INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 
 
 ANY years ago the subject of ancestry began to 
 attract attention. The compiler of these records 
 became interested in it along his Travis line, dur- 
 ing: a long- illness. He had known some of his 
 relatives bearing the name of Travis, brothers and sisters of 
 his mother's mother, but all, with one exception, had passed 
 off the stage ere this inquiry began ; so but very little infor- 
 mation could be had from the immediate family as to their 
 ancestors, beyond their uncles and aunts. 
 
 By much patient research and travel, extending over eigh- 
 teen years, and a large expenditure of money, the results here 
 recorded have been gained, and gratification is had in tracing 
 the line unbroken from Henry Travers who arrived from Lon- 
 don, England, in the Ship " Mary and John " at Agawam, now 
 Ipswich, in 1634, down to the present time, and to find repre- 
 sentatives of the family showing their love of country in every 
 emergency requiring patriotic service, from King Philip's war 
 to the war of the Rebellion. The descendants of Henry 
 Travers have thus had part and parcel in the development of 
 our beloved New England, from its infancy. 
 
 James Travis, born in Newbury, Mass., in 1645, the only 
 son of Henry Travers, was one of the early settlers of Brook- 
 field, Mass., in 1668, and a petitioner for its incorporation 
 "Oct y e 10 1673." He probably left Brookfield with his 
 
4 INTR OD UC'l VR Y NO TE. 
 
 family before the Indian troubles there culminated, but no 
 record has been found to show where his family went, nor 
 of his or their return to Brookfield. 
 
 Later his children were in Framingham and Sherborn, and 
 later still his descendants were in Holliston, Natick, Sudbury, 
 Waltham and Weston, in Massachusetts. One branch located 
 in Deering, N. H., and their descendants in that State are 
 numerous. The name is now well represented in Natick, 
 Framingham, and adjoining towns in Massachusetts, and com- 
 mands respect. 
 
 To the painstaking labor of Mr. Henry A. May, a genealo- 
 gist of experience, I am much indebted for results attained.

HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 
 
 TRAVERS — D'ESTRIVERS— TRAVERSE — TRAVIS. 
 
 ENGLISH NOTES. 
 
 ^^^^^RAVERS, from Trevieres between Bayeux 
 and Caen, Normandy. The name con- 
 tinued in Normandy, where Ranulph de 
 Clinchamp, after 1138, assumed the name 
 of Travers. 
 
 In the time of the Conqueror, Robert de Travers or 
 d'Estrivers, Baron of Burgh-upon-Sands, married the 
 daughter of Ranulph de Meschines, Lord of Cumber- 
 land, and sister of Ranulph Bricasard, who succeeded 
 his cousin Richard d'Abrincis, as Earl of Chester, in 
 1 1 19. 
 
 He received in fee from his father-in-law the office 
 of Hereditary Forester of Inglewood, which passed 
 through his only child Ibria to Ralph de Engayne, and 
 
6 HENRY TEA VERS 
 
 from the Engaynes to the Morvilles, who transmitted 
 it to the Multons and Dacres. 
 
 The badge of this office, the jagged branch, is over 
 and over introduced in the Chapel of Naworth Castle, 
 which is so rich with arms and cognizances. 
 
 o 
 
 (Hist, of Battle Abbey Roll, Vol. Ill, pages 203-4.) 
 
 ' The forestership of Inglewood was so honorable 
 and grand, so great a command, there is no wonder 
 that the family should hold its claim as perfect." 
 
 (Hutchinson's Cumberland.) 
 
 Robert d'Estrivers bore " Argent, three bears sable ; " 
 and it is believed first used the "jagged branch" as 
 his badge. 
 
 There remain in Dacre churchyard the figures of four 
 bears, about five feet high, sitting on their haunches, 
 and clasping a rude pillar, or a ragged staff, on which 
 two of the animals rest their heads. The other two 
 carry on their backs the figure of a lynx, one in the 
 attitude of attempting to rid himself of the animal on 
 his shoulders, with his head twisted, and a paw cast 
 behind him. 
 
 The name of Travers appears in " Domesday," as 
 from Hants ; and it is several times repeated in the 
 " Liber Nigre." 
 
 Ralph de Travers, 1165, held the See of Worcester. 
 
 Bertram and Pagan de Travers were of Evesham 
 Abbey, and Robert de Travers of Henry Lupel, in 
 Somersetshire. 
 
 Hugh de Travers was of Lincoln, and Warin de 
 Travers of York, 11 89-1 190. 
 
 Walter de Travers paid a fine in Buckinghamshire in 
 
 11 97- (Hunter's Fines.)

AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 7 
 
 The name of Roger de Travers occurs in Bucking- 
 hamshire and in Bedfordshire, in 1202. 
 
 (Rot. Cancellarii.) 
 
 In Yorkshire the family was clearly of considerable 
 importance. 
 
 When Robert de Lacy was expelled the realm, the 
 Honour of Pontefract was bestowed by Henry I, on 
 " Henry Traverse, who being shortly mortally wounded 
 by one Pain, a Servant of his own, caused himself to 
 be shorn a Monk, and so died within three days." 
 
 (Dugdale.) 
 
 Two of the name, John and Laurence, were pardoned 
 as adherents of the Earl of Lancaster in 13 18. 
 
 John was twice Commissioner of Array of the Hon- 
 our of Pontefract, and superintended the equipment of 
 the levies in 13 16 and 1323. 
 
 Laurence, in the latter year, was one of the Sub- 
 custodes of the peace in the Wapentake of Aimun- 
 derness, and a burgess returned for Preston in 1727. 
 
 (Palgrave's Parliamentary Writs.) 
 
 Dalton-Travers, about half a mile south of Newsham, 
 in the North Riding, " traxit appellationem suam a 
 familia de Travers, ejus olim per plures annos domini, 
 licet eorum jam memoria diu obsoleverit." 
 
 (Gale's Richmondshire.) 
 
 Robert, son of Robert, son of Warin de Travers 
 (probably the Warin of the Pipe Roll of 1189), gave 
 some land in Dalton to Marrick Priory. 
 
 (Mon. Ebor., 270.) 
 
