ADAM. ADAM. — The surname of Adam is of great anti- quity in Scotland, as proved by many documents in the public records. Duncan Adam, son of Alexander Adam, lived in the reign of King Robert Bruce, and had four sons, Robert, John, Reginald, and Duncan, from whom all the Adams, Adamsons, and Adies, in Scotland are descended. For the American ancestor see Adam Genealogy, 1848, by William Adam. ADAMS. — This family is very numerous both in England and America, and owing to the similarity and repetition of Christian names it is almost impossible to locate all the original settlers. By far the largest number are descendants of Henry Adams of Braintree. This family claims descent in a direct line from Ap. Adam who came out of the " Marches of Wales."* The earliest record of the English branch of the Adam's family is that of John Ap Adam, of Charlton. Adam in Somersetshire, who married Elizabeth, daughter of and heiress to John Lord Gourmy, of Beviston and Tidenhaur, County of Gloucester, who was summoned to #t>ams. *Lords of the Marches were noblemen, who in the early ages inhabited and secured the Marches of Wales and Scotland, ruling as if they were petty kings, with their private laws, these were subsequently abolished. Parliament as Baron of the Realm, 1296 to 1307. In the upper part of a Gothic window on the southeast side of Sidenham church, near Chopston, the name of Jones Ab Adam, 1310; and " Arms, argent on a cross gules five mullets or," of Lord Ap Adam, are still to be found beautifully excented in stained glass of great thickness and in perfect preservation. This is probably one of the oldest church edifies in England. It originally stood within -the boundary of Wales, but at a later period, the boundary line was changed, and it now stands on England soil. HENRY ADAMS, of Braintree, (now Quincy), Mass., was the progenitor of the largest branch of the Adams family in this country. He is said to have emigrated to New England about 1634, and on Feb. 1641, was granted forty acres of land by the town of Boston, of which Braintree was then a part. He brought with him eight sons, and was the great-great-grand- father of John Adams, second President of the United States, who erected a granite column to his memory in the churchyard at Braintree, on which was inscribed the following : In memory of Henry Adams, who took his flight from the Dragon of persecution in Devonshire, England, and alighted with eight sons near Mount Walloston. One of the sons returned to England, and after taking some time to explore the country, four removed to Med- field and the neighboring towns; two to Chelmsford. One only, Joseph, who lies here at his left hand, re- mained here, who was an original proprietor in the township of Braintree, 1639. This stone and several others have been placed in this yard by a great-grandson from a veneration of the piety, humility, sympathy, prudence, patience, temper- ance, frugality, industry, and perseverance of his ances- tors, in hope of recommending an emulation of their virtues to their posterity. The children oi Henry Adams of Braintree. were: HENRY (2), born 1604; settled at Medfield, Mass. THOMAS, born in England, 1612; settled at Chelmsford, Mass. SAMUEL, born 1617, settled at Chelmsford, died 1666. JONATHAN, born 1619, settled at Medfield. PETER, born 1622, settled at Medfield. JOHN, born 1624, settled in Concord; afterward West Cambridge. JOSEPH, of Braintree, now Quincy, Mass., who died and was buried there. EDWARD, born 1620, settled at Medfield; died 1716. Ursula, named in her father's will. Among the other branches of the Adams family of which there does not appear to be any direct connection are: JOHN, who came to Plymouth in the ship "For- tune," November 11, 1621. WILLIAM, of Cambridge, 1635; removed to Ips- wich, Mass., before 1642. ROBERT, of Ipswich, 1635; Salem, 1638; Newbury, 1640. RICHARD, of Weymouth, 1635.

Tradition states that the original surname of this family was Fairbairn, and that it was changed to Arm- strong on the following occasion: An ancient King of Scotland having his horse killed under him in battle, was immediately remounted by Fairbairn (a man of powerful physique,) on his horse. For his timely as- sistance the king amply rewarded him with lands on the Borders, and to perpetuate the memory of so important a service, as well as the manner in which it was performed (for Fairbairn took the king by the thigh and set him on the saddle,) his royal master gave him the appellation of Armstrong — strong-of-arm — and assigned him for a crest " an armed hand and arm, in the hand a leg and foot in armour, cbuped at the thigh — all ppr." The most complete coat armour of the family of the present time is Arms — Sable three dexter arms conjoined at the shoulders and flexed in triangle or, turned up (or cuffed) argent, the hands clenched ppr. Crest — A dexter arm vambraced in armour, argent the hand ppr. Motto — Vi et armis. JONATHAN ARMSTRONG, of Westerly or Pawcatuck, R.

Of this family Burke says: " Various conjectures have been hazarded as to the origin of Bacon, but to little purpose. But it matters not, the antiquity of the family is beyond dispute; and there are few houses in the kingdom more distinguished by the production of great and eminent men. Besides Friar Bacon, the marvel of his day, Sir Nicholas Bacon, and the great Lord Bacon, there were five other extraordinary personages of the same family." This family bore Arms — Gules on a chief argent two mullets, pierced, sable. Crest — A boar, passant, ermine. Afotfo— Mediocria firma.

I 229 BRADFORD :— Governor William Bradford, of ' the . Mayflower, was the progenitor of nearly, if not quite, all? 54 GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. the Bradfords of New England. No connection direct has been traced between him and William Bradiord, the Quak- er printer of Philadelphia and New York. The name of Bradford is derived from the Saxon Brad- enford, or Broadenford, and is doubtless very ancient. Two towns of considerable size in England are known by this name — one in Wiltshire near Bath ; the other in York- ham near Leeds. The latter is supposed to have been the locality from whence originated the great founder of the name in the United States. The family was doubtless one of considerable antiquity. With the exception of three or four generations previous to that of Gov. Bradford, little is known of the early his- tory of the family. The fact that Burke gives twelve dif- ferent coats of arms .belonging to the Bradfords is an evi- dence that they were a family of some distinction. The Yorkshire and Wiltshire branches of the family have the arms as those described as belonging to the Governor William Bradford line, viz : Arms — Argent on a fesse sable three stags' heads erased. Crest — A stag's head erased or. Governor William Bradford,' son of William and Alice (Hanson) Bradford, was born in the village of Aus- terfield, Yorkshire, England, March 29, 1590. His father died the following year, and he was then adopted into the family of his grandfather, William, and after the latter's death in 1596, he was placed in the family of his uncle, Robert. He early became associated with Elder William Brewster and other non-conformists, and when but eigh- teen years of age he suffered imprisonment in Boston, Lincolnshire, for his religious belief. He finally escaped and reached Holland, where he apprenticed himself to a Frenchman, who taught him the art of silk weaving, and soon after reaching his majority he started in business for himself. His first marriage to Do'rothy May, of Witez- buts, England, took place Nov. 13, 1613. The "bans" were published in Leyden, announcing the coming mar- riage as follows: November 15, 1613, William Bradford fustian maker, young man from Osterfeldt in England, affianced to Dorothy May frorn W et ezbuts, England, There was a sad ending to this his' first love, for soon after the arrival of the Mayflower, and while her husband was absent on an expedition around Cape Cod Harbor. Dorothy fell overboard and was drowned. From this. time forward William Bradford's part in the fortunes of the community were important and powerful. After the first Governor, William Carver, died, Bradford was elected to that office, which he held by annual election until his death, excepting the years 1633, '34, '36, '38 and '44. He took a prominent part in all the councils which were held at his house, and in all the affairs, civic, political and military. From his house at the foot of Burial Hill, each Sabbath morning the little company of worshipers, who all assembled there, marched in procession up the steep ascent to its top, where the religious services were held. One of Gov. Bradford's first acts on assuming the ex- ecutive was to send an embassy, July, 1621, to confirm the league entered into with the Indian Sachem Massasoit, the most influential and powerful of the native chiefs. His friendly relations with the Indians, who had known the English only as kidnappers, were essential to the continued existence of the colony and its future prosperity. When a famine threatened the colonists two years later, he ob- tained assistance from the Indians. In 1624 the Governor and his assistants were consti- tuted a judicial court; and afterwards the supreme trib- unal of the colony; in 1629 legislation, in which up to that date all the freemen took part, was vested in the General Court, to which all of the towns sent representatives. In 1629 a patent was obtained from the New England Council — a band of noblemen who in 1620 received from King James absolute property in the country lying be- tween 40 and 48 degrees of north latitude — conferring upon William Bradford, his .heirs, associates and assigns the title to the land on which Plymouth plantation was situated. In 1640, at the request of the General Court, Governor Bradford conveyed to it the title of the colony, reserving to himself his proportion as a proprietor. By his wife, Dorothy May, the Pilgrim Gov. Bradford had only one child! John Bradford born before the inauguration. He was of Duxbury 1645, an d in 1652 he was a deputy to the Gen- eral Court and a Lieutenant. He removed to Marshfield and represented that town at the General Court in 1653. He married Martha, daughter of Thomas and Martha Bourne, and in 1653 removed to Norwich, Conn. Gov. Bradford married 2d, Aug. 14, 1623, Alice, daugh- ter of Alexander Carpenter of Wrentham, England, the widow of Edward Southworth. By this marriage he had William, Mercy and Joseph, , Major William Bradford, the oldest child of Governor William and Alice (Southworth nee Carpenter) Bradford, was born June 17, 1684. He was next to Miles Standish the chief military man in the colony, and in the Indian wars, in which he took a prominent part he held the rank of Major. He was Assistant Treasurer and Deputy Gov- ernor of Plymouth Colony from 1682 to 1686 and from 1689 to 1691, and the latter year was one of the Council of Massachusetts.

William Bradford, the printer, son of William and Annie Bradford, was born in Leicestershire, Eng., May 23, 1663; died in 1752. There'is no evidence that he was immediately related to the Pilgrim, but both, no doubt, had a common origin. He served an apprenticeship with Andrew Sorole, printer and publisher of Quaker books in Grace Church street, London. It is believed that he came over with William Penn and his company in the ship ''Welcome." He was recommended as "a sober young man who comes to Pennsylvania to set up the trade of printing Friends' books," etc. In 1686 he published Bur- nyeat's Epistle, with the imprint "Printed and sold by William Bradford, near Philadelphia." He removed to New York in 1693 and was appointed Royal Printer in Oct., 1725. He established the New York Gazette, which was the first newspaper printed in the colony. He was buried by the side of his wife in Trinity church-yard, New York city, where a simple slab marks his resting place. His son Andrew, who learned the trade of his father and became a partner, removed in 1712 to Philadelphia. On Dec. 19, 1719, he published the first number of the American Weekly Mercury — the first newspaper founded in the Middle States, which he continued until his death. William Bradford, Jr., brother of Andrew, born 1688, was a printer and seaman. He served an apprenticeship with his father, but, owing to failing health, adopted a seafaring life. He had a son William. William Bradford (3), son of William, Jr., was born in New York City, 1719. He learned the art of printing with his uncle Andrew and became his partner in 1739. In 1742 he started the Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser. He earnestly espoused the cause of American Independence and his paper bore as a heading from July, ' 1774, to Oct., 1775. a peculiar device . He served as Major in a Philadelphia regiment of mil- itia at the battle of Trenton, was wounded at Princeton, and returned home as colonelof his regiment. He died in Philadelphia, Sept. 25, 1791, and was buried in the Sec- ond Presbyterian churchyard on Arch street.

He is supposed to have been the father of Nathaniel, who graduated in the first class at Harvard 1642, and of Joseph. His widow married Thomas Pell. Nathaniel Brewster, son of Francis, of New Ha- ven, went to England, where he was settled as a minister at Abby, in County Norfolk. He returned and was set- tled at Brookhaven in 1665. He married Sarah, daugh- ter of Roger Ludlow ,and had John, Timothy, Daniel. Elder William Brewster, of the "Mayflower," one of the earliest of the distinguished Puritan laymen in England, was probably born in 1563, at Scrooby, in Not- tinghamshire, at the manor hall of which village belonged to the archbishop of York. He afterwards long resided at the same house at which Cardinal Woolsey had made his last stop before reaching home in his final journey on compulsory retirement from court, after banishment by King Henry VIII. Elder Brewster was of good family, his coat of arms being identical with that of the ancient Suffolk branch. He entered Cambridge University and remained there for a short time, and about 1584 entered the service of William Davison, Ambassador, and after- wards Secretary of State to Queen Elizabeth, and with him visited the Netherlands, remaining in his service two years. He then abandoned politics, devoted himself earn- estly to the cause of religion and was the first prominent layman who rejected conformity to the ceremonies of the Church of England- He filled for a time the position of postmaster at Scrooby, and continued until his associate separatists had become obnoxious to the ecclesiastical authorities, and in 1607 he embarked with them and his young friend Bradford in a sloop at Boston, bound for Holland, intending to flee the country. But the captain of the vessel betrayed them and Brewster with others was arrested, imprisoned and bound over for trial. In the summer of 1608 he sailed from Hull and reached Am- sterdam in safety. Having spent most of his substance in effecting his own escape and aiding his poorer associ- ates , he was obliged to resort to teaching for a living. With the aid of friends he set up a printing press and printed a series of religious books that were contraband in England. He was ruling elder of the church at Leyden. Through the assistance of his friend, Sir Edwin Sandys, treasurer of the Virginia company, he obtained a grant of land in North America, and in September, 1620, he set sail in the "Mayflower" with the first company of Pilgrims, landing at Plymouth Dec. 21, 1620. Brewster was Ruling Elder of the church, and until 1629 acted as teacher and minister, enduring the hard- ships of the memorable first winter with wonderful cour- age and cheerfulness. His family which came on the "Mayflower" consisted of his wife: Lucretia, wife of Jon- athan, a son who came out in the "Fortune" in 1621, and two sons, Wrestling and Love. His daughters Patience and Fear came in the "Ann," 1623, and on Aug. 6 of the following year Patience mar- ried Thomas Prince, afterwards Governor. Fear married in 1626 Isaac Allerton, the first Associate of Governor William Bradford. His other children were Jonathan and Wrestling. Love Brewster married, March 15, 1634, Sarah, daughter of William Collier. He moved to Duxbury, Mass., and had issue, three sons and one daughter- Jonathan Brewster, the eldest son of Elder Will- iam Brewster, was born at Scrooby, in County Notting- ham. He went with his father to Holland, where he was left to the care of two sisters, with his own family. He came in the "Fortune" in 1621. He was Associate Judge, and established by appointment a trading post on the lands GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. 59 purchased of Uncas,' chief of the Mohigans, and after- wards called Brewster's Neck. He gave notice to John Winthrop, governor of the fort at Saybrook, of the evil designs of die Piquots. He settled subsequently in Duxbury, Mass., where he was was a representative of the first General Court in 1639; removing thence to New London, Conn., before 1640. By wife Lucretia he had William and Mary, born in Holland; Jonathan, Benjamin, Grac>, R.iih, Hannah, Elizabeth. REFERENCES. Connecticut. — Caulkin's Hist, of NV.-.

