I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO dCJe Inj&aliftants of tng Watt'ire Eaian; BOTH 3BE LIVIITG, WHOSE FRIENDSHIP I ESTEEU, ASH THE DEAD, WHOSE UEUOBT I CBEBISH. PREFACE. This book is neither a history of the Old Coloily nor a his- tory of Plymouth. It contains matter lying, for the most part, outside of the domain of history, and will therefore, it is hoped, fill a place in Pilgrim literature not already occupied. Its division into two parts seems necessary in consequence of the widely differing nature of the materials of which it is composed. The First Part, largely devoted to abstracts of titles of estates, is prefaced by so much matter of a purely historical nature as is needed to throw clear light on the methods by which the estates were originally secured to the Plymouth colonists. While not a few readers may find in the prelimi- nary narrative something to interest and instruct them, it is believed that all descendants of the Pilgrims will follow the abstracts with an eye eager to identify localities associated with the lives of their ancestors. The Second Part consists of a Genealogical Register, based on the records of the town of Plymouth, and includes all the marriages and births therein entered, down to the present generation. To this has been added a large amount of ma™ terial gathered from the records of other towns ; from family Bibles and old papers , from the Probate Records and the Registry of Deeds; and from tradition. It is believed to V VI PREFACE. contain nearly every name connected with Plymouth before the present century. In both parts ancient dates, unless otherwise stated, are inade conformable to the present style. It is hoped that the chapters on the Burial Hill, the streets, the ancient local names, the Fire Department, the schools, and the churches will enhance the interest of the book to many readers. Three maps accompany the work. That of the harbor and bay of Plymouth in 1605 is taken from a translation of Champlain's voyages, published by the Prince Society in 1878, by the kind permission of Eev. Edmund F. Slafter, the ed- itor. This map has a special interest, because it shows the configuration of the harbor of Plymouth, with its islands and headlands, when visited by the first European of whose ex- plorations in that quarter we have any positive knowledge. The map of Burial Hill delineates its boundaries, paths, an- cient graves, and other interesting features, and designates the burial-places of many families. The map of Plymouth in 1701 is the result of the author's investigations. It exhibits the streets and ways existing at or near that time, with the houses of about two-thirds of the inhabitants, and the names of their occupants within what was called the mile-and-a-half tract. It was the intention of the author to add a chapter on the modes of living of our ancestors, g,s disclosed by the inven- tories of their estates, but want of space in a volume already larger and more cumbersome than he designed forbids. These inventories are recorded in the Old Colony records beginning A. D. 1633. They are very minute, and enumerate not only the houses, lands, and live stock, but also all household and PEEFACE. VU farm utensils, all books and every article of furniture or ap- parel, and furnish ample material for an accurate judgment of both the habits and customs of early times, and the tastes, culture, and worldly condition of the early colonists. In the light of these inventories many articles, inconsiderately claimed by their possessors to have been brought to New England in the Mayflower, must be referred to a later,period. It will not be safe to exhibit a china or porcelain teapot or mug as a Pilgrim relic when no article of either china or porcelain is found in these teU-tale lists before 1660. The fact that tea was a rare luxuryin England as late as 1657, and was sold at that date at £6 per pound, fortifies the story which these inventories tell. Neither were forks used in England when the Pilgrims left it ; and travellers of that period speak of the use in Italy of forks instead of napkins as a new and curious one. The English were in the habit of holding their food in a napkin with the left hand, while with the right they cut it with a knife and carried it to the mouth. A habit now esteemed vulgar was once universal, and, like many a good old Saxon word, has been borne down to the present generation on the under- current of the uncultivated and unrefined portion of society. It was the back of the knife, however, which entered the moutii, and the protuberance on the back of old-fashioned knives, which doubtless many now living have seen, is a relic of an old custom which lingered after the habit of eating with a knife had disappeared. We accordingly find in the early inventories large numbers of napkins and an entire absence of forks. Chairs were, in early Pilgrim days, articles of luxury, the use of stools being almost universal. Only a few families Vm PEEFAOB. indulged in these luxuries, and up to 1650 the inventories contain a smaller number than is probably now claimed to have been a part of the burden of the first ship. It is to be hoped that at an early day the publication of the Old Colony Eecords by the Commonwealth will be resumed, and that these interesting inventories of the estates of the Pilgrim Fathers will be permitted to reveal the secrets of Pilgrim days. In a work of this character, the author cannot expect that either his Abstracts of Titles or his Genealogical Eegister will be found entirely free from errors. He is content to claim credit only for faithful labor and an honest purpose, and as he has corrected many errors of others, he leaves as a legacy to those who come after him the correction of his own. Plymouth, Mass., Jan. 22, 1883. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. In issuing a second edition of " Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth " the author is glad of the opportunity to correct such errors as have come to his notice. Some of these errors were misprints, some, like stowaways, found a lodging-place in unknown and mysterious ways, and some were confessedly without excuse. Some additions have been made to the his- torical part of the work and many to the genealogical part. The corrections and additions have been placed in an ap- pendix, as it would have been impossible to incorporate them in the stereotyped text of the first edition. Plymouth, June 20, 1899. CONTENTS.

The Pilgiims in Holland. — An-angements Preliminary to their Departure. — Virginia Company — Merchant Adventurers. — Passengers in the Mayflower. — Desi)ination. — Arrival at Plymouth. In the winter of 1607-8 the members of the Pilgrim Church, which, during the previous year, had held its Sabbath- meetings in the Manor House at Scrooby, under the minis- trations of Kichard Clyfton and John Eobinson, made an unsuccessful attempt to reach Holland from Boston in Lincoln- shire. "Why their departure should have been interfered with, when the penalty for the offence of Separatism was banishment, many have found it difficult to understand. But the king had issued a proclamation against emigration to the English colony of Virginia without a royal license, and a sus- picion was entertained, either real or feigned, that such was the destination of the Scrooby band. During the spring of 1608 they succeeded in effecting their escape from England, and, after vexatious delays and annoyances, reached Amster- dam in safety. It was intended at first to make that city their home, but dissensions between John Smith and Francis Johnson, English Separatists, already settled there, which they feared might become contagious, induced them to re- move in the spring of 1609 to Leyden, twenty-two miles distant ; and that place, for nearly t\<:elve years, they made their residence. Precisely how many, and who at that time composed the Pilgrim Church besides William Bradford, and the families 2 PLYMOUTH COLONY. of Eobinson and Brewster, is not known, though it is probable that members of the Wright, Southworth, Morton, and Batten families were among the number. Either at that time, or at a later day, they were joined by William White, Isaac Aller- ton, Samuel Fuller, Degory Priest, and Edward Winslow from London, Eobert Cushman from Canterbury, John Jenney from Norwich, Richard Masterson from Sandwich, and John Carver and Miles Standish, and other exiles from various parts of England. Before leaving Amsterdam a letter was addressed to the burgomaster of Ley den representing that John Robinson, minister of the divine word, and some of the members of the Christian reformed religion, born in the kingdom of Great Britain, to the number of one hundred persons, or there- abouts, men and women, were desirous of going to live in that city, and to have the freedom thereof in carrying on their trades "without being a burden in the least to any one." This request, the records at Leyden say, was gralnted. It is probable that some members of the church remained in Amsterdam with Richard Clyfton, who it is known con- tinued his residence in that city until his death. Bradford's Dialogue, published in Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrims, states that, before 1620, accessions to the church had in- creased its number to about three hundred. Bradford says that the church of Johnson, before their division and breach, contained "about three hundred communicants," "and for the church in Leyden these were sometimes not much fewer in number, nor at all inferior in able men." Edward Winslow says also in his brief narrative, published in the Chronicles, in reference to the iinal departure from Leyden : " These things being agreed, the major part stayed and the pastor with them for the present, but all intended (except a few who had rather we would have stayed) to follow after. The minor part, with Mr. Brewster, their elder, resolved to enter upon this great work (but, take notice, the difference of num- ber was not great"). It is a matter of record that one PLYMOUTH COLONY. 3 hundred and twenty set sail from England in the Mayflower and Speedwell, and they being the " minor part," it is probable that one hundred and fifty or more remained. It is known also that one hundred and two finally sailed in the Mayflower, thirty-six in the Fortune in 1621, sixty in the little James and Anne in 1623, thirty-five with their families in the Mayflower in 1629, and sixty in the Handmaid in 1630, making in all three hundred, or more as the probable num- ber of the Pilgrim Church after twelve years' residence in Holland. Nor is it known what was the precise social condition in life of the Pilgrims. It is recorded at Ley den that William Bradford was a fustian maker (maker of cotton cloth), that Robert Cushman and William White were wool carders, Samuel Fuller and Stephen Tracy say (silk) makers, that John Jenney was a brewer's man, that Edward Winslow and William Brewster were printers, and that Degory Priest was a hatter, but these occupations throw little light on the sub- ject, as we know that Brewster and White and Winslow andl Cushman were educated men, and that the sacrifice of worldly possessions in escaping from ecclesiastical bondage imposes! on the Pilgrims the necessity of manual labor for the supp&rt of themselves and families. It is fair to presume, with all tte evidence before us, that the Pilgrim community in Ley^n was made up of members representing all the diflerent classes of English life, outside of the circle of noble families,, bojsaid together by a common religious faith regardless or tliwase differences in education and culture and social standing, which were insignificant indeed in comparison with theis real bond df union. It was doubtless this disregard of social dis- tinctions, forced on them by the necessities of their sitwation, which planted in their hearts that democratic seed, which at a later day germinated and grew in the soil of New England. It was the life of labor, too, led by them in Holland, which hardened their hands for the duties and hardships of a life in the wilderness, and which developed in their natures those 4 PLl'MOUTH COLONY. capacities for practical, economical, and thrifty work, without which their attempt at colonization would have been a failure. Thus Holland became a school in which they were shaping and preparing themselves for the gi-eat task before them. They sought it simply as a refuge from oppression, — as a home where thej' might live in peace and die in the faith they loved. But Providence had another refuge in store for them beyond the sea, which they were not to find until in com- parative comfort and ease thej' were fully weaned from those memories of home, which the perils and trials of New England life might render too seductive for the successful accomplishment of that great enterprise in the New World, in which in the inexorable progress of events it was destined that they should be the pioneers. Nor did the providential plan stop here. Holland itself seemed to have been prepared for their reception. The war between the United Provinces and Spain, which had been waged for more than tliirty years, was suspended for a season, and on the 19th of Aprilj 1609, a date almost identical with that of their arrival in Leyden, a tAvelve years' •truce was concluded. A period of peace and tranquillity fol- lowed, disturbed only in the last years of their residence on :Dutch soil by the acts of the Synod of Dort, which resulted in the execution of Enrneveldt and the imprisonment of .fCtrotius, the story of whose escape, as told by Motley, is as full of interest as the most stirring fiction or drama. Durinw ithis period the Pilgrims led tranquil but active lives, grad- mally dissolving the ties which bound them to their English iiomes, and at the same time softening and mellowino- their natures under the chastening influence of exile, and imbibino- fio much of that sweet and liberal spirit, which pervaded the life of their pastor, that no room was left in their hearts for that harshness and bigotry with which by the ignorant they have been credited, but from which their whole subsequent career, shaped and directed in obedience to histeachino-s, was always free. * I^TMOtTTH COLONY. 5 But the time was coining when they were destined to leave Holland. The freedom from molestation in their worship, which they were enjoying, — the happiness of themselves and families, which they had secured, — were an incomplete fruition of their aspirations and hopes. The twelve years' truce would soon be ended, and it was not unreasonably feared that a renewal of hostilities might result in the triumph of Catholic Spain, and a persecution of the little band more serious than any they had before encountered. There was danger, too, of their gradually losing theip identity among strange people with strange language and habits, with whom, like a river flowing to the sea, they might be merged and lost. But they had higher aims than merely the preservation of their identity. They believed that the Tiver, instead of flow- ing to the sea and being lost forever, might, in other lands, flow on with ever-increasing breadth and depth, and perhaps be a blessing, to the world. Having determined then to leave Leyden, — much to the regret of the city authorities, who publicly commended their peaceful ways and exemplary industry, — their place of destination became the subject of prolonged and serious discussion. New Amsterdam (New York) was urged by the Dutch ; Virginia, named after their virgin queen, and already colonized, was preferred hy some, and others still were tempted by the stories they had heard of Guiana with its fertile soil and perpetual spring. Virginia, however, was finally decided on, and, as early as September, 1617, arrangements were initiated for their departure. In that month John Carver and Kobert Cushman were sent to England for the double purpose of asking of the king freedom of worship for their colony in the New World, and of obtaining from the Virginia Company a patent of lands on which they might settle. It is the latter purpose with which our narra- tive is chiefly concerned. Of the former, it is only necessary to say that the request was made in vain. Jn the language of Bradford : " Thus far they prevailed in sounding His Majesty's mind, that he would connive at them and not 6 PLYMOUTH COLONY. molest them provided they carried themselves peaceably. But to allow or tolerate them by his public authority under his seal they found it would not be granted." In these unavailing negotiations they were assisted by Sir Edwin Sandys and Sir Kobert Naunton, the former a son of Arch- bishop Sandys, and the latter principal Secretary of State to the king. Sir Edwin was a brother of Sir Samuel Sandys, lessee of Scrooby Manor, which at an early day had been occupied by William Brewster, and it is not improbable that it was as a friend of Brewster that he rendered his services to the Pilgrims. His influence, however, with the king must have been small. Though, according to Hume, he was in Parliament, " a member of great authority," he was the leader of the party opposed to the ministry, and in 1621 was com- mitted to the Tower for an unwarranted exercise of the freedom of speech. Afterwards, as a prominent member of the Virginia Company and its treasurer and governor, chosen May 7, 1619, his services were more appreciable. The Virginia (Southern) Company was established in 1606. On the 16th of April in that year King James, by letters- patent, divided between two companies a strip of land, one hundred miles wide, along the Atlantic coast of North America, extending from the thirty-fourth to the forty-fifth degree of north latitude, a territory which then went under the name of Virginia. This territory extended from Cape Fear to Passamaquoddy Bay. The patent to the first or Southern Company, which seems to have appropriated the name of Virginia Company, was granted to certain knights, gentlemen, merchants, and adventurers of London, who were permitted to claim between the thirty-fourth and forty-first degrees, or between Cape Fear and a line running through Port Chester on Long Island Sound and the easterly comer of New Jersey on the Hudson. That to the second, or Northern Company, was granted to persons of the same description in Bristol, Exeter, and Plymouth, who might claim between the thirty-eighth and forty-fifth degrees, or PLYMOUTH COLOST. 7 between the southeastern corner of Mainland and Passama- quoddy Bay. That portion of the whole strip lying between the thirty-eighth and forty-first degrees, which was included in both patents, was to be granted to that company which should first occupy it, and it was specially provided that neither company should plant a colony within a hundred iniles of a settlement previously made by the other. The first company was that to which application was made by the Pilgrims through their agents, John Carver and Eobert Cush- man, in September, 1617. In November following, the agents returned to Holland, reporting the unfavorable disposi- tion of the king and the readiness of the Virginia Company to enter into negotiations concerning a patent. The fol- lowing letter, of which they were probably the bearers, written by Sir Edwin Sandys to John Kobinson and Wil- liam Brewster, at Leyden, and dated London, November 22, 1617, will show what progress was made in their nego- tiations : — "After my hearty salutations, — The agents of your congregation, Robert Cnshman and John Carver, have been in communication with divers select gentlemen of His Majesty's Council for Virginia ; and by the writing of seven articles, subscribed with your, names, have given them good degree of satisfaction, which hath carried them on with a resolution to set forward your desire in the best sort that may be for your own and the public good ; divers particulars whereof we leave to their faithful report, having carried themselves here with that good dis- cretion as is both to their own and their credit from whom they came. And whereas being to treat for a multitude of people they have requested further time to confer with them that are to be interested in this action about the several particulars, which in the prosecution thereof will fall out considerable, it hath been very willingly assented unto; and so they do now return unto you. If therefore it may please God so to direct your desires as that on your parts there fall out no just impediments, I trust by the same direction it shall likewise appear that on our parts all forwardness to set you forward shall be found in the best sort, which with reason may be expected. And so I betake you with this design (which I hope' verily is the work of God) to the gracious, protection and blessing of the Highest. Your very loving friend, Edwin Sandys." 8 PLnaouTH colont. Under date of Leyden, the 25th of December, 1617, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Brewster sent the following answer : — " Eight Worshipful. Our humble duties remembered, in our own, our messengers' and our church's name with all thankful acknowledgement of your singular love, expressing itself, as otherwise, so more especially in your great care and earnest endeavor of our good in this weighty business about Virginia, which the less able we are to requite, we shall think ourselves the more bound to commend in our prayers unto God for recompense ; whom as for the present you rightly behold in our endeavors, so shall we not be wanting on our parts, (the same God assisting us) to return all answer- able fruit and respect unto the labor of your love bestowed upon us. We have, with the best speed and consideration withal that we could, set down our requests in writing, subscribed, as you willed, with the hands of the greatest part of our congregation, and have sent the same unto the council by our agent, a deacon of our church, John Carver, unto whom we have also requested a gentleman of our Company to adyone himself; to the care and discretion of which two we do refer the pros- ecuting of the business. Now we persuade ourselves, right worshipful, that we need not to provoke your godly and loving mind to any further or more tender care of us, since you have pleased so far to interest us in yourself, that, under God, above all persons and things in the world, we rely upon you expecting the care of your love, the counsel of your wis- dom, and the help and countenance of your authority. Notwithstanding, for your encouragement in the work so far as probabilities may lead, we will not forbear to mention these instances of inducement. 1. We verily believe and trust the Lord is with us, unto whom and whose service we have given ourselves in many trials, and that he will graciously prosper our endeavors according to the simplicity of our hearts therein. 2. We are well weaned from the delicate milk of our mother country, and inured to the difficulties of a strange and hard land, which yet in great part, we have by patience overcome. 3. The people are, for the body of them, industrious and frugal, we think we may safely say, as any company of people in the world. 4. We are knit together as a body in a more strict and sacred bond and covenant of the Lord, of the violation whereof we make great con- science; and by virtue whereof we do hold oui-selves stoutly tied to all care of each other's good, and of the whole by eveiy, and so mutual. 5. And lastly, it is not with us as with other men, whom small things can discourage, or small discontentments cause to wish themselves at home again. We know our entertainment in England and Holland. We shall much prejudice both our ai-ts and means by removal; where if PLYMOUTH COLONY. 9 we should be driven to return, we should not hope to recover our pres- ent helps and comforts, neither indeed look ever to attain the like in any other place during our lives, which are now drawing towards their periods. These motives we have been bold to tender unto you, which you in your wisdom may also impart to any other our worshipful friends of the Council with you, of all whose godly dispositions and loving towards our despised persons we are most glad, and shall not fail by all good means to continue and increase the same. We shall not be further troublesome, but do, with the renewed remembrance of our humble duties to your worship, and (so far as in modesty we riiay be bold) to any other of our well-willers of the Council with you, we take our leaves, committing your persons and counsels to the guidance and pro- tection of the Almighty. Yours much bounden in duty, John Robinson, Wii-LiAM Bkewstek." This letter discloses the fact that after the return of Carver and Cushman to Holland, in November, Carver was again sent to England in December, to continue the negotiations. There is little reason to doubt that the gentleman of the company " requested to adyone himself" was Cushman, and that the embassy was the same as before, commissioned anew, after a conference with the Ley den congregation, to resume and com- plete its mission. For some unexplained reason the negotia- tions were still further delayed, and a letter from Robinson and Brewster to Sir John Wolstenholme, a member of the Virginia Company, dated February 6, 1618, followed by a letter to its writers from the messenger who bore it, dated the 24th of February following, shows that at the latter date the negotiations were still pending. Precisely when Carver and Cushman returned from their second mission is not known. It is certain, however, that they did return without accom- plishing its objects. After a longer or shorter interval a new embassy was sent, consisting of Eobert Cushman and William Brewster, commissioned, in the language of Bradford", " to end with the Virginia Company as well as they could, and to procure a patent with as good and ample conditions as they 10 PLYMOUTH OOLONT. mio-ht by any good means obtaine, as also to treat and con- clude with such merchants and other freinds as had mani- fested their forwardness to provoke too and adventure in this vioao-e. For which end they had instructions given them upon wnat conditions they should proceed with them, or els to conclude nothing without further advice." On the 18th of May, 1619, Robert Cushman, one of the .embassy, explained in a letter from London to his " loving friends " at Leyden the obstacles which still embarrassed them : — " I had thought," he wrote, " long since to have write unto you, but could not eflfecte that which I aimed at, neither can yet sett things as I wished; yet notwithstanding, I doubt not but Mr. B. (Brewster) hath written to Mr. Robinson. But I think my selfe bound also to doe some- thing, least I be thought to neglecte you. The maine hinderance of our proseedings in the Virginia business is the dissentions and factions, as they terme it, amogs the Counsell and Company of Virginia ; which are such, as that ever since we came up no busines could by them be dis- patched. The occasion of the trouble amongst them is, that a while since Sir Thomas Smith, repining at his many offices and troubls, wished the Company of Virginia to ease him of his office in being Treasurer and Governor of the Company. Wereupon the Company tooke occasion to dismisse him, and chose Sir Edwin Sands Treasurer and Governor of the Company. He having 60. voyces, Sir John Woss- tenholme 16. voyces, and Alderman Johnsone 24. But Sir Thomas Smith M'^hen he'saw some parte of his honour lost, was very angrie, and raised a faction to cavill and contend aboute the election, and sought to taxe Sir Edwin with many things that might both disgrace him, and allso put him by his office of Governoni-. In wliich contentions they yet stick, nnd are not fit nor readie to intermedle in any business ; and what issue things will come to we are not yet certaine. It is most like Sir Edwin will Carrie it away, and if he doe, things will goe Well in Virginia ; if otherwise, they will goe ill enough allways. We hope in some 2. or 3. Court days things will settle. Mean space I thinke to goe downe into Kento, and come up againe aboute 14. days or 3. weeks hence ; excepte either by these afforesaid contentions, or by the ille tidings from Vir- ginia, we be wholy discouraged, of which tidings I am now to speake. . , . Mr. B. (Brewster) is not well at this time; whether he will come back to you or goe into the north, I yet know not. For my selfe, I hope to see an end of this bussines ere I come, though I am sorie to be thus from you; if things had gone roundly forward, I should have been with you within these 14. days. I pi-ay God directe us, and give us that PLYMOUTH COLONY. 11 sph'ite which is fitting fcr such n, bnssines. Thus having stimarily pointed at things which Mr. Brewster (I thinke) hath more largely write of to Mr. Robinson, I leave you to the Lords protection. Yours in all readines etc EOBAUT CtJSIIMAN." The first line of this letter, "I had thought long since to have write unto you," would seem to indicate that Carver and Cushman had, at the date of the letter, been in England on this last mission a long time, certainly several months. But we know that Sir Edwin Sandys was chosen Treasurer and Governor of the Virginia Company on the 7th of May, 1619, and consequently the later statement in the letter, that " ever since we came up no business could be dispatched," on account of troubles in the company having their origin in his election, is conclusive that the embassy could not have been in England many weeks when the letter of Mr. Cushman was written, on the 18th of May. The affairs of the company appear, however, to have become soon settled, and on the 19th of June, 1619, a patent was issued. "By the advice of freinds (Bradford says) this pattente was not taken in the name of any of their owne, but in the name of Mr. John Wincob (a religious gentleman then belonging to the Countess of Lincoline), who intended to goe with them. But God so disposed as he never went, nor they even made use of this patente, which had cost|^hem so much labour and charge as by the sequel will appeare. This patente being sente over for them to veiw and consider, as also the passages aboute the propositions between them and such murchants and freinds as should either goe or adventure with them, and espetially with those on whom they did cheefly depend for shipping and means, whose proffers had been large, they were requested to fitt and prepare them- selves with all speed. A right emblime, it maybe, of the uncprtine things of this world; that when men have toyld themselves for them, they vanish into smoke." What became of this patent is not known, but as it was never used it is 12 PLYMOUTH COLONY. probable that it was returned to the Virginia Company. John "VYincob, or John "VVhincop, was one of three brothers, all clergj'men, and is supposed to have been a chaplain in the family of the Earl of Lincoln. It is probable that his interest in American colonization arose from his connection with a family intimately connected with Pilgiim and Puritan move- ments. Frances, sister of the earl, was the wife of John, son of Ferdinando Gorges ; Susan, another sister, was the wife of John Humphrey, the first Deputy-Governor of Massachusetts ; and Arbella, a third, was the wife of Isaac Johnson, and came to America with her husband in the Eagle, a ship belonging to the fleet of Winthrop, the name of which was changed to Arbella in her honor. On the 12th of February, 1620, another patent was issued in the name of John Pierce and his associates, which probably included a grant of land in the neighborhood of the Hudson River. There is little doubt that Pierce intended to come with the Pilgrims, as the.records of the. Virginia Company state, under date of February 20, 1620, eight days after the issue of the patent, that John Wolstonholme proposed that " the five hundred pounds which had heen anonymously' presented by some person signing himself 'dust and ashes ' for the ben- efit of Indian children in America should be expended under the direction of Mr. Pierce and his associates." The terms and conditions of this patent are unknown, but after the settlement of the Pilgrims outside of its limits it was probably surrendered. The records of the Virginia Company state, under date of the 26th of July, 1621, that "it was moved, seeing that Mr. John Pierce had taken a patent of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and therefore seated his company within the limits of the northern plantations, as by some was sup- posed, whereby he seemed to relinquish the benefit of the patent he took of this company, that therefore the said patent might be called in unless it might appear he would plant within the limits of the southern colony." . The Pierce patent of February 12, 1620, havino- been PLYMOUTH COLONY. 13 secnred, further arrangements were at once initiated for a final departure from Holland. About the time of the issue of the patent, negotiations were pending between Amsterdam merchants and Kobinson with a view to the removal of the Pilgrims to New Amsterdam. Mr. Charles Deane, the intel- ligent editor of Bradford's History, says in a note that " on the 22d of February, 1620, application was made on their behalf (the Pilgrims) to the Stadtholder by these merchants stating the conditions on which 'this English preacher at Leyden' and his associates would consent to colonize that country, namely, that they could be assured of the protection of the United Provinces ; and praying that such protection be granted, and that two ships-of-war be sent to secure, pro- visionally, the lands to that government. The Stadtholder referred the subject of this memorial to the States General, who, after repeated deliberations, resolved on the 21st of April to reject the prayer of the petitioners." While, how- ever, these negotiations were pending between Eobinson and the merchants, Bradford says that " one Mr. Thomas Weston, a merchant of London, came to Leyden (who was well ac- quainted with some of them and a furtherer of them in their former proceedings), haveing much conference with Mr. Eobinson and others of the cheefe of them persuaded them to goe on (as it seems) and not to medle with the Dutch or too much depend on the Virginia Company ; for if that failed, if they came to resolution, he and such marchants as were his freinds (togeather with their owne means) would sett them forth ; and they should make ready, and neither feare wante of shipping nor money ; for what they wanted should be pro- vided. And not so much for him selfe as for the satisfing of such freinds as he should procure to adventure in this bussines, they were to draw such articles of agreemente, and make such propossitions, as might the better induce his freinds to venture." Eobinson says also in a letter to Carver dated the 24th of June following, "You know right well we depended on Mr. Weston alone, and upon such means as he 14 PLYMOUTH COLONY. would procure for this commone bussines ; and -yhen we had in hand another course with the Dutchman, brpke it of at bis motion, and upon the conditions by him shortly after pro- pounded." These extracts tend to prove that the negotiations Avith the Amsterdam merchants were broken off by the ipilo-rims themselves before the decision of the States General was rendered. In accordance with the proposition of Mr. Weston, arti- cles were at once drawn up and agreed to by him and the Pilgrims. Mr. Weston returned to England, and Carver and Cushman followed to receive money subscribed by him and his associates, " both for shiping and other things for the vioage ; with this charge not to exseede their commission, but to proseed according to their former articles." Mr. Weston and his associates have been known in history as " the Merchant Adventurers." Little is known of them, and their nkmes even have not been preserved. Captain John Smith, writing in 1624, says that "the adventurers which raised the stock to begin and supply this plantation, were about seventy, some gentlemen, some merchants, some handicraftsmen, some adventuring great sums, some small, as their estates and 'affection served. These dwell most in London. They are not a corporation, but knit together by a voluntary combina^ tion in a society without restraint or penalty, aiming to do good and to plant religion." The following, however, is a later list, comprising those who subscribed an agreement made with the Plymouth Colony, November 25, 1626 : — Robert Allden. Thomas Coventry. John King. Emnu Alltham. Thomas Fletcher. Eliza Knight. Richard Andrews. Thomas Goffe. John Knight. Thomas Andrews. Peter Gudburn. Myles Knowles. Lawrence Anthony. Timothy Hatherly. Tliomas Millsop. Edward Bass. Thomas Heath. Thomas Mott. John Beauchamp. William Hobson. Fria Newbald. Thomas Brewer. Robert Holl.and. William Pennington. Heniy Browning. Thomas Hudson. William Penrin. William Collier. Robert Kean. John Pocook, PLYMOUTH COLONY. 15 Daniel Pointer. Samuel Sharp. Joseph Tilden. William Qnarles. James Shirley. Thomas Ward. John Revell. John Thornell. John White. Newman Rooks. Matthew Thornhill. Richard Wright. It is probable that most of those whose names are borne on this hst were numbered among the adventm-ers in 1620, and that, besides many unknown names, those certainly of Thomas Weston, who left them, however, before 1622, Wm. Greene, and Edward Pickering, must be added to make the original list complete. Of these it is known that William Collier and Timothy Hatherly and John Revell finally came to New England, the last, however, to return, and that per- sons bearing the names of Thomas Andrews, Thomas Brewer, Henry Browning, John Knight, Samuel Sharp, Thomas Ward, and John White became permanent settlers here before 1640. It is probable that Thomas Brewer was the member of the Leyden University who assisted Brewster in the publication of books prohibited in England, and who was arrested by Sir Dudley Carleton, English ambassador at the Hague, by order of King James. The articles of agreement concluded with the Adventurers were as follows : — " 1. The adventurers and planters do agree, that every person that goeth, being aged sixteen years and upward, be rated at ten pounds, and ten pounds to be accounted a single share. 2. That he that goeth in person, and furnisheth himself out with ten pounds, either in money or other provisions, be accounted as having twenty pounds in stock, and in the division shall receive a double share. 3. The persons transported and the adventurers shall continue their joint stock and partnership together the space of seven years, (except some Unexpected impediments do cause tlie whole company to agree otherwise,) during which time .all profits and benefits that are got, by trade, traffic, trucking, working, fisliing, or any other means, of any per- son or persons, shall remain still in the common stock until the division. 4. That at their coming there they choose out such a number of fit persons as may furnish their ships and boats for fishing upon the sea ; employing the rest in their several faculties upon the land, as building houses, tilling and planting the ground, and making such commodities as shall be most useful for the colony. 16 PLYMOUTH COLONY. 5. That at the end of the seven years, the capital and profits, viz., the houses, lands, goods, and chattels, be equally divided among the adventurers and planters; which done, every man shall be free from other of them of any debt or detrimente concerning the adventure. 6. Whosoever eometh to the colony liereafter, or putteth any mto the stoclf, shall at the end of the seven years be allowed proportionally to the time of his so doing. 7. He that shall carry his wife and children or servants shall be allowed for every person now aged 16. years and upward, a single share in the division; or if he provide them necessaries, a double share, or if they be between 10. years old and 16. then two of them to be reckoned for a person, both in transportation and division. 8. That such children as now go and are under the age of ten years, have no other share in the division, but 60 acres of unmanured land. 9. That such persons as die before the seven years be expired, their executors to have their parte or share at the division, proportionally to the time of their life in the Colony. 10. That all such persons as are of this Colony are to have their meat, drink, apparel and all provisions out of the common stock and goods of the said Colony." These, however, were not the articles originally agreed upon by Weston and the Pilgrims at Leyden. Those articles provided, in the language of Bradford, "that the houses and lands improved, espetialy gardens and home lotts should remaine undevided wholy to the planters at the 7 . years end and that they should have had 2. days in a weeke for their owne private imploymente, for the more comforte of them- selves and their families, espetialy such as had families." The changes were made in England in conformity with the determined wishes of the adventurers, and acceded to with- out authority by either Carver or Cushman, or both, on be- half of the Pilgrims. Bradford says, "that now another dif- ficultie arose, for Mr. Weston and some other that were for this course, either for their better advantage or rather for the drawing on of others, as they pretended, would have some of those conditions altered that were first agi-eed on at Ley- den. To which the 2. agents sent from Leyden (or at least one of them who is most charged with it) did consente ; seeing els that all was like to be dashte and the opportunitie PLYMOUTH COLONY. 17 lost-, and that they ■which had put of their estats and paid in their moneys were in hazard to be undon. They presumed to conclude with the marchants on those termes, in some things contrary to their order and commission, and without giving them notice of the same ; yea it was conceled least it should make any furder delay; which was the cause after- ward of much trouble and contention." Eobinson, in a letter to John Carver, then in England, dated June 14, 1620, new style, says; "Mr. Weston makes himselfe mery with our endeavors about buying a ship, but we have done nothing in this but with good reason, as I am perswaded, nor yet that I know in anything els, save in those two ; the one that we employed Eobart Cushman, who is known (though a good man and' of spetiall obilities in his kind yet) most unfitt to deale with other men, by reason of his singularitie, and too great indifferancie for any conditions and for (to speak truly) that we have had nothing from him but termes and presump- tions. The other that we have so much relyed by implicite faith as it were, upon generalities without seeing the pertic- uler course and means for so waghtie an affaire set down unto us." In a letter, too, written jointly by Samuel Fuller, Edward Winslow, William Brewster, and Isaac Allerton, to Carver and Cushman, dated June 20, they say : " For the former whereof whereas Robart Cushman desirs reasons for our dis- like, promising thereupon to alter the same, or els saing we should thinke he hath no brains, we desire him to exercise them therein, refering him to our pastors former reasons, and them to the censure of the godly wise. But our desires are that you will not entangle yourselvs and us in afiy such unreasonable courses as those are, viz. that the marchants should have the halfe of mens houses and lands at the divi- dente ; and that persons should be deprived of the 2. dajj^s in a weeke agreed upon, yea every momente of time for their owne perticuler ; by reason whereof we cannot conceive why any should carie servants for their owne help and comfort; 18; PLYMOUTH COLOKT. for that we can require no more of them than all men one of another. This we have only by relation from Mr. Nash and not from any writing of your owne and therefore hope you have not proceeded far in so great a thing without us. But requiring you not to exseed the bounds of your commission, which were to proceed upon the things on conditions agred Upon and expressed in writing (at your going over about it), we leave it, not without marveling, that your selfe, as you write, knowing how smale a thing troubleth our consulta- tions, and how few, as you fear, understands the busnes aright should trouble us with such matters as these are." But these complaints of the act of Cushman should not be stated without his defence. In a letter without date he thus writes : — " Brethren I understand by letters and passages that have come to me, that there are great discontents, and dislike of my proceedings amongst you. Sorie I am to hear it, yet contente to beare it, as not doubting but that partly by writing and more principally by word when we shall have come togeather, I shall satisfle any reasonable man. I have been perawaded by some, espetialy this bearer, to come and clear things unto you ; but as things now stands I cannot be absente one day, excepte I should hazard all the viage. Neither conceive I any great good would come of it. Talie then, brethren, this as a step to give you contente. First, for your dislilce of the alteration of one clause in the conditions, if you conceive it right, there can be no blame lye on me at all. For the articles first brought over by John Carver were never seene of any of the adventurers hear, excepte Mr. Weston, neither did any of them like them because of that clause ; nor Mr. Weston him selfe, after he had well considered it. But as at the first there was 500. pounds withdrawne by Sir George Farrer and his brother upon that dislike, so all the rest would have withdrawne (Mr. Weston excepted) if we had not altered the clause. Now whilst we at Leyden conclude upon points, as we did, we reckoned without our host, which was not my falte. Be- sides, I shewed you by a letter the equitie of the condition and our inconveniencies, that without the alteration of that cLause, we could neither liave means to gett thither, nor supplie wherby to subsiste when we were there. Yet notwithstanding ,all those reasons, which were not mine, but other mens wiser then my selfe, without answer to any one of them, here cometh over many qnirimonies, and complaints against me, of lording it over my brethren, and making conditions fitter for theeves PLYMOUTH COLONY. 19 and bond-slaves then honest men, and that of my owne head I did what I list. And at last a paper of reasons, framed against the clause in the conditions, which as they were delivered me open, so my answer is open to you all. And first as they are no other hut inconveniences, such as a man might frame 20. as great on the other side, and yet prove nor disprove nothing by them, so they misse and mistake both the very ground of the article and nature of the project. For, first it is said, that if ther had been no division of houses and lands, it had been better for the poore. True, and that showeth the inequalitie of the condition ; we should more respecte him that ventureth both his money and his person, then him that ventureth but his person only. 2. Consider wheraboute we are, not giveing almes, but furnishing a storehouse ; no one shall be porer than another for 7. years, and if any be rich, none can be pore. At the least, we must not in such bussines crie. Pore, pore, mercie, mercie. Charitie hath its life in wraks not in ventures; yon are by this most in a hopefull pitie pf makeing, therefore coniplaine not before you have need. 3. This will hinder the building of good and faire houses, contrarie to the advice of pollitiks. A. So we would have it; our purpose is to build for the presente such houses as, if need be, we may with litle greefe set a fire, and rune away by the lighte ; our riches shall not be in pompe, but in strenght; if God send us riches, we will imploye them to provid more men, ships, munition &c. You may see it amongst the best polli- tiks, that a comonwele is readier to ebe than to flow, when once fine houses and gay cloaths come up. 4. The Government may prevente excess in building. A. But if it bo on all men beforehand resolved on, to build mean houses, the Govern- ment laboure is spared. 5. All men are not of one condition. A. If by condition you mean wealth, you are mistaken ; if you mean by condition qualities, then I say he that is not contente his neighbor shall have as good a house, fare, means &c as himselfe, is not of a good qualitie. 2.1y. Such retired persons, as have an eie only to themselves, are fitter come wher catching is, then closing; and are fitter to live alone, then in any sooietie, either civill or religious. 6. It will be of little v.-ilue, scarce worth 5. pounds. A. True, it may be not worth half 5 pounds. If then so smale a thing will content them, why strive we thus aboute it, and give them occasion to suspecte us to be worldly and covetous? I will not say what I have heard since these complaints came fii'st over. 7. Our freinds with us that adventure mind not their owne profite, as did the old adventurers. A. Then they are better than we, who for a litle matter of profite are readie to draw back, and it is more apparente brethren looke to it, that make profite your maine end ; repent of this, 20 PLYMOUTH COLONT. els goe not least you be like Jonas to Tarshis. 2.1y. Though some of them mind not their proflte yet others doe mind it; and why not as well as weP ventars are made by all sorts of men, and we must labour to give them all contente if we can. 8. It will break the course of comunitie, as may be showed by many reasons. A. That is but said, and I say againe, it will best foster comunion, as may be showed by many reasons. 9. Great proflte is like to be made by trucking, fishing i&o. A. As it is better for them, so for us ; for halfe is ours, besids our living still upon it, and if such proflte in that way come, our labour shall be the less on the land, and our houses and lands must and will be of less value. 10. Our hazard is greater than theirs. A. True but doe they put us upon it? doe they urge or egg us? hath not the motion and resolution been always in our selves? doe they any more then in seeing us resolute if w« had means, help us to means upon equall termes and conditions? If we will not goe, they are contente to keep their moneys. Thus I have pointed at a way to loose those knots, which I hope you will con- sider seriously, and let me have no more stirre about them. Now fnr- der"I hear a noise of slavish conditions by me made ; but surly this is all that I have altered, and reasons I have sent you. If you mean it of the 2- .days in a week for perticuler, as some insinuate, you are deceived ; you may have 3. days in a week for me if you will. And when I have spoken to the adventurers of times of working, they have said they hope w€ar©-me««f discretion and conscience, and so fltte to be trusted our selves with that. But indeed the ground of our proceedings at Leyden was mistaken, and so here is nothing but tottering eveiy day &c. As for them of Amsterdam I had thought they would as soone have gone to Rome as with us ; for our libertie is to them as ratts bane, and their riggour as bad to us as the Spanish Inquisition. If any practise of mine discourage them, let them yet draw back; I will undertake they shall have their money again presently paid hear. Or, if the compahy thinke m« to be the Jonas, let them cast me of before we goe ; I shall be content to stay with good will, having but the cloaths on my back ; only let us have quietness, and no more of these clamors: full litle did I expecte these things which are now come to pass &c. Yours R. CuSHMAN." It is evident that the alteration of the articles of agree- ment, for which Cushman was mainly responsible, created great dissatisfaction. In the light of to-day, however, the only verdict which can be rendered is, that he acted wisely ; for, with the articles unchanged, the whole enterprise of the Pilgrims would have fallen through, and the current of events PLYMOUTH COLONY. 21 which has resulted in the establishment of a great and free republic on these western shores would have been seriously diverted, if not wholly checked. It is not strange, with the unpleasant feeling entertained towards him by his associates, that Cushman remained behind, and abandoned, at least tem- porarily, the undertaking in which he had acted so prominent a part and taken so deep an interest. By the 11th of June, however, everything was in readi- ness. Those of the Ley den company who were going to New England had sold their estates, putting their money into the common stock ; the agents of the company in England had hired the Speedwell, of sixtj' tons, and sent her to Delft- haven, to convey the colonists to Southampton, and the May- flower, of one hundred and eighty tons, had been engaged to meet them at that place, and join her consort for the voyage. On the 31st of July, in the language of Bradford, " they left the goodly and pleasant citie which had been their resting place near 12. years; but they knew they were pilgrimes, and looked not much on those things but lift up their eyes to the heavens, their dearest countrie, and quieted their spirits." The story of their voyage is a familiar one. On or about the 1st of August they set sail in the Speedwell from Delft- haven, and on the 15th both the Mayflow;er and Speedwell, with one hundred and twenty passengers on board, some of whom were for the first time joining the company, sailed from Southampton. On the 23d they put into Dartmouth, with the Speedwell leaking, and on the 31st sailed again. Further disasters to the Speedwell obliged a return to Ply- mouth, where the Speedwell was abandoned, and eighteen passengers, including Eobert Cushman, gave up the voyage. On the 16th of September, a final departure from Plymouth took place, and on the 21st of November, after a passage of sixty-six days, the Mayflower dropped anchor in Cape Cod harbor. Like the down of the thistle they were wafted across the sea, and the seed they bore of popular govern- ment and religious freedom was planted on these western 22 PLYMOUTH COLONY. shores. How striking is the contrast between the voyages of Carver and Winthrop ! The Plymouth colonists, hunted and imprisoned like felons, and glad to escape by artifice and stealth into Holland, finally embarked for America, unknown, unhonored, and unsung. The Massachusetts colonists set out in grand array, filling a fleet of eleven ships, the admiral of the fleet, the Arbella, carrying fifty-two seamen and twenty pieces of ordnance, and as they sailed by the fort at Yarmouth they were saluted by its royal guns as adventurers whose enterprise, under the broad seal of the king, would reflect honor and renown on the British empire. If the Mayflower had sunk in mid-ocean with her living freight, the incident would never have reached the page of history. The loss of the Arbella, with her sister ships, would have been a disaster as sad to the nation as the loss of the Armada, less than half a century before, had been joyful and happy. While the company were at Southampton two letters were received from Robinson. One addressed to Carver, dated August 6, was as follows : — " My Deak Bkotiier, — I have received enclosed in your last l.eter the note of information, which I shall carefully keepe and make use of as ther shall be occasion. I have a true feeling of your perplexitie of mind and toyle of body, but I hope that you who have allways been able so plentifully to administer comforte unto others in their trials, are so well furnished for your selfe as that fan- greater difficulties than you have yet undergone (though I conceive them to have ben great enough) cannot oppresse you, though they press you as the apostle speaks. The spirite of a man (sustained by the spirite of God) will sustaine his infirmitie, I dout not so will yours. And the beter much when you shall enjoye. the presence and help of so many godly and wise brethren, for the bearing of part of your burthen, who also will not admitte into their hearts the least thought of suspicion of any the least negligence, at least presump- tion, to have been in you, what so ever they thinke in others. Now what shall I say or write unto you and your goodwife my lovinf sister? even only this, I desire (and allways shall) unto you from the Lord, as unto my owne soule ; and assure your selfe that my harte is with you, and that I will not forslowe my bodily coming at the fli-st opportunitie. I have writen a large loter to the whole, and am sorie I shall not rather speak than write to them ; and the more, considering the wante of a PLTMOUTH COLONT. 23 preacher, which I shall also make sume spurr to my hastem'ng after you. I doe even comend my best affection unto yon, which if I thought you made any doubte of, I would express in more, and the same more ample and full words. And the Lord in whom you trust and whom you serve even in this bussines and journey, guid you with his hand, protecte you with his winge, and shew yon and us his salvation in the end, and bring us in the mean while togeather in the place desired, if shuch be his good will, for his Christs sake. Amen. Yours &c Jsro R " This letter, aside from its sweet and loving spirit, is sig- nificant as indicating that Carver was then occupying a post of authority, having probably been already chosen governor, an office in which he was confirmed at a later day, after the arrival of the Mayflower and the signing of the compact. The record of Bradford states that " a Governor and two or three assistants for each shipe " were chosen " to order the people by the way, and see to the disposing of their pos- sessions and shuch like affairs." It is fair to presume that Carver was chosen governor of the party on board of the Mayflower, and that after the detachment of the Speed- well he was recognized as the governor of the whole com- pany. His letter is further significant as being addressed to "My dear Brother," and as alluding to the goodwife of Carver as "my loving sister." If,. as may be reasonably sup- posed, this endearing appellation implies something more than a sisterhood and brotherhood in the church, it discloses what has been until now unsuspected, that the wife of Car- ver was Catherine Robinson, sister of the Pilgrim pastor. The other letter from Robinson was addressed to his " lovinge Christian friends," the whole company. Full of advice as to the spirit which should characterize them in their undertaking, he thus alludes to what more especially concerns this narra- tive : " Lastly, wheras you are become a. body politik, using amongst youi'selves civill govemmente, and- are not furnished with any persons of spetiall eminence above the rest, to be chosen by j'ou, into office of government, let your wisdome and godlines appeare, not only in chusing shuch persons as 24 PLYMOUTH COLONY. doe entirely love and will promote the comone good, but also in yeelding unto them all due honour and obedience in their lawfuU administrations; not behoulding in them the ordinarinesse of their persons, but Gods ordinance for your good, not being like the foolish multitud who more honour the gay coate, then either the vertuous minde of the man, or glorious ordinance of the Lord." With one hundred and two passengers the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth. Of these William Butten, called a servant of Samuel Fuller, died at sea ; but as Oceanus, son of Stephen Hopkins, was bom on the passage, the original number was kept good. The following, taken from Bradford's history, is a correct list of the passengers arriv- ing in Cape Cod harbor, and shows the subsequent fate of each : — John Carver, Died in April, 1620.

Of the survivors remaining in the country, the average length of life after the arrival was more than thirty-seven years. It is evident that if the extreme exposure of wading to the shore at Provincetown in wintry weather had been avoided, and the arrival at Plymouth been two months earlier, the health and longevity of the colonists in the wilderness would have been more marked than even those of New Ena-land life to-day Avith all the comforts of its extreme civilization. On the 21st of December an exploring party in the shallop of the Mayflower landed on Plymouth Rock, and on the 26th the Mayflower dropped her anchor in the harbor of Plymouth. It is probable that her anchorage was not, as has been supposed, and as has always been represented in pictures of the scene, at the end of the beach in what has long been known as the cow-yard, but in the channel directly opposite to the town, a spot thoroughly sheltered from the waves and winds of the ocean. The record states that the shallop party sounded the harbor, and if so they must have discovered this channel, which is now, and has always, even at the lowest stage of the tide, been traversed and used as an anchorage by larger vessels than the Mayflower. Nor are we left in this matter wholly to conjecture. De Rasieres, in October, 1627, was despatched on an embassy from New Amsterdam to the Plymouth Colony. In a letter to Mr. Samuel Blommaert, one of the directors of the West India Company, written after his return to Holland, he describes' the town of Plymouth, and says : " Directly before the com- menced town lies a sand-bank, about twenty paces broad, whereon the sea breaks violently with an easterly and north- easterly wind ; on the north side there lies a small island, where one must run close along in order to come before the town ; then the ships run behind that bank, and lie in a very 28 PLYMOUTH COLONY. good roadstead." And Mourt's Eelation further states : "For our ship drew so much water that she lay a mile and almost a half off, though a ship of seventy or eighty tons, at high water, may come to the shore." The beach directly opposite to the town is nearly a mile and a half distant, while the cow- yard, according to the measurements of the coast survey, is more than two miles. It is reasonable to suppose that the Mayflower initiated the practice prevailing when De Easieres wrote in 1627, and that a safe and convenient anchorage near the town would have been preferred to a more distant one exposed to easterly gales and involving serious dangers to boats loaded with passengers and freight in their frequent trips to and from the land. Various reasons have been given for the abandonment by the Pilgrims of the territory of the Southern Virginia Com- pany, whose patent they held, such as the difficult navigation in Vineyard Sound, and the bribery of the captain by the Dutch. One circumstance, however, has never been alluded to as having had any bearing on the intended voyage. It is well known that in 1619 Thomas Dermer, sent out by Sir Ferdinando Gorges on a voyage of discovery, visited Plymouth, and in a letter, dated July 9, 1620, written to his patron, he said, in speaking of that place : " I would that the first plantation might here be seated, if there come to the number of fifty persons or upwards." Had the letter been sent to England soon after its date, it would have arrived at Plymouth, of which Sir Ferdinando was governor, and which was the last port of departure of the Mayflower, while the Pil- gi-ims were making their final preparations for their voyage, and, having come to the knowledge of the captain or pilot or passengers, may have had some influence in determining the place of settlement. The language of the compact, too, " we whose names are underwritten, having undertaken for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith and the honor of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia," seems to deepen the PLYMOUTH COLONY. 29 mystery concerning the supposed deviation from the intended Yoyage. At that time Plymouth was within the limits of the Northern Virginia Company so far as the Pilgrims knew, and was, therefore, correctly described in the compact as in the northern parts of Virginia. It was not until November, 1620, while the Mayflower was on her passage that by new letters-patent the Northern Company was changed to "the President and Council of New England," or the Plymouth Company. It is worthy of consideration then whether there was really any wholly unexpected deviation, and whether Plymouth was not, regardless of the patent they held, within the general scope of their voyage. This suggestion derives additional importance from the language of Bradford, who as one of the leaders of the company, would have been well aware of any serious change in their destination. "Having reached Cape Cod," he says, "after some deliberation had amongst themselves and with the master of the ship, they tacked about and resolved to stand for the southward, the wind and weather being fair, to find some place about Hudson's river for their habitation. But after they had sailed the course about half the day, they fell amongst dangerous shoals and roaring breakers, and they were so far entangled therewith as they conceived themselves in great danger ; and the wind shrinking upon them withall, they resolved to bear up again for the Cape, and thought themselves happy to get out of these dangers before night overtook them, as by God's Providence they did." There seems to be a plain indication here of doubt as to a landing-place, but, "the wind being fair," it was then decided to seek some place near the Hudson. There is not a word about any deviation from the contem- plated route, nor a word expressive of disappointment at not being able to carry out their original plan. If they had the patent issued to John Pierce, it is by no means certain that they were relying on its provisions for their guidance and protection. It is worthy also of consideration that the Virginia Company in their vote passed in July, 1621, already 30 PLYMOUTH COLONT. quoted, c£),lling on Pierce to surrender his patent, gave, as a reason, the fact that he had " seated his company within the limits of the northern plantations as by some was supposed." The words " as by some was supposed," can bear no other construction than " as by some it was supposed he would," and serve to reinforce the suggestion that a landing in New England, and a settlement on lands for which they could sub- sequently secure a patented grant from a company which, before their departure from England, had within their ascer- tained knoAvledge applied for a new charter from the king, were among the possibilities of their enterprise. The suggestion that Captain Jones, of the Mayflower, had been bribed by the Dutch, was first made by Morton, in his Memorial, published in 1669, and has never received credit among historians. Morton says, " Of the plot between the Dutch and Mr. Jones I have had late and certain intelli- gence." The wonder has been often expressed how it Avas possible, after the silence of Winslow and Bradford on the sub- ject, that recent information could have reached Morton forty- nine years after the landing. But there was a hidden chan- nel coming for the fii'st time to the surface while the Memo- rial was in preparation, through which some story might have come down suggesting the statement of Morton. In 1664 Thomas Willet, of Plymouth, joined the expedition of the United Colonies against the Dutch, and on the surrender in that year of New York to the English was made its first mayor. After a short service in that capacity he retui-ned to Plymouth, and the result of such examination into the Dutch archives as he might have made while mayor, he could have communicated to Morton as " late and certain intelligence." Nor were the antecedents of Jones of such a character as to render his complicity in such a scheme improbable. In 1617, as is learned from the investigations of Eev. E. D. Neill, for some years United States consul at Dublin, the coming Earl of Warwick sent two ships to the East Indies, one of which was the Lion, commanded by Captain Thomas PLYMOUTH COLONY. 31 Jones. Shortly after Martin Pring, having been sent out in the Koyal James to suppress buccaneering, captured the Lion in piratical pursuit of a junk. Jones was sent home, but released by the intercession of the earl. In January, 1620, new style, the East India Company complained of him for hiring away their men for the Danish service, and he was again released through the influence of Warwick, on the ground that he was engaged to take a cargo of cattle to Vir- ginia. In February he sailed thither in the Falcon, of fifty tons, Avith thirty-six passengers, four mares, and fifty-two kine. He returned to England in season to take charge of the Mayflower, arriving home from Plymouth May 16, 1621. In the latter part of that year he went again to Virginia in the Discovery, of sixty tons", traflicking along the coast, and was complained of by the Council for New England for rob- bing the natives. In 1622, on his way home, he stopped at Plymouth, and took advantage of the distress of the colony by the charge of extortionate prices for supplies. In July, 1625, he appeared again in Virginia, in possession of a Spanish frigate, thought to have been captured in one of his buccaneering enterprises, but died before any investigation could be had. But the history of the Dutch settlement at New Amsterdam ofiers almost conclusive evidence that no attempt at bribery, such as is charged by Morton, could have been made. The death of Barneveldt and the exile of Gro- tius, leaders of the conservative party which had opposed the organization of the Dutch West India Company, under whose auspices the settlement on the Hudson by the Dutch was to be made, removed all opposition, and one of the first prop- ositions in anticipation of a charter was for the Pilgrims to establish a colony under their auspices. And after the charter of the company was granted, among the first to take advan- tage of its liberal provisions were French emigrants, a people as foreign to the Dutch as the Pilgrim exiles of Holland. The only existing doubt then is, whether, alone in obedience to the storms and shoals of a dangerous coast, or partly in 32 PLYMOUTH COLONY. accordance with a half-formed plan, Plymouth became their final resting-place. This, however, is certain, that the hand of Providence, by a devastating pestilence, had prepared the spot for their reception, and left no Indian foe to meet them on the shore and dispute their rightful possession.

