PREFACE

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.

 H

WILLIAM HABBERFIELD, Boston 1683, clothier.  He had wife Mary, and, I suppose, was of Lynn.  He was the freeman 1691, with Mr. before his surname, possibly intended in the record for William.

 WILLIAM HACK Taunton.  He had William, born at Plymouth, 15 November 1663, and wife Mary, who took administration 1667, because he was long gone home.  His son was a Sergeant in Gallop’s company 1690, for the expedition to Quebec; and no more is known of him. 

GEORGE HACKER, Salem, perhaps son of William Hacker.  He married September 1672, Bethia Meacham, perhaps daughter of Jeremiah Meacham, had Bethia, born 25 July 1673, died at one year; Bethia, again, 9 March 1675; George, 13 August 1678; and  Sarah, 28 February 1681.  He was made prison-keeper 1698.

WILLIAM HACKER, Lynn 1643.  He was aged about 65, when he died in 1661.  Possibly this may be the same as Hackett or Harker at Southampton, Long Island, who was settler chiefly from Lynn, was the name of Hacker; but Farmer suggests that this might be Hagar.

 THOMAS HACKERBERRY, one of the soldiers in Moseley's company December  1675, marched to Narraganset.

 JABEZ HACKETT, Lynn 1644.  He removed to Taunton, there had John, born 26 December 1654; Jabesh, 12 September 1656; Mary, 9 January 1660; Sarah, 13 July 1661; Samuel, 29 July 1664; and Hannah, 25 January 1667.  Sarah married 18 December 1689, Edward Cobb; and Hannah married 14 January 1685, Robert Godfrey.

JOHN HACKETT, Boston.  By wife Rebecca, had Mary, born 26 June 1689. 

JOHN HACKETT, Taunton, eldest son of Jabez Hackett.  He married 10 September 1688, Elinor Gardner. 

SAMUEL HACKETT, Taunton, youngest brother of the preceding.  He married 28 March 1690, Mary Crane. 

WILLIAM HACKETT, Salem.  A youth, he was executed January 1642, for bestiality.  Winthrop II. 48.

WILLIAM HACKETT, Dover 1657.  At Exeter had Mary, born 2 December 1665, when perhaps his wife died.  He was of Amesbury 1666, a mariner.  He married 31 January 1667, Sarah Barnard, daughter I think, of Thomas Barnard of Salisbury, had at Salisbury Sarah, born 8 February 1668; Ephraim, 7 March 1680; William, 10 March 1683; Judah, 2 January 1685;  Ebenezer, 17 October 1687; besides, perhaps, Rebecca (earlier than Ephraim), who married August 1695, Jonathan Whiting of Portsmouth.  These four sons may have been son of another.  Perhaps he came from Lynn.

WILLIAM HACKETT, Salisbury, possibly son of the preceding.  He had Ephraim, born 7 March or 11 March 1680; William, 10 March 1683; Judah, 2 January 1685; and Ebenezer, 17 October 1687.

 

WILLIAM HACKFORD, Salem 1637.  Felt.  Probably he soon removed.

 

FRANCIS HACKLINTON, or FRANCIS HACKLETON, Northampton 1661, a brick maker, unmarried perhaps.  He removed next year to Hartford and married Joanna Wakeman, daughter of Samuel Wakeman. 

 

JOHN HACKWELL, came in the Increase, 1635, aged 18, but we know not of his residence.

 

JOHN HADAWAY, Barnstable.  See Hathaway, the modern name.

 

GEORGE HADBORNE, from Stepney, near London, a glover.  He came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 43, with wife Ann, 46, and children Rebecca, 10; Ann, 4; and two servants.  Where he sat down has not been found. 

 

FERMAN HADDEN, or FERMAN HADDON, Charlestown, perhaps son of Jared Hadden, Gerard Hadden, or whatever his name was, of Cambridge.  By wife (to which Bellingham, Deputy Governor married him 5 May 1657, but by his carelessness, or that of the Register the name is blank, yet in the register of births her baptized name is found), Elizabeth, had Sarah, born 15 December 1657; Samuel, 27 February 1659; and perhaps more.

JARED HADDEN, or JARED HADDON, JERAD HADDEN, or JERAD HADDON, GARRETT HADDEN, or GARRETT HADDON, or GERARD HADDEN, or GERARD HADDON, Cambridge 1632.  He came, probably in the fleet with Winthrop, for he is among the first hundred members of the Boston church.  He was administered prior to any second arrival, freeman 14 May 1634, and a proprietor of Salisbury 1640.  He had wife Margaret, and had at Salisbury by her, Sarah, born 15 January 1640.  He was living at Salisbury 1663.  His wife died 20 March 1673.

GEORGE HADDEN, or GEORGE HADDON, Cambridge, or at least Harvard College 1647, may have been son of the preceding.  But where his after life was spent, or when he died is unknown.  Conjecture that he went to England is plausible.  A Catharine Hadden is witness to the will of Thomas Bittlestone at Cambridge and may have been first wife or even daughter of Jared.

 

GEORGE HADLEY, Ipswich 1639, lived in 1678, says Felt.

GEORGE HADLEY, Rowley 1668, was perhaps the same or son of the preceding.

JOHN HADLEY, Gloucester, 1683.

SAMUEL HADLEY, Amesbury, son of George Hadley, swore allegiance December 1677.

 

JAMES HADLOCK, Roxbury.  He married 19 May 1669, Sarah Draper, had Sarah, born 16 December 1670.  He removed to Salem, there had, in 1678, wife Rebecca, daughter probably of Richard Hutchinson, who he married May 1658, unless the numerals in Essex Institute II. 150 and 1, be wrong, as they probably are, sons James, and John, daughters Mary, Hannah, there said to be born July 1657; Sarah, September 1659; and Rebecca.  But possibly he had some of these by another wife for the will of Hutchinson, 1682, calls him son-in-law, but names not the wife nor any Hadlock grandchildren except Sarah.  James, junior, was included in the tax list (Mr. Felt assures me) of 1682 for Salem village.

JOHN HADLOCK, Concord.  He died 1675.

JOHN HADLOCK, Salem, probably son of James Hadlock.  He married 16 January 1694, Sarah Pasque or Sarah Pasco, had Sarah, baptized June 1695; and Margery, 27 September 1696.

NATHANIEL HADLOCK, Charlestown 1643, freeman 1646, after 1658 removed to Lancaster.  By wife Mary, had Mary, born 31 May 1641; and Nathaniel, 5 June 1643.

NATHANIEL HADLOCK, Salem, perhaps son of the preceding, suffered says Felt, November 1668, with Quakers, removed to Gloucester.  He married 1 May 1673, Remember Jones, had Nathaniel, born 1677; Deborah, 1679; John, born 27 February 1682; James, 1684; Samuel, 1687; Mary, 1696; and Benjamin, 1700; besides Joseph, and William, as Babson teaches.

 

WILLIAM HADWELL, a passenger in the Arabella from London 1671, of which we know no more.

 

RICHARD HAFFELL, or RICHARD HAFFIELD, Ipswich.  He came, 1635, in the Planter, aged 54, with wife Martha, 42, and children Mary, 17; Sarah, 14; Martha, 8; Rachel, 6; and Ruth, 3.  He lived not long, I think, for his will as made 17 February 1639; though not probated until 29 September 1668, perhaps because in providing for the five daughters and their mother it exactly following the law.  Abstract is in Genealogical Registrar III. 156.

 

WILLIAM HAFFUT, given by Mr. Coffin in Genealogical Registrar VI. 341, as aged 48, in 1668, though no indication of residence is seen.

 

JOHN HAGAR, or JOHN AGAR, Watertown, perhaps son of the first William Hagar, 1771 a soldier in brave Captain Davenport's company killed in the great Narraganset battle, 19 December 1675.

SAMUEL HAGAR, or SAMUEL AGAR, Watertown, son of William Hagar, was freeman 1690.  He married Sarah Mixer, daughter of Isaac Mixer, had Sarah, baptized 24 May 1691; Mary, 25 July 1697; Samuel, born 1 September 1698; and Isaac, 24 April 1701.  He died 13 February 1705.  His will of 27 May 1704 made brother Isaac Mixer and son Samuel executors, named wife Sarah, and children Isaac, Sarah, and Mary.

WILLIAM HAGAR, or WILLIAM AGAR, Watertown.  He probably came in the fleet with Winthrop as he was made freeman 18 May 1631, though he may have arrived only a few weeks before with Reverend Roger Williams, but nothing more is known of him.

WILLIAM HAGAR, or WILLIAM AGAR, Watertown, perhaps son of the preceding, born in England.  He married 20 March 1645, Mary Bemis, had Mary, born 25 December 1645; Ruhamah and Samuel, twins 20 November 1647; Hannah, 21 November 1649; Sarah, 3 September 1651; Susanna; William, 12 February 1659; Rebecca, 29 October 1661; Abigail, and Mehitable.  He died 10 January 1684.  His widow died December 1695.  Ruhamah married Joseph Wait; Sarah married 12 March 1674, Nathaniel Whitney; Susanna married Joseph Groat; Hannah married Priest; Abigail married 30 March 1687, Benjamin Whitney; Rebecca married 14 July 1681, Nathaniel Healey; and Mehitable married 20 June 1687, Nathaniel Norcross.

WILLIAM HAGAR, or WILLIAM AGAR, Watertown, son of the preceding.  He married 30 March 1687, Sarah Benjamin, daughter of the second John Benjamin, had perhaps first born William; Sarah; Mary; John, born 29 April 1697; Ebenezer, 13 August 1698; Joseph, 1 January 1702; Mehitable, 7 May 1704; and Mercy, 1707.  He died 8 May 1731, and his widow died 20 October 1745, aged 82.  Well has the name being perpetuated.

 

ABRAHAM HAGBORNE, or ABRAHAM HACKBORNE, Boston, shoemaker.  By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth; Sarah, born 24 December 1639; Isaac, baptized 2 October 1642, 7 days old; and Joseph, born 8 October 1652.  He was freeman 1645, when in Colony record the spelling is Hackburne.  Elizabeth the daughter married 8 September 1654, James Young.

SAMUEL HAGBORNE, or SAMUEL HACKBORNE, Roxbury.  By wife Catharine Dighton, whose family name, it is said, was Dighton, had Elizabeth, born in England says the town record 7 May 1635; Samuel, 20 January 1638; John, 26 May 1640; and Hannah, baptized 5 June 1642, though the authentic careless copy of records in Boston says born 5 January 1643.  Freeman 2 May 1638, and he died 24 January 1643, though other record says "7 December 1642, leaving good estate.  In his will 19 January 1643, of which abstract is in Genealogical Registrar II. 261, he calls Abraham brother.  His widow married 14 April 1644, Governor Thomas Dudley, whose wife died near the end of December 1643.  And after his death 31 July 1653, she married in less time than Dudley had been widow 8 November 1653 Reverend John Allin of Dedham.  She had children by all the husbands and died 29 August 1671, three days only after the last, in whose grave she was buried.  Hannah married 24 December 1662, Samuel Hunting.

SAMUEL HAGBORNE, or SAMUEL HACKBORNE, Near London, son of the preceding, was in office of trust 1664, and had been there four years before and continued at least four years after.

 

HENRY HAGGETT, Salem 1642, freeman 1670.  He was probably of Wenham at his death 1676, in 83rd year leaving widow and children Henry, Moses, Mary, Deliverance, and Hannah, who married 1665, Philip Welsh of Ipswich.  Probably another daughter Abigail married 22 September 1668, Thomas Spofford.

MOSES HAGGETT, Andover, son of the preceding.  He married 23 October 1671, Joanna Johnson.  And on 21 February 1700, he married Martha Poor, widow of John Granger, and daughter I think, of Daniel Poor.

 

WILLIAM HAILSTONE, Taunton 1640, an original proprietor bought in 1646, an estate at Boston, as by the Book of Possessions is probated but sold next year.  He was living 1675.  Baylies, I. 286, II. 282.  His daughter Margaret married 14 October 1659, Samuel Fletcher of Chelmsford.

 

JOHN HAIMES, Boston.  By wife Mary, had Catharine, baptized 21 May 1682.

 

HAINES. See Haynes.

 

JOHN HAKES, Windsor.  He had John, baptized 13 August 1643; Nathaniel, 16 February 1645; Elizabeth, 10 January 1647; Ann, 1 October 1648; Isaac, 11 August 1650; Mary, 23 May 1652; Joanna, 8 February 1654; Eleazer, 20 December 1655; besides Sarah, and Gershom, whose dates are incompatible.  So strange sounding a name excites doubt of the chirography on the record but all this and more is supported by Stiles, in History of Windsor 651.

 

ARTHUR HALBRIDGE, ARTHUR HALBICH, ARTHUR HOLBRIDGE, or ARTHUR HOLBICH, Boston 1635.  He removed to New Haven, said to have come 1638, certainly there June 1639, and some years later.  He died 1648.  His widow recorded assistance by public contribution and brought her children Mercy and John to be baptized 30 June 1650.

 

GERSHOM HALE, Springfield.  He had several children before going thither, and one born 1698, when his wife Ann died there.  Whence he came, or who was his father is unknown, a son and a daughter were married 1708.

JOHN HALE, Beverly, eldest child of Deacon Hale of Charlestown.  He married 15 December 1664, Rebecca, daughter not (as Coffin in Genealogical Registrar VI. 311, says) daughter of Henry Byley of Salisbury (who seems the more strange, as on page 246 of the same Volume he had noted truly that Byley's widow married John Hall, yet six lines after, makes her marrying Reverend John Hale). This blunder that arose from similar names would have been avoided by that most diligent antiquary, had he considered the times of the two marriages as the widow got her second husband when Hale was not five years old.  He had Rebecca, born 28 April 1666; and Robert Hale, 3 November 1668, Harvard College 1686.  He was ordained 20 September 1667, after preaching three years to the new formed congregation.  His wife died 13 April 1683.  He married 31 March 1684, Sarah Noyes, daughter of Reverend James Noyes, I presume, and had James Hale, 14 October 1685, Harvard College 1703; Samuel, 13 August 1687; Joanna, 15 June 1689; and John, 24 December 1692.  This wife died 20 May 1695, and 8 August 1698 he married Elizabeth Somerby, widow of Nathaniel Clark, daughter of Henry Somerby, who outlived him.  He served as one of the chaplains in the Quixotic expedition equally brief and disastrous, of Sir William Phips, 1690, against Canada.  In the outbreak of the diabolical witchcraft, 1692, was, of course, by his proximity to the chief incantation much engaged.  Most luckily, somebody of Wenham made charge of that crime upon his second wife then big with her last child.  And his eyes were opened to the monstrous delusion, as with great moderation and dignity is set forth in a tract published by him a few years after.  See a valuable Memoir 3 Massachusetts History Collections VII. 255.  He died 15 May 1700.  Of his children Robert Hale was a prominent man, author, I think, of those verses on Nathaniel Mather, found at the end of Lib. IV. of his brother's Magnalia; James was minister of Ashford; and Samuel, progenitor of a long line that has distinguished itself in New Hampshire.

JOHN HALE, Newbury, son of the first Thomas Hale of the same.  He married 5 December 1660, Rebecca Lowell, daughter of Richard Lowell, had John, born 2 September 1661.  His wife died 1 June 1662.  He married 8 December 1663, Sarah Somerby, daughter of Henry Somerby, had Samuel, born 15 October 1664, died at 8 years; Henry, 20 October 1667; Thomas, 4 November 1668; and Judith, 5 July 1670.  The second wife died June 1672; and by third wife Sarah Symonds, who died 19 January 1699, he had Joseph, 24 November 1674; Benjamin, 11 August 1676, died at one year; and Moses Hale, 10 July 1678, Harvard College 1699.  This last was first minister of Byfield parish, Newbury.  He married 1704, Elizabeth Dummer, daughter of Richard Dummer.

JOSEPH HALE, Boxford, son of Thomas Hale of the same.  He married Mary Watson, daughter of William Watson.

ROBERT HALE, Charlestown.  He came probably In the fleet with Winthrop 1630, and was of the earliest members of Boston church being number 18, and with his wife Joanna, among those who formed the Charlestown church 14 October 1632, of which he was one of the first two Deacons.  He was freeman 14 May 1634, artillery company 1644, Ensign, and a selectman 11 years.  He died 16 July 1659.  He had, besides John Hale, born 3, baptized 5 June 1636, Harvard College 1657, before mentioned; Mary, 17, baptized 19 May 1639; Zechary, 3 April 1641, who died at two years; Samuel, 9 April 1644; and Joanna.  His widow married Richard Jacob of Ipswich, and she died about 1679.  Joanna married 9 November 1664, John Larkin; and Mary married Edward Wilson.

SAMUEL HALE, Charlestown, son of the preceding, a mariner.  By wife Lydia, had Lydia, baptized 28 October 1677.  He died 1677.

SAMUEL HALE, Hartford 1640, one of the first proprietors at Norwalk 1654, had first been at Wethersfield 1642, and with his brother Thomas Hale, served in the Pequot war 1637, was Representative for Norwalk 1657, 58, and 60.  He went back to Wethersfield, and lived in that part which is now Glastonbury, where several descendants continued.  In his will children named are Samuel, born about 1644; John; Thomas; Ebenezer; Mary; Rebecca; and Dorothy.

SAMUEL HALE, Newbury, son of the first Thomas Hale of the same, was, perhaps, of Dover, 1665.  He married 21 July 1673,  Sarah Ilsley, daughter of William Ilsley.  Coffin tells no more.

SAMUEL HALE, Glastonbury, son of Samuel Hale of Wethersfield.  He married 20 June 1670, Ruth Edwards, daughter of Thomas Edwards of the same, had Ruth, born 20 January 1672, died under 4 months; Samuel, 14 January 1674, died very soon; Mary, 13 June 1675; Samuel, again, 17 July 1677; and Ruth, again, 1 December 1681.  His wife died 26 December 1682.  He married 1695, Mary Welles, daughter of the first Samuel Welles, and he died 18 November 1711.  His widow died 18 February 1715.

THOMAS HALE, Roxbury, brother of Samuel Hale of Hartford, a single man, says the church record, freeman 14 May 1634, removed soon after to Hartford, came back for short time.  He married February 1640, Jane Lord, a servant member of the church of Roxbury, and returned to Connecticut.  Went among first settlers to Norwalk 1654, not long after removed and perhaps closed his days at Charlestown.

THOMAS HALE, Newbury, a glover.  He came in 1635, with wifeThomasin, and son Thomas, born 1633.  He was freeman 7 September 1638.  He had here John, born 3 June 1636; and Samuel, both before mentioned.  He lived some years at Haverhill, where he was selectman in 1659, perhaps at Salem; but went back to Newbury, and he died 21 December 1682, aged 78; and his widow died 30 January 1683.

THOMAS HALE, Saco 1653, then made freeman of Massachusetts.

THOMAS HALE, Charlestown.  He married 14 December 1659, Mary Nash, daughter of William Nash, had John, baptized 23 April 1665.  He was freeman of 1671.  He came from Norwalk, says the church record, and we may think he is the same as Thomas Hale of Roxbury 1634.

THOMAS HALE, Newbury, son of the first Thomas Hale of the same, born in England.  He married 26 May 1657, Mary Hutchinson, daughter of Richard Hutchinson of Salem, had Thomas, born 11 February 1658; Mary, 15 July 1660; Abigail, 9 April 1662; Hannah, 29 November 1663; Lydia, 17 April 1666; Elizabeth, 16 October 1668; Joseph, 20 February 1671; and Samuel, 6 June 1674.  He probably lived at Boxford in latter days.  Hannah married 14 August 1684, William Peabody.

THOMAS HALE, Wethersfield, son probably of Samuel Hale of the same.  He married 30 October 1679, Naomi Kilborne, daughter of the first John Kilborne of the same, had Naomi, born 20 September 1680; Mary, 20 November 1682; Thomas, 26 January 1685; Ruth; Eunice; and Timothy, 1692.

THOMAS HALE, Newbury, son of the second Thomas Hale of the same.  He married 16 May 1682, Sarah Northend, daughter probably of Ezekiel Northend, had Thomas, born 9 March 1683; Edna, 21 November 1684; Mary, 28 April 1687; Ezekiel, 13 May 1689; Nathan, 2 June 1691; Sarah, 9 March 1693; Ebenezer, 21 April 1695; Daniel, 22 February 1697; Hannah, 7 June 1699; and Joshua, 7 March 1701.

THOMAS HALE, Hadley.  He married Priscilla Markham, daughter of William Markham, had Martha, born 1676; Thomas, 1678; John, 1680; Samuel, 1683, died young; Priscilla, 1685; William, 1687; and Joseph, 1691.  He removed to Enfield, there had Samuel, again; and he died about 1725.

TIMOTHY HALE, Windsor.  He married 1663, Sarah Barber, daughter of Thomas Barber, had Sarah, born 1665; Timothy, 1667; John, 1670; Thomas, 1672; Samuel, 1674; Vine, a daughter 1675 who died young; and Josiah, 1678.  He removed to Suffield, had Joanna, 14 September 1680, who died 26 July 1689.  Of the sons, which all, as well as their father wrote the name Hale (though at Windsor it always terminated in various records with double l, and yet at Suffield and in record of County Hampshire ends with e; while, perhaps, some exchange of families may appear among other families). Thomas lived at Springfield; Josiah at Brookfield; Timothy, and Samuel, at Suffield; and John, died at Windsor, unmarried.

WILLIAM HALE, Billerica, died 20 May 1668, leaving widow Ann.  Of this name 16 had been, in 1834, graduates at Harvard 8 at Yale, 3 at Dartmouth College, and 11 at the other New England Colleges.

 

JOHN HALEY, Hadley.  He married 1681, Ruth Crow, widow of William Gaylord, daughter of John Crow, had no children by her or by second wife Hannah Bliss, daughter of Samuel Bliss.  He died 1688.  His widow married 1689, Simeon Smith of Hadley.

THOMAS HALEY, Wells, or Saco, before 1650.  He married a daughter of John West, had Ann, Lydia, Samuel, and Thomas.  This last was a Sergeant of the garrison at Saco, killed by the Indians August 1695.  Folsom, 125, says descendants are numerous.  See Pike's Journals and Niles, History

WILLIAM HALEY, Reading, an early settler perhaps.  He had daughter Lydia to marry 19 April 1669, Peter Cheever of Salem.

 

THOMAS HALFORD, a passenger in the Christian from London, 1635, aged 20, of which I know no more.

 

ANDREW HALL, Boston, mariner.  He married 1677, Ann Ratchell, daughter of Robert Ratchell.

ANDREW HALL, Newton 1691.

BENJAMIN HALL, Dover 1659.  He was perhaps, a Quaker, who removed to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and married 27 July 1676, Frances Parker, daughter of George Parker, had Mary, born 3 April 1678; William, 19 August 1680; Benjamin, 17 June 1682; George, 29 June 1685; and Nathaniel, 29 June 1689.

BENJAMIN HALL, Yarmouth, son of John Hall the  first of the same.  He married 7 February 1678, Mehitable Matthews, perhaps daughter of James Matthews; and he died at Harwich.

BENJAMIN HALL, Wrentham.  He married 9 January 1692, Sarah Fisher, had Sarah, born 20 February 1697, died 6 May following; Jeremiah and Benjamin, twins 8 May 1703; Preserved, 28 November 1706; Sarah, again, 15 March 1709; besides probably Edward, and Josiah.  He died 25 August 1726.  His widow died 2 November 1756. 

CHRISTOPHER HALL, Groton.  By wife Sarah had Grace, born 25 November 1672; and John, 9 April 1681.

DANIEL HALL, New Haven, merchant.  He married 16 November 1670, Mary Rutherford, daughter of Henry Rutherford, had Daniel, born 9 August 1672, died in few months; Daniel, again, 4 January 1674; and Rotherford, 21 April 1675.  He died at Barbados, 1675.  His widow married 23 August 1681 John Prout.

EDWARD HALL, Cambridge 1636, freeman 2 May 1638.  He had wife Margaret who outlived him, but no children.  In his will of 20 January 1678, he calls himself 70 years old.  Matchless Mitchell's church register gives this couple no children, and his next wife is, widow Mary Hall whose children were all adults, when she joined; and he adds, two of them, John and Susanna are since joined to the church of Concord.

EDWARD HALL, Duxbury 1636, or 37.  He was of Taunton, in 1641, says Winsor, but back again and died next year, 1642.  He had property at the settlement of Bridgewater in 1643; and withdrew from the jurisdiction in 1652, but probably was of Rehoboth.  He made his will 23 November 1670, naming wife Esther and son John.

EDWARD HALL, Braintree 1640.  By wife Esther, had John, born 23 January 1651, and Esther, 23 October 1654.  He may have been of Rehoboth in 1658.  There his daughter Esther married 24 December 1674, Thomas Jordan.

HENRY HALL, Boston, a soldier in Captain James Oliver's company killed by the Indians in the great swamp fight, 19 December 1675.

HENRY HALL, Westerly, probably son of the first Henry Hall.  In his will of 1 November 1716, names wife Constant; children Henry, James, John, Edward, William, Elisha, Susanna, Elizabeth, Button, Charity Cotrell, Lydia, Mary, and Martha.

ISAAC HALL, Fairfield, a surgeon, son of Francis Hall, perhaps born in England for he took oath of fidelity at New Haven, 7 April 1657.  He died 1714, leaving wife Lydia, children Francis, John, and probably others.

JAMES HALL, New London 1662, then was tenant of John Winthrop on Fisher's Island perhaps in 1669, lived at Westerly.  He may have been son of Henry Hall senior, who married Sarah Babcock, daughter of Job Babcock, had Sarah, born 25 December 1693; Jane, 29 August 1695; Honor, 14 August 1697; Elijah, 23 August 1699; James, 17 September 1701; Joseph, 8 July 1703; Mary, 10 November 1705; Benjamin, 19 November 1707; Amie, 26 September 1709; and Jonathan, 18 November 1711.

JOHN HALL, Roxbury, who in the church record has prefix of respect, I presume, was the freeman of 6 May 1635, unless he may rather be reckoned of 13 May 1640; but as no further mention of him occurs here, perhaps he removed with the great migration to Connecticut and was at Hartford 1644.  He married in Hartford as second wife Ann Wilcox, daughter of John Wilcox, and at Middletown 1654, where he died 26 May 1673, aged 89.  His will of few days before mentions sons Richard, John, and Samuel, daughter Sarah, wife of Thomas Whitmore.  He married 11 December 1645, and died 7 December 1661.  He says it was the 40th year of living in New England.

JOHN HALL, Lynn, perhaps as early as Mr. Lewis would have him, or 1630, possibly the freeman of 13 May 1640, and may have been a short time at Salem 1637, became one of the first proprietors 1640, of Salisbury, having prefix of respect.  He married 3 April 1641, Rebecca Byley, daughter of Henry Byley, had John, born 18 March 1642.  He died before 22 August 1650, when his widow married Reverend William Worcester.

Late in life the Admiral, by permission of his sovereign, took the name of Carew, as by a lady of that name required in her will devised most of her property to him.  They had been mutually attached in youth, but she had married a gentleman to who descended an estate held by Carew family from the time of Queen Elizabeth.  After, Hallowell married a daughter of admiral Inglefield, and had several children.

WILLIAM HALSALL, WILLIAM HANSELL, or WILLIAM HALSEY, Boston 1654.  By wife Sarah, had Asa, born 1 January 1655; Joseph, 29 May 1657; lived at Pulling point, may have removed to New London.  A frequent spelling is Halsey.

 

HENRY HALSTEED, Concord 1645.

NATHANIEL HALSTEED, Dedham, freeman 2 June 1641.  He died 3 February 1644; and may seem the same as the preceding.

WILLIAM HALSTEED, Concord.  He died 27 July 1645, says Farmer; but an error of a year occurs in Genealogical Registrar III. 177, gives date of his will, 13 June 1646, while in three following attestations of witnesses, each proves that it was the former, and the inventory was taken in December 1646.  He was unmarried probably for his bequests are to sister Edna, her child or children, and to brother Henry, who also was unmarried.  Susanna Halsteed an aged woman, died at Watertown 5 July 1669, who, in her will of 11 January 1668, names sister Grace, wife of Michael Barstow, with whom the testator lived to who has also to Sarah, wife of Joseph Child, and to Deborah, and Sarah Barstow, probably daughters of William Barstow she made bequests.

HAMBLETON. See Hamilton.

 

JOHN HAMDEN, Plymouth 1622, "a gentleman of London," says Winslow, "who wintered with us, and desired much to see the country went home 1623.  Belknap in American Biographical II. 229, supposed he might be the immortal patriot of Buckinghamshire and Baylies, I. 110, and others less instructed, have often assumed the certainty of the conjecture; but in the whole compass of possibilities no position seems weaker, than that the illustrious John Hampden, who resisted the king's unlawful demand of ship money, and consecrated his cause by early death in arms, was ever in our country, much more, that he was absent from home, twelve or fourteen months, as is necessarily implied in his coming in 1622 and going in 1623, when in the two years only three ships sailed from our Plymouth.  See Young, Chronicles of Pilgrims 314.  Governor Bradford in his minute History would surely have noted such agreeable incidents.

 

MARK HAMES, Boston 1655.  Perhaps it is the same as Haimes, and he may have been of New Haven 1641.

LAWRENCE HAMMOND, or, as often written LAWRENCE HAMMONS, Charlestown, artillery company 1666, freeman 1666.  He married 30 September 1662, Audrey Eaton (who came, he says, the year before from London), had Francis, born 19 August 1663.  His wife died 8 days after (27 August 1663).  He next married 12 May 1665, Abigail Collins, widow of John Willet, youngest daughter of Deacon Edward Collins of Medford, had Martha, born 6 April 1666, died at 2 months; Abigail, 27 April 1667; John, 1 May 1669, died at 4 months; Jane, 10 August 1670, died young; and Elizabeth, 13 July 1672.  His wife died 1 February 1674.  He married 8 February 1675, Margaret Willoughby, daughter of Deputy Governor Willoughby, who bore him no children, and she died he says, 2 February 1683.  Fourth wife Ann Gerrish, was daughter of William Gerrish, married 14 January 1685, and had Lawrence, 23 November 1685 who died under 5 years, and Francis, again, 13 September 1689, and died the day after his brother, so that the father writes in his Diary, "all my three sons died within one year" for his oldest child was killed 24 November 1688, by fall on board his ship just come to anchor in the outer harbor.  He was Captain, Representative 1672, and five years more removed to Boston, and he died 25 July 1699.  Abigail married 30 January 1690, Luke Greenough, and next, 25 February 1692, James Whippo of Barnstable.

NATHANIEL HAMMOND, or, as often written NATHANIEL HAMMONS, Cambridge village now Newton, son of Thomas Hammond the first.  He had by wife Mary, whose surname is not found, Nathaniel, baptized 19 February 1671, at Roxbury, probably died soon; Mary, born 15 December 1672; Sarah, 3 October 1675; Nathaniel, again, 26 January 1678; Esther; Elizabeth, 11 March 1683; Thomas, 27 February 1686; and Hannah, 31 March 1689, who died at 11 years.  He was freeman 1690.  He died 29 May 1691.  An idle tradition gives him fifteen children without any more names, or telling how many of all the other eight were born before he was 27 years old. 

RICHARD HAMMOND, or, as often written RICHARD HAMMONS, Kennebeck 1665.  He was killed by the Indians 1676, at the same time with Captain Thomas Lake, when all his family of sixteen were either killed or carried into captivity.  Elizabeth, his widow married John Rowden of Salem. 

SAMUEL HAMMOND, or, as often written SAMUEL HAMMONS, Rochester, perhaps son of Benjamin Hammond.  By wife Mary had, if one will accept the preposterous record, Benjamin, born 18 December 1682; Seth, 13 February 1683; Rosimund, 8 May 1684; Samuel, 8 March 1685; Thomas, 16 September 1687; Jedediah, 19 September 1690; Josiah, 15 September 1692; Barnabas, 30 January 1695; Maria, 27 January 1698; John, 4 October 1701; and Jedediah, again, 30 September 1703; as Mr. Hamblen prints in Genealogical Registrar V. 85, where one, if not two, of the first four, we see, is manifestly wrong. 

THOMAS HAMMOND, or, as often written THOMAS HAMMONS, Hingham 1636, younger brother of the first William Hammond, born at Lavenham, County Suffolk, where, it is said, he was baptized 9 January 1587, perhaps several years before he was born.  He was freeman 9 March 1637.  By wife Elizabeth married probably in England, 12 November 1623, who died before him, brought children Elizabeth and Thomas, had Sarah, baptized 13 September 1640, and Nathaniel, 12 March 1643.  He removed to Watertown, thence across the river 1650, to Cambridge village purchasing large farm with Vincent Druce.  He died 30 September 1675, aged 88 years.  His will names all these children Elizabeth, who married 17 August 1659, George Woodward, Thomas, and Nathaniel, all then married; and Sarah, probably wife of Nathaniel Stedman, as deceased, but her children Sarah and Elizabeth to be heirs.  He had very good estate.

THOMAS HAMMOND, or, as often written THOMAS HAMMONS, Watertown, son of William Hammond, born in England.  By wife Hannah Cross, daughter of John Cross, had only child posthumous Thomas, born 11 July 1656.  He died 10 December 1655.  His will of 21 November 1655 speaks of his estate in Lavenham, Suffolk.  The widow died 24 March 1657, and her will was probated 8 April 1657. 

THOMAS HAMMOND, or, as often written THOMAS HAMMONS, Newton, son of the first Thomas Hammond.  He married 17 December 1662, Elizabeth Stedman, daughter of Isaac Stedman, had Elizabeth, born 3 November 1664; Thomas, 16 December 1666; Isaac, 20 December 1668; Nathaniel, 3 February 1671; John, 30 April 1674; and Eleazur, 13 November 1677.  He died of smallpox, 20 October following.  His widow died 1715.

THOMAS HAMMOND, or, as often written THOMAS HAMMONS, Watertown, posthumous son of Thomas Hammond, the son of William Hammond, had, I think, been impressed for service in the war of 1676, on an expedition and fined £4 for not going, as appears in his petition in which he declares, he had done much.  He married 21 August 1678, Elizabeth Noyes, who died 4 April 1679.  He married 6 December 1679, Sarah Pickard, had Hannah, born 15 November 1680, who died at 11 years; Sarah, 20 January 1683; Thomas, 17 November 1685; Elizabeth, 12 May 1688; David, baptized 23 November 1690; Nathaniel, 25 July 1697; and Jonathan, baptized on same day.  He was freeman 1690, and progenitor of all the Hammonds of Watertown and Waltham, it is said. 

WILLIAM HAMMOND, or, as often written WILLIAM HAMMONS, of Massachusetts was killed by the Indians in Pequot war.  3 Massachusetts History Collections III. 130, 157.  Scrupulous inquiry will probably lead to belief, that an error of nearly 40 years is here seen, and that the sufferer was one of the very first victims of Philip's war. 

WILLIAM HAMMOND, or, as often written WILLIAM HAMMONS, Watertown, perhaps as early as 1632.  He was freeman 25 May 1636, and had good estate.  He died 8 October 1662, aged, says the record about 94.  But the Register in England of his baptism 30 October 1575, when he could be very few days old, for his father Thomas married Rose Trippe on 14 May 1573, and the first child Elizabeth was baptized 1 April 1574, proves that he was about 87.  He married 9 June 1605, Elizabeth Payne, sister of William Payne, had William, baptized 20 September 1607; Ann, 19 November 1609, died soon; John, 5 December 1611; Ann, again, 14 July 1616; and Thomas, 17 September 1618.  His will of 1 July 1662, names wife Elizabeth, son John, grandson Thomas, son of deceased Thomas, daughter Elizabeth, wife of Samuel House of Cambridge, and her four children, daughter Barnes, and daughter Sarah Smith with her son Adam.  The wife had come in the Francis from Ipswich, 1634, aged 47, with children Elizabeth, 15; Sarah, 10; and John, 7; and she died 1669, or one account has it, 14 September 1670, in 90th year.  Six or seven years of exaggeration may here be allowed for, knowing that the age of her husband was equally extended beyond the truth. 

WILLIAM HAMMOND, or, as often written WILLIAM HAMMONS, Lynn, is by Lewis named of 1636, and died next year.

WILLIAM HAMMOND, or, as often written WILLIAM HAMMONS, Wells 1656, or earlier, a man of consequence, grand juror, next year clerk of the writs, and commissioner for small causes until 1679.  He had Jonathan and Joseph, perhaps other children but those outlived him.  He died 1702, as his grandson  Joseph wrote, in a letter of 24 March 1733, says, also, that he told him he was born 1597.  See Genealogical Registrar IX. 312.  The writer's father Joseph, was born 1647, being the younger, and he was born 1677, so that he could hardly mistake the year of the old man's death when he calls him 105 years old.  Whether equal confidence should be yielded to the date of his birth depends on the ages of the relatives and the hearer.  If the one were too young to note such matters with precision, or the other too aged to possess exact recollection some deductions perhaps of ten years may be justified.  However the probability is far greater of the extreme age, than the story given by Colonel Whipple in Genealogical Registrar V. 246, embarrassed with double absurdity, making the venerable Hammond to be of Monmouth's party, 1685, when he was 88 years old, if the grandson report be correct, and he had been 30 years at our east settlement, as also in making his brother-in-law Nicholas Frost of the royal party in opposition to the Duke of Monmouth, whereas Frost was in his grave at Kittery twenty-two years before the illegitimate slip rebelled against his precious uncle.  Such is the jack-a-lantern made of chronology preserved my venerable traditions.

WILLIAM HAMMOND, or, as often written WILLIAM HAMMONS, who was killed by the Indians 27 June  1675, the fourth day of Philip's war.  He may have been of Rehoboth, for there one William had Elizabeth born 24 September 1661.  But this man was of the troop of Captain Prentiss, which must, we suppose, have chiefly been composed of volunteers of Cambridge and the neighboring town of Dedham.

 

THOMAS HAMPTON, Sandwich, died early.  By his will, of March 1638, named only his minister Leverich, and some neighbors.  It may seem that he had no wife or children.

 

THOMAS HAMUCK, Dover, was there taxed 1666 to 1672, says Mr. Quint, but he tells no more.

 

DANIEL HANBURY, came from London 1635, in the Planter, aged 29,  but we know no more.

LUKE HANBURY, Massachusetts 1637.  Felt.

PETER HANBURY, Sandwich 1643.

WILLIAM HANBURY, Duxbury 1639.  He married 1641, Hannah Souther.  He was of Plymouth 1643, but removed to Boston 1649, here had William, born 5, baptized 11 February 1649, and he probably died February 1650, for inventory of very good estate of his was taken 21 February 1650.  He had three children before Hannah Hanbury married 24 October 1656, Francis Johnson, who I presume to be the Salem.  Early settler at Plymouth.  He had the prefix of respect.  Sometimes it is written Henbury.

 

ANTHONY HANCOCK, Wrentham, had been servant of William Sumner of Dorchester, mentioned in his will of 1681.  By wife Sarah, who died 17 November 1700, had probably Henry; Anthony, born 26 February 1685.  Perhaps by wife Ruth, had Mary, 19 December 1701; William, 1 March 1703; Hannah, 3 July 1706; and Silence, 16 June 1709.

JOHN HANCOCK, New Haven 1679, a proprietor in 1685, who is not known to have had issue.  He died 10 March 1712.  He may have been the man to whom 1663, grant of five hundred acres in Carolina was made by the patentees for discovery there.

NATHANIEL HANCOCK, Cambridge.  By wife Joan, had Mary, born 3 November 1634; Sarah, 3 March 1636;  Nathaniel, 18 December 1638; John, who died 2 April 1643, probably not 2 years old; Elizabeth, 1 March 1645; and Lydia, 5 April or 2 July 1646.  He died says Farmer, before 1652.  Elizabeth married 2 February 1665, Mark Wood.

NATHANIEL HANCOCK, Cambridge, son of the preceding.  He married 8 March 1664, Mary Prentice, daughter of Henry Prentice, had Nathaniel, born 28  February baptized 28 May 1665, died 20 July following; Mary, 6, baptized 11 May 1666; Sarah, 23 August baptized 15 September 1667; Nathaniel, again, born 29 October 1668; Abigail, 20 December 1669, died soon; John Hancock, 1671, Harvard College 1689; Samuel, 2 January 1674; Abigail, again, 23 August 1675; Elizabeth, 26 August 1677; Ebenezer, 10 March 1681; Joseph, 28 April 1683; Thomas, 1685; and Solomon, died 16 May 1710.  He was freeman 1668, and died 12 April 1719.  He had, also, Ann and Abigail, born and died 1672.  John Hancock was first minister of Lexington, ordained 2 November 1698, but had first preached at Wells and York, and was father of Thomas Hancock, the most wealthy merchant of Boston, founder of the Professorship of Oriental languages at the University, as well as of Reverend John Hancock, Harvard College 1719, minister of Braintree, and of Reverend Ebenezer Hancock, Harvard College 1728, colleague with his father.  This last John Hancock was father of John Hancock, born 12 January 1737, Harvard College 1754, resident of that Congregation which declared independence, 4 July 1776; at which time he was Treasurer of Harvard College.  In the History of that Institution by President Quincy, his character may be seen, as weighed in a just balance.  He died Governor of Massachusetts 1793.

THOMAS HANCOCK, Hadley 1678, removed soon.  Nine of this name have been graduates at Harvard.

 

THOMAS HANCOX, Farmington 1670, then aged about 25 years.  He married 17 March 1685, Rachel Leonard, daughter of John Leonard of Springfield, had Thomas, born 13 March 1686; John, 1 August 1688; William, 1 March 1691; Abel; Rachel, 7 February 1693; Daniel, 1 January 1695; Jonathan; and Mehitable.  The records are uncertain as he removed to Hartford, was there keeper of the gaol, 1691, and the names are found at each town, but without uniformity.

 

JOHN HAND, Easthampton, Long Island 1648.  Wood, 40.  Perhaps he is the same who was a proprietor at Guilford, 1685.

JOSEPH HAND, one of the first settlers at Killingworth 1663.  Perhaps he married Jane Wright, daughter of Benjamin Wright.  Another Joseph Hand of Guilford married Hannah Seward, daughter of William Seward.

 

BENJAMIN HANDEN, Providence 1645, or 6. See Herendean.

 

NATHANIEL HANDFORTH, Lynn 1637.  He came from London.  He died September aged 78.  Lewis, 90.

 

BENJAMIN HANDS, Middletown.  He married 14 June 1688, Sarah Ward, daughter of William Ward, had Ann, born 13 January 1690; Sarah, 29 July 1697; Phebe, 14 July 1702; Benjamin, 4 October 1706; and Ann.  He died 8 January 1740.  His widow died 27 April 1744. 

MARK HANDS, Boston 1645, nailer.  He came, I think, in the Jonathan, 1639, aged 20.  By wife Abra, had Mary, born 15 February 1646, who died soon.  By wife Mary, had Mehitable, born 21 October 1652; John, 10 September 1654.  He went on a long voyage, 1661, and in his will of 15 July 1661 gives daughter  Mehitable, as desired by his deceased wife one third of his own estate and two thirds to son John, but if both the children died then to his kinsmen Joseph Dell, he paying his mother Hannaford, etc.  The will was probated 17 June 1664; and I suppose he died abroad.

 

THOMAS HANFORD, or THOMAS HANDFORD, Norwalk.  He came, not with his mother Eglin Hanford who married Friday 15 December 1637, Deacon Richard Sealis of Scituate, Volume II., sister of venerable Timothy Hatherly, the founder of Scituate.  She came in 1634, aged 46, with two daughters Lettice, who married 8 April 1635, Edward Foster, and Margaret, who married 1636, Isaac Robinson (and so is probably the  progenitor of all descendant of blessed John), perhaps leaving him at school.  However, he had come over in 1643, and was at Scituate with his mother in that year.  He was witness of the will of his brother-in-law Edward Foster.  In 1650 he was administered freeman of Massachusetts but it is not known of what church he was member nor where he resided yet earlier.  He had taught the school at Roxbury, probably engaged in preaching but in 1652 he was fixed at Norwalk.  He married Hannah Newbury, daughter of Thomas Newbury of Dorchester.  By her no issue is heard of, and his second wife Mary Ince, daughter of Jonathan Ince, the New Haven scholar, married 22 October 1661, brought him Theophilus, 29 July 1662; Mary, 30 November 1663; Hannah, 28 June 1665; Elizabeth, 9 January 1667; Thomas, 18 July 1668;  Eleazur, 15 September 1670; Elnathan, 11 October 1672; and Samuel, whose date Hall did not find, and possibly mistook the name for Sarah.  He died 1693, probably late in the year, but his widow lived to 12 September 1730, aged 100, unless this be much exaggerated as no doubt it is in some observable degree.  It is sad to observe the failure of records and notice of their first minister and his church.  We know not of most of them the time of death or whether married or not, yet grandchildren were very numerous and still the name is perpetuated.  Of Eliezur, the marriage of his daughter Sarah, is found, but not marriage of the father; and so of Thomas we know he had daughter Catharine, as her marriage is read, though her father is not.  Two of the daughters were provided for.  Hannah married 26 January 1704, Joseph Platt, as his second wife; and Sarah married 27 December 1705, Samuel Comstock.

THOMAS HANFORD, or THOMAS HANDFORD, Norwalk, son of the preceding.  He died 7 June 1743, and his widow Hannah died 28 December 1745, in her 70th year say the gravestones.

 

RICHARD HANKFORD, or RICHARD HANCFORD, Plymouth.  He died 14 September 1633, probably unmarried.

 

ISAAC HANMER, or ISAAC HANMORE, Scituate, son of John Hanmer.  He had Benjamin.

JOHN HANMER, or JOHN HANMORE, Scituate 1639, next year at Duxbury, but only short time, and of Marshfield 1663.  He had sons John, Joseph, and Isaac, daughters Rebecca, Bethia, and Hannah.  He was living 1673; but for a century the name has failed here.  Rebecca married September 1657, Daniel Hicks, yet the Colony Record certifies that he married 19 September 1657, Elizabeth Hanmore.

 

ROGER HANNADOWN, Weymouth, ship carpenter, removed to Boston.  By wife Sarah, had Lydia, baptized 23 April 1643, about 6 days old.

 

ROBERT HANNAH, Wickford, or some part of the Narraganset country.  He married before 1690, Mary Wilson, daughter of Samuel Wilson, had Robert and Mary.  His widow married 1708, George Webb.

 

JOHN HANNIFORD, or JOHN HANNIFALL, Boston, mariner.  By wife Hannah, who joined our church 11 April 1647, had Samuel, born 1 May 1645; Joseph, 1652; John, 29 January 1653, died next month; besides daughter Hannah, who became I think, wife of Mark Hands.  He married 8 November 1655, Abigail Dell, daughter of George Dell, had Sarah, born 8 August 1656; and Abigail, 8 March 1660.  He died before 5 February 1661, when his will of 26 December 1657 was brought in for probation.  See Genealogical Registrar XIII. 149. 

RICHARD HANNIFORD, or RICHARD HANNIFALL, Marblehead 1671, printed in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 288, as probably it was sounded.  Haniver, and VII. 70, Hannier.

 

JOHN HANNUM, Northampton, only son of William Hannum.  He married 20 November 1662, Sarah Weller, daughter of Richard Weller, had Abigail, born 16 August 1664; Hannah, 12 October 1667; Sarah, 4 October 1669, died young; Sarah, again, 9 December 1671; Mindwell and Experience, twins March 1673, both died young.  The wife died 30 March 1673.  He married 20 April 1675, Esther Langton, daughter of George Langton, had John, born 1676; Eleazur, 1678; Ruth, 1680; a daughter 1683, died soon; Esther, 1685, died soon; Esther, again, 1687, died soon; Joanna, 1688; William, 1690; and Samuel, 1692.  He died 19 February 1712, aged 76. 

WILLIAM HANNUM, Dorchester, an early settler removed to Windsor, but not with the first migration for his son John, was born before he went to Windsor who may seem, therefore, to have been as late as 1639.  There had baptized Abigail, 22 November 1640; Joanna, 21 July 1642; Elizabeth, born 24 April 1645; and Mary, 5 April 1650; but probably Joanna died young.  He removed again about 1655 to Northampton, there died 1 June 1677.  His will of 15 May 1677 gives only son John most of his property and some to each of three daughters: Abigail, wife of John Sacket; Mary, wife of John Allen; and Elizabeth, who married Peter Bushrod.  His widow Honor, who is called sister in her will, by Dorothy Upshall, daughter of Nicholas, died 1680 at Westfield.

 

JAMES HANSCOM, JAMES HUNSCOM, or JAMES HANSCOMBE, of Essex County 1666, may have been son of the following.

THOMAS HANSCOM, THOMAS HUNSCOM, or THOMAS HANSCOMBE, Salem.  He came with Higginson, 1629.

 

JOHN HANSE, or JOHN HAUNCE, Dover 1656, still there 1665.

 

JOHN HANSETT, JOHN HANDSETT, JOHN HANCHET, JOHN HANSHUT, or JOHN HANSHET, Boston, called on administered 13 July 1634, of the church "servant of our pastor John Wilson," freeman 17 May 1637, removed to Braintree.  He had John, born 15 July 1641.  His wife died and he soon removed to Roxbury.  He married 2 April 1644, Elizabeth Perry, had Thomas, baptized 19 October 1645; Hannah, 28 March 1647, died next year; Hannah, again, 14 October 1649, died within 3 weeks; and Peter, 6 July 1651.  His son John was buried 2 April 1654; and daughter Elizabeth, whose birth is not found, was buried 9 June 1668; and, under 23 February 1684, the church record has "old John Hanshett buried" in Apostle Eliot's trembling hand.

JOHN HANSETT, JOHN HANDSETT, JOHN HANCHET, JOHN HANSHUT, or JOHN HANSHET, Westfield, son of Thomas Hansett.  He married 6 September 1677, Esther Pritchet, had Esther, born 1 August 1678; and John, 16 November 1679, there.  He removed to Suffield, was freeman 1680, and had Samuel, Hannah, Bathsheba, Mehitable, and Ebenezer, was Deacon, and died 1744, very old.

PETER HANSETT, PETER HANDSETT, PETER HANCHET, PETER HANSHUT, or PETER HANSHET, Dedham, probably youngest son of John Hansett the first, was freeman 1684.  He removed to Roxbury, there by wife Mary Parker, daughter of John Parker the first, had Mary, born 13 March 1687; Huldah, 31 March 1689; Sarah 6 October 1691; and Elizabeth, 3 April 1694.

THOMAS HANSETT, THOMAS HANDSETT, THOMAS HANCHET, THOMAS HANSHUT, or THOMAS HANSHET, Wethersfield, perhaps brother of the first John Hansett.  He had John, born there 1 September 1649.  He removed to New London 1651, but continued there only three years and after intermediate residence was at Northampton about 1660, was Deacon 1668, removed to Westfield, thence to Suffield, where he died 11 June 1686.  His wife was Deliverance Langton, daughter of George Langton.  She married 14 December next, Jonathan Burt.  Other children were Thomas; Deliverance, who married Nathaniel Weller; and Hannah, who married Samuel Loomis.

THOMAS HANSETT, THOMAS HANDSETT, THOMAS HANCHET, THOMAS HANSHUT, or THOMAS HANSHET, Westfield, son of the preceding.  He married 1673, Elizabeth Loomis, had Elizabeth, born 11 February 1679.  He removed to Suffield, there had Thomas, 1681; and Mary, 1683.  He removed back to Westfield, had Hannah, 1685, died soon; Hannah, again, 25 January 1687; Sarah, 22 November 1689; Samuel, 14 April 1692; and Deliverance, 1695.  He, or one of the name, died at Roxbury, 6 May 1719.  His will, of 1717, probated 1719, names not Elizabeth the daughter who was probably daughter Swelling, the variety of forms, in which this surname appears, Jackson in History of Newton, 407, by split. The first letter, spells it Stanchett.

 

ISAAC HANSON, probably of Portsmouth.  By wife Mary, had Mary, born 18 May 1679, who married 9 June 1698, James Libbey.

THOMAS HANSON, Dover 1657, freeman 5 June 1661.  He probably died 1666, as his will was probated 27 June 1666.  His widow was killed by the Indians.  His children were Tobias, Thomas, born about 1643; Isaac; Timothy; and two daughters.

THOMAS HANSON, Dover, son of the preceding.  He married 3 June 1669, at Salem, widow Mary Robinson, had Mary, born 3 December 1670; Thomas, born about 1680; John; Nathaniel; Mercy; Elizabeth; James; and Abigail.  His will, of 4 April 1710, names wife Mary, and all the children except John.

TOBIAS HANSON, Dover 1686, brother of the preceding, whose wife was taken by the Indians at the assault on Waldron's garrison house 28 June 1689, when his mother was killed.  He was killed by the same enemy, 10 May 1693.  He had Tobias, Joseph, and Benjamin.

 

AMBROSE HANWELL, Pemaquid, took oath of fidelity to Massachusetts 1671.

 

NATHANIEL HAPGOOD, Stow, son of Sydrach Hapgood.  He married 14 August 1695, Elizabeth Ward, daughter of Samuel Ward; but the date is 6 September 1695 in the Ward family Genealogy.

SYDRACH HAPGOOD, or SHADRACH HAPGOOD, Sudbury, was, I presume, that passenger from London, in the Speedwell, at Boston, July 1656, aged 14, though in Genealogical Registrar I. 132, called  Hopgood.  In September 1657 he is called kinsman by the first Peter Haynes in his will, who perhaps three years before had sent his son Thomas to bring him.  He married 21 October 1664, Elizabeth Treadway, daughter of Nathaniel Treadway, had Nathaniel, and Thomas, the last born 1 February 1669; besides Mary, who married 10 April 1688, John Whitney, and (as I suppose), Sarah, who married Jonathan Whitney.  In Philip's war, he was killed 2 August 1675, at Brookfield, as told by his Captain Wheeler, who gives the name exactly as it still prevails in some part of the country, though in the letter of Reverend John Russell in the Colony Record printed by Coffin, 389, it is Harkwood.  His widow married says Bond, a Hayward.

THOMAS HAPGOOD, Marlborough, son of the preceding.  By wife Judith, who died 15 August 1759, had Mary, born 1694; Sarah, 1695; Judith, early in 1698; Elizabeth, 4 October 1699; Thomas, 1702; Hepzibah, 1704; John, 1707; Huldah, 10 February 1709; and Joseph, 1714; and another child not named.  He died 4 October 1763, having had, it is said, 92 grandchildren, 208 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren.

JOHN HARRISON, Wethersfield, merchant, freeman of Connecticut 1657.  He died 3 August 1666, leaving large estate, and three daughters Rebecca, Mary, and Sarah.  His widow Catharine, of unpleasant temper, was indicted as a witch, and found guilty.  But the Court had more sense than the jury, set aside the verdict, and advised the prisoner to remove out of the reach of her timid or malignant neighbor.

MARK HARRISON, signed a memorandum to the General Court of Massachusetts 1654, which may be seen in Hutchinson Collection 255.

NICHOLAS HARRISON, Dover 1675-1707.

ISAAC HART, Watertown, came 1637, as servant to Richard Carver.  He embarked at Yarmouth, was from Scratby, a parish, next North of Great Ormsby, in that vicinity, but Mr. Drake in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 326, makes it Scratley, aged 22; Lynn 1640.  He removed to Reading 1647.  He had Elizabeth, born 11 December 1651; Samuel, 19 February 1657; and his daughter Rebecca died 1 June 1670.  His daughter Elizabeth married 11 December 1667, John Winborne at Malden.

THOMAS HART, Lynn 1692.  He was petitioner for relief to his mother long confined in Boston gaol on charge of witchcraft, his father being too old to help.  See the document in History Collections of the Essex Institute I. 58.

 

WILLIAM HARTFORD, a soldier at Northampton, April 1676, in Turner's company from Boston or Charlestown.  Drake's index changes the name to Hartley.

BENJAMIN HARTSHORN, Reading, freeman 1691, was probably son of Thomas Hartshorn.  He died says the gravestone 3 May 1694.

THOMAS HARTSHORN, Haverhill, perhaps son of the preceding, took oath of fidelity 28 November 1677.

TIMOTHY HARTSHORN, Reading, freeman 1691, was perhaps son of the preceding.

JOHN HARVARD Charlestown, born near London, probably for on his entry at the University he is called of Middlesex, educated at Emanuel, where he was administered 1628, and matriculated with the rank of pensioner, 7 July 1631.  His A.B. was of 1631-32, and A.M. 1635.  He came here in 1637, and on first Sunday in August 1637 united with the church, and was freeman 2 November 1637.  He died 14 September of next.  Half his estate £779.17. 2, he left to the College which perpetuated his ever honored name.  His wife Ann is thought to have been daughter of Mr. Sadler of Patcham in Sussex, probably had by him no children and she married I believe, in 1639, Thomas Allen, who, 9 June 1639, was dismissed from Boston church to the church of Charlestown "on their and his desire," and next year became colleague with Reverend Zechary Symmes, until he went home to his native city of Norwich, about 1650.

