PREFACE. 


Names  are  apellations,  which,  when  applied  to  persons,  are  used  to 
designate  one  family  from  another,  and  one  individual  fi'om  another  of 
the  same  family.  Family  names  are  surtiames,  and  are  arbitrary; 
depending  upon  the  sole  will  and  choice  of  the  persons  taking  them. 
Hence  many  persons  have  relinquished  their  family  or  surname,  and 
taken  some  other ;  while  others  for  the  novelty  of  it,  or  from  some 
other  cause  have  changed  the  orthography  of  their  surnames,  whereby 
the  number  of  names  has  not  only  been  greatly  increased,  but  a  knowl- 
edge of  the  ancestry  of  some  families  entirely  lost. 

While  the  right  of  a  person  to  assume  a  new  name  is  conceded,  there 
is  also  high  authority  for  saying,  that  every  man  has  a  right  to  spell  his 
oum  name  as  he  pleases,  but  not  that  of  another. 

To  surnames  are  prefixed  other  and  various  names  to  designate  indi- 
viduals, the  offspring  of  the  same  paternity  —  such  are  called  christian 
names. 

The  orthography  of  both  christian  and  surnames  in  the  following 
pages  will  be  thought,  in  some  instances  by  most  readers,  to  be  incor- 
rect, and,  perhaps  in  some,  known  to  be  so  by  those  to  whom  they  are 
applied.  However  that  may  be,  I  have  followed  the  orthography,  as 
also  the  dates  without  regard  to  old  and  new  style,  as  found  in  public 
records  and  in  the  communications  sent  me ;  prefering,  in  a  few  in- 
stances excepted,  where  the  orthography  was  manifestly  erroneous,  to 
take  it  as  I  found  it. 

An  article  upon  the  origin  of  names,  and  one  upon  old  and  new  style 
may  be  found  at  the  close  of  the  volume.

responding figuz-es  on  the  left  hand  against  his  name  or  that  of  her  hus- 
band in  the  succeeding  generation.  Those  in  brackets  following  the 
name  of  the  husband  or  wife  refer  to  his  or  her  number  in  the  whole

she  belonged.  Towns,  when  mentioned  are  to  be  understood  as  in 
Massachusetts,  unless  otherwise  designated  or  implied.  Places  of  resi- 
dence, when  known,  are  also  mentioned.  It  is  matter  of  regret  that  so 
many  omissions  in  that  particular  are  found  in  the  documents  sent  me. 
A  knowledge  of  one's  residence,  who  had  a  family,  is  not  only  desirable 
but  essentially  necessary  to  aid  the  enquirer  where  to  look  for  his 
descendants  or  a  record  of  them  —  without  it  he  is  not  unlike  a  sliip  in 
the  midst  of  a  broad  and  trackless  ocean  seeking  her  destined  port 
without  chart  or  compass.

OTRODUCTION. 


A  desire  to  know  my  ancestors,  paternal  and  maternal,  in  a  continu- 
ous line  to  the  period  of  their  first  settling  in  this  country,  gave  rise  to 
this  publicatioa. 

While  accomplishing  it,  collaterals  and  their  descendants  met  me  on 
every  side,  and  claimed  of  me  that  notice,  which  had  been  so  long  neg- 
lected   THAT  THE  KNOWLEDGE  OP  THEM   MIGHT  NOT  DIE  "WITH  THEM. 

That  appeal  was  not  made  in  vain  —  it  has  been  complied  with,  and 
the  result  is  here  embodied  in  a  record  of  the  Ward  family,  not  only  in 
discharge  of  a  duty  to  the  departed,  but  for  the  information  of  their 
descendants  now  on  the  stage,  and  of  those  that  are  yet  to  come. 

It  embraces  the  names  of  all  the  descendants  of  William  Ward,  so 
far  as  they  have  come  to  my  knowledge  from  county,  town,  parish  and 
family  records.  Further  time  and  researches  would  no  doubt  lead  to  the 
discovery  of  others,  and  to  what  became  of  some  herein  mentioned,  of 
whom  but  little  is  known. 

The  first  mention  of  WiUiam  Ward,  and  of  his  being  in  America,  that 
I  have  been  able  to  find,  was  in  1G39,  In  that  year,  according  to  the 
records  of  Sudbury,  the  proprietors  of  that  plantation  made  three  divis- 
ions of  their  lands  ;  the  first  in  1639,  the  second  and  third,  in  1640  —  it 
appears  of  record,  that  William  Ward  shared  in  each  of  these  divisions  ; 
then  having  a  second  wife  and  several  children.  Tradition,  transmitted 
from  his  early  descendants,  says  he  came  from  Yorkshire  or  Derbyshire 
in  England.  Investigations  have  recently  been  made  in  England  to 
ascertain  his  paternity,  but  without  any  satisfactory  result.  They  are 
still  being  made  for  that  purpose,  and  to  learn  the  names  of  his  wives 
and  bii-ths  of  his  children,  who  came  here  with  him.  Yet,  as  consider- 
able time  may  elapse  before  the  final  result  can  be  obtained,  and,  when 
obtained,  may  not  be  conclusive,  it  is  deemed  not  advisable  to  delay  this 
publication  for  information  from  abroad  to  the  disappointment  at  home, 
of  many  of  his  descendants,  who  are  impatient  by  reason  of  their  ad-

vanced  age,  to  be  informed  of  their  ancestry,  at  least  in  America,  before 
they  go  hence. 

Information  already  received,  renders  it  improbable  that  he  came 
from  Yorkshire,  although  it  is  quite  certain,  that  his  early  ancestors 
were  of  that  place.  Seven  hundred  and  ten  distinguished  persons,  each 
bearing  but  one  name,  accompanied  William,  the  Conqueror,  from  Nor- 
mandy to  the  conquest  of  England  in  1066  ;  a  record  of  all  of  whose 
names  is  yet  preserved.  Among  the  number,  was  "  Ward,  one  of  the 
noble  Captains."  This  is  the  earliest  period  in  wlaich  the  name  is  found 
in  English  history,  and  the  first  which  appears  there  with  an  additional 
name  was  William  de  la  Ward,  residing  in  Chester,  in  1175. 

From  1349,  a  succession  of  eleven  generations  of  one  family  is  found 
there,  in  each  of  which,  the  name  of  the  head  of  the  family  was,  in  the 
first,  Ralph  ;  in  the  second,  Richard  ;  in  the  third,  John  ;  in  the  fourth, 
John  ;  in  the  fifth,  Richard ;  in  the  sixth,  William  ;  in  the  seventh, 
Thomas  ;  in  the  eighth,  Tliomas  ;  in  the  ninth,  John  ;  in  the  tenth, 
Richard ;  and  in  the  eleventh,  Thomas,  who  had  sons  John  and  Wil- 
liam—  these  were  prevailing  names  in  the  early  families  descended 
from  William  of  Sudbury,  and  are  yet  retained  to  a  considerable  extent 
in  the  families  of  his  descendants  to  the  present  time. 

The  Wards  of  Yorkshire  spread  into  the  adjoining  counties  of  Eng- 
land ;  those  of  Durham,  whence  it  may  be,  came  William  Ward,  after- 
wards of  Sudbury,  were  descendants  of  the  Yorkshire  Wards  —  the 
arms  anciently  belonging  to  the  family  here,  were  Azure,  a  cross  baton, 
or  Crest,  wolfs  head  erased  —  and  such  were  those  of  the  Durham 
Wards. 

William  Ward  was  made  freeman  in  1643  ;  represented  Sudbury  in 
the  General  Court  in  1644,  and  was  several  years  Chaimian  of  the 
selectmen,  as  he  was  in  1660,  when  he  removed  from  that  town. 

He,  with  twelve  others  belonging  to  Sudbury,  petitioned  the  General 
Court  in  1656  for  a  new  plantation  of  eight  miles  square,  saying, 
*'  Whereas,  your  petitioners  have  lived  divers  years  in  Sudbury,  and  God 
hath  been  pleased  to  increase  our  children,  which  are  now,  divers  of 
them,  grown  to  man's  estate,  and  wee  many  of  us  grown  into  years  so 
as  that  wee  should  bee  glad  to  see  them  settled  before  the  Lord  take  us 
away  from  hence,  as  also  God  having  given  us  some  considerable  quan- 
tity of  cattle,  so  that  wee  are  so  straightened  that  wee  cannot  so  com- 
fortably subsist  as  could  be  desired  ;  and  some  of  us  having  taken  some 
pains  to  view  the  country,  wee  have  found  a  place  which  lieth West- 
ward about  eiglit  miles  from  Sudbury  which  wee  conceive  might  bee 
comfortable  for  our  subsistence,"  &c. 


INTRODUCTION.  VII 

Sudbury  then  contained  less  than  seventy-five  families,  and  em- 
braced in  territory  what  is  now  Sudbury  and  Wayland  —  one  would 
naturally  think  they  were  "  straightened  "  for  neighbors,  more  than  for 
want  of  room  ;  and  so  they  found  it,  even  twenty  years  later,  when  the 
town  with  an  increased  population  was  nearly  destroyed  by  the  Indians. 

