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.

SAMUEL KEAIS, New Hampshire, married 4 February 1696, Mary, widow of John Hoddy, had Samuel, born 11 April 1697; and William, 27 August 1699.

BENJAMIN KEAYNE, Boston 1638, only son of Rober Keaynet, born in London, came with his father when his age was rated perhaps two or more years too low, freeman 6 September 1639, Artillery Company 1638, married before 9 June 1639, Sarah Dudley, daughter of Governor Thomas Dudley, had only child Ann; lived some short time at Lynn, was a Major went home, in disgust with his wife about 1645, and repudiated her; died 1668. She had been disciplined November 1646 for irregular prophesy, and was excommunicated in October 1647, and sadly degraded but was made the wife of one Pacey. Ann, who was well provided for in will of grandfather Keayne, making the chief gentleman here to assist his wife "to dispose of her for her future education unto some such wise and godly mistress or family where she may have her carnal disposition most of all subdued and reformed by strict discipline; and also that they would show like care and assistance in seasonable time to provide some fit and godly match, proportional to her estate and condition that she may live comfortable and be fit to do good in her place, and not to suffer her to be circumvented or to cast away herself upon some swagger. gentleman or other, that will look more after the enjoyment what she hath, than live in the fear of God, and true love to her," married 11 December 1657, Edward Lane, a merchant from London, and, next, to Nicholas Paige; but she seems ill to have repaid the pious care of her grandfather and died 30 June 1704. Her grandfather took care, that her mother "Sarah Dudley, now Sarah Pacey, may have no part" of the property thus giving to the daughter. The unhappy wife of Keayne died November 1659. See Winthrop I. 314 and II. 4.

JOHN KEAYNE, Hingham, died 14 January 1650, of who no more is known but that his name appears sometimes Cane.

ROBERT KEAYNE, Boston, merchant of the Taylors' company of London, came in the Defence, 1635, aged 40, with wife Ann, 38; and son Benjamin, 16; perhaps, however, some of these years are designedly wrong. In 1624 he had been one of the undertakers, who encouraged the Plymouth Pilgrims, and of his published spirit no doubt can be felt by any who reads his will, begun 1 August 1653, and for some years extended. Of husband a very short abstract is seen in Genealogical Registrar VI. 89 and 152. He was freeman 25 May 1636, Representative 1638 and 9, one of the founders of Artillery Company having been "trained up in military discipline from his younger years" in London Artillery; died 23 March 1656, and his widow married 16 October 1660, Samuel Cole.

KEDALL, KEDELL, or KEEDELL, is a strange name of two maids that married very reputable at Watertown, viz. Mary, 11 January 1655, Thomas Whitney; and Bethia, 3 November 1666, Theophilus Phillips; and long and large inquiry has been foiled as to their origin.

JOHN KEELER, Norwalk, son of Ralph Keeler, married 18 June 1678, Mehitable Rockwell, daughter of John Rockwell, had Elizabeth, born 19 March 1679; John, 26 December 1682; and, perhaps, others; was Representative 1698.

RALPH KEELER, Hartford, had a lot in 1640, though not original proprietor there, had Rebecca, born 9 February 1651; and Elizabeth who may have been born at Norwalk; besides an elder daughter who married Thomas Moorhouse, who was not named in the will of 20 August 1672, when he calls his age 59 years, and the Court of Probate corrected the oversight in her favor. With the first settlement of Norwalk he planted there, was freeman 1668, had John, Ralph, Samuel, and Jonah, who died 1676; and died 1672, between 20 August and 10 September. He had married Sarah, widow of Henry Whelpley.

RALPH KEELER, Norwalk, perhaps the eldest son of the preceding, freeman 1675, had Sarah, who married 7 December 1702, Nathan Olmstead, as may be guessed from Hall, 194. Probably he had other children.

SAMUEL KEELER, Norwalk, brother of the preceding, was in the great Narragansett fight, 19 December 1675, married 10 March 1682, Sarah Sension, daughter of Mark Sension, or St. John, had Samuel; and probably more; was Representative 1701.

EDWARD KEELEY, or EDWARD KEILEY, New Haven, a proprietor in 1685, may be he, who came from London, 1635, in the Hopewell, Captain Bundocke, aged 14. In his will, of 27 September 1690, is named no wife nor child, but legacies of his small property are seen to Nathan Andrews and two others.

ARTHUR KEEN, or ARTHUR KEAN, Boston, died March or April 1687, his will being of 21 March in that year, probated 14 April following. It mentioned wife Jane, to whom he gave all his estate for her life; son John and daughter Sarah Pierce, who was wife of William, married 13 July 1666, equal share of remainder.

JOHN KEEN, or JOHN KEAN, Boston 1662, mariner, and in few years innholder, may be that passenger in the Confidence from Southampton, 1638, aged 17, with Martha, 60, who may have been his mother, Elizabeth, Martha, Josias, and Sarah, probably his brother and sister.

JOSIAH KEEN, or JOSIAH KEAN, Duxbury, married Hannah Dingley, daughter of John Dingley, had John, born 1661; Josiah; Matthew; and Hannah. The last married 1695, Isaac Oldham of Scituate.

WILLIAM KEEN, or WILLIAM KEAN, Salem 1638, of who Felt says, he had in that year a grant of land and nobody else tells anything.

ALEXANDER KEENY, ALEXANDER KENY, or ALEXANDER KEENEY, Wethersfield, freeman 1667, died 1680, leaving Alexander, 18; Thomas and Sarah, twins 16; Joseph, 14; Lydia, 11; Ebenezer, 8; and Richard, 6. His widow Alice died 1683.

JOHN KEENY, JOHN KENY, or JOHN KEENEY, New London, son of William Keeny, freeman 1670, married October 1661, Sarah Douglas, daughter of William Douglas, had Susanna, born September 1662; John, William, and Hannah.

WILLIAM KEENY, WILLIAM KENY, or WILLIAM KEENEY, Gloucester, by wife Agnes, had Susanna; Mary; and John, born about 1640; removed to New London about 1651; in 1662 was aged about 61, and his wife 63; he died 1675. Susanna married Ralph Parker; and Mary married Samuel Beebe. This name is not became Kinne.

JOHN KEEP, Springfield 1660, freeman 1669, married 31 December 1663, Sarah Leonard, had Sarah, born 1666; Elizabeth, 1668, died young; Samuel, 1670; Hannah, 1673; and Jabez, who was, with his mother taken by the Indians 20 March 1676, when the husband was killed, as were the mother and children soon after. The Commander of the forces on Connecticut River Major Savage, in despatch of 28 March tells the story.

SAMUEL KEEP, Springfield, son of the preceding, married 1696, Sarah Colton, had twelve children.

JOHN KEESE, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, married 18 September 1682, Ann Manton, daughter of Shadrach Manton, had Alice, born August 1683; William, 26 October 1685; Patience, 27 June 1690; John, 14 March 1693; Shadrach, 5 October 1695; Ann, 26 October 1698; and he died 10 December 1700.

FRANCIS KERT, Northampton, had come from the East part of the Colony on serving in Philip's war, was at the Falls fight, 19 May 1676; married Hannah French, daughter of John French, had Francis, John, and, perhaps, Thomas.

JOHN KEETCH, Boston, by wife Hannah, had Mary, who died 1 January 1656, says the record.

