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.

AARON CADY, or AARON CADE, Canterbury, probably youngest son of Nicholas Cady, by first wife had James, born at Watertown, 15 November 1682; and by second wife Mercy Fuller, daughter of Joshua Fuller, at Canterbury, had Aaron, 1718.

He sold his estate about 1668, and removed to Groton, but the last of his Watertown estate he sold not before 29 April 1680.

EDWARD CADWELL, Hartford, eldest son of Thomas Cadwell, by wife Elizabeth Butler, had Edward, born 24 September 1681; William, 24 August 1684; Elizabeth, 5 December 1687; and Rachel, 3 April 1689; besides John, 1697; and died 1719.

Mary married Joseph Dickens; Abigail married 25 March 1695, John Church; Elizabeth married about 1696, Samuel Breman the second of Wethersfield; and Hannah married a Bliss of Springfield.

THOMAS CADWELL, Hartford, daughter of the preceding, married 23 September 1687, Hannah Butler; but whose daughter she was is unknown. He had Thomas, baptized 1689; Jonathan, 1694; James, 1697; Hannah, 1699; Moses, 1703; Lois, 1706; Aaron, 1710; and died 1739.

JOHN CAFFINGE, JOHN CAFFINCH, JOHN CAFFINS, or JOHN CEFFINCH, Guilford 1639, an original proprietor, as in Trumbull, I. 107. He was of New Haven 1643, a man of some importance, married perhaps, Mary Fowler, daughter of the first William Fowler, had Sarah, born 4, baptized 9 March 1651; Mary, baptized 9 July 1654; and Elizabeth, baptized 8 February 1657.

SAMUEL CAFFINGE, SAMUEL CAFFINCH, SAMUEL CAFFINS, or SAMUEL CEFFINCH, New Haven, younger brother of the preceding, administered freeman of the Colony 1649.

THOMAS CAFFINGE, THOMAS CAFFINCH, THOMAS CAFFINS, or THOMAS CEFFINCH, New Haven, brother of the two preceding, had good estate, died early in 1647, leaving John Caffinge, his brother, to be executor of his will.

CHRISTOPHER CANE, or CHRISTOPHER CAYNE, Cambridge, freeman 14 March 1639, died 9 December 1653; by wife Margery, who died 3 April 1687, aged about 70, had Jonathan, born 27 March 1640; Nathaniel, 5 August 1642; Deborah; Ruth, 6 December 1647; and Esther, who were all baptized there, and outlived the father.

JONATHAN CANE, or JONATHAN CAYNE, Cambridge, son of the preceding, married 14 May 1674, Deborah Welsh, who died 18 October 1689, aged 56, and he died 18 March 1695, or 6, the gravestone being uncertain.

ISAAC CAKEBREAD, Springfield, perhaps, son of Thomas Cakebread, had first been of Weymouth, as a soldier served in Philip's war on Connecticut river, married 1677, Hepzibah Jones, had Hepzibah; Isaac, born 1680; Rebecca, 1683, died young; and Margaret; was freeman 1678, removed to Suffield, and after to Hartford, there died 1698, leaving Isaac, who died 1712, and the name ceased in that region.

THOMAS CAKEBREAD, Watertown, freeman 14 May 1634, Artillery Company 1637, married Sarah Busby, daughter of Nicholas Busby; removed for short time to Dedham, after to Sudbury, there died 4 January 1643, His widow married Captain John Dedham, and daughter Sarah married 7 November 1649, at Sudbury Philimon Whale.

THOMAS CAKEBREAD, Salem, a Captain, had permission "by [the] General Court" says Felt (Annals of Salem, I. 194, Ed. 2), to take from the fort two small guns for security against Turkish pirates, probably in a voyage to Spain, 1644. Yet in Volume II. 231, the date is given 1641, which is wrong, as also the name, right at first, but at page 634 corrected into error, as Bond, 733, shows.

JOHN CALDWELL, Ipswich 1654, freeman 1677, married Sarah Dillingham, daughter of John Dillingham, had Sarah, born 2 April 1658; John; Ann, 23 August 1661; Dillingham, 6 May 1667; Willliam, 18 October 1669; Mary, 26 February 1672; and Elizabeth, 15 October 1675. All these children were living when he died 28 September 1692; and Sarah married an Ayres, and Mary married a Roper. His widow died 26 January 1722, aged 86.

JOHN CALDWELL, Ipswich, eldest son of the preceding, married 1686, Sarah Foster, had Jacob; John, born 19 August 1692, killed by the Indians on service in Maine, 1724; and William. Of this name, six had been graduates in 1828, at Harvard, and six at the other New England colleges.

JOSEPH CALEF, or JOSEPH CALFE, Ipswich, eldest son of Robert Calef the first, a physician, by wife Mary, had Robert, born 12 December 1693; Joseph, 20 May 1695; Samuel, 25 January 16979; Ebenezer; Peter; and Mary; all living when he died 28 December 1707, aged 36.

ROBERT CALEF, or ROBERT CALFE, Roxbury, of who we know little more than that he had four sons: Joseph, before mentioned; John; Jeremiah; and the well-deserved Robert, besides daughters Martha, who married 28 September 1700, Solomon Hewes; and Mary, who married 9 October 1712, Samuel Stevens; and that he died 13 April 1719, aged 71, as his grave stone at Roxbury tells; and his grandson Joseph, before administration of estate 3 June 1720; and his widow Mary died 12 November following. When the real estate was divided in 1726, names of uncles and aunts of the administration to which he was bound to pay proportions, are ascertained.

ROBERT CALEF, or ROBERT CALFE, Boston, merchant, son of the preceding perhaps youngest, married 23 December 1699, Margaret Buxton, daughter of James Buxton of Newton, had eight children if not more, but most of them died young, the names of James, Ann, and Margaret alone being mentioned as outliving the father, perhaps one was Daniel, who died at Roxbury, 13 August 1712. Besides there is record of birth, by a former wife Mary, of Edward, 30 January 1689, unless this may rather seem to be brother instead of child of the distinguished Robert. Of his death we find not exact date, but it was between April 1722, and 18 February following, when his will of 2 January 1720 was probated. Ever honoring will be his name for the small book, called "More Wonders of the Invisible World," printed at London, 1700, giving history of the baneful superstition of 1692; that served to prevent renewal of the horrid tradgedies that the patrons of delusion, unsatisfied with their sad experience, would surely have attempt. When President Mather ordered the modest work to be burned in the college yard he failed in true policy almost as deeply as if he had prevailed to obtain similar treatment of the body of the author as of his volume and his own power in the Institute that had long suffered as by nightmare, ceased in few weeks. Once or twice since there have been partial outcries against witchcraft, but for more than a century no influence has been exerted to renew criminal prosecution.

JOHN CALL, Charlestown 1637, of who no more is known, but that he joined the church 24 October 1639, and, perhaps, died 1678.

JOHN CALL, Charlestown, son of Thomas Call, born in England, married 21 January 1657, Hannah Kettell, daughter of Richard Kettell, who died 27 August 1708, aged 71, had John, born 20 January following perhaps, and Thomas, both baptized 6 July 1662; Jonathan, 27 September 1663; Nathaniel, 1 April 1666; Mehitable, 30 August 1668; Caleb, 2 October 1670; Hannah, 29 June 1673; and Esther, 27 February 1676; died of smallpox, 1678, all the children then living. But possibly this date of death may refer, more probably to first named John. Yet ten years later there were John senior, and John junior, at Charlestown, and easily to be looked at as father and son. So that I prefer to regard this man as the one administered of the church 29 June 1662, who was freeman 1671, Deacon, and died 9 April 1697.

JOHN CALL, Charlestown, eldest son of the preceding, married Martha Lowden, daughter of Richard Lowden, with her joined the church 6 March 1687, had John, baptized 6 November 1687; and Hannah, 6 Dc. 1691; died 4 May 1713, aged 55 years 4 months 14 days, says the scrupulous record.

JONATHAN CALL, Charlestown, the Representative of 1689, may have been son or brother of the second John Call.

NATHANIEL CALL, Charlestown, perhaps brother of the preceding, by wife Temperance Hurry, daughter of William Hurry, married 1690, had Hannah, baptized 20 October 1695.

PHILIP CALL, Ipswich, died September 1662, leaving children Philip, born 17 January 1660; and Mary.

THOMAS CALL, Charlestown, on Mistick side, a tilemaker, or husbandman, came in 1636, with wife Bennet, and three children of which one was Mary, from Faversham, in Kent, had Elizabeth, baptized 21 February 1641; and Mercy, born 7 November 1643, whose baptism can hardly be ascertained, for the church record has a great gap, and even that of his administrator calls the name John. He was freeman 13 May 1640, perhaps lived at Concord 1645, but soon went back to Charlestown to marry Joanna, widow of Daniel Shepardson, who died 30 January 1661, and he died May 1676, aged 79. One Mercy Call at Malden married 4 November 1662, Samuel Lee, and, next, 25 October 1677, John Allen; and Elizabeth married Samuel Tingley, and, next, the second Daniel Shepardson, but I knew neither husband nor wife yet venture to conjecture that he died about middle age, and that his widow married 2 December 1686, Richard Wicks, as this union is sanctioned by record of Malden, though Richard is as much unknown as Mercy.

THOMAS CALL, son of the preceding, born in England, lived at Malden, married 22 July 1657, Lydia Shepardson, daughter of his father’s wife Lydia; and Joanna, born March 1660, perhaps no other children, was freeman 1668, and died November 1678, aged about 45.

THOMAS CALL, Charlestown, son of John Call of the same, married 22 May 1683, Elizabeth Croswell, daughter perhaps of Thomas Croswell, had Jonathan, baptized 31 August 1684; another child 21 November 1686; Esther, 19 November 1693; and Jonathan, again, 11 August 1700.

ELLIS CALLENDER, Boston 1669, a cooper, was one of the founders of that First Baptist Church in C. where some time from 1708 he served as teacher, freeman 1690, had, perhaps, other children besides John, and Elisha Callender, Harvard College 1710; died 18 May 1728, aged 87. The excellent John Callender, minister of Newport, born at Boston 1706, son of John Callender, and Harvard College 1723, whose Century Sermon is so much valuable, was his grandson.

ELISHA CALLENDER, Boston, son of the preceding, ordained 21 May 1718, had Ellis, and perhaps other children, was of great merit, and died 31 March 1738.

GEORGE CALLENDER, Boston, who may have been son of Ellis Callender, by wife Sarah, had Joanna, born 23 October 1687.

OLIVER CALLOWAY, or OLIVER CALLOWE, Watertown 1642, was a mariner, removed to Boston, married 29 February 1656, widow Judith Clock.

EDMUND CALVERLY, Warwick 1661, had been in the army at home, and brought a book in MS dated Ely House, London, 1659, containing the roll of soldiers and their billeting, was chosen town clerk 1664, and in that office served till the Indians destroyed the town in March 1676, when he removed to Newport, there living 1684, but when he died, or whether he had issue, is not known,

THOMAS CAMMOCK, Portsmouth 1631 or 2, had two or three years before been in Maine, was nephew of the Earl of Warwick, got patent for lands at Black point, Scarborough, in 1636, sat as one of a Court of Commissioners at Saco, under power of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, soon after went home, but came back 1638, with John Josselyn, in the Nicholas, and resided at Scarborough. On a voyage to the West Indies he died 1643, leaving widow Margaret, who married his fellow-commissioner Henry Josselyn. No children are mentioned. Sullivan, 128, erronously marks his death 1663. This name was not rare at Boston, England.

EDWARD CAMP, often EDWARD KEMP, New Haven 1643, had Edward, born 1650; Mary, 1652; Sarah, 1655; and perhaps more, but not probable, for he died 1659.

EDWARD CAMP, often EDWARD KEMP, Milford, probably son of the preceding, married 1674, Mehitable Smith, daughter of John Smith, first of the same.

JOHN CAMP, often JOHN KEMP, Hartford, freeman 1669, married Mary Sanford, daughter of Robert Sanford, had Hannah, born 24 November 1672, John, 13 February 1675; Sarah, 17 February 1677; Joseph, 7 January 1679; Mary, 30 June 1682; James, 23 June 1686; Samuel, 29 January 1691; and Abigail, 1696; and another 31 July 1699.

NICHOLAS CAMP, often NICHOLAS KEMP, Milford 1639, married 14 July 1652, as his second wife Catharine, widow of Anthony Thompson, had Joseph, born 11 August 1653, at New Haven, who died young; but at Milford Samuel, 15 September 1655; Joseph Camp, 1658, Harvard College 1677; Mary, 1660; John and Sarah, twins baptized 1662; and Abigail, 1662. By first wife no child is mentioned, and he had third wife. Was Representative 1670, 1, and 2. Lambert says, he died 1706, and it may be so.

SAMUEL CAMP, often SAMUEL KEMP, Milford, perhaps son of the preceding, perhaps of the first Edward Camp, married 13 November 1672, Hannah Betts, daughter of Thomas Betts, who is not named in the will of her father 1688, and may have died early.

WILLIAM CAMP, often WILLIAM KEMP, New London 1683, married Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Richard Smith, and died 9 October 1713, leaving sons William, and James. Of this name, in 1829, were eight graduates at Yale, one at Dartmouth, none at Harvard.

DUNCAN CAMPBELL, Boston 1685, a bookseller from Scotland, Artillery Company 1686, by wife Susanna, had William, born 27 MaY 1687; Archibald, 10 February 1689; Matthew, 14 February 1691; Susanna, 1 February 1696; and Agnes 2 March 1699. Under commission from home he was made postmaster for our side of the world. Thomas, History of Print. II. 414, cited Dunton's Life and Errors.

JOHN CAMPBELL, Boston 1695, perhaps brother, but not probably son of the preceding (and in doubt, whether he was here before May 1692, I have hesitated to give him place on my page), by wife Mary, had Elizabeth, born 6 February 1696; and Mary, 23 July 1704; was postmaster, but much more known as proprietor of the Boston Newsletter, the earliest Gazette on west side of the ocean, printed by Bartholomew Green, first issued 17 April 1704; died 4 March 1728, aged 75. See Thomas, II. 210. Of this name though, Farmer found twenty graduates in 1829, had proceeded from New Jersey or Union, or New England colleges, he could count only three at Harvard, two at Dartmouth, none at Yale.

MORDECAI CAMPERWELL, embarked 1 April 1679, at Barbados for New England in the ketch Swallow; but whether he ever reached our shores, I have not heard.

JOHN CAMPERFIELD, or JOHN CANFIELD, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, called junior, among freeman 1655.

MATTHEW CAMPERFIELD, or MATTHEW CANFIELD, New Haven 1644, married Sarah Treat, daughter of Richard Treat of Wethersfield, had Samuel, baptized 19 October 1645; Sarah, 23 (not, 24, as in Genealogical Registrar IX. 358) May 1647; Ebenezer, born 1649; Matthew, 9 May 1650; Hannah, 21, baptized 22 June 1651; and Rachel, born 1652; removed to Norwalk, and had there Jonathan and Mary, and was Representative 1654 until the union of Connecticut and New Hampshire Colonies in the Royal Charter where this name is inserted and after that union 1665 and 6, then removed to Newark, New Jersey, and died 1673.

SAMUEL CAMPERFIELD, or SAMUEL CANFIELD, Norwalk, freeman 1669, eldest son of the preceding, married probably a daughter of Francis Willowby of Charlestown, but nothing more is known.

THOMAS CAMPERFIELD, or THOMAS CANFIELD, Milford 1646, perhaps brother of Matthew Camperfield, an early but not first settlers, Representative 1673 and 4, perhaps removed. His will, of 23 February 1687 names children Thomas, who died before his father, leaving wife Rebecca with children Thomas, and Rebecca; Jeremiah; Sarah Platt; Phebe Smith, wife of John; Elizabeth Baldwin; Abigail Staples; Mary; Hannah; and Mehitable. The will of his widow Phebe was made 28 July 1690. For wife Phebe and son Jeremiah we must trust Cothren, who however can tell only, that Jeremiah married Judith Mallory, had Jeremiah, and other children, not favored with names. In the spelling of this name authors vary, even in giving the Charter of Char. II. Trumbull's History I. 249, may be less accurate than Trumbull, Colony record II. 3. The p was dropped and m turned to n very early. Farmer found, in 1829, six graduates of this name at Yale, none at Harvard or Dartmouth.

DANIEL CANADA, Salem, married 10 November 1681, Hannah Cook, daughter of Henry Cook, had Daniel, born 10 August following David, 7 July, 1683; Hannah, 4 September 1685; Jonathan, 19 January 1688; Isaac, 21 January 1690; and Elizabeth, 21 March 1693; and he died 11 June 1695.

ZACCHEUS CANDE, ZACCHEUS CAMBEE, or ZACCHEUS KEMBEE, New Haven, a proprietor 1685, married December 1670, Rebecca Bristoll, daughter of Henry Bristoll, and had Rebecca, born 29 December 1671; Hannah, 14 November 1673; Zaccheus, 5 January 1676; Samuel, 24 July 1678; Mary, 18 February 1681; Desire, 20 October 1686; and Abigail, April 1689.

CHRISTOPHER CANE, or CHRISTOPHER CANNE, Cambridge, by wife Margaret, had Deborah, born 17 January 1645. In Genealogical Registrar VIII. 345, is given the blunder of this name from copy of Boston record, Champney.

JOHN CANN, Boston, married 30 July 1661, Esther Reed, daughter of William Reed.

JOSEPH CANNEY, Dover, son of Thomas Canney, married 25 December 1670, Mary Clements, daughter of Job Clements, had Jane, born 16 December following; Joseph, 14 October 1674; and Mary, 25 July 1678.

THOMAS CANNEY, Portsmouth 1631, sent over by Mason, the patentee, was of Dover 1644, had Thomas, born before 1645; Joseph; Mary, who married Jeremy Tibbets; and a daughter who married Henry Hobbs. In June 1661, his wife Jane (we may hope not the mother of those children) was indicted for beating him, his son-in-law Tibbets; and his wife, and he died 1677, or earlier.

THOMAS CANNEY, Dover, son of the preceding, by wife Sarah, had six children but though their names are not seen, the ages, at his death, early in 1675, were, as Mr. Quint assures us, 11, 9, 8, 6,4, and 1 years respectively. His widow married before May 1677, John Wingate, and had more.

JOHN CANNON, Plymouth, came in the Fortune 1621; but whether he removed or went home, is unknown, and his name at the division of cattle, 1627, is not found. One Cannon was of Sandwich 1650, who may have been that Robert Cannon of New London in 1678, who was chosen a town officer in 1680, and probably removed soon.

CORNELIUS CANTERBURY, Hingham 1639, was living 1672, but left descendants only through female line. Perhaps Ann, who married July 1679, Peter Barnes, was the eldest, born 14 May 1653; Mary, 29 October 1654; and Cornelius, 11 January 1657; and I hear no more.

JOHN CANTERBURY, a soldier in December 1675, of Moseley's Company, was probably son of William Canterbury.

WILLIAM CANTERBURY, Lynn 1641, was after of Salem, and died 1 June 1663, leaving widow Beatrice, and children John, Ruth, and Rebecca, all, with the children of the latter, mentioned in his will of 2 April 1661. The widow had married 29 November 1665, Francis Plummer of Newbury, and daughter Rebecca married a Woodrow. This name is often Cantelberry, or Cantlebury.

BERNARD CAPEN, Dorchester, came, perhaps after his son, for he was administered freeman not until 16 May 1636, and died 8 November 1638, aged 70, and his widow, daughter of Oliver Purchis, married on the Monday of Whitsun week, 1596, died 26 March 1653, aged 75, according to the gravestone inscription thought to be the earliest in New England. His will of 9 October preceding, his death was not probated before November 1652. abstract of it is in Genealogical Registrar V. 240. Only three children are known Ruth, born 7 August 1600; Susanna, 11 April 1602; and John, 26 January 1613. Susanna died 13 November 1666. He was from Dorchester, in Old England, as appears from nuncupative will of Henry Russell, who left him a legacy there.

BERNARD CAPEN, Dorchester, son of John Capen, married 2 June 1675, Sarah Trott, daughter of Thomas Trott, had Bernard, born 26 March 1676; John, 18 February 1678, died in few hours; Sarah, 5 January 1679; Joseph, 28 November 1681, died at 13 years; James, 8 April 1684, died in few hours; and John, again, 16 July 1685. The father died of smallpox, 3 May 1691, and his widow died 2 June 1724, aged 70.

CHARLES CAPEN, Dorchester, a soldier, December 1675, in the Company of brave Captain Johnson.

JAMES CAPEN, Charlestown, by wife Hannah Lawrence, probably daughter of John Lawrence of Charlestown, had James, baptized 16 September 1683; and Hannah, born 13 October 1686.

JOHN CAPEN, Dorchester, only son of the first Bernard Capen, came before his father as is thought, was freeman 14 May 1634, married 20 October 1637, Redigon Clap or Radigan Clap, had Joanna, born 3 October 1638, died soon; John, 21 October 1639; and his wife died 10 December 1645. Next, by wife Mary Bass, daughter of Samuel Bass of Braintree, married 20 September 1647, he had Samuel, born at Braintree 29 July 1648; Bernard, 24 March 1650; a daughter 6 July 1652; another child 17 November 1654; Preserved, 4 March 1657; Joseph Capen, 20 December 1658, baptized 2 January following, Harvard College 1677; Hannah, 1 October 1662; and Elizabeth, 29, baptized 30 December 1666, who died at 13 years. He was of Artillery Company 1646, Deacon 1656, a Captain, Representative 1671, 3-8, and died 6 April 1692. All of this name in our country, it is said, descends from him. His widow died 29 June 1704, aged 72; and her daughter Mary married 22 September 1674, James Foster.

JOHN CAPEN, Dorchester, son of the preceding, freeman 1666, married 19 November 1662, Susanna Barsham, daughter of William Barsham of Watertown, had Susanna, born 16 September 1664; John, who died 7 August 1681; Samuel, 23 October 1667; Thankful, 22 Apr 1669; Sarah 9 December 1670; Dorothy, 13 October 1672, died next month; Dorothy, again, 16 September 1673; Purchase, 14 November 1675; Nathaniel, 1 October 1677, died at 5 years; Elizabeth, 17 April 1680; Elizabeth, again, 21 March 1682; and Hannah, 21, baptized 26 October 1684.

JOSEPH CAPEN, Topsfield, brother of the preceding, ordained 11 June 1684, married Priscilla Appleton, daughter of John Appleton of Ipswich, had Priscilla, and several more children, and died 30 June 1725, the wife and several daughters survived.

PRESERVED CAPEN, Dorchester, brother of the preceding, married 16 May 1682, Mary Payson, daughter of Edward Payson, had Mary, born 28 March 1683; Preserved, 10 April 1686; Elizabeth, 1 March 1690; Ann, 12 November 1692, died soon; John, 16 October 1694; Ebenezer, 6 September 1698, died soon; Ebenezer, again, 8 January 1700; and Ann, again, 9 May 1703; and his wife died 20 Oct 1708, which is the date, also, of his own death.

SAMUEL CAPEN, Dorchester, brother of the preceding, married 9 April 1673, Susanna Payson, daughter of Edward Payson, had Samuel, born 1 February 1674, died at 4 months; Samuel, again, 4 November 1675, died at 2 months; Hopestill, 13 October 1677; Mary, 23 September 1679; Ebenezer, 30 April 1682, died at 6 months; Edward, 24 September 1683; Samuel, again, 1 March 1686; Susanna, 10 November 1688; Jabesh, 3 March 1690, died soon; Jonathan, 17 March 1691; Susanna, again, 5 September 1693; John, 19 June 1696; and Elizabeth, 28 September 1698. He was freeman 1674, and died 19 May 1733, at ripe age (though something short of that his gravestone boasts); and his widow died 3 February 1738, aged 82. Six pages of Thayer's Genealogy are given to this family of which in 1844, eight had been graduates at Harvard, and none at Yale or Dartmouth.

BENFIELD CAPRON, Rehoboth, that part which became Attleborough, about 1680 had wife Elizabeth, who died 10 March 1735, and children Benfield; Joseph; Elizabeth, born 22 October 1684; Edward; John; Jonathan, 10 March 1706; and Sarah, 11 March 1709. He is reputed the progenitor of all the name within great circut, and died 25 August 1752, at grand age. Daggett.

FRANCIS CARD, a soldier of good service in the Indians war, 1677, at the East buried. Hubbard, 271-5, does not say, whence he came, or where he resided.

RICHARD CARD, Newport, among the freeman in 1655, though some suspicion is felt, that his name is only abbreviaion for Carder.

WILLIAM CARD, Newebury, 1680, a witness in the prosecution of Elizabeth, wife of William Morse, for witchcraft, though in the large investigation bestowed by Coffin on the case in his delightful History of the town, how his evidence served to prove the charge of the folly, is not seen. He married 10 January 1693, Hannah, widow of Job Coit, and removed to Gloucester, had Mary, born 1693; William, 1696; Hannah, 1699; John, 1701; and Benjamin, 1710.

JAMES CARDER, Warwick, second son of Richard Carder of the same, married Mary Whipple, eldest daughter of the second John Whipple of Providence, had only Sarah.

JOHN CARDER, Warwick, brother, probably elder of the preceding, married 1 December 1671, Mary Holden, daughter of Randal Holden, and had John, born 6 March 1673; William; Richard; Mary; Joseph; and Sarah. At Warwick descendants are numerous. But he had former wife Martha Brenton, daughter of Governor Brenton.

JOSEPH CARDER, Warwick, youngest brother of the preceding, died 1694, leaving widow Bethia, and twin children Hannah and Mary, born 16 and 17 April 1693.

RICHARD CARDER, Roxbury, removed early to Boston, freeman 25 May 1636, yet was not member of the church of Boston. As a supporter of the pestilent heresies of Wheelwright and Hutchinson, he was disfranchised in 1637, and went to Rhode Island, was one of the eighteen original purchasers of the beautiful Island of Aquedneck, and partner in the civil compact. In 1643 he was engaged in the purchase of Warwick with Gorton and others, and for sustaining his and their right, was made prisoner with all the rest, brought to Boston, and sentenced to be incarcerated at Roxbury, in irons (when the opinion of the Reverend elders, that their offence deserved death, was overrulled), not to depart on pain of death. See Winthrop I. 248, II. 121, 48. Glad enough was the government to discharge him and his fellow-sufferors next year with sentence of banishment on pain of forfieting life for coming back. He was quiet at Warwick 1655, had John; Sarah; James, born 2 May 1655; Mary; and Joseph; perhaps was an Assistant 1665, and died at Newport in the time of Philip's war 1675 or 6, leaving widow Mary. His daughter Sarah married 5 December 1672, Benjamin Gorton; and Mary married Malachi Rhoades of Providence.

EDWARD CARLTON, Rowley, freeman 18 May 1642, Representative 1644 and 7, had Edward, the first born of the town record, and died before his father. Perhaps for second wife he had wife Hannah Jewett, eldest daughter of the first Joseph Jewett, married 15 June 1640. Perhaps by her had Prudence, widow of the first Anthony Crosby; but certainly he went home, and died in England.

JOHN CARLTON, Haverhill, son of the preceding, who died 1669, whose widow married Christopher Babbage, may have had that John Carlton who married 27 August 1688, Hannah Osgood, and Joseph Carlton, who married 2 August 1694, Abigail Osgood, both, probably daughters of John Osgood of Andover, though the dates appear to make the husbands to be grandchildren of him. But the widow of John the first married 5 October 1674, as I judge, Christopher Babbage, and had more children.

BARTHOLOMEW CARLILE, Sudbury, by wife Hannah, had James, born 1686; and Hannah, 1687.

JOHN CARMAN, Roxbury, came, 1631, probably with Eliot, in the Lion, by wife Florence, had John, born 8 July 1633; Abigail, 1635; and Caleb, 6 August 1639, who died young; removed to Long Island, and was that patentee of Hempstead whose son Caleb, born there 9 January 1646, was blind from birth, the first child there born of European parents.

THOMAS CARNES, New Haven, married Mary Brown, had Elizabeth, born 8 August 1684; Alexander, 19 December 1685; and Joseph, 4 August 1687.

BENJAMIN CARPENTER, Providence, son of William Carpenter of the same, swore allegiance May 1671. Perhaps he married Renew Weeks, daughter of William Weeks of Dorchester, but he was permanent resident at Rehoboth, had Jotham, born 1 June 1682, baptized 1 July 1683; John, baptized 21 June 1691; and Submit, 5 November 1693; all, I judge, at Dorchester, in right of their mother.

BENJAMIN CARPENTER, Northampton, son of the second William Carpenter of Rehoboth, married 1691, Hannah Strong, daughter of Jedediah Strong, had Freedom, born 13 July 1692; Amos, 6 November 1693; Benjamin, 3 October 1695; Jedediah, 1 October 1697; Hannah, 15 August 1699; Eliphat, 16 October 1701, died in few months; Eliphalet, again; Noah, 24 December 1705; Elizabeth, 15 June 1707; and Ebenezer; removed to Coventry, there died 18 April 1738. His widow died 20 March 1762, aged 91.

DANIEL CARPENTER, Rehoboth, younger brother of the preceding, married 15 April 1695, Bethia Bliss, daughter probably of Jonathan Bliss of the same, who died 27 February 1703; and he married 30 March 1704, Elizabeth Butterworth, daughter probably of John Butterworth, who died 13 June 1708; and he next married 19 March 1718, Margaret Hunt, who died in two years, and he took fourth wife Mary Hyde, but died 14 September 1721. Whether he had issue by any of these wives is unknown. An agreeable letter from him to his father written at Weymouth, probably 27 July 1690, gives account of his then engagement in the doleful expedition of Phips against Quebec in Gallop's Company of which a list is annexed including a few Indians, as may be read in Genealogical Registrar IX. 354. Valuable as is that roll, a better one is furnished in Genealogical Registrar XIII. 133, by a writer, who could not have the letter of Carpenter, or he would have avoided the erronous supposition that the force was designed for Albany.

DAVID CARPENTER, Farmington, died 22 January 1651, leaving children Elizabeth, born about 1644; David, about 1647; and Mary, August 1650, all baptized 16 May 1658, some years ffter their mother had married George Orvis, and she next married Richard Bronson.

DAVID CARPENTER, New London, only son of the preceding, married Sarah Hough, daughter of William Hough, had there baptized Mary, in July 1677; Sarah, November 1679; David, 12 November 1682; and Elizabeth, and Hannah, 1691; but sold his estate 1688, and died 1700. His widow married William Stevens.

JOHN CARPENTER, Rehoboth, son of the first William Carpenter of the same, by wife Hannah, had Amos, born 19 November 1677; Elipahlet, 17 April 1679; and perhaps by wife Dorothy, married 9 February 1680, had Priscilla, 20 January 1681; and he died 23 May 1695.

JOHN CARPENTER, Woodstock, eldest son of the second William Carpenter of Rehoboth, had wife Rebecca, and I see nothing more of him.

JOSEPH CARPENTER, Swanzey, son of William Carpenter the first of Rehoboth, born in England, married 25 November 1655, Margaret Sabin, perhaps eldest daughter of William Sabin of Rehoboth, had Joseph, born 15 August 1656; Benjamin, 19 January 1658; Abigail, 15 March 1659; Esther, 6 March 1661; Martha, 1662; John; Hannah, 21 January 1672; Solomon, 27 April 1673, died next year and Margaret, 4 May 1675. He was one of the founders of the earliest Baptist Church in Massachusetts and was buried two days after birth of the last named child. His widow died 1700, aged 65.

JOSEPH CARPENTER, Providence, son perhaps eldest of William Carpenter the first of the same, removed to Long Island, had son William, as appears in the will of grandfather conveyed by advice of his father in deed of 2 September 1674, his estate at Providence to his uncle Stephen Arnold.

JOSIAH CARPENTER, Rehoboth, son of William Carpenter the second of the same, married 24 November 1692, Elizabeth Read, and died 28 February 1727; and his widow died 18 October 1730.

NATHANIEL CARPENTER, Rehoboth, brother of the preceding, had four wives, married first, 19 September 1693, Rachel Cooper, who died 9 July following next, 17 November 1695, Mary Preston, who died 25 May 1706; next, 8 July 1707, Mary Cooper, who died 3 April 1712; and, last, 1716, Mary Bacon; but whether he had issue by either, or which of the two husbands and wife about first, is unknown.

NOAH CARPENTER, Attleborough, brother of the preceding, married 3 December 1700, Sarah Johnson, had Noah, born 25 November 1701; Marian, 25 December 1702; Sarah, 24 September 1701; Stephen, 23 July 1706; Asa, 10 March 1708; Mary, 24 January 1710; Margaret, 30 March 1712; Simon, 13 November 1713, died next month; Isaiah, 7 February 1715; Simon, again, 20 August 1716; Martha, 25 May 1719; Elisha, 28 August 1721; Amy, 2 February 1723; and his wife died 29 September 1726. He married 22 May 1727, Ruth Follet, had Priscilla, 1 May following, and this wife died 10 June 1745. Next, he married Tabitha Bishop, but died 7 June 1753.

OBADIAH CARPENTER, Rehoboth, brother of the preceding, married 6 November 1703, Deliverance Preston, and he died 25 October 1749, but his widow survived to 12 June 1767.

SAMUEL CARPENTER, Rehoboth, son of William Carpenter the first of the same, perhaps born in England, married 25 May 1660, Sarah Redoway, or Sarah Readaway, had Samuel, born 15 September 1661; Sarah, 11 January 1664; Abiah, 10 February 1666; James, 12 April 1668; Jacob, 5 September 1670; Jonathan, 11 December 1672; David, 17 April 1675; Solomon, 23 December 1677; Zechariah, 1 July 1680; and Abraham, 20 September 1682; and the father was buried 20 February following.

SILAS CARPENTER, Providence, probably son of William Carpenter the first of the same, swore allegiance 1671.

THOMAS CARPENTER, a carpenter, from Amesbury in Wiltshire, came to Boston, 3 June 1635, in the James from Southampton, but nothing more of him is seen.

TIMOTHY CARPENTER, Providence, brother of Silas Carpenter, swore allegiance at the same time.

WILLIAM CARPENTER, Weymouth, came in the Bevis 1638, from Southampton, aged 62, a carpenter from Horwell, says the clearance at custom house with William, 33, probably his son, and Abigail, wife of the latter, 32, and four grandchildren "of ten years old or less," not named in that document, was freeman 13 May 1640, Representative 1641, and 3, and died in the winter of 1659, 60. His will, of 10 December, probated 7 February following, names son John and his son, but of this brother nothing is seen after; William, and his sons John; Joseph, and his son Joseph; Abigail; Samuel; Hannah; and Abigail; and gives to son of John Titus, who had married testator's daughter. But I fear some incongruence of time will hardly be reconciled.

WILLIAM CARPENTER, Rehoboth 1645, son of the preceding whom he accompied, brought wife Abigail, who died 22 February 1688, and four children of who we know three to be William, Joseph, and Samuel; had born in this land Hannah, 3 April 1640; Abraham, or Abiah, 9 April 1643; and John. After death of his father I suppose he went back to Weymouth, where he had first resided.

WILLIAM CARPENTER, Providence 1636, son of Richard Carpenter of Amesbury, in County Wilts, where the estate to him descends from his father, was by him, in a deed 4 December 1671, given to his sister Vincent of that borough, described as "a house in Frog lane in Amesbury, which did belong to her father Richard Carpenter" the grantor called himself son and heir of Richard Carpenter. Perhaps he was brother of that Thomas Carpenter before mentioned. He married Elizabeth Arnold, probably daughter, but perhaps sister of the first Benedict Arnold the Governor, had Joseph, Silas, Benjamin, William, Timothy, and Lydia; was an Assistant 1665, swore allegiance 1666, and died 7 September 1685. In his will of 1674 all the children are mentioned as living, and William, son of Joseph. Lydia married Benjamin Smith.

WILLIAM CARPENTER, Rehoboth, son of the first William Carpenter of the same, born in England. Came in the Bevis 1638, with father and grandfather, married 5 October 1651 Priscilla Bonett, as tradition spells the name, had John, born 19 October 1652; William, 20 June 1659; Priscilla, 24 July 1661, who married Richard Sweet; and Benjamin, 20 October 1663, when the wife died.

Farmer counted the graduates in 1834 at fourteen, more at Brown than either of the other New England colleges, two each at Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth.

CALEB CARR, Newport, may be that passenger in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, from London, aged 11, among the freeman 1655, chosen Treasurer of the Colony 1661, an Assistant 1678, and Governor in May 1695, died December following, by wife Mercy, had Nicholas, Caleb, John, Edward, Samuel, and Mercy; and by wife Sarah, had Francis, James, Elizabeth, and Sarah, as by his will of 8 March 1690 is seen. His wife was then living but Samuel was dead, leaving son Job; and Mercy was wife of Thomas Paine.

NICHOLAS CARR, Conanicut, now Jamestown, eldest son of Governor Caleb Carr, married Rebecca Nicholson, daughter of Joseph Nicholson of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and by his will of 9 January 1710 gives us acquaintances with son Nicholas, and two minor sons Thomas and Benjamin, daughters Margaret Battey, Jane, Mary, Rebecca, and Ann, probably named in order of birth, and brother-in-law Thomas Paine, and brother Edward.

RICHARD CARR, Hampton 1640, brother of George Carr, came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 29, may have resided in other towns, last at Ipswich 1678, died 17 May 1689, and his widow Elizabeth, died 6 May 1691.

RICHARD CARR, perhaps son of the preceding, may have resided at Hampton, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 9 June 1691; and by wife Dorothy (as is said), Richard, 3 January 1694. His wife died 3 August following, and he perhaps married third wife 23 February 1702, Sarah Healey.

EZEKIEL CARRE, Kingstown, Rhode Island, one of the Huguenot refugees, who came about 1686, to the number of forty-five families in that place alone. No account of his family is seen. See Arnold's History of Rhode Island, I. 497.

RICHARD CARRIER, Andover, son of Thomas Carrier, and of that victim of horrible delusion, his unhappy wife, and, with his sister of 7 years old, witnessed 1692, against the mother that bore them, as he also was against Reverend George Burrows, who was convicted and hanged at the same time with her for the same imaginary crime, married 18 July 1694, Elizabeth Sessions.

THOMAS CARRIER, Billerica, came, perhaps, from Wales, married 7 May 1664, Martha Allen, when his name in records of Billerica is written Morgan, alias Carrier, had several children of who Thomas, the preceding, and Sarah, born about 1685, were witnesses in the unnatural proceedings that ended in the execution of their mother 19 August 1692. He had removed to Andover shortly before, and in few years after went to Colchester, there live more than 20 years, and died 16 May 1735, said in New England Weekly Journal, soon after, to be 109 years old; and exaggeration in this case may not be more than ten or fifteen years. The contemporary tells, that he was not gray, nor bald, walked erect, and short. Before his death went six months on loot, left 5 children, 39 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren, but it was not much less than forty-three years from the judicial murder of his wife.

THOMAS CARRINGTON, took oath of allegiance in June 1632 to enable him to embark from England for New England, but whether he ever reached our shore, or at what place he sat down, is unknown. Of this name, in 1822, four had been graduates at Yale.

Mary married 2 September 1664, Nathaniel Rand. In his will of 1652 he names grandson John Green; but who that John was, may not be easy of decision.

SAMUEL CARTER, Charlestown, son of the preceding, married Bethia Cowdry, daughter of William Cowdry, who died 17 November 1663, and he married 18 September 1667, Abigail Damon, daughter perhaps of John Damon of Reading, had Samuel, born 8 August 1668; and died of smallpox, 4 July 1678.

SAMUEL CARTER,Woburn, eldest son of Reverend Thomas Carter, married 1672, Eunice Brooks, daughter of John Brooks, had Mary, born 24 July 1673; Samuel, 27 August 1675, died soon; Samuel, again, 7 January 1678; John, 14 March 1680; Thomas, 3 April 1682; Nathaniel, 7 April 1685; Eunice, 29 March 1687; Abigail, May 1689; and Abigail, again, 30 May 1690; lived most of his days, perhaps, at Charlestown, and died 1693. But he had former wife Winifred. His widow married John Kendall.

SAMUEL CARTER, Deerfield, son of Joshua Carter the first, had at Deerfield eight children, and in the assault by French and Indians 29 February 1704, his wife and three children were killed, three were carried to Canada, there to continue, and with one or two he went to Norwalk, where in safety the family was perpetuated. A very wild fiction of Samuel being enticed from London by a captive at twelve years of age, and brought to Boston, was administered into so respectable a work, as the History of Norwalk by Hall, page 234.

THOMAS CARTER, Charlestown 1636, son perhaps of a widow of Thomas Carter, that was called old in 1656 (and she probably brought also, Joseph, and Samuel, who seem too old to be children of this Thomas, and may well be thought his brothers) was freeman 9 March 1637, by wife Ann, who died 6 May 1679, in her 72nd year, had Ann, born 10, baptized 22 March 1640; Elizabeth, born 22 April 1642, died young; Thomas, 6 July 1644; perhaps others; may have taken 24 October 1679, another wife Elizabeth Johnson, who died 6 October 1684, and he died 30 December 1694, in 88th year. Ann married 25 January 1659, John Foule.

THOMAS CARTER, Woburn, the first minister there, was bred at St. John's college Cambridge, had his degrees 1629, and 1633, though the exemplary careless Mather puts him, with Sherman, into his second class, as if they were younger, instead of elder, than Dunster or Harvard, came 1635, aged 25, in the Planter, as a servant under George Giddings, to elude detection no doubt, by the officers under orders of the Privy council to prevent such embarkment. Lived some years at Watertown, and exerted his faculties first at Dedham, and was ordained at Woburn 22 November 1642, and there died 5 September (or by another record 1 December) 1684, aged 74. His wife Mary Dalton, who may have been daughter of Philemon Dalton, as I infer from the will of his brother Timothy Dalton's wife Ruth (having no children) in which she remembered Mary Carter with the children of Philemon Dalton, died 6 March 1665. By her probably his children were Samuel, born 8 August 1640, Harvard College 1660; Judith; Theophilus, 12 June 1645, died young; Mary, 24 July 1648; Abigail, 10 August 1649; Deborah, 17 September 1651, died at 16 years; Timothy, 12 June 1653; and Thomas, 8 June 1655. Judith married 14 October 1660, Samuel Convers, and next, 2 May 1672, Giles Fifield, and died 1676; Mary married about 1671, John Wyman of Woburn, bore him two children and next married 31 October 1676, Nathaniel Bachiler of Hampton, had eight more children and died 1688; and Abigail, married 7 May 1674, John Smith. See Johnson's Wondr. wife Prov. 177, 181; Worthington's Dedham, 104; Lamson's History of first Church in Dedham; Chickering's Ded. sermon; and 3 Massachusetts History Collections VIII. 247.

THOMAS CARTER, Sudbury, an original settler, perhaps was of Ipswich first, freeman 2 May 1638, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 6 October 1641; Thomas, 1643; Martha, February 1645, died young; Martha, again, March 1647; Elizabeth, 2 October 1649; John, 18 May 1650; Abigail, January 1653; and Samuel, 2 October 1656; and died 14 August 1669.

THOMAS CARTER, Charlestown 1646, called junior in the church records of administration as member, and Colony record as freeman 1647, but in my opinion was not son of the first Thomas Carter.

THOMAS CARTER, Charlestown, not son of the Reverend Thomas Carter of the adjacent town, but son of Thomas Carter of Charlestown, the first named by wife Esther (recorded into the church 12 March 1676, "by letter of dismissal from the church in London, of which Mr. Thomas Vincent is pastor"), had Samuel, born 11, baptized 16 September 1677; John, born 8 January 1679, perhaps died young; Ann, 8, baptized 15 May 1681; all died young, as gravestones tell; Ann, again, baptized 5 November 1682; Vincent, 1 March 1685; Ebenezer, 31 July 1687; and probably John, again. His wife died 11 December 1709, aged 62.

THOMAS CARTER, Woburn, probably youngest son of Reverend Thomas Carter, married 1682, Margaret Whitmore, daughter of Francis Whitmore of Cambridge, who died 5 October 1734, had Mary, born 5 October 1683; Thomas, 13 June 1686; Eleazer, 20 April 1689; Daniel, 10 August 1691; Ebenezer, 24 September 1695; and Ezra, 22 June 1701.

TIMOTHY CARTER, Woburn, probably brother of the preceding, certainly son of the Reverend Thomas Carter, married 3 May 1680, Ann Fiske, daughter of David Fiske of Cambridge, who died 27 January 1713, had David, born 17 October 1681; Timothy, 12 July 1683, died soon; Ann, 17 July 1684; Timothy, again, 19 October 1686; Theophilus, 20 October 1688; Thomas, 17 August 1690; Abigail, 18 March 1692; Sarah, 24 November 1694; Elizabeth, 27 August 1696; Benjamin, 22 March 1699, died soon; Mary, 23 June 1700; Martha, 22 July 1702; and Benjamin, again, 8 November 1704; and died 8 July 1727.

WILLIAM CARTER, Marblehead 1668. Of this name I find the graduates in 1853 had been 9 at Harvard, 8 at Dartmouth, and 5 at Yale.

JOHN CARTHEW, Boston, a soldier of Turner's Company February 1676, then discharged, was freeman 1690, licensed to sell liquors 1702.

MICHAEL CARTHRICK, or MICHAEL CARTRACK, Ipswich 1635, a carpenter, freeman 2 June 1641, when it is written Katherick in Colony records came, perhaps, in the Elizabeth and Ann, 1635; at least we know that Sarah, aged 24, and Mildred, 2, then embarked at London for New England and if the younger were his daughter, probably the elder was his wife Mildred, became wife of Thomas Brigden, before death of her father who left wife and only son John.

EDWARD CARTWRIGHT, Boston 1662, mariner, married 1664, Elizabeth Morris, probably sister of Edward Morris of Roxbury, as he and John White of Muddy river were made by Cartwright feoffees in trade for his wife Elizabeth, and she died at Roxbury 1673.

EDWARD CARTWRIGHT, Nantucket, by wife Elizabeth Trott, sister of John Trott, whose father is unknown, had Samson, born 26 January 1678; Susanna, 16 February 1681; Edward, 5 May 1683; and Mary, 29 June 1687; and died 2 September 1705. His widow died 11 October 1729. She was his second wife but who was the first is not told; yet the opinion at Nantucket is that she bore Nicholas.

NICHOLAS CARTWRIGHT, Nantucket, died 10 September 1706, of which no more is known except that he had by wife Orange Rogers, daughter of William Rogers of the same, Sarah, born 13 October 1695; Elinor, 14 October 1697; Hope, 27 August 1699; Lydia, 15 December 1701; and Nicholas, 4 January 1706.

JOHN CARVER, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 1620, had been Deacon at Leyden, where probably he lived ten or a dozen years, and much engaged in the negotiation at London, to where he went 1617, and again 1620, to complete the arrangement for transmigration, was chosen Governor in Cape Cod Harbor before, and, died in April following. His widow Catharine died early in the first summer. That he ever had children is not known but certainly he left none. Yet for many years the error was universally spread, that John Howland, who accompied him, married his daughter Elizabeth. The original History of Governor Bradford, recently printed, has correction that, and we now know that the father of Howland's wife was John Tilley. A wild tradition that a grandson of Governor Carver was at work in a field at Marshfield, 1755, with son, grandson and great grandson while an infant of the 5th generation was in the house overturned by modern inquiry, had probably gained currency, and escaped unquestioned, because it was wonderful. Belknap got it from Hutchinson II. 456, who is commonly more worthy of trust. In his volumous MS annals, Pemberton, sub an. 1760, mentioned daughter of William Carver aged 102, "nephew of the Governor" on 2 October of that year, and the Boston Gazette of 20 of that month says, "he was brother's son to the ancient Governor" but that both are wrong is very probable, if not even certainly. Mitchell, in History of Bridgewater, 362, writes, that William was grandson of Robert, but the relation of Robert with the Governor is not clear, and indeed quite improble. See the Memoir in Genealogical Registrar IV. 105, by one equally assidious in research, and exact in judgement. Seldom is a heavier load laid upon credully and similarly of name is too often record for proof. In England, it is found that the family name is common. William Penn, on his first visit to his new Province 1682, brought John Carver, with his wife Mary, who had Mary soon after landing.

