This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

JANUARY, 1913
BUFUS GEORGE FREDERICK CANDAGE
B7 Edwabd Wild Baksr, A.B., of Brookline, Haas.
RuFUB (teOBOE Fbbdebick Candaoe, a resident member of
the New England Historic Genealogical Society from ISTB, died
at the home of his daughter in Gleasondale, in the town of Stow,
Mass., 19 June 1912, at the age of 85 years and 10 months. He
was bom at Blue Hill, Hancock County, Me., 28 July 1826, the
son of Samuel Boundy and Phebc Ware (Parker) Candage.
The name Candage was originally written Cavendish, which in
the Upse of years became Candish and Candage. All of this name
are believed to be descendants of the early Cavendishes, of good old
English blood. Among the early settlers of Massachusetts was
John CSandage, or Candish, a shipwright and a landowner at Charles-
town about 1670, and the name in all three forms is found in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in records pertaining to several
Essex County towns.
In 1766 James Candage and his wife Elizabeth, who are said to
have come from Beverly, Mass., took up their residence at Blue Hill,
Me., where white men had formed a permanent settlement only a
few years earlier. They had three sons and three daughters, of
whom all except the youngest daughter were bom before the parents
migrated to Blue Hill. Rev. Jonathan Fisher, the first settled
minister at Blue Hill, wrote in his record about this James Can-
dage: **His name was originally spelled Cavendish, but custom
has changed it to Candage ; he was one of the first settlers." James
Candage died in 1788, his widow surviving until 1809. Their eld-
est child, James Candage, Jr., who was bom i) May 1753 and died
12 January 1819, married, 13 April 1775, Hannah Roundy, daugh-
ter of John and Elizabeth (Rea) Roundy, who was bom at Beverly
3 August 1753 and lived to be over 97 years of age, dying 12 March
1851. John Roundy, together with Joseph Wood of Beverly, had
founded the settlement in what is now the town of Blue 1 1 ill, 7 April
1702. To James, Jr., and Hannah (Roundy) Candage eight chil-
dren were bom. Their third child, Samuel Roundy, born 15 »January
17^1, married, 29 Febmary 181G, the widow Phcbe Ware (Parker)
VOL. LXVII. 1
• *
.J:f^fus George Frederick Candage [Jan.
•• •
• •
Walker,.MV4io was bom 29 November 1787, daughter of Simeon and
Mary •(J^ln'tins) Parker. Her grandfather, Hon. Oliver Parker of
Cai^injj; "Me., bom at Worcester, Mass., about 1738, was from
•||bout 1800 to 1815 a judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Samuel
. \^ E{>undy and Phebe Ware (Parker) Candage were the parents of
. •..'•'•/twelve children. Two sons and three daughters died in infancy,
•-;••.*'* but seven sons grew to manhood and became shipmasters in the
merchant service. The father died 23 December 1852, and the
mother 3 October 1850.
Rufus George Frederick Candage was the seventh child and the
sixth son in this family, and outlived his last surviving brother by a
third of a century. His boyhood was spent on his father's farm,
where his opportunities for education were limited to a few months'
schooling in summer and winter and two terms in the Blue Hill
Academy. At the age of eighteen he followed the example of his
father and older brothers by taking up a seafaring life, sailing at
first in vessels engaged in the coasting trade and later going on voy-
ages to the West Indies and to European ports. When only twenty-
four years old, he became master of the brig Equator^ built for him
by citizens of Blue Hill, and sailed in her from Boston to Valpa-
raiso, Chile, his first " long " voyage. Later he was master of the
ship Jamestown of New York and of the ships Electric Spark and
National Eagle of Boston. During his twenty-three years of life
as a sailor he doubled Cape Horn thirteen times, and sailed around
the world three times, journeying in all more than 300,000 miles
along the pathways of the sea. In 1867 he retired, and settled in
Brookline, Mass., which continued to be his legal residence even
after liis removal to Gleasondale in 1909.
Capt. Candage was connected with many fraternal, business, his-
torical, and literary organizations, and held various positions of
honor and trust. He was prominent in Masonic circles, and in the
Boston Marine Society, which he joined in 1867, he held in succession
the positions of secretary, vice-president, and president, and was a
member of the board of trustees. In 1868 he was appointed marine
inspector for the Record of American and Foreign Shipping, and in
the same year he was appointed marine inspector by the Boston
Board of Marine Underwriters, holding that oflSce for ten years.
In December 1882 he was appointed by the Bureau Veritas of Paris
surveyor for the district of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He
was treasurer and, in 1873, president of the Boston Fire Brick and
Clay Retort Manufacturing Company, and also, in 1881, president
of the Boston Terra Cotta Company and of the Massachusetts Safety
Fund Association. For seven years he was a director of the Frank-
lin Fire Insurance Company of Boston, and he was a trustee of the
Home Savings Bank. For twenty years he was to be found almost
daily at his office in the old Merchants' Exchange Building, actively
engaged in insurance and marine affairs.
1913] RufuB Oeorge Frederick Oandage 5
In politics and in all that concerned public improvements and the
general welfare of the community Capt. Candage showed a lively
interest. For eight years he was chairman of the Republican Town
Committee of Brookline, he was a member of the Kepublican State
Central Committee from the second Norfolk district, and he belonged
to several political clubs. Very frequently his fellow-townsmen
called upon him to serve as moderator at the Brookline town-meetings.
In March 1884 he was elected one of the assessors of Brookline,
and served in that capacity for twenty-six years, during sixteen of
which he was chairman of the Board. In 1880-1882 he was one
of the selectmen of Brookline, and in 1882 and 1883 he represented
the town in the Greneral Court, being a member of the Committee
on Harbors and Public Lands as well as of the Committee on Rules.
In 1871 he was elected to the Brookline School Committee for five
years, during three of which he was chairman, and for more than
forty-one years he served as a trustee of the Brookline Public Li-
brary, being also treasurer of that institution between 1880 and 1883.
In historical and genealogical research and in literary work Capt.
Candage took great delight, especially in his later years. He read
much, and enjoyed social gatherings at which discussion of books
found an appropriate place. In the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society he was a member of the Council for three years,
1904, 1905, 1906, and of the Conmiittee on Epitaphs for the four
years 1904-1907. He belonged also to the Bostonian Society, the
Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, the
Banker EQll Monument Association, and the Blue Hill (Me. ) His-
torical Society, and was a corresponding member of the Maine Histor-
ical Socie^. In 1901 he was the principal organizer of the Brook-
line Historical Society, serving as its president for eight years and
then receiving the title of president emeritus. He was also a mem-
ber of the Brookline Thursday Club. He was the author of two
volumes of verse, Gathered Autumn Leaves and More Gathered
Autumn Leaves^ but his historical writings usually appeared in the
publications of the various societies with which he was connected.*
His religious affiliations were with the Baptist Church, and at
various times he held office in that organization.
Capt. Candage's first wife, whom he married in Boston, 1 May
1853, was Elizabeth Augusta, daughter of Elijah, Jr., and Mary
(Richards) Corey of Brookline. She was bom 17 January 1829,
and died 18 November 1871. He married secondly, 22 May 1873,
Ella Maria, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah K. (Hall) White of
Revere, Mass., who survives him. His six children, all by his
second wife, are : George Frederick ; Ella Augusta, wife of Watson
* Capt. Candage contribated to the Bangor Hittorital Magatin^t vol. 4, pp. 129-137
(January, 18S9), a brief genealogy of the Cavendish, Caiulivh, or Candage family, from
which moat of Uie ^nealogical atatementa in this memoir have been taken. This
genealogy was reprmted in pamphlet form at Bangor, Me., in 18S9. See also Bangor
Hisi4friM Maganne, toI. 6, pp. 182-188.
6 Old Boston Families [Jan.
S. Dolliver of Eoxbury ; Phebe Teresa, wife of William L. Bay-
mond of Wayland ; Robert Brooks of Seattle, Wash. ; Sarah HaU,
who died in infancy ; Sarah Caroline, wife of Edward Thompson of
Brookline and Gleasondale.
Capt. Candage was for many years a familiar figure on the streets
of Brookline, particularly in the early morning, when he lingered
on the sidewalk to greet his many friends. His tastes were so va-
ried and his interest in every one so genuine that he touched others
at many points. His life in a metropolitan suburb and his literary
pursuits never banished the bluff but genial greeting of a sea-captain.
Quick and generous with his sympathy, he could be gentle to a
marked degree in dealing with those less fortunate than himself.
His popularity was a natural outcome of his personal qualities, and
his death removed him from a large circle of friends in every walk
of life.
OLD BOSTON FAMILIES
NuMBEB One
THE DE BLOIS FAMILY
Bj Rev. Arthur Wbmtworth Hamilton Eaton, D.C.L., of New York City
The founders of the three American branches of the De Blois
family were Stephen* De Blois, who was bom at Oxford, England,
24 July 1699 (^vide infra j 2), and the two brothers Stephen,' Jr.,
and George* De Blois, who were bom at Oxford in 1735 and 1740
respectively, sons of George,* who was bom at Oxford in 1710.
( Firfe infra 9 3, 6, and 7.) Stephen* lived first in New York,
and then permanently in Boston; Stephen,' Jr., lived finally at
Newport, R. I.; and George,' commonly called "George, Sr.,"
lived first at Salem, Mass., and then at Halifax, Nova Scotia. With
Stephen,' Jr., at Newport, lived also his sister Mary ("Polly"),
who was bom about 1743, and died unmarried at Newport, 11
Dec. 1818, aged 75. In America the name of the family has
almost without exception been spelled either D^blois or De Blois,
though in the earliest mention of Stephen De Blois in the records
of King's Chapel his name is given as Dublois. In the entry which
he made in his Bible, as also in signing as a witness Governor
Biu*net's will and signing his own will, Stephen spelled his name
clearly Deblois, and to this spelling many of his descendants have
adhered. The name of his second son Stephen spelled Lewis, not

family when he came to England spelled his name in the continental
way. The ancient family Bible of Stephen De Blois is a treasured
possession of Dr. Thomas Amory De Blois of Boston.

1. Louis^ DB Bloi8, or Lewis De Blois, of Oxford, England, accord-
ing to De Blois family tradition came to England as a Huguenot refugee
as early as 1688, and was in Eling William's forces at the Battle of the
Boyne in 1690. Beyond this tradition, which has not been verified, nothing
whatever is known of his origin, except that it was undoubtedly French.
Beoords of St. Clement's Parish, Oxford, state that his first wife, Martha,
was buried at Oxford 24 June 1 698, having borne her husband five chil-
dren. The name of the second wife is not known, nor is it known when
she died, but she bore her husband seven children. Louis de Blois was
buried at Oxford in June 1739.

8. Stephbm' De Blois (ZoutV), bom at Oxford 24 July 1699, and
baptized in St. Clement's Parish 21 July 1700, came to New York
in Sept. 1720 in the ship Seahoney commanded by Capt. Philip
Dumaresq, in the retinue of Governor William Burnet. He mar-
ried in New York, 16 Feb. 1721, Ann Furlet, who was also in
the household of Burnet and had come in the same ship with her
future husband. Within the precincts of Fort Greorge at New York,
where Governor Burnet kept his stately court, their three children
were bom. Grovemor Burnet's removal to Massachusetts in July
1728 undoubtedly caused the transfer of the family to Boston,
where Stephen De Blois connected himself, as did his patron the
Governor, with the parish of King's Chapel. The earliest written
record thus far found of Stephen De Blois is his signature as a wit-
ness to the will of Governor Burnet in New York in 1727, and
the next is a vote of the vestry of Eling's Chapel on EUwter Monday,
26 Mar. 1738, << That M' Dublois be Organist for the year ensuing,
at Forty pounds Salary." In the ledger of King's Chapel, also, is
the following entry: "1735 July 2. To M' Step" Dublois, for 1
2u' Sallery to 25th June 10.00.00.'* It was voted, 30 Mar. 1741, by
\ie vestry of the Chapel that " Stephen De Blois, Organist," should
receive "y* Same Sallery as last year, p £50." On 11 Apr. 1748,
^'Steph*^ Deblois, Orgainist," is said to have been paid ''in full
of his year's Sallery now due 35.00.00." (Annals of King's Chapel,
vol. 1, pp. 421, 524, and vol. 2, p. 102.)* The first mention found

of Stephen De Blois in property records is in Mar. 1736, when
he takes a mortgage from Michael Asher, a tobacco and snuff
manufacturer, on property situated at Chambers and Lynde Streets,
including the snuff-mUI and the stock of tobacco and manufactured
snuff which it contains.
From the register of King's Chapel it appears that Mrs. Ann
(Furley) De Blois died 4 July 1762, aged 75, her funeral being
held three days later.
Stephen De Blois's will, dated 10 Aug. 1777 and proved 26 June
1778, mentions his sons Gilbert and Lewis ; his daughter Sarah
Wallis and her husband William Wait Wallis ; the children, William,
Elizabeth, Lewis, Francis, John, and Stephen, of his son Gilbert;
the children, George, Sarah, Lewis, and Gilbert, of his son Lewis ;
his daughter Sarah Wallis's daughter Sarah; and his brother
George in Oxford, and his sister Twy croft, presumably also in
Oxford, both of whom had children. At the time of the making
of his will both his sons were refugees in England, and he
pathetically mentions the improbability of his ever seeing them
again. In their absence he appoints his nephew Stephen De Blois
of Newport, R. I., Mr. John Timmins of Boston, merchant, his
son-in-law William W^ait Wallis, and his daughter Sarah Wallis as
his executors. If his sons, however, return before his estate is set-
tled, he prescribes that they also shall be added tx) the list.* He and
his wife are probably buried under King's Chapel in the De Blob
tomb (tomb No. 11), which was built and owned jointly by his
sons Gilbert and Lewis.

1725, between ^Ye and six o'clock at night, was undoubtedly named
for Gilbert Burnet, the Governor's son. He married in Boston, 17
Feb. 1749, Ann Coffin, fifth child of William and Ann (Holmes),
who was bom 1 5 Dec. 1730. Mrs. De Blois was a sister of Nathaniel
Coffin, father of Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, Bart., and also of Eliza-
beth Coffin, wife of Thomas Amory of Boston. Surviving her hus-
band, she made her will 18 June 1807, and died in Dec. 1808.
Of the apprenticeship of Gilbert De Blois nothing is known, but
in early manhood he became a successful importer of hardware and
other foreign goods, for many years advertising conspicuously in
the Boston newspapers. In 175 G his chief place of business was at
the "Sign of the Crown and Comb," near the prison, in Queen
Street ; then for some years he had his warehouse at the head of
Green's Wharf. In 1764, however, he abandoned the latter stand
for a store at the lower end of King Street, on the south side, " ad-
joining Mr. James Apthorp's." During the smallpox epidemic in
this same year he removed . part of his large stock of hardware,
groceries, and liquors to Weston, where he had " a commodious shop
and store adjoining the house of M^ Josiah Smith, inn holder (on
the great road to Worcester), at the Sign of the Half-Moon, near ^
the Meeting House." {Post Boy and Advertiser^ March 19, 1764.)
In 1773 he had a shop opposite School Street, near the late Rev.
Dr. Sewall's meeting-house. Last of all he had a shop at No. 1
Cornhill.
His latest dwelling-house was on Tremont Street, at the north
corner of Bromfield Street, the whole property having been pur-
chased by him in Jan. 1774 from Mr. John Timmins. With its fine
gai-den about it, the house stood until it was burned, shortly before
Aug. 1840, the property passing then by sale to Mr. Charles H.
Eldredge. In 1865 Horticultural Hall was built on the site of the
ancient house. In the Revolution this valuable property was con-
fiscated, but Mrs. De Blois was soon afterwards permitted to buy it
back. There this lady lived, and there her daughter, " Miss Betsey,"
also lived, probably until the house was burned.
Gilliert De Blois planted the so-called " Paddock elms " in front
of tlie Granary Burying-Ground, buying them from Mr. James
Smith, the wealthy sugar-baker and a warden of King's Chapel in
1722, who had imported them from England and placed them in his
nursery at Brush Hill, Milton. In return for the trees he promised
to name and did name a son for James Smith. (Letters of James
Murray, Loyalist, Boston, 1901.)
Gill>ert and his brother Lewis De Blois petitioned, 15 May 1754,
for the widening of Queen (Court) Street, because they had bought
a piece of land at the comer of Hanover and Queen Streets, two or
three years before, and had since built a brick house there. They
had given some of their own land to widen Hanover Street, (l^s-
ton Records, vol. 14, pp. 258, 261.) The building afterwards long
known as " Concert Hall " was conveyed, 30 Sept. 1754, by Gilbert
and Lewis De Blois, braziers, to Stephen De Blois, their father, for
£2000 lawful money. In 1769 this property was sold by Stephen
De Blois to William Turner, gentleman, for £1000 sterling. Turner
at the same time mortgaging it to De Blois. It afterwards passed
10 Old Boston Families [Jan.
to the Amory family.* (Drake, History and Antiquities of Boston,
pp. 641, 642.) Until the Revolution Gilbert De Blois's name ap-
pears in many records of transfer of real estate in Boston.
In 1774 he was an addresser of Hutchinson and in 1775 of Gage,
being called a '< shop-keeper in Comhill." In Mar. 1776, with
a family of four, he went to Halifax with Howe's fleet, and from
there, probably in May, he sailed for England with other Loyalists.
In 1778 he was proscribed and banished as an enemy of the state.
In 1779, as one of a group of expatriated Loyalists in London, he
addressed the King. Whether his wife Ann left Boston with him
for Halifax is not known, but if she did she soon returned, and
until her death she retained the oversight of her husband's business
in Boston. In 1789 Gilbert De Blois revisited Boston for the mar-
riage of his son Lewis with Ruth Hooper Dalton, and also, no
doubt, to make his will, which bears date 3 June 1789, and was
proved in Boston 28 Feb. 1792.
He returned to England, probably in the late autumn of 1789,
and died at Peckham, a suburb of London, 27 Nov. 1791, aged 65.
He was probably buried in Londcm. The notice of his death in the
Ge7Uleman'$ Magcanney vol. 61, part 2, p. 1161, describes him as
^^ Mr. Gilbert De Blois, late of Boston, New England, mercht'*
He first appointed as executors of his will Oliver Smith, George
De Blois of Boston, and Mr. Lewis De Blois, his brother, of Lon-
don. But 11 Nov. 1789 he substituted for these hb sons Lewis of
New York and Stephen of Portland. In his will he mendons his
wife Ann ; his childbren Gilbert, William, Elizabeth, Lewis, Stephen,
and James Smith ; his nephew George, ^ of Boston '* ; and his
brother Lewis, in London. Among his bequests were his pews in
King's Chapel and Trinity Church. The agent appointed by the
court, 29 Jan. 1779, to care for his estate, because of his absence in
England, was Dr. Thomas Bulfinch, the well-known physician, who
performed similar service for many other expatriated Loyalists, his
old friends and fellow-worshippers at King's Chapel.
Gilbert De Blois was long one of the most prominent supporters of
King's Chapel, his family from their first coming to Boston having
worshipped in this church. For many years, until his death, he
owned pews Nos. 20 and 72, and he owned two pews in Trinity
Church. He was a vestryman of King's Chapel from 1763 to 1776,
and a warden from 1769 to 1775. In his portrait by Copley, which
was painted in London after the Revolution, he is represented at
^^ sitting partly in profile, dressed in a brown coat, with a white wig.
His right hand rests upon a table before him, holding a pen, and
over his head is a crimson curtain, with sky in the background. It
is a fine specimen of Copley's latest manner." (Perkins, Works of
John Singleton Copley, p. 51.) This portrait was bequeathed to his

proportions and the richness of its architecture. In 1817 it was not only the best, bat
the lar^e»t, hall in Boston. The entrance was on Pemberton Hill, now Court Street.
Its basement, on Hanover Street, was occupied hy Peter Briehann, oysterman, who
opened and sold fourteen oysters for fourpcnce, half-penn^ (oj^ cents), that being a
Spanish coin, the only silver money of that day. From this humble occupation and
by prudence in affairs he became owner of Concert Hall, and laid the foundation of
bif large fortune, the major part of which he bequeathed to the poor of Boston.**

has passed into history as one of Boston's noted eighteenth-century
belles. In her youth she was wooed by '' the altogether unex-
ceptionable " Mr. Martin Brimmer, but her mother disapproved of
the match, and Just as the wedding ceremony was about to be
performed, entered the church (perhi^s King's Chapel) and for-
bade the marriage. The town record of Boston marriages has
ttiis significant entry : ''Mr. Martin Brimmer and Mrs. Elizabeth
De Blois (forbid), July 24, 1777." In the Rbgistkr, vol. 11, pp. 75,
76, the story of the tnu^cal ending of this romantic love-match is
interestingly told, and a letter from Benedict Arnold to Mrs.
Knox, wife of General Knox, is also given, in which, under date
of 4 Mar. 1777, Arnold incloses a missive to " the heavenly Miss
Deblois," with whom he also was evidently much in love. This
letter from Arnold to Mrs. Knox is also printed in the Rboistbr,
vol. 26, p. 201. In her grandfather's will, as we have seen, Eliza-
beth De Blois's name occurs. It was placed there, however, not
when the will was written, but in the early part of the succeedhig
year, 1778. In this insertion, which is made above the original
line in the will, immediately after the name Elizabeth appears
the word " Beconcil'd," and we have here, no doubt, unexpected
testimony to the family's displeasure at the young lady's determi-
nation to become Mr. Brimmer's wife. When the match was
finally given up, her family became reconciled to her and she
found her proper place in her grandfather's will. Miss De Blois
inherited aJmost all her mother's property, including the hoase on
Tremont Street, and apparently lived there in "single-blessed-
ness and high respectability " until well on towards 1840, when
she removed to Roxbury. She is said to have remained almost
to the last " a straight, tall, elegant woman." Her will, dated
27 Dec. 1880, is recorded at Dedham.

5. Lewis' De Blois (Stephen,^ Louii^), bom in New York 9 Sept.
1 727, became like his brother Gill)ert a successful importer of and
dealer in hardware and other foreign goods in Boston. Ilis place
of business in 175G and 1 757 was at the " Sign of the Golden Eagle "
in Dock Square, but in July 1763 it was at the foot of King Street.
He announces, 24 Oct. 17r)JJ, that he has removed his stock of goods
from King Street to his "late dwelling house on Dock Square."
He announces also, 25 .July 1763, that he intends to sail for Eng-
land early in the next spring, and he wishes all persons indebted
to him to settle their accounts. At this time he advertises for sale
"a curious toned harpsicord just imported from London," which
" is esteemed the master piece of the famous Falconer." He also
advertises for church use an organ inade by Mr. Thomas Johnston
of Boston, formerly used in the Concert Hall. He calls for lumber,
codfish, and mackerel. In 1774, when he becomes a "protester
and addresser," he is called " Shopkeei>er" in Dock Square.
(Mags, Hist Soc, Proceedings^ Vol. 11, p. 392.) In Mar. 1776,
with a family of two, he went with Howe's fleet to Halifax, from
there, very likely in May, sailing with his brother Gilbert and other
Loyalists for England. {Mass. Hist. Soc, Proceedings, vol. 18, p.
266.) With his brother he was proscribed and banished in 1778.
He was a vestryman of King's Chapel from 1763 to 1776. In
1754 he exchanged his pew, No. 68, in the church with Samuel
Withered for pew No. 66.

Stephen De Blois, Jr., advertises a similar, though larger stock at
bis shop at the " Sign of the Golden Eagle," Dock Square, Boston,
George De Blois, his brother, also announcing in the same adver-
tisement a mixed stock of hardware, spices, silks, threads, canvas,
hour-glasses, coffee-mills, etc., at his shop in Salem. ( Boston Gazette^
May 9, 1768.) It will thus be seen that Stephen, Jr.'s, place of
business in Boston at this time was the same as that of his cousin
Lewis, but what business connection there was between the two
does not appear. In the News Letter of February 23 and March 15,
1764, Stephen, Jr., informs the public that he has <)j)ened a store
in Dedham, at the house of Dr. Nathaniel Ames (the almanac*
maker), where he has a large stock of hardware. He will take in
exchange for new goods old pewter and brass. This temporary
removal, like that of his cousin Gilbert to Weston at the same
time, was made necessary by the epidemic of smallpox raging in
Boston. How soon after this Stephen, Jr., removed permanentiy
to Newport, R. I., is not known, but the Biographical Cyclopedia
of R, /., part 1, p. 114, says that in Newport he was first an im-
porter of hardware, then a shipping merchant and shijvowner, al-
together one of the most considerable merchants in the town.
In the Revolution he was a Tory, and for a whUe he left New-
port for New York ; but he resettled there in Aug. 1784, and in
1790 his household is described as consisting of one male over 16,
two males under 16, six white females, and two slaves. His
dwelling-house was on Thames Street, " opposite the old Ruggles
house," and there he died, 15 Feb. 1805, in his 70th year. He was
a vestryman of Trinity Parish, Newport, and is buried in Trinity
Churchyard. The inscription on his tombstone calls him a "re-
spectable citizen and merchant of Newport," and the Biographical
Cyclopedia says that he was generous, enterprising, public-spirited,
and foremost in every movement for tiie prosperity and welfare of
the town.

• This is believed to have been his first marriage.
14 Old Boston Familiea [Jan.
George De Blois lived at Salem, but seems to have had business
comiectioiis with his relatives Gilbert, Lewis, and Stephen De Blois,
and was in business with Greorge De Blois, Jr. Like his cousins
in Boston he was an ardent Tory, and in 1774 signed addresses to
Hutchinson and Gage. In Apr. 1775 he was obliged to flee from
Salem, leaving behind him property valued at £438. 11. 5|, of
which, however, he recovered a good deal. (Etsex Institute Bistort
teal CoUectianSy vol. 43, p. 302.) When he saw that it was necessary
to leave Salem, he first planned to go to Boston, but this plan he
found impracticable, and he therefore embarked for Halifax, 29 Apr.
1775, in the brig Afinerva, with his own family, a Mrs. Cottnam and
her family, Dr. John Prince, and Mr. James Grant He left Hali-
fax, 14 June 1777, in the transport Catherine, for New York, where
he staid for three years, until 28 July 1781, when he left New York
harbor on the Britannic for Halifax, sailing 1 Aug. from Sandy
Hook. He reached Halifax again 14 Aug. 1781, and establishing
a commission business lived tibere, perhaps without again visiting
the United States, until 1799. In the latter year, in very poor
health, and accompanied by his daughter Sarah, he left Halifax^
4 May, in the schooner Mary for Boston. After eight days he
reached Boston, and from there went to Newport, R. I. In Newport
his illness increased, and he died, 18 June 1799, probably at his
brother's house. In the churchyard of Trinity Church is a tomb-
stone, on which is the following inscription :
'< Sacred to the memory of Gfeorge De Blois, Esq., a reputable
merchant of Halifax, Nova Scotia, who departed this life the 18^
of June, 1799, in the 59^ year of his age ; and of his sister, Mary
De Blois, died December 11, 1818, aged 75 years."
On the 8th of May, 1802, a little less than three years after her
husband's death, Mrs. Greorge De Blois sailed from Halifax in the
schooner Mary with her sons Stephen Wastie and William Minet
and her daughters Lydia and Ann Maria, to make her home once
more in Massachusetts. The next month the sons returned to Hali-
fax, but the mother and daughters remained at Dedham. At Hali-
fax the sons continued their father's business in the name of their
mother, Sarah De Blois. It is not known in what year Mrs. De
Blois herself returned to Halifax ; but she died there at the house
of her son Stephen Wastie, 25 Dec. 1827, '< aged 74."

Laughton, who died at Halifax, Nova Scotia, 21 Apr. 1776, aged
24;* secondly, in New York City, 11 Aug. 1777, Ltdia Scott;
and thirdly, 22 June 1809, Mrs. Ruth (Hooper) Jenkins
of Newburyport, Mass., widow of Lewb Jenkins. He died in
Boston, 6 Sept. 1819, aged 69, and was buried in the De Blob
tomb in King's Chapel. In pursuance of the widow's petition in
1819, administration of the estate of George De Blois was granted
to George Lewis* De Blois, son of George,' a nephew and second
cousin of the deceased, and the widow herself was appointed, 8
Nov. 1819, guardian of her two children.
At the time of his first marriage George De Blois was living at
Newburyport. In a memorial to the British Government, claiming
recompense for losses he had sustained in the Revolution, he says
that at the beginning of the war he was settled in Newburyport,
Mass., but that in April, 1775, he embarked with his family for the
River St. John. When his uncle Gilbert's will was made he was
probably living in Boston.

married, but his wife's name is unknown. In his American Loyal-
tsts Sabine confuses Lewis, Jr., with his father Lewis ; but Sabine's
statement that after the peace Lewis was a merchant in St. John,
N. B., and in 1795 a member of the Loyal Artillery there, prop-
erly refers to Lewis, Jr., and is undoubtedly true. He died at

death of one of our leading merchants fills our entire community with profound sor-
row. In nil the relations of life Mr. John A. De Bloi* wan a mo<lcl man; he was one
of the pillars of the Episcopal Cliurch. He was a native of Boston, hut has resided
in this city since 1837, and has been actively engaged in the commission business as
a mcmbt'r of the firm of Hall and De Bloin, a firm which has contributed m»ich to the
prosperity of the city of Cohunbus by its extensive business relations with Northern
manufact'nrcrs. Honest and unright in his business relations, social in his intercourse
with his ft'llow<i, a model husband, father and citizen, he dies without learinir an
enemy behind him, and his loss is deplored by the community as a public caUunity."

And now my son Joseph remember that Joseph of Arimathea was a

the Inxly of Jesus and buried it. My son John remember what a loving
and a beloved disciple he was. My daughter Hope* consider what a grace
of God hope is and court after that hope that will never be ashamed but
hath hope of eternal life and salvation by Jesus Christ. My son Obadiah
consider that Obadiah was a servant of the Lord and tender in spirit and
in a troublesome time hid the prophets by fifty in a cave.
• Called Hopetdll in the will.

My son Samnel remember Samuel was a chief prophet of the Lord
ready to hear his voice saying speak Lord for Thy servant heareth.
My daughter Martha remember Martha although she was cumbered
with many things yet she loved the Lord and was beloved of him for He
loved Mary and Martha.
'NLy daughter Mary remember Mary she chose the better part that shall
not be taken away and did hearken to the Lord's instructions.
My son Johnathau remember how faithful and loving he was to David
that servant of the Lord.
My daughter Lidiah remember how Lidiah*s heart was opened her ear
bored her spirit made to be willing to receive and obey the apostle in what
the Lord required and was baptized and entertained and refreshed the
servants of this Lord.
In the Reoister, vol. 64, pp. 237-239 (July, 1910), evidence
18 ofTered to show that Rev. Obadiah Holmes was the son of Robert
Hulme of Reddish, in the parish of Manchester, Lancashire, Eng-
landf and wa« baptized 18 Mar. 1609/10. Additional evidence as
to his English connections is afforded by his memoirs, in which Rev.
Obadiah Hoknes writes :
The twentieth day of the tenth month in the year 1675 I Obediah
Hnllme now come to the evening of the day being sixty nine years old or
thereabouts.
He also says, in speaking of his parents :
Three sons they brought up aright to the University at Oxford.
A letter of Rev. Obadiah Holmes, which, unfortunately, contains
no further genealogical information, ends with these sentences :
This for Mr John Angher, and my brother Robert Hullme, and broth-
er in law, and sisters ; with Mary Howly, . . .
For Robert Hullme at his house in Redish near Gorton Chapel in the
parish of Manchester. In Lancashire.
In these sentences, therefore. Rev. Obadiah Holmes positively
identifies Robert Hullme of Reddish near Gorton Chapel as his
brother.
NATHANIEL MOTT OF SCITUATE AND HIS SONS
By G. AxDBBWt MoELiBTT, Jr., A.M., of Newport, R. I.
Nathaniel Mott, one of the pioneers of Scituate, Mass., left
a large and interesting family, which scattered into various parts
of New England, some of them attaining eminence in various walks
of life previous to the War of the Revolution; but, curiously
enough, nothing about him except the meagre and imperfect account
to be found in Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island
and a brief and incomplete statement in Harris's James Mott of
24 N'athaniel Mott of Scituaie [Jan.
Dutchess County, N. Y., and his Descendants, p. 7, has ever ap-
peared in print. The present article will deal with Nathaniel Mott
and his sons, showing where they settled, giving their children, and
tracing a few of his more distinguished descendants.
1. Nathaniel* Mott, of Scituate, Plymouth Colony, and Braintree,
Mass., is first mentioned, as an inhabitant of Scitaate, in the list of men
able to bear arms in Plymouth Colony in 1643. In 1645 he was one of
the eight Scituate men sent out in the expedition of Plymouth Colony
against the Narragansett Indians, and he served thirteen days. He is
next found in 1656 in the neigh lK)ring town of Braintree, where he mar-
ried. The Middlesex court records mention him as living at Mr. Parker's
farm, 22 Dec. 1 663. The births of his children are all rewwded in the
Braintree records, and the same records state that he was one of the four
Braintree men killed by the Indians, 23 Feb. 1675/6, when they made
their incursion into that town. Nathaniel Mott seems to have been a man
of humble position, for he nowhere appears in the Suffolk land evidence^
and he left no will. He married at Braintree, 25 Dec. 1656, Hannah
Shooter, widow of Peter of Scituate.
Children, bom at Braintree :
I. Nathaniel,* b. 28 Dec. 1657 ; d. 18 Mar. 1660/1.
2. 11. John, b. 19 Aug. 1669.
S. ill. Nathanul, b. 30 Aug. 1661.
Iv. Mary, b. 15 Dec. 16G4.
V. [Lt]i>ia, b. 12 July 1666 ; possibly m. Calkb LrrTLEFiELD of Brain-
tree, Mahs., and of Klngstowu and New Shor^iam, R. I., ancestor
of the Rhode Island Littlelields.
4. tI. Samuei^ b. 25 Jan. 1668/9.
vii. Elizabbth, b. 17 May 1671 ; m. 80 Dec. 1690 Edmund Littlefield
of Wells, Me., and Braintree, Mass., ancestor of the Littlelields
of Norfolk and Bristol counties.

5. ix. Edward, b. 11 May 1673.
6. X. Ebenezkr, b. 16 Sept. 1675.
2. John* Mott (Nathaniel ^)j of New Shoreham, R. I., and Lyme,
Conn., bom at Braintree 19 Aug. 1659, removed to New Shoreham,
or Block Island, with his brother Nathaniel about the year 1680.
His name appears in the list of freemen there in 1684. He sold
land at Block Island 19 Dec. 1689, and again 27 Mar. 1693, when
he is descril>ed as "formerly of this Island, but now of Lyme,
Connecticut." This is all that has been gleaned concerning his
career. He married, 16 Oct. 1683, Marcy Tosh, daughter of
William and Jael (Sullivan) of Block Island. This William Tosh
appears to have been the William Macintosh who was among the
Scotch prisoners shipped to New England by Cromwell in 1 651^
after the battles of Dunbar and Worcester, most of whom were sold
to the Lynn and Braintree Iron Works. Tosh or Macintosh mar>
ried at Braintree, 7 Dec. 1660, Jael Swilvan, who was evidently
one of the shi[>-load of Irish captives sent to New England in 1 654.
AVhen the Braintree men set out to settle Block Island, Tosh
was among the first settlers, and became a man of prominenoe
there.

8. Natoaniel* Mott (Nathaniel^), of New Shoreham, R. I., born at
Braintrce 30 Aug. 1661, followed his father-in-law Nathaniel
^Vinsley of Salisbury, Mass., to Block Island, where he was a free-
man in 1684. He became one of the leading citizens of New
Shoreham and a large landowner. In 1695 and for many subse-
quent years he was town clerk, from 1700 to 1710 he was deputy
from the Island to the Rhode Island General Assembly, and in
1710 he was lieutenant of the Block Island company. He married
first, 29 Nov. 1682, Hkpzibah Winsley, daughter of Nathaniel
of Salisbury, Mass., and Block Island ; and secondly, 23 Jan. 1 693/4,
Sarah Tosh or MacIntosh, daughter of William and Jael
(Sullivan) of Braintree and New Shoreham. Nathaniel Mott's
will is dated 14 Nov. 1717, and proved 12 Dec. 1717. He is the
ancestor of all the numerous Motts of New Shoreham.

Jan. 1668/9, was at Lyme as early as 6 Apr. 1692. He resided
in that part of Lyme known as Joshua-town. He was a yeoman of
large landed property. His will, on file at New London, is dated
20 Aug. 1751, and was proved 16 Apr. 1753. He married first,
at Lyme, 6 Apr. 1692, Mart ; and secondly Margaret
, who survived him.

brothers to Block Island, where he was a freeman in 1696, and
constable in 1700. He married, 9 Dec. 1695, Penklope Tosii,
widow of William, Jr. His family is the most obscure of all the
Mott families of this generation. In 1702 he was at Block Island,

3 Apr. 1761. '* Marcy Mott of New Shorebam'* was married at
Block Island, 1 July 1714, to Caleb Littlefield, Jr., *^of lungs-
town.*' She is clearly the daughter of John and Marcy (Tobb)
Mott, for the wills of Nathaniel and Samuel Mott eliminate tbem
from consideration as her father, while Ebenezer Mott of Scituate
married too late to be her parent. She must therefore be tbe
child of either Edward or John Mott. Now Edward Mott was
living at Kingstown at the time when she was called of New
Shoreham. We find no trace of anv dauirhter Marcv for Edward
and Penelope Mott, and the names Eilwaril and Penelope nowbere
occur among her descendants. On the other hand, tbe first son of
Caleb and Marcy (Mott) Littletield was named Jobn, a new name
in tbat brancb of tbe Littlefield family.
1913] Descendants of Samuel Ooodwin 27
Her son, John Littlefield, Esq., was a prominent man at New
Shoreham, being warden, deputy, and ensign. He married Phoebe
Ray, and was t£e father of Capt. William Littlefield of Newport,
K. I., a distinguished Revolutionary officer and senior warden of
Trinity Church there, and of Catherine LittleiSeld, the wife of Major-
Genend Nathaniel Greene. William Littiefield, Jr., son of Capt.
William, was for many years collector of the port of Newport.
SOME RECORDS OF SAMUEL GOODWIN
OF POWNALBOROUGH, ME., AND fflS DESCENDANTS
Commtmicated by Hon. Hbnrt Sbwall Wbbstbb, A.M., of Gardiner, Me.
The book from which the following records are taken was given
Id Hon. O. B. Clason of Ganjiner, Me., by Mrs. Margaret Fen-
laaon of Fort Kent, Me. Mrs. Fenlason is a daughter of the late
Major William Dickey of Fort Kent, who was a prominent figure
in Maine politics, and occupied a seat in the legislature for many
consecutive years. On account of his complete control of his legis-
lative district he was called " The Duke of Fort Kent.** He married
Lydia F. Bodfish at Gardiner, Me., 23 Oct. 1842.
Samuel Goodwin and his son Samuel were identified with the
settlement and early history of Pownalborough on .the Kennebec
River, a town which included the present towns of Dresden, Per-
kins, Wiscasset, and a part of Alna. The elder Samuel was a
member of the so-called Plymouth Company, composed of the pro-
prietors of the Kennebec Purchase, who had obtained this grant
originaUy from the PUgrim Colony at Plymouth. Both he and his
son were extensive owners of real estate in Pownalborough.*
In this book there are two series of entries. The first series is
found only on the right-hand pages, and is written in a large, fair
hand which might be compared to copperplate if the simile had not
been so often employed. The rest of the writing, most of which is
on the left-hand pages, is much inferior. Perhaps the first series
was written by an experienced penman at Mercy Bodfish's dicta-
*For this Goodwin family see a paper read by the late Charles E. Allen of Dresden
before the Maine Historical Society, 17 Mar. 1892, and entitled Some Huguenot and
Mer early Settler » on the Kennebec \n the preeent Town of Dresden. From this paper,
which has fteen published in pamphlet form, it appears (p. 23) that John Goodwin,
father of the elder Samuel Goodwin, was bom *' at Savers Dock, near London, Eng-
land," 16 Mar. 1688, and came to Boston, Mass., in 1712, his wife, two sons, and a
daairhter following him to Boston the next year. The wife and daughter died soon
afterwards, and John Goodwin married Lydia Sprague, daughter of Jonathan of
Maiden, Mass., the Boston records giving 25 Nov. 1714 as the date of this marriage.
She died at Charlestown in 1739, aged 67 years. Samuel Goodwin, only son of John
and Lydia (Sprague) Goodwin, was born *' near King's Chapel, Boston,*' 27 Jan. 1716,
this date appearing also in the record given below and in Boston Births, 1700-1800,
p. 114, where the birth of* Samuel Son of John Goodwin and Lydia his Wife " is re-
corded. There is also something about this family in Wyman's Genealogies and E§-
tatet of Cbarleatown.