Early Voyages to New England. — Champlain. — John Smith. — Thomas Dermer. — Treaty with Massasoit. — Patent of 1621. — Land Grants. — Old Colony Patent. — Settlement with the Adventurers. — Further Land Grants. The spot selected by the Pilgrims for a permanent settle- ment was not unknown to Europeans. As early as the reign of Edward VI. mariners from England were engaged in the Newfoundland fisheries ; and before the opening of the seventeenth century more than three hundred English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French vessels went home annually, laden with the treasures of the sea, from the American coast. It is not improbable that by many of these the shores of New England had been repeatedly explored. Of those who had been led by the spirit of adventure to sail along the coast, more than one had visited Plymouth itself. Verazzano had doubtless passed it, and Gosnold after him, in 1602, giving the name as he sailed to Cape Cod, along whose shores he took abundance of fish, and in one of whose harbors he landed, the first Englishman who is known to have stepped on the soil of Massachusetts. Martin Pring followed, in 1603, the footsteps of Gosnold, leaving the bay of Plymouth far out of siffht as he steered from what is now the coast of Maine to the waters of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Nor did "Waymouth in 1605 enter the bay. In his voyage across the Atlantic, making his landfall at Nantucket, he steered north for the coast of Maine, and returned to England after a fruit- less expedition. To a French explorer is due, so far as is known, the discovery of Plymouth. In 1603, Sieur de a4 PLYMOUTH COliONT. Monts, a conspicuous member of the Protestant party in France, obtained from King Henry IV. a patent for the principality of Acadie, defined as the American coast from the fortieth to the forty-sixth degree of north latitude, or from a little north of Barnegat, on the New Jersey coast, to a line running through the middle of Cape Breton, with provisions for the government of the country and the control of trade within those limits. French discovery was relied on to establish a claim to this territory, which might either have been lost to the English, or secured only against serious opposition, had not the first attempt of French enterprise to utilize it proved a failure. On the 17th of April, 1604, De Monts set sail with four vessels from Havre de Grace, -with Sieur de Champlain for his pilot. In 1613 Champlain published in Paris an account of the voyage, illustrated with charts of the various coasts and harbors which he visited. After exploring the coast of Nova Scotia, he proceeded to Massachusetts, and thus describes his visit to Plymouth, which he called Port St. Louis : — " The next day (July 28, 1605) wo doubled Cape St. Louis (Branches Island) so named by Sieur de Monts a land rather low and in latitude 42° 45'. The s.ame day we sailed two leagues along a sandy coast ; as we passed along which we saw a great many cabins and gardens. The wind being contrary we entered a little bay to await a time favorable for proceeding. There came to us two or three canoes which had just been fishing for cod and other fish, which are found there in large numbers. These they catch with hooks made of a piece of wood, to wliich they attach a bone in the shape of a spear, and fasten it -very securely. The whole hfis a ,f«,ng-shape, and the line attached to it is made out of the bark of a tree. The bone is fastened on by hemp, and they told me that they gathered this plant without being obliged to cultivate it, and indicated that it grew to the height of four or five feet. Some of them came to us and begged us to go to their river. We weighed anchor to do so, but were unable to enter on account of the small amount of water, it being low tide, and were accordingly obliged to anchor at the mouth. I made an examination of the river, but saw only an arm of water extending a short disbxnce inland, where the land is only in part cleared np. Running into this is merelv a brook not deep enough for boats except at full tide. The circuit of the bay is about a PLYMOUTH COLONY. 35 league. On one side of the entraiice to this bay tliere is a point (Gurnet) which is almost an island, covered with wood, principally pines, and adjoins sand-banlis which are very extensive. On the other side the land is high. There are two islets in the harbor (Clark's Island and Saquish) which are not seen until one has entered and around wliinh it is almost entirely dry at low water. This place is very conspicuous, for the coast is very low, excepting the cape at the entrance to the bay. AVe named it the Port du Cap St. Louis, distant two leagues from the above cape and ten from the Island Cape (Cape Anne)." Champlain's map of Plymouth bay and harbor is exceed- ingly interesting as a competent witness to the condition of these shores and islands two hundred and seventy-seven years ago. It throws special light on three questions on which heretofore only the uncertain rays of tradition have been shed ; it dissipates the popular belief that Brown's Shoal was ever an island; it shows that Plymouth Beach was once wooded, and that Saquish was detached from the Gurnet peninsula and was once an island. The river referred to in the description was doubtless the harbor, and the brook running into it, which appears on the map to be its continua- tion, was the town brook, which in early days, without the causeway and dam now crossing its mouth, opened into the harbor, with a widening channel and receding shores. The voyage of De Monts and Champlain was little known by the general reader until 1878, when Champlain's history was translated by Mr. Charles Pomeroy Otis, and published by the Prince Society of Boston, under the intelligent editor- ship of Eev. Edmund F. Slafter. The map of Champlain which precedes this narrative was taken by permission from this valuable publication. Our school-books and maps have laid down Cape Malabar on the eastern shore of Cape Cod ; but our schoolboys and our sailors have for years repeated its name without knowing that it is the Malle-Barre of Champlain, and the only monument left on our coast to remind us of his voyage. In 1609 Henry Hudson, in the service of the Dutch East India Company, sailed along the coast of Massachusetts, but, 36 PLYMOUTH COLONr. though he landed on Cape Cod, he failed to enter the bay. So far as history informs us John Smith was the next Euro- pean after Champlain to visit Plymouth. After his expedi- tion to Virginia, in 1606, in the service of the Southern Virginia, or London Company, and some years' connection with the Virginia colony, he returned to England, and in 1614 sailed with two ships, under the auspices of certain private adventurers, as he says in his narrative, "to take whales and also to make trials of a mine of gold and cop- per." Arriving at Monhegan, near the mouth of the Penob- scot, he anchorbd his vessels, and sailed with eight men in a shallop along the coast as far as Cape Cod, giving the name of New England to the country, and " drawing a map from point to point, isle to isle, and harbor to harbor, with the soundings, sands, rocks, and landmarks." After his return to England he submitted a copy of his map to Prince Charles, afterwards Charles I., who attached names to many places on the coast. Of these only Plymouth, Charles River, named after himself, and Cape Anne, after Anne of Denmark, his mother, still adhere to the localities they then designated. Among the many names affixed to the map by Charles were Cape James for Cape Cod, Milford Haven for Provincetown Harbor, Stuards Bay for Barnstable Bay, Point George for Brant Point, Oxford for Marshfield, London for Cohasset, Cheviot Hills for the Blue Hills, Tal- bott's Bay for Gloucester Harbor, and Dartmouth, Sandwich, and Cambridge for places near Portland. In 1619 Captain Thomas Dermer, Avho had been one of Smith's lieutenants, was again despatched by Sir Ferdinando Gorges on account of the Northern Virginia or Plymouth Company. He brought with him Squanto, or Tisquantum, a native, carried away by Captain Hunt, another of Smith's lieutenants, to be sold into slavery, who in some manner escaped and found his way to London, where, in the fariiily of a Mr. Slancy, treasurer of the Newfoundland Company, he was employed and kindly treated. The subsequent career PLYMOUTH COLONY. 37 of this Indian, who returned home to find his tribe swept away by disease, and who, with his knowledge of the Eng- lish language, became interested in the Pilgrims, and attached himself to them as a faithful and indispensable friend, seems to have been another feature in that providential plan which continually encompassed and protected the infant colony. Dermer found that the Patuxet tribe, which had occupied Plymouth at the time of the visit of Smith, had at some time been carried off by a contagion. Mourt's Kelation says that " Samoset told us the place is called Patuxet, and that about four years ago all the inhabitants died of an extraordinary plague, and there is neither man, woman, or child remaining, as indeed we have found none." Dermer wrote to Gorges, his patron, a letter, dated July 9, 1620, and in speaking of Plymouth, said, " I would that the first plantation might here be seated, if there come to the number of fifty persons or upwards." Whether Gorges might not have influenced Pierce, in whose name the patent of the Pilgrims had been issued, and whether both together might not have seduced Captain Jones, are further considerations to be weighed in solving the problem of a deviation from the intended voyage of the Mayflower. When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth they were not only outside of the limits of their patent, on a territory of a company from which they had received no grant, but they had settled themselves where the natives of the soil might dispute their right of occupation. At that time the territory, which was afterwards included within the limits of the Old Colony, was occupied by a family of tribes known by the name of Pokanokets. These tribes consisted of the Wam- panoags of Bristol, the particular tribe of Massasoit, num- bering about sixty warriors ; the Pocasetts of Swansea, Eehoboth, Somerset, and Tiverton, under the Sagamore Cor- bitant ; the Saconets of Little Compton ; the Nemaskets of Middleboro ; the Nausites of Eastham ; the Mattachees of Barnstable ; the Monamoys of Chatham ; the Saukatucketts 38 PLYMOUTH COLONY. of Marshpee; and the Nobsquassetts of Yarmouth. To complete the family, the Patuxets of Plymouth must be added, which had been swept away by pestilence. All these tribes were under the dominion of Massasoit, and' though reduced by the recent contagion to five hundred waniors, could at an earlier date raise at' least three thousand. Their enfeebled condition rendered them less than ever a match against the Narragansetts, with whom they were engaged in frequent and deadly hostilities, and though naturally jealous of European encroachments, they manifested a desire at an early date to form with the Pilgrims an offensive and defen- sive alliance. On the 1st of April Massasoit appeared with sixty men on what is now "Watson's Hill, and sent Squanto with Samo- set to the settlement to announce his presence. Winslow was sent with presents to the chief, and told him that " King James saluted him with the words of love and peace, and did accept of him as his friend and ally, and that the governor desired to see him and trade with him, and to live on friendly terms with his near neighbor." While Winslow remained in the Indian camp, the chief, with twenty attendants, unarmed, crossed the brook, where he met Standish, with six musket- eers, and was by him attended to the common house of the settlement. There, seated on a rug and cushions, he met the governor, who entered, preceded by drum and trumpet, and saluted him with all the hondrs of a royal prince. After a season of eating and drinking, the governor proposed the following treaty, which was agreed to by the chief: — 1. "That neither he, nor any of his, should injure or do hurt to any of their people. 2. That if any of his did any hurt to any of theirs, he should send the offender; that they might punish him. 3. That if anything were taken away from any of theirs, he should cause it to be restored; and they should do the like to his. 4. That if any did uniustly war against him, they would aid him; and if any did war against them, he should aid them. 6. That he should send to his neighbor confederates, to inform them PLYMOUTH COLONY. 39 of this, that they might not wrong them, but might likewise be com- prised in the conditions of peace. 6. That when his men came to them upon any occasion, they should leave their bows and arrows behind them. 7. That so doing, their sovereign lord King James would esteem him as his friend and ally." All which Morton says, "he liked well, and withall at the same time acknowledged himself content to become the sub- ject of our sovereign lord the king aforesaid, his heirs and successors ; and gave unto them all the lands adjacent, to them and their heirs forever." This treaty, more sacredly kept than many which Christian nations have since entered into, secured peace and safety to the colony for a period of fifty-five years. The lands granted to the settlers by this treaty were those formerly occupied by the extinct tribe of Patuxets, and included what are now the townships of Plymouth, Duxbury, Kingston, Carv^er, Plympton, Marsh- field, and a part of Halifax. Other portions of the colony were, from time to time, purchased of the natives, and finally incorporated into towns. By the gift from Massasoit, the Pilgrims, without charter from the king, or patent from the Northern Virginia Company, obtained a foothold and pos- session, which under a charter or patent alone would have been usurpation and robbery. A patent, however, was necessary to establish their rightful claim, and the Mayflower carried the news to England of the place of their landing, as well as an application to the Northern Virginia Company for a suitable grant. After the Pilgrims ■ sailed from England, the Northern or Plymouth Company secured a new charter from the king, dated the 3d of November, 1620. The king, having fallen out with Sir Edwin Sandys, the governor and treasurer of the Southern Company, forbade his re-election ; but the Earl of Southampton being chosen in his place, a person equally obnoxious to him, he was inclined to show special favor to the Northern Company, and granted it a new act of incorporation under the title of " The council estab- 40 PLYMOUTH COLONY. lished at Plymouth, ia the county of Devon, for the planting, ordering, ruling, and governing of New England in America," and empowered it to hold territory extending from sea to sea, and in breadth from the fortieth to the forty-eighth degree of north latitude. This immense territory included all between Central New Jersey and the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the Atlantic coast, and the northern part of California, Oregon, and nearly all of Washington Territory on the Pacific ; with a line running through Lake Superior for its northern boundary, and one through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois for its southern. By this company a patent was issued, under date of June 1, 1621, to John Pierce and his associates, which was in trust for the company. This patent is now preserved in Pilgrim Hall in PljTOOuth. It is engrossed on parchment, and bears the signatures of the Duke of Lenox, the Marquis of Hamilton, the Earl of Warwick, Lord Sheffield, and Sir Ferdinando Gorges. Another signature is illegible, and the seal of the instrument, together with the seals of Hamilton and Sheffield, is missing. As the oldest state paper in New England, it is worthy of a place in this narrative : — "This Indenture made the first day of June 1621 And in the yeares of the raigne of our soveraigno Lord .James by the grace of god King of England Scotland Fraunce and Ireland defendor of the faith &o That is to say of England Fraunce and Ireland the nynetenth and of Scotland the fowre and fiftith Betwene the President and Counsell of New England of tlie one ptie And John Peirce Citizen and Clothworker of London and his Associates of the other ptie Witnesseth that whereas the said John Peirce and his Associates have already transpoi'ted and undertaken to transporte at their cost and chardges themselves and dyvers pson's into New England and there to erect and build a Towne and settle dyver's- Inhabitants for the advancement of the generall plantacon of that Countiy of New England Now the Sayde President and Counsell in con- sideracon thereof and for the furtherance of the said planta,eon and incoragement of thfi said Undertakers have agreed to gi-ant assign e allott and appoynt to the said John Peirce and his associates and every of them his and their heires and assignes one hundred acres of grownd for evry pson so to be transported besides dyvers other pi-yviledges Liberties and comodyties hereafter monconed, And to that intent they PLYMOUTH COLONY. 41 have granted allotted assigned and confirmed And by theis presents doe grant allott assigne and confirme unto the said John Peirce and his Associates his and their heires & assignes and the heires and assignes of evry of them sevrally and respectyvelie one hundred sevrall acres of grownd in New England for evry pson so transported or to be transported yf the said John Peirce or his Associates contynue there three whole yeeres either at one or sevrall tymes or dye in tlie meane season after he or they are shipped with intent there to inhabit.

And to the other part hereof the said John Peirce in the name of himself and his said Associates have sett to his scale given the day and yeeres first above written." In 1622 Mr. Pierce, in whose name the patent was taken, succeeded in obtaining another patent superseding the first, running to himself, his heirs, associates, and assigns forever. The fraudulent character of this act was apparent. He had obtained the patent in the interest of the Pilgrims dated June 1, 1621, and on the twenty-second day of April, 1622, he granted formal letters of association to the merchant adven- turers, making them jointly interested with him in the lands which the patent granted. On the same day he received the new patent, under which it was believed that he intended to hold the settlers as his tenants, and control the destinies of the colony. He actually set sail for New England, armed with his patent, and was only prevented by providential storms, PLYMOUTH COLONY. 45 which twice drove him back, from consummating his injren- ious scheme. The adventurers remonstrated with him in vain, and he demanded five hundred pounds in considera- tion of the surrender of his grant. It has been often stated, and widely believed, that the patent was eventually pur- chased by the adventurers, and that it superseded the old one. The records of the Council for New England, how- ever, show, a,s quoted by Mr. Palfrey in his History of New England, that the following order was passed by that company : — " Whereas there were several differences between John Pierce citizen and clothmaker of London and the Treasurer and other the associates of him the said John Pierce that were undertakers with him for tlie settling and advancement of the plantation at Plymouth, in the parts of New England, said differences, after the full hearing and debating thereof before us were finally concluded upon by the offer of the said John Pierce, and mutual adoption of the said Treasurer and Company then present, in behalf of themselves and the rest of the said Company, that the said associates with their undertakers and servants now settled or to be settled in Plymouth aforesaid should remain and continue tenants unto the Council established for the managing of the aforesaid affairs of New England, notwithstanding a grant, bearing date the 20th of April, 1622, by said Pierce obtained without the consent of the said associates, from the said Council, contrary to a former grant to the said Pierce made in behalf of himself and his said associates dated the 1st of June, 1621." Thus it is clear that whether any consideration was paid by the adventurers to Pierce or not, the new patent was can- celled, and that the patent issued in 1621, and now in Ply- mouth, remained in force. This patent was brought over in the Fortune, a small vessel of fifty-five tons, which arrived in November, 1621, and brought thirty-five passengers to be added to the colony, besides Eobert Cushman, who came to return. A letter was received by him from Mr. Weston, one of the adventurers, directed to Governor Carver, then dead, and, in the language of Bradford, full of complaints and expostulations concerning the return of the Mayflower, long 46 PLYMOUTH COLONY. delayed and without a cargo. That part of the letter pre- served in Bradford's history says : — " I durst never acquainte the adventurers with the alteration of the conditions first agreed on betweene us, which I have since been vei-y glad of, for I am well assured had they knowne as much as I doe, they would not have adventured a halfe-penny of what was necessary for this sliip. That you sent no lading in the ship is wonderfuU and worthily distasted. I know your weaknes was the cause of it, and I beleeve more weaknes of Judgmente, than weaknes of hands. A quarter of the time you spent in discoursing, arguing & consulting, would have done much more ; but that is past. If you mean, bona fide, to performe the conditions agreed upon, doe us the favore to coppy them out fiiire, and subscribe them with the principal! of your names. And likewise give us accouute as perticulerly as you can how our moneys were laid out. And then I sliall be able to give them some satisfaction, whom I am now forsed with good words to shift of. And consider that the life of the bussness depends on the lading of this ship, which, if you doe to any good purpose, that I may be freed from the great sums I have disbursed for the formir, and must doe for the later, I promise you I wUl never quit the bussness, though all the other adventurers would. We have procured you a Charter the best we could, which is beter than your former, and with less limitation. For any thing that is els worth writting, Mr. Cushman can informe you. I pray write instantly for Mr. Robinson to come to you. And so praying God to blesse you with all graces necessaiy both for this life «& that to come I rest. Your very loving friend, Thomas Weston. LONDOX, July 6, 1621. Mr. Cushman, who came in the Fortune, came clearly as the agent of the adventurers. He returned in the same ves- sel, carrying with him the contract, now for the first time signed, and a freight of clapboard, and beaver and otter skins, valued at five hundred pounds. The sermon which he preached during his short visit on the sin and danger of self- love, from the text, 1 Cor. x. 24, "Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth," was simply an appeal to the settlers to deal liberally with the adventurers, and sign the contract. Bradford says, "Mr. Cushman returned %acke also with this ship, for so Mr. Weston & the rest had apoyuted him for their better information. And he doubted PLYMOUTH colony; 47 not, nor themselves neither, but they should have a speedy supply; considering allso how by Mr. Cushman's perswation, and letters received from Leyden, wherein they willed them so to doe, they yielded to the aforesaid conditions, and sub- scribed them with their hands." There is no reason, how- ever, to suspect that Cushman acted as the advocate of the adventurers, to the prejudice of the Pilgrims. He had changed the conditions of the contract in good faith, and, as a man of honor, was only anxious that the settlers should carry out the only arrangement which he believed could have secured a transfer of the colony to a home in the new world. That he brought with him his son, a lad fourteen years of age, and left him behind on his return to England, is suffi- cient evidence of his intention to continue his connection with his Pilgrim brethren, and of his devotion to their interests. Another passenger in the Fortune was William Wright, who may with some reason be added to the list of those sup- posed to have been members of the church at Scrooby. Among the baptisms recorded in the church at Austerfield, adjoining Scrooby, is that of William, son of W^illiam Wright, under date of the 10th of March, 1588, and it is at least a fair presumption that he was the Plymouth immigrant of 1621, and, with or without his father, was one of the worshippers in the old manor house in 1607. The Fortune was captured by the French on her return voyage, her cargo lost to the adventurers, and Cushman sub- jected to vexatious hinderances and delays. In 1625, before he could again visit New England he died, and his continued friendly relations with the colony is shown by the tribute paid by Gov. Bradford to his memory, " That he was as their right hand with their freends the adventurers, and for divers years had done & agitated all their bussiness with them to their great advantage." In 1622 two ships, the Charity and Swan, visited Plymouth, sent out by Thomas Weston, with colonists for his plantation at Wessagusset, or Weymouth, and bringing letters from him to the Pilgrims stating, that* notwithstanding 48 PLYMOUTH COLONY. his protestations of everlasting devotion to their interests, he had sold out his share in the joint-stock of the adventurers, and "that he was quit of them and they of him." In 1623 the Ann and Little James, the former of one hundred and forty tons, and the latter of forty-four tons, arrived with sixty persons to be added to the colony, and a number of others who had come at their own charge and on their own account. Bradford, in speaking of these vessels, says, "That they brought about 60 persons for the general, some of them being very usefull persons, and became good members to the body, and some were the wives and children of shuch as were hear allready, and besids these there came a company that did not belong to the genorall body, but came on tlieir perticuler, and were to have lands assigned them, and be for themselves, yet to be subjecte to the generall Government." Between those who came on their " perticuler " and the colony, it was agreed : — "1. That the Governor in the name and with the consente of the company, doth in all love and friendship receive and embrace them ; and is to allote them competente places for habitations, within the towne. And promiseth to shew them all such other curtesies aa shall be reasonable for them to desire, or us to performe. 2. That they, on their parts, be subjecte to all such laws & orders as are already made or hear after shal be for the publick good. 3. That they be freed and exempte from the generall employments of the said company (which their presente condition of comunitie requireth) excepte commune defence & such other employments as tend to the per- petimll good of the coUony. 4. Towards the maintenance of Government & publick officers of the said collony, eveiy male above the age of 16 years shall pay a bushell of Indean wheat, or the worth of it into the commone store. 5. That (according to the agreemente the marchants made with them before they came) they are wholy debared from all trade with the Indeans for all s'oi-ts of furrs, and such like commodities till the time of the comu- nallitie be ended." ' Some thoughtless writers have described the "comunallitie" alluded to in the above agreement as a species of communism which reflected no credit on the social views of the Pilfriras. PLYMOUTH COLONY. 49 But it must be remembered that they formed, with the merchants of London, a joint-stock company, whose lands and houses and goods must remain in common until the expiration of their contract. The passengers in the Ann and Little James completed the list of those who are usually called the first-comers. The Ann returned to England in September, carrying Mr. Winslow to negotiate with the merchants for needful supplies, and the Little James remained at Plymouth in the service of the company. Lists of the pas- sengers in these vessels have, from time to time, been published, but they are so incomplete as to be unworthy of record in this narrative. As far, however, as these lists go, and that also of the passengers in the Fortune in 1621, their names will appear in the statement of the division of lands which was made in the spring of 1624. In 1623, at a time when the colony was reduced to a short allowance in conse- quence of the insuiEciency of the crops of the previous years, it had been a question for serious consideration as to what measures should be adopted to secure better harvests in the future. Up to that time the company had worked together on the company lands, and each sharing in the fruits of another's labors, felt little of that personal responsibility which was necessary to secure the largest returns. " So they begane to think how they might raise as much corne as they could, and obtaine a beter crope then they had done, that they might not still thus languish in miserie. At length, after much debate of things, the Governor (with the advise of the cheefest amongest them) gave way that they should set corne every man for his owne perticuler, and in that regard trust to themselves ; in all other things to goe on in the generall way as before. And so assigned to every family a parcell of land, according to the proportion of their number for that end, only for present use (but made no devision for inheritance) , and ranged all boys & youth under some familie. This had very good success ; for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corne was planted 50 PLYMOUTH COLONY. then other waise would have bene by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deall of trouble, and gave &rr better contente. The women now wente will- ingly into the field, and took their litle-ons with them to set corne, which before would aledg weaknes and inabilitie : whom to have compelled would have been thought great tiranie and oppression." Such is the language of Bradford concerning a measure which was adopted from motives of necessity, but which was, to a certain extent, an infringement of the provisions of the contract with the adventurers. Before the planting season of the next year a more emphatic violation of the contract was committed. " They (the colony) begane now highly to prise corne as more pretious then silver, and those that had some to spare begane to trade one with another for smale things, by the quarte, potle & peck &C : for money they had none, and if any had, corne was prefered before it. That they might therfore encrease their tillage to better advan- tage, they made suite to the Governor to have some portion of land given them for continuance, and not by yearly lotte, for by that means, that which the more industrious had brought into good culture (by such pains) one year, came to leave it the nexte, and after another might injoye it ; so as the dressing of their lands, were the more sleighted over & to lese profite. Which being well considered, their request was granted. And to every person was given only one acre of land, to them and theirs, as nere the towne as might be, and they had no more till the 7 years were expired." This experience gradually led the colony in the right track, and the growing necessity for some other circulating medium than silver secured abundant harvests. In accordance with the plan of division adopted by the Governor, the following allotments were made: Sixty-nine acres were granted to those who came in the Mayflower. Of these, twenty-nine were granted, —to Kobert Cushman, 1 ; William Brewster, 6 ; William Bradford, 3 ; Eichard Gardener, 1 ; Francis Cooke, 2 ; PLYMOUTH COLONY. 51 George Soule, 1 ; Isaac Allerton, 7 ; John Billington, 3 ; Peter Brown, 1 ; Samuel Fuller, 2 ; Joseph Eogers, 2 ; and these twenty-nine were situated on the south side of town brook, between Sandwich street and the harbor, and extend- ing south nearly, if not quite, as far as Fremont street. Sixteen acres were granted, — to John Howland, 4 ; Stephen Hopkins, 6 ; Edward Leister, 1 ; Edward Doty, 1 ; Gilbert Winslow, 1 ; and Samuel Fuller, Junior, 3 ; and these six- teen included what is now "Watson's Hill. Five acres were granted to Wilham White, between the Burial Hill and Mur- dock's Pond. It is not clear why this grant was made to Mr. White, as he had been dead three years, and his widow had long before become the wife of Edward Winslow, and I'eceived her acre in the allotment to her second husband. It is probable, however, that he had contributed a sufficient sum of money to entitle his family, under the provisions of the contract, to the acres allotted to them. Nineteen acres were granted, — to Edward Winslow, 4 ; Eichard Warren, 2 ; John Goodman, 1 ; John Crakstone, 1 ; John Alden, 2 ; Mary Chilton, 1 ; Miles Standish, 2 ; Francis Eaton, 4 ; Henry Samson, 1; Humilitie Cooper, 1; and these nineteen . were situated between Court street and the harbor, and bounded on the north almost precisely by the railroad park. In these acres it is worthy of notice that John Goodman had been dead three years, and that Standish was granted two acres, though his first wife died in 1621, and his second wife, Bar- bara, received her acre separately as a passenger in the Ann. In the records, the figures annexed to Goodman, Crakstone, Alden, and Chilton are obliterated, but as Alden was at that time married, it is fair to presume that his acres were two. Thirty-three acres were granted to those who came in the Fortune. Six of these were granted, — to William Hilton, 1 ; John Winslow, 1 ; William Conner, 1 ; John Adams, 1 ; William Tench, 1 ; and John Cannon, 1 ; and these six were situated immediately north of the railroad park, on the east side of the street. Eight were granted, — to Hugh Statie, 1 ; 52 FLTMOUTH COLONT. William Beale, 1 ; Thomas Cushman, 1 ; Austin Nicolas, 1 ; Widow Foord, 4 ; and these eight were situated immediately north of the Woolen Mill Brook. Nineteen acres were granted,— to William Wright, 1; William Pitt, 1; Eobert Hickes, 1 ; Thomas Prence, 1 ; Stephen Dean, 1 ; Moses Simonson, 1 ; Phillip de la Noye, 1 ; Edward Bompasse, 1 ; Clement Briggs, 1 ; James Steward, 1 ; William Palmer, 2 ; Jonathan Brewster, 1 ; Bennet Morgan, 1 ; Thomas Flavell and his son, 2 ; Thomas Morton, 1 ; William Bassite, 2 ; and these nineteen extended from Shaw's Brook to the Woolen Mill Brook, on the westerly side of the street. Ninety-five acres were granted to those who came in the Ann. Of these forty-five were granted, — to James Kande, 1 ; Francis Sprague, 3 ; Edward Flood, 1 ; Christopher Co- nant, 1 ; Francis Cooke, 4 ; Edward Burcher, 2 ; John Jenings, 5 ; Goodwife Flavell, 1 ; Manasseh and John Faunce, 2 ; George Morton and Experience Mitchell, 8 ; Christian Penn, 1 ; Thomas Morton, Junior, 1 ; wife and two children of William Hilton, 3 ; Alice Bradford, 1 ; wife and three children of Eobert Hickes, 4 ; Bridget Fuller, 1 ; Ellen Newton, 1 ; Patience and Fear Brewster, 2 ; Robert Long, 1 ; AVilliam Heard, 1 ; Barbara Standish, 1 ; and these forty-five were situated on both sides of Cold Spring Brook, on the east side of the road. Fifty acres were granted, — to Marie Buckett, 1 ; John Oldham and Company, 10 ; Cuthbert Cuth- bertson, 6 ; Anthony Anable, 4 ; Thomas Tilden, 3 ; Eichard Warren, 5 ; Edward Bangs, 4 ; Eobert Eattliffe, 2 ; Nicolas Snow, 1 ; Anthony Dix, 1 ; two servants of Mr. Pierce, 2 Ealph Wallen, 2 ; Stephen Tracey, 3 ; Thomas Clarke, 1 Eobert Bartlett, 1 ; Edward Holman, 1 ; Francis Palmer, 1 Joshua and Phineas Pratt, 2 ; and these fifty were located on both sides of Wellingsly Brook, and so on towards Eel Eiver. The precise situation of many of these lots will be defined in the chapter tracing the titles of estates. But long before the above division of lands, immediately after the lauding, a temporary allotment was made of meer- PLYMOUTH COLONT. 53 steads and garden plots on which houses might be built for immediate shelter. Nineteen house lots were laid out on both sides of what is now Leyden Street, corresponding to the number of families in the colony, and each family was allowed half a rod in breadth and three rods in depth for each member. Mourt's Eelation says, under date of the 19th of January, 1G21, "We went to labor that day in the building of our town in two rows of houses for more safety." It has been often stated that the plan here copied from the first page of the Old Colony Eecords is incomplete, and it may be, so far as the omission of the com- The meersteads & garden plots of which came first layd out 1620. The North Side. The South Side. Peter Brown John Goodman Mr. Brewster HTGETWAY John Billington Mr Isaac Allerfcon Francis Cooke Edward Winslow pany houses is concerned. It is probable, however, that in the rapidly-reduced con- dition of the colony the seven houses laid down on the plan were all that could be built or were needed to furnish shelter from the win- ter's cold, and that the plan is to that extent correct. Edward Winslow, in a letter to George Morton, dated December 21, 1621, and sent by the Fortune which sailed on the 23d of that month says, "We have built seven dwelling houses and four for the use of the plantation." All these structures were doubtless built on the south side of Leyden Street, and extended from near the foot of the street to Spring Street, which was laid out at an early date at a right angle with Leyden Street, having the Fort or Burial Hill for the corner of the angle and a protection for both streets. Edward Winslow's lot was at the upper end of Leyden Street, with three lots between his and Market Street, and the lot of Peter Brown was the lowest on the street, with a house for the sick, the common-house and two storehouses below it. The exact site of one of the storehouses is defined in a deed from William Bradford to John Dyer, in 1698, of 54 PLYMOUTH COLONr. a lot of land on which the house with a brick end stands, now occupied by Mr. Frederick L. Holmes, and situated on the south side of Leyden Street. The lot is there described as running on the street northeasterly "as far as the north- easterly corner of the old store house which formerly stood on the lot." This lot adjoins that on which tradition states that the common-house stood. It is probable that soon after the first year the original plan was partially carried out, and that houses were built on the other side \of the street. Records of titles show that John Alden occupied the spot where School Street enters Town Square, and that Stephen Hopkins, John Howland, and Samuel Fuller occupied the three lots east of Main Street in the order named. It is known also that Governor Bradford's house stood on the upper corner of Main Street and Town Square, and, in the absence of both record and tradition, it is probable that Standish occupied a lot above Alden on what is now Burial Hill, near the Fort, of which he doubtless had care and supervision. These divisions of land have additional interest as evidence of the large amount which had been cleared by the Indians. In 1621, according to Winslow, the colonists planted twenty acres of Indian corn and six of barley and pease, and in 1622 they planted sixty acres. In 1623 the number of acres was increased, and doubtless nearly all of the two hundred acres allotted in 1624 were put under cultivation. It is probable that a strip of land along the shore, nearly two miles in length, had for generations and perhaps centuries been the planting-ground of the natives. An Indian burial-ground was discovered in 1844 on the line of the Old Colony Rail- road near High Cliff, about a mile and a half from the town, which may have been the northerly boundary of the native settlement. In this ground was exhumed, with bones and arrowheads, a curious pipe, now in the possession of the author, which must antedate the pestilence of 1616. The recent discovery of a similar pipe in the wreck of the Sparrow Hawk, lost on Cape Cod in 1628, and until a comparatively PLYMOUTH COLONY. 65 recent date buried in the sand, shows it to have had an European origin, and perhaps to be a relic of the expedition of Champlain or John Smith. It is unnecessary to go over the incidents in the life of the Pilgrim Colony from this period to the date of the termination of their contract with the adventurers. They are twice-told tales, and beyond the scope of this narrative. Winslow was sent to England, in the Ann, in 1623, to " informe of all things and procure such things as were thought needfull for their present condition." In 1624 he returned in the Charity, bringing, besides a good supply, " 3 heifers & a bull the first begining of any catle of that kind in the land." At that time there were one hundred and eighty persons in the colony, " some cattle and goats, but many swine and poultry and thirty-two dwelling houses." In the latter part of the year Winslow sailed again for England in the Little James and returned in 1625. The news he brought was discouragino; to o DO the colonists. The debt due to the adventurers was fourteen hundred pounds, and the creditors had lost confidence in their enterprise. In the year of his return, Standish was sent to England in a fishing vessel returning home on business with the adventurers and the Council for New England, with instructions "to obtain a supply of goods and learn what terms could be made for a release." In 1626 he returned, having hired one hundred and fifty pounds at fifty per cent. , which he expended in the most needful commodities. He brought news of the death of both Eobinson and Cushman, the one, though separated from the colonists by the sea, still their spiritual as the other was their worldly guide. In the same year Mr. AUerton went to England with orders " to make a composition with the adventurers, upon as good termes as he could (unto which some way had ben made the year before by Captaine Standish) ; but yet injoyned him not to conclud absolutely till they knew the termes, and had well considered of them ; but to drive it to as good an issue as he could and refer the conclusion to them." He returned m 1627, 56 PLYMOUTH COLONY. having hired two hundred pounds at thirty per cent., and concluded the following agreement with the adventurers, subject to the approval of the colony : — "To all Christian people, greeting &c. Whereas at a meeting the 26 of October last past, diverse & sundrie persons, whose names to the one part of these presents are subscribed in a schedule hereunto annexed. Adventurers to Kew-Plimouth in New England in America, were con- tented and agreed, in consideration of the sunie of one thousand and eight hundred pounds sterling to be paid (in manner and forme foiling) to sell, and make sale of all and every the stocks, shares, lands, mer- chandize, and chatles, whatsoever to the said adventurers and others their fellow adventurers to New Plimouth aforesaid, any way accruing, or belonging to the generalitie of the said adventurers aforesaid; as well by reason of any sume or sumes of money or marchandize at any time heretofore adventured or disbursed by them, or othenvise howsoever; for the better expression and setting forth of which said agreemente, the parties to these presents subscribing doe for themselves severally, and as much as in them is, grant, bargain, alien, sell, and transfere all «& every the said shares, goods, lands, marchandice, and chatles to them belonging as aforesaid, unto Isaaok Allerton, one of the planters resident at Plimoth afiforesaid, assigned, and sent over as agente for the rest of the planters ther, and to such other planters at Plimoth afforesaid, as the said Isaack, his heirs or assignes, at his or ther arrivall, shall by writing or otherwise thinke fitte to joyne or partake in the premisses, their heirs and assignes, in as large, ample and beneficiall maner and forme, to all intents and purposes, as the said subscribing adventurers here could or may doe or performe.

