ASPINWALL NOTAEIAL EECORDS.
THIS volume contains the notarial records of William
Aspinwall, Recorder of the Suffolk County Court from
November 13, 1644, until October Jf, 1651.
He was the second to hold the office, the first
being Stephen Winthrop, the fourth son of Gov.
John Winthrop, who was Recorder from September
9, 1639 (being appointed by order of the General Court),
until the choice of William Aspinwall, November
13, 1644, at a General Court of Election.
The following account of William Aspinwall was
compiled by the late John T. Hassam, and forms
part of the introduction to Liber X. of Suffolk Deeds,
and by whose kind permission it is here republished.
It should be borne in mind that, according to the
Julian calendar, which was in use at the time, the
legal year began on the 25th of March, so that the date
of the first entry in the records is November 20, 1644.
WILLIAM ASPINWALL.
1644-1651.
William Aspinwall ^probably came in the fleet with
Governor Winthrop. He was of Charlestown1 in 1630,
and of Boston
after 1633. His
name is the tenth
in the list of original members of the First Church
in Boston2 the covenant being dated Charlestown,

August 27, 1630. His wife Elizabeth was the six-
teenth in that list. He was the second in the list of
thirteen who remained inhabitants in Charlestown in
1630. September 28, 1630, he was one of the jury
impanelled to inquire concerning the death at " Mr
Cradocks plantacon " of Austin Bratcher.1 He took
the oath of freeman 2 April 3, 1632.
He was one of the Selectmen of Boston 3 in 1636
and 1637, and was chosen deputy to the General
Court 4 in 1637 in place of Sir Henry "Vane ; but as
he was a supporter of Wheelwright in the " Antino-
mian Controversy," 5 and had signed a remonstrance
in his favor, the Court deposed him from member-
ship by the following order,6 passed November 2,
1637:-
" Mr William Aspinwall being questioned in regard his
hand was to a petition or remonstrance, & he iustified the
same, maintaining it to bee lawfull ; the Court did discharge
him from being a member thereof."
o
By the following order 7 of the same date he was
disfranchised and banished : —
"Mr Willi: Aspinwall being convented for haveing his
hand to a petition or remonstrance, being a seditious libell,
& iustifiing the same, for woh, & for his insolent & turbulent
carriage, hee is disfranchized & banished, puting in sureties
for his departure before the end of the first month next
ensuing.

errors " by the " opinions & revelations of Mr Wheele-
wright & Mrs Hutchinson," he was disarmed by an
order l of the General Court of November 20, 1637.
With others of " ye opinionists," thus disarmed,
disfranchised, and banished, he joined in the move-
ment to found a new colony in Rhode Island, and he
was one of those who, on the 7th day of the 1st
month, 1638, " solemnly in the presence of Jehovah,"
incorporated themselves " into a Bodie Politick "
signing the compact at Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
He was the first Secretary of the infant Colony.
But.his life in Rhode Island was not destined to be
a peaceful one, as the following order,3 passed 7th 12mo
1638-9, shows': -
"Mr. Aspinwall being a suspected person for sedition
against the State, it was thought meet that a stay of the
building of his Bote should be made ; whereupon ye work-
man was forbidden to proceed any further."
And on the 28th 2mo 1639, his shallop was attached
for debt.4
He was in Connecticut in 1642, and was a witness
in the case of George Spencer5 at a General Court
held at New Haven, March 2, 1641-2.
At a General Court held at Boston, October 7,
1641, the following order6 was passed: —
"Willi: Aspinwall hath a safe conduct granted him to
come & satisfy the counsell, &, if they thinke nieete, to stay
till the Generall Court ; if not, hee is to depart till the
Generall Court, & then hee hath liberty to come to the
Genrall Court."

iv INTRODUCTION.
At a General Court held at Boston May 20, 1642,
the following order l was passed : —
" William Aspinwall, upon his petition & cirtifficat of his
good carriage, is restored againe to his former liberty &
freedome."
Governor Winthrop,2 under date of March 27, 1642,
gives this account of it: —
"Mr. William Aspen wall, who had been banished, as is
before declared, for joining with Mr. Wheelwright, being
licensed by the general court to come and tender his sub-
mission, &c was this day reconciled to the church of Boston.
He made a very free and full acknowledgment of his errour
and seducement, and that with much detestation of his sin.
The like he did after, before the magistrates, who were
appointed by the court to take his submission, and upon
their certificate thereof at the next general court, his sentence
of banishment was released."
Having made his peace with the Massachusetts
authorities, his advancement was rapid. At a General
Court of Election held in Boston, September 7, 1643, —
" Mr Willi: Aspinwall is appointed clarke of the writts for
Boston." 3
At a General Court of Election held in Boston,
November 13, 1644,-
" Mr. Aspinwall is chosen Recorder till ye next Cort of
Election ; " *
and on the same day —
"It is ordered, yl Mr Willi: Aspinwall shalbe a publique
notary for this nirisdiction." 5