[Thomas Iksbeech, baptized at Biddenden 3 Mar. 1589/90, younger son
of John B<*sbeech, the testator of 1609, married there 14 Jan. 1018/19
Anne Baseden. They resided for a few years at Frittenden, where two
daughters were born and his wife died. Later he lived at Headcom and
Sandwich. In the sjjriug of 1635 he emigrated to New England, where
he lived at Scituate and Sudbury, Mass., and died 9 Mar. 1673/4, leaving
issue. His mother Dorothy, the testator of 1619, was daugliter of Henry
Austen of Biddenden and sister of Wacher or Walter Austin of Bethers-
den, the tesUitor of 1600. She was married first to Thomas Foster of
Bi<ldeiiden, by whom she had, besides other issue, a don Richard Foster,
who marricMl Patience Bigg ; the latter, with her son Hopestill Foster, went
to New England in 1 ()^b and settled at Dorchester, Mass. Hopestill Fofr-
ter was thus nephew by the half-blood of Thomas Besbeech.
The Besbctjoh (originally Byxpitch) family is of great antiquity in the
Weald of Kent, and numerous early wills of the family are extant ; but ex-
tensive search has failed to establish the identity of John Besbeech, the
testator of 1609, among the numerous individuals of that name. — £• F.]

Winifred (Hatch) Wills, widow of Richard Wills aud sister of John Hatch,
the testator of 1628. Of their children John Uuckstep was the testator of
163u, and Lydia Huckstep, baptized 11 Feb. 1587/8, was married about
160»i to Nathaniel Tilden and emigrated with him and their children to
New England in 1635. (Register, vol. ^b^ p. 331.) John Hackstep,
the testiitor of 1024, was an uncle of Lydia (Huckstep) Tilden.
The will of John Hatch shows Puritan atiiliations, and is rich in family
history. Doubtless some of the early Hatch emigrants to New England
were related to him. — E. F.]

THE TOWN RECORDS OF GOSPORT, N. H.
CommanicAted by Joseph Wsathbbhsao Warksn, 1I.D., of Bryn Xawr, Fk
Besides the book containing <* The Becords of the Church of Gosport,''
which was in large part printed in the Beoister, vol. 66,* the town of
Gosport, N. H., had also a book containing the records of town-meetings
together with a varictv of other entries conoemin^ the families of Star
Island and to some extent of other of the Isles of Shoals and their affairs.
In 1872 nearly the whole of Star Island, including all of the land beloii|^
ing to the town of Gosport, passed into other, priyate hands, in order that
a large summer hotel, the Oceanic, the proposed riyal of the popular Apple-
dore House, might be erected ihere. The town, which was incorporated
24 Dec 1715, did not at once go out of existence. A kind of organizatian
was preserved, some dwellers on other islands and other non-residents beiic
generally taken in for that purpose, and from time to time, as late as 187^
a representative was elected to go to Concord and actually went. In tlie
sessions of the House of Representatives in 1876 the question of excusing
Gosport from sending a representative, which had been brought up at intei«-
Tals ever since 1871, became fully ripe, and bills were introduced to repeal
the act authorizing representation, or to take away the charter, and to annex
the place to Rye. These passed the House 19 July, and the Senate ooo-
curreii therein the next day. The act was to take effect 1 Sept. 1876i.
The next year another bill was passed, which estaUished the district of
Gosport in the town of Rye and gave to it certain powers as to police r^ii-
lations and ordinances as though it were a duly inccMporated town. It was
also provided that all the taxes of the cUstrict, other than for state and
county purposes, should be for its exclusive use and benefit. Two yeara
laser, in 1879, the district of GosiK)rt was made liable for paupers and
other demands as though an independent township. One may reasonably
guess that the inhabitants of Rye had a haml in this somewhat remarkaUe
legislation, fearing that old and decrepit Shoalers might acquire daima oo
the town and become a burden.
For some vears the book of town records remained as a curiositv for tlie
ediiicadon of the summer visitor at the hotel on Star Island. It then
*Tbas book u cow in the keeping of the Xew HAmpshira HiHoncal Socistj tX
1918] Town Records of Gosport^ N". JET, 67
into the posaesBion of the selectmen of Rye, nntil, under the state law for
the preservation of old records, it was taken to Concord and put with the
other documents now in charge of the secretary of state.*
The book has no title-page and no name, except on a strip of paper pasted
on the back, but it is proper to call it the " Town Records of Gosport,*'
although it contains many other things. It is of about the same form as
the church book, 12} by 8 inches, and has 458 pages. Formerly only a
partial paging by folio numbers existed, but a few years ago all the pages
were clearly marked, and this numbering is followed here. The book con-
tains two kinds of paper ; it is in fact really two books bound in one, and
some pages clearly show that they were slightly trimmed in the process.
Down to page 110 we evidently have a portion of what in some late entries
is called the **old book," which was begun in 1731. Some of the records
here are beautifully written, while others show evidence of much painful
labor with the pen and a use of the English of the monarch of the moment
calculated to make modem reformers of spelling blush at their moderation.
A few of these remaining pages are much besmoked and brittle, as though
the book had been in a fire. I am indeed informed that the Records were
in the Atlantic House when this building and several others were destroyed
in the great lire of May 1866. This was perhaps not the only exposure of
the kind, fdr fires were not infrequent on Star Island. A part of this older
book has been copied into the newer part of the existent book, but it is not
jKMsible to say how much was lost or destroyed. From page 111 on we
have another kind of paper, bluish in color, and many of the sheets have
the stamp of a crown over BATH in the comer. This part, I take it,
formed at one time a separate ^* new " book. The earliest record on this
kind of paper seems to be one of 1842 (p. 453), which is hardly an entry
that would have been copied from the old book. The new paper or new
book does not seem to have come into general use until several years later,
and even then many entries continued to be made in the old book or part,
ponibly because it was more accessible. It will readily be seen that the
vtmoftt freedom was used, not only in the kind of entry, but also in the
place where it was put Even in the entries of the town-meetings there is
much irregularity. This is in part due to the quite natural practice of
writing fi^t on the right-hand page and then on the left ; but often the
whim of the moment took the writer of other entries to some unexpected
place. Some of the confusion may be attributed to misplacement of sheets
for rebinding.
These Town Records are in some respects almost as remarkable for what
they omit as for what they contain. There is no account of any meeting
before 1731, although some must have been held^ for we have elsewhere
Co the selectmen of Gosport of an earlier date. It is a reasonable
_ that the advent of Mr. Tucke had much influence in leading the town
to start a regular book of records. None of these records, however, are in
bii hand, nor does he appear actively in any of the business of the town.
There is also no entry for 1734 and none for the years 1741>45, 1765,
and 1772. For one or two of these years there may be some confusion of
the dates, but whatever the explanation, a number of records are not
bere. The pages containing them may have been damaged, and the copy-
*f gladly take this opportunity to acknowledge publicly the great courtesy and un-
failing kindnett shown me by the Secretary, Mr. Edward N. Pearson, and the staff of
kia office, particularly by Miss Sargent and Mr. Willis, in my Arequent visits to that
office for toA examination of these and other records.
58 Town Records of Qosportj N. H. [Jan.
ing of such pages may not have appealed to the copybt when other parts
of the book were transcribed. Records of town-meetings are also entirely
lacking for the years 1776-1802, unless the vague ana undated entry on
p. 87 belongs here. During the big gap from 1805 to 1844 it is certain
that no meetings were held. For the year 1853 a meeting is called, but
there is no record of its doings. Although there is a call for a meeting
which seems to belong to 1855, there is no record of such a meeting that
year or the next, but in the almanac of the period {New Hcanpshir^
Heffister) town officers appear and the town had a representative at Concord.
The years 1860-61 are also lacking, and there is no record of* a town-
meeting after 1862, not even after the voluminous notice of one in 1863.
There is plenty of outside evidence that meetings were held after that
time, although probably with some irregularity; it is also possible that
these records have been removed from the book, but the make-up of the
book does not clearly show this. It is well known that at this time there
was much disagreement in town affairs among the Gosportians, and nuiny
contentions arose, reaching even to the point of personal conflicts. It is
also pretty clear to those familiar with the conditions of these stormy times
that the existence of jealousies and quarrels made the inhabitants resdj to
sell out when the chance came, despite tlie fact that the place was well on
the way to prosperity. These are, however, matters with which the Records
have no immediate connection, and we are not now concerned with the his-
tory of Gosport save as it makes the l>ook more clear.
What appears here is in the main a faithful copy of the originaL In
using the material it should be remembered that ^though in many
we can tell who made the record and thus gauge its accuracy, there
also many items which may be viewed with a judicious skepticism. It
should also be borne in mind that many of the families are by no means
completely recorded. Often an entry was made when the family was new
or small, and no account was taken of the additions as they came along.
In some entries having no evident historical or genealogical value a con-
densation of the record has been made, but all such changes I have en-
deavored to make quite clear. The pages of the original records have been
indicated by numeiuls inclosed in brackets.

Pkoper Agent or Attorney to Represent the said Town at his Majestys
^From the records of the meeting of 18 Deo. 1731 and of the meetinK and letters of
IB April 1732 it would seem that Mr. Tucke had been at Gosport for some time, possi-
U|j ever since October. In tho Church Records (Register, vol. 66, p. 144) he enters
a marriage under date of 24 Jan. 1731/2 as though performed by him at that time. On
At other hand some 25 baptisms of Shoalers stand in the records of the Church of
1^ between 8 Oct. 1731 and 12 Apr. 1732, as copied bj Mr. Tucke into the records of
tbt Gosport church. These baptisms may have taken place on Star Islanil. There is
also one Shoals marriage of 4 Oct. 1731 in the Rye record. It is not unlikely that Mr.
IWke had authority (as a justice of the peace ?) to marry, but none to baptize, not
Mdc as yet ordained. This view would explain the entry in the Rye record of tht
baoCism of four children of the Shoals as late as 9 Jul? 1732, only a couple of weeks
Wore the ordination. The ** heavy Stroake of Providence " refers, I suppose, to the
teth of a son. Dow, in his History of Hampton, notes a son Bci^amin as baptized 6
April 1731 and dying young. In Lane's Deaths in Hampton (Register, vol. o8, p. 80)
vtread : ** 1732 march 13 mr. Tucks child died at the shore,*' and I am tempted to
Interpret '* shore" as *' Shoals." Another Benjamin was bom in 1745.
It may be of interest to add that the Church of Gosport met at tho house of William
lUchemore 13 July 1732 and chose Mr. Tucke for their minister and voted *' that his
ordination should be at the time mentioned by the Town.*' Tho record continnes

* James Pitman of Portsmouth, butcher, had applied to the court sitting at Dover
Sept. 1732 that the town of Gosport be summoned to pay charges for the care of Pieter
Punter, fisherman, for whom Pitman had oared many months. The town was aaid to
be responsible for his care. It appears that news of an impending trial had Juat »•
riTed, and this caused the selectmen to send out a notice or a meetins at this unanul
hour. Peter Punter had fished for different persons on various islands, and his habits
lion was a matter of dispute. It is not eyidout that he was already dead.
t To fishermen on a small triangular island, some miles out at sea, a " leeward daj **
might be either a day so calm that the boats could not go out at all or a day wim a
wind altogether unfavorable to the fishing of the season. None of the dictionariif
has a meaning of leeward that seems to fit here. Murray gives ** calmness, peaoAi
traoquillity *' as rather unusual meanings of " lee," but has no con
>rresponding
ings of *< leeward." The same words also occur in the Records of the Church of Go**
port nearly fourteen years later, on 19 Dec. 1746. There, at the end of a church moe^
ing where the condition of the community was a matter of very serious and prolongod
consideration, Mr. Tucke makes this entry : ** The C^ by a Vote adjourn v« CM

THOMAS LEVET OF EXETER AND HAMPTON
By ViCTOB Chakniko SanborK, Esq., of Kenllworth, 111.
A SURPRISING fact about the early settlers of New England is that so
few records were kept of their English homes and ancestry. Where no
identifying record has surviyed three centuries of time, a connection can
often be traced through neighbors and friends in the first twenty years of
sojourn here. But sometimes an early immigrant cannot thus be linked
with a group. Then, unless the family name be uncommon, the search
for English ancestry is blind indeed.
The name of Levet is not uncommon, and there is some doubt whether
a connection exists between Thomas Levet of P^xeter and Hampton and
any group of early New England settlers. Thomas Leyet was bom in
1616, as appears from his death record and from a deposition of his, made
in 1676 in the case of Drake r. Colcord (Mass. CU Assts., File No. 1566).
He was thus born in the same year as William Wentworth, Christopher
Lawson, and Edward Rishworth. He is first found among the signers of
John Wheelwright's Exeter Combination of 1639, where his name ap»
pears between those of James Wall and Edmund Littlefield. For we most
regretfully abandon belief in the Wheelwright Deed of 1629, where the
name of *' Thomas Levitt " appears as a grantee, with Wheelwright^ An*
gustin Storre his brother-in-law, Thomas Wight, and William Wentworth.
This fraudulent deed was brought forward in 1707 to support the anti-
Masonian claims, but its only genealogical use is to connect the granteeB|
between whom a relationship was doubtless at that early date known to
exist.
In tracing the English ancestry of our Thomas Levet, three clues pre-
sent themselveB : (1) The tradition connecting him with Wheelwright, the
Hutehinsons, and Wentworth. (Wentworth Genealogy, vol. 1, p. 76.)
(2) What is known of other early Levets in New England. (3) The aflflh
davit of Abraham and Nathaniel Drake in 1691, that Colchester, co. Els-
sex, was the English home of Lcvet*s wife and, perhaps, of Levet himself.
(Register, vol. 21, p. 316.)
The Wheel wTiglit-Hutchinson tradition points to Lincolnshire, since that
county furnisliod the entire Wheelwright connection. Lincolnshire is sin-
gularly liU'king in I^vets, though a few references to the name are found.
The will of Jolm Hutchinson in 1644 mentions his '* sister Levitt,*' and
Ralph Levet was a witness (Register, vol. 20, pp. 362-363). This led
Col. Chester and Hon. John Wentworth to believe that our Thomas was
a son of this Ralph Levet. Rut Canon Maddison found in the Bilsby tran-
script tlie marriage of " Ralfe Levit and Anne Hutchinson " on 25 Jan.
1631/2. Doubtless this Ralph Levet was rector of Grainsby, Lincoln-
shiro, in 1 G'-):'), and l)elonged to the Melton line, as we shall see. He was
the latlur of Francis Levet, rector of Little Carlton, mentioned in the
next p}iragraj)h. But he could hardly have l)een the father of our Thomas
Levrt, who was born in 1616.
In SulVolk Deeds, book 10, fo. 215, is a deed from John Wheel wright^
22 ()<-t. ir,77, conveying to Richard Crispe all his messnage in Maw^
thorp, parish of Willoughby, Lines, and lands in Bumethorpe and Hog^
1913] Thomas Levet of Exeter and Hampton 67
strope, which were in the tenure of John Banister, and were purchased of
Francis Levet, gent, of North Willingham, Lines. This seemed a distinct
clue, but the registers of North Willingham contsiin no Levet entries.
Francis Levet, undoubtedly the son of Ralph of Grainsby, was rector of
Little Carlton, Lines, from 1G62 to 1711. This was a Hutchinson and
Thomdike parish. (Registkr, vol. 51, pp. 120 c/ seq,) The transcripts
of Great and Little Carlton have been searched, and from 1662 to 1710
those for Little Carlton are signed " Fran : Levet, rector." They show
that "Francis Levett, Clerke, and Elizabeth Harris" were married 10
Dec 1662. Their children were :
i. Elizabeth, bapt. at Great Carlton 15 Dec. 1663.
il. Anne, bapt. at Little Carlton 11 Aug. 1667.
ill. Ralph, bapt. at Little Carlton 18 Feb. 1669; bur. 10 May 1674.
Iv. Mary, bapt. at Little Carlton 9 Mar. 1670/1 ; m. at Great Carlton 22
Feb. 1693/4 Righakd Ogle.
V. Thomas, bapt. at Little Carlton 1 May 1673 ; bur. 6 May 1673.
vl. Richard, bapt. at Little Carlton 14 Feb. 1673/4 ; bur. 16 Feb. 1673/4
On 18 Feb. 1673/4 Elizabeth, wife of Francis Levet, ^ ., buried; and
3 July 1711 "Mr. Francis Levett, Reef," was buried. The will of Fran-
cis Levet is filed at Lincoln (vol. for 1711, fo. 60), and in it he leaves be-
qnestfi to his three sons-in-law, JMichael Johnson, William Eldinor, and
John Harrison, and to his Johnson and Eldinor grandchildren. The will is
sealed with the arms of the Melton Lcvetts.
A few scattered notes exist of other Lincolnshire Levets. The will of
Bobert Levitt of Lincoln in 1565 gives nothing of value, unless the be-
qaest to Isabella Symkinson connects this Levitt witt the Doncaster Simp-
kinsons. ' James Levit was ordained deacon by Thomas Cooper, Bishop of
Lincoln, in 1583. At Foston and AUington in southern Lincolnshire was
a family of Lovetts, which can be traced for a generation or two, but this
gives no apparent clue.
William Wentworth of Exeter came from Lincolnshire, but was de-
scended from the Yorkshire line. Near their ancestral home lived a York-
shire family of Ltjvetts, belonging to the leaser lan<led fjontry, seated at
Normanton for some generations, and actpiiring in the fiiteenth century a
lair estate, though not the manor, at High Melton. These Normanton
and Melton Levetts intermarried with the Wentworths. Their pedigree*
ap|>eared in the Visitation of Yorkshire of 1612, and is printed in Hunter's
Deanery of Doncaster. It has been amplified by a descendant, Mr. Milner-
Gibfion-Cullum, in 3 Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldlca, vol. l,t and is in
part as follows :
* It would seem possible to construct a pcdifrreo of the Normanton tind Melton Le-
vetts extending two centuries farther back than the pedigree printed heroin. Thus
"We find in 1241) a Uamond de Lyvet. In 1272-1307 lived a Nicholas de Lyvet, who
held from John de Vesci the manor of Ilooton, later Hooton-Levot, as well as fees iu
Wickersley and Pickburn; he is mentioned in Kirkby's Que^t. In 1327 we lind a
.William Levet of Hooton-Levct, who married Constantia, danj^hterof Roji^er de Wick-
•nlcy and gRinddau^hter of Kichard fitz Turjfi.s, who with John de Husli founded the
Ci»t«rciau Abbey of Koche. In 1377 John Levet, son and heir of William Lcvot, sold
to Richard Barry of London all his ancestral rii?hts in Ilocho Abbey. In 1392 lived
Williain Levet of Tylse, who was a feoffee of Thomas de Barley. In 1420 William Le-
▼et and Elizal)cth his wife lived in Hoot*>n-Lovet. These Levets sold Hootou-Levet
to the (jiijf^jrda^ And perhaps removed to Normanton, where we find a William Levet
who wa« admitted in 1447 to be a tenant of the prior of St. John of Jernsalem. Ho it

The last Levetts living at Melton were the children of the Thomas Lev-
ett who died in 1623. An abstract of his will follows, together with the
answer of his son John to a Chancery bill, showing what became of the
Melton lands.
The Will of Thomas Lbvett of High Melton, gent., 7 October 1G22. I give
to m J wife Elizabeth £40, over and above her portion of my goods. To Thomas
Levett my son and heir apparent all glass and scelkig in or about my house at
Melton. To Ralph Levitt my second son £20, to be paid within one month after
he sball commence Maister of Arts in one of the Universities of Cambridge or
Oxford. And whereas I have a spetiall desire to have my two younger sons,
John Levett and Peter Levett, to be educated and brought up at their books,
whereby they be furnished with knowledge and learning to become profitable
members in God*8 Church or the commonwealth of this land ; I do hereby pray
and desire my said wife, my eldest son Thomas, and my second son Ralfe to be
aiding and assisting to the said John and Peter therehi. And therefore, rather
to allure them to their books and to assist them in their studie, I do bequeath
to the said John Levett £20, to be paid to him w'^in one month after he shall
take the degree of Maister of Arts in Cambridge or Oxford. [Same bequest to
Peter Levett.] To my daughter Jaine Levett £40, over and besides her portion.
The bequests to my three younger sons to be raised out of lands in Cadeby pur-
chased of Richard Waterhouse. If this devise be insulHcieut in law, tlieu I do
require my eldest son to consider how cliargeable his own education liath been
to me and how much to the hindrance of his younger bretliren's preferment, and
therefore I do pray him to give way to this devise. My wife to be executrix.
My brethren Robert Mirfin of Thurcroft and William Levett of Bentlcy to be
Mpravisors. To my good friend Henry Saxton,* clerke, 10s., in tliankful re-
membrance of Grod's blessing by him as a secondary cause in the indoctrinating
of my chUdren. Proved 1 May 1623. (York Wills, vol. 87, fo. 284.)
WHrTAKEB V. FiTZWuxiAMS, Levstt et aL, bill dated 26 October 1658 : Thomas
Whitaker, exr. will of John Whitaker, late of Melton-on-the-Hill, complains
that John Levett, Dr. of Lawes, being seized of a capital messuage there, did
on May 10, 1688, lease the same to the said Jolm Whitaker for 21 years at £61
pr. ann. The said John Whitakers did continue tenant and much improved sd.
farme and continued to pay his rent until he understood that the said Dr. Levett
bad conveyed the reversion thereof to Richard Berry, Dr. in Phisicke, since
deed., after w^ time he did with tlie consent of Dr. Levett pay the rent to Dr.
Berry. Sd. John Whitakers made his will and appointed your orator and John
Whitacers his son exrs. and demised to your orator sd. farme and your orator
pd. rent to Dr. Berry. Dr. Berry, dying about June, 1651, demised sd. fanne
to John Fonntaine, Esq* f and since then your orator has pd. rent to sd. Foun-
talne, saving that sometimes by consent of Dr. Levett, Dr. Berry, and Fountaine
yoor orator and his father pd. to Thomas Fitzwilliams of Doucaster £16 pr.
ann., the interest on £200, lent on some small pt. of the farme by sd. Fitzwil-
liams. And after the death of his sd. father, your orator being an illiterate
person bronght up only to husbandry, the sd. Fitzwilliams, being an attorney
and often Under Sheriff for the County of York, repaired to your orator and re-
qioired him to scale some writings, wliich he said were only to secure the pay-
ment of sd. interest ; but now he preteudeth they are bonds wh. he threatens to
pat in suit. The sd. Fitzwilliams did combine with the said Dr. Levett (who
married Iklary, one of the daughters and coheires of Emmanuel Mote deed.)
•nd with Anne and Dorothy Mote, two other daugliters of sd. Emmanuel Mote,
•o that Feb. 13, 1651, a bill was drawn by which tlie said Anne and Dorothy
Mote claimed that the sd. Emmanuel Mote was seized in fee of tlio manor of
Melton and of this fanne ; and upon the marriage of tlie sd. Mary to Dr. Levett,
■ad hi8 agreement to pay £500 to sd. Anne and Dorothy, the premises were set-
tled on the sd. Dr. Levett ; but the sd. Anne and Dorothy lately discovered that
on July 30, 1685, their fatlier conveyed the premises to sd. Fitzwilliams for £200.

70 Thomas Level of Exeter and Hampton [Jan.
Answer of John Levct, Dr. of I^wes, one of the defendants, 9 Febmarj
1G5:V-^ : DefemUint did at the time nieutiouod in the Bill believe tliat lie WM
seized of the capital messuaife and lands expressed in the Bill as in fee; for he
did not know that Mr. Eininannel Mote ha<l mt^d. any part of them to the de-
fendant Mr. Thomas Fitzwilliams ; and deft, believeth that John Whittaken,
conipts.' fatiier, was privy to the mortgage. The deft, leased said lauds, etc.,
to tlie said John Wliittakers, who continncd as such tenant until such time M
Doctor Herrie |j:ot his interest in it. The deft, upon trust and agreement with
the said Dr. Berrie (then a great professor of his love to the Levets for Mr.
Thomas Levet's sake, to whom he did acknowledge himself bchoulden for the
greater part of liis fortunes) did make a conveyance of his manors and lands in
Melton (a part being the said messuage and lands) with other lands in Cadeby,
Wildetliorpe, and Bentley, unto tlie said Dr. Berrie for the securing of what
money he liad lent tlie deft, or his ))rother Thomas Levet, which loans were
about £330<J. And for the purchase of tlie said lands (in Melton only) deft,
had £10.(M)0 prollered liim by Artliur Ingram the elder, as also by Sir John Mel-
ton, and indeed had sold tliem to the latt<;r, l)ut afterwards because he could
not get Ids moneys in tlie sd. Sir John desisted from perfecting tlie purchase.
After, the said Dr. Berry (contrary to the trust reposed in him) enrolled the
conveyance and endeavored to eject deft., etc., and John Fountayne has ejected
the Deft. (Chancery Proceedings, 1C49-17H, Bundle 17, Bridges.)
Thomas Lievett, the eldest son and heir of Melton, matriculated at Lin-
coln College, O.vford, in 1010, and procewled B.A. 1612/13. In 1G21 he
was c'nttTe<l as a harrist^tr at Lincoln's Inn, and he was still of Lincoln*!
Inn in 1620. According to Foster's Alumni Oxonienses he was fi.C.L.
of Orleans University, 1626.

" Thomas Levit, Esq.," wlio is named as son-in-law and supervisor in John
Lindley's will, dated 31 May 1613 and proved 30 June IGU. (York
mils, Tol. 33, fo. 144.) If this were Thomas of Tixover, it was an early
maniage, for he was but nineteen at the date of the will, and had taken
his B.A. at Oxford only very recently, on 8 Feb. 1612/13. But this mar-
riage of 1613 would permit the birth of our Thomas Levet in 1616. In
connection with Rutlandsliire it is si^ificant that this will of John Lindley
mentions his ** cousin Sir Guy Palmes," who represented Rutlandshire
seven times in Parliament from 1614 to 1640. Arthur Lindley, the oldest
ion of John Lindley, married a daughter of Sir John Garrard, Lord Mayor
of London. Two of her sisters married Lincolnshire men, one Sir John
Beade of Wrangle, and the other Francis Hamby of Tathwell. It is
corioas to note that the granddaughter of this Arthur Lindley married the
■on and heir of Robert Hitch, Dean of York, and thus a grandson of Capt.
Christopher Levett, the explorer.
Hunter's Deanery of Doncaster states that Roger Dods worth, the anti-
quary, " was intimate with Levett of Tixover, who gave him a Chartulary
it the Cluniacs of Pontefract." This was the Chartularv of St. John of
Pontefract, jiublished by the Yorkshire Archajological Society. On this
Tolume, in Dodsworth's own hand, is the record that it came to him " ex
dono Tomae Levett de High Melton, in anno 1 626-7." Probably Thomas
Levett die<l at Tixover before 1655, for in Dugdale*s Monasticon, of which
the first edition was printed in 1 655, is an abstract of a deed concerning
Boche Abbey with this caption, '^ex autographo penes Thomam Levet
nnper de Tikesover in com. Rutland." The parish registers of Tixover
were included with those of Ketton up to 1740. These have been
Marched, but no reference to Thomas Levett has been found. The regis-
ter! have suffered much from damp, and the ink is so faint that many
ptffes could not be deciphered.
John Levett, third son of Thomas Levett of Melton, was born about
1M5. He was admitted pensioner at Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1623.
Pdle's Register states that he had studied at Conisbrough and Haughton.
He proceeded LL.D. in 1633 {per lit. reg.), and became a somewhat
odebrated lawyer at York, but he seems always to have been financially
embarrassed. In 1636 he married Mary, daughter and coheir of Em-
manuel Mote, who owned the manor of Melton. Through this marriage
John Levett acquired a considerable estate, including the manors of Melton
end Bentley, charged with payments to the sisters of his wife. A collection
ef abstracts of deeds in Topographer and Genealogist, vol. 3, pp. 519-526,
ibows that by 1637 John Levett had sold Bentley manor to Sir Arthur
lomm, who in turn sold it to Bryan Cooke of Doncaster. The manor
of Melton was offered to Sir John Melton in 1640, but as he failed to
complete the purchase it went to Dr. Richard Berry, together with the
Lsvett lauds in Bentley and Cadeby, in satisfaction of large sums of money
wUch Dr. Berry had lent to John and Thomas Levett. Hunter's Dexmery
of Doncaster quotes many letters from Dr. Bt»rry. In one of them, dated
7 Dec. 1 649, ho says that a general release has been sealcni between him
•id Levett; and in one date<l 4 IMar. 1650 he savs that Dr. Levett had
promisefl to remove his wife and children out of Melton Hall and to yield
C«*8ion, witli all the demesne lands. Dr. Berry was the son of William
rie of Walesby, co. Lincoln, and was B.A. of Lincoln College, Oxford,
^ 1606, M.A. 1609, and B.Med. 1614. Ho also obtained a diploma from
Padua in 1620, and seems to have been a man of means, thou<;h John
MTett says " he was behoulden to Mr. Thomas Levett f oi* the greater part
72 Tliomaa Level of Exeter and Hampton [Jaiu
of his fortune." Dr. Berry married in 1 637 Pmdencey only daughter ancl
heir of the unhappy Thomas Gargrave, and lived at Hodroyd, near Felkirk,
where he acquired a large estate. His nephew, Major John Monkton, was
the ancestor of the present Viscount Galway, and of General Robert
Monckton, who was wounded with Wolfe at Quebec
On 9 July 1640 James Morley sued John and Thomas Lerettfor £2700,
for his interest '* in certain cole mines lying in Harraton and RicclestoOy
CO. Durham." Morley claimed that he had in 1639 sold his interest for
£300 a year for 21 years to Thomas Lewis of York and Thomas Leveti
of Tixover, and that they had " acknowledged a statute staple of £5000
in consideration thereof ; " that in June 1 639 Thcxnas and John Lerett
had agreed to purchase this £300 a year for £2700, but that Sir John
Melton, John Levett, and Thomas Lerett combined to deprive Morley of
his money. (Chancery Proceedings, Charles I, Bundle M. 46, No. 18.)
This matter of the Harraton collieries came before Cromwell's Committee
for Compounding in 1651-2, and on pp. 2127-9 of the Calendar appears
the petition of Thomas Wray et al, and the answer of John Levett and
Josiah Primate. On 21 Jan. 1652/3 "John Levett, D.C.L., of York'*
begs an allowance for attending on the Committee.
Both John and Thomas Levett were probably Royalists, and they appear
on the Calendars of the Committee for Advancing Money (pages 769 and
1142). In each case, heard in 1649-50, both brothers were cited to
appear, but neither appeared, and the resulting fine was oirdered to be
levied by distress on John Levett^s estate.
Ralph Levett, second son of Thomas Levett ol Melton, was baptised
at Melton 3 Jan. 1600. Following his father's wish, he matriculated at
Christ's College, Cambridge, as a pensioner, in July 1617. This was the
college of John Milton, and John Wilson of the First Church in Boston
took his degree there, as did Ezekiel Rogers, the founder of Rowley, Mass^
and Thomas Jenner of Roxbury, Weymouth, and Saco. Ralph Levett
took his B.A. in 1620/1, and proceeded M.A. in 1624, in which latter
year he was ordained a deacon at York. Perhaps he had a curacy in
Yorkshire, but he was soon associated with Lincolnshire. It may be thai
he knew Wheelwright at Cambridge, for they were there at the same time,
though Wheelwright took his M.A. at Sidney Sussex College in 1618,000
year after Ralph Levett was matriculated at Christ's College.
On 25 Jan. 1631/2, as shown above, '^Mr. Ralfe Levit and Anne
Hutchinson " were married at Bilsby.* She was a daughter of Edward
Hutchinson of Alford and therefore a sister of the second wife of John
Wheelwright Perhaps Wheelwright himself performed the ceremony.
In 1633-34 '^ Radulphus Levet, rector," signs the transcripts of Grainsbjy
Lincolnshire. On 3 Apr. 1635, when the former rector, Thomaa Hum-
phrey, ^vas buried, " Ralph Levitt, M.A.," was presented to the rectory ol
Grainsby by Frances, widow of Sir William Wrayt- (Lincoln Presentation
* Canon Foster has found in the Bilsbj transcripts some new data about John
Wheelwright. On 22 Maj 1628 his daughter Sa.oanna was baptised; she it waa who
married Edward Rish worth. On 18 Ma^ 1629, the day aftcnr the date of the Wheel-
wright deed, John Wheelwright's first wife, Mary Storre, was buried. Canon Foster
has uUo found in the transcripts of Hog^thorpe, 6 July 1620, the marriage of Robert
Towle and Eliraheth Lawson, and in tho»e of Willougnby, 34 Jane 1624, tho BMuriage
of (Teorgius Doareburnc and Helena Robinson.
t Thebc Wrays of Glentworth were a notable Puritan family of Luieolnshire*
originating in Yorkshire and connected with the Wentworths and with the Melton
LevettH. The father of Sir William was Queen Elizabeth's Lord Chief Justice, Sir
Christopher Wray, who married a daughter of Nicholas Girlington. The Girlin|:toni
were lords of the manor of Mnmby, and of them John Wheehrright heM Unci ia
Momby. Frances Wray, a granddaughter of Sir William^ married iS IMO ^e '
Sir Harry Vane, a lifelong friend of Wheelwright.
1913] Thomas Levet of JExeter and Hampton 73
Deeds, 1685, p. 25.) The Grainsby transcripts for 1686-37 are missing.
Tliat of 1638 is signed "Radulphus Levet" and that of 1639 "Raph
Levet." The transcripts for 1640-48 are missing. In 1649 the signa-
ture is ** R. Levet, rector." The years 1650-63 are missing, and the year
1664 is signed by William Jackson. The transcripts show that on 6 July
1688 Thomas Levet was buried, and on 11 Dec. 1638 "Thomas Levet,
ion of Raph Levet and Ann his wife," was baptized. No record has been
found of this Ralph Levet after 1649. He was the father of Francis Levet
of Little Carlton, for whose marriage and children see p. 67 above.
Wheelwright was dismissed from his Bilsby vicarage in January 1632,
and in 1636, with a party of relatives and friends, sailed for New England.
What more natural than that Ralph Levett should entrust to his brother-
in4aw Wheelwright a near relative, perhaps his only nephew? John
Levett's answer to the bill in Chancerv shows that he and his brother
Thomas had borrowed £3000 from Dr. Berry on the Melton estates.
Evidently die family inheritance was beginning to go under the hammer
before 1640, in which year Sir John Melton and Sir Arthur Ingram died.
If then we assume that Ralph Levett of Grainsby did entrust a ilear
relative to his brother-in-law Wheelwright for the New England venture,
idiat was the exact degree of relationship? Let us analyze the family of
' Balph. His only brothers and sister were :
A. Thomas Levett, the oldest son and heir, baptized at Melton 8 July
1594. (Vide $upra,) My theory is that our Thomas Levet
was his son, bom in 1 61 6.
B. John, bom about 1605 (vide iupra) ; living in 1665 ; too young to
have been the father of our Thomas Levet
C* Peter, bom 1610-11. In Peile's Register we find that as the son
of Thomas Levett of Melton he was admitted pensioner at
Christ's College, Cambridge, 27 Jan. 1628/9. He had attended
the Rotherham School under Mr. Thomas Bonner. He pro-
ceeded B.A. 1632/3, M.A. 1636, and became vicar of Cantley,
near Doncaster, where he died in 1672. Perhaps in 1666 he
was vicar of Boynton, co. York. He was too young to have
been Uie father of our Thomas Levet.
D. Jane, bom 1607 ; married in 1627 Andrew Goodhand of Kirmond
in Lincolnshire, near Grainsby. His great-uncle Nicholas mar-
ried Judith Hameis, the sister of Thomas, who married Esther
Hutchinson. Jane Goodhand died in 1632, and is buried at
Melton.
In the next preceding generation of Melton Levctts we find that Thomas
Levetty the father of Ralph, had only the following brothers and sisters :
A. William Levett of Bentley, Yorkshire, bom 1574 ; married Eliza-
beth Vickars or Wray (widow probably of Thomas Sheppard), who
died 1635, leaving a will which mentions daughter Dorothy Shep-
mird, grandchild Thomas Sheppard, and nephew William Vickars.
William Levett himself died 1638. His will is not extant, but
his inquisition post mortem gives as his next heir his nephew
Thomas Levett of Tixover, and says that William Levett made
his will 14 May 1638; in it he left his lands to ''my cozen
Thomas Levet son of my brother Robert Levet" Apparently
he had no children and did not wish his lands to go to his spend-
ibnii nephew of Tixover*
74 Thomas Level of Exeter aiid Hampton [Jan.
B. Robert Levett of Normanton, Ix)rn 1576 ; married in 1605 Frances,
daughter of John Nalson of Snydale, a hamlet of Normanton.
His children are thus recorded on the Normanton register :
i. KATHRRnns, daughter of Robert Levett of Snjdale, bapt. 80 Jane
1607; d. 12 May IGIO.
ii. Thomas, son of Leavett of Suydale, bapt. 3 Sept. 1609.
iii. ELIZ.VBETH, daughter of Kobert Levett of Snydall, bapt. 21 July 1611.
iv. John, son of Robert Levett of Snydall, bapt. 21 Sept. 1613.
Y. Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Levett of Normauton, bapt. 9 Oct.
1617; bur. 8 Apr. 1625.
vl. Thomas, son of Robert Levett of Normauton, bapt. 1 May 1619.
He is said in Mr. Glbson-Culliun's Levett pedigree to have married
Joauna, daughter of John Jaciues of Epworth, co. Lincoln, aud to
have been tlie progenitor of the Normanton Levetts and Hansons.
vii. Marik, daughter of Robert Levett of Normanton, bapt. 3 Jnly 1621.
viii. Robert, son of Robert Levett of Normanton, bapt. 7 Nov. 1622 ;
bur. 19 Mar. 1625.
ix. Ralph, sou of Robert Levett of Normauton, bapt. 28 Aug. 1625 ; bur.
14 Oct. 1626.
z. Agnes, daughter of Robert Levett of Normanton, bapt. 15 April 1627 ;
bur. 29 July 1627.
xi. Jane, daughter of Robert Levett of Normanton, bur. 20 May 1627.
Robert Levett himself was buried at Normanton 26 Jan. 1655/6*
No will is extant. According to the records shown above he
had two sons named Thomas, of whom one was \wm in 1609, and
the other in 1619. If, as was sometimes the case, he had two
surviving sods named Thomas, it is possible that one of them
was our Thomas Levet ; but his brother William, in Ids will re-
ferred to above, leaves his land to Thomas, " son of my brother
Robert Levett of Normanton"; therefore in 1638 Robert had
apparently but one son Thomas.
C. Catherine Levett, born 1578 ; married William Strelley of Strelley.
D. Elizabeth Levett, boni ; married John Morley.
Apparently in this generation there are no possibilities for our Thomas
Levet, unless we assume that Robert had two surviving sons named
Thomas, and that one of them was our ancestor — a rather violent assump-
tion. The children of this generation would be cousins of Ralph Levett
of Grainsby.
Going back one generation, we find that Ralph Levett of Melton, the
grandfather of Ralph of Grainsby, had no brothers and but two sisters,
Anne and Jane. There are no possibilities here, and the relationship is
moved one dcCTee farther off.
William Levett of Normanton and Melton, the great-great-grandfather
of Ralph of Grainsby, married Elizal)eth, daughter and coheir of William
Wentworth of Sprotborough. No will is extant. His administration is
on tile at York. The son and heir, Nicholas Levett, born in 1524, sup-
lived his own son Ralph and died in 1598. We find no reconl of brothers
or sisters.
Tims in five generations of the Melton Levetts there is apparently bofc
one possibility for our Thomas Levet, namely : he may have been a soim.
of Thomas of Tixover and a nephew of Ralph of Grainsby, the brother-uk—
law of John Wheelwright. The dates for such a theory harmonize so welL,
and the probability of a Wheelwright aud AVent worth connection is
strong, that until proof to the contrary is shown I feel convinced that th
is our line. Could the wills of any of the four sons of Thomas Levett
1913] Thomas Levet of Exeter and Hampton 75
Melton be found, this theory might be confirmed or upset. But in spite
of a careful search at both principal and diocesan registries, no probate
proceedings for any of the four sons have been discovered. Probably
Thomas and Ralph Levett died during the confused Commonwealth period,
from 1650 to 1660. But John Levett was living in 1665, and Peter Levett,
we know, died in 1672.
In the exhaustive search for Levetts in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire I
desire to thank my friend Canon C. W. Foster, editor of the Lincoln Rec-
ord Society. Canon Foster's suggestions have been most helpful, and have
resulted in tracing the Melton Levetts into Lincolnshire. With his aid a
thorough search has now been made of Lincoln Subsidy Rolls, Wills and
Administrations, Institutions and Presentation Deeds, etc.
Among other early Levetts in New England the explorer, Capt. Chris-
topher Levett, whose life has been so ably written by Hon. James Phinney
Baxter for the Grorges Society, comes first. He bore the same arms as the
Melton Levetts, and the Visitation of Dorset in 1623 gives his pedigree
(2 Miseelkmea GenecUogica et Iferaldtca, vol. 2, p. 854). There may have
been a connection between the families, but Christopher was descended
not from the Melton Levetts, but from another line, the Levetts of Bolton
Percy.
The pedigree in the Visitation of Dorset began with " -^— Levett of
Harbord, co. York," who had three sons, Richard, William, and Percival.
This undoubtedly means Harewood, in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
William Levett of Harewood died in 1569. A Chancery proceeding was
begun by his oldest son Matthew in 1570 (Levett v. Levett, Series 2,
Bundle 116, No. 40). It recites that by his second wife William Levett
of Harewood left four sons, Richard, William, Percival, and Charles.
Tliesc are undoubtedly the sons of " Levett of Harbord," and Per-
cival was the godson and cousin of Francis Levet of Bolton Percy, men-
tioned in his will of 1614/15. William of Harewood was j)robably* the
Km William mentioned in the will of his father Richard of Bolton Percy
in 1567. This establishes the following pedigree :
1. Jomr Levett of Bolton Percy, whose will was proved 1526 (York
Wills, vol. 9, fo. 364), married Agnes .
Children :
i. William ; his will of 1546 mentions sons Ouy, Francis^ John.
ii. John, a clerk ; under 23 in 1526 ; admon. in 1575.
ill. ROBKRT.
I. iv. Richard, executor of his father's will.
V. ISABKL, m. Kkndall.
vi. Alison, m. Pickering.
2. Richard Levit, of Appleton in Bolton Percv, whose will was proved
1567 (York Wills, vol. 17, fo. 759), married first Ellen ;
and secondly Constance .
Children by first wife :
i. Hknrt, of Appleton ; will proved 1597.
8. ii. William.
iii. Katherine.
*Tliere was also a branch of the Levetts at Ilolme and Lund in the East Ridinff, in
which ilatthew and William were family namoH. It may be that William of Hare-
Wood came from this line, but their wills do not indicate* this, and the mention of a
f^<UoQ Percival Levet in the will of Francis Levet seems to connect the line of Chris-
^W with the Bolton Percy family.