The result of the negotiations was the approval of the agreement; and the debt of eighteen hundred pounds to the adventurers and a debt to other parties amounting to six hundred more were assumed by William Bradford, Miles Standish, Isaac Allei-ton, Edward Winslow, William Brew- ster, John Howland, John Alden, and Thomas Prence, to whom were joined their Mends James Shirley, John Beau- champ, Eichard Andrews, and Timothy Hatherly, of London, and payments were to be made by regular annual instalments. In consideration of their assumption of the debt the trading privileges of the colony were assigned to them as security by the following instrument ; — " Articles of agreemente betweene the collony of New-Plimoth of the one partie, and William Bradford, Captain Myles Standish, Isaack AUer- ton &c one the other partie ; and slmch others as they sliall tliinke good to take as partners and undertakers with them, ooneerning tlie trade for beaver «fe other furrs & commodities, &c; made July 1627. First it is agreed and covenanted betweexte the said parties, that the afforesaid WUliam Bradford, Captain Myles Standish & Isaack AUerton &c have undertaken, and doe by these presents, covenant and agree to pay, diseliarge, and acquite the said collony of all the debtes both duo for the purchass, or any other belonging to them, at the day of the date of these presents. Secondly, the above said parties are to have and freely injoye the pinass latly built, the boat at Manamett, and the shallop, caUed the Bass-boat, with aU other implements to them belonging, that is in the store of the said company; with all the wliole stock of fuiTS, feUs, beads, eorne, wampanjpeak, hatchets, knives &c that is now in the storre, or any way due unto the same uppon accounte. Thirdly. That the above said parties have the whole trade to them- selves, their heires and assignes, with all the privileges thereof, as the 58 PLYMOUTH COLONY. said collonie doth now, or may use the same, for 6 full years, to begine the last of September next insulng. Fourtlily. In fnrder consideration of the discharge of the said debtes, every seyerall purchaser doth promise and covenante yearly to pay, or cause to be payed, to the above said parties, during the fall terme of the said 6 years, 3 bushells of corne, or 6 pounds of tobacco at the under- takers choyse. Fifthly. The said undertakers shall dureing the afforesaid terme bestow 50 pounds per annum, iu hose and shoese, to be brought over for the coUonies use, to be sould unto them for corne at 6 shillings per bushell. Sixthly. That at the end of the said terme of 6 years, the v^hole trade shall returne to the use and benefite of the said collonie, as before. Lastly, if the afforesaid undertakers, after they have acquainted their freinds in England with the covenants, doe (upon the first returne) resolve to performe them, and undertake to discharge the debtes of the said coUony, according to the true meaning & intente of these presents, then they are (upon such notice given) to stand in full force ; otherwise all things to remaine as formerly they were, and a true accounte to be given to the said collonie, of the disposing of all things according to the former order." In accordance with this agreement these gentlemen at once entered vigorously into the enterprise, and by the use of wampum, as a circulating medium, carried on so extensive a trade with the natives in the purchase of furs and other articles for export to England as within the prescribed period to pay off the entire debt and leave the colony in the undis- puted possession of all their lands. No legal-tender scheme, in these later days, has been bolder in its conception, or more successful in its career than that of the Pilgrim Fathers, which, with the shells of the shore, relieved their community from debt, and established on a permanent basis the wealth and prosperity of New England. Many of the Indian tribes not acquainted with the use of wampum, were instructed in its use before the enterprise could be successfully carried out, and adopted it greedily when it was fully understood. This currency of the early days was made from the purple and white parts of the quaw-haug shell, round, about a sixteenth of an PLYMOUTH COLONY. 59 inch in thickness, and a quarter of an inch in diameter, with a hole in the middle for stringing on strings of bark or hemp, the purple and white alternating on the string, the purple of double the value of the white, and the whole valued at live shillings per fathom. Strings of this wampum may be seen in Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, which have been preserved in the native families of the old colony, and used as necklaces and other ornaments after their use as currency had become obso- lete. After the contract with the adventurers had expired, in 1627, and while the above negotiations were pending, another division of land was made, and also a division of the cows and goats belonging to the company. "And first accordingly the few catle which they had were divided which arose to this proportion ; a cowe to 6 persons or shares & 2 goats to the same, which were first equalized for age & goodnes, and then lotted for; single persons consorting with others, as they thought good, & smaler familys likwise ; and swine though more in number yet by the same rule. Then they agreed that every person or share should have 20. acres of land divided unto them, besids the single acres they had allready ; and they appoynted were to begin first on the one side of the towne & how farr to goe ; and then on the other side in like manner ; and so to devid it by lotte ; and ap- pointed sundrie by name to do it and tyed them to certain ruls to proceed by ; as that they should only lay out settable or tillable land, at least & such of it as should butt on the water side (as the most they were to lay out did) , and pass by the rest as refuse and comune ; and what they judged fitte should be so taken. . . . AUso every share or 20. acres was to be laid out 5. acres in breadth by the water side and 4. acres in length, excepting nooks & corners which were to be measured as they would bear to best advantage. But no meadows were to be laid out at all, nor were not of many years after, because they were but streight of meadow grounds ; and if they had bene now given out it would have 60 PLYMOUTH COL03Srr. hindred all addition to them afterwards ; but every season all were appoynted wher they should mowe, according to the proportion of catle they had." The division of cattle thus described by Bradford was ordered at a General Court held May 22, 1627 (old style), and the division of lands at a Court held on the 3d of January following. In these divisions, those who had come in the Ann in 1623, on their own account, were included, and henceforth they were mem- bers of the company in full standing. After the negotiations with the adventurers had been com- pleted, the colonists were anxious to obtain another patent from the New England Company conferring larger powers and defining their territorial limits. After three visits to England, Allerton was sent a fourth time, in 1629, and secured a patent dated January 13, 1629 (old style), and signed by the Earl of Warwick on behalf of the Council of New England, enlarging the original grant, and establishing the boundaries of what has been since known as the Old Colon3^ It granted to William Bradford and his associates "all that part of New England in America, the tract and tracts of land that lie within or between a certain rivolet or rundlett, then commonly called Coahasset alias Conahasset, towards the north, and the river commonly called Naragan- set river towards the south, and the great Western ocean towards the east, and between and within a straight line directly extending up into the mainland towards the west from the mouth of the said river called the Naraganset river, to the utmost limits and bounds of a country or place in New England called Pokernacutt, alius Puckenakick, alias Sawaam- set, westward, and another straight line extending itself directly from the mouth of the said river called Coahassett towards the west, so far up into the mainland westward as the utmost limits of the said place or county called Pokernacutt doth extend, together with one half of the said river called Narraganset, and the said rivolet called Coahas- set." PLYMOUTH COLONY. 61 This patent always remained in the possession of the family of Governor Bradford until 1741, when, during the controversy concerning the line between Massachusetts and Ehode Island, it was, as stated by Josiah Cotton in his diary, "after a deal of labor and cost," found at Plympton, and used as evidence before the commissioners appointed to settle that dispute. In 1820 it was found where it now is, in the registry of deeds at Plymouth, by the commissioners ap- pointed by the legislature of Massachusetts to superintend the work of making a copy of the Old Colony records for the State. It was then, as they say in their report, in a defaced condition, with its seal of the New England Com- pany much broken. They further say " that the parts of the seal were carefully cemented and secured together by them, and enclosed in a case, so that the original impression may be seen." The inscription on the seal, which is about four inches in diameter, and made of brown wax, it is impossible to decipher, but the figures on its face, of which there are two, plainly visible except in detail, appear to be those of an Indian carrying in one hand a bow and arrow, and in the other a club, and of a white man bearing in his left hand an olive branch, and in the other some articlfe which cannot be distinguished. It is unnecessary to trace the grants made at various* times by the court. It is sufficient on this head to say that grants were made from time to time in different parts of the colony, and that all remaining land, until finally disposed of, remained in common. Finally, towns were incorporated, and ungranted lands within the limits of each town became the property of the town, to be disposed of as it saw fit. So far as the town of Plymouth is concerned, it may be said that in Feb- ruary, 1702, it was voted that a thirty-acre lot should be given to each proprietor, and in the following March it was voted that the lands remaining ungranted, lying within a tract a mile and a half square, and including the central vil- lage, should be held by the town in its municipal capacity, 62 PLYMOUTH COLONY. and sold from time to time for its benefit. All common lands within the limits of the town outside of this tract were granted to the freemen of the town, two hundred and one in number, who were called, after the town of Plympton was set off and incorporated, " Plymouth and Plympton Proprie- tors." This grant was doubtless made because it was be- lieved that, in the hands of individuals, the lands would be more productive than in the hands of the town. It was sim- ply a dividend of lands to the owners in the common stock. The bounds of this mile and a half tract are described in the town records, and one or more of its monuments may now be seen. After a few years the remaining lots in the mile and a half tract had all been sold, with the exception of Burial Hill, Court Square, Cole's Hill, Training Green, the Town House lot, sundry ministerial lands, and a few strips and gores, and thus the home of the Patuxets, the domain of Massasoit, the patented grant of the adventurers, and the pos- session of the Pilgrims, passed into the hands of individuals, under and through whom the present generation holds its titles. The Plymouth and Plympton proprietors organized by the choice of a clerk, whose books, preserved in the office of the town clerk of Plymouth, contain their proceedings, and the records of their grants and sales. In 1705 the Proprietors voted to grant to each of their number a twenty-acre lot, and, shortly after, a sixty-acre lot, in addition. In the same year all the cedar swamps within the town were divided into thirty-nine great lots, which were subdivided into shares, and distributed among the proprietors by lot. In 1710 it was voted to lay out the remainder of their lands, containing thirty thousand acres, in ten great lots, these also to be sub- divided into shares, and distributed. It is unnecessary to give the bounds of these lots, as they may be easily found on the records. The first extends from West Pond and the South Meadow road, eight miles, to Wareham ; the seven next lie between the first lot and Half-way Pond river ; the PLYMOUTH COLONY. 63 ninth is bounded by the Mast road, Half-way Pond, Long Pond, the Herring Path, and the Sandwicli road; and the tenth lies east and west of the Sandwich road, below the herring path. Thus the lands of the proprietors, like the lands of the town, became the property of individuals, and every trace of their former common ownership was lost. An attempt has been made to recognize in the common lands of the old colony a feature of some social system of which the early communisms of the Old World were types, and of which the communism of Kussia to-day is a rude illustration. The attempt, however, must fail. They were simply the tempo- rarily ungranted portion of lands once belonging to a joint stock company, which was necessarily obliged to take that form of association in order to secure means from their Eng- lish partners to carry out their scheme of colonization. At the earliest possible date after the termination of their con- tract with the adventurers, the Plymouth colonists granted and sold and divided their lands, until at last, without oppor- tunities for sale, they distributed nearly all that remained, and stamped on them the mark of individual ownership. 64 PLYMOUTH COLONY. CHAPTER ni. The Compact. — Governor and Assistants. — The General Court, — Pi-eemen. — Judicial Powers. — Laws of the Colony. — Declaration of Independence. — Constables. — Organization of Towns. — Pur- chases of Indian Lands. — Selectmen. — Tithingmen. — Colony and Town Records. The first civil act of the Pilgrims, after their arrival in Cape Cod Harbor, was to draw up a compact, or "combination," as it is called by Bradford, which was signed by the male members of the company, and became the foundation on which the structure of our government has been built. Under date of November 21, Mourt's Eelation states that "this day, before we came to harbour, observing some not well affected to unity and concoi'd, but gave some appearance of faction, it was thought good there should be an association and agreement, that we should combine together in one body, and to submit to such government and governors as we should, by common consent, agree to make and choose, and set our hands to this that follows, word for word." " In the name of God. Amen. We whose names are undenvriten, the loyall subjects of our dread soveraigne Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britaine, Fi-anc and Ireland king, defender of the faith &c, haveing undertaken, for the glorie of God, and advancemente of the Christian faith, and honor of our king and countrie, a voyage to plant the first colonie in the northerne parts of Virginia, doe by these presents solemnly and mutualy in the presence of God, and one of an- other, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civill body politick, for our bettor ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by vertue hearof to enacte, constitute and frame such just and eqnall lawes, ordenances, acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meete and convenient for the generall good PLT3I0UTH COLONT. 65 of the colonie, unto which we pi-omise all due submission and obedience. In witnes whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cap-Codd the 11. of November, in the year of the raigne of our soveraigne lord, King James of England, France and Ireland the eighteenth and of Scotland the fifty fourth. Ano Dom 1620." And on the same day John Carver was confirmed in the office of governor. He had already been chosen governor on board the Mayflower, and his confirmation was doubtless a mere form rendered necessary by the adoption of a consti- tution of government under which his official duties were to be performed. In the cabin of the Mayflower, then, not only was the foundation-stone of republican institutions on this continent laid, but the first New England town-meeting was held and the first elective officer chosen by the will of a majority. On the 27th of February the first recorded meeting on the land was held' in the common house " for appointing military orders," and Miles Standish was chosen captain. An attempt has been made by a recent writer to attach special significance to the fact that " a court of guard " was established as early as January 4, and a captain chosen as early as February 27. It is claimed that the organization of the guard antedated the General Couii; or town-meeting, and that the choice of a "military officer to command in affiiirs " antedated that of civil officers, with the apparent view of showing that the Pilgrims were establishing a martial colony after some primitive type of which Standish was the " Roman praetor, an Earl Marshal, or Lord High Constable." The fact is, however, that "the court of guard" was nothing more than a night-watch set to guard the tools and equip- ments left on shore after the day's work was done and most of the workmen had returned to the Mayflower in the harbor. Carver, too, had really been chosen governor three months before the appointment of Standish, and this selection of a captain was simply due to a fear of the Indians, and to a division of labor adopted in establishing a settlement in which the part of Standish was plainly indicated by the profession 66 PLYMOUTH coLoirr. of arms, to which he belonged. It is useless to attempt to show that the Pilgrims in forming the government of the colony or that of the towns into which it was at a later day divided, were following any Eoman, Teutonic, Saxon, or other model. Their government was not like the constitution under which our nation now lives, moulded and shaped and perfected as a whole. It was evolved from a simple germ, demanding and receiving new treatment as it grew, and finding in the practical hands of its projectors a ready appli- cation of remedies for defects, of measures for the removal of obstacles, of new laws for new requirements, and new officers for new labors and duties. On the 2d of April another meeting was held " on common business," at which military orders were concluded, laws " convenent for the common state " passed, and Carver was again " chosen, or rather confirmed as governor for the fol- lowing year." Early in April, however. Carver died, and William Bradford w^as chosen governor in his place, with Isaac Allerton as his assistant. If Carver had an assistant it was probably Bradford, whose election as governor was a promotion from the next highest office. From 1621 to 1657, the year of his death, Bradford was annually chosen governor with the exception of 1633-1636 and 1644, when Edward Winslow was chosen, and 1634 and 1638 when Thomas Prence was chosen. In 1624, at the annual election, he strongly recommended a rotation in office, and it is proba- ble that in the excepted years he was dropped at his own request. Indeed, it is a matter of record, that in 1633, when Edward Winslow was chosen, Bradford " by importunity got ofi"." Until 1624 only one assistant had been chosen, but in that year, at the request of the governor, four were added. After 1621, in which, and in several succeeding years, Isaac Allerton was the assistant, no record shows who, besides Mr. Allerton, held that office until 1633, when Winslow was chosen governor, with William Bradford, Miles Standish, John Hovvland, John Alden, John Done, Stephen Hopkins, PLYMOUTH COLONY. 67 and William Gilson as assistants. Precisely what the powers and duties of the governor and assistants were in the early years of the colony is not known. In 1636 they were defined by a law, which probably confirmed, with, perhaps, some additions, those already exercised. The following was its text : — " The office of the Governor for the time being consists in the exe- cucon of such laws and ordnances, as are or shall be made and established for the good of this Corporacon according to the severall bounds and limits thereof vizt ; In calling together or advising with the Assistants or Councell of the said Corporacon upon such materiall occasions (or so seeming to him) as time shall bring foorth. In which assembly and all others the Governor to propound the occasion of the Assembly and have a double voice therein. If the Assistants judge the case too great to be descided by them and refer it to the Generall Court, then the Governor to sumon a Court by warning all the fireemen aforesaid that are then extant, and there also to propound causes, and goe before the Assistants in the examinacon of pticulars, and to propound such sentence as shall be determined, flfurther it shall be lawfull for him to arrest and comit to ward anj' offenders provided that with all convent spede he shall bring the cawse to hearing either of the Assistance or Genei-al Court according to the nature of the offence. Also it shall be lawfull for him to examine any suspicious psons for evill against the Colony, as to intercept or oppose such as he conceiveth may tend to the overthrow of the same. And that this Officer continue one whole yeare and no more without renewing by elecon." In the same year it was also enacted "that noe pson or psons hereafter shal be admitted to live and inhabite within the Government of New Plymouth without the leave and liking of the Governor or two of his Assistants at least." The Governor was required by a law passed in the same year to take the following oath : — " You shall sweare to be truly loyall to our Soveraigne Lord King Charles the State and Government of England as it now stands his heires and successors. Also according to that measure of wisdome understand- ing and discerning given unto you faithfully equally and indifferently without respect of psons to administer justice in all cases coming before you as the Governour of New Plymouth. You shall in like maner faith- foUy duly and truly execute the lawes and ordnances of the same. And (58 PLYMOUTH COLONY. Shall labor to advance and further the good of the Colonies and Plantacons within the limits thereof to the utmost of your power and oppose anything that shall seeme to hinder the same. So helpe you God who is the God of truth and punisher of falsehood." In the same j^ear it was enacted that on the first Tuesday in March, annually, " a Governor and seven Assistants be chosen to rule and gov^rne the said plantacons within the said limits for one whole yeare and no more. And this elecon to be made only by the freemen according to the former custome. And that there also constables for each part and other inferior officers be also chosen." The earliest elections were held on the 23d of March, of the old style, and, in later years, in the month of January, until the above law was passed in 1636. In the revision of the laws in 1658 it was further enacted that " by reason of the unseasonable- ness of the previous times of election the election Courts bee holden the first Tuesday in June annually." The law of 1636 provided that "the Office of an Assistant for the time being consisteth in appearing at the Governor's sumons and in giving his best advice both in publick Court and private Councell with the Governor for the good of the Colonyes within the limits of this Government. Not to disclose but keepe secret such things as concerne the publick good, and shall be thought meet to be concealed by the Governor and Councell of Assistants ; In haveing a special hand in the examination of publick offenders, and in contriving the affaires of the Colony. To have a voice in the censuring of such offenders as shall not be brought to publick Court. That if the Governor have occasion to be absent from the Colony for a short time, by the Governor with the consent of the rest of the Assistants he may be deputed to governe in the absence of the Governor. Also it shall be lawfuU for him to examine and comit to ward where any occasion ariseth when the Governor is absent, provided the pson be brought to further hearing with all convenient speede before the Governor or the rest of the Assistants. Also it shall be PLTMOUTH COLONY. 69 lawful! for him in his Majestie's name to direct his warrants to any Constable within the Government who ought faithfully to execute the same according to the nature and tenure thereof. And may binde over psons for matters of crime to answer at the next ensuing Court of his Majestic after the fact committed or the persons apprehended." The Assistants also were required to take an oath as follows : — " Yee shall all sweai-e to be truly loyall to our sovereign Lord King Charles his heires and successors. Also ye shall faithfully truly and justly according to that measure of discerning and discretion God hath given you be assistant to the Governor for this present yeare for the execution of justice in all cases and towards all psons coming before you without ptiallity according to the nature of the oflB.ce of an Assistant read unto you. Moreover yee shall diligently duly and truly see that the Lawes and Ordnances of this Corporacon be faithfully executed ; and shall labor to advance the good of the several Plantacons witliin the limits thereof and oppose anything that shall hinder the same to the utmost of your power. So help you God who is the God of truth and punisher of falsehood." In the earliest days of the colony there was no provision for a deputy governor. In the law of 1636 the governor was authorized, with the consent of the assistants, to appoint one of their number to govern during his absence, and in 1651 absolute authority was given to the governor " to depute any one of the Assistants whom hee shall think meet to bee in his rome, when hee is ocasioned to bee absent, as a Deputy Gov- ernor." In 1679 it was enacted "that the Deputy Governor be under oath as such and therefore annually chosen," and on the 1st of June in that year Thomas Hinckly was chosen to that office. It does not seem to have been specially provided that one of the assistants should be chosen, but the record of elections shows that ever after, until the union of the Ply- mouth and Massachusetts colonies, in 1692, the deputy gov- ernor was one of the seven assistants required by law. The offices both of governor and assistant were obligatory on the first election of any person, and by a law passed in 1632 a fine of twenty pounds was provided for a refusal of any one 70 PLYMOUTH COLONT. "to hold and execute the office of Governor for his year" and one of ten pounds for a refusal to act as assistant. Until the year 1640 the governor and assistants were chosen at the annual election day by the whole body of associates or freemen. In 1636 a law was passed giving shape to what had probably been a previous practice, pro- viding "that the annuall elecon of officers before expressed (Governor, Assistants and Constables be at a Generall Coui't held in his Majestie's name of England. And that the Gov- ernors in due season by warrant directed to the several Con- stables in his Majestie's name aforesaid give warning to the ffreemen to make their apparance ; and for default in case of apparance at the Elecon before menconed without due excuse each delinquent to be amerced in three shillings sterling." By a subsequent law the freemen were permitted to send their votes for officers by proxy. The whole body of free- men constituted the General Court, and thus the name came into use which has come down to the present day, and is now applied to the legislature of Massachusetts. The freemen were at first the signers of the compact, and such persons as might be added by a majority vote. In 1656 it was ordered that "such as are admitted to bee ffreemen of the corpo- ration ; the deputies of such Townes where such psons live shall propound them to the Court being such as have been alsoe approved by the ffreemen in that towne where such psons live," and in 1658 these words were added : " and upon satisfying Testimony given from the ffreemen of their towne by their deputies such to be forthwith received without any further delay att the same Court where such Testimony is given." In 1658 it was further " enacted by the Court and the Authoritie thereof that all such as shal bee admited free- men of this Corporation shall stand one whole yeare pro- pounded to the Court viz : to bee propounded att one June Court and to stand soe propounded untill the June Court fol- lowing and then to bee admited if the Court shall not see cause to the contrary." In 1674 it was enacted "by the PLYMOUTH COLONY. 71 Court and the authoritie thereof as to the orderly admittance of ffreemen ; first that the names of the ffreemen in each Towne be kept upon Town record ; and that noe mans name shal be brought into the Court to be propounded to take up his ffreedome unlesse hee have had the approbation of the Major part of the ffreemen att home and the same to be sig- nifyed to the Court under the Towne Clarkes hand by the Deputies." In 1658 it was also enacted by the "Court and the authoritie thereof That all such as refuse to take the oath of fidelitie as Quakers or such as are manifest encouragers of such shall have noe voyce in choise of publicke officers in the place where they dwell or shal bee Imployed in any place of trust while they continew such : that noe Quaker Eantor or any such corrupt pson shal bee admited to bee a freeman of this Corporation ; That all such as are opposers of the good and wholesome lawes of this CoUonie or manifest opposers of the true worship of God or such as refuse to doe the Countrey service being called thereunto shall not be ad- mitted ffreemen of this Corporation being duly convicted of all or any of these ; and that if any pson or psons that are or shal bee ffreemen of this Corporation that are quakers or such as are manifest encouragers of them and soe Judged by the Court and of the lawes thereof and such as judged by the Court grosly Scandalous ; as lyers, drunkards, swearers &c shall lose their freedome of this Corporation." Finally, in 1671, it was provided that freemen must be twenty-one years of age, of sober and peaceable conversation, orthodox in the fundamentals of religion, and possessed of twenty pounds of* ratable estate in the colony. Every freeman was required, by the law of 1636, to take the following oath : — " You shall be truly loyall to our soverign Lord King Charles his heires and successors (the state and government of England as it now stands). You shall not speake or doe, devise or advise anything or things act or acts directly or indirectly by land or water, that doth shall or may tend to the destruccon or overthrow of this present plantacons 72 PLYMOUTH COLONY. Colonies or Corporaoon of New Plymonth. Neither shall you suflfer the same to be spoken or done but shall hinder oppose and discover the same to the Governor and Assistants of the said Colony for the time being or some one of them. You shall faithfully submit unto such good and wholsome laws and ordnances as either are or shall be made for the ordering and government of the same and shall endeavor to advance tlie gi-owth and good of the several plantations within the limits of this Corporacon by all due nieanes and courses. All which you promise and sweare by the name of the gi-eat God of heaven and earth simply truly and faithftilly to pforme as you hope for help from God who is the God of truth and punisher of falsehood." As the freemen composed the General Court ■which was the original type and model of the Massachusetts Legislature, so did the governor and assistants form a body which with some change of powers has become the Governor and Council of the present Commonwealth. Under the constitution of Massachu- setts it was originally provided that the " freeholders and other inhabitants of this commonwealth qualified etc shall annually elect forty persons to be councillors and senators for the year ensuing to be chosen b}'^ the inhabitants of the districts into which the Commonwealth may from time to time be divided by the general court for that purpose " and " nine councillors shall be annually chosen from among the persons returned for councillors and senators on the last Wednesday in May, by the joint ballot of the senators and representatives assembled in one room ; and in case there shall not be found, upon the first choice, the whole number of nine persons who will accept a seat in the council, the deficiency shall be made up by the electors aforesaid from among the people at large; and the number of senators left shall constitute the senate for the year." Article 13 of the amendments passed in 1840 provided that nine councillors should be annually chosen from the people at largfe by a joint ballot of the senate and house of representatives, and article 16 of the amendments now in operation, passed in 1855, provided for the choice of eight councillors by the inhabitants of the Commonwealth qualified to vote for governor, each councillor to be chosen PLYMOUTH COLONY. 73 in one of eight districts into which the legislature is required to divide the State at its first session after each decennial census. Thus the State has returned to its ancient custom of choosing a governor and a board of assistants or council by the people, and it is to be earnestly hoped that among the innovations which time and new conditions are bringing about the extinction of this time-honored body may never be numbered. On the 27th of December, 1623, it was ordained by the court that all criminal facts and also all matters of trespasses and debts between man and man shall be tried by twelve honest men to be impanelled by authority. Until 1636 all trials were had in the General Court, but in that year it was enacted that the governor and two assistants might try civil cases involving an amount not exceeding forty shillings, and criminal cases involving a small fine. In the same year it was provided "that a great quest be pannelled by the Governor and Assistants or the major part of them and warned to serve the , king by enquiring into the abuses and breaches of such wholesome lawes and ordnances as tend to the preservation of the peace and good of the subject. And that they present such to the Court as they either finde guilty or probably suspect that so they may be prosecuted by the Governor by all due meanes." These provisions of law relating to trials of causes continued in force until 1666, when it was enacted that civil cases involving less than forty shillings should be tried by the Selectmen, as will be stated hereafter in this narrative. In 1685, when the counties of Plymouth, Bristol, and Barnstable were established, county courts were organized, and, with some exceptions, the judicial powers of the General Court, the court of assistant^ and selectmen, ceased, and became vested in the county associates or judges. Thus far allusion has been made only to the power of the General Court to choose the officers of the colony and conduct trials for breaches of the law. But it also enacted 74 PLYMOUTH COLONY. the laws. Previous to 1636 the number of written and fixed laws was small, — chiefly relating to police and military regulations, the division of lands, and the settlement of estates. In that year, at a General Court held on the 15th of October, "the ordnances of the colony and corporacon being read, divers were fowned worthy the reforming, others the rejecting and others fitt to be instituted and made. It was therefore ordered and agi-eed that foure for the towne of Plymouth, two for Scituate and two for DuxbuiTOW should a« committees for the whole be added to the Governor and Assistants to rectifie and prepare such as should be thought meet convenient, that if approved, they may be put in force the next General Court." This was the first revision of the laws, and, as printed in the records, contains many bearing the date of 1636, which had doubtless been in force for many years. In the earliest years of the settlement, the colony was little more than a voluntary association controlled by a majority, and such laws as ivere enacted related chiefly to necessities and conditions in their colonial life not contem- plated and met by the English code. Such as they were, however, were, until 1639, passed by the whole body of freemen constituting the General Court. One of the earliest enactments of the court of freemen declai-ed " that now being assembled according to order and having read the Com- binacon made at Cape Cod the 11th of November 1620 in the yeare of the raigne of our late Sovereign Lord King James of England, France and Ireland the eighteenth and of Scot- land the fifty-fourth as also our letters Patents confirmed by the honorable Councell his said Majestic established and granted the 13th of January 1629 in the fifth yeare of the raigne of our Sovereign Lord King Charles. And finding that as freeborn subjects of the State of England we hither came indewed with all and singular the priviledges belonging to such, in the first place we thinke good that it be established for an act That according to the due priviledge of the subject aforesaid no imposicon law or ordnance be made or imposed PLYMOUTH COLONT. 75 upon us by ourselves or others at present or to come but such as shall be made or imposed by consent according to the free liberties of the State and Kingdome of England and no otherwise." At the same time it was provided "that the lawes and ordnances of the Colony and for the Government of the same be made onely by the ffreemen of the Corporacon and no others." These laws, apparently passed in 1636, were merely recorded revisions of existing laws, and defined the practice which had prevailed during the previous years of the life of the colony. In these remai'kable enactments is to be found the first declaration of American Independence. The spirit which actuated them once born was destined to be immortal, and to become the guiding spirit of our colonial life. Like the life-giving stream which, starting from the root, flows on through the unseen channels of trunk and branch, never betraying its existence unless brought to the surface by blow or bruise, until it reaches and perfects the flower and fruit of the full-grown tree, it pursued its inevi- table course through the mysterious channels of popular thought, only revealing its presence under the attacks and menaces of despotic hands, until it bui'st on the gaze of the world in the perennial bloom of national independence. It came to the surface when the rude hand of Charles demanded the surrender of the charter of Massachusetts and appointed royal commissioners for the colonies. This act of interference with their domestic afiairs was looked on by the colonists as an invasion of popular rights, and provoked an earnest and successful resistance. It again came to the surface under the uncertain and hesitating menace of the king when the towns and churches of New England were resolved to oppose the coming of a royal governor, and Stuj^vesant sent word to the mother country that the " Colony of Boston " remained constant to its old maxims of a free state dependent on none but God. It again appeared in the revolution of 1689 , when the declaration read from the balcony of the town-house in Boston committed the cause of freedom to God, and called on the 76 PLYMOUTH COLONY. neiohboring colonies to join the people of Massachusetts in all their prayers and acts for the defence of the land. Again it ap- peared in 1701, when the lords of trade declared that the inde- I)endence which the colonies were thirsting for was notorious ; and again in 1705, when it was announced in parliament that the colonies would surely in the process of time cast off their allegiance to England and set up a government of their own. It only needed for its final triumph a more determined effort for its destruction. The plastic hand of King George com- pleted the work. Burdens were to be imposed w^hich could not be borne, taxation without corresponding privileges Avas to be levied, the stamp act was to be passed, the port bill to be enforced, and, finally, the act of reconstruction to be inaugurated before the question was to be settled forever whether despotism or freedom was to rule in the land. As early as 1633 it was found that the office of constable was needed. Up to that time many of the duties which might properly belong to that office had been performed by Miles Standish by virtue of his captaincy. It was now pro- vided that constables should be chosen, and Joshua Pratt was chosen for Plymouth, Christopher Wadsworth for the ward of Duxbury, and Anthony Annable for the ward of Scituate. The word "ward" had no other significance than "division," or "district," and might have been used synonymously with those terms. The constable was required to take the following oath : — "You shall sweare to be truly loyal to our sovereign Lord King Charles his heires and successors (the state and government of England as it now stands) which you shall faithfully serve in the office of a con- stable in the ward of for this present yeare according to that measure of wisdome understanding and discretion God hath given you. In which time you shall diligently sec that his Majcstie's (the) peace comanded be not broken but shall carry the pson or psons offending before the Governor of this corporacon or some one of his Assistants, and there attend the hearing of the case and such order as shall be given you. You shall apprehend all snspitious psons and bring them before the said Governor or some one of liis Assistants as aforesaid. Yon shall duly and truly serve such warrants and give such sumons as shall oe PLYJIOUTH COLONY. 77 directed unto you from the Governor or Assistants before menconed, and shall labour to advance the peace and happiness of this corpoi-acon and oppose any thing that shall seeme to annoy the same by all due meanes und courses. So help you God, who is the God of truth and punisher of falsehood." Nor must we yield to the fanciful claim with regard to constable more readily than to that with regard to captain, that the office was devised in imitation of any English model. It is not the mere name which gives significance to an office. It derives its expression and character wholly from its powers and functions. If the Pilgrims had borrowed a ceremonial or an official method from any English or other foreign custom, no matter what might be the name of the officer associated with them, they might be said to have followed some pre- existing type. But the constable was an officer made neces- sary by new conditions growing out of the gradual develop- ment of the colony. The number of settlers had increased, and a demand arose for increased efforts to preserve the peace. The footpaths of the settlement became cart-ways, and needed repair. The freemen constituting the General Court became scattered, and some one must be delegated to warn them of its meetings. New settlements were effected in Duxbury and Scituate, and needed peace-officers and pound-keepers within their borders. The General Court needed a messenger, rates and fines must be collected, and executions served. To meet these wants, arising naturally in the evolution of government, the office of constable was established, bearing little or no resemblance to any office ever before bearing the name except in Massachusetts, and , receiving the best appellation which the vocabulary afforded. Until 1638 the constable for Plymouth was the messenger of the court, the prototype of the sergeant-at-arms of the Massachusetts Legislature. His duty was to attend the General Courts and the Courts of Assistants, to act as keeper of the jail, to execute punishment, to give warning of such marriages as shall be approved by authority, to seal weights 78 PLYMOUTH COLONY. and measures, and measure out such land as shall be ordered by the governor or government. In addition to the officers already enumerated, the laws provided for the annual choice of a treasurer, secretary, coroner, and assessors of rates, and, in 1634, persons were chosen to lay out highways. It is probable that the colony treasurer included all the towns within the sphere of his duties, as no town-treasurer was chosen in Plymouth until 1695. Collectors of excise were chosen in Plymouth, Duxbury, and Marshfield as early as 1646, and in some towns collectors of ministers' rates as early as 1670, but these offices were short-lived, and were super- seded by others. In 1639 an important change was effected in the govern- ment. At that time Duxbury, Scituate, Sandwich, Yarmouth, Taunton, and Barnstable had been incorporated, and it was found inconvenient for the whole body of freemen to attend the General Court at Plymouth. Since the first settlement in 1620, the grand idea of popular government had been ever uppermost in the mind of the Pilgrims. In this respect there was a wide difference between them and their neighbors of the Massachusetts colony. From the first the governor and assistants of Plymouth were chosen by the people, and the people were the law-making power. In Massachusetts at first the people chose the assistants, the assistants the gov- ernor, and the governor and assistants enacted the laws. Shortly after it was provided that the people should choose the govei'nor as well as the assistants, and this was the first step in Massachusetts towards a full recognition of popular rights. At a subsequent period a General Court was estab- lished, and the governments of the two colonies became homogeneous. In 1639 the General Court of freemen, having become unwieldy in numbers and inconvenient for the at- tendance of the entire body, was made a court of delegates, chosen by the freemen of the various towns in the colony precisely as the representatives of the Legislature were chosen at a later day. The recent departure from this system in the PLYMOUTH COLONY. 79 establishment of representative districts was an unwarrant- able disregard of a principle which secured, what now is lost, the right of every town to a voice in the enactment of laws affecting its interests and welfare. The text of the law lyino- at the foundation of our representative system is worthy of record in this narrative : — " Whereas complaint was made that the ffreemen were put to many inconveniences and great expenses by their continuall attendance at the Courts, It is therefore enacted by the Court for the ease of the severall colonies and Townes within the Government That every Towne shall make choyce of two of their ffreemen and the Towne of Plymouth of foure to be Committees or Deputies to joyne with the Bench to enact and make all such lawes and ordinances as shal be judged to be good and wholesome for the whole Provided that the lawes they doe enact shal be ppounded one Court to be considered upon untill the next Court, and then to be confirmed if they glial be approoved of (except the case require present confirmacon) And if any act shal be confirmed by the Bench and Committees which upon further deliberacon shall prove pre- judicial to the whole That the ifreemen at the next elecon Court after meeting together may repeals the same and enact any other useful! for the whole and that every Township shall beare their Committees charges and that such as are not ffreemen but have taken the Oath of fidelitie and are masters of famylies and Inhabitants of the said Townes as they are to beare their part in the charges of their Committees so to have a vote in the choyce of them, provided they choose them only of the ffree- men of the said Towne whereof they are ; but if any such Committees shall be insufficient or troublesome that then the Bench and thother Committees may dismisse them and the Towne to choose other flEreemen iit their place." The General Court thus established had only the power to enact laws, and even those the freemen might repeal on the next election day. The election of officers still rested with the people, and the first Tuesday in June was declared the annual election day. The provision in the above law that each town should bear the expense of its representatives, and that the General Court should have the power to expel such of its members as were inefficient or troublesome, must have had the wholesome effect of securing for the public service the most competent men. The provision that a law should 80 PLYMOUTH COLONY. }■ lie over from one court to the next before its consideration and enactment, might be adopted to-day as a means of securing to the State better and more stable laws. Our fathers seem to have foreseen the evils of that fickle legisla- tion Avhich now encumbers our statute-book with laws often repealed in the year after their passage, and which nothing but a two-thirds' vote or the approval of two Legislatures, or the provision in the quoted law of the Pilgrims can effectually correct. After 1633, in which year the office of constable was estab- lished for Plymouth, Duxbury, and Scituate, enactments relating to town officers applied to all towns which might at the time have been incorporated in the colony. Plymouth had no formal incorporation, and was at first the colony itself. As new towns were created the government of Plymouth, including the governor, deputy-governor, assistants, general court, coroner, treasurer, secretary or clei-k, and assessors of rates, became the government of the whole colony, which included tlie various towns within its limits, and Plymouth took on the form and character of a town. Its first recoeni- tion as a town was in 1633, when Joshua Pratt was chosen to act as its constable, but at that time its limits were undefined. The first entries in the town records bear no legible date, and define the private marks on the cattle belonging to the inhab- itants. The first dated entry is that of "the last day of March 1637," when it was "concluded that Nicholas Snow should repair the herring ware and divide the herrings." The next entry is as follows : — "At a meeting of the townsmen of New Plymouth held at the governor's house, July 16, 1638, all the inhabitants from Jones River to the Eel River being thereto (warned) to consider of the disposition of the stock given by Mr. James Sherley of London merchant to the people of Plymouth, who had plainly declared by several letters in his own handwriting that his intent therein was M'holly to the poor of the town of Plymouth," it was decided that PLYMOUTH COLONY. 81 for the purposes under consideration, the town should be considered as extending "from the land of Wm Pontus and John Dunham on the south to the outside of New Street on the noi-th." The lands of Pontus and Dunham were in the ' neighborhood of the present farm of Mr. Thomas O. Jack- son, and New Street is what is now North. These limits undoubtedly bounded the settlement at the time of the gift of Mr. Sherley in 1624, and the vote only intended to con- strue strictly the words of the gift, and without establishing any boundaries to the town, as it existed at the time of its passage, to limit the beneficiaries to those Avho would have been entitled to the gift at the tivae it was made. In 1640 "it was enacted and concluded by the Court that the bounds of Plymouth towneship shall extend southward to the bounds of Sandwich towneship, and northward to the little brook running from Stephen Tracy's to another little brook falling into Blackwater from the commons left to Dux- borrow and the neighborhood thereabouts, and westward eight miles up into the land from any part of the bay or sea ; always provided that the bounds shall extend so far up into the woodlands as to enclude the South Meddowes towards Aggawam, lately discovered and the convenyant uplands thereabouts." These limits included the present townships of Plymouth, Kingston, Plympton, Carver, and a part of Halifax. The foundation of the earliest towns was a church. Plymouth itself was settled by a church, and its earliest gov- ernment was doubtless chiefly ecclesiastical, having little to record on its book of civil law. A new church was formed in Duxbury in 1632 ; at a later day another in Marshfield ; and in 1634 a third in Scituate. These churches were the frames on and around which the towns were built, and the incorporation of Duxbury, Marshfield, and Scituate followed in 1637-1640, and 1636, respectively. In some respects the churches and the towns were identical. The towns settled the ministers and paid their salaries, and the treas- urers of the towns collected the parish tax. The original 82 PLYMOUTH COLONY. church of the town formed the territorial parish, and every inhabitant was born into, and was included within its fold. Until 1834 every inhabitant was assumed by law to be a member of the territorial parish, and paid his parish tax to the treasurer of the town until he notified the parish com- mittee in writing that he had attached himself to another. Subsequent to the settlement of the earlier towns by the establishment of a church, companies were formed from time to time which received grants of land from the colony court, and became the "purchasers," or "proprietors," or founders of towns. These grants conveyed, however, nothing more than a pre-emption right, and were not to take effect until the Indians had released their rights and titles by a formal sale. The " proprietors " organized as an association, sold lands to settlers, appointed a clerk, and kept full records of their doings, and, next to the patent of the governor and council for New England, the Indian deeds, and the colony grant, these records lie at the foundation of the land titles of many of the towns in the old colon3^ Purchases of land from the Indians required the approval of the court. The determination to deal fairly and justly with the natural owners of the soil, and the fear that they might be defrauded, led the court in 1643 to pass the follow- ing act, which is worthy of record in this narrative : — " Whereas it is holden very unlawfull and of dangerous consequence and it hatli beene the constant custome from our first begining That no pson or psons have or ever did purchase, rent or hire any lands, herbage, wood or tymber of the Natives but by the Majestrates consent. It is therefore enacted by the Court that if any pson or psons do hereafter purchase rent or hyre any lands, herbage, wood or tymber of any of the Natives in any place within this Government without the consent and assent of the Court Eveiy such pson or psons shall forfeit five pounds for every acre which shall be so purchased hyred rented and taken And for wood and tymber to pay five tymes the value thereof to be leyved to the Colonies use." Lest this law might be misinterpreted and evaded, it was enacted in 1660 that " in reference unto the law prohibiting PLYMOUTH COLONT. 83 buying or hiering land of the Indians directly or Indirectly bearing date 1643 the Court Interpretts those words alsoe to comprehend under the same penaltie a prohibition of any mans receiveing any lands under pretence of any gift from the Indians without the approbation of the Court." And indeed it may be stated here that notwithstanding the title which the Pilgrims. acquired under their various patents there is not a foot of territory within the limits of the old colony to which they did not secure the right from the Indians by purchase or treaty, or by conquest in Phillip's war. After the grants of land and the confirmation of title by the Indians, an act of incorporation was granted by the court and the towns came into being. Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, and Taunton were incorporated in 1639 ; Eehoboth, 1645; Eastham, 1646 ; Bridgewater, 1656 ; Dartmouth, 1664 ; Swansea, 1667; Middleboro', 1669; Bristol, 1681; L,ittle Compton, 1682; Freetown, 1683; Falmouth, 1686; and these, with Duxbury, Marshfield, and Scituate, complete the list of towns within the limits of the old colony incorporated before the union in 1692. The circumstances of their incorporation may be learned from their respective histories. This narrative is chiefly concerned with the development and growth of their govern- ment and of the various offices found necessary from time to- time for the proper administration of their affairs. In 1640 the duties of constable having multiplied, and the highwaysi having largely increased in number and extent, a distinct board of road surveyors began to be chosen. Not long after the rates were apportioned among the towns, and each towvt had its assessors. In 1641 it was provided by the court thai each town should make competent provision for the support of its poor, and- in 1683 it was enacted that the selectmen should act as overseers of the poor in their respective towns. In 1646 the court passed a law requiring each town to appoint a clerk, whose duty it should be to keep a register of the day and year of the marriage, birth, and burial of every mam, 84 PLTMOUTH COLONY. woman, and child within the township. And so the to-\vn governments greiv, but were by no means complete. Their functions and powers were exercised by appropriate depai-t- ments, but there still seemed to be a necessity for a super- intending head, which should have such a jurisdiction and care over the general interests and welfare of the towns as the colonial government with its increasing duties could no longer exercise. This superintending head was found in the " select- men," and with their establishment the town governments in the old colony were finally moulded into the form they wear to-day, with such changes as have become necessary to accommodate them to the progress of society and the chang- ing conditions of the people. Precisely in what year it was provided by the court that a board of selectmen should be chosen it is difficult to determine. The book of colony laws bears the dates for the most part of the three revisions of the statutes in 1636-1658, and 1671, thus attaching to the laws the dates of their revision and not of their passage. The law providing for selectmen is found in the revision of 1671, and as the first election of those officers in the towns then incor- porated took place in 1666, it is probable that the year 1665 was the date of its passage. In 1649, however, the inhabit- ants of the town of Plymouth anticipated the law by the choice of " seven discreet men whose duty it was to act in behalf of the town in disposing of lands ; to make inquiry into the state and condition of the poor, to provide for their comfortable support and to find them employment ; to direct to the proper means of relief for the aged and decrepid ; and to attend to the affiiirs of the town generally." The law which followed in 1665 — " Provided that in every Towne of tliis Jurisdiction there be three or five Celeetmen chosen by the Tovrosmen out of the freemen such as shal be approved by the Court;, for the better managing of the afaires of the respective Townships; and that the Celect men in every Towne or the major pai-te of them are heerby Impowered to heare and determine all debtes and diflferences arising between pson and pson within theire respective Townshipes not exceeding forty shillings; as also they are PLYMOUTH COLONY. 85 heerby Impowered to heare and determine all Differences arising betwixt any Indians and the English of their respective Townshipes about damage done in come by the cowes swine or any other beastes belonging to the Inhabitants of the said respective Townshipes ; and that the determination of the abovesaid Diflferencies not being satisfied as was agreed, the party wronged to repaire to some Magistrate for a warrant to recover such award by distraint ; It is further enacted by the Court That the said Celect men in every Township approved by the Court or any of them shall have power to give forth sumons in his Majesties name to require any pson complained of to Attend the hearing of the case and to sumon witnesses to give Testimony upon that account and to deter- mine of the controversyes according to legall evidence ; and that the psons complaining shall serve the sumons themselves upon the psons complained against ; and in the case of their non appearance to proceed on notwithstanding in the hearing and determination of such controver- syes as comes before them ; and to have twelve pence apiece for every award they agree upon." The origin of the title " Selectmen " it is difficult to determine. It may possibly be referred to the tun-gerefa of the old Anglo-Saxon township, who, with "the four best men," was the legal representatives of the community or to the " probi homines " of more ancient times. The prefix " select " would seem to indicate the best, the most approved, but, as in the Massachusetts Colony, they were called, as early as 1642, "selected townsmen," it is probable that without reference to any historic type they were merely the men appointed, chosen, selected from the townsmen, to have charge of town affairs. At a later period of the colony the office of Tithingman seems to have been established, but its precise functions have never been satisfactorily defined. It is first mentioned in the laws of 1682, " with reference to the Indians for their better regulateing and that they may be brought to live orderly, soberly and diligetnly." " First it is enacted by this Court and the authoritie thereof in each Towne of this Jurisdiction where Indians live ; some one able discreet man bo appointed by the Court of assistants from time to time as often as need shall require to take the oversight and government of the Indians 86 PLTMOUTH COLONY. in the said Towne according to such lawes orders and instructions as are or shall be made and given by the General Court. It is ordered by the Court that the said overseer with the Tithingmen in that Towne shall have power to heare and determine all causes that may happen betwixt Indian and Indian Capitalls and titles unto lands onely excepted alwaies allowing liberty of appeale to any pty greived atttheire Judgment to the Court of Assistants. It is enacted by the Court; that the said overseer shall have power by warrant under his hand to command any English Constable in his Town- ship and all Indian Constables whatsoever to arrest attach summons and serve executions on the body or goods of any of the Indians for any matter or cause tliat msiy in his Court be heard and detemined ; That in each towne where Indians doe reside eveiy tenth Indian shal be chosen by the Court of Assistants or said overseer yeerly whoe shall take the inspection care and oversight of his nine men and present theire faults and misdemenors to tlie ovei-seer which said overseer shall keep a list of the names of the said Tithingmen and those they shall have the charge of and the said Tithingmen shall be joyned to the overseers in the administration of Justice and in hearing and determining of causes, and in case the tythingmen do not agree with the overseer in any case tliat may come before tliem in judgment tlien the said overseer shall have negative voyce and such case shall be removed to be determined by the Court of Assistants. That the overseer and tithyng men shall appoint Constables of the Indians yeerly who shall attend their Courts and the said Constables shall obey all the warrants of the overseer on such penalty as the Court of Assistants shall inflict." The above is the only reference in the laws of the Plymouth Colony to an office which afterwards played an interesting part in the provincial history of Massachusetts. Many of the present generation have the impression that tithingmen were the collectors of tithes or tentlis, which in ancient times were paid either voluntarily, or under enforcement, for the main- tenance of worship, or the support of the poor. The origin of the name is to be found, however, in tenths of population, and not in tenths of estates, in " tithing " and not in " tithes." A Saxon tithing consisted of ten families, and ten tithings made up the "hundred." In the old Colony though the "hundred" was not revived, it was found desirable in the management of the Indians to make their inspection and PLYMOUTH COLONY. 