 

EDMUND HARVEY, Milford 1639, a merchant.  He brought two daughters, one 9 years the other 4, and perhaps a wife, but probably was a widower.  He married about 1640, Martha, had Josiah, baptized 27 December 1640; and Hannah, born 1646.  He removed to Fairfield, it may be, some years before was Representative 1647, and he died 22 May 1648, leaving a daughter, then in England aged 22; two more, aged 18, and 14 years, all by former wife but none of these three daughters are named.  His widow married Nathan Gould.  Trumbull, in the Index to his invaluable Colony Record has given the baptized name Edward, but this is wrong; in his text it conforms to the record in abbreviated form, Ed. Lambert has the same error; and Chapin, 44, adds to it by claiming him for Wethersfield.

GEORGE HARVEY, Gloucester, son of Peter Harvey, at Salem.  By wife Sarah, had Sarah, Nehemiah, Rose, and perhaps George.  At Gloucester had Benjamin, born 1697.  His son

GEORGE HARVEY at Gloucester married 1713, Sarah Butman, who died 20 November 1718.  He married 1720, Patience York, and he died 24 November 1724, aged 37, leaving son Nehemiah.

JOHN HARVEY, Lyme, or New London, 1682.  He died 1705, had only children John and Elizabeth.  Probably he was first of Newbury, and a soldier in the great Narraganset fight, of Major Appleton's company 19 December 1675, in which he was wounded but not disabled, if he be the same who took oath of fidelity at Amesbury 20 December 1677.

JOSEPH HARVEY, from Earlscolne in Essex.  He died on his passage, and spoke of brother John Harvey of Wethersfield in old England for his nuncupative will is in Genealogical Registrar II. 181.

MATTHIAS HARVEY, Hempstead, Long Island.  He had removed there, I suppose, after marrying about 1655, Mary Cole, daughter of Robert Cole.

II. 214.  He married January 1670, Hannah Gilbert, had Peter, born 10 February 1671; David, 20 September 1672; Hannah, 1 July 1674; John, 14 April 1676; Mary, 25 March 1678; and Sarah, 15 April 1680.  See Essex Inst II. 152. 

RICHARD HARVEY, a tailor.  He came from London in the Planter, 1635, aged 22, with Ann, perhaps his wife 22, but it is not known what became of them.  He may be the following.

RICHARD HARVEY, Concord.  He had twins daughters born 25 and 26 November 1639, soon died as did the mother Margaret in 7 days (2 December 1639).  He may have removed to Stratford.  By another wife, he had Elizabeth, born 25 July 1644; Mary, 15 September 1647; and Sarah, 13 February 1650.  He was living April 1659.  Perhaps he was of Salem, and his daughter Sarah died there, 26 December 1659, and he had a son born September 1660.  Elizabeth married ---- Hide; and Mary married Thomas Jeffrys.

THOMAS HARVEY, perhaps of Amesbury.  He married 1643, Elizabeth Wall, daughter of James Wall of Hampton; and they were living 1663, and he, perhaps, 1683.

THOMAS HARVEY, Taunton 1643.

THOMAS HARVEY, Amesbury, Captain, freeman 1690, Representative 1691 and 92, before and after new charter.

GEORGE HARWOOD, or GEORGE HARWARD, Boston, carpenter.  By wife Jane, had John, born 4 July 1639; Joanna, 10 December 1642; both baptized 5 March 1643; and Deliverance, who died in February 1641, probably few days old.  He perhaps removed to New London about 1651.  Of this name, also, was a distinguished merchant of London, who was treasurer of our Colony 1629 and never came over the water.

HENRY HARWOOD, or HENRY HARWARD, Charlestown.  He came with wife Elizabeth in the fleet, no doubt, with Winthrop, requested administration 19 October 1630, and was made freeman 4 March 1633.  He had John, baptized 3 June 1632.  In October 1632 he was one of the founders of the church at Charlestown, being dismissed from the Boston church with wife for that purpose.  His life was shortened by the extraordinary suffering in a storm, mentioned by Winthrop I. 39, and I believe he died as early as 1635.

HENRY HARWOOD, or HENRY HARWARD, Salem 1638, freeman 28 February 1643.  He had wife Elizabeth, and daughter Elizabeth who married Matthew Nixon.  He died about 1664.

HENRY HARWOOD, or HENRY HARWARD, Boston, shoemaker.  By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 3 April 1665; Henry, 23 February 1667; Hannah, 17 January 1669; Elizabeth again, 17 May 1671; and Henry, again, 2 January 1674.  He removed to Casco 1675.  He had command of the forces there before 1683, then went back to Boston.  Willis, I. 141, 181.

JAMES HARWOOD, or JAMES HARWARD, Boston, of who I know no more but that his father William Harwood, of Biddeford, in Devon, sent over, in 1655, to collect what was due to this son so that it may seem he was then dead.

JOHN HARWOOD, or JOHN HARWARD, Boston 1645, freeman 1649.  By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, baptized 17 March 1650, about 4 days old; Hezekiah, 27 April 1653, died next year; and Hannah, 6 March 1655.  He was a merchant, called tailor on administration of our church 25 December 1647; perhaps son of first treasurer.  He sold his estate 1657 to brother Thomas Scottow, went home, and in 1677 was of London, but directing his son John in importing operations.  My suspicion is strong that his name being sometimes spoken quickly, became Harrod in some ears.

JOHN HARWOOD, or JOHN HARWARD, Boston, son probably of the preceding.  By wife Hannah, had John, born 7 June 1677.

JOHN HARWOOD, or JOHN HARWARD, New London, son of George Harwood, before mentioned.  He had John, who died 1726, without issue, and was the last of the name at that place.

NATHANIEL HARWOOD, or NATHANIEL HARWARD, Boston.  By wife Elizabeth, had William, born 28 March 1665.  Perhaps he removed to Concord, and was freeman of 1690.

WILLIAM HASEY, Boston.  By wife Sarah, had William, born 15 September 1652; Asa, 1 January 1655; Joseph, 29 May 1657; and Susanna, 30 May 1660.  By second wife Judith, had William, again, 21 December 1679; and Jacob, 28 August 1684.  He was of artillery company 1652.  He lived at Rumney Marsh, now Chelsea, and died June 5, leaving widow Judith.  I presume he was freeman 1665, spelt Hazzey.  Others of the name were at Chelsea, and it has been wide spread. Three of the name are among graduates of Harvard College before 1791.

 

BENJAMIN HASKELL, or BENJAMIN HASCALL, Gloucester, son of William Haskell.  He married 21 November 1677, Mary Riggs, daughter of Thomas Riggs, had Eleanor, born 26 August 1678; Hannah, 7 December 1679; besides sons Benjamin, Josiah, Thomas, and William, who survived him.  His wife died 29 January 1698.  He was Deacon, selectman, Representative 1706 and 1707.  He died 1741, aged 92.

MARK HASKELL, or MARK HASCALL, Gloucester, youngest son of the first William Haskell.  He married 16 December 1685, Elizabeth Giddings, had Mark and William.  He died 8 September 1691.  Babson, 102, says, his widow married John Denison of Ipswich; but I much doubt.

ROGER HASKELL, or ROGER HASCALL, Salem 1637, brother of the first William Haskell, born about 1613.  He married Elizabeth Hardy, daughter of John Hardy, had John, William, Mark, and Elizabeth.  He was of Beverly after the incorporation of that town; but some confusion appears in arranging relationships.  His will of 27 May 1667, probated next month (June 1667) mentioned wife Elizabeth, sister Jane, brothers William and Mark, and younger children Roger, Joseph, Samuel, Josiah, Hannah, and Sarah.

JOHN HASSELL, Ipswich 1636, freeman 9 March 1637.  He removed probably to Rehoboth with first settlers 1642, where the record is Hazell, but back again to Ipswich 1648.  His will, nuncupative, called him of Rehoboth, made probably at Watertown, 19 November 1651, names no wife or children.

This name may be Haswell.

 

BENJAMIN HASTINGS, Hatfield, fifth son of Thomas Hastings the first, removed to Northampton, next to Deerfield.  He married about 1683, Elizabeth Graves, daughter of Isaac Graves of Hatfield, had Samuel, born 1684; Benjamin; and Hannah, unless one, or both, who died 8 February 1697, belong to the second wife who to me wears the aspect of probably, and Elizabeth 1693.  His wife died 1695, or earlier, and he took second wife probably Mary Parsons, daughter of Jonathan Parsons of Northampton, had perhaps twins that before mentioned Benjamin and Hannah; Benjamin, again, born May 1699;  Zeruiah, 30 August 1701; Joseph, 27 December 1703; and a daughter 30 June 1706, who died in 10 days.  The last four all were born at Northampton; and Submit, at Hatfield, 1707.  In the assault of 29 February 1704, Samuel was taken, carried to Canada, and never came back.  But the father removed to Hatfield once more, and he died 11 December 1711.  Benjamin Hastings junior, became a man of distinction at Greenfield.

JOHN HASTINGS, Braintree, a tanner, freeman 10 May 1643.  He had Walter, born 1631, and Samuel, brought from England. John, born on the passage, and Elizabeth 2 July 1643; "both baptized" says Mitchell's Register "at Braintree,"  so that seaborne, who Farmer mistook for a name, is clearly only description.  He removed to Cambridge, where in 1652 he had share in division of the Shawsheen land.  Married there Ann Means, daughter of John Means, and he died 2 December 1657.  In his will, six days before (26 November 1657), he names the wife and his four children, also son-in-law William Buttrick, who may, therefore, be presumed to be husband of his daughter Elizabeth, and also daughter-in-law Mary Means, meaning, no doubt, the daughter of his wife by John Means her first husband, who married afterwards, Samuel, the testator's son.  His widow died 25 March 1666, aged 60, and her inventory is of 3 April 1666.

JOHN HASTINGS, Cambridge, son of the preceding, freeman 1669.  He married 1 March 1666, Hannah Moore, daughter I suppose, of Goldin Moore, who bore John, 17 April 1667, and she died 10 June 1667.  He married next 20 May 1668, Lydia Champney, daughter of Richard Champney, had Joseph, born 6 May 1669; Lydia, 30 September 1671; Hannah, 13 March 1673; Elizabeth, 11 April 1675; and Daniel, 3 February 1677.  Perhaps he had another daughter Sarah.  In the Cambridge records these deaths are close together, Hannah died 16 April 1690; John, probably the father 12 November 1690; Sarah, 20 December following and Lydia, the mother 23 January 1691.

JOSEPH HASTINGS, Watertown, brother of the preceding.  He married 21 November 1682, Ruth Rice, daughter of Matthew Rice of Sudbury, who died 28 January 1683.  He married January 1684, Martha Shepherd, had Joseph, born 3 January 1685, Martha, 30 October 1687; Thomas, 14 February 1692; and Ebenezer, 2 March 1694.  He died 7 October 1695.

NATHANIEL HASTINGS, Watertown, son of Thomas Hastings of the same.  He married Mary Nevinson, eldest child of John Nevinson, had Nathaniel and John, both baptized 26 June 1698, at desire of mother, for he had died 25 December 1694.

SAMUEL HASTINGS, Watertown, son of Thomas Hastings the first.  He married 14 January 1687, Lydia Church, daughter of Caleb Church, had Lydia, born January 1691, died in few days; as did her mother.  For second wife he married 24 April 1694, Elizabeth Nevinson, daughter of John Nevinson, had Elizabeth, baptized 28 November 1697; Samuel, 30 October 1698; and Benjamin, 24 November 1700, died young.  Bond tells of marriage of the third wife 10 July 1701, Sarah Coolidge, daughter of Simon Coolidge, who had Daniel and Benjamin, again, both baptized 19 July 1702; and Nathaniel, of who, in 1728 his uncle Joseph Coolidge was guardian.  He died between 11 April 1722, the date of his will, and 19 August 1723, when it was probated.

THOMAS HASTINGS, Watertown, came in the Elizabeth 1634, aged 29, with wife Susan, 34, from Ipswich, and may be thought a Suffolk man, freeman 6 May 1635.  His wife died 20 January 1651, without children.  He married April 1651, Margaret Cheney, had Thomas, born 1 July 1652; John, 1 March 1654, William, 8 August 1655, drowned at 14 years; Joseph, 12 September 1657; Benjamin, 9 August 1659; Nathaniel, 25 September 1661; Hepzibah, 31 January 1664; and Samuel, 12 March 1666, before mentioned.  He was Deacon, Representative 1673; and date of his death is unknown.  His will, probated 7 September 1685 was made 12 March 1683.

THOMAS HASTINGS, Hatfield, son of the preceding, a physician.  He married 10 October 1672, Ann Hawkes, daughter of John Hawkes, had Margaret, born 7 July 1674; Hannah, 19 January 1677; Thomas, 24 September 1679; Hepzibah, 16 April 1682; Mehitable, 23 January 1685; and John, 17 September 1689.  His wife died 25 October 1705, and he married 14 February 1706, Mary Burt, daughter of David Burt of Northampton, had Silence, born 26 February 1707; Thankful, 1711, died young; and Sylvanus, born 1712, died next year.  He was the only doctor for Northampton, Hadley, Hatfield, and Deerfield.  He died 23 July 1712, when all the children were living, and the widow married 7 May 1713, Samuel Belden.  His son Thomas Hastings followed his father's profession, and occasionally served as school master.  He married at Hatfield 1701, Mary Field, had fourteen children of which Waitstill Hastings was, also, a physician.  John Hastings, another son of first Dr. Thomas Hastings had nine children at Hatfield.

WALTER HASTINGS, Cambridge, son of first John Hastings, born in England 1631.  He married 10 April 1655, Sarah Mean, who died 27 August 1673, daughter of widow Ann Mean, who after marriage, his father had Sarah, 3 June 1656, who died young; John Hastings, 2 December 1660, Harvard College 1681; Mary 29 September 1662; Walter, 26 November 1663, died under 10 years; Hannah, 9 January 1665; Sarah, December 1665, died soon; Elizabeth 19 February 1667, died soon; Nathaniel, 1669, died soon; and Elizabeth who died young.  By second wife married 23 July 1674, Elizabeth Bright, daughter of Henry Bright, who died 23 July 1702, had Elizabeth again, July 1676, died soon; Abigail, 16 February 1677; and Walter Hastings, again, 10 April 1679, who died at Harvard College 20 September 1699.  He was Deacon and often selectman, and he died 5 August 1705.  Notice of the sad error in Cambridge Epit. page 35, that he was son of John, and of his wife Ann Meen, must be taken to save the Deacon from marriage with his own sister.  Fourteen of this name had been, in 1834, says Farmer, graduates at New England Colleges of which thirteen at Harvard.

 

BENJAMIN HATCH, Barnstable, son of Jonathan Hatch.  He married 17 January 1678, Mary Hamblen, daughter perhaps of the first James Hamblen, had Abigail, born 4 August 1679; Mary, 3 March 1682; Nathaniel, 3 February 1685; Benjamin, 17 October 1686; John, 16 February 1690; Elizabeth, 25 March 1692; Meletiah, 4 October 1693; Timothy, 19 October 1695; Hannah, 7 May 1698; and Solomon, 1704. 

CHARLES HATCH, York, probably a fisherman, was dead in June 1655, when his brother Philip Hatch had administration on his estate.

JEREMIAH HATCH, Scituate, son of Elder William Hatch, born in England it is presumed.  He married Mary Hewes, daughter of John Hewes, had fourteen children between 1658 and 1678, says Deane, who names the sons Jeremiah; John; Israel; Joseph; Thomas; and James, this last born 4 May 1674.  He was an active citizen, selectman, and Representative 1675, 76, 79, and 80. 

JONATHAN HATCH, Barnstable, only son of Thomas Hatch, born at Sandwich, England, may have been at Salem 1640.  He married 11 April 1646, Sarah Rowley, had Mary, born 14 July 1648; Thomas, 1 January 1650; Jonathan, 17 May 1652; Joseph, 7 March 1654; Benjamin, 7 September 1655; Nathaniel, 5 June  1657; Samuel, 11 October 1659; Moses, 4 March 1662, or 7 March 1663; Sarah, 21 or 23 March 1665; Mark, 27 April 1667; and Lydia, 16 May 1669, the last four at Yarmouth.  He built, before 1666, it is said, house in what is now Falmouth where his eighth child Moses was born in Falmouth, recorded 23 March 1665. 

JONATHAN HATCH, Barnstable or Yarmouth, son of the preceding.  He married 4 September 1676, Abigail, as Falmouth record has it, but by Barnstable record 4 December 1676, Elizabeth Walker, had Jonathan, born 5 January 1678; Sarah, 17 May 1682; Mary, 24 June 1684; Nathan, 1693; and Ebenezer, 29 November 1696. 

JOSEPH HATCH, Falmouth.  He married 7 December 1683, Amy Allen, had Lydia, born 13 January 1685; Amy 4 July 1687; Joseph, 3 August 1689; Ichabod, 21 October 1691; Ruth, 7 November 1693; Joanna, 2 June 1696; Elizabeth, 6 November 1697; Bethia, 25 January 1700; Ebenezer, 26 March 1702; and Barnabas, 4 February 1704.

MOSES HATCH, Falmouth, son of Jonathan Hatch of Barnstable.  He married after January 1710, Hannah Scudder, widow of Lieutenant Joshua Bangs, daughter of John Scudder, but the disparaging of their ages makes me suppose she was second wife.

PHILIP HATCH, York, freeman 1652.

SAMUEL HATCH, was volunteer in the Pequot war, 1637, says Deane; but he tells no more.  Perhaps he was of Duxbury 1684.

SAMUEL HATCH, Falmouth, son of the first Jonathan Hatch.  He had Eleazer, born 23 September 1694; Samuel, 28 February 1696; James, 23 August 1697; and Lydia, 30 May 1699. 

THOMAS HATCH, Dorchester, freeman 14 May 1634.  He removed to Scituate, there died about 1646; but he had probably gone to Barnstable before 1643, and may have returned.  Left Jonathan; William; Thomas; Alice, who married 1657, Jonas Pickels, and Hannah, baptized 1646, perhaps posthumous.

THOMAS HATCH, Barnstable.  He had wife Grace, and he probably died 1661, a young man.  His inventory of 27 May 1661 was very small. 

THOMAS HATCH, Scituate, son of the first Thomas Hatch.  He married 1662, Sarah Ellms, daughter of Rhodolphus Ellms, had eleven children named in his will: Thomas, the eldest son; Sarah; Lydia; Keturah; Rhodolphus, born 26 December 1674; Hannah; Mary; Joseph, Margaret; Abigail; and Jeremiah, born 1684; but the order, except first and last here given is unknown.

THOMAS HATCH, Falmouth, eldest son of the first Jonathan Hatch.  He married 22 January or February 1679, it is said, had several children of which only Jonathan, born 9 April 1693; and Nathaniel, 1698; are mentioned in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 198. 

WALTER HATCH, Scituate, son of Elder William Hatch, born in England.  He married 6 May 1650, Elizabeth Holbrook, daughter of Thomas Holbrook of Weymouth, had Hannah, born 13 March 1651; Samuel, 22 December 1653; Jane, 7 March 1656; Antipas, 1658; and Bethia, 31 March 1661.  He took second wife 5 August 1674.

WILLIAM HATCH, Scituate, perhaps as early as 1633, but if so, he went home, and, probably first came in 1635.  He brought in the Hercules from Sandwich in Kent, wife Jane, five children, and six servants as is shown in the History of Sandwich, England.  He was first ruling elder of the 2nd church founded in 1644, for William Witherell, after long agitations following the removal of Lathrop to Barnstable.  He was brother of first Thomas, probably, and he died 6 November 1651.  His widow Jane married 1653, Elder Thomas King.  But we count his children William; Walter; Ann, who married 2 November 1643, Lieutenant James Torrey, the town clerk; Hannah, who married 6 December 1648, Samuel Utley; Jane, who married John Lovell of Weymouth, had John named in his grandfather's will; Jeremiah, before mentioned and this number is one more than he brought from England in 1635; so that I infer he had brought over, at a former time, the eldest, and left him or her here, while he went for the rest of the family.  Besides I find a Lydia Hatch married 19 December 1650, at Barnstable, Henry Taylor. 

WILLIAM HATCH, Scituate, son of the preceding, born in England.  He married 13 May 1652, Susanna Annable, daughter of Anthony Annable, had Lydia, born 28 April 1653, died in 4 days; one other of the same name, 7 January 1655; besides one of more sons perhaps born at Swanzey, whither he removed and Deane says was living there 1690.  He was, probably the soldier in Philip's war.  Lydia married 1678 John Barstow of Scituate. 

WILLIAM HATCH, Scituate, perhaps son of Thomas Hatch.  He had wife Abigail, named in his will of 13 November 1653, to be executrix, and daughter Phebe, but no other children is mentioned in the will.  He died in Virginia, and his inventory here was made 7 April 1657.  This is not consistent with Deane's account for he makes him to have been a soldier in Philip's war, and had grant of land, 1676; besides calling his children Mary, born 1652; Lydia, 1654; Phebe; and Hannah.  Very likely the confusion is not discoverable without diligent comparison between different classes of record.

WILLIAM HATCH, New London, about 1690.  Four of this name had been graduates in 1834, at Harvard three at Yale, and six at other New England Colleges.

 

ABRAHAM HATHAWAY, or ABRAHAM HADAWAY, Taunton.  He married 28 August 1684, Rebecca Wilbore, daughter perhaps of Shadrach Wilbore. 

ARTHUR HATHAWAY, or ARTHUR HADAWAY, Marshfield 1643.  He married 20 November 1653, Sarah Cook, perhaps daughter of Reverend John Cook, had John, born 17 September 1652; and Sarah, 28 February 1656.  Ten years later he was at Dartmouth, and took oath of fidelity 1684 there.

JOHN HATHAWAY, or JOHN HADAWAY, Barnstable, perhaps came at 18 years in the Blessing, 1635, from London.  He married 1 July 1656, Hannah Hallet, had son born October 1647, died soon; John, 16 August 1658; Hannah, May 1662; and Edward, 10 February 1664.  He removed to Taunton, where he was Representative 1680-84 inclusive and 1691. 

JOHN HATHAWAY, or JOHN HADAWAY, Dartmouth, son of Arthur Hathaway, was a townsman 1686. 

JOSEPH HATHAWAY, or JOSEPH HADAWAY, Taunton, freeman 1657, was perhaps brother of the first John Hathaway.  Thirteen of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at the New England Colleges of which only one at Harvard.

 

WILLIAM HATCHETT, found by Felt in Massachusetts 1641; but perhaps only a transient visitor.

EBENEZER HATHORNE, or EBENEZER HAWTHORNE, Salem 1669.  Felt, 1. 286.

EBENEZER HATHORNE, or EBENEZER HAWTHORNE, Lynn, may have been son of the preceding, or more probably of first John Hathorne of Salem.  He married 26 December 1683, Esther Witt, daughter of Jonathan Witt, had Sarah, born 16 October 1684.  He was freeman 1691.

NATHANIEL HATHORNE, or NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, Lynn, perhaps brother of first John Hathorne, as Lewis gave him residence there 1634, but no more is known of him.

WILLIAM HATHORNE, or WILLIAM HAWTHORNE, Salem 1636, had before been of Lynn or Dorchester, conflicted claims for each town ascertains by Lewis and Harris, severally, from 1630, when he came in the Arbella with Winthrop, freeman 14 May 1634, Representative 1635 perhaps for Dorchester, though this would not prove that he did not live at Lynn but if, as I think probably he was members for Salem, before he had grant of land there, it might add to his inducement to fix his home in this place, which he, Representative many years.  He was speaker 1644 and six years after, Assistant 1662-1679, military commander as Captain or Major in Philip's war and in the following with the East Indies.  Died 1681 in 74th year.  His will of 17 February 1680 made wife Ann executrix, provided for children of his son Eleazur (who was dead) viz. William, Samuel, and Abigail; for Sarah, daughter of his son William; for a grandchildren in Europe, if he come here, if not, then that devise to other grandchildren viz. two eldest sons of his daughter Coker, wife I presume of Joseph.  He had at Salem, Sarah, born 11 March 1635; Eleazur, born 1, baptized 6 August 1637; Nathaniel, 11, baptized 18  August 1639; John, 4, baptized 22 August 1641; Ann, 12, baptized 17 December 1643; William, 1, baptized 5 April 1646, died before his father; Elizabeth, 22, baptized 29 July 1649; and Mary, 1 May 1653; of many of which descendants still abound.  Ann married 27January 1665, Joseph Porter, and Elizabeth married 20 November 1672, Israel Porter.

WILLIAM HATHORNE, or WILLIAM HAWTHORNE, Salem, son of the preceding, was Captain.  He died 1679.  His widow Sarah returned small inventory.

NATHAN HAYMAN, or NATHAN HEYMAN, or NATHANIEL HAYMAN, or NATHANIEL HEYMAN, Charlestown, probably son of the preceding.  He married 11 March 1674, Elizabeth Allen, daughter of John Allen of the same, had Nathan, born 25 January 1675, baptized 23 April following; Elizabeth, 21, baptized 25 February 1677, who married 3 November 1697, Reverend William Brattle, and died 28 July 1715; Sarah, 22 August 1679, baptized 15 May 1680; Mary, 17, baptized 18 June 1682; and Grace, baptized 19 April 1685.  He was a Captain, among the first proprietors of Bristol, living there February 1689, with wife and six children.

JONATHAN HAYNES, or JONATHAN HAINES, Newbury, said to be son of Jonathan Haynes of the same (but very little reliance is due to that Jonathan, as the story is so uncertain).  He married 1 January Mary Moulton, who soon died.  He married 30 December 1674, Sarah Moulton, both daughters of William Moulton, as I presume, though the family genealogy gives this designation only to the latter, had Mary, born 14 November 1675, died soon;  Mary, again, 2 October 1677, who married 7 January 1706, John Preston; Thomas, 14 May 1680; Sarah, who married William Corbett; Jonathan, 3 September 1684, who became a Canadian farmer, having been taken at 12 years of age, with his father, sister Mary, and brothers Thomas and Joseph, 15 August 1696, by the Indians.  He removed to Haverhill, there had Margaret, 3 March 1687; Joseph, 4 August 1689; Ruth, 10 February 1692; and Elizabeth, 22 March 1697.  He was killed by the Indians 22 February 1698.  In Genealogical Registrar IX. 349, he is favored with three more daughters, all without dates either of births or marriages, who are given in marriage to men of Connecticut.  Now that alone would be a very improbable circumstance, yet capable of obtaining support from the statement, that two others removed to that province with their husbands.  Less likely is the fond tradition of his having lived in Newbury forty years a full grown man, before he married, and still less of his being brother of Governor Haynes.  Indeed the whole story of the family abounds in wonders as given by Guy C. Haines of East Boston.

JOSEPH HAYNES, or JOSEPH HAINES, Hartford, son of Governor John Haynes.  He succeeded Hooker in the pulpit, 1664, but had a tempestate service for a few years of diversity in administration of baptisms.  He died 24 May 1679, aged 38.  He married Sarah Lord, daughter of Richard Lord, had daughters Mabel, who died unmarried about 1713; Mary; and Sarah, who became 30 May 1694, second wife of Reverend James Pierpont of New Haven, died 7 October 1696, besides only son John Haynes, born 1669, Harvard College 1689, died 1713, a Judge of the Supreme Court of the Colony whose son left no children so that the male line of the Governor on our side of the ocean ceased in 1717.  His widow died 15 November 1705,

JOSIAH HAYNES, or JOSIAH HAINES, Sudbury, son of Walter Haynes, born in England.  He married 13 November 1646, Elizabeth Noyes, had, besides Thomas, who died 29 June 1656; Josiah, born 27 April 1655; Abigail, 30 November 1657; Caleb; and Joshua.

SAMUEL HAYNES, or SAMUEL HAINES, Portsmouth, son of the preceding.  He married 9 January 1673, Mary Fifield, probably daughter of Giles Fifield of Hampton, had Sarah, born 6 October 1673; Elinor, 23 August 1675; Matthias, 7 March 1677; William, 7 January 1679; Mary, 27 January 1686; and Samuel, 5 July 1687.  Descendants spell their name Haines.

THOMAS HAYNES, or THOMAS HAINES, Sudbury, perhaps brother of Walter Haynes, or John Haynes, or both.  He died 28 July 1640.

JAMES HAYWARD, Charlestown, spelt at London custom house Haieward.  He came, probably in the Planter, 1635, aged 22.  He was, perhaps of Woburn.  He married Judith Phippen, aged 16.  Both servants of Nicholas Davis.  He died 20 November 1642, had Rebecca, born 4 December 1642.  His widow married 18 January 1644, William Symonds of Woburn.

JAMES HAYWARD, New Haven 1643.  He died 1648, without family as is believed.

JOHN HAYWARD, Watertown 1632, freeman 14 May 1634.  He removed to Dedham, there was constable 1638, and Representative 1645.  He died at Charlestown, 29 December 1672.  His half sister was wife of Reverend George Phillips.  His will of 31 July 1672 calls himself 79 years old, names wife Mary, and Reverend Samuel Phillips of Rowley, son of George, executors and residing devisees, gives house lot by the pond in Watertown to Harvard College also to Thomas, and Samuel Aldrich, Sarah, and Esther Judson, all children of his wife Mary, and to Henry Duren, each £5, and to five children of Andrew Duren, each £1 and to George Westbrook, a mare colt; so that it is thought that he had no issue.  He owned estate in the three towns, Watertown, Dedham, and Charlestown.  The widow in her will of 5 September 1683, probated 29 May 1684 mentioned her son Thomas and Samuel Aldrich, grandchild Mary, daughter of widow Thomas; grandchild Sarah Westbrook, daughter of her daughter Sarah; daughter Sarah Woodcock; and daughter Esther Kingsbury.

JOHN HAYWARD, Plymouth 1643.  He had Sarah, born 20 August 1647.  He was after of Dartmouth with son Daniel, and proprietor at Little Compton 1675.

JOHN HAYWARD, Boston 1671, scrivener.  By wife Mary, had Thomas, born 27 October 1672, and John, 22 November 1674.  In 1677 he was appointed postmaster for the Colony.  In 1673 he was Lieutenant  of the artillery company and later a Notary.  He had second wife Elizabeth, who had been widow of Samuel Sandal, and still earlier widow of John Warren.  He died 2 December 1687.  In his will of 8 July 1687, probated 15 February 1688 provides for widow Elizabeth and sons Samuel and John, and conditionally sisters Hannah and Sarah, father and mother-in-law Dawson, and gives £5 to Reverend Samuel Willard.  His widow Elizabeth married Phineas Wilson of Hartford.

JOHN HAYWARD, Bridgewater, son of Thomas Hayward, perhaps born in England.  He married Sarah Mitchell, daughter of Experience Mitchell, had Sarah, born 1663; John, 1667; Joseph, 1669; Mary, 1672; Thomas, 1674; Benjamin, 1677; Susanna, 1680; Elizabeth, 1683; Benoni, 1686; and Mercy, 1687.  His name was sounding Howard, though the spelling was unchanged, and to distinguish him from John Howard, he was, says Mitchell, called "John of the Plain."

JOHN HAYWARD, Concord, son of George Hayward.  He married 2 June 1671, Ann White, had Mary, born 5 December 1671, died soon; George, 20 July 1673; Judith, 21 Apr 1675; Mary, 13 May 1677; John, 7 July 1680; Ann, 3 August 1682; and Sarah, 16 June 1687.  He was freeman 1690.  His wife died 26 May 1718; and he died 22 November 1718.

JOHN HAYWARD, Boston 1676.  By wife Silence, had Mary, born 5 June 1677.

JONATHAN HAYWARD, Braintree, son of William Hayward.  He married 6 May 1663, Sarah Thayer, daughter of Richard Thayer, had ten children or more.  He died 21 November 1690, aged 49.  He was great grandfather of Lemuel Hayward, Harvard College 1768, who was father of George Hayward, Harvard College 1809, one of the distinguished Professors in that University.  Perhaps this number of children was not all born of that wife Sarah, whose husband had, I think, been wife of Samuel Davis, and bore him three children.  There was in the land only one Richard Thayer, who so early had daughter Sarah, and she married Samuel Davis of Boston, where her father lived.

JOSEPH HAYWARD, Concord, son of George Hayward.  He married 26 October 1665, Hannah Homer, daughter of James Homer, had Joseph, born 17 August 1666; Mary, 27 September 1667; John, 1669, died young; Hannah, 14 January 1671; Dorothy, 2 June 1674.  His wife died 15 December 1675.  He married 23  March 1677, Elizabeth Treadwell, had Ebenezer, 22 July 1678; James, 3 March 1681; Simeon, 18 June 1683; and Abiel, a daughter 17 September 1691. 

JOSEPH HAYWARD, Bridgewater, son of Thomas Hayward, a Deacon, and had three wives.  By the  first, Alice Brett, daughter of Elder William Brett, had Joseph, born 1673.  By the third, Hannah Mitchell, daughter of Experience Mitchell, had Mary, 1685; Thomas, 1687; Edward, 1689; Hannah,1691; Susanna, 1695; Peter, 1699; and Abigail, 1702.

NATHANIEL HAYWARD, Bridgewater, brother of the preceding.  He married Hannah Willis, daughter of Deacon John Willis, had Nathaniel, born 1664; John; Thomas; Samuel; Elisha; Patience; and perhaps other daughters.

NICHOLAS HAYWARD, Salem 1643, removed probably to Boston.  By wife Elizabeth, had Richard, born 22 August 1665; Rebecca, 19 November 1666; and John, 29 June 1668.

RICHARD HAYWARD, Salem, was of County Bedford, came with Higginson 1629.

ROBERT HAYWARD, Windsor, a miller.  He married Lydia Kilborne, daughter of the first Thomas Kilborne, had Tabitha, born 1 January 1647; Rebecca, 17 August 1648; Esther, 8 June 1651; Lydia, 13 January 1655; besides three other daughters most of who died young; and Ephraim, 11 January 1657.  He removed to Northampton 1659, but after some years went back to Windsor, there died 23 August 1684.  His widow who came with her father in the Increase 1635, testate in 1684, that she was 70 years old, only slight exaggeration.  Rebecca married about 1665, John Spencer of Haddam.  This family is usually called Howard.

ROBERT HAYWARD, Boston, a notary.  See Howard.

SAMUEL HAYWARD, Gloucester.  He married 2 March 1641, the first on the record, a daughter of Henry Felch, had Samuel, born 4 January 1642; and John, 24 December 1643.

SAMUEL HAYWARD, Boston.  By wife Isabel, had James, born 16 December 1645; Samuel, 4 May 1646, by perverse record; and Peter, 4 August 1654.  He, or more probably the preceding, was of Mendon 1672.

SAMUEL HAYWARD, Charlestown.  He came in the Elizabeth 1635, aged 22, had first wife Sarah, who united with the church 9 July 1648, and I suppose sat down in that part which became Malden.  He had Martha, born 15 March 1653; Mary, August 1654; Sarah, February 1656; and Elizabeth, 25 September 1658, died young.  It is said he had second wife Susanna Wilkinson, married 10 March 1670.  In the will of Elizabeth Hayward, widow, I find ground for conjecture that she was relict of this man.  It has date of May 1686, and was probated 5 May 1687 and gives daughter Abigail the part of movables that came to her from estate of her first husband Oakes, with proviso, that, if it amount to above £20, she shall give 20 share to wife of Samuel Hayward.  That daughter Abigail (whose mother Elizabeth Hayward, formerly wife of Thomas Oakes of Cambridge, had been December 1667, dismissed to Malden), was, as the Registrar of matchless Mitchell tells, baptized 23 September 1666, in his church at Charlestown.  He had, also, Richard, baptized 22 July 1660; Elizabeth, 9 June 1661; Deborah, 6 July 1662; Nathaniel, 5 June 1664.  But these were not children of Elizabeth Oakes, who had been widow of Oakes, and was, after 1662, widow of Seth Sweetser, when she married Hayward, and bore him Abigail, who I suppose married 31 October 1688, John Upham.  A Samuel Hayward perhaps son of the preceding was in London, with John Balston, and John Herring, dealing with Judith, daughter of Stephen Winthrop, in May 1687, and resolved to embark for New England.  The name is on some record written, as sounding Howard.  But I am almost certain that father and son are confused or some other confusion appears.

SIMEON HAYWARD, Concord, son of George Hayward.  He married 7 March 1687, Elizabeth Danforth, perhaps daughter of the first Jonathan Danforth, had Elizabeth, born 28 February 1689; Jonathan, 16 November 1690; Simeon, 24 April 1693; and Mary, 19 March 1696.

THOMAS HAYWARD, Cambridge.  He came in the Hercules 1635, from Sandwich, being tailor of Aylesford, County Kent, with wife Susanna, and five children.  But he had perhaps been here as early as 1632, coming with Winslow in the William and Francis, and satisfied with prospects, went home to bring them.  He settled at Duxbury before 1638, probably at Bridgewater 1651, being of the first proprietors 1645, and was freeman of the Colony 1646.  He had Thomas, Nathaniel, John, Joseph, Elisha, Mary, wife of Edward Mitchell, and Martha, wife of John Howard; but of these we are unable to discriminate which were born in England or whether even he were that Kentish man, or not.  He died 1681.  Elisha never was married and made his will 1703.  Descendants of Thomas are more numerous says Mitchell, than those of any other inhabitants.

THOMAS HAYWARD, Bridgewater, son of the preceding, a valuable officer.  He died 15 August 1698, leaving wife Sarah Ames, daughter of William Ames of Braintree, but no children.

THOMAS HAYWARD, Enfield.  He had Benjamin, born 1686, but before had Nathan, John, and several daughters, was "aged about 50," in 1693, so that it is probably that he was born on this side of the Atlantic.  He died 1700.

WILLIAM HAYWARD, Hampton, freeman 13 May 1640, had been of Charlestown in 1637.  He was Lieutenant and Representative 1641-45.

WILLIAM HAYWARD, Braintree 1648.  He had wife Margery and several children of which Jonathan is the only one to be traced exactly.  He was drowned 1659.

WILLIAM HAYWARD, Swanzey.  By wife Sarah, had Jonathan, born 8 April 1672; Margery, 10 September 1673.  Fifteen of this last name had, in 1850, been graduates at Harvard.  Great skill will often be baffled in reconciling the various spellings with the deductions of families from Hayward, Haywood, Heywood, and the predominant Howard.

 

ANTHONY HAYWOOD, Boston 1671.  He had wife Margaret, son Powell, born 19 October 1674, died young; and Powell, again, 18 November 1679.  He was one of the founders of the first Episcopal church, and died 10 October 1689.  Governor Andros, less than a month before his imprisonment, authorized him and others to receive voluntary contributions for the edifice.  [3 Massachusetts History Collections I. 84.]

JOHN HAYWOOD, postmaster.  See Hayward.

ROBERT HAZARD, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1655, son of Thomas Hazard, born in Wales, it is said.  He was father of Thomas, who died 1746, aged 90, of George, who died 1743; of Stephen; Robert; and Jeremiah.

THOMAS HAZARD, Boston 1635, ship carpenter, freeman 25 May 1636.  He removed in few years to Rhode Island, signed the covenant of citizenship 24 January 1639, and is on the list of 1655, but in 1656 was at Newtown, Long Island.  Thence he soon came back to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, there died 1669.  His will of that date names wife Martha; daughters Elizabeth, wife of George Laighton; Hannah, wife of Stephen Wilcox of Misquamacuck, that part of the Narraganset now Westerly; and Martha, wife of Ichabod Potter of Portsmouth, besides son Robert, and grandson Thomas Hazard.  Tradition in the family is, that he came from Wales, bringing son Robert, about 4 years old.  Six of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Brown University, and of two graduates at New Jersey. one was Ebenezer Hazard, the assiduous antiquary, who died at Philadelphia 1817, aged 73.  History Collections of Rhode Island III. 312.

 

JOHN HAZEL, Rehoboth.  He was fined and imprisoned 1651, though near 60 years old, for exhibiting sympathy with Obadiah Holmes, when publicly whipped as a Baptist.  He died soon after, having made his will 19 September 1651.  Knowles, 243.  See Hassell.

ROBERT HAZELTINE, or ROBERT HAZELTON, Bradford, son of the preceding.  He married 21 July 1680, Elizabeth Jewett daughter of Maximilian Jewett.  He was freeman 1682; as was

JOSEPH HEATH, Boston, younger brother perhaps, of Charles Heath, or Elias Heath, or both.  He had Ebenezer, Mary, Elizabeth, and Esther, before he removed to Charlestown, there had baptized Joseph, Abigail, and Lydia.  He died 11 June 1714, aged only 46. 

PELEG HEATH, Roxbury, son of William Heath the first, born in England.  He married Susanna King, daughter of Dorothy, wife of John King (probably by former husband), had Susanna, baptized 5 December 1652; Hannah, 1 October yet the doleful copy of record in our City Registrar says born 23 December 1654; Abigail, 10 October 1658; Joseph, born 23, baptized 30 December 1660, died in few days; Mehitable, born 7 February baptized 9 March 1662; William, born 30 January baptized 6 March 1664; Joseph, again, born 6, baptized 16 September 1666, died at 8 years; and Peleg, born 18 September baptized 22 November 1668; besides Dorothy, born 18 December 1670, died young.  He was freeman 1652, and died from a wound, after suffered long, and was buried 18 November 1671.  Hannah married 27 April 1681, James Clark. 

THOMAS HEATH, Boston, perhaps brother of Charles Heath.  By wife Mary, had James, baptized at Old South church 27 February 1676; and Charles, 7 November 1680.  Probably he removed or died February 1695.

WILLIAM HEATH, Roxbury, brother of Elder Isaac Heath.  He came from London in the Lion, arriving 16 September 1632, with wife Mary and 5 children, says the church record of which one may have been Mary Spear, daughter of his second wife by former husband.  Others were Isaac, Mary, Peleg, and Hannah, all I suppose, by first wife.  But who was Martha, who married 24 July 1643 George Brand, and died as his widow 1 August 1686, unless she were his daughter and not named in this instrument, because provided for in another way, is uncertain.  He was freeman 4 March 1633, Representative at first assembly of Deputy 14 May 1634, 37, 39, to 42, and in 1645 for Dover.  He died 29 May 1652, "an able, godly, and faithful brother" is Eliot's entry in the church record, and his aged widow Mary died 15 December 1659.  Of his will, made one day before his death (28 May 1652), large abstract is in Genealogical Registrar IV. 286.

WILLIAM HEATH, Roxbury, son of Peleg Heath, freeman 1690.  He married 11 November 1685, Hannah Weld, daughter of John Weld, had William, born 25 September 1686; Hannah, 1688, Joseph 29 November 1690; Susanna, 23 November 1693, died soon; Margaret, 29 August 1694; Peleg, 2 October 1696, died young; Peleg, again, 26 July 1700; Samuel, 27 December 1701; and Abigail, 12 July 1704, who died young.  He died 3 November 1738.

 

MATTHIAS HEATHFIELD, or MATTHIAS HITHFIELD, New Haven, took oath of fidelity 1 May 1660.

 

JABEZ HEATON, Boston, 1655, son perhaps the eldest, of Nathaniel Heaton.  By wife Experience Mede, daughter of Gabriel Mede, married 4 December 1663, had Experience, born 15 June 1665, and Elizabeth, 15 April 1668.  This name may as well be Eaton. 

JAMES HEATON, New Haven 1661-1685.  He married 20 November 1662, says Dodd, Sarah Streete, daughter of Reverend Nicholas Streete, had Nathaniel, born 9 November 1664; Samuel, 4 October 1667; James, 13 February 1670, died at 1 year; James, again, 14 January 1672, died soon; Abigail, January 1674; Seth, 25 March 1676; Theophilus, 12 April 1680; and Ann, 23 December 1682.  Mr. Porter thinks he was relative of Governor Eaton, and in 1654 spelled so.  He died 16 October 1712.  His sons Seth and Theophilus had families as Porter writes, without specifying.  Abigail married December 1691, Ebenezer Atwater, and next, 27 November 1712, John Gilbert.  

NATHANIEL HEATON, Boston 1634, freeman 25 May 1636.  By wife Elizabeth, had Eleazur, baptized 2 October 1636; perhaps Leah; Nathaniel, 1 September 1639; and Elizabeth, 8 October 1643.  He died early, and his widow married perhaps, William Pell, again was widow and married John Maynard, and outlived him.  His daughter as is supposed, Leah, married 22 February 1653, Cornelius Fisher, and Elizabeth married John Barnes. 

NATHANIEL HEATON, Dedham, freeman 1671, perhaps son of the preceding, in that part set off as Wrentham.  By wife Mary, had Sarah, born 14 June 1687; James, 25 March 1690; and Abigail, 3 May 1695, and perhaps others earlier. 

NATHANIEL HEATON, New Haven, a cordwainer, perhaps son or brother of James, a proprietor 1685.  The name has been prevalent in that vicinity.

 

ELISHA HEDGE, Plymouth, was a Sergeant 1671. 

ELISHA HEDGE, Yarmouth, son of William Hedge.  He died 1732, aged 71, leaving eldest child John, who, by Thankful, daughter of Barnabas, born Lathrop or Barnstable, had Barnabas Hedge, Harvard College 1724, father of Barnabas, born 1740, who was father of the late Honorable Barnabas Hedge, Harvard College 1783. 

JOHN HEDGE, Lynn, 1634, then aged about 24. 

STEPHEN HEDGE, Fairfield 1670. 

WILLIAM HEDGE, Lynn, freeman 14 May 1634.  He removed to Sandwich, thence to Yarmouth.  He had Elizabeth, born 21 May 1646; Mary, 1648; besides Abraham, Sarah, Elisha, William, John, Mary, and Lemuel, all living to be named in his will.  This may not be the order of their births.  His second wife was Blanch, and had been widow Hull.  Elizabeth married 4 January 1666, Jonathan Barnes; Mary married a Sturgis; and Sarah married a Matthew.  He died 1670, when some of these children were young.  His will of 30 June 1670 mentioned that his wife to whom he gave only twelve pence, had broken covenant and separated from him.  A soldier in the Pequot war, with this surname, whose name of baptism is not found, either in Vincent, Underhill, or Mason, the narrators, who served with him, is very well mentioned and the first writer (who probably spoke with confidence), calls him a gentleman of Northampton shire.

WILLIAM HEDGE, Bristol, perhaps son of the preceding, was living 1689, with only one child.  One William Hedges of Hampton, Long Island 1650 may have been freeman of Massachusetts 1634.  Ten of this name had been graduates at Harvard in 1834.

 

THOMAS HEDGER, Warwick, a residence for many years of which by record no trace of family is seen.

 

TRISTRAM HEDGES, Boston.  He married 20 December 1657, Ann Nickerson, daughter of William Nickerson, had Grace, born 20 August 1659. 

WILLIAM HEDGES, Taunton 1648, freeman 1652.  He married Mary Andrews, daughter of Henry Andrews of the same, had John, and Henry born about 1652.  He died 2 April 1654.  His widow made her will soon after, I suppose, for she desires Peter Pitts, "in case I make him my husband" to perform its conditions in favor of the church.  This name is printed in Genealogical Registrar V. 261, without the final s which it had in two pages preceding.  But I doubt the correctness of either form, and think it should be Hodges, as Baylies has given it.

 

JOHN HEDLEY, Newport.  By wife Mary, had Mary, born 3 April 1674; Elizabeth, 11 February 1676; John, 8 March 1678; and Sarah.

 

WILLIAM HEFERMAN, Wickford 1674, when also Robert, Samuel, and William, junior, perhaps his sons were all there.

 

ANDREW HEIFOR, was at Kittery, 1640; but in what Christian land he got his name is unknown.

 

WILLIAM HELDRED, Ipswich, 1637.  Felt.  Perhaps the same as Eldred.

 

HELE.  See Healey.

 

JOHN HELMAN, Nantucket, had Richard, born 7 October 1682.

 

CHRISTOPHER HELME, Exeter, 1639.  He removed to Massachusetts 1643, thence to Warwick, next year with the Gortonists.  There died before December 1650, leaving widow Margaret and son William.  Belknap 20.432.  Rhode Island History Collections II. 160,

WILLIAM HELME, Warwick, son of Christopher Helme, of which we know nothing after 1661.

 

JOHN HELSON, Saco.  He married 1658, Joan Warwick, daughter of Henry Warwick, had Ephraim, born 1667; and perhaps others.

 

FRANCIS HEMAN, freeman of Massachusetts 1646.  It may be the same as Hayman.

 

JOHN HEMMENWAY, or JOHN HEMINGWAY, Roxbury, son of Ralph Hemmenway.  He married 6 October 1665, Mary Trescott, daughter of William Trescott, had Thankful, born 17 May 1668, baptized 8 August 1669; Mary, 1, baptized 13 November 1670, died young; Mary, again, 5 baptized 6 September 1674; Elizabeth, 17, baptized 24 August 1679; Sarah, 20, baptized 24 July 1687, died at 7 months; and John, born 11 November 1690.  He died 4 October 1724.  Thankful married 3 May 1687, Jacob Parker. 

JOSHUA HEMMENWAY, or JOSHUA HEMINGWAY, Roxbury, brother of the preceding.  He married 16 January 1668, Joanna Evans, daughter of Richard Evans of Dorchester, had Joshua, baptized 1 August 1669; Joanna, 2 October 1670; Ralph, 18 May 1673, died 1 June 1699; and Samuel, 30 September 1683.  He had 2nd wife Mary, who died 5 May 1703. 

RALPH HEMMENWAY, or RALPH HEMINGWAY, Roxbury 1633, freeman 3 September 1634.  He married 5 July 1634, Elizabeth Hewes, had Mary, born 4 April 1635, died in 20 days; Samuel, June 1636; Ruth, September 1638; John, 27 April 1641; Joshua, baptized 9 April 1643, Elizabeth, born 31 May 1645, baptized 8 June 1645; and Mary, again, 7, baptized 18 April 1647, died young.  He died 1677 or 1678.  His will of 4 May 1677, probated 11 July 1678 mentioned his grand age, names wife Elizabeth and three sons.  Ruth died 1684, unmarried and her mother died 2 February 1686, the church record of next day says "old widow Hemmenway buried".

SAMUEL HEMMENWAY, or SAMUEL HEMINGWAY, New Haven, son of the preceding.  He married 1662, Sarah Cooper, daughter of John Cooper, had Sarah, born 26 July 1663; Samuel, 13 December 1665; both baptized 25 March 1667; Mary, born 5 July 1668; Hannah, 14 September 1670; Abigail, 16 February 1672; John, 29 May 1675; Abraham, 3 December 1667; and Israel and Jacob, twins 6 December 1683.

 

JOSHUA HEMPSTEAD, New London, son of Robert Hempstead.  By wife Elizabeth Larrabee, daughter of Greenfield Larrabee, had Elizabeth, born 1672; Mary, 1674; Phebe, 1675; Joshua, 1678; and Hannah, for who in his will, 1683, he made provision, but lived many years after.  He had two more children Patience and Lucy, so that, after his death 1700, dispute about the will arose. 

ROBERT HEMPSTEAD, New London 1645, one of four inhabitants to Assistant Winthrop in settling of the place.  He had Mary, born 26 March 1647, first child born in that town; Joshua, 16 June 1649; and Hannah, 11 April 1652.  Caulkins, 272, tells, that he died June 1655; and that his widow married Andrew Lester.  But when, 310, that diligent writer makes her to be daughter of Isaac Willey, my confidence is shaken especially when a romantic connection is by tradition attempted to be fixed by another union between the Lester and the Willey.  Mary married 1665, Robert Douglas; and Hannah married Abel Moore.

 

ARTHUR HENBURY, Hartford.  He was buried 1 August 1697, but many years before he was of Windsor and Simsbury.  He married 1670, Lydia Hill, had Mary, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Susanna.  At his death, Elizabeth was 17 years, and Susanna, 15.  Administration of his estate was by widow Martha, who married John Shepard.  All the daughters married but the name failed.

 

DANIEL HENCHMAN, or DANIEL HINCHMAN, Boston, schoolmaster 1666, freeman 1672, and of artillery company 1675 perhaps.  By wife Sarah, had (besides Richard, Hezekiah, and Nathaniel) Susanna, born 7 June 1667; and William, 28 July 1669, who died young.  By wife Mary Poole, daughter of William Poole, married 26 April 1672, had William, again, 29 March 1673; Jane, 25 May 1674; Daniel 16 June 1677; and Mary, 1 June 1682.  The last two probably died young.  Having served on the Committee for surveying of a new plantation now Worcester, about 1665, he became a proprietor and in Philip's war, 1675 and 76, he was a Captain of distinction.  He died at Worcester, 15 October 1685.  His widow Mary, with the sons Richard and Hezekiah, administered the estate by inventory of 29 April 1686, was £1381.13.9. 

EDMUND HENCHMAN, or EDMUND HINCHMAN, Marshfield 1652, had come with, or after, Reverend John Fiske of Wenham.  He removed I presume, to Chelmsford after 1657, there died 27 October 1668.  Perhaps he had daughter Elizabeth, who married 1652, George Vaughan of Scituate.  His widow Elizabeth married 1 August 1672, Reverend John Fiske.  Allen, History of Chelmsford 124. 

HEZEKIAH HENCHMAN, or HEZEKIAH HINCHMAN, Boston, son of Daniel Henchman, freeman 1690.  By wife Abigail, had Daniel, born 21 January 1689; Samuel, 5, baptized 7 February 1692; Margaret, 7 January 1694, baptized same day, probably died soon; and Abigail, posthumous 1, baptized 6 January 1695.  He died May 1694.  His son Daniel Henchman was Lieutenant Colonel, Deacon of the Old South church, the enterprising bookseller, who caused the first edition in America of the English bible to be printed, says Thomas in his History with a false title-page to evade the right of the King's printer.  He died 25 February 1761. 

JOHN HENCHMAN, or JOHN HINCHMAN, Boston.  He married 10 August 1660, Elizabeth Emmons, daughter of Thomas Emmons.

JOHN HENCHMAN, or JOHN HINCHMAN, Charlestown, perhaps same as Hinckson. 

JOSEPH HENCHMAN, or JOSEPH HINCHMAN, Scituate, about 1680.  He had Elizabeth, born 1685; Mary, 1689; Hannah, 1698; Edmund, 1700; and Sarah, 1702.  Deane thought he was son of Thomas Henchman of Chelmsford. 

NATHANIEL HENCHMAN, or NATHANIEL HINCHMAN, Boston, son of Daniel Henchman, freeman 1690.  He married 11 January 1694, Hannah Green, had Nathaniel, born 31 March 1695, died young; Mary, 13 April 1697, died many years after at the house of a second son; Nathaniel Henchman, 2 November 1699, Harvard College 1717, minister of Lynn, ordained December 1720, died 23 December 1761, leaving Dr. Nathaniel Henchman, Harvard College 1747, whose only son Nathaniel Henchman, a physician at Amherst, New Hampshire, died 27 May 1800, aged 38, leaving only son Nathaniel Henchman, a physician, who died 5 September 1819, aged 32, unmarried in Massachusetts.  There is a strange inconsistency between this account verified by the highest authority, both record and family and that of Lincoln in his Worcester, page 44, where the son Nathaniel of Captain Daniel is represented as a bachelor of very eccentric or foolish notions and acts.  Perhaps the traditions and the grave stone belong to the son Richard. 

RICHARD HENCHMAN, or RICHARD HINCHMAN, Boston, son of Daniel Henchman, perhaps the eldest, a schoolmaster, was of Yarmouth, in 1686.  He went back to Boston soon after, was there in 1706, soon after went to Worcester, there died I suppose, but at what time Lincoln has not mentioned 

THOMAS HENCHMAN, or THOMAS HINCHMAN, Concord, removed early to settle at Chelmsford, freeman 1654.  He had Bridget, who married 28 November 1660, James Richardson, and perhaps other children.  He was Representative 1667, 71, and 76, Major of the regiment of Middlesex, and he died 18 July 1703.  Allen says he removed from Wenham. 

WILLIAM HENCHMAN, or WILLIAM HINCHMAN, Boston.  He married 20 January 1653, Mary Philbird, if the surname be correct, had William, born 29 January 1654; and Mary , 20 December 1655.  The name is often written agreeably to vulgar utterance, Hinksman, and sometimes Hinckesman.

 

RICHARD HENDER, Salem 1668.

 

WILLIAM HENDERSON, Dover 1679.

 

DANIEL HENDRICK, Haverhill 1645, had been of Hampton 1639, born about 1610.  He married at Boston, 8 April 1660, perhaps for 2nd wife Mary Stockbridge, daughter of John Stockbridge.  He was Representative 1681, and living 1690.  He probably had, all by first wife Dorothy Pike, daughter of John Pike, Daniel; John, born 1649; Jotham; Jabez; Israel; Hannah; and Dorothy.  Perhaps Sarah, who married 1 June 1682, Samuel Ingalls at Andover, was his daughter by second wife. 

JOHN HENDRICK, Newbury, son of the preceding.  By wife Abigail Morse, daughter of William Morse, had John, born 23 October 1678; Daniel, 6 February 1684; and William, 15 March 1688.

