ï~~PREFACE.
SOME explanatory introduction to so copious a work, as the
following, will naturally be required; but it may be short.
In 1829 was published, by John Farmer, a Genealogical
Register of the first settlers of New England. Beside the five
classes of persons prominent, as Governors, Deputy-Governors,
Assistants, ministers in all the Colonies, and representatives in
that of Massachusetts, down to 1692, it embraced graduates of
Harvard College to 1662, members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, as also freemen admitted in Massachusetts, alone, to this latter date, with many early inhabitants
of other parts of New England and Long Island from 1620 to
1675. Extensive as was the plan of that volume, the author
had in contemplation, as explained in his preface, calling it "an
introduction to a biographical and genealogical dictionary," a
more ambitious work, that should comprehend sketches of individuals known in the annals of New England, and "a continuation of eminent persons to the present time." Much too
vast a project that appeared to me; and the fixing of an absolute limit, like 1692 (the era of arrival of the new charter), for
admission of any family stocks, seemed more judicious. I suppose nineteen twentieths of the people of these New England
colonies in 1775 were descendants of those found here in 1692,
and probably seven eighths of them were offspring of the settlers
before 1642.
My scope is wider than that of Farmer, of course, as it
includes every settler, without regard to his rank, or wealth,
since we often find, in the second or third generation, descendants of the most humble (thank God we are all equal before the

law) filling honorable stations and performing important services. But far more narrow is my plan than his projected
dictionary, because, in a grandson of the first settler, it excludes
every other incident after his birth. Space for another than is
here given, would have demanded six volumes, while ten
volumes would have been needed for a fifth generation; and
since we now count eight, nine, or even ten generations of offspring from not a few of the earlier planters on our shores, fifty
volumes, each as ponderous as the present, might be filled with
details, whereof one tenth would seem ridiculous, one quarter
worthless, and one half wholly uninteresting.
That New England was first occupied by a civilized people
in so short a period before the great civil war broke out in our
mother country, though half a century and more after its elementary principles began to ferment, especially in Parliament,
and almost in every parish of the kingdom, was a very fortunate
event, if it may not be thought a providential arrangement for
the happiness of mankind. Even if our views be restricted to
the lineal origin of those people here, when the long protracted
impolicy of Great Britain drove our fathers into open hostility
and forced them to become a nation in 1776, in that century
and a half from its colonization, a purer Anglo Saxon race
would be seen on this side of the ocean than on the other.
Within forty years a vast influx of Irish, with not a few thousand Scotch and Germans has spread over this new country,
but certainly more than four fifths of our people still count their
progenitors among the ante-revolutionary colonists. From long
and careful research I have judged the proportion of the whole
number living here in 1775, that deduce their origin from the
kingdom of England, i. e. the Southern part of Great Britain,
excluding also the principality of Wales, to exceed ninety-eight
in a hundred. Every county, from Northumberland to Cornwall, Kent to Cumberland, sent its contribution of emigrants,
and the sparse population of the narrow shire of Rutland had
more than one offshoot in New England. But, during that
interval, great was the diversity of circumstances between the
old and the new country so far as the increase of their respective
numbers by incoming of strangers was affected. In 1660 the
restoration of Charles  I.--in 1685 the expulsion of the two

hundred thousand Protestants from France, the desired invasion
of William and Mary in 1689, and the settlement of the House
of Hanover in 1714, each brought from the continent an infusion upon the original stock, the aggregate of which may not
have been less than five or six per cent. of that into which it
was ingrafted. Yet hardly more than three in a thousand, for
instance, of Scottish ancestry, almost wholly the migration of
the heroic defenders of Londonderry, that came, as one hundred
and twenty families, in 1718 and 19, could be found in 1775
among dwellers on our soil; a smaller number of the glorious
Huguenot exiles above thirty years longer had been resident
here, and may have been happy enough by natural increase
(though I doubt it) to equal the later band. If these be also
counted three in a thousand, much fewer, though earlier still,
must be the Dutch that crept in from New York, chiefly to
Connecticut, so that none can believe they reach two in a thousand, while something less must be the ratio of Irish. Germany, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Africa, and all the rest of the
world, together, did not outnumber the Scotch, or the French
singly. A more homogeneous stock cannot be seen, I think, in
any so extensive a region, at any time, since that when the ark
of Noah discharged its passengers on Mount Ararat, except in
the few centuries elapsing before the confusion of Babel.
What honorable ancestry the body of New England population
may assert, has often been proclaimed in glowing language;
but the words of William Stoughton, in his Election sermon,
1668, express the sentiment with no less happiness than brevity:
" GOD SIFTED A WHOLE NATION THAT HE MIGHT SEND CHOICE GRAIN
INTO THE WILDERNESS."
By an instinct of our nature, we all love to learn the places
of our birth, and the chief circumstances in the lives. of our
progenitors. More liberal than that is the sentiment by which
our curious spirit desires knowledge of the same concomitants
in the case of great benefactors of mankind; and the hope of
ascertaining to a reasonable extent the early history of John
Harvard was certainly one of the chief inducements of my visit
to England early in 1842. I would have gladly given five
hundred dollars to get five lines about him in any relation, private or public. Favored as I was, in this wish, by the counte

nance and aid of His Excellency, E. Everett, then our minister
at London, no trace could be found, except in his signature to
the rules on taking his degrees at the University, when he is titled
of Middlesex. Perhaps out of such research sprang my resolution to prosecute the genealogical pursuits of John Farmer.
In fulfilment of this great undertaking more than fifteen years
are already bestowed, and near two years longer may be necessary. Yet the rule imposed, of admitting upon these pages
only the dates of birth and marriage, and names of children, of
a child born on our side of the ocean to a settler whose tent
was pitched here before May 1692, is severely adhered to, with
the exception only of so distinguished a man as Cotton Mather;
and even this variety may seem forced upon me by Farmer,
who had received him to the copious honors of marriage and
family. Yet, in many cases, will be named great grandchildren
of first comers, and even in a very few, another generation,
making a fifth. Explanation of this apparent deviation from
my own law is easy. When Gov. Bradford and Gov. Winthrop
came here, each brought a son, or sons, and the same is seen of
Gov. Dudley and numberless others. Now each child must be
rated as an emigrant no less than its father, so that John Bradford, John and Adam Winthrop, and Samuel Dudley are
equally entitled as their parents to hIve their grandchildren
entered in these pages; but William and Joseph Bradford, and
Joseph Dudley, sons of the Govs. born on our side of the
water, shall not have grandchildren in their respective lines.
My apparatus for this work will sometimes be found incomplete, yet to a great extent, the public records of Colonies,
Counties, and towns, where accessible, have been examined by
myself or friends. Of the first ten folio volumes of our Suffolk
registry of deeds I had an abstract always lying near me, and
these embraced near one third of all the names of New England and more than half those in Massachusetts Colony; indeed for very many years, after the emigration from Europe
ceased, only two other counties, Essex and Middlesex had been
constituted. It will be recollected, that large parts of Plymouth, New Hampshire, and Maine were occupied by those
who removed from Massachusetts, as was almost the whole of
Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Haven colonies. But

modern labors of distinguished antiquaries furnish us almost in
full their early records; and more than nine tenths of the names
in these separate communities, I think, must have been acquired
for this work. But even in my native city of Boston three or
four  in a thousand may have escaped me, yet probably in the
second or third ages from its foundation.
For the time of births, marriages, or deaths in each family I
have labored assiduously to be correct, in hundreds of cases
finding wrong dates given, and commonly without hesitation
supplying the true. Where baptism is fixed, by a decent record,
weeks, and even months before the date of birth, no fear of
injuring the town clerk's credit can restrain belief in his mistake.
But the copious source of vexation is the variety growing out of
the Old and New Styles. In many thousand instances, I have
turned to the perpetual almanac, to be sure that the day of
baptism was truly, or not, recorded for Sunday, since the rite
could, in the first century of New England, be performed only
on that day. By this many printed errors may be corrected.
As children are often seen to be baptized in January or February of the same year, by the ancient legal reckoning, that gives
the parents' marriage in April or May, several weeks before, in
our modern reckoning of the months, instead of so many months
after, it is easy enough to put that right by calling those winter
months not the eleventh and twelfth of the old year, as the statute absurdity required. Uniformly my chronology begins the
year with 1 January; but to produce harmony between dates
for the month of March is sometimes very difficult. A few
town officers began to change the numerals for the year with
the opening of the month, daring to ask, why the first month
of 1679 should allow 24 of its 31 days to be drilled under
old 1678, while the perverse will of the rulers in fatherland
postponed the new-year's day until the 25th; and some records
may be found, where the year ended in December; but this
monstrous innovation did not begin before 1700, and the startling truth made irregular progress up to 1752, when Lord
Macclesfield enlightened the legislature, and Chesterfield charmed
it into consistency.
No apology would be necessary for filling room with enumeration of contributions from many friends other than such as are




