Most obnoxious to the colonists were the provisions
laying small duties on various articles, among them paper, glass,
tea, and painters' colors. At about the same time commissioners
of customs resident in America were appointed. The Boston mer-
chants showed their resentment by holding meetings and subscribing
to the famous non-importation agreements, which were renewed and
more strictly enforced when all the duties except that on tea had
been repealed. To Hutchinson, who after Bernard's departure in
1769 was acting-governor of the province, these "assemblies of the
mixed multitude proscribing all who do not come into their measures
and taking upon themselves powers which no authority known by
the constitution ought to exercise " were so dangerous to good govern-
ment as to be little less than criminal, f The current of popular

opinion was set so strongly against him, however, that by the aid
of the peculiarly persuasive arguments which are at the command
of a determined populace, the merchants were able to gain the
cooperation of even the staunchest upholders of parliament.
As Hutchinson's course in regard to the revenue acts brought him
into such disfavor with the popular party, it is but fair in attempting
to determine his motives to take into account the testimony of his
unpublished writings. During the years of this controversy, he
devoted much space in his letter books to the discussion of it in its
various phases. The arguments brought forward by the party in
opposition are carefully stated, and. Hutchinson's reasons for differ-
ing from them are elaborated with an evident desire to be quite fair
in spite of the annoyance to which he had been subjected. lie did
not sympathize with the popular clamor for "no taxation without
representation." It seemed to him that the people might as well
say, "No representation, no legislation." He did not see why the
men who had submitted so long to navigation acts and trade laws
should object so seriously to the 'revenue acts. "Why it i< all
humor, and the submission to a restraint upon trade which deprives
them of a large profit they might make, and the refusal to submit to
an insignificant duty because it is called a revenue can be attributed
to nothing else."*
The popular theory that such taxation was illegal because it was
inconsistent with the provisions of Magna Charta and the Bill of
Rights seemed to him a dangerous doctrine. He assumed that all
parties agreed that in every government there must be one supreme
authority. Under the English constitution parliament exercised
this authority. It was to his mind obviously fatal to effective gov-
ernment if the subjects came to feel at liberty to obey the laws only
when they approved of them. "Whatever might be the proper course
to pursue in case the supreme authority should do what it had no
right to do, he was sure that forcible resistance to the execution
of the law was not the proper remedy. He would not admit that
the colonies were by their charters and commissions entitled to
freedom from parliamentary taxation. His view of parliamentary
supremacy left no room to doubt the right of parliament to tax the
colonies. "You allow that it is possible for parliament to pass acts
which may abridge British subjects of what are called natural rights,
and I am willing to go farther and will suppose that in some cases
it is reasonable and even necessarv, even though such rights should
have been strengthened and confirmed by the most solemn sanctions
and engagements. The rights of parts and individuals must be
given up when the safety of the whole shall depend upon it."f He
looked with decided disapproval nevertheless on the recent policy
of parliament as undeniably inexpedient.

480 Thomas Hutchinson. [Oct.
Since he regarded colonial representation in parliament as imprac-
ticable, he thought the method best calculated to promote the return
of peace and good order was to show the Americans that parliament
could not be induced to withdraw its claims of authority. Then he
hoped, if they saw that they need not fear any abuse of power, the
factious opposition would gradually subside. With this end in view,
he used every effort to enforce law and order in the province, and pro-
posed various disciplinary measures. lie even welcomed the coming
of the British troops to Boston, for he felt that the province was
" upon the brink of ruin."* Finding it impossible by the civil author-
ity to enforce the laws, he hoped that with the aid of the troops he
could restore peace and good order. " I would lay down all public
business rather than contribute to any degree of oppression upon the
country, but I am well assured that I can in no way so much con-
tribute to the preventing oppression as by opposing the violent spirit
which prevails in the colonies. v| He admitted that the introduction of
the troops was ?r a desperate remedy," but contended " the disease is
desperate also.',i It was short-sighted policy, perhaps, but not neces-
sarily inconsistent with his declaration " I am as much against arbi-
trary government as any person living. "§
In 1770, he learned that he would probably be appointed to suc-
ceed Bernard as governor of Massachusetts. His short experience
as acting governor had shown him that the " father of the people "
in this province must govern a very unruly set of children, whose
constantly decreasing reverence for authority led them to pay less and
less heed to his admonitions, and sometimes made disciplinary meas-
ures seem imperative. The other officers of the government, and in
many cases the other branches of the legislature, gave at least a tacit
consent to the acts of the party in opposition. The points at issue
were so fundamental to all the functions of government that any
little point of controversy was magnified into an importance far
greater than it would otherwise have possessed. The last governor,
Bernard, had found it a losing struggle, and had been obliged to
leave the province amid a chorus of execrations from his many
enemies. Influenced by these considerations, Hutchinson at first
asked to be excused from the troublesome honor, but afterwards
changed his mind and received his commission in March, 1771.
It was somewhat in his favor that, unlike his predecessors, he had
been born and educated in the province over which he was to pre-
side. The various congratulatory addresses which he received on his
appointment, although he regarded them as largely a matter of form,
yet indicate an appreciation of his past services to the people.
The year 1770 had witnessed many conflicts between Hutchinson
and the people in which he brought upon himself still greater odium

than that which he had incurred by the enforcement of the revenue
acts. In this year began the long and tedious controversy as to the
extent to which the governor should be bound by royal or ministerial
instructions. Hutchinson as acting governor had received instruc-
tions from Lord Hillsborough, the secretary of state, to prorogue the
General Court to the fourteenth of March, to meet at Cambridge
instead of at Boston which was the usual meeting place, unless
there were better reasons for meeting in Boston than those given
for the removal. Hutchinson at first thought that as the decision
was left to his discretion, he would not incur the enmity of the
assembly by an act which he knew would be distasteful to them.
Three days later, he had on further deliberation concluded that these
reasons would not be considered sufficient and therefore the ques-
tion, although nominally left to his discretion, was practically settled
for him by the form of his instructions.* He accordingly sent word
to the assembly that his instructions made it necessary for him to
meet them in Cambridge.
He was not mistaken in the temper with which this measure would
be received by the people. In the words of a writer in the Boston
Gazette,^ it was for the assembly t- an indignity too humiliating to
be mentioned without the keenest resentment."' The Council and
House of Representatives entered upon an exchange of addresses
with the governor, in which both sides discussed the constitutional
theories involved. The assembly declared that the governor had no
right in this case to follow his instructions, because by the charter,
a compact between king and people, he was given the power to
adjourn, prorogue, and dissolve the assembly, and that the right to
prorogue necessarily involved the time and place of meeting. If a
right thus specified could be withdrawn by the mere force of a royal
instruction, then the charter was of no use. Moreover they insisted
that such a proceeding was contrary to the law of the province,
according to which a special form of writ was used to summon the
representatives to the assembly. By this writ the General Court
was " appointed to be convened, held, and kept at the town
house in Boston, upon the day of the next ensuing.
"The conclusion was that the town house in Boston was thereby
established by law as the only place for holding the assembly, and
a change could only be made by the legislative body of the province.
Hutchinson replied to these arguments in a series of speeches and
46rnessages so able as to lead one to question the axiom laid down in
the Boston Gazette : " While every fool is not a tory, every tory is a
fool." He refused to admit that in obeying his instructions he was
acting at variance with the charter. He firmly believed in the right
of the king to instruct the governor of the province, and insisted
that he was in duty bound to follow his own construction of the