JOHN CARVER, Duxbury, son of Robert Carver, had grant of Iand says Winsor 1640, married 4 November 1638, Mellicent Ford, a daughter of William Ford, had William, born 1659, who probably was the subject of that marvellous story; John; Elizabeth, 1663; Robert; Eleazer; David; Mercy, 1672; Ann; and Mehitable, who died 19 April 1679. He was administered freeman 1660, and died 23 June 1679, aged 41. His widow married 9 April 1681, Thomas Drake.

RICHARD CARVER, Watertown 1638, of Scratby, about six miles from Yarmouth, County Norfolk, there embarked in 1637, on the Rose, or the John and Dorothy, the two sailed in Company, he then aged 60, with wife Grace, 40, twin daughters Elizabeth and Susanna, 18, and three servants: Isaac Hart, 22; Thomas Flegg, 21; and Marable Underwood, 20. He died early, his will of 9 September 1641, being probated 30 October 1643, and nothing is known of his family except that wife and daughters are provided for, as is seen in the abstract of Genealogical Registrar II. 262.

ROBERT CARVER, Marshfield, had grant of 1638, yet, though he several times requested the privilege, he was not administered freeman before 1644, had John, before mentioned, and William, perhaps took small estate in Boston 1668, and died April 1680, aged 85.

WILLIAM CARVER, Marshfield, son of the preceding, married 18 January 1682, Elizabeth Foster, eldest daughter of Deacon John Foster of the same.

CALEB CARWITHEN, CALEB CORWITHEN, CALEB CURWITHIN, CALEB KERWITHY, or CALEB CARWITHIE, Huntington, Long Island, was recorded as freeman of Connecticut 1664.

DAVID CARWITHEN, DAVID CORWITHEN, DAVID CURWITHIN, DAVID KERWITHY, or DAVID CARWITHIE, Salem 1649, or rather 1644, if Mr. Felt's reference in Annals 1. 168 and 175 means one person, whose wife Grace united with the church 1643. Perhaps he is the same, who married at Boston, 22 September 1660, widow Frances Oldham, but with her former husband it is difficult to make any acquaintance.

DICKORY CARWITHEN, DICKORY CORWITHEN, DICKORY CURWITHIN, DICKORY KERWITHY, or DICKORY CARWITHIE, Boston, shipmaster, died 6 September 1653, perhaps only transient, and may be the same as two years before. Was here in big ship mentioned by Roger Williams in letters, 3 Massachusetts History Collections IX. 252 and 3, and by Davenport in the very month preceding the coming in last voyage, Ib. 295.

JOSHUA CARWITHEN, JOSHUA CORWITHEN, JOSHUA CURWITHIN, JOSHUA KERWITHY, or JOSHUA CARWITHIE, Boston, mariner, married 6 August 1657, Elizabeth Farnum, daughter of John Farnum, had Elizabeth, born 6 June 1659. His widow married 1663, Edmund Mumford.

PHILIP CARWITHEN, PHILIP CORWITHEN, PHILIP CURWITHIN, PHILIP KERWITHY, or PHILIP CARWITHIE, New London 1650, sold, in 1651, his new-built house and removed.

DAVID CARY, Bristol, son probably of John Cary the first, had wife and died there 1689.

FRANCIS CARY, Roxbury, died 3 September 1672, aged 71, says gravestone, in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 52, but I entertain strong suspicion of error.

JAMES CARY, Charlestown 1639, came, as tradition says, from Bristol, by wife Elinor, had John, born 29 July 1642; James, 7 March 1644, died soon; Nathaniel, 7 March 1645; Jonathan, 15 January 1647; Elizabeth, 23 September 1648; he never was freeman, but died 2 November 1681, aged 81, as gravestone tells.

JOHN CARY, Bridgewater, said to have come from neighborhood of Bristol, England, at the age of 25, and set down first, 1637, at Duxbury, then having grant of land, married June 1644, Elizabeth Godfrey, daughter of Francis Godfrey, had John, born 1645; Francis, 1647; Elizabeth, 1649; and, at Braintree, James, 1652; at Bridgewater, Mary, 1664; Jonathan, 1656; David, 1658; Hannah, 1661; Joseph, 1663; Rebecca, 1666; Sarah, 1667; and Mehitable, 1670. He was the first town clerk and early his name was written Carew; but as the English pronounced that name Cary, spelled soon following sound. Of his death 2 November 1681 is the date in report, against which suspicion of course arises that for this, the identity of James and John has been confounded. Elizabeth married William Brett the second, and Rebecca married 1686, Samuel Allen the third.

JOHN CARY, Bridgewater, son of the preceding, married 1670, Abigail Allen, daughter of Samuel Allen the second, had John, born 1671, died soon; Seth, 1672; John, again, 1674; Nathaniel, 1676; Eleazer, 1678; James,1680; and removed to Bristol, there with wife and seven children, was living in 1689, and his wife was probably Hannah.

JONATHAN CARY, Charlestown, son of James Cary, freeman 1682, by wife Hannah Winsor, had two children baptized 14 May 1682, whose names are not given on the church records but by town records as Mr. Wyman assures me, were James, born 7 December 1679; and Abigail, 13 January 1682. An earlier child Eleanor, born 10 December 1677, died in few days. Also he had baptized Samuel, 1 April 1683; Ebenezer, 17 August 1684; and Freelove, 26 February 1688; was Deacon 1710, and his wife died 14 December 1715, aged about 59. He died 1737, and of his descendants were Reverend Thomas Cary, Harvard College 1761; and Reverend Samuel Cary, Harvard College 1804.

NATHANIEL CARY, Charlestown, brother of Jonathan Cary, whose wife after barbarous treatment in the infernal delusion of 1692, was by him secretly conveyed to New York there opening protection by Governor Fletcher. See Hutchinson II. 47 and 8, but the great historian of Massachusetts mistook the name of the brother who had this affliction, as in the charming Lectures on Witchcraft from page 71 to 78, is shown by Upham. After the demons were some years gone from Charlestown, he returned and with his wife Elizabeth, was again recorded into the church as they had both been before, when their children Elizabeth and Martha were baptized 11 July 1680; Nathaniel, 12 September following; John, 28 January 1683; and Mary, 14 January 1690.

NICHOLAS CARY, Salem 1637, may have been of Pemaquid 1674. Of this name, in 1838, eight had been graduates at Harvard and two at Yale.

BARTHOLOMEW CASE, Simsbury, son of John Case, married 7 December 1699, Mary Humphrey, daughter of Samuel Humphrey, had Mary, born 1701, died soon; Thomas, 28 June 1702; Mary, again, 8 November 1704; Elizabeth; Amos, 1712; Sarah, 1715; Isaac, 23 October 1717; Abraham, 20 August 1720; and Abigail, 1721; and died 25 October 1725.

EBENEZER CASE, Roxbury, married 13 March 1690, Patience Draper, daughter of James Draper, had Mary, born 20 July 1691; Jonathan, 1 September 1693; and perhaps he removed.

EDWARD CASE, Watertown, removed soon to Taunton, for which he was Representative 1640, and three years more, but again removed whither is unknown.

JOHN CASE, New London 1656, next year removed to Windsor, and married Sarah Spencer, daughter of William Spencer, had Elizabeth, born about 1658; Mary, 22 June 1660; John, 5 November 1662; William, 5 June 1665; Samuel, 1 June 1667; Richard, 27 August 1669; Bartholomew, October 1670; Joseph, 6 April 1674; Sarah, 14 August 1676; and Abigail, 4 May 1682; but the last five were born after he removed to Simsbury, of which he was constable 1669, and was Representative 1670, and several years after. His wife died 3 November 1691, aged 55; and he married Elizabeth Moore, widow of Nathaniel Loomis, daughter of John Moore, and died 21 February 1704. His widow died 23 July 1728, aged 90. All his children were living in 1700, it is said. Elizabeth married 1674, Joseph Lewis, and, next, 1681, John Tuller, both of Simsbury, and died 9 October 1718; Mary married 1679, William Alderman, and, next, 30 March 1699, James Hilyer, both of Simsbury, and died a widow 22 August 1725; Sarah married 6 November 1699, Joseph Phelps, junior, as his second wife, and died 2 May 1704; and Abigail married 1 September 1701, Joseph Westover, junior and outlived him.

JOHN CASE, Simsbury, eldest son of the preceding, married 12 September 1684, Mary Olcott, daughter of Thomas Olcott the second, had John, born 6 August following, died soon, as did the mother, and he married 1693, Sarah Holcomb, daughter of Joshua Holcomb, had John, born 22 August 1694; Daniel, 7 March 1696; Mary, 1698; Jonathan, 15 April 1701; Sarah, about 1703; Hannah, about 1709; and he died 22 May 1733.

JOSEPH CASE, Narranganset in that part now Kingstown, had Joseph, born 1678; William, 1684; Mary; Hannah; Margaret; John, 1692; and Emanuel, 1699.

JOSEPH CASE, Simsbury, youngest son of the first John Case of the same, married 6 April 1699, Ann Eno, daughter of James Eno the second of Windsor, had Joseph, born 2 February following; Jacob, 19 March 1702; Aaron, 1705, died soon; Benajah, about 1710; Josiah, 1 February 1716; Hezekiah, 26 April 1719; David, about 1722; and Joel, 30 May 1724; and died 11 August 1748. His widow died 10 June 1760.

RICHARD CASE, Hartford 1660, perhaps brother of the first John Case, married Elizabeth Purchase, daughter of John Purchase, was propounded for freeman October 1671, died 30 March 1694, leaving Richard, John, and Mary.

RICHARD CASE, Simsbury, son of the first John Case of the same, married 1 September 1701, Amy Reed, daughter of Philip Reed of Concord, had Amy, born about 1702, died soon; Amy, again, about 1703; Richard, 1710 ; Timothy, about 1711; Margaret, about 1713; Edward, 5 March 1715; Lydia, 15 March 1718; Mary, 30 January 1722; and he died about 1746.

SAMUEL CASE, Simsbury, brother of the preceding, married Mary Westover, daughter of Josiah Westover of Simsbury, who died 27 September 1713; and he married 8 November 1721, Elizabeth Owen, daughter of Josiah Owen, widow of Samuel Thrall, and died 30 July 1725. His children by the first wife were Samuel, born 24 January 1696; Mary, 15 November 1697; Hannah, 30 January 1699; Mercy, 12 January 1701; Abigail, 4 February 1705, died soon; Nathaniel, 26 April 1703; Eunice, July 1704; Josiah, August 1705; Caleb, about 1707; Azrikam, 16 February 1710; Benjamin, 1711; and perhaps Pelatiah, who died 1733; and by the second wife, Irene, 12 January 1725.

THOMAS CASE, Fairfield, removed to the Dutch about 1664, and is by Mather (who is always liberal in obloquy against adherence of George Fox), called a villain, Magnalia VII. 25. We hear not any reason for such epithy except his Quaker habitual influence among the following named by the great ecclesiastical historian "Case's crew," at Southold, Long Island, where, he sorrowfully adds, "to this day (1699), the sect is known". He was several times imprisoned for his cause, and by such treatment not probably induced to reject the inward light; and died 1692, perhaps unmarried certainly without issue.

WILLIAM CASE, Simsbury, brother of Bartholomew Case, married 1688, Elizabeth Holcomb, daughter of Joshua Holcomb, had Elizabeth, born September 1689; William, 22 March 1691; James, 12 March 1693; Rachel, 10 December 1694; Mary, 23 August 1696; Joshua, 1 June 1698; Mindwell, 21 March 1700; and he died ten days after. His widow married 10 March 1704, John Slater; next married Thomas Marshall; and died 26 February 1762. This name was very coming in that region, and I count graduates in 1855, at Yale ten, but none in Harvard or Dartmouth colleges.

EDWARD CASELEY, or EDWARD CASLEY, Scituate 1638, removed to Barnstable 1639, says Deane.

JOHN CASELEY, or JOHN CASLEY, Barnstable 1640-9, may have been brother of the preceding.

WILLIAM CASELEY, or WILLIAM CASLEY, perhaps a brother of the preceding, or even the father, had been freeman of Massachusetts 2 November 1637, though his place of residence is not found, but soon after he removed to Sandwich, and this makes it probable that he was first of Lynn; at Scituate he married in November 1639, a sister of the wife of Reverend Marmaduke Matthews of Yarmouth, may have settled at Barnstable, where long the name prevailed and spread thence in the last century, to Gorham, Maine.

JOHN CASEY, Boston, servant to Thomas Gardner of Roxbury, or rather of Muddy River in Boston, was a soldier of Oliver's Company, wounded in the great battle of Philip's war.

WILLIAM CASH, Salem, mariner, married October 1667, Elizabeth Lambert, daughter perhaps of Richard Lambert, had William, born 23 February 1669; John, 10 July 1671, died in few days; John, again and Elizabeth, twins 10 July 1672, of who John died at 2 years; Mary and Ann, twins 29 April 1675; Esther, 9 March 1679; Elizabeth, who was baptized adult, December 1693, and married 7 March 1697, William Tapley; and Mary, who married 28 May 1697, John Meacham.

WILLIAM CASH, Salem, son of the preceding, had William, born 13 February 1694; Elizabeth, 19 July 1696; John, 7 September 1699; Sarah, 5 August 1702; and Ruth, 23 March 1706.

ROGER CASMAN, Newbury, came in the Confidence 1638, aged 15, servant to John Saunders.

RICHARD CASMORE, or RICHARD CHASMORE, Patuxet 1643, taken by the marshal of Massachusetts on a precept in 1657, raising trouble between the Colonies Of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. See Genealogical Registrar VIII. 362.

JOHN CASS, Hampton 1644, married Martha Philbrick, daughter of Thomas Philbrick, had John; Samuel, born 13 July 1659; Joseph; Martha; Jonathan; Ebenezer; Abigail; Mercy; and Mary; of who Martha married John Redman; and he died suddenly 7 April 1675. His will was of May 1674. A descendant was Major Jonathan Cass, who died 14 August 1830, father of the Honorable Lewis Cass, distinguished in our modern political history.

JOHN CASS, Hampton, son of the first John Cass, married 10 December 1676, Mary Hobbs, probably daughter of Maurice Hobbs, had John, born 21 August 1680; and Mary, 26 February 1687, perhaps others. His wife died 23 July 1692; and for second wife he took Elizabeth, widow of James Chase, who had former name Green, perhaps daughter of Henry Green.

JOSEPH CASS, Hampton, brother of the preceding, had Joseph, who died 22 January 1687; and Mary, born 26 February following.

SAMUEL CASS, Hampton 1678, brother of the preceding, married 7 December 1681, Mary Sanborn. Sometimes this name is distorted to Cash.

ROBERT CASSELL, or ROBERT CASSILEY, Hampton 1639, had probably been of Ipswich 1637, and young. See Belknap I. 22.

WILLIAM CASTINE, or WILLIAM CAUSTINE, Boston, had wife Isabel, who died 25 January 1654, but by wife Mary, had Lydia, born 22 January 1655. It may be Costinge.

HENRY CASTLE, Woodbury 1682, then residing with Henry, junior, perhaps his son, and died 2 February 1698, being the first death on record there, but to find who as his father would be more agreeable to us.

JOHN CASWELL, JOHN CASEWELL, or JOHN CASSELL, Taunton, probably son of Thomas Caswell, married 26 November 1689, Elizabeth Hall.

STEPHEN CASWELL, STEPHEN CASEWELL, or STEPHEN CASSELL, Taunton, eldest son of Thomas Caswell, married 29 December 1672, Hannah Thrasher, daughter perhaps of Christopher Thrasher, had Stephen, born 11 December following; Joseph, 18 May 1678; and perhaps others.

THOMAS CASWELL, THOMAS CASEWELL, or THOMAS CASSELL, Taunton, had Stephen, born 15 February 1649; Thomas, 22 February 1651; Peter, 31 October 1652; Mary, 31 August 1654, who married 15 August 1676, Israel Thrasher; John, 31 July 1656; Sarah, 30 November 1658, who married 3 July 1677, William Hoskins; William, 15 September 1660; Samuel, 26 January 1663; Elizabeth, 10 January 1665, married 1 June 1685, Uriah Leonard; Abigail, 27 October 1666; and Esther, 4 June 1669.

JAMES CATE, Portsmouth 1665, died about 1677, may have been father or brother of the preceding.

JOHN CATE, and WILLIAM CATE, of New Hampshire 1689, favored jurisdiction of Massachusetts.

JOHN CATES, Windham, perhaps before 1686, but the time or cause of his coming to our country, is equally unknown. There was a report that he came from Virginia and possibly he was that passenger from London in the ship Safety 1635. Much idle conjecture has been expended on the reason of his withdrawal from society, and lived some time in a cave; and among the most absurd is, that he was a regicide. Perhaps he was only a misanthropolist, humorist, perhaps had been a buccanier, and thought seclusion his safest course. See Hinman. He built, 1689, the first house in the town, left children in England as his will, 5 May 1696, shows. In it he gave land for a school, more for the poor of Windham, and money, not (as popular report was) plate to the church, and died 16 July, though his inventory appears 11th 1697. See Trumbull's History 408. The name of this stranger is often Kates.

JOHN CATLIN, or JOHN CATLING, Deerfield, came from Newark, New Jersey, before 1684, with his mother Isabel, but they had some years before gone thither from Connecticut of course. The baptized name of her first husband is unknown, for second she married James Northam of Wethersfield, who died 1662, and she removed, and had third husband Joseph Baldwin of Hadley. Catlin, the name of whose wife is not known had John, born 1663, Joseph, Jonathan, and four or five daughters of who Elizabeth married James Corse. She with her brother Joseph (who left son John), and Jonathan, and the father were all killed by the Indians and French in the assault, 29 February 1704. Yet the name is kept up in the vicinity.

From him descends the modest and diligent History of Norwich and New London.

And was selectman and Representative half the years of his residence there, and town clerk. For all, removed 1662 to Norwich, and was the first Deacon on organizing the church, Representative also for this town 1663 and 4, and died 1690, aged 90.

WILLIAM CHADBOURNE, Kittery 1631, may have been son of Humphrey Chadbourne or of the preceding, for nothing is known but that he was call junior, and removed to Boston, where by wife Mary, he had Mary, born December 1644. Well has the name been perpetuated, and some descendants of Humphrey, or William, but which I know not, have part of the Newichwanuck estate to our day.

In his will of 30 June 1681, the wife Elizabeth is mentioned, who married Thomas Fox, and died 22 February 1685. He had John, Thomas, and probably more children, some brought from England. They probably all died before him, and he gave his property to kinsmen.

He was freeman 1656, removed early to Malden, and died soon after 1680, when he was a witness, aged 79.

ROBERT CHALKLEY, or ROBERT CHAULKLEY in Colony record, Charlestown 1646, freeman 1647, died 2 September 1672. His will of 27 August preceding gives all his estate to wife Elizabeth, who died at Charlestown 13 October 1678.

EDWARD CHALKWELL, Windsor, made his will 17 October 1648, and died in few weeks, as in Trumbull, Colony record I. 492, where we infer, that he had no wife nor children, nor much estate.

HENRY CHAMBERLAIN, often HENRY CHAMBERLIN, Hingham, shoemaker; came in the Diligent 1638, with wife, two children, and his mother from Hingham in County Norfolk. Was freeman 13 March 1639, and no more with confidence is known of him, not even the date of his death, nor names of his children though strong presumption is that they were Henry and William.

HENRY CHAMBERLAIN, often HENRY CHAMBERLIN, the freeman of 1645, was, I think, of Hingham, and son of the preceding, but no more is heard of him, except that he had son Nathaniel, and possibly Henry.

HENRY CHAMBERLAIN, often HENRY CHAMBERLIN, Hull, or Hingham, son perhaps of the preceding, was probably one of Moseley's Company in December 1675, by wife Jane, had Elizabeth, born 20 December 1683; Henry, 11 March 1686; John, 29 January 1689; Ursula, 11 January 1691; and Joseph, 10 April 1694.

JACOB CHAMBERLAIN, often JACOB CHAMBERLIN, Roxbury, son perhaps of the preceding, more probable of either the first Edmund Chamberlain, or second William Chamberlain, married 24 January 1685, Mary Child, daughter of the first Benjamin Child, as I conjecture, had Jacob, born 7 March 1686; John and another son, twins, whose name is not seen, 1 August 1687, was administered freeman 1630, and next year lived at Newton; but died 7 November 1721, at Brookline.

JOHN CHAMBERLAIN, often JOHN CHAMBERLIN, Charlestown, a soldier at Hadley 1676, by wife Deborah Templar, had John, baptized 14 May 1682 who died 24 July 1684, aged 5; another child whose name is not found, baptized at the same time; Mary, 14 October 1683; Deborah, 3 July 1687; and Sarah, 19 January 1690; and he died 22 December following aged 36. Mr. Wyman ascertained him to be son of William Chamberlain of Hull, and that his widow married a Miller.

RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN, often RICHARD CHAMBERLIN, Braintree, had Richard, born 19 December 1642, died in six days; removed to Roxbury, there had Benjamin, Joseph, Mary, Rebecca, and Ann, all baptized 4 June 1665; and Mehitable, 28 January 1666. His wife was Sarah Bugbee, daughter of the first Edward Bugbee, but she could only be second wife. He removed to Sudbury, and died before 15 April 1673, when his will of 12 February I receded was probated. It names those six children as then living, calls one Mary Smith, and adds to the number Elizabeth, Daniel, besides grandchild John Graves, and perhaps his sister Mary Graves, but of such Graves I know nothing.

RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN, often RICHARD CHAMBERLIN, Portsmouth, was the Secretary and a Counsellor under the Provincial Governor 1682.

His wife Rebecca, mother of the four last children, perhaps of more, died 26 September 1692, in prison on the preposterous charge of witchcraft, and he died 31 May 1706, aged 85. This name, like Parker, Wheeler, or other designation of office or employment, was so widely diffused in our mother country, that it must be vain to attempt tracing of relationships in various parts of this continent. In 1834, Farmer found the graduates of this name were three at Dartmouth, one at Harvard, one at Yale, and five at other New England colleges.

ROBERT CHABERS, Marshfield 1643, came in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, late in 1635, from London, aged 13; but where he had lived after coming, or later than 1643, is unknown.

THOMAS CHABERS, Scituate 1640, may have come that year from New Haven, and removed, as Deane says, 1658, to Charlestown. If so, he was, perhaps, father of the Honorable Charles Chabers, who died at Charlestown 27 April 1743, in his 83d year, says the gravestone.

FRANCIS CHAMPERNOON, Kittery 1639, Portsmouth 1646, York 1665, a nephew of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, was a Captain 1640, Major, and after July 1674 married Mary, widow of Robert Cutts, became one of the counsellors of the Province for New Hampshire 1684, died at Kittery early in 1687. His will, of 16 November 1686, probated 28 December of next year, shows that he left no children. In County Devon this is an ancient name, and the gentleman of the present generation has fine estate at Dartington. See Hubbard, 584; Belknap 83, 102; Hutchinson Collections 500, 556; Folsom, 66.

RICHARD CHAPMAN, Braintree, by wife Mary, had Susan, born 25 February 1649; Hope, 30 January 1655; Mary, 30 June 1657, died in few days; Richard, who was killed by the Indians as a soldier in Philip's war; and he died 1669. His will of 9 March probated 26 August following, names wife Joan, and son Richard. His daughter Susan married an Ellis, it is said, of Stonington, probably before that will. Of this name was another also of Braintree, as appears by record of Boston church administered on letters of dismissal from that church of his widow Florence Chapman.

ROBERT CHAPMAN, Saybrook, married 29 April 1642, Ann Bliss, daughter of Thomas Bliss of Hartford, had John, born early in July 1644; Robert, about middle September 1646; Ann, about 12 September 1648, died at 1 year; Hannah, 4 October 1650; Nathaniel, 16 February 1653; Mary, 15 April 1655; and Sarah, 25 September 1657; was a Captain, Representative 1652, and most of the years to 1673; an Assistant 1681-5. His wife died 20 November 1685; and he died 13 October 1687, aged 70. Tradition says that he came to Boston, 1635, from Hull, Yorkshire. But perhaps this may in part be confused with derivation of Ralph Chapman, of who he may have been brother. His daughter Hannah married 27 February 1677, David Bull; Mary married 2 May 1676, Samuel Bates; and Sarah married September 1686, Joseph Pratt, as his second wife.

ROBERT CHAPMAN, Dover, 1663, by wife Elizabeth, had Robert, born 18 December 1664, who died within 3 weeks.

ROBERT CHAPMAN, Saybrook, son of the first Robert Chapman, freeman 1667, married 27 July 1671, Sarah Griswold, eldest daughter of Francis Griswold of Norwich, had Samuel, born 12 September 1672; Robert, 19 April 1675; Sarah, 12 September 1677, died next month; Francis, 5 August 1678; Dorcas, 26 August 1680, died soon; Stephen, 24 November 1681, died young; a son 6 March 1681, died in 4 days; Sarah, again, 19 December 1686, died next month; and a son 6 November 1689, died in 3 days. His wife died 7 April 1692; and he married 29 October 1694, Mary, widow of Samuel Sheather of Killingworth, had Benjamin, March 1696; Mehitable, 15 May 1697, died under 10 months; Stephen, 5 March 1999; and Abigail, 20 March 1701. He was Representative several years, and died in that state 10 November 1711.

SIMON CHAPMAN, Windsor who died 12 October 1749, aged 79, and his wife Sarah, aged 60, had died 21 May 1735. He was son of Edward Chapman the first, had Samuel, born 2 March 1696; and also, after Simon, inserted 14 November 1700, having had Simon.

THOMAS CHAPMAN, Saybrook 1651, Representative May 1652 and October 1654, unless this be mistaken for Robert Chapman, an opinion which may be supposed to have influenced the making of Index to Trumbull's Colony record I since it does not include the pages, where the name of Thomas, in the text, appears at the General Court as deputy, and does include those where Robert's name appears at the Court in September 1652 and September 1654. Without much confidence in the conjecture, I incline to think Thomas entitled to his seat, though no more is heard of him.

THOMAS CHAPMAN, Charlestown, married 8 September 1675, Sarah Mirick, served short time in Turner's Company as a soldier, March 1676, had Sarah; Elizabeth, both baptized 22 August 1680; Mercy, 22 May 1681; Thomas, 22 April 1683; and posthumous daughter Abiel, 23 October 1687; for her father was drowned 29 August preceding.

WILLIAM CHAPMAN, New London 1656, among the freeman 1669, died 18 December 1699. From his will we get the names of children, John, William, Samuel, Jeremiah, Joseph, Sarah, and Rebecca; but little can be learned as to any of the sons, and of the daughters nothing. It is said that Jeremiah was born 1677; and we know that he, with William and Samuel, resided at New London, that Joseph went to Norwich, and that John, the oldest, was living at Colchester in May 1748, when it was affirmed "he will be 95 years old next November" so that it would be hazardous to deny, that he was born 1603. In 1834 Farmer found the graduates at Yale fourteen, at Harvard and Dartmouth four each, and two at other New England colleges.

CALEB CHAPPELL, Lebanon, was youngest son of George Chappell; and Sedgwick's History of Sharon says, that the name in that town is derived from him.

GEORGE CHAPPELL, Wethersfield, came in the Christian 1635, aged 20, from London, and two years later is found apprenticing to learn the trade of carpenter with Francis Stiles of Windsor, who had come in the same ship, and, perhaps, paid for his transportation. Fifteen years after he removed to New London with wife Margery and children Mary; Rachel; John; and George, born 5 March 1654; and there had Elizabeth, 30 August 1656; Esther, 15 April 1662; Sarah, 14 February 1666; Nathaniel, 21 May 1668; and Caleb, 7 October 1671. He died 1709, in his will speaks of aged wife Margery, committed to son Caleb, and grandson Comfort; but who was father of this Comfort is not told. Mary married 19 January 1665, John Daniels; Rachel married about 1667, Thomas Crocker.

JOHN CHAPPELL, eldest son of the preceding, was, perhaps, a soldier in Turner's Company 1676, may have been of Lyme 1678, and certainly was of Flushing, Long Island, 1704.

NATHANIEL CHAPPELL, Boston 1634, was in the employment of Atherton Hough, administered freeman 22 May 1639. He may have been brother of George Chappell.

WILLIAM CHAPPELL, New London 1659, perhaps brother of George Chappell, by wife Christian, had Mary, born February 1669; John, 28 February 1672; two named William, died young; Christian, February 1681, and perhaps more. Mary married John Wood.

HUGH CHARD, Boston 1694, son of William Chard, was not a householder in 1695, perhaps removed.

SAMUEL CHARD, Weymouth, brother of the preceding, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 28 November 1698, and perhaps others.

THOMAS CHARD, Boston, son of William Chard, probably eldest, had service as a soldier in Philip's war of Turner's Company at Hadley 1676, but lived at Boston 1678, and was freeman 1680 or 1, enjoyed the advantage of being counted as of the First Church in the former year and of the second church next year. See Genealogical Registrar III. 245 and 6.

WILLIAM CHARD, Weymouth, freeman 1654, had first wife Grace, who died at Weymouth 22 January 1656; and he married 27 November 1656, Elizabeth Pratt, daughter of Matthew Pratt, had Thomas, born 27 or 29 September 1657; Caleb, 19 October 1660; Mary, 8 April 1663; Samuel, 1 October 1666; Joanna, 17 August 1667; Patience, 21 April 1671; and Hugh, 4 January 1675. Perhaps he removed to Boston.

JOHN CHARLES, Charlestown 1636, removed to New Haven, there had Sarah, born October 1637, baptized October 1640; and John, baptized 20 May 1649; removed to Branford, was there joined in the compact of settler 1667, and died 1673. Other children are mentioned as Mary, who married 16 May 1651, Martin Tichenor; one daughter, wife of Jonathan Rose; another wife of John Peate; and Sarah married William Backus.

JOHN CHARLES, New Haven, son perhaps of the preceding, who died 1705, by wife Hannah, had Hannah, John and Abraham.

WILLIAM CHARLES, Salem 1637, lived on Marblehead side in 1648, and in 1672 was called 77 years old. In 1647, Sarah, perhaps his wife, perhaps daughter, united with the church. His will of 31 December 1672, probated June following, names wife Sarah executrix, no children, but gives to cousin Robert Charles, to cousin James Dennis’s children Mary, and James, who I suppose were of his wife’s cousins Mary Dennis. His widow died 21 December 1676.

NICHOLAS CHARLETT, Boston 1642, in the employment of John Mylam, freeman 1645, when the Colony record gives his name Chelett; by wife Catharine, had Elizabeth, born 15, baptized 20 July 1645, died in two months; and Mary. In July 1646 he was excommunicated and probably died in few years. His widow married Richard Haughton of New London, bore him several children, and died 9 August 1670.

AQUILA CHASE, Hampton 1640, a mariner from Cornwall, England, married Ann Wheeler, daughter of John Wheeler, had Sarah, and removed about 1646, to Newbury, here had Ann, born 6 July 1647; Priscilla, 14 March 1649; Mary, 3 February 1651; Aquila, 26 September 1652; Thomas, 25 July 1654; John, 2 November 1655; Elizabeth, 13 September 1657; Ruth, 18 March 1660; Daniel, 9 December 1661; and Moses, 24 December 1663; and died 29 August 1670, aged 52. His widow married 14 June 1672, Daniel Mussiloway, and died 21 April 1687; Sarah married 15 May 1666, Charles Annis; Ann married 27 April 1671, Thomas Barber; Priscilla married 10 February 1671, Abel Merrill; Mary married 9 March 1670, John Stevens; Elizabeth married 27 June 1678, at Andover, Zechariah Ayers; and Ruth died unmarried at 17 years.

AQUILA CHASE, Newbury, eldest son of the preceding, married Esther Bond, daughter of John Bond of the same, had Esther, born 18 November 1674; Joseph, 25 March 1677; Priscilla, 15 October 1681; Jemima; Rebecca; Ann; Hannah; and Abigail.

BENJAMIN CHASE, Freetown, youngest son of William Chase the first, had a family but details are want.

DANIEL CHASE, Newbury, son of the first Aquila Chase, married 25 August 1683, Martha Kimball, had Martha, born 18 August 1684; Sarah, 18 July 1686; Dorothy, 24 January 1689; Isaac, 19 January 1691; Lydia, 19 January 1693; Mehitable, 19 January 1695; Judith, 19 February 1697; Abner, 15 October 1699; Daniel, 15 October 1702; and Enoch; and died 8 February 1707.

ISAAC CHASE, Hampton, son of Thomas Chase of the same, married Mary Perkins of Hampton, removed to Edgartown, and had Thomas, born 9 November 1677; Rachel, 25 October 1679; Isaac, 21 January 1682; Abraham, 10 January 1684; James, 15 January 1686; Joseph, 26 February 1690; Jonathan, 28 December 1691; Hannah, 25 November 1693; Sarah, 15 October 1695; Priscilla, 12 November 1697; and Elizabeth, 9 September 1703; and he died 9 May 1727. Descendants of great numbers are widely diffused.

JOHN CHASE, Newbury, son of the first Aquila Chase, married 23 May 1677, Elizabeth Bingley, daughter probably of William Bingley, had William, born 3 January 1679; Philip, 23 September 1688; Charles, 12 January 1690; besides Jacob, Abraham, Phebe, Mary, Lydia, Elizabeth, and John, of uncertain dates; and by second wife Lydia had David, 20 October 1710.

JOSEPH CHASE, Hampton, brother of Isaac Chase, married 31 January 1672, Rachel Partridge, daughter of William Partridge of Salisbury, had Hannah, born 5 June following; Elizabeth, 11 March 1674, died next year; Jonathan, 14 March 1676; Ann, 11 January 1678; Elizabeth, again, 14 February 1685; and Rachel, 27 April 1687. He was taken by the Indians at Dover, in their assault upon Waldron's house 27 June 1689.

MOSES CHASE, Newbury, youngest son of the first Aquila Chase, married 10 November 1684, Ann Follansbee, perhaps daughter of the first Thomas Follansbee, had Moses and Daniel, twins born 20 September following, of which the first died soon; Moses, again, 20 January 1688; Samuel, 13 May 1690; Elizabeth, 25 September 1693; Stephen, 29 August 1696; Hannah, 13 September 1699; Joseph, 9 September 1703; and Benoni, 5 April 1708. For second wife he married 1713, Sarah Jacobs of Ipswich.

THOMAS CHASE, Hampton, perhaps elder brother of the first Aquila Chase, married Elizabeth Philbrick, daughter of Thomas Philbrick, had Thomas, born 1643; Joseph, 1615; Isaac, 1647; James, 1649; and Abraham, 1651; and died 1652. His widow married 26 October 1654, John Garland, and, next, 19 February 1674, Henry Roby, and died 11 February 1677. Thomas, the eldest son died unmarried 23 October 1714; and Abraham was killed in Philip's war, 1676, unmarried.

THOMAS CHASE, Newbury, second son of the first Aquila Chase, married 22 November 1677, Rebecca Follansbee, probably daughter of the first Thomas Follansbee, had Thomas, born 15 September 1680; Jonathan, 13 January 1683; James, 15 September 1685; Aquila, 15 July 1688; Ruth, 28 February 1691; Mary, 15 January 1695; Josiah, 15 July 1697; Rebecca, 17 April 1700; Nathan, 1702; besides Judith, and Elizabeth, of unknown dates. For second wife he married 2 August 1713, Elizabeth Mooers.

WILLIAM CHASE, Roxbury, came in the fleet with Winthrop, desired to be freeman 19 October 1630, and was sworn 14 May 1634. He brought wife Mary, and son William, had Mary, born May 1637, who died at 15 years, removed to Scituate, thence to Yarmouth, where he was appointed constable 1 March 1639, and had Benjamin, born about 1640, baptized 18 April 1652; died May 1659, and his widow died October following.

WILLIAM CHASE, Yarmouth, son of the preceding, born in England, had William, John, Elizabeth, all born before 1656, and Abraham; and died 27 February 1685. All the descendants now on Cape Cod, it is thought are derived from second son John Chase. Seventeen of this name had been graduates at Dartmouth in 1834, as Farmer found, eight at Harvard, four at Yale, and four at other New England colleges.

RICHARD CHASMORE, or RICHARD CHASMER, Pawtuxet 1656, has much claim to distinction only from the arrest by warrant to the marshal-general or high sheriff of Massachusetts in that region usurped jurisdiction. His crime probably was some crookedness in religion or concurring with the Gortonists, his neighbor on the opposite side of the river, but the officer took his prisoner to lodge at Providence, on his way to Boston, thus furnished opportunity for rescue by form of law under civil government of Providence. Perhaps this was concerted plan of Governor Endicott, to affront the adjoined humble Colony by exercise of this claim, and to render nugatory, at the same time, the effect of his own precept. See perfect statement of the case in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 293 and 362.

FRANCIS CHATFIELD, Guilford, one of the first settlers 1639, who died about 1647, probably unmarried.

GEORGE CHATFIELD, Guilford 1640, brother of the preceding, married Sarah Bishop, daughter of John Bishop, who died without child 20 September 1657; and he next married 29 March 1659, Isabel Nettleton, daughter of Samuel Nettleton, had John, born 8 April 1661; George, 18 August 1668; and Mercy, 26 April 1671. He died on 9 June following at Killingworth, whither he had removed 1663. John, his eldest son, had large family at Derby; but I have no details.

GEORGE CHATFIELD, Killingworth, son of the preceding, married 10 February 1692, Esther Hall, had Esther, born 20 November following; George, 25 December 1693; John, 5 March 1696; Abigail, 9 August 1698; Josiah, 7 January 1700; Alister, 23 October 1703; Cornelius, 3 June 1706; Naomi, 28 July 1709; Philip, 8 October 1711; Mary, 14 January 1716; and his wife died in few days. He died about 1720.

THOMAS CHATFIELD, Guilford, removed to New Haven, there married Ann Higginson, daughter of Reverend Francis Higginson, removed to Easthampton, Long Island, where he was long a magistrate of Connecticut jurisdiction. He was brother of Francis Chatfield and George Chatfield, and is supposed to have left no children.

JOHN CHATTERTON, New Haven, son of William Chatterton, married 30 April 1690, Mary Clemence, had three children and died 1701. His widow married 17 April 1709, John Brownson.

THOMAS CHATTERTON, Portsmouth 1631, sent by Mason, the patentee. In Adams' Annals called Chatherton.

WILLIAM CHATTERTON, New Haven 1656, took oath of fidelity 7 April 1657, had wife Mary Clark, daughter of John Clark or of James Clark of the same, and was a proprietor 1685. His children were, Sarah, born 19 July 1661; Hannah, 4 August 1663, died at 3 months; Mercy, 22 November 1664; Mary, 12 December 1666, died soon; John, 21 February 1669; Samuel, 10 June 1671; Mary, again, 29 November 1673; Joseph, 1 June 1676; Susanna, 17 September 1678; and Hannah, 23 January 1681.

NICHOLAS CHATWELL, Salem, married 15 February 1672, widow Sarah March, had Mary, born 24 December 1673; Hannah, 22 June 1676; and Priscilla, 22 April 1679.

BARNABAS CHAUNCY, Cambridge, son of President Chauncy, born in England shortly before the migration of his father, united with church 1656, and took his degrees of 1657 and 60, when his name stands last in the class. He was too infirm in body to obtain a livelihood, and dependent, after death of his father, on support of his brothers. He died unmarried at middle age; but the Collections calalogue does not mention the year.

CHARLES CHAUNCY, Scituate, a graduate scholar, the ninth child, fifth son of George Chauncy, born at Yardley, in County Herts, about 30 miles from London, baptized on Sunday, 5 November 1592, was bred at Westminister school and saved on 5 November 1605 by the discovery of Gunpowder plot; at Trinity college, Cambridge, took his degrees A.B. 1613; A.M. 1617; and B.D. 1624. Much reputation at the University he gained by Latin verses of lamentation on death 1619, of Queen Ann, and by Greek and Latin on death of her husband James, and accessibility of Charles, 1625, as in Cantab. Dolor et Solamen, so that he was chosen professor for one, if not two chairs. But in clerical life he was early at Marston St. Lawrence, and had the vicarage of Ware in his native shire, 1627-34 and from that valuable living for non-conformity in non-essentials, he was forced by Archbishop Laud. In search of comfortable and secure worship he came to New England, arriving in December 1637 at Plymouth, there preached as aid to Reyner, some time, but in 1641 was called to Scituate where about twelve years he ministered, yet with frequent troubles; and was prepared to go home for partaking the puritan triumph in England, when he was chosen head of the college at Cambridge, on dismissal in 1654, of Dunster, its first President. In this post he died 19 February 1672, aged 79 years and less probable than 4 months, but Mather, mistakes the inscription on his tomb, under his eye, of 80th for 82nd year of his age, to make his error consistent, dares to affirm in Magnalia III. 134, that he was born in 1589, instead of 1592, and on page 140 boldly asserts, that he died (gives the right time), "in the eighty-second year of his age." Explanation of his blunder is easily found. In Roman numerals the day and year of his death XIX February MDCLXXI in our Arabic numbers 1671 aet. LXXX. seems plain enough, but the careless author forced the II out of place, added them to the later number. Yet Green's Almanac of 1673 had said, "in his 80th year" and hardly a minister in the country could have failed to say, that the first President who died in office, was little over 79 years old. The author (Reverend W,C. Fowler) of the elaborate life of Chauncy, his ancestors and descendants in Genealogical Registrar X. 251, has quoted two paragraphs from the Magnalia, suppresing the word "second" after eighty, whereby Mather seems to be compelled to speak the truth "Fourscore years of age despatched it not," is the sweet commendation of Mather for his labors; and contempt for the chronology should not, perhaps, be so expressed especially as the earlier author following his natural weakness, to show his knowledge of the value of a man, in shekels, above the age of sixty, only 15, but younger, 50 shekels, makes Chauncy's worth "at 80 continued much what as it was when he was 60." In his valuable Biographical Dictionary Ed. 1857, Dr. Allen had more scrupulously followed the error of the Magnalia. We see, in the Biographical Britannica, that he descends from a family that came in with the conquest, and he was great uncle of Sir Henry Chauncy who dignified the History of Hertfordshire in two large folios. His wife was Catharine Eyre, daughter of Robert Eyre, Esq. of Wilts, barrister at law, by his wife Ann Still, daughter of that John Still, Bishop of Bath, and in the latter days of Elizabeth, a true church puritan, who desired more reformation than her majesty could submit to. She was married to Chauncy 17 March 1630, and died 24 January 1668, aged 66, and had Sarah, born at Ware, 13 January 1631, who married 26 October 1659, Gershom Bulkely; Isaac Chauncy, 23 August 1632, Harvard College 1651; Ichabod Chauncy, 1635, Harvard College 1651; Barnabas Chauncy, Harvard College 1657; Nathaniel Chauncy and Elnathan Chauncy, twins born at Plymouth, about 1639, baptized at Scituate 1641, both Harvard College 1661, as in the same year was their younger brother Ishmael Chauncy; and Hannah; the five last born at Scituate. A celebrated descendant of the same name, minister of Boston before the middle of the last century, had furnished a Memoir generous in tone, with slight error of detail, that was preserved in 1 Massachusetts History Collections X. 171.

CHARLES CHAUNCY, Fairfield, eldest son of Israel Chauncy, (not of Nathaniel Chauncy, as Stiles, 567, in History of Windsor, has it) the Stratford minister and grandson of the President, married 29 June 1692, Sarah Burr, daughter of John Burr, and second wife married 16 March 1699, Sarah Wolcott, daughter of the third Henry Wolcott, who died 5 January 1704. He by first wife had Israel, born 29 June 1693; and John, 7 November 1695; and by the next wife had Abiah, 22 January 1700; Robert, 20 November 1701; and Ichabod, born 4 days before death of his mother, and baptized as many days after it; but he took third wife Elizabeth, named in his will, and died 4 May 1714, and through his second wife was great grandfather of Isaac Chauncy, the celebrated naval officer.

CHARLES CHAUNCY, Boston, youngest son of Isaac Chauncy, the London minister and grandson of the President, born in England, married Sarah Walley, daughter of Honorable John Walley, had Charles, who died infant; Charles Chauncy, again, born 1 January 1705, Harvard College 1721, one of the ablest divines Boston ever saw; Mary; Walley; and Isaac. He was a merchant and died 4 May 1711.

ELNATHAN CHAUNCY, Boston, son of the President, a physician, by wife Thomasine, had Theodore, born 1 October 1682; and the father died beyond sea next year, as administration was granted to his widow 29 April 1684. Her death is mentioned in Sewall's Diary 2 July 1686; and perhaps her son died young.

ICHABOD CHAUNCY, second son of the President, born in England, after graduating at Harvard and study of the sister sciences of medicine and theology went home, was chaplain in the regiment of Sir Edward Harley at Dunkirk, and had clerical function in England. But being persecuted for nonconformity became a physician, was in Holland 1684, but soon back to England, died 25 July 1691, at Bristol, where he had good reputation and property. He had one son Charles, born 14 March 1674, who died in London, 3 June 1763; and another Nathaniel Chauncy, who was minister of the Church of England near 50 years at the Devizes in Wiltshire.

ISAAC CHAUNCY, eldest brother of the preceding, born in England, went home, and was minister at Woodborough, in Wiltshire until ejected in 1662, when he settled in London as a physician, and after some years became minister to an independent congregation in London, where he was succeeded by the admirable Dr. Watts (who for short time was his colleague) and died 28 February 1712. His children were Isaac; Uzziel, who died 31 August 1696; Charles, before mentioned; and Elizabeth, who married 10 December 1689, Reverend John Nisbet of London, and died 1727.

ISRAEL CHAUNCY, Stratford, youngest brother of the preceding, ordained in autumn of 1666, married 8 January 1667, Mary Nichols, daughter of Isaac Nichols of Stratford, had Charles, born 3 September 1668, Harvard College 1686, before mentioned; Isaac Chauncy, 5 October 1670, Harvard College 1693, the minister of Hadley, 1696 to death 2 May 1745; and Robert, 15 October 1677, who in youth went to England. For second wife he had married 11 November 1684, Sarah Hodshon, but had no more children. Anxiety from many of his flock who preferred the preaching of Reverend Zechariah Walker, was dissipated after long disagreement by separation and planting of a new town.

NATHANIEL CHAUNCY, Hatfield, twin brother of Elnathan Chauncy, was of Windsor 1667, when very diverse affections disturbed the declining years of the first minister Wareham by means of rising admiration of Reverend John Woodbridge; of which enough is to be seen in the Colony record of Trumbull, II. 85, 113. In happier lot, he married 12 November 1673, Abigail Strong, daughter of Elder John Strong, had Isaac, born 5, baptized 6 September 1674; Catharine, 12 January baptized 16 April 1676; Abigail, baptized 14 October 1677; Charles, 3, baptized 7 September 1679, died in few weeks; removed 1681, to Hatfield, there had Nathaniel Chauncy, born 21 September 1681, Yale College 1702, first minister at Durham; Ann; and Sarah, 1683; and he died 4 November 1685. His widow married 8 September following Medad Pomeroy. In modern times some insert e before the last letter of this name. In 1831, graduates at Harvard are twelve, of which seven were clergymen, and at Yale, eight, of which one only as clergymen, and all are descendants of the illustrated President.