He joined the Artillery Company 1 in 1643.
The merchants of Boston, attempting to secure a
monopoly of the Indian trade, procured a charter from
the General Court.2 This was granted March 7,
1643-4, in answer to the petition of William Aspin-
wall and six others. Governor Winthrop's account
is as follows : —
" Divers of the merchants of Boston being desirous to dis-
cover the great lake, supposing it to lie in the north west
part of our patent, and finding that the great trade of beaver
which came to all the eastern and southern parts, came from
thence, petitioned the court to be a company for that design,
and to have the trade which they should discover, to them-
selves for twenty-one years. The court was very unwilling
to grant any monopoly, but perceiving that without it they
would not proceed, granted their desire ; whereupon, having
also commission granted them under the public seal, and let-
ters from the governour to the Dutch and Swedish gover-
nours, they sent out a pinnace well manned and furnished with
provisions and trading stuff, which was to sail up Delaware
river so high as they could go, and then some of the com-
pany, under the conduct of Mr. William Aspenwall, a good
artist, and one who had been in those parts, to pass by small
skiffs or canoes up the river so far as they could."3
But Aspinwall and his party were not allowed to
penetrate to the beaver country, the Swedes firing
upon them and the Dutch higher up the river refusing
to allow them to pass.4
But more troubles were in store for him, for at the
second session of the General Court held at Boston
October 14, 1651, the following order5 was passed: —
"In answer to the peticon of John Butten, Benja Ward,
Thomas Matson, Willjam Ludkin, and others of a jury
appointed to serve in the last County Court held at Boston,

in an accon betweene Mr Wra Aspinwall and John Witherden,
the Courte doth order that Mr Aspinwall be convented before
the whole Courte on the morrow, being 23 8m, 1651, to give
answer to such things as are chardged vppon him in this and
Witherdens peticon. The partjes appeared at the time
appointed, and after the Court had fully heard the cawse, and
what both partjes could say, the Court proceeded to judgm111.
Itt is ordered, that henceforth Mr Wm Aspinwall shall be
suspended from excercising the office of recorder or clarke. in
any County Courte, for chardging the Courte and jury to
goe against la we and conscience, making the landlord to pay
rent to the tennant, and shall pay the some of thirty shillings
for the jurjes attendance and entring the peticon, wth fower
shillings for two wittnesses attendance.
" Itt is ordered, that Mr Edward Rawson, present secretary
to the Generall Courte, shall henceforth be recorder for the
county of Suffolke, and that Mr Aspinwall deliuer him all the
records belonging to the sajd county.
" Itt is ordered, that Jonathan Negus, at the request of the
tonne of Boston, shall henceforth be clarke of the writts for
the toune of Boston, in Mr Aspin walls roome, who is to give
him the records of deaths, births, and marrjages, in his
hands, yl belongs to that office."
At the second session of the General Court1 held
at Boston October 26, 1652,
" Mr Nathaniell Souther is appointed publicke notary for
this jurisdiccon, in the roome of Mr Wm Aspinwall, and tooke
the oath suiteable to the place in open Courte."
He addressed the following letter, dated 24: 5mo
1652, to the General Court : 2 —
" May it please yow to consider, that manifould haue beene
the afflictions I haue suffered since I came into this Country,
& it adds vnto them the late order you made that I should
deliver vp my bookes vnto the secretary, but most of all
afflictiue is, that my late troubles haue sprung from brethren.
As for others they doe but theire kind. I justify not my
selfe, but condemne my folly. Yow know it, that Nemo