JAMES KEITH, first minister of Bridgewater, bred at one of the colleges In Aberdeen, came about 1662, was ordained early in 1664, when he was under 21 years, about 23 July 1719, in 76th year. In the solemn induction a part was born by Reverend Increase Mather, perhaps the youngest minister in the assembly; yet in the Magnalia III. 4, with heedlessness, strange even in Cotton Mather, his third classis, "of such minister as came over to New England after the reestablishment of the Episcopal Church government" in England among all the veterans is crowded in our Keith; which might be less, could not be more than 18 years. Ever honored should be his name for opposition to the design of putting to death the child of King Philip. His first wife was Susanna Edson, probably daughter of Deacon Samuel Edson, and his second, 1707, was Mary Williams of Taunton, widow of Thomas; and all his children were by the first. Of one daughter as I presume, the marriage is found at Taunton in the records of Jonathan Howard and Susanna Keith 8 January 1689. Progeny of his sons James, Joseph, Samuel, Timothy, John, and Josiah, is scattered through most of the United States. At Bridgewater alone in 1810, this name counted 200. Of his daughters Margaret married a Hunt; and Mary married Ephraim Howard.

JAMES KEITH, Bridgewater, son of the preceding, by wife Mary, had James, born 1696; Mary, 1698; Gershom, 1701; Israel, 1703; Faithful, 1704; Esther, 1707; Jane, 1709; and Simeon, 1712; removed to Mendon 1719. JOHN KEITH, Bridgewater, brother of the preceding, married 1711, Hannah Washburn, daughter of Samuel Washburn, had John, born 1712; James, 1716; Israel, 1719; Hannah, 1721; Kezia, 1723; Daniel, 1725; Susanna, 1727; Zephaniah, 1730; Joseph; and Mary; and died 1761. His widow died 1766.

JOSEPH KEITH, Bridgewater, brother of the preceding, married Elizabeth Fobes, daughter of Edward Fobes, had Ann, born 1695; Susanna, 1697; Joseph, 1699; Jemima, 1701; Eleazer, 1703; Abigail, 1705; Ephraim, 1707; Ichabod, 1709; Martha, 1711; Mary, 1713; and Elizabeth 1716; was Representative 1726, and made his will 1730; and his widow made hers 1759.

JOSIAH KEITH, Bridgewater, brother of the preceding, married 1703, Mary Lothrop, daughter of Samuel Lothrop, had Margaret, born 1704; Joseph, 1706; William, 1708; Mark, 1710; Sarah, 1712; Mary, 1714; Daniel, 1716; Jane; Silence; and Phebe; and removed to Easton.

SAMUEL KEITH, Bridgewater, brother of the preceding, married 1703, Bethia Fobes, daughter of Edward Fobes, had Constant, born 1703; Amos, 1705; Samuel, 1707; Bethia, 1710; Susanna, 1714; Ebenezer, 1716; Robert, 1718; Jane, 1720; and Benjamin, 1723, and died 1750.

TIMOTHY KEITH, Bridgewater, brother of the preceding, married 1710, Hannah Fobes, daughter of Edward Fobes, had Timothy, born 1711; Abiah, 1712; Nathan, 1714; and Hannah, 1718. His wife died 1765; and he died 1767, in 83d year says Mitchell, from whose work all of this family is taken. Four at Harvard and three at the other New England colleges had been graduates in 1829.

JAMES KELLEN, JAMES KILLIN, or JAMES KELLING, Charlestown, married 12 December 1679, Hannah Trarice, perhaps daughter of John Trarice, had James, born 10 May following, Samuel, 1 October 1682; and Margaret, 25 October 1684.

DANIEL KELLOGG, Norwalk 1655, by first wife who is unknown to us, had Mary, born 1663, who married 1680, Joseph Platt of Milford; and Rachel, February 1664, who married December 1684, Abraham Nichols; and he married 1665, Bridget Bouton, daughter of John Bouton, as second wife had Sarah, February 1666, who married not, as often said Daniel Brinsmead, but Caleb Nichols the second; Elizabeth, August 1668 (but I find confusion in Hall, 187), who died young; Daniel, 7 May 1671; Samuel, February 1674; Lydia, April 1676; Benjamin and Joseph, twins March 1678, of who Benjamin died before November 1703; was Representative 1670, and six of seven years after; and died 1688.

DANIEL KELLOGG, Norwalk, eldest son of the preceding, had Daniel, born 7 March 1691; John, about 1701; Benjamin, 1704; Joanna, 1706; and Eliasaph, July 1709; and the father died that year. Whether he had more than one wife or who was mother of his children I find not.

JOSEPH KELLOGG, Farmington, weaver, freeman 1654, had Elizabeth, born 3 March 1651; Joseph, 11 August 1653; Nathaniel, baptized 29 October 1654; who all died young; John, baptized 28, not as printed in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 126, making it Monday, 29 December 1656; and Martin; removed 1659 to Boston, had Edward, born 1 October 1660, but next year sold his property in Boston and went to Hadley; where his first wife Joanna died 14 September 1666, and he married 9 May following Abigail Terry, daughter of Stephen Terry. Besides these children he had Samuel, 28 September 1662; Joanna, 8 December 1664, who married 29 November 1683, John Smith of Hadley; and Sarah, 27 August 1666; all by first; and by second wife had Stephen, 9 April 1668; Nathaniel, 8 October 1669; Abigail, 9 October 1671; Elizabeth, October 1673; Prudence, 14 October 1675; Ebenezer, 22 November 1677; Jonathan, 25 December 1679; Daniel, 23 March 1682, died in 2 years; Joseph, 12 May 1684; Daniel, again, 10 June 1686 and Ephraim, 1687, died young. All the daughters were married. In the Falls fight he was a Lieutenant and commanded the men of Hadley. He died 1707, then having of the twenty, fourteen adult children. As they scattered so much, I give the places of residence of most of the eleven. Son John, who had ten children by two wives lived at Hadley; Martin was at Hatfield, and Deerfield; Edward had nine children born at Hadley, and then removed to Brookfield; Samuel, settled at Hartford, had nine children; Stephen, in Westfield, had eleven children; Nathaniel, at Hadley and Amherst, had eight or nine children; Ebenezer, and Jonathan settled at Colchester; Joseph, who had no children, and died 9 September 1724, was at Hatfield.

JOSEPH KELLOGG, called junior, was at Hadley in 1678, old enough to take oath of fidelity in February 1679.

JOSEPH KELLOGG, Norwalk, son of the first Daniel Kellogg, married 25 November 1702, Sarah Plum, daughter of John Plum of Milford, had Elizabeth, born 5 October 1703; Sarah, 5 April 1706; Joseph, 26 September 1707; Rachel, 15 July 1710; Hannah, 1 August 1712; and his wife died 17 August following, but the same page of Hall, in the next line, says he married Mary, widow of Andrew Lyon, on 17 August 1712, which must be a mistake for; 10 October, and this was less than eight weeks after death of first wife; and had David, 28 September 1715; and Benjamin, 26 September 1717; and died about 1721.

MARTIN KELLOGG, Hatfield, son of the first Joseph Kellogg, married 10 December 1684, Ann Insdale, daughter of Samuel Hinsdale, had Martin, born 26 October 1686; and Ann, 14 July 1689; by second wife Sarah Dickinson, daughter of the first John Dickinson of Hadley, widow of Samuel Lane, had Joseph, 8 November 1691; Joanna, 8 February 1693; Rebecca, 22 December 1695; and Jonathan, 17 December 1698. He, with children Martin, Joseph, Joanna, and Rebecca, were taken 29 February 1704, by the French and Indians when they destroyed Deerfield (where he had lived some years) and carried to Canada, and long kept prisoners but all came back, except Joanna, who married an Indian child and bore him children.