JOHN CHEATER, Newbury, had Hannah, born 7 August 1644; Lydia 2 January 1648; and in 1654, his wife Alice suffered admonition of the Court for levity of carriage. He removed to Wells, kept an Inn, 1662, and had grant of the ferry on the way to Cape Porpoise. See Coffin, and Folsom, 108, and especially Colony record.

JOSEPH CHECKETT, Scituate 1638, probably removed with Lothrop to Barnstable.

ANTHONY CHECKLEY, Boston, merchant son of William Checkley of a small parish, called Preston Capes, about 7 miles from Daventry, in the West of Northamptonshire, baptized 31 July 1636, was Captain of Artillery Company, married Hannah Wheelwright, daughter of Reverend John Wheelwright, had John, born 30 December 1661; Sarah, 18 June 1668; Elizabeth, 8 May 1672; Mary, 14 October 1673; and Hannah, 19 December 1674; married second wife 1678, Lydia Scottow, widow of Benjamin Gibbs, daughter of Joshua Scottow, by whom he had no children, was chosen 1689, Attorney General, but happily superseded before the witchcraft infatuation, and died 18 October 1708. His widow married 6 March 1712, William Colman; and his daughter Hannah married Captain John Adams.

JOHN CHECKLEY, Boston, perhaps son of the preceding, married 28 May 1703, Rebecca Miller, was a minister of great capacity for controversy, fined for sedition in publishing Leslie's "Short and Easy Method with the Deists," with addition of discovery on Episcopacy. Enough on this portion of Massachusetts Annals may be seen in Updike's History of Narraganset church, and perhaps even in the briefer account of the candid Biographical Dictionary of Eliot.

SAMUEL CHECKLEY, Boston, youngest brother of Anthony Checkley, before mentioned, and by another mother arriving at Boston 3 August 1670, and in the Newsletter of 4 January 1739, obituary notice, is said to have been born in Northamptonshire 14 October 1653.

BARTHOLOMEW CHEEVER, Boston, cordwainer, came, about 1637, from Canterbury, County Kent, where the name was common. See 3 Massachusetts History Collections VIII. 310. He united with the church 31 May 1646, and was administered freeman 1647, made constable 1653, and died 18 December 1693, aged 85, leaving widow Lydia Barrett, sister of Thomas Barrett and William Barrett, but no children. His estate by will of 21 October before was divided to brother David; to six children then living, Lydia, James, Mary, Israel, Elizabeth, and Sarah; cousin Ezekiel, the pedagogue; cousin Richard, cordwainer; one part in fee, and one to his son Bartholomew in fee after reaching 21 years. Dr. Farmer was misled by translation errors in extracting from the family bible of wife died, Cheever, as printed in note to a memoir of Mrs. Eleanor Davis, given by the Boston Magazine 4 April 1826, page 619. Such happy depositories of family details often furnish distortion or imperfect materials.

DANIEL CHEEVER, Cambridge, brother of the preceding, by wife Esther, had Mary, born 14 February 1646; Lydia, 26 November 1647; James; Esther, about 21 March 1656; Daniel, 1 January 1654, died soon; Daniel, again, 12 December 1654, died young; Mary, 6 October 1656; John, baptized 31 July 1659; Israel, baptized 26 January 1662; Hannah and Elizabeth, twins died soon; Elizabeth, again, baptized 6 August 1665; all so described in the register of matchless Mitchell; and Sarah, born probably after his pen stopped. Elizabeth married Stephen Palmer.

EZEKIEL CHEEVER. New Haven, the famous schoolmaster, born in London, 25 January 1616, arriving at Boston 1637, went next year with Governor Eaton to his new plantation, there his wife died who he married 1638, by whom he had Samuel Cheever, born 22 September baptized 15 November 1639, Harvard College 1659; Mary, baptized 29 November 1640; Ezekiel, 12 June 1642, probably died young; Elizabeth, 6 April 1645, who married 3 September 1666, Samuel Goldthwait; Sarah, 20 not (as presented in Genealogical Registrar IX. 358), 21 September 1646; and Hannah, 25 June 1648; was Representative 1646, removed 1630 to Ipswich, where his teaching was higher esteemed, but in 1660 to Charlestown, and moved in cycles of 10 years, he came last to Boston, where he passed the residue of his life to 21 August 1708. For second wife he took at Ipswich 18 November 1652, Ellen Rea, daughter probably of Daniel Rea, and sister of Joshua Rea, as also sister of the wife of famous Captain Thomas Lothrop, who bore him Abigail, 20 October 1653; Ezekiel, again, 1 July 1655; Nathaniel, 23 June 1657, died next month; Thomas Cheever, 23 August 1658, Harvard College 1677; Susanna; and William, baptized 29 January 1665. His wife died 10 September 1706, and she had been named executrix in his will of 16 February preceding that he did not alter, though he lived to 21 August 1708. In it he mentioned only six children (the rest of the twelve, probably having died) and grandchild Ezekiel Russell. Mary had married 22 December 1671, Captain William Lewis of Farmington, as his second wife.

EZEKIEL CHEEVER, Salem, a tailor, probably son of the preceding, freeman 1681, living in the village which became Danvers. He married 17 June 1680, Abigail Leffingwell, daughter of Michael Leffingwell, had Abigail, born 22 March following; Thomas, 28 February 1684; Ezekiel, 15 March 1686, who died young; and Samuel, 9 February 1690.

PETER CHEEVER, Salem 1668, married 19 April 1669, Lydia Haley, perhaps daughter of William Haley, had Peter and Samuel, twins born 29 December 1678.

RICHARD CHEEVER, Boston, a soldier on service at Hadley, 1676, of Turner's Company, a constable in 1693, no doubt, was the man by Bartholomew, in his will, called cousin, i. e. nephew but which of the brothers of Bartholomew was his father is not seen.

SAMUEL CHEEVER, eldest child of Ezekiel Cheever the first, freeman 1669, was the first minister of Marblehead, though not the earliest preacher there by thirty-six years, married 28 June 1671, Ruth Angier, daughter of Edmund Angier of Cambridge, had probably other children besides Ames Cheever, Harvard College 1707, minister of Manchester; though he preached from 1677, at Marblehead, he was not ordained before 13 August 1684, and died 29 May 1724.

THOMAS CHEEVER, Boston, son of Ezekiel Cheever the first by his second wife, freeman 1680, was minister at Malden, ordained 27 July 1681, but in March 1686, his church "charged with scandalous immorality" as we learn from Chief Justice Sewall's Diary in Genealogical Registrar Reg. 72, caused his dismissal I suppose. He married 11 February 1702, Mary Bordman of Boston who lived not long, and a second wife married 30 July 1707, was Elizabeth Warren. Again he was settled as minister 19 October 1715, at Chelsea, and died 27 December 1749, old enough without the exaggeration of some parishioners making him 93. Of this name, in 1834, graduates at Harvard had been eleven, and three at Bowd.

WILLIAM CHELSON, Scarborough, died 1676, leaving one child and a widow who gave in, 1 July of that year his inventory.

DANIEL CHENEY, Newbury, son of John Cheney, married 8 October 1665, Sarah Bayley, probably daughter of John Bayley, had Sarah, born 11 September 1666; Judith, 1668; Daniel, 31 December 1670; Hannah, 3 September 1673; Joseph, 10 July 1676; Elinor, 29 March 1679; and James, 6 April 1685; and died 10 September 1694.

JOHN CHENEY, Newbury, shoemaker, freeman 17 May 1637, had been the year before at Roxbury, perhaps brother of William Cheney, brought in 1635 to Roxbury wife Martha, and children Mary, Martha, John, and probably Daniel, born 1635; had Sarah, February 1637; Peter, 1639; Hannah, 16 November 1642; Nathaniel, 12 January 1645; and Elizabeth, 14 January 1648; went again to Roxbury, there was drowned December 1671. His daughter Martha married about 1649, Anthony Sadler; and, next, 1652, Nicholas Busby the second.

JOHN CHENEY, Watertown, an early settler, died 5 September 1675. Margaret, perhaps his daughter married April 1651, Deacon Thomas Hastings, as his second wife; and John, who died 6 August; and Ebenezer, who died 17 November 1689, both at Cambridge, may have been his children.

JOHN CHENEY, Newbury, eldest son of the first John Cheney, married 20 May 1660, Mary Plummer, daughter of Francis Plummer, had Mary, born 29 March 1661; Martha, 11 September 1663; and John, 29 January 1669; and died 7 January 1673. Mary married 24 July 1684, Isaac Kilborne of Rowley, who was deaf and dumb.

JOSEPH CHENEY, Medfield 1678, was, perhaps, son of William Cheney the first of Roxbury.

NATHANIEL CHENEY, Newbury, son of the first John Cheney, took oath of allegiance 25 May 1669.

PETER CHENEY, Newbury, brother of the preceding, married 11 May 1663, Hannah Noyes, daughter of Nicholas Noyes, had Peter, born 6 November following; John, 10 May 1666; Nicholas, 23 May 1667; perhaps Huldah; Mary, 2 September 1671; perhaps Martha; Nathaniel, 2 October 1675, died within two years; Jemima, 29 November 1677; Eldad, 24 October 1681; Hannah, 13 September 1683; and Ichabod, 22 September 1685. Huldah married 20 January 1691, Timothy Worcester; Mary and Martha married 29 of same month William Worcester, and Francis Worcester, respectively, so that it might seem, that three brothers married three sisters near the same time, but for the relationships I mean not to be responsible; Jemima married first, a French, and, next, 1703, Matthew Pettingell.

THOMAS CHENEY, Roxbury, eldest son of William Cheney, married 11 January 1656, Jane Atkinson, was of Cambridge, where he had Margaret, born 26 November following; and, perhaps Thomas; and William; freeman 1666, at Roxbury had Jane, 5 June 1669; Joseph, 16 February 1671; Hannah, 6 July 1673; Benjamin, 29 January 1676; and Ebenezer, 2 November 1678. Jane married Thomas Belknap of Woburn.

WILLIAM CHENEY, Roxbury, had John, born 29 September 1639, died soon; John, again, 25 September 1640; Mehitable, 1 June 1643; Joseph, 6 June 1647; and probably more certainly Thomas, first born besides William Ellen, and Margaret, who in his will of good estate 30 April 1667, are provided for, as the before named; was freeman 1666, died next year on 30 June, aged 63. His widow Margaret married . . Burge, and died July 1686.

WILLIAM CHENEY, Middletown, freeman of Connecticut 1667, Representative 1660, 1, 3, and often after, died 1705, leaving daughter Abigail, but no son.

WILLIAM CHENEY, Roxbury, perhaps son of the first Thomas Cheney, married 24 May 1686, Rebecca Newell, daughter of Jacob Newell, had Thomas, born 29 January 1688; Rebecca, 3 August 1690; William, 1 December 1692; and a daughter Abiel, 21 May 1696, who was posthumous, for the father died 25 March before.

WILLIAM CHERRALL, a baker from London, aged 26, was embarked in the Love 1635, with Ursula, 40, if the custom house record be correct; but where he sat down, or whether she were his mother aunt, sister, maid, or widow is likely to be left in the dark.

ELISHA CHESEBROUGH, ELISHA CHEESBROUGH, ELISHA CHESSBRUCK, or ELISHA CHEESBROOK, Stonington, son of William Chesebrough, married 20 April 1665, Rebecca Palmer, daughter of Walter Palmer, had only Elihu, born 3 December 1668, was Representative 1669, and died 1671. His widow married 24 July 1672, John Baldwin of New London, her name is wrong, I think, in Genealogical Registrar XIII. 25.

ELISHA CHESEBROUGH, ELISHA CHEESBROUGH, ELISHA CHESSBRUCK, or ELISHA CHEESBROOK, Stonington, son of the first Samuel Chesebrough of the same, married Mary Minor, daughter of Joseph Minor of the same; but no more is known.

He died 22 November 1678, and his widow married 15 July 1680, Joseph Saxton. Bridget married William Thompson; Hannah married Joseph Prentice; and Margaret married 18 January 1696, Joseph Stanton.

NATHANIEL CHESEBROUGH, NATHANIEL CHEESBROUGH, NATHANIEL CHESSBRUCK, or NATHANIEL CHEESBROOK, Stonington, son of the preceding, married Sarah Stanton, perhaps daughter of the second Thomas Stanton of the same.

SAMUEL CHESEBROUGH, SAMUEL CHEESBROUGH, SAMUEL CHESSBRUCK, or SAMUEL CHEESBROOK, Rehoboth, son of William Chesebrough, born in England, removed to Stonington with his father, by wife Abigail, had Abigail, born 30 September 1656; Mary, 28 February 1668, died at 11 years; Samuel, 20 February or November 1660; William, 8 or 30 April 1662; Sarah, 24 November or December 1663; Elisha, 4 April or August 1667; and Elizabeth, 6 January 1669, all (except Mary), baptized at New London, of which Stonington was then part in 1672; was made freeman 1657, Representative 1665, 6, 70, and later years. He died 31 January 1673, and his widow married 15 June 1675, Joshua Holmes. His daughter Abigail married John Avery; and Sarah married 4 January 1689, William Gallup, both of Stonington.

SAMUEL CHESEBROUGH, SAMUEL CHEESBROUGH, SAMUEL CHESSBRUCK, or SAMUEL CHEESBROOK, Stonington, youngest son of the first Nathaniel Chesebrough of the same, married 4 January 1699, Priscilla Alden, called granddaughter of Mayflower John Alden, but who was her father I see not, had Mary, born 21 September 1702; Priscilla, 6 November 1704; Nathaniel, 19 August 1706, died young; Amos, 2 February 1709; Hannah, 16 July 1712; Sarah, 14 August 1714; and Prudence, 28 February 1722. Six of his children lived to be married.

WILLIAM CHESEBROUGH, WILLIAM CHEESBROUGH, WILLIAM CHESSBRUCK, or WILLIAM CHEESBROOK, Boston, came from Boston, County Lincoln (in or near where probably he was born about 1594), with wife Ann, 1630, arriving in the fleet with Winthrop. He had married 15 December 1620, Ann Stevenson, and they had in England, Mary, baptized 2 May 1622; Martha, 18 September 1623; David and Jonathan, twins 9 September 1624; all died soon; Samuel, 1 April 1627; Andronicus, 6 February 1629 (who died in two days, as did Junia, twins the May before) and Nathaniel, 25 January 1630. On this side of the water they were among earliest member of the First Church of Boston, numbers 44 and 5, on the list, he was administered freeman 18 May 1631, and the same day his house was burned. Children in Boston baptized were John, 2 September or 11 November 1632, as the numerals for month and day are variously read, who died at Stonington, probably unmarried; Jabez, 3 May 1635, died young; Elisha, 4 June 1637; and at Braintree born Joseph, 18 July 1640; and this year he was Representative. Soon after he removed to Rehoboth, where he was active 1643, and in less than seven years to Pawcatuck, where he was the earliest permanent settler in that part of New London called Stonington. This brought the Connecticut government to vindicate their territorial right, and very curious matter may be read about the jurisdiction in Trumbull, Collections record I. 216-17; to the result, however, the judicious mildness of Chesebrough led soon, and he was a Representative 1653, 5, 7, and 64, for New London or Stonington. He died 9 June 1667, leaving widow Ann, who died 29 August 1673. His son Joseph, under 12 years old, cut his leg with a scythe, and bled to death. A mother or sister I think, may be found for him in the Boston list of members of the church. Sarah Chesebrough, number 78, and upon the margin is marked early death.

WILLIAM CHESEBROUGH, WILLIAM CHEESBROUGH, WILLIAM CHESSBRUCK, or WILLIAM CHEESBROOK, Stonington, son of Samuel Chesebrough first of the same, married 13 December 1698, for second wife Mary McDowell, daughter of Fergus McDowell, had William, David, born 1 February 1703; Thomas, Abigail, and Mary; and died 1739. His widow died 1744, aged 66.

THOMAS CHESHOLME, THOMAS CHISHOLM, or THOMAS CHESEHOLM, Cambridge 1635, freeman 3 March 1636, Artillery Company 1638, had wife Isabel, but probably no children, for none is mentioned in that registrar of matchless Mitchell, who carefully tells, how Benoni, son of the runagate scholar, Nathaniel Eaton, was under his care. He was Deacon and died 18 August 1671, by nuncupative will made that day, gave Benoni Eaton a field, and left small estate to his friends, Mitchell, and Oakes's children.

PHILIP CHESLEY, Dover 1642, by wife Elizabeth, had Thomas, born about 1644; Philip, 1616; Esther; Mary; and Elizabeth. After 1661 he had second wife Sarah, and probably third, Joanna, in 1673; and was living 1685. Esther married John Hall; and Mary married Ralph Hall.

PHILIP CHESLEY, Dover, son of the preceding, was constable 1695. His will of 18 December in that year names wife Sarah, sons Samuel, James, Philip, and Ebenezer. He had also Hannah. A former wife was Elizabeth Leighton, widow of Philip Cromwell, daughter of Thomas Leighton. His eldest son Captain Samuel Chesley, of Durham, had served much as a good soldier, before he was killed by the Indians 17 September 1707. Belknap I. 168, 74, 6.

THOMAS CHESLEY, Dover, son of Philip Chesley the first, married 22 August 1663, Elizabeth Thomas, had Thomas, born 4 June 1664; John; George; Joseph; Elizabeth; Sarah; Susanna; and Mary; and was killed by the Indians 15 November 1667. Belknap I. 72.

JOHN CHESTER, Wethersfield, son of Leonard Chester, married February 1654, Sarah Welles, daughter of Governor Thomas Welles, had Mary, born 23 December 1634; John, 10 June 1656; Sarah, 11 November 1657; Stephen, 26 May 1659; Thomas, 23 March 1662; Samuel, 23 May 1664; Prudence, 10 December 1666; and Eunice, 17 May 1668; freeman 1658, Representative 1676, and often after, was a Captain, and died 23 February 1698; and his widow died 16 December following.

LEONARD CHESTER, Watertown 1633, son of John Chester of Blaby, County Leicester, by Dorothy Hooker, sister of famous Thomas Hooker, had probably brought wife Mary, of whose parentage some diversity of opinion arises. Bond, 736, calls her Nevill, but Chester's will that had not been seen by him, speaks of his father Wade, and yet Goodwin, in his genealogy of the family page 8, quotes an authority that calls her widow Wade, daughter of Nicholas Sharpe, and, in my guess, it may be that she was widow of Sharpe, and daughter of Wade. He had John, born 3 August 1635 at Watertown, but had left his wife there, while he went to look out for the desirable region, to which next year his uncle Hooker and Governor Haynes removed. Wild tradition makes this son the first white child born in the town of Wethersfield, where, we may be sure, no English child was born for many months later. Other children were Dorcas, born at the new settlement 1 November 1637, who married 12 November 1656, the second Reverend Samuel Whiting; Stephen, 3 March 1639, who died unmarried 23 April 1705; Mary, 15 January 1611, died unmarried at 28 years; Prudence, 16 February 1643, married 30 December 1669, Thomas Russell of Charlestown; Eunice, 15 June 1646, married 25 February 1673, the second Richard Sprague, and died 27 May 1676; and Mercy, 14 February 1647, died unmarried at 22 years. The father died 11 December 1648, aged 38 or 9; and his widow married not before 1655, Honorable Richard Russell of Charlestown, and died 30 December 1688, nearly 80 years old.

SAMUEL CHESTER, New London, 1663, mariner, was also a competent surveyor; had first wife Mary, and children John; Susanna; Samuel; all baptized probably in October 1670; and Mercy, 1 June 1673; and by wife Hannah, who survived him, had Hannah, baptized March 1695; and Jonathan, March 1697. In his will the first son named is Abraham; Susanna, Samuel, and Hannah, are not found; and Mercy is called Burrows, perhaps wife of John.

SAMUEL CHESTER, Boston 1676, a merchant of this name, in 1831, ten had been graduates at Yale, and one at Harvard.

JAMES CHICHESTER, Taunton 1643, Salem 1650, when Mary, probably his wife, united with the church and on 21 April her children John, James, Mary, and Martha, were baptized as also Sarah in May 1651; James, 9 May 1652; William, 15 May 1653; Elizabeth, 26 March 1654; and Susanna, 10 May 1657; but perhaps one, two, or more of these were children of William Chichester; and James may have removed to Huntington, Long Island, and was administered freeman of Connecticut 1664, unless this were son of the same name, who married a daughter of Jonathan Porter of Huntington which is not probable though he may have been 10 years old when baptized. Mary married 5 September 1664, John Marston junior.

RICHARD CHICK, Roxbury, by wife whose name is not seen, had Richard, born 26 June 1678; and died 13 October 1686, aged 48, and his widow died 19 March 1699.

FRANCIS CHICKERING, Dedham, freeman 13 May 1640, Artillery Company 1643, was Ensign, Representative 1644 and 53. He came, probably in 1637, from the Northern part of County Suffolk bringing wife Ann Fiske, daughter of John Fiske of England, and sister of our John Fiske, the first minister of Wenham, with her children Ann, and Mary; here they had Elizabeth, born 26 September 1638, who died young; Bethia, 23 December 1640; Esther, 4 November 1643; John, 19 April 1646, died perhaps before his father; and Mercy, perhaps 10 April 1648; m; second wife 10 June 1650, Sarah Sibley, widow of John, and died October 1658. His widow probably became third wife of John Bowles of Roxbury, and his good estate went chiefly to five daughters of which Mary married 22 March 1647, John Metcalf; Ann married 3 November 1652, Stephen Paine; Bethia married 6 December 1659, Samuel Newman; and Esther married 20 October 1659, Daniel Smith; the two last of Rehoboth.

HENRY CHICKERING, Dedham, perhaps brother of the preceding, born in England, had grant of land at Salem, 1640, but probably never accepted, freeman 2 June 1641, was one of the first Deacons at Dedham, and Representative 1642-4, 7 and 51, had wife Ann, only son John, perhaps only child. No other being mentioned in his will, made 23 May 1671, probated 31 August following, inventory included land and house valued £200, at Henstead, near Wrentham, in the New England part of Suffolk. His widow died 18 February 1675.

JOHN CHICKERING, Dedham, son of the preceding, was a physician, freeman 1670, by wife Elizabeth Habornee, daughter of Samuel Hagborne of Roxbury, and removed to Charlestown, had Catharine, born 16 February 1662, baptized 15 February 1663; Ann, baptized 7 February 1664; Catharine, again, 21 May 1655; Mary, or Mercy, 8 April 1666; Elizabeth, 7 April 1667; who all died young; Mercy, born 13, baptized 22 March 1668; Elizabeth, again and Catharine third, twins baptized 18 April 1669, of who Elizabeth, soon died; John, 14 August 1670; Ann, again, 3 December 1671; Elizabeth, third, 30 March 1673, died soon; and Elizabeth, fourth, 25 October 1674, died young; and he died 28 July 1676, leaving good estate to his widow Elizabeth, who married 16 May following Thomas Greaves, had one more daughter and died 22 July 1679, aged 44. The third Catharine married 12 December 1693, Jonathan Wardwell; the second Ann married Samuel Brackenbury; and Mercy married 22 November 1699, Jacob Shepard. Of his twelve children the only son lived at Charlestown, and by wife Susanna Symmes, had three sons and three daughters of which I am not able to furnish details.

NATHANIEL CHICKERING, Dedham, called nephew by the preceding, yet who was his father is not known, married 30 December 1666, Mary Judson, daughter of Samuel Judson, but no issue is mentioned. On 3 December 1674 he married Lydia Fisher, daughter of Daniel Fisher, had Prudence, born 9 September following; Nathaniel, 28 March 1677; Lydia, 1 December 1678; Mary, 15 December 1680; John, 22 November 1682; Abigail, 29 March 1685; Daniel, 1 July 1687; and Samuel, 14 February 1689. He was freeman 1681, and died early in 1699, when Nathaniel, and his mother, who lived to 17 July 1737, aged 85, had administration.

NATHANIEL CHICKERING, Dedham, son of the preceding, married 14 August 1700, Mary Thorpe, had Nathaniel, born 15 April following; and Jeremiah, 20 May 1705. He had second wife 26 June 1716, Deborah Wright.

BENJAMIN CHILD, or BENJAMIN CHILDS, Roxbury, probably nephew of Ephraim Child here, son of Benjamin Child in England, may rather be called of Boston, as he lived in Muddy river plantation, now Brookline, but worshipped at Roxbury 1648, by wife Mary, administered into the church of Roxbury 23 January 1659, had Ephraim, who was killed by the Indians at Northfield, 4 September 1675, with Captain Beers; Benjamin; and Joshua; all baptized 27 February 1659; Mary, 28 October 1660; a child died unbaptized December 1662; Elizabeth, 21 February 1664; Margaret, 28 January 1666; John, 8 March 1668, died soon; Mehitable, 29 August 1669; John, again, 1 October 1671; and Joseph, 31 August 1673, died soon.

BENJAMIN CHILD, or BENJAMIN CHILDS, Roxbury, son of the preceding, married 7 March 1683, Grace Morris, daughter of Edward Morris, had Ephraim, born 18 December following; Benjamin, 19 July 1685; Edward, 1 November 1687 ; Grace, 27 October 1689 ; Mary, 25 October 1691; Ebenezer, 7 September 1693; Martha, 5 October 1695; William, 14 October 1697; Penuel, 3 September 1699; Richard, 22 October 1701; Thomas, 10 November 1703; and Margaret, 26 May 1706. His wife died 10 December 1723; and he died 26 January following.

EPHRAIM CHILD, or EPHRAIM CHILDS, Watertown, freeman 18 May 1631, may well be thought to have come in the fleet with Winthrop, for he had married at Nayland, County Suffolk 8 February 1625, widow Elizabeth Palmer, and required administration 19 October 1630, had good estate, no children, was Deacon, Representative 1635, 46, 9, 50, and often after, died 13 February 1663, aged 70. His will of 10 November preceding provided for widow Elizabeth, for Richard Child and John Child, probably nephews, and Ephraim, another nephew, son of his brother Benjamin; besides William Bond, senior, made executor jointly with his widow and gave a liberal sum annually for support of a town school forever. She is conjectured by Dr. Bond, pages 46, 7, and 152, to have been daughter of Jonas Bond of Bury St. Edmunds, grandfather of our William of Watertown, for she in her will, 11 June 1667, probated 1 October following, made him sole executor called him loving, cousin i.e. nephew besides named his wife and five of his seven living children, and Richard, and Benjamin Child, kinsmen of her husband.

HENRY CHILD, or HENRY CHILDS, Berwick, killed by the Indians 28 September 1691.

JEREMIAH CHILD, or JEREMIAH CHILDS, Swanzey 1669, by wife Martha, had Jeremiah, born 2 September 1683.

JOHN CHILD, or JOHN CHILDS, Watertown, by Bond thought to have been a nephew of Ephraim Child, by first wife Mary, had Mary, born 8 January 1664; and by second wife married 29 May 1668, Mary Warren, eldest daughter of Daniel Warren, had John, 25 April 1669; Elizabeth, 24 July 1670; and Daniel, whose birth is not seen, but his baptism 5 June 1687, was several years after the death of his father, and second marriage of his mother. He died 15 October 1676, aged 40; and his widow married 13 April following Nathaniel Fiske.

JOSEPH CHILD, or JOSEPH CHILDS, Watertown, whose parentage is unknown, married 3 July 1654, Sarah Platts, had Joseph, born 7 January 1659; was freeman 1654, and died 5 May 1698.

JOSEPH CHILD, or JOSEPH CHILDS, Watertown, son of the preceding, married 23 September 1680, Sarah Norcross, daughter of Richard Norcross the first, had Sarah, born 11 November 1681; Joseph, 21 June 1685; Mary, 11 April 1687; John, 29 March 1689; Samuel, 7 January 1695; Isaac, 5 March 1700; Lydia, 2 June 1706; Abigail, 19 September 1708; and Ebenezer, 19 January 1712; but the last three were by second wife married 25 July 1705, Ruth, widow of John Maddock. He died 3 November 1711, and his widow says Bond, was innholder 1719.

JOSHUA CHILD, or JOSHUA CHILDS, Roxbury, son of Benjamin Child the first, married 9 March 1686, Elizabeth Morris, daughter of Edward Morris, had Joshua, born 20 January 1687; Isaac, 18 December 1688; Elizabeth, 20 July 1631; Mehitable, 27 October 1693; Joseph, 7 January 1696; Abigail, 15 March 1698; Ann, 8 April 1700; Prudence, 22 July 1703; Samuel, 7 November 1705; and Caleb, 16 September 1709.

RICHARD CHILD, or RICHARD CHILDS, Barnstable, married 15 October 1649, Mary Linnell, daughter of Robert Linnell of the same, but of issue I am ignorant.

RICHARD CHILD, or RICHARD CHILDS, Marshfield, married 24 January 1665, Mary Truant. Miss Thomas, in Genealogical Registrar XII. 68, makes her daughter of Maurice Truant.

RICHARD CHILD, or RICHARD CHILDS, Watertown, brother of John Child of the same, as Bond says, and he makes him born 1631, that may seem a year or two before his time, but sooner or later, they both, in my opinion were born on this side of the Atlantic, and probably nephew of Ephraim, who showed them great kindness, as their father must have died early, married 30 March 1662, by Bond, but one record says 17 April Mehitable Dimick, daughter probably of Thomas Dimick of Barnstable, had Richard, born 30 March 1663, who died before his father; Ephraim, 9 October 1664, died in few months; Shubael, 19 December 1663, who perished with cold in confinement, as insane, after marriage and having two children before the death of his father; Mehitable; Experience, 26 February 1670; Abigail, 16 June 1672; Ebenezer and Hannah, twins 10 November 1674, of which the son died soon; and his wife died 18 August 1676. He married 16 January 1679, Hannah Train, youngest daughter of the first John Train, had Joshua, 30 December 1682; Margaret; John, 16 May 1687; and Rebecca, 4 February 1694.

RICHARD CHILD, or RICHARD CHILDS, Barnstable, perhaps son of Richard Child the first, married Elizabeth Crocker, daughter of John Crocker, who died 15 January 1716, had Samuel, born 6 November 1679, died in few years; Elizabeth, 23 January 1681, died soon; Thomas, 10 January 1682, baptized 6 April 1684, the same day with Samuel and their father; Hannah, born 22 January 1684; Timothy, 22 September 1686; Ebenezer, March 1691; Elizabeth, again, 6 June 1692; James, 6, baptized 18 November 1694; Mercy, 7, baptized 16 May 1697; Joseph, 5 March 1700; and Thankful, 15 August 1702. He was a Deacon.

ROBERT CHILD, or ROBERT CHILDS, Boston, a physician, came from Northfleet, County Kent, was bred at Corpus Christi College Cambridge, and procured A.B. 1631, A.M. 35, had studied, says Hutchinson I. 145, at Padua, and there, perhaps, had his M.D., may have resided short time at Watertown, united with others of that town in petitioning for the grant of Lancaster; but he was not owned of any land at Watertown. In October 1645 he purchased large tract in Maine, known as the Vines patent, when the proprietor was going to Barbados, but of course he had no purpose to make settlement. See Folsom, 75, 8, and Willis, I. 52. Next year he greatly alarmed the government of Massachusetts by a petitition for enlargement of privileges, who by Drake, 292, is oddly ascribed to Episcopalians, as if that depressed party could gain any thing from the triumphant Presbyterians in Parliament, our General Court in November thereupon issued a Declaration, strangely undignified against him and his associates. Part of the denunciation against Child is that he was a bachelor. Few state papers will afford so much amusement. See Hutchinson Collections 211, also Winslow's New England Salamander Discovery and Winthrop History II. 291. In 1647 he went home, and did not come back. Of this name, including that of Childs (who though differences can by no means be distinguished in old records). Farmer saw the graduates in 1828, were, at Harvard five; Yale, four; and only three at all the other New England colleges.

THOMAS CHILLINGWORTH, THOMAS CHILLINGSWORTH, sometimes THOMAS SHILLINGSWORTH, Lynn, removed 1637, to Sandwich, thence to Marshfield, of which he was Representative 1648, and 52, died early next year. His widow Jane married 17 August 1654, Thomas Dagget; daughter Sarah was second wife of Samuel Sprague; Mary married John Foster; another daughter was Mehitable, who married 20 May 1661, Justus Eames; and his only other child Elizabeth, died 28 September 1655.

JOHN CHILSON, or JOHN CHILSTONE, Lynn, married 28 July 1667, Sarah Jenks, daughter of the first Joseph Jenks, had Joseph, born 31 August 1670; and Sarah, 4 August 1673.

JAMES CHILSON, a passenger in the Mayflower, died at Cape Cod, 8 December 1620, after signing the immortal compact, and his wife died soon after landing. His daughter Mary, who accompied her father and mother, has by vain tradition been made the first to leap on Plymouth rock, as that honor is, also, assigned to John Alden, when we know it is not due to either, married John Winslow, and in 1650, Bradford says, she had nine children of which one was married and had a child. She died 1679, but another daughter of Chilson was left by him in England where she married and came to our country.

CHINERY. See GENERY, and observed that the name of his wife there given correctly is misprinted in Genealogical Registrar XIII. 217.

GEORGE CHINN, GEORGE CHINE, or GEORGE CHING, Salem 1638, on Marblehead side 1648.

JOHN CHIPMAN, Barnstable had been at Plymouth or Yarmouth a few years before 1650, and may have resided at other towns, since he said, 8 February 2, it was 21 years ago that he came from England, and was now about 37 years old. So that it seems probable he came with Allerton in the White Angel, or in the Friendship, that had sailed at the same time, from Barnstaple, in Devonshire, but had put back, and so reached here a few days later. He married Hope Howland, second daughter of John Howland, had Elizabeth, born 24 June 1617 at Plymouth, baptized at Barnstable 18 August 1650, besides one or two more, for he speaks of more than one before Hope, 13 August baptized 5 September 1652; Lydia, born 25 December 1654; John, 2 March 1657, died in 3 months; Hannah, 14 January 1659; Samuel, 1 April 1662; Ruth, December 1663; Bethia, 1 July 1666; Mercy, 6 February 1668; John, again, 3 March 1670; and Desire, 26 February 1673. His father Thomas Chipman had good estate near Dorchester in County Dorset. He was long Ruling Elder, and Representative 1663 to 9 every year except 7, and died 8 January 1684. Elizabeth married Hosea Joyce of Yarmouth; Hope married 10 August 1670, John Huckens, and died 10 November 1678; Lydia married John Sargent of Malden; Hannah married 1 May 1680, Thomas Huckens, and died 4 November 1696.

JOHN CHIPMAN, Barnstable, son of the preceding, had John, who died young; James, born 18 December 1694; John, again, 18 September 1697; Mary and Bethia, twins 11 December 1699; Perez, 28 September 1702; Deborah, 6 December 1704; Stephen and Lydia, twins 9 June 1708; and Ebenezer, 13 November 1709; all by first wife, and by second wife whose name is unknown as well as the former's, had Hendley, 31 August 1717; and Rebecca, 10 November 1719. John, Mary, Bethia, Stephen, Lydia, and Ebenezer were baptized on 18 May 1716, so that other children of the first wife may probably have died.

SAMUEL CHIPMAN, Barnstable, brother of the preceding, married 27 December 1686, Sarah Cobb, daughter of Henly Cobb, or James Cobb, but of which is not told, had Thomas, born 17 November 1687; Samuel, 6 August 1689; both baptized 30 August 1691, and, also, at the same time was baptized John Chipman, born 16 February 1691, Harvard College 1711, minister of Beverly, who died 23 March 1775; Joseph, baptized March 1692, probably 6, certainly not (as tradition gives) 4; Mary, 5 June 1692; Jacob, born 30 August baptized 6 October 1695; Seth, 24 February baptized 4 April 1697; Hannah, born 24 September 1699; Sarah, 1 November 1701; and Barnabas, 24 March baptized 26 April 1702; and died 1703. His widow survived to 8 January 1742. Three errors are observed in an affectionate writer's first three lines in Genealogical Registrar VI. 272, where he makes Reverend John Chipman to be son of that John Chipman who married Hope Howland; and is here seen to be grandson, and makes Elizabeth, her mother to be daughter of Carver, instead of Tilley (but that was the common error ten years ago); and also makes Bethia to be his sister when she was his aunt. Of this name, in 1834, were five graduates at Harvard, one at Yale, and two at Dartmouth.

EDMUND CHIPPERFIELD, New Haven 1639, in abbreviated form on London custom house record (as well as that of New Haven often), Chipfield, was passenger in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, from London in the autumn, 1635, aged 20, a brickmaker, and died 1648.

HENRY CHITTENDEN, Scituate 1651, son of Thomas Chittenden, born in England. Had Joseph, born 1657, besides Susanna, Elizabeth, and Ruth, and about 1713, leaving daughter Elizabeth, executrix of his will, in which he devised to Nathaniel, son of Joseph Chittenden, born 1694, the lands at Cohasset, and mentioned other grandchildren Mary Morton, Ruth Stetson, and Alithea, perhaps sister of Nathaniel.

ISAAC CHITTENDEN, Scituate, elder brother of the preceding, came with his father, married April 1646, Mary Vinal, eldest daughter of widow Ann Vinal, had Sarah and Rebecca, twins born 25 February 1647; Mary, 17 August 1648; Israel, 10 October 1651; Stephen, 5 November 1654; Elizabeth, 9 September 1658; and Isaac, 30 September 1663; besides Benjamin, without date of birth but known to have come before the last, perhaps even earlier, for he was married though without issue, when he fell, as a soldier under Captain Michael Pierce, 26 March 1676, in that hard Rehoboth fight, when Canonchet took wild compensation for the cruelty of our New England powers to his father Miantonomi, the saddest example of judicial blindness in our first generation. He was Representative 1658, often after, and was killed 20 May following the loss of his son when the Indians assaulted the town. Sarah married 1666, Captain Anthony Collamore.

ISRAEL CHITTENDEN, Scituate, son of the preceding, married 1678, Deborah Baker, daughter of Reverend Nicholas Baker, had Nicholas, born 1678; Isaac, 1681; and Israel, 1690; in which year he was Lieutenant in the sad expedition of Phips, when Sylvester, Captain John Stetson, Ensign of his Company were lost.

JOHN CHITTENDEN, Guilford, youngest son of William Chittenden, married 12 December 1665, Hannah Fletcher, daughter of John Fletcher, had John, born 19 October 1666; Elizabeth, 26 January 1669; Joseph, 26 March 1672; Gideon, 23 September 1678, died young; Abel, 14 May 1681; and Lydia, 30 March 1684; and died April 1717.

NATHANIEL CHITTENDEN, Guilford, brother of the preceding, by wife Sarah, had Nathaniel, born 1 August 1669; Sarah, 2 March 1672; Mary, 16 February 1675; Joseph, 6 September 1677; Hannah, 15 March 1679, or 80; Deborah, 15 October 1682, died at 2 years; and Cornelius, 1685; and died June 1690.

STEPHEN CHITTENDEN, Scituate, brother of Isaac Chittenden, married 1679, Mehitable Bush, daughter of Isaac Bush, had Thomas, born 1683; and perhaps other children.

THOMAS CHITTENDEN, Scituate, a linen-weaver from some part of County Kent, it is said, came from London in the Increase, 1635, aged 51, with wife Rebecca, 40, and those children before mentioned, Isaac, 14; and Henry, 6; united with his wife 12 February 1637, to Lothrop's church, had grant of house lot, 1638, on Kent street. He died 1668, and his will was of 7 October, inventory 9 November of that year.

THOMAS CHITTENDEN, Guilford, eldest son of William Chittenden, married Joanna Jordan, perhaps daughter of John Jordan, had Samuel, born 20 September 1664, died unmarried at 30 years; William, 5 October 1666; Joanna, 13 December 1668, died young; Abigail, 5 December 1670; Thomas, 12 January 1673; Mehitable, 1675; and Josiah, 1678; and died October 1683. William and Josiah had progeny, and one (I know not who) was grandfather of Thomas Chittenden, the first Governor of the State of Vermont, whose son Martin Chittenden, Dartmouth College 1789, was also Governor and died about 1840.

WILLIAM CHITTENDEN, Guilford, came from East Guilford, in County Sussex, adjoining Rye, on the British Channel, near the border of Kent, or perhaps from Kent, with wife Joan Sheaffe, daughter of Dr. Jacob Sheaffe of Cranbrook in Kent, and sister of our Jacob Sheaffe, and of the wife of Reverend Henry Whitfield, with whom they came to Boston 1638. He soon went to New Haven, was of the founders of the church at Guilford 1 June 1639, and trustee of the land purchased from the Indians for the settlement. He had been a soldier in the Netherlands, and reached the rank of Major, here was made Lieutenant of the force of New Haven Colony, and a magistrate for the rest of his days, Representative at 27 sessions between 1643 and 61, and died 1 February of this last year. His children were Thomas, Nathaniel, John, Joanna, Elizabeth, and Mary, all born before the record of town begins; Hannah, born 19 November 1649, died next year; Joseph and Hannah, twins 14 April 1632 (of which the son died in few weeks and the daughter died unmarried died at 22 years); and Deborah, 16 December 1653. His widow married 1 May 1663, Abraham Cruttenden, and died 16 August 1668. Elizabeth married 16 June 1637, Thomas Wright, junior, of Wethersfield, or possibly a differerent Thomas Wright; Mary married 4 October 1670, John Leete, eldest son of the Governor.

BENJAMIN CHOATE, Kingston, an offshoot from Exeter, was probably youngest son of the first John Choate, and after leaving college was employed in that new settlement in preaching several years before 1723, but was never ordained nor does the catalogue give the year of his death. No church was gathered at Kingston before 1725.

JOHN CHOATE, Ipswich 1648, was then 24 years old, and is first mentioned as contributor for instructions in the military axt; by wife Ann, had John, born 15 June 1661; Samuel; Mary, 16 June 1666; Thomas; Sarah; Margaret; Joseph; and probably Benjamin Choate, Harvard College 1703. He came, probably from Sudbury, County Suffolk on the border of Essex, not far from the home of our first Governor Winthrop. Perhaps he was son of that goodman Choate who in June 1633 sent his regards to the Governor as conveyed by Reverend Henry Jacie in a valuable letter of that date to the younger John. He was Sergeant and died 4 December 1695. His widow died 16 February 1727. Sarah married 13 April 1693, John Burnham; and Margaret married Abraham Fitts, and died 28 February 1692.

JOHN CHOATE, Ipswich, son of the preceding, had four wives, married first, 7 July 1684, Elizabeth Graves, second Elizabeth Giddings, and, third, in 1723, Sarah Perkins, who died 17 November 1728; but when the first, or second died, or when the second was married or who was mother of the second child, the loss of record forbids us to know. His children were Dorothy; John, born May 1688; Robert, April 1691; Ebenezer, January 1695; Nehemiah, July 1697; Benjamin, about November 1698, who died November 1716; Humphrey, November 1701; and Sarah. The fourth wife Prudence Marshall, died 9 June 1732; and he died 11 July 1733. He was Deacon of the new church gathered 6 September 1681, when Reverend John Wise, the great asserter of congregational freedom, was made pastor at the parish called Chebacco.

JOSEPH CHOATE, Ipswich, brother of the preceding, had in 1702 wife Rebecca, but no more is known.

SAMUEL CHOATE, Ipswich, brother of the preceding, married 25 November 1688, Mary Williams, daughter of Stephen Williams of Roxbury, but of him no more is told in the family register except that he died about 1713.

THOMAS CHOATE, Ipswich, brother of the preceding, married Mary Varney, perhaps daughter of Thomas Varney of the same, had Ann, born May 1691; Thomas, 7 June 1693; Mary, 18 March 1695; John, July 1697; Abigail, 25 October 1699; Francis, 13 September 1701; Rachel, 8 November 1703; Ebenezer, March 1706; and Sarah, 24 July 1708. His wife died 19 November 1733; and for second wife he had Mary, widow of Joseph Caleb; and he married 9 November 1743, for third wife the widow Hannah Burnham, and made his will next month. Of this name in 1829 were five graduates at Harvard, and one at Dartmouth, Honorable Rufus Choate, class of 1819, Massachusetts Senator of United States the eloquent advocate, who died last summer. He descends from Francis Choate, son of Thomas Choate, who was son of John Choate, the first comer.

CHRISTOPER CHRISTOPHERS, New London 1667, mariner, of Devonshire, brought from Barbados wife Mary, and children Richard, John, and Mary. His wife died 13 July 1676, aged 54, and he married Elizabeth Brewster, widow of Peter Bradley, daughter of Jonathan Brewster, and died 23 or 25 July 1687, aged 55, if the gravestone which makes his age ten years less than that of his wife be correct. Perhaps the best change would be that on the wife's stone, as she might well be thought younger; but the evidence is strong, that the inequality was real, and she felt her disadvantage.

CHRISTOPHER CHRISTOPHERS, New London, eldest son of Richard Christophers of the same, was Judge of the County Court and an Assistant, by wife Sarah, had Peter, born 28 August 1713, died in two days; Mary, 14 August 1714; John, 27 February 1719; Lucretia, 24 June 1721; Lydia, 21 June 1723, died in few days; and Margaret, 7 March 1725, died in few months; and he died 5 February 1729.

JEFFREY CHRISTOPHERS, New London, brother of Christopher Christophers the first, came about the same time with him, had daughters Margaret, Joanna, and another, besides only son Jeffrey, who married and died 1690, of smallpox, with his wife within three weeks leaving no children. He was called 55 years old in 1676, and removed in old age with the two daughters living in 1700 at Southold, Long Island. Margaret married Abraham Coney; Joanna married 25 December 1676, John Mayhew of New London; and the other daughter married a Packer of Southold.

JOHN CHRISTOPHERS, New London, mariner, younger son of Christopher Christophers the first, married 28 July 1696, Elizabeth Mulford, perhaps daughter of John Mulford, and died at, Barbados, 3 February 1703, leaving widow and four childrten. His widow married 21 October 1706, John Picket.

RICHARD CHRISTOPHERS, New London, elder brother of the preceding, born says a family register 13 July 1662, at Cherton Ferrers, Torbay, Devonshire, about 6 miles from Dartmouth, married 26 January 1682, Lucretia Bradlee, daughter of Peter Bradlee, whose mother married her father, had Christopher Christophers, before mentioned born 2 December 1683, Harvard College 1702; Richard, 18 August 1685; Peter, 18 July 1687; and John, 15 March 1690; the last two of which died unmarried. His wife died 7 January 1691, and he married 3 September following Grace Turner of Scituate, perhaps daughter of John Turner, by whom he had Joseph, 14 July 1692; Mary, 18 September 1694; Jonathan, 19 September 1696; Grace, 14 October 1698; Lydia, 10 August 1701; Ruth, 26 September 1705; Joanna, 19 March 1707; and more children, in all fifteen, and died 9 June 1726. The name became extinct at New London a dozen years ago, but descendants in female lines are there.

RICHARD CHRISTOPHERS, Boston, by wife Ann, had Deborah, baptized 30 August 1685; Lydia, born 1, baptized 3 July 1687; and Henry, 6, baptized 18 November 1688; and was a householder in 1695. That he may have been the same as the preceding is an easy conjecture but less probable.

RICHARD CHRISTOPHERS, New London, son of the first Richard Christophers, married 14 August 1710, Elizabeth Saltonstall, eldest daughter of Governor Saltonstall, had Richard, born 29 July 1712; Elizabeth, 13 September 1714; Mary, 17 December 1716; Joseph, 30 November 1722; and Catharine, 2 January 1725.

WENDLOCK CHRISTOPHERSON, Massachusetts about 1660, tried, convicted as a Quaker, and banished. Hutchinson I. 201. Sewel writes the name in his History Christison; and Colony record gives Christianson.