1913] Thomas Level of Exeter and Hampton 77
Thus the line of Christopher Levett contained no near relative named
Thomas. It may be that our Thomas Levet was a distant connection, but
this is unlikely.
New information concerning Christopher Levett's last voyage to New
England is contained in a Chancery proceeding I)egun in 1631 by his
widow against Thomas Wright and Robert Gough of Bristol, owners of
the ship Porcupine, The proceedings give in detail the sailing agreement
■nd mention the grant of 6000 acres to Levett.
Concerning John Leavitt of Hingham, Mass., Mr. Sheldon Leavitt, Jr.,
writes that the earliest known record appears in Dorchester, Mass., where
in 1684 land was granted to him by the town. In 1636 he was made a
freeman of Hingham, where first a house-lot and in the course of time
much other land was granted to him. His first wife (possibly, according
to Pope, the Mary Lovitt of the Dorchester Church) died at Hingham
4 July 1646, and he married for his second wife, 16 Dec. 1646, Sarah,
daughter of Edward Gilman, then of Hingham, Mass., and later of Exeter,
N. H. For many years he was a deacon of the church at Hingham and
ft selectman of the town, which he represented for several sessions in the
General Court. He died in 1691, leaving a will, filed in Boston, in which
he calls himself " a tayler," and spells his name as above. Some of hi£
children moved to Exeter, and became the ancestors of a distinguished
family of Leavitts there, among whom was Dudley Leavitt, the compiler
of an excellent Farmer's Almanac. I can find no reason for believing
that any connection existed between these Leavitts and our Thomas Level.
Perhaps John Leavitt came from the Essex Levitts, for whom see the
next paragraph.
The affidavit of Nathaniel and* Abraham Drake {vide mpra) has led
§ome to believe that our Thomas Levet, like his wife Isabel Bland, came
from CO. Essex. In Essex there were several families of Levitts, one of
iHiich, the Levitts of Messing, had some connection with New England
through the Whites. (Register, vol. 55, pp. 22 etseq.) It may be that
John Leavitt of Dorchester and Hingham came from one of these Essex
lines, but a careful search of Essex wills reveals no Thomas Levet who
eoold be our Exeter settler.
Thus a systematic investigation of these three sets of clues gives no posi-
tive proof of the ancestry of our Thomas Levet of Exeter and Hampton.
The most probable line is that of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, connected
irtth both Wheelwright and Wentworth.
But if Levet were a prot^g^ of John Wheelwright, he did not follow the
Antinomian to Wells in 1642. The removal of their pastor scattered the
Exeter settlers in that year, and in 1 643 we find Thomas Levet at Hamp-
ton, next neighbor to Exeter, where his name is signed to a petition against
lienL William Howard.
The list of grants and possessions in the old Hampton town reconls, made
iboQt 1644, in the beautiful handwriting of William Howard, the town clerk,
*^8 that before that date Thomas Levet had married Isabel ( Bland) ,
^Uow of Francis Asten of Dedham and Hampton. The record follows :
0- 68. House lots and other ground granted &c. unto the several inhabitanti
of Hampton, compiled Anno 1644.

The Norfolk County record of the birth of James Levet in 1652 calls
him ^' son of Thomas and Elisabeth Levitt," but this is a clerical enory
repeated in Pope's Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire. We may
Bafely assume that the only wife of our Thomas Levet was Isabel Bland^
daughter of John Bland of Watertown and Martha's Vineyard. John
Bland was a stepson of Jeremiah Norcross, and his mysterious alias of.
'* John Smith " has been explained by Dr. Charles E. Banks, in his Hif^
tory of Martha's Vineyard, vol. 2, pp. 41-46. It is possible that John
Bland and the Hampton Drakes were of Yorkshire origin.
The old pronunciation of the family name was Lovitt. In spelling it
our Thomas Levet seems to have used interchangeably " Levet," ** Levitt,**
and " Levit." These are the forms in which the name of Ralph Levett
of Grainsby appears : " Levet " when he signed his name, " Levitt " when
others wrote it. In the case of our Thomas Levet the uncertainty of
Colonial orthography is increased by the fact that apparently he could not
write, and always signed by a mark, so that his name was 8{)ellcd and
written by some one else. It is " Le\dtt " in the Exeter Combination,
written by his relative Wlieelwright, and also in the record of a deed in
1659, in the "Wheelwright Deed," the Hampton record of 1644, and the
Drake deposition. In signatures of 1654 and 1657 and in the Martha't
Vineyard power of attorney it is " Levit." In the testimony in Drake v.
Colcord, 1076, and a jury verdict of 1680 it is " Levet," and so distinctly
in the wills of both Tliomas and Isabel. In the Hampton petition of 1643
it was proba1)ly also " Levet " ; a copy of this petition is in tlie Massa-
chusetts Archives, and in it the scrivener has spelled the name " Livet."
In 1647, when Wheelwright was called to the Hampton church, Thomas
Levet was already there. He lived in Hampton until his death in 1696,
a quiet, useful citizen, seldom prominent in town matters. He was i)erhapt
a tanner, though the only deed from him in the old records describes him
as a ^* planter." Ho appears in 1654 with Robert Smith as an appraiser
of the estate of George Haborne or Rabone, who was one of the AMied-
wriglit group and probably a Lincolnshire man. In 1 657 Thomas Level
and Godfrey Dearborn witnessed the will of Susan, widow of Greorge
Haborne and then the wife of Tlioraas Leader of Boston. Dearborn, who
followed Levet from Exeter to Hampton, was a Lincolnshire man»
(Re(jistkr, vol. 60, p. 308.) Level's stepdaughter Isabel married Philip
Towle,* who came to Hampton when Wheelwright was there.
* Towlc was probably a Lincolnshiro man, perhaps from Habrough. Many Towl^
wills are filed at Lincoln, bat they throw no light on his ancestry. Seventf Towltt^
are still living in Lincolnshire.
1913] Thomas Level of Exeter and Hampton 79
Thomas Levet served as selectman of Hampton in 1657 and 1667, and
was constable in 1664. He served on several juries, and took the oath of
allegiance to Massachusetts in 1678. He was "freed from Training" in
1681, probably on account of age or disability. In 1683, with eighteen
others, he signed a petition that their poll-tax l>e abated, because of old
age, " many alx)Ut seventy, some above eighty, others near ninety, lx*ing
past lalwur and work." In 1685 he signed Weare's petition against Cran-
field. Tlie Dukes County records show a power of attorney dated 1 6 Apr.
1691 from Tliomas and Isabel Levet to their son John, authorizing hiui to
deal with Isabel's share of the Bland estates in Martha's Vineyard. Ap-
parently some dispute between John Levet and another coheir, Elias, son
of Philip Watson, was settled by a division in 1690. John Levet*s name
in subsequent conveyances of the Vineyard land is spelled " Levit," " Lovet,"
and " Leavit." Tliomas Levet diwl 28 Nov. 1696, " aged about* eighty,"
the town record says, and his will and inventory are on file at Concord,
K. H. (Probate Records, vol. 2, p. 26, and vol. 3, p. 125.) An abstract

5. James' Levet (77bma«^), bom 10 Nov. 1652, died at Portsmouth,
N. EL, 4 Apr. 1718, and is buried in the Point of Graves Cemetery
there. He married about 1692 Sarah Partridge, widow of
Nehemiah of Salisbury and Portsmouth, a brother of Grovemor
William Partridge. Her maiden name does not appear, but she was
a kinswoman of Anthony EUins, an early settler of Portsmouth,
who in 1 668 conveyed land at Portsmouth to Nehemiah Partridge
and his wife Sarah, ^* my kinswoman."
Little has been known of James Levet, perhaps because he left
no children, but he was the richest of his family. In 1668, at the
age of sixteen, he removed to Portsmouth, then the most aristo-
cratic settlement in the new province. There he was the clerk of
Henry Bering, a Portsmouth merchant, and before that a tavern-
keeper at Hampton. Bering soon removed to Boston, but James
Levet remained at Portsmouth. His name was generally spelled
'^ Lovet," that being the usual pronunciation of the name. He
was selectman of Portsmouth in 1696/7 and again in 1708, deputy
sheriff in 1694, coroner in 1697, and constable in 1706. In 1705
he was overseer of the will of Roger Rose. His will, dated 1 Apr.
1718 (N. H. Wills, vol. 10, p. 6), leaves all his property to his
wife Sarah, and is witnessed by Thomas .Beck, Jr., Elizabeth Fur-
ber, and Ann Bam. The widow Sarah Levet made her will 10
Nov. 1733 (N. H. WUls, vol. 14, p. 421), leaving bequests to
grandsons Nehemiah Partridge and William Partridge, to grand-
daughters Sarah Mc Bride and Abigail Chapman, to great-grand-
daughters Sarah Partridge and Abigail Partridge, to Sarah Braugh-
ton, daughter of Abigail Chapman, to greatrgranddaughter Sarah
Beck, to granddaughter Mary Beck, to Mary, wife of Nehemiah
Partridge, and to Mary, wife of William Partridge. The residue
she left to Samuel Beck, who had married Mary Partridge. Her
inventory is a long one and includes a silver tankard.
ROBERT HUCKINS OF THE DOVER COMBINATION
AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS
By Hbnut Winthrop Habdon, A.M., LL.B , of New York Citj
L Robert* Huokins was bom probably in Devonshire or Cornwall
iboat 1620.* He is first mentioned in any American record which has
come to light as one of the forty-two signers of the Dover Combination,
dited 22 Oct. 1640 (Register, vol. 83, p. 93). Ip 1641 he was in that
pirt of Dover then called Oyster River and now called Durham, and he
lined the letter of the inhabitants of Northam, as Dover was then called,
€11641 to the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony protesting against
ttnekation to that Colony (N. H. State Papers, vol. 1, p. 128). In 1642
he hftd a grant of a twenty-acre lot. No. 16, on the Back River (Reqistrr,
^L 7, p. 156, and vol. 33, p. 96). His name appears in none of the Dover
Ux lists, and this affords room for the inference that his estate was em-
plojed in catching, caring, or transporting fish, and was thus exempt from
taxation (Hutchinson, vol. 1, p. 90, ed. 3).
* Ko rclAtionihip has been discoyered between the family of Robert Huckins and
iWt of Thomas Huckius, an early settler on Cape Cod. The compiler asks all readers
vho may haTe farther information about any or the persons mentioned in this compi-
mn to send it to him at 60 Wall Street, New York City.
82 Descendants of Robert Huchins [Jan.
" Old Mr. Huckins " was killed by the Indians at Oyster River 18 July
1694, according to Pike's Journal (Register, vol. 83, p. 96; Quint's
Dover, pp. 81, 274, 277 ; Belknap's History, p. 138). The name of his
wife has not been found.
Children, born probably at Oyster River :
2. i. James,^ b. abt. 1644.
ii. Sarah, b. 1654 (Reoistkr, vol. 7, p. 156).
Probably others of whom no record has been found.
2. Lieut. James^ Huckins (Robeii}), husbandman and miller, was bom
probably at Oyster River, Dover, doubtless as early as 1644, for in
1664 he was taxed (Register, vol. 4, p. 249).
He married, probably about 1671 {ib., vol. 7, p. 121), Sarah'
BuRNHAM, daughter of Robert^ and Frances (N. H. Deeds, vol.
107, pp. 357, 359 ; N. H. Gen. Record, vol. 5, p. 190). She was
born at Oyster River about 1654, for she deposed 31 Dec. 1673,
"about 19 years of age" (N. H. Court Papers, 1672-8, p. 395).
She married secondly, 17 Oct. 1700, Capt. John* Woodman (Lieat.
Edward^) of Oyster River, who had been received as an inhabitant
in 1657 (Quint's Dover, p. 33; Hoyt's Old Families of Salisbury
and Amesbury, p. 366), and became successively commissioner,
1G58, representative, 1684, delegate, 1690, and judge of Common
Pleas, 1702-5 (Register, vol. 9, p. 145). She is not mentioned
in his will of 20 Dec. 1705 (N. H. State Papers, vol. 31, p. 545),
and was probably then dead.
In 1676 Lieut. James Huckins was constable (Quint's Dover,
p. 14), and in 1687 he was one of the two selectmen for Oyster
Rivur l*arish {ib,, p. 3).
He had a garrison-house, which 8too<l in the outskirts of the
Oyster River settlement, a few rods south of the house owneil in
1'J08 bv Andrew E. Meserve, east of the railroad and on the north
bide of the second road crossed bv the railroad as it runs from Dur-
hum siiition to Dover. In Aug. 1689 the Indians ambushed and
slew him and seventeen men belonging to the garrison while they
weri) at work in the field which belonged in 1908 to the widow ci
Joseph W. Coe, and lay south-east of the garrison beyond lluckins'i
Eruok. There they were all buried under a mound, which in 1908
titill (\ Is ted in th(i south-east corner of the lield. The Indians then at-
tacked the garrison-house, which was defended by two boys only
and S(»me women and children. They managed to set fire to the
root of the garrison, hut the boys — " brave boys truly," savi
jMatlu r — held out till the Indians promised to spare the lives of all.
Yet they killed three or four of the children and carried away the
rebt of the inmates, except one of the boys, doubtless Roberf
lluokius, who escaped the next day. (Mather's Magualia, App*
Art. vi. ; Rk(;istek, vol. 7, p. loG; N. H. Gen. Record, vol. S,
p. fc-U.) The garrison-house was destroyed (Thompson's LandmarkSy
J). i7o, note 2). Lieut. Huckins's widow was recovered after »
vear of (viptivitv at Fort Androsco^'ffin.
Chiidnn, born at Oyster River (Register, vol. 7, p. 121):

rectly transcribed, says *• Sarali."

of Capt. John* of Oyster River, who m. (2) Thompson of
Oyster River (Memoir of Jndge Ebenezer Thompson, p. 7, note).
Probably others, none of whom survived the massacre of 1689.
3. Bobert' Huckins (James,* RoherO), yeoman, miller, born in Oyster
River Parish, Dover, about 1672, married about 1692 Welth£An'
Thomas, daughter of James^ and Martha' (Goddard) (N. H. Deeds,
vol. 17, pp. 53, 55; N. H. State Papers, vol. 81, pp. 101, 138;
N. H. Court Papers, 1692-3, pp. 149, 191, 243, 247-^, 353 ; N. H.
Gen. Record, vol. 5, p. 190). She was bom at Dover and married
secondly, before 1 Apr. 1727, John Gray (Register, vol. 33, p.
846).
Robert Huckins doubtless rebuilt the garrison-house on or near
the old site. In 1701 he had a mill on Huckins's Brook, east of the
house (Thompson's Landmarks, p. 109). In 1698, as "eldest son
and heir of James Huckins, the only son and successor of Robert
Huckins, deceased,'' he conveyed 6 acres on Cocheco Marsh which
had been granted to Robert^ Huckins in 1648 (N. H. Deeds, vol. 6,
p. 206). In 1705 he had administration upon the estate of " Robert
Huckins, his grandfather" (N. H. State Papers, vol. 31, p. 545).
He was successively selectman, assessor, and constable at Dover.
He was baptized 17 Jan. 1719/20, in his last sickness (Register,
ToL 30, p. 59). His will, dated 9 Jan. and proved 2 Mar. of that
year, mentions his wife Welthean and all his children, and his
brother-in-law James Bunker, who had married Anne' Thomas,
sister of Robert's wife (N. H. Probate Records, vol. 6, p. 162).
The inventory includes his homestead of 70 acres, 30 acres of wood-
land, one-eighth of a saw-mill at Webster's Falls, and 4 guns, the
whole amounting to £606. 14. 0.

(Rev. John Adams's record). He was killed in the French and
Indian War, 1755-63 (Quint's Dover, p. 263 ; Halls of New lEsi^

By his father's will he received '< all my land on the south side
of the [Dover] highway with the houses and buildings thereon,**
30 acres, opposite the site of the garrison-house.
In 1740 he was a member of the Second Foot Company at Dover
(N. H. State Papers, vol. 9, p. 175). In 1755 he was in Tasker't

•Itfdl be held on the first Wednesday in February of each year in Boston, notice
of which shall be sent to Resident and Life Members by the Recording Secre-
tary, one week in advance."
The paper of the afternoon was by Bev. William Elliot Griffls, D.D., L.H.D.,
of Ithaca, N. Y. Dr. Griffls, making use of stercopticon slides, spoke first of
oonditions in Holland, social, economic, and religious, and then showed how
^Uie results of these conditions were and still arc found in the States of New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. He commented on the manner
In which the early history of the Dutch in New York has been perverted by
tonfldence being placed in Irving*s delineation, which was written as a burlesque
tad not as history.
At the close of the meethig refreshments were served to the large number
ptttent.
2 October. A stated meeting of the Society was held at Pilgrim Hall, 14 Bea-
ttn Street, at 2.30 p.m., President Baxter presiding.
The minutes of the May meeting were approved, and the reports of the Li-
knritn, Corresponding Secretary, and Historian were accepted.
The resignation of Mrs. Adeline F. Fitz as a member of the Council was
iBBooDced.
Forty-two resident members were elected by ballot.
The Committee in memoriam Capt. Grcorge Augustus Gordon, through its
^^itinnan, Samuel Merrill, submitted the following report, which was ordered
2|^ed, and it was also voted that a copy be sent to the family of Capt.
The New England Historic Genealogical Society places npon its records this testi-
*^^ to the gmt personal worth of one who was for years active in the Society's
86 Proceedings of the N. E. Hist. Oen. Society [Jan.
affairs, aud to the fidelitF and rare intelligence with which for eeventeen years h«
performed the duties of Recording Secretary.
As a member Capt. Gordon possessed in a hish degree interest in the subject* for
the study of which the Society was formed, liis own work in this field began in hia
boyhood, and ended only with his life. He inspired in others greater seal in gene^
logical research, and assisted many by helpful suggestions. As an officer he was
painstaking and systematic, and the records of the Society as he left them are a modal

future members tlio
important part he took in the conduct of it^ a£hirs, and for this service the Sooialjy
win ever remain his debtor.
Capt. Gordon was born in Dover, N. H., July 17, 1827, and died in Somerrille MayS.
1912. After graduation from Dartmouth College he adopted Uie profession of cifU
engineer, and was active as such in the construction of cotton mills in LawronoSt
Manchester, and Lcwiston. Later, in charge of mines in Georgia, North Carolinav
aud Virginia, he continued his service in the same profession. Always entertaining
positive views on every public question, Capt. Gordon found in ioumalism, however,
wider opportunities to make his influence felt, and as an editor ne engaged zealonslj
in the political conflict which culminated in the Civil War. He was a firm believer in
the doctrine of States* Rights, and as an editor of newspapers in the North and in the
South he promulgated his beliefs with characteristic vigor. His ancestor, Alexander
Gordon, a Scotch Highlander, fought for the Royalist cause in the English Civil War,
and was sent to New England as a prisoner of war by Cromwell. George Augostos
Gordon in his turn, when the American Civil War began, fought with mnsket as ki
had fought with pen for a cause which he believed to be right. He was mmmissfo— d
captain in the Confederate Army, and for more than two years wore the nnifonn of
gray.
Capt. Gordon was a member of the New Ens^land Historic Genealogical Society fbr
thirty-flve years; he was recording secretary rrom 1893 to 1910, and a member or the
Council at the time of his death. In all the relations of his life, whether in the Soele^
or in the broader flelds in which his earlier years were spent, his keen sense of right
made him faithful to every obligation, and this fidelity was never shaken by motivts
of expediency or selfishness. This tribute is justly duo from a Society with whose
interests he was for many years closely associated.
Mr. Cliarles S. Jackson, Principal of the English High School, Lynn, read ft
paper ou The Old- Time Gateway of the North. This is the region betTveenthe
Hudson River and Lake Champlain, which was a route of travel even before the
advent of Europeans. The speaker localized many of the stirring historical iih
cldents, aud illustmted his paper with stereopticon slides which he had made
of the beautiful scenery.
On motion of Rev. Dr. Arthur W. H. Eaton, it was
Voted, That the Society expresses to Mr. Jackson its thanks for the eaioj-
able papiT, in wliicli so many historic facts have been presented with poetic
grace and with the added charm of personal enthusiasm.
After ailjournmeut at -1 r.M. refreshments were served.
6 November. A stated meeting of the Society was held at Pilgrim Hall,
14 Beacon Street, at 2.30 p.m., John Carrolf Chase, Vice-President from New
Hamp&ihire, presiding;.
The mihutes of the October meeting were approved, and the reports of IIm
Libraiian, Corresponding Secretary, Hibtorian, and Council were accepted.
On reconimondution of the Council, the following vote in amplification and
amendment of a similar vote passed 8 April, regarding a mortgage on the So-
ciety's building, was adopted, a quorum being present and voting :
Vottd, To authorize the President and tlic Treasurer to borrow on behalf of
the Society a sum or sums not exceeding in the aggregate eighty-five thoaaand
(85,000) dollars, and to give the note or notes of the Society therefor payable

The paper of the afternoon was read by Mr. Charles Edward Mann, Clerk of
Ibe Massachnsetts Board of Railroad Commissioners, and was entitled From
tk§ Stage-Coach to the PaHor-Car. The address was replete with incidents, in-
fofination, and extracts fi-om the records concerning transportation facilities
in the old days. Bev. Mr. Titus, in moving a vote of thanks, spoke of the fact
tliat many members of the Massachusetts Legislature, after attending the obse-
quies of President John Adams of Quincy, visited the Quincy railroad in order
to wtisfy themselves that a railroad was possible.
The tellers reported the election of the following as members of the Nomi-
■mng Committee : Francis Noyes Balch, Lawrence Brainerd, Edmund IngersoU
Leeds, Charles Edward Mann, Mary Ella Stickney.
At 8.50 the meeting adjourned.
NOTES
It having oome to the attention of this Society that certain
nnealogistii and publishers have used the name of the Society
m oonneotion with their own enterprises, the Society again de-
flres to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
oountry or in England, nor is it in anv way connected with any
poblioations other than those that it Issues over its own name
it 9 Ashburton riaoe, Boston.
The Oommittee on English Besearch desires to state, however.
fhtiZ although the Society has no official representative in England
liie Oommittee is employing Miss French lor a part of her time as
a aaaroher of records there along special lines for the benefit of the
Parkntaob or Ml^s. Bebbcca (Parker) Husk.— Rebecca Parker Hnse died
si Barvard, Mass., 14 Sept. 1869. • In the town record of her death It Is alleged
fbat she was a daughter of Ebenezer and Dinah Parker and that her age was
104 years, 2 months, and 12 days. On her grayestone her age Is flven as 108
years. This note records the results of a search for the parents of Mrs. Huse,
a discussion of her probable age at death being purposely omitted.
Several writers hare presented evidence to show that the father of Mrs. Huse
was a soldier in the Revolution. (See Boston Evening Traveller^ October 27,
1S66; Fitchburg Sentinel^ July 27, 1867; Green's Oroton HUtoriccU Series, vol.
S, pp. 108, 481 ; also Green's Faet$ relating to the History of Oroton, recently
piiblished, p. 166.) Dr. Green suggests that Mrs. Huse was a daughter of Oliver
and Eunice Parker, bom at Groton 22 Nov. 1760. One Oliver Parker of Groton
was a soldier in the Revolution, but no one of his daughters was named Rebecca.
Oliver Parker, father of the Rebecca who was bom at Groton 22 Nov. 1760, re-
Boved about 1770 to Stoddard, N. H. He was not a soldier in the Revolution.
Od the contrary, he was a Tory, and fled from the country during the war. We
■nut seek elsewhere for the father of Mrs. Huse.
Eleazer Parker married at Hollis, N. H., 8 Feb. 1763, Dinah Famsworth. It
Is a firm tradition among their descendants that after marriage they lived a few
yesrs at Groton, and it is on record that In 1774 and early in 1775 they were re-
lldbig at Plymouth, N. H. He was one of fifty- three residents of Plymouth

he did not accompany them. It is probable that he had joined the army. His

Ibey were duly warned. The warrant was issued 28 Aug. 1775, reciting that

1777 to 14 Apr. 1780. About 1800 he removed from Harvard to Bloomfield, Me.,
where he was living as late as 1834. In his application for a pension, in 1818,
he says that he is 77 years of age, that he served three years in Capt. Joshok
Brown's company of Col. Timothy Blgelow's regiment, and that he was then •
resident of Harvard. In a supplementary statement, in 1820, he names his wife
Dinah, and states that she is 78 years of age. While in the service, his name
on one company roll is written ^^ Ebeneze^ Parker." His application for a pei^

Aybrs Bible Records.— The following entries are found in an old famOy
Bible now in my possession. Comparison with some town records proves that
it belonged to John Aycrs of Portsmonth, N. H., whose wife was Mary Honk*

ability that John Ayers was a son of Edward and Alice Ayers ; her gravestoot
exists in the Portsmouth ^^ Point of Graves," and is recorded in Locke's FM^
mouth and Newcastle Cemetery Inscriptions, p. 8, and in New Hampshire €fme^

The John Adams referred to was son of Jeremy Adams, one of the original
proprietors of Hartford ; for him and his descendants see Register, vol. 59,
pp. 815-320. The Richard Risley who deposes that he married one of the daugh-
tera of John Adams was a son of Richard Risley, another of the original
proprietors of Hartford. Prom other documents we learn that Richard Risley
nuunrled the daughter Rebecca, Edward Higbee of Huntington, L. I., the daugh-
ter Abigail, and John Brush of Huntington, L. I., the daughter Sarah. Up to
this time even the name of the wife of Richard Risley has been unknown, as
witness the Risley Genealogy, p. 42.
Both Jeremy Adams and his son John had grants of land at what became Col-
dieater, from the General Court of Connecticut, and the document given above
was offered in evidence by the Adams heirs in a dispute over title with the town
of Colchester.

jKsnoNS. — In the Register, vol. 66, p. 272, I confused four people named
Mary, each of whom was the wife of a Joel Jenkins. Joel' Jenkins married
three times instead of once, as stated. He married secondly (intention recorded
18 Jan. 1720/1) Mary Hamet or Harvell of Maiden. By some unaccountable slip
I credited Uiis maniage to his son Joel,^ who was too young for marriage at
that thne. That the latter married a Mary, however, is shown by his will, and
in Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 66, p. 260, and vol. 47, p. 481, is proof that the
Mary who married Samuel Graves was Mary, widow of Joel, Jr., and not of Joel,
8r. Joel,* the father, married thirdly, 6 Apr. 1733, Mary, widow of Dea. Thomas
Taylor (Middlesex Co. Probate Files, No. 22,241) and daughter of Samuel and
Mary Damon (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 25, p. 676). Her son or grandson,
Tltomas Taylor, was appointed administrator of her estate 10 Feb. 1767. (Mid-
^Bmcx Co. Probate Records, vol. 44, p. 77.)

The Ancestry of Roger Williams. — In Book Notes, a publication edited by
Mr. Sidney S. Kider of Providence, R. I., under date of May 25, 1912, there is
an article entitled The Ancestry of Boger Williams, now for the flrst time a^
curate.ly and conclusively shown. In this article, which covers some seven
closely-printed pages, Mr. Rider attempts to overthrow both Mrs. Bates's state-
ments and my own statements on the matter in hand, and ends by arriving at
exactly the same conclusion as that reached by me in an article in the JVeiot-
Sheet for April 1, 1912 ! Basing his argument upon a Chancery case, of whoee
existence tlie eminent genealogist, Henry F. Waters, Esq., was aware in 1889,
and which he recommended at that time for examination, Mr. Rider decides that
Boger Williams of Providence was a son of James and Alice (Pemberton)
Williams and a brother of Sidrach Williams of London. This is exactly the
conclusion which I accepted in the article in the News-Sheet and which Mr.
Waters made known some twenty-three years ago, although much to his regret
his work for the New England Historic Grcnealogical Society did not allow him
at that time to undertake "a special investigation in the matter. (Rbgistkr, voL
43, pp. 290-303, July, 1889.) This Chancery case of 15 Aug. 1644, upon which
alone Mr. Rider bases his argument, does not by itself prove anything in regud
to ttie ancestry of Roger Williams, but it adds another strong link to the cSats
of evidence so ably forged by Mr. Waters.
Mr. Rider lias failed to give an exact copy of the most important part of the
Chancery proceedings, although he quotes the rest of the case at length. In hii
article (Book Notes, vol. 29, p. 87) he writes : '' In April 16-35 [probably meant
by Mr. Rider for April 16, 1635] he [Williams] refused to swear to an oath be*
fore a magistrate in Court. It was the same thing done by the Roger Williams be-
fore tlie magistrate of the Chancery Court in Ix>ndon in August 1644.** This re*
fusal on the part of Roger Williams to take oath is by far the most important
point in the case, next to the fact that Roger and Sidrach are shown to be aaam
of Alice Williams. The desirability of having an exact quotation of the words
1918]
2rote$ 91
of the Chancery proceeding relating to this refusal la apparent when one reads
the following passage in the Rbgistbr, vol. 48, p. 801 : ^* In his ^ Gteorge Fox'
fpage 418), speaking of Judicial oaths, Williams refers to ^ cases that have be-
fallen myself in the Chancery in England &c. and of tiie loss of great smna
which I chose to bear throagh the Lord's help (rather) than yield to the for-
mality (then and still in use) in God's worship ; though I offered to swear as
F. H. mentions they have done, and the judges told me they would rest in my
testimony and way of swearing, but they could not dispense with me without
an act of parliament.' "
Mr. Rider is entitled to credit for having followed up the Chancery suit, as
was suggested by Mr. Waters, and for having thus added another link in this
chain of evidence ; but in view of the facts disclosed by Mr. Waters in 1889,
aome twenty-three years ago, he cannot justly claim that he has ^^ now for the
flrst time accurately and conclusively shown " the ancestry of Roger Williams.
All, however, must concede that Roger Williams of Flx>vidence was son of
James and Alice Williams and brother of Sidrach Williams.
In regard to Roger Williams of Virginia, there were two persons of the name
who emigrated to that colony, but neither of them could have been the Roger
who was brother of Sidrach Williams of London. One of these was Roger
Williams, a servant, who came in the Southampton in 1622, aged 20 (Hotten's
Original Lists, p. 23S). As Roger, brother of Sidrach Williajns, was made over-
•eer of the will of Ralph Wlghtman of London, dated 27 Dec. 1628 and proved 9
Feb. 1628/9 (Rboistkr, vol. 48, p. 298), he could not have been in Virginia at
that time. The other Roger Williams embarked for Virginia in the Constance^
fi Oct. 1685, aged 19 (Hotten, p. 187), and he is clearly not the Roger who was
Mm of James and Alice Williams, for on 1 Aug. 1684 the latter was ^^ bevond
the seas" with a wife and daughter (Will of Alice Williams, Rbgister, vol. 48,
p. S92).
In the Herts OenealogUt and Antiquary^ vol. 8, p. 242, in an article entitled
JNmberUm of 8U AlhanM, is found an Indenture, datiod 10 Jan. 7 James I (1610/
11) between Roger Pemberton of St. Albans, Gent., his son John, and Jamea
Wflliams, citizen and merchant of London, on the one part, and William Angell,
cttixen and baker of London, and Robert Angell, citizen and merchant of Lon-
don, on the other part, for certain lands for the use of John Pemberton and
Xatherine Angell for their lives. For the marriage of John Pemberton and
Katherine An^ see Ifewi-Sheet^ April 1, 1912.

HON. JOSEPH BURBEEN WALKER, A.M.
By Fbanklut Benjamin Sanborn, A.B., of Concord, Mass.
Joseph Bubbeex Walker might be described under many ap-
pellations, all honorable to himself, but in regard to the subjects of
our Society's research, history and genealogy, he was both an his-
torian of much learning, industry, and facility of communication,
and in liimself an historical antiquity of New Hampshire. This
characterization of him is warranted by the peculiar circumstances
of his birth, genealogy, residence, and life-long connection with the
history, the jurisprudence, and the charitable and civilizing insti-
tutions of that State, at whose capital he was born, lived, and died.
Ilis great-grandfather, Itev. Timothy Walker, born at Woburn,
Mass., 27 July 1705, son of Samuel and Judith (Howard) Walker
of Wobum, grandson of Dea. Samuel and Sarah (Reed) Walker
of Wobnm, and great-grandson of Samuel Walker of Reading and
later of Wobum,* was graduated at Ilarvanl (-olloge in 1725, and
was the first settled minister of Concord, N. II., while it was known
by its earlier names of Penacook and Rumford. That was his only
parish, and there he labore<l from 1730 to his death, 1 September
1782. He married, 12 Xovcmbcr 1730, Sarah, daughter of James
and Mary Burbecn of Wobum and granddaughter of John Burbeen,
a native of Scotland, who came to Woburn as earlv as ll)(I0. She
was bom 17 June 1701 and died 11) February 1778.t
Rev. Timothy Walker's only son Timothy was born at Concord
2() June 1737 and die<l there 5 May l>^'2'2. He was graduated at
Harvard in 1756, studied theology, and preachcMl for some ten years,
W was never settled as a minister over any parish. At the time
of the Revolution he held a oonunis.sion as colonel in the New Ilanip-
«'fc Militia and was a prominent patriot, and from 1777 to \S0\)
lie was a justice of the Court of Common IMeas. He married his

cousin Susannah, daughter of his uncle, Rev. Joseph Burbeen of
Wobum, and his wife Esther (Pool) . She was bom 11 April 1746
and died 28 September 1828.
Among the fourteen children of Hon. Timothj and Susannah
(Burbeen) Walker the youngest son was Joseph, who was bom at
Concord 12 January 1782 and died 3 !Mardi 1833. He was a cap-
tain in the New Hampshire jVIilitia, and married, 22 March 1820,
Ann Sawyer, bom 21 June 1786, daughter of Dea. Moses and Ann
(Fitz) Sawyer of Salisbury, Mass., and a descendant of William
Sawyer of Salem, Wenham, and Newbury, Mass.*
Upon the home-lot of his worthy ancestor. Rev. Timothy Walker,
and in the house of his father, Capt. Joseph Walker, Joseph Bur-
been Walker, named for his other clerical great-grandfather, Joseph
Burbeen, was bom, 12 June 1822. On that estate, which he in-
herited, he lived all his life ; and there, in the earlier house of Par-
son Walker, he died, 8 January 1913, at past the patriarchal age
of ninety.
His mother, Ann (Sawyer) Walker, died 25 December 1824,
before he had attained the age of three years, and his father died
when the boy was only ten ; but his inherited estate was carefully
managed by his guardian, Richard Bradley, and after attending the
Concord schools as a boy, he was sent in 1838 as a lad of sixteen
to Phillips Exeter Academy, where be graduated in 1841, and im-
mediately entered Yale College, graduating there in 1844. In the
meantime, in 1839, on the advice of the celebrated siirgeon, Dr.
William Perry of Exeter, he intermitted study there, and at the age
of seventeen went South for the winter of 1839-40, traversing the
southern Atlantic States to Charleston, S. C, and after some time
there, going on to Savannah and Cuba. His health and his knowl-
edge of mankind were improved by this early experience of travel,
and when, fifty years later, he went to visit his married daughter,
Mrs. Charles M. Gilbert, at Savannah, he was a guest at the same
Charleston hotel at which he had resided in 1839-40.
In 1844-45 he studied law for a time at the Harvard Law School,
Init completed his law studies in tlie office of Hon. Qiarles Henry
Peaslee of Concord, a congressman from New Hampshire, and one
of the most active advocates in the Democratic party of the establish-
ment of the excellent Asylum for the Insane at Concord. Of thifli
institution Mr. Walker became a trustee in 1847, at the age of
twenty-five, and continued as one of the trustees for sixty years.
Mr. Walker was admitted to the New Hampsliire bar in March
1847, but in 1853 he gave up the practice of law, having inherited
the Parsonage fann, a very large one, which be carried on scienti-
fically and profitably for many years, being also bank director, rail-
road director, and an active participant in the political affairs of his

native city and state. He served on the CoicoKd School Board
and on the Board of Aldermen. In 1866, as amember of the New
Hampshire House of Kepresentativcs, he reported th^ bill establish-
ing the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and thQ* Mechanic
Arts, and secured its passage, and he waa a trustee orchis institu-
tion for many years. In 1883 he began a long period of active
service on the Board of Forestry Commissioners, and he*w4er^a
member and at one time the president of the Board of Agricuitii^:;
In 1889 he was a member of the New Hampshire Constitutional .-
Convention, and in the fall of 1892 he was elected to the Stat^'-/
Senate.
While still a very young man he manifested a lively interest in
historical matters. Ever after 1845 he was an active member of
the New Hampshire Historical Society, serving as its librarian for
five years (1845-50), its recording secretary for four years (1849-
53), its vice-president, and finally its president for two years
^1866-68). He lived to see it established in the year 1912,
tnrough the munificence of one of its members, Edward Tuck of
Exeter and Paris, in a noble hall, in which, perhaps, some of his
valuable records and family portraits may find shelter.
These portraits, along with views and landscapes in Germany,
were left to Mr. Walker, her cousin and one of her business agents,
by the last Countess Rumford, Sarah Thompson, at her death at
Concord late in 1852. They include three portraits of Count Rum-
ford (an oil-painting, taken in London about 1783, representing
him in the uniform of a British colonel ; another, by the German
artist Kellerhofer, painted in Munich about 1797 ; a third, the most
cherished by his daughter, taken in colored chalk by Lane in
1809) ; a portrait in oil of the Countess Sarah, and another of
Capt. Lefevre, supposed to be her half-brother ; portraits in oil of
the Countess Baumgarten, mother of Count Kumford's alleged
daughter, Sophy, and of her only sister, the Countess Nogarola;
and a colored-chalk portrait of the Baroness de Kalbe. There are,
bendes, German water-color landscapes, presented to Count Rumford
for his services in keeping Munich clear of the allied armies ; views
m the English Garden at Munich, a creation of Rumford's ; a pen-
cil-sketch of his friend, Pictet, the naturalist ; and an engraving of
Baron Hompesch. I have omitted the most stately of all, Kcller-
kofer's oil-portrait of the Elector of Bavaria, Karl Theodor, in a
fine frame. These remain in the ancient house of the Walker fam-
ily tt Concord.
The Rolfe house, built for the Count's first wife, Mrs. Rolfe, at
«€ time of her marriage to Col. Rolfe, was occupied by her and
Maj. Thompson, after her second marriage in 1772, till Thompson
Wk Concord in the late autumn of 1774, in consequence of the pop-
J«r odium into which he had fallen because of his intimacy with
wv. Wentworth and the other Loyalists of New England. It is

originally modd.by the Count in 1797, but materially modGjSed by
his daughter* in her will, and carried out by her executor, James F.
Baldwin of Boston, and Mr. Walker. The latter had much to do
with the care of this estate and charity during the past sixty years,
and.one' of the many public services he rendered was to help admin-
;llsfdr*tmd make known this endowed orphanage, the Rolfe and Run>-
{Qi*d Asylum, for the poor and needy, particularly young females
•Without mothers.*
Air. Walker's relation to the family of a Bavarian count of the
Holy Roman Empire was a part of his own family inheritance.
After the return of Parson Walker and Col. Benjamin Kolfe from
England, where they had obtained from the King in Council a re-
versal of the unjust decision of the New Hampshire courts against
the land-titles of the early settlers of Rumford under a Massachu-
setts land-grant, as hereafter related, Col. Rolfe, a wealthy citizen,
pleaded for the hand of the Parson's daughter, Sarah, as his second
wife, and they were married, with great disparity of years, in 1762.
Col. Rolfe died a few years later, leaving his young widow with a
young child, a fine estate, and a brave new house, the largest in
Rumford. Benjamin Thompson of Wobum, coming up the Mer-
rimac Valley to teach school in the thriving town, captivated the
heart of the rich wddow, and they were married a little before the
American Revolution. He was handsome, accomplished, with a
turn for military life, and was made a major in the local militia by
Gov. John Wcntworth, the last of the royal governors of the flour-
ishing Province. AVhen the Parliamentary oppression of New Eng-
land began, AVent worth (tlie real founder of Dartmouth College)
sided with the Parliament, and Thompson inclined the same way,
enough, at least, to raise animosity against him in New Hampshire,
and particularly in Rumford, where he was threatened with indig-
nities by the mob. P^scaping from home by night, he took refuge
with his friends in ilassachusetts ; and though they brought e\nidence
that he was not an enemy of his native country, he thought it ex-
pedient after the fight at Bunker Hill to abandon the patriots and
take shelter in besieged Boston. Thence he crossed tlie ocean to
London, where he found favor with King George, who knighted
him, and sent him to the Elector of Bavaria, who wanted a man of
science to reorganize his artillery. For this and other good service
the Elector made hiin Count Kuniford, Thompson taking his title
from his fiither-in-law Walker's parish. Mrs. Thompson, the first
Countess Rumford, was Joseph Burbeen Walker's great aunt, being
sister of his grandfather, Judge Walker; and he was therefore first

cousin once removed of Sarah Thompson, second and last Countess
Sumford, who received that title as Sir Benjamin Thompson's daugh-
ter after her mother's death. She survived in Concord till her cousin
Walker was thirty years old, and she entrusted much of the care of
her bequests in that town to him. The town had long before changed
its name and had become the capital of the State.
As an historian Mr. Walker specially devoted himself to matters
concerning his native state and its seat of government, the city of
Concord, both before and after it became the state capital. His
great-grandfather, a pastor there for more than a half-century, was
involved, together with his son-in-law. Col. Kolfe, in a famous con-
troversy witi the Wentworths of Portsmouth, provincial governors,
and their kindred and friends, who had given town charters and
made settlements, aft;er the true boundary between New Hampshire
and Massachusetts had been established by the King in Council
about 1740, iYi districts previously granted by the Slassachusetts
authorities. In the territory of Rumford and the region round-
about all the residents held their lands by titles drawn either from
original Indian purchases or from charters given by Massachusetts.
In 1727, however, only two years after the Massachusetts govern-
ment had granted Rumford to Col. Rolfe and his associates, who
later called and settled young Timothy Walker as their minister,
most of this territory was granted by the authorities of New Hamp-
diire, under the name of the town of Bow, to members of the Went-
worth family and others, and they endeavored to collect fines and
taxes from the older settlers. The " Bow Controversy," of which
Joseph Burbeen Walker wrote the faithful history,* soon began, but
did not come to an issue until twenty years later, when, the New
Hampshire juries having given verdicts practically dispossessing
Bolfe, Walker, and their townsmen, the original "Proprietors of
Romford " met, voted 100 pounds to pay the cost of an appeal to
George II, and sent Parson Walker to London to engage counsel
and press the appeal. This was in 1753. He went abroad in 1754,
was fortunate enough to engage Murray, afterward Lord Mansfield,
as counsel, and obtained in 1755 an order of the King maintaining
the rights of the original settlers. This was disregarded by the
Wentworths, who now brought suit against Col. Rolfe personally,
and again the local juries decided for the wealthy plaintiffs. This
time both Col. Rolfe and his minister (soon to be his father-in-law)
went to London, in 1762 ; and following the advice of Mansfield,
now on the bench and unable to appear as counsel, they won the
suit, and obtained a decree from the young King, George III, re-
sffirming justice in the case.

