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.

NATHANIEL DADE, NATHANIEL DAVY, NATHANIEL DADY, or NATHANIEL DAWDY, and even NATHANIEL DANDY, Charlestown, son of William Dade. He married 17 June 1663, Hannah Miller, daughter of Richard Miller, had no children but Hannah, born 4 April 1664, died very soon; and Nathaniel, baptized 23 July 1665, died next year, and he died some time about the birth of his son. His widow married 4 October 1667, John Edmonds, and third husband 22 May 1684, Deacon Aaron Ludkin. She died 13 December 1707.

WILLIAM DADE, WILLIAM DAVY, WILLIAM DADY, or WILLIAM DAWDY, and even WILLIAM DANDY Charlestown 1630, a butcher, came in the fleet with Winthrop probably for his name stands on the list of Boston church, next after John Winthrop junior, who came, however, in 1631. He was of the 35 earliest members of the church of Charlestown, freeman 1 April 1633. By wife Dorothy, had Benjamin, baptized 24 March 1635; Nathaniel, 22 January 1637; and Zechary, born 16 May 1644. He died April 1682, aged 77, leaving estate to wife Dorothy, a William, and daughter Abigail. Frothingham, 79.

WILLIAM DADE, WILLIAM DAVY, WILLIAM DADY, or WILLIAM DAWDY, and even WILLIAM DANDY, Charlestown, son of the preceding. He died before his father leaving wife and two children, William, baptized 16 April 1671, and Abigail, 3 November 1672. Martha, his widow, died 13 January 1709, aged 76.

WILLIAM DADE, WILLIAM DAVY, WILLIAM DADY, or WILLIAM DAWDY, and even WILLIAM DANDY, born at Charlestown, perhaps a great grandson of first William Dade. He died at Brimfield 1756, in middle age, leaving six children. The name is perpetuated in Hampshire County whence some have removed to New York.

JOHN DAFFORNE, or JOHN DAFFERN, Boston. By wife Mary, had Mary, born 15, baptized 22 April 1677; John, 3, baptized 5 August 1678; Isaac, 20 November baptized 5 December 1680; and Richard, whose birth is not known but baptized 10 June 1683. Perhaps he had been driven away from some frontier settlement in the Indians war, and went back. Yet in the great fire of March 1760, one of the sufferers, as we see in Drake's valuable History of Boston, page 652, was Isaac Dafforne, perhaps grandson of John Dafforne.

RICHARD DAGAN, Scituate 1690. He had Elizabeth born 1693; and Thomas, 1694. Deane tells little more.

JOHN DAGGETT, or JOHN DOGGETT, as on record at Watertown, but JOHN DOGHEAD, or JOHN DOGED at Plymouth, Watertown 1630, probably came in the fleet with Winthrop, for on 19 October 1630 he desired administration, and 18 May 1631 was made freeman. He removed perhaps with Mayhew to the Vineyard, and 1645 to Rehoboth. He was Representative 1648. He married at Plymouth, 29 August 1667, probably as second wife widow Bathsheba Pratt, then called himself of Martin's Vineyard.

JOHN DAGGETT, or JOHN DOGGETT, as on record at Watertown, but JOHN DOGHEAD, or JOHN DOGED at Plymouth, Marshfield, perhaps son perhaps grandson of the preceding. He married 3 September 1691, Mehitable Truant; but this may have been second wife, and his first, Persis Sprague, daughter of William Sprague of Hingham, who died 1684.

SAMUEL DAGGETT, or SAMUEL DOGGETT, as on record at Watertown, but SAMUEL DOGHEAD, or SAMUEL DOGED at Plymouth, Marshfield, probably brother of the preceding. He married 24 January 1682, Mary Rogers, who died April 1690. On 21 January 1691 he married Bathsheba Holmes, daughter probably of John Holmes. By the first were born Samuel, Mary, and Sarah. By the second Elizabeth, he had Ebenezer, Bathsheba, John, and Isaac, all baptized 27 September 1702; and afterwards Lydia, Persis, Seth, and Abigail.

THOMAS DAGGETT, or THOMAS DOGGETT, as on record at Watertown, but THOMAS DOGHEAD, or THOMAS DOGED at Plymouth, Concord. He came as servant of Thomas Oliver, 1637, aged 30, from Norwich, England. His wife died 23 August 1642.

THOMAS DAGGETT, or THOMAS DOGGETT, as on record at Watertown, but THOMAS DOGHEAD, or THOMAS DOGED at Plymouth, Marshfield, or Duxbury, perhaps son of the first John Daggett. He married 17 August 1654, Joan Chillingworth, or January Chillingworth, daughter of Thomas Chillingworth, had Rebecca, born 1655; but she was his second wife and died 4 September 1684. By former wife he had John, Samuel, Sarah, and perhaps others, and died 1692. After removing to Middleborough, was a Captain and Magistrate. Mather tells of his giving insight into Indians witchcraft. Magnalia VI. 52.

THOMAS DAGGETT, or THOMAS DOGGETT, as on record at Watertown, but THOMAS DOGHEAD, or THOMAS DOGED at Plymouth, Bristol. In February 1680, he had wife and two children. Thirteen of this name had been graduates at Yale 1828; of who Reverend Naphtali Daggett, who died 25 November 1780, was President from 1766 to 1777.

PETER DAILLE, Boston, first minister of the Huguenot or French Protestant Church. He came about 1686. He died 20 May 1715, in his 66th year, says the Newsletter of 23rd May, but in the contemporary note of Reverend William Cooper, aged about 70. He had three wives. Esther Latonice he married probably in France, who died 14 December 1896; Psyche, died 31 August 1713; and Martha, who survived. James Bowdoin was executor of his will made 20 April 1715 in which is named his brother Paul Daille' Vaugelade of Amsfort in Holland. Neal, History of Pur. IV. 250, mentioned a Daille of Paris. Snow, History of Boston, 201. 3 Massachusetts History Collections II. 52. Worcester Magazine II. 349.

JOHN DAKIN, JOHN DAKYNGS, or JOHN DAKING, Concord, perhaps son of Thomas Dakin. By wife Susan, had John, born 20 March 1661, unless there be in the record mistake of name.

THOMAS DAKIN, THOMAS DAKYNGS, or THOMAS DAKING, Concord. He had Joseph, John, Samuel, and Sarah, this last born 8 October 1659. Perhaps all were by wife Sarah, who died ten days after the last born. He married 11 June 1660, widow Susan Stratton, and may have had one of the children under the last named wife.

JOHN DALE, Salem 1682. By wife Elizabeth, had John, born 2 November 1685; Elizabeth 1 March 1687; Lydia, 24 February 1689; Mary, 7 June 1691; and Samuel, 21 November 1694.

ROBERT DALE, Woburn. He married 30 November 1680, Joanna Farrar, daughter of John Farrar, had Martha, born 9 February 1684; Abigail, 29 July 1687; Joanna, 26 July 1690; and Rebecca, 24 January 1698. He died 9 February 1700.

DALEY, in Essex Institute History Collections II. 44, perhaps was brother of John Dale, above mentioned. He had Ann, born 16 September 1682; and Mary, 6 July 1685.

GILBERT DALISSON, or GILBERT DALISON, Milford about 1647, as Lambert presumes. At Boston, we learn by records that he married 24 October 1661, widow Margaret Story. Perhaps later in life he had wife Mary, and good estate but no children. He died 1689. He gave his property after death of wife to John Barton of Salem, and he to pay £10 to Thomas Marshall, yet no relationship is known with either of them.

DALKIN, -----, Medford, the escape of whose wife from drowning is told by Winthrop II. 162.

PHILEMON DALTON, or PHILEMON DOLTON, Watertown, linen-weaver. He came in the Increase, 1635, aged 45 with wife Hannah, 35; and Samuel, 5 and ½. He removed to Dedham, probably in 1637, thence to Hampton 1640, and perhaps to Ipswich. There he died 4 June 1662 by injury from fall of a tree. Shortly before he was freeman 3 March 1636, he had second wife Dorothy, left only three children of who probably one was Philemon of Hampton 1685. His widow married 25 November 1662, Godfrey Dearborn.

PHILEMON DALTON, or PHILEMON DOLTON, Hampton, son probably of the preceding, but he may have been grandson. He married 25 September 1690, Abigail Gove, daughter of Edward Gove.

SAMUEL DALTON, or SAMUEL DOLTON, Hampton, son of the first Philemon Dalton, born in England. He married 1676, as second or third wife Mehitable Palmer, daughter of Henry Palmer, who survived him, with children, some by former wife, Samuel, Philemon, and Timothy. He was town clerk 1658, Representative 1662-74, of the Councilors under President Cutt, at first, 1680. He died 22 August 1681. His son Timothy died at Boston, 16 years of age, 24 October 1681. His widow, I think, married 26 November 1683, Reverend Zechariah Symmes of Bradford.

SAMUEL DALTON, or SAMUEL DOLTON, Hampton, son probably of the preceding, took oath of fidelity 25 April 1678.

TIMOTHY DALTON, or TIMOTHY DOLTON, Dedham 1637, elder brother of the first Philemon Dalton, bred at St. John's College Cambridge, where he had his A.B. 1613. He was freeman 7 September 1637; had been in office in England, and in 1639 was called to be teacher in the church at Hampton. There died without issue 28 December 1661, aged about 84. He had Timothy, who died probably at full age, before his father. His widow Ruth died 12 May 1665, aged 88. The wills of husband and wife established good ministerial funds in Hampton.

WILLIAM DALTON, or WILLIAM DOLTON, Ipswich, an Irish youth, brought in the Goodfellow, sold by the shipmaster, George Dell, to Samuel Symonds, 10 May 1654, having been sent by command of the English government after the triumphs of Cromwell in Ireland.

JOHN DAME, JOHN DAMME, or JOHN DAM, Dover 1640, or earlier. By wife Elizabeth, had John; Elizabeth born 1 May 1649; Mary, 4 September 1651; William, 4 October 1653; Susanna, 14 December 1661; and Judith, born November 1666. He was freeman 1672 and Deacon. He died 27 January 1690, in advanced age. Judith married 6 July 1684, Thomas Tebbets, and died before middle age.

JOHN DAME, JOHN DAMME, or JOHN DAM, Dover, eldest son of the preceding. He married before 1663, Jane Rowe, daughter of Richard Rowe, for his daughter Abigail was born 5 April 1663. He married second wife 9 November 1664, Elizabeth Furber, daughter of William Furber, had John, born 11 January 1666, died soon; John, again, 23 February 1668, and Alice, 14 December 1670. He died 8 January 1706.

NICHOLAS DAME, NICHOLAS DAMME, or NICHOLAS DAM, Dover, perhaps brother or son of the first John Dame. In February 1690 joined with most of the New Hampshire people in prayer to be joined to Massachusetts.

WILLIAM DAME, WILLIAM DAMME, or WILLIAM DAM, Dover, brother of the preceding. He married Martha Pomfret, daughter of William Pomfret, had Pomfret, born 4 March 1681; Martha, 29 March 1683; William, 14 November 1686; Samuel, 6 March 1689; Sarah, 21 April 1692; and Leah, 17 February 1695. Formerly the name was written as sometimes it now is, Dam.

HUMPHREY DAMERILL, Boston, a master mariner, appraised of whose estate to be devised between wife and children. He died 27 April 1654. His widow Sarah married 15 September 1654, John Hawkins.

EDWARD DAMON, EDWARD DAMMAN, EDWARD DAMAN, or EDWARD DAMING, Marblehead 1674. Dana, 8.

JOHN DAMON, JOHN DAMMAN, JOHN DAMAN, or JOHN DAMING, Scituate 1643, came with sister Hannah, minors, under care of William Gilson, their uncle, one of the chief men of the town, as early as 1633, and had his estate. He married June 1644, Catharine Merritt, daughter of Henry Merritt, had Deborah, born 25 April 1645; John, 3 November 1647; Zechary, 1649, died soon; Mary, July 1651; Daniel, February 1653; Zechary, again, 1654; and his wife died. He married 1659, Martha Howland, had son Experience, born 1662; Silence, 1663; Ebenezer, 1665; Ichabod, 1668; Margaret, 1670; and Hannah, 1672. He was Representative 1675, 76, and died 1677. His widow married Peter Bacon of Taunton. John served in Philip's war. Ebenezer married a daughter of Bacon, but was weak, and his estate was in his mother's hands, not managed by him, as Deane tells. Deborah married 1666, Thomas Woodworth. Experience, and Ichabod, also, had son of same names.

JOHN DAMON, JOHN DAMMAN, JOHN DAMAN, or JOHN DAMING, Reading, freeman 1645. He had John, who died 14 January 1652, and John, again, born 18 March 1652; daughter Abiah, 26 August 1654; Samuel, 23 June 1656; Joseph, 18 August 1661; probably also, others. He was a Deacon and died 1708. Samuel and Thomas, of Reading, freeman 1691, were, perhaps, his sons and may have had families.

JOHN DAMON, JOHN DAMMAN, JOHN DAMAN, or JOHN DAMING, Charlestown, son of the preceding. By wife Susan, had Susanna, baptized 8 March 1685; and Elizabeth 28 September 1690. He died at Charlestown 20 January 1692. His widow died 1729, aged 73.

ZACHARY DAMON, ZACHARY DAMMAN, ZACHARY DAMAN, or ZACHARY DAMING, Scituate, son of John Damon of the same, served in Philip's war. He married 1679, Martha Woodworth, daughter of Walter Woodworth, had many children whose names Deane knows not; and died 1730. In the Reading family the number is doubled.

BENJAMIN DANA, Cambridge, son of Richard Dana. He married 24 May 1688, Mary Buckmaster, had Benjamin, born 28 April 1689, progenitor of a long line; Isaac, 3 October 1697, ancestor of Governor Dana of Maine; Joseph Dana, 21 February 1700, father of Reverend Joseph, Yale College 1760, D.D, the celebrated minister of Ipswich, 62 years; William Dana, 11 October 1703, father of Reverend Samuel Dana, born about 1705, minister of Groton; and Jedediah, 6 October 1705. He died 13 August 1738. No daughter is mentioned in the family genealogy.

DANIEL DANA, Cambridge, brother of the preceding. He married Naomi Crosswell, had Thomas, baptized at Charlestown, 25 March 1694; and other children of who a second Caleb Dana was father of Reverend James Dana, Harvard College 1753, father of Honorable Samuel W. Dana, Yale College 1775, Senator of United States; and third son Richard Dana, born 7 July 1700, Harvard College 1718. He married 31 January 1737, Lydia Trowbridge (who died at Boston 17 May 1772), was father of Reverend Edmund Dana, Harvard College 1759, who had a curacy at Wroxeter near Shrewsbury in County Salop, in England, died 1823, and Francis Dana, Harvard College 1762, ambassador to Russia, and Chief Justice of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, who died 26 April 1811. He died 10 October 1749, and his widow Naomi died 24 February 1751, aged 82. A fourth son was Ebenezer Dana of Pomfret.

JACOB DANA, Cambridge, eldest brother of the preceding that survived infancy. By wife Patience, had two sons Samuel and Jacob, and five daughters, and died at Cambridge 1699. He was grandfather of Anderson Dana killed in the massacre at Wyoming, 1779, who was father of Reverend Sylvester Dana, Yale College 1797, and minister of Orford, New Hampshire.

JOSEPH DANA, Concord, brother of the preceding. He married 1682, Mary Goble, daughter of the second Thomas Goble of Charlestown, had one child who died young, and Joseph Dana, born 22 September 1685, who went to Connecticut and probably had family.

RICHARD DANA, Cambridge. He married Ann Bullard, had John, born 15 April 1649, died in six months; Hannah, 8 July 1651; Samuel, 13 October 1653, died next month; Jacob, 2 February 1655; Joseph, 21 May 1666; Benjamin, 20 February baptized 8 April 1660; Elizabeth, 27 April 1662; Daniel, 20 March baptized 3 April 1663; died Abiah, died young; Deliverance, 5 March 1667; Sarah, who died 11 January 1670; and Sarah, again, 1 January 1670; twelve in all. One daughter probably Hannah married Samuel Oldham; one, perhaps Elizabeth, perhaps Deliverance married Daniel Woodward; and Sarah married Samuel Hyde. The time of his death by a fall in his barn, is given 2 April 1690, but the partition of estate was not before 15 April 1695, which devised to widow and four sons besides Oldham, Woodward, and Hyde is found. Thirteen of this family had been graduates in 1839 at Harvard and thirteen at other New England Colleges.

JOHN DAND, Boston 1641, clerk in the prothonotary's office (but I hear not where), gave much trouble by joining others in petition for enlargement of privileges 1645. Winslow describes him as living in another man's house at board hire. He was not a freeholder. See our General Court's Declaration in Hutchinson con. 211, one of the most curious papers in that invaluable collection. We might presume, on his ill-success in Massachusetts, that he went home, but Farmer says he was of Dover 1654. Winthrop II. 262, 92-5. The learned author of "Gens Sylvestrina," one of the most agreeable books of genealogy ever printed says, the Dands were "the most considerable family in the sixteenth century at Mansfield in Nottinghamshire." Yet they were mercers, as he tells.

WILLIAM DANDY, Charlestown, probably called Davy in Frothingham, 181, was in 1680 one of the tythingmen of the town. See Dady.

DANIEL DANE, Andover, son probably of Reverend Francis Dane. By wife Deliverance, had Nathaniel, born 26 March 1684. But he had lived at Concord, was one of the tythingmen there 1680.

FRANCIS DANE, Andover, son of John Dane of Roxbury, born in England, was of Ipswich 1648, and soon after ordained second minister of Andover. Was brought by his father 1636, it is said, in the same ship with Nathaniel Rogers, who was half a year on her passage from London to Boston. By wife Elizabeth Ingalls, daughter of Edmund Ingalls, married before he went to Andover, who died 9 June 1676, were all his children probably born, but we have not their names or dates, with exactness. Yet two, Nathaniel and Elizabeth were born perhaps before his ordination. Besides these, he had, also, Albert, and two named Francis, who all died young; Hannah, who married 14 November 1666, William Goodhue; Phebe married 30 May 1671, Joseph Robinson; Abigail married 12 October 1675, Francis Faulkner; and Francis, again. He married second wife 22 November 1677, Mary Thomas, who died 18 February 1689; and, third wife, Hannah Abbot, daughter of George Abbot, who survived to June 1711. He died 17 February 1697, aged 82. He was in danger from the cruel infatuation of 1692, when others of high rank fled from the suspicion of witchcraft, and of his humbler neighbors sheep of his fold, innocent of the nonsense as himself not a few suffered. Hutchinson Il. 38.

FRANCIS DANE, Andover, son of the preceding. He married 16 November 1681, Hannah Poor, freeman 1691. He died 1738, aged 81, leaving Francis, John, Joseph, and Daniel.

JOHN DANE, Roxbury, from County Essex, England. He came 1636, bringing children of a wife Francis, Elizabeth and John. He was perhaps the freeman of 2 June 1641. He married 2 July 1643, Ann Chandler, or Hannah Chandler, or Annis Chandler, daughter of William Chandler. He died says town record, buried says the church record, 14 September 1658. His will, of a week preceding probated 16 October 1658, names only those children of which he calls Elizabeth Howe, perhaps wife of the second Abraham of Roxbury. Perhaps he had removed a short time to Ipswich, and came back to Roxbury. His widow had third husband John Parmenter of Sudbury, and she died 15 March 1683.

JOHN DANE, Ipswich, son of the preceding, born in England at Colchester 1613. He perhaps came to Roxbury 1636, with his father. He was freeman 2 June 1641, unless that name in the record of the Colony applies to his father and he be freeman of 1682. He was a surgeon,. He died 29th September 1684, leaving good estate for that day. He had Mary born 1639, who married 24 August 1658, William Chandler of Andover, who was son of her grandfather's second wife. His will names wife, two sons John and Philemon, daughters Elizabeth and Sarah, grandchildren Mary Chandler and Daniel Hovey. In the close investigation of recent days it is found that Elizabeth married Reginald Foster; Sarah married 23 September 1668, Daniel Warner; and a daughter Rebecca married James Hovey, who perhaps was the man killed by the Indians at Brookfield, 2 August 1675. The deficiency of Ipswich records leaves all else unknown but he was ancestor of Honorable Nathan Dane, Harvard College 1778, L.L., of Beverly, distinguished in jurisprudence, and of Honorable Joseph Dane, Harvard College 1799, of Maine.

NATHANIEL DANE, Andover, son of Reverend Francis Dane. He married 12 December 1672, Deliverance Hazeltine, daughter of Robert Hazeltine, had Nathaniel, died 16 October 1674; and Francis, died 3 November 1679; probably others. He died 1725, aged 80. His wife was imprisoned on charge of witchcraft 1692; and when innocence would not avail, saved her life by false confession of guilt. On either plea, guilty or not, the father of lies was sure to triumph.

PHILEMON DANE, Ipswich, son of second John Dane, freeman 1674, was a physician. He married 7 October 1685, Mary Thompson. On 25 December 1690, took second wife Ruth Converse, daughter of James Converse of Woburn. He died 18 October 1716. Of his children Mary; Philemon, born 1693, died next year; Philemon, again and Edward, twins 17 July 1695; and Ruth, 24 August 1698. No doubt of the mother can be felt, unless the first may have been by former wife.

THOMAS DANE, Concord, had, I suppose. By wife Elizabeth, had a daughter born 24 February 1643, and certainly by her had Hannah, 18 March 1645, if this be the real name of him printed. Dann in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 347, with who conf. G. R. IV. 271.

WILLIAM DANE, Woburn. He had Martha, born 17 August 1671; William, 5 July 1673; Samuel, 26 July 1675; John, 25 June 1677; Sarah, in 1687. All by wife Martha. Great difficulty occurs in turning over records by frequent substitution of Dean, or Deane, or Daine, for Dane, and the reverse.

JOHN DANFORTH, Dorchester, son of the first Reverend Samuel Danforth, ordained 28 June 1682, seventh minister of that church. He married 21 November 1682, Elizabeth Minot (but in Genealogical Registrar VII. 58, called Hetty Minot), daughter of James Minot, who died 6 June 1722. He died 26 May 1730. His age has been overstated by 8 years in Dr. Harris and others. He had Elijah Danforth, born 1683, Harvard College 1703, died 8 October 1736; John, 26 January 1689, died 2 March 1729; and (besides Mehitable, whose grave stone tells, that she died 1 May 1727, in 27th year), Samuel Danforth, Harvard College 1715, Judge of Probate, counselor and mandamus counselor whose wife Elizabeth Symmes died 13 January 1775, aged 67, and he died 27 October 1777, aged 81. This Samuel was father of Samuel Danforth, the distinguished physician, Harvard College 1758, who died 16 November 1827, aged 86; and of Thomas Danforth, Harvard College 1762, who at the revolution adhered to the crown, and died at London April 1820. See the fine note by William T. Harris in Genealogical Registrar VII. 315.

JONATHAN DANFORTH, Billerica, youngest son of Nicholas Danforth, born probably at Framlingham, County Suffolk, came 1634 with his father. He married 22 November 1655, Elizabeth Poulter, daughter of John Poulter of Billerica, deceased, had eleven children; Mary, born 29 January 1657; Elizabeth, 27 May 1658; Jonathan; John, who died 7 February 1661; a daughter whose name is not certain, 23 January 1661; Thomas, 29 April 1670, died at 3 months; Nicholas, 1 July 1671; and another John, 22 February 1662, however, being the only ones known by me; except Ann, who married 22 January 1690, Oliver Whiting. Of six sons only two, Jonathan, born 1659, freeman 1690, and Samuel, 1666, left issue. He was, perhaps, freeman 1652, the first Captain of Billerica, Representative 1684, distinguished as surveyor of land, and town clerk 20 years. He died 7 September 1712, leaving widow, his second wife.