 Another of the family, Thomas Travers, was one of 
 the Conservators of the Peace for Lancashire in 1320. 
 
8 HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 Travers of Hampshire. 
 
 The earliest record of Travers in England is found 
 in " Domesday" Book i, F. 52 b. : — 
 
 " Terra Willielmi filij Stur — hi Bovecome Hund., 
 Hantescire. Isdem Willielmus tenet dimidiam hidam 
 in Bgrafel, et Travers tenet de Willielmo. Hanc tenuit 
 Viuiet in par agio. Tunc et modo se defendit pro dimidia 
 hida. Terra est I carucota ; et ibi est in dominio cum 
 uno bordario, et una acra prati, et dimidia. Valet 10 
 so/idos." 
 
 It does not appear that the early settler remained long 
 in Hampshire ; probably he went north, and obtaining 
 land in Lancashire, founded the family of Travers of 
 Notsby. During the reigns of Henry III — Edw. II, 
 we do not meet with the name in this county. From 
 43-50 Edw. Ill, one Richard Travers was Rector of 
 Blendeworthe, Hants ; but his brother Thomas Travers, 
 Knt., lived in Kent or Middlesex, and owned the 
 Manors of " Roughull " and " Halghle," together with 
 lands at Ditton and East Mailing.

 HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 OF NEW ENGLAND. 
 
 ENRIE TRAVERS, as he wrote his name, 
 came from London in the ship "Mary and 
 John," of London, Robert Sayers Master, 
 "early in 1634," and from the old Book of 
 Orders, belonging to the Port of Southampton, the fol- 
 lowing was copied. This book was in the Custom 
 House in Portsmouth, N. H., Dec. 6, 1745, and the 
 copy is upon the records of Newbury : — 
 
 " The names of such passengers as took the Oathes of Su- 
 premacy and Allegiance to pass for New England in the Mary

 The immigrants in the preceding list came to Agawsim 
 [Ipswich], and staid there one year. Those against whose 
 names appears an obelisk [f], went the next year, 1635, to 
 Quascacunquen, now Newbury. 
 
 In the records of the First Parish of Newbury is this 
 entry: — "Granted to Henry Travers 6 Acres of Salt 
 Marsh, be it more or less, in the Great Marsh, being 
 bounded by William Moody on the west, and the Com- 
 mon on the east, north and south." He was also 
 granted a house lot of half an acre near the First Land- 
 ing Place, bounded by John Cheney south, highway 
 north, The Green west and Merrimack east. Also 4 
 acres bounded by John Emery on the south and by 
 Anthony Emery north, Jo Moulton west and the Merri- 
 mack Street east. The Merrimack Street was evidently 
 changed, as litigation followed, and Henry Travers was 
 granted an extension eastward. He also exchanged 
 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 2 1 
 
 his house lot at the old town, on Little Hill, for four 
 acres at the new town, on South Merrimack Street. 
 No record has been found giving the date of his mar- 
 riage to Bridgett, whose maiden name was Fitts, and 
 who was probably a sister of Robert Fitts, who was in 
 Salisbury in 1640, and removed to Ipswich, where he 
 died in 1665, leaving a widow, Grace, and two or more 
 children. Neither has any evidence been found that 
 Henry had a wife previous to his marriage to Bridgett ; 
 yet he may have had a wife in England before coming 
 to America in 1634. Some writer has said that Bridgett 
 was his second wife. 
 
 He came to Newbury, as clearly appears, in 1635, 
 and the record shows the birth of a daughter, Sarah, in 
 1636, who married Aug. 30, 1654, Nicholas Wallington. 
 The birth of a son James is also recorded as of April 28, 
 1645. It also appears that Henry Travers went to sea, 
 and to London in 1648, and never came back, leaving 
 here his wife Bridgett, a daughter Sarah, and a son 
 James. He left a will behind, as follows : — 
 
 This 26th day of July, 1648, I Henrie Travers of Newbury, 
 having occasion to go to Sea and know not whether I shall live to 
 Com again 3, I do by this present declare my last Will and Testa- 
 ment, as followeth. 
 
 First, I give unto my ssonn James my housse and half acre lot 
 and my 4 acre lot at new towne and my division Land and my 
 Eight acres of Salt Marrish and a Copper kittel and on Iron pott

 4 yr old and on paire Steere of 2 yr ould. 
 
 Item I Give unto my Daughter Ssara on Cow and a hefer of 
 3 year ould two brasse potts and lital kitel and a friing pan and a

 Incom of my Estate of both the Children untill they be twelve yere

 overseers Consent. 
 
 Likewis I do desier my two ffriends Richard Knights and Henri 
 Short to See that this my will be performed.

 Richard Knights testified upon oath that this was the act & deed 
 of Henry Travers, & William Ilslye upon oath testified that he was 
 calld to be a Witness to such a disposall of his estate & believes it 
 to be his hand. 
 
 The will is apparently in the handwriting of Henrie 
 Travers, and has never been recorded, but simply filed. 
 The inventory of his estate in detail follows, viz. :

 There appears upon the record the following petition 
 of Bridgett Travers, widow of Henry Travers, late of 
 Newbury, deceased, 1655 : — 
 
 To the Honored Court assembled at Ipswich, the humble petition 
 of Bridgett Travers of Newbury, humbly sheweth. 
 
 That whereas Henry Travers, my husband, went away to Eng- 
 land from mee seaven years agone, and left mee two children ; my 
 Daughter was of the age of ten years, and my son not full three 
 years of age. He then made his will and gave my daughter a Cow 
 and a Heifer, to be paid to her at twelve years old, and he gave to 
 my son also at the same age of twelve years, two Steers and 4 Akers 
 of Upland and 8 Akers of Marsh, and all the household stuff we 
 had, only he gave me a bed and a Coverlet which was very meane, 
 and also I and my children was very mean in apparell, and this was 
 the whole estate of my husband. I had not so much as an house 
 to dwell in, and left me also five pounds in debt. And since he 
 went I have not heard of him but once, which is five years since. 
 