In his second edition 672-8, Hinman gives many names of descendants yet with no precision of line. But the original is quite mythical. The settler was born in Colchester, Co. Essex, about 50 minutes from London, came to Dorchester, when about 11 years old, removed to Hartford about 1638, as says the book, with no inher- ent probability, .but it is sure to encourage distrust of such tale, that he is made great-great-great-grandson of a peer of England, who was dispossessed of his estate, etc. Such examples may, I hope, be shunned and not imitated. Mr. Hinman had too respectable a name to encourage the relations of such old wives' inventions.. References: — Wadsworth Hyde Gen., 101; Loomis' Gen.

CON ANT:— Christopher, of Plymouth, 1623, came in the Ann, had share in division of land next year but was gone in 1627, perhaps to Cape Ann, for he had not shared in the division of cattle ithat year. But if he had gone home, he must have come back to our country, for he was on the first jury for criminal trial here, impanneled for the case of Walter Palmer, for manslaughter, Nov. 1630, having been in 1623, at Plymouth, next at Nan- tasket, thence removed to Cape Ann, there resided be- tween one and two years and removed to Naumkeag, about 1627. He was son of Richard and Agnes, brother it is said of Dr. John of the great Assembly of Divines at Westminster, born in the hundred of E. Budleigh, bap- tized at the parish church of the same, in Devonshire, April 9, 1593; appointed 1625, governor, agent, or super- intendent for the Dorchester projector of the plantation as Endicott, who superseded him, was, 1629, for the Governor and Comptroller of Mass. before the coming of Winthrop, the first Charter Governor in the country. (Felt. I, 106; Hubbard, 109, 10.) Gibbs says his grand- father John, was of French, i. e. Norman, extraction, his ancestors for many generations having been at Gittis- ham, between Honiton and Ottery St. Mary's. He requested to be freeman Oct. 19, 1630, was admitted May 18 following, was representative at the first general Court of Mass., 1634, died Nov. 19, 1679, in 87th year at Beverly (which he earnestly desired to be named Budleigh). Young, Chronicle 24, gives him four sons, I think, he had five; but even the assiduous fondness of Felt, in a Memorandum of great diligence filling fourteen pages of Geneal.

Of Exercise; perhaps the third son, born at Cape Ann, about 1636, baptized Dec. 24, 1637; Joshua; and Lot, above, is all that is known to me; John was of Beverly church, 1671, probably died before his father; Roger, the first born child at Salem, is spoken next.

Edward Convers, of Charlestown, came in the fleet with Winthrop, 1630, with wife Sarah, and children; requested Oct. 19, to be, and, May 18, following was admitted freeman. They were dismissed from our church to be among the first of that in Charlestown, where he was selectman 1634-40, had grant of first ferry to Boston in 1631, removed 1643 to Woburn, was representative 1660, and deacon. His wife Sarah, died Jan. 14, 1662. He may have been father of all in this region, except Allen, and perhaps, was his brother; died Aug. 10, 1663. His daughter Mary, married Dec. 19, 1643, Simon Thompson, who died 1658; she married a Sheldon next year.

He had graduated at Mussaco, now Simsbury, but was discouraged probably by a controversy and removed to Northampton 1661, was a proprietor 1667, at Westfield, representative 1668; by a third wife Elizabeth, married Dec. 2, 1676, daughter of John Nash, of New Haven, had no children; married fourth wife 1688, Rebecca, widow of Philip Smith, daugh- ter of Nathaniel Foote ; was captain and Mayor ; and died Sept. 5, 1690, aged 80.

He was called by Bradford, "a very old man," in 1650, who saw his "children's child- ren having children," and had married in Holland, a native of the Netherlands, of the Walloon Church, was one of the first purchasers of Dartmouth, 1652, and of Middleborough, 1662; died April 7, 1663. His will, of Dec. 7, 1659, made wife Esther and son John executors. Jane married about 1628, Experience Mitchell; Esther married Nov., 1644, Richard Wright; and Mary married Dec. 26, 1645, John Thomson, who died June 16, 1696, aged 80, and she died March 21, 1715. 104 GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. George Cook, of Cambridge, came in the "Defence," 1635, aged 25, with elder brother Joseph, in Harlaken- den's company, in the ship's clearance at the London custom house called with others, servants of Harlaken- den for description of the government, no doubt, for in the year following our record gives both the prefix of respectable; freeman March 3, 1636; representative 1636- 42-5, and speaker 1645, artillery company 1643, captain, by wife Alice, had Elizabeth, born March 27, 1640, who died August following; Thomas, born June 19, 1642, died at 2 months; Joseph Dec. 27, 1643; Elizabeth again, August 21, 1644; and Mary August 15, 1646. He went home, and was a colonel on service in Ireland, there died or was killed 1652. His daughter Mary, married, it is said, Samuel Annesley, Esq., of Westminster, called "her mother's younger brother," with whom she was living 1691; and Elizabeth married Rev. John Quick of St. Giles, Cripplegate, London. Administration on his estate here was granted 1653, to President Dunster and Joseph Cooke. Gregory Cook, of Cambridge, shoemaker, by wife Mary, who died August 17, 1681, had Stephen, born about 1647; and Susanna, who died Nov. 13, 1674; lived in that part now Newton, in 1672; next year was of Watertown, yet had some years been at Mendon, was there selectman 1669; of Watertown again, 1684, and at Cambridge was selectman 1678, and after; married Nov. 1, 1681, widow Susanna Goodwin, and died Jan. 1, 1691, and his widow married Sept. 15, following Henry Spring. Henry Cook, of Salem, 1638, married June, 1639, Judith Burdsall, died Dec. 25, 1661, when his inventory is produced and his children named with their ages, Isaac, 22; Samuel 20; John, 14; Judith, 18; Rachel, 16; Mary and Martha, 12; Henry 8; and Hannah 4. Isaac Cook, of Salem, married May 3, 1664, Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Buxton, had Elizabeth, born Sept. 23, 1665; Isaac, Jan. 9, 1667, and Mary Nov. 12, 1668. James Cook, of Boston, died Dec. 15, 1690. John Cook, of Plymouth, 1633, called senior, prob- ably removed 1643, to Rehoboth, is not known to have been relative of the succeeding. Perhaps he removed to Warwick, was town-sergeant 1651, freeman there 1655, and probably died that year, for his widow Mary married 1656, Thomas Relph. He left son John, and daughter Elizabeth, who married Dec. 24, 1666, John Harrod. John Cook, of Salem, 1637, came, perhaps, in thte Abigail, 1635, aged 27, freeman May 18, 1642, had Sarah, baptized Sept. 19, 1640; Elizabeth May 16, 1641; and Mary, Oct. 22, 1643. He died, I suppose, in 1650, when his inventory was brought in. John Cook, of Ipswich, 1664. John Cook, of Portsmouth, R. I., 1655, of whom I learn no more, unless that he has wife Ruth in 1682, then was 51 years old, and John Jr., probably his son, was 26, and other sons Joseph and Thomas, beside several daughters, and his will was recorded 1691. As early as 1647, he was made one of two "water bailies" of the Colony, if there be no mistake. One John, a young man, Winth. II, 97, says, was killed by accident at Boston, June 23, 1643; and a John was at Windsor, 1644. John Cook, of Boston, was of the vestry of King's Chapel, 1689; and a John, a soldier in the company of Moseley, Dec, 1675, and again in Philip's war, 1676, at Hadley; may have been of Gloucester, married Feb. 2, 1680, and Mary Elwell, had John, born Nov. 20, 1680. John Cook, of Middletown, at his death Jan. 16, 1705, left children John and Mary, of full age ; Daniel 14 years ; Sarah, 12; Ebenezer, 7. His wife Hannah, daughter of Capt. Daniel Harris, could not have been the first. His will was made Aug. 15, 1698. John Cook, of Hampton, married Nov. 26, 1686, Mary Downs. Joseph Cook, of Cambridge, elder. brother of George, came in the Defence, 1635, aged 27. They were of Earl's Colne in Essex, and there had enjoyed the spirit- ual guidance of Shepard, who came in the same ship "Freeman," March 3, 1636; representative 1636-40, artillery company 1640; had wife Elizabeth and children Elizabeth, March 16, or August, 1645; Mary Jan. 30, 1647; Grace Dec. 9, 1648, died soon; Grace, again May 1, 1650; and Ruth; all baptized at Cambridge. I think it not unlikely, that after administration on his brother's estate he went home. Joseph Cook, of Wells, swore allegiance, 1680. Josiah Cook, of Plymouth, married Sept. 16, 1635, Elizabeth, widow of Stephen Deane, daughter of widow Mary King, freeman 1637, removed with Gov. Prence to Eastham, had Josiah and Ann, who married Jan. 18, 1655, Mark Snow, and died July 7, 1656; Bethia, who married April 4, 1660, Joseph Harding; and died Oct. 17, 1673; and his widow died about 1687. Nathaniel Cook, of Windsor, married June 29, 1649, Lydia, daughter of Richard Vore, had Sarah, born June 28, 1650; Lydia, Jan. 9, 1653; Hannah, Sept. 21, 1655; Nathaniel, May 13, 1658; Abigail, March 1, 1680; John, August 3, 1662; and Josiah, Dec. 22, 1664. He was admitted freeman of Conn., 16Z0, and died May 19, 1688. The widow died June 14, 1698. Sarah married June 30, 1670, Samuel Baker; Lydia died unmarried before 24 years; Hannah married Thomas Buckland the younger, who died May 28, 1676; and she next married Joseph Baker, who died Dec. 11, 1691; and she married third husband John Loomis; and Abigail married Joshua Pomeroy, and next, David Hoyt, and next, Nathaniel Royce. Peyton Cook, of Saco, 1635, called, gentleman, was clerk of the assembly of Lygonia 1648. Folsom, 32. Philip Cook, of Cambridge, freeman 1647, died Feb. 10, 1667, by wife Mary, daughter of Barnabas Lamson, had Mary, born July 26, 1652; Philip, Aug. 19, 1654; Samuel; Hannah, July 4, 1657; and Sarah; all except Philip, who probably died young, baptized at Cambridge; also Philip again, baptized May 5, 1661 ; John, Aug. 30, 1603; and Barnabas, June 4, 1665; as in matchless Mitchell's register appears, but it must be, that he had two daughters named Hannah, for town record shows daughter of Hannah, July 13, 1654, and brother of Sam- uel, 1655. Sarah died May 12, 1661. His will of July 18, before his death disposes of children John, 3 years old; Philip, 5; and Hannah, 9; leaving widow Mary, to bring up others to trades. A discrepance between Mit- chell and the inscription on gravestone of second Philip may be observed if Harris, 57, has correctly given it, that he died March 25, 1718, aged 55 years, 10 months, 25 days, so that by such computation he was born April 30, 1662. Probably the gravestone is false, Mitchell may be following and we may suppose he was baptized at 5 days old. Ralph Cook, of Charlestown, 1640, may have had wife Sarah, admission of the church Nov. 30, 1643. GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. 105 Richard Cook, of Charlestown, came in the Jonathan, 1639, aged 31, joined with the children May 30, 1641, lived on Maiden side, had wife Frances, and daughter Mary, born May, 1649; was of friends of Marmaduke Matthew's preaching, and died Oct. 14, 1658. His will names children of his wife by former husband Isaac, Thomas, Elizabeth and Sarah, Wheeler; but, I think, the sons were born in England. Elizabeth married Sept. 12, 1659, William Greene; and Sarah married Dec. 18, 1660, John Greene. His widow married Sept. 5, 1659, Thomas Green; and his only daughter Mary, married 1666, Samuel Green. Richard Cook, of Boston, tailor, came, it is said, from Gloucestershire, freeman March 4, 1635, artillery com- pany 1643, lieutenant, 1656, representative for Dover, 1670; by wife Elizabeth, had Elhanan, born June 30, baptized July 17, 1636, died Nov. following; Elisha, before mentioned Sept. 16, baptized Nov. 5, 1637, Har- vard College 1657; Elkanah, baptized Sept. 12, 1640, but the town record gives a false date of birth; Joseph, born 2d, baptized May 8, 1642, who may have been Harvard College 1660, or 61; and Benjamin, baptized August 4, 1644, about 5 days old, died May following. His will, made Dec. 18, 1671, probate Dec. 25, 1673, names wife Elizabeth and only (child Elisjha, beside brothers William and Walter, in England. His widow died Oct. 7, 1690, in 75th year. Richard Cook, of Norwich, had grant of lot 1680, in the part now Preston, and son Obed, born Feb. 1, 1681. Robert Cook, of Charlestown, freeman June 2, 1641, by wife Sarah, had Samuel, born Aug. 10, 1644. I feel some hesitation in this case, whether he and Richard were not one, for Richard is not in the Colonial record as freeman, which would not, however, be very surprising though rather observing; but how Robert, whose name is not found in the church, was admitted freeman is strange. Robert Cook, of Portsmouth, R. I., married Dec. 5, 1678, Tamar, daughter of John Tyler of Bristol, had Mary, born June 27, 1682; Miriam, Dec. 9, 1689; and Samuel, Dec. 19, 1695. Roger Cook, of Marshfield, 1643. Samson Cook, of Gloucester, died Jan. 26, 1674. Samuel Cook, of Dedham, 1640, called gentleman late of Dublin, in Ireland, when his executors conveyed his estate, 1652. Samuel Cook, of New Haven, m. Hope, May 2, 1667, daughter of Edward Parker, had Samuel, born March 3, 1668; John, Dec. 3, 1669; and a daughter without name; removed to Wallingford, 1673, where the residue of his children named in his will, twelve in all, were born : Mary Ives, Judith, Isaac, Joseph, Hope, Israel, Mabel, Benja- min, Ephraim and Elizabeth. A second wife Mary, he had, but we know not, which of these children, if any, were hers. He made his will March, 1703, and soon died. Stephen Cook, of Mendon, freeman 1673, perhaps brother of Gregory, removed to Watertown, was one of founders of the second church, a deacon, and died April 24, 1714. Thomas Cook, of Salem, was dead Sept. 1650, when inventory of 40 pound sterling was returned. Perhaps he was unmarried. Thomas Cook, of Taunton 1639, proprietor with Thomas jr. in 1643, probably both removed to Ports- mouth, R. I., early, was called captain and in 1659 honored with commission to run the West line of the Colony. Thomas Cook, of Watertown, had daughter before 1647, and may be that mariner who died at Boston, Feb. 1646. Thomas Cook, of Guilford, of whose early years I know not the residence, brought two children Thomas jr. and Sarah, who married Thomas Hall. There he married Mar. 30, 1668, second wife Hannah Lindon, who died July 7, 1676, and he died Dec. 1, 1692. Thomas Cook, of Windsor, of whom no connection with any other of the name is known, had wife and daughter Martha, who died Nov. 8, 1683 ; and Mary, an- other daughter died Mar. 10, 1689; and he died Nov. 18, 1697. He had good estate and probably left child- ren to enjoy it. Thomas Cook, of Braintree, one of a military watch 1689. Walter Cook, Weymouth 1643, freeman 1653, had Ebenezer, born May 30, 1656; Walter, Sept. 10, 1657; and Nicholas, the last born Feb. 9, 1660. William Cook, ofMaine 1665. Eleven of this name William Cook, of Maine 1665. Eleven of this name, a few included without final "e", had been graduates at Harvard, nineteen at Yale, and twenty-two at other New England colleges among whom were twelve clergymen. references.