JONATHAN DANFORTH, Billerica, son of the preceding. He married 27 June 1682, Rebecca Parker of Billerica, had Rebecca, born 30 June 1683; Thomas, 17 March 1685; and Jonathan, 22 March 1688. Perhaps the father died that year. But in the Diary of Noadiah Russell, Genealogical Registrar VII. 57, it is told that he died 13 November 1682. Yet this may easily be reconciled by supposing Russell Danforth to mean the son of Thomas, not of Jonathan; though Bond mistook him for the latter.

NICHOLAS DANFORTH, Cambridge, from Framlingham, County Suffolk, came 1631, freeman 3 March 1636, Representative 1636 and 37. He died April 1638, leaving Thomas, who was born 1622; Samuel Danforth, September 1626, Harvard College 1643; Jonathan, 29 February 1628; Ann, probably 1620, wife of Matthew Bridge; Lydia, wife of William Beaman; and the eldest, Elizabeth 1618, wife of Andrew Belcher, grandmother of Governor Jonathan. His wife Elizabeth died 1629 in England.

SAMUEL DANFORTH, Roxbury, son of the preceding, born in England, came with his father, was freeman 1647, and again his name is given 1648, ordained as colleague with Reverend John Eliot, 24 September 1650. He married 5 November 1651, Mary Wilson, youngest child of Reverend John Wilson of Boston, had Samuel, born 14 January 1653 "at nine o'clock at night," baptized at Boston two days after by his grandfather, died at 6 months; Mary, 24, baptized 28 May 1654, died at 5 and 1/2 years; Elizabeth, baptized 13 July though her birth was given in Genealogical Registrar 1656, died at 3 and 1/2 years; Sarah, 30 October baptized 7 November 1658, died at 1 year; these three in ten days; John Danforth, 8, baptized 11 November 1660, Harvard College 1677; Mary, again, 13, baptized 15 March 1663; Elizabeth again, 9 February 1665, died at 7 and 1/2 years; Samuel Danforth, again, born 10, baptized 16, but born 18 December 1666, according to Genealogical Registrar VII.321, Harvard College 1683; Sarah, again, 21, baptized 27 February 1670; Thomas, 3 April 1672, died in ten days; and Elizabeth again, 16 October 1673, died in few days. The father died 19 November 1674, in his 49th year and was buried on Monday following. Ellis in History of Roxbury, page 96, notes the death as 1674, and the children as twelve, in both points following Farmer, and wisely repudiating the town record that makes it 1673. In both, he is following Genealogical Registrar VII. 317 by a writer of scrupulous accuracy which, however, miscounted his years. Farmer, Ellis, and Harris must, I presume, include a posthumous child as in the will anticipated; and yet none of them give the name. His will, probated 24 December 1674, was made, say the witnesses, "The day immediately preceding his death" but we must go behind them to know the month or year. His widow married Ruck, says Farmer, in Memoirs of Harvard Graduates page 32; but in his MS notes upon his General Registrar, he spells the name Rocke.

SAMUEL DANFORTH, Taunton, son of the preceding, ordained 1687. He married Hannah Allen, daughter of Reverend James Allen of Boston, had Elizabeth, born 29 July 1689; Mary and Samuel, twins 1 June 1691, both died soon; James, 11, baptized 13 November 1692; Sarah, 18, baptized 25 November 1694; Samuel, 4, baptized 10 January 1697; Mary, again, 5, baptized 11 December 1698; Hannah, 2, baptized 8 December 1700; Thomas, 22, baptized 23 May 1703; John, 21, baptized 25 February 1705, died next year; Martha, 2 September 1707, died soon; Bethia, 16 August 1709; Rachel, 8 July 1711; and Nathaniel, 31 May 1714. He died 14 November 1727. Ten children outlived him, and his widow died 3 December 1761.

THOMAS DANFORTH, Cambridge, eldest son of Nicholas Danforth, born in England, came with his father, freeman 10 May 1643, Representative 1657 and 58; Assistant 1659-78, Deputy Governor 1679-86, and again after the close of Andros's usurpation. He was appointed President 1680, for Maine, and in 1692, Judge of Supreme Court for the horrible proceedings against witches. His wife died 26 March 1697; and he died 5 November 1699. He married 23 February 1644, Mary Withington, daughter of Henry Withington of Dorchester, had Sarah, born 16 April 1645, died at six months; Sarah, again, or, as another record reads, Mary, 11 November 1646; Mary, 20 April 1649, died soon; Mary, again, 28 July 1650; Samuel Danforth, 5 October 1652, Harvard College 1671, a good scholar who died at London of smallpox, 22 December 1676; Thomas, 16 December 1654; Jonathan, 27 February 1657, died in few weeks; Jonathan Danforth, again, 10, baptized 13 February 1659, Harvard College 1679, died 13 November 1682; Joseph, 18, baptized 22 September 1661, died at 2 years; Benjamin, 20, baptized 24 May 1663, died at 3 months; Elizabeth, 17, baptized 29 January 1665; and Bethia, baptized 16 June 1667, died next year. Posterity is known only in the female line. His daughter Mary became 2nd wife of Thomas Brown of Sudbury, after mid life, but in youth had married Solomon Phipps junior of Charlestown, who died soon; and Elizabeth married 3 October 1682, Francis Foxcroft.

WILLIAM DANFORTH, Newbury 1667, born only 14 years before at London; perhaps was soldier in December 1675, of Johnson's company. By first wife who died 18 October 1678, had no children. By second wife Sarah Thurlo, had William; Mary; Richard, born 31 January 1680; John, 8 December 1681, died 1 October 1772; Jonathan, 18 May 1685; Thomas, 11 September 1688; Francis, 15 March 1691; and Joseph, 12 May 1694. Descendants, says Farmer, are in New Hampshire and some of them spell their name Danford. Eleven graduates at Harvard are all male line descendants of Nicholas Danforth.

JAMES DANIEL, or JAMES DANIELS, Exeter, took oath of allegiance 30 November 1677.

JOSEPH DANIEL, or JOSEPH DANIELS, Falmouth 1680. Willis, I. 217. Perhaps he had been of Medfield 1649-78.

He died 1709 or 1710.

JOHN DANIEL, or JOHN DANIELS, New London, son of the preceding. He married 3 December 1685, Agnes Beebe. He died 14 January 1756, wanting, therefore, but 15 days of 90 years.

RICHARD DANIEL, or RICHARD DANIELS, Billerica 1675, lived also at Andover, and is spoken of by Gookin in his account of the Indians

ROBERT DANIEL, or ROBERT DANIELS, Watertown, removed 1651 to Cambridge, freeman 14 March 1639. He had Robert, born at Cambridge 1 December 1641. His wife Elizabeth died 2 October 1643, and he died at Cambridge 6 July 1655. His will of 3 July 1655 names wife of uncertain letters, like Reana Andrews, who he married only 2 May 1654, and five children, Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Fanning; Samuel; and minors Joseph, Sarah, and Mary, the last of whom was born 2 September 1642. His widow married Edmund Frost, as his third wife

ROBERT DANIEL, or ROBERT DANIELS, Sudbury. He died there 1662. He may have been son of the preceding.

SAMUEL DANIEL, or SAMUEL DANIELS, Watertown 1652, then took oath of fidelity, was son of the first Robert Daniel, born in England, and soon after the death of his father, sold out his estate and removed. He was perhaps father of Samuel Daniel of Watertown who married 10 May 1671, Mary Grant, and had Robert, born 23 April 1672; Samuel, 1 April 1674, died next year; and Joseph, 3 February 1677.

He married Anna Gregson, or Hannah Gregson, daughter of Thomas Gregson, had Joanna, born 1 September 1652; Elizabeth, 1 October 1655; Rebecca, 30 January baptized 28 February 1658. He perhaps removed but the family did not, for Joanna married there 7 December 1671, John Glover; Elizabeth married 9 May 1682, John Winston; and Rebecca married the same day, John Thompson; and Grigson's widow gave, 1692, some property to her daughter Anna Daniel.

STEPHEN DANIEL, or STEPHEN DANIELS, at Salem 1668. To a petition against imposts signed his name, and no more is known of him. By the History Collections of Essex Institute II. 43, wherein we learn that he married 26 July 1666, Mary Prince, had Stephen, born 6 December 1667, died under 20 years; John, 12 April 1669; Mary, 13 July 1670. His wife died October 1679. He married 3 December 1680, Susanna Hyde, had Susanna, 28 August 1686.

THOMAS DANIEL, or THOMAS DANIELS, Cambridge, possibly son of Robert Daniel. He died or was buried 6 November 1644.

THOMAS DANIEL, or THOMAS DANIELS, Kittery 1652, removed to Portsmouth. He married Bridget Cutt, daughter of Richard Cutt. He was a Captain and of the first council 1680, under President John Cutt, 11 December 1684, Thomas Graffort.

Another daughter Hannah married 11 February 1673, Benjamin Babcock. His will of 2 July 1678, mentioned wife, sons John and Samuel, and daughter Hannah. Alice Daniels had, says Felt, grant of land 1637, at Salem. Distinction of family with, or without final s is probably to be universally observed.

ROBERT DANTS, or ROBERT DANKS, Northampton 1671. He married Elizabeth Webb, daughter of John Webb, had Mehitable; Robert, who died 1675; Elizabeth born 1677; Robert, 1680; and Mercy, 1682. Elizabeth, mother or daughter died December 1691. He died about 24 February 1692. The name was long, kept up, but is now extinct at Northampton yet whence he came is unknown. A Robert Dants, perhaps his father, was freeman 10 May 1643, of course belonged to some Eastern town of the Colony.

GEORGE DARLING, Lynn 1650-70. He had Joseph, born March 1667; was of Marblehead 1674; Lewis; and Dana, son.

JOHN DARLING, Braintree 1660-90, many years was of Salem, may have been brother of George Darling. He had wife Catharine.

He took second wife Mary Wadley, daughter of William Wadley of Saybrook. For another wife he took, 3 December 1680, Susanna, widow probably of Isaac Hyde. He died 24 September 1724, aged 89. Ann married August 1699, John Morgan.

RICHARD DART, New London, and son of the preceding. He married 22 June 1699, Elizabeth Strickland, perhaps daughter of Peter Strickland, had only child named on record Peter, born 9 April 1709.

Elizabeth, his daughter perhaps by a former wife married at Sudbury 30 November 1654, the second Peter Noyes. He also names daughter Mary Darvall who married that year Joseph Noyes, nephew of Peter Noyes.

WILLIAM DARVALL, WILLIAM DARVILL, or WILLIAM DARVELL, Boston 1674, merchant.

JOHN DASSETT, Braintree, one of the founders of the church 17 September 1639, freeman 13 May 1640. He had Joseph, born and died December 1642, who may have been his youngest child for his division of lands 24 February 1640, was for seven heads. His name in Genealogical Registrar IX. 142, is distorted to Deffet. He died 1677, his will of March 1677 was probated 27 April 1677. It gave all to his son John. Mary, his daughter perhaps, born in England, married John Biggs, and 2nd Captain John Minot.

JOHN DASSETT, Braintree, perhaps son of the preceding. He married 15 September 1662, Hannah Flynt, daughter of Thomas Flynt of Concord, as one report is, though I think a better is, 15 November as the town record to Ann Flynt, daughter of Reverend Henry Flynt, had John, born 2 May 1664; I suppose, Joseph Dassett, next, 14 October 1666, Harvard College 1687, who died much lamenting says Sewall, and was buried 23 July 1693; Mary, 27 September 1670; and Sarah, 1 December 1673. His father had removed to Boston shortly before his death, and this son, a cordwainer of good estate, was probably the freeman of 1657. He died 1699. Administration was given 14 September to widow Martha and son John. His widow perhaps married Timothy Dwight.

CHARLES DAVENPORT, Dorchester, son of Thomas Davenport. By wife Waitstill, had Eunice, born 20 June 1679; Sarah, 10 July 1681 ; Paul, 30 January 1684; Thomas, 13 January 1688, died at 2 months; Waitstill, 18 July 1689; Abigail, 10 March 1693; Thomas, again, 22 August 1695; Charles, 15 February 1701; and Mary, 14 March 1704.

EBENEZER DAVENPORT, Dorchester, brother of the preceding. He married Dorcas Andrews, daughter of James Andrews of Falmouth, had Mary, born at Boston 15 July 1683, removed to Falmouth, had Tabitha, born there 3 May 1688; but driven thence by the Indians 1690. He came again to Dorchester, and had Esther, 11 February 1691; James, 1 March 1693; Zeruiah, 14 February 1696; Hepzibah, 11 April 1697; Thankful, 8 March 1700; Elisha, 26 September 1703; and Ebenezer, 23 October 1706. His wife died 24 November 1723, and he died 19 or 29 July 1738, as grave stone tells. But he had married 26 May 1724, Sarah Bartlett, and had a third wife Patience, who parted from him 3 years before he made his will, 26 January 1730, and in this document he cuts her off.

ELEAZER DAVENPORT, Boston, mariner, son of Captain Richard Davenport. He married Rebecca Addington, daughter of Isaac Addington, had Addington Davenport, born 3 August 1670, Harvard College 1689, who was a minister of eminence, and Judge of the Supreme Court; Eleazer, 13 April 1674; Rebecca, 7 August 1676; and Nathaniel, 20 June 1678. He died at sea, 8 October 1678 on voyage to St. Kitts, where the vessel was afterwards wrecked.

FRANCIS DAVENPORT, Boston 1675, mariner. He married Ann Snelling, daughter of Dr. William Snelling.

HUMPHREY DAVENPORT, Dorchester, came from Barbados. He married Rachel Holmes, daughter of Thomas Holmes, had Richard; removed to Hartford, there had William. In 1667 his wife was convicted of playing cards. They removed to New York, where greater laxity might be indulged in.

JOHN DAVENPORT, New Haven, first minister there, son of John Davenport, says Wood's Athenae Oxon. not, as the fondness of Mather states, Mayor of Coventry, in idle attempt to magnify a great man. He was born 1597, bred at Oxford, but not administered as Mather has it, of Brazen Nose, 1611, entered 1613, at Merton College, thence after two years removed to Magdalen Hall, where he procured D.D. 1625 was preacher at St. Stephens, Coleman Street, London, perhaps not quite so early as the Magnalia imports. Being in 1633 complained of for nonconformity, went to Amsterdam, thence came to New England 1637, with Governor Eaton, arrived at Boston 26 June, and next year with him settled New Haven. Mr. Haven, the accomplished editor of Archaeologia Americana, Volume III. in preliminaries removed cxxxvi. corrects that looselessness of the Magnalia as to the Mayor of Coventry; yet falls into slight error as to the coming of this famous divine. On page lxxxv he says: "When the times grew favorable for the Puritans he returned to England" from his refuge in Holland; but more exact expression should be, in my judgment thus: "As the times grew not favorable for the Puritans, he returned no more to England" except to embark privately, perhaps without landing, for he dared not appear in London. After near 30 years of great influence in the Colony of his own plantation removed to Boston. Freeman 1669, having with very injurious controversy been installed as successor of Wilson, 9 December 1668, at the First Church causing foundation of Third Church in Boston, gathered 12 May 1669 at Charlestown, and violent heats in the commonwealth for many years. The great body of the clergymen favored the new church as did a major part of the Assistants of six opponents, three, including Governor Bellingham, being of the old church. He was at New Haven, eager in defense of Goffe and Whalley, the regicides in 1661, and perhaps much aided in their escape. Yet a most curious, if not characteristic letter from him furnishes no small light to the history of his acting given by Dr. Stiles, as it tends to exculpate, or inculpate, him, according to the eyes with which it is read, in 3 Massachusetts History Collections VIII. 327. With his name is frequently associated that of a cousin possibly a brother Christopher Davenport, born 1598, a Catholic priest of great learning not a Jesuit, under the name of Santa Clara, who died 31 May 1680. Mather, III. 52, denies that he was a brother" as a certain Woodden Historian, in his Athenae Oxon. has reported". By this merciless punishment of honest Anthony, the immortal author of the Magnalia fully proves how much better qualified, he was for executioner than judge. We know no children but John Davenport, called only son though he certainly had younger born Joseph Davenport, who died probably before his father, and perhaps had daughters before or after coming to New England. He died 15 March 1670. Elizabeth, perhaps his widow, died 15 September 1676, aged 73, if the grave stone be correct. In the present age a descendant of the venerable father of New Haven, a Benedict Davenport, Esq. called himself of the twenty-fourth generation has confidently carried the line of his family back to Orme de Davenport, 1086, or the 20th of the Conqueror. Such labors are seldom reverenced in our country.

JOHN DAVENPORT, New Haven 1657, son of the Reverend John Davenport, merchant, born in England or Holland, but which is uncertain, was brought by Mr. Fenwick in 1639, in one of the only two ships that ever came to New Hampshire from England. He married 27 November 1663, Abigail Pierson, daughter of Reverend Abraham Pierson of Branford, had John, born 7, baptized 11 June 1665, died in few weeks; Elizabeth, 7 October baptized 18 November (not as church record says, 19) 1666, who married December 1700, Warham Mather; John Davenport, again, baptized 28 February 1669, Harvard College 1687; Abraham, born March 1671; Abigail, 15 September 1672, married 27 October 1691, Reverend James Pierpont of New Haven, and died within four months; and Mary, 17 September 1676, who married 22 May 1694, Nathaniel Wood. He had removed to Boston at the same time with his father. He was freeman 1669, and about 1687, at New Haven, where his inventory is of 27 June in that year. Yet in the Pedigree, Genealogical Registrar IX. 147, it is said he died 1676.

JOHN DAVENPORT, Boston, son of Captain Richard Davenport. He married 1 November 1667, Bridget Watkins, had Richard, born 13 November 1670; John, 13 June 1672; and perhaps more.

JOHN DAVENPORT, Stamford, son of second John Davenport, ordained 1694. He died 5 February 1731. He had, by two wives (of which the first married 18 April 1695, was Martha Gold, widow of John Sellick, daughter of Major Nathan Gold, who died 1 December 1712) nine children of whom John, born 21 January 1698, Deotate, 23 October 1706, by the first; and James Davenport, Yale College 1732, and Abraham Davenport, Yale College 1732. By the second they have many descendants in Connecticut.

JOHN DAVENPORT, Dorchester, son of Thomas Davenport. By wife Naomi, had John, born 10 June 1695; Ephraim, 1698; Samuel, 1700; Joseph, 30 August 1701; Stephen, 8 October 1703; Mehitable, 30 August 1705; and Benjamin, 12 August 1707. He died 21 March 1725.

JONATHAN DAVENPORT, Dorchester, brother of the preceding. By wife Hannah married 1 December 1680, had Thomas, born 10 December 1681; Jonathan, 3 November 1684; Hannah, 23 December 1686; Simon, 27 December 1688; Ebenezer, 2 September 1691; John, 12 January 1694; Joseph, 25 March 1696; Benjamin, 6 October 1698; and Sarah, 10 December 1700. All, except the first, were born at Little Compton.

NATHANIEL DAVENPORT, Boston, brother of Richard Davenport. He married Elizabeth Thacher, daughter of Reverend Thomas Thacher. He was freeman 1673, a brave Captain in Philip's war. He was killed 19 December 1675, with four of his company and many others in the Narraganset fight. Hutchinson I. 299. His widow married 1677, Samuel Davis, master of the ship Gabriel.

RICHARD DAVENPORT, Salem, came with Captain Endicot in the Abigail, September 1628, from Weymouth, in County Dorset, a few miles from Dorchester, near where probably he was born about 1606. He was freeman 3 September 1634, Ensign next month when his friend Endicot cut out the red cross in the national banner, in admiration of which rashness he gave a daughter born that year her name, Truecross. He was Lieutenant, with a happier spirit when he was, 1636, wounded in the Pequot expedition. He was Representative 1637, and that year directed to receive the arms from Wheelwright's friends; artillery company 1639. He removed 1642, to Boston, and was appointed Captain of the castle, where he was killed by lightning, 15 July 1665. His wife was Elizabeth and children Nathaniel; Truecross, born 1634, or more probably 1635; Experience, baptized 27 August 1637; and John, 19 September 1641, all at Salem, but the records of the church being for the earliest years lost, the baptism of the oldest child is not known. At Boston he had Samuel, baptized 28 June 1646; Sarah, 30 September 1649; Elizabeth, 13 September 1652; and William, born 11 May 1656, baptized 7 days old. His widow died 24 June 1678. Truecross married 10 November 1654, Stephen Minot; and Elizabeth married Asaph Eliot. William was a Sergeant in Phips's Quebec expedition but whether he was married is unknown, and he died soon after reaching home. Prince, Ann. I. 174. Johnson, W. W. P.

THOMAS DAVENPORT, Dorchester 1640, freeman 18 May 1642, perhaps living 1660 at Cambridge. He died 9 November 1685, leaving wife Mary, who died 4 October 1691. He had Sarah, born 28 December 1643; Thomas, who was killed in Philip's war 19 December 1675, in Johnson's company; Mary, baptized 21 January 1649; Charles; Mehitable, born 14 February 1657; Jonathan, 6 March 1659; Ebenezer, 26 April 1661; and John, baptized 20 November 1664. Mary married Samuel Maxfield. Often in early records inexperienced readers will be misled by finding this name as Danfort, or Damport.

WILLIAM DAVENPORT Hartford, son of Humphrey Davenport, left by his father to care of Captain Thomas Watts, was a carpenter. He had wife Elizabeth who died about 19 February 1697, aged 27. Five of this name had been graduates 1834 at Harvard, and eight at the other New England Colleges.

JOHN DAVID, Boston, known to me only as witness to the will of Major Holmes, November 1649.

SAMUEL DAVIDS, Boston, heard of only in May 1663, as appraiser on estate of Robert Lincoln.

EDMUND DAVIE, Harvard College 1674, of whom we know nothing, but what the collection catalogue of 1698 tells, that he had taken his married daughter at Padua, and was then dead. Unsatisfactory conjecture may suppose that he was younger brother of Humphrey Davie.

GEORGE DAVIE, Sheepscot, near Wiscasset, as early as 1653, wounded by Indians 1676. Sullivan, 148, 293.

HUMPHREY DAVIE, Boston, merchant son of Sir John Davie, who had been created a baronet 9 September 1641, came from London 1662, possibly to encourage Reverend James Allen, freeman 1665, artillery company 1665, Representative for Billerica, because he had estate there 1665-69, for Woburn 1678, probably on equal reason, an Assistant 1679-86. He married as second or third wife Sarah Richards, daughter of James Richards of Hartford, who had left large estate that caused his removal thither; had by her, Humphrey and William. He died 18 February 1689. By former wife he had John Davie, Harvard College 1681, but whether she came with him from London, I find not. His widow married Honorable Jonathan Tyng.

HUMPHREY DAVIE, Hartford, son of the preceding. He died 1718. Hinman, 128, confused father and son but on page 206 corrected himself in part; yet in the Richards connection 228, again mistakes both father and son as well as mother and daughter.

JOHN DAVIE, Boston, freeman 25 May 1636, a supporter of Wheelwright and Mrs. Hutchinson, punished therefore. Winthrop I. 248. I presume he is the man administered of the church in January before, but the Elder wrote the name Davisse, and called him joiner. Most of the names Davie or Davy, Davies, or Davis are convertible. He may have gone to Duxbury where one of these names sold estate 1650.

JOHN DAVIE, Boston, eldest son of Humphrey Davie. He married Elizabeth Richards, daughter of James Richards of Hartford. He removed to New London, where Reverend Gurdon Saltonstall, who married her sister Jerusha Richards, baptized his children Mary, 4 February 1694; Sarah, 30 November 1695; John, 8 September 1700; and Humphrey, 31 May 1702. Besides these he had one son and one daughter, but whether earlier, later, or one were intermediate was not known to me. By most careful scrutiny of records at New London performed by Miss Caulkins; yet happily Davie became town clerk of Groton, when it was incorporated 1704, and in his own writing is this list of his children: Mary, born 30 June 1693; Sarah, 21 October 1695; Elizabeth, 17 March 1698; John, 27 July 1700; Humphrey, 12 April 1702; and William, 22 March 1706. His residence had been in that part of New London, for he says, "all born in the town now called Groton." He owned a house with 2 and 1/2 acres on Beacon hill in Boston, and part of a powder-mill at Dorchester. He was collector of taxes 1694, selectman 1696, and was styled yeoman 1699. In 1704 he was active in promoting incorporation of East part of New London, as Groton. He lived there. When he became heir to the estate and succeeded to the title of his grandfather Sir John Davie, he left his concerns to the management of his brother-in-law, then became Governor of Connecticut who describes himself "Attorney to Sir John Davie of Creedy, County Devon, within the kingdom of England, Baronet." Hinman, 228, says his wife Elizabeth was in 1709, wife of Jonathan Taylor; but some doubt is felt about this.