ï~~PREFACE.

open to all in printed volumes; but much of what is now
within every one's reach had been furnished in MS. to me, and
still more is from the same hands, in many cases, given first to
the light on my pages. Our town histories are crowding forward, and sometimes in less compact space than might be
wished. Windsor, though its History is large, has not equalled
ancient Woodbury in bulk, yet seems to contain all, with threefold of the interest, that might have contented us in the other.
The point of research may occupy long time, and be expressed
at last in brief phrase, so that no comparison can be made
between the result in different parts of the same field of battle
from taking only the numbers engaged in each. One initial
letter in this dictionary required a year and a quarter for its
complete preparation, more than three months were given to
each of several names, like Hall or Williams, and the progress
of a page has often demanded a week. It seemed my duty to
expose every error in our genealogy that has got imbedded in
any reputable book; and the suspicion of any such may lead
to a long train of inquiries before the refutation can be reached.
If my success has been less than my ambition, it has not been
owing to lack of industry, or to hurried operation. Printing of
the first volume began in Dec. 1858, and was prosecuted without interruption of a day to this time; while for the next
volume the careful amanuensis has ready for the compositor
two hundred pages, a part of which will be given to the press
to-morrow. For the access of new information that reaches us
almost every month, a constant watch is kept; and life and
health being continued, my contract with the community may
be decently discharged in the autumn of 1861.
A very extensive catalogue of gentlemen, that might be
graced by one of more than half a dozen ladies, could here be
supplied, were it useful to mention the smaller as well as the
greater contributors to these sheets. To Goodwin, Bond, Harris,
father and son, Kingsley, Abbot, Day, Shattuck, Lunt, and
Kilbourne, of the respectable file who have passed out of
active service, it would not be easy to state the respective proportions of indebtedness; nor could I specify the ratio of
benefit derived in my pages from benevolence of the living

the acquisition exceeds that of any other ten contributors.
Early in 1846 I had solicited the benefit of uniting his name
with mine in producing these volumes; but while he shrank
from the responsibility of such unbroken labor, I can offer
several hundred pages of letters to vouch for his sympathy, and
encourage my perseverance.
19 APRIL, 1860.




ï~~


ï~~ABBREVIATIONS.
BY the number of more or less imperfect words, that can be not much less than
three hundred thousand in these volumes, very great saving of space was expected.
Caution was given me, in the Genealog. Reg. XII. 362, against the woful disfiguring
that would follow, if the specimen, offered by the publishers to attract subscribers,
were to be taken for a sample. As most of these curtailments were common however
in similar works, I dared to adhere to the plan, which has not, perhaps, repelled a
dozen patrons; and even enlarged my list by addition of one that would occur about
two thousand times. The word freeman, or freemen, may be seen, in its new shape,
freem. without offence, I hope, to the taste of any subscriber. Familiar to all readers
must be the short form given to our names of the months, nine in twelve, only May,
June, and July having their whole beauty; and yet of these nine words the recurrence
would probably show the mutilations on my pages to be fifteen or twenty thousand.
Titles are always permitted even in other books to appear in brief, as Gov. or Esq.
and when rep. may stand for representative, most who turn over a dictionary of this
sort will approve the economy. It may happen that, by the accident of the printer's
type, or my own carelessness, some word may be abbreviated that had better been
printed in full, yet I submit, that the page will be seldom disfigured by such liberty,
and probably the reader would not change more than once in five hundred examples.
Confusion will not be caused so often as that, I hope; but if a pause be necessary, we
all feel the same thing in turning to an English dictionary for definition of words
only. Nobody reads continuously from page to page, even in the affluent vocabulary
of Johnson; and when a sincere desire to verify a genealogy, or ascertain a special
relationship, is felt, the time will not be grudgingly reckoned, if a sentence be not
printed out in every word, but with one third or more of those words curtailed. In
the following list every word thus abbrev. may not be found, because the shortening
may by a judicious reader be referred to a class comprising many, as the adverbial
terminations, ly, bly, wanting after easi. and honora.; or the perfect tense or participles of verbs, ed; or in substantives, er and ent.; or in either part of speech, ensu.
mak. preced. and tak. without ing or en. For many having different meanings, as ch.
for child, or children, or church; d. for death, died, or daughter; gr. for grand, great,
grant, or graduate; mo. for mother or month, the one intended may be trusted to the
student's sagacity.
But occasions of error in names of men or women I have scrupulosly avoided, so
that only one surname can be seen in my pages to be abbrev. and but a single name
of bapt. Eliz. can hardly be mistaken, nor will the lamentation be loud, when a man's
name so distinguished as that of the first Gov. of Mass. is spelled Winth. Geographical designations are forever meeting our eyes in briefer form than the legal one; and
he has poor supply of current letters that requires to be told what shires in Eng. are
meant by Bucks, Herts, or Notts.

widely diverse is the origin by ano. tradit. had gr. in Feb. 1641, of 40
acres by vote of Boston, of wh. Braintree was part, i. e. the proportion

only five are nam. in his will, 1646, pro. 8 June 1647, where appear

took no notice, it may be that the number eight applied to s. means in
truth ch. seven s. and one d. but names eno. for the s. may be seen, and
certainly one is good, if not two beyond the devisees in the will, as
Henry, Thomas, Jonathan, in some reports call. William.  The inscript, on the monu. erect. by his descend. John Adams, sec. Presid. of

354 gives the list. Gladly would we learn more of so promin. a man,
ancest. of the Rev. John A. Albro, D. D. of Cambridge, and speak with
confid. if rec. would permit. Very reasona. may be the conject. that he
came, as a youth of 14 yrs. under charge of William Freeborne, in the

in comp. of so many others with Gov. Coddington to purchase R. I.

Mary, in the new Chart. under adv. of Increase Mather, 1691 made a
counsellor, but was next yr. left out, on the popul. revulsion against his
patron. Hutch. II. 15, says only, that he was of Maine, yet strange is it,
that both he, and Douglas, I. 4186 should falsely spell his name, Alcot, and
stranger still, that Mather should have put that error into his charter,
prob. for the sake of euphony. JOHN, Kittery, adm. freem. of Mass.

ALDBURG, JOHN, a youth of 14, came in the Francis, 1634, under
William Freeborne. - See Alborow.
ALDEN, * DAVID, Duxbury, s. of John of the Mayflower, was rep. 1689
and 90, after the overthrow of Andros; but Farmer was, I doubt, under
mistake in making him Assist. 1690; and Winsor follow, him. His
w. was Mary, d. of Constant Southworth, by wh. he had Benjamin, Samuel, and Alice. t' JOHN, Plymouth, passeng. in the first ship 1620,
had not been assoc. at Leyden with the pilgrims, but was hired at Southampton as a cooper, with right of staying on this side or return. m. 1623,
Priscilla, d. of William Mullins, wh. as well as his w. d. the first Feb.
after land. We kn. only eight ch. by their names, John, b. perhaps
1623; Joseph, David, Jonathan, Eliz., Sarah, Ruth, and Mary; but
in Bradford we find h. and w. liv. in 1650, "and have eleven ch. and
their eldest d. hath five ch."  Of these in May 1627, at the.div. of cattle, only John and Eliz. are named, so that the other nine were b. later,
but their dates of b. are not heard. He liv. most of his days at Duxbury, was rep. 1641, yet had been chos. an Assist. for the Col. 1633, to
Gov. Winslow, and serv. 42 yrs. in that office, to every Gov. after Carver. Idly would tradit. attempt to magnify his merit, as the first to jump
upon the rock at Plymouth land. when he was not of the party in the
shallop that discov. the harbor, but contin. on board ship at Cape Cod.
He was the last male surv. of the signers of the compact in that harbor,
Nov. 1620, and d. 12 Sept. 1687, aged 84, or, by other acco. 88. Of the
ds. Eliz. m. 18 Dec. 1644, William Peabody and d. 3 May 1717, aged
94, says her gr. stone; Sarah m. Alexander Standish; Ruth m. 12 May
(Winsor has it 3 Feb.) 1657, John Bass of Braintree; and Mary m.
Thomas Delano. JoHN, Duxbury, eldest s. of the preced. rem. to Boston, where the rec. says, perhaps erroneous. by w. Eliz. he had Mary, b.
17 Dec. 1659, for that date may be of d. of his w. since 1 Apr. foll.
he m. (I suppose as sec. w.) Eliz. d. of William Phillips, and wid. of
Abiel Everill, had John, b. 20 Nov. foll. d. soon; Eliz. 9 May 1662, d.
at 2 mos.; John, again, 12 Mar. 1663; William, 16 Mar. 1664, d. soon;
Eliz. again, 9 Mar. 1665; William, again, 5 Mar. 1666, d. soon; Zechariah, 8 Mar. 1667, d. soon; William, again, 10 Sept. 1669; Nathaniel,
1670; Zechariah, again, 18 Feb. 1673, H. C. 1692; Nathan, 17 Oct.
1677; and Sarah, 27 Sept. 1681. In the witchcraft madness of 1692,
he suffer. many weeks imprisonm. as Calef and Hutch. II. 48, relate, yet
recover, from the popul. persecut. and d. 14 Mar. 1702. His d. Eliz. m.
John Walle   possib. gr.s. of Rev. Thomas; and next 30 Apr. 1702,
Simon Willard, but this union is not clear to me. As his s. John had w.
Eliz. it is diffic. from the Boston rec. to tell wh. John and Eliz. had the
latest b. It might as easily be infer, that the witchcraft belong, to the