COOPER: — Anthony, of Hingham, 1635, came with wife, four sons, four daughters and four servants (any one of whose names I would gladly learn) from old Hingham, died very early, for his inventory was taken February 26, 1636. Benjamin Cooper, of Salem, was of Brampton, in the east part of Suffolk, came from Yarmouth, in the "Mary Ann," 1637, aged 50, with wife Elizabeth 48, and five children, Lawrence, Mercy, Rebecca, Benjamin and Francis Fillingham, his son-in-law, aged 32, his sister aged 48, and two- servants, John Filin and Philemon Dickerson. Of the father or children we know no more, but the son-in-law, and Dickerson are mentioned shortly after at Salem; he died soon, and his inventory taken Sept. 27, of that year shows good estate. John Cooper, of Watertown, died 1637, in his 80th year it is said, but this may be traditional error for Thomas, GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. 107 John Cooper, of Lynn, came, 1635, in the "Hope- well," captain Bundock, aged 41, with wife and children Mary, 13; John, 10; Thomas, 7; and Martha, 5.

John Cooper, of Cambridge, came with sister Lydia, after their father's death in company of Gregory Stone, whomarriedtbeirmother Lydia. His sister married David Fiske. He was freeman May 18, 1642, constable, select- man, very many years deacon, town clerk from 1669 to his death Aug. 22, 1691; by wife Ann, daughter of Nathaniel Sparhawk, had Ann, born Nov. 16, 1643, who married Edward Pinson; Mary, Sept. 11, 1645; Samuel, Jan. 3, 1654; John, 1656; Nathaniel, baptized May 8, 1659, died Dec. 19, 1661; Lydia, April 13, 1663; and Hannah Dec. 29, 1667. John Cooper, of Scituate, married 1634, Priscilla, widow of William Wright, who was a sister of Gov. Bradford's wife Alice ; removed 1639 to Barnstable, there died without children. His will was made 1676. John Cooper, of New Haven, 1639, was agent for iron works, representative 1664-7, had Mary, born 1631, probably in England, baptized Aug. 15, 1641; Hannah, 1638, who was baptized at same time with Mary, and married 1661, John Potter; and Sarah, baptized Sept. 21, 1645, who married 1662, Samuel Hemenway, and he died Nov. 23, 1689.

Peter Cooper, of Rowley, 1643, came 1635 in the ""Susan and Ellen," aged 28, may have removed to Reho- both, there buried Feb. 28, 1678. Simon Cooper, of Newport, 1663, a physician, mar- ried Jan. 20, 1664, Mary Tucker, called in the Friend's record of Shelter Island, who may have been daughter of that John of Watertown and Hingham, had Robert, born Oct. 10, 1664; Joseph Feb. 4, 1667; Mary, July 20, 1669; and Simon, April 1, 1672. Thomas Cooper, of Watertown, buried June 20, 1637, aged 80, as the record says. Thomas Cooper, of Hingham, came in the "Diligent," 1638, with wife, two children and two servants from Old Hingham, removed perhaps 1643, to Rehoboth, was representative 1652 and '53; married Oct. 17, 1656, for second wife Ann, widow of Zaccheus Bosworth. He was deacon and buried third wife Elizabeth, Feb. 1, 1681. Davis, in Morton's Memorial, 442; Baylies, II, 198.

COPELAND :— John, of Boston, came in July, 1656, in the "Speedwell," aged 28, from London, a Quaker. He was next year banished from Plymouth Colony and whipped in Massachusetts. Lawrence Copeland, of Braintree, married Dec. 12, 1651, Lydia Townsend, sadly perverted to Feb. 16, 1654, in Genealogical Register, XII, 110, had Thomas, born May 10, 1652, (Genealogical Register, XI, 334,) died next month; Thomas again, Aug. 12, 1654, or Feb. 6 or 8, 1655; Richard, July 11, 1672; and Abigail, 1674. This last married Nov. 23, 1715, says Thayer, but the name of her husband is, I think, an impossible one. Ephraim, his son died unmarried of small-pox, on board a ship of his fleet, before the sailing of the disastrous expedition of Sir William Phips, 1690; he died Dec. 30, 1699, born, says the record, "in the reign of our gracious sovereign 108 GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. Queen Elizabeth of blessed memory." Farmer, who was much indebted to Chief Justice Sewall's fondness for instances of unusual longevity, refers to his diary, as saying he was 110. Perhaps this is mistaken. In the diary iof Marshall, called Fairfield's, by Dr. Harris, when he presented it to the Historical Society, I read, under date Jan. 1, 1700, (so that it seems he was wise enough to be half a century ahead of the law in reckoning the beginning of a year), "old Lawrence Copeland buried aged 100 years, who died last Saturday." Marshall was a townsman, and his authority may be sufficient; but the grave-stone also says Dec. 30, 1699, 100 years old. His wife Lydia, died Jan. 8, 1688.

Ill married a Williams.' She made her will April 28, 1658, and died Nov. 28, 1659. He was of artillery company 1639, freeman May 13, 1640, selectman and representa- tive that year and once or twice afterwards, was master of good estate, an enterprising merchant, went on several voyages to distant lands, and was lost on a voyage to Malaga, by shipwreck, December 27, 1645, on the coast of Spain; by wife Martha, daughter of Captain Rains- borough, married doubtless in England, had Thomas, born February 25, 1642, baptized next day; and William, February 6; 1643, died in six days. His inventory shows Feb. 6, 1643, died in six days. His inventory shows 1266 pounds sterling, 9 sh., 7 p. His widow married Dec, 1647, Governor Winthrop, brought him son Joshua, who died within 'two years, and married next, March 10, 1651, John Coggan, bore him Joshua, Caleb, and Sarah; and after his death in 1658, wished to be married again, as related by Rev. John Davenport; and, it is said, poisoned herself for ill-success. The will of his mother aids our research for genealogy. Its date is April 30, 1658, and names the four children of William Tyng, who had mar- ried her eldest daughter Elizabeth; five of Increase Nowell; five of Thomas Graves, who were all the living grandchildren; besides the daughters, Sarah Williams, to whom she gave land at Woburn ; Parnell Nowell ; and Catharine Graves, as also Martha, the widow of Coggan, who had before been widow of her son Thomas, and of Governor Winthrop.

CRABB: — Henry, of Bloston, married January 1, 1658, Hannah, the daughter of Thomas Emmons, had Samuel, named in the will of his grandfather Emmons, January 20, 1661. John CSabb, of Dorchester, 1630, came, I presume, in the "Mary and John," requested October 19th to be made freeman, but probably went home soon, at least never took the oath; though Dr. Harris, who finds him in town records, 1632, says he removed to Connecticut. As this could not be before 1635, it is liable to doubt. Richard Crabb, of Wethersfield, was representative 1639, '40 and '41; sold estate 1643, and removed probably to Stamford, and in 1655, was of Greenwich. See Hin- man, 127; Savage's Gen. Diet., vol.

CRACKBONE: — Gilbert, of Dorchester, freeman, December, 1636, removed soon to Cambridge, had, per- haps, the four, whose death is on record. Mary, May 30, Judith, July 7, both of 1655; Hannah September 24, 1658; and Benjamin, April 27, 1661; yet we know not who was mother of either. But as he married June 17, 1656,, Elizabeth Cooledge, it is clear the first two were by former wife; and of the last named we may doubt for two reasons, that in his register, Matchless says: "his son Benjamin was about five or six years old, when his father joined here," though he leaves it uncertain how old he was when that was written, still we might infer, that he was continued in life. Next, we know that one Benjamin Crackbone was killed by the Indians, Sept. 4, 1675, at Northfield, under Captain Beers, and probably was that man's son. He died January 9, 1672. His will, of December 20, with codicil of January 2, preceding, names son Benjamin and his children Joseph and Sarah. His widow was Elizabeth. Savage's Gen. Diet., vol. I, 468. CRACKSTONE or CRAXTON.

Mungo Craford, of Boston, 1686, a Scotchman, had been some years here apprentice, or a servant of John Smith, the mason, and this year was allowed to be an inhabitant. By wife Mary, he had Elizabeth, born May 19, 1681, whlo died young; was, I believe, among the ad- herents of Andros, imprisoned April, 1689, but did not go home, and is among the taxed 1695; by second wife Susannah, had only child Mary, who married Stephen Paine, and died 1712. The inventory of 109 pounds sterl. 9 sh. 10 p. had drugs and medicines for two-fifths. His widow Susannah made her will August 27, 1713, probated September 15, afterwards making daughter Mary and her husband Stephen executor, giving all to Mary, except 20 pound sterl. to each of the grandchildren. An early settler, Mr. Craford, probably of Watertown, had been drowned. See Winthrop 1, 138, and Lieutenant Feake, and three other gentlemen of that town, by order of October 6, 1684, were to be taken inventory of his estate for the Court.

In an account of town debts Stiles' Ancient Windsor, February, 1660-'61, occurs an item of 4 pounds sterling, 10 shillings, to Mr. Comniish, for schooling. This was probably James Cornish, whom we find mentioned at different times and places along the river as a school- master. He was for some time a resident of Windsor.

Giles Cory, of Salem, 1649, had daughter Deliver- ance, born August 5, 1658, by wife Margaret; and mar- ried second wife April 11, 1664, Mary Britz, who died August 27, 1684, aged 63. He had third wife Martha, who was admitted to the church at the village now Danvers, April 27, 1690, imprisoned in March, 1692, con- victed and hanged for witchcraft on the Thursday follow- ing the suffering of her husband. At the age of almost 77, he was the victim of that execrable fanaticism of 1692. When the preposterous indictment was read, he stood mute, though he had before said he was not guilty ; and was, by force of sentence, under the cruel old com- mon law, pressed to death, Felt says, "On Sept. 19, (other accounts 16th, which must be wrong,) being the only person who ever endured that barbarous process in Massachusetts. On July 25th, he confirmed the will made in prison April 24th, preceding, giving estate to his son-in-law William Cleves, of Beverly, and John Moulton, of Salem. He was a member of the first church by which of course he was excommunicated, Sept. 18, the day before his dreadful fate; and so long did the infernal delusion last, that this sentence was erased by vote only at the end of 20 years though in case of his wife's membership of another church the malignity lasted but eleven years." Felt II, 475-85. Hutch. II, 59. Calef, More Wonders of Invisible World, 217, 18. The late Hon. Daniel P. King, of Danvers, occupied the homestead of poor Cory. In Essex Hist.

Morse thinks him son of Iasac, of Rowley, and that he had served in the war against Philip. Though the two points are not utterly inconsistent I look on their concurrence as improbable. Edmund Cosin, of Boston, lived at Pulling Point, married 1656 or '57, Margaret Bird, servant to John Grover, of Rumney Marsh. Francis Cosin, was of artillery company 1640. George Cosin, whose name is Coussens in the custom house records, came in the "James," from Southampton to Boston, arrived June 3, 1635. Isaac Cosin, of Rowley, about 1650, was from Marl- borough, in Wiltshire, went to New London, where he had a grant of lot, 1651, but did not take it, and went back to Rowley; had wife Ann, in 1658, on the Boston records of marriage (when the date is omitted though we may be sure it was 1657,) called Hunt, formerly wife of John Edwards; but on the same record appears, that by former wife Elizabeth, who died Dec. 14, 1656, he had Sarah, born August 31, preceding.