 The honored Court may be pleased to understand that since my 
 husband went away I have paid the five pounds and laid out about 
 twenty more for building — and breaking up the land, and also my 
 daughter being now marryed I have payed to her two heifers. Now 
 my humble petition to this hon'ble Court is that they would bee 
 pleased to consider this my Condition, that I may enjoy my house 
 and land till my son shall be of the age of one and twenty years, 
 and after to have the thirds during my natural life, and so I shall 
 ever pray for your happyness and shall rest 
 
 Your poore supply ant 
 
 Bridgett Travers. 
 
24 HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 Bridgett, the widow of Henry Travers, married 
 Richard Window, of Gloucester, Mass., Mar. 30, 1659, 
 and this took the family to Gloucester. His will was 
 proved 27—4—1665, "dated the : 2 of may: 1665." 
 The estate of Bridgett Window was in probate Nov. 
 9, 1673, and administration was granted to Nicholas 
 Wallington and James Travis, Nov. 26, 1675. Inven- 
 tory £2 6: 1:1. The deposition of Samuel Worcester 
 and Elizabeth, his wife, about the estate of widow 
 Window, mentions her son-in-law Nicholas Walling- 
 ton, her grand-child Sarah Wallington, and her son 
 James Travis. " Taken upon oath the 25th, of Nov., 
 before Nathaniel Saltonstall, Commissioner." 
 
 In Vol. IV, part 2, of Massachusetts Bay Records, 
 1666, 23 May, there appears the following: — 
 
 In answer to the petition of Bridgett Window and her sonne 
 James Travis, the Court having considered the grounds of their 
 petitions doe order that the County court for Essex doe give the 
 petitioner and his mother such relief as on a further hearing of 
 their complaints may appear just and regular. 
 
 There is also upon the record, page 1 7 1 , as follows : — 
 
 James Travis £30 allowed to him from the estate of his father 
 by the will of Richard Window of 1665. We are informed it was in 
 the hands of Nich'ls Warrington (Wallington), it being his Portion. 
 
 These documents, here reproduced in part, seem 
 to show conclusively that Henry Travers had wife 
 Bridgett at least soon after coming to Newbury, even 
 if she did not come with him, as the birth of a 
 daughter is recorded in 1636, and a son James, "born 
 y e 28th of April, 1645." These two children are re- 
 ferred to in his will, and are also called her children 
 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 25 
 
 by Bridgett, and are the only ones that are named 
 by either. 
 
 The will of Richard Window, mentioned above, is 
 here given in full, viz : — 
 
 dated the: 2 of may: 1665.

 the Confidence from Southampton in 1638. He 
 was a short time at Rowley, about 1663. A free- 
 man in 1670. Later he was a seaman for several

 4-3 2 James, born in Newbury "April y e 28th, 1645;" 
 married April 8, 1667, Mercy [Marsye] Pearce of 
 Gloucester. 
 
 3-4 (II) James Travis (Travers), son of Henry, 
 born in Newbury, Mass., " y e 28th. of April 1645," as 
 recorded by the Hon. Edward Rawson, afterward Sec- 
 retary of State ; married April 8, 1667, Mercy [Marsye] 
 Pearce, whose birth is recorded in the records of 
 Gloucester, Mass., as " Marsye born fforsthe [first] 
 weak in the 7th. mo. 1650." She is supposed to have 
 died, a widow, in Holliston, Dec. 11, 1744. She was the 
 daughter of John and Elizabeth Pearce of Gloucester, 
 who were married Nov. 4, 1643, when he is described 
 as a husbandman. 
 
 Her mother, Elizabeth, died July 3, 1673, and John 
 married (2nd), Mrs. Jane Stainwood (Stanwood), 
 widow of Philip Stanwood who died 7:6: 1672 (Aug. 
 7, 1672, O. S.), leaving five children. John Pearce, 
 the father of Mercy, died Dec. 15, 1695, leaving the 
 daughter and a son John, who died Aug. 18, 1706. 
 John Pearce, the father of Mercy, was of Gloucester, 
 a freeman in 1651. John, the brother of Mercy, born 
 July 14, 1653, married Mary Ratchell, daughter of Rob- 
 ert Ratchell and Judith, his wife, of Boston, where 
 Mary was born the last of Aug., 1652. 
 
 In 1667 James Travis (as he is written, and the gen- 
 erations that follow have generally spelled it "Travis," 
 instead of " Travers," as Henry wrote it,) bought land 
 of Samuel Peacock of Boston, and the frame of a 
 dwelling house near " Poles " (a local name in Glou- 
 cester). In 1668, after the birth of their daughter 
 Elizabeth, who married Nathaniel Haven of Framing- 
 
28 HENRY TEA VERS 
 
 ham, he sold his house and land to Thomas Millett, 
 senior, and he appears in Gloucester no more, of 
 record. 
 
 At that time they removed to Brookfield, Mass., 
 and had probably left there before the town was 
 destroyed by the Indians in 1676. One account 
 says he returned to Essex County, and died there. 
 In Barry's History of Framingham, it is said that he 
 probably moved to Holliston. Nothing has been found 
 upon any record to verify the idea of his return to 
 Essex County ; and the fact that his children, and 
 probably his widow, remained in and about Framing- 
 ham and Holliston, would tend to disprove it. His 
 house lot in Brookfield consisted of thirty acres, and 
 was located on the easterly side of Foster's hill. He 
 had deceased prior to 171 7, as at that time his son-in- 
 law, Benjamin Whitney, on behalf of the heirs, applied 
 for a grant of land in their father's right, in Brookfield, 
 and received sixty acres near Brookfield Saw Mill. 
 
 This application was dated June 17, 17 17, and was 
 granted by the committee Nov. 17, 171 7. (Grants 
 71,625.) 
 
 The application by the heirs was for the equivalent 
 of the original grant, which was considered forfeited, 
 and which consisted of fifteen acres of " Meadow" and 
 thirty acres of " Upland." The sixty acres granted 
 was bounded on all sides by the Commons. The 
 grant was conditioned " that the heirs pay all charges 
 to the publick, to the town, ministry and meeting- 
 house, which have arisen in said town ever since the 
 year 1 715, the beginning of said year, and so on from 
 time to time forever." Allotment dated the 5th of 
 July, in the year of His Majesty's reign, Anno Dom., 
 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 29 
 
 1 71 7. The Book of the Proprietors of Brookfield lias 
 a full description of the land. The mention of the 
 year 17 15 in the grant may indicate the year of his 
 death, of which no record has been found. 
 