JOTHAM HENDRICK, Haverhill, son of Daniel Hendrick, took oath of fidelity 28 November 1677.

OWEN HENDY, OWEN HANDY, or OWEN HENDEE, Marblehead 1668. 

RICHARD HENDY, RICHARD HANDY, or RICHARD HENDEE, Norwich 1659.  He died about 1670, leaving Richard, born about 1667, and Caleb. 

RICHARD HENDY, RICHARD HANDY, or RICHARD HENDEE, Stamford, son of the preceding, was one of the first proprietors of Killingworth and in 1689 purchased land in Windham.  He married 1 March 1693, Sarah Smith, had Jonathan, born 17 March 1694; and she died 18 April 1694.  Next he married 17 October 1695, Elizabeth Conant, had Hannah, 25 December 1697; Sarah, 16 April 1700; Caleb, 12 March 1704, died young; Joshua, 25 April 1707; Elizabeth, 28 April 1710; Barzillai, 18 June 1713; Asa, 25 August 1715; Nathaniel, 10 August 1718; and Mary, 6 July 1720.  He died 6 February 1743; and his widow died 23 September 1762.

 

EDMUND HENFIELD, Salem 1669, master mariner.  In Remarkable Providences, by Increase Mather, 27, is seen his rescue, April 1681, of shipwrecked sailors in an open boat. 

JOSEPH HENFIELD, Salem.  He married Mary Gardner, daughter of Samuel Gardner, but after having Mary and Joseph, she did not live long.

WILLIAM HENFIELD, Salem.  He married 12 July 1671, Elizabeth Preston, had Elizabeth, born 4 July following; Hannah, 1674, died in few weeks; and Hannah, again, 4 March 1677.

ISAAC HENRY, Medfield 1675. 

JOHN HENRY, Topsfield, freeman 1690.

 

JOHN HENRYSON, Springfield 1661.  He had there by wife Martha, daughter Elizabeth, born 1663.  He removed to Haddam, there, or at Hartford, died after some years.  He had other daughters Mary, Miriam, and Sarah; only son James who lived at Hartford, but his progeny lived up the river.  In two or three variations the family name has been spelt; and that of the last impression is Henderson.

 

DANIEL HENSHAW, DANIEL HINSHAW, or DANIEL HINSHEW, Milton.  He was sent to our country with his brother in their youth, says a doubtful tradition was first of Dorchester.  He married Mary, widow of Nicholas Allen, who had been widow of Robert Pond, had Daniel, who died unmarried.  His wife died 19 November 1719, in 83rd year.

JOSHUA HENSHAW, JOSHUA HINSHAW, or JOSHUA HINSHEW, Dorchester, brother of Daniel Henshaw, 1670.  By wife Elizabeth Sumner, daughter of William Sumner, had William, born 2 March 1672; Joshua; Elizabeth, 25 July 1675, died in few days; Thankful, 4 March 1677; John, 29 May 1697; Samuel, 1 April 1682; Elizabeth again, 18 July 1684; and Catharine, 28 May 1687.  The wife and seven children above are named in his will of 3 April 1688, "being to undertake a voyage to England" but the instrument was not probated before 9 March 1723/1724.  In Genealogical Registrar is another child Exercise, born 15 December 1693, but this may be error. 

JOSHUA HENSHAW, JOSHUA HINSHAW, or JOSHUA HINSHEW, Boston, son of the preceding.  He married 1700, Mary Webster, had Daniel, born 1701; and Joshua 1703.

GEORGE HEPBURN, GEORGE HEYPBOURNE, GEORGE HEBORNE, or GEORGE HEPBOURNE, Charlestown 1635, leather-dresser, freeman 25 May 1636.  He had wife Hannah, and he died 9 February 1666.  In his will of 27 August 1665 names sons Ludkin, and Waite, who probably had married his daughters and children Richard, John, and Abigail, but perhaps this last was grandchild, also Sarah, Sally, and Rebecca.

 

HENRY HERBERT, Charlestown, died 22 October 1677.  He had first wife Elinor Miller, probably daughter of Richard Miller, and next married 9 June 1668, Elizabeth George, daughter of John George; and she died 23 July 1691, aged about 70. 

JOHN HERBERT, Salem 1637, the shoemaker from Northampton, England, who probably came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 23.  He had wife Mary, who was of the church there, though he was not, and therefore I conclude he was not, as Farmer thought, the freeman of 1641, yet in right of his wife he had Mary, baptized 29 March 1640; and John, 15 October 1643.  We easily accept the assertion of Farmer, that he went to Southold, Long Island though probably he went after 1668, when he petitioned against imposts. 

JOHN HERBERT, Boston.  He had Elizabeth, baptized 7 September 1679; and John, 31 January 1686, who died early next year.

JOHN HERBERT, Salem, perhaps son of the preceding.  He married 15 April 1672, Mary Follett, had John, born 7 August 1674.

JOHN HERBERT, Reading, was Captain.  He married 15 October 1684 Elizabeth Russell, widow of Nathaniel Graves, daughter of Honorable Richard Russell, and he died 1712.  His widow died 18 October 1714.  See Harbert. 

SYLVESTER HERBERT, Boston 1652, administered an inhabitant 26 July 1652.

 

BENJAMIN HERENDEAN, BENJAMIN HERNTON, or BENJAMIN HERNDON, and abbreviation being encouraged became BENJAMIN HEARNDALE, Providence 1646, short time, perhaps, at Lynn, next year swore allegiance May 1666.  He probably had sons Benjamin, John, Joseph, Thomas, and William, or some of them, for the oath of allegiance was taken at Providence by Joseph and Benjamin in May 1671; by the other three in May 1682.  His daughter Mary married 14 October 1675, Andrew Edmonds. 

BENJAMIN HERENDEAN, BENJAMIN HERNTON, or BENJAMIN HERNDON, and abbreviation being encouraged became BENJAMIN HEARNDALE, son of the preceding, was complained of in the General Assembly May 1681, for shooting at an Indians in the woods, on very slight excuse.  He died 8 September 1726, leaving Benjamin. 

WILLIAM HERENDEAN, WILLIAM HERNTON, or WILLIAM HERNDON, and abbreviation being encouraged became WILLIAM HEARNDALE, Providence, brother of the preceding.  He died 1727, his will being of 17 January 1727 and inventory 22 September 1727.  By wife Deliverance, he had Thomas, Elisha, William, Solomon, Preserved, Abigail, Esther, Kezia, Meribah, and Martha.

 

FRANCIS HERMAN, and NATHANIEL HERMAN, Braintree 1640.  See Harman.

 

BENJAMIN HERMAYES, Salem.  He died November 1666, according to Essex Institute II. 15.  From long acquaintance with the form of first letter in the surname, I doubt not, the same person sometimes appears as Fermais, and often as Vermayes.

 

JAMES HEROD, Newtown, Long Island 1656.  Perhaps this may be the same as Harrod.

 

EPHRAIM HERRICK, Beverly, son of Henry Herrick.  He married 3 July 1661, Mary Cross of Salem, where he then lived as Beverly was not then incorporated.  He had John, born 31 May 1662; Ephraim, 13 August 1664; Mary, 14 June 1667; Stephen, 15 March 1670; Sarah; Samuel, 4 June 1675; Timothy, 4 January 1681; and Ann, 20 November 1683.  He was freeman 1668, and he died 18 September 1693. 

GEORGE HERRICK, Salem 1686, came that year in the same ship with John Dunton, who, in his "Life and Errors," speaks kindly of him.  By wife Martha, had Martha, sons Howett, and George, posthumous born 2 January 1696.  He was a shopkeeper, yet an officer of justice, had hard work as marshal in the witchcraft infatuation.  He died 1695. 

HENRY HERRICK, Salem 1629, came in the fleet with Higginson, probably and, 19 October 1630, requested administration, and 18 May 1631 was sworn freeman.  He married Edith Laskin, daughter of Hugh Laskin of Salem had, besides other sons and daughters not named in his will, who probably died young, Thomas; Zechary, baptized 25 December 1636; Ephraim, 11 February 1638; Henry, 16 January 1640; Joseph, 6 August 1645; Elizabeth, 4 July 1647; John, 26 May 1650; and Benjamin;.  He was one of the founders of the church at Beverly 1667, and he died 1671.  Of these children Thomas, Elizabeth, and Benjamin died without children.  A few years since, a descendant Jedediah Herrick, Esq. of Hamden, issued an elegantly printed genealogy register of the family.  In sharing he propounds the probably of this ancestor being son of Sir William Herrick, ambassador of Queen Elizabeth to Turkey, and a member of Parliament in her reign, as well as in that of James I.  Even some slight conjecture is offered of the original descent from Eric, the Danish king, who invaded England as early as the days of Alfred. 

HENRY HERRICK, Beverly, son of the preceding.  By wife Lydia thought to be Woodbury, had Lydia and Joseph, both baptized 26 September 1666; Elizabeth, 6 December 1668; Samuel, 1670; and Jonathan, 1672.  He was freeman 1683.  He married next 1690, Sarah Giddings, daughter of John Giddings of Gloucester, and he died June 1702.  His widow died 1711.  He was of the jury in the witchcraft trials, 1692, and had the magnanimity, with his fellows, to ask forgiveness for the monstrous verdicts extorted from them by the dictation of the court, and universally delusion. 

HOWETT HERRICK, Salem, son of George Herrick.  He married 10 September 1715, Abigail Wheeler, had Jonathan, born 30 April 1717; George, 12 March 1721, died young; Abigail, 7 April 1723; Andrew, 28 April 1725; George, again, 24 January 1727; and David, baptized 8 May 1730. 

JAMES HERRICK, Newtown, Long Island, 1656, perhaps son of William Herrick, named his second son William, but we know not his first.  He died 1687. 

JOHN HERRICK, Beverly, son of the first Henry Herrick.  He married 25 March 1674, Mary Redington of Topsfield, had John, born April 1675; Mary, 1677; and Daniel, March 1679.  He took oath of allegiance 1678, and he died 1680. 

JOSEPH HERRICK, Salem, brother of the preceding.  He married 7 February 1667, Sarah Leach, daughter of Richard Leach, had Joseph, born 2 April 1668; Benjamin, 1 January 1670, died soon; John, 25 January 1671; and Sarah, baptized 4 May 1674.  He had 2nd wife Mary Endicot, married about 1678, it is said, but we can hardly imagine who she was.  He had Henry and Martin, twins baptized 26 January 1680; Benjamin, 1680, died young; Tryphosa, born 16 November 1681; Rufus, 21 November 1683; Tryphena, 9 April 1685; Elizabeth, 16 October 1686; Ruth, 29 April 1688; and Edith, 20 February 1690.  He was freeman 1690.  He married 3rd wife 28 June 1707, Mary March, daughter of George March of Newbury, who survived him.  She had been a widow when she married March. 

WILLIAM HERRICK, Southampton, Long Island, is by Farmer mentioned as one of the grantees in the Indians deed, 1640. 

ZACHARY HERRICK, Beverly, son of first Henry Herrick.  He married 1653, Mary Dodge, daughter of first Richard Dodge, had Mary, born 10 October 1654; Elizabeth, 2 March 1657; Henry, 1659; died young; Sarah, 16 October 1662; Martha, 5 August 1665; Hannah, 1669; Henry, again, 1671; and Abigail, baptized May 1674.  He died 29 May 1695, and his widow died 18 August 1710.  Four of this name had been graduates at Harvard and seven at Yale in 1834.

 

AUGUSTINE HERRIMAN, Saybrook 1651.  See Trumbull's Colony Record I. 219.  See, also, Harriman.

 

JAMES HERRING, Dedham 1642. 

THOMAS HERRING, Dedham, a freeman 1654.  He is otherwise unknown because his wife Mary Pierce, daughter of Robert Pierce, who in his will gave her portion of his estate was, by misreading of the name, given to Thomas Haven of Dedham, when there was no such person.  A John Herring was, in May 1687, engaged in London in receiving conveyance from Judith, widow and executrix of Stephen Winthrop, as he was purposed to come to New England.

 

GEORGE HERRINGBORNE, Boston 1664.

 

JAMES HERSEY, Hingham, son of William Hersey first of the same.  He married 15 December 1665, Mary Fearing, elder daughter of the first John Fearing of the same. 

WILLIAM HERSEY, Hingham 1635, freeman March 1638, artillery company 1652.  He had wife Elizabeth, who survived him, and died 24 March 1658.  His will of 9 March 1658, probated 29 April 1658, names sons William, John, and James, daughters Frances, Elizabeth, and Judith, of which some were perhaps born in England.  It also names grandchildren John Croad, son of Richard, who married Frances, 29 May 1656; and William Hersey.  Judith married December 1663, Humphrey Wilson.

WILLIAM HERSEY, Hingham, son of the preceding.  He married 1 September 1656, Rebecca Chubbuck, daughter of Thomas Chubbuck, had William, born 13 October 1657, and probably others.  In records at Hingham the name is found Hersie, as he wrote it, also Harsie, and Hearsey.  It has from early days been very prevalent in the town, and it may well be cause of regret, that we have not fuller genealogy account of the family.

WILLIAM HERSEY, of Hingham, the soldier in Johnson's company December 1675, was probably the grandson of the preceding.

 

FRANCIS HESSELDEN, Boston 1630.  He came probably with Winthrop as he was a very early members of the church and no more is known of him, but that he died was soon written against his name in the record.

 

ROBERT HETHERSAY, or ROBERT HITHERSEA, Charlestown 1640, Dover 1648, was of York 1651, acting against Godfrey in favor of Massachusetts but both became freeman 1652.  Haz. I. 575.

THOMAS HETT, Hingham 1637, cooper, had been a proprietor of Cambridge 1632.  He married Ann Needham, an early member of the Boston church, had Eliphalet, baptized 26 May 1639; and Thomas; besides Hannah, who married about 1664, William Hurry.  He was freeman 14 September 1642.  Winthrop tells the tale of her insane attempt to drown her children.  I. 236 and II. 65, 129.  He lived probably 1645 at Rehoboth [Baylies, II. 200], certainly at Charlestown 1658, [Frothingham, 153], but probably in that part which became Malden, where birth of son Israel, March 1654, is recorded.  He died 3 or 6 June 1668.  His daughter Mary married 6 February 1668, Nathaniel Frothingham; and Mehitable married 3 October 1673, Increase Turner.  His widow died 30 November 1688, aged 75. 

THOMAS HETT, Charlestown, cooper, son of the preceding.  By wife Dorothy Edmunds, perhaps daughter of Walter Edmunds, had Thomas, Eliphalet, and Dorothy, all baptized 22 February 1674, of which Eliphalet died 22 November 1690; Samuel, 22 August 1675, died soon; Mercy, 19 September 1680; Samuel, again, 5 November 1682, died in few weeks; Ann, 2 November 1634; Elizabeth, 11 December 1687, died at 3 years; and John, 24 November 1689, died at 14 months.  He was drowned 11 June 1692, aged about 48.  His widow married son of Deacon Joseph Kettle.

 

CHRISTOPHER HEWES, Haverhill 1646.

JOHN HEWES, Scituate 1632, called the Welshman.  He had before been at Plymouth, was living 1673, says Deane, who tells, also, that his daughter Mary married 1657, Jeremiah Hatch, and that his son John died 1661. 

JOHN HEWES, Watertown.  He married 9 March 1677, Ruth Sawtel, daughter of Richard Sawtel, had John, born 15 February following; Samuel, 27 October 1679, died at 6 months; and Elizabeth, 27 January 1681.

JOSHUA HEWES, Roxbury.  He came, says the church record, a single man about September 1633, probably in the Griffin, with Cotton and Hooker, freeman 4 March 1634.  Married 8 October 1634 Mary Goldstone, daughter of Henry Goldstone of Watertown, who died 23 August 1655 at Boston.  He had Joshua, born 19 October 1639, died two months after; Mary, 29 December 1641; and Joshua, again, 25 May 1644.  He was Representative 1641, artillery company 1643, a merchant of large transactions.  He was a Lieutenant sent with two others, March 1648, to inquire about complaints against Gorton's company at Warwick, over which Massachusetts always wished to usurp jurisdiction engaged in the Narraganset settlement of Wickford, whither he removed 1662.  In May 1663, was by Connecticut jurisdiction with others appointed.  But he had married second wife at Boston, 11 February 1657, Alice Crabtree, daughter of John Crabtree, and came back to Boston, where he had Hannah, born 28 October  1657.  He died 25 January 1676, aged 66.

JOSHUA HEWES, Boston, son of the preceding perhaps.  He died 1706. 

ROBERT HEWES, Lynn 1642. 

SOLOMON HEWES, perhaps of Roxbury.  He married 28 September 1700, Martha Calef, daughter of Robert Calef, but no more is heard.

 

HEWETT.  See HUET.

JACOB HEWINS, JACOB HUEN, or JACOB HEWENS, Dorchester, son of the preceding, brought by his father from England.  He married 24 February 1681, Martha Trescott, daughter of William Trescott, had Mercy, 28 January 1682; Martha, 1 October 1687.  He died 1691 without will, but his inventory was taken 10 September 1691.  He is called cousin, i.e. nephew in the will of Susanna, daughter of Thomas White.  His widow died before 9 August 1699, when her father made his will, and had married an Adams.

 

LEWIS HEWLET, Charlestown 1636. 

MATTHEW HEWLET, came to Boston 1634, in the Hercules, but in what town he first settled is unknown.

 

ANGEL HEWSTED, Stamford 1666-1674, a selectman.  The name appears with variations, perhaps in our day, Husted.  See Huested.

 

RICHARD HEYLER, or RICHARD HILER, came in the Christian, 1635, aged 22, and perhaps settled in Boston; but the spelling of the name at the London custom house was very uncertain.

 

JOHN HEYWOOD, Concord.  He married 17 August 1656, Rebecca Atkinson, daughter of Thomas Atkinson, who died 5 August 1665, had Rebecca, born 9 September 1657, died soon; Rebecca, again, 13 May 1660; John, 5 April 1662; and Benoni, 31 July 1665, died in few days.  Before the end of the year he married Sarah Symonds, had by her several daughters and William, 1674.  He was freeman 1670, and he died 11 January 1707.

 

ROBERT HIBBERT, ROBERT HIBBARD, or ROBERT HEBARD, Salem.  He with wife Joan, was administered of the church 17 May 1646.  Had child baptized Mary, born 27 November 1641; John, 24 January 1643; and Sarah, 26 September 1644; Joseph, and Robert, 7 May 1648; Joanna, 9 March 1651; Elizabeth, 1 May 1653; Abigail, 5 April 1655; and Samuel, 20 June 1658.  He lived in that part which became Beverly, there died 7 May 1684, aged 72.  Mary married Nicholas Snelling of Gloucester. 

ROBERT HIBBERT, ROBERT HIBBARD, or ROBERT HEBARD, Beverly, son of the preceding.  He had Robert, born 8 July 1676; Joseph, 15 May 1678; probably others, before or after, perhaps both.  He removed about 1698, and he died at Windham, 29 April 1710.

 

GILES HIBBINS, or GILES HIBBENS, Saco.  He married 1670, Mary Pennell.  Folsom, 188.  He died at Charlestown, 4 September 1693.

WILLIAM HIBBINS, or WILLIAM HIBBENS,  Boston 1639, merchant.  He was administered 28 September of that year with Ann, his wife.  He is then called gentleman, and I venture to guess, that he came in the Mary and John 1634, as his estates are enumerated among the first eight in the town's book of Possessions, prior to several who came before that year and perhaps he went back.  He was freeman 13 May 1640, and Representative 1640 and 41.  When he went with Peter and Welde to pray for protection from Parliament to the Colony, came back next year and was chosen Assistant 1643, till his death 23 July 1654.  His wife Ann, an uncomfortable subject for her bad temper in his life, brought no children but in June 1656, had prevailed.  On the majority to condemn her as a witch, and she was executed on that preposterous charge; yet she was permitted to dispose of her property by will to two sons John, and Joseph Moore of Ballyhorick, County Cork, Ireland, and John served as executor the year following.  Governor Bellingham was brother of Hibbens, if Mr. Haven was not misapplied (in the prolegomena of Vol. III. of Archaeology America. page lxix.), the epithet "sister," when she was, I imagine, related only as a church member.  If so, Governor Endicot was equally her brother.  One was Governor, one deputy when she suffered.

 

DAVID HIBBS, Watertown.  By wife Elizabeth, had David, baptized as was his mother 21 November 1686; and Elizabeth on 28 November 1686.  But he was dead before the widow brought the children to the ordination.

JOSEPH HIBBS, Watertown, perhaps brother of the preceding.  He had Abigail and Elizabeth, baptized 17 April 1687.  The name is a strange one; and Dr. Bond does not say that it is perpetuated in any part of the country.

 

DAVID HICHBORN, Boston 1650.  By wife Catharine, had Catharine, born 2 June 1654, and Solomon and David, twins 14 December 1661.  His wife died five days after (19 December 1661).  By perverted types in Genealogical Registrar XIII. 11, the name is given Titchburne.

 

BENJAMIN HICKOCKS, BENJAMIN HICOCK, or BENJAMIN HICKOX, Woodbury, son of Joseph Hickocks the first, of Waterbury.  He married 3 March 1697, Hannah Skeel, daughter of John Skeel of Stratford, had Sarah, born 23 July 1698; David, 4 March 1701; Mary, 15 September 1703; Hannah, 25 June 1705; Lois, 18 March 1709; Benjamin, 21 November 1711; Justus, 2 August 1714; Amos, 11 October 1717, died young; and Silas, 9 March 1721.  He was Deacon, and died 1745.  His widow died next year (1746).

JOSEPH HICKOCKS, JOSEPH HICOCK, or JOSEPH HICKOX, Farmington 1673, perhaps, after 1680, removed to Waterbury.  He next removed to Woodbury, there died 1687, leaving children Joseph, Benjamin, Mary, Elizabeth, and Samuel. 

JOSEPH HICKOCKS, JOSEPH HICOCK, or JOSEPH HICKOX, Woodbury, son of Samuel Hickocks of Waterbury.  By first wife had only Samuel, baptized September 1687.  He married 3 November 1697, Ruth Fairchild, had Ruth, born 31 July 1700; Stephen, 27 June 1702; Susan; and Eunice, 11 July 1706.  He died 1723; and his widow died 28 May 1728.

SAMUEL HICKOCKS, SAMUEL HICOCK, or SAMUEL HICKOX, Farmington 1673, brother of first Joseph Hickocks, removed to Waterbury.  There died early in 1695, when his children are named, Samuel, aged 26; William, 22; Thomas, 20; Joseph, 17; Stephen, 11; Benjamin, 9; Ebenezer, 2; besides Hannah, 24; Mary, 14; Elizabeth, 12, who was baptized at Farmington 12 November 1682; and Mercy, 6. Joseph and Stephen, probably his sons were of the first settlers of Durham.  Field, 115.

WILLIAM HICKOCKS, WILLIAM HICOCK, or WILLIAM HICKOX, Farmington, an early settler, possibly father of the two preceding who sold out his estate before they removed.   A Mr. Hickocks, a man of property was among New Haven people 1643, but not in the number 1646; but, as no more is told of him, we may presume he went home. The name varies at different times in the spelling.

 

DANIEL HICKS, Scituate, son of Thomas Hicks of the same.  He married says Colony Record 19 September 1657, Elizabeth Hanmore; and another record has him marrying September 1659, Rebecca Hanmer, daughter of John Hanmer.

EPHRAIM HICKS, Plymouth, probably son of Robert Hicks.  He married 13 September 1649, Elizabeth Howland, daughter of John Howland, and he died in three months (December 1649).  His widow married 10 July 1651, John Dickarson. 

JOHN HICKS, Newport 1639, Newtown, Long Island 1656, and Hempstead, Long Island.  He was a justice under commission from Connecticut 1664, and Representative of Hempstead the same year.

JOHN HICKS, a soldier at Hadley in Philip's war, may have been son of the preceding, or perhaps was from Boston.

PETER HICKS, Dorchester, probably son of Samuel Hicks.  Perhaps he married Sarah Mather, the young daughter of Joseph Mather, to whose only child Catharine, they were appointed guardians.  He removed to South Carolina, for the foundation of Dorchester there.

RICHARD HICKS, Boston 1649.  He had wife Mary, and by her had Timothy, born 2 May 1649; Mary, December 1654; Richard, 20 January 1657; Elizabeth, 25 July 1659; Thomas, 23 February 1662; and Rebecca, 26 March 1665.

ROBERT HICKS, Plymouth.  He came in the Fortune 1621, and his wife Margaret came in the Ann 1623, with her children who are presumed to have been 2 sons Ephraim and Samuel, and 2 daughters of which Lydia married Edward Bangs, and Phebe married perhaps 1635, George Watson.  He was, in 1618, a leather-dresser at London, or rather Bermondsey Street, Southwark.  He died 24 March 1647.  His will, made 28 May 1645, in which his grandchildren John Bangs and John Watson are mentioned, is abstracted in Genealogical Registrar IV. 282, as also is that of his widow Margaret in VI. 187. 

SAMUEL HICKS, Plymouth 1643.  He removed to Eastham, eldest son of the preceding.  He married 1645, Lydia Doane, daughter of John Doane, had Dorcas, born 14 February 1652; and Margaret, 9 March 1651.  He was Representative 1649, but in later days was of Barnstable, where he was engaged in promoting settlement off Dartmouth, to where he removed before 1670. 

SAMUEL HICKS, Dorchester, perhaps son of Thomas Hicks.  He married 27 September 1665, Hannah Evans.  He was freeman 1677.

THOMAS HICKENS, Stamford.  He had Ann who married after his death 2 January 1683, James Jupp of Norwalk.

 

ROBERT HICKSON, Eastham.  He married 26 September 1679, Sarah Brewster, or Sarah Bruster, perhaps daughter of John Brewster of Portsmouth. 

WALTER HICKSON, Hatfield, had been a soldier of Turner's company there in April 1676, from the East.  On 3 February 1679 he married Sarah White, widow of Barnabas Hinsdale, daughter of John White, had three children, and he died 3 April 1696.  Two of the children died early, John, born 7 November 1679; and Elizabeth, 26 January 1681; and Jacob, born 26 January 1683, being taken by the French and Indians at the assault on Deerfield, 29 February 1704, perished on the way to Canada.

 

ANDREW HIDDEN, Rowley 1655, died at good age, 1701. The name was perpetuated at Rowley.

 

HIDE. See Hyde.

 

EDWARD HIGBY, New London 1645, perhaps wife of John, may have gone about 1656, but it is uncertain whether to Hartford, whence he came, or to Jamaica, Long Island.  Was inn holder at Middletown, 1674, and probably of Long Island 1686. 

JOHN HIGBY, Middletown.  He died 1688.  He may have been of Hartford, first, had wife Rebecca, son Edward, who may have been the preceding and probably other children.

 

PETER HIGDEN, came with Anthony Thacher from Salisbury, in Wilts, and was probably lost soon after in the great storm of 15 August 1635, when his master was wrecked on Cape Ann.  Young's Chronicles of Massachusetts 486.

 

RICHARD HIGGINBOTTOM, New Haven, as tailor.  He married Elizabeth Munson, daughter of Thomas Munson, had Rebecca, born 12 October 1682.  He was a proprietor 1685, removed before 1692 to Elizabethtown, but came back to Connecticut lived at Stamford, where his name appears, 1701.  His wife Eunice died 1710, spelt in the record Hingambottom.

 

ABRAHAM HIGGINS, Salem 1637, says Farmer, but I doubt that

ALEXANDER HIGGINS is meant, as Felt names him, as that year having, grant of land.

BENJAMIN HIGGINS, Eastham, son of Richard Higgins.  He married 24 December 1661, Lydia Bangs, daughter of Edward Bangs, had Ichabod, born 14 November 1662; Richard, 15 October 1661; John, 20 November 1666; Joshua, 1 October 1668; Lydia, latter part of May 1670; Isaac, 31 August 1672; Benjamin, 14 June 1674, died young; Samuel, 7 March 1677; and Benjamin, again, 15 September 1681.  He died 14 March 1691.

JOHN HIGGINS, Boston.  By wife Susanna, had John, born 15 February 1656.

JONATHAN HIGGINS, Eastham, brother of the preceding.  He married 9 January 1661, Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Joseph Rogers, had Beriah, born 27 September 1661; Jonathan, August 1664; Joseph, 14 February 1667; and Mr. Hamblen adds Elizabeth, 11 February 1680; Mary, 22 January 1683; Rebecca, 30 November 1686; James, 22 July 1688; and Sarah, 18 October 1690.  But I doubt that these five last must have been by second wife.

RICHARD HIGGINS, Plymouth 1633.  He married 23 November 1634, Lydia Chandler.  He removed to Eastham 1644, and was Representative 1647-51.  He had Jonathan, born July 1637; Benjamin, July 1640.  He married second wife October 1651, Mary Yates, had Mary, born 27 September 1652; Eliakim, 20 October 1654; William, 15 December 1655, though Colony Record has 1654; Judah, 5 March 1657; Zeruiah, June 1658; Thomas, January 1661; and Lydia, July 1664.

ROBERT HIGGINS, Boston.  He married 2 November 1654, Susanna Westoe.  He was the public executioner.  He died May 1665.  Of this name were more families at Eastham in 1801, than of any, except Smith.

 

FRANCIS HIGGINSON, Salem.  He came in the Talbot, 1629 with wife and eight children of which Mary died on the passage, 19 May, at 4 years old.  He was, it is said, son of Reverend John Higginson, born 1588, bred at Jesus College Cambridge where he took his A.B. 1609, but was of St. John's when his A.M. was given 1613, though Mather asserts he was of Emanuel.  For several years he was minister of one of the parish churches in Leicester; but his growing dislike of conformity prevented him first from advancement, and next from comfort at home, so that he gladly accepted the desire by the Governor and company of Massachusetts for his emigration hither.  He was ordained 6 August 1629 at Salem.  He died in the August 1630.  A valuable memoir, written with his usual diligence by Reverend J. born Felt, is one of the best articles in Genealogical Registrar See VI. 105.  In it the writer assumes the position, as he had done in the Annals, I. 69-74, that Higginson was the author of "General Considerations for the Plantation in New England with an answer to several objections".  The admirable composition of that tract is not needed to enhance the amiable character of Higginson and perhaps Felt, on page 630 of his Ann. II. allows us to infer, that the Considerations were published with Higginson's letters after reaching New England contrary to his first position, that he published them about the time that he engaged to embark for America.  Differing from Dr. Young, he records Governor Hutchinson's phrase in the Collection 27, as a "positive declaration," and sensitively expresses his belief of it; yet surely no imputation on the integrity of Governor Higginson can be deduced from the language of Dr. Young.  Little criticism is sufficient to decide the main point.  "Reasons," good enough without doubt, Higginson had, and he was not bound to conceal them; but if comparison of style should leave any hesitation from the internal evidence, that the "General Considerations" came from another mind, the proof externally is abundant.  The pamphlet was not issued in London before October 1629; the letter of Higginson, 24 July at Salem, going with Endicott's dispatches, received at a meeting 19 September acknowledged by the Governor and company 16 October shows us that if the Reasons of Higginson accompanied his letter, it was another paper than that circulated in MS.  During the month before had it been printed Governor Winthrop would not have taken the pains to write it off for his son to show his uncle and aunt down in the country.  See Appendix A. 28 in Winthrop History I. Ed. 1853.  After Governor Cradock, on 28 July 1629, submitted his propositions for advancement of the settlement by transferring "the government  of the Plantation to those that shall inhabit there, and not to continue the same in subordination to the company here, as now it is, "all the puritans of old England were electrified by the anticipation of the hardship and the triumphs that awaited their cause in the world beyond the W. flood.  Nothing, could be more timely than this tract, preparation by Winthrop probably in consultation with Reverend leaders, White, Davenport, and others, and not unlikely with previous advice of Cradock; and he who had not been mentioned in the record from the grant of the charter in March 1629 to 15 October when he first attended a meeting was five days after chosen Governor though such important men as Sir Richard Saltonstall, Isaac Johnson, and John Humfrey, who were all in the Council of Assistants.  From the May before and of equal estate with him, were in the nominations for that office.  His widow Ann lived some years before and after 1636 at Charlestown, 3 years or two at New Haven, there died at the beginning of 1640.  His second son Francis, administered of the church at Salem 14 April 1639, went home, and studied at Leyden and other places on the continent.  He was established in the church of Kirby Steven, in Westmoreland, where he conformed.  He died 1672 in his 55th year.  Mather, Magnalia III. 75.  Timothy, the third son was a mariner, and died unmarried.  Samuel, the fifth son went with his mother to New Haven, there after her death was apprentice to Governor Eaton, took oath of fidelity 1 July 1644, at the same time with elder brother Theophilus; and Charles, born about 1628, was on death of his mother apprentice to Thomas Fugill of New Haven. these, by the family tradition became mariners, and it adds, that Samuel was Captain of a vessel of war in Cromwell's day, and died aged 44; and Charles, master of a Jamaican ship died aged 49.  Neophitus, seventh son born at Salem, and the only child born after leaving England except second Mary (whose existence I doubt), there born about 1630, was by Atherton Hough taken to bring up, and died unmarried as one account says, in 20th year but another in 25th.  Ann, born about 1623, married Thomas Chatfield of Guilford.

JOHN HIGGINSON, Salem, distinguished in the annals of that place, eldest son of the preceding, born 6 August 1616, at Claybrook, County Leicestate (which was dwelling of another family of the same name).  He came with his father, was freeman 25 May 1636, served as chaplain 1637 at Saybrook, but in 1641 went to Guilford, and was some years colleague with Reverend Henry Whitefield, whose daughter Sarah he married.  By her he had John; Nathaniel Higginson, born 11 October 1652, Harvard College 1670; Thomas; Francis, born 9 June 1660, went to England and was, it is said, sent to the University by his uncle Francis, but died at London, of smallpox, 1684; Henry, 22 December 1661, or 2, who died 1685 at Barbados, of smallpox; besides two daughters: Sarah married 1672, Richard Wharton; and Ann married 4 October 1682, William Dolliver of Gloucester.  On a design of going to England he came in 1659 to Salem, there was prevailed on to remain, ordained August 1660, and died among the most honored of our clergymen 9 December 1708.  He had second wife Mary Atwater, daughter of Joshua Atwater of Boston, only three months survived him.

JOHN HIGGINSON, Salem, eldest son of the preceding.  He married 9 October 1672, Sarah Savage, daughter of Thomas Savage of Boston, not (as in Genealogical Registrar VII. 18, told) eldest, but seventh child, had Mary, born at Boston, 27 or 28 September 1673, the same hour with her cousin Thomas Thacher; John Higginson, 20 August 1675, who was not (as Genealogical Registrar V. 48 calls him), Harvard College 1717, but father of that graduate (by his first wife Hannah Gardner); Thomas, 16 December 1677; Nathaniel, 1 April 1680; Sarah, 1 June 1682; Elizabeth 3 October 1684; and Margaret, 10 November 1686, who died in few months.  He was selectman, Representative 1689, and of the council 1700-19.  He died 23 March 1720.

NATHANIEL HIGGINSON, Salem, brother of the preceding, went to England 1674, and was some years employed in the mint under Lord Wharton, but in 1683 went out to India.  He was established as a merchant at Fort St. George, now Madras, and after served in the council, as Secretary, became Governor of that factory.  He married 1692, Elizabeth Richards.  He returned in 1700 with wife and 4 children to London, there died November 1708, of smallpox.  See Farmer's Memoirs of Graduates in Genealogical Registrar I. 34; and 3 Massachusetts History Collections VII. 196-222, for interesting correspondence with his brother.

THEOPHILUS HIGGINSON, New Haven 1644, son of Francis Higginson.  He had Theophilus, baptized 10 December 1648; and Samuel, born 26 August baptized 15 September 1650.  He died about 1657, at 37 years, leaving only son Samuel, who became it is said, a physician.  Six of this family have been graduates at Harvard.

WILLIAM HIGGINSON, Farmington, whose name is usually Higason or Higgison.  He married Sarah Warner, daughter of John Warner, had there baptized Margaret, Sarah, Elizabeth, 17 May 1691, and Mary, 10 January 1682.  He was a proprietor 1673.  He left no sons, nor is the date or place of his death known.  He is not reckoned of the preceding family.  Sarah married Clark Carrington, according to Bronson’s History of Waterbury page 143; but he had, on page 26, married him to Mary.

 

JOHN HIGLEY, Windsor.  He married 9 November 1671, Hannah Drake, daughter of John Drake, had born there John, 6 August 1673; Jonathan, 16, baptized 20 February 1676; Hannah, 13, baptized 17 March 1678; Catharine, born 7 August 1679.  He removed to Simsbury, there probably had more children and died.  He was, it is believed, from Frimley in Surry, a hamlet 8 miles from Farnham, about 30 miles from London.  Hannah married Joseph Trumbull, and was mother of first Governor Jonathan Trumbull.

ABRAHAM HILL, or ABRAHAM HILLS, Charlestown 1636, freeman 13 May 1640.  By wife Sarah Long, daughter of Robert Long, had Ruth, born 2 June 1640; Isaac, 29 baptized 31 October 1641; Abraham, 1 October 1643; Sarah, 19 August 1647, died soon; Sarah, again, October 1649, died same month; Mary, May 1652; Jacob, March 1657; and Zechary, much earlier than the last; about 13 February 1670 in Malden.  His estate was good, and widow Sarah administrator.  He is progenitor of numerous families.  His eldest daughter married 7 December 1659, William Augur.

FRANCIS HILL, or FRANCIS HILLS, Boston.  By wife Hannah, had Sarah, born 26 January 1664.  In utter despair of distinguishment for this work between those who spell with or without final s (for very often the same person appears under each form), I resolve to unite the two, but remark, that all the foregoing are usually seen without that addition. 

GERSHOM HILL, or GERSHOM HILLS, Malden, son of Joseph Hill.  He married 11 November 1667, Elizabeth Chadwick, daughter I suppose, of John Chadwick of Watertown, had Elizabeth, born February 1669; Mary, March 1672; and probably others.

JOHN HILL, or JOHN HILLS, Plymouth 1630, probably a servant or apprentice, withdrew next year to Massachusetts.  See the very curious letter of Plymouth Court to our Governor in Genealogical Registrar II. 240.  He may have been at Salem, and had grant of land 1650, and of Beverly 1659, where he was among the principal men 1681 and 82; or the man of this name at Lynn 1655, or of Dover 1649-72, or of Medfield 1656.  At least, we know that the Medfield man by wife Hannah, had Abigail, born 2 February 1659.  So common was this name, and one was freeman 1646.  This last by wife Hannah, had Abigail, born 2 February 1659; Samuel; John, 14 March 1661; Mary, 28 October 1662; Eliezur, 29 June 1664; Johnson, 1666; and Ebenezer.  He died 23 January 1718, leaving widow Elizabeth, who died 1 December 1719.

JOHN HILL, or JOHN HILLS, New Haven 1643, brother of Robert Hill, took oath of fidelity 1644.  He had no family and he died 1647.

JOHN HILL, or JOHN HILLS, Boston, perhaps brother of Valentine Hill, administered of our church 15 May 1647.  He married 16 January 1657, Elizabeth Strong, who may have been daughter, though to me, it seems more probably that she was sister of Elder John Strong.

JOHN HILL, or JOHN HILLS, Salem, wheelwright.  He married 26 August 1664, Lydia Buffum, daughter probably of Robert Buffum, had Lydia, born 30 March 1666; Elizabeth, 15 December 1667; John, 22 January 1671, and Robert, 11 September 1676; of who we know only that, in May 1666, he was witness to the will of Captain William Trask.  But by former wife Miriam, he had Miriam and Susanna.

JONATHAN HILL, or JONATHAN HILLS, Salem.  By wife Miriam, had Miriam, born 24 March 1658; and Susan, 31 July 1660; unless I mistake in reading of Essex Institute II. 151.

RICHARD HILL, or RICHARD HILLS, Charlestown 1638, cooper, perhaps brother of Abraham Hill, or Joseph Hill, or both.  He died unmarried 29 October 1639.  See his will, printed as that of Iles, which is the first copied into first volume of record of County Suffolk abstract In Genealogical Registrar II. 102, with a lucid explanation, Ib. 218.  Confirmation of the hypothesis of the modest writer, the late learned librarian of Harvard University.  I could have furnished by the reference to the other end of the same Volume I. of Suffolk Register of Deeds, where is given power of attorney from Henry, John, and William Iles, as also of Margaret Linton with her husband Thomas and of John Keene the sister and brothers of the testator, executed at Bristol, England to enable one Henry Hazard to receive all and singular, etc.

RICHARD HILL, or RICHARD HILLS, New Haven 1639.

SAMUEL HILL, or SAMUEL HILLS, Dorchester, son of John Hill of the same.  By wife Martha, had Martha, born 20 December 1667; John, 20 December 1669; Thankful, 31 January 1672; Mary, 31 August 1674, died at 2 years; Samuel, September 1676; Israel, 11 July 1679; Josiah, 1 January 1682; and Thomas, 8 June 1687.  In Morse, 101, is a statement of quite inconsistent facts.

SAMUEL HILL, or SAMUEL HILLS, Newbury, son of first Joseph Hill.  He married 20 May 1679, Abigail Wheeler, daughter of David Wheeler, had Samuel, born 16 February 1680; Joseph, 21 July 1681; Nathaniel, 9 February 1683; Benjamin, 16 October 1684; Abigail, 2 September 1686, died young; Henry, 23 April 1688; William, 8 October 1689; Josiah, 27 July 1691; John, 20 September 1693; Abigail, again, 27 June 1695; James and Hannah, twins 25 February 1697; and Daniel, 8 December 1700.

SAMUEL HILL, or SAMUEL HILLS, perhaps of Portsmouth, certainly of some part of New Hampshire.  Genealogical Registrar VII. 122, shows the marriage 28 October 1680 with Elizabeth Williams, and gives their children John, born 30 November 1681; Elizabeth, 7 November 1683; Mary, 6 April 1685; Hannah, 29 September 1687; Abigail, 29 September 1689; Samuel, 13 1696; Sarah, 28 July 1701; Benjamin, 2 July 1703; and Joseph, perhaps 1706.

SAMUEL HILL, or SAMUEL HILLS, Malden, son probably of Joseph Hill the second of the same.  By wife Sarah, had John, born 23 May 1695; Hannah, 10 October 1697; and Jabez, 24 June 1699.

TAHAN HILL, or TAHAN HILLS, Guilford, son of Robert Hill.  He had wife Hannah, but no children, and he died 1693. 

THOMAS HILL, or THOMAS HILLS, Roxbury, perhaps brother of William Hill, came in 1633.  He died next year (1634) in the family of Reverend John Eliot, in whose church record it is certified that he was a very faithful and prudent servant and good Christian.

THOMAS HILL, or THOMAS HILLS, Plymouth, freeman 7 June 1637.  He soon died or removed to Newport in 1638. 

THOMAS HILL, or THOMAS HILLS, Boston, a tanner.  He had married Elinor Munt, daughter of Thomas Munt, before March 1668.

THOMAS HILL, or THOMAS HILLS, Middletown.  By wife Mary, had Susannah, born 1678; Elizabeth, 1679; Thomas, 1682.  He removed to Hartford, there had John, 1692, and he died 1704.  He had others, daughters Mary and Sarah, for his will of 1704, names wife Mary, and children Mary Dudley, Elizabeth Dudley, Sarah Hill, Thomas and John.

VALENTINE HILL, or VALENTINE HILLS, Boston 1636, a mercer from London, I think, artillery company 1638, freeman 13 May 1640, and on Sunday following was, with Jacob Eliot, and ordained Deacon.  By wife Frances, who died 17 February 1646, had Hannah, baptized 17 March 1639; John, born 1 September 1640, died soon; Elizabeth, 12, baptized 19 December 1641, died young; Joseph and Benjamin, twins 19, baptized 23 June 1644, both died soon.  By second wife Mary Eaton, daughter of Governor Eaton, administered of our church 15 May 1647, he had John, baptized 22 August 1647; and Nathaniel, born 31 March 1660.  He was of great public spirit, grantee in 1641, with others, of the town, or Bendall's dock, and the week following was made a selectman, re-chosen 1642, 43, 44, 45 and 46.  He was interested in the lands at Dover, and probably lived some time there.  He was Representative 1652-55 and 57.  He died 1662.  His widow married perhaps John Lovering of Dover, and next, Ezekiel Knight of Wells.  Hannah married 24 January 1660, Antipas Boyce.

WILLIAM HILL, or WILLIAM HILLS, Dorchester, a man of note among the first settlers, probably came in the Mary and John, freeman 5 November 1633, was selectman 1636, and removed to Windsor, of which he was Representative 1639-44.  Thence removed to Fairfield, of which he was Representative 1652 and 53.  He perhaps had Sarah, who married 17 September 1646, Joseph Loomis at Windsor, and William, and possibly it may have been the latter, who was Representative 1669. 

WILLIAM HILL, or WILLIAM HILLS, Roxbury.  He came 1632, as a servant probably in the Lion, freeman 14 May 1634.  He married Phillis Lyman, daughter of Richard Lyman.  He removed to Hartford, had 2nd wife widow Mary Steele, daughter of Andrew Warner of Hadley; and there he died July 1683.  In his will names children William; John; Joseph, baptized 17 March 1650; Benjamin; Jonathan; Hannah Kilburn, wife of Thomas; Susanna Kilburn, wife of John; Sarah Ward; and Mary Hills.  Of two of the sons we know little.  Benjamin lived and died at Hartford.  Joseph settled perhaps at Glastonbury.  Always this family employed.  Final son

WILLIAM HILL, or WILLIAM HILLS, a wheelwright, aged 70, embarked at London in the James, July 1635, to come to New England but I know no more.

WILLIAM HILL, or WILLIAM HILLS, Dover 1657-71.

WILLIAM HILL, or WILLIAM HILLS, Fairfield, son of William Hill of the same, a man of distinction had been at Windsor in his youth, and, no doubt, at Dorchester in boyhood, though born in England.  He died 1684. inventory of his good estate is of 25 December 1684.  It was devised by the Court to widow Elizabeth and five children William, Eliphalet, Joseph, John, and Sarah.  The date of his father's death is uncertain but it was in the list of representatives so many years that probably the later ones are of the son.

WILLIAM HILL, or WILLIAM HILLS, Hartford, son of William Hill of the same.  He was buried at Hartford 15 August 1693, and in December 1693 seven children appear to divide the estate viz. Mary, aged 26; Phillis, 24; Hannah, 21; Ebenezer, 17; John, 14; Esther, 12; and Joseph, 10. 

ZEBULON HILL, or ZEBULON HILLS, Gloucester 1652, from Bristol, England, had grant of land before 1650.  He married 16 November 1651, Elizabeth Clark, daughter probably of Edmund Clark.  He removed to Salem, there had baptized 27 April 1662, Joanna, Elizabeth, and John; of which the second probably died young, and third was born 2 June 1659; Philip, born 24, baptized 28 December following besides Zebulon, Elizabeth, again born 1 February 1665; Mary, 25 January 1668; Abigail, 21 September 1670; and Sarah, 22 June 1675.  In his will of 1699 these are mentioned.  His son Zebulon Hill, in 1690, was master of a vessel going to Barbados.

ZECHARY HILL, or ZECHARY HILLS, Charlestown, son probably of the first Abraham Hill.  He married 24 September 1668, Deborah Norton, daughter of Captain Francis Norton, had Zechariah, born 10 November 1668 according to records at Middlesex, and Abraham only.  He died early.  His widow married Matthew Griffen.  Nineteen of this name had been graduates at Harvard in 1834, six at Yale, and seven at the other New England Colleges, says Farmer in MS.

 

ANTHONY HILLIARD, Hingham 1638.  He probably had family.  His daughter Mary, it may have been, who married 14 August 1664, John Farrow, second of the same.  Perhaps too he had at Hingham daughter Ann. 

BENJAMIN HILLIARD, Wethersfield, son of Hugh Hilliard, may be in town record Benoni, as keeper of the town herd, 1648.

BENJAMIN HILLIARD, Salem 1653.  He was killed at Hampton by the Indians 13 June 1677.

EDWARD HILLIARD, Salem.  By wife Martha, had Elizabeth, born 14 October 1658, but, no doubt, the last figure is wrong; and (if record be good), Mary, 30 May 1659; Edward, 16 October 1660; Sarah, 8 September 1662; David, 11 December 1665; Jonathan, 6 February 1668; and Joseph, 4 January 1673. Sometimes it is spelled Helliard.  Elizabeth married 14 September 1669, Gilbert Peters.  Mary married 30 August 1672, William West, it is said; but she was too young.

EMANUEL HILLIARD, Hampton 1649, lost in a boat, going out with six others, 20 October 1657.  He had probably Timothy. 

HUGH HILLIARD, Salem, freeman 3 September 1634, yet, as he is not named in Felt's list of church members, we may think he had belonged to some other church.  He had wife Margaret, sons Job and Benjamin; and he died early.  His widow married John Elson, who died 1648 at Wethersfield.  She took third husband Thomas Wright of Wethersfield, and she died 1671.  In her will of 1670, she names son Job, deceased, and his children, and Benjamin, whom we may presume to have been the older.  She had certainly no children by Elson, nor, probably any by Wright. 

JOB HILLIARD, Salem 1653, brother of Benjamin Hilliard, a fisherman.  His first wife Sarah died 14 October 1660.  He married 1 April 1661 Mary Oliver, perhaps daughter of Thomas Oliver, had Abigail, born 26 July 1662; Benjamin, 6 May 1664; Job, early in June 1669; besides, probably William; and Sarah.  He died March 1670. 

JOB HILLIARD, Boston 1689, perhaps son of the preceding.  By wife Mary, had Mary, born at Charlestown, 1706. 

TIMOTHY HILLIARD, Hampton, perhaps son of Emmanuel Hilliard of the same.  He had wife in 1669, a daughter of Joseph Merry of the same, whose name is not seen.  He took oath of fidelity December 1678.  I observe that by wife Apphia, he had Apphia, born 29 August 1686. 

WILLIAM HILLIARD, Boston.  He came in the Elizabeth and Ann, 1635, a carpenter, aged 21.  By wife Esther, had Esther, born 25 March 1642; and Mary, 7 June 1644.  Six of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard and two at the other New England Colleges.

 

ANDREW HILLIER, ANDREW HELYER, or ANDREW HILLER, Simsbury, son of John Hillier of Windsor.  He married Hannah Burr, daughter of Benjamin Burr, had only Hannah, born 1676.  He died 1697.  His will of February 1693 gives all his property to the daughter.  He had probably lived at Windsor first. 

HUGH HILLIER, HUGH HELYER, or HUGH HILLER, Barnstable, and been of Yarmouth, 1639.  There by wife Rose, had Deborah, born 20 October 1643; and Samuel, 30 July 1646; and he died in short time after.  His widow married 3 November 1648, Thomas Huckins. 

JAMES HILLIER, JAMES HELYER, or JAMES HILLER, Windsor, son of John Hillier.  He married 15 June 1677, Mary Dibble, daughter of Ebenezer Dibble, had James, born 28 January 1679; Elizabeth, 6 May 1680; James, 14 April 1683; and perhaps others.  He had second wife 30 March 1699, Mary Case, widow of William Alderman, daughter of John Case, and by her had Elizabeth.  Descendants remain. 

JOHN HILLIER, JOHN HELYER, or JOHN HILLER, Windsor.  He had John, born 3 June 1637; Mary, 25 December 1639; Timothy, 3 June 1642; James, 24 August 1644; Andrew, 4 November 1646; Simon, 25 December 1648; Nathaniel, 1 January 1651; Sarah, 25 August 1652; and Abigail, 21 August 1654.  He died 16 July 1655.  All the children except Nathaniel were living 1673. 

JOHN HILLIER, JOHN HELYER, or JOHN HILLER, Windsor, Hadley, and Northampton, son of the preceding.  He had at Windsor Elizabeth, born 8 December 1680; Ann, 8 May 1687, who died soon; left Timothy.  His name in the record is Hilliour, and often the family is called Hilliard. 

ROGER HILLIER, ROGER HELYER, or ROGER HILLER, Charlestown 1691.  He married Experience Hall, daughter of Richard Hall of Dorchester, had John, baptized 25 August 1689; and Sarah, 7 February 1692.  He died 10 September 1693, aged 32. 

WILLIAM HILLIER, WILLIAM HELYER, or WILLIAM HILLER, Duxbury 1639-43, a carpenter, was the first miller in town, says Winsor.

 

CHARLES HILTON, Dover, youngest son of Edward Hilton the first.  He outlived his father and I regret to say, that of him nothing more is known to me, except that he was of Exeter 1671, and that he died about 1683 or 84, unmarried and about 40 years old. 

EDWARD HILTON, Dover, brother probably younger, of William Hilton, a fishmonger, which means, I think, citizen of London of that company came and sat down, it is thought in 1623, at Dover and there lived near twenty years, then removed to Exeter.  He died early in 1671.  We know not the name of his first wife by whom he had Edward, born 1630, or, as Mr. Quint says, 1626; William, 1632, or 1628; Samuel; and Charles, who all administered his estate which was large.  After July 1650, he married Catharine Shapleigh, daughter of Alexander Shapleigh, and widow of James Treworthy, who outlived him, and he died 29 May 1676.  Perhaps he had other children as John and Jonathan, the latter name being found in the tax list at Dover 1659; one daughter who married Christopher Palmer; and Mary, who married Henry Moulton of Hampton.  Descendants to our day are in good repute. 

EDWARD HILTON, Exeter, eldest son of the preceding.  He married Ann Dudley, daughter of Samuel Dudley, granddaughter of the Governors Winthrop and Dudley, had Winthrop, a very prominent officer in the military killed by the Indians 23 June 1710; just after being chosen into the Council, and before taken his seat; Dudley, carried away by the Indians probably when his brother Winthrop was killed for he was never heard of after; Joseph, born about 1681; Jane; Ann; Mary, and Sobriety, as Farmer gives them, but he leaves us to guess, that the last was a daughter.  He died 1699.  Descendants of Colonel Winthrop Hilton, still enjoyed the ancestral fields, in one of which they show the gravestone on the spot he fell in, whose inscription is yet legible.  Jane married Richard Mattoon; Ann married Richard Hilton; Mary married Joseph Hall; and Sobriety married Jonathan Hilton. 

JOHN HILTON, Dover 1655, probably son of Edward Hilton.  He had grant of land 1660 at Exeter, and he may have removed to Middletown, where one of this name died December 1686, or January 87, leaving children Mary, aged 14; John, 11; Richard, 7, and Ebenezer, 8 months.  Yet it may be better to inquire for another John, as their father a John Hilton died 1705, says Farmer, in Boston.  But I doubt he was only a transient residence for no administration is found by me for twenty years.

RICHARD HILTON, Charlestown, son of second William Hilton.  He had wife Elizabeth Lord, who died 22 September 1718, aged 49, and he died 25 January 1721.  His children were of names unknown to me.

ROBERT HILTON, Wells, may have been son of Edward Hilton, or William Hilton, or of neither, yet probably a man of respectable standing, for in September 1685 his admonishers were Samuel Wheelwright and Francis Littlefield, two of the Chief men.

SAMUEL HILTON, Exeter, son of the first Edward Hilton, of who I can learn nothing, but that, with his brothers he administered on the large estate of his father and in 1689, united with so many others of the New Hampshire people to desire protection under Massachusetts jurisdiction.

WILLIAM HILTON, Plymouth, brother (I presume elder) of first Edward Hilton, a fishmonger of London, i.e. of that guild or company came in the Fortune, 1621, to Plymouth, having left his wife and two children to follow in the next ship Ann, 1623.  The letter he wrote in November 1621 is preserved In Young's Chronicles.  In the division of lands reference being made solely to the ship, in which any claimant came, we have the wife and two children as so entitled, without names.  As he removed to join his brother at Dover before the division cattle in 1627, we are not able to learn their names, though that of the wife probably a second one, Frances, is gained from a deposition in 1688, when she was wife of Richard White, in which she testified that 40 years before her husband William Hilton hired house at Kittery point of Nicholas Shapleigh.  And from Maine record I learn, that he, with prefix of respect, was there in 1648, 49, and 50, licensed to sell wine, keep the ferry, and have control of Great Island, so that we may be sure Coffin mistook another for him, in giving the church though he was of Newbury, when made freeman 19 May 1642, in which year he is called senior at Dover, and Representative 1644.  The date of his death is not known.  But in 1661 he was constable at Kittery.

