Family of Albree.
We can trace this Medford family to Nassau, in the Island of New Providence, thecapital of the
Bahamas. In 1672, the English government sent .Mr. Collingworth to superintend the settlement
of that island and its chief city b\ Englishmen. The attempt succeeded but imperfectly ; because
the coasts were infested with pirates, and the Spanish were moved bj jealousy to check English
power. Mr. Collingworth, after a few years, resigned his office in despair; and the govern-
tppointed Mr (.'lark governor of the island, and gave him means tor sustaining himself.
The early English settlers wire selected for their energy and enterprise; and they fixed on
Nassau as their central port. The place grew and flourished; but its Spanish enemies were
numerous and bloodthirsty. They made a sudden and warlike descent upon it. and cap-
tured the brave Clark; ami, in order to show their future intention-, the) " roasted the Eng-
alive." In one of these barbaric assaults, in 1G99, the unoffending inhabitants
hi to the sword; and two little children were that day made orphans. One was
named John Albree, who was born in 1688; and the other was his sister, Elizabeth, win. was
three years younger. The brother fled with hi- Bister to Beek protection in a Boston vessel,
which was there for cargo. The captain knew that the tragic story of the children was true;
and, witli the characteristic warmth of a sailor's heart, he took the weeping orphans to his
arms, ami nil. red to bring them to Boston and provide tor them. They accepted, but wished
Something from their father's house. The captain went to the house; hut could find

I. oh in the year 1700, John Ubree and Elizabeth Albree arrived in Boston, and were ten-

taught to labor; and, when John was fourteen years old, he was indented as an apprentice,
. to a weaverin Maiden. [lis master found him a silent and thoughtful boy,
and made him a good weaver. His sister, at her own request, became an inmate of his mas-
amily. These children annually received, from an unknown hand in New Providence,
generous gifts of raw cotton and fruits This cotton hail Seeds in it; and a gin was Bent with

which st l mi the -pnt now occupied bj the bouse of Mr. Thatcher Magoun, jun. His sister
became his housekeeper. In May, 1711. he married a near relative of Governor Belcher,—
Miss i. tie, of Boston. When his first child was burn, he wished t.. have it bap-

above, m. Sarah Peirce, of Medford, Aug. 18, 1724.
1 BROOKS, THOMAS, the first of the name in New England,
came, it is supposed, from Suffolk, England, and settled in
Watertown, where lie had a lot assigned him, on the main road,
in 1631. He was made a freeman in 1636; and, two years
afterAvards, his name, which had disap] eared from the Water-
town records, is to be seen on those of Concord, where he was
constable in 1638. He settled in this latter town, and owned
larye estates there; in consequence, he was appointed to the
various town-offices. In 1660, he, with his son-in-law, Timothy
"Wheeler, bought lour hundred acres of land in Medford, for four
hundred and four pounds sterling, which he owned at the time of
his death. His farm in Medford was bought of Edward Collins,
and thus probably a part of the great Cradock estate. He sold his
farm in Concord, Oct. 22, 1664; and he died there, May 21,
1667. His wife was Grace , who died May 12, 1664. His
children were —
1- 2 Joshua, b. freeman, 1652; m. Han. Mason, of Watertown.

rited some land lying east from the Wear Bridge. His house
was situated about mid- way between the bridge and the Lowell
• Kailroad, immediately in front of the Woburn Road. It was torn
down, in 1779, by his great-grandson, Samuel. He died July
29, 1696, aged 64 ; and his second wife, Hannah, died Mar. 10,

It is my belief that these children all d. young, not being mentioned in his will. There was
a George Oradock, of Boston, who is said by lluchiuson to have been a grandson of the
governor. However, as the historian seems to be in error in the same paragraph in confusing
the brother and nephew of Mathew, I prefer the authority of the English heralds, who men-
tion no descendants of the governor. Samuel, the brother of Mathew, had Samuel, Mathew,
and Zachary ; of whom Samuel was rector of North Cadbury, and d. Oct. 7, 1706, aged 86. On
the death of his father's cousin, he succeeded to the estate at Wiekham Brook, which remained
in the possession of his descendants. He published a work called " Knowledge and Practice;
or a Plain Discourse of the Chief Things necessary to be known, believed, and practised iu
order to Salvation. Useful for private families." I have a copy of the third edition, printed
in London, 1673. It is a very curious and learned collection of texts and comments. There is
also a funeral sermon extant, preached on his death by Samuel Bury, printed in 1707. There
were several other families of this name: one settled at Cradock Hall, in Richmond, co. York;
another at Husband's Bosworth ; another at Glanmorganshire (descended from Caradoc ap Yuir
ap Ivor, lord of Dyfed); and a fourth is recorded iu Burke's "Commoners." The name is a
very ancient one, and occurs in the ballads concerning King Arthur. [See Percy's " Reliques."