SAMUEL DAVIE, Boston 1668. A widow Mary Davie of Charlestown had there baptized William, aged 13, on 11 August 1689.

ANDREW DAVIS, or ANDREW DAVIES, New London, perhaps son of John Davis of that town. He married before 1684, Mary Bayley, daughter of Thomas Bayley, and left descendants.

ANTHONY DAVIS, or ANTHONY DAVIES, Boston. He died June 1674, leaving wife Elizabeth

BARNABY DAVIS, or BARNABY DAVIES, Charlestown 1636, or after, came in the Blessing, 1635, aged 36. He died 27 November 1685, aged about 86. Frothingham, 152, has his name 1668 at division of wood and commons on Mistick side; and page 183, has Barnaby junior, probably his son born about 1638, in the list of householders 1678. Other children were Nathaniel, Hopewell, James, Samuel, and Patience, who married William Ridland.

BENJAMIN DAVIS, or BENJAMIN DAVIES, Boston 1670, son of William Davis, merchant, a Major, and of artillery company 1673. He married Sarah Richards, daughter of James Richards of Hartford. He was freeman 1690. He was one of the founders of Brattle Street Church. He died 26 November 1704.

By wife Sarah, had Samuel, born 11 April 1689; Judith, 2 June 1691; Cornelius, 9 October 1693; James, 5 April 1695, died 1697; Elizabeth, 15 July 1697. His wife having died 6 March 1696. The last child was by second wife Elizabeth Hidden who he married 1696.

DOLOR DAVIS, or DOLOR DAVIES, DOLLARD DAVIS, or DOLLARD DAVIES, or DOLLAR DAVIS, or DOLLAR DAVIES, Cambridge 1634. Is said to have married 1625 in England, Margery Willard, daughter of Richard, sister of Simon Willard, if so, he was probably from Kent, and this conjecture is confirmed to me by collateral evidence. Yet the graveyard at Benefield in County Northampton, as Dr. Palfrey assures me, contains the names of his ancestors. His wife and children John, aged 9, Mary, 4, and Elizabeth 1, embarked at London, April 1635, in the Elizabeth, to follow him. He removed about 1640, and had land that year in Duxbury, and was of that church when he removed to Barnstable and joined that 27 August 1648, with his wife but had his daughter Ruth baptized at Barnstable 24 March 1645. He was freeman of that Colony 1646; and in the list of those able to bear arms 1643, is this man's name "and his sons." Who may be intended by the last word, is not precisely understood, but probably John alone. Yet at the end of that list stand John and Nicholas, who might well, therefore, be thought brothers certainly not son. But two sons he did have, Simon, and Samuel, both younger by much than John, who was executor of his will. Before removing to Duxbury he lived some years at Concord, and was one of the proprietors of Groton 1655, engaged in its first settlement and made one of its selectmen by the General Court of the Colony. Still it is not likely, that he ever inhabited in the new plantation, but leaving his younger son to reside at Concord, went back to Barnstable and there died 1673. His daughter Ruth married 1663, it is said, Stephen Hall; and Mary, who married 15 June 1653, Thomas Lewis of Barnstable was probably another

DOLOR DAVIS, or DOLOR DAVIES, Barnstable, son probably of John Davis of the same.

He throve by his trade, for the inventory valued one fourth of George Munjoy's ship Swan, and five sixteenths of Benjamin Munjoy's ship Delight. His widow married 14 January 1656, John Brimblecome, first, who was one of the witnesses to his will, and for third husband Thomas Chadwell. His will, made 23 September 1654, was probated 25 April 1655. And anticipating the mother of his wife again, he made various provisions for the two sons.

He had after first destruction of Falmouth, estate set out 1680, but on second destruction probably moved to safer quarters. Willis, I. 160, 209.

Probably he removed to York, and was there in 1652. His will, of 27 April 1667, probated 12 March 1670, refers not to any sons yet opens many remote relations, or perhaps those of his wife as cousin Barnard, the wife of Matthew of Boston; cousin William Locke of Woburn (spelled Owborne); daughter Astine's (or Austin's) children, Mary and Sarah, besides Mary, Elizabeth, and Mehitable Dodd.

NICHOLAS DAVIS, or NICHOLAS DAVIES, Barnstable, able to bear arms 1643, when he is last on the list, so that possibly it may be an error, as Hamblen puts him into a list of inhabitants. Administered after 1660. He may have been of Newport 1638, and there learned the strange policy of toleration in religion. In Sewel, I. 388, it is said he favored the Quakers at their first coming. He had wife Mary, and was banished from Massachusetts for his peaceful pravity. At Newport he was drowned before 24 July 1672, as Roger Williams in his big book against the Quakers, page 26, tells that in his public conference, there, with the friends of George Fox, he made good use of the event.

PHILIP DAVIS, or PHILIP DAVIES, Plymouth 1638, removed to Duxbury after. Farmer MS.

PHILIP DAVIS, or PHILIP DAVIES, Hartford, came, perhaps, in the Confidence from Southampton 1638, aged 12; but if so, be probably was first at Newbury, where William Ilsley, with whom he came, pitched his tent.

But in Genealogical Registrar XV. 133, his surname is wildly turned to Doves. Probably he is the freeman of 1645, and perhaps brother of George Davis. It may be, that his widow married 6 May 1663, Jonathan Hayward.

He married 12 December 1660, Mary Blood, daughter of James Blood, had Simon, born 2 October 1661; Mary, 3 October 1663; Sarah, 15 March 1666; James, 19 June 1668; Ellen, 22 October 1672; Ebenezer, 1676; and Hannah, 1 April 1679. He was freeman 1690 and Representative.

SIMON DAVIS, or SIMON DAVIES was of Bristol, February 1689, with wife and one child.

STEPHEN DAVIS, or STEPHEN DAVIES, Hartford 1646, freeman of Connecticut 1658.

SYLVANUS DAVIS, or SYLVANUS DAVIES, Sheepscot 1659, swore allegiance to the King 1665, wounded by the Indians 1676 at Arowsick, when Captain Lake was killed. Removed to Falmouth 1680, there had command of the fort in the next Indians war, taken by the French and Indians combined force, 20 May 1690, carried to Canada. After his return was put into the Council the Charter of William and Mary 1691; wrote an account of the conduct of the war, which is in 3 Massachusetts History Collections I. 101. He lived at Hull in latter days. He died 1704, leaving wife but no children. His will, 8 April 1703, probated 6 May 1704, gives all his quarter of Casco lands to 3 daughters of James English, each of them paying £3. To his wife and all his other estate to John Nelson, he "promising justice and kindness" to Davis's wife. Willis, I. 161, 209.

THEOPHILUS DAVIS, or THEOPHILUS DAVIES, Saco, constable in 1636. Folsom, 33,121. It is almost certain that he soon removed.

THOMAS DAVIS, or THOMAS DAVIES, Newbury, a sawyer, from Marlborough in County Wilts, came in the James 1635, embarked at Southampton in April, arriving at Boston 3 June, freeman 2 June 1641. He removed next year to Haverhill, where he had son Joseph, and died 1683, aged 80. He brought Says Coffin, wife Christian from England and his posterity is numerous. This name among the passengers from Southampton in the James, by record at State Paper office. Somerby read Thomas James. It seems a wild error of his or mine; but if my reading be correct, his surname may be that of the ship.

THOMAS DAVIS, or THOMAS DAVIES, Saco, an early settler assessed towards public worship 1636.

THOMAS DAVIS, or THOMAS DAVIES, Boston, son of William Davis. He married 12 September 1689, Hannah Allen (daughter of one whom no research of mine, or even of Shurtleff, can identify), daughter of Governor Leverett, had Thomas Davis, the Secretary of the Province of New Hampshire 1692. The late, beloved, John Davis, editor of Morton's Memorandum President of the Massachusetts History Society, about forty years Judge of the District Court of the U. S. He was not, in male line, of New England ancestry, but was son of Thomas Davis, who was born 1722 at Albany, whither his father had removed from North Carolina.

TOBIAS DAVIS, or TOBIAS DAVIES Roxbury, brother of Richard Davis of the same. He married Sarah Morrill, daughter of Isaac Morrill, had Sarah, born 10 February 1647. His wife died 23 January 1649 by church records, but 15 February 1649 says the town. He married 13 December next, Bridget Kinsman, had John, born 17 April 1651; Tobias, 10 June 1653; Isaac, 7 December 1655, who died at 27 years; Samuel, baptized with the three preceding 12 June 1659, who died young; Samuel, again, 24 March 1661, died at 18; and Abigail, in town record said to be born 6 September 1671. He was of artillery company 1666. He died 25 April 1690.

TRISTRAM DAVIS, or TRISTRAM DAVIES, Scituate, son of Robert Davis of Yarmouth. He married 1694, perhaps for second wife Sarah Archer of Braintree, had Elizabeth, born 1695. He removed as Deane thinks, but yet supposes Hannah Davis who married there 1709 to be a daughter.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Boston. By wife Mary, had Abigail, born 31 October 1635, died at 4 years; Thomas, 15 March 1637, died young; Aaron, 20 July 1638, died next year; John, who died young, in 1641; Trine, 10 August 1642; Mary, 3 October 1644, perhaps died soon; and Thomas, again, 8, baptized 7 September 1645. The Book of possessions in early days shows William Davis senior and William Davis junior, in Boston, but who was father of these children is to be determined. I fear, only by conjecture one was a gunsmith, and one was dead 10 November 1655, when Isaac Collamore gave in the inventory of his estate only £7. His widow Mary soon married John Cowdall

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, New Haven 1639. He had John Davis, Harvard College 1651, the scholar, before mentioned, lost on his voyage to England. He died 1659, leaving widow Martha Wakeman, who was sister of John Wakeman, and she died 1663. His only surviving child Sarah married William Russell, and to educate his son Noadiah, the grandmother left £60.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Salem 1639, had that year grant of land, probably removed to Boston or elsewhere, may be the mariner, who at Boston made his will 14 September 1655, as in Genealogical Registrar V. 298, and Ib. IX. 141.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Boston, apothecary. He was administered of the church 28 July 1644, in which year he married Margaret Pynchon, daughter of William Pynchon of Springfield, perhaps a second wife. By her he had several children of whom Thomas, born 3 September 1645, may have been one; also, Benjamin; Elizabeth; Ephraim, who died 2 August 1652; and William, the last, born 25 June 1663. His wife died 3 July 1663. He married next, Huldah Symmes, daughter of Reverend Zechariah Symmes, had Mary, born 3 December 1656; Rebecca, 3 August 1658; Huldah, 21 December 1659; Ruth, 12 February 1662; John, 10 June 1663; and Deborah, 13 April 1665, died young. By another wife Judith, had Margaret, 13 November 1667; and perhaps Hannah. He had still another wife Sarah, and hope of progeny by her when he made his will, in which all of these children except Deborah, are mentioned. He was a man of wealth, enterprise, and discretion, artillery company 1643, freeman 1645, a Captain, Representative for Springfield 1652, where probably he lived some few years also for Haverhill 1668, was employed as commander of a troop in Ninigret's troubles, joint commissioner in 1653 with Leverett to the Dutch Governor at New York, and one of the founders of the Third Church. His will, made 17 May 1676, probated 26 May 1676, being only two days after his death, 24 May 1676. He gave £400 to wife Sarah, and contains many particulars. His widow married Captain Edward Palmes of New London.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Roxbury, probably brother of Tobias Davis, freeman 1673. He had John, born 1 October 1643; Samuel, 21 February 1645; Joseph, whose date, presumed, is 12 October 1649. His wife Elizabeth died or was buried 4 Mar 1658. He married 21 October next Alice Thorp, who had William and Elizabeth baptized 14 June 1663. Perhaps they were not living when this second wife died 1667, probably soon after birth of Jonathan, 28 February of that year. He had, also, Matthew, but I know not the day of his birth or whether he were not by a third wife made executrix but not named in his will of 6 December 1683, in which he mentioned all these children, and that Matthew and Jonathan are under age. He died 9 December 1683, aged 66.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Boston. By wife Mary Parker, daughter of Nicholas Parker, had Joanna, born 16 August 1655. I presume, that the same man by wife Susanna, had Joanna, born 26 July 1657. He sold his estate in 1658, and went to Barbados.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Marblehead, a petitioner 1668 against imposters.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Roxbury, perhaps son of William Davis the first of Boston. He had Mary, born 28 March 1669; Ann, 24 December 1670; next record of 1672 gives him Benjamin, 31 May, and Rachel, 26 August but whose record of the two is false is uncertain; perhaps the year 1674 is omitted for the latter child Ichabod, 1 April 1676; Ebenezer, 9 April 1678; William, 3 January 1680; Sarah, 20 July 1681; and Isaac, 18 April 1683; and a William, perhaps the same. He died there 23 January 1706.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Boston, mariner. In his will 31 October 1690, not probated before 5 August 1701, gives estate to wife Mary and children not named.

WILLIAM DAVIS, or WILLIAM DAVIES, Haverhill. He married 31 December 1700, Mary Kelly, daughter of John Kelly, junior, of Newbury.

ZACHARY DAVIS, or ZACHARY DAVIES, Newbury, son of John Davis of the same. He married 4 February 1681, Judith Brown, had Judith, born 7 September 1684, died at 18 years; and Elizabeth, 26 April 1687. In many instances, some of the above named are spelled Davies, as well as Davis; and the utmost care, in arranging relationships between parties with a name so widely diffused will sometimes be at fault. "A courageous soldier," is the designation of a Sergeant Davis in the Pequot war 1637; but who can individualize him? There came in the Elizabeth 1635, from London to Boston, Margaret Davis, aged 32, with her children John, 9; Mary, 4; and Elizabeth 1; the wife and family no doubt a Dolor who had come a year or two before. Twenty of this name had in 1834 been graduates at Harvard, and as many more at the other New England Colleges.

DANIEL DAVISON, Ipswich, probably son of Nicholas Davison, removed to Newbury. He married Abigail Coffin, daughter of Peter Coffin of Dover, had Nicholas, born 16 May 1680; Sarah, 1 February 1682; Daniel, 23 May 1686; Mary, 21 May, 1689; and Peter, 20 October 1692. He was a man of note, artillery company 1672, Major of the County regiment, had lived first at Charlestown, and was a merchant in 1676. By wife Abigail, had Abigail, baptized 13 February of that year; and Joanna, 29 April 1677; both at Charlestown. He may have short time removed to Stonington.

NICHOLAS DAVISON, Charlestown 1639, one of the chief men, agent of Governor Cradock. By wife Joanna Hodges, had Daniel; and Sarah, who married 24 March 1665, Joseph Lynde. He was of artillery company 1648. He went home 1635, probably on business, and came back 1656, in the Speedwell, then 45 years old, and died 1664, leaving good estate. His will of 26 March 1655, made in view of a voyage to Barbados, thence towards England, probated 11 July 1664, names wife Joan, children Daniel and Sarah, brother John Davison of whom he knows not where he was, sister-in-law Mary Hodges, wife of brother-in-law John Anderson, two nephews or nieces, perhaps not in our country, and children of brother Jeremy Davidson who was married and lived at Lynn, England as late as 1652. An Indians sagamore gave him mortgage of Nahant. His inventory included land in Boston, Charlestown, Pemaquid, and about 2100 acres near Windsor on both sides of the Connecticut was £1869.11.11.

PETER DAVISON, Stonington, about 1680 or 90, was perhaps brother of Daniel Davison, or of

AMBROSE DAWES, Boston, son of William Dawes, freeman 1671. He married Mary Bumstead, daughter of Thomas Bumstead, had Mary, born 24 September 1664; Rebecca, 25 February 1666; Susanna,19 March 1668, died young; William, 19 December 1671; Susannah, again, 11 January 1674; Joseph, 21 October 1677; and Thomas, 1 November 1680.

FRANCIS DAWES, Boston. He had Elizabeth who married 16 October 1659, Samuel Miles. This man may have written his name Dowse.

JOHN DAWES, Windsor 1647, in 1653 banished from the Colony for threatening Governor Hopkins, may have, but not probably come for refuge to Boston. There by wife Mary, had Robert, born 29 March 1655; Mary, 12 April 1657; and Samuel, 1 May 1660.

WILLIAM DAWES, Braintree, came in the Planter 1635, a bricklayer, aged 15, by the custom house regulation in London. He married Susanna Mills, eldest daughter of John Mills, had Ambrose, born 24 July 1642. He removed to Boston in 1652, there had William, born 8 March 1655; and Robert about 1656. He was freeman 1646. He died 24 March 1703, aged 86, says the record. I think he had, also, Hannah, 7 January 1660; but the record gives her to John and Susanna, and very good reason is known for distrust of that volume. Robert Dawes was a soldier under Captain Turner 1676, on Connecticut river. Susan Dawes, possibly a sister aged 16, came in the Blessing 1635, later in the year.

JOSEPH DAWSE, Charlestown, is printed as one of Moseley's company December 1675, perhaps for Dowse.

DANIEL DAWSON, Ipswich, may easily be misprinted for Davison. But Coffin, in Genealogical Registrar VI. 250 calls widow 1693, Margaret. Yet she may have been second wife of Davison.

GEORGE DAWSON, Boston 1679, a Quaker, who had been whipped for attending the meeting 1677.

HENRY DAWSON, Boston, administered of the church 16 May 1641, freeman 2 June after, a laborer, whose wife was in England. He was in the employment of William Hudson junior, who when he went to serve in the Parliament's cause against the King, left the care of his family two years to this young man, in consequence of which he was brought into great peril of his life, as set forth in Winthrop II. 249. Probably he repented soon, for he was in October 1646, restored to his rank.

HENRY DAWSON, Boston, a soldier, in the company of Captain William Turner in February at Medfield, and on Connecticut river April 1676, under Captain Pierce, freeman 1678.

HENRY DAWSON, Boston, perhaps son of the preceding if not the same, freeman 1690. He had baptized at Second Church Thomas, 22 November 1691; James, 9 February 1696; Hannah, 20 March 1698; and Elizabeth, 31 March 1700.

ROBERT DAWSON, New Haven, had John, born 1677. By first wife Sarah Tuttle, daughter of William Tuttle, as erroneous has been said, and next married next Hannah Russell, daughter of John Russell, had Thomas, born 1693.

JOSIAS DAWSTIN, Medford or Reading 1640, by the first deed in Suffolk registered took grant of his message from Matthew Cradock, Esq. of London, skinner, former Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony 26 April 1641. In Reading records of birth of his children Hannah, 20 February 1649, who died November following, and Sarah, 25 September 1653, the name is given without wife.

ANTHONY DAY, Gloucester 1645. He had wife Susanna, and seven children: John born 28 April 1657; Ezekiel, 12 March 1660, died soon; Ezekiel, again, 19 May 1662; Nathaniel, 9 September 1665; Elizabeth, 2 April 1667; Samuel, 25 February 1670; and Joseph, 4 April 1672; besides elder ones, Thomas, and Timothy, of unknown dates. He died 23 April 1707, aged 90. His widow died 10 December 1717, aged 93.

EZEKIEL DAY, Gloucester, son of Anthony Day. He married 27 January 1690, Mary Rowe, daughter of Hugh Rowe. He died 18 February 1725, leaving five sons Ezekiel, Pelatiah, Samuel, Nathaniel, and Jonathan. He was one of the witnesses 15 July 1692, to the invasion by the French or Indians or Devils, whose story is in its proper place in Mather, Magnalia VII. 83.

ISAAC DAY, Cambridge. By wife Susanna, had Robert, born 24 October 1686; and Susanna, 28 November 1688. Robert Day died 4 February 1688. He was a London citizen embroiderer, but when he came, who was his wife, when he removed, are matters unknown. Probably he left in the summer of 1692.

JOHN DAY, I can find no proper habitation. Yet one is seen subscribed to memorial, 1668, at Salem, against imposters. He was son of Thomas Day. He married 6 July 1668 Ann Coleman, had Ann, born 18 October 1669; John, 24 January 1671; and Stephen, 16 October 1673. This John Day died June 1680, and to his widow Ann, administration was given 1 July 1680. Perhaps he had Mary, who married 20 August 1666, a Coldfax.

JOHN DAY, Hartford, son of Robert Day, of the same. By wife Sarah Maynard, had Joseph, born about 1675; John, 1677; Thomas; Mary; Maynard; Sarah, baptized 19 September 1686; William, 24 April 1692; and Joseph, again, 14 June 1699.

JOHN DAY, Boston 1677, a merchant. He died 1677. In his will of 4 September 1677 calls himself of Frome Woodlands, near Warminster, in Wiltshire, on the border of Somersetshire, and gives all his property to brother Robert Day of the same place; and probably had no wife or children.

JOHN DAY, Dedham, eldest son of Ralph Day, was probably a soldier of Moseley's company December 1676. He married 22 May 1678, Abigail Pond, had John, born 11 October 1679. He removed to Wrentham, there had Ralph, 9 December 1681; Abigail, 12 January 1684, who died young; Jonathan, 12 or 21 March 1689; and Abigail, again, 1 January or, as another account has it, perhaps by mistake of the numeral for the month 1 November 1693; and perhaps other children.

JOHN DAY, Gloucester, brother of Ezekiel Day. He married 12 December 1682, Abigail Leach, who died 9 February 1726, aged 63. He was a witness to spectral delusions in July 1692, as set forth in the Magnalia.

JOSEPH DAY, Gloucester, son probably youngest of Anthony Day. He married 15 August 1696, Elizabeth Gouge, says Babson, had Jeremiah, William, and several daughters, perhaps also Joseph.

MATTHEW DAY, Cambridge, printer, son of Stephen Day, born in England, Steward of the College 1645, freeman 1646. He made his nuncupable will 10 May 1649, died soon after. Harris, Epitaph says the town record marked his burial on the same day, 10 May 1649. That document which is in Genealogical Registrar III. 181, leads us to infer that he had no wife or children, though little child Moses Day is named who was probably his brother, but Mr. Paige gives strong sanction to the opinion that he was son of William Bordman, who married a niece of Day. He gave liberally to the College £4, to Elder Frost, and something to several others, yet most to his mother who was present. His name is in the imprint of Danforth's Almanac, 1647.

NATHANIEL DAY, Gloucester, son of Anthony Day. He married 13 February 1690, Ruth Rowe, daughter of Hugh Rowe, had Benjamin, Nathaniel, David, and seven daughters. He probably removed before 1721.

RALPH DAY, Dedham, freeman 1645. He died 28 October 1677. In his will of 12 September 1677, wife Abigail Pond, who was daughter of Daniel Pond, and children John, Ralph, Mary, who was wife of John Paine, Abigail, and son-in-law John Ruggles, are named. But his first wife was Susan Fairbanks, daughter of Jonathan Fairbanks, who in 1668 mentioned her four children in his will, and they are found in Dedham church record to be Elizabeth, baptized 3 July 1648, taken with the town record that shows Mary, born 9 November 1649; Susan, 1652; and John, 15 April 1654; while the next is found Abigail, daughter of Ralph Day and Abigail, April 1661.

RALPH DAY, Dedham, son of the preceding, freeman 1690. He married 10 August 1681, Sarah Fuller, daughter of Thomas Fuller, had Ralph, born 28 October 1683; Thomas, 19 June 1686; Sarah; Mary; Jeremiah, 23 September 1693; and Abiel.