s. as the f., and indeed Thayer in his Geneal. makes the younger the suffer. in wh. he is foll. by Winsor, contrary to the general import of Calef
and Hutchinson. With them I concur, for the s. was only 29 yrs. old,
and more venerable age is usually found liable to assaults by the great
adversary for such cases. JONATHAN, Duxbury, br. of the preced. m.
10 Dec. 1672, Abigail, d. of Andrew Hallet, had Andrew, Jonathan,
John and Benjamin; but no dates are found for either. The two former,
it is said, went to Lebanon. He was bur. 17 Feb. 1698, aged 70, says
fam. tradit. and his wid. d. 17 Aug. 1725, aged 81. JOSEPH, Duxbury,
br. prob. elder, of the preced. m. Mary, d. of Moses Simmons, rem.
early to Bridgewater, had Isaac; Joseph, b. 1668; John, and, perhaps Eliz.
and Mary; and d. 8 Feb. 1697. The ds. were m. one bef. and one
after. From the passeng. in the Mayflower are fill. with details of descend.'28 pages of Thayer's Geneal. and in Collect. of Epitaphs, by Rev.
Timothy Alden, compris. in 5 vols. is seen large proof of filial gratitude.
Of this name eight had been gr. at Harv. in 1834, and two at Yale.

he was sett. in the midst of gr. disquiet, at the first ch. on the same day,

Sadler of Patcham in Co. Sussex, presum. by me to have been wid. of
blessed John Harvard, his predecess. as collea. with Rev. Zechariah
Symmes. In his Ecclesiast. Ann. I. 379, Mr. Felt makes her accomp.
Allen, as his w. but this seems highly improb. as the w. would naturally
have unit. with our ch. soon after her h. if not at the same time, whereas
no fem. mem. of the name of Allen was rec. into the Boston ch. for a
long time after he had been sett. at C. exc. a maiden Eliz. 24 Mar. 1639
wh. two yrs. after m. Rev. Samuel Stone of Hartford. Bef. the coming
of Allen, we kn. from the Hist. of the first ch. at Charlestown, by Budington, p. 247, where begins the invalu. catalogue, that "John Harvard
and Ann Harvard his w." join. that ch. 6 Nov. 1637. From the Hist.
of Harv. Coll. it is kn. that Allen was admor. on est. of Harvard, and
paid the moneys bequeath, so that it can hardly be doubt. that the judgment of Felt was at fault, especially as, a few pages earlier, the diligent
author had noted, that Harvard's wid. was "supposed to have m. Rev.
Thomas Allen."  His ch. were Mary, b. 31 Jan. bapt. 13 Feb. 1640;
Sarah, 8 Aug. 1641, d. in Apr. foll.; Eliz. 17 Sept. 1643, d. in few days;
and Mercy, 13 Aug. 1646, d. in few days. The rec. of bapt. for many
yrs. after 1640, is lost. In 1651 he went home, and serv. at the same
altar of St. Edmunds, in his native city, where he had officiat. bef.
com. hither, when worried out of his diocese, 1636, by Bp. Wren; and
again he suffer. in the gen. ejectm. of 1662; yet was with much affection

For a sec. w. he had Joanna, wid. of maj.-gen. Robert Sedgwick, wh.

of Bradford. In 1643, the Dutch, with wh. he had passed some yrs. having lost the confid. of his early friends bef. 1631, would employ him, with

Essex, freem. 4 Mar. 1635, rep. at March Gen. Ct. 1636, rem. prob. next

names these and the gr.ch. Mary, d. of Newberry.  Common. in his

always so; and in the rec. and print, books, it is nearly as often seen with

adm. next yr. m. 28 Oct. 1669, Eliz. d. of Thomas Sanford of Milford,

ALLYN.

Sarah there bapt. Sunday foll. and Mary, 19 Nov. 1648; in 1651 rem.
to New London, and to the then adjoin, town of Norwich at its first settlem. 1659; but, high as is her authority on such a point, I hesitate to
adopt Miss Caulkins's opin. that, intermed. betw. Salem and New London,
he was of Saybrook. Tho. honor. with the office of constable at Norwich
1669, he went back to N. L. and there d. 1683, where part of his farm
preserves in the harbor the name of Allyn's point. Other ch. beside
those at Salem he had, as Hannah and Deborah, both prob. at N. L.
Sarah m. 17 Feb. 1659, George Geer; Hannah m. Thomas Rose; and
Deborah was unm. at d. of f. * SAMUEL, Barnstable, s. of Thomas of

Hannah, 4 Mar. 1673; and Eliz. 26 Nov. 1681, wh. d. at 17 yrs. was
rep. three yrs. 1682-4. His w. d. 23 Oct. 1711, and he d. 25 Nov. 1726.
* THOMAS, Wethersfield 1636, not migrat. from Watertown, for Bond
has not nam. him, was br. of Matthew, with wh. he had extraord. controvers. in the law, as is fairly infer, from Trumbull's Col. Rec. I. 211,
was made freem. 1652, rep. 1656; and soon after d. as might be conclud. from not seeing his name as rep. in any yr. subseq. nor in the list
of freem. for that town 1669; yet he may have rem. to Middletown, as
no list of that sort is found from that place in Trumbull, and one of the
name there was deac. wh. d. 16 Oct. 1688, having had no ch. but leav.
wid. Martha, perhaps, wh. had been wid. of Roger Jepson, and d. 1690.
She calls, in her will, Obadiah A. of M. cousin. Y. not e is seen in his
last syl. tho. in his bapt. rec. Apr. 1604 (if he were s. of Samuel of
Chelmsford Co. Essex), the spell, is the other way. THOMAS, Barnstable, had Samuel, b. 10, bapt. 18 Feb. 1644; John, bapt. 27 Sept. 1646;
and Mehitable, bapt. 26 Nov. 1648; and he d. Nov. 1680, at gr. age.

Allyne, or Alleyne, I must confess, that, after long research, satisfact. is
unattain, in sev. cases, so many individ. have, perhaps capricious, at various times, writ. their fam. names in differ, ways.
ALMY, or ALMOND, -CHRISTOPHER, Portsmouth, R. I. s. of William,
b. in Eng. was an Assist. 1690. JOB, Portsmouth, R. I. br. of the preced.
by w. Mary, d. of Christopher Unthank of Warwick, had William and
Christopher, tw. Susanna, Audrey, Deborah, Catharine, and Mary, all
perhaps minors, when he d. 1684. JoHN, Plymouth 1643, perhaps br.
of the preced. m. Mary, d. of James Cole, rem. to Portsmouth, R. I. was
a capt. in Philip's war, 1675, as named in Church's Mem. 53, and d.
1676. WILLIAM, Lynn, perhaps as early as 1631, went home, and came
again, 1635, in the Abigail, aged 34, with w. Audrey, 32, and ch. Annis,
8; and Christopher, 3; remin. 1637, prob. to Sandwich, and certainly was
freem. of Portsmouth, R. I. 1655.  His will names ch. Christopher,
John, Job, Ann, w. of John Green, and Catharine, w. of a West, whose
bapt. name is not seen.
ALsoP, or ALSUP, DANIEL, New Haven, youngest s. of Joseph the
first d. 11 Jan. 1689, prob. unm. GEORGE, Milford 1667, d. a. 1680;
but was not constant resid. there, and notice of w. or ch. is not found, so