ELIOT, MARY, widow of Francis, of Braintree, d. Jan. 17, 1697.
She was mother-in-law of Deacon John Whitmore ; and her husband was probably a near rela-
tive of the apostle to the Indians. My reasons for this surmise are : 1. That one of the brothers
of Kev. John Eliot mentions in his will that he had property in the hands of this Francis, at
Braintree. 2. Edmund Hobart was father of Joshua and of Thomas Hobart. Caleb, son of
this Thomas, m. Mary, dau. of Francis Eliot. Ilis cousin Peter in. Susanna, dau. of Jacob
Eliot, and niece of the apostle Such a coincidence can hardly have resulted without a con-
nection between these families of Eliots.

said to have had large possessions in Haverhill and Methuen •
and, as lately as 1798, Mr. Swan was urged to prosecute his
claims by persons of respectable standing, one of whom, a pub-
lic officer, desired to purchase a part of his claim. From a deli-
cate sense of justice, Mr. Swan and his oldest son firmly refused
to entertain the idea. In March, 1746, he m. Joanna Richard-
son, of Woburn, and had children as below. His house in
Charlestown was burnt by the British ; and he went, with his

I find, in the church records, a copy of the inscription on the Wade Tomb, with the follow-
Ing remark on it : " The following is copied from a communication of Turell Tufts, Esq. ; there
is apparently some error in it. — C. Stetson."
Major Wade's tomb was purchased by the late Ebenezer Hall, andis now in possession of his
children. The old tablet removed by Mr. Hall was of red sandstone, and contained the fol-
lowing inscriptions : —
" Here lyeth interred the body of Major Jonathan Wade, Esquire, who departed this life the
24th of November, anno Doin. 1G89, in the 53J year of his age.
" Also the body of Dorothy Wade, wife to said Jonathan Wade, Esquire, daughter of Hon-
ourable Thomas Dudley, Esquire, deceased the 1st of November, 1G38, in the 40th year of her
age.
"Also the body of Dudley Wade, son of said Jonathan Wade, Esquire; and
" Also the body of Dorothy Wade, daughter of the said Jonathan Wade, Esquire.
"And Elizabeth Wade, his last wife, who was born the 7th of February, 1637, and deceased
the month of June, 1688." [This last date was 1678.]
[Here follows the place for two names, illegible.]
" Here lies interred the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Wade, daughter of the Honourable Jonathan
Wade, Esquire, and Mrs. Elizabeth, his wife, who departed this life August 19, 1721, aged 34
years."

The foregoing are all that can be found on our Medford records ; but there
are two branches probably connected, which I desire to record.
Benjamin Willis m. Ann Gammell, of Medford, and was proba-

Benjamin (13). He was killed at Louisburg, leaving a son, —

Hon. William Willis has kindly furnished me with these facts, and is better

As to the strangers who are mentioned on our records, I find that Adrian
Lubert Andriesse, of Batavia, was born in Boston, Feb. 9, 1799, and baptized
at Medford, July 7, 1805. Charles Dabney's child, which Mr. Albree had to
nurse, was baptized July 4, 1742, and named Charles.
Of those not of American birth or parentage, I find, besides the slaves and
their children, that Jacob Auld, one of the " Scotch-Irish," had, by wife Ann,
a daughter, Margaret, born Mar. 19, 1750.
There seems to have been some Irish families as early as 1745 ; but these
are named in the foregoing list.
There remains one class of unwilling settlers in our town, — the Acadians ;
or French Neutrals, as they are called on our records. Of these exiles from
Grand Pre, three arc mentioned on the records, as follows : —
Eunice, wife of John- Degkusiia, was bapt. Feb. 12, 1744.
Johx Lb Bosquet, and Sarah, his wife, had —
Joseph, b. Jan. 12, 1781.
Rebecca, „ Jan. 19, 1783.
John Tebodo had, by Ann his wife, —
Ann, b. July 4, 1757.
Elizabeth, „ Nov. 1, 1759.
Joseph, „ Feb. 24, 1762.
The name of Le Bosquet, preserved in recollection by the Le Bosquet
house, has been corrupted into Burkit.
Of the others, I know not whether they removed from town, or whether
any descendants yet remain.

