RECORD COMMISSIONERS.
BOSTON, December 31, 1880.
The Record Commissioners obtained the consent of the
City Council this year, to print, as their sixth volume, the
Land Records of Roxbury, thereby carrying out the idea
of apportioning. the work among the various sections of our
present city. The second volume contains Boston records ;
the third, Charlestown records ; the fourth, Dorchester
records ; the present, Roxbury records ; and the seventh,
now in the printers' hands, will resume the Boston volumes.
The Roxbury book here printed, has, we believe, been
taken apart and re-arranged, so that it is no longer possible*
to say when the record of grants was commenced. Cer-
tainly the first entry on our first page, dated in 1639, is not
in the same handwriting as the entries paged 1-86, on our
pages' 12-51. These entries were all by the same hand,
and probably the following order explains them : —

makeing new transcript."

These signatures are not autographs, but a comparison
with other pages leads us to the conviction, that this tran-
script, or book of possessions, was written by Edward Den-
ison at that time.
The other items in the book are dated, and are of the
miscellaneous nature generally to be found in old books of
town records.
As this particular volume would not make a book of the
size of others in this series of reports, the commissioners
searched for material to accompany it. The first volume of
town records is in proper form for printing by itself, and it
seemed unwise to divide it so as to fill out this book. It
was, however, believed, that the Records of the First Church
in Roxbury were of so conspicuous interest and value as to
warrant their selection for printing. Not only are they of
interest as being largely the work of that most famous of
our divines, the Rev. John Eliot, but they contain many
pages of entries of general interest. Mr. Eliot and his col-
league, the Rev. Samuel Danforth, happily conceived the
idea of entering in this volume a summary of public events,
year by year. As public records, therefore, they will be
valued by many who have no special interest in the doings
of the settlers at Roxbury.
Portions of this record hare been printed already. In
1850, the late J. Wingate Thornton, Esq., published a num-
ber of articles, in a Roxbury newspaper, concerning the
early settlers. A portion of the church record was thus
printed, and fifty copies of these essays were issued in book
form. During the past two years the whole of the public
record of Eliot and Danforth has appeared in the New
England Historical and Genealogical Register, with elabo-
rate notes by William B. Trask, Esq. But even this pub-
licity is but partial, and the expense to a collector would be
considerable. The greater part of the volume, however, is
now printed for the first time, and all of the volume, except
a very few pages, is here given.
RECORD COMMISSIONERS' REPORT. v
The following description of the venerable manuscript
volume will show exactly what has been done with it. It
will be noticed that we have altered the arrangement in one
or two points, in order to make the whole more systematic.
Thus, at the end, the baptisms and burials, from 1641 to
1688, were written in double columns on each page, under
the heading of each year. As we could not print these
entries in this form, it seemed best to print all the baptisms
in chronological order, and then to treat the burials in the
same way.
In the manuscript we find first three leaves, on one of
which there is some poetry on Abigail Tomson, and on two
of the others some church votes, etc., in 1658. The pagina-
tion then begins regularly, but we have not inserted it in the
text, as many of the pages have but a few names on each.
Probably Mr. Eiliot intended to leave room after each name
for further notes. On p. 56 (our printed page 86) the en-
tries begin to be more in detail. With page 70 (our page
"•00) these entries end, and the lists of admissions begin, con-
tinuing through p, 81 (our p. 111). Pp. 82, 3, 4 are blank.
On p. 85 is the list of five names printed by us on p. 111.
P. 86 is blank.
Pp. 87-89 are entries of admission from 1753, printed
on pp. 111-114. Pp. 91-96, blank.
Pp. 97-110 are baptisms from 1751-1766 ; these we have
transferred to their proper place, and print on pp. 147-162.
Pp. 111-124 contain votes of the church from 1751-1774,
and are not printed, as they contain nothing of interest- to the
public. Pp. 125-138, blank.
Pp. 139-144, baptisms resumed, 1768, etc. ; printed by us,
pp. 162-169.
Pp. 145-242, blank ; pp. 243-4, two pages of accounts
A.D. 1672-7.
Pp. 245-249, Eliot's general records, printed on pp. 187-
191 ; p. 250, the note on William Curtis.
Pp. 251-262, Danforth's records, printed on pp. 196-212.
Pp. 262-268, Eliot's records, printed on pp. 191-196.
P. 269, Amos Adams' memorandum on our pp. 169-170,
ending with the entry of Dr. Porter's death in 1833. Pp. 270-
297, blank; p. 298, notes about a legacy; pp. 299-302 are
wanting, probably by error in numbering the pages. P. 303,
note of a legacy ; pp. 304-6, blank. Pp. 307-314, accounts,
A.D. 1759-1774, mostly about Col. Lamb's bequest. Pp.
315-6, blank ; pp. 317-18, accounts of 1759. Pp. 319-464,
blank.
With page 465 begin 34 pages not numbered, of baptisms
and burials, written in double columns. We print the bap-
vi CITY DOCUMENT No. 114.
tisms, 1641-1688, on pp. 114-142, and the burials for the
.same period on pp. 170-187.
Then come 5 pages of persons owning the covenant, 1700-
1750, printed on pp. 143-146 ; then the note by Rev. O.
Peabody, printed on p. 146 ; then 7 pages blank ; then
pages numbered 519-525, blank; lastly, p. 526, Index.
We have been thus particular in describing the contents of
the volume, as it was found inexpedient to print it continu-
ously. Like all such books, entries were made at random,
and it seemed best, in printing, to correct the arrangement.
If the present members of the church will print the few
pages of church votes and accounts, they can feel sure that
this invaluable record will be certain of preservation.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. WHITMORE,
WILLIAM S. APPLETON,
Record Commissioner*.