Their  petition  was  granted  to  the  extent  of  "  six  miles  square,  or 
otherwise,  in  some  convenient  form  equivalent  thereto  in  the  place  de- 
sired "  —  the  plantation  was  laid  out  not  six  miles  square,  yet,  for  an 
"  equivalent  thereto,"  it  was,  to  say  the  least  of  it,  a  very  liberal  ad- 
measurement ;  embracing  in  teri'itory  most  of  what  is  now  comprised  in 
the  towns  of  Marlborough,  Westborough,  Northborough,  and  South- 
borough  —  the  names  of  the  three  last  mentioned  towns  are  significant 
of  their  relative  location  to  the  towns  from  which  they  were  set  off — 
Westborough,  including  what  is  Northborough,  was  set  off  from  Marl- 
borough in   1717  —  Northborough  from   Westborough  in  1766,  and 
Southborough  from  Marlborough  in  1727.     The  plantation  was  incor- 
porated by  the  name  of  Marlborough  in  1660  ;   in  that  year  William 
Ward  removed  there  from  Sudbury,  and  was  chosen  deacon  of  the 
church  when  first  organized  there  —  the  house  lots  ranged  from  fifteen 
to  fifty  acres  each,  and  each  was  entitled  to  a  proportionate  share  in  the 
after  divisions  of  the  common  lands  —  his  was  a  fifty  acre  lot,  situated 
on  the  South  side  of  the  road  and  nearly  opposite  the  site  of  the  first 
Meeting  house,  which  was  not  far  from  where  the  Gates  Academy  now 
stands  —  he  built  and  resided  upon  it  —  his  lands  by  after  divisions  ex- 
tended Westward  to  what,  in  some  of  his  conveyances,  he  called  "  Belch- 
er's Pond,"  near  Avhich  was  erected  the  public  house,  long  and  wide 
known,  as  the    Williams  Tavern,  and  kept  by  Abraham  Williams,  who 
married  the  eldest  daughter  of  William  Ward,  and  afterwards  by  his 
grand  son,  Col.  Abraham  Williams,  and  subsequently  by   Silas  Gates, 
who  married  into  that  family. 

William  Ward,  in  common  with  others,  endured  great  hardships  and 
sustained  great  losses  by  Indian  hostilities  ;  more  especially  in  the  time 
of  King  Phillip's  war  in  1675-6,  when  his  buildings  were  fired,  his  cat- 
tle destroyed,  and  one  of  his  sons  slain  by  the  enemy. 

He  died  at  Marlborough,  Aug.  10,  1687  ;  the  record  there  does  not 
state  his  age  —  a  knowledge  of  which  would  greatly  facilitate  the  dis- 
covery of  his  parentage  by  identifying  him  from  some  others  of  the  name 
of  William,  who,  as  appears  by  records  from  England,  were  bom  with- 
in a  few  years  of  each  other  —  his  age  is  supposed  to  have  been  eighty 
five  or  ninety  ;  probably  it  was  the  latter.     His  Will  bears  date  "  the

sixth  of  April,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  Christ,  one  thousand  six  hundred 
and  eighty-six  ;  "  wherein  he  says,  "  enjoying  through  God's  mercy  the 
entireness  of  my  understanding  ;  but  by  reason  of  my  great  age  and  the 
infirmaties  thereof,  being  sensible  of  approaching  death,  do  make  this 
my  last  will,"  &c.  —  appoints  his  "  loving  wife,  Elizabeth,  sole  execu- 
trix ;  "  gives  liberally  to  her,  and  requests  his  "  sous,  John  Ward,  In- 
crease Ward,  and  son-in-law,  Abraham  Williams,  to  be  helpful  to  his 
wife,  as  occasion  may  require  ;  —  gives  "  to  all  my  own  children,  viz.  all 
my  sons  and  daughters,  which  I  have  by  my  former  wife,  and  all  that  I 
have  surviving  by  my  present  wife."  He  also  gave  legacies  to  his  grand 
children  and  to  their  mothers,  children  and  widows  of  his  "  sons,  Richard 
and  Eleazer,  deceased."  He  had  foui'teen  children  ;  and  as  he  gave  to 
all  the  children  by  his  former  wife,  and  to  the  surviving  by  his  then 
wife,  it  is  presumed  all  of  them  by  the  first  wife  were  living  at  the  date 
of  his  Will  ;  and  that  Richard,  his  fourth  child,  who  died  in  1666,  at  the 
age  of  thirty-one  years,  was  by  his  last  wife  —  hence  he  must  have  mar- 
ried a  second  time,  some  years  before  he  left  England. 

His  widow,  when  past  her  seventy-fourth  year,  made  several  journies 
to  Boston,  as  appears  by  the  Probate  records  there,  before  she  effected 
a  settlement  of  his  estate  with  the  exorbitant  and  tyramiical  Andros, 
Governor,  Judge  of  Probate,  &c.  Considering  the  distance  she  resided 
from  Boston,  exceeding  thirty  miles,  much  of  the  way  a  wilderness  fre- 
quented by  lurking  savages,  a  bridle  way  her  road,  and  on  which  one 
of  her  sons  had  been  a  few  years  before  shot  down  by  the  enemy  at  noon 
day,  she  must  have  been  a  person  of  great  fortitude,  and  possessed  of 
physical  powers  in  an  eminent  degree. 

She  died  at  Marlborough,  where,  some  years  since,  her  grave  stone 
was  standing,  on  which  was  an  inscription  as  follows : 

"  Here  lyes  the  body  of  Elizabeth  Ward,  the  servant  of  the  Lord  — 
deceased  in  87  year  of  her  age,  Dec.  ye  9,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord 
1700."

nine  years,  and  nine  years  Representative  (not  sixteen  as

lived  in  the  Southeasterly  part  of  the  town  —  his  dwell- 
ing house  was  constructed  for,  and  used  as  a  garrison  prior 
to,  and  at  the  time  of  King  Philip's  war,  1675-6.  In  1701 
he  disposed  of  his  real  estate,  lying  mostly  in  one  body, 
by  deeds  of  gift  to  his  sons.  The  quantity  of  land  to  each 
was  about  one  hundi*ed  acres,  and  in  each  deed  was  a  clause 
restricting  the  grantee  from  selling  without  the  consent  of 
his  brothers,  or  the  major  part  of  them.  When  any  one

were  living,  Dec.  18,  1711,  as  appears  by  their  father's

Abraham  Williams  disposed  of  his  estate  by  deed  of  gitt, 
dated  Dec.  28,  1712,  —  recorded  with  Middlesex  deeds, 
Book  16,  page  82,  from  which  the  following  are  extracts: 

To  all  people  &c  :  —  Know  ye  that  I,  Abraham  Wil- 
liams, sen.  of  the  town  of  ^Marlboro'  &c.,  being  stricken  in 
years,  and  not  knowing  how  soon  my  Lord  will  call,  upon 
good  considerations  me  moving,  do  give  and  grant  as  fol- 
loweth  :  after  my  decease  and  the  decease  of  my  beloved 
consort,  Joanna  Williams,  there  shall  be  paid  out  of  my 
estate,  to  my  daughter,  Elizabeth  Beman,  besides  what 
she  hath  already  had,  three  score  pounds  in  New  England 
money  —  unclipt  money  —  it  shall  be  for  her  and  her  chil- 
dren forever  ;  also  I  give  to  her  and  hers  half  my  stock 
that  shall  then  be  found,  except  one  yoak  of  oxen  and  feed- 
ing cattle,  and  one  horse.  The  one-half  of  all  the  rest 
shall  be  theirs  free  forever.  I  also  give  to  my  daughter, 
Elizabeth  Beraan,  and  to  hers  half  of  ray  household 
goods,  and  to  my  sonin-law,  Thomas  Beman,  thirty 
pounds  passable  money,  and  forty  acres  of  land  I  bought 
of  my  brother,  John  Ward,  [lie  was  of  Newton]  and 
twenty  six  acres  that  lies  adjoining  it —  in  all  three  score 
and  six  acres:  it  shall  be  his  forever  after  our  decease,  to 
stand  good  in  fee  simple.  And  because  God  hath  taken 
away  my  eldest  son  and  proper  heir,  and  who  never  had 
any  possession  of  my  housing  or  lands,  but  as  we  traded 
together  with  corn  and  cattle,  and  so  he  had  his  part  of 
all  our  income,  and  having  left  with  me  one  only  son,  I 
reckon  him  my  proper  heir  in  his  father's  room  ;  and  ac- 
cordingly do  give  and  grant  to  him,  as  first  born,  viz : 
Abraham  Williams,  together  with  his  uncle,  John  Wil- 
liams, all  the  rest  of  my  estate  undisposed  of,  viz':  all 
my  housing,  with  the  land  they  stand  upon  and  is  about 
them  on  every  side  bounded  and  fenced,  and  all  my  lands 
and  meadows  abroad  ;  all  ray  husbandry  furniture,  car- 
pentering tools,  and  the  rest  of  my  stock  —  they  shall  be 
Abraham  Williams  his  and  John  Williams  his  together, 
not  to  be  parted,  but  improved  for  their  subsistence  to- 
gether, unless  extremity  enforces  a  sale  of  a  small  piece 
thereof — all  these  gifts  and  grants  shall  be  to  them  and 
their  heirs  forever.  And  further,  concerning  William 
Ripley,  whom  we  have  brought  up  from  a  child  ;  his  time 


12  WARD    FAMILY. 

is  not  long  to  stay  on  strict  terms  —  then  nine  pounds  will 
be  due  liim,  one  he  hath  had  already — let  his  due  be  paid 
out  of  the  whole  estate  —  if  he  will  stay  Avith  Abraham 
and  John  for  reasonable  wages  by  the  year,  three  or  four 
years,  then  I  give  to  him,  for  his  own  forever,  to  settle  on, 
twenty  acres  of  land  at  Rock  patch,  with  the  meadow  to  it, 
next  to  my  son  Beman's.  If  he  like  not  that,  he  shall 
have  twenty  acres  at  the  west  end  of  Crane  hill,  and  three 
acres  of  meadow  at  Cedar  meadow  above  the  Island  next 
to  Barns.     And  if  not  that,  he  must  go. 