1643, was his sis. for Sylvanus Baldwin, her s. b. some yrs. after her
m. that yr. with Richard B. calls hims. "near kinsman" of George A.
JOSEPH, New Haven, had come, at the age of 14, to Boston in the Elizabeth and Ann, 1635, from London, went to New Haven early, took o.
of fidel. in 1644, bef. 1647 m. Eliz. the eldest d. of William Preston, had
Joseph; Eliz. b. 22 June 1650; Sarah, 8 Sept. 1652, but by ch. rec.
worthy of very little regard, 15 Sept. 1651; Mary, 3 Oct. 1654; Abigail,

had Thomas, b. 7 Sept. 1687; Richard; John; Hannah; Deborah;
Amy; and Eliz. d. Oct. 1718, aged 58; but his wid. wh. d. 23 Aug. 1757,
was 90. He is suppos., to have been brot. in youth by his uncle Thomas
Wardell of Newtown, wh. had no ch. and gave A. large est. See Riker's
Ann. of Newtown, 335. THOMAS, Stratford, wh. came in the Elizabeth
and Ann from London, 1635, aged 20, I think must have been br. of Joseph of New Haven, as they came together, and the younger, in 1651,
inform, the Court, that his br. without nam. him, had d. at S. leav. some
prop. and no more is kn. It may be, that the f. of these youths was that
John, rated for a subsidy in 1598, to the same parish and at the same
time with William Shakespear, nor would it be very extrav. to presume,
that he, too, went up to London from Stratford on Avon. See my notes
on Edward Jackson. TIMOTHY, New Haven 1646, mariner.
ALson, THOMAS, Salem vill. was a soldier, k. by the Ind. 16 July
(unless 16 May be nearer the day of fight, and the other only date of ree.)
1690, with others at Casco.  See Felt Ann. II. 509. Yet Willis I. 205,
refer. to the same rec. spells the sufferer's name, as seems, at least, equal.
likely to be correct, Alsop. But I would gladly see his origin.

last ds. i. e. what Lynde was h. of the former, what Newman of the latter,
tho. much inquiry has been bestow. He had also Henry, who d. in Eng.
and left his prop. to the f. JOHN, Ipswich 1665, whose inv. was render.
3 May 1701, had been a soldier in the Province serv. Possib. but not
prob. he may have been one of the unhappy prisoners of the battle at
Worcester, 3 Sept. 1651 (that "crowning mercy" to Oliver Cromwell),
of wh. 272 were ship. in Nov. after, in the John and Sarah, from London,
to be sold here, arr. in May foll. at Boston. Beside this John, Alister,
David, and William A. were victims of the same cruel policy in the same
ship. Part of the prisoners of Dunbar, import, in the former yr. had been
well receiv. as Cotton wrote to Cromwell, and sold for 6, 7, or 8 yrs. servitude. Most of these unfortunate young men d. of scurvy, or of broken
hearts; and some of the exiles ran away, perhaps with good-will of their
purchasers, so that not one in fifty of these soldiers that foll. Charles II.
in the fatal fields of Dunbar and Worcester, and were sold in Boston, prob.
five hundred in num. liv. to have fams. in our country. JOHN, Salem
1673, a shipmaster, had been, perhaps, of Boston, 1655, and adm. with

but neither of him, nor of Richard, who may have been his br. is any more
seen. WILLIAM, Watertown, of wh. Dr. Bond found only, that he sat on

See the invalu. " Cambridge Ch. gathering," by Newell with appx. of
Mitchell, and Harris's Epit. A person, "well skill. in mathemat." of this
name, as is ment. in Haz. I. 591, and Belkn. I. 57, is suppos. to be this
Cambridge man. See Col. Rec. III. 329 and 361. SAMUEL, eldest s. of
the preced. was min. of Milford, ord. 15 Nov. 1685, m. Abigail, d. of Gov,
Robert Treat, had Samuel, and prob. others, and d. 24 Jan. 1738. The
name has a final s. in the Conn. rec. but the Rev. owner reject. the addit.;
the ch. and town rec. of Cambridge admit the letter, tho. the indisput.
authority of the Coll. catal. deny, and discrimin. yet in his Hecatompolis
(cli. 7 of the Magn. I.) Mather sanctifies the intrusion. WILLIAM, Cambridge, mariner, the freem. of 4 Mar. 1634, by w. Mary, wh. d. 19 Jan.
1640, had Samuel and perhaps other ch. and d. bef. 1655. WILLIAM,
Ipswich, was sch.master there, and in sev. other towns, may not have been
br. of Rev. Samuel, and d. 19 July 1683. But in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 19,
the extr. from the interleav. Almanac of Sewall, noticing this event is
remark. diverse in the name from the careful writer on the Ipswich gr.
sch. in G. R. VI. 69, wh. makes Thomas Andrews succeed famous Cheever in the sch. 1 Aug. 1660, and teach. 23 yrs. and d. 10 July 1683.
Vehemently do I suspect, that one or the other is mistaken, that only one
man is intend, and the date of d. 10 or 19, easily reconcil. Of this name,
without s. in 1834, as Farmer mark. three had been gr. at Harv. three

Benjamin, and John, again, tw. 19 May 1689; and Thomas, 1690; beside Daniel, bapt. 10 Sept. 1693; Samuel, 24 Nov. 1695; perhaps more.
*DANIEL, Salem, sch.master, in 1672, was, Dr. Bond thinks, s. of Thomas
of Watertown, liv. in the pt. call. the vill. now Danvers, for wh. in the
June Sess. 1689, the first yr. of liberty recov. from Andros, he was rep.
and in 1692 was charg. with the preposter. crime of witchcraft, perhaps
bec. he kn. more than some of his neighb. but was releas. early in the yr.
foll. when reason prevail, over the influence of Cotton Mather. DANIEL,
Farmington, s. of John, had Daniel, b. 9 Mar. bapt. 20 July 1673; Mary,
9, bapt. 13 Dec. 1674; Joseph, b. 10 Aug. 1676; Thomas, 1678; John,

Stephen, again, 28 Sept. 1690.  EDWARD, Newport 1639, perhaps
rem. to Saco, at least one of the name was freem. there 1653, acc.
Folsom, 123, of the planta. I suppose he means, for he does not appear in
the Col. list, d. 1668. EDWARD, Hartford 1655, sw. freem. 1657, had
Edward, wh. d. unm. and Solomon; beside ds. Mary, and Sarah, of wh.
the last m. Henry Treat of H. and next David Forbes. EDWARD, Warwick, among freem. there 1655, but no w. or ch. is heard of; may possib.
be he who was early of Newport. FRANCIS, Hartford 1639, had John,
bapt. 27 Sept. 1646; and Thomas, 2 Jan. 1648; rem. to Fairfield, there
d. 1662, or 3, his will being of 6 June of the former. pro. 5 Mar. of the

Rebecca, wh. bec. sec. w. 7 July 1678, of Samuel Benedict of Norwalk;

Quite uncert. is it, whether his s. Abraham were the man, wh. d. 1693, or
he wh. had ch. 1699.  * HENRY, Taunton, an orig. purchas. rep. 1639

means, under a forged order for discharge, as the curious myth is told in
a letter that Hutch. had partly copied, II. 61; and the letter writer assures us, that he saw the return of the officer on the docum. and was told

THOMAS, Providence, call. jun. when he took o. of alleg. June 1668, was
s. of the preced. by sec. w. and d. 3 Dec. 1726. Confus. in parts of the
rec. of this fam. in R. I. is found, but it may be avoid, by caution, as the
fam. tradit. makes sec. w. of the first Thomas to be Park, instead of Parkhurst, and where it tells, that a d. min. a Vernon, it may be easy blunder
for Farnum. WILLIAM, Hinghamn 1635, br. of the first Thomas, b. as is
said, 1589, had Benedict, Thomas, Stephen, beside one d. Joanna, wh. m.
Zechary Rhodes, and ano. Eliz. wh. m. Thomas Hopkins, all b. as is thot.