482 Thomas Hutchinson. [Oct.
charter and laws, rather than that of any one else. As to the writ
calling a meeting of the General Court, he thought the words tf town
of Boston " a matter of form, and that they should be treated as
such.
Both parties felt that it was not merely a question of the proper
meeting place for the General Court, but the far broader question
of the extent and limits of royal authority in the province. Hutch-
inson said at the time that his motive was to show the people his
attitude toward royal instructions, and to help himself in resisting
any similar attempt that might be made in the future. "While he
admitted that the wisli the people ought generally to be consulted in
deciding on a meeting place for their representatives, he said :* " But
the Council and House soon put the controversy or stress of their
arguments upon such points that if I had yielded, I must have given
up for just the same reasons every other part of the Prerogative."
The tone of his public speeches was very moderate, but in his
private letters he occasionally gave vent to some impatience. For
instance, he wrote August 2U, 1770, "You certainly think right
when you think Boston people are run mad. The frenzy was not
higher when they banished my pious great-grandmother, when they
hanged the Quakers, when they afterwards hanged the poor inno-
cent witches, when they were carried away with a land bank, nor
when they all turned New Lights, than the political frenzy has been
for a twelvemonth past. If we were not mad, I have no doubt we
might enjoy all that liberty which can consist with a state of govern-
ment."
Other controversies turning on the same question arose because
Hutchinson, in accordance with his instructions, substituted British
regulars for provincial troops at Castle William and refused his
assent to various bills passed by the assembly. In the eyes of the
whigs this was a culpable infringement on the charter rights of the
province. "I leave him to his own conscience (if he has one)" said
a writer of the time, "but I believe that has loner been o-iyen to the
keeping of Lord 11 — sb— h." Hutchinson however felt that he was
acting both in accordance with the charter and for the best interests
of the people.
Still another paper war was brought on by the decision that the salary
of the governor should be provided for by the king, rather than by
annual grant from the assembly in the province, as had hitherto been
the custom. The assembly asserted that both by the authority of the
charter and of precedent tor the last eighty years, the general court
had the exclusive right of judging what was an adequate support for
the government and of determining how this provision should be
made. They further maintained that this power of assigning the
governor's salary was intended to be used as a check upon his move-
ments. They requested Hutchinson to apply to the king for orders
* Letter of Oct. 15, 1770, Mass. Archive?.

which would permit him to receive his support from the assembly.
This he refused to do, although he sent the resolves to the king, and
in his reply took occasion to say that it was no more contrary to the
provisions of the charter for the crown to provide for the salary of
the governor of the province than to aid in its defence. When it was
rumored that not only the governor, but the judges of the supreme
court were no longer to be dependent on an annual grant of the as-
sembly, but were to be allowed salaries from the royal government,
still greater indignation was aroused, and later an attempt was made
to impeach chief justice Oliver when he declared his intention of ac-
cepting the salary, but it was unsuccessful, owing to the opposition
of the governor.
In 1773, Hutchinson took occasion in a series of speeches to the
assembly to define his position on the burning question of the true
relation of the colonies to the mother country. The political doc-
trines which he advocated were the same that are shown by his letter-
hooks to have guided him throughout. Believing thoroughly that
the supremacy of parliament over the colonies should be recognized,
he would yet have this authority exercised but seldom and only when
necessary for the general welfare of the empire. The answers of the
assembly, however, met with a readier reception in the minds of the
people.
This debate was soon followed by an outburst of fresh resentment
against Hutchinson which must be largely attributed to the machina-
tions of his enemies, for the letters which were the ostensible cause,
furnish no new revelation of his character or opinions. These fa-
mous letters, which had been written by Hutchinson and others to
Mr. Whately, a member of the British parliament, had in some way
come into possession of Benjamin Franklin, who sent them to the
speaker of the Mas •achusetts> house of representatives. They were
not at first made common property, but were shown to a few persons.
A few weeks before the summer session of 1773, it was noised about
that letters had arrived, disclosing a plan on the part of some men in
high office to undermine the liberty of the country for their own prof-
it. In June the house of representatives, after hearing the letters,
published a report that their tendency and design was rf to overthrow
the constitution of the government and introduce arbitrary power into
the province." Both council and house found in the letters indica-
tions that he had wished for military aid in enforcing the revenue
acts, and had instigated the government to send troops. From the
fact that the governor's salary was to be paid out of the revenue, the
house drew the inference that he was partly responsible for the reve-
nue acts. It was easy then to reach the conclusion that he had been
working" to further his own interests at the expense of his country.
The foundation for the first accusation lay in the letters in which
Hutchinson set forth the difficulties of the commissioners of customs
owing to the enmitv shown them by the sons of liberty, and the indif-
•

fefence of the council. One part in particular was quoted to uphold
tins accusation : ff With all the aid you can give to the officers of the
crown, they will have enough to do to maintain the authority- of gov-
ernment and to carry the laws into execution. If they are discoun-
tenanced or fail of support, they must submit to everything the pres-
ent opposers of government think fit to require of them." Hutch-
inson in his history remarks that as the letter was written August 10,
and two of the regiments arrived in Boston in September and the
other two came from Ireland in November, the orders must have
been written before the letters were received. Be further said in
answer to the resolves of the council : " There was not a word in the
letter indicating the need of military force, unless to desire that the
officers of the crown may not be discountenanced, neglected or fail
of support, can be strained to intimate it." If he was not sorry to
see the troops in Boston, there is at least no evidence here that he
was the cause of their coming. The conclusions ns to his motives
drawn by the house of representatives were based rather on their own
interpretation of the letters than on any positive evidence which they
afforded. The letters presented a very moderate view of the recent
occurrences in the province as they must have appeared to anyone of
his avowed principles. In reply to the charge that a comparison of
these letters with others showed a conspiracy on the part of high of-
ficials in the province to improve their fortunes at the expense of their
fellow-citizens, Hutchinson states that he never knew the contents of
any letters except his own, or knew that any such letters Avere writ-
ten until he heard of their return to America.
The resolves of the council were more specific than those of the
house and received more attention from Hutchinson's pen.* One let-
ter of his contained an account of the action of the Massachusetts
council at the coming of the troops. The council had insisted that
the soldiers must according to law be put in the provincial barracks,
a construction of an act of parliament which to Hutchinson seemed
absurd.. The freedom with which he expressed this view in the letter
led to a resolve of the council that lie had ff unjustly censured the
council" for their conduct in the matter. This was evidently one of
the cases of disagreement mentioned by Hutchinson as due merely to
a difference of opinion between himself and the council. They also
took exception to a letter in which he expressed his disapprobation of
the manner in which certain members of the council petitioned par-
liament. The letter, they said, had a tendency to alter the constitu-
tion, and by misrepresenting the petitioners to defeat the purpose of
the petition. Here it must be confessed that, as Hutchinson sug-
gested, the members of the council seem to have themselves indulged
in misrepresentation, since, wlule he criticised only the methods of
the petitioners, he was charged witli "unjustly censuring a number of
the council for petitioning parliament."