WILLIAM HILTON, Newbury, son probably of the preceding, born in London.  He came, I doubt not, with his mother in the Ann, to Plymouth, 1623, had Sarah, born June 1641; Charles, July 1643, died young; Ann, 12 February 1649; Elizabeth, 6 November 1650, who married 22 December 1673, Timothy Cutler and William, 28 June 1633.  He was freeman 1653.  After death of his wife he removed to Charlestown.  He married 16 September 1659. Mehitable Nowell, daughter of Increase Nowell, had Nowell, born 4, baptized 10 May 1663; Edward, 3, baptized 4 March 1666; John, baptized 24 May 1668; Richard, born 13, baptized 18 September 1670; and Charles, again, 19, baptized 27 April 1673.  He died 7 September 1675.  His widow married Deacon John Cutler, and she died September 1711.  His relation with the church of Newbury was transferred to that of Charlestown 14 August 1670.  Besides the children before mentioned he had Mary, who married at Charlestown 2 October 1666, William Marshall, and died 15 July 1678, aged 33.  Budington, 192, refers to the "Relation of a discovery on the Coast of Florida," by a William Hilton, commissioner with two others in the ship Adventure, set out from Barbados, August 1663, public at London 1664; but he may be mistaken in his surmise, that this was our William.  It could not, probably be the first or second, may possibly be son of Edward; but it seems likely to be not of New England origin.  Hilton's relation is reprinted in Volume IV. of Force's Tracts, Washington 1846.  Great uncertainty is felt by the writers about the descendants of these two prominent early settlers.  But we may safely decide, I think, against Budington and Coffin, that the William Hilton, who in 1621 had wife and two children at London, was not the same, who had William, born at Newbury in 1653, and Charles at Charlestown in 1673.  He must have reached mid life before the death of Increase Nowell, was born 1638.

YORK HILTON, son probably of Edward Hilton, may be that freeman of 1652.

 

BENJAMIN HINCKLEY or BENJAMIN HINKLEY, Barnstable, probably eldest son of second Samuel Hinckley.  By first wife married 27 December 1686, says Hamblen, Sarah Cobb, daughter of Henry Cobb, had Benjamin, born 18 July 1694; Mary, 3 October 1696; Nathaniel, 30 June 1698, and Mercy, 1 September 1704.

EBENEZER HINCKLEY or EBENEZER HINKLEY, Barnstable, son of Governor Thomas Hinckley.  He married at Sudbury, November 1706, Mary Stone, had Rachel, born 1 November 1707.

JOHN HINCKLEY or JOHN HINKLEY, Barnstable, son of Samuel Hinckley the first.  He was probably educated by Reverend Samuel Newman of Rehoboth, as he was one of the witnesses to his will, 18 November 1661.  He married July 1668, Bethia Lothrop, daughter of Thomas Lothrop, had Sarah, born May 1669; Samuel, 2 February 1671; Bethia, March 1673; Hannah, May 1675; Jonathan, 15 February 1678; Ichabod, 28 August 1680; and Gershom, 2 April 1682.  His wife died 10 July 1694, and he died 7 December 1709.  He had second wife 24 November 1697, Mary Goodspeed, perhaps daughter of Benjamin Goodspeed.

JOHN HINCKLEY or JOHN HINKLEY, Barnstable, son of Governor Thomas Hinckley.  He married 1 May 1691, Thankful Trott, daughter of Thomas Trott of Dorchester, had John, born 29 March baptized 3 April 1692, died at 2 years; Mary, baptized 24 February 1695; Abiah, 24, baptized 28 March 1697; Thankful, 14, baptized 16 July 1699; John, again, 17, baptized 23 February 1702; and James, 9 May 1704. 

SAMUEL HINCKLEY or SAMUEL HINKLEY, Scituate, from Tenterden in Kent.  He came in the Hercules of Sandwich, 1635, with wife Sarah, and four children, Thomas Hinckley, the future Governor, Susanna, Mary, and Sarah.  His wife joined the church 30 August 1635.  He had Elizabeth, baptized next Sunday; Samuel, 4 February 1638, died soon; Samuel, again, 10 February 1639, died soon.  He removed 1640 to Barnstable, where he had Samuel, 24 July 1642, by Deane called Sarah; and John, 26 May 1644, before mentioned,  besides one daughter buried 8 July 1640, un-baptized, and twin children also buried 1641.  His wife died 18 August 1656.  He married 15 December 1657, Bridget Bodfish, perhaps daughter but more probably widow of Robert Bodfish.  He died 31 October 1662.  His daughter Sarah married 12 December 1649, Henry Cobb, as 2nd wife; and Elizabeth married 15 July 1657, Elisha Parker.  Other daughters named in his will are Susanna and Mary, who were both married.

SAMUEL HINCKLEY or SAMUEL HINKLEY, Barnstable, son of the preceding.  He married 14 December 1664, Mary Goodspeed, daughter of Roger Goodspeed, had Benjamin, born 6 December 1666, before mentioned.  His wife died in two weeks following (December 1666).  He married 2nd wife 15 January 1669, Mary Fitzrandle, daughter of Edward Fitzrandle, had Samuel, born 2 February 1670, died at 7 years; Joseph, 15 May 1672; Isaac, 20 August 1674; Mary, May 1677, died at two years; Mercy, 9 April 1679; Ebenezer, 2 August 1685; and Thomas, 1 January 1689.

SAMUEL HINCKLEY or SAMUEL HINKLEY, Barnstable, son of Governor Thomas Hinckley.  He married 13 November 1676, Sarah Pope, had Mary, born 22 July 1678; Mehitable, 28 December 1679; Thomas 19 March 1681; Seth, 16 April 1683; Samuel; Elnathan, died soon; Job, 16 February 1688; Shubael, 1 May 1690; Mercy, 11 January 1693; Josiah, 24 January 1695; and Elnathan, again, 29 December 1697.  He died 19 March 1698.  His widow married 17 August 1698 Thomas Huckens.

THOMAS HINCKLEY or THOMAS HINKLEY, Barnstable, son of the first Samuel Hinckley, born in England about 1618.  He came, probably with his father 1633, was Representative 1647.  He married 4 December 1641, Mary Richards, had Mary, born 3, baptized 4 August 1644; Sarah, 4 November baptized 6 December 1646; Meletiah, 25, baptized 26 November 1648; Hannah, 15, baptized 27 April 1631; Samuel, 14, baptized 20 February 1653; Thomas, born 5 December 1654; Bathshua, 15 May 1657; and Mehitable, 24 March 1659.  His wife died three months after (June 1659).  He married 15 March 1660, Mary Smith, widow of Nathaniel Glover of Dorchester (daughter of John Smith, born in Lancashire 1630), had Admire, born 28 January 1661, died in two weeks; Ebenezer, 22 February 1662, died in 2 weeks; Mercy, January 1663; Experience, February 1665; John, 9 June 1667; Abigail, 8 April 1669; Thankful, 20 August 1671; Ebenezer, again, 23 September 1673; and Reliance, 15, baptized 19 December 1675, being that Sunday of the great Narraganset fight, the hardest battle before that of Bunker Hill that ever occurred in New England.  Her father was then with the army, and Reverend Mr. Russell, the minister of the town, gave the name.  He was Representative 1645, and in 1658 chosen an Assistant of the Colony, the first Deputy Governor 1680, and Governor from 1681 to 1692, when the Massachusetts Charter absorbed the old Colony except during the time of Andros's power, to which he was a counselor named by the King.  He died 1706, in 88th year.  His wife died 29 July 1703, in 73rd year.  Of the daughters of the Governor we know the marriages of most; Sarah married 27 March 1673, Nathaniel Bacon; Meletiah married 22 October 1668, Josiah Crocker; Hannah married Nathaniel Glover, the second of Dorchester, son of her father's wife by former husband; Mehitable married Samuel Warden of Boston, and next, on 25 August 1698, William Avery of Dedham; Mercy married Samuel Prince of Sandwich or Middleborough, as his second wife; Experience married James Whipple; Abigail married 2 January 1698, Reverend Joseph Lord of Dorchester in South Carolina after of Chatham, Massachusetts; Thankful married 19 November 1695, Reverend Experience Mayhew of the Vineyard; and Reliance married 15 December 1698, Reverend Nathaniel Stone of Harwich.  It will be perceived that this account differs in a slight degree from that in Genealogical Registrar X. 229, furnished by the diligent antiquarian, W.F. Stone, Esq. from an old almanac of his grandfather Reverend Nathan Hinckley, who was grandson of Governor Hinckley. Of the error, that consists in making seven daughters of the first wife and four of the second marriage when we know there were five of the second and six of the first, all (except one who was his mother), aunts of the note maker; I gain the right to ask who can tell the wives.  Of the husbands Wyburn and Hall, for after many hours' search, at various times, that almanac fails to instruct me.  Baylies, IV. 139, 40, has largely portrayed his character.  Ten of this name had been in 1834, graduates at the New England colleges of which four of Yale, and Harvard and Dartmouth College had each two.

 

JOHN HINCKES, JOHN HINKS, or JOHN HINCKS, Portsmouth.  He came in 1672, was a provincial counselor 1683, and of Sir E. Andros's Council 1687, and Chief Justice of Supreme court 1699 to 1707. Samuel Hinckes, Harvard College 1701, may be his son.

 

JOHN HINCKSON, or JOHN HINKSMAN, Charlestown.  By wife Mary, had John, born 5 February 1683, baptized with sister Rebecca, 17 July, 1687; and Mary, 30 July baptized 5 August 1688.

PETER HINCKSON, or PETER HINKSMAN and SIMON HINCKSON, or SIMON HINKSMAN were of Scarborough 1671-76; and Peter, probably son of one of them.  He married 12 July 1698, Elizabeth daughter of John Parsons.

THOMAS HINCKSON, or THOMAS HINKSMAN, New Hampshire.  He married a daughter of Thomas Walford, but of him we hear no more, except that he died 1664.  Hincksman was the common perversion of Henchman.

 

JAMES HINDS, Salem 1637.  See Haynes.

 

THOMAS HINE, Milford 1646.  There the name continued and

THOMAS HINE, perhaps grandson of the preceding.  He married 18 November 1684, Hannah Bristoll, daughter of Henry Bristoll, had Thomas, Stephen, William, Elizabeth, Alice, and Samuel, made, Mr. Porter informs me, residence legatee, and his will mentioned sister Lane.  But certainly most of the children would have been (especially the daughters who bear surnames of husbands) by a former wife.  He died 1698, his inventory is dated 15 March 1697, i.e. 1698.

 

BENJAMIN HINMAN, Woodbury, son of Edward Hinman.  He married 12 July 1684, Elizabeth Lamb or Elizabeth Lumm, had Annis, baptized 1680, died young; Hannah, October 1686; Adam, January 1688; Noah, July 1689; Benjamin, April 1692 Elizabeth, February 1694; Eunice, May 1696; Annis, again, September 1697; Rachel, December 1700; Edward, October 1702; Samuel, December 1704; Wait, October 1706; and Mercy December 1709.

EDWARD HINMAN, Stamford, before 1650, removed to Windsor.  He married Hannah Stiles, daughter of Francis Stiles.  He removed to Stratford, 1653, and he died 26 November 1681.  His children were Sarah, born 1653; Titus, 1656; Samuel; Benjamin, 1662; Hannah, 1666; Mary, 1668; Patience, 1670; and Edward, 1672.

EDWARD HINMAN, Stratford, son of the preceding.  By wife Hannah, had Samuel, John, and Ebenezer, besides nine others.

SAMUEL HINMAN, Southbury, brother of the preceding.  He had wife Sarah, but no children.

TITUS HINMAN, eldest son of the first Edward Hinman.  He married Hannah Coe of Stamford, and next, January 1702, Mary Hawkins, whose father is not told or that of the first.  He was Captain and Representative 1715, and later.  He died April 1736, leaving Ephraim, baptized 26 July 1685; Joseph, June 1687; Andrew, born April 1690; Titus, June 1695, died probably young; Ebenezer, 4 January 1703; Titus, again, 4 March 1704 Eleazer, May 1706; and Timothy, baptized March 1709; besides Mary, born February 1714, who married David Bostwick; Hannah, March 1721, married Samuel Twitchell; and Patience, July 1722.  Descendants of the ancestor make a numerous list in the catalogue of Puritan settlers of Connecticut, by one in the fifth generation Royal R. Hinman, late Secretary of that State; but I lament that the date of coming of the progeny as a child or of his parents is not ascertained.  Of this indefatigable antiquary we must regret, that his assiduity was greater than his success.

 

BARNABAS HINSDALE, BARNABAS HENSDELL, or BARNABAS HINDSELL, sometimes BARNABAS ENSDELL, Hatfield, son of Robert Hinsdale.  He married 15 October 1666, Sarah White, widow of Stephen Taylor of Hadley, daughter of John White (who for third husband had Walter Hickson), by her had Barnabas, born 20 February 1668; Sarah; Elizabeth, 29 October 1671; born 1667; Isaac, 15 September 1673; and Mary, 27 March 1676.  He removed to Deerfield, there was killed by the Indians in the fight, 18 September 1675, at Bloody brook.  Both his sons had families at Hartford.

EPHRAIM HINSDALE, EPHRAIM HENSDELL, or EPHRAIM HINDSELL, sometimes EPHRAIM ENSDELL, Hatfield, brother of the preceding.  He married 28 September 1676, Mary Plimpton, daughter of John Plimpton, had John, born 1677; and two daughters Experience, 1679; and Mehitable, 1681.  He had removed to Deerfield, but came back, and he died 1681.  Experience married Nathaniel Clark of Medfield; and Mehitable married Nathaniel Wright of the same place.

GAMALIEL HINSDALE, GAMALIEL HENSDELL, or GAMALIEL HINDSELL, sometimes GAMALIEL ENSDELL, Medfield, is probably error, for Samuel.

JOHN HINSDALE, JOHN HENSDELL, or JOHN HINDSELL, sometimes JOHN ENSDELL, Deerfield, brother of Ephraim Hinsdale, killed at the same time with his father in Philip's war.  Perhaps he had family for one John Hinsdale died at Deerfield, 1705, whose estate was given to a brother and four sisters and all may have been child of this sufferer.

SAMUEL HINSDALE, SAMUEL HENSDELL, or SAMUEL HINDSELL, sometimes SAMUEL ENSDELL, Hadley, son of the preceding.  He married at Medfield, 31 October 1660, Mehitable Johnson, perhaps daughter of Humphrey Johnson of Roxbury, had Mehitable, born 18 October 1663.  He is, perhaps, the same, who in records of birth at Dedham was called Gamaliel.  By wife Elizabeth, had Ann, born at Hadley 22 February 1666.  He removed to Deerfield, there had Nahuman, the first male, born in the town.  He was killed by the Indians 18 September 1675, leaving besides these two, three daughters of which Sarah married 1692, Samuel Janes; and son Samuel, who went to Medfield, was a tanner, died January 1730, leaving widow Abigail.  Nahuman Hinsdale was father of Ebenezer Hinsdale, Harvard College 1727, ordained 12 December 1733, who was a missionary, and chaplain at Fort Dummer, but became a Colonel and gave his name to the town of Hinsdale in New Hampshire, as also of Samuel, and John.  His widow Mehitable married John Root.

GROVE HIRST, Boston, merchant, son of William Hirst.  He married (17 August 1700, as the blundering writer mistaking the Arabic numerous of month in his town record says; but he himself says 17 October 1700) Elizabeth Sewall, daughter of Chief Justice Samuel Sewall, had Mary, born 31 January 1701; Samuel Hirst, 23 October 1705, Harvard College 1723; Elizabeth 20 October 1706; Hannah, 4 May 1708; Jane; William, 9 July 1712, died soon; and William, again, 5 August 1714, died soon.  His wife died 10 July 1716; and he died 28 October 1717, only four days before his father.  His will was of 25 October 1717, and gave liberally.  Mary married William Pepperell, who was made a baronet for conquest of Louisburg.

ELIAKIM HITCHCOCK, New Haven, son of Matthew Hitchcock.  He married 4 November 1667, Sarah Mirick of Springfield, had John, born August 1668, died young; Sarah, 16 October 1669; Hannah, 19 March 1672; Thomas, 1674; Matthias, 1 April 1676; Samuel, 7 March 1678; Eliakim, 2 October 1680; John, 1 November 1683; and Joseph, 23 July 1686.  He was a proprietor in 1685.  He died 1704, and his widow died 1713.

ABRAHAM HOADLY, ABRAHAM HOADLEY, or ABRAHAM HODLEY, Guilford, son of the first William Hoadly of the same.  By wife Elizabeth married 14 March 1698, had Rachel, born 21 August 1701; Abe, 24 December 1705; and Jonathan.  He died January 1746.

JOHN HOADLY, JOHN HOADLEY, or JOHN HODLEY, Guilford 1639-58, one of the seven pillars at founding of the church 1643; 1 Massachusetts History Collections X. 92.  He was born January 1617, perhaps at Rolvenden, County Kent.  He came with some relatives in April 1639.  He married 14 July 1642, Sarah Bushnell, who had been passenger in the same ship with him, perhaps daughter of Francis Bushnell, had Samuel, born 30 September 1643; John, 3 January 1645, died in few weeks; John, again, 3 June 1647, died soon; Athia, 7 June 1648, died under 16 years; John, again, 8 April 1650; Nathaniel, 7 June 1652, died under 5 years; and Stephen, 17 or 24 May 1654, died at 3 weeks.  Late in 1653 he, leaving his family here, went home, and was noticed by Cromwell, who made him one of his court chaplains, says tradition in Connecticut but it was for the garrison in Edinburgh castle, whither his wife and children following him in 1655.  There he had three more children and removed thence in 1662 to Rolveden, where he had two more, and he died 28 July 1668.  His wife died 1 November 1693, and was buried at Halsted, in Kent, where her son John Hoadly under different ordination from his father was rector.  His son Samuel Hoadly was father of Benjamin Hoadly, the famous liberal Baptist of Bangor, in time of George I. and of John, archbishop of Armagh.

JOHN HOADLY, JOHN HOADLEY, or JOHN HODLEY, Guilford, son of William Hoadly of the same.  He married 30 October 1701, Mercy Crane, daughter of Henry Crane, had Thomasine, born 25 November 1702; Mary, 1704; Hannah, 1707; John, 1709; Joseph, 1711; Abigail, 1713; Dinah, 1715; Nathaniel, 1719; and a daughter 25 August 1725, who died soon.  He died at Branford, 1 November 1725.  Whether he were of kin to the preceding is not certain, but seems sufficiently probable.

SAMUEL HOADLY, SAMUEL HOADLEY, or SAMUEL HODLEY, Guilford, brother of the preceding.  He married 6 March 1689, Abigail Farrington, had Abigail, born 5 January 1690; William, 10 December 1692; Hannah, 14 December 1694; Samuel, 20 February 1696; Gideon, 17 April 1699; Lydia, 23 December 1701; Benjamin,  20 July 1704; Daniel, 1706; and Timothy, 14 July 1709.  He died January 1713.

WILLIAM HOADLY, WILLIAM HOADLEY, or WILLIAM HODLEY, Branford, an early settler probably born in England, one of the covenant planters 1667; had been of Saybrook; 1663, and was a merchant.  By wife Mary had William; Samuel; Elizabeth, born 15 February 1668, probably died young;  Hannah, 8 November 1670; Abraham; John; and Mary.  He was Representative 1678, and several times after.  His wife died 12 May 1703, and he had second wife Ruth Bowers, widow of John Frisbie, daughter of John Bowers, but no issue by her.  He died 1709 leaving good estate.  Mary married Nathaniel Finch; and Hannah married Nathaniel Johnson.  The name was written by him, Hoadle.

WILLIAM HOADLY, WILLIAM HOADLEY, or WILLIAM HODLEY, Guilford, eldest son of the preceding.  He married Abigail Frisbie, perhaps daughter of John Frisbie of the same, had Mary, born 28 May 1691; Hannah, 27 April 1693; and Jemima, 24 March 1696.  For second wife he had Elizabeth, who was divorced 1702, from her first husband and by her, had William, born 1707; and Lydia.  Sometimes the first syllable drops the a.  Three of this name had been graduates at Yale in 1834 and one at Trinity.

 

JOHN HOAG, Newbury, a weaver, born says Coffin, 1643.  He married 21 April 1669, Ebenezer Emery, daughter of John Emery, had John, born 20 February 1670; Jonathan, 28 October 1671; Joseph, 16 January 1677; Hannah, 3 January 1683; Judith, 20 April 1687; and perhaps others.  Descendants are numerous in New Hampshire.

 

DANIEL HOAR, Boston 1650, probably brother of Leonard Hoar, the President named in his will.  He went home and died at London.

BENJAMIN HOAR, Bristol, son of William Hoar.  By wife Rebecca, had Hannah, and he died soon.  His mother took the child who was baptized 26 September 1708. 

DANIEL HOAR, Concord, son of John Hoar.  He married 19 July 1677, Mary Stratton, daughter of Samuel Stratton, had John, born 24 October 1678; Daniel, about 1680; Leonard; Jonathan; Joseph; Benjamin; Mary, 14 March 1689; Samuel, 6 April 1691; Isaac, 15 May 1695; David, 14 November 1698; and Elizabeth 22 February 1701.  He took second wife 16 October 1717, Mary Lee.  He lived long and, was, I presume, that soldier under sentence of death with Nathaniel Wilder, for killing one or more Indians in 1676, who had probably served in our cause; but both were discharged by our General court on payment of a sum of money to the Indians and costs of prosecution.  See Col Record V.

HEZEKIAH HOAR, Scituate, brother of John Hoar, was one of the first purchasers of Taunton.  He there had Mercy, born 31 January 1654; Nathaniel, 31 Mar 1656; Sarah, 1 April 1658; Elizabeth, 26 May 1660; Edward, 25 September 1663; Lydia, 24 March 1665; Mary, 22 September 1669, and Hezekiah, 10 November 1678.  Deane says he was Ensign in the expedition that was proposed against the Dutch of New York in 1654.  Baylies, II. 267, 71, and 7.  Lydia married 16 November 1688, John Whipple but who he was, I fail to discover; and Sarah married 25 February 1692, Nicholas Stoughton, as his second wife.

JOHN HOAR, Scituate 1643, I believe came some years before with his mother Joanna, brothers Daniel Hoar and Leonard Hoar, and sister Margery, and Joanna.  He removed to Concord 1660.  He had wife Alice, only son Daniel, born 1650, before mentioned, who was great grandfather of the late Honorable Samuel Hoar of Lincoln, who died 1832 in 89th year.  Bond is not answerable for an absurd tradition that his father was a "wealthy banker of London, who died soon after his arrived at Boston." John is, in Genealogical Registrar XII. 111, made husband of that Joanna, who was mother of Daniel, Hezekiah, John, and President Leonard Hoar; but, I suppose, this is only a conjecture.

LEONARD HOAR, Cambridge, brother of John Hoar, born in England, but never has it been known who was the father who we therefore presume, did not come to our land.  His mother Joanna, who died at Braintree, 21 December 1661, brought the three sons and daughters: Margaret, who was probably the eldest child and married Reverend Henry Flint, and died 10 March 1687; and Joanna, who married 26 July 1648, the second Edmund Quincy.  He was graduate at Harvard College 1650, went to England.  He was minister at Wenstead, Essex, about 7 miles from London, and one of the ejected under the Bartholomew Act.  He took the degree of M.D. at the University of Cambridge, 1672, and came again hither to preach by invitation at Third, or Old South Church but with commendations from strong friends in London, that he should be made President of the College to succeed Chauncey, late December.  He arrived 8 July 1672, and same month was chosen to the office; but was sadly unfortunate in his place.  A combination against him of three of the corporals created such difficulty that all the students left the Institution.  And in March 1675 he resigned, as the General Court in October preceding had, not indistinctly, desired, though on his coming two and a half years before they had voted a salary half as much again as they gave Chauncey on the sole condition that Hoar be elected.  On 28 November 1675 he died probably of broken heart for his treatment, aged only 45 years.  Cotton Mather was then one of the undergraduates and may, perhaps, believed in what he says of "the unhappy countenance of several very good men," towards the ungovernable youths in their ungovernableness, at least as to the latter portion he was an unwilling, if we may presume he could have been, a witness.  See Magnalia IV. 129, among the best, though characteristic pages of that strange work.  Contemporary documents should be referred to in the Collection of Hutchinson 435, 45, 52, 64, and 71; but the noble History of Universities by Quincy, I. 31-5, may seem to be adequate in its decision.  His wife Bridget was daughter of that lady, sacrificed by the detestable government  of James II and his worthy Chief Justice Jeffries, 2 September 1685, and of John Lisle, the regicide a lawyer of distinction made by Cromwell one of his Commissioners of the Great Seal, sometimes called erroneously, Lord Lisle because the Protector summoned him to the "other house," who met a death by violence, after the restoration, in Switzerland).  We know not of any children but daughter Bridget, born at Cambridge, 13 March 1673, who went with her mother 1687, to England, and before her return 1697, after death of her second husband, the daughter married Reverend Thomas Cotton, a minister of London, who was a most liberal benefactor of Harvard College. The daughter of the President had married probably December 1676, (and she long outlived) the 2nd Hezekiah Usher, with whom she was not happy, and died 25 May 1723.  Farmer mistook, I presume, for that of one of the daughters of the President. The name of Tryphena, sister of the wife of the President who married first, a Lloyd, and before the daughter of her sister a Grove.  This Tryphena was, probably mother of the wife of Lord James Russell, fifth son of William, first Duke of Bedford, and after his death which was on 22 June 1712.  He married Sir Henry Houghton, and died 1 September 1736.  See Collins's Peerage.  This lady and her mother wrote after the death of Mrs. Usher, sister of one, and aunt of the other; to Chief Justice Sewall who had many years before known them, when in his visit to England 1689; and in return he sent the mourning ring that had been presented for Lord James's daughter.  A greater mistake may be observed in an Art. of Genealogical Registrar IV. 92, where Leonard Cotton, who was of Hampton Falls, New Hampshire and chief mourner at the funeral of his grandmother Madam Usher, in Boston, son of that Reverend Thomas Cotton (of course great grandson of John Lisle), is made to marry Alicia, daughter of "Lord John Lisle aforesaid" therefore sister of his grandmother.  Against such matches, the Levitical institute or the law of nature, is not often necessary to be invoked.

NATHANIEL HOAR, Taunton.  He married 2 February 1682, Sarah Wilbore, perhaps daughter of Shadrach Wilbore, the honorary town clerk, had Abigail, born 2 November 1682.

RICHARD HOAR, Yarmouth, who was Representative 1641, 42, and 50.  He may have hardly been brother of Leonard Hoar, as was supposed by Baylies.

SAMUEL HOAR, Concord, freeman 1682.

WILLIAM HOAR, Salem 1659.  He may have removed to Boston, where a baker of this name, who married 1669, Hannah Wright, daughter of Robert Wright, was freeman 1671.  He had William, born 1 February 1671, died at two months; Samuel, 6 May 1673, died at 7 months; Joseph, 15 March 1675; Benjamin, 5 September 1680; Paul, 23 December 1682; William, again, 1 March 1685; and Hannah, 5 March 1687.  He was of Bristol in February 1689, with wife, three children, and three servants.  Dorcas, of Beverly, a widow sentenced to die for witchcraft, in the sad September 1692, was not executed says Hutchinson II. 58, and probably saved her life by confessing of the idle or ideal crime after conviction. Seven of this name have been graduates at Harvard,

 

CALEB HOBART, Hingham, son of Thomas Hobart, born in England.  He married 20 January 1658, Elizabeth Church, daughter of Richard Church, who died in less than two years.  In April 1662, he married Mary Eliot, daughter of Francis Eliot of Braintree, whither he removed before 1697, but was of Hingham 1671, and freeman that year.  He had Mary, born 11 February 1663; Caleb, 23 May 1665; Elizabeth, 12 June 1666; Hannah, 11 December 1668; and Josiah, 11 December 1670.  His second wife died 22 July 1675, and he took 3rd wife Elizabeth Faxon, daughter of Richard Faxon, married 15 January 1676, had Benjamin, 13 April 1677.  He died 4 September 1711, in 89th year and the gravestone, close to his, marks the resting-place of his last wife Elizabeth who died 9 August 1704, aged 71.

DANIEL HOBART, Hingham, son of the second Edmund Hobart, married 11 October 1677, Elizabeth Warren, daughter of John Warren of Boston, had Elizabeth, born 17 September 1678; John, 1 December 1680; both died young; Joshua, 7 March 1683; Jeremiah, 5 November 1684, died soon; Mary, 19 August 1686; Daniel, 27 February 1688, died soon; and Joseph, 6 September 1692, died next day.  His wife died 2 January 1696, and he married 11 May 1704 widow Patience Jones.

DAVID HOBART, Hingham, son of Reverend Peter Hobart.  He married Joanna Quincy, daughter of second Edmund Quincy, had Judith, born 21 June 1681; Peter, 24 September 1684, died in three days; Jael, 20 June 1688; Deborah, 10 June 1690; and Rebecca, 7 January 1693.  The wife died 18 May 1695.  He married at Boston 4 December 1695 Sarah Joyce, had Nehemiah Hobart, 27 April 1697, Harvard College 1714; Joseph, 11 April 1699; David and Sarah, twins 14 March 1702; Lydia, 9 January 1704; and Noah Hobart, 2 January 1705, Harvard College 1724, who was the ancestor of the late Honorable John Sloss Hobart.  He was freeman 1681, Representative 1692, under new charter and 1696, and continued the Journal of his father but not with equal fullness.

EDMUND HOBART, Hingham.  He came with wife, children Joshua, Rebecca, and Sarah, perhaps, also, Thomas, and his wife and children in 1633, with intent to satisfy inquiry of his neighbors in old Hingham.  He was first at Charlestown, freeman 4 March 1634, and constable the same year went.  As one of the first settlers 1635 to Hingham, was Representative 1639-42, and he died 8 March 1646.  Edmund, Joshua, Reverend Peter, Thomas, and two daughters I see reason to infer, that a widow Lyford, who he married late in life, was relict of that Reverend John Lyford who was at Plymouth the first disturber of their church.  My inference was clearly probable by History Collections of the Essex Institute I. 35.

EDMUND HOBART, Hingham, son of the preceding, was of Charlestown 1633.  With wife Elizabeth, administered of the church a month before his freeman 3 September 1634.  He died February 1686, in 82nd year.  He had John, baptized 10 April 1642; Samuel, 13 April 1645; Daniel, born 2 March 1650; besides Elizabeth, baptized 19 July 1635, at Charlestown who married 12 April 1658, John Tucker; and Martha, wife of Joseph Basset.  His will of 25 June 1684, probated March 1686, names the sons Samuel and Daniel, daughters Elizabeth and Martha, besides granddaughter Hannah, daughter of son John, deceased, and granddaughter Mary Manning, who was probably child of a deceased daughter Sarah, wife of Return Manning.

ENOCH HOBART, Hingham, son of first Joshua Hobart.  He married 7 August 1676, Hannah Harris, daughter of Thomas Harris, had Hannah, born 12 August 1677, died soon; Ruth, 1678; Hannah, again, 8 December 1680, Thomas, 31 March 1683; and Deborah, 4 November 1685, died young.  He was freeman 1678.

GERSHOM HOBART, Groton, son of Reverend Peter Hobart, was of Hingham several years, and freeman 1673.  He was a minister ordained at Groton 26 November 1679, and though dismissed by the hearers in December 1685, he continued to preach there occasionally for almost 20 years more.  By wife Sarah, had Dorothy, born 10 June 1686, and Joanna, 30 December 1696, besides others, of which some were of undetermined dates.  Butler's valuable History of Groton shows that his sons Gershom, Shubal, or Shubael, and Peter perpetuated the name there.  He died 19 December 1707; and his widow died 14 April 1712.

ISRAEL HOBART, Scituate, brother of the preceding, a shipwright.  He married 30 December 1668, but Deane strangely says 1674, Sarah Wetherill, daughter of Reverend William Wetherill.  He lived at Hingham until his house was burned by the Indians 20 April 1676, after which he removed to Scituate.  He had Sarah, born 30 May 1670; Nathaniel, 1675; and Rebecca, 1676; all at Hingham; Nathan and Abigail, twins 1678; Jael, 1680; Israel, 1682, died soon; Abigail, again,  1683; and Israel, again, 1686, all at Scituate.  He died 1731.  His will of 1729, gave estate to Israel, Abigail, these daughters of his daughter Sarah Brock, viz. Mary Witherton, Grace Davis, and Bathsheba Bradford; and made his daughter Jael executrix.

JAPHET HOBART, Hingham, brother of the preceding.  He went to England before 1670 as a surgeon, intended to go to England, but was not heard of after. 

JEREMIAH HOBART, Topsfield, brother of the preceding, born in England, freeman 1653, ordained 2  October 1672, but after uncomfortable service, was dismissed 21 September 1680.  He removed to Hempstead, Long Island, there was again settler 1682, and again dismissed.  He went to Haddam, there was installed 14 November 1700, and he died 6 November 1715, on Sunday, between the morning and evening service, having partaken the sacrament in public worship, as the record says in 85th year.  Yet the Boston Newsletter of April 1717, in relation of the death of Reverend Joshua as of February preceding asserts, that Jeremiah, the brother died "a few weeks after."  This error, in such great authority, misled three or four generations.  Inventory of his estate is of 22 November 1715.  His wife Elizabeth Whiting, was daughter of Reverend Samuel Whiting of Lynn, who outlived him and she died at Hartford, aged 88.  One of his daughters married Hezekiah Wyllis, second of the Province of Connecticut, and another married Hezekiah Brainerd, town clerk, father of the ardent missionary; and Dorothy, who was another married 19 April 1704, Daniel Mason. 

JOHN HOBART, Hingham, son of second Edmund Hobart.  He married 2 April 1674, Hannah Burr, daughter of Simon Burr, had Hannah, born 20 July 1674, remembered in the will of her grandfather Simon Burr.  The father died 15 May 1675.

JOSHUA HOBART, Hingham, son of the first Edmund Hobart, came, probably with his father in 1633, and in the winter following was administered of Charlestown church, freeman 3 September 1634.  Next year he went with his brother Reverend Peter Hobart.  He married March 1638, Ellen Ibrook, at Cambridge.  He was of artillery company 1641, was a Captain, Representative 1643 and very many years after, speaker in 1674, head of a company, in active service in Philip's war, and he died 28 July 1682, aged 67.  His children were Hannah, baptized 1639, who married 30 October 1657, Joseph Grafton, and died in few years; Peter, 1642 (a mariner, who died June 1665, at Barbados, leaving widow Susanna Eliot, who was daughter of Jacob Eliot of Boston, married December 1662); Sarah, born 19 November 1644; Deborah, September 1647, married 20 April 1666, Joshua Lincoln; Joshua, 22 March 1650; Solomon, 28 May 1652; Enoch, 20 May 1654; and Hannah, again, 4 October 1666.  Sarah married Edward Cowell of Boston in 1668.

JOSHUA HOBART, Braintree, son of Thomas Hobart of Hingham, of which all that is known is the inscription "aged about 74 years died 28 December 1713."

JOSHUA HOBART, Southold, Long Island 1674, son of Reverend Peter Hobart.  He came with his father probably June 1635, freeman 1653, and was minister about 45 years.  Died February 1717 in 89th year.  In the memoirs of Reverend John Henry Hobart, Bishop of New York, who died 12 September 1830, aged 56, he is called a descendant of Captain Joshua Hobart; but the joints are not well compacted, the branch is probably wrong, and one generation I presume, was forgotten.

JOSIAH HOBART, Hingham, brother of the preceding, born probably in England, freeman 1660, cannot be the man, who was, says Felt, II. 581, preached at Beverly in 1657, for he was a mariner 1677, and was then of Boston.  By wife Mary, had Bethia, born 5 October 1672.  His brother writes of him, that he died at Easthampton, Long Island 1711, in the 78th year of his age.

NATHANIEL HOBART, Hingham, youngest son of Thomas Hobart of the same.  He married 31 May 1695 Mary Stowell, perhaps daughter of John Stowell of the same.  He died 3 July 1734, aged 69, and his widow died 1748, aged 85.

NEHEMIAH HOBART, Newtown, son of Reverend Peter Hobart, ordained 23 December 1674, having preached there about two years as successor to Reverend John Eliot the second, freeman 1675, says Farmer, but I do not find him so.  He married 21 March 1678, Sarah Jackson, daughter of Edward Jackson, had six daughters, and he died 25 August 1712, much honored in his place, as a members of the corp of Harvard College.  His wife had died only six months before (about January 1712).

PETER HOBART, Hingham, son of the first Edmund Hobart, born 1604, at Hingham, England.  He was bred at the University of Cambridge, where on taking his A.B. 1625-26, and A.M. 1629, he wrote his name Hubberd.  He was of Magdalen College, had preached at divers places, and last at Haverhill in Suffolk before coming hither, where he arrived 8 June 1635, at Charlestown freeman 2 September 1635, and in few days was settled at Hingham, with old friends.  He brought wife and four children, certainly Joshua, and Jeremiah Hobart, Harvard College 1650, before mentioned; probably Josiah and Elizabeth, who married John Ripley; and had here Ichabod in 1635; Hannah, 1637, both died soon; Hannah again, 1638, who married John Brown of Salem; Bathsheba, 1640, married Joseph Turner of Scituate; Israel, 1642; Jael, December 1643, married 25 May 1664, Joseph Bradford; Gershom Hobart, born probably in 1645, Harvard College 1667; Japhet Hobart, April 1647, Harvard College 1667; Nehemiah, Hobart 21 November 1648, Harvard College 1667; David, August 1651; Rebecca, 3 April 1654, married 10 October 1679, Daniel Mason of Stonington, as his second or third wife; Abigail, 19 October 1656, died unmarried April 1683; and Lydia, 1659.  The patriarch died 20 January 1679.  His daughter Lydia Hobart, the seventeenth child became 2nd wife of Captain Thomas Lincoln in 1690, and died 1732. His will, made only four days before he died (16 January 1679) names fourteen living children, names wife Rebecca Ibrook, probably daughter of Richard Ibrook, who was mother of the last six children, but it is quite observable that in Hingham records mention is not made of death of the first wife.

SAMUEL HOBART, the freeman of 4 March 1635.  He may have been of the church of Dorchester, or other, before taken the oath, but was not of Boston, Roxbury, or Charlestown; nor do I know anything of him.

SAMUEL HOBART, Hingham, son of the second Edmund Hobart.  He married 25 February 1673, Hannah Gold, daughter of Edward Gold, had Edmund, born 1674; Samuel, 1676, who died soon; Hannah, 1679, died next year; Samuel, 1681; Hannah, 1683; Peter, 1684; and James 1689.

THOMAS HOBART, Hingham 1635 or 36, son of the first Edmund Hobart, came, 1633, from Wymondham, County Norfolk, near old Hingham, with wife Jane, and three children of which one was Caleb, freeman 14 May 1634.  He had here Joshua, baptized 1639; and Thomas, 1649; Isaac, 25 April 1653; Hannah, 1655; Moses, born 2 December 1656, died at 30 years; Aaron, 1661; and Nathaniel, 1665.  But perhaps the last six children were by a different wife from the mother of the first; and we may inquire for their mother without gaining satisfaction.  Hannah married July 1677, John Record of Weymouth; and Aaron was drowned March 1705 sailing towards Boston.  I find Thomas Hobart, probably a grandson of Thomas, apprentice in 1670 at Boston, to learn the trade of a cooper.  In the Genealogy of Thayer, eight pages are filled with descendants of Edmund, and not half are given. Ten of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard and six at other New England Colleges of which eight were clergymen and two, John Sloss, and Aaron, were members of Congregation.

 

CHRISTOPHER HOBBS, Saco 1652, freeman 1653, appointed administrator 1654 on estate of his brother-in-law William Foster.  He died 1673.  His will of 26 November 1673 gives to children Christopher, Robert, and Jane, but provides that son John, who had not "come over," should have something, if he did.

HENRY HOBBS, Dover 1657.  He married a daughter of Thomas Canney.

JAMES HOBBS, Hampton, perhaps son of Maurice Hobbs, took oath of fidelity 25 April 1678.  He died 22 September 1679. 

JOHN HOBBS, Hampton.  He married 30 December 1668, Sarah Colcord, daughter of Edward Colcord.  He swore fidelity December 1678.  Probably he was son of the first Maurice Hobbs.

JOHN HOBBS, a soldier in Lothrop's company of the flower of Essex.  He was killed by the Indians 18 September 1675 at Bloody Brook.

JOSIAH HOBBS, came to Boston in the Arabella, 1671, a passenger from London, lived at Woburn.  By wife Mary, had Josiah, born 6 August 1685; Mary, 16 March 1687; Susanna, 24 November 1688.  But the family tradition in Genealogical Registrar IX. 255, makes the eldest son Josiah Hobbs, born in Boston 1684, and the father there to have lived first eighteen years after coming.  In 1690, says the genealogy, he removed to Lexington, then called Cambridge Farms, and with wife Tabitha joined the church there August 1699.  He had Josiah, Tabitha, and Mary, baptized 17 September 1699; Matthew, and Susanna, October 1700; Ebenezer, 8 January 1710; and Tabitha, again, 13 April 1712.  He died 30 May 1741, aged 92 years.

JOSIAH HOBBS, Boston, son of the preceding.  He married 1708, Esther Davenport, daughter of Ebenezer Davenport, had Ebenezer, born 1709; Tabitha, 10 July 1715; Josiah and John, twins 1721, on Governor's Island it is said, in the traditional tale; Esther, 22 October 1722; Sarah, baptized 10 May 1724, in right of her mother who had 12 April 1724 united with Mather's church (the Old North, not New North, as Genealogical Registrar IX. 255, reads); Dorcas, 8 May 1726; and Hannah, 5 January 1729, though the family genealogy makes the birth 20 days later than the baptism, and tells that at Mather's church "all his children but one, were" baptized when only three of the nine enjoyed that rite in that place.  He removed to Weston 1730, there had Nathan, born next year.  He died 27 February 1779, aged near 94 years, and his widow died 29 November 1778 if the account be correct.

MAURICE HOBBS, Newbury.  He removed to Hampton between 1640 and 45.  There married 1678, Sarah Swett, daughter of Benjamin Swett, as second wife.  The first was Sarah Eastow, daughter of William Eastow, both wives of Newbury.  He perhaps had Mary, born 5 March 1687.  He died 5 August 1700, "aged above 80," says Coffin, leaving ten children whose names are untold, except Bethia, said to have married 9 January 1677, John Tucke of Hampton.

MAURICE HOBBS, or MORRIS HOBBS, Hampton, called junior, when he took oath of fidelity 25 April 1678.  He was probably son of the preceding, as, also,

NEHEMIAH HOBBS, of the same town, swearing at the same time Maurice Hobbs.  By wife Joanna, had James, born 20 March 1700; Sarah, 31 October 1703; Abigail, 20 December 1707; Joanna, 26 May 1711; Morris, 6 August 1717; and Deborah, 6 July 1720. 

RICHARD HOBBS, Newbury, drowned 18 August 1665.

THOMAS HOBBS, Topsfield, freeman 1671, may be the same who died at Boston 1690.  He was probably father of that soldier killed 18 September 1675, of the flower of Essex, in one account called  John Hobbs, as before mentioned, and in Reverend Mr. Russell's letter, in Coffin's Newbury, page 390, named Thomas Hobbs.

WILLIAM HOBBS, Topsfield.  With wife Deliverance and daughter Abigail in April 1692, arrested for witchcraft, among the earliest, and their cases are not the least remarkable of that period of horrible delusion.  The trepidation of the daughter made her swear to any falsehood against her father and the wife plead guilty to any nonsense the Honorable court would suggest to her.  So she saved her life from that peril, but allowed the devil to seduce her to infernal revenge by accusing the mother of the constable who arrested her, for the same horrid or preposterous offence.  See Essex Institute II. 133.  Five of this name had, in 1831, been graduates at Harvard and two at the other New England Colleges.

 

CHARLES HOBBY, Boston, son of William Hobby, fortunate in being knighted for his brave conduct at the earthquake 1692 in Jamaica, or else the considerable mention in Hutchinson II. 153, artillery company and its Captain 1702 and 1703.  He was Colonel I believe, of the Boston regiment but most known here as not one of such life as "should have recommended him to the clergymen of New England" yet sent over to London with letters from "some of the most pious minister" to our agent, Sir William Ashurst, a true puritan, strongly urged "that he might be appointed the Governor instead of Dudley."  Hutchinson does not say that his connection of the two Mathers, were writers of those letters, of which there can be no doubt, but he adds, that "Ashurst himself after his acquaintance with Hutchinson reproves and censures them."  Luckily for our country, Sir Charles did not prevail, came back, perhaps, and died 1715, but not in Boston.  His estate was insolvent and he left wife who was buried 17 November 1716, but no children.  Of his inventory 23 April 1716 "deeds for half the Province of New Hampshire" is one of the latest items, but, as if in derision, put down at nothing.  Seven slaves arc at the head, whose aggregate is £300.

JOHN HOBBY, perhaps of Dorchester, but only transient.  Winthrop II. 348.  In July 1637 he was imprisoned for theft, but breaking prison in company with John Williams, committed for similar offence, on their escape was murdered beyond Salem, by the same wife for which wife was hanged.  See Colony Record I. 202.  Winthrop I. 241, wrote the name, as I read it, in this place, Hoddy, but I doubt not it is the same man.  Felt, Eccles.  History I. 313.

JOHN HOBBY, Greenwich before 1666, may have been earlier of Newtown, Long Island.  He died 1707, had four sons and six daughters of which all but John, who died without issue, 12 March 1693, are mentioned in his will: Thomas, Benjamin, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Prindle, Hannah Burnham, Martha Morehouse, Rebecca Hardy, Mary Holmes, and Rachel James.  Rebecca was dead but left children.

JOHN HOBBY, Boston, brother of Sir Charles Hobby.  He died 7 September 1711, aged about 50.  His wife Hannah died 26 June 1690, about 27.  His children were by a second wife Ann, Charles, baptized 9 April 1699; Wensley Hobby, 30 September 1705, Harvard College 1723; William Hobby, 17 August 1707, Harvard College 1725, minister of Reading; and Edward 16 January 1709, to all of which guardianship was granted 24 November 1719, and of several other children we may infer, that they were dead before.

WILLIAM HOBBY, Boston, merchant.  By wife Ann, had, besides Charles and John, above mentioned, William, born 9 February 1669; Ann, 9 September 1670; Mercy, 4 October 1672; Judith, 8 May 1674; and Elizabeth, 18 October 1676.

 

HUMPHREY HOBSON, Rowley, son of William Hobson.  He married Elizabeth Northend, daughter of Ezekiel Northend, had Humphrey, born 1684.  He was freeman 1683, and died next year (1684).  His widow married Thomas Gage.

JOHN HOBSON, Rowley, son of William Hobson.  He married Dorcas Pearson, perhaps daughter of John Pearson, had Humphrey, born 1702; Moses, 1701; and John, 1707.  He was Representative 1725, and many years later.  But an earlier

JOHN HOBSON of Rowley left widow Mary, who married Philip Nelson, as his 3rd wife it is said. 

WILLIAM HOBSON, Rowley 1652, was from Yorkshire, son of Henry Hobson of Usflete, near Whitgift in the south part of the West Riding.  By wife Ann Reyner, daughter of Humphrey Reyner, had Humphrey, born 1655; John, 1657; and William, 1659.  He had a brother killed in the civil war at a battle near Willoughby.

WILLIAM HOBSON, Rowley, son of the preceding.  He married Ann Reyner, daughter of Jachin Reyner.

 

NATHANIEL HOCKADAY, Isle of Shoals.  He died 1664.

 

JOHN HOCKING, killed 1634 at Kennebec.  For full explanation see Genealogical Registrar IX. 80, and the contemporary Governors Bradford, and Winthrop in their several Histories

 

JOHN HODDY, New Hampshire 1675.  He married about 21 June 1675, Mary Roddam, had John, born 27 August 1679; Arthur, 25 August 1681; and Samuel, 4 October 1683.  His widow married 4 February 1696, Samuel Keais.

BENONI HODGDON, Kittery, had his house burned by the Indians October 1675.  He was Representative at Boston, one of the first under the new Charter 1692. 

JEREMIAH HODGDON, Dover 1666. 

JOSEPH HODGDON, Casco, perhaps brother of Benoni Hodgdon, had grant after the destruction of the town, of 100 acres, but in 1686 removed to York.  Willis, 1. 167.      

 

JOHN HODGE, Killingworth 1664.  He married 1 August 1666, Susanna Denslow, eldest daughter of Henry Denslow, of Windsor, had John, born 16 June 1667, at Killingworth; Thomas, 13 February 1669;  Mary, 15 February 1671; Joseph, 14 December 1672; Benjamin, 17 June 1674;  Henry, 19 August 1676; William, 10 April 1678; all at Windsor and at Suffield, or possibly at either Killingworth or Windsor these, Elizabeth, 1680; Susanna, 1682; Abigail, 1684; and Samuel, 1686, and perhaps other children.

NICHOLAS HODGE, Little Harbor, New Hampshire 1684. 

WILLIAM HODGE, Killingworth.  He had John, born 16 June 1667; and John again, 10 April 1678, says Stiles, in History of Windsor, 665.  Three of this name had, in 1828, been graduates at Harvard and five at New Jersey College.

 

JOHN HODGKIN, or JOHN HODGKINS, Guilford 1665.  He died 1681 leaving wife Mary and children John, Mary, Joseph, Thomas, and Elizabeth.  His widow married 6 July 1682, Isaac Johnson, and his heirs were proprietors in 1685.  A Thomas Hogkin, possibly of the same family was there 1703.

SAMUEL HODGKIN, or SAMUEL HODGKINS, New Haven 1651, perhaps brother of John Hodgkin.  By wife Elizabeth Cleverly, married 1642, had there John, born 1643; Samuel, 1645; James, 1647, who died soon; Joshua, born 16 September 1651; Thomas, 31 August 1654; and Daniel, 8 June 1657; besides Samuel, and John.  He died 28 December 1663, and his five sons were proprietors 1685, under the name of Hotchkiss, which is the present spelling; but intermediate, it was Hodskis.

SAMUEL HODGKIN, or SAMUEL HODGKINS, New Haven, son of the preceding.  He married 1678, Sarah Talmadge, had Mary, born perhaps 1 January 1680; Sarah, 7 April 1681; Samuel, 6 March 1683; James, 8 December 1684; and Abigail, 12 February 1687.

SAMUEL HODGKIN, or SAMUEL HODGKINS, Gloucester 1684, may have been son of William Hodgkin.  By wife Hannah, had Samuel, born 1684; Hannah, 1686; John, 1688; Philip, 1690; William, 1691; a daughter 1694; Jedediah, 1696; Patience, 1697; Abigail, 1699; Mercy, 1700; David, 1702; Martha, 1704; Ann, 1705; Jonathan, 1706; and Experience, 1708.  His wife died 28 July 1724, aged 60; and he married 3 May 1725 Mary Stockbridge. 

WILLIAM HODGKIN, or WILLIAM HODGKINS, Plymouth.  He married 2 November 1636, Sarah Cushman, daughter I presume, of Robert Cushman, and next married 21 December 1638, Ann Haynes.  He was one of  the first purchasers of Middleborough.  Elizabeth at Plymouth who married 1633 William Palmer of Scituate, and later, John Willis of Bridgewater, was probably his sister. 

WILLIAM HODGKIN, or WILLIAM HODGKINS, Ipswich 1665.  He died says Felt, 26 December 1693. Perhaps he is the same mentioned by Eaton among early settler of Reading.

 

ANDREW HODGES, Ipswich 1639, freeman 2 June 1641.  He died December 1666.  His will of 11 October 1665 mentioned wife, but no children.

CHARLES HODGES, Lyme.  He married 1 July 1686 to Ann; but no farther report of this family is found.

GEORGE HODGES, Salem, mariner.  He married 16 September 1663, Mary Hudson, had Catharine, born 20 August 1664.  His wife died 20 November 1665.  He married 24 September 1669, Sarah Phippen, daughter of Joseph Phippen, had Sarah, born March 1670; George, 18 March 1672; Mary, 10 January 1674; Joseph, 21 February 1676; Hannah, 6 January 1678; Dorcas, 7 April 1680; John, 10 February 1682; and Gamaliel, 8 September 1685.  Tradition makes him son of John Hodges, or Richard Hodges, both of Salem in 1642; but neither is found in Felt's list.

HENRY HODGES, Taunton, son perhaps, of William Hodges of the same.  He married 17 December 1674, Esther Gallop, daughter of the brave Captain John Gallop, had Mary, born 3 February 1676; Esther, 17 February 1678; William, 18 March 1680; Charity, 5 April 1682; Henry; Benjamin; Joseph; John; Ephraim; Elizabeth; and Abigail.  He was elder of the church, Captain, and he died 30 September 1717, aged 65.  His will of 17 September 1717 names with his wife all the sons and daughters all living.  Mary married a Keith; Esther married a Southworth; and Charity married a Leonard.

HUMPHREY HODGES, Boston 1671.  By wife Mary, had Humphrey, born 9 May 1665; and Faircliffe, a son 3 January 1667.  He became a Quaker, and was whipped 1677.

JOHN HODGES, Salisbury, an original settler went home to London in 1647.

JOHN HODGES, Charlestown 1633, with prefix of respect in 1636, yet I know no more of him, but that his widow Mary married 3 January 1655, John Anderson.  

JOHN HODGES, Taunton 1668, elder son perhaps of William Hodges.  He married 15 May 1672, Elizabeth Macy, probably daughter of George Macy, had John, born 5 April 1673; Nathaniel, 2 April 1675; Samuel, 20 May 1678; William, 6 June 1682; George, 27 November 1685; Ebenezer, 12 March 1687; and Nathan, 23 October 1690.  He died 1719.  His will of 27 May 1719, probated 1 October 1719, names five sons all but George and Ebenezer, who probably were dead.

NICHOLAS HODGES, Plymouth, 1643.  In his will of 24 October 1665, has an alias, Miller.

ROBERT HODGES, Salem, perhaps brother of George Hodges.  He married 22 June 1665, Mary Pitman, had Mary, born 10 March 1666; Sarah, 19 February 1668; Tabitha, January 1670; Hannah, 23 September 1672; Elizabeth, 15 September 1674; Robert, 25 January 1677; and Bethia, 23 October 1678.  But in Essex History II. 151, the surname is given Hodg, and so the family may be different and probably the wife was a Pickman, daughter of Nathaniel. 

THOMAS HODGES,  Charlestown.  He married 23 March 1663, Exercise Razor.

WILLIAM HODGES, Salem 1638, was called to serve on a jury 27 January 1639.  Is thought to have had brothers John Hodges and Richard Hodges, appearing at Salem four or five years later, though nothing is told more of either.  Andrew, George, or Nicholas may, as well, seem to be brothers of this William.  But the compiler of records of the Hodges family without any positive authority, but by conjecture solely, presumes him to be the following.

WILLIAM HODGES, Taunton 1643.  He had wife Mary and two sons John, born about 1650; and Henry, about 1652.  Descendants have been numerous and honorable.  See Hedges.  Seven of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at the New England Colleges.

 

WILLIAM HODGKINSON, Plymouth 1623, says Farmer, but we are ignorant where he derived his information for he was not a "first comer," and had no share in the division of lands.  Perhaps the year is wrong, yet I never heard at Plymouth of such a name, and think it means Hodgkins.  A Mary Hodgkinson married at Boston, 2 February 1654, Samuel Bedwell.

 

JOSIAH HODGMAN, Reading, named by Eaton among early settlers, may have been born about 1669, Webber, and early brought up by Thomas Hodgman who gave him land in 1703, called him "Josiah Hodgman alias Webber, who was dutiful to me as a son while he lived with me."  He married 18 May 1691, Elizabeth, who died 5 May 1712.  He married 3 December 1724 for second wife Grace Boutell, daughter of the second John Boutell of Reading by whom he had no children.  Nor by the first wife do we know of more than a single child Thomas, born 18 February 1693, from whom is derived a wide-spread offspring.  The father died 24 March 1749; and his widow died 19 July 1756.

THOMAS HODGMAN, Salem.  He married October 1661, Catharine More, says Essex Institute II. 151, and I hear no more.

THOMAS HODGMAN, Reading.  He married 12 August 1663, Mary Morrill, the young widow probably of Ezekiel of Reading, is thought to have had no issue, but to have adopted the preceding orphan Josiah, in early youth.  He died 28 August 1729.  His widow died 10 November 1735, in her 96th year, as is told by the gravestone remaining near the church with which she united November 1669.

 

JEREMIAH HODSDON, JEREMIAH HODSDEN, or JEREMIAH HODSDIN, Dover 1665.  He perhaps had Esther, who married 25 December 1663, Edward Waymouth.

NICHOLAS HODSDON, NICHOLAS HODSDEN, or NICHOLAS HODSDIN, Hingham 1647.  He removed to Cambridge, making great purchase of land on both sides of Charles river belonging to Cambridge and Boston, now in Newton and Brighton, and drew several others from Hingham.  The name is in Colony Records spelled Hudson.

 

GEORGE HODSON, GEORGE HODGSON, or GEORGE HODSHON, Cambridge.  He came, it is said, very early.  By wife Jane, had Ann, born 30 September 1645; and daughter Abiah, 3 April 1648.