Backus notes, that he was anc. of the infamously unhappy Benedict of
West Point. Of the ch. of one Arnold of Reading recov. from sickness near

that is lamenta. extravag. and seems more ridicul. than extravag. Arnold is
the name of a parish in Eng. a. 6 miles N. from the borough of Nottingham. Three of this name had in 1834 been gr. at Yale, two at Dart. and
five at other N. E. coll. of wh. none at HIarv.

been gr. at Yale, and since that date one at Harv. and one at Dart.
ASHTON, HENRY, Boston 1673, from Co. Lancaster, Eng. was, I suppose, of Providence 1676, one of the men entitled, for staying out the

p. 82 makes him have, for first w. a d. of Andrew Alger, but after rem.
says, he m. Mary, d. of Nicholas Edgcomb, wid. of George Page. Yet
the same w. is ascrib. to John Austin, and all that we can be sure of, is
that nothing is sure a. the matter. THOMIAs, Providence 1639, perhaps
br. of James. Both are call. proprs. and that no more can be told of
either, is rather remarka.

hardly venture to guess, tho. when mortals direct the bolts of eternal justice, their aim is commonly unanimous. Strange, it seems to me, is the

one or more there may have been of unkn. names; one or more b. in

Easy eno. may be the conject. as to error, that the writer in the clerk's

1644, had brs. John and Robert (unless the latter were neph.) to wh. with
sis. Esther Coster he gave most of his est. that was a good one, by will of
20 Sept. 1669, being "bound on a voyage to Boston." Yet he got back
safe, and liv. sev. yrs. He was the sufferer, I judge, in 1676 and 7, on
the voyage from Boston to N. H. cast away on a desolate isl. in the little
vessel with Ephraim How, near Cape Sable, relation of wh. in Mather's
best manner, may be read in Magn. VI. appropr. call. Thaumaturgus, c. 1.
Of his inv. of Â~1638 the date is 26 Feb. 1678. The larger part his sis.
had, to hr. John (prob. then in Eng.) the beq. was only Â~20, and John's
s. Nicholas had Â~100, and ano. s. had Â~40, and Robert, Â~150.  After
Mrs. Coster d. 5 Apr. 1691, Robert, th~ next of kin, resist. pro. of her

with no success. ROBERT, New Haven, prob. neph. tho. Dodd calls him

Bond, writing his name Agar, found not w. or ch. but prob. he rem. to

adm. freem. of Mass. 18 May 1631, when the Seer. gave the name Agar;

1639; beside elder ch. Joseph, and Abigail, wh. bec. w. of Joseph Kibben, or Kibby; and he d. 1654. His will of 31 May, pro. Nov. in that

AUGUSTINE, JOHN, Reading 1677, had come from the Isle of Jersey,

nobody informs us, at wh. of the Univ. he was bred, or of wh. parish he
had taught.  Hubbard, 200, may not be taken for authority as to his
coming in the Angel Gabriel (if so he meant to be understood), for he was
arr. at Boston the day bef. the Angel Gabriel weighed her anchor below
Bristol. Thacher, as in the rec. bef. cited, was by our Gen. Ct. made

by seniority, or by date of ordin. (both being min. John of Truro, the
first there, ord. Nov. 1711, and.Joseph, also the first of Norton, ord. 26

(wh. d. the foll. yr.) relative to the ancestry of this Nathaniel, at wh. was

equally to the Barnstable fam. tho. it is less prob. NATHANIEL, Barnstable, s. of the first Nathaniel, m. 27 Mar. 1673, Sarah, d. of Gov. Hinckley, had Nathaniel, b. 9 Sept. 1674; Mary, 9 Oct. 1677; Eliz. 11 Apr.

1641; and d. 1653, leav. wid. Rebecca, d. it is said, of Thomas Potter of
Coventry, wh. had been mayor of that borough. They had liv. in Dublin,
and, on the outbreak of the Irish rebellion, she was sent over here, says
tradit. and her h. foll. soon; but her hr. Humphrey P. and other relat.
perish, in the massacre. Some community of origin may be, perhaps,
traced to this tradit. and to that of Michael; yet the flight from the rebellion would seem more natural in that early day to be direct. to Eng.
Felt says, William was freem. after 1643; but the evidence is not seen.
In 1834 Farmer found the gr. of this name to be seven at Yale, four at
Harv. and four at other N. E. coll. the earliest of wh. Jacob, H. C. 1731,

Robert, had, as Morse supposes, Dorothy, wh. m. Ebenezer Wood, and, it
may be, more; yet this seems very loose, without dates. JAMES, Portsmouth, R. I. among freem. in 1655, rem. to the other side of Narraganset
Bay. See Babcock, and observe, that the strange delusion of Hinman a.

Ireland the wounds to his constitut. " wh. could never be recover." All

freem. 3 Mar. 1636, rep. 1636 and 8, rem. to Scituate, there was ord.
1660, third min. of the first ch. and was of such good temper as to reconcile the two chhs. wh. had quarrel, for thirty yrs. Mather, with his
habitual carelessness, says, in the Magn. III. 219, "he had but a private
educat." taking occasion to utter one of his brilliant clauses; yet I found
at St. John's Coll. Cambr. that he had his A. B. 1631-2, and A. M. 1635.
A short time he stopped at Roxbury. His w. that prob. was mo. of all
his ch. d. 1661, and he next yr. took ano. of wh. the bapt. name Grace
only is kn. and d. 22 Aug. 1678, aged 67. Her he made Extrix. of his
will, in wh. he names six ch. Samuel, Nicholas, Eliz. Sarah, Deborah,
and Mary. All the ds. were m. Mary, 26 Feb. 1662, to Stephen Vinal;
Eliz. m. 1664 to John Vinal; Sarah m. 1671, Josiah Litchfield; and
Deborah m. 1678, Israel Chittenden. Deane, 181-3. NICHOLAS, Marblehead, wh. Willis, I. 135, says m. Eliz. d. of George Bartlett of Scarborough, may have been s. of the preced. but we want the illumin. of

found a good result, and such was his; yet more import. are the questions of his b. and of his coming. Differing in opin. from a disting.
descend. (Hinman in Geneal. Reg. VII. 376,) because he calls him "a
Scotch gent. from Ayr. as early as 1653," I ought to offer reasons. H.
contrary to the common error, that is of assum. too early a yr. for the
arr. of an ancest. on our shore, takes a date that would afford currency

to a suspicion of his being one of the melancholy exiles from the triumph
of the civ. war. Surely he was here pretty early in 1651, prob. a yr.
or two bef. as otherwise he would hardly have gain. Hollard's d. so early.
A Scot we may easily believe he was, one of the founders, we kn. of the
Charit. Soc. of that nation, wh. with the ever active spirit of nationality
begun in Boston 1657, then compos. of twenty-seven mem. of whose names
his is tenth. No sufferer in the cause of Charles Stuart can be supposed
so early to have acquir. social position and property to contribute to "the
box." See Drake's Boston, 455. A cooper was more likely, two hundred
yrs. ago, to have been bred at Glasgow than its neighboring little vill. of
Ayr; and one of those tradesmen, whose motto was" let Glasgow flourish,"
would hardly be call. gent. of A. Often the name appears Bellantine,
sometimes Ballentyre.

of William Brown, and Richard Wells in the same list are seen, both,
also, found at Salisbury. But those surnames are so frequent on both
sides of the ocean, that the argument must not be pressed too far. Some
persons might, at that time, think it easy to go from one part of America
to another; butmost of those for Virginia were not puritans, and all wh.
would come to New Eng. especially from London, easily gained direct,
instead of circuitous passage. Of this name, includ. those spelt without e,

BATT, * CHRISTOPHER, Newbury, tanner, came from the city of Salisbury, Co. Wilts, in the Bevis, emb. at Southampton, 1638, aged 37, with
w. Ann, 32; sis. Dorothy, 20; and five ch. under 10 yrs. freem. 13 Mar.
1639, rem. to Salisbury, of wh. he was rep. 1640, 1, 3, and 50, remin. to
Boston, and there was casu. k. 10 Aug. 1661 by a s. firing at a mark in
the orchard. His wid. made her will 14 Mar. 1679, call. hers. 76. We
kn. not the names of those ch. he brot. from Eng. but one was prob.
Thomas, for he carr. on the business of his f. at B. Eight or more were
b. in this country, for Coffin ment. thirteen, yet gives dates of only three,
John, b. at S. 4 Mar. 1641; Paul, and Barnabas, tw. 18 Feb. 1643.
Others (part b. in Eng.) were Christopher, Ann, Samuel, Jane, Sarah,
Abigail, Timothy, Ebenezer, and Eliz. This last d. 6 July 1652, perhaps
young; Ann m. 12 June 1657, Edmund Angier; Jane m. 3 Apr. 1661,
Dr. Peter Toppan, and may therefore be supposed to have been b. on our
side of the water, while the other side must be thot. birthplace of Ann,
as she was sec. w. of Angler. Christopher was of Dover in 1662; Paul
was a glazier, and Timothy a tailor, both freem. 1673, at Boston, and both
prob. certain one of them interest, in the tannery; and of Samuel it is
said that he was a min. in Eng. and infer, that he never came back to
this Id. if he was, as is prob. b. here. NICHOLAS, Newbury, perhaps hr.
of the preced. came in the James from Southampton, with w. Lucy, arr.
at Boston 3 June 1635, is call. in the ship's clearance, "of the Devizes,
linen weaver," had Sarah, b. 12 June 1640, and two more ds. He d. 6