ROBERT DAY, Cambridge, came in the Elizabeth 1634, from Ipswich, aged 30, with wife Mary 28, freeman 6 May 1636. He went to Hartford, perhaps with Hooker in 1636, or very soon after, had several lots among first proprietors. His first wife died probably before removing. And the mother of his children was Edatha Stebbins, sister of Deacon Edward Stebbins. She is named in his will, 20 May 1648, which is printed in Trumbull's Colony Record of Connecticut I. 487. Though children are provided for, we find neither names nor number. They were Thomas; Sarah, who married September 1658, Nathaniel Gunn of Hartford, and next, 24 November 1664, Samuel Kellogg of Hatfield, and was killed with her son Joseph Kellogg, 19 September 1677, by the Indians; Mary, who married 28 October 1659, Samuel Ely of Springfield, and next, 12 April 1694, Thomas Stebbins, and next, 11 December 1696, Deacon John Coleman of Hatfield, where she died 1725; and John Day, before mentioned. His widow married John Maynard of Hartford, who died without children, leaving to the church "provided they carry themselves well towards" their mother some decent estate. She next married in 1657 or 58, Elizur Holyoke of Springfield, who she survived by twelve years, and she died 24 October 1688. Of descendants of this Robert Day, in the male line, full account is printed by Reverend George E. Day of Northampton.

ROBERT DAY, Ipswich, came in the Hopewell, Captain Bundocke, 1635, from London, aged 30, freeman 2 June 1641, was living in 1681. Perhaps Sarah married at Ipswich 17 June 1674, David Fiske, was his daughter Hannah, who came in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, aged 20, may not have been a relative.

SAMUEL DAY, Gloucester, son of Anthony Day. He married 9 August 1692, Rachel Rowe, daughter of Hugh Rowe, had two children whose names are not seen in Babson, who says she died 6 September 1698, and of the husband no more is known.

STEPHEN DAY, Cambridge, the earliest printer on our side of the ocean, was a locksmith of Cambridge, England, brought over in the John, 1638, by Reverend Josse Glover who died on the voyage. He began business in March 1639, but was, I fear, unthrifty, for in 1647 the Almanac of his press purports to come from his son who was very young, and the year following Greene became ruler in the office. Yet he was enterprising, having for his great service, unluckily, been rewarded by grant of 300 acres in 1641. He was 2 years after engaged in settling of Lancaster, and reduced to work as journeyman of Greene all his latter days. He brought from England wife Rebecca, who had been widow, mother of William Boardman, had Matthew Day, before mentioned, and probably after committed hither had Stephen Day, who died 1 December 1639, and possibly but not probably Moses Day. His wife died 27 October 1659. He was administered of the church 28 February 1661, but was never freeman, and died 22 December 1668, aged 58. A catalogue of books of his printing is given by Thomas Day in his History I. 227-34.

THOMAS DAY, Springfield 1658, son of Robert Day of Hartford. He married 27 October 1659, Sarah Cooper, daughter of Lieutenant Thomas Cooper, had Thomas, born 23 March says the town record but family record says November 1662, the freeman of 1690; Sarah, 14 June 1664; Mary, 15 December 1666; John, 20 February 1669, died soon; Samuel, 20 May 1671; John, again, 20 September 1673; Ebenezer, 8 September 1675, died soon; Ebenezer, again, 5 September 1677; Jonathan, 8 August 1680; and Abigail. Eight of these children lived to marry before his death. He was freeman 1668. He died 27 December 1711, and the widow survived to 21 November 1726.

THOMAS DAY, Gloucester. He married 30 December 1673, Mary Laughton, or Mary Langton, had Thomas, born 27 May 1675; Mary, December 1677; and Joseph, 24 January 1680. His wife and daughter were killed by lightning in his house 15 July 1706. He died 29 January 1726. An earlier

THOMAS DAY, whose inventory was found by Coffin 1670, was perhaps father of the preceding, born about 1651, and of Sarah, about 1652, may have been of Salem, a signer of memorial 1668, against imposters, was father of John Day, another signer. By wife Mary, had Abigail, born 22 December 1667.

TIMOTHY DAY, Gloucester, freeman 1690. He married 24 July 1679, Phebe Wildes, daughter probably of the second John Wildes, who died 8 April 1723, aged 70, had Timothy, Anthony, John, Joseph, Jonathan, Ebenezer, and Susanna, besides some who died infants, as Babson tells.

WENTWORTH DAY, Boston 1640, has prefix of respect on administration to the church 22 September, but called a single man. Soon after marriage had Elizabeth, baptized 26 September 1641, at 8 days old; and Wentworth, 13 August 1643, at 6 days. He was a surgeon at Cambridge, and is honored by Reverend Mr. Hale in his tract on Witchcraft, as saving in 1602, a woman charged with the horrid offence. Perhaps he went home, for one of this unusual name was, in 1668, fined and imprisoned as one of the fifth monarchy men, setting up the imaginary reign of King Jesus to disturb the absolute throne of Oliver Cromwell in his last year. In September 1661, living in London, he had a legacy in the will of Edward Shrimpton.

WILLIAM DAY, Boston 1669, a mariner. Of descendants of first Robert Day, a Reverend was published some years since by Reverend George E. Day, which shows that nineteen had been graduates at Yale, and one at each of the Colleges following Dartmouth College, Williams, Amherst, and Brown, and that ten of the eleven ministers were living at his date of publication. One at Harvard College 1806 was the earliest of the name in that catalogue.

ABRAHAM DAYNES, ABRAHAM DEANS, or ABRAHAM DAINES, New London 1664, supposed to have come from Casco. He married 27 December 1671, Sarah Peake, daughter of William Peake, had Joanna, born February 1672; John, baptized February 1674; Thomas, July 1677. He removed to Norwich, there had Ebenezer, born 27 October 1680; Sarah, 19 January 1683; and Ephraim, 15 January 1686.

RALPH DAYTON, New Haven a 1639, signed the covenant of habitants but not at its format. Yet lived there 10 years. He was of Easthampton, Long Island 1650, and later. Sometimes the name is Daighton.

SAMUEL DAYTON, Southampton, Long Island 1641, probably at New Haven 1646, and Brookhaven about 1655. Perhaps the distinguished family of New Jersey is of this stock.

JOHN DEACON, Lynn. He came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 25, with wife Alice 30, who died 27 July 1657. He was a blacksmith. He married 25 December 1657, Elizabeth Pickering, daughter of John Pickering, who died 30 August 1662. He removed to Boston, was of Mather's church 1669.

CHARLES DEALE, Milford 1658, was encouraged to raise tobacco by grant of land that year, perhaps had been there a year or more. He had wife Pity in 1672, but no children, and he died about 1686.

BENJAMIN DEAN, often with final e, BENJAMIN DEANE, Taunton, son of Walter Dean.

By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 2 January 1661, died soon; John; Thomas; George; Joseph, about 1671; Benjamin; Elizabeth, and Hannah; of not one can the date of birth or death be ascertained, and gladly can we read in family record that Elizabeth married Jonathan Lambert; and that Hannah married 11 June 1701, John Cook; that John, Thomas, and Joseph had families and of George and Benjamin only that they died before 1706.

WILLIAM DEINS, named in a valuable paper on the Sturbridge black lead mine in Genealogical Registrar X. 160, as an overseer of said works, about 1657-59. Gladly should we learn more, but it may well be despaired of; and probably the resident of this skilful man was transient as the prosperity of the undertaking.

JOHN DELANO, early JOHN DELANOYE, JOHN DELAUNY, or JOHN DELANOY, Duxbury, son of Philip Delano the first, was living 1690, but thought he probably had wife and family. Of them nothing is known.

He married 26 February 1678, Mercy Warren, daughter of Nathaniel Warren, had Jonathan, Jabez, Sarah, Mercy, Nathan, Bethia, Susanna, Nathaniel, Esther, Jethro, and Thomas, as in the family scroll insertion, and we may regret that dates are not attained though order of successful is probably preserved. He was constable, town clerk, surveyor, selectman, Lieutenant, and in 1689 Representative. He died 23 December 1720, in 73rd year as Ricketson, 386, copies the inscription on grave stone, but family genealogy says 28 December.

He had children (of which we are uncertain who may be elder or younger, whether all, or part, by first wife) Thomas, Mary, Philip, John, Jane, Rebecca, Jonathan, Esther, and Samuel. But as a family genealogy in MS. has been given to me, though it is confined to the descendants of Jonathan, yet as it purports to give the offspring of the Dewsbury married three sons Samuel, Thomas, and Jonathan, besides one who died soon, it might seem probable that three daughters and one son came of the second marriage. He removed to Bridgewater, was one of the purchasers of Dartmouth 1652, and in 1662, of Middleborough. He died about 1681, about 79 years old. Mary married 29 November 1655, Jonathan Durham.

He married next, 24 October 1692 or 1699, Hannah Warren, widow of Robert Bartlett, daughter of Richard Warren. In Winsor, 226, and 251, the various dates of this second marriage are found. De la Noye was the name at first.

He died 6 April 1709, aged about 63; of course he was past middle age at marriage.

THOMAS DEMING, THOMAS DEMON, or THOMAS DEMENT, Wethersfield, perhaps brother of first John Deming. He married 24 July 1645, Mary Sheaffe, was of Farmington, and removed again to Southampton, Long Island, thence to Easthampton, where posterity is still living. Sometimes in the record the name is Demon, or Dement, and the affinity is exceedingly difficult to be traced with exactness. Eight of this name had, in 1828, been graduates at New England Colleges.

HENRY DENGAYNE, or HENRY DINGHAM, Watertown, a physician, had grants of land in February and June 1637, as Francis in his History Sketch, 132, tells. He married April 1641, Elizabeth Alcock, daughter of Deacon George Alcock, and died of apoplexy, 8 December 1645, as Roxbury church record tells.

THOMAS DENHAM, Rye, in Connecticut jurisdiction in 1681 was 60 years old. In 1677 he had preached at Rye, and the General court voted £10 to encourage his settlement. But no more is known. In Mather’s Hecatompolis he is not seen.

DANIEL DENISON, DANIEL DENYSON, Cambridge 1633, son of William Denison of Roxbury, born in England about 1612, freeman 1 April 1634. He married Patience Dudley, daughter of Governor Thomas Dudley, who survived and was executrix of his will.

His will of 18 July 1673, with codicil of 28 February 1679, and another of 22 December 1680, gives names of his grandchildren is in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 23.

EDWARD DENISON, EDWARD DENYSON, Roxbury, brother of the preceding, born in England. He married 20 March 1641, Elizabeth Weld, daughter of Joseph Weld, had Elizabeth, born 8 August 1642; John, 14 May 1644, died at 4 months; Edward, who died 6 October 1646; Jeremiah, 6 December 1647, baptized 9 January following died May 1649; Joseph, baptized 8 April 1649, died next month; Margaret, born 15, baptized 19 December 1650; Mary, baptized 27 March 1654; Hannah, born 10, baptized 16 September 1655; Sarah, 4 November baptized 6 December 1657, who married Thomas Robinson; Deborah, 16, baptized 23 September 1660, died in 1663; one, without name, buried as soon as born 2 June 1663; William Denison, born 18 September 1664, Harvard College 1681; and Deborah, again, 30 October 1666, died next year, He died 26 April 1668. He had been among the friends of Wheelwright, disarmed in 1637, yet dignified as Mr. but was made freeman 1648, and was Representative in 1652 and 55. His widow Elizabeth died 5 February 1717. The son William and two daughters were the only children of this large number that survived him.

GEORGE DENISON, GEORGE DENYSON, Roxbury, brother of the preceding, born in England about 1620, or perhaps earlier. He married May 1640, Bridget Thomson, had Sarah, baptized 20 March 1642; and Hannah, born 20, baptized 21 May 1643. In August 1643 his wife died, and he went to England, served in the Parliament's army. There found second wife Ann Borrodell, daughter of John Borrodell, or John Borrowdale, who gave her a house in Cork, Ireland. But he came back to Roxbury, had John, born 14 June 1646; Ann, 20 May 1649. He was freeman 1648, and some two or three years after went to Pequot, as New London was called. There had George, 1652; William, 1655; Borrodell, 1657; Margaret, 1660; and Mary, 1670, who died 1671; all baptized 1670.

In his will of 20 November 1693 names John, George, William, besides daughters Sarah, wife of Thomas Stanton, Hannah, wife of Joseph Saxton, Ann, wife of Gershom Palmer, Margaret Brown, and Borrodell, wife of Samuel Stanton. His widow died 26 September 1712, aged 97 by the grave stone.

JAMES DENISON, JAMES DENYSON, New Haven, youngest son of the preceding. He had Jesse, James, Desire, Lydia, Sybil, Abigail, Sarah, and John.

JOHN DENISON, JOHN DENYSON, Ipswich 1648. By Farmer was thought to be a brother of the Major General but I can hardly think so, unless he went home, as we know no more of him.

JOHN DENISON, JOHN DENYSON, Ipswich, only son of Daniel Denison. He married Martha Symonds, daughter of Deputy Governor Symonds, had John Denison, Harvard College 1684 (who was minister of Ipswich, colleague with Hubbard. He married Elizabeth Saltonstall, daughter of Nathaniel Saltonstall. He died soon, in September 1689, leaving only child John Denison, Harvard College 1710. The widow married Reverend Rowland Cotton; and had Daniel; and Martha. She died 9 January 1671. His widow before death of his father had married Richard Martin, who may have been son of Samuel Martin. Martha. He married Matthew Whipple, She died 12 September 1728, aged 60.

JOHN DENISON, JOHN DENYSON, Stonington, eldest son of George Denison the first. He married 1667, Phebe Lay, daughter of Robert Lay of Saybrook, had Phebe, born 1667; John, January 1669; George Denison, 28 March 1671, Harvard College 1693, a man of much distinction; Robert, 17 September 1673; William, 7 April 1677; Daniel, 28 March 1680; Samuel, 23 February 1683, died soon; Ann, 3 October 1684; and Sarah, 29 July 1692; besides Phebe, born probably between Ann and Sarah, as she has that order of success in father's will. He died 1698. His eldest son had the Saybrook land given to his mother by her father and died 1699, having had three sons and one daughter. George Denison was clerk of the Courts. Robert had Robert Denison, who at the taking of Louisburg 1745, was Captain in Governor Wolcott's regiment, and for good service was made Major.

JOHN DENISON, JOHN DENYSON, New Haven, son of first James Denison. He married Grace Brown, daughter of John Brown, had Abigail, born 13 November 1705; Sarah and John, twins 10 May 1708, of who John died soon; Elizabeth, 28 August 1710; Mehitable, 2 October 1713; and Mary, 29 March 1716.

ROBERT DENISON, ROBERT DENYSON, Milford, about 1645. He had Samuel, born 1656; Esther, 1658; and Hannah, 1662. He removed 1667 with Branford people to Newark, New Jersey.

WILLIAM DENISON, WILLIAM DENYSON, Roxbury. He came with wife Margaret, and sons Daniel, Edward and George, before mentioned. In 1631 was, perhaps in the Lion with Winthrop's wife and eldest son besides apostle Eliot. In the record of which church he stands third in the list. He was freeman 3 July 1632, Representative 1635, but in 1637 takes side with Wheelwright, and was disarmed. His wife died 3 February 1646, in the church record of Eliot's affection, called "old mother Denison". He died 25 January 1654.

WILLIAM DENISON, WILLIAM DENYSON, Boston, lived at Pulling point. He married 27 October 1659, Mary Parker.

He married Sarah Stanton, widow of the second Thomas Prentice of Newton, daughter of Thomas Stanton the first, had William, baptized 1686; Sarah, born 1689; and George, 1692. He died 26 March 1715, aged 59.

WILLIAM DENISON, WILLIAM DENYSON, Roxbury, son of Edward Denison, freeman 1690, was Representative 1692. He married 12 May 1686, Dorothy Weld, daughter of Thomas Weld; but the town record has no children. He died 22 March 1718. His widow married 28 April 1720, Samuel Williams the second. Of this name six had been graduates in 1834 at Harvard but not one within 90 years, and of them I am uncertain about the parentage of Daniel, in 1690, and George, in 1693, but the earlier has the star mark in the catalogue of 1698. At other New England Colleges seven had been graduates besides two with double names.

ALEXANDER DENMAN, perhaps of Hampton. He married about 1678, the widow of Abraham Perkins, junior, probably daughter of Thomas Sleeper.

JOHN DENMAN, Dorchester. He had Mary who married Clement Maxfield. But great uncertainty prevails with reference to his residence as no success in following the search for line in Dorchester. In the administration on estate of widow Smead by her brother Israel Stoughton, 1639, of Dorchester this man is entitled to a share of her property as well as his daughter Maxfield.

PHILIP DENMAN, Derby. He had born there, Mary, in 1678; Elizabeth 1680; Sarah, 1682; Micah, 1684; and Hannah. He died 1698. In his will mentioned wife and the five children.

WILLIAM DENNING, Boston 1634, was in the employment of William Brenton, and perhaps came with him the year preceding. He died 20 January 1654. By his will made 18 January 1654, probated 31 January 1654, his wife Ann and son Obadiah are named, but the latter absent, and the father gives him, "in case he doth not come personally into the country," for half the testator’s estate "twenty shillings and no more."

EDWARD DENNIS, Boston 1636. By wife Sarah, had Sarah, baptized 9 August 1640, and Mary, at 6 days old, 3 July 1642; Martha, born 1, baptized 5 May 1644; John, 18, baptized 22 February 1646; and Joseph, 13 June 1648. He came in the employment of William Hutchinson. His widow Sarah married 15 August 1656, Abner Ordway of Watertown.

GEORGE DENNIS, New London 1680, came thither from Long Island. He married 26 January 1681, Elizabeth Raymond, daughter of Joshua Raymond, had Ebenezer, born 23 October 1682.

JAMES DENNIS, Boston. By wife Mary, had John, born 6 December 1653; and John, again, 4 August 1655, both died soon; Mary, 4 August 1660; James; Amos; and Agnes. He may have lived at Marblehead 1674, and later.

ROBERT DENNIS, Yarmouth 1643-1669. He had there Mary, born 19 September 1649.

ROBERT DENNIS, Newport, perhaps son of the preceding. He married 19 November 1672, Sarah Howland of Duxbury, (says the Friend's record of Newport) perhaps daughter of John Howland the second, had Mary, born 20 September 1673; Robert, 6 November 1677; Sarah, 31 October 1679; and John, 15 August 1682.

THOMAS DENNIS, Boston 1630. He came in the fleet with Winthrop, had Thomas, born on the voyage, probably therefore on board the Jewell, 29 May, as related by Winthrop I. 21. He removed to New Jersey and was a proprietor of Woodbridge, and its Representative 1668. Samuel Dennis, possibly his son, was of the council in that Province 1684-92.

THOMAS DENNIS, Boston 1657, probably son of the preceding. He married Mary Beamsley, widow of Robison, daughter of William Beamsley, who mentioned her in his will.

WILLIAM DENNIS, Scituate. He made his will 16 February 1650, as by the abstract in Genealogical Registrar V. 335, is shown, but though his wife Judith is made executrix and he gives only to son-in-law William Parker and Remember, Dependence, and Experience Litchfield, child of Lawrence, who had married Judith, daughter of his wife no doubt. Yet there may be doubt whether any children of his mentions Parker or Litchfield.

HENRY DENSLOW, Windsor 1644, probably was from Dorchester. He had Susanna, born 3 September 1646; Mary, 10 April 1651; Ruth, 19 September 1653; Abigail, 5 February 1656; Deborah, 21 December 1657; Samuel, 19 December 1659; Hannah, 1 March 1662; and Elizabeth, 11 February 1666.

JOHN DENSLOW, Windsor, perhaps brother of the preceding or of Nicholas Denslow, or both, freeman of Connecticut 1657. He married 7 June 1655, Mary Eggleston, had John, born 13 August 1656; Mary, 10 March 1658; Thomas, 22 April 1661; Deborah, 29 May 1663; Joseph, 12 April 1665; Benjamin, 30 March 1668; Abraham, 8 March 1670; George, 8 April 1672; Isaac, 12 April 1674; and Abigail, 7 November 1677, who died at 12 years; besides Abraham, 8 March 1679. He died 10 September 1689.

NICHOLAS DENSLOW, Dorchester 1630, perhaps came in the Mary and John, or in the fleet with Winthrop, freeman 4 March 1633. He removed about 1640 to Windsor. He died March 1667. By wife Elizabeth, who died 13 August 1669, had no sons but two daughters Joan, who married Aaron Cook, as his second wife and Temperance, who married Thomas Buckland.

SAMUEL DENSLOW, Windsor, son of Henry Denslow. He had Hannah, born 14 November 1690; Elizabeth, 9 March 1693; Sarah, 13 February 1695; Samuel, 14 July 1697; Benjamin, 29 March 1701; and Joseph, 24 March 1704.

DANIEL DENTON, Jamaica, Long Island 1656, perhaps eldest son of Reverend Richard Denton, a justice in 1666, perhaps went to England, at least he published 1670 at London a brief description of New York etc. but after few years returned to our country and fixed himself at Springfield. He married 24 April 1676, Hannah Leonard, daughter of John Leonard, perhaps as second or third wife, had Hannah, born 1677; Samuel, 1679; and Sarah, 1681. He was probably a school-master, certainly a physician, always had prefix of respect in the record. He called himself in 1684, of Westfield, but removed to Jamaica 1686. But at Springfield Abigail Denton, probably his daughter by former wife, married 9 October 1682, Benjamin Stebbins.

RICHARD DENTON, Wethersfield about 1640, bred at the University of Cambridge where he had his A.B. 1623, being of Catherine Hall. He perhaps came over in 1638, or 39; and we fear, that the long dissentions at Wethersfield about Reverend Henry Smith made it desirable for him to remove about 1644. He he went to Stamford, and after few months or years to Hempstead, Long Island, where he died 1663. Probably he had family perhaps Daniel Denton, before mentioned. We learn from Mather that he had been a minister at Halifax in Yorkshire and the most of his chapter 9 in Book III. 95 is taken up with telling that he was a little man, blind of one eye, and wrote a system of divinity. Better authority tells that he was of good family and had, in 1631, curacy of Coley Chapel in that large parish.

RICHARD DENTON, Dorchester. He married 11 December 1657, Ruth Tileston, daughter of Thomas Tileston. He died 28 December 1658. His widow married 13 October 1663, Timothy Foster.

CHARLES DERBY, Salem, son of Roger Derby. He died 8 October 1690 in the crusade against Quebec.

EDWARD DERBY, Weymouth, perhaps son of the preceding. By wife Ruth, had Edward, born 18 May 1688; and Samuel, 1 May 1689.

FRANCIS DERBY, Warwick, died 1663. His will of October 1663 mentions wife Ann, eldest son Francis, and other children without naming them. The widow married John Read. Her son Francis was born 20 January 1660; and Eleazer, 21 March 1662.

FRANCIS DERBY, Warwick, son of the preceding. He had his house burned by the Indians. Removed to Southold, Long Island, before April 1683.

JOHN DERBY, Plymouth 1637, son of Christopher Derby, from west part of Dorset shire. He removed to Yarmouth before 1643, and was dead in February 1652, yet his inventory is of 22 February 1656. He had a son born "the last of February" 1648, whose name is lost from the record; and Matthew, 8 February 1650.

RICHARD DERBY, Salem, son of Roger Derby. He married 25 February 1702, Martha Haskett, had John, born 27 December 1702; Mary, 9 January 1707; Richard, 12 September 1712; and Martha. He died 25 July 1715.