Other resolves have reference to ■■• letter in which he i- said to
have encouraged more severe measures on the part of parliament.
His reasons for wishing to see the government -i* 1* *| »t n police of con-
sistenl firmness at least were expressed in the following parajgraphs*
"This is most certainly :i crisis. I really wish there mav no1 have
been the least degree of severity beyond what is nbsoluteh necessary
to maintain, I think I may say to vou the dependence %% 1 1 i < - 1 » n colony
ought to Lave upon the parent state: but if no men urea liall have
been taken to secure this dependence, or nothing more than some
declaratory acts and resolves, it is all over with us. The friends of
government will be utterly disheartened and the friends of anarchy
will be afraid of notliing, be it ever so extravagant." In the same
letter occurred n few sentences which occasioned intense excitement :
"We expect to be in suspense three or (our weeks and then to hear
our fete. I never think of the measures necessary for the peace and
good order of the colonics without pain. There must bean abridge-
ment of what ace called English Liberties. I relieve myself by con-
sidering that in a remove from a state of nature to the most perfect
state of government there must be .'i great restraint of natural liberty.
I doubt whether it i- possible to project a system of government in
which n colony three thousand miles distant -hall enjoy all the liberty
of the parent state. I am certain 1 have never yet seen the pro-
jection. 1 wish the good of the colony when I wish to see some
further restraint of liberty rather than the connection with the parent
state should be broken, for 1 am sure such a breach must prove the
ruin of the colony." Speaking of the resolves later, Hutchinson
said:| "1 have one comfort, that there are not the least grounds for
any one charge they bring against me. The council say in one of
their resolves that 1 have declared there must be an abridgement
of English liberties. They might just as well have charged David
with having said 'There is no Ixod.' Winn I wrote those letter-',
some of my correspondents proposed a representation of the colonies
in parliament, and said that without it they could not enjoy the
liberties of Englishmen. This caused me to write as I did. It gave
nie pain to think the colonies could not enjoy every liberty which the
kingdom could, hut I did not see how it, could be helped. A repre-
sentation was not practicable and I have never seen any other scheme
which satisfied me. No candid man will intend any other meaning.
I wrote all SUeh letters CUrrente cu}<tni<>. If I had supposed they
would he printed I should have, expressed myself more carefully."
There was really nothing in these letters which he had not -aid in
his puhlie speeches and messages. The indignation which they

cited by vague rumors and then by the publication of the- resolves
before the letter- themselves were; made puhlie. ]n this Hutclun on

The other letters written by him during his last years in America
show nothing but kindly feeling for the land of his birth. In the
quarrel with the mother country he thought that the body of the
people were blinded to then true interest and misled by a few leaders.
Xo terms seemed too strong to express his detestation of the conduct
of these men, and his only hope for the return of good order lay in
punishing them and depriving them of all power. Perhaps his
motives in this correspondence may be best shown by quoting from a
letter which he wrote during his exile in England.* "I cannot recol-
lect a correspondence of seven years. I am sure that I never wrote
anything which I thought would hurt the real interest of my country
or be injurious to individuals. As to the first, I have been in some
instances so cautious as to suppress upon revisal letters which I had
no doubt of when writing, and which upon further consideration I
thought should not have been suppressed, and as to the latter, I
never indulged a secret wish to do them any other hurt than was
necessary to put a stop to such of their measures as must prove hurt-
ful and fatal to the country. As to some particular persons, not
many I am sure, it is possible a fresh sense of the most cruel wrongs
they had done me may have caused more acrimony than was prudent
in some of my expressions. Candour it may be necessary for me to
ask every one to afford me in such a case. My principles of govern-
ment I have never concealed. If it be considered that my public
character brought me under peculiar obligations to support what,
according to those principles, is the established constitution of govern-
ment in the colonies, and to counteract and effectually provide against
all attempts to subvert or innovate upon this constitution, I am con-
fident that nothing will appear in my letters which I could have been
justified in omitting. I never could admit a denial of the right of
parliament in all cases, but I wished a forbearance of the exercise in
acts of taxation ; therefore it will not appear that I have encouraged
euch acts, and if ever I have thought of any particular instance,
it has been as a substitute in place of another deemed to be more
grievous and exceptionable. I have seen and felt the ill effects of a
council annually elected by the people, but I saw exceptions to every
mode proposed for constituting a council, and I foresaw a convulsion
from the change, and therefore I never proposed this alteration of the
charter, although I have frequently been wrote to upon it, and have
corresponded upon the convenience and inconvenience, the objections
against it and the reasons to support it, and have admitted or denied
them so far as they appeared to be sufficient for what they were ad-
vanced or otherwise, but finally have doubted and been blamed for
throwing blocks in the way." The assembly did not stop with re-
solves, but drew up a petition for the removal of Hutchinson and
the lieutenant-governor, and the following year it was presented to
the privy council by Franklin.

The feeling against the governor was intensified at the coming of
the tea ships to Boston. The citizens of that and other towns, in
a mass-meeting, demanded that the tea be sent back to England,
and the owner of the first ship was sent to ask the governor for a
pass which would enable the ship to leave the harbor unmolested.
As this could only be legally granted after the vessel had been cleared
at the custom house, Hutchinson refused the pass and thereby brought
upon himself the charge of having caused the Boston tea party
which followed the announcement of his decision. He afterward
explained his action in the following words :* 'fI have taken a solemn
oath as governor to do everything in my power that the Acts of
Trade may be carried into execution. Now to have granted a pass
to a vessel which I knew had not been cleared at the custom house
would have been such a direct countenancing and encouraging the
violation of the Acts of Trade that I believe you would have altered
your opinion of me, and seen me ever after in an unfavorable
light. I am sure if I could have preserved the property that is
destroyed or could have complied with the general desire of the people
consistent with the duty which my station requires, I would most
readily have done it." Early in 1774, finding his position in Mas-
sachusetts more and more untenable, he went to England, tem-
porarily as he supposed, but he was never able to return.
Unable as he was to justify to himself the revolt of his country-
men, when in England he used every effort to heal the breach be-
tween the 'colonies and the mother country. He felt deeply the
hardships suffered by Americans in consequence of the coercive
acts of 1774, particularly the Boston Port Bill, by which the ports
of Boston were closed to all commerce, and his efforts to obtain a
mitigation of their severity were untiring. He says that in his inter-
view with the king he made it his object to represent matters so as
to obtain relief for the town on the easiest terms. Pie also mentions
efforts with influential men in the same direction. After the war
was finally decided upon, he took no part in any plans for hostilities,
and even went out of London for a time that he might not be
chargeable with any such measures. Many of his letters bear evi-
dence of the homesick longing with which he looked back to his
native land. When he writes of his journey to Bath, he says he
went to keep up his spirits, but found no diversion or entertainment
80 agreeable to him as those he could find at home. He ends his
description of the life at Kew with "I had rather live at Milton than
at Kew."f The many fine residences which he visited in England
did not attract him, for he wrote :J "I assure you I would rather die
in a little country farm house in New England than in the best
nobleman's seat in old England." It was a great trial to him to
realize that he had lost the favorable opinion of his former neighbors,

and ?•(.) far from caring only for the approbation of the king and minis-
try, which he certainly had gained, he constantly bewailed his mis-
fortune, as he said he wished for the esteem of none 80 much as of
his own countrymen.
After a careful examination of Hutchinson's career and his written
comments upon it, one is impelled with Mr. John Fiske, to pro-
nounce him "a grand old tory." However much one may regret
his shortsightedness, one must admire his conscientious and courage-
ous defence of what'he conceived to be the right. If he was some-
times influenced by a regard for his own interests, and few men are
not, yet his life as a whole bears witness to his sincerity when he
said :* " New England is wrote upon my heart in as strong characters
as Calais was upon Queen Mary's, but there is this difference, she
lost the one by her own folly ; I am not sensible I could have kept
the other except in a way which would have caused me more pain
from reflection than 1 now feel from the loss of it. This considera-
tion and the hope, which I am determined not to part with, that I
shall return, and that my enemies will be forced to own that I have
at least always meant the interest of my country, supports my
spirits."
THE MOORE FAMILIES OF LONDONDERRY, N. II.
By Hon. EZRA S. Stearns, A.M., of Concord, N. II. f
Ix the early settlement of Londonderry, New Hampshire, there
were nine emigrants by the name of Moore. They were from the
North of Ireland, of Scotch extraction, and all were rigid Presby-
terians. The local histories of this state contain many erroneous
statements of the early families of Londonderry, and the Moore
families have not escaped the common misfortunes of their asso-
ciates. A very few of the early births, marriages and deaths are
found in the records of the town ; the early church records are lost
and tradition often is too improbable to be entertained. In this ar-
ticle 1 have omitted many statements which probably are correct
but are not sustained by contemporaneous records. The charter of
Londonderry is dated June 21, 1722. In the schedule of proprie-
tors appear the names of Samuel Moore, John Moore and James
Moore. In the distribution of the lands of the township they re-
ceived their proportion and will be designated as Charter Samuel,
* Letter to his brother, Xov. 1, 1774, Diary and Letters, Vol. L, p. 283.
f Mr. Stearns, in a not.- which accompanied this article, says : " Herewith I hand you
a record of the early Moore families of Londonderry. I have been collecting these
facts ten years. Many references to the Moore families, now in print, are erroneous.
There were so many of the same name, and town records were so me;jgre, the; careless
writer jumped at conclusions. This article refutes many traditions and corrects
many printed statements."