 A deed of all the lands of which James Travis, 
 formerly of Brookfield, died seized, and all allotments 
 and town right, was recorded, dated June 17, 1717, 
 and reads thus : — 
 
 Benjamin Whitney of Sherborn, County of Middlesex, husband- 
 man, and Mary my wife, one of the daughters of James Travis 
 formerly of Brookfield . That said Benjamin Whitney for him- 
 self, and Attorney for James Travis of Sherborn, husbandman, the 
 only surviving son of the deceased, and of Nathaniel Haven of 
 Framingham and Elizabeth his wife, the only other daughter of said 
 deceased, and the said Mary Whitney for herself, and in her own 
 right, for the sum of £15 paid to the said Benjamin Whitney by 
 Thomas Barnes of Brookfield land and meadow that the de- 
 ceased died seized of, in the township of Brookfield. All of the 
 land and allotments of land and other town rights of James Travis 
 deceased. 
 
 (Signed) Benjamin Whitney and wife Mary 
 
 James Travis 
 
 Nathaniel Haven 
 
 Elizabeth his Wife 
 
 Being the only surviving children of James Travis deceased. 
 Aug. 21, 1734, the above named Mary Whitney (but now Mary 
 Frink) personally appeared and acknowledged the above. 
 
 If James Travis had gone back from Brookfield to 
 Essex County, from whence he came, and died there, 
 it hardly seems probable that in this deed of his heirs 
 he would have been described simply as " formerly of 
 Brookfield." At the date of June 22, 171 7, Benjamin 
 Whitney was described as of Sherborn, as well as 
 James Travis, his brother-in-law, the son of James 
 
3° HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 Travis, formerly of Brookfield, while Nathaniel Haven 
 is described as of Framingham ; but in a deed to 
 Benjamin Whitney May 22, 17 16, and again Mar. 27, 
 1717, James, the son of James, is described as of 
 Framingham. 
 
 Temple's History of North Brookfield, speaking of 
 the laying out of the home lots, says: "The deed ran 
 from Shattockquis, consented to by Mettawompe, to 
 Ensign Cooper of Springfield, and was dated Nov. 
 10, 1665. The home lots must have been distributed 
 subsequent to 1667, and probably in 1668, and James 
 Travis was given Lot 12. 
 
 " Oct. y e 10, 1673," James Travis signed a petition 
 "To The Highly Hon'd. y e Gen'rel Co'rte of the 
 Massachusetts " to incorporate the Town of Brook- 
 field. 
 
 Of the children of James and Mercy [Marsye] 
 (Pearce) Travis, the first child, Elizabeth, afterward 
 Mrs. Haven, was born in Gloucester on 8th, 12th, 
 (Feb. 8,) 1667, Old Style; during that year they re- 
 moved to Brookfield, and there they were living at or 
 about the time of the massacre, so that it is probable 
 that all of their other children were born in Brookfield ; 
 but no record of their births has been found, thouo-h 
 much search has been made. The petition for land 
 shows and identifies his only surviving children, and 
 indicates that no probate was ever had upon his es- 
 tate, and this is corroborated by the joint deed of 
 his heirs. 
 
 James Travis took part in King Philip's war, and on 
 Feb. 22, 1675-6, as appears in the Mass. Archives, 
 Vol. II, page 158, he was in a detachment of eighteen 
 men under command of Ensign Tymberleggs (Timber 
 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 3 r 
 
 lake), which detachment was consolidated with another 
 company of forty-six men, the whole being under the 
 command of Capt. William Turner. The record says 
 they " cleared " at Marlborough, for the relief of 
 Ouabogue (Brookfield). A list of men identical 
 with the names of the detachment of eighteen men, 
 has the name of Edward Crick (Creek) in place of 
 Henry Tymberleggs (Timberlake), and the record 
 says " as they came from Marlborough Feb. 29, 
 1675-6." 
 
 The combined commands of Capt. Moseley, Capt. 
 William Turner and Capt. Whitpoll, with three hun- 
 dred men, were under the chief command of Maj. 
 Savage. A large part of Capt. Turner's original com- 
 pany, after arrival at Ouabogue, marched home to 
 Boston April 7, 1676. Capt. Turner gathered his re- 
 maining men — with volunteers, having a total force of 
 one hundred and fifty — and took post at Hatfield. 
 He marched from Hatfield to the Falls (Turner's), 
 twenty miles through the woods, past the ruins of 
 Deerfield, to a point just south of Mt. Adams, and 
 defeated the Indians, taking them by surprise. He 
 set out to return to Hatfield, and was attacked by a 
 large party of Indians ; during the conflict, Capt. Tur- 
 ner and thirty-six of his men were killed, and two small 
 detachments of his force were captured. 
 
 No trace of James Travis is found after his march to 
 Quabogue (Brookfield), until in the records of Onon- 
 daga County, N. Y., of which the present County of 
 Oswego was formerly a part, the following entry is 
 found: — "Oswego: James Travis was captured by 
 the Indians in 1676, and held two years." Mass.

 Children : 
 
 5 1 Elizabeth, born in Gloucester Feb. 8, 1667-8 ; mar- 
 ried Nathaniel Haven, born in Lynn June 30, 1664, 
 son of Richard Haven and Susannah his wife, and 
 was the eleventh out of a family of twelve children. 
 Richard Haven made a will May 21, 1703, which 
 was proved June 14, 1703. His wife Susannah 
 had died in Lynn Feb. 7, 1682. Richard came 
 from the West of England in 1644. Nathaniel 
 came to Framingham as early as 1690 with his 
 brother John ; he died July 20, 1746. One 
 account says he married (2nd) Dec. 7, 1741, and 
 had other children, which seems hardly probable, 
 as he was then seventy-seven years of age.