shire Historical Society within the past sixty years ; many reports

Mr. Walker^s connection with the New England Historic Genear
logical Society began in 1874, when he was admitted to resident
membership. For sixteen years, 1878-1893, he held office in the
Society as Vice-President from New Hampshire, and in 1907 his
name was placed on the roll of corresponding members.
Dartmouth College in 1883 and Yale University in 1891 conferred
upon Mr. Walker the honorary degree of Master of Arts.
Mr. Walker married first, 5 May 1847, Sarah Adams, daughter
of Rev. Dr. Daniel and Caroline (Sawyer) Fitz of Ipswich, Mass.
She was Mr. Walker's first cousin once removed, was bom 30 June
1827, and died 21 November 1848. He married secondly, at Con-
cord, N. H. , 1 May 1850, Elizabeth Lord, daughter of Hon. Nathaniel
Gookin and Betsey Watts (Lord) Upham of Concord. She was
bom at Concord 18 August 1830, and survives her husband. They
were the parents of six children : Charles Rumford, A.B. (Yale
College) 1874, M.D. (Harvaid University) 1878, a well-known
physician of Concord ; Susan Burbeen, wife of Charles M. Gilbert,
formerly of Concord and now of Savannah, Gra. ; Nathaniel Upham,
A.B. (Yale College) 1877, a lawyer of Boston, residing in Brook-
line, Mass. ; Mary Bell, deceased ; Eliza Lord, of Concord ; and
Joseph Timothy, formerly of Savannah, Ga., and now business
manager of St. Paul's School, Concord.
Mr. Walker's death ended an illness not very long, following a
period of robust old age, in which almost daUy he walked some
three-quarters of a mile down to the State House and the State
Library and home again, regardless of the weather, and often took
much longer walks. Because of deafness he avoided public gather-
ings during the last few years, and withdrew from general society ;
but he was able to hear and enjoy conversation in his own house and
among his rare and cherished books, and he was still interested in
historical studies, a high authority on all that relates to New £ng^
land history or the religion of our ancestors. Among his own an-
cestors he counted more than the usual number of parish ministers,
judges, schoolmasters, and civilizers of every sort; and to their
memory he paid that wise regard and filial respect which consist in
setting forth the worth of their character and the results of their lives.

OLD BOSTON FAMILIES
Number Two
THE FAMILY OF CAPT. JOHN GERRISH
By Rot. Abthur WsarTWORTH ILlhilton Eaton, D.C.L., of New York City
A CONSPICUOUS Boston family of the eighteenth century was the
family of Capt. John* Gerrish, merchant and ship-owner, a mem-
ber of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, and one of
the original proprietors of Long Wharf. John Gerrish was a
grandson of Capt. William* Gerrish, of Newbury in 1639 and of
Boston from 1678, and his first wife Joanna, daughter of Pcrcival
Liowie and widow of John Oliver. Of the Gerrish family in gen-
eral no complete genealogy has ever been printed, a brief record by
John J. Gerrish, published at Portland, Me., in 1880, and some
valuable materials given in Che Essex Institute Historical Collec-
tions^ vol. 5, pp. 25-^0, being the chief contributions towards a
genealogy of this family diat have as yet appeared.*
Of the ten children of Capt. William' and Joanna (Lowle) Ger-
rish, John,' the eldest, bom 12 Feb. 1645/6 (Bible record in
Seoister, vol. 51, p. 67), married 19 Aug. 1667 {ib.) Elizabeth
Waldron, daughter of Maj, Richard of Dover, N. H., and settled
at Dover, where in 1672 he was appointed captain in the militia,
in 1683 was chosen high constable, in 1684 was elected a member
of the special assembly convened by Gov. Cranfield, in 1689 and
1690 was representative from Dover to the convention that met
after the overthrow of Andros, in 1692 was a royal councillor of
New Hampshire, and in 1699 became assistant justice of the
Superior Court. William,* the second son, bom 6 June 1648,
was a physician in Chariestown, Mass. Joseph,' the third son,
bom 23 Mar. 1649/50, was graduated at Harvard in 1669, married
about 1670 Anna Waldron, sister of his brother John's wife, and
in 1674 entered on a pastorate of forty-six years over the church at
Wenham, Mass. He had six children, the eldest of whom was Eli-
sabeth,' bom 18 Dec. 1673, and married 16 Mar. 1698/9 to Rev.
Joseph Green, who was bom 24 Nov. 1675, was graduated at Har-
vard in 1695, and for eighteen years was minister of the church
at Salem Village, now Dan vers, f Another of his children was

hietoriee of variout New Enjriand towns.
t Of the eight children of Key. Joieph and Elizabeth* (Gerrish) Green, /eseph, the
third, who was born 12 Dec. 1703, was a well-known merchant of Boston and owned
a Talnable estate on Hanover Street, which he purchased in 1784 for £8600 from Gov.
Joaathan Belcher. His portrait was painted by Copley. His brother Benjamin, sev-
«Bth in the famiiv, who was born 1 July 1718, married 24 Nov. 1737 Margaret Pierce of
Portemoath, N. H., daughter of Joshua and Elisabeth (Hall) and sister of his brother
iosepk*s wife. Hon. Benjamin Green was at first a merchant in Boston, but in 174ft
he acted as seoretary, witn military rank, to Sir William Pepperrell at Louisburg, re-
maininf afler the capture of that fortress in Cape Breton as Government tecretarv
iBtil tM ialand was restored to France. In 1749 ne removed with his lamiJj to HalL
106 Old Boston Families [April
Samuel,' the well-known bookseller and town clerk of Boetoo, and
register of deeds for Suffolk County. Benjamin/ the fourth son of
Capt. William, bom 13 Jan. 1651/2, became collector of customs
at Salem, and founded an important family there. Moees^' the fifth
eon, bom 9 May 1656, marned Jane Sewall, sister of Chief Justice
Sewall, and lived at Newbury. Many references to him will be
found in Sewall's Diary.
The parents of Capt. John' Grerrish of Boston were Judge John*
(William*) of Dover, N. H., and his wife Elizabeth (Waldron).
Judge John' Gerrish left a family Bible, in which be had recorded
in his own handwriting the births of his eleven children.* Of the
sons of this family, John', as we have seen, settled in Boston ;
Richard lived at Portsmouth, N. H. ; William lived in that part
of Dover, N. H., which was later inc(»*porated as the town of
Somersworth; Nathaniel lived first at Berwick, Me., and then at
Portsmouth, N. H. ; Tlmotliy settled at Kittery, Me. ; Benjamin
lived first in Boston, where in 1704 he joined the Old South Churchy
was a captain in the militia, was admitted to the Ancient and Hon-
orable Artillery Company in 1714, was- made a sergeant therein in
1715, for a time served as clerk of the market, and then, about
1740, removed to Charlestown, Mass., where he died 23 June 1750^
in his 64th year ;| and Paul lived and died at Dover, N. H.
1. Capt. John* GERKXsn (John^^ WilUaw})^ the eldest of the eleven
children of Judge John and Elizabeth (Waldron) Gerrish of Dover, N.H.,
was bwn at Dover 21 Aug. 1(>G8, "a bought 4 of y® Cloeke in y* after
noone/* and in early life entered on a mercantile career in Boston. He
married tirst, in Boston, 19 Apr. 1G92, Gov. Simon Bradstreet officiating,
Lydia Watts, probably a daughter of John and Ljdia. John and Lydia
Watts had a son John, bom 22 Jan. 1668/9, and a daughter Rebecca,
bom 22 Feb. 1670/1. llie exact date of Lydia (Watts) Gerrish's birth
is unknown, but she died 8 Jan. 1697/8, and was buried in Copp*8 Hill
Burying-Grouiul. Her epitaph reads : " Here lyetb buried y* Body of
Lydia Garish y* wife of John Garish, aged about 27 years ; dec** January
y« 8"^ 1697-8." (Cc^p's Hill Epitaphs, p. 30.) Another epitaph in
Copp's Hill Bury ing-G round is the following, which is probably that of
Lydia (Watts) Gerrish's mother: "Here lyeth buried y* Body of Lydia
Watts, aged 55 years, dec^ Septeml)er y* 29^ 1700.'* Capt. John Gerrish
married secondly, on or before 28 Apr. 1699, Sarah HoBBESy third child
fax, there being admitted to the Council. In 1757 he was appointed militaiTr secretary
to the coiniDandor-in-chief of II. M. forces and colonel or the Nova Scotia Militia.
Later he became treasurer of the Province, and at one time as senior oouncillor he
administered the f^ovemment. He died at Halifax in 1772, his eldest son, Benjamin^
Jr.y succeeding him in the treasarership. His widow died in 1779. (Rbqistsr, toI.

1913] The Family of Capt. John Ge^Tish 107
of Richard and Elizabeth (Page or Paige), who was baptized in St. Bar-
tholomew's Parish, Crewkerne, co. Somerset, England, but came to live
in Boston with her uncle Nicholas Page or Paige and his wife Anna, who
were residents of Rumney Marsh, then belonging to Boston, but later a
part of Chelsea. Richard Hobbes and Elizabeth " Pagge " were married
at Crewkerne 13 June 1671, and the baptisms of the following children
bom to them are recorded there : John, 16 July 1673 ; Margaret, 20 Oct.
1674; Sarah, 14 Nov. 1676; Elizabeth, 4 Oct. 1678. Mrs. Nathaniel
Oliver of Boston, whose Christian name was Martha, was a niece of Nicholas
Paige and probably a sister of Sarah (Hobbes) Gerrish. (Somerset Parish
Begisters, vol. 5, p. 40, and information obtained from Crewkerne by ProL
Barrett Wendell ; Chamberlain's History of Chelsea, vol. 1, pp. 659-660,
vol. 2, p. 75.)
Concerning the family of the first wife of Capt John Gerrish informa-
tion has been difficult to obtain. John Watts, her father, was probably a
Bea-captain living at the north end of Boston, and it is likely that it is he
whom Pasco Palmer mentions in a deposition, 8 Aug. 1677, as owning the
barque Prosperous^ in which Palmer had shipped as master. Watts accom-
panying him, on a fishing voyage to Cape Sable. (Suffolk Court Files,
MS.) Lydia Watts, probably mother of Lydia (Watts) Grerrish, was a
witness to the will of Samuel Shrimpton, 5 June 1697, there being prob-
ably some connection between the Wattses and the Shrimptons. (Regis-
ter, vol. 43, pp. 161, 162.) John Watts was not of the Chelsea Watta
family, for that was founded by Edward Watts and his wife Rebecca, who
came in 1710 from the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate, London, to Win-
nisimmet. (Chamberlain's History of Chelsea, vol. 1, pp. 352, 353.) It
is yet to be discovered whether or not John Watts, merchant, of Boston
and Arrowsic Island, Me., who married Elizabeth, daughter of Peter
Bntler, built a large brick house at Arrowsic, and removed thither from
Boston in 1714, was John Watts, Jr., brother of Lydia (Watts) Gerrish.
It is, however, significant that John and Elizabeth (Butler) Watts, who
bad three children, had a daughter Lydia baptized 15 Dec. 1717, shortly
after her father's death. John Watts of Arrowsic was a partner in busi-
ness with John Penhallow of Portsmouth, and was attorney in New Eng-
land for Sir Bibye Lake, Bart., who was probably a relative of his wife.
After John Watts's death, which occurred 26 Nov. 1717, John Penhallow
married Watts's widow Elizabeth, who bore him three children. When
Elizabeth died, Penhallow married secondly Ann, daughter of Jacob and
Sarah (Oliver) Wendell, by whom he had no children. From the will of
tills John Watts we learn that he owned property not only at Arrowsic
but also at Charlestown, Mass., and also in the parish of " Westharrock,"
00. Essex, England. (Register, vol. 21, pp. 47-51 ; Suffolk Co. Probate
Becords ; Penhallow Genealogy.)
Col. Nicholas Paige, merchant, uncle of Sarah Hobbes, second wife of
Ctpt John Gerrish, was in Boston as early as 1660, and again in 1665,
coming from Plymouth, co. Devon, England. In Boston he became colonel
of the Suffolk Regiment and a commander in the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery. He had a valuable property, and his social position is indicated
^ references to him in Sewall's Diary. In the building of King's Chapel
^« Was one of the largest contributors. He married Mrs. Anna (Keayne)
L«ie, daughter of Benjamin Keayne and granddaughter of Capt. Robert
J^yne, whose valuable estate at Revere became Anna's property. On
"^moUier'i side Mrs. Anna Paige was a granddaughter of Gov. Thomas
108 Old Boston Families [April
Dudley, and niece of Gov. Joseph Dudley. She died 30 June 1704, and
Col. Page died 22 Nov. 1717. (Sewall's Diary, vol. 2, p. 109 ; Chamber-
lain's History of Chelsea, passim.)
The 5th June 1700 Nicholas and Anna P^ge, '< in consideration of a
marriage lately had and solemnized between John Gerrish of Boston,
aforesaid, gun smith, and Sarah his present wife, our beloved kinswoman,
formerly Sarah Hobbs, and for the advancing of a marriage portion with
her," conveyed to John Gerrish " all that our messuage or tenement with
the appurt^^ and all the land whereon the same doth stand and is thereunto
belonging and adjoining, scituate lying and being over against the Exchange
in Boston aforesaid now or late in the tenure and occupation of Alexander
Bulman and Samuel Bill." At a town-meeting held 19 Dec. 1709 pro-
posals were offered by Dr. Oliver Noyes, Daniel Oliver, James Barnes,
John George, John Gerrish, and Anthony Stoddard, concerning the build-
ing of a wharf " from the Lower end of King Street, down to Low Water
marke," and the selectmen were appointed a committee to consider these
proposals and make report. The report was presented at a town-meeting
held 13 Mar. 1709/10, and was accepted, the gentlemen named above engag-
ing at their own cost to build the wharf. This was the origin of Boston's
well-known " Long Wharf." (Boston Town Records, 1700-1728, pp. 66,
67.) In June 1734 a petition to be allowed to extend the wharf from ten
to fourteen feet was signed by James Allen, Samuel Sewall, Thomas Fitch,
Jacob Wendell, Andrew Faneuil, William Blin, John Gerrish, James Bow-
doin, Jr., Thomas Hill, Andrew and Peter Oliver, Habijah Savage, and
S. Boutineau. In 1736 we find John Gerrish's name in the long list of
subscribers to Prince's Chronological History of New England.
Capt. John Gerrish died intestate 21 Feb. 1737/8 (Register, vol. 51,
p. 68), and 3 Mar. 1737/8 administration on his estate was granted to his
son-in-law Daniel Hencnman and his elder living son Joseph Gerrish.
His estate included a large amount of property belonging to him personally
and a large amount belonging to the firm of John and Joseph Gerrish, of
which he was the senior partner. The inventory of his personal estate
included his mansion-house on King Street, valued at £2500, his ^' war^
house and interest on the Long Wharfe," £1250, land at Nottingham,
N. H., valued at £300, a third of a farm called Davenport's Farm, £140,
half the ship Casar, £2750, three-sixteenths of the ship Greyhoundy £468.
15.0., a fifth of the sloop Baven, then at Nantucket, £100, a stock of gua-
maker's tools and firearms, and a large stock of household furniture. Eu
partnership inventory comprised chiefiy a stock of dry-goods. The total
value of his personal estate was £8661.4.0.; of his partnership estate
£4591.7.2.
John Gerrish with his family lived, as we have seen, on King Street,
and worshipped at the South Church. The property on King Street on
which his mansion-house stood was probably acquired by Capt Gerrish
for £440 by deed from William Holberton, mariner, and his wife Mary,
dated 1 Feb. 1711. The property transferred by this deed is described as
'' all that their moyety or easterly half part of a certain brick messuage or
tenement and of the land appertaining thereto, belonging, lying, scituate
in Boston aforesaid, being parcel of the mansion house of the late Honoble.
John Leverett, Esq., deceased, which they lately purchased of Ann Hub-
bard, widow, one of the daughters and coheirs of the said John Leverett

and bounded easterly by the land of Simeon Stoddard, southerly by a lane
or passage way of ten feet wide, laid out within a foot of the said Stoddard's
land into Leverett's Lane, so named."
At what date John Gerrish and his son Joseph entered into partnership
we do not know, but soon after the death of the father the business must
haye been closed.
The title " Captain," which John Gerrish commonly bore, designated
his rank in the militia ; in the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company,
to which he was admitted in 1700, he was made third sergeant in 1702/8,
ensign in 1712/13, and lieutenant in 1714/15.*

of the New North Church. His portrait by Copley represents hbn
as dressed in a suit of olive-colored doth and seated beside a table,
his right hand holding a pen and his left hand resting on his knee.
Mrs. Barrett's portrait cdso was painted by Copley, and she is
represented by the artist ** as wearing a robe of olive brown bro-

The dress is cut square in the neck, over which is thrown a mnslln
kerchief; embroidered muslin sleeves, a muslin cap and a pearl
necklace complete the costume.** John and Sarah (Gerrish) Bar-

N. S., after 1754;* and secondly, at Halifax, 3 Sept. 1768, Mary
Cradock, eldest daughter of Hon. George and Mary (Lyde) of
Boston, who was bom 18 May 1723. The Boston Gazette for Mon-
day, 10 Oct. 1768, has the following notice : "Halifax, September
8, Saturday last was married Hon. Joseph Gerrish, Esq. to Miss
Mary Cradock, of Boston ; a lady possessed of every agreeable ac-
complishment necessary to make the married state happy." (Re-
printed in Kkgister, vol. 8, p. 28.)t
After Joseph Gerrish*s death Mrs. Mary (Cradock) Gerrish was
married, 6 Sept. 1779, as his second wife, to Rev. John Breynton,
D.D., who was chaplain on an English warship at the first siege of
Louisburg, and from 1753 until 1789 was rector of St. Paul's Church,
Halifax, the mother Anglican church of Canada. In Sept. 1785
Dr. Breynton and his second wife, previously Mrs. Joseph Gerrish,
sailed for England, and although Dr. Breynton retained the rector-
ship of St. Paul's for almost five years longer, he never came back
to Halifax, and both he and his wife died in England, t
Mary (Cradock) Gerrish bore no children to either husband.
At tlie time of his father's death Joseph* Gerrish was his partner
in business. He was commissioned ensign, 14 Feb. 1744, in the
Thinl Massachusetts Regiment, of which Hon. Jeremiah Moulton
was colonel, and with tliis regiment he went to the siege of Louis-
burg in 1745. In this same regiment was also Joseph Fairbanks,
who like Mr. Gerrish, after the siege, io stead of roturuing to New
England, settled in Nova Scotia. In the winter of 1740-7 Joseph
Gerrish was at Minas, King's Co., N. S., and in an engagement
Uiere with the French received a severe wound. For a short time
after this he was perhaps in Boston, but in 1700 his name appears
on the plan of an intended town at llorton, King's Co., he having
drawn land there. Before 1759 he was appointed naval storekeeper

Btrried (1) Edward Neargrass. and (2) 17 April 1737 Daniel Ayrault, Sr., father of

the Inferior Court of Common Pleas for Halifax.*
He died at Halifax 3 June 1774, and was buried three days later
in St. Paul's Churchyard. The inscription on his tombstone reads :

An admirable portrait by Copley, which was in the possession of
the late Maj. S. C. Barrett of Chicago, is probably a portrait of
Hon. Joseph* Gerrish.
The will of Hon. Joseph Gerrish was proved at Halifax 8 June
1774. All his real estate in Nova Scotia or elsewhere he leaves
to his well-esteemed friends, Hon. Henry Newton and Messrs.
John Burbidge and Philip Elnaut^ in trust for his heirs. His wife
Mary is to have one-third of his estate in lieu of dower, during her
life ; and the remainder is to go, one-third to his grandchildren, the
cliildren of his daughter Mary Gray and his son-in-law Joseph Gray,
namely, Elizabeth Brenton, Joseph Gerrish, Mary, Amelia Ann,
Benjamin Gerrish, Lydia Hancock, and such other children as they
may have, for their use, support, maintenance, and education, and
the remaining third to his daughter Susannah, wife of Ephraim
Staunus, for her and her children's use and support. After his
wife's decease her share of the estate is to go, one-half to the chil-
dren of his (laughter Mary, share and share alike, when the youngest
has attained the age of twenty-one years, or after the decease of

the Dock^'nrd; his dwelling house stood in the centre and faced the harbour. Part of
the old wall a year or two since was tu be seen in Lockman Street." (Akins's History
of Halifax City, in Collections of the Nova Scotia Historical Society, vol. 8, 1895, pp.
218, 219.) Gerrish Street, in Halifax, begins at Water Street, at or al>out the site of the
above-mentioned Qerrish property, whence the name of the street. A building on this
street known as Gerrish llall was built early in the nineteenth century by Hev. Mr.
Jackson, an evangelist, who held meetings there for several years. Subsequently the
hall was purchased by the Free Church, Presbyterian, and was used as an academy and
college for that body. After the union of the various Presbyterian bodies in Canada
the hall was b<>ufi:ht hj St. John's Presbyterian Church and used as a Sunday-school
house. Later it uccame the headquarters of the Presbyterian Divinity School, and so
remained until ** Pino Hill *' was purchased by the Presbyterian Synod.

Dudley, who was bom 28 May 1726, daughter of Hon. William
and Rebecca (Davenport), granddaughter of Gov. Joseph, and
great-granddaughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley. He was settled at
Halifax, N. S., before July 1752, for the census of that date gives
him as a resident of the town. He became at Halifax a pros-
perous merchant, the head of the firm of Gerrish and Gray. He
was appointed, 31 May 1760, captain of a company of Halifax
Militia, was admitted to the Council, 27 June 1768, and a member
of the Council he remained for the rest of his life. He was also a
judge of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas, and from 1760
commissioner for Indian Aifairs.
He owned property in different parts of Nova Scotia, acquiring
it either by grant or by purchase. One of the most important
of his acquisitions was a farm at Windsor, Hants Co., where he
erected a house, known as Gerrish Hall. The street running directly
from the front door of this house to the entrance to Judge llalibur-
ton's grounds was known as Gray Street. As has been said, one of
the four parallel streets of Windsor is named Gerrish Street. IMr.
Gerrbh's proj>erty was later owned by Hon. Judge Wilkins, and
later still Dr. D. B. Fraser erected a large house on the site of the
old one, calling it also Gerrish Hall. This house was burned in the
Windsor fire of Oct. 17-18, 1897.

114 Old Boston FdmiUes [April
(Dudley) Gerrish no record has been found, but in Boston Town
Records, IMiscellaneous Papers, it is stated that Benjamin Gerrish,
bis wife and daughter, and a servant, arrived 24 Oct. 1765 from Hali-
fax. If Benjamin Gerrish had a daughter, she must have died young ;
but we venture the supposition that the '^ daughter *' referred to in
this record was a niece or some other relative of Mrs. Gerrish, and
not her daughter.
From the Boston records we also learn that Mrs. Benjamin
Gerrish arrived 3 May 1763 in the schooner Dave from Halifax,
and that Mr. Benjamin Gerrish, gentleman, arrived 4 July 1766
from London in Uie brigantine Lydia. During all his Halifax
career Mr. Gerrish evidently kept in close touch with Boston, and
when the Congregational churches of Nova Scotia were helped by
the Boston churches, he and Mr. Malachy Salter, another Boston
merchant settled in Halifax, were asked to distribute the money.
Both these gentlemen were no doubt prominent members of the
Congregational church called Mather's Church, founded in Halifax
very soon after the city began. (Eaton's History of King's County,
N. S., p. 275 ; Collections ofOie Nova Scotia Hiitorxcal Society j vol,
16, p. 166.)
Hon. Benjamin Gerrish died at Southampton, England, 6 May
1772, and was probably buried in England. His widow, with
Giles Tidmarsh as her attorney, in 1 773 settled her husband's
estate. Mrs. Rebecca (Dudley) Gerrish was married secondly,
at Halifax, 14 Oct. 1775, to John Burbidge, Esq., M.P.P., a
native of Cowes, Isle of Wight, who with his first wife came
to Halifax in 1749, and after living there a few years removed
to Coniwallis, King's Co., N. S., where he was for many years
a person of the highest importance. (Eaton's History of Iving's
County, N. S., pp. 473-47G.) He was one of the most liberal
j)atron8 of St. John's Church, Cornwallis, and in the old churchyard
of that church he and presumably both his wives were buried. Mrs.
Rebecca Burbidge died at Concord, N. II., while on a vL^it there,
30 Jan. 1809. Mr. Burbidge died at Cornwallis 11 Mar. 1812.*
A portrait of ^Irs. Relx?cca (ierrish was owned in 1892 by Mrs.
II. II. Bradlee. Hon. Benjamin Gerrish's i)ortrait was painte<l by
Coi)ley, and from his sister, Mrs. John Barrett, who owned it after
her hrotluir's <leath, it passed to her youngest son John. Tlie por-
trait is of life->ize and of three-tpiarters length (30 inches long by
25 inches wi<le). It represents the sitter in a brown coat, with
laced crayat and ruilles, and wearing a powdered wig. The date of
the jiaintini; of this portrait is not known.
^Ir. Gerrish's will was made in Boston, 1772, and proved in
Boston 7 Au;r. 1773. The witnesses were Samuel Quincy, Samuel
Clap, and Increase Sumner, .Jr. The chief j)art of his estate he
deyisos to his wife Rebecca, his n<*phew Benjamin Gerrish Gray,
howeyer, to receive his farm in Falmouth, Hants Co., known as
Dudley Park Farm, consisting of a thousand acres, a grant to him
from tlie Nova Scotia Government, and sundry pieces of land lying

[The records of Mr. Chase begin here, but entries later than May 1819
must be by another.]
A record of John and Mary Caswell's family
* 1809 seems to be written orer 1810. She was Susanna Haley by birth, a daaghter of
the first Samuel Haley, and the widow of Josiah Stevens, the much-lored missionanr
on Star Island. On the ^rayestone there the date of her death is given as 7 Dec. 1810.
t On the margin is written " Jan.," and on his gravestone on Smutty Nose Island
the date is 7 Feb. 1811.
tOn the margin is written "Jan."
\ There is some uncertainty here. The Columbian Ceniinel (Boston) of 6 Feb. 1811
notes among recent deaths : " In Portsmouth Mr. John Newton of the Isle of Shoals,
^t. 47." Locke in his Inscriptions has an inscription from the North Cemetery
(Portsmouth) for John Newton, a native of Gosport, died 26 Jan. 1811, aged 48. Theae
records fit the John (son of John Newton ana Sarah Currier) who was baptised in
Mar. 1763 and was the husband of the Sally Newton who died in 1804, as recorded
above. The other man appears to be his son John, who was bom probably about 1784
and is presumably the Jonn Newton noted in the History of Rye as marrying Maiy
Haley of the Shoals 23 July 1804, the marriaee doubtless taking place at Rye, there
being just then no preacher at the Shoals, for Mr. Stevens had died early in July.
This Marj Haley I take to bo the daufi^hter of John Haley (a son of the first Samuel,
baptized m 1767), who married Mary Bellamy of Kittery in 1789 and died on the Shoals
in 1803, as recorded above. John Newton, Jr., is to be counted as an elder brother of
the Newton children baptized by Morse in 1800 (p. 90). There is no record of the
children of this couple, nor does Mair Newton, as a daughter of John Haley, appear
in the settlement or the estate of his father Samuel in 1814 and later.
II In a petition of 12 Jan. 1818 to the General Court of Massachusetts Samuel Halef ,
the son of the first Samuel, whose death is recorded above, gives a diflferent story of this
wreck. The vessel was a Spanish ship, which he calls the *' O>nception from Cadis."
The captain was **don Juan (}oxara"( ?). One man was found 16 Jan. ; 6 men on 17 Jan.;
21 Jan. 6 more were found, one of them <*grappled up in Hog Is. passage*' ; 27 Jan. 1 maa
'* grappled up in Hog Is. passage '* ; 8 Aug. ** picked up 1 man. The wreck occarred
at night in a violent snow storm. Nothing was known of it until the next day, and all
were lost. According to the Boaton Oaxette, 18 Jan. 1818, it was a vessel of from 800
to 400 tons. A later account says that she was old and rotten, but built of mahogany
and cedar, and supposed to be laden with salt. She went entirely to pieces in a very
short time. The nrst fragments came ashore Thursday morning, 14 Jan. There really
was a Spanish ship Saaunto which arrived at Newport from Cadis a couple of days
before the wreck on Smutty Nose. No explanation of this confusion of^ names has
been given. Both accounts agree that the number of men found was fourteen. These
bodies were buried on Smutty Nose. The graves are still barely discemibU and art
marked by small stones.
f These Oaswell entries nre in diflbrent hands.

Caleb Chase A.M. was employed by a few benevolent persons in New-
boryport to keep school on the Isles of Shoals in 1819. He came to these
Isles February 23** and continued twelve weeks. While here he kept
school tho' it was too late in the season for the business in this place ; for
several of the scholars were soon obliged to leave the school to attend to
fishing. If the school had begun six weeks sooner, the benefit to the
scholflj*s would have been much greater.
He endeavoured to ascertain the ages of the people generally, but many
of them had lost their ages for the want of a recoid. The ages of the
young could mostly be ascertained. He, therefore, made the record on the
three preceeding pages for the benefit of those families. It might be well
for everyone, who may be employed as an instructor here to do something
for the people in this way.
When he came to these Isles there were on Star Island eleven families
and two solitaries — fifty two souls. On Smutty Nose five families and one
solitary — twenty six souls, and on Hog Island one family — eight souls ;
in all eighty six souls.

* This familr appears to hare been entered again in a more correct form elsewhere
in the old book, and a copy of that record was made by R. L. Randall on page 169.
The name of the mother is there giren as Sarah P., which according to the only sur-
Tiror of the fkmily is the correct form.
t These two names are crossed out. As it stands here the record of Hannah is in-
eoneistent with that of her brother Lemael, bat both girls have different dates in the
rerieed version (p. 169). The entry for Hannah is meant for Hannah Maria Titcomb,
•ad the date of her birth is correctly recorded on p. 169. A playmate of Hannah re-
cella (1912) that, to plagae her, the other children called her Hannah Maria Titcomb,
bot she does not know why they used these names. It is qaite possible that she really
bed this long name and dislikea it. Below the record is written in another hand : *' 1

JOHN PEIRCE OF LONDON AND THE MERCHANT
ADVENTURERS
Commanicated by J. Ga&dnbb Babtlbtt, Esq., of Boston, Mass.
The first patent granted by the President and Council of New
England to me company of Merchant Adventorers with whom the
Plymouth colonists were associated was dated 1 June 1621,^ and
was taken in the name of Mr. John Peirce, ** Citizen and Cloth-
worker of London/' and his associates, *^by reason," says Gov.
Bradford, *^of aquaintance, and some aliance that some of their
fieinds had with him. But his name was only used in trust. But
ulien he saw they were hear hopfully thus seated, and by y* success
God gave them had obtained y* favour of y* Counsell of New-Eng-
lind, he goes and sues to them for another patent of much larger
cxtente (in their names), which was easily obtained. But he mente
to keep it to him selfe and alow them what he pleased, to hold of
kirn as tenants, and sue to his courts as cheefe Lord." (History
of Plymouth Plantation, p. 167 of the edition published by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. ) This second patent was obtained

148 John Petree of London [April
by Peirce 20 Apr. 1622, and is no longer extant. In that same
year Peirce set out, in the ship Paragon^ on a voyage to New
England, to bring relief to the colonists at Plymouth, but the ship
was twice disabled by storms and compelled to abandon the YoyagCi
and Peirce incurred great financial loss (t&.f pp. 166—169).
Controversies arose between Peirce and the Adventurers, as vpfeam
from the Eecords of the Council of New England,* and the Adven-
turers induced him '' to assigne over y® grand patente to y* companiey
which he had taken in his owne name, and made quite voyd our
former grante. . . . But his imwillingnes to part with his royall
Lordship, and y® high-rate he set it at, which was 500". which cost
him but 50"., maks many speake and judg hardly of him.'' (/&•»
). 168, letter from England to the Governor, dated 9 Apr. 1623. S
t does not appear that the Adv^iturers paid the high price which
was asked by Peirce for the surrender of this patent of 20 Apr.
1622, and Peirce himself states that he received no consideration
for its surrender {vide infra^ p. 152), but it is clear that the patent
was cancelled. (Palfrey's New England, vol. 1, p. 210, note;
Records of the Council of New England.) Peirce, however, in the
words of Bradford, " was never quiet, but sued them in most of y*
cheefe courts in England, and when he was still cast, brought it to
y° Parlemente. But he is now dead, and I will leave him to y*
Lord." ^History of Plymouth Plantation, pp. 168-169. f)
The following Chancery Bill, preserved in the Public Record
Office in London (Chancery Proceedings, Bills and Answers, Bundle
P. 44, No. 43), presents Peirce's side of the dispute, with many
interesting details not given elsewhere :

ADDITIONAL FACTS ABOUT THE ENGLISH
SHERMANS
By Thomas TowstxND Shwbmaw, A.B., LL3., of Bjre, K. T.
Fob manj jeare it haa been supposed that Henry Sherman of
Dedham, co. Essex, whose will is dated 21 Aug. 1610 (Seoisteb,
vol. 50, p. 285), married Susan Hills, as in his will he mentions
^Gilbert EUlls my brother in law." Susan Sherman, Henry's
widow, in her will dated 31 Aug. 1610 (i6., p. 286), refers to **my
brother Gilber Hilles.'' But Mr. Clarence A. Torrey of Chicago
has discovered in the parish register of Moze, co. Essex, p. 27 of
Crisp's edition, a record as follows :
^^ Henry shermft & susan Lawrance were Maryed y* 14 of Jonij IdSS.**
Moze is about ten miles southeast of Dedham. This must be the
marriage of the Henry Sherman in question, for he also mentions in
his will ^ my brother Lawrence of Esthorpe " (co. Essex) . Grilbert
Hills probi^ly married a sister of Susan, Henry Sherman's wife.
The Moze register does not show the baptism of Susan Lawrance,
but gives the baptism of Ann, daughter of John Lawrance, 21 May
1548, and of Thomas, son of John Lawrance, 21 May 1551. Per-
haps Susan was a daughter of John. It also records the burial of
Joane Hills, daughter of Gilbert Hills, 17 Dec. 1560, and the bap-
tism of Gylbart Hill, son of Gylbart Hill, 21 Oct. 1554. There
are other Hill entries. Several entries relate to members of the
Gallaway iamily, and ** my cousin Edmund Gallaway " is mentioned
in the will of Henry and in that of Susan Sherman. Henry Shep-
man's first child Phebe, who married Simon Fenn of Dedham, was
baptized at Dedham 1 May 1570 (Reoisteb, vol. 50, p. 415).
The will of Thomas Wace of Eye, co. Suffolk, yeoman, dated
22 June 1533 and proved 5 Mar. 1538 (P. C. C, CrumweD, 12),
mentions his wife Elene, brother Simon Wace, and John, Simon's
son, appoints Robert Kene of Thrandeston and Thomas Sherman
of Yaxley executors, and gives to his goddaughter Dorothy Kene
and his godson Henry Sherman a legacy of 68. 8d. each. This
is Thomas Sherman of Yaxley, co. Suffolk, whose will is dated 20
Jan. 1550/1 (Keqisteb, vol. 54, p. 153) ; and Henry Sherman is
his son, afterwards of Dedham and Colchester, whose will is dated
20 Jan. 1589/90 (t6., vol. 50, p. 281).
An article by the late Charles A. TMiite (Registeb, vol. 51,
p. 357) describes the tombstone in the churchyard at Dedham,
England, of Edmund Sherman, who died in 1742, and the Sherman
arms thereon, which are similar to those of the Yaxley Shermans,
and states that the vicar shows an amusing letter from Gen. William
T. Sherman about this stone. The subject of the tombstone was not
an ancestor of the Greneral, who was descended from Edmund's
1913] The English Shermans 155
brother Samnel. In answer to an inquiry about the General's letter,
his son, Hon. Philemon Tecumseh Sherman, writes as follows :
^ 1 have no record of the story about the Dedham tombstone, but merely
my recollection of my father's story, which was as follows : Ouce when
especially pestered with demands upon his purse, my father received a
letter from the Rector or Curate of Dedham, stating that the tomb of my
father's supposed ancestor, E^dmund Sherman, in the churchyard, was out
of repair, and asking him for a small contribution to restore it. My father
answered impatienUy that he could not be held responsible for the tombs
of his ancestors back to Adam, that he believed that by that time Edmund
Sherman didn't care whether he had a tombstone or not, bat that he would
be satisfied if his grave was undisturbed, and moreover that when he (my
&ther) was m England, he had looked for Dedham and couldn't find it.
That letter was written on a full sheet of paper, with the heading < Head-
quarters, Army of the United States,' neatly filled the center of the sheet,
and was subscribed ' W. T. Sherman, General,' and consequently was in
the most desirable form for an autograph. In due time my Neither received
a letter from the minister at Dedham thanking him for the letter, and
saying that it had been sold for £2 for an autograph, which money had
been applied towards restoring the tombstone. Doubtless I have the story
more or less incorrectly ; but you may use it if you wish, as it is substan-
tially true."
A water-color emblazonment of a coat of arms, which has de-
scended to the writer from his great-grandfather, Hon. Roger
Sherman, who died in 1793, has beneath it this description : *' He
beareth Or, a Lion rampant Sable between three leaves proper.
Greet, on a wreath, a oea Lion Or, by the name of Sherman.''
These arms are practically the same as those of the Dedham and
Yaxley Shermans.