Jan. 1693; Sarah, 20 Oct. 1698; and Abigail, 11 Dec. 1699. ROBERT,
Boston, d. 23 Dec. 1658, perhaps was only trans. visit. and if not, I can
tell no more, but that in Dearborn's book, call. Boston Notions, p. 44, he
is call. freem. 1657, when no such name appears, nor even any bapt. name
of Robert in that yr. THOMAS, Dedham 1642, m. 5 Sept. 1648, Mary,

Feb. 1706, call. "the aged." In the will of their gr.f. Fisher, of wh. Battle
was an overseer, most of the ch. are ment. Mary m. 20 Mar. 1677, John

Whiting, that d. early, all ment. in his will. For sec. w. he had Joanna,
d. of Capt. Thomas Willet, wid. of Rev. Peter Prudden of Milford. His
will, made 16 Nov. 1694, pro. 12 Mar. foll. instructs us as to these ws.
and his ch. wh. were all by the first. As early as 1640 he had been

Mather (whence a presumpt. arises, that he was from Dorchester), wh.
may be read in the Magnalia of the gr.s. cap. 20 of III. or p. 131.
But the dignity of the subject, the value of the poetry, or even his
serv. in the ch. was less operative, I suppose, in draw. this compliment to Bishop, than the pun on his name, for he is made, in that
immortal work, to sign, J. Episcopius. JOHN, Guilford 1639, had w.

sold here (of whose recept. here Cotton wrote to the Ld. General Cromwell in that curious letter, preserv. in the invalu. vol. call. Hutch. Coll.),

Perhaps he liv. some yrs. in Boston, a. 1663; and d. there early in 1689,
and from his will of 10 Jan. in that yr. that gives to w. and to his brs.

he left none. Yet he had Hannah, b. 16 Jan. 1659, wh. prob. d. young,

d. 19 Apr. 1689, very young. By sec. w. Hannah he had Hannah, b.
8 Sept. 1693; Eliz. 21 Feb. 1696; John, again, 23 Apr. 1698; and
Josiah, 11 Mar. 1700. No full report of the m. of either w. is within

yrs. liv. here, for he speaks of prop. in Eng. as well as in N. E. wh. he

William, wh. had been press. 1675, for a soldier in Philip's war, and
enroll. in Moseley's comp. and prob. d. of the hardships of the Narragansett serv. are nam. in his will of 23 June 1703. From this we learn
all the surnames of h's of his ds. Ann, m. 18 Dec. 1676, Thomas Gilbert, the only one of wh. I learn the date or bapt. name; however
strange such ignorance may appear. The others are call. Mary Willis,
Experience Carver, and Mehitable Briggs. He was rep. for M. sev.

miscalls him Blackwell. In the Magn. III. 94, c. 7, Mather exults at
his chance for a pun; Trumbull tells something; and the ch. rec. of Roxbury, a little; but we rejoice in his will of 16 Mar. 1665, as copious in
informat. One d. and five s. Mary, James, Samuel, Benjamin, John,
and Deliverance are ment. in it; and from later report the last was a
wild youth, wh. gave his mo. much disquiet. His Latin bks. he would
give to Joshua Atwater, s. of his d. Mary, if he were educ. for the min.
tho. first intend, for s. Benjamin, wh. first chose ano. way of life; yet,
in the end, the gr.s. refus. the legacy, and Benjamin took to learn.
* BENJAMIN, Malden, youngest s. of the preced. after gr. at coll. 1663,

him, never m. He had early rem. to Duxbury, and there, under the
same roof with Love, d. 16 Apr. 1643, after one day's illness. His inv.
has proof in the titles of the books of honora. regard for letters. See
Geneal. Reg. IV. 174. Bradford's Memoir of him is in Young's Chron.
of the Pilgr. 461. See, also, Davis's Morton; Hunter's First Colonists
of N. E., of wh. the best impres. is in 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 52; and
Shurtleff's Recollect. of the Pilgr. in Russell's Guide to Plymouth. It
may be useful to mark the error of so valua. an auth. as Baylies, in II.
6, where he gives to our most glorious of the Mayflower's passeng. three
ch. Lucretia, Mary, and William, and is even so rash as to say, two of
them were b. in America. Yet if b. on our side of the water, he ought
to have presum. they could not, from his age, be ch. of the Elder. The
first was w. others, ch. of Jonathan. WILLIAM, Duxbury, s. of Jonathan,
was prob. b. at Leyden, went in Aug. 1645, under serg. Nash, as
part of the forty men to be furnish, by this smallest Col. to repress the
peril from the Narragansets, and encourage the friendsh. of Uncas [see
Bradford's Hist. 431-6], and serv. in that exped. 17 days, was count.
among the freem. in 1643, and prob. went with his f. to New London.
* WILLIAM, Duxbury, s. of Love, m. 2 Jan. 1673, Lydia, d. of George
Partridge, and d. 3 Nov. 1723. Whether he had ch. is not kn. but he
was in good esteem, and was rep. 1675. WRESTLING, Plymouth,
youngest s. of the gr. Elder, b. prob. at Leyden, in Holland, came with

his f. in the Mayflower, d. " a young man unm." bef. his f. says Gov. Bradford, but Caulkins, in Hist. of Norwich, 115, refers to an idle tradit. that
makes him ancest. of Sir Christopher Brewster of our days. Sir
Christopher perhaps may descend from a gr.s. of the Elder, and youngest
s. of Love, wh. rec. this name, prob. sev. yrs. after d. of his uncle. In
a very agreea. Memoir of the "Life and Time of Elder Brewster," by
Rev. Ashbel Steele, Phila. 1857, the author too easi. assum. that this s.
of the great Elder was of Portsmouth 1629, and built up his case on
three piles of fictitious paper: The first, a forged deed of 6 Dec. 1629
(wh. fell on Sunday), of ld. in Portsmouth, that was not so call. bef.
May 1653, but always Strawberry Bank, with prob. false grantor and
witnesses, and writ. in language of one hundred and fifty yrs. later use;
next, a fabricat. fam. rec. whereby it is shown, that Wrestling B. was m.
1630 to E. S. had s. John, b. 20 Jan. 1631, and daur. 3 May 1636,
nam. Love Lucretia!!! and the w. d. in childbed, thirty-eight yrs. after
(perhaps the ch. had it liv. would have seem. to require double name,
and so been bapt. Mephistophiles Beelzebub); that E. S. the w. is call.
d. of Augustine Story, one of the illustrious grantees in the more
ambitious forgery of the Wheelwright deed of all New Hampsh. from
the Ind. made also on Sunday in an earlier mo. of the same yr. and little
more than eight yrs. after Wrestling came over the Atlantic, with his f.;
and the third fountain of evidence is from many, near. all spurious, accounts of business transactions, wh. by patient investigat. are found to
be almost wholly fanciful. In his new Ed. Mr. Steele will, no doubt,
correct those childish fictions of the last century. WRESTLING, Duxbury, br. of Nathaniel of the same, had, with his br. William, gr. of lds.
(in honor of the rever. serv. of their gr.f. dec.) at Swanzey, provid. they
went there to liv.; but I presume neither of them accept. the favor, as
they cont. at D. By w. Mary he had sev. ch. and d. 1 Jan. 1697. He
was constable in 1680, and serv. on jury in 1682 and 4. Ten of this

all wh. was paid here in 1658 and 9. Large pedigree from the time of
Henry VII. prepar. by Somerby, is giv. by Dr. Bond. This Henry was
for many yrs. call. jr. because HENRY, a poor man of the same name,
liv. at W. was always spok. of as senior, as he might well be, without

nuncup. will of a fellow-passeng. dying on the ocean; was sett. at the
Bapt. ch. 1642 after Roger Williams. It has been thot. by some, that
he was earlier on our side of the water, and that imperfect rec. proves it,
on p. 14 'of the Vol. I. of Col. Rec. of R. I. as to his incorp. in town
fellowsh. with others at Providence, wh. bears date 20 Aug. without a yr.
Now the supplying of the numerals for the yr. can admit those wh. the
transcriber used, 1637, by no means; for that day was Sunday, when no
civil compact could have been enter. into, and bef. that day in the former
yr. the place was kn. as Moshasuck, prob. the sec. use of the designat. of
the mod. city being in the foll. mo. at the bapt. of the s. of Roger Williams, Providence, late in Sept. 1638. Earlier than Aug. 1638 his name,
I suppose, will not be found. He brot. w. Eliz. and s. John, aged a. 8,yrs. prob. other 'ch. for we kn. not the b. of any of his five s. The other

1724, aged 78. Of this name (some with final e, more without it), it
seems impossib. to unravel the whole line and lines. It will be seen,
that I have giv. at least, a fair sample. Thirty-six of the name had, in
1834, been gr. at Harv. alone, and Mr. Farmer says fifty-nine others at
the various coll. of N. E. N. J. and Union of N. York. Of these, eleven
had been clerg. from H. C. and the same number from the others.

strong; and the crim. proceed. of Cts. under Gorges' governm. for adultery and other charges, make it plain that N. E. was not the right place

will of 5 Mar. of the same yr. in Geneal. Reg. X. 270, brot. out by the
exempl. dilig. of Mr. Trask. Both have refresh. evid. of his dread
of Quakers. Yet a scruple is felt whether that will of Mar. were

triumph over the devil in the enforc. silence of his victim by the

have declin. the advantage; and we can hardly doubt, that the fact of
the other sufferer being a min. and s. of the coll. in wh. the f. of M. then

preserv. that the mo. of these ch. "was laid out for d. in Eng. put into
the coffin, but signs of life appear. at her funer. she recov. came to N. E.
sett. at S. and here had nineteen ch." What degr. of credit may be
yield. to this acco. quot. from Dr. Stiles, wh. was very benign. in hear.
such chronicles, may well be ask. but the answer will prob. depend on
the spirit. educat. and habits of the respond. HENRY, Northampton, s.

