1604,  his  baptism  is  not  recorded,  there  being  a  break  in  the 
records  from  1602  to  1610,  but  we  find  his  name  in  his  father's 
will  in  1608.  He  m.  in  Halifax  Parish,  Apr.  11,  1629,  Mary 
Gawkroger  or  Platts.  They  lived  for  a  time  in  Sowerby,  where 
five  of  their  children  were  born,  three  of  whom  were  brought  to 
America,  two  buried  at  Sowerby.  In  1638,  he  was  living  in  the 
Island  of  Barbadoes,  owning  more  than  ten  acres  of  land  on  the 
Island  as  proved  by  an  old  record  recently  found  upon  the  Island. 
In  1640,  he  came  to  New  England,  settled  for  a  time  in  Water- 
town,  where  he  had  large  grants  of  land  alotted  to  him.  In  1643 
he  associated  himself  with  Thomas  King  and  others,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  purchasing  of  Sholan,  the  Indian  Sachem  of  the  Nasha- 
way  tribe  of  Indians,  a  tract  of  land  for  a  township,  which  was  to 
be  ten  miles  long  and  eight  in  breadth,  known  as  the  "  Nashaway 
plantation,"  afterwards,  Lancaster,  Mass.,  one  of  the  original  set- 
tlers and  considered  the  founder.  The  town  received  its  name 
May  18,  1633,  the  name  it  is  said  being  given  in  honor  of  Mr. 
Prescott,  it  being  the  name  of  his  native  county  in  England. 
Mary,  wife  of  John  Prescott,  appears  to  have  been  the  dau.  of 
James  and  Martha  (Ainsworth)  Gawkroger,  m.  Sept.  5,  1601,  his 
will  written  1625,  a  clothier  of  Sowerby,  she  was  bapt.  Mar.  15, 
1606-7,  and  granddaughter  of  James  and  Jenet  (Fairbank)  Gawk- 
roger or  Platts,  m.  Dec.  2,  1571.  The  children  of  John  and  Mary 
bear  the  names  of  the  children  found  in  James  Gawkroger  Jr.'s 
will  in  many  instances,  as  Martha,  Sarah,  Anne  or  Hannah  and 
Lydia,  the  children,  grand  and  great  grandchildren  of  John  Pres- 
cott will  be  given  in  the  October  Quarterly  as  far  as  the  records 
can  be  obtained,  with  full  dates.

1846,  Ebenezer  Foster,  son  of  Ebenezer  and  Lucy  (Goldsmith) 
Bailey,  born  in  Westmoreland,  N.  H.,  Feb.  19,  1820.  Mrs. 
Bailey  was  from  early  life  a  devoted  Christian,  a  very  efficient 
worker  in  the  church  and  Sunday  school,  and  for  many  years  as- 
sisted in  the  service  of  song,  she  was  active  in  the  Woman's 
Christian  Temperance  Union  and  ready  for  every  good  word  and 
work.  Although  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bailey  were  married  nearly  59 
years,  death  had  never  before  broken  the  family  circle,  she  is 
survived  by  her  husband,  and  by  four  children,  Ebenezer,  Harri- 
son, William  Kimball  Bailey  and  Miss  Anna  M.  Bailey  and  a 
large  circle  of  friends. 


Mrs.  OLIVE  Elizabeth  (Childs^)  Edwards  (29)  p.  55,  Vol.  I, 
No.  2,  "  White  Family  Quarterly,"  died  at  her  home  in  Holyoke, 
Mass.,  Feb.  27,  1905.  Mrs.  Edwards  was  born  in  New  l^rain- 
tree,  Mass.,  Dec.  1,  1872;  daughter  of  Henry  Hinckley  and 
Martha  A.  (Howe^)  Childs,  being  the  third  in  their  family  of 
eleven  children  and  the  first  death  in  their  family.  She  was  mar- 
ried in  Holyoke,  June  13,  1895,  to  Charles  Samuel,  son  of 
Samuel  Finley  and  Adeline  Fidelia  (Gridley)  Edwards,  born  in 
Southampton,  Mass.,  Oct.  22,  1872.  For  a  few  years  after  their 
marriage  they  lived  in  Springfield,  Mass.,  where  they  united  with 
Christ  Church  and  have  since  retained  their  membership,  Mrs. 
Edwards  was  an  active  member  and  a  former  officer  of  the  Rath- 
bone  Sisters.  She  was  a  devoted  wife  and  mother,  a  sweet 
Christian  woman  in  every  way,  always  of  a  sunny  temperament, 
even  after  she  had  become  a  great  sufferer.  She  is  survived  by 
her  husband  and  three  little  children,  Elizabeth  Adeline,  Roger 
Gerhart  and  Kingsley  Edwards,  also  her  father  and  mother, 
brothers  and  sisters,  Mrs.  B.  V.  Brooks  of  Greenwich  Village, 
George  E.  of  Wilbraham,  Charles  H.  of  New  Haven,  (Conn.), 
Willard  T.  of  Petersham,  Mrs.  Harry  Brainard  of  South  Hadley 
Falls,  and  Robert,  Fred,  Arthur,  Esther  and  Herman  Childs  with 
their  mother  in  Holyoke,  her  father,  who  for  a  number  of  years 
conducted  a  successful  business  college  in  Holyoke  is  now  in  the 
West.  Though  we  sympathize  with  all  her  friends  in  their  be- 
reavement, yet  our  heart  goes  out  to  little  Kingsley,  who  will 
never  have  even  a  memory  of  his  loving  mother  to  cherish,  only 
as  he  receives  it  from  the  words  of  others.