 Oct. 24, 1 701, Benjamin Whitney of Framingham, 
 later of Sherborn, born Jan. 6, 1678-9. He 
 died, and his will was probated Sept. 25, 17 18 ; 
 the inventory was filed "y e 2i Oct. 1718;" the 
 amount of his estate being ,£712:3:4. He 
 was designated by the prefix " Cornet," the offi- 
 cer of lowest commissioned grade in the cavalry, 
 to whose charge the flag was confided ; a rank 
 equivalent to " Ensign " in the infantry. He 
 gave all his movables, house and land, to his wife. 
 In 1712 he resided in Sherborn, and petitioned 
 Governor Dudley for leave to form a cavalry 
 company. He left no children. He was the 
 eleventh child of Jonathan Whitney, born in 
 England in 1634, and Lydia Jones of Water- 
 town, whom he married Oct. 30, 1656, daughter 
 of Lewis Jones. Jonathan was admitted an in- 
 habitant of Sherborn in 1679, and died there in 
 1702, living near Chestnut Brook. An agree- 
 ment of his heirs is dated Charlestown, Jan. 21, 
 1 7 14. The widow Mercy's bill is as follows, viz. : 
 Funeral £6 : 18:0; Gloves £6 : 14:0; Wine 
 £$ : 15 ; Doctor £1 : 10: o; Grave Stones 
 ,£1:15:0; Paid Anne Fisher of Wrentham, 
 £1:6:0; Pd same Fisher £2 : 3:6. Present 
 in Court, Jan. 2, 1721, Lieut. Frink and his wife 
 Mercy, the widow of " Cornet " Benjamin Whit- 
 ney, deceased. 
 
 Benjamin gave most of his land to James Whitney of 
 Sherborn. 
 
 Lieut. Thomas Frink did not survive his wife Mercy, 
 as his estate was in probate Aug. 11, 1739 ; inventory, 
 ^1288: 19:6, presented by his son, Rev. Thomas 
 
34 HENRY IRA VERS 
 
 Frink, as executor, under date of May 6, 1 740. It 
 says : " Due to Mrs. Mary Frink, widow of Thomas 
 Frink, late of Sudbury, deceased, as appears by an 
 agreement between them before their marriage, the 
 sum of ^472 : 3 : 4." By his will he further gave to 
 his wife " my house that I bought of Benjamin Allen, 
 eighteen acres of land and a barn." He also speaks 
 in his will of his son-in-law Abraham Briant, and his 
 daughter Sarah Briant. 
 
 8-7 3 James, born probably in Brookficld, Mass. ; married 
 1698-99, Mercy Leland of Sherborn. She died 
 between Aug. 16, 17 10 and 17 16. He married 
 (2nd) Nov. 18, 1745, Elizabeth Wesson. 
 
 Tradition. 
 
 There is a tradition handed down, that one of the 
 pioneers of the family, from whom Elijah, who died 
 in Weston in 1824, was directly descended, was cap- 
 tured by the Indians, and it is given as having at 
 least an element of truth for its foundation, for the 
 History of Onondaga County, N. Y., says " James 
 Travis was captured by Indians in 1676 and held 
 two years." 
 
 The tradition runs thus : The family at this time 
 lived in or near Barre, Mass., which was then on the 
 frontier. The few families who lived in the neigh- 
 borhood were kept constantly on the watch to guard 
 against the Indians. The men, as a precautionary 
 measure, carried their guns slung upon their backs, 
 when laboring in the field. One day while James was 
 at work with two other men, they were surrounded, 
 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 35 
 
 surprised and captured by Indians, and he was hurried 
 off at a tremendous pace. The Indians forced him 
 to travel as rapidly as possible for about forty miles, 
 till they were safe from all pursuit, when, after going 
 a short distance further, they came to their camp. For 
 some unknown reason, instead of burning him at the 
 stake, as it was customary to do with captives, his life 
 was spared. 
 
 Soon afterward his life was again in danger ; a 
 chieftain's daughter who was to be married, wished a 
 human sacrifice, and all the prisoners were brought 
 out for inspection, he among the number. There were 
 nineteen in all, and they passed before this chieftain's 
 daughter, who selected the one who was to be sacri- 
 ficed. During this ordeal this captive was extremely 
 nervous, and when he came to pass before her he 
 trembled for his life. Fortunately for him, the one 
 chosen was an Englishman only about nineteen years 
 old. Such a scream as he gave, when she laid her 
 hand upon his shoulder, this ancestor said he had never 
 heard before. 
 
 The Indians seemed to take quite a liking to this 
 prisoner and his life was spared, although he was care- 
 fully watched. He was naturally gifted with great 
 strength and endurance, and was also an excellent shot. 
 He hunted, raced, and fired at a mark with his cap- 
 tors, being very careful never to excel in any of their 
 sports, although able to do so. After living with them 
 about a year they wished him to take a squaw and 
 settle among them, to all of which he gave a quick 
 consent. A wigwam was built for him, a belt of wam- 
 pum was given him, and a grand jubilee was prepared, 
 but the night before, seeing what he thought to be a 
 
3 6 HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 favorable opportunity to escape, he started, but was 
 caught the next forenoon and brought back to camp 
 and sentenced to death. At night he was bound with 
 withes and placed in a wigwam between two guards. 
 The guards slept, one on each side. In the early 
 evening he succeeded in freeing one hand and one 
 foot, but before he was able to do more, one of the 
 guards awoke and got up for a smoke ; the captive 
 all this time was, apparently, asleep. The guard at- 
 tempted to taunt him by asking him how he would 
 like fire for breakfast ; he was too sound asleep to 
 hear. By and by the guard laid down and went to 
 sleep, when, after much painful labor he succeeded in 
 freeing himself and getting outside the wigwam. It 
 was snowing lightly and there was a little snow on 
 the ground. He fastened his moccasins on, hind-side 
 before, and started. He had gone but a short dis- 
 tance when he came to a spot where a squaw and 
 her pappooses were sleeping under a blanket spread 
 on some bushes ; he took the blanket and spread it 
 on one of the horses fastened near-by and rode hard 
 all night. 
 
 At daylight he dismounted and set the horse on a 
 canter, retraced some of the ground he had traveled, 
 and then climbed up into the top of an immense 
 pine tree, where he was entirely concealed by the 
 branches, and there he spent the day. While there 
 the Indians passed beneath several times, and he 
 heard them tell what they would do with him if they 
 caught him. At dark he started and traveled as fast 
 as he could, and toward daybreak he crept under 
 some logs left by the Indians, and spent the day 
 there. While there some of the Indians crossed the 
 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 37 
 
 pile of logs without looking for him. At night he 
 started again, and traveled as far as he was able. 
 