Charter John and Charter James Moore. In the years immediately
following there came to Londonderry, John Moore, who settled on
the English range of lots ; John Moore, who lived several years in
the township and subsequently removed to Chester ; Hugh Moore,
William Moore, James Moore, and Mary Moore with her son John,
who became known as Captain John Moore. It is certain that
Charter John was the son of Charter Samuel Moore, and beyond
this fact I am unable to prove any kinship among these worthy men
of ancient Londonderry. Generally in the first generation and fre-
quently in the second the name is written Moor, but I have followed
the modern orthography of the name. In a record of the descend-
ants of Charter John Moore in Smith's History of Peterborough is
found the following traditionary story :
" In the infamous massacre of Glencoe, John Moore, the progenitor of
the race that came to this town, was shot dead in his garden. He was die
father of two daughters, whose lives were saved by a servant who took
care of them and safely removed them from the country. (Due of them,
Beatrix Moore, married Col. Andrew Todd, afterwards so famous in our
colonial history. Mrs. Moore, finding her husband dead, after covering his
body with a sheet, fled to a malt-kiln for safety, and during that night was
delivered of a son, the John Moore who was one of the first settlers of
Londonderry. She subsequently escaped safely, and took up her residence
in or near Londonderry, Ireland, and here fortuitously met with her two
daughters. In 1718 John Moore, her son, was among the emigrants in the
' five ships that came to America that year."
The tradition is repeated in Cochrane's History of Antrim, and is
cited in Hayward's History of Hancock. It is a sad and a thrilling
story, and moreover is one of those peculiar traditions that soon be-
come crystalized into history unless met and refuted by the testi-
mony of recorded evidence. Such evidence is at hand. April 29,
1729, Charter Samuel Moore conveyed by deed of gift one undi-
vided half of certain lands, which he acquired as a proprietor of the
township, to Robert and Samuel Moore, the only sons of Charter
John then born, styling them in the deed as " my grand-children."
The same day he conveyed by deed of gift one undivided half of
the same lands to Andrew Todd in consideration of a promise when
he "contracted matrimony with my daughter."
In the will of Charter John Moore reference is made to the lands
which "my sons Robert and Samuel received from my honored
father." In the same will reference is made to " Andrew Todd my
brother-in-law." See Registry of Deeds and Probate Records at
Exeter.
The title to one of the parcels of land conveyed by Charter Sam-
uel Moore was contested by Jonathan Chamberlain, who claimed
under the Massachusetts charter of Tyngstown. In the suits at law
there is repeated mention of this family relationship. See court
files 1746 in office of the Secretary of State. It is certain that

Beatrix Todd, wife of Col. Andrew Todd, was a sister of Charter
John Moore, and that both were children of Charter Samuel
Moore.
1. Charter Samuel Moore with wife Mary came to Londonderry
1720. He probably lived with his son John. There is no evidence that
during his life any dwelling was erected on any of his lands. He was a
selectman 1721 and again in 1723. He was living 1729 and died soon af-
ter that date. His wife Mary died April 8, 1733, aged 72. (Gravestone.)

donderry about 1720. He was one of the original proprietors and was
an active, influential citizen. . In the provincial wars he was lieutenant,
captain and colonel. He married in Londonderry (not in Ireland as stated
by Parker), November 18, 1722, Beatrix Moore, daughter of Charter
Samuel and Mary Moore. He died while visiting at the home of his
daughter Mrs. Miller in Peterborough, September 5, 1777, aged 80 years.
I have found no record of the death of Beatrix his wife. In no printed
record is found the names of all the children of Col. Todd. Parker names
five sons and two daughters. There were live sons and five daughters:
25. i. James, b. Aug. 1, 1724; d. about 1760.
26. ii. Samuel, b. Jan. 23, 1726; for record of his family see History of

Letitia (Bell) Duncan, lived in Londonderry until 1774 when they
moved to Society Land and in 1779 to Hancock. Seven children.
35. Charter James Moore was one of the signers of the memorial
to Gov. Shute and an original proprietor of Londonderry. He wrote a
plain ornate hand, and his signature to petitions and other papers com-
pared with the signature to his will easily distinguishes him from all
others of the same name. He was a weaver and a dealer in linen wares,
and his prosperity is attested by the inventory of his estate which amounted
to £3,570. After receiving two or more lots of land from the first allot-
ments of the township, he sold his share in the propriety in 1724 to Hugh
Ramsey, to whom the lots in the subsequent divisions were assigned. He
lived near the present boundary line between Derry and Windham and
near the junction of the two railroads which pass through Windham.
To his original homestead he made many additions by purchase until his
farm exceeded 700 acres in area. At the incorporation of Windham in
1742 he, with several others, objected to be severed from Londonderry,
and at this point the north line of Windham was deflected to the south,
leaving the farms of the remonstrants in the town of Londonderry. By a
supplementary act of the Legislature in 1778 the line was straightened
and so much of these farms as was south of a straight line was added to

quest and the following verdict is found in the riles of the court:
" The said Robert Moore died by accident, being engaged in a

ey was duly indicted for murder, and tried at the August term

65. James Moore, born 1706, is first mentioned in the records, 1728.

carpenter, and lived one half mile south of Beaver Pond. He married Eliza-
beth Gregg, daughter of Capt. James Gregg, one of the sixteen first families
of Londonderry. He died September 30, 1755. His will is dated Sep-

75. Capt. John Moore was born, probably in Ireland, May 6, 1723.
It is uncertain when he came to Londonderry. In 1736, widow Mary
Moore bought thirty acres of land in Londonderry, and in 1744 by deed of
gift conveyed the same to "my son John." He was an influential citizen,
residing on a farm adjoining the homestead of Gen. George Reid, within
the present town of Derry. He married Mary Ann Clendennin. daughter
of Andrew and Mary Ann Clendennin of Londonderry. She died April
15, 1766. He married second, Mary Cochran, and third, Noaini or Nanna

came to Londonderry is not easily apparent. In February, 1736, he leased
for the term of three years the home lot and buildings thereon owned by
John Wheelwright of Boston. This farm was adjacent to Beaver Pond.
His children were probably born in Londonderry and Chester. In 1739
he removed to Chester, where he died 1747 or 1748. His will was dated
June 22, 1747, and probated August 31, 1748. The name of his wife was

