John Farmer`s original continuous text has been found by many genealogists to be quite cumbersome, not easy to follow with his constant use of abbreviations, and in places almost impossible to interpret. Over the past 18 months I have painstakingly sifted through Farmer`s condensed text, editing, rearranging, and reformating in the hopes of aiding researchers in their quest for family histories.

I cannot guarantee that my interpretations are correct, so like any professional genealogist using resource materials, I would suggest that other sources be used in your search for exactness.

ARTHUR ABBOT, Marblehead, perhaps removed to Ipswich, joined Winthrop 1634, in the settlement of that town, was living in 1671, and probably died before 1679. We know of issue, only Philip Abbot, whose descendants have tradition that he came from Totness in County Devon, where he left good estate of which for several years after migration, the income was enjoyed by him.

ARTHUR ABBOT, Ipswich, perhaps son of the preceding, in 1671 made freeman, then called junior and, in 1674, 35 years old; by wife Elizabeth, who died 17 February 1738, aged 90, had Elizabeth, born 6 June 1686, and probably other children of who only Moses (father of Reverend Hull of Charlestown), and Arthur of Ipswich, and Susanna, are named with probably evidence. He died before his wife.

BENJAMIN ABBOT, Andover, son of the first George Abbot of the same, married 22 April 1685, Sarah Farnum, eldest daughter of Ralph Farnum of the same, had Benjamin, born 11 July 1686; Jonathan, September 1687; David, 29 January 1689; and Samuel, 19 May 1694; and died 30 March 1703.

DANIEL ABBOT, Cambridge, came, probably in the fleet with Winthrop 1630, required administration as freeman 19 October of that year, and was recorded 18 May following, at the same Court was fined 5 shares for refusing to watch etc. Removed about 1639 to Providence, there died about 1650.

DANIEL ABBOT, Providence, perhaps son of the preceding, took oath of allegiance 1668 to the King, did not remove during Philip's war, and may have been the town clerk there 1680.

DANIEL ABBOT, Branford, son of Robert Abbot of the same, had Joseph, and probably Stephen, and Hannah.

EBENEZER ABBOT, Andover, youngest son of the first Thomas Abbot of the same, married Elizabeth Tucker, had Sarah, born 7 June 1717; Elizabeth, 6 May 1719; Ebenezer, 6 September 1721; John, 28 February 1723; Philip, 11 September 1720; Thomas, 28 May 1728, died young; Sarah, again, 15 July 1730; Thomas, again, 22 February 1733; Samuel, 16 June 1736; and Benjamin, 26 January 1738. His wife died April 1743, and he married Mary Ingalls.

GEORGE ABBOT, Rowley, brought from England, sons George, Nehemiah, and Thomas, and died 1647.

GEORGE ABBOT, Windsor 1640, fined for selling to an Indian a pistol and powder; probably was after at Norwalk among early settlers 1600, had there two wives of which the latter was Joanna, and he outlived her 8 years, but the children mentioned in his will of 2 May 1689, probated 11 March following, were by the former. They were Dorothy, wife of a Root; Priscilla, wife of a Clason; George, born about 1669; Daniel, about 1672, living 1709, yet not known to have issue; Mary, married after death of her father, a Jackson; John; and Jonathan.

GEORGE ABBOT, Andover, 1643, had been some years at Roxbury, married 12 December 1646, a maiden said, in reasonable tradition to have come in the same ship with him, Hannah Chandler (called Mary on town record of Roxbury), daughter of William Chandler of Roxbury, had John, born 2 March 1648; Joseph, 11 March 1649, died next year 24 June, the first death on record of Andover (where he is called son of Henry by mistake); Hannah, 9 June 1650; Joseph, again, 30 March 1652, who was killed by the Indians 8 April 1676, the earliest victim of the war in that town; George, 7 June 1655; William, 18 November 1657; Sarah, 14 November 1652; Benjamin, 20 December 1661; Timothy, 17 November 1663; Thomas, 6 May 1666; Edward, died young; Nathaniel, 4 July 1671; and Elizabeth, 9 February 1673. He died 24 December 1661; and his widow married Reverend Francis Dane, as his third wife outlived him, and died 11 June 1711, aged 82. Hannah, married 20 December 1676, John Chandler; Sarah, married 11 October 1680, Ephraim Stevens; and Elizabeth married 24 November 1692, Nathan Stevens. His son Benjamin was afflicted by Elizabeth Johnson, a witch, as she confessed in 1692; and she implicated goody Currier in the diabolical work. Yet the nature or degree of the affliction is nowhere shown. Currier was executed on account of other charges. The confession of the nonsense, which probably was the cause of Johnson's impunity is seen in 3 Massachusetts History Collections I. 124. Of this first George of Andover, said to have come from Yorkshire, descendants are very numerous of which forty-four with the family name, besides forty-nine others through female Abbots, had been graduates at some colleges in 1844. Seven sons and three daughters married and resided at Andover, while of 73 grandchildren, five settled at Concord, New Hampshire, four went to Connecticut and two lived at Billerica. Of seven farms, on which his sons lived, four were occupied by descendants in our day.

GEORGE ABBOT, Andover, son of George Abbot of Rowley, born in England, married 26 April 1658, Sarah Farnum, perhaps sister of Ralph Arnum of Andover, had George, born 28 January following; Sarah, 6 September 1660; John, 26 August 1662; Mary, 29 March 1664; Nehemiah, 20 July 1667; Hannah, 20 September 1668; Mehitable, 17 February 1671, died young; Lydia, 29 September 1675; Samuel, 30 May 1678; and Mehitable, again, 4 April 1680.

His wife died May 1706; and he had second wife Hannah Easty.

GEORGE ABBOT, Norwalk, son of George Abbot of the same, by wife Hannah, it is said, had George, Samuel, Ebenezer, Benjamin, Israel, Hannah, and Elizabeth. Success did not attend the diligent inquiry of Hall in finding dates for the children or whether the father had not removed from Norwalk.

JOHN ABBOT, Andover, eldest son of George Abbot the first of the same, married 17 November 1673, Sarah Barker, eldest daughter of Richard Barker of the same, had John, born 2 November 1674; Joseph, 29 December 1676; Stephen, 16 March 1678; Sarah, 7 December 1680; Ephraim, 15 August 1682; Joshua, 16 June 1685; Mary, 2 January 1687; Ebenezer, 27 September 1689; and Priscilla, 7 July 1691; was selectman, Deacon, and died 19 March 1721. His widow died 10 February 1729.

JOHN ABBOT, aged 16, and Mary, 16, came in the Hopewell, Captain Bundocke, from London, 1635; but whose children they were is unknown, and probably not of any residence in our country.

JOHN ABBOT, Saco, administered an inhabitant of that town 12 June 1680, and Ensign, then chosen town clerk before which time the plantation had been so much disturbed by Indian wars, that Folsom, in his valuable History 177, says, the records are lost.

JOHN ABBOT, Norwalk 1687, wheelwright, son of George Abbot of the same, by wife Ruth, it is said, had John, Esther, and Mary.

JOHN ABBOT, Sudbury, son of George Abbot the second of Andover, by wife Jemima, had Jemima, born 10 October 1699; John, 3 October 1701; Sarah, 10 September 1704; Mary; and Hannah; removed to Watertown, there was a millwright, and died 24 March 1718. His widow married John Beeks.

JOSEPH ABBOT, Marblehead, son of the first Thomas Abbot of Andover, by wife Sarah, had Susanna, baptized Auugust 1701; Joseph; Sarah; Ann, and Hannah.

NATHANIEL ABBOT, Andover, youngest son of George Abbot the first of the same, married 22 October 1695, Dorcas Hibbert, probably daughter of Rober Hibbertt of Beverly, had Nathaniel, born 1696; Mary, 8 February 1698; a son born 20 June 1700, died same day; Joseph, 2 February 1705; Tabitha, about 1707; Jeremiah, 4 Nov1709; Joshua,1711; Sarah; Hannah; Elizabeth, and Rebecca, 1717. His wife died 7 February 1743, and he died 1 December 1749.

NATHANIEL ABBOT, perhaps of Ashford, son of the first Thomas Abbot of Andover, married 1710 Mercy Hutchinson of Ashford, had Nathaniel, born 1714; and no more is told of him.

NEHEMIAH ABBOT, Ipswich, son of George Abbot of Rowley, was brought by his father from England, freeman in Massachusetts 1669, Deacon at Topsfield 1686, died March 1707, leaving only son Nehemiah.

NEHEMIAH ABBOT, Topsfield, son of the preceding, married 21 January 1630, Remember Fiske, daughter of John Fiske of Wenham, had John, born 9 April 1691; Nehemiah, 19 October 1692; Sarah; Mary; and Mehitable, 17 October 1700. Though arrested on a warrant with several other innocent persons, in April 1692, for witchcraft, he escaped procedure perhaps as not old enough for the devil's prey. His wife died 12 July 1703, and he died 1736.

NEHEMIAH ABBOT, Andover, son of George Abbot the second of the same, married 1691 Abigail Lovejoy, probably youngest daughter of John Lovejoy the first of the same, had Nehemiah, born 19 January 1692; Abiel, 10 August 1693; Zebadiah, 6 April 1695; John, 31 October 1697; Abigail, 30 September 1699; Mary, 24 March 1701; and Joseph, which all but one of the seven died young.

PETER ABBOT, Fairfield, son of Robert Abbot, killed his wife Elizabeth Evarts, daughter of John Evarts, and attempted to kill Hannah, his only child. For which 16 October 1667 he was executed, though it may hardly be doubted that he was insane, as he had been several years before as at Branford, in 1658, whither he went to help his father and was taken the first day with insanity. See New Haven Colony record II. 300.

PHILIP ABBOT, Ipswich, son of Arthur Abbot of the same, by wife Mary, had Arthur, born 3 February 1694; Frances, 18 May 1696; Susanna; and Mary, 26 July 1701. His widow died 11 January 1730, but the date of his death is not seen.

RICHARD ABBOT, Kittery 1663, was keeper of the prison in New Hampshire 1684, as in Farmer's Ed. of Belknap I. 485, appears.

ROBERT ABBOT, Watertown, freeman 3 September 1634, when Colony record gives the name Abbitt, was of Wethersfield 1640, and New Haven 1642, where John, his son born many months before, was baptized 7 October 1649; Abigail, born 2 October 1649, and Robert, brought from Branford, where the father lived, baptized 1 June 1651; Joseph, born 20 April 1652; Benjamin, 10 January 1654, died soon; Daniel, 12 February 1655, and Mary, 13 May 1657; besides other children before 1649, as Peter, before mentioned; Sarah, who married Matthew Rowe; and Deborah. He died September 1658; and his widow Mary married 4 November 1659, John Robins; and Deborah married 1661, Nathan Andrews. His land was in that part, called East Haven; and about 1649 he removed to Branford. His estate was distributed 1660, in small portions to children Peter, Deborah, John, Daniel, Abigail, and Mary. His son Robert had died 30 September 1658, it is said; but Joseph was alive, and perhaps provided for otherwise, as by several years of living with his mother, Matthew Rowe had the part of his wife, though this fact may not certain ,show that his wife was dead. An Elizabeth Abbot who married at Guilford 3 March 1654, Gabriel Harris of New London is, by the author of the History of that city, in her page 86, thought to have been another of the daughters. But the suggestion is embarrassing with obstinate difficulty and contradiction, whelm the tradition in self-destruction.

SAMUEL ABBOT, Sudbury, youngest son of George Abbot the second of Andover, grandson of George Abbot of Rowley, by wife Joyce, had Joyce, born 18 August 1706; Martha, 10 March 1712; Samuel, 21 August 1716; and George.

THOMAS ABBOT, Rowley, presumed to be youngest son of George Abbot of the same, born in England, is said to have married, but died without issue 7 September 1659.

THOMAS ABBOT, Andover, whose father is not known, may have come later from England, than others of the name, or been born here, married 15 December 1664, Sarah Steward, whose father is not named, had Joseph, born 16 March 1666, died next year; Thomas, 1668; Sarah, 8 January 1671; Joseph, again, 16 August 1674; Dorothy, 2 January 1676, died at 2 years; Nathaniel, 9 January 1678; John, October 1681; Dorothy, again; Mary, 22 July 1686; and Ebenezer, 23 November 1690. He was a Captain and died 6 May 1695; and his widow died February 1716. Sarah married 26 November 1691, Joseph Chandler; and Dorothy married 1710, one with so strange a name, as Braviter Gray.

THOMAS ABBOT, Kittery, perhaps son of Richard Abbot of the same, was Ensign 1688.

THOMAS ABBOT, Andover, son of George Abbot the first of the same, married 7 December 1697, Hannah Gray, probably not daughter of Robert Gray of the same, had Hannah, born 10 September 1700; Edward, 9 June 1702; Deborah, 1 December 1704; George, 7 November 1706; Zebadiah, 25 January 1709; Benjamin and Catharine, twins 31 March 1711 ; Aaron, 8 August 1714; and Isaac, 24 February 1717; and died 28 April 1728. His widow died 1763, aged 89.

THOMAS ABBOT, Andover, son of Thomas Abbot the first of the same, married January 1707, Elizabeth French, had only Thomas, who died 9 March 1729; and of the father no more is told.

TIMOTHY ABBOT, Andover, son of George Abbot the first of the same, taken by the Indians when 12 years old, and held several months 1676, married 27 December 1689, Hannah Graves, daughter of Mark Graves of Andover, had Timothy, born 1 July 1693; Hannah, 19 October 1695; and Dorcas, 6 May 1698. His wife died 5 November 1726, and he died 9 September 1730.

WALTER ABBOT, Exeter 1640, a vintner, died January 1667, leaving wife Sarah, who married Henry Sherburne, and children Peter, William, Walter, John, Elizabeth, and another daughter who married a Wills, and grandchildren Thomas, Joseph, and Sarah Willson. Possibly John Abbot of Saco, the Ensign 1680, and Thomas Abbot of Kittery, the Ensign 1680, were son and grandson of this man.

WILLIAM ABBOT, Andover, son of George Abbot the first of Andover, married 19 June 1682, Elizabeth Geary, daughter of Nathaniel Geary of Roxbury, had Elizabeth, born 29 April 1683; William, 17 March 1685; George, 19 March 1687, died at 2 years; Ezra, 7 July 1689; George, again, 22 December 1691, died soon; Nathan, 10 December 1692; James, 12 February 1695; Paul, 28 March 1697; Philip, 3 April 1699; Hannah, about April 1701; Caleb, 1704; and Zebadiah, 1706. His wife died December 1712, and he died 24 October following. From the Abbots' Genealogical Registrar published 1847, great assistance has been obtained and in it very few errors been detected.

JOHN ABBY, JOHN ABBEY, or JOHN ABBEE, Salem 1637, when grant of land was made to him, of Reading later, and freeman 1685, then called senior, so that perhaps he had son of the same name, and very probably is it, that he had others.

JOHN ABBY, JOHN ABBEY, or JOHN ABBEE, Wenham, an early settler, died late in life, 1700, leaving widow Hannah, and children Richard, born 9 February 1683; probably others.

OBADIAH ABBY, OBADIAH ABBEY, or OBADIAH ABBEE Enfield, 1682, married Sarah, widow of Joseph Warriner, to whom she was second wife, had no child to be named in his will, 1752, the year he died.

His widow married Abraham Mitchell. He was of Salem village now Danvers, when administered freeman 1690. Only the youngest child was born at Wenham, and some discrepancy from the probated record as to the ages of most of the children is furnished me (by Mr. Felt) in the records of birth, as that Ebenezer was born 31 July 1683 ; Mary, 1 March 1685 ; Sarah, 6 July 1686; Hepzibah, 14 February 1689; Abigail, 19 November 1690; John, 4 June 1692; and Benjamin, 4 June 1694.

THOMAS ABBY, THOMAS ABBEY, or THOMAS ABBEE, Enfield, perhaps brother of Obadiah Abby, had Sarah, born 31 March 1684; Thomas, 1686; Mary, 3 February 1689, who died before her father, and John 1692; besides Tabitha. He died 1728, leaving wife Sarah, and in his will of December 1720, she and the two sons are named, as also two daughters called Sarah Geer and Abigail Warner. His son Thomas had sons Obadiah, and Thomas; and John had John, Thomas, Daniel, and Richard; but probably no grandchildren ought here to be inserted.

MATTHEW ABEY, Boston, came in the Abigail, 1635, from London, was a fisherman; by wife Tabitha Reynolds, daughter of Robert Reynolds of Boston, who died 1661, had Mary, born 24 May 1648; and Tabitha, 24 November 1652; besides Matthew, named in the will of his grandfather Reynolds Abey. He next married 24 May 1662, Alice Cox, perhaps daughter of Moses Cox of Hampton. His son following the same trade, was so poor, that the petty bequests in his will are hardly to be thought unfairly caricature in the humorous poem by Reverend John Seccombe, with the title of Father Abby's will, of which in the admirable Cyclopedia of American Literature, by Duyckincks, Volume I. 126, is extracted.

CALEB ABELL, Dedham, 1665, may have been son of the preceding, removed 1668, to Norwich, there married July 1669 Margaret Post, probably daughter of John Post of Saybrook, had a daughter born 1671, died soon, Samuel, October 1672; Experience, December 1674; Caleb, April 1677; John, December 1678; Theophilus, November 1680; Joanna, November 1683; Abigail, March 1689; and Hannah, October 1692. His wife died November 1700, and he married 1701, Mary, widow of Stephen Loomer of New London, who survived him. He died 17 August 1731.

JOSHUA ABELL, Norwich, perhaps brother of the preceding, married 1 November 1677, Experience Smith, daughter of Nehemiah Smith of New London, and perhaps had second wife, daughter of John Gager.

PRESERVED ABELL, Rehoboth, 1668, had Dorothy, born 16 November 1677; Joanna, 11 January 1682; was Lieutenant of the Company under Samuel Gallop in the romantic expedition of Sir William Phips, 1690, against Quebec.

ROBERT ABELL, Weymouth, came, probably in the fleet with Winthrop, desired administration 19 October 1630, and was made freeman 18 May following, had Abraham, buried 14 November 1639; Mary, born 11 April 1642; removed next year to Rehoboth, there died August 1663, leaving widow and four more children besides Mary.

WILLIAM ABERNETHY, Wallingford, married 1673 or 4, Sarah Doolittle, daughter of William Doolittle, had William, and Samuel, and died 1718, when his two sons administered on his estate. Early this name was written Ebenetha, or Abbenatha, according to Hinman; but in modern days the descendants use the spelling here given.

HENRY ACRERLY, HENRY ACCORLEY, or HENRY ACRELY, New Haven 1640, Stamford 1641 to 53, Greenwich 1656, died at Stamford 17 June 1668, which is the date of his will. His widow Ann, was 75 years old in 1662. Haz. II. 246.

ROBERT ACRERLY, ROBERT ACCORLEY, or ROBERT ACRELY, Brookhaven, Long Island, 1655, administered freeman of Connecticut jurisdiction 1664. See Trumbull, Colony record I. 341,428.

SAMUEL ACRERLY, SAMUEL ACCORLEY, or SAMUEL ACRELY, Brookhaven, 1655, perhaps brother of the preceding.

JOHN ACKLEY, or ACLY, Haddam, brother of the preceding, married 23 May 1699, Rebecca Spencer, eldest daughter of John Spencer, was Sergeant, and died 25 August 1736, leaving son John to administer his estate.

NICHOLAS ACKLEY, or ACLY, Hartford 1655, removed as early settler to Haddam, and died 29 April 1695, leaving widow Miriam, and children John; Thomas; Nathaniel, who died 27 February 1710, perhaps unmarried; Samuel; James; Hannah; Elizabeth; Mary; Sarah, who married William Spencer; and Lydia; but it is believed all the children were by a former wife.

SAMUEL ACKLEY, or ACLY, Haddam, son of the preceding, by wife Bethia, had Samuel, born 8 December 1703, baptized with father and mother 6 October 1706; Jerusha, 29 March baptized 4 May 1707; Deborah, 11 July, baptized 14 August 1709; Lydia, 14 August baptized 30 September 1711; Simeon, 10 January baptized 21 February 1714; Stephen, 25 July, baptized 26 August 1716; Elijah, 28 March baptized 3 May 1719; Isaac, 6, baptized 8 October 1721; Bezaleel, 4 February baptized 8 March 1724; and Nathaniel, 14 June, baptized 17 July 1726.

JOHN ACRES, often JOHN ACKERMAN, Boston 1656, lived at that part called Muddy river, now Brookline, married probably before 1664, Desiretruth Thorne, daughter of William Thorne of Boston, had baptized at Roxbury, where his wife joined the church 8 July 1666, Elizabeth and Desiretruth, perhaps not twins on 15 July 1666, of which one, at least, died soon; Elizabeth, 22 November 1668; Deborah, 26 February 1671; John, 10 August 1673; William, 29 June 1679; and Mary, 20 May 1683; but this last was born after he had removed to Dunstable, so that she may have been older, when baptized, than the others. At Dunstable he had also Joanna.

WILLIAM ACY, or WILLIAM ACIE, Rowley 1643, after at Boston, where he had Joseph, baptized at first church 28 June 1657, went again to Rowley, there was living 1677.

ABRAHAM ADAMS, Boston, cooper, perhaps son of Nathaniel Adams of Weymouth, had lived at Falmouth, where before 1667 he married Sarah Macworth, daughter of Arthur Macworth, and from his widow had gift of an island in Casco Bay. Willis, I. 75. Later in life he was an innholder, and one of that band of volunteers who took, October 1689, a piratical vessel, in the Vineyard Sound, after some resistance and brought her into Boston. His wife was Abigail, daughter of Nicholas Wilmot, who in his will of 27 September 1684, provides for her share of his estate. From the will of Adams, made 6, probated 18 April 1700, we learn, that he had by a former wife, i. e. Macworth's daughter, two daughters Sarah Grant and Jane Snelling, and by wife Abigail, made executrix, had Zechariah, Samuel, Abraham, Mary, Abigail, and Elizabeth.

ABRAHAM ADAMS, Newbury, eldest son of Robert Adams, married 16 November 1670, Mary Pettingell, daughter of Richard Pettingell of the same, had Mary, born 16 January 1672; Robert, 12 May 1674; Abraham, 6 May 1676; Isaac, 26 February 1679; Sarah, 13 April 1681; John, 7 March 1684; Matthew, 25 May 1686; Israel, 25 December 1688; Dorothy, 25 October 1691; and Richard, 22 November 1693. His wife died 19 September 1705; and he died 12 December 1714.

ALEXANDER ADAMS, Boston, a shipwright, freeman 1618, Artillery Company 1652, married as is said, Mary Coffin, sister of Tristram Coffin the first, had Mary, born 19, baptized 25 January 1646; removed to Dorchester, there had Susanna, 14 May 1648; John, 26 February 1653; and Samuel, 7 May 1656; besides Elizabeth, who married William Parkman.

ANDREW ADAMS, Hartford 1643, then employed as Hinman, 12, tells, in place of school master.

CHARLES ADAMS, Dover 1648, living in 1669 in that part, called Oyster River, was of the grand jury 1688; had wife Temperance, sons Charles, and perhaps John; and was killed by the Indians 1694. Evidence is recorded 1712, to prove, that he possessed lands there "about sixty years".

CHARLES ADAMS, Dover, son of the preceding, had Charles, born 1668; Sarah, 1671.

CHRISTOPHER ADAMS, Braintree, a petitioner with many others, in 1645, for a plantation on the land of Pumham. He removed East and had fine estate at Kittery, where in his will in Suffolk, Reg. X. 105 of 13 June 1686, probated 21 September 1687, more than eight months after his death, by Governor Andros, he names wife Margaret, and four children John, Mark, Ann, and Mary, besides cousin Isaac Goodwright, to whom are given two cows.

DANIEL ADAMS, Simsbury, 1683, married probably in 1687, Mary Pinney, daughter of Samuel Pinney of the same, had Mary, baptized 16 January 1698; Thankful, 10 April following, and other children perhaps before and after, certainly Ephraim, 25 May 1701; besides Daniel, Samuel, Benjamin, Joseph, and Thomas; and died 1713, aged 61.

EDWARD ADAMS, New Haven 1640, Milford 1646, and Fairfield 1650, by his will of 7 August 1671, gave estate to wife Margaret, children Samuel; Abraham; Mary Merwin, who was born about 1647; Nathaniel; John; and Nathan. John and Nathaniel died without issue.

EDWARD ADAMS, Windsor, married 25 May 1660, Elizabeth Buckland, daughter perhaps of Thomas Buckland, had, says Stiles, Edward, who died before his father, and Mary, 6 August 1671, who married John Matson, as Porter tells me.

EDWARD ADAMS, Medfield, son of Henry Adams the first, born in England, freeman 1654, by wife Lydia, had Lydia, born 12 July 1653; Jonathan, 4 April 1655; John, 18 February 1657; Eliashib, 18 February 1659; Sarah, 23 May 1660; James, January 1662; Henry, 29 October 1663; Mehitable, 20 March 1665; Elisha, 25 August 1666 died next month; Edward, 28 June 1668; Bethia, 12 April 1671, died in few days; Bethia, again, 18 August 1672, died in few days; Abigail, 25 January 1675; and Miriam 26 February 1676; both died soon. He was much employed in public duties, Ensign, selectman for many years, Representative in the two first General Courts 1689, after overthrow of Andros, and died 12 November 1716. His wife had died 3 March 1676; but he had second wife whose name is not seen. His will of 19 May 1715, probated 3 December 1716, in our reg. XIX. 225, takes notice that his wife was provided for before their marriage, and that his sons Jonathan, and John were, formerly, supplied by him with lands, and Edward with moveable and money, directs now, that his property be divided in nine equal parts, where of the children of his son Eliashib, deceased, to have two, James, and Henry, each two, and his daughters Lydia Daniel, Sarah Turner, and Mehitable Faxon, each one.

EDWARD ADAMS, Windsor, married 25 May 1660, Elizabeth Buckland, daughter of Thomas Buckland, and died 15 August 1683, leaving only child Mary, born 28 August 1671.

ELEAZER ADAMS, Medfield, eldest son of the first Henry Adams of the name, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 1672; and Eleazer, 1673.

ELIASHIB ADAMS, Bristol, son of Edward Adams of Medfield, was unmarried February 1689.

FERDINANDO ADAMS, Dedham, 1637, a shoemaker from London, freeman 13 May 1640, by wife Ann, had Abigail, born 15 September 1638; Bethia, 10 June 1640; and Nathaniel, 16 March 1643. In August 1641 he had leave to go home on business; but if he went, he came back next year. Worthington, 103. Again he went home, and, in October 1651, by his attorney sold estate at Dedham.

GEORGE ADAMS, Branford, married 5 September 1657, Mary, widow of Lesley Bradfield, I presume, as second wife, and died probably 1675. His will of 1670 names wife and son John only, but this son was by former wife it may be supposed, for he made his will 10 October 1677, and died that year giving his property to Noah Rogers and others, having no near relations.

GEORGE ADAMS, Watertown, by wife Frances, had John, born 6 August 1645; George, 1647; Daniel; Joseph, 6 March 1657; and Mary; removed to Cambridge farms, now Lexington, and died 10 October 1696.

GEORGE ADAMS, Cambridge, that part now Lexington, son of the preceding, married 20 January 1684, Martha Fiske, daughter of John Fiske of Watertown, had George, born 28 April 1685; Martha, 10 January 1687; John, 2 September 1688; of which three, the Watertown church record at various times, shows the baptized Nathaniel; Sarah; both baptized 12 June 1698 at Watertown; Benjamin, born 20 December 1701; and Bond thinks there may have, also, been Abigail, and Ann.

HENRY ADAMS, Braintree, came early to our country, and tradition says from Braintree, in County Essex in 1632, but widely diverse is the origin by another tradition, had grant in February 1641, of 40 acres by vote of Boston, of which Braintree was part, i. e. the portion for ten heads. Perhaps he was the first clerk of the town, after separating from Boston, though more likely is it that his son of the same name had the honor; and he died or was buried 8 October 1646, leaving by tradition eight sons, yet only five are named in his will 1646, probated 8 June 1647, where appear Peter, John, Joseph, Edward, Samuel, and daughter Ursula. Of this daughter, as tradition took no notice, it may be that the number eight applied to son, means in truth children seven sons and one daughter but names enough for the sons may be seen, and certainly one son good, if not two, beyond the deviees in the will, as Henry, Thomas, Jonathan, in some reports called William. The inscription on the monument erected by his descendant, John Adams, second President of the United States exhibits the popular story with characteristic strength: “In memory of Henry Adams who took his flight from the Dragon persecution, in Devonshire, England, and alighted with eight sons, near Mt. Wollaston. One of the sons returned to England and, after taking some time to explore the country, four removed to Medfield and the neighboring towns, two to Chelmsford. One only, Joseph, who lies here at his left hand, remain, here; which was an original property in the township of Braintree, incorporated 1639."

HENRY ADAMS, Braintree, son of the preceding, born in England about 1604 as is thought, may, rather than his father be regarded as the town clerk of 1640, married 17 November 1643, Elizabeth Paine, daughter of Moses Paine, had Eleazer, born 5 August 1644; Jasper, 23 June 1647; removed to that part of Dedham, which became Medfield, of which also he was first town clerk there; had Elizabeth, 11 November 1649; John and Henry, twins 14 July 1652; Moses, 26 October 1654; Henry, again, 19 November 1657; and Samuel, 10 December 1661, who died young. He was of Artillery Company 1652, Representative 1659, 65, 74 and 5, the Lieutenant killed by the Indians 21 February 1676, at his own door, as mentioned by Increase Mather in history of Philip's war. His wife was mortally wounded the same night, at the house of Reverend Mr. Wilson, though she lived a week.

HENRY ADAMS, Boston, married 10 May 1660, Mary Pitty, daughter of William Pitty of Weymouth.

HENRY ADAMS, Medfield, probably son of Edward Adams of the same, married 10 December 1691, Patience Ellis, daughter of Thomas Ellis.

JACOB ADAMS, Newbury, son of Robert Adams of the same, married 7 April 1677, Ann Allen, or Ann Ellen, had Dorothy, born 26 June 1679; Rebecca, 26 August 1680; removed to Suffield, married there, had several children in his will, besides the two born at Newbury, named Jacob; Daniel; Abraham, 10 November 1687; John; Ann; Elizabeth, 16 August 1692; and Sarah. Some of them, however, had perhaps been born in a neighboring town. He was Representative for Suffield 1711, 14, and 17, in November of which last, he died at the Court in Boston.

JAMES ADAMS, Plymouth, son of John Adams of the same, who was of the first comers, went, 1643, to Marshfield, soon after to Scituate, there married 16 July 1646, Frances Vassall, daughter of William Vassall, had William, born 16 May 1647; Ann, 18 April 1649; Richard, 19 April 1651, died soon; Mary, 27 January 1653; and Margaret, 1654; all baptized at the Second Church of Scituate, Deane says, besides Martha, who married 1678, Benjamin Pierce. On board the James of Plymouth one James Adams, not probably this man, died 19 January 1603, of who Kenelm Winslow was made Admiral.

JEREMY ADAMS, Braintree, perhaps 1632, removed soon to Cambridge, then called Newtown, freeman 6 May 1635, removed next year to Hartford, had three wives of who the first is unknown by name, by her he had Samuel, born it is said 1643, baptized certainly 23 November 1645; and perhaps more. His second wife Rebecca, widow of Samuel Greenhill, died 1678, and by her he had other children, probably Ann, who married Robert Sanford; Elinor, who married Nathaniel Willet; and John, unless one or two were by former wife Rebecca Fletcher, widow of the second Andrew Warner, and daughter of John Fletcher, was his third wife. He long kept the ordinary, and died 11 August 1683, in his will, made seven days before he divided his estate, half to children of son John, and half to those of daughter Willet. His widow was 77 years old at her death 25 June 1715, and, no doubt, had provisions from the estate.

JOHN ADAMS, Plymouth, one of the first comers, arriving in the Fortune, 9 November 1621, married Ellen Newton or Elinor Newton, as the sagacity of Judge Davis presumed, for she came in the Ann, 1623, and was probably the only female Newton of Chesapeake Bay with such baptized name. He died 1633, leaving wife and children James, John, and Susanna; and the record 24 October of that year shows deceased’s estate for that day. The widow married June following, Kenelm Winslow.

JOHN ADAMS, Cambridge, brought from England wife Ann, and daughter Rebecca, baptized before says Mitchell's Reg. when he adds five of the other children baptized in his church in right of the mother for the father did not join before 13 May 1666, viz. Mary, born 25 October 1652; John, 1 May 1655; and Joseph; but the "matchless" registrar does not mention the day or days of baptism, though our thanks are hearty for his care to name Hannah, born 8 August 1657, baptized 17 June 1660; and Daniel, 14 September 1652. But Hannah died early in 1661, 25 January according to Mitchell, 25 February by Harris Epit. 169; and Daniel, died 14 May 1685. another Daniel had preceding him, but lived not, I presume, long enough to be baptized. He was a millwright, and Dr. Bond conjectured that he was son of George of Watertown, and when that was seen to be impossible, he supposed he was brother. So numberless are the shoots of this name, that I dare not follow even so judicious a leader in this expedition. That he was son of Henry the first, as amiable credulity would assume, is highly improble since he came twenty years or little less after that great New England progenitor, and so long outlived, him dying between June and October 1706, and his wife still living. Rebecca married 24 November 1669, Nathaniel Patten, and died 18 December 1677; Mary married John Eames of Watertown, and died 1681. Inconsistencies appear in the family genealogy as to birth of her and her brother John.

JOHN ADAMS, Chelmsford 1654, had been of Concord 1630, has been sometimes thought son of the first Henry Adams; but the conjectured is uncertain.