 The next night while walking in a nearly famished 
 condition across a bog, he fell into the mud nearly 
 up to his neck, and being so weak from fasting, was 
 not able to extricate himself for some time, but at 
 last by the aid of some bushes he succeeded in climb- 
 ing upon a rock. There he found three crawfishes 
 which he devoured, and after a rest, started on. It 
 was his good fortune, soon after, to find the nest of 
 a wild turkey, filled with eggs, he ate as many as he 
 wanted and rested. When he again started he took 
 the remaining eggs with him. He was now nearly 
 at the settlement. As he approached his home his 
 children were playing near the house, and seeing him 
 coming, ran into the house, saying an Indian was 
 coming. The mother was courageous, and thought 
 if there was but one she was not afraid, so she went 
 to the door to see what he wanted. The children were 
 much surprised to see their mother throw her arms 
 around his neck and kiss him, but not until soap 
 and water had done their work did they recognize 
 their father. 
 
 7-8 (III) James Travis, son of James (II) and 
 Mercy (Pearce), was probably born in Brookfield, 
 between 1668 and 1676. He is said to have come 
 to Framingham before its incorporation, June 25, 1700, 
 and to have settled at Salem End on the Ebenezer 
 Harrington place, and afterward lived on the Joseph 
 Bullard place, near Cutler's Mills. 
 
 He was in Framingham evidently as late as the 
 early part of 171 7, when, in a deed, he is described as 
 
38 HENRY TR AVERS 
 
 of Framingham ; but he was also of Sherborn the same 
 year, when the papers were filed relating 1 to land in 
 Brookfield, and then had no wife, as appears. In 1698 
 or 1699 he married Mercy Leland of Sherborn, and 
 they had four children. She died between Aug. 16, 
 1 7 10, and the year 17 16. The births of their first 
 three children are recorded in Framingham ; no record 
 has been found there of the birth of John, the fourth 
 child. 
 
 In 1734, 1735 and 1736, he signs deeds alone, but 
 Nov. 18, 1745, as appears by records of the First 
 Church of Hopkinton, he married Elizabeth Wesson 
 of Hopkinton. Nov. 1, 1745, he deeded real estate 
 to her, lying in New Sherborn, in anticipation of mar- 
 riage, it being lot No. 46 in the division lands, and 
 drawn by him in 1 7 1 5. She signs deeds later, and is 
 referred to as "wife Elizabeth," but in 1760 she signs 
 as a widow. 
 
 April 20, 1756, when he must have been full four- 
 score years of age, if not more, he was adjudged to 
 be incapable of caring for himself, and Mr. Thomas 
 Mellen was appointed as his guardian. His estate 
 was in probate in 1756. He was there described as 
 the son of James and Mary. 
 
 Feb. 12, 1734, he deeds to his son James, Jr., for 
 parental affection, land in Framingham, on Sudbury 
 River, witnessed by his son Joseph ; and on Dec. 20, 
 1735, is recorded his deed to his beloved son Joseph, 
 for parental affection, of land in Sherborn. In both 
 of these deeds he is described as of Sherborn.

 20-10 2 James, born in Framingham April 12, 1703 ; married 
 Feb. 10, 1725, Rebecca Squire. Among the rec- 
 ords of the First Church of Holliston is the follow- 
 ing entry : " Members of the Congregation who 
 died in Holliston or places adjacent, from Dec. 18, 
 1753, t0 J an - 3°> J 7S4, James Travis." 
 11 3 Mary, born in Framingham Jan. 26, 1705-6.

 of Watertown, born May 7, 1704; died in Sherborn 
 Dec. 22, 1737, daughter of William and Sarah (Benja- 
 min) Hagar of Watertown. At his marriage Joseph 
 was described as of Sherborn. Mehitable was admitted 
 to full communion in the First Church, Sherborn (Uni- 
 tarian), June 6, 1736. Joseph married (2nd), by Israel 
 Loring, Mar. 29, 1740, Sarah Dean of Sudbury. She 
 was a daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (Allen) Dean 
 of Sudbury, as appears by Middlesex Probate, Jan. 5, 
 1722, where, in the will of Joseph Dean, are mentioned 
 sons Pelatiah and Daniel, and daughters Mary and 
 " Sary," each daughter receiving thirty pounds. Mary 
 Dean of Sudbury, by her will Jan. 9, 1767, gave "To 
 my beloved sister Sarah Travis two pounds, and to the 
 Town of Sudbury all my real and personal estate on 
 the east side of the river." 
 
4o HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 At the hearing April 5, 1768, Daniel Travis, son of 
 deceased's only sister Sarah, objected to the probate of 
 the will. It was passed and approved April 28, 1768. 
 Sept. 2, 1768, Joseph Travis of Natick, and wife Sarah 
 (Dean), appealed to the Governor and Council to 
 break the will. Witnesses, Daniel Travis, Amos Morse, 
 Samuel Morse, Samuel Morse, Jr., and John Cooledge. 
 Inventory, May 21, 1768, ^132: 13:6. The record 
 shows that in 1751 he joins in sale of land in Sudbury 
 and Weston, and is then described as of Natick. The 
 land belonged to the estate of his wife's father, Joseph 
 Dean , and her brother Pelatiah Dean and sister Mary, 
 spinster, join in the deed. Consideration, ^302. It 
 is also recorded, under date of Oct. 5, 1772 (Lib. 7^, 
 p. 35), that he deeds his homestead to his son Daniel, 
 reserving life-lease, and both were then described as of 
 Natick. The old archives of the Supreme Court show 
 that judgment was obtained against him for ^12, Feb. 
 4, 1767, by Benjamin Pemberton of Roxbury, and he 
 was then of Natick. It appears by the town records of 
 Natick that he was a constable there in 1762, 1771, 
 1772, 1777 and 1780. He was a corporal on David 
 Morse's muster roll, Buckminster's Reg't, in 1755, and 
 his son Asa was a private in the same company. 
 