portion to suffer the more, for that I haue beene yor officer
(most vn worthy I confesse) yet if ever occasion should be ;
be pleased to be tender of yor officers especially of their
names & creditt & suffer them not to be objects of publick
scorne & reproach. If they be godly or ingenuous air
admonition or checke may suffice to redresse any thing
weakly & foolishly done, but if they grow corrupt through
bribes or otherwise vnfaithfull to theire- trust, justice will
require it to make them exemplary, ffor my selfe I haue
little to say (being conscious of many weake & feeble pas-
sadges) only this, I haue desired to be faithfull, & my aime
hath beene the Honor of God & his vice-gerents, the publick
good of the .Country, & private of pticular psons. In refer-
ence to yor late order giue me leave I beseech yow wthout
offence to giue yow an Account why I haue not delivered the
bookes vnto the Secretary, but rather voluntarily chosen to
leave them wth Mr Cotton.
" 1. They are no publick Records, as I take it, nor can be ;
but privat Records of my owne Acts, of wch I could not
otherwise be able at any time to giue Account, nor be able
to discerne any corruption or adulteration that possibly might
be foisted in after the writeings passe my hand, f[or] wch
ends I thought it necessary to keepe such a Register. And
I wanted not the advice of him herein, whom yow all will
owne as a Nursing father to this Colonie whilst he lived.
" 2ndly Vnles it were the practise of other Nations so to
doe, wch I believe it is not, according to that intelligence I
haue had, it will reflect some imputation or suspition of
vnfaithfulnes vppon me to take them away by an order ; &
that will weaken the Credit of the bookes themselves or any
thing to be taken out of them, ffor such as is the Credit of
the pson, such wilbe the creditt of his acts & bookes, & that
is the Reason why the State & Goverment doe putt credit
vppon the pson, by designeing him to such a Cofnon service,
& therefore as they are carefull to choose such psons for that
purpose as are qualifyed, & have variety of tongues (at least
the Latin tongue) so specially they doe take care (or should)
that they be faithfull, in whose truth men may confide.
"3ly It would be prejudiciall both to my selfe, & all
therein concerned to take them away, ffor no man can
safely & effectually attest any thing out of my privat write-
ings but my selfe, nor shall I be able to attest any thing
when my bookes are taken away.
"4ly. Very many things therein, for brevity sake, are

instructions from me can make vse of; they being intended
for my privat vse, & my owne voluntar}r act w'hout instruc-
tions or injunctions from the Generall Court.
" 5ly The most of the things therein conteined relate to
England whither I am going, & hope may be of more use
there, both to the Country & any pticular therein concerned ;
intending the Lord pinitting to make my residence in or
about London; where any may haue easie Recourse for my
attest.

chardge, & the Register therein my owne voluntary & handy

These things considered I did resolve (before yor order) &

of other places to take my bookes wth mee, concluding this
wth my selfe, that as I haue beene & am, so through the help
of Christ I shall remaine cordially affected & tenderly carefull
of the good & welfare of his Israel as any opportunity of
Providence shall present. But lest I should be grievous or
offensiue to yow whom I loue and honour, I haue determined
to leave them in the hands of Mr Cotton, vppon promise of
the Speciall Court, & confidence of yor approbation, that there
they shall remaine vntill yow may vnderstand from Mr Winslow
what is vsuali to be done in such cases of death or removal
of Notary into another Country. By this Accofnodation yor
ends are attained, that any who haue occasion may haue
copies of any writeing by Mr Rawson, if he please hither to
repaire, or if yow judge it vseful and necessary, yow may ap-
point them to be transscribed & returne me mine if advise so

EECOEDS EELATING TO THE EAELT HISTOKY
OF BOSTON
(Formerly called Record Commissioners'1 Reports)
This volume, which is the thirty-second in the series of Bos-
ton Records, contains the notarial records of William Aspinwall
from 1644 to 1651 inclusive. The work was commenced by
William H. Whitmore, Esq., late Registrar of Boston, and com-
pleted with the valuable assistance of Mr. Walter K. Watkins,
the well-known genealogist.

City Registrar.
OLD COURT HOUSE, BOSTON.
LlBBARY OF THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM,
BOSTON, February, 3, 1903.
MY DEAR MR. McGLENEN I
On November 13, 1854, the Trustees of the Athenaeum passed
a vote of thanks to E. Price Greenleaf, Esq., for his gift to the
Library of twenty-nine valuable historical manuscripts. No list
of these can be found, but the collection probably included the
Aspinwall Notarial Book, which was given by him, as shown
by the book-plate, the notarial records of Samuel Tyley (April
2, 1731, to February 28, 1743-4), of Ezekiel Goldthwait (Decem-
ber 2, 1748, to March 11, 1754), and of Goldthwait's cousin
Ezekiel Price (June 1, 1754, to April 25, 1775, and irregularly
to August 22, 1780). They were inherited by Mr. Greenleaf
from his grandfather, Hon. Ezekiel Price.1
Price was a patriotic public man, a shipping and insurance
broker, and notary, whose office afforded a meeting place for
the prominent men of Boston for half a century. Public and
private records, brought together in those unsettled times,
would there find a convenient resting place either for tem-
porary use or for permanent preservation ; in days past officials
upon their retirement not infrequently carried their manuscript
records with them.2 Price acquired many papers while notary
public, a justice of the peace, and a selectman of Boston, but
especially as confidential secretary to Governors Shirley, Pow-
nal, and Bernard, as deputy for the Vice-Admiralty Court, and
as Clerk of the Courts of Sessions and of Common Pleas for
Suffolk County. From time to time he gave manuscripts to the
Massachusetts Historical Society, of which he was a member;
he also republished a sermon on his great grandfather, Ezekiel
Cheever, the schoolmaster, and in other ways showed an interest
in antiquarian matters. At his death, in 1802, his " small library
of books " was left by will to be divided equally between his
grandsons, Thomas and Ezekiel Price Greenleaf. ( Suffolk Wills,