,, 42. Mr. Savage declines the responsibility of more than the early part of the record of
the Royalls.
„ 42. The wife of Isaac Hoyall (No. 2-5) was buried from the house of Dr. Oliver, at
Dorchester; which strengthens the probability of her first marriage. He had a
daughter Elizabeth, born 1741 ; died July 9, 1747.
,, 42. Colonel Royall (No. 5-11) had a daughter, who married George Erving, of Boston.
He (Colonel R.) died 1781; and his wife died 1770.
„ 46. Rev. Zechariah Symmes had twelve children ; names as given in their place.
,, 54. There is no probability, considering the dates, that James (No. 246) was son of
Peter (No. 1).
„ 59. Lydia, wife of Daniell Turell (No. 1), died June 23, 1659.
,, 59. Daniel was captain 1683, not 1046.
,, 60. Hezekiah Usher (No. 1) married, first, Frances . Hannah (No. 5) was daugh-
ter by second wife, and was born Dec. 29, 1653. He married his second wife,
Nov. 2, 1652.
,, 60. Hezekiah (No. 1-2) married Bridget Hoar, 1686, and had no children. All those
under that record — viz., Nos. 15, 16, 17 —belong to Hezekiah No. 1.
John Usher married Elizabeth Slidgett not Sidgett.
Jonathan Wade (No. 1) had Mary, baptized October, 1663, who married William
Symonds ; also daughter Sarah. Prudence (No. 5) married, second, Rev. Seaborn
Cotton.
Jonathan (No. 1-2) had Deborah, baptized March 24, 1667 ; Prudence, June 6, 1669 ;
Catharine, Aug. 27, 1671, — died soon; Catharine, June 22, 1673; Susanna, Juno
10, 1677; Dorothy, July 10, 1081; all before Dudley (No. 2-8).
I am authorized to say that John Willis was very probably the same as No. 3-11.

The earliest mentioned person by the name of Whitmore I hare yet met
with is John of Stamford, who was living in Wethersfield in 1639. He was
killed by the Indians in 1648, leaving a son, John. I have some reason to
suspect that he was the father of all of the name here, and that the following
will give about the record of his children's births: —
Thomas, b. 1615 ; the ancestor of the Wetraores.
Ann, „ (?) 1621 ; m. George Farrar, Feb. 16, 1644.

phen Francis, divided the Collins Farm between them; Caleb llobart having
previously sold John W. one-fourth of this estate. In addition to this land,
he owned the house shown on a preceding page, and also land in Billerica
and Charlestown. He was in service, under Major Swayne, against the Indians
at Saco; and his wife petitioned the General Court that her husband might
be restored to her and her three infant children. The fall after his return,
he was engaged in purchasing lands and building a house. His funeral
sermon was by Mr. Turell, from Acts xxi. 1G.

John d. Mar. 26, 1753. His widow d. Mar. 27, 1783, aged 96. He was at
first a housewright, but afterwards went into business with his brother. He
owned much property in Medford ; and his oldest son, John, having removed
to Bedford, he resided there chiefly in his old age, and was so liberal a bene-
factor to the church as to be mentioned with gratitude on the records. His
daughters all left issue; and one of them, Susanna, left descendants, now
living in Lexington, by the name of Chandler, who still preserve some relics
of their ancestor. The family of Lane, when it emigrated from England, left
property there, the rents of which were paid to the heirs, John Whitmore's
descendants included, until within fifty years, when the heirs, being nume-
rous, sold the estate, and divided it.