Queries.
Steele— Talcott. — Wanted, full marriage date of John Steel (first Colonial
Secretary of Connecticut, 1636-1639) to Rachel Talcott, eldest daughter of John
Talcott and Anne Skinner of Braintree, co. Essex, England (Talcott Gen., p.
14; N. E. Register, 50, p. 135) ; also any data relating to his English aucestry.
John Talcott, brother of Rachel, mar. Dorothy, daughter of Mark Mott of
Braintree; sailed for New England, 1632; was fifth on list of eighty largest
proprietors enumerated in registry of Newtown (Cambridge) ; removed to
Hartford, Conn., 1G3G, and became one of chief magistrates of the colony; his
will. Aug. 12, 1659, mentions '-my kinswoman Sara Steel" (dan. of Mr. John
Steel and Rachel Talcott), and her brother Lieut. Samuel Steel speaks in his
will of his "much esteemed kinsman Capt. Samuel Talcott of Wethersfield "
(son of John Talcott and Dorothy Mott). William Lyngwood, gent., of co.
Essex, writing to his " cousin " Nicholas Clarke in New England, Mar. 20, 1651,
asks for a " warrant and order from you, testified by such of my friends there
with you, whose hands 1 know, as my cousin Loomys (Joseph Loomis of Wind-
sor, Conn., 163S), cousin Culliwick, John Tailcott, John Steele" (Goodwins
of Hartford, Conn., 1891, p. 42). The will of John Hawkins, of Braintree,
Essex, Geut., Sept. 3, 1633, mentions "my friend William Lingwood, Adrian
Mott, Joseph Loomys ; laud bought of Francis Steele and Elizabeth also of
John Hewes and Elizabeth, his wife, formerly wife of Steele" (N. E.
Reg., vol. 44, p. 390). Robert Mott, alderman of Colchester, co. Essex, who
d. 1C04, mentions his sister, wife of Steele (N. E. RegM vol. 50, p. 253).
John Steel, Georire Steel and Henry Steel were prominent members of the
Braintree Company, which settled at Cambridge (Winthrop's Journal,. Mass.
Hist. Coll., Vol. VII.. p. 10). John Steel was one of eight Commissioners ap-
pointed to govern the great exodus to Connecticut, and in 1635 as secular leader
and captain, conducted the band of pioneers '• through a hideous and trackless
wilderness" to the great river. The first court in Conn., April 26, 1336, con-
sisted of Roirer Ludlow, chairman, and Mr. Westwood, John Steele, Andrew
Ward and William Phelps, " i\\e of the best men in the colony" (Hinman, 1846,
p. 6). Mr. Steel was elected Deputy to the principal colony court, during twen-
ty-three years, and as Secretary signed the order declaring au " offensive war "
against the Pequots. Savage states that Henry Steel died early or possibly
returned to England. George Steel had issue, Elizabeth, Richard and James;
John Steel had: John, Jr., mar. 1645; Samuel, b. 1626-7; Lydia, mar. 1657;
Mary, mar. 1658; Haunah, and Sarah b. 1638; these names may aid in deter-
mining the parentage of the settlers. Frank Barnard King.

Southwortel— "In the Visitation of Nottinghamshire in 1614, Edward South-
worth gave to the Heralds a statement that he was the son of Robert, the son
of Richard, the son of Aymond, who lived in tile reign of Henry the Eighth."
This does not agree with the pedegree given in Wiusor's History of Duxbury
which was " procured by Mr. Horatio G. Somerby from the Heralds College."
This brings it down to Constant who married Alice Carpenter, by an entirely
different line. Now we know it was Edward that married Alice Carpenter, and
thought that probably the first pedigree was the one to rely on. I would like
further information. Mary L. I. Alden.

The House in Haverhill in which John G. Whittier was the Puttl of
Joshua Coffin. — In 1891, I wrote to the late Rev. Samuel Jones Spalding,
D.D., of Newburyport, Mass., who had written for the Memorial Biographies
of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society a memoir of Joshua Coflin,
author of the History of Newbury, which memoir is now on file for publica-
tion, asking him for the location of the house in Haverhill in which John G.
Whittier was a scholar to Coffin. (See Rev. Elias Nason's sketch of Coflin,
Register, Vol. XX., p. 268.*) I give an extract from Rev. Dr. Spalding's re-
ply, dated April 9, 1891 :
" The house in which Joshua Coffin kept school when Whittier first knew
him was that of Daniel Eli, a carriage-maker, whose wife is referred to in the
poem. Whittier was a small lad who went to school with his older sister,
Mary (afterwards Mrs. Caldwell), aud when weary of school he was allowed
to amuse himself part of the time in playing with blocks in Eli's carriage shop."

Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Mass. — David W. Hoyt, A.M.,
of Providence, R. I., has prepared a genealogy of the " Old Families of Salis-
bury and Amesbury, Mass., with some Related Families of Newbury, Haverhill,
Ipswich, and Hampton." The volume which is now ready for publication
brings the record down to about the year 1700, including the flrst three or four
generations of the early settlers. It not only contains 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.
The number of subscriptions received in response to the circular issued two
years ago is so small that the author cannot engage to print the whole at so
great an expense to himself. It is, therefore, proposed to issue the work in
parts, at $1.00 each. Part I. will be issued as soon as a sufficient number of
subsciptions have been received to pay the cost of printing that part. The
number of pajres included in it will depend upon the number of subscribers.
If the whole work cannot be printed without too great a loss, the manuscript
will be deposited in the library of the New-England Historic Genealogical So-
ciety, in Boston.

The Manuscript Journals of Alexander Henry and of David Thompson. 1799-
1814. Exploration and Adventure among the Indians on the Bed, Saskatche-
wan, Missouri and Columbia Hirers; edited, with copious critical commen-
tary, by Elliott Coues, editor of Lewis and Clark, of Pike, etc. New
York: published by Francis P. Harper. 1897. Three volumes, 8vo ; Vol.1.,
pp. 44S; Vol. II., pp. 470; Vol. III., pp. 111. Price §10.00 net. Large paper,
$20.00.
This is a book of history which deals with the primitive and what may be
called the antecedent facts of record. The territory to which it applies is
partly w ithin the United States and partly in the Canadian dominion. The main
text of the work is the manuscript journal of Alexander Henry, a Canadian fur
trader, which journal, with some interruptions, covers the period from the
autumn of 1799 to May 22, 1814. This text is supplemented and fortified by
extracts, in the iorm of editorial foot notes, from the manuscript journal or
diary of David Thompson, another fur trader, whose record is contempora-
neous. Thompson's complete journal, however, extends over a much longer
period, viz.. from 17*4 to 1s,j0. During the term comprised in the Henry jour-
nal both these men were indentified with the Northwest Company, the rival of
the Hudson Bay Company.
Thompson's journal is scientifically the more valuable. It has numerous exact
meteorological records and records of ireographical positions in the then wil-
derness, astronomically determined. That of Henry is a more picturesque
narrative, yet picturesque without effort or special intention. It abounds with
dramatic and impressive situations, while holding with manifest fidelity to the
,
1897.] Book Notices. 501
facts. These events and situations were beheld by the narrator with a keen
eye and a never perturbed intellect and were reproduced by his pen, artlessly,
and, as it were, photographically. Many thanks are no doubt clue to the editor
for his skilful amendment of Henry's somewhat turgid phraseology, but he de-
clares, and the printed page bears intrinsic evideuce that it is so, that iu the
liberties he has taken with the text of the manuscript he has but caused Henry
" to tell his own story as plainly as he evidently wished to tell it aud supposed
he was telling it."
The work was designated above as a "book," and such it maybe called,
though it is in three volumes. The first two volumes comprise the text, the
pagination being continuous. The third, a comparatively thin volume, contains
only a copious index. The editor's preface of 28 pages is of itself a highly
valuable chapter of history, especially for those who are beginners in the study
of records pertaining to the " Great Northwest " region of our continent. The
first thing that such a reader of the preface will notice is the statement there
made that there were two Alexander Henrys, both fur traders in parts of the
Great Northwest aud both narrators, in writing, of their adveutures. They
stood in the relation of uncle and nephew, the latter being the one here under
consideration. The explorations of the former were made in the period, 1760-
1770. The journal of the younger Henry, now first given to the world, is des-
tined to rank with works of the highest authority relating to the Northwest
country in its primitive condition.
These adventures of his began as early as 1792, but so far as is now known,
the first of his journalizing is of date 1799. The commercial headquarters of
this trade appear to have been at Montreal, though Henry in figuring up his an-
nual profits reduces the sum to the currency of Halifax. Supplies were sent
from and returns made to one or both these places by the route of the Great
Lakes. The point of departure into the forest was, for Henry's various canoe
parties, on Lake Superior at the Canadian border. Thence their advance was
westward through the Lake of the Woods and Lake Wiunepeg to the upper
waters of the great rivers of both Canada and the United States. Finally, in
1813, Henry crossed the Rocky Mountains and conducted a fur trade with the
Indians of* the Columbia, the Willamette and other rivers.
In these diverse and prolonged journeyings he visited and in his memoranda
describes the existing conditions, physical, social, commercial, military and
ethnological, in uumerous places in our States of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dacota, Idaho, Urt-gon and Washington, and in seven diiferent provinces of the
Canadian dominion as now organized. It was in view of this that the book
was described above as dealing with " the antecedent facts of history." The
historian of any one of these states or provinces cannot well begin his formal
record earlier than the date of survey and naming of the particular region.
But here, in the narrative of Henry and like narratives, he has resources for
enlivening his page in records earlier than any official tomes, portraying a state
of things interesting to the verge of the romantic, yet of indisputable verity.
It is somewhat as if the historian of England, who has not deemed himself to
be on quite firm ground till he has arrived at the date of the Conqueror and
Domesday Book, should now be supplied with authentic diaries written by con-
temporaries of Heugst, Egbert, Canute or auy of the rest.
The learned writer who has produced these volumes has hitherto in this re-
view been referred to as " editor." It is to be added that he is author also. The
extracts from Thompson were described as editorial footnotes, because much
of the value consists in what has been supplied from Mr. Coues's original ac-
quisitions. The same remark applies to the third volume, which contains not
only an index of the work, but, in the same alphabetical arrangement, reference
to collateral matters to be found outside of Henry's journal. These came into
view and were noted by Mr. Coues in the course of his study of official docu-
ments and other literary data relating to the Great Northwest, a study inciden-
tal to his editing for the press the journals and other records of the famous
expeditions of Lewis aud Clark and Zebulou M. Fike. Nor does his service as
author cease with this, for throughout are given abundant notes aud explana-
tions concerning the fauna aud "flora of the regions traversed, these being, it
need hardly be said, the commentaries of one who is an expert and an author-
ity. These volumes are entitled to a place iu every comprehensive general
library and historical library in English-speaking America.