I  desire  and  pra3\  my  three  beloved  friends,  my  son-in- 
law,  Thomas  Beraau,  my  brother,  Samuel  Ward,  and  my 
cousin,  Joseph  Stratton,  to  be  overseers  and  feofees  in 
trust,  to  see  to  the  fulfilling  of  these  gifts  and  improve- 
ment of  the  other  according  to  the  premises  for  my  wife, 
John  and  Abraham.  And  when  God  shall  take  either  of 
us  awav,  to  allow  a  decent  and  Christian  burial,  without 
weeds  or  flourishes,  for  our  fathers  and  mothers  had  none. 

Signed  with  my  own  hand  and  sealed  with  my  own 
seal,  &c.  Dec.  18,  1711.

was  of  Cambridge,  1636,  freeman  1637,  and  d.  there,

resided  at  Marl.,  whence,  after  the  births  of  the  following 
children,  he  removed  to  Mansfield,  Ct.,  where  both  the

(34)  III.  Col.  NAHUM  WARD,  [64.3]  m.  July  16, 1714, 
(Boston  Rec.)  Martha,  b.  July  13,  1687,  dau.  of  Daniel 
How,  [52.1]  of  Marlboro'.  He  followed  the  seas  in  early 
life,  and  in  several  voyages  was  master  of  a  vessel ;  but 
a  spiritual  change  coming  over  him,  as  he  said,  induced 
him  to  relinquish  that  mode  of  life,  and  go  into  trade  in 
Boston,  where  it  is  supposed  his  eldest  son  was  b.,  and 
whose  birth  is  found  only  on  Shrewsbury  records  with 
those  of  his  other  chil.  It  will  be  seen,  that  according  to 
the  records,  that  son  was  b.  more  than  a  year  before  the  pa- 
rents' marriage.  The  early  age  at  which  the  son  was  mar- 
ried leads  to  the  presumption  that  he  was  b.  as  early  as 
recorded,  and  that  the  error,  if  any,  is  in  the  record  of  the

year  of  his  parents'  marriage.  The  father  was  of  Marl., 
1716,  v*'here  the  birth  of  the  second  son  is  recorded,  and 
soon  after  of  Shrewsbury,  where  is  the  only  record  of  his 
other  chil.  He  was  a  proprietor  of  Shrews.,  one  of  its 
first  settlers,  and  one  of  the  founders  of  the  chh.  in  that 
town.  He  was  the  first,  and  for  seven  years,  the  Rep. 
from  S.  in  the  Gen.  Court.  He  rose  to  the  rank  of  Col., 
was  early  a  magistrate,  and,  in  1745,  a  Justice  of  the  C. 
C.  Pleas  for  the  county  of  Worcester ;  in  which  oflSce  he

U.,  1690,  ord.  Minister  of  Rehoboth,  (that  part  now  Se- 
konk,  1693,  m.  1693,  Elizabeth,  b.  1668,  dau.  of  Capt. 
Noah  Wiswall,  of  Newton,  who,  b.  1640,  m.  Theodosia, 
dau.  of  John  Jackson,  of  Newton,  1664,  and  was  slain  in 
battle,  at  Wheelwright's  pond,  (Lee,  N.  H.)  with  a  party 
of  French  and  Indians,  Lord's  day,  July  6,  1690.  Capt. 
Noah  was  son  of  Thomas,  who  removed  from  Dorchester 
to  Newton,  and  d.  1683.  Rev.  Thomas  Greenwood  d.  in 
the  ministry,  at  Sekonk,  Sept.  8,  1720,  aged  50  ;  and  his 
wid.,  Elizabeth,  at  Weymouth,  Jan.  24,  1735-6.  They 
had, 

268.  1  Hannah,  b.  Feb.  5, 1694. 

269.  2  John,  May  20, 1697,  H.  U.,  1717,  ord.  at  Sekonk, 
1721,  successor  of  his  father  inthe  ministry  there  ;  had 
fourteeen  chil.  and  d.  1766.

273.  6  Esther,  June  25,  1709,  d.  unm.  Aug.  31, 1731. 

In  the  history  of  Rehoboth,  by  Leonard  Bliss,  jr.,  it 
is  said,  "  The  Rev.  Thomas  Greenwood  d.  Sept.  8, 1720, 
at  half-past  two,  P.  M.,  aged  50  years.  He  was  a  native 
of  Weymouth,  Mass.,  where  his  father,  of  whose  Christian 
name  I  am  ignorant,  died,  according  to  minutes  made  by 
Rev.  Thomas  Greenwood,  Sept.  1, 1693,  in  the  evening." 
This  account  agrees  with  the  time  of  the  death  of  Thomas 
Greenwood,  of  Newton,  as  inscribed  on  his  grave-stone,  still 
standing  in  the  ancient  burying-ground  in  Newton.  The 
town  records  of  Weymouth  do  not  contain  the  name  of  any 


30  WARD   FAMILY. 

one  of  his  family,  nor  is  his  name  found  there.  Yet,  his 
son,  Thomas,  may  have  been  b.  there.  The  birth  of 
Thomas,  son  of  Thomas  and  Hannah  Greenwood,  is  found 
in  Middlesex  records,  Jan.  27,  1678  —  the  figure  3  hav- 
ing been  substituted  for  some  other  one  erased.  Thomas, 
father  of  Rev.  Thomas  Greenwood,  was  Selectman  in  New- 
ton, (then  Cambridge,)  1686-7-90,  and  d.  in  that  office, 
Sept.  1,  1693.  l^ie  Rev.  Thomas  would  have  been 
almost  50  when  he  d.,  if  b.  Jan.  27, 1671,  as  was  probably 
the  original  entry  of  his  birth,  and  afterwards  altered  to 
1673.

the  following  chil.,  except  the  last,  are  on  record.  He  re- 
moved with  his  family  to  Grafton,  and,  probably  was  of 
Sutton  a  short  time,  where  the  birth  of  the  last  child  is 
recorded.  The  father  was,  for  many  years,  a  school- 
teacher at  Grafton,  and  d.  there,  May  24, 1747,  aged  56.

Dec.  5,  1717  ;  sold  his  lands  in  Newton,  1720,  and  moved 
away,  leaving  no  record  of  his  chil.  He  was  of  Pomfret, 
Ct.,  in  1734,  and  in  that  year  purchased  lands  in  Ashford, 
in  the  deed  of  which  he  is  called  of  Pomfret.  In  1738 
he  purchased  lands  in  Ashford,  of  Thomas  Hill,  of  Bos- 
ton, and  mortgaged  the  same  to  Hill.  He  was  living  in 
1761,  and  conveyed  lands  there,  other  than  what  he  had 
of  Hill,  to  Jabez  Ward.  He  probably  had  deceased  be- 
fore 1770 ;  as  in  that  year,  Hill  quitted  to  Daniel  and 
Jabez  Ward,  and  the  rest  of  the  heirs  of  the  said  Thomas  ;

to  the  same  lands,  mortgaged  by  Thomas  Ward  to  Hill, 
and  say,  that  they,  the  said  Daniel  and  Jabez,  are  the 
lawful  heirs  to  the  same  ;  by  another  deed,  Silas  Chapin 
and  his  wife,  Amia,  and  James  Eaton,  all  of  Springfield, 
quitted  their  right  to  the  same  land,  and  to  the  same  pe 
son.  They  were  probably  "  the  rest  of  the  heirs."  Daniel 
and  Jabez  purchased  lands  in  Ashford,  1754,  Daniel 
■was  of  Glastonbury,  Ct.,  1771,  and  sold  out  at  Ashford, 
1780.  Jabez  was  of  Ashford  until  1784,  when  he  sold 
out  and  moved  away.  Daniel  and  Jabez  were  the  sons,

It  is  worthy  of  notice  that  five  of  the  above  named  chil. 
d.  within  thirty-six  days  of  each  other,  and  four  of  them 
at  an  age  that  could  not  but  have  added  to  the  over- 
whelming grief  of  the  parents,  and  may  well  be  supposed 
to  have  broken  a  mother's  heart. 

(62)     IV.  WILLIAM  WARD,    [151.1]  m.  Rachel 


and  resided  at  Union,  Ct. ;  of  which  he  was  a  very  prom-

was  a  large  land  holder  and  owned  several  farms  there  ; 
at  a  corner  of  one  of  them,  there  was,  and  yet  remains,  a 
large  rock,  on  which  are  cut  in  large  capitals  the  letters 
W.W.,  but  whether  by  him,  or  his  father  William,  is  un- 
known —  tradition  there  is  that  it  was  marked  by  Will-

chil.  are  recorded.  That  of  the  sixth  is  found  on  record 
at  Somers,  Ct.,  to  which  town  the  parents  are  supposed 
to  have  removed  from  Union,  and  of  whom  no  further 
record  is  any  where  found.     Their  chil.  were,

In  the  Genealogy  of  the  Parsons  family  it  said,  "  Na- 
thaniel Parsons  m.  Mary  Pease,  Dec.  28, 1725,  and  had 
Nathaniel  and  Chadwell,  viho  m.  Ruth,  dau.ofJosiah 
Ward  of  Enfield  "  ;  meaning  undoubtedly,  Enfield,  Ct. ; 
that  Ruth  was  the  dau.  of  Josiah,  is  thought  to  be  a  mis- 
take ;  as  neither  the  records  of  Enfield,  nor  of  Somers, 
Ct.,  of  which  Enfield  was  once  a  part,  contain  any  evi- 
dence of  a  Josiah  Ward  having  ever  resided  in  either 
town,  or  that  any  other  Ward  there,  save  Gamaliel,  had 
had  a  daughter  by  the  name  of  Ruth.