JOHN HODSON, JOHN HODGSON, or JOHN HODSHON, New Haven, merchant.  He married 2 September 1651, Abigail Turner, daughter of Nathaniel Turner, had Abigail, born 25 March 1654; Sarah, 5 April 1657; Mary, baptized 8 July 1660; John, 1663; both died soon; Samuel, September 1664, died young; John, baptized 7 April 1667; Mary, again, 17 April 1670, died young; Ann, February 1672, died at 1 year; and Nathaniel Hodson, Harvard College 1693.  He was a proprietor 1685, with prefix of respect, in his will of July 1690, provided for his son at College.  He died October 1690, and his widow died 1693.  Sarah married 11 November 1684, Reverend Israel Chauncey, as second wife.

JOHN HODSON, JOHN HODGSON, or JOHN HODSHON, New Haven, son of the preceding.  He married 1 April 1691, Elizabeth Trowbridge, daughter of the second Thomas Trowbridge of the same, had John, born 5 February 1693, died soon; John, again, 3 February 1695, who died unmarried 15 February 1721.  The father died 11 November 1711, leaving good estate and his widow died 1 December 1711. 

NATHANIEL HODSON, NATHANIEL HODGSON, or NATHANIEL HODSHON, New Haven, brother of the preceding, of who we know no more, not even the year of his death but it was probably about 1701 at Stratford, at the house of his brother-in-law, Reverend Israel Chauncy.  He left widow Abigail, who married Richard Blackleach.

ROBERT HODSON, ROBERT HODGSON, or ROBERT HODSHON, Warwick.  He married Rachel Shotton, daughter of Samson Shotton, had Robert, Alice, and Mary.  He had come, says Thompson's Long Island in June 1657, over the ocean, and 1 August 1657 appeared first at New Amsterdam, where he was cruelly beaten and chained as a Quaker, under the government of Stuyvesant.  He is called "an ancient friend, and traveler for God's truth."  He died 10 May 1696, aged 78 years.  See Volume II. 73 and 288.

 

JOHN HOGG, Massachusetts 1639.  Felt.  Perhaps he was only transient.

RICHARD HOGG, Boston, a tailor.  By wife Joan, had Joseph, born December 1637, not 1636, baptized 25 August 1639; Mary, baptized 22 July 1641, 6 days old; and John, born 4, baptized 10 March 1644; and Mary, again, born 3 February 1647.  He was freeman 13 May 1640.

THOMAS HOGG, New Haven 1646, or earlier, was there 1654.  Five of this name were landed in Boston, May 1652, by the John and Sarah, from London, to be sold, having been made prisoners at Worcester fight, 3 September 1651 of not one of who we ever hear after.  I doubt not, they and the great majority of their fellow daughters of ill treatment or broken heart.

 

ABEL HOGGRIDGE, or ABEL HOGGERIDGE, Pemaquid, swore fidelity to Massachusetts 1674.

 

ARTHUR HOLBEECH, ARTHUR HOLBICH, ARTHUR HOLBIDGE, or ARTHUR HOLBRIDGE, Boston  1635, after 1638 removed to New Haven, where he was 1646.  He died 1648.  See Halbridge.

 

CORNELIUS HOLBROOK, Weymouth, son of William Holbrook the first.  By wife Margery, had Mehitable, born 10 March 1687.  By second wife Experience, had Elizabeth, 23 May 1695; Abigail, 17 August 1697; and William.

DANIEL HOLBROOK, Roxbury.  He died 23 August 1673 by casualty.  He was, perhaps, son of the first John Holbrook.  By wife Miriam, had Daniel, born 13 November 1671; nor do I know more than that his daughter Abigail was born 13 May 1669, and another Daniel, who died 12 July 1697, only 2 weeks old, whose mother was Elizabeth Seaver, married 29 May 1696.  But after long search, I fear the complication is too great for the same record has another Daniel, who married 29 May 1698 Abigail Craft, and she died 5 November 1701.

ICHABOD HOLBROOK, Weymouth, son of Captain John Holbrook of the same.  By wife Sarah Turner, daughter of John Turner of Scituate, had Abiezer; born 7 May 1689; David, September 1690; Sarah, 13 January 1695; Elisha, who died about 1697; and John, 28 November 1699. 

ISRAEL HOLBROOK, Milford, son of Richard Holbrook.  He had wife Mary and one daughter when he died 1680.

JOHN HOLBROOK, Dorchester, perhaps brother of Thomas Holbrook the first, freeman 13 May 1640.  He may have removed for short time to Rehoboth about 1643, thence to Weymouth.  Children are thought to be Thomas; Richard; Margaret, who 16 July 1656 became second wife of Nicholas Rockett, or Nicholas Rockwood; Daniel; Samuel; and Nathaniel, of the last, it being added that probably he died without issue.  He was Representative 1651, and many years more perhaps; but we have not means of certainty because another

JOHN HOLBROOK, of Weymouth, son of Thomas Holbrook, born probably in England, was Representative many years between 1651 and 1692, called Lieutenant and afterwards Captain.  I think he was probably the same whose wife Sarah died 14 January 1644.  But what children if any she had, are unknown, but daughters Lois and Eunice, twins are born by the record 12 May 1658.  By wife Elizabeth Stream, daughter of that widow Stream, who was second wife of John Otis, he also had Experience, 23 May 1661; Ichabod, 30 May 1662; and, earlier or later, several more, for his will of 12 July 1699, probated 14 December 1699 names wife Mary and children John, Samuel, and Ichabod, besides Hannah, who married Ephraim Pierce.  All of whom had children in abundance to be mentioned in that will.  Because his son Abiezer, who died 1672, is not named in that instrument nor any children of his, though his father had administration on his estate, it is inferred that he died unmarried, at least without progeny.  While very good provision is made for Lydia, daughter of son Samuel, and his seven children.  A granddaughter Elizabeth wife of James Smith, also granddaughter Abigail Porter, probably wife of Thomas, son-in-law,  Simeon, or Simon Whitmarsh, and grandson of the same name, granddaughters Ruth, wife of Edward Derby, and Mary, wife of Edmund Johnson, daughter Hannah, wife of Ephraim Pierce, with grandsons  Azrikam and Ephraim Pierce junior, grandchildren Rachel Peck, Joseph, and Elizabeth Nash, Benjamin, John, Joseph, James, and Eunice Ludden, besides Joseph, Josiah, and Experience Edson, and also son John with his wife Abigail, their son John and six daughters and his own son Ichabod, to whom the homestead at Weymouth is given, his wife Sarah and three children.  Now to follow this numerous brood may be difficult and part of it eludes my long research.  I presume the wife of Whitmarsh was Sarah; of Joseph Nash, Elizabeth and of Benjamin Ludden, Eunice; and that these three were his daughters.  Vinton, page 331, says the second wife died 25 June 1688, aged 64, and that he had for 3rd wife widow Mary Loring.

JOHN HOLBROOK, Weymouth, eldest son of the preceding.  By wife Abigail Pierce, daughter of brave Michael Pierce, had Thomas, born 15 January 1672; John, 19 November 1686; and six daughters as in their grandfather's will referred to, and as Thomas is omitted we may presume that he died young. 

JOHN HOLBROOK, Roxbury.  He came in from Dorchester, bringing son John, had Elizabeth, born 16 April 1670; both were baptized 30 April 1671; Abigail, born 27, baptized 30 August 1674; and Daniel, 15 March 1676.  He died 25 December 1678, and in his will 9 days before (16 December 1678) names wife Elizabeth and the four children.

JOHN HOLBROOK, Roxbury, son of the preceding, freeman 1690.  He married 24 September 1684, Mary Cheeny, had John, born in Boston, 4 November 1686; but no more is known.

PETER HOLBROOK, Braintree, son of Thomas Holbrook the second.  By wife Alice, had John, born at Weymouth, 24 September 1679.  He removed to Mendon and had Peter; Joanna; Joseph; Sylvanus; Mary; Richard; Eliphalet; William; and Samuel.  From his will of 16 January 1712, probated 29 May 1712 called the last four minors, is ascertained.

RICHARD HOLBROOK, Milford 1658, was, perhaps, first at Dorchester, freeman 1648, next, one of the first settlers of Huntington, Long Island.  He died at Milford 1670, leaving wife Agnes, and children Abel, Israel, Pelatiah, Mary, Hannah, Patience, John, Daniel, and Abigail, wife of Joseph Hawkins.  His daughter Mary married 8 September 1675, Ephraim Wheeler of Milford.

SAMUEL HOLBROOK, Weymouth, probably the freeman 1681, may have been son of Thomas Holbrook the second.  By wife Mary, had Cornelius; William; Elizabeth; Mehitable; Jane; Persis, born 11 October 1675.  But I doubt no more obscure family report can be discerned in any part of the researches.  See Mitchell's History of Bridgewater; and Morse's Genealogical Registrar.

SAMUEL HOLBROOK, Weymouth, son of Captain John Holbrook.  By wife Lydia, had at Weymouth perhaps, Hannah; certainly Elizabeth, born 30 September 1684; Mary, 18 November 1686; Samuel, 19 February 1689; John, 29 April 1690; and Joseph, 26 June 1694.  He died 1695.  To these children by the will of their grandfather John Holbrook, two more, son Abia, 1695; and daughter Sarah, probably 1692; but all the seven were minors.  His widow married 27 January 1705, Deacon Joseph Allen, and died 1745, making, will 2 April 1745 and probated 11 June 1745.

THOMAS HOLBROOK, Weymouth 1643.  He may have come several years earlier at Weymouth (whence removed the first settler of Rehoboth in that year) and though he was one of the grantees of Rehoboth yet for not going to reside there, his share was forfeited in January 1645.  All his children probably were brought from England, eldest son John, born about 1617; Thomas, and William, and three daughters.  He died I think, early in 1677, at least his will called himself of Weymouth was probated 24 April 1677 though made 31 December 1668, with codicil 5 years later.  By it his wife Jane, sons Thomas and William, daughters Ann Reynolds, Elizabeth Hatch, and Jane Drake, besides grandchildren John, Peter, and William, are mentioned, and son John made executor.

THOMAS HOLBROOK, Braintree, son probably of the preceding, born probably in England.  He had by wife Joanna, Thomas; John, born 15 October 1653; Peter, 7 August 1655; Joanna, 30 October 1656; Joseph, 10 April 1660; Mary; and Susanna.  All except John, and probably Joseph, living at his death 22 July 1697, as we see by his will of 25 July 1695, probated 19 August 1697.  It names also wife Jane and son-in-law Uriah Clark, who probably had married a daughter then deceased.  Having made Samuel, his nephew, executor, he appoints in his place, being deceased, Joseph Allen of Braintree. The daughter Mary he calls Coleborne, and Susanna had married 3 March 1694, Andrew Willet of Boston.  He served in Johnson's Company December 1675.

THOMAS HOLBROOK, Braintree, eldest son of the preceding.  He married 1666, Deborah Damon, daughter of John Damon of Scituate.  He had second wife Mary White, daughter of Thomas White of Braintree, had probably no children by the first, and by Mary, had Thomas, born 13 March 1693; Mary, 20 October 1700; Hannah, 20 November 1702; Susanna, died young; Samuel, 29 April 1711; and Abigail, 8 September 1715, who died young.  He died December 1728, quite aged, and his will of 16 October 1728, probated 9 January 1729, made wife Mary executrix, who died February 1738.   It names only children Thomas, Mary, wife of Seth Copeland, their children Seth, and his own daughter Hannah.  As to this progeny, between Vinton and Morse there is disagreement.

THOMAS HOLBROOK, at Medfield.  He married 28 May 1656, Hannah Shephard, and was living there many years after.  I am unable to tell more. 

WILLIAM HOLBROOK, Weymouth, son of the first Thomas Holbrook, probably born in England, freeman 1647.  By wife Elizabeth, had William, born 23 June 1657, or 20 January 1658; and Cornelius, 19 November 1662.  He after settled at Mendon, and had Samuel; John; Milicent; Persis; and Experience; of whose dates we are uninformed.

WILLIAM HOLBROOK, son of the preceding, was of Mendon.  There died 1714, leaving widow Margaret, but no child is mentioned in his will of 15 November 1714, probated 16 December 1714, which after providing for wife names two children of his brother Cornelius, viz. Mehitable Corbet, and Cornelius, making the latter his heirs.  One Miriam Holbrook married 24 May 1675, the third Edward Johnson, and she was, I presume, of Charlestown, but who was her father I ask in vain.

 

BENJAMIN HOLCOMB, Windsor, son of Thomas Holcomb.  He married 11 April 1667, Sarah Enno, daughter of James Enno or James Enos, had Benjamin, born 16 April 1668; James, 13 October 1671, died young; Sarah, 1 February 1674; Ann, 19 March 1676; Abigail, 12 May 1681; Samuel, 29 November 1683; Joseph, 7 November 1686; Benjamin, 1 June 1689; and Deborah, 26 October 1690.

JOHN HOLCOMB, Springfield, may have been son of Thomas Holcomb, born before his father went to Windsor.  He had Sarah, born 6 October 1673.  He probably removed for he is not after heard of.

JOSHUA HOLCOMB, Windsor, son of Thomas Holcomb.  He married 4 June 1663, Ruth Sherwood, had Ruth, born 26 May 1664; Thomas, 30 March 1666; Sarah, 23 June 1668; Elizabeth, 1670; Joshua, 1672; Deborah, 1674; Mary, 1676; Mindwell, 1678; Hannah, 1680; and Moses, 1686.  He removed to Simsbury, perhaps before some of the children were born, and he died 1 December 1690, leaving Thomas, Joshua, Moses, and those seven daughters.

NATHANIEL HOLCOMB, Simsbury 1697, brother of the preceding.  He married at Springfield, Mary Bliss, daughter of Nathaniel Bliss, in February 1671, had there Nathaniel, born 11 June 1673; and Mary, 17 May 1675. 

THOMAS HOLCOMB, Dorchester 1633, freeman 14 May 1634.  He removed with other friends of Reverend John Warham 1635 or 36, to Windsor, probably with two or three children.  Had there Abigail, born about 6 January 1639; Joshua, baptized 27 September 1640; Sarah, 14 August 1642; Benajah, 23 June 1644; Deborah, born 15 October 1646, died soon; Nathaniel, 4 November 1648; Deborah, again, 15 February 1651; and Jonathan, 23 March 1653, died soon.  The father died 7 September 1657.  Of his daughters we know that Abigail married 11 June 1658, Samuel Bissell; and Deborah married 5 November 1668, Daniel Birge; and it is presumed that Elizabeth married 16 November 1654, Josiah Ellsworth; and Mary, who married 3 October 1655, were his daughters.

 

CHARLES HOLDEN, or CHARLES HOULDEN, Warwick, son of Randall Holden the first.  He married Catharine Green, daughter of John Green of the same (who became Deputy Governor of the Colony), had Catharine; Charles, born 24 May 1695; Frances; Anthony; Ann; William; and John; but the order of births is all uncertain.

JOHN HOLDEN, or JOHN HOULDEN, Woburn, son of Richard Holden.  He had wife Abigail, who died 22 May 1685.  He married 19 June 1690, Sarah Pierce, had Sarah, born 25 February 1691; Abigail, 26 March 1693; Martha, 28 May 1695; John, 6 February 1698; Thomas, 3 June 1700; Jonathan, 19 January 1703; Martha, 1 February 1706; and Elizabeth, 17 May 1708.  He was freeman 1684.

JUSTINIAN HOLDEN, or HOULDEN, Watertown, came in the Francis, 1634, from Ipswich, England, aged 23, probably younger brother of Richard Holden, owned estate also in Cambridge, near the Fresh pond, freeman 1657.  He was of Cambridge when his wife Elizabeth died 18 March 1673.  By her, probably he had no children, but within a short time of her death, he married Mary Rutter, daughter of John Rutter of Sudbury, had Samuel, born 28 April 1674; John, 18 July 1675; Isaac, 25 May 1677; Mary, 21 March 1679; Grace, 13 August 1681; Joseph, 10 September 1683; and Elizabeth, 6 May 1686.  He calls himself about 66 years old in a deposition of 1679, and he died between 12 August  1691 and 10 October 1691, those being, dates of making and probating of his will.  Estate was good.  His widow was living 12 November 1714.

JUSTINIAN HOLDEN, or JUSTINIAN HOULDEN, Groton, son of Richard Holden.  By wife Mary, had Mary, born 20 May 1680.  He removed to Woburn, there had Ebenezer, born 11 May 1690.  His wife died 15 May 1691.  At Billerica by wife Susanna, had Susanna, 16 October 1694.  He removed to Cambridge, or at least conveyed interest in that town after death of his father in 1696.

RANDALL HOLDEN, or RANDALL HOULDEN, Warwick, Rhode Island, came from Salisbury, County Wilts, but the time is not known.  Was of Portsmouth before 1638, in that year was witness with Roger Williams to the deed of the Island by the Indians sachems, yet, in 1642, was driven from the island and soon after sat down at Warwick before 1643, when the controversy began with Massachusetts claim of jurisdiction against him and his friends.  The force of the heretics was not adequate to maintain the right to their soil, and they were brought prisoners to Boston.  He was saved from sentence of death, which some of the ministers and some of the Magistrate desired but shut up in jail till next year at Salem.  He went home and from the Parliament I am happy to add, obtained vindication of his right in 1645, and again came in 1646.  He married Frances Clark, daughter of Jeremiah Clark of Newport, had Frances, born September 1649; Elizabeth, August 1652; Mary, August 1654; John, January 1656, drowned before middle age; Sarah, February 1658; Randall, April 1660; Margaret, January 1663; Charles, 22 March 1665; Barbara, 2 July 1668; Susan, 8 December 1670; and Anthony, 15 October 1673.  He was an Assistant in Rhode Island, and was living in 1676.  Of the daughters Frances married 1 December 1671, John Holmes; Elizabeth married 16 July 1674, John Rice; Mary married 1 December 1671, John Carder; Sarah married Joseph Stafford; Margaret married John Eldred; Barbara married Samuel Wickham; and Susan married Benjamin Greene.  Hutchinson I. 122. Winthrop II. 147. 280. 1 Massachusetts History Collections VII. 93, and several later volumes.

RANDALL HOLDEN, or RANDALL HOULDEN, Warwick; second son of the preceding.  He married Bethia Waterman, probably daughter of Nathaniel Waterman, had John, Randall, Waite, Mary, Frances, and Susanna. 

RICHARD HOLDEN, or RICHARD HOULDEN, Watertown, probably a Suffolk man.  He came in the Francis, 1634, aged 25, with Justinian Holden, probably his brother.  He married Martha Fosdick, daughter of Stephen Fosdick, had Stephen, born 19 July 1642; Justinian, 1644; Martha, 15 January 1646; Samuel; Mary; Sarah; Elizabeth; Thomas; and John, 1657; all living 1679.  But of the six last we know neither the exact dates nor order of births except in John's case by approximating, as he in 1679 is called 22 years old.  He removed to Woburn, there had John, born 17 March 1650, who probably died young.  He removed to Cambridge; to Groton, where he was one of the first proprietors; back to Watertown and last to Groton, again.  His wife Martha died 5 December 1681.  He died at his son Stephen's in Groton 1 March 1696.  Martha married Thomas Boyden, whose father had come over in the ship with her father; Mary married Thomas Williams; and Sarah married 20 December 1677, Gershom Swan.  Perhaps Elizabeth married 21 Mar 1682, John Read.

CHRISTOPHER HOLDER, Providence, a Quaker of Alverton, County Gloucester, 9 miles from Bristol.  He arrived at Boston from London, 27 July 1656, aged 25, and was imprisoned, whipped next year, and in the following had an ear cut off; but he harkened no better after these modes of persuasion yet flourished on transplanting to Providence 1665.  There married 12 August 1660, Mary Scott, daughter of Richard Scott, had Mary, 1662, who married Peleg Slocum of Dartmouth; Elizabeth, 4 January 1665.  But the first wife died soon after the birth of Elizabeth.  By second wife Hope, he had Christopher, 25 December 1666; Hope, 25 March 1668; Patience, 2 February 1669, probably died soon; Patience, again, 16 August 1671; John, 20 August 1672; Content, 22 May 1674; and Ann, 29 February 1676, I suppose, though the record says 31 of 12 month.

NATHANIEL HOLDER, Dorchester 1634.

WILLIAM HOLDRIDGE, or WILLIAM HOLDRED, Exeter, son of the preceding.  He married 10 April 1674, Lydia Quimby, daughter of Robert Quimby.

 

JOSHUA HOLDSWORTH, Boston, mariner.  He married 10 May 1669, Sarah Rawlins.  He was freeman 1671.  His widow married 24 May 1683, John Knight of Charlestown, as his fifth wife but happily survived him, and she died 6 November 1713.

 

JOHN HOLGRAVE, or JOHN HALGRAVE, Salem, freeman 5 November 1633.  He had probably wife Lydia, and second wife Elizabeth.  He was Representative at the first Assembly 14 May 1634, also 1635.  After 1640 he had residence at Gloucester.  There he is no mention after 1653.  See Babson, 105 for reason of removing.  His daughter Martha married about 1641, William Park of Roxbury, long outlived him.  John died 25 August 1708, aged 94.

JOSHUA HOLGRAVE, or JOSHUA HALGRAVE, Salem 1636.  He had baptized Elizabeth, 1 November 1640; and Love, 17 April 1642.  Perhaps he was brother of the preceding, and removed with him to Gloucester.

 

CHRISTOPHER HOLLAND, or CHRISTOPHER HOLLON, Boston 1652.  By wife Ann, had John, born 1 February 1648:  Bridget, 14 March 1650; Joanna, 1 February 1652, died soon; Joanna, again, 13 October 1653, died in few months; Elizabeth, 17 February 1655; Hannah, 7 December 1658; Deborah, 8 March 1661; and Mary, 8 February 1663.  He died 4 March 1704, aged 91.

JEREMIAH HOLLAND, or JEREMIAH HOLLON, Harvard College 1645.  He went home, was a minister with a good life (I suppose, in established church) in Northampton shire, and died before 1698 by Mather's list.  But it is by nobody knows who was his father or of what town. 

JOHN HOLLAND, or JOHN HOLLON, Dorchester 1634, freeman 7 December 1636, was a merchant of good estate.  He had wife Judith, children John; Thomas; Nathaniel, baptized 1638; and three other daughters besides Obedience.  He died about 1652.  His widow married George Kimwright, if this name be not mistaken at Cambridge village or Newton.  Obedience was wife of Philip Curtis, and next of Benjamin Gamlyn.  Relief, another daughter married John Dowse of Charlestown.  His will, of 16 December 1651, is abstracted in Genealogical Registrar IV. 287. 

JOHN HOLLAND, or JOHN HOLLON, Newton, perhaps grandson of the preceding, probably son of Nathaniel Holland.  He married Elizabeth Park, youngest daughter of Thomas Park of the same, says Barry, had John, born 25 December 1699; Joseph, 19 January 1702; John, 5 April 1704; Elizabeth; Abigail, 18 May 1709; Jonas, 12 May 1711; Ephraim, 11 January 1714; Sarah, 11 September 1716; and Ruth.  He removed to Marlborough, and there had Samuel, 1721; and Abigail, again. 

JOSIAH HOLLAND, or JOSIAH HOLLON, Roxbury, freeman 1690.  He is not mentioned in the town record as born or married.  He died 25 September 1729, aged 83. 

NATHANIEL HOLLAND, or NATHANIEL HOLLON, in the list of freeman of 1663, was of Watertown, probably son of the first John Holland, may have been born in England, but at Charlestown.  By wife Mary, had Joseph, born 24 October 1659.  At Watertown by wife Sarah Hosier, daughter perhaps of Samuel Hosier (who in his will left to the two eldest children and it may be that the former wife was daughter of Hosier), had Sarah, 30 November 1662; Ruth, 17 February 1666; Nathaniel, 15 April 1668; John, 7 April 1674; Elizabeth, 18 June 1676; and Mary, October 1678, died next month.  He was living 1709.  Sarah married 26 January 1680, Jonathan Phillips; and next, 1 January 1717, John Bemis; Ruth married 20 March 1689, Joseph Pierce. 

THOMAS HOLLAND, Yarmouth.  He had Thomas, baptized at Barnstable, 9 May 1641.

 

ANGEL HOLLARD, Boston, shoemaker, freeman 3 March 1636.  He was then member of Weymouth church where, perhaps, were born several of his children as Thomas, 8 October 1635, probably died young; Hannah, July 1638; Elizabeth, 7 May 1641, who died in few months; Hepzibah, 10 August 1642.  But in Boston certainly had Thomas, baptized 10 November 1644, about 5 weeks old; Sarah, 5 March 1646.  By wife Catharine had Joanna, 17 December 1653, died soon.  His widow Catharine married August 1671, John Upham of Malden; daughter Hannah married 23 July 1652, William Ballantine, and next, William Long, and she died 2 April 1718,

GEORGE HOLLARD, Boston 1664, mariner.  He died 12 April 1714, in 90th year.  Easily this surname is perverted to Holland, as in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 59, and lamentable in the index of same volume though in one of its references, the name is correct.  Similar vexation in the Index of Vol. X. confused the different names of pages 217 and 218.

 

JOSEPH HOLLEY, Dorchester 1634, Weymouth 1639, was probably of Sandwich 1643.  He died early in December 1647.  Often it is spelled Holway. 

RICHARD HOLLEY, at Charlestown.  He married 29 October 1663, Joanna Downing, daughter of John Downing.

SAMUEL HOLLEY, Cambridge 1636.  In his will of 22 October 1643, probated 5 December 1643, refers to wife Elizabeth and son John, but without naming either.  In the biography of Horace Holley, Yale 1803, D.D the eloquent President of Transylvania University he is derived, but not to general satisfaction from the celebrated astronomer Halley.

 

WALTER HOLLIDAY, Springfield.  In 1673 he married Catharine Hunter, perhaps eldest daughter of William Hunter, had Ebenezer, born 1675; and William.  He removed to Suffield, there had Samuel, 1680; Sarah, 1683; Mary, 1685; Isaac, 1690; and Abigail, 1692.

 

RICHARD HOLLIDGE, Boston 1638, freeman 22 May 1639.  He had wife Ann, who also was of our church.

 

EZEKIEL HOLLIMAN, or EZEKIEL HOLYMAN, Salem 1637, had been at Dedham before that.  He brought from England I think, a daughter whose name is never seen, but it is less certain that he brought her mother Susanna, daughter of John Oxston, alias Fox, of Stanmore, in County Middlesex, who had three brothers John, Philip, and William, of which neither came over, but the time of her death is not found.  He was born at Tring, in the adjoining shire of Hertford.  He married his second wife probably 1638, at Providence, Mary Sweet, daughter of Isaac Sweet, who seems to have been cast out of the church at Salem, 1 July 1639, perhaps for carrying out the opinions of her husband; was perverted in his faith, as our rulers thought.  Went to Rhode Island, there at Providence in 1638, was one of the founders of the First Baptist Church.  Mary, his wife was in the same condemnation.  He lived later at Warwick, where resided John Warner, who had married Priscilla, daughter of Holliman, probably his only child.  He was Representative 1650, and more than once.  Backus, I. 106.  Winthrop I. 293.  Benedict, History of baptisms.

 

RICHARD HOLLINGSHEAD, Boston 1674, fisherman.

 

RICHARD HOLLINGWORTH, Salem.  He came from London in the Blessing, 1635, aged 40, with wife Susan, 30; sons William, 7; Richard, 4; and daughters Elizabeth, 3; and Susan, 2.  He was a shipwright, and for a casualty (by which one of his workmen was killed), severely fined for benefit of the widow and children in 1641.  He died 1654.  Perhaps he had children born on our side of the water, Joseph, Abigail, and Caleb.  One of his daughters married Robert Starr. 

RICHARD HOLLINGWORTH, Salem, son of the preceding.  He married 23 August 1659, Elizabeth Powell, eldest child of Elder Michael Powell, had Richard, born 9 August 1661, died next year; Benjamin, 28 June 1663; John, 12 May 1665; Abigail, 1 March 1668; Joseph, 4 April 1670; and Caleb, 22 December 1673.  He was freeman 1665, and (unless there be confusion with another of the same surname), had license to keep an inn, and it was contributed in 1678, to his widow Elinor, who died 22 November 1689, in 59th year.  His only surviving child Mary married 1 September 1675, Philip English, and she was charged with the baneful offence of witchcraft, and had the happiness of being removed from Salem gaol, with her husband and imprisoned at Boston, whence with approbation of the best people in town, especially Reverend Messieurs Willard and Moody, they escaped to New York.  She, however, died two years after, in consequence of her sufferings, aged only 42.  Her superior education made up for defect of years to justify the execrable charge.  See 1 Massachusetts History Collections X. 65.  Between the second Richard and the first William arises some confusion.  In 1669, as Mr. Judd assures me, one Richard Hollingworth was of Milford, but no more is told, except that the family name continued there 1713.  He might seem the same as the Salem man; but how the name was perpetuated demands a pause.  Mr. Porter informs me that he died 1683, leaving wife Abigail, and children William, Joseph, and Abigail. 

WILLIAM HOLLINGWORTH, Salem, not brother of the preceding, born in England.  He married 1655, Elinor Story, who seems to be mother of Mary English, not wife of Richard.  He was a man of large commercial operations.  By wife Elinor, had Susanna, born 4 March 1659.  He died abroad, supposed to be lost at sea, about 1677.  Felt, II. 240.  His wife was administrator 1679.

WILLIAM HOLLINGWORTH, Salem, son of Richard Hollingworth the first.  He died 7 November 1683, aged 53.

 

JOHN HOLLIS, Weymouth.  By wife Elizabeth, had John, born 28 March 1664; Thomas, 7 January 1667; Elizabeth, 18 November 1669; Mercy, 5 February 1675; and perhaps others.  In December 1675 he was a soldier.

JOHN HOLLIS, Weymouth, perhaps son of the preceding.  By wife Mary, had John, born 26 November 1691, as I judge is meant by Genealogical Registrar IV. 60, though date varies, and the name is spelled Halice.

WILLIAM HOLLIS, Salem 1668.  He had Elizabeth, born July 1672; and Mary, 11 December 1673.

 

JOHN HOLLISTER, Weymouth, freeman 10 May 1643, was Representative in March 1644.  In Massachusetts and November 1644 in Connecticut, removed to Wethersfield, where he had been in 1642, when son John was born to him, as is said, strange as his residence seems at that day.  He was an efficient man in Connecticut Representative 1645, and often until 1656.  With others he was engaged in a controversy with the church under Reverend John Russell, who caused the plantation of Hadley 1659.  He was Lieutenant, and died April 1665.  By will of 3 April 1665 leaving good estate to wife Joanna Treat, daughter of the first Richard Treat, five sons John, born 1642; Thomas; Joseph; Lazarus; Stephen; besides Mary, who married John Wells of Stratford; Elizabeth perhaps died unmarried; and Sarah, wife first, 1674, of Reverend Hope Atherton of Hatfield, and next, 1678, or 79, of Timothy Baker of Northampton.  Farmer thought two of the same name were made freeman same day.  But I am satisfied, as several others, of rarer name, are repeated in that day's work, it was the blunder of the clerk Joseph, and Lazarus had no children.

JOHN HOLLISTER, Glastonbury, son of the preceding.  He married 20 November 1667, Sarah Goodrich, eldest daughter of William Goodrich, had John, born 9 August 1669; Thomas, 14 January 1672; Joseph, 8 July 1674; Sarah, 25 October 1676; Elizabeth, 30 March 1678; David, 20 or 21 November 1681; Ephraim, 15 March 1684; and Charles, 29 July 1686; besides Elizabeth, without date.  His wife died about 1700.  He died 24 November 1711, when all the children except Charles were alive.

STEPHEN HOLLISTER, Wethersfield, son of the first John Hollister.  By wife Abigail Treat, daughter of Matthias Treat, married 1683, had Jonathan, though Goodwin calls the name Jerusha, born 7 January 1684; Stephen, 12 November 1686, died at 20 years; Abigail, 16 August 1688; Ann, 16 March 1690; Gershom, 2 April 1692; Samuel, 1694; Eunice, 1696; Gideon, 1698; Daniel, 1700; and Nathaniel, 1702.  By a second wife Elizabeth Reynolds, daughter of Jonathan Reynolds, he had Stephen, again, 12 September 1709.  He died as a Captain in command, 2 October 1709.

THOMAS HOLLISTER, Wethersfield, brother of the preceding.  He married Elizabeth Lattimore, daughter of John Lattimore, had Thomas, born 1672; Jonathan; Joseph, 1675; John; Sarah; Mary; Stephen, 20 September 1681; and Abiah or Abigail.  He died 8 November 1701.

 

HENRY HOLLOWAY, or HENRY HOLWAY, Dover 1662.

JOHN HOLLOWAY, or JOHN HOLWAY, Hartford.  He came to Boston in the Elizabeth from London, 1635, aged 21, and was a soldier in the Pequot war.  He married 1663, but died without children 18 October 1684.

JOSEPH HOLLOWAY, or JOSEPH HOLWAY, Lynn 1636, removed to Sandwich 1637, but probably came back or left son.

JOSEPH HOLLOWAY, or JOSEPH HOLWAY, Lynn.  Had Joseph and Edward twins born 4 August 1673;  Mary, 16 April 1675; and Samuel, 2 November 1677.  He died 29 November 1693.

MALACHI HOLLOWAY, or MALACHI HOLWAY, Taunton 1668.

SAMUEL HOLLOWAY, or SAMUEL HOLWAY, Taunton.  He married 26 March 1666, Jane Brayman, had Hannah, born 1 March 1667; Samuel, Nathaniel, and John, born 1667 to 70.  He was a proprietor 1676.  His son Samuel was of Gallop's company in the sad expedition against Quebec, 1690.

THOMAS HOLLOWAY, or THOMAS HOLWAY, Duxbury 1637, a soldier in the Pequot war.

TIMOTHY HOLLOWAY, or TIMOTHY HOLWAY, Taunton 1643-59. 

WILLIAM HOLLOWAY, or WILLIAM HOLWAY, Taunton 1639-43, removed to Boston about 1650.  By wife Mary, had Mary, born 2 April 1653; and Benjamin, 8 July 1656.  His daughter Hannah died 31 October 1653, and I fear great confusion exists with another William.  See Hallowell.

 

JOHN HOLLY, Stamford 1664, Representative 1670, and for Greenwich 1673.  Elizabeth came in the Blessing, 1635, aged 30.

 

ABRAHAM HOLMAN, or ABRAHAM HOMAN, Cambridge, son of William Holman, born in Northampton.  He came in the Defence 1635, at the age of 3 months with his father and family.  He was administered 18 October 1661 into the church of matchless Mitchell, who spelt the name by the sound, Homan.  He married February 1663, Sarah Pitts of Hingham, but probably had no children, for in his will of 27 September 1711, none is mentioned.  He had lived many years at Stow, was freeman 1663, and he died 7 January 1712. 

ABRAHAM HOLMAN, or ABRAHAM HOMAN, Concord, son of the first Jeremiah Holman, in 1726 had wife Susanna. 

EDWARD HOLMAN, or EDWARD HOMAN, Plymouth, came in the Ann 1623.  Of this first comer no more is known but that, after partaking of the division of land 1624, and of cattle, 1627, he went home, but came back, 1632, in the Lion.  I think he was living there in 1643, and in 1652 was one of the purchasers of Dartmouth. 

EDWARD HOLMAN, or EDWARD HOMAN, and GABRIEL HOLMAN, or GABRIEL HOMAN, Marblehead 1674.

JEREMIAH HOLMAN, or JEREMIAH HOMAN, Cambridge, son of William Holman, came with his father in the Defence 1635, aged 6 years.  He had wife Mary or Mercy, and a second wife Susanna, by both had Mehitable, born 12 November 1667; Jeremiah, 29 August 1670; Abraham, before mentioned; Abigail, and Deborah, who all were living in 1710 to divide his estate.  Besides Sarah, who died 21 December 1679; and probably Isaac, who we may judge his first born who died 12 April 1663.  He died 30 November 1709, and his widow Susanna died four days after (4 December 1709). 

JEREMIAH HOLMAN, or JEREMIAH HOMAN, Stow, son of the preceding, had part of the land of his uncle Abraham.  He had Mary and perhaps other children.  He died 6 May 1739, but his gravestone says falsely, in his 70th year.  His widow Abigail died 6 November 1746, in her 75th year.

JOHN HOLMAN, or JOHN HOMAN, Dorchester 1634, but in the Colony Record is mentioned in 1632, as quoted in Prince, Hale's Ed. 403, selectman 1636, Ensign 1637, and artillery company 1638.  By wife Ann, who died 1 December 1639, had Margaret, or Mary, whose date is not known, and John, born 23 February 1638; perhaps a daughter Ann, who may have been wife of Henry Butler.  He married a second wife but her name is not told, had Thomas, 6 August 1641; Abigail, 1642; Samuel; and Patience, baptized 28 January 1648 or 9.  He probably died in 1652, for his will of 10 June 1652, probated 26 June 1655, is abstracted in Genealogical Registrar V. 242.  As might be expected that will was unsatisfactory to the eldest son and the General court in 1656 was appealed to for result.  See Colony Record IV., part I. 262, and finally in October III. 418.  His estate was very good.  His daughter Mary married 29 May 1662, Samuel Mason of Boston.  A John Holman perhaps son of the preceding, was of Casco 1675, or earlier, in that part now Cape Elizabeth.  In the catalogue of Harvard College 1700, is a John Holman who died 1759, but we know not his descent.

SAMUEL HOLMAN, or SAMUEL HOMAN, Boston, son of the preceding, was a barber surgeon 1671, and pressed with his instrument and a medical student, his servant, into the service for Philip's war, 1676, as he complains, and pressed a second time; he says in his petition, that he is required to watch, and work on fortification.  He may be the freeman 1690, of Charlestown, called Homan.

SOLOMON HOLMAN, or SOLOMON HOMAN, Newbury 1694.  By wife Mary, had Mary, born 24 February 1695; Solomon, 25 November 1697; Edward, 26 January 1700; and Elizabeth, 24 October 1701.  But we have no clue to his origin from Mr. Coffin.

THOMAS HOLMAN, or THOMAS HOMAN, Milton, son of John Holman.  He married 19 February 1664, Abigail Rigby, probably daughter of John Rigby of Dorchester, freeman 1678.  A Thomas Holman of Rehoboth had married Hannah Turner, daughter of Ralph Turner of Cape Elizabeth, was a shoemaker, and with his wife living in 1729.

WILLIAM HOLMAN, or WILLIAM HOMAN, Cambridge.  He came in the Defence 1635, aged 40, with wife Winifred, 35; and children Hannah, 8; Jeremy, 6, before mentioned; Mary, 4; Sarah, 2; and Abraham, 3 months.  At Cambridge had Seeth, and Elizabeth, born 19 May 1644.  He was from Northampton, and proprietor of a lot, of which the Botanic garden is now part.  He died 8 January 1653.  His wife or widow was slandered as a witch, but permitted to die as a Christian, 15 October 1671.  Sarah Holman who died 7 May 1672, was, perhaps, a grandchild. The two elder daughters I suppose, died unmarried at least we know that Mary did, and her brothers Jeremiah and Abraham administered her estate 18 December 1673. Sarah married 9 April 1657, Samuel Parker of Dedham; and Seeth married 16 January 1662, Thomas Ross; and Elizabeth probably died young.  But she had lived with Benanuel Bowers, the Quaker, and her mother brought suit at law to recover the children though the witchcraft prosecution may not have arisen for her action.

 

ABRAHAM HOLMES, or ABRAHAM HOMES, Rochester, son of second William Holmes.  He died 1722.  By wife Elizabeth Arnold, daughter of Reverend Samuel Arnold of Duxbury, had son Experience, who died 1715, in 34th year leaving son Experience Holmes, father of late Honorable Abraham Holmes, born 1754.  His eldest child Elizabeth if Deane is right, was born 1666.  He had, by same author, second wife 1695, Abigail Nichols of Hingham.  But other children by former wife were Isaac, Bathsheba, who married 21 January 1691, Samuel Daggett, as his second wife; and Rose, who married 22 March 1699, Thomas Blanchard of Andover.

DAVID HOLMES, or DAVID HOMES, Dorchester.  He died 1666.  By his will, probated 15 November 1666, provides for wife Jane, son David, two younger sons not named, and daughter Margaret.

GEORGE HOLMES, or GEORGE HOMES, Roxbury, freeman 22 May 1639.  He had Nathaniel, born 1 February 1640; Deborah, 31 January 1642, died in few days; Sarah, baptized 7 January 1644; Deborah, again, baptized 9 November 1645, died September 1646.  He died of fever, 2 February 1646, though Farmer, obeying the town record says 18 December 1645.  He may have had older child or children certainly Joseph, to whom double portion was by the will given on condition that he be "accepted among the saints."

ISAAC HOLMES, or ISAAC HOMES, Marshfield, brother of Abraham Holmes.  He married April 1678, Ann Rowe, who was daughter of John Rowe, but nothing more is known of him. 

ISRAEL HOLMES, or ISRAEL HOMES, Scituate, brother of Abraham Holmes, was lost by wreck entering the harbor of Plymouth, 24 February 1685.  Deane does not say, that he had family yet.  He married Desire Dotey, widow of William Sherman, junior, daughter of Edward Dotey, who next married Alexander Standish, and outlived him.  Miss Thomas tells us, that she bore five children to Sherman, two, Israel, and John, to Holmes, and three to Standish.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Plymouth 1632, of who we would be glad to learn more than that he was messenger of their General Court and continued there 1643.  Sarah, perhaps his daughter died there 18 August 1650.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Duxbury, was at Harvard College in 1658, says Farmer, but why he had not degree we know not; yet possibly he was mature in his studies, and as Partridge, his predecessor died early in that year, he may have been desired to fill the place.  We know not his father though some call him eldest son of William Holmes, and I do not concur with Deane, who thinks he may have been son of the first John Holmes.  He married 11 December 1661, Mary Wood, daughter of John Wood or John Atwood of Plymouth, who became third wife of second William Bradford.  He had not any children of that union mentioned by Winsor; but he says, he died 24 December 1675.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Portsmouth.  He married a daughter of Thomas Walford.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Dorchester, son probably of George Holmes.  By wife Sarah, who was a member of the church of Roxbury, had George, baptized there 10 July 1670.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Cambridge, son of Robert Holmes.  He married 13 September 1664, Hannah Thatcher, daughter of Samuel Thatcher of Watertown, who died 24 May 1670, had John, baptized 9 June 1667; and Hannah, three weeks after, as the mother was recorded into Mitchell's church on 31 May 1667.  He was at Salem 1673.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Salem.  He married 21 April 1672, Sarah Hone, unless the surname be wrong (as I suspect) in Essex Institute II. 152.  She was a widow and they had Joseph, born 14 February 1673; Benjamin, 6 October 1674; Sarah, 23 February 1677; Elizabeth, 21 July 1679; and Jane, 1 June 1683.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Northampton.  He had John, born 1678.  He removed to Deerfield, and there died 1692.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Duxbury.  He married 20 November 1661, Patience Faunce, sister of Elder Faunce, had John, born 22 March 1663; Richard; Patience; Mehitable; Sarah; George; Nathaniel; Ebenezer; Thomas; Joseph; and Desire.  He died 1697.  Winsor says the last named (Desire) married before 1695, John Churchill. 

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Newport, perhaps son of Obadiah Holmes.  He married 1 December 1671, Frances Holden, eldest daughter of Randall Holden.  He may have been freeman 1655.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, New Hampshire 1689, prayed for jurisdiction of Massachusetts.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Roxbury.  He married 9 April 1690, Hannah Newell, daughter of Isaac Newell.

JOHN HOLMES, or JOHN HOMES, Haddam, son of Thomas Holmes of New London, probably the only child, furnished the curious story from his father's dying mouth, of his leaving England.

JOSEPH HOLMES, or JOSEPH HOMES, Roxbury 1651.  He married Elizabeth Clap, daughter of Captain Roger Clap, removed to Boston, had Joseph, born 6 November 1661; Elizabeth, 25 December 1662; and Nathaniel, baptized 10 July 1664.  Perhaps he was son of George Holmes, and freeman 1690.

JOSEPH HOLMES, or JOSEPH HOMES, Boston, tailor, 1677.

JOSHUA HOLMES, or JOSHUA HOMES, Westerly.  By wife Abigail, had Joshua, born 20 August 1678; Mary, who married Isaac Thompson; and another son whose name is not seen.  He died 14 April 1694.

OBADIAH HOLMES, or OBADIAH HOMES, Salem 1639, was from Preston in Lancashire.  He had probably wife Catharine, children baptized there: Martha, 3 May 1640; Samuel, 20 March 1642; and Obadiah, 9 June 1644.  He was perverted in faith and excommunicated therefore, with John Clark and John Crandall, and sentenced to heavy fine or whipped.  He went to Rehoboth, thence soon to Newport, and had five more children. Was a preacher from 1652.  He died 15 October 1682, in his 76th year.  He had a part in settling New Jersey 1664.  Of his descendants in 1790, the estimate was 5,000.

OBADIAH HOLMES, or OBADIAH HOMES, his son was, it is said, a minister and judge in New Jersey, and had a son in Newport aged 95 in 1770; and his son John Holmes was in honor at Philadelphia.  See Benedict, 371; and Clark's Ill News from New England.

ROBERT HOLMES, or ROBERT HOMES, Stonington 1670.

SAMUEL HOLMES, or SAMUEL HOMES, Rehoboth.  He had Samuel, who was buried 13 September 1674; Samuel, again, born 6 September 1675.  He may have removed to Duxbury, or perhaps the Duxbury man, may have been his son, who had there Consider, born 1702, and he of Marshfield, died 1690. 

THOMAS HOLMES, or THOMAS HOMES, Hingham, perhaps, at least one of that name.  He came, 1637, as servant to William Ludkin, who was of the city of Norwich, and sat down here in Hingham. 

THOMAS HOLMES, or THOMAS HOMES, New London, born at London, came in 1665.  By wife Lucretia Dudley or Lucia Dudley, daughter of Thomas Dudley of New York, had John, born 11 March 1686.  By Genealogical Registrar X. 242, is given a very curious story by this son taken on the bed, where the father was dying at great age, though no doubt below 98 years when he died 12 December 1724, his wife having died about 1688. 

WILLIAM HOLMES, or HOMES, Plymouth 1632.  He was sent 1633 with armed force to reestablish trading house above Hartford against the Dutch.  He served in the Pequot war, and was a Lieutenant in Scituate.  He went home, and got employment in the civil war, or great rebellion, as the other side called it.  He came back and died at Boston 12 November 1649; probably without wife or children.  He was called Major.  In his will gives estate in Antigua, and his farm at Scituate, to daughters of his brother Thomas Holmes at London, "if they come to New England".  They were too poor to come, as deposition in June 1654 show; yet possibly that Thomas Home, who arrived at Boston from London in the Speedwell, July 1656, aged 11, may have been a relative.  The Major's will mentioned "arrears due to him for being a soldier and commander in the army and service of the King and Parliament" as if this town of Boston were as good a place to expect such arrears as London.  Winthrop I. 92, 113.  Usually Oliver took better care of his old soldiers, especially if they had the merit of being hard heads as well as roundheads. 

WILLIAM HOLMES, or WILLIAM HOMES, Scituate 1646, or earlier, freeman of the Colony 1658.  He had Abraham, born 1641; Israel, 1642; Isaac, 1644; Sarah, 1646; Rebecca, 1648; Josiah, 1650; Mary 1655; and Elizabeth, 1661; and perhaps John, first born in England.  He removed that year to Marshfield.  He died 9 November 1678, by gravestone, or by another 1690, aged 86.  His widow Elizabeth died at the same age, 1693 or 1697, Miss Thomas says.  I found it useless to distinguish the persons without “L” in the name.  Five of this spelling had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard College and fifteen at the other New England Colleges.

JOSEPH HOLT Wallingford, son of William Holt.  He had Joseph, born about 1685; Daniel, 1687; Benjamin, 1690; Mary, 1694; and Elizabeth, 1696.  But I see not the name of his wife and depend for date of his death 1698, on conjecture.

JOSEPH HOLTON, or JOSEPH HOLTEN, junior, of the same, and his father were administered freeman 1690.  The elder, I suppose, married Sarah Ingersoll, daughter of Richard Ingersoll, widow of William Haynes, and had Joseph, James, John, Elizabeth, and Sarah, but no dates are seen. The younger, I presume to be son of the preceding, who was of Gardner's company wounded in the great swamp fight, 19 December 1675.

NATHANIEL HOLTON, or NATHANIEL HOLTEN, Salem 1668.  He had wife Mary and son Nathaniel.  He and his wife showed good courage in giving good character with others of their neighborhood to John Procter and his wife who the court wished to hang as witches.

SAMUEL HOLTON, or SAMUEL HOLTEN, Northampton 1668, son probably of William Holton.  He married Mary, daughter of John Rossiter, widow of Jonathan Gilbert.

WILLIAM HOLTON, or WILLIAM HOLTEN, Hartford, an original proprietor but we are ignorant from which of the Massachusetts towns he had removed.  He came in the Francis, from Ipswich 1634, aged 23, had John; Samuel, baptized 1 November 1646; William; Mary; Sarah; Ruth; Rachel; and Thomas, all born probably before 1655, when he removed to Northampton, though we have no dates for any.  Was the first Deacon at Northampton, ordained 13 May 1663, Representative 1664, 67, 69-71, once for neighboring town of Hadley.  H died 12 August 1691.  Of the children John died 16 April 1689; Samuel, freeman 1690, died 1730, without children.  Thomas was killed by the Indians 14 March 1676; Mary married 18 November 1655, David Burt; Sarah married 18 November 1656, John King; and those two were the first weddings in the town; Ruth married 1663, Joseph Baker, who was killed by the Indians, and next married in 1678, Thomas Lyman; and Rachel married 1671, Thomas Strong.

EDWARD HOLYOKE, sometimes EDWARD HOLLIOCKE, Lynn 1636, or 37, was from Tamworth, County Stafford, on the edge of Warwickshire, and with prefix of respect.  He was administered freeman 14 March 1639, lived most of his days in that part of Boston called Rumney Marsh, since Chelsea, but chosen perhaps Representative for several towns between the time when he was servant for Lynn 1639-48 and his death as for Springfield 1650 and after, being so honored at his death.  This, I suppose, with the fact of his owning estate there led to the opinion, that he had removed thither which is probably an error.  He died 4 May 1660, leaving only son Elizur, and daughters: Elizabeth, who married George Keysar; Ann, who married 17 October 1643, Lieutenant Thomas Putnam; Mary, who married 10 February 1647, John Tuttle of Boston; Susanna, who married 12 September 1656, Michael Martin; and Sarah, who married John Andrew.  His wife was Prudence Stockton, daughter of Reverend John Stockton of Kinholt, married 18 June 1612, by who before he came hither, he had, also, Edward, who died 30 December 1631, in 13th year and John, who also died in England 5 March 1635.  His will may be read in Genealogical Registrar IX. 345.  It is curious in detail; but distorts the good name Putnam of one of the son-in-law, into an impossible Prename.  In the will of Richard, father of Ann Hathaway, wife of the immortal Shakespeare, made 1 September 1581 at Stratford, he names Edward Hollyocke, as to him was due 20 shillings for wood; but though Warwickshire and Staffordshire adjoining it must be large 30 miles from Stratford to Tamworth, so that, if Edward were father of our Edward, he had earlier, without doubt, lived nearer London. 

ELIZUR HOLYOKE, sometimes ELIZUR HOLLIOCKE, Springfield, son of the preceding, born in England, probably came with his father, freeman 13 April 1648.  He married 20 November 1640, Mary Pynchon, daughter of William Pynchon, had John, born 27 August 1641, died soon; John Holyoke, again, 5 August 1642, Harvard College 1662, died a bachelor at Springfield; Hannah, 9 June 1644, who married Samuel Talcott of Wethersfield; Samuel, 9 June 1647; Edward, 8 August 1649; Elizur, 3 October 1651; and Mary, 14 November 1656.  He was Captain, and Representative 1656, 67, 70, 73-75.  He died 6 February 1676.  His wife died 25 October 1657, and he soon married Editha, widow of John Maynard, as before widow of Robert Day, who brought him no children but survived him, as did all those children of the first wife except the first born.  Mary died unmarried at Springfield 1713, when the name ceased there.  Samuel was a Captain in the hard fight, 19 May 1676, at the Falls, and after Turner was killed had command.  He died 31 October 1676, given his property chiefly to brothers and sister.  Edward was infirm, probably never married and died 16 June 1708.

ELIZUR HOLYOKE, sometimes ELIZUR HOLLIOCKE, Boston, son of the preceding.  He married 2 January 1678, Mary Eliot, daughter of second Jacob Eliot.  He was Representative 1704-07.  He died 11 August 1711, and his widow died 2 February 1721, aged 66.  He was father of Reverend Edward Hoyoke of Marblehead, born 26 June 1689, Harvard College 1705, the admirable President of the College near 32 years, who was father of Edward Augustus Holyoke, the respected physician of Salem, born 1 August 1728, Harvard College 1746, and died 31 March 1829, aged 100 years 7 months 19 days, filling a longer period from graduation than any other of the sons of the Institute though two have recently reached greater age.

JOHN HOLYOKE, sometimes JOHN HOLLIOCKE, Springfield, brother of the preceding, freeman 1677, Representative 1691, was clerk of the Court.  He died 6 February 1712, giving his estate to two sisters and daughter, and children of his brother Elizur.  Seven of this family had, in 1817, been graduates at Harvard.

THOMAS HOME, a youth of 11 years, brought in the Speedwell from London 1656.

 

JOHN HOMER, Boston, son probably of Michael Homer of the same.  He married 13 July 1693, Margery Stevens or Mary Stevens, had John, born 8 August 1694; Mary, 1696; Benjamin, 8 May 1698; William, 29 June 1701; Michael, 26 September 1703; Robert, 29 March 1706; Thomas, 1707; and Mary, again, 1708.  He derived from Edward of Ettingshall, in the parish of Bilston, County Stafford, as given in Genealogical Registrar X. 291, is by Mr. Somerby thought not trustworthy.  Administration I judge, of this John was given to his widow Mary, 19 December 1738.

MICHAEL HOMER, Boston, in a petition, 1676, for release of a servant from impressions for the war, says he had had one servant killed.  Probably by first wife he was father of John.  But he took 13 July 1693, Mary Burrows, probably as second wife.

JOHN HOOKE, Plymouth.  He came in the Mayflower 1620, servant to Isaac Allerton, and died shortly after arrival.

WILLIAM HOOKE, Taunton, born in County Hants, son of a gentleman as the register at Oxford University expresses it, on his matriculation 19 May 1620, of Trinity College where he was administered the same year 28 June to his A.B. and 26 May 1623, though Wood's Fasti says 7 July, to his A.M.  We know not when he first had employment in England for Mather has not given him a whole line; but he says he was minister at Exmouth, Devonshire before he came hither, the exact date of which is also not marked by any writer, though we are sure he was here 1639, as in the town record his land is then made a boundary.  He removed about 1644 to New Haven, there had Elizabeth, baptized 14 December 1645; and Mary, 5 September 1647.  He was in high esteem until he went home in 1656; held in great favor with Oliver, the Protector (who made him a domestic chaplain), of the character of which a valuable letter to Governor Winthrop by Hooke gives amusing insight, 3 Massachusetts History Collections I. 181.  He was also rewarded by being made one of the preachers at the Savoy in London, and had easy association with the great Protector, for his wife was sister of Whalley, the regicide, who had married a relative of Oliver.  He died 21 March 1667, says Trumbull; but Calamy makes it ten years later.

WILLIAM HOOKE was of New Haven 1647, a shoemaker, called junior to distinguish him, I suppose, from the minister but perhaps he was not son or any relative.

 

DANIEL HOOKER, Wethersfield, youngest son of Reverend Samuel Hooker, was a physician, had been the earliest tutor at Yale.  He married 1706, Sarah Standley, as may seem probable, and he died 1742.

SAMUEL HOOKER, Farmington, son of famous Thomas Hooker, perhaps born in Cambridge, ordained 1661, as successor of his brother-in-law Reverend Roger Newton.  He married at Plymouth, 22 September 1658, Mary Willet, eldest daughter of Captain Thomas Willet of Swanzey.  He died 6 November 1697, probably in 64th year.  He left widow Mary, who married 10 August 1703, Reverend Thomas Buckingham of Saybrook.  His children were Thomas, born 10 June 1659; Samuel, 29 May 1661; William, 11 May 1663; John, 20 February 1665; James, 27 October 1666; Roger, 14 September 1668, died in 30th year unmarried; Nathaniel, 28 September 1671; Mary, 3 July 1673, who in 1698 became third wife of Reverend James Pierpont of New Haven; Hezekiah, 7 November 1675, died at 11 years; Daniel Hooker, 25 March 1679, Harvard College 1700; and Sarah, 5, baptized 8 May 1681, who married Reverend Stephen Buckingham of Norwalk.