PASCOE CHUBB, Andover. married 29 May 1689, Hannah Faulkner, probably daughter of Edmund Faulkner, was in command of the fort at Pemaquid in July 1696, which he basely, it is said, gave up to the French without firing a gun. Cruelty, besides treachery, to the Indians on 16 February preceding is ascribed to him by Niles, who could aggravate the infamy of the tragedy by the remark " that it was acted on the Lord's day." With our unchristian natives of the forest the remembrance of injury is nearly as strong as their sense of justice, and they totally cut off him, his wife, and family on Tuesday, 23 February 1698. Hutchinson H. 93, 4, 106.

THOMAS CHUBB, Dorchester 1631, was from Crewkerne, County Somerset, bordering on Devon, removed 1636, to Salem, probably that part which became Beverly, and died 17 October 1688, aged 81.

WILLIAM CHUBB, a soldier from an R. part of the Colony, served at Hadley, April 1676.

JOHN CHUBBUCK, Hingham, son of Thomas Chubbuck, married December 1668, Martha Beal, had Thomas, John, Jonathan, and Nathaniel, besides daughters Martha, and Alice, all living with wife when he died of smallpox, 26 November 1690, a Lieutenant in the sad expedition against Quebec. His widow Martha had administration 28 April 1691.

NATHANIEL CHUBBUCK, Hingham, brother of the preceding, married June 1669, widow of John Garnet of Hingham, and his house was burned by the Indians 20 April 1676.

THOMAS CHUBBUCK, Charlestown 1634, by wife Alice, who was administered of the church 3 April 1635, had Nathaniel, baptized 4 May 1635; removed probably next year to Hingham, there was made freeman 1672, and died December 1676, leaving sons Nathaniel, and John, before mentioned, besides daughters Sarah, who married 6 October 1657, Jeremiah Fitch; Rebecca, wife of William Hersey; and Mary, who married 18 February 1663, Thomas Lincoln.

BENJAMIN CHURCH, Little Compton, son of Richard Church, was a carpenter, but much distinguished as Captain in the Indians wars, married 26 December 1667, Alice Southworth, daughter of Constant Southworth of Duxbury, where he lived several years, had Thomas, born 1674; Constant, 12 May 1676; Benjamin; Edward; Charles; Elizabeth, 26 March 1684; and Nathaniel, 1 July 1686, who died young; besides, probably Alice; was in great service for the latter part of Philip's war, and lived some years later at Bristol, of which he was the first Representative at Plymouth 1682-4; in the East war, 1689, and 90, had children, command, and soon after removed to Little Compton, there died 17 January 1718, aged 78, by gravestone. His widow died 5 March 1719, aged 73. Perpetuation of the name was by Thomas, Edward, and Charles. Edward Church was grandfather of that unhappily distinguished Dr. Benjamin Church, Harvard College 1754, whose patriotism, that had been prominent, was corrupted in the early day of our Revolution as is too well known. Full account of this family is given by Baylies, IV. 123-181, in which some error in detail of genealogy may be seen.

CALEB CHURCH, Watertown, probably youngest son of Richard Church, was a millwright, married 16 December 1667, Joanna Sprague, daughter of William Sprague of Hingham, and first settled at Dedham, had Richard, born 26 December 1668, died soon; Ruth; Lydia, 4 July 1671; Caleb, 16 December 1673; Joshua, 12 June 1675; Deborah, who died young; removed to Watertown, and had there Isaac and Rebecca, twins 27 June 1678; and his wife died two weeks after. He was freeman 1690, many years a selectman, and Representative 1713. Bond has not marked his time of death.

CORNELIUS CHURCH, Groton, married 4 June 1670, Mary, whose surname is not known, was of Charlestown 1680, but went back to Groton, and died 2 December 1697.

DAVID CHURCH, Watertown, youngest son of Garrett Church, by wife Mary, had John, baptized 6 November 1687; and Sarah, 6 October 1689; was then an innholder, and probably removed soon after to Marlborough.

EDWARD CHURCH, Norwalk 1654, son of Richard Church of Hartford, born in England 1628, had perhaps been some time before at New Haven, removed to Hatfield, was there Deacon, had eight children or more, of which Mary, born 17 November 1656, married 1679, Philip Russell, as his third wife; Rebecca married 1677, Joseph Selden; and Hepzibah married 16 September 1696, Samuel Spencer.

GARRETT CHURCH, or JARED CHURCH, Watertown 1637, was born 1611, freeman 1649, by wife Sarah, had John, born 10 March 1638; Samuel, 12 June 1640; Sarah, 10 March 1643; Mary, 15 May 1644; Jonathan, 13 December 1646; and David, 1 September 1657.

JOHN CHURCH, Hartford, son of Richard Church of the same, married 27 October 1657, Sarah Beckley, daughter of Richard Beckley, was freeman 1658, and died 1691, then having ten children living according to Hinman, 124 with 258; viz. Richard; Sarah Knight, wife of George; John; Mary Standish; Ruth; Samuel; Ann, aged 18; Elizabeth, 17; Joseph, 15; and Deliverance, 12.

JOHN CHURCH, Dover 1662, at Salisbury married 29 November 1664, Abigail Severance, daughter of John Severance, had Jonathan, born 12 April 1666; John, 12 April 1668; Ebenezer, 25 April 1670; and Abigail, 12 August 1672; was taken by the Indians in the war of 1689, and escaped, but was killed 7 May 1696 by them near his own house. Belknap I. 141.

JOHN CHURCH, Dover, son of the preceding, by wife Mary, had Abigail, born 5 May 1703; John, 1 April 1704; Elizabeth, 2 April 1706; Jonathan, 25 July 1708; and Mary, 4 August 1710. He was killed next year by the Indians.

JOSEPH CHURCH, Hingham, brother probably of Captain Benjamin Church, married December 1660, Mary Tucker, daughter of John Tucker of the same, had, says Genealogical Registrar XI. 154, seven children, but only six, Joseph, John, Deborah, Mary, Elizabeth, and Abigail, have been heard of. He removed to Little Compton, there his wife died 21 March 1710, aged 69, and he died 5 March following in 73rd year.

NATHANIEL CHURCH, Scituate, brother of Benjamin Church, married Sarah Barstow, daughter of William Barstow the first, had Abigail, born 1666; Richard, 1668; Nathaniel, 1670; Alice, 1679; Joseph, 1681; Charles, 1683; and Sarah, 1686. In Genealogical Registrar XI. 154, it is said, that he removed to Virginia, but Deane, 233, 4, leads to different opinion.

RICHARD CHURCH, Plymouth 1633, had, probably come to Massachusetts in the fleet with Winthrop, for he required administration as freeman 19 October 1630, yet did not after take the oath but removed from Weymouth to Plymouth, and was recorded as freeman of that Colony 4 October 1632. He married Elizabeth Warren, daughter of Richard Warren, who probably came with her mother in the Ann 1623; was engaged as a carpenter in building the earliest church ediface at Plymouth, served in the Pequot war, sold his estate at Plymouth in 1649, and was at Charlestown 1653, and for final residence sat down at Hingham. Giving evidence at Sandwich, 25 August 1664, he called himself 56 years old, and he made his will at Hingham 25 December 1668, and died at Dedham a few days after. It provides for widow Elizabeth, and equal portions to all the children without naming them, except that Joseph, on account of his lame hand, should have a double one. To name those children older, is not easy, perhaps not all of them with confidence. Besides Joseph, we know Benjamin, the great soldier, born 1639; Elizabeth, who married 20 January 1658, Caleb Hobart; Richard, who died young; Caleb; Nathaniel; Hannah, baptized 8 August 1647; Abigail, who married 19 December 1666, Samuel Thaxter, and died 25 December 1677; Charles, killed by casuality 30 October 1659; Deborah, born 27 January 1677, who married John Irish, junior, says Winsor, as his second wife (though another author, who gives the date of his marriage May 1708, calls her Priscilla); and perhaps Mary, who died at Duxbury, 30 April 1662.

RICHARD CHURCH, Hartford 1637, an original proprietor whose first residence is unknown. By Cothren, 526, is confused with the preceding, removed about 1660, to Hadley, there died December 1667. His widow Ann died 10 March 1684, aged 83, and, in his will, four children only are named viz. Edward, and John, before mentioned; Mary, who married Isaac Graves, and Samuel; perhaps all born in England.

SAMUEL CHURCH, Hadley, youngest son of the preceding, made freeman of Connecticut 1657, removed to Hadley after marriage with Mary Churchill, perhaps eldest daughter of Josiah Churchill, and died 13 April 1684, leaving eight children. His widow died 1690.

SAMUEL CHURCH, Watertown, elder brother of David Church, married 7 February 1672, Rebecca Shattuck, daughter of William Shattuck, had Rebecca, born 31 December following. Of this name in 1830 were eight graduates at Yale, five at Harvard, and three at Dartmouth.

BENJAMIN CHURCHILL, BENJAMIN CHURCHALL, or BENJAMIN CHURCHELL, Wethersfield, son of Josiah Churchill, by wife Mary, married 1677, who died 30 October 1712, aged 69, had Prudence, born 2 July 1678; and two other children but no more is known.

ELIEZUR CHURCHILL, ELIEZUR CHURCHALL, or ELIEZUR CHURCHELL, Plymouth, son of John Churchill of the same, married 8 February 1688, Mary Dotey, widow I presume, of some grandson of the first Edward Dotey, and had four or five children, but by a former wife, also Mary, had Hannah, born 23 August 1676; Joanna, 25 November 1678; and several of the following though as date of only one is known to me, I must not distinguish which mother bore each, Abigail; Eleazer; Stephen, February 1685; Jedediah; Mary; Elkanah; Nathaniel; Josiah; and Jonathan. His wife died 11 December 1715; and he died 5 March following.

JOHN CHURCHILL, JOHN CHURCHALL, or C JOHN HURCHELL, Plymouth 1643, married 18 December 1644, Hannah Pontus, daughter of William Pontus, had Joseph; Hannah, born 12 November 1649; Eliezur, 20 April 1652; and Mary, 1 August 1654; and he died 1 January 1663. Perhaps both daughters were dead for his nuncupative will names only four children, all sons. To the two before mentioned gives lands at Plymouth and other property to sons John, and William, this last born 1656. His widow married 25 June 1669, Giles Rickard, and died 12 December 1690; but by another report 1 April 1709.

JOHN CHURCHILL, JOHN CHURCHALL, or JOHN CHURCHELL, Plymouth, son perhaps youngest of the preceding, married 28 December 1686, Rebecca Delano, daughter perhaps of Philip Delano the first, had Elizabeth, born 7 October 1687; Rebecca, 29 August 1689; John, 20 December 1691; Sarah, 10 February 1695; and Hannah, 27 April 1697. His wife died 6 April 1709; and he died 1723, aged 67.

JOSEPH CHURCHILL, JOSEPH CHURCHALL, or JOSEPH CHURCHELL, Plymouth, son of the preceding, married 3 June 1672, Sarah Hicks, had John, born 3 or 22 July 1678; Margaret, October 1684; Barnabas, 3 July 1686; and Joseph, January 1692.

JOSEPH CHURCHILL, JOSEPH CHURCHALL, or JOSEPH CHURCHELL, Wethersfield, eldest son of Josiah Churchill of the same, by wife Mary, had there nine children when he died 1 April 1699.

JOSIAH CHURCHILL, JOSIAH CHURCHALL, or JOSIAH CHURCHELL, Wethersfield, married 1638, Elizabeth Foote, daughter of Nathaniel Foote, had Mary, born 24 March 1639; Elizabeth, 15 May 1642; Hannah, 1 November 1644, who probably died before her father, at least is not named in his will; Ann, 1647; Joseph, 2 December 1649; Benjamin, 16 May 1642; and Sarah, 14 November 1657; and he died 1 January 1686, all these children except Hannah, being then living. His widow died 8 September 1700, aged about 84. Elizabeth married 31 October 1660, Henry Buck; Sarah married 11 June 1673, Thomas Wickham of Wethersfield, and from their father’s will, we see that Mary married a Church, perhaps Samuel; and Ann married a Rice.

WILLIAM CHURCHILL, WILLIAM CHURCHALL, or WILLIAM CHURCHELL, Plymouth, son of John Churchill, married 17 January 1684, Lydia Bryant, whose father is unknown to me, had William, born 2 August 1685; Samuel, 15 April 1688; James, 21 September 1690; Lydia, 17 April 1639; and Josiah, 21 August 1702.

HUGH CHURCHMAN, Lynn 1640, died says Lewis, 1644. His will names widow Ambrose, who is unknown to me, his own son Josiah, and daughter Hannah, both minors, and was produced 9 July of that year Ann, perhaps his daughter married at Weymouth, 16 April 1639, John Rogers.

JOHN CHURCHMAN, took the oath of allegiance 22 June 1632, as qualified to come to New England in the Lion, arriving 16 September.

JOSIAH CHURCHWOOD, Wethersfield, had Hannah, who married 9 January 1667, Samuel Royce of New London.

JAMES CHUTE, Ipswich, son of Lionel Chute, born in England, married (as once was thought) a daughter of Honorable Samuel Symonds, who names son Chute in his will. But the meaning of the testator may have been son or son-in-law of Martha Epes, or another of several wives that Symonds had; for such seems, also, the case of Peter Duncan, called son of Symonds, became husband of Mary Epes, who was daughter of Daniel Epes by that Martha, who after was wife of Symonds. By his wife whatever was her name of baptism or whoever was her father, he had James, and removed 1681, to Rowley.

JAMES CHUTE, Rowley, son of the preceding, married 10 November 1673, Mary Wood, possibly daughter of Isaiah Wood, had Elizabeth, born 22 June 1676; Ann, 19 October 1679; Lionel, baptized 3 April 1681; James, 13 June 1686; Thomas, 31 January 1692; Mary, 12 September 1697; besides Martha; Ruth; and Hannah; but the three last are less certain.

LIONEL CHUTE, Ipswich 1639, the earliest schoolmaster there, made his will 4 September 1644, probated 7 November 1645, leaving wife Rose Baker, daughter of Robert Baker, son James, and perhaps no other children. Perhaps he was of a very ancient family or I have seen his genealogy traced back to 1268, before the first King Edward.

WILLIAM CHUZ, Marblehead, is the form, 1664, of spelling one, perhaps of French origin but conjecture may go wild in scrutiny of exactness.

JAMES CLAGHORN, or, as the Colony record spells JAMES CLEAGUEHORNE, Barnstable, an early settler, married 6 January 1654, Abigail Lombard, probably daughter of Thomas Lombard, but may have been his granddaughter, had James, born 29 of the same month as the record tells; Mary, 28 October 1655; Elizabeth, April 1658; Sarah, 3 January 1660; Robert, 27 October 1661; and Shubael. Mary married 28 March 1682, Joseph Davis of Barnstable.

JAMES CLAGHORN, or, as the Colony record spells JAMES CLEAGUEHORNE, Barnstable, son of the preceding, had Thomas, baptized 17 June 1694.

ROBERT CLAGHORN, or, as the Colony record spells ROBERT CLEAGUEHORNE, Barnstable, son of the first James Claghorn, married 6 November 1701, Bethia Lothrop, but whose daughter she was is not known, had Abia, born 13 August 1702; Joseph, 25 August 1704; Nathaniel, 10 November 1707, and Samuel, 23 June 1711.

SHUBAEL CLAGHORN, or, as the Colony record spells SHUBAEL CLEAGUEHORNE, or SHOBAL CLAGHORN, or, as the Colony record spells SHOBAL CLEAGUEHORNE, brother of the preceding, by wife Jane, had James, born August 1689; Thankful, 30 January baptized 29 March 1701, in right of his wife, and died at 6 years; Thomas, 20 March 1693; Shobal, 20 September 1696; Robert, 18 July, baptized 13 August 1699; Benjamin, 14 June, baptized 26 July 1701; Mary, 1707; Jane, 1709; and Ebenezer, 30 July 1712.

AMBROSE CLAP, Dorchester, brother of Nicholas Clap, came, probably in 1636, if he ever came, that is uncertain for no more is ever heard of him, except that he was living in England 1655.

DESIRE CLAP, Dorchester, son of Captain Roger Clap, freeman 1669, married Sarah Pond, perhaps daughter of Robert Pond the second, but the Reverend Mr. Danforth had written long after, on the paper that mentioned baptism of Sarah, 6 February 1642, that she married Ezra Clap, thus mistaken her for her sister. He had William, born 9 October 1680, died young; Desire, 6 March 1682, died young; Experience, 30 November 1683; Sarah, 25 March 1686; Preserved, a daughter 8 August 1688; Desire, again, and William, again, twins 13 August 1694, of who Desire died in few days, but William lived 49 years, was married and died without children, closing the male line of Captain Roger Clap in this branch, besides other twins Roger and Daniel, 24 May 1697, who both died soon; and Judith, whose date of birth is not known, who married Ephraim Payson, probably as his second wife, but the date of marriage is also unknown. His wife died 4 January 1716, aged 63; and he married 27 December following widow Deborah Smith of Boston, and died December 1717.

EBENEZER CLAP, Dorchester, son of Nicholas Clap, freeman 1669, one of the founders of the church in Milton 1678. Of his first wife Elizabeth, we know not the surname, but she died 20 December 1701, aged 57; and for the second he married 11 November 1702, Elizabeth Dickerman, and by neither had any children. He died 31 July 1712, and his widow married Edward Dorr of Roxbury.

EDWARD CLAP, Dorchester, brother of Captain Roger Clap, came in 1633, and was made freeman 7 December 1636, selectman 1637, Deacon 25 or 6 years, by first wife Prudence, sister of Ambrose, John, Nicholas Richard, and Thomas Clap, had Elizabeth, born 1634; Prudence, 28 December 1637 Ezra, 22, baptized 24 May 1640; Nehemiah, about September 1646; and Susanna, November 1648; and by second wife Susanna, had Esther, July 1656; Abigail 27 April 1659; Joshua, 12 May 1661; and Jonathan, 23 March 1664, but the last three died young. He died 8 January 1665; and his widow died 16 June 1688. Elizabeth married January 1652 (not 42 years later, as in Genealogical Registrar IX. 177, when she died), James Blake; Prudence married February 1661, Simon Peck of Hingham, as his second wife; and Esther married 19 June 1684, Samuel Strong, of Northampton.

ELIJAH CLAP, Scituate, was a witness, 1662, to the will of Joseph Wormall. Perhaps, as no more is heard of him, he was only transient visitor.

EZRA CLAP Dorchester, eldest son of Edward Clap, freeman 1666, by first wife Abigail Pond sister I suppose, of the wife of his cousin Desire, had Mary, born 26 April 1667; Edward, September 1672, who was lost in Phips's crusade, 1690, against Quebec; Ezra, 29 January 1674, who died 10 April 1691; Abigail, 1675, Sarah, 20 July 1677; Judith, 6 May 1680; and Elizabeth, 1 October 1682. His wife died 13 October 1682, and he married 22 May 1684, Experience Houghton, daughter of Ralph Houghton of Lancaster, had William, July 1685; Jane, 12 March 1687; Nehemiah; Ezra, again, 18 March 1693; Ebenezer, 3 February 1697 Esther, 10 February 1699; and Susanna, 7 March 1702. He owned much land in that part of Dorchester which had became Milton, and there his wife died 17 December 1717, and he died 23 of next month.

HOPESTILL CLAP, Dorchester, son of Roger Clap, freeman 1678, married 18 April 1672, Susanna Swift, daughter of Thomas Swift, had Susanna, born 23 December 1673; Elizabeth, 29 February 1676; Sarah, 13 January 1678; Hopestill, 26 November 1679; Ruth, 10 October 1682; Mary, 22 September 1685, died soon; Supply, 25 October 1686, died in few weeks; Jerijah, or Jarizah, 15 February 1689, died soon; Unite, 2 October 1690, died soon; was Ruling Elder, and 2 September 1719. Of the eight children Hopestill alone could have preserved the male line in this branch of Captain Roger's descendants but, though he lived to 2 December 1739, and was Deacon 36 years, he never was married.

INCREASE CLAP, Barnstable, married October 1675, Elizabeth, widow of Nathaniel Goodspeed, had John, born October 1676; Charity, March 1678; Benjamin; Thomas, January 1681, died in two years; and Thomas, again, October 1684, baptized March following.

JOHN CLAP, Dorchester 1636, brother of Nicholas Clap, freeman 1647, had wife Joan, no children and died 14 or 24 July 1655. His will of 11 of that month explains the family much; and the widow married next year John Ellis of Medfield.

NATHANIEL CLAP, Dorchester, elder son of Nicholas Clap, married 31 March 1668, Elizabeth Smith, had Nathaniel Clap, 20 January 1669, Harvard College 1690; John, 7 April 1671; Jonathan, 31 August 1673; Elizabeth, 22 May 1676; Ebenezer, 25 October 1678; and Mehitable, 30 August 1684, who died young. He was freeman 1660, so that we see, as in the case of Cotton Mather, that minors might be administered if they had standing in the church to the privilege of citizens. He died 16 May 1707; and his widow died 12 or 19 September 1722, aged 74.

NEHEMIAH CLAP, Dorchester, son of Edward Clap, married 17 April 1678, Sarah Leavitt, daughter of John Leavitt of Hingham, had Edward, born 20 December following, died soon; Edward, again, 9 December 1680; Submit, 2 August 1683, a daughter; and perhaps others; was freeman 1683, and died 2 April 1684. His widow married Samuel Howe.

NICHOLAS CLAP, Dorchester 1636, son of Richard Clap, born in England, married his cousin Sarah Clap, sister of Edward Clap, had Sarah, born 31 December 1637, perhaps died young; Nathaniel, 15 September 1640; Ebenezer, July 1643, baptized 17 March 1644; and Hannah, born 1646; and by second wife Abigail, widow of Robert Sharp, had Noah, born 15 July 1667; and Sarah, again, baptized 11 December 1670. He was Deacon and died 24 November 1679. Hannah married 14 October 1668, Ebenezer Strong of Northampton.

NOAH CLAP, Sudbury, youngest son of the preceding, by first wife had Ann, born 10 September 1691; Sarah, 30 April 1693; Mary, 20 September 1695; and by another wife had Elias, 14 June 1709; and Noah; both died young. He was town clerk and died 1753.

PRESERVED CLAP, Northampton, son of Roger Clap, married 1668, Sarah Newberry, daughter of Benjamin Newberry of Windsor, had Sarah, born 1668, died young; Wait, 1670; Mary, 1672, died at 19 years; Preserved, 1675; Samuel, 1677; Hannah, 1681; Roger, 1684; and Thomas, 1688; was freeman 1690, Captain and Ruling Elder, and died September 1720.

RICHARD CLAP, Dorchester 1636, if he ever came, brother of Nicholas Clap, had Richard, Elizabeth, and Deborah, as named in the will of their uncle John Clap, when father was in England.

ROBERT CLAP, Boston 1687, may have been short time at Dorchester in 1660, at Boston had wife Mary, and three children of which one was Robert, a sea Captain who died on a voyage. He came, it is said, from Littleham, County Devon, a mile and a half east of Exmouth, but was not, probably a near relative of the Dorchester tribe.

ROGER CLAP, Dorchester 1630, came in the Mary and John, from Plymouth, 20 March 1630, was born at Salcomb Regis, on the coast of Devonshire 6 April 1609, the youngest of five sons, and arriving at Nantasket, 30 May, with his Reverend friends Maverick and Warham, married 6 November 1633, Joanna Ford, daughter of Thomas Ford, a fellow-passenger. Had ten sons and four daughters: Samuel, born 11 October 1634; William, 2 July 1636, died at 2 years; Elizabeth, 22 June 1638; Experience, 23 August 1640, died in few weeks; Waitstill, a son 22 October 1641, died under 2 years; Preserved, 23 November 1643; Experience, again, December 1645, died young; Hopestill, 6 November 1647; Wait, a daughter 17 March 1649; Thanks, July 1651, died young; Desire, 17 October 1652; Thomas, April 1655, died young; Unite, 13 October 1656; and Supply, about 1661, who died unmarried 5 March 1686, by the bursting of a gun on Castle Island. He was Artillery Company 1646, its Lieutenant 1655, Captain of the castle 1665 on death of Davenport, in which post he continued until usurption of Andros, when he relinquished it, Representative many years between 1652 and 1673, and died 2 February 1692, of course in 83rd not, as Sewall writes, in 86th year. His widow died 29 June 1695, aged 78. Clap's Memoirs are quite interesting and may be read, as reprinted in Young's Chronicles of Massachusetts. His daughter Elizabeth married Joseph Holmes of Roxbury; and Wait married Jonathan Simpson of Charlestown, and died 3 May 1717.

SAMUEL CLAP, Dorchester, eldest son of the preceding, married 18 November 1659, Hannah Leeds, only daughter of Richard Leeds, had Samuel, born 22 February 1662, died at six years; John, 16 June 1664, died at one year; Hannah, 28 September 1666, died at 12 years; Samuel, again, 6 August 1668, a Lieutenant who died 30 January 1725; Experience, 8 July 1670, died at one year; Unite, 6 December 1672, died at two years; Return, 11 May 1675, died next year; John, again, 8 May 1677, died unmarried at 24 years; Elizabeth, 11 February 1680; and Hannah, again, 13 September 1681. He was Captain Ruling elder, Representative 1689, 90, 1, 5, 7, 9, and selectman many years, and died 16 October 1708, of grief for loss of his wife aged 68, eight days before.

SAMUEL CLAP, Scituate, son of Thomas Clap, married June 1666; Hannah Gill, daughter of Thomas Gill, had Samuel, born 15 May 1667; Joseph, 14 December 1668; Stephen, 4 March 1671; Hannah, 15 January 1673; Bethia, 1675; John, 30 September 1677; Abigail, 1 October 1679; David, November 1684; Deborah, February 1687; and Jane, November 1689; was Representative to Plymouth 8 or 9 years and, after the new Charter five more to Boston. Deane, who has not given the time of his death well commemorated many of his descendants. His son Stephen was a Deacon and father of Reverend Thomas Clap, born 26 June 1703, Harvard College 1722, President of Yale College, who died 7 January 1767.

THOMAS CLAP, Weymouth, brother of Ambrose Clap, John Clap, Nicholas Clap, and Richard Clap, born at Dorchester in Dorsetshire, freeman 13 March 1639, had Thomas, born 15 March 1639, baptized at Dedham, 17 or 24 May 1640; removed again to Scituate, there was Deacon 1647, Representative 1649, and had Samuel, Elizabeth, Prudence, Eleazer, who fell in Rehoboth fight, 26 March 1676, unmarried. Of all of children the dates of birth are unknown besides John, 1658, and Abigail, 29 January 1660, who both died young; and died 20 April 1684. His will of that year calls him 87 years old, provides for wife (probably a second one) Abigail, sons Thomas and Samuel, and daughater Elizabeth that had married 1669, Thomas King.

THOMAS CLAP, Dedham, son of the preceding, married 10 November 1662, Mary, daughter of Joshua Fisher, died 1690, leaving widow Mary, and children Thomas, born 26 September following; Joshua, 1667; Mary, 13 December 1669; Eliezer, 4 November 1671; Samuel, 21 August 1682; Abigail; and Hannah, as named in his will; besides John, born February 1663, who died in few days.

WILLIAM CLAP, Dorchester 1664, with suffix of senior, is one of the patriotic petitioners of Dorchester against compliance with demands of the crown, as printed in Genealogical Registrar V. 394. Yet I can hear nothing of him in other affairs of the town, nor whether he had wife and children. Some of these productive stocks add a p to the common name. Ten of this name had been graduates in 1834, at Harvard and all the other New England colleges had made up equal numbers.

PETER CLAPHAM, Norwalk 1672, had been 2 years before at Fairfield, but still at Norwalk 1688; yet it may be some times spelled Clapton, and in the valuable History of Norwalk by Hall, is given, page 61, Lupton, by mistake.

ADAM CLARK, a soldier of Lothrop's Company the flower of Essex, killed at Bloody brook, 18 September 1670.

ANDREW CLARK, Boston, son of Thomas Clark of Plymouth, by wife Mehitable, had Thomas, born 10 July 1672; Susanna, 12 March 1674; and Mehitable, 8 December 1676; removed to Harwich, there had Andrew, Scottow, and Nathaniel.

ARTHUR CLARK, Salem, freeman 13 May 1640, had before been at Hampton, removed 1643 to Boston, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, baptized 17 March 1644, seven days old; and Samuel, 1 November 1646. He died 1665, probably for on 31 October of that year his widow took administration of his small estate in behalf of herself and son.

BRAY CLARK, or BRIAN CLARK, Dorchester 1630, according to Dr. Harris, but first mentioned on town record 1634.

CAREW CLARK, Newport, eldest brother of famous John Clark of the same, was born 3 February 1603, it is said, in County Bedford, had not wife perhaps, certainly no children in our country, to which he is brought in company with his brothers tradition in 1638.

CHRISTOPHER CLARK, Boston 1646, mariner, by wife Rebecca, who joined our church 25 December 1647, had Dorothy, born 6, baptized 20 January 1650; John, born 3 February 1652; Peter, 4, baptized 11 June 1654; Rebecca, born 4 May 1657; Christopher, 19 January baptized 19 February 1660; Daniel, born 10 February as the town record tells, which may be disbelieved as he was baptized 26 January 1662; Elizabeth, born 4 August 1663; and Mary, or Mercy, 1 March 1667. He was freeman 1673, a merchant often voyaging between England and our country, in one of his passengers was in the Speedwell, embarked at London, 30 May, and landed at Boston 27 July 1656. His youngest daughter married 1 December 1686, Stephen Minot.

CHRISTOPHER CLARK, Salem, mariner, lost at sea about 1698, as Felt, II. 244, tells, was, perhaps, son of the preceding.

DANIEL CLARK, Ipswich 1635, Topsfield 1661, had Elizabeth, who married 24 October 1669, William Perkins of the same.

DANIEL CLARK, Windsor, came, 1639, in Company with Reverend Ephraim Huet, by husband he was named executor 1644 of his will, married 13 June of that year Mary Newberry, daughter of Thomas Newberry, had Mary, born 4 April 1645, died young; Josiah, 21 January 1649; Elizabeth, 28 October 1651; Daniel, 10 April (as Goodwin says), or 14 April 1654, as another record reads; John, 10 April 1656; Mary, again, 22 September 1658; Samuel, 6 July 1661; Sarah, 7 August 1663; Hannah, 25 or 29 August 1665, died soon; and Nathaniel, 8 September 1666, who was killed by the Indians unmarried 1690. His wife died 29 August 1688, and his second wife Martha Pitkin, sister of William Pitkin, widow of Simon Wolcott, and mother of Roger Clark, Governor of the Colony, died 13 October 1719. He was Representative 1657-61, Secretary of the Colony 1638-63, Assistant 1662-4, Captain of the cavalry troop 1664, and at his death 12 August 1710, aged 87, left Josiah, Elizabeth, Daniel, John, Mary, Samuel, and Sarah. Elizabeth married 25 November 1669, Moses Cooke of Northampton, and, next, 13 September 1677, Job Drake of Windsor; Mary married 13 December 1683, John Gaylord, junior (if Goodwin is right), when she would have been 25 years old, and he less than 17; and she next married about 1700, Jedediah Watson, and died 14 April 1738; and Sarah married about 1685, Isaac Pinney, and had a second husband.

DANIEL CLARK, Hartford, son of the preceding, married 1678, Hannah Pratt, daughter of Daniel Pratt, had Daniel, born 1679; Moses, 1683; John, 1685; perhaps all at Windsor, but at Hartford had Aaron, baptized 13 November 1687; Nathaniel, 26 March 1693; Abraham, 10 November 1695; and Noah, 25 April 1697; and after 1710 he removed to Colchester.

EDMUND CLARK, Gloucester 1650, was town clerk 1656-65, by wife Agnes, had Abigail; John; and Joseph, born 16 November 1650; and died 26 February 1667. His widow married 15 June 1668, Thomas Penny. Abigail married William Sargent, and died 8 March 1711, aged 79.

EDWARD CLARK, Haverhill 1646, perhaps married a daughter of Walter Tibbets of Gloucester, who calls him son-in-law, names John and Joseph, probably sons, was a carpenter, and may have been in 1652 of Kennebunk, made freeman of Massachusetts 1653, and probably in 1663 removed to New Hampshire. But the true baptized name, as by History Collections of Essex Inst. I. 9, is proven, was Edmund, the same person as the preceding.

EDWARD CLARK of Haverhill, perhaps son of the preceding, took oath of allegiance 28 November 1677.

GEORGE CLARK, Plymouth, married 22 January 1639, Alice Martin, who after his death married 5 December 1644, Richard Bishop, and in 1648, was hanged for murder of Martha, daughter of George, who was not his only child for in May 1649, the record shows provision for his daughter Abigail.

GEORGE CLARK, Milford 1639, husbandman, had only son John (executor of his father’s will, who died 1693, unmarried), and six daughters, and died 1690, leaving good estate in his will of 25 April. Probably 20 June of that year named daughter Sarah, then widow of the famous Captain Joseph Sill, but had first been widow of Reynold Martin, as also five children of her by Marvin. Other daughters were Hannah, who married John Platt of Norwalk; Abigail married Reverend Abraham Pierson; Ruth married Robert Plumb; Rebecca married John Brown; and Mary married Samuel Clark. Their father owned estate in England, had brothers there, John, Daniel and Edward.

GEORGE CLARK, Milford, a contemporary of the preceding, was called carpenter for distinction, and this is all I know of him.

GEORGE CLARK, Milford, was Deacon, often Representative 1668 to 76, had Thomas, George, Samuel, and Sarah, who married Jonathan Law.

GEORGE CLARK, Roxbury, was a fellmonger, inhabitant of Boston before 1695, died 3 September 1696, leaving good estate, gives by his will, probated 15 October following, to wife Ann, eldest son George, to youngest daughter Elizabeth £200, eldest daughter Mary in England £40, son Richard, daughter Martha, wife of William Hannah, £60, and made her husband executor. But when, or where these children were born or who was his wife are unknown matters. Yet perhaps the Boston record mentioned him as marrying 3 February 1690, Ann Lutterell.

HENRY CLARK, Windsor 1640, Representative 1641-50; Assistant 1650-61, removed to Hadley, there died 23 December 1675. His wife Jane had died 1672, and as he had no children, he gave most of his estate to relatives. But good proported to public use, as school at Hadley and to Harvard college.

HENRY CLARK, Newbury, son of Nathaniel Clark, married 7 November 1695, Elizabeth Greenleaf, daughter of Stephen Greenleaf, had Stephen, born 21 February 1697; Henry, 21 November 1698; Judith, 15 August 1700; and Sarah, 7 May 1702.

HUGH CLARK, Watertown 1640, by wife Elizabeth, had John, born 13 October 1641; Uriah, 5 June 1644; and Elizabeth, 31 January 1648; owned estate in Cambridge, but removed to Roxbury 1657; was freeman 1660, Artillery Company 1666. His wife died 11 December 1692; and he died 20 July following about 80 years old. Elizabeth married Joseph Buckminster.

ISAAC CLARK, Falmouth, son of Thaddeus Clark, was taken by the French and Indians 1690, carried to Canada, after returning removed to Marlborough, married Sarah Stow, perhaps daughter of Samuel Stow, had Martha, who died at Grafton, 1794, aged, it is said, near 100; Sarah, born 5 August 1701; Mary, 31 December 1705; Matthias; Jonathan, died young; Isaac, 25 March 1709; Jonathan, again, 1712; Rebecca, 30 September 1716. His wife died 17 May 1761, in 88th year and he died 26 May 1768, perhaps at full 100.

JAMES CLARK, New Haven 1639, formed with Governor Eaton and company the civil compact 4 June, had Ebenezer, born perhaps, 29 November 1651; Susan, 1652; Samuel; James; and Mary; but removed before 1669 to Stratford, and may have had children at both places. His wife was Deborah Peacock, daughter of John Peacock. Perhaps she was mother of all the children but he had 17 October 1661, married Ann, widow of John Wakefield.

JAMES CLARK, Plymouth, son of Thomas Clark, married 7 October 1657, Abigail Lothrop, youngest daughter of Reverend John Lothrop.

JAMES CLARK, Boston, but called sometimes of Roxbury, because he attended church there, lived at Muddy River, by wife Elinor, in church record miscalled Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, and Mary, who we may suppose were baptized 18 January 1646, if the town record were authority instead of the record of church in which no such thing is found; Martha, born 25 April 1648; Hannah, 23 December 1649; James, baptized 11 April 1652; Samuel, 9 April 1654; John, 23 March 1656; Abigail, 21 March 1658; Mercy, 2 September 1660; Aaron, 1 March 1663; besides one daughter that married Walter Morse, as we learn from the will of her father provided for, but not naming her. He died 18 December 1674.

JAMES CLARK, New Haven, son of James Clark the first, was administered freeman 1660, at Stratford, had James, born 12 February 1665; Sarah, 11 January 1667; John, 17 March 1669; Phebe, 15 January July 1675; Isaac, 9 January 1678, died soon; Isaac, again, 25 September 1679; and Mary, 10 January 1687.

JAMES CLARK, Newport, youngest son of the Honorable Jeremiah Clark, married Hope Power, daughter of Nicholas Power of Providence, had Hope, born 29 December 1673; and Jonathan, about 1681. He was a preacher but I know no more of him except that he died 7 December 1736, aged 87.

JAMES CLARK, Roxbury, son of James Clark before mentioned, married 27 April 1681, Hannah Heath, daughter of Peleg Heath, had James, born 4 February 1682. His wife died 30 May 1683, and he removed to Cambridge, married 24 September 1685, Sarah Champney, daughter of Samuel Champney, had Sarah, born next year who died at 21 years; Ebenezer, died soon; Mercy, 18 December 1690; Abigail, 31 May 1703; but between the last two probably came Rachel and Benjamin, yet precise dates can hardly be found, as records fail in this space of time.

JEREMIAH CLARK, Newport 1640, had been at Portsmouth, on the upper end of the Island 1638, before Newport was settled, was first constable of the town, Treasurer of the Colony 1647, and Assistant 1648, when he was chief officer. He was not, as often said, brother nor even any known relative of John Clark, the well reputable father of the Colony, and died January 1652, leaving five sons Walter, born about 1639; Jeremiah; Latham; Weston, 2 July 1648; James, 1649; besides four daughters of which probably two were older than Walter, Frances, who married Randall Holden; and another the first wife of James Barker; Mary, born 1641, who married Governor John Cranston, and, next, John Stanton, and died 7 April 1701; and Sarah, 1651, who perhaps was second wife of Peter Carr.

JEREMIAH CLARK, Newport, son of the preceding, married says the family genealogist Ann Audley. She may have been Hannah Odlyn, daughter of John Odlyn of Boston, who had much sympathy with the Rhode Island first settlers, as having with most of them been ill treated by the government of Massachusetts in November 1637, for their errors in religious dogmas. To each of his children: Susanna, Henry, James, Samuel, Weston, Frances, Mary, Ann, and Sarah are supplied wives or husbands respectively by the family document, but without names appended.

JOHN CLARK, Cambridge, freeman 6 November 1632, removed 1636, to Hartford with Hooker, thence, perhaps, to Milford, where his daughter Elizabeth married William Pratt of Hartford.

JOHN CLARK, Boston, came, perhaps, with John Winthrop junior, in the Lion 1631, joined the church early, only seven names on the venerable copy of the roll (some years before the first date of original record of our first church) intervened between the son of the Governor and this, and with him removed 1633, from Boston to plant the town of Ipswich.

JOHN CLARK, New Haven 1639, that year united with first settlers in foundation of government. He may have come in the Elizabeth to Boston from Ipswich in County Suffolk 1634, aged 22; and was made clerk of the military company February 1648; had John, born 1637; Samuel, 1639, both baptized at New Hampshire 1640, Mary, who as Porter says, married William Chatterton; and Esther 1 March 1646. His inventory was of 13 May 1648.

JOHN CLARK, Newport, the distinguished author of "Ill News from New England" a physician, came first, he says, to Boston in November 1637, thence driven the next year as a favorite of Mrs. Hutchinson, went to Rhode Island, and is venerably as father of the settlement at Newport. By family records he was of Bedfordshire, third son of Thomas Clark and Rose, born 8 October 1609; became Treasurer of the Colony 1649, and was sent to England two years after to prevail on the Council of State to revoke the extra powers given to Coddington, but on his coming to Boston to embark, was imprisoned 1651. In 1652 he published at London his valuable tract, a narrative of the persecution of his friends here; after long service in England he was made Deputy-Governor of the United Colonies of Rhode Island and Providence Plantation in 1669, and 70, again agent to England but died here 20 April 1676, in his will, made that day, called himself about 66 years old. He names in it two wives, the first a daughter of John Harges of Bedfordshire, and the name of the other is unknown, yet he had no children says Backus, I. 443. By three of his brothers the name has been honorably perpetuated in that province and state.

JOHN CLARK of Newbury 1638, physician, who before coming from England, had married Martha Saltonstall, sister of Sir Richard Saltonstall, was freeman 22 May 1639, and perhaps Representative the same year, removed ten years after to Boston, and was noted in his profession as also for keeping fine horses. He died November 1664, in his will of 26 August preceding, he mentioned widow Martha, made executrix, son John, daughter Jemima, who had married 6 November 1656, Robert Drew of Boston, and the children of Jemima, names John, and Elizabeth. His widow died 19 September 1680, aged 85. Curious confusion is observed in Genealogical Registrar XIII. 14 and 15, where are copies, corrected from probably record Vols. I. and IV. wherein the widow is twice called Martha in the will, yet a few, very few months after the inventory purported to be of her late husband as estate of Mr. John Clark is said to be sworn by Elizabeth. The amount was large, and part of it was stoves for saving fire wood, for which the General Court had given him patent, 1652 and 6 for his life. How much it anticipated Dr. Franklin's, of a hundred years later, I suppose can never be learned but if any one will overcome the above mentioned contradiction between will and inventory by finding the original papers, he will be more happy than my diligent search.

JOHN CLARK, Hartford, an original proprietor, removed to Farmington, there died 22 November 1712, at great age. He had John, who died unmarried 1709; Matthew; Ebenezer, baptized 10 August 1690, died soon; and nine daughters Mary, born about 1667, who married Samuel Huntington; Sarah, wife of Thomas Root; both of Lebanon; Abigail, who married 23 August 1699, Joseph Pisley of Westfield; Rachel, wife of Caleb Jones of Hebron; Elizabeth, widow of Thomas Gridley; Rebecca, wife of Samuel Woodruff; both of Farmington; Martha, wife of Thomas Clark of Milford; Hannah, baptized 4 April 1680, who married Joseph Woodruff of Farmington, and died before her father; and Mercy, then unmarried.

JOHN CLARK, Saybrook 1640, may have before been at Wethersfield, and later at Milford, Representative for Saybrook 1651 to 1664, is named in the Royal Charter of 1662, and was some years Representative for Milford, had sons John; Joseph, who died before his father and perhaps others, besides several daughters, and second wife Mary, widow of John Fletcher; and died 1676.

JOHN CLARK, Springfield, married 1647, Elizabeth Stebbins, daughter of Rowland Stebbins, and died 1684, leaving John; Sarah, born 27 December 1649; and Mary.

JOHN CLARK, Saybrook, perhaps son of the John Clark of Saybrook before mentioned, married 16 October 1650, Rebecca Parker, had Rebecca, born 26 January 1653; John, 17 November 1655; James, 29 September 1657, died at two years, and the father was killed by a cart 21 September 1677. His widow married a Spencer, and died 9 January 1683. Very difficult it may be at Saybrook to arrange all the Johns, for a gravestone at Lyme, the east part, formerly of Saybrook stands over one, who died 1719, aged 82, of who I find not birth. Possibly the numeral may be wrong.

JOHN CLARK, New Haven, son of the first John Clark of the same, married 1 February 1662, Sarah Smith, had Sarah, born 24 December following, died soon; John, 23 January 1663; Samuel, 20 August 1666; Joseph, 27 October 1668; Sarah, again, 24 October 1671; Mary and Abigail, twins 19 July 1674. His wife died six days after, and he married 28 May next, Mary Walker.

JOHN CLARK, New London, removed 1656, perhaps was a carpenter of Norwich 1680, and died 1709, leaving John, and five other children.

JOHN CLARK, Newport, son perhaps of Joseph Clark, married February 1671 Jane Fletcher, had a daughter born 14 February 1672, and the mother died April following, and the child died March 1673.

JOHN CLARK, Boston, mariner and merchant, married Mary Atwater, daughter of Joshua Atwater, had only child Mary, born May 1681. He died of smallpox in Barbary, probably a prisoner, and his widow married 8 October 1694, John Coney, and died 12 April 1726. The daughter married 12 June 1701, Reverend Ebenezer Pemberton, and had two other husbands.

JOHN CLARK, Exeter, called senior when he took oath of fidelity 30 November 1677; but perhaps that was only to distinguish him from another.

JOHN CLARK, called junior who at the same place, on the same day, went through the same formality.

JOHN CLARK, Boston, physician, son of that John Clark who came to Boston from Newbury, perhaps born in England, freeman 1673, was Representative 1689, and 90, and died 17, was buried 19 December 1690. By wife Martha Whittingham, daughter of John Whittingham, not of William Whittingham, had, besides Elizabeth, perhaps the youngest, who was wife of Richard Hubbard, mariner, and, next, married 18 August 1703, Reverend Cotton Mather, as his second wife; John Clark, born 27 January 1668, Harvard College 1687; William, 19 December 1670; Samuel, 10 November 1673, probably died soon; Samuel, again, 10 November 1677. A second wife Elizabeth, whose surname is not heard, unless it were Williams, outlived him but few days, and in her will of 2 January names Nathaniel Williams executor, called him brother which may mean more than child relative, and gives property to Elizabeth (the daughter of her husband by former wife) who was then unmarried.

JOHN CLARK, New Haven, married 1661, Sarah Smith, daughter of George Smith, but may have had second wife Mary, as had one John there 1686.

JOHN CLARK, Springfield, son of John Clark of the same, took oath of allegiance 31 December 1678.

JOHN CLARK, Northampton, son of William Clark, was Representative 1699, 1700,1, and 3, and died 3 September 1704. He married 12 July 1677, Rebecca Cooper, daughter of Thomas Cooper of Springfield, had Sarah, born 20 April following, and next month his wife died. On 20 March 1679 he married Mary Strong, daughter of the Elder John Strong, had John, 28 October following; Nathaniel, 13 May 1681; Ebenezer, 18 October 1682; Increase, 8 April 1684; Mary, 27 October 1685; Rebecca, 22 November 1687; Experience, 30 October 1689; Abigail, March 1692; Noah, 28 March 1694; Thankful, 13 February 1696, died in few weeks; and Josiah, 11 June 1697. He was Deacon, and eleven of his children married and had families.

JOHN CLARK, Rowley, son of Richard lark, married Mary Poor, perhaps daughter of the first John Poor of Newbury, had Richard, born 1677; John, 1679; Judah, 1682; Ebenezer, 1689; Jonathan, 1691; Joseph and Benjamin twins 1693; and four daughters, was freeman 1684.

JOHN CLARK, Newton, son of Hugh Clark, lived at Muddy river first, had wife Abigail, and son John. His father gave him a farm 1681 in Newton, and his wife died 2 January 1682. He took second wife 1684, Elizabeth Norman, had William, born 20 June 1686; Ann, 18 May 1688; Martha, 11 January 1690; Esther, 1 March 1692; Hannah, 1693, died young; and Moses, 20 June 1695, posthumous, for his will was probated 25 March preceding.

JOHN CLARK, Lynn, probably youngest son of William Clark of the same, married 13 July 1681, Susanna Story, who may have been widow of the second William Story, had William, born 24 April 1682; Mary, 8 February 1685; and perhaps others.