Dec. 1685; and Eliz. 2 May 1687, both mo. and ch. d. in few days. He

old, or thereabouts, on giv. evidence Mar. 1661; for one, call. of Lynn,

but whose d. or wid. she was, is unkn. WILLIAM, Charlestown, one of
capt. Moseley's comp. k. 19 Dec. 1675, in the gr. Narraganset fight.
From the diverse spell, of this man's name, in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 242,
and Drake's Hist. of Boston, 414, where it is giv. Bourle, some puzzle
is rais. but whichever be correct, we kn. that Charlestown had but a
single William on the roster for that campaign, and either form is not
great pervers. Of this name, Farmer counts at N. E. and Union, and
N. J. coll. fifteen gr. in 1834.
BURTON, BONIFACE, Lynn 1630, freem. 6 May 1635, d. 13 June
1669, "being a hundred and fifteen yrs. old," says John Hull's Diary,
print, in the Transaet. of the Amer. Antiq. Soc. III. 229, yet liable to a
false construct. of the date. Of course, we doubt, some exaggera. is
here; and in one of Sewall's interleav. Almanacs, that for 1673, two
yrs. are deduct. as in Hutch. I. 269. Nearer to contempo. evid. must be
the Diary, yet his s.-in-law overcame his usual reverence for "father
Hull," and he would not (with his habitual fondness for finding cases of

longev.) have subtract. a week without appar. authority. Had he boldly
struck off a dozen more yrs. skeptics would agree or would rejoice with
him. Yet B. was the oldest man, says Lewis, fondly, wh. ever liv. in
Lynn. This kindly affect. writer, in a generat. nearer to his own, enjoy.
the finding of a black woman of equal age in the same happy town.
Well stricken in yrs. at his com. over, must Burton seem, and prob. he
brdt. some fain. or at least had little progeny here; and careful scrutiny
proves, in many such instances, that peop. past mid. life, after reach.
our shores, grew old very fast. BONIFACE, Boston, perhaps s. perhaps
gr.s. of the preced. d. 1667, from whose will, nam. only w. Frances, we
infer, that he left no ch. and kn. that he gave nothing to the centenary,
but that his largest bequest was ten shillings to Increase Mather. It is
possib. that the testator was that very aged Lynn man, and the only one
of so uncom. name. EDWARD, Charlestown 1633, rem. prob. to Hingham, there had gr. of ld. 1647, and d. bef. 1675, when convey, of it was
giv. by his ch. of wh. I see no more. JOHN, Salem, a tanner, from
1637 to 1684, when he d. hav. been worried for a Quaker, 1659, 60,
and 1. See Felt. RICHARD, Charlestown, was exempt. in Oct. 1675,
as one of the ferrymen, from milit. impressm. STEPHEN, Swanzey
1683, m. 4 Sept. 1684, Eliz. only d. of Gov. Josiah Winslow, and
strange is it, that we kn. so little of him. Prob. he was s. of Thomas,
had for first w. Abigail, d. of Gov. William Brenton of R. I. and
in 1680 he join. with John Walley, Nathaniel Byfield, and Nathaniel
Oliver, men of large est. and distinct, in purch. the Mount Hope est. seat
of the gr. Sachem, Philip, from the Col. of Plymouth, assum. as fruit of
their conq. and sett. Bristol. Next yr. he was made constable at Boston, with Paul Dudley, Adam Winthrop, Edward Raynsford, and Giles
Dyer. THOMAS, Hingham 1640, min. Margaret, d. of John Otis, had
Hannah, bapt. 30 May 1641; Phebe, 12 May 1644; Ruth, Aug. 1646,
d. next yr. and Sarah, 13 May 1649; but it is said, that his d. Martha

Eng. He was one of the gr. disturbers of our political state, as in
Winth. Hist. II. 262, 302, may be read. Very curious manifesto of our
Gen. Ct. contain, in the glorious Coll. of Hutch. 212, alludes to him as
"an old grocer of London," and his perversity is imput. to "his age and
some other infirmities." This hardly consists with the dignity of a legislature; and had the docum. been prepar. by the Assist. they might have
ascrib. his heretical pravity in so factious desire of religious liberty to
long resid. at Newport after 1639. WILLIAM, Warwick, m. Ann, or
Hannah, d. of John Wicks, had Susanna, wh. m. 11 Dec. 1684, sec.

Saybrook next yr. prob. by the Pequots, as minute. relat. in Winth. I.

print. 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 279, that ano. Samuel B. of Groton, a.
seventy yrs. later, fell into the hds. of the Ind. but far more strange is

Niles, with wild anachronism, give "the godly young man" k. by the
Pequot, 1636, the name of him, wh. two or three generat. later, was tak.

wonder at such an error, that can mislead no carefull reader, wh. will

1634; and Daniel, 22 Feb. 1635; was of Ipswich 1639, and after at
Haverhill, where at gr. age, he d. 1672. Rev. Thomas Cobbet says, he
came in 1628, of course with Endicott to Salem. But Mr. Felt perhaps
confus. him with Robert. MATTHIAS, Haverhill, perhaps gr.s. of the
preced. took o. of alleg. 28 Nov. 1677. PETER, New London, had
Peter, b. 1688; Mary, 1689; Matthias, 1692; and d. Eliphal, 1694.
ROBERT, Salem, freem. 1642, m. Abigail, d. of wid. Alice Vermaes, had
Samuel, bapt. 27 May of that yr.; Abigail, 7 Jan. 1644; Hannah, 21
Dec. 1645, a. five days old; Sarah, 16 Jan. 1648, a. six days old; and
Samuel, again, 24 Feb. 1650, a. nine days old. But the three last were
b. and bapt. at Boston, where he was a merch. in large business, constable 1650, and d. next yr. in early manhood. His will of 9 Jan. was
pro. 3 weeks after, and his wid. m. in Apr. foil. Edward Hutchinson, jr.

BUTTRICK, SAMUEL, Concord, s. of William, was freem. 1679, and
perhaps the same wh. serv. in Appleton's comp. as from Cambridge, was
wound. in the gr. swamp fight, 19 Dec. 1675, and on the roll wrote his
name Bouterick. WILLIAM, Concord, came, prob. in the Susan and
Ellen 1635, aged 18, and he may have come, as Shattuck thot. with
Flint, the chief planter of C. as we kn. not what sh. F. came in; yet
the est. of F. was so large, that he must have been liable as a subsidy
man, so under the Privy council's order not permit. to emb. without
special license for the purpose, and to him, as a favorer of puritans, such
license might have been refus. B. m. 1646, Sarah Bateman, wh. d.

1657, wh. d. in few days; Joseph, 29 Dec. 1657; and Sarah. I suppose
that in Concord rec. when it tells the b. of Mary, 19 Sept. 1648, and d.
1 Nov. foll. and calls her d. of William and Mary, it is a blunder. He
was freem. 1647, took sec. w. 1667, Jane Goodenow, possib. wid. of

Oct. 1654, unless this be mistak. for Robert, an opin. wh. may be suppos.
to have influenc. the mak. of Index to Trumbull's Col. Rec. I. since it does
not include the pages, where the name of Thomas, in the text, appears
at the Gen. Ct. as deput. and does include those where Robert's name
appears at the Ct. in Sept. 1652 and Sept. 1654. Without much confidence in the conject. I incline to think Thomas entit. to his seat, tho. no
more is heard of him. THOMAs, Charlestown, serv. short time in
Turner's comp. as a soldier, Mar. 1676, by w. Sarah had Sarah; Eliz.
both bapt. 22 Aug. 1680; Mercy, 22 May 1681; Thomas, 22 Apr.