PRINCE-WOOD AND BRENTON BIBLE RECORDS
Communicated by Taisr Wood, Esq., of New Orleans, La.
THE PRINCE-WGOD BIBLE
The Bible from which the following record has been copied was
published in 1716, and was at one time owned by Isaac Prince of
Newport, R. I., who died in 1719. f The Bible afterwards passed
by marriage into the possession of Caleb Godfrey of Newport, and
when his daughter Elizabeth Godfrey was married to Capt. Pel^
Wood of Newport, it came into the latter's hands. Capt. Peleg
Wood married first the above-mentioned Elizabeth Godfrey, secondty
Mary Wickham, and thirdly Mrs. Margaret Cooke. In the Wood
family the Bible descended to the late Commander John Taylor
Wood, C. S. Navy, a grandson of President Zachary Taylor. Comr
mander Wood, who had married and lived in the Soudi, served in
the Civil War on the staff of his uncle by marriage, Jefferson Dar
vis, and commanded the Tallahassee. After the war he found an
asylum at Halifax, N. S., where he died in 1904. The Bible is now
in the possession of Commander Wood's daughters.
The Woods of Newport, unlike their Brenton, Wickham, and
*Thi8 will is sealed with a seal which seems to be the sea-lion of the Shermma
crest.
t Isaac Prince of Hull, Mass., son of Elder John, married Marj Turner, and had a
ton Isaac, bom 9 Oct. 1682 (Hull Vital Records, p. 81). Whether this last-mentfonad
Isaac was the Isaac of Newport who owned the Bible has not yet been determined.

THE BRENTON BIBLE
The Brenton Bible, from which the following brief record has
been copied, was owned by William Brenton of Newport, R. I., a
brother of Bear- Admiral Brenton of the British Navj and an uncle
of Sir Jahleel Brenton, both natives of Newport. He belonged to
a Loyalist or Tory family, 'and the Wickhams, his wife's family, were
also Loyalists. The dates of the births of William Brenton's chil-
dren show that towards the close of the Revolution he left New-
port, and after a sojourn in New York proceeded to Halifax, N. S.
The Bible afterwards passed into the possession of the Wood family,
and descended to the late Commander John Taylor Wood, the owner
of the Prince- Wood Bible.

[From the foregoing and other records, especially from nomerons en-
tries in the registers of the parish of St. George, Canterbury, the follow-
ing pedigree has been prepared, extending and correcting in some details
what has hitherto been pablished aboat the paternal ancestry of CapU
Edward Johnson of Wobum, Mass. For the maternal ancestry of Capt
Edward Johnson see the Porredge records given below, pp. XIS et $eq,
1. William Johnson of Canterbury, painter, possibly identical with
William, son of Garard Johnson, the testator of 1506, was born probably
about 1500, and was buried at St. George's, Canterbury, 9 June 1576.
He married first, about 1528, Alice Foreplode, daughter of John, s
hatter, and a freeman of Canterbury, and by this marriage William
Johnson became a freeman. He married secondly Eltzabeth, who was
buried at St. George's 17 May 1575. Her burial is recorded twice: in

13] Oeneciogical Research in England 171
e entry the record reads, '^ Elizabeth wife of William Johnson," but in
3 second entry the words '' Grandfather to William Johnson parrish
irke " have been added. Either William Johnson added these words
ring his term of office as parish clerk (he was probably too young to
ve held so responsible position in 1575), or else when the register was
pied, probably about 1598, he had the words added.
Children by first wife :
2. i. John, b. abt. 1581.
11. A DAUGHTEK, m. abt. 1562 Citthbbbt Wrat, painter, who became
freeman by marriage.
I. John Johnson {William) of Canterbury, painter, bom about 1531,
was probably buried at St. George's, Canterbury, 10 May 1598.
He became a freeman by birth in 1552. He was churchwarden of
St. George's in 1582 and 1588. He married first, at St. George's,
23 May 1551, Joane Humfret, who was buried there 15 May
1584. The further history of this man is uncertain. Alice, wife
of John Johnson, who was buried at St. George's 12 Dec. 1592,
may have been his second wife or the wife of his son. The
marriage of John Johnson, painter, and Dorothy Terry, virgin, for
which a licence was issued 21 Oct. 1594, may be that of either of
the Johns, if the younger man was also a painter. Of this marriage
a son John was bom, who was baptized at St. George's 14 Dec.
1595 and was buried there 20 Feb. 1596/7. Administration on
the goods of John Johnson was granted 7 June 1598 to his widow
Dorothy.

was at one time parish clerk of St. George's, where he was buried
27 Dec. 1637, administration on his goods being granted 13 Apr.
] 640 to John Buck, his principal creditor. It is probable that his
son Edward conveyed to him for life the house in the parish of St.
Alphege, ^'over against the Bishop's Palace," which, as George
Johnson, son of Edward, states, '' was left me by my father, Edward
Johnson, after the decease of my grandfather, William Johnson."

of John of Westgate Court, Canterbury. She was baptized at St.

hi the foregoing wills the following Porredge pedigree is hased. The
Tnal ancestry of Capt. Edward Johnson of Wobum, Mass., is herewith

marriage, was buried at St. Dunstan's 16 Sept. 1582. He married

perhaps, the Katherine buried at St. Dunstan's 2 Aug. 1566. He

NOTES
It having come to the attention of this Society that certata
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Sooletf
1 oonneotion with their own enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in anv way connected with any
publications other than those that it issues over its own name
at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
The Committee on English Research desires to state, howeverf
that although the Society has no official representative in England
the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her time as
a searcher of records there along special lines lor the benefit of the
Beqisteb.

De Blois: Additions.— Since the publication of the article entitled ^^Hie
De Blois Family," in the present volume of the Register, pp. 6-21 (Janoaiy,
1913), the following additional information about that family has been foand.
In each case the pedigree number of tlie person concerning whom statements
are made and the page of the Register on which that person's record is given
have been inserted.
The house of Gilbert De Blois (4, p. 9), on the northeast coracr of Tremont
and Bromfield Streets, was destroyed by Are as early as 1838, perhaps earlier.
On the same site was built the Boston Museum, which later became a pabUshing
house, still later the Montgomery Hotel, and finally Horticultural ^Jl. This
in time was supplanted by a new Horticultural Hall.
The following information about this Gilbert De Blois (4, pp. 8 et wg.) Is
printed in an address by Rt. Rev. Thomas M. Clark, Bishop of Rhode Isltfid,
entitled '^ An Historical Discourse delivered in St. John*s Church, ProTideDee«
B. I., in commemoration of the 150^ anniversary of the Parish^" Hurtford, 1872*
p. 85, Appendix :
'' The close of the war left this Church indebted to Mr. Gilbert Deblois for
the organ, who was at this time residing in London. It would seem that he had
served a process upon the parish for payment, and a committee was appointed
to write him and ask that ' he would give orders for withdrawing the prooess
which had been commenced,* and, in consideration of their diminished means,
consent to some abatement in his claim. ^ We mean not, Sir, to obtrude a
lengUiy Epistle : possessing as you do the same holy Religion we persoade ou^
selves that your intention is not to distress the Church ; having so long experi-
enced the utility of an organ In Divhie Worship, we should deeply deplore its
loss.'
^^ Mr. Deblois replies, under date of London, Broadstalrs, July 27, 1791. *I
wish you had settled that business with me while at Boston and in my power
to favor the Church more than can now do> but after all my solicitations nothing
1913]
Jfotes 187
was done th&t I eoald accept the oflfbr, which obliged me to leave the matter
unsettled with my sister, for altho' the notes were taken in my name, it was
wholly my Father's Property and a part of his Estate, wh<^ to prevent falling
faito the Virtaous hands of the Ck)mmittee of Confiscation at his Death, he made
a wUl, and left his two Tory Sons five shillings each, giving the rest of his es-
tate to their children, who since the Peace gave it l»ck to self and Brother
licwis, who has agreed with me that you shoold pay M^ Amery Two hundred
Founds SterU and his fees, and to give up to the Church the remainder of the
Interest of the s^ notes wh«^ is a large sum, and when you consider that not
a shilling has been paid, either princi]ml or interest, you must acknowledge the
aoms now fixed are generous. I heartily wish your Church to increase, and ad-
Tise not to sufi^sr any Unexperienced Person to clean your Organ, wh<^ is equal
to any of the size now in this Kingdom.'
^^ A subscription was made, amounting [to] £277. 18s. 4d., and the matter was
satisfactorily settled."
Gilbert De Blois (8, p. 15) married Elizabeth , the Boston Indepetident
Chronicle and UniverMl Advertiser of 9 Jan. 1794 announcing the death of ^^ Mrs.
Slizabeth Deblois, wife of Mr. Gilbert Deblois, aet. 84."
Augusta Smith De Blois (9, v, p. 15) was married not to James but to Charles
Magee. She had one child, Margaret Magee, who was married to John A.
Walker, son of Judge William Walker of Lenox, Mass., to whom she bore four
children: 1. William, who died young. S. Mary Magee. 8. Elliot, who mar-
ried in 1890 Alice Macy, daughter of ^e late Gen. Nelson Macy, and left tliree
^ildren, Nelson, Charles Elliot, and Margaret Walker. 4. Louisa Huntington.
Thomas Melville De Blois (9, vi, p. 15), according to information supplied by
his niece. Miss Sarah Louisa Huntington, after his apprenticeship with Bowie
ft De Blois entered the civil service of the British government and was in the
customs department of the post ofllce, living at the various places named. When
In the early fifties he left the customs service to go to California, he was in the
direct line for promotion to the collectorship of the port of Quebec. On his re-
tom from California in 1862 or 1868 he spent some time at Salem, Mass., and
then settled at St. John, N. B., where he established a merchants' reading-room.
This was burned in the gretA fire at St. John, and although he re-established it, it
never flourished so well again. In his birthday-book may be found the names
of many of the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick De Bloises.
Caroline Louisa De Blois (9, vii, p. 16) bore to her first husband, Charles C. C.
Tocker, the following children : 1. Elizabeth, died young. 2. Richard Dalton,
bom 29 Jan. 1883, spent much of his life at Manila, in China, and in London,
•od died at Salem, Mass., in Apr. 1899. 8. Louisa, died young.
Lewis De Blois (10, p. 16) and his brother Francis (4, viii, p. 11), with others,
arrived at Boston from London in the ship Union^ 25 Sept. 1784. (Boston
Records, Miscellaneous Papers.) This Lewis De Blois had a son, not re-
corded on page 16, as the following obituary notice from the Boston Independent
Chronicle and Universal Advertiser of 18 July 1793 proves : ^' At Philadelphia,
Master Dalton Deblois, only son of Mr. Lewis Deblois, merchant, of that city.**
The wife of Nathaniel James De Blois (11, vii, p. 17) was Ang^ique Louise
Vlrglnie, daughter of Jean Claude and Anne (Onfr6) Rousse, who was bom in
Tirginia 22 July 1820. The Rousse family subsequently removed to Augusta,
Ga., and later to Columbus, Ga. She married (1) in 1837 Homer Hurd, probably
from Milwaukee, Wis., who died about 1889. The only child of this marriage
was Emily Elizabeth Hurd, who was bom in 1838 or 1889 and died unmarried
9 June 1909. Mrs. Hurd lived with her sister, Emily Jane Rousse, who was
married 2 Jan. 1843 to John Amory De Blois (19, p. 20). About 1845 Mrs. Hurd
married (2) Nathaniel James De Blois, younger brother of John Amory De Blois,
her sister's husband. Nathaniel James De Blois died s,p. at the United States
Hotel, Boston, 13 Aug. 1858, aged 52 years, 7 months, 28 days; and his widow
married (3) at Newport, R. I., 6 Sept'. 1864, as his second wife. Dr. Edward
Llnzee Cunningham of Boston, whose first wife was Adeline Elizabeth Amory.
Dr. Cunningham was bom in Boston 2 Jan. 1810, and died at Newport, R. I., in
1905, the last surviving member of the class of 1829 of Harvard Colle^re. His
wife, Mrs. Ang^lique L. V. Cunningham, died at Newport 7 June 1898. The
two brothers, John Amory and Natluiniel James De Blois, were at one time in
the cotton business in the South, the former during the winter months pur-
chasing cotton at Columbus, (H., and sending it down the river, and the latter
188 Mtes [Ai«it
shipping it by sea from Appalachicola, Fla. (Information of Dr. Thomas Amory
De Blois of Boston ; Begister, vol. 66, p. 422 ; Heraldic Journal^ vol. 4, p. 41.)
Catharine Laughton, the first wife of (George De Blois (12, p. 17), was
daughter of Henry Laughton.
According to Arnold's Vital Record of Rhode Island, toI. 15, p. 80, the wife
of Lewis De Blois, Jr. (13, p. 17) was Betsey Lawton, the Providence CrogeiU
of 25 Dec. 1784, as quoted by Arnold, recording the marriage of Lewis Deblois
'•^ of this town, merchant, and Betsey Lawton, daughter* of Isaac, late of New-
port, at Nova Scotia." This Isaac Lawton was one of the five or six Lawtons
who settled in New Brunswick during or at the close of the Revelation.
(Sabine's American Loyalists, vol. 2; N. T. Genealogical and Bioffraphtoal
Jiecord^ vol. 87, p. 211.) Lewis De Blois apparently had a daughter Smh
(perhaps the name Mary on p. 17 of the present volume of the Rbqister should
be Sarah), for in the first Trinity Church at St. John, N. B., there was a tablet
with the following inscription : *^ Sacred To the Memory of Sarah DeBlou,
Late Superintendent in Trinity Church Sunday School, Who died 1*^ June*. 1869,
in the 78'^ Tear of her Age " It is said also that Lewis De Blois had a
son Gilbert.
It is said that Rev. Henry Despard De Blois (16, vi, p. 19) was bom 7 Dee.
1880, and that 18 Oct. 1831 is the date of his baptism.
The Columbian Centinel of 26 Jan. 1805 announces the marriage of Frands
Gilbert De Blois (17, p. 19) as follows: ''In Philadelphia, on the 6^ inst Mr.
Francis Deblois, to Miss Millicent Conner, both of this town."
Boston^ Mass, Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eatoh.
Plaisted.— William Plaisted, whose son William married at Gilmanton, N. H.,
29 Nov. 1781, Hannah^ Huckins {vide supra^ p. 188), was probably a grandson of
William* (Roger^) Plaisted, who is mentioned in King's Lieut. Roger Plaisted,
p. 11. He would be, therefore, William* Plaisted, mariner, husbandman, of
Somers worth, N. H., 1748, of Moultonborou^, N. H., 1774, and of New Hamp-
ton, N. H., 1779. He was bom probably at Dover, N. H., about 1720, was living
in 1788 (Straflbrd Deeds, vol. 10, p. 476;, but Is not found in the Census of 1790.
He married about 1743 Judith* Riclcer, daughter of John' and Hannah (Grarland),
who was bom at Dover(?) 16 Nov. 1720 (Maine Genealogist^ vol. 2, p. 107).
In June 1743 William Plaisted of Somersworth, mariner, bought 13 acres there
of Thomas Tibbetts and Olive his wife (N. H. Deeds, vol. 27, p. 478). In June
1768 he conveyed 16 acres there (i6., vol. 96, p. 32), and in Jan. 1774 his wife
Judith released her right of dower in the same 16 acres, where she and her hus-
band **now" live (Strafford Deeds, vol. 1, p. 131). Tate records in his manor
script diary (p. 84) that '' Wed. Feb. 21, 1774, Mr William Plaisted & son Wm 4
families mov'd from Somersworth for a place called Moulton's Gore." In Dec.
1779 he bought 50 acres in the northeasterly comer of New Hampton, on'tlM
easterly slope of Pettee Hill, adjoining on the south lands of his son William
and on the west lands of his son Samuel (Strafford Deeds, vol. 4, p. 159).
He is probably the William Plaisted who in 1776 was second lieutenant in the
Moultonborough company (N. H. State Papers, vol. 12, p. 8, vol. 14, p. 296).
Children of William^ and Judith (Ricker) Plaisted, bom at Somersworth,
N. H. (Tate's MS. Diary, p. 15) : Hannah, 14 May 1746(?) ; William, 1760(?;,
for whom see below ; Olive ; Samuel, 1757.
William* Plaisted, son of William and Judith (Ricker), bom about 1760, mar-
ried (1)1 Aug. 1769 Anne Ford, daughter of John, who was bom probably at
Berwick, Me. (Tate's MS. Diary, pp. 43, 49) ; he married (2) 29 Nov. 1781
Hannah* Huckins, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Fernald). By his first wife be
had: Daniel, bom at Somersworth In 1770; Naomi, bom at Somersworth 26
Sept. 1771 ; a child, bom at Somersworth 14 Oct. 1773, died on the same day;
Ford, bora perhaps at Moultonborough in 1776 (?), said to have married ■
Ames and to have removed to Canada or to Philadelphia (i&., p. 43). For chil-
dren of William* Plaisted by his second wife, vide supra, p. 183.

Dedication of the New Building of the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society.— The new building of the Society at 9 Ashbnrton Place, Bo»-
ton, in which the work of the Society has been carried on and its meetings have
been held since 21 Dec. 1912 (yideaupra^ p. 91), was formally dedicated at 3 p.m.
on Tuesday, 18 Mar. 1918, the sixty-eighth anniversary of the incorporation of
the Society. The exercises were held in Wn.DER Hall, the spacious auditorium
which perpetuates the name of the late Marshall Pinckney Wilder, LL.D., Pres-
ident of the Society during the years 1868-1886. After prayer had been offered
by Bev. James De Normandie, D.D., of Roxbury, Mass., President Baxter brief-
ly recalled to the minds of his hearers the names of those who in former years
labored for the building up of the Society and of those to whose aid in more re-
cent years the Society Is especially indebted for the new flre-proof structure.
He then presented Hon. John Davis Long, LL.D., of Hingham, Mass., who de-
livered a scholarly address pre-eminently appropriate to the occasion. At the
conclusion of the exercises refreshments were served in the smaller hall to the
many members and friends present. A full account of the dedicatory exercises,
with the addresses of President Baxter and Governor Long, will be published
by the Society.
LAFHAM.^The Lapham Genealogy, by Emory D. Lapham, East Rochester,

Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
famish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

but of English descent, by Henry A. Simmons, Box 754, Northampton, Mass.

JULY, 1913
DAVID FLOYD
By Chakvino Howabo, Esq., of Winthrop, Mass.
David Floyd, a resident member of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society from 1898, and since February 1912 the
chairman of its Committee on Collection of Kecords, died at his
home at Winthrop, Mass., 17 March 1913. He was bom at
Winthrop 26 October 1854, the son of Edward and Lucretia
(Tewksbury) Floyd, and a descendant of Capt. John Floyd, who
was living at Lynn, Mass., in 1662, and later lived at Maiden, near
the old Chelsea line, and served in 1676 as a lieutenant in King^^
Philip's War.* Among David Floyd's ancestors were early settlers
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Mayflower Pilgrims of Ply-
mouth, as well as soldiers of the Revolution.
Edward Floyd, the father of David, had four other children. He
was a man of parts in his time. He held several town offices, being a
member of the legislature in 1851, treasurer of North Chelsea before
Winthrop was set off in 1852, and for many years the first treasurer of
the new town. He was known as ** the Squire," and such he was,
being a justice of the peace, writing deeds, and measuring land, in
addition to tilling his small farm, after the manner of a true village
squire of fifty years ago ; for then Winthrop was a small country
town, and agriculture was the principal occupation of the inhabitants.
David Floyd had the schooling of the time in the Winthrop pub-
lic schools, which was not liberal, but in spite of this he became a
scholar through much reading, contact with the world, and travel.
He went to a business college in Boston, and later he took the full
Chautauqua course. He married, 9 June 1886, Belle A. Seavey,
who survives her husband. They had no children. His home was
always in Winthrop. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, which as an organization was much benefited by his varied
services.
On the death of his father in 1879 he took charge of his business,
pursuing in a moderate way and graduaQy increasing his real estate

and conveyancing business until 1889, when he established himidf
in the general business of real estate, insurance, and conyeyancing
at Winthrop and at 34 School Street, Boston, occupying the same
offices and carrying on his work with ever increasing energy until
the day of his death. By his unusual ability, and with his strict
habits of industry, Mr. Floyd became a successful business miiL
He was a director in the Massachusetts B^ Estate Exchange, vioe-
president and director of the County Savings Bank, and a director
of the Winthrop Cooperative Bank. He was a trustee of mnch
property and of many interests, and in general was adviser and
helper not only for various persons and estates in a strictly busineH
way, but also for the widowed and fatherless in Winthrop and out-
side. Probably none of his fellow-citizens knew how far his help-
fulness reached in all directions.
Mr. Floyd early became a conspicuous town officer, serving hk
town in various capacities and with superior ability, as assessor fer
seven years, treasurer for eleven years, treasurer of the sinking^bnd
for twenty-five years, moderator at various town-meetings, and a
member of numerous committees for investigation and report on xomxj
matters vital to the town's interests and policy. Among the moit
important of his services for his native town were those connected
with the establishing and building of a sewerage system, those ren-
dered as a member of the appropriations committed which made im
the annual budget for the town's expenditures and practically planned
its financial policy for many years, and also his services ad cfaainnjin
of the committee to investigate the establishment of playgroonda
for the town, an investigation which he conducted in a most ex-
haustive and thorough manner, with very happy results. The
methods reported and adopted in relation to this matter attracted
state-wide attention, and the Boston Transcript said of the report
that it " is one of the best civic documents of the year."
In 1883 Mr. Floyd, with five others, was appointed to estahlidi
a reading-room and library in the town. This was the beginning of
the Winthrop Public Library, of which Mr. Floyd was a trustee
continuously from that time imtQ his death, serving as secretaij or
chairman the entire period. He excelled all his associates on the
libra r}' board, not only in length of service, but also in the extent
and quality of his work, no cause, perhaps, being closer to his heait
An excellent library building, well set in spacious grounds, waa
built in 1898, i\lr. Floyd's good judgment never failing, whether
the matter in hand was one of construction or of selecting employeei
or pictures. The historical room commenced at that time, with its
splendid collection, stands as the fruition of his dreams andamoni-
ment to his effort and ability.
He was chairman of the trustees of the Winthrop Improvement
and Historical Association, was a foremost and much-^ppredsted
worker in behalf of its varied activities in the interests of the towa,
)918] David Floyd 197
apd acted as chairman of the committee which obtained the fimds
for the purchase of the old Deane Winthrop House. In 1902 he
took a conspicuous part, both as library trustee and as a member of
the general committee, in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the incorporation of the town. In 1912 he headed a coip-
niittee which conducted a celebration in connection with the old
Gibbons Elm, it being the two hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary
of the original allotments of land at *^ Pullen Point," Among the
many minor duties which he assumed was the presidency of the
Winthrop Law and Order League, at a time when he thought that
the good name of the town was at stake.
Mr. Floyd was representative to the General Court in 1887 and
1888, was a member, and chairman for a considerable term, of the
Winthrop Kepublican To¥m Committee, and sometimes served on
important State commissions.
In 1897 he joined the Massachusetts Society, Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution, became one of the original members of its Old
Suffolk Chapter, and held important official positions both in the
local chapter and in the state society. He was ako prominent in
Masonic circles.
On historical, civic, and local topics Mr. Floyd was a writer of
no mean ability, and contributed numerous articles for publication
alcmg these lines. From time to time each year he furnished to the
Winthrop and to the Boston papers a digest of the growth and
activities of Winthrop, particularly in relation to its reaJ estate in-
taneats. He also aided Judge Mellen Chamberlain and the Massa-
cinisetts Historical Society in preparing the Documentary History
of Chelsea, the home of his ancestors, which embraced the Win-
throp region.
Sometimes he ^ broke out in verse," but this was usually for the
benefit of his more intimate friends or for special occasions. He
broad in his reading, knew books better than the average busi-
man, perused the best English Kterature, and had a true sense
nf humor. He often spent one to two hours a day in browsing in
ihe book-stores, to find the best books for the use of the Winthrop
PkibUc Library or a book of which some person was in particular
need. He knew the historical and legendary scenes of New Eng-
land as few others know them.
He never indulged in any conspicuous or extreme pleasures, al-
ttoogh he knew how to enjoy the good things of every-day life
merj day. His physique, like his mind and spirit, was most ex-
: aellent ; he had a good body, well proportioned, a strong build, an
I fonct carriage, a quick step, and a cheerful and restful countenance.
\ Wm sincerity, candor, and constancy beamed out from his magnetic
penonality at every angle of his many-sided life.
He was the lea^g citizen of Winthrop. He was lavish of his
toward all civioi patriotic, philanthropic, and intellectual

moyementSy many of which appealed to his bogy life. He had a
fairness of temperament, a clearness of understanding, and a firm-
ness of character that made him a good judge of the problems rf
every-day life, our times, and our people. He was a man of vision,
who could by the eye of experience and faith look far into the future.
He was at all times an optimist. His manifold activities and Us
qualities of heart and life bound him with dose ties to many peopk
in the varied work and various walks of life.

THE SAVAGE FAMILY
By Lawbencb Pjl&k, Esq., of Groton, Mmi.
1. Thomas^ Savage was bom, probably in England, in 1607 or 1608.
He embarked from London in the ship Plantery Nic^ Trarice, masteri
in Apr. 1635, having been certified by the minister of St. Albans, Hertfi»d-
shire. In the list of the ship's passengers he is called a tailor, and his igs
is given as 27, which corresponds with his age as given by him in a degt^
sition dated 26 (9) 1664, in which he states that he is abont 57 yean oU
(Essex County Files, vol. 10, p. 59). According to his descendant, Hon.
James Savage, the noted antiquarian of Boston, he was a son of William
Savage, a blacksmith of Taunton in Somersetshire, and was apprenticed
by his father 9 Jan. 1 620/1 to the Merchant Taylors Guild of London.
Aside from this statement, I have found nothing to show that Thomis
Savage had any connection with William, the blacksmith of Taunton, la
his will, dated 28 June 1675 but probably written some years earlier,
Thomas Savage leaves money to " my coz Leonard Savage in Barbadoes "
and " to my sister." The sister's name is written in the will, but it is
difficult to decipher. It is, however, apparently " Perking.*' These two
bequests, together with another to his son Arthur, who was probably dead
when the will was dated, are interlined in the original, and do not appear

In the registers of the church of St. John sub-Castro at Lewes, co. Sussex,
is recorded the burial, 9 Nov. 1617, of Leonard Savage, mercer and hoote-
holder. In the will of Henry Crabbe of St. Gregory, London, merchant tailor,
dated 25 Nov. 1620, mention is made of William, Margaret, and Anne (ill
under 21 years), children of Leonard Savage, deceased, "my late master,"
who is doubtless the same man who was buried at Lewes in 1617. In 1784
a great-grandson of Thomas Savage, Samuel Phillips Savage, compiled a
chart of the family from information given him before her death in 1755
by his grandmother Hannah (Gillam) Phillips, a granddaughter of ThonUH
Savage, and by Mrs. Joshua Wells (Sarah Savage), another granddaughter.
Mrs. Phillips was born in Boston in 1G62, twenty years before her grand*
father Savage died, and doubtless derived the information directly from
him. In this chart, which is now in the possession of a descendant of the
compiler, it is stated that Thomas Savage was a linen draper (mercer) and
had two brothers in England, one of whom was Arthur, ^' Dean of Cst-
1913] I%e Savage Family 199
Ikle,'' while the other, name unknown, lived ahont fif^ milee from Lon-
don, which is the distance between London and Lewes. Arthur Savage,
I find upon investigation, was not dean of Carlisle, but a prebendary or
▼i6&4lecanns of the Cathedral of Carlisle, and in his will made in 1698 he
beqaeathed money to Arthur, James, and Elizabeth, the children of his
n^hew James Savage, a sadler of Lewes. Arthur Savage matriculated
at Oxford 16 Mar. 1637/8 at the age of 16, and in the cat^ogue of Oxford
Uniyersity graduates he is called a son of John Savage, Esq., ** of Wootton
Hall in the County of Salop." It seems impossible to identify this estate,
and researches thus far have not disclosed any will of a John Savage in
Shropshire. If Thomas Savage's father was named William, it is a little
strange that he gave his fathers name to none of his twelve sons. He did,
however, call one son Arthur, a name which has since been frequently used
in the family, and named another Richard, which was also the name of a
Savage who married at Lewes in 1673.
In the January after his arrival Thomas Savage was admitted to the
church in Boston. In the following month he was given seven acres of
marsh ground at Muddy River, now Brookline, Mass., *^ for the keeping
of hb cattle (being in number, five) " (Boston Records), and on 25 May
1686 he was made a freeman of the town of Boston, upon whose records
Ids name appears with frequency during the remainder of his life. In the
religious controversy in which his mother-in4aw, the famous Mistress Anne
Hutchinson, became involved. Savage was one of her adherents, and pre-
Hons to her trial was disarmed and obliged to leave Boston, as he did ap-
parently late in 1637. With William Coddington, William Hutchinson,
and others. Savage purchased Aquidneck of the natives, and began the
settlement of Rh^e Island. Soon after his arrival at Aquidneck Savage
recanted, and was allowed to return to Boston, where he was again settled,
psobably as early as June 1638*. In 1637 he became a member of the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, where his name
slands fourth on the roll of membership, and in 1651 he succeeded Capt.
Bobert Keayne as captain of the Company, holding this position again in
1859, 1668, 1675, and 1680. In 1651 and 1652 he was the recorder or
town clerk of Boston, and a selectman in 1652. On 1 2 Mar. 1 653/4 Savage,
with one other, was chosen to represent Boston in the General Court,
holding that position until 1657. He was again a representadve from 1 659
Id 1662, and in 1677 and 1678, and held the office of assistant from 1680
to his death. In 1669 he was one of the founders and members of the
Third (Old South) Church, and was a liberal contributor toward establish-
ioga free school in Boston. In 1673 he, with others, erected a barricade
in Boston Harbor for protection against an expected attack upon Boston
hw the Dutch. This barricade eventually grew into Long Wharf, portions
Of which have ever since been owned by some of his descendants. In 1675,
■I the beginning of King Philip's War, Savage was appointed to the chief
command of the Massachusetts forces, Denison, the major-general, being
ptereoted by illness from participating, and on 28 June he set out upon
the campaign at the head of a force numbering about three hundred men.
IhKm their arrival at the Wampanoag country in the northeastern portion
01 Bhode Island they found that Philip and his forces had fled, and peace
being soon declared, Savaee and his men returned to Boston, where the
anny was disbanded. Philip, however, was soon again upon the war-path,
and in the spring of 1676 Savage was once more placed at the head of the
Ifassachusetts troops and acquitted himself with distinction during the re-
■ainder of the war.

Thomas Thacher, who had fallen into the hands of Barbary
pirates. Just when this capture took place has not yet been dis-
covered, but Savage and his nephew and other members of the

as a preacher at Dunstable, haying, after his graduation, been a
schoolmaster at Roxbury. On 16 Dec. 1686 he was ordained as
the first settled minister at Dunstable, where he remained until his
death. His widow, soon after his death, removed from Dunstable,
and lived during the last years of her life with her son Habijah, at
whose house in Attleborough, Mass., she died. Children : 1. Far-

8. Thomas Sayaoe^ {fhomai^)^ born in fioston and baptized at the
t^rat Chorch 17 May 1640^ was probably a sdiolar at the Boston
Latin School in 1649. He became a member of the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company in 1665, its first sergeant in 1674,
its ensign in 1681, and its lientehant in 1686 ; he was also an officer
in the Boston militia, rose to the rank of lieutenant<K)lonel of a
Boston regiment in 1702, and held this position until his death.
He served daring King Philip's war^ was an officer in Sir Edmund
Andres's army, and became a freeman on 12 Mar. 1689/90. In
i 678 he testified that he was master of the barque Dolphin^ engaged
in trade wiUi the West Indies. In Aug. 1690 he, with two others,
was sent to Albany by the Goyemment to negotiate with the Ma-
quas Indians in an endeavor to enUst them on the English side
against the Eastern Indians, and in the same year he led one of
three regiments in Sir William Phips's unsuccessful expedition
aeainst Quebeo^ being the first officer to land. On 7 Oct. 1690
his ship ran aground in the St Lawrence River, within gunshot
of the shore, but was floated by Sir William. He returned to
Boston with the expedition on 19 Kov.^ and wrote '' An Account
of the late action of the New-Englanders under the command of Sir
William Phips^ against the French at Canada," which was pub-
lished in London in 1691.* He became a merchant in Boston, and
in many deeds calls himself, or is called, '^ Shop-keeper." He be-
came a member of the Third (Old South) Church in 1702, his wife
having been admitted to this drarch two years earlier. He was one
t>f the executors of his father's will, and was attorney for his brother
Perez, who was often absent in England and Spain. He lived on
Ann (now North^ Street, and had a warehouse adjoining on Scot-
tow's (now Scott) Alley, which in 1782 was sold by the other heirs
to his soil Habijahi
He married about 1664 Elizabbth Scottow, baptized 1 Aug.
1647, " aged about 2 days,'' died in Boston 29 Aug. 1714, daughter
of Capt. Joshua and Lydia of Boston.
He died in Boston 2 July 1705, and three days later was given
li military funeral, with the ''Street^" says Sewall, ''very much
fill'd with People all along." He was buried in his father's tomb
in Khig's Chapel Burial-Ciround. His will, made 23 Feb. 1 697/8
and proved 21 July 1705, appoints his wife sole executrix and
leaves his property both real and personal to her for her life, and after
her death it is to be equally divided between his six children. If,
however, his wife should retnarry, then one half of the property is
to be divided between his children and the other half is to go to
\nB wife for her life and to be disposed of by her among his chudren
and grandchildren. To his son Thomas he gives '' my Silver hilted
Swora that was my Fathers and my frin^d Scarfe," to his son
Habijah ''my Seal Ring that was my Fathers," and to his son
Arthur " my little Birding piece."

4 Ephraim' Savage (TTiomas^), bom in Boston 20 July 1645 and
baptized at the First Church in Boston 27 July 1645, was probar
bly a scholar at the Boston Latin School in 1654. He entered
1918] The Savage Family 207
Harvard College in 1658, and was graduated in 1662, and at the
time of his death was the oldest Hying graduate of that institu-
tion and the sole survivor of his class. He was made a freeman
15 May 1672, took the oath of allegiance 11 ]Nov. 1678, and became
a trader in Boston. In 1674 he became a member of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Company, and in 1683 was elected its
captain, after holding minor offices in the Company. On 5 May
1676 he was ordered by the General Court to march to Brookfield,
Mass., with provisions for the relief of the garrison there, and to
take command of the garrison. At the session of 22 Oct. 1677 he
was appointed ensign in his father's company of militia, and on 17
Mar. 1681/2 succcNdded his father as captain of the company. At
the session of 10 Oct. 1683 he was '* added vnto the comittee for
the ouersight of the repajres of the Castle." About 1688 he re-
moved to Reading, Mass., the home of his second wife, where he
became the wealthiest and most influential citizen of the town. In
July 1690 he was appointed captain of a company of men from
Reading and elsewhere in Middlesex Co., under Maj. Nathliniel
Wade of Medford, in Sir William Phips's expedition against Quebec ;
and in the assault upon the town on 10 Oct. his ship, witii sixty
men on board, ^'ran arground upon the North-Shoar, near two
Miles from Quebec," but, although attacked violently by two or
three hundred of the enemy, escaped capture. He was, however,
so badly wounded in his left thigh that his life was despaired of,
and LQ Mar. 1697 the Province voted him a yearly pension to date
.from the day on which he was wounded. He probably returned to
Boston from Reading in the late spring of 1692, and in that year
was elected town clerk of Boston, an office which he held until
1696, being also a selectman, sealer of weights and measures, and
an assessor of the town. On 12 Mar. 1703/4 he was one of a
committee chosen by the inhabitants of the district of Muddy River
(now Brookline), Mass., ^*to consider and draw up" a petition to
be presented to the General Court praying " that they may be di&-
mbt from the Town of Boston, & become a Township of them-
selves." In 1703-8 and again in 1710 he represented Boston in
the General Court, and in 1709-10 was once more elected a select-
man. He was for several years an officer in the Boston militia.
On 11 July 1707, as captain, with fifty men under his command,
he arrived at Casco Bay in the frigate Ruih, and joined the cam-
paign under Col. John March of Newbury, as gefteral, in an abortive
attempt to reduce Port Royal, supposed to be headquarters for
privateers in carrying on an illegal business with the Indians. In
a few weeks this expedition returned to Boston. In Nov. 1714
Savage presented a petition to the justices of Suffolk Co., praying
for an allowance for serving as the sheriff of the county, and for
taking care of the '^ Goal " of the county '^ and the prisoners
therein." The great fire of 1711 started in one of his out-buildings^
near his house in Savage's (now Williams) Court. Late in 1717
or early in 1718 he removed from Boston to some place as yet
unknown, but this absence was probably of short duration. In a
letter from Governor Shute to Father Rale, under date of 21 Feb.
1717/18, Savage's conduct as magistrate in punishing Indians is ex-
cusea on the ground that '' If the Indians or French come into our
308 Old Boston Families [Jiity
towns, they most observe the laws of the land and that he did not
otherwise with the Indians than he wonld have done by "RngHftli
people in like circumstances."
He married first, about 1670, Mart QniKCT,bom 4 Mar. 1649/50,
died in Boston 7 Oct. 1676, eldest daughter of £dmand and Joanna
(Hoar) of Braintree, the latter being a sister of Leonard Hoar,
President of Haryaid College from 1672 to 1674/5. He married
secondly, in Boston, Maj. Thomas Clarke offidating, 26 Feb. 1677/8,
Mrs. Sarah (Hocoh) Walker, daughter of Rev. Samuel and
Sarah (Symmes) of Reading, and widow of Obadiah, a Boston mei^
chant. Her mother was a daughter of Rev. Zechariah Symmes of
Charlestown, Mass., and a sister of Ephraim Savage's stepmother.
She was born at Reading about 1 652, and died in Boston, according
to Sewall, 12 Jan. 1686/7, of smallpox, which '^came out upon her
about a week ago two or three dayes after her Travail." She wu
buried on the following day in the Savage tomb in King's Chapel
Burial-Ground. He married thirdly, in Boston, 12 Apr. 1686,
Mrs. Elizabeth (Norton) Stmmes, daughter of Capt Francis
and Mary of Charlestown, and widow of Timothy, who was a brother
of Ephraim Savage's stepmother. She was bom probably at
Charlestown about 1643, and died in Boston 13 Apr. 1710, being
buried about sunset on 16 Apr. with '' Winthrop, Sewall ; Addington,
Sergeant ; Walley, Belchar " as bearers. This third marriage was
solemnized by Rev. Charles Morton of Charlestown, and b one of
the earliest of the New England marriages of whidi there is anj
record at which a clergyman officiated. He married fourthly, in
Boston, 8 Jan. 1712/18, Mrs. Elizabeth (Browne) Butleb,
daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth (Usher) of Boston, and widow
(with six children) of Peter, mariner and merchant of Boston.
8he was born in Boston 17 Is'ov. 1G64, but the date of her death is
unknown. Soon after this marriage Savage was appointed goardkn
of his wife*s minor children.
He died in Boston, and was buried there 2 Mar. 1730/1, in his
eighty-sixth year. He was one of the executors of his fatner*s will,
and probably the last survivor of his father's children. His own
will, made 3 Dec. 1730 and proved 22 Mar. 1730/1, leaves the
principal part of his property to his wife Elizabeth and a gold ring
to each of her three children by her former husband^ besides r^
membering his three daughters.