1 1643, month 8 day 29. Robert Potter was excomvnicate, his
sins wr first in the tims of mris Hutchinson, wn divers of or Church
wr seduced to familesme & scizme, he was of theire side & com-
pany, & so fild wth them as y* he departed to the Ila'd rathr then
would forsake them, & being there he refused to heare the church
who had lovingly sent after him : secondly for that he was now
tossed wth othr winds of new doctrine forsakeing the Hand & joyn-
ing wth Gorton & y* not only in his heresys but also in his hereti-
call blaspheamous & rep'chfull writings and publikly owned them in
Court, & maide himselfe guilty of all those wicked ways :
There happened (by Gods p'vidence) a dreadful example of God's
judgment this yeare vpon one Willia Frankling who belonged to
Boston towne, & take Mr Ting his farme above muddy river be-
longing to Boston ; But he spent his sab: at or towne being neerer ;
& after a season desired to joyne to or church: & had app' bation so
to doe, & was 'received.
But Satan p'sently did enter into him & having a boy whom he
had bought some j'ears time & p'ving sick & naughty ; alter he
was joyned to the church he grew more passionate, cruel & feirce
against him, though he had bene sharpe afore, yet vuknowne or
vndisposed to vs, but now he grew out-raigeous, so yi by sundry
cruel strips & othr kind of ill vseage the boy dyed vnder his rigor-
ous hand, and y4 (by a strange p'vidence of God &his own folly) at
Boston, as if God ment to bring him on the stage for an example
to all oth's for wch sin that day mouth yi he was admitted he was
excomunicated & though much paines were taken to have brought
him to repentance & reconciliation to the church, yet all in vaine
he p'testing p'tly to deny & p'tly to mine his cruel actions towards
the boy so y1 in y* estate .he was executed at Boston as publick