JOHN CLARK, Simsbury, son of Honorable Daniel Clark, married 1685, Mary Crow, eldest daughter of Christopher Crow of Windsor, had Hannah, born 6 August 1686; John; Mary; Jemima; Martha, 19 March 1697; Solomon, 20 May 1699; Elizabeth, 16 May 1701; Sarah, 28 October 1702, died young; Daniel, 31 December 1704; Ann, 12 January 1707, died young; and Benoni, 21 October 1708; and died September 1715.

JONAS CLARK, Cambridge, by wife Sarah, had Thomas, born 2 December 1642, died at 6 years; Sarah, 15 September 1644; Jonas, 4 September 1647; and Mary, 15 November 1649, who died young. His wife died in February following, and he married 30 July following Elizabeth Clark, had Elizabeth; Thomas, 2 March 1653, Harvard College 1670; John, 30 May 1655, died young; Timothy; (who all, as well as the child of former wife were probably baptized, but the dates are not known); Samuel, baptized 6 November 1659; Abigail, 4 May 1662; and Mary, 12 March 1665; for which Mitchell's Registrar is the proof. This wife died 21 or 25 March 1673, aged 41, and he married 19 August following Elizabeth Cook, who survived, had John, again, 7 August 1674, died young; John, again, 3 November 1675, died young; Nathaniel, 27 October 1677; Joseph, 5 May 1679; Hannah, 16 December 1680, died very soon; and Susanna, 20 October 1682. He was Ruling Elder, and died 11 January 1700, aged 79. I presume he was that skilful navigator, sent with Andrews by the Massachusetts government In 1653, to ascertain the latitude of a point on the sea shore at the East, as in Belknap I. 57, is explained. Sarah, daughter of his first wife married 23 February 1662, Samuel Greene, as his second wife; Elizabeth, daughter of his second wife married 23 July 1672, John Woodmansey; and Mary married John Bonner, and died 20 April 1697.

JONAS CLARK, Boston 1677, son of the preceding, freeman 1678, married Susanna Bennett, only daughter of Richard Bennett, died 14 January 1738, aged 90.

JONATHAN CLARK, Newbury, married 15 May 1683, Lydia Titcomb, had Oliver, born 6 February 1684; Samuel, 18 March 1688; Jonathan, 24 May 1689; Lydia, 17 May 1691; and Elizabeth, 10 May 1694.

JONATHAN CLARK, Dover, married 6 September 1686, Mary Magoon, perhaps daughter of Henry Magoon.

JOSEPH CLARK Windsor, brother of Daniel Clark of the same, perhaps had been of Cambridge, and freeman 4 March 1635, was early at Windsor, and died 1641, leaving Joseph and Mary, who married 26 November 1656, John Strong.

JOSEPH CLARK, Dedham, may first have been at Dorchester, by wife Alice, had Joseph, born 27 July 1642; Benjamin, 9 February 1644; Ephraim, 4 February 1646; Daniel, 29 September 1647; Mary, 12 June 1649; and Sarah, 20 February 1651; removed to or lived at Medfield, there had John, 28 October 1652; Nathaniel, 6 October 1658; and Rebecca, 16 August 1660; was freeman 1653; took second wife 25 June 1663, Mary Allen, had Joseph, 14 June 1664; John, again, 31 May 1666; and Jonathan, 14 March 1669; both of the last two died before middle life; and by third wife Mary, he had Esther, 12 March 1671; and Thomas, 6 August 1672, who died at 18 years, and the father died 6 January 1684. His will of 24 June 1682, probated 4 July 1684, mentioned wife Alice, sons Joseph, Ephraim, John, and Nathaniel; daughter Rebecca, who married 1 May 1679, John Richardson; another wife of John Adams; another as is conjectured was wife of Bowers, because it names a grandchild John Bowers.

JOSEPH CLARK, Newport 1639, youngest brother of John Clark of the same, one of the founders of the Baptist Church there, was an Assistant 1658, lived most of his latter years at Westerly, had Joseph, born 2 April 1643; and died 1 June 1694, aged 75. His wife was Margaret, who died 1694, but her surname is not heard. In the will of his brother Thomas, we find his other children living 1674, were John, William, Joshua, Thomas, Susanna, Mary, Sarah, Carew, or Carey, and Elizabeth.

JOSEPH CLARK, Saybrook, son of the first John Clark of the same, was, perhaps, that freeman of Connecticut 1658, and died 27 August 1663.

JOSEPH CLARK, Newport, eldest son of Joseph Clark of the same, married 16 November 1664, Bethia Hubbard, daughter of Samuel Hubbard of Westerly, had Judith, born 12 October 1667; Joseph, 4 April 1670; Samuel, 29 December 1672; John, 25 August 1675; Bethia, 11 April 1678; Mary 27 December 1680; Susanna, 31 August 1683; Thomas, 17 March 1686; and William, 21 April 1688. His wife died 17 April 1707; and he died 11 January 1727, many years after removed to Westerly with his father.

JOSEPH CLARK, Haverhill, took oath of fidelity 28 November 1677. Perhaps he was son of Edmund Clark of Gloucester, and married 27 March 1682, Hannah Davis, possibly daughter of Ephraim Davis of Haverhill, and died 29 November 1696.

JOSEPH CLARK, Haddam, son of William Clark of the same, married Ruth Spencer, daughter of Jared Spencer, had William, Joseph, Daniel, John, Catharine, and Hannah, says Goodwin; but no date of marriage, birth or death of any one of these could he give.

JOSIAH CLARK, Windsor, eldest son of Honorable Daniel Clark of the same, propounded for freeman 1672, married Mary Burr, widow of Christopher Crow, daughter of Benjamin Burr (who was not a few years older than him, and had brought many children to her first husband) had only Josiah, born 13 January 1683.

LATHAM CLARK Newport, son of Jeremiah Clark, of whom it is not easy to learn more; but that by wife Hope, he had Latham, who died 25 February 1690; and Hope, born 10 March 1690; and his wife died 13 October following.

MATTHEW CLARK, Boston, married 4 June 1655, Abigail Maverick, daughter of Elias Maverick, had Abigail, born 17 June 1656, was a mariner, and removed probably 1661, or earlier, to Marblehead, where certainly he was 1668-74.

MATTHEW CLARK, Farmington, son of John the first of same, married Ruth, daughter of John Judd, had Ruth; Matthew; who both died soon; Mary; John; Ruth, again; and Matthew, again; and died 24 September 1751.

NATHANIEL CLARK, Newbury, freeman 1668, married 25 November 1663, Elizabeth Somerby, daughter of Henry Somerby, had Nathaniel, born 5 December 1664, died at 6 months; Nathaniel, again, 13 March 1666; Thomas, 9 February 1668; John Clark, 21 June 1670, Harvard College 1690, third minister of Exeter; Henry, 5 July 1673; Daniel, 16 December 1675; Sarah, 12 January 1678; Josiah, 7 May 1682; Elizabeth, 15 May 1684; Judith, January 1687; and Mary, 25 March 1689; died on board the ship Six Friends, soon after sailing in the expedition against Quebec, 25 August 1690, from an injury, aged 46. His widow married 8 August 1698, Reverend John Hale.

NATHANIEL CLARK, Northampton, eldest son of William Clark of the same, married 8 May 1663, Mary Meakins, daughter of Thomas Meakins, had Mary, born 3 March following; and Sarah, 25 August 1665; and died 30 March 1669. His widow married 14 December following John Allis.

NATHANIEL CLARK, Plymouth, son of Thomas Clark, was Secretary of the Colony under the usurpation and of the council of Andros 1687, died 31 January 1717, aged 72, leaving no children.

NATHANIEL CLARK, Newbury, son of Nathaniel of the same, married 15 December 1685, Elizabeth Toppan, eldest daughter of Peter Toppan of the same, had Elizabeth, born 27 July 1686; but I know nothing more.

NICHOLAS CLARK, Cambridge 1632, arriving at Boston 16 September in the Lion, removed to Hartford, where tradition says, he built, 1635, the first framed house for Captain Talcott, which must be one, if not two years anticipated. He died 2 July 1680, leaving son Thomas, and one or two daughters.

PIERCY CLARK, or PERCIVAL CLARK, Boston, freeman 1675, by wife Elizabeth, had John, born 1 November 1665; Mary, 18 October 1667; Robert, 20 April 1673; and Ruhama, 4 April 1678; besides Gamaliel, Sarah, and Mercy; died April 1716. His will, made 17 November 1700, probated by his widow Elizabeth 30 April after, names son Gamaliel, daughters Buchanan, Mary Morse, Ruhama Williamson, Sarah, Mary, and grandson Percival.

RICHARD CLARK, Plymouth, a passenger in the Mayflower, died soon after landing without wife or child.

RICHARD CLARK, Rowley, by wife Alice, said to be the second marriage in that town, had Judah, born 1644; and John, 1650, besides three daughters.

ROBERT CLARK, Stratford, among freeman in 1669, had married some years before 1665, Sarah, widow of Francis Stiles, had by her no children, but by second wife had John, born about 1684; and Hannah, about 1687; both named in his will of 13 November 1694. He died five days after.

ROBERT CLARK, Boston, minister at King's chapel 1686; but when he removed is not told. Probably it was on the overthrow of Andros in April 1689.

SAMUEL CLARK, Concord, son of Arthur Clark, married Rachel Nichols, whose father is not known to me, had Samuel, born 26 October 1676; William, 30 December 1679; Sarah, 4 July 1681, but this child born at Boston; Rachel, 17 April 1683; Susanna, 26 April 1689; Hannah, 11 April 1691; Benjamin, 13 October 1693; and Arthur, 30 January 1696. His wife died 1722, and he died 30 Jan 1730.

SAMUEL CLARK, Wethersfield, removed perhaps to Stamford, at Milford 1669, thence to Hempstead, Long Island, married Hannah Fordham, daughter of Reverend Robert Fordham, and may in 1685 have been of New Haven.

SAMUEL CLARK, New Haven, son of James Clark the first, married 7 November 1672, Hannah Tuttle, eldest daughter of John Tuttle (who died 21 December 1706), had Samuel, born 7 August following; Daniel, 6 March 1675; John, 23 February 1677; Joseph, 20 October 1678; Stephen, 24 December 1680; Nathaniel, 20 February 1683; Hannah, 6 April 1685; Phineas, 27 June 1687; and Abigail, 6 September 1689.

SAMUEL CLARK, Northampton, son of William Clark, married 1 March 1682, Elizabeth Edwards, daughter of Alexander Edwards, had Elizabeth, born 22 January 1683; Sarah, 21 August 1686; Samuel, 20 August 1688; Benoni, 12 March 1692, died young; Joanna, May 1695; Benjamin, 23 March 1697, died young; Obadiah, 26 September 1698, died soon; another son November 1699, died very soon; and Miriam, 21 September 1702; and he died 5 August 1729; of all his children only Samuel and Sarah survived.

SAMUEL CLARK, Windsor, son of Daniel Clark, married 1687, Mehitable Thrall, daughter of Timothy Thrall, had Samuel, born 10 November 1688; David, 7 April 1696; Joseph, 13 July 1697; and Nathaniel, 11 October 1699. His wife died 15 August 1723. More than one other Samuel Clark was of Boston in early days, but I have not learned any thing of either to convince me, that he was inhabitant here before 1692.

THADDEUS CLARK, Plymouth, married 1663, Elizabeth Mitton, daughter of Michael Mitton, was Lieutenant in the war with the East Indians 1689, and was killed 1690 by them at F. His widow died at Boston 1736, aged 91. Of his children, Isaac is above mentioned, another was a widow Hervey at Boston, 1719, and Elizabeth, was wife of Captain Edward Tyng. Willis, I. 208.

THOMAS CLARK, Plymouth, a carpenter, came in the Ann 1623, married Susanna Ring, daughter of widow Mary Ring, (before 1631, when in her mother's will he is named), had Andrew; James; Susanna, who married 3 November 1658, Barnabas Lothrop; William; John; and Nathaniel. He was Representative 1651 and 5, married second wife 1664, widow Alice Nichols, daughter of Richard Hallet, lived in 1670 at Harwich, where he had third wife Elizabeth Crow, perhaps widow of John, and died 24 March 1697, aged, says the gravestone, 98, or more, probably only 92, since in 1664 he made oath that he was about 59 years old. But to this sufficient longevity the " Guide to Plymouth," 255, would make alarming addition in his note, " supposed mate of the Mayflower." We can hardly doubt, that the oldest survivor of that memorial voyage, within the bounds of the Old Colony, would have been too well known to need a weak tradition to lean on; and that officer of 1620 must have been older than the oldest living in 1697, had he not been dead many years before. In 1627 this Thomas, not the mate, had share in the division of lands as coming in the Ann, not Mayflower.

THOMAS CLARK, Newport 1638, elder brother of John Clark of the same, baptized soon after, born 31 March 1600, one of the founders of the First Church of Boston 1641, and died 2 December 1674, without children, leaving estate to children of his brother Joseph Clark in his will, where alone we find their names.

THOMAS CLARK, Boston, merchant had first lived at Dorchester, 1636, selectman there 1641 and 2, Artillery Company 1638, freeman 14 March 1639, a Captain in 1653, and after head of the Boston regiment, Representative 1651, and many years more, speaker in 1662, and several years later, chosen an Assistant 1673, and died 28 July 1678. His first wife was Mary, by whom he had Mehitable, born 18 April 1640; Elizabeth, 22 May 1642; and Deborah, baptized 9 June 1644. Other children were Thomas, the only son, and Leah, perhaps, both born in England. But his will, made shortly before his death, instructs us that she was wife of Thomas Baker, Deborah, wife of Nathaniel Byfield, and Elizabeth Stevens among daughters and several grandchildren with contingent provision for great grandchildren and his widow was Ann. Surnames of either wife are not known. High should be our esteem of Clark who was one of only two members of the legislature, the Boston representativ in 1656, that voted against the law for putting to death Quakers, who returned after banishment. Dr. Harris, with doubtful propriety, supposed him to be one of three brothers Bray, Joseph, and Thomas, of Dorchester 1630, commemorated in epitaph on a gravestone:

THOMAS CLARK of Boston, early, administrator of the church 18 July 1640, and perhaps the freeman of 2 June 1641, was a blacksmith, and may have lived on north side of the harbor, called Winisemet, now Chelsea, by wife Elizabeth, had Cornelius, born December 1639, baptized 19 July following; Jacob, 16. baptized 22 May 1642; Rachel, 6 July 1646, died at 7 years; and perhaps Benjamin, 4 May 1656.

THOMAS CLARK, Boston, called junior, but though born in England he may not be son of the Honorable Thomas Clark, yet he lived probably some time, earlier or later, at Dorchester, was of Artillery Company 1644, more than once its Captain, Representative 1673-6, and died 13 March 1683. He was one of the wealthiest merchants of Boston, and by his will of 15 August 1679, a new declaration 22 May 1680, probated 22 March 1683, it is judged that only two children were then living, Mehitable Warren, and Elizabeth, who had married 28 May 1661, Mr. John Freak, and was then wife of Elisha Hutchinson. To his widow Elizabeth, he gives £80 a year and £50 in plate, to son Warren £100, and to eldest son of his daughter Mehitable Warren at 21 years of age, or married with consent of parents, £1000; but if she have no sons, this to be equally divided among daughters, if God give them, also to each of said daughters at 21 years or married with consent £300; to son Elisha Hutchinson £100, and to eldest son of his daughter Elizabeth Hutchinson at 21 years or married with consent £1000; then to many relatives in England, to sister Ann Haynes, Dorothy Muscate, and John Smith, sister Stoughton, cousin i. e. nephew Thomas Smith; then to the church of which he was member £50, to ten of his poor kindred £5 each to the poor of Boston £.50, to the poor of Dorchester £20, to the art compelled to purchase arms for poor £10 with this striking final provision "if both my daughters fail of posterity," he gives "for a good hospital in Boston £1500," and he made overseers his kinsmen William Stoughton, Captain John Richards, Mr. William Tailer, and Mr. Thomas Smith, and £10 to each of them. It is not easy to discriminate between this Thomas and the first of the name, who was the speaker. Perhaps in Genealogical Registrar V. 398, the two in some particulars are confused.

THOMAS CLARK, Reading, had first wife Else, who died 28 June 1658, and he married 31 August following Mary, had Elizabeth, born 3 November 1659; and Thomas, 13 October 1661.

THOMAS CLARK, Hartford, son of Nicholas Clark, made freeman 1658, had (says Hinman, 203) Thomas, Daniel, and Joseph,

THOMAS CLARK, Boston, early lived on Noddle's Island, had daughter Sarah, that married 11 June 1662, George Hiskett.

THOMAS CLARK, Scituate 1674, by Deane lightly conjectured to be son or grandson of the mate of the Mayflower, because he came from Plymouth, married 1676, Martha Curtis, daughter of Richard Curtis, had Thomas, Joseph, Daniel, Samuel, Nathaniel, Mercy, Deborah, Rachel, Ann, Charity, and Mary. Before that marriage he served in Philip's war.

THOMAS CLARK, Salem, married 4 March 1676 Mary Voaker, that seems a strange name, had Thomas born 14 April 1677.

THOMAS CLARK Chelmsford, son of Jonas Clark, ordained 1677, by wife Mary, had Lucy; Elizabeth, both lived to marry; besides several who died young; Jonas, born 20 December 1684; and Thomas, 28 September 1694. His wife died 2 December 1700, and he married 2 October 1702, Elizabeth Whiting, daughter of Reverend Samuel Whiting, and died 7 December 1704. He was an able man, and by the exercise of strong common sense, that (in so early a day) too many of the clergy were afraid to show, saved one woman, accused as a witch.

THOMAS CLARK, Yarmouth, married 15 February 1682, Rebecca Miller, daughter of the second John Miller of the same, had Susanna, born 21 February 1684; and Thomas, 25 December 1685.

THOMAS CLARK, Charlestown, married 15 October 1684, Sarah Lynde, daughter of Joseph Lynde of the same, had Thomas, born 22 June following. He lived on Malden side, I presume, died early, and his widow married 12 January 1692, Seth Sweetwater.

THOMAS CLARK, Newbury, son of Nathaniel Clark, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 25 December 1690; Thomas, 2 September 1692; Nathaniel, 23 October 1694; Martha, 12 April 1696; Mary, 16 August 1698; and Daniel, 26 January 1701.

TIMOTHY CLARK, Boston, an important man, was constable 1693; Representative 1700, Captain, and some years selectman. He was son of the first Jonas Clark by second wife, died 15 June 1737, aged 80. He had large share in settlement of Bristol, lived there, 1689, with wife and five children, and his will gave all his estate (except £20 to the poor of Dr. Colman's church) in equal share to his seven children: Jonas, Sarah Paine, Mary Ruck, Margaret Fitch, Catharine Drowne, and heirs of Abigail Parrot, and of Prudence Kneeland, deceased, and named Bryant Parrot and John Kneeland guardians of their respective children, making sons Jonas, Shem Drowne, and Joseph Fitch executors.

TRISTRAM CLARK, or THURSTON CLARK, Plymouth, came from Ipswich, County Suffolk, in the Francis 1634, aged 44, probably with wife Faith, though not named in the list of the custom house, certainly with daughter Faith, 15, who married 6 January 1635, Edward Dotey, and next married 14 March 1667, John Phillips, and survived him. He had removed to Duxbury, and died 6 December 1661; had sons Thurston and Henry, both imbecils, put under guardians.

URIAH CLARK, Roxbury, son of Hugh Clark, by wife Joanna, in Boston, had Uriah, born 5 October 1677; but by wife Mary, had at Roxbury Thomas, 29, baptized 30 November 1679; John, 10, baptized 12 February 1682; Mary, baptized 26 August 1683, at the same time with her brother Uriah; and a child born in April 1685, that died soon; Hannah; Richard; removed 1693 to Watertown; and had Peter Clark, 12 March 1694, Harvard College 1712, a celebrated minister of Danvers, progenitor of a numerous line; Benjamin, 6 November 1696; Nathaniel, 20 June 1698; and Samuel, 15 July 1700. Soon after his wife died, and he married 21 November of that year third wife Martha Pease, had Susanna, 13 November 1701, died young; and Pease, baptized 2 August 1703. But the gravestone inscription makes wife Hannah, aged 25, died 28 February 1682, as in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 52, and this, or Bond, 160, must be wrong. He was selectman 1699 and 1700; and died 26 July 1721, in his will of 27 May preceding, of which son Richard was executor, names wife living, children Peter, Richard, Benjamin, Uriah, Nathaniel, Samuel, Mary Kimball, and Hannah Clark, and for the widow and children of his son John, as well as for Elizabeth Hastings on account of deceased son Thomas, was tender remembered yet it is not seen in Bond, that son Pease was mentioned in it. The name is perverted to Uzijah in Genealogical Registrar V. 394.

WALTER CLARK, Newport, eldest son of Jeremiah Clark (an absurd tradition that he was born about 1637, on the ocean, probably had its origin from the sound of his name, Water), by first wife Content, buried 27 March 1666, had, perhaps, near half of his children but one was a son whose name is not told, and only Mary, born 11 January or February 1662, is mentioned. By second wife married 1666, Hannah Scott, daughter of Richard Scott second of Newport, who died 24 July 1681, he had Hannah, 28 October 1667; besides other daughters Catharine, 1 May 1669; Content, 1 August 1671; and Deliverance, 16 June 1678. His son Jeremiah, born 21 February or March 1674, who died young, was probably his only one, if Francis, born 17 January or February 1673, were a daughter as is supposed. The third wife was Freeborn Williams, daughter of famous Roger Williams, widow of Thomas Hart, who he married 6 March 1683, and who died 10 December 1709. Late in life he married 1711 fourth wife Sarah Prior, daughter of Matthew Prior of Long Island, widow of John Gould. He was a Quaker, and eminent for attracting confidence of his brethren, had been Deputy-Governor before 1676, in which year of trial he was chosen Governor again in 1686, made one of Andros' council by King James II when he united the New England colonies, and Governor again after the separation 1696, 7 and last in 1700, and died 22 May 1714, aged 74. Hannah married 26 September or November 1691, the first Thomas Rodman.

WESTON CLARK, Newport, brother of the preceding, married 25 December 1668, Mary Easton, eldest daughter of Peter Easton, not Nicholas Easton (as sometimes said), had Mary, born 11 January 1670; John, 15 July 1672; Weston, 18 February 1675, died soon; Weston, again, 15 April 1677; and Jeremiah, 23 November 1685. Yet this last may have been child of his second wife Rebecca Thurston, daughter of Edward Thurston.

WILLIAM CLARK, Ipswich, came probably in the fleet with Winthrop, desired in October 1630, administration, was freeman, and was sworn 18 May following, went with the earliest settlers 1633, to Ipswich, and may have removed to other town before his death, for we know nothing more of him.

WILLIAM CLARK, Watertown 1631, freeman 22 May 1639, by wife Margery, had Mary, born 10 December 1640; Elizabeth, 26 November 1642; Lydia; and removed to Wolburn, there had Hannah, 3 February 1646. He died 15 March 1682, aged 87, and his widow died 11 October 1694, aged 95. Mary married 27 December 1655 (rather young) William Locke; Elizabeth married 20 December 1659, George Brush, both of Woburn; Hannah married 1667, William Frissell of Concord; and Lydia had two daughters and was a widow when in his will of 10 December 1681, her father provided for them. A careful writer in Genealogical Registrar V. 248, 9, conjectured that this man embarked at London in the Plain Joan, and his wife in the Primrose, in May and July respectively 1635, both for Virginia but he next year owned to me, that he was satisfied of the contradiction.

WILLIAM CLARK, Salem, was supposed by Mr. Felt to be the man who wished administration as freeman 1630, though in my opinion he came first in 1634, by the Mary and John. He kept an ordinary, and was censured by the government when he was Lieutenant 1645, for offence in petition to England. See Winthrop II. 301. By a former wife he had a son and daughter and by wife Catharine (who survived him, and in May 1647 was licensed to continue the tavern) had four more children. His daughter Deborah died 16 March 1661. Estate was good according to inventory given by the widow July 1647, up to £587, 3, 2.

WILLIAM CLARK,.Dorchester, about 1636, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 21 June 1638, died soon; Jonathan, 1 October 1639; Nathaniel, 27 January 1642; Experience, 30 March 1643; Increase, 1 March 1646, who died at 16 years; Rebecca, about 1648; John, 1651; Samuel, baptized 23 October 1653; William, born 3 July 1656; and Sarah, again, March 1659. He was selectman 1646 and 7, removed 1659 to Northampton, for which he was Representative 1663, and 13 years more, but not consecutively, and Lieutenant in Philip's war. His wife died 6 September 1675, and he married 15 November 1676, Sarah, widow of Thomas Cooper of Springfield, who died 8 May 1688; and he died 18 July 1690, aged 81. Rebecca married 9 December 1669, Israel Rust; and Sarah married 3 December 1675, John Parsons.

WILLIAM CLARK, Lynn 1610, had Lydia, born 31 October 1642; Hannah, 11 January 1644; Sarah; Mary; probably William; Elizabeth, 6 October 1652; Martha, 15 April 1655, died under 7 years and John, 2 January 1659, who died the year after his father that died 5 March 1683. His will was made 1679, and his widow Mary died 19 August 1693; and; his daughter Hannah died 26 October following.

WILLIAM CLARK, Hartford 1639, servant of John Crow, removed to Haddam, died 1681, leaving William, John, Joseph, Thomas, and several daughters.

WILLIAM CLARK, Yarmouth, died 7 December 1668, probably unmarried, gives his little property by nuncupative will to Joseph Benjamin.

WILLIAM CLARK, Duxbury, son of Thomas Clark of Plymouth, married Martha Nash, daughter of Samuel Nash, was surveyor of highways 1659, removed probably to Bridgewater, and may have married 1 March 1660, at Plymouth, Sarah Woolcot, whose father is unknown to me. He made his will 3 January 1687, and soon after died leaving as is thought neither wife nor children.

WILLIAM CLARK of Boston, married 18 September 1661, Martha Farr, daughter of George Farr of Lynn, had Samuel, born 28 June 1663; John, 3 April 1666; and Mary, 22 March 1668.

WILLIAM CLARK, Lynn, perhaps son of William Clark of the same, married 23 August 1669, Elinor Dearnford, as Felt gives the name in Genealogical Registrar V. 95, removed, I conjecture, to Boston (where his wife on record is Ellen), and had Joanna, born 22 August 1670.

WILLIAM CLARK, Northampton, son of the first William Clark of the same, married 15 July 1680, Hannah Strong, daughter of Elder John Strong, had Hannah, born 5 May 1681; Abigail, 25 January 1683, died at 4 years; William; Jonathan, 13 May 1688; Thomas, 14 April 1690; Joseph, 1691; Benoni, 1 February 1693; and his wife died 10 days after. By second wife Mary, he had Timothy, 9 October 1695; and Gershom, 18 November 1697. He was freeman 1690, and removed to Lebanon about 1700, and was a prominent man; but whether he had more children or when he died is uncertain

WILLIAM CLARK, Saybrook, married 7 March 1678, Hannah Griswold, daughter of the second Francis Griswold.

WILLIAM CLARK, Boston, by wife Rachel, had William, born 30 December 1679, was a Captain, and the same, or more probably another by wife Rebecca, had William, born 31 March 1681; and either was, or even a third, perhaps, the freeman of 1690.

WILLIAM CLARK, Boston, brother of the Honorable John Clark, was Representative 1720-2, & 5. See Hutchinson II. On this copious name, in some family using e instead of a, and in more ending with e, it seems best to have uniformed spelling as there exists nothing but confusion in the variety, I have bestowed great labor, but feel sure, that many omissions may be detected, and ought to rejoice if graver failure be not found. Graduates at Harvard count 29, at Yale 27, at Dartmouth 10 in 1829, probably 30 more at the other New England colleges, of which at Harvard twelve were clergymen, and about twenty as the aggregate of the other Institutions.

JOHN CLARK, Watertown, married 5 February 1644, Sarah Cady, perhaps sister of Nicholas Cady, but Bond, 162, calls the wife Mary Cassell, had Sarah, born 4 October 1647; perhaps John; and Gershom, 7 September 1650, who probably died young; removed to Hadley, and died 1690, leaving no children, but gives his estate to children of John and of Sarah his child. This daughter married 13 December 1667, John Perry of Watertown. Bond's account makes the second wife of Clary to be Sarah, and that she died 23 December 1681; but perhaps page 742 explains some former part of his narrative.

JOHN CLARK, Hatfield, son of the preceding married 1670, Ann Dickinson, at Northfield, died 1688, perhaps shot by Indians. He left John, Joseph, and Mary.

HUMPHREY CLAY, New London 1651, innholder, had wife Catharine, daughter Sarah, and removed about 1666.

JOSEPH CLAY, Guilford, married 18 April 1670, Mary Law, had Mary, born 10 January 1671; Sarah, 5 March 1674; Hannah and Elizabeth, twins 3 August 1677, both died young. His wife died Decemberember 1692; and he died 30 November 1695.

THOMAS CLAY, Scituate 1643, had been seen in Massachusetts 1640, by Mr. Felt.

RICHARD CLAYDON, Salem, brother of the preceding, came the same year aged 34, with wife, a daughter, and a sister aged 14, accompaning Higginson. He was a wheelwright, but as neither of their party is again heard of, they perhaps went home.

JOHN CLAYS, Casco 1665. See Hutchinson Collections 398. It may be supposed he is the same as the Salem John, without final s.

THOMAS CLAYTON, Dover 1650, perhaps removed to Rhode Island, may have been father of Ann, second wife of Governor Nicholas Easton, and next, Governor Henry Bull; and of Sarah, who married 4 March 1674, Matthew Borden.

JOHN CLEAR, Boston, called 1677, junior, shoemaker, perhaps was son of the preceding.

AARON CLEAVELAND, Woburn, second son of Moses Cleaveland the first, married 26 September 1675, Dorcas Wilson, whose father is unknown to me, had Dorcas, born 29 October 1676; Hannah, 18 November 1678, died next year; Aaron, 9 July 1680; Hannah, again, 2 June 1687; Moses, 24 February 1690; Sarah, 5 March 1692; Miriam, 9 July 1694; Isabel, 6 April 1697, died at 17 years; and Benjamin, 16 May 1701. His wife died at Cambridge, 29 November 1714, and he had, it is said, second wife Prudence, but died 14 September 1716. Probably that Reverend Aaron Cleaveland, Harvard College 1735, who died 18 August 1757, at Philadelphia, in the house of Dr. Franklin, was his grandson.

EDWARD CLEAVELAND, and ISAAC CLEAVELAND, brothers of the preceding, according to family tradition had families, but neither the dates of marriages, nor of births of children, nor names of mothers, nor residence of fathers can be found.

ENOCH CLEAVELAND, youngest son of the first Moses Cleaveland, was a tailor, and lived in various places, had wife Elizabeth, and eldest son Jonathan, another son and a daughter whose names are not heard. He died at Concord 1729, and his widow died soon after.

JOSIAH CLEAVELAND, Chelmsford 1691, brother of the preceding, had service in Indians war, by wife Mary, had Josiah, born 7 October 1690; and Joseph, 13 June 1695; removed to Canterbury, Connecticut, there had Henry, perhaps 1697; Mary, probably 1699; John; Rachel; Lydia, 7 Decemberember 1704; daughter Deliverance, 13 July 1707, and daughter Abiel, posthumous 9 October 1709; the father died 26 April preceding.

MOSES CLEAVELAND, Woburn, came, says family tradition (with his master, a joiner, of whom he was apprentice) from Ipswich, County Suffolk, married 26 September 1648, Ann Winn, daughter of Edward Winn, had Moses, born 1 September 1651; Hannah, 4 August 1653; Aaron, 10 January 1655; Samuel, 9 June 1657; Miriam, 10 July 1659; Joanna, 19 September 1661, died soon; Edward, 20 May 1663; Josiah, 26 February 1667; Isaac, 11 May 1669; Joanna, again, 5 Apr: 1670; and Enoch, 1 August 1671; and died 9 January 1702. Hannah married 24 September 1677, Thomas Hensher of Woburn; Miriam married 13 December 1683, Thomas Fosket of Charlestown; and Joanna married a Keyes.

MOSES CLEAVELAND, Woburn, eldest son of the preceding, married 4 October 1676, Ruth Norton, had Ann, born 7 November 1677; and Joseph, 31 March 1686.

SAMUEL CLEAVELAND, Canterbury, brother of the preceding, married 17 May 1680, Jane Keyes, daughter of Solomon Keyes of Chelmsford, who died 4 November 1681. He married 23 May following Persis Hildreth, daughter of Richard Hildreth, who died 22 February 1698; and he probably died 1736. His children born at Chelmsford were Persis, 21 April 1683; Samuel, 12 January 1685; and Joseph, 18 July 1689; but after his removal to Canterbury in 1693, he had Mary, 14 June 1696; and by a third wife married 25 July 1699, widow Margaret Fish, he had Abigail, 23 April 1700; and Timothy, August 1702. It is supposed that all of this name, sometimes written Cleveland, derive from Moses Cleaveland the first; and in 1834 seven had been graduates at Yale, five at Harvard, and eleven at other New England colleges, besides the honorable M.D. to eight more.

ABRAHAM CLEMENT, ABRAHAM CLEMENS, ABRAHAM CLEMENTS, or ABRAHAM CLEMENCE, Newbury, married 10 March 1683, Hannah Gove, probably daughter of Edward Gove of Hampton, had Edmund, born 3 March 1684, removed to Hampton, and there, Coffin says, had seven more. Perhaps he was son of the first Robert Clement of Haverhill, and took oath of allegiance 28 November 1677.

AUSTIN CLEMENT, AUSTIN CLEMENS, AUSTIN CLEMENTS, or AUSTIN CLEMENCE or AUGUSTINE CLEMENT, AUGUSTINE CLEMENS, AUGUSTINE CLEMENTS, or AUGUSTINE CLEMENCE, Dorchester, a painter, came from Southampton in the James of London, April 1635, but may have been on this side of the water in 1632; yet greater is the probability that he went home in 1636, and came again in May 1637, by the Mary Ann of Yarmouth, though against either conjectured strong suggestions arises, by wife Elizabeth, he had Elizabeth, probably born in England certainly the eldest child; Samuel, born 29 September 1635; Joanna, 19 November 1638, died soon; John, 21 October 1639, who probably died young; and was freeman 25 May 1636, removed to Boston 1652, but after some years went back to Dorchester, there died 1 October 1674. He had good estate and in his will of 30 January 1672 mentioned wife Elizabeth, son Samuel, and daughter Elizabeth, wife of the second William Sumner, with her seven children.

DANIEL CLEMENT, DANIEL CLEMENS, DANIEL CLEMENTS, or DANIEL CLEMENCE, Haverhill, son of Robert Clement, swore allegiance November 1677.

JAMES CLEMENT, JAMES CLEMENS, JAMES CLEMENTS, or JAMES CLEMENCE, Marshfield, married 28 December 1674, Martha Deane, whose mother was a widow that came in the Planter 1635; but his parentage is unknown, and he died in few weeks after marrying. His widow married next year James Powell, and who he was, I ask in vain.

JASPER CLEMENT, JASPER CLEMENS, JASPER CLEMENTS, or JASPER CLEMENCE, Middletown 1660, had a wife in England but desired one here, died 1677, leaving wife but no children.

JOB CLEMENT, JOB CLEMENS, JOB CLEMENTS, or JOB CLEMENCE, Haverhill 1646, eldest son of Robert Clement, born in England, a tanner, was freeman 1647, married 25 December 1644, Margaret Dummer, who must have been a daughter of one of the three brothers Richard Dummer, Stephen Dummer, or Thomas Dummer, removed to Dover, there served 1655 on grand jury, had second wife Lydia, and took for the third, 16 July 1673, Joanna, widow of Thomas Leighton, was made counsellor of the Province 1683, and died 1683. His widow died 15 January 1704. Of children only Job is mentioned who lived to 1717, but who of the three wives was his mother I do not learn from Belkin I. 410, or Pike's Journ. or Mirick, 25, 6, 30, or Kelly's MS.

JOHN CLEMENT, JOHN CLEMENS, JOHN CLEMENTS, or JOHN CLEMENCE, Haverhill 1645, married 1649, perhaps as second wife Sarah Osgood, daughter of John Osgood of Andover, had Rebecca, I suppose to be meant by the name (called in the will of grandfather Osgood next year Bakah), perhaps others, may have been 1651 at Marblehead, was Representative 1654, and died by shipwreck on voyage to England not long after.

JOHN CLEMENT, JOHN CLEMENS, JOHN CLEMENTS, or JOHN CLEMENCE, Haverhill, son of Robert Clement, swore allegiance 28 November 1677, married 28 September 1688, Elizabeth Richardson, perhaps daughter of Joseph Richardson of Woburn, and removed to Lynn.

RICHARD CLEMENT, RICHARD CLEMENS, RICHARD CLEMENTS, or RICHARD CLEMENCE, Providence, perhaps son of Thomas Clement, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 11 November 1687; Mary, 24 May 1689; Ann, 11 December 1690; Thomas, 6 August 1693; Abigail, 4 December 1695; and Richard, 19 July 1698.

RICHARD CLEMENT, RICHARD CLEMENS, RICHARD CLEMENTS, or RICHARD CLEMENCE, Haverhill, brother of John Clement, came, it is said, from London 1642, bringing many children, was Representative 1647-53, had administration on estate of brother John Clement, and died 27 September 1658, in his will names oldest son Job; Robert; John; Abraham; Daniel; Moses Pingree, husband of his daughter Abigail; John Osgood, who married 15 November 1653, his daughter Mary; and Abraham Morrill, who had married 10 June 1645, his daughter Sarah. He is strangely called Reverend in Genealogical Registrar XIII. 118.--also, after preceding insert, went to England after death of his brother John Clement to look after his property.

ROBERT CLEMENT, RICHARD CLEMENS, RICHARD CLEMENTS, or RICHARD CLEMENCE, Haverhill, son of the preceding, married 2 April 1667, Joanna Carr, perhaps daughter of George Carr, and had second wife a daughter of John Fawne, and died 1712. He took oath of fidelity at the same time with Abraham, Daniel, and John, his brothers.

SALMON CLEMENT, SALMON CLEMENS, SALMON CLEMENTS, or SALMON CLEMENCE, Boston, married 13 June 1660, Joanna Riland.

SAMUEL CLEMENT, SAMUEL CLEMENS, SAMUEL CLEMENTS, or SAMUEL CLEMENCE, Boston, son probably eldest of Austin Clement, married 7 July 1657, Hannah Ings, daughter of Maudit Ings or Maudit Inglis, who died 9 April following. By second wife Deborah, he had Augustine, born 20 April 1669; Samuel, 18 July 1670; both baptized 2 May 1675; Hannah, born 5 November 1673; and Rebecca, 7 July 1678.

THOMAS CLEMENT, THOMAS CLEMENS, THOMAS CLEMENTS, or THOMAS CLEMENCE, Providence 1645, is among the freeman 1655, and was too brave, or too old, to leave the place in Philip's war. By wife Elizabeth, he had Elizabeth, and perhaps Richard, certainly son Content.

WILLIAM CLEMENT, WILLIAM CLEMENS, WILLIAM CLEMENTS, or WILLIAM CLEMENCE, Cambridge 1636, was unhappy with his wife separating from her, and desired division 1656. But if her name was Martha, as is probable, he became free, by her death 10 December 1659, to marry 3 April following Ann Taylor, and in 1672 gave to Daniel Hudson all his estate on condition of support for himself and wife Ann for the residual of their lives. Even with Jackson's aid, as he mentioned no children, I am not able to distinguish him from another.

WILLIAM CLEMENT, WILLIAM CLEMENS, WILLIAM CLEMENTS, or WILLIAM CLEMENCE of Cambridge, called junior, who died 16 July 1669.

WILLIAM CLEMENT, WILLIAM CLEMENS, WILLIAM CLEMENTS, or WILLIAM CLEMENCE, Boston, Artillery Company 1662, married Mary Rock, daughter of Joseph Rock, and of him I hear no more. With or without final s, and without t in some families the name may be the same.

MATTHEW CLESSON, Northampton, an Irish servant of one of the early inhabitants, married 1670, Mary Phelps, daughter of Nathaniel Phelps, had nine children of which Mary, probably eldest, died 11 December 1671, and another Mary, died 15 April 1687; was freeman 1690, removed to Deerfield, where live descendants.

JOHN CLEVERLY, Braintree 1669, a blacksmith, freeman 1671, when he was member of the First Church of Boston, and his name is perverted to Cleanesby on the record as transcribed by Paige in Genealogical Registrar III. 241, or Cleavesby by Pulsifer in Massachusetts Colony record IV. part 2, page 585, yet probably the first wrong to his good name was the fault of Mr. Secretary Rawson, or of his careless sub-official. But the strangeness of the surname might have stimulated a doubt by wife Sarah, who died 25 October 1692, aged 54, he had Stephen, who died 10 March 1692, aged 19, perhaps other children, was a Lieutenant, and died 1703.

BENJAMIN CLEVES, or BENJAMIN CLEAVES, Beverly, youngest son of William Cleves of the same, born little more than a year after the extra-judicious murder of his grandfather Giles Corey, married 2 June 1719, Rebecca Conant, daughter of John Conant, had Bethia, born 25 July 1720; Benjamin, 4 January 1722; Joshua, 2 February 1724; Deborah, 2 February 1725; Rebecca, 29 February 1728; Lydia, 29 August 1731; and Andrew, 1 October 1735. His wife died 13 September 1770, aged 74; and he died 14 September 1775.

GEORGE CLEVES, or GEORGE CLEAVES, Falmouth, came in 1630, I think, from Plymouth, in Devonshire, and sat down, first, at Spurwink, or Scarborough, and in two years removed a little further east to be the earliest inhabitant of Falmouth, no doubt drawn thither by its superior harbor, was of the grand jury 1640, united with Richard Tucker of Saco, both in trade, and land speculation, thereby promoted grant discord about patents. He had Elizabeth, who married first, Michael Mitton, next, a Harvey, and died 1681; but whether blessed with other children is not told. Administered freeman 1658 of Massachusetts, he was Representative 1663, and died about 1667, probably a very old man, for he testify in 1663, that his wife Joan was of 87 years. Copious details of him are in Willis and Folsom. See also Winthrop I. 231; II. 256; and Sullivan, 312-6.

JOHN CLEVES, or JOHN CLEAVES, Beverly, son of the first William Cleves, married 26 June 1699, Mercy Eaton, daughter of Joseph Eaton, had Martha, born 20 October 1703; Robert, 26 April 1707; Elinor, 8 June 1709; John, 1713; John, again, 1715; and William, 27 March 1720. Second wife he took 23 August 1723, Rebecca Corning; and 21 August 1720, a third wife, and he died 14 September 1753.

WILLIAM CLEVES, or WILLIAM CLEAVES, Roxbury, married 4 November 1659, Sarah Chandler, daughter of William Chandler, had Sarah, born 12 August 1660. As no more appears on the record except censure of his wife by the church 1670, it might be inferred that he removed, but he was killed at Sudbury fight, 21 April 1676. His widow married it is said, three other husbands.

WILLIAM CLEVES, or WILLIAM CLEAVES, Beverly, married Martha Corey, daughter of Giles Corey, that sufferer of the horrible punishment of pressed to death never inflicted on any other in New England, had John, born 11 October 1676; Elinor, 1678; Martha, 1681; and for second wife had Margaret Corey, sister of the first wife, and by her, William, 23 July 1686; Hannah, 31 March 1688; Robert, 21 July 1689; Ebenezer, 13 October 1691; and Benjamin, 23 October 1693. When he died is not told; but his widow married 3 May 1716, Jonathan Byles.

WILLIAM CLEVES, or WILLIAM CLEAVES, Beverly, son of the preceding, married 11 January 1711, Rebecca Whittredge, daughter of Thomas Whittredge of Ipswich, had Thomas and Joseph, twins born 14 February 1715; and William, 15 September 1720.

GEORGE CLIFFORD, Boston, was of Artillery Company 1644, had John, baptized 10 May 1646.

ISRAEL CLIFFORD, Hampton, perhaps son of John Clifford of the same, took oath of allegiance December 1678, by wife Ann, had Mehitable, born 9 July 1686.

JOHN CLIFFORD, Hampton 1658, married 18 August 1670, Sarah Godfrey, daughter of Deacon William Godfrey, probably for second wife as he seems to have several children at that time, certainly Hannah, who married 20 November 1677, Luke Malone; and probably two or three sons, was freeman 1676, probably for third wife had Bridget, widow of John Huggins, and died 1694, aged 80.

JOHN CLIFFORD, Lynn, freeman 1678, some years before was of Salem, died 17 June 1698, aged 68.

JOHN CLIFFORD, Hampton, son of John Clifford of the same, took oath of allegiance 25 April 1678, had John, born 6 February 1687.

WILLIAM CLIFT, Marshfield, married 1691, says Deane, Lydia Willis, daughter of Samuel Willis of Scituate, and died 17 October 1722.

THOMAS CLIFTON, was freeman of Massachusetts 2 June 1641, yet of what town a residence is unknown, his name which in the printed list is given Clipton, stands between an inhabitant of Dorchester and one of Concord, but removed with early settlers 1643 to Rehoboth, and at last settled in Rhode Island, there by wife Mary, had Patience, born 2 July 1646, who married 4 September 1664, John Beere. Another child probably elder, with the soft name of Hope Clifton, was banished under pain of death for returning from Massachusetts as a Quaker, 1658.

EZEKIEL CLISBY, EZEKIEL CLEESBY, or EZEKIEL CLESBY, Boston, brought by his uncle John Clisby in 1670, aged 7, by wife Sarah, had Ezekiel, born 25 November 1689, and was sworn freeman 1690.

EZEKIEL CLISBY, EZEKIEL CLEESBY, or EZEKIEL CLESBY, Charlestown, son of the preceding, married 21 February 1715, Abigail Frothingham, daughter of Nathaniel Frothingham.

JOHN CLISBY, JOHN CLEESBY, or JOHN CLESBY, Charlestown, went home 1669 to bring here, next year four children of a brother, deceased, whose widow was Elizabeth, of which we have names only of Mary, 11 years old, and John and Ezekiel, each 7, but the youngest, about 5 years died soon after arriving. His wife was Hannah, and he died December 1695. She died 26 July 1724, aged 86 by gravestone, 88 by record.

ANDREW CLOADE, Boston, wine-cooper, married 29 September 1633, Elizabeth Bugby, had Elizabeth, born 13 September following who died at one year; Mary, 22 July 1656, and he died early in 1664, his inventory of £40 being brought in by his widow In April of that year.

EBENEZER CLOUGH, Boston 1690, by wife Martha, had John, baptized 4 March 1694; Martha, 26 May 1695; Mary, 19 July 1697; Ebenezer, 19 March 1699, died soon, as did his mother; and by wife Thankful, had Ebenezer, again, 27 January 1702, died young; John, 18 May 1704; William, 21 February 1707; Susanna, 23 August 1709; Mary, 25 June 1711; Elizabeth, 23 September 1714; Ebenezer, again, 29 November 1716; and John, 9 February 1720. Under his will of 3 January 1724, probated 27 of same, the widow and her children alone have portions of estate to the exclusion of chidlren by first wife except that to Elias Parkman, son of his daughter Martha £40. are given with an apology, "because he will have considerable, which I ought to have had with my first wife who was his grandmother"

JOHN CLOUGH, Watertown, tailor, came in the Elizabeth 1635, aged 22, was freeman 18 May 1642, by wife Jane, had Elizabeth, born 16 December 1642; Mary, 30 July 1644; Sarah, 28 June 1646; John, 9 March 1648. But he had second wife Susanna, though neither the daughter of former wife nor marriage of this is heard of, when he conveyed his message to William Shattuck of Watertown, and he removed to Salisbury. Other children too he had, as Thomas, 29 May 1651; Martha, 21 March 1654; and Samuel, 26 February 1657, yet we may hardly be light to give the second wife more than the two last, or to deny her half a dozen. His wife died 16 January 1680, and he died 26 July 1691.