APPENDIX.
John Whitmore was of Wethersfield, Conn., in lC40,as, in February of that year,
Richard Westcoat, for misleading him, was fined ten shillings. In 1041, he removed
to Stamford, with others, who settled under the direction of Rev. Richard Dunton,
and had been sojourners at Watertown, Mass. A list of his farms in Wethersfield is
here given: —
The second month and fifth day, 1641, the lands of Jo. "Whitmore, lying in
Wethersfield, on Connecticut River.
One piece whereon his house and barn standeth, containing twelve acres and half,
more or less: bounds and abut against the Common, or Landing-place, and against
the house-lot of Robert Batts, west, and the meadow of Francis , east; the sides
against the lands of Rob. Batts and Tho. Curtice, north, and the lands of Tho. ,
Francis f Mr. Denton, Jo. , and Tho. Coleman, south.
One piece of meadow and swamp lying in the Great Meadow, containing three
acres three roods, more or less: bounds abut against the highway, west, and Connec-
ticut River, east; the sides against the meadow of Mr. Evarts, south, and Rich. ,
north.
One piece lying in Beaver Meadow, containing two acres, more or less : bounds
abut against the highway, north, and the lands of Mr. Talcott, south; the sides
against the lands of Fran. Horton, east, and Sam. Smith, west.
One piece lying in the AVet Swamp, containing four acres, more or less: bounds
abut against a way leading to Beaver Meadow, west, and the swamp of Gor. Hub-
bard, east; the sides against the land of Mr. Evarts, north, and Mr. Sherman,
south.

APPENDIX.
One other piece also lying in the West Field, containing fifteen acres and a half,
more or less: bounds abut against tho highway, south, and Hartford Bounds, north;
the sides against tho lands of Robt. Abott, east, and John Jesiopt, west.
In 1043, he was killed by the Indians; and the following account is transcribed
from Hazard's State Papers, p. 127: —
[1049.] "The Commissioners for New Haven informed the rest of tho Commission-
ers, that, in or about October last, John Whitmore, one of the deputies of Stanford, a
peaceable, inoffensive man, not apt to quarrell, or provoke any of the Indians,
going forth to seek his cattell, returned not according to expectation, nor could be
found by the English that sought him; but, quickly after, the son of a Sogamore
who lives near Stanford came into the towne, and told the English that John Whitmore
was murdered by one Torquattoes, an Indian ; and, to prove it, that Torquattoes had
some of his clothes, and particularly his shirt, made of cotton-linnen. Herovpon the
English and some Indians went into the woods to take the murthcrcd body for buriall;
but, though they bestowed much time and labore, could not find it. Divers of the
English at Stanford suspected the Sogamore's son to be either the author or tho
accessory of this murder, but had not satisfying grounds to seize and charge him.
" About two or three months after, Uncas coming to Stanford, calling the Indians
thither, and inquiring after the murdered body, the fore-mentioned Sogamore's son,
and one Rohoron, another suspected Indian, led some of the English, and some of
Uncas his men, to the place where the murdered body, or the relicts of it, lay. The
carcase was brought to Stanford: the Sogamore's son and Rohoron fell on trembling,
and thereby confirmed the suspicion of the English, and wrought suspicion in some
of tho Mohegin Indians, so that they said those two Indians were nought, meaning
they were guilty.
" John Whitmore's widow, both by messengers and letters, presses for justice ; and
other Indians grow more insolent, and censure tho English for want of due prosecu-
tion in such a case."
A General Courto in Hartford, the 13th of Sept., 1049: —
" This Courte, taking into serious consideration what may bee done, according to
God, in way of revenge of the bloude of John Whitmore, late of Stanford, and well
weighing all circumstances, together with the carriages of the Indians (bordering
therevppon) in and about the premisses, doe declare themselves that they doc judge it
lawfull, and according to God, to inako warr vppon them." — Pub. Records of Conn.,
p. 197.
The following affidavit is on the Stamford Records: —
" March 7, 1049. — The testimony of John Whitmore his wife, being no ... .
Goodwife Whitmore affirmeth yt her husband Bold to her son John .... five acres
land on yo plane . . . ."
Another, from the same source (both being defective and partly illegible on tho
records), says, —
" . . . . Yt Rro. Whitmore told him he had sold his son John five acres, in yo East
Field, <>n ye playne; and, if it did not como to so much, he would make it up in ye
other plain, and so make it good: it lay in yt plain; and this land was Ro. Fisher's,
by gift from yo Cortc."
This John Whitmore, jun., mentioned in tho preceding, is no doubt tho one who
had a dau., Sarah, born at Hartford, Dec. 16, I'