5. Thomas' Savage {HaHjahj^ Thomai^)^ bom in Boston 19 Oct.
1664, a goldsmith and silversmith, was admitted a freeman on
22 Mar. 1689/90. He became a member of the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company in 1693, its first sergeant in 1700^
ensign in 1701, lieutenant in 1703, and captain in 1705. On 12
Mar. 1693/4 he was chosen a clerk of the market for the ensuing
year, and on 8 Mar. 1696/7 a constable. At the end of 1705 or
early in 1706 Savage removed with his family to Bermuda, for in
Feb. 1705/6, and again as late as May 1713, he is called <'of
Bermuda." Probably in 1714 he left Bermuda permanently, and
on 30 Oct. of that year he was back in Boston. In Mar. 1716/17 **
he and his wife are *^ of Boston," and sell land on Pudding Lane
to Mrs. Savage's brother, Samuel Phillips. On 14 June 1725
Savage was chosen by the town to serve as sealer of weights and
measures, an office which he held until, '' being grown infirm/' he
was relieved of his duties 19 Mar. 1735/6. On 2 July 1738 he was
dismissed from the F^st Church in Boston '^ to a chh in Newbury
M' Lowell Pastor," but he had probably removed to Newbury at

6. Thomas' Savage {Thomas,^ Thomas^)^ bom in Boston 2 Aug. 1668,
was probably a scholar at the Boston Latin School in 1G77. In a
" List of Inhabitants in Boston in 1695," Savage is called "mari-
ner,'* but later being prominent in the military affairs of Boston and
colonel of the Boston regiment, he was commonly kno\ivn by his
military title. He became a freeman 22 Mar. 1689/90, and was then
called a captain, and, as *' Coll. Thomas Savage," he was chosen a
selectman of Boston 8 Mar. 1702/3, 13 Mar. 1703/4, and 10 Mar.
1711/12. On 9 Mar. 1701/2 he was chosen a constable, to serve

garet Lynde, born at Charlestown 24 or 31 Jan. 1668/9, died in
Boston between 21 Mar. 1720/1 and 5 July 1721, daughter of Hon.
Joseph and Sarah (Davison) of Charlestown. He died in Boston
3 Mar. 1720/1, and Sewall notices his funeral at length in his Diary,
saying that lie " was buried in his Grandfather Savage's Tomb in
the old Burying place" (King's Chapel); but the editors of the
Diary have fallen into the common error of confusing him with his
cousin of the same name (vide supra, 5). The inventory of his es-
tate, in which he is called a merchant, amounted to £3899, and in-
cluded an Indian man valued at £60, 232 oz. of silver valued at
£139. 4s., and 8 tons of Spanish iron. The real estate included a
brick house and stable in Dock Square, a lot of land on Boston Neck,
913] The Savage Family 211

was at the time of Ills marriage (1710) a merchant dealing in Wedt
India goods, with a shop on Long Wharf, but very soon he became
a sea-captain and ship-owner, in the trade between Boston and Lon-
don. He arrived at Boston in Nov. 1712 from a twenty-nine days'
passage from Falmouth, England. Li May 1714 he was in command
of the ship Province Galley and a part-owner, sailing from Boston to
French, Portuguese, Dutch, and Mediterranean ports.* On 6 Apr.
1716 he arrived at Boston from London, where on 24 Feb. he had,
says Sewall in his Diary, stood upon the scaffold on Tower Hill
and witnessed the beheading of Lords Derwentwater and Eenmure
for complicity in the late Jacobite uprising.f In 1716/17 Savage
was appointed a constable of Boston. In Apr. (probably the 19 th)
1720 he was appointed naval officer of the port of Annapolis Royal
in Nova Scotia and also secretary of the province, thus becoming
the first provincial secretary of Nova Scotia. To him as well as
to the collector of customs all masters of vessels arriving at or
departing from Annapolis Royal were required to report On 6
May 1720 a council was formed at Annapolis Royal, of which Savage
was made a member. On this council, among others, were abo
Savage's brother-in-law, Gillam Phillips, Paul Mascarene, and
Cypnan Southack of Boston. Savage's immediate successor as
naval officer has not been discovered nor is it clear just how long he
remained a member of the council ; but the following extract £rom
« On 9 Nov. 1713 the General Court of the Province voted to sell the vessel known
as ttie Provines OalUyt ** with or without her Guns," and in 1714 John Oalton and
8avage'8 brother-in-law, Cornelius Waldo, both merchants of Boston, were owners of
tinwe-quarters of this vessel, Savage beine the commander. In May 1714 Savage, un-
der oraers from Oulton and Waldo, sailed in this vessel from Marblehead with a cargo
€f fish for Gibraltar, Lisbon, and Bilbao. He was to proceed to London or elsewhere,
if be foand it necessary in order to procure a good rreight. On 18 Majr 1716 Oulton
end Waldo brought suit in the Inferior Court of Common Pleas against Savage to re-
eover damages of £2000 sterling, he according to their statement having ** misap-

814 Old Boston Families [Jolf
Niles's History of the Indian and French Wars (4 Mass. BisL
Soc. CoU,y vol. bj p. 841) proves that he waa in Annapolis Royal in
1722:
Captain Sarage, Captain Blin, and Ifr. Newton, were at tbii
time coming from Annapolis; and .... went into Fussaa-
auoddy for water. They were no sooner ashore, but they fooad
themselTes hemmed in by a great body of the saTstges; the fVeaeh
basely standing by, ana suffering them in their insalta. Ci^Mau
Savage got off, and returned to Boston. Those he left b^ind, ate
some difficulty and expense, were released.
Savage was living in Boston in 1725, in which jemr he bonglit
pew numbered Nor& 23 in Christ Church. In 1728 he was ap-
pointed a coroner in Boston, and in May 1729 we find that he took
oath as a marshal of the Court of Vice-Admiralty for Rhode Island.
In << The New-England Weekly Journal " for 8 Apr.. 1728 he ad-
vertises <' Choice New Coffee To be Sold at hia House in
Brattle-Street, Boston for Eight Shillmgs per Pound." In 1702
he became a member of the Third (Old South) Church, hut as b^
fore stated he bought a pew in 1725 in Christ Chorch. This pew
remained in his possession untU his deaths and in 1732 he presented
a silver christening basin to this church, which still owns it.
In 1710, six days before his marriage, he bought of Elixabe^
widow of Thaddeus Mackarty of Boston, land on the westerly side
of Brattle Square, with the house standing thereon, known thea
and for many years afterwards as the '* White House,"* which wai
his home for the remainder of his life, with the exception of his
absence in Nova Scotia, when he rented a house in Annapolis
Royal.
He married in Boston, Rev. Ebenezer Pemberton officiating, V
June 1710, Faith Phillips, his first cousin once removed, bom,
probably in Boston, in 1690, died there 6 June 1775, daoghter d
Samuel and Hannah (Gillam)t and sister of his« brother Habijsh
Savage's wife.
lie died in his house in Brattle Square, Boston, after a long iD-
DC88, 20 Apr. 1735, and was buried three days later. In his wiD,
dated 10 Dec. 1733, Savage appoints his wife executrix; and in a
codicil, dated 6 Jan. 1 734/5, he desires that a tenth part of the annial
income from his estate be given to the poor in quarterly paymenta
The will was proved 3 June 1735. The inventory shows property,
real and personal, amounting to £5263. 7s. 5d. The real estate OOQ-
sisted of his '^ Mansion House " in Brattle Square, together with a
house and land adjoining, half of a brick house and land in Con-
hill, ^' fronting ye Town House," and 20 acres of land in Dedham.
Among the items of personal property are the following : 10 ** mta-

(3) A Hotchkiss family settled in Norfolk, Conn., abovt 1708, bat it
was not connected with the line of Samuel^ in time to be inserted in its
proper place. It is now nearly certain that James, Enos, and Samuel, the
heads of the Norfolk branch, were two sons and a grandson of Samuel* (12)
of East Haven.

Haven, bat unfortunately the name was given as Enos in Dodd's
East Haven Register, and this error was followed in the account
given above (Reoistbb, vol. 66^ p. 830). Elihu, Elizabeth, and
Ruth, children of Enos and Elizabeth, were baptized at Norfolk
2 Oct. 1763, together with three children of James and Dorothy,
a fact which serves to identify Enos and James as the East
Haven brothers.

(4) Thomas^ Hotchkiss (18, i) was probably the man reported dead
or captured in the French War, 7 Sept. 1756. If so, his &mily may not
have removed from Hamden as supposed. It will be noted that he had a
son Samuel, bom 7 July 1732. In 1816 the estate of Samuel Hotchkiss,
Jr., of Hamden was distributed to his children Samuel, Amasa, and Sarah,
and the children of his daughter Mary, deceased.
(5) Thanks to the courtesy of Mrs. F. A. Sanford of Westfield, Mass.,
it is possible to make additions and corrections in the line of Dba. Gideon^
Hotchkiss (36). Descendants are certain that the twelfth child attri-
bnted to him, Asahel,^ was in reality the child of Gideon's eldest son,
Jesse.* Gideon's daughter Olive (36, xviii) married William Jones.
86^ L Jesse* Hotchkiss (Gideany^ Stephen^* Joihuoy* Samuel^), bom
9 Oct 1788, died 29 Sept. 1776. He married, 2 Oct 1759,
Charity Mallobt of Stratford.

* The words, ** In order to get a lottre granted them for to have a pear belt [i. e*.
pier built] in the town of ffosport," which are found at the top of p. ^ of the orifinal
records, seem to be a continuation of this record, bein^ a restatement of a part of the
last sentence. Such a petition to be allowed to establish a lottery for the purpose of
building *' a pier or bason at Gosport '* was actually prepared. It was dated 2o June
1766, and had 77 signatures, which are copied with a few errors by Jenness in his
Histor^r of the Isles of Shoals. Of these names about 46 are those of Shoalers, the
other si^aturcs being those of friends on shore, and among them are names of great
weisht in the province. The petition was presented 1 July 1766; but not until Aus.
176/ was permission given to bring in a bill, which was presently passed. In Ool.
1768 the managers of the Shoals lottery, having sold few tickets, asked the Assembly
for further directions. It was agreed that owing to the scaroitv of money there was
no prospect of carrying out the project. £arly in 1770 Daniel Rogers and other
managers of the lottery petitioned for an allowance for expenses and charges before
such money as had come in should be returned to the buyers of tickets.
t This seems the proper interpretation of the date, which is indistinct and at first
glance looks much like 1767 ; but the date on p. 62 is very clearly 1767t and that on
p. 65 is 1768. It was the custom to write first on the right-hand page.

t At first glance this seems to be a contemporaneons record of the death of Mr.
Tacke. It does not, however, resemble the other records of the time in the character
of the writing or in the ink used. It is not the writing of the younger Tucke, if the
entry on p. 73 of the orginal records be in his hand. Nor is it like the writing of Kev.
Jedidiah Morse on later pages. It does resemble the hand of Josiah Stevens, as it ap-
pears on p. 99. It has been pointed out elsewhere (Reoistbb, vol. 66, y. 299) that on
lb Aug. 1773 Mr. Tucke recorded the baptism of twins and that the notice of his death
first appears in the issue of the New Hampshire Gtuette (Portsmouth) of 3 Sept. 1773.
An entr^ in the records of the church at £p8om, N. H., in some measure confirms the
conclusion reached regarding the time of the death of Mr. Tucke. Mr. J. M. Mosee
of Bamstead, N. H., writes that it was the custom of the younger Tucke during his
pastorate at Epsom (1761-1774) to administer the communion tour times a year, the
first Sunday in September being one of those appointed times. In 1773 this service
was held on 3 Oct. instead of 5 Sept., the regiilar time for it. The preparatory lecture
was given on the preceding Friday b^ a neij^hboring minister ana a meeting of the
church followed. A vote passed at this meeting is entered in the records in the hand-
writing of the pastor, and he adds : " N. B. My father's death was the cause of our Sacr^
being delated from the I fi.e., first Sundavl of Sept. till now. Attest J. Tucke Pastor.*'
Had the father died on 12 Aug., it woula probablv have been unnecessary to make
tnch a postponement. The death of Mrs. Tacke» the mother, is noted in the Newt'
Letter of 1() June 1773.

• From the proximitj of the records it seems probable that this is the Sarah Maeh*
more who is noted in the will of John as the sister of the abore-mentioned John,
Richard, and William. If this be true, she married later, 1704, OeoArey Carrier (Bio-
I1TB«, Tol. 66, p. 146).
f Presnmablj the Ambrose who was baptised 11 Apr. 1742.
\ The Mary of this family was baptizea 4 Sept. 1716. As this baptism was at New
Castle, or performed by a minister f^om there (Rboutbk, vol. 66, p. 900), the name
wonld seem to fit this case. The birth of 1713 may be that of the Martha Sanderson
who married John Clarv 4 Oct. 1731. Some of these children do not appear in the
llita of baptisms, probably because of early death.
4 The enurch book records the baptism, 17 Apr. I787i of " Samuel Son of Samuel
Carrier 9t of Abigail his Wife." (BBOxtrsa, vol. 66, -p. 108.) Samuel Currier li^ed
on Hog Island, so that unfavorable weather might have delayed the baptism.

The two couple above mentioned had been published eight or ten years
(but not married) & cohabited together since, & had each a number of
children. Mr. Mace had been formerly married to another woman who
had left him, & cohabited with her uncle, by whom she has a number of
children. No regular Divorce had been obtained. Considering the peculiar
deranged state of the people on these islands, & the ignorance of the parties,
it was thought expedient, in order as far as possible to prevent future sin,
to marry them

ire not real Shoalers), are the only bearers of the name who appear in the records of
e Shoals, as dwelling there, since the so-called discoyery of the islands by Capt. John
difth in 1614.

[From the foregoing data and other records the following pedigree has
been compiled :
1. Thomas Hathorne of Bray, co. Berks, was bom probably about
1490. The first mention found of him is in a subsidy or tax-list of 1528-4,
when he paid 2s. on his goods at Bray. In 1533 he was appointed col-
lector for the lands called Chaunters, held by John Bysshop at a yearly
rental of 208. 9d. In 1535 John Bysshop held four closes at Crychefeld
abutting on Crychefeld land and another field adjoining the land of Thomas
Horthon. (History of the Hundred of Bray.) Crychefeld is in the ex-
treme southern part of the parish of Bray, and adjoins the northern part
of Warfield, at Hawthorn Hill, connected with which there is a legend
about the finding of two pots of gold. In the above-mentioned subsidy for
1523-4, besides Thomas Horthom Robert Horthom is mentioned, who may
have been father or brother of Thomas. In this same subsidy there are
mentioned eight Horthorns in Warfield, and abstracts have been made of
many wills of the Warfield family. Thomas Hathome appears in subsidies
for 1545-6, 1548-50, 1549-51 and 1549-50, and also in one without date,
bat probably about 1530. No mention of Hathomes at Bray has been
found earlier than 1520, when a John Horthom died, leaving a son and
heir Henry, although many documents of an earlier date have been ex-
amined and James Hothome, the testator of 1559 or 1560, states that his
« auncetors " were buried at Bray. " Thomas Hawthorn my father-in-law "
te mentioned in the will of Jone Hawthorne, widow of Thomas Hothome,
Id 1575. The administration on the estate of a Thomas Hathom in 1557
is indexed in the Act Book for the Archdeaconry of Berks, but like most
of the other administrations of that period it is missing. It may refer to
this man.
Children :
8. 1. Thomas, b. probably abt. 1520.
ii. James, the testator of 1569 or 1560, d. 9.p.
ill. Robert, the testator of 1561/2, d. i.p. betw. 24 Jan. 1561/2 and 22
Mar. 1568/4 ; m. Euzabbth , who survived him and proved
his will,
iv. JoNB, m. FmcH, and had four daughters, Jane^ Jone^ Aliee^
and Christian^ all under eighteen in 1559.
V. Alick, m. — — Vanor, and had three children, Joyee^ TTiofiuu, and
Henry^ all under eighteen in 1559.
vi. John, had sons 7Aoma<, b. before 1559, and WUliam^ b. betw. 1559
and 1561/2.
vii. William, living in 1561/2.
viU. Hbnry, living in 1561/2.
ix. Elizabeth, living in 1561/2, probably unm.
•The Manor of Bray included Bast Ocklej or Oakley, Water Ockley, Bray town,
Braywicke, Fifield, Ifaldenbead, Holyport, Touching or Tatohen, Allwood, and Strood.
256 Oenealogical Research in England [July
2. Thomas Hathorne ( Thoma$) of East Ockley or Oakl^ in the pariah
of Bray, on whose estate administration was granted 16 Jan. 1565/6,
was bom probably about 1520. He is found in subsidies for 1548-50,
1549-51, and 1549-50. He married Jone Powket, widow, the
testator of 1575, who had by her iSrst husband a son, Richard Pow-
ney. The parish registers of Bray do not now exist for an earlier
date than 1652, and wills furnish the only information about this
family.
Children, mentioned in the wills of their uncle Robert and their
mother :
8. i. William, b. probably abt. 1545.
11. Christopher, unm. in 1575.
ill. Thomas, unm. hi 1575; probably the testator of 1616.
iv. John, b. betw. 1549 and 1559; unm. in 1575.
Y. Jane, m. before 1575 William Winch.
S. William Hathorne {TJiomcu^ Thomat)^ yeoman, of Bray and Bin-
field, the testator of 1620, was bom probably about 1545 and died
not later than 22 June 1626. He married, probably at Binfield,
25 June 1570, Agnes or Anne Perkins, and in this way he
became connected with Binfield. Though there were Hathomes at
Binfield earlier than this, no William appears there until this mar-
riage is recorded', nor has any connection been established between
the branch with which this pedigree is concerned and the eaiYj
Hathomes of Binfield. Although the first child, Joane, was baptized^
and probably abo bom, in the mother's home, as was customaiy,
the family does not seem to have lived at Binfield until the next
generation. Anne Hathorne, wife of William, and the testatrix
of 1626, survived her husband only a few months, dying not later
than 12 Feb. 1626/7. William Hathorne is found in subsidies for
1585-6, 1592-3, 1596-7, 1600-1, and 1610-11, as well as in an
undated subsidy of the last decade of the reign of Elizabeth, being
also one of the assessors of the three last-mentioned subsidies. In
158G he held property called Wises at East Oakley in Bray and
property called Chambers and Bellows at Water Oakley. This
part of Bray is on the River Thames and b very beautiful.
William Hathorne was a substantial citizen of the best class of the
yeomanry. He was churchwarden in 1 600-2, a trustee of a church
charity, and one of the lessees of Queens Lease in Bray, an estate
of sixty-six acres. His children married into some of the best fam-
ilies in the neighborhood, those of Winch, Bishop, Loggins, and
Lawrence.
Children :
i. JoANE, bapt. at Binfield 5 Jan. 1571/2 ; m. Richard Winch, perhaps
a first cousin, and had before 1620 Bichard^ Joane^ John^ George^
and Judith ; d. probably before 27 Sept. 1652, as her brother Nsr
thaniel mentions In his will ^^ my three own sisters."
4. ii. William, b. probably abt. 1676.
ill. Nathaniel, the testator of 1652, probably m. (1) Anne Looginb,
d. 8. p. before 1623, daughter of Silvester;* m. (2) Martha
(Whistler) MATTiNaLT(?), daughter of John of New Windsor,
*Not daughter of Gilbert, as the History of the Hundred of Bray and Bboutbr, toI.
8S, p. 203, state. See Visitation of Berkshire, 1628 (Harleian Society's Pablicationa»
Tol. 66, pp. 107-8), where she is said to have been married to a Hawthorne. In Na-
thaniel Hmome's will, 1652, her brother Thomas is called brothc^in-law.

[. William Hathorne ( William, ThomaSy Thomas), yeoman, of Bray
and Binfield, the teatator of 1650, was bom probably about 1576
and was buried at Binfield 16 Oct. 1650. He married, probably
about 1605, Sarah , the testator of 1655, whose maiden
name has not been learned. She was buried at Binfield 8 Sept.
1655. William Hathorne probably lived at Bray until about 1608,
when he removed to Binfield, where his father had a house, of
which he doubtless allowed his son the use. This house probably
came in 1626 to William Hathorne as his father's eldest son and heir.

the child my wife now goeth withal, and the other third portion to pay the
following legacies : To my brother John Howes £20, and to each child he

he shall have living at my deatli 50s. apiece, to be paid for their oses to
my said brother Samuell Howse within one year next ensuing my deiUh.
And if any of them die in minority, the legacy of him or her so dying to remaia

Prayse Barban, and to each 508. [Signed] Thomas Howse. Witnesses :
John Brokell and Ra: Hartley. Codicil, 15 October 1644, mentions
daughter Elizabeth, bom since will was made. To son Samuell Howse
my house in Ashford in Kent. William Grainger being dead, I appoint
A&. Samuell Hyland with Praise Barbone to dispose of the £10 to the
poor and to be another overseer, and to him 40s. to buy bim a ring.
Proved 23 December 1644 by Elizabeth Howes, relict of said deceased.
(P. C. C, Rivers, 17.)
[The testator whose will is given above is clearly Thomas Howse, son
of the Bev. John' Howse who was rector of EastweU, co. Kent, and brother
of Samuel Howse of Scituate, Mass. (See Reoister, vol. 66, pp. 356-8,
where it was suggested that Thomas Howes, or House, of Yarmouth,
Mass., might have been brother of Samuel, a conjecture which is now
proved to be erroneous.) This testator is the one referred to in the Aspin-
wall Notarial Records, pp. 10, 224-5, although he is there called '^ Watch-
maker " instead of ^' Brownbaker," as in the will. The '* sister Pininna
Lynnell " was the wife of Robert Linnell of Scituate and Barnstable,
ICass., immigrant ancestor of the Linnells of New England. Rev. John
Lothrop in his Scituate Church Records calls Linnell '^my brother,"
because the latter's wife and Lothrop's first wife were sisters. — E. F.]

a famous armorial famUy of the name in Devon, but the fad that Ui
mother (for there was but one family of the name in Beaminster) and Ui
brother Henry were both parish charges and that the latter was buried at

CAPT. THE HON. CHARLES MORRIS, M.C.
Capt. the Hon. Charles Morris, surveyor-general of Nova Scotia for
over thirty years, a member of the Council and a judge of the Supreme
Court of that province, was born in Boston 8 June 1711 and baptized in
the Brattle Street Church parish 10 June 1711. His father, Charles

888 ITwa 8caUan$ of New JSmglmd BMk [Jdj
IfbrTOi who, according to tnditkmy wii bom At Briitol, KnglMMl, mk
was son of Charles and grandson of Rer. Charles, a Welah deigjaa^
emigrated to Boston, where he became a prosperous sailmakfir aad mv-
ried, 5 Sept. 1700, I(ev. Benjamin Colman of the Bratde Stroei (Anck
oflldatin^;, Esther Rainstorpe or Banstop. Her father, Jamea Bainalwfi^
also a sailmaker and, according to tradition, from London, was an inhahi
tant of Boston as early as 1695, and deposed there 6 Apr. 1689 (B«if
Suffolk Court Files, Brown «. Whitehome).
Between 7 May 1701 and 8 Feb. 1718, according to town and dnidi
records, nine children were bom to Charles and Esther (ffainstwps)
Morris, namely, Sarah, Ann, Esther, Mary, Dorothy, Chariei^ iwim^
John, and Elizabeth. Charles Morris, the fiuher, died 8 Nor. 178C^ it
the fifty-fourth year of his age, and was buried in the Grmnary Boiyi^
Ground. Administration on his estate, both at Boston and at Hopkilos^
Mass., where also he owned Taluable propertT, was granted 7 Dee. 1710
to his widow, Esther Morris. The estate m Boston waa appraised at
£2462. 19s. 5d., among the itenu being three nq^roes, Jack, Tmliiedat £1%
Rose, at £40, and a boy named Boston, at £70. On his farm at Ilo|ik»
ton he had two negroes, Toby (Tobias, as the church records gm lis
name) and Pompey. The widow Esther Morris died 12 SejpL 17m, wgJk
seventy-nine years, and was buried beside her husband. Their di *
Mary had died 24 May 1730, << aged about 24 years," and had been
in the Granary Burying-Ground.
Charles Molris, Jr., son of Charles and Esther, married, probably
alter he became of age, Mary Read, who was bom in Conneeticat,
ably at Redding, 14 Apr. 1716, a daughter of Hon. John and Bath (1M*
cott). John Read, bom at Fairfield, Conn., in 1679/80, a Master of Aiti
of Harvard in 1697, lived first at Bedding, Conn., but after 1722 in B(»
ton. In 1723 he was appointed attorney-general of Massachusetts, in 1735
he was elected a warden of King's Chapel, and in 1742 he was i^pointsd
a member of the Massachusetts Council. He died 7 Feb. 1748/9. Both
Talcott was a half-sister of Gov. Joseph Talcott of Connecticut.
On a farm in llopkinton, Mass., where Charles Morris the ^*imAif
had acquireil property early in his married life (Middlesex Deeds), thi
younger Charles and his wife Mary Read seem to have settled. On 15
Aug. 1746 Charles Morris sold to Rev. Roger Price, rector of Eji^
Chapel, Boston, a large tract of land in Hopkinton, on which was an n-
finished house, which later was leased to and occupied by Sir Charles Heniy
Frankland, Bart. (Annals of King's Chapel, vol. 1, pp. 517, 51d.) (h
2At Oct 1755 Charles and Mary Morris conveyed to their son Charles, lor
£300 sterling, the farm in Hopkinton *' whereon they had formerly livedi"
Other transfers of laud by Charles Morris, after he removed to Hft^*^*,
N. S., are recorded in the Middlesex Registry of Deeds.
In his history of Halifax {Nova 'Scotia Hist. CoiLy vol. 8, p. 229) Dr.
Thomas Beamish A kins says that Charles Morris was captain of a con-
pany at Louisburg in 1745; but while this may be true, no list of the
officers in this expedition as yet compiled mentions his name. In Oct. 1746^
however. Gov. Shirley sent six companies of a hundred men each to Awwpnlk
Royal, N. S., to protect that place against recapture by the French, aal
of one of these companies Morris was captain. In Dec. 1746 the laiger
part of this force was sent to Minas, King's Co., to guard that settlenail
dnrinff the winter, and Morris was captain of the first company to leach
the lOace. On 81 Jan. 1747 a detachment of French troops, under s
1913] Ifova Seotians of New England Birth 389
officer named Jean Baptiste Nicholas Roche de Bamezay,
marched from Beaubassin to Grand Pr^ and surprised the garrison in the
dead of night. In the attack many New England men were killed,
wounded, or taken prisoners, Lient-Col. Arthur Noble from Maine and his
brother Francis, among others, losing their lives. Morris, however, to
whom is attributed much bravery in repelling the attack, escaped, and in
Aug. and Sept. 1747 was in command of his company at Annapolis Royal,
Daniel Dyson and Robert Noble, lieutenants, and David White, ensign,
being his subordinate officers.
Charles Morris had probably been trained as a surveyor, for under
Sbirley's direction in 1745 or 1746 he made a survey of the whole of Nova
Sootia, with a view to British colonization. This survey was sent to the
Lords of Trade in England, accompanied by a concise account of the state
of the province at that time, and a copy of it may still be seen at Halifax.
In 1749 Shirley, writing to the Duke of Bedford concerning Nova Scotia,
refers to the plan and report of Morris, which he forwards. He says that
Morris has distinguished himself by his behaviour at Minas and recom-
mends that he be employed in further surveys in Nova Scotia.
Halifax, N. S., was founded in the summer of 1749 by Col. the Hon.
Edward Comwallis and a company brought out by him from England.
Almost as soon as he arrived, Comwallis employed John Bruce, a military
engineer, and Charles Morris, to plan and lay out the town. With thiB
important service began Morris's career as " chief land surveyor " or, as
later, ** surveyor general of lands " in Nova Scotia. When the province
was opened to British settlers, after the expulsion of the French, he was
occupied in surveying the innumerable grants that were made to the Massa-
ehoaetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island applicants for land, and at that
time, and for many years later, he was perhaps the most important official,
next to the governor, in Nova Scotia. In Apr. 1752 he was appointed a
judge of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas, and 30 Dec. 1 775 he took
the oath as a member of the Council. When the first Nova Scotia assem-
hLy convened, 2 Oct. 1758, he and Benjamin Green, another Massachusetts
man, also a member of the Council, were sent by the Council to administer
Hie oaths to the newly elected members. For several years before his death,
bot from what date we do not now know, he was a judge of the Supreme
Court, and when Chief -Justice Jonathan Belcher died, 29 Mar. 1776, Gov.
ti^gge appointed him to act as chief-justice until a permanent appointment
Doald be made.
In 1752 Morris is mentioned in a list of those who have lived in Halifax
iinoe 1749, his family then consisting of 5 males over 16, 2 females over
I6y and 1 male under 16, in all 8 persons. Besides property in Halifax,
trliere his house stood, perhaps in Sackville Street, he owned a farm at
Windsor, N. S., and at Windsor he died before 17 Nov. 1781, his will
tunring been made at Halifax 10 May 1781 and a codicil having been
fedded at Windsor 11 Oct. 1781. He was buried probably in the Windsor
diiurchyard, but his hatchment, with many others, hangs in St. Paul's
CSiiirch, Halifax. His widow, Mary (Read), died at Halifax 17 Mar.
1782, ^aged 67," and her tombstone may be seen in St. Paul's church-
Ifard there.
Charles and Mary (Read) Morris had, it is said, nine sons and two daugh-
ters, as foUows : Charles, born probably in 1731 or 1732, for whom see
below; John; a son (probably) ; William, bom at Hopkinton, Mass., 19
Feb. 1736/7 ; Hezekiah, bom at Hopkinton 11 Mar. 1738/9 ; Mary, born

27 Mar. 1742 and baptized in King's Chapel 81 Mar. 1742, maniad
Legget (perhaps Thomas), and di^ before her father ; Alexander, bom it
Hopkinton 21 Mar. 1743/4; FranciSy bi^tised at Hopkinton 21 Dbcl
1746; Samuel, baptized at Hopkinton 12 June 1748; James Banitepi
baptized at Hopkinton 20 May 1750 ; Sarah, bom in Boston and baptiaei
in King's Chapel 23 Dec. 1757, married first Dr. Malachj Saltar and is-
condly, 21 Jan. 1788, Alexander Abercrombie Peters, M.D.y of Boston, a
surgeon in the U. S. Army, who died at Wilmington, N. C.
Charles Morris, son of Charles and Mary (Bead), married EluEabelh
, and had Charles, baptized at Hopkinton, Mass., 18 Not. 1751,
William, baptized at Hopkinton 17 Aug. 1760, and between 1768 and 1775
other children whose baptisms are recorded in the registers of St. Paal^
Church, Halifax, N. S. He died 26 Jan. 1802, aged seventy (tombstone).
On 29 Mar. 1774 he had been sworn as a member of the Conncil of Ndn
Scotia, and on 17 Not. 1781 had been appointed by Gov. Hammond tois^
ceed his father as chief land-surveyor. Although not a lawyer, he becsM
an assistant judge of the Supreme Court. On his death in 1802 his sob
Charles was appointed chief land-surveyor, and became a member oi thi
Council on 2 June 1808. This last-mentioned Charles died 17 Dec. 1851,
« aged 72," and was in turn succeeded in the surveyor^neralship bj hii
son John Spry Morris, the office thus remaining in die Morris family lor
four consecutive generations.
The Morris family long kept its high standing at Halifax, and its uas
is perpetuated in the well-known Morris Street, on the south side of whUk,
between Hollis and Water Streets, stood the house of the Charles Monii
who died in 1881. An oil-portrait of a Charles Morris, painted, il if b^
lieved, by Robert Field and probably representing the owner of the home
on Morris Street, is in the Provincial Museum at Halifax.

NOTES
It having come to the attention of this Booiety that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Booiety
in connection with their own enterprises, the Society again d^
sires to state that it has NO genealogical repreaentatlTes in tlifs
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publications other than those that it issuea over its own name
at 8 Ashburton Place, Boston.
The Committee on English Research desires to state, however,
that although the Society has no official representative in Xnglaiia
the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her time as

BUOIBTXUEU
> BoGER Kenton at Block Island.— In his Lancashire Pedigrees, Londoiu
1878, the late Joseph Foster, Esq., in giving an account of the noble ttniUj of
Lord Kenyon of Gredington, states that Roger Kenyon, son of Roger Keqjoa
of Peel, Esq., was educated at Cambridge and died s.p. The elder Roger
Kenyon was governor of the Isle of Man and M. P. for CUtheroe, and his son
Roger was bom, according to Dngdale's Visitation, 29 Feb. 1G59/60. He wai
the eldest son, the ancestor of Lord Kenyon being the fourth son of the Mm
Roger, Thomas, who was bom in 1668. That the younger Roger did not dit
s. p., but married on Block Island and had a son Roger, is conclusively proved
by the Block Island records, together with certain letters in the Kenyon Ifam-
scripts, printed in the Fourteenth Report of the Historical Manuscripts Cos*
mission.
1913]
JSTotes 297
The Block Island records give the marriage, 11 Oct. 1683, of Roger Kenyon
and Mary Ray and the birth of their son Roger, 23 Jan. 1684/5. This Mary
Ray was bom on Block Island 19 May 1667, and was the daughter of the ven-
erable Simon Ray, one of the founders of the Block Island settlement, by his
wife, Mary Thomas of Marshfleld. Their granddaughter Catherine Ray, the wife
of Gov. William Greene of Rhode Island, in writing of her grandfather's family
in a letter dated at Warwick, R. I., 5 Mar. 1793, states that her grandfather's
eldest daughter Mary *•*' married an Englishman, who carried her to England,
and she was the first American lady introduced to the king and kissed his hand."
On 20 Oct. 1707 Sarah Dickens entered upon the Block Ishmd records an oath tliat
at the request of Mr. Roger Kenyon she wished to state that she saw his father,
Roger Kenyon, married to his mother, Mary Ray, and that the said Roger Ken-
yon was the reputed son of Roger Kenyon Esquire of in Lancashire. In
the original record the name of the residence of this Roger Kenyon is almost
illegible, but it appears to be Mareshere or possibly Manchester.
In the Kenyon Manuscripts there is a letter, dated at Liverpool, 19 July 1683,
from Edward Tarlton to Roger Kenyon at Peel, reading: ^'My son Edward,
beinge arrived from Barbados, gives me account that your sonne took occasion
to leave Barbados and is safely arrived at New York, in America, where he
teacheth gentleman's children, and is engaged there to continue for two or three
yeares, by covenant with a gentleman there." Other letters in the collection
show that this son's name was Roger, and that he subsequently returned to
England and became a fellow of Cambridge University. In a letter, dated at
Stockport 5 Apr. 1694 and addressed to his mother, Alice Kenyon, he writes
that owing to his opposition to the then Gk)vemment he had left the University
and was at a farmer's house, learning the art of husbandry. He concludes with
these words : " where I am very well employed in learning the art of husbandry
and courting my landlord's daughter against the days prohibiting matrimony
be over." It is clear, therefore, that at this date Mary (Ray) Kenyon was dead,
and that Roger purposed to marry again. Other letters prove that he had been
sold for some misdemeanor and transported to Barbados, whence he drifted to
New York and thence to Block Island.
It would appear that the son Roger, born in 1684/5, sent to Block Island for
proof of his father's marriage, and this explains the deposition of 20 Oct. 1707.
This son died probably s, p. Shortly after the date of Roger Kenyon's marriage
a John Kenyon was at Westerly, R. I., only a few miles from Block Island, and
was taxed there in 1687, and from this John the numerous Kenyons of that sec-
tion are descended.

Walker-Edwards.— **3<> day, March 15*'» 1725/6. Mrs. Palsgrave Walker,
(whose Maiden name was Edwards) is buried. Bearers, Sewall, Davenport;
I>r. Clark, Col. Fitch; Belcher esqr., Palmer esqr. Was laid in her Husband's
Tomb in the old burying place. Lt Gov there. Ministers, Mr. Colman, Mr.
Cooper; Mr. Myles, Mr. Harris. After the Funeral Mr. Walker told me, their
Marriage Relation had continued 44, years 2 Moneths 8 days." (5 Mass. Hist.
Soc, Coll., vol. 7, pp. 371-2.) This is an extract from Judge Sewall's Diary.
The editors of the diary attempted, but without success, to identify the deceased.
In their note she Is correctly given as the wife of Benjamin Walker, merchant,
of Boston. In 1705/6 Walker and his wife, with Joshua Lamb and wife Susanna,
convey real estate formerly belonging to John Alcock of Roxbury. (Suffolk
Deeds, Lib. 22, fo. 899.) The editors are also confused by the name Palsgrave,
as John Alcock had a son Palgrave, who later had a wife Esther. They suggest
that Sewall may have mistaken Edwards and Edmunds, and that Mrs. Walker
may have been a daughter of Joshua Edmunds of Charlestown, who is said to
have married a daughter of Dr. Richard Palsgrave.
The source of the title of Benjamin Walker to part of the estate of John
Alcock is shown by the will of George Alcock, son of John, of the parish of
St. Katherlne Cree Church, London, dated 27 Feb. 1676/7 and proved 9 Mar.
following. (Register, vol. 50, p. 119.) Of his lands situate in New England
he gives one half part *^ to my cousin Benjamin Walker, citizen and pewterer
of London," and one eighth part ^^ to my kinsman Joshua Lamb." He also gives
ten pounds **to my uncle John Edwards the elder." He makes Benjamin
Walker, Zachariah Whitman, and Peter Thacher executors. A sketch of George

who is mentioned in the will.
In the parish re^sttrrs of Stepner, co. Middlesex, England, Is recorded the
roarriat^e, 8 Jan. l<>71/2. of Benjamin Walker of 8t. Botolph. Aldjeate. pewterer,
and Fals^rrave EdwanL* of Green Banck, maid. Thus Sewall's sUtement of the
maiden name of Mrs. Palsgrave Walker is prored to be correct, thoagh he mis-
states by ten years the length of their married life.
In 1676 there was in Charlestown a chirurgeon from Lymehonse, Stepney, by
name John Edwards, whose death is noted as follows in a narrative of Sir
William Pfaips's expedition to Canada in 1690 : Oct. 4, "* this morning dyed Dr
EdwVls on board ye Hospital.** He married, according to Wyman (Genealogies
and E^UteM of Cfiarlestown. p. 330), Elizabeth Walker, who died a widow 25
July 1694, administration on the estate being granted to brother Benjamii
Walker of Boston. We believe that Wyman is wrong in his statement thtt
John Edwards married Elizabeth Walker. It would seem, on the other band,
from the facts presented, that John Edwards was brother of Palsgrave (Ed-
ward.**) Walker, and that Benjamin Walker was the brother of Elizabeth Edwardi
only by marriage.
It is probable that '' John Edwards the elder,** who is mentioned in the wQl
of George Alcock as his uncle, was the father of John Edwards of Charlestown
and of his sister Palsgrave (Edwards) Walker, and that their mother wast
Palsgrave ; but the exact relationship of the mother to Dr. Richard Palsgrave
remains as yet unknown.
John Edwards, a son of John and Elizabeth, was baptized 13 Mar. 1686/7. and
marrlHl, 29 Oct. 1694, Syl>el Newman, daughter of Bev. Antipas Newman and
his wife Elizabeth, who was a daughter of Gov. John Winthrop of Connecticut
Elizabeth (Winthrop) Newman married .2) Zerubbabel Endicott, son of Gov.
John Endicott. Scwall writes in his Diary, 7 Dec. 1716: ''Friday, Madam
Elizabeth Endicott alias Winthrop, burled from her son Edwards* : pot hito
Gk)v. Wlnthrop's Tomb.**
It was probably on this marriage that the following claim was based : ^' Upon
a petition of M' John Edwards of Boston Sheweth^That whereas there is a
Tornb In the South Burying place belonging to the Late Govemour Endicot, which
has been unimproved for many years, and there being no family in Said Town
nearer Kelattnl to the Said Govemour Endicot faiiiely then his. Desires he may
havt; Lil)crty granted him to make use of it for his family. Granted that the Said
Jolm Edwards has Liberty to Iinproue the Said Tomb until a person of Better
Hlirlit to it appears to Claim It.'* (Boston Records.) The Edwards tomb is on
the north side of the Granary Burying-Ground, nearly opposite Tremont Place.
This was not the only connection of the Edwards with the Endicott family;
for John Endicott, son of Zerubbabel, who was a physician like his father and
grandfather, Gov. John Endicott, resided for some time in London, where he
nmrric'd Anna, said U) have been a daughter of Robert Edwards. HLs oldest
son, Hobert tklwards Endicott, was born in London.
John Edwards of Boston, goldsmith, who married Sybel Newman, was an
nndertenant of Madam Bridget Usher, previous to 1700, in her house on the
north side of the town house, in what is now State Street. He was the father
of John Edwards, the bookseller, w^hose shop In 1718 was next door to the
LIglit Horse Tavern, on the south side of the town house, in King Street. The
younger man died 7 May 1725 ; but the father survived him and lived until 1746.
John, the gold.smith, was a member of the Artillery Company in 1699, and, ac-
cording to the published history of the Company, joined it when he was about
twelve years old. This history states that he was bom in 1687 and was the
son of the chirurgeon of Charlestown, Dr. John Edwards from Stepney, and
also that he was a tlthingman in 1701. at the age of fourteen. Of coarse this Is
incorrect, as the goldsmith married in 1694 and had, S Jan. 1695/6, John the book-
seller, and later Thomas, Samuel, Joseph, who survived their father, Antipas
and Richard, who died yonng, and three daughters, Ann, Elizabeth, who married
Bartholomew Cheever, and Mary, who married Ebenezer Storer. At his death
his honse and shop were on Comhill. A few years before hU death he married.