ROGER DERBY, Ipswich 1671. He came from Topsham in Devonshire. He removed 1681 to Salem, there died 1698. In England he had married 23 August 1668, Lucretia Kilham, or Lucretia Hilman, who died 25 May 1689, and had Charles, born in England 27 July 1669; Experience, 18 December 1671; Samuel, 24 November 1673; Roger, 1 January 1675; John, 25 February 1677; Richard, 8 October 1679; Lucretia, 17 August 1681; and Ebenezer, 9 July 1683, died at 5 years. His wife died 25 May 1689. He took a second wife Elizabeth by whom he had Elizabeth, 14 March 1692; Margaret, 10 December 1695; and Martha, 11 September 1697. His eldest son died in the sad expedition of Phips, 1690. Martha married 1719, Joshua Hicks. He was a shopkeeper, assisted by his wife in that way. He was founder of the distinguished family of this name, great grandfather of Elias Hasket Derby who died 1799 at Salem.

ROGER DERBY, Salem, son of the preceding. By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 10 March 1692; Margaret, 14 August 1693; Ann, 10 December 1695; and Martha, 30 September 1697. Variations of this patronymic to Dorby and Darby may be presumed. Nine of this name included Reverend Jonathan Dorby 1747, minister of Scituate, a man of great promise, great grandson of Edward Derby before mentioned. Had been graduates in 1828 at Harvard and one at Bowd.

GEORGE DERING, or GEORGE DEERING, Scarborough 1645. Maine History Collections I. 288. See Dearing.

HENRY DERING, or HENRY DEERING, Boston 1663, born as the family genealogy has it, 16 August 1639. He married 8 June 1664, Ann Benning, daughter of Ralph Benning, had Ann, born 31 May 1667. He married next, 15 November 1676, Elizabeth Mitchelson, widow of Theodore Atkinson, daughter of Edward Mitchelson, had Elizabeth, born 4 January 1679; Mary and Martha, twins 1682, both died young; and Henry, 6 October 1684. He was Ensign in one of the Boston military companies. He and his wife were buried 1717 in one grave; as in another were Robert Winsor and wife the same evening. Hutchinson II. 223. Elizabeth married William Welsteed.

HENRY DERING, or HENRY DEERING, Boston, son of the preceding. He married 8 February 1709, Elizabeth Packer, had Henry, born 1712, died soon; Henry, again, 1713, died young; Elizabeth, 20 November 1715; Mary, 17 February 1718; Thomas, 16 May 1720; Henry, third, 1722, died young; Ann, 6 October 1724; Mitchelson, 1726, died young; Sarah, 1728, died young; Abigail, 1730, died young; Sarah, again, 25 November 1732; and Henry, fourth, 13 January 1735. The family name was perpetuated by Thomas. But another Deering family which I am unable to get account of, was of Braintree, and spread to Wrentham.

ISAAC DESBOROUGH, Lynn. He came in the Hopewell, Captain Bundock, from London 1635, aged 18. He was of Elltisley, about 12 miles from Cambridge, England. He was, no doubt, relative of Major General John Desborough, who married a sister of Oliver Cromwell, and so by the usurpery entrusted to be of his upper house; and we may be sure went home in few years after 1638, when Lewis gives him residing here.

SAMUEL DESBOROUGH, New Haven 1639, probably from London, son of James Desborough of Elltisley in County Cambridge, England. Lord of that manor, probably brother of Isaac Desborough, born 13 or 30 November 1619. He was one of the early settlers of Guilford 1641. At the gathering of the church 19 June 1643, though so young, he was one of the seven pillars. The name of his wife is not found, probably he had more than one. Daughter Sarah, born March 1649, is the only record of his family. In Mather, II. cap. 12, he is called John Desborough in the list of Assistants of the Colony, but that error is less gross than that of the date 1637, which was before any part of the Colony was occupied by Christians. He went home in the autumn of 1650, with his minister Whitfield. His wife died of smallpox late in 1654. He married Rose Penoyer, daughter of Samuel Penoyer, whose brother William Penoyer, a merchant of London, benefactor of Harvard College was trustee in the main settlement. Being brother of John Desborough, the Major General who had married a sister of Cromwell, and was one of his Lords, he got rapid preferment, was a General officer, commissioner of the revenues, and was soon chosen to Parliament in 1651 for Edinburgh, and in 1656 by Oliver's favor was returned to another of his assemblies, nicknamed Parliaments for Mid Lothian, and rose to be Chancellor for the ancient kingdom, with £2,000 annual allowance in which Station he continued some time under Richard. That successor in the royal protector ship, his brother was one of the principal instruments of overthrowing; as he had, indeed, successfully counteracted the desperate ambition of the great captain for the title of king, though he was elevated by his brother-in-law to a seat in the "other house," with the empty name of Lord. See the very copious and curious letters of Maidstone to Governor Winthrop of Connecticut 3 Massachusetts History Collections I. 185. How long he preserved this dignity in the conquered Kingdom is not told. He died 10 December 1690, at family estate of Elsworth, Cambridge shire. See Styles, History of the Judges, 35. Noble, member of the Cromwell family II. 254.

ISAAC DESCHAMPS, Boston. He had Isaac, baptized at Old South church 17 June 1677. He was probably a Huguenot.

JOSEPH DEVELL, JOSEPH DEVEL, JOSEPH DAVOLL, or JOSEPH DEVILL, Portsmouth, Rhode Island or Newport, perhaps son of William Devell of the same, was of Westerly 1669. He married Mary Brayton, daughter of the first Francis Brayton, as I judge, had Mary, who died young. His wife died before 1671. He lived in the Niantic country, then his daughter Mary married 18 March 1689, James Talman. He had second wife Elizabeth who outlived him, and she married Christopher Champlin.

WILLIAM DEVELL, WILLIAM DEVEL, WILLIAM DAVOLL, or WILLIAM DEVILL, Braintree. He had John, born 24 June 1643, died at 3 weeks. He probably removed to Newport, there was in list of freeman 1655.

THOMAS DEVENISH, or THOMAS DAVENISH, Salem 1639, administered with wife Mary of the church 1641, freeman 2 June of that year. He had Mary, baptized 18 July 1641; and Bethia, 30 November 1643; and probably other children.

JOHN DEVEREUX, JOHN DEVORIX or JOHN DEVEROE, Salem, came, perhaps in the fleet with Winthrop 1630, a youth of 16, was on Marblehead side 1648, freeman 1683, and living in 1694. Probably by wife Ann, he had John, and Susanna, who married 10 January 1695, Stephen Parker of Andover. Four of these names had been graduates In 1834 at Harvard and two at Yale. A large family of divines of this name was in Suffolk England 3 Massachusetts History Collections X. 148.

EDWARD DEVOTION, Roxbury, lived at that part of Boston called Muddy River, now Brookline, when he joined the church at Brookline March 1645, then single, freeman 1645. He had baptized Mary, 25 February 1649, four days old; his wife Mary was baptized the same day at Roxbury; Elizabeth, at Brookline 20 April 1651; and at Roxbury Martha, 13 March 1653; Hannah, 3 December 1654; at Brookline again, Deborah, 17 May 1657, died unmarried at 25 years; John, 26 June 1659; and at Roxbury again, Sarah, 19 January 1662; Edward, 12 July 1663; and Thomas, 1 May 1670. He died 28 September 1685, aged 64.

The valuable recent History of Windsor page 578, makes the last two dates of baptism which could not be, for one was Wednesday, and one Thursday. He was Cornet of the troop. He died or was buried 27 April 1648. His widow married 2 or 30 November 1648, George Phelps, who removed about 1668 to Westfield, and with him went the entire Dewey's except Israel.

He had there baptized John, 17 March 1650, died soon; John, again, 29 June 1651; Rachel, 27 June 1658; perhaps Jonathan; and others, besides one 19 April 1663, whose name (perhaps Lydia, who married 15 December 1683, John Bacon) is not given in the record; and Ann, 6 May 1666, who married 17 February 1686, Daniel Wight of the same.

JONATHAN DEWING, sometimes JONATHAN DEWEN, Dedham, perhaps son of the preceding. He married Susanna Bacon, daughter of John Bacon of the same.

BALTHAZAR DEWOLF, Wethersfield 1664, removed to Lyme 1668. There had a daughter of age to live in a neighbor's family; Edward, Simon, and Stephen, which may have been all, as was Simon, his son (or not). He joined with him in 1678, as member of the town train band, in a petition.

EDWARD DEWOLF, Lyme. He had Simon, born 28 November 1671; Charles, 18 September 1673; Benjamin, 3 December 1675; besides Edward, whose date is not on the record.

SIMON DEWOLF, Lyme, son of Balthazar Dewolf. He married 12 November 1682, Sarah Lay, had Simon, born 1683; Sarah, 1685; John, 1687; Josiah, 1689; Phebe, 1692; Daniel, 1693; and Jabez. He died 1696.

FRANCIS DEXTER, a youth of 13, came in the Planter 1635; but where he lived is unknown.

GREGORY DEXTER, Providence, preacher in the Baptist Church 1643, had been a printer and stationer in London, there brought out that curious book, Roger Williams’ Key into the language of America, and his admiration of the author induced him to follow or accompany him. He was town clerk 1654, and President the year before. He died at 90 years it is said, in 1700. His children by wife Abigail were Stephen, born 1 November 1647; James, 6 May, perhaps 1650, but the year is not plain; John, 6 November 1652; and Abigail, 24 September 1655, who married James Angel. But in the later days, a descendant of the sixth generation from Gregory Dexter has enlarged the family with Peleg, 1658. Thomas, I. 418. Knowles, 253, 270.

JAMES DEXTER, Providence, son probably of Gregory Dexter, swore allegiance May 1671. He had, it is said, Peleg, born 1673; and Isabel, 1675.

JOHN DEXTER, Charlestown, or Malden, son probably of Richard Dexter. By wife Sarah, it is said, had Sarah, born 11 June 1674. He died 8 December 1677. This son John had, it is said, eight children of which the second son Samuel Dexter was minister of distinction at Dedham, and illustrated descendants to our day.

JOHN DEXTER, Sandwich, son of the second Thomas Dexter. He married 10 November 1682, Mehitable Hallet, daughter of the first Andrew Hallet, had Elizabeth, born 1 November following; Thomas, 26 August 1686; Abigail, 26 May 1689. He removed to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, there was living 24 June 1717.

JOHN DEXTER, Providence, brother of James Dexter of the same, probably for he took the oath of allegiance at the same time. And to him the family genealogy gives Stephen, born 1689; James, 1691; John, 1692; Mary, 1694; Abigail, 1696; Sarah, 1698; Phebe, 1700; Ann, 1702; and Alice, 1705.

PELEG DEXTER, Providence, perhaps son of Gregory Dexter. He had, it is said, John, Gideon, James, and Barzillai, yet no date for either is found, nor name of mother nor daughter of father, which deficiencies would raise doubts as to authenticity, were not the same want felt as to the others. The misfortune is bitterly aggravated by the failure of all issue to the whole four sons and leaves no slight fear of their right on the chart.

RICHARD DEXTER, Boston, administered a townsman 28 February 1642. He was of Charlestown 1644, on Mystic side, where his estate descended through five generations. By wife Bridget, one of the friends of the meek preacher, Marmaduke Matthews of Malden, he had Sarah, born 1 November 1644, who married Edmund Pinson, as second wife I presume; and other children of whose names I know only Elizabeth who married about 1658, James Mellen; and Alice, wife of Benjamin Mussey, both born perhaps in England. And two other children it is said, of which one was John, born about 1640; and the other named Ann. He was, I think, grandfather of John Dexter, the father of Reverend Samuel Dexter, born at Malden, 23 October 1700, Harvard College 1720, minister of Dedham, ordained 6 May 1724, father of Honorable Samuel Dexter, born 16 March 1726, who was distinguished as patriot before the Revolution and died at Mendon 10 June 1810, leaving bequeath to promote the study of sacred literature at Harvard College.

STEPHEN DEXTER, Providence, son probably of Gregory Dexter, took oath of allegiance June 1668. He had John, born 1670, and no more is told of. Not one of Gregory's children is the time of death given on the beautiful genealogy chart.

STEPHEN DEXTER, Barnstable, son of William Dexter. He married 27 April 1696, Ann Sanders, had Mary, born 24 August 1696; one son born 22 December 1697, died next month; Abigail, 13 May 1699; Content, 5 February 1701; Ann, 9 March 1703; Sarah, 1 June 1705; Stephen, 26 July 1707; Mercy, 5 July 1709; Marian, 8 March 1712; and Cornelius, 21 March 1714.

THOMAS DEXTER, Lynn 1630. He came probably in the fleet with Winthrop freeman 18 May 1631, whose name has been omitted in printed volumes because he was disfranchised 4 March 1633. He was one of the purchasers to promote settling of Sandwich 1637, but did not remove for several years. Was administered freeman of Plymouth Colony 1 June 1658, lived at Barnstable. There had Mary, born 11 August 1649, had probably other children besides Thomas and William, perhaps born in England, certainly the former; and the kindness of tradition gives him doubtfully grandson Richard Dexter, and great grandson William Dexter. He died in Boston early in 1677. Lewis, 159.

THOMAS DEXTER, Sandwich, eldest son of the preceding, born in England. He married Elizabeth whose surname is unknown, who died 19 March 1714, had Elizabeth, born 21 September 1651, who died young; Mary, who married Daniel Allen of Swanzey; John; and perhaps more, besides Elizabeth again, 7 April 1660; and Abigail, 12 June 1663, who married 30 January 1684, Jonathan Hallett. He died 29 December 1686.

WILLIAM DEXTER, Barnstable, son of the first Thomas Dexter. He married July 1653, Sarah Vincent, had Mary, born January 1654; Stephen, May 1657, Philip, September 1659; James, May 1662; Thomas, July 1665; John, August 1668; and Benjamin, February 1670. He died at Rochester 1694. Six of these names had been graduates at Harvard and six at Yale and Brown.

ABRAHAM DIBBLE, ABRAHAM DEEBLE, or ABRAHAM DEBLE, Boston, son of John Dibble. By wife Lydia Teffe, who was perhaps daughter of William Teffe, or William Tift, had John, born 7 July 1648. He removed probably to Haddam, was there May 1673, thence perhaps removed to Suffield. He died 31 December 1690. He had also Abraham, who died 1676, aged 6 years; much elder Benjamin, who swore allegiance to Massachusetts 30 January 1679, but settled at Simsbury; and perhaps other children, certainly some daughters as Abigail, who married 1 February 1683, John Filley of Suffield; and Lydia, who married Thomas Pixley. By future investigation it may possibly be probable that another Abraham Dibble than him of Boston was father of these.

By wife Margery, had Anthony, born 24 March 1666; Nathaniel, 25 December 1667; Margery, 16 August 1669; Jonathan, 28 March 1666; Nathaniel, 25 December 1667; Margery, 16 August 1669; Jonathan, 28 March 1673; Mary; and Benjamin, 22 February 1680. He died 1679 and administration 28 November 1679 was granted to his widow. Felt confused him with Anthony Dick, mentioned in Winthrop History I. 287, of which very little is ever heard.

RICHARD DIKE, RICHARD DYKE, or RICHARD DIKES, Gloucester. He married 7 August 1667, Rebecca Doliver, had Samuel, born 8 November 1670; Sarah, 28 May 1673; Mary, 7 November 1675; Joseph, 29 January 1678; Job, 3 July 1680; Elizabeth, 1683; John, 1686; Hannah, 1688; and James, 1692. He died 6 May 1729. Rebecca married 1706 Josiah Tainer.

GEORGE DILL, Watertown 1671, says Bond. He died there 1716, a pauper. Perhaps it is the same as Dell.

THOMAS DILL, Marblehead. He died June 1668. Administration was given to Richard, of which no more is known.

EDWARD DILLINGHAM, Lynn 1636, from Bitteswell, County Leicester, where he had estate, removed next year to Sandwich; was Representative 1642. He had Henry and John, the younger born in England about 1630. His will of 1 May 1666, probated 1 June 1667, is abstracted in Genealogical Registrar VII. 225.

EDWARD DILLINGHAM, Sandwich, son of Henry Dillingham. He left children Edward, John, and Simeon.

HENRY DILLINGHAM, Sandwich, son of Edward Dillingham first of the same, born in England, bore arms 1643. He had Edward, and John.

JOHN DILLINGHAM, Ipswich, who came in the fleet with Winthrop, was, perhaps, brother of Edward Dillingham, a man of respectable condition, as is probable by the prefix. At his request, 19 October 1630, and also at administration as freeman 18 May following, came from Leicestershire. Was first of Boston, being number 71 of the list of members, and dead is written against it, so that he died soon, leaving wife Sarah, and children Edward and Sarah; but Sarah alone was living when her mother made her will at Ipswich, 10 July 1636. She married John Caldwell, and was probably a relative to Richard Saltonstall and Samuel Appleton, as may be judged from that instrument. See the fine Appleton family Memoirs.

JOHN DILLINGHAM, Sandwich, brother of Henry Dillingham, born in England. He married 24 March 1651, Elizabeth Feake, daughter of Henry Feake, had John, born 1663, perhaps others before or after. He was a Captain, and died 21 May 1715 at Harwich. His widow died 15 December 1720.

JOHN DILLINGHAM, Barnstable, son of the preceding. He married Lydia Chapman, probably daughter of Isaac Chapman, had Lydia; Hannah; Rebecca; Abigail; John, born 1701; Thankful; and Sarah; but the dates, or even order of births are unknown. He died 11 September 1746; and his widow died 9 September 1760.

JOHN DIMAN, JOHN DYMOND, JOHN DIAMOND, JOHN DYAMONT, or JOHN DIMOND, Lynn 1647, perhaps removed to Kittery before 1652, there called rope maker.

JOHN DIMAN, JOHN DYMOND, JOHN DIAMOND, JOHN DYAMONT, or JOHN DIMOND, New London. He married 17 June 1674, Rebecca Bemis, widow of Tobias Minter, daughter of James Bemis.

MOSES DIMAN, MOSES DYMOND, MOSES DIAMOND, MOSES DYAMONT, or MOSES DIMOND, Fairfield 1670, son of Thomas, had large estate. He had wife Abigail, son Moses, and daughters Abigail, Esther, and Grace. His will was dated 21 March 1684, and the inventory is a few weeks later. This name is often written without final d always at Yale. His widow married 1685, Edward Howard.

ROBERT DIMAN, ROBERT DYMOND, ROBERT DIAMOND, ROBERT DYAMONT, or ROBERT DIMOND, Roxbury. His wife Mary died 1643.

THOMAS DIMAN, THOMAS DYMOND, THOMAS DIAMOND, THOMAS DYAMONT, or THOMAS DIMOND, Fairfield, lost a vessel and cargo by fire in 1656. He died 1658. He had Thomas, Moses, before mentioned, and John. It may be, that he is the same person under Deming; but it is not likely.

THOMAS DIMAN, THOMAS DYMOND, THOMAS DIAMOND, THOMAS DYAMONT, or THOMAS DIMOND, Fairfield, probably son of the preceding, a mariner. He married 22 September 1670, Elizabeth Bradley, daughter of Peter Bradley. He removed to New London, had Elizabeth, born 14 August 1672; Thomas, 22 July 1675; Moses, 14 May 1677; Ruth, 12 September 1680; and John, 25 July 1686. He died 1687.

WILLIAM DIMAN, WILLIAM DYMOND, WILLIAM DIAMOND, WILLIAM DYAMONT, or WILLIAM DIMOND, Kittery, perhaps son of John Diman of the same. In 1679 left widow Joan, and children John, Margaret, and Grace.

JOHN DIMMOCK, JOHN DIMUCK, or JOHN DIMICK, Barnstable, son of Shubael Dimmock. By wife Elizabeth, had Sarah, baptized 2 August 1691; Hannah, 31 July 1692; Mary, 19 August 1694; Theophilus, 11 October 1696; Timothy, 11 September 1698; and Ebenezer, 24 March 1700.

SHUBAEL DIMMOCK, SHUBAEL DIMUCK, or SHUBAEL DIMICK, Barnstable, son of Thomas Dimmock. He married April 1663 Joanna Bursley, daughter of John Bursley for second wife. By first wife had Thomas, born April 1664; John, January 1666; Timothy, March 1668; Shubael, February 1673; Joseph, September 1675; Mehitable, 1677; Benjamin, March 1680; Joanna, March 1682; and Thankful, November 1684. He was Representative 1685, 86 and 89, but removed to Mansfield, Connecticut where his wife died 8 May 1727, aged 81; and he died 29 October 1732. But his eldest son Thomas was killed by the East Indians 1697, then a Captain at Damariscotta, as in Magnalia VII. 92, may be read.

THOMAS DIMMOCK, THOMAS DIMUCK, or THOMAS DIMICK, Dorchester 1635, selectman that year, freeman 25 May 1636. He removed to Hingham 1638, next year to Scituate, and in 1640 to Barnstable, of which he was 7 August 1650 ordained Ruling Elder, and Representative 5 years, being the first from the town in December 1640. He had Thomas, before mentioned; perhaps John, and certainly Timothy, baptized 12 January 1640, died in few months; Mehitable, 17 April 1642; Shubael, 16 September 1644; besides a son and daughter twins, buried without names, 18 March 1641. He died 1659, but the widow was living 1683. His nuncupative will gave all to his wife Ann for the reason that, "the children were hers as well as his." Various spellings has this name appearing in; and it may, originally, be the same as that of Dymocke, the heredity champion of England who at coronations, owes the service of challenge to all competitors for the crown.

FATHERGONE DINELY, or FATHERGONE DYNELEY, Boston, butcher, youngest son of William Dinely, got his name from the incident of his father's loss "in a violent tempest of wind and snow," on 15 December 1638, between Boston and Roxbury, ten days before his birth. He married April 1663, Hannah Porter, daughter of Edward Porter, died early. Inventory by the widow was returned 23 January 1675.

JOHN DINELY, or JOHN DYNELEY, Boston 1651, mariner, eldest brother of the preceding, born probably in England.

THOMAS DINELY, or THOMAS DYNELEY, Boston, perhaps brother of the preceding. He died 15 January 1655.

WILLIAM DINELY, or WILLIAM DYNELEY, Boston 1635, barber surgeon, number 340 in the list of church members, freeman 17 April 1637. By wife Alice, had Thomas, born 9, baptized 17 January 1636; Abigail, baptized 8 October 1637 though the town record has birth in December; and Father gone, before mentioned birth 25 of December 1638. In the church record of his baptism on 6 January 1639 is marked "son of our gone brother"; was one of the favorites of his fellow Christian, Mrs. Hutchinson, and therefore disarmed November 1637, and died in a storm 15 December 1637 on Boston neck. Winthrop I. 248, 286. Johnson's observation In his Wonderwork Province are more ludicrous than philosophical. In August 1638 his widow married Richard Crichley.

JACOB DINGLEY, Marshfield, son of John Dingley. By wife Elizabeth, had John, and Joseph. He died 18 August 1691. His widow died 30 March 1718.

JOHN DINGLEY, Lynn, removed to Sandwich 1637, thence to Marshfield, about 1644, and died 1658. By wife Sarah, had Jacob, before mentioned; Mary, who married 19 December 1654, Captain Josiah Standish, and died the next year; Sarah, probably who married 1658, William Ford junior; and Hannah, who married Josiah Kean; besides probably that John Dingley who was buried 9 July 1665. The family spread into Duxbury; and descendants remain in that neighborhood.

RICHARD DINGLEY, a Baptist minister of Newport 1685, had come to Boston from England, removed 1694 to South Carolina. Benedict. Backus, II. 109.

WILLIAM DINNY, freeman 9 March 1637, brother it may be, of the preceding. But I have some reason for thinking this name Dennis.

WILLIAM DINSDALE, Boston, an early proprietor whose house and garden are set out in the book of possessions. By wife Martha, had John, born May 1644; Martha, 10 January 1649; Mary, 24 September 1651; and Sarah, 7 January or 2 June 1657. He was freeman 1657, artillery company 1658; and in 1663 was aged 47. He died at Barbados.