The  births  of  six  of  their  chil.  are  on  record  at  Ashford  ; 
the  two  last  are  found  at  Somers,  Ct.,  to  which  town  the 
parents  probably  removed  from  Ashford  before  1742.

no  instance  is  the  name  of  his  wife  mentioned  ;  no  record

son  of  Roland  Cotton,  and  d.  in  1652. 

Artemas  Ward  resided  at  Shrewsbury,  but  did  not 


4o  WARD    FAMILY. 

study  a  profession.  At  the  age  of  25  years,  he^  was 
commissioned  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  ;  in  1755,  a  Major  in 
the  3d  Regiment  of  Militia  in  the  counties  of  ^Middlesex 
and  Worcester,  whereof  Abraham  Williams,  Esquire,  of 
Marlboro',  was  Col.  ;  and,  in  1758,  was  Major  in  the 
Regt.  of  foot  commanded  by  William  Williams,  raised 
for  a  general  invasion  of  Canada.  He  went  out  on  that 
ill-fated  expedition  under  the  command  of  Gen.  Aber- 
crombie,  from  which  he  returned  with  the  rank  of  Lt.  Col. 
The  frequent  wars  between  England  and  France  involved 
the  American  Colonies  in  the  contests  of  the  mother  coun- 
try until  the  conquest  of  Canada  in  1760.  Our  northern 
frontier  was  long  the  principal  battle-ground,  where  the 
Provincials,  cooperating  with  regular  and  well  disci- 
plined troops  under  the  command  of  expeinenced  officers, 
were  at  school  in  learning  the  art  of  war,  and  therein 
made  such  proficiency,  that  in  a  short  time  they  coped 
with  their  teachers,  and,  possessing  an  unconquerable 
spirit  and  love  of  liberty,  turned  them  out  of  the  school- 
house  and  retained  possession  for  themselves  and  their 
posterity  —  forever  may  they  keep  it  1 

Artemas  Ward  succeeded  Abraham  Williams  in  the 
command  of  the  3d  Regiment,  and  represented  his  native 
town  in  the  Gen.  Court ;  where  he  took  an  active  part 
in  the  controversies  between  the  Colonial  Governors  and 
the  House  of  Reps,  that  preceded  the  Revolution. 

Fearless  in  speech  and  resolute  in  manner,  he 
boldly  denounced  such  Parliamentary  measures  as 
encroached  on  the  rights  of  the  Colonies,  and  which 
the  Governors,  if  they  did  not  recommend,  at  ^  least 
sought  to  enforce  in  offensive  laniruase  and  by  arbitrary 
means.  The  country  was  roused,  and  militia  trammgs 
became  frequent ;  some  of  whose  officers  gave  political  as 
well  as  military  instruction  to  the  troops  under  their  com- 
mand ;  such  was  Col.  Ward's  practice,  which  occasioned 
the  following  letter  :  — 

Boston,  June  30,  1766. 
To  Artemas  Ward,  Esquire.  Sir :  I  am  ordered  by 
the  Governor  to  signify  to  you,  that  he  has  thought  fit  to 
supersede  your  commission  of  Col.  in  the  Regt.  of  Mili- 
tia lying  in  part  in  the  County  of  Worcester,  and  partly 
in  the  County  of  Middlesex.  And  your  said  commission 
is  superseded  accordingly. 

I  am,  sir,  your  most  obt.  and  humble  servt., 

John  Cotton,  Dep'ty  Sec'y. 


WARD    FAMILY.  47 

The  foregoing  letter  ^-as  forwarded  by  Express,  and 
the  messenger,  as  directed,  delivered  it  himself  to  Col. 
Ward,  and  then  waited  until  he  had  opened  and  read  it, 
as  if  to  ascertain  and  report  how  it  was  received.  As 
the  messenger  was  in  full  military  costume  and  mounted 
on  a  foaming  steed,  he  attracted  the  attention  of  many 
citizens,  who  were  present,  and  who  enquired  of  CoL 
Ward,  if  he  had  important  news — -  whereupon  he  read 
the  letter  aloud,  and  then,  turning  to  the  messenger,  said, 
give  my  compliments  to  the  Governor,  and  say  to  him,  I 
consider  myself  tioice  honored,  but  more  in  being  super- 
seded, than  in  having  been  commissioned,  and  that  I  thank 
him  for  this,  holding  up  the  letter,  since  the  motive  that 
dictated  it  is  evidence,  that  I  am,  what  he  is  not,  a 
friend  to  my  country. 

In  losing  the  confidence  of  the  Governor  he  shared 
more  largely  in  that  of  the  public.  In  1768,  the  House 
of  Reps,  being  disposed  to  surround  the  Governor  with 
a  Council  composed  of  men  proved  and  approved  for  their 
patriotism  and  fideUty,  elected  him  as  one  of  the  mem- 
bers of  that  body.  The  Governor  negatived  the  choice 
—  some  others  shared  the  same  fate.  What  a  compli- 
ment to  their  integrity  and  vigilance  in  defending  char- 
tered rights !  The  people  s:stained  their  Representa- 
tives, and  for  so  doing,  were  threatened  with  subjection 
by  military  force.  Tlie  country  was  alarmed.  Submis- 
sion or  resistance  was  the  only  alternative.  Conventions 
were  held,  and  through  them  the  people,  as  with  one  voice, 
proclaimed  resistance  and  their  determuiation  to  repel 
force  by  force ;  preparations  for  that  purpose  com- 
menced ;  and  on  the  2Tth  of  October,  1774,  the  Provincial 
Congress,  then  sitting  at  Cambridge,  elected  Jedediah 
Preble,  Artemas  Ward,  and  Seth  Poraroy,  General  Offi- 
cers, to  take  rank  in  the  order  above  stated.  Hostilities 
commenced  at  Lexington  and  Concord  on  the  19th  of 
April,  1775,  and,  on  the  20th,  Gen.  Ward  was  at  Cam- 
bridge ;  where  on  that  day  he  issued  several  general  or- 
ders, and  appointed  Samuel  Osgood,  Esq.,  afterwards  of 
Andover,  and  .Joseph  Ward.  Esq.,  of  Newton,  his  Aids- 
de-Camp  ;  the  latter  also  officiated  as  his  Secretary.  ^Iv. 
Preble  did  not  accept  his  appointment.  It  was  not  until 
the  19th  of  May  following,  that  Gen.  Ward  was  aD- 
pointed  Commander-in-chief.  On  the  20th  he  received 
his  commission,  which  was  as  follows : —

To  the  Honourable  ARTEMAS    WAKD,    Esquire, 

(jrreetin!?; :  — 

We,  reposing  especial  trust  and  confidence  in  your

they  are  hereby  commanded  to  obey  you  as  their  Gen- 
eral ;  and  you  ai"e  yourself  to  observe  and  follo^v  such 
orders  and  instructions  as  you  shall,  from  time  to  time, 
receive  from  this  or  any  future  Congress  or  House  of 
Representatives  of  this  Colony,  or  the  Committee  of 
Safety,  so  far  as  said  Committee  is  impowered  by  their 
commission  to  order  and  instruct  you  for  the  defence  of 
this  and  the  other  Colonies,  and  to  demean  yourself  ac- 
cording to  the  military  rules  and  discipline  established  by 
said  Congress  in  pursuance  of  the  trust  reposed  in  you. 

By  order  of  the  Congress. 
Dated  19th  May  A.  D.  1775. 

Jos.  Warren,  Pres.  P.  T. 

Middlesex,  ss.  May  20,  1775. 

The  Honorable  Artemas  Ward,  Esquire,  took  the  oath 
appointed  by  the  Congress  of  the  Colony  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Bay  to  be  taken  by  the  General  OfScers  and  sub- 
scribed the  same  before  me. 

Samuel  Dexter,  Justice  of  the  Peace. 

This  commission  did  not  authorize  him  to  command  the 
forces  raised  *.n  the  other  Colonies,  of  which  a  considera- 
ble number  arrived  at  Cambridge  previous  to  the  battle 
of  Bunker  Hill. 

A  continental  Congress  assembled  at  Philadeliihia  in 
Sept.,  1774,  and  on  the  15th  day  of  June,  1775,  made 
choice,  unanimously,  of  George  Washington,  to  com- 
mand all  the  Continental  Forces  raised  or  to  be  raised 
for  the  defence  of  American  Liberty  —  and  on  the  17tb, 
Artemas  Ward,  Esquire,  was  chosen  first  Maj.  General, 
and  Charles  Lee,  Esquire,  second  Maj,  General. 


WARD   FAMILY. 

In  April,  1776,  Gen.  Ward  represented  to  Congress 
the  feeble  state  of  his  health  and  his  unwillingness  to  con- 
tinue in  office  and  receive  its  emoluments,  while  pre- 
vented bj  ill  health  from  rendering  an  equivalent  in  the 
service,  and  requested  Congress  to  accept  his  resignation 
of  the  office  of  Maj.  General.  He  continued  in  the  ser- 
vice at  the  request  of  Gen.  Washington  and  of  the  Con- 
tinental Congress  until  the  close  of  that  year.  In  1777 
he  was  elected  by  the  House  of  Reps,  a  member  of  the 
Executive  Council  of  the  State  of  Massachusetts,  and  by 
the  Council,  President  of  that  Board;  and  in  1779,  ap- 
pointed a  member  of  the  Continental  Congress,  but  pre- 
vented by  ill  health  from  taking  a  seat  in  that  body. 