NATHANIEL KELLOGG, Farmington 1653, probably brother of Joseph Kellogg, had been one of the settlers at Hartford 1640, though not original proprietor, had wife Elizabeth, but no children, and died after short residence at Farmington. From his will of 4 June 1657, gives all his house and lands at Farmington to wife for life, and after to his brother John Kellogg and two married sisters all dwelling in Old England and ordered, that brother and sister shall pay cousin i. e. nephew Joseph’s three children £6. etc. My correspondence inferred as most soundly he might, “that the family had an English origin, rather than a Scotch one.” This would correct the suggestion in Genealogical Registrar XII. 199, repeated in XIV. 126. Even without inquiry as to first coming, we know that within the bounds of New England at the date of that will there could not be one Scottish family in two thousand. However, in the same Volume XIV. 377, a more reasonable tradition is offered that the family was from Isle of Wight.

NATHANIEL KELLOGG, Hadley, son of Joseph Kellogg of the same, married 28 June 1692, Sarah Boltwood, daughter of Samuel Boltwood, had Nathaniel, born 22 September 1693; Eleazer, 31 May 1695; Ezekiel, 15 April 1697; Samuel, 4 April 1699; Sarah, 12 March 1701; Abigail, 19 March 1703; Mary, 9 March 1706; Ephraim, 2 August 1709; and perhaps Experience; removed to Amherst, and died 30 October 1750.

SAMUEL KELLOGG, Hatfield, perhaps brother of first Joseph Kellogg, married 24 November 1664, Sarah Day, widow of Nathaniel Guno, daughter of Robert Day, had Samuel, born 1669; Nathaniel, 1671; Ebenezer, 1674; and Joseph, 1676, who was killed with his mother 19 September 1677 by the Indians who carried young Samuel off to Canada, whence he came back. He married 1679, Sarah Root of Westfield, had John, born 1680; and Thomas, 1681; who both died at Hatfied unmarried over 70 years of age; and Sarah, 1684. The elder sons Nathaniel and Ebenezer settled at Colchester, and perhaps, Samuel too.

SAMUEL KELLOGG, Hartford, son perhaps, of Joseph Kellogg the first, married 22 September 1687, Sarah Merrill, daughter of John Merrill, had Samuel, born 1688; Margaret, January 1690; Abraham, 1692; John, 16 December 1694; Isaac, January 1697; Jacob, 17 April 1699; Benjamin, 1 January 1702; Joseph, 13 April 1703; and Daniel, April 1706; was Deacon, and died 1717.

SAMUEL KELLOGG, Norwalk, son of the first Daniel Kellogg, married 6 September 1704, Sarah Platt, daughter of John Platt, had Sarah, born 26 September 1705; Samuel, 23 December 1706; Mary, 29 January or June 1709; Martin, 23 March 1711; Abigail, 19 January 1713; Lydia, 30 October 1715; Gideon, 5 December 1717; and Epenetus, 26 June 1719.

STEPHEN KELLOGG, Westfield, son of Joseph Kellogg of Hadley, by wife Lydia, had Lydia, born 24 January 1697; Moses, 26 October 1700, died young; Abigail, 27 December 1702; Daniel, 16 December 1704; Ephraim, 2 July 1707; Mercy, 30 October 1709; Noah, 13 February 1712; Silas, 7 April 1714; Amos, 13 September 1716; and died 5 June 1722. Twenty of this name had, in 1829, been graduates at the New England colleges. Large account of the descendants of Silas Kellogg, fifth son of Stephen Kellogg, before mentioned, who was the fifth son of Joseph Kellogg the first, may be seen in Genealogical Registrar XII. 202-6.

THOMAS KELLOND, Boston, merchant recently from England, had warrant, in May 1661, from our Governor Endicot, for pursuit that was fruitless of the regicides, Whalley and Goffe; married Abigail Hawkins, daughter of Captain Thomas Hawkins, widow of Samuel Moore, had Susanna, born 21 October 1665; John, 2 June 1667, died young; John, again, 13 February 1669, died young; Thomas, 18 July 1670, died young; Samuel, 11 September 1671; Elizabeth, 14 August 1673; Thomas, again, 29 August 1674; John, again, 15 June 1678; and Richard, 26 September 1681; died 12 July 1686, and his widow married third husband Honorable John Foster, who she outlived, 2 Massachusetts History Collection VIII. 68,105; Hutchinson 1. 243, 330; and Hutchinson Collection 334, where is the very curious document called their return.

THOMAS KELLOND, Boston, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 6 August 1687, died soon; Elizabeth again, 5 December 1689; Mary, 4 July 1697; and Thomas, 4 March 1699.

BENJAMIN KELLY, a freeman of Massachusetts 1669, I can assign to no town with confidence.

DAVID KELLY, Boston, by wife Elizabeth, had David, born 18 December 1647; and Samuel, 1653, and another Samuel, 9 October 1657. He died 1662, and his widow Elizabeth had administration of the children being referred to. She married 4 August 1663, Robert Smith.

DAVID KELLY, Portsmouth, and Newbury, mariner, was, probably son of the preceding.

HENRY KELLY, Lancaster, was freeman 1668, if the printer have not mistaken the name, that, perhaps, was intended for Kerley.

JOHN KELLY, Newbury, among the first settlers came, says Coffin, from Newbury in Berks, 1635, had Sarah, born 12 February 1641; and John, 2 July 1642, died 28 December 1644.

JOHN KELLY, Newbury, only son of the preceding, married 25 May 1663, Sarah Knight, daughter of Richard Knight, had Richard, born 28 February 1666; John, 17 June 1668; Sarah, 1 September 1670; Abiel, 12 December 1672; Rebecca, 15 May 1675; Mary, 24 May 1678; Jonathan, 20 March 1681; Joseph, 1 December 1683; and Hannah, 17 November 1686. He was freeman 1669, and died 21 March 1718. His son John by his second wife Elizabeth Emery, besides seven other children, had John, born 8 October 1697, lived at Atkinson, died 27 April 1783, who was father of Colonel Moses Kelly, who died 2 August 1824, aged 86, and of Reverend William Kelly, Harvard College 1767, first minister of Warner, and father of John Kelly, the assistant secretary of the New Hampshire Historical Society, and Registrar of, probably for Rockingham. A John Kelly was adminstered freeman of Connecticut 1658; but of his residence I learn not.

ROGER KELLY, Isle of Shoals 1668, married at Exeter, 29 September 1681, Mary Holdridge, daughter of William Holdridge of Salisbury, was Representative at the first General Court in Boston says Farmer, under the new charter 1692. Twelve of this name had, in 1829, been graduates at the New England colleges.

DANIEL KELSEY, son of William, went to Long Island where the family name has spread.

JOHN KELSEY, Hartford, son of William Kelsey, freeman 1668, married Phebe Disbrow, daughter of Nicholas Disbrow, removed to Killingworth; was Lieutenant 1709, leaving wife Hannah, children John, Joseph, Josiah, and three daughters, wives of Joseph Wilcoxson, Nathaniel Parmelee, and John Lane.

MARK KELSEY, Windsor, not brother of the preceding, married 8 March 1659, Rebecca Hoskins, had Rebecca, born 2 January following, and John, who died young. His wife died 28 August 1683, and within four months he took second wife Abigail Atwood, who died 28 March 1713.