NICHOLAS DISBROW, NICHOLAS DISBOROW, or NICHOLAS DESBROUGH, Hartford 1639, an early settler not original proprietor. He married 1640, Mary Brunson, had Phebe, baptized 20 December 1646; Abigail, born 1 February 1649, and probably more. After 1669, says Porter, he married Elizabeth Strickland, daughter of Thwaite Strickland. He died in 1683, aged 71, and left four daughters: Mary married Obadiah Spencer; one married Samuel Eggleston; Phebe married John Kelsey; and Abigail married Robert Flood. In the year of his death, some ridiculous mischief is, by the Magnalia VI. 69, honorary as a tragedy of witchcraft; but Cotton borrowed the nonsense from his father's Remarkable Providence page 113. By Colony Record of Connecticut I. 45, he seems to have been unfortunate in his early relations.

PETER DISBROW, PETER DISBOROW or PETER DESBROUGH, Rye, in New Haven jurisdiction 1660, of which he was one of the purchasers from the Indians, Representative 1665, perhaps also for Greenwich. In 1681 was called 50 years old. He had married Sarah Knapp, daughter of Nicholas Knapp of Stamford. A John Disbrow of Rye 1683 may have been his son.

THOMAS DISBROW, THOMAS DISBOROW, or THOMAS DESBROUGH, Fairfield 1685, or earlier, perhaps son of the preceding. He had wife Mercy, and son Thomas, who seems to be of age at death of his father early in 1707.

WILLIAM DISER, sometimes WILLIAM DICER, Salem 1668, perhaps ill spelled or very rare name, signed to petition against imposters. He married 20 November 1664, Elizabeth Austin, had Elizabeth, born 2 July 1667; and Honor, 2 April 1673.

HENRY DISPAW, Lynn. He died 4 October 1676. His will of 20 February 1676 named sons Henry and Edward.

HENRY DISPAW, Lynn, probably son of the preceding, had child born June 1680, who died next month. This seems a very strange name, found by Mr. Felt, perhaps once spelled wrong. It is Dispan in Essex Institute II. 273.

JOHN DIVEN, Lynn 1643. He perhaps had John; died 4 October 1684. Lewis. His son

JOHN DIVEN was perhaps of Lynn, freeman 1691, had John, born 16 May 1678; Ezekiel, 25 December 1681, died in few days; perhaps may have died at the date given to the preceding. Mary Diven, perhaps sister of the younger daughter of the elder John Diven. He married 23 March 1663, Jonathan Witt.

ANTHONY DIX, Plymouth, one of the first comers, 1623, in the Ann, took a share in the division of land next year but not in the division of cattle 1627, because he left the Colony and joined with Conant and other Massachusetts people. He was freeman 18 May 1631. He was taken by the pirate Bull in 1632, but allowed easily to escape. In 1637 was of Charlestown or Salem, had wife Tabitha, who after his death married Nathaniel Pitman. He was lost by shipwreck of his 30 ton boat on Cape Cod 15 December 1638, the same storm in New Hampshire. See Winthrop I. 287, who spells the name Dick which Felt prefers to give as Dike, and both Dikes and Deekes are found in some records.

ANTHONY DIX, Salem, son perhaps of the preceding. By wife Margery, had Anthony, born probably 24 March 1666; Nathaniel, 25 December 1667; Margery, 16 August 1669; Jonathan, 28 March 1673; Mary; and Benjamin, 22 February 1680.

EDWARD DIX, Watertown. He came probably in the fleet with Winthrop. He was first of Boston, number 49 among members of the church, and freeman 4 March 1635. By wife Jane Wilkinson, had Abigail, born 2 May 1637; Mary, 2 May 1639; John, 4 September 1640; and Rebecca, 18 February 1642. He had second wife Susanna, who survived him. He was a selectman, and died 9 July 1660. The daughters were all married: Abigail, 1 December 1653, to Thomas Parks of Cambridge; Mary, 5 February 1663, Abraham Brown, junior; and Rebecca, 18 February 1668, Thomas Flagg junior. His will of 25 June 1660 makes son John executor. But the inventory was sworn to deceased, followed by Sergeant John Wincoll, his guardian. Bond gives him another daughter Deborah, without date of birth who married Richard Barnes of Marlborough, he says, and distinguished him from the Boston church members by remarking that he embarked at age of 19, on 16 January 1635, and that Jane Wilkinson, aged 20 embarked at same time. So there must have been two of the name. But the members of Boston church and not the youth of 19 must have been that freeman, and this Deborah must have been a widow for she was mother of Leonard of Wethersfield.

JOHN DIX, Watertown, son of Edward Dix. He married 7 January 1671, Elizabeth Barnard, daughter of John Barnard, had Elizabeth, born 4 December 1671; John, 6 March 1673; Mary, 27 February 1675, died next year; Abigail, 15 March 1677; Rebecca, 1 March 1679, died soon; Deborah, 20 July 1680; Edward, 25 September 1682; Joseph, 8 September 1686; and Jane, baptized 13 October 1689. He died 7 November 1714, leaving widow Elizabeth.

JOHN DIX, Hartford, perhaps brother of Leonard Dix, was required by court to marry Mary Birdwell, but was complaining of beating her, 1676. He was there taxed 1683; and sold his house and land 1686. One of his children John died 1692.

JOHN DIX, Wethersfield, son of Leonard Dix of the same. He had wife Rebecca, and perhaps children not mentioned. He died November 1711, aged 50, and his widow died next month.

LEONARD DIX, Wethersfield, 1645. He had wife Sarah. He died 7 December 1697, leaving John, Samuel, and three daughters. He had been at Branford, had grant of land there 1648. He was born probably 1624. His will which names the daughters Mercy, Hannah, and Elizabeth, provided for the widow who died 1709.

RALPH DIX, Ipswich 1647, fisherman. He had wife Esther, and children John, born 12 March 1659; Samuel, 28 August 1661. He removed next year to Reading, had there Stephen, 18 June 1664; and Stephen, again, 14 December 1672. He was freeman 1684, and died 1688. Of his descendants are Reverend Samuel Dix, Harvard College 1758, and J.A. Dix, late U.S. senator from New York.

SAMUEL DIX, from Norwich, England, had leave to embark at Great Yarmouth 8 April 1637, being aged 43 years with wife Joane, 38; two children Priscilla and Abigail; and two servants William Storey and Daniel Linsey, to come to Boston to inhabit, but I have not yet learned where he sat down.

WILLIAM DIX, Hartford, perhaps brother of Leonard Dix, a single man. He died March 1676 or 77. Six of this name, in 1834, had been graduates at Harvard.

JOHN DIXEY, of Salem. He married 9 December 1679, Sarah Collins. He probably was son of the first Thomas Dixey.

THOMAS DIXEY, Salem 1637. He had there baptized Mary, 12 January 1645; Abigail, 1 October 1648; Thomas, 29 January 1654; Margaret, 16 March 1656; and John, 26 April 1657. He was of Marblehead 1674. He died 1691. Another Thomas Dixey, at Marblehead, signed the petition against imposters 1668, as did the Salem man. Yet perhaps it was the same man, for in such cases it is sometimes thought that more value attaches to the number than to the argument and undue artifice is employed to swell the list. Margaret Dixey, aged 18, was one of the servants of Percival Greene, embarked at London 1635, in the Susan and Ellen.

WILLIAM DIXEY, Salem, had come to Cape Ann 1629, was next at Lynn. He had baptized at Salem, Abigail, 25 December 1636; Ann, 17 May 1638; John, 1639; Elizabeth, 1641; and others. He was freeman 14 May 1634. He was Captain of Beverly about 1677. He died 1690, aged 82. Lewis. Felt. Gibbs. Whitman. 3 Massachusetts History Collections VII. 260. Ann married 11 August 1657, Nehemiah Howard; and Elizabeth married 15 December 1658, Samuel Morgan.

JEREMIAH DIXON, New Haven 1639. He was one of the seven for founders of the church 4 June, removed before 1644.

WILLIAM DIXON, probably was of Charlestown 1633-8, Kittery 1649, freeman 1652. He died March 1666, perhaps then of York. In his will of 13 February 1666, he gave to wife Joan, son James, daughter Susanna Frost, perhaps wife of Charles, to John Brown, and to children of Henry Milbury. Seven of this name, besides four called Dickson, had, in 1834, been graduates at the New England Colleges though none of either at Harvard. See Dickson.

JAMES DIXWELL, New Haven, a proprietor 1685, unless the record be wrong, as by confused with the assumed surname, I suspect.

JOHN DIXWELL, Dorchester 1640, gave his share with others, in Thompson's Island 7 February 1642, for support of a free school. My insertion of this name should be accompanied with explanation. That no other notice of such a one, near that time, is found. What thus I read in the lithograph copy published by the Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society, as frontispiece to that Editor of Blake's Ann. 1846, the number on the list being 47, is by a writer of considerable research, in Genealogical Registrar V. 391, called John Pearce. Yet it may be necessary, for whoever will form an opinion on either side, to ask which of the two, number 30, or number 47, is likely to be the facsimile of signature of John Pierce, who had been selectman and Representative of the town, and soon after the date of the benefactor removed to Boston.

JOHN DIXWELL, New Haven, came in 1664, it is said, after long concealment in Europe or elsewhere, flying from prosecution as one of the regicides. It is supposed his first quiet residence was at Hadley, with Goffe and Whalley, under shelter of Reverend John Russell, though the length of time is unknown. At New Haven he was called by himself and others, James Davids. He married 3 November 1673, I think for second wife, Joanna Ling, daughter of Benjamin Ling, with whom (who died in few weeks) he obtained comfortable property. He married again 23 October 1677, Bethia How or Bathsheba How, daughter of Jeremy How, had Mary, born 9 June 1679; John, 6 March 1681; and Elizabeth, 14 July 1682, who died young. His widow died at Middletown 27 December 1729, aged 83, so that she was 39 years younger than her husband. His concealment was perfect, but his real name was known to one or more of the chief people and confessed by himself shortly before his death 18 March 1690 in his 82nd year. His only daughter Mary married 23 December 1707, John Collins of Middletown. The family was and still is highly respected in Kent; and in the great civil war, the head of it, Sir Basil, stood and suffered for the royal cause.

JOHN DIXWELL, Boston, son of the preceding, took his father's true name, was in good esteem at New Haven. He married 1 September 1708, Mary Prout, daughter of John Prout. He removed to Boston, was a goldsmith, a Ruling Elder of the New North church. He died 2 April 1725 of smallpox by inoculation leaving his 2nd wife Abigail, and children Basil, born 7 July 1711, so called for his great uncle, Sir Basil Dixwell, a Baron; John, 1718, and Elizabeth, 1716, who were all by first wife. Their uncle Prout was guardian of all the children. The father left small estate, but no will. His son John, who was of artillery company 1741, died 1749, without male issue. By wife Abigail Bridgham of Boston married 18 April 1723, female line perpetuated. The stock, and John Hunt, Harvard College 1796, a descendant was permitted to assume the surname of the regicide.

DANIEL DOANE, Eastham 1658, perhaps son of John Doane. He married Hepzibah Cole, had Constant, born 7 March 1670.

EPHRAIM DOANE, Eastham, may have been brother of the preceding. He married 5 February 1668, Mercy Knowles, probably daughter of Richard Knowles, had Patience, born 28 January 1669, died soon; Apphia, 18 (colony record says 28), July 1670; Hezekiah, August 1672; Thomas, 4 September 1674; Ebenezer, April 1676; Nehemiah, August 1680, died soon; Patience, again, April 1682; and Ruhama, 30 April 1685.

JOHN DOANE, Plymouth 1630, an Assistant 1633, but not after, as he declined the civic office on being chosen Deacon. He removed 1644 to Eastham, there was Deacon. He died 21 February 1686. His age was great, perhaps 95. One report of his death makes it in 1707, and age 110, but it is not supported by any authority; and probably the father and son possibly grandson of the same name were confused by the report of the childish exaggeration. His wife Abigail had, besides Daniel, before mentioned John; Ephraim; Lydia, who married 1645, Samuel Hicks; Abigail, born 13 January 1632, at the age of 60, became second wife of Samuel Lothrop, outlived him many years and died 23 January 1735. About 3 years before a century sermon (I presume on her entry upon the hundredth year), had been preached in her room by Reverend Joseph Lord. See Boston Weekly Journal of 1735.

JOHN DOANE, Eastham, son of the preceding. He married 30 April 1662, Hannah Bangs, daughter of Edward Bangs, had John, born 20 March 1663, died in few weeks; John, again, 29 May 1664; Ann, 25 July 1666; Rebecca, 12 May 1668; Isaac, 2 June 1670; and Samuel, 2 March 1673. He probably died 1707. Another John came in the Truelove from London, 1635, aged 16.

DANIEL DODD, sometimes DANIEL DOD, Branford 1644. By wife Mary married about 1646, had Mary; Hannah; Daniel; all baptized at New Haven 1 June 1651; Ebenezer, born 11 December 1651; a daughter 29 March 1653, died soon; Stephen, 16 February 1656; and Samuel, 2 May 1657. His wife died 26 May 1657, and he died January 1666. Mary married about 1660, Aaron Blatchley. All the sons but Stephen, removed to Newark, New Jersey. The Edward Dodd who married 1705, at Hartford, was of a different family. Hinman, 209, has him, but I doubt, that my plan must exclude him.

GEORGE DODD, sometimes GEORGE DOD, Boston 1645, a mariner. By wife Mary, had Patience, born 11 April 1646, baptized 16 May 1647 (as the wife joined the church the day preceding), who died at 3 months; Isaac, 3 September 1651; Mary, 5 July 1653; and Elizabeth, 5 April 1657; besides Mehitable, 25 May 1660. He died in London. See Genealogical Registrar XII. 154, 5.

STEPHEN DODD, sometimes STEPHEN DOD, Guilford, son of Daniel Dodd. He married 18 May 1678, Mary Stevens, or Sarah Stevens, daughter of William Stevens, who died before him, had Daniel, born 1679; and Samuel, 1681. He died 26 October 1691.

WILLIAM DODD, sometimes WILLIAM DOD, Salem 1644. Reverend Stephen Dodd, author of the valuable East Haven Register is descendant of Daniel Dodd.

EDWARD DODGE, Beverly, youngest son of Richard Dodge of the same. He married 30 April 1673, Mary Haskell, daughter of William Haskell the first of Gloucester, had Mary, born 12 April 1675; Elinor; Jonathan, 3 July 1679; Edith, 3 January 1681; Ruth, 15 August 1685; Edward, 1687; Hannah, 1692; and Mark 1694. He was freeman 1683.

JOHN DODGE, Beverly, son of William Dodge. He married 10 April 1659, Sarah Procter, daughter of John Procter, who died 8 February 1716, had, at Salem, before division of the town, John, born 2 January 1662. He removed and was Representative perhaps for Rowley 1664, yet administered freeman only on 29 April 1668. Other children were William; Sarah, baptized 16 February 1668; Hannah, 16 May 1669, died soon; Hannah, again, 2 July 1671; and Martha, born 5 February baptized 26 October 1673.

JOHN DODGE, Beverly, son of Richard Dodge. By wife Sarah, had Deliverance, born 10 or 15 March 1661; John, 15 April 1662, both baptized 5 April 1663; Josiah, 4 January 1665; Sarah, 13 January 1667; Ebenezer, 1 August 1670; Mary, 15 August 1672; Deborah, 1674, died next year; and Andrew, 1676. He was freeman 1683. His wife died 8 February 1706; and he died 11 October 1711.

JOSEPH DODGE, Beverly, son of Richard Dodge. He married 21 February 1672, Sarah Eaton, had Abigail, born 1672, died young; Joseph; Prudence, 28 March 1680; Abigail, 12 September 1681; Josiah, 29 August 1683, died soon; Josiah, again, 8 June 1684; Sarah, 11 August 1685; Elisha, 1687; Charity, 7 March 1689; and Nathaniel, 17 April 1694. His wife died 12 December 1714; and he died 10 August 1716. He was freeman 1680.

JOSIAH DODGE, a soldier of Lothrop's company called the flower of Essex. He was killed at Bloody Brook 18 September 1675.

RICHARD DODGE, Salem 1638, perhaps brother of William Dodge, administered of the church May 1644 He had by wife Edith, probably several children earlier, and certainly John and Mary, both born in England of unknown dates, but baptized 3 July of that year; Richard, born 1643; and Sarah, 1644. Yet not found in freeman's list, was, in 1667, one of the founders of Beverly church.

He had Jonathan, Anthony, Deborah, Mary, Sarah, Hannah, and Gershom, born between 1695 and 1704, and all living at his death. The name is not preserved in Scituate. Deane, 263. Some incongruity, perhaps, in the statement of Deane as to birth of the children and that date of death of his wife may be reconciled by assuming that most of the children were by another wife.

Felt, II. 478.

The children were John, born at Windsor 5 November 1644; James; Mary; Benjamin; Sarah, who married 27 November 1673, Joseph Stebbins; and Esther.

JOHN DORSET, Boston. 1676, in which year his wife died, had son John and daughter Comfort.

BARNABY DORYFALL, or BARNABY DORIFIELD, Boston, came in the Mary and Jane 1633, I presume, with Coddington, for he was administered of the church nearly the same time with the new wife who Coddington brought in that ship, and there came in 1634 by the Elizabeth from Ipswich. Ann Doryfall aged 24, perhaps sister of Barnabas Doryfall, called when administered 2 November following "our brother William Coddington's maid servant". He lived at Braintree, then part of Boston, and Coddington had large farm there. He was freeman 25 May 1636.

EDWARD DOTEY, EDWARD DOTY, EDWARD DOTE, or EDWARD DOTEN, Plymouth. He came in the Mayflower 1620, a London youth in the service of Stephen Hopkins. He was the one of the signers of the solemn compact in Cape Cod harbor 11 November 1620 and was with his master in the shallop that in December following discovered Plymouth harbor; yet 18 June following was party in the first duel fought in New England. He retrieved his character by change from youthful folly. He married probably as second wife (if the date were, as one of my correspondents gives it, about 1643, though less probably is given by another), 6 January 1635, Faith Clark, daughter of Tristram Clark, had William; Faith; Edward; John; Isaac, born 8 February 1648; Desire; Thomas; and Joseph, 30 April 1651.

FRANCIS DOUGHTY, Taunton 1639, removed 1641 to Long Island where he was hardly as well treated as the minister of the gospel should have been. Adrian Van der Donck, an official under Van Rensselaer a patentee, who married his daughter printed a statement of his case. Baylies, I. 289. Lechford has notice of him in very few words.

JAMES DOUGHTY, Scituate. He married 15 August 1649, Lydia Turner, daughter of Humphrey Turner, had, between 1650 and 1670, Mary, James, Elizabeth, Martha, Lydia, Sarah, Samuel, Robert, and Susanna. He was a soldier in Philip's war. Deane, 264, thinks the family went to Connecticut.

THOMAS DOUGHTY, Dover 1657-67. Perhaps he removed over to Berwick, and Doughty's Falls may have the name from him.

HENRY DOUGLASS, Boston, freeman 1657. His daughter Ann married 1 September 1660, Eliphalet Het.

JOHN DOUGLASS, Dover. He married 16 September 1687, neither a widow Nason whose husband is not of my acquaintance nor her baptized name, as printed in Genealogical Registrar VII. 119.

ROBERT DOUGLASS, New London, son of William Douglass. He married 1665, Mary Hempstead, daughter of Robert Hempstead, had William, born 1666; Mary, 1668; Ann, 1669; John, 1671; Hannah, 1673; Sarah, 1674; Elizabeth, 1677; Thomas, 1679; and Phebe, 1681. His wife died 1711; and he died 1716.

WILLIAM DOUGLASS, perhaps of Gloucester first, but of Boston 1640, cooper, freeman 1646. By wife Ann, had Ann; Robert, born 1639; Elizabeth, 26 August 1641; Sarah, 8 April 1643; and William, 1 April 1645, the last three baptized 8 March 1646.

But the birth of Doreas is made 11 days later than the baptism. Many such gross errors fall under our notice in records of Boston and other towns as well as Salem; and when the church or the town records is to be preferred, must commonly be decided in favor of the church for obvious reasons. Yet at New Haven the opposite conclusion is the right one, for the town record is unusually correct, and that of the church very inexact. Two fifths of those in the Genealogical Registrar IX. 357-63, are wrong. This name of Dove, in the History Collections of Essex Institute II. 43, is made Dour, through misread of the old chirography for the last letter, as I presume; but Mr. Patch very rarely fails. Hannah married 20 March 1671, Richard Harris.

He was Representative 1655 and 56. He died 21 April 1659. In his will he mentioned wife Margaret Nudd, perhaps the daughter of Nudd, and children Henry, born in England 1634; Mary, at Watertown 14 September 1643; Hannah; Thomas; and Jeremiah, besides Joseph, 20 March 1639; and Daniel, 2 September 1641.

JOHN DOW, Haverhill. He married 23 May 1696, Sarah Brown, daughter of Abraham Brown of Salisbury.

He removed to Haverhill, and died 31 May 1654. In his will made only two days before his death (29 May 1654), the widow Phebe and the five children (but John and Thomas first), are mentioned. So that, possibly they were older than the others.

THOMAS DOW, Ipswich 1675, perhaps son of the preceding. He had wife Sarah Wall, daughter probably of James Wall of Hampton, married 1663, who died 7 February 1682.

DEERMAN DOWNAM, Braintree. By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 15 January 1646; and John, 15 February 1648. The prename seems very strange; but such is the office copy of the records at Boston.

JOHN DOWNAM, Braintree, perhaps brother of the preceding. By wife Dorothy, had John, or, I think, Thomas, born 30 September 1644, died 9 October following; Joseph, if anybody will believe the official copy of records in Boston, 30 April 1645; John, again, 7 March 1653; Mercy, 7 March 1655; Dorothy, who died 18 March 1659, only a few weeks old; and again Dorothy.

BENJAMIN DOWNING, Hatfield 1679, took the oath of allegiance that year. He married 1679 Sarah Hunter, daughter perhaps eldest, of William Hunter. He may have been, but probably not, son of Emanuel Downing.

DENNIS DOWNING, Kittery 1650, in November 1652 swore allegiance to Massachusetts. He was killed by the Indians 4 July 1697, unless the sufferer were sons of the first.