Lib. C., 331). His manuscripts probably fell to Price Greenleaf
upon the fulfilment of this provision of the will.
It is at present impossible to trace the history of the Aspin-
wall Notarial Book before it came into Price's hands. Aspinwall
himself referred to it in 1650 (Book of Possessions, p. 54) as " my
notaries booke." In a letter addressed to the General Court in
1652, Aspinwall said that he intended to leave his records with
Mr. Cotton, " vntill yow may vnderstand from Mr Winslow what
is vsuall to be done in such cases of death or removal of Notary
into another Country." In a postscript he stated his willingness
to turn over his records (although "no publick Records, as I
take it, nor can be, but privat Records of my owne Acts") to
be kept by Mr. Rawson, then Recorder for the County of
Suffolk. Aspinwall's Book of Possessions was described as in
the Secretary's office in 1670 (Suffolk Deeds, Lib. VII., 156), and
in the Recorder's office in 1672 (Boston Record Comm. Reports,
II., 161), but no mention is made of this First Notary's Book in.
the early Suffolk deeds ; a third volume (see Suffolk Deeds,
Lib. VIII., 187) and what appears to be a second volume (ibid.,
Lib. III., 45a) are there referred to. It would seem, therefore,
that this record kept by Aspinwall remained in private keeping,
and passed from hand to hand until Pi- ice received it.1
The book itself, by an outside measurement, is I0f inches
high, 8£ inches wide, and 2J- inches in thickness. The leather
covers have three tooled lines near the edges and a diamond
shaped ornament of gilt in the centre. Near the top in black
are the letters " The Notaries first book Of Records." On the
first page the autograph " Willm Aspinwall " occurs three times,
twice followed by " Notr Publ." The paper has a watermark,2 and
if the design becomes a subject of study, we may at some future
time learn whence came the sheets on which Aspinwall kept
his records.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES KXOWLES BOLTON.
Edward Webster McGlenen, Esq.
1 It Tyley obtained it in 1731 from some earlier notary, it may have passed to Goldtn-
wait and from him to Price. Price's great uncle, Rev. Samuel Cheever, married Ruth
Angler, and William AspinwalPs daughter Hannah married John Angler, but these
facts throw no light on the history of the book.
'The watermark, which is armorial, may be thus described: On a shield sur-
mounted by a crown, quarterly 1st and 4th, three antique crowns, 2 and 1; 2d and 3d,
a lion rampant; and over all an escutcheon charged with what appears to be a quiver.

8. (10) 1645 Mr Willoughbyes answer to Mr Bourne
as followeth. Whereas Francis Willoughby made a ptest
against John Bourne & the Owners of the shipp Indevo*
for not being ready to set sayle by dayes limited & whereas
the said John Bourne made a protest against the said Francis
Willoughby he not being ready, The said Willoughby as the
grounds of his protest & in answer to the said Bournes pro-
test saith as followeth That whereas the ship Indeavo*
ought to have beene ready to take in goods by Charter party
twelve dayes after her arrivall here, wch should have beene
on the day of July, the said shipp was not Delivered of
those goods she brought from England in that time : & when
the said Willoughby uppon the same day sent goods aboard
as by Charter party he was bound, the goods would not be
taken in but were sent on shoare againe, to the damadge of
Mr John Taylor the merch*, there being neither Mr nor Mr8
mate nor any officer to cause them to be taken in. & at that
time there not belonging to the said shipp sixe men ; & when
& afterwards there was goods brought aboard, they were faine
to lye at the shipp syde for want of men to take them in, &
when taken in, they were faine to lye for men to stowe them,
there not belonging to the shipp above ten or fourteene men
at most: sometime the master professing to me he had not fy ve
men; so that besides the length of time in stoweing the
ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS. 13
goods, there was not a spare man to doe anything to her
rigging till she was neere laden, so that the ground of
the shipps not being laden in time limited was no fault of the
said willoughbyes but for want .of men according to Charter
party : And whereas the said Bourne in his answer said, that
the shipp set sail the next day after the Protest, the said
willoughby, doth acknowledge the same : but the said wil-
loughby saith the said Bourne did it on purpose thinking to
save himselfe cleare : when that he had not all his Pvision
on board of beere and bread and fish till the sixth of Septem-
ber, and when it was done he lay till the nienth before he set
saile, his Owners goeing downe either to feast or reckon and
make over their Accounts on the eighth day. And whereas
he saith, shipps use to have fourty eight houres to wood
and water, the said willoughby saith, the shipp was laden com-
pleatly before the said willoughby protested : And whereas
he saith, the Bills of lading were not Psented till the Dayes
were out, the said Willoughby could not take the bills till the
shipp was laden, and the shipp was not laden till the dayes
were out, but the ground was not in the said willoughby as
the reasons above make it evident. This is the true answer
which the said willoughby Psented to me in writeing with
his owne hand the day and yeare above written. /