After  the  adoption  of  the  Federal  Constitution,  he  was 
elected  and  re-elected  a  member  of  Congress. 

A  monument  in  the  burying-ground  at  Shrewsbury 
erected  to  his  memory  has  the  following  inscription,  con- 
taining a  condensed  account  of  the  principal  stations  in 
which  he  acted  his  part  in  an  eventful  period  of  our 
country's  history : — 

Majoi'  General  Artemas  Ward, 

son  of  Col.  Nalium  Ward, 

H.  U.  1748  ;  1762  a  Justice,  and  1776,  Chief  Justice  of  the 

C.  C.  Pleas  for  the  County  of  Worcester. 

1758  a  Major  in  the  expedition  against  Canada. 

1759  appointed  Col. ;  1766  his  commission,  as  Col.,  revoked 

for  his  inflexible  opposition  to  arbitrary  power  ; 

whereupon  he  informed  the  Royal  Governor 

that  he  had  been  tivice  honored. 

1 768  chosen  one  of  the  Executive  Council  and  by  the 

Royal  Governor,  and  for  the  same  reason,  negatived 

and  deprived  of  a  seat  at  that  Board. 

1775  appointed  to  the  command  of  the  Army 

at  Cambridge  ;  and  by  the  Continental  Congress, 

first  Maj.  General  in  the  Army  of  the  Revolution. 

1779  appointed  a  member  of  the  Continental  Congress 

and  under  the  Federal  Government,  repeatedly 

elected  a  member. 
16  years  a  Rep.  from  this  town  in  the  Legislature 
and  in  1785 
Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives. 
Firmness  of  mind  and  integrity  of  purpose  were  characteristic  of 
his  whole  life  —  so  that  he  was  never  swayed  by  the  applause  or 
censure  of  man,  but  ever  acted  under  a  deep  sense  of  duty  to  his 
country  and  accountability  to  his  God.  ^ 
Long  will  his  memory  be  precious  among  the  friends  of 
Liberty  and  Religion.

(111)  V.  Col.  JOSEPH  WARD  [328.3]  was  in  single 
life  at  the  commencement  of  the  Revolutionary  war  — 
prior  to  that  eventful  period,  he  had  become  conspicuous 
for  his  ardent  patriotism,  and  his  many  spirited  contri- 
butions to  the  public  prints,  filled  with  touching  appeals 
to  his  fellow-citizens  to  defend  their  rights,  let  come  what 
■would.  Gen.  Ward,  upon  taking  command  of  the  army 
at  Cambridge,  appointed  him  his  aid-de-camp  and  secre- 
tary ;  his  orderly  book,  for  the  most  part,  is  in  the  hand 
writing  of  Col.  Ward.  He  was  afterwards  appointed 
Muster-master  General  by  Gen.  Washington,  taken  pris- 
oner at  Long  Island,  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1778,

and  exchanged  in  April,  1779  ;  for  the  procurement  of 
which  the  Executive  Council  of  Massachusetts  had  warm- 
ly interceded.  In  a  letter  of  grateful  acknowledgments 
to  that  body  for  this  distinguished  favor,  he  says :  "  It  is 
a  new  incitement  to  exertions  in  the  cause  of  freedom  ; 
and  may  that  hour  alone,  which  closes  my  life,  termi- 
nate my  efforts  for  the  happiness  of  my  country."  He 
rejoined  the  army  and  continued  in  the  service  until  Feb., 
1780  ;  when  he  returned  and  settled  in  Boston,  where 
he  m.  Prudence,  Nov.  30,  1784,  daughter  of  Jacob 
Bird,  of  Dorchester,  andb.  Feb.  28, 1765.  Some  years 
after  he  removed  to  Newton,  his  native  town,  which  he 
represented  in  the  Gen.  Court.  In  1804,  he  returned 
with  his  family  to  Boston,  and  d.  there  Feb.  14,  1812,

Extract  from  an  obituary  notice  of  the  death  of  Col. 
Ward,  published  in  the  Columbian  Centinel,  Boston, 
Feb.  22,  1812 :  — 

"  In  tracing  the  actions  of  the  amiable  patriot  who  has 
now  closed  his  virtuous  career,  we  behold  him,  at  the  com- 
mencement of  hostilities  in  1775,  animating  his  fellow- 
countrymen  by  his  example  and  his  counsels  —  pourtray- 
ing  the  dangers  that  were  about  to  assail  them,  and  ex- 
hibiting the  firmness  with  which  such  dangers  should  be 
met.  He  stood  among  the  first  to  unsheath  his  sword, 
and  defend  the  violated  rights  of  his  country.  Distin- 
guished by  sentiments  elevated  and  patriotic  as  these,  he 
was  selected  as  the  Aid-de-Camp  of  the  Commander  in 
Chief.      He  afterwards   received   the  appointment   of 


62  WARD   FAMILY. 

Muster-master  General,  with  the  rank  of  Colonel.  In 
1780,  this  office  was  associated  with  that  of  Inspector 
General  of  Discipline.  Col.  Ward  acquiesced  with  satis- 
faction in  this  arrangement,  and  received  in  a  style,  equal- 
ly flattering  to  his  character  and  his  conduct,  the  appro- 
bation of  Gen.  Washington  for  the  exemplary  manner  in 
which  he  had  discharged  the  duties  of  his  office.  With 
dignity  he  retired  from  the  army,  possessed  of  the  affec- 
tion and  esteem  of  his  brother  officers  and  soldiers.  His 
talents  adorned,  and  his  virtues  were  the  charm  of  private 
life.  The  influence  of  religion  over  his  mind,  was  equally 
conspicuous,  whether  warmed  by  the  genial  sun  of  pros- 
perity, or  chilled  by  the  winter  blasts  of  adversity.  In 
public  transactions,  Justice  was  the  pole  star,  and  truth 
the  guide  of  his  conduct. 

Firmly  relying  on  this  foundation,  he  considered,  that 
he  rested  on  that  which  would  never  fail ;  with  confidence 
he  vested  his  fortune  in  evidences  of  property  guaranteed 
by  the  public  engagements  of  his  country,  and  in  titles  to 
land  granted  and  sanctioned  by  the  faith  of  the  Legisla- 
ture of  a  State.  To  the  last  moment  of  his  life,  he  advo- 
cated his  claims  with  a  clearness  of  conception,  and  a 
strength  of  argument,  the  truth  of  which  must  ever  be  felt 
and  admired.  Although  he  is  dead,  the  principles  of  jus- 
tice and  good  faith  still  live  ;  and  that  the  widow  and  the 
orphan  may  yet  feel  their  influence,  is  the  pi-ayer  of  a 
sincere  friend  to  suffering  virtue."  It  may  be  here  re- 
marked, that  ever  since  his  death,  justice  has  been  in  a 
profound  sleep.

savage  allies,  then  within  a  few  miles  of  her  dwelling,  fled 
to  Bennington,  forty  miles  through  a  wilderness,  on  foot, 
"with  her  children,  carrying  the  youngest  in  her  arms, 
and  without  a  man  to  protect  them,  or  guide,  except 
blazed  trees,  to  direct  her  way.  They  reached  there  in 
safety,  and  quickly  followed  the  battle  at  Bennington  and 
the  surrender  of  Burgoyne. 

The  family  returned  to  Poultney,  where  he  continued  to 
reside  until  his  death,  Aug.  3,  1819.  His  wid.,  Lucy, 
d.  at  Poultney,  Jan.  6,1846,  at  the  age  of  98  years.  The 
following  is  an  extract  from  an  obituary  notice  of  him, 
published  in  a  Vermont  newspaper,  a  few  days  after  his 
death :  — 

"  Died,  at  his  residence  in  Poultney,  on  the  3d  inst., 
(Aug.,  1819,)  the  Hon.  William  Ward,  aged  76.  He 
was  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  the  town,  and  during  the 
Revolutionary  war  took  an  active  and  zealous  part  in  his 
country's  defence.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Convention 
which  framed  the  Constitution  of  the  State.  He  was  six 
years  one  of  the  Judges  of  the  County  Court,  for  the 
County  of  Rutland,  and  twenty-two  years  Judge  of  Pro- 
bate, for  the  District  of  Fairhaven, 

He  served  forty  years  as  a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  and 
represented  the  town  in  the  State  Legislature  eighteen

years.  He  made  a  public  profession  of  religion  more 
than  fifty  years,  and  served  as  a  Deacon  of  a  church 
nearly  forty  years.  His  health  was  always  remarkably 
good  —  he  was  never  confined  to  his  bed  an  hour  by 
sickness  ;  never  had  a  bone  broken  or  dislocated  —  never 
took  an  emetic,  nor  a  cathartic.  He  was  never  bled,  nor 
did  he  ever  lose  a  meal  of  victuals,  'till  the  Friday  be- 
fore his  death." 

"  It  ought  to  be  remarked,  that,  as  a  neighbor,  he 
was  universally  beloved  ;  as  a  citizen,  he  was  highly  es- 
teemed and  respected  ;  and,  as  a  Christian,  venerated. 
No  one  said  ought  against  him  ;  he  always  performed 
the  various  duties  assigned  him,  whether  public  or  pri- 
vate, civil  or  religious,  with  perfect  fidelity  and  integri- 
ty."    His  chil.  were,

S.  Pease,  of  Albany,  N.  Y. 

The  name  of  Pease  is  supposed  to  have  been,  originally.  Pea. 
The  transition  from  Pea  to  Peas  is  a  natural  one  ;  the  latter  being 
the  possessive  case  of  the  former.  The  e  final,  has  been  in  use  for 
a  long  period.  In  the  Arms  of  an  ancient  Pease  family,  a  Dove, 
holding  in  her  beak  a  pea-stalk,  with  blossoms  and  pods,  as  said  by 
F.  S.  Pease,  is  significant  of  the  origin  of  the  name.