JOHN CLOUGH, Charlestown 1632, was of Boston soon after, by wife Elizabeth, had Priscilla, born 28 January 1655.

JOHN CLOUGH, Hartford, freeman of Connecticut 1654, may have been father of that John, who little over ten years later was petitioner for the plantation of Killingworth.

JOHN CLOUGH, Boston, feltmaker, was called junior in 1674, and may have been son of the former Boston John Clough, or not.

JOHN CLOUGH, Salisbury, son of the first John Clough, freeman 1690, married 13 November 1674, Mercy Page, had Benoni, born 23 May 1675; Mary, 8 April 1677; John, 30 June 1678; Cornelius, 7 May 1680; Caleb, 26 October 1682; Joseph, 14 October 1684; Sarah, 5 April 1686; Jonathan, 11 April 1688; Martha, 17 March 1691; Moses, 26 March 1693; Aaron, 16 December 1695; and Tabitha, 12 February 1698.

JOHN CLOUGH, of New Hampshire, married 15 January 1686, but the family name of his wife Martha, is not clear.

WILLIAM CLOUGH, Charlestown, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 21 November 1657; Joseph, 18 September 1659; Benjamin, baptized 30 March 1662, the father joined the church 25 August 1661; Samuel, 10 December 1665; and Nathaniel, 22 March 1668; perhaps lived at Boston, 1690, when administered freeman.

WILLIAM CLOUGH, a soldier, perhaps not son of the preceding, was killed in Hatfield, 27 August 1675; but William, son of William, died 8 February 1664.

He was probably killed by the Indians 1676.

NATHANIEL CLOYES, or NATHANIEL CLOYCE, Wells, brother of the preceding, married a daughter of Thomas Mills. His wife Sarah Mills was administered of the church, as in Budington’s list appears, 1 January 1699.

PETER CLOYES, or PETER CLOYCE, Wells, brother of the preceding, by wife Hannah, had Mary, and Hannah, removed to Salem, where his second wife Sarah, widow of Edmund Bridges the second by whom he had three or four children. Was sadly tormented with charge of witchcraft in the reign of superstition, 1692, being long imprisoned at Boston before trial, and at Ipswich hardly escaped the doom desired by the preposterous indictment. He last removed to that part of Sudbury which soon became Framingham, there married 2 or 21 January 1704, third wife Susanna, widow of Eliezer Beers of Watertown, was town Treasurer and selectman, and died 18 July 1708. Hannah married about 1686, Daniel Eliot.

WALTER CLOYES, or WALTER CLOYCE, Salem, of who no more is known but that he was freeman 1678. In the Watertown record his name slides into Clayse, and even Clarse; but at other places other transmutations occur.

RICHARD CLUFF, Plymouth 1634, after 1637 removed to Massachusetts, probably this family name was the same as Clough.

MICHAEL CLUGSTONE, Fairfield, married a daughter of Reverend Samuel Wakeman, and died 1697; by his inventory seemed to have good estate.

NATHANIEL COALBORNE, Dedham, freeman 2 June 1641, by wife Priscilla, had Sarah, born 5 April 1640; Rebecca, 17 February 1643; Nathaniel, 3 March 1645; perhaps John; certainly Hannah, 30 January 1653 who married 16 January 1678, Thomas Aldridge. He was freeman 1684.

JOHN COATES, Lynn, son of Thomas Coates, married 14 April 1681, Mary Witherdin, had Mary and John, twins born 14 January 1682, and his wife died 18 June following.

ROBERT COATES, Lynn, had Abigail, born 10 April 1663, he then aged 36, so that he may have had other children before her. She married 16 January 1684, Samuel Rhoades.

ROBERT COATES, Boston 1673, perhaps son of the preceding, was a soldier on Connecticut river in 1676, under Captain Turner, probably after living at Lynn, there had Robert, born 17 October 1683.

THOMAS COATES, Lynn 1658, had John, before mentioned James, and Thomas. Lewis. One Eleazer Coates was killed 1677, carelessly by John Flint, and £40 fine was imposed on Flint, one half to the father of Coates, as Felt, in Colony record II. 459, found; and in Colony record V. 142, may be seen that one half of the £20 was remitted by the government on petition of Edward Flint, perhaps the father of John Flint.

AUGUSTINE COBB, Taunton 1670, had Elizabeth, born 10 February 1671; Morgan, 29 December 1673; Samuel, 9 November 1675; Bethia, 5 April 1678; Mercy, 12 August 1680; and Abigail, 1684. Of him descends David Cobb, one of the aids of Washington in the army of the Revolution.

EDWARD COBB, Taunton, brother perhaps of the preceding, swore fidelity 1657, married 28 November 1660, Mary Haskins, probably daughter of William Haskins, and died 1675, leaving Edward.

GERSHOM COBB; Swanzey, perhaps son of Henry Cobb, was buried 24 June 1675, I suppose he resided at Barnstable, but was killed with eight others that day, being the earliest hostile act of Philip's forces in the great war.

HENRY COBB, Barnstable, one of the first settlers, had been of Plymouth about 1629, and of Scituate in, 1633, there one of the founders of the church 8 January 1635, of which he was that year chosen Deacon, was probably from Kent, by wife Patience Hurst, daughter, I presume, of Deacon James Hurst, who was buried 4 May 1648, had John, born 7 June 1632; James, 14 January 1635, both at Plymouth; Mary, 24, baptized 26 March 1637; Hannah, baptized 6 October 1639; both at Scituate, whence he removed that year with Reverend John Lothrop; Patience, 15 March 1642; Gershom, 10, baptized 12 January 1645; and Eleazer, 30 March baptized 2 April 1648. As second wife he took, 12 December 1649, Sarah Hinckley, daughter of Samuel Hinckley, had Mehitable, 1, baptized 7 September 1651, died at 6 months; Samuel, born 12 October 1654; Sarah, 15 January 1658, died in few days; Jonathan, 10 April 1660; Sarah, again, 10 March 1663; Henry, 3 September 1665; Mehitable, again, 15 February 1667; and Experience, 11 September 1671. He was Representative 1645, and six years more, and died 1679. Mary married 15 October 1657, Jonathan Dunham, as second wife; Hannah married 9 May 1661, Edward Lewis; Patience married August 1667, Robert Parker; Sarah married 27 December 1686, Samuel Chipman, or Benjamin Hinkley, but who is uncertain for two Sarahs, cousins, were contemporary and one living to 8 January 1742.

HENRY COBB, Barnstable, son of the preceding, married 10 April 1690, Lois Hallett, had Gideon, born 11 April 1691; Eunice, 18 September 1693; Lois, 2 March 1696; and Nathan.

JAMES COBB, Barnstable, brother of the preceding, married 26 December 1663, Sarah Lewis, daughter of George Lewis, had Mary, born 26 November 1664; Sarah, 26 January 1666; Patience, 12 January 1668; Hannah, 28 March 1671; James, baptized with the last, 8 July 1673; Gershom, 31 August 1675; John, 20 December 1677; Elizabeth, 6 October 1680; Martha, 6 February baptized 16 September 1683; Mercy, 9 April 1685; and Thankful, 10 June 1687. When he died is not told; but his widow married 23 November 1698, Jonathan Sparrow.

JOHN COBB, Taunton 1659, thought to be brother of Augustine Cobb, took oath of fidelity 1657, married 13 June 1676, Jane Woodward, had John, born 31 March 1678; and no more is seen.

JOHN COBB, Plymouth, married 28 August 1658, Martha Nelson, had John, born 24 August 1662, died young; Samuel; Israel; and Elizabeth, whose dates are not given; and Elisha, 3 April 1678; and James, 20 July 1682.

JONATHAN COBB, Barnstable, son of Henry Cobb the first, married 1 March 1683, Hope Huckins, perhaps daughter of the first Thomas Huckins of the same, had Samuel, born 23 February baptized 6 April 1681; Jonathan, born 26 April 1686; Ebenezer, 10 April 1688; Joseph, 4 August baptized 21 September 1690; and Lydia, 7 January baptized 5 March 1693.

SAMUEL COBB, Barnstable, brother of the preceding, by wife Elizabeth Taylor, daughter of Richard Taylor, married 20 December 1680, had Sarah, born 20 August 1681; Thomas, 1 June 1683; Elizabeth, November 1685; Henry, 17 February 1687; Samuel and Mehitable, twins 10 September 1691; Experience, 8 January 1693; Jonathan, 25 December 1694; Eleazer, 14 January 1696; and Lydia, 8 December 1699; and he died 7 December 1727. Descendants are very numerous of which Ebenezer Cobb, that died at Kingston, 8 December 1801, at the age, as was said, of more than 107 and 1/2 years was, perhaps, the oldest man who ever was born, and lived on the soil of Massachusetts. Of this name, graduates at Harvard in 1828, were by Farmer found six; at Yale, and Dartmouth two each, and nine at the other New England colleges.

JAMES COBBETT, came in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, aged 23, from London, but no more is found of him.

JOHN COBBETT, Ipswich, son of the Reverend Thomas Cobbett, was made freeman 1683.

JOSIAH COBBETT, Cambridge, as he came in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, aged 21, may be well thought brother of James Cobbett, removed to Hingham 1637, but was a proprietor of Salisbury 1640, may have been a resident but, if so, soon removed, was freeman 7 October 1640, and no more is known but that at Boston, by wife Mary, he had Ruth, born 6 August 1657.

SAMUEL COBBETT, Ipswich, eldest son of the Reverend Thomas Cobbett, remembered in the will of Francis Lightfoot, then being a small child December 1646, freeman 1674, removed to Lynn, perhaps there had Margaret, born 17 August 1676, who died next month. No more is heard of him, yet in the Collections calalogue 1698, every one of his class, except himself is mark with * as dead. One of his name was of Bristol, February 1689.

THOMAS COBBETT, Lynn, a man of high esteem, born 1608 at Newbury, in County Bucks, was bred at Oxford, but could not take his degree being driven away by the plague, at his native town studied under famous Dr. Twisse, and first preached in Lincolnshire, unless Mather be wrong. This brought him acquaintance with Whiting of Boston; and both, by the intolerance of the High church party, were forced to leave their places. In his wonted looseness the author of the Magnalia makes him come in the same ship with Davenport, and says that his parents came after to our shore. Of them we never hear a word; and if we may not infer from silence of Winthrop who notes that another minister who was passenger in the Hector with Davenport arriving 26 June 1637, was not Cobbett, or the Governor would have named him, yet the New Haven tradition as if the brother of their Governor Eaton were that minister bears high probability. Cobbett was administered freeman 2 May

1638, though the prefix of respect is wanted in the record unmarried on his arrival. I am not able to tell even what wife he found here, but her baptized name was Elizabeth, and their children Samuel Cobbett, Harvard College 1663; Thomas; Elizabeth; John; and Eliezer, who died of consumption. After long service at Lynn, he removed to Ipswich to fill the place of Nathaniel Rogers in 1656, and there was minister to his death 5 November 1685, though with his usual license Mather says "about the beginning of the year 1686." Magnalia III. 166. Lewis, History of Lynn, 140-3, and the diligence of Kimball, Eccl. History Ipswich, 19-21, leave us ignorant of many details that should be desired of so famous a divine.

THOMAS COBBETT, Ipswich, son of the preceding, taken by the Indians in Philip's war, as in Hubbard may be read; and slight account of his redemption may be gathered from the Magnalia, and most abundant from the narrative by the father in Genealogical Registrar VII. 215-7.

EDWARD COBBLE, Salisbury, by wife Judith, had Edward, born 17 January 1652, died young; Mary, 1 November 1653; Benjamin, 3 March 1655; Sarah, March 1657; Judith, 5 May 1659; Elizabeth, 19 April 1663; and Edward, again, 28 September 1666.

JOSIAH COBHAM, Salisbury, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 25 August 1640; Joseph, 12 April 1642; Martha, 3 July 1643; Moses, 3 November 1645; Sarah, 25 November 1646; Joshua, 15 March 1648; and Martha, 21 May 1652; was a webster, and removed 1659 to Boston.

JOSIAH COBHAM, Boston, clothier, called junior 1666, was, perhaps, son of the preceding.

JOHN COBLEICH, Swanzey, by wife Mary, had John, born 5 January 1673. This name, if not an impossible one, must be very rare. In his large account of the early settlement at Swanzey, Baylies has not given it. Perhaps the Indians war extinguished within three years our means of verification or amendment. But at Hardwick was a Cobleight about 100 years ago.

JOSEPH COCK, Boston, married 10 November 1659, Susanna Upshall, daughter of Nicholas Upshall. See Cox.

WILLIAM COCKERILL, Hingham 1635, removed to Salem, there died 1661. Elizabeth, perhaps his widow, died at Salem June 1664.

WILLIAM COCKERUM, Hingham 1635, went home, and came again, 1637 in the Mary Ann of Yarmouth, when he called himself of Southold, in Suffolk, mercer, aged 28, with Christian, his wife 26, two children and two servants, was freeman 13 March 1639, sailed for home, again, 3 October 1642. By deed of 25 March 1657 he conveyed his estate to son William, who on 25 September following transferred it to John Tower of Hingham, as in our Reg. III. 62, 3, appears.

JAMES COCKSHOT, Haddam, died 1693, leaving widow Elizabeth, who died about 20 March 1700, at Durham.

JOHN CODDINGTON, Boston 1650, by wife Emma, had Sarah, born 4 October 1651, died young; John, 9 February 1654; perhaps Henry, older than either. He died 18 August 1655 and his widow married 7 May following John Jepson or Jephson.

JOHN CODDINGTON, Boston, son of the preceding, married Hannah Gardner, daughter of Richard Gardner of Charlestown; and his half brother John Jepson married Ruth Gardner, another daughter of Richard Gardner. In record of deeds this name is Cuddington.

JOHN CODDINGTON Newport, son of William Coddington the first, died 1 June 1680, probably without issue.

JOSEPH CODDINGTON, of Block Island 1684, I fear, can have nothing more told of him.

NATHANIEL CODDINGTON, Newport, son of the first William Coddington, married Susanna Hutchinson, daughter of the second Edward Hutchinson, had Ann, born 26 December 1677; Catharine, 8 February 1779; William, 15 July 1680; Edward, 28 July 1687; John, 23 March 1690; and Nathaniel, 18 January 1692. To his son William, probably Callender dedicated his invaluable Century Sermon.

STOCKDALE CODDINGTON, Roxbury, where his wife Hannah was buried 20 July 1644, in advanced age, having died of apoplexy, as the church record tells, may have been father or grandfather of John Coddington the first, removed, and died about 1650.

THOMAS CODDINGTON, Newport, son of the first William Coddington, by wife Priscilla, had William, born 1684, died 19 February 1689; Thomas, 17 April 1687; and by a second wife Mary Howard of New York, married 22 January 1690, had William, again, 1 February 1691; and Mary, 15 January 1693; and he died 4 or 6 March following. His widow married 18 January 1694, Anthony Morris.

WILLIAM CODDINGTON, Boston, an Assistant of the Company chosen in England 1630, before the embarking of Winthrop with whom he came, had lived at Boston, County Lincoln, where the record of St. Botolph's church shows he had Michael, baptized 8 March 1627, who died in two weeks; and Samuel, 17 April 1628, buried 21 August 1629. His wife was Mary Moseley, daughter of Richard Moseley of Ouseden, in County Suffolk, and she died here in few weeks after arriving. On 1 April 1631 he left Boston, in the Lion, with his friends, Reverend John Wilson, and Sir Richard Saltonstall, soon found new wife Mary, and had a child in England 1632, and in May 1633 came again to Boston, here had Mary, baptized 2 March 1634; and Benajah, 1 May 1636. He was Treasurer of the Colony 1634, 5, and 6, and as one of the antinomical party left out of office next year but chosen Representative for Boston, and early in the following year went to Rhode Island, where he purchased with other heretics, which made him Governor. Perhaps he had other children in Rhode Island, by the second wife who was buried at Newport 30 September 1647; and in January following or perhaps 1649, he went again to England, carrying his daughter, and there resided some years, got another wife Ann, by whom he had William, born there 18 January 1651, unless this means 1652, and came back to Newport July 1651, arriving in November bringing new Charter of 3 April 1651, as signed by the Lord President Bradshaw. Other children by this third wife were Nathaniel, born 23 May 1653; Mary, again, 16 May 1654; Thomas, 5 November 1655; John, 24 November 1656; Noah, 12 December 1658; Ann, 6 June 1660, probably died young; and Ann, again, 20 July 1663. He was Governor again late in his days, having been many years withdrawn from public affairs, embraced religious views of the Quakers, by the persecution of which at Boston he was so much disturbed in spirit, as to write to his old friend Governor Bellingham and some of the councellors a letter of admonition 12 August 1672, which by Bellingham without communicating to the others was burned as Coddington says, wherefore he wrote again 20 October following by the hands of Leverett. See "Demonstration of True Love," written by Coddington printed 1674, a very rare tract. He died in office 1 November 1678, aged 77, and his widow died 9 May 1708, aged 80.

WILLIAM CODDINGTON, Newport, son of the preceding, perhaps born in England, was an Assistant 1680, Governor 1683 and 4, and died unmarried 5 February 1689.

ROBERT CODMAN, Salem 1637, had grant of Iand (and his family then counted four) and son Benjamin, baptized 14 November 1641, and in this year had grant of land at Salisbury whither he removed and there had James, born 15 April 1644; and in 1650 removed to Hartford, leaving Samuel Hall of Salem, his agent, and came not back to Massachusetts but removed to Saybrook 1654, and after to Edgartown, where he died 1678. He left two sons Joseph, a mariner, who died the same year with his father, and Stephen.

STEPHEN CODMAN, Charlestown, about 1680, possible son of the preceding, married 19 November 1674, Elizabeth Randall, had Stephen, born 16 August following who died at the age of 30 years and 8 months soon after his father; Elizabeth, 24 December 1677; Robert, 19 May 1680, died at 17 years; Joseph, 22 September 1682; Benjamin, 12 October 1684, who died at 4 years; Hepzibah, 5 December 1686; Susanna, 2 March 1690; both died young; Benjamin, again, 28 January 1694; and John, 4 October 1696; and died 5 April 1706, aged 56. His widow died 1 April 1708, aged 54. Their son John married Parnell Foster, daughter of Richard Foster, but I know no more, except that he was a Captain and died 1755, his wife having died 15 September 1752, aged 56.

WILLIAM CODMAN, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, several years before 1661, Representative 1672, and Assistant 1676. Of this name, the graduates in 1834 at Harvard had been four, and as many at the other New England colleges.

CHRISTOPHER CODNER, perhaps of Marblehead, died 1660, or, at least, Coffin found his inventory of that year. See Genealogical Registrar VI. 248. The History Collections of Essex I. 94, names his children Mary, 5 years old, and Christopher, 3.

EDWARD CODNER, New London 1651, had wife Priscilla, removed 1669 to Saybrook, there died 1670; but his son Lawrence continued at New London 1666.

GREGORY CODNER, HENRY CODNER, JOHN CODNER, and JOSIAH CODNER, with JOSIAH CODNER, junior, united in petitioning to our General Court from Marblehead, 1668; and perhaps the elder Josiah Codner was father of the other four; but of neither of them is any thing further known except that John Codner was of Manchester in 1686.

LAWRENCE CODNER, New London, son of Edward Codner, was engaged in lawsuit 1682.

PETER CODNER, Boston, a mariner, had, in 1674, wife Rache Neighborsl, daughter of James Neighbors, daughter Mary, born 3 September baptized with Rachel, 29 July 1677; Martha, 7, baptized 11 September 1681.

RICHARD CODNER, Swanzey, married 23 May 1671, Phebe Barton, daughter of Rufus Barton of Warwick, had Richard, born 11 August 1676; Elizabeth, baptized at Boston 3 February 1678; and Savory, 2 March 1679.

BENJAMIN COE, son of Robert, born in England, came with his father to Watertown, thence to Stamford, and after with him to Hempstead, Long Island, where he was among the earliest settlers, married Abigail Carman, and was at Jamaica 1660, where are still descendants.

ISAAC COE, son of Matthew, may have lived at Falmouth, but of him I know only that he married at Roxbury, 11 September 1706, Martha Ramsey.

JOHN COE, eldest brother of Benjamin Coe, born in England, went with his father to Long Island, and was of Newtown 1655, of Greenwich 1660, and that year was one of the purchasers of Rye, but soon went back to the Island, was a Captain and appointed a magistrate by Connecticut in 1664, chosen Representative perhaps soon after. His children were Robert, Jonathan, Samuel, and David.

ROBERT COE, Watertown 1631, came that year in the Francis from Ipswich, aged 38, with wife Ann, 43, by the record at custom house, and sons John, 8; Robert, 7; and Benjamin, 5; freeman 3 September 1634, removed to Wethersfield, 1635 or 6, after some years to Stamford, Denton, and last to Hempstead, or Jamaica, on Long Island, perhaps both, 1662; in 1664 he was betrusted with some power by Council and in New York jurisdiction made Sheriff 1669-72.

ROBERT COE, Stratford 1651, son of the preceding, by wife Hannah, had Hannah, born September 1651, who probably died young; Susanna, April 1653, who married about 1672, John Alling junior, of New Haven; Sarah, April 1656; and John, 10 May 1658; and died October 1659. This early death was lamented by Reverend Abraham Pierson in verses less distinguished for elegance than simplicity. His widow married Nicholas Elsey, and died 1702.

SAMUEL COE, Newtown, Long Island, son of the first John Coe, married Margaret Van Zandt, had Samuel; John, born 7 December 1719; Benjamin; William; Isaac; Matthew; Daniel; Margaret; Sarah; and Abigail; and died 1742. Jane Coe was a passenger in the Susan and Ellen from London 1635, aged 30; but whether maid, wife or widow is unknown.

WILLIAM COFFIN, Salem, perhaps was a soldier, when killed 29 August 1708, in the assault by the French and Indians on Haverhill. Of this name, twenty-six descendants of the first Tristram Coffin, graduates in 1828 of the several New England colleges, fifteen were at Harvard alone, seven of which as Farmer learned from Joshua Coffin were born in one house, three at Dartmouth, and none at Yale.

HENRY COGGAN, HENRY COGAN, or HENRY COGGIN, spelled with various other shapes in different records, Barnstable 1639, by wife Abigail, had Abigail, probably before settling at Barnstable; Thomas, baptized 1 March 1640, who died 26 January 1659; John, 12 February 1643; Mary, 20 April 1645, died in few days; and Henry, 11 October 1646; went home for a visit and died there June 1649.

We may see here how heedless the town record was kept, as our municipal assurance for the former is--b. 7 (9) 1636, i. e. the day after she was baptized and may doubt, whether that for the latter--14 (5) 1639, i.e. the same day as the baptism be wholly trustworthy. Possibly this may be true, as we know that in the case of Dr. Franklin he had the benefit of so early sprinkled, yet probably the distance from Coggan's house to the church was much longer than that of the father of Franklin, but in the earlier case, we see its blunder, and can readily account for it. Another wife Mary, died 14 January 1652, but he soon found consolation in marriage 10 March following with Martha, widow of Governor Winthrop, who before had been widow of Thomas Coytemore, and by her had Caleb, born 15, baptized 26 December 1652. But he had brought from England daughter Mary, and perhaps Elizabeth, unless this last were born at Dorchester. He died 1658, having made his will 16 December 1657 preceding in which wife Martha is provided for; also son Caleb, who died young; daughter Mary, that had been wife of John Woody of Roxbury, and was now wife of Thomas Robinson of Scituate, and had three children; and for daughter Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Rock; besides a gold ring for John, son of his brother Humphrey; and £20 to the church of Windsor. Of his will, a letter of Reverend John Davenport, printed in 3 Massachusetts History Collections X. 45, contains story of unusual interest.

He died 27 November of that year aged about 56 years.

Representative 1635, but in 1637, though he was guilty of supporting opinions of Wheelwright, was neither disarmed nor disfranchised, and even permited to continue, selectman very often. He died 1 August 1662, the date of his will, that is copied into Genealogical Registrar XI. 174. His children survived were Sarah Pierce, wife of William; Mary Turin, Turand, or Turell, who had been wife of John Barrell; and Elizabeth Paine.

WILLIAM COLBRON, WILLIAM COLBORNE, or WILLIAM COLBURN, Boston, perhaps son of the preceding, left at home at school, came in the James, 1635, aged 16, from London, and if so, probably died before his father.

ANTHONY COLBY, Boston 1630, probably came with Winthrop, number 93 on list of church members, may have been, 1632, at Cambridge, freeman 14 May 1634, removed to Salisbury, there, by wife Susanna, had Isaac, born 6 July 1640; Rebecca, 11 March 1643; Mary, 19 September 1647; and Thomas, 8 March 1651; but he had four other children earlier, of which two only are known by name, John, baptized 8 September 1633, the same day with Seaborn Cotton, and Sarah, who married 6 March 1654, Orlando Bagley.

Perhaps his widow died 24 June 1689, for Pike's Diary, on that day, mentioned death of a Mrs. Colcord. He had seven daughters of which Hannah married 28 December 1665, Thomas Dearborn; Sarah married 30 December 1668, John Hobbs; Mary married 28 December 1670, Benjamin Fifield; Mehitable married 20 December 1677, Nathaniel Stevens; and probably the others, Shuah, born 12 June 1660; Deborah, 21 May 1664; and Abigail, 23 July 1667; all died young, or certainly unmarried. Of three sons the eldest, Jonathan, died 31 August 1661, in his 21st year; the second was Edward, killed by the Indians 13 June 1677; and the other was Samuel. To support the reputation of the famous forged deed of Indians Sachems, that grant to John Wheelwright, and others, all the East and central region of New Hampshire 17 May 1629, more than seven years before Wheelwright came over the ocean, it was probated by oath of Wheelwright taken 13 October 1663, that he employed Colcord to purchase from some Indians the lands upon or near which he designed to found the new town of Exeter, a refuge from the intolerance of Massachusetts in 1638. It must be evident that though Colcord were competent to such dealing in 1638, he was less than fourteen years of age in May 1629, when Wheelwright was 20 years older, as he had taken his A.B. at Cambridge University 1614; and both would surely have been jeered by the lords of the forest for such attempt at a treaty.

SAMUEL COLCORD, Hampton, youngest son of the preceding, by wife Mary, had Jonathan, born 4 March 1684; and Elizabeth, 6 December 1686; was Representative 1682. Descendants are numerous in New Hampshire of which one, Ebenezer, died at Brentwood, 1824, in his 99th year.

But his will of 14 March preceding says, aged, about 86 years, no doubt he was too old to be exact. It mentioned wife Joanna. Thomas Coldam junior of Lynn, his son, died 18 March or May 1673. His will of 10 March preceding named no wife or children.

ABRAHAM COLE, ABRAHAM COALE, or ABRAHAM COALES, Salem, son of Thomas Cole, was a tailor, married 11 June 1670, Sarah Davis, had Samuel, born 11 May following, who died next month; Sarah, 29 August 1672; Abraham, 6 January 1674; and he removed to Hampton, where he took oath of fidelity December 1678, and in evil hour removed to Salem, and there his wife in 1692 was charged with witchcraft. Felt, II. 481. Yet if the charge imply, as usually it does, old age, she was very fortunate not to have been tried, were her husband the same man, called as witness so early as 1645; and in January 1633 she was liberated on bail by her husband.

ALEXANDER COLE, ALEXANDER COALE, or ALEXANDER COALES, Salem 1685, a Scot from Dunbarton, married Bethia, widow of Henry Silsbee, had only child Alexander, and died 1687, in his will of 24 June, probated 24 August of that year mentioned two maidens sister Ann Cole, and Jeannett Cole at Dunbarton.

Hamblen gives him other children: Thomas, and Esther, and says, Mary married 26 May 1681, Joshua Hopkins, and Ruth married John Young.

ELISHA COLE, ELISHA COALE, or ELISHA COALES, Kingstown, Rhode Island, probably son of John Cole, by wife Elizabeth, had Thomas, who died 1722; but others, earlier, or later, or both, he had, for in 1725, Dr. McSparran, missionary of the London Society for property Gospel baptized his wife and children John, Edward, Susanna, Ann, Elizabeth, and Abigail. He died early in 1729 at London, whither he had gone on a lawsuit.

EPHRAIM COLE, EPHRAIM COALE, or EPHRAIM COALES, Plymouth, about 1690, blacksmith, married Rebecca Gray, who has been thought daughter of Edward Gray, and he was supposed son of James; but neither of husband nor wife is the father ascertain.

GEORGE COLE, GEORGE COALE, or GEORGE COALES, perhaps of Lynn, was one of Lothrop's Company known as the Flower of Essex, killed at Bloody brook, 18 September 1675. Perhaps he was not killed but badly wounded, for in Essex Inst. II. 183, is abstract of his will of 8 November.

GILBERT COLE, GILBERT COALE, or GILBERT COALES, Boston, freeman 1677, by wife Frances, had Samuel, born 30 November 1678; but this was thought to stand for Colesworthy, among the frequent blunders of our Secretary of the Colony or his deputy, yet it is printed Cole in the list of members of Old South Church in Boston, administered 30 March 1677, being the same day, when Samuel Sewall, afterward Chief Justice, was recorded and Sewall follows next after Cole. See the note of Mr. Colesworthy in Genealogical Registrar VI. 389. In the Old South record Gilbert had Thomas (which by town record was born 14), baptized 20 June 1680.

JACOB COLE, JACOB COALE, or JACOB COALES, Charlestown, son probably of Isaac Cole of the same, by wife Sarah Train, daughter of John Train of Watertown, married 12 October 1679, says Bond, 606, where the date should be, I think, ten years earlier, had Sarah, Abigail, and Hannah, all baptized 23 April 1676; and Jacob, 18 February 1677. He had been a soldier in Moseley's Company in the great Narraganset fight, 19 December 1675. He died of smallpox, as did, probably all his children 1678.

JAMES COLE, JAMES COALE, or JAMES COALES, Plymouth 1633, first occupant of the little hill, where the early pilgrims had been buried, was that year at Saco, perhaps, as in Haz. Collections I. 326, or Folsom, 33, 125; by wife Mary, had James; Hugh, born about 1632, before mentioned; John; Mary, who married John Almy. He kept an inn from 1638 to 1660, and he was living in 1688, very aged.

JOHN COLE, JOHN COALE, or JOHN COALES, Boston, by wife Joan, had Sarah, born 15 January 1642; and John, 17 November 1643; and may have removed soon, or died.

JOHN COLE, JOHN COALE, or JOHN COALES, Salisbury 1640-50, perhaps came in the Confidence, 1638, and died 1682.

His wife Susanna and son William had administration.

JOHN COLE, JOHN COALE, or JOHN COALES, Eastham, son probably of Daniel Cole, married says Hamblen (in Genealogical Registrar VI. 44), 12, but Colony record has 10, December 1666, Ruth Snow, perhaps daughter of Nicholas Snow, had Ruth, born 11 March 1668; John, 6 March 1670; Hepzibah, June 1672; Hannah, 27 March 1675; Joseph, 11 June 1677; Mary, 22 October 1679; and Sarah, 10 June 1682.

JOHN COLE, JOHN COALE, or JOHN COALES, Boston, married 10 November 1659, Susanna Upshur, daughter of Nicholas Upshur; but this record is more probable of Joseph Cox, yet John and Susanna Cole by record had John, born 22 January 1661.

JOHN COLE, JOHN COALE, or JOHN COALES, Hadley 1666, freeman that year, is the same as Cowles. He was called farmer, to distinguish him from the other John Cole, the carpenter, when both lived at Hartford; and the object of change in surname was to prevent confusion but it has increased the evil. As well as the carpenter John Cole, this farmer had children John, Samuel, and perhaps others.

JOHN COLE, JOHN COALE, or JOHN COALES, Salem, married 28 May 1667, Mary Knight, had John, born 18 November following; Thomas, November 1669, died soon; Mary, 1 September 1671; and Hannah, 12 December 1674.

JOHN COLE, JOHN COALE, or JOHN COALES, Farmington, son of John Cole, the Hartford carpenter, may be the man, who by wife Rachel, had John, aged 24; Rachel, perhaps widow of Joseph Smith, 21; Samuel, 13; and Nathaniel, 11, when his will of September 1689, and his inventory of November following were brought in. But no slight uncertainty attends his inquiry.

JOHN COLE, JOHN COALE, or JOHN COALES of Farmington, perhaps son of the Cowles farmer, had Dorothy, baptized 3 July 1681; and Lydia, 22 March 1685. Under Cowles the cloud may be scattered or increased.

NICHOLAS COLE, NICHOLAS COALE, or NICHOLAS COALES, Wells, was constable 1658, had Jane, who married Joseph Litchfield, and next, 2 July 1698, John Heard of Dover. Perhaps he had, also,

NICHOLAS COLE, NICHOLAS COALE, or NICHOLAS COALES, of Wells, a soldier, killed by the Indians 11 May 1704. His name on Maine record appears Coole.

RICE COLE, RICE COALE, or RICE COALES, or RISE COLE, RISE COALE, or RISE COALES, abbreviated for RICHARD COLE, RICHARD COALE, or RICHARD COALES, Charlestown 1630, among members of the church of Boston precedes Reverend John Eliot, and he is of those dismissed October 1632, to form the new church at Charlestown with his wife of the odd name of Arnold, who does not, however, stand in the Boston list, was administered freeman 1 April 1633, and died 15 May 1646. He was son of Isaac Cole, and brought from England probably by his father. From the will of his widow called Harold Colles, made 20 December 1661, probated six days after, we learn, that he had son John, and also it names grandchildren John and Mary Cole, besides sons Lowden, and Pierce, who had, of course, married daughters, and grandchildren John, Mary, and James Lowden.

ROBERT COLE, ROBERT COALE, or ROBERT COALES, Roxbury, came in the fleet with Winthrop, requested to be made freeman 19 October 1630, and was administered 18 May following, removed perhaps to Salem, and to Ipswich, was often punished for drunkenness, yet in 1638 seems to be reformed if remission of fines may justly be thus understood, though it may only have been act of policy to ensure his removal from our jurisdiction. But at last he went to Providence, was reformed in earnest, and became one of the founders of the first Baptist Church there. By wife Mary, he had John, besides Daniel, Nathaniel, Robert, and daughters Sarah, perhaps youngest; Ann, who married Henry Townsend; Elizabeth, who married John Townsend; both from Long Island, where Quakers were persecuted by the Dutch. He died before 18 October 1654, when the town council exercised their duty of making distribution of his property in the way he should have made his will. The widow married Matthias Harvey, and removed to Oyster Bay, Long Island, with her sons Nathaniel and Daniel, and the two daughters that married Townsend following.

SAMUEL COLE, SAMUEL COALE, or SAMUEL COALES, Boston, came in the fleet with Winthrop, and with his wife Ann joined the church as numbers 40 and 41 of the members, desired administration as freeman 19 October 1630, and was sworn 18 May following, and of Artillery Company 1637, being one of its founders. The first house of entertainment in Boston was opened by him 1638. His wife died early, and how many children she had is not certain, but probably the second wife who was widow Margaret Green, and his third, married 16 October 1660, Ann, widow of Robert Keayne, gave him none. The will, of 21 December 1666, probated 13 February following, speaks of son John; daughters Elizabeth, wife of Edward Weeden; Mary, wife of Edmund Jackson, and his children by her, Elisha, and Elizabeth, grandchild Sarah, wife of John Senter; grandson Samuel, eldest son of his son John; and grandchild Samuel Royal, child of Phebe Green, daughter of his second wife, that was wife of William Royal; so that we may well infer, that most of his own children, if not all, were born in England.

It was made 22 September 1727, and probated 18 September 1734. Three of this name were in the list of graduates at Harvard 1834, and six at other New England colleges, some having a after o, and some final s, which it is beyond my power to discriminate.

He removed to Nantucket before 1663, there died 1682, aged 80. Perhaps Susanna, who died 2 January 1643, was his daughter. Coffin says he spelled his name "Coultman," but in my opinion it was Coaleman, or Coulman, as in old writing e is frequently taken for t, and u for a is common enough error in modern.

THOMAS COLLIER, Hingham 1635, freeman 1646, died 6 April 1647, the date of his will, as in Genealogical Registrar VII. 173, 4, appears (though IX. 172, the abstract of record of death is one year earlier), aged 71, leaving wife and daughter Susanna, sons Moses and Thomas.

WILLIAM COLLIER, Duxbury, a merchant of London, came 1633, having for several years acted as one of the adventurers, and had so generous a spirit, as not to be content with making profit by the enterprise of the pilgrims, unless he shared their hardships.

CHRISTOPHER COLLINS, Boston, had, in 1640, grant of lot for 2 heads at Braintree; Saco 1660, was constable of Scarborough 1664, there died 1666, aged 58, under some suspicion of murder by a neighbor who on trial was acquitted, and the jury say, "the said Collins was slain by misadventure and culpable of his own death." He left good estate and sons Christopher and Moses. See the valuable History of Scarborough by William S. Southgate in Maine History Collections III. His widow Jane returned good inventory of £422, 14, 0, including 23 cows.

DANIEL COLLINS, Enfield 1683, died 3 May 1690, aged about 42, leaving widow Sarah Tibbals, daughter of Thomas Tibbals, who next year, married Joseph Warriner; and children Daniel; Patience; Nathan, born 1683; and Sarah, 1686.

EDWARD COLLINS, Cambridge 1638, freeman 13 May 1640, was Deacon, Representative 1654-70, except 61, lived many years on plantation of Governor Cradock at Medford, and at last purchased it, sold to Richard Russell 1600 acres, and other parts to others. Mather, Magnalia IV. 8, in his whole chapter on the twin sons John and Nathaniel, does not equal in value the few lines of Mitchell, from which we learn, his wife was Martha, and child Daniel, about 9 years old when his parents united with his church, possibly father of Phebe, who died at Cambridge 5 January 1654; lived at Koningsburg in Prussia; John Collins, Harvard College 1649; Samuel, lived in Scotland for some years; and Sibyl, wife of Reverend John Whiting, all born in England; besides these, Martha, born September 1639; Nathaniel Collins, 7 March 1643, Harvard College 1660; Abigail, 20 September 1644; and Edward, 1646, all baptized here. Abigail married probably in 1663, John Willet, son of Captain Thomas, who died about 2 February 1664; and Martha, it is thought married Reverend Joshua Moody. The patriarch died at Charlestown, 9 April 1689, aged about 86.

ELIZUR COLLINS, Warwick 1644, son of that widow Ann Collins, who married John Smyth, President of the Colony of Rhode Island, 1649. On the death of his mother's husband she and her son had the estate of Smyth. Of him I learn, that, in 1667, his age was 45; had married Sarah Wright, who brought him Thomas, born 26 October 1664; Elizur, 11 June 1666; William, 8 March 1668; Ann, 4 March 1670, who married 7 January 1686, the second John Potter; and Elizabeth, 1 November 1672.

FRANCIS COLLINS, Salem 1637, by wife Hannah, had Hannah, who married 30 June, though another account says 27 January 1669, John Brown of Salem; add, William, 9 September 1669, died soon; Abigail, October 1671; and Benjamin, 14 May 1674. Whether these children were all by one wife may be doubted, as also what Hannah Collins married Nathaniel Ingersoll; both these points having worried my conjecture asking permission in 1687, on the strength of his half century's residence to keep a house of entertainment, and ten years later a widow Collins, probably his, of the same town, had the same leave.

HENRY COLLINS, Lynn, came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 29, with wife Ann, 30; and children Henry, 5; John, 3; Margery, 2; and four servants, says the London custom house record; freeman 9 March 1637, died February 1687, leaving Henry, John, and Joseph.

HENRY COLLINS, Lynn, son of the preceding, had Henry, born 2 October 1651; Hannah, 1 February 1660; John, 19 August 1662; Sarah, 9 January 1666; Rebecca, 9 June 1668; and Eliezer, 9 October 1673.

Joan, probably his daughter married 25 December 1661, Robert Scamp, and died 9 November 1663; Mary, another daughter married 15 June 1665, Josiah Elwell; had second husband, and third, James Davis; died 9 March 1725; and Ann married 17 July 1673, Charles James, as Babson, 73, teaches.

JOHN COLLINS, Boston, brother of Edward, Artillery Company 1644, had, besides eldest son John, by wife Susanna, Thomas, baptized 5 April 1646, 7 months old, and at same time, Susanna, about 3 years and 12 days old; and Elizabeth, 16 April 1648, about 8 days old; was a shoemaker, and died 29 March 1670. In 1640 he had grant of lot at Braintree for 3 heads. His daughter Susanna married 25 March 1662, Thomas Walker.

JOHN COLLINS, Boston, shoemaker, son of the preceding, removed 1663, with wife to Middletown, thence, soon to Saybrook, thence, in 1668, to Branford, where he united in forming the church that year; was propounded for freeman October 1669, and by Hinman is named Deputy in October 1672, which is a mistake, thence, 1671, to Guilford, where he died 1704. By first wife who died 1668, he had John, born 1665, and Robert, 1667. His second wife was Mary, widow of Henry Kingsnoth, married 2 June 1669, had Mary; and he married 6 March 1700, third wife Dorcas Swain, widow of John Taintor, daughter of Samuel Swain.

JOHN COLLINS, Lynn, perhaps son of Henry Collins, mariner, by wife Abigail, had Margaret born 26 November 1656, died at 3 months; John, 17 December 1657, died soon; Samuel, 19 May 1659; Abigail, 23 March 1661; John, again, 10 September 1662; Joseph, 6 June 1664; Elizabeth, 8 April 1666; Benjamin, 19 September 1667; Mary, again, 20 February 1670; Daniel, 3 March 1671, Nathaniel, 1 April 1672; Hannah, 26 April 1674; Sarah, 28 December 1675, died within 6 months; Lois, 12 May 1677; Alce, or Alice, 30 April 1678; and William, 28 June 1679, who died soon. When the father died 22 December following the widow and twelve surviving children had a comfortable estate to divide. His daughter Abigail had married 18 July 1678, Andrew Townsend.

JOHN COLLINS, Cambridge, son of Deacon Edward Collins, born in England after studying at Cambridge, went to Edinburgh, was chaplain to Monk, before he moved into England for the restoration of Charles II; afterwards a minister at England and last in London, where he died 3 December 1687. In Hutchinson Collections are preserved four very valuable letters from him to Governor Leverett.

JOHN COLLINS, Gloucester, son of John Collins of the same, born probably in England, by wife Mehitable Giles, daughter of Edward Giles, married 9 March preceding, had John, born 12 December 1659, died soon; John, 1662; Ezekiel, 23 February 1665; Ebenezer, 5 February 1667; Samuel, 3 April 1671, died soon; Amos, 14 April 1672; and Benjamin, 24 January 1675.

His widow died 26 October 1709. Mary married January 1685, John Hamlin; Susanna married 26 May 1692, William Hamlin; and Abigail married 1702, William Ward; but she may have been daughter of Samuel.

PETER COLLINS, New London 1650, is not thought to be son of any in our country, nor to have had wife or children at his death May or June 1655, divided his property among John Gager and other neighbors.

ROBERT COLLINS, came in the Arabella, from London, 1671, but I know no more of him, unless he were father-in-law of that Daniel Rolfe in 1672, who was killed in Philip's war.

SAMUEL COLLINS, Middletown, brother of Reverend Nathaniel Collins, born in England, after coming with his father to Cambridge, there married before 1664, and had Edward, born 8 January 1664, went to Scotland, perhaps about 1658 or 9, came back soon, and was, perhaps, casually at Cambridge 1675, and Charlestown 1678, but sat down at Middletown, there was Representative 1672, and died 1696, leaving Edward; Martha, born 3 March 1666; Samuel, 21 October 1668; Sibyl, 25 February 1671; Mary, 16 June 1672; Abigail, 2 June 1673; and Daniel, 5 October 1675.

Of this name, in 1834, four had been graduates at Harvard, and fourteen at other New England colleges

WILLIAM COLLISHAW, or WILLIAM COWLISHAWE as church record has it, Boston 1633, came possibly at the same time as Cotton, with wife Ann, and Sarah Morrice her daughter, for the three were recorded into our church the month following, the administrator of our teacher; freeman 4 March 1634. No more is known

HUGH COLLOHANE, a strange name, seen nowhere but in the list of Moseley's Company December 1675.

BENJAMIN COLMAN, Boston, son of William Colman, first minister of Brattle Street Church, by Increase and Cotton Mather stigmatized as the "Manifesto" church preacher first at Bath, Ipswich, and other places in England, but was ordained for the society in Boston, 4 August 1699, at London, married 8 June 1700, Jane Clark, daughter of Thomas Clark, had Benjamin, born 1 September 1704, died in few days; Jane, 25 February 1708; and Abigail, 14 January 1715.

JOHN COLT, or JOHN COULT, Windsor 1668, lived to old age, had Sarah, baptized at Hartford, says Hinman, 7 February 1647, and several sons of which one or more settled at Lyme. In his second Ed. 672-8, Hinman gives many names of descendants yet with no precision of line. But the original is quite mythical. The settler was born in Colchester, County Essex, about 50 miles from London, came to Dorchester when about 11 years old, removed to Hartford about 1638, as says the book, with no inherent improbability, but it is sure to encourage distrust of such tale, that he is made great great great grandson of a peer of England who was dispossessed of his estate etc. Such examples may, I hope, be shunned and not imitated. Mr. Hinman had too respectable a name to encourage the relationships of such old wives' inventions.

JOHN COLTMAN, or JOHN COULTMAN, Wethersfield 1645, a schoolmaster, who had been a servant with Leonard Chester, or his widow Mary, who in her will of 20 November 1688, then widow of Honorable Richard Russell, remembered his service near fifty years before.

He next married 26 March 1685, Esther Mansfield, perhaps daughter of Samuel Mansfield, and had seven sons and six daughters by her, of who only Esther, born 23 October 1687 is known to me; but the last, his seventeenth child was born after his death 14 May 1713. His name is misprinted Cotton in Genealogical Registrar XII. 176, and repeated of course, in Index.

JOHN COMBS, JOHN COMBE, JOHN COOMES, JOHN COOMBE, or JOHN COOMBS, Plymouth, freeman 1633, is called gentleman. Next year had wife Sarah and son Francis, seems to have died before 1645, when William Spooner, who was his servant in 1642, was by the Court ordered to have charge of the children of Combs, and in 1666, the son Francis got grant of land in his father’s right.

DAVID COMEE, or DAVID COMY, Woburn, had Mary, born 30 January 1663; removed to Concord 1664, died 31 March 1676. His daughter Mary married 24 May 1688, Joshua Kibby. This may be the same name as the next.

JOHN COMER, Weymouth, perhaps the same as the preceding, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 10 July 1662.

JOHN COMER, Boston, was born 26 April 1644, as he said, but his father is not known, by wife Elinor, had John, born 12 August 1674; William, 28 November 1678; Thomas, 6 September 1680; and Mary, 16 December 1685.

His daughter Bethia married Daniel Stebbings.

CHRISTOPHER CONANT, Plymouth 1623, came in the Ann, had share in division of land next year but was gone in 1627, perhaps to Cape Ann, for he had not share in the division of cattle that year. But if he had gone home, he must have come back to our country, for he was on the first jury for criminal trial here, impanaled for the case of Walter Palmer for manslaughter November 1630.

EXERCISE CONANT, Salem, son of Roger Conant, freeman 1663, one of the founders of the church in Beverly, on which side he lived 1667, Representative 1682-4; had wife Sarah, sons Josiah and Caleb, removed in latter days to Windham, there, in part now Mansfield, died and his gravestone remains.