COTTON: — John, of Boston, the most distinguished divine that came from England in the first age, born at Derby, December 4, 1585, son of Rowland Cotton, Esq., was entered at the University of Cambridge, when 14 years old, bred at Trinity College, where he took his A. M., 160.6, became fellow of Emanuel, after spending, as he says, fourteen years at Cambridge, preached at Boston, Lincolnshire, twenty-one years, from 1612, being by the choice of the corporation made vicar; came with several of his parish in the "Griffin," arrived Sept. 4, 1633, with wife Sarah and their first child named at bap- tism Seaborn, (from the circumstance of his birth,) re- ceived at the church on Sunday following, Sept. 8; on October 10, was ordained teacher of that church, freeman May 4, 1634, died Dec. 23, 1652, yet the old copy of town records of which, I presume, no original has been known for 150 years, 'has it 15. His daughter ensuing on taking cold in crossing the ferry as he went to preach a few days before at Cambridge. His will of Nov. 30, of that year with codicil of Dec. 12, mentioned the four children, Seaborn, John, Elizabeth and Mary, with wife Sarah, and "house and garden in the market-place of Boston, in Lincolnshire," as well as the "small part of my house, which Sir Henry Vane built, whilst he sojourned with me," and at his departure, gave by deed, to son Seaborn; and also mentioned cousin Henry Smith, and cousin John Angier, with his wife and children all living at his house and kinswoman Martha Mellowes, who I judge to be widow of Abraham. But the name of grandchild Betty Day, in the codicil can only be explained by supposing that his wife had by former husband a daughter who had married a Day and had this child. We know she was not grandchild in natural descent. He lived 18 years with wife Elizabeth Hoitirocks, add had no children; by second wife, widow Sarah Story, who outlived him, and married August 26, 1656, Richard Mather, outlined him, and died May 27, 1676, had the son before mentioned born on the ocean, August 12, 1633, baptized 4 days after he reached port; Sarah, born Sept. 12, baptized Sept. 20, 1635, be- thirothed to Jonathan Mitchell, but died of small-pox, Jan. 20, 1650; Elizabeth 9, baptized Dec. 10, 1637; John, March 15, baptized March 22, 1640, Harvard College, 1657; Mary or Maria, February 16, baptized February 20, 1642; and Rowland, about 6 days old, baptized Dec. 24, 1643, died of small-pox, Jan. 29, 1650. Elizabeth mar- ried Oct. 12, 165, Jeremiah Eggington, died Aug. 31, following, having Elizabeth born Aug. 15, who died soon; Maria married M#rch 6 1663, Rev. Increase Mather, and died April 4, 1714. Twenty-one of his descendants in the male line (beside the many thro male or female of the Mather blood, and many grand-daughters and other females,) had been in 1818, graduates at Harvard, of whom two tihirds were clergymen. Thomas Cotton, of Roxbury, had Thomas, born April 21/ 1664, may be he who died at Chelmsford, Sept. 30, 1687.

John, his son may have been of Goncord, 1665, and 1679, perhaps the freeman of 1680, belonged to second church of Boston. Mary, his daugh- ter, married March 7, 1660, John Matson. William Cotton, a witness, Dec. 12, 1653, at Wey- mouth, to will of Joseph Shaw, is not known for anything else. William Cotton, of Portsmouth, 1640, of the Grand Jury, 1669, died about 1677.

CROW: — Christopher Grow, of Windsor, freeman of Connecticut, 1658, married January 15, 1657, Mary, daughter of Benjamin Burr; died 1680, leaving Samuel, Benoni, Thomas ,and four daughters. Hinman, 127 says he died 1681, and gives the ages of the children Samuel, 21 years; Miary, 18; Hannah, 15; Martha, 14; Benoni, 12; Margaret, 11; and Thomas, 5. His widow married Josiah Clark, of Windsor, and Mary, married John Qiark, brother of Josiah. Eli Crow, a soldier from some Eastern part of the Colony, was at Northampton, April, 1676. John Crow, of Charlestown, 1635, whose wife Elishua, came, says Froithingham, 84, in the preceding year, and we see in Budington, she was received in the church, January 4, .of this year; had Moses, baptized June 24, 1637, Who probably idlied young; John, perhaps 1638, in which year he 'removed toi the new plantation of Yar- mouth, in Plymouth Colony, became freeman 1640, rep- resentative 1641-3, and died January, 1673; had, I pre- sume, born at Yarmouth, Samuel and Thomas, perhaps more children. John Crow, of Hartford, an original proprietor, was, perhaps, there in 1637 or '38, married Elizabeth, only child of William Goodwin, the famous ruling Elder, had sons John, Samuel, Daniel and Nathaniel, daughters Esther, who married Giles Hamlin, of Middl'etown ; Sarah, born Mar. 1, 1647; Ann or Hannah, July 13, 1649, who married Thomas Dickinson of Hadley; Mebitable, married Samuel Partridge, of Hadley,; Elizabeth, 1650, married'William Warren, and not, next, Phineas Wilson, as sometimes said ; Mary, married Noah Coleman, of Hadley, and, next, September 16, 1680, Peter Montague; Sarah, married Daniel White, of Hatfield; and Ruth, married William Gayilord, and next, Jcihn Hadlhey, both of Hadley. Here are one son and One daughter more than Porter mentioned, beside that the intermarriages in several cases the daughters are different from his. He tells us, that Warren, the husband of Elizabeth, died 1G89, and she married Phineas Wilson, who died in 1691, and she died 1727. He sided with his father-in-law in the religious controversy, and with him went to< plant Hadley, became freeman of Massachusetts, 1666, but many years afterwards removed back to Hartford, there died January 16, 1686. His son Daniel, died 1693, leaving widow but no children. Thomas Crow, of Yarmouth. His estate is still en- joyed by descendants. See Crowedl. William Crow, of Plymouth, 1643, able to bear arms, married April 1, 1664, Hannah, daughter of first Josiah Winslow, had no children, died January, 1684, aged about 55, says her gnave- in 1641 ; Trine, August 10, 1642; Mary, October 3, 1644, perhaps died soon; and 1 nomas, again, 3, baptized September 7, 1645. The Book of Possessions in early days shows William ben-., and William Jr., in Boston, but who was father of these children is to be determined, I fear, only by conjec- in re i«« ne , waS T a S unsmith > and one was dead November 1U, lb55, when Isaac Collamore gave in the inventory of his estate only seven pounds. His widow Mary, soon married John Cowdall. GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. 137 1656, in the "Speedwell," then 45 years old, and died 1664, leaving good estate. His will of March 26, 1655, made in view of a voyage to Barbadoes, thence to Eng- land, probated July 11, 1664, names wife Joan, children Daniel and Sarah, brother John, of which we know not where he was, sister-in-law Mary Hodges, wife of brother-in-law John Anderson, two nephews or nieces, perhaps not in this country, and children of brother Jeremy Davison, deceased, who was married and lived at Lynn, England, as late as 1652. An Indian sagamore gave him mortge. of Nahant. His inventory in- cluded land in Boston, Charlestown, Pemaquid and about 2100 acres near Windsor, on both sides of the Connecti- cut, was 1869 pounds sterling, 11 shillings, 11 pence. Peter Davis, of Stonington, about 1680 or '90, was perhaps brother of Daniel, or of Thomas, who was in the same quarter at that time. William Davis, of New Haven y 1639, had John, Har- vard College, 1651, the scholar, lost on his voyage to England. He died 1659, leaving widow Martha, who was sister of John Wakeman, and died 1663. His only surviving child Sarah, married William Russell, and to educate his' son Noadiah, the grandmother left sixty pounds. William Davis, of Salem, 1639, had that year grant of land, probably removed to Boston or elsewhere, may be the mariner, who at Boston made his will September 14, 1655, as in Genealogical Register, V, 298, and lb, IX, 141. William Davis, of Boston, apothecary, admitted of the church July 28, 1644, in which year he married Mar- garet, daughter of William Pynchon of Springfield, per- haps a second wife. By her he had seven children, of which Thomas, born September 3, 1645, may have been one; also, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Ephraim, who died Aug. 2, 1652; and William, the last, born June 25, 1653; and his wife died July 3 after. He married next, Huldah, daughter of Rev. Zechariah Syrnraes, had Mary, born December 3, 1656; Rebecca, August 3, 1658; Huldah, December 21, 1659; Ruth, February 12, 1662; John, June 10, 1663; and Deborah, April 13, 1665, died young; by another wife Judith, had Margaret, November 13, 1667; and perhaps Hannah. He had still another wife Sarah, and hope of progeny by her when he made his will, in which all of these children except Deborah, are men- tioned. He was a man of wealth, enterprise and des- cretion, artillery company 1643, freeman 1645, a captain, representative for Springfield, 1652, where probably he lived some few years, also for Haverhill, 1668, was em- ployed as commander of a troop in Ninigret's troubles, joint commissioner in 1653, with Leverett to the Dutch Government at New York, and one of the founders of the third church. His will, made May 17, 1676, pro- bated nine days after, being only two days after his death, gave four hundred pounds to his wife Sarah, and con- tains many particulars. His widow married Captain Edward Palmes, of New London. William Davis, of Roxbury, probably brother of Tobias, freeman 1673, had John, born October 1, 1643; Samuel, February 21, 1645; Joseph, whose date, pre- sumed, is October 12, 1649. His wife Elizabeth died or was buried May 4, 1658; and he married October 21, next Alice Thorp, who had William and Elizabeth, baptized June 14, 1663: but perhaps they were not living when this second wife died 1678, probably soon after birth of Jonathan, February 28, of that year. He had also, Matthew, but I know not the day of his birth, or whether he was not by a third wife made executrix, but not named in the will of December 6, 1683, in which he men- tioned all these children and that Matthew and Jonathan are under age. He died December 9, 1683, aged 66. William Davis, of Boston, by wife Mary, daughter of Nicholas Parker, had Joanna, born August 16, 1655; and I presume, that the same man by wife Susanna, had Joanna, born July 26, 1657, sold his estate in 1658, and went to Barbados. William Davis, of Marblehead, a petitioner 1668, against imposts. William Davis, of Boston, mariner, in his will Oct. 31, 1690, not probated before August 5, 1701, gives estate to wife Mary and children, not named. William Davis, of Haverhill, married December 31, 1700, Mary, daughter of John Kelly, Jr., of Newbury. In many instances, some of the above named are spelled Davies as well as Davis; and the utmost care in arrang- ing relationship between parties with a name so widely diffused will sometimes be at fault. "A courageous soldier," is the designation of a Sergeant Davis in the Pequot war, 1637; but who can individualize him? There came in the "Elizabeth," 1635, from London to Boston, Margaret Davis, aged 32, with her son John, 9; Mary, 4; and Elizabeth, 1; the wife and family of some person who had come a year or two before, and to find the husband and father, may be the happiness of some more skillful enquirer. Twenty of this name had in 1834, been gradu- ated at Harvard, and as many more at the other New England colleges. REFERENCES.

DAVIDSON: — Nicholas Davidson, of Charlestown, 1639, one of the chief men, agent of Gov. Cradock, by wife Joanna Hodges, had Daniel and Sarah, who married March 24, 1665, Joseph Lynde, artillery company 1648, went home 1655, probably on business and came back DAWSON: — Daniel Dawson, of Ipswich, may easily be misprinted for Davison. But Coffin, in Genealogical Register, VI, 250, calls widow, 1693, Margaret. Yet she may have been second wife of Davison. George Dawson, of Boston, 1679, a Quaker, who had been whipped for attending the meeting 1677. Henry Dawson, of Boston, admitted of the church May 16, 1641, freeman June 2 after, a laborer, whose wife was in England. He was in the employment of William Hudson, Jr., who, when he went to serve in the Parliament's cause against the king, left the care of his family two years to this young man in consequence of which he was brought into great peril of his life, as set forth in Winthrop II, 249. Probably he repented soon, for he was in October, 1646, restored to his rank. Henry Dawson, of Boston, a soldier in the company of Capt. William Turner in February, at Medfield, and on Connecticut river, April, 1676, under Capt. Pierce, freeman 1678. Robert Dawson, of New Haven, had John, born 1677, by first wife Sarah, daughter of William Tuttle, as erroneously has been said, and married next Hannah, widow of John Russell, had Thomas, born 1693.

DAY: — Anthony Day, of Gloucester, 1645, had wife Susanna, and seven children, John, born April 28, 1657; Ezekiel, March 12, 1660, died soon; Ezekiel, again, May 19, 1662; Nathaniel, September 9, 1665; Elizabeth, April 2, 1667; Samuel, February 25, 1670; and Joseph, April 4, 1672; and died April 23, 1707, aged 90. His widow died December 10, 1717, aged 93. Isaac Day, of Cambridge, by wife Susanna, had Robert, born October 24, 1686 ; and Susanna, November 28, 1688. Robert died February 4, 1688. He was a London citizen, embroiderer, but when he came, who was his wife when he removed are matters unknown. Probably he left in the summer of 1692. Some two or three Johns can find no proper habita- tion, yet one is seen subscribing to memorial, 1668, at Salem, against imposts. John Day, of Boston, 1677, a merchant, died that year, in his will of September 4, calls himself of Frome Woodlands, near Warminster, in Wiltshire, on the border of Somersetshire, and gives all his property to his brother Robert of that place; and probably had no wife or children. Nathaniel Day, of Ipswich, 1637. Kimball. Ralph DaY, of Dedham, freeman 1645, died October 28, 1677, in his will of September 12 preceding, wife Abigail, who Was daughter of Daniel Pond, and children John, Ralph, Mary, who was wife of John Paine, Abigail, and son-in-law John Ruggles, are named. But his first wife was Susan, daughter of Jonathan Fairbanks, who in 1668 mentioned her four children in his will, and they are found in Dedham church records, to be Fliza- beth, baptized July 3, 1648, taken with the town records that shows Mary, born November 9, 1649; Susan, 1652; and John, April 15, 1654; while the next is found Abi- gail, daughter of Ralph and Abigail, April, 1661. Robert Day, of Cambridge, came in the "Elizabeth," 1634, from Ipswich, aged 30, with wife Mary, 28, free- man May 6, 1635, went to Hartford, perhaps with Hooker, in 1636, or very soon after, had several lots among first proprietors. His first wife died probably before removal, and the mother of his children was Edatha, sister of Deacon Edward Stebbins. She is named in his will, May 20, 1648, which is printed in Trumbull's Colonial Records of Connecticut, I, 487; but though children are provided for, we find not names nor number. They were Thomas, Sarah, who married September, 1658, Nathaniel Gunn, of Hartford, and next November 24, 1664, Samuel Kellogg, of Hatfield, and was killed with her son Joseph, September 19, 1677, by the Indians ; Mary, who married October 28, 1659, Samuel Ely, of Springfield, and next, April 12, 1694, Thomas Stebbins, and next, December 11, 1696, deacon John Coleman, of Hatfield, where she died 1725 ; and John. His widow married John Maynard, of Hartford, who died without children, leaving to the children of Day, "provided they carry themselves well towards" their mother, some decent estate, and next married in 1657 or 8, Elizur Holyoke, of Springfield, who she sur- vived by twelve years, and died October 24, 1688. Of descendants of this Robert in the male line, full account is printed by Rev. George E. Day, of Northampton, GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. 1^ Robert Day, of Ipswich, came in the "Hopewell," Capt. Bundocke, 1635, from London, aged 30, freeman June 2, 1641, was living in 1681. Perhaps Sarah, who married at Ipswich, June 17, 1674, David Fiske was his daughter Hannah, who came in the "Elizabeth and Ann," 1635, aged 20, may not have been a relative. Stephen Day, of Cambridge, the earliest printer on our side of the ocean, was a locksmith of Cambridge, England, brought over, in the "John," 1638, by Rev. Josse Glover, who died on the voyage. He began business in March, 1639, but was, I fear, unthrifty, for in 1647, the Almanac of his press purports to come from Greene became ruler in the office. Yet he was enter- his son who was very young, and the year following prising, having for his service, unluckily, been rewarded by grant of 300 acres in 1641, he was 2 years after en- gaged in settlement of Lancaster, and reduced to work as journeyman of Greene all his latter days .He brought from England, wife Rebecca, who had been widow of William Boardman, had Matthew, and probably after coming hither had Stephen, who died December 1, 1639, and Moses. His wife died October 27, 1659, he was ad- mitted of the church February 28, 1661, but was never freeman, and died December 22, 1668, aged 58. A catalogue of books of his printing is given by Thomas, in his History, I, 227-34. Thomas Day, of Gloucester, married December 30, 1673, Mary Laughton, had Thomas, born May 27, 1675 ; Mary, December, 1677; and Joseph, January 24, 1680. An earlier Thomas, whose inventory was found by Coffin 1670, was perhaps father of the preceding, born about 1651, and of Sarah, about 1652, may have been of Salem, a signer of the memorial 1668, against imposts, and perhaps father of John, another signer. Timothy Day, of Gloucester, freeman 1690, married July 24, 1679, wife Phebe had son born February 20, 1682. Wentworth Day, of Boston, 1640, has prefix of re- spectability on admission to the church September 22, but called a single man; soon after married, had Eliza- beth, baptized September 26, 1641, at 8 days old; and Wentworth, August 13, 1643, at 6 days. He was a sur- geon at Cambridge, and is honored by Rev. Mr. Hale, in his tract on Witchcraft, as saving in 1652, a woman charged with the horrid offence. Perhaps he went home, for one of this unusual name was in 1658, fined and im- prisoned as one of the fifth monarchy men, setting up the imaginary reign of King Jesus to disturb the abso- lute throne of Oliver Cromwell, in his last years. In September, 1661, living in London, he had a legacy in the will of Edward Shrimpton. William Day, of Boston, 1669, a mariner. Of descendants of first Robert a Register was pub- lished some years since by Rev. George E. Day, who shows that nineteen had been graduated at Yale, and one at each of the colleges following. Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst and Brown, and that ten of the eleven min. (ministers?) were living at his date of publication. One at Harvard College, 1806, was the earliest of the name in that catalogue. references.