JOHN ADAMS, Marshfield, son perhaps of John Adams of Plymouth, married 27 December 1654, Jane James, and had Joseph, Martha, and perhaps other children.

JOHN ADAMS, Hartford, son probably eldest of Jeremy Adams of the same, had Rebecca, born August 1658; Abigail, February 1660; Sarah, March 1662; Jeremy, August 1664; John, September 1666; Jonathan, 6 November 1668; and died 1670, leaving widow in expectation of another child. Of the sons Jeremy went to Huntington; and John to Great Egg harbor. Both on Long Island.

JOHN ADAMS, Dover, 1662, was, perhaps, son of Charles Adams the first of the same.

JOHN ADAMS, Branford, son of George Adams of the same, by first wife, died 1677.

JOHN ADAMS, Windsor, married 6 December 1677, Abigail Pinney, daughter of Humphrey Pinney, had Mary; Abigail, born 8 July 1681; and John, 15 March 1683; all named in the will of their grandmother Pinney, who died 18 August 1684, as if the mother were dead. He was, probably brother of Daniel Adams, and removed to Simsbury.

JOHN ADAMS, Salem, by wife Sarah, had Elizabeth, born 20 October 1682; Sarah, 13 October 1684; Mary, 15 February 1688; John, 16 March 1690; Margaret, 11 February 1693, died next year; and Margaret, again, 8 March 1696.

JOHN ADAMS, Sudbury, married Hannah Bent, daughter of John Bent the second, had John, born 12 March 1684; Daniel, 1685; and Hannah, 1688.

JOHN ADAMS, Medfield, son of Henry Adams the second, had Samuel, born 1684; Mary, 1687; Patience, 1690 ; Ruth, 1691; Josiah, 1693; John, 1695; Isaac, 1697; Richard, 1699; Joshua, 1701; Abigail, 1702; Bethia, 1705; and Michael, 1707.

JOHN ADAMS, Medfield, son of Edward Adams of the same, by first wife Deborah, had Edward, born 1682; John, 1684; Daniel, 1686; Eleazer, 1687; besides Obadiah, and Jonathan, whose dates are not given, and by second wife Susanna, had Thomas, 1695; Susanna, 1697; Jeremiah, 1699; Abraham, 1701; Bethia, 1702; Phineas, 1705; Hannah, 1707; and Esther.

JOHN ADAMS, Boston, merchant, third son of Joseph Adams the first, by wife Hannah Webb, daughter of Christopher Webb, had Hannah, born 24 January 1685; John, 27 September 1687; both at Braintree; Samuel, 6 May 1689 (who by wife Mary was father of Samuel Adams, born 16 September 1722, Harvard College 1740, one of the chief promoters of the American Revolution 1765, and Governor of Massachusetts, who died 2 October 1802); and by second wife Hannah Checkley, daughter of Anthony Checkley, Esq., married 19 October 1694, had Joseph and Mary, twins 20 December 1695; Thomas, 29 March 1701; and Abijah, 11 May 1702. He died before 20 January 1712.

JONATHAN ADAMS, Medfield, called senior, when his inventory of 15 February 1692 was produced at Probate Court, had been thought son of the first Henry Adams, though no other circumstance is to be discerned in support of such assumption, than that Edward Adams of Medfield, who was a son of Henry Adams gave to his eldest son this name of Jonathan Adams. Scrutiny has been applied, and Vinton, 296, could find two wives Elizabeth and Mary, but mentioned no children.

JONATHAN ADAMS, Boston, blockmaker, of who I learn from his will, made 1 April 1707, probated 8 May next, that his wife was Rebecca Andrews, and that he had Samuel, eldest son, besides Jonathan, Nathaniel, and James, and four daughters Rebecca, Dorcas, Mary, and Lydia. His wife was daughter of James Andrews of Falmouth, driven up by the war.

JONATHAN ADAMS, Medfield, eldest son of Edward Adams of the same, married 20 March 1678, Mary Ellis, daughter probably of Thomas Ellis of the same; but my acquisition reached no further.

JOSEPH ADAMS, Braintree, perhaps youngest son of the first Henry Adams, born in England about 1626, was a maltster, freeman 1653 or 5, his name appearing on both years, as the wonderful carelessness of Secretary Rawson admits thirty, if not thirty-one (if we include Dwight), out of thirty-two of the earlier years to be reinserted two years later with the sole addition of one name at the top and one at the foot of the list, married 26 or 29 November 1650, Abigail Baxter (not Mary, as Alden has it), daughter of Gregory Baxter (not, as is given by Thayer, of John, who was her brother), had Hannah, born 13 November 1652; Joseph, 24 December 1654; John, 13 January 1657, or 11 February it being, uncertain whose date is preferred on the record (but as he died in few days the earlier may denote birth and the latter, death) Abigail, 27 February 1659; John and Bethia, twins 3 December 1661; Mary, 9 October 1663, died soon; Samuel, 6 September 1665; Mary, again, 25 February 1668; Peter, 7 February 1670; Jonathan, 31 January 1672; and Mehitable, baptized 24 November 1678, not as sometimes read 23 November which was Saturday. His wife died 27 August 1692; and he died 6 December 1694. Thayer's family memoirs in eleven pages furnished large enumeration of descendants. His eldest daughter married 10 April 1672, Samuel Savil; Abigail married John Bass junior; Bethia married 1680, John Webb; Mary married 16 December 1686, Samuel Webb; and Mehitable married 21 July 1697, Thomas White. His will, of 18 July 1694, gives no mention of sons Samuel or Jonathan, but provides for the others and the five daughters using the name of his for all but the last.

JOSEPH ADAMS, Braintree, eldest son of the preceding, married 20 February 1682, Mary Chapin, perhaps daughter of Josiah Chapin, had Mary, born 6 February following, and Abigail, 17 February 1684. This wife died 14 June 1687, and he next married Hannah Bass, daughter of John Bass, by whom he had Joseph Adams, 1 January 1690, Harvard College 1710, minister of Newington from 16 November 1715 to his death 26 May 1783; John Adams, 8 February 1692, the Deacon who died 25 May 1761, and was (by Susanna Boylston, daughter of Peter Boylston) father of John Adam, second President of the United States, born 19 October 1735, who died 4 July 1826, and was father of John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States; Samuel, 28 January 1694; Josiah, 8 February 1696; Hannah, 21 February 1698; Ruth, 21 March 1700; Bethia, 13 June, 1702; and Ebenezer, 30 December 1704. This wife died 24 October 1705, and he died at the mature age of 81, on 12 February 1736; and his widow Elizabeth, (by whom he had Caleb, 26 May 1710, that died in few days;) died 14 February 1739, aged 71.

JOSEPH ADAMS, Cambridge, son of John Adams of the same, married 21 February 1688, Margaret James, daughter of Thomas James, of Sudbury, had Joseph, born 1689, who lived to the age of 85; Daniel, 1690; Cherry, if such be a possible name in that day, baptized 31 January 1697; John, 18 April 1637; and Abigail.

MOSES ADAMS, Sherborn, son of Henry Adams the second, married 15 April 1681, Lydia Whitney, daughter of Jonathan Whitney of the same, had Benoni, born 3 November following, Lydia, 2 February 1684; Elizabeth, 18 September 1686, died young; Hannah, 8 February 1688; Elizabeth, again, 25 October 1689; Moses, 26 November 1691; James, 7 July 1693; Isaac, 4 March 1695; and Abigail, 7 September 1697; was selectman 1701, and died 1724.

NATHANIEL ADAMS, Newport 1639, may be that one of Weymouth 1642, who had Abraham Adams, born 16 January 1643.

NATHANIEL ADAMS, Boston, turner, married 24 November 1652, Elizabeth Portmort, daughter of Philemon Portmort, but whether she died soon, and he had another wife Sarah is wholly uncertain, for one Nathaniel Adams of Boston died October 1675, and his wife Sarah died May 1685.

NATHANIEL ADAMS, Boston, blockmaker, if the modern copy of supposed recorded contemporary may be confided in, as in about nine tenths of its contents it may be, by wife Mary alone, had Nathaniel, born 10 September 1653; Mary, 20 May 1655; Sarah, 9 August 1657; David, 30 June 1659; Joseph, 19 June 1661; Elizabeth, 21 March 1662, died soon; Benjamin, 10 December 1660; Elizabeth, again, 2 October 1667; Benjamin, again, 27 May 1671; Isaac, 7 November 1673, and Mary, again, 23 September 1677. No small part of this may have confirmation in his will of 22 March 1690, probated 8 May next, in which his wife Mary, and sons Joseph and Isaac are well provided for, as also daughter Mary, widow of Joseph Hipdich; Sarah, wife of Richard Hunnewell, and Elizabeth, wife of Ebenezer Chaffin, but all subject to the discretion of their mother, and he takes notice that his son Nathaniel had not only recorded his share of property and more, but owed him or money lent, and refued. to acknowledge the debt, so that out of his fatherly regard he can give him but one shilling. See record in Volume XL 136. He died 30 March. Perhaps his eldest son mentioned next

NATHANIEL ADAMS was a soldier in Philip's war; of Turner's Company though rather is it more probable that he lived at Charleston, married Hannah Wilmot, daughter of Nicholas Wilmot, who remembers her in his will of 27 September 1684. He had Nathaniel, born 12 January 1681; Daniel, or David, 19 November 1682; Nicholas, 8 October 1684, died soon; Hannah, 3 October 1686, baptized 6 March 1687; Ann, 15, baptized 19 August 1688, died next month; Ann, again, baptized 2 August 1691, died under 16 years; Wilmot, 21 August 1692; March 29 August 1702, died under 13 years; Abigail, born 17, baptized 21 April 1706, died under 2 years; Ann, again, 31 March 1708, died soon; and Ann, again, 2, baptized 15 January 1710.

NATHANIEL ADAMS of Charlestown, blacksmith, possible but not probably son of Samuel Adams the first, who married Ann Coolidge, daughter of Nathaniel Coolidge of Watertown, I see so little reason to believe his claim to admire on my page with his children, that he must be left in his position with Bond 747.

PETER ADAMS, Medfield, son of Henry Adams the first, born in England, freeman 1650, by wife Rachel, had Peter Adams, born 20 July 1653, who was a physician at Medway, of who I know no more; Hannah, 16 January 1657; Mary; Jonathan, 1663, died soon; Jonathan, again, 15 May 1664; Ruth; and probably three others. A Peter Adams died in New Hampshire 1671.

PETER ADAMS, Braintree, son of Joseph Adams the first, married 12 February 1695, Mary Webb, daughter of Christopher Webb, had Mary, b 27 January following; Abigail, 13 August 1698; Peter, 13 August 1700; Hannah, 12 October 1702; Esther, 11 August 1707; Mehitable, 25 November 1708; Jedediah Adams, 21 January 1711, Harvard College 1733, minister of Stoughton; and Bethia, 3 July 1713, who died young.

RICHARD ADAMS, Weymouth, freeman 2 September 1635, Representative in November 1637, and March 1638, had Samuel, born 6 June 1639; besides daughters Sarah, 3 July 1637; and Ruth, 3 June 1642.

RICHARD ADAMS, Salem, came in the Abigail 1635, aged 29, was a bricklayer from Northampton, with Susan, 26, probably his wife. Perhaps he lived at Charlestown 1674, and may be the same who died 6 October of that year at Malden, whose wife Elizabeth died November 1656. His will mentioned wife probably not mother of any of the daughters, Mary Clough, Sarah, wife of Edward Counts, both of Charlestown, Ruth Glover, and Hannah, born January 1663, unmarried, and made executor Lazarus Glover, perhaps husband of Ruth.

RICHARD ADAMS, Sudbury, had been a soldier in Moseley's Company, wounded in the great swamp fight, 19 December 1675; by wife Rebecca, had Richard, born 11 April 1680; Rebecca, 1682; Sarah, 1683; and John, 26 October 1686.

ROBERT ADAMS, Salem 1638, a tailor, by one tradition brought from DeFonshire, by another probably of equal value, from the far distant Holderness in County York, had first lived two or three years at Ipswich, says Coffin, and had before coming over two children, John and Joanna, and at Salem had Abraham, born 1639, removed to Newbury 1640, and had Isaac, about 1648; Jacob, 23 April 1649, who died soon; and Hannah, 25 June 1650; Jacob, again, 13 September 1651; besides Elizabeth, Mary, and youngest Archelaus, of who some were born before 1648. His wife Elinor died 12 June 1677; and he married 6 February 1678, Sarah, widow of Henry Short, who survived to 24 October 1697, he died 12 October 1682, aged 80. Joanna married 4 January 1654, Launcelot Granger; Elizabeth married Edward Phelps, of Andover; Mary married 15 November 1660, Jeremiah Goodrich; and Hannah married 10 February 1682, William Warham. His will of 7 March 1681, with confirmation of 27 June 1682, probated 28 November next, calls John eldest, but declares Abraham executor, and names other children Isaac, Jacob, Hannah, Joanna, Elizabeth, and Mary, the three last being married, besides the grandchildren viz. three sons of Abraham, and his daughter Mary. He left good estate. See Genealogical Registrar IX. 126.

ROGER ADAMS, Roxbury, by wife Mary Baker, daughter of Thomas Baker, who died 28 June 1710, had Thomas, born 19 October 1675, died soon; Joseph, 13 October 1676; Maria, 22 May 1678; Sarah, 15 March 1680; Roger, 3 July 1681; Abigail, 10 April 1683; Daniel, 6 November 1680; and Hannah, 7 April 1688, died young. Copy of his will, of 14 December 1713, is seen in Volume XVIII. 129, as probated 10 March following. It provides for eldest son Joseph; daughter Mary, her child, and children of daughter, Sarah Smith, and her children; daughter Abigail, son Daniel, and son in law, John Robbins. But who was father of this Roger Adams is not found.

SAMUEL ADAMS, Charlestown, son of Henry Adams the first, born in England, freeman 10 May 1643, married Rebecca Graves, daughter of Thomas Graves, had Samuel, born 3 July 1647; Rebecca; Thomas, about 1652; John; and Catharine, 29 October 1657; both died young; Catharine, again, 4 January 1659; removed to Chelmsford, there was town clerk 1679. His wife died 8 October 1664, and he married 7 May 1668, Esther Sparhawk, daughter of Nathaniel Sparhawk the first of Cambridge, and had four more children of who Nathaniel, Joseph, and Esther are known from will of their elder brother Thomas Adams. He was a Captain and died 24 January 1689, aged 72. His daughter Rebecca married John Waldo.

SAMUEL ADAMS, Fairfield, son of Edward Adams of the same, died about 1693, leaving wife and children Samuel, born 1 January 1678; and Abraham.

THOMAS ADAMS, Braintree, son of Henry Adams the first, freeman 10 May 1643, Artillery Company 1644, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 24 July 1643, died soon; removed to Concord, there had Jonathan and Pelatiah, twins 6 March 1646; Timothy, 2 April 1648; George, 29 May 1650; Samuel; and Thomas; removed to Chelmsford, there had Rebecca, 18 September 1657; Elizabeth, 21 October 1659; and Mary, again, 29 October 1664; was town clerk selectman, Representative at second session 1673, and died 20 July 1688, aged 76. His eldest four sons lived at Chelmsford 1692.

THOMAS ADAMS, Charlestown, married 2 December 1654, Alice Roper, daughter of John Roper the second of Dedham, had Edith, born 21 February 1656; Susanna, baptized 3 February 1661; Sarah, born 12 March 1667; Samuel, April 1669; and Abigail, 12 September 1671; and he died 14 October 1697.

THOMAS ADAMS, New Haven, took oath of fidelity 7 April 1657, married 27 November 1667, Rebecca Potter, daughter of William Potter, had only child Abigail, born 29 September following. A ridiculous story of his being mistaken for King Charles Il at New Hampshire in 1602 may be read on page 60 of the second Volume of the record of that collection recently published and some slight connection may be found in the affidavit of Captain Bredan, made in 1661, showing that the government of New England "apprehended a gentleman not many years ago (supposedly him to be the King) resolved to send him for England had not Sir Henry Moody and others better known His Matie." We may read in Hutchinson I. 215 that Captain Bredan gave information of having seen the regicides at Boston. Sir Henry Moody was of Long Isand. See New York Colony Documents Volume III. 39. To the benevolence of C.J. Hoadley of Hartford I am indebted for this curious, but unimportant matter. Charles II knew well, that any place on the European continent would be better refuge for him.

THOMAS ADAMS, Charlestown, son of Samuel Adams of the same, was a mariner, i. e. shipmaster, died at Barbados. By his will of 28 February 1684 made at age of 32, at Charlestown, probated 3 June 1686, by President Dudley, he gave wife Mary his dwelling house and other estate, names no children but fully indicated his relations, father Samuel of Chelmsford, to whom he gives £20, in ready money, a negro girl to his mother Esther for life, and next to Rebecca Waldo, and at her death, to Susanna Waldo, but with condition "she shall not serve above 20 years from this time;" speaks of his uncle Thomas Graves, and calls Nathaniel, Joseph, and Benjamin Adams his brothers, and Esther his sister who should have residual of his property after his wife's death. It may be seen in Volume XI. 2.

WALTER ADAMS, Charlestown, married 15 December 1657, Hannah Moulton, daughter of Robert Moulton the second of Salem, had John, born 11 October 1664; William, 1669; Jacob, 24 December 1670; Hannah, 22 August 1673; and perhaps others, earlier, or later; or both; in 1678, lived on Malden side.

WILLIAM ADAMS, Cambridge 1635, or earlier, freeman 22 May 1639, removed probably before 1642, to Ipswich, but at Cambridge, had William, Nathaniel, and Samuel, probably born in England, and he died 1661.

WILLIAM ADAMS, Ipswich, probably son of the preceding, and perhaps that passenger in the Elizabeth and Ann from London, 1635, aged 15, had John; and William Adams, born 27 May 1650, Harvard College 1671; and died January 1659.

WILLIAM ADAMS, Dedham, son of the preceding, the earliest graduate of this copious name, became the second minister at Dedham, ordained 3 December 1673, married 21 October 1674, Mary Manning, daughter of William Manning of Cambridge, had Mary, born 12 November 1675, died soon; Eliphalet Adams, 26 March 1677, Harvard College 1694, distinguished man, minister of New London; William, 17 January 16~9. His wife died 24 June 1679, and he married 29 March following Alice Bradford, daughter of William Bradford the second, had Elizabeth, born 23 February 1681; Alice, 3 April 1682; William, 17 December 1683; and posthumous daughter Abiel, 15 December 1685. He had preached at Boston the General Election sermon 27 May preceding, and died 17 August next. Judge Sewall informs us, that he attended the funeral, and that prayers were publically offered, then for the first time in New England on such an occasion. His widow became second wife of Major James Fitch of Norwich, and had eight more children. Of the marriages of his daughters and later details of the family, enough may be seen in Worthington's History of Dedham, Lamson's Centen. Disc., Allen in Genealogical Registrar IX. 127, and in the large Mem. of Eliphalet, by Miss Caulkins, 4 Massachusetts History Collections I. 1.

WILLIAM ADAMS, Hartford 1650, perhaps bought land 1653 at Farmington, and there died 18 July 1656. His widow Elizabeth, died 3 August following.

WILLIAM ADAMS, Sudbury, by wife Elizabeth, had James, born 31 March 1674; John, 8 March 1676; and Richard, 22 August 1678. In the Defence from London, 1635, came one Dorothy Adams, aged 24, but whose wife or daughter she was, is unknown to me. Farmer remarks, in 1836, that of this name, fifty-two had been graduates at Harvard, twenty-three at Yale, and at all the other New England colleges, forty-two; of which vast number were ministers, eighteen of Harvard, six of Yale, and four of the other colleges.

ISAAC ADDINGTON, Boston, 1640, freeman 1650, by wife Ann Leverett, daughter of Elder Thomas Leverett, who outlived him, had Isaac, born 22, baptized 26 January 1645; Ann, 10, baptized 14 March 1647; Rebecca, baptized 11 March 1649, as "four days old;" Sarah, 12, baptized 20 April 1651, died 2 August of next year; and Sarah, again, 11, baptized 13 February 1653; was chosen 1652 into the Artillery Company when Whitman erronously calls him Israel; and he died next year. Ann married Captain Samuel Maudesley; Rebecca married Eleazer Davenport; and Sarah married Penn Townsend.

ISAAC ADDINGTON, Boston, only son of the preceding, married 1669, Elizabeth Bowen, daughter of Griffith Bowen of London, but formerly of Boston, had Elizabeth, born 21 September 1671, who died before her father. He was bred for a surgeon, but was almost wholly unknown in later years for that skill, became a Representative 1685, and was forthwith chosen speaker, and next year assistant. By the new charter the King under dictation of Increase Mather, made him of the council and the Secretary, in which offices he many years was continued, unlike several of Mather's nominees; and was appointed after Judge of the highest Court 1702, and its Chief, next year. His wife died 2 March 1713, and he married 19 November following, Elizabeth Norton, widow of Honorable John Wainwright, daughter of William Norton of Ipswich, and died 19 March 1715, leaving no children. Sewall says his funeral was attended on 23d by 20 counsellors. His widow died 22 November 1742, aged 87.

WILLIAM ADDIS, Gloucester 1642, one of the chief inhabitants, perhaps went home for a short time, but in 1658-62 lived at New London, as a brewer. He had two daughters Milicent, who married 28 November 1642, William Southmayd, next William Ash, and, last, Thomas Beebe, who were all of New London; and Ann, who married 24 June 1653, at Boston, Ambrose Dartmouth.

WILLIAM ADEY, Plymouth, of who I learn only, that he was fined in 1636, for work on Sunday.

THOMAS ADGATE, Saybrook, had Elizabeth, born 10 October 1651; and Hannah, 6 October 1653; and by second wife Mary Marvin, widow of Richard Bushnell, daughter of Matthew Marvin, with whom about 1660, he removed to Norwich, had Abigail, August 1661; Sarah, January 1663; Rebecca, June 1666; and Thomas, March 1670. He was after at Saybrook, Deacon, and died 1707. All the daughters were married, Elizabeth to Richard Bushnell, 7 December 1672; Hannah, to Samuel Lothrop, but perhaps as second wife; Abigail, to Daniel Tracy, 1682; Sarah, to Christopher Huntington the second, and Rebecca, to Joseph Huntington.

THOMAS ADGATE, Norwich, son of the preceding, married 15 June 1692, Ruth Brewster, daughter of Benjamin Brewster of the same, bad Thomas, and Matthew, was Deacon, and reached to very old age.

BENJAMIN ADKINS, Middletown, son of Josiah Adkins of the same, married 8 June 1709, Jane Stevens of New Haven, had Sarah, born 27 March following; Hannah, 12 October 1712; and his wife died 16 November next. He married 9 May 1716, Elizabeth Barnes, and had Elizabeth, born 1717; Benjamin, 2 November 1718; Daniel, 25 March 1721; Rachel, 1723; Joel, 24 April 1725; Ruth, 1728; Jemima, 9 November 1731; David, 20 June 1734, died in few weeks; David, again, 16 July 1736; and Elisha, 12 August 1738, died young; and this wife died 20 May 1752.

EPHRAIM ADKINS, Middletown, youngest son of Josiah Adkins of the same, married 16 June 1709, Elizabeth Whitmore, or Elizabeth Wetmore, perhaps daughter of Thomas Whitmore of the same, had Thomas, born 5 April following; Ephraim, 18 July 1712, died next year; Elizabeth, 6 December 1714; Ephraim, again, 22 March 1717, died at 18 years; Naomi, 6 June 1719; Ebenezer, 1 October 1721; James, 9 April 1724; and George, 26 December 1726; and his ife. died 20 May 1752, says indefatigable Hinman, in his new Edit. of 1852. But as he gives the same day for death of the wife of Benjamin, the elder brother, and the baptized name of each was the same, without daring to guess which of the two is correct, I venture to doubt, that he fell into a very natural error, not observing the repetition. Ephraim died he says 26 December 1760; and note is not found as to Benjamin.

JOSIAH ADKINS, Middletown, died 12 September 1690, leaving seven children minors, Sarah, aged 16; Abigail, 14; Solomon, 12; Josiah, 10; Benjamin, 8; Ephraim, 6; and Elizabeth, 3; but by a former wife thought to be an Andrews, others had recorded their portions, named Thomas, Samuel, and Elizabeth Gilman, who perhaps was deceased before the marriage 8 October 1673, with Elizabeth Whitmore, mother of the young ones, for who and her children he made provision in his will a few days before his death.

JOSIAH ADKINS, Middletown, son of the preceding, married 16 December 1708, Mary Wheeler, perhaps daughter of John Wheeler of Stratford, had Joseph, born September 1709; Mary, 14 October 1710; Elizabeth, February 1712; Abigail, 14 November 1713; Josiah, 11 October 1715; John, 14 October 1717; and died 1 November 1724.

SAMUEL ADKINS, Milford, perhaps son of Josiah Adkins by his first wife, had wife Esther, and died 1697.

SOLOMON ADKINS, Middletown, eldest son by second wife of Josiah Adkins the first, married 18 May 1709, Phebe Edwards of Northampton, had Abigail, born 11 April 1711; Samuel, 21 September 1713; Hannah, 26 May 1715; Solomon, 10 February 1717, died next year; Phebe, 30 May 1719, died soon; Solomon, again, 11 August 1720; Phebe, again, and Esther, twins 4 August 1725; Jabez, 23 April 1728, died next year; Abigail, again, 6 April 1729; Rebecca, 21 November 1730; Jabez, again, 21 November 1731, died at 20 years, was a Deacon, and died 1748, aged 70.

THOMAS ADKINS, Hartford, perhaps brother of the first Josiah Adkins, died 23 October 1694, leaving children Mary, aged 22; Thomas, 21; William, 19; Jane, 16; Sarah, 12; Josiah, 9; and Benoni, 4. Hinman says, he requested his brother Gabriel Adkins, of whom we know no more, to bring up the youngest boy; and that, in 1709, administered on estate of the second Thomas Adkins, was given to his brother Josiah Adkins. But he tells no more of the family. Most of the descendants of the families of this name, not all of them, have changed the spelling to Atkins.

HENRY ADVERD, or HENRY ADFORD, Scituate 1640, married 6 October 1643, Thomasine Manson, had son Experience; daughters Mary, Elizabeth, and Sarah; and died at Rehoboth 1653. Mary married 13 March 1671, Abraham Jaquith of Woburn.

WILLIAM AGER, WILLIAM AGAR, WILLIAM AUGER, WILLIAM EGER, or WILLIAM EAGER, administered freeman 18 May 1631. I dare not attempt to indicate how close is the reality of relationship with those who spell Auger and Hagar.

NINIAN AGNEW, Kittery 1676, was held in esteem, sufficiennt to be made appraiser with Captain John Wincoll, on estates of Roger Plaisted, as well as of Richard Tozer, that year.

ANCHOR AINSWORTH, Boston, had short residence if any, for, under power of alienation of 8 September 1645, his lot of land was sold 30 March 1647 by his attorney.

DANIEL AINSWORTH, Roxbury 1648, was later of Dedham, died 13 November 1680; and Alice, his widow died 9 January 1685.

EDWARD AINSWORTH, Roxbury, perhaps son of the preceding, married 11 January 1688, Joanna Hemenway, probably daughter of Joshua Hemenway of the same, had Joshua, born 22 January 1689, died next day; Hannah, 21 January 1690; Edward, 18 August 1693; Elizabeth, 18 November 1695; Daniel, 7 October 1697; Joanna, 31 December 1699, or by other Representative 5 October 1700, both dates appeared on the record, and Judah, 25 January 1703. Possibly the name has degenerated to Ensworth.

THOMAS AKERS, Charlestown, had Thomas, Sarah, and Rachel, died probably 1651, leaving widow Priscilla, who married "old William Knapp," and outlived him. Thomas Akers, the son, had been gone many years to the wars in Ireland, as his sister Rachel Akers testified 22 August 1659, and had not been heard of for more than ten years.

BENJAMIN ALBEE, or BENJAMIN ALBY, Braintree 1641, freeman 18 May 1642, had, unless the record be wrong, Hannah, born 16 August 1641; Lydia, 14 April 1642; removed to Medfield 1649, there had Benjamin 1653; as it is said; certainly Sarah, 11 March 1654; and may have been of Mendon or Swanzey 1669; most probably the former. See Colony record Volume IV. part II. 434. Lydia, married 30 October 1658, Alexander Lovell; and Hannah married 25 March 1663, Samuel Wight of Mendon. In his historical discertation about Braintree, Whitney prints this name Alber.

JOHN ALBEE, or JOHN ALBY, Salem 1637, freeman 10 May 1643, died 1690. He may have the second letter of his name perverted, and possibly was father of Samuel Abby, or Samuel Abbee.

JOHN ALBEE, or JOHN ALBY, Braintree, lost a servant Francis Brown by death 1640, and may have been the freeman of 1670, if Paige's reading of the last name in the MS of Volume IV. 651 be more correct than the government printed copy of that Volume part II. page 584.

JOHN ALBEE, or JOHN ALBY, Rehoboth, had Hannah, born 10 October 1673.

JOHN ALBESON, or JOHN ALLBERSON, Yarmouth, perhaps son of Nicholas Albeson, married 16 March 1697, Elizabeth Folland, had Jeconia, born 2 January 1698, died next month, and David, 1 November 1699.

NICHOLAS ALBESON, or NICHOLAS ALLBERSON, Scituate 1636, distinguished as "the Swede," had children as tradition goes, who he himself baptized, but Deane found on record nothing relating to the man, except that, in Philip's war, the Indians burned his house, 20 May 1676, and the town voted a contribution towards rebuilding it.

JOHN ALBOROW, JOHN ALBOROUGH, JOHN ALBRO, JOHN ALDBURY, JOHN ALBROE, or JOHN ALSBERRIE, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1655, was an Assistant 1671, and one of the councillors appointed by King James Il, for his Governor Andros, 1687, as Hutchinson I. 354 gives the list. Gladly would we learn more of so prominent a man, ancestor of the Reverend John A. Albro, D.D. of Cambridge, and speak with confidence if record would permit. Very reasonable may be the conjectured that he came, as a youth of 14 years, under charge of William Freeborne, in the Francis from Ipswich, 1634, to Boston. Freeborne was, we know of Boston, until the sad dissention about Mrs. Hutchinson, 1637, when he withdrew in company of so many others with Governor Coddington to purchase Rhode Island. What presumption may be drawn, from the mural tablet to Alborough in the church of Stratford on Avon, whither the admirable of Shakespeare annual resort, that this Rhode Island family came from Warwickshire, will be variously determined by different jurors. Alborow's daughter Susanna married 3 January 1694, John Anthony of Portsmouth, as his second wife. His wife Dorothy, who was a widow Potter, and may therefore be thought a second wife, died 19 February 1696 in her 79^th year, and the record showed me, that he died 14 December 1712, aged 95 years, which is a closer agreement with custom house records so many years before than is often found.

FRANCIS ALCOCK, Newbury, came in the Bevis 1638, aged 26, in the employment of Richard Dummer, as the England custom house record tells; but that is the sole authority for calling him of Newbury, nor is any more known of him.

GEORGE ALCOCK, Roxbury, came in the fleet with Governor Winthrop 1630, with his wife, a sister of Reverend Thomas Hooker, but leaving only son at home, desired adminstration as freeman 19 October of that year, and was recorded 18 May following, before the gathering of church at Roxbury. He was Deacon at Dorchester, and his wife died the first season. He was a physician, Representative at the first Court 14 May 1634, and after, as well as Deacon for Roxbury church. He went home to bring his son John, and at the same or following visit got second wife Elizabeth, by whom he had Samuel Alcock, born 16 April 1637, Harvard College 1659; and at his death about 30 December 1640, the church record says he "left a good savior behind him, the poor of the church much bewailing his loss." Of his will, made ten days before, an abstract may be read in Genealogical Registrar II. 104. His widow in April following married Henry Dingham, or Henry Dengham, or Henry Dengayne, a surgeon of Watertown.

JOB ALCOCK, York 1666, son of John Alcock of the same, made a Lieutenant 1677, and a Magistrate under authority of Massachusetts 1678, and Captain 1681; by creation of William and Mary, in the new Charter under advice of Increase Mather, 1691 made a counsellor, but was next year left out, on the popular revulsion against his patron. Hutchinson 11. 15, says only, that he was of Maine, yet strange is it, that both he, and Douglas, I. 486 should falsely spell his name, Alcot, and stranger still, that Mather should have put that error into his charter, probably for the sake of euphony.

JOHN ALCOCK, Kittery, administered freeman of Massachusetts 1652, probably removed to York, had to divide his estate 1675, two sons Joseph, and Job, five daughters viz. Mary, wife of Samuel Twisten, perhaps, or of John Twisten the second, Elizabeth, wife probably of Richard Banks; Hannah, wife perhaps of George Snell; Sarah Gittings, whose husband is a stranger to me; and Lydia Dummer, perhaps a maiden, sole child of another daughter. Yet conjectured may be wearied in finding the connection. Joseph Alcock, administered at the same time, was probably his son, but Samuel may not have been.