1644. A strange p'vidence of God fell out at Boston where a
peece of Iron in a dung cart, one was smote into the head & brains
of the daughter of Jakob Eliot deakon of the Church & brought
forth some of the braines ; and after more of the braines came forth,
& yet the Lord cured the child, the braines lying next the skin in
that place.
Soon after that one william Curtis of Roxbury was cast off from
a cart of loggs vnto the ground wth such violence, y* his head & one
side of his face were bruised, blood gushed out of his eare, his braine
was shaken, he senseless divers days, yet by degres thro' Gods
mercy he recovered his senses, yet his cheeke drawne awry & p'alitik,
but in a quarter of a yeare, lie was pretty well recovered, to the
wonder of all men.
1645. Toward the end of the first month call'd march ; there
happened (by Gods p'vidence) a very dreadfull fire in Roxbury
streete ; none knoweth how it was kindled, but being a feirce wind,
it suddenly p' vailed. And in this mans house was a good p't of
the Countrys magazine of powder of 17 or 18 barrels ; wch made the
people, y* none durst come to save the house or goods till y* none
durst come to save the house or goods till y* was blowen vp, & by
that time the fire had taken the barnes & outhousing (wch were
many & great) so y* none were saved.
In this fire were strang p'servations of Gods p'vidence to the
neighbors & towne, for the wind at first stood to cary the fire to
othir houses ; but suddenly turned & cary edit fro' all other houses ;
only carying it to the barns and out housing thereby. & it was a
feirce wind, & thereby drove the vehement heat fro' the neighbour
houses, wch in a calmer time would by the x'y lieate neve bene set
on fire.
But above all the p'servation of all people fro* hurt & other houses
fro' fire at the blowing vp of the powder many being in greate
danger yet none hurt, & sundry houses set on fire by the blow &
yet all quenched, through Gods rich mercy in Christ.
1645. about the 16th of 5* month was this anagra sent to mr
Dudley -then Govnor by some namelesse author.