87 government as rigid as possible, and consequently the number of families under the oversight of one man was placed at the convenient number of ten, and the officer in charee was naturally called a tithing or tenth man. It was an old name applied to a new office, created to meet new conditions and exigencies in the life of the colony. So far as the Plymouth Colony was concerned it was an office established solely for the government of the Indians, and had no connection either with the general government of its towns, or, as in later times, with their ecclesiastical afiairs. They were Indians appointed by the Court of Assistants, and not chosen by the people in their town meetings ; and in addition to their ordinary police duties, they performed the functions of a judiciary, and, in connection with the Indian overseer, also appointed by the Court of Assistants, constituted a petty court, in which Indian cases were tried, subject to an appeal by the overseer to a higher court. After the union of the colonies a law was passed, in 1692, by the General Court of Massachusetts requiring tithingmen to be chosen in every town, and their duties were specified as follows : — " All and every person and persons whatever shall, on the Lord's day, carefully apply themselves to duties of religion and piety publicly and privately, and no tradesman, artificer, laborer, or other person whatever shall upon the land or otherwise do or exorcise any laboi', business, or work of their ordinary callings, nor engage in any game, sport, play, or recreation on the Lord's day, or any part thereof (works of necessity and charity only excepted) upon penalty that every person so offending shall forfeit five shillings. No traveller, drover, horse courser, wagoner, butchei", higler, or any of their servants shall travel on that day, or any part thereof except by some adversity they were belated and forced to lodge in the woods, wilderness, or highways the night before, and in such case to travel na further than the next inn, or place of shelter, upon the penalty of twenty shillings. No vintner, innholder, or other person keeping any public house of entertainment shall encourage, or suffer any of the inhabitants of the respective towns where they dwell, or others not being strangers or lodgers in such houses to abide or remain in their houses, yards, orchards, 88 PLYMOUTH COLONY. , or fields drinking or idly spending their time on Saturday night after the sun is set, or on the Lord's day, or the evening following. All and every justice of the peace, constable, and tithingman are required to take care that this act, in all the particulars thereof, be duly observed, as also to restrain all persons from swimming in the water, and unnecessary and unseasonable walking in the streets or fields." In accordance with this law tithingmen were chosen in Plymouth in 1694, and formed for the first time a part of the municipal government. In 1698 their powers and duties were enlarged by the following law : — " They shall have the power, and it shall be their duty to carefully inspect all licensed houses, and to inform of all disorders or misdemean- ors wliich they shall discovei-, or know to be committed in them, or any of them, to a justice of the peace, or sessions of the peace within the same county, as also of all such as shall sell by retail without license, and other disorders or misdemeanors committed in any such house ; and in like manner to prevent or inform of all idle or disorderly persons, pro- fane swearers, or cursers, Sabbath breakers, and the like ofienders, to the intent such ofiences or misdemeanors may be duly punished and dis- couraged; every of which tithingman shall be sworn before a justice of the peace, or at the sessions of the peace, to the faithful discharge of his office, which tithingmen shall have a black staff two feet in length tipped at one end with brass, and provided by the Selectmen at the expense of the town." After a lapse of years, without any apparent change in the law, the office gradually lapsed into that of a sort of eccle- siastical constable, and its jurisdiction and powers were limited to Saturday evening and the Sabbath. They con- tinued, however, to be chosen by towns at their annual meetings, and a record of their election is to be found on the Plymouth books as late as 1835. It is probable that the gradually changing sentiment of the people with regard to the observance of the Sabbath was aided by the subdivision of the old territorial parish in bringing about the abolition of the office. Persons still living remember, however, those Sunday constables whom they avoided in the illicit Sabbath- walks of their youth, and whose rods they felt if asleep, or guilty of indecorous conduct in church. Professor Adams PLYMOUTH COLOJfT. 89 of Johns Hopkins University, in an intelligent discussion of the origin and nature of the office says, that in some towns the tithingman's rod had a squirrel's tail at one end for the purpose of awaking women sleeping in church, and a deer's foot at the other, to be applied to the heads of the sterner sex. A lady in Plymouth has heard her father say that when ten years of age he was sent by his mother with the family foot-stove to the church one Sunday morning, and told to go to a friend's house before coming home and borrow a book. On his way he met Joshua Thomas, afterwards for many years judge of Probate for Plymouth County, then one of the tithingmen, who arrested him, with the threat of pun- ishing him for being in the streets by compelling him to sit on the pulpit stairs during the morning service. In excusing himself he said that he was on an errand for his mother to borrow a book, but the officer was inexorable until he learned that the book was the life of Abel, when he at once relented, and sent the boy on his way. The office has, during the last forty years, been unknown in New England towns, and with the hog constable, or hogreeve, has disappeared. The latter office, established 1705, and rendered necessary by the large number of swine permitted, by the custom of the times, to wander through the streets, was continued up to a very recent date, but much longer than the exigency of the case required. In its later years it was wholly a sinecure, and usually filled in the humors of a town-meeting by the latest or most conspicuous bridegroom in the village. Those who express surprise that the necessity for such an office should have existed in New England towns within the present century, will scarcely credit the statement, that within twenty-five years it would have been no sinecure in the largest city of the Union. In closing this chapter of our narrative, it will not be out of place to refer to the records of the colony and town from which much of its material has been culled. The records of the Plymouth Colony consist of eighteen manuscript 90 PLYMOUTH COLONY. volumes. Six of these contain all the proceedings of the General Court and of the Court of Assistants, and cover a period extending from 1633 to 1691, with the exception of the time between October, 1686, and June, 1689, covered by the administration of Andros. Until January, 1637, they were kept by the governors of the colony, and are chiefly in the handwriting of William Bradford, Edward Winslow, and Thomas Prence. In 1638 Nathaniel Souther was chosen secretary or clerk, and from that time to 1645 they were kept by him, and are in his handwriting. In 1645 Nathaniel Morton was chosen secretary, and kept the records until his death, in 1685. His successor, Nathaniel Clark, followed in the office by Samuel Spi'ague, completed the six volumes of the Court Eecords of the old colony. Six more of the eighteen manuscript volumes contain a record of deeds of estates after 1626. The first volume opens with a rough plan of "the meersteads and garden plots of those which came first layd out 1620 ; the Falles of their grounds which came first over in the May-Floure according as their lotes were cast 1623 ; the fales of their grounds which came in the Fortune according as their Lots were cast 1623 ; and the fales of their grounds which came over in the shipe called the Anne accord- ing as their lots were cast 1623." These opening entries were made by Governor Bradford in 1627 when the record of deeds was begun, and having been probably made from memory may contain some errors. The deeds as well as the court pro-, ceedings were recorded for the most part by the governors and secretaries of the colony. Four more of the eighteen contain a record of wills and inventories, and were written by the same hands. One more contains the judicial acts of the General Court and Court of Assistants, from 1636 to 1692, in the handwriting of the diiferent secretaries ; the treasurer's accounts from 1658 to 1686 by various hands, and a record of births, deaths, and marriages, in the several towns of the colony as they were returned by the town clerks, subsequent to 1647. The pages containing the records before that date PLYMOUTH COLONY. 91 have been destroyed. The last volume is the book of colony- laws, from 1623 to 1682, and is chiefly in the handwriting of Winslow, Souther, and Morton. Of these volumes, nine, including the six of the Court Eecords, the first volume of deeds, the volume of judicial acts, births, deaths, and marriages, and the volume of laws have been copied and published by order of the General Court, together with the " acts of the commissioners of the united colonies of JSTew England," in two volumes, which, though not strictly records of the old colony, relate to proceedings in which that colony had an interest and performed its part. It is very desirable that the remaining five volumes of deeds, and the four volumes of wills and inventories, written in a hand difficult for an untrained! eye to decipher, should be added to the published list. The former contain the records of purchases of land from the Indians, which really lie at the foundation of nearly all our titles, and the latter open a field for research into the customs and ways of living, in the early days of the colony, which has never been satisfactorily explored. The original records are kept in the Plymouth Eegistry of Deeds. At the time of the union of the colonies, in 1692, they were left in the hands of Samuel Sprague, the last secretary, who retained them until his death, in September, 1710. Immedi- ately after his death, in the same month, the general quarter sessions of the peace, within the county of Plymouth, ordered Nathaniel Thomas to take them into his care and custody, until further orders should be given concerning them. In November following, the Justices of the Peace for the counties of Plymouth, Barnstable, and Bristol, petitioned the General Court to have them " kept and lodged in the town of Plymoiith, which was the head town of the said Colony of Plymouth and where the said Eecords were wont to be kept." On this petition it was ordered, " that the Bookes, Eecords and files of the General Court of the late Colony of New Plymouth be committed to the custody of the Clerk of the Inferiour Court of the County of Plyrnouth for the time 92 PLYMOUTH COLONY. being he dwelling in Plymouth, a perfect schedule thereof being made, with an Indent to be passed for the same to the Justices of the said Court. And that the clerk be Impowred to Transcribe and Attest Copys of the said Eecords for any that shall desire the same upon paying the Established Fees." The records of the town of Plymouth up to the present generation consist of ten volumes, six containing the pro- ceedings of the town at its various meetings, and four devoted to a record of the births, deaths, and marriages. During the present generation, in accordance with provisions of law, the entries of births and deaths and marriages are made in sep- arate books. The record of the proceedings of town meet- ings began in 1638, and was kept until 1645, by Nathaniel Souther, who, as secretary of the colony, acted also as clerk of the town. From 1645 to 1679 they were kept by Na- thaniel Morton, the successor of Nathaniel Souther in the office of secretary. In 1679 Mr. Morton was formally chosen town clerk, in accordance with the law of 1646, which had apparently never been complied with, and from that time to 1685, the year of his death, he continued to keep the records. At the time of his election it was voted "that all acts, orders, grants of land, and all other particu- lars entered in our town book heretofore, shall be authentic and good in law as if they had been entered by a clerk under oath." This vote illustrates the crude methods of the early jcolonial times, when a town by its vote declared its own acts, done in violation of law, legal and valid. From 1685 to 1723 Thomas Faunce, the worthy elder of the church, held the office of town clerk, and kept the records. The volumes containing the births, deaths, and marriages, though opened by Mr. Faunce in 1685, contain entries as early as 1662. Mr. Souther and Mr. Morton, his predecessors, were con- tent, as secretaries of the colony, with the records made by them in the colonial books, and doubtless saw no necessity for duplicating them in the books of the town. Mr. Faunce, acting only as town clerk, opened a distinct book of records, PLYMOUTH COLONY. 93 and added such entries as far back as 1662 as he might have found on memoranda kept by Mr. Morton. Thus the rec- ords of the town, supplemented by the records of the colony, make up a substantially correct, though somewhat incomplete list of the births, deaths, and marriages during the colonial period. These are still further supplemented by the records of the first church, which cannot with safety be overlooked by either the genealogist or historian. 94 PLTMOUXH COLOIST. CHAPTER rV. Church History. — History of Schools. — Fire Department. In such a history of the churches of Plymouth as it is possible to include in our narrative, nothing more than a passing allusion can be made to the English root from which they sprang. The story of the little band of non-conformists, meeting Sabbath after Sabbath in the Manor House at Scrooby, is a familiar oiie. Side by side with that simple faith, enduring courage and fidelity to conscience, which its narration depicts, as the prominent features of the Pilgrim character, there is also disclosed a vein of charity and love, illuminating the whole like the rays of light in a picture, which charm the eye and touch the heart with their warmth and feeling. A community of men and women permeated by the spirit of Christian liberality displayed by their pastor, Eobinson, in his farewell sermon, had no room in their hearts for that bigotry, the father of persecution, with which they have been freely charged. "Brethren," said he, "we are now quickly to part from one another, and whether I may ever live to see your faces on earth any more, the God of heaven only knows ; but whether the Lord hath appointed that or not, I charge you before God and His blessed angels that you follow me no farther than you have seen me follow the Lord Jesus Christ. If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry ; for I am fully per- suaded, I am very confident, that the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy word. For my part I CHUECH msTORr. 95 cannot sufficiently bewail the condition of the Eeformcd Churches, who are come to a period in religion, and will go no farther than the instruments of their reformation. The Lutheran cannot be drawn to go beyond what Luther saw ; whatever part of His will was good, God has revealed to Calvin, they will rather die than embrace it ; and the Cal- vinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that great man of God, who yet saw not all things." This was the spirit which characterized the Plymouth Colonists, chastened and purified as they had been by the fires of persecution and the hardships of exile, until overrun by the narrower Puritan spirit of Massachusetts Bay, the harshness and severity of which, however, it served to mitigate and soften. Before leaving Holland William Brewster was appointed ruling Elder of the church, and during the earlier years of the Plymouth settlement public worship was conducted under his ministrations. Kobinson was not permitted to join his people, the hope being entertained by those in authority in England that without their pastor they might fall back into the forms and faith of the Established Church. It is possible, too, that Brewster, to whom the publication of interdicted books had been traced, was not allowed to bring his printing- press with him, lest New England might become the fountain and source of streams of dangerous doctrine. Robinson, being still considered the pastor of the Plymouth Church, was represented until his death, in 1625, by Brewster, who acted afterwards in his capacity as Elder until 1629, when Halph Smith, who had come over with Higginson in the Talbot in that year, became the first settled minister. In 1624 the adventurers in London, however, had sent over in the Ann with Edward Winslow, on his return from a short visit to England, a Mr. John Lyford, to serve as the minister of the colony. He was soon found to be an unfit man for the position, and was summarily dismissed. In 1628 a Mr. Rogers was sent from England, but as stated by Bradford, it was found " oa trial that he was crazed in his braine, so they 96 PLYMOUTH COLONY. were forced to be at further charge to send him back again the next year." Mr. Smith was a graduate of the University of Cambridge in 1613, and a man of learning. He was by no means, however, as fur advanced as the Pilgrims in the movement of separation from the English Church, and after a ministry of seven years, left their Church in 1636, though he remained in Plymouth several years afterwards, engaged in a controversy with Samuel Gorton, an active religious dis- turber, who, after a short residence in Plymouth, removed to Ehode Island. Up to the time of the close of the ministry of Mr. Smith it is probable that the meeting-house erected, in 1622, on Burial (then Fort Hill), and which, with guns mounted on its top, served the purpose of a fortress as well as church, continued to be used as a place of public worship. It is probable that occasionally the Common-house, at the foot of Leyden Street, was used for worship, and tradition states that in this house Robert Cushman preached the sermon during his short visit in the autumn of 1621, published in London in 1622, which enjoys the distinction of having been the first sermon preached in New England, and being the comer- stone of American literature. In 1637 the first church was erected, which stood on the spot of ground now covered by the tower of Odd Fellows' Hall, and the store of Hatch & Shaw. Mr. Smith, while living in Plymouth, occupied a house standing on a lot south of the present Unitarian Meeting-house, nearly on the site now occupied by Charles P. Harlow. He had lands also granted to him by the court near New Fields, which were appurtenant to his homestead, and intended with that to be occupied by him during his ministry. During the three years of the service of Mr. Smith, from 1631 to 1634, Eoger Williams officiated as his assistant, but finding the atmosphere of Plymouth too liberal for the display of his rigid policy, asked and received in the latter year his dismission, and went to Salem. Mr. Williams •was born in Wales between 1599 and 1603, and, under the CHUECH HISTOET. 97 patronage of Sir Edward Coke, was elected a scholar in Sutton's Hospital (now the Charter House), in 1621, and was matriculated in Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1625, where he took the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1627. He came from Bristol to Boston in the ship Lyon in 1631, and his arrival is noted by Winthrop as that of a "godly minister." The fiction of his persecution by the Pilgrims has been so often repeated that it is difficult now to substitute the true story that the Christian charity, which tolerated in the Plymouth Colony even open adherents to the English Church, offended his bigoted spirit, and drove him to more congenial climes. In 1635, about the time of the close of the ministry of Mr. Smith, John Norton, an eminent divine, landed at Plymouth from the ship Hopewell, and was earnestly solicited to settle as its minister. After preaching a few months he removed to Ipswich and was there ordained. Mr. Norton was born in Starford and bred at Peter House in the Univer- sity of Cambridge, where he received his degree in 1624, After the death of John Cotton he was called to Boston as his successor in the First Church, and died in 1663. After the departure of Mr. NortonPJohn Eayner, a graduate of JMagdalen College, Cambridge, was settled and continued his ministry until 1654. He occupied the house previously occupied by Mr. Smith, deeds of which are to be found in the old colony records, under date of 1641, from Mr. Smith to John Doane, the agent of the church, and from Mr. Doane to Mr. Eayner. The record of title of this estate up to the present time is unbroken. John Rayner, son of the minister, a graduate of tiarvard in 1663, conveyed it in 1667 to George Bonum, whose succeeding grantees will be found in the chapter containing titles of estates. From 1638 to 1641 Charles Chauncy was associated with Mr. Eayner in the ministry, having arrived at Plymouth from England in December, 1637. Mr. Chauncy was bom at Yardly, about thirty miles from London, and baptized in 1592. He was 98 PLYMOUTH COLONT. bred at Westminster School, and took his degree at Cam- brido-e in 1613. He began a clerical life at Marston St. Lawrence, and held the vicarage of Ware from 1627 to 1634. For non-conformity in non-essentials he was driven from this valuable living by Archbishop Laud, and came to New England. He married Catherine, daughter of Kobert Eyrei, who, accompanied by her daughter Sarah, and three sons, Isaac, Ichabod, and Barnabas, came to America with her husband. Two sons, Elnathan and Nathaniel, twins, were born in Plymouth. After three years' service Mr. Chauncy removed to Scituate, where he closed his ministry in 1654 to take the position of President of Harvard College. In this post he died in 1672, at the age of seventy-nine. In Scituate a son, Israel, and a daughter, Hannah, were born, and in various years, from 1651 to 1661, his six sons were graduated at Harvard. Up to this time three churches had been formed out of the parent church, those in Duxbury and Marshfield in 1632, and that of Eastham in 1644. After the departure of Mr. Eeyner there was no settled minister in Plymouth until the arrival of John Cotton, in 1667. During the interval the pulpit was supplied by James Williams and William Brims- mead, the latter a native of Dorchester and a graduate of Harvard, in the class of 1654. Mr. Brimsmead preached five years in Plymouth, from 1660 to 1665, and removed to Marlboro, where he was ordained in 1666 and died in 1701. In 1667 John Cotton, a former pastor at Weathersfield, a graduate of Harvard in the qlass of 1657, and son of John Cotton, of Boston, was settled, and continued his ministry until 1697. During his term of service the old church was taken down, in 1683, and a new one built on substantially the site of the present Unitarian Church. No drawing of this church has been preserved, but it is described as having been forty-five feet by forty on the floor, sixteen feet in the walls, unceiled, with a Gothic roof, diamond glass windows, and a small cupola and bell. Mr. Cotton lived, CHURCH HISTORY. 99 ■while in Plymouth, in the parsonage house, which stood on the spot of ground on the north side of Leyden Street, now occupied by LeBaron's alley and the easterly part of the house of Isaac Brewster. This estate was granted condition- ally to Mr. Cotton by the town in 1673, and afterwards in 1680, without conditions or restrictions, and was finally sold by his heirs after his death. Mr. Cotton left Plymouth in 1697, and died in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1699. In 1696 the church in Plympton was formed under the pastorate of Isaac Cushman, and this was the fourth offshoot from the old church. In 1699 Ephraim Little, of Marshfield, a graduate of the Harvard class of 1695, was settled, and continued his ministry till his death, on the 23d of November, 1723. Mr. Little engaged largely in the purchase and sale of real estate, and occupied several houses during his residence in Plymouth. Among them was a house standing on the site of the Burgess house, at the corner of Training Green, and one which stood on what is now the garden of Albert C. Chandler, on Court Street. He was the first minister who died in Plymouth, and his gravestone may be found on Burial Hill by the side of that of Eev. James H. Bugbee. In 1717, during the pastorate of Mr. Little, the Jones River parish was set ofi", and was the fifth church springing from the Pilgrim Church. The first minister of this new society was Joseph Stacy, a graduate of Harvard in 1719, who was ordained November 3, 1720. On the 29th of July, 1724, Nathaniel Leonard of Norton, a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1719, was ordained as the successor of Mr. Little, and continued his pastorate till 1755, when on account of failing health he asked his dismission, and returned to Norton. In 1731 a church was formed at Manomet Ponds, which, in 1747, settled Jona- than Ellis as its pastor, a graduate of Harvard in 1737. This was the sixth scion of the parent stock, but, in conse- quence of the incorporation of new towns where others were located, became the Second Church of Plymouth, Following 100 PLYMOUTH OOLONT. the career of this church, before proceeding with the history of the parent church, Mr. Ellis was succeeded by Elijah Packard, of Bridgewater, a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1750. Mr. Packard continued his ministry till 1756, and after an interval of thirteen years, was succeeded, in 1770, by Eev. Ivory Hovey, a graduate o^ Harvard in the class of 1735, who had been previously settled in Eochester, from 1740 to 1769. The successor of Mr. Hovey was Seth Stet- son, who was ordained July 18, 1804. At that time the church stood at the fork of the roads opposite the present church, on the westerly side of the main road. The original church, built in 1737, stood on an old road leading from what is now the Taylor estate to the Brook neighborhood, and the ancient burying ground may be found near the estate of Israel Clark. The present chujch was built in 1826. Mr. Stetson was succeeded by Harvey Bushnell, in 1821, who again was succeeded by Moses Partridge, in J1824. Mr. Partridge died in the same year, and was succeeded by Joshua Barret, in 1826, who was followed by Gains Conant. Mr. Conant was succeeded by John Dwight, and Mr. Dwight by J. L. Arms. Charles Greenwood, Daniel H. Babcock, John M. Lord, Sylvester Holmes, S. W. Cozzens, S. W. Powell, Asa Mann, and T. S. Eobie, the last of whom is the present incumbent, complete the list of those who have been engaged in the ministry of this church. Mr. Leonard, during his residence in Plymouth, occupied for a time a house standing on the corner of Court Square, on the site of the Eussell House, and afterwards the house on Leyden Street, now owned by Louisa S. Jackson, which he built. In 1744, during his pastorate, a portion of his society, dissatisfied with the peculiar revival practices encouraged by him, drew off and formed a new eociety. A church was built on the north side of Middle Street, precisely on the site of Spooner's Alley, and Thomas Frink, of Eutland, Vermont, was installed its pastor. Mr. Frink was a Harvard graduate in the class of 1722, and remained in his pastorate four years. CHURCH HTSTOET. 101 In 1749, ho was succeeded by Jacob Bacon, of Keene, New Hampshire, of the Harvard class of 1731. Mr. Bacon con- tinued his services till 1776, when after preaching in what is now Carver eighteen months, he went to Rowley, where he died, in 1787, at the age of eighty-one. In a few years after the departure of Mr. Bacon, the church was abandoned and the society returned to the organization from which it sprang. In the same year in which the church in Middle Street was built, the old society took down the church in Town Square and erected a new one on the same site. The successor of Mr. Leonard in the First Church was Chandler Robbins of Branford, Connecticut, a graduate at Yale, who was ordained on the SOfch of January, 1760. The parsonage house, now owned and occupied by H. W- Weston, was built by the church in anticipation of the advent of, Mr. Eobbins, and was occupied by him until 1788, Avhcn he built the house on the opposite side of the street, now owned and occupied by James M. Atwood, and occupied it until his death, in 1799. In 1794, during his pastorate, a movement was made to form a new society which, frustrated for a time, was renewed in 1801, the year of the settlement of James Kendall of Sterling, as the successor of Mr. Robbins, and resulted in the formation on the 30th of March, 1802, of the Third Con- gregational Society of Plymouth, under an act of incorpora- tion of that date. Before erecting a church this society petitioned the town for permission to build on Training Green, and the report of the committee, to whom the petition was referred illustrates the toleration in earlier times of different shades of belief within the limits of the same church organi- zation. The committee say " that part of the commission, which relates to the sale of Training Green and purchasing a new training field, your committee, after having fully discussed the subject, consider as inexpedient at this time. To comply with the request of the applicants by granting a lot on Train- ing Green, for the purpose mentioned, would, in the opinion of your committee, not only preclude the town under what- 102 PLYMOUTH COLONT. ever circumstances it may be from opposing the prosecution of that object, but would sanction the separation of a small number of persons on principles that do not appear to be sub- stantial and well founded. If religious societies are to be split up into divisions, merely for a variance of sentiment in certain polemic speculations, about which the greatest and best men in all ages of the Christian church have differed, each Christian must consecrate his own dwelling as his sanctuary, for scarcely two of the best-informed Christians can be found precisely to agree on every controverted point." In 1802 the Third Society built their church on the westerly side of the Green, and on the 12th of May, in that year, settled Adoniram Judson as their pastor. Mr. Judson was succeeded in 1818 by William T. Torrey, whose pastorate continued four years. Mr. Torrey was succeeded in 1824 by Frederick Freeman, whose pastorate closed in 1833. Mr. Freeman was followed by Thomas Boutelle, who was again followed, in 1837, by Eobert B. Hall. During the term of Mr. Hall, in 1840, the present church was built and dedicated under the name of " The Church of the Pilgrimage," and a new society formed, called the Society of the Pilgrimage, which name the Third Congregational Church now bears. In 1844 Mr. Hall was succeeded by Chai'les S. Porter, who continued his pastorate till 1855, when he was followed by Joseph B. Johnson. The pastorate of Mr. Johnson termi- nated in two years, and he was succeeded by Nathaniel B. Blanchard, who remained until 1860. In 1861 P. C. Head- ley assumed the supply of the pulpit for a few months, and was followed by W- W- Woodworth, whose services extended to March, 1864. In the autumn of that year, David Bremner Avas installed and remained four years. In 1870 George A. Tewsbury was installed and still remains the faithful and beloved pastor of the church. The Third Congregational Church may be said to have been the parent of three children, the Eel River Church, organized in 1814, of which Benjamin Whitmore was the first minister; CHURCH HISTOEY. 103 the Eobinson Church organized in 1830, and the Episcopal Church established in 1844. Perhaps, however, the latter is an offshoot from the Third Church in no other sense than that Eobert B. Hall, the former minister of that church, and a few of its members, made up the principal part of the new organ- ization. The first introduction of the Episcopal service into Plymouth was in 1755, when, on the 6th of January, the feast of the Epiphany, E. Thompson, under the auspices of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, held a service in what is now the Town House, and the High Sheriff, the Chief Magistrates, and about three hundred citizens attended. The next occasion of a service was about 1832, when George W. Freeman, brother of Frederick Freeman then the minister of the Third Church, afterwards missionary bishop of Arkansas and Texas, preached. On the 18th of August, 1844, Theo- dore W. Snow held a service in Leyden Hall, and on the 15th of November, in that year, a society was formed at the house of Eobert B. Hall, and on the 13th of April, 1846, Mr. Snow was chosen the Eector. On the 3d of October, 1846, the church in Eussell Street was consecrated, and since that time Mr. Snow, Samuel Clark, Thomas L. Franklin, Benjamin F. Cooley, G. W. E. Fisse, Benjamin B. Babbit, Eobert B. Hall, William H. Brooks, John Downey, James A. Sanderson, and J. E. Wilkinson have been its ministers. The church at Eel Eiver, which during the ministry of Mr. Whitmore was divided, is now reunited and enjoying a season of prosperity under the care of Eav. H. B. Jones. The Eob- inson church organized, as above stated, in 1830, survived the pastorate of Charles I. WaiTen, Lucius Clai'k, John Avery, and Cyrus Mann, and after its final dissolution its church, built in 1830, was sold in 1852 to the Methodist Episcopal Society, which now occupies it. Eeturning now to the First Church, from whose history the writer has digressed in the above sketches of its offshoots, James Kendall, of Sterling, was ordained as the successor of Mr. Eobbins on the 1st of January, 1800, and continued in 104 PLYMOUTH COLONY. the pastorate until his death, in 1859. Mr. Kendall was a graduate of Harvard in 1796, and a tutor in the college at the time of his invitation to settle in Plymouth. He occupied the parsonage house on Leyden Street during his entire terra of service, and was its last occupant under the ownership of the church. In 1838 George W. Briggs, a graduate at Brown University, became colleague pastor with Dr. Kendall, and remained in Plymouth until 1852. Mr, Briggs was succeeded by William H. Myrick in 1853, and Mr. Mynck in turn by George S. Ball of Upton. Mr. Ball was followed by Edward H. Hall of Providence, a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1851, and Mr. Hall by Frederick N. Knapp of the Harvard class of 1843. In 1878 Edmund Q. S. Osgood of Cohasset, of the Harvard class of 1875, was ordained, and is still the pastor of the church. In 1831 the church of this society built in 1744 was taken down and the present one built on the old site. The Baptist Society of Plymouth was organized at the house of Heman Churchill, on the 9th of June, 1809. Until its church in Spring Street was built, in 1822, its meetings were held chiefly at Old Colony Hall, in Market Street. Its first minister, Lewis Leonard, of Middleboro', was suc- ceeded, in 1818, by Adoniram Judson, who had then left the pulpit of the Third Church, and Mr. Judson, in turn, by Stephen S. Nelson, in 1820. Benjamin C. Grafton followed in 1823, and was succeeded, in 1829, by Thomas Conant. In 1835 Elisha Cushman was settled, and was succeeded, in 1838, by Horatio N. Loring, who left in 1839. Joseph M. Driver came next in order, and was followed, in 1842, by Ira Person. Adiel Harvey followed Mr. Person in 1845, whose pastorate continued till 1855. In 1856 B. A. Edwards, in 1861 C. C. Williams, in 1862 E. A. Patterson, in 1863 E. Humphrey, in 1868 R. B. Moody, in 1875 B. P. Byram, and in 1880 H. W. Coffin, the present incumbent, complete the Ifst of ministers of this society. In 1861 the church on Spring Street, built in 1822, was burned, and iu 1865 the present commodious church was built. CHURCH HISTORY. 105 The Plymouth branch of the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized December 4, 1842, by Frederick Upham, pre- siding elder, who appointed E. B. Bradford, of Duxbury, preacher in charge, until a preacher could be appointed by the Conference. For some years the meetings of the church were held in Old Colony Hall, the rooms over Bramhall's shoe-store, and in the building now occupied by the high school. In 1843 Plymouth was made a mission station, and Nelson Goodrich appointed preacher in charge. Mr. Good- rich remained until 1845, but for want of a suitable place of worship no preacher was again appointed until 1852, when Lorenzo "White was sent to Plymouth by the Conference, the society having bought, in that year, the church of the Eob- inson society. Since that time the various preachers assigned by the Conference to Plymouth have been Moses Chase, William Kellen, Carlos Banning, Edward H. Hatfield, E. K. Colby, Eobert Clark, Thomas Sleeper, Franklin Gavett, George F. Pool, Henry F. Martin, William Liversey, T. M. House, A. W. Mills, George A. Morse, John W. Malcom, James O. Thompson, F. A. Crafts, J. H. Allen, and the present incumbent, Walter J. Yates. The Universalist Society was formed on the 10th of March, "1822. In August, 1824, Massena Ballou was engaged to preach for six months, and in 1826 the society was incorpo- rated. William Morse followed Mr, Ballou in 1825, and in 1826, after the erection in that year of their church in Ley- den Street, James H. Bugbee was ordained, and continued his pastorate until his death, in 1834. Albert Case succeeded Mr. Bugbee, and was followed by Eussell Tomlinson, who resigned his pastorate in 1867. In 1869 A. Bosserman took charge of the pulpit, and was followed, in 1872, by Alpheus S. Nickerson. In 1874 George L. Smith was engaged to preach, and was succeeded by A. H. Sweetser in, 1877, who was followed by the present pastor, W. W. Hay ward. In 1825 the "Christian Society" was formed, and in 1827 the church was built by them on Pleasant Street, which they 106 PLYMOUTH COLONT. now occupy. Their first minister was Joshua V. Himes, of New Bedford, who was followed by Timothy Cole, George "VV. Kelton, and Elders Baker, Sanborn, and Goodwin. In 1843 the Second Advent Society organized in that year, joined with the Christian Society, and for a timo held Sunday ser- vices with them under the pastoral care of H. L. Hastings. After the lapse of two or three years the Advent Society retired to Odd Fellows' Hall in High Street, where they remained until about the year 1868, for a part of the time under the pastorate of George A. Brown. In 1868, or about that time, they reunited with the Christians, and have con- tinued in the occupation of the church on Pleasant Street, under the name of the " Christian Society." The African Methodist Society was organized in 1866, and until 1871 occupied a building fitted up for a chapel near the grounds of the Plymouth Mills. In the latter year they purchased and converted into a church the gymnasium build- ing near the reservoir, and have occupied it since that time. Their ministers have been William Johnson, Else- more, Ebenezer Euby, Francis, Joshua Hale, D. N. Mason, E. P. Greenwich, Israel Derrick, Isaac Emery, Jere- miah B. Hill, and the present incumbent, Henry Buckner. It only remains to mention, besides the society worship- ping in the church near the Eussell Mills in Eel River, organized by "William Faunce, the Catholic Society, whose church on Court Street was erected in 1874. This society, organized and presided over until his death, in 1879, by James C. Murphy, and afterwards by D. B. Kennedy, assisted by John D. Colbert, is now under the charge of Father P. J. Halley. Next to the church, the most important feature in the life of Plymouth has been its schools. While the Pilgrims lived in Holland, poor in worldly goods, and surrounded by a people with customs and language foreign to their own, they were necessarily charged with the education of their children. Though William Bradford pursued in Leyden the trade of HISTORY or SCHOOLS. 107 fustian-maker, or cotton-weaver, Eobert Cushman and Wil- liam White that of wool-carder, Samuel Fuller that of say or silk-maker, and Edward Winslow and William Brewster that , of printer, they were all undoubtedly men of education and learning, who had, in their voluntary exile, adopted occupa- tions in strong contrast with the positions and professions abandoned in their English homes. The practice of family education they brought with them to the New World, and kept up with conscientious fidelity, until the growth of the colony, and the introduction of new elements into its compo- sition, rendered the establishment of public schools indis- pensable to its welfare and safety. The fact that William Bradford, 2d, and Josiah Winslow, both of whom reached high military and civil honors in the colony, Thomas Cush- man, who became a learned elder of the church, and Samuel Fuller, Jr., Nathaniel Southworth, and Thomas Southworth, were reared under parental education alone, is a proof of its high character, and of the attainments of the fathers and guardians by whom it was conducted. The first allusion in the Old Colony records to schools is under date of 1635, when it was ordered by the Court, "that Benjamin Eaton, with his mother's consent, is put to Bridget Fuller, being to keep him at school two years, and employ him after in such service as she saw good, and he shall be fit for." Benjamin Eaton was a boy eight years of age, the son of Francis Eaton, who died in 1633. His mother married Francis Billington in 1634, and it seems probable that after her sec- ond marriage the court assumed the guardianship of the boy, and undertook the responsibility of securing for him proper training and instruction. The fact that no further allusion to schools is made in the records until 1663 has been accepted by some as a proof that none were established in the colony until that date. To substantiate such an idea, either the order of court concerning Benjamin Eaton must be over- looked, or the words "keep him at school two years" must 108 PLYMOUTH COLONY. be construed to mean "that he naust be instructed in the family," and not sent to a school taught by a regular teacher. It is probable that, before the date referred to, private schools were taught with quite as efficient teachers as the fii'st public schools of a later day, and supported entirely by pay- ment for instruction, instead of in part, as was the case with the later public schools in the colony. In 1663 "it was proposed by the court unto the several townships in this jurisdiction, as a thing that they ought to take into their serious consideration, that some course may be taken that in every town there may be a schoolmaster set up to train up children to reading and writing." At that time there were twelve incorporated towns in the colony, — Plymouth, Duxbury, Scituate, Sandwich, Marsh- field, Barnstable, Yaraiouth, Taunton, Eehoboth, Eastham, Bridgewater, and Middleboro, and it may be assumed that there was no public school in either. No action, how- ever, was taken under this proposition, and in 1670 the court made a grant " of all such profits as might or should annually accrue to the colony from time to time for fishing with nets or seines at Cape Cod for mackerel, bass, or herrings, to be improved for and towards a free school in some town in this jurisdiction, provided a beginning were made within one year of the grant." In August, 1671, John Morton, son of John Morton, of Middleborough, and nephew of Secretary Nathaniel Morton, who was born and had been reared in the colony, repeated an offer previously made, to " erect and keep a school for the teaching of the children and youth of the town to read and write and cast accounts." On the 20th of May, 1672, the town "did agree and unan- imously vote and conclude that theiv lands at Sipican and Agawara, and places adjacent, the profits and benefits thereof, shall be improved and employed for and towards the main- tenance of a free school now begun or erected at Plymouth, and that the profits and benefits thereof shall no way be HISTOEY OF SCHOOLS. 109 estranged from the said use, so long as there shall be occasion to use it for that end and in that behalf." After a short term of service Mr. Morton was succeeded by Ammi Euhamah Corlet, who was a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1670. Elijah Corlet, father of Ammi, was bred at Lincoln College, Oxford, and followed the profession of teacher in Cambridge and other places from 1641 until 1687, the year of his death. This school, first taught by Mr. Morton, though in later years partly supported by a price of tuition, is believed to have been the first absolutely free public school established in New England. In 1673 it was ordered by the court "that the charge of this free school, which is thirty-three pounds a year, shall be defrayed by the treasurer of the profits arising by the fishing of the Cape, until such time as the minds of the freemen be known concerning it which will be returned to the next court of election." In 1674 it was voted by the town that "whereas at a town meeting May 20, 1672, the profits and benefits of the lands at Sipican and Agawam and places adjacent were given towards the maintenance and encouragement of the free school at Plymouth, the town declares that their grant was only of the lands there and thereabouts which were pur- chased by the town of the Indians before the said May 20, 1672, and they do desire and authorize Capt. Bradford the Selectmen William Clark and Joseph Warren to do their utmost to improve the said lands for the attaining of the ends propounded, namely that their children be perfected in reading, when they are entered the Bible, and also that they be taught to Avrite and cj'pher and that which the country expects from the said school." After the term of Mr. Corlet had expired, Moses Hale, a son of John Hale of Newbury, and a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1699, taught the Plymouth school for a year or more, and was succeeded by John Dyer, who kept it a few months during a temporary vacancy. Mr. Dyer was a Ply- 110 PLYMOUTH COLONT. mouth man, who afterwards filled with acceptance the oflaces of assessor, selectman, and town clerk, in which latter office he was the immediate successor of Elder Faunce. At the time of the advent of Mr. Hale it is probable that the receipts from fisheries and the sale of lands were insufficient to defray the expenses of the school, and the following vote was passed by the town on the 3d of July, 1699 : " That the Selectmen shall take care to provide a schoolmaster for the town with all convenient speed, and shall settle him as near the centre of the town as may be with conveniency, and that every scholar that comes to write and cypher and learn Latin shall pay three pence per week, and if to read three half- pence per week, to be paid by their masters or parents, and what shall remain due to said school to be levied by rate on the whole inhabitants in their just and equal proportion." It had previously been voted "that the upper society (which was probably in the westerly part of the town) should have the master one quarter. Eel River another, and that in the next he should be settled no farther south than John Gray's," which was at Eocky Nook. In 1704 the school was again free, and it was voted that there should be a rate upon the inhabitants of the town to defray its expenses. After Mr. Dyer, Josiah Cotton was engaged to teach the school for a term of seven years, and during his administra- tion the first school-house was built. Up to that time the school had been kept by teachers, who had apparently, as indicated by the records, supplied their own room, receiving during a portion of the time a fixed salary, and during the remainder a price agreed upon for each scholar, the deficiency in the amount guaranteed being made up by the town. In 1705 a number of persons became bound to pay twenty pounds per, annum for seven years to support a school, provided it be settled within forty rods of the old meeting-house, and a school-house was built by subscription. In the next year the town voted to buy the school-house for the town use, and chose " Lieut. Nathaniel Morton and John "Watson to take an HISTOEY OF SCHOOLS. Ill account of the charge relating to the building of said house, of them that had erected it, that the money might be paid them partly the summer following." This school-house was built on a lot on the south side of the present Unitarian Church, near the entrance of what is now known as Cooper's Alley. In 1701 the town voted that the interest of money arising from the sale of lands should constitute an inalienable and perpetual school fund. In 1712 this fund had increased to such an extent that an amount of only ten pounds was needed to defray the expenses of the school. What became of this fund it is difficult to learn, but, as it was stated in a report in 1756 on the financial aflfairs of the town, that it had sometimes been suifered to mingle with other town expenditures, it is quite probable that it was finally absorbed by the general wants of the town. Josiah Cotton, who succeeded Mr. Hale as above stated, was the son of John Cotton, for many years the minister of the First Church in Plymouth . He graduated from Harvard in 1698 and became a man of learning and usefulness. He was for many years Clerk of the Courts and Eegister of Deeds, and for a time a preacher to the Indian tribes of Pembroke, Manomet, and Herring Pond, with a salary of twenty pounds, under the commissioners for propogating the gospel among the heathen. He perfected himself in the Indian language, a grammar of which he wrote, and his sermons to the Indians were delivered in their own tongue. He died in 1756 at the age of seventy-six. John Denison, a son of John Denison of Ipswich, and a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1710, succeeded Mr. Cotton, and was followed not long after by John Angier, who was afterwards the minister of East Bridgewater. Mr. Angier was the son of Samuel Angier of Eehoboth, who tnarried Hannah, daughter of President Oakes of Harvard, and graduated at Harvard in 1720. His son Oakes Angier became an eminent lawyer, and was a member of the Old 112 PLYMOUTH COLONY. Colony Club. While Mr. Angler was in Plymouth there were for a time three schools in the town, that in the centre, taught by him, and two at Rocky Nook and Wellingsly, for the establishment of each of which the sum of twenty pounds was appropriated in 1714. Mr. Angier was succeeded by John Sparhawk of Cambridge, who, after finishing his career as teacher, settled in Plymouth as attorney-at-law and prac- tised in the courts many years. He bought in 1734 the house "on Court Street now owned and occupied by Albert C. Chand- ler, which he occupied until his death. In 1744 he was a volunteer in the expedition fitted out for the relief of Anna- polis in Nova Scotia, then threatened by the French under Duvivier, and, returning wounded and sick, died in 1748. Mr. Sparhawk was succeeded in the Central School by Ed- ward Eels, son of Nathaniel Eels of Scituate, and a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1733. He afterwards studied for the ministry and settled in Middletown, Connecticut. Ebenezer Bridge followed Mr. Eels, of whom little is known, except that he was a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1736, and afterwards settled as the minister of Chelmsford. Mr. Bridge w^as followed by Ezra Whitmarsh, a graduate of Harvard in 1733, who had been for many years a preacher and school- master, and came to Plymouth in 1738, at a salary of one hundred pounds per year to teach school and assist Rev. Mr. Leonard in his ministerial duties. He came from Weymouth, where he finally returned and became the proprietor of a well- known tavern having the sign of the three hearts. In 1741 Enoch Ward of Littleton, a graduate of Harvard in 1736, took the school, and was followed by Samuel Gardner, the son of the minister of Stowe, who was also a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1746, and who afterwards settled as a physician in Dorchester. In 1747 it was voted by the town to have three permanent schools, one in the centre and the others at Eel River and Manomet Ponds. In that year Ward Brown of Haverhill, a Harvard graduate of 1748, assumed the charge of the Central HISTOEY OF SCHOOLS. 113 School, and was followed by Thomas Foster, a native of Ply- mouth, and son of Deacon John Foster, who afterwards adhered to the loyal cause, and died, in 1777, at the age of seventy-four. Mr. Foster, who was a graduate of Harvard in 1745, was succeeded by Mathew Gushing of Hingham, a Har- vard graduate of 1739, who afterwards moved to New York, and was followed by Charles Gushing, a graduate of Harvard in 1755, and clerk of the Supreme Judicial Gourt. Joseph Stockbridge of Hanover, also of the Harvard class of 1755, succeeded Mr. Gushing, and after an early death was followed by Nathaniel Lothrop, son of Isaac Lothrop of Plymouth, and a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1756. In 1765 Dr. Lothrop was suceeded by Perez Forbes of Bridgewater, afterwards minister of Raynham, and finally a professor in Brown University. In 1765 it was voted to build a new grammar school- house, and a committee, consisting of John Torrey, Thomas Mayhew, Elkanah AVatson, John Eussell, and John Gotten, chosen to select a situation, reported in favor of the lot on the northerly side of the Unitarian Ghurch, which was long afterwards identified with the High School. The building was at once erected, and the old house on the other side of the church abandoned. Mr. Forbes was the first teacher in the new structure, and was succeeded, in 1767, by John Barrows, of Attleboro, who, after teaching two years, was displaced by the committee, and followed by Alexander Scammel, in 1769, a graduate of Harvard in that year. The friends of Mr. Barrows, indignant at his removal, endeavored to have him reinstated, but as Mr. Scammel was unwilling to release the committee from their engagement except on the payment of four pounds it was finally thought best to ac- quiesce in the new arrangement. Mr. Scammel was a native of Mendon, and after teaching two years in Plymouth removed to Portsmouth, where he carried on the business of surveyor. In August, 1772, he served in some capacity on board the 9.rmed sloop Lord Chatham, bound from the Piscataqua Eiver 114 PLYMOUTH COLONr. to Boston, with plans, reports, and dispatches for the lords of the treasury. In 1775 he was brigade major of the State of New Hampshire, and during the revolution was appointed colonel of the Third New Hampshire regiment. He afterwards rose to the rank of adjutant-general of tlie American army, and at the siege of Yorktown, on the 30th of September, 1781, received a wound from the effects of which he died in the following month, while a prisoner in "Williamsburg, Virginia. A monumental tablet was erected over his grave, bearing the inscription appropriately selected from Hum- phrey : — "Which conquering armies, from their toils retm-ned. Reared to his glory, while his fate they mom-ned." It is somewhat singular that Peleg: Wadsworth, a classmate of Scammel at Harvard, should have been a teacher of a private school in Plymouth at the same time, and should have afterwards shared with him the experiences of revolutionary service, and an almost simultaneous capture by the British, though in a widely distant field of action. The appropriation for schools in 1770 was, for the grammar school, sixty pounds ; the school at Eel River, sixteen pounds, thirteen shillings, find four pence ; and the school at Manomet, sixteen pounds. In 1774 Joseph Crocker, a Harvard graduate of that year, taught the gram- mar school, followed, in 1776, by Ezra Ripley, of the Harvard class of 1776, and in 1781 by Bartlett LeBaron, son of iLazarus LeBaron, of Plymouth, and a Harvard graduate in the class of 1766. Timothy Healy and Joseph and Eleazer Tufts and Nahum Mitchell of Bridgewater, of the Harvard class of 1789, followed immediately after, and their terms of service closed the century. In 1793 a committee was chosen to consider the subject of a female school, and their report in its favor, after a prolonged discussion and violent opposition, in town meeting, was adopted. One opponent of the scheme lamented the prospect of this new departure from long- HISTORY OF SCHOOLS. 115 established methods, declaring that the world would come to a pretty pass, as he termed it, when wives and daughters would look over the shoulders of their husbands and fathers and offer to correct, as they wrote, such errors in spelling as they might commit. In that year there were nine schools in the town, the central grammar school and eight district schools in the various sections of Northtown, West district, Wellingsley, Eel River, Manomet, Cedarville, and Ellisville. The appropriation for the whole was one hundred and fifteen pounds, of which fifty-nine were for the support of the grammar and fifteen for the support of the female school. The female school was kept by the teacher of the grammar school for six months in the year, one hour in the forenoon and one in the afternoon, at the close of the regular daily sessions. In 1798 a school at Half-way Ponds and one at South Ponds had been added to the list, making ten in all, for which, with a population of thirty-five hundred, aa appropriation of eight hundred and fifteen dollars was made. In the year 1800 the town voted to apply the proceeds of the sale of Indian lands to the support of schools, but the- records are silent concerning the amount realized from tbafr source. In 1802 the proceeds of the sale of herrings ia Town Brook were applied to the same object, and contimiedl to be so applied until the fishing right was abandoned t©, th.e- proprietors of the iron works, in 1821. In the same' yam- Eev. Martin Parris was engaged to teach the Central School,. and having bought of Nathaniel Lewis the house on, C&uj?t. Street, now known as the Bank house, made it his residsnce',. The next year, however, he sold it to the Plymouth banfe.^ then recently organized, and occupied a leased house duriiEig^ the remainder of his residence in Plymouth. Iiamediatelly after Mr. Parris, the school was taught by Nathaniel BradK street, of Newbmyport, of the Harvard class of 1795,, saaM Benjamin Shurtleff, of Carver, who, though no* a graduate of Harvard, afterwards received an honorary diegree. Both of them were students in medicine with Dr. James Thacher, 116 PLTMOUTH COLONT. and both were married in Plymouth — Mr. Bradstreet to Anna, daughter of William Crombie, and Mr. Shnrtleif to Sally, daughter of lehabod Shaw. Mr. Bradstreet settled as a physician in his native place, and Dr. Shurtleft' acquired eminence in his profession in Boston, where his son, Nathaniel Bradstreet ShurtlefF, named after his friend, succeeded him. The next teacher of the Central School was probably Alexander Parris, of Pembroke, who was succeeded by fliomas Witherell, a son of Thomas Witherell of Plymouth, wiho afterwards removed to Oakham, and finally to Ware, where he died. After Mr. Witherell, Moses Webster taught for a tiBje, and was succeeded by Eev. Mr. Shaw, who was followed iu turn by Benjamin and Thomas Drew. The Messrs. Drew taught the school together, Benjamin having charge of the lower grade on the main floor of the school- house, and Thomas the higher grade on the platform, at the northerly end of the school-room. This was the first step towards the establishment of what became, in 1826, a High School. Addison Brown, of Harvard, 1826, George W. Hosmer of the same class, and Horace H. Eolfe were the first teachers of the High School under the new dispensation, followed by Josiah Moore and Charles Field, who died in 1888. Mr. Hosmer afterwards married Hannah, daughter of Rev. James Kendall of Plymouth, and was settled as a Unitarian minister in Buffalo for many years, from which place, after a second settlement of a few years in Newton, he removed to Salem, where he recently died. Mr. Eolfe married Mary T., daughter of James Marcy, of Plymouth, and died in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1831. In 1830 the appropriation for schools was twenty-six hundred and twenty-five dollars. About this time the school came into the hands of Samuel R. Townsend, who is now living, in the practice of law, in Taunton. Mr. Townsend was succeeded by Isaac N. Stoddard, then a recent graduate of Amherst, who, with the exception of an interval of a year or two, during which he taught school in New Bedford, con- HISTORY OF SCHOOLS. 117 tinned his connection with the school until the spring of 1841. During the administration of Mr. Stoddard the ap- propriation for schools had reached the sum of thirty-five hundred dollars. In addition to the High School for boys, a High School for girls was established by the town in 1836, and was kept in the lower room of Pilgrim Hall until 1840, by Mary Adams, of Newburyport. In that year the school- house on Russell Street was built, and both of the Hio-h Schools were moved to that building. Miss Adams was succeeded in the management of the Girls' School by Frances Greigg, Almira Seymour, Mary E. Kendall, and Dorcas Maxwell, who, together, covered the time until the present High School for both boys and girls was established in 1850. At the time of the establishment of the Girls' High School, in 1836, intermediate girls' schools were also organized, which became mixed schools at the time of the union of the two High Schools. During the interval which occurred between the terms of service of Mr. Stoddard, the school was taught by Leonard Bliss of Eeho- both, William H. Lord, LeBaron Russell of Plymouth of the Harvard class of 1832, and Robert Bartlett of Plymouth, of the Harvard class of 1836. Mr. Bliss went from Plymouth to Louisville, Kentucky, where he became editor of the Louisville Journal, and was killed in his office by an ofiended reader of his paper. He was the author of a history of Reho- both, which is a valuable contribution to historical literature. Mr. Lord, as is well known, married Persis, daughter of Rev. James Kendall, and was afterwards settled over the Unitarian Church of Southboro. Mr. Bartlett became tutor in Latin at Harvard, and died in 1844, and Mr. Russell has been long a resident of Boston. Mr. Stoddard was succeeded in 1841 by Charles Clapp, afterwards editor of the Quincy Patriot, Jenks, and Philip C. Knapp, and they in turn were followed by John Brooks Beal of Scituate, Thomas A. Watson, and Samuel Sewell Greely, the latter of the Harvard class of 1844. 118 PLYMOUTH COLONT. William H. Spear came next in order, who was followed by J. W. Hunt, who has since continued in the profession of teacher, and is now conducting with success a private school in Washington. During the administration of Mr. Hunt the present High Schopl-hou^e at the Green was bought, and since 1850 has been occupied by a boys' and girls' High School, which in its methods and scope of instruction has more than met the requirements of the laws of the Common- wealth. Before the establishment of this school the school appropriation had reached, in 1849, the sum of seven thousand dollars. In 1850 and 1852 laws were passed by the Legis- lature providing for the abolition of the district school sys- tem, and on the 14th of jVIarch, 1853, the town voted to con- solidate the districts into one, and chose a committee to ap- praise the school property with the view to its possession by the town in accordance with the terms of the statute. The lands and buildings and other property belonging to the dis- tricts were valued at $13,269.25, and paid for by the town by the remission of taxes to the inhabitants of the various districts. In the same year Adiel Harvey was chosen Super- intendent of Schools, and the method of grading the schools was adopted, which with some changes has since prevailed. Mr. Harvey remained in office until 1859, when Charles Burton, the present efficient superintendent, Avas chosen. Mr. Hunt, the last teacher referred to, was succeeded by Frank Crosby, and Mr. Crosby in turn by Edward P. Bates. Admiral P. Stone came next in order, in the year 1855, and remained about five years, when he was enticed to wider and more remunerative fields. George L. Baxter of the Harvard class of 1863, and Theodore P. Adams and Joseph L. Sanborn of the Harvard class of 1867, were afterwards followed by Henry Dame and George W. Minns of the Harvard class of 1836, and Gilman C. Fisher, who retired after a short term of service, and was succeeded by Mr. Burton, who is still at the head of the school, combining the duties of teacher and general superintendent. Since" the HISTORY OF SCHOOLS. 119 consolidation of districts, in 1853, tlie school-system of the town has been rapidly developed and perfected, at an annual cost, which has increased with its growing value and useful- ness. In 1855 the school appropriation was $8,600 ; in 1860, $10,000; in 1865, $12,000; in 1870, $14,000; in 1875, $15,500, and in 1880, $16,000. The shares of the school and dog funds applicable to schools amounted to $448.93, so that the total sum in 1880 available for the support of twenty- eight schools, with eleven hundred and fifty scholars, was $16,448.93. It is of course impossible to include, within available limits, even an outline of th6 history of the schools of the intermediate and lower grades. It is only possible to sketch the growth and development of the leading school, taking that as the crest on the wave of public instruction, which has reached and is refreshing the popular mind. The names of many of the teachers in these schools will readily suggest themselves to the reader. William Bishop, Timothy Berry, Rufus Albertson, Cyrus Holmes, Henry Eobbins, Eastman Sanborne, John A. Burnham, Gov. Chamberlin of recent South Carolina fame, Bethiah J. Austin, Aaron H. Cornish, Lysander Soper, Mrs. Andrew Bartlett, Mrs. William Allen, Pellie M. Eobbins, Gustavus G. Bates, Mrs. N. W. Storer, Mrs. William S. Danforth, Ann L. Cushman, James S. Barrell, Harriet E. Goddard, Francis E. Hovey, Henry B. Holmes, and Pi-iscilla Perkins, are among those of an earlier date, whose names it will not be invidious to mention, to the exclusion of those who have either in the past rendered valuable service or are now active in the field of popular education. But even this superficial record of school history which the writer has attempted to give would be incomplete without some allusion to the private schools, which have always been important auxiliaries in the work of education. Every reader has a tender recollection of the bench and spelling-book of his infant school and realizes that — 120 PLYMOUTH COLONT. " In every village marked with little spire. Embowered in trees and hardly known to fame. There dwells in lowly cot and plain attire A matron old, whom we school-mistress name." Among the earliest of the teachers of these schools were Mrs. Richards, a granddaughter of John Morton, the first teacher of a public school ; Mrs. Kane and Annie Palmer, the last of whom, in 1734, pres9mte,d to the First Church a communion tankard, now owned -by the church and bearing her name with the date of the gift. James AVarren, of the Harvard class of 1776, taught in a house which stood on the site of the house of William S. Danforth; Bartholomew Brown of East Bridgewater, of the Harvard class of 1799, in the house now occupied by Charles T. May; Tabitha Plaskett in the house of Lucius Pratt ; Molly Cobb in an old house on the site of the present house of Nathaniel B. Spooner ; Mrs. Thomas Torrey and Lucy Nicolson in Court Square ; Granny Spooner on High Street ; Patty Weston on North Street ; Priscilla Hammatt in the Dyer House ; Lucy Goodwin where Davis Hall now stands ; Betsey, Priscilla, and Sally Tufts in Town Square ; Ellen Morton in the May house ; Maam Savery at the corner of Howland Street, and Maam Churchill, with her long poplar stick, on Summer Street ; Eebecca Soule in Burbank's Hall ; Miss Lucy Bagnall and Sarah Turner at the foot of Leyden Street, will be recalled with both sad and pleasant memories. It is only necessary to add to the list the names of William P. Lunt of the Har- vard class of 1823, William Whiting of the class of 1833, both of whom married Plymouth wives. George P. Brad- ford of the Harvard class of 1825, George Moor of the Har- vard class of 1834, William G. Russell of the Harvard class of 1840, Hiram Fuller, who, after a season of journalism in New York, became a resident of London; Laura, Dewey, afterwards the first wife of Andrew L. Russell ; Nathaniel Whiting, and Leander Lovell. Those who are familiar with the gravestones on Burial Hill cannot have failed to notice FIKE DEPAETMENT. 