Bev. William Smith of Weymouth. Her daughter Sarah had married in 17S8
Samnel, son of the goldsmith. Abigail, daughter of Rev. William Smith, mar-
ried President John Adams. Wyman makes no mention of the marriage of the
widow Smith to John Edwards. She survived him and died in 1760, her daugh-
ter Sarah, wife of Samuel Edwards, being one of the residuary legatees.
Elizabeth, a sister of John Edwards, the goldsmith, married in 1697 John
Allen, goldsmith, son of Rev. James Allen by his second wife, the widow Eliza-

OCTOBER, 1913
AARON SARGENT
By Frank Mobtimbr Hawbs, A.M., of Somerville, Mass.
As the result of a fall, which he sustained on 21 February 1913,
Aaron Sargent, Somerville's first city treasurer and one of her fore-
most citizens, passed away at his home, 290 Broadway, 23 March
(Easter Sunday) 1913, at the age of ninety years and almost five
months. In spite of his advanced years Mr. Sargent had been
vigorous and active, and he was accustomed to make his way about
town and even into the Genealogical Eooms on Somerset Street,
Boston, unaccompanied. He even paid one visit to the new home
of the New England Historic Genealogical Society at 9 Ashburton
Place. For some days after the accident he seemed to improve,
but the shock to his system proved too great. He sank into un-
consciousness towards the last, and gently and peacefully fell asleep.
The funeral was held firom his home the Wednesday following.
Rev. William H. Pierson, D.D., formerly pastor of the First Con-
gregational (Unitarian) Church, conducted the services, and many
people prominent in public and private life were present. Dr.
Pierson read from the Scriptures passages marked by Mr. Sargent
for this occasion, and referred to his great service to his town and
cTty, in his public and private capacity, and to his strong religious
convictions. Mr. Sargent was an ardent admirer of Theodore
Parker and his teachings, and to this fact the speaker made fitting
allusion.
Aaron' Sargent, son of Aaron' and Sarah (Nichols) Sargent,
was bom at Charlestown, Mass., 29 October 1822. He was de-
scended from William* and Sarah Sargent, who settled at Maiden
in 1638 ; later they were of Barnstable, where both died. The
history of this branch of the Sargents was compiled by the subject
of this memoir, the last edition appearing in 1895. Mr. Sargent's
ancestral line was as follows: William,* John,* Joseph,' Jabez,*
Silas,* Amos,' Aaron' (his father). Mr. Sargent was particularly
proud of his mother's family, and in our last interview spoke, in his
emphatic way, of his mother's energy and strength of character.
At the same time, also, he paid tribute to the memory of his maternal
VOL. LXVII. 20
808 Aaron SargmU [OoL
grandmother, Dorcas, of the line of Balph Smith. Other hereditHj
Snes were those of Bncknami Winsloir, Ljude, Greeot and Hillisr.
Mr. Sargent attended the Bunker Etill School and was a pi^
of Master Swan, a fiimous schoolmaster of that day. He was lio»-
orarj yice-president of the Bunker Hill School Association, and at
the first reunion delivered an historical address which iqppeaied in
the columns of the local papers. He enliyened the occasion, as wn
his wont, with a fund of anecdotes. **It was this loyalty to old
firiends and old days," as some one has said, ** combined wilh a
warm personal interest in every-day events, which endeared him
alike to old and young. Among the lessons to be learned firom Ui
long and useful life is that of cheerfulness.*
From 1838 to 1854 Mr. Sargent was employed in the connting-
room of Nathaniel Winsor, and in the latter year became a member
of the firm of Nathaniel Winsor & Ck). (oaigent Genealogy, p.
91.) He came to East Somerville in 1846 and resided there mtil
1869, when he removed to his late residence at Winter Hill. He
served on the School Committee of the town finmi 1858 to 1862,
on the Auditmg Committee firom 1860 to 1862, and firom 1868 to
1871 on the Fmance Committee ; during these same years he wae
a member of the Water Board.
Mr. Sargent was active in mocuring the incorporation act, maldiig
Somerville a dly in 1872. When the charter of the new dty wae
signed by Governor Claflin, the pen of signature was sent to Hr.
Sargent as a complimentaiy token of his service.
Upon the inauguration of the first city government Aaron Sar-
gent was chosen city treasurer, and held this office until his reeig-
nation in 1881. ''His office became a model in matters of business
and he established a system of book-keeping there which has been
adopted in whole or in part in several cities of the Commonwealth,
and is still in use."
In 1883 Mr. Sargent became a director of the Bay State Brick
Co., and served for a time as its secretary and treasurer. In 1889
he was elected treasurer of Woodlawn Cemetery, holding the office
for seven years.
Mr. Sargent was especially conversant in matters relating to
genealogy and local history, and compiled the Rymes, Barnard, and
Sargent genealogies. He was a member of the Somerville Historical
Society, and for many years of the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society ; at the time of his death he was its oldest member,
having joined the Society in September 1855. As a prominent
Mason he was a member of Soley Lodge, A.F. & A.M. ; Somer-
ville Royal Arch Chapter, Orient Council; and Cceur de Ldon
Commandeiy, Knights Templars. He had seized as recording
officer of every Masonic order of his city, and also of the Com-
mandery.
In 1846 Mr. Sargent married Miss S. Maria Adams, daoghler
1913] The Savage Family 309
of Joseph and Phebe P. (Moore) AdAms, old residenta of the town.
(See Wyman's Genealogies and Estates of Charlestown for her an-
cestral Ime.) Mrs. Sargent died in ISBS, in the house where she
was bom and married. It was here that Mr. Sargent and his family
resided after 1869, and a street which was laid out through the old
Adams estate is known as Sargent Avenue. Lucy Homer Sargent
(Mrs. Otto H. Bichter) and Aaron Eugene Sargent are the sur-
viving children of a family of five. These, with three grandchildren^
comprise the descendants of this couple.
In preparing this memoir the writer has drawn liberally from the obitu-
ary notice of Mr. Sargent which appeared in the SamerviQe Journal of 28
March 1913.

THE SAVAGE FAMILY
By Lawbutos Park, Esq., of Groton, Mast.
[Continaed from page 216]
9. Thomas^ Savage (Thomas^* Hahijah^* Thamoi^) was bom in Boston
20 Jan. 1692/8. Nothing definite concerning his early life appears,
but it is probable that he accompanied his parents to Bermuda in
1705 or 1706 and that he remained there the rest of his life. He
was called of Bermuda in Mar. 1717 and also in his brother Benja-
min's will of Apr. 1750. He learned the goldsmith's trade proba-
bly from his father, but later in life became also a merchant in
Bermuda.
He married in Bermuda, probably about 1714, Elizabeth
FowLE, bom and died probably in Bermuda, daughter of Rev.
John and Love (Gibbons) (Front) of Bermuda. Mrs. Love Fowle
was the only child of Jotham Gibbons of Boston, who removed
to Bepnuda before 1656 and died there, and from faim Mrs. Fowle
inherited Squasachem Farm in Charlestown, Mass., a tract of land
containing 480 acres, lying on the west shore of Mystic Pond,
within the present limits of the towns of Winchester and Arling-
ton.* Of this farm, also known as Scarlet's Farm, Mrs. Savage
received, as her share of her mother's property, 53 acres, which
she and her husband sold in 1717.
No record of the death of Thomas Savage has been found.
Family tradition credits him with being the father of nineteen chil-
dren, but thus far the existence of no more than eight of these has
been proved, with a probability of Richard making nine.
• In 1S56 Jotham Gibbons *< of Bermuda " was in Boston and signed a power of at-
torney constituting Thomas Lake and Joshna Scottow his agents to look after his land
called *' Soaasachem hill.*' This land, also known as ** Squasarknis Farm/* had been
giran to hun, 13 of 11 mo. 1639/40, bjr the Indian Sachem or Soaasachem Webicowits
or Wee-Web-Cowet, in gratitude for the many kindnesses which the Indians had re-
eehred from Gibbons's father, Bdward.

removed to Charleston, S. C, and in the latter year bought a pew
in the Independent Church in that town. He was appointed s

14. Samuel Phillips* Savage (Arthur* Thomas^* 77iomas^)j bom in
Boston 27 Apr. 1718, entered, early in life, the employ of Joshua
Winslow, a prominent merchant of Boston, and in 1741 formed a
partnership with David Jeffries of Boston. This partnership was
soon dissolved, and he then became a merchant, with a shop near
the Swing Bridge at the Town Dock. In the same year he was
admitted to the Brattle Square Church, and in Mar. 1742 was
chosen constable of Boston for the ensuing year. About 1740 he
became much influenced by the preaching of Rev. George White-
field and by the so-called '* Great Awakening," and throughout his
life was of a deeply religious nature. In Mar. 1749 and again in
1750 he was chosen a clerk of the market. In 1751 and 1752 he
was a merchant, with a shop on the Town Dock, '' next M' William
Tyler's," his father-in-law. In the Boston GazeUe of 20 Sept. 1756
Savage advertises that he has opened an insurance office *' in Ann
St. near the Town Dock," where " Policies will be underwrote by
Gentlemen of undoubted Credit, and upon reasonable Terms."
About 1760 the office was removed* to King (now State) Street.
In 1760 and 1761 he was a selectman of Boston. About 1753
he became a partner with his brother in the firm of Arthur Savage
Sd Co., for the sale of general merchandise at 11 Long Whanf.
They also opened a shop in the West Parish of Cambridge (now
Arlington), ''near the Meeting House," where in Sept. 1763
and in Feb. 1 764 they advertise to sell, ** at the lowest Cash Price in
Boston," Bohea tea, sugar, powder, molasses, salt-fish, fiour, raisins,
etc. This firm was dissolved in the fall of 1764. Savage removed
from Boston^ Weston in Sept. 1765, and purchased near the Lin-
coln town line a farm, which was his home for the remainder of
his Ufe, although much of his time was passed in frequent visits to
Boston. His house at Weston, considerably altered, is still used ai
a dwelling, and the tradition exists of his having kept slaves and of
his having attempted the cultivation of the tea-plant. On 15 Dec
1773 he was chosen moderator of the meeting held in the Old South
Church in Boston to take action in regard to the tea-ships lying
at Grifl^'s Wharf. On 2 Nov. 1775 he was appointed a judge m.
the Inferior Court for Middlesex County, being recommissioned 27
Nov. 1780. On 3 July 1782 he was appointed a judge of the Court
314 Old Boston Families [Oct.
of Common Pleas for Middlesex County and held this office oDtil
his death. He was one of the representatives from the town of
Weston in the Provincial Congress of deputies which met at Concord
2 Oct. 1774 and in that which met at Salem five days later. On
30 Oct. 1776 he, with eight others, was appointed a member of the
Board of War* of Massachusetts and was reappointed 7 July 1777.
Soon after his appointment on this board Savage was chosen iu
president or chairman, a position which he held until the commission
was dissolved at the close of the war. Throughout the Revolution
he gave liberally to the Patriot cause of both his time and money,
more than half of his property being lost during the war. His
later years were embittered by this loss of property, by the death
of a promising son, and by the long and distressing illness of \m
second wife, who, several years before her death, lost her reason
and required constant care.
He married first, in Boston, 11 Nov. 1742, Rev. Benjamin Col-
man officiating, Sarah Tyler, bom in Boston 21 liar. 1717/18,
died in Boston 12 Feb. 1764, daughter of Williamf and Sarah (Boj-

(Thwino) Johnston, bom in Boston 19 Jan. 1725, died at Wet-
ton, Mass., June 1792, daughter of Benjamin and Bathaheba (Pason)
and widow, with several children, of Thomas} of Boston ; and thirdly,
at Weston, 21 Jan. 1794, Mart Meserve or Meseeyie, a natife
of the Island of Guernsey, who had been for over twenty yean a
member of his family as housekeeper and nurse for his second wife.
She survived him, d3dng at Weston in 1810 at an advanced age.
He died at Weston, intestate, 9 Dec. 1797, and is buried in the
Old Burying-Ground on Central Avenue in that town. Hb portrait
and that of his first wife, both painted by Copley in 1763, are in
the possession of descendants, the portrait of Mr. Savage being
owned by John Richard Savage, Esq., of Garden City, Long Island,
N. Y., and that of Mrs. Savage by a great-grandson, Samuel Savage
Shaw, Esq., of Boston. Copies of these portraits are in the posses-

age, painted later in life, is owned by his great-great-granddaughter,
Mrs. Wallace Fairbank, 23 Washington Square, North, New York
City. The name of the painter of the later portrait is not known.
*The Board of War was established by a resolve of the House of Representatirei,
29 Oct. 1776, " to order and direct the operations of the Forces in the Pftj of this Stat«,
both by Sea & Land, by giving the Commanders of the Troops, Garrisons & Ves-

9 Oct. 1731, lived with his mother, after her seoond marriage in
1736, and his stepfather at Charlestown, Mass., until he came of
age. He attended school, however, in Boston, for in 1741-2 he
received instruction from John Proctor at the North Writing
School, and in 1745 he was a pupil of Zachariah Hicks, Proctor*!
assistant. About 1753 he, with his brother, established the firm
of Arthur Savage & Co., on Ann Street, near the Swing Bridge,
afterwards moving to 1 1 Long Wharf, the partnership continuing
until 1764, with another shop in 1763 in the West Parish of Cam-
bridge. In the early fall of 1755 he left Boston for Chestertown,
Md., where he remained for three years, buying grain which he
sent to his brother in Boston to sell. From Maryland he went to
St Kitts and other West India islands, and returned to Boston in
1760. In 1762 he was a pew-holder in King's Chapel. In Nov.
1764 he sailed for London, where he arrived in Jan. 1765.* He
returned to Boston in June following, having been appointed
comptroller of customs at Falmouth (now Portland), Me., whither
he removed in July, his family following him there in November.
Savage's house in Falmouth stood on Middle Street, nearly oppo-
site Plum Street, and was destroyed by fire in 1856. His sympa-
thies were strongly British from the beginning of the troubles
* John Hancock, writine under date of 17 Nov. 1764 to a merchant in London, says
in hit letter-book : ** M' Aurthur Savage is Passenger in Marshall, his business home
is to obtain a credit for goods, he is recommended to me as an honest, indastriooa
man, bat no great Capital." And again under the same date, in a letter to Bamardf
ft Harrison, merchants in London, Hancock writes : '* The bearer of this is IP
Arthur Savage who has for some time carried on Business in the West India way ia
this place, but from the General decline of trade, and that in particular, he has qoitted

which led to the Bevolution, and during the absence in England of
the collector of the port of Falmouth Savage ordered the revenue
cutter of the Crown to seize a vessel for violation of the revenue
laws, an act which so enraged the local Patriot party that he was
mobbed and roughly handl^ 12 Nov. 1771, and left for Boston
immediately. {Maine IRtL Soe, Ooll.f Documentary History,
vol. 14, pp. 148-7, Baxter MSS.) He remained in Bostcm in the
employ of the customs there, living on Auchmuty's Lane, until
the evacuation of the town by the British in Mar. 1776, when
he with his family went with the army to Halifax. In the list of
those inhabitants who left Boston at this time he is called " sur-
veyor dbc,** and the number of his family is given as six. By the
act of 1778 he was among those proscribed and banished for loyalty
to the King, but he had already sailed in July 1776 in the ship
Attan Hall from Halifax for London. He lived in Brompton Bow,
London, until about 1790, when he moved to Great Quebec Street,
Portman Square, where he remained until July 1791, moving then
to 9 Nottingham Street, Marylebone, and, a few months later, to
12 Charlotte Street, Portland Place. Here he lived until the
summer of 1795, when he moved to 4 Salisbury Place, New Boad.
In the fall of 1798 he had a severe stroke of paralysis, from which
he partially recovered^ and early in 1799 he removed to Homer
Bow, New Boad, where he died of paralysis 21 Mar. 1801. In
the Gentleman' $ Magazine is recorded the death of '' Arthur Savage,
esq. formerly of Boston New England." *
Savage was a man of antiquarian tastes and interested in seeing
and in collecting curios, and he is mentioned several times in
his Journal by Curwen, with whom he was on intimate terms in
London, and with whom he several times made expeditions to view
ruins or places of historic interestf
Savage's financial situation after leaving America was much em«
barrass^. His furniture and plate lost at Falmouth and Boston
he estimated as worth £200. His salary and perquisites as comp-
troller of the customs at Falmouth continued, however, until 1775,
and from that date until 1782 he received a salary of £50 per an-
num. Writing to his brother under date <^ 25 Feb. 1778, he says :
** Notwithstanding my sufferings in America, I am left here by the
Ministry at Eighty Pounds Annual allowance [this was reduced in
1782 to £60] which will not above one third Support my family,
while many from America, and who are Single Persons, have £200
Sterling Yearly allowed them," upon which his brother, on the
margin of this letter, comments as follows : ** If they [the British
Grovemment] treat their Friends thus, what must those expect
whom they view as Enemies Ss Rebels?" Savage's income in

London was largely increased by the generosity of his kinsman,
John Savage (16) of Charleston, S. C, then a fellow-exile in Lon-

debts. Mr. Savage spent the winters and springs during the r^

Tenn., where he writes of meeting Andrew Jackson. In Jane
1817 he formed a partnership at Lexington with Henry Prentiss

when he and his wife went to Barnstable, where Mrs. Savage
remained until her death. In Dec. 1828 Savage was in St. Louii

news of his wife's death reached him. He Immediately returned
to Barnstable, where In broken health he remained until Dec. 182S.
From this time on he seldom visited Barnstable, but spent the re-
maining years of his Ufe chiefly In Cuba and In Central America,
or In extended business trips In the vast region west of the Missis-
sippi. From 1828 he was for a while U. S. consul at Guatemala,
and in 1830 he was for a brief time in the conmiisslon business it

22. William* Savage {Samuel Phillips,^ Arthur * Thomas,^ Thomas^),
bom in Boston 14 June 1750, was a pupil at the Boston Latin
School from 1757 to 1764. In the latter year he went to New-
buryport and entered the employ of his father's friend, Nathaniel
Carter, a rich merchant of that town. In the spring of 1775, with
letters of introduction from his employer to John Savage (16) of
Charleston, S. C, he left Newburyport, with the intention of settling
in business at Charleston. A serious illness in the summer of 1775
resulted in his removal to Bermuda to recuperate. John Savage
had, in the meantime, gone to London, and thither in July 1777
William Savage went, evidently with the intention of increasing
his business acquaintance, but still apparently with the expectation
of returning later to Charleston. The unsettled conditions in
South Carolina, however, caused him to change his plans, and after
a residence in England of a year, he left in Sept. 1778 for Kingston,
Jamaica, and in this place and in its vicinity he made his home for
the remainder of his life. Here he became a prominent citizen and
merchant, and a member of the firm of Duncomb, Savage & Co.
In the summer of 1784 he made a visit to his native town, returning
to Jamaica at the end of the year. About 1798 Savage with his
two sons went to England, where he left them with relatives of
their mother and returned soon to Jamaica. In 1799 he was ap-
pointed by President John Adams United States agent for the
relief and protection of American seamen frequenting Jamaican
waters. In Jan. 1800 he retired from the firm of Duncomb, Savage
& Co., and purchased from the estate of his late wife a large coffee
plantation, called Epping Farm, in the Blue Mountains, in the
parish of St. David, where for several years much of his time was
passed. For many years Mr. Savage represented most of the
United States insurance companies in Jamaica. For nearly twenty
years before his death he was senior magistrate of Kingston, one
of the masters of the Jamaican High Court of Chancery, and presi-
dent of the Hospital and Workhouse. Through the failure of a
business associate he lost most of his property near the close of his
life, and hb later years were burdened by severe attacks of eout.
He was a man of unblemished character and generous disposition,
and was much respected in Jamaica.
He died at Kingston 28 Oct 1827, and is buried in the parish
churchyard there. His portrait, painted in middle life, is in the
328 Old Boston Families [Oet
possession of his great-grandsoiiy John Richard Savage, Ksq., of
Garden City, Long Island, N. Y., and a miniature, painted in 1778,
is owned by a great-grandniece.

Cooper Demetriss,* baptized in the parish of Clarendon 27 Mar.

mother's sister from about 1798 to 1800, when they retomed lo
Jamaica. Early in 1802 he was sent to New England to the care
of his uncle, Dr. Samuel Savage (21), at Barnstable and of Hon.
Dudley Atkins Tyng at Newburyport and its Ticinity. He entered
Harvard College in 1808 and was graduated in 1812. He then
studied law with his uncle, Hon. George Thacher, in Biddeford,
Me., but soon returned to Jamaica, where in Oct. 1818 he became
a bookkeeper on a large plantation thirty miles from Kingston.
Later he was placed in charge of two plantations near Spanish
Town. He never married.

years in Boston, and in 1765 removed with his father to Weston,
Mass., where he lived until he entered the service of the Continental
Army in Apr. 1775. He was commissioned second lieutenant in
Furnival's company of Knox's artillery regiment, 26 ^lar. 1776,
and was taken prisoner by the British after the Battle of Long
Island, 27 Aug. 1776. He became first lieutenant in Crane's regi-
ment, Second Continental Artillery, 1 Jan. 1777 ; was commissioned
captain 20 Sept. 1779, and served to 17 June 1783 ; was appointed
commanding captain, Fourth Company, U. S. Artillery Battalion,
20 Oct. 1786, and captain of Artillery Battalion, U. S. Army, 29
Sept. 1789. He resigned 15 Oct. 1791, after a service of sixteen
and one-half years, and returned to Weston, where he lived until
his marriage to Miss Hubbard, when he removed to Berwick, Me.
From 1 Oct. 1796 to 1 Jan. 1808 he was postmaster at Doughty *s
Falls, Me., this post-office after 1 Jan. 1818 being called Berwick.
He died suddenly, intestate, at Berwick 20 Jan. ISli.f He wis
apparently married before he left the army, for he had a son who
was born in 1789, but the name of the child's mother and the date
of the marriage have not been found. He married at Berwick, Me.,

Sarah (Savage) of Biddeford. A severe attack of typhus fever
rendered Mr. Thacher tfn invalid from his fifteenth year until 1817.
During this time he devoted himself, principally for amusement,
to the study of the law, and in 1817 removed to Buxton, Me., and
opened a law office. Owing to his inability to plead his client's
cases, his income from his law practice was found insufficient for
the needs of his family, and in 1882 he removed to Saco, Me.,
where his mother was living, and became a commission merchant.
In 1840 failing health obliged him to seek a warmer climate, and
in Oct. of tliat year he removed with his family to Mobile, Ala.,

he went to sea and when very young became master of a vessel.
On the return voyage from Havana to Boston as master of the brig
Elizabeth and Ann^ the vessel ran aground in approaching Boston
Harbor during a violent storm on the night of 5 Mar. 1829, and
Savage and his entire crew were lost. The vessel apparently struck
on Winthrop's Bar, went to pieces off Great Egg Rock near Nahant,
and at 8 a.m. on the following day had entirely disappeared. None
of the bodies of the unfortunate persons was ever found. Savage's
watch, attached to a piece of the cabin, his desk, and the log-book
were washed ashore on Deer Island on the morning of 6 Mar.f A
* John Hubbard was a f^randson of Richard Hubbard, H. C. 1653, who married Sarah
Brmdstreet, daughter of Simon and Anne (Dudlev), and was a grandnephew of William
Habbard, H. C. 1642, the minister of Ipswich ana author of the ** Narrative of the In-
dlATi Wars in New-Enf(Iand." Upon Xjafayette*s visit to Saco in 1825 Joseph Savage's
widow was introduced to Lafayette, who had, many years before, personally rewarded
her hnsband for his braverv during the Revolution.
t **Brig Elizabeth and Ann, Capt. Savage. The recent loss of this brig in Boston
barbonr was attended by circumstances peculiarly afflicting. She was owned by Jones
Shaw Esq. of Northport, [Me.] was one of the best built and most elegant vessels ever
laonched on the Penobscot, and nearly new. On her return from the Havana with a
rich cargo, having outrode two of the most violent storms ever experienced on our
eoaat, she had actually arrived within the limits of the harbour when she was over-
taken by a third, driven upon the rocks, entirely separated, her cargo totally lost, every
aonl on board perished, and not even the bodies have been found. ..... The master
of the Elizabeth and Ann, was W» H. Savage of Salem; and it would be unjust both
to the living and the dead not to pay a passing tribute to his memory Savage
was by no means an ordinary man, though onlv twenty six [tie] years of age, he had
aeoaired information which few in his walk or life ever acquire. In addition to the
•kul of the navigator, the generous bearing and warm elevation of the sailor, he pos-
sessed the intelligence of the merchant, the feelings of the gentleman, and the accom*
pUshments of the scholar. There is probabl? no individual of Savage's age and pur-
soita in this section of the country, wno would have ranked before him. . . ." (Beuaat,

From the Records of the Court of Requests
Ilomplaint made by [mtUilcUed] Ivert of Hexton in co. Hert-
i, husbandman, that his father Robert Ivery made his will 30 August
{5, making his brother John Ivery and his eldest son Robert Ivery ex-
itors, and leaving to his son, this complainant, then twelve years of age
ander, for his preferment and toward his living, two hundred sheep and
;nty quarters of barley, valued at £30. After the death of the com-
inant's said father the executors proved the will and administered the
ite. Complainant was under the rule and governance of one William
ilche of Luton, co. Bedford, his godfather, at whose request the execu*
3 paid over to him the said sheep and barley, to the intent that he should
ploy the same to the most profit of the complainant, he agreeing to
der the said sheep and barley, with the increase thereof, on demand,
out two years since the complainant demanded of the said Welch said
ep and barley with the increase thereof, but he not only refused to sur-
der the same but sold them and retained the money. At St. John's
' last past the said Welche made his will, appointing his wife Isabell and
>ma8 Steven of Luton his executors, and died leaving a good estate,
nplainant has demanded his sheep and barley pf these executors, but
Y refuse to satisfy his claim. Complainant is a poor man, and has no
ress at the common law. He asks for letters of privy seal to be directed
he said executors, commanding them under penalty to appear and an-
T his complaint. [Undated, but probably about 1536.] (Public Record
ce, Court of Requests, Bundle 11, No. 180.)
lOBERT Ivert of Offley, co. Herts, husbandman, sued Gregory Warren

tt to her son alid heir by a former marriage, Thomas Skypes. The
[ Gregory agreed to cause the said Thomas to confirm said lease if the
\ Robert Ivery would pay him 10 marks, which he did. The said

the 10 marks paid. [Undated, but after the feast of PentecoBt, 28 Henrj

From Chancery Procbbdings
Edmond Ivorkt of Offley, co. Hertford, yeoman, son and heir of
William Ivory late of Offley, deceased, complains in the Court of Chan-
cery, 9 November 1624, that certain of his tenants refuse to pay him and
claim that their lands are held not of the Manor of Westbury but of the
Manor of Hitchin, the property of Prince Charles [afterwards Einf
Charles I]. Complainant relates that for forty years before his death Uie
said William was rightfully seized in his demesne as of fee, in the Maaor
of Westbury in Offley, and in other lands and tenements in Offley and
Eimpton, the tenants of the said manor holding freehold and copyhold.
Among other tenants Sir Edward Benstead, Knight, held about eighty
years ago a freehold messuage called The Ley and a carucate of land in
Kimpton containing 140 acres, a greater part held of the then lord of
the manor at 1 5s. rent, and 4d. and four capons fealty and suit of court
About fifty years ago said messuage and land was conveyed to Sir John
Brockett, who sold Ley and its grounds, and the purchasers came into conii
before the said William Ivory and his steward 15 January 31 Elizabeth
[1588/9] to find out what part of said land belonged to the Manor of West-
bury and what part to the Manor of Hitchin. The matter was settled, and
the purchasers paid their rental for such part of the land as they held of
the Manor of Westbury. The defendants reply, denying any knowledge
of any such settlement, and claim that they hold and always have held
their land of the Manor of Hitchin. (Chancery Proceedings, Charles I,
Bills and Answers, I and J, Bundle 13, No. 29.)
Elizabeth Ivery, widow of Edmond Ivery late of Hendlowe, co.
Bedford, yeoman, deceased, son and heir of [William] Ivery,
brought suit, June 1631, against William Helder alias Spicer, Susan his
wife, and Luke Ivery, Joseph Ivery, and Susan Ivery, sons-in-law and
daughter-in-law [stepsons and stepdaughter] of the said William Helder
alias Spicer. The said Elizabeth complains that her father John Woodley
deceased gave her said husband P^dmond Ivery as a marriage portion £500,
and the said Edmond made a deed giving the manor of [Westbury]
in Offley and other lands in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire to the said
Elizabeth for life, with reversion at her death to her eldest son, making
proper provision for the portions of the other children. When the said
I^Mmond was extremely ill, with the illness whereof he died, said com-
plainant being also so ill that she was like to die, the said William Helder
alias Spicer, Susan his wife, formerly wife to the said Edmond*s father and
mother-in-law [stepmother] to the said Edmond, and Luke Ivery, Joseph
Ivery, and Susan Ivery, his brothers-in-law and sister-in-law [half-
brothers and half-sister] came to Hendlowe on pretense of visiting and
comforting the said Edmond and this complainant in their illness, and the
said Edmond, having no one else so near of kin to trust, gave them the
keys of the boxes and rooms where his writings lay, that they might view
the same and advise him regarding the settlement of his property. Com-
plainant claims that the said defendants stole said deeds and also some
bonds which they had delivered to him when he had paid money due them
by the will of the father of the said Edmond, Luke, Josej^i and SuBan
1913] Genealogical Research in England 339
Ivery, late husband of the said Susan Helder alias Spicer, and they now
threaten to sue the estate of the said Edmond for legacies which they claim
have not been paid.
Answer of William Helder alias Spicer, Susan his wife, and Susan Ivery,
defendants to the complaint of Elizabeth Ivery, widow. The said Susan
Helder alias Spicer acknowledges it to be true that she visited her stepson
and his wife when they lay ill, but denies that he gave her any keys. He
did, however, show to her a deed, which was unsealed, demising his lands
for £500 to John Woodley with certain trusts for the benefit of his wife
and children, which he asked her to keep. Coming again to visit him a
second time, he asked to see the deed, which she showed him. After-
ward, he having somewhat recovered from his illness, she gave him back
the deed, which she supposes he destroyed, he having disposed of his estate
for the benefit of his wife and children in another manner. She denies
that she has or ever has had any bonds belonging to the said Edmond. The
said Susan Ivery states that her father left her by will £100, to be paid her
at the age of eighteen years. Her brother Edmond, as executor of her
father's will, had paid her £40 and given bonds for the other £60, which is
as yet unpaid. Denies that the said Edmond gave her or any of the de-
fendants any keys or that she has any bonds belonging to him. [The
reply of the other defendants, Luke and Joseph Ivery, is not to be found.]

9. Luke Ivory ( William, Robert, Robert, Robert) of Offley, co. Hert5,
and Ealing, co. Middlesex, tallow-chandler, the testator of 1679,
baptized at Offley IG Jan. 1605/6, died, probably at Ealing, between
25 July and 4 Aug. 1671). He married there, 5 Nov. 1634, Eliza-
beth Hembro (or Hanbury), daughter of Edward Hanbury of
Ealing and sister of Luke and Peter Hanbury, emigrants to New
England.* The evidence that absolutely identifies Luke Ivory,
son of William of Offley, with the testator of Pealing in 1679 is the
mention in the Ealing registers of the burial of his kinsman Daniell
Waller, evidently either Luke's half-brother of that name or the
son of one of his half-brothers. Luke Ivory was a man of substance
and education, with a leaning toward Puritanism, if one may judge
bv his l)Ooks. These l>ooks were doubtless sent to his daughter
Dorcas Hovey in New England. It would be interesting to know
if anv of them are still in existence.
Children :

ii. Abigail, bapt. at Kaliug 4 Oct. 1G38 ; probably d. youii^j.

1643, died at Topsiield 5 Nov. 1711. She was married at Ipswich,

Mass., 3 Aug. 1665, to Serot. John' Hovey, who died at Tops-
field between 22 Mar. 1717/18 and 7 Apr. 1718, son of Daniel and
Abigail (Andrews) of that place ; and they settled at Topsfield.
How Dorcas Ivory came to emigrate to New England is not known.
She may have gone over to visit her uncles Peter and Luke Han-
bury, or the family of William Ivory of Lynn (if the latter was her
uncle), perhaps leaving London on account of the plague raging
there in the summer of 1665.

[From the foregoing wills and parish register entries and from New
England records the following Littlefield pedigree has been compiled :
1. Francis Littlefield of Titchfield, co. Hants, the testator of
1618, was born probably about 1565, and was buried at Titchfield 22 Oct.
1618. He married first Mart , who was buried at Titchfield 29
Oct. 1605; and secondly, at Titchfield, 14 July 1606, Annis Wigg, a
widow with two children, Elizabeth and Robert Wigg. She was probablj
the Anne Littlefield who was buried at Titchfield 5 July 1619. Francis
Littlefield was a clothier by trade and left a good estate. His parentage
has not l>een learned, but he had brothers, James Littlefield of Droxf(H^
and Richard Littlefield, and a sister Mary who married, 25 Jan. 1606/7,
John Beane.

2. Edmond Littlefield (Francis) of Titchfield, co. Hants, Exeter,
N. H., and Wells, Me., baptized at Titchfield 27 June 1592, died,
presumably at Wells, between 11 and 24 Dec. 1661. He married
at Titchfield, 16 Oct. 1614, Agnes (also called Anne and Annis)
Austin, probably baptized there 1 Feb. 1596/7, daughter of
Richard of Titchfield, the testator of 1623,* who in his will men-
tions her, her husband, and their three children, Edward, Francis,
and Anthony Littlefield. With six children and two servants, John
Knight and Hugh Durdall, she sailed for New England in the ship
Bems from Southampton in May 1638, giving her age as 38, al-
though in reality she was 41. It is not known when her husband
emigrated to New England, but he probably went thither with his
elder son Francis before the rest of the family. He appears first
at Exeter, where he signed the Combination 5 June 1639. He
removed to Wells, Me., where he received a grant of land from
Thomas Gorges 14 July 1643, and took the oath of allegiance to
IVIassachusetts 5 July 1653. As he was his father's eldest son and
heir, a settlement was probably made on him at the time of his
marriage in 1614. At his death he left an estate of £588. 13s. 4d.
Titchfield is a most attractive old-world village. It formerly
covered a much larger area, extending to Southampton Water and
the Solent. The church contains an ancient and beautiful monu-
ment to the Earls of Southampton, one of whom was the friend
and patron of Shakspere. Titchfield Place, one of the seats of
this family, was one of the abbeys dissolved by Henry VIII, but is
now merely a picturesque ruin.

By means of the exertions & benevolence of " The Society for propa-
gating:; the Gospel '' established in Boston, & some liberal minded gentle-
men in Newburyport Portsmouth & other places, there is a prospect &
hope that another place of worship will be erected on the Seite of the
olcl one, & the means of religious & moral instruction be again regularly
afforded to tlie unfortunate and almost forsaken people of these Islands.

Gosport Oct. 20 1800
This day the stone building on the hill is completed and it is intended
by the donors to be used as a place of public worship and as a school house
and it is hoped it may be useful as a landmark for seamen.
The pews belong by purchase to the following persons : —
No 1 the minist^T for the time being No 4 Mr. Wm Pierce
- 2 Mrs. Sarjdi Mace 5 Mr Sam' Haley jun'
- 3 Mr. John Caswell 6 Mr John Newton
Dudley A Tyng*
• As Morse points out above and elsewhere, Mr. Tyng was the prime mover ia
awakening an interest in the affairs of the Star Islanders. The money for the new
church came chiefly from Salem, Portsmouth, Exeter, Boston, and Newburyport.
This building, 24 feet by 36 feet on the outside, with walls two feet thick, was snuUer
than the other church, which was of wood and 48 feet long and 28 feet wide, bat stood
in the same place.