EMANUEL DOWNING, Salem, from London, where he was a lawyer of the Inner Temple, inhabitant of the parish of St. Michael, Cornhill Ward, was, probably son of Reverend Emanuel Downing. He was a clergyman in Ireland, whose letter to Archbishop Usher may be found in Parr's Life of that prelate. He came in 1638 with his wife Lucy Winthrop, daughter of Adam Winthrop, Esq. of Groton, in County Suffolk, where she was baptized 27 January 1601, sister of our first Governor of Massachusetts married 10 April 1622. They were administered of the church 4 November 1638. He was sworn a freeman March 1639, Representative the same year 1640, 41, 44 and 48; was proposed for an Assistant in 1641, but not chosen. His children were George, born probably in 1623, or 24, and was, perhaps, kept in school at home until his father came; Mary, who came May 1633 with Governor Coddington in the Mary and Jane. In November of that year was administered of the church in Boston. James Downing, who was brought by his uncle, the Governor in the Arbella 1630. Susan, who came at the same time with Mary; Ann; Lucy; and these following born on our side of the ocean, John, baptized 1 March 1640; and Dorcas, 7 February 1641. He went home early in 1642, back next year and went again, in 1644, on business, but came back next year. The date of his death is not found, nor that of his wife though we see proof of his requirement to the General court September 1653 for his 600 acres to be laid out, and of her living 4 August 1656, when she gave to Captain Joseph Gardner dowry on his mother with her daughter and the same shows that her husband Emanuel was dead. The son James, I think, lived at Ipswich; Mary married Anthony Stoddard of Boston; Ann was wife of the intrepid Captain Gardner, killed at the great Narraganset swamp fight in Philip's war, and after married Governor Bradstreet. There was a John Downing who died at Boston 29 April 1694, but he was a merchant from Nevis, where was his family and estate

GEORGE DOWNING, Salem, son of the preceding, born in London, was partly prepared for College by Reverend John Fiske, and graduated in the first class Harvard College 1642. He went to England by way of Newfoundland, St. Kitts, Barbados, and Nevis, and in each Island was desired to preach, but perhaps saw prospect of greater usefulness in his native land, where he became, as his uncle Winthrop tells, 1645, a chaplain in the regiment of Okey, who after was made one of the judges to sign the warrant for execution of Charles 1. He got forward fast (possibly faster, as Okey sunk), in favor with Cromwell, who made him his resident at the Hague. In 1654 united with "the blood of all the Howards" by marriage with Frances, descended through the second son from that fourth Duke of Norfolk, who was by Queen Elizabeth beheaded for tenderness to Mary, Queen of Scots. The Honorable Charles Howard, brother of Frances, was the first, of only three by Oliver created peers of England under the title of Viscount Morpeth. The infirmity of this honor was, soon after the restoration strengthened by his creation 20 April 1661, as first Earl of Carlisle, which title is now enjoyed by his lineal heirs. Previous to this dignity conferred on the Howard stock, and even before his restoration. The kin, had made Downing a knight for his good conduct in Holland; and, 1 July 1663, he was made baronet, by the style of Sir George Downing of Gamlingay, in County Cambridge, where his estate was called the largest in that county. His wife died 10 July 1683, and he died 1684. His son Charles was one of the tellers in the Exchange by indenture at London 13 September 1700, sold the estate at Salem, that was his grandfather's and to him from Emanuel had come through George, as in our Register of Essex County Vol. XVII. appears. His eldest son Sir George Downing married Catharine, eldest daughter of James, Earl of Salisbury, of the illustrated house of Cecil, and there son Sir George, Downing after sitting in two Parliaments of Queen Anne, and the first of George II died without issue, and left the splendid residence devise to the University of Cambridge who laid the foundation of Downing College. In possession of Dawson Turner, Esq. Father, son at Great Yarmouth, is a collection of Downing papers, in which some curious matter may probably exist. I had slight inspection of them in 1842, but looked only at the earliest, when the New England youth was scout-master-general in Scotland. A dispatch from Downing, of 3 September 1651, that day of Worcester route, who Cromwell, with proper forecast, called his crowning mercy, may be read in Cary's Memorials of the civil war, Vol. II. It is far more perspicuous and soldier-like than that of the Commander-in-Chief. But the skill or valor of such a field was no longer in request, and it was to his fidelity probity, and diligence in other affairs that Oliver directed John Milton to certify. Winthrop II. 241. Hutchinson I. 111.

JOHN DOWNING, Charlestown. He married Joanna who bore him Mary, 6 August 1659. He died 13 November 1659. She was given administration of his estate 2 April 1663, and she married 29 October 1663 Richard Holly.

He married soon after, Mary Meakins, daughter of Thomas Meakins junior (who had been killed by the Indians the year before), had Jonathan, born 1677; and John, 1678. He perhaps removed from Hatfield.

RICHARD DOWNING of Ipswich. He died 3 November 1702, but I know nothing more of him, except that in 1664 (three years before he was married), he was 27 years old, yet from seeing him among proprietors of Salem or Marblehead 1674, had wife Mary. I venture to guess that he was a grandson of Emanuel Downing.

THEOPHILUS DOWNING, Salem 1642, had grant of land 29 November of that year. He had son Theophilus, baptized 13 March 1642; Ann, or Hannah, 8 September 1644; and Benjamin, 17 January 1647. In the first two instances the children are noted as of our sister Downing and in the last as of Ellen Downing. He is called the fisherman, and nothing, more is ascertained. He was of Marblehead part of the town, perhaps brother of Richard Downing or of Malcolm Downing, and may have had other children. His wife may have come from some other town.

WILLIAM DOWNTON, Salem, freeman 1668. By wife Rebecca, had William, born 12 April 1665; John, 17 June 1669. He was gaol-keeper 1686. Perhaps his daughter Mary married 15 November 1676, Thomas Flint.

He was grandfather of Thomas Dowse, the munificent benefactor of the Massachusetts History Society, the most attractive part of whose library was his donation.

FRANCIS DOWSE, Boston, in the employment of George Burden 1640, freeman 2 June 1641. By wife Catharine, had Elizabeth, baptized 17 July, about 2 days old, says church record but that of the careless town officer reads born 20 August 1642; Mary, baptized 21 April 1644; Hannah, 7, baptized 11 January 1646; Deborah, 1 January 1652; Naomi, 26 October 1653; Lydia, 10 March 1655; and Sarah, 2 June 1657; besides Mary, again, 30 January 1659. He removed to Charlestown, and I know not the time of his death but have noted that his wife outlived him, and she died 14 March 1698. Elizabeth, his daughter married 16 October 1659, Samuel Miles.

JOB DRAKE, Westfield, son of second John Drake. He married 20 March 1672, Elizabeth Alvord, had Jonathan, born 4 January 1673; and Elizabeth, 4 November 1675; perhaps more, certainly Sarah. Yet the two Jobs, cousins, and the two wives Elizabeth might well puzzle the record and so children of one be given to another.

JOHN DRAKE, Dorchester, or Boston, came in the fleet with Winthrop probably, as we find his requirement 19 October 1630 to be made freeman, yet his administration is not found. He removed from our Colony perhaps as a purchaser of Taunton 1639 [Baylies, I. 286], and not long after to Windsor. There, by a cartwheel running over him, was killed 17 August 1659, leaving sons Jacob and Job, before mentioned, and John, besides one, if not more, daughters. His widow died 7 October 1681, but we may hesitate at the old church record story of her hundredth year yet agree to the main truth of her being called "old widow Drake"

His daughter Jane married 15 December 1673, William Wallace.

ROBERT DRAKE, Exeter, without any exact date, came from Devonshire where he was born 1580. He removed to Hampton, in 1654 was selectman. He died 14 January 1668. His will of 5 May 1663, probated 11 April 1668, names only sons Nathaniel and Abraham, before mentioned, who probably he had brought from England men of full age, and daughter Susanna with her maiden name, the two daughters of Nathaniel by names, and Susanna, Mary, Elizabeth and Hannah, the children of Abraham.

ROBERT DRAKE, Hampton, son of Abraham Drake. He married 19 October 1716, Sarah Knowles, both of sober years, had Robert, baptized 2 August 1719; and Hannah, 28 April 1723. He died 6 February 1743. His wife died 8 June 1742, aged 64.

SAMUEL DRAKE, Fairfield, son of the preceding, had from his father 1677 the estate of father’s wife Ruth, but no children. He made his will 12 December 1691, and his inventory is retired two months after.

I think he married 9 March 1681, Mellicent Ford, widow of John Carver, daughter of William Ford. Perhaps he was of Dorchester 1640.

WILLIAM DRAKE, Weymouth, son of Thomas Drake. By wife Sarah, had Sarah, born May 1687; Abigail, 4 April 1689; James, 7 May 1691; and William, 20 July 1695. A widow Joan Drake was administered of the church of Boston 3 August 1634, the same day with Governor Bellingham and his wife, but of her I know no more.

ROBERT DRAKELEY, Woodbury, son of Thomas Drakeley, the first of the same. He married 4 July 1751, says Cothren, Mary Warner, whose father is not mentioned. He died 1 July 1784.

THOMAS DRAKELEY, Woodbury 1682, had come from Stratford. He married says Cothren, Lydia Brooks of New Haven, whose father is not named, had Ann, born May 1697; Thomas, May 1704; Robert, July 1709; Mary, July 1709; and William, July 1714, who died unmarried 11 July 1769. He died 5 April 1734, aged 77. He was, perhaps born in England, for the surname is not early heard of in our country. His widow died 4 December 1762.

THOMAS DRAKELEY, Woodbury, eldest son of the preceding. He married Eunice Hickok, daughter probably of Joseph Hickok, had, as Cothren tells, Lydia, born 12 January 1730; Mercy, 20 May 1733; Comfort, 5 April 1737; Eunice, 17 July 1739; Samuel, 18 May 1745; and Beatrice, if such be the decent name, given probably from the record Betteras, by Cothren, 18 November 1749. He lived to 1789.

JAMES DRAPER, Dedham 1683, may be the same who was a proprietor of Lancaster 1654, and who was of Roxbury, freeman 1690. He died 13 July 1697, aged about 73, says the inscription on gravestone, which in Genealogical Registrar VII. 331 has erroneous date.

JAMES DRAPER, Roxbury, perhaps son of the preceding. He had Patience, born 17 August 1668; Jonathan, 10 March 1670. His wife probably died, or another James Draper married 18 February 1681, Abigail Whiting, had Abigail, born 29 December 1681; perhaps Nathaniel, 2 April 1684; Eunice, 5 January 1689; and Ebenezer, 27 April 1698. He died in 44th year 30 April 1698. His widow died 25 October 1721. Patience married 13 March 1689, or 1690, Ebenezer Cass.

MOSES DRAPER, Roxbury, perhaps brother of the preceding. He married 7 July 1685, Hannah Chandler, daughter of John Chandler, who died 9 June 1692, had Hannah, born 8 April 1686; Elizabeth, 1687, died 5 November; and Elizabeth again, 17 November 1688, died the same day. He soon had second wife Mary Thacher, daughter of Judah Thacher. He removed to Boston, and had Moses, baptized 17 September 1693 at Second Church.

ROGER DRAPER, Concord, freeman 14 March 1639. He had Adam and Lydia; the latter born 11 November 1641. She married John Law. In the custom house record sent from Ipswich to London of passengers in the Francis, thence to Boston 1634, appears as one with the strange name, Clear Drap, aged 30, of which we may safely judge the surname abbreviated for Draper, but the name of baptized is beyond conjecture. Of this name six had been, in 1834, graduates at Harvard and four at the other New England Colleges.

JOHN DRESSER, Rowley 1643. By wife Mary, had Mary, born 24 April 1643, who died at 17 years; Samuel, 10 February 1644; Jonathan, 8 January 1647, died young; besides Elizabeth, December 1656; and Mary, again, 24 July 1667. He was a Lieutenant, and died 1672. Elizabeth married 11 June 1680, John Hopkinson; and Mary married 4 December 1696, Daniel Foster.

JOHN DRESSER, Rowley, possibly son of the preceding, and born in England, called junior. He married 21 November 1662, Martha Thorla, perhaps daughter of Richard Thorla, had John, born 4 December 1663; Martha, 1 August 1671; Jonathan, January 1674; Sarah, 27 April 1678; Richard, 29 June 1679; Nathaniel, 27 August 1681; Lydia, 17 July 1684, died young; and Elizabeth, 14 February 1686 or 87. He was freeman 1684, Representative 1691 and some years after.

SAMUEL DRESSER, Rowley, son of first John Dresser. He married 9 December 1668, Mary Leaver, daughter probably of Thomas Leaver, had Samuel, born 23 August 1673; John, 1 April 1676; Thomas, 21 May 1679, died young; Joseph, 17 March 1682; Thomas, again, 4 April 1685; Jeremiah, 30 June 1687; Benjamin, 23 September 1689; and Henry, 24 April 1692. He died 8 December 1704.

FRANCIS DREW, Dover, son of William Drew. He was killed by the Indians with a son of 9 years 1694, when his garrison house was destroyed.

JOHN DREW, Plymouth. By wife Hannah, had Elizabeth, born 5 February 1674; John, 1676; Samuel, 1678; Thomas, 1681; Nicholas, 1684; and Lemuel, 1687.

ROBERT DREW, Boston. He married with prefix of respect. He married 6 November 1656, by Governor Endicott, to Jemima Clark, daughter of John Clark, had Elizabeth, born 22 July 1660.

ROSEMUND DREW, Roxbury, if my copy from the record be trustworthy. He married 18 February 1678, Mary Druce, daughter of Vincent Druce, had Rosemond, a son, baptized at Roxbury, 12 January 1679, though in his History of Newton, Jackson, 268, perverts the name from the gravestone to Erasanan. He enlarges our knowledge of three other children: Jonathan died 1700, aged 19; Ebenezer died 1715, aged 25; and Abigail 1717, and aged 27. He says the eldest daughter died 1700, and their mother died 1719, in her 70^th year.

THOMAS DREW, Dover, perhaps son or brother of William Drew, in that part on Oyster river now Durham. He had a garrison house in 1694, where he was killed by the Indians after surrender, and a son of 9 years was killed in a frightful way. Possibly this may have been the tragedy of Francis. Tradition raises many doubts. Thomas Drew, probably another son with a young wife were taken at same time and carried to Canada. Belknap I. 138. 141.

WILLIAM DREW, Dover 1648. He died about 1669, leaving wife Elizabeth, who married 20 July 1671, William Follet. He had Francis, born 1648; John, 1651; perhaps James, and William. Early in the eighteenth century they were at Newton, Jonathan, Ebenezer, and one or more others of this name, all young, but I have not learned their derivation.

EDWARD DRINKER, Charlestown, son of Philip Drinker, born in England, came with his father, was a potter, constable 1652. He removed to Boston, and was one of the founders of the First Baptist Church in Boston 1663. Yet a Lieutenant in Philip's war, of Captain Turner's company, though in his History of the Baptists, Backus shows that the bigotry of the day refused him, as unworthy of such command in the first year of the war. He preached in 1678 to the humble congregation in Boston, and died 1700. His wife Hannah died 14 May 1693. He married 6 March 1694 Mary Emmons. In his will, made 1696, names no children but mentioned wife Mary, brother John, and niece Mary, wife of Benjamin Emmons; to the two former leaving estates for life, and remainder to niece.

JOHN DRINKER, Charlestown, brother of the preceding, born in England. Came with his father. By wife Elizabeth, had John, born 31 March 1653; Elizabeth, 28 August 1654; Mary, 16 October 1655; Sarah, 4 February 1657; Philip, 28 May 1659; and children not named 24 September 1662. Possibly he removed in later days, but so late as 1696 was mentioned in his brother’s will. Perhaps he was grandfather of that John Drinker, sometimes called Edward Drinker, born in a log cabin on what is now Walnut Street corner of Second, Philadelphia, 24 December 1680, some months before Penn's charter. He died 17, or as the church record says 18 November 1782, of course, allowing for change of style, 101 years 10 months and 14 or 15 days old, whose age is by Dr. Rush and others fondly stretched to 103. He had eighteen children by first wife and none by three other wives. He sometimes sat at his table with 14 children says tradition, and not long before his death heard of one of his grandchildren having a grandchild. See Watson's Annals of Philadelphia.

PHILIP DRINKER, Charlestown 1635. He came in the Abigail that year aged 39, with wife Elizabeth, 32; Edward, 13; and John, 8; freeman 17 May 1637, kept the first ferry over Mistick 1640. He died 23 June 1647. In his will, two days before (21 June 1647), makes mention of no other relatives than wife and those two sons.

FLORENCE DRISCOLL, Windsor, or Wethersfield. He died 1678, probably unmarried.

JOHN DRIVER, Lynn, son perhaps of first Robert Driver. By wife Elizabeth, who died 26 May 1674, had John, born 23, died 31 of the same month. By second wife he had John, again, born 16 May 1678; and Eleazer, August 1680, died same month.

RICHARD DRIVER, Lynn, perhaps brother of the preceding. He married 6 January 1664, Sarah Salmon.

ROBERT DRIVER, Lynn, 1630, freeman 6 May 1635. He died says Lewis, 3 April 1680, aged 87. His wife died February 1683. His son

ROBERT DRIVER, who came in Abigail 1635, aged 8, lived at Lynn. He had Sarah, who died 5 February 1667; Ruth, born 4 October 1667; Salmon, August 1670; and John, 2 December 1673. He was hanged for murder 18 March 1675, as related by Mather, VI. 39. Lewis.

WILLIAM DRIVER, Salem 1687. He died 1691, leaving wife Mary. Felt. He had John, born 3 July 1685; Thomas, 24 March 1687; Elizabeth, 28 April 1689; and Michael, 13 July 1691.

LEONARD DROWNE, Kittery, shipwright. He married Elizabeth Abbot, perhaps daughter of Richard Abbot of Portsmouth, had Solomon, born 23 January 1682; Samuel, Simeon, Shem, Susanna, who married as is said, John Johnson of Boston, and Mary, who married as is said, 24 April 1712, James Kettle of Charlestown. Little is to be gleaned exactly on privileged life of most in that country in that age, when liable to be driven from his home, as was Drowne for years after being one of the founders of the First Baptist Church in Maine 1682. He had practiced his trade at Boston a dozen years. His wife died 1704; and by second wife had no children. He died 31 October 1729, aged 83. See Greenleaf, 241.

SHEM DROWNE, Boston, son of Leonard Drowne of the same, had, it is erroneously said. He married a daughter of Richard Russell, named Catharine Russell, as is further said, and through her derived title to the grant of Eastern lands made to Aldworth and Elbridge from Sir father Gorges before Boston was settled. See Drake, 615, which got his information through poor source, in this matter. His wife was daughter of Timothy Clark, in his will well provided for. He died 13 January 1774. He had daughter Sarah, who married Reverend Jeremiah Condy of Boston. Reverend Samuel Drowne, born at Bristol, Rhode Island, was minister of 3rd Congregational church, Portsmouth, New Hampshire; his brother Solomon Drowne was, 1773, an Assistant of Rhode Island; and one Nathaniel Drowne, a physician, who died at Boston 9 February 1771, in his 26th year, had been graduate of Harvard College 1764.

SOLOMON DROWNE, Bristol, brother of the preceding. He married 8 November 1705, and had eleven children: Solomon, born 4 October 1706; Esther, 26 October 1708; Elizabeth, 8 September 1710; Joseph, 8 February 1712; Bathsheba, 10 June 1715; Benjamin, 9 June 1717; Mary, 7 June 1719; Samuel, 31 July 1721; Sarah, 23 July 1723; Jonathan, 29 July 1725; and Shem, 13 June 1728. He died 9 October 1730, and his widow (whose name of baptism or family we see not) died 26 July 1744.

JOHN DRUCE, or JOHN DRUSE, Cambridge village now Newton, son of Vincent Druce. He had by wife Mary, baptized at Roxbury, 13 September 1674, John (born 25 February 1669), and Mary, and Hannah, a fortnight later. He was mortally wounded 1 July 1675 in Captain Prentice's troop on the morning march from Rehoboth to Swanzey, brought home, and died next day, 2 July 1675. Apostle Eliot in church record writes, "he acquitted himself valiantly." His nuncupative will, probated by oath of Joseph Dudley, 16 August 1675, is in our Volume VI.

RICHARD DRUCE, or RICHARD DRUSE, Boston. By wife Jane, had William, born 1 May 1660.

VINCENT DRUCE, or VINCENT DRUSE, Hingham 1637, freeman 1645, as Mr. Paige conjectures when the name is written Vincent Ruth, as perhaps his utterance was indistinct, and the clerk who enrolled judgment by sound. I concur in this astute conjecture for two reasons; (besides the strangeness of such a surname) Vincent is exceedingly rare as baptized name;-- and the next above and below him in the Record list, was a Hingham man. He removed before 1652 to Cambridge, lived on south side of the river now Newton, had share in the division for Cambridge people of Shawsheen lands and in that record his name is Druse, as also in Roxbury record. His children were Vincent; John, before mentioned; Mary, who married 18 February 1678, Rosamond Drew. In his will of 29 November 1677, he provides for the children of son John, makes their mother and his son-in-law Rozman Drew executors.

VINCENT DRUCE, or VINCENT DRUSE, Cambridge village, son of the preceding. By wife Elizabeth, had John, born 25 February 1668; Mehitable, 26 September 1670; Mary, 9 August 1672; and Deliverance, 15 March 1674. He died 1683, or before June 1684, when his will was probated leaving widow Elizabeth. Besides these four children who are named in the will, he had Vincent.

SAMUEL DRUMER, Lynn. He died 30 November 1676, as Felt, in Genealogical Registrar V. 96, shows; but his name was not before ever heard, I think.

JOHN DRUMMOND, Boston. He married 27 November 1661, widow Lydia Hallet; but anything more is not known.

HUGH DRURY, Boston 1640, carpenter, freeman 1654, constable 1655 and 56, artillery company 1659. He lived some years at Sudbury, there by wife Lydia, who joined our church 12 March 1648, and she died 1675. He had John, born 2 May 1646; and Thomas. He married 1676, second wife Mary Fletcher, daughter of Edward Fletcher, and he died 1689.

JOHN DRURY, Boston, 1672, freeman 1673, carpenter, son of the preceding. By wife Mary, had Thomas and John, and he died 1678.

THOMAS DRURY, Sudbury, brother of the preceding. He married 15 December 1687, Rachel Rice, daughter of Henry Rice, had Caleb, born 5 October 1688; Thomas, 29 August 1690; John; Mary; Rachel; Lydia; Elizabeth, 22 June 1701; Micah, 2 May 1704; and Uriah, 17 January 1707. He was the first Representative of Framingham 1701, selectman, and town clerk many years. His will was probated 11 November 1723.

CHARLES DUCKWORTH, a soldier in Philip's war, of Turner's company left at Quaboag, March 1676.

MOSES DUDY, found by Mr. Babson at Gloucester, as servant of Robert Elwell, pressed into military service in Philip’s war, 1676, outlived it, and had grant of land in that town.

BYLEY DUDLEY, Exeter, son of the first Samuel Dudley. He married 25 October 1682, Elizabeth Gilman, daughter of Moses Gilman, had no children, and he died 1728.

FRANCIS DUDLEY, Concord. He married 26 October 1665, Sarah Wheeler, had Mary, Joseph, Samuel, Sarah, John, and Francis.

HUGH DUDLEY, Springfield, in the employment of William Pynchon. He married 1656, Mary Copley, daughter perhaps of widow Elizabeth Copley, sold out his property and removed.

JAMES DUDLEY, Exeter, son of the first Samuel Dudley, merchant. He married Elizabeth Leavitt, daughter of Samuel Leavitt, and he died 14 November 1720. His widow married 8 October 1724, Robert Briscoe; and next, 22 September 1730, Reverend John Odlin, both of Exeter.

JOHN DUDLEY, Charlestown 1658, was a witness 30 March 1671, then called 55 years old. He may have married Hannah Poulter, daughter of John Poulter, and as Shattuck says, lived at Concord, yet the age would be discarded. With such supposition but cannot be the man who was at Guilford 1673. He married that year Martha French, had John, born 1675; Mary, 14 May 1678; Nathaniel, 10 February 1680; Ebenezer, 27 February 1682; Mercy, 1684; Jonathan, 1686; Elizabeth, 1 October 1688; and Naomi, October 1690. In which year he died, all the children were then living. His name was early written Deadly; and he seems not connected with other Dudley's at Guilford.

JOSEPH DUDLEY, Roxbury, son of Governor Thomas Dudley. Freeman 1672, Representative 1673-75, artillery company 1677, an Assistant 1676 to 85, made President of the Colonies of Massachusetts and New Hampshire 1686. He had visited England in 1682, was of Andros's council and made Chief Justice of an unconstitutional Supreme Court; after being long imprisoned here. On the Revolution went in February 1690 to England but came back the same year with commissioner, as Chief Justice of Massachusetts, and was after Deputy Governor of the Isle of Wight under Lord Cutts, as Hutchinson II. 86 shows, 8 years and came home 1702, with commissioner as Governor, which place he served until November 1715. He died 2 April 1720. Of the character of so distinguished a politician the lineaments will borrow colors from the artist's pencil; yet that of Hutchinson II. 213, 214, shows an honorably impartiality, especially when we reflect how he must have known the envenom hatred of his relations the Mathers. Something darker is the portrait in Bancroft, III. 100, but he may have mistaken the secret feeling of Dudley's heart, and fell into wonderful error, when he closed the relation with that sad retribution. "His grave is among strangers," for all Roxbury could testify that his final resting place is close to that of his father and that he was buried in his native town, where he passed the last eighteen years of his life. In later editions the historian struck out that clause of malediction. His will of 27 October 1719, mentioned only two sons and bequeaths "his body to be buried with his father". His wife Rebecca Tyng, daughter of Edward Tyng, had Thomas Dudley, born 26 February 1670, baptized next day, Harvard College 1685, died young; Edward, 4 September 1671; Joseph, 8, baptized 9 November 1673; Paul Dudley, 3, baptized 5 September 1675, Harvard College 1690 (a much distinguished man, Chief Justice of the Province, father Roxbury soon married 15 September 1703, Lucy Wainwright), and died 21 January 1751; Samuel, 7 September 1677; John, 28 February baptized 2 March 1679; Rebecca, 16, baptized 22 May 1681 married 15 September 1702, Samuel Sewall; Catharine, 7 January, 1683, died same day; Ann, 27, baptized 31 August 1684 married 16 December 1707, John Winthrop; William Dudley, 20, baptized 24 October 1686, Harvard College 1704 (a man of eminence, speaker of the house, member of his majesty's council, father of Thomas Dudley, Harvard College 1750, and of Joseph Dudley, Harvard College 1751); Daniel, 4 February 1689; Catharine, again, 5 January 1690, who married 20 April 1714, William Dummer; and Mary, 2 November 1692, who married 1 January 1713, Francis Wainwright, and next, Joseph Atkins. He died 19 November 1774; and the daughter of the Governor died 21 September 1722, aged 71. One of the most curious combinations in New England History is detailed in his correspondence with Increase and Cotton Mather, 1708, for which see 1 Massachusetts History Collections III. 126-137. Both of the Reverend casuists display much shrewdness and more malignity.