JOHN ALCOCK, Roxbury, son of George Alcock of the same, born in England early in 1627, Harvard College 1646, was a physician, but after leaving college went to Hartford, probably on call of his uncle Hooker, to teach a school some time. He married Sarah Palsgrave, daughter of Richard Palsgrave of Charlestown, had Joanna, who died soon after, born 5 August or September 1649; Ann and Sarah, twins, baptized 26 May 1650; Mary, 15 August 1652; George Alcock, 25 March 1655, Harvard College 1673; John, born 5, baptized 15 March 1657; probably died 5 May 1690, unmarried; Elizabeth, baptized 27 March 1659; Joanna, again, 6 May 1660; and Palsgrave, 20 July 1662, who died 24 November 1710. His wife died 29 November 1665, aged 44; and he died 27, was buried 29 March 1667. His will, of 10 May preceding, names the eight children, several of the later ones were born in Boston, where his profession fixed him, but they were carried to Roxbury for baptism. He owned estate on Block island, distributed to heirs in 1677, but how acquired, I see not. Of his children, Ann married 1670, John Williams of Boston; Sarah married 1 670, Reverend Zechariah Whitman; Mary married Joshua Lamb of Roxbury; Joanna married Ephraim Hurd; and George, the scholar, meaning probably to follow his father's profession, died in London, where he made his will 27 February 1677, probated 9 March after at Doctors Commons, the Prerogative Court of the archbishop of Canterbury. In it he divides to the five sisters the estate that came to him from father and mother, after providing a liberal memorial for the Roxbury school.

JOHN ALCOCK, Boston, son of Thomas Alcock of the same, but born at Dedham, married Constance Mylam, daughter of Humphrey Mylam, had Mary, born 3 May 1678; Mylam, 8 August 1680; Hannah, 5 November 1682; Sarah, 18 January 1685; Rebecca, 14 August 1687; Elizabeth, 3 April 1694; Constant, 17 January 1697; and Sarah, again, 11 January 1699.

JOSEPH ALCOCK, York, eldest son of John Alcock of that place, was administered freeman of Massachusetts 1652, but died before July 1678, when John Twisden was his administrator, and he left a widow.

PALSGRAVE ALCOCK, Roxbury, youngest son of John Alcock of the same, had wife Esther, but no children, as from his will, of 24 November 1710, probated 14 December following, in which he gave all his property to wife for life, is reasonably conjectured.

PHILIP ALCOCK, New Haven, perhaps son of Thomas Alcock, married 5 December 1672, Elizabeth Mitchell, daughter of Thomas Mitchell, had John, born 14 July 1675; Thomas, 1677; Elizabeth, 6 February 1679; Philip, 19 November 1681; and perhaps more; had come thither from Wethersfield, it is said, was a proprietor 1685, and married second wife 4 April 1699, Sarah, widow of Nathaniel Butler, and died 1715.

SAMUEL ALCOCK, Kittery 1652, then made freeman of Massachusetts, was of York 1659.

SAMUEL ALCOCK, Boston, youngest son of George Alcock of Roxbury, was a physician, married 24 March 1668, Sarah Stedman, daughter of John Stedrnan, and widow of John Brackett of Cambridge, had four children each of whom died at few weeks old, and lie buried near him. He was freeman 1676, and died 1677, on 16 March, as says the grave stone, or 17, by Hammond's Diary; but the record has 18. His widow had third husband, Dr. Thomas Graves of Charlestown, and fourth Honorable John Phillips of the same, and outlived him.

THOMAS ALCOCK, Boston, brother of George Alcock, came, no doubt, in the fleet with Winthrop, for his number in the list of church members is 46, by wife Margery, had Mary, baptized 3 November 1635, died young; Elizabeth, 10 December 1637, died soon; removed to Dedham, there had Elizabeth, again, born 4 October 1638; Sarah, 28 December 1639; Hannah, 20 May 1642; Mary, again, 4 October 1644; Rebecca, 1646; and returned to Boston, had John, 2, baptized 6 July 1651 ; perhaps Philip, intermed. He was freeman 6 May 1635, and died 14 September 1657. His widow married 16 November 1660, according to the record which I think should be 1659, John Benham; and of the daughters, Elizabeth married 6 May 1656 Joseph Soper, and Mary married 27 September 1664, James Robinson of Dorchester.

JOHN ALDBURG, a youth of 14, came in the Francis, 1634, under William Freeborne. See Alborow.

DAVID ALDEN, Duxbury, son of John Alden of the Mayflower, was Representative 1689 and 90, after the overthrow of Andros; but Farmer was, I doubt, under mistake in making him Assistant 1690; and Winsor followed him. His wife was Mary Southworth, daughter of Constant Southworth, by whom he had Benjamin, Samuel, and Alice, besides Ruth.

JOHN ALDEN, Plymouth, passenger in the first ship 1620, had not been associated at Leyden with the Pilgrims, but was hired at Southampton as a cooper, with right of staying on this side or returning, married 1623, Priscilla Mullins, daughter of William Mullins, who as well as his wife, died the first February after landing. We know only eight children by their names, John, born perhaps 1623; Joseph, David, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ruth, and Mary; but in Bradford we find husband and wife living in 1650, "and have eleven children and their eldest daughter hath five children". Of these in May 1627, at the division of cattle, only John and Elizabeth, are named, so that the other nine were born later, but their dates of birth are not heard. He lived most of his days at Duxbury, was Representative 1641, yet had been chosen an Assistant for the Colony 1633, to Governor Winslow, and served 42 years in that office, to every Governor after Carver. Idly would tradition attempt to magnify his merit, as the first to jump upon the rock at Plymouth landing, when he was not of the party in the shallop that discoved the harbor, but continued on board ship at Cape Cod. He was the last male survivor of the signers of the compact in that harbor, November 1620, and died 12 September 1687, aged 84, or, by other account 88. Of the daughters, Elizabeth married 18 December 1644, William Peabody and died 3 May 1717, aged 94, says her grave stone; Sarah married Alexander Standish; Ruth married 12 May (Winsor has it 3 February) 1657, John Bass of Braintree; and Mary married Thomas Delano.

JOHN ALDEN, Duxbury, eldest son of the preceding, removed to Boston, where the record says, perhaps erroneously by wife Elizabeth, he had Mary, born 17 December 1659, for that date may be of death of his wife, since 1 April following he married (I suppose as second wife) Elizabeth Phillips, daughter of William Phillips, and widow of Abiel Everill, had John, born 20 November following, died soon; Elizabeth, 9 May 1662, died at 2 months; John, again, 12 March 1663; William, 16 March 1664, died soon; Elizabeth, again, 9 March 1665; William, again, 5 March 1666, died soon; Zechariah, 8 March 1667, died soon; William, again, 10 September 1664; Nathaniel, 1670; Zechariah Alden, again, 18 February 1673, Harvard College 1692; Nathan, 17 October 1677; and Sarah, 27 September 1681. In the witchcraft madness of 1692, he suffered many weeks imprisonment as Caleb and Hutchinson II. 48, relate, yet recovered from the popular persecution, and died 14 March 1702. His daughter Elizabeth married John Walley, possibly grandson of Reverend Thomas Walley; and next 30 April 1702, Simon Willard, but this union is not clear to me. As his son John had wife Elizabeth, it is difficult from the Boston record to tell who John and Elizabeth, had the latest birth. It might as easily be inferred that the witchcraft belonged to the son as the father, and indeed Thayer in his Genealogy makes the younger the sufferer in which he is followed by Winsor, contrary to the general import of Calef and Hutchinson. With them I concur, for the son was only 29 years old, and more venerable age is usually found liable to assaults by the great adversary for such cases.

JONATHAN ALDEN, Duxbury, brother of the preceding, married 10 December 1672, Abigail Hallet, daughter of Andrew Hallet, had Andrew, Jonathan, John and Benjamin; but no dates are found for either. The two former, it is said, went to Lebanon. He was buried 17 February 1698, aged 70, says family tradition, and his widow died 17 August 1725, aged 81.

JOSEPH ALDEN, Duxbury, brother probably elder of the preceding, married Mary Simmons, daughter of Moses Simmons, removed early to Bridgewater, had Isaac; Joseph, born 1668; John, and, perhaps Elizabeth, and Mary; and died 8 February 1697. The daughters were married one before and one after. From the passengers in the Mayflower are filled with details of descendants, 28 pages of Thayer's Genealogy and in Collection of Epitaphs, by Reverend Timothy Alden, comprised in 5 volumes, is seen large proof of filial gratitude. Of this name eight had been graduates at Harvard in 1834, and two at Yale.

JOHN ALDERMAN, Dorchester 1634, Salem 1636, when Jane, probably his wife, was member of the church, had grant of land at Salem 1637, freeman 22 May 1639, died 1657. See Winthrop I. 144; and Felt, Annals I. 171.

WILLIAM ALDERMAN, Windsor, 1672, soon after at Simsbury, married 1679, Mary Case, daughter of John Case of Salem, had Mary, born 22 September 1680; Thomas, 11 January 1683; William, 20 October 1686; Sarah, 1692; John, 1695; and Joseph, 1697; and died at Farmington, 1697. His widow married 30 March 1699, James Hillyer.

DANIEL ALDIS, Dedham, son of Deacon John Aldis of the same, married 23 November 1685, Sarah Paine, perhaps daughter of the second Moses Paine of Braintree, had Sarah, born 16 October 1686; Daniel, 2 December 1687, died at 3 months; Ann, 21 August 1692; Sarah, 27 August 1695. His wife died 17 April 1711; and he died 21 January 1717; and this marks the last appearance of the family name on the town records. His will made two days before names wife Sarah, son in law William Bacon, daughter Ann, wife of Jonathan Onion, and grandson William Bacon; and may be seen in Volume XX.166.

JOHN ALDIS, Dedham, son of Nathan Aldis, born in England, married 27 September 1650, Sarah Eliot, daughter of Philip Eliot of Roxbury, were both administrators of the church 29 December following, had Sarah, born 9 June 1652, yet not baptized before 12 June 1653; John, 12, baptized 18 February 1655; Mary, 29 November 1657; Nathaniel, 1 August 1659, died at 2 years; Daniel, 3 August 1661; Nathaniel, again, 6 March 1664, died at 19 years and Hannah, 4 July 1666. He was Deacon, and his wife died 12 November 1686; and he died 21 December 1700. Sarah married 26 April 1675, Gershom Hubbard; and Mary married 21 February 1679, Nathaniel Richards.

JOHN ALDIS, Dedham, son of the preceding, by wife Mary, had Ruth, born 14 August 1695; and no more is heard of husband, wife or children in Dedham, but he had lived at Wrentham, married 23 May 1682, Mary Winchester; had Sarah, born 26 February following; Ethan, 11 May 1685; and Hannah, 19 February 1688.

NATHAN ALDIS, Dedham, with wife joined the church early in 1640 and 1641, respectively. They had brought from England certainly Mary, who married 15 March 1643, Joshua Fisher, and perhaps other children besides John, before mentioned. He was made freeman 13 May 1640, was chosen one of the first two Deacons, and died 15 March 1676. The widow named Mary, died 1 January following, but she and son John had administration.

GEORGE ALDRIDGE, or GEORGE ALDRICH, Dorchester, freeman 7 December 1636, by wife Catharine, had, besides Miriam, buried 27 January 1640; and Experience, who died 2 February 1642; and at Braintree, John, born 2 April 1644; Sarah, 16 January 1646; Peter, 14 April 1648; Mercy, 17 June 1650; Miriam, again, who died 1 December 1651, or 10 March 1602, as the record reads; Jacob, 28 February 1653; and Mattithiab, 10 July 1656. He was one of the first settlers at Mendon, 1663.

HENRY ALDRIDGE, or HENRY ALDRICH, Dedham, had Mary, born 19 March 1643, died soon; Samuel, 10 March 1645; and perhaps before settling at Dedham, Thomas; was freeman 1645, and died 23 February 1646. His wife Mary, perhaps mother of all these children, married Samuel Judson, who 7 June 1657 provided by his will for her two sons, and she next married John Hayward, and outlived him.

JOHN ALDRIDGE, or JOHN ALDRICH, Braintree, son of George Aldridge, married 31 October 1678, Sarah Leach, daughter of Giles Leach of Bridgewater, if there be no error of date, for by wife Sarah, he had Joseph, born 20 September 1676; and Jacob, 27 December 1677; but that wife died 25 February following as is said. Perhaps there were two.

JOSEPH ALDRIDGE, or JOSEPH ALDRICH, Braintree, perhaps brother of the preceding, married 26 February 1662, Patience Osborne of Weymouth, perhaps daughter of John Osborne, had Joseph, born 14 July 1663; and Sarah, 27 October 1677.

ROBERT ALDRIDGE, or ROBERT ALDRICH, Braintree, perhaps married 25 December 1656.

THOMAS ALDRIDGE, or THOMAS ALDRICH, Dedham, son perhaps of Henry Aldridge, married 4 May 1675, Elizabeth Prentice, daughter of the brave Captain Thomas Prentice, who died 5 February following, and he married 16 January 1678, Hannah Colburn, daughter of Nathaniel Colburn, had Hannah, 17 December 1679; John, 8 May 1681; Mary, 5 August 1683; and Thomas, 17 April 1685; was freeman 1677, and died 23 October 1694. With spelling of Aldrich, four had been in 1829, graduates at Brown University, and none at Harvard or Yale. Perhaps this name became Eldridge sometimes.

FRANCIS ALEWORTH, Dorchester, freeman 18 May 1631, went home the following year, though he had been by the Court of Assistants in July, chosen Lieutenant of the Company, another man with this surname, at the Court in March 1631, was ordered to go, "as unmeeting to inhabit here."

DANIEL ALEXANDER, Windsor, son of George Alexander, wounded in Philip's war, lived after at Northampton, and died unmarried 1686, at Suffield.

DAVID ALEXANDER, Northampton, brother of Robert Alexander, became 3rd husband of Elizabeth Copley, widow of Samuel Langton, daughter of widow Elizabeth Copley.

GEORGE ALEXANDER, Windsor, married 18 March 1644, Susanna Sage, as by Parsons, in Genealogical Registrar V. 63, the surname is given (whose correctness is doubted by scrupulous readers of the original record when the baptized name is Susanna alone, not as printed "Su Sage;" and besides the date of the marriage is not clear on that record) had (he says) John, born 25 July 1645; (yet high authority advises me, that the oldest child was probably Abigail); a child who died 1647, probably very young,; Mary, 20 October 1648; Daniel, 12 January 1651; Nathaniel, 29 December 1652; and Sarah, 8 December 1654; removed to Northampton, and died 5 May 1703. Abigail, married 16 June 1663, Thomas Webster; Mary, married 23 September 1670, Micah Judge; and Sarah, married 6 July 1678, Samuel Curtis.

JOHN ALEXANDER, Northampton, son of George Alexander, married 28 November 1671, Sarah Gaylord, perhaps daughter of Samuel Gaylord of the same, had John, born 24 January 1673; Nathaniel, March 1676; Samuel, 6 November 1678; Joseph, 16 October 1681; Ebenezer, 17 October 1684; Sarah, 7 February 1688; Thankful, 29 March 1691; and Elizabeth. His wife died 3 November 1732, and he died 31 December 1733. One of the sons Ebenezer Alexander, a Deacon of Northfield, was grandfather of Caleb Alexander, Yale College 1777, minister of Mendon, translation of Virgil, formerly well known to idle school boys.

JOHN ALEXANDER, Newton, by wife Beatrice, had Martha, born 16 July 1668; Deliverance, 7 January 1672; and Elizabeth, 16 September 1674; was active in promoting separation of the new town from old Cambridge, 1678, and died 1696.

NATHANIEL ALEXANDER, Northampton, son of George Alexander, married 20 January 1680, Hannah Allen, daughter of Samuel Allen, had Hannah, died 27 October following, few days old; Hannah, again, 26 September 1681; Ruth, 22 February 1631; Thankful, 9 January 1694; Thomas, 9 April 1696, who was drowned, unmarried; Daniel, 14 January 1699, died young; besides Mindwell, Sarah, and Abigail, whose dates are not ascertained, perhaps born after Hannah, and before Ruth, but not record. He died 29 October 1742, at Hadley, whither he removed late in life to live with a daughter, having no sons living.

ROBERT ALEXANDER, Deerfield, died 1689, leaving "aged parents," unlinked to us, and given his property to brothers and sisters, John, David, Dorothy, wife of John Stebbins, Mary, wife of Benjamin Barret, Martha, Deliverance, and Elizabeth.

ROBERT ALEXANDER, Boston, 1684, a Scotchman, may be the same as the preceding, but not probably and certainly is not seen among the taxable inhabitants of 1695.

THOMAS ALEXANDER, one of the Company of Captain Lathrop, called "the flower of Essex," killed in the fight at "Bloody brook," 18 September 1675. Of this name, in 1828, Farmer notes the graduates at Yale were two, none at other New England colleges, but eleven at New Jersey and Union colleges, yet he might have found one at Dartmouth.

BENJAMIN ALFORD, Boston, merchant, probably son of William Alford, Artillery Company 1671, by wife Mary Richards, daughter of James Richards, Esquire, of Hartford, had Mary, born 15 September baptized 14 October 1688; John, baptized (at third or Old South church) 5 July 1685; Benjamin, born Boston, baptized 10 October 1686; Judith, baptized 16 September 1688; James, 19, baptized 26 July 1691; Sarah, 17, baptized 18 March 1694; and Thomas, whose date is not found. He had been a prisoner in Barbary, and after returning, was a man of importance in Boston. His will of 19 February 1697, probated thirteen years after, provided for all the children and wife, who with his brother in law, Benjamin Davis, he made executors. The eldest son John, who had good estate, was of Charlestown, married 12 November 1713.

MARGARET ALFORD, daughter of Colonel Thomas Savage Alford, third of that name, and died 30 September 1761, distinguished as founder of the Alford Professor of Native Theology etc. at Harvard, and for giving large sum to the Society for proper Gospel among the Indians etc. in North America. His wife outlived him; but he had no issue.

REMAIN ALFORD, New London, who died 12 August 1709, aged 63, by Miss Caulkins is styled Colonel. Yet of unknown descent.

WILLIAM ALFORD, Salem, 1635, came the year before from London, a member of the Skinners' Company there, a merchant here; and his wife Mary in 1636 joined to the church, had Nathaniel, baptized 19 March 1637; Samuel, 17 February 1639; Bethia, 26 June 1642; besides Elisha, Mary, and Elizabeth, but his wife brought to Boston church for baptism 5 December 1647, son Jonathan, about six days old, who died under 16 years. See a valuble letter of 13 April 1634 brought by him from Francis Kirbey, to his friend John Winthrop, son of the Governor, printed in 3 Massachusetts History Collections IX. 267. He had favored the party of Wheelwright, and under the name of Mr. Alfoot on the record in 1637, was disarmed by the Geneal Court and thereupon removed for a season to New Haven, and there had, probably two or more of his children, born before 1654. See Haz. II. 247. Yet he came back to Massachusetts but lived at Boston; and by another wife Ann, had John, born 29 November 1658, who died at 2 months. He died January 1677, was buried 13th of that month being Saturday. The will of 13 April with codicil 9 July 1676, names no sons as then living, but he gives £.50 to children of his son Nathaniel, if now alive, and £10 to widow of son Elisha, and made executrix his daughter Mary, that had been wife of Peter Butler, and next of Hezekiah Usher, and had four children, and mentioned daughters Bethia, and Elizabeth, who had married 1 December 1659, Nathaniel Hudson. The whole of the debt of Hudson Leverett, and half of those of other poor debtors are remitted by it; and the codicil was made, because his daughter Mary had became wife of Hezekiah Usher, who was then dead. She took third husband Samuel Nowell, outlived him, and died 14 August 1693.

ANDREW ALGER, Scarborough, 1651, had wife Agnes, and children John; Andrew; and Matthew; Elizabeth, who married John Palmer; Joanna, who married Elias Oakman, and, next, John Mills, both of Boston; besides a third daughter who married John Ashton, or John Austin. He had called his plantation Dunster, from the town near Minehead, in the North West part of County Somerset, where he was born, was constable 1661, and Lieutenant, killed by the Indians with his brother Arthur Alger, October 1675. The family fled to Boston, his will was probated in Essex 24 June following, and his widow married Samuel Walker. See Folsom, 156; and Willis, I. 139, who observed that, in our days, the estate of the Southgate family includes part of the Alger domain.

ANDREW ALGER, Falmouth, son of the preceding, was killed by the Indians when they destroyed the town 1690, leaving only child, the wife, it is said, of Matthew Collins.

ARTHUR ALGER, Scarborough, brother of the first Andrew Alger, perhaps elder, perhaps was father of that Arthur Alger junior, who owned allegiance to Massachusetts 1658; was constable 1658, Representative to Boston, 1671, when the Secretary makes his name Angurs, and 1672, when he cuts off the final letter, was killed by the Indians 14 October 1675, with his brother, leaving widow Ann, and children, but their names are not told. See Hubbard's History of New England 600, and Willis, as above.

ISRAEL ALGER, BridgeWater, son of Thomas Alger, married Patience Hayward, daughter of Nathaniel Hayward of the same, had Israel, born 1689; Joseph, 1691; Thomas,1697; Nathaniel, 1700; and John, 1704.

JOHN ALGER, Scarborough, son of Andrew Alger the first, had several daughters of who Elizabeth married John Millikin. Willis.

MATTHEW ALGER, Scarborough, brother of the preceding, and the last male of the family, died 1690 of fever from the service in the sad expedition of 1690 by Sir William Phips against Quebec, in which he commanded a vessel, and got safely back.

SAMPSON ALGER, York, 1649, then of the grand jury, freeman 1652, constable, 1655. He may have been relative of the foregoing family, but the name is variously written the second letter often being U, agreeing with the sound, and when it is n, looking doubtful, whether Anger, or Angier, as by the scrupulous Paige in Genealogical Registrar III. 193, or Angur, as by the same hand on the next page, or Augur, as the same MS is read by the Editor of Massachusetts Colony record IV. part I. page 358.

THOMAS ALGER, Taunton, 1665, married 14 November of that year, Elizabeth Packard, daughter of Samuel Packard, had Israel, and Deliverance, perhaps others, before or after removing to Bridgewater. Mitchell shows, in his History that most of this name in that vicinity called him their ancestors.

JOHN ALISET, or JOHN ALLISET, Boston 1689, chosen an overseer of cord wood, as also in 1691, yet not found among taxable inhabitants of 1695.

HUGH ALLARD, New Hampshire 1674. One Elizabeth Allard married 10 December 1634, Robert Seaver at Roxbury; and this may well be thought mistake for Ballard, as the church record has it; yet no Ballard is known in Roxbury, so early by many years, and a Mrs. Allard died there 11 August 1717, but she may have been a Huguenot of later importance.

LOUIS ALLARE, Boston, a Huguenot, administered inhabitant 1 February 1692, but in 1695 not seen.

ALEXANDER ALLEN, Windsor 1689, a Scotchman, married 21 September 1693, Mary Grant, had Alexander, born 9 September 1695; John, 25 July 1697; William, 9 April 1701, died soon; and Mary, 7 June 1702, died soon; and by second wife Elizabeth Allen, married 1704, daughter of John Allen, the famous Secretary of the Colony, had Fitz John, 12 October 1705. He died 19 August 1708, by his will made three days before disposing of large property to children, something to brothers William and Robert at home, and £5 to the Scot's box in Boston. His widow married John Gardiner, Esq. of Gardiner's Island.

ALEXANDER ALLEN, Windsor, eldest son of the preceding, married 17 May 1716, Hannah Marshall, probably daughter of John Marshall of Windsor, who died 30 November 1772, aged 77, had Abigail, born 4 February 1717, died at 2 years; Alexander, 23 December 1718; Abigail, again, 28 August 1721 Mary; and Hannah; and died 2 April 1742.

ANDREW ALLEN, Lynn 1642, married Faith Ingalls, daughter of Edmund Ingalls, removed to Andover, there died 24 October 1690. He left Andrew and John, both died the next month after.

ANDREW ALLEN, Andover, son of the preceding, married 1 January 1682, Elizabeth Richardson, had Thomas, who died 18 December 1690, of smallpox, as had the father 26 November preceding.

BENJAMIN ALLEN, Groton 1674, may have been a soldier next year in Moseley's Company for the December campaign.

BENJAMIN ALLEN, Salisbury, son of William Allen the first of same, married 3 September 1686, Rachel, widow of Henry Wheeler, had Elizabeth, born 6 September 1687; Benjamin, 20 May 1689; Squire (so reads the record), 26 March 1691; Jeremiah, 25 Mar 1693; and no more is told.

BOZOAN ALLEN, BOZOUN ALLEN, or BEZOONE ALLEN, Hingham 1638, came from Lynn, County Norfolk, arrived with wife and two servants in the Diligent from Ipswich, was freeman 2 June 1641, Representative 1643, and 7 years more, but not in sequence, last in 1652; of Artillery Company 1650, removed to Boston, made his will 9, September 1652, and died 5 days after. In the History of Winthrop II. 221-236 his political prominence appears. His widow Ann bore him John, Ann, Isaac, and, posthumous Bozoan, 13 February 1653; and married 13 May following Joseph Jewett of Rowley, and died February 1661. His daughter Ann married 2 April 1661, Abraham Jewett; and Martha married Ebenezer Savage of Boston.

BOZOAN ALLEN, Boston, son of the preceding, married 1673, Rachel Houchin, daughter of Jeremiah Houchin, who he succeeded in his great business, as a tanner, had another wife Lydia in 1679, was constable 1680, freeman 1682, one of the selectmen 1692, and Representative 1700.

CALEB ALLEN, Sandwich, eldest son of George Allen the second, married 8 April 1670, Elizabeth Sisson, had Richard, born 8 October 1673; Mary, 29 February 1676; George, 19 May 1678; Hannah, 5 November 1680; Caleb, 20 March 1683; Elizabeth, 3 December 1685; and James, 17 June 1689.

DANIEL ALLEN, Boston, physician, by wife Mariana, had John, born 19 June 1680; Mary, 30 June 1681; Catharine, 15 December 1682; Daniel, 6 December 1683, died young; Benjamin, 26 April 1687; and Daniel, again, 27 July 1688; was chosen Representative September 1693, and died 7 November following. His will of 17 November preceding with codicil of 22nd of the name, provides for wife and children as they attain full age.

DANIEL ALLEN, Charlestown, son of Walter Allen of the same, perhaps born in England, but not probably, by wife Mary Sherman, daughter of Reverend John Sherman. By his first wife had David, born 1 July 1659; Rebecca, 15 January 1661, died in 10 days; removed to Watertown, and had Mary, 1662; removed to Lancaster, there had Samuel, 17 April 1664; and Elnathan, 11 February 1666; again removed to Watertown and had Abigail; Thomas, 1670, who died next year; Ebenezer, 26 December 1674; Elizabeth, and Lydia. He may be that gentleman named in an order of President Dudley's Council 8 December 1686, relating to Secretary's record. See 3 Massachusetts History Collections VII. 162. He died 7 March 1694, and his neighbor Lawrence Hammond, highly extols his character in the Diary. Bond, who must be in error, as to his death at Sudbury 1706, says his son David served in the expedition to Canada, and died 17 October 1711; that Abigail married Moses Palmer of Stonington; and Elizabeth married Joseph Fletcher. One David Allen, not his son, died at Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 10 February 1685, aged 17.

DANIEL ALLEN, Swanzey, by wife Mary, had Elizabeth, born 28 September 1673; and Christian, 26 January 1675.

DANIEL ALLEN, Sandwich, sixth son of George Allen of the same, married Bashua Haxie, daughter of Ludowic Haxie, had Gideon, born 17 May 1686; Hannah, 7 June 1688; Cornelius; Daniel; and Lydia.

EDWARD ALLEN, Ipswich, according to a very doubtful tradition came from Scotland, 1636, married a Kimball, and had, as runs the same story, fifteen sons and three daughters. That account was given by Honorable Samuel C. Allen to Farmer. In the History of Hubbard, who was his neighbor, the burning of his barn, 1670, is mentioned with wife Sarah, who died 12 June 1696, he removed to Suffield, having had nine children and there had one, born 1683; and another 1685. Of seven sons the names are told, but without dates, except John, who is said to have been born about 1660, and was killed by the Indians 11 May 1704 as Deerfield, where he had lived from 1685; Edward, who also lived at Deerfield, there died 1740, leaving a family William, who died at Suffield; 1702; Benjamin, the ancestor of Honorable Samuel C. Allen, had Joseph, who settled at Deerfield; David, and Samuel, both, it is said, went to New Jersey, and Caleb, born 31 March 1685, probably the youngest. Four daughters too are named Sarah, who married 21 April 1685, Edward Smith; Martha, who married Samuel Kent, junior; Abigail, married Timothy Palmer; and Mary, of who nothing is told.

EDWARD ALLEN, Dedham, perhaps nephew of Edward Alleyn of the same, may have been that Edward Allen of Boston, a tailor, who married 7 May 1652, Martha Way, had Sarah, born 22 August 1653; and John, 8 June 1657.

EDWARD ALLEN, Dover 1675, was son of Hope Allen of Boston, as such, sold 13 November 1678, large estate at Falmouth, now Portland, devised to him from his father after diligent inquiry I can learn no more of him.

ELEAZER ALLEN, embarked 27 May 1679 in the Prudence, and Mary, to come to Boston from England, but his visit may have been only a transient one, or he may have gone beyond the bounds of New England, at least we never again find his name.

FRANClS ALLEN, Sandwich 1643, married 20 July 1662, Mary Barlow had Rachel, born 3 July 1663; Abigail, 2 August 1665; Abia, 10 December 1666; Rebecca, 2 August 1668; and Hannah, 25 August 1672.

GEORGE ALLEN, Lynn 1636, removed next year to Sandwich, was Representative 1641 and 2 at Plymouth. He was buried 2 May 1648; and his will, witnessed by Reverend William Leveridge, and others, mentioned sons Matthew, Henry, Samuel, and William, besides "five least children" not named, and made wife Catharine executrix. His house built, 1646, it is said, is in good repair, and still occupied.

GEORGE ALLEN, Sandwich 1643, perhaps son of the preceding, born in England, then in the list of those able to bear arms; may have been of Newport 1639, and at Sandwich, had (by wife Hannah) Caleb, born 24 June 1646, or by another account 1648; Judah, 14 or by another record 30 January 1651; Ephraim, 14 January 1653; Elizabeth, 20 January 1655; James and John, twins 5 August 1657, or 1658; Lydia May 1660; Daniel, 23 May 1663; Hannah, 15 May 1666; and George, 20 June 1672.

GEORGE ALLEN, Weymouth 1641, removed to Boston, and by wife Susanna, had Hannah, born 10 March 1645; Naomi, 26 December 1646; Rachel, or Ruth, 3 October 1648; Susanna, 11 May 1652; and Elnathan, 26 December 1653; but of his identity some doubt may be felt, for in the list of freeman 1645 is a George, who probably was not of Boston.

GIDEON ALLEN, Swanzey 1669, removed to Boston during Philip's war, and after it to Milford, there was a prominent man, and died early in 1693. At Swanzey, by wife Sarah, he had John, born 24 October 1673, who died before his father. He spelled Allin, left widow and five children Gideon; Sarah and George, twins 18 years old; Hannah, 7, and Abigail, 4. His second wife was Ann Burr, daughter of Nathaniel Burr of Fairfield.

HENRY ALLEN, Boston, a joiner, was of the chuch May 1644, freeman 1648, was probably the Deacon who by wife Judith, had Judith, born 26 November 1673; Samuel, 12 January 1675; Ebenezer, 30 January 1676; Ephraim, 4 January 1677; Joseph, 15 September 1678; Henry, 8 July 1680; Benjamin, 4 April 1682; and John, 17 September 1683. He was Representative for Rowley 1674, and died 6 January 1696, leaving good estate but no will.

HENRY ALLEN, Milford 1660, by wife Sarah, had Mary, born 1663; Sarah, 1666; Miriam, 1669; Mercy, 1671; Henry, 1674; Frances, 1676, and George, 1678. His wife died 1680; and he died at Stratford, 1690. Both the sons were proprietors at Milford 1713. By Lambert he is placed at Milford 1645, and called ancestor of Colonel Ethan Allen; but in each statement he is erronous.

HOPE ALLEN, Boston 1651, a currier, by wife Rachel, had Jacob, born 22 February 1654; Joseph, 4 October 1655; Leah, 16 May 1657, died in few months; Mary and Martha, twins 15 June 1659; and Benjamin; the last two, with the first two, and another Leah, yet called Rachel, were baptized 16 September 1666. An elder son Edward lived at Dover, to who we learn from Willis invaluable History of Portland I. 73,159 he had devised large part of an estate by him purchasing of George Cleves, which is the most beautiful quarter of the present city. When he died is not known but it must have been before November 1678, when George Bramhall purchased of the devisee. He left widow Hannah, who married Richard Knight before 1683.

ISAAC ALLEN, Rehoboth, married 30 May 1673, Mary Bowen, perhaps daughter of Henry Bowen, had Isaac, born 3 January 1675; Catharine, 18 January of uncertain year, the record being partially worn away.

JAMES ALLEN, Dedham 1639, freeman 1647, in Medfield 1652, by wife Ann, had John, born 4 December 1639; Mary and Martha, twins 11 December 1641; Sarah, 4 May 1644; Joseph, 24 June 1652; besides James, Nathaniel, William, and Benjamin, probably before and after the last mentioned. He died 27 September 1673. Some reason is perceived for holding this man to be brother of Reverend John Allin of Dedham.