 Vol. XCV, p. 323, Mass. Archives, April 19, 1757, 
 shows among the soldiers of Natick, Capt. John Cool- 
 edge's company, both Joseph and his son Asa as pri- 
 vates. He was also in the Quartermaster's department 
 at Fishkill, Oct. 14 ; grade, " Plane maker." 
 Children : 
 
 15 1 Sarah, born April 21, 1728 ; married Sept. 12, 1750, 
 in and of Framingham, Daniel B. Ilagar of Weston 
 (published in Weston May 2, 1750), and settled

 10-20 (IV) James Travis, son of James (HI), born 
 in Framingham April 12, 1703; married by the Rev. 
 Daniel Baker, Feb. 10, 1725, Rebecca Squire of Sher- 
 born, and the marriage is recorded in South Framingham 
 and Sherborn. He is then described as of Framing- 
 ham. Rebecca died a widow, Dec. 8, 1757, and John 
 Wesson, her son-in-law, was appointed administrator 
 Mar. 27, 1758. She was of Sherborn, and was daugh- 
 ter of and Rebecca Squire, and granddaughter of 
 
 John and Sarah Squire of Cambridge, who left widow 
 Sarah the use of his whole estate during her life ; then 
 to his son Samuel, a double portion of all his estate ; 
 to his grandson John Squire, all the land and buildings 
 where his mother Rebecca then lived, if he lived to 
 
42 HENRY TEA VERS 
 
 become of age, only that he must pay to his sister 
 " Rebeckah " Squire ten pounds, to his sister Sarah 
 ten pounds, to Daniel Squire five pounds, and to his 
 uncles Samuel and Daniel Squire five pounds each. 
 
 The estate of James Travis was in probate Feb. 1 1 , 
 1754, Middlesex County, and the record says : " Est. of 
 James Travis of Holliston, wife Rebecca, child Mercy, 
 wife of Robert Maxwell." Middlesex Probate also says 
 " division of Estate of Daniel Travis of Holliston, set 
 off to John Wesson and wife Thankful, real estate 
 £y8 : 2 : 8, including twenty-seven pounds, nine shil- 
 lings and four pence, before set off to the widow Mercy 
 Maxwell, sister of deceased." There also appears in 
 Middlesex Probate the following petition : — 
 
 Holliston Dec. 23, 1757. 
 
 Hon Sir. These may inform you that according to the best 
 information we have had the only surviving male heir to the estate 
 of the late James Travis, late of Holliston is yet living, he being 
 taken at Fort Win. Henry, and one of his neighbors, that was taken 
 with him is since returned and left him at Quebeck, and we have 
 since heard of his arrival at Halifax, and we expect that he will 
 return home in a short time. The widow, his mother, Administra- 
 trix on said estate, has lately deceased and it is expected that 
 application will be made to y r Honor for a letter of administration 
 on said estate. These are therefore to entreat the delay till more 
 certainty may be obtained. This with all submission from your 
 humble servants.

AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 43 
 
 It appears by the records that both James Travis and 
 Daniel, his brother, the only sons of James, the son of 
 James, were captured at Fort Wm. Henry Aug. 9, 1757, 
 and that later the estate of Daniel was distributed ; 
 neither son had married, so that at date of the above 
 petition it was supposed by many that there only 
 remained of the children of James the daughter Mercy, 
 who had married Robert Maxwell, and the daughter 
 Thankful, who had married John Wesson. Rebecca, a 
 widow, conveyed real estate in Holliston Feb. 27, 1748. 
 Children : 
 
 21 1 Mary [Mausy, Marsey, Mercy], born Oct. 26, 1729 ; 
 
 married Robert Maxwell, who died prior to 1754, 
 as appears by probate records. He was a son of 
 Alexander and Elizabeth Maxwell of Sherborn. 
 
 22 2 James, born Feb. 29, 173 1-2 ; captured at Fort Will- 
 
 iam Henry Aug. 9, 1757. 
 
 23 3 Daniel, born June 17, 1734; captured by Indians at 
 
 Fort William Henry Aug. 9, 1757, but ran to the 
 French. His estate was in probate Dec. 10, 1759, 
 John Wesson, administrator, but evidently his fam- 
 ily had evidence of his death prior to Dec. 23, 
 1757, the date of the foregoing petition. {Vide 
 Mass. Archives, Vol. LXXVII, p. 649-681.) He 
 was under Capt. John Carver. 
 
 24 4 Thankful, born July 15, 1737 ; married John Wesson. 
 
 12-25 (IV) John Travis, son of James (III), 
 born Aug. 16, 1710; died in Holliston July 23, 1789; 
 married in Holliston Jan. 7, 1741-2, Anna or Anne 
 Maxwell, who owned the covenant at the First Church, 
 Holliston, Mar. 7, 1756. She was born Jan. 14, 1724-5, 
 daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth Maxwell of Sher- 
 
44 HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 born. Their children were all baptized in Holliston. 
 She died in Medway, Dec. 4, 1773. 
 Children : 
 
 26 1 Submit, born Mar. 14, 1742-3 ; died Dec. 23, 1745. 
 
 She is recorded as the child of John and Anna. 
 Record is also in South Framingham. 
 
 27 2 Isaac, born April 27, 1746; baptized May 12, 1746; 
 
 died May 12, 1746. 
 
 28 3 John, born Sept. 15, 1747 ; baptized Sept. 20, 1747 ; 
 
 married Jan. 3, 1771, Rebecca Tammerlin. Jan. 
 9, 1786, as of Holliston, he conveys land in Hollis- 
 ton, wife Rebecca consenting. 
 
 29 4 Mary, born Oct. 1, 1749; baptized Oct. 8, 1749; 
 
 died July 20, 1751. 
 
 30 5 Mercy, born Nov. 23, 175 1 ; baptized Dec. 3, 175 1. 
 
 31 6 Sarah, born Sept. 27, 1753; baptized Nov. 4, 1753. 
 
 32 7 Comfort, baptized May 9, 1756. 
 
 33 8 Molly, born May 2, 1762 ; baptized May 2, 1762. 
 
 34 9 Elizabeth, born July 19, 1765 ; baptized 1765; mar- 
 
 ried Ebenezer Tufts, of Roxbury, N. H. 
 