This yeare we. had sundry strange & p'digeous signes, a storme
of haile at Boston wr the stones were as big or bigger than muskett
bullets, and fell terribly.
The week after the like was at Dedha:', wr some were in fash'on
like cross barr canon shott, oth" like musket bullets, there was
ROXBURY CHURCH RECORDS. 189
also a feirce hirricane at Brantree soone after. The Narragansets
resolved a warr y* yeare, but through mercy a peace was made.
Daulny y* yeare tooke La Tours Fort.
Mr Hankins & anothr ship, great vessels both cast away at
Spaine. The country suffered many losses at sea, at least £10000
in lesse then 2 years besids many lives, yea some think twenty, or
thirty thousand pound losse.
This winter we had much sicknesse at Roxbury & greater mor-
tality then euer we had afore, in so short a time, 5 dyed in 8 days
& more followed, as appeareth in the record yroff ; W™ Curtis who
had that dreadful fall the year afore, excommun'd but upon his
repentance received again. Yet this mercy the Lord shewed N.E.
this yeare, y* the Iron wrks were brought to p'fection & tryall
p'veing excellent well.
This yeare yr was also a great scarcity of wine in the winter, wch
had not so beoe of 3 yeares afore, it Was a gracious awakening the
land, to conside1" of the excesse y' hath here bene, that way.
1646. This yeare arose a great disturbance in the country by
such as are called the Petitioners a trouble raised by Jesuited
agents to molest the peace of the churches & Com. w.
Gorton found favor in England, haveingnone to informe against
him what he was, but Mr Winslow was sent over whom the Lord
direct, protect, & prosper.
A synod was held this yeare at Cambridg, & adjourned to the
sumer following, after some questions were discussed.
This yeare about the end of the 5l month, we had a very strang
hand of God vpon vs, y* vpon a suddaine, innumerable arrays of
Catterpillers filled the Country all over all the English plantations,
wch devoured some whole meadows of grasse, & greatly devoured
•barly, being the most greene & tender corne, eating off all the
blades & beards, but left the Corne, only many ears they quite eat
of by by ting the greene straw asunder below the eare, so ye barly
was generally halfe spoyled, likewise they much hurt wheat, by
eating the blads off, but wheate had the lesse hurt because it was
a little forwarder then barly, & so harder, & dryer, & they the
lesse medled wth it. As for rie, it was so hard and neere'ripe y*
they touched it not, but above all graines they devoured Sylly oats.
And in some places they fell vpon Indian Corne, & quite devoured
it, in other places they touched it not ; they would goe crosse high-
ways by 1000. much prayer there was made to God about it, wth
fasting in divers places : & the Lord heard, & on a suddaine tooke
ym all away againe in all pts of the country, to the wonderment of
all men ; it was of the Lord for it was done suddainely.
This winter was one o* mildest y* ever we had, no snow all
winter long, nor sharp weathr, but they had long floods at Conec-
ticot, wch was much spoyle to yr corne, in the medows ; we never
had a bad day to goe prch to the Indians all this winter, praised be
the Lord.
1647. This spring we of Roxbury wth some of Dorcheser ven-
tured to sea in a small vessell but the master wanted sufficient
experience, & the vessel overmasted & was over-sett, & many
weeks after came whole allmost, ashore to shew the error of men
190 CITY DOCUMENT No. 114.
to goe to sea so rawly : many mr cast away in her, mri8 stoughtons
eldest sonne, mr Howards Eldest sonne wth many others.
This spring we heard p'bable tidings of New haven ship wch
either was over sett, or foudered at sea, she was too tendersided,
& therefore its to be feared she over sett, a very sad blow was y*
to N. E. to loose so many at once, of y* to N. E. to loose so many
at once, of y* note & worth.
At the time appoynted the Synod assembled. But at that time
the hand of the Lord was very strang among vs, by sickness ; it
being ah extreame hot time by thunder weather & vnwholsome.
At the begining "of wcch weathr, we had a great thunder storme
in the night- wch at Dorchester slew 3 oxen in the feild, wthout any
remarkable signe, what it was y* killed them.
Fro 3'* time forward a great sicknesse epidemical, did the Lord
lay vpon vs, so ye the greatest p* of a towne was sick at one, whole
familys sick young & old, scarce any escaping English or Indian.
The maner of thesickneese was a very depe-cold, wth some tinct-
ure of a feaver, & full of malignity, & very dangerous if not well
regarded, by keeping a low diet ; the body solluble, warme, sweat-
ing, &c: at wch time of visitation, blessed mris Winthrop the
Govno™ wife dyed. Also a lusty strong woman of Boston MrU
Stodder ; fondly eat greene peaches, wch set her to so vyolent a
vomiting as y* it burst he-r intralls, as its thought, & so she dyed.
Gods rods are teaching or epidemical sicknesse of colds, doth
rightly by a' divine hand tell the churches what or epidemical spr'l
disease is. Lord help vs to see it, & to have such colds in the
height of the heat of suiner, shews vs, y* in the height of the means
of grace, peace, liberty of ordinances &c. yet may we then fall
into malignant & mortal colds, apostacys, & coolings, &c. This
visitation of God was exceeding strange, it was suddaine, & geu-
erall : as if the Lord had imediatly sent forth an angel, not wth a
sword to kill, but wth a rod to chastize ; & he sraot all, good & bad,
old & young, or as if there were a generall infection of the aer ;

p'mote the motion of a fast, but be refused, & would rather have

some p'ticulnr Churches should call a fast especially because now

next Sab before he should speak wth the Church, we agreed y* the

be the day of fasting and prayre, accordingly y* church appoynted y*
day.