THOMAS HOOKER, Cambridge, born at Markfield, near Leicester, County Leicester, about 1586, as in Mather is told; but the register of that parish for a few years before and after is totally deficient.  It may, also, be doubted, for the family name does not appear at all in the registers and perhaps another parish in that County may have been his birthplace.  He was bred at Emanuel College Cambridge, where he took his degrees 1608, and 1611, and was chosen one of the Fellows.  He first exercised his faculties as a lecturer, when 40 years old, at Chelmsford, in Essex; but after four years his unflinched aversion to some ceremony compelled him to withdraw from the pulpit, and he opened a school at Little Baddow, about 5 miles from Chelmsford, where famous John Eliot was his Assistant.  But being still troubled for his Puritanism, he went within two years over to Holland, served in the gospel two years at Delft, and went thence to assist William Ames at Rotterdam, thinking however to come over to us.  One of our earliest settlers George Alcock had married his sister and of course he felt the attraction.  Privately he got passage in the Griffin, with Reverend Samuel Stone, and our great John Cotton, arriving at Boston 3 September 1633, next month settled at Cambridge, freeman 14 May 1634, and in June 1636 went to Hartford with a majority of parishioners.  He died 7 July 1647, in his 61st year though in the verses, which Mather at the end of his Life, III. 68, transcribes from Elijah Corlet, the glorious school-master, he is made 75, a preposterous exaggeration that must have delighted the author of the Magnalia.  Stranger confusion of time is seen in an article of Genealogical Registrar VI. 281, making Eliot, the apostle, following Hooker to our wilderness, when he preceding him by near two years.  Much excellent matter is distrusted in such carelessness.  His widow Susanna was not, I suppose, mother of the elder child as of Joanna, wife of Reverend Thomas Shepherd of Cambridge, who died about a year before her father and of Mary, wife of Reverend Roger Newton of Farmington.  Other children were John Hooker, Samuel, Harvard College 1653, Sarah, all under age in 1647, as by his will, made the day of his death, at great length, appears.  Sarah married Reverend John Wilson of Medfield.  The valuation of his estate was large; of his library, honorable.  Both will and inventory are printed in Trumbull, Collection Record I. 498-502.  A clause of the testament though it did not forbid his eldest son from seeking and taken a wife in England did forbid from married and "tarrying there."  John not only did marry and live in England but worse than that, in the opinion of his father's friends, became a parish priest, after the Restoration at Marsworth, County Bucks, a short distance from Aylesbury.

THOMAS HOOKER, Hartford, eldest son of Reverend Samuel Hooker, and grandson of the preceding, a physician.  He married 1686, Mary Smith, widow of Richard Lord, daughter of Henry Smith, then said to be the richest match in New England had no issue.  She was 16 or 17 years older than he was, died 17 May 1702; and he died early in 1720.

WILLIAM HOOKER, Farmington, son of Reverend Samuel Hooker, had only child Susanna.  Twenty-two of this name, near all of who descend from Thomas Hooker (called by Mather the light of the Western churches), had, in 1828, been graduates at the New England Colleges of which only two were at Harvard.

 

THOMAS HOOLE Boston, freeman 1665, is wholly unknown to me.

 

GEORGE HOOPER, Boston 1674, mariner, was drowned at Salem in that year. 

HENRY HOOPER, Marblehead, son of Robert Hooper the first.  He married 15 March 1692, Mary Norman, perhaps daughter of the second Richard Norman, had Robert Hooper, who was a Deacon and father of William Hooper, Harvard College 1760; and also of Joseph Hooper, Harvard College 1763.

JOHN HOOPER, Marblehead 1674, possibly was brother of George Hooper.

JOHN HOOPER, Marblehead.  He married 27 January 1691, Mary Litchfield, at Boston.

RICHARD HOOPER, Hampton, removed to Watertown before 1684, was a physician and surgeon.  By wife Elizabeth, had Hannah, born 1683, died young (says Bond, 302, by mistake, for on page 785 he shows, that Mr. Foxcroft, in  1702, was appointed guardian for her and Henry); and Henry, 25 May 1685.  He died 8 December 1690.  His widow Elizabeth had administration July 1691, and in 1693 she was licensed as inn holder.

RICHARD HOOPER, Watertown, son of the preceding, as Bond thought.  By wife Remember, had Henry, born 28 August 1717; Richard, 7 December 1718; Elizabeth, January 1720, died soon; Elizabeth again, June 1721, died next  month, and Elizabeth again, 2 June 1722.

ROBERT HOOPER, Marblehead, born about 1607, probably was brother of John Hooper, bought dwelling-house 1663, and land in 1665, sold in 1681 his house in conjunction with wife Elizabeth.  By her had Robert and Henry, and was progenitor of a race of enterprising and most valuable men, of which one, Robert Hooper (son of Greenfield Hooper, son of Robert Hooper the second) near a hundred years ago,  had usually the title, King Hooper.

ROBERT HOOPER, Marblehead, son of the preceding.  He married 4 December 1684, Ann Greenfield, had Greenfield, perhaps more. 

SAMUEL HOOPER, Marblehead.  He married at Boston, 16 February 1694, Mary White. 

WILLIAM HOOPER, Reading.  He came in the James from London 1635, aged 18, freeman 1648.  He had Mary, born 24 March 1646, probably for the last figure is uncertain.  As also, is that name of a son born 4 October 1648, who died September 1649; Ruth, 15 April 1653; Rebecca, 26 October 1656; William, 3 November 1658; Hannah, 31 March 1662; Elizabeth, 23 August 1665; Thomas, 2 April 1668; and John, 5 July 1670.  He was, perhaps, of Salem in 1668, then bought a tenement of David Thomas.  He died 5 December 1678.

WILLIAM HOOPER, Reading, son probably of the preceding died 1692.  Twelve of this name had, in 1830, been graduates at Harvard.

 

THOMAS HOPEWELL, Fairfield 1670.  He had Sarah, born at Windsor, 31 July 1658.  He died 17 August 1683.

 

CALEB HOPKINS, Plymouth, son perhaps youngest, of Stephen Hopkins the first, but old enough to bear arms 1643.  He died at Barbados, probably unmarried yet called "heir apparent," and made executor in the will of his father of 6 June 1644; which makes more remarkable the fact of Giles Hopkins being elder son, as related by Governor Bradford, and raises a doubt, whether the father had not been overruled to injustice by his second wife.

CALEB HOPKINS, Eastham, son of Giles Hopkins of the same.  He had Caleb, Nathaniel, Thomas, and Thankful, but by wife or whether before or after his removal to Truro is not told.  He died 1728.

EDWARD HOPKINS, Hartford.  He came to Boston 1637, with Reverend John Davenport, and Governor Theophilus Eaton (the daughter of whose second wife Yale, was wife of Hopkins), and went to Hartford perhaps the same year.  He was chosen Assistant in 1639, and Governor next year and thereafter in alternate years with John Haynes until he went home in 1652, and even in his absence, through hope of his coming, back, he was again chosen in 1654.  He had been, before coming hither, "a Turkey merchant in London," Says Hutchinson I. 82, "of good credit and esteem," yet, though a thorough puritan, he was not a member of the Massachusetts company in London.  But his intimate friend Eaton was one of the most active.  After reaching home, he was soon made a member of Oliver's Parliament and a commissioner of the Navy.  He made his will 17 March 1657, and died soon, in 58th year, near ten months before Governor Eaton, and within two or three days of his friend, Colonel Fenwick.  His widow Ann, daughter of David, or Thomas, Yale, after insanity of over 50 years, died 17 December 1698.  The liberal bequest in favor of Harvard College did not come to be enjoyed for near fifty-seven years.  See large extract from his will in a note to Winthrop History I. 228-30.  Probably she had no children.

GILES HOPKINS, Plymouth, eldest son of Stephen Hopkins.  He came with his father and mother in the Mayflower; and removed to Yarmouth.  He married October 1639, Catharine Wheldon (on record spelled as pronounced Catorne), had Mary, born 1640; Stephen, September 1642, who was of Eastham, and in infancy was named in the will of his grandfather; John, born and died 1643; Abigail, October 1644, married 23 May 1667, William Merrick; Deborah, June 1648; Caleb, January 1651; Ruth, June 1653; Joshua, June 1657; William, 9 January 1661, who was infirm in mind; and Elizabeth, November 1664, died soon.  He died about 1690.  The last six children were born probably at Eastham.

JOHN HOPKINS, Cambridge 1634, freeman 4 March 1635.  He removed to Hartford, was there an original proprietor the year before Governor Edward, to who we know not if he were related.  He died 1654, leaving widow Jane, and children Stephen, born about 1634; and Bethia about 1635, as Goodwin presumes.  The widow married Nathaniel Ward of Hadley.  Bethia married 27 May 1652, Samuel Stocking of Middletown; and next, James Steele of Hartford. 

JOSEPH HOPKINS, Charlestown.  He married 1 December 1686, Ruth Long.  He died 27 December 1690, aged about 32.  His widow died 2 March 1718.

JOSHUA HOPKINS, Eastham, son of Giles Hopkins.  He married 26 May 1681, Mary Cole, daughter of Daniel Cole, had John, born 16 April 1683, died at 16 years; Abigail, 9 March 1686; Elisha, 17 December 1688; Lydia, 1 April 1692; Mary, 20 January 1695; Joshua, 20 February 1698; Hannah, 25 March 1700; and Phebe, 11 March 1702.

RICHARD HOPKINS, Watertown.  He was punished 4 September 1632, for sale to an Indian of military stores. 

RICHARD HOPKINS, a soldier, December 1675, in Moseley's company.

SAMUEL HOPKINS, Milford 1658, at New Haven.  He married 5 December 1667, Hannah Turner, daughter of Captain Nathaniel Turner, had Samuel Wait Hopkins, as Mr. Porter, who marks the born 3 August not 30 following.  Would regard this as the first double name on our side of the water.  I do not accept the fact; but if Wait be fastened on the child it may seem rather to be nickname for his premature coming, born 30 August following; and Hannah, 2 May 1670.  He removed soon after from the Colony.

STEPHEN HOPKINS, Plymouth.  He came in the Mayflower, 1620, with wife Elizabeth, son Giles, and daughter Constance, both by former wife, and by this had Damaris, as also a son born on the voyage, called therefore, Oceanus, but he died within a year.  He also brought servant Edward Dotey, and Edward Leister, the duelists.  Deborah was born probably In 1622, before the division of land.  Other children also, they had, Caleb, Ruth, and another daughter who died before her father.  Besides Elizabeth his wife lived at Plymouth about 20 years.  He died 1644.  He had been an Assistant 1633-36.  Constance had married Nicholas Snow, before the division of cattle 1627, and she died 1676; Deborah married 1646, Andrew Ring; Damaris married 1646, Jacob Cooke; and Elizabeth died 1666, unmarried though she, instead of her elder sister (by unusual inadvertent of a correspondent of extraordinary accuracy in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 89) is called wife of Snow.  Abstract of his will is in Genealogical Registrar IV. 281.

STEPHEN HOPKINS, Hartford, only son of John Hopkins, freeman 1657.  He married Dorcas Bronson, daughter of John Bronson.  He died October 1689.  In his will mentions six children John, Stephen, Ebenezer, Joseph, Dorcas, wife of Jonathan Webster; and Mary, who married Samuel Sedgwick.  His wife died 13 May 1697.  The son John Hopkins had eight children of whom one was Samuel Hopkins, Yale College 1718, minister of West Springfield; and another Timothy Hopkins was father of Samuel Hopkins, Yale College 1741, of Newport, the Reverend amiable and ingenious elaborator of the theologian system that bears his name.  See Eliot's Biographical Dictionary

STEPHEN HOPKINS, Eastham, son of Giles Hopkins.  He married 23 May 1667, Mary Merrick, daughter of William Merrick, had Elizabeth, born the last week of June 1668; Stephen; 15 July 1670; Ruth, November 1674; Judah, January 1678; Samuel, March 1682; Nathaniel, 1684; Joseph, 1688; Benjamin, February 1690; and Mary, 15 April 1692.  He died 10 October 1718, having married 1701 second wife Bethia Atkins, who died 25 March 1726.  All the sons married and had families of which I would gladly offer details, were they in my power. 

THOMAS HOPKINS, Providence 1641, had followed Roger Williams in 1636 from Plymouth.  He married Elizabeth Arnold, daughter of William Arnold the first, had William, and Thomas.  He swore allegiance to Charles II in June 1668, as did though junior, in May 1671.  He was Representative some years and progenitor of Stephen Hopkins, the Governor.  See 3 Massachusetts History Collections I. 4.  I suppose he had Joseph, and perhaps other children certainly William.  He died 1699.

THOMAS HOPKINS, Providence, son of the first Thomas Hopkins.  He married (or at least was published) 1 April 1678, to Mary Smith, yet whose daughter she was may not be known.

WILLIAM HOPKINS, Stratford 1640, an Assistant 1641 and 42, but it is unknown whence he came, when he died or what wife or children he had.  Perhaps it was his daughter Mary, who after his death in virtue of a contract of marriage made by her mother Mary, wife of Richard Whitehead, of Windsor (who was living 1670), with William Lewis of Farmington, 1644, became wife of William Lewis, son of the bargainer.  If so, we might infer that our Connecticut Magistrate was then dead and his widow who married Richard Windsor was named Mary, but no other deduction of value could be drawn.

WILLIAM HOPKINS, Roxbury.  He had William, Thomas, and Hannah baptized at once, 6 May 1660; and Mary, 30 March 1662; but the town record gives none of the births except Hannah, 3 January 1657; and mentioned death of son Ebenezer in 1674.  Therefore we may suppose he was, at first, a worshipper, not inhabitant at Roxbury though in 1657, he was made grave digger.  The son Thomas Hopkins in Wadsworth's company was killed by the Indians 21 April 1676, and William Hopkins was a soldier in 1676, at Northampton, under Captain Turner, killed by the Indians that year.  The father died says Farmer, 28 April 1688, but my copy of town record says 5 November 1688.  He is then called senior.  His wife Hannah had died and daughter Mary died in 1678.

WILLIAM HOPKINS, Providence, swore allegiance in May 1668 (one month before his father Thomas Hopkins).  He married Abigail Whipple, daughter of John Whipple, had William (who by wife Ruth Wilkinson, daughter of Samuel and Plain Wilkinson was father besides three daughters and three other sons of the venerable Stephen Hopkins, Governor of the State, and immortal signer of the Declaration of Independence, as also of Esek, a distinguished naval officer, in support of the same cause).  There lived through that war, and was rewarded for his constancy.  Twenty-nine of this name had been graduates in 1834 at the various New England Colleges but not one at Harvard.

 

CALEB HOPKINSON, Bradford, perhaps son of Michael Hopkinson.  He married 25 November 1679, Sarah Wallingford.

MICHAEL HOPKINSON, Boston 1638, was in the employment of Jacob Eliot, says the record of the church when administered 6 January 1639.  On 24 November 1639 he was dismissed for the gathering of church at Rowley, where he lived.  He was freeman 13 May 1640.  He died 1648, I conjecture.  He married a daughter of Richard Swan the first of Rowley, and had Caleb, and John, who married 8 June 1676, Elizabeth Pearson, daughter of John Pearson; named in the will of Swan, 1678.  Farmer thought that John, who died 29 May 1704, and Jonathan, who died 11 February 1719, aged 76, at Rowley were his sons and perhaps he had sons.

MICHAEL HOPKINSON, for one of the name, at a later day.  He married Sarah Coleman, daughter of Thomas Coleman of Newbury.

 

DANIEL HOPPER, New Haven, administered freeman 22 May 1654.  Possibly the name should be Hooper.

 

NICHOLAS HOPPIN, Charlestown, called son of Stephen Hoppin, had been of Rye, in Connecticut jurisdiction.  He married 1684, Susanna Jacklin, and, next, 13 August 1707, Mabel Shippie, widow as I judge, of the second Thomas.  He died or was buried at Christ Church Boston, 31 August 1731.

STEPHEN HOPPIN, Dorchester 1633, lived on Thompson's Island.  He married Hannah Makepeace, eldest daughter of Thomas Makepeace, had in 1666, when only 42 years old, Deliverance, John, Stephen, Hannah, Sarah, Thomas, Opportunity, Joseph, and Benjamin, all named then in the will of their grandfather.  Some years he was of Roxbury, for the record of that town has Thomas, born 21 March 1655; and Opportunity, 15 November 1657, who married 17 January 1679, Thomas Lunt of Newbury.  The name in Genealogical Registrar XI. 330, is perverted to Hoppie.

 

JOHN HOPSON, see Hobson, Guilford 1664, born it is said 1610, which I doubt, embarked 1635 at London in the Globe, was constable 1666.  By wife Sarah, had John, born 16 March 1666; and Francis, who died young.  His wife 9 September 1669.  At Saybrook he married 3 or 9 December 1672  Elizabeth Shipman, daughter of Edward Shipman, had Elizabeth, born 22 June 1674; Abigail, 17 December 1677, died young; and Samuel, 10 January 1684.  But probably this last was by third wife Elizabeth Alling, daughter of John Alling, of New Haven, as I suppose the second wife died 1683.  He, in record of 1685, is called senior and written Hopson, and he died 3 July 1701.  His eldest daughter Elizabeth married Comfort Starr, son of Comfort of Middletown, and grandson of Thomas.

JOHN HOPSON, see Hobson, Guilford, son of the preceding.  He married 28 February 1701, Dorothy Lord, daughter of William Lord of Saybrook, had John, born 22 March 1703; and Sarah, 14 August 1705.  His wife died 12 October 1705.  He married 15 February 1707, Dorothy Leete, daughter of Andrew Leete of Guilford.  He was a Lieutenant and died 12 January 1731.

SAMUEL HOPSON, see Hobson, Guilford, youngest child of the first John Hopson.  He married 20 January 1710, Mary Fowler, perhaps daughter of Abraham Fowler, had only child Samuel,  born 21 October 1710.  The father died 27 December 1771, and the mother died 12 May 1783, but their son died 1760.

 

HORD. See Hurd.

 

ARMSTRONG HORN, or ARMSTRONG HORNE, Exeter, is given as the name of one who took oath of fidelity 30 November 1677, I suspect an error. 

JOHN HORN, or JOHN HORNE, Salem 1630, came, probably in the fleet with Winthrop but may have been earlier, freeman 18 May 1631; was Deacon and, Bentley says, in 1680, required Assistant by colleague "as he had been in that office about fifty years".  He died 1685, aged 82.  He had Recompense, baptized 25 December 1636; Jonathan, born 28 July, baptized 1 August 1658; both died before the father besides these who outlived him, John; Simon, 28 October 1649; Joseph; Benjamin; Elizabeth Gardner; Jehoadan Harvey; Mary Smith; and Ann Felton, 22 March 1657.  We may presume that his wife was Ann, as that name appears in Felt's list of earliest members of the church.  An Elizabeth Horn died at Newbury, says Coffin, 6 May 1672.  All descendants in our day spell Orne (as did he in his last will), who count nine among graduates at Harvard.  Joseph is the son from which is our best known stock. 

JOHN HORN, or JOHN HORNE, Salem, probably son of the preceding.  He married 30 October 1667, Mary Clark, had Mary, born 23 August 1668 and died at 1 year.  Perhaps he had by second wife Naomi that Jonathan, who died 6 October 1701.

JOHN HORN, or JOHN HORNE, Dover, son of William Horn.  He took a wife 30 June 1686, whose surname is not seen, and had John. 

JOSEPH HORN, or JOSEPH HORNE, Salem 1678, son of John Horn of the same. 

SIMON HORN, or SIMON HORNE, Salem, brother of the preceding.  He married 28 February 1676, Rebecca Stevens, widow probably of Samuel, had Joshua, born middle September 1677; and Simon, 11 January 1680. 

WILLIAM HORN, or WILLIAM HORNE, Dover, 1659.  At Salisbury by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 1 February 1662; John, 25 October 1663; William, 11 May 1674; Thomas, 28 November 1676; and Margaret, 10 May 1679.  He was killed by the Indians at the assault on Dover, 27 June 1689.  Perhaps he had Mary who married 28 June 1686, John Hayes.  I think his widow Elizabeth married John Waldron. 

WILLIAM HORN, or WILLIAM HORNE, Dover, son of the preceding.  He had Thomas.

 

JOHN HORNDEN, or JOHN HORNDALL, Newport, in the list of freeman 1655.  He had Mary, born 6 July 1647, who married John Stanton.  See Harndale.

 

EPHRAIM HORNER, or EPHRAIM HAWNER, in Colony Record, Rehoboth.  He was buried 27 August 1684.

 

EDWARD HORNETT, Huntington, Long Island, made freeman of Connecticut 1664.  Perhaps he is the same as Harnett.  See that name.

 

HUMPHREY HORRELL, Beverly, freeman 1682, is the strange record who I doubt not is due to the heedlessness of Secretary Rawson, or his Assistant unless by striking off the first letter, I am unable to conjecture what it should be.

 

JAMES HORSLEY; Newton.  He married Martha Parker, daughter of the first John Parker, had James.

JOSEPH HORSLEY, Rowley 1672.  He died 1699.

 

JOSEPH HORT, and SAMUEL HORT, Lynn, freeman 1691, perhaps brothers, of which no more is known.

 

TIMOTHY HORTMAN, a soldier in Philip's war, 1676, for discharge, of which his wife Catharine made petition, because he had served 17 weeks and had two children.  Another reason we learn from his later petition in which he says he had three children.  Once in the papers it is Heardman.

 

BARNABAS HORTON, Hampton 1640.  He went to Southold, Long Island, favored Connecticut and was next year made an officer.

BENJAMIN HORTON, perhaps brother of the preceding, lived at same place, same time, and

CALEB HORTON, too.

JEREMIAH HORTON, Springfield, son of Thomas Horton.  He had Nathaniel, born 1662; Jeremiah, 1665; Samuel, 1667; Thomas, 1668, Timothy, 1670; John, 1672; Mary, 1674; and Benjamin, 1682.  Besides two, of whom I know not the names; all were living when he died 18 August 1682.

JOHN HORTON, Guilford, was freeman 1669, but not a proprietor 1685.

JOSEPH HORTON, Southold, Long Island 1662, made freeman of Connecticut, was, perhaps, brother of Barnabas Horton.

THOMAS HORTON, Windsor, removed to Springfield 1638.  He died 1641.  By wife Mary, who married probably Robert Ashford, had only Jeremiah, before mentioned.

THOMAS HORTON, Charlestown.  He had Thomas, born 9 January 1655; John, 23 March 1657; and William, 13 January 1659, died in few days. The name is spelt without H in early records and sometimes Horten.

 

JAMES HORWOOD, came in the Christian, early in 1635, aged 30.  But no more is known of him. Possibly it is the same as Harwood, which see. 

JOHN HORWOOD, Boston 1663, perhaps only transient visiting.

 

JOHN HOSFORD, Windsor, son of William Hosford, freeman 1652.  He married 5 November 1657, Philippa (unless that be error for Phillis) Trall or Thrall, daughter of William Trall, had William, born 25 October 1658; John, 16 October 1660; Timothy, 20 October 1662; Esther, 27 May 1664; Sarah, 27 September 1666; Samuel, 2 June 1669; Nathaniel, 19 August 1671; Mary, 12 April 1674; and Obadiah, 20 September 1677.  All were living when he died 7 August 1683, leaving widow and good estate.

WILLIAM HOSFORD, Dorchester 1633, Dr. Harris marks him 1630, perhaps without reason; freeman 1 April 1634, when the name is spelt Horseford.  He removed to Windsor early with his daughter Sarah, who married 1 November 1642, Stephen Taylor of Windsor, and son John.  There his wife died 26 August 1641.  He married second wife Jane Fowkes, daughter of Henry Fowkes.  He probably removed to Springfield, and there preached from October 1652 (when Moxon gave up in disgust), to October 1654, and after several years both went home.  In England 1656 he gave land at Windsor to his two children and his wife, also gave some of her Iand to the church of Windsor and to her husband's children and to Esther Samwise, and to a sister Wildish in England, some of these before going home, some after.  In 1671, she was at Tiverton, County Devon.

 

SAMUEL HOSIER, Watertown.  He came, probably in the fleet, 1630, with Winthrop.  He requested administration 19 October 1630 and was recorded as freeman 18 May 1631.  He married 13 October 1657, probably as second wife Ursula Streeter, daughter of Stephen Streeter.  He died 1665, and in his will of 28 July 1665, probated 3 October 1665, he made her executrix, names Charles Stearns his son, gives Stephen Payne and his children and to his brother's son in England and his sister if living to Mrs. Prout, to his wife's children, and to his son Holland's children.  The widow married William Robinson of Dorchester, and had Griffin Crafts, for fourth husband.

JEREMY HOUCHIN, JEREMY HOUTCHIN, JEREMY HOWCHEN, or JEREMY HOWCHENES, Dorchester, a tanner, removed early to Boston, freeman 13 May 1640, artillery company 1641.  By wife Esther, had Mary, born 18 March 1640; Jeremy, baptized in Boston 12 March 1643, died perhaps on the day given by town record as that of birth 20 April 1643; Mehitable, 30 June 1644; Jeremy, again, 5, baptized 9 November 1651, died next month; Jeremy, again, 26, baptized 28 November 1652; Sarah, 10 March 1654; and John, 27 October 1655, and the three last probably died young.  But he had, also, probably at Dorchester (though Harris omits the name of so prominent a man), Elizabeth, who married 9 November 1653, John Endicot, son of the Governor and next, Reverend James Allen; and Nathaniel, 27 July 1658; and Rachel married 1673, Bozoan Allen, who succeeded to her father's business.  He was Representative for Hingham 1651-59, except 56, and for Salisbury 1663.  He died between 7 April 1670, the date of his will, and 31 May 1670 when it was probated. This document is of interest, because it refers to estate given to him in will of his father William Houchin (who probably was in England) at Harliston, in County Norfolk and names (besides the young children of his wife Esther) Nathaniel; and Rachel; daughter Esther; wife of Samuel Wheelwright, probably the eldest; Elizabeth wife of Reverend James Allen; and Mary, wife of Nathaniel Greene.

ROBERT HOUCHIN, ROBERT HOUTCHIN, ROBERT HOWCHEN, or ROBERT HOWCHENES, Newport.  By wife Rachel, had Mary, born 6 August 1666; and Alce, April 1668.

 

ATHERTON HOUGH, or ATHERTON HAUGH, Boston.  He had been Mayor of Boston, in County Lincoln, 1628, and was an Alderman there in 1633, when he resolved to come with his minister, famous John Cotton, and arrived with wife Elizabeth in the Griffin, 4 September 1633, freeman 4 March 1634, chosen an Assistant 1635, left out in 1637 as of Antinomian tendency, and chosen Representative for Boston at the same, and following courts.  His wife died 14 October 1643, and he took another wife at Wells, no doubt an adherent of Wheelwright, who was, however, recorded on dismissal thence into our church 4 April 1646.  He died 11 September 1650, leaving widow Susanna.  I find no will, nor any other church than Reverend Samuel.

JONATHAN HOUGH, or JONATHAN HAUGH, Farmington, brother of the preceding.  He had Mary, baptized 15 May 1692.

SAMUEL HOUGH, or SAMUEL HAUGH, Reading, son of Atherton Hough, born in England.  Came probably with his father, was instructor at Harvard College but not graduated.  Perhaps disgusted at the household economy of Mrs. Eaton, wife of the unlucky head of the Institute, ordained 26 March 1650.  He married Sarah Symmes, eldest daughter of Reverend Zechariah Symmes, (though from Genealogical Registrar XIII. 135, most readers would erroneously count her as youngest of all eight) had Samuel, born18 September 1651; Sarah; Zechariah, 22 August 1654, died soon; Mary, 23 December 1655; Elizabeth, who may have been earlier; and Rebecca, 20 March 1661, died in three months.  He was freeman 1651.  He died at the house of his brother-in-law Hezekiah Usher, in Boston, 30 March 1662.  His will of 25 December 1657, signed January 1658 and again 28 September 1661, to which the day before his death he added codicil names, besides own wife children and all the brothers and sister of the Symmes connection, calls William Whittingham his nephew, but does not allow us to learn how, directs that son Samuel Hough be brought up at College in which his advice was not successful.  His widow married 13 November 1662, Reverend John Brock, who was, the same day, instituted as successor in the church.  Sarah, the daughter married 26 February 1678, Ephraim Savage, as his second wife.

WILLIAM HOUGH, or WILLIAM HAUGH, New London, son of the preceding.  He married Ann Lothrop, daughter of Samuel Lothrop of Norwich.

 

JOHN HOUGHTON, Lancaster.  He came in the Abigail from London 1635, with certificates of two Justices, and the minister of Eaton Bray, near Dunstable, County Bedford, at the age of 4 years, says the custom house record yet it is doubtful what those dignitaries could certify.  He was not of Watertown, as Farmer had said, for Dr. Bond finds not the name, so that we may assign him to Concord or to either of the three or four towns then inhabited between the seashore and the central wilderness.  He removed to Lancaster about 1652.  He had wife Beatrice, and children Beatrice, born 3 December 1665; Benjamin, 25 May 1668; Sarah, 30 July 1672.  He was Representative 1690, and several years after new Charter.

JOHN HOUGHTON, Woburn.  He had Henry, born 23 February 1676; Joseph and Benjamin, twins 26 February 1678; Mary, 7 February 1680; Mercy, 15 March 1682.  He may have been son of the preceding, and probably removed.

JOHN HOUGHTON, Salem, 1692.

THOMAS HOUGHTON, Lynn 1664.

WILLIAM HOUGHTON, a butcher.  He came from London in the Increase 1635, aged 22, went in few years to Connecticut.

 

EDWARD HOUNSLOW, Scarborough 1676.

 

JOHN HOUSE, Cambridge.  He died 22 April 1644.  Probably Farmer should have called him child of Samuel House, and not given this prominence.

SAMUEL HOUSE, Scituate 1634, one of the founders of the church 8 January 1635.  He had Elizabeth, baptized 23 October 1636; and Sarah, 1 August 1641.  He removed to Cambridge, and probably some other town, where he may have had Samuel before going to Scituate.  He probably lived some years at Boston or Cambridge, there had John, born 6 December 1642, whom I presume, died at 1 1/4 years; for the name is never repeated at Cambridge in births, deaths, or marriages; but at Scituate had John, again, baptized 18 May 1645.  He died 1661.  His wife Elizabeth Hammond was daughter of William Hammond, and sister of William Paine; at least in Paine's will is left good legacy to Elizabeth House, daughter of Samuel Shouse and Elizabeth.

SAMUEL HOUSE, Scituate, son of the preceding, a shipwright.  He married 1664, Rebecca Nichols, daughter of Thomas Nichols, had Samuel, born 1665; Joseph, 1667; Rebecca, 1670; John, 1672; and Sarah, 1678, who married 1710, James Cushing.

DANIEL HOVEY, Ipswich, son of the preceding, freeman 1674.  He married 8 October 1660, Esther Treadwell, daughter of Thomas Treadwell of the same, had Daniel, born 24 June 1666 (I presume, though the record says 1665, for this birth and 1666 for the marriage); Nathaniel, 9 October 1667; Abigail; Thomas, 28 May 1673; John, 13 August 1675; Mary, 27 June 1678; Ebenezer, 11 January 1680, died soon; Ebenezer, again, 11 January 1682; and Mercy; and died 29 May 1695.  His will, made three days before (26 May 1695) named all the children but Daniel and Mary, was probated 25 June 1695 and appoints Nathaniel, and Thomas executors.

JAMES HOVEY, Ipswich, brother of the preceding.  He had son Daniel, but we know nothing more of him, except the family tradition of his daughter as above.

JOHN HOVEY, Ipswich, son perhaps eldest, of first Daniel Hovey.  He married 13 August 1665, Dorcas Ivory of Topsfield, had John, born December 1666; Dorcas, 16 January 1668; a daughter born 20 February 1671, who died in few days; Elizabeth, 18 January 1672; Susanna; Luke, 3 May 1676; Ivory; and Abigail, 28 April 1680.  His will of 22 March 1718 was probated 7 April 1718.

JOSEPH HOVEY, Hadley, brother of the preceding.  He married 1676, Hannah Pratt, perhaps daughter of John Pratt of Hartford, had Joseph, born 1677; Ebenezer, 1680; Hannah, 1682; John, 1684; Caleb, 1687; and Thomas.  He removed perhaps to Cambridge, but died at Milton, May or June 1690.

JOSEPH HOVEY, Cambridge.  He married 10 December 1702, Mary Marrett, daughter of John Marrett of the same, had Amos, born 26 January 1712, and perhaps others.

THOMAS HOVEY, Ipswich, son of the first Daniel Hovey.  By wife Mary, had Esther, born 22 December 1693; but I hear nothing further, unless (as seems unlikely), he be the same as preceding.  Five of this name had been graduates at Harvard in 1834, and four in other New England Colleges.

 

DANIEL HOWARD, Hingham, blacksmith, son of John Howard of Dartmouth.  He married 13 May 1672, Deborah Pitts, daughter of Edmund Pitts of the same, had, perhaps, Daniel, born in March 1673 who died at two years.  He may have removed soon to Dartmouth, where his father had given him lands the year after his marriage.

EDWARD HOWARD, Boston.  He married 7 June 1661, Hannah Hawkins, daughter of Thomas Hawkins the baker; and it is strange that we hear no more of him.

EDWARD HOWARD, Lynn, son of Robert Howard of the same.  By wife Martha, had Amos, born 16 April 1696; and Jane, 4 March 1699.

EPHRAIM HOWARD, Bridgewater, son of the first John Howard of the same.  He married Mary Keith, daughter of Reverend James Keith, had Jane, born 17 September 1689; Susanna, 8 March 1692; Martha, 7 August 1695; Ephraim, 25 May 1697; Daniel, 3 October 1699; David, 3 March 1703; Silence, 3 June 1705; and Mary, 21 December 1707.  He died aged 84, 11 August 1750.  His widow died aged 92, February 1760.

HENRY HOWARD, Hartford, had been at Wethersfield.  There married 28 September 1648, Sarah Stone, perhaps a sister of Reverend Samuel Stone, had Sarah, born 1651, died early; Sarah, again, 1653; Elizabeth 1656; John and Lydia, twins 1661; all at Wethersfield, besides Mary and Samuel, mentioned in his will, not found in the record.  He died March 1709, leaving good estate.  The name most frequent is, in the first syllable “ay”, but the children always have “o”.  Sarah married John Atchet, or John Adjet, had John, and Samuel, but died before her father, as did, probably Elizabeth; Lydia married Joseph Barnard; and Mary married Thomas Griswold.  John was of Wethersfield; Samuel, a trader at Hartford.

JAMES HOWARD, Boston 1677, of who I learn no more.

JOHN HOWARD, Dedham 1636-1660.

JOHN HOWARD, Bridgewater, one of the first settlers brought up by Captain Miles Standish, in 1643 was of Duxbury, a carpenter, Representative 1678, and often afterwards.  He married Martha Hayward, daughter of Thomas Hayward, had John, James, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Sarah, Bethia, and Ephraim; and is so the progenitor of a distinguished and numerous family.  Always called and spelled Howard.  The change came gradually, I think, by first disuse of “y” in Hayward, and next following the usual sound.  Elizabeth married Edward Fobes; Sarah married Zaccheus Packard; and Bethia married Henry Kingman.  He died about 1700.

JOHN HOWARD, Bridgewater, son of the preceding.  He married Sarah Latham, daughter of Robert Latham, had Susanna; Edward, born 1697; Robert, 1699; Martha; Sarah; and Bethia.  He died before1727.

NATHANIEL HOWARD, Charlestown.  He married 2 July 1666, Sarah Willard, daughter of Major Simon Willard, had Sarah, born 30 September 1667; Nathaniel, 9 November 1671.  His wife died 22 January 1678.  He married 1 July 1678 Sarah Parker, probably daughter of Jacob Parker, had Jacob, 28 March 1679, and lived at Chelmsford.  Perhaps he was of Dorchester before Charlestown, artillery company 1641, and freeman 1643.

NATHANIEL HOWARD, Malden, son of Samuel Howard of the same, was freeman 1690.

NEHEMIAH HOWARD, Salem.  He married 11 August 1657, Ann Dixy, daughter of William Dixy, had Sarah, born 3 March 1659; and Hannah, 1 August 1661. 

ROBERT HOWARD, Windsor 1643, is named under Hayward, and may be the miller at Windsor 1683, or his father.

ROBERT HOWARD, Lynn, about 1641.  He had Edward.

ROBERT HOWARD, Dorchester, freeman 1653.  By wife Mary, had Jonathan, Robert, Hannah, Jeremiah, Bethia, Mary, Temperance, and perhaps more, of who Mary and some others were born in England.  Removed to Boston about 1660, was a notary public, and died perhaps, early in 1683.  By the will of his widow Mary, 2 July, probated 19 of the same year we find some particulars of the family.  Hannah married 23 June 1670, Samuel Minot.  Besides her, the will provides for son-in-law William Clark, a mariner, who had, I presume.  He married a daughter since deceased; for daughter Bethia Messenger; for Samuel Bass, who was probably son of Samuel, by her daughter Mary, who had since married Isaac Jones; for Temperance Smith; for grandson John Howard, and his sister Amy, and Mary, who must have been child of a son deceased; for son Jeremiah; daughter Mary; and all the residue of estate to son Jonathan.

ROBERT HOWARD, Dorchester, son of the preceding, perhaps of Boston, the freeman of 1683.  By wife Elizabeth, had Sarah, born 17 September 1681; Robert, 22 December 1683 ; Samuel, 5 April 1689; and perhaps others. 

SAMUEL HOWARD, Malden.  By first wife whose name is unknown had Hannah, who married June 1666, Isaac Hills, and died before her father; Martha, born 15 March 1653; Mary, August 1654; Sarah, February 1656; Elizabeth, 25 September 1658, died at two years.  By second wife married late in 1662, Elizabeth Sweetser, daughter of Seth Sweetser, had Mary, August 1664.  By third wife married March 1671, Susanna Wilkinson, had Samuel, February 1672.  But probably by second wife most of these following: Abigail; Deborah; Ann, March 1669, died soon; another Elizabeth, who perhaps died 12 May 1686; Nathaniel; and Jonathan.  He died about 1697.

SAMUEL HOWARD, Boston.  By wife Isabel, had Peter, born 4 August 1654, died at 2 years; and Hannah, 11 April 1657; Mary, 15 September 1659.

THOMAS HOWARD, Lynn.  He married 15 November 1667, Ruth Jones, had Thomas, born 17 January 1669; Mary, 24 April 1672; Nathan, 17 September 1673; and Solomon, 5 August 1675. 

THOMAS HOWARD, Norwich 1660.  He married January 1667, Mary Wellman, daughter of William Wellman of Killingworth, had Mary, born December 1667; Sarah, February 1669; Martha, February 1672, died at one month; Thomas, March 1673; Benjamin, June 1675.  He died 1676.  His widow married August 1677 William Moore. 

WILLIAM HOWARD, Topsfield 1650, was living 1666.

WILLIAM HOWARD, Boston 1660, a witness to the will of William Paine, and a legatee also therein. 

WILLIAM HOWARD, Malden.  He had wife Martha, who died 6 May 1662.  An Elizabeth Howard died at Malden 12 May 1686.

WILLIAM HOWARD, Swanzey 1671.  By wife Sarah, had Mercy, born 30 January 1681.  Seven of this name had been, in 1829, graduates at Harvard, four at Yale, and ten at the other New England Colleges, including Union and New Jersey.

 

ANTHONY HOWD, Branford.  By wife Elizabeth Hitchcock, daughter of Matthias Hitchcock, married January 1673, had John, born 27 September 1673; Anthony, 11 November 1674; and Benoni, 10 September 1676.  He died not long before the last was born for his inventory is of June 1676, and the widow married 22 August 1677, John Nash.

 

ABRAHAM HOWE, Roxbury, freeman 2 May 1638.  He had Abraham, Elizabeth, and Sarah, one or more perhaps, born in England; Isaac, born here 24 June 1639; Deborah, 4 September 1641; and Israel, 7, baptized 14 July 1644.  His wife of whose baptized name we are ignorant died the first week of December 1645, "the most sad mortal week that ever Roxbury saw," says Eliot's church record.  He removed to Boston, perhaps, however, to Dorchester first, and died 20 November 1683.  He had probably other children.  Certainly Esther, named in his will, as wife of Henry Mason.  That instrument made 26 May 1676, probated 2 November 1676 calls Abraham his eldest son to him, Israel, and Isaac gives estate in Dorchester, daughters Esther and Deborah, besides, children of daughter Elizabeth and children (Joseph, Isaac, and Sarah), of daughter Sarah; executors son Israel, and son Thomas Pierce; and Thomas Tolman senior with Thomas Tilestone, senior Overseers.  Of his children little is known.

ABRAHAM HOWE, Roxbury, son of the preceding, probably born in England, may have lived in Boston or Dorchester some years.  He had at Roxbury: Abraham, baptized 25 September 1653; and Isaac, 30 March 1656; but I find not any other children of his, or the marriage though others may have been born elsewhere.

ABRAHAM HOWE, Watertown.  He married 26 March 1658, Hannah Ward, had Mary, born 30 June 1659; Joseph, 9 April 1661, probably died soon; and again, Joseph, 12 February 1662.  He removed to Marlborough.  He had Hannah, 1663; Daniel; Elizabeth, 1665; Deborah, 1667; Rebecca, 1668; Abraham, 1670; Sarah, 1672; and Abigail, 1675.  He died 1695.  The preceding year (1694) he kept the inn, at which the Commissioners of Massachusetts to treat with the Mohawks, lodged the first night of their journey.  Mary married a Bowker; Hannah married 1684, Eliezer Howe; Elizabeth married Samuel Brigham; Deborah married 1688, John Barrett; Rebecca married Peter Rice; and Sarah married Joseph Stratton.  Bond, 303, thought him the same as the preceding but I could not concur with him because near six months after the marriage of Watertown Abraham to Hannah Ward, Elizabeth Howe, wife of James of Roxbury is called his child by will of the first John Dane of Roxbury.

ABRAHAM HOWE, Roxbury, son of the second Abraham Howe of the same.  He had Sarah, born 8 December 1676; Elizabeth, 23 November 1678; and Abigail, 27 March 1682.  He died 12 January 1684, and, I think, the widow married next year.  Thus father son and grandson are little separated in death.

ABRAHAM HOWE, Lancaster.  By wife Mary, had Abigail, born 1702.  He was killed by the French and Indians 31 July 1704.  He was probably son of Abraham Howe of Marlborough.

DANIEL HOWE, Lynn, 1630, freeman 14 May 1631, artillery company 1637, of which he was the first Lieutenant, Representative 1636 and 37, removed to Southampton, Long Island about 1640, where he was one of the earliest settlers and purchasers under the Earl of Sterling.

DANIEL HOWE, Boston.  He came in the John and Sarah, embarked at London, November 1651, one of the prisoners, freighted in that ship, to be sold, as they unhappily survived the battle of Worcester, 3 September 1651.  How long he lived here is unknown.

DANIEL HOWE, Marlborough, son of Abraham Howe of the same.  He married 1686, Elizabeth Kerley, had Martha, born 1687; Hezekiah, 1690; Daniel, 1692; Jonathan, 1695; Elizabeth, 1697; David, 1700; and Zeruiah, 1702.

EDWARD HOWE, Watertown, freeman 14 May 1634, ruling elder, often selectman, and Representative 1635, 36, and 39, and had a hard lawsuit with Dudley of which Winthrop II. 51, speaks fully.  He died 24 June 1644.  His widow Margaret married George Bunker, and made her will 8 April 1647, probated 18 December 1660, by whom she gave one half of her estate to Nathaniel Treadway who had married her daughter Sufferance, two thirds of the residue to John Stone, who had married her other children Ann, and the remainder to her sister Mary Rogers and her children John, and Elizabeth of Boxtead, in County Essex.  His inventory taken by John Knowles, William Jennison, and John Sherman, 27 July 1661.  In our Probate Record II. 22, by the careless clerk who made the Index, is assigned to Edward Parill, and, as if that were not an improbably if not impossible name, it is taken into Genealogical Registrar VIII. 56.

EDWARD HOWE, Lynn.  He came in the Truelove 1635, aged 60, with Elizabeth his wife, 50, who survived him, and children: Jeremy, 21; Sarah, 12; Ephraim, 9; Isaac, 7; and William, 6.  He was freeman 8 December 1636, Representative at March, May, and September Courts 1638, and he died April 1639, very suddenly, as Winthrop I. 293, tells.  A widow Howe died at Lynn, 25 January 1672.  Felt.

ELIEZER HOWE, Marlborough, youngest son of first John Howe.  He married 1684, Hannah Howe, daughter of Abraham Howe, had Martha, born 1686; Deborah, 1688; Eliezer and Hannah, twins 1692; Gershom, 1694; Ephraim, 1699; and Eliezer, again, 1707.  He was freeman 1690.

EPHRAIM HOWE, New Haven, son of second Edward Howe.  He came with his father 1635.  He had Ephraim, born 3 April 1653; Sarah, 25 January 1655; July, 17 January 1657; Samuel, 1 September 1658; Daniel, 1 January 1664; Isaac, born 22 August baptized 16 September 1666; Abigail, born 23 April 1669; and Esther, 18 November 1671.  He died 8 September 1680, and his heirs were proprietors in 1685.  His widow Ann died 1712.  Daughter Sarah married 10 April 1682, Nathaniel Tuttle; Abigail married Daniel Brown; and Esther married 29 September 1692, as his second wife, James Trowbridge.  Of this man, who was a trader to and from Boston, the extreme suffering in returning home in his small vessel of 17 tons, from September 1676 to July 1677 is given in the first article of Magnalia VI. c.i. which had before been printed by Increase Mather in his Remarkable Providences.  Dixwell, the regicide, under the name of James Davids, took for his second wife 23 October 1677, Bathsheba How, either daughter or niece, no doubt, of Ephraim or Jeremiah. 

EPHRAIM HOWE, New Haven, son of the preceding.  He had Mary, born 8 December 1674.  I hear no more, but that he and brothers Isaac and Daniel.  He died 1690.  

EPHRAIM HOWE, Topsfield 1686.

ISAAC HOWE, Marlborough, brother of Eliezer Howe.  He married 1671, Frances Woods, had Elizabeth, born 1673; Sarah, 1675; Mary, 1677; John, 1680, died soon; John, again, 1682; Bethia, 1684; Hannah, 1688; and Thankful, 1691.  He died 1724, leaving widow Susanna.

ISAAC HOWE, Roxbury, son of Abraham Howe, probably the second of the same.  He married 11 May 1685, Deborah Howe, perhaps a cousin, but who was her father or where, or when she was born I find not.  He had in Roxbury, Abraham, born 24 October 1689; and Abigail, 4 February 1692.  Perhaps he removed.

ISRAEL HOWE, Sudbury, freeman 1680.

JAMES HOWE, Roxbury, freeman 17 May 1637, removed to Ipswich before 1648.  He married Elizabeth Dane, only daughter of the first John Dane of the same, had Sarah, and probably more children.  He died 17 May 1702, in 104th year according to Chief Justice Sewall, having a short time prior given evidence as to the bounds between Rowley and Ipswich.  Yet in the Dane pedigree, Genealogical Registrar VIII. 148, it is said he was born about 1605; so that he could have been only 96.  He came, perhaps, from Hatfield, County Essex, or the neighbor.  His daughter Sarah married it is said, 5 December 1666, John Bridges of Andover.

JAMES HOWE, Boston, perhaps had lived at Ipswich, son of the preceding, born about 1634.  He possibly (for the name is too common to allow certainty) had wife Elizabeth Jackson, daughter of William Jackson of Rowley.  He was freeman 1669.

JEREMIAH HOWE, Lynn, son of second Edward Howe.  He came with his father in 1635, removed to New Haven, there had Elizabeth, baptized 30 March 1645; Bethia, or Bathshua, born 15 May 1648; Jeremiah, 8 July 1630; Joseph, 22 October 1653; John, and Ebenezer, twins 26 June 1636.  He was a mariner and traded to West Indies.  He died 16 January 1691.  His daughter Elizabeth married May 1669, James Redfield; and Bethia married 23 October 1677, John Dixwell, the regicide, and outlived him.  Jeremiah, Zechariah, and Nathaniel, probably his sons or nephews were planters of Wallingford 1670.

JOHN HOWE, Sudbury, son of John Howe, Warwickshire (as a very respected writer in Worcester Magazine II. 130, gathers the tradition speaking of his relation to Howe, Earl of Lancaster, when such a title in the peerage had not existed for near two hundred years).  He had been a long time at Watertown, and was freeman 13 May 1640.  By wife Mary, had John, born 24 August 1640; Samuel, 20 October 1642; Sarah, 25 September 1644; Mary, 18 January 1646, died young; Isaac, 8 August 1648; Josiah; Mary, again, 18 January 1654; Thomas; Daniel, 3 January 1638, died young; Alexander, 1661, died soon; Daniel, perhaps twin with the last in births and deaths; and Eliezer, 1662.  He had petitioned 1656, for the grant of Marlborough, and removed thither with his family.  He died 10 July 1678.  His widow lived twenty years later.  Sarah married a Ward; and Mary married 1672, John Wetherby.

JOHN HOWE, Marlborough, eldest son of the preceding.  He married 22 January 1662 Elizabeth, had John, born 1671; and Elizabeth, 1675.  He was killed by the Indians 20 April 1676.

JOHN HOWE, Topsfield, born about 1640, freeman 1685.

JOSEPH HOWE, Lynn 1640.  He had daughter Elizabeth, and he died about 1651.  His will of 10 February 1651 was probated 26 June 1651.

JOSEPH HOWE, Boston, a cooper, freeman 1657.  He married 16 July 1532, perhaps as second wife Frances Willey, daughter of Thomas Marshall, but whose widow she was I know not, unless she were of that lsaac, who Caulkins gives, I think justly, to Clement Minor.  Probably there is some confusion in the record.  This wife of Howe had been brought by her father from England and Isaac Willey's wife was a very young woman, born here.  He had Joseph, born 25 June 1653; and Sarah, 28 February 1656; besides Thomas, 7 February 1659; Mary, 17 March 1661; Hannah, 15 April 1665; Lydia, 16 March 1667; Ruth, 4 March 1670; and Samuel, 28 December 1674. 

JOSEPH HOWE, Boston, son of the preceding.  He married in October 1673, Elizabeth Binney of Hull.

NATHANIEL HOWE, New Haven, son of Jeremy Howe, took oath of fidelity 1 May 1660.  He had daughter Elizabeth, born 27 July 1666; a son 20 September 1669; another July 1671; but names of both and of wife are unseen.

NICHOLAS HOWE, perhaps of Roxbury.  He married 19 January 1672, Mary Sumner, daughter of  William Sumner the second.

SAMUEL HOWE, Sudbury, son of the first John Howe, 1672, Mary, daughter.  He married 1663, Martha, daughter of John Bent, had John, born 24 July 1664; Mary, 1665; Lydia; Samuel, 1668; Martha, 1669; Daniel, 1672, died at 8 years; and David, 2 November 1674.  He was freeman 1671.  His wife died 1680, and he had second wife Sarah, and had other children by her.  He was a Colonel.

THOMAS HOWE, Yarmouth 1640.

THOMAS HOWE, Marlborough, brother of Eliezer.  By wife Sarah, had James, born 1685; Jonathan, 1687; Prudence; Tabitha; Thomas, 1692; and Sarah 1697.  He was 35 years old, when he swore, 27 December 1689, with Captain Kerley, against Andros.  See Revolution in New England Justif. 35.

WILLIAM HOWE, Dorchester 1641, says Farmer, who adds, that he probably went to Chelmsford, about 1656; but I doubt, if he were ever at Dorchester and presume, that he lived at Concord.  There by wife Mary, had Daniel, who died 4 June 1657; Sarah, born 17 July 1658, died young; and Hannah, 3 December 1660.  He was son of Jeremy.  He married  22 March 1667, Sarah, sister of Matthew, 18 November 1672 and had Samuel.  He died 1703. 

ZECHARIAH HOWE, New Haven, administered to oath of fidelity 1 May 1660.  He had John, born 21 December 1667, says Dodd, but says no more.  But other children were Zeceriah, 31 March 1670; Matthew and Sarah.  He died 1703.  Seven of this name had been graduates in 1834, at Harvard and twenty-three at other Colleges in New England.

 

ABRAHAM HOWELL, may have been son or brother of Rice Howell of Dover.  In 1658 he was called 26 years old.

ABRAHAM HOWELL, Southampton, Long Island, son of Major John Howell.  He married 19 October 1682, Abigail White, daughter of John White, had Abraham, born 30 July 1683; and Charles, 19 March 86.  After death of the first wife 19 June 1688, he married 2 October 1690, Ann James, perhaps daughter of the second Reverend Thomas James of Easthampton, had Philip, 25 September 1691; and Ebenezer, 12 June 1693.  He was a Captain, town treasurer, and justice 1712, but I know not the time of his death.

ARTHUR HOWELL, Easthampton, Long Island, son of Edward Howell of the same.  He married February 1658, Elizabeth  Gardiner, daughter of Lyon Gardiner; had Elizabeth, and she died probably in 1658.  He removed to Southampton, the next town.  He married Hannah Rayner, daughter of Thurston Rayner, had Arthur, who died 24 March 1683; Hannah, born 7 December 1664; Abiah, 22 October 1666; Martha, 24 September 1668; Elinor, 1 September 1670; Thomasine, 22 May 1 672; Elisha, 18 September 1674; Lemuel, 31 July 1677; and Penelope, 19 December 1679.  He was the youngest son of Edward Howell the first, born probably in England.  He died 29 March 1683.

EDMUND HOWELL, Southampton, son of the first Edward Howell, perhaps born in England.  He married Sarah Sayre, daughter of Thomas Sayre, but Goodwin says of Joseph Judson, and that the marriage was of 1 November 1664; and this may have been first, and Sayre's daughter; second wife.  He had Sarah, who died 10 April 1685; and Elizabeth, born 10 October 1669.

EDWARD HOWELL, Lyme, freeman 14 March 1639, with prefix of respect, had 500 acres at that place, but removed to Long Island soon.  He was one of the grantees of Southampton in the Indians deed 1640, and made an Assistant or a Magistrate 1647, and six years or more after, under jurisdiction of Connecticut.  He had John, born about 1625; Edmund; Edward; Richard; and Arthur, who may all have been born in England, and he was dead before 25 May 1656.

EDWARD HOWELL, Southampton, son of the preceding.  He married Mary Fordham, daughter of Reverend Robert Fordham, had Joseph, Jonathan, Samuel, Jonah, Edward, Benjamin, Thomas, Sarah, Mary, Deborah, and Phebe.  But it is not certain that this was the order of their births nor is any date known for him or his family except that of his will 29 April 1699.

EPHRAIM HOWELL, Southampton, son of Major John Howell.  He married 10 November 1684, had Ephraim, born 10 October 1685, and perhaps others.

JOHN HOWELL, Southampton, Long Island, eldest son of Edward Howell the first, born in England, was in 1664, a magistrate having been a Representative 1662.  He died 3 November 1696, as on his tomb, where he is called Major, aged 71, appears.  Though we find not the name of his wife, eleven children are seen on the records: John, born 28 November 1648; Edward, 22 March 1650; Matthew, 8 November 1651; Abraham, 22 January 1654; Ephraim, 1 January 1656; Susanna, 15 July 1658; Hannah, 28 October 1660; Theophilus, 18 December 1662; Nathaniel, 29 August 1664; Prudence, 27 December 1666; and Abigail, 5 July 1670.

THEOPHILUS HOWELL, Southampton, son of Major John Howell.  He was Captain 1711, and useful to 1724.

THOMAS HOWELL, Marshfield 1643.  He died in few years, for we find that his nephew Job Lane, named executor of the will, made on his deathbed in June 1647, being, then in England, declined that trust in October 1647.  Thirteen of this name had, in 1839, been graduates at New Jersey and the Colleges of New England.

JOSEPH HOWES, Yarmouth, brother of Jeremiah Howes.  He married Elizabeth Mayo, daughter of Reverend John Mayo, had Samuel, Joseph, John, Nathaniel, Thomas, Amos, Mary, Elizabeth, and Hannah.  He died I suppose, early in 1696.  His will, which gives the names of all the children being of 17 January 1696.  His widow died 1701.

ANTHONY HOWKINS, as Trumbull, Collection Record spells the name, is the same as Anthony Hawkins.  Such was the form for a hundred years.

ARTHUR HOWLAND, Marshfield 1643, or earlier, not thought to be near relative of Mayflower John.  By wife Margaret Read, a widow, had Arthur, Deborah, and Mary; besides Martha, and Elizabeth, as Miss Thomas gives the children.  In 1669 he was aged and poor, and died 30 October 1673.  His widow died 12 October 1683.  Deborah married 4 January 1648, John Smith of Plymouth; Mary married 6 June 1653, Timothy Williamson; Martha married John Dawson; and Elizabeth married John Low.