readie before the day, but by providence were burned. 21?
that they are all now readie. S1^ that none came in Capt

that he is readie to make good all damages wch may be
charged uppon him for any neglect of his. wch answer

25 (8) 1647 Mr Thomas Alcocke, Loueing and kind
brother my love remembered unto you & my sister & all yor
children hoping in God that you are in good health as I &
my children are at this present time now praised be the Lord
for it. Brother the cause of my writeing to you is this, I
heard not from you a greate while until mr Richard Wright
brought me newes that you were well, but he could tell me
nothing concerning my children wch is a great griefe unto
mee. The parting from them was a great griefe unto mee
wch brought me nee re unto death but the Lord in mercy
raised me up againe, blessed be the Lord for his mercie unto
mee, But since mr Wright came over & can tell me no
newes from them, wch is a great griefe unto mee, & I am
afraid that they are not well because it pleased God to take
away my Brother out of this world before they were able to
helpe themselves. wch makes mee the more fearefull that
that they be not so looked unto as if it had pleased Almighty
God that hee had lived, for then he would have beene a
father to them by his pmise unto mee. Yet if they be wth
any of his friends I hope they will use them well for his
sake. Brother my love remembered unto Mrs Alcock & her
children hoping in God that they are in good health the Lord
revive his mercie unto them. And brother my earnest desire
is that you would be pleased to doe so much for mee as to send
mee a tre from you of them, & who they be wtb, & what
trade they be, I should be very glad to see you or them if it
might please God that it might be soe; if not, I must be
content as well as God will give mee leave. The Lord in
mercie to blesse us all & give us all grace to serve him as
we ought to doe,

Pascataqs in New England there to take in such freight as

said Henry Katt made a Dilatory answer, that he would
follow his Charter partie & he would do no more, wch was
all the answer I could understand from him. Where uppon
at the request of the sd merch*, I the sd Notary did ptest &
by these prsents do protest against the sd Henry Katt for all

his default, whether by hyre of another ship to pforrne the

^ Fid' sixth day of the fourth month
. called June in the yeare of or Lord 1&A1
according to the Account of England.
The Companie of the Seaman belonging to the Shipp
Planter of London, being therein the harbour at Boston
aforesaid, brought an action as well against Robert Risbie
Master of the sd Ship, & Thomas Gainer Merch* of the
same, as against the shipp itselfe, for wages due to them for
theire service done in the sd shipp, for divers months then
past: wch being matter of Account the Court appointed
Auditors, viz4, Mr Duncan Auditor Generall, Mr Allen &
Mr Addington to examine the Ships accounts &c., & to cer-
tifie the Court.
The returne accordingly was made as followeth, viz4, that
there was due to the sd Master Robert Risbie one hundred &
eight pounds; To Mr Robert ffen one of his mates ninety
one pounds: To Joshua Maid another of his mates fourty
two pounds eight shillings: To Richard Holt Boatswaine
fourty six pounds eight shillings: To John Carman Gunner
fifty two pounds seven shillings: To Leonard Sergeant
Chirurgeon fifty foure pounds & to the rest of the seamen
according to theire severall pportions, amounting in all to
seven hundred & eight pounds seven shillings & a penny.
Wch being given in evidence to the Jury, they found for the
plaintiffs theire severall & respective wages, & costs of
Court, & Judgment was eritred accordingly, & Execution
granted against the said Risbie & Gainer & the said
[Page 189.]
Shipp Planter. But because the said Risbie & Gainer had
no visible estate in this jurisdiction wch might answer the
Judgment, the Execution was laid uppon the said Shipp,
wch by apprizallof three able & indifferent men, chosen ac-
cording to lawe, was valued at seven hundred & thirty six
pounds fourteene shillings, & at that rate shee was publikly
off red to sale by the space of fourteene days or thereabouts
ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS.