Sometimes the name is Daighton. Samuel Dayton, of Southampton, L. I., 1641, prob- ably at New Haven, 1646, and Brookhaven, about 1655. Perhaps the distinguished family of New Jersey is of this stock.

Philip Delano, of Plymouth, came in the "Fortune," 1621, born of French or Flemish Protestant parents, but of the English church at Leyden, Winslow says, and 19 years old at his coming; was probably son of Jean and Marie, de Launey, baptized December 7, 1603, in the Walloon church of Leyden ; was freeman of that Colony 1632, removed soon after to Duxbury, married Decem- ber 19, 1634, Esther Dewsbury, and next, 1657, Mary, widow of James Glass, daughter of William Pontus, (though Ricketson makes her daughter of James Churchill, who is wholly unknown to me) ; and had child- ren (of which we are uncertain who may be elder or younger, whether all, or part, by first wife) Thomas, Mary, Philip, John, Jane, Rebecca, Jonathan, Esther, and Samuel. But as a family genealogy in MS. has been given to me, though it is confined to the descendants of Jonathan, yet as it purports to give the offspring of the Dewsbury marriage, three sons Samuel, Thomas and Jonathan, beside one daughter who died soon, it might be probable that three daughters and one son came of the second marriage. He removed to Bridgewater. was one of the purchasers of Dartmouth, 1652, and in 1662, of Middleborough, and died about 1681, aged 79 years old. Mary married November 29, 1655, Jonathan Durham. De La Noye was the name at first.

His will of June 26, 1690, with probate 1705, names sons John, Jonathan, 1639; Samuel, 1646; David, Ebenezer; and five daughters, wives of John Morgan (whose name was probably Rachel) ; of Richard Beckley ; of Thomas Hurlbut (whose name was Mary); of Thomas Wright, and probably Sarah, wife of Samuel Moody, beside some grand-children. Nicholas Deming, of Pemaquid, swore fidelity to Massachusetts, 1674. Thomas Deming, of Wethersfield, perhaps brother of first John, married July 24, 1645, Mary Sheaffe, was of Farmington, and removed to Southampton, L. I., thence to Easthampton, where posterity is still living. Some- times in the records the name is Demon or Dement, and the affinity is exceedingly difficult to be traced with exactness. Eight of this name had, in 1828, been grad- uated at New England colleges.

William Denison, of Rokbury, came with wife Mar- garet, and sons Daniel, Edward and George, in 1631. and was, perhaps, in the Lion, with Winthrop's wife and eldest son, beside apostle Eliot, in the record of whose church he stands third in the list; freeman July 3, 1632, representative 1635, but in 1637 taking sides with Wheel- wright, was disarmed. His wife died February 3, 1646 in the church records of Eliot's affection, called "old mother Denison" ; and he died January 25, 1654. William Denison, of Boston, living at Pulling Point, married October 27, 1659, Mary Parker. Of this name six had been graduated in 1834, at Harvard, but not one within 90 years, and of them J am uncertain about the parentage of Daniel, in 1690, and George, in 1693, but the earlier has the star marq in the catalogue of 1698, at other New England colleges seven had been gradu- ated, beside two with double "n."

DENMAN:— Alexander Denman, perhaps of Hamp- ton, married about 1678, the widow of Abraham Perkins, Jr., probably daughter of Thomas Sleeper. John Denman, of Dorchester, had Mary, who mar- ried Clement Maxfield. But great uncertainty prevails with reference to his residence, as no success followed the search for the line in Dorchester. In the adminis- tration on estate of widow Smead by her brother Israel Stoughton, 1639, of Dorchester, this man is entitled to a share of her property, as well as his daughter Max- field. 144 GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA.

Samuel, possible his son, was of the council of that province, 1684-92. Thomas Dennis, of Rowley, 1691. William Dennis, of Scituate, made his will Febru< ary 16, 1650, as by the abstract in Genealogical Reg., V, 335, is shown, but though his wife Judith is made Executrix, and he gives only to son-in-law William Parker and Remember, Dependence and Experience Litchfield, children of Lawrence, who married Judith, daughter of his wife no doubt, yet there may be doubt whether any children of his married Parker or Litch- field.

B, 1623, being of Catherine Hall, perhaps came over in 1638 or 9; and we fear, that the long dis- sension at Wethersfield about Rev. Henry Smith made it desirable for him to move about 1644, and he went to Stamford, and after a few months or years, to Hemp- setad, Long Island, where he died 1663. Probably he had family, perhaps son Daniel. We learn from Mather, that he had been a minister at Halifax, in Yorkshire, and most of his chapter 9, in Book III, 95 is taken up with telling that he was a little man, blind of one eye, and wrote a system of divinity. Better authority tells that he was of good family, and had, in 1631, curacy of Coley Chapel in that large parish. Richard Denton, of Dorchester, married December 11, 1657, Ruth, daughter of Thomas Tileston, died Dec. 28, 1658. His widow married October 13, 1663, Timothy Foster.

DERBY:— Edward Derby, of Braintree, 1660, mar- ried January 25 of that year, Susanna Hooke, had Mary, Eleazer and others. This Eleazer had Eleazer, and was grand-father of Rev. Jonathan in Harvard College Cata- logue, 1747, given Dorby. Francis Derby, of Warwick, died 1663. His will of October of that year mentioned wife Ann, eldest son Francis, and other child without naming him. The widow married John Read. Her son Francis was born January 20, 1660; and Eleazer, March 21, 1662. Roger Derby, of Ipswich, 1671, came from Tops- ham, in Devonshire, removed 1681 to Salem, there died 1698. In England he had married August 23, 1668, Lucretia Kilham or Hilman, who died May 25, 1689, and had Charles, born in England, July 27, 1669; Exper- ience, December 18, 1671; Samuel, November 24, 1673; Roger, January 1, 1675; John, February 15, 1677; Rich- ard, October 8, 1679 ; Lucretia, August 17, 1681 ; and Ebenezer, July 9, 1683, died at 5 years; a second wife Elizabeth, by which he had Elizabeth, March 14, 1692; Margaret, December 10, 1695 ; and Martha, September 11, 1697. Martha married 1719, Joshua Hicks. He was a shopkeeper, assisted by his wife in that way, and founder of the distinguished family of this name, great grand-father of Elias Hasket Derby, who died 1799, at Salem. Variation of this patronymic to Dorby and Darby, may be presumed. Nine of this name, including Rev. Jonathan Dorby, 1747, minister of Scituate, a man of great promise, great grandson of Edward, had been graduated in 1828, at Harvard and one at Bowdoin.

He was of Elltisley, about 12 miles from Cambridge, England, was, no doubt, related to Major-General John, who married a sister of Oliver Cromwell, and so by the usurper, entrusted to be of his upper house; and we may be sure went home in a few years, after 1638, when Lewis gives him residence here. Samuel Desborough, of New Haven, 1639, probably from London, son of James of Elltisley in County Cam- bridge, England, lord of that manor, probably brother of Isaac, born November 13 or 30, 1619, was one of the early settlers of Guilford, 1641, and at the gathering of the church, June 19, 1643, though so young, he was one of the seven pillars. The name of his wife is not found, probably he had more than one; and daughter Sarah, born March, 1649; is the only record of his family. In Mather, II, cap. 12, he is called John in the list of Assistants of the Colony, but that error is less gross than that of the date 1637, which was before any part of the colony was occupied by Christians. He went home in the Autumn of 1650, with his minister Whit- field. His wife died of small-pox, late in 1654; and he married Rose, widow of Samuel Penoyer, whose brother William, a merchant of London, benefactor of Harvard College, was trustee in the marriage settlement. Being brother of John, the Major-General, who had married a sister of Cromwell, and was one of the lords, he got rapid preferment, was a general officer, commissioner of revenues, and was soon chosen to parliament, in 1651, for Edinburgh, and in 1656, by Oliver's favor was re- 146 GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. turned to another of his assemblies, nicknamed Parlia- ments for Mid-Lothian, and rose to be Chancellor for the ancient kingdom, with 2000 lbs. sterl. annual allow- ance, in which station he continued some time under Richard. That successor in the royal protectorship, his brother, was one of the principal instruments of overthrow; as he had, indeed, successfully counteracted the desperate ambition of the great captain for the title of king, though he was elevated by his brother-in-law to a seat in the "other house," with the empty name of Lord. See the very copious and curious letter of Maid- stone to Gov. Winthrop of Conn., 3; Mass. Hist. Coll., I, 185. How long he preserved this dignity in the con- quered kingdom is not told. He died December 10, 1690, at family estate of Elsworth, Cambridgeshire. See Styles' History of the Judges, 35; Noble Memorial of the Cromwell Family, II, 254; Savage's Gen. Diet., II, 41.

Gregory Dexter, of Providence, preached in the bap- tist church, 1643, had been a printer and stationer in London, there brought out that curious book, Roger ■William's Key into the language of America, and his admiration of that author induced him to accompany or follow him; was town clerk, 1654; and President the year before, died at 90 years, it is said, in 1700. His children by wife Abigail, were Stephen, born November 1, 1647; James, May 6, 1650, perhaps, but the year is not plain; John, November 6, 1652; and Abigail, Sep- tember 24, 1655, who married James Angel. But_ in the latter days, a descendant of the sixth generation from Gregory has enlarged the family with Pelig, 1658. References: — Thomas, I, 418; Knowles, 253, 270. Richard Dexter, of Boston, admitted a townsman February 28, 1642, was of Charlestown, 1644, on Mystic side, where his estate descended through five genera- tions. By wife Bridget, one of the friends of the meek preacher Marmaduke Matthews, of Maiden, he had Sarah, born November 1, 1644, and other children of whose names I know only Elizabeth, who married about 1658, James Mellen; and Alice, wife of Benjamin Mussey, both born perhaps in England, and two other children, it is said, of which one was John, born about 1640. He was, I think, grandfather of John, and father of Rev. Samuel, born at Maiden, October 23, 1700, Har- vard College, 1720, minister of Dedham, ordained May 6, 1724, father of Hon. Samuel, born March 16, 1726, who was distinguished as patriot before the Revolution, and died at Maiden, June 10, 1810, leaving bequest to promote the study of sacred literature at Harvard College. Thomas Dexter, of Lynn, 1630, came probably in the fleet with Winthrop, freeman May 18, 1631, whose name has been omitted in printed volume, because he was de- franchised March 4, 1633; was one of the purchasers to promote settlement of Sandwich, 1637, but did not re- move for several years, was admitted freeman of Ply- mouth Colony, June 1, 1658, lived at Barnstable, there had Mary, born Aug. 11, 1649, had probably other child- ren beside Thomas and William, perhaps born in Eng- land, certainly the former; and the kindness of tradition gives doubtful grandson Richard, and great-grandson William ; and died in Boston, early in 1677. Lewis, 159. Six of this name had been graduated at Harvard, and six at Yale and Brown. references.