ROGER CONANT, Salem, was one of the earliest settlers of Massachusetts having been in 1623 at Plymouth, next at Nantasket, thence removed to Cape Ann, there resided between one and two years and removed to Naumkeag, about 1627. He was son of Richard Conant and Agnes, brother it is said of Dr. John Conant of the great Assembly of Divines at Westminster, though another account makes his father William Conant, born in the hundred of East Budleigh, baptized at the parish church of the same, in Devon, 9 April 1593; appointed 1625, Governor, agent, or superintendent for the Dorchester project of the plantation as Endicott, who superseded him, was, 1629, for the Governor and Company of Massachusetts before the coming of Winthrop, the first Charter Governor in the country. [Felt, I. 106. Hubbard, 109, 10.] Gibbs says his grandfather John Conant was of French, i. e. Norman, extraction. His ancestors for many generations having been at Gittisham, between Honiton and Ottery St. Mary's. He requested to be freeman 19 October 1630, was administered 18 May following, was Representative at the first General Court of Massachusetts 1634, died 19 November 1679, in 87th year at Beverly (which he earnestly desired to be name Budleigh). Young, Chronicles 24, gives him four sons, I think he had five; but even the assiduous fondness of Felt, in a Memoir of great diligence filling fourteen pages of Genealogical Registrar II. has not furnished complete family account. His abstract of the will, made 1 March 1678, refers to son Exercise and children; son Lot's ten children; grandchild John, son of Roger; grandchild Joshua Conant, whose father may have been John, or Roger; daughters Elizabeth Conant probably never married; Mary, who had been widow in 1662, of the second John Batch, now wife of the second William Dodge, and her five children; Sarah, and her child John and four daughters; a grandchild Rebecca Conant, whose father may have been either of the sons John or Roger; besides cousin Mary, wife of Hilliard Verin, but whose daughter is unknown; Adoniram Veren, and his sister Hannah, with her two children, and three daughters of his cousin James Mason, deceased, and it is equally unknown who she was. Of Exercise, perhaps the third son born at Cape Ann, about 1636, baptized 24 December 1637; Joshua; and Lot, above, is all that is known to me; John was of Beverly church 1671, probably died before his father; Roger, the first born child at Salem is spoken of next. His wife was Sarah, but neither husband nor wife united early with the church.

ROGER CONANT, SaIem, son of the preceding, the first child (said the record as early as 1640) born in Salem (though the claim has been by a recent tradition put in for John Massey), and had a grant of land on that score, says Felt; had John, baptized 26 May 1662, was of Marblehead, there died Saturday 15 June 1672, as his wife wrote in her Bible, still to be seen. His youngest son Samuel died not 9 May preceding as often said, but Saturday 4 May, as his mother wrote. 3 Massachusetts History Collections VII. 255. At Charlestown the family was continued. Four of the name had, 1834, been graduates at Harvard, five at Yale, and five at the other New England colleges.

ANANIAS CONCKLIN, Salem 1638, freeman 18 May 1642, had Lewis, baptized 30 April 1643; Jacob, and Elizabeth, 18 March 1649; removed to Long Island.

JEREMIAH CONCKLIN, Long Island, married Mary Gardiner, daughter of Lyon Gardiner, died 1712, in 78th year.

JOHN CONCKLIN, Salem, perhaps, at least he is in Felt's list, as having grant of land 1640, and he, and Ananias Concklin, probably his son, were there in 1645; was of Southold, Long Island, administered freeman of Connecticut 1662, as was John Concklin junior perhaps his son.

SAMUEL CONDY, SAMUEL COUNDY, or SAMUEL CANDY, Marblehead 1668-74, by first wife Rebecca, had Esther, who married a Green, perhaps Charles; and by second wife Ann, had Ann, who married a Salter, perhaps Matthew, as in his will of 9 February 1678, Essex Inst.

His widow died 12 April 1726. Often the name has double n, and sometimes in records is Cunney.

WALTER CONIGRAVE, Warwick, was on the freeman's list 1605, and soon after at Newport; but no more can be heard of him, except that he was Captain 1661; and so strange a name would be observed if perpetuated in any record, as it is when made worse in Colony record Rhode Island,, I. 455, where it is distorted to Cemigrave.

His daughter Mary married 19 December 1643, Simon Thompson, who died 1658; she married a Sheldon next year.

Mather, VII. Appx. art. 16. Niles. Hutchinson II. 67. 73. 88.

FRANCIS COOK, or FRANCIS COOKE, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 1620, with one child John; his wife Esther, and other children Jacob, Jane, and Esther, coming in the Ann, 1623, so that he counted six shares in division of lands 1624; and in 1626 was born Mary, and he had seven shares at division of cattle. He was called by Bradford, "a very old man," in 1650, which saw his "children's children having children" and had married in Holland a native of the Netherlands, of the Walloon church, was one of the first purchasers of Dartmouth 1652, and of Middleborough 1662; died 7 April 1663.

He went home, and was a Colonel on service in Ireland, there died or was killed 1652. His daughter Mary married it is said, Samuel Annesley, Esq. of Westminster, called "her mother's younger brother" with whom she was living 1691; and Elizabeth married Reverend John Quick of St. Giles, Cripplegate, London. Administration on his estate here was granted 1653, to President Dunster and Joseph Cooke.

GREGORY COOK, or GREGORY COOKE, Cambridge, shoemaker, by wife Mary, who died 17 August 1681, had Stephen, born about 1647; and Susanna, who died 13 November 1674; lived in that part now Newton in 1672; next year was of Watertown, yet had some years been at Mendon, was there selectman 1669; of Watertown again, 1684, and at Cambridge was selectman 1678, and after; married 1 November 1681, widow Susanna Goodwin, and died 1 January 1691, and his widow married 15 September following Henry Spring.

HENRY COOK, or C HENRY OOKE, Salem, married Mary Hale, daughter perhaps of second Thomas Hale of Newbury had Mary, born 15 July 1678.

ISAAC COOK, or ISAAC COOKE, Salem, married 3 May 1664, Elizabeth Buxton, daughter of Anthony Buxton, had Elizabeth, born 23 September 1663; Isaac, 9 January 1667, died young; and Mary, 12 November 1668; Abigail, 12 July 1670; Hannah, 15 October 1672; John, 23 March 1674; Rachel, 20 February 1676; Ebenezer, 24 December 1677; Samuel, 1 October 1679, who died the same day, as did three other children of his born last preceding in a few days after the latest. But the translation in Essex Inst. II. 42 may be good, and the record bad, as to a child coming between Abigail and Hannah.

JACOB COOK, or JACOB COOKE, Plymouth, younger son of Francis Cook, born in Holland, came with his mother in the Ann, 1623, married 1646, Damaris Hopkins, daughter of Stephen Hopkins, had Elizabeth, born 18 January 1648, who married about 1667, John Dotey; Caleb, 29 March 1651; Jacob, 26 March 1633, and lived to 1748; Mary, 12 January 1658; Martha, 16 March 1660; Francis, 5 January 1663, died soon, and Ruth, 17 January 1666. He married second wife 18 November 1669, Elizabeth, widow of William Shurtleff. He died 1676, and his widow married 1 January 1689, her third husband Hugh Cole, who outlived her. Martha married Elkanah Cushman, and died 17 September 1722.

JACOB COOK, or JACOB COOKE, Plymouth, son of the preceding, married 29 December 1681, Lydia Miller, daughter of the second John Miller of the same, had William, born 5 October 1688; Lydia, 18 May 1685; Rebecca, 19 November 1688; Jacob, 18 June 1690; Margaret, 3 November 1695; and Josiah, 14 May 1699.

JAMES COOK, or JAMES COOKE, Boston, died 15 December 1690. Perhaps he was the mariner, who married Sarah Very, daughter of Samuel Very of Salem, and she next married a Stover.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Plymouth 1633, called senior, probably removed 1643 to Rehoboth, is not known to have been relative of the succeeding. Perhaps he removed to Warwick, was town Sergeant 1651, freeman there 1655, and probably died that year, for his widow Mary married 1656, Thomas Relph. He left son John, and daughter Elizabeth, who married 24 December 1666, John Harrod.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Plymouth, called junior, son of Francis Cook, came with his father in the Mayflower, was old enough to be taxed in 1634 as high, as either his father or John Cook senior married 28 March 1634, Sarah Warren, daughter of Richard Warren, had four children living in 1650, says Bradford, 453; of which perhaps Esther, born 16 August 1650, was one; Mercy, 25 July 1654, another was Mary, 1657; at least one must have been married and had more than one child to justify the extra boast for old Francis to the letter, that in 1600 he "hath seen his children's children have children". Jane Cook, the sister of John, had done her part for the blessing, I presume; and his daughter Sarah married 20 November 1652, Arthur Hathaway; and Elizabeth married 28 November 1661, Daniel Wilcox. But in this branch the exulted phrase of Bradford fails of truth. He was Deacon but disagreed with Reyner; removed, and was minister of Dartmouth 1676, of where he was one of the first purchasers, and Representative 1673; and was living 1694, the oldest survivor perhaps, of the male passengers in the Mayflower; and died 23 November 1695. One of his daughters married Thomas Tabor.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Salem 1637, came, perhaps, in the Abigail, 1635, aged 27, freeman 18 May 1642, had Sarah, baptized 19 September 1640; Elizabeth, 16 May 1641; and Mary, 22 October 1643. He died I suppose, in 1650, when his inventory was brought in.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1655, of who I learn no more, unless that he had wife Ruth in 1682, then was 51 years old, and John junior, probably his son was 26, and other sons Joseph and Thomas, besides several daughters, and his will was recorded 1691. As early as 1647 he was made one of two "water bailies" of the Colony if there be no mistake.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, a young man, Winthrop II. 97, says, was killed by accident at Boston, 23 June 1643;

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE was at Windsor 1644, who may have removed to Stratford, and there was living 1667-77.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, son of Thomas of the same, freeman 1678, was "licensed" 1688, though for what purpose I see not. He may have been one of the chief men at Tiverton or Dartmouth 1686; then having a family there.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Salem, married 28 December 1672, Mary Buxton, probably daughter of Anthony Buxton, had Mary, born 11 November 1673; John, 20 August 1674; Elizabeth, 7 April 1676; Samuel, 3 November 1678, died next year; Joseph, 9 March 1681; Hannah, 9 September 1684; Lydia, 2 March 1687; and Isaac, 16 April 1689.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, of Boston, was of the vestry of King's Chapel 1689.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, a soldier in the Company of Moseley, December 1675, and again in Philip's war, 1676, at Hadley; may have been of Gloucester, married 2 February 1680, Mary Elwell, had John, born 20 November 1680; besides three who died infants, and Mary, born 1688. Babson thinks that his mother was that widow Rachel, who married William Vinson, but his father is unknown.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Middletown, at his death 16 January 1705, left children John and Mary of full age; Daniel, 14 years; Sarah, 12; Ebenezer, 7. His wife Hannah Harris, daughter of Captain Daniel Harris, could not have been the first. His will was made 15 August 1698.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Warwick, perhaps son of that John Cook, whose widow married 1656, Thomas Relph, went to New Providence, and there had children, as his wife Phebe alleged when in 1684 she obtained divorce from him.

JOHN COOK, or JOHN COOKE, Windsor, son perhaps of Nathaniel Cook of the same, married 1688, Sarah Fiske of Wenham, had John, born 1692; and no more is seen of him.

JOSEPH COOK, or JOSEPH COOKE, Cambridge, elder brother of George Cook, came in the Defence, 1635, aged 27. They were of Earl's Colne in Essex, and there had enjoyed the spiritual guidance of Shepard, who came in the same, was freeman 3 March 1636, Representative 1636-40, Artillery Company 1640, had wife Elizabeth, and children Joseph, born 27 December 1643; Elizabeth, 16 March or August 1645; Mary, 30 January 1647; Grace, 9 December 1648, died soon; Grace, again, 1 May 1630; and Ruth; all baptized at Cambridge. I think it not unlikely, that after administration on his brother's estate he went home.

JOSEPH COOK, or JOSEPH COOKE, Cambridge, son of the preceding, Harvard College 1660 or 61, remarkable as it seems that so early in the existence of the college each year should be entitled to one of this name, perhaps it may seem that the other was son of Richard Cook. But it is more strange that of neither is the date of death marked in our calalogue although both were gone in 1698. He married 4 December 1665, Martha Stedman, daughter of John Stedman, had John, baptized 26 January 1668; and Joseph, about 1671; besides Alice, probably youngest child, who married about 1694, Reverend John Whiting, and next, 19 May 1701, Reverend Timothy Stevens and bore children to both.

JOSEPH COOK, or JOSEPH COOKE, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, perhaps son of John Cook of the same, was Representative 1704.

JOSIAH COOK, or JOSIAH COOKE, Plymouth, married 16 September 1635, Elizabeth King, widow of Stephen Deane, daughter of widow Mary King, administered freeman 1637, removed with Governor Prence to Eastham, had Josiah, and Ann, who married 18 January 1655, Mark Snow, and died 7 July 1656; Bethia, who married 4 April 1660, Joseph Harding; and died 17 October 1673; and his widow died about 1687.

JOSIAH COOK, or JOSIAH COOKE, Eastham, perhaps son of the preceding, married 27 July 1668, Deborah Hopkins, had Elizabeth, born 12 October 1669, died in 6 months; Josiah, 12 November 1670; Richard, 1 September 1672; Elizabeth, again, June 1674; Caleb, 15 November 1676; Deborah, 13 February 1679; Joshua, 4 February 1683; and Benjamin, 28 April 1687.

JOSIAH COOK, or JOSIAH COOKE, Windsor, youngest child of Nathaniel Cook of the same, by wife Ruth, had Josiah, born 1690; Ruth, 1692; and William, 1695. His wife died 1697, and he married 1703, Sarah, but, perhaps, had no more children.

MOSES COOK, or MOSES COOKE, Westfield, son of first Aaron Cook, married 25 November 1669, Elizabeth Clark, daughter of Honorable Daniel Clark, had Elizabeth, born 23 August 1673, and Moses, 17 April 1675. He was killed in Philip's war 1676. The widow married 13 September 1677, Lieutenant Job Drake; and the daughter Elizabeth married 1693, Benjamin Griswold.

He was administered freeman of Connecticut 1650, and died 19 May 1688. The widow died 14 June 1698. Sarah married 30 June 1670, Samuel Baker; Lydia died unmarried before 24 years; Hannah married Thomas Buckland the younger, who died 28 May 1676; and she next married Joseph Baker, who died 11 December 1691; and she married third husband John Loomis; and Abigail married Joshua Pomeroy, and next, David Hoyt, and next, Nathaniel Royce.

NATHANIEL COOK, or NATHANIEL COOKE, Windsor, son of the preceding, had Nathaniel, born 6 April 1689; Sarah, 10 February 1691; Ebenezer, June 1692; Daniel, 9 January 1694; Lydia, 13 March 1696 or 7; Mary, 16 January 1701; Richard, 30 August 1703; Abigail, 12 January 1706; Elizabeth, 3 October 1707; Jemima, 23 September 1709; Benjamin, 26,Mar 1711; Joseph, 1 April 1713; and Aaron, 2 April 1715. Stiles has not named the wife or which that bore these; but mentioned the death of the father 28 February 1725.

NOAH COOK, or NOAH COOKE, Northampton, son of first Aaron Cook, lived at Hartford first, there married Sarah Nash, probably daughter of Joseph Nash, had Joseph, born about 1680; Sarah, about 1682; Elizabeth, about 1685; and at Northampton, had Mary, 12 March 1686; Noah, 1688; Miriam, 30 September 1690; Eliakim, 6 May 1693; Esther, 21 May 1695; and Aaron, 3 October 1697; and died 1 June 1699.

PHILIP COOK, or PHILIP COOKE, Cambridge, freeman 1647, died 10 February 1667, by wife Mary Lamson, daughter of Barnabas Lamson, had Mary, born 26 July 1652; Philip, 19 August 1654; Samuel; Hannah, 4 July 1657; and Sarah; all, except Philip, who probably died young, baptized at Cambridge; also Philip, again, baptized 5 May 1661; John, 30 August 1663; and Barnabas, 4 June 1665; as in matchless Mitchell's register appears. But it must be, that he had two daughters named Hannah, for town record shows daughter of Hannah, 13 July 1654, and birth of Samuel, 1655. Sarah died 12 May 1661. His will, of 18 July before his death disposes of children John, 3 years old; Philip, 5; and Hannah, 9; leaving widow Mary, to bring up others to trades. A discrepance between Mitchell and the inscription on gravestone of second Philip may be observed if Harris, 57, has correctly given it, that he died 25 March 1718, aged 55 years 10 months 25 days, so that by such computation he was born 30 April 1662. Probably the gravestone is false, Mitchell may be followed, and we may suppose he was baptized at 5 days old.

RALPH COOK, or RALPH COOKE, Charlestown 1640, may have had wife Sarah, administered of the church 30 November 1643.

RICHARD COOK, or RICHARD COOKE, Charlestown, came in the Jonathan, 1639, aged 31, joined with the church 30 May 1641, lived on Malden side, had wife Frances, and daughter Mary, born May 1649; was friends of married Matthew's preaching, and died 14 October 1658. His will names children of his wife by former husband Isaac, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Sarah Wheeler; but I think the sons were born in England. Elizabeth married 12 September 1659, William Greene; and Sarah married 18 December 1660, John Greene. His widow married 5 September 1659, Thomas Green; and his only daughter Mary married 1666, Samuel Green.

RICHARD COOK, or RICHARD COOKE, Boston, tailor, came, it is said, from Gloucestershire, freeman 4 March 1635, Artillery Company 1643, Lieutenant 1656, Representative for Dover 1670; by wife Elizabeth, had Elhanan, born 30 June, baptized 17 July 1636, died November following; Elisha Cook, before mentioned 16 September baptized 5 November 1637, Harvard College 1657; Elkanah, baptized 12 April 1640, but the town record gives a false date of birth; Joseph Cook, born 2, baptized 8 May 1642, who may have been Harvard College 1660, or 61; and Benjamin, baptized 4 August 1644, about 5 days old, died May following. His will, made 18 December 1671, probated 25 December 1673, names wife Elizabeth, and only child Elisha, besides brothers William and Walter in England. His widow died 7 October 1690, in 75th year.

ROBERT COOK, or ROBERT COOKE, Charlestown, freeman 2 June 1641, by wife Sarah, had Samuel, born 10 August 1644. I feel some hesitation in this case, whether he and Richard Cook were not one, for Richard is not in the Colony record as freeman which would not, however, be very surprised, though rather observed; but how Robert, whose name is not found in the church, was administered freeman is strange.

ROBERT COOK, or ROBERT COOKE, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, married 5 December 1678, Tamar Tyler, daughter of John Tyler of Bristol, had Mary, born 27 June 1682; Miriam, 9 December 1689; and Samuel, 19 December 1695.

SAMUEL COOK, or SAMUEL COOKE, New Haven, married 2 May 1667, Hope Parker, daughter of Edward Parker, had Samuel, born 3 March 1668; John, 3 December 1669; Mary, 3 March 1672; removed to Wallingford 1673, where the residue of his children named in his will, twelve in all, were born: Mary Ives, Judith, Isaac, Joseph, Hope, Israel, Mabel, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Elizabeth. A second wife Mary, he had, but we know not, which of these children, if any, were hers. He made his will March 1703, and soon died.

His wife died 20 June 1721.

THOMAS COOK, or THOMAS COOKE, Taunton 1639, proprietor with Thomas Cook junior in 1643, probably both removed to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, early, was called Captain, and in 1659, honored with commission to run the West line of the Colony.

THOMAS COOK, or THOMAS COOKE, Watertown, had died before 1647, and may be that mariner who died at Boston, February 1646.

THOMAS COOK, or THOMAS COOKE, Guilford, of whose early years I know not the residence, brought two children Thomas junior and Sarah, who married Thomas Hall. There he married 30 March 1668, second wife Hannah Lindon, who died 7 July 1676, and he died 1 December 1692.

HENRY COOKERY (an odd name), married at Charlestown, 22 October 1657, Hannah Long, daughter of the first Robert Long. He had second wife Mary Beaman, daughter of Gamaliel Beaman.

JOHN COOLEDGE, or JOHN COOLIDGE, Watertown, may be youngest son of William Cooledge, gentleman of Cottenham, County Cambridge, baptized 16 September 1604, son of good lineage; freeman 20 May 1636, selectman 1639, and often after Representative 1658, died 7 May 1691, left widow Mary, by her had John; Nathaniel; Simon; all, perhaps, born in England; Mary, born 14 October 1637; Stephen, 28 October 1639; Obadiah, 15 April 1642; and Jonathan, 10 March 1647.

BENJAMIN COOPER, Salem, was of Hampton in the East part of Suffolk, came from Yarmouth, in the Mary Ann, 1637, aged 50, with wife Elizabeth, 48, and five children Lawrence, Mercy, Rebecca, Benjamin, and Francis Fillingham, his son-in-law, aged 32, his sister aged 48, and two servants John Filin and Philemon Dickerson. Of the father or children we know no more, but the son-in-law and Dickerson are mentioned shortly after at Salem; he died soon, and his inventory taken 27 September of that year shows good estate.

JOHN COOPER, Watertown, died 1637, in his 80th year it is said. But this may be tradition error, for Thomas.

JOHN COOPER, Lynn, came, 1635, in the Hopewell, Captain Bundock, aged 41, with wife and children Mary, 13; John, 10; Thomas, 7; and Martha, 5.

JOHN COOPER, Weymouth, whose will in Genealogical Registrar V. 303, seems to show that he was only transient visitor in autumn of 1653.

He was Deacon, and buried third wife Elizabeth, 1 February 1681. Davis, in Morton's Mem. 442. Baylies, II. 198.

THOMAS COOPER, Boston, came, perhaps, in the Christian, 1635, aged 18, was probably early at Windsor, removed 1641, to Springfield, freeman 1649, a Lieutenant killed by the Indians 5 October 1675. His daughter Rebecca married 12 July 1677, John Clark of Northampton.

THOMAS COOPER of Boston, had probably married a widow Smith of Watertown, for Matthew Smith is called on the record of his death, son-in-law of Thomas Cooper in May 1658.

THOMAS COOPER, Springfield, son perhaps, of Thomas Cooper of the same, married 1659, Desire Lamberton, daughter it may be of that Captain George Lamberton of New Haven, lost 13 years before in the New Hampshire built ship going to London.

His widow married 19 December 1706, Peter Sargent, Esq. and next, 12 May 1715, Honorable Simeon Stoddard, not Solomon Stoddard, as Shattuck, in Genealogical Registrar I. 172, says. William was father of Reverend Samuel Cooper, Harvard College 1743, D.D. a distinguished politician, called "silver-tongued," and of William Cooper, the celebrated town clerk of Boston for 50 years.

TIMOTHY COOPER, Lynn 1637, died March 1659, had John, born 1647; Timothy, 1651; and four daughters.

WILLIAM COOPER, Piscataqua, one of the men sent over, 1631, or earlier, by Mason for settling of his plantation. Belknap I. 425; and probably Winthrop I. 120, mentioned the loss of same man in a storm. Six of this name had been graduates 1834, at Harvard and two at other New England colleges.

EDWARD COPE, Providence 1610, or probably earlier by 2 or 3 years. Sometimes this spelling is used for the family name of Copp.

JOHN COPELAND, Boston, came in July 1656, in the Speedwell, aged 28, from London, a Quaker. He was next year banished from Plymouth Colony and whipped in Massachusetts.

JOHN COPELAND, Braintree, son of Lawrence Copeland, by wife Ruth, had John, born September 1683; Samuel, 20 September 1686; William and Ruth, twins 5 April 1689; Lydia, 24 April 1692; Bethia, 19 March 1694; Seth, 22 January 1698; and Mercy, 10 December 1700.

LAWRENCE COPELAND, Braintree, married 12 December 1651, Lydia Townsend, sadly perverted to 16 February 1654, in Genealogical Registrar XII. 110, had Thomas, born 10 May 1652 [Genealogical Registrar XI. 334.] died next month; Thomas, again, 12 August 1654, or 6 or 8 February 1655; William, 15 November 1656; John, 10 February 1659; Lydia, 31 May 1661; Ephraim, 17 January 1665; Hannah, 25 February 1668; Richard, 11 July 1672; and Abigail, 1674. This last married 23 November 1715, says Thayer, but the name of her husband is, I think, an impossibe one. Ephraim, his son died unmarried of smallpox on board a ship of his fleet, before the sailing of the disastrous expedition of Sir William Phips, 1690; he died 30 December 1699, born says the record "in the reign of our gracious sovereign Queen Elizabeth, of blessed memories." Farmer, who was much indebted to Chief Justice Sewall's fondness for instances of unusual longevity, refers to his diary, as saying he was 110. Perhaps this is mistake. In the diary of Marshall, called Fairfield's by Dr. Harris, when he presented it to the History Society, I read, under date 1 January 1700 (so that it seems he was wise enough to be half a century ahead of the law in reckoning the beginning of a year)" old Lawrence Copeland buried aged 100 years, who died last Saturday." Marshall was a townsman, and his authority may be sufficient; but the gravestone also says 30 December 1699, 100 years old. His wife Lydia, died 8 January 1685.

THOMAS COPELAND, Braintree, son of the preceding, was one of brave Captain Johnson's soldiers in December 1675, married 3 February 1692, widow Mehitable Atwood, had Mary, born 24 November following, and his wife died 2 November 1695, aged about 30 years. His second wife Mercy died perhaps without children 20 February 1699; and he married 17 May following Mary Arnold, daughter of John Arnold, had Thomas, 10 April 1700; Sarah, 23 December 1701; Nathaniel, 30 April 1704, died at 2 years; and Elizabeth, 18 June 1706; and he died 6 June preceding.

WILLIAM COPELAND, Braintree, brother of the preceding, married 13 April 1694, Mary Bass, widow of Christopher Webb junior, daughter of John Bass, had William, born 7 March 1695; Ephraim, 1 February 1697; Ebenezer, 16 February 1698; Jonathan, 31 August 1701; David, 15 April 1704; Joseph, 18 May 1706; Benjamin, 5 October 1708; Moses, 28 May 1710; and Mary, 28 May 1713. Nine pages of Thayer's Genealogy are filled with descendants.

THOMAS COPLEY, Springfield, son of a widow Elizabeth, who married 1650, Nathaniel Phelps of Windsor, and with her husband removed to Northampton, where her daughter Elizabeth, married 1665, Praisever Turner, and second Samuel Langton in 1676, and for third husband had David Alexander. But the son was of Springfield 1672, married at Westfield, 13 November 1672, and had Thomas, born 28 July 1678; removed to Suffield 1679, there died 29 November 1712, leaving Thomas, Matthew, and Samuel.

DAVID COPP, Boston, son of William Copp, freeman 1670, by wife Obedience Topliff, daughter of Clement Topliff of Dorchester, who he married 20 February 1660, had David, born 8 December 1661, died soon; David, again, 2 March 1663; Jonathan, 23 February 1665; William, 14 March 1667; Sarah, 1 March 1669; and Samuel, 15 April 1671; was Ruling Elder of Second Church, and died November 1713, aged 78.

JONATHAN COPP, Boston, brother of the preceding, by wife Margaret, had Jonathan, born 6 April 1670; Moses, 19 June 1672; but the record also mentioned perhaps erronously Jonathan, 6 April 1672. The former child of 1670 may have soon died and Moses be a false entry. Yet it is doubtful. He was a soldier in Philip's war, 1676, probably impressed; represented in a petition that his wages will not maintain wife and two children. Many children he had, of which descendants are spread. A Jonathan Copp, probably his son, was of New London after 1700, had been at Stonington, married 18 August 1690, but he may have been son of the Ruling Elder.

RICHARD COPP, perhaps brother of William Copp, came in the Blessing, 1635, aged 24, but no more is known of him.

WILLIAM COPP, Boston, came, probably in the Blessing, 1635, a shoemaker, from London, aged 26, freeman 2 June 1641; by wife Judith, had Joanna, probably Ann and David, perhaps born in England; Naomi, baptized 5 July 1640 (the day after his joining with the church) who died 8 October 1653; Jonathan, 23 August 1640; Rebecca, born 6 May 1641; Ruth, 24, baptized 26 November 1643; and Lydia, July 1646. Ann married 11 August 1646, Herman Atwood. His estate was in part of that beautiful hill which bore his name; and he died March 1670. On 27 of the month following his will was probated, which had been made 31 October 1662, and David was executor.

SAMUEL CORBEE, or SAMUEL CORBY, East Haddam, son of William Corbee, married 28 January 1690, Mary Crippin, had Mary, born 13 November 1691; and Samuel, posthumous 10 December 1692; the father dying 10 April preceding. But some discord between rare records appear; and the date of marriage in Genealogical Registrar IV. 137, must be wrong.

WILLIAM CORBEE, or WILLIAM CORBY, Haddam, an early settler in 1640, was indentured servant of James Olmstead at Hartford; died 1674, leaving William, 18 years old; John, 16; Mary, 12; Samuel, 9; and Hannah, 6. Hinman, 20. The name has been written Corbey and Corbe.

ABRAHAM CORBETT, Portsmouth, disaffected to Massachusetts in 1665, when the royal commissioners came to New England, occasioned much trouble. Belknap I. 60-2.

CLEMENT CORBETT, Boston, married 7 March 1655, Dorcas Buckmaster, daughter of Thomas Buckmaster. See Corbin.

CLEMENT CORBIN, or CLEMENT CORBYN, Boston, in Muddy river grants, worshipped at Roxbury, where he had baptized Jabez, 23 February 1668; Dorcas, 13 November 1670; Joanna, 9 February 1672; and Margaret, 21 March 1673. probably he had others earlier.

ROBERT CORBIN, or ROBERT CORBYN, Casco 1663, a man of consequence there many years, married Lydia Martin, daughter of Richard Martin, had no issue, was killed by the Indians August 1676, and his wife taken. Hubbard, Wars, 33. Willis, I. 129. 143. Perhaps he was at Boston, August 1637, master of the Speedwell. Winthrop II. 348.

GEORGE CORLESS, or GEORGE CORLISS, Haverhill 1645, had wife Joane. His daughter Mary married 23 January 1665, William Neff, who died 1689, and eight years after she was taken prisoner by the Indians and partook in the heroic act of Mrs. Duston, and died 22 October 1722. Another daughter married Thomas Eastman; and another married Samuel Ladd; and Huldah Corless, probably a daughter, married 5 November 1673, Samuel Kingsbury. Descendants of sixth generations still living on his farm.

JOHN CORLESS, or JOHN CORLISS, Haverhill, probably son of the preceding, took oath of allegiance 28 November 1677, and perpetuated the family I suppose.

ELIJAH CORLET, Cambridge, son of Henry Corlet of London, bred at Lincoln College Oxford, where he was matriculated 16 March 1627, was schoolmaster from 1641, when New England First Fruits, written 1642, takes notice of his merit in that service until he died 24 February 1687, aged 76, as one account tells, or by another in 78th year. He was freeman 1645; by wife Barbara Cutter, daughter probably of William Cutter, had Rebecca, born 14 August 1644; Hepzibah; and Ammi Ruhamall, Harvard College 1670. This son taught the grade school at Plymouth 1672, and died at Cambridge in office of tutor, 1 February 1679. Hepzibah married 21 May 1673, James Minot, and, 4 June 1684, Daniel Champney.

GEORGE CORNELL, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, probably son of the first Thomas Cornell of the same, married Deliverance Clarke, daughter of Governor Walter Clarke.

THOMAS CORNELL, Boston 1639, removed to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1654, or earlier, was freeman there 1655, perhaps had Thomas junior of who perhaps that he was hanged for murder of his mother. Is all that is now wish to be known.

WILLIAM CORNELLY, Duxbury 1637. Winsor, 248, 306, with strange spelling at the first.

JOHN CORNEY, or JOHN CURNEY, Falmouth, had Elisha, born 1668; removed to Salem or Gloucester. Willis, I. 209. At Gloucester he married 18 November 1670, Abigail Skilling, had Elisha, born 25 September 1672; Abigail, 8 February 1676; and John, 27 September 1678, died at 2 weeks.

SAMUEL CORNHILL, or SAMUEL CORNING, Salem 1638, born about 1616, freeman 2 June 1641, was one of the founders of the church in Beverly 1667, had Samuel, who was of Beverly 1657; and Sarah, baptized 4 June 1643.

THOMAS CORNHILL, or THOMAS CORNING, Boston 1638, then allowed to keep an ordinary; had land at Mt. Wollaston, now Braintree, probably accompanied Mrs. Hutchinson to Rhode Island, thence to Long Island, and there, in 1643, was cut off by the Indians. Perhaps the spelling is sometimes Connell.

SAMUEL CORNING, Salem, perhaps had wife Hannah Bachiler, daughter of John Bachiler, as named in his will of 1675.

EDWARD CORNISH, servant of John Harris, embarked at Barbados, 28 May 1679, for Boston, in the William and John.

GABRIEL CORNISH, perhaps of Norwalk, son of James Cornish, married 1686, Elizabeth Wolcott, daughter of George Wolcott.

RICHARD CORNISH, Plymouth, of who no more is heard, than that he was there 1637, and descendants are still.

RICHARD CORNISH, Massachusetts 1634, surety for his wife's behavior [Hutchinson I. 436,] may be the same who Winthrop II. 210, tells of, as removed from Weymouth to York, there murdered 1644.

SAMUEL CORNISH, Salem 1637, had daughter Remember, baptized 3 May 1640; and Samuel, 14 March 1641. Possibly in Felt, I. 174, or Colony record or church record of baptism Corning and Cornish may be confused.

THOMAS CORNISH, Gloucester, married 4 September 1641, Mary Stone, daughter of John Stone, had John, born 1 September 1642; was of Exeter 1652.

THOMAS CORNISH, Boston, possibly son of the preceding, died 5 January 1724, aged about 75 years. His wife Martha died 8 January 1725, aged 66.

The widow died 1 March 1708.

He had third wife Martha, who was administered of the church at the village now Danvers, 27 April 1690, imprisoned in March 1692, convicted and hanged for witchcraft on the Thursday following. The suffering of her husband at the age of almost 77, he was the victim of that execrable fanaticism of 1692. When the preposterous indictment was read, he stood mute, though he had before said he was not guilty; and was, by force of sentence under the cruel old common law, pressed to death, Felt says, on 19th (other account 16th, which must be wrong) September, being the only person who ever endured that barbarous process in Massachusetts. On 25 July he confirmed the will made in prison 24 April preceding, giving estate to his son-in-law William Cleves of Beverly, and John Moulton of Salem. He was a member of the First Church by which of course he was excommunicated 18 September, the day before his dreadful fate; and so long did the infernal delusion last, that this sentence was erased by vote only at the end of 20 years, though in case of his wife, memory of another child, the malignity lasted but eleven years. Felt, Il. 475-85. Hutchinson II. 59. Calef, More Wonders of Invis. World, 217. 18. The late Honorable Daniel P. King of Danvers occupied the homestead of poor Cory. In Essex History Collections I. 56, is petition of his daughter Elizabeth, for self and other children. His daughter Mary married 29 May 1673, John Parker; Deliverance married 5 June, 1683, Henry Crosby; and Martha married Cleves.

JOHN CORY, JOHN COREE, JOHN COUREE, or JOHN COREY, and THOMAS CORY, THOMAS COREE, THOMAS COUREE, or THOMAS COREY, were of Chelmsford 1691; but I know no more of either.

Morse thinks him son of Isaac Cosin of Rowley, and that he had served in the war against Philip, though the two points are not utterly inconsistent. I look on their concurrence as improbable.

EDMUND COSIN, EDMUND COZENS, or EDMUND COUSINS, Boston, lived at Pulling point, married 1656 or 7, Margaret Bird, servant to John Grover of Rumney Marsh.

FRANCIS COSIN, FRANCIS COZENS, or FRANCIS COUSINS, was of Artillery Company 1640.

ISAAC COSIN, ISAAC COZENS, or ISAAC COUSINS, Rowley, about 1650, was from Marlborough, in Wilts, went to New London, where he had a grant of lot, 1651, but did not take it, and went back to Rowley; had wife Ann in 1658, on the Boston record of marriages (when the date is omitted though we may be sure it was 1657), called Hant, formerly wife of John Edwards; but on the same record it appears, that by former wife Elizabeth, who died 14 December 1656, he had Sarah, born 31 August preceding, and by wife Rebecca, had Rebecca, born 2 April 1660.

JOHN COSIN, JOHN COZENS, or JOHN COUSINS, Casco, in that part now North Yarmouth 1645, born about 1596, died at York 1689. Willis, I. 44. 55. 65. 231.

JOHN COSMORE, Southampton, Long Island, an Assistant of Connecticut 1647-58, except 51, 2, 3, and 4, when, perhaps, he was gone from this country. Strange is it, that we know no more.

WILLIAM COSSER, Boston 1657. Two Scots, of whose names I see not any other mention except that they were early members of the Charitable Society preserved in Drake's History of Boston, 455. Yet the name may be Courser, to which one of the references in the Index points.

WILLIAM COSTIN, or WILLIAM COSTING, Concord, had Sarah, and Phebe, 1642, perhaps was of Boston in 1654, called Castine, and at Wickford 1674.

JOHN COTHILL, a person named in Hutchinson I. 354, as one of Sir E. Andros's council but as no such name is heard of, we may fear this a typographical error, for Hutchinson could not be wrong on such a point.

JOHN COTTA, JOHN COTTY, or JOHN COTTEY, Boston, freeman 1671, married 1668, Mary Moore, daughter of Jeremiah Moore, Artillery Company 1679, died 20 November 1723, aged 77.

JOHN COTTA, JOHN COTTY, or JOHN COTTEY, Boston, perhaps son of the preceding, married about 1699, Sarah Wharton, daughter of Richard Wharton.

ROBERT COTTA, ROBERT COTTY, or ROBERT COTTEY, Salem, freeman 6 May 1635, probably had wife Joan and a son whose name is not given, baptized 28 January 1638; Bathshua, 24 March 1639; Mary, 20 September 1640; Peter, 1 May 1642; Obadiah, 10 September 1643; and John, 11 May 1645.

WILLIAM COTTER, New London 1660-8, had wife Elinor. They were married 12 May 1657.

GERSHOM COTTERILL, GERSHOM COTTEREL, or GERSHOM COTTRELL, Westerly 1679, probably son of Nicholas Cotterill.

NICHOLAS COTTERILL, NICHOLAS COTTEREL, or NICHOLAS COTTRELL, Newport 1639, freeman 1655, removed to Westerly 1669, and died 1715. His children were Nicholas; Gershom; Mary, who married Edward Larkin of Newport; Elizabeth; John; Samuel; Nathaniel; and Dorothy.

EDWARD COTTLE, Nantucket, had Judith, born 13 April 1670; Lydia, 17 May 1672; Ann, 3 March 1674; and John, 7 September 1675. Dorothy, perhaps his wife died 1 October 1681. But he had first lived at Salisbury, there, by wife Judith, had Edward, born 17 January 1652, died in few months; Mary, 1 November 165; Benjamin, 2 March 1655; Sarah, March 1657; Judith, 5 March 1659, probably died young; Elizabeth, 19 April 1663; and Edward, again, 28 September 1666.

EZRA COTTLE, Newbury, only son of William Cottle, married 6 July 1695, Mary Woodbridge, daughter of Thomas Woodbridge, had William, born 2 July 1696; Mary, 31 March 1698; and Edmund, 15 February 1700.

WILLIAM COTTLE, Newbury, came in the Confidence 1638, from Southampton, aged 12, as servant of John Saunders. He was son of Edward Cottle of the city of Salisbury, Wiltshire, who died 15 June 1653; had Ezra, born 5 May 1662; Ann, 12 July 1663; and Susanna, 16 August 1665, and died 30 April 1668.

JOHN COTTON, Boston, the most distinguished divine that came from England in the first age, born at Derby, 4 December 1585, son of Rowland Cotton, or rather Roland Cotton, Esq. was entered at the University of Cambridge, when 14 years old, bred at Trinity college where he took his A.M. 1606, became fellow of Emanuel, after spending as he says, fourteen years at Cambridge, preached at Boston, Lincolnshire, twenty-one years from 1612, being by the choice of the corporation made vicar; came with several of his parish in the Griffin, arriving 4 September 1633, with wife Sarah and their first child named at baptism Seaborn (from the circumstance of his birth), recorded at the church on Sunday following 8 September, on 10 October was ordained teacher of that church, freeman 4 May 1634, died 23 December (yet the old copy of town record of which I presume no original has been known for 150 years has it 15), 1652. His death ensued on taking cold in crossing the ferry as he went to preach a few days before at Cambridge. His will of 30 November of that year with codicil of 12 December mentioned the four children Seaborn, John, Elizabeth, and Mary, wife Sarah, and "house and garden in the market-place of Boston, in Lincolnshire" as well as the "small part of my house, which Sir Henry Vane built, whilst he sojourned with me," and at his departure, gave by deed, to son Seaborn; and also mentioned cousin Henry Smith, and cousin John Angier, with his wife and children all living at his house and kinswoman Martha Mellowes, who I judge to be widow of Abraham. But the name of grandchild Betty Day, in the codicil can only be explained by supposing that his wife had by former husband. A daughter who had married a Day and had this child. We know she was not grandchild in natural descent. He lived 18 years with wife Elizabeth Horrocks, and had no children; by second wife widow Sarah Story, who outlived him, and in 26 August 1656, Richard Mather, outlived him, and died 27 May 1676, had the son before mentioned, born on the ocean, 12 August 1633, baptized 4 days after reaching port; Sarah, born 12, baptized 20 September 1635, betrothed to Jonathan Mitchell, but died of smallpox, 20 January 1650; Elizabeth, 9, baptized 10 December 1637; John Cotton, 15, baptized 22 March 1640, Harvard College 1657; Mary or Maria, 16, baptized 20 February 1642; and Rowland, about 6 days old, baptized 24 December 1643, died of smallpox, 29 January 1650. Elizabeth married 12 October 1655, Jeremiah Eggington, died 31 August following having Elizabeth, born 15 August who died soon; Maria married 6 March 1663, Reverend Increase Mather, and died 4 April 1714. Twenty-one of his descendants in the male line (besides the many through male or female of the Mather blood, and many granddaughters and other females), had been, in 1818, graduates at Harvard of which two thirds were clergymen.

JOHN COTTON, Plymouth, son of the preceding, after being some years at Wethersfield, where he was executor of the will of Governor Wells, married 7 November 1660, Joanna Rossiter, daughter of Dr. Bray Rossiter, who outlived him, and died 12 October 1702, aged 60; was preacher at Wethersfield, and freeman of Connecticut 1661; but removed without settling back to his native town, had unhappiness of being excommunicated by his father's church for three aggravated offences, May 1664, I presume without public prosecution, and happily long after death of his pious father; but after open confession was restored next month, went soon and preached at Guilford 1664; ordained at Plymouth 30 June 1669, but when he had served near 28 years, was dismissed (Judge Sewall marks in his Almanac 29 Sept) 5 October 1697, under very unpleasant circumstances, went to Charleston, South Carolina, in November 1698, there was minister to his death of the yellow fever, 18 September following. A letter to his widow at Plymouth by his nephew Cotton Mather, of 23 October following mentioned arrival of news that "the horrible plague of Barbados was brought into" Charlestown "by an infected vessel," that about the end of September it had been there little above a fortnight, yet in this little time "had made an incredible destruction" "many above a hundred were dead," and that his friends wrote "that all the ministers in Charlestown were dead." Whether in this incredible loss, all the ministers were one, or two, besides Cotton, is not told; but in so small a city, I judge the smaller number most worthy of belief. Mather never cultivated precision or sobriety of narrative, and his word must seldom be taken as exact truth. No exaggeration of the suffered in the great mart of Mediterranean commerce, by the terrible plague of 1720, was attempted when history told how M de Belsance stood in his post of duty, and outlived the peril more than thirty-five years, though our great ethical poet immortalized the deed, without naming the prelate:

His children were John Cotton, born 3 August 1661, Harvard College 1681; Elizabeth; Sarah, 17 June 1665, died young; Rowland Cotton, 27 December 1667, Harvard College 1685; Sarah, again, 5 April 1670; Maria, 14 January 1672; a son 28 September 1674, who died soon; Josiah, 10 September 1675, died young ; Samuel, 10 February 1678, died young; Josiah Cotton, again, 8 January 1680, Harvard College 1698, well known in public offices of Plymouth County where he died 19 August 1756; and Theophilus Cotton, 5 May 1682, Harvard College 1701. Of these children John Cotton was minister of Yarmouth, colleague with Thornton, and by wife Sarah Hubbard, daughter of Richard Hubbard of Ipswich, had seven daughters, and died 21 February 1706; Elizabeth married Reverend James Alling, and 2nd his successor, Reverend Caleb Cushing of Salisbury, as Rowland Cotton, minister of Sandwich, ordained 2 November 1694, by wife Elizabeth Saltonstall, only daughter of Nathaniel Saltonstall, and widow of Reverend John Denison, had, besides four daughters and son Rowland Cotton, Harvard College 1719, four other sons John, Nathaniel, Josiah, and Ward, all ministers, and died 22 March 1722, and his widow died 8 July 1726, at Boston; Josiah Cotton, by son Reverend John Cotton of Halifax, was head of an excellent line, including Reverend Ward and Reverend Josiah Cotton; and Theophilus Cotton, minister of Hampton Falls, ordained 2 January 1712, died 18 August 1726, had two wives but no children.

JOHN COTTON, Hampton, son of Reverend Seaborn Cotton, succeeded his father after long interval, ordained 19 November 1696, died 27 March 1710, by wife Ann Lake, daughter of Captain Thomas Lake of Boston, married 17 August 1686, had John, born 5 September 1687, died young; Mary, 5 November 1689, Dorothy, 16 July 1693; Thomas, 28 October 1695, baptized 26 April 1696, when his father was of Boston; Ann, 13 November 1697; Simon, 21 December 1701; and Samuel and Lydia, twins of which the last three died young.

LEBRON COTTON is the strange reading in the valuable History of Windsor, 574, by Stiles, for the ensuing.

SEABORN COTTON, Hampton, eldest son of first John Cotton, born 12 August as is said, by me, without proof, by the authority of diligent Mr. Thornton, in the pedigree, Genealogical Registrar I. 164, on the passage, but baptized in Boston, 8 September 1633, Harvard College 1651, freeman 1655, married 14 June 1654, Dorothy Bradstreet, eldest daughter of Governor Bradstreet, who died 26 February 1672, had Dorothy, born 11 November 1656; John Cotton, 8 May 1658, Harvard College 1678, before mentioned; Sarah, 22 February 1660, died soon; Ann, 22 August 1661; Sarah, 2 July 1663; Elizabeth, 13 August 1665; Mercy, 3 November 1666; Abiah, 5 April 1669, died soon; and Mary, 22 April 1670. He for second wife married 9 July 1673, Prudence Wade, daughter of Jonathan Wade of Ipswich, and widow of Dr. Anthony Crosby of Rowley, had Rowland Cotton, born 29 August 1674, Harvard College 1696; and Wade, 6 October 1676, died young. He had probably preached at Windsor, and other places, but was ordained at Hampton after long trial, 1660, and he died 19, was buried 23 April 1686. Of these children, Dorothy married Joseph Smith; Ann married a Carr, and, next, a Johnson, and died 7 December 1702 at Boston; Sarah married 27 August 1680, Richard Pierce of Boston, and died 2 August 1690; Elizabeth married Reverend William Williams of Hatfield; Mercy married Peter Tufts, father of Reverend John Tufts, Harvard College 1708; Mary married first, John Atwater of Salem, and, next, Samuel Partridge of Hadley; and Rowland Cotton, who had entered college in 1692, left for ill health, went to England and Holland to acquire skill in medicine, had a degree in it, and was a physician at the Isle of Wight. But in the Diary of his nephew the diligent Registrar of Plymouth, he is said to have been a minister, settled at Warminster, in Wilts, and died 1753. In the copious progeny of famous Cotton, of the second and third generations, it is quite observed how small is the proportion of those who passed middle age.