But none appearing to by her at that price, a motion was
made by the sd Shipps Companie at the Court held at Boston
the 27th of the fifth month called July 1648. that the said
ship might be putt uppon a new apprizall or delivered to the
sd plaintiefs in satisfaction of theire wages; wch was ordered
accordingly; & being apprized by able & indifferent men the
first of the sixth month called August 1648 at six hundred
pounds, was sould by the Under marshall to Major Edward
Gibons for fyve hundred & fifty pounds, because no man
would give so much, supposeing her to be over valued.
Where uppon by Authority of this Court the sd sale of the
sd Ship Planter is allowed & ratifyed to be good & effectuall
in Lawe, to the said major Gibons & his Assignes, & to his
& theire pper use & behoofe, & the sd fyve hundred & fifty

tions, every of them giveing a receipt &

isfy & pay the 200 Kint of fish according to the contents
thereof. And also knowing that there was fish due to him
from others that I was jointly ingaged for, I tould him, what
ever came of it, the first fish I put on board should bee in
consideration of this bill, wch he praised to accept of in that
consideration. Now I haveing laded fish uppon severall
accounts uppon the shipp Mr Clark was in, when I came to
account, I first demanded up the sd bill of 200 Kint, wch hee
denyed, and would not let me have it, but forced me to dis-
count the sd 200 Kintalls upon another Account volena
nolens, at that place, there being no power to compell.

Lun of Boston hi N.E. mer. wch Appearer required me the
sd Notary for him & in his name to ptest against Mr Wm
Greene Master of the good shipp called the Swallow of
London for these reasons following ; first for that he did not
sett saile from Gravesend towards New Engl. uppon the
10th of March 1649 according to pmise, nor till nienteene
dayes after, to wit, the nien & twentieth of the same.
Secondly that he did not take into his ship all the goods of
the sd Lun according to pmise, notwthstauding he tooke in
other mercht8 goods to whom he was not ingaged when first
he pmised the sd Thomas Lun to take in his goods, by reason
whereof the sd Tho. Lunne hath wanted time to pvide his
Complem* of fish, & for want of his sd goods hath lost the
opportunity of his Market. Uppon wch grounds & reasons
& at the request of the sd Tho. Lunne, I the Notary afore-
said doe ptest against you mr Wm Greene because yor ship
did not set saile from Gravesend according to pmise, nor did
take in all his goods according to yor engagement, that what
soever Demorage or other Damage the sd Lunne is lyable
unto, you the sd mr Greene are the cause thereof & shalbe
justly liable to make him just & due separations in time &
place convenient. Thus done & passed in the towne of

Upon the reading of the w*hin mentioned prot. mr Wm
Greene replyed 1. that he did not coven* to set saile fro
Gravesend by the 10 march as is prtended. 2ly that when
the sd Th. Lun sent his goods aboard his ship, they were not
rejected & therefore his protest is causles.

352 ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS.
or thereabouts, wch | pt of the sd ship (the sd John Jarvis
doth say) he did peaceably & quietly enjoy certaine months
wth out any Molestation, Isaac Addington being appointed
mr of the abovesd ship in the M° of July J-LifL as the sd John
Jarvis saith, & was to pforme a voyage fro Boston in N.
Eng: to Virginia, as he saith, & from there to London being
the port of his discharge & to give Account of his trust unto
each owner. And whereas the sd Jo: Jarvis alledgeth that
the sd Mr hath not rendred unto him a just & true Account,
& did in the month of August in the yeare
[Page 316.]
1647 at London undertake a second designe wth the above
sd ship unicorne, unto the Port of Malaga & so made his re-
turne to the Port of London, & since hath imployed the
abovesd ship Unicorne uppon severall other Designes & made
severall other Voyages wth the abovesd ship unto severall
other Ports wthout the knowledg consent or privity of the
sf John Jarvis thereunto, as he saith. And whereas
the sd John Jarvis did in the month of July one thousand
six hundd & fifty at Boston in N. Eng. in a peaceable way
(as he saith) require the abovesd Isaac Addington that he
would give him a true & just Account of his $ pt of the ship
abovementioned in wch the sd John Jarvis claimeth ppriety,
as also of her imployments & improvements thereof from
Port to Port, then three yeares compleat imployed p him the
abovesd Isaac Addington as Mr, of all w011 time of her imploy-
ment, as likewise the improvements as afore expressed (the
sd John Jarvis saith) he hath not as yet given him a full &
true Account. And whereas the sd John Jarvis alledgeth,
that he was (in the M°. of Aug. 1650tie.) constrained to psecute
a suit against the aforesd Isaac Addington at the Court then
held at Boston in N: Engl. for the recovering of what (he
saith) is most jusly due unto him, either for the imploy-
ments & improvements of his J pt of the ship aforesd, as also
what soevr els due unto him uppon any other Acc°. or Ac-
counts, wch by no other way or means he could have, nor can
yet attaine, as he affirmeth. Now whereas the sd Jo: Jarvis
alledgeth, that Isaac Addington & Capt John Leveret uppo
above & ungrounded prtence alledged in the Court held at
Boston afore expressed, and now uppon the same ground &
like pr,tence alledgeth that the sd Jo: Jarvis hath sould his £
pt of the sd ship, whereas (the sd John Jarvis saith) there is
no such thing, nor that it can any wayes be made by them
so to appeare. By meanes whereof the said John Jarvis (as