for a day of thanksgiving, we discoursed the po}'nt, we thought y*
God called to fasting & prayre but we could joyne wth or brethren
in a day of thanksgiving, but for the prsent, because the North
church had all ready appoynted next 4* day to be a day of fasting
& prayre, we would stay untill next 5* day, the day after the fast,
& yn we will consider of moving for a day of thanksgiving, & con-
sider what causes to p'pound, yr answr we desired mr Foster to re-
turne to mr Shepard.
10 day some captive women & children wr set downe, shipped to
be sold for slaves.
12 day capt Tom having rendered himself, was brought downe,
a great rage was against him.
14 day I was at the Court, called to be there. Cowel & oth™
testified yei saw him at Sudbury fight, he denyed and saith he was
yn sick & nev. ingaged ags* the English, only when yei were sur-
prized by the enemie a devil put it into his hd. to be willing to goe
wth ym i<novving the rage of the English.
[1676 mo. 4] 15 day I visited the prsoners, everything looketh
w01 a sad face. God frowneth.
19 day Capt Tom was tryed on his life, but I had not the least
knowledg of it, & yTore was not prsent, he was condemed, upon
Cowells oath, & the others.
20 day I went to the prson to comfort ym I dealt faithfully wth
him, to confesse if wr true, wroff he is accused & for wch he is con-
demned. I believe he sayth the truth.
The same 20 day was Court at charlstowne, thither the Gov'no*
went to keepe Court, because they want magistrates in ye county
two being dead, & a 3d left out.
There yei did appoynt the day of thanksgiving, to be held the 5*
day seavennight after, viz. on the 29* of this month.
21 day was the fast at the North church, where we saw a mighty
pTsenc & assistanc of the spirit of grace. mr Allins prayre & mr
Math's prayre & sermon w" sad p'phesys to sick sick new Eng-
land.
afore the worship began I visited to p'soners & after it was done,
I went to the Gov'nor & intreated y1 Capt Tom might have liberty
to p've y' he was sick at the time wn the fight was at Sudbury, &
y' he was not their, it might not be, but he did expresse how bad a