INDIVIDUAL    AND    FAMILY    NAMES. 

BY    THE   REV.    WILLIAM    COGSWELL,  D.D. 
"  WHAT  'S    IN   A   NAME  ?  " 

Imago  animi,  vultus  ;  vitae,  Nomen  est.  —  Puteanus. 

Individual  Names,  or  Names  of  Individuals,  were  given  for  the 
distinction  of  persons,  one  from  another,  as  Adam,  Eve,  Noah, 
Abraham,  Sarah,  Paul  and  John.  Such  names  have  always  been 
in  use,  and,  at  the  present  day,  are  generally  termed  christian  or 
baptismal  names.  They  were  adopted  originally,  to  a  great  extent, 
from  the  consideration  of  their  signification.  As  an  illustration  of 
this  remark,  we  present  the  following  names :  —  First,  of  men ; 
namely,  Adam  —  earthy,  taken  out  of  the  earth;  Abel — just; 
Alexander  —  helper  of  men  ;  Andrew  —  manful ;  Benjamin  —  son 
of  the  right  hand  ;  Caleb  —  hearty  ;  Chrysostom  —  golden  mouth  ; 
Constantino  —  firm;  Daniel — judgment  of  God;  David  —  be- 
loved; Edmund — happy;  Edwin  —  happy  victor;  Edward  — 
happy  keeper  ;  Ellis,  (corruptly  for  Elias)  —  Lord  God  ;  Erasmus 

—  amiable  ;  Francis  —  free  ;  Frederic  —  rich  peace  ;  Gabriel  — 
man  of  God  ;  George  —  husbandman;  Godfrey — God's  peace  ; 
Goodrich  —  rich  in  God  ;  Hector  —  defender  ;  Humi^hrey  —  house 
peace  ;  Hierome  —  holy  name  ;  Isaac  —  laughter  ;  Israel  —  pre- 
vailing in  the  Lord  ;  John  —  gracious  ;  Joseph  —  increase  of  the 
Lord  ;  Leonard  —  lion-hearted  ;  Luke  —  luminous  ;  Matthew  — 
reward  ;  Moses  —  drawn  forth  ;  Nathaniel  —  the  gift  of  God  ; 
Neale  —  blackish ;  Nicholas  —  conqueror  ;  Oswald  —  Steward  ; 
Paul  —  wonderful;  Phillippe  —  lover  of  horses  ;  Robert  —  famous 
in  counsel ;  Roger  —  quiet ;  Reuben  —  vision  of  the  sun  ;  Seaborn 

—  born  upon  the  sea  ;  Sebastian  —  majestic  ;  Sylvanus  —  wood- 
man ;  Stephen  —  a  crown;    Theophilus  —  lover  of  God;  Thomas 

—  a  twin  ;  Vincent  —  victorious;  William — a  defence  of  many  ; 
Wilfred  —  much  peace  ;  Zachariah  —  the  memory  of  the  Lord  : : — 
Secondly,  of  women  :  namely,  Abigail  —  the  father's  joy ;  Alice  — 
noble  ;  Adeline  —  descending  from  nobles  ;  Barbara  —  strange  ; 
Catharine  —  chaste  ;  Clara  —  bright ;  Dorcas  —  a  roebuck ;  Elea- 
nor —  pitiful ;  Eve  —  giving  life  ;  Florence  —  flourishing ;  Joanna 

—  grace  of  the  Lord  ;  Judith  —  praising ;  Lucia  —  lightsome  ; 
Mary  —  exalted  ;  Margaret  —  precious  ;  Priscilla  —  ancient ; 
Rosamund  —  rose  of  the  world  ;  Susanna  —  lily  ;  Sophia  —  wis- 
dom ;  Theodosia  —  God's  gift ;  Ursula  —  little  bear.     Thus,  chris- 


INDIVIDUAL    AND    FAMILY    NAMES.  249 

tian  names  were  original!}^  given  as  expressive  of  some  circumstance 
ot"  birth,  personal  quality  possessed,  good  desired  by  parents,  or  some 
other  reason.  Much  importance  was  attached  to  the  name  as  indi- 
cating the  fortune  of  the  child.  Hence  the  proverb,  "  Bonum  no- 
'men,  bonum  omen.'''' 

Family  names  were  given  for  the  purpose  of  particularizing  fam- 
ilies. They  are  a  sort  of  hereditary  distinction,  and  are  called  by 
the  French  and  English,  surnames,  because  added  to  christian  or 
baptismal  names.  In  the  early  state  of  society  among  the  Jews, 
Egyptians,  Persians,  Greeks,  Romans,  Germans,  Gauls,  Britons, 
indeed  among  every  nation,  no  individual  had  more  than  one  name  ; 
but  in  a  more  advanced  or  refined  period,  an  additional  name  was 
given,  in  order  to  mark  the  different  families  to  which  individuals 
belonged,  as  well  as  to  distinguish  members  of  the  same  family  from 
each  other.  Among  the  Greeks  a  few  families  at  Athens  and 
Sparta  had  family  names.  When  the  league  was  established  be- 
tween the  Romans  and  the  Sabines,  to  confirm  which  it  was  cove- 
nanted that  the  Romans  should  add  Sabine  names  to  theirs,  and  that 
the  Sabines  should  add  Roman  names  to  theirs.  These  were  termed 
nomina  Grentilitia,  et  cognomina,  as  their  previous  names  were 
termed  prceriomina.  Commonly  among  the  Romans,  each  person 
had  three  names ;  namely,  a  proper  name  Qprcenomen,  which  dis- 
tinguished the  individual,)  the  name  of  the  clan,  (nonien,')  and  the 
family  name,  cognomen.^  Sometimes  also  a  surname  was  added, 
which  was  given  on  account  of  some  distinguished  exploit  or  re- 
markable event.  The  proenomen  was  placed  first,  and  usually  writ- 
ten with  one  or  two  letters  ;  as  M.  for  Marcus,  Q.  for  Quintus,  On. 
for  Cneius.  Then  followed  the  nomen  ;  as  Fabius,  Julius,  (from 
the  clan  (gens,')  Fabian,  Julian.)  Lastly  came  the  cognomen  ;  as 
Cicero,  Sclpio.  In  the  name  M.  TulUus  Cicero,  M.  is  the  prceno- 
men,  which  distinguishes  him  from  his  brother  Quintus  ;  Tullius, 
the  nomen,  which  distinguishes  the  clan,  {gens  ;)  and  Cicero,  the 
cognomen,  which  shows  his  family.  An  instance  of  a  surname, 
(agnomen,)  is  Africanus,  added  to  Sciino  ;  as  Publius  Cornelius 
Sdpio  Africanus. 

The  Hebrews  in  their  genealogies,  instead  of  surnames,  used  the 
name  of  the  father  with  Ben,  which  signifies  son,  as  Melchi,  Ben 
Addi;  Addi,  Ben  Cosam  ;  Cosam,  Ben  Elmadam  ;  —  that  is,  Mel- 
chi, son  of  Addi ;  Addi,  son  of  Cosam  ;  Cosam,  son  of  Elmadam. 
A  similar  practice  prevailed  among  our  English  ancestors,  as  Ceon- 
red  Ceolwalding,  Ceolwald  Cuthing,  Cuth,  Cuthwinning  ;  —  that  is, 
Ceonred,  son  of  Ceolwald,  Ceolwald,  son  of  Cuth,  Cuth,  son  of 
Cuthwin,  the  termination  or  suffix,  ing,  meaning  son  or  offspring. 
In  the  same  sense,  the  Welsh  Britons  used  Ap,  (son,)  as  Ap  Owen  ; 
32 


250  INDIVIDUAL   AND   FAMILY   NAMES. 

Owen,  Ap  Harry  ;  Harry,  Ap  Rhese  ;  —  that  is,  son  of  Owen; 
Owen,  son  of  Harry  ;  Harry,  son  of  Rhese.  The  same  may  be 
said  with  regard  to  the  Scotch  in  the  use  of  Mac,  (son,)  as  Donald, 
Mac  Wharter;  Wharter,  Mac  Dowell ;  Dowell,  Mac  Clelland  ;  — 
that  is,  Donald,  son  of  Wharter  ;  Wharter,  son  of  Dowell ;  Dowell, 
son  of  Clehand.  With  the  Irish,  the  expression  for  son  is  Oy  or 
0' ;  as  O'Neal ;  Neal,  O'Riley  ;  Riley,  O'Brien  ;  Brien,  O'Con- 
nel ;  Connell,  O'Harra  ;  —  that  is,  son  of  Neal ;  Neal,  son  of  Riley ; 
Riley,  son  of  Brien ;  Brien,  son  of  Connel  ;  Connell,  son  of  Hara. 
In  like  manner,  the  old  Normans  in  their  surnames  used  Fitz,  a 
corruption  for  Fitz,  (son,)  as  John,  Fitz  Robert ;  Robert,  Fitz 
William ;  William,  Fitz  Hugh  ;  Hugh,  Fitz  Gerald  ;  Gerald,  Fitz 
Herbert ;  Herbert,  Fitz  Roy. 