ARTHUR HOWLAND, Marshfield, only son of the preceding.  He married 9 December 1667, Elizabeth Prince, daughter of Governor Thomas Prince, though he had in 1660, been fined £5, for making proposition to her without assent of the father.  He had, as Miss Thomas tells, Ebenezer, Thomas, Abraham, and Prince.

HENRY HOWLAND, Duxbury 1633, may have been brother of the first Arthur, was a grantee of Bridgewater 1645, but did not remove.  He died 1670, leaving widow Mary, who died 16 June 1674.  His will of 28 November 1670, besides wife mentioned, eight children Joseph, Zoeth, John, Samuel, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary, and Abigail.

JOHN HOWLAND, Plymouth, of the ever honored passenger who came in the Mayflower 1620 the latest survivor except John Alden, among the adult males.  Though a minor daughter of lsaac Allerton, Mary, who married Elder Thomas Cushman, lived more than 78 years after the landing.  He was a servant or attendant of Governor Carver, yet he is in rank the thirteenth signer of the Covenant, 11 November and was reckoned as part of the family of Governor Carver, which gave occasion, no doubt, to the vain tradition prevailing for the last century and a half that his wife Elizabeth was daughter of the Governor who, perhaps, never had a child certainly brought none.  Both the Governor and his wife died in the first season, and Howland, at the time of their arrival 28 years old.  He married Elizabeth Tilley, daughter of John Tilley (who with his wife about soon after landing, leaving only this child), we are hardly permitted to doubt, early in 1621, as his children John, born 24 February 1627, and Desire are named at the division of cattle 1627, and he seems to have counted as many heads at the partition of lands 1623-24.  For correction of the long prevalent error, that he married a daughter of Governor Carver, we are indebted to Bradford's History formerly part of the New England Library of Prince, in the tower of Old South church at Boston, discovered 1855, in the Library of the Baptisms of London at Fulham.  He was an Assistant 3 years as early as 1633-35, and often a Representative.  He died 23 February 1673, aged more than 80, and his widow died 21 December 1687, aged 80.  His will, of 29 Mar 1672, names ten children we may hope in the order of birth of each sex, but we are ignorant of the exact dates or sequence of any, except that John is by it called eldest, and Isaac, youngest, Jabez, and Joseph; Desire, who was the first child married 1643, John Gorham and died 13 October 1683; Hope, wife of John Chipman, as early as 1646; Elizabeth married 13 September 1649 Ephraim Hicks, and 10 July 1651, John Dickenson; Lydia, wife of James Brown of Swanzey; Hannah married a Bosworth, Nathaniel, as by the scrupulous writer of the life of the late John Howland, page 11, is said and in his will she is named Bosworth; and Ruth married 7 or 17 November 1664, Thomas Cushman, son of the Elder.

JOHN HOWLAND, Barnstable, eldest son of the preceding.  He married 26 October 1651, Mary Lee, daughter of Robert Lee, had probably Mary; Elizabeth, born 17 May 1655; Isaac, 25 November 1659; Hannah, 15 May 1661; Mercy, 21 January 1663; Lydia, 9 January 1665; Experience, 18 July 1668; Ann, 9 September 1670; Shubael, 30 September 1672; and John, 31 December 1674.  He lived first at Marshfield, but at Barnstable spent most of his days, was Lieutenant and selectman.  In April 1702, he told Chief Justice Sewall he was born 24 February 1627.

JOSEPH HOWLAND, Plymouth, brother of the preceding, but not youngest, as sometimes supposed.  Married 7 December 1664, Elizabeth Southworth, only daughter of Thomas Southworth, but issue is unknown.  He was Representative 1677.

ZOAR HOWLAND, Newport.  By wife Abigail, married December 1656, had Nathaniel, born 5 October 1657; Benjamin, 8 May 1659; Daniel, July 1661; Lydia, 23 June 1663; Mary, 23 February 1666; Sarah, April 1668; Henry and Abigail, twins 30 August 1672.  No connection can be traced with the family of the Mayflower celebrated but he must be regarded as an independent stock, too old to be grandson of the first John.

 

JOHN HOWLETT, Boston, mariner.  He died before 1676, when his widow Susanna sold his estate.  She was daughter of Francis Hudson, had one child by Howlett and married Edmund Perkins.

THOMAS HOWLETT, Boston 1630, came, probably in the fleet with Winthrop went early in 1633 with young John Winthrop to plant Ipswich, freeman 3 March 1634, and Representative 1635.  He married Alice French of Boston, had Sarah, who married John Cummings; Thomas; and others.  He was Ensign, and died 22 December 1667, leaving widow Rebecca, who died at Newbury, 1 November 1680; and Samuel, who may have been of Topsfield 1661, unless this was the father.  A William Howlett graduated at Harvard 1727, was dead before 1759.  He was, probably a descendant.

 

JOHN HOWMAN, came, probably in the fleet with Winthrop requested 19 October 1630 to be made freeman, but as the administration is not found after.  Perhaps he died soon, or went home.

 

JOHN HOYLE, Marblehead 1674.

 

DAVID HOYT, Hadley, son of Nicholas Hoyt.  He married 1673, Sarah Wells, daughter of Thomas Wells, had Samuel, born 1674, died young; David, 1676.  His wife died that year (1676).  He had second wife Mary, and third, Abigail Pomeroy, daughter of Joshua Pomeroy.  He removed to Deerfield, there was Deacon, and had born there Mary, about 1684; Jonathan, 1685; Sarah, 6 May 1686; Benjamin, 15 September 1692; Ebenezer, 21 August 1695; and Abigail, 1 May 1701.  On page 123 of the valuable "Hoyt family" printed 1857, the first wife is called Mary Wells, the second Sarah Wilson; and the birth of Jonathan is given as 6 April 1688.  I must prefer the authority that makes the first wife Sarah, not Mary.  In the assault by the French and Indians 29 February 1704, he, with his wife and the children Jonathan, Sarah, Ebenezer, and Abigail were made prisoners and carried away for Canada, but the youngest was killed on the road, and the Deacon perished of hunger near the lower Cohos.  The wife and two elder children came back, while Ebenezer remained in that country.  The widow married Deacon Nathaniel Rice.  David the son was killed on the morning of the surprise, leaving daughter Mary.  Jonathan Hoyt was the progenitor of the gentleman who in our days have in that quarter done honor to the name.

JOHN HOYT, Salisbury 1640.  By wife Frances, had Frances, born about 1636; John, about 1638; both, perhaps, born in England; Thomas and Gregory, twins 1 January 1641; Gregory died 1 February 1643; Elizabeth, born 23 February 1643.  His first wife died 23 February 1643.  By another wife whose name was Frances, had Sarah, 16 January 1645, died 26 February 1645; Mary, 20 February 1646; Joseph, 13 May 1648, died soon; 2d Joseph, 27 November 1649, died 24 January 1650; Margaret, 24 November died 2 December 1653; Naomi, 23 January 1655; Dorothy, 13 April 1656; and Mehitable, 25 October 1664.  From Pike's Journal we learn, that he was killed by the Indians probably between Andover and Haverhill, 13 August 1696.  His daughter Frances, born probably before her father came to Salisbury, married 14 January 1655, John Colby; and Mary married 19 December 1663, Christopher Bartlett of Newbury.  Naomi married 23 March 1678, John Lovejoy, junior,

JOHN HOYT, Fairfield 1650, freeman 1664.

JOHN HOYT, Salisbury, son of the first John Hoyt of the same, born in England.  He married 23 June 1659, Mary Barnes, eldest daughter of William Barnes of the same, had William, born 5 September 1660; Elizabeth, 8 February 1662; John, 28 March 1663; Mary, 11 October 1664; Joseph, 14 July 1666; Sarah; Rachel, 28 June 1670; Dorothy, 29 January 1674; Grace, 29 March 1676; and Robert.  At Amesbury, where I know not any other John, at that time, he is called junior when taking the oath of fidelity 20 December 1677.

JOHN HOYT, Norwalk, son of Walter Hoyt.  He married 14 September 1666, Mary Lindall, daughter of Henry Lindall, had John, born 21 June 1669; Samuel, 17 October 1670; Thomas, 5 January 1675; Mary, 1 September 1677; and Deborah, 28 December 1679.  Perhaps he was of Duxbury 1685.

JOHN HOYT, Amesbury, son of the second John Hoyt of Salisbury.  By wife Elizabeth, had Lydia, born 15 June 1686; Mary, 5 March 1688; and Daniel, 2 March 1690.  He died 24 August 1691, and his widow married 6 January 1693, John Blaisdell.

JONATHAN HOYT, Windsor, son of Nicholas Hoyt.  He married Sarah Pond, daughter of Samuel Pond.  He removed about 1671 to Guilford, there had family, and he died 21 March 1697, leaving widow Mary, children Jonathan, then aged 24, who lived but 7 years after; Mercy, 18; Hannah, 16; and Samuel, 13.

JOSEPH HOYT, Salisbury, son of second John Hoyt of the same.  He married 5 October 1702, Dorothy Worthen, perhaps daughter of Ezekiel Worthen of the same, had John, born 2 July 1703; Mehitable, 25 November 1705; Joseph, 10 January 1708; Ezekiel, 7 January 1710; Judith, 22 February 1712; Nathan, 16 February 1714; Moses, 23 March 1716; and Dorothy, 23 August 1718.  He died 1720.

MOSES HOYT, Fairfield 1658-1665 and later.  He may have been son of Simon Hoyt.

NICHOLAS HOYT, Windsor, may have been brother of the preceding.  He married 2 June, or 12 July 1646, Susanna Joyce, had Samuel, born 1 May 1647; Jonathan, 7 June 1649; David, 22 April 1651; Daniel, 10 April 1653, who died 1655, as did both his father and mother.  Samuel died young, unmarried, and of this stock Jonathan and David alone survived.

ROBERT HOYT, Amesbury, youngest son of John Hoyt the second of Salisbury.  He married 4 December 1701, Martha Stevens, had Hannah, born 27 December 1702; and Abigail, 29 May 1705.  By second wife married 17 Mar 1707, Mary Currier, had Martha, 19 May 1708; Mary, 10 December 1709; Theodore, 24 April 1711; Dorothy, 22 April 1714; Aaron, 30 March 1716; Ann, 9 May 1718; and Miriam, 25 June 1720.

SIMON HOYT, or SIMEON HOYT, Dorchester, had been at Charlestown 1629, freeman 18 May 1631, removed about 1639 to Windsor (but he had first been at Scituate 1633-6).  There with his wife, had Benjamin, 2 February 1645, probably his youngest child as he brought several from England, at Windsor but probably removed 1650 to Fairfield, soon after removed again, to Stamford.  He died 1659.

THOMAS HOYT, Salisbury, probably son of the first John.  By wife Mary Brown, daughter of William Brown of Salisbury, had Thomas; William, born 19 October 1670, died in few days; Ephraim, 16 October 1671; John, 5 April 1674; William, again, 8 April 1676; Israel, 16 July 1678; Benjamin, 20 September 1680; Joseph, about 1684; one daughter of who we see not the name; and daughter Deliverance, 2 May 1688, died in few days.  Perhaps by another wife he had Mary, 1 October 1690, who died in few weeks.  He died 3 January 1691.

WALTER HOYT, Windsor, son of Simon Hoyt, born probably in England.  He had John, born 13 July 1644, and another child besides, it is said, and Zerubabel.  He removed to Norwalk with first settlers about 1653, was Representative 1658 often to 1681.  In records of Windsor is "old goody Hoyt."  He died 1643, and we may presume she was either mother of Walter or of Simon.  His name is usually Haite or Hayte, but his son bear the modern spelling.

WILLIAM HOYT, Amesbury, took oath of fidelity 20 December 1677, on being enrolled in the military.  He married 12 January 1688, Dorothy Colby, daughter of Samuel Colby, had Elizabeth, born 15 June 1689; Dorothy, 20 July 1691; Abner, 25 January 1693; Mary, 21 November 1694; Susanna, 20 February 1696; Philip, 1 April 1697; William, 15 August 1702; Hope, or Hopestill, a daughter 6 September 1704; and Miriam, 31 October 1710.  He died 19 July 1728.

ZERUBABEL HOYT, Norwalk, son of Walter Hoyt.  He had Abigail, born 2 February 1676, and possibly others not found in the record.  The spelling of this name has been depraved to Hight and more than a dozen other forms.  Eleven of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at the New England Colleges besides some, written Hoit, at Dartmouth College, none at Harvard.

 

DANIEL HUATT, Guilford 1669.

 

ANTHONY HUBBARD, probably of Dedham 1648, as in the will of Michael Bacon.  See Genealogical Registrar VII. 231.

BENJAMIN HUBBARD, Charlestown 1633.  With wife Alice, he probably came with his mother Elizabeth who died at Boston 6 January 1644; having in her will eight days before as is seen in Genealogical Registrar III. 77, other children Hannah, Sarah, and Rachel.  But inquiry who was his father or her husband is disheartening; and we may presume he was dead before they left England.  He was freeman 3 September 1634, and was in 1636 one of only a dozen householders enjoying prefix of respect.  He was a cautious friend of Wheelwright, there was made clerk of the writs December 1641.  Perhaps removed to Boston.  He had Benjamin, born 24, baptized 30 March 1634; Elizabeth, 4 April baptized 16 May 1636; Thomas, 31 May, baptized 3 June 1639; Hannah, 16 December 1641; and James, 9 September 1644; all at Charlestown.  But he certainly went home, and wrote to Governor Winthrop a letter from London, 1644, speaking in it of his "invention concerning longitude."  He died 28 October 1660.

DANIEL HUBBARD, Guilford, son of George Hubbard of the same.  He married 17 November 1664, Elizabeth Jordan, had Daniel, born 1 August 1666; Elizabeth, 3 January 1669; Ebenezer, 18 August 1673; Mary, 16 February 1676; John, 14 December 1678; and Abigail.  He died 1720.

DANIEL HUBBARD, Middletown, son of George Hubbard of the same.  He married 24 February 1670, Mary Clark, had only Daniel, born 1673.  His wife died 24 December 1673.  He married 16 October 1675, Sarah Cornwell, daughter of William Cornwell, had Margaret, 20 July 1676, died young; Mary, 16 January 1678; Sarah, 10 March 1681; Mehitable, 18 August 1683; and Mary, again, 23 March 1686.  He died 9 November 1704.

GEORGE HUBBARD, Wethersfield 1636, probably went from Watertown, Representative 1638 in the first General assembly and several times after.  He removed 1643 to Milford, thence to Guilford 1650, where he was of importance, probably Representative to New Haven, certainly after the union of the two colonies, 1665 and 66.  He died January 1683.  His will of 23 May 1682 with codicil of 30 December 1682 names sons John, Daniel, and William; and daughters Mary, wife of John Fowler; Sarah Harrison, or Morrison; Abigail, wife of Humphrey Spinning; Hannah, probably wife of Jacob Melyne or Melyen, and Elizabeth unmarried.  But she became second wife of John Norton of Guilford.  Daniel, Abigail, and Hannah were baptized 26 May 1644, at Milford.  Of these, no doubt, some were born before he came to Wethersfield probably on the other side of the ocean.  Of his wife Mary we know that she died 14 September 1676, but when he married her, or whether she was mother of all or any of the children is not known.  His grandson John Spinning was named in his will, but not father or mother so that we may infer, one or both must have died.

GEORGE HUBBARD, Hartford, perhaps as early as 1639, but it is not known from what town in Massachusetts he went.  He married Elizabeth Watts, daughter of Richard Watts of the same, had Mary, born 16 January 1642; Joseph, 10 December 1643; Daniel, baptized 7 December 1645; Samuel, May 1648; and George, 15 December 1650.  He removed to Middletown, there had Nathaniel, 1 December 1652; Richard, July 1655; and Elizabeth, 15 January or February 1660.  He was made freeman 1654, and he died 18 March 1685.  In May 1685 in dividing his estate, seven children are named: Mary, wife of Thomas Ranney, aged 44; Joseph, 42; Daniel, 41; Samuel, 37; Nathaniel, 33; Richard, 30; and Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Wetmore, 25.  His son George died at Middletown 1675 unmarried; Mary married May 1659; and Elizabeth married 20 February 1685.

HUGH HUBBARD, New London, about 1670, said to be from Derbyshire, England.  He married March 1673, Jane Latham, daughter of Cary Latham, had Mary, born 17 November 1674; Lydia, 7 February 1676; Margaret; Jane; and a son who died infant; besides Ann, living at his death 1685.  His widow married John Williams, and she died 3 May 1739, says Caulkins, aged 91.

JAMES HUBBARD, Watertown.  He was buried 26 January 1639, leaving by wife Sarah, who married William Hamlet, Thomas, born 10 August 1638, and others perhaps born in England, James, and Sarah, who married Samuel Champney.

JAMES HUBBARD, Lynn 1637, had house and land at Charlestown.  He went to Long Island 1641.  At Gravesend 1664, had a commission from Connecticut jurisdiction.

JAMES HUBBARD, Cambridge, may have been son of Watertown James Hubbard.  He married 29 September 1659, Sarah Winship, had Sarah, whose date is not found; and Mary, born 22 October 1665.  Then his wife died, and he married 8 January 1668, Hannah Ives, daughter of Miles Ives, who died 24 November 1690.  He died 28 August 1693.  One of this name from Cambridge was a soldier in 1676 whose wife (named Jane) petitioned for his discharge as he was "extremely afflicted with the toothache," and perhaps the sufferer died 17 March 1678 at Northampton.

JOHN HUBBARD, Wethersfield, son of the first George Hubbard, born probably in England.  He had Mary, born 27 January 1651, died young; John, 12 April 1655; Hannah, 5 December 1656, died young; and Jonathan, 3 January 1659.  He removed to Hadley, there had Daniel, 9 March 1661; Mercy, 23 February 1664; Isaac, 16 January 1667; Mary, 10 April 1669; and Sarah, 12 November 1672.  He removed last to Hatfield, there died before March 1706, when his will of August 1702 was presented and all these seven children were living.

JOHN HUBBARD of Boston, whose name is spelt Hubert in the town record of Roxbury.  There by Rebecca is said to have had Sarah, born 21 September 1684; and a daughter without name, in April 1686.  He may have been the soldier, December 1675, in Johnson's company.

JONATHAN HUBBARD, Concord, brother of the preceding.  He married a Meriam, whose uncle gave him land at Concord where he died 1728. 

JOSEPH HUBBARD,  Middletown, son of George Hubbard of the same.  He married 29 December 1670, Mary Foster, or Mary Porter, as in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 68; had Joseph, born 22 October 1671; Robert, 30 October 1673; George, 7 October 1675; John, 30 July 1678; Mary, 23 January 1681, died soon; and Elizabeth, 26 March 1683.  He died 26 December 1686, leaving five children.  The widow died 10 June 1707.

NATHANIEL HUBBARD, Ipswich, son of John Hubbard, and grandson of Reverend William Hubbard.  He removed to Dorchester, a gentleman of high reputation, counselor and Judge of the Supreme Court.  Hutchinson II. 147.  But the historian dropped a generation making the judge son of the clergyman.

RICHARD HUBBARD, Ipswich, son of William Hubbard the first of the same, came with his father and brother William Hubbard, embarked 17 July 1635, at London.  He married Sarah Bradstreet, daughter of Governor Bradstreet.  He was Representative 1660, as by mistake Farmer said.  He died 3 May 1681, leaving Sarah; Richard; Nathaniel; John; and Simon.  His widow married Captain Samuel Ward.  Sarah married Reverend John Cotton of Yarmouth.

RICHARD HUBBARD, Boston, freeman with prefix of respect 1669.

RICHARD HUBBARD, Dover 1658, may have been an Ipswich man 1668, but not probably as he resided but short time.

RICHARD HUBBARD, Salisbury, son probably of the first Richard Hubbard, freeman 1690.  By wife Martha Ayer, sister of Peter Ayer, had Comfort, born 17 January 1682; Jemima and Kezia, twins 11 November 1684; Richard, 9 March 1687; Eleazer, 27 October 1689; and another child perhaps Mary, but the record is uncertain.

RICHARD HUBBARD, Boston, mariner.  He married Elizabeth Clark, daughter of Dr. John Clark, had Richard, born 14, baptized 16 April 1699, and must have died soon after, if not before for his widow.  She had administration of his estate 24 May 1699, and she married 18 August 1703, Reverend Cotton Mather.

ROBERT HUBBARD, Boston.  He married 2 June 1654, Margaret Allen, had Daniel, born 9 May 1655; and John, 18 May 1656.

SAMUEL HUBBARD, Newport, brother of Benjamin Hubbard, had come to Salem, says Backus, in 1633, then a youth, removed to Watertown, but Bond names him not, thence to Wethersfield, then up the river to Springfield.  He was there one of the five founders of the church.  He had the first child on record Ruth, born 10 September 1640; Naomi, who died 5 May 1643; Rachel, 7 March 1643; and Bethia, 29 December 1646.  Next year he was at Fairfield, and the following year fixed at Newport.  He was recorded 3 November 1648 into the baptized communication and there he passed quiet life till grand age.  He and wife Tacey married 4 January 1638, were living 1688.  His only son Samuel, died 20 January 1671, at 21 years.  His daughter Ruth married Robert Burdick; Rachel married Andrew Langworth; and Bethia married 16 November 1664, Joseph Clark, junior,

THOMAS HUBBARD, Middletown, first of Hartford 1647, perhaps brother of George Hubbard of the same, though another conjecture is, that he was son of James Hubbard the first, but almost certainly son of William Hubbard, stands at the head of a long list of freeman 1657.  By wife Mary, whose surname is as uncertain as his own original, had only five children all living at the time of his died 1671: Mary, aged 14; Thomas, 10; Ebenezer, 7; John, 4; and George, 1 and 1/2 years.  The widow married 1 October 1674, Deacon John Hall.

THOMAS HUBBARD, Billerica 1656.  He died November 1662, and administration on his estate 16 December 1662 was given to widow Elizabeth.  In the History of the diabolical witchcraft delusion Essex Institute II. 191, to one Elizabeth Hubbard is given the bad distinction of being brought as witness in more cases than others.

WILLIAM HUBBARD, Ipswich.  He came in the Defence 1635, from London, aged 40, with wife Judith, 25; and Martha, 22; Mary, 20; who were, perhaps, his sisters unless we prefer to think some of the figures wrong; besides John, 15; William Hubbard, 13, Harvard College 1642; Nathaniel, 6; and Richard Hubbard, 4, Harvard College 1653; who may have been his child embarked in July.  Yet I doubt the years assigned to Judith, who was his wife should be 35, unless she were second.  He is called husbandman, had, I presume, favored the Colony some years as the historian, his son mentioned page 122, that he had advanced £50 to its treasurer.  He was freeman 2 May 1638, Representative that year and several following, removed to Boston 1662, and he died 1670.  In his will of 8 June 1670 probated 19 August 1670, he gave most of his property because he had before providing for sons Nathaniel and Richard, to the minister of Ipswich, his eldest son particularly the estate free or copyhold, with houses, buildings, etc. in Tendring Hundred, which is in Essex, bordered on Suffolk.  His daughter Margaret married Thomas Scott of Ipswich who died 1657 at Stamford, and next, Ezekiel Rogers, and she died 1678; and Martha married John Whittingham, and next Simon Eyre, of Boston.  A Mary Hubbard came in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, at a later day in the same year aged 24; and a third Mary Hubbard aged 24, earlier in the same year in the Blessing.

WILLIAM HUBBARD, Lynn, 1644.  He came, it may be, in the Elizabeth and Ann, from London, April 1635, aged 35, with Thomas, 10, likely to be his son.  Or possibly he came in the Elizabeth from London, April 1635, aged 35, with John, 10, who however, seem only to refer to one embarkment of one man and probably his son yet the confusion may have been intentional to deceive an arbitrary government or, as I easily believe, it may have come from carelessness in the subordinate minister of that tyranny.  Dr. Harris would reckon one of the names among the first settlers of Dorchester 1630; but I see little ground for so read the record unless it be that a William is named at Connecticut 1643.

WILLIAM HUBBARD, Ipswich, son of William Hubbard of the same, born in England.  He came with his father, freeman 1653, was ordained 17 November 1658, and was colleague with Thomas Cobbett, who he excelled in mildness of temper.  He married Margaret Rogers, only daughter of Reverend Nathaniel Rogers, had John, born 1648; Nathaniel; Margaret; and perhaps others.  He was in highest esteem, called in absence of Increase Mather to preside at commencement as several years before.  He had been Honorable by the General Court with grant of money for his History; but in 1694 he gave dissatisfaction to his parish by choice, late in his life, of a second wife named Mary Pearce, daughter of Samuel Pearce.  He died 1704.  1 Massachusetts History Collections X. 33, 34.  Margaret married John Pynchon.

WILLIAM HUBBARD, Greenwich 1670, son of George Hubbard of Guilford, had grant of land 1667, may have been earlier in eastern part of Connecticut; gave to son George in 1684, and then referred to another son William; but we know not the mother.  Eighteen of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard of which four were ministers and forty-seven at the other New England Colleges (including thirty-four at Yale alone), of which ten were ministers.

EBENEZER HUBBELL, New London, came from Fairfield about 1690.

RICHARD HUBBELL, New Haven 1647, removed to Fairfield, freeman  1664, was living 1690, there, and also Richard, junior, and Samuel, perhaps his son.  Descendants are numerous.  Sometimes it is with single l, or Hobbells.

JAMES HUCKINS, Durham, New Hampshire, son of Robert Huckins, constable 1683.  He had eldest son Robert, but names of other children are unknown.  He was killed by the Indians August 1689, with seventeen others.  Belknap I. 131.  Pike's Journal.

GEORGE HUDDY, Newbury, took oath of allegiance 1678, then aged 17, of course on enrolment in the military.

DANIEL HUDSON, Boston, one of the wretched survivors of the crowning mercy of O. Cromwell, vouch safely to him 3 September 1651 at the bloody field of Worcester, when Daniel was made prisoner, shipped in November 1651, arrived in May 1652.  He did not, perhaps, live long.

DANIEL HUDSON, Lancaster, son of the first Daniel Hudson.  He married February 1674, Mary Maynard, youngest daughter of John Maynard, and she died 1677.

FRANCIS HUDSON, Boston 1630, fisherman.  He came from Chatham, County Kent, son of William Hudson.  He was one of the first, as Judge Sewall believed, who set foot on this peninsula of Boston, so that, probably he came in the fleet with Winthrop.  He had wife Mary, and by her, Elizabeth, born 13 October 1640; Deborah, baptized 18 June 1643, whose age is not told; Mary, 18, baptized 20 August 3, died soon; Mary, again, 22 August baptized 10 September 1644; Susanna, as the town record calls her, 15 December but the church record of her baptism on 21 of same December 1645, calls her Hannah, about 7 days old; Samuel, 19 July 1650; and Sarah, 27 November 1653.  He was freeman 1673.  He died 3 November 1700, aged 82.  His will of 21 August 1697, probated 14 November 1700, names wife Elizabeth to be executrix and gives all his real and personal estate, dwelling-house, ferry boats, lease of ferry wharf etc. during her widowhood, and mentioned daughter Perkins; and son Arthur Smith; Francis, and Samuel, son of his son Samuel; besides John Wheatly, the grandson of his wife.  Susanna married John Howlett, and next Edmund Perkins. 

HENRY HUDSON, Hempstead, Long Island 1647.  Thompson.

JOHN HUDSON, Lynn 1637, an unworthy servant of John Humphrey.  Winthrop II. 46.

JOHN HUDSON, Duxbury.  He had wife Ann Rogers, daughter of John Rogers, and to her, in his will of 20 November 1683, gave his estate during widowhood, though he had four daughters: Hannah, who married Japhet Turner; Rhoda married ----- Palmer; Elizabeth ---- Vicory; and Abigail married ---- Stetson.

JONATHAN HUDSON, Lynn, probably son of Thomas Hudson.  He had Moses, born 15 July 1658, and probably other children.  He may be the freeman of 1691.

JONATHAN HUDSON, Lyme.  He married 17 June 1686, Sarah, and left descendants.

MOSES HUDSON, Lynn, probably son of Jonathan Hudson of the same, freeman 1691.

NATHANIEL HUDSON, Boston, son of William Hudson.  He married 1 December 1659, Elizabeth Alford, daughter of William Alford.

NICHOLAS HUDSON, Hingham, freeman 9 March 1637, is, beyond doubt, the same as Hodsdin, or Hodgen, who was at Hingham 1635, removed to Boston, that part called Muddy river, sold his estate 1650.

RALPH HUDSON, Boston, a woolen draper.  He came in the Susan and Ellen, from London, 1635, aged 42, with wife Mary 42, and three children: Hannah, 14; John, 12; and Elizabeth 5; (but John was his brother).  He was freeman 25 May 1636, and died before his wife.  His will of 24 September 1638, gave no children but Hannah, so we may well presume that Elizabeth was dead.  It was not probated until 20 November 1651, when was also probated that of his wife dated 26 September 1651 in which she gives to her grandchildren Hudson and Hannah, children of John Leverett by her daughter Hannah, who was dead, and to his daughter Elizabeth, by the second wife Hannah married 1639, John Leverett, and died probably In 1644.

RICHARD HUDSON, Marblehead 1668, may be a soldier under Captain Turner, in 1676, at Northampton.

SAMUEL HUDSON, Boston, son of Francis Hudson.  He married December 1674, Abigail Shore, daughter of Sampson Shore, had Francis, born 15 August 1676; and Samuel, of uncertain date.  Both are named in the will of grandfather.

THOMAS HUDSON, Lynn 1637.  He had Jonathan, and perhaps other children.

WILLIAM HUDSON, Charlestown 1630, came probably in the fleet with Winthrop, was freeman 18 May 1631, and removed early to Boston, of whose church he was member before Charlestown church was organized, and continued at Boston.  He brought perhaps son William and wife Susan, by whom he had Nathaniel, baptized 19, but born 30 January 1634, as says the town record which may be more correct in saying, that Richard, their son died 26 October 1641, probably un-baptized.  He went home before 1656.

WILLIAM HUDSON, Boston, called the younger.  He was born about 1619.  He was freeman 12 October 1640.  He may have been son of the preceding or not.  By wife Ann, had Hannah, baptized 19 March but in town record born 16 April 1641, died next month; Hannah, again, 12 March 1644.  Before her birth he went to England and served as Ensign in the company of John Leverett, under Israel Stoughton, in the Earl of Manchester's army for the Parliament.  The unhappy consequence of his absence, and his wife's exposure to temptation, for which she was whipped is told by Winthrop II. 249.  She had no more children.  Frothingham, 78, has confused the junior and senior, as to the time of removal and served in England.  Later in life, he was a Lieutenant in 1654, and Captain in 1661, in service at Boston.  Married 23 January 1677, Mary Fownell, daughter of John Fownell, and he died in summer of 1681.  His daughter Hannah married Benjamin Richards, and next, in 1666 married Richard Crispe.

 

JOHN HUDSHON, Hartford 1649.  The spelling may be careless in the record and possibly the person is Hodson; but the name is unimportant.

 

ANGEL HUESTED, or ANGEL HUSTED, Greenwich 1672, son of Robert Huested.  He died April 1706.  His will of 5 April 1706 names wife Rebecca, children Jonathan, Joseph, Angel, Moses, John, Samuel, and Elizabeth Baldwin.

JOHN HUET, or JOHN HUIT, Marshfield, may have been son of Thomas Huet of Hingham, as Miss Thomas suggests, but there is no evidence to sustain such opinion.  He married 1668, Martha Winter, daughter of Christopher Winter, who died 22 June 1691, had Solomon, born 1670; Bridget, 1673; Elizabeth 1675; Winter, 1678; Christopher, 1681; Mercy, 1686; and Lydia, 1689.  The wife's will of 1 May 1691, probated 15 September 1691 reciting the gift to her and her children by her father Christopher, in his will, of which she was executrix now gives her sister Ann Mace some personal property and to her niece Ann Thomas, also, but to her son Winter the lands of his grandfather and a portion of £100 equally to be devised to the other children Solomon, Christopher, Bridget, Elizabeth, Mary, and Lydia, residue to her husband and made him, and Solomon, executors.

ARTHUR HUGHES, Salem 1676.

JAMES HUGHES, Gloucester.  By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 28 September 1670; and Jonathan, 25 October 1672, who died 1689, as did a Rachel.  Babson does not tell whether she were maid, widow, or wife.

RICHARD HUGHES, Guilford, about 1640-50.  His widow Mary married 1659, William Stone of Guilford.

SAMUEL HUGHES, Guilford, perhaps son of the preceding, 1665-85.  Sometimes the spelling may be Hewes.

 

JOHN HUGHSON, Boston, an appraiser on the large estate of William Hanbury, February 1650, perhaps was not permanent settler.

WILLIAM HULBERT, sometimes WILLIAM HURLBUT, or WILLIAM HULBURD, Dorchester 1630, probably came in the Mary and John, freeman 3 April 1632, but had required that benefit 19 October 1630, removed 1636 to Windsor, thence, 1655, to Northampton, but was some years before at Hartford.  Here he had Sarah, born 10 July 1647; and Ann, baptized 17 March 1650.  He had, also, John and William, probably born at Windsor, and two others, whose names are not mentioned.  Nor can we tell which of these four were by first wife and which were children by the second wife Ann Allen, daughter of Samuel Allen of Windsor who died 1687.  He died 1694.  His son William went to Enfield.

 

ANDREW HULL, New Haven 1639.  He embarked at London for Boston 1635, aged 29, in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, with Catharine, probably his wife 23.  He had Hannah, and Sarah, baptized 4 October 1640; and I find no more of him but that he died 1640, and his widow married Richard Beach before 1644.

BENJAMIN HULL, Weymouth 1635, was soon after, perhaps, at Bass river, now Beverly, in 1643 at York, certainly at Dover 1659-61, of which less is known than of almost any minister became he seemed in the Episcopal interest.  It may be, that he went home, and was the puritan minister ejected 1662 from Buriau, in Cornwall.  Calamy, II. 150.  He certainly had a son at York, and his daughter Elizabeth married John Heard of Dover.  His baptized name was long, unknown Mather, III. 3, and VII. 65.  Felt, Eccles. History I. 498.

BENJAMIN HULL, Portsmouth 1689, a prominent man was probably son of the preceding.  Mr. Farmer, in a letter to Lincoln, History of Hingham, gave him an alias, Reuben, and his Register mentioned that he married Mary Ferniside (daughter I suppose, of John Ferniside of Duxbury), had Joseph, born 1677; Reuben, 1681; besides several daughters.

CORNELIUS HULL, Fairfield, perhaps son of George Hull, but no certainty is gained, was Representative 1656, 58, 59, 60, 62, 63, 64, and 67.  In 1691 he called himself 65.  His family and time of death are unknown, yet by tradition we hear that his wife was Sarah Jones, daughter of Reverend John Jones, and that his daughter Sarah married Robert Silliman.  No dates are disturbed by these tradition, for none are given.  His will of 16 September 1695, names sons Samuel, Cornelius, and Theophilus, daughters Rebecca, Sarah, wife of Silliman, and Martha, wife of Cornelius Liston.

EDWARD HULL, Braintree 1650, son of Robert Hull, born in England, served 1652 under Captain Underhill against the Dutch, maybe he, who wrote from London 1654 to his brother John Hull here of unavailable efforts to persuade brother Richard Hull to come to New England.  He married 20 January 1653, Elinor Newman, but died before his father leaving son Edward.

GEORGE HULL, Dorchester 1630, probably of the company in the Mary and John, freeman 4 March 1633, Representative at the first General court, 14 May 1634, removed to Windsor, was Representative for that town from 1637 to 46, removed then to Fairfield, and was Representative for that town most of the time to 1656.  He died August 1659.  His children were born before he went to Windsor perhaps in England and their names are not known with certainty, or at least some are not.  After June 1654, he married Sarah Phippen, daughter of David Phippen at Boston.  His will of 25 August 1659, devises to Josias, Cornelius, Elizabeth Mary, Martha, and Naomi, and names cousin i.e. niece, Jane Pinkney.  His widow made her will the same month in which she disposes her house in Boston, her children being, four sons, two daughters Benjamin, Joseph, Gamaliel, George, Rebecca Vickers, and Sarah Yow, and names cousin i.e. nephew Philip Pinkney, and cousin Jane Pinkney yet how these Pinkneys were related to her or her husband is not seen.  His daughter Mary married Humphrey Pinney.

GEORGE HULL, Beverly 1674, Farmer says; and I find Isaac there 1671, who may be the same that was minister at the First Baptist Church in Boston 1675-1688.

JEREMIAH HULL, New Haven, son probably elder of Richard Hull.  He married 6 May 1658, Hannah Baldwin, had Jeremiah, born 2 January 1663; Hannah, 22 October 1664; Mary, 8 August 1666; John, 13 November 1668; Elizabeth, 27 February 1671, died soon; Joseph, 11 August 1672; Sarah, 4 March 1675; and Martha, 27 November 1677.  He was living a proprietor 1685, and died 13 January 1701.

JEREMIAH HULL,  Deerfield, perhaps son of the preceding.  He married 1688, Mehitable Smead, daughter of William Smead, had Elizabeth, born 1688; Jeremiah, 1690, who was burnt to death at 3 years.  He died 1691.  His widow married 1692, Godfrey Nims.

JOHN HULL, Dorchester, blacksmith, freeman 7 August 1632, artillery company 1638, removed probably to Boston.  It is said he died 28 July 1666.

JOHN HULL, Newbury.  He died 1 February 1670.  His widow Margaret Goodridge, who had been daughter of William Goodridge, says Coffin, died 3 February 1683.

JOHN HULL, Boston, son of Robert Hull, born as his own diary tells, about 18 December 1624, at Market Harborough, County Leicester, in the borders of Northampton shire, and freeman 2 May 1649.  He married 11 May 1647, Judith Quincy, daughter of Edmund Quincy, had Elizabeth and Mary, twins born 23, baptized 30 January 1653, both of whom died in few days; John, 3 November 1654, died in few days; Hannah, 14 February 1658; and Samuel, 1 August 1661, who died young.  He was of artillery company 1660, Captain of it 1671 and again 1678, treasurer of the Colony 1676, having in June 1652, been with Robert Sanderson, both goldsmiths, appointed "for the melting, refining, and coining of silver" and faithfully adhered to their oaths, though asserting equally obligation on the part of the public.  Hutchinson I. 178.  He was Representative for Wenham 1668, for Westfield 1671-74, and for Salisbury 1679.  He was one of those members of the First Church disgusted at the equivocal morality in management for bringing Davenport from New Haven, who founded the 3rd or Old South church and for several years in opposition to Governor Bellingham after 1668, and chosen Assistant from 1680 to his death 30 September 1683.  His only child then living Hannah married 28 February 1676, Samuel Sewall, after Chief Justice of the Province who had the large estate extravagated misrepresentation by tradition which would, ridiculously make her portion at marriage to be a balance in the scale against her own weight in shillings of her father's making.  Though he much overrates the amount of her fortune, Hutchinson gives no countenance to that folly.  Yet she could not weigh half or even a quarter of what the estate furnished her in reality.  His widow died 22 June 1695, aged 69.

JOHN HULL, New Haven 1657, son perhaps, of Andrew Hull.

JOHN HULL, Boston, called junior, to distinguish him from the mint master, but who Mather, II. 38, calls "a well-bred merchant".  He married Mary Spencer, daughter of Captain Roger Spencer.  He died about July 1673, the inventory of his estate offered by the widow was only £81.12.  She married probably the next year William Phips, the shipwright, afterwards Sir William, the Royal Governor of Massachusetts under the new charter and in her next widowhood married Peter Sergeant, who was of the Council in the same charter by which Sir William had been named Governor.

JOHN HULL, Stratford, 1661-70.  He had John, born 1662; Samuel, 1663; Mary, 1666; Joseph, 1668; and Benjamin, 1672.  He removed to Derby a year or two after, and had four more children there; Richard, October 1674; Ebenezer, 1678; Jeremiah, 1679; and Andrew, 1685.  Perhaps he was the man who served in Philip's war 1675 and 76, as surgeon of the Connecticut forces.  He died 1714.

JOHN HULL, Derby, son of the preceding.  He died 1753.  He probably married 1 January 1695, Mercy Jacobs, daughter of Bartholomew Jacobs. 

JOSEPH HULL, Hingham, freeman 2 September 1635, Representative 1638 and 39.

JOSEPH HULL, Yarmouth 1642, forbidden to be minister.  See Felt, Eccles. History I. 498.  He had been excommunicated  at Barnstable merely for going to Yarmouth people as their minister without leave of his fellow-members at Barnstable but was readmitted 10 August 1643.  But probably he sat down first at Weymouth, where is seen by the record 12 June 1636, his right for 9 heads, i.e. 54 acres, being larger than any other share.  His daughter Joanna married 28 November 1639, John Bursley of Barnstable, and had Naomi, baptized 22 March 1640; and Ruth, 9 May 1641.  It is necessary to follow the poor man to Maine, where, no long time before his death 19 November 1665, he had been preacher at Isle of Shoals, as his widow Agnes showed in her inventory "the Isle owed him for his minister £20" and though I regret to say the sum was only £52. 5. 5. yet £10 is put down for books.

JOSEPH HULL, Derby, son of John Hull of the same.  He married 1691, Mary Nicholls, daughter of Isaac Nicholls the second, had Samuel, born 1692; Joseph, 1694; Caleb, 1695; Andrew, 1697; Mary, 1699; Sarah, 1701; Abijah, 1703; and Nathan, 1709.  He died 1744.  His wife having died 1733, he married 1735, Hannah Prindle. This is the line of Commodore Isaac, one of the most brave and valuable officers of the Navy of the U.S. more modest than brave, who was the son of Joseph, born 1750; grandson of that Joseph, born 1727; great grandson of that Joseph, born 1694; great great grandson of that Joseph, born 1668; and great great great grandson of John, the first comer.

JOSIAS HULL, Windsor, perhaps son of George Hull, born in England.  He married 20 May 1641, Elizabeth Loomis, daughter of Joseph Loomis, had Josiah, born September 1642; John, 17 December 1644; Elizabeth 18 February 1647; Mary, 2 October 1648; Martha, 10 June 1650; Joseph, 10 August 1652; Sarah, 9 August 1654; Naomi, 17 February 1657; Rebecca, 10 August 1659; George, 28 April baptized 4 May 1662, died soon; and Thomas, 29 May, baptized 30 July 1665.  He was Representative 1659, 60, and 62; removed to Killingworth, was Representative 1667-70, and years after.  He died 16 November 1675.  Field, 106, perhaps from erroneous tradition of descendants derives him from Barnstable County.  Cothren seems to have confused him with a mythical John, who borrows most of his renown from George, and perhaps he is wrong in finding, 1641, Josiah at Hartford.  Naomi married 4 January 1677, Thomas Burnham the second of same.

PHINEAS HULL, York.  He was a sufferer by the attack of Indians who took his wife 22 August 1690, and kept her for their secretary until late in the year following Mather, VII. 76.

REUBEN HULL, Portsmouth, perhaps son of the Reverend Benjamin Hull.  He married 1670, Hannah Ferniside, perhaps daughter of John Ferniside, had Elizabeth, born 9 September 1673; Joseph, 31 March 1676; Dodavah, 31 December 1681; Reuben, 2 August 1684; Sarah, 25 September 1686; and Mary, 1 September 1688.

RICHARD HULL, New Haven 1640, or earlier, perhaps brother of Andrew Hull.  He had John, baptized 24 May 1640; and Hannah, 20 February 1642.  But first lived in the Massachusetts Colony, and was freeman 1 April 1634, though of what church he was member is not known yet resided in Boston short time about 1637.  He died 1 September 1662, named in his will of August 1662 children Jeremiah, who continued there, a proprietor 1685; John, Hannah, and Mary.  Mary married 1 March 1654, John Jackson, and died 26 February 1665; and Hannah married 26 December 1662, Edmund Doorman.

ROBERT HULL, Boston.  He came in the George, from Bristol, sailed 28 September, arrived 7 November 1635, with wife Elizabeth who brought son Richard Storer, and his own, John and Edward.  He was a blacksmith, and freeman 9 March 1637, having united with our church 29 May 1636.  His wife died 7 May 1646.  He married widow Judith Paine of Braintree, who had been daughter of Edmund Quincy, and she died 29 March 1654.  She was mother of his son.  John's wife Sewall calls him grandfather yet falls into strange error as to date of his death of which went the full and exact relationship of his son John must be received "28 July 1666 at 4 in the afternoon," aged 73.  His will, made 20 May 1657, names son John executor, gives him estate at Muddy river and part of that in Boston, some to his son Edmund Quincy, and his son John Quincy at Braintree, a legacy to his son Storer, meaning his first wife's, and an estate to his own son Edward.  But as the younger died, John was the only survived child.

SAMUEL HULL, Fairfield.  He married Deborah Beers, daughter of the elder James Beers.

THOMAS HULL, Boston, cooper.  He married 3 April 1657, Hannah Townsend, daughter of William Townsend, had William, born 23 January 1659, died September 1660; Mary, 22 August 1661, died young; Thomas, 1663; Hannah, 1664; Mary, again, 1666; and Samuel, 1667.  He died 1670, and 10 August 1670 his widow had administration.  She married in a later day, Lieutenant Richard Way.

TRISTRAM HULL, Yarmouth 1643.  He had Mary, born latter part of September 1645; Sarah, 18 October 1647, died soon; Sarah, again, latter part of March 1650; Joseph, June 1652; John, latter part of March 1654; and Hannah, February 1657.  His will of 20 December 1666, names the five children and wife Blanch.

WILLIAM HULL, Rhode Island 1654.

 

OBADIAH HULLING, or OBADIAH HULLINE, Salem, had, says Felt, grant of land 1639; and in the list of freeman appears the surname with no name of baptism 22 May 1639.  Yet I feel doubtful, for in his church membership Felt gives no such, and of the whole 399 before 1651, a single Obadiah is found, but he is united with the name Holme, and this man too had a grant of land 1639.

 

RICHARD HULTON, Salisbury.  By wife Martha, had Dorothy, born 19 April 1673.  He had been earlier of Topsfield.

 

EDWARD HUMBER, Salem, freeman 1665.

HUMPHREY HUMBER, Hampton 1645.

 

DAVID HUME, and two or three others of the same family name, came to Boston May 1652, as prisoners taken at the battle of Worcester 3 September 1651 brought in the John and Sarah, with about two hundred and seventy more, to be sold.  Most of them, no doubt, died before serving their times out, nor can I find evidence of more than one of all the young men having raised a progeny here.  Perhaps some few others escaped the general doom of civil war.

 

JOHN, HUMFREY Lynn, a gentleman of great merit for his services and affection to our country in its first attempts, chose at its second meeting, 1629, Deputy Governor of the company in England.  He came not over, however, before July 1634, then arrived probably in the Planter, yet in confident expected of his arrival had here been chosen the two years before.  He lived mostly in London, but had a house at Sandwich, County Kent, previous to coming hither.  With him, besides his wife Susan Clinton, daughter of the illustrious Thomas Clinton, third Earl of Lincoln, and some children Ann, Dorcas, and Sarah, he brought money, goods, and cattle for the Colony.  Here he had baptized at Salem, whither he removed in few years: Theophilus, having his name from the fourth Earl, 24 January 1637; Thomas, 26 August 1638; Joseph, 5 April 1640; and Lydia, 25 April 1641.  Perhaps he had another daughter who lost her reason, and John, also, older than any.  Hutchinson 1. 13, puts his coming too early by two years early in 1641.  He was of artillery company and in June 1641 was made the first Major-General of the Colony but having lost most of his property was tempted by great offers for new plantation in the West Indies.  He went home 26 October 1641 in the same ship with Reverend John Phillips.  Of his children, Ann, the eldest daughter, was married at Salem, probably to William Palmer of Ardfinnan, County Tipperary In Ireland, and next, to Reverend John Myles of Swanzey, but of no others have we exact account.  Two daughters as related by Winthrop 11. 45, suffered the saddest fate of any in our early annuals.  Perhaps, sooner or later, all, but the one married went to England, at least the father never came again.  He died perhaps as late as 1670.  At least in 1671 administration on his estate was taken by Edmund Batter at Salem, and in 1681, Myles and his wife in her right claimed estate in Massachusetts.

JOSEPH HUMFREY, Lynn, son I presume, of the preceding bound on a voyage to England made his will 3 July 1663, in which he speaks not of any near relatives but disposed of the 300 acres given him by the General Court.  Probably he never came back, but was killed at Lisbon, we may fear without reputation noncommittal for that will was probated 23 October 1672, evident first being produced here on 5 October 1672 "about 3 years since he (the deposition), had helped to inter him," without any elucidated of circumstance as in the Probated Reg. of Wills, etc. VII. 251.

 

HENRY HUMMERSTON, New Haven 1644.  He married 19 August 1651, Joan Walker, had Samuel, born 7 August 1653; Nathaniel, 13 January 1655; Thomas, 19 October 1656; another probably John, and two daughters of which we know one Abigail, was born 17 May 1661.  He died 16 January 1664.  His widow married 15 December 1664 Richard Little.  Three of this name were at New Hampshire as proprietors 1685, which two were certainly his sons as probably also was

JOHN HUMMERSTON, of the same, who married 10 September 1685, Sarah Tuttle, daughter of John Tuttle, had John, born 24 October 1686; Lydia, 1 April 1689; Sarah and Mary, twins 8 April 1693; and James, 7 May 1696.  The father died the same year (1696). 

SAMUEL HUMMERSTON, New Haven, eldest son of Henry Hummerston.  He married 21 January 1678, Hannah Johnson, daughter of John Johnson of the same, had Samuel, born 1678; Hannah, 2 July 1680; Mary, 17 January 1683; Matthew, 22 November 1685; Nathaniel, 21 September 1688; and Silence, posthumous 7 February 1691.  The father died 12 days before (26 January 1691). 

THOMAS HUMMERSTON, New Haven.  He had Ebenezer, born 14 March following; Elizabeth; and Thomas, 3 May 1699; besides Joseph, 14 November 1705.  But it may be that this last was by second wife the widow Esther Howe, of what time of marriage we are ignorant as of the day or year of daughter of the first.  He died January 1716.  The family is diffused; a part at West Springfield spells its name Hummiston and Humeston; possibly all may be derived from Cambridge, where Harris, from the record gives Edward Hammerston buried 24 August 1646.  Yet this is the sole mentioned of the name on the record.

 

EDWARD HUMPHREY, EDWARD UMPHRYS, or EDWARD HUMPHRIES, Marblehead, 1673.

HOPESTILL HUMPHREY, HOPESTILL UMPHRYS, or HOPESTILL HUMPHRIES, Dorchester, son of James Humphrey.  He married 21 November 1667, Elizabeth Baker, who died 25 October 1714, had Jonas, born 13 March 1696, perhaps others before serving in Davenport's company at the great Narraganset fight, 19 December 1675.  He had second wife Hannah Blake, daughter of John Blake.  He married 5 January 1719, she died 16 May 1722, and he died 22 March 1731.

ISAAC HUMPHREY, ISAAC UMPHRYS, or ISAAC HUMPHRIES, Dorchester, wife of James the first of the same.  He married Patience Atherton, daughter of Humphrey Atherton.

JAMES HUMPHREY, JAMES UMPHRYS, or JAMES HUMPRIES, Dorchester, son of Jonas Humphrey, probably eldest, born in England about 1608, freeman 1645.  He came with his father probably in 1634, a tanner, in some town office 1650, and often afterwards best known as ruling Elder 1651 to sometime after death of his wife Mary, 7 May 1677.  He had Hopestill, baptized 10 June 1649; Isaac; and Mary, who married Obadiah Hawes.  He died 12 May 1686.  His will was of 16 December 1685.

JEREMIAH HUMPHREY, JEREMIAH UMPHRYS, or JEREMIAH HUMPHRIES, Saco 1653.

JOHN HUMPHREY, JOHN UMPHRYS, or JOHN HUMPHRIES, Simsbury, son of Michael Humphrey.  He died 1697, leaving John, Thomas, Nathaniel, Samuel, Joseph, Mary, and Abigail, who married Benjamin Graham, and died 27 June 1697.  Descendants are very numerous sometimes writing their name Humphries.

JONAS HUMPHREY, JONAS UMPHRYS, or JONAS HUMPHRIES, Dorchester 1634, tanner, whose pits were employed by six generations of most worthy descendants, was from Wendover, County Bucks, where he was, it is said, the constable.  He came with children James, Jonas, and probably Elizabeth and Susanna, perhaps with wife Frances, whose daughter Sarah was buried here September 1638.  For second wife he had Jane Weeks, daughter of George Weeks, who died 2 August 1668.  He died 19 March 1662.  His will of 12 March 1662 probated 17 April 1662 in Vol. I. 381, names only wife, son Jonas, grandchild Elizabeth Foy, and daughter Susanna, wife of Nicholas White.

JONAS HUMPHREY, JONAS UMPHRYS, or JONAS HUMPHRIES, Weymouth, son of the preceding, born in England about 1620, freeman 1653.  By wife Martha, had Jonas, born 24 January or February 1656; John, 31 August 1658; Sarah, 16 May 1661; and James, 16 September 1665; besides several before record of births begin in that town, as eldest son Samuel, Nathaniel, and perhaps more.  In 1688 he calls himself 68 years old.  His will of 6 August 1692, in Vol. XIV. 24, names only these three sons but adds grandchildren Jonas, James, and Mary, who probably were by his wife Mary child of that son.

JONAS HUMPHREY, JONAS UMPHRYS, or JONAS HUMPHRIES, who had served in Johnson's Company in the hard campaign, December 1675.  He died 30 October 1689.  So we see the confusion of Genealogical Registrar V. 401, in taking grandson for son of the emigrants.

MICHAEL HUMPHREY, MICHAEL UMPHRYS, or MICHAEL HUMPHRIES, Windsor, perhaps had been at Dorchester, was freeman of Connecticut 1657.  He married 14 October 1647, Priscilla Grant, daughter of Matthew Grant, had John, born 7 June 1650; Mary, 24 October 1653; Samuel, 15 May 1656, Sarah, 6 March 1659, who married 11 June 1680, Richard Burnham; Martha, 5 October 1663; Abigail, 23 March 1666; and Hannah, 21 October 1669; all living1697 before he died at Simsbury, whither he removed 1669.

NATHANIEL HUMPHREY, NATHANIEL UMPHRYS, or NATHANIEL HUMPHRIES, Hartford.  He married Agnes Spencer, daughter of Samuel Spencer.  His widow married John Hubbard.

NATHANIEL HUMPHREY, NATHANIEL UMPHRYS, or NATHANIEL HUMPHRIES, Ipswich, freeman 1680.

NATHANIEL HUMPHREY, NATHANIEL UMPHRYS, or NATHANIEL HUMPHRIES, Weymouth, son of the second Jonas Humphrey.  By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 5 August 1685; Ruth, 4 August 1687; Sarah, 28 January 1690; Hannah, 6 July 1692; Susanna, 6 April 1695; Abigail, 12 January 1698; and perhaps others.

SAMUEL HUMPHREY, SAMUEL UMPHRYS, or SAMUEL HUMPHRIES, Weymouth, eldest brother of the preceding.   By wife Mary had Sarah, born 27 October 1679; Samuel, 23 December 1681; John, 19 February 1684; Josiah, 9 December 1686; James, 21 April 1689; Mary, 1 February 1692, died soon; Mary, again, 30 January 1693; and Abigail, 13 January 1698.

SAMUEL HUMPHREY, SAMUEL UMPHRYS, or SAMUEL HUMPHRIES, Simsbury, son of Michael Humphrey, was a Lieutenant.  He had daughter Mary, born 15 November 1681, and probably others.

THOMAS HUMPHREY, THOMAS UMPHRYS, or THOMAS HUMPHRIES, Dover 1660.  He married December 1665, at Hingham, a daughter of George Lane.  He was probably living at Pemaquid 1674 when he swore fidelity to Massachusetts, as 8 September 1665 he took as good an oath to the royal commissioners.

WILLIAM HUMPHREY, WILLIAM UMPHRYS, or WILLIAM HUMPHRIES, Boston.  He had gone home, and died before February 1654.  In 1834, sixteen persons of this name, with slight variations of spelling had been graduates at the New England Colleges of which two at Harvard.

 

THOMAS HUNGERFORD, Hartford 1639, but not an original proprietor.  He removed to New London 1650, was constable 1652, and he died 1663, leaving widow and children Thomas, aged 15; Sarah, 9; and Hannah, 4.  His widow Hannah Willey, daughter of Isaac Willey, was his second wife married of course, but few years before his death and mother of only the last child.  She married Peter Blachford, and, next, Samuel Spencer of Haddam, whither the family had removed.

THOMAS HUNGERFORD, Haddam 1692, son of the preceding.  He had Thomas, I believe, perhaps John, and probably others.

 

JOHN HUNKING, sometimes JOHN HUNKINS, Portsmouth 1650.  He died 1681.  By wife Agnes, had John, born 2 March 1651, died at 15 years in England; Hercules, 11 July 1656; John, again, 6 April 1660; Peter, 20 March 1663; Agnes, 2 June 1665; William, 6 January 1668; and Mark, 17 May 1670.