man Tom was. I told him, y* at the great day he should find y*
christ was of anothe* mind, or words to y* purpose, so I dep'ted.
22 Boston lecture, afore sermon the marshal gave me a paper y*
is the printed ordr for the day of thanksgiving, & after sermon he
hurried away the p'soners to execution. I accompany11 him to his
death, on the Ladder he lifted up his hands & said, I did never lift
up hand against the English, nor was I at sndbury. only I was
willing to goe away wth the enemise y* surprised us. \Vn the ladder
was turned he lifted up his hands to heaven pray re wise & so held
ym till strength failed, & yn by degres yei sunk downe.
mr Stoughton & mr Bulkly were sent to P^ngland to agent for the
Country. Lord p'ty ym !
month 9, day 26 the x'n bra in Dublin in Ireland sent a gracious
gift of charity to relive such as suffered in or late warr, the ship
arrived y* day at night the master was at Boston on the Sabboth.
day 27. next morning a dreadtull fire broke forth in Boston,
wch consumed many dwelling houses & many rich shops & ware-
houses, & the north meeting house, in 2 hours time, by reason of a
vry feirce wind, the history wroff I leave to othrs to describe, but
this is observable y* so much p'visions was consumed, & so many
pore aded to such as were made pore by the war, y* (though the
gift was only dispenced according as it was given to such as wr
made pore by the warr) yet the seasonablenesse of their charity was
very much magnifyed, and a crowne of beauty was set upon the
head of their charity thereby.
So soone as we condescended to impr've or praying Indians in
the warr, fro y* day forward we allwayes p'sp'd untill God pleased
to teare the rod in peeces, p'ly by conquest, ptly by theire sicknesse
& death, & hath brought us peace, praised be his name. But no
sooner was y* rod broken, p'sently the Northeastern warr broke
forth the history whereoff I leave to others to relate.
God also drew forth anothr rod upon or backs in epidemical sick-
nesse wch tooke away mau3T of us. And yet for all this it is the
frequent complaint of many wise & godly y1 litle reformation is to
be scene of or cheife wrath p'vokiug sins, as pride, covetousnesse,
auimositys, p'sonal neglecte of gospeliziug or youth, & of gospeliz-
ing of the Indians &c. drinking houses multiplyed, not lessened,
quakers openly tolerated.
1677, month 2, about the 10* of this month Boston was much in-
dangered, by a chimny going on fire, in a very windy day, but the
Lord did succeed the iudeavors of men, so y* it was quenched,
about the middle of this month a blazing star appeared in the east.
The Indian war now about to finish, wherein the praying Indians
had so eminent an interest in the recording whereoff I thought not
my selfc so fitting. I desisted fro this work of recording p'ticular
matters, & knowing y' it was comited to othrs I declined it, but
now on 2d thought I blame my selfe for it, Lord p'don all my
many omissions, the successe of or Indians was highly accepted
wth the souldiers, & yei now welcomed where evr yei met ym yci had
ym to the ordinarys, made ym drink, & bred yrby such an habit to
love strong drink, it p'ved an horrible snare unto us. yei learned
so to love strong drink y* yei would spend all yr wages & pawne
196 CITY DOCUMENT No. 114.
any they had for rumb or any strong drink ; so drunkenesse in
creased & quarreling fighting & were the sad effects of strong
drink. Praying to God was quenched, the younger generation
being debauched by it, and the good old generation of the first
beginers gathered home by death. So y* Satan imp'ved ys op'tun-
ity to defile, debase, & bring into contempt the whole work of
praying to God. a great apostasy defiled us. And yet through
grace some stood and doe stand, and the work is on foot to this day,
praised be the Lord, when the Indians were hurried away to an
Iland at half an hours warning, pore soules in terror yei left theire
goods, books, bibles, only some few caryed yr bibles, the rest were
spoyled & lost. So y* wn the wares wr finished, & yci returned to
yr places yei wr greatly impov'ished, but yei especially bewailed yr
want of Bibles, y8 made me meditate upon a 2d imprssion of o*
Bible, & accordingly tooke pains to revise the first edition. I also
intreated mr John Cotton to help in y* work, he having obtained
some ability so to doe. he read over the whole bible, & whatever
doubts he had, he writ ym downe in order, & gave yra to me, to try
ym & file ym over among or Indians. I obtained the favor to re-
print the New testam4 & psalmes, but I met wth much obstruction
for reprinting the old testam', yet by prayre to God, Patience &
intreatye, I at last obteined y' also, praised be the Lord.
RECORDS OF REV. SAMUEL DANFORTH.
[NOTE. — Rev. Samuel Danforth, M.A., second son of Nicholas Danforth.,
of Cambridge, Mass., was born in Framingham, co. of Suffolk, England, in
September, 1G26. He came to New England with his father, in 1634, his
mother having died when the son was three years old. He graduated at
Harvard College in 1643, in the same class with the Rev. Samuel Mather, son
of the Rev. Richard Mather, of Dorchester. He was made a freeman in 1647,
and on the 24th of September, 1650, was ordained as colleague to the Rev.
John Eliot, pastor of the First Church in Roxbury. Mr Danforth married
Mary Wilson, daughter of the Rev. John Wilson, of Boston, Nov. 5, 1651.
They had twelve children, two of whom were ministers of the gospel, John,
who settled at Dorchester, and Samuel at Taunton. Rev. Samuel Danforth,
the father, in addition to his services as a minister, was of some note as an
astronomer, mathematician, and poet. For several years he published
almanacs. John Farmer states that he had seen "those from 1646 to 1649,
inclusive," and that " some of them are valuable for the chronological tables
at the end." The ministry of Mr. Danforth continued twenty-four years. He
died Nov. 19, 1674, at the age of 48. His colleague Eliot, who outlived him
more than fifteen years, said, " My Brother Danforth made the most glorious
End that ever I saw!" The widow of Mr. Danforth married Joseph Rock,
or Ruck, of Boston, where she died, Sept. 13, 1713, in the eighty-first year of
her. age. See REGISTER, vii. 317; American Quarterly Register, viii. 135-