History of the County of Annapolis, inchtding Old Port Royal and Acadia, icith
Memories of its Representatives in the Provincial Parliament, and biographical
and genealogical sketches of its early English settlers and their families. By
the late W. A. Calxek. Edited and completed by A. W. Savary, M.A.
With Portraits and Illustrations. Toronto : William Briggs. Montreal : C.
W. Coates. Halifax: S. F. Huestis. Loudon: Phillimore & Co., 4G Essex
Street, Strand. 1897. Svo. pp. xiv.-f-651.
This is a very valuable history of the County of Annapolis in Nova Scotia.
Perhaps the most striking feature in the history of the Province of Nova
Scotia is the banishment of the Acadiaus. It is interesting to compare the
account given by Mr. W. A. Calnek, the author of the larger part of this
■work, aud that given by Judge A. W. Savary, the editor of the same. Stripped
of all the fiction which has grown up around it this at least may be said in
extenuation of the measure (however harsh it undoubtedly was) that it appears
to have been a necessary measure of self-preservation on the part of the Eng-
lish rulers of the Province. It was alleged that the Acadiaus furnished sup-
plies to the warlike French and Indians. Aud at one time the French on the
main land compelled some three huudred of their number to take up arms at
Fort Beausejour against the English settlers. It is probable that the rulers of
Nova Scotia were the best judges of the exigencies of the situation. It is cer-
tain that Annapolis would several times have fallen into the hands of the French
had it not been for the forces sent from Massachusetts. Beyond the Acadians
to the west, in the region beyond the Beaubassin and the Missequash, were the
Canadian French and their Indian allies; to the eastward was Louisburg which
(by the unpardonable blundering of some one high in the British couueils had
by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle been restored to France, thus making null and
void all the sacrifices and hardships sustained by the brave New England troops
nnder Sir William Pepperrell in its capture) was a continual menace to their
safety, nay their very existence even. The cross of St. George was not in An-
napolis Koyal supplanted by the lilies of Frauce. It is a satisfaction to note
that after the troublous times had passed away, a majority of the exiles re-
turned to Nova Scotia.

This valuable work has been compiled by Mr. Walter A. Davis, City Clerk of
Fitchburg, assisted by Miss Lucy A. Hay ward aud Miss Edith L. Davis, and Mrs.
George W. Stone. It was published under the direction of the City Government
of Fitchburg. It would be well it' every city and town in the land that has not
already done so would set about gathering and preserving in published form all
the material that can be obtained relating to their history. Many of the writers
of our town histories and our family genealogies have devoted their leisure hours
for many years to their compilation. It should be the privilege of all who can in
any way do so to aid them in their splendid work. It is hardly possible to esti-
mate the grand results effected by them and by the members of our different his-
torical societies. Del vers together ic the rich soil of American history and
genealogy, they are steadily accumulating a priceless stock of material for the
nse of the historians of the future; they are recording in some measure the
progress that has been made in the past, the progress that is being made in the
present, is a continual earnest of the grander, truer progress yet to be.

An additional volume in the Foot Prints of the Patriots series*, by the same
author, and from the same publishers, is a valuable accession to the store of
facts and incidents connected with the American Revolution. Here the reader
is brought face to face with actual relics, documents, portraits and autographs
of the actors in those stirring events. Mr. Brown has been wonderfully suc-
cessful in his search for survivals. Not only hearth stones where the men of
■

other days resided, bnt the grave stones, -where their bodies have since slept,
have beeu visited ; and illustrations of the actual spots are reproduced iu this
volume with great profusion. Yet not one is superfluous. They assist Mr.
Brown in his vivid narrative, which has the charm of romance. The men whose
careers are sketched are the veritable actors. Col. Prescott, Gen. Putnam,
Capt. Ford, Lieut. Spalding, Private Pollard, and many others are successively
introduced with graphic narrative of their deeds, aud half tone cuts of their
weapons, their birth places or residences, their implements of agriculture, the
furniture of their dwellings and personal belongings of themselves, their wives
and daughters.
No reader is so old but will read this book with the avidity of youth. The
sons of upper Middlesex, at home aud abroad, will possess a most captivating
history of the part enacted by their grandfathers in 1775-83. No imagination
can equal it aud no poetic rendering surpass it. One breathes the very air of
those days; sympathizes with their trials, sacrifices and misfortunes; and re-
joices in their victory, and the indomitable spirit which secured it.