121 those of Tabitha Plaskett, one of tlie teachers above mentioned, who died in 1807, and her husband, Joseph Plas- kett, who died in 1794. That of her husband bears the fol- lowing inscription written by his widow : — " All you that doth behold my stone, Consider how soon I was gone. Death does not always warning give. Therefore be careful how you live. Repent in time, no time delay, I in my prime am called away." Mrs. Plaskett also composed the following epitaph for her- self, and requested it to be cut on her headstone : — " Adieu, vain world, I have seen enough of thee. And I am careless what thou sayest of me ; Thy smiles I wish not, Nor thy frowns I fear, I am now at rest, my head lies quiet here." A sketch of the Fire Department of Plymouth will not be out of place in this narrative. The first fire in the Colony of Plymouth occurred on the 24th of Januaiy, 1621, when the Common-House took fire from the lodgment of a spark on its thatched roof and burned to the ground. Up to the present time no serious conflagration has ever visited the town, not- withstanding the compactness of its central settlement, and the combustible materials of which its houses are built. This exemption from disaster is due, partly to the careful and thorough methods which have always characterized the work of Plymouth mechanics, and partly to the wise provisions made by the town in its municipal capacity. For more than a hundred years Plymouth possessed only such means of ex- tinguishing fires as may now be found in towns where houses are scattered and where no water is available except that con- tained in the wells on every man's premises. As the town became gradually more closely built, the attention of its people was called to the necessity of some action to secure greater safety than they had before enjoyed. On the 18th of 122 PLYMOUTH COLONY. March, 1727, a committee was chosen by the town, consisting of Isaac Lothrop, Benjamin Warren, John Dyer, John Foster, Josiah Morton, John Watson, John Murdock, Haviland Tor- rey, John Barnes, and Stephen Churchill, to propose some method of preventing the spread of fire. An inference may be fairly drawn from the passage of the vote, and the words in which it was expressed, that a recent and fresh experience had stimulated the town, but there is nothing in the records, or in deeds of transfer of real estate, indicating that any serious loss had been incurred by fire at that time. Appar- ently in accordance with the recommendations of the com- mittee, the town voted on the 27th of January, 1728, " That every householder shall from time to time be provided with a sufficient ladder or ladders to reach from the ground to the ridge of such house at the charge of the owner thereof; and, in case the owner or owners of such house or houses be not an inhabitant of the town, then the occupiers thereof to provide the same and deduct the charge thereof out of his or their rent on pain of the forfeiture of five shillings per month for every month's neglect, after the tenth day of June next." It was also voted, " That from the first day of March to the first day of December, yearly and every year hereafter, every householder that lives between the house of Deacon John Wood, in Woods Lane, and Eleazer Churchill at Jabez Corner, shall at all times within the limitations aforesaid keep an their house-yards or backsides, nigh to their houses, a hogshead or two barrels full of water, or a cistern to the value of two hogsheads, on pain of forfeiture of the sum of five shillings for every such neglect, it being provided that, not- withstanding this order, any house which stands twenty rods from the highway or Kings road shall be exempt." On the 16th of March, 1752, it was voted to choose a Board of five Fire Wards, and this board was chosen annually after that time until 1835, when the special law was passed by the General Court establishing the Plymouth Fire Department. The members of the board were selected from those who com- PIEE DEPARtMfiNT. 123 bined activity with judgment, and the entire management of fires was placed in their hands, with the power to make sucli regulations as they saw fit. In 1757 a fire occurred, and on the 2l8t of March in that year it was voted, " that Thomas Norringtou, in consideration of his loss by fire, shall have his province, county, and town rates for the last year abated." Where this fire was, and who Thomas Norrington was, the writer has been unable to ascer- tain. There is no such name, either on the record of births, deaths, and marriages, or in the deeds, as the owner at any time of real estate between Cold Spring and Jabez Corner. It is probable, therefore, that he occupied a leased house or store and suffered the loss of either furniture or stock in trade. On the same day, when the above vote was passed, it was voted, "that the town purchase an engine for extinguishing .fires, and that the said engine be of the largest sort, which is called the ' garden engines,' and will throw about fifty gallons in a minute, and that George Watson be desired and em- powered to purchase or procure said engine for the town." This was called the "great engine," and on the 18th of February, 1765, "Gideon White, William Eider, Samuel Cole, William Eickard, Abiel Shurtleff, Zacheus Curtis, Lewis Bartlett, John May, and William Crombie were, at their request, exempted from the performance of all town duties, in consideration of their appointment to manage and attend the fire-engine be- longing to the town, and the pains and trouble it involved." On the 8th of March, 1770, it was voted, "to instruct the selectmen to provide the fire wards with the proper stafis," and in the same year, the records state that the town owned two engines, though the purchase of the second is nowhere mentioned. These two were kept in a house built on county land, at the east end of what was then the court-hoUse and ivs now the town-house. These engines have long since dis- appeared. In 1797, on the 15th of May, it was voted to pur- chase an engine to take the place of the old No. 2, and the selectmen were appointed "a committee to collect what 124 PLYMOUTH COLONT. [ money is subscribed for a new engine, and with that and any money of the town not appropriated to procure a new fire- engine as soon as possible." The selectmen, not having obeyed the instructions of the town, were again instructed on the 2d of May, 1798, to purchase an engine, and in that year bought a bucket-engine, which in 1829 was altered to a suction-engine, and is now Niagara No. 1. On the 6th of April, 1801, the town " directed the select- men to take any money belonging to the town that is not appropriated to any particular purpose, and therewith pro- cure another engine for the town." In obedience to this vote a bucket-engine was bought at the cost of $400, and this engine is now Fountain No. 2. At a more recent date, after the erection of the iron works on Summer Street, Nathaniel Eussell, William Davis, and Barnabas Hedge, the proprietoi's, purchased a small engine for the protection of their establishment, which was formally accepted by the town as a gift on the 5th of May, 1823, and made No. 3. On the 12th of May, 1827, a committee of the town appoint- ed to examine its fii'e apparatus, reported Nos. 1 and 2 in good order, No. 3 needing repairs, and a fourth engine at the Rolling Mill in Eel River in good working con- dition. This last was undoubtedly one of the two first bought jby the town, and was soon after sold or broken up. On the |17th of May, 1828, the town voted that William Spooner, Jacob Covington, and Daniel Jackson be a committee to pro- cure a new engine, and in that year the suction-engine, now Torrent No. 4, was bought. The introduction of this, the first suction-engine into town, was as important an era as that of the first steam-machine at a later day. No. 1 was soon after altered, as has been stated, to a suction-engine, and the paraphernalia and methods of earlier times were abolished. In the next year, 1829, the reservoirs in Town and North Squares were built, followed by that on Training Green in 1834, that on High Street in 1847, riEE DEPAETMENT. 125 and that opposite Pilgrim Hall in 1853. "While the old bucket- engines were in use the scenes at fires were characterized by- great excitement and confusion. In the entry of every house hung leather buckets, handsomely painted, bearing the owner's name and the inscription " nobis vicinis que " for ourselves and neighbors. At the cry of fire the whole population sprang to buckets, not arms, and men, women, and children formed two lines from brook, reservoir, pump, harbor, or well, one line supplying the machines with water, and the other return- ing the empty buckets to the source of supply. There were no lookers-on, all found something to do in one line or the other, or on the brakes ; and after the fire had either been extinguished or burnt out, each owner hunted for his buckets, like spoons at a picnic, as if their recovery were the chief end of life. On the 25th of April, 1836, the town voted to procure still another engine, and in that year the Rapid was bought, and substituted for the old No. 3, which was disposed of. Nos. 1 and 2 — the Niagara and Fountain — were always kept under the old meeting-house of the Unitarian Society until it was taken down, in 1831, when the Fountain was removed to a house on the southwest corner of the Green, and the Niagara to one which stood in the rear of the court-house, south of the county lands. A new house was afterwards built for the Niagara on the town land in Eussell Street, west of the school-house, where it was kept many years. After the purchase of the steam fire-engines these two engines were abandoned, the house on the Green was taken down, and that on Eussell Street moved to Seaside. The Torrent, when purchased, was kept in the town-house for many years, until its present house on Franklin Street was built, when it was moved to the quarters which it now occupies on that street. The Eapid, when bought, was placed in a house on the south side of Summer Street, where it remained until, by a vote of the town, it was moved to Seaside, where it occupies the house which was removed from Eussell Street, as above 126 PLYIiIOUTII COLOXY. mentioned. The house belonging to the Rapid was removed to the rear of town land on Spring Street, and is now used for the storage of the Niagara and Fountain, the two engines bought in 1798 and 1801. These two engines are curious relics of the past, and took their place in the procession on the anniversary of the settlement of Boston, in September, 1880, as the most ancient specimens of engine architecture to be found. In 1835, in obedience to a petition of the town, the Gen- eral Court passed an act establishing a fire department in the town. Under this act the selectmen of the town have annu- ally appointed a board of engineers, with powers and duties specified in the act, who take the place of the fire wards for- merly chosen by the town. The act gives the engineers no control over fires in the woods, but these are , regulated and controlled by a special committee chosen annually by the town. In May, 1870, in accordance with a vote of the town, a steam fire-engine was purchased, and in June, 1874, a second, which, with thirty men each, furnish the chief reliance of the town in case of fire. In addition to the apparatus already mentioned there are two force-pumps under the control of the town, connected with the mills at the foot of Spring Hill and Spring Lane, which can at a moment's notice be put into gear and worked with efficiency in pumping water from Town Brook. The following summary may be given of the total equipment of the town as a means of protection against fire : Six engineers ; two steam fire-engines, with thirty men each; two hand- engines, — the Torrent, with thirty men, and the Rapid, with ten pay and twenty call members ; two hand-engines, in reserve, without men, — the Niagara and Fountain ; one hook and ladder truck, with sixteen men ; four independent hose companies, with six men each ; two force-pumps ; thirty- three hundred feet of hose ; five reservoirs ; and fifty-one hydrants, connected with the street mains of the Plymouth water-works. riEE DEPARTMENT. 127 This record of the history and resources of the fire depart- ment would be incomplete withovit a special allusion to the water-works of the town. In 1796 Joshua Thomas and his associates were authorized to lay pipes in the streets of Ply- mouth, and take water for the supply of the town from a point on the Town Brook, near Deep Water bridge. Under their auspices the old Plymouth Aqueduct Company was organized, which continued to furnish Avater to the inhabitants of the town until the introduction of South Pond water, in 1855. The pipes used by the company were pitch-pine logs, with a bore of from two to four inches, sharpened at one end, and driven into each other. During the last few years of their operation they used iron joints which, like dowels, connected the pipes closely together. The Jamaica Pond Aqueduct Company, which supplied the city of Boston, com- menced operations in 1803, seven years later than Plymouth, and used four parallel logs for their main pipes, two with two-inch and two with four-inch bores, and these were used until 1848, when the Cochituate water was introduced. In 1855, the Plymouth Watei'-Works, constructed under the provisions of several acts of the Legislature, were com- pleted, and the water from South Pond, having a level of one hundred and six and sixteen one-hundredths feet above low- water mark, was let into the pipes. With a daily consump- tion, in the middle of summer, of five hundred thousand gallons, the maximum capacity of the woi'ks, with the pump recently erected, is sixty thousand gallons per hour, or, with continual pumping, one million four hundred and forty thou- sand gallons in the twenty-four hours. In addition to this, a reservoir, built by the town, holds one million five hundred thousand gallons, or a .three days' supply, with a complete suspension of the works. By the aid of the pump an aver- age head is maintained twenty-five feet above the pond, or one hundred and thirty-one feet and sixteen one-hundredths above low-water mark. With such a system of water-works, conducted in the future with the care and judgment which 128 [PLYMOUTH COLONY."' have heretofore characterized its management, ^and with such a fire department to make it effective, the citizens of Plymouth have a right to expect in the future as com- plete an exemption from serious fires as they have enjoyed in the past. BUIOAL HILL. 129 CHAPTEE V. Burial Hill. — Town Brook. — Ancient Names of Localities. — Ancient Streets. It is well known that Cole's Hill was the first burial-place of the Pilgrims, and that in the spring of 1621 the ground was levelled and planted to conceal from the natives the reduced condition of the settlement. The fact that burials were • possible during the winter indicates the extreme mildness of the weather and the comparative freedom of the ground from frost. It is a little singular that in the accounts which have come down to us so little is said of the burial of the dead. Bradford, in his history, speaking of the burial of Governor • Carver, says that "he was buried in ye best manner they could, with some vollies of shott by all that bore arms," and though fifty died before the arrival of the Fortune, on the 9th of November, 1621, no allusion is made to any other burial. It is true that in early times there was no funeral ceremony, the custom of prayers not having been introduced into the ■colony until 1686, but the extraordinary silence of history and tradition on the subject can only be accounted for by the familiarity with which frequent deaths invested the grave, and 'deprived it of its natural impressiveness and solemnity. Whether Cole's Hill continued to be the burial-place after the first winter, and, if not, what spot was used in its stead, is not known. There is no good reason, however, for sup- ■posing that Burial Hill was used for that purpose at a very 'early date in the history of the colony. It is well known that its commanding position induced the erection of fortifica- tions upon it at an early period, and that in the early deeds 130 PLYMOUTH COLONY. and records it is invariably called Fort Hill. The first known allusion to it as a burial-place is in the diary of Judge Sfewall, under the date of March 10, 1698. On that day the judge, while holding court in Plymouth, says " I walk out in the morn to see the mill, then turn up to the gi'aves, come down to the meeting-house, and seeing the door partly open "went in and found a very convenient opportunity to pray." He ■was stopping at the time, as he says, at Cole's tavern, which stood on the site of the house now occupied by Mr. Paty, next below the Baptist Church, and his route -was through Market and Summer Streets to the mill standing on the site of the factory of Samuel Loring, thence up Spring Sti'eet to the hill, and so down the hill to the meeting-house standing bn the site of the present Unitarian Church. In the same year a reference is made to the burial-place as the westerly bound- ary of a lot sold by Nathaniel Howland to Francis LeBaron, and now occupied by Davis Building. The oldest gravestone now standing, that of Edward Gray, bears the date of 1681, two years after the abandonment of the hill for defensive purposes, and there is reason to doubt whether the hill was used for buiials before the close of King Philip's war. At that time the population of the town was about six hundred, and increasing until it reached, at the time of Judge Sewall's visit, about one thousand. During the interval it is fair to presume that the number of interments had been sufficient to cause it to be designated by him the hill of graves. It can hardly be believed that burials had been made for a long series of years before the date of the stone of Edward Gray, in a place set apart and intended to be preserved as a graveyard, without some stone either now standing or remembered by our ftithers or grandfathers. The most probable- theory is that, like Standish and others ■who were buried on their oAvn estates in unknown graves, the early colonists were buried in private lots, where from neglect or indifference either on the part of their descendants, or of strangers who entered into the possession of their lands, fitrisiAL HILL. 131 their graves have been lev^Uiad aiid their motninients dei^troyed. It is true tliat a tradition exists that Major William Bradford, who was buried on the hill, desired to be buried by the side of his father the governor, but as this tradition rests on the authority of Ebenezer Cobb, who was only nine years old at the time of the death of the major, and a centenarian when he made the statement, it should have little weight against the improbabilities surrounding the case. It has been thought also by some that Elder Brewster, who died in Duxbury in 1644, was buried in Plymouth, and consequently on the hill. The old colony records are cited as evidence, in which the the following entry may be found on page 115 of the volume of deeds: "Whereas William Brewster, late of Plymouth, gentleman, deceased, left only two sons surviving, Jonathan the oldest and Love the younger ; whereas the said William died intestate for aught can to this day appear. The said Jonathan and Love, his sons, when they returned from the burial of their father to the house of Mr. William Bradford of Plymouth, in the presence of Mr. Ealph Partridge, pastor of Duxbury, Mr. John Kay nor, teacher of the church at Plymouth, and Edward Buckley, pastor of the church at Marshfield," made an agreement, which follows in the records. It is inferred by those who die this record that the house of Mr. Bradford was in Plymouth, and that the burial also must have been there, as it is not probable that the sons, who lived in Duxbury, and the ministers of Duxbury and Marsh- field would have gone to Plymouth after the funeral if it had been held in Duxbury, where Brewster lived at the time of his death. But it must be remembered that during the year 1644, in which Brewster died, Edward Winslow was governor of the colony, and that it is probable that during that year of freedom from office Mr. Bradford lived on the estate which he owned in Kingston, then, as is well known, a part of Plymouth, and which he was precluded from constantly occupying by the duties of his position as gov- ernor. There is additional evidence in the records, almost 132 PLYMOUTH COLOinr. conclusive, that in that year Mr. Bradford had his residence in Kingston. It has been thought strange that a hill so high, and difficult of access for carriages, should have been selected for a burial- ground. It must be remembered, however, that, until a com- paratively recent date, the hearse was unknown, and that the coffin of the dead was borne to the grave on a bier covered with a black pall. The first use of the hearse in Plymouth was at the funeral of Thomas Pope, father of Eichard Pope, recently deceased, who died on the 6th of July, 1820. The hearse used on that occasion was built for the town in that year, the running part by Stephen Lucas and the box by Joseph Bramhall. In 1S55 or 1856, when a new hearse was bought by the town, the old one, with a new box constructed by Samuel Nelson, was sent to South Plymouth, and there used until the new hearse, abandoned by the town, was sent to take its place. The old one is now housed on the hill, and is simply, what its name originally signified, " a box for the reception of the dead," placed on wheels. Until the use of the hearse became fashionable, or necessary, as population became more remote from places of burial, two sets of bearers officiated at funerals, six called under-bearers, four of whom supported the arms of the bier on their shoulders, giving place, when fatigued, to the other two; and six pall-bearers, whose duty it was to hold the tassels of the pall on the way to the grave, and escort the mourners homo. In the early days of the colony black gloves, white linen scarfs and rings were presented to the bearers, the custom being gradually limited to the gift of gloves, and finally abandoned altogether The earlier funerals were conducted by the sexton of the First, or Plymouth Church, which Avas the old territorial church, presumed to include all the inhabitants of the town. Since the incorporation of the Third Church, in 1802, the sexton has been, for the most part, chosen by the towa, and his fees for burial have been fixed by a town vote. The earliest recorded sexton was Eleazer Eogers, chosen about 1730, and he was BT7EIAL HILL. 133 succeeded by Gershom Holmes, Stevens Mason, Cornelius Holmes, Ebenezer Luce, George Morton, James Morton, and Clement Bates. Clement Bates was chosen in 1831, and though still holding the office, with the duty only of ringing the town-bell, after the burial of thirty-two hundred and fifty persons, he has abandoned the care of funerals to private enterprise. The four gravestones bearing date before 1700 are those of Edward Gray, 1681; William Crow, 1684; Hannah Clark, 1687; and Thomas Clark, 1697. To these may be added that of Elder Thomas Cushman, which has been recently restored to its original bed. When the Cush- man family erected the Cushman monument, in 1858, they removed this ancient stone to give place to the modern struc- ture. When such a neglect of ancient landmarks is shown by those Avho meet together for the very purpose of doing- honor to their fathers, it is not surprising that in the hands of aliens and strangers the graves to which reference has been made should have been levelled and forgotten. The inscription on this stone, which no modern hand can improve or embellish, is the following : — "Here lyeth buried ye body of that precious servant of God Mr. Thomas Cushman, who after he had served his generation according to the will of God, and particularly the Church of Plymouth, for many years in the office of ruling elder, fell asleep in Jesus, December ye 10th 1691 in the 84th year of his age." The five gravestones above-mentioned, with the exception of that of Edward Gray, are English stones, and bear marks of English workmanship. Indeed, most of the stones on the hill up to 1745 are the products of English skill. That of Elder Thomas Faunce, bearing the above date, is made of foreign material, and its letters and carvings are as sharply defined as if cut yesterday. That of Mr. Gray is roughly made of a common, shaky, blue native slate, rudely cut and carved, and considering its material, it has surprisingly survived the ravages of time. The Cushman and Thomas Clark stones are of purple Welsh slate ; that of William Ci'ow of blue slate, 134 PLYMOUTH COLONY. with green veins ; the Hannah Clark and Elder Faunce stones, of clear blue slate, all four hard and fine-grained, and, unlike the grayish slate of a later period, entirely free from moss. Among those supposed to have been buried on the hill is John Howland, who died at his home in Eocky Nook, in 1673, and a few years since a stone was placed by some of his descendants over his supposed grave. The stone is among those of later generations of the Howland family, and the only foundation for the belief that he was buried on that spot is the presumption that he was buried in the ancient ground, and that his descendants were deposited by the side of their ancestor. It is more probable that he was buried on his estate, where, in the cultivation of its fields, his grave was long since levelled, and all signs of it were obliterated. In the summer of 1622 a fort was built on the hill, which, according to Morton, was built of "good timber, both strong and comely, which was of good defence, made with a flat roof and battlements ; on which their ordnance was mounted, and where they kept constant watch, especially in time of danger. It served them also for a meeting-house, and was fitted accordingly for that use. It was a great work for them to do in their weakness and times of want ; but the danger of the time required it, there being continual rumors of the Indians, and fears of their rising against them, espe- cially the Narragansets ; and also the hearing of the great and sad massacre in Virginia." Not a long time before Canonicus, the sachem of the Narragansets, had sent a mes- senger to the Plymouth settlement, bearing the skin of a rattlesnake, filled with arrows, which was interpreted by Tis- quantum, the friend of the Pilgrims, as a warlike challenge. The governor at once, in a defiant spirit, substituted powder and shot for the arrows, and sent it back. But Winslow says in his Eelation: "Knowing our weakness, notwithstanding our high words and lofty looks, we thought it most needful to impale our town ; which with all expedition we accomplished in the month of February, takmg in the top of the hill under BUEIAL HILL. 135 which our town is seated, making four bulwarks or jetties without the ordinary circuit of the pale, from whence we could defend the whole town ; in three whereof are gates, and the fourth in time to be." He further says : "Whereas we have a hill called the Mount, inclosed within our pale, under which our town is seated, we resolve to erect a fort thereon." The fort was repaired and enlarged in 1630-35, and 1642, and finally, in 1676, at the time of King Philip's war, rebuilt one hundred feet square, with palisades ten and a half feet high, and three pieces of ordnance planted within it. After the war its material was sold to William Harlow, and used by him in the construction of a house still standing. In a recent repair of the house its oak posts and beams were laid bare, and disclosed the ancient mortises made in fitting the frame of the fort. An ancient iron hinge was also found, with its eye flattened out, supporting the bricks of the chim- ney, which was probably one of the hinges on which the gate of the fort was hung. Traces may now be seen of the fort of the Pilgrims on the top of the hill, at what was, in the earliest days, the junction of Leyden and Spring Streets, where its guns could command both. In 1643 a watch- house was built near the site of the fort, and a little beneath the surface fragments of the brick used in its construction may still be found. Edward Gray, whose stone has been mentioned as the oldest on the hill, came to Plymouth with his Brother Thomas in 1643. He was then a boy, and, according to a tradition of the family, the two boys were smuggled on board the ship in which they came, and sent to America by friends at home intriguing for the possession of property which rightfully belonged to them. He became a merchant of repute, and a large owner of lands at Rocky Nook, some of which are still owned and occupied by his descendants. Thomas Clark, whose stone has also been mentioned, has been erroneously thought to have been the mate of the May- flower. He came to Plymouth in the Ann in 1623, and, 136 PLYMOUTH COLOXT. though in conflict with the inscription on his stone, he made oath in 1664, in an instrument signed by him, that he was fifty-nine years of age. This would have made him born in 1605, and in 1620 only fifteen years old, altogether too young for the position of mate. But we are not confined to negative testimony on the question. Eobert Cushman, while in England completing arrangements for the embarkation from Holland, in a letter to Eobinson, dated June 21, 1620, says : "We have hired another pilote here, one Mr. Clarke, who went last year to Virginia with a ship of kine." Eecent investigations made by Rev. E. D. Neill have brought to light the fact that Captain Jones, afterwards master of the Mayflower, went to Virginia in 1619 in command of a vessel loaded with kine, and that a man named John Clark was employed by the Virginia Company in connection with Jones in the enterprise. Nathaniel Clark, whose gravestone, bearing the date of 1717, stands near that of his father Thomas, was secretary of the colony after the death of Nathaniel Morton, in 1685. On the arrival of Andros as governor of New England he became one of the royal governor's most willing and offensive tools. The title of Clark's Island, of which Plymouth, in its municipal capacity, had held undisturbed possession since 1638, when all lands within its limits not included in pre- vious allotments were granted by the court to the town, was, with other titles, proclaimed as vested in the king. Clark, who was a member of the council, applied for a grant of the island, and finally obtained it against the remonstrance and resistance of the inhabitants of the town. The original instrument making the grant is now in existence. At this juncture news was received from the mother country of the revolution of 1688, and Andros and Clark were arrested and sent to England. After his release by the king Clark returned to Plymouth, and continued there in the practice of the laAv until his death. Another stone which has derived new interest from the BURIAL HILL. 137 recent novel of "A Nameless Nobleman," is that of Dr. Fran- cis LeBaron. He was surgeon of a French ship wrecked in Buzzard's Bay in 1694, and with the officers and crew was made a prisoner and sent to Boston. ' On his way he stopped at Plymouth, and was quartered for a night at the house of William Barnes, near the Green. It so happened that a lady in the town had on the day of his arrival suffered a severe compound fractui'e of a limb, which the surgeons in charge were about to amputate. Dr. LeBaron, hearing of the case, asked permission to make an examination, and afterwards saved the limb. "With the consent of Lieutenant-Governor Stoughton he settled in Plymouth, and died in 1704, leav- ing a wife, Mary, the daughter of Edward Wilder of Hing- ham, and three sons, James, Lazarus, and Francis. The stone of General James Warren may be found in the Warren lot, surrounded by an iron fence, near the site of thei- fort. He was a descendant from Richard Warren of %m Mayflower. In 1757 he was appointed high sheriff, and heJ'dl the office until the revolution. In 1773 he proposed^ th© establishment of committees of correspondence, and aftejj the* death of Joseph Warren at Bunker Hill was appointed piiGsiH- dent of the Provincial Congress. In 1775, when tbe'armjjc: Avas in Cambridge, he was made paymaster-genera;!, and. afterwards major-general of the militia. After th& adoptioa of the Constitution of Massachusetts, he was for twoi yeaa'S; Speaker of the House of Representatives, and was offered; the; position of Secretary of the Navy, which he decliaed. H& married Mercy Otis, sister of the patriot, and died in Plyco/outhi in 1808. His son James, buried in the same enclosuire-,, was; with Paul Jones in the Bon Homme Richard, and lost a Itmib, in one of his battles. Major Benjamin Warren, a distaBit relative and another revolutionary hero, is buried not £ia' distant, near the fence at the head of Spring Streets Captain Simeon Sampson, still another hero of the revolu- tion, is also buried on the hill. Captain Sampson was born in Kingston in 1736, son of Peleg, grandson of Isaao 138 PLYMOUTH COLONT. Sampson, who married Lydia, daughter of Alexander Standish and granddaughter of Miles. At the beginning of the revolution, when Massachusetts extemporized a navy, he received the first naval commission issued by the Provincial Congress, and was placed in command of the brig Independence, built in Kingston, the first vessel-of-war placed in commission. He made many successful cruises in the Independence, Hazard, and Warren, winning as many victories as he fought battles, until after one of the most bloody contests of the war he was captured by Captain Dawson and held a prisoner in Fort Cumberland, near Halifax, until released by exchange. The sword worn by him in his various battles, and returned to him on his surrender by Captain Dawson in recognition of his gallantry, is in Pilgrim Hall, a fitting companion of the blade of Standish. Other stones Avhich will arrest the attention of the visitor are those of William Bradford, son of the governor, 1704 ; Ephraim Little, the fourth settled pastor of the first church, 1723 ; Chandler Eobbins, 1799, and James Kendall, 1859, the sixth and seventh pastors of the same church ; Zabdiel Sampson, 1828 ; Zacheus Bartlett, 1835 ; James H. Bugbee, the first pastor of the Universalist Society, 1834; James Thacher, surgeon during the revolutionary war, 1844 ; and George Watson, 1800. The chai-acter of the last-named gentleman may be best illustrated by the chaste epitaph on his stone, written by John Davis, author of " Sons of Renowned Sires " : — " No folly wasted his paternal store, No guilt nor sordid avarice made it more ; With honest fame and sober plenty crowned He lived, and spread his cheering influence round. Pure was his walk, and peaceful was his end; We blessed his reverend length of days, And hailed him in the public ways, With veneration and with praise. Our father and our friend." TOWJT BEOOK. 139 Nor must this catalogue be closed without a notice of the grave of that indefatigable antiquary and pure man Samuel Davis, who died in 1829, worthy of the inscription which the same loving hand carved upon his stone : — " From life on earth our pensive friend retires. His dust commingling witli the Pilgrim sires ; In thouglitful walks their every path he traced, Their toils, their tombs, his faithful page embraced; Peaceful and pure and innocent as they. With them to rise to everlasting day." It is unnecessary to enumerate further either the stones on the hill or the inscriptions they bear. The latter are for the most part simple, serious, and appropriate. There are only a few calculated to excite a smile, and to one of these the reader will be glad to turn after his pensive walk among the " Where the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep." It may be found at the westerly end of the hill, in a lot enclosed by an iron fence, on the gravestone of a child one year and seven days old, in whose infant prattle its loving parents must have seen the promise of a hero's life, — " Heaven knows what man he might have been. But we, he died a most rare boy." The various mill privileges on Town Brook will be con- sidered in the order of the dates of their iirst improvement. In the record of the Colony Court for January 8, 1632, there is the following entry : — " Stephen Deane desiring to setup a water worke to beate corne upon the brook adjoining to the towne of Plymouth, for the benefit of the Comonwealth, was referred to the Governor and Councell for answer, who agreed with him upon the following terms : That provided the place he make choyce of were no hindrance to a grinding mill intended heer- after lie might bring his work neere the towne. 2d. That he should receive one pottle out of every bushel for toll and no more. 3d. That in case the said Stephen can beate all the corne that is or shall be used in the Colony, it shall not be lawful for any other to set up a worke of that 140 PLYMOUTH COLONY. kinde except it be for his own use or freely without toll or any other con- sideration whatsoever to give leave to others to make use of the same." On the 2d of January, 1633, it Avas further ordered by the Court, — " That Stephen Deane have a sufficient water-wheel set up at the charge of the Colony consisting of one foot more in depth than that he now useth at or before the 27th of March, the said Stephen finding the iron workc thereunto belonging : in consideration whereof the said Stephen to sur- render up his worke and that right and claim he challength for the beat- ing of corn whenever a grinding mill shall be set up at the order and appointment of the Governor and Council of Assistants.'' These orders indicate that Mr. Deane was already in the use and occupancy of a mill for pounding corn which he wished to bring nearer the town. The old mill was probably at "Holmes' dam," but how early it was built neither history nor tradition states. As the article of corn was, in the early days of the settlement, the chief means of subsistence, it is prob- able that a mill for converting it into an eatable form was one of the earliest establishments of the colony. Mr. Deane came in the Fortune, in 1621, and it is not unlikely that the rudi- ments of the dam now to be seen were laid shortly after his arrival. Under the grant of the court, there can be little doubt that he moved his mill to the site of the upper grist- mill where the factory of Samuel Loring is now located. The old privilege fell into disuse until the early part of the present century, after it had come into the possession of William Holmes, by a deed in 1797 from Jacob Albertson, administrator of Joseph Eider, who had bought it, in 1791, of the heirs of Nathaniel Thomas, M'ho had owned it many years. Mr. Holmes rebuilt the dam and erected a factory, but owing to threatened lawsuits on the part of Nathaniel Eusscll and others, owners of other privileges on the stream, the building was removed before its completion, audits material used in the construction of the house, in the upper part of Summer Street, owned and occupied by Isaac W. Jackson. The new mill erected by IMr. Deane was operated by him MILLS AND MANLTACTOKIES. 141 until his death, in 1633, when it became necessary for the colony to take further action with a view to the continued supply of corn-meal. Consequently, at the July court in 1635,— "It was agreed to be needful to build a mill; and these 4= whose names are underwritten were by ye Courte appoynted to colleete ye money for the building of ye same as also to agree with workmen and order other all things for ye dispatch thereof. Captaine Standish I John Done & Mb. \Vm. Collier | John Winslow." Whatever action the committee may have taken on the sub- ject, it was ordered by the court in March, 1636, — " That Mr. John Jenny shall have liberty to erect a Milne for gi-ind- ing and beating of corne upon the brooke of Plymouth, to be to him and his heirs forever. And shall have a pottle of corne tonle upon every bushel for grinding the same for the space of the two first years next after the milne is erected and afterwards but a quart at a bushel for all that is brought to the milne by others, but if he fetch it and grind it him- self or by his servants then to have a pottle toule for every bushel as before." The mill was erected by Mr. Jenny, as proposed, on the site of the old one. Mr. Jenny had been a brewer in Norwich, England, and was probably specially adapted to the business in which he became engaged. He died in 1644, after which time the mill appears to have been carried on by his son Samuel, until his removal to Dartmouth, in 1683. Up to this date the title to the privilege had never been granted by the colony or town. In that year the following articles of agree- ment were made between the town and Charles Stockbridge of Scituate : — " Whereas the towne of Plymouth have bin many years much dam- nified for want of the right management of their corne mill and having by theire agents made suite to the said Charles Stockbridge, to come and purchase said mill and come and build it as he shall see cause for the good and benifltt of the said towne and himself the said Chai-les Stockbridge coming to Plymouth, on the accounte .abovesaid, the said towne of Ply- mouth have for his encuragemente heerby granted unto the said Charles Stockbridge, the whole use of theire brook or streame commonly called 142 PLYMOUTH COLONY. townc brook, where the old mill now standeth ; to him the said Charles Stookbridge, his heires and assignes for the use of a corne mill or mills as hee or they shall see meet and for no other use noe more than any other townsman ; which said brooke and privilidges said Charles Stook- bridge, his heires or assignes shall have soe long as hee or they shall maintain a sufficient corne mill and miller to grind the towne corn well and honestly for one-sixteenth part of a bushel of corne or gi-aine whicii shall be brought unto the said mill in a fit capassetee to grind; and for the farther incurragment of said Charles Stockbridge heerin, the said towne have paid unto him, said Stockbridge, eleven pounds in silver towards the raising of said mill dame and making a waste water course for the herrings to pass over tlie dam into the pond ; and the said towne by their agents, wliose names are heernnto subscribed, do hereby engage to and with the said Charles Stockbridge and his heires and assignes to be att half the charge of maintaining the said water course successively: namely all that part of it, that is below the said mill dam. In confirma- tion of which articles of agreement abovesaid, the agents for the said towne of Plj'mouth and the said Charles Stockbridge have put to their hands the first of May 1683. Ephraim Mokton, Sen. Signed in presence of Joseph AVauren ISACKE Little Joseph Bartlett John Hathavtay, Chas. Stockbridge." Mr. Stockbridge was a wheelwright by trade, and came in the Blessing from London, in 1(335, with his father, John Stockbridge, who had followed in England the same trade. Before coming to Plymouth he had operated a mill in Scitu- ate, with such success as to warrant his selection by the town. In 1650 his father erected a water grist-mill on the first herring brook in Scituate, which after his death, in 1658, came into the possession of his son, and up to a date since 1831 has remained in the possession of the family. Mr. Stock- bridge died immediately after the erection of the mill in Ply- mouth, and it was sold, in 1684, by his widow, Abigail Stock- bridge, to Nathaniel Church. Mr. Church operated the mill until his death, when it was sold, in 1717, by his widow, Sarah Church, to her son Charles. In 1724 Charles Church sold one-third of the mill to Isaac Little, and two-thirds to Samuel Clark. Mr. Little sold his part in 1730 to John Rickard, who sold it in 1738 to Timothy Morton. From Mr. Morton MILLS AND MANUFACTOEIES. 143 it passed into the liands of Ephraim Spooner, by whom it was sold, in 1788, to Joshua Thomas. Samuel Clark sold one- third in 1724 to Thomas Witherell, and the remaining tliird at the same time to Haviland Torrey. For many years after this date it is referred to in the records as Torrey's mill. In 1758 Eebecca Easdell, to whom the share of her father, Thomas Witherell, had been set off in the division of his estate, sold it to Thomas Mayhew, who sold it to his son Thomas in 1774. In 1778 Mr. Mayhew sold it to George Watson, who thus became one of the owners at that date with Joshua Thomas, above mentioned. The third owned by Mr. Torrey was sold after his death, in 1765, by his son Nathaniel Torrey to Sylvanus Bramhall, who, with George Watson and Joshua Thomas, owned the whole mill in 1788, the date above referred to. In the year 1800 George Watson sold his third to John Watson, from whom it came into the possession of his son Benjamin M. Watson, whose widow, Lucretia B. Watson, sold it in 1838 to the Bobbins Cordage Compan3\ The share of Sylvanus Bramhall descended to his son, Benjamin, who sold it in 1836 to Josiah Eobbins, who sold it in 1838 to the Eobbins Cordage Company. In 1835 the share owned by Joshua Thomas was sold by his widow, Isabella Thomas, to Mr. Eobbins, who sold it also in 1838 to the Cordage Com^Dany, who thus came into the possession of the whole mill and privilege. In 1847 the mill was burned, together with the jenny-house, which the Cordage Company had erected on the same dam, and a larger jenny-house was erected covering both the sites. In January, 1847, a town meeting was called to see what action the town would take to secure its rights in the privilege, in the failure of the com- pany to comply with the conditions of the grant to Mr. Stock- bridge in 1683, which seemed to require the continuance of a grist-mill by him and his assigns forever. At that meeting a vote was passed referring the matter to the selectmen for a full investigation of the rights of the town in the premises. At an adjourned meeting in the following month the selectmen 144 PLYMOUTH COLONY. made an exhaustive report, based on the opinion of eminent counsel, adverse to any and all claim on the part of the town, and after an acceptance of the report, the further considera- tion of the subject was indefinitely postponed. Up to that time, since 1633, for a continuous period of two hundred and thirteen years, a grist-mill had stood on the spot and been in constant use, grinding corn for the inhabitants of the town in accordance with the provisions of the original grant. In 1858 the Robbins Cordage Company sold it to Nehemiah Boynton and others, who sold it in 1860 to Samuel Loring. In 1863 Mr. Loring conveyed it to Leavitt Finney, acting in behalf of the Plymouth Tack and Rivet Company, which com- pany in the same year conveyed it again to Mr. Loring, who has since that time been its sole owner. The next mill built on Town Brook was a fulling-mill, which was built by George Bonum in 1672, immediately in the rear of the house on Mill Lane owned by John T. Hall. In 1694 a grant was made to him by the town of an acre of land on the south side of the brook, and of the stream on which his mill then stood. This mill was sold by Mr. Bonum, in 1703, to Nathaniel Thomas, who obtained permission from the town to move it to a point lower on the stream. It was afterwards moved to the site of the present privilege, at the foot of Spring Hill, where it remained by the side of the old grist-mill, within the memory of many readers. It was operated in its last years by George Sampson, the father of the late Schuyler Sampson, and when homespun cloth went out of use its business ceased and it was taken down. The next dam, in point of time, built on the brook was what is now the dam of the Billington Mills. The stream at this point was in the earliest part of the last century in the possession of Nathaniel Thomas. In 1777 his grandson, John Thomas, sold it, with a leather-mill which had been previously built, to Ephraim Spooner, William Watson, and Sylvanus Bartlett. In 1788 it was 'sold by them to Solomon Inglee, who erected a snuff-mill, and the brick dwelling- MILLS AND MANUFACTOEIES. 145 house now standing which was occupied by him as a resi- dence. In 1805 Mr. Inglee sold it to Isaac Barnes and Benjamin Beal, who sold it, in 1806, to Samuel Spear. In 1809 Mr. Spear sold one-half of the privilege to Nathaniel Eussell and William Davis, who, in connection with Mr. Spear, built a cotton factory in 1812. This factory was run with success until it was burned, soon after the war of 1812, when it was rebuilt, and again burned about the year 1843. After the last fire it was never rebuilt, and having come into the possession of Nathaniel Russell was sold by his son, LeBaron Russell, in 1855, to the Samoset Mills Corporation, by whom the present mill was built for the manufacture of thread. In 1872 it Avas sold by the Samoset Mills to John B. Turner, and converted into a mill for the manufacture of print cloths. In 1879 it was sold by Mr. Turner to John C. Cobb, under whose ownership it is now operated in the same business, by the name of the Billington Mills. At the same time that Mr. Infflee bousrht the last-mentioned privilege of Messrs. Spooner, Watson, and Bartlett, he bought of them that part of the stream where the machine-shop dam belonging to the Plymouth Mills is now located. About the year 1790 Mr. Inglee built a dam at this spot, and erected a forge, at which, within the memory of many readers, the man- ufacture of anchors was carried on. In 1708 Jacob Albert- son, who had obtained possession under an execution against Mr. Inglee, sold it to Anthony Dike, who sold one-half, in 1802, to John King and Ephraim Noyes, and the other half to Nathaniel Russell and others. In 1806 Messrs. King and Noj'es sold their part to the other owners, and Russell & Co. became owners of the whole. Like other property on the stream belonging to the old proprietors of the iron-works, this also came into the sole possession of Nathaniel Russell, and was sold by his son LeBaron, in 1854, to the Plymouth Mills. During its ownership by the old proprietors of the ironworks Oliver Ames came to Plymouth, and leasing a portion of the privilege, engaged in the business of making 146 PLYMOUTH COhOait. shovels. Not being able to secure increased and permaoent accommodations, he moved, after a few years, to North Easton, ■where the enterprise which had its origin in Plymouth has been since conducted with consummate ability and marked success. The next privilege, which is the lower one of the Plymouth Mills, was, before the year 1667, in the pos- session of Nathaniel "Warren, the oldest son of Ki chard "Warren, of the Mayflower. In 1708 the heirs of Nathaniel "Warren conveyed it to his son James, the grandfather of James "Warren of the revolution. In 1736 the second •James "Warren, son of James above mentioned, sold the whole tract to David Turner, and in 1756 Mr. Turner sold it to Thomas Jackson, who sold it again to Mr. Turner in 1762. In 1772 Mr. Turner sold it to William Crombie and John Torrey, and in a division made in 1775 of this and other lands the whole tract was set off to Mr. Crombie. In 1800 Mr. Crombie sold the privilege to Eossiter Cotton, who sold it to Heman Holmes of Kingston, a trader, and Zadock Packard of Bridgewater, a wheelwright, who built a dam and a forge for the manufacture of anchors. In 1801 Mr. Packard sold his share to Mr. Holmes, who sold it in the same year to Barnabas Hedge, who, in connection with Mr. Holmes, carried on the business of the forge. In 1815 ,the privilege and forge were sold to the proprietors of the •iron-works, from whom it came, in 1837, into the sole pos- session of Nathaniel Kussell, and was sold by him, in 1844, to Jeremiah Farris and Oliver Edes, who built a factory for the manufacture of rivets. In 1846 it was sold by Messrs. Farris & Edes to the Plymouth Mills Corporation, which since that time has carried on the business established by its predecessors with satisfactory success. It will be seen by the above record that manufactures were introduced into Plymouth at a late date, and that before the revolution the Town Brook ran almost unobstructed to the sea. And until within a few years the manufacture of no MILLS AND MANUFACTORIES. 147 special article has had its origin within its borders. The business of its people was in early times largely commercial, and was represented, before the war of 1812, by seventeen ships, fourteen brigs, aind forty schooners engaged in foreign trade, and seventy vessels employed in the fisheries. Many of the trades, especially that of the cooper, were stimulated and sustained by the demands of commerce, and gave the citizens of the town abundant employment. In other parts of the old colony, however, manufactures obtained an early foothold, and have always been characterized by ingenuity, skill, enterprise, and success. As early as 1648, in answer to a request of Timothy Hatherly of Scituate, the Colony Court granted him liberty to set up an iron-mill, and for that purpose granted him "all the land lying between the path and the ponds, betwixt Namassakeset and Indian Head Riv- ers, with all and singular the appurtenances and privileges thereunto, to have and to hold unto the said Mr. Timothy Hatherly, with all and singular the appurtenances to him, his heirs and assigns forever, unto the only proper use and be- hoof of him, the said Mr. Timothy Hatherly, to him and his heirs and assigns forever ; provided that the said Mr. Tim- othy Hatherly doe sett the said iron mill to work within the space of three years next ensewing the date hereof, or other- wise the said lands are to return again to the Colony." The Namassakeset River above referred to is the Mattakeeset River in Pembroke, and the mill of Mr. Hatherly was doubt- less erected on the Indian Head River, not far from the "path " referred to, which was the "Massachusetts path," aad which crossed that river at "Luddens" ford, about three- quarters of a mile above the Boston road. Iron-works were also built in Taunton at a very early period, reference to Avhich is made in the record of the court under the date of 1655, when "it was ordered, in answer to a petition pro- pounded by three men belonging to the iron-works at Taun- ton, that they be exempted from training at such time as when their worke is in hand, unless upon some spetiall occa- 148 PLYMOUTH COIiONT. tion of watching that may arise." The first "saw-mill" in the colony was erected on the first herring brook in Scituate, in 1640, by Isaac Stedman, and the first "clothing-mill" on the same brook, by James Torrey, in 1643. The first bricks were made in Plymouth, in 1643, by a Mr. Grimes, probably in the field below Pilgrim Hall, some of which were supplied by him for eleven shillings per thousand for the construction, in that year, of the watch-house on the Burial Hill. The first meeting-house bells made in the country were cast in Abington, by Aaron Hobart, in 1769, under the immediate supervision of a deserter from the British army, by the name of Gallimore, who was a bell-founder by trade. The first cut-nails and tacks were also made in Abington, about the year 1770. It was thought a great advance in the process of manufacturing these articles when Ezekiel Reed of Abington, by a machine of his invention, carried the daily product of one man's work from one thousand nails to eight thousand. At the present time, with the machines invented by Jesse Reed of Kingston, son of Ezekiel, one man can make ten kegs of tenpenny nails, of one hundred pounds each, and turn out a half a million of tacks. The first cannon and cannon balls were also made in Abington, chiefly from bog ore dredged from the ponds in that vicinity. The first ma- chines made for carding, spinning, and roping were made in East Bridgewater, by Hugh Orr, a Scotchman, assisted by Robert and Alexander Barr, whom he invited from Scotland for that purpose. They were allowed, by the General Court of 1786, a gratuity of two hundred pounds for their enterr prise, and further compensation of six tickets in the land lot- tery of that time. The screw-augur was invented by John Washburn of Kingston, and first manufactured in that town. The improved car- wheels patented by George G. Lobdell, a native of Kingston ; the stump-puller, invented by Caleb Bates and Thomas Newcomb, and the incipient harvesting- machine, patented by Samuel Adams in 1805, twenty-eight years before the perfected machine of Obed Hussey, further ANCIENT NAMES OF LOCALITIES. 149 attest the skill of Kingston mechanics. About the year 1830 Timothy Allen of Plymouth invented a machine for making cooper's rivets, and that machine, which was made available for the manufacture of all kinds of that article by the invent- ive skill of Oliver Edes and Nathaniel Holmes, and subse- quently improved by George Rider, Barnabas Churchill, and Henry Seymour, was the rude foundation of a business Avhich now employs thousands of workmen in the manufac- turing States of the Union. Within a few years Lewis G. Bradford, of Plymouth, a man of unusual practical ingenuity, has invented a bedstead joint, constructed of iron, which has secured a firm foothold in the market, and been the means, under able management, of developing a large and increasing business. Other articles might be mentioned which had their birth in the old colony, but the above enumeration is sufficient to show that the colony of Plymouth has always maintained that rank in enterprise and skill which of right belongs to the first settlement in New England. In a delineation of the ancient names of localities in Plymouth, many of them are found to have undergone such radical corruptions that it is impossible to determine their origin.

There was a " Wallen's Wells " near Austerfield, the birthplace of 156 PLY3I0UTH COLONY. Governor Bradford, but if the name merely signified " boiling springs," it would of course have been common. Warken's Cove. — Named after Richard Warren of the Mayflower, who owned the land along its shore. Water Course. — The outlet of South Pond.

Windmill Hill. — The church lot between the roads in the rear of the store of George W. Bramhall. WiNSLOw's Stand. — Probably the same as the following. WiNSLOW's Walk. — An obsolete meaning of " Walk " is pasture, and the name doubtless designated the pasture of John Winslow near jHigh Cliflf. ! Woods' Lane. — The lane to the woods, and so named at an early 'date. Some allusion to the ancient streets of Plymouth will find an appropriate place in this chapter. Before 1633 there were five streets and two lanes laid out within the limits of the town. The first street, as is well-known, was that laid out in 1620, leading from the Fort, on what is now Burial Hill, to the shore, and now called Leyden Street. De Easieres, who wrote in 1627, described it as a "broad street, about a cannon-shot of eight hundred yards long, leading down the ANCIENT STREETS. 157 hill with a street crossing in the middle, northwards to the rivulet and southwards to the land. The houses are con- structed of hewn planks, with gardens also enclosed behind and at the sides with hewn planks, so that their houses and courtyards are arranged in very good order, with a stockade against a sudden attack, and at the ends of the streets there are three jvooden gates. In the centre, on the cross street, stands the Governor's house, before which is a square enclosure upon which four patereros are mounted so as to flank along the streets." In the earliest records Leyden Street is referred to as Broad Street and sometimes Great Street, and at dates subsequent to 1715 as First Street. The second of the five streets was South Street, now Market Street, and the three others. High, now Summer Street, Main and New, sometimes in old deeds called Queen Street, now North Street. The two lanes referred to are Spring Lane, leading from the fort to the spring, now called Spring Street, and Woods Lane, or the " lane leading to the woods," which is now Samoset Street. It is probable that Main Street was laid out before New or North Street, otherwise the latter would have had no connec- tion with the other settled parts of the town. Its ancient name was Hanover Street. It is probable that South or Market Street once extended as a continuation of Main Street by a curved line to the foot of Summer Street, and was changed to its present location in 1684. In 1716 Water Street was laid out thirty feet wide, and its courses from North to Leyden street may be found on the records. In 1725 Jonathan Bryant, a son-in-law of Dr. Thomas Little, who died in 1712 possessed of an extensive tract of land east of Main Street, together with Consider Howland, Isaac Little and Mayhevv Little, sons of Dr. Thomas Little, gave land for laying out the street now called Middle Street, " for and in consideration of the public good, and for the more regular and uniform situation of the town of Plymouth, and to be forever hereafter called King Street." As laid out by them it was fifteo^n feet wide, beginning on Main Street at the 158 PLYMOUTn COLONr. corner of the house built and owned by Mr. . Bryant, and running to Cole's Hill. The southerly line of the street was in the range of land owned by Ephraim Cole on the other corner, next of the parsonage land where the stable now stands, next of land of Eeturn Waits as far as the alley, and next of land of John and James Eickard as far as the easterly end of the street. This street was designated as King Street until the revolution, when it received informally the name with which it was finally christened, by a vote of the town, in 1823. A committee on names of streets reported in that year that the name " King Street, being a condition of the gift of individuals who opened it in 1725, be still continued," but the remembrance of two wars with England was too fresh in the minds of the people for them to recognize this relic of royalty. It would be only a becoming exhibition of re- spect for the declared wishes of our ancestors and a proper compliance with the terms of the gift to restore its ancient name. Ring's Lane is an ancient way, which received no formal name until 1823, when in accordance with the report of the committee above-mentioned it was christened by its ancient name. It originally received its name from Andrew Ring, who came over a boy about 1629, and owned lands in that neigh- borhood as early as 1640. In 1728 Thomas Rowland threw out land for laying out a street from the " Main Road," now Court Street, to the shore and called it Rowland Street. This street, however, was only opened as far as the ropewalks, the extension to the shore having been made about the year 1854. In 1798 James Thaoher threw out land for the opening of a street, which he called Thacher Street. In 1808 this street was extended to Ring's Lane through lands thrown out by Sylvanus Bartlett and Joshua Thomaa, and in 1823 the whole was called High Street, and the name of the old High Street was changed to Summer Street. Until 1823 Court, School, Pleasant, Sandwich, and Water ANCIENT STREETS. 159 Streets had no positive designations, but at that date received the names they now bear. The alleys, of which there are four in the centre of the town, are almost a characteristic of Plymouth. They are common in English towns, but in this country are rarely to be found except in the oldest settlements. The alley leading from Nort,h to Middle Streets, best known as Spooner's Alley, was opened in 1784. That leading from Middle to Leyden Streets, known by past generations as LeBaron's Alley, was opened by Lazarus LeBaron and James Eickard half a cen- tury earlier. The origin of Thomas's Alley and Cooper's Alley is unknown to the writer, but the last cannot be more ancient than that part of High Street to which it leads, and which was opened about 1798. The first allusion in the records to a bridge over the brook at the foot of Spring Hill is under date of 1666, in the laying out of what is now called Sandwich Street. At that time Spring Hill was a steep bank, impassable for travel, and the route to the bridge was by the way of what is now Mill Lane, diagonally across the brook to Sandwich Street. For many years this bridge was a rude cartway raised merely above the tide, with a footbridge a little farther up the stream. In 1716 a way down Spring Hill was first laid out, as stated in the records, " with a convenience to water creatures " at Town Brook, though doubtless, until a much later date, when the bridge was raised and the descent to it made more easy, Mill Lane continued to be used for travel. In 1740 a committee was appointed to rebuild the bridge at a higher level, if they should think best. At various meetings held by the town in 1803, 1804, and 1805 projects for raising and renewing the bridjre were discussed, but no decisive action was taken until 1812, when permission was given to Benjamin Drew and others to build at their own expense an arch bridge of stone, convenient for travel and acceptable to the town. Under this permit money was raised by individual subscriptions, and the present structure, somewhat enlarged a few years since, 160 PLYMOUTH COLONY. M-as built. Pleasant Street, though an old road, and alluded to as such in early deeds, was not made passable for travel until about the time of the erection of the church of the Third Society, now the High School-house, in 1802. In one of the petitions to the town in 1803 for the renewal of the town bridge, as it was called, it was suggested that the new bridge should be built in the direction of the way leading to the new meeting-house, showing, as above stated, that the old way across the brook was a diagonal one connecting Mill Lane with the ancient road, now Sandwich Street. Pleasant Street was opened by private enterprise, and not formally accepti by the town until 1823, when it received the name it no' bears. In the records it is called "the way to the ne meeting-house," " the way to Mr. Judson's house," a- " Judson Street," the latter name being repeatedly used af#- its acceptance by the town under its present name. Ot streets not mentioned in this sketch will be described in thj appropriate place in the chapter on titles of estates. OBER * Joseph ChurchHI.