JOSEPH DUDLEY, Guilford, son of William Dudley of the same. He married 6 October 1670, Ann Robinson, daughter of Thomas Robinson, had Joseph and Benjamin, twins born 17 June 1671; Caleb, 1673; Joshua, 17 December 1674; Miles, 17 December 1676; William; Mary, who married Joseph Wright of Colchester; Mercy, who married Joseph Bartlett of Northampton; and Ann. He died 3 June 1712.

PAUL DUDLEY, Boston, merchant, youngest son of Governor Thomas Dudley, artillery company 1677. He married Mary Leverett, daughter of Governor Leverett, had Paul, born 4, baptized 14 March 1678, probably died young; and Thomas, baptized 2 May 1680, besides, perhaps, a posthumous child provided for in his will, that was born 26 April 1682, and four days after baptized Paul Dudley, at Willard's church. He was Collector of the customs under the Colony ordination, and died 1 December 1681. His widow married Penn Townsend, as 2nd wife.

SAMUEL DUDLEY, Exeter, eldest brother of the preceding, born not, perhaps, at Northampton in England about 1610, as often said, came with his father in 1630, was Lieutenant in 1631, freeman 7 October 1640. He married 1632 or 33, Mary Winthrop, daughter of first Governor Winthrop. Had in Boston probably Thomas Dudley, baptized 9 March 1634, Harvard College 1651; John, 28 June 1635; Margaret, at Cambridge, died young; Samuel at Boston, born 2, baptized 11 August 1639, died within four years. At Salisbury, he had Ann, born 16 October 1641, who married Edward Hilton of Exeter. His wife died 12 April 1643. He soon married Mary Byley, who is by Mr. Dean Dudley with much probably conjecture to have been sister of Henry Byley, had Theophilus, 31 October 1644; Mary, 21 April 1646, died soon; Byley, 27 September 1647; Mary, again, 6 January 1650; and Thomas, again. By third wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 1652; Stephen; James, born 1663; Timothy; Abigail; Dorothy; Rebecca; and Samuel; but we know not their respective dates. He was Representative for Salisbury 1644, had some desire to go to New London. He was some years at Hampton, and finally became the minister at Exeter, and he died 10 February 1684. Mary married Samuel Hardy of Beverly; Abigail married a Watson; Dorothy married 26 October 1681, Moses Leavitt; Rebecca married 21 November 1681, Francis Lyford; and Elizabeth married 25 September 1674, Kinsley Hall.

SAMUEL DUDLEY, Exeter, perhaps youngest child of the preceding. By wife Hannah, had Samuel; Jonathan; Mary; Joanna; Elizabeth, born 9 February 1714; Sarah, 9 April 1716; and Mary. He died 1732.

STEPHEN DUDLEY, Exeter, son of the first Samuel Dudley. He married 24 December 1684, Sarah Gilman, daughter of John Gilman; second wife Mary Thing, perhaps daughter of Jonathan Thing; and third wife Mercy Gilman, perhaps daughter of John Gilman. It is said he had seven sons, four daughters, and died 1734. His children all by first wife were Samuel, born 19 December 1686; Stephen, 10 March 1688; James, 11 June 1690; John, 4 October 1692, killed by the Indians 1710; Nicholas, 27 August 1694; Joanna, 3 May 1697; Treworthy, 1700; Joseph, 1702; Sarah, 15 January 1706; Abigail; and Elizabeth.

THEOPHILUS DUDLEY, Exeter, son of the first Samuel Dudley, eldest by the second wife. He was never married but was a Judge from 1707 to 1713.

THOMAS DUDLEY, Roxbury, third Governor of Massachusetts Bay, and second in it, according to the Royal charter was son of Captain Roger Dudley, it is said, born at Northampton, England 1576; having leave from Queen Elizabeth to volunteer, he served under Henry IV. of France, says a reputable tradition. At the siege of Amiens, lived after at Northampton, but by Isaac Johnson, who names him one of the executors of his will, is called of Clipsham, County Rutland. He came over 1630, probably in the Arbella, as Deputy Governor was early at Newtown, or Cambridge, and a short time at Ipswich, had a mill at Watertown, at last fixed at Roxbury, was an Assistant 1635, and some later years but Deputy Governor 13 years, Governor 1634, 40, 45, and 50. He died 31 July 1653, aged 76, and was buried 6 August. His wife Dorothy died 27 December 1643, aged 61. He married 14 April 1644 Catharine Hackburne, daughter of Samuel Hackburne, whose maiden name was Dighton, and who married 8 November 1653, Reverend John Allin of Dedham. The children of both wives were, perhaps, Thomas Dudley, bred at Emanuel College Cambridge, where he had his degrees 1626, and 1630, but certainly he came not to our country before 1636, if at all; yet that he did come, may be argued from the strange adage of senior to the name of the father at his election as Deputy Governor 17 May 1637, for the first time, while from the omission of the epithet at all subsequent mentions of him, one will infer, that the son died within that year; Samuel, before mentioned; Ann, born about 1612 married before leaving England, Simon Bradstreet, the Governor after, who was a lady of literary powers, and died 16 September 1672; Patience married Major-General Daniel Denison; Sarah, baptized at Sempringham in Lincolnshire 23 July 1620 married 6 September 1648, Major Benjamin Payne of Boston, and after his repudiation of her, one Pacy (I suppose, only for convenience), died 3 November 1659, when her estate as by inventory swore by Captain James Johnson, less than £10, was by the Court given to her daughter Ann, killed; Mercy, born 27 September 1621 married Reverend John Woodbridge, died 1 July 1691; these all born probably in England by the first wife, and Deborah, 27 February baptized 2 March 1645, who married Jonathan Wade of Medford; Joseph Dudley, 23, baptized 26 September 1647, Harvard College 1665; and Paul, baptized 8 September 1650, both before mentioned, by second wife.

THOMAS DUDLEY, Exeter, eldest son of Samuel Dudley, was tutor at the College for a short time. He died unmarried. In his will which was probated 7 November 1655 refers to few matters. It is in Genealogical Registrar V. 444.

THOMAS DUDLEY, son of Samuel Dudley by his second wife, swore allegiance at Hampton 1678. He had wife Mary, and he died 1713.

WILLIAM DUDLEY, Guilford 1639. He married 1636 at Oakley in Surry, England, Jane Lutman who came with him probably as friends of Reverend Henry Whitfield, and she died 1 May 1674. He had William, born 8 September 1639; Joseph, 24 April 1643; Ruth, 20 April 1645; Deborah, 20 September 1647; and another child. He died 6 March 1684.

He first sat down at Roxbury, built a mill there 1633, freeman 6 November 1632, removed in short time to Boston, at desire of his wife Mary, who died in few years. He then removed to Newbury with early settlers, was an Assistant 1635 and 36, favored Wheelwright, and was turned out and disarmed 1637, and soon went home. He came again 1638, in the Bevis from Southampton, then called 40 years old, with brothers and other relatives. He was Representative 1640, 45 and 47.

He came in the Bevis from Southampton 1638, with wife whose name was Alice Archer, aged 35; and children Jane, 10; Dorothy, 6; Richard, 4; and Thomas, 2; as is conjectured from the custom house list, which also gives him ten servants (unless some were for other people), taken in connection with our knowledge, is about other of his relatives, was freeman 22 May 1639. He had Mehitabel, born 1 January 1640. Jane married 25 March 1646, Henry Sewall, junior, and the father went home next year and, I presume, carried all the other children.

He married daughter of Thomas North of New Haven, who had first been widow aged 16, or 17, of Philip Petersfield of Turnstile Alley in the parish of Holborne, and was daughter of Walter Price of Newington Butts, County Surrey, and had come to New Hampshire about 1644. She got leave of her husband to go home 1670, to look after estate as appears in Genealogical Registrar XI. 159, and probably did not come back, but died in England.

HENRY DUNSTER, Cambridge, first President of Harvard College. A Lancashire man, son of Henry Dunster of Balehoult, a seat in Bury of that County came in 1640. He resided a short time in Boston, was of artillery company 1640, but not of our church, so that we may he sure he was of another town probably Cambridge before administered as freeman 2 June 1641. He was bred at Magdalen College in the University of Cambridge, had his degrees 1630 and 1634. Soon after coming he was made President 27 August 1640, compelled to resign 24 October 1654, on account of his opinions on infant baptism. He was desired to come to Ireland by the deputy Henry Cromwell and his council and 50 advanced for his passage, but he was nice enough to avoid that evil. He died at Scituate 18 or 27 February 1659, where he preached all his latter days. But his heart's desire was to be buried at Cambridge, where, in his will, he says lay the remains of some of his babes. He names, as living two sons David and Jonathan, daughter Elizabeth, sister Hills, wife of Joseph of Malden, and her children, sister Willard of Concord, and her children, and cousin Faith Dunster. His first wife Elizabeth Glover married June 1641, died 23 August 1643. She was daughter of Reverend Josse Glover. By second wife Elizabeth, he had David, born 16 May 1645; Dorothy, 29 January 1648; Henry, 1650; Jonathan, 28 September or another account says, 26 October 1663; and, after removed from Cambridge to Scituate, Elizabeth, 29 December 1666. Elizabeth who at Cambridge they presume to have been his widow, died in her 60th year 12 September 1690, as the record plainly, but falsely, bears; for if it be so, she must have been only 14 years old when he took her for his second wife and less than 9 years old, when her husband died on the ocean. Perhaps she was not mother of Glover's children.

JONATHAN DUNSTER, Cambridge, son of the preceding. He married 5 December 1678, Abigail Eliot, had Henry, born 17 July 1680; and Elizabeth, 22 February 1682. For second wife 5 April 1693, he took Deborah Wade of Medford. The son Henry Dunster had two daughters buried at Cambridge. In other parts of Massachusetts as well as in New Hampshire descendants of the long suffered President remain; and Deane says that one of them did the presswork for his History of Scituate.

RICHARD DUNSTER, Cambridge 1642, brother of Henry Dunster, of which no more is known. A very curious letter of March 1641, to him from his father in Lancashire, is in 4 History Collections II. 191. Sisters of the President were Elizabeth Dunster and Margaret Dunster, who successively were wives of Major Simon Willard? The latter survived him. He married Joseph Noyes of Sudbury, and a third, perhaps, Rose, was wife of Captain Joseph Hills of Malden. One niece, Elizabeth, was wife of Benanuel Bowers; and another Faith. He married 12 May 1664, John Page of Groton.

Her cause by killing ten of the Indians family who had charge of these two prisoners with an England youth, Samuel Leonardson. See Magnalia VII. 90. Hutchinson II. 106. Dwight's Travels.

He died December 1684, aged 100 or more, as with greater confidence than probability is said. He had been administered inhabitant of Newport 1638, and there probably Esther was born and perhaps other children. His daughter Esther married 7 June 1658, Samuel Elwell, and died 6 September 1721, aged 82; and Babson names other daughters Alice, who married a Meacham; Grace, who married a Hodgkins; both of Ipswich, besides Mary, who married 22 June 1669, Joseph Elwell.

THOMAS DWIGHT, Dedham, freeman 1653, may have been brother of John Dwight, though from a scrupulous examination of the Colony Record in the list of freemen 1653 and 1655, it may well be thought that there was no such person, but this name inserted for Timothy; and that the astonishing carelessness of repetition of thirty-one out of the total thirty-two names makes the probability in the doctrine of chances stand for Timothy about 30 to 1.

TIMOTHY DWIGHT, Dedham, perhaps brother of John Dwight, at Hampton 1640, freeman 2 June 1641, Representative 1652 for Medfield, where he resided many years. He died 1677. In his will, probated April 1677, he names wife Dorcas Watson, who was elder daughter of John Watson of Roxbury, and children Timothy and John.

TIMOTHY DWIGHT, Dedham, son of John Dwight, born in England about 1633, freeman 1655, was Representative 1691 and 92, by the new charter, and perhaps later. Had six wives and more than twice as many children but we can hardly appropriate the mother's. The first, Sarah Sibly, as in the will of his father she is named (but Perman, as Goodwin, I think erroneously says), married 11 November 1651, lived not long, and died with children 1652. He married 3 May 1653, Sarah Powell, daughter of Michael Powell, who died about 27 June, or 10 July 1664. He had Timothy, baptized 1 October 1654, though Goodwin makes him born 1 November; Sarah, 12 April 1657, died young; John, 2 June 1661; Sarah, again, probably 26 June 1664, died young. Next, by Ann Flint, daughter of Henry Flint, who he married 9 January 1665, who died 29 January 1685, he had Josiah, baptized 15 October 1665, died soon; Nathaniel, 25 November 1666; Samuel, 6 December 1668; Josiah Dwight, again, 19 February 1671, Harvard College 1687, before mentioned; Seth, born 25 July 1673; Ann, who died 15 October 1675, at 2 months; Henry, 10 December 1676, before mentioned; Michael, 10 January 1680; Daniel, 23 September 1681; and Jabez, 1 September 1684, died soon. The 4th wife said to have been widow Mary Edmunds, married 7 January 1686, and died 30 August 1688. The fifth wife was Esther Fisher, daughter of Honorable Daniel Fisher, married 31 July 1690, who died 30 January 1691. And last was Bethia Morse married 1 February 1692, and she died 6 February 1718. She bore him no children nor did the fourth or fifth wife. He died 31 January 1718, aged 88, some say; but in 85th year is probable.

TIMOTHY DWIGHT, Boston, son of the preceding, a goldsmith. He had wife Elizabeth, and died 2 January 1692. In his will, 9 December 1691, probated 27 January 1692, names no children, gives all to his wife except a gun to his brother Michael Dwight.

WILLIAM DWIGHT, Ipswich 1668. Felt. Fifteen of this name had in 1634 been graduates at Harvard and twice the number at Yale.

JOHN DWINELL, JOHN DUENNELL, or JOHN DUNNELL, Topsfield, son of Michael Dwinell. By wife Mary Read married as is said, 1701, had Keziah, born 14 December 1703; Tryphena, 20 December 1705; Tryphosa, 23 September 1709; and John, 23 April 1711.

JOSEPH DWINELL, JOSEPH DUENNELL, or JOSEPH DUNNELL, youngest brother of the preceding. By wife Prudence, had George, born 15 May 1716; Joseph, 14 July 1718; Mercy, 19 February 1721; Zechariah, 14 July 1723; Mary, 23 February 1725; and James, 2 November 1728. He was drowned 1747.

MICHAEL DWINELL, MICHAEL DUENNELL, or MICHAEL DUNNELL, Topsfield 1668. By wife Mary, had Mary, born 21 January 1669; Michael, 5 December 1670; Thomas, 20 November 1672; John, 16 December 1674; Elizabeth, 17 April 1677, who died unmarried 1759; Magdalen or Maudlin, 24 February 1679; Joseph, 26 January 1681; Joanna, 1685; and Susanna, 5 April 1690. His will was of 29 January 1711, but not probated for seven years. Mary married 11 January 1692, John Hovey; Magdalen married 3 March 1703, James Holgate; Joanna married 16 October 1706, Nathaniel Hood; and Susanna married John Devenish, as is said.

MICHAEL DWINELL, MICHAEL DUENNELL, or MICHAEL DUNNELL, Topsfield, eldest son of the preceding, a physician, had five wives it is said, and so tradition easily made seven. He married 5 February 1693, Elizabeth Cave, had Thomas, born 3 October 1693, died young; and perhaps the wife died soon after. Though we know not the date of marriage of second wife Hannah, some of the children following may be borne by the first, Sarah, 20 June 1697; Mary, 25 April 1702; Michael, 7 January 1706; Stephen, 5 March 1708; Hannah, 12 March 1710; Jacob, 31 January 1715; and Abigail, 5 November 1719. By the third wife married 10 December 1724, Elizabeth Fiske, who died 26 March 1730, had Benjamin, 10 November 1726; and Thomas, 26 August 1729, who probably died young. By last wife Mary Balch married 1 February 1733, who outlived him, he had Elizabeth, 29 October 1733. His will is of 17 July 1753. Some diversity exists in account of the wives.

THOMAS DWINELL, THOMAS DUENNELL, or THOMAS DUNNELL, Topsfield, brother of the preceding. He married 23 May 1701, Desire Brimsdell, or by another account Dinah Brimsdell of Lynn, had Jonathan, born 27 June 1702; Mary, 3 January 1704; Ruth, 12 January 1706; Daniel, 20 March 1709; Thomas, 3 December 1711; Susanna, 12 August 1715; Jacob, 11 September 1719; and Amos 19 March 1722. He made his will 2 June 1747, when wife was living.

ANDREW DYAMONT, Maine, perhaps Kittery, authorized in 1680, to hold courts at Isle of Shoals, where he lived in 1671.

JOHN DYAMONT, Kittery 1608. The name, thus spelled in record may be the same as Diman.

BENJAMIN DYER, Boston, freeman 1675, may have been son of Thomas Dyer. His wife Mary died 15 March 1690.

CHARLES DYER, Providence, son perhaps youngest of William Dyer of the same His will 5 January 1727, probated 6 February 1727, provided for widow Mary, named executrix, and Mary and Elizabeth. Directed division in equal parts of residue of his estate yet the eldest to have 20 additional. Of the five sons and if his wife failed, Samuel of Newport to be executor. The sons were Samuel, John, William, Thomas, and Charles, the last the eldest Elisha. The Governor of the State 1857, is descendant.

GEORGE DYER, Dorchester, sat on the jury at Court of Assistant 28 September 1630, and may well be presumed to have come in the Mary and John, requested administration as freeman 19 October and was sworn 18 May following. He was made constable 1632. He had wife Elizabeth, daughter Elizabeth who married William Trescott; and Mary, wife of William Pond. He died June 1672. His will was of 30 December 1671.

GILES DYER, Boston, artillery company 1680. By wife Hannah, had Giles, born 30 October 1674, died young; Mary, 28 June 1677; Elizabeth; Hannah, 8 August 1683; and Giles Dyer, again, 5 December 1685, Harvard College 1706. He was a Colonel and Sheriff of the County. He died 12 August 1713. His will of 15 July 1713 names wife Hannah and two children only, Giles, and Elizabeth Raisin, a widow and her son George Raisin.

JOHN DYER, came in the Christian at the age of 28, 1635, and two years after served in the Pequot war. He probably settled at New London before 1650, and soon after went to Long Island where he was in 1659. 3 Massachusetts History Collections VI. 171, and VIII. 252, with Trumbull. Collection Record I. 218.

JOHN DYER, Boston. By wife Mary, had Thomas, born 18 September 1673; and Benjamin, 15 July 1677. He was probably son of Thomas Dyer of Weymouth. There had John, born 29 February 1672. At Boston by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, 1 July 1679; Nathaniel, 17 October 1681; Mary, 3 June 1683; Samuel, 13 October 1685; and Joseph, 2 March 1687. Administration of his estate was given 11 June 1696 to widow and eldest son John.

JOSEPH DYER, Weymouth, brother of the preceding. He married 1676, Hannah Frary, who died 1682, had Elizabeth and Hannah, born 10 October 1682, died soon. In 1683 he married Hannah Baxter, daughter I suppose, of John Baxter of Braintree, had Hannah, born 13 February 1684; Joseph, 19 June 1686; Benjamin, 13 April 1688; Mary or Mehitable, rather, according to her father's will, 12 April 1690; John, 9 April 1692; and Thomas, 15 April 1694. He was freeman 1678, Deacon, and died 12 October 1704. His will was made 30 July 1701, and his brothers Benjamin Dyer, and Reverend Joseph Baxter to be overseers.

MAHERSHALLALHASHBAZ DYER, Newport 1661, son of William Dyer. Rhode Island History Collections III. 252. The name is reverently borrowed from Isaiah viii. 1. Some antiquary of Rhode Island ought to inform the world, how, in soft moments of relaxation so formidable a Hebrew prefix was abbreviated to a monosyllable by his mother or sister or brother, it may have been Mar, or Buz, as either end was chosen for this discipline of affection; but to write it, as my friend and learned correspondent at Providence has, Mayhershall, is a wantonness of perversion that may seem his highest moral obliquity. Probably no other child on this side of the ocean has suffered such infliction though it has been long a tradition that a fondness for Old Testament names, in one instance, brought Beelzebub into use.

SAMUEL DYER, Wickford, brother of the preceding, born in Boston, was long engaged with his father and others in promoting the settlement in the Narraganset country 1661-74.

THOMAS DYER, Weymouth, cloth worker, said to have come as early as 1632, but probably it was sometime later. He married Agnes Reed, who died 4 December 1667, had Mary, born 6 July 1641; John, 10 July 1643, before mentioned; Thomas, 1645, died young; Abigail, 1647; Sarah, 1649; Thomas, again, 5 May 1651; and Joseph and Benjamin, twins 6 November 1603. He was freeman 1644, Representative 1646 and four years more, was Deacon, and died 6 November 1676, aged 63, but the gravestone says, died 15 November aged 64. He left very good estate, disposed of by will three days before to wife, children, and each of his grandchildren besides Reverend Samuel Torrey. His widow Elizabeth in her will of 20 November 1678, probated 31 January 1679, names daughter Elizabeth Adams, sons Abraham and John Harding.

WILLIAM DYER, Boston 1635, who wrote the name, Dyre, was a milliner from London. By wife Mary, had Samuel, baptized 20 December 1635, husband and wife having united with our children on the Sunday preceding. He was freeman 3 March 1636, was next year disarmed as a supporter of Wheelwright, disfranchised and, 1638, driven to Rhode Island. Other children were William, Henry, Mahershallalhashbaz, and Charles. At Newport he was in good esteem, Secretary of that Colony and prevailed with the government of ours in 1659 (when his wife had come to Boston to preach Quakerism, and was condemned to death therefore), to spare her life; but the insane desire of martyrdom led the poor woman back here in 1660 to the scaffold; served to show how useless was the unnatural lenity of Endicot, who knows well what the honor of God demanded. Hutchinson I presume to be in error, I. 200, when he speaks of the petition having in note on the preceding page referred to the Secretary as husband or son.

WILLIAM DYER, Dorchester. He died 1672, says Blake, "in the 93rd year of his age."

WILLIAM DYER, Lynn. He had Mary, born 4 September 1673, and James, 23 October 1681.

WILLIAM DYER, Boston, surveyor of the customs and searcher of the port 1680. Hutchinson I. 330.

WILLIAM DYER, Barnstable. He married December 1686, Mary Taylor, had Lydia, born 30 March 1688; William, 30 October 1690; Jonathan, February 1692; Henry, 11 April 1693; Isabel, July 1695; Ebenezer, 3 April 1697; Samuel, 30 October 1698; and Judah, April 1701. Three of this name had been graduates at Harvard and six at the other New England Colleges in 1834.