MARK HUNKING, sometimes MARK HUNKINS, Portsmouth, perhaps brother of the preceding.  He had wife Ann.  He died before November 1667.  His will of 1 July 1667 refers to eldest son Mark, son Archelaus, and daughter Mary.

MARK HUNKING, sometimes MARK HUNKINS, Portsmouth, master mariner, in 1679, of a vessel from Barbados for Boston.  He was recorder of the Provincial Judge of the Supreme Court, and in 1710 as counselor says Farmer, who makes him son of John Hunking; though it may seem equally probable that he was son of the preceding.  He had daughter Sarah, who married John Wentworth, and lived past middle age, and other children but these died young.

 

WILLIAM HUNKINGS, Providence 1641, united with Benedict Arnold, William Harris, and others in compliance to their neighbors of Massachusetts against Gorton and others, which is the first matter of 3 Massachusetts History Collections I.  But I have some doubt, that the name should be Hawkins.

 

EDWARD HUNLOCK or EDWARD HUNLOKE, Boston, from Derbyshire.  By wife Margaret, had Margaret, born 7 May 1682; Martha, 7 February 1684; and Mary, 15 February 1686.  He removed to Burlington in the Province of West Jersey, whence he wrote 12 July 1695 to his kinsman John at Boston.  He was in December 1699, appointed by Governor Hamilton one of the three Provincial Judges; and in the first year of her reign, Queen Anne, by commission 16 November 1702, to her cousin Lord Cornbury, Governor of New Jersey, among his thirteen counselors named him the first.

JOHN HUNLOCK or JOHN HUNLOKE, Boston, son of Christopher Hunlock, of Wingerworth, near Chesterfield, County Derby (of which we find no trace on our side of the ocean, and therefore presume he never came, especially as he was created a baronet in 1642).  He married Joanna Sendall, only child of Samuel Sendall, had John, born 7 October 1667, died young; Joanna, 27 February 1670; John, again, 19 March 1672; Sarah, 10 September 1673; Samuel, 26 July 1678; Jonathan, 12 December 1682; Elizabeth, 12 March 1685; and Joseph, 18 October 1689.  His wife died 21 October 1706.  He probably removed to New Jersey as no further notice of him is found.  He had brother Christopher Hunlock, who came over to some part of our country, named his plantation Wingerworth, as may be learned from a most curious volume in MS of Collections of the Gentry of Derbyshire by Bassano, in the British Museum.  Their grandfather was Nicholas Hunlock of Wingerworth, where the family an old Catholic stock (of which however, the latest possessor conformed to the church of England), resided until our day, in the rank of baronets, now extinct.  He was born 1547, and died 1605.

 

GEORGE HUNN, Boston 1635, tanner, freeman 17 May 1637.  By wife Ann, had Nathaniel.  He died June 1640, having made his will 25 May 1640.  He had estate at Braintree, also at Long Island in the harbor.  His widow married 16 December 1651, William Philpot.

NATHANIEL HUNN, Boston, shoemaker, son of the preceding.  By wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 8 July 1652; John, 16 January 1656, who died next year; John, again, 12 February 1659; and George, 23 May 1660.  He was of artillery company 1662.  After 1669 he is not heard of in Boston, but he died at Salem in June 1679.

NATHANIEL HUNN was of Wethersfield 1673 to 1693.

 

JOHN HUNNIWELL, JOHN HUNNUEL, JOHN HONYWELL, or JOHN HUNNEWELL, Wethersfield.  He married Elizabeth Harris, daughter of Daniel Harris of Middletown.  He was surveyor of the roads 1682.

RICHARD HUNNIWELL, RICHARD HUNNUEL, RICHARD HONYWELL, or RICHARD HUNNEWELL, Scarborough, son of Roger Hunniwell, Ensign in 1680, Lieutenant 1689, perhaps living some years at Boston in the worst years of the East Indies war.  He married Sarah Adams, daughter of Nathaniel Adams.  He went again to improve his estate.  He was Captain, and killed by the Indians 6 October 1703.  Genealogical Registrar III. 25, and Penhallow.

ROGER HUNNIWELL, ROGER HUNNUEL, ROGER HONYWELL, or ROGER HUNNEWELL, Saco.  He died 1654.  Folsom.

 

BARTHOLOMEW HUNT, Dover 1640, I suppose to be the same who was of Newport 1655, freeman of that Colony.  There by wife Ann, had Bartholomew, born 7 December 1654; Adam, September 1656; Naomi, 15 September 1658; and Ezekiel, 8 March 1663, or 64; besides others.  His will of 11 February 1687, probated 22 June 1687 provides for wife Ann, sons Bartholomew, Ezekiel, and John, and four daughters not named.  The witnesses were John Vaughan and John Williams.  His wife was made with John Albroe, executors.

EBENEZER HUNT, Northampton, son of Jonathan Hunt.  He married 27 May 1698, Hannah Clark, daughter perhaps of second William Clark of the same, had Hannah, born 4 October 1699; Stephen, 24 July 1701; Ebenezer, 30 August 1703; William, 12 October 1705; Abigail, 16 July 1708; Daniel, 17 August 1711; Simeon, 3 November 1713; and Thomas and Esther, twins 24 May 1716.

EDMUND HUNT, Duxbury 1637, had, says Winsor, copying Farmer, been of Cambridge 1634, was surveyor of roads 1645; and a proprietor of Bridgewater, but probably did not move thither.

EDWARD HUNT, Duxbury.  He died about 1656, his inventory being of 20 May 1656.  I suspect this person to be the same as preceding for the baptized names in very many records are confusing.

EDWARD HUNT, Duxbury 1665, Winsor supposes to be son of the preceding.

EDWARD HUNT, Amesbury, swore fidelity 20 December 1677.

ENOCH HUNT, Weymouth 1640, blacksmith came from Lee, a parish in Bucks, near Wendover, had, perhaps, been at Newport 1639.  At Weymouth had Sarah, born 4 July 1640.  After some years he went home, leaving here Ephraim, who 18 November 1652, had administration of estate of his father.  He probably died in England.

ENOCH HUNT, Weymouth, son of the preceding or perhaps more probably of Ephraim Hunt, whose son of this name lived and died at Milton.  His estate 1 August 1707 administration was given to his brother Joseph.

ENOCH HUNT, Rehoboth, perhaps son of Peter Hunt of the same.  He married 29 October 1678, Mary Paine, had Mary, born 7 September 1679; Peter, 22 September 1681, died next month; Elizabeth, 2 October 1682, died young; and Enos, 28 January 1685.

EPHRAIM HUNT, Rehoboth 1644, eldest son of the first Enoch Hunt, born in England.  At Wendover, I think he had children perhaps by wife Sarah Barker, at Rehoboth.  Removed to Weymouth, there by wife Ebbet or Ebbot had probably William, born 1655; certainly Enoch, 29 March 1657 or 1658; and probably others not in the records before Joseph, 18 May 1670.  He was freeman 1671; and was a Captain.  His will of 14 January 1681, probated 7 April 1687, calls himself senior, gives the unusual name of his wife and mentions eldest sons Thomas, Ephraim, John, William, Enoch, and Joseph.

EPHRAIM HUNT, Weymouth, perhaps son of the preceding.  By wife Joanna Alcock, daughter of John Alcock had John, born 11 December 1679; Samuel Hunt, 8 February 1682, Harvard College 1700, minister of Dartmouth, died 1730; John, again, 23 November 1687; Peter, 8 March 1690; William, 14 March 1692; Ebenezer, 6 April 1694; and Thomas, 1 May 1696.  He was Representative 1689, 90, and 91.  He was a Colonel, by this honor led on to partake in the preposterous expedition of Phips to the St. Lawrence, in command of a company, soon after return was made in 1703 a counselor till death June 1713.

ISAAC HUNT, Concord, probably son of William Hunt of the same.  He married 14 May 1667, Mary Stone, daughter of the first Daniel Stone.

JOHN HUNT, Boston 1674, butcher.  He married Martha Neighbors, daughter of James Neighbors, had John, born 24 March 1676; Martha, 5 June 1678; and another daughter.

JOHN HUNT, Boston, mariner.  He was taken by the French, and in the prison at Rochefort.  He made his will 22 January 1690, probated by a returning fellow-prisoner 13 February 1691, in which he gives all to his Mehitable, or, if she were dead, to his brother Arthur Hunt, and two sisters.

JOHN HUNT, Weymouth, brother of the second Ephraim Hunt.  He married 19 October 1686, Ruth Quincy, daughter of  Edmund Quincy the second, had John, born 23 November 1687; Daniel, 17 November 1689; Josiah, 15 October 1693; Samuel, 30 October 1695; Benjamin, 20 June 1698; and perhaps more.  He was a Captain, and died 18 March 1724, says his cousin Judge Sewall, who calls him "an honest man and solid Christian."

JONATHAN HUNT, Northampton, perhaps son of John Hunt, born in England or perhaps at Salem, where tradition would fix his father as a settler three years before the son was born, but the evidence is deficient, that his father was ever in our country.  He married 3 September 1662, Clemence Hosmer, daughter of Thomas Hosmer of Hartford, had Thomas, born 23 June 1663; Jonathan, 1664, died soon; Jonathan, again, perhaps 20 June 1666; John, 22 December 1667, died unmarried 1713; Hannah, 7 January 1669; Clemence, 8 January 1672; Ebenezer, 3 May 1674, died soon; Ebenezer, again, 6 or 27 February 1676; Mary, 24 March 1680; Sarah, 20 July 1682; and Samuel, 15 September 1684.  He was freeman 1680, Deacon, and was a grandson of Governor Webster, as in his will, of 25 June 1659, mentioned; and Representative 1691.  He died 30 September 1691 aged, as is said, only 54.  His widow married 1694, the second John Smith of Milford, as second wife and outlived him.  Sons Thomas and Ebenezer removed to Lebanon.

JONATHAN HUNT, Northampton, son of the preceding.  He married Martha Williams, daughter of Deacon Samuel Williams of Roxbury.  He died 1 July 1738, and his widow died 21 March 1751.  Their children were Theodore, born 22 November 1694; Jonathan, 24 April 1697; Martha, 18 April 1699; Elizabeth, 2 March 1701; Mary, 14 November 1705; Joseph, 12 July 1708; and John, 31 August 1712.

JOSEPH HUNT, Weymouth, probably son of first Ephraim Hunt.  By wife Margaret, had Margaret, born 29 April 1694.

NEHEMIAH HUNT, Concord, son of William Hunt, freeman 1690.

PETER HUNT, Rehoboth 1644.  He was father I suppose, of the children who died Mary, 23 August 1676, Peter, 25 August 1676, and Tabitha, 14 October 1676.  He had probably others besides Elizabeth, wife of James Willet.  He was Representative 13 years from 1654.  Baylies, II. 198.

PETER HUNT, Rehoboth, called junior, probably son of the preceding, was Lieutenant.  His son Daniel was buried 15 September 1673.  Perhaps as second wife he married 24 December 1673, Rebecca Paine.  He lived not long if the Paine family Genealogy be right, which makes Samuel Peck marrying Rebecca Paine, daughter of the second Stephen.

RALPH HUNT, Newtown, Long Island 1656, administered freeman of Connecticut 1664.  He died 1677.  His sons Ralph, Edward, John, and Samuel, were valuable inhabitants and he had two daughters Ann and Mary.  Daughter Ann married Theophilus Phillips.  Branches of this family are at Jamaica, Long Island, and Newtown, Long Island, and one went to New Jersey.  Riker, 83.

RICHARD HUNT, Boston.  By wife Mary, had Richard, born 4 August 1676, died young; and Richard, again, 3 October 1680.  He died 26 September 1682, aged about 48 years says the gravestone, which tells that he was from Portsmouth, in County Hants, and to his wife Mary was given administration 5 February 1683.

ROBERT HUNT, Charlestown 1638, an original proprietor of Sudbury, as was, also, a widow husband perhaps his mother or a brother's wife.

SAMUEL HUNT, Concord, perhaps son of William Hunt, freeman 1634.

SAMUEL HUNT, Duxbury 1663-90, says Winsor, and I wish he had said more.

SAMUEL HUNT, Concord, perhaps son of Samuel Hunt of the same, freeman 1690.

THOMAS HUNT, Boston.  By wife Elizabeth, had Jabez, born 17 June 1654; and John, 11 April 1656, died in August 1656.  The father died in few months, for his inventory I find dated 13 August 1657, by his wife Elizabeth who married 4 November 1657 Matthew Barnes.

THOMAS HUNT, West Chester, in jurisdiction of New York but claimed by Connecticut at whose General court he was made freeman 1663, and was Representative October 1664.

THOMAS HUNT, Duxbury.  He was killed 26 March 1676, in the company of Captain Pierce at Rehoboth, but Winsor does not specify.  The battle was one of the hardest of Philip's war.  See Newman's dispatch in Deane, 123.

THOMAS HUNT, Boston.  By wife Joanna, had Thomas, born 30 October 1677; and I suppose the same by wife Mary, had Thomas, 21 August 1681; Priscilla, 11 April 1688; Mary, 11 October 1690; Sarah, 9 December 1692; Joanna, 29 March 1695; Martha, 26 January 1697; Jabez, 5 April 1698; and Elizabeth, 2 April 1700.

THOMAS HUNT, Northampton, freeman 1684.

THOMAS HUNT, Boston, eldest son of Enoch Hunt, blacksmith.  By wife Judith, had Thomas, born 11 November 1674; Ephraim, 17 April 1677, died soon; Ann, 11 May 1679; Ephraim, again, 17 February 1681; Elizabeth 21 December 1686, died soon; and Elizabeth again, 4 January 1688.

WILLIAM, HUNT Concord, freeman 2 June 1641.  He had Samuel, before mentioned Nehemiah, Isaac, William, who died before his father, and several daughters of which perhaps the youngest child was Hannah, born 12 February 1641.  His wife Elizabeth died 27 December 1661.  He removed to Marlborough.  He married 1664 Mercy Hurd, widow of Edmund Rice, who had been widow of Thomas Brigham, whose maiden name was Hurd.  He died October 1667.  The will of 21 October 1667 names daughter Elizabeth Barnes, cousin Potter, and William, son of his son Samuel.  This grandson was perhaps a soldier in the company of Captain Turner, at Northampton 1676.

WILLIAM HUNT, Boston.  By wife Sarah, had Thomas, born 23 March 1682; and Ann, 23 February 1686.

WILLIAM HUNT, Weymouth.  By wife Mary, had Mary, born 8 February 1688; and William, 17 May 1693. 

ZACCHEUS HUNT, Hull, freeman 1680.  Nineteen of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard and twenty-one at the rest of the New England Colleges.  Calamy, II. 747, says, a minister of this name who had been settler in Wroxall, County Warwick, came after ejection to New England but does not give the time; and as no such person is ever told of on our side of the water, it may be a mistake, or he must have gone to some south Colony.

 

JOHN HUNTER, New Haven 1644.  He died 1648, or early next year, probably without family.  He gave his little property to Sarah, wife of William Meaker, Mary, widow of William Preston, and to Peter Mallory.  His inventory was only £19.

ROBERT HUNTER, Ipswich, freeman 7 October 1640.  He had wife Mary, but no children as from his will, 1647, is inferred by Coffin.

ROBERT HUNTER, Ipswich.  He had there several children of whom Thomas was eldest.  He died early in 1687.

THOMAS HUNTER, Marblehead 1653, perhaps son of the preceding.      

THOMAS HUNTER, Springfield 1678.

WILLIAM HUNTER, Boston.  He married 30 January 1657, Cicely, who probably died soon.  By wife Mary Carter, only child of Richard Carter, had Mary, born 5 September 1659, died young; Hannah, 22 November 1661; Sarah, 15 May 1663; and Mary, again, 28 April 1665.  He died in short time after, and 9 September 1667, administration was given to his wife who some years later married Joseph Cowell.  Perhaps this man was passenger in the Blessing, embarked at London, July 1635, aged 11, with Christian, 20; Elizabeth, 18; and Thomas, 14, probably all under the care of some friend of a different name.

WILLIAM HUNTER, Springfield.  By wife Priscilla, had Sarah, born 16 December 1662; Priscilla, 2 March 1665; Mary, 15 August 1667; James, 30 November 1669; John, 23 March 1672; Hannah, 6 December 1674; and Abilene, posthumous 1 January 1677.  He was killed by the Indians 4 July 1676.  Priscilla married 1 November 1683, Samuel Kent; Sarah married 1679, Benjamin Downing; but perhaps an older daughter Catharine married 1673, Walter Holliday.  His widow married at Springfield, 7 February 1678, David Frow.

WILLIAM HUNTER, Barnstable.  He married 17 February 1671, Rebecca Bearce, daughter of Austin Bearce, Alice, and Rebecca.  Nine of this name had been graduates at the New England Colleges in 1835; but none at Harvard.

 

JOHN HUNTING, Dedham, freeman 13 March 1639, one of the founders of the church the year before and first ruling Elder.  By wife Esther, had John, born probably in England; Samuel, born 22 July 1640; Nathaniel, 15 December 1643, died in few days; Margaret, born in England married 24 March 1646, Robert Ware; other daughters Mary Buckner, who had been, perhaps, daughter of William Jay; Esther married 26 December 1649, Nathaniel Fisher; and one who married John Peck of Rehoboth.  Much of this detail is obtained from will of the wife Esther, 4 January 1676, made with concessions and confirmation of her husband and probated 12 February 1685, in which John is called oldest son, the children of her deceased daughter Ware, and others are mentioned as Samuel, her son of Charlestown, and his wife Hannah; Esther, daughter of son-in-law John Peck of Rehoboth; and a legacy of some amount from her brother Francis Seaborn in England is spoken of as then due.

JOHN HUNTING, Dedham, eldest son of the preceding.  He married 18 April 1671, Elizabeth Payne, daughter of Thomas Payne of Dedham, had John, born 30 May 1672, died soon; Nathaniel Hunting, 15 November 1675, Harvard College 1693, ordained minister of Easthampton, Long Island, September 1699; Esther, 19 November 1677; Rebecca, 13 January 1680; Samuel, 14 March 1682; Elizabeth, 2 February 1683; Ebenezer, 1 January 1685; Stephen, 14 May 1688; and Jonathan, 27 January 1696.  He was freeman 1690.

SAMUEL HUNTING, Charlestown, younger brother of the preceding, had first been of Chelmsford.  He married 24 December 1662, Hannah Hackburne, daughter of Samuel Hackburne of Roxbury, had Samuel, born 3 March 1665; Samuel, again, 15 July 1666; and Catharine, 2 May 1670, baptized 28 July 1672, died next day; Catharine, again, born 31 July following died soon; Ann, 9 November 1673, died young; Ebenezer, 27 August 1676; John, 1678, died soon; Mercy, 13 March 1681; and Hannah, 3 December 1682; besides another John, who died soon.  He served with great reputation as Captain of the "praying Indians" who took up arms in our cause against their countrymen in Philip's war 1675 and 76; and was honorary as tythingman 1679, and one of the selectmen 1690.  Three of this name had been, in 1826, graduates at Harvard and six at Yale.

 

CHRISTOPHER HUNTINGTON, Norwich, son of that Simon Huntington, who died of smallpox on his passage from England to Boston 1633, brought with his brothers says the contemporary church record of Roxbury, by their mother Margaret, who lived at Roxbury until 1635 or 36, when having married Thomas Stoughton of Dorchester, the family removed to Windsor.  Before coming of age he was at Saybrook, there lived many years, and was freeman 1658.  He married at Windsor, 7 October 1652, Ruth Rockwell, daughter of William Rockwell, had Christopher, born January 1653, died soon; Ruth, April 1658; Christopher, again, 1 November 1660, the first male of the new town of Norwich; Thomas, 18 March 1664; John, 15 March 1666; Susanna, August 1668; Lydia, August 1672; and Ann, 25 October 1675.  He died probably 1691, though it is not mentioned in records.  Ruth married Samuel Pratt of Saybrook, and died 1683; and Susanna married 10 December 1685, Samuel Griswold.  Descendents of this man and his brother Simon have been of the most reputable characters in civic and ecclesiastic and military service especially in the war of Independence.  Tradition for a wonder, made the completion of the ancestors many years later than the truth; but to show its capacity for error, it ridiculously carried him to Connecticut river where not more than three ships from England in the century and a half before our Revolution came; and at the time of his emigration near the close of the reign of Charles I. as it tells, he had brother Samuel, "a Captain of the King's life guard, much in his favor."  Of this absurdity a hardihood of conjecture may suggest, that it means Captain of the guard of the royal prisoner during his sad confinement at Carisbrook castle.  See Genealogical Registrar I. 343, and the sweet morsel repeated in V. 163.  Had the story named the place of residence in England we should be more grateful, and almost forgive the common looseness of the modern family legend with its careless chronology.

CHRISTOPHER HUNTINGTON, Norwich, son of the preceding.  He married Sarah Adgate, daughter of Deacon Thomas Adgate, and for second wife Judith Brewster, daughter of Jonathan Brewster.  He was Deacon.  He had Ruth, born 20 November 1682; Christopher, 12 September 1686 Isaac, 5 February 1688; Jabez, 26 January 1694; Matthew, 10 April 1695; Hezekiah, 16 December 1696; Sarah, 5 January 1699; Jeremiah, 15 December 1702, died young; Judith, 10 September 1707; John, 14 November 1709; Elizabeth, 6 May 1712; and Jeremiah, again, 20 December 1715.  The first wife died February 1705, and the second he married October 1706.

JOHN HUNTINGTON, Salisbury, son of William Huntington.  He married 25 December 1665, Elizabeth Hunt, had Hannah, born 16 August 1666; and Mary, 15 November 1667.

JOSEPH HUNTINGTON, Norwich, perhaps son of Simon Huntington.  He married Rebecca Adgate, daughter of Deacon Thomas Adgate.  He removed to Windham.

SAMUEL HUNTINGTON, Branford, son of Thomas Huntington, removed with his father to Newark, New Jersey 1667 or 1668.

SAMUEL HUNTINGTON, Lebanon, son of Simon Huntington of Norwich, was Lieutenant.  He died 19 May 1717, says the gravestone, in his 52rd year, leaving wife Mary, who died 5 October 1743, in her 77th year as the same monument tells.

SIMON HUNTINGTON, Norwich, brother of the first Christopher Huntington, probably born in England, was freeman 1663.  He married October 1653, Sarah Clark, daughter of John Clark.  Perhaps at Saybrook he had Sarah, born August 1654; Mary, August 1657; Simon, 6 February 1659; Joseph, September 1661; Elizabeth, February 1664, died soon; Samuel, March 1666; Elizabeth again, October 1669; Nathaniel, July 1672; Daniel, 13 March 1676; James, 18 May 1680.  He died 28 June 1706, aged 77.  His widow died 1721, aged 88.

THOMAS HUNTINGTON, Windsor, brother of Christopher Huntington and Simon Huntington, and probably eldest, though by tradition the name given is Samuel Huntington, was freeman of Connecticut 1657, and lived at Branford.  He married Hannah Crane, daughter of Jasper Crane, and had Samuel.  He probably accompanied many of his neighbors who went with Pierson to found the town and church of Newark.

WILLIAM HUNTINGTON, Salisbury 1640, probably was of Hampton 1643, but rated in 1650 at Salisbury.  He had wife Joan, and children John, born August 1643; and Mary, 8 July 1648, who married 14 August 1667, Joshua Goldsmith.

WILLIAM HUNTINGTON, was of Amesbury in 1677, to swear fidelity.  Thirty-eight of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Yale; four at Harvard, and eight at other New England Colleges.

 

JOHN HUNTLEY, Boston 1652.  By wife Jane, had Moses, born 1 July 1654; and Aaron, 15 April of the same year if the record be true.  He was of Roxbury 1659, and removed perhaps in one or two years to Lyme.  He was there when that town was incorporated by separating from Saybrook in 1667, having other children Elizabeth and Mary.  He married second wife 1669, Margaret Barnes, had Sarah, and Alice by her.  He died 1676.  Aaron had wife Mary; Moses married 18 January 1680, Abigail Comstock.  Descendants of both are numerous.

 

WILLIAM HUNTON, Hampton 1644, perhaps had Philip, who is seen in New Hampshire 1689.  It may be, descendents double the oath.

 

GEORGE HUNTRESS, Portsmouth 1688, was of the grand jury that year and in the next, with many others, prayed for jurisdiction of Massachusetts to be extended to them.

 

ADAM HURD, Stratford, brother of John Hurd the first, living there 1650 to 69.  He had wife Hannah and son John.

BENJAMIN HURD, Boston, son of John Hurd of the same.  He had wife Elizabeth, but both died 1679, leaving one child Elizabeth, born 28 February 1677.

BENJAMIN HURD, Stratford, son of John Hurd the second of the same.  He married Sarah Kimberly, daughter of Abraham Kimberly.

JACOB HURD, Charlestown 1670, brother of the first Benjamin Hurd.  He married 21 December 1675, Ann Willson.  He was freeman 1680, and died 7 September 1694, in 42nd year.  He had Jacob, born 21 September 1676, who died 23 September 1749; Ann, baptized 10 April 1681, died soon; Ann, again, 10 December 1682; John, born 13, baptized 17 May 1685; Nathaniel, 15 February 1691; and Elizabeth, 23 April 1699.  Nathaniel, who was the earliest engraver on copper in our country, and engraved the seal of Harvard College, was a great grandson.  The name was often in Boston written Hord.

JOHN HURD, Windsor, among first settlers but not, like most of them, from Dorchester, removed with the early settlers to Stratford, Representative 1649, 56 and 57, still in 1671 a prominent man.  He was probably father of one of the two Johns of Stratford in the next generation mentioned below. 

JOHN HURD, Boston 1639.  By wife Mary, had John, born 5, baptized 18 August 1639; Hannah, baptized 20 September 1640; John, again, 17 July 1643; Joseph, born 10, baptized 15 September 1644; Benjamin, 28 November 1652; Jacob; Samuel, 14 March 1655; and Mehitable, 21 December 1667.  He was a tailor, and freeman 13 May 1640.  He died 23 September 1690.

JOHN HURD, a freeman of Massachusetts 1652.  He was, perhaps, a weaver of Lynn, with wife Elizabeth in 1657.

JOHN HURD, Stratford, the freeman 1669, probably son of the first John Hurd.  He married 10 December 1662, Sarah Thompson, daughter of John Thompson of Stratford, had, as we learn from the will of her brother John (who died 1681), became senior by death of his father, and he had John, born 16 December 1664; Sarah, 17 February 1666; Hannah, 27 September 1667; Isaac, 2 June 1669; Jacob, 16 November 1671, probably died young, as he is not named in the will of his father; Mary, 15 August 1673; Esther, August 1676; and Abigail, February 1679.  He died 4 February 1682, and Cothren makes John junior, of Stratford dying the same day, perhaps because the two cousins were married on the same.  His widow who married the first Thomas Barnum, and survived him, died 24 January 1718, aged 76.  His daughter Mary married Richard Barnum.

JOHN HURD, Stratford, son of Adam Hurd, called junior to distinguish him from the preceding.  He married 10 December 1662, Ann Judson, daughter of Joshua Judson, had Sarah, born 10 December 1664; Joseph, February 1666; Benjamin, 16 February 1667; Ebenezer, 9 November 1668; Ruth, 12 February 1670; and John, 17 August 1673.  He early removed to Woodbury.

JOSEPH HURLBUT, or JOSEPH HURLBERT, Woodbury, probably son of Thomas Hurlbut of Wethersfield.  He had, as Cothren teaches, wife Mary, who died 2 February 1712; and he adds, that his children Joseph, John, and Sarah, all adults, were baptized August 1697; Cornelius, Jonathan, and Rebecca, all adults, March 1705; besides Mary, and Phebe, in April 1706, who were old enough to marry respectively in ten and fourteen years.

THOMAS HURLBUT, or THOMAS HURLBERT, Wethersfield, served in the Pequot war 1637, in which he was wounded.  By wife Sarah, had John, born 8 March 1642; Thomas; Samuel; and Joseph.  The dates of whose births as also that of his death are unknown but he was living 1671.  All these, except John, lived at Wethersfield some years later.

THOMAS HURLBUT, or THOMAS HURLBERT, the son of preceding.  He died 1689, leaving Timothy, Nathaniel, and Ebenezer.

THOMAS HURLBUT, or THOMAS HURLBERT, Woodbury.  He had Jemima baptized August 1680; Jerusha, April 1683; Thomas, December 1684; and Gideon, August 1688.  Cothren says the record tells no more of the family.  Who was the father of this Woodbury settler is doubtful.

WILLIAM HURLBUT, or WILLIAM HURLBERT, Dorchester 1635, removed to Windsor perhaps as early as 1640.  He married Ann Allen, daughter of Samuel Allen, who died 13 November 1687.  He died 17 April 1694.

 

HURNDELL. See Harndale.

 

WILLIAM HURRY, Charlestown.  By wife Hannah Hett, daughter of Thomas Hett, had William, born 1 December 1664.  She joined to the church 6 January 1667, and on 13 January 1667 had her children William, Hannah, and Temperance baptized; and John, 3 November 1667; Matthew, 4 April 1669; Sarah, Rebecca, and Rachel, born at one birth 25 December 1670; Rebecca, again, 9 February 1673; Abigail, 26 July 1674; and probably no more.  He died 10 January 1690.

WILLIAM HURRY, Charlestown, son of the preceding.  By wife Hannah Call, married 30 March 1690, had Hannah, baptized 15 July 1694, died young; and Hannah, again, 5 October 1701; and others before or after.

 

HURRYMAN. See Harriman.

 

JAMES HURST, Plymouth 1632, a tanner, erected the first works in the town for that object, about 1640; one of the purchasers of Dartmouth.  He was Deacon and died December 1657.  His will of 10 December 1657 gave house to his wife whose baptism name is not well made out by Winsor, though he is confident of its resemblance to Gartend, and, I doubt not, it was Catharine, appoints her executrix and names no children but grandchildren John, Gershom, James, Eleazer, Hannah, and Patience Cobb, and Mary Dunham, wife of Jonathan, all children of his daughter Patience, wife of the first Henry Cobb.

JOHN HURST, Boston.  By wife Alice, had Richard, born 4 October 1690.  Of one Goodman Hurst, in an earlier day, the inventory 23 December 1653, taken by Goodman Fletcher, goodman Kilcup, and goodman Lake, brought into Court 25 April 1654 by William Brenton, renders it probable that he was of Boston.  Neither of the four goodmen seem to have enjoyed Christian names.

THOMAS HURST, Hadley 1678.  He removed to Deerfield, there had Sarah, born 1685; Elizabeth, 1687, Thomas, 1691; Hannah, 1695; Ebenezer, 1698; and Benoni, 1702.  Early in this year (1702) he died.  His widow and the six children were taken 29 February 1704 by the French and Indians to Canada.  The youngest (Benoni) was killed on the route.  The mother with eldest two children (Sarah and Elizabeth) got back from captivity but the other three were kept by the enemy.

WILLIAM HURST, Sandwich.  He married 17 March 1640, Catharine Thurston.  He died 1641, leaving widow Catharine, who had administration of his estate 1 June 1641.

 

ABEL HUSE, Newbury.  He came, it is said, from London 1635; but was not freeman till 18 May 1642.  His wife Elinor, of which no children is recorded, died 27 March 1663.  He married 25 May 1663 Mary Sears, probably daughter of Thomas Sears, had Ruth, born 25 February 1664; Abel, 19 February 1665; Thomas, 9 August 1666; William, October 1667; Sarah, 8 December 1670; John, 20 June 1670 (in one, or both, of the last two, Coffin has given false dates, of course); Amy, 9 September 1673, died young; and a son Ebenezer, 10 August 1675.  He died 29 March 1690, aged 88, says Coffin; but that will bear very liberal subtraction no doubt.

ABEL HUSE, Newbury, son of the preceding.  By wife Judith, had Abel, born 18 November 1696; Stephen  Huse, 16 November 1702, Harvard College 1726; and Samuel, 30 March 1705.

EDWARD HUSE, Gloucester, freeman 1690.

NICHOLAS HUSE, Stratford.  He married about 1692, Abigail Thompson, daughter of John Thompson, widow of Jonathan Curtis, perhaps as first, perhaps as second wife, had no children, and about 1695, his widow married Samuel Sherman, and she died 1731.

THOMAS HUSE, Newbury, son of the first Abel Huse.  By wife Hannah, had Mary, born 23 March 1691; Israel, 23 October 1693; Ebenezer, 16 January 1696; James, 29 June 1698; Hannah, 5 November 1700; and Ruth, 14 February 1703.

WILLIAM HUSE, Newbury, brother of the preceding.  He married 1699, Ann Russell, had Ann, born 22 May 1700; and William, 30 October 1701.

 

CHRISTOPHER HUSSEY, or CHRISTOPHER HUZZEY, Newbury, was first of Lynn.  He came 1632 with Reverend Stephen Batchilor, whose daughter Theodata Batchilor he had married in England.  She died 20 October 1649.  He was, says Coffin, of Dorking, in County Surrey, and was probably a passenger in the William and Francis, arriving at Boston 5 June 1632.  He removed 1639 to Hampton, was Representative 1658, 59, and 60, and counselor of the Province; and engaged in settling of Haverhill.  He died 6 March 1686 by shipwreck on the Florida coast, says Lewis, aged 87; nearly 90, says Coffin.  His wife died October 1646.  He had Stephen, born in England perhaps 1630; John, baptized at Lynn 28 February 1636; Joseph; Huldah; Mary, baptized at Newbury, 2 April 1637; and Theodata, baptized 23 August 1640.  After 1658 he married widow Ann Mingay, who died 24 June 1680, and he died 1685.  He is thought but not justly, to be ancestor of all the thousands in our land bearing this name.  His daughter Huldah married John Smith, and lived to 97 years says tradition.  A Mary Hussey, says Belk I. 21, was a widow at Hampton 1638, and she may have been his mother.

JOHN HUSSEY, or JOHN HUZZEY, Hampton, son of the preceding.  He married 2 September 1659, Rebecca Perkins, daughter of Isaac Perkins of the same, had two sons and fourteen daughters.  After 1688, he removed to Newcastle, Delaware and was a preacher to the Quakers.

JOSEPH HUSSEY, or JOSEPH HUZZEY, Hampton, brother of the preceding, was a Captain,  Representative in 1672.

ROBERT HUSSEY, or ROBERT HUZZEY, Duxbury 1643-55, in this latter year was witness to the will of Reverend Ralph Partridge.  He probably died twelve years after.

ROBERT HUSSEY, or ROBERT HUZZEY, Dover, in the tax list of 1659.

ROBERT HUSSEY, or ROBERT HUZZEY, Boston, freeman 1690.

STEPHEN HUSSEY, or STEPHEN HUZZEY, Nantucket, probably eldest son of Christopher Hussey, grandson of Reverend Stephen Bachiler, born in England.  He married 8 October 1676, Martha Bunker, daughter of George Bunker, had Puella, if the record is good, born 10 October 1677; Abigail, 22 December 1679; Silvanus, 13 May 1682; Bachiler, 18 February 1685; Daniel, 20 October 1687; Mary, 24 March 1690; George, 21 June 1694; and Theodate, 15 September 1700.  He had good estate and died 2 April 1718.  His widow Martha died 21 November 1744, aged near 88.

WILLIAM HUSSEY, or WILLIAM HUZZEY, one of the early settlers at Reading, according to the list of Mr. Eaton.

 

JOHN HUSTING, Manchester 1649.

 

ENOCH HUTCHINS, or ENOCH HUTCHINGS, New Hampshire.  He married 5 April 1667, Mary Stevenson, perhaps daughter of Thomas Stevenson of Dover.

GEORGE HUTCHINS, or GEORGE HUTCHINGS, Cambridge, freeman March 1638.  By wife Jane, had Joseph, born 28 December 1639; Luke, 6 April 1644; Ann, 30 September 1645; and Abiah, 3 April 1648. Perhaps Barbarie Hutson, who by Cambridge record died 14 February 1640, was his daughter, for great latitude in spelling this name is seen therein.

JOHN HUTCHINS, or JOHN HUTCHINGS, Newbury.  By wife Frances, had William; Joseph, born 15 November 1640; Benjamin, 15 May 1641, perhaps an error of a year or two; Love, 16 July 1647; Elizabeth and Samuel.  He removed to Haverhill, and died says Coffin, 1674, aged 70.  Love married 15 December 1668, Samuel Sherburne of Hampton; and Elizabeth married 1 April 1656, Thomas Ayer. 

JOHN HUTCHINS, or JOHN HUTCHINGS, Wethersfield.  He died 1681, leaving Sarah and Ann.

JONATHAN HUTCHINS, or JONATHAN HUTCHINGS, Kittery, a youth of 14 years taken by the Indians May 1698.  Mather, Magnalia VII. 95.

JOSEPH HUTCHINS, or JOSEPH HUTCHINGS, Boston.  He married 1 September 1657, Mary Edmonds, daughter of William Edmonds of Lynn.

JOSEPH HUTCHINS, or JOSEPH HUTCHINGS, Haverhill, swore fidelity 28 November 1677, was, perhaps, son of John Hutchins.

NICHOLAS HUTCHINS, or NICHOLAS HUTCHINGS, Lynn.  He married 4 April 1666, Elizabeth Farr, daughter of George Farr, had John, born 3 June 1668; and Elizabeth, 15 June 1670.

RICHARD HUTCHINS, or RICHARD HUTCHINGS, requested administration as freeman 19 October 1630, and so may be thought to have come in the fleet with Winthrop, but as we know not of his taking the oath.  It is probable he either died soon, or went home the same year

SAMUEL HUTCHINS, or SAMUEL HUTCHINGS, Haverhill, perhaps son of John Hutchins of the same.  He married at Andover, 24 June 1662, Hannah Johnson.  He was one of the first representatives under the new charter of 1692.

SAMUEL HUTCHINS, or SAMUEL HUTCHINGS, Kittery, taken by the Indians May 1698.

WILLIAM HUTCHINS, or WILLIAM HUTCHINGS, Rowley 1666, perhaps the eldest son of John Hutchins, and brother of Samuel Hutchins.  He married 1 September 1657, Mary Edmunds, daughter of William Edmunds of Lynn.  He was freeman 1682.  Perhaps is he who married 30 April 1685, Elizabeth Growth, who may have been daughter of John Growth.  Six of this name had, in 1829, been graduates at New England Colleges.

 

BENJAMIN HUTCHINSON, Salem village, perhaps son of Joseph Hutchinson, of which all I can find is the exploit of strikers at a specter as in one of the witchcraft trials, 1692, was testified. 

EDWARD HUTCHINSON, Boston, son of Susanna, a widow (who came in May 1636 with John Wheelwright, and her daughter Mary, his wife) but this son came with wife Sarah, in 1633, probably in the Griffin, having fellow-passenger English John Cotton, the distinguished theologian Elder Leverett, Governor Brenton, Edmund Quincy, Atherton Hough, and other prominent persons, most of who were, like himself from Lincolnshire.  The family was of Alford, in that County about 25 miles from Boston.  His administration into the church was in October the same year with Leverett and Brenton, and a month earlier than Quincy and Hough.  He was freeman 4 March 1634.  He had baptized here John, 31 August 1634; and Ichabod (it being in the worst of the antinomian controversy) 3 September 1637.  He is in the church record called senior.  He was one of the principal men, whose heresy made it necessary to disarm them in 1637, unless his nephew of the same name be thus honored.  He withdrew from the "sanguine cloud" that overcast the whole sky of Massachusetts going to Rhode Island with his family shortly after the birth of this last child, and perhaps soon after to England whence he never came back.

EDWARD HUTCHINSON, Boston, eldest son of William Hutchinson, called junior to distinguish him from his uncle, the preceding.  He came before his parents, a single man, administered of the church 10 August 1634, freeman 3 September 1634, artillery company 1638, a Captain 1657, Representative 1658, and served in important ranks in Philip's war 1675, in which on 2 August 1675 he recorded wound from Indians in treacherous assault, says history, when he was marching to a peaceful meeting with them.  He died of his wounds 19 August 1675 at Marlborough, aged 62, as the gravestone says.  He was with his uncle and father, among the first settlers at Newport, forming their covenant 7 March 1638, but in few years preferred Boston for his residence and deserves honor for his firmness in opposing cruelty to the Quakers.  A large member of the family in Genealogical Registrar I. 297, says, his first wife was Catharine Hamby, daughter of a lawyer at Ipswich, England, but it has error of date, about 1640, whereas we know by our church record that "Catharine, the wife of our brother Edward Hutchinson the younger," was administered 10 February 1639, and had been married in 1636, or early in 1637, for among the baptized are, 5 November 1637, Elishua, daughter of Edward Hutchinson the younger, who probably died young; Elizabeth, 10 November 1639; Elisha, 28 November 1641, being about 13 days old; Ann, 19 November 1643, about 2 days old; William, 18 January 1646, about one day old, died young; Catharine, 14 May 1648, died soon; Susanna, 10 June 1649; Edward, perhaps January 1652; Catharine, again, born 13 February 1653; Benjamin, 22 June 1656, died before his father; and Hannah, 16 May 1658.  A second wife Abigail, widow of Robert Button, survived, and died 10 August 1689.  She was mother of the last four children and daughter of the widow Alice Vermaies of Salem.  The pedigree in Drake's valuable History of Boston, 227, though it avoids the error of the less careful family Memoir as to date of marriage yet follows that authority in giving only three children to the second wife where he is wrong, and disagrees with him, where he is right, in parentage of the son Edward; besides marking the baptism of Elisha on a wrong day 29 November 1641, which was Monday, when the record shows the true date 28.  Of the daughters, Elizabeth married Edward Winslow, for second wife; Ann married a Dyer, of Newport, and next, Daniel Vernon; Susanna married Nathaniel Coddington of Newport; Catharine married Henry Bartholomew of Salem; and Hannah married Peter Walker of Taunton.  Winslow, the husband of Elizabeth died 1682, or perhaps late in 1681, and she married again; and Susanna had a second husband.

EDWARD HUTCHINSON, Boston, eldest son of Richard Hutchinson.  He came about 1654, from London, to attend to business of his father was here some years and went home.

EDWARD HUTCHINSON, Boston, son of the second Edward Hutchinson of the same.  He died 1692, unmarried it is thought.  His will of 21 May 1692, probated 16 June 1692 names his brother Elisha, sister Winslow, sister Dudson, sister Tucker, my kinsman Robert Dudson, sister Bartholomew, wife of Henry of Salem, and sister Hannah Walker, wife of Peter of Taunton.  Only the two last were sisters of the whole blood.  Robert Dudson was husband of sister Dudson, named Abigail, who as well as sister Tucker were of the half blood by his mother and the first two legatees were of the half blood by his father.

EDWARD HUTCHINSON, Lynn, perhaps son of Samuel Hutchinson of the same.  He had Thomas, born March 1654; Mary, September 1656; Joseph, June 1658; and Sarah, 24 September 1671.

ELIAKIM HUTCHINSON, Boston, son of Richard Hutchinson, youngest of eight, who were, as I judge, born in England, sent from London, 1664, by his father a merchant of eminence.  He married Sarah Shrimpton, daughter of Henry Shrimpton, had Richard, born 13 January 1669, died soon; Richard, again, 18 April 1670; Mary, 30 September 1671; Sarah, 15 October 1673; Abigail, 7 March 1677; Eliakim, 3 December 1679, died young; Elizabeth; and William Hutchinson, Harvard College 1702, the first granddaughter of the family.  He was freeman 1673, several years of the council under the new charter, and he died 22 April 1717, aged 78.  His will of 3 February 1716 names only son William, grandson Eliakim Palmer, son of Thomas; and children of daughter Elizabeth Phips.  It speaks of what estate came from his brother William of Jamaica.

ELISHA HUTCHINSON, Boston, eldest son of the second Edward Hutchinson, and grandson of William Hutchinson, freeman 1666, County 1660, a Captain 1676, and had high military rank after, was Representative 1680-83, a counselor 1684 to his death 10 December 1717.   By his first wife Hannah Hawkins, daughter of Captain Thomas Hawkins, he had Mary, born 11 October 1666, died young; Elisha, 16 March 1668; Elizabeth, 24 February 1670; Hannah, 20 January 1672; Catharine, 24 February 1673; Thomas, 30 January 1675; and Mary, again, 1 October 1676.  By second wife Elizabeth Clark, widow of John Freak, daughter of Captain Thomas Clark, who died 3 February 1713, had Edward, 18 June 1678; Mehitable, 6 February 1680; and Elisha, 16 May 1681.  He left no will. Thomas Hutchinson, his son, a gentleman of the highest reputation who died 3 December 1739, was by wife Sarah Foster, daughter of Honorable John Foster, father of Thomas Hutchinson, born 9 September 1711, Harvard College 1727, the celebrity and unhappy Governor.

FRANCIS HUTCHINSON, Boston 1634, son of William Hutchinson, freeman 4 March 1635.  He went with his father 1638 to Rhode Island and thence, after death of his father, to East Chester, and beyond the West bounds of Connecticut about 1642 with his mother (for maintaining whose opinions and his own church rights he had been fined and imprisoned at Boston 1641).  There he probably was killed by the Indians in September 1643, when her plantation was destroyed and all the family.  See Winthrop II. 135, 6.

FRANCIS HUTCHINSON, Concord.  He died November 1661. 

FRANCIS HUTCHINSON, Lynn, born in England about 1630.  He married 11 December 1661, Sarah Leighton, who died in few days.  Probably he removed to Reading, and freeman 1685.  He died 1702, perhaps had Francis, and was freeman in 1691.

GEORGE HUTCHINSON, Charlestown.  He came probably in the fleet, 1630, with Winthrop, was very early of the church of Boston number 53.  With his wife Margaret dismissed to found the new church of Charlestown.  He had Nathaniel, baptized 9 November 1633.  He was freeman 1 April 1634, and died 11 December 1660.  His will, made 3 December 1660, names his wife, an apprentice Eleazer White, and appoints son Nathaniel his executor.

GEORGE HUTCHINSON, New London 1680.  He had wife Margaret, who in 1686, obtained divorce for his desertion.

JOHN HUTCHINSON, Salem, perhaps brother more probably son of Richard Hutchinson of the same, son of Richard Hutchinson.  He had wife Sarah Putnam, who was daughter of Thomas Putnam.  He married July 1672.  Hee died in the summer of 1676, leaving widow Sarah and only one child, who died young. 

JOHN HUTCHINSON, New Haven, of who I know no more, but that he took oath of fidelity 1 July 1644.

JOHN HUTCHINSON, Northampton, son of Ralph Hutchinson.  He had John, born 1683; Jonathan, 1685; Hannah, 1688; Joseph, 1690; Thankful, 1693; and Hezekiah, 1696.  He removed to Lebanon.

JOSEPH HUTCHINSON, Salem, son of Richard Hutchinson of the same.  He came probably with his father.  He had on church records baptized 26 September 1666, Abigail, Bethia, Joseph, and John; besides Abigail, again, born 14 January 1679; Richard, 10 May 1681; Samuel, 9 October 1682; Ambrose, 4 June 1684; Lydia, 13 September 1685; and Robert, 13 November 1687.  Most, or all of these, however, were by second wife.  He lived in that part called village, now Danvers, was freeman 1690, and sadly grieved in the active proceeding of his minister Paris, the hypochondriac enemy of witchcraft 1692.

JOSEPH HUTCHINSON, Danvers, son of the preceding.  He married 28 February 1678, Lydia Small, had Abigail, born 14 January 1679; Richard, 10 May 1681; Samuel, 9 October 1682; Ambrose, 4 June 1684; Lydia, 13 September 1685; and Robert, 13 November 1687.  By wife Elizabeth, had Joseph, 27 January 1690; Ruth, 26 February 1692; Bethia, 24 December 1693; Ebenezer, 20 February 1695; Elizabeth, 22 February 1696; Elisha, 14 March 1697; and Jasper, 31 January 1699, at which time the mother died.

JUDAH HUTCHINSON, Northampton, son of Ralph Hutchinson.  He had Judah, Ebenezer, and seven daughters.

MOSES HUTCHINSON, Northampton, brother of the preceding.  He had two children, one of who was, with the father, killed by the Indians 13 May 1704 in that part of the town called Pascomuck.

NATHANIEL HUTCHINSON, Charlestown, son of George Hutchinson.  He married 16 March 1660, Sarah Baker.  He was freeman 1663.  He had Nathaniel, born 24 September 1662; William, 21, baptized 25 September 1664, died young; Thomas, 16, baptized 21 October 1666; William, again, baptized 21 February 1669; Margaret, 12 June 1670; Samuel, 22 September 1672; and Stephen, 2, baptized 7 October 1677.  He died 1 October 1693, says his gravestone, aged 61.

RALPH HUTCHINSON, Boston.  He married 1656, Alice Bennett, widow of Francis Bennett, had John, removed to Northampton, there had Mehitable, born 1662, died soon; Judah, 1664; Samuel, 1666; and Moses, 1671.

RICHARD HUTCHINSON, Boston, son of William Hutchinson.  He united with our church 9 November 1634, the same day with his brother Francis Hutchinson, a week after his mother, and a fortnight after his father, freeman on the same day with his father and brother 4 March 1635, was disarmed for siding with his mother 1637, went home, I think, before the family removed to Newport.  He was by our church recommended 28 December 1645, to that of famous Dr. Thomas Goodwin at London, where his relative Governor Hutchinson confused him with his uncle Richard, who by the ordinance of Parliament 27 July 1649 was made one of the sixteen members of the Society for property the Gospel.  See Scobell's Acts, or Hutchinson I. 164.  He was a wealthy ironmonger in Cheapside, and his loss by the great fire of 1666, was, it is said by Hutchinson £60,000.  After large investigation I have concluded that Hutchinson was in error, in assuring us, that Richard, a brother of William, was ever in Boston, and that he mistook this son of William for the elder Richard, his uncle.

RICHARD HUTCHINSON, Salem.  By wife Alice, had Elizabeth, born about 1628; Rebecca; Joseph, about 1633; all in England, Abigail, baptized 25 December 1636; Hannah, 20 January 1639; and John, 2 July 1643, who died 1676; and may have had other children by her, as Mary, and Joseph; besides Sarah, who married a Root, and next, Nathaniel Putnam; and Rebecca, wife of Hadlock.  He had two other wives one, widow Susanna Archer or Orchar, married October 1668, died 26 November 1674; the other, Sarah Standish, called daughter of James Standish, who outlived him.  Hee died 1682, aged 81, leaving son Joseph and five daughters.  His will, probated 26 September 1682, names the widow and son, besides son-in-law Anthony Ashby, and his wife Abigail; Daniel Bordman, and his Hannah; grandchildren Bethia Hutchinson, and Sarah Hadlock; his slave Peter, to who and his heirs he devised 5 acres of land and son-in-law Nathaniel Putnam, Thomas Hale, the husband of his daughter Mary, and James Hadlock.

SAMUEL HUTCHINSON, Boston, brother of William Hutchinson, a bachelor, is not known long here, and perhaps did not live here many years before his death, but had grant of land 20 May 1638, at Rhode Island, whither he went, no doubt, with his brother William Hutchinson, and had been associated with his brother Wheelwright in purchase from Indians at Exeter and Wells.  In his will of 17 April 1667 probated 16 July 1667, gives copious proof of his knowledge of brothers and sisters and their children as Samuel, eldest son of sister Wheelwright, and her six daughters Elizabeth Person, Catharine Nayler, Mary Lyde, Rebecca Maverick, Hannah Checkley, and Sarah, perhaps unmarried as her surname is omitted; besides Edward Rishworth, eldest son of that Rishworth, who had married a sister of the testator; next, the seven children named them, of my cousin [i.e. niece], Faith Savage deceased, then cousin Peleg Sanford, and several others of that connection in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, also Elizabeth, eldest daughter and Ann, Susan, and Elisha, eldest son of cousin Edward, cousin Susanna Cole, and cousin Bridget Willis.  Faith, Edward, Susanna, and Bridget, were those children of Ann, who were not cut off by the Indians when that Jezabel, as Welde calls her, met her sad fate.  He wrote from Boston "and swore to a letter sent from Old England to New, 1659," though it was not printed at London before 1667.  It is about the Millennium; but seems not wild about the fifth monarchy and King Jesus.

SAMUEL HUTCHINSON, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, a freeman in the list 1655, was probably son of William Hutchinson, and had Richard, named in the will of his uncle Edward Hutchinson.

SAMUEL HUTCHINSON, who by Lewis is called of Lynn 1637, was probably of Reading 1670.

SAMUEL HUTCHINSON, Andover.  He married 26 April 1686, Elizabeth Parker, who may have been daughter of Joseph Parker, had, perhaps, several children, but John, who died 4 January 1689, is the only one known.

THOMAS HUTCHINSON, Charlestown 1630.  He came, no doubt, in the fleet with Winthrop, perhaps brother of George Hutchinson, who is next below him in the list of very early members of the church.  He is marked dead probably before the separation of the churches.

THOMAS HUTCHINSON, Lynn 1637, says Lewis; and I suppose he removed to Long Island where in May 1664, he was administered freeman of Connecticut.

THOMAS HUTCHINSON, Boston.  By wife Mary, had Thomas, born 25 March 1672.  But, as I find not the name again, I presume he was here only transient.

WILLIAM HUTCHINSON, Boston.  He came in the ship with Reverend John Lathrop and Zechary Symmes, 1634, bringing wife and all his children except Edward, his eldest son, who came with Cotton the former year, and daughter Mary, wife of Reverend John Wheelwright, who came two years later.  He arrived in September 1634 and next month united with our church.  He had lived at Alford, in County Lincoln, about 25 miles from Boston, and probably both himself and wife Ann Marbury, daughter of Reverend Edward Marbury of Lincolnshire were drawn hither by their admiration of John Cotton.  He was freeman 4 March 1635, and two sons Richard and Francis were administered the same day; Representative May 1635, and four courts following.  He had one child Zuriel, baptized 13 March 1636; but by the violent heats of the religious controversy in which his friends, Sir Henry Vane and John Cotton were defeated, and his family besides others of the party very severely treated.  He was forced, with Coddington and other prominent men, to remove to Rhode Island.  There in 1638, formed a new civil compact, not much unlike that of Massachusetts, was an Assistant 1639, and died about 1642.  His widow Ann, who had been the gifted prophetess of the doleful heresies that shook and almost subverted the Colony of Massachusetts removed next year from Rhode Island beyond Connecticut to the Dutch Province and before being, fairly established in her new plantation was, with several children and servant to the number of sixteen, cut off by the Indians.  His daughter Faith married at Boston about 1637, Thomas Savage; Susanna married 30 December 1651, John Cole; Bridget married a Willis of Bridgewater, whose baptized name is unknown; and one married Collins, a scholar, of who Winthrop II. 38, tells. This last, and the son Francis perished with their mother.  The widow Susanna, mother of Edward, Richard, Samuel, William, of the wife of Rishworth, and of Mary, the wife of Wheelwright, went from Boston to Exeter with her daughter’s husband in his banishment and thence to Wells, where she was buried.  By the Editorial in our days of the Memoirs of Colonel John Hutchinson, the regicide, written by the charming pen of his Lady Lucy, a tradition is given that one of the grandsons of the warlike puritan emigrated "to the West Indies or America."  But the common looseness of tradition and the unusual carelessness of the Reverend publisher, in his story of seeing somebody from the Western world, who told him of the venerable in which that gentlemen's descendants were held on our side of the Atlantic, are equally unworthy of regard.  Thirteen of this name had been graduates at Harvard in 1770, and none since.

 

JOHN HUTHWIT, Woodbury.  He came with sister Ann, "of gentle blood," orphans early, by the guardian in England, defrauded of property and sent over here, according to the vulgar tradition for romantic beginning of a family.  By wife Judith, had Elizabeth, baptized July 1689, died young; Ann, November 1690; Martha, November 1693; Mary, May 1696; and Elizabeth again, April 1698.  All these children being female, and the sister having married a Pierce, as in Cothren is seen, very little hope of retribution, that ought to follow, after a century and three quarters elapsed since the enormity should now be indulged.

 

RICHARD HUTLEY, Ipswich 1639.  Perhaps it is the same as Utley.

 

JOHN HUTTON, Wenham 1675.

RICHARD HUTTON, Wenham, perhaps brother of the preceding, freeman 1672, was born about 1621.

 

THOMAS HUXLY, Hartford.  He married Sarah Spencer, eldest daughter of Thomas Spencer of the same, had Thomas, born 7 April 1668; also John, Sarah, Mary, and Elizabeth, whose dates of births are not given.  Removed to Suffield, there had Jared 1680; Hannah 1682; Nathaniel, 1683, died within 2 years; and William, 1687.  His wife died 24 October 1712; he died 21 July 1721.  His estate was devised 1722, when sons John, Jared, and William, and all the daughters were living.

 

CHRISTOPHER HUXSTABLE, Marblehead 1668.

 

THOMAS HYATT, Dorchester 1633, called by John Russell, in his will that year brother.