DICKINSON:— John Dickinson, of Salisbury, 1640, had wife Mary, who died April 16, 1647; and by her had Mary, born March 12, 1640 ; and John, October 20, 1642; had, perhaps, Ann, a second wife, died 1679; and he married April 14, 1681, Alice Roper, who may have been the widow of John, of Dedham; and he died December 30, 1683. Nathaniel Dickinson, of Wethersfield, 1637, town- clerk, 1645, representative 1646-56, removed 1659, to Hadley, was deacon in both places, freeman 1661, lived a few years at Hatfield, but went back to Hadley, died June 16, 1676. Four children, John, Joseph, Thomas and Hannah or Ann, he took with him on first going to Wethersfield, there had other six, Samuel, born 1638 ; Obidiah, April 15, 1641 ; Nathaniel, August, 1643, or perhaps four years earlier; Nehemiah, about 1644; Hezekiah, February, 1646; and Azariah, October 4, 164S. Hannah, who in her days is called Ann, mar- ried 1) John Clary, Jr., 1670, who died at Northfield; and 2) Enos Kingsley, of Northampton. Philemon Dickinson, of Salem, tanner, came with Benjamin Cooper, of Brampton, County Suffolk, as one of his servants, (but this might be to deceive an arbitrary government), embarked May 10, 1637, in the "Mary Ann," from Yarmouth, had grant of land 1639, admitted of the church 1641, freeman June 2, 1641, married Mary daughter of Thomas Payne, of Salem, had baptized there Mary, March 20, 1642; Thomas, March 10, 1644; Eliza- beth, 1646 ; and Peter, July, 1648 ; removed to Southold, L. I., and was in 1662 received as freeman of Connect- icut, but his will was presented in New York, where his ' widow was made administrator, October 28, 1672. Uni- formly this name is Dickerson in New York records, as it is found in the Augmentation Office, Westminster Hall, on the return from the custom house at Yarmouth, but the name of baptism is spelt Feleman, that seems much unlike that of the friend of St. Paul. Hon. Mahlon Dickinson, late a Senator of U. S. from New Jersey, is a descendant. Thomas Dickinson, of Fairfield, had been at New Haven, 1642, and it is unknown when he removed to Fairfield, but there he died about 1658, his inventory being of September 11, leaving Thomas, three daugh- ters, and widow Mary. Thomas Dickinson, of Rowley, 1643, died 1662, leav- ing James and four daughters. Of thirty-one gradu- ates of New England colleges, only three (1834) had been of Harvard. references.

His will of May 1, 1666, pro- bated June 1, 1667, is abstracted in Genealogical Reg- ister, VII, 225. John Dillingham, of Ipswich, who came in the fleet with Winthrop was perhaps, brother to Edward, a man of respectable condition, as is proved by the prefix, at his request, October 19, 1630, and also at admission as freeman May 18 following, came from Leicestershire, was first at Boston, being No. 71 of the list of members, and dead is written against it, so that he died soon, leav- ing wife Sarah, and children Edward "and Sarah; but Sarah alone was living when her mother made her will at Ipswich, July 10, 1636.

He had Thomas, perhaps John, and certainly Timothy, baptized January, 1640, died in a few months; Mehitable, April 17, 1642; Shubael, September 15, 1644; besides a son and daughter, twins, buried without names, March 18, 1641. His noncup. (?) will give all to his wife for the reason "that the children were hers as well as his." Various spelling has this name appeared in; and it may, originally, be the same as that of Dymocke, the hereditary champion of Eng- land, who at coronations, owes the service of challenge to all competitors for the crown.

DISBROW, DISBOROW or DESBROUGH:— Nicholas Disbrow, of Hartford, 1639, an early settler, not an original proprietor, married 1640, Mary Brunson, had Phebe, baptized December 20, 1646; Abigail, born February 1, 1649; and probably more; and, after 1669, says Porter, he married Elizabeth, widow of Thwaite Strickland; died in 1683, aged 71, and left four daugh- ters. Mary, married Obidiah Spencer; one married Samuel Eggleston; Phebe married John Kelsey; and Abigail married Robert Flood. In the year of his death, some ridiculous mischief is, by the Magnalia, VI, 69, honored as a tragedy of witchcraft; but Cotton bor- rowed the nonsense from his father's Remarkable Providense, page 113. By Colonial Records of Con- necticut, I, 45, he seems to have been unfortunate in his early relations. Peter Disbrow, of Rye, in New Haven jurisdiction, 1660, of which he was one of the purchasers from the Indians, representative 1665, perhaps also for Green- wich, in 1681 was called 50 years old. He married Sarah daughter of Nicholas Knapp, of Stamford. A John Dis- brow, of Rye, 1683, may have been his son; also Thomas, Fairfield, 1685, or earlier, who had wife Mercy, and son Thomas, who seems to be of age at death of his father early in 1707.

This we learn from Danforth's Almanac. See Winthrop, I, 287; who spells the name Dick which Felt prefers to give as Dike, and both Dikes and Deekes are found in some records. Edward Dix, of Watertown, came probably, in the fleet with Winthrop, and was first at Boston, No. 49, among members of the church, freeman March 4, 1635, by wife Jane, whose family name was Wilkinson, had Abigail, born May 2, 1637; Mary, May 2, 1639; John, September 4, 1640; and Rebecca, February 18, 1642, had second wife Susanna, who survived him; was aselectman and died July 9, 1660. The daughters were all married, viz., Abigail, December 1, 1653, to Thomas Parks, of Cambridge; Mary, February 5, 1663; Abraham Brown, Jr. ; and Rebecca, February 18, 1668, Thomas Flagg, Jr. His will of June 25, 1660, makes son John executor, but the inventory was sworn to December following, by John Wincoll, his guardian. Bond gives him another daughter Deborah, without date of birth, who married Richard Barnes of Marlborough, he says, and distin- GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. 151 guishes him from the Boston church member by re- marking that he embarked at the age of 19, on January 16, 1635, and that Jane Wilkinson, aged 20, embarked at the same time. So that there must have been two of the same name. But the member of the Boston church, and not the youth of 19, must have been that freeman, and this Deborah must have been a widow, for she was mother of Leonard, of Wethersheid. John Dix, of Taunton, 1669. Baylies, II, 241. John Dix, of Hartford, perhaps brother of Leonard, was required by court to marry Mary Birdwell, but was complained of for beating her, 1676, was still there taxed 1683; sold his house and land 1686, and one of his child- ren, John, died 1692. Leonard Dix, of Wethersfield, 1645, had wife Sarah, and died December 7, 1697, leaving John, Samuel and three daughters. He had been of Branford, and had grant of land there 1648; was born probably 1624, and the will which names the daughters Mercy, Hannah, and Elizabeth, provided for the widow who died 1709. Ralph Dix, of Ipswich, 1647, fisherman, had wife Esther and children John, born March 12, 1659 ; Samuel, August 28, 1661 ; removed next year to Reading, there had Stephen, June 18, 1664; and Stephen again, Decem- ber 14, 1672; freeman 1684, and died 1688. Of his descendants are Rev. Samuel, Harvard College, 1758, and J. A. Dix, late U. S. Senator from New York. Ralph Dix, of Maiden, freeman 1685, had lived at Reading years before. Samuel Dix, from Norwich, England, had leave to embark at Great Yarmouth, April 8, 1637, being aged 43 years, with wife Joane, 38; two children, Priscilla and Abigail, and two servants William Storey and Daniel Linsey, to come to Boston to inhabit, but I have not yet learned where he sat down. William Dix, of Hartford, perhaps brother of Leon- ard, a single man, died March, 1676 or 7. Six of this name had been graduated at Harvard in 1834.

DIXEY:— John Dixey, of Salem, 1639. Felt. Thomas Dixey, of Salem, 1637, had there baptized, Mary, January 12, 1645; Abigail, October 1, 1648; Thomas, January 29, 1654; Margaret, March 16, 1656; and John, April 26, 1657; was of Marblehead, 1674, died 1691. Another Thomas, at Marblehead, signed the petition against imposts 1688, as did the Salem man. Yet per- haps it was the same man, for in such cases it is some- times thought that more value attaches to the number than to the argument, and undue artifice is employed to swell the list. Margaret, aged 18, was one of the ser- vants of Percival Greene, embarked at London, 1635, in the "Susan and Ellen." William Dixey, of Salem, had come to Cape Ann, 1629 was next at Lynn, had baptized at Salem, Abigail, December 25, 1636; Ann, May 17, 1638; John, 1639; Elizabeth, 1641 ; and others ; freeman May 14, 1634 ; was captain of Beverly, about 1677, and died 1690, aged 82.

John Dixwell, of Dorchester, 1640, gave his share, with others, in Thompson's Island, February 7, 1642, for support of a free school. John Dixwell, of New Haven, came in 1664, it is said, after long concealment in Europe or elsewhere, flying from prosecution as one of the regicides, but it is supposed that his first quiet residence was at Hadley, with Goffe & Whalley, under shelter of Rev. John Russell, though the length of time is unknown. At New Haven he was called by himself and others, James Davids, mar- ried November 3, 1678, I think for second wife, Joanna, widow of Benjamin Ling, with whom who died in few weeks) he obtained comfortable property, and he mar- ried again October 23, 1677, Bathsheba How, had Mary, born June 9, 1679; John, March 6, 1681; and Elizabeth, July 14, 1682, who died young. His widow died at Middletown, December 27, 1729, aged 83, so that she was 39 years younger than her husband. His conceal- ment was perfect, but his real name was known to one or more of the chief people and confessed by himself shortly before his death March 18, 1689, in his 82d year. His only daughter Mary, married Decmber 23, 1707, John Collins, of Middletown. The family was and is still highly respected in Kent; and in the great civil war, the head of it Sir Basil stood and suffered for the royal cause. References: — Hinman's Conn. Settlers; Savage's Gen.

Emanuel Downing, of Salem, from London, where he was a lawyer of the Inner Temple, inhabitant of the parish of St. Michael, Cornhill Ward, was probably son of Emanuel, a clergyman in Ireland, came in 1638, with his wife Lucy, daughter of Adam Winthrop, Esq., of Groton, in County Suffolk, where she was baptized 1601, sister of our first Governor of Massachusetts, married 1622. They were admitted of the church 1638, and he was sworn a freeman 1689, representative the same year 1640, 1641, 1644 and 1648, was proposed for an Assist- ant in 1641, but not chosen. His children were George, 1623 or 4; Mary, who came over in 1633; James, who came over with his uncle, the Governor, 1630; Susan, who came with Mary, Ann, Lucy, and these following born on this side of the ocean, John, 1640; and Dorcas, 1641. He went home in 1642, back next year, and went again 1644, but came back next year. The date of his death is not found, nor that of his wife, though we see proof of his request to the General Court, September 1653, for his 600 acres to be laid out, and of her living 1656, when she gave to Capt. Joseph Gardner dowry on his marriage with her daughter, and the same shows that her husband Emanuel was dead. John Downing, died at Boston, 1694, was a merchant from. Nevis. John Downing, of Charlestown, to his wife Joanna, who bore him Mary, 1659, was given administration of his estate, 1663.

Richard Downing, of Ipswich, died 1702, but I know nothing more of him, except that in 1664 (three years before he married) he was 27 years old. Theophilus Downing, of Salem, 1642, had grant of land that year, and son Theophilus, 1642; Ann or Han- nah, 1644; and Benjamin, 1647; in the last instance the child is noted as of Ellen Downing. He was a fisher- man, and was of Marblehead part of the time. Wilt-tam Downing, of Boston, 1690, freeman that year. REFERENCES.

DYER:— Benjamin Dyer, of Boston, freeman 1675, his wife died 169§, her name was Mary, and he may have been son of Thomas. George Dyer, of Dorchester, sat on the jury at Court of Assistants, September, 1630, and may well be presumed to have come on the "Mary and John," re- quested admission as freeman and sworn October and May following. Constable 1632, had wife Elizabeth, daughters Elizabeth and Mary. Giles Dyer, of Boston, artillery company 1660, by wife Hannah, had Giles, 1674; Mary, 1677; Elizabeth, Hannah, 1083 ; and Giles, 1685. He was a Colonel and Sheriff of the Company, died 1713. John Dyer, came in the "Christian," at the age of 28, 1635, and two years after served in the Pequot war. He probably settled at New London, before 1650, and soon after went to Long Island, where he was in 1659. Thomas Dyer, of Weymouth, cloth-worker, said to have come as early as 1632, married Agnes Reed, who died 1667, had Mary, 1641; John, 1643; Thomas, 1645; Abigail, 1647; Sarah, 1649; Thomas, 1651; and Joseph and Benjamin, twins, 1653; was freeman 1644, repre- sentative 164<£ and four years more, was deacon, and died 1676, aged 63. His widow is named Elizabeth in her will William Dyer, of Boston, 1635, who wrote the name Dyre, was a milliner, from London, by wife Mary, had Samuel, 1635, husband and wife united with the church 1636, next year was disarmed as a stipporter of Wheel- wright, def ranchised, and 1638,' driven to Rhode Island. Other children were William, Henry, Mahershallalhas- baz, and Charles. At Newport, he was in good esteem, Secretary of that colony, and prevailed with the govern- ment of ours in 1659, when his wife had come to Boston to preach Quakerism, and was condemned to die there- for to spare her life ; but the insane desire of martyrdom led the poor woman back here in 1660 to. the scaffold; serving to show how useless was the unnatural lenity of Endicott, who knew well what the honor of God demanded. William Dyer, of Dorchester, died 1672, aged 93.

EARLE: — Francis Earle, a soldier, 1675, in Moseley's company at. the great Narragansett swamp fight. John Earle, of Northampton,, 1662, had come to Boston, 1656, aged 17, in the "Speedwell," from London, at Northampton, about 15 years, removed to unknown place, after having there married 1663, Mary, daugh- ter of first John Webb, and had Noah, John" and three daughters, of whom Mary was, perhaps, one. He may have been one of the Townsmen of Dartmouth, in 1686, or it may have been son of same name. Ralph Earle, of Rhode Island, 1638, among free- man 1655, had been admitted an inhabitant 1639, per- haps had sons Ralph, Thomas and William; and it is mentioned in Church's Indian wars. But in 1686, there were both Ralph, sen. and jr., among townsmen at Dartmouth, it may be doubted which of the two he meant. One, not the jr., is called the son of William. I think Ralph, of Portsmouth, R. I., 1638, that pur- chased 1653, of Underhill his conquest at Hartford,, (from the Dutch suspicions soon after the exploit), was he who made his will 1673, naming wife Joan executrix. Robert Earle, of Boston, 1679, kept the prison 1681, and several years after; died 1698. Robert Earle, of Newport, had come in the "Her- cules," I suppose, 1643, to some part of Mass., was born 1606, it is said, yet had wife in 1699, living at age of 105, however unlikely that she was so many years older. There were Roger and Samuel at Boston, 1695, of which the fetter died 1706, aged 34. GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA 165 William Earle, of Dartmouth, 1673, had Ralph, and was, perhaps, brother of Ralph the first, or he may have been his son.