STEPHEN KELSEY, Hartford, son of William Kelsey, married 15 November 1672, Hannah Ingersoll, eldest daughter of John Ingersoll, first of Westfield, not "Higginson of Wethersfield," as Hinman, page 151, says, and repeats, 261; had Hannah, born 1675; Stephen, 20 September 1677; John, 20 January 1680; Daniel, 14 September 1682; William, 19 February 1685; James, 21 August 1687; and Charles, 15 June 1692; and died 30 November 1710.

WILLIAM KELSEY, Cambridge 1632, freeman 4 March 1635, removed to Hartford, thence, about 1663, to Killingworth, but at Hartford the only children born were Abigail, in April 1645; Stephen, 7 November 1647; and Daniel, February 1650; but, no doubt, others were omitted in the record or were earlier born at Cambridge, was Representative in 1671, when the record is Callsey, but oft it is Kelse, Kelso, Kelsea, Kelsa, or Kelsy.

WILLIAM KELSEY, of Hartford, by wife Abigail, had Abigail, born 1694; Jonathan, 1696; Ruth, 1698; and he died that year.

EDWARD KEMPE, Dedham, freeman 13 March 1639, probably was of Wenham 1651, and after a blacksmith, and died 17 December 1668, at Chelmsford, to whhere he removed 1655. His will of 27 December preceding names only daughter Esther, wife of Samuel Foster, and her son Samuel Foster, and his own kinsman Samuel of Groton.

ROBERT KEMPE, Dedham 1639, administered with wife of the church that year, as was Esther on 6 March 1646

SAMUEL KEMPE, Billerica 1659, after probably at Andover, and at Groton, where the family widely extended, by wife Sarah, had Jonathan, born 6 April 1668; Mehitable, 4 January 1673; and Bethia, 9 July 1683.

WILLIAM KEMPE, Duxbury, is called in the custom house certificate from Southampton, April 1635, a servant, passenger in the James, arriving at Boston, 3 June following. But I presume there is intentional carelessness in the number of passengers and as Thomas Thacher is not named this man's name may be miscalled; had William; and died September 1641, leaving widow Elizabeth administrator.

WILLIAM KEMPE, Duxbury, son of the first William Kempe, married Patience Thacher, daughter of Reverend Thomas Thacher.

DANIEL KEMPSTER, Cambridge, freeman 1647. Abigail, perhaps his daughter, more probably his wife, died 22 October 1657. His will, of 27 September 1665, probated 2 1667, names no wife nor children.

DANIEL KEMPTHORNE, Cambridge, is in the list of creditors of James Astwood "for keeping his sons," 1653.

SIMON KEMPTHORNE, Charlestown, perhaps son of Daniel Kempthorne, married Mary Long, daughter of Robert Long, had Sarah, born 1656, who died 21 October 1671. Early in July 1656 he brought from Barbados, as master of the ship Swallow, two women, the first Quakers in this Colony for which he was blamed by the Court-of Assistance, and he died about 1657. His widow died 14 January 1675.

EPHRAIM KEMPTON, Scituate, perhaps brother of Manasseh, is included in the list of those able to bear arms, 1643, with Ephraim Kemton junior, but his name is erased because no doubt, he was too old or infirm, and he died about May 1645. We know not when he came, but it was after 1627, as may clearly be inferred, for he is not mentioned in the divison of cattle that year.

EPHRAIM KEMPTON, Scituate, probably son of the preceding, born in England, married 28 January 1646, Joanna Rawlins, daughter of Thomas Rawlins, had Joanna, born 29 September 1647; Patience, 2 October 1648, died soon; Ephraim, 1 October 1649; Manasseh, 1 January 1652; and died 1655. His widow died 31 March next year. Deane, 299, is deficient in dates.

EPHRAIM KEMPTON, Boston, gunsmith, probably son of the preceding, had removed before 1677 to Salem, but, perhaps, after having there, by wife Mary Reeves, daughter of John Reeves of Salkem, Ephraim, born 14 November 1674; Kempton (if we can believe Essex Institute II. 25) but I suppose his name was John, 1 February 1676; and Samuel, 4 March 1681; went to Plymouth late in life, and his son of the same name married 2 June 1702, Patience, daughter of famous Elder Faunce; and his widow is one of the instances, well authenticated (as very few are) of much exceeding 100 years of age. Her memory was accurate, if not happy, for she saw the head of Philip, the great Indians King, upon a pole at Plymouth, where it remained over 20 years from his fall, and said, that a wren used to make her nest in the skull, where she hatched her young every year.

MANASSEH KEMPTON, Plymouth, one of the "old comers," probably in the Ann, 1623, though the name in the division of lands is printed Faunce, standing next to John Faunce, but the infrequent baptized name encourages this conjecture, and in the division of cattle, 1627, he had share with Julian Bradford, his wife, sister of Governor Bradford, widow of George Morton; was Representative 1639, at the first assembly in the Colony and for nine years more; was one of the first purchasers with Governor Bradford of Dartmouth, and died 14 January 1663; and the record adds: "He did much good in his place, the time God lent him." His widow died 19 February 1665, in 81st year. See Russell's Guide to Plymouth, appendix XI.

RICHARD KENNET, Boston, died 1 April 1693. His widow Susanna had administration. I suppose he was an apothecary.

ALLEN KENNISTON, or ALLEN KINISTON, Salem 1638, or earlier, for Dorothy E. his wife is by Felt mentioned 1636, but in 1638 a grant of land was made to him, was freeman 18 May 1642, and died 1648; his will, made 10 November of that year was probated in the month following.

CHRISTOPHER KENNISTON, or CHRISTOPHER KINISTON, Portsmouth, married at Exeter, 4 December 1677, Mary Mushamore. Perhaps he was son of William Kenniston.

JOHN KENNY, or JOHN KENNEY, Salem, had Hannah, baptized 8 March 1657, who probably died young, as his will names only wife Sarah; and he died 1670, says Felt.

JOHN KENNY, or JOHN KENNEY, Salem, son of Henry Kenny, married 17 June 1675, Elizabeth Look, perhaps daughter of Thomas Look, had John, born 25 March following; and Elizabeth 6 February 1678; but by another wife perhaps, had John, 15 August 1689; and Samuel, 26 October 1691.

His son Isaac died 13 January 1676.

JOHN KENRICK, JOHN KENERICK, often JOHN KENDRICK, Boston 1639, administered 11 August of that year into the church, so that he had come, probably the former year if not earlier, and there is no slight reason to think he came with Mather in the James from Bristol, 1630; by wife Ann Smith, sister probably of Robert Smith, from London, had Hannah, baptized 9 February 1640, who died soon; John, 3 October 1641; Elijah, 21 January 1644, then six days old, died soon; Elijah, again, or Elisha, as the false record has it, 18, baptized 19 October 1645; and Hannah, again, 20 March 1652, who married 10 April 1674, Jonathan Metcalf.

His widow Judith died says Roxbury record 23 August 1687.

JOHN KENRICK, JOHN KENERICK, often JOHN KENDRICK, Ipswich, or Rowley, married 12 November 1657, Lydia Cheny.

He served as selectman nine years, was freeman 1690, died 30 September 1721; and his widow died 1723, in 70th year. He was ancestor of late John Kenrick Esq.