TH, BOSTON, PL^^^OUTH HARBOR (VI A p orifiL f-ziiL ■Rid , , Wij In 1741 James Hovey, administrator on the estate of Mr. Cobb, sold it to Thomas Witherell, whose son, Thomas Witherell, sold it, in 1767, to John How- ard, Jr. Mr. Howai-d sold it, in 1772, to Thomas Davis, who sold it, in 1782, to Ebenezer Howard. Mr. Howard sold it, in 1804, to Lemuel Drew, who took down the old house, and built that now standing. Fi'om Lemuel Drew it passed to George Drew, his brother, who occupied it within the memory of many readers, and after the failure of George in business it was conveyed, by Jacob H. Loud, his assignee, to Fanny G. Drew, his wife, in 1843, who sold it, two years after, to Granville Gard- ner. In 1853 Mr. G.ardner sold it to John Perkins, who lived in it until his death, a year or two since, and whose family continue to occupy it. The next lot, on which the double house stands known as the Lanman house, was a part of the land sold by the town to Ebenezer Curtis in TITLES OF ESTATES. 205 1718, and has the same record as the last down to its possession by John Howard in 1767. In 1771 James Merritt of Soituate obtained pos- session of it under an execution against Mr. Howard, and sold it, in 1773, to Thomas Jaclison, who sold it to Samuel Lannian in the same year, the fatlier of Peter Lanman, wlio afterwards became its owner, and built tlie house now standing on the lot about the year 1812. After the death of Peter Lanman, it became the property of his sons, Snnnicl and Isaac Lanman, and is now owned by tlie widow of Winslow B. Bradford, daughter of Samuel Lanman, and Andx-ew J. Bradford, who purchased the northerly end of Thomas Lanman, to whom it was given by the will of liis brother Isaac. The next lot, on which tlie Morey house, so called, stands, was granted by the town, in the early part of the last century, to Martha Waite, from whom it passed to Eleazer Rogers, a grandson of Josepli Rogers, who came, with his father Thomas, in the MayHower. The present house, built by Mr. Rogers, though at various times remodelled and rejuvenated, has much of its original material left, and is one of the oldest structures standing in the town. Mr. Rogers sold it, in 1721, to Thomas Phillips, who sold it, in 1723, to Anthony Decosta, of whom the writer knows nothing except that he lived on the estate many years, and that Iiis widow, Joanna, sold it, in 1765, to Samuel Pierce. Mr. Pierce, in 1775, sold the house and land to Samuel Jackson. Mr. Jackson prob- ably occupied it before he moved into the house in North Street standing on the site of the house of Mrs. Isaac C. Jackson in 1784. In 1777 Mr. Jackson sold it to George Dunham of Providence, who sold it to Samuel Rider in 1795. In the same year Mr. Rider sold tlie south lialf to John Edwards, whose widow, with Daniel Doten, her second husband, sold it, in 1812, to William Morey, wliose wife was the daughter of Mr. Edwards. In 1821 Mr. Morey purchased of Samuel Rider the north half, and thus became, as he continues to be, the owner of the whole estate. The next lot, on which the house stands owned and occupied by Johnson Davie, was granted by the town to Ebenezer Curtis, with the condition that he should build a house before the 1st of May, 1712. In that year Mr. Curtis sold the lot to John Murdock, who complied with the conditions of the grant, and built a house, which was undoubtedly held by him as a tenement, as he continued to reside in the house which he had previously built in Town Square. It afterwards passed^ into the hands of Samuel Shaw, who sold it, in 1760, to Ebenezer Robbins. In 1773 it was sold by Mr. Robbins to Thomas Lewis, who sold it, in 1777, to William Holland. Mr. Holland conveyed it to Benjamin Clark in 1801, who mortgaged it back to Mr. Holland, by whom it was sold under a moi'tgage possession in 1807 to Elias Cox, the father of James Cox, now living. Jlr. Cox built tlie house now standing on the lot, and lived 206 PLYMOUTH COLONY. in it during his life, liis heirs selling it, in 1854, to Johnson Davie, its present owner. The next lot was gi-anted by the town about the year 1700 to John Holmes, a son of Nathaniel, who married Patience, a sister of Elder Faiinoe. In 1711 Mr. Holmes sold it to Rev. Ephraim Little, who began to bnild a honse on the lot, and sold it while in frame to Return Waite, who held it until 1723, when he sold it to Dr. Lazarus LeBaron. In 1727 Dr. LeBaron sold it to Cornelius Holmes, who sold it in 1729 to Widow Katharine White. Mrs. White owned and occupied it until 1747, when she sold it to Nathaniel Goodwin, after whose death, in 1771, it was setoff to his son Francis LeBaron Goodwin, who occupied it until 1791, when he sold it to liis mother's brother, Genei'al Nathaniel Goodwin. In the same year General Goodwin sold it to Lemuel Drew, the uncle of Winslow Drew, now living, who took down the old house and built the present one, the south half of which he occupied until 1804. In 1795 Mr. Drew sold the north half to Thomas Bartlett, his brother-in- law, who occupied it until he sold it to David Bacon in 1811. After four years' occnijancy Mr. Bacon sold it, in 1815, to Benjamin Barnes, who sold it in 1824 to Johnson Davie. Mr. Drew sold the south half in 1808 to Thomas and Amasa Bartlett, who sold it the next year to Rufns Robbins. After the death of Mr. Robbins it became the property of his son Rufus, and it was sold by Nathan Hayward, at a sheriff's sale in 1829, to Allen Danforth, who occupied it some years, and sold it in 1844 to Johnson Davie, who thus became, as he continues to be, the owner of the whole estate. The next lot, on which the house known as the Bacon house now stands, in what was called in some of the early deeds "Poverty Row," was granted by the town about the year 1700 to Jonathan Barnes, who sold it in 1711 to Rev. Ephraim Little, and after that time it has the same record as the last down to Cornelius Holmes in 1727. Mr. Holmes sold it in 1728 to John Waterman, who sold it in 1730 to Katharine White, the owner of the adjoining estate. In 1747 Mrs. White sold it to Nathaniel Goodwin, and after the deatli of Mr. Goodwin, in 1771, it was set off to his son George, who held it until 1790, when he sold it to his brother. General Goodwin, who sold it in 1781 to William and Thomas Nelson, who built the house now standing on the lot. In 1785 William Nelson, the grandfather of William H. Nelson, now living, sold the south half to Charles Robbins, the father of the late Leavitt T. Robbins, who sold it in 1798 to his brother-in-law, George Bacon, whose heirs now own and occupy it. The north half remained in the possession of Thomas Nelson and his heirs until its sale within a few years to Epliraim Finney, its present owner and occupant. The next lot, on which the house stands owned and occupied by the widow of William Brewster Barnes, was granted by the town, about the TITLES OF ESTATES. 207 year 1700, to Samuel Clark, a grandson of Thomas Clark, whose gravestone is the oldest on Burial Hill. In 1711 Mr. Clark sold it to Rev. Ephraira Little, his brother-in-law, at which time . a negi-o woman by the name of Mingo occupied it. In 1715 Mr. Little sold it to Manasseh Kempton, probably son of Ephraim, who married, in 1646, Joanna, daughter of Thomas Rawlins. In 1721 Mr. Kempton sold it to Nathaniel Cobb, who built a house on the lot and occupied it until 1730, when he sold it to Samuel Doty. Samuel Doten, the son of Samuel Doty, mortgaged it in 1768 to Samuel Jackson, who conveyed it under his mortgage to Samuel Doten the third, the son of the last Samuel, in 1779. Mr. Doten occu- pied it until 1793, when he sold it to Job Brewster, who lived in it until his death, when it passed into the possession of his daughter Jane, the wife of Joseph Barnes, who took down the old house and built the one now standing. At the death of Mr. Barnes it came into the possession of his son, William Brewster Barnes, whose widow now occupies it. Readers will notice that the above estate was owned and occupied fi'om 1730 to 1793 by three generations of Samuel Dotens. The first Samuel was son of Edward Doty, who maiTied, in 1663, Sarah, sister of Elder Faunce and grandson of Edward Doty of the Mayflower. He spelled his name like his father, but his son adopted the name of Doten, which has been fi-om that time retained by that branch of the family. The next lot, on which the house stands now owned and occupied by James Collins, w^as laid out with the adjoining Barnes lot, in 1707, to Samuel Clark, who sold it in 1711 to Rev. Ephraim Little, and either Mr. Little or Mr. Clark built a house on the lot. In 1715 Mr. Little sold it to Manasseh Kempton, aiid in 1721 Mr. Kempton sold it to Nathaniel Cobb. Up to this date its record is the same as that of the Barnes lot. At a very early date a shop also was built on the southeast corner of the lot, which many readers will remember, and which was probably the last structure in Plymouth with diamond glass windows set in lead. A part o^ one of these windows is now in Pilgrim Hall. In 1736 Mr. Cobb sold it to Jonathan Darling, who lived on the estate until 1768, when ho sold it to Sylvanus Bramhall. In 1759 Mr. Bramhall mortgaged it to Silas Morton, who sold it under his mortgage in 1764 to Thomas Holmes. Mercy Holmes, the widow of Thomas Holmes, and administratrix on his estate, sold it in 1769 to Samuel Pierce, who sold it in the same year to John Fuller. In 1778 Mr. Fuller sold it to James Collins, the father of its recent owner and occupant, now deceased. The next lot, which comprises the garden north of the house of James Collin-s, was granted by the town in 1709 to Richard Holmes, the son of Nathaniel Holmes, who married Patience, the sister of Elder Thomas Faunce, and has remained in the family to the present time. In 1711 Richard Holmes sold it to his mother. Patience Holmes, with the house which he had built. In 1714 Mrs. Holmes sold it to her son George, in 208 PLYMOUTH COLONY. whose line it has descended. It is not within the knowledge of the writer when the old house was taken down, and his only authority for stating that a house was built by Ricliard Holmes is the fact that the grant to him by the town in 1709 was made with the condition annexed that he should build within two years. The land next north of the above lot, as far as the northerly side of the house occupied by John T. Stoddard, was granted by the town in 1703 to Patience Holmes, widow of Nathaniel Holmes, and sister of Elder Thomas Faunce. The records indicate that she built the house owned by the widow of Ephraim Bartlett Holmes, and that occupied by Ben- jamin O. Strong. In 1714 she sold to her son George these two Houses and the land on which they stand. Tlie southerly one he occupied until his death, when it passed, like the previous lot, to his son Richard, and finally to his grandson Richard, the father of Ephraim Bartlett Holmes. The northerly one, occupied by B. O. Strong, passed, at the death of George, to his son George, who sold it in 1782 to Barnabas Hodge, liy wliom it was sold in 1792 to Ellis Brewster. Before the sale to Mr. Hedge Mr. Holmes sold in 1778 a strip of land on the northerly side of the house with a barn to William Holland, who sold it in 1797 to Mr. Brewster, giving him possession of the whole of the original lot. After the death of Mr. Brewster it came into the possession of Charles Bram- hall, who married, in 1819, his daughter, Nancy E. Brewster, from whose heirs the present owner obtained possession. The next lot, on which the house stands occupied by John T. Stoddard, was granted, as above mentioned, to Patience Holmes, in 170.3, who sold it in 1711 to her son, Richard Holmes, who built a house on the land farther back from the street than the present one, which he occupied until his death, after which, in 1737, his three children, Gershom, Sylvanus, and Mary, the wife of Thomas Kempton, sold it to Rodolphus Hatch, who had man-ied their mother. Widow Hester Holmes. Mr. Hatch occupied it until his death, when it was sold in 1770 by his son, John Hatch, to Ruth Robinson, who appears to have occupied it until 1801, when she sold it to Robert Dunham, who married her daughter Ruth. Mr. Dunham made it his residence, and in 1804, for the purpose of transfen-ing it to his wife, sold it to his son Robert, who in the same year conveyed it to Mrs. Dunham. In 1817, for default of payment of the United States tax of the previous year, it was sold by John W. Davis, clerk of the United States District Court, to Robert Dunham, Jr. In 1829 Mr. Dunham sold it to William T. Drew, who took down the old house and built that now standing, which he .sold in 1833 to Ezra Finney, during whose ownership it was occupied by William Sampson Bartlett, who married his daughter Betsey. In 1835 Mr. Finney conveyed it to Mr. Bartlett, who in the same year sold it to Rev. George W. Briggs, who occupied it during his connection as pastor with the First Church, TITLES OF ESTATES. 209 and sold it in 1856 to Elizabeth B. Andrews, the wife of Henry G. Andrews, and daughter of Nathaniel M. Davis, who sold it in 1866 to William W. Baker, who made it his residence. In 1868 Mr. Baker sold it to Jeremiah Farris, the father of the wife of John T. Stoddard, who now occupies it. The strip of land on the north side of the house, now belonging to the lot, Was a part of the lot adjoining, and purchased within a few years. All the remaining land on Court Street as far as Samoset Street wtis granted by the town, in 1685, to Nathaniel Wood, son of John Wood, who appeared in Plymouth in 1643. It was provided in the grant that " a cartway leading to the woods " should be left between the land granted and the land on the noi'th on which the Samoset House now stands, then belonging to John Eickard. There is a good reason, there- fore, for believing that this cartway, which in time became a lane called " Woods Lane," derived its name from the fact that it led to the woods, and not from the owner of land on its boi'der It is true that, in some old deeds, it is called Deacon Atwood's Lane, but its more modern name of "Woods Lane" seems to have been a revival of tlie name it bore before Deacon Atwood's ownership, when it was called the lane to the woods. There are no indications in the records that any building was erected on the land granted to Mr. Wood during his life. After his death it came into the possession of his son John, who assumed the name of Atwood, and with him the confusion of the names of Wood and Atwood began. He was chosen a deacon of the Plymouth church in 1716, and appears, when referred to on the records, sometimes as John Wood and sometimes as John Atwood. The writer has found one instance where he took a deed of a lot of land in the name of John Wood, and conveyed it as John Atwood. A description of the adjoining land of Jolin Rickard in 1701 fixes its southeasterly corner, now the corner of the Samoset House lot, six rods northeasterly of Deacon Wood's barn, showing that before that time Deacon Atwood had built a barn nearly on the site of the house now occupied by Lysander Dunham, on Samoset Street. As it is certain that he was the builder and occu- pant of what is now known as the Shaw house, it is probable that that house also was built before that date. That part of the lot granted to Nathaniel Wood, on which the Catholic church now stands, was sold with a barn in 1780 by Elizabeth Peirce, the wife of Samuel Pierce, and daughter of Deacon John Atwood, to whom it was set off in the division of her father's estate, to John Rowe of Gloucester. In 1802 Joseph Rowe of Boston, attorney of John Rowe, sold it to Richard Holmes, whose heirs sold it, within a few years, to Charles E. Barnes, the grantor to its present owner. The house known as the Shaw house was built as above stated by Deacon John Atwood, probably before 1701. After his death it came 210 PLYMOUTH COLONY. into the possession of liis daughter Margaret, who sold it, in 1764, to Ichabod Sliaw, who married her sister Priseilla, another daughter of Deacon Atwood. After the late Southwortli Shaw, son of Ichabod, was married, the northerly end, the outline of which may be seen in the rear, was added to the old house, and occupied by him, while the remainder was occupied by his father. After the death of Icliabod Shaw, in 1822, the house was occupied by Southworth Shaw and his sister Experience, the wife of Beza Hay ward. After tlie death of South- worth Shaw the estate came into the possession of the late Ichabod Shaw, and is now owned by his daughter, Lucia J. Sliaw. It will be noticed that this estate has been in one family since 1085, and occupied by them as a residence during a period of at least one hundred and seventy-eight years. The lot of land on the north of the house also came into possession of Margaret Atwood at the death of her father, and was conveyed, with the house, in 1764, to Ichabod Shaw. After the death of Southworth Shaw, who had inherited it fi-om his father, it was sold by his heirs, in 1857, to Moses Bates. After Vernon Street was laid out through it, a strip thirty-one feet wide, not wanted for the street, was sold by Mr. Bates in the same year to William Thomas, the owner of the adjoining estate. The next lot, on which the house owned by Mr. Thomas stands, was set off, with tlie remainder of the land as far as Samoset Street, to Priseilla, the wife of Ichabod Shaw, in the division of the estate of her fiither. Deacon John Atwood, and remained vacant until 1834, when Southworth Shaw sold it to William T. Drew, who built the house now standing on the lot. In 1851 Mr. Drew, after some years' occupancy, sold it to William Thomas, when it was occupied for several years by William 11. Whitman, who married Ann, the daughter of Mr. Thomas. The remaining land was conveyed, in 1835, by Southworth Shaw to Pliineas Leach, who sold it the next year to Albert G. Goodwin. In )1856 Mr. Goodwin sold the corner lot to Lysander Dunham, who built ithe house he now owns and occupies. More recently he sold the adjoin- ' ing lot on the south to William Brewster Barnes, by whom it was sold to William B. Tribble, who built, in 1878, the two houses now standing on the lot. It can hardly have escaped the notice of readers that the lots on the westerly side of Court Street as far as Samoset Street were held by the town until about tlie year 1700, before they were granted to individuals. It is probable that the range of hills in their rear rendered them unavail- able until other lands in the centre of the town were taken up. A new interest attaches to the lots north of Samoset Street, as the writer is able to give a clear record of some of them back to the division of lands in 1623. The lots comprising the grounds of the Samoset House, and the house lots on both sides of Cushman Street, wore assigned, in the divis- TITLES OF ESTATES. 211 ion of lands In 1623 to Robert Hicks, Thomas Prence, Stephen Dean, Moses Simonson, Philip Delano, Edward Bonipass, Clement Briggs, and James Steward, all of whom came in the Fortune in that year. Tliese lots contained each one acre, and were probably assigned in the order of the list of names given above, running northerly from Sam- oset Street. As early as 1630 Robert Hicks had come into the possession . when it was sold by tlie latter to the second James Warren. ' In the same year Mr. Warren sold it to Lazarus LeBaron, who held it as^ ai vacant lot until his death in 1776, when, in the division of his estate, thafe part which belongs to the Samoset House was set off to his son Williaiia, and the remainder, including Cushman Street and all the lots on b/oth sides of it, to his son Isaac. The Samoset House lot was sold in 1806 by- William LeBaron to James Thacher, who sold it in the same year to Daniel R. Elliot, the husband of his daugliter Betsey. After the dieath of Mr. Elliot, his executor, . John Elliot of Georgia, sold it in 1^3 to Betsey H. Elliot, his widow. During its ownership by her, after tfi« death of her second htisband, Michael Hodge, of Newburyport, she built the house now standing called "the old part" of the Samoset House, and occupied it, with her father. Dr. Thacher. In 1827 Mrs. Hodge sold it to her son-in-law, Charles Sever, the husband of her daugliter Jane, who occupied it until 1833, when he sold it to John Thomas, who also made it his residence. Mr. Thomas sold it, in 1837, to Jason Hart, who after some years' occupation sold it to the Old Colony Raih-oad in ISM, and the Samoset House was built by them. In 1850 212 PLYMOUTH COLONT. it was sold by the corporation to the Samoset House Association, who owned it until its recent sale, in 1875, to Peleg C. Chandler, whose widow sold it in the present year to Thomas F. Frobisher, its present pi-oprietor. So mucli has been said concerning the Samoset House estate that little though perhaps enough space remains for the consideration of tlie adjoining lot, which was set off to Isaac LeBaron in the division of his father's estate. This lot, as has before been stated, includes Cushman Street and the lots on both of its sides. The whole lot remained vacant until Cushman Street was laid out a few years since, except the south- east corner, on wliich the Eider house, so called, stands. This corner was sold, in 1786, by Isaac LeBaron to Lemuel Bobbins, brother of Samuel Robbins, who built the house now standing and occupied it until 17,96, when he sold it to Daniel and Charles Jackson. In 1803 the Messrs. Jackson sold it to Rufus Robbins, the son of Lemuel, who occu- J>i«d it until 1823, when he sold it to Merrick Rider, who occupied it mainy y«ars, and whose heirs sold it a few years since to Dwight Faulk- ner, wlio sold it, in 1880, to Jason W. Mixter. The remainder of the Jot was held by Isaac LeBaron until 1815. when he sold it to Nathaniel Russell, his son-in-law, who sold it, in 1823, to William Davis. In the division of the estate of Mr. Davis, who died in 1826, it was set off to his son, Nathaniel Morton Davis, who sold it, in 1845, to Joseph Cush- man and Nathaniel L, Hedge, who laid out Cushmau Street and sold the lots on its 'border*. Cushman Bxreet. — Before proceeding further with Court Street it may !»e well to present in detail a record of Cushman Street, for, though it may be a familiar one to the present generation, it will be of value and interest to future inquirers. After the purchase by Joseph Cushman and Na- tlianiel L. Hedge, in 1845, of the Isaac LeBaron lot, or the buttonwood lot. as it was for many years called, on account of tlie stately buttonwood trees along its front, they laid out Cushman Street, and named it after Eider Cushman, the ancestor of one of the parties engaged in the enter- prise. In 1849 the lot on which the house stands now owned and recently occupied by Dwight Faulkner, was sold to Asa H. Moore, an active and enterprising conductor on the Old Colony Railroad, who settled in Plymouth, and married Hannah, a daughter of the late John Wasliburn. Mr. Moore is now a resident in Bloomington, Illinois, where, in a wider field of action, he has become a prominent and wealthy man. He built the house now standing on the lot, and sold it, in 1850, to Elizabeth B. Andrews, the wife of Henry G. Andrews, and who occupied it with her husband until 1855,^ when she sold it to Isabella Davie, the wife of Samuel Harmon Davie, and daughter of George Simmons. Mrs. Davie, with her husband, also occupied it until 1861, when she sold it to the writei-, who sold it, in the same year, to Mrs. TITLES OF ESTATES. 213 Andrews, its former owner. In 1863 Mrs. Andrews sold it to Anna M. Fanlkner, the wife of the present owner, who sold it, in 1880, to Jason W. Mixter. The next lot was sold in 1849 to Charles T. May, who sold it in 1856 to Gamaliel Thomas, who built the house now standing, which is still owned and occupied by him. The third lot was sold in 1851 to Coomer Weston, Jr., who sold it the next year to his brother, Francis H. Weston, by whom it was sold in 1855 to Charles S. Peterson. Mr. Peterson built a house on the lot, and in 1858 mortgaged it to the Plymouth Savings Bank, by whom it was sold in 1865 to Mary E. Hodge, its present owner. The fourth lot was sold in 1851 to Eleazer S. Turner, who sold it in 1853 to Richard B. Dunham, the builder of the house which he now owns and occupies. The fifth lot was sold in 1851 to Benjamin Hathaway, who sold it in 1855 to James B. Collingwood, who built the house he still owns and occupies. The sixth and seventh lots were sold in 1861 and 1853 to Mary D. Robbins, the wife of Frederick W. Bobbins, who built the houses now standing, and with her husband now occupies one of them. The eighth and ninth lots, at the westerly end of the street, on the north side, were sold to Allen Danforth in 1861, and in 1874 were sold by his heirs to Augustus H. Lucas, who built the house on the lot, and whose widow sold it in 1881 to Rose Standish Whiting. The tenth lot was sold in 1852 to Caleb C. Bradford, who still owns it, and occupies the house which he built on the lot. The eleventh lot was sold in 1851 to William J. Dunham, who in 1854 sold the upper half to Caleb C. Bradford, to be added to his lot, and in the same year the lower half to Elisha J. Merriam who had bought in 1853 the twelfth lot of Richard B. Dunham, brother of William, who bought the lot in 1851, and built the house now standing. The thirteenth lot was sold in 1851 to Gideon Perkins, who, in the same year, bought of Isaac Lewis Davie the fourteenth lot, which Mr. Davie had bought of Cushman and Hedge immediately before. In 1854 Mr. Perkins sold both lots to William W. Baker, who in 1856 sold the thirteenth to Winslow Bradford, and the fourteenth to Ezra Thomas. In 1856 Mr. Bradford sold his lot to Elisha J. Merriam, to be added to his lot, and in 1858 Mr. Thomas sold his to Nathaniel Spooner, who had built and was occupying a house on the fifteenth lot at the corner of Court Street, which he had bought of Cushman and Hedge in 1849. Mr. Spooner occupied the house built by him until 1872, when he sold it to Colonel Henry G. Parker, who after making it for a few years his summer residence sold it in the present year to Isaac N. Stoddard. The next lot, including the lot on which the house of Isaac N. Stod- 214 PLTMOUTn COLONY. (lav:l stands, and that portion of the adjoining lot in line with the second broolc, was a part of land which at an early date belonged to Ephi-aim Cole, son of James Cole, and remained in the Cole famil)" until the doath of Samuel Cole, in 1812, when in the division of his estate it was sot off to his kinsman, William Davis. In the division of the estate of ]\Ir. Davis, who died in 182G, it was set off to the children of his son William, and three-quarters of the lot Anally came into the possession of Hannah White, wife of Andrew L. Knssell, and one of the children of William Davis, to wliom the otlier children released their interest in 1S53. Mr. Russell built the house now standing, and occupied it until his death, in 1864, after wliich, in 1865, it was sold to Martha L. B. Stod- dard, the wife of the present occupant. The other quarter was released to the writer, one of the children of William Davis, who added it to the adjoining lot owned by him. All the land between the second and third brooks (the Latter now called Cold Spring Brook), was granted by the town in 1692 to Rev. John Cotton. That portion of it bounded by what is now Faunce Street he sold the next year to John Nelson, son of William Nelson, the progenitor of the Nelson family in Plymouth. Mr. Nelson gave it to John Doty, who probably married his daughter Mehitabel, and in 1706 Mr. Doty sold it to Samuel Nelson, who is called in the deed "his brother." John Nelson, son of Samuel, sold it in 1784 to Thaddeus Faunce. The land extending from the second brook to the land of George G. Dyer was taken in execution against Mr. Faunce, in 1798, by Benjamin Cooper, who sold it in 1801 to Samuel Jackson. In 1819, after the death of Mr. Jackson, it was sold by his daughter Naomi, the wife of Calvin Crombie, to Sylvanus Lazcll of Bridgewater, who sold it the next year to John Blaney Bates. In 1833 it passed from Mr. Bates through the hands of Nathaniel M. Davis, administrator on the estate of his ftither, William Davis, who had a mortgage on the land, to Jacob and Abner S. Taylor, who again mortgaged it to Benjamin Hathaway in 1848, by whom it was sold in 1849 to George W. Virgin. In 1851 Mr. Virgin sold the southerly half of the lot to the writer, who added the strip of land above referred to on its southerly side, belonging to tlie old Davis lot, and in 1854 built the house which he occupied for many years and sold in 1881 to Frances J. Douglass. The rem.aining half of the lot was sold in 1852 by Mr. Virgin to Benjamin Hathaway, who sold it in 1809 to George F. Andrews, who sold, in 1873, the front half to John Morissey, and tlie rear to the writer, who added it to his homestead. In 1875 Mi-. Morissey sold to his son, William S. Morissey, a lot next to the estate of the writer, on which he built a house in which he lives, and afterwards built a house on the remainder. The next lot, on which the house stands occupied by George G. Dyer, was also sold by John Nelson to Thaddeus Faunce in 1784, whose widow, TITLES OF ESTATES. 215 Elizabeth Faunce, sold it in 1821 to Daniel Goddard. In 1844 Mr. Goddard sold it to William Morey, Jr., who sold it in the same jear to John Battles. In 1853 Mr. Battles sold it to Samuel Newell Diman, who sold it in the same year to Lemuel Bradford, who built the house now standing on the lot. In 1862 Mr. Bradford sold it to Frances E. Gray and Ellen C, the wife of AVilliam H. Brooks, who occupied it until 1865, when they sold it to Albert Mason, who also occupied the house and sold it in 1869 to Mary Ann B. Dyer, the wife of the present occupant. The next lot of land as far as Faunce Street was sold by Elizabeth Faunce to Daniel Goddard, and by him to William Morey, Jr., who sold it in 1844 to Bradford L.. Battles. In 1853 and 1856 Mr. Battles sold it to Henry L. Chubbuck, who in 1857 sold the northerly half to Charles G. Davis, agent of the Pilgrim Society, and in 1859 the southerly half to Rev. Robert B. Hall. In 1875 Abby B., t^e widow of Mr. Hall, sold the southerly lot to James D. Thurber, who built the house which ho now occupies, and in 1878 the Pilgrim Society gave the larger part of their lot to the town for a new street, and sold the remainder to Mr. Thurber to be added to his homestead. On this lot the house stood which was built and occupied by John Nelson about the year 1700, and was more recently occupied by Thaddeus Faunce and his widow until what was known by the last generation as the Faunce house was built on the oppo- site side of tlie street. Mr. Nelson included in his sale to Mr. Faunoe, in 1784, all the land between Faunce Street and the northerly line of the land now owned and occupied by William Gooding. The remainder of the tract as far as Cold Spring Brook, except the pasture with a small frontage on the street immediately south of the entrance to land of John Clark, was inherited by iiis brother Ebenezer, and was then in his possession. Mr. Faunce retained possession of this part of his purchase dui-ing his life, and his widow, Elizabeth, held it after his death until 1836, when she sold it to MeiTick Rider, guardian of Mary D. Knowles, his great-grand- daughter. In 1840 Mr. Rider sold it to James Baxter, the father of the late Josiah D. Baxter, who sold that part of it now owned by Sarah W. Sherman, wife of Evei'ett F. Sherman, in the same year to Coomer Weston, and mortgaged the remainder to the Plymouth Savings' Bank. Jlr. Weston built a house on the lot which he occupied until his death, in 1870, and in 1873 Francis H. Weston and other of his heirs sold it to its present owner. In 1844 the Plymouth Savings' Bank took possession under their mortgage of the remainder of the land purchased by Mr. Baxter of Merrick Rider, guardian, and sold it to Jacob H. Loud, who sold it in the same year to Rowland E. Cotton. In 1850 Mr. Cotton sold that portion of it now owned and occupied by Friend W. Howland to Charles G. Davis, and the remainder to William Gooding. Mr. Davis and Mr. Gooding built houses on their lots, and Mr. Gooding is still an 216 PLYMOUTH COLONY. occupant. In 1858 Mr. Davis sold his house and lot to Henry G. Andrews, trustee, who occupied it for a short time, and sold itin 1859 to Ebenezer Pierce. In 1870, after the death of Mr.. Pierce, his widow, Sally S. Pierce, sold it to George F. Andrews, who, after an occupancy of five years, sold it in 1875 to Mr. Howland, its present owner and occupant. The next lot of land, on which the house stands recently owned and occupied by Miss Ann M. Weston, was a part of the original Cotton lot purchased by .John Nelson in 1693, and was inherited from him by his son Samuel, and grandson Ebenezer Nelson. At the death of Ebenezer Nelson it was set off to his granddaughter Abigail, wife of David Diman, Jr., who sold it in 1826 to Lemuel Bradford, the father of Lemuel Bradford now living, who built the house now standing. In 1871 Mr. Bradford's son Lemuel sold it to James Sears, who sold it in 1876 to Miss Weston. The land in the rear, on which the ropewalk stands, was once owned by James Baxter above mentioned, who built the walk and carried on the business of manufacturing line and twine. The lot of vacant Iftnd next north of the house owned by Miss Weston was inherited by Polly Cobb, the second wife of John K. Cobb, and daughter of Samuel Nelson, from her father as a part of the old Cotton and John Nelson land, and was sold in 1879 by the heirs of Mr. Cobb to James D. Thurber and others, who sold it in 1880 to the town for a school-house lot. The next estate, including the house which was probably built by Lemuel Nelson, son of Ebenezer Nelson, also a part of the Cotton land, was sold partly in 1877 by William Cobb, and partly in 1879 by heirs of John K. Cobb, all heirs of Lemuel Nelson, to Anthony McNemara, who now occupies it. The next small lot of land, on which the house stands owned and occu- pied by George Lyle, was inherited by Ilezekiah Nelson from his father Ebenezer, and sold by him in 1803 to Nathan Holmes, who built the house now standing. In 1815 Mr. Holmes sold it to William Nelson, tlie grandfather of William H. Nelson, whose son, the late William Nelson, and daughter, Mary Harlow, sold it in 1822 to Samuel Nelson. In 1870 Samuel Nelson, the son of the Samuel above named, sold it to its present owner and occupant. The pasture next north of the house of Mr. Lyle was a part of the inheritance of John Nelson, from his father Samuel and grandfather John, and was sold by him in 1777 to Richard Holmes. In 1797 William Holmes, son of Richai-d, sold it to his brother Richard, who sold it back to William in 1806. In 1814 William Holmes sold it to William Nelson, and in 1868 William H. Nelson and Mary L. Harlow, gi-andchildren of William Nelson, sold it to James Collins, who again sold it in 1872 to John Mun-ay, its present owner. TITLES OF ESTATES 217 As the boundary of the " mile-and-a-half " granted to the town in 1701 has been reached, the writer proposes to retrace his steps and give skbtolies of the land on the easterly side of Court Street. Cold Spring, well known as an interesting feature in the neiglibor- hood, was in ancient times called Tinker's Rook Spring. Its water is so abundant and pure that it would be weU for the town to utilize it by the construction of a handsome and durable drinking fountain, which would be an ornament to the street along which it now finds its way through ragged channels to tlie sea. It formerly flowed on the easterly side of the street, and ran into the meadow by a route south of the house recently occupied by the late Peter Holmes. There is a tradition that it was moved from one side of the street to the other by the earthquake of 1755, but a more reliable one is that John Nelson, who owned lands in its vicinity, changed its course for the purpose of introducing water to his pasture, now owned by John Murr.ay. Beginning at the brook and returning now towards the town, on the easterly side of the street, all the land as far south as the second brook, which flows tlu'ough the land of Benjamin Hathaway, was granted in the division of lands in 1623 to "Widow Ford, Austin Nicholas, Thomas Cush- man, William Beale, and Hugh Static, all of whom came in the Fortune in that year. Four acres doubtless next to the Spring Brook were as- signed to Mrs. Ford, and afterwards came into the possession of William Nelson, who married her daughter Martha. These four acres were the nucleus of the great Nelson farm, which at a later day, included all the above gi-ants, and extended fi-om the second brook to the estate »f Mr. Knapp, and was still further enlarged in 1693 by the purchase by John Nelson from John Cotton of lands on the westerly side of the street referred to in previous abstr^acts. These early lands of William Nelson were described in ancient records as lying near Reed Pond and Straw- berry Hill, tlie pond being their northerly boundary. After a somewhat careful investigation, the writer has become satisfied that Reed Pond, the location of which has heretofore defied the researches of antiquarians, was wh^t is now the low meadow above the railroad in the nortlioast corner of the land of Charles G. Davis. Strawberry Hill, mentioned in connection with Reed Pond, could have been no other than the hill on Ihe land of Mr. Davis near his house a little east of the street. In 1706 John Nelson, great-grandson of the progenitor William Nelson, sold to Thaddeus Faunce fifteen acres, which included all the land between Cold Spring Brook and Lothrop Place, except a few acres of back land near the shore which had come into the possession of Isaac Lothrop, and three acres and a half above the railroad, which he afterwards sold to Barnabas Hedge, who inherited the Lothrop land. In 1798 Thaddeus F.iunce sold to Seth Robbms, brother of Samuel Bobbins, and Abraham Whitten, the father of Charles Wliittcn, the lot next to the brook, and the double 218 PLYMOUTH COLONY. house now standing was built and occupied by them, the north half by Mr. Robbing, and the south half by Mr. Whitten. In 1808 Seth Robbins sold his part to Peter Holmes, who occupied it until his death, in 1869, after which, in 1871, it was sold by his heirs to Hannah S. Davis, wife of Charles G. Davis, who is its present owner. In 1814 Benjamin Delano, administrator on the estate of Mi-. Whitten, sold his part to William Kelson, who sold it in 1815 to Nathan Holmes, whose heirs sold it in 1852 to Oliver Vaughn. In 1868 it was conveyed by Sylvanus Harvey, administrator on the estate of Capt. Vaughn, to his widow, Sarah Vaughn, who sold it 1867 to Charles G. Davis, its present ovvnei-. In 1804 Thaddous Faunce sold the remainder of his land to William Davis, who sold it in 1812 to Peter Holmes, except one acre hereafter mentioned, which he had previously sold to Elizabeth Faunce. Mr. Holmes built a shop on the land south of the house occupied by him, which was afterwards converted into a dwelling-house, and sold by his heirs in 1871 to George Barlow, its •present owner and occupant. By two deeds, in 1850 and 1853, Mr. Holmes sold the land purchased of William Davis to Charles G. Davis, except the lot on which Mr. Barlow's house stands, and a small tract sold to William S. Holmes, and Mr. Davis built the house which has since been his residence. Mr. Davis enlarged his homestead lands, extending them to the shore by a purchase in 1850 from James G. Hedge of the land set off to him in the division of the estate of his grandfather, Barnabas Hedge, and by purchases from Samuel Newell Diman in 1861, and William S. Holmes in 1853. The dwelling-house next south of that of Mr. Barlow was once the farm-house standing on the farm of John Clark on the hill, in i-ear of the Catholic Church, and was bought by Mr. Davis in 1856, and moved to the spot where it now stands. The lot on which the house stands, owned and occupied by Mrs. Robert B. Hall, was a part of an acre of land sold by William Davis out of his purchase from Thaddeus Faunce to Elizabeth Faunce, the widow of Thaddeus. Mrs. Faunce built a house on the lot, and after her death the lot was sold in 1851 to Robert B. Hall, and the house was also sold and moved to the north part of the town, where it now stands on tlie westerly side of the road opposite the house recently occupied by Widow Green. Mr. Hall built the house now occupied by his widow, who in 1874 enlarged her lot by a purchase from Charles G. Davis of a lot on Lothrop Street which Mr. Davis bought in 1861 of Samuel N. Diman, who bought it in 1840 of Ezi-a S. and Benjamin Diman, grantees in the same year from Merrick Rider, the husband of a daughter of Elizabeth Faunce. In 1841 William S. Holmes bought of the Messrs. Diman the other part of the lot which they had bought of Merrick Ridor, and built the house which he now owns and occupies. The two Diman lots com- pleted the acre which William Davis sold to Elizabeth Faunce. The field known in later times as the Davie lot, extending from TITLES OF ESTATES. 219 Lothrop Street to the second brook, was a part of the original Nelson farm, as above stated, and was sold, in 1766, by John Nelson, the great- grandson of William Nelson, who bought it of the original grantees, to Rev. Jacob Bacon. Mr. Bacon sold it, in 1777, to Samuel Jackson, whose heir, Henry Jacljson, sold it, in 1810, to Solpmon Davie, the father of Johnson Davie, now living in Plymouth. In 1838 Mr. Davie sold it to Abner S. Taylor, who mortgaged it, in 1848, to Benjamin Hathaway. Mr. Hathaway obtained possession under his mortgage, and in 1875 sold a strip along Lothrop Street, one hundred feet wide on Court Street, to Nancy Sprague Parks, wife of John Parks, and a lot adjoining, seventy feet wide, to Henry W. Loring. The tract of land between Court Street and the shore, extending from the second, or Faunce's Brook, as it has been more recently called, to. the south line of the lot owned by Thomas B. Bartlett, opposite the foot of Cushman Street, containing about twelve acres, was for many years the property of Governor William Bradford, and was inherited, at liis death, by his sons, William and Joseph. In 1698 they conveyed it to Nathaniel Howland, grandson of John Howland, who conveyed it in the same year to Ephraim Cole, son of James Cole. At the death of Ephraim it passed into the hands of his son Samuel, whose widow, Mercy (Barnes) Cole, married Barnabas Hedge. At the death of Mrs. Hedge and her husband it passed into the possession of Thomas Davis, who married their daughtei-, Mercy Hedge. At the death of Mr. Davis, it was set off to his son. William Davis, who owned it at the time of his death, in 1826, and in the division of his estate it was set off, partly to his son Thomas and partly to his daughter Betsey, the wife of Alexander Bliss. Mrs. Bliss afterwards sold her part to her brother, and in 1839 he sold a part to Abner S. Taylor, and in 1842 the remainder to Joseph Cushman. In 1845 Mr. Taylor and Mr. Cushman sold a portion of the front land to Ezra S. and Benjamin Diman, and in 1849 Mr. Cushman sold the remainder of his purchase to his brother-in-law, Nathaniel L. Hedge. In 1856 Mr. Hedge sold it to Andrew L. Russell, and in the same year Messrs. Diman sold to Mr. Russell the land purchased by them, except the lot on which the house stands owned and occupied by the widow of the late Job B. Oldham, which they had previously sold to Levi Barnes. In the same year Martha W. Barnes, widow of Levi Barnes, sold his lot to Mr. Russell, thus giving to him the possession of all the land between the brook and Phoenix Court, so called. In 1865, after the death of Mr. Russell, his widow, Hannah W. Russell, admin- istratrix on his estate, sold it to Benjamin Hathaway, who, in 1874, sold two lots to Mr. Oldham and Lyndon P. Hubbard, who built the houses now standing, and in 1876 a third to Miss Martha A. Veriy, on which she built the house which she sold, in 1881, to Emma C. Crosby, its present owner. In 1845 Mr. Taylor, having laid out Phoenix Court, 220 PLYMOUTH COLONT. now the street running to the woollen mill, sold the lot on its south side to WiUard Wood, who sold it, in 1865, to Benjamin Hathaway. In 1873 Mr. Hathaway sold it to Joseph L. Weston, who built the house which he now owns and occupies. The next lot south of the house ofUv. Weston was sold by Mr. Taylor, in 1846, to Mr. Hathaway, who sold ,t. in 1850, to David B. Bartlett. Mr. Bartlett was employed as a carpenter to detach a portion of the house now occupied by William H. Whitman, then owned by William Davis, and the detached part was bought by him, and moved to the lot bought of Mr. Hathaway, where it now stands. Mr. Bartlett sold it, in 1861, to John Washburn who sold it, m 1863 to Thomas B. Bartlett, who now owns it as a rented house. The next tract of land, extending from the lot of Thomas B. Bartlett as far south as the northerly fence of the railroad enclosure, was set oflf in five lots of one acre each, in 1623, to John Cannon, WiUiam Tench, John Adams, William Connor, and William Hilton, all of whom came in the Fortune in that year. The two acres on the north, next to the land of Governor Bradford, fell to Tench and Connor, and were bequeathed by them to John Billington, whose widow, Eleanor, in 1638, sold them to Thomas Prince, who was then governor of the colony. Gov- ernor Prince afterwards came into possession of the other three acres, and in 1645 sold the whole to Edmond Freeman, acting on behalf of John Beauohamp, a London merchant, to whom Mr. Prince, with Wil- liam Bradford, Edward Winslow, Miles Standish, John Alden, John Rowland, Isaac Allerton, and the heirs of William Brewster was indebted. Of William Tench and John Cannon little is known except that they came in the Fortune, and had lands given to them in 1623 As it is stated in the deed from Eleanor Billington to Governor Prince that the lands were bequeathed to her husband by the original grantees, whose names are not to be found in the division of cattle in 1627, it is presumed that they died before that time. These lands were probably afterwards surrendered or passed by con- veyances not on record, as they are next found partly in the possession of Deacon John Atwood, and partly in possession of James Ricliard, who sold his share to Mr. Atwood in 1723. While in the possession of Mr. Atwood, the house known as the Chandler house was built and occupied by his son John. After various conveyances, which it is useless to enumerate, the vacant lot next to the house of Thomas B. Bartlett came into the possession of Lemuel Drew in 1782, and the Chandler house and lot into the hands of Elkanah Bartlett in 1783 and 1789, by deeds from the administrator of John Atwood, and from Samuel Jack- son. In 1803 Mr. Bartlett, who had occupied the house, sold it to Amos Whitten and Thaddeus Churchill, whose representatives sold it, in 1820 and 1826, to John B. Cliandler. The vacant lot was sold, in 1828, to Philip Taylor by George Drew, who had obtained possession under an TITLES OF ESTATES. 221 execution against Lemunl Drew, and in 1831 Mr. Taylor sold it to Jacob and Abner S. Taylor, who built a house on the lot, which was secured and fitted up for a cholera hospital during the summer of that year. There was, liowever, little or no occasion for its use, and it was soon after sold and removed to the sliore in tlie nortli part of the» town, where it was used as a fish-house for some years, and finally taken down. In 1840 the Messrs. Taylor sold the lot to John Bartlett, who sold it, in 1852, to Phineas Wells, of whom it was purchased, in 1853, by Benjamin Hathaway and others, and finally sold, in 1878, to Lucy Barnes. The old Atwood house and lot were occupied by Mr. Chandler, above-mentioned, until his death, and since that time the house has been known as the Chandler house. In 1846 it was sold by Anthony Morse, administrator of Mr. Chandler, to Leander Lovell, who sold it, in 1864, to the Plymouth Woollen Mills. In 1871 it was sold by the directors of the Woollen Mills, Charles G. Davis and others, to Dwight F. Faulkner, and was by him sold, in 1878, to Frances A. Saw- yer, who now owns the lot, having removed the old house and erected two others. The remainder of the five acres once belonging to Governor Prince, extending to the railroad enclosure, passed from John Atwood, at his death, to his daughter Lydia, wife of James Hovey, who sold it to Thomas Davis. At the death of Mr. Davis, in 1785, it was set off to his son Thomas, who owned it until his death, when it wat set off, in the division of his estate, to his brother, Samuel Davis. In 1829 the heirs of Mr. Davis sold it to Nathaniel C. Lanman, who sold it, in 1844, to the Old Colony Railroad Corporation. The raili-oad opened an avenue over the southerly portion of the lot to the station erected at its easterly end, a little north of the present station, and the remainder of the field was enclosed and held as a vacant lot until 1865, when the honse-lot on its southwest corner was sold to Chauncy M. Howard, who built the house and store now owned and occupied by William Burns. In 1865 Mr. Howard sold it to Cornelius Dunham of North Bridgewater (now Brockton), who sold it, in 1869, to William Burns. Beginning on Court Street, at the north line of the railroad enclosure, which was the point above referred to, there were three lots of one acre each in the division of lands in 1623, between that point and the first, or Shaw's Brook. The first was granted to John Winslow, and the other two to Edward Winslow. South of the brook, the first acre was allotted to Henry Sampson of the Mayflower, and the four next to Francis Eaton, also of the Mayflower, and the two next to Miles Standish. These ten lots extended to the southerly line of the land of William H. Nelson, and had a width of about sixty feet each. In 1637 John Winslow sold his lot to his brother Josiah, who, in the same year, sold it to his brother, Edward Winslow. Henry Sampson 222 PLYMOUTH COLONY. also sold his lot to Edward Winslow, as is shown, not by any recorded deed, but by a reference made by Mr. Winslow in a subsequent deed from him to George Bower. In 1631 Fi-ancis Eaton conveyed also his four acres to Edward Winslow by the following deed : — "Francis Eaton, of Plymouth, hath sold unto Edward Winslow of the same, four acres of land lying in the north field, between the lands of Capt. Myles Standish on the south side, and one acre due unto Heni-y Sampson on the north, for and in consid- eration of the second cow calf, shall fall unto the said Edward after the date of this date, viz : the 2nth of June, 1631. The said Edward to deliver the same at the age of six months, and if it miscarry before then a third etc till payment be made accord- ing to the tenure of this present. The said Francis binding himselfe and heires to confirm the said moiety of land to the said Edward Winslow and his heu-es forever." In the same year Captain Standish sold, for the sum of seven pounds, his adjoining two acres to Edward Winslow, m.aking Mr. Winslow, after his purchase of John Winslow's lot in 1637, the owner of all the land between the south line of the land of William H. Nelson and the north line of the railroad enclosure. It will be seen by the above sales that four acres of land wore worth fourteen pounds, and were also the fair measure of value of a heifer calf six months old. In 1637 Edward Winslow sold to his brother Josiah the most southerly of tlie two lots purchased of Miles Standish, and in 1639 sold to George Bower his remaining nine acres, lying as described in his deed dated the 24th of January : — " On the north side of the said Towne of Plymouth on eich side the first brooke, vis the most northerly of the two acres which the said Edward Winslow purchased of Captaine Standish, and foure acres purchased of Francis Eaton adjoyneing thereunto, and one acre adjoyneing purchased of Henry Sampson, all these lying on the south side of the said first brook which fell to the said Edward Winslow in his first division, and one acre which was exchanged with Josiah Winslow for the other southerly acre purchased of Captaine Standish as aforesaid." The deed closes with the following provision : — "That if the said Edward Winslow shall come and build upon the two furthermost of the nine acres and dwell upon them himself, that then the said Edward shall have them at the same rate that the said George Bower now payeth for them, allowing him such further charge as the said George shall have then layd forth upon them." This land was sold by Mr. Winslow two years after his removal to Marshfield, and as other parcels of land are included in tiie deed it is fair to presume, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, that he was no longer a holder of real estate in Plymouth. At the time of his removal, in 1637, he sold his homestead to Thomas Wallis, but the closing provision in his deed to George Bower indicates the possibility of his return. It is probable that when he was chosen governor, in 1644, he built and occupied a house on the laud in question, as in the next year TITLES OF ESTATES. 223 before his final departure from the colony for England, he sold to Edmond Freeman, agent of John Beauohamp of London, " his house scittuate in Plymouth with the garden, backhouse, doores, locks, bolts, wainscote glasse and wainscote bedstead in the parlor, with the truckle bed, a chair in the studdy, and all the shelves as now they are in eich roome, with the yeard roomth and fences about the same, and all and every their appurtenances with all his right and title and interest of and unto the said premises and every part and parcel thereof." The exact lot where he built his house, if the supposition of the writer be correct, is that bounded by the northerly railroad avenue on one side and the brick block on the other, extending to the shore. On the 28th of October, 1633, the following act was passed by the General Court : — " It was by fall consent agreed upon and enacted that the chiefe government he tyed to the towne of Plymouth and that the Governor for the time being be tyed there to keepe his residence and dwelling ; and there also to hold such Courts as concerne the whole." As Mr. Winslow was chosen governor in 1643, it is certain that he must have lived in Plymouth during that year, and there can be no more probable place for his dwelling than that which he reserved the right to occupy when he sold his real estate in 1639. After the conveyance of the above land the records are silent as to any transfers of ownership until the northerly part as far as a point forty- nine feet south of the northerly end of the brick block is found in the possession of John Atwood, and the remainder in the hands of Thomas Southworth, the son of Alice Bradford, the wife of Governor Bradford, by her "first husband, Edward Southworth. The part belonging to Ml-. Atwood passed at his death to his daughter Lydia, the wife of James Hovey, and after the death of Mr. Hovey and his wife was sold to Joshua Thomas. At the death of Judge Thomas, in 1821, it came into the possession of his son, the late John B. Thomas, who sold it in 1844 to the Old Colony Railroad. It remained a vacant lot until the erection of the new station in 1869, when a part was used in laying out the southerly railroad avenue and Samoset Square, and tlie remaining strip of forty- nine feet was sold to Charles G. Davis. How the remainder of the Winslow land came into the possession of Thomas Southworth is not apparent, but his acquirement of lands south of these from Governor Bradford by recorded conveyances, leads to the supposition that they were surrendered by the original owners in accordance with the pro- visions of an act passed in 1633, and regranted to Governor Bradford and conveyed by him to Mr. Southworth, The lot of land extending southerly from a point forty-nine feet south of the north end of the brick block to the north line of the land owned by 224 PLYMOUTH COLONY. Mrs. Thomas Hedge, after it came into possession of Thomas Sonthworth, was inherited at his death by his daughter Elizabeth, the wife of Joseph Howland, who conveyed it in 1705 to her son, Thomas Howland. At the death of Mr. Howland it was devised by his will to his son, Consider Howland, who sold it in 1760 to George Watson. After the death of Mr. Watson it was sold by his heirs in 1816 to Thomas JaCkson, Jr., who sold it in 1835 to Richard Holmes. Mr. Holmes built the double house standing on the lot, and in 1841 sold the northerly part to his son, Richard W. Holmes, whose widow still owns and occupies it. The southerly part was occupied by Richard Holmes and his widow until the deaih of the latter, after which it was sold in 1867 to William Morey, Jr. The remainder of the Holmes lot bounded by Court Street, except a way twelve feet wide leading to a field in the rear, sold to Benjamin Hatha- way in 1865, the heirs of Mr. Holmes sold in 1867 to Charles G. Davis, who in 1871 built the brick block covering his Holmes land and a strip of forty-nine feet wide which he purchased of the Old Colony Railroad in 1869. The remainder of the Edward Winslow land, including the southerly Standish lot, which can be traced by deeds to Thomas Southworth, passed like the last lot into the hands of Consider Howland, who sold it in 1765 to John Murdock, whose grandchildren, J.ames and Bartlett, inherited and sold it in 1764 to Thomas Crandon, reserving a house lot sixty feet square where Mr. Nelson's house now stands, which they sold in the same year to Nathaniel Goodwin. In 1764 Mr. Crandon sold it to Thomas Davis, to whom it belonged at the time of his death, in 1785. In the division of the estate of Mr. Davis in 1786 the lot on which the house now owned and occupied by Mrs. Thomas Hedge stands, was set off to his son, Isaac P. Davis, who sold it in 1793 to Samuel Lanman. In 1799 it was sold by the heirs of Mr. Lanman to Peter Lanman, who sold it in 1809 to William Hammett, who built the house now standing. In 1813 it passed from Mr. Hammett to William R. Gray of Boston, though Mr. Hammett continued to occupy it, and in 1819 Mr. Gray sold it to Joseph Aveiy. After the death of Mr. Aveiy it was sold in 1822 by his father. Rev. Joseph Avery of Holden, who had inherited it, to Thomas Jackson, Jr., who sold it in 1830 to Thomas Hedge, by whose family it has since been occupied. During its ownership by Mr. Avery it was occupied for a short time by Rev. Stephen S. Nelson, the pastor of the Baptist Society. The next lot, on which the house of Dr. Alexander Jackson stands, was set off in the division of the estate of Thomas Davis to his son, Wendell Davis, who sold in 1805 a narrow strip at the lower end to Thomas Holmes and Samuel Robbins for a ropewalk, and in 1806 the remainder to Raohael Cotton, the wife of Josiah Cotton and mother of Maiy Ann, the wife of Isaac L. Hedge. In 1831 Mr. Hedge built the house now standing on the lot, which was occupied by him and his family TITLKS OF ESTATES. 