uppon the twelfth day of P-gcmb- 1 6 5 o did protest & (by ex-

in manner following) doe by these prsents ptest against Isaac
Addington & Capt John Leveret theires heires Exec. Ad-
ministr. & Assignes & every of them, for all sufferings losses
& damages whatsoever, either by estate or credit, that the sd
John Jarvis have heretofore heretofore susteined or shall any

is afore expressed from either the one third pt of the shipp
aforesd her imployment & all improvements pfitts & gaines
whatsoever wch the sd John Jarvis might or could any wayes
have made thereof or hath beene any wayes made by her im-
ployments, as also of what soever is any wayes due or shalbe
made to appeare to be due from any of them, as likewise
from any casualty whatsoever els the aforesd shipp Unicorne
may come or shall hereafter happen unto her, either by ship-
wreck, robbery, fyre, pyrats, & all dangers whatsoever els, &
specially since her late depture from Boston in New England
wthout his consent or privity thereunto, in the M°. of August

made, you shalbe lyable to make him just & due reparation in

This protest was by me the Notary aforesd reade & pub-
lished the day afores* unto Edw. Bendall Attr. for mr Isaac
Addington, in the prsence of mr Edward Hutchinson & Mr
Wm ffoster.
1. And the sd Edw. Bendal returned answer thereunto as
followeth. ffirst to severall untruths therein contained, he
saith, he to wit Mr Jarvis knew of the voyage to Malaga from
London, the sd John Jarvis being then there : & also the sd
Jarvis knew of this last voyage to the Canaries & therefore
should have spoken truth hi his ptest. ffurther the sd Attr
answreth, that it is untrue that he hath beene put of from
354 ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS.
Court to Court as the Records of the Court will declare, the
Action being but entred in July & through his owne default
not issued, when Mr Addington attended uppon the issue
thereof. And this Court hath fully heard the Cause, & on
the seventeenth of this instant are to give in theire Judgm* in
the Case. It is also untrue that he saith he desired to ob-
taine a true Account & could not : for Mr Addington & Edw.
Bendall his Atturney
[Page 318.]
tendred to Mr Jarvis to refer the Accounts to able men, both
before the Court & since, as the Atturney affirmeth.
2ly. Secondly to the Substance of Mr Jarvis Allegation,
he answreth, that Mr Addington long since in London & now
againe in Court hath rendered him a true Acc°. of the Vir-
ginia Voyage, wch is all the Account that is due to him. ffor
it appeared by Capt John Leveretts testimonie & sundry
other circumstances (as that he neither tooke any care for
fitting her out to sea, nor ptested against the Malaga Voyage
though he knew thereof, & that Mr Jarvis himself confessed
in Court, uppon certaine termes to have given order to the
mr for sale of the ship) that the sd John Jarvis had sould his
former interest, & himself e saith in the begining of his protest,
that London was the Port of Mr Addingtons discharge from
the ship, & there Mr Addington gave him an Acc°. under his
his hand, the very same wch hath now done & proved in
Court: These are the answrs wch at present the Atturney
gave, leaveing it to Mr Addington uppon knowledge of the
same to returne more plenary answers. Thus done & passed
in the towne of Boston by mee the Notary aforesaid. Quod