THOMAS KENRICK, THOMAS KENERICK, often THOMAS KENDRICK, Rehoboth, married 17 June 1681, Mary Perry, had Jehiel, born 23 March 1682; and Mary, 2 January 1684. Some descendants make the first syllable end with d

JOSEPH KENT, Dedham, brother of John Kent, as I guess from the equal bequests in the will of Elizabeth Hardier. See Genealogical Registrar XIII. 12.

JOSEPH KENT, Charlestown, son of John Kent, died 30 May 1753, in 79th year as the gravestone asserts, when he was probably under 78.

JOSHUA KENT, Dedham 1643, probably brother of first John Kent, administered of the church November 1644, went home, and came again, 1645, bringing two brothers, it is said, but, perhaps, only one; freeman 1646; by wife Mary, had Lydia, born 17, baptized 28 February 1647; went, with wife again to England that year, his reasons not well satisfying his friends in the church but came, again, in October 1648, probably disheartened by the convulsions of his native land; that year had Sarah, born 27 March baptized 7 April 1650; and Mary, baptized 14 December 1651.

RICHARD KENT, Ipswich 1634, came that year with another of the same church and surname, perhaps a couson, in the Mary and John, freeman 4 March 1635, removed with first settlers to Newbury 1635, left in England Sarah, and other daughters of who one, Rebecca, had married in England Samuel Scallard, and after his death she came, and, perhaps, brought daughter Mary, who married 4 December 1666, John Rolfe; and the mother married October 1647, John Bishop; but here, says Coffin, he had John, born 20 July 1645; and he died 11 June 1654.

RICHARD KENT, Newbury 1635, came the year before in the Mary and John, brother of James Kent, had wife Jane, who died 26 June 1674, and he married 6 January 1675, Joanna, widow of Nicholas Davison of Charlestown, and died 25 November 1689, without children, but gave his estate to his nephew John.

SAMUEL KENT, Gloucester, perhaps son of Thomas Kent of the same, born probably in England, by wife Frances Woodall, as Babson gives the name, married 17 January 1655, had Sarah, born 14 August 1657; Mary, 19 December 1658; Samuel, 26 October 1661; and John, 28 April 1664; was probably of Brookfield 1673-5, Suffield 1678, and back again to Gloucester, freeman 1681; but the same year of Suffield then part of Springfield, there his wife died 10 August 1683, and he died 2 February 1691.

SAMUEL KENT, Suffield, son of the preceding, married 1 November 1683, Priscilla Hunter, daughter of William Hunter, had Samuel, born 8 December 1685; Thomas, 3 April 1688; John, 24 August 1690, died young; and Josiah, 1692; he married 1696, second wife Martha, had Martha, who died soon; as did her mother, and he married 1700, third wife widow Esther Phelps, had Martha, 1703; Daniel and Mary, twins 1704; besides two, Benjamin, and Priscilla, of whose dates we hear not. He died 1740, in his will of 1737 names the five surviving sons and three daughters.

STEPHEN KENT, Newbury, brother of the first Richard Kent, came, says Coffin, 1635; but if so, he went home, and came again 1638, in the Confidence from Southampton, with wife Margery, and four or five servants. In his case is observation how readily the officers of the custom-house acquiesced in false statements to avoid the arbitrary orders of the Lords of Traae and plantation for his age is marking 17, that of his wife 16, and George March, servant 16; besides Hugh March, 20; Anthony Sadler, 9; Nicholas Wallington, a poor boy, without any years; and Rebecca Kent, 16, called servant perhaps to increase the delusion. He was older, probably for he was sworn a freeman 22 May 1639; had Elizabeth, born 1 March 1642, died at 11 years; Hannah, 20 March 1644; Stephen, 6 March 1648; Rebecca, 3 August 1650; David, 26 May 1657; and Mary. He had three wives Ann, the second died 3 May 1660; and he married 9 May 1662, Eleanor, widow of William Scadlock of Saco; and removed to Haverhill, thence to Woodbridge, New Jersey. Hannah married 19 September 1669, Isaac Toppan, and died 10 December 1688; Rebecca married 12 August 1667, John Farnham the first of Andover.

THOMAS KENT, Gloucester 1643, died 1 April 1658; and his widow died 6 or 16 October 1671.

THOMAS KENT, Gloucester, perhaps son of the preceding, married 28 March 1659, Joan Penny, daughter of Thomas Penny, had Thomas, born 31 March 1660; Mary, 22 January 1662; Mercy and Joan, twins 24 February 1665, died both in 6 days; Joan, again, 5 August 1666; and John, 2 January 1677; was of Brookfield 1671, freeman 1690.

WILLIAM KENT, Boston 1662, married Mary, widow of John Mears; of Artillery Company 1667, its Ensign 1673, died 9 July 1691. Seven of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard and nine at other New England colleges.

EDMUND KERLEY, EDMUND CARSLEY, or EDMUND CARLSLY, of Ashmore, County Dorset, near Shaftsbury, husbandman, embarked in the Confidence, 24 April 1638 aged 22, at Southampton; but we know no more of him.

HENRY KERLEY, HENRY CARSLEY, or HENRY CARLSLY, Lancaster, son of William Kerley, born about 1632, brought probably by his father to Hingham, married 2 November 1654, Elizabeth White, daughter of John White, had Henry, born 1658; William, 1659; Joseph, 1669; and probably other children; freeman 1668; but in 1676, after his wife (a sister of famous Mary Rowlandson, the wife of the minister) with the two last named children, were killed by the Indians 10 February at the assault (in which Mrs. Rowlandson as she has related, was taken) he married 18 April 1676, Elizabeth How at Charlestown, went to Marlborough, and there spent the rest of his days, was a Captain, and his deposition against Andros, 27 December 1689, with Thomas How, is given in Revolution in New England. Justif. 35. See Willard's History of Lancaster, 27, 8, and 38.

WILLIAM KERLEY, WILLIAM CARSLEY, or WILLIAM CARLSLY, Hingham 1637, of Sudbury about 1641, removed to Lancaster, freeman 1647; in his old age married second wife 16 May 1664, Rebecca, widow of Thomas Josselyn, and died 14 July 1670, leaving William, and Henry, before mentioned. His will of 26 July 1669 adds nothing to our acquaintance with his family.

WILLIAM KERLEY, WILLIAM CARSLEY, or WILLIAM CARLSLY, Sudbury, eldest son probably of the preceding, by which he was, perhaps, left in England, came in the Confidence from Southampton 1638, called of Ashmore, with Edmund, before mentioned, who may have been uncle or brother removed to Marlborough, freeman 1666; by wife Jane, had Mary, born at Sudbury 4 May 1667; Sarah, 23 January 1669; and Hannah, 8 January 1671; was an Ensign, died at Marlborough, 4 January 1684. I suppose the name is misprinted Kerby in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 241.

EDWARD KETCHAM, Ipswich 1635, freeman 9 March 1637, may reasonably be thought progenitor of all of the name in our country, and therefore I regret the more that we are ignorant of the circumstances of his migration and subsequent residence. By conjecture it seems to me, that

EDWARD KETCHAM of Stratford, who died before 1678, was his son whose daughter Rebecca married 14 February 1678, Thomas Taylor of Norwalk. An Edward Ketcham married Mary Harcutt, daughter of Richard Harcutt, but probably he was of Long Island, yet may have been the Stratford man, who in his will of June 1655 names three daughters Mary, Hannah, and Esther.