Quarterly Publications of the American Statistical Association. New Series.
No. 38, vol. v. June, 1S97. Boston : American Statistical Association, 491
Boylston Street. 1897. Svo. 52 pages. Price 50 cents a number or $2 per
annum.
The last number of the Publications of the American Statistical Association
contains the memorial address on its late president, Francis Amasa "Walker,
LL.U., delivered before the Association by Hon. Carroll D. Wright on Friday
evening, April 16, 1897. Gen. Walker was the president of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, as well as of the Statistical Association. Mr. Wright's
address was an appreciative survey of Gen. Walker's many-sided life. He oc-
cupied may high positions and he won honor in them all. In the same num-
ber is given a Bibliography of the Writings aud Keported Addresses of Gen.
Walker.
The previous number of the Quarterly Publications, March, 1897, contains
the Remarks of President Walker at Washington, Dec. 31, 1896, at a meeting of
the Washington members of the Statistical Association. The remarks were
informal, but a stenographer's report was taken which, however, Gen. Walker
had no opportunity to revise. "The Remarks," says Col. Wright, " are in-
teresting not only for their contents, but as constituting the last public ut-
terances of President Walker." He died January 5, 1897, only a few days after
delivering this address.
" He has eudeared himself," says Col. Wright, " by his personal attributes
to a wide circle of friends who will join in writing his epitaph. Let the public
for whom he toiled, and in whose service he died, erect the tomb, but let his
friends out of loving hearts write his epitaph. But is Walker dead? His work
will and must live on, as must the work of every good and great man. It can-
not perish. His inrtueuce over the youth of this country, over the body of his
students, is immortal, and whether we erect tombs or write epitaphs, he needs
•nothing to establish his place in the hearts of a grateful people."
British Officers serving in the American Revolution, 1774-1783. Compiled by
Woutjiingtox Chauncey Ford. Brooklyn, N. Y. : Historical Printing
Club. 1897. Royal 8vo. pp. 187. Edition limited to two hundred and lifty
copies. Prices, cloth uncut, $4.00 net; sewed in paper, §3.00 net.
This is a companion volume to British Officers serving in 1754-1774, printed
in instalments in the Rkgister for 1894 and 1895 and subsequently issued sepa-
rately in a volume. That volume gave a list of British officers serving in
America for twenty-one years previous to the Revolution, this gives the officers
who served here during the Revolution.
A prospectus of this work informs us that " of the many officers in the regular
army of Great Britain serving in America during the Revolution, 1774-17^3, no
list is to be found other than the official ' Army List ' issued annually by the
War Office. These earlier lists have become of great rarity, and not more than
haH a dozen sets are to be found in libraries of the United States. Nor is it a
simple matter to consult them, if accessible. The arrangement in the original
lists is by regiments and by date of rank, no alphabetical order being employed.
.
504 Booh Notices. [Oct.
Where an officer has served in more than one regiment it becomes, therefore, a
difficult matter to trace the changes of rank and service; while the notably fre-
quent occurrence of the same name in the Scotch regiments adds to the liabili-
ty to mistake and confusion. To simplify reference this new list has been
compiled from the Army Lists and from such other semi-official registers as
have been found. The order is strictly alphabetical, and the dates of every
commission, for whatever rank or regiment, are given for each officer, so far
as the record will show."
History of Dover, Mass., as a Precinct, Parish, District and Town. By Frank
Smith. Published by the town, 1697. Large 12mo. pp. xv.+354, with maps
and illustrations.
Dover was originally a part of Dedham and was the seventh town that was
set off and organized into a separate town. Iu 1748 it was known as the Spring-
field or Fourth Parish, was a District in 1784 and incorporated as a town in
1S3G.
As the parish antedated the town by nearly one hundred years, its history is
given first, and in describing it the author has painted a picture of many other
parishes of the early New England towns.
Among the subjects considered in the book, are the Building of the Meeting
House and the Settlement of the First Minister, the Social Life and Conditions,
the Early Families, the Colonial Contests and the later Wars, the Ecclesiastical
History, the Schools, the Manufacturing and other Industries and the Natural
History of the Town.
The chapter on the social life and habits and customs of the people at the
early period, is of great iuterest and value, and the lists containing the names
of the citizens of Dover, as a parish or town, who took part in the different
wars, will be found very useful for reference. In its plan and iu its execution
the work is most complete and excellent, and is a model in every respect. The
book is brought out in a very attractive form and the maps and illustrations
add greatly to the interest and value of the work.
A second volume is to follow in due time, giving the genealogy of the early
and later families.

True Stories of Xeio England Captives Carried to Canada During the Old French
and Indian Wars. By C. Alice Baker. Cambridge. 1897. Sm. 4 to. pp.
399. Price 63.50. To be obtained of C. Alice Baker, Cambridge, Mass. ; G.
E. Littlefieid, G7 Cornhill, Boston; or of John Sheldon, Greenfield, Mass.
Miss Baker has compiled a much needed book. In her preface she says :
" As often as I have read in the annals of the early settlers of New England
the pathetic words, ' Carried Captive to Canada whence they came not back,' I
have longed to know the fate of the captives. The wish has become a pur-
pose, and I have taken upon myself a mission to open the door for their re-
turn." The author intends this work to be a sequel to the " Tragedies of the
Wilderness," by the late Samuel Gardner Drake, whose book was published fifty
years ago.
There are thirteen narratives in this volume. The first is that of Christine
Otis, captured at Dover. N. H., of whom some account is given in the Register
for 18.31 (page 189); another is that of Esther Wheelwright, a great grand-
daughter of Rev. John Wheelwright, who was captured at Wells, Me., who
adopted the religion of her captors and became Mother Superior of the Ur-
..

sulines of Quebec. "Her varied fortunes form one of the most romantic epi-
sodes in the history of the old French and Indian wars." Another is that of
Eunice Williams, daughter of Rev. John Williams of Deerfield, who was cap-
tured when ten years old. She married an Indian and became one. The ad-
ventures of these and the other New England captives are very interesting.
Many of the details here given have been gathered by Miss Baker from personal
visits to Canada and the frontiers. "The story of Miss Baker's journeyings
up and clown the St. Lawrence between Montreal and Quebec," says the Spring-
field Republican, '• would in itself read like a romance. In summer heats and
the rigors of Canadian winters, searching parish registers, asking and always
receiving every possible assistance from the cures, who entered into her re-
searches with the greatest interest and treated her with genuine hospitality,
she found here and there a clue which she followed up, until she finally suc-
ceeded in tracing the lives of eighteen out of thirty Deerfield captives^ who
had been totally lost to their kindred from the time of their capture."

Diary kept by Lieut. Dudley Bradstreet of Groton, Mass., during the siege of Louis-
burg, April 1745 — January 1746. With Notes and an Introduction by Sam-
uel A. Green. Cambridge: John Wilson and Sou, University Press. 1897.
8vo. pp. 32.
The diary of Lieut. Bradstreet, which Dr. Green prints in the pamphlet be-
fore us, furnishes many details of the first siege of Louisburg, and mentions
many persons who were present at that siege. The diarist was a member of
Capt. John Warner's company in the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment com-
manded by Col. Samuel Willard. The men in this company were from Groton
and its vicinity, aud the diary mentions from time to time Groton men who
were serving in the army. Dr. Green, who has printed so much about his native
town, has done well to reproduce this manuscript.
General Timothy Buggies. 1711-1795. By Henry Stoddard Ruggles of
Wakefield, Mass. Privately Printed. 1897. 8vo. pp. 40.
Brigadier Ruggles, whose biography is before us, was an influential and pub-
lic spirited man and a leader in the affairs of Worcester county, Massachusetts,
before the Revolution. Mr. Ruggles of Wakefield has written a very interest-
ing account of his career. He was a Mandamus Councillor, and opposed the
war with England, though many of his near relatives served with distinction in
the revolutionary war. Brigadier Ruggles suffered the consequences of living
op to his convictions, and died in exile. But he had many friends in his native
land who honored his motives.