Clement's Hist, of Newtown, N. J. EASTMAN: — Roger Eastman, an original proprie- tor, ancestor of all, it is believed, of the name in the land, died 1694, aged 83, and his widow Sarah, died 1698. They had John, 1640; Nathaniel, 1643; Philip, 1644; Thomas, 1646; Timothy, 1648; Joseph, 1651; Benjamin, 1653; Sarah, 1655; Samuel, 1657; and Ruth, 1662. He probably came from Southampton, 1638, on board the "Confidence," with many who sat down at Salisbury. • EASTON:— John Easton, of Hartford, had Sarah. 1670; Mary, 1672; Sarah, 1675; John, 1679; Mary, 1681; Mehitable, 1683; Abigail, 1687; and John, 1689. Joseph Easton, of Cambridge, freeman 1635, re- moved early to Hartford, where he had Joseph, John and perhaps other children, and was living 1685. Nicholas Easton, of Ipswich, one of the earliest settlers, a tanner, from Wales, came in the "Mary and John," 1634, freeman 1634, was representative 1635, and that year removed to Newbury, but, being a favorer of Wheelwright, was disarmed 1637, and went to Rhode Island, there in 1638, was chosen Assistant. A second wife Christian, widow of Thomas Beecher, who had been widow of Thomas Cooper of London, he married 1638, and she probably was mother of several of his children, but as she lived to 1665, we may presume that by third wife, Ann Clayton, married 1671, he had no issue. His children were John, 1621, and perhaps Daniel, Peter, Joshua, Nicholas, Mary, Patience, Elizabeth and Waite. He was President in 1672 and 3, was Governor, died 1675, aged 82. His widow Ann married Gov. Henry Bull and died 1708. references.

The name of Mary Easty, probably his wife, daughter of William Towne, tried and executed as a witch 1692, must be held in honor forever, for in her petition to Sir William Phips, the Governor, she begged not for her own life, which she knew must be vain, but only "that no more innocent blood may be shed."

It is thought that his wife of the "Mayflower," died soon after landing, and a second wife died soon, but Bradford says that he took third wife, and had three children by her. In the div- ision of lands 1627, this wife is called Christian, sup- posed to be Christian Penn, who came in the "Ann," 1623, no other in the Colony having such a name. By her he had Benjamin, 1627; and he died probably 1633, for his widow married 1634, Francis Billington. Jabez Eaton, perhaps of Dorchester. See Heaton. John Eaton, of Watertown, freeman 1636, removed to Dedham, had by wife Abigail, born there, John, 1640; and Jacob, 1642; besides other children, and died 1658, leaving John, Mary and Abigail, mentioned with their mother in his will. John Eaton, of Salisbury, 1646, by wife Martha, had Esther; Thomas, 1647; Martha, 1648; Elizabeth, 1650; Ann, 1652; Sarah, 1654; Mary, 1656; Samuel, 1659; Joseph, 1661; and Ephraim, 1663; and died 1668, per- haps at Haverhill, leaving a daughter, wife of George Brown, and perhaps Ruth. John Eaton, of Salisbury, by wife Mary, had Mary, 1685; James, 1691; Samuel, 1692; perhaps Martha, 1695; and Jonathan, 1698. John Eaton, of Reading, by wife Elizabeth, married 1639, had Thomas, 1661; and Elizabeth, 1662; perhaps other children, freeman 1677. JdHN Eaton, of Haverhill, had a daughter who mar- ried 1660 or 70, James Davis, of the same. Jonas Eaton, of Watertown, removed to Reading, by wife Grace had Mary, 1644; John, 1645; Jonas, 1647; Jonas again, 1648; Joseph, 1651; Joshua, 1653; Jona- than, 1655; and David, 1657, was freeman 1653, and died 1674. Two Johns, at Reading, one died 1691, and the other died 1695, and we infer that one, but which is doubtful, was his son. Nathaniel Eaton, of Cambridge, brother of Gov. Theophilus, was horn about 1609, freeman 1638, the first head of Harvard College, but not dignified with title of President; on censure by the government fled to Virginia, and family went home, and died there. His wife with her children, except Benoni, followed him to Virginia, in a ship never heard of after. Samuel Eaton, of New Haven, brother of the pre- ceding, son of Richard, bred at Magdalen College, Cambridge, where he had his degree 1624 and 28, came to New England, 1637, probably had wife and no child- ren, went home after three years, had a living at Duckenfield, Co. Chester, near Manchester, until the great ejection, and died at Denton, 1665 or 6, aged 68. Theophilus Eaton, of New Haven, brother of the two preceding, was born at Stony Stratford, in Co. Bucks. His father was minister there, and after at Coventry. He was deputy-governor of the East land or Baltic company in London, and by King James em- ployed as his agent at the Court of Denmark. He had wife and child at London, and he married for second wife, Ann, widow of David Yale, daughter of Thomas Morton, Bishop of Chester, who had kindness for the Puritans. The family seat was in that shire, and the Governor in his will devises the estate at Great Bud- worth, in the same County. He came in 1637 to Boston, and after went with his fellow passenger Davenport to found the settlement of New Haven, in 1639 was made Governor, and so, by annual choice was continued until his death 1658, aged 67. His will names three children only, Theophilus, Mary and Hannah, but mentions his wife, her son Thomas Yale, and son-in-law Edward Hopkins, late Governor of Connecticut, then in London. Samuel, born in London 1630, probably came with his father 1637, was the son of Theophilus also. The widow went home and died 1659. The son Theophilus, and unmarried daughter Hannah went with the mother. Theophilus, jr., lived at Dublin; but Hannah married 1659, at London, William Jones, who next year came to New Haven. Thomas Eaton, of Reading, had Joseph, 1652. Thomas Eaton, of Haverhill, married at Andover, 1659, Uniee Singletary of Salisbury; freeman 1666; was killed by the Indians, 1698. Thomas Eaton, of Dedham, freeman 1681. William Eaton, of Watertown, came in 1635 or 6, from Staple in Kent, embarked at Sandwich, with wife Martha, three children, and one servant, had Daniel, 1639; and Mary, 1643; removed to Reading; was free- man 1653, had John; died 1673. He had daughter Martha, and his will mentions wife Martha, eldest son John, Daniel, daughter Mary, and two son-in-laws. The widow died 1681. William, freeman 1691, probably his son also. An Abigail Eaton, aged 35, with Mary and Thomas, children, came 1635, in the "Elizabeth and Ann," follow- ing the husband and father, to us unknown. references.

Yet he may have been a dependent of that house. He re- moved to Saco, about 1660.

I suppose he was a German doctor, and that Ludecus, which remained for a family name, after rejection of Edlin, was in reality abbreviated for Ludovicus, for the abomination of a double one could not be endured even in the mist skillful deciple of Hippocrates.

Possibly only one man so named was in London. He had wife Christian at Con- cord, Sarah, 1640; Christian, 1646; and several others, probably before as well as after.

ELIOT, or ELLIOT and ELLIOTT:— Andrew Eliot, of Beverly, came from Somersetshire, it is said, but no date is known, had only son Andrew, born 1651 in England; was representative 1690-2. He was of the juries, says tradition, which tried the witches, and had great mental affliction on that account the residue of his life.

He was made deacon 1653, and died 1677. Tacob Eliot, of Boston, elder brother of Rev. John, came probably with him in the "Lion," 1631, freeman 1632 deacon 1640, which is quite observable, as he was disarmed two and a half years before, as one of the pes- tilent heretics that supported Wheelwright and Mrs. Hutchinson in their "opinions and revelations ; and died 1651, leaving widow Margery, who died 1661. His children were Jacob, baptized 1632, John, 1634; Hannah, !637; Abigail, 1639; Susanna, 1641; Mehitable, 1645; Sarah, Asaph, 1651.

She died 1687, had Hannah, 1633; John, 1636; Joseph, 1638; Samuel 1641; Aaron, 1644; and Benjamin, 1647. Ever honorable will be the name of Eliot for the philanthropic labor of forty years in spreading among our aborigines the sentiments and in some degree the doctrines of his religion. He died 1690. John Eliot, of Watertown, 1633, by wife Margaret, had Elizabeth, 1634; John, 1636; Ann, 1638; Samuel, 1640; Martha, 1641; and Sarah, 1643; sold his estate in 1646, and removed probably to Stamford, 1650, where wife Margaret died 1658. John Eliot, of Amesbury, took oath of a legiance, 1677. Joseph Eliot, of New London, 1667, removed to Stonington, had, perhaps, Henry. Philip Eliot, of Roxbury, brother of the apostle, came probably early in 1635, in the "Hopewell," with his wife Elizabeth, aged 30, children Mary, 13; Eliza- beth, 8; Sarah, 6 ; and Philip, 2- All were from Nazing, the seat of the family. He was freeman 1636; deacon; representative 1654-7, and died 1657. We may con- jecture that another daughter was born on this side of the ocean. Richard Eliot, of Beverly, died 1664. Richard Eliot, of New London, 1662, transient. Robert Eliot, of Casco, 1670, of Scarborough, 1685, representative, lived at Portsmouth, and was in 1716, eldest of the council of New Hampshire.

He came to America in May, 1635, in ship ''Plain Joan," and settled at Watertown, Mass. In 1666-67-70-71-72 he was deputy. In 1672, a member of town council. Died in September, 1674.

In your issue of May, 1899, you give Chace Brown as having four sons. He also had a daughter Phoebe, who was my ancestress. M. K. Barney, Arden, North Caro!ina. I saw in your Notes on Early Settlers: — ■ BIXBY: — Daniel, settled in Andover, Mass., married Hannah Chandler, daughter of Thomas Chandler, etc., etc. This is all true, but he was not the original Bixby of America. Joseph Bixby, born in Bexlord, England, about 1620, come from there to Ipswich, Mass., in 1637, with his father and mother Nathaniel and Mary. He married 1647, widow Sarah Wyatt Hewed, who came from Arlington, Suffolk Co., England. He settled in Rowley, (now Bexford, Mass.,) was one of the incorporators of the town of Bexford Selectman, and held other important offices. He died in Bexford, 1700. He had the following children: Joseph W., Sarah, Nathaniel, Mary, George, Jonathan, Daniel, Benjamin and Abigail. This son Daniel married Hannah Chandler, and settled in Andover, as you stated. A. B. Bixby. The name BOWKER, page 51. My husband's family are from people of that name, but they have little data-. The grave-stone of his great grandfather, reads: "Mr. Joseph Bowker, born at Scituate, Mass., March 16, 1739; died at Georgetown, (now Phipsburg, Me.,) March 4, 1802, aged 62 years- Elizabeth Conrus Bowker, born 1739, died at Meadowbrook, November, 1831, aged 93." It is supposed in the family she also was from Scitu- ate. You see these dates all tally, but do not agree with yours, as you have Benjamin, born February 14, 1739, unless they were cousins. Now can you tell me anything more of the Bowker preceding? Any infor- mation would be gratefully accepted. The Bowker arms are: "Hebrareth argent, a chevron vert, between three round buckles. Azure, by the name of Bowker, of Scotland, arid descends to the name and family." This description is dated Boston, August 8th, 1728." The general surroundings and embellish- ment suggest to me a Boston dealer's make, but it is certainly old, as that date and treasured by them. They think their father's ancestor was Lazarus Bowker.