225 until 1871, when it was sold by his widow to Mr. Loud, whose heirs sold it in 1881 to Dr. Jackson. The next lot, on which the house of William H. Nelson stands, w.is purchased, as above stated, by Nathaniel Goodwin in 1764, who built the old house which many readers will remember as standing on the lot In the division of the estate of Mr. Goodwin it was set off to his son, Thomas Goodwin, wlio sold in 1805 ten feet on the street to William Drew, the owner of the estate adjoining, on the south, and the remainder with the house in 1811 to his brother. General Nathaniel Goodwin. In 1821 it was sold by the late Nathaniel Goodwin, administrator on the estate of his father, the General, to Barnabas Hedge, who sold it in 1830 to Lewis and Thomas Goodwin, who occupied it for some years. Previous, however, to the last transfer, the lot had been enlarged by the addition in its rear of a portion of the Cotton lot. In 1856 the heirs of Lewis and Thomas Goodwin sold it to Sonthworth Barnes, who built the house now standing. In 1865 the widow and heirs of Mr. Barnes sold it to Elizabeth C. Bobbins, the wife of Daniel J. Bobbins, who after some years' occu- pancy sold it in 1876 to Mr. Nelson, the present owner and occupant. The three next lots of one acre each, extending as far as the south line of the honse-lot on the corner of Drew Place, now owned and occupied by Mrs. E. S. Turner, were the property of John Winslow, and were sold by him to his brother Edward, who by deed dated November 13, 1637, re- conveyed them to his brother. John Winslow joined in the same deed and sold thorn to Josiah Winslow, who thus came into possession of the four lots. In 1640 Josiah Winslow sold them to John Barnes, who in the same year sold them to Thomas Wallis. In 1641 Mr. Wallis sold them to Governor Bradford, who afterwards conveyed them to his step-son, Thomas Sonthworth. It is probable that Governor Bradford owned most of the lands between this point and North Street before his death in 1657, as it is known that they were soon after in the possession of Mr. South- worth. In 1744 Elder Fannce, then ninety-eight years of age, gave a deposition, which is on record, that between the ages of five and twenty- one, he lived with Thomas Sonthworth, and that Mr. Sonthworth owned at that time all the land bounded by North Sti-eet, Court Street, the first brook and the shore, except a lot on the coi'ner of the above streets. Elder Fannce was born in 1646 or 1647, and as the age of ten would have been about as far back as his memory could reach, the occurrence of the death of Governor Bradford in 1667, reinforces the suggestion that Mr. Southworth's title came from him. George Bonnm also deposed that Mr. Sonthworth owned the above land, and further that he lived at the foot of North Street, on the north side. It is a matter of record that Thomas Prince sold that identical spot in 1637 to John Atwood, and that in 1649, Ann Atwood, the daughter of John, sold it to Benjamin Vermayes, the husband of Mercy, daughter of Governor Bradford. At this point there is 226 PLYMOUTH COLONY. a o-ap in the record of sales until the land is found in the hands of Tliomas Howland, back to whom its present title is traced. As Mr. Vermayes moved soon after his purchase to Boston, it is probable that thronjrh Governor Bradford it passed to Mr. Southwoi'th, and so passed as has been seen was the case with other lands to Mr. Southworth's daughter Elizabeth, the wife of Joseph Howland, and from her to her son Thomas. In 1775 Thomas Sonthwnrth Howland sold the lot on Court Street, extending from the south line of the land of William H. Nelson to the house now owned and occupied by E. B. Atwood and others, to James Otis. Mr. Howland inherited the land from his father. Consider How- land, the heir of his father Thomas, who had obtained a title in 1704, under a deed from his mother, Elizabeth, the wife of Joseph Howland, and daughter of Thomas Southworth. In 1778 Mr. Otis died, and his sons, Josepli and Samuel AUyne Otis, sold it to James Warren, their brother-in-law, who sold it in 1782 to Thomas Davis. In the division of the estate of Mr. Davis, in 1786, the northerly half, as far as the middle of Drew Place, was set off to his son, Samuel Davis, and the remainder to his daughter Sarah, the wife of LeBaron Bradford. In 1801 Samuel Davis sold to William Drew and Nathaniel Holmes, the brother-in-law of Mr. Drew, the lot north of Pilgrim Hall, and the house now standing was built by them. In 1807 Mr. Drew sold the northerly half to his brother-in-law, Thomas Bartlett, and Mr. Bartlett occupied it some years, and sold it in 1834 to Samuel Cole Davie, brother of Johnson Davie. In 1870 Samuel H., son of Samuel Cole Davie, sold it to Isaac N. Stoddard, who sold it in the same year to its present owner, Lydia R. Nye, daughter of the late Atwood and Lydia (Rider) Drew. The soutli part was occupied by Mr. Holmes, and afterwards by his son, the late Lemuel D. Holmes, who sold it in 1872 to Joseph Barnes, by whom it was sold in 1879 to William R. Drew, its present owner. In 1824 Samuel Davis sold the next lot to the Pilgrim Society, and in the same year Pilgrim Hall was erected. Though in the selection of this spot no reference was had to its Pilgrim associations, scarcely a spot in Plymouth could have been found whose early ownership w.as so dis- tinguished and can be so distinctly traced. Its pedigree is simple, and a few words will cover it. Its owners have been John Winslow, Edward Winslow, Josiah Winslow, John Barnes, Thomas Wallis, William Brad- ford, Joseph Howland, Thomas Howland, Consider Howland, Thomas Southworth Howland, James Otis, James Warren, Thomas Davis, and Samuel Davis. Though the land of Mr. Davis extended to the middle of Drew Place, the Pilgrim Hall lot included only five feet of wliat is now the street, the remainder being reserved by Mr. Davis for a way to land in the rear owned by him. There was a way also on the south side of Drew Place TITLKS OF ESTATES. 227 leading to rear land owned by Mrs. Bradford, and when William Drew, in 1829 and 1830, bouglifc of the heirs of Mr. Davis and Mrs. Bradford their back land, he laid out the street and the strip of five feet belonging to the Pilgrim Society was sm-rendered to give it a desirable widtli. In 1841, after the death of William Drew, his son and administrator, William T. Drew, sold ten lots on Drew Place, five on each side. The three first lots on the north side were sold to William Brewster Barnes, Samuel Doten, 2d, and William Weston, who in the same year, sold them to William T. Drew, who built a house upon the land and occupied it until his death, when it was sold in 1864, by Timothy Gordon, adminis- trator, to Jacob H. Loud, trustee, who sold it in 1867 to James P. Arthur. In 1870 Mr. Arthur sold it to Mi-s. Winslow Warren, its present owner and occupant. The next lot was sold to Coomer Weston, Jr., who built the house now standing, which is still owned by his heirs. Tlie next lot was sold in 1852 to Nathaniel Brown, who sold it the next year to Ansel H. Harlow, of whom it was purchased in the same year by William Lewis. Mr. Lewis sold it in 1854 to William Morey, who sold it in 1872 to TVallace W. Burgess, who built the house now standing, and after a short occupancy sold it to George M. Rice, the grantor in 1881 to Benjamin L. Bramhall. The first lot on the south side was sold to Wijjslow Drew, and the second to his brother Theodore, who afterwards sold it to Winslow, who built the house which he still owns and occupies, The third lot was sold to William Weston, who afterwards sold it to Reuben Peterson, the pur- chaser of the fourth lot, who built a house which he occupied until his death, when it was occupied by his son Lewis, since whose recent death it has been owned by his son, William F. Peterson. The last lot on the south side was sold to Samuel Doten, 2d, who built the house now standing,- and whose administrator sold it in 1662 to Jobi» Churchill, its present owner and occupant. In 1804 Sarah Bradford sold to America Brewster tlie lot on the south corner of Di'ew Place, and Mr. Brewster built and occupied the house now standing, which his heirs sold in 165g, tp Eleazer Stevens Turner, whose widow now owns and occupies it. In 1806 Mrs. Bradford sold to William Drew the remainder of the land on Court Street as for as the Symmes lot now owned and occupied by E, B. Atwood and others, and Mr. Drew built the house on the lot which he occupied until his death, in 1839, after which it was occupied by his widow, and finally sold by the heirs, in 1866, to Winslow Drew, who sold it, in 1867, to Edward W. Drew, his son, who is the present owner. Iij 1843 William T. Drew, the administrator of the estate of his father, William Drew, sold the lot on wbJpb the house stands egcupied hj 228 PLYMOUTH COLONT, John Darling Churchill to Nathaniel Russell, who sold it to Ml. Churchill, its present owner, who built the house he occupies. The remaining land, as far as the northerly line of the estate of tlie late William G. S. Wells, was also in the possession of Thomas South- worth, and passed, like the lands already described, to his daughter Eliz- abeth, the wife of Joseph Rowland. Elizabeth conveyed it to her son, Thomas Rowland, who devised it to his son. Consider, the fatlicr of Thomas Southworth Rowland, who finally inherited it. In 1772 Thomas Southworth Rowland conveyed it to Isaac Symmes, who built the house owned and occupied by Edward B. Atwood. In 1794 Joanna Symmes, the widow and administrator of Isaac, sold the estate to Ellis Holmes and her son, Isaac Symmes, excepting that part which had been set off in satisfaction of dower. Isaac Symmes in the same year sold his share to Ichabod Holmes, and in 1797 Ichabod and Ellis sold the estate to Enoch Randall. In 1830 Rutli Randall sold it to William Drew and William T. Drew, who built the double house now standing on the southerly part of the lot, and sold it tlie next year to John Bartlett and James Easdell Leonard. In 1843 Abby Leonard, the widow of James, sold the southerly part to John Sylvester, whose family occupied it many years, and sold it, in 1859, to P. G. Oehme, of whom it was purcliased, in 1873, by Martha T. Bartlett, the widow of Ephraim Bartlett, who now owns and occupies it. In 1846 John Bartlett sold the northerly part to Ezra Finney, the father of his wife, who sold it, in 1849, to Eleazer C. Sherman. Ml". Sherman occupied it for a short time, and sold it, in 1858, to Thomas Loring, who sold it, in 1880, to James R. Far'ris. The Symmes house was held by the Messrs. Drew until 1843, when it was sold to Timothy Gordon, who sold it, in 1850, to Theodore Drew. In the same year Mr. Di-ew sold it to Ephraim Spooner, who afterwards bought, in 1858, of Zachariah P. Symmes, the reversion of the dower of Joanna, the widow of Isaac Symmes, and obtained full title to the estate. Mr. Spooner occupied the house for some years, and sold it, in 1860, to Lucius Pratt, who sold it to its present owner. The remaining land as far as Rowland Street descended, like that last described, until it reached Consider Rowland, who sold it, in 1755, to John Waterman. Mr. Waterman built the house now standing on the corner, and it remained in his family and that of his heirs mitil 1787, when it was sold by Samuel Lucas, guardian of John Waterman, son of James, and grandson of tlie first John, to Barnabas Rolmes. Ml". Holmes occupied it some years, and after his death it was sold by his heirs, in 1855, to Johnson Davie, its present owner. The lot on which the house stands owned and occupied by William G. S. Wells passed, probably by inheritance, from John Waterman to Mercy Bramhall, who sold it, in 1785, to Ansel Faunae. Ansel Faunce built a house on the lot, and sold it, in 1787, to Thomas Covington, who TITLES OT ESTATES. 229 occupied it until 1797, wlien he sold it to Benjamin and Rufus Goddard. In 1803 Rufus sold Jiis part to Benjamin, who lived in the house until his death. After his death the old house was taken down, and the present one built by Jason Hart, who married his daughter Emily, In 1863 the Plymouth Savings Bank, the owner in possession under a mortgage from Jason and Emily W. Hart, sold it to the Plymouth Loan Fund Associa- tion, of whom it was purchased, in 1863, by Mr. Wells. Ilowland Street, opening next to the lot of Mr. Davie, was laid out in 1728 by Thomas Ilowland, who, by a deed recorded in the Plymoutli Registry, dedicated the land to public use. As all the lots from this point as far as the lot on the corner of North Street have already been traced into the Howland family from Thomas Southworth, the son-in-law of Governor Bradford, and father-in-law of Joseph Howland, a convey- ance from either member of the family will be taken as the basis of present titles. The lot on tlie south corner of Howland Street was con- veyed, in 1768, by Thomas Southworth Howland, son of Consider, grandson of Thomas, and great-grandson of Joseph Howland, to John Stephenson, who built a house on the lot and carried on the business of stone-cutting. The house was divided into three tenements, of whicli the middle one, after the death of Mr. Stephenson, became the property of his son, Jasper Hall Stephenson, and the otlier two of Mr. Stephenson's widow, Rebecca. In 1789 Jasper sold his part to Elizabeth, the wife of Lemuel Savery, and in 1803 Rebecca Stephenson sold her part to Jesse Harlow and Josiah Diman. After tlio death of Mr. Diman the southerly end came into tlie possession of his son, Thomas Diman, now living in Plymouth, wlio also bought the middle tenement of Mrs. Savery in 1827. The north end was sold by Messrs. Harlow and Diman, in 1807, to Free- man Bartlett, wlio occupied it many years, and sold it, in 1829, to Daniel Diman. In 1832 Mr. Diman sold it to Coomer Weston, Jr., who with Thomas Diman, then tlie owner of the remainder of the estate, built the double house now standing. In 1836 Mr. Diman sold the sontli pai-t to Thomas Torrey, whose family occupied it many years, and from whom il has come into the possession of Putnam Kimball, who married one of his daughters. In 1839 Mr. Weston sold the north part to George Churchill, who occupied it until his death, when it was sold, in 1873, by his son John, to Lemuel Bradford, 2d. Mr. Bradford also occupied it a short time, and sold it, in 1876, to Dr. John J. Shaw, its present owner and occupant. The next estate, now owned and occupied by William S. Danforth, was sold, in 1768, by Consider Howland to Thomas Ci-andon, with a house, which was standing as early as 1728, as Thomas Howland, in his deed of Howland Street in tliat year, described the street as beginning at a point seventy feet northerly from the house occupied by Israel Jackson. In 1769 Mr. Crandon sold the lot to Daniel Diman, who built 230 PLYMOUTH COLONY. the house now standing. In 1792 Mr. Diman sold it to his son David, who, in 1810, sold it to William Goodwin. In 1826 Isaac Goodwin and Thomas Russell, executors of the will of Mr. Goodwin, sold it to James Spooner, who, in 1827, sold it to Coomer Weston. Mr. Weston remod- elled the house, and after a few years' occupation sold it, in 1839, to Ephraim Finney, whose heirs sold it, after his death, to Mr. Danforth. The next lot was also sold in 1758 by Consider Howland tp Thomas Crandon, who sold it in 1769 to Daniel Diman. Mr. Diman built the house now standing, and in 1792 sold the northei'ly half to his son Josiah. The southerly half was devised by will to his daughter Elizabeth, subject to its improvement, for life by his widow. Patience Diman. Mrs. Diman married for a second husband Benjamin Warren, and after her death her daughter Elizabeth devised it to Daniel and David Diman, subject to its occupation for life by her mother's second husband. After the death of Elizabeth, Thomas Diman bought the estate, and after the death of his father Josiah, he purchased also the interest of other heirs in the north part, and thus became, as he continues, the owner of the whole estate, which he now occupies. The next lot was sold by Consider Howland in 1757 to James Warren, who sold it in 1791 to Daniel Diman. In 1803 it was sold by Patience Diman, the widow of Daniel, to John Bartlett and Seth Morton, who built the double house now standing. The northerly part is still owned and occupied by the heirs of Mr. Morton, and the southerly part was sold by Mr. Bartlett immediately after its completion to Benjamin Crandon, whose daughter Emily still occupies it. The next lot was also sold by Consider Howland to James WaiTcn in 1757, who sold it in 1793 to Ichabod Shaw, who built the house now standing, and occupied it during his life. After the death of Mr. Shaw and his widow it was sold in 1847 to Atwood L. Drew, whose widow now owns it. The next lot was sold in 1786 by Joanna White, the widow of Gideon White and daughter of Thomas Howland, to Nathaniel Harlow. The lot at that time had a barn standing upon it which Mr. Harlow converted into the house now standing and sold in 1789 to Josiah Cotton. Mr. Cotton occupied the house and added the projection on the southerly end which he used for an office. After his death it continued to be occu- pied by his widow, Priscilla Cotton, until her death, in 1869, when it was sold by Isaac L. Hedge, administrator on the estate of her husband, to John J. Russell in 1860. Mr. Russell occupied it some years, and sold it in 1871 to Georgianna Hedge, wife of Albert G. Hedge, who sold it in 1878 to WiUiam S. Robbins, by whom it is held as a tenement- . house. The next lot, on which the house stands occupied by William II. Whitman, was sold in 1761 to WiUiam Watson by Thomas Southworth TITLES OF ESTATES. 231 Kowland, administrator on the estate of his father, Consider Rowland. Mr. Watson mortgaged the estate in 1780 to Alexander Champion, Thomas Dickerson, and William Bm-ges of London, who, after obtaining possession, sold it in 1792 to John Davis, the son-in-law of Mr. Watson, who sold it in 1816, after the death of Mr. Watson, to William Davis. In the division of the estate of Mr. Davis it was set off to his son, Nathaniel M. Davis, who occupied it until his death; in 1849, when it was occupied by his son, William Davis, until his death, in 1863, after whicli it became the property of his widow, now the wife of William H. Whit- man, who still occupies it. The next lot, on which the Bank house, so called, now stands, was sold in 1759 by Consider Hovsrland to James Otis. In 1762 Mr. Otis sold it to Abraham Hammett, who gave a mortgage back to Mr Otis. Possession having been taken under the mortgage it was sold in 1786 by James Bowdoin, into whose hands it had passed, to Jesse Churchill, who built the wooden part of the house now standing, without the third story. Mr. Churchill, or Apostle Jesse as he was called, occupied it some years. Notwithstanding his pious appellation he suffered the ignominy of being read out of 'church by Cliandler Robbing, the minister of the First Church, who in a severe and denunciatory harangue to his congregation consigned him to the buffetings of Satan. In 1796 Mr. Churchill sold the estate to Nathaniel Lewis, who sold it in 1802 to Martin Parris, who again sold it the next year to the Plymouth Bank, which was established in 1803. Tlie brick addition on the southerly end was built for a banking house, and so occupied until the bank was moved into its present quarters. During its occupancy by the bank the dwelling was occupied first by William Goodwin, cashier of the bank, and afterwards by his nephew, Nathaniel Goodwin, his successor in that office. In 1846 it was sold by the bank to Andrew L. Kussell, who added the third story, and it is now the property of his heirs. The next lot, on which the house stands occupied by Dr. James B. Brewster, is a part of the corner lot which, in the earliest records, belong'ed to John Morton, brother of Secretary Nathaniel Morton, and w.as sold by him in 1654 to Joseph Green. From Mr. Green it passed into the hands of Tliomas Rowland, wlio sold it in 1713 to Ignatius Gushing. Mr. Gushing sold it in the same year to Josiah Cotton, who sold it in 1724 to Edmund Tilson. Mr. Tilson sold it to Consider How- land, from whom it was inherited by his son, Thomas Southworth Rowland, who sold it in 1761 to Jonathan Diman. In 1763 Mr. Diman sold 9, strip of land twenty-four feet wide, next to the bank lot, to William Tliomas, who built a barn on the lot opposite to his dwelling-house, now owned by Albert C. Chandler. After the death of Mr. Thomas this lot was bought with the dwelling-house by his grandson, the late John B. Thomas. In 1842 Mr. Thomas bought of Rowland E. Cotton a piece 232 PLYMOUTH COLONT. of land adjoining it on the south, and biiilt the house now standing,' which was occupied many years by Isaac N. Stoddard, the husband of his dangliter Martha. After the death of Mr. Thomas the estate was set off to Mrs. Stoddard, who sold it in 1865 to Hannah W. Russell, the widow of Andrew L. Russell. Mrs. Russell occupied it until 1870, when she sold it to its present owners. Makicet Street. — Proceeding now in regular order, the next street to be considered is Market Street. Prior to 1687, after the probable sur- render by original owners, or as the result of conveyances not on record, James Cole, as has been previously stated, owned all the land bounded by Leyden Street on the north, the land of Major William Bradford, now owned by Frederic L. Holmes, George Henry Drew and others on tlie east, the Town Brook on the south, and Market Street on the west, except a small lot on Market Street owned by Nathaniel Morton, which will be described hereafter. In 1688 he conveyed to his son, John Cole, all that part of the above land lying between Market Street and a point on Leyden Street fourteen feet westerly of the house in which he lived, excepting the lot above mentioned, on which Abraham Jackson, the son- in-law of Nathaniel Morton, had recently built a house, and one other lot on Market Street, which he had sold, in 1687, to William Shurtleff. The land sold to John Cole included at its easterly boundai-y the lot on which the Baptist church now stands, and the house in which James , Cole lived stood where the house now stands owned by Ephraim T. Paty. In 1688 John Cole sold all the land which he bought of his father to William Shurtleff, who had, as above stated, already become the owner of a small portion of it bounded by Market Street. The history of that part of it on which the corner house stands has been already given under the head of Leyden Street. The next lot, on which the house stands owned by William R. Drew, and occupied by Benjamin Churchill, was a part of the corner lot, and was, sold by Mr. Shurtleff, in 1698, to Isaac Little, who sold it, in 1699, to James Warren. Mr. Warren sold the lot, in 1713, to Job Cushman, who sold it, in 1728, to Addington Davenport. Mr. Davenport sold it, in 1732, to Consider Howland, who sold it, in 1738, to Thomas Murdock, wliose widow married a Thompson for a second husband. Mrs. Thomp- son was a sister of Mercy, the wife of Sylvanus Bramhall, and at lier death gave the estate to her nephew, Benjamin Bramhall, son of Syl- vanus. Mr. Bramhall built the store in question, and the whole property remained in his family until it was sold by his sons, William and Cor- nelius, in 1848, to Mr. Drew, its present owner. The next lot, on which the store stands owned by Sarah S. Sherman, and occupied by Benjamin C. Finney, is a part of the land sold to Wil- liam Shurtleff by Jolm Cole in 1688, and the house now standing was TITLES OF ESTATES. 233 built by him and sold, in 1729, to his son Nathaniel, who made it his. residence. In 1749 Mr. Shurtleflf sold it to John Watson, who sold it, in 1752, to Joseph Fnlgham. In 1779 the administrators of Mr. Fulgham sold it to Robert Brown, who occupied it until 1797, when he sold it to Nathan Reed, who made it his residence until his death, which occurred within the memory of many readei's. In 1856 his widow, Rebecca Reed, sold it to Barnabas H. Holmes, who converted it into a store, and conveyed it, during the pi-esent year, to his daughter, Mrs. Sherman. The land next south of the lot above mentioned, as far as the north- erly line of the shop occupied by Thomas N. Eldridge, is the lot which William Shurtleff bought in 1687 of James Cole, the year before he bought the larger tract of John Cole. Mr. Shurtleff soon after built the house on the lot which many readers will remember, and kept an inn. At Mr. Shurtleff 's inn the members of the Plymouth church met during their difficulties with Mr. Cotton, their minister, and came to the deter- mination to release him from his " ofla.ce bond " as pastor. In 1715 Mr. Shurtleff sold the estate to his son Jabez, who occupied it until he sold it, in 1724, to Samuel Bartlett. It was occupied by Mr. Bartlett and his heirs until 1795, when it was sold to Thomas Witherell, who sold it, in 1803, to Elkanah Watson, whose heirs sold it, in 1812, to Robert Dun- ham. Mr. Dunham occupied the house many years, and kept a stable within the memory of the writer on that part of the lot now occupied by the bake-house and its yard. During the occupancy of the house by Mr. Dunham, there were two stores in the lower part, of which the southerly one was occupied at one time by Nathan Reed, and afterwards by Lazarus Syrames ; and the northerly one by Sylvanus Bramhall, Sr., Stephen Rogers, and lastly, " Nancy and Eliza," as they were called, about whom sweet memories cluster with those who were children at the time, and received from them a liberal equivalent in candies for their cents and fonr-pence-half-pennies. After the death of Mr. Dunham the southerly half of this estate was set off to his daughter Caroline, the wife of John D. Gardner of Boston, and the northerly half to his daugh- ter, Sally Barnes, the wife of Phineas Leach, In 1845, after the death of Mrs. Leach, Allen Danforth, the guardian of her children, sold the north half to Mr. Leach, who took down the old house and built that now standing, owned by the widow of Zaben Olney. Mr. Leach occu- pied it some years, and sold it, in 1855, to Jacob H. Loud, who sold it, in 1861, to the late Zaben Olney. The southerly half of the lot was sold, in 1852, by John D. Gardner, trustee, to Samuel Talbot and George Churchill, who built the bake- house now standing. In 1853 Messrs. Talbot and Churchill sold the estate to Everett E. Sherman and Asa A. Whiting, and retired from business. In 1856 Messrs. Sherman and Whiting sold an undivided third to Foster Perkins, whose heirs resold it to them in 1857. In 1868 234 PLYMOUTH COLONY. Mr. Sherman sold his interest to Mr. Whiting, wlio can-ied on the busi- ness until 1863, when he sold it to Isaac B. Holmes. After three years' occupation Mr. Holmes sold it, in 1866, to George A. Whiting and Leavitt Finney, and in 1870 Mr. Finney sold his part to Mr. Whiting. In 1871 Mr. Whiting sold an undivided half to his brother, John II. Whiting, who resold it to him in 1875, leaving George A. Whiting, as he continues, the owner of the whole estate. The land next south of the above, as far as the northerly line of the estate of the late John B. Atwood, is the lot excepted in the deed from James to John Cole in 1688. It had been owned and occupied by Nathaniel Morton, who doubtless found in the latter part of his life his old residence at Hobbs' Hole Brook too far from the field of his duties sis Secretary of the Colony. After his death, in 1685, the lot came into the possession of his son-in-law, Abraham Jackson, who built a house in 1687 and occupied it as his residence. The estate passed after the death of Abraham Jackson, in 1705, to his son Nathaniel, who gave it to his son Joseph, from whom it was inherited by his daughter Remembrance, wife of Thomas Dillingham, who sold it in 1765 to Abiel Shurtleflf, son of William Shurtleflf above mentioned. Mr. Shurtleflf took down the old Jackson house and built and occupied the dwelling-house now standing on the middle of the lot. In 1770 Mr. Shurtleflf sold the estate to Andrew Croswell, who occupied the dwelling-house, and built on its south side the shop, which, until within a few years, stood on the site of the store now occupied by Christopher T. Harris. In 1782 Mr. Croswell sold the northerly part of the lot to Robert Brown, who built the store, which was occupied by the late Ephraim Bartlett, and which after being partially burned a few years since was taken down and replaced by the present building, which was moved from the old Witherell lot on Main Street, on which Odd Fellows' Hall now stands. In 1851 William Brown, son of Robert, who had occupied the store, sold it to Antipas Brigham, who also occupied it some years, and whose widow, Mercy Brigham, sold it in 1875 to George A. Whiting, its present owner. Besides Mr. Brown and Mr. Brigham the shop was at various times occupied by Stephen Lucas, Harvey Shaw, and William Barnes. The remainder of the lot, with the dwelling-house and shop on its south side, was sold, in 1797, by Mr. Croswell to William Leonard, who occupied it many years, and sold it, in 1825, to John Macomber, who also lived many years on the estate. In 1847 Mr. Macomber mortgaged it to Jacob Hahn of Boston, who took possession in 1861, and whose heirs sold it, in 1874, to Josiah A. Robbins, its present owner. The lot on which the house of the late John B. Atwood stands was owned in the eiirly days of the colony by Experience Mitchell, who came in the Ann in 1623. His dwelling-house was there, and in 1631 he sold it for twelve pounds to Samuel Eddy, who came in the Handmaid to TITLES OF ESTATES. 235 Plymouth in 1630. In 1645 Samuel Eddy sold it to John Thompson, and the land is next found in the hands of James Cole as above mentioned, by whose son John it was sold to William Shurtleff in 1688. Mr. Shurt- leff sold it, in 1708, to Eleazer Dunham, who built a house on the lot and sold it, in 1713, to Jonathan Waldo, by whom it was sold, in 1726, to Thomas Delano, grandson of Philip Delano and husband of Mary, daughter of John Alden. In 1729 Mr. Delano sold it to Thomas Barker of Pembroke, who sold it, in 1739, to Timothy Burbank. In 1771 Mr. Burbank, after a long occupation, sold it to Ezra Burbank, from whom it passed to Elkanah Watson, who sold it, in 1804, to Benjamin Bramhall and others, and moved to the house farther up the street which he had recently bought of Thomas Witherell. In 1833 Mr. Bramhall, with the other owners, sold it to Isaac Bartlett, who took down the old house and built the present one, which he occupied until his death, and which was afterwards sold, in 1855, by Charles Bartlett, who had come into pos- session under a mortgage, to John B. Atwood. The land next south of the Atwood house as far as the brook was sold by William Shurtleff, in 1716, to Joshua Bramhall, from whom it passed into the hands of his son, Sylvanus Bramhall. Either Joshua or Sylvanus built the house now owned by the estate of Barnabas H. Holmes and John D. Churchill, and it remained in the hands of the Bramhall family until 1798, wlien the heirs of Sylvanus Bramhall sold a part of the house to Ezra Burbank, from whom it passed under an execution, in 1830, to David Burbank, by whom and by Olive Burbank it was sold, in 1849, to Robert Cowen. The remainder of the land as far as the brook and the other part of the dwelling-house continued in the Bramhall family, and the building owned by the estate of William Morey, Jr., was built by Sylvanus Bramh.all, son of Sylvanus above mentioned, and grandfather of the late Sylvanus. In 1869 it was sold by Kuth M. Bramhall to William Morey, Jr., who sold to Robert Cowen in the same year that part of the dwelling-house of which he was not already the owner. In 1867 the heirs of Robert Cowen sold to William Morey the whole dwelling-house, and Mr. Morey sold the same, in 1872, to Messrs. Holmes & Churchill, the present owners. Mr. Morey also sold to Josiah C. Fuller, in 1873, the lot on which the shop built and occupied by Mr. Fuller now stands, leaving himself the ovmer of the remainder of the estate. The lot on which the town-house stands has never been granted to any individual. One of the houses erected during the first winter occu- pied it, but it was never the subject of any grant, and continued in the jjossession of the colony. Here what was called in early deeds the counti'y-house stood, the house in which the business of the colony was transacted. The General Court, the law courts, and the meetings of the town were held in the building, thcragh at what date the structure was 236 PLYMOUTH GOLONT. erected, and when the town meetings ceased to be held in the church, is not known. The old building continued to be used for the purposes above indicated until 1749, when the present structure was ei'ected, towards the building of which the town paid one thousand pounds in old tenor money, or about five hundred dollars, in excess of its share, in con- sideration of the privilege of its use for the transaction of town business. At that time the jail and jail house stood on the land in Summer Street now occupied by the house recently purchased by Everett F. Sherman of Peter W. Smith and others. Originally the entrance to what is now the town-house was by a flight of steps on the easterly end, but in 1786 it was changed to the north side and a market established at the Market Street end. At first the market was located in a one-stoiy wooden projection, but at a later day the addition was removed and the market transferred to the basement, where stalls were leased to different persons as in the Quincy and Boylston and other markets in Boston. Among the various occupants of the markets before its abandonment were Richard and Barnabas Holmes, Charles Whiting, Brackley Gushing, Joseph White, Elisha Nelson, and Amasa Holmes. In 1821, after the erection of the present court-house, the building was purchased by the town for a town-house at the cost of two thousand dollars, and for many years the hall remained as it was left by the county, with the judges' bench, criminal, sheriiT, and crier's boxes, and jury seats, as originally constructed. In 1839 the hall was remodelled, and a longer flight of stairs built to suit the new design. In 1858 the room now occupied by the selectmen, which had previously been used as a fire-engine room, was finished off, and the engine moved into the basement. It is already a matter of interest that this spot has been so long associated with the business house of the colony and county and town, and it is to be hoped that whenever it may be thought expedient to erect a new building for town purposes it may be retained as its perpetual site. In 1881 the use of the hall in the upper stoiy was gi-anted to the public libraiy. Tlie lot on Market Street, next south of the town-house, at the earliest recorded date, was in the possession of John Murdock. In 1695 he con- veyed it to Nathaniel Thomas, and it remained in the Thomas family until 1779, when John Thomas, the grandson of Nathaniel, sold it to LeBaron Bradford and Thomas Davis, Jr. In 1818 Mrs. Bradford, who had come into possession of the whole estate after the death of her husband and brother, sold it to John Blanov Bates, who sold it in the same year to Nabby Brown, the wife of William Brown. The present building, including in the rear the hall whicli was known as Old Colony Hall was built while the property was in the possession of the Thomas family. The liall referred to, about twenty feet wide and thirty-five feet long, now removed, was in many respects for many years the most TITLES OF ESTATES. 237 commodious one in town, and was used for lectures, exhibitions, dancing- schools, and kindred purposes, and in the early days of the Universalist Society, before their church was built, was occupied by them for Sunday worship. It may surprise young readers to learn that in the early part of this century hall accommodations were so deficient that anniversary balls were held at Burbank's Hall, in the rear of tlie Samuel Burbank house in Middle Street, and on more than one occasion in Turner's Hall, at the foot of Leyden Street, where Mr. Turner's blockmaker's shop on the lower floor was used as a supper-room to which access was had from the ball-room by a temporary stairway leading through a trap-door in the floor. To older readers the recollection of these halls will recall visions of Peg and Pero, the colored musicians who shared with iDauphin the patronage of the dancing public. It was a new era when the new coui't- house, then approaching completion, was used for the anniversary ball in 1820. In 1824 Pilgrim Hall was built, and for many years, until Davis Hall was erected, fully met, together with the hall in the hotel at the corner of Middle Street, the requirements of the town. In Brown's building George Drew at one time kept a store, and Judge Thomas his office, and in later times its front rooms were occupied by the post-ofiice imder the management of William Brown, and the cellar by Henry Flanders, as an eating-room and oystei'-shop. In 1859 the estate was sold by Robert Brown, son of "William, in his capacity as trustee, to Amasa and Charles T. Holmes, who fitted up the market now occupied by the latter, and in 1861 Amasa sold his share to Charles, who is now its sole owner. In Old Colony Hall the Old Colony Club was instituted, and the Con- ■ stitntion of the Club is " dated at our Hall in Plymouth, January 16, 1769." The original members who signed the constitution at that date wore Isaac Lothrop, Pelham Winslow, Thomas Lothrop, Elkanah Cush- man, John Thomas, Edward Winslow, Jr., and John Watson. The first celebration of the anniversary of the landing was held in that hall in the following December, and there in 1770 the first anniversary address was delivered by Edward Winslow, Jr. John Thomas, one of the members of the club, was the ovmer of the hall, and it is not unlikely that it was built for its use and occupation. The land between the above lot and High Street, as far back as the records i-each, was owned by Abraham Jackson, to whom it was prob- ably gi-anted either by the colony or town, though no record of the grant exists. In 1693 it was sold by Nathaniel Jackson, a son of Abraham, to Natlianiel Thomas, who Avas living in a house standing on the lot as early as 1695. In 1780 John Thomas, the gi-andson of Nathaniel, who probably built the present house, sold tlie northerly half to Benjamin Rider, who in 1784 sold it to Mary Mayhew. In 1803 Mrs. Mayhew sold 238 PLTMOXTTH COLONY. ^ it to Samuel Robbing, who in 1832 sold it to his son Samnel, who occu- pied it ;is a resklonce until his death. It afterwards passed into the hands of Robert Cowen, son-in-law of Mr. Robbins, who occupied it also until his death* and was sold by his heirs in 1880 to Charles T. Holmes The southerly half was sold in 1792 by Hannah Thomas, the widow of Nathaniel, the brother of John Thomas, to Irene Thompson, who sold it in 1799 to Ichabod' Davie, who held it as a tenement-house until his death. It was sold in 1868 by the heirs of Mr. Davie to the town of Plymouth for the purpose of widening High Street, and that part of the estate not i-equired by the town was sold in 1870 to the heirs of Robert Cowen, who sold it with the other half to Mr. Holmes. The land between the above estate and Summer Street was also owned by Abraham Jackson, whose son Nathaniel sold that part of it now covered by the house of Samuel Talbot and the store occupied by John E. Luscomb, in 1711, to Samuel Kempton, who built the house now occupied by Samuel Talbot, and occupied it for a time as his residence. In 1795 his son, John Kempton, who had also occupied the above house, sold the northei-ly half to his daughters, Deborah and Joanna Kempton, who occupied it as a dwelling-house and store many years. During its ownership by John Kempton, in 1797, a part of the land was thrown out for tlie purpose of opening High Street, which, until 1823, was called Thaclicr Street, Joanna, at her death, devised her share to her sister, and Deborah convoyed the whole in 1823 to her nephew, John Kemp- ton, who soon after abandoned his business as caulker and graver and carried on the store. In 1844 William Morton Jackson, his assignee, sold it to Samuel Talbot, who already owned the southerly half. The southerly half was sold in 1785 by John Kempton to Joseph Trask, whose grandson, Joseph Trask Bartlett, sold it in 1822 to Ichabod Davie. It was sold by Mr. Davie in 1825 to Jacob and Abner S. Taylor, who sold it the next year to Mr. Talbot, who now owns. and occupies the whole estate. The next lot, on which the store occupied by Mr. Luscomb stands, was a part of the land purch.ased in 1711 by Samuel Kempton of Nathaniel Jackson. In 1750 Mr. Kempton sold it to Daniel Diman, who built a house, and sold it in 1770 to Jonathan King. Mr. King occupied the house as a place of residence until 1774, when he sold it to Jeremiah Howes, who lived on the estate until his death, when it was sold in 1793 by his son Sylvanus Howes to Lois Doten, who afterwards man-ied Benjamin Warren. Mrs. Warren died a few 5 ears after, and her husband married for a second wife Patience Diman, the widow of Daniel Diman. After her death Mr. Warren, as her administrator, sold it in 1803 to Samuel Spear, who owned it until 1818, when he sold it to William Davis. During its ownership by Mr. Spear the old house was taken down and the lot remained vacant until the present structure, which was TITLES OF ESTATES. 239 the old jail-house in Court Square, w.is bought and placed on the lot soon after its purchase by Mr. Davis. After the death of Mr. Davis it was set off in the division of his estate to the heirs of his son William, and sold by them in 1830 to William Morey, who occupied it many years. After a long occupancy by him and tenants under him Mr. Morey sold it in 18C7 to Everett F. Sherman, who is ita present owner. The lot on the corner of Market and Summer Streets, which was also a part of the land of Abraham Jackson, was sold by him in 1690 to Richard Cooper, who at the time of its purchase occupied a blacksmith's shop on the lot. After the death of Mr. Cooper the estate passed to his son John, and from John to his son Nathaniel, who sold it with a store in 1783 to James Robbins. Mr. Robbins sold it in 1797 to Stephen Bartlett, who owned it until 1826, when he sold it to Bridgham Russell, who occupied the store until 1830, when he sold it to Isaac Bartlett. Mr. Bartlett took down the old building and erected the present brick building for the use and occupancy of liis son Ephraini. From Isaac Bartlett the estate passed under a mortgage into the hands of Charles Bartlett, whose heii's sold it in 1852 to Samuel and Thomas Brancli Sherman, by whom it was occupied many years, and from whom it passed into the possession of Everett F. Shei-man, son of Samuel, its present owner and occupant. Summer Street. — The first lot on Summer Street, that on which the house stands owned and occupied by Everett F. Sherman, is the lot on which the old colonial prison stood, and is so referred to in deeds as early as 1690. Thacher states, in his History of Plymouth, that the first prison was erected in 1641, near Little Brook, but the writer is inclined to the opinion that the prison built on the land in question was the first prison in the colony. A deed of adjoining land from George Bonum to Richard Cooper, in 1690, fixes it there at that date beyond a question, and it is not probable, either that it would have been built on so distant a site as that mentioned by Thacher at the early date of 1641, or that it would have been so soon moved into the more compactly built settle- ment. The date of the erection, as stated by Thacher, is undoubtedly correct, as the Old Colony records speak of work on the prison in that year. The prison land, as described in the records, began at a point thirty- one feet easterly of the corner of the house of Richard Cooper, now occupied by James Cox, ninety feet easterly of the lot of Neheraiah Ripley, now owned by the heirs of Benjamin Hathaway and the heirs of George W. Virgin, and nineteen feet westerly of the southwest corner of the jail-house. It extended from that point north, eleven degrees west a little over fifty feet, thence northeasterly sixty-six feet, and thence soutli twenty and one-half degrees east to a point on Summer Street, 240 PLYMOUTH COLONY. eighty feet from the point of starting. In 1778, after a new jail had been built in Court Square on land bought by the county, in 1773, of the first precinct, the land and old buildings were sold to Charles Henry, who sold the land, in 1783, to Jesse Churchill. In 1789 Mr. Churchill sold it to Elnathan Holmes, who built the house now standing on the lot. In 1805 and 1810 Elnathan Holmes sold it to Isaac Barnes, who sold it, in 1825, to Elnathan S. Holmes. In the same year Mr. Holmes sold it to William P. Ripley, who, in 1835, sold a part to Deborah Holmes, the widow of Elnathan, a part to Rebecca Faunce, and the remainder to Ephraim Morton. In 1839 Mrs. Holmes sold lier part to Mr. Morton, who in the same year sold a part of his share to Rebecca H. Faunce, the daughter-in-law of Rebecca Faunce, and now the wife of Samuel Talbot, and the remainder to Jane (Faunce) Smith, the wife of Peter W. Smith, and also the daughter of Rebecca Faunce. Jane Smith, in 1842, conveyed a part to her sister, Dorcas M. Pierce, and in 1858 Mrs. Talbot conveyed her share to Peter W. Smith, making Peter W. Smith, his wife Jane, and her sister Doi'cas, after the death of Rebecca Faunce, the owners of the whole estate. In 1877 it was sold by them to Everett F. Sherman, the present owner and occupant. The next lot, on which the house stands now owned and occupied by Peter W. Smith and others, is a part of a tract of land extending as far as Spring Lane, which Richard Sparrow conveyed to George Bonum in 1656. In 1690 Mi-. Bonum sold this lot to Richard Cooper, and in 1782 Richard Cooper, grandson of Richard, sold it to Samuel Jackson. In 1788 Mr. Jackson sold it to George Sampson, who sold it, in the same year, to Thomas Cooper. In 1793 Mr. Cooper sold it to Elnathan Holmes, who sold a part, in 1804, to John Bartlett, and the remainder, in 1810, to Marston Sampson. Mr. Bai-tlett, who was the father of the late John Bartlett, who kept a store on Main Street, built the house now standing, and in 1809 sold it to Ichabod Davie, who bought in tliat year the part belonging to Marston Sampson, and added it to his homestead lot. Mr. Davie lived on the estate until his death, after which it was occupied by his widow, who devised it by will to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. In 1870 it was sold by the Board to the late Ichabod S. Holmes, whose heirs sold it, in 1876, after his death, to Everett F. Sherman, of whom it was purchased, in 1877, by Peter W. Smith and others, its present owners and occupants. The next lot, on which the block of houses stands owned by James Cox and Stephen P. Brown, was also sold, in 1690, by George Bonum to Richard Cooper, who built the house now standing and occupied it. In 1782 Richard Cooper, the gi-andson of Richard, sold the easterly end to Samuel Jackson, who sold it, in 1788, to George Sampson. In the same year Mr. Sampson sold it to Thomas Cooper, who sold it, in 1793, to Elnathan Holmes. In 1800 Mr. Holmes sold it to Isaac Barnes, who TITLES or ESTATES, 241 sold it, in 1801, to Zephaniah Holmes, the father of N'ancy, the wife of James Cox, its present owner and occupant. The westerly part of the estate was sold by Richard Cooper, in 1768, to John Cooper, whose administrators sold it, in 1795, to Benjamin Cooper. In 1801 Benjamin Cooper sold it to Robert Davie, whose widow sold it in the same year to Lemuel Brown, who occupied it many years. After the death of Mr. Brown it was owned by his sons, Stephen P. and Joseph P. Brown, until 1870, when Joseph sold his sliare to Stephen, to whose daughter, Alice W. Raymond, it now belongs. The next lot, on which the house stands occupied by the widow of Benjamin Hathaway in part, and in part recently by the widow of George W. Virgin, is a part of the land which was owned, as above mentioned, by Richard Sparrow and George Bonum. In 1711 Mr. Bonum sold it to Nathaniel Jackson, who sold it, in 1716, to Simon Lovell. Mr. Lovell built the house now standing, and sold it, in 1726, to Nathaniel Ripley. In 1736 Mr. Ripley sold it to the second James Warren, who made it his residence, and sold it, in 1748, to Nehemiah Ripley, the son of Nathaniel, above mentioned, and grandfather of the late William P. Ripley. From Nehemiah it passed into the possession of his grandson, William P. Ripley, who, in 1833, after moving into the new house on North Street which he had bought of Jacob and Abner S. Taylor, sold the westerly part of the estate to the heirs of Robex't Dun- ham, of whom Mary Ann, the widow of Thomas Long, was one, and who afterwards came into its possession. In 1837 the property was mortgaged by Mrs. Long to her brother-in-law, Phineas Leach, who assigned his mortgage, in 1813, to Benjamin Hathaway, by whom possession was taken in 1845, and by whom, since that time, it has been owned and occupied. In 1837 Mrs. Ripley conveyed the easterly end to Priscilla Weston, the mother of George W. Virgin, from whom it was inherited by Mr. Virgin, by whom and his widow it was occupied until their deaths, and by whose heirs it is now owned. The two next lots, on which stand the houses owned by the Methodist Episcopal church and the heirs of Jacob Covington, are a part of the land above mentioned, sold in 1711 by George Bonum to Nathaniel Jackson. In 1720 Mr. Jackson sold this part to Thomas Spooner, the great-gi-andfather of the late Bourne Spooner, who built a house on the lot, which he occupied until his death. In 1797, it having come into the possession of Nathaniel Spooner, he took down all the old house, except the easterly end, and built the Covington house, which he occupied until his death. The easterly end he converted into the house now standing, which his widow, Maiy Spooner, sold, in 1828, to Isaac Tribble. During its ownership by Mrs. Spooner it was occupied a part of the time by her son, Bourne Spooner, some of whose children were born in the house. In 1830 Mr. Tribble sold it to Schuyler Sampson, 242 PLYMOUTH COLONY. who occupied it until his death, after which it was occupied by his heirs, and sold, in 1868, to Joseph B. Whiting, who sold it, in 1871, to the Metliodist Episcopal church, who occupy it as a parsonage. The Covington house was sold by Mrs. Spooner, in 1828, to Jacob Covington, who occupied it until he built the house on North Street, now occupied by Nathaniel Morton, in which he afterwards lived and died, and by whose heirs it is now owned. The next lot, a part also of the land of Bonum, was sold, in 1711, by him to Nathaniel Jackson, who sold it in the same year to Charles Church. In 1713 Mr. Cliurch sold it to Ebenezer Dunham, who sold it, iu 1721, to Joseph Rider, by whom the house now standing was built. The easterly end now owned by the estate of Stephen P. Brown descended to Benjamin Rider, the son of Joseph, and from him to his daughter Patience, the wife of George Sampson, who sold it, in 1822, to Joseph White. In the same year Mr. White sold it to Daniel Gale, who sold it, in 1837, to Jacob and Abner S. Taylor, of whom it w.as purchased, in 1868, by Stephen P. and Josepli P. Brown. In 1847 Joseph sold his share to his brother Stephen. The westerly end passed from Joseph Rider to his daughter Lydia, wife of Jacob Albertson, who sold it, in 1798, to Amasiah Harlow. . In 1799 Mr. Harlow sold it to William Goddard, whose heirs sold it in the same year to Sarah Goddard, one of their number, who afterwards married Robert Dunham. In 1813 Mr. Dunham sold it to Charles Whiting, who sold it back to Mr. Dunham in the same year. It passed from Mr. Dunham into the hands of George Drew, who sold it, in 1839, to Lydia Cotton, whose heirs sold it, in 1843. to Isaac J. Lucas, its recent owner and occupant. The next lot, which forms the garden of the Battles house, was sold by George Bonum to Nathaniel Jackson in 1711, who sold it, in 1714, to James Barnaby and Haviland Torrey. In 1725 Mr. Bonum, who by a division of land owned in common with Mr. Torrey had come into its possession, sold it to Thomas Branch. In 1760 Experience, daughter of Mr. Branch, and wife of Samuel Sherman, sold it to Nathaniel Shurtleff, who conveyed it, in 1786, to his daughters, Lydia and Thankful, who will be remembered by older readers as the occupants of an old house on the lot. In 1810 the heirs of Lydia Shurtleff sold it to Lewis Goodwin, who sold it, in 1816, to George Drew. In 1818 and 1828 Mr. Drew sold it in separate parcels to John Battles, who had pi-eviously purchased the house adjoining. The lot on which the Battles house stands is a part of the land sold in 1714 by Nathaniel Jackson to James Barnaby and Haviland Torrey, and in the division above mentioned was set off to Mr. Torrey. Mr. Torrey sold it, in 1743, to Nathaniel Thomas, whose widow, Hannah Thomas, sold it, in 1760, to Daniel Diman. In 1762 Mr. Diman sold it to John Cotton, who was the owner of the house and land adjoining. In 1808 TITLES OF ESTATES. 243 the heirs of Mr. Cottou sold it to Thomas Covington, who sold it, in 1809, to Joel Perkins, by whom the Battles house was built, and sold, in 1812, to John Battles, who occupied it many years. In 1869 John Battles, Jr., and other heirs of John Battles sold it to Isaac Conant. The next lot, on which the Leach house, so called, stands, was con- veyed, in 1656, by Richard Sparrow to George Bonum, who, in 1679, conveyed it to Robert Barrow, the husband of his daughter Ruth, with the house now standing. In 1715 Lydia Barrow, the widow of Robert, the nephew of the first Robert BaiTow, gave it to her son Robert, who sold it, in 1725, to his brother Elisha. In 1736 Elisha Barrow sold it to Nathaniel Thomas, whose widow, Hannah Thomas, sold it, in 1760, to Daniel Diman. In 1762 Mr. Diman sold it to Jolin Cotton, who, it is known, made it his residence. In 1800 the heirs of Mr. Cotton sold it to Levi Lucas, whose widow and executrix, Betsey Lucas, sold it, in 1817, to Isaac B.irnes. In 1818 Mr. Barnes sold it to Finney Leach, who lived and died on the estate, and from whose heirs it passed, in 1876, into the hands of Charles G. Davis, its present owner, who holds it as a tenement- house. The land between Spring and Ring Streets was granted by the town to Richard Cooper, who gave it up to the town in 1708 in ex- change for other land. In 1713 it was granted to John Wood, whose possession will be taken as the basis of titles. The lot on the southerly corner of Spring Street was sold, in 1719, by Nathaniel "Wood, or Atwood, the son of John Wood, to his sons, Na- thaniel and Barnabas Atwood, who sold it, in 1726, to Thomas Spooner, with a dwelling-house on the lot. In the same year Mr. Spooner sold it to John Atwood, who sold it, in 1756, to Caleb Stetson. In 1769 Mr. Stetson sold it to Samuel Bartlett and Thomas Spooner, who sold it, in 1763, to Jabez Harlow. In 1789 Experience Harlow, the widow of Jabez, sold it to John Bishop, who built the house now standing, and occupied it as a residence until 1822, when he sold it to Ezra Finney.. Mr. Finney occupied it until his death, and since that time it has beea owned by his heirs, some of whom continue to occupy it. The next lot, on which the Rider house, so called, stands, was sold,, rai 1719, by the heirs of John Wood to John Cooper, whose widow, Sarahi Cooper, sold it, in 1782, to William Crombie, who built the house now- standing on the lot. It was occupied by him, and Fanny and Catharine Crombie, until 1823, when it was sold by the latter to Caleb Riden After the death of Mr. Rider, who had made it his residence, his widow, Rosamond D. Rider, sold the easterly part to Mary M. Whiting, the widow of Asa A. Whiting. The westerly part was retained by Mrs. Rider, who afterwards married William Allen, and now occupies it. The next lot, on which the house stands owned and occupied by Ellis Drew, was sold by the heirs of John Wood, in 1719, to John Cooper, 244 PLYMOUTH COLOJJY. whose widow, Sarah Cooper, sold it, in 1782, to William Crombie, In 1796 Mr. Crombie sold it to his son, Calvin Crombie, from whose estate it passed into the hands of Nathaniel Russell, Samuel Spear, William Davis, and Barnabas Hedge, the proprietors of the Iron Works. In 1819 Mr. Spear sold his share to the other proprietors, and in 1837 Mr. Russell bought the shares of Mr. Davis and Mr. Hedge. In 1847 Mr. Russell sold the lot to Ellis Di'ew, who added a strip of land four feet wide, bought in the same year of Caleb Rider, and built the house, which he still owns and occupies. The next lot, on which the Dike house stands, was sold by the heirs of John Wood, in 1719, to John Cooper, whose widow, Sarah Cooper, sold it, in 1782, to William Crombie. In 1796 William Crombie sold it to Oalvin Crombie, who sold it, in 1806, to Joel Perkins. In 1809 Mr. Perkins sold it to the proprietors of the Iron Works, who sold it, in 1824, to Simeon Dike, who occupied it many years, and sold it, in 1842, to Nathaniel Russell and Nathaniel Russell, Jr., whose heirs sold it, in 1880, to John Washburn. The next lot, on which a double house stands, passed, like the lots already described, from the heirs of John Wood, in 1719, to John Cooper, and went into the hands of William Crombie in 1782. From the Ci'ombie estate it passed into the possession of the proprietors of the Iron Works, and was sold, in 1840, to Ephraim Finney. In 1841 Mr. Finney sold it to Ezra Finney and Elkanah C. Finney, who built the liouse now standing The westerly part was assigned by a subsequent division to Eikanah, whose widow still occupies it, and the easterly to Ezra, whose daughter, the wife of Heni-y Mills, occupied it for several years. In 1857 Ezra Finney sold the easterly part to William Holmes, who sold it, in 1861, to Eudora Bradford. In the latter year Eudora Brsidford conveyed it to Mary A. Holmes, the wife of William Holmes, who sold it, in 1869, to John Washburn, its present owner and occupant. The next two lots, on which the Robinson house and the Faunce house, so called, stand, passed from the heirs of John Wood to John Holmes, who sold them, in 1725, to Thomas Morton. After the death of Mr. Morton they were inherited by his two daughters, Bathsheba, the wife of John Rickai-d', and Martha, the wife of Silas Morton. By a division made in 1749 the Robinson lot was assigned to Martha, and the Faiince lot to Bathsheba. In 1786 Martha sold her part to William Crombie, who, in 1796, sold it to his son William. In 1804 Calvin Crombie sold it to John D. Dunbar, who was at that time a lawyer in Plymouth, and who built the house now standing. In 1808 Mr. Dunbar sold it to tlie proprietors of the Iron Works, and it was occupied many years by Nathaniel Russell, and after him by hi's son Nathaniel. In 1810 tlie Messrs. Russell sold it to Micah Richmond, who, in 1841, sold TITLES OF ESTATES. 