Gloucestershire Parish Registers. Marriages. Edited by W. P. W. Phillimore,
M.A., B.C.L. Vol. I. London: Issued to the Subscribers by the Editor,
124 Chancery Lane. 1896. 8vo. pp. vi.-}-149. Price 12s. 6d.
Mr. Phillimore's genealogical and antiquarian publications have often been
commended in our panes. The book before us is the initial volume of Philli-
more's Parish Register Series. It is devoted to parishes in Gloucestershire.
As the baptisms and burials in parish registers are so numerous as to preclude
printing them to any great extent in their entirety, the author has decided to
begin with printing the marriages. 'This volume contains the registers of Mar-
riages itt the following: eight parishes: King's Stanley. 1573-1812; Owlpen. 1687-
1895; Quedgeley, 1559-1836; Rendcombe. 1566-1812; Swindon. 1638-1S37: Forth-
ampton, 1687-1812; Nimpsfield, H>70-1812r and Slimbridge, 1635-1812.
Mr. Phillimore says truly that " the genealogical utility of this volume will
be considerable, for it is well known that one of the chief obstacles to the
completion of a pedigree is the difficulty of obtaining the names of the wives."
The editor confers a new obligation on the auticpuary and the student of
family- history by this publication.
Inscriptions from Gravestones in the Old North Cemetery, Tmro, Mass. From
1713 to 1S40. By John B. Dyer, Town Clerk of Truro, Mass., for John
L. Lombard of Chicago, 111. Provincetown, Mass. : Howard F. Hopkins.
1897. 8vo. pp. 35.
Mr. J. Harvey Treat of Lawrence published in 1880 a transcript of the Bap-
tisms in Truro from 1711 to 1800 : and in 1891 he issued the Deaths in Truro, 1786-
1826, taken from the Diary of Rev. Jude Damon. We have here before us the
graveyard inscriptions in the North Cemetery in that town from 1713 to 1810. It
is a useful publication, for which both Mr. Dyer and Mr. Lombard deserve
praise. It no doubt supplies many dates not found in the previous works, nor
in the History of Truro by Shebnah Rich, published in ls83.
New York in the Revolution as Colony and State. These Records icere discovered,
arranged and classijifd by James A. Roberts, Comptroller. Albany, N. Y. :
"Weed-Parsons Printing Company, Pi inters, 1897. Large 4to. pp. xix.+261.
Mr. Roberts, the Comptroller of the State of New York, says in his preface :
" During my first term of office as comptroller, the work of putting the old
records of the comptroller's department in systematic order for purposes of
easy reference was undertaken. The work in its progress brought to light
quantities of forgotten papers relating to the services performed by New York
iu the Revolutionary war. These papers, long since detached from their origi-
nal file packages, Mere promiscuously scattered through great masses of old
vouchers and tiles."
Mr. Roberts realized at once the great value and importance of the papers.
Competent men were at once set at work in searching and arranging these pa-
pers, and the result of this work is the volume before us. It contains princi-
pally lists of soldiers who have done service in the revolutionary war compiled
from the various papers. Facsimiles of some of the most important docu-
ments are given.
The book is a valuable addition to the materials for the history of New York.
It will be specially prized by the descendants of the Revolutionary soldiers of
that state.
Francis William Bird. A Biographical Sketch. Boston: Privately printed.
1897. With a portrait. 12mo. pp. 168.
Mr. Bird was prominent as a Freesoiler in anti-slavery days. He was al-
ways an independent thiuker and actor. The author of this book says of him :
" He has many claims to our remembrance. As a manufacturer, his reputation
for sterling honesty is unimpeached; he had the good-will of his associates,
the love and veneration of his employes, to whom he stood in a peculiarly gra-
cious and winning relationship. As a politician — using the word in its best
significance — he preserved a sturdy independence which invariably led him to
prefer the paramount interests of the whole country to the ephemeral consider-
ations of section or party."
The book is well written and gives an interesting narrative of Mr. Bird's life.

printed on heavy white paper and neatly bound. The preface gives a brief his-
tory and some statistics of the class of 18G1 of Bowdoin College w Brief bio-

We continue in this number our quarterly notices of recent publications rela-
ting to family history.
The book on the Ancestry and Descendants of Sir Richard Saltonstall is a
model in every respect for the history of a family. Sir Richard Saltonstall
was prominent among the founders of the colony of Massachusetts Bay, and
his descendants have held high positions in the affairs of New England. The
present work is by Leverett Saltonstall, Esq., whose knowledge of the history
of the family is well known. He died at Chestnut Hill, April 15, 1805, a few
days after his completion of the manuscript of this genealogy. " It had been,"
says his son, " his earnest desire personally to superintend the publishing of the
book for which he left careful instructions in writing, in case the work should
be done by others than himself." The son, Richard M. Saltonstall, Esq., has
endeavored in every respect to carry out these instructions.
Mr. Saltonstall in his preface dated at Chestnut Hill, March, 1S05, a month
before his death, says: " The pedigree of the family of Saltonstall in England
and America has long been known in a general way to genealogists, but its his-
tory in a connected form has never been fully presented. The deep interest I
feel in the preservation of its record and the care I have taken to obtain infor-
mation induced me to attempt the compilation of the work herewith presented.
Long continued illness has prevented more exhaustive research, but I trust that
what is here shown will prove satisfactory and instructive to those who value
descent from a long line of worthy ancestors."
Though the author asks indulgence on account of sickness while the work
■
508 JRecent Publications. [Oct.
"was being prepared for the press, an examination of the book itself shows that
it is not needed. The subject was familiar to Mr. Saltoustall, and had received
his mo^t careful research. The family in England held a high rank, and many
of the name were eutrusted with offices of honor. Their record is full}' given
in these pages, as is also that of the distinguished Saitonstalls in this country.
The biographical sketches are well written, and the genealogical details correct-
ly given.
The book is brought out in the most beautiful and expensive style. Por-
traits, views of scenery and buildings, and other illustrations of a high order
of art adorn the volume. The family possess many portraits by the great
paiuters of the time. These are reproduced as are also the rare and quaint
documents preserved as heirlooms.
The work on the Stiles family is devoted to the Stileses of Kentucky and
Missouri, who are said to be descendants of the New Jersey and Connecticut
families of the name. The earliest one who settled in Kentucky was David
Stiles, who was a sou of Thomas and Abigail (Ogden) Stiles, and was born in
Morristowu, N. J., in 1760. The book contains much interesting matter and is
illustrated with portraits.
The Chamberlain pamphlet traces for seven generations one branch of the
descendants of Thomas Chamberlain, an early settler of Woburn, Mass. It is
well compiled and we hope it will lead others to continue the work so well
begun.
The Manning pamphlet, by Mr. "Waters, is a reprint from his Gleanings in the
Register for July, 1S07. It will have a particular interest for descendants of
some of the early Salem families.
The Pedigree of Mabel Harlakenden was compiled by the late Rev. Heury
Jones, of Bridgeport, Ct., and was fully noticed in the Register for January,
18C3, soon after the appearance of the first editiou. The broadside before us is
a second edition of Kev. Mr. Jones's tabular pedigree. Henry Evans, vice-
president of the Continental Insurance Company of New York city, borrowed
a copy from William G. Whilden, of Greenville, S. C, and had it reproduced
by the Ottmann Lithographic Company, after adding to it information concern-
ing his own family to date. Copies can be obtaiued of Mr. Evaus, 46 Cedar
Street, New York.
The Genealogy of the Cromwell-Williams family was compiled by Mr. Phillips
in 1894 for the late Hon. Joseph Hartwell Williams, Ex-Governor of Maine,
who had been engaged many years in researches into the history of the family.
lie had a very few copies of the pedigree printed as gifts to his immediate
relatives. We understand that an important clue in tracing the ancestry of
Richard Williams, of Taunton, Mass., was found in the wills of his brother,
Benjamin Williams, of Stoake in Surrey, and his sister Jane Williams, of
Wheatenhurst in Gloucester, which Mr. Waters found and printed in his
Gleanings in the Register for July and October, 18S3, vol. 37, pp. 236 and 376.
The pamphlet entitled Richard Williams and the Cromwell Family contains the
preceding tabular pedigree in narrative form, with an introduction prepared by
Gov. Williams's friend, Hon. Josiah H. Drummond. It is reprinted from the
Register for April last.
The Tufts Genealogy is a reprint from the Register for July, 1897.