In your Genealogical Guide, etc., you give: "JOHN BISSEL, of Windsor, Conn., born inSomerset, England, died at Windsor, October 3, 1677****** He had John, Thomas, Samuel, Nathaniel, 1640; Mary and Joice * * * etc.," and Thomas Bissel, brother of above, was born in England, married October 11, 1655, Abigail, daughter of Duncan John Moore * * * etc." Are you not in error in stating that Thomas, who married Abigail Moore, was the brother of John- Sav- age gives this Thomas as the son of John, and his mar- riage in 1655 would indicate that he was a young man ; while John at that date, was 63 years of age. I have always understood that this Thomas was the son of John the immigrant, and should not want to accept your "brother" theory without justly strong evidence. What is your authentic for the statement? C. S. Gleason, Seattle, Wash. of responsibility in the State and Church. These men were born in Lexington and are direct descendants of Nathaniel of 1630. This is probably how much of the confusion of families came about after the Germans took the name in the same state. Knowing that you wish your references correct, I send you this statement. Sarah Bowman Van Ness- On page 64, of Genealogical Guide, next to last line, last column, "Loome's Gen." doubtless means "Loomis Gen. Female Lines." Among the Browns in the Genealogical Guide, I fail to identify John Brown, (brother of Peter, of the May- flower). He joined the church in Leyden, came to Ply- mouth, Mass., and later to Rehoboth, where he died 1662. By wife Dorothy, had James, married Lydia Howland; Mary, married Thomas Willett, 1636, and John — John was the oldest son and died before his father. John Brown received into his family the orphaned children, Mary and Priscilla, daughters of his brother Peter Brown, of the Mayflower. The second John, on page 63, seems to be the one, but does not agree with my information. Possibly, I am wrong, but if so, shall be glad to be corrected. On page 61, of Genealogical Guide, some text under Brownson is well, the columns on that page, I see are reversed. T. H. Loomis. BOWEN: — Griffith Bowen, wife Margaret Fleming, Chas, Margaret, Francis, William, Henry, Mary, Esther, Abigail, Penuel, (not "Peniel"), Elizabeth, Deviah. He left America about 1655. He was living in London as late as 1670. Obediah Bowen was of Swanzea, not "Swanzey." A. S. W. Brickard. You mention "Nathaniel Bowman," who arrived at Watertown, with Winthrop, 1630. In the list of Refer- ences following, you give "Bowman Gen." published 1885- Allow me please to correct this mistake — the "Bowman Genealogy" was published by Dr. Jesse Bowman Young, in Harrisburg, Pa., 1885. Mr. Young descends from Christopher Bauman, who came to America from Ems, Germany, about 1754, and located in Pennsylvania- About this time, this family of "Bauman's," (meaning Builder or Architect), appro- priated our name of Bowman, which was given to our family in the earliest ages of England, for the expert use of the bow, the two families being entirely different and Nathaniel and his descendants are not the family of whom the "Bowman Genealogy" was written. For information regarding the history of the Bau- man family, please refer to the Memoir of Rev. Geo. Bryant Bowman, Boston Pub. Library, 2343 11th St., page 13. At the close of the Revolutionary War, Captain Sam. Bowman, Ebenezer and Joshua, his brohters and a nephew, Isaac Bowman, located in Wilkesbarre, Pa., and they and their descendants have filled many places I have been looking over your Brooks data and notice that you have omitted the earliest Brooks that settled in this country. He was Captain Thomas Brooks of Concord, Mass. In his place I see you have a "Capt. Robert Brooks," but this is erroneous, as there never was a Captain Robert Brooks of Concord. Capt. Thos. Brooks was of Watertown, Mass." where he had a lot assigned him on the main road in 1631, but removed to Concord, before 1636. He did not buy his property at Medford, however, until 1660. He was representa- tive to the General Court in 1642, 1643, 1644, 1654, 1659, 1660, 1661 and 1662— eight years. He also had besides the children you name a daughter Hannah, who married Thomas Fox of Watertown. Captain Thomas Brooks' fifth child was Gershom, not Gershaw, as you have it. All of these facts differ from your statements, but I have ample proof of the accuracy of my data. I spent many ears in hunting up the Brooks family, and the result in manuscript form is before me as I write- Now, about the other Brooks that you mention. First, Ebenezer Brooks, of Woburn, was not a first settler there, but was a grandson of Henry Brooks, who was of that town in 1649, but of Concord in 1639. You say Henry Brooks of Concord, freeman 1639, had Joseph, 1641. There was no Joseph Brooks, son of this Henry Brooks that I have ever been able to learn of. I do not know whether you publish any corrections or not in your Genealogical Guide, but as the value of an article depends upon its accuracy, I feel justified in sending you the above corrections. Walter F. Brooks, Worcester, Mass. On page 63, I learn some startling facts about my family. The fact that John Brown, of Watertown, ar- rived September 16, 1652, in the ship "Lion," is probably a misprint for 1632, and the ship "Lion," but I fail to see where you found the son James. ,Their oldest child was John born at Hawkedon, County Suffolk, in Eng- land, in 1631, the next Hannah, born September 8, 1634, the next Mary, born March 24, 1636, the two latter at Watertown, as the records which I have seen state. John, the father "was buried ye 20th day of ye 4th month 1636," so you see there could be no James. John Brown, of Cambridge, called a Scotchman, who married Esther Makepeace, who was the John born in England, in 1631. He lived in Cambridge, Marlboro, Falmouth and Watertown. He lived in a part of Water- town, later Lexington, which was called Scotland, hence, the name- His son Joseph, the youngest child, was great grand- father of my great-grandfather, Joseph who was born in Lexington in 1773, and lived till 1850. The latter Joseph has many times told the family history from the emi- grant down to my grandmother, who is living at the age of 93, and my father who is also alive, so I feel con- fident of its truth. Had you been familiar with the family you could easily have gotten this solution from either Hudson's Lexington, or Brown's History of Bedford. Maud L. Brown, Chelsea, Mass. GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. 175 With reference to the Bowen family, those in this country and principally traced from Richard Bowen, of Rehoboth, Mass., (c 1640), Griffith Bowen, of Boston, (Map 1638), See:— (1) "Memorial of theBowen Family," by EC. Bowen, M. D., part I. Rand, Avery & Co., Boston, 1884- (2) "The Family of Griffith Bowen," (especially the branch of Silas Bowen, born Woodstock, Conn., 1722), by Daniel Bowen. Da Costa Printing Co., Jackson- ville, Fla., 1893. (3) "lineage of Bowens of Woodstock, Conn.," by Edward Augustus Bowen. Riverside Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1897. The Rev. J. E. Bowen, of West Point, New York, is and long has been engaged in the collection of Bowen data, and has a large mass of it already. Arnold's Vital Record of Rehoboth, Mass., gives many datas, about the Richard Bowen branch. Wm. M. P. Bowen, Providence, R. I. I am a direct descendant according to my records taken from Todd's Burr Genealogy and various oilier sources it should be Jehu Burr, instead of John— (who was son of Jehu and probably came to America with his father) — otherwise the account corresponds with mine, which states that Jehu Burr came in Winthrop's fleet in 1630, was in Roxbury, 1635, where his and his wife's — Stedman's names appear as church members 1635, he was appointed overseer of arches and bridges. In 1636, he joined the Wm. Pyncheon Colony, which planted Springfield where the records show he was a very prominent man. In 1645, he removed to Fair., eld, Conn-, where he also held many prominent and respon- sible positions at Commissioner, Representative, etc. He died about 1672, left four sons Jehu, John, Daniel and Narthaniel, and possibly daughters. I have every reason to believe my record is right, but if it is not, I shall be glad to correct it. Mrs. A. C. Olmsted, Batavia, N. Y. The' statement on page 58, that Lucretia, (wife of Jonathan Brewster), came in the "Mayflower," is a mis- take which should be corrected when your Genealogical Guide is published in book form. Shurtleff, Savage and Baylies, who wrote before the discovery of Gov. Brad- ford's manuscript history, all have the same error. The discovery in 1855, of the Bradford history, (sometimes called the "Mayflower Log,") with its carefully compiled list of the passengers of the "Mayflower," makes it cer- tain that Lucretia and her son William, (grandson of Elder William Brewster), did not come on that vessel. Bradford's list is the supreme authority By an oversight, as he himself says, Mr. Dav.s in his "Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth, part II, page 44 „" k ^e same error, but on page 24, of part I, he Sef 4e ?a"ts corVectly. Goodwin's "Pilgrim Republic," to which I recently called your attention, is rfX in this, as in most of its statements- The above and other errors have unfortunately crept 5ntn the list given in the handsome First Book of the Q^ietv of Mayflower Descendants, issued 1896. Tt is to be hoped that the Society will hasten to pub- lish a new list in which these mis-statements do not occur. G. Hunter Bartlett, Buffalo, N. Y. I recently saw in the "Genealogical Guide to Early Settlers," as published in your journal for October, (vol. VI, No. 2.), page 100, the following line: Comeggs. Old Kent, Md., 224. The name, as printed in your journal, is mis-spelled and should be Comegys — as it appears in "Old Kent of Maryland," by Hanson- Cornelius Comegys, (referred to) was born in Lex- mont, Holland, and went to Kent County, Md., about 1661, where he had a large plantation. He was natural- ized, with his entire family, in 1671. (Chap. XXIX, Act of Assembly.) References: — Bacon's Laws of Mary- land; Archives of Maryland, p. 241, (1689); Old Kent of (Maryland, by Hanson, p. 224 ; Memoirs of Long Island Historical Society, vol. 1, pp. 198-202. (Dankers & Sluyter's Journal.) I send the corrected spelling of the name, and have mentioned the other details merely for your information as in corroboration of the true spelling of the name. Charles G. Comegys. Charles G. Comegys, Cincinnati, Ohio- If you will kindly compare the following dates, etc., you will see that Savage is undoubtedly mistaken in say- ing that Mary Coultman, (John 1,) married John 2, Nash (Edward 1,) in fact in the Notes under Nash, Savage himself credits John Nash with a different wife. From Gen. Guide E. Set. of America. John Coultman, of Wethersfield, 1645, a schoolmaster, who had been a servant with Leonard Chester . . . His daughter Mary, married May 1, 1684, John Nash, of Norwalk .... From Wethersfield Records, New Eng. H. & G. Reg., vol. 1862, page 140. John Coultman and Mary, his wife, were married September 2, 1667. Issue Mary, born November 29, 1672; Elizabeth, born January 14, 1677; Anna, born March 11, 1681. From this you see that Mary Coultman was e 1 even and a half years old when John (2) Nash was married. Hist, of Norwalk, by Sellick, page 105. Edward 1, Nash of Norwalk, married the widow Bar- ton, whose daughter Mary Barton married John 2, Nash, (Edward 1), i. e. John 2, Nash of Norwalk mar- ried his step-sister Mary 2, Barton (Thomas 1)- Some of this confusion may have arisen from con- fusing the widow of Thomas Barton, of Fairfield, (who married Edward Nash), with the widow of another Thomas Barton, who married John Combs. Each of these widows seems to have had a daughter Mary, and both Maries appear to have been of suitable age to marry John 2, Nash. Mary 2, Coultman, again: — From Wethersfield Records, New Eng., H. & G. Reg., vol. 1886, page 126. "David Sage and Mary, daughter of Jno. Coultman, was married May 3, 1693" Hall Ancestry, p. 216, says that the David Sage who married Mary 2, Coultman (John 1), was born February 1, 1665, and was eldest son of David and E 1 izabeth (Kirby) Sage, of Middletown, Conn. I do not consider Hall Ancestry good authority, but this may be so- L, Bethune, Buffa 1 ©, N, Y, 176 GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA. B YRAM : — Nicholas Byram, according to family tra- dition was son of an English gentleman of the County of Kent, who removed to Ireland about the time this son was born. His father sent him at the age of sixteen to visit his friends in England in charge of a man, who be- trayed his trust, robbed him of his money, and sent him to the West Indies, whence he was sold to service to pay his passage, and after his term expired he made his way to New England and settled at Weymouth. He married Susanna, daughter of * Abraham Shaw of Ded- ham, and bad Nicholas, Abigail, who married Thomas, Whitman, 1656; Deliverance, who married John Porter, 1660, Experience, who married John Willias, Susanna, who married Samuel Edson, and Mary, who married Samuel Leach. These were all born at Wey- mouth. In 1660, he bought three proprietary or original purchase rights in Bridgewater and settled there soon after. He died 1688; she died about 1698." (Hist, of Bridgewater, by Nahum Mitchell, 1840.) * Abraham Shaw, of Dedharn, made free 1637 — his will on Boston Records without date, but inventory was taken in 1638, no wife named in will. (Mitchell's History.) In your pages of the "Genealogical Guide," I notice that you have the names of HUGH Calkins, and also Hugh Caulkins, as if they were two separate individual. They are identically the same person. You have been misled by the fact that the name is sometimes spel'ed in both ways. O. P. Dickinson, Chicago, 111. On page 83, under the name Chapin, you give as the name of a son of Deacon SamUel Chapin, the name Joseph, 1642, it should be "Japbat, 1642," as per Chapin Genealogy and also Chapin, page 26, 27. Japhat or Japhet is quite a common name in the Chapin family. Mrs. Eva Chapin Maple, Maquon, 111. Under Church, in the "Genealogical Guide to the Early Settlers of America," I note a most unpardon- able error. "Richard Warren, probably came in the Lion, 1623." "Mr. Richard Warren," as he is generally styled, was one of the Historical Founders of Plymouth Plantation, and signed the Mayflower Compact in 1620. Let us hope the value of the Notes is not to be judged by the above statement! Mrs- Morris P. Ferris, Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. Richard Warren, fourth son of Christopher Warren of Greenwich, Kent, married Elizabeth Juatt, or Jewett, and came in the "Mayflower," December 22, 1620- "1628. This year, this Mr. Richard Warren, a useful instrument in the difficulties attending the settlement of Plymouth." "Mistress Elizabeth Warren, an aged widow, aged 90 years deceased on the 2nd of October, 1673, who hav- ing lived a Godly life, came to her grave as a shoke of corn fully ripe. She was honorably buried on the 4th of October aforesaid." CHEEVER: — Ezekiel Cheever was born in London, Jan. 25, 1614 ; came to Boston in June, 1637, and to New Havenprobabiy the next Spring and taught school there. —In list of planters his stands sixth. He removed in 1649, to Ipswich, Mass., and taught school; and to Charlestown in 1661, teaching the school there. In 1670, on invitation of the Selectmen he took charge of the school in Boston, at 60 pounds Sterling, per annum, and remained in this capacity until within a couple of years of his death, at the age of 94, August 21, 1708, having taught school for seventy-two years. His first wife Mary , died in New Haven, January 20, 1649, and he married second November 18, 1652, Ellen Lathrop, sister of Captain Thomas Lathrop, of Beverly; she died in Boston, September 10, 1706. T. H. Loomis, Brooklyn, N- Y. I do not think you gave John Clark, a nice notice at all. He took the freeman's oath at General Court, held November 6, 1632, one of the forty-two original propri- etors of Newtown, now Cambridge, March 29, 1632, see Savage's Winthrop I, 104, and/130. In Paige's Hist, of Cambridge, p. 510, John Clark owned land on corner Brattle and Mason Sts., which he sold to Edward Mason, and removed to Hartford, 1635, with the Rev. Mr. Hooker's Co., and his name is on the monument in the First Church. There is not much doubt that his second wife was Rebecca Marvin, daughter of Matthew Marvin, and his wife Alice, of Hartford, who died before him. Mrs. G W- Percy, Oakland, Cal. Refering to Nathaniel Clark, p. 90, "Spirit of '76," for September. I find a disagreement with Clark Gene- alogy, G K. Clark, Boston, T. R. Merriam & Son, which says : — "Nathaniel Clark, who married Elizabeth Somerby, died August 25, 1690. His son Nathaniel, also married Jane Toppan, died on board of the ship "Six Friends," in October of the same year, aged 24. Rufus W. Clark, Detroit, Mich. Refering to your October Number, page 103, Francis Cook, of Plymouth, Mass. Please allow me to note the following for your notice. Rev- John Cooke, of Dartmouth, Mass., and son of Francis Cooke, came with his father in the "Mayflower," 1620. His mother Esther, came in the "Ann," 1623, with children Jacob, Jane and Esther. He married March 28, 1634, Sarah Warren, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Warren, of London, Eng. Richard came in the "Mayflower," 1620, and Elizabeth and the five children came in the "Ann," 1623. Rev. John Cooke was one of the first purchasers of Dartmouth land at "Cooksett," 1652, (now Westport), July 1, 1672, he settled an account with the town wiHh a committee, of Lieut. John Smith, (of "Smith's Neck,") Samuel Hicks and Pelig Nipp — they "find that John Cooke shall have and forever enjoy a little island called Ram Island in the Coaksett River, and 14 pounds Sterling." Their children were : — Elizabeth, born married November 21, 1661, Daniel, the son of Edward Willcox. Esther, born August 16, 1650. Mercy, born July 25, 1654. Mary, born 1657. Sarah, born married Nov. 20, 1652, Arthur Hathaway- I find your notice of Francis Cooke correct of record. I have much data and news of Dartmouth, Mass., my town of birth, and have been a student of genealogy for over 50 years — and would at any or all times favor you with memorandum of old historic Dartmouth.