245 the easterly half to Eleazer Stevens Bartlett, and in 1846 the weeterly half to Sarah Jones. In 1866 Mr. Bartlett and Mrs. Jones sold the estate to the late Anselm D, Rohinson, whose family still own it. The share assigned to Bathsheba Rickard remained in her possession until her death, and the house now standing on the corner of Ring Sti-eet was probably built hy her. In 1799, after her death, it was sold by Barnabas Otis, the administrator on her estate, to Andrew Bartlett, who occupied the easterly half and sold the westerly half, in 1805, to Stephen Bartlett. In 1813 Stephen Bartlett sold the westerly half to Barnabas Faunce, who occupied it until his death. After the death of his widow it passed into the possession of her sister, the wife of the late Ephraim Harlow, and it is now owned by her heirs. In 1821 Andrew Bartlett sold the easterly part to Ephraim Finney, who occupied it many years, and sold it, in 1840, to the Messrs. Russell, by some of whose heirs it is still owned. Leaving at this point the north side of Summer Street, and continuing on the south side from the arch-bridge and the corner of Market Street, the gore of land between Summer Street and Mill Lane was held by the town as common land until 1709, when it was granted to Abiel Shurtleff and James Barnaby on tlie condition that they and their assigns should keep Summer, then called in the deeds Mill Street, in good repair, and safe for travel. In 1716 Messrs. Shurtleff and Barnaby sold that pai-t of the gore which is now occupied by the two houses on the land to Robert B.artlett, son of Joseph and grandson of Robert Bartlett, who came in the Ann in 1623. From Robert Bartlett it descended to his son John, who built the house now standing, and who sold it in 1725 to Thomas Spooner. In 1764 the heirs of Mr. Spooner sold it to Samuel Harlow, during whose ownership another division of the land took place. In 1785 George Watson, under an execution against Mr. Harlow, became the owner of the easterly end, bounded by Spring Hill, with the dwelling-house and store standing thereon, and sold it in 1791 to Ichabod Holmes. In 1804 John Paty, administrator of Mr. Holmes, sold it to Ellis Holmes, the son of Ichabod, who sold it in 1806 to Zephaniah Holmes. In 1807 Zephaniah Holmes sold it to George Sampson, who sold it in 1826 to his son Schuyler. In 1831 Schuyler Sampson sold it to Samuel Talbot and George Churchill, and Mr. Talbot is now the owner of an undivided half of the estate. In 1841 Mr. Churchill sold his part to Jason Hart, by whose assignees, E. B. Towne and Charles G. Davis, it was sold in 1856 to David C. Francis. In 1859 Mr. Francis sold it to Josiah A. Robbins, who sold it in 1869 to Rebecca S. Jackson, the widow of the late William H. Jackson, by whom it was sold in 1872 to her daughter Rebecca, who is now the owner of an undivided half. The other part of the land belonging to Samuel Harlow, on which the Hannah Bradford house stands, which was built by Mr. Harlow, was set oflf under an execution m 1784 to Nathaniel Goodwin, who sold it in 246 PLYMOUTH COLONY. 1791 to Morcy, the wife of Ebenezer Robbins. In 1801 Mrs. Robbins sold it to John Bartlett, who sold it in 1806 to Hannah Bradford. In 1854 the heirs of Hannah Bradford sold it to Leander Lovell. The remainder of the gore of land granted to Abiel ShurtleflF and James Barnaby in 1709, eighty-two and one-half feet in length, was sold by them in 1710 to Richard Cooper and Francis Adams, they agreeing to fulfil the conditions of the grant by keeping the street in front of the land purchased by them in repair. In 1711 a division was made of sixty feet of this land, twenty-three feet at the easterly end being assigned to Mr. Adams, and tliirty-seven feet adjoining, following the narrowing gore, being assigned to Mr. Cooper. That part assigned to Mr. Adams was sold by him in 1713, with a house which he had built, to Eleazer Dunham, and after a subsequent ownership by Nathaniel Carver was sold to the owners of the adjoining lot, and is now a part of the Lovell estate. That part assigned to Mr. Cooper, after passing through the hands of several owners, was sold in 1859 by the heirs of Zacheus Bartlett to James Cox, and is now owned by him. The remainder of the gore of land owned by Francis Adams and Richard Cooper has been gradually diminished by the encroachment of the streets bounding it, and the fragment now remaining belongs to the estate of the late Robert Brown. Returning to the arch-bridge, the land from that point, bounded by the stream on the south and Mill Lane on the north, to a point four and a half feet easterly of the estate now owned and occupied by Lewis Brown, was granted to Nathaniel Thomas by the town by two grants, one made in 1695 and the other at a later date. At tlie first date a grant was made to him of " the boggy land on the north side of Town Brook, from the fulling-mill, to extend down stream so low as no way to prejudice the comfortable passing of people through said Town Brook at the usual way of going over with carts and horses, as also to set the fulling-mill lower down upon the stream, pi'ovided the said Natiianiel Thomas doth not hinder the alewives going up tlie brook by his said mill at the season of their going up.'' The second gr.ant put Mr. Thomas in possession of the westerly end of his estate, bounded in the grant by the estate of Francis Adams, now occupied by Lewis Brown, above mentioned. The fulling-mill refei-red to stood on the brook in the rear of the house now owned by Ilan-iet W. Dunham, next east of the estate of Lewis Brown, as is proved by a conveyance in 1714 from Francis Adams to Joshua Bramhall, who had come into possession of the Thomas land, of a strip of land along his easterly line for a way from the street to the mill. The mill was erected by George Bonum before 1694, as in that year a grant was made to him by the town of an acre of land on the south side of the brook, and the stream on which his mill then stood. In 1703 Mr. Bonum sold his land and mill to Mr. Thomas, who had doubtless owned TITLES OF ESTATES. 247 and occupied it long before that date, as his grant of land from the town in 1695 referred to it as his property, and gave him permission to move the mill to a point lower on the stream. In 1714 Nathaniel Thomas sold to Joshua Bramhall the house built by him, now owned by Harriet W. Dunham, and the land on which it stands, which the deed states was then occupied by Mi-. Bramhall. In 1719 Mr. Tliomas sold to Mr. Bramhall the remainder of his land, which is described in the deed as "bounded south by the brook, east antl north by the road, and west by land sold to said Bramhall, with the fulling-mill, shop, and press-coppers, and also the stream bought of George Bonum, with the liberty of dam- ming and digging earth on land of John Watson, he making a passage- way for herrings." Mr. Bramhall was a clothier by trade, and as he bought of Francis Adslms in 1714 the strip of land above referred to, for a way to the mill, it is probable that he was in its use and occupation before that date. In the deed above mentioned of the house on Mill Lane to Joshua Bramhall, it is described by Mr. Thomas, the grantor, as "the house in which Mr. Bramliall now lives." The whole estate remained in tlie possession of Joshua Bramhall during his life, and descended to his heirs, during whose ownersliip the dam was changed to its present location, and a grist-mill built, whicli was run for many years. In 1797 Benjamin Bramhall, one of the heirs of Sylvanus Bram- hall, the grandson of Joshua, sold a fulling-mill, adjoining the grist-mill, witli one-quarter part of the water-privilege, to Nathaniel Carvei-, who sold it in 1798 to George Sampson, by whom it was sold in 1807 to Isaac Barnes. In 1805 the other lieirs sold the grist-mill and the remainder of tlio mill lot and privilege to Salisbuiy Jackson, who sold it in 1807 to Isaac Barnes. In 1847 Isaac Barnes and Lucy Harlow, the son and daughter of Isaac, sold it to the Bobbins Cordage Company. In 1869 the Bobbins Cordage Company sold it to Nohemiah Boynton and others, wlio sold it in the same year to Leavitt Finney and othei'S. In 1865 the Plymonth National Bank assigned to E. C. Turner a mortgage given by Mr. Finney of his part of the property, Mr. Turner having bought in the previous year of Ellis Barnes and others the remaining part. In 1865 Mr. Turner sold it to Asa H. Moore, who sold it in 1866 to Isaac N. Stoddard, Jeremiah Farris, and Fi-anklin B. Cobb. In 1867 Mr. Cobb bought the shares of Messrs. Farris and Stoddard, and in 1879 the Ply- mouth Five Cents Savings' Bank, having taken possession under a mortgage given by Mr. Cobb in 1871, sold it to Nathaniel Morton, its present owner. The remainder of the pi'operty once belonging to Joshua Bramhall, liaving descended by inheritance and by purchase of other heirs into the hands of Joseph Bramhall, a son of Joshua Bramhall, was sold, in 1807, by Thomas Marsll and Joseph Bramhall, his administrators, to Benjamin Bramhall, who resold it to them the same year in their individual 248 PLTMOUTH COLONT. capacity. In 1810 they sold that part on which the main part of the house owned and occupied by the heirs of the late Josiali D. Baxter stands, to Job Cobb, Jr., who sold It, m the same year, to Thomas and William Jacljson, who built the house now standing. In 1828 Thomas Jackson sold his part to William, and William sold the whole, in 1832, to Peleg Faunce. In 1850 Mr. Faunae sold it to Everett F. Sherman, who sold it, in 1862, to Josiah D. Baxter. The remainder of the estate, which included the house occupied by Joshua Bramhall before 1714, w.as divided in 1807, Thomas Marsh taking the easterly part and Joseph Bramhall the westerly part. In 1810 Mr. Marsh sold his part to Benja- min Bramhall, in whose possession and that of his heirs it remained until 1872, when it was sold by Lemuel Bradford, collector of taxes, to Josiah D. Baxter, who took it down and built an extension to his own house on the land. The westerly part was conveyed by Joseph Bram- hall to Stephen Rogers, who sold a part of it, in 1837, to Luther Ripley, and the remainder, in 1816, to Job Rider. In 1848 Mr. Ripley sold his part to Edward Morton, and in 1855 Joseph Rider, son of Job, sold his father's part to John Smith. In 1854 William H. Spear, administrator of Edward Morton, sold Mr. Morton's part to Samuel Talbot, who sold it in the same year to John T. Hall, who sold it in the present year to Han-iet W. Dunham. John Smith gave a deed of mortgage of his part in 1856 to the Plymouth Five Cents Savings Bank and after possession had been taken, the mortgage was conveyed, in 1857, to Josiah D. Bax- ter, who sold it in the same year to Joseph Rider. In 1859 Mr. Rider sold it to John T. Hall, who sold it, with the remainder, to Han-iet W. Dunham. The next lot, on which the double house stands owned by Lewis .Brown and the heirs of William H. Bradford, with the exception of the piece of land west of the house on which the engine-house formerly stood, was partly sold by George Barrow in 1706, and partly granted by the town in 1709, to Fi-ancis Adams, who built a house on the lot a part of which is still standing. That the house was built before 1714 is proved by the deed from Mr. Adams to Mr. Bramhall of the four and a half feet of land above mentioned in that year, in which Mr. Adams described it as running from the road to the fulling-mill between his house and that of Mr. Bramhall. In 1716 he sold the easterly part of the land and house to Jonathan Eames, fi-ora whom it passed into the hands of Nathaniel Carver, who remodelled the house, and placed his initials, with the date 1771, on the chimney. Fi-om Nathaniel Carver it passed, in 1816, by a deed from the other heirs, into the hands of his son, Josiah Carver, whose son, William Carver, sold it, in 1869, to Lewis Brown, its present owner and occupant. The engine-house lot was a part of the adjoining Spooner estate, which will be described hereafter. TITLES OF ESTATES. 249 The westerly part of the house was sold by Fi-ancis Adams, in 1733, to Ebenezer Bartlett, who sold it, in 1737, to Stephen Churchill. In 1773 Nathaniel Churchill, son of Stephen, sold it to Nathaniel Carver, who thus became the owner of the whole. In 1779 Mr. Carver sold the westerly part to Lemuel Bradford, from whom it passed under a mort- gage in 1821 into the hands of his son, David Bradford. In 1772 Bphraim Spooner sold to Lemuel Bradford the old engine-house lot, which passed also, under the mortgage above mentioned, to David Bradford, and in 1830 David Bradford sold the propei-ty to his brother, William 11. Bradford, whose heirs still own it. It has been stated that a part of the last lot was sold by George Barrow in 1706, and a part gi-anted by the town in 1709, to Francis Adams. It was also stated that the old engine-house lot, which is a part of the Bradford land, was sold, in 1772, by Ephraim Spooner, the owner of the adjoining lot on the west, to Lemuel Bradford, the father of the late William H. Bradford. The part granted by the town was twenty-two feet wide on the street, and the part bought of George Barrow was fifty feet wide. The latter por- tion was a part of a tract of land extending as far as the Dunham house lot, now owned and occupied by Hannah N. Shaw, the wife of Eleazer Shaw, which was owned, as far back as the records reach, by Jonathan Sparrow of Eastham. It was pi'obably granted at an early date to Richard Sparrow, the father of Jonathan, who moved from Plymouth to Eastham in 1663. The lot, on which the Spooner house, so called, stands, now owned by Solomon J. Gordon, and occupied by Mrs. Raymond, was sold in 1695 by Jonathan Sparrow to George Bonum, who sold it, in 1697, to Geoi-ge Barrow. The engine-house lot and the strip of land fifty feet wide above mentioned were sold with it to Mr. Bonum, and by him to Mr. Barrow, who sold the latter to Francis Adams in 1706, as above stated. In 1711 Mr. Barrow sold the Spooner lot to Joseph Mitchell (sometimes spelled in the deeds Mighill), who sold it, in 1719, to Thomas Spooner, son of Ebenezer and grandson of William Spooner, the progenitor of the Spooner family. The lot afterwards passed into the hands of Thomas Spooner, the son of the above Thomas, and then into the liands of Nathaniel Spooner, the son of the last Thomas, who built the house now standing. After the death of Mary Spooner, the widow of Nathaniel, it was sold, in 1845, by her heirs to Henry J. Oliver, who conveyed it by a deed of mortgage, in 1846, to the Plymouth Institution for Savings. In 1854 the mortgage was assigned by the bank to Solomon J. Gordon, who now owns the estate by virtue of possession under the mortgage. The next lot, on which the house stands owned by the widow of Isaac Sampson, was sold with the last lot in 1695, by Jonathan Sparrow, to George Bonum. Mr. Bonum sold it, in 1697, to George Barrow, v/ho sold it, in 1708, to Ebenezer Dunham. Mr. Dunham built a house on the lot 250 PLYMOUTH COLONY. which he occupied and sold, in 1717, to Timothy Morton. Mr. Morton occupied the estate until his death, and in the division of his estate, in 1748, it was assigned to his son Charles. In 1770 Charles Morton con- veyed it to his son Charles and daughter Mary, who held and occupied it until 1781, when they sold a part of the estate to Silas Morton, and Charles sold his interest in the remainder to his sister Mary. In 1782 Silas Morton sold his part to Rossiter Cotton, who sold it in the same year to Nathaniel Thomas. In 1783 Mr. Thomas sold it to Samuel, Sherman, who bought in 1791, of Job Morton, the other part, which he had bought of Maiy in 1789. Samuel Sherman thus become in 1791 the owner of the whole estate, and sold it, in 1792, to his son, William Sher- man, who built the house now standing. At the death of Mr. Sherman it was inherited by his daughter Elizabeth, now the widow of Isaac Sampson, who is its present owner. The next lot, on which the house stands owned in part by Triphena Sherman and in part by her sister, Lydia D., the wife of James W. Blackmer, was also sold by Jonathan Sparrow to George Bonum, in 1695, with the house now standing, which is one of the oldest houses yet described in the landmarks. It is probable that it was built by Mr. Bonum, as it is described in the deed from Mr. Sparrow as the house in which "Robert Barrow now lives." Mr. Barrow was the son-in-law of Mr. Bonum, who probably built the house on land actually purchased before its transfer by deed. In 1697 Mr. Bonum sold it to George Barrow, who sold it, in 1699, to James Barnaby. In 1725 James Barnaby sold it to Thomas Branch. At the death of Mr. Branch the easterly part came into the possession of Samuel Sherman, who married his daughter Experience, and the westerly part into the possession of Ebenezer Churchill, who married his daughter Mary. The easterly part remained in the possession of the Sherman family, and was finally owned and occupied by the late Samuel Sherman, the grandson of the first Samuel, whose daughter Triphena is its present owner and occupant. The westerly part descended from Ebenezer Churchill to his son, Branch Churchill, who occupied it some years. In 1815 William Nelson, administrator on the estate of Branch Churchill, sold it to John Blaney Bates, whose executor sold it, in 1827, to his brother-in-law, Jacob Taylor. In 1828 Mr. Taylor sold it to Ezekiel Bates, a brother of John Blaney Bates, who sold it, in 1833, to George Raymond. Mr. Raymond gave to Mr. Bates a deed of mortgage under which Mr. Bates took possession and sold the estate, in 1837, to William Morton Jackson. In 1841 Mr. Jackson sold it to Joseph M. Bradford, who sold it, in 1860, to Seth McLaughlin. In 1852 Mr. McLaughlin sold it to Everett F, Sherman, who sold it, in 1855, to his father, Samuel Sherman, and his uncle, Thomas Branch Sherman. After the death of the Messrs. Sher- man it came into possession of their heirs, and was sold to Lydia, the TITLES OF ESTATES. 251 daughter of Samuel Sherman and wife of James W. Blackmer, who is its present owner and occupant. The remainder of the land as far as Spring Lane was granted by the town, in 1683, to Charles Stockbridge, to whom a grant of the stream near it was also made for the purpose of erecting a grist-mill. Mr. Stockbridge died very soon after, and his widow, Abigail Stockbridge, sold it, in 1684, to Nathaniel Church, who became also the owner of the mill property. Mr. Church built and occupied the house now owned and occupied by Hannah N., the wife of Eleazer Shaw, and the house, togetlier with the land as far as the lane, was sold, in 1717, by his widow, Sarah Church, to Charles Church, who had become the manager of the mill. In 1724 Mr. Church sold it to Samuel Clark, who sold it, in 1725, to Nicholas Drew and John Rickard. In 1729 Mr. Rickard sold his interest to Mr. Drew, who thus became the owner of the whole estate, and sold it, in 1735, to Eliakim Tupper. In 1748 Mr. Tupper sold it to Sylvamis Bartlett, who occupied the Shaw house, and built the house adjoining at the corner of the lane now owned and occupied by the heirs of Benjamin Drew. In 1797 Mr. Bartlett sold the old house to his son, Jesse Bartlett, and the new house to his daughter Sophia, who became the wife of Ben- jamin Drew, whose heirs are now in possession. In 1817 Jesse Bartlett sold the old house to William P. Ripley, who sold it, in 1821, to the late John Foster Dunham. In 1877 the heirs of Mr. Dunham sold it to his daughter Hannah N., the wife of Eleazer Shaw, as above stated, who now owns it, and with her husband occupies it. In 1638 Adey Webb sold a house and lot to John Jenny. In 1637 Abraham Pierce sold a house and lot to Joshua Pratt lying next to the land of Mr. Webb, which afterwards came into the possession of Mr. Jenny. In 1638 Nicholas Snow sold a house and lot to Samuel Eddj', who sold it in the same j-ear to Richard Clough, by whom it was sold, in 1639, to Mr. Jenny. These three lots, which had in 1639 come into the possession of John Jenny, were situated on the south side of Summer Street, and extended from Spring Lane as far as the middle of tlie lot on which the house now stands owned and occupied by Barnabas Churchill. In 1696 Anne Jenny sold to Nathaniel Thomas the tract of land above mentioned between Spring Lane and the lot of Barnabas Churchill, which is described in the deed as about an acre, bounded on the east by the way leading to the grist-mill, on the south by the Town Brook, on the west by the lot sold by Samuel Jenny to Nathaniel Jackson, on which "Mr. Jackson's house stands," and on the north by the "street" loading down into the woods. It is further described as comprising three original house-lots formerly occupied by John Jenny, John Ray- ner, and a third person not mentioned, but probably Samuel Eddy. It is probable that John Rayner occupied temporarily one of the estates 252 PLYMOUTH COLONY. owned by John Jenny before his occupancy of the minister's house fur- nished by tlie town. In 1710 Nathaniel Thomas sold to Haviland Torrey that pai-t of the land which he had bought of Mr. Jenny in 1696, lying between Spiing Lane and the house formerly owned by Heman Cobb, and now occupied by Jesse Harlow. On this land Mr. Ton-ey built the doable house standing on the corner of Spring Lane, and occupied a part of it as a residence. After the death of Mr. Torrey, in 1750, that part of the house now owned by Samuel Loring descended to his son John, who also occupied it, and from him to his son John, who also made it his res- idence. In 1805 the last John Torrey, grandson of Haviland, sold it to James Spooner, who occupied it many years. In 1837 Mr. Spooner gave a deed of mortgage of the property to the Old Colony Bank, who, by virtue of possession under this mortgage, sold it, in 1838, to Samuel Shaw. Mr. Shaw, after some years' occupancy, sold it, in 1848, to his brother, Southworth Shaw, who sold it, in 1873, to Samuel Loring, its present owner. The westerly part of the house, after the death of Haviland Torrey, came into the possession of his son Nathaniel, who occupied it some years, and sold it, in 1752, to John May. In 1753 Mr. May sold it to William Torrey, the brother of Nathaniel, who sold it, in 1754, to Caleb Stetson. Mr. Stetson lived in the house until 1760, when he sold it to Gideon Bradford. In 1762 Mr. Bradford sold it to William Crombie, who sold it, in 1792, to Barnabas Otis. Mr. Otis occupied the house until his death, in 1847, using a portion of the building as a saddler's shop. In 1850 Timothy Gordon, the administrator on the estate of Mr. Otis, sold it to Chandler Carver, who sold it back to Dr. Gordon in his individual capacity, and it is now the property of his son, Solomon J. Gordon of New York. The next lot, on which another double house stands, remained vacant during its ownership by Haviland Torrey, and at his death was inherited by his son, William ToiTey. In 1753 William Toirey sold it to John May, who built the westerly and middle parts of the house now stand- ing. In 1778 Mr. May sold the middle and easterly parts of the lot, with that part of the house standing on the middle part, to David Loth- rop, who occupied it until his death. After the death of David Lothrop the middle part came into the possession of his daughter Bathsheba, the wife of William Nelson, and mother of the late William Nelson, and William Nelson, having purchased of Mr. Loihrop, in 1795, the easterly end of the lot, built that part of the house there standing. In 1815 William Nelson sold the easterly part to William White, the father of the late Mrs. Arabella Goodwin, who sold it back to Mr. Nelson in 1820. In 1857 the late William Nelson sold it to Calvin Ripley, who sold it, in 1866, to William S. Robbins, its present owner. The middle TITLES OF ESTATES. 253 part is still owned by the heirs of William Nelson, the representative, by inheritance, of David Lothrop, who purchased it, in 1778, of John May. The westerly part was occupied by John May until his death, and afterwards by his son John, the father of the late Charles May, who was born in the house. In 1794 the last John May sold it to John Bur- bank, who sold it, in 1796, to Thomas Washburn. In 1813 Mr. Wash- burn sold it to Nathaniel Ripley and William P. Ripley, his son, the last of whom, after his father's death, sold it, in 1831, to Truman C. Holmes. In 1836 Mr. Holmes sold it to William Churchill, who sold it, in the same year, to Joseph Allen. In 1846 Mr. Allen sold it to Nathaniel Russell and Nathaniel Russell, Jr., the last of whom, after his father's death, sold it, in 1874, to Asaph S. Burbank, its present owner and occupant. The remainder of the land sold by Mr. Jenny, in 1696, to Nathaniel Thomas, as far as the lot of Barnabas Churchill, remained in the Thomas family until 1777, and was occupied as a tannery. In that year John Thomas, the grandson of Nathaniel, sold the land and tanneiy buildings to William Watson, Ephraim Spooner, and Sylvanus Bartlett, under whose ownership the business was carried on until 1788, when Samuel Jacksoa and Samuel Cole obtained possession under an execu- tion against Messrs. Watson and Spooner of their interest, and sold it, in 1789, to John Torrey. After 1789 Messrs. Bartlett and Torrey were the ownei's, and carried on the business until about the year 1800, when tlie property was divided, Mr. Bartlett taking the land on which the house of the late Heman Cobb stands, and Mr. Torrey the remainder. In 1812, after the death of Mr. Bartlett, his son Jesse sold his part to Joel Perkins, who sold it, in 1019, to Thomas Washburn, by whom it was sold, in the same year, to William P. Ripley. In 1827 Mr. Ripley sold it to Heman Cobb, who built the house now standing on the site of a former building or shop, which was sold and moved to tlie re.ar of the store of Adoniram J. Atwood, whore it now stands. Mr. Cobb occupied the house built by him until his death, when it came into the possession of his daughter, Sarah F., the wife of Jesse II:a-lo\v, who now occu- pies it. The next lot, on which the house stands owned and occupied by John Eddy, and which it is very probable is the precise spot once occupied by his first ancestor, Samuel Eddy, was set off to John Torrey in the division of tlie tanyard lands as above mentioned. At the death of Mr. Torrey it was inherited by his daughter Maria, the wife of Woodworth J.ackson, who sold it, in 1809, to Thomas Washburn. In 1813 Mr. Washburn sold it to Joel Perkins, who sold it, in 1817, to Ezra Lucas, who built the house now standing. In 1831 Mr. Lucas sold it to George Harlow, who sold it in the same year to John Wiswall. In 1843 John Atwood, the son-in-law of Mr. Wiswall, and administrator on his estate, sold it to John Eddy, its present owner and occupant. 254 PLYMOUTH COLONY. The next lot, with the exception of a strip along its westerly side, afterwards bought of William Nelson, who owned the adjoining estate, was also a part of the tannery-lot set off to John Torrey, and afterwards inherited by his daughter Maria, the wife of Woodworth Jackson. In 1807 Mr. Jackson sold it to Joseph Johnson, who built a part of the present house and occupied it as a residence. In 1822 it came into the possession of Barnabas Hedge, under an execution against Mr. Johnson, and was sold by Mr. Hedge, in 1827, to Hannah M, and Mary, daugliters of Joseph Johnson. In 1829 the Misses Johnson sold it to William Wild, who sold it, 1832, ix> Daniel Eider. In 1833 Mr. Rider sold it to Sally Rider, who sold it, in 1843, to Joseph Rider, by whom and by liis father. Job Rider, the lot was enlarged by the purchase of a strip of land five feet wide of William Nelson, and an addition made to the house. In 1845 Joseph and Job Rider sold die liouse and lot to Stephen Rogers, whose heirs now own and ocou-py it. The field which extended westerly between Town Brook and Summer Street from Spring L.ane to the land of the Robinson Iron Company, was in the old records called " Webb's Field." The lots already described were in this field, and purchased by John Jenny. His purchase covered, in addition to these lots, thirty-three feet now included in the lot of Barnabas Churchill. This narrow strip of land, together with five feet sold by William Nelson to Job Rider in 1845, and added to the ad- joining lot, made a lot thirty-eight feet wide, which Samuel Jenny, grandson of John, sold, in 1688, to Nathaniel Jackson, the husband of his daughter Ruth. The deed of Mr. Jenny described the lot as bounded on the west by the land of Sarah, the widow of William Fallowell, and as having a house standing thereon, " in which Nathaniel Jackson now lives." The deed further described the lot as bounded northerly by the street going over Prison Brook. This is the first and only allusion yet found by the writer to Little Brook under that name, and he is inclined to the opinion that the statement made by Thacher, that the first prison was built in that neighborhood, was an inference drawn from this name in the records. The name may bo satisfactorily accounted for by tlie probable fact that Little Brook was one of the prison limits of the town, witliin which, as was the custom within the memory of many readers, jjersons arrested for debt retained their freedom. The writer remembers sign-boards in several streets, one of which was attached to the stalile now owned by Mr. Chandler, bearing the words " Gaol Limits," which no arrested debtor could jjass witliout danger of being remanded to prison. In 1696 Nathaniel Jackson sold the above house and lot to William Fallowell, whoso mother, Sarah, the wife of William Fallowell, and daughter of John Wood, owned and occupied the adjoining lot on the west, which was gi-anted to her grandfather, William Fallowell, by the Colony Court, in 1640. The land granted by the com-t to Mr. Fallowell TITLES OF ESTATES. 255 extended from the northwest corner of the Nathaniel Jackson lot, thirty- feet west of the northeast comer of the lot now owned by Barnabas Churchill, to a point three feet westerly of the northwest corner of the house now owned and occupied by the heirs of the late Sylvanus Hai-vey. In 1729 William Tobey and others, heirs of the third William Fal- lowell, sold the whole tract, including the Nathaniel Jackson lot, to Nathaniel Thomas and John Cooper. In 1730, in accoi-dance with the terms of a division made and recorded, the easterly half was set off to Mr. Thomas, and the westerly half to Mr. Cooper. In 1777 John Thomas, grandson of Nathaniel, sold the part set off to his father to Barnabas Hedge, the father of the late Bai-nabas, and gi-andfather of the late Isaac L. and Thomas Hedge, and in 1786 Richard Cooper, the son of John, sold his father's part also to Mr. Hedge. The whole land was held by Mr. Hedge during his life and inherited at his death by his son Barnabas. After the death of the late Barnabas, all not sold by him during his life was set off in the division of his estate to his grand- children, Nathaniel L. Hedge and S.is son, Cornelius Jackson, gave a deed of tlie property to Barnabas Hedge, who held it until 1825, when he convoyed it to Frederick Jackson, witli whom his father, Tliomas, continued to live. At the death of Frederick Jackson it was devised by his will to his brother, the late Thomas Jack- son, who by his will gave the house in trust, for the benefit of his widow during her life, and at his death the south part to his daughter Caroline, and the north to his children, George F. and Betsey Ann. This house closes the list of ancient houses in Plymouth north of Chiltonville It is possible that the list might be enlai-ged by an investi- gation into the titles of estates in that district, and quite certain that if South Plymouth were included, the Bartlett house, in what is called the Brook neighborhood, possibly built in 1660, would claim a place in the catalogue.

Kent, died 1552, and his son, Thomas Faunce, also of CJiffe, died there 1609, at the age of 84, leaving, by his wife Alice, a son Thomas, who entered young into the naval service, and was present at the attack on the Spanish Armada in 1588. This son married Martha, d. of J. Baynard of Shorne, and was Mayor of Rochester in 1609. He had two sons, Robert and Thomas. Thomas joined the Pilgrim Fathers in America in 1640." The error in this statement is in making Thomas, thePilgrim, the son of Tliomas, and making him join the Pilgrims in 1640, when he was born in Plymouth in 1047, and was the son of John who came over in the Ann in 1623. It is possible that John was the son of the Thomas who is said above to have joined the Pilgrims in 1640.

Northmen. — The Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries at Copenhagen have recently thrown much light on the voyages of the Northmen and make it probable that Plymouth was visited by them in the beginning of the eleventh century. In the latter half of the tenth century Thorvald and his son, fiirek, fled on account of their crimes from Norway to Iceland, and after the death of Thorvald, the son; called Eirek the Red, fitted out a vessel and made a voyage, in the course of which he discovered Greenland. In 985 364 APPENDIX. Eirek settled in Greenland with a considerable colony, among whom was Heriulf, a kinsman of Ingolf, the first settler. After their departure from Iceland, Biarni Heriulfson, the son of Heriulf, returned home from a voyage to Norway, and finding his father gone, followed him, but, driven by gales to the southward, sailed along the shores of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Massachusetts. Eirek the Ked had three sons, — Leif, Thorvald and Thorstein. In the year 1000, Leif, with thirty-five men, sailed aouthon a voyage of discovery, first making the coast of Newfoimdland, where he landed and named the coun- try Helluland. He again sailed farther south and came to another land the description of which agrees perfectly with that of Nova Scotia, and this he called Markland. Sailing again still farther south, he passed between Cape Cod and Nantucket, through Vineyard Sound and Seconnet River, into Mount Hope Bay, the land about which he called Vinland. In the spring of 1001 he returned to Greenland. In the spring of 1002, Thorvald, a younger brother of Leifj took the same ship and with thirty men undertook to follow in the track of Leif and make a more thorough exploration. He went directly to Vinland, wher« he passed the winters of 1002 and 1003. In the spring of the latter year he explored the coast farther south, but how far the record is too imper- fect to determine. Returning to Vinland, he there passed another winter, and in the spring of 10O4.sailed eastward and was driven ashore in a gale on Cape Cod, which he called Kialar-ness, or Keel Cape. After the necessary repairs had been made he sailed westward until he came to " a promontory," answer- ing to the description of the Gurnet at the entrance of Plymouth harbor, where lie was mortally wounded by the natives with a poisoned arrow. Be- fore his death he said to his companions) — "Now it is my advice that you prepare to return home as quickly as possible, but me you shall carry to the promontory which seemed to me so pleasant a place to dwell in; perhaps the words which fell from me shall prove true and I shall indeed abide there for a season. There ibux/ me, and place a cross at my head and another at my feet, and call that place forever more Krossa-ness" (Gross Cape). Thorvald died and was there buriied, ^and in the spring of 1005 his companions set sail for Greenland. The "Matplowek." — An unfounded story has become quite current that the Mayflower was at one time engaged in the slave-trade. The story doubt- less had its origin in an English court record of a suit of Vassall and others against Jacket. In that suit, tried about .1650, " George Dethick, of Poplan, gentleman, aged 24, deposed that he well knew the ships the Maijflower, the Peter and Benjamin, of which Samuel Vassall, Richard Grandley and Com- pany were the true and lawful owners, and that they fitted them out on a trading voyage to Guinea, and thfence to certain places in the West Indies, and so to return to London. William Jacket was captain and commander, and Dethick himself sailed in the Mayflower as one of the master's mates, June 16, 1647. On the arrival of the ship at Guinea, they trucked divers goods for negroes, elephants' teeth, gold and provisions for the negroes. They got 450 negroes and more, and sailed in the Mayflower to Barbadoes, an-iving there at the beginning of March, 1647-48, Mr. Dethick being the APPENDIX. 365 purser." Such is the origin of a story which has been repeated with an unac- countable pleasure by that class of, persons who enjoy a sneer now and then at the Pilgrims and everything connected with them. Aside from the prob- ability that a vessel bearing the name Mayflower in 1647 was a difCerent one from that which brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth twenty-seven years before, Mr. Hunter, P.S.A., of London, an assistant keeper of the public records, states, in his "Collections Concerning the Early History of the Pounders of New Plymouth, the First Colonists of New England," from which the above extract is quoted, that the Mayflower in the slave-trade was of three hundred and fifty tons burden, while it is well known that the Pilgrim ship was of only : one hundred and eighty. Mr. Hunter further mentions his discovery of the '. existence of several vessels bearing the name in the early part of the seven- ' teenth century. " In 1587 there was a Mayflower of London, of which -WilUara Morecok was master, and a, Mayflower of Dover, of which John Tooke was master, and at the same time another Mayflower, of London, of which Richard Ireland was master. In 1033 there was a Mayflower of Dover, Walter Finnis, master, in which two sons of the Earl of Berkshire crossed to Calais. A May- flower sailed from Loudon in 1592. In a brief in a Florentine cause, in the Court of Admiralty, the subject is the ship Mayflower, of three hundred tons, belonging to John Elredy and Richard Hall, of London, merchants, which arrived at Leghorn in 1605, and was there repaired by the merchants at the charge of three thousand two hundred ducats; when it was ready to return to England, it was stayed by the officers of the then Duke of Florence and com- pelled to unload her merchandise, saving some lignum vitae left in her for ballast." All that is actually known of the history of the Pilgrim Mayflower is that in August, 1629, she arrived at Salem, bringing, among others, thirty- five members of the Leyden Church on their way to Plymouth, and that on the 1st of July, 1630, she arrived at Charlestown with a portion of the colony of Winthrop. It is probable that long before 1647, the date of the slave-trade voyage, she had either died a natural death at home or had laid her bones at the bottom of the sea. Questions are often asked, "What were the dimensions of the May flower ? " and " What flag did she fly ? "' It is well known that she was a vessel of one hundred and eighty tons. Assuming that she was a double-decked vessel, according to the rules of measurement prevailing in her time, her dimensions would have been, length eighty-three feet, beam twenty-two and depth of hold eleven. The flag she flew was the "Jack," but not the " Union Jack " of the present day. Up to the time of the Union of Scotland with England, in 1603, the Eng- lish flag was the "Cross of St. George," consisting of a Red Cross with perpen- dicular and horizontal bars on a white ground. The Scotch flag was the " Cross of St. Andrew," consisting of a cross with white diagonal bars on a blue ground. The Union flag, ordered by ICing James, was a combination of the Cross of St. George and the Cross of St. Andrew, showing the former over against the latter. It was called "Jack " after " Jacques," the name by which King James subscribed himself. This was the Mayflower flag. The present Union Jack was formed after the Union of Ireland, in 1801, by placing the Cross of St. 366 APPENDIX. Patrick, diagonal scarlet bars on a white ground, over against the Cross of St. Andrew, and the Cross of St. George over against the other two crosses. National Monument to the Pilgrims. — In May, 1855, the Pilgrim So- ciety adopted a design hy Hammatt Billings, of Boston. The corner-stone was laid August 2, 1859, and the monument, which was completed in 1888, consists of an octagonal granite pedestal forty-fire feet in height, on which stands a statue of Faith, thirty-six feet in height. The statue is made up of fourteen blocks of granite, weighing one hundred and eighty tons. Four buttresses pro- ject from the four smaller faces of the pedestal, on which are seated statues representing Liberty, Education, Law and Morality. Below these statues in panels are alto-reliefs in marble representing the "Landing at Plymouth," the "Signing of the Compact," the "Treaty with Massasoit" and the "Embarka- tion at Delfthaven." On the other four faces of the pedestal are panels con- taining the names of the passengers in the Mayflower. The statue of Paith was the gift of Hon. Oliver Ames, of Easton, uncle of Oliver Ames, the late Governor of Massachusetts, and was placed on the pedestal August 9, 1877. The sitting statues are granite monoliths sixteen feet in height. That representing Law and tlie marble relief beneath it representing the Landing were paid for by general subscription ; that of Education and the relief under it representing the Signing of the Compact were presented by Roland Mather, of Hartford ; that of Morality, by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the relief under it representing the Embarkation, by tlie State of Connecticut; the statue of Liberty and the relief under it representing the Treaty by Con- gress and the remainder of the monument was provided for by subscription under the direction of the Pilgrim Society. Of the sum of fifteen thousand dollars appropriated by Congress for the statue of Liberty and the relief under it, the sum of fifteen hundred dollars remained unexpended, which sum Con- gress authorized to be expended in the construction of other statues, and it became a part of the general subscription. The monument was dedicated August 1, 1889. Samoset. — Wlio was Samosetl how came lie at Plymouth and what be- came of liim ? Answers to these questions may not be uninteresting. He was a sagamore from Monchiggon, or Monhegan, or perhaps more properly Mena- hankegan (meaning " an island on the coast "), in the Pemaquid country in Maine, and chief and original proprietor of wliat is now the town of Bristol, Me. Mr. Rufus King Sewall stales tliat there is a cove in that region known in tradition as " Samaaset's Cove," and the island near it is called in the early records " Samasits," or " Sommarset " Island, and sometimes Muscongus. Samoset probably came to Cape Cod with Tliomas Dermer in the spring of 1620, and had not yet returned to his home when the Pilgrims landed. After his final departure from Plymoutli he returned to Maine, and is next lieard of as a visitor of Captain Christoplier Levett, who, in 1623-24, arrived at Capene- wagen (now Southport, Me.) with nine sliips, on a trading expedition. Levett describes him as "one who had been found very faithful to the English, hav- ing saved many lives of tlie English nation, some from starving, some from kilUng." APPENDIX 367 " During Levett's stay a son was born to Samoset, which lie was asked to name, Samoset declaring there should he ' Mouch-i-ke-lega-matche,' great friendship between Levett's son and his own until Tanto should take them both up to his wigwam " — that is, to the heavenly home. Samoset next ap- pears In 1625, at Pemaquid, as grantor with Unonngoit in a deed to John Brown, of New Harbor, of twelve thousand acres of land, for which the con- sideration was fifty beaver-skins. This was the first deed ever given in New England to a white man by an Indian. In 1653, as Sommarset of Muscongus, he conveyed, by deed, one thousand acres of land to William Parnell, Thomas Way and William-England. Mr. Sewall, in an article in the Magazine of Amer- ican History for December, 1882 (of which this note is an imperfect abstract), says that " in 1673 the remembrance of Samoset was fresh and honored by his race." Says Jocelyn, " Among the Eastern Indians he was remembered as a famous sachem, and to the English in New England he was well known under various names — ' Somnarset,' ' Samaaset,' ' Somerset,' and in Plymouth ' Sam- osset.' ' Samaaset,' of the Penobscot tongue, is, without doubt, the true version of his native name." Plymouth Rock. — The authenticity of the story of the landing on this rock rests both on general tradition and well-defined statements transmitted from generation to generation. Among the latter may be mentioned the statement of Ephraim Spooner and others to persons either now living or re- cently deceased, that in 1741, when It was proposed to construct a wharf over the rock. Elder Thomas Eaunce, born in 1647 and then ninety-four years of age, was carried in a chair to the spot, and, supposing it about to be buried forever, bade it an affectionate farewell as the first resting-place of the feet of the Pilgrims. Pie stated that his father, John Eaunce, who came over In the Ann in 1623, had repeatedly told him the story. He was also old enough to have heard the story from the Mayflowefs passengers themselves. He was ten years old when Governor Bradford died, twenty-five when John Howland died, nine years old when Miles Standish died, and thirty-nine when John Alden died, and he would have been at least likely to have learned from them whether the story of his father was correct or not. The rock, however, was not buried, as Elder Faunce feared it would be, but raised upwards from its bed so that its top might show above the roadway of the wharf. In 1774 an attempt to remove the rock to the foot of the liberty- pole in Town Square resulted in its separation, and while the upper half alone was removed, the lower remained in its bed. On the 4th of July, 1834, the severed portion, which since 1774 had remained in the Square, and by the side of which the lower southerly elm-tree now in the Square was planted in 1784, was removed to the front yard of Pilgrim Hall, and the next year inclosed by the iron fence which now on another spot surrounds the stone slab bearing the text of the compact. The remainder of the rock continued in its bed, merely showing its surface above the earth, until 1859, when the land on which it stands came under the control of the Pilgrim Society, and steps were taken to carry out a previously-formed plan of erecting over it a granite canopy. A design offered by Hammatt Billings, of Boston, was adopted, and on the 2d of 368 APPENDIX. August, 1859, the corner-stone was laid. The canopy consists of four angle piers, decorated with three-quarter reeded columns of the Tuscan order, stand- ing on pedestals and supporting a composed entablature, above which is an attic. Between the piers on each face is an open arch, so tliat the rock is vis- ible from all sides, and these arches are fitted with iron gates. The canopy measures about fifteen feet square, and is about thirty feet high. In the chamber between the dome and the capstone are deposited the remains of five of the Pilgrims who died the first winter, which were found on Col,e's Hill May 23, 1855. In 1880 the severed portion of the rock was restored to its old resting-place, and it now lies within the canopy reunited to its fellow-rock. SiK Edwin Sandys. — Sir Edwin Sandys referred to on pages 6 and 11 was the son of Edwin Sandys, a distinguished prelate, who was born at Hawks- liead, in Lancashire, in 1519. The father was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, and was a strong advocate of the Reformation. During the reign of Bloody Mary, after a short imprisonment in the Tower, he escaped to the Continent where he remained until the accession of Elizabeth. He was raised to the See of Worcester, afterwards, in 1570, to the See of London, and later, in 1576, to the See of York. He died July 10, 1588. At least three of his sons became prominent. George was educated at St./Mary's Hall, Oxford, and be- came distinguished as a poet. Sir: Samuel Sandys was the lessee of Scrooby Manor, under whom William Brewster occupied it as a tenant. Scrooby Manor was a possession of the Archbishop of York, and had been leased to Sir Samuel by his father then in ofiice. Sir Edwin Sandys, the third brother, was bom in 1561, and educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. In 1603 he was knighted by King James. In 1617 he was chosen Assistant Secretary of the Southern Vi^-ginia Company, and in 1619 Treasurer. Probably through his brother Samuel he became in- terested in Brewster and the Pilgrim Church, and as an officer of the Virginia Company aided the Pilgrims in their application for a patent. He was the leader of the popular party in Parliament, and was suspected of designs to establish a Representative and Puritan State in America imder the direction of the Virginia companies. Indeed there is reason to believe that he was the author of those provisions in the early patents on which the Pilgrim Compact was based for the election of officers " by most voices " in a popular vote, and his liberal views subjected him to a short imprisonment in the Tower. His re-election to the office of Treasurer of the Virginia Compa,ny was opposed by King James, who declared him his greatest enemy, and said to the Company, " Choose the devil, but do not choose Sir Edwin Sandys." As Colonial Secre- tary of Virginia he established the House of Burgesses, the first representa- tive assembly in America. .As long as the Pilgrim Compact is remembered due honors should be paid to him who enuncia,ted the principles it illustrates. In 1599 Sir Edwyn Sandys wrote the manuscript of a work entitled " Eu- ropae Speculum, or a Survey of thelState of Religion in the Western Part of the World." Without his knowledge, as it was claimed, it was entered at Sta- tioner's Hall June 21, 1605, and published. Its liberal views of both dissenters and Catholics caused the edition to be burned November 5, 1605, under an order of condemnation issued by the High Commission. At least two copies APPEKDIX. 369 were sayed, one of which in the British Museum contains marginal notes made by the author, arid the other in the library of the Pilgrim Sbciety at Plymouth contains on the title-page two autographs of Eev. John Robinson, the PUgrim pastor. The Pilgrim Society bought its copy at an auction sale of the library of the late Charles Deane, of Cambridge, in April, 1898, at the price of |455. "William Bkewstek. — Reference is made in the text to the occupation of Villiam Brewster, in Leyden, as a printer. During the years 1617, 1618 and 1619 he was engaged in printing, publishing and smuggling into England works obnoxious to the King and bishops. As nearly as can be ascertained these were fifteen in number, for a correct list of which the author is indebted to Prof. Edward Arber, author of the invaluable work entitled " The Story of the Pilgrim Fathers," published in Londoii in 1897. 1.

PiLGKiM Patents. — There were four patents issued to or in behalf of the Plymouth Colonists. The first was issued June 19, 1619, by the Southern Virginia Company to Mr. John Wincob for the benefit of the Colonists, and the second by the same Company, February 12, 1620, to John Pierce and his Associates. The first of these was surrendered before the departure from Holland and the second was surrendered after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth and their settlement there within the iurisdiction of the Northern Virginia Company. The third was issued June 1, 1621, by the Northern Vir- ginia Company, which had received, November 3, 1620, a new charter from tlie King under the name of "The Council established at Plymouth in the County of Devon for the planting, ordering, ruling and governing of New England in America.'' This patent was brought over in the Fortune in 1621 and is now in the cabinet of the Pilgrim Society in Plymouth. Besides con- ferring certain powers and privileges it granted one himdred acres of land to each member of the Colony and fifteen hundred acres for public uses, such as churches, schools, hospitals, town-houses, bridges, etc. It gave the Colonists the power to make laws and choose officers "by most voices." Under this patent after its arrival the Colony was managed, and the Compact signed in the cabin of the Mayflower ceased to have any force or significance. In 1629, on the 13th of January, a new patent was obtained from the Council for New England defining the boundaries of what has since been known as the Old Colony, beginning at a point on Massachusetts Bay between the present towns of Scituate and Cohasset and running across to Providence River, and thence down Narragansett Bay, and through Seconnet River to the ocean, not includ- ing Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. These boundaries included Little Compton, Tiverton, Bristol, Cumberland, Barrington, Warren and Pawtucket, now in Rhode Island, and when Bristol County was incorporated in 1685 the town of Bristol gave it its name and was made its shire. In 1663 a charter was granted by Charles the Second to Rhode Island and Providence Plantations under which Rhode Island claimed a portion of the Old Colony, including, with other towns, the town of Bristol. In 1741 a Royal Commission was appointed to establish the boundary and Bristol with other towns was given to Rhode Island. Bristol County having lost its shire town the town of Taunton was made the shire. Some informalties, however, led to a continuation of the controversy concerning the boundary, which was not finally settled until 1861 after a continuance of nearly two hundred years. An exhaustive history of this controversy may be found in the author's "History of Plymouth," page 146. The Patent defining the boundaries of the Old Colony above mentioned is deposited in the Registry of Deeds in Plymouth. The Pilgrims at Delfthaven. — The widespread interest in the Pilgrims has furnished a favorable field for the growth of new traditions concerning events in their lives, which have no foiindation except the imagination of APPENDIX. 371 their creators. One of these of recent origin is that the Pilgrim company during their stay of a night in Delfthaven held a puhlic service in one of its churches, and fragments of the paremeut and doorstep of that church to- gether with its poor-box have been brought to America and accepted as memorials of the Pilgrims. The tradition has been traced to its source by the author and he is able to say that it had its origin in Chicago in some remarks misunderstood by the reporters made at the dedication of a church edifice in that city which contains in its walls a fragment of Plymouth Rock, a stone from Scrooby and a piece of the pavement of the church in Delfthaven above referred to, in which, the speaker said, as the church was standing in 1620 it might be imagined to have been the scene of the Pilgrim service. Death op William Beewsteb. — In the appendix at the end of the Brewster corrections the author has stated that April 16, 1644, must be ac- cepted as the date of Brewster's death. Bradford says about April 16, 1643. The day 16 has been generally read 18, but the photographic copy makes it appear to be 16 and this agrees with the date in the church records. The latter makes the year, however, 1644, instead of 1643. Morton's New Eng- land's Memorial says about April 18, 1643, following the misreading of Brad- ford. Dr. Young accepts the date of the cliurch records, April 16, 1644, but as Morton followed Bradford, it is fair to believe that he failed to follow him correctly. The Brewster book, so-called, gives the date April 10, 1644. It may be thought by some that Bradford forgot for the moment, while writing, that the year 1643 had expired under the old style in March and that he wrote as if that year was still running in April. This, however, is impossible, for in mentioning the death, he says, " I am to begin the year with that which was a matter of great sadness and mourning." This shows conclusively that he was aware that the old year had expired. The final conclusion of the ^uthor is that Brewster died April 16, 1643.