JAMES ALLEN, Boston, one of the ejected ministers, was son of a minister in Hampshire, and born 24 June 1632, as is told, entrant of Magdalen Hall, 16 March 1649, and of New College Oxford, proceeding A.M. and was one of the fellows; arriving at Boston, 10 June 1662, married 18 August 1663, Hannah Dummer, daughter of Richard Dummer; who died 26 February 1668, aged 21, probably without children. Soon he married second wife Elizabeth Houchin, widow of the second John Endicott, daughter of Jeremiah Houchin, had Hannah, born 22 July 1669; James Allen, 24 August 1670, Harvard College 1689; John, 29 February 1672; and Jeremiah Allen, 27 March 1673, who in 1715 was Treasurer of the Province. His wife died 5 April after, and he married 11 September 1673, third wife Sarah Hawkins, widow of Robert Breck, daughter of Captain Thomas Hawkins (the names of both her father and of her former husband being strangely perverted in Drake's History of Boston, 339), had Thomas, 20 May 1675, died in few weeks and Sarah, 11 September 1679, who died at 3 years. After some years preaching there, he was settled in the midst of great disquiet, at the first church on the same day, with Davenport (9 December 1668), in vindication of those charactes he was long a strenuous opponent of the third, or Old South church that sprang out of the unhappy circumstances by which he was brought from New Haven. His last wife died 25 November 1705, and he died 22 September 1710. Dunton says, his son James Allen was a minister in England, died at Northampton, but perhaps he is wrong, for he was young, and our Collections calalogue never gave him the Italics, though it marks him as Socius. See 2 Massachusetts History Collections II. 101 and 3 mentions Harvard College VIII. 250. Both of the Biogrraphical Dictionary Eliot, briefly, and Allen, more at large, explain the difficulty of his course.

JAMES ALLEN, Sandwhich, perhaps son of George Allen the first, had Amey, born 22 December 1665; and Abigail, 28 September 1667, and probably several others, yet it may be that some were born after removing to Tisbury, had wife Elizabeth, and died 20 July 1714, aged 77, leaving many descendants.

JEDEDIAH ALLEN, Sandwich, married Experience Swift, daughter of James Swift, had Experience, born 30 August 1670, died soon; Experience, again, 30 December 1671; Eliashib, 17 October 1672; Judah, 17 October 1675; and Esther, 26 March 1677.

JEREMIAH ALLEN, Salisbury, son of William Allen the first of the same, took oath of allegiance 2 December 1677, married 1686, Ann Bradbury, probably daughter of Thomas Bradbury.

JOHN ALLEN, Plymouth 1633, was perhaps of Scituate, 1646, there died 1662, probably September, as his inventory bears date 25 of that month, leaving widow Ann and son John; but his nuncupative will, made two days before his death in which one house is given to Josiah Litchfield (then a youth) in which the testator lived, and another to his wife, was not probated until 2 June of next year, and that would now-a-days seem a dangerous delay. See Genealogical Registrar VI. 94.

JOHN ALLEN, Dorchester 1632, kept an inn, and was punished for drunkenness of those to which that year he sold.

JOHN ALLEN, Charleston, came, perhaps, in the Abigail, 1635, aged 30, with wife Ann, 30, from some part of Kent, joined the church 22 May 1641, and was administered freeman 2 June next; by wife Sarah, had John, born 16 October 1640, baptized 30 May following; Sarah, born 11 August 1642, died at 4 months; Mary, 6 February 1644; and perhaps others, certainly Elizabeth and Rebecca; before Samuel, 29 November 1656; and Sarah, again, 11 May 1659, died at 2 months. He was of Artillery Company 1639, and, in 1657, the richest man in the town, a Captain, and Representative 1668, and died 27 March 1675. His daughter Mary married perhaps Nathan Rainsford, and next Joshua Hobart. Elizabeth married 11 March 1674, Nathan Hayman, and Rebecca married 28 March 1678, John Goodrich of Wethersfield. See Budington, 249. By Sewall he is called brother of Reverend Thomas Allen, if such be the meaning of the interleaving Almanac, given in Genealogical Registrar VII. 206.

JOHN ALLEN, Springfield 1639, then taxed there, removed soon, perhaps to Rehoboth 1643, and to Newport 1651, thence to Swanzey 1669. Certainly one John Allen at Newport married 10, or 14 October 1650, Elizabeth Bacon, perhaps sister of Nathaniel Bacon of Barnstable, there had Elizabeth, born July 1651; Mary, 4 February 1653; John, November 1654; Mercy, December 1656; Priscilla, December 1659; and Samuel, April 1661.

JOHN ALLEN, Newbury, had John, born 28 August 1656; Samuel, 8 April 1658; Joseph, 18 March 1660; and Benjamin, 30 January 1662.

JOHN ALLEN, New Haven, had Elizabeth, born 11 September 1653; Lydia, 26 December 1656; both baptized 23 May 1658; Hannah, 26 July, baptized 27 November 1659; Mary, 25 February 1662, baptized 30 March following; John, 13 December 1663, baptized 13 February following; and Sarah, 19 November 1666, though the record of her birth is 25 November, unless in Genealogical Registrar IX. 357, a mark is transposed as much I suspect, or the church record is careless, as very frequently we know it is. But the true name is Alling (not Allen), in the first generation as in later ones. See Alling.

JOHN ALLEN, Northampton, son of Samuel Allen, married 8 December 1669, Mary Hannum, daughter of William Hannum, removed to Deerfield, there was killed by the Indians 18 September 1675, the day of Bloody brook, leaving three children John, born 1 October 1670; Samuel, 1673; and Hannah, 1675.

JOHN ALLEN, Medfield, in his will of 2 July 1696, calls himself aged and sickly, and gave all his property to brother Nathaniel Allen, and his heirs.

JOHN ALLEN, Barnstable, married Mary Howland, had John, born 2 April 1674; Mary, 5 August 1675, died at 2 years; Matthew, 6 August 1677, died at 3 years; and Isaac, 8 November 1679.

JOHN ALLEN, Malden, married 25 October 1677, Mercy Call, widow of Samuel Lee, daughter of Thomas Call, died November 1678, aged about 30, and his widow died January next.

JOHN ALLEN, Salisbury, eldest son of the first William Allen of the same, married 24 August 1674, Mary, widow of Jedediah Andros, had Hopestill, born 11 November following if the record be true, who died young; Sarah, 9 February 1677; Hopestill, again, 1 January 1681, died at 3 months; Mary, 27 December 1681; Hannah, 22 October 1686; and Ann, 4 November 1689, died soon; was a Lieutenant, and his wife died 28 April 1695. He died 27 February 1697. In the second syllable this name has i, instead of e, by town record.

JOHN ALLEN, Suffield, married 22 February 1682, Elizabeth Prichard, had John, born 21 December following, died soon; John again, 19 January 1684; Richard, 19 September 1685, died young; removed to Deerfield, there had Elizabeth, 1686; Sarah, 1688; Joseph, 1691; Benjamin, 1693; and Ebenezer, 1696. He and his wife were killed by the Indians 11 May 1704.

JONAH ALLEN, Taunton, had Mary, born 12 May 1663; Sarah, 4 November 1665; Jonah, 17 August 1667. His wife Constant died 10 days after, I suppose, though by record it seems 27 April. He married 14 December following Frances Hill of Milton; but I fear the name should be Austin. Another Jonah Allen of Taunton, on Colony records called junior, had Esther, born 3 January 1663, unless there be confusion of names or dates.

JOSEPH ALLEN, Salem, had wife Bethia, who had administration of his estate 29 June 1682, for good of self and children.

JOSEPH ALLEN, Newport, by wife Sarah, married July 1662, had Abigail, born 1 April 1663; Rose, 1 October 1665; Joseph, 4 March 1668; John, 15 July 1669; Philip, 3 July 1671; William, 10 August 1673; and perhaps he had owned land at Salem 1661.

JOSEPH ALLEN, Gloucester 1674, blacksmith, had Joseph and died 1724. aged 71, as Boabson tells; and in his volume we learn, that he married 1680, Rachel Griggs, probably daughter of William Griggs, had Joseph, born 1681; Jeremiah, 1682; and Rachel, 1684; and his wife died 26 April of that year. In the same year he married Rose Howard, and had Solomon, 1685; Benjamin, 1687; a son without name; Thomas, 1689; Ann, 1691; John, 1692; Rose, 1694; William, 1696; Mercy and Patience, twins 1697; Jeremiah, again 1698; Samuel 1701; Zerubabel, 1703; and Moses, 1706. He was Captain and Representative 1705.

JOSEPH ALLEN, Watertown, son of Walter Allen, married 11 October 1667, Ann Brazier, whose father is not named by Bond, but may have been Edward Brazier, had Abigail, born December 1668, died soon; Rebecca, 8 April 1670, died at 4 years; Ann, 22 August 1674, died at 23 years; Joseph, 16 June 1677; Sarah; Deborah; Rachel; Nathaniel, 8 December 1687; and Patience. His wife died December 1720, and he died 9 September following. His will of 15 January 1713, names wife Ann, two sons and three younger daughters, and appoints Nathaniel executor.

JOSEPH ALLEN, Braintree, youngest son of the first Samuel Allen, married 30 January 1671, Ruth Leeds, had Joseph, born 3 January 1672; where the erronous record calls his mother Rebecca; Abigail, 28 February 1674; Samuel, 5 February 1676; and Benjamin, 31 October 1679. By second wife Rebecca, who died 23 April 1702, he had Rebecca, 9 December 1681; John, 8 July 1686; and Mary, March 1688. He married 27 January 1705 Lydia Holbrook, widow of Samuel; was town Treasurer, Selectman, Deacon, and at last Representative 1715, and died 20 March 1727. His widow made her will 2 April 1745, probated 11 June following.

JOSEPH ALLEN, Gloucester, son of Joseph of the same, married 29 July 1680, Rachel Griggs, had Joseph, born 2 June following Josiah, Boston, merchant, killed by casual discharge of a gun, 5 April 1678.

JOSHUA ALLEN, Yarmouth, had John, born 20 September 1672; but no more is known of the father.

LEWIS ALLEN, Watertown, married 1664, Sarah Ives, daughter of Miles Ives, who died 15 July 1703, had one child born November 1665, died soon; Lewis, December 1666, died soon; Sarah, 3 January 1668; Abel, 15 September 1669; Mary, 14 April 1670; and Ebenezer. For second wife he took a sister of the first, and died 24 January 1708.

MATTHEW ALLEN, Sandwich 1643, son of George Allen the first of the same, lived later at Dartmouth, there (as I learn from the Quaker record) by wife Sarah Kirby, married June 1 1657, had Dorothy, born 8 April 1659; Miriam, June 1661; Deborah, May 1663; Samuel, February 1666; Mary, November 1668; Ahazadiah, not son 27 April 1671; and Matthew, 10 June 1677.

NEHEMIAH ALLEN, Swanzey 1669, was buried 24 June 1675, I suppose, a victim of the first day of Philip's war.

NEHEMIAH ALLEN, Northampton, son of Samuel Allen of Windsor, married 21 September 1664, Sarah Woodford, daughter of Thomas Woodford, had Samuel, born 3 January 1666; Nehemiah, 18 October 1667, died soon; Nehemiah, again, 6 November 1669; Sarah, 22 August 1672; Thomas, 17 January 1675, died next year; Hannah, baptized 6 May 1677; Ruth, perhaps, 5 January, though I think it must have been 9th, 1680; a child without name, 12 August 1683, died soon; and Silence, August 1684. His widow married 1 September 1687, Richard Bulke; and the eldest son had six children born at Northampton, removed to Deerfield, and had three more, of who Joseph Allen, born 1708, was father of Ethan Allen, who gained celebration.

NICHOLAS ALLEN, Dorchester, married 3 July 1663, Mary Ball, widow of the second Robert Pond, whose family name was Ball, and tradition says, that she was of Bury St. Edmunds. By her he had one or two children and after his death she married Daniel Henshaw, and bore the third husband one child. In some records this man's name is given Ellen.

PETER ALLEN, Roxbury, by wife Mary, had James, born 6 June 1692; Elizabeth, 20 December 1694, died at 14 years; Mary, 17 August 1697; and Sarah, 22 April 1701, who died at 8 years.

PHILIP ALLEN, perhaps of Rehoboth or that vicinity, was a soldier of Gallop's Company 1690, in the ill-starred expedition against Quebec.

RALPH ALLEN, Newport 1639, Rehoboth 1643, perhaps son of George Allen the first, and coming this last year from Sandwich, had Josiah, born 3 January 1647; Experience, 14 March 1652; Ephraim, 20 March 1657; besides Mary, buried 18 April 1675. He was one of the many Quakers imprisoned 1659, at Boston, liberated by order of Charles II. So much to the regret of John Hull and the larger part of our people.

RICHARD ALLEN, Salisbury, had Richard, who died 8 June 1678. Ruth, widow of one Richard Allen married 5 October 1660, Philip Knell of Charlestown.

ROBERT ALLEN, Sheepscot 1641, was soon after of Salem, had there grant of land 1643, as he had in February 1639. Went home in 1658, and gave evidence 21 February 1659, at Bristol, England, that he had known 17 years in New England John Brown, a mason, who he left there (perhaps at New Haven, where was his home 1 July 1644), in June preceding in good health. He had resided 1643, at New Haven, and next year took the oath of fidelity.

SAMUEL ALLEN, Braintree, perhaps as early as 1632, freeman 6 May 1635, by wife Ann, who died 29 September 1641, had Samuel, born about 1633; Mary; Sarah, 30 March 1639; and, by wife Margaret, whose father is unknown but who had been widow of Edward Lamb, had James; Abigail; Joseph, 15 May 1650; and perhaps one or two preceding. His will of 2 August 1669, as probated 16 September following. Mary married 24 January 1656, Nathaniel Greenwood; Sarah married Josiah Standish of Duxbury, as his second wife and Abigail married 1670, the second John Cary of the same.

SAMUEL ALLEN, Windsor 1636, was not, probably brother of that Matthew Allen, who wrote his name Allyn, as sometimes supposed though he spelled the same way, had Samuel, Nehemiah, John, and Rebecca, besides two others. He was buried 28 April 1648, and his widow married William Hulbert, and with her children removed to Northampton.

SAMUEL ALLEN, Northampton 1657, son of the preceding, married 29 November 1659, Hannah Woodford, daughter of Thomas Woodford, had Hannah, born 4 February 1661; Thankful, 15 July 1663; Sarah, 28 July 1668; Joseph, 20 November 1672; Samuel, 6 July 1675; Ebenezer, 21 July 1678; Thomas, February 1681; and Mindwell, 4 February 1683, besides two of unknown names; was freeman 1683, and died 18 October 1719, more than 80 years old. His son Deacon Samuel Allen, who married 1699, Sarah Rust, was grandfather of Reverend Thomas Allen, Yale College 1762, one of whose sons is Reverend Dr. William Allen, of Northampton, Harvard College 1802, late President of Bowdoin college, and a laborious author of the American Biographical Dictionary Ed. 3, publ. 1857.

SAMUEL ALLEN, Bridgewater, son of Samuel Allen the first, married about 1658, Sarah Partridge, daughter of George Partridge, had Samuel, born 1660; Asahel, perhaps meant by the strange record Essiel, 1663; Mehitable, 1665; Sarah, 1667; Bethia, 1669; Nathaniel, 1672; Ebenezer, 1674; Josiah, 1677; Elisha, 1679; and Nehemiah, 1681; and died 1703, when his age is made 71. He was careful town clerk praised by Mitchell, and Representative 1693. descendants are very many.

SAMUEL ALLEN, Manchester, had, probably son of the same name, for in the petition from that town, as the head of a Committee. In Genealogical Registrar X. 322, appears Samuel with suffix of senior.

SAMUEL ALLEN, Sudbury, married Elizabeth Grout, daughter of John Grout, had five children provided for in the will of their grandfather, as father had died, and his widow married Lieutenant John Livermore, by that will called son in law.

SAMUEL ALLEN, Portsmouth, the royal Governor of New Hampshire, was a merchant of London, late in coming to our country, may for his progeny claim no place in this work. However he had wife Elizabeth, son Thomas, and daughter Elizabeth, who married Lieutenant Governor John Usher, and three other daughters died 5 May 1705, only two days after the Representative of New Hampshire had offered him proposals that necessarily implied the spuriousness of the great Indian deed to Wheelwright of 1629. See Farmer's Ed. of Belknap I. 162, 3.

THOMAS ALLEN, Charlestown, son of John Allen, born at Norwich, County Norfolk, 1608, bred at Gonville and Caius colleges in the University of Cambridge, where he took his degree A.B. 1627-8 and A.M. 1631, came in 1638, and joined the church of Boston 27 January 1639, then called "a student", was invited June following to Charlestown, there some time before had married Ann Sadler, daughter of the Reverend Mr. Sadler of Patcham in County Sussex, presumed by me to have been widow of blessed John Harvard, his predecessor as colleague with Reverend Zechariah Symmes. In his Ecclesiastic Annals I. 379, Mr. Felt makes her accompany Allen, as his wife, but this seems highly improble as the wife would naturally have united with our children soon after her husband, if not at the same time, whereas no female member of the name of Allen was recorded into the Boston church for a long time after he had been settler at Charlestown, except a maiden Elizabeth Allen, 24 March 1639 who two years after marrying Reverend Samuel Stone of Hartford. Before the coming of Allen, we know from the History of the first church at Charlestown, by Budington, page 247, where begins the invaluble catalogue, that "John Harvard and Ann Harvard his wife" joined that church 6 November 1637. From the History of Harvard college it is known that Allen was admistrator on estate of Harvard, and paid the moneys bequeathed, so that it can hardly be doubted that the judgment of Felt was at fault, especially as, a few pages earlier, the diligent author had noted, that Harvard's widow was "supposed to have married Reverend Thomas Allen." His children were Mary, born 31 January baptized probably 23 February 1640; Sarah, 8 August 1641, died in April following; Elizabeth, 17 September 1643, died in few days; and Mercy, 13 August 1646, died in few days. The record of baptisms for many years after 1640, is lost. In 1651 he went home, and served at the same altar of St. Edmunds, in his native city, where he had officiated before coming hither; when worried out of his diocese, 1636, by Bishop Wren; and again he suffered in the general ejectment of 1662; yet was with much affection sustained by the worshippers at a dissenting chapel, as long as such was tolerated. For a second wife he had Joanna, widow of Major-General Robert Sedgwick, who had been drawn to England by partiality of Oliver Cromwell for men from this quarter. She had been of his flock at Charlestown, and probably bore him no children and we hear of no sons but Thomas Allen, who was of Lincoln's Inn some time, but resided at Norwich 1692. The father died 21 September 1673. See Frothingham, Budington, 3 Massachusetts History Collections VIII. 317, and Berry's Geneal. sub voce Sadler.

WALTER ALLEN, Newbury 1640, there had Abigail, born 1 October 1641; and Benjamin, 16 April 1647; and no more is to be seen in Coffin. Certainly he removed to Watertown, and by wife Rebecca, had others, as John, and Daniel (probably son of the first wife), who lived at Sudbury, besides Joseph, perhaps all before 1657; and after death of his wife he went to Charlestown, there married 29 November 1678, Abigail Rogers, and died 8 July 1681.

WILLIAM ALLEN, Salem 1626, Company of Conant, required administration 19 October 1630, and was made freeman 18 May following, had Samuel, born 8 January 1632; Deborah, baptized 23 April 1637; Bethia 19 January 1640; Onesiphorus, born 6 June 1642; William, baptized 31 May 1646; and Jonathan, 29 July 1643; but of these only the first came by the first wife as she died March 1632; and though the name of Elizabeth, is given by Felt among the earliest church members, he could not mark whether she were wife of William, much less, whether first or second. By a deposition he gave 1664, it is judged that he was born about 1602. His will of 7 June 1678 named wife Elizabeth, and the three elder sons only; and he died 30 January following.

WILLIAM ALLEN, Newbury, named by Coffin as of Salem 1638, but no support can be found for any other, so early, than him who had then occupied there for twelve years, and probably he is more correct in placing him at Salisbury from 1639 to 50 ; married Ann Goodale, daughter of Richard Goodale, had Ann, born 4 January 1640; Hannah, 17 June 1642; Mary, 29 July 1644; Martha, 1646; John, 9 October 1648; William, 2 October 1650; Benjamin, 1652; Joseph, 13 October 1653; Richard, 8 November 1656; Ruth, 19 February 1658; and Jeremiah, 17 February 1659. In Salisbury he is commonly named with prefix of respect as Mr., and he died 18 June 1686. His will, of 16 September 1674, with codicil 7 November 1676, names wife Ann, who died end of May 1678, sons John, William, Benjamin, Richard, and Jeremiah; daughters Abigail Wheeler, Hannah Ayer, Mary Hewes, and Martha Hubbard. His widow Alice died 1 April 1687. Hannah married 8 October 1659, Peter Ayer.

WILLIAM ALLEN, Concord, died October 1659. He had married the widow of Thomas Atkinson of Concord, but probably had no children, and administration on his estate was given to John Hayward, who had married the eldest daughter of Atkinson.

WILLIAM ALLEN, Sandwich, son probably of George Allen the first, married 21 March 1650, Priscilla Browne.

WILLIAM ALLEN, Boston, made his will, 15 December 1674, and died soon. In it he gives all his property in hands of Jonathan Tyng, or elsewhere, to Lydia, wife of John Benjamin of Watertown, from which Bond seems to be justly authorized to infer, that Lydia was his daughter, but it may be doubted, for on 26 of next month John Benjamin renounced the benefit of the will. She may have been his sister for the will does not call her daughter, nor can I find any children on Boston records of births, but sister or daughter, probably the value of his goods was very small.

WILLIAM ALLEN, Salisbury son of William Allen of the same, married 5 July 1674, Mary Harris, daughter of John Harris of Rowley, had William, born 30 June 1675, died young; Stitson, 29 January 1677; Ann, 3 May 1678; William, again, 14 June 1680; Abigail, 2 July 1683; Judith, 17 January 1687, died at 16 years; Dorothy, 12 August 1688; and Mary, 1 December 1692, died at 10 years. He died 10 May 1700. How often the names of Allin, Allyn, Alling, or Alleyne, with several variations may be found with the same letters as the foregoing, is beyond enumeration. With this spelling are found 27 graduates at Harvard, 10 at Yale, and 8 at Dartmouth, besides 37 at other colleges of New England, as Farmer saw.

ISAAC ALLERTON, one of the pilgrims in the Mayflower, at Plymouth, 1620, at one time the richest of the county, was an Assistant 1621, the sole officer for three years under the Governor. He brought wife Mary, who was called Collins, from Newbury, County Berks, married at Leyden, 4 November 1611, the same day that his widow’s sister married there Digory Priest; three children Bartholomew, Remember, and Mary. His wife died 25 February after landing, and he married 1626, Fear Brewster, daughter of Elder William Brewster, by whom he had Isaac Allerton, Harvard College 1650; and probably no more. This wife died 1633, and when he lived at New Haven, 1646, he had third wife Joanna, who is honored after death of her husband as having given shelter to the regicides, Goffe and Whalley, though with the usual felicity of tradition the merit was ascribed to her granddaughter (then a small child), and lived to 1684. As agent for the County he went to England three or four times, but gave no satisfaction in the latter visit; and on his private business was obliged to go, more than once, of all which large statement is seen in the History of Bradford. In 1643, the Dutch, with whom he had passed some years having lost the confidence of his early friends before 1631, would employ him, with Underhill, to raise from the English, a force for their protection against the Indians, but soon after he was settled at New Haven, and there died 1659, insolvent. Largely he had speculated at the Eastward and soon after dismissed from the Plymouth agency, had a trading-house at Machias, destroyed 1633 by the French, met various disasters by shipwrecks of his fishing vessels, in prosecution of which business he sometime was engaged at Marblehead, and joined Salem church 1647; but seems almost always unlucky. His eldest son Bartholomew Allerton married and lived in England, as Bradford first taught us; Remember married Moses Maverick of Salem; and Mary married Elder Thomas Cushman, and died 1699, the last survivor of the blessed band of the first ship, for which we may feel sufficiently esteemed without accepting the report of her being "over 90 years old." Sarah was the name often ascribed to Maverick's wife and Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrims, Russell's Guide to Plymouth, the accuser of Judge Davis, in his Ed. of Morton's Memor. of Dr. Bacon in 3 Massachusetts History Collections VII. 243, and of Cushman in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 265-70, are all subject to no little correction since the contemporary History of Bradford has been brought to light.

ISAAC ALLERTON, New Haven, son of the preceding, and the only child named in the will of his father, though as the testator had not a shilling to give, the omission of other children need not be regretted. For his father's widow Isaac Allerton purchased the portion of the domicil that the law would not give, and bestowed it on her for life, remain to his eldest daughter Elizabeth, born 27 Sept 1653. His only other child was Isaac, born 11 June 1655, who died probably before his father and without issue. The father is thought to have removed shortly after 1660, and Hutchinson in his History II. 461 speaks, as if there were male offspring in Maryland, at his day. The wife’s name is not heard of, but the daughter married 23 December 1675, Benjamin Starr, and next 22 July 1679, Simon Eyre the third.

JOHN ALLERTON, Plymouth 1620, a sailor of the Mayflower, had made up his mind to partake the lot of the pilgrims as he signed the compact in Cape Cod harbor, but he died before the ship sailed on her home voyage.

GILES ALLEY, Lynn, of who we know no more but that, in September 1668, he was called 42 years of age.

HUGH ALLEY, Lynn, who may have been elder brother of the preceding, came in the Abigail, 1635, from London, aged 27, had Mary, born 6 January 1642; John, 30 November 1646; Martha, 31 July 1649; Sarah, 15 April 1651; Hugh, 15 October 1653; Solomon, 2 August 1656, one of the killed at Bloody Brook, 18 September 1675, in the Company of Lothrop, called "the flower of Essex;" Hannah, I June 1661; and Jacob, 5 September 1663; died 25 January 1674. His will of 2 January in that year, and the widow Mary took administration, Mary married 6 June 1667, John Lindsay; Sarah married August 1668, Eleazer Lindsay; and Martha married 1 April 1671, James Mills.

HUGH ALLEY, Lynn, son of the preceding, married 9 December 1681, Rebecca Hood, had Solomon, born 11 October 1682; Jacob, 28 January 1684; Eleazer, 1 November 1686; Hannah, 16 August 1689; Richard, 31 July 1691; Joseph, 22 June 1693; and Benjamin, 24 February 1696.

JOHN ALLEY, Lynn, eldest brother of the preceding, married 15 August 1670, Joanna Furnell, had Sarah, born 15 April 1671; Mary, 25 April 1673; John, January 1676; Hannah, 22 January 1680; Rebecca, 28 May 1683; Hugh, 15 February 1686; and William, 14 July 1688; besides two daughters more, who probably died young.

PHILIP ALLEY, Boston, died 1655 perhaps, for 7 December of that year his widow Susanna, who took administration the next week, had married William Pitts. See Ally. Strangely is this name converted to Aealy by that volume usually supposed to be a recorded in our City Register's office, corrected transcription for Genealogical Registrar XI. 201, the first two letters being a diphthong. What sanctity should be attributed to the official exemplar may easily be known by the flagrant case of falsehood on the very next page of the same Volume, where it is also correct copy, asserted that a marriage was solemnized by John Winthrop Governor, 5 November 1657, when that magistrate had been near nine years entombed.

EDWARD ALLEYNE, Dedham 1636, one of the founders of the church 8 November 1638, freeman 13 March following with prefix of respect, at the same time with his pastor, Reverend John Allin, spelt with e in the last syllable to whom he may have had near relationship. He was Representative four years 1639-42, and on 8 September of this last year died at Boston. on attending in the General Court. so suddenly that his will was nuncupative, probably he had no wife or children for his estate was given by him to kinsmen John Newton, and Edward Allen.

EDWARD ALLEYNE, Boston 1677, of whom I am not able to say, whether he was the devisee in the will of the preceding. In 1697 he kept a shop at Hartford, had wife Lydia, children Edward, and Martha.

EDWARD ALLEYNE at Hartford married Rachel Steele, daughter of James Steele, had John, born 4 March 1690; and Rachel, 20 August 1694.

JOHN ALLIN, Dedham, the first minister (formerly by me thought erronnous to be son of Robert Allin of Horley in County Oxford, matriculated at Magdalen college 27 June 1623, in his 18th year, whereas it seems much more likely that he was of Cambridge University) came over in 1637, was freeman 13 March 1639, ordained 24 April following. From the date of his birth 1596, and of the entrance of Bishop Wren upon his diocese 1635, Brook, in Lives of the Pur. III. 456, concludes, that he had been a preacher at Ipswich in Suffolk, and some reason for conjecture that he was of Surlingham in Norfolk is found by Dr. Lamson, his successor at Dedham in our day. His actual service however, had been at Wrentham, County Suffolk, about 30 miles North East from Ipswich. When I examined the Register of the University of Oxford, it did not occur to me, that the age given him at matriculation must have been too small by 10 years, and it is very clear that the Oxford school was not our John, but of a different family and fate also. Margaret, his wife died April 1653; and by her we know of no children except John Allin, born at Wrentham 13 October 1623, Harvard College 1643, of course he was not, as Farmer surmised "sent hither from England to obtain an education", but brought by his father. For second wife he took 8 November 1653, Catharine, widow of Governor Thomas Dudley, deceased 31 July preceding, and she had first been widow of Samuel Hackburne, had Daniel Allin, born 5 August 1656, Harvard College 1675; Benjamin; and Eleazer. He was of high esteem for learning, and died 26 August 1671, in his will, made three days before, probated five days after, mentioned his son John, as "educated in learning" and "now of England" Of the youngest two sons nothing is heard; and not much of Daniel, who was librarian short time in 1677, took his A.M. 1678, lived at Charlestown, mortgaged his Dedham estate to John Richards, and died 1692. See Worthington, 47-9; and Lamson's Centu. Discourses.

JOHN ALLIN, Dedham, son of the preceding, born in England, went home, was vicar of Rye in County Sussex, whence being ejected 1662, for nonconformity, he went to London, there practised medicine with much success during the great plague of 1665, and was supposed by William Winthrop in his MS catalogue to have died, but we have plenary evidence in his own letters to friends at Rye, (in one of which is mentioned of the death of his father in New England) coming down to March 1674, that he continued in the service of humanity at London.

WILLIAM ALLIN, administered freeman 18 May 1642, is of no certain residence, and the name spelled with single l and final e.

FRANCES ALLING, Roxbury, died 1 December 1692, of whom no more is known to me, but that the town record of his burial on the same day, spells Allen.

JAMES ALLING, Salisbury son of Roger Alling, was the third minister there, coming as successor to Wheelwright, married 1688, Elizabeth Cotton, daughter of Reverend John Cotton of Plymouth, had Joanna, born 5 March 1690; Mary, 10 April 1692; and Elizabeth, 2 September 1694; and he died 3 March 1695. His widow married 14 March 1699, Reverend Caleb Cushing, his successor in the same pulpit.

JOHN ALLING, New Haven, married 14 October 1652, Ellen Bradley, had, besides the six children given him under the name of Allen (became his proof of taking oath of fidelity in April 1654 follows that spelling which in the earlier list of July 1644 made no distinction between Allen and Alling, using only the first name), Samuel, born 24 March 1670; and Martha, June 1623, who died young; and he died 1691, early, as the inventory is of 26 March. His will of 6 May 1689, names the two sons John, and Samuel, and daughters Elizabeth, who had married John Hopson of Guilford, as his third wife, Lydia, who had married a Wilcocks, and was dead, so that her children, his grandchildren Hannah Scranton, and Mary Guttridge should have her share, and Sarah, then unmarried but who married 7 July 1691, Samuel Atwater. He is called senior in the list of proprietors 1685.

JOHN ALLING, New Haven, not son of the preceding, though called junior, but son of Roger Alling of the same, married 11 January 1672, Susanna Coe, daughter of Robert Coe of Stratford, had Abigail, born 23 November 1673; Susanna, 16 March 1676, died young; Hannah, 23 May 1678; Mary, 14 September 1680; Jonathan, 13 October 1683, Sarah, 29 August 1685; Ebenezer, 22 November 1687; Stephen, 4 March 1690; and Susanna, 3 October 1693.

JOHN ALLING, New Haven, son of the first John Alling, married 20 March 1689, Abigail Grannish, daughter of Edward Grannish, had Abigail, born 9 January following; Mary, 26 Aug;. 1693; Elijah; and Hezekiah; and had perhaps by second wife John, 1 October 1726; and Christopher, 29 August 1735.

ROGER ALLING, New Haven, at the very beginning of the settlement 1639, signed the compact, married Mary Nash, daughter eldest child of Thomas Nash of the same, had Mary, baptized 26 November 1643; Samuel, perhaps born not baptized (as the Nash family page 19, has it) 4 November 1645; John (not baptized as the little volume tells, but perhaps born), 2 October 1647; Sarah, perhaps baptized 11 (certainly not 12, which was Monday, as given in the book); Elizabeth and Susanna, said to be not recorded (perhaps both died soon), leaving us to suppose that those preceding had recorded evidence of baptisms to which wrong dates are appended, and James Alling, said to be born 24 June 1657, and this may be correct, Harvard College 1679; was sergeant and Deacon and treasurer of the Colony 1661 and some years after, died 27 September 1674. In his will, which was nuncupative, he names only five children and directs, that James be brought up to learning. His widow Mary, who in her will of 17 July 1682, names the same five children, died 16 August 1683. At New Haven the family long remained.

SAMUEL ALLING, New Haven, son of Roger Alling, married 24 October 1667, Elizabeth Winston, daughter of John Winston, had Samuel, born 16 October 1668; John, 27 March 1671; James, 29 July 1673; Roger, 9 December 1670, died young; Roger, again, 28 July 1677; Theophilus, 17 February 1680; and Daniel; and his wife died 8 December 1682. By second wife Sarah Chedsey, daughter of John Chedsey, married 26 October 1683, had Caleb, Sarah, 17 January 1686; Elizabeth, November 1691; and Esther, 10 June 1697. He was a proprietor 1685, died 28 August 1707 or 1709; and the ten children were living 1709.

SAMUEL ALLING, New Haven, son of the first John Alling, had Elizabeth, born 29 December 1691; and Joseph, 29 March 1694.