JOHN KETCHAM, Ipswich 1648, probably son of Edward, removed to that part of Long Island, called Setauket, now Brookhaven, constable, stood up for the jurisdiction of Connecticut, was honored 1662, with a commission to make his neighbor swear, and Representative 1664. In 1668 he removed to Newtown, there was a man of influence to his death 1697. Riker, 89.

JOSEPH KETCHAM, Norwalk 1672, possibly son of the preceding, or grandson of Edward Ketcham, married 3 April 1679, Mercy Lindall, daughter of Deacon Henry Lindall of New Haven, had Nathaniel, born 23 January 1680; and Sarah, 19 February 1672; was in town service 1701.

SAMUEL KETCHAM, Newtown, Long Island, 1655, probably brother of John Ketcham, was of Setauket, freeman of Connecticut 1664, and with Edward Ketcham, who may, also, have been brother at Huntington, 1672.

JAMES KETTLE, Salem, son of the first John Kettle, by wife Elizabeth, had John and Nathaniel, twins born 9 December 1689, of who John, probably died soon; James, 27 December 1691; Elizabeth, 19 January 1694; and John, again, 3 July 1696;

JOHN KETTLE, Gloucester, was in 1641, then a minor, charged for breach of Sabbath etc.; by wife Elizabeth Allen, daughter of the first William Allen of Salem, had John, born 1654; William, 1656; Elizabeth, born 15 February 1658; Mary, 5 March 1660; Samuel, 2 April 1662; and James, 20 March 1665. He removed and died at Salem 12 October 1685, probably from him is derived the name Kettle Cove at the adjoining town of Manchester.

JOHN KETTLE, Charlestown, eldest son of Richard Kettle of the same, was, perhaps, of Portsmouth 1663. He married first, Sarah Goodenow, daughter of Edmund Goodenow, had John (who married 11 September 1688, Abigail Austin, daughter of Richard Austin, and died at Charlestown 17 March 1691, aged 30); Sarah, born in Sudbury, 8 March 1663; and Joseph. He had a second wife Mr. Wyman says, Elizabeth Ward, daughter of Samuel Ward the second, who was carried away from Lancaster in 1676, says Frothingham, 82; and by her had only Jonathan, born at Lancaster 24 November 1670.

JONATHAN KETTLE, Charlestown 1677, youngest brother of the preceding, married 30 March 1676, Abigail Convers, daughter of James Convers, who died 25 January 1691, aged 33, had Jonathan, born 1677, who died soon, and he died 18 December 1720. His other children Ann, born 1679; Jonathan. 1681; and Abigail, 1684, were baptized 29 March 1685, when he joined to the church; and he had after James, 1686; and David, 1689, died the same year.

JOSEPH KETTLE, Charlestown, elder brother of the preceding, freeman 1670, married 5 July 1665, Hannah Frothingham, daughter of William Frothingham, had Hannah, who died 26 June 1666; Hannah, again, died 5 September 1669; Richard, baptized 1 May 1670; Esther, 29 January 1671, died 25 May 1678; Hannah, 27 October 1672, died young; Joseph, 31 January 1675; Elizabeth, 18 March 1677, Esther, again, 13 February 1679; William, 6 February 1681; Mary, 25 March 1683; Benjamin, 7 September 1684; Rebecca, 7 January 1687; and Hannah, again, 7 July 1689. His son Richard died 7 December 1690; and his wife died 15 September 1693; he was chosen Deacon 1695; married for second wife Dorothy, widow of Thomas Hett, who died 11 December 1710, in her 60th year, and he died 5 April 1711.

NATHANIEL KETTLE, Charlestown, brother of the preceding, by first wife Hannah, married 13 June 1669, who died 19 November 1670, had only Nathaniel; married 30 October 1672, Hannah Eidder, daughter of James Eidder, both united with the church 22 March 1686, and on 29 of same had baptized Nathaniel, James, Samuel, Hannah, and Sarah; Rebecca, 30 January 1687; Rachel, born 10, baptized 14 April 1689; Union, 15 March 1691; and Richard, 10 December 1693. He had three others, who died before baptism, was one of the constables, 1690, and died 1723.

PETER KETTLE, came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 10, from London; but who can tell, whether he grew to manhood, where he lived, who he married or when he died. ?

RICHARD KETTLE, Charlestown 1633, butcher, freeman 4 March 1635, by wife Esther Ward, daughter of Samuel Ward, had Hannah, baptized 29 October 1637, married 21 January 1657, John Call; John, born 6, baptized 8 December 1639; Joseph, 15, baptized 21 February 1641; Samuel, 19 November 1642; Nathaniel, 11 October 1644; Jonathan, 1646. Perhaps we may doubt the church record of Budington, 247, of the date, 25 July 1633, gives the adminstration of "Richard Kettle and Esther his wife" as a modern interpolation in its latter clause, because the Boston church record of 26 January 1634 has this entry, "Esther Ward, our brother Atherton Hough's maid servant" for evidence of her administration and the dismissal on 17 July 1642 reads, "Our sister Esther Ward, now wife to Richard Kettle of Charlestown hath letter of recommendation granted unto her to the church at Charlestown". Possibly he had two wives named Esther, but it is less probable than that the Charlestown church record was enriched with a postlimited additions. It must always be remembered that we have not original church record of early years in either Boston or Charlestown church, but only copies made probably between 1650 and 1670, of both. He was usually called Sergeant, and died 28 June 1681, aged 71. Esther, his wife died 2 or 5 July 1679.

ROBERT KETTLE, Gloucester 1653, perhaps brother of John, who was three years older.

SAMUEL KETTLE, Charlestown, son of Richard Kettle, married 11 July 1665, Mercy Hayden, daughter of James Hayden, who died 19 October 1692, aged 45; and he married 3 May 1694, Mary Hett, widow of Nathaniel Frothingham, daughter of Thomas Hett; and by the first had Mary, baptized 1 May 1670, though born 8 October 1666; and Mercy, 18 May 1679; freeman 1670, was one of the tythingmen 1680, died 20 December 1694. His widow died 5 June 1710, aged 62 years

JOHN KEY, Dover, had James, taken about 1690 by the Indians and soon killed. Magnalia VII. 69. But he and another John, called junior, perhaps his son, were prisoned from Piscataqua, at Quebec, 1695.

PETER KEYES, Sudbury, perhaps son of Robert Keyes, by wife Elizabeth, had, probably John, born 1664, who was one of the fanned of the church at Shrewsbury; and, perhaps others, before or after Esther, 12 February 1668.

ROBERT KEYES, Watertown 1633, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 26 May 1633; Rebecca, 17 March 1638; Mary, 17 June 1639, died soon; Mary, again, February 1642, died soon; Elias, 20 May 1643, before mentioned, removed to Newbury, there had Mary, again, 16 June 1645, may have returned to Watertown, perhaps had Peter, and others; and he died 16 July 1647. His widow married November 1658, John Gage; Mary married 16 February 1664, Benjamin Cady of Andover.

SOLOMON KEYES, Newbury, married 2 October 1653, Frances Grant, had Hannah, born 12 September 1654; Sarah, 24 August 1656; Mary, 26 September 1658; Jane, 20 October 1650; and Judith, 16 September 1662; removed to Chelmsford, there he had Solomon, baptized 25 June 1665; and was tythingman 1679. His daughter Jane married 17 May 1680, Samuel Cleveland. His grandson Solomon was distinguished by personal courage, as is seen at Lovewell's fight, in Hoyt's Antiq. Researches, 218, 274; and he was killed 8 September 1755, when the French and Indians under Baron Dieskau were defeated. Five of this name had, in 1826, been graduates at Dartmouth. Sometimes it was writen as sounding Kies.