 16-35 (V) Asa Travis, son of Joseph (IV), born 
 in Sherborn May 28, 1729 ; died in Deering, N. H., in 
 1806 ; married in 1753, Sarah Dunton, of Natick, Mass. 
 She was born in Natick " Dec. y e 26, 1730," and was 
 the daughter of Thomas and Deborah Dunton, of Na- 
 tick. Her father's estate was in probate in Middlesex 
 County June 20, 1 j^l^ value of ^627 14:3, with Eben- 
 ezer Felch as administrator, leaving widow Deborah 
 and children Deborah, Isaac, Johanna and Sarah, none 
 of whom were of age at that time; and July 4, 1737, 
 John Goodnow was appointed guardian of them all. 
 At the distribution of the estate each daughter was 
 given five and one-half acres and thirty-two rods of 
 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 45 
 
 land, the son eleven and one-quarter acres, and the 
 widow one-third of all the real estate for her dower. 
 The appraisal of the realty was ^500, and of the per- 
 sonal ^127 14:3. 
 
 Four years after the death of Thomas, his widow, 
 Deborah, became demented, and Dec. 14, 1741, Eleazer 
 Kingsbury was appointed her guardian, upon the peti- 
 tion of the selectmen of Natick, two of whom appear to 
 have been Indians, and made their mark of bow and 
 arrow, etc., and two other inhabitants of Natick, as she 
 had been found wandering about that part of the county 
 demented. Mr. Robert Cook became bondsman. June 
 3rd, 1745, Amos Fuller was appointed guardian of 
 Deborah Dunton of Natick, non compos. She died, 
 and Jan. 4, 1774, her son Isaac was appointed adminis- 
 trator of her estate. 
 
 Deborah Dunton, the wife and widow of Thomas 
 Dunton, and mother of Sarah (Dunton) Travis, was 
 daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Alden. At his de- 
 cease, in 1729, he was of Needham, but he was in Bil- 
 lerica before 1685, where he had a wife Deborah, 
 and where is recorded the birth of a child " Allice," 
 1694: 1: 17. His son, John Alden, was appointed 
 administrator of his estate, as of Needham, Mar. 2nd, 
 1729. 
 
 The inventory was ^576 113. In the settlement of 
 the estate are mentioned sons John and William, and 
 daughters Deborah Dunton and Susannah Alden, and 
 Elizabeth, the mother and relict of deceased. Settle- 
 ment dated April 12, 173 1. It is claimed that this 
 Henry Alden is descended from John and Priscilla of 
 Plymouth fame, but the claim has not been entered 
 upon in this inquiry. 
 
46 HENRY TRAVERS 
 
 Asa Travis and Sarah Dunton seem to have resided 
 in Natick at marriage, and there is recorded the birth 
 of their son Asa, Jr., Mar. 8th, 1754, whom we take to 
 have been their first child, but no record of the births 
 of their other children has been found. It seems alto- 
 gether probable, however, that all of their children were 
 born in Natick, then a Plantation, where nearly all 
 the offices seem to have been filled by Indians, and 
 probably many of them could not read or write, as in 
 the instance quoted, where they made their marks. 
 They had nine children who lived to mature age, but a 
 child, aged thirteen months, died June 21, 1768, and a 
 daughter Anna, aged ten years, died Sept. 15, 1775, as 
 recorded in First Parish, Wayland. 
 
 He had a sister Zerviah, who came to visit or live 
 with him in 1765, and was warned from Natick, as was 
 the custom in those days with strangers, lest they be- 
 come paupers. This notice shows that Asa was living 
 in Natick in 1765, and gives the probability that his 
 children were all born there. 
 
 No more is known of their residence until he appears 
 among the soldiers of the Revolutionary army, with 
 some of his children, from East Sudbury. He re- 
 sponded to the Lexington Alarm, and his sons Asa, 
 Elijah, Oliver, Aaron and William, were in the ranks 
 from Sudbury. He was a taxpayer in Sudbury in 1779 
 and 1780. He was a member of a large committee of 
 East Sudbury in 1781, "to see what number of school- 
 houses should be tho't necessary." 
 
 In the year 1783 he seems to have taken up his bed 
 and departed from East Sudbury, leaving no trace, of 
 record, behind him, but he appears at once at Deering, 
 N. H., and his sons Asa, Aaron, Oliver, Luther and 
 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 47 
 
 William, are shortly with him, if not with him at first. 
 His son Elijah does not seem to have gone with his 
 father, as we find him settled at Waltham, Mass., where 
 he married, and where nine of his ten children were 
 born, the tenth having- been born after their removal to 
 Weston, Mass., from Waltham. Oliver married Dec. 
 11, 1783, at Waltham, Milly Gooding of Waltham, and 
 his name appears upon the tax lists of Deering for the 
 years 1794 to 1801 inclusive. Joel, another son of 
 Asa, appears to have remained in or near East Sud- 
 bury, now Wayland. 
 
 Asa had a daughter Mehitable, who married July 10, 
 1783, Thomas or Thaddeus Gooding of Waltham. She 
 was then described as of East Sudbury. They went 
 to New Hampshire and settled in Mt. Vernon, where 
 they were known as " Goodwin," and had several chil- 
 dren, but the family seems to be extinct. Asa also 
 had a daughter Abigail, who went to Deering with her 
 parents, and there married Stephen Brown. 
 
 The names of Asa and Asa, Jr., continue upon the 
 tax lists of Deering from 1783 to 1806, when Asa, Sr., 
 died, aged 77 years. Asa, Jr., continues on tax list, 
 appearing for the last time in 18 13, when he removed 
 to Newport, N. H. Asa, the elder, was taxed in East 
 Sudbury in 1779 upon ^208. No record has been 
 found of the probate of his estate. His sons Aaron 
 and Luther died in Deering, and William died in Hills- 
 borough. Aaron left quite a family, now represented 
 by several generations. Asa, Jr., died in Newport in 
 1825. Asa, the elder, was a private in 1755, as appears 
 by Capt. David Morse's muster roll, Buckminster's 
 Reg't, and his father Joseph was a corporal in the same 
 company.