JOHN ALLIS, Hatfield, son of William Allis, married 14 December 1669, Mary Meakins, widow of Nathaniel Clark, daughter of Thomas Meakins, had Joseph, born 1670; Abigail, 25 February 1672; Hannah, 9 October 1673; Ichabod, 10 July 1675; Eleazer, 23 July 1677; Elizabeth, 4 April 1679; Lydia, 15 August 1680, died 1691; John, 10 May 1682; Rebecca, 16 April 1683; William, 16 May 1684; Mary, 25 August 1687, died within 8 months; and Nathaniel; but the oldest and the youngest are not on record. Ten of these were living 1705. He was a Captain and carpenter, employed in building many churches, died January 1691. His widow married Samuel Belden, senior.

JOSEPH ALLIS, Hadley, signer of the petition against imposts 1668, was not son of William Allis.

RICHARD ALLIS, 22 June 1632, took oath of allegiance in London before embarking in the Lion, which arrived at Boston 16 September following. But where he ever lived in our country is unknown. Perhaps he went first to Roxbury, as did several of his fellow passengers, and if the discovery be ever made, I shall feel no surprise at finding that he is the same as R. Ellis of Dedham.

SAMUEL ALLIS, Hadley, 1668, son of William Allis, by wife Alice, had Mehitable, born 2 July 1677; Samuel, 20 February 1679; William, 19 October 1680; Mary, 6 July 1682; Thomas, 1684; Rebecca, 1687; and Sarah; and he died 1691. All the seven children were living 1704. Their mother the widow of Allis married John Hawks, and was (with most of her husband's family) killed at the destruction by the French and Indians of Deerfield, 29 February 1704.

WILLIAM ALLIS, Braintree, had grant from Boston of twelve acres for three heads, was freeman 13 May 1640, by wife Mary, had John, born 5 March 1642; Samuel, 24 February 1647; Josiah, who died 15 October 1651; Josiah, again, 20 October 1651; William, 10 January 1653, who died at 9 months; William, again, 10 January 1656; besides two daughters, Hannah, who married 1670, William Scott; and Mary, who died unmarried 1690; removed to Hadley 1661, on the west side of the river now Hatfield; was selectman 1662, Lieutenant of the cavalry, a Deacon, and his wife died 1677. He married 25 June 1678, widow Mary Graves, made his will 2 September at Hartford, 4 days before his death 1678. His widow Mary Brownson, daughter of John Brownson, whose second husband John Graves, was killed so shortly before as 19 September 1677, had in 1668 been widow of John Wyatt, and was happy to gain for fourth husband Samuel Gaylord, married 1682. His son William Allis was killed in the Falls fight, 19 May 1676. Sometimes his name appears Allice.

JOHN ALLISET, or JOHN ALLESET, Boston, by wife Grace, had Elizabeth, born 19 January 1684; Grace, 24 May 1686; Elizabeth, again, 5 July 1688; and Deliverance, 12 October 1695.

JAMES ALLISON, Boston 1644, by wife Christian, had James, born 20 October 1650; and John, who died 2 April 1653.

RICHARD ALLISON, Braintree. See Ellison, which may be a distortion of this; but in New Hampshire continued the name Allison.

ADAM ALLOTT, Newbury, a tailor, came in the Bevis, 1638, from Southampton, aged 19 in the service of Richard Dummer; but no more is told of him.

JOHN ALLT, or JOHN AULT, Portsmouth, 1631, sent out by John Mason, the patentee of New Hampshire, lived at Dover most of his days after 1640, in 1679 was 73 years old. His wife was Remembrance; children John; Remembrance, who married John Rand; and a daughter who married Thomas Edgerly. Sometimes the name is Olt.

JACOB ALLY, Charlestown, by wife Ann, had five children whose names are not seen, 1687, and onwards.

ROGER ALLY, Charlestown, with wife Jane, were recorded into the church at Charlestown from Weymouth 20 November 1659.

THOMAS ALLY, Newbury, married 9 February 1672, Sarah Silver, daughter of Thomas Silver; was taxed at Rowley 1691, though no connection is seen, the name may be of the same family as Alley.

JOHN ALLYN, Hartford, son of Matthew Allyn, born in England, married 19 November 1651, Ann Smith, daughter of Henry Smith of Springfield, granddaughter of William Pynchon, had Ann, born 18 August 1654; Mary, 3 April 1657; Margaret, 29 July 1660; Rebecca, 2 March 1665, died young; Martha, 27 July 1667; and Elizabeth, 1 December 1669. By second wife Hannah Lamberton, daughter of George Lamberton, widow of Samuel Welles of Wethersfield, I suppose, he had no children. He was many years Secretary of the Colony after 1657, when he was Lieutenant, rose to be Colonel, an Assistant in 1662, and many years following, and of the council under Sir Edmund Andros in 1687, and died 6 November 1696, leaving large estate to the five daughters. Ann married 1676, as his second wife Joseph Whiting of Hartford; Mary married 6 October 1686, Colonel William Whiting; Margaret married about 1684, William Southmayd of Middletown, as his second wife; Martha married 3 January 1684, Aaron Cooke the third; and Elizabeth married 21 December 1704, as his second wife Alexander Allen of Windsor; and next John Gardiner of Gardiner's Island. Increase Mather includes, in his Relat. of Indians Wars, the account of the troubles preceding and during that with the Pequots, written by Allyn, filling 19 of his pages.

JOHN ALLYN, New London, only son of Robert Allyn, married 24 December 1668, Elizabeth Gager, daughter of John Gager, had Elizabeth, born 24 December 1669; and Robert, about middle of September 1671. He had helped in the settlement of Norwich, but after death of his father went to New London, there died 1709.

JOHN ALLYN, Barnstable, son of Thomas Allyn, married Mary Howland, had John, born 3 April 1671; Mary, 5 August 1675, died young; Matthew, 6 August 1677, died young; Isaac, 8 November 1679; and he removed with his family.

MATTHEW ALLYN, Cambridge 1632, was perhaps son of Samuel Allyn of Chelmsford, County Essex, freeman 4 March 1635, Representative at March General Court 1636, removed probably next year to Hartford, thence in few years to Windsor, for which he was Representative 1648 to 57, Assistant 1658 to 67, and chosen Commissioner for United Colonies 1660 and 4, died 1 February 1671. His children were all probably born in England, John, Thomas, and Mary, who married 11 June 1646, Benjamin Newberry, and his will of 30 January 1671 names these and the grandchildren Mary, daughter of Newberry. His son Samuel died 1648. Commonly in his autography, the name has y, but high authority assures me, that it is not always so; and in the record and printed books, it is nearly as often seen with e as without.

MATTHEW ALLYN, Windsor, son of Thomas Allyn, and grandson of the preceding, married 5 January 1686, Elizabeth Wolcott, eldest daughter of the third Henry Wolcott, had Matthew, born 9 August 1687; Pelatiah, 3 May 1689; Josiah, 9 March 1693; Thomas; Henry, 16 December 1699, and Theophilus, 26 August 1702.

OBADIAH ALLYN, Middletown, propounded for freeman October 1672, administered next year, married 28 October 1669, Elizabeth Sanford, daughter of Thomas Sanford of Milford, had Obadiah, born 20 September 1670; Thomas, 20 September 1672, died in few weeks; Thomas, again, 27 September 1673; Mary, 15 September 1684; Ann, 12 September 1677; Thankful, 8 September 1679; Samuel, 15 March 1684; and John, 27 September 1686; was Deacon, and died 7 April 1712. Probably he was nephew of the first Thomas Allyn, and the descendants have generally changed the spelling to Allen.

ROBERT ALLYN, Salem, 1637, administered of the church 15 May 1642, had John, and Sarah there baptized Sunday following; and Mary, 19 November 1648; in 1658 removed to New London, and to the then adjoining town of Norwich at its first settlement 1659; but, high as is her authority on such a point, I hesitate to adopt Miss Caulkins's opinion that, intermediate between Salem and New London, he was of Saybrook, though honored with the office of constable at Norwich 1669, he went back to New London, and there died 1683, where part of his farm preserves in the harbor the name of Allyn's point. Other children besides those at Salem he had, as Hannah and Deborah, both probably at New London, Sarah married 17 February 1659, George Geer; Hannah married Thomas Rose; and Deborah was unmarried at death of father.

SAMUEL ALLYN, Barnstable, son of Thomas Allyn of the same, married 10 May 1661, Hannah Walley, daughter of Reverend Thomas Walley, had Thomas, born 22 March 1665; Samuel, 19 January 1667; Joseph, 7 April 1671; Hannah, 4 March 1673; and Elizabeth, 26 November 1681, who died at 17 years. Was Representative three years 1682-4. His wife died 23 October 1711, and he died 25 November 1726.

THOMAS ALLYN, Wethersfield 1636, not migrated from Watertown, for Bond has not named him, was brother of Matthew Allyn, with whom he had extraordinary controversary in the law, as is fairly inferred from Trumbull's Colony record I. 211, was made freeman 1652, Representative 1656; and soon after died as might be concluded from not seeing his name as Representative in any year subsequent, nor in the list of freeman for that town 1669; yet he may have removed to Middletown, as no list of that sort is found from that place in Trumbull, and one of the name there was Deacon, who died 16 October 1688, having had no children, but leaving widow Martha, perhaps, who had been widow of Roger Jepson, and died 1690. She calls, in her will, Obadiah Allyn of Middletown cousin. Y not e is seen in his last syllable, though in his baptismal record April 1604 (if he were son of Samuel of Chelmsford County Essex), the spelling is the other way.

THOMAS ALLYN, Barnstable, had Samuel, born 10, baptized 18 February 1644; John, baptized 27 September 1646; and Mehitable, baptized 26 November 1648; and he died November 1680, at grand age. Mehitable married 1 June 1667, Samuel Annable of the same. His first wife was named Winifred; the second was a widow but surnames are not found.

THOMAS ALLYN, Windsor, son of Matthew Allyn of the same, perhaps born in England, married 21 October 1658, Abigail Warham, daughter of Reverend John Warham, had John, born 17 August 1659, who died young; Matthew, 5 January 1661; Thomas, 11 March 1663; John, again, 24 June 1665; Samuel, 3 November 1667; Jane, 22 July 1670; Abigail, 17 October 1672; Sarah, 13 July 1674; Esther, 29 January 1676; and Benjamin, 1680. He was made freeman 1659, and esteemed in the military service in which he rose to be Captain, and died 14 February 1696.

THOMAS ALLYN, Windsor, son of the preceding, married 6 January 1686, Martha Wolcott, second daughter of Simon Wolcott, who had Martha, born 1 September, lived only two days, and the mother lived only four days more, for she died 7 September of next year, and in any other particulars nothing is known.

WILLIAM ALLYN, Stonington, had John, George, Jane, and Elizabeth, to which on his death 7 September 1671, he left his property speaking of his wife as if she lived near Barnstaple in Devonshire. For the deficiencies of this article, and the difficulty of determining between Allyn, and Allen, and Allyne, or Alleyne, I must confess, that, after long research, satisfaction is unattained in several cases, so many individuals have, perhaps capriciously at various times, written their family names in different ways.

CHRISTOPHER ALMY or CHRISTOPHER ALMOND, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, son of William Almy, born in England, was an Assistant 1690.

JOB ALMY or JOB ALMOND, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, brother of the preceding, by wife Mary Unthank, daughter of Christopher Unthank of Warwick, had William and Christopher, twins, Susanna, Audrey, Deborah, Catharine, and Mary, and perhaps minors, when he died 1684.

JOHN ALMY or JOHN ALMOND, Plymouth 1643, perhaps brother of the preceding, married Mary Cole, daughter of James Cole, removed to Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Was a Captain in Philip's war, 1675, as named in Church's Mem. 53, and died 1676.

WILLIAM ALMY or WILLIAM ALMOND, Lynn, perhaps as early as 1631, went home, and came again, 1635, in the Abigail, aged 31, with wife Audrey, 32, and children Annis, 8; and Christopher, 3; removed 1637, probably to Sandwich, and certainly was freeman of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1655. His will names children Christopher, John, Job, Ann, wife of John Green, and Catharine, wife of Bartholomew West.

DANIEL ALSOP, or DANIEL ALSUP, New Haven, youngest son of Joseph Alsop the first, died 11 January 1689, unmarried. He was a sea Captain.

GEORGE ALSOP, or GEORGE ALSUP, Milford 1667, died about 1680; but was not constant resident there, and notice of wife or children is not found, so that probably he never married. Perhaps Elizabeth Alsop, member of the church at Milford in February 1643, was his sister, for Sylvanus Baldwin, her son born some years after her marriage that year with Richard Baldwin calls himself "near kinsman" of George Alsop.

JOSEPH ALSOP, or JOSEPH ALSUP, New Haven, had come, at the age of 14, to Boston in the Elizabeth and Ann, 1635, from London, went to New Haven early, took oath of fidelity in 1644, before 1647 married Elizabeth Prestol, the eldest daughter of William Prestol, had Joseph; Elizabeth, born 22 June 1650; Sarah, 8 September 1652, but by church record worthy of very little reward, 15 September 1651; Mary, 3 October 1654; Abigail, 4 September not as church record says 4 November 1656; all baptized 26 April 1657; Hannah, born 2 December 1659; John, 3 January 1662; Lydia, 26 July 1665; Daniel, 13 August 1667; and Jemima, 10 February 1670. He died 8 November 1698; and of the children this report is given Sarah, died probably unmarried 24 Jun. 1699; Mary married 2 November 1680, as his second wife John Miles; Abigail married 14 July 1680, John Rowe; Lydia married 8 November 1688, James Trowbridge; Elizabeth married Thomas Talmadge; and Jemina married 24 March 1692 John Paine. Hannah was a busy money making maiden, who was administrator of estate of her brother Daniel, and years after bought up the shares of her sister in the estate of her father, managed by her with much discretion. Haz. II. 247. She died unmarried.

JOSEPH ALSOP, or JOSEPH ALSUP, New Haven, eldest son of the preceding, married 25 November 1672, Abigail Thompson, daughter of John Thompson the first of the same, and died 12 January 1691. His will, of 1687, probated 16 February 1691, gave to his wife (who probably had no children) and his brothers John and Daniel, all his estate about 1490. His widow married 1694, John Miles.

KEY ALSOP, or KEY ALSUP, Boston 1668, merchant had wife Mary, who soon after his death married Captain William Turner, whose victory at the Falls fight, 1676, gave his name to the spot.

RICHARD ALSOP, or RICHARD ALSUP, Newtown, Long Island, 1686, by wife Hannah, had Thomas, born 7 September 1687; Richard; John; Hannah; Deborah; Amy; and Elizabeth; died October 1718, aged 58; but his widow who died 23 August 1757, was 90. He is supposed to have been brought in youth by his uncle Thomas Wardell of Newtown, who had no children, and have a large estate. See Riker's Annals of Newtown, 335.

THOMAS ALSOP, or THOMAS ALSUP, Stratford, who came in the Elizabeth and Ann from London, 1635, aged 20, I think must have been brother of Joseph Alsop of New Haven, as they came together, and the younger, in 1651, informed the Court that his brother without naming him, had died at Stratford, leaving some property and no more is known. It may be, that the father of these youths was that John Alsop, rated for a subsidy in 1598, to the same parish and at the same time with William Shakespeare, nor would it be very extravagant to presume, that he, too, went up to London from Stratford on Avon. See my notes on Edward Jackson.

THOMAS ALSOB, Salem village, was a soldier, killed by the Indians 16 July (unless 16 May be nearer the day of fight, and the other only date of record) 1690, with others at Casco. See Felt Annals II. 509. Yet Willis I. 205, referring to the same record, spelled the sufferer's name, as seems, at least, equally likely to be correct, Alsop. But I would gladly see his origin.

ALEXANDER ALVORD, Windsor, married 29 October 1646, Mary Vore, daughter of Richard Vore, or Richard Voar; had Abigail, b. 6 October 1617; John, 12 August 1649; Mary, 6 July 1651; Thomas, 27 October 1653; Elizabeth, 12 November 1655; Benjamin, 11 February 1658; and Sarah, 24 June, 1660; removed next year to Northampton, there had Jeremiah, 9 May 1663; Ebenezer, 23 December 1665; and Jonathan, 6 April 1669. His wife died before 1683, and he died 3 October 1687. His sister Joan married 6 May 1646, Amblose Fowler. Of his daughters Abigail married 1666, Thomas Root; Mary married 24 March 1670, John Weller; Elizabeth married 1684, Henry Burt; and Sarah married 10 July 1689, as his second wife James Warriner.

BENEDICT ALVORD, Windsor 1637, brother probably elder of the preceding, was a soldier in the Pequot war that year, married 26 November 1640, Joan Newton, had Jonathan, born 1 June 1645; Benjamin, 11 July 1647; Josias, 6 July 1649; Elizabeth, 21 September 1651; and Jeremy, 24 December 1655; and died 23 April 1683. His only daughter married 20 March 1672, Job Drake, and is named with only three brothers In the will of her father, one of the sons having died before him.

BENJAMIN ALVORD, New London, son of the preceding, died 12 August 1709, as in Genealogical Registrar XI. 27, Miss Caulkins gives the inscription on his gravestone; but, she adds, no descendants are found, and he is not named in her copious histories.

BENJAMIN ALVORD, Northampton, son of Alexander Alvord, married about 1690, Deborah Stebbins, daughter of John Stebbins of the same, and Abigail, born 1691; Elizabeth, September 1693; Benjamin, 1695; Deborah, May 1698; Experience, 5 October 1700; Jonah, 13 April 1704; Sarah, 28 May 1707; and he died 1715. His widow married 4 April 1716, Henry Burt of Springfield.

EBENEZER ALVORD, Northampton, brother of the preceding, married about 1692, Ruth Baker, daughter of Joseph Baker, had Ebenezer, born 24 August 1693, died young; Joseph, 1697; Mary, 24 June 1699; and Noah, 27 June 1701. His wife died 4 March 1706, and he married Elizabeth, who perhaps was a widow Bird, and had Ruth, 24 August 1710; James, 22 July 1712 died soon; Elizabeth, 7 September 1713, Rebecca, 25 October 1716, died soon; Rebecca, again, 10 February 1718; Ebenezer, again, 17 December 1720; Sarah, 1723, died soon; and Thomas, about 1725; and died 29 November 1738.

JEREMIAH ALVORD, Windsor, youngest son of Benedict Alvord, had Benedict, born 27 April 1688; Newton, 24 March 1690; Jeremiah, 8 May 1692; Jonathan, 1696, died young; Jane, 14 January 1699; Joanna, 1 March 1702; and Elizabeth, 22 November 1703, about next year, besides Elizabeth, again, 27 April 1706; and Job, 26 August 1708.

JEREMIAH ALVORD, Hatfield, son of Alexander Alvord, married at Deerfield, where he first removed from his native town, 1691, Mehitable Frary, widow of Hezekial Root, daughter of Sampson Frary of Deerfield, had Jeremiah, born 17 February 1692, died in few days; Jeremiah, again, 31 March 1694, who was drowned at 24 years; and Mary, 20 August 1696. His wife died 7 November following, and in few years he removed to Hatfield, there married Mary Gull, daughter of William Gull, had Elizabeth, 1703, died young; Elizabeth, again, 1705; Hannah, 1707; and Ebenezer, 1710, who died unmarried.

JOHN ALVORD, Northampton 1668, eldest son of Alexander Alvord, married Abigail Phelps, daughter of Nathaniel Phelps, had no children and the date of his death is not given. But his wife born 5 April 1655, died 26 August 1756, reckoned by the vulgar on the record with the common fondness for exaggeration in her 103rd year. She was the oldest person that ever died in Northampton, but exact truth, after the correction of old style, makes her age 101 years 4 months and 11 days.

JONATHAN ALVORD, Westfield, eldest son of Benedict Alvord, married 1681, Hannah Brown, had no children.

JONATHAN ALVORD, Northampton, youngest son of Alexander Alvord, married 12 January 1693, Thankful Miller, had Jonathan, born 9 April 1694, died at 9 years; John, 28 June 1696; Patience, 22 June 1701; Zebediah, 30 October 1705, died young; Mary, 21 July 1707; Thankful, 10 August 1709; and Jonathan, again, 16 November 1711; and died 1729.

JOSIAH ALVORD, Windsor, son of Benedict Alvord, removed to Simsbury, there had wife and family but particulars are unknown.

THOMAS ALVORD, Northampton 1678, son of Alexander Alvord, married 22 March 1681, Joanna Taylor, daughter of John Taylor of the same, had John, born 10 August 1682, died in few days; Thomas, 28 August 1683; John, again, 19 October 1685; and Josiah, 7 February 1688, died younger; and the father died 22 July 1688. His widow married 1690, Samuel King; and, next, 1702, Deliverance Bridgeman. Farmer notes graduates of this name, two at Yale, one at Dartmouth, and three at other New England colleges, none at Harvard in 1828.

ROGER AMADOWN, Salem 1637, Weymouth 1640, where by wife Sarah, he had Sarah, born 10 August of that year and, at Boston, Lydia, 27 April 1643; removed 1648 to Rehoboth, probably had several sons, and died 13 November 1673.

JOHN AMAZEEN, New Hampshire 1683, called John the Greek. Belknap I. 479. There are descendants.

JOHANNES AMBECK, JOHANNES AMBEEK, or JOHANNES AMBEECK, Hartford, married Mary Varleet, daughter of Caspar Varleet, had Judith, born 5 December 1654, and lived not many years. For the widow married 30 December 1658, Paulus Schrick. All the parties were Dutch, and probably confined in the very narrow space to which the English limited the earliest settlers their predecessors.

ABRAHAM AMBLER, Stamford, son of Richard Ambler, married 20 December 1662, Mary Bates, daughter of Robert Bates, had Mary, born 1 January 1664; Abraham, 5 January 1666; John, 18 February 1668; Joshua, 8 September 1670; Sarah, 1672; and others; but in his will, of 1699, mentioned only son John, daughter Mehitable, and three children of his deceased daughter. Brown with his second wife Hannah; required John to provide for his grandfather during life. He was freeman, a proprietor not only at Stamford, but at Bedford, a plantation to the North, now within the state of New York, and in 1686 was chief town officer there, Representative for Stamford in 1674.

RICHARD AMBLER, Watertown 1637, Weymouth (perhaps for short time) 1640, and Boston 1643, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 4 December 1639; Abraham, 27 September 1641, died very soon; and Abraham, again, 22 September 1642, all by Bond, given as at Watertown before 1650, removed to Stamford, there was freeman 1669, and living at grand age 1699.

HENRY AMBROSE, Hampton 1641, or earlier, had Samuel, baptized 25 July 1641; Ebenezer, 1643; Henry, born June 1649; was administered freeman 18 May 1642, lived at Boston 1654, Charlestown 1656, had Abigail, born 28 December 1654, was a carpenter, and probably worked at his trade in several places, certainly in 1650, at Salisbury, there not allowed as a commoner, yet died there 1658, and his property was considerable. His widow became second wife of John Severance. Abigail married October 1672 William Osgood.

HENRY AMBROSE, Salisbury, son of the preceding, married October 1672, Susanna, widow of Timothy Worcester, had Dorothy, born 21 September 1673; Nathaniel, 26 March 1675; died soon; and Nathaniel, again, 26 February 1677.

JOSHUA AMBROSE, of who we gladly would know the father and date of birth, was graduate at Harvard College 1653, went home, and was settled as minister at Darley in County Lancaster, where he conformed to the Church of England, at the time of ejectment had the honor of A.M. at Oxford, and is not marked in Mather's calalogue 1697, as dead. See Calamy, II. 419.

NATHANIEL AMBROSE, of unknown parentage, like the preceding, to whom perhaps he was brother, being graduate of Harvard College 1653, was sometimes connected with the college, probably as tutor, went home and was settled as minister at Kirkby in County Lancaster, whence in 1662, as non-conformist he was ejected. Calamy, II. 417.

SAMUEL AMBROSE, Salisbury, probably eldest son of the first Henry Ambrose, by wife Hope, had Abigail, born 1 April 1665; and Margaret, 12 August 1668; but no more is heard of him.

ROBERT EMRY, or ROBERT EMERY, took oath of fidelity 1 July 1644, by wife Mary, had Joseph, born 14 March 1650; and Mary, and John, probably earlier; removed to Stamford, there had Moses, born 1652; and died 21 July 1656. The widow next year married George Baldwin, or George Boldin of Westchester.

JOHN AMEREDITH, JOHN MERRYDAY, or JOHN MEREDITH, Kittery 1670, married Joanna Treworgye, daughter of James Treworgye, but what little is told of him may be seen in Genealogical Registrar V. 345-8. He was constable 1671, living 1685, and she, probably widow July 1688.

JOHN AMES, Duxbury, son of Richard Ames of Bruton, County Somerset, where, according to family documents, he was born 10 December 1610, married 20 October 1645, Elizabeth Hayward, removed to Bridgewater 1656, died 1698, leaving no issue, but gave the year preceding large estate to his nephew John, and his children. See Mitchell's History of Bridgewater.

JOHN AMES, Bridgewater, only son of William Ames of Braintree (not, as was once thought of the famous Franequer Professor William Ames), married Sarah Willis, daughter of John Willis, had John, born 14 April 1672; William, 6 November 1673; Nathaniel, 9 October 1677; Elizabeth, 6 September 1680; Thomas, 21 February 1682; Sarah, 12 October 168;5; David, 30 August 1688; and Hannah. Of the sons, the oldest and the youngest perhaps settled at New London, and Miss Caulkins in her History 264, lends countenance to the tradition. Though of John only does she speak of permanent residence 374; while of Nathaniel we know that he died 1736, and was father of that Nathaniel Ames, celebrated for success of his Almanacs many years and more for the superior eloquence of his son Fisher Ames, Harvard College 1774, the first Representative from Boston in the Federal Congress 1789.

WILLIAM AMES, Braintree, brother of John Ames the first, elder by family tradition, born 6 October 1605, came about 1638, by wife Hannah, had Hannah, born 12 May 1641; Rebecca, October 1642; Lydia, 2 June 1645; John, 24 May 1647; Sarah, 1 March 1651; and Deliverance, 6 February 1654; and he died one month and 5 days after. Hannah married 1660, John Hayden; and Sarah married Thomas Hayward of Bridgewater.

WILLIAM AMES, Cambridge, came in the Mary Ann of Great Yarmouth 1637, with his mother Joanne, widow of Reverend William, D.D. (who had proceeded A.B. 1607, at Christ's College Cambridge, and widely distinguished as Professor in theology in Holland, where he died 1633, in his 57th year); brother John Ames, and sister Ruth Ames, who is called 18 years old. See 4 Massachusetts History Collections I. 100. They lived first at Salem, but the mother died at Cambridge, whither she removed to encourage her son at his studies in the college, and there she was buried 23 December 1644. He was graduate in the following year, made freeman 1647, soon after went home, and in 1648 was settled as colleague at Wrentham in County Suffolk with his uncle, John Phillips, who had married a sister of his father, and was then a member of the Westminster Assembly near the close of their anxious labors of more than five and a half years. Before the Mayor and Aldermen of London, 5 November 1651, he preached the anniversary sermon on the gunpowder plot, at St. Pauls, and was ejected 1662, died 21 July 1689, in his 66th year. By his first wife Susanna, he had only Elizabeth, who married Robert Smith, a minister in the same church, who died in August 1705; and that wife was buried 6 January 1652. For second wife he took, 26 January 1653, Elizabeth Wales, had Ruth, and Philip, both died young; and this wife died 19 February 1683. These details are gathered from a History of the Congregational church at Wrentham in Old England by John Brown, 1854; and from Hunter in 3 Massachusetts History Collections X. 169. Probably his brother John Ames, who if we judge by order of names in the record of Wrentham, was the younger, went home with our scholar. Of this name nine had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard, none at Yale, one at Dartmouth, and three at other New England colleges, as Farmer found.

JOHN AMEY, or JOHN AMEE, Woburn 1649, by wife Martha Johnson, daughter of Edward Johnson, the historian, had Mary, born 27 February 1650; removed to Boston 1653, had John, 4 or 12 March 1654; Martha, 10 November 1655; and William, 24 March 1657; besides Martha, again, 23 February 1660. He was a ship carpenter.

WILLIAM AMEY, or WILLIAM AMEE, Lynn, in 1637, with others, had liberty to remove to begin settlement of Sandwich.

HUGH AMOS, Boston, freeman 1666, was of the 2nd church, had John, baptized there that year, perhaps removed to Norwich, where he had Mary, born January 1671; and Samuel, January 1673. These three children with another daughter Ann divided his estate in 1707. He lived on the east side of the river now Preston, and his name designates one of the beautiful ponds of that town.

ISAAC AMSDEN, Cambridge, married 8 June 1654, Frances Perriman, whose father is unknown, had Isaac, born 1656; and Jacob, 17 November 1657; both baptized 3 November 1661, the mother being administrator of the children few days before, and he died 7 Apr 1659, if we take Harris's Epit. 169, for conclusive; but we might judge from probated records where mention of administration given 25 June 1661, to his widow, that he had died only 19 days before the widow married 14 February 1663, Richard Cutter.

ISAAC AMSDEN, Cambridge, son of the preceding, married 17 May 1677, Jane Rutter, perhaps daughter of John Rutter of Sudbury, had Elizabeth, born 3 February following; Isaac, 29 August 1680; John 28 December 1685; Thomas, 9 January 1687; Jacob, 29 February 1688; and Abraham 15 October 1692, as supplied by a scrupulous writer in Genealogical Registrar XV. 21, though I feel compelled to change an impossible date.

JACOB AMSDEN, Cambridge, son of Isaac Amsden the first, died 11 June 1701, as we learn from Harris, 29, and anything else is learned from nobody.

JOHN AMSDEN, Hatfield, perhaps son of the first Isaac Amsden, by a wife before Frances, or even before he settled at Cambridge, or came from England, there this man lived ten years, but at Hatfield died 1696, leaving John and Isaac, of who the latter died young, and the former residence at Deerfield, where he was drowned 1742, and two of his sons were killed by the Indians 1746. Descendants may be found there. Matchless Mitchell spells the name Embsden.

ARCHIBALD ANDERSON, Lynn, employed at the iron works, came from Scotland, and died 13 August 1661.

DAVID ANDERSON, New Haven 1639, whipped for drunkenness, and not much better in 1641, as in Colony record I. 28 and 59 appears.

DAVID ANDERSON, Charlestown 1675, probably son of John Anderson of Boston, by wife Catharine Richardson, married 12 September 1679, had John, who died that year at 3 months; David, baptized 23 September 1677, perhaps a posthumous child, for his father died in May preceding on his way, as master of the ship Blessing, home from London. His first wife married 5 June 1667, was Hannah Nichols, who died 18 July 1671.

JOHN ANDERSON, Boston 1647, shipwright, permitted in 1652 to build a wharf, married 3 January 1655, I suppose for second wife Mary Hodges of Charlestown (a former wife Jane having died 4 May preceding, and his son Samuel, probably infant, died 10 July following), by her had Joanna, born 25 December following; and Ann, 5 May 1657; and he died 28 September 1677. We learn from his will of 3 days preceding, probated 31 October following, that he had elder child as Emma Anderson, who married 17 July 1655, John Brackenbury, afterwards married Joseph Lynde, and died 2 September 1703; Catharine, who married 19 July 1635, John Phillips, and died 24 February 1699; Mary, who as widow Lynde, married 27 July 1682, Reverend Thomas Shepard, and, next, Honorable Samuel Hayman, and was buried 20 August 1717; and Joanna Newman; but much uncertainity hangs over these two last daughters, i. e. what Lynde was husband of the former, what Newman of the latter, though much inquiry has been bestowed. He had also Henry, who died in England and left his property to the father.

JOHN ANDERSON, Ipswich 1665, whose inventory was rendered 3 May 1701, had been a soldier in the Province, served possibly, but not probably, he may have been one of the unhappy prisoners of the battle at Worcester, 3 September 1651 (that "crowning mercy" to Oliver Cromwell), of which 272 were shipped in November after, in the John and Sarah, from London, to be sold here, arriving in May following at Boston. besides this John, Alister, David, and William Anderson were victims of the same cruel policy in the same ship. Part of the prisoners of Dunbar, imported in the former year, had been well received as Cotton wrote to Cromwell, and sold for 6, 7, or 8 years servitude. Most of these unfortunate young men died of scurvy, or of broken hearts; and some of the exiles ran away, perhaps with good-will of their purchasers, so that not one in fifty of these soldiers that followed Charles II in the fatal fields of Dunbar and Worcester, and were sold in Boston, probably five hundred in number, lived to have families in our country.

JOHN ANDERSON, Salem 1673, a shipmaster, had been, perhaps, of Boston, 1655, and administered with wife, Mary, of the second church 1672.

ROBERT ANDERSON, in Massachusetts 6 June 1637 fined for contempt £50, which was soon remitted, may have been only a transient visitor. See Colony record I. 198,245.

WILLIAM ANDERSON, New Haven, took oath of fidelity 7 April 1657, but neither of himself, nor of Richard Anderson, who may have been his brother, is any more seen.

WILLIAM ANDERSON, Watertown, of who died, Bond found only, that he sat on a coroner's jury 26 July 1669. Graduates of this name up to 1828 Farmer found two at Harvard, two at Dartmouth, one at Yale, and eleven at the other colleges in New England, and New Jersey chiefly, I presume from the latter.