JOHN KEYSAN, or JOHN KEZAN, Haverhill, married Hannah Davis, daughter of John Davis of Dover, but date, or other particular is unknown.

ELIZUR KEYSER, ELIZUR KEAZER, or ELIZUR KEASUR, Lynn, son of George Keyser, married 9 December 1679, Mary Collins, had Sarah, born 6 December 1686.

GEORGE KEYSER, GEORGE KEAZER, or GEORGE KEASUR, Lynn, a tanner, freeman 14 March 1639, removed to Salem, married Elizabeth Holyoke, daughter of Edward Holyoke, had Elizur; George, born May 1657; and Edward, 20 June 1659. His wife died 24 June 1659, and the last child following in November after; and he died 1676, or by another account September 1690, aged 73. Elizur followed the same trade.

JOHN KEYSER, JOHN KEAZER, or JOHN KEASUR, Haverhill 1682, a tanner, son of George Keyser, took oath of fidelity 28 November 1677, had sons John,George, and Timothy.

THOMAS KEYSER, THOMAS KEAZER, or THOMAS KEASUR, Lynn 1638, perhaps brother of George Keyser, by wife Mary, had Rebecca, born November 1640; and Thomas, both baptized 15 June 1645, in her own right, when the girl is called about 4 years and 7 months and the boy 2 years and 5 weeks; Timothy, baptized 15 February 1646, about 5 days old, at Boston, where he was merchant and shipmaster, acted that year in both capacities on the detestable voyage to Africa for stealing natives. See Winthrop II. 243, 379.

ARTHUR KIRBY, ARTHUR KIRBE, or ARTHUR KIRBEE, Salem, fisherman, or mariner, by wife Abigail Ager, daughter of William Ager of the same, had Abigail, born 4 January 1659; Arthur, 6 January 1661; William, who died 14 September 1661; and, perhaps, twins Mary; though she is not on town record yet the record of church has "Mary, William, Abigail, who died 3 October 1662, and Arthur Kippins, child of Abigail Kippins, baptized 13 April 1662;" but, perhaps, the name of this last child may be on the town record Elizabeth. Other children were Elizabeth, 12 May 1662, Joseph, also on both records the town for births marking 23 February but not the year and the church for baptisms given 23 May 1666; and the same has Hannah, 23 August 1668, while that of the town has among born Hannah, 28 June 1669; Sarah, 31 May 1670; and Jerusha, 19 April 1672. Errors are easily found in records of the elder days; but it is not necessary in this case to charge wrong on either town or church. He probably died early in 1685, for his inventory is of 29 June.

EDWARD KIRBY, EDWARD KIRBE, or EDWARD KIRBEE, Boston 1645, a sawyer, lived at Muddy River had Reuben, baptized 30 June 1653; and Elizabeth, born 27 January baptized 4 March 1655, both at Roxbury, in right of their mother Mary, a sister of the church at Boston which she joined 29 November 1645, says the record and had baptized on 30th James, about 32 years old, and Elisha, about 10 months 10 days. Morse adds to these four more, as, probably Joshua; Rebecca, 1 May 1657; Edward; and, perhaps, Hannah. His widow Grizzle had administration 15 August 1661. One Rachel Kirby died at Dorchester 16 July 1657.

ELISHA KIRBY, ELISHA KIRBE, or ELISHA KIRBEE, Salem, married 12 December 1667, Rachel Cook, had John, born 1 February 1668; Edward, 2 February 1670; Elisha, 28 March 1673, died young; and James, 27 December 1675; removed to Enfield 1682, then part of Springfield, had Isaac, the first male child in East, born 21 March 1683; and Rachel, 17 April 1688; and he may have had others before he died 3 April 1735, and tradition with its aptness to exaggerate made him 97; but, in 1693, he calls himself about "48 years". Perhaps he was son of the preceding or of the following.

HENRY KIRBY, HENRY KIRBE, or HENRY KIRBEE, Dorchester, tailor, freeman 18 May 1642, Artillery Company 1644, died 10 July or August 1661.

JAMES KIDD, Dover 1657, took oath of fidelity 30 November 1677; was of Exeter 1688.

EDWARD KIDDER, by Eaton called one of the first settlers of Reading, but I know no more, unless, as is probable he were the man (as Eaton is liberal in counting first) who bound himself at Wrexham, in County Denbigh, 28 July 1675 to serve four years in Boston, Theophilus Yale of Chester, in England as a shoemaker.

EPHRAIM KIDDER, Billerica, son of James Kidder the first, married 1 August 1685, Rachel Crosby, eldest daughter of Simon Crosby, had Joseph; Ephraim, born 26 April 1688; and Rachel, 1 April 1691; Alice, 8 February 1693; Hannah and Dorothy, twins born at Medford 2 September 1696; Thomas, 3 August 1700; Benjamin, 3 August 1702; and Richard, 10 May 1705; his wife died 14 September 1721; and he died 25 September 1724.

Descendants, it is commonly said, may be found in every state of this Union. Dorothy married 6 June 1673, the second Jonathan Hyde; and Sarah married 30 January 1690, George Brown.

His wife died 17 September 1722, and he died 5 July 1748.

He died before 25 December 1640, when mentioned of the lands of Frances the widow Is found. She died November 1650. Margaret married Richard Law, the grandfather of Governor Law; Lydia married Robert Hayward or Howard of Windsor; Mary married John Root; and Frances married Thomas Uffoot; and the three first named had children, but the last none. To the diligent fondness of Payne Kenyon Kilbourn of Litchfield, Esq. in 1847, were we indebted for a copious memorial of predecessors and descendants in 140 pages, which is multiplied threefold in 1856.

THOMAS KILBOURN, or THOMAS KILBORNE, who came in the Elizabeth, from Ipswich, 1634, aged 24, with wife Elizabeth, 20, was eldest son of the preceding, baptized 30 November 1609, sent by the father in advance to make preparations for the family migration, but no more is known of him, so that it is not improble that soon after his father arrived he went home.

WILLIAM KILCUP, Boston 1649, in few years was of Charlestown with wife Grace, and called a sieve-maker; may have had daughter Sarah married to Richard Wilson before August 1654, though in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 277, a different conjecture is given.

He had James, and probably other children.

ROBERT KILTON, is on the list of Gallop's Company in Phips's crusade against Quebec 1690, but of what town he was inhabitant or of any thing else about him, we are ignorant yet.

His widow married again, and died 19 August 1684. Elizabeth married Captain Thomas Straight, and Susanna married John Randall, both of Watertown.

HENRY KIMBALL, sometimes HENRY KEMBALL, Ipswich 1640, eldest son of Richard Kimball the first, perhaps settled first at Watertown, and from Ipswich removed and may have been the blacksmith of Boston, 1657, who had wife Mary, that outlived him, and had administration of his estate January 1676; and son Timothy finished the settlement of estate after death of his mother. He was a man of large business.

HENRY KIMBALL, sometimes HENRY KEMBALL, Charlestown, married 13 November 1656, Sarah, that I presume to be daughter of John Fownell, who died 10 August following. He married second wife Mary, daughter of Thomas Brigden, had Zechary, Mary, Sarah, and Henry.