Before mee Wm Aspinwall No* & Tab: publ by Authority
of the Gener11 Court of the Massachusetts admitted & sworne,
psonally appeared John Jarvis merch*. & presented me this
writing as followeth to declare unto Edw. Bendall Attr to
Mr Isaac Addington & to receive his answr, wch accordingly
I did, The contents followe.
A reply to the prevaricating answer of Edw.
Bendall unto a ptest against Isaac Addington
& Capt John Leveret.
1. Whereas Edward Bendall answereth unto the ptest
aforesd as to untruths, & saith in the first place, that John
Jarvis knew of the voyage from London to Malago, as also
(as he saith) of this last voyage to the Canaries; In answr
to wch as touching the first voyage from London to Malago,
as also her last voyage, as in the protest expressed, to the
Canaries, John Jarvis saith they were both wthout his con-
sent or privity thereunto, therefore he speaketh truth in his
ptest.
2. Whereas Edward Bendall saith that it is untrue that
John Jarvis hath beene put of from Court to Court as the
Records of the Court (as he saith) will declare. To wch I
answer that sufficient testimony wilbe pduced to the con-
trary, as also from records of the Court, to prove what John
Jarvis in his ptest hath spoken to be true & what Edward
Bendall hath said to be untrue.
3. Whereas Edward Bendall answereth that John Jarvis
desired to obtaine a true Account from Isaac
[Page 327.]
Addington & could not (as John Jarvis yet affirmeth)
whereas the sd Edw: Bendall saith that Isaac Addington
long since in London & now here in Court hath rendred him
364 ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS.
a true Acc°. of the Virginia voyage, wch is untrue, for the
Accounts prsented in London as also here are not true nor
just as will evidently be made so to appeare.
4. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that the Acc°. of the
Virginia voyage was all the Accounts that were due unto
John Jarvis, the wch is false & untrue, for John Jarvis ought
to have had an Acc°. of his third of the ship in case sbee
were any wayes sould, as the pties uppon groundles testi-
monies & circumstances doe alledge.
5. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith, that John Jarvis tooke
no care for fitting of her out to sea, it will appeare that Isaac
Addington tooke up an hundd pounds for his use at Bottom-
ary, for the wch money John Jarvis hath underwritten as
taken up by Isaac Addington for the use of his third pt of
the Unicorne.
6. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that by vertue of an
order given the Mr for sale of the shipp, that John Jarvis
had sould his interest in her, it is false & untrue, ffor John
Jarvis never assented to any such sale as they say they had
made of her.
7. Whereas Ed: Bendall saith that John Jarvis saith in
the begining of his ptest that London was the Port of Mr
Addingtons discharge from the shipp, it is also false &
untrue, for the sd John Jarvis there declareth that London
was the port of his discharge, that is, of the voyage from
Virginia, & there he was to give a true & just account, unto
his owners, wch he hath not done, as it will evidently be made
so to appeare.
8. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that at London Mr
Addington gave John Jarvis an Account under his hand,
the very same wch he hath now done, & proved in Court as
he saith, Although the Accounts given by him in London
wch proved here to be his, w°h Accounts are not true & just :
all wch will evidently be made to appeare.
Edw. Bendalls Answer followeth.
1. To the article he saith, Mr Addingtons designe for
Malago was publickly spoken of uppon the Exchange &
therefore unlike Mr Jarvis should be ignorant."
Besides Mr Jarvis in his 5th Article saith he underwritt for
Bottomary for his pt of the shipp, & therefore could not be
ignorant: But he doubts of the truth of such underwriteing
vnles padventure he writ that he never meant to pay.
And for the voyage to Canaries it was publickly knowne
throughout the towne & therefore Mr Jarvis could not be
ignorant as he pretends.
ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS. 365
2. To the 2d. he saith, that the Records will evince that
Mr Addington & Capt Leveret were not the cause of his
putting of from Court to Court (as the ptest imports) but
Mr Jarvis him selfe was the cause.
3. To the 3d he saith. that the Acc°. as the Auditors
brought jt in, appeared to the Court & Jury to be just.
(5nTy ^heTAtturney wanted his proofes to one pctr about the
seamens wages : But since the Court one of those men came
in, who can testify his receipt thereof.
4. To the 4th he saith, Mr Jarvis did not sue for his
third pd of the shipp or Account of the same as sould by
Isaac Addington, but for an Account of the voyages & im-
, ployments of a third pt w011 he denyeth to be sould by any
order of his, & therefore the Court & Jury could not find
that wch was not comprized in the Action, but if Mr Adding-
ton have not Accounted already wth Mr Jarvis for the said
third pt he makes no question but he will doe it wth out
trouble or suite at lawe.
5. To the 5th he saith, no such thing was p ved in Court
(nor that he remembers once pleaded) that Mr Jarvis under-
writ for his p* of Bottomary in the malago voyage, nor doth
he believe he did.
6. To the 6th he saith that Capt Leverett (then having a
pt) uppon oath testified that both himselfe & Mr Jarvis
[Page 328.]
gave order to the Mr to sell her & Mr Jarvis in Court
acknowledged that he gave order to sell her though at a
higher rate. And since the Court he understands from such
as knew the shipp that shee was sould to her full worth or
more.
7 To the 7th he needs no Answr. because though Mr Jar-
vis seem to deny yet at length confesseth the very words,
only wth an explication & glosse that will not agree wth the
text.
The Eight being pure non-sense he can give no answer to
it.