SAMUEL ANDREW, Cambridge, son of William Andrew of the same, born probably in England, married 27 September 1652 (when prefix of respect is given on the record), Elizabeth White, whose father is not known, and who died 24 January 1687, aged 57, had Samuel Andrew, born 29 January 1656, Harvard College 1675; William, June 1658; both baptized before Mitchell's Reg. begins; John, 2, baptized 10 March 1661, who died at 32 years; Elizabeth, baptized 12 April 1663; Thomas, 21 May 1665, died soon; Mary, 6 January 1667, died July following; Thomas, again, 29 March 1668; besides Jonathan, who died 8 May 1700, aged about 30; and Mary, again, who died 29 February 1672. He was often clerk, treasurer, and selectman, and died 21 June 1701, aged about 80. See the invaluble "Cambridge Church gathering," by Newell with appendix of Mitchell, and Harris's Epit. A person, "well skilled in mathematics" of this name, as is mentioned in Haz. I. 591, and Belknap I. 57, is supposed to be this Cambridge man. See Colony record III. 329 and 361.

SAMUEL ANDREW, eldest son of the preceding, was minister of Milford, ordained 15 November 1685, married Abigail Treat, daughter of Governor Robert Treat, who died 5 December 1727, had Samuel, and probably others, and died 21 January 1738. A second wife Abigail, died 9 September 1742. The name has a final s in the Connecticut record, but the Reverend owner rejected the addition; the church and town record of Cambridge admit the letter, though the indisputable authority of the Collections catalog deny, and discriminate yet in his Hecatompolis (chapter 7 of the Magnalia I.) Mather sanctifies the intrusion.

WILLIAM ANDREW, Cambridge, mariner, the freeman of 4 March 1634, by wife Mary, who died 19 January 1640, had Samuel, and perhaps other children and died before 1655.

WILLIAM ANDREW, Ipswich, was school master there, and in several other towns, may not have been brother of Reverend Samuel Andrew, and died 19 July 1683. But in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 19, the extract from the interleaving Almanac of Sewall, noticing this event is remarked diverse in the name from the careful writer on the Ipswich grade school in Genealogical Registrar VI. 69, which makes Thomas Andrews succeed famous Cheever in the school 1 August 1660, and teached 23 years, and died 10 July 1683. Vehemently do I suspect, that one or the other is mistaken, that only one man is intended and the date of death 10 or 19, easily reconciled. Of this name, without s in 1834, as Farmer marked, three had been graduates at Harvard, three at Yale, and one at some other New England college.

ABRAHAM ANDREWS, ABRAHAM ANDROWS (or ABRAHAM ANDROS, sometimes), often ABRAHAM ANDROS, Fairfield, son perhaps of Francis Andrews, removed to Waterbury, had eight children: Rebecca, born 1672; Mary, 1674; Hannah, 1678; Abraham, 1680; Sarah, baptized 9 March 1684; Rachel, 1686; John, 1688; and Thomas, 1699.

ABRAHAM ANDREWS, ABRAHAM ANDROWS (or ABRAHAM ANDROS, sometimes), often ABRAHAM ANDROS, Waterbury, son of John Andrews of Farmington, married Sarah Porter, daughter of Robert Porter of Farmington, had Sarah, baptized 9 March 1681; Abraham, 17, certainly not, as said somewhere, 27 July 1687; at Farmington church both; besides Mary, baptized 19 May 1689; John, Benjamin, and Robert. He died 3 May 1693, leaving as appears by probate record these five children and a widow. Between that probate record at Hartford, and the town records of Farmingham, as well as of Waterbury, disagreement may be found; at least it was hard to guess, with confidence, after large inquiry, which Abraham was son of Francis Andrews, which of John; and Hinman, who rather darkens the confusion, saves himself from anxiety by acknowledging only one Abraham, while he informs us, that sometimes the name is given Andros, or Andrus. His report of Francis gives him no Abraham, and though he allows one to John Andrews, the report is incomplete.

BENJAMIN ANDREWS, BENJAMIN ANDROWS (or BENJAMIN ANDROS, sometimes), often BENJAMIN ANDROS, Farmington, son of John Andrews, by wife Mary, had Benjamin. born 1683; John, 1685; both, with their mother baptized 10 January 1687, probably died young; Mary, 26 August 1688; Stephen, probably 21 September 1690; besides Daniel, born 7 February baptized 10 September 1693; Samuel, 20, baptized 24 November 1695; Joanna, born 24 May 1698; James, 1 August 1701.

DANIEL ANDREWS, DANIEL ANDROWS (or DANIEL ANDROS, sometimes), often DANIEL ANDROS, Salem, school master, in 1672, was, Dr. Bond thinks, son of Thomas Andrews of Watertown, lived in the part called the village now Danvers, for which in the June Session 1689, the first year of liberty recovering from Andros, he was Representative, and in 1692 was charged with the preposterous crime of witchcraft, perhaps because he knows more than some of his neighbors, but was released early in the year following when reason prevailed over the influence of Cotton Mather. He died 3 December 170, aged 59, and son Thomas, 24, with Samuel, 19, died next month all of the smallpox.

DANIEL ANDREWS, DANIEL ANDROWS (or DANIEL ANDROS, sometimes), often DANIEL ANDROS, Farmington, son of John Andrews, had Daniel, born 9 March baptized 20 July 1673; Mary, 9, baptized 13 December 1674; Joseph, born 10 August 1676; Mary, 1678; John, 10 June 1680; Martha, 17, baptized 23 July 1682; Hannah, baptized 18 January 1685; Paul, 2, not 3 January 1687; Stephen, 1 December 1689; Ebenezer, born 28 August 1692, died in few weeks.

EDWARD ANDREWS, EDWARD ANDROWS (or EDWARD ANDROS, sometimes), often EDWARD ANDROS, Newport 1639, perhaps removed to Saco, at least one of the name was freeman there 1653, according to Folsom, 123, of the plantation, I suppose he means, for he does not appear in the Colony list, died 1668.

EDWARD ANDREWS, EDWARD ANDROWS (or EDWARD ANDROS, sometimes), often EDWARD ANDROS, Hartford 1655, sworn freeman 1657, had Edward, who died unmarried and Solomon; besides daughters Mary, and Sarah, of who the last married Henry Treat of Hartford, and next David Forbes. He died 1673.

EDWARD ANDREWS, EDWARD ANDROWS (or EDWARD ANDROS, sometimes), often EDWARD ANDROS, Warwick, among freeman there 1655, but no wife or children is heard of; may possibly be he who was early of Newport.

FRANCIS ANDREWS, FRANCIS ANDROWS (or FRANCIS ANDROS, sometimes), often FRANCIS ANDROS, Hartford 1639, had John, baptized 27 September 1646; and Thomas, 2 January 1648; removed to Fairfield, there died 1662, or 3, his will being of 6 June of the former. Probated 5 March of the latter year. In it he provides for four sons and five daughters viz. in addition to the two before mentioned, were Jeremiah, and Abraham, daughters Elizabeth, Mary; Esther; Rebecca, who became second wife 7 July 1678, of Samuel Benedict of Norwalk; and Ruth; besides Hannah, who had married John Crampton, after of Norwalk. Quite uncertain is it, whether his son Abraham were the man, who died 1693, or he who had children 1699.

HENRY ANDREWS, HENRY ANDROWS (or HENRY ANDROS, sometimes), often HENRY ANDROS, Taunton, an original purchaser, Representative 1639 and four next years, died 1652, is chiefly known from his will of 13 March in that year, probated 10 February following, in which are named his wife Mary; and children Henry; Mary, wife of William Hodges; Sarah; Abigail; and grandson John Hodges. The widow in her will of 14 February 1654, calls herself 43 years old, and speaks of Sarah as little. Baylies, II. 282. In Emery, I. 48 he is shown to have built the first meeting-house, but this author inadvertantly finds him permission to erect a saw-mill in 1659, which must be referred to his son.

HENRY ANDREWS, HENRY ANDROWS (or HENRY ANDROS, sometimes), often HENRY ANDROS, Taunton, who was killed by the Indians in Philip's war; and though descendants are said to be numerous, I regret that no account of marriage, or name of wife or children is known.

JAMES ANDREWS, JAMES ANDROWS (or JAMES ANDROS, sometimes), often JAMES ANDROS, Saco, son of Samuel Andrews of the same, removed with his mother on her second marriage at Falmouth, married Sarah Mitton, daughter of Michael Mitton, had Elisha, who was a Lieutenant, so early as 1689, under Church in his campaign against the East Indians, and probably James and Joshua that both died before the father. He abandoned Falmouth in the war, and died at Boston 1704, leaving widow Margaret, whose surname is not seen, the son Elisha, and three daughters Rebecca, wife of Jonathan Adams, of Boston; Dorcas, wife of Ebellezer Davenport, of Dorchester; and Jane, wife of Robert Davis, but perhaps she had former husband.

JEDEDIAH ANDREWS, JEDEDIAH ANDROWS (or JEDEDIAH ANDROS, sometimes), often JEDEDIAH ANDROS, Dover 1657, removed to Salisbury, there had Joseph, born 10 March 1670; and in 1674 administration on his estate was committed to his widow Mary, who married 24 August in that year John Allen, as under his name may be seen.

JEREMIAH ANDREWS, JEREMIAH ANDROWS (or JEREMIAH ANDROS, sometimes), often JEREMIAH ANDROS, Bedford 1697, was son probably of Francis Andrews of Fairfield.

JOHN ANDREWS, JOHN ANDROWS (or JOHN ANDROS, sometimes), often JOHN ANDROS, Kittery or Saco 1640.

JOHN ANDREWS, JOHN ANDROWS (or JOHN ANDROS, sometimes), often JOHN ANDROS, Lynn 1650, may be he who was a baker, and died at Ipswich 13 March 1662, and his wife Sarah died 29 April 1666.

JOHN ANDREWS, JOHN ANDROWS (or JOHN ANDROS, sometimes), often JOHN ANDROS, Farmington, one of the first settlers, freeman 1658, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 15 April 1643; John, 12 August 1645; Hannah, 26 February 1647, all baptized 16 May 1658; Abraham, 31 October 1648; Daniel, 1650; Joseph, 26 May 1651; there three baptized 2 April 1654; Rachel, baptized 9 April 1654; but why all were not baptized at once, may be left to plausible conjecture, Stephen, born 1606; and Benjamin, June 1659; and died 1682. His widow died Mary 1694. Of the children my knowledge is less complete; John, eldest son, was probably of Hartford, and had John, Joseph, Stephen, and others, yet marriage or birth dates are blank; Mary married as second wife Thomas Barnes; Hannah married Richards, probably Obadiah; and Rachel married a Buck.

JOHN ANDREWS, JOHN ANDROWS (or JOHN ANDROS, sometimes), often JOHN ANDROS, Ipswich 1642, had wife Jane, was oppressed, imprisoned by Andros' administration, living in 1701. He was then 80 years old, and his wife if alive, was one year younger.

JOSEPH ANDREWS, JOSEPH ANDROWS (or JOSEPH ANDROS, sometimes), often JOSEPH ANDROS, Hingham 1635, son of Thomas Andrews the first, born in England, freeman 3 March 1636, was the first town clerk, constable, Representative 1636-8, had removed to Duxbury soon after, but Joseph, Elizabeth, baptized March 1638; Ephraim, 18, not as once said 8, October 1640; and Thomas may have been born before such removal, as only child at Duxbury named is Abigail, 1647, who married July 1667, John Wadsworth; at Duxbury he was a town officer 1654, and constable 1664, died 1 January 1680, aged 83.

Probably his son Thomas was in 1675, a soldier of brave Captain Gardner's Company, killed in the storming, 19 December, of the Narranganset fort.

His widow married 1648, Nicholas Wyeth, and daughter Rebecca married John Frost.

WILLIAM ANDREWS, WILLIAM ANDROWS (or WILLIAM ANDROS, sometimes), often WILLIAM ANDROS, Lynn 1634, maybe one of the early freeman of this name, 4 March 1634, or 4 March 1630, or 13 May 1640; of which the last William's surname is given with o, instead of e in the last syllable, but he of 1635 having the prefix of respect, may seem rather to belong to Charlestown or Cambridge by proximity of other names in that day's list. From Lewis in History of Lynn no light is derived here.

WILLIAM ANDREWS, WILLIAM ANDROWS (or WILLIAM ANDROS, sometimes), often WILLIAM ANDROS, New Haven, a prominent man, signed the compact 1639, probably accompanied Governor Eaton, and no doubt was first at Boston or Charlestown; at New Hampshire was active in military service and kept the ordinary, one of the founders of the church and hardly could get leave to give up his ordinary, had William, and Samuel, perhaps born in England, but Nathan, baptized at New Hampshire 17 November 1639; and died 3 January 1664.

His daughter Abigail died May 1653.

WILLIAM ANDREWS, WILLIAM ANDROWS (or WILLIAM ANDROS, sometimes), often WILLIAM ANDROS, New Haven, son of William Andrews of the same, born in England, married 31 January 1649, Mary Chandler, had child born 1651 and 1653, who died soon. He deserted his wife, went to Kinsale, and there, as was said, married another In October 1661, after his absence of eight years his wife obtained divorce. But that may be story of another man, for this William Andrews married Ann Tapp, widow of William Gibbard, daughter of William Tapp, and died 4 March 1676, as by the highest authority I am instructed. His family was early extinct.

WILLIAM ANDREWS, WILLIAM ANDROWS (or WILLIAM ANDROS, sometimes), often WILLIAM ANDROS, Ipswich, had William, born 23 October 1674; John, 2 February 1676; Ezekiel, June 1680; Elizabeth, 15 January 1685, died under 1 year; and Elizabeth, again, who married September 1704 Joshua Norwood. His wife Margaret, at this time, but she may not have been mother of the former children.

WILLIAM ANDREWS, WILLIAM ANDROWS (or WILLIAM ANDROS, sometimes), often WILLIAM ANDROS of Ipswich, had Solomon, born 8 August 1699. Perhaps one of these many Williams was a carpenter, who came in the James from Southampton, 1635. Confusion very easily arises between names of so common occurrence with so slight variations of residence, and other circumstances. Of this name, 1834, Farmer found fifteen graduates at Harvard, eight at Yale, and six at other New England colleges.

EDMUND ANDROS, Boston, appointed by James II, General Governor of New England, arrived at Boston, 20 December 1686, had been a dozen or more years Governor of New York before his promotion. Here he exercised rule without law about two years. His wife died at Boston February 1688. On the first report of the landing in England of William of Orange, the great body of the people, eager to throw off the yoke, seized on the Governor and his adherents and imprisoned them, 18 April 1689. Five months he was held close prisoner, though once he escaped to Rhode Island, but was arrested there and sent back; and the King gave order 30 July for his being brought to England. Hutchinson II. 208, says, he died in London, February 1714, at advanced age, having tasted once more the sweets of power, as Governor of Virginia, soon after his going home.

JEDEDIAH ANDROS, Salisbury, by wife Mary, had Joseph, born 10 March 1670. His widow married 24 August 1674, Lieutenant John Allen.

JAMES ANGELL, Providence, son of Thomas Angell, married Abigail Dexter, only daughter of Gregory Dexter, had John, born 4 October 1691; perhaps more.

JOHN ANGELL, Providence, brother of the preceding, married 7 January 1670, Ruth Field, but of neither husband nor wife has any account recalled me.

THOMAS ANGELL, Providence, one of the earliest settlers with Roger Williams, one of the freeman 1655, and constable, had James and John, who there dwelt 1676, and did not remove in Philip's war, besides daughters Amphyllis, Mary, Deborah, Alice, and Margery, whose descendants are numerous. He died 1694, as is thought for his will was probated 18 September of that year. He came from London, as servant or apprentice of Roger Williams, as one tradition has it, but another tradition says, of Richard Waterman. John took oath of allegiance June 1668, and so may have been elder, for James is thus marked May 1682. Alice married 26 January 1670, Eleazer Whipple of Providence, and Mary married Richard Arnold.

EDMUND ANGIER, Cambridge 1636, youngest son of John Angier of Dedham, County Essex, where he was born about 1612, and brother of John Angier, minister of some distinction at Denton, near Manchester, had lived with John Cotton at Boston in Lincolnshire and intended to embark with him for New England in 1633, but was for that time prevented freeman 13 May 1640, married Ruth Ames, daughter of famous William Ames, the professor at Franequer, had John, born 21 August 1645, who was buried 2 January 1648; Ruth, 28 September 1647; John, again, 22 April 1649, died young; Ephraim, aged 27 at his death 16 January 1679; Samuel Angier, 17 March 1655, Harvard College 1673; and John, again, 21 June 1656, died young. His wife died 3 July 1656, and he married 12 June 1657, Ann Batt, daughter of Christopher Batt (but in Mitchell's Bridgewater, 105, the name is erronously given Pratt), had Edmund, 20 September 1659; Hannah, 1660; Mary, 1663; John, May 1664, died at 2 months; Nathaniel, May 1665; and Elizabeth, baptized 2 May 1667; besides Sarah, not seen on record; Ruth married 28 June 1671, Reverend Samuel Cheever, of Marblehead; Elizabeth married 29 October 1691, Reverend Jonathan Pierpont, of Reading; Sarah married 13 December 1698, Reverend Christopher Tappan of Newbury; Edmund, and Nathaniel died very early. His second wife died 3 October 1688, aged 58, and he died 4 March 1693.

JOHN ANGIER, Boston, married 1651, Hannah Aspinwall, daughter of William Aspinwall, had John, born 16 September 1652, who is called by John Cotton's William’s cousin.

JOHN ANGIER, Massachusetts of whom we know only (strange as it appears), that he was graduate of Harvard 1653, and died 1657.

JOSEPH ANGIER, Medford 1684, removed to Dorchester, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 8 December 1694; Margaret, 21 March 1697; Joseph, 20 June 1702; Benjamin, 22 June 1704; removed to Framingham, there had Mary, 31 August 1709; and he died of cancer, 30 November 1718. His widow died 24 January 1732.

He removed to the West part of Watertown, now Waltham, and was installed 25 May 1697, died 24 January 1719.

SAMPSON ANGIER, York 1653, then allowed to swear allegiance to Massachusetts. See Colony record IV. part i. 129. Of this name Farmer found twelve had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard and four at all other New England colleges.

ANTHONY ANNABLE, ANTHONY ANNIBLE, or ANTHONY ANNIBALL, Plymouth, came in the Ann 1623, with wife Jane, and daughter Sarah, born about 1622; and had Hannah, born about 1625, at Plymouth was one of the first settlers at Scituate 1630, and founder of the church there, 8 January 1635, had a child without name, buried 8 April of that year; Deborah, there baptized 7 May 1637; Representative 1639; removed with his minister Reverend John Lothrop to Barnstable, of which he was Representative 1646, and often after. There he had, perhaps, Susanna, born about 1630; and his first wife died December1643; and he married 3 March 1645, Ann Clark, or, in Genealogical Registrar IX. 315, (where is error of a year) Ann Alcock, by whom he had Samuel, born 2 or 22 January baptized 8 February 1646; and Ezekiel, baptized 29 April 1649; besides Desire 16 October 1653. Of the daughters Sarah married 23 November 1638, Henry Ewell; Hannah married 3 March 1645 (which is the same time with her father taking second wife), Thomas Boreman; Susanna married 13 May 1652, William Hatch; and Desire married 18 January 1677, John Barker.

JOHN ANNABLE, JOHN ANNIBLE, or JOHN ANNIBALL, Ipswich 1642, died 8 October 1664, of which we can see nothing more, but that he is called a tailor in 1651, in Coffin's gatherings, where also I find

MATTHEW ANNABLE, MATTHEW ANNIBLE, or MATTHEW ANNIBALL called 18 years old in 1672.

SAMUEL ANNABLE, SAMUEL ANNIBLE, or SAMUEL ANNIBALL, Barnstable, son probably eldest, of Anthony Annable, married 1 June 1667, Mehitable Allyn, daughter of Thomas Allyn of the same, had Samuel, born 14 July 1669; Hannah, 16 March 1672, died in August following; John, 19 July 1673; and Ann, 4 March 1675. He died 1678.

CHARLES ANNIS, in Genealogical Registrar VII. 349 printed Carmac, Newbury, born 1638, at Enniskillen, Ireland, married 15 May 1666, Sarah Chase, daughter of Aquila Chase, had Charles; Priscilla, born 8 November 1677; Hannah, 15 November 1679; Ann, 28 December 1681; and probably more, who are not in records.

ABRAHAM ANTHONY, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, son probably of first John Anthony of the same, married 26 December 1671, Alice Waddell, daughter of William Waddell, had John, born 17 November 1672; Susanna and Mary, twins 29 August 1674, both died soon; William, 31 October 1675; Susanna, again, 14 October 1677; Mary, again, 2 January 1680; Abraham, 21 April 1682; Thomas, 30 June 1684, died at 21 years; Alice and James, twins 22 January 1686, of which the latter died at 18 years; Ammi, 30 June 1688; Isaac, 10 April 1690; and Jacob, 15 November 1693; and his wife died at the age of 84 in the house of son William, 1734.

JOHN ANTHONY, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, one of the freeman 1655, and may have removed to Providence; but though to denote the earliest residence at first, I built on conjecture too slight to be mentioned, yet for his coming we have perfect knowledge that he took oath of allegiance and supremacy 24 March 1634, with intent to embark in the Mary and John, but was delayed for passage in the Hercules a few days after. He had lived in the beautiful village of Hempstead, near London, and died 28 July 1675, aged 68. In his will, made 5 days before, he names his children John, Joseph, Abraham, Susanna, wife of John Tripp, and Elizabeth, wife of James Greene. His widow Frances died 12 October 1692.

JOHN ANTHONY, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, son, probably eldest of the preceding, married 23 November 1669, Frances Waddell, youngest daughter of William Waddell, had John, born 28 June 1671; Joseph, 28 October 1673; William, 18 July 1676; Susanna, 1 January 1679, died at 19 years; Mary, 16 June 1681, died young; Sarah, 1 October 1683, died next year; Elizabeth, 14 September 1686; Alice, 26 April 1689; and Samuel, 8 October 1691. As he took second wife 3 January 1694, Susanna Alborow, daughter of John Alborow, it may be that his former wife was misrepresented as widow of his father. By this wife he had Albro, 25 September 1694; Sarah, 1 August 1697; and John 16; February 1699; and died 20 October 1715.

JOSEPH ANTHONY, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, brother of the preceding, married 5 April 1676 Mary Wait, daughter of Thomas Wait, had John, born 10 September 1678; Joseph, 19 May 1682; Susanna, 24 October 1684; and Thomas, who died young.

OBADIAH ANTRAM, Salem, son of Thomas Antram of the same, left good estate to wife Martha Baker, daughter of the first John Baker of Ipswich of which no child is mentioned when he was lost at sea, 1664, on voyage to Nevis or other West Indies Island.

THOMAS ANTRAM, Salem, came in the James from Southampton, 1635, arriving at Boston, 3 June, is called a weaver of Salisbury, County Wilts, in the Ship's clearance; had grant of land 1637, was of the church 1639, freeman 18 May 1642; died 1663; had baptized Obadiah, 7 June 1640; Mary, 16 July 1643; and John, 29 March 1646. Perhaps Hannah Angram, who married 8 November 1658, Isaac Burnap, was daughter of Thomas Antram.

JOHN APPLEGATE, Gravesend, Long Island, 1650, with Elizabeth, perhaps his mother, it may be widow of Thomas, and probably big son John, was of Oyster bay 1685. He bought house and land 1662, at Fairfield, and there was living in 1670, as the Connecticut jurisdiction could not be preserved at Long Island. One of the names was at Fairfield 1697; and a John Applegate made his will 1704 naming no children, but giving estate to his wife Avis, and brother Thomas Applegate and his children. A John Applegate was complained of at Milford for selling liquor; and Bartholomew Applegate at the same time.

THOMAS APPLEGATE, Weymouth 1635, was licensed to keep ferry to Braintree, but next year turned out; had wife Elizabeth, whose tongue was sentenced by the Court to be confined by cleft stick.

ISAAC APPLETON, Ipswich, son of the second Samuel Appleton of the same (by his second wife), married Priscilla Baker, daughter of Thomas Baker of Topsfield, and granddaughter of Deputy Governor Symonds, had Priscilla, born 1697; Mary, 1701; Isaac, 1704; Elizabeth; Martha; Rebecca, and Joanna; and he died 1747. Of this only son Isaac Appleton, who had many sons, descends the venerable Jesse Appleton, Dartmouth college 1792, President of Bowdoin, and he was grandfather of the brothers Samuel, Nathan, and Ebenezer, as also of their cousin William, all distinguished merchants of Boston, who are of the thirteenth generation from John of Great Waldingfield in County Suffolk, who died 1414, the remotest known ancestor of the family.

JOHN APPLETON, Ipswich, eldest son of Samuel Appleton, the progenitor, was born 1622 at Little Waldingfield in County Suffolk and brought at the age of thirteen years by his father. Married October 1651, Priscilla Glover, daughter of the Reverend Jose Glover, who died 1638, on his passage to our country to establish the first printing press, had John, born 17 October 1652; Samuel; Priscilla, 1657, who married Reverend Joseph Capen of Topsfield; Jose, 1660, who was a merchant of Boston, and died unmarried 18 November 1721; Elizabeth, who married 12 November 1673, the second Richard Dummer; Sarah, who married Daniel Rogers, not Samuel, as the beautiful Memorial of the family has it; and Mary, 1673, who married Nathaniel Thomas of Marshfield. He was Lieutenant, Captain, and Major, Representative 1656 many years up to 1679, yet not freeman before 1682, if we follow the official lists; but as a strenuous asserter of liberty against the government after the nullification of the old Charter one of the most distinguished, he had the honor of being imprisoned at Boston, fined £50, and bound in £1000 for a year on account of resistance to the arbitrary taxation. See Revolution in New England justified. His will of 16 February 1698, was probated 27 March 1700, but he died 4 November 1699.

JOHN APPLETON, Ipswich, eldest son of the preceding, married 23 November 1681, Elizabeth Rogers, eldest daughter of President Rogers, had Elizabeth, Nathaniel Appleton, born 9 December 1693, Harvard College 1712, the minister of Cambridge; Margaret; Daniel, born 1695; and Priscilla, 1697. He was freeman 1682, largely employed in public offices, town clerk 1687, Representative 1697, and next year a councellor, in which place he served many years besides being Judge of Probate. Died 11 September 1739.

JOHN APPLETON, Ipswich, son of Samuel Appleton the second eldest, by his second wife removed perhaps to Salem, married there 1689, Rebecca Ruck, daughter of John Ruck, had John, born 1695; and Benjamin. He had for second wife married 1700, a widow Dutch, but what was her baptized name, or who was her former husband or father or when she died are all untold; but he died 1724.

OLIVER APPLETON, Ipswich, youngest brother of Isaac Appleton of the same, by wife Sarah, had Joseph; John, born 1707; Oliver, 1712; Samuel, 1713; Daniel; Nathaniel, 1721; besides Joanna, and two more daughters, but I regret to mark the deficiency of dates, and sometimes of names. He was well provided for in the will of his father and died 1759.

SAMUEL APPLETON, Ipswich, son of Thomas Appleton of Little Waldingfield County Suffolk, born 1586, came 1635, with family having projected earlier settlement as is well inferred from the expression in a letter of his neighbor our first Governor Winthrop 14 August 1630, soon after arriving here, to his son John in England, that Mr. Appleton can have no cows, because more than half of their stock died on the passage. He was sworn freeman 25 May 1636, and chosen Representative next year. He served in that capacity no other year and died at Rowley 1670. The wife brought by him from England was Mary Everard, and their five children all born before his coming over, were John, before mentioned born 1622; Samuel, 1624; Sarah, 1697, who married probably 1652 or 3, Reverend Samuel Phillips of Rowley, in whose house the father died; Judith, who married 12 December 1657, Samuel Rogers of Ipswich, and died 1659; and Martha, who married Richard Jacob of Ipswich.

SAMUEL APPLETON, Ipswich, son of the preceding, baptized 1624 at Little Wallingfield, brought in 1635 by his father, married Hannah Paine, daughter of William Paine of Ipswich, had Hannah, who married William Downes of Boston; Judith, who married 1678, Samuel Wolcott of Wethersfield; and Samuel, born 1654; and by second wife married 8 December 1656, Mary Oliver, daughter of John Oliver of Newbury, had John, born 1660; Isaac, 1664; Joanna, who married Nathaniel Whipple; and Oliver, 1676. He was a man of the highest repute in civil and military service, Representative 1668 and often after to 1681, when he was made Assistant, and by annual election continued in that rank to the time of overthrow of the Charter government 1686. In 1675 he had command of all the Massachusetts forces on Connecticut river, and late in the season, when succeeded by Major Savage in that quarter, was transfered to the expedition against Narranganset for the bloody and decisive action of 19 December, resolute in support of the liberty of the people against the unlawful taxation in 1687, he was imprisoned by Andros, and hardly released. See Hutchinson I. 365. In the new Charter of William and Mary, 1691, he was made one of the council, though by the popular vote, left out at the following election, died 15 May 1696; and his will of 17 April 1695 was probated 25 May of next year.

SAMUEL APPLETON, Ipswich, son of John Appleton the first, died 1693, leaving widow and four children Jose, Samuel, Thomas, and John; but the family memos supplies no larger account.

SAMUEL APPLETON, Ipswich, eldest son of Samuel Appleton the second, married Elizabeth Whittingham, daughter of William Whittingham, had Samuel, Whittingham, Hannah, Martha, and Elizabeth. He was much in public service, of the council 1703, was head of one of the regiments 1707 against Port Royal, and died 30 October 1725. His widow married 1726 Reverend Edward Payson of Rowley. Of this name, in 1834, graduates were twelve at Harvard, three at Dartmouth, and seven at other New England colleges of which none at Yale.

JOHN APPLIN, Watertown, married 23 November 1671, Bethshua Bartlett, daughter of Thomas Bartlett, had John, born 15 October 1672, died at 18 years; Bethshua, 1 May 1673; according to Bond 9; Mary, 11 October 1677; Hannah, 25 March 1680; Thomas and Edward, twins 15 March 1682; of who the latter died in a few days; Abiel, 12 May 1684; Mehitable, 7 April 1688; and John, again, 3 May 1692. His wife died 8 October 1692; Bethshua married 3 January 1698, John Stratton; Mary married 30 July 1716, John Anderson, as his second wife; Hannah married 11 May 1703, John Farr; and Mehitable married 27 September 1711, Benjamin Headley. He was asked in April 1703, to keep a school at Groton, and was short time at Littleton; may have been not born in New England, and was living 1725.

BENJAMIN ARCHER, or BENJAMIN ARCHARD, York; 1680, was perhaps son of John Archer of Salem.

HENRY ARCHER, or HENRY ARCHARD, Roxbury, married 4 December 1639, Elizabeth Stow, daughter of John Stow of the same, had Rachel, John, Isaac, and Theophilus, named in the will of Rachell Bigg of Dorchester, made 17 November 1646, and perhaps others, after removing to Ipswich or before, as there is reason for conjecture that all were born at Ipswich. He was freeman 2 June 1641; and his wife died there 11 April 1669.

JOHN ARCHER, or JOHN ARCHARD, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, freeman 1655, was probably the man mentioned in Hubbard's Indians Wars, whose son was killed 25 June 1675, the first day of hostilities.

JOHN ARCHER, or JOHN ARCHARD, Salem 1668, cooper, had grant of land 1676, and administration on his estate was given 26 February 1694, to his sons Benjamin and Thomas.

SAMUEL ARCHER, or SAMUEL ARCHARD, Salem, 1630, required administration as a freeman 19 October of that year, but I see not, that he was ever sworn in, yet marshal in 1650, and 1, called 50 years old in 1665, had wife Susanna, son Samuel, probably others; was a carpenter, and died December 1667. The widow Susanna married October 1668, Richard Hutchinson, and died 26 November 1674.

SAMUEL ARCHER, or SAMUEL ARCHARD, Andover, freeman 1668, had married 21 May 1660, Hannah Osgood, daughter of John Osgood; but was perhaps of Salem, and son of the preceding.

WILLIAM ARDELL, Boston 1687, merchant removed to Portsmouth, and was made, 1699, Sheriff of the Province of New Hampshire. Belknap I. 155.

This last has mother in the record named Mary. By the will of Rebecca, widow of William Webb, all her estate was given to her grandchild Rebecca.

HENRY ARMITAGE, or HENRY ARMATAGE, Boston, came in the ship Society from Barbadoes, where he embarked 11 March 1679, may have been only a transient visitor, returned home, and taking this Colony in his way; at least no more is known of him.

JOSEPH ARMITAGE, or JOSEPH ARMATAGE, Lynn 1630, perhaps brother of Godfrey Armitage, freeman 9 March 1637, by wife Jane, who died 3 March 1677, had John, and Rebecca, who married 14 November 1665, Samuel Tarbox, kept the first inn of that town, though he was a tailor, and died 27 June 1680, aged 80, says Lewis.

MANASSEH ARMITAGE, or MANASSEH ARMATAGE, of Harvard College 1660, who gladly would I find some, the minutest, story of, as date of birth or who was his father or anything else more than in the Magnalia, IV. 137, where he is marked by a star, as evidence that he was dead 1698. See Thompson, History of Long Island, I. 486, 90, and II. 13.

SAMUEL ARMITAGE, or SAMUEL ARMATAGE, Boston, perhaps son of Godfrey Armitage, a Sergeant, had £10 a year in 1674 and 5, for carrying the halbert.

THOMAS ARMITAGE, or THOMAS ARMATAGE, Lynn, came in the James from Bristol, 1635, with Reverend Richard Mather and others, removed 1637, to Sandwich. Lewis. He had grant of land 1641 at Stamford, where he may have been on a visit; at least, he did not settle there.