Surnames  began  to  be  used  by  the  French  nation  about  the  com- 
mencement of  the  eleventh  century,*  and  by  the  English  nation 
about  the  time  of  William,  the  Conqueror,  in  1066,  when  the  Con- 
quest was  achieved,  or,  as  some  suppose,  as  early  as  Edward,  the 
Confessor,  who  began  his  reign  in  1041.  It  is  certain  that  the 
occasional  use  of  surnames  in  England  dates  beyond  the  ingress  of 
the  Normans.  But  before  the  Conquest  it  was  usual  for  persons  to 
subscribe  to  deeds  and  all  legal  instruments,  with  a  cross  and  a  sin- 
gle name,  without  a  surname,  in  the  following  manner:  -[-Ego 
Eadredus  confirmani ;  -|-  Ego  Edmundus  corroborani ;  +  Ego  Si- 
garius  conclusi.  In  the  authentic  record  of  the  Exchequer  in 
England,  called  the  Doomsday  Book,  surnames  are  first  found  in 
public  records  in  established  order.  The  Scotch  date  the  use  of 
surnames  about  the  time  the  English  do ;  but  it  is  not  certain  that 
they  are  correct  in  doing  it.  In  England  these  names  were  intro- 
duced gradually.  They  were  first  assumed  by  the  people  of  the 
"  better  sort,"  generally,  who  took  the  names  of  their  estates,  and 
it  was  not  until  the  reign  of  Edward  II.,  (1307,)  that  they  were 
"  settled  among  the  common  people  fully."  In  Germany  and  some 
kindred  nations,  family  names  were  little  used  by  the  commoners 
before  the  fourteenth  century.  The  most  current  opinion  is,  that 
surnames  can  scarcely  be  said  to  have  been  permanently  settled  be- 
fore the  era  of  the  Reformation,  in  the  sixteenth  century. f 

The  origin  of  surnames  is  various.  The  greatest  number,  proba,- 
bly,  are  derived  from  towns,  villages,  seats  or  patrimonial  posses- 
sions. The  most  ancient,  says  the  learned  Camden,  are  from 
places  in  Normandy,  and  countries  adjoining  it.  All  names  having 
the  French  Z'e,  Du,  Des,  De  la  prefixed,  or  beginning  or  ending 

*  Ducange  says  the  use  of  surnames  in  France  began  about  the  year  987, 
when  the  barons  adopted  the  practice  of  desisrnating  themselves  by  their  estates,

INDIVIDUAL   AND    FAMILY    NAMES.  251 

with  Font,  Faiit,  Beau,  Saint,  Mont,  Bois,  Aux,  are  of  this  descrip- 
tion. The  names  of  Warren,  Mortimer,  Percy,  Devereaux,  Har- 
court,  Tracy,  Montfort,  and  Cayly  are  derived  from  places  in  Nor- 
mandy. Indeed,  there  is  scarcely  a  village  in  that  country  which 
has  not  given  a  name  to  some  family  in  England.  From  places  in 
France  are  derived  the  names  of  Courtney,  Bollein,  Paris,  Corby, 
Bohun,  Saint  George,  Saint  Andrew,  Cressy,  Lyons,  Loring,*  and 
Beaumont.  Nearly  all  the  towns,  villages  and  hamlets,  also,  in 
England  and  Scotland,  have  given  names  to  families,  as  Murray, 
Clifford,  Stafford,  Gordon,  Douglass,  Heydon,  Barkeley,  Leigh, 
Hastings,  Hamleton,  Booths,  Clinton,  Cotton,  Hume,  Stanhope, 
Sydenham,  Arlington,  Whitney,  Wentworth,  Fanshaw,  Carie, 
Hartshorne,  Gilford,  Bassett,  Howard,  Talbot,  Lovell,  Tirell,  Blunt, 
and  Bissett.  Most  of  the  families  in  Cornwall  have  names,  a  con- 
stituent part  of  which  is  contained  in  the  following  distich  : 

"  By  Tre,  Ros,  Pol,  Lan,  Caer  and  Pen,f 
You  may  know  the  most  Cornish  men." 

All  names,  which  in  England  had  Of  set  before  them,  which  in 
Cheshire  and  the  North  was  contracted  into  A,  as  Thomas,  a  But- 
ton, John  a  Standish,  Adam  a  Kirby,  or  which  in  Latin  had  Be 
prefixed,  were  derived  from  places.  The  same  may  be  said,  to  a 
considerable  extent,  of  those  names  which  had  Le  before  them. 
Under  the  head  of  local  names  may  be  placed  also  such  as  Hill, 
Wood,  Field,  Pool,  Pond. 

Next  to  local  names  or  those  derived  from  places,  the  most  nume- 
rous are  those  derived  from  trades  or  professions,  as  Archer,  Brew- 
er, Brazier,  Baker,  Carpenter,  Goldsmith,  Cutter,  Fisher,  Taylor, 
Potter,  Smith,  Saddler,  Painter,  Webster,  Wheeler,  Wright, 
Wheelwright,  Mason,  Gardner,  Turner. 

Some  names  have  been  assumed  from  office,  as  Chamberlain, 
Cooke,  Marshall,  Sergeant,  Foster,  Fowler,  Page,  Butler,  Clarke, 
Proctor,  Abbot,  Bishop,  Priest,  Dean. 

Names  have  been  taken  from  titles  of  honor,  dignity,  or  estate,  as 
King,  Prince,  Lord,  Baron,  Knight,  Squire. 

Names  also  have  been  derived  from  bodily  or  mental  quahties,  as 
Goodman,  Wise,  Proud,  Strong,  Armstrong,  Long,  Low,  Short, 
Little. 

Periods  of  life  have  given  rise  to  names,  as  Old,  Young,  Child, 

Baby.  ♦ 

*  The  name  of  Loring,  though  not  found  in  the  Roll  of  Battel  Abbey,  by 
Fox,  is  found  in  Leland's  copy  of  the  Roll,  to  wliich  J.ower,  ni  his  Essays  on 
Entrlish  Surnames,  says  "  The  preference  ought  unquestionably  to  be  con- 
ceded."    The  name  Loring  is  derived  from  Lorraine,  a  provmoe  in  France. 

t  These  words  signify  in  order  a  town,  a  heath,  a  pool,  a  church,  a  castle,  a 
promontory. 


252  INDIVIDUAL    AND    FAMILY    NAMES. 

Some  names  have  been  derived  from  parts  of  the  body,  as  Head, 
Whitehead,  Legge,  Foot,  Arm,  Heart ;  and  others  from  the  color 
of  complexion  or  dress,  as  White,  Black,  Brown,  Green  ;  and  others 
again  from  fruits  and  flowers,  as  Pear,  Peach,  Lilly,  Hose. 

Many  names  are  derived  from  beasts,  as  Lamb,  Lyon,  Bear, 
Buck,  Fox,  Wolf,  Hog,  Boe,  Badger,  Hind,  Hare ;  others  from 
birds,  as  Dove,  Lark,  Nightingale,  Swallow,  Peacock,  Sparrow, 
Swan,  Woodcock,  Crow,  Wren,  Parrott;  and  others  from  fishes,  as 
Pike,  Crab,  Bass,  Salmon,  Haddock. 

A  considerable  number  of  surnames  have  oriirinated  from  chris- 
tian  names,  as  Francis,  Leonard,  Herbert,  Giles,  Lewis,  Humph- 
rey, James,  Jacob,  Daniel,  Thomas,  Anthony,  Alexander. 

The  names  of  Corbet,  Goodwin,  Goodj-ich,  Fabyan,  Hervey, 
Howard,  Osburn,  Payne,  Searle,  Star,  Swain,  Wade,  Warner, 
HamUn,  Talbot,  Wade,  and  Maynard  were  formerly  christian 
names,  and  in  use  about  the  time  of  William  the  Conqueror. 

Many  surnames  are  formed  by  the  addition  of  son  to  a  christian 
name,  as  Williamson,  Robertson,  Richardson,  Johnson. 

Nicknames  or  nursenames  have,  in  process  of  time,  become  fam- 
ily names :  as  Bill,  or  Billy,  for  William  ;  Dick,  or  Dickey,  for 
Richard. 

We  might  proceed  to  give  other  specimens  of  the  origin  of  names  ; 
but  our  limits  will  not  permit  us  to  enlarge.  A  sufficient  number 
has  been  presented  to  show  that  it  is  almost  indefinitely  various.  It 
is  computed  that  there  are  between  twenty  and  thirty  thousand 
surnames  in  England  alone.  Their  origin,  too,  is  often  curious. 
Persons  fond  of  the  study  of  individual  or  family  nomenclature,  will 
be  entertained  and  instructed  with  the  perusal  of  Camden's  British 
Remains,  Lower  on  English  Surnames,  Chambers'  and  Brande's 
Dictionaries,  and  the  different  Encyclopi'edias  on  this  subject,  to 
which  we  have  been  greatly  indebted  in  preparing  this  piece. 

[  The  forgoinn-  article  is  from  the  second  number  of  the  New  England  His- 
torical and  Genealogical  Register,  for  1848  ;  a  quarterly  publication,  com- 
menced in  1847,  and  continued  to  be  published,  at  Boston,  in  quarterly 
numbers,  exceeding  200  pages  each,  by  Samuel  G.  Drake,  at  $2  per  annum, 
or  $2.37  per  vol.,  the  four  numbers,  handsomely  bound,  —  a  Avork  highly  in- 
teresting, and  abounding  in  matter  "  curious,  useful  and  entertaining,"  and 
worthy  the  patronage  of  every  one  who  has  the  least  mental  relish  for  genea- 
logical and  antiquarian  lore. 