And many others. His descendants spell their name Wetmore.
Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge, owned lands there, near the Plain ; near Charles
River, by the Boston line; in Charlestown, near Minottamie; near Dunbarke's Mea-
dow; and also in Medfurd and Lexington. His house stood on the dividing line
between Cambridge and Lexington, and is mentioned in the act of division. He
served in the Indian wars, under Major Willard, as the Treasurers' books witness.
His name, with his wife's, stands on a petition in favor of an old woman charged with
being a witch; hence he can hardly have been of the extreme Puritan party, although
a member of the church. He was, however, a selectman, &c, in the town, and his
name is often to be met with on the deeds, wills, &«., of the early settlers in that
town. An account of his wife's family is in Jackson's History of Newton, Mass. His
will is here inserted: —
" After the payment of my just debts, I do give unto my loving wife the use and
enfeofment of my whole estate, in housing, lands, and movables (excepting that part
of my land by me already given unto my son Samuel), during her widowhood, for
her livelihood, and for the bringing up of my three youngest children, and for the
expending of what learning she shall be able upon them. But, if she marry to
another man, my will is that she shall have thirty pounds out of my movable estate,
to dispose of as she shall see meet. To my two youngest sons, Thomas and Joseph, I do
give my housing, barns, and my part of the new mill, with all my lands thereunto
belonging; excepting that part of the land by me set out and delivered to my son
Samuel, which shall be the full of his portion, he not to share in any after-division of
any part of my estate to be equally divided between them. They to enter upon the
possession thereof at the age of twenty and one years of age, if their mother be not
then living; but if she be then living, and continue my widow, she shall not be dis-
possessed of any part of my estate during her life. Also my will is, that what of my
do remain at my wife's decease or marriage, which of them shall first happen,
with what each of my children have already had being added thereuntg, shall be
equally divided among them, to each an equal share. My two youngest sons to have
the housing and lands as aforesaid, and to pay out of them, to the rest of my children,
that which shall be accounted due to them, as followeth: My eldest son, Francis, his
part to be due him two full years after the possessing of my youngest sun of the hous-
ing and lands as aforesaid; the second, two years after; the third, two years after;
and so, successively, till all be paid. To my grandchildren of Daniel Markham,
which he had by my daughter Elizabeth, I do give to each of them twenty shillings
out of my estate. Also I do nominate my loving friends, William Locke, sen., of
Woburn, and Francis Moore, of Cambridge, to bo my executors of this my last
will.
" Sth m. 8th day, 1GS5."
The estate was valued at £305. 9s. — Middlesex Recs., liber 6, p. 270.
96 APPENDIX.
The petition of Rachel Whitmore, before mentioned (see John, No. 3), is as fol-
lows: —
To the Hon. Simon Bradstreet, Esq., Governor, and the rest of the Honorable Magis-
trates now sitting in Boston, the humble petition of Rachell Whitmore, wife of John
Whitmore.
Whereas, your petitioner's husband was impressed into the countrye's service
against the Indian enemy, and is now with Major Swayne at Newechawanick, and
your petitioner and her two children are very weak and ill, and unable to help our-
selves, and do any thing for our relief and the rest of the family, as severall of the
neighbors can and have informed your honors, —
Doth therefore humbly request the favor from your honors, that her husband, John
Whitmore, may be dismissed the present service; and that your honors would please
to pass your order for the same, that he may return to his sick family ; and your peti-
tioner shall, as in duty bound, ever pray, &c.
Rachel Whitmore.
Mass. Records, lib. 35, p. 34.
Francis Whitmore (No. 1) died Oct. 12, 1G85: his birth is ascertained, by two
affidavits on file at Cambridge, to have been in 1625.
Concerning the three families of Whitmore, Wetmore, and Whittemore, all
researches show the present bearers of the first name to be descended from Francis
Whitmore, of Cambridge; of the second name, from Thomas Whitmore, of Middle-
town; of the last name, from Thomas Whittemore, of Maiden. I regard the first
two as descended from the same stock ; but the third is, and has been, a distinct name
in England. It would be useless, at present, to speak of any families of the name now
or formerly in England; but it may be worth while to note that the mode of spelling
was Whitmore as far back as 1200.
In conclusion, in submitting this sketch of a family record to my cousins, near and
remote, I must beg them to prove their forgiveness of all errors herein contained, by
sending me the materials to correct them, and to complete the account of all the
descendants of Francis AVhitmoke.