THOMAS COTTON, Roxbury, had Thomas, born 21 April 1664, may be he who died at Chelmsford, 30 September 1687.

WILLIAM COTTON, Boston, a butcher, may have been before joining our church in May 1647, first at Gloucester, for one William, either this or the next, owned land in 1642, at that p]ace, where no more is told of him, born about 1610, freeman 1647, Artillery Company 1650, by wife Ann, had Mary, born December 1641; John, December 1643; William, 31 May 1646, died young; the three baptized 16 May 1647; Sarah, 19 March 1649; William, again, 23 February 1651, who died at 6 months; Rebecca, 2 January 1653; William, again, 4 February 1655; Thomas, 18 January 1657; Hannah, 1660; and Benjamin, baptized 25 March 1666. John, his son may have been of Concord 1665, and 1679, perhaps the freeman of 1680, belonged to Second Church of Boston. Mary, his daughter married 7 March 1660, John Matson.

WILLIAM COTTON, a witness, 12 December 1653, at Weymouth, to will of Joseph Shaw, is not known for any thing else.

WILLIAM COTTON, Boston, possibly the same as first, by wife Mary, had John, born 1666; and Jeremiah, 1670.

SIMON COUCH, Fairfield, freeman 1664. In the Colony record his name has an r.

THOMAS COUCH, Wethersfield 1666, and died there 1687; had Susanna, then 20 years old; Simon, 18; Rebecca, 15; Hannah, 13; Thomas, 12; Mary,, 11; Sarah, 8; Abigail, 6; and Martha, 3. Hinman, I. 27.

EDWARD COUNTS, Charlestown, married 25 February 1663, Sarah Adams, daughter of Richard Adams of Malden, had Samuel, born July 1671; Sarah; and Elizabeth, all baptized 10 June 1677. He lived some time at Malden.

ARCHELAUS COURSER, Lancaster, had estate in Boston, and, I think, was of Charlestown 1658, where the record has the name Hercules, removed to Lancaster 1664, or earlier.

WILLIAM COURSER, Boston, shoemaker, came in the Elizabeth and Ann, 1635, aged 26, joined with the church a week after Vane, but was not of his side two years later; freeman 25 May 1636, was allowed to be innholder, had Deliverance, born 4 March 1638; Joanna, 9 February 1640; and John, baptized 8 May 1642, about 4 days old, but the dates of birth suspiciously concur with the church record of baptisms and the originality of one or the other may well be doubted.

THOMAS COURTEOUS, York, freeman of Massachusetts 1652; and in 1680 swore allegiance to the King. WILLIAM COURTEOUS, Newbury, died 31 December 1654.

PHILIP COVELL, Malden, married 26 November 1688, Elizabeth Atwood, daughter of Philip Atwood of the same, had Sarah, born 13 April 1689; but in Genealogical Registrar VI. 338, his name is printed Fowle, as it had been page 336.

JOHN COWDALL, Boston 1644, married 1655, Mary, widow of William Davis, was that year freeman of Newport, and at New London 1659 and 60, but removed.

NATHANIEL COWDRY, Reading, son of William Cowdry, by wife Elizabeth, married 21 November 1654, had Samuel, born 16 May 1657; Elizabeth, 13 August 1659, died at 2 months; and his wife died a few days after. By another wife Mary, had Nathaniel, 18 August 1661; was Deacon, left widow Mary, who died 27 February 1729, aged 94, as is said.

WILLIAM COWDRY, Lynn 1630, was born about 1602, perhaps was of Weymouth 1640, removed to Reading 1642; there was selectman, town clerk, and Representative 1651, yet I find no administration as freeman; died 1687; had Nathaniel, Matthias, and Bethia, perhaps others.

EDWARD COWELL, Boston 1645, cordwainer, by wife Margaret, had John; Joseph; Elizabeth, born 17 August 1653, died next year; and William, perhaps the youngest, born 28 June 1655; was Captain some time in Philip's war; died 12 September 1691. Perhaps he took second wife Sarah Hobart, married at Hingham, June 1668.

JOHN COWELL, Boston 1670, blacksmith, son of Edward Cowell, died December 1693.

JOSEPH COWELL, Boston, cooper, brother of the preceding, married about 1673, Mary Carter, daughter of Richard Carter, widow of William Hunter.

JOSEPH COWELL, Woburn, married 27 February 1685, Alice Palmer, had Elizabeth, born 25 November 1686; Alice, 6 April 1689; Philip, 12 February 1692, died very soon; Joseph, 9 December 1694; Sarah, August 1698; and perhaps removed.

ISRAEL COWEN, Scituate, son of John Cowen, had Mary, born 1691; Hannah, 1694; Elizabeth, 1697; Israel, 1699; Jonah, 1704, died young; Gethelus (?) 1708; Job, 1713; Joseph, 1715; and Sarah, 1717.

Joseph was killed in Philip's war, at Rehoboth fight, 1676. Rebecca married 19 December 1693, Obadiah Hawes of Dorchester.

JOHN COWEN, Scituate, son of the preceding, married 1687, Deborah Litchfield, had Sarah, born 1688; Joseph, 1690; John, 1692; Joshua, 1694; Caleb, 1696; Israel, 1701; and Mary, 1705. Deane.

RALPH COWLAND, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in Dr. Stiles's list of freeman 1655, had married Alice, widow of Sampson Shotten, and by second wife Sarah, had Mary, who became wife of John Greene of Newport, and Sarah, daughter by the former husband of his second wife, married Henry Greene.

JOHN COWLES, Farmington 1652, Representative 1653 and 4, removed about 1664, to Hatfield, died September 1677, leaving widow Hannah, who died at Hartford 1684; and child Samuel, born 1639.

JOHN COWLES, 1641, of Hatfield, freeman 1690, who married 22 November 1668, Deborah Bartlett, daughter of Robert Bartlett of Hartford; Hannah, 1644, who married Caleb Stanley, and died 1689; also he had four daughters Sarah, baptized 7 February 1647, had married Nathaniel Goodwin of Hartford, but died 1676; Esther, 1649 married Thomas Bull, and she died at Farmington 1691; Mary 1654, who married as Porter writes, Nehemiah Dickinson; and Elizabeth, who married Richard Lyman. This person was thought to be brother of James Cole, and so was his own name; but the record varied to Coale, Cowle, Coales, Colles, Cowles, Coule, or Coules, the descendants have General adopted the w sometimes without the e. That John Cowles of Hatfield, second son of the preceding, had Hannah, born 14 November 1669; Jonathan, 1670; Samuel, 1673; John, 1676, died young; Abigail, 1679, died young; Sarah, 1681; Mary, 1683; and Esther, 1686.

EDWARD COX, EDWARD COCK, or EDWARD COXE, Boston 1672, mariner, had wife Margaret, and died June 1675.

FRANCIS COX, FRANCIS COCK, or FRANCIS COXE, embarked at Barbados, 25 August 1679, for New England, but he may only have been transient visitor.

GEORGE COX, GEORGE COCK, or GEORGE COXE, Salem, married 23 February 1668, Mary Mason, had George, born 24 November following; James 3 December 1670; and Mary, 20 June 1672.

GEORGE COX, GEORGE COCK, or GEORGE COXE, Salem, eldest son of the preceding, married Mary Ingersoll, eldest child of John Ingersoll.

MOSES COX, MOSES COCK, or MOSES COXE, Hampton 1639, then a young man, unmarried In 1657, his wife Alice, son John, and six other persons, going in a boat from Hampton 20 October were all drowned. He died 28 May 1687, "aged about 93 years" is the addition in the report, Genealogical Registrar VII. 117, the latitude of which phrase may justify a subtraction, if not of twenty, certainly of ten years. Alice, perhaps his daughter married 24 May 1662, Matthew Abdy; another daughter married Francis Jenness; and his daughter Leah married 13 December 1681, James Perkins of the same, and died 19 February 1749, aged 88.

NICHOLAS COX, NICHOLAS COCK, or NICHOLAS COXE, Boston, son of Joseph Cox, by wife Sarah, had Susanna, born 23, baptized 26 March 1693.

ROBERT COX, ROBERT COCK, or ROBERT COXE, Boston, mariner, freeman 1666, by wife Martha, had Elizabeth, born 15 April 1677.

THOMAS COX, THOMAS COCK, or THOMAS COXE, Pemaquid, with two others, named Thomas, took oath of fidelity 1674. Perhaps he had been driven by the Indians hostility to Boston, there, by wife Martha, had Jacob, born 4 January 1678.

MATTHEW COY, Boston 1653, came, it is said, in 1638, aged 15, married 29 August 1654, Elizabeth Roberts, had Matthew, born 5 September 1656; Richard, 6 September 1658; John, 2 September 1666; and Samuel, 19 February 1668.

MATTHEW COY, perhaps son of the preceding, had grant of a lot at Norwich 1685, that part now Preston.

RICHARD COY, Salisbury, brother of Matthew Coy, came with him, it is said, in 1638, aged 13, lived some years at Boston before and after 1650, when he was at Salisbury; there, by wife Martha, had Caleb, born 15 August 1666, was of Brookfield 1673, there killed by the Indians 2 August 1675. Perhaps he and his brother were brought by sister Mary Coy, who married John Lake of Boston.

THOMAS COYTEMORE, Charlestown 1636, son of widow Catharine Coytemore, whose family name was Myles, and her second husband Rowland Coytemore, but by former husband a Gray, she had Parnell, wife of Increase Nowell, and Catharine, wife of Thomas Graves; and by Coytemore, Elizabeth, who was first wife of William Tyng; all married in England before she came. Mr. Frothingham, 86, gives her another daughter Sarah, who married a Williams. She made her will 28 April 1658, and died 28 November 1659. He was of Artillery Company 1639, freeman 13 May 1640, selectman, and Representative that year and once or twice after, was master of good estate, an enterprising merchant, went in several voyages to distant lands, and was lost on a voyage to Malaga by shipwreck 27 December 1645, on the coast of Spain. By wife Martha Rainsborough, daughter of Captain Rainsborough, married doubtless in England, had Thomas, born 25 February 1642, baptized next day; and William, 6 February 1643 died in six days. His inventory shows £1266, 9, 7. His widow married December 1647, Governor Winthrop, brought him son Joshua, who died within two years, and married next, 10 March 1651, John Coggan, bore him Joshua, Caleb, and Sarah; and after his death in 1658, wished to be married again, as related by Reverend John Davenport; and, it is said, poisoned herself for ill success. The will of his mother aids our research for genealogy. Its date is 30 April 1658, and names the four children of William Tyng, who had married her eldest daughter Elizabeth; five of Increase Nowell; five of Thomas Graves; who were all the living grandchildren; besides the daughters Sarah Williams, to whom she gave land at Woburn; Parnell Nowell; and Catharine Graves, as also, Martha, the widow of Coggran, who had before been widow of her son Thomas, and of Governor Winthrop.

HENRY CRABB, Boston, married 1 January 1658, Hannah Emmons, daughter of Thomas Emmons, had Samuel, born 23 December 1659, named in the will of his grandfather Emmons 20 January 1661.

JOHN CRABB, Dorchester 1630, came, I presume, in the Mary and John, requested 19 October to be made freeman, but probably went home soon, at least never took the oath; though Dr. Harris, who finds him in town record 1632, says he removed to Connecticut. As this could not be before 1635, it is liable to doubt.

RICHARD CRABB, Wethersfield, was Representative 1639, 40, and 1; sold estate 1643, and removed probably to Stamford, and in 1655 was of Greenwich. See Hinman, 127.

JOHN CRABTREE, Boston 1639, a joiner, by wife Alice, had John, born 25 October 1639; and Deliverance, 3 September 1641, died within two years. He died late in 1656, and his widow married 11 February 1657, Joshua Hewes.

JOHN CRABTREE, Swanzey 1683, perhaps son of the preceding, married Mary, 1 November of that year, had Mary, born 20 May of that year who died in six days, if the Colony record be proof; but she probably was second or third wife, for the same Colony record shows he had Benjamin, born 12 October 1673.

GILBERT CRACKBONE, Dorchester, freeman 7 December 1636, removed soon to Cambridge, had, perhaps, the four, whose death is on record, Mary, 30 May; Judith, 1 July, both of 1655; Hannah, 24 September 168; and Benjamin, 27 April 1661; yet we know not, who was mother of either. But as he married 17 June 1656, Elizabeth Cooledge, it is clear the first two were by former wife; and of the last named we may doubt for two reasons, that in his register matchless Mitchell says: "his son Benjamin was about 5 or 6 years old, when his father joined here," though he leaves it uncertain how old he was when that was it. Still we might infer, that he was continuing in life. Next, we know that one Benjamin Crackbone was killed by the Indians 4 September 1675 at Northfield, under Captain Beers, and probably was this man's son. He died 9 January 1672. His will, of 28 December with codicil of 2 January preceding, names son Benjamin, and his children Joseph and Sarah. His widow was Elizabeth.

JOHN CRACKSTONE, or JOHN CRAXTON, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 1620, with son of the same name, died before end of March following.

JOHN CRACKSTONE, or JOHN CRAXTON, Plymouth, son of the preceding, had his share in division of land as a comer in the Mayflower, 1624, and in 1627 in the division of cattle with the Company of Allerton; but died in the following year from a fever brought on by freezing his feet, when lost in the woods, as Bradford tells.

JOHN CRAFORD, or JOHN CRAFFORD, Dover 1671, lived with wife Elizabeth, some years later at Portsmouth.

MUNGO CRAFORD, or MUNGO CRAFFORD, Boston 1686, a Scotchman, had been some years here, apprentice or a servant of John Smith, the mason, and this year was allowed to be an inhabitant, by wife Mary he had Elizabeth, born 19 May 1681, who died young; was, I believe, among the adherence of Andros, imprisoned April 1689, but did not go home, and is among the taxed 1695; by second wife Susanna, had only child Mary, who married Stephen Paine; and died 1712. The inventory of £109, 9, 10, had drugs and medicines for two fifths. His widow Susanna made her will 27 August 1713, probated 15 September after making daughter Mary and her husband Stephen executors, gives all to Mary, except £20 to each of the grandchildren. An early settler, Mr. Craford, probably of Watertown, had been drowned [See Winthrop I. 138], and Lieutenant Feale, and three other gentleman of that town, by order of 6 October 1634, were to the inventory of his estate for the Court.

STEPHEN CRAFORD, or STEPHEN CRAFFORD, Kittery 1640, died at Isle of Shoals 1647, leaving wife and one child.

GRIFFIN CRAFTS, Roxbury 1630, came, probably with wife Alice and daughter Hannah, in the fleet with Winthrop, freeman 18 May 1631; had John, born 10 July 1630, the earliest born in town record; Mary, 10 October 1632; Abigail, 28 March 1634; Samuel, 12 December 1637; and Moses, 28 April 1641; was Lieutenant, selectman, Representative 1663-7, Artillery Company 1668, and died 1690, leaving widow Dorcas, his third or fourth wife who died 30 December 1697; but he had former wife for he married 15 July 1673, Ursula, widow of William Robinson of Dorchester, being, her fourth husband; and in the record is Alice Crafts, died 26 March 1673, aged 73. In his will, made 18 May 1689, probated 9 November 1690, of which Samuel was executor, he names Abigail, who had first married 24 January 1651, John Ruggles, as wife of Edward Adams; Hannah, as wife of Nathaniel Wilson; and grandchild Ephraim, son of John. Apostle Eliot spells his name Crofts; in some other record e is used for s final; and often the first five letters made the name.

He is the man, called by Kellogg and Eirk (to whom Governor Endicot had issued warrant for arrest of Whalley and Goffe, the regicides), Dennis Scranton, when they made report of their unsuccessful errand. Of this document not exceeded in curious detail by ally in New England History, see Hutchinson Collections 334. Elizabeth married 1686, John Lee of Westfield, as his second wife, and Sarah married John Evarts as his second wife.

SAMUEL CRAMPTON, a soldier of Lothrop's Company killed at Bloody brook, 18 September 1675.

JEREMIAH CRANDALL, Westerly, son of John Crandall of the same, by wife Priscilla, had Jeremiah, John, James, Ann, Hannah, Sarah, Experience, Patience, Susanna, and Mary.

JOHN CRANDALL, Providence 1637, married Elizabeth Gorton, daughter of Samuel Gorton; and adopted his opinion I suppose, for in August 1651, he was imprisoned at Boston for a Baptist freeman at Newport 1655, removed to Westerly, preached as 7th Day Baptist, and died 1676. He had two daughters of which one married Job Babcock; the other, Josiah Witter. Other children were John, Jeremiah, Peter, Joseph, and Eber.

Perhaps he lived some years late in life at Taunton, for his son John there took his wife, and (which is better ground for the inferrence) there Samuel Hackett married 28 March 1690, his daughter Mary.

BENJAMIN CRANE, Milton, perhaps son of the preceding, was a soldier in the Company of brave Captain Johnson, and wounded in the desperate battle of 19 December 1675 at the Narraganset swamp.

THOMAS CRAWLEY, Exeter 1639, had several children of which the name of Phebe only is known. He probably went to Maine, where, in 1677, the Indians tenderness to one of the name is relative. Belknap I. 20. 147.

But one of necessity distrusts the names and dates of all these children except the first, because they so wonderfully concur with those of his brother William's children, and in his will of 10 February 1669, I find good reason, for he gives to his wife Joan, and to six children of his brother William, viz. John, Job, Samuel, Josiah, Elisha, and Joseph; made Job, executor and names no children of his own.

Yet that will was not probated before 26 November 1689, the same time with his will of 5 March preceding in which also are named the Ivory, Chadwell, Bailey, and Burrill connected with additional gift to "cousin, the eldest children each of Peter, Nathaniel, Samuel, and William Frothingham;" but the relationship is less easily discovered.

SAMUEL CROMPTON, probably a soldier, killed by the Indians 1675, was, no doubt, of a town in County Essex, since administration was given 21 December of that year to his widow Jane.

PHILIP CROMWELL, Dover 1657-74, married Elizabeth Laighton, daughter of Thomas Laighton, had Ann, born 19 August 1674; and was, probably too old to have more, called 74 in 1686. By former wife or wives he, perhaps, had enough children of who Sarah that married Timothy Wentworth may have been one.

His widow soon married Robert Knight of Boston, and shortly after his death 1655, married John Joyliffe. His daughter Elizabeth, married 18 August 1659, Richard Price.

See a valuable paper in Genealogical Registrar VI. 46, about his service as friend of New England. But I do not concur with the writer in claiming his son John Crowne, the poet, "as an American by birth" who in my opinion preceding the first coming of his father hither.

He was in London, as Colony agent, here he died of smallpox soon after arriving, and he had service as Commissioner of the United Colonies in 1657. Baylies, 1. 280. IV. 13-15. Mary married 1660, Robert Whitcomb of Scituate. He had taken wife in England, a daughter of Reverend Dr. Stoughton, as is inferred from a letter in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 101, and removed with Lothrop to Barnstable, but after few years went back to Scituate.

He was from Felstead, Essex, served as Commissioner of the United Colonies for Connecticut, and died at Boston 23 January 1663. His widow married Richard Ely, and much contention following about the estate. His daughter Elizabeth, married October 1671, Benjamin Batten of Boston.

SAMUEL CURRIER, Haverhill, married 1670, Mary Hardy, daughter of Thomas Hardy. He may have been son of the preceding Martha Currier, of Andover, was one of the victims of the baneful superstition about witchcraft, executed 19 August 1692, at the same time with Reverend George Burrows, suffered by the same horrid delusions. Yet her punishment was, to some extent, less than his, as the greater culprit met the malediction of Cotton Mather, the church inquisitor.

His widow died 6 February 1720. Samuel, who married 6 June 1711, Hannah Gore, and died 19 February 1772, had eleven children of which are numerous descendants in Boston and Roxbury. The sixth Isaac Curtis in regular succession, now enjoys his inheritance of the same estate given to first Isaac by his father for maintaining father and mother.

ISRAEL CURTIS, ISRAEL CURTICE, ISRAEL CURTISE, or ISRAEL CURTIZE, Stratford 1669, son of that lubricous John Curtis of the same (supposed to have been found as son of William Curtis of Roxbury), by wife Rebecca, had Israel, born 20 May 1668; John, October 1670; Stephen, 24 August 1673; Peter; Hannah; and Rebecca; and he died October 1704, as in Cothren is set forth.

JOHN CURTIS, JOHN CURTICE, JOHN CURTISE, or JOHN CURTIZE, Dover, administered an inhabitant 24 April 1636, but, perhaps, as no more is heard of him there, he removed to Roxbury.

JOHN CURTIS, JOHN CURTICE, JOHN CURTISE, or JOHN CURTIZE, Stratford 1650-85. Trumbull, I. 105, says he came from Roxbury; and he had John, born October 1642. But all of it seems erroneous. He was really son of the widow Curtis; had, says the preposterous tradition, daughter Elizabeth, old enough to marry John Welles, the eldest son of Governor Thomas Welles, bearing to him several children and, next, married 19 March 1663, John Wilcockson. Almost every word of Trumbull, and of Cothren, borrowed from Trumbull in relation to the Roxbury derivative of John, and William, is wrong; and must have been a tradition of the middle of the eighteenth century. Yet a true John Curtis of Stratford, by wife Elizabeth, who died as Cothren tells, 1682, besides that John of 1642, had Israel, April 1644; Elizabeth, May 1647 (who by the tradition became wife of John Welles, eldest son of the Governor bore him one son in 1648, the year after her own birth, and twins 1651); Thomas, January 1649; Joseph, November 160; Benjamin, September 1652; and Hannah, February 1654 or 5. None of this must be rejected but perhaps when Cothren added that he died 6 December 1707, aged 96 years old, and that his widow Margaret died 1714, acquiesed of our judgment would not be so easy.

JOHN CURTIS, JOHN CURTICE, JOHN CURTISE, or JOHN CURTIZE, Roxbury 1660, son of William Curtis, married 26 December 1661, Rebecca Wheeler, daughter of late Thomas Wheeler. He may have been of Dover 166?.

He was a Lieutenant, killed by the Indians in Philip' war, 9 November 1675, near Mendham. See Hubbard, 3. His widow prayed next year for assistance to her and seven children, but married 11 February 1678, Benjamin Gamlin of Roxbury, and had more children.

RICHARD CURTIS, RICHARD CURTICE, RICHARD CURTISE, or RICHARD CURTIZE, Dorchester 1642, freeman 1647, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 17 July 163. His wife died 28 May 1657; and he married 2 September following Sarah, had Isaac, 17 June 1658; and Joseph, 4 September 1661.

RICHARD CURTIS, RICHARD CURTICE, RICHARD CURTISE, or RICHARD CURTIZE, Salem, there had, by wife Sarah, Caleb, born 21 September 1646; and Sarah, 19 March 1650; both baptized 21 April 1650; Samuel, 1 April baptized 18 May 1651; Richard, 14, baptized 20 February 1653; Sarah, again, baptized 15 April 1655; Hannah, born 16 September 1656, baptized 25 January following; John, born 2 February 1659, died soon; John, again, born 4 June 1660, died soon; and Mary, born 11 February 1663.

His will, of 162, provides for second wife Lydia, the two sons and daughters: Ann; Elizabeth Brook, wife of Nathaniel; Mary Badcocke; and Martha Clark, wife of Thomas. So it is to be inferred that the youngest two daughters died before their father.

RICHARD CURTIS, RICHARD CURTICE, RICHARD CURTISE, or RICHARD CURTIZE, Wallingford, had three sons and a daughter who married Nathaniel Howe, but of the four, only Isaac is named. This father died 17 September 1681.

Elizabeth married 26 May 1674, John Stoddard; Ruth married Eleazur Kimberly, the Secretary of the Colony.

THOMAS CURTIS, THOMAS CURTICE, THOMAS CURTISE, or THOMAS CURTIZE, York, removed to Scituate, there had Elizabeth, baptized 1649; and Samuel, 1659, before mentioned; went back to York, 1663; had Benjamin, before removed first, probably there was in 1684. With spelling of Courteous he is seen swearing allegiance to Massachusetts 1652 in Colony record IV. part I. 12.

THOMAS CURTIS, THOMAS CURTICE, THOMAS CURTISE, or THOMAS CURTIZE, Scituate, son of Richard Curtis, married 1694, Mary Cook, daughter of William Cook, had Deborah, born 1697; Ruth, 1699; Mary, 1701; Thomas, 5 March 1704; and Ruth, 1711.

His eldest son William Curtis, who came in 1631, perhaps with Eliot in the Lion, was "a hopeful scholar, but God took him in 1634," says the church record. Thomas, died 26 June 1650, of "long and tedious consumption" says the church record, unmarried it is presumed. His daughter Hannah married 25 August 16 William Geary; and Elizabeth, married 14 December 169, John Newell. He died 8 December 1672, aged 80; and his widow died 20 or 26 March following aged 73.

WILLIAM CURTIS, WILLIAM CURTICE, WILLIAM CURTISE, or WILLIAM CURTIZE, Stratford 1642-1702, son of a widow Curtis that came so (I presume), from England with John and this son. By Trumbull, I. 105, said to have come from Roxbury, erronous as must be thought for his observation on John. But Cothern shows, that he of Stratford (who may never have seen Roxbury) was one of he grantees of Woodbury in 1672, though he removed not from Stratford, but there died 21 December 1702, in his will of six days preceding, named his children Sarah, who was born October 1642; Jonathan, February 1644; Joshua, October 1646; Abigail, April 1650; Daniel, November 1652; Elizabeth, February 1654; Ebenezer, July 1657; Zechariah, November 1659; and Josiah, August 1662. Who was his father is uncertain. His second wife was Sarah, widow of William Goodrich, but all the children were by first wife whose name is not seen. Both husband and wife died 1702, as is said.

WILLIAM CURTIS, WILLIAM CURTICE, WILLIAM CURTISE, or WILLIAM CURTIZE, Scituate 1643, brother of Richard Curtis, had Joseph, born 1664; Benjamin, 1666; William, 1668; John, 1670; Miriam, 1673; Mehitable, 1675; Stephen, 1677; Sarah, 1679; and Samuel, 1681.

ZACCHEUS CURTIS, ZACCHEUS CURTICE, ZACCHEUS CURTISE, or ZACCHEUS CURTIZE, Salem, came in the James from Southmpton, 1635, was from Downtown, in Wiltshire, had grant of land 1646, but probably removed to Gloucester, there by wife Joan, had Mary, born 12 May 1659, who married 19 April 1677, at Salem, Richard Friend. He had, also, Ephraim, who was administrator on estate November 1682, though the widow was then living.

ZECARIAH CURTIS, ZECARIAH CURTICE, ZECARIAH CURTISE, or ZECARIAH CURTIZE, Stratford 1685, son of William of the same, may have been of Bristol 1689, and one of Gallop's Company 1690. Of this name, ten had been graduates at Harvard in 1834, and nineteen in other New England colleges.

GEORGE CURWIN, or GEORGE CORWIN, Salem 1638, came with wife Elizabeth, (who had been widow of John White), and daughter Abigail from Workington in Cumberland, where he was born 10 December 1610, had John, born 25 or 28 July 1638; Jonathan, 1 November 1640, baptized 17 January following; Abigail, 30 November 1643; Hannah, born 1, baptized 4 January 1616; and Elizabeth, 2 July 1648. His wife whose family name was Herbert, it is said of Northampton, died 1 September 1668; and by second wife Elizabeth Winslow, widow of Robert Brooks, daughter of Governor Edward Winslow, married 22 September 1669, he had Penelope, born 7 August baptized 2 October 1670; Susanna, 10 December 1672, baptized January 1673; and George, born 1674, died soon; was freeman 1665, Representative 1666, 7, 9, 70, 2, 4, and 6, a selectman, Captain in Philip's war, and died 3 or 6 January 1685, leaving large estate. Abigail married 28 August 1663, Eleazur Hathorne, and, next, Honorable James Russell; Hannah married 29 December 1664, William Browne, and died 21 November 1692; Penelope married Josiah Wolcott; and Susanna married Edward Lyde of Boston, and died early. More information is wanted as to Abigail's second husband, than the Genealogical Registrar affords, as also for the marriage of Samuel Andrews to another child of Curwin's wife.

JOHN CURWIN, or JOHN CORWIN, Southold, Long Island, perhaps son of Matthias Curwin, freeman of Connecticut 1662.

JOHN CURWIN, or JOHN CORWIN, Salem, son of George Curwin, freeman 1660, Representative 1679, died 12 July 1683; married May 1660, Margaret Winthrop, daughter of Governor John Winthrop of Connecticut, who died 28 September 1697, had George Curwin, born 26 February 1666, who was a Captain in the mad expedition of Sir William Phips, 1690, against Quebec, and rewarded by him with Governor with the office of Sheriff of Essex in the cruel execution of that melancholy year of witchcraft, 1692, and died 12 April 1696. Other children were Elizabeth, 28 April 1668; Lucy, 1670; Hannah, 1672; and Samuel, 12 October 1674.

JONATHAN CURWIN, or JONATHAN CORWIN, Salem, brother of the preceding, freeman 1671, married 20 March 1676, Elizabeth Sheaffe, daughter of Jacob Sheaffe, widow of Robert Gibbs, had besides Elizabeth, born 5 May 1678; Sarah, 1680; and Ann, 1 August 1687; George Curwin, 21 May 1683, Harvard College 1701, minister of first church in his native town, who died 23 November 1717, the father of Samuel Curwin, Harvard College 1735, of whom a Memoir, illustrated with much felicity of the ante-revolution days, was published 1842, by George H. Ward, a descendant. He was Representative 1681, and 9, an Assistant 1689, named counsellor in the new Charter, was made a Judge for trial of witches 1692, of an unlawful special, Supreme Court, in place of Saltonstall; succeeded Leverett in 1708, in the legitimate Supreme Court, and died 9 June 1718; but Essex Inst. II. 229, says, 25 July.

MATTHIAS CURWIN, or MATTHIAS CORWIN, Southold, Long Island, had been early at Ipswich, it is said.

SAMUEL CURWIN, or SAMUEL CORWIN, Boston, died 16 November 1698. often this name is written Corwin, sometimes Currin, to conform to sound. The Curwens were a very ancient family in Cumberland; and the name being nearly or quite, extinct, it was assumed two or three generations since, by Mr. Christian of the Isle of Man, who was a member of Parliament of some distinction 60 years ago.

CALE CUSHING, Salisbury, son of first John Cushing, ordained 9 November 1698, married 14 March preceding, Elizabeth Cotton, daughter of Reverend John Cotton of Plymouth, widow of Reverend James Alling, his predecessor, had Caleb, born 10 October 1703; James Cushing, 25 November 1700, Harvard College 1725, minister of Plaistow; John Cushing, 10 April 1709, Harvard College 129, minister of Boxford; and died 25 January 1725.

DANIEL CUSHING, Hingham, eldest son of first Matthew Cushing, born at Hingham, England 1619, a wheelwright, came with his father 1638, freeman 1671, Representative 1680, 2, and 95, married 10 June 164, Lydia Gilman, daughter of Edward Gilman, who died 1689, had Peter, born 1616; Daniel, 168; Deborah, 18 November 1651; Jeremiah Cushing, 3, baptized 9 July 16, Harvard College 1676; Theophilus, 29 May, baptized 7 June 1657; and Matthew, 1 July 1660. His second wife was Elizabeth Jacob, widow of John Thaxter, daughter of Nicholas Jacob, married 9 March 1691, and she died 1725, aged 93. He died 3 December 1700, having as third town clerk of Hingham, rendered says Lincoln, for many years invaluable service to the model antiquary. I hope he recorded the names of his daughters if he had more than Deborah, married 2 September 1679, Henry Tarleton, and next, 31 August 1686, Reverend Benjamin Woodbridge of Bristol. The will of Cushing of 11 September 1693, written with admirable precision, yet with much minuteness, filled more than six close folio pages, is in our record XIV. 293. It provides for the recent wife, five sons, daughter Deborah, and her husband Benjamin Woodbridge, and sister Deborah, wife of Matthew Briggs.

DANIEL CUSHING, Hingham, son of the preceding, freeman 167 married 8 December 1680, Elizabeth Thaxter, daughter of John Thaxter, had Elisha, and probably other children.

JAMES CUSHING, Scituate, son of first John Cushing, was town clerk, had James, and perhaps more.

JEREMIAH CUSHING, Boston 165, son of first Matthew Cushing, born in England, a mariner, of who no more is known except by the will of his elder brother Daniel, the Hingham patriarch, it appears, that the estate of Jeremiah had descendants in part to that testament so that probably the Boston sailor had no children, though he had before 11 March 1662 married Elizabeth, widow of John Wilkie.

JEREMIAH CUSHING, Scituate, son of first Daniel Cushing, had preached at Haverhill, but was ordained at Scituate 27 May 1691, married 1 June 1685, Hannah Loring, daughter of Thomas Loring of Hingham, had Hannah, born 1687; Ignatius, 1689; Jeremiah, 1695; and Ezekiel, 28 April 1698; and died 22 March 1706. His widow married 1706, John Barker, and his son John married the same year her daughter Hannah.

JEREMIAH CUSHING Scituate, brother of Caleb Cushing, married 12 April 1693, Judith Parmenter, had Jeremiah, born 1696; Benjamin, 1700; John, 1703; and Ebenezer, 1710, perhaps removed, had a second wife married 1715, Ann Coffin, and, contrary to the opinion of Deane, had a family but the particulars are not known to me.

JOHN CUSHING, Scituate, youngest son of first Matthew Cushing, born at old Hingham, 1627, came with his father 1638, and married at Hingham, 1607, Sarah Hawks, daughter of Matthew Hawks, and in few years moved to Scituate, had John, born 28 April 1662; Thomas, 26 December 1663; Matthew, 23 February 1665; Jeremiah, 13 July 1666, before mentioned; James, 27 January 1668, before mentioned; Joshua, 27 August 1670; Sarah, 26 August 1671; Caleb, 6 January 1673, before mentioned Hawks 1692; Deborah, 14 September 1674; Mary, twin with last, died 1698, unmarried; Joseph, 23 September 1677; and his wife died 1679, probably at birth of Benjamin, 4 February; was selectman, Representative 1674, 6, 9, 82-6, an Assistant of Plymouth Colony 1689-91; and first Representative under new Charter of Massachusetts 1692, and 7, and died 31 March 1708. Sarah married 20 December 1689, David Jacob; and Deborah married 19 April 1699, Thomas Loring. Of Joshua, though he lived to 1750, we know not whether he was married and Deane says, he left no family. The youngest son Benjamin Cushing, was of Boston, a merchant, Artillery Company 1700, traded to Barbados, perhaps never married and is thought not to have left family.

JOHN CUSHING, Scituate, eldest son of the preceding, married 20 May 1687, Deborah Loring, daughter of Thomas Loring, had Sarah, born 8 January 1689; a s. died soon; Deborah, 4 April 1693; John, 17 July 1697; Elijah, 7 March 1698; Mary, 24 November 1700; Nazaeth, 11 September 1703; Benjamin, 17 April 1706; and Nathaniel Cushing, 9 July 1709, Harvard College 1728; and she died 1713. By second wife married 1714, widow Sarah Holmes, had Josiah, born 29 January 1715; and Mary, 24 October 1716; was Representative 1701, counsellor 1710-28, and Judge of Supreme Court from 1728 to his death 19 January 1738. His son John Cushing, also Judge of the Supreme Court was father of William Cushing, Harvard College 1751, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States appointed by Washington, who died 13 September 1810.

JOSEPH CUSHING, Scituate, brother of the preceding, married 1 January 1710, Mary Pickels, or Mercy Pickels, daughter of Nathan Pickels (Deane, 259, and 32, is responsible for both names), was a Deacon, had only son Joseph Cushing, Harvard College 1721, who was father of Nathan Cushing, Harvard College 173, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court.

MATTHEW CUSHING, Hingham 1638, from Hingham in County Norfolk, son of Peter Cushing, born in 1588, the year of the Spanish Armada, married 5 August 1613, Nazareth Pitcher, had, as by register of old Hingham appears, Daniel, baptized 20 April 1619; Jeremiah, 1 January 1621; Matthew, 5 April 1623; Deborah, 17 February 1625; and John, whose baptized is, I believe, omitted, and I have heard, that it was in a neighboring parish; came in the Diligent, embarked at Gravesend, 26 April and landed at Boston 10 August 1638, with that wife and those children. He is the ancestor of all the myriads of this name in New England and thence indefinitely spread; and died 30 December 1660. His widow died 1681, aged 95, as is said. Her sister widow Frances Ricroft came in the same voyage, but died in few weeks after arriving. In his will all the children except Deborah, who married May 1648, Matthew Brig, are named as living; and the share to this son-in-law was large.

MATTHEW CUSHING, Hingham son of the preceding, born in England, married 25 January 1603, Sarah Jacob, daughter of Nicholas Jacob, had Matthew, the freeman of 1679, and other children.

MATTHEW CUSHING, Hingham, son of Daniel Cushing the first, married 31 December 1684, Jael Jacob, daughter of John Jacob, had, besides four children who died very early, Solomon, born 2 January 1692; Job Cushing, 19 July 1694, Harvard College 1714, minister of Shrewsbury; Samuel, 14 February 1699; Isaac, 28 April 1701; and Jael, 14 February 1706. His wife died December 170?; and he died 23 June 1715.

MATTHEW CUSHING, Hingham, son of first John Cushing, married 1689, Deborah Jacob, daughter of John Jacob.

THEOPHILUS CUSHING, Hingham, came in the Griffin, 1633, with Governor Haynes, at whose farm he lived some years. He was from old Hingham, and died in March 1679, aged about 100 years. Of which he was blind for 25, had, it is thought no children.

THEOPHILUS CUSHING, Hingham, son of the first Daniel Cushing, married 1688, Mary Thaxter, daughter of John Thaxter, and this led, as in the early days was often found, to the union of the survived parents of the young couple.

THOMAS CUSHING, Boston, son of first John Cushing, married 17 October 1687, Deborah Thaxter, daughter of John Thaxter; had John, born 6 September 1688; Elizabeth, baptized 8 November 1691; Thomas Cushing, 4 February 1694, Harvard College 1711; Margaret, 19 July 1696; Deborah, 18 June 1699; Jonathan, 16 March 1701; Hannah, 17 January 1703; and Samuel, 14 January 170?; was of Artillery Company 1709, and member of the council. His wife died 16 February 1712, and he married 8 December following Mercy Wensley, widow of Joseph Bridgham, daughter of John Wensley, outlived him, and died 3 October 1740, aged 72. Thomas Cushing, his son, was speaker; as Representative for Boston 1742-6, in where he died, and father of the distinguished patriot Thomas Cushing, Harvard College 1744, speaker 1766, member of the Philadelphia Congress 1774, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts 1780-8, when he died. In 1838 thirty-three male descendants it is believed of first Matthew Cushing, had been graduates at Harvard of which nine were clergymen, and an unusual proportion served in highly important public offices.

ELEAZER CUSHMAN, Plymouth, son of Elder Thomas Cushman, married 12 January 1687, Elizabeth Combes, perhaps daughter of Francis Combes, had Lydia, born 13 December following; John, 13 August 1690; Moses, about 1693; James; and William, 27 October 1710.

JAMES CUSHMAN, Scituate, from 163 to 48, says Deane. His will, 25 April 1648, probated 24 May following names only cousin. It is not easy to offer a reasonable conjecture who he was.

ROBERT CUSHMAN, Plymouth, one of the most active promoters of the migration from Holland in 1620 of the pilgrims in the Mayflower, of which he was one, but when adverse circumstances compelled that ship to put back, he gave up his place for the good of other companions in the Speedwell, which was abandoned; came next year in the Fortune, arriving 10 November, the first ship after the Mayflower, with son Thomas Cushman, yet staid here only one month, went home in the same little bark, and came again no more. He had married at Leyden, 3 June 1617, Mary Singleton (on the Dutch record spelled Chingelton), of Sandwich, he being designated a woolcarder of Canterbury, both in County Kent. The first sermon preached in New England was by him, on the highly appropriate subject of self-denial. He was constant in service at London for the emigration, and in December 1624 spoke of his hope of coming in the next season; but Governor Bradford notes, that he was dead before receipt of his answer from Plymouth of June 1625; and his family came soon after to partake in the fortunes of the plantation. By General consent, he was assigned a share in the division of land with the comers of the Mayflower. Davis, in Morton's Memo. 128. Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrims 93. 249.

THOMAS CUSHMAN, Plymouth, son of the preceding, was brought by him, in the Fortune, 1621, aged 14 only, and on return of his father next month, gives to Governor Bradford, who brought him up, was chosen Ruling Elder 1649, after Brewster, and ordained 6 April. This "precious servant of God” died 10 December 1691, aged 83; by wife Mary Allerton, daughter of Isaac Allerton, the latest survivor of the blessed company of the Mayflower, who died 1699, aged 89, had Thomas, born 16 September 1637; Isaac, 8 February 1648, before mentioned; Elkanah, 1 June 1651; Fear, 20 June 1653; Eleazer, 20 February 1657; Sarah, who married 11 April 1661, John Hawks of Lynn, as his second wife; Mary, married a Hutchinson of Lynn, and was dead before 1690; and Lydia, who married William Harlow junior.

THOMAS CUSHMAN, Plymouth, son of the preceding, married 17 November 1664, Ruth Howland, daughter of John Howland, who died soon after, but had first brought him Robert, born 4 October 1664; and he married 16 October 1679, Abigail Fuller, and had Job, about 1680; Bartholomew; Samuel, born 16 July 1687; and Benjamin, baptized 1 March 1691. Twelve of this name had been graduates at the New England colleges in 1834.

CUTHBERT CUTHBERTSON, Plymouth, came in the Ann, 1623, and in the division of lands next season, was counted for six heads, if the record be right, yet at division of cattle, 1627, he, and wife Sarah, who I presume, had been widow of Digory Priest (that died at Plymouth 1 January 1621), and married 21 November following at Leyden, and son Samuel are all; but we may suppose, that some daughters had been married in the interval, and at this division are counted by other names. Sarah, his daughter married 1630, John Coombs, it is said, and another married Phineas Pratt. He was a Dutchman, united with the fathers at Leyden, and Winslow gives his name, as, perhaps, in earlier life, the man wrote it, Godbert Godbertson. He died before 23 October 1633, the date of inventory of both himself and wife so that she was probably dead a short time before. By descendants the last syllable of the surname is now rejected. Davis, in Morton, 379.

SAMUEL CUTHBERTSON, Plymouth 1643, son of the preceding, was one of the original purchasers of Dartmouth in 1652, and most probably had family beyond my knowledge.

DAVID CUTLER, Boston, son of John Cutler, the surgeon, had wife Ann, and two children whose names are not heard, died 8 October 1730.

JAMES CUTLER, Watertown, by wife Ann, had James, born 6 November 1635; Hannah, 26 July 1638; Elizabeth, 28 January 1640, died soon; and Mary, 29 March 1643. His wife died September in the following year, and he married 9 March 1645, Mary, widow of Thomas King, had Elizabeth, 29 July 1646; Thomas, about 1648; Sarah; Joanna; Jemima; John, 19 March 1663; Samuel, 18 November 1664; Phebe; and, perhaps, one or more of the latest were by third wife Phebe Page, daughter of John Page. He had removed 1648 to an outlying plantation called Cambridge Farms, now Lexington, and there his will of 24 November 1684, calling himself 78 years old, was made, and yet not probated before 20 August 1694. Ann married probably John Coller; Elizabeth married John Parmenter of Sudbury; Sarah married Thomas Waite; and Joanna married Philip Russell.

His will was made 3 days before. In some circumstances this name has been read Cutter, from the easy confusion of the clerk written indifferently, single or double t before the l.

JOHN CUTLER, Hingham, came in 1637, with wife, seven children, and one servant from some part of Norfolk, England, and died I suppose, about 1671, for next year his widow Mary, then became Hewet, joined with sons Nathaniel of Reading, Samuel of Topsfield, and Thomas of Charlestown, in sale of the estate at Hingham.

JOHN CUTLER, Woburn, married 3 September 1650, Olive Thompson, had Mary, born 7 August 1651, died young; Susanna, 22 March 1653; and Mary, again, 5 May 1663. He died of the smallpox, 1678 or 9. Mary married 2 March 1682, though another record says 20 June 1684, Matthew Smith.

JOHN CUTLER of Woburn, perhaps, married 12 May 1682, Susanna Baker, probably daughter of John Baker, but may have removed after having John, born 7 December 1684, died soon.

JOHN CUTLER, Charlestown, son of Robert Cutler, born probably in England, by wife Ann, had John, born about 1650; Timothy; Sarah, 20 October 1655; Samuel, 1 August 1658; Robert baptized 22 November 1663; Rebecca, 11 November 1666; and Mary, 21 November 1669; was Deacon 1673, Artillery Company 1681, Representative 1680 and 2. His wife Ann died 24 July 1681, and he married again, 29 October 1684, Mehitable Nowell, widow of William Hilton, daughter of Increase Nowell, died 26 March 1694. Most of his children died under middle age; but Sarah married 29 October 1688, William Eustis; and Rebecca had two husbands, yet died 25 January 1714; Samuel lived few days over 30 years; and Mary, died 1 September 1703. He served as Captain in some expedition In Philip's war, and was grandfather of Reverend Timothy Cutler, Harvard College 1701, D.D. and head of Yale College afterwards, rector of Christ's church, Boston, who died 17 August 1765, aged 81. His wife Ann Woodmansey, daughter of Robert Woodmansey. In another record is reported to have died 30 August 183, about 56. Mather, VI. 78, tells, of course, a wonderful story of the death of her son Robert Cutler at same hour in Barbados.

JOHN CUTLER, Charlestown, son of the preceding, by wife Martha Wiswall, daughter of John Wiswall of Boston, married 23 April 1674, had Margaret, who died 8 March 1678; John, born 27 September 1678, baptized 18 July 1680; Margaret, again, 14, baptized 19 December 1680, probably died young; Timothy Cutler, baptized June 1684, Harvard College 1701; Margaret, again, born 9 January 1691; Ruth, baptized 21 May 1693; and Sarah, 3, baptized 8 September 1695.

He had good estate by his will, made 1 May preceding. His estate distributed to wife, four children, and to grandchildren, besides bequeath to officers of the church.

SAMUEL CUTLER, Topsfield, brother of the first Nathaniel Cuatler, may be the man at Gloucester, whose wife Elizabeth, having brought him, at Salem, Samuel in 1661, and Ebenezer in 1664, died 17 March 1693, at Topsfield.

Hannah married 16 February 1681, Richard Waldron, died 14 February 1683; and Mary married 1 July 1687, Samuel Penhallow. Belknap I. 90. 1. 141. Chalmers, 490.

He had prosecuted the trade of fishing much at Isle of Shoals and Portsmouth; left Margaret, who married 8 December 1668, William Vaughan, died 22 January 1693, aged 40; and Bridget, wife of Thomas Daniel, and after of Thomas Graffort, but died a widow 29 May 1701.

His will, of 18 June 1674, probated 6 July following, names son Richard, also, so that we may assume he was born by the former wife.

Elizabeth Cutter, I think his mother, who died 10 January 1664, in her will of 16 February preceding calls herself about 87 years, says she has living now about 20 years with Mr. Elijah Corlet, who married her daughter Barbara, and gives them all her little property making the daughter executrix.

WILLIAM CUTTING, a passenger in the Elizabeth, from Ipswich, 1634, aged 26. It my be asked if he were related to the youth Richard, who came in the same ship with him, or of John, who was master of the Francis, which sailed on the same day from the same port, and both reached Boston the same day, without loss of any passengers. Yet here the answer will come from, or what it will be, is beyond conjecture.