OEIGIN  OF  THE  NAMES  OF  THE  DAYS  OF  THE  WEEK,  AND 
OF  THE  NAMES  OF  THE  MONTHS. 

Sunday,  the  first  day  of  the  week,  now  generally  termed  Sab- 
bath day,  was  called  Sun's  day,  being  a  day  anciently  dedicated  to 
the  tSiai. 

Monday,  a  compound  word  of  3Ioon  and  dai/ ;  a  day  formerly 
sacred  to  that  planet. 

Tuesday,  is  from  Tnesdaeg,  the  name  of  a  deity,  that  presided 
over  combats  and  litigation  ;  hence  Tuesday  is  Court  day,  assize 
day,  the  day  for  combat  or  commencing  litigation. 

Wednesday,  anciently  Wodiyi's  day,  from  Wodin,  a  deity  among 
the  northern  nations  of  Europe. 

Thursday,  from  Thor's  day ;  the  day  consecrated  to  Thor,  the 
god  of  thunder. 

Friday,  from  Friga's  day ;  a  day  consecrated  to  Friga,  the 
venus  of  the  north. 

Saturday,  from  Saturn's  day  ;  a  day  devoted  to  Saturn,  one  of 
the  most  ancient  of  the  heathen  gods  ;  the  reputed  son  of  Callus 
and  Terra,  (Heaven  and  Earth,)  and  father  of  Jupiter. 

Instead  of  these  names,  the  early  settlers  of  New  England  used 
the  words,  first,  second,  third,  fourth,  fifth,  sixth  and  seventh,  to  de- 
note the  several  successive  days  of  the  Aveek,  and  the  like  words, 
up  to  the  twelfth,  to  designate  the  several  months  in  the  year  ;  but, 
when  writing,  they  more  frequently  made  use  of  Arabic  numerals, 
from  1  to  12,  to  designate  the  months;  "  because  they  would  avoid 
all  memory  of  heathenish  and  Idol's  names." 

At  the  foundation  of  Rome,  about  750  years  before  the  Christian 
era,  the  year  consisted  of  ten  months,  and  of  them  March  was  ac- 
counted the  first  month  in  the  year.  Two  others,  January  and 
February,  were  subsequently  added  by  Numa  Pompilius ;  whereby 
the  year  consisted  of  twelve  months,  January  being  the  eleventh 
and  February  the  twelfth  and  last  month  in  the  year ;  the 
length  of  which  was  established  by  Julius  Caesar,  who  appointed 
it  to  consist  of  365  days  and  6  hours  ;  which  6  hours  made  one 
day  in  four  years  ;  and  that  day  every  fourth  year,  added  to  the 
number  of  days  in  February,  makes  that  year  to  consist  of  360  days, 
and  is  called  leap  year,  on  account  of  its  leaping  forward  one  day. 

He  also  placed  January  at  the  Winter  solstice,  followed  by  Feb- 
ruary ;    whereby   January  became    the   first  month,   March,  the 


254  DAYS  OF  THE  WEEK  AND  MONTHS. 

third,  and  December  the  twelfth  and  last  month  in  the  year.     This 
is  called  the  Julian  Calender. 

January  is  from  the  Latin,  Januarius,  so  called  from  Janus,  an 
ancient  Italian  King,  who  was  deified  after  his  death.  A  Temple, 
and  in  it  a  Statue,  was  erected  in  honor  of  him  ;  the  latter  repre- 
sented him  with  two  faces,  looking  in  opposite  directions  ;  upon  the 
joasi  and  upon  the /i^^t^re,  January  being  the  boundary  month  be- 
tween successive  years,  the  one  face  was  towards  the  retiring,  the 
other  towards  the  coming  year.  Hence  the  expression  "  Jayms- 
faced^''  now  used  as  a  term  of  reproach. 

February  is  from  the  Latin,  Februo,  to  purify  by  sacrifice,  and 
thus  signified  the  month  of  purification. 

March,  from  the  Latin,  Martius,  Mars,  the  god  of  war. 

April,  from  the  Latin,  Aprilis,  opening,  open ;  because  in  this 
month  all  things  are,  as  it  were,  opened  and  budded. 

May,  from  the  goddess  Maia,  wife  of  Jupiter  and  the  mother  of 
Mercury ;  to  her  sacrifices  were  offered  on  the  first  day  of  the 
month.  At  this  late  period  flowers  are  sacrificed  on  that  day,  if 
not  to  her. 

June,  from  Juno,  the  queen  of  the  goddesses,  and  patroness  of 
marriage  and  wedded  life. 

July,  from  Julius,  the  surname  of  Caius  Caesar,  the  Dictator, 
•who  was  born  in  this  month.  Mark  Antony  first  gave  this  month 
the  name  of  July  ;  previously  it  was  called  Quintilis,  signifying  the 
fifth  month  in  the  year  according  to  the  old  Roman  calender. 

August  was  so  called  in  honor  of  the  Emperor,  Octavius 
Augustus,  who  entered  upon  his  first  consulate  in  this  month  ; 
previous  to  which  it  was  called  Sextilis,  six,  the  sixth  month  from 
March. 

September,  from  the  Latin,  septem,  seven,  the  seventh  month. 

October,  from  the  Latin,  octo,  eight,  the  eighth  month  of  the 
primitive  Roman  year. 

November,  from  the  Latin,  novem,  nine,  the  ninth  month,  and 

December  also  from  the  Latin,  decent,  ten,  the  tenth  and  last 
month  in  the  year  of  the  early  Romans.] 


OLD  AND  NEW  STYLE. 

Style,  in  Chronology,  is  the  method  of  computing  time  accord- 
ing to  the  JuUan  and  Gregorian  calender.  The  former  is  called 
old,  and  the  latter,  new  style. 

The  Julian  calender,  of  which  we  have  already  spoken,  was 
found  to  be  erroneous,  as  it  contained  more  than  eleven  minutes  in 
a  year  too  much.  This  excess  amounted  to  ten  days  in  1582  ;  in 
which  year  Pope  Gregory  XIIL,  con-ected  that  calender,  and, 
to  bring  the  vernal  equinox,  which  happened  on  the  ninth  of  March 
in  that  year,  to  the  twenty-first  of  that  month  in  future  year's,  and 
as  it  occurred  in  325,  directed  that  the  year  1582  should  consist  of 
365  days  only,  and  that  ten  days  be  abated  between  the  fourth  and 
fifteenth  of  October  in  that  year ;  and  furthermore,  to  preserve  fu- 
ture regularity  in  the  seasons,  he  ordered  that  no  year  ending  a 
century  should  be  leap  year,  excepting  each  four  hundredth  year  ; 
whereby  three  days  are  abated  in  every  four  hundred  years,  three 
days  being  nearly  equal  to  eleven  minutes  for  every  year  in  that 
period. 

By  each  four  hundredth  year  is  meant  the  closing  year  of  that 
number  of  centuries,  that  can  be  divided  by  400  without  a  remain- 
der. Such  are  leap  years  of  366  days  ;  when  there  is  a  remain- 
der, they  are  common  years,  or  years  of  365  days.  Thus  1600, 
2000,  and  2400  are  leap  years  while  1700,  1800,  and  1900,  are 
common  years  ;  and  all  other  years  in  a  century,  which  can  be  di- 
vided by  4  without  a  remainder,  are  also  leap  years,  as  1804,  1808, 
1812,  &c. 

This  calender  was  soon  adopted  in  most  countries,  but  for  a  time 
rejected  by  our  Protestant  ancestors,  on  account  of  its  pagan  and 
popish  origin. 

At  length,  by  an  act  of  Parliament,  in  1751,  it  was  adopted  in 
England,  and  thereby  extended  to  her  colonies. 

That  Act  provided  for  regulating  the  commencement  of  the  year, 
abated  eleven  days  of  September,  1751,  the  third  to  be  accounted 
the  fourteenth,  and  the  year  to  commence  on  the  first  day  of  Janu- 
ary, 1752. 

The  difference  between  old  and  new  style,  was,  previous  to  1700, 
ten  days  only :  but  as  that  year  contained  only  365  days,  by  the 
Gregorian  calender,  instead  of  366,  as  by  the  Julian,  it  became, 
after  1700,  eleven  days,  and  another  being  lost  by  the  omission  of 
I  ap  year  in  1800,  the  difference  now  is  twelve  days. 


256  OLD    AND    NEW    STYLE. 

Previous  to  1752,  two  methods  of  commencing  the  year  pre- 
vailed in  England  ;  the  EcchsiaMical,  as  also  the  Legal  year  com- 
menced on  the  tiventy-jifth  of  March,  and  the  Historical  year  on 
the  ^^rs^  of  January. 

This  two-fold  practice  of  beginning  the  year,  led  to  double  dating 
the  year,  between  the  first  of  January  and  the  twenty-fifth  of 
March  ;  as,  for  instance,  10th  of  Feb.,  1725-6.  These  figures 
denote,  the  4  first  the  Ecclesiastical  and  Legal  year,  beginning  in 
March,  while  the  fifth,  or  suffix  (i,  denotes  the  Historical  year. 

These  months  were  frequently  written  in  Arabic  numbers,  in- 
stead of  being  expressed  by  their  names,  and  preceded  by  the  num- 
ber of  the  days  in  the  month.  This  practice  ceased  in  1752,  when 
the  year  for  all  purposes  was  made  to  begin  on  the  first  day  of 
January.