JONATHAN ARMSTRONG, Westerly, or Pawcatuck, in that debatable part of the Narraganset territory called in the native speach, Misquamicuck, by the English Squamicuck, claimed by Connecticut jurisdiction as belonging to their plantation of Stonington, 1670, removed to Norwich 1678, perhaps, for then land was granted to him. He probably removed after to Roxbury, where his daughters Mercy died 2. October 1694, and Martha died 15 December 1709.

MATTHEW ARMSTRONG, Boston 1664, mariner, perhaps had come from Maryland, for I find his widow in 1672, sold estate in Somerset County of that Province.

STEPHEN ARMSTRONG, Windham, son of Benjamin Armstrong, by wife Hannah, had Hannah, born 1 December 1710, died at 3 months; Abigail, 1 May 1712; Hannah, again 23 March 1714; Jonathan, 26 August 1715; Sarah, 21 June 1717; and Mary, 17 February 1720.

BENEDICT ARNOLD, Providence 1636, eldest son of William Arnold the first, born in England 21 December 1615, perhaps in County Nottingham, married Damalies Wescott, daughter of Stukely Wescott, had Godsgift; Josiah; Benedict, born as tradition tells, in 1641; Freelove; Oliver; and Caleb; besides other daughters Damaris, Priscilla, and perhaps Penelope; was the richest man in the Colony, and by thorough acquaintaince with the manners as well as language of the aboriginals became the most effective auxiliary in all negotiations with them. In 1653 he removed to Newport, was chosen Assistant next year, and in 1663 made by the royal Charter President, and by annual election, so continued for eight years and died 1678. His will of 24 December 1677, with codicil of 10 June following, was probated 1 July. Both Godsgift and Freelove, are by different authorities, made to married Edward Pelham, and, possibly he had the two; Penelope is said to have married Roger Goulding; and Damaris married John Bliss. See Rhode Island, History Collections II. 51, and III. 294; Callender; Winthrop and Knowles.

BENEDICT ARNOLD, Newport, son of the preceding, had been an Assistant 1690 to 95, and was Representative 1699; married 9 March 1671, Mary, perhaps named Turner, had Godsgift, born 19 May 1672; Sion, 12 September 1674; Mary, 1678; Content, 26 February 1681; Benedict, 28 August 1683; and Caleb.

His widow died 14 October 1746, aged 78.

EPHRAIM ARNOLD, Braintree, son of Joseph Arnold, by wife Mary, had Samuel, born 1 January 1689; Mary, 1 October 1690; and Ephraim, 21 July 1695.

HENRY ARNOLD, Hartford 1683 to 90, and after, yet no more is known, though he had wife and children.

ISRAEL ARNOLD, Providence, eldest son of Stephen Arnold the first of the same, swore allegiance May 1671; married 16 April 1677, widow Mary Smith, daughter of James Barber, had Israel, born 18 June 1678; and nine more children. Of not one of which is record of birth known, nor other means of finding even their names, except in the will that gives all the ten. They were William, Elisha, Stephen, James, Joseph, Josiah, Mary, Sarah, and Barbara. He died 1717.

JASPER ARNOLD, came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 40, from London, with Ann, perhaps his wife 39, but no more is heard of either.

JOHN ARNOLD, Cambridge, freeman 6 May 1635, went as an original proprietor to Hartford, there died 1664, very aged, leaving Josiah, Joseph, and Daniel, mentioned in his will of 20 August, probated December following in that year, as also grandchild Mary Buck, but who was her father or month is not discerned. His wife was Susanna.

JOHN ARNOLD, Boston 1642, a plasterer, freeman 10 May 1643, Artillery Company 1644, probably a single man, at least was so on joining the church 22 April 1643. His administrator Samuel Arnold of Marshfield, entered claim 29 October 1661, to certain lands in Boston, as the right of his intestate.

JOHN ARNOLD, Weymouth, son of Joseph Arnold of Braintree, a soldier on Connecticut river 1675, may be that one of Moseley's Company December 1675, whose name in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 242 is made Arvell; by wife Mary, had William, born 22 November 1678; Mary, 12 September 1681; Margaret, 14 October 1683; and James.

JOHN ARNOLD, Providence, son of Thomas Arnold the first of the same, took oath of allegiance May 1671, and died 5 January 1722.

JOHN ARNOLD, Norwich 1680, removed to Boston in few years and may indeed have first lived there, was that prison-keeper, who had custody of many of the respectable inhabitants of Salem charged with witchcraft, especially of one woman of whose safety he was the happy means, under a forged order for discharge, as the curious myth is told in a letter that Hutchinson had partly copied, II. 61; and the letter writer assures us, that he saw the return of the officer on the document and was told by the jailer, that for that discharge he was turned out of his office. In 1700 he went to New London, there was an anchorsmith, married 6 December 1703, Mercy, widow of Samuel Fosdick, had Ruhamah, born 7 September 1704; and Lucretia, 26 August 1706; and died 26 August 1725, says the gravestone, "aged about 73 years"

He was administered freeman at Hartford 1658. Hinman, 111, of the first Ed. slightly erronous as in his Ed. 2d page 58, was corrected.

JOSIAH ARNOLD, Hartford, brother of the preceding, freeman 1657, was living 1683.

JOSIAH ARNOLD, Providence, son of Benedict Arnold the first, was a Captain, married Mary Ward, eldest daughter of Thomas Ward of Newport, had Josiah, Edward, and William, who all died before he made his will, probated 1724, as did also another wife Sarah, as probably several daughters besides Abigail, Mary, Content, Catharine, Comfort, without husbands. But six others, called eldest daughters Elizabeth Odlin, Ann Tibbal, Frances Allen, Sarah Sanford, Penelope, and Freelove are mentioned. In addition to this numerous flock, Benedict, his eldest son and Josiah, the youngest, with grandson Jonathan Law, are mentioned. He calls himself of Jamestown, which is the isle of Conanicut, on which he had good estate.

OLIVER ARNOLD, Jamestown, brother of the preceding. In his will probated 1697 names wife Phebe and five children. By her he had Damaris, born 1680; Phebe, 1682, died young; Patience, 1684; Mary, 1687; Sarah, 1689; and Oliver, 1694.

RICHARD ARNOLD, son of Thomas Arnold the first of Providence, by second wife, swore allegiance 1670, was an Assistant 1681, and named in the royal commission of council to Sir Edmund Andros, 1687.

RICHARD ARNOLD, Providence, called junior when he took oath of allegiance 1682, was son of the preceding.

SAMUEL ARNOLD, Sandwich 1643, brother of John Arnold of Boston, lived after at Yarmouth, of which he was Representative 1654 and 6, and there by wife Elizabeth, married at Yarmouth, had Samuel, born 9 May 1649; Seth; and Elizabeth, who married Abraham Holmes of Rochester. He was third minister of Marshfield, at which place he was ordained 1658, and died 1 September 1693, aged 71. His widow died 15 February 1706, at Rochester.

SAMUEL ARNOLD, Rochester, first minister of that town, ordained 1684, was son of the preceding, and died before 11 February 1709. 2 Massachusetts History Collections IV. 259-62.

SETH ARNOLD, Duxbury, brother of the preceding, had Edward, born 24 March 1680; Penelope, 21 April 1682; Desire; Benjamin; James; and perhaps Elizabeth, who married a Winsor.

STEPHEN ARNOLD, Providence 1636, brother of Governor Benedict Arnold, born in England, married 24 November 1646, Sarah Smith, daughter of Edward Smith of Rehoboth, had Esther, born 22 September 1647; Israel, 30 October 1649; Stephen, 27 November 1654; Elizabeth, 2 November 1659; Elisha, 18 February 1662; Sarah, 26 June 1665; and Phebe, 9 November 1676; was an Assistant 1667. In his will he mentioned all these, and grandchildren James Dexter, and Esther Hawkins. When he died is not known but his widow Sarah died 15 April 1713.

THOMAS ARNOLD, Watertown, arrived from Virginia, whither he came from London, May 1635, in the Plain Joan, bringing children, perhaps Thomas, said to have been born 2 May 1625; Nicholas; and Susanna (of which the former two died young), was made freeman of Massachusetts 13 May 1640, married I suppose for second wife Phebe Parkhurst, daughter of the first George Parkhurst, had Ichabod, born 1 March 1641; Richard, 22 March 1643; John, 19 February 1648; Ebenezer, 17 June 1651; after being fined once for neglecting the law of baptism, and twice for neglect of public worship, with increasing weight, and his daughter Susanna having married 7 April 1654 John Farnum of Boston, who favored the baptismal views of ordinances, he was driven to Providence, lived in that part now Smithfield, swore allegiance 1666, and died September 1674. He had been baptized 18 April 1599.

THOMAS ARNOLD, Providence, called junior when he took oath of allegiance June 1668, was son of the preceding by second wife, and died 3 December 1726. Confusion in parts of the record of this family in Rhode Island, is found, but it may be avoided by caution, as the family tradition makes second wife of the first Thomas to be Park, instead of Palkhurst, and where it tells, that a daughter married a Vernon, it may be easy blunder for Farnum.

WILLIAM ARNOLD, Hingham 1635, brother of the first Thomas Arnold, born as is said, 1589, had Benedict, Thomas, Stephen, besides one daughter Joanna, who married Zechary Rhodes, and another Elizabeth, who married Thomas Hopkins, all born as is thought in England, removed 1636, with Roger Williams to Providence, and was one of the founders of the First Baptist Church on our side of the ocean, had grant of Iand at Newport 1638, but I presume resided at Providence, was among freeman 1655. Backus notes, that he was ancestor of the infamously unhappy Benedict Arnold of West Point. Of the child of one Arnold of Reading, recovered from sickness near to death, we may read the story in Mather's Life of Brock, Magnalia IV. 142, that is lamentanly extravagant and seems more ridiculous than extravagant. Arnold is the name of a parish in England about 6 miles North from the borough of Nottingham. Three of this name had in 1534 been graduates at Yale, two at Dartmouth, and five at other New England colleges, of which none at Harvard.

JOHN ARTHUR, perhaps of Salem, had married Priscilla Gardner, daughter of John Gardner of the same, and had children John, Joseph, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Mary; but after his death, she with the children went to her father then living at Nantucket, yet it is not my happiness to find any other of this surname on our side of the ocean, except the two sons, of whom Joseph went to Philadelphia, and

JOHN ARTHUR, of Nantucket, who married 26 February 1704, Mary Folger, youngest daughter of Eleazer Folger, had Keturah; Eunice, born 29 August 1706; Rhoda, 26 November 1708; Persis, 17 November 1710; Thomas, 8 November 1712; Stephen, 2 February 1715; and Priscilla, 2 November 1718. He died 1 November 1719, and his widow died 7 October following.

JOHN ARTSEL, Springfield, swore fidelity 31 December 1678, or the next day, as the name is given by Boltwood, but other spellings may have sometimes been used.

JOHN ASH, Dover 1659, married at Salisbury, 14 August 1667, Mary, perhaps Bartlett.

WILLIAM ASH, Gloucester 1647, married Milicent Addis, daughter of William Addis, widow of William Southmayd, was a mariner, removed about 1650 to New London, where his widow for third husband, married Thomas Beebe.

ANTHONY ASHBY, Salem 1665, married Abigail Hutchinson, daughter of Richard Hutchinson, had Gershom, and Abigail, both baptized 12 June 1670; and perhaps Benjamin, and Elizabeth, June 1684; had license to sell beer and cider, 1670. Felt, I. 418. 2 Massachusetts History Collections VIII. 106. The name is there kept up, and Edward Ashber, Beverly, freeman 1683, may be descendant.

ANTHONY ASHBY, New London 1688, probably son of the preceding, though Caulkins, 351, considers him the same, had Anthony, and two daughters Mary and Hannah, old enough to join the church February 1694. There, too, descendants were seen.

BENJAMIN ASHBY, Salem 1674, son perhaps of Anthony Ashby the first, by wife Hannah, had John, baptized June 1693; Jonathan, 23 September 1694; and probably others. He was a shipbuilder.

EDWARD ASHBY, Beverly, freeman 1683, perhaps son of the first Anthony Ashby. Felt.

THOMAS ASHBY, New Haven, whose goods were ordered to be appraised 3 April 1640, as he was lately drowned in company with Thomas Johnson. Sometimes, perhaps, the first Anthony may be printed Ashley.

JOHN ASHCRAFT, Stonington 1662, married 12 September 1670, Hannah Osborne, had John, born 1671; Hannah, 1675; Ephraim, 1677; and Mary, 1680. Probably descendants are there; and one Thomas Ashcraft, mariner from Boston, died September 1724, at Bay of Honduras, leaving will made here 13 January 1723.

JOHN ASHDOWN, Weymouth, a soldier in Philip's war, at the Falls fight. No descendants were known 1736, when land was granted to Representatives of all in that stout band.

DAVID ASHLEY, sometimes DAVID ASHLY, Springfield, eldest son of Robert Ashley of the same, married 24 November 1663, Hannah Glover, daughter of Henry Glover of New Haven, had Samuel, born 26 October 1664; David, 10 March 1667; John, 27 June 1669; Joseph, 31 July 1671; Sarah, 19 September 1673; removed before Philip's war to Westfield, there had Mary and Hannah, twins 14 December 1675, of who Mary died soon; Jonathan, 21 June 1678; Abigail, 27 April 1681; Mary, again 3 March 1683; and Rebecca, 30 May 1685. Some of these children are on records in both towns. He died 8 December 1718. See Davis, History of Westfield. Jonathan Ashley, the minister of Deerfield, who used to pray for king George, after the war of our revolution began, and Joseph Ashley, minister of Winchester, and after of Sunderland, both Yale College 1730, and cousins, were his grandsons. One of the lines to seventh generation is shown by Davis in Genealogical Registrar II. 394.

EDWARD ASHLEY, sometimes EDWARD ASHLY, Maine 1630, was probably from Bristol, England and may be he, who had a lot, about 1650, at Gloucester, but it is not probably

EDWARD ASHLEY, sometimes EDWARD ASHLY, Boston, freeman 1677, by wife Mary, had William, born 24 June 1674; Mary, 28 April 1676; and Dorothy, 11 July 1687. The name in Prince's Annals Winthrop I. 29. Folsom,46, and Baylies, I. 153 hardly can be referred to the member of the First Church at Boston.

JONATHAN ASHLEY, sometimes JONATHAN ASHLY, Springfield, son of Robert Ashley, married 10 November 1669, Sarah Wadsworth, daughter of William Wadsworth of Hartford, whither he removed 1682, and died there 1705, leaving Jonathan, Joseph, Samuel, Sarah, and Rebecca.

JOSEPH ASHLEY, sometimes JOSEPH ASHLY, Springfield, brother of the preceding, married 1685, Mary Parsons, daughter of Joseph Parsons of Northampton, had Joseph, Ebenezer, Mary, Abigail, and Benjamin, removed to Wethersfield, and died 18 May 1698. His widow married 2 March following Joseph Williston.

ROBERT ASHLEY, sometimes ROBERT ASHLY, Springfield 1639, perhaps had been of Roxbury a short time, as most of the early Springfield people were drawn from Roxbury by Pynchon, had David, born 8 June 1642; Mary, 6 April 1644; Jonathan, 25 February 1646; Sarah, 23 August 1648; Joseph, 6 July 1652; and perhaps more. He died 29 November 1682, and his wife Mary, died 19 September following. Mary, his daughter married 18 October 1664, the second John Root of Farmington, after of Westfield.

THOMAS ASHLEY, sometimes THOMAS ASHLY, Maine 1634, may have removed to Boston 1658, where wife Joanna died 27 December 1661, and he married the last of next month widow Hannah Broome.

THOMAS ASHLEY, sometimes THOMAS ASHLY, Boston, by wife Mary, had Mary; born 1 September 1681; Thomas, 3 December 1682; and Ann, 17 September 1684.

WILLIAM ASHLEY, sometimes WILLIAM ASHLY, Wells, appointed constable there 4 July 1659. Eight of this name had in 1767 been graduates at Yale, and since that date one at Harvard and one at Dartmouth.

HENRY ASHTON, Boston 1673, from County Lancaster, England was, I suppose, of Providence 1676, one of the men entitled, for staying out the war, to record an Indian for a slave.

JAMES ASHTON, Providence 1639, freeman 1655, swore allegiance to Charles II May 1666, and perhaps removed to New Jersey.

JOHN ASHTON, Scarborough, married for his second wife Susanna Foxwell, daughter of Richard Foxwell of the same, but the date is uncertain, yet probably between 1670 and 80, and in the great Indians war 1675-6, was of Marblehead. Southgate, page 82 makes him have for first wife, a daughter of Andrew Alger, but after removed says, he married Mary Edgcomb, daughter of Nicholas Edgcomb, widow of George Page. Yet the same wife is ascribed to John Austin, and all that we can be sure of, is that nothing is sure about the matter.

THOMAS ASHTON, Providence 1639, perhaps brother of James Ashton. Both are called proprietors and that no more can be told of either, is rather remarkable.

JOHN ASLETT, or JOHN ARSLEBY, Newbury, married 8 October 1648, Rebecca Ayer of Haverhill, removed to Andover, there had Hannah, who married a Brown; Rebecca, born 6 May 1652, married 15 December 1674, Timothy Johnson; Mary, 24 April 1654, married 20 November 1671, Samuel Frye; John, 16 February 1657; Sarah, 14 January 1659, died soon; Ruth, 8 August 1660; Sarah, again, 14 August 1662, married a Cole; Elizabeth, died 15 March 1667; Samuel, died 20 December 1669; both, probably infants; and died 6 June 1671.

JOHN ASLETT, or JOHN ARSLEBY, Andover, son of the preceding, married 8 July 1680, Mary Osgood, daughter of Captain John Osgood, died 1728. Sometimes the name is Aslebe. See Abbot, History 13, 26, and 201.

ELEAZER ASPINWALL, or ELEAZER ASPENALL, Meridell, son of Peter Aspinwall, had perhaps been sent by his father to settle at Woodstock, or New Roxbury, as it was first called took charge, 1720, of a great farm belonging to Governor Belcher, lying between Hartford and New Haven, had wife Mary, and children Aaron, Mary, Ann, and several others; and Hinman says, he died about 1742, the inventory of good estate being of 2 July.

JOSEPH ASPINWALL, or JOSEPH ASPENALL, Cambridge, twin brother of the preceding, in early life was a mariner, traded to very diverse regions, France, Jamaica, South America, at New York was a Lieutenant, married a niece of Lord Bellomont, and for second wife had the widow of Samuel Smith, and died near his birth place about 1743. The family of this name at New York are derived from him.

NATHANIEL ASPINWALL, or NATHANIEL ASPENALL, Woodstock, brother of the preceding, had gone with his younger brother Thomas Aspinwall under their neighbor Captain Andrew Gardner, in that disastrous expedition of Sir William Phips, 1690, against Canada, in which young Aspinwall and his commander perished. After returning, married a Bowen, as family tradition tells, had Nathaniel, and Peter; but no more is known except from his will of 15 February 1712, at Woodstock, probated at Boston (as Woodstock was called of County Suffolk) 4 June 1713, in which the name of his wife Abigail is seen, but neither names nor number of children.

PETER ASPINWALL, or PETER ASPENALL, Dorchester, came from Toxteth Park, adjacent to Liverpool, County Lancaster, but was early of Boston, in that part called Muddy river now Brookline, where he purchased with Robert Sharp the large grant of William Colbron, though he joined with the church of Dorchester, family tradition makes his first wife a Merrill, and in sixteen years she died without children, but more exact is my information of his marriage with Alice Sharp, "one of our brothers Mr. William Tyng's maid servant" as the record of Cotton's children has notice of her administration 9 October 1642, because the same record tells of her having "now the wife of one Peter Aspinwall of Dorchester" letters of recommendation 30 March 1645. I suppose she was sister of Robert, but brought no children to her husband, on 12 February 1662 he married Remember Palfrey, daughter of Peter Palfrey of Reading, and had by her ten children: Samuel, born November 4 or by Boston record 10, baptized 16 following; Peter, 4 or by Boston record 14 June 1664; Nathaniel, 5 June 1666; Thomas, 21 January 1668; Mehitable, baptized 19 December 1669, who died unmarried long past middle life; Elizabeth, born 21, baptized 26 November 1671; Eleazer and Joseph twins, born 9 November 1673; Mary, 4 August 1677; and Timothy, 1682, died at Boston, during appearance of smallpox; but of the time of his death or his wife's I have no account. Elizabeth married first a Stevens of Salem, next Daniel Draper of Dedham; and Mary married a Baker of Northampton. His will of 29 November 1687, probated 28 January 1692, in Volume VIII. 67, names wife and the half score of children all alive.

PETER ASPINWALL, or PETER ASPENALL, Woodstock, son of the preceding, one of the early settlers sent by his father to help on the plantation of New Roxbury, as it was first called, married a widow Leavens, probably from Roxbury, had one daughter only known without name.

SAMUEL ASPINWALL, or SAMUEL ASPENALL, Brookline, eldest son of Peter Aspinwall the first, married Sarah Stevens of Roxbury, had Thomas; Samuel Aspinwall, Harvard College 1714; Mehitable; Elizabeth, and Sarah; was a Lieutenant at the capture of Port Royal 1690, and Captain at the time of his death, which occurred by drowning in Charles River 6 September 1727. His son Thomas was father of William Aspinwall, Harvard College 1764, a distinguished physician of the early part of this century and father of Colonel Thomas Aspinwall, Harvard College 1804, late consul of the United States at London, so well known for his studies in our early history which still enjoys a valuable part of the original homestead of Peter Aspinwall the first.

WILLIAM ASPINWALL, or WILLIAM ASPENALL, Charlestown 1630, probably came in the fleet with Winthrop, served on the first jury of inquest in the Colony 28 September of that year, was one of the first members of the church being number 10, and chosen one of the two Deacons at organization of church, soon removed to Boston, freeman 3 April 1632, Representative chosen in place of Henry Vane, who went home August 1637; but as a supporter of Wheelwright, and follower of the teaching of Mrs. Hutchinson, was dismissed, disarmed, disfranchised, and banished. First he went to Rhode Island, with so many other of his fellow saints, and was Secretary of that Colony, but short time he lived at New Haven 1641 and 2, yet came again, by favor of Court, to Boston, was clerk of the writs, or recorder, and Artillery Company 1643; certainly a proprietor at Watertown, though never resided there, went home, and in 1653 published a queer book as prognostic of the millennium to open in 20 years. No mortification was felt probably by him for non-arrival of this fifth monarchy, as I suppose he did not even live to see the success of the rival dynasty. Cromwell alone was powerful enough to retard such event, and the whole body of the people of England with unanimous that was never before or since equalled in that kingdom by calls for the restoration of the house of Stuart postponed the success of such enthusiasm. Of his family my report will be less exact than should be expected, yet that is not for failure of diligent inquiry. By wife Elizabeth Stanley, (somehow sister of Christopher Stanley, more probably of his wife Susanna, who became wife of Lieutenant William Phillips) he had Edward, born 26 September 1630, died soon; Hannah, 25 December 1631; and of neither is the record of baptized preserved. Elizabeth, of whose birth the town record is deficient, was baptized 22 September 1633; Samuel, equally unknown by town record was baptized 20th September 1635; Ethannah, born 1, baptized 12 March 1637; and Dorcas, born in his banishment 14 February 1640, and perhaps Mary. Hannah married 1651, John Angier.

JAMES ASTWOOD, Roxbury, came (with wife Sarah and a child who soon died) in May 1638, had James, born 29 November 1638; John, 20 September 1610, died at 6 months; John, again, whose birth is wrong on record of town, as he was baptized 6 March 1642; Joseph, 19 November 1643, died soon; Joseph, again, 10 November 1644; both these dates being given as record of births that may well be doubted as both were the days of baptisms, Sarah, baptized 14 June 1646; and Mary, 26 December 1647; of whose dates of birth it may be slightly lamented that we are ignorant. He was freeman 22 May 1639, removed to Boston to became one of the founders of the Second Church where the name is ulitized, probably as sounding Ashwood. The daughter Mary, died 21 January 1652; and he died the year after. His will of September 1653, probated 13 October following, is abbreviated in Genealogical Registrar VII. 337; and his widow refused execution of that instrument, by which the estate was divided into seven parts, excused herself as going to England. In Volume VIII. 62 of the same periodical where the name appears Astod, as if the alphabet were short, as page 275 proves were the assets, not above 1/6 in the £, we see adequate apology.

JOHN ASTWOOD, Roxbury, came by the Hopewell, Captain Bundocke, in the spring of 1635, aged 26, a husbandman from Stanstead Abbey, County Herts, at Roxbury had a wife Martha, who may have come in the same ship, was freeman 3 March 1636, removed to Milford 1639, there married next year Sarah, widow of Sylvester Baldwin, was chosen Representative 1643 and 4, afterwards an Assistant of the Colony, and a Commissioner of the United Colonies in 1653, went home, as agent, the next year and died at London soon. His widow died November 1669.

JOHN ATCHINSON, or JOHN ATCHISON, Hatfield 1672, killed by the Indians 19 September 1677, leaving Elizabeth, Mary, John, and Benoni, of which the last died 1704 at Springfield, and John died 1738 at Brimfield.

SIMON ATHEARN, Martha's Vineyard, had come from New Hampshire it is said, and married Mary Butler, was Representative 1692, first under the new Charter by which that Island was taken from New York, and given to Massachusetts, died 26 February 1711, aged 71. His children Solomon, Jethro, and Zerviah were baptized at Barnstable, 14 July 1700, in right of his wife. Descendants are numerous at the Vineyard.

JOHN ATHERSTON, Boston, came from London, 1634, in the Susan and Ellen, aged 24; but we see not any account of his residence returned or death.

CONSIDER ATHERTON, Dorchester, son of Humphrey Atherton of the same, married 19 December 1661 Ann Annable, as Mr. Clapp, the history of Dorchester assures me, and I wish he could say, whose daughter she was, had Humphrey Atherton, whose pious duty in repairing the sepulchre of his grandfather the town rewarded by grant of 9 acres of meadow.

HOPE ATHERTON, Hatfield, son of Humphrey Atherton, after leaving college taught for some time the grade school at Dorchester, began in 1669 to preach, was ordained 1671, freeman 1672, married 1674, Sarah Hollister, daughter of John Hollister of Wethersfield, had Hope and Joseph, twins born 7 January 1675, of who Hope probably died soon; and Sarah, 26 October 1676. He served as chaplain in Philip's war, to those forces employed in the neighborhood, and at the battle of the Falls in Montague was present, 18 May 1676, under Captain Turner, whose name has been since given to the cataract. During the retreat he was thrown from his horse, and lost in the woods; and tradition tells (Hoyt's Antiq. Research. 133, 4), that the Indians to who he in his destitute offered to surrender; so reverence or fear, his madness or sanctity, as to refuse to record him. He reached home uninjured except in the mind, having strange hallucinations probably from exhaustion or sleeplessness or hunger, and died 8 June 1677. The widow married Timothy Baker.

HUMPHREY ATHERTON, Dorchester 1636, came, perhaps, from Preston in Lancashire, where the name continued so late as 1780; was freeman 2 May 1638, Artillery Company the same year, and its Captain 1650, often selectman, and Representative nine years from 1638, but not in successive years, and an Assistant chosen annually 1654 to his death, and in 1656, succeeded Sedgwick, as Major-General. He died 16 September 1661, says the inscription printed in Alden's Epit. and as that was Monday, and probably refers to the cause of his death, thrown from his horse, on return from military. Reverend on Boston common by riding over a cow, I prefer to say 17 September (about one o'clock A.M. according to the MS of John Hull's Diary). Captain Johnson, in Wonderwork, provided of Zion's Saviour; gives him good character; and Hubbard excites our fears, that everybody did not value him so highly, when he remarks, that by some "the manner of his death was noted as a judgment". Of what sin this judgment was thus noted, we may hardly venture to guess, though when mortals direct the bolts of eternal justice, their aim is commonly unanimous. Strangely it seems to me, is the indefiniteness of our knowledge of so prominent a man; for even the name of his wife is not seen. Yet ten or eleven children are known at least by name, and one or more there may have been of unknown names; one or more born in England, one or more of unknown sex, if we are compelled to guess by their names; and one or more died before the father. Of sons, the oldest was Jonathan; of daughters Catharine (sometimes called Elizabeth), but which of the two, both born in England was elder, is uncertain. Other children were Rest, baptized 26 May 1639; Increase, 2 January 1642; Thankful, 28 April 1644; Hope Atherton, 30 August 1646, Harvard College 1665, before mentioned; Mary, who must not be the same as Margaret, whose dates of birth or baptisms are equally undiscoved; Watching, baptized 24 August 1651; Patience, 2 April 1654; and Consider. Great perseverance was needed to learn that Catharine married 1650, Timothy Mather; Margaret married 30 December 1659, James Trowbridge, and died 17 June 1672; Rest married 15 March 1661, Obadiah Swift; Thankful married 2 April 1665, Thomas Bird junior; Mary married 9 April 1667, Joseph Weeks; and Patience married Isaac Humphrey.

JAMES ATHERTON, Dorchester; perhaps brother of the preceding, removed to Lancaster, where he had James, born 13 May 1654; and Joshua, 13 May 1656; and soon after returned to Dorchester, and living 1678 at Milton, but at last removed to Sherburn, and died 1707, aged 86, unless deduction be made for a common disposal to exaggerate. If conjecture be indulged that he was son of Humphrey Atherton (which seems to me improbable) very large subtraction will be needed.

JONATHAN ATHERTON, Dorchester, eldest son of Humphrey Atherton, a mariner, had administration of estate of the father, and trouble enough with the interest by his father with Gookin, Hudson, and others taken in the Narraganset lands, and there he had to plant, I believe, a son Increase Atherton, unless this were his brother. But who was his wife or what family he had, is unlined.

JOSHUA ATHERTON, Lancaster, son of James Atherton, married Mary Gulliver of Milton, had several children of who I know only, that the sixth and youngest son Peter Atherton was father of Joshua Atherton, Harvard College 1762, who was father of Honorable Charles H. Atherton of Amherst, New Hampshire, graduate at Harvard College 1794.

WATCHING ATHERTON, Dorchester, son of Humphrey Atherton, married 23 January 1678, Elizabeth Rigby, daughter of Samuel Rigby, had two children whose names are not told; removed to Bristol, there in February 1689 counted four children.

WILLIAM ATHERTON, Boston, came from Barbados, in the ship Nathaniel, embarked 4 October 1671. Of this name, in 1834, five had been graduates at Harvard and two at Dartmouth.

ABRAHAM ATKINS, may have been of Boston, or some neighboring town, as he is of Artillery Company 1642.

HENRY ATKINS, Yarmouth 1641, removed to Plymouth, by wife Elizabeth, married 9 July 1647, had Mary, born 13 March 1649, who died at 2 years; Samuel, 24 February 1652, who died young; Isaac, 15 June 1654, died young; removed to Eastham, there had Isaac, again, 14 June 1657; and his wife died 14 March 1662. He married 25 March 1664, Bethia Linnell, had Desire, 7 May 1665; John, 15 December 1666, died young; Nathaniel, 25 December 1667; Joseph, 4 March 1669; Thomas, 19 June 1671; John, again, 6 August 1674; Mercy, 24 November 1676; and Samuel, again, 25 June 1679.

JAMES ATKINS, Roxbury, had been of Braintree, was a soldier in the Narranset bloody campaign, of December 1675, by wife Margaret, had James, born February 1683, died at 1 year; James, again, 31 March 1684; and no more is heard of him.

JOSEPH ATKINS, Eastham, son of Henry Atkins, by wife Martha, had Joseph, born 9 December 1701; Martha, 9 November 1711; Ann, 12 December 1713; Paul, 11 August 1716; James, 25 December 1718; John, 18 January 1721; Uriah, 7 September 1722; and Hannah, 4 April 1725.

MATTHEW ATKINS, Boston, freeman 1673, in Colony record called of Second Church at the date of October though the church list gives him not until December.

NATHANIEL ATKINS, Eastham, son of Henry Atkins, had Nathaniel, born 21 November 1694; Henry, 2 August 1696; Bethia, 4 May 1698; Joshua, April 1702; Isaiah, 24 February 1704; and Elizabeth, 4 January 1709.

THOMAS ATKINS, Boston, carpenter, by wife Mary, had Elizabeth, born 30 December 1672; Thomas, 26 February 1674; and married for second 11 August 1687, widow Abigail Jones, had Abigail, 3 June 1688; and Richard, 12 October 1689. In 1676 he was made Captain of the first fire engine introduced into the town.

TOBIAS ATKINS, Boston, by wife Ann, had Ann, born 2 July 1684; and Eliphal, 4 December 1688. By marriage of a daughter Catharine, of Governor Joseph Dudley with Joseph Atkins, the name of Dudley Atkins has long been perpetuated as at Harvard college 1748, 1784, and 1816, the second in the list, which took in addition the name of Tyn, from an earlier ancestor was a distinguished gentleman at Newburyport and Boston. See 3 Massachusetts History Collections II. 280.

JOHN ATKINSON, JOHN ADKINSON, or JOHN ATKESON, Newbury, son of the first Theodore Atkinson, was a hatter, married 27 April 1664, Sarah Mirick, had Sarah, born 27 November 1665; John; Thomas Atkinson, 27 December 1669, who may be well recorded as Harvard College 1691, whose death is not marked in the catalogue, but Coffin following Mather, makes it before 1699; Theodore, 23 January 1672, drowned at 13 years; Abigail, 8 November 1673; Samuel, 16 January 1676; Nathaniel, 29 November 1677; Elizabeth, 20 June 1680; and Joseph, 1 May 1682.

JOSEPH ATKINSON, JOSEPH ADKINSON, or JOSEPH ATKESON, Exeter, in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 77, said to have been administered freeman 14 July 1657, at that place; upon which arises the question by what authority was he administered and no more can, I think, be told.