1656, among the freem. 1669, d. 18 Dec. 1699. From his will we get
the names of ch. John, William, Samuel, Jeremiah, Joseph, Sarah, and
Rebecca; but little can be learn, as to any of the s. and of the ds. nothing. It is said that Jeremiah was b. 1677; and we kn. that he, with
William and Samuel, resid. at N. L. that Joseph went to Norwich, and
that John, the oldest, was liv. at Colchester in May 1748, when it was
affirm. "he will be 95 yrs. old next Nov." so that it would be hazardous
to deny, that he was b. 1653. In 1834 Farmer found the gr. at Yale
fourteen, at Harv. and Dart. four ea. and two at other N. E. coll.
CHAPPELL, CALEB, Lebanon, was youngest s. of George; and Sedgwick's Hist. of Sharon says, that the name in that town is deriv, from
him. GEORGE, Wethersfield, came in the Christian 1635, aged 20,
from London, and two yrs. later is found apprent. to learn the trade of
carpenter with Francis Stiles of Windsor, wh. had come in the same
ship, and, perhaps, paid for his transporta. Fifteen yrs. after he rem. to
New London with w. Margery and ch. Mary; Rachel; John; and
George, b. 5 Mar. 1654; and there had Eliz. 30 Aug. 1656; Esther, 15
Apr. 1662; Sarah, 14 Feb. 1666; Nathaniel, 21 May 1668; and
Caleb, 7 Oct. 1671. He d. 1709, in his will speaks of aged w. Margery,
commit. to s. Caleb, and gr.s. Comfort; but wh. was f. of this Comfort is
not told. Mary m. 19 Jan. 1665, John Daniels; Rachel m. a. 1667,
Thomas Crocker. JOHN, eldest s. of the preced. was, perhaps, a soldier
in Turner's comp. 1676, may have been of Lyme 1678, and certain, was
of Flushing, L. I. 1704. NATHANIEL, Boston 1634, was in the employm.
of Atherton Hough, adm. freem. 22 May 1639. He may have been br.

the opposite side of the riv. but the officer took his prison, to lodge at
Providence, on his way to Boston, thus furnish. opportun. for rescue by

concerted plan of Gov. Endicott, to affront the adjoin, humble Col. by

1613, A. MI. 1617; B. D. 1624. Much reputa. at the Univ. he gain.
by Latin verses of lamenta. on d. 1619, of Queen Ann, and by Greek and
Latin on d. of her h. James, and access. of Charles, 1625, as in Cantab.
Dolor et Solamen, so that he was chos. profess. for one, if not two chairs.
But in cleric, life he was early at Marston St. Lawrence, and had the
vicarage of Ware in his native shire, 1627-34, and from that valua. liv.
for non-conform. in non-essentials he was fore. by Archbp. Laud. In
search of comforta. and secure worship he came to N. E. arr. in Dec.
1637, at Plymouth, there preach. as aid to Reyner, some time, but in
1641 was call. to S. where above twelve yrs. he min. yet with freq.
troubles; and was prepar. to go home for partak. the puritan triumph in
Eng. when he was chos. head of the Coll. at Cambridge, on dismiss. in
1654, of Dunster, its first Presid. In this post he d. 19 Feb. 1672, aged
79 yrs. and less prob. than 4 mos. but Mather, mistak. the inscript. on
his tomb, under his eye, of 80th for 82d yr. of his age, to make his error
consistent, dares to affirm in Magn. III. 134, that he was b. in 1589,
instead of 1592, and on p. 140 boldly asserts, that he d. (giv. the right
time), "in the eighty-second yr. of his age."  Explanat. of his blunder is
easi. found. In Roman numerals the day and yr. of his dec. XiX Feb.
MDCLXXI in our Arabic numbers 1671 et. LXXX. seems plain eno. but the careII                     2
less author fore. the II out of place, and add. them to the later number.
Yet Green's Almanac of 1673 had said, "in his 80th yr." and hardly a
min. in the country could have fail. to say, that the first Presid. wh. d.
in office, was little over 79 yrs. old. The author (Rev. W. C. Fowler) of
the elaborate life of Chauncy, his ancest. and descend. in Geneal. Reg.
X. 251, has quot. two paragr. from the Magnalia, suppressing the word
"second" after eighty, whereby Mather seems to be compel, to speak
the truth. " Fourscore years of age despatched it not," is the sweet
commenda. of Mather for his labors; and contempt for the chronology
should not, perhaps, be so express. especial, as the earlier author foll.
his natural weakness, to show his knowl. of the value of a man, in
shekels, above the age of sixty, only 15, but younger, 50 shekels, makes
Chauncy's worth "at 80 contin. much what as it was when he was under
60." In his valua. Biogr. Dict. Ed. 1857, Dr. Allen had more scrupulously foll. the error of the Magn. We see, in the Biogr. Britannica,

remin. to Warwick, was town serj. 1651, freem. there 1655, and prob. d.

Mercy, 25 July 1654, ano. was Mary, 1657; at least one must have
been m. and had more than one ch. to justify the extr. boast for old
Francis to the letter, that in 1650 he "hath seen his children's childr.
have childr." Jane, the sis. of John, had done her part for the blessing,
I presume; and his d. Sarah i. 20 Nov. 1652, Arthur Hathaway; and
Eliz. m. 28 Nov. 1661, Daniel Wilcox. Aut in this branch the exult.
phrase of Bradford fails of truth. He was deac. but disagreed with
Reyner; rem. and was min. of Dartmouth 1676, of wh. he was one
of the first purch. and rep. 1673; and was liv. 1694, the oldest
surv. perhaps, of the male passeng. in the Mayflower. JOHN, Salem

yrs. old, and John jr. prob. his s. was 26, and other s. Joseph and
Thomas, beside sev. ds. and his will was record. 1691. As early as
1647 he was made one of two "water bailies" of the Col. if there be no
mistake. One JOHN, a young man, Winth. II. 97, says, was k. by
accid. at Boston, 23 June 1643; and a JOHN was at Windsor 1644.
JOHN, Portsmouth, R. I. s. of Thomas of the same, freem. 1678, was
"licensed" 1688, tho. for what purpose I see not. He may have been
one of the chief men at Tiverton or Dartmouth 1686; then having a fam.
there. JOHN, of Boston, was of the vestry of King's Chapel 1689; and
a JOHN, a soldier in the comp. of Moseley, Dec. 1675, and again in
Philip's war, 1676, at Hadley; may have been of Gloucester, m. 2 Feb.

went home. JOSEPH, Cambridge, s. of George of the same, H. C.
1660 or 61, remarkab. as it seems that so early in the exist. of the coll.
ea. yr. should be entit. to one of this name, perhaps it may seem that the
other was s. of Richard. But it is more strange that of neither is the

A letter to his wid. at Plymouth by his neph. Cotton Mather, of 23 Oct.
foll. ment. arr. of news that "the horrible plague of Barbados was brot,
into" C. " by an infected vessel," that a. the end of Sept. it had been there
little above a fortnight, yet in this little time "had made an incredible
destruct." " many above an hundred were dead," and that his friends
wrote "that all the ministers in C. were dead." Whether in this
incredible loss, all the ministers were one, or two, beside Cotton, is not
told; but in so small a city, I judge the smaller number most worthy of
belief. Mather never cultivat. precision or sobriety of narrat. and his
word must seldom be tak. as exact truth. No exagger. of the suffer.
in the gr. mart of Mediterranean commerce, by the terrible plague of
1720, was attempt. when history told how M. de Belsance stood in his
post of duty, and outliv. the peril more than thirty-five yrs. tho. our
great ethical poet immortaliz. the deed, without nam. the prelate:

ROBERT, Plymouth, one of the most active promot. of the migrat. from

highly appropr. subject of self-denial. He was constant in serv. at
London for the emigr. aid in Dec. 1624 spoke of his hope of com. in
the next season; Nbut Gov. Bradford notes, that he was d. bef. receipt of
his answer from Plymouth of June 1625; and his fam. came soon aft. to

tradit. that they, "William and Eliz. emigra. from Scotland a. that time, i. e. 1667 -
that he was a seafar. man, and that he d. soon aft. land. in Mass..that Eliz. his wid.
m. a man by the name of Baldwin, and sett. in Woburn." The only William in
Boston, wh. had near those days w. Eliz. had been here, I think, at least thirteen yrs.
and to me it seems very improb. that he came from Scotland bef. 1655. I may not
disbelieve, that he d. soon aft. b. of the only s. but fourth ch, yet much do I doubt the
story of wid.'s m. to a Baldwin of Woburn, for the only man at W. of that surname

inconsist. with her being wid. of Boston William Brown.