* The last six words of this memorandam haTe been scratched out, and some one
else has inserted the words, ** Roof and interior wood work," to indicate that the walls
remained, as indeed they do to this day. It will be seen below (p. lOS of original
seoords) tnat the church was rebuilt in 1830. This entry mar have been made by Mr.
8e^raU« minister at this time, whose career, soon to be cut short, is noted on p. 86 of
lese records.
f The record ends here abruptly. The explanation of this entry appears to be, that
B agreement was drawn up and signed ; but, before a copy could be entered in the
Ibook, the delegates to the dedication were obliged to go away, availing themselves, as
Blioelers used to say, of a "chance " to get ashore. The text of these articles may
lie found in 1 Matt. Hitt. Soe. Coll., vol. 7| pp. 260, 261, bat unfortunately the names of
"ttie snbscribers are not given.
XMr. John Low accompanied Mr. Morse on his Tisit to the Shoals to dedicate the
^MW meetinff-house in Nov. 1800, and spent a short time on Star Island as a missionary
finring the following winter, but was soon compelled by ill health to retire. In the
wring of 1801 Mr. Josiah Stevens took his place, carrying out the purpose of the So-
^^ktyand other friends of the Shoalers with much success up to the time of his death
Ma le04. At first Mr. Stevens lived on Smutty Nose, Susanna Haley^ whom he mar-
Wiitdt being of that island and a daughter of Samuel Haley, 1st. Dunns the summer
'^Boney was raised by a new subscription to build a parsonage on Star Island. Then
'Hie Stevens family moved into this house, which was the parsonage-house of many
^irbo came after him. It was destroyed by fire in the spring of 1905.
tHr. l^dgin was settled at Hampton.
The words ** the Rev " are in another hand. Mr. Porter was probably still at Rye.
oee remained on the Shoals.
H The entry has this form either because Stevens was not ordained or becanse his
MBuniMion as Justice was of recent date (7 Jan. 1802).

viduals of Newburyport S. Pratt, C. F. Muzzy & P S Cleland, Members
of the Theo. Seminary, Andover came to this Island on the 15^ inst to
spend a short time in visiting and preaching to the inhabitants. We were
very cordially received & entertained. The people gave very good attention
to our instructions. The hope through the grace of God, that our labors
will not be in vain May they prove a savor of life to many souls. Our
efforts were commenced on Friday night, at the house of Mr Joseph Cas-
well with prayers and exhortations. On Saturday P.M. a meeting was
held in the meeting house & the people were address[ed] by Messrs Cleland
& Muzzy from Rev 3 : 20 A meeting was held on the evening of the
same day when Mr. Cleland addressed an attentive audience from 2 Cor.
5 : 20 In the morning of Sat. we with some friends from Newburyport
visited the school of Mrs. Chickering with which we were highly pleased.
Sabbath morning we visited the Sabbath School. At 10 o'dpck Mr
Pratt preached
[107]
from Prov. 1 : 24-27 At one oclock in the P.M. Mr Pratt again preached
from Hebs 2 : 3 The people paid good attention. In the evening Mr.
Muzzy preached from Luke 19 : 42 The house was fuller than at any
previous time during our visit.
During our stay on the Island we were entertained at the house of Mr
Joseph Caswell. The family bestowed on us every kindness & attention
May the Lord reward them for all their efforts for our comfort Sabbath
afternoon we all visited Madame Caswell. We found her in a feeble state
of health ; but resigned to the afflictive dispensation of Grods Providence.
May the Lord spare her if aggreeable to his will, to be a blessing to those

heaven through Jesus Christ

BARBADIAN NOTES
By G. AiTDRBWi MoBiAXTT, Jb^ AM.f of Newport^ B. L
DuBiNG a recent vimt to the Island of Barbados, in search of drfa
concerning certain of his ancestral lines, the writer of tiiia aitide
made a point of collecting eyerything that he found reHatiag to
New England and Virginian families. This field of reaearoh is a
new and comparatiyelj unknown one ; for while many Amerieans aie
interested in mvestigating their ancestral lines in England, few ne
aware of the importance of the records presenred in this xemoCe
island, especially for students of ihe history and genealogy of tib
flourishing coast towns of New England and of old Lower Norfolk
County, Virginia.
Barbados, fondly known to its loyal inhahitants as ** litde ^j^
land,** is the most southern and eastern of the Caribbee Idnfi^
being a little more than half way between New York and Pna m
the Amazon, or about 2000 nules southeast of the former c%«
It has been under British rule without any interruption aince 1609^
when the sailors of the Olive Blossom took possession of the idni
in the name of King James. The first settlement waa made ■
1627, under the auspices of Sir William Courten, a wealthy Loadm
merchant, at ^ The Hole,** now called Hdletown, and in 1629 lb
settlers under the charter of the Earl of Carlisle settled at the IndiB
Bridge, now called Bridgetown, the capital.
From the earliest dajB of the settlement the Barbadians weR
loyal to their king and devoted to the Church of England. At tk
time of the Cromwellian usurpation they proclaimed King Charles 11,
and under the leadership of Lord Willoughby of Parham droTS tk
Dissenters from the island. So hostile were they to the Commoa-
wealth that Sir George Ayscue was sent to reduce them, but sodk
a stout resistance was made that they secured a most advantngsiMi
peace. Sugar-planting brought such prosperity to Barbados tiMt
by 1670 the population was reckoned at 150,000, of whom 50,000
were whites and 100,000 blacks, and this prosperity continued udA
the American War.
Barbados is one of the few British colonies still governed by ib
ancient charter, and the islanders, while always jealous of Aor
rights and firm in defending them, have never found it neoessarf li
rebel against their sovereign, but glory in their long histoiy of as-
shaken loyalty to England and in the fact that the root of a fixefp
invader has never desecrated their shores.
- During a large part of the seventeenth and eighteenth
the connection of New England and Virginia with Barbados
extremely close. No history dealing wiw the American cokniil
period, save the recent admirable woi^ of Professor Channing, bii
ever dealt adequately with the intercourse between these ookmifli*
1913] Barbadian Notes 361
And yet the Bostonian or Salemite of the middle of the seventeenth
century was undoubtedly far more familiar with Bridgetown than
with New Amsterdam or Fort Orange. The people of New Eng-
land, Virginia and Maryland, Bermuda, and Barbados constituted
the colonial empire of England at this early date, and these colonies
were bound together by common ties of blood and language and by
their hatred of the Dutchmen and Frenchmen who threatened to dis-
pute with the English the supremacy of the Western World. Many
of the New England settlers had brothers or kinsmen among the
settlers at Barbados, while the exchange of timber and salt fish firom
New England for muscovado sugar and molasses from Barbados
formed the principal trade of seventeenth-century Boston, Salem,
and Newport. From Barbados came those ship-loads of molasses
that were made into New England rum at Newport and Bristol,
and the timber edifices at Barbados were erected with lumber brought
from New England. Then again there were constant migrations of
families between the two places. From Barbados came the Rodmans
of Khode Island and the Parrises of Massachusetts, while the tyranny
of the Massachusetts theocracy drove many of her finest citizens who
adhered to the Church of England to seek refuge among the conge-
nial and cultivated planters of the southern island.
An examination of the records of Barbados will well repay the
New England antiquary. They abound in references to New Eng-
land and to New Englanders. Many a worthy who disappears
early from our records will be found reappearing in those of this
tropical island, while in the graveyard at the Bridgetown cathedral
are to be found the names of many a famous New England family.
The following notes form only a part of those taken by the writer dur-
ing a three weeks' stay at the island. The work of research is made
easy at Bridgetown by the fact that in the Public Record Office are to
be found not merely the probate records and the land records of the
island, with numerous documents pertaining to business transactions,
but also transcripts of the registers of all the parishes of Barbados,
the original registers in many caaes having perished in the hurricanes
that rage so frequently in the tropics. Calendars and indexes serve
to point the way through the mass of materials. In some cases
original wills have been preserved ; in others the recorded copies
only remain. If in the following notes the writer succeeds in arous-
ing the interest of New Englanders in a far-away island, with which
intercourse practically ceased afler 1776 but with which, previous to
that time, the closest relations existed, and if the facts here presented
are of any help to his brother antiquaries in New England, he will
feel that his time has been well spent.*
*The writer wishes to express his thanks to E. O. Sinkler, Esq., magistrate at
and interest, and above all to Edwin Fitspatrick, Esq., of the Cathedral, for placing
hit expert knowledge of the records at the writer's disposal and for aiding him in his
Marches.

[The records given above relate to the Maverick £unily of Noddles Island. Na-
thaniel, the testator of 1670, is the man of whom Savage, Gen. Diet., vol. 3, p. ISl,
hears no more after 1660. The agreement of 14 Jan. 1649/60 is of great interest to
New Englanders, for in addition to Nathaniel Maverick there are found here Richard
IHnes, the early Saco settler, who removed to Barbados, where he died, leaving a will
which has already been published (Rboistsr, voL 64, p. 148), and John Turner, in
all probability an early Boston merchant who appears frequently in the Aspinwall
Notarial Records and who probably removed to Barbados. He is perhaps identical
with John Turner, gentleman, of Three Houses in the parish of St. PhUip, Barbados.
This latter John married the widow of Col. Reynold AUeyne and is certainly a cousin
of Capt. John Turner of Salem, Mass., who built the well-known House of the
Stvea Qables.]

Abraham Redwood came to Salem from Antigua, and his children settled at New-

NOTES
It having oome to the attention of this Sooiety that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
1 connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de-
vires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publications other than those that it issues over its own name
at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
The Committee on English Hesearch desires to state, however,
that although the Society has no official representative in England
the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her time as
a searcher of records there along special lines for the benefit of the
Langdon Bible Records.— The following entries are taken from a Bible
printed at Oxford, England, by Thomas Baskett, Printer to the University, but
without date. It is in two volumes, the first ending in the middle of a word in
the last chapter of Job. On the first fly-leaf are written the words ^^ Cost 18/.
Sterling in London," and on the opposite page ^^ Mary Langdon*s July 1764."
This Bible is now owned by Arthur L. Ferry, Esq., of (Hrd&ier, Me., a great-
great-grandson of the original owner.
The Langdons were a well-known Boston family, and an account of them
may be found in Registbb, vol. 80, pp. 85-87. John Langdon (No. 7 of the
pedigree in Reoister), husband of Mary, the owner of the book, was a Boston
merchant, and there is a tradition among his descendants that he gave yearly a
dinner to the inmates of Boston almshouses. There was a Langdon tomb in
the Copp*s Hill Bury ing-Ground, where both John and Mary Langdon are thought
to have been buried, and Langdon Place also exists as a memorial of the family.
The record follows :

Hotchkiss-Johnson-Thobcpson : ADDinoNS.— The following items relate ti
genealogies that have recently appeared in the Rbgister.
Elias Hotchkiss (96. Register, vol. 67, p. 224) married first Almlra WooA-
ward and secondly Julia . I am indebted to Mrs. Natalie B. Pemald of
Washln^n, D. C, for the name of his first wife. Probably all of his chndm
were by his first wife.
In Register, vol. 66, pp. 15-17, evidence was presented to prove that Walla
Johnson of Walllngford was son of Jan Wouters of Branford, Conn., FlatiNnl,
L. I., and New York. The following record from Branford, contrlbotod ^
Miss Ethel Lord Scofield of East Haven, confirms this conjecture : On 81 te
1708/4 John Wooters, ^^ some time since a resident of Branford, now a Sojomtf
in the town of Walllngford," conveys land in Branford. Witnesses : JohnBiB
and Walter Janson. (Branford Deeds, vol. 2, p. 203.)
Eleanor Johnson, who married 14 Oct. 1714 Joseph Cook of Walllngf ocd 0I
Goshen, and whose parentage has not hitherto been determined, was protaHf
a daughter of Walter Johnson by his second wife. The names Walter aai
Lambert appear among her children.
John Thompson (4. Register, vol. 66, p. 200) married Anne Vicarls at Hot*
ton 4th of the 6th month 1656. Mary Thompson (17, x. <&., p. 206) did art
marry William Hotchkiss, whose wife Mary was daughter of Isaac ThonpioB
(9, ill, 8. ib., p. 204).

Champion Genralogt : Corrkction.— I send the following correction of a
Btatement in my Champion Grenealogy, New HaveUf 1891 :
The first wife of Joshua Champion (7, p. 84) was Mary Mott, bom at Lyme,
Conn., 10 Mar. 1692/8, daughter of Samuel (not John) and Mary (Brockway).
This is proved by the will of Samuel Mott, on file at New London, Conn., a copy
of which was sent to me by G. Andrews Moriarty, Jr., Esq., of Newport, R. I.
The birth of this Mary Mott is given in Mr. Moriarty's article on '^ Nathaniel
Mott of Scituate and his Sons" (Register, vol. 67, p. 26).

Historical Intelligence
Robinson- White-Carver.— In the Boston Evening Transcript of January 24,
1906, an account was given of the discovery by William Prescott Greenlaw, Esq.,
Librarian of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, of the record of
tbe marriage of '' Mr. John Robynson & Mistress Bridget Whyte," 15 Febmary
1608/4. Although the name of the wife of Rev. John Robinson, the minister of
the Pilgrim church at Scrooby and Leyden, had been known for years, the place
•nd date of the marriage were not known to genealogists until Mr. Greenlaw
Cftlled attention to the record given above, which he had found in the then
zeeently-printed marriages from the registers of Greasley, co. Notts, England.
^8ee Nottinghamshire Parish Registers, Marriages, vol. 8, p. 99.) Greasley is
• parish in the southwestern part of Notts, seven miles northwest from Not-
iinghun and very near the border of Derbyshire. It is many miles distant from
Scrooby, which is in the northern part of the county, where search for John
Bobinson's birth and parentage had been for the most part carried on.
Since the publication in the Transcript of the article referred to, the parents
of Bey. John Robinson and those of his wife have been found (see 7^« Christian
JUffisUr, vol. 90, pp. 174-176, 208-204), and in The Colonial^ vol. 1, pp. 46-47, a
nafi^ine recentiy established by the American Society of Colonial Families
•ira published quarterly at 6 Beacon Street, Boston, the Robinson Genealogical
Boelety presents Robinson and White records as follows :
The will of John Robinson, yeoman, of Sturton, co. Notts, dated 14 March
1918/14 and proved 19 August 1614, is given in full, copies of this will and of
the other wills mentioned l>elow having been obtained from the probate regla-
try at York. The testator bequeaths to *^John Robinson my eldest sonne,"
to his [the son's] wife, to ^^ John theire son," to ^^ everie of theire other chil-
dren," to *^ William Robinson my Younger Sonne," to ^* the wife of the said
William," to *' everie of their said children," to ^'my sonne in la we Roger
Lanson," to '* my Cosen William Fenton .... and to his Daughter my (Sxi
daaghter." Other bequests also are made. Executrix: ^^my lovinge Wyfe
Anne Robinson." Overseers : ^^ my lovinge Cozen William Fenton " and ^^ my
kyrlnge sonne William Pearl."
Extracts are also given from the will of Ann Robinson, widow of the testator
of 1618/14, dated 16 October 1616 and proved 16 January 1616/17. The testa-
trix bequeaths to '^ my sonne John my sonne and heir apparent," to ^' Bridgett
Boblnson Wife of my sonne John," to ^^ John Robinson sonne of my said sonne
John," to ^* every one of my said John his children," to ^' Ellen my sonne
William his Wife," to '' everye one of his [William's] chUdren," to '' four of
882 IToies [OeU
the children of my sonne in lawe WniUm Fearle tbit U to smy to WlUta
Thomas Gri^nall and John Pearle," to ^^ Mr Charles White of Starton,"* wboii
appointed overseer of the will, and to ^^ my said sonne William Boblnson."
From these two wills it is dear that John Bobinson, yeoman, of Stutoii, eo.
Notts, and his wife Ann were the parents of Ber. John Bobinsoiu Startai,
now known as Storton-le-Steeple, is a parish a few miles southeast from Sctmh
by and is in the northeastern part of Notts, near the border of LtincoliishSre.
The re^sters of this parish are not known to exist for the period prior to 1M|
and the record of the baptism of Rev. John Bobinson has not yet been fomd.
An abstract of the will of Alexander White of Storton, dated 15 March lS9i/$
and proved 6 Biay 1696, mentions brothers John and William White, son Chsritt
White, daughters Katherin, Bridget, Jane, and Frances (all under twenty-one),
^*my yongr Sonnes Thomas Boger and Edward White," and ^^ Ellenor my lor-
inge Wife." This Alexander White was the father of Bev. John Bobinson^
wife.
In the will of John White of Newton, oo. Notts, dated 16 March 1596/6 and
proved 17 January 1605/6, ^^ my necee Bridget White* is mentioned.
In this article in The Coloni<U the statement also is made that Oatherise
White, sister of Bridget (White) Bobinson, married first George I^egatt and,
after his death, John Carver, the first governor of Plymouth Colony. In a
manuscript volume in the Library of the New England Historic Genealogicil
Society, which contains extracts from various English parish registers, are the
following baptisms from the registers of Doncaster, co. York, to which the
attention of the editor has been directed by Mr. Greenlaw, and which may be
of importance to those searching for the ancestry of Governor Carver :
1564 Sept 9 John, s. of Bobert Caruer.
1567 M'ch 27 Willm, s. of Bobte Caruer.
Eablt Sbttlbrs at Wbtmouth akd Bridokwateb, Mass. — ^In toI. 1 of
Dwelly's Parish Becords, published at Heme Bay, England, in 1913 and reoentij
received at the Library of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Is
printed the first portion of the Bishop's Transcripts at Wells, England, ^^Mag
those that are in the most fragile condition." On pp. 58-67 fragmentary tn»
scripts of the registers of Batcombe, oo. Somerset, are given, and sevenl
surnames are found there which appear in the list of the company that came to
Weymouth, Mass., with Bev. Joseph Hull in 1685/6. (See the list of this eomr
pany in Begistbr, vol. 25, pp. 13-15, reprinted in Nash's Weymouth, pp. Si7-
850.) These transcripts show that Bobert son of Christopher Martin wti
christened 25 April 1597, that Christopher Martin was buried 10 May 1605, thit
Thomas Bartlett and Joane Martin, widow, were married 11 July 1607, and that
William son of Christopher Martin was buried 5 August 1607. Sarah daughter
of Timothy Taber was christened 18 February 1629/80, and there are otiwr
Taber entries. Among the other surnames in these Batcombe transcripts are
Shepheard, Lovell, Jesup, Persons, Horllarde, and Addams, all of which, allows
ing for variations in spelling, are found in the list of Bev. Joseph Hull's com-
pany. Richard Bernard, as rector, signs the transcripts for 1617 and 1€9<
Unfortunately the original registers of Batcombe do not go farther back this
1642, and there are many gaps in the early transcripts ; but a search of tte
records of the neighboring parishes and in the probate registry at Wells mi^t
throw light on the ancestry of some of the Weymouth company.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT
Members of the
New England Historic Genealogical Society,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
My first duty is to thank you for the continued confidence you
have again exhibited in electing me your president for another year.
I assure you I shall do all in my power to serve the interests of the
Society,
This is the first annual meeting in our new building, and this
year marks the beginning of a new era in the history of this Society ;
hence we must put forth our best efforts to promote its growth and
usefulness — not that this Society has been backward in its duties
at any time, for in its entire history it has been served by official
boards composed of men earnestly devoted to its interests, but that
now, with better facilities, it has a wider field for the exercise of its
energies.
This extremely convenient and attractive building, the possession
of which we have so long contemplated as a consummation devoutly
to be wished, but afar off, we now have the satisfaction of opening
to students from all parts of the country who are interested in the
objects of the Society, and such will always find a fraternal welcome
to it.
When it was decided to undertake the erection of a new building,
so greatly needed but so difficult of achievement, the question of
means was a serious one, which might well awaken hesitation
in prudent minds, for to incur an indebtedness of seventy-five and
perhaps a hundred thousand dollars was a forbidding prospect ; but
by the generosity of our members who contributed to our necessities
the work has been accomplished, and to-day our mortgage indebted-
ness is but $45,000. This is much less than any of us contemplated,
but our enlargement will, of course, increase our annual expendi-
ture, and it is most desirable to cancel this debt as soon as possible*
Z K. B. mSTOBIO OENEALOGIOAL SOOEBTr
With the debt removed, and with an increase of membeiBbip nUdk
we can confidently look forward to, there is no leaaon why the w^
{illness of the Society cannot be largely extended.
This prompts me to speak of present conditions, 00 different ftca
those existing when the Society was formed. Since that time As
population of this State, of New England eztractioiiy haa decrasidi
in percentage over one-half. The great increase in popuIatioB sf
foreign parentage presents a significant problem which demandi a^
tice, and our Society, which is a patriotic one, should give it att»
tion*
The nationalities which have most largely contributed to this ifr
crease are Irish, French, Jewish, and Italian, and to tfaeae, wUi
extending a welcome to all, we should give especial enooumgOMil
I am glad to mention the genealogical work of the Abb4 Dijfi^
on the descendants of Franco-Americans, which is a harbingvrf
further useful eflforts of this nature.
Of course it is likely to be asked : Will these fbreignen take ■
interest in their family history? In rqply, we muat oonaider llrt
a percentage of these new-comers are men of anoeetij as wwAyrf
remembrance as our own, and may well take an intereat in pujwi
ing to their descendants the records of their worth ; besides, m
have had ample experience of the fact that hardly any man wb
gives his attention to the study of genealogy fails to find some t^
cestor in whom he may rightly have a feeling of pride. This nsf
seem unimportant to the imreflective mind, but I think I almo^
utter a truism when I say that pride in one's ancestors, by wUck
I mean a worthy regard for one's forbears who have distinguidNl
themselves by virtuous and useful lives, is highly promotive of p^
triotism, in other words, that worthy family pride and patriotic
are correlative. As the Abb^ Dejordy has interested himself in Ai
genealogy of his French compatriots in America, we may exftft>
similar work to be undertaken by other nationalities among us, nl
I believe that you will agree with me that we should encourage it
To become a united people as a nation, we must ftlimiT|itf^, ngi
prejudice, a wholly unreasoning sentiment, and regard all who ban
cast in their fortunes with us as fellow-citizens. We are, and m
to be, more and more a composite people, and in this we iM
discern a Provideiitial leading. It was a member of that remnk*
able race, the Hebrew, who with almost prophetic vision limned die

first chart which guided Columbus through the sea of darkness to
the New World. Three Italians, Columbus, Cabot, and Verrazano,
were among our great discoverers; three Frenchmen, Cartier,
Champlain, and La Salle, were among our great explorers ; while
two Italians, Martyr and Benzoni, gave us our first American history
and our first book of travels. Men of the British Empire, English,
Scotch, and Irish, took a commanding place in colonization, and
their efforts, aided by the men of the nationalities mentioned and by
others whose cooperation they welcomed, have made this nation
what it is. Such is the lesson of history.
But I will not pursue this subject further, and will close by
briefly emphasizing two more thoughts. The Council's Report re-
fers to two subjects of immediate interest. The^r^^ is the increase
of membership. During the past year we have increased our
membership to twelve hundred and nine, a net increase of seventy-
six. We should increase it to two thousand, and we can do so if
every member will make exertion to that end. The second relates
to foreign research, to sustain which requires unnecessary efibrt, the
reason for which seems evident. Thus far this branch of our work
has been of a general nature. We have been flinging wide a net
without regard to the kind of fish we took, taking it for granted that
in time they coiQd be made use of. Might it not be wiser to direct
our efforts to a narrower field, and make them of immediate and
direct use to our own members ? I can see no reason why a list of
the members of this Society cannot be placed in the hands of those
engaged in foreign research, with directions to search especially for
the English connections of these members. If this is done, there
will be no trouble in raising the necessary means to prosecute English
research ; besides, if discoveries useful to members are made, it will
stimulate personal effort, and create a deeper interest in genealogical
study. Let us no longer maintain this work unless we can do so
heartily, as we cannot imder present conditions.
Thanking you for your cordial cooperation in the past, I extend
to each and all of you my best wishes for your welfare during the
year before us.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL
Prepared by O. Andbbws Mokiahtt, Jr.> A.M.
The year 1912 has been one of the most important in the history
>f the Society. Not only has a magnificent and spacious new build-
Bg been erected, but a new and definite system of expansion, with
I wider scope in the work undertaken, has been entered upon. An
irganized efibrt is being made not only to increase the membership
>ut especially to increase the membership outside of Massachusetts,
ind to bring the Society into closer touch with persons interested
in its work in the other New England States and indeed throughout
!ihe country, as weU as to secure closer relations with kindred so-
cieties.
This policy of expansion finds its best expression in the erection
>f the new building, and brings with it a far greater drain upon our
finances than ever before ; accordingly the Council strongly recom-
mends that all members of the Society interest themselves in raising
Fionds to meet the increased expense of running this structure, as
weH as to pay off the indebtedness which it has been necessary to
incur in its erection. The matter of the expense incurred in the
srection of the new building will be treated more fully imder that
head.
Membership
With regard to the increase in membership, the year 1912 has
been a most auspicious one ; 139 new members have been added,
including a number of life members, and only 23 old members have
been lost otherwise than by death. The total number of members
is 1209, showing an increase of 76 new members. This result is
most satisfactory, and it is to be hoped that all the members of the
Society will endeavor to make the increase next year still l£»*ger.
Finances
During the year the expenses of the Society have increased, ow-
ing to the unusual expenses that have been incurred in the erection
of the new building, the cost of moving, etc., and owing to the fact
that part of our income formerly obtained from the property on
Allston Place is no longer available, because that property has been
t«ken for a building-site. A detailed account of the Society's finan-
ee8 will be found in the Treasurer's report. At this point, how-
ever, the Council wishes to express its appreciation of the many
(xv)
Xvi N. B. mSTOBIO OEHXALOGiaAL BOOIBXT
generous subscriptions that have been giyen towaids the ne
ing fimd, which have greatly lighten^ and indeed made
the work of erecting tlw edifice, and to urge upon the SociBly tai
great need of increasing its income to meet tlie new dcsmands npai
The Neu) Building
The greatest work undertaken this year has been the eraedbi
upon the Ashburton and Allston Place property of a moden fiD^
proof and properly equipped building for the purpoee of honsmg^
priceless liorary and manuscripts of the Society. The total coit rf
this building has amounted to $127,801.88, of which $75,8810
has already been raised by subscription, and a deficit of akoil
$38,419.63 yet remains. While the Sodefy is to be congratdWi
upon the large amount raised, it should be brought to the wX
of every member that great exertions must still oe made to
funds to meet the large deficit in the total cost, and it is the hopeai
belief of the Council that it will have the hearty and active aqfiil
of the Society in meeting the financial problem created hy the CB^
tion of the new structure at 9 Ashburton Place, To meet the drfl»
cit the Society has authorized the President and Treaaorer to bcniv
a sum not exceeding $85,000, and to give a note therefor pnydVl =
in not more than ten years at a rate of interest not eoBoeediiig M j
per annum, and to deliver in the Society's name a power-eMb |
mortgage on the Society's property at 9 Ashburton Place and 3, \
and 7 Allston Place, but it has been necessary thus far to jdaoe •
mortgage of only $45,000.
The architects chosen were the firm of Messrs. Brainerd & Leedi
of Boston, while the general contract was given to L. P. Souk i
Co. of Boston. The plumbing contract was awarded to W. E
Mitchell & Co., the heating contract to the Cieghom Co., and di
electric lighting to the M. B. Foster Electric Co.
The comer-stone of the new building was laid with im
and appropriate exercises by the President of the Society on" Mfld
18, 1912, and on December 21, 1912, Forefathera' Day, die li-
brary and offices were moved into their new quarters.
It is a matter of utmost importance that our priceless colkctiai
have been housed at last in a modem and fire-proof building, ^
such a size and such accommodations that every part of our vart fit
lection of books and manuscripts will be henceforth accessible •
members and to the public.
The old quarters at 18 Somerset Street were sold to Sinunoa
College on advantageous terms, and were vacated on July tt
1912. Durmg the intervening months, undl the new building «>
ready for occupancy, the Ashburton Place store of H. ELurtT
was rented, and the books most used were installed therein fcr
accommodation of members of the Society.
BEPOBT OF THE COUNCIL XYU
As soon as the new quarters are in proper running order, it ia
planned to set aside a certain part of the new building for the use of
0ach patriotic societies as may care to avail themselves of the offer,
and dius, it is hoped, closer relations will be established with
kindred organizations.
JPublicationa
The amount and quality of the Society's publications during the
jear 1912 have been kept up to its high standard. It haer been de-
cided, in recognition of the munificent bequest of the late Robert
Heniy Eddy to the Society, that the suite of rooms set aside for the
editorial staff be called the Robert Henby Eddy Memorial Rooms,
and that, beginning with January 1, 1913, all publications of the
Society bear on their title-pages an inscription showing that they'
are issued from these rooms. It has idso been decided to in-
crease the number of copies of the Register printed, beginning
January 1, 1913, from 1350 to 1600, and to compile annually, in
. addition to the Register and the Proceedings at the Annual Meet-
i ing, about 1200 pages of vital records, further printing of vital
[ lecords being deferred until ftirther action of the Council, which
: will be based upon the continuance of the present appropriation by
tike State. Meanwhile the work of compiling and verifying the
Tital records of various towns continues. In all, during the year
1912, over 1152 pages have been printed by the Society, whose
miblications are among the most important and valuable of their
iDXid in the United States.
In the spring Henry Edwards Scott, Esq., was appointed Asso-
ciate Editor, and in the autumn F. Apthorp Foster, Esq., who had
ao long ably edited the Register and the other publications of the
Society, resigned, and Mr. Scott was appointed Editor in his place.
It was also decided, on the recommendation of the Committee on
. Publications, to organize the editorial staff so that it shall consist
• Ot an editor and two assistants, which latter may be employed on
.Any editorial work of the Society, and to continue the present
aratem of compiling the annual index of the Register and the
:imtB of recent books.
I The Council wishes to congratulate the Society upon having ob-
. tained the valuable services of Mr. Scott as Editor, who, it feels sure,
wiU ably carry on the admirable work done by his predecessors.
English Research
\ The work of the Committee on English Research has been car-
P^ned on, as in the past few years, by Miss Elizabeth French with
nPBK>0t satisfactory results, and each number of the Register for the
^j^aat year has contained an article of solid and satisfactory facts
concerning the English ancestry of our early New England emi-
in the cost of this structure render it uecemaiy that we >
be far more active than in the past in Becnring funds for the S
and in increasing its membership ; and accordingly all loyal me
of the Society should bear this constantly in mind and work ti
common good.
The Council wishes grateJidly to acknowledge the generou
tributions made to the Society during the past year, and to i
tbe largest donors of a perpetual recognition of their generoa
the names of the memorial rooms, but at the same time it ezp
equally hearty thanks to other donors and aasoiea them of the
lasting gratitude of the Society.
It wishes also to call the attendtm of the pablio at large U
new and splendid facilities for placing our tieasnrea at their di^
and to urge them to cooperate with the Society in its earnest '
of preserving the memories of the founders of New England,
is with on increased seriousness, always the companion of h
undertakings, but with a fixed belief that still greater things u
store for the Society, that the Council turns towards the year 1!
with its promises of wider influence and greater osefulness.

The Report of the Committee on FinanOe, by John Albree,
Secretary :
During the year 1912 there has been a number of changes in
the investments of the Society.
The estate 18 Somerset Street, occupied by the Society for forty
years, was sold to the Trustees of Simmons College, and a mortgage
thereon for $37,500, with collateral agreements, was taken.
To provide funds to make eflTective the vote of the Council direct-
ing the transfer of $14,000 from the Robert Henry Eddy Fund to
the Building Fund, there were sold
$5,000 Canada Southern Ry. Co. 6'b, Jan. 1913 . . $5,038.42
$9,000 New York Central R.B. Co. 5*8, Nov. 1913 . $9,135.55
Also there were sold
$4,000 Chicago, Burlington & Qoincy R.B. Co.
(Southwestern Div.) 4's, Sept 1921 . . . $4,029.78
And with the proceeds there were bought

The estate 69 Bushnell Street was sold, and a mortgage for
$3,500 was taken thereon. The Society has received one legacy.
The late Caroline M. Martin of Dover, N. H., bequeathed a por-
trait of her father. Dr. Noah Martin (1801-1863), and the sum of
$200, the income of which is to be used for its care.
The Report of the Committee on the Libbabt, by Helen Frances
KimbaU, Chairman :
The year 1912 has been an eventful one in the history of the
Ldbrary, marking the removal of the genealogical collections gath-
ered by three generations from the old home of the Society into new
and safe quarters, where adequate space for future growth has been
provided. Temporary quarters for the clerical work and the greater
mrt of the strictly genealogical books were secured at 5 Ashburton
Place, where from die 1st of August members were able to consult
most of the books wanted. During the last half of July the balance
of the books was placed in two huge storage vaults in the new
building. On Forefathers' Day was begun the removal of the books
from 5 Ashburton Place into die stack in the new building, aild at
noon of that day members began using books in the new Library.
The removal was completed on the 30th of December.
The regular work of the Library has gone on as usual, but the
year did not present as many opportunities as former years to ac-
quire genealogies.
The transfer of the old property, 18 Somerset Street, to Simmons
College on the 1st of August, which made necessary the removal to
ZX IT. B. HI8TOBI0 GENKAX/MIOAL BOCOETT
temporary quarters, bas given the Sociely ft very denrable neighbor,
and materiidlj assisted the financing of the new boOding.
There have been several changes in the Libnuy stan, but no ifr>
crease in the number of enmlovees, and it is hoped that the mm
building can be administered without any substantial increaae of As
pay-roll.
The Beport of the Committee on Pobucationb» by James Bufar
Parmenter, A.M., LL.B., Chairman:
The Committee on Publications reports that during the year 1911»
in addition to the Begisteb and the ProoeedingB at the AnnnJ
Meeting, which together make a volume of 520 pages, the Sociely bi
published the Yitu Records of Abington, in two volumes, contHnim
632 pages — in all 1152 pages for the year. During the last two yem
the publication of Vital Becords by the Sode^ has proceeded mon
n^idly than the Commonwealth with the appropriation at its dispofll
has been able to purchase them ; and it luis merefore seemed htd
to the Committee to defer the printing of the Vital Beoords of adfr
tional towns until those already publiiuied have been taken and nil
for by the Commonwealth. ^Dus action of the Committee has Mi
approved bv the Council. In the meantime the work of preparim
for eventual publication the Vital Becords of several towns and cilia
in Massachusetts is making steady progress.
Towards the end of July, when die Society vacated the buildny
at 18 Somerset Street which had been for many years its home, Ae
office of the editorial department was transferred from the Marshdl
P. Wilder Hall in the old building to the temporary quarters of tk
Society at 5 Ashburton Place, where the work of the depaitmei
was carried on for about five months. On December 21, 191i^
however, the department was moved into the rooms designed esp^
cially for its use in the new building of the Society at 9 AshboittS
Place. By vote of the Council these rooms have been named tk
BoBEBT Henby Eddy Memobial Booms, in grateful recognid*
of the generosity of the late Bobert . Henry Eddy, a part of irhm
munificent bequest to the Society forms the Eddy Town-Record Eari;
and makes possible the participation by the Society in the worl[ d-\
compiling and publishing the Vital B^rds of Massachusetts toftm
By a further vote of the Council all the future publications of tbj
Society will be issued from these rooms and will bear on tiaitj
covers or title-pages a statement to that effect.
At the October meeting of the Council Mr. F. Aptfaorp Foilffj
resigned the editorship and also his membership in the ComnuMj
on Publications, and IMr. Henry Edwards Scott, who had
Associate Editor since early in May, 1912, was appointed EfiVJ
by the Council. The Committee wishes to express its appreciiti<|
of Mr. Foster's services and its regret at his withdrawal.

The Report of the Committee ox Hebaldrt, by Robert DA
Weston, A.B., Chairman :
No occasion for holding a meeting of this Committee hu in
during the paat year. The members of the Committee have, k
ever, given advice and assistance to a considerable number of pM
who have written or interviewed them for the purpose of obW
REPOBT0 OF COlfMITTEES xxtil
information. Some of these calls came from those whose
interest in the subject was personal and genealogical ; some from those
who had been employed to carre or paint coats of arms. To all who
applied to them the members of the Committee gave such assistance
as the circumstances seemed to require or the time at their disposal
permitted.

Tlie Report of the Committee on Epitaphs, by Charles Sidney
Ensign, LL.B., Chairman:
The Committee on Epitaphs reports that during the year the fol-
lowing copies of inscriptions have been received from the donors as
indicated, and the thanks of the Society are due to them for their
gifts: Brockton (Mass.) Gravestone Records (two packages) and
West Bridgewater (Mass.) Gravestone Records (three packages,
one of which contains the inscriptions from the Ames FamUy Bury-
ing-Ground) , from the Eddy Town-Record Fund ; Inscriptions from
the Old Cemetery in Groveland, Mass., from Lloyd Vernon Briggs,
M.D. ; Inscriptions on Gravestones in the Old Cemetery at Han-
cock, N. H., from E. S. Ware, Town Clerk; Uxbridge Cemetery
Becords, from Frederick H. Whitin ; Old Churchyard Inscriptions,
South Salem, Westchester Co., N. Y., from Mrs. M. L. Holman.
The success that has attended the appeals for the preservation of
inscriptions in the Massachusetts graveyards can be duplicated else-
where through the same agencies, that is, the members of patriotic
societies and individuals who are actuated in the work either through
a reverence for their ancestors or a realization that on these old and
too often neglected memorials is to be found in many instances the
sole record of the fiicts thereon inscribed. The use made of the
inscriptions now in the Library shows how highly the work of the
transcribers is valued.
The Committee again urges that this work be kept in mind, and
that it be undertaken either in co5peration or by individuals in the
many localities where the inscriptions are still unrecorded and subject
to destruction.
The Report of the Committee on Collection of Records, by
David Floyd, Chairman :
The Committee on Collection of Records begs leave to report that
«ixty-one manuscripts have been added to the Library of the Society
during the year 1912. These manuscripts consist of church, ceme-
tery, and vital records, family genealogies, Bible records, orderly
and account books.
In the new building there is a vault 15 feet wide, 40 feet long,
and 21 feet high, for the storage of manuscripts and rare books.
The Committee urges all those who have compiled family histories
XZiy N. E. HI8TOBIO GENEALOGIGAL 80GIETT
which they do not intend to publish to send copies of the same to
the Society for preservation in its Library. The Society will also
be glad to accept any manuscripts of a genealogical nature.
The Report of the Committee on Increase of Membebship, bj
George Walter Chamberlain, M.S., Chairman :
The Committee on Increase of Membership submits the following
report for the year 1912 :
Cooperation has been our aim. To the end that the Sodetf
might receive an increase from persons of dean character and of
strong genealogical interests, a large number of enthusiastic man-
bers was added to this Committee to select from a wide circle of
acquaintances a highly honorable and helpful membership. Ihe
results surpassed those of 1911, when one himdrcd and eleven new
members were added to the membership of the Society. During
1912 one hundred and thirty-nine persons have accepted mem-
bership— an increase of twenty-eight over the preceding year.
From the first the growth of the Society has been slow, because
a majority of the early members were well-advanced in years be-
fore accepting membership, and consequently the losses by deatli
have been large each year.
During the year 1912 the deaths of forty members have been
reported, thirteen members have resigned, and ten have been dropped
from the membership enrolment, leaving a net increase of sevei^-
six members for 1912. The total membership of the Society is now
twelve hundred and nine — the largest enrolment in its history.
With our magnificent library equipment, containing the largest
genealogical collections to be found in America, we ought to doable
our present membership within ten years. We can oflTer much to
people possessing character and culture — much that cannot else-
where be found.
XXvi N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETT
primarily for non-members, does not haye direct access to the book-
stack, and is practically under the continuous observation of the
attendant in charge. This arrangement of the reading-rooms, to-
gether with the surveillance by the attendant, will prevent the
usurpation of membership privileges, so frequently attempted in the
old building, and also will tend to lessen the marking of books by
that large class of persons who seem to feel it a duty freely to anno-
tate or correct books which they do not own, without the conscflt
of the owner and without regard for the laws of the Commonweakh
which prohibit such mai^dng. A proper limitation of the number
of books in use at a time by a reader will also tend to reduce tke
rough usage of books and the consequent cost of rebinding« A much
larger number of books, newspapers^ and manuscripts is now aooet-
sible to members without the assistance of an attendant. TheK
increased facilities for members, with the consequent nuirked db-
tinction between the privileges of members and non^members wfaich
is likely to prevail hereafter, now that it is possible to enforce wmm
iiiUy the rules which were established years ago for the adminirtn-
tion of the Library, ought to be productive of a substantial incrsHe
in the membership.
The type of metal book-stack chosen is especially adapted to ife
peculiar requirements of this Libraiy, and wide aisles between tke
ranges permit comfortable access to the books. Only one-third of
the total stack space has been utilized, yet this will be sufficient for
the present for all of the Society's books relating to genealogy and
kindred subjects. An abundance of light is admitted on three Mm
of the building through many large and small windows. All interior
and exterior door and window openings in the Library are protected
against fire from the outside by approved types of modem standard
devices. The Library floor is a monolith with but two openings,
the two stair-halls, and these are enclosed with incombustible parti-
tions and equipped with metal doors.
The Librarian again recommends that the I^rary be liodted
closely to its main purpose — New England genealogy in a broad
interpretation — and that donations offered outside of its scope be
sent to more appropriate places. If this is done, the new buildiif
will be sufficient for many years.
The total accessions for the year number 464 volumes, 757
pamphlets, and 157 miscellaneous articles. Of these, 233 volumes,
239 pamphlets, and 8 miscellaneous articles were purchased ; 188
volumes, 514 pamphlets, and 149 miscellaneous articles were given;
and 43 volumes and 4 pamphlets were received in exchange. These
accessions added to the estimated number in the Library as reported
last year give 37,481 volumes and 36,251 pamphlets as t^ apJnoI^
mate number in the Library on December 31, 1912.
Two hundred and thirty-six genealogies were acquired during die
year.

last fifteen years he has devoted to the care of trust property and the
management of real estate, and latterly has had his nephew, H.

Hew England Trust Company of Boston and of the Real Estate
£zchange, and president of the Edwards Manufiicturing Company,