LUKE ATKINSON, LUKE ADKINSON, or LUKE ATKESON, New Haven, of the earliest settlers, signed the compact 1639, before 1643 is counted with family of four, married 1 May 1651, probably as second wife Mary Platt, daughter of Richard Platt of Milford, had Mary, born 1652; Hannah, 1653; and Sarah, 1655; removed next year, whither is unknown perhaps to Middletown, for there his widow married 3 January 1667, Thomas Whitmore, or Wetmore, and bore him two children named in his will by their grandfather Platt in 1683.

MARMADUKE ATKINSON, MARMADUKE ADKINSON, or MARMADUKE ATKESON, Scituate, married 1670, Mary Jenkins, daughter of Edward Jenkins, and in 1674 she obtained divorce for his desertion. Deane.

THEODORE ATKINSON, THEODORE ADKINSON, or THEODORE ATKESON, Boston, 1634, feltmaker, came, in the employment of John Newgate, from Bury in County Lancaster, joining the church 11 January 1635, freeman 18 May 1642, by first wife Abigail, had John, before mentioned, whose day of birth or baptism is not found (but we may doubt, that Genealogical Registrar VII. 349 makes him 44 years old in 1678 is too liberal by seven or eight years); Theodore, born 19, baptized 28 April 1644; Nathaniel Atkinson, 28, baptized 30 November 1645, Harvard College 1667, died by Mather's calalogue; Abigail, 24 August 1647, died young,; Thomas, 1654; Abigail, again, 9 December 1657; and by second wife married October 1667, Mary Wheelwright, daughter of Reverend John Wheelwright, widow of Edward Lyde, had John, again, 13 June 1672; and died August 1701, aged 89. Abigail married Abraham Spencer.

THEODORE ATKINSON, THEODORE ADKINSON, or THEODORE ATKESON, Boston, son of the preceding, married Elizabeth Mitchelson, daughter of Edward Mitchelson, had Elizabeth, born 25 June 1668; Theodore, 3 October 1669; Edward, 8 September 1671; and Abigail 13 December 1672. He was killed by the Indians in the great fight of 19 December 1675, served as Sergeant in Davenport's Company at Narranganset; and his widow married 15 November following Henry Deering. Theodore Atkinson the third was a counsellor of New Hampshire 1716, and died 1719, leaving Theodore Atkinson, born at Newcastle 20 December 1697, Harvard College 1718, who became Secretary, counsel, and Chief Judge of that Province, and died 22 September 1729; the fifth Theodore Atkinson, his son, Harvard College 1757, having died without issue, in the same rank of counsellor 28 October 1769.

THOMAS ATKINSON, THOMAS ADKINSON, or THOMAS ATKESON, Concord, freeman 7 December 1636, by wife Susanna, had Susanna, born 28 April 1641; and Hannah, 5 March 1644; and he died November 1646. Both of the daughters married Caleb Brooks, the elder on 10 April 1660, and died 19 January 1669. But he had an elder daughter Rebecca, that married John Hayward; and the widow of Atkinson, married William Allen.

THOMAS ATKINSON, THOMAS ADKINSON, or THOMAS ATKESON, Plymouth 1638. Eight of this name had been graduates in 1838, six at Harvard, and two at Dartmouth.

DAVID ATWATER, New Haven 1638, came from London, signed the plantation covenant 4 June 1639, had Mercy, born 29 February, baptized 5 March 1648; Damaris, born 2 November but the church record has baptism 21 October 1649, and usually the town record is far more to be relied on than that of the church at New Haven, though the contrary is true in most towns, yet here the day assigned for baptisms in Genealogical Registrar IX. 357 may be true, though in a wonderful proportion, almost one half of the instances, it can be proven to be wrong; David, 13 July, baptized I judge, 3 August, though Mr. White gives it 13 August 1651, which we know is mistake; Joshua, 11 January baptized probably 6 February 1653, church record as Mr. White gives it, being 11, which was Friday, when John Davenport would rather have anathematized than baptized any children; John, 1 November 1654, baptized I presume, 5 of the same, though church record has 1, which was Wednesday; Jonathan, born 12 July 1656; Abigail, 3 March 1660, baptized 1 April following; Mary, 31 March 1662, baptized 20 April following as I judge, though the church record as Mr. White prints it, be 22; Samuel, born 17 September 1664; and Ebenezer, 13 January 1667; all of whom are named as living May 1676, by the will of his brother Joshua. He died 1692, and in his will the year before names all the sons except Joshua, who had lived at Wallingford, married 24 June 1680, Lydia Rockwell, daughter of John Rockwell of Windsor, and both husband and wife without children died 1681. Of the daughters I know the marriages of four, Mercy to John Austin, and Damaris to John Punderson, both on 5 November 1667; Abigail to Nathaniel Jones, 7 October 1684; and Mary to Ichabod Stow of Middletown, 22 October 1688.

JOHN ATWATER, Salem, son of Joshua Atwater, had removed with his mother from Boston on her marriage with Higginson, by wife Mehitable Wainwright, daughter of Francis Wainwright of Ipswich, had John, born 20 December 1687; Francis, 2 October 1690; and perhaps Rebecca; but certainly his wife died soon, and he married Mary Cotton, youngest daughter of Seaborn Cotton, and himself died before middle age, drowned as I have heard, 2 February 1692. His young widow married 1695, Samuel Partridge of Hatfield.

JONATHAN ATWATER, New Haven, son of David Atwater of the same, married 1 June 1681, Ruth Peck, eldest daughter of Reverend Jeremiah Peck, first minister of Greenwich, had Joshua, born 21 February 1682, died in few days; David, 5 August 1683; Jeremiah, 31 January 1685; Mary, 31 December 1686; Ruth, 31 December 1688; Jonathan, 1 November 1690; Lydia, 18 April 1693, died next year; Joseph, 9 December 1694; Stephen, 4 December 1696; and Damaris, 9 October 1698; Lydia, again, 31 July 1701.

JOSHUA ATWATER, New Haven 1638, brother of David Atwater, a merchant from London, signed the covenant 1639, married 6 May 1651, Mary Blackman, daughter of Reverend Adam Blackman of Stratford, had Ann; Samuel, born 20 June 1654, probably died young; Joshua, 10 April baptized 21 November 1658; and Mary, 1659; was Representative 1652, removed 1655 to Milford, there had the last named two children, was Assistant and Treasurer of the Colony, but removed in 1659 to Boston, there had Mary, born 15 January 1660; John, 14 August 1662, before mentioned; Abigail, 23 January 1664; Jane, with an alias Grace, on our record 9 September 1666; Elinor, 23 April 1669; and Benjamin, 16 May 1673; was a busy trader, died 16, buried 18 May 1676, leaving widow, who in few months married Reverend John Higginson of Salem, and died 9 March 1709. Ann married 1672, Jeremiah Dummer, the goldsmith of Boston, and was mother of the famous Jeremy Dummer; and Mary married John Clark, who died in Barbary of smallpox, and she next married 8 November 1694 John Coney, outlived him, and died 12 April 1726. Both these daughters and Rebecca, a granddaughter, but no sons are named in the will of Higginson's widow.

JOSHUA ATWATER, Boston, son of the preceding, by wife Rebecca, had Rebecca, born 25 February 1687; and by wife Mary, as the record (perhaps untrustworthy in this name) says, had Samuel, born 3 March 1688. Easy enough may be the conjecture as to error, that the writer in the clerk's office took Mary as wife of Joshua, because he saw such connection of parents with children few years. Before but equally easy is the other supposition that Rebecca was not the true name of the wife but carelessly given because the child had that name. To this latter suggestion is perhaps to be added that it is somewhere written that Joshua married Mary Maverick, widow of Samuel Smith, and daughter of Samuel Maverick. After long research, I am not enlightened enough to speak with decision.

SAMUEL ATWATER, New Haven, brother of Jonathan Atwater of the same, married 1691, Sarah Alling, daughter of the first John Alling, had ten children. In the New Haven family the name is perpetuated, and graduates at Yale in 1834 were counted fifteen, two at other New England colleges, none at Harvard.

BENJAMIN ATWELL, New London, by wife Mary, had Thomas, born 1670; Mary, 1672; William, 1674; John, 1675; Joseph, 1678; Richard, 1679; Samuel, 1681; and Benjamin, 1683.

BENJAMIN ATWELL, Scarborough 1663, son of a widow, born before September 1640, when his mother was a widow, but became wife of Richard Martin, was after of Falmouth, there killed by the Indians 11 August 1676, leaving Joseph only 5 years old. Willis, I. 37, 134, 140 and 3. One Joan Atwell who testified 1688, that she was 60 years old, had been, I think, widow of John Andrews, and was then widow of Benjamin Atwell.

JOSEPH ATWELL, Kittery, son of Benjamin Atwell, was, it is said, brought up by William Scriven, but no more is heard.

ELDAD ATWOOD, Eastham, probably son of Stephen Atwood, married 14 February 1684, Ann Snow, perhaps daughter of Mark Snow, had Mary, born November 1684; John, 10 August 1686; Ann, January 1688; Deborah, March 1690; Sarah, April 1692; Eldad, 9 July 1695; Ebenezer, March 1698; and Benjamin, June 1701.

HERMAN ATWOOD, Boston 1642, son of John Atwood, came from Sanderstead, County Surrey, about 15 miles from London, in employment of Thomas Buttolph, administered of the Church 24 February 1644, Artillery Company 1644, freeman 1645, married 11 August 1646, Ann Cop, daughter of William Cop, had John, born 5 October 1647; and Sarah, baptized 26 May 1650; and he died 1651. His widow married 10 March 1652, Thomas Saxton, and died 23 June 1661.

JOHN ATWOOD, Plymouth 1636, came from London, was an Assistant 1638, treasurer of the Colony 1641 to his death 1644, had good estate leaving widow Ann, but no issue, unless that Mary Wood, very often used for Atwood, who married 11 December 1661, John Holmes, who became minister of Duxbury, were his daughter which is very unlikely, for in his will of 20 October 1643, as Winsor, 180, tells, he names no children, but gives most of his property to wife who died 1 June 1654, and in her will, of 27 April 1650, she divides her estate between brother and sister, Robert and Mary Lee, and her nephew William Crowe. Here he had named brother Lee Atwood and his wife and their children Ann and Mary, besides his little kinsman, William Crowe.

JOHN ATWOOD, Boston, son of Herman Atwood, Artillery Company 1673, was its Lieutenant 1695, and Deacon of the Second Church, by first wife Sarah, had John, born 23 May 1671, died young; James, 3 June 1673; Samuel, 18 May 1687; and Sarah, 11 November 1688; and by second wife Mary Smith, daughter of Francis Smith, married 27 October 1690, had Mary, baptized 6 September 1691; John, again, born 16, baptized 18 February 1694; Samuel, baptized 29 March 1696; Ann, born 19, baptized 20 June 1697; Elizabeth, baptized 21 August 1698; Abigail, 19 November 1699; and Joshua, born 10, baptized 13 April 1701. He died 26 August 1714, and his widow died 18 March 1729.

JONATHAN ATWOOD, Woodbury, son of Thomas Atwood of Wethersfield, married 5 November 1701, Sarah Terrill, daughter of Roger Terrill, had Nathan, born 6 September 1702; Mary, 22 October 1703, died soon; Mary, again, 20 April 1705; Jonathan, 9 September 1710; and Oliver, 11 March 1717; was a physician, and died 1 January 1733, as Cothren, 490, says, but 11 February of that year according to Hinman.

JOSEPH ATWOOD, Taunton, married 1 January 1680, Esther Walker, daughter of James Walker, had Joseph, born 4 August 1681; John, 28 February 1683; Ephraim; and perhaps Joanna. His wife died 8 April 1696, aged 46, and he died 12 February following, aged 47.

JOSIAH ATWOOD, Wethersfield, brother of Jonathan Atwood, married 16 February 1710, Bathshebia Lattimore, daughter of Bazaleel Lattimore, had Abigail, born 6 December following; Oliver, 1 March 1716; Jedediah, 28 June 1719; Josiah and Hezekiah, twins 13 April 1727; and Asher, 27 December 1729.

MEDAD ATWOOD, Eastham, son of Stephen Atwood, by wife Esther, had Mercy, born 26 June 1686; Abigail, 15 June 1689; David, 20 October 1691; Samuel, 20 March 1695; Esther, 15 March 1699; Phebe, 9 June 1702; and Nathan, 27 June 1700.

OLIVER ATWOOD, Malden, youngest son of Philip Atwood the first, married in 1700 Ann Betts.

PHILIP ATWOOD, Malden 1653, came from London in the Susan and Ellen, 1635, aged 13, or in the Planter, aged 12, for, I suppose, by the double entry only one boy is meant, had Rachel, born August 1653; Mary, January 1656; Philip, September 1658; Abigail, December 1662; Elizabeth, August 1669; and Oliver, April 1671; all probably by wife Rachel Bachiler, daughter I judge, of William Bachiler of Charlestown, who died 5 February or 7 November 1674, the same record in Genealogical Registrar X. 241, coming from a most scrupulous hand, gives both dates. He married 7 April 1675, Elizabeth Grover, widow of Thomas, and she died 3 April 1688. His daughter Elizabeth married 26 November following Philip Fowle. Perhaps he lived some years at Bradford.

PHILIP ATWOOD, Lynn, son probably of the preceding, married at Bradford, 23 July 1684, Sarah Tenny of Bradford, had at Malden, Susanna, born 1 February 1687; Sarah, 13 April 1689; Rachel, 15 November 1691; but perhaps others before or after removal.

STEPHEN ATWOOD, Eastham, married 6 November 1644, Abigail Dunham, daughter of John Dunham, had John, died soon; Hannah, born 14 October 1669; probably Eldad; and Medad, 16 January 1659; and died February 1694.

THOMAS ATWOOD, Hartford 1664, by idle tradition called a Captain under Cromwell, was really a physician, and, 1668, of Wethersfield, by wife Abigail, had Abigail, born 30 September of that year; Andrew, 1 September 1671; Jonathan, 8 June 1675; and Joseph, 4 October 1678; all living at his death 1682.

THOMAS ATWOOD, Ipswich, died 3 April 1694; and his widow Elizabeth, by whom I know not that he had issue, married 9 September 1697, John West of the same, and died 20 August 1720.

WILLIAM ATWOOD, Charlestown, freeman 1662. Of this name four have been graduates at Yale, all descendants of Herman Atwood, of who John of the class of 1814, and Charles, 1821, are brothers of Harriet Newell, the celebrated missionary in the East Indies.

WILLIAM AUBREY, Boston, merchant, came in virtue of a contract made 1650, from London, factor for the iron works at Lynn, and was administered 1652 of Artillery Company, married 18 January 1653, Rachel Rawson, daughter of Secretary Edward Rawson.

JOHN AUDLEY, Boston 1632, thus spelled on the church record where his name stands number 139; but commonly it is Odlin or Odlyn.

ANDREW AUGER, ANDREW AGAR, or ANDREW AUGUR, Saco, or Scarborough, perhaps better entitled. See Alger.

BENJAMIN AUGER, BENJAMIN AGAR, or BENJAMIN AUGUR, Salem, son of William Auger of the same, a shipwright, married Ann Cromwell, daughter of Thomas Cromwell, had Benjamin, and Thomas, perhaps others, and died November 1671. His widow married 26 June 1672, David Phippen.

JOHN AUGER, JOHN AGAR, or JOHN AUGUR, Boston, by wife Hannah, had John, born 16 September 1652.

JONATHAN AUGER, JONATHAN AGAR, or JONATHAN AUGUR, Salem, brother of Benjamin Auger, had perhaps Jonathan, who died young; and Mary, mentioned in a deed of 1709; but we know not his whereabouts nor of him any thing more, except that in testifying 19 October 1716, he called himself 77 years old.

NICHOLAS AUGER, NICHOLAS AGAR, or NICHOLAS AUGUR, New Haven 1643, a physician and trader, swore allegiance 5 August 1644, had brothers John Auger and Robert Auger (unless the latter were nephews) to whom with sister Esther Coster, he gave most of his estate that was a good one, by will of 20 September 1669, being "bound on a voyage to Boston." Yet he got back safe, and lived several years. He was the sufferer, I judge, in 1676 and 7, on the voyage from Boston to New Hampshire cast away on a desolate Island in the little vessel with Ephraim How, near Cape Sable, relation of which in Mather's best manner, may be read in Magnalia VI. appropriately called Thaumaturgus, c. 1. Of his inventory of £1638 the date is 26 February 1678. The larger part his sister had, to brother John Auger (probably then in England) the bequeath was only £20, and John's son Nicholas Auger had £100, and another son had £40, and Robert Auger, £150. After Mrs. Coster died 5 April 1691, Robert, the next of kin, resisted probate of her will, continued some bequeaths for "support of religion and learning;" but he met with no success.

ROBERT AUGER, ROBERT AGAR, or ROBERT AUGUR, New Haven, probably nephew, though Dodd calls him brother of the preceding, married 20 November 1673, Mary Gilbert, daughter of Deputy Governor Matthew Gilbert, had Esther, born 19 October 1677; John, 26 November 1678, died young; Ann, 14 November 1682; Mary, again, 1683, died soon; and John, again, 16 November 1686; but the last was by second wife.

THOMAS AUGER, THOMAS AGAR, or THOMAS AUGUR, Watertown 1663, of which Bond, writing his name Agar, found not wife or children but probably he removed to Taunton, for the record of that town tells, that he married November 1665, Elizabeth Packer. But I think she may have been daughter of Samuel Packard of Bridgewater, and her husband lived in that town, perhaps, but they had then no magistrate authorized to solemnize marriages.

WILLIAM AUGER, WILLIAM AGAR, or WILLIAM AUGUR, Salem 1636, perhaps earlier, for he was administered freeman of Massachusetts 18 May 1631, when the Secretary gave the name Agar; by wife Alice, had Benjamin, baptized 12 February 1637; and Jonathan, 10 November 1639; besides elder children Joseph, and Abigail, who became wife of Joseph Kibben, or Kibby; and he died 1654. His will of 31 May, probated November in that year, names the wife and four children but notes, that Joseph was abroad. In 1st. Collections of Essex Inst. I. 11, Mr. Patch finds the date of his will to be 3 March and of probate June of that year.

WILLIAM AUGER, WILLIAM AGAR, or WILLIAM AUGUR, Malden, married 7 December 1659, Ruth Hill, daughter of Abraham Hill, had William, born 20 April 1661, died soon; William, again, 30 November 1662; another perhaps John, October 1667.

JOHN AUGUSTINE, Reading 1677, had come from the Isle of Jersey, and had service in the Company of Turner in the latter part of Philip's war, and in that year by deed on our record sold to John Brock; of the same place all the goods and chattel house and lands left to him by father and mother. He married 10 January 1677, Elizabeth Brown, daughter of John Brown of Watertown, as Bond, 145, tells; and in 1680 took a grant of land at Falmouth from President Danforth, and bought more; but on destruction by the Indians and French, 1690, he removed to Lynn, but went back to Falmouth 1719. He left widow Elizabeth, and children Samuel, John, Ebenezer, Thomas, David, Sarah, and Abigail, of who descendants are found in the vicinity to this day. Gradual change occurs in his name to Gustan, or Gustin, and is justified by his own writing, but the wild perversity of a scrivener had pleasure in turning him into Augustine John. See Suff. Deeds, X. 131, and Willis, I. 161, 210.

JOHN AULT, sometime written JOHN OLT, Portsmouth 1631, sent out by Mason, the royal proprietor lived at Dover 1648 to 1657, in which year he was 73 years old, and was living 1679. By wife Remembrance, he had John; Remembrance, who married John Rand; and Rebecca, who married Thomas Edgelly.

ANTHONY AUSTIN, Rowley, freeman 1669, had Richard, born 22 September 1666; Anthony, 7 December 1668; John, 22 October 1672; removed to Suffield, there had Nathaniel, 20 May 1678; Elizabeth, 1681, died young; Elizabeth, again; 20 April 1684; Esther, 11 January 1686; and died 29 August 1708, his wife having died ten years before, descendants are numerous.

DAVID AUSTIN, New Haven, son of John Austin, by wife Abigail, had Abigail, born 5 April 1699; David, 20 October 1703; Stephen, 1 January 1705; Jonathan, 27 April 1708; Mercy, 1710; and Lydia.

EBENEZER AUSTIN, Charlestown, son of the second Richard Austin, married 8 July 1685, widow Thankful Benjamin, had Sarah, born 24 October following if no error be in the record; Elizabeth, 26 April 1687; and his wife died 4 March 1691. He married 27 January 1692, Rebecca Sprague, daughter of Samuel Sprague of Malden, had Benjamin, 24 February 1697; Rebecca, 8 February 1700; both probably died young; Ebenezer, 21 January 1704; John, 15 May 1706; Nathaniel, 3 February 1708; Timothy, 16 December 1710, probably died young; Rebecca, again, 21 August 1715; Benjamin, again, 9 March 1717; Timothy, again; and Samuel, 6 May 1721; and died 16 January 1723. From this last Benjamin, who married 9 December 1742 Elizabeth Waldo, came Honorable Jonathan L. Austin, born 22 December 1747, Harvard College 1766, who was father of Honorable James T. Austin, late Attorney General of Massachusetts, Harvard College 1802; and Honorable Benjamin Austin, born 18 November 1752, long a prominent politician.

FRANCIS AUSTIN, Dedham, whence he removed to Hampton 1640, there had, by wife Isabella, both Jemima, and Sophia, baptized 24 January 1641; but I know no more.

JOHN AUSTIN, New London 1647, removed after 1651, to Greenwich next, in few years to Stamford, there died 25 August 1657, leaving widow Catharine, son Samuel, who died soon after his father; daughter Elizabeth, who married about 1670, Joseph Finch; and perhaps John, who was a landholder 1687-1701 both in Greenwich and Stamford.

JOHN AUSTIN, New Haven, married 5 November 1667, Mercy Atwater, daughter of the first David Atwater, had John, born 23 April 1669, died at six years; David, 23 February 1671, before mentioned; Joshua, 3 September 1673; Mary; John and Hannah, twins 14 October 1677; Mercy, 17 April 1680, died young; a son 5 April 1683, died soon; and his wife died nine days after. He married 21 January 1685, Elizabeth Brackett, and had Sarah, 23 January 1686; and Elizabeth, 1687. In 1675, a widow Joan Jones, perhaps near relative, gave him very good estate and he died 1690; and his widow was dead 1695.

JOHN AUSTIN, Scarborough, who married a daughter of Andrew Alger, is more commonly called Ashton, see, also Southgate, 82.

JOHN AUSTIN of Hartford, married Mary, widow of Nathaniel Hooker, may be one generation later than the son of him of New Haven.

JONAH AUSTIN, Hingham 1635, came in the Hercules, with wife Constance, from Sandwich, County Kent. He was of Tenterden; and the Mayor of that borough, John Austin, perhaps his father or near relative certified about taking the oath in 3 Massachusetts History Collections VIII. 274. Perhaps he first sat down at Cambridge, then called Newtown, and was not many years at Hingham, being found at Taunton 1643, and he died there 30 July 1683.

JONAH AUSTIN, Taunton, probably son of the preceding, married perhaps Frances Hill, daughter of John Hill of Dorchester, though Colony record makes her husband to be Jonah Allen senior. He died 10 May 1676, some years before his father, and of children I hear only of John, born 1 July 1671. See Baylies II. 270.

JOSEPH AUSTIN, Hampton 1642, Dover 1648, was of the grand jury 1651, and died 1663. His will of 6 June 1642, directs equal division of his property between all his children, but the name only of Thomas has reached us is daughter Mary, married 17 May 1674, Richard Gardner, junior of Nantucket; but she was by second wife. In 1659 he took second wife Sarah Starbuck, widow of William Story, daughter of Elder Edward Starbuck; and she had third husband Humphrey Varney.

JOSEPH AUSTIN, Charlestown, son of Richard Austin the second, married 10 November 1692, Elizabeth Pitts; and I know no more, except by his will of 1736, probated 18 June 1739, in which Elizabeth is named besides children Joseph, Richard, Abigail, wife of Samuel Webb, and Elizabeth, wife of Eleazer Johnson.

LEONARD AUSTIN, New Haven, brother of John Austin, a weaver, died 1678 unmarried.

RICHARD AUSTIN, Charlestown, came in the Bevis, from Southampton, 1638, with wife and two children. He was then aged 40, and had been a tailor at Bishopstoke in County Hants.

RICHARD AUSTIN, Charlestown, probably son of the preceding, brought by him from longing, married 11 November 1659, Abigail Batchelder, daughter of William Batchelder, had Samuel, born 1660; Ebenezer, 27 August 1662; Abigail, 24 April 1664; Richard, 30 November 1665; Joseph, 21 February 1667; Benjamin, 24 January 1669; William, 6 August 1671; Elizabeth, 6 May 1673; Rachel, 7, baptized 28 May 1676; James, 17 June 1673; and John, 10 December 1681. His wife died 1 February 1694, aged 56; and he died 15 August 1703, aged 71. Abigail married 11 September 1688, John Kettle junior; Elizabeth married Jonathan Loring of Boston; and of several of the children no account is seen, so that, perhaps, some died young.

RICHARD AUSTIN, Charlestown, son of the preceding, married 27 November 1691, Mehitable Welsteed, daughter of William Welsteed, and died 6 September 1694. His widow Mehitable married January 1700, Benjamin Gibson.

RICHARD AUSTIN, Suffield, eldest son of Anthony Austin, married 18 January 1699, Dorothy Adams, had Richard, born 4 October following; Dorothy, 26 July 1701; Jacob, 1 June 1704; Ebenezer, 22 April 1706; Ann, 16 January 1709; Joseph, 26 January 1711; Rebecca, 16 April 1713; Moses, 25 April 1716; and Elias, 14 April 1718.

SAMUEL AUSTIN, Dover 1649, was of Wells, and constable 1655, and Representative 1682.

SAMUEL AUSTIN, Charlestown, son of Richard Austin the second, by wife Sarah, had Abigail, Sarah, Mary, Mehitable, Ann, and Samuel, and died 23 June 1716.

THOMAS AUSTIN, Greenwich 1675, perhaps son of John Austin the first, removed to the adjacent town of Bedford, there living 1686-97.

THOMAS AUSTIN, Dover, son of Joseph Austin of the same, by wife Ann, had Rose, born 1678; Sarah, 1682; Nathaniel, 1687; Thomas, 1689; Joseph, 1692; Nicholas and Ann, twins 1695; Samuel, 1698; and Benjamin, 1704.

WILLIAM AUSTIN, Charlestown, son of Richard Austin the second, married 30 June 1696, Hannah Trarice, daughter probably of John Trarice of the same; but I find no more of him. One of this surname, whose baptized name is not seen, would have gone home in 1638, from New Haven, with large property but was taken by the Turks, and sold at Algiers with wife and family, as is related in Winthrop History II. 12, 13; so that probably no descendants remain. Graduates in 1838 at Harvard were ten, Yale eight, and Dartmouth one.

WILLIAM AVERILL, Ipswich 1638, died 1653, leaving wife Abigail, and seven children not named, but in his will described. It was made 3 June 1652, and probated 29 March following.

WILLIAM AVERILL, Topsfield 1664, was probably son of the preceding, easily this name in old MS is mistaken for Avery, sometimes for Averitt, and may even be used for Everitt.

CHRISTOPHER AVERY, Glouchester, a weaver, came, I conjecture, from Salisbury in County Hants, as one of the same name living in the age preceding at that city; was selectman 1646, and several years more, in 1653 his wife was in England, in 1658 he removed to Boston, and in 1666 to New London. He had brought from England son James Avery, perhaps other children, and was old enough in 1667 to claim release from watch and training, probably died in few years, descendants have been numerous and respectable.

JAMES AVERY, Gloucester, son of the preceding, born in England about 1620, married 10 November 1643, Jane Greenslade of Boston, had Hannah, born 12 October 1644; James 16 December 1646; and Mary, 19 February 1648; removed that year to New London, there had Thomas, 6 May 1651; John, 10 February 1634; Rebecca, 6 October 1656; Jonathan, 5 January 1609; Christopher, 30 April 1661; both died young; Samuel, 14 August 1664; and Joanna, 1669. He was held in high esteem, Lieutenant, Captain, Representative 1659, often after to 1669, service in Philip's war, when he commanded the Pequot allied force, and was living in February 1694.

JAMES AVERY, New London, son of the preceding, married Deborah Stallion, daughter probably eldest of Edward Stallion, and well perpetuated the family name, though in Caulkins I see not names and dates of children.

JOHN AVERY, of New Hampshire, was one of those who solicited the protection of Massachusetts in 1689.

JONATHAN AVERY, Dedham, son of William Avery, married 22 July 1679, Sybil Sparhawk, daughter of the second Nathaniel Sparhawk of Cambridge, had Margaret, born 9 November 1681, died young; Sybil, 11 August 1683; Margaret, again, 20 August 1686; and Dorothy, 4 July 1688; and he died 16 September 1694. His widow married Reverend Michael Wigglesworth.

JOSEPH AVERY, (not John, as Mather, in his ambitious chapter 2 of Magnalia III. 77, mislead all succeeding writers, until the recent publication of our contemporary Colony record I. 154); would have been called of Marblehead, as he was going to that settlement from Ipswich, when he was lost 15 August 1635, by shipwreck of the little bark in which with his family of eleven, as his cousins, and fellow passengers. Thomas Thacher tells in his Narrative. By that, one of the most affecting and effective stories of disasters of this sort, Dr. Young enriched his Chronicles of Massachusetts from Winthrop I. 165, we hear of the wife and six small children that perished with him, but the residence no doubt, were served. He had been a minister in his native County, probably of Wiltshire, and I judge had come in the James from Southampton that brought his kinsman Thacher, but nobody informs us, at which of the Universities he was bred, or of which parish he had taught. Hubbard, 200, may not be taken for authority as to his coming, in the Angel Gabriel (if so he meant to be understood), for he was arriving at Boston the day before the Angel Gabriel weighed her anchor below Bristol. Thacher, as in the record before cited, was by our General Court made administrator, and in his inventory as well as the appointed, the deceased is named Joseph. One who reads with appreciative skill the authentic narrative will disregard the account in the Magnalia, nor wonder, why the most heedless of authors called him John.

MATTHEW AVERY, Charlestown, mariner, had wife Ann, and son John, to whom by his will of 20 April 1642, being then at London, probated 13 of next April, he devised his 400 acres of land at Charlestown.

ROBERT AVERY, Dedham, perhaps son of William Avery of the same, was the freeman of 1690, I think, spelt Awry in the invaluable list of Mr. Paige, Genealogical Registrar III. Married 13 April 1676, Elizabeth Lane, daughter of Job Lane, had Elizabeth, born 21 December 1677; Rachel, 1 September 1679; Robert, 28 November 1681; John Avery, 26 February 1685 or 4 February 1686; Harvard College 1706; Jonathan, 20 January 1695; and Abigail, 8 May 1699; and he died 4 October 1722.

SAMUEL AVERY, New London, youngest son of James Avery the first, lived on that side made Groton, of which town he was first officer, 1705.

THOMAS AVERY, Salem, came in the John and Mary, was a blacksmith, and freeman 28 December 1643.

THOMAS AVERY, New London, son of James Avery the first, married Ann Shapley, daughter of Benjamin Shapley.

WILLIAM AVERY, Dedham, a physician, or apothecary, probably both, Artillery Company 1654, had William, born about 1646; Mary; Robert, about 1649; Jonathan, 26 Mary 1653; Rachel; Hannah, 27 September 1660; and Ebenezer; 24 November 1663, who probably died young, as he is not named in the will of his father 15 October 1683. He was a Lieutenant 1673, of the town's Company and freeman 1677; possibly the bookseller, mentioned by Thomas, in his History II. 411, certainly the Representative for Springfield 1669, and he died at Boston 18 March 1687, aged about 65. His wife Margaret had died 28 September 1678. Of the daughters Mary married 5 November 1666, James Tisdale; Rachel married 22 May 1676, William Sumner; and Hannah married the same day, Benjamin Dyer.

This wife died 3 October 1690, and he married 25 August 1698, widow Mehitable Hinckley, relict of Samuel Worden, a daughter of Governor Thomas Hinckley, and died 15 December 1708. In the Collections calalogue it may be seen, that the first two of this name are not ranked by seniority, or by date of ordination (both being ministers, John Avery of Truro, the first there, ordained November 1711, and Joseph Avery, also the first of Norton, ordained 26 October 1714), or by alphabetical priority, which may, no doubt, be explained by regard to the rules that of old regulation, the assignment of places.

SAMUEL AYERS, or SAMUEL AYER, perhaps of Lynn, perhaps of Ipswich, a youth, servant to John Baker; as in documents in the record Commissioners hands of London, copied for me, came from Norwich in May 1637, in the Mary Ann of Yarmouth, aged 15, as he called himself, though his master, embarked a month earlier and designed to take this approach, yet had reason to direct him to have passage in a later ship, made him 14; yet though living in 1668, whether he had family is unknown to me.

SAMUEL AYERS, or SAMUEL AYER, Newbury, by wife Abigail, had Stephen, born 23 March 1689; by wife Sarah, had Jabez, 27 December 1690; but Coffin seems to intend two husbands as well as two wives in which he may be correct, though it appears strange, that no other children is named nor date of marriage of either mentioned, nor death of either husband or wife

SAMUEL AYRAULT, or SAMUEL AYROULD, Rhode Island, a physician, by Hinman, Ed. 2, page 90, presumed to be brother or father of the preceding, but nothing definite as to family of these Huguenots is easily accessible.