JOHN KIMBALL, sometimes JOHN KEMBALL, Watertown, probably son of Henry Kimball of the same, married 19 January 1668, Hannah Bartlett, daughter of Thomas Bartlett, had Hannah, born 11 July 1671, died young; Susanna, 18 July 1670; John, 3 August 1678; and Hannah, again, 8 June 1681; was freeman 1690, was a cooper, and died 7 June 1714; and his widow died 22 November 1715.

JOHN KIMBALL, sometimes JOHN KEMBALL, Amesbury, took oath of fidelity 20 December 1677, and was made freeman 1690.

RICHARD KIMBALL, sometimes RICHARD KEMBALL, Watertown, probably brother of Henry Kimball of the same, came from Ipswich, Old England 1634, aged 39, in the Elizabeth, with wife Ursula; children Henry, 15; Richard, 11; Mary, 9; Martha, 5; John, 3; and Thomas, 1; and servant John Laverick, 15; was freeman 6 May 1635; removed 1638 to Ipswich, there had more children, and died 1675, leaving Henry, Richard, Mary, Thomas, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Caleb, Sarah, and another daughter wife of John Severns. He is called by Thomas Scott (a passenger with wife and family in the same ship) brother and this may means, that one married a sister of the other, or they married sister but in this case not, I judge, the mere church relationship. See Scott. It is said, that two of his sons Thomas and William, were killed by the Indians in 1675; but I suppose Caleb was one. A William Kimball of Captain Oliver's Company was wounded 19 December 1675, in the great battle of Narraganset, but he was of Boston, and served as substitute for his master, John Clear. An Elizabeth Kimball, aged 13, was passenger in the same ship with Henry and Richard; but on the custom-house list is not inserted as child of either, but under the care of Thomas Reyner.

RICHARD KIMBALL, sometimes RICHARD KEMBALL, Bradford, son of Richard Kimball, born in England, long lived in Ipswich, but was of Bradford when freeman 1685.

SAMUEL KIMBALL, sometimes SAMUEL KEMBALL, Boston, mariner, perhaps eldest son of Thomas Kimball of the same, may have been a soldier in Moseley's Company in December 1675, and died 1684, on return voyage and his father took administration.

THOMAS KIMBALL, sometimes THOMAS KEMBALL, Charlestown 1653, merchant, by wife Elizabeth Trarice, perhaps eldest daughter of Nicholas Trarice, had John, born 1 July 1656, removed to Boston, and had Sarah, 19 April 1666; Rebecca, 12 July 1668; Henry, 14 March 1670, and Elizabeth, 8 September 1671. He was buried on Copp's hill, died 29 January 1689, was born 15 January 1622. Sarah married Richard Knight of Boston, and attained no little celebration as skilled in trade and observant of manners. See Knight.

THOMAS KIMBALL, sometimes THOMAS KEMBALL, Ipswich, son of Richard Kimball, an early settler of that part of Rowley, that after was called Bradford, had eight children of which the eldest was Richard. He was killed by the Indians 3 May 1676, when his wife Mary and five children Joanna, Thomas, Joseph, Priscilla, and John, were taken prisoners, carried about forty miles into the wilderness, and allowed to come home 13 June following. His estate was good.

THOMAS KIMBALL, sometimes THOMAS KEMBALL, Dover 1660. This name is spelled often Kemble. Ten had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard and twenty two at other colleges in New England.

ABRAHAM KIMBERLY, New Haven, son of Thomas Kimberly, by wife Hannah, who was baptized on administration of the church probably 24, certainly not (as the record in Genealogical Registrar IX. 360, says) 25 July 1659, which was Monday, had Hannah, born 11 January 1656; Sarah, baptized July 1659, died young; Mary, born 1668; Sarah, 1672; Abraham, 1675; and family tradition says, went to South Carolina, and there was killed by the Indians. These children were all born in Albemarle County of Carolina. His widow came home, and married John Curtis of Stratford, and there she had put on record the births of each of the children. Mary married John Blakeman, and Sarah married Benjamin Hurd. With this family Goodwin was quite bewildered.

ELEAZER KIMBERLY, Glastonbury, son of Thomas Kimberly, said to be the first male born in New Haven, was in 1661 school master at Wethersfield, and continued in that employment at intervals till 1689; was freeman 1667, and in 1696 succeeded Colonel John Allyn, as Secretary of the Colony, and so continued to his death February 1709. He left son Thomas, and four daughters referred to in his will, two married, and two, Elizabeth and Ruth, unmarried.

NATHANIEL KIMBERLY, New Haven, son of Thomas Kimberley, had Nathaniel, born 4 January 1667; Elizabeth, and two other daughters April 1679, one without name, the other, Sarah.

THOMAS KIMBERLY, Dorchester 1635, had wife Alice, with whom he removed to New Haven 1639; his estate was then small. His wife by who he had Eleazer, baptized 17 November 1639; and Abiah, 19 December 1641; besides five or six others, died 1659, at New Haven; he married another wife Mary, widow of William Preston, and removed to Stratford, there died 1673; in his will of 11 January of that year he names his sons Thomas, Abraham, Nathaniel, and Eleazer, wife Margaret and several daughters. Of these Hannah was born so late as 1656; Abiah married a Boardman, and she and three children are referred to in his will; and Mary married Nathaniel Hayes, probably and her 3 children Nathaniel, Elizabeth and Mary, are named in it.

THOMAS KIMBERLY was freeman 1669, had wife Hannah, and with Nathaniel, proprietor at New Haven 1685; but he had no children, and it is said Nathaniel left son of the same name. Great variations in spelling of this name occurs both at Dorchester and New Haven;

KINNERSLY, KIMERLY, KEMMERLY, and even with C for first letter are found. At New Haven the family is perpetuated with repute, and four had been graduates at Yale in 1829.

GEORGE KIMWRIGHT, Dorchester, married about 1653, the wealthy widow of John Holland, removed to Cambridge, about 1664; but I doubt the spelling of the surname.

ARTHUR KIND, Boston, by wife Jane, had Sarah, born November 1646; James, who died 9 July 1654; Mary, who died 27 October 1655; James, again, 29 October 1655; Nathaniel, May 1658; Thomas, 26 September 1659; Mary, 27 April 1662; and William, 26 February 1665. This name is perverted to Knide in Genealogical Registrar XV. 134.

BENJAMIN KING, Northampton, son of John King of the same, married 16 May 1700, Mary James, daughter of Abel James, had Elisha, born 11 November 1717, the only child, and he died 20 January following. His widow married 1721, Jonathan Graves.

CLEMENT KING, Marshfield, by Miss Thomas, in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 192, is favored with wife Susanna, who died or was buried 19 June 1669; but whose son or whose daughter when born or married is not to be easily known. A later report, in the same volume 229, makes the daughter of wife occuring thirty years after.

DANIEL KING, Lynn 1647, a merchant, born about 1601, died 28 May 1672. His will of 7 February preceding probated 26 June following, names wife and children Daniel, Hannah, wife of John Blaney, Elizabeth Redding, and Sarah, wife of Ezekiel Needham. His widow Elizabeth who had been widow Corwin, says Lewis, died 26 February 1677 or 8. His estate was very good.

DANIEL KING, Charlestown 1658, son probably of the preceding was, perhaps, of Salem 1676, but intermediate at Lynn, married 11 March 1663, Tabitha Walker, had Richard born 1 March 1668; Tabitha, 6 January 1670; John; Sarah, 11 April 1672; Elizabeth, 19 March 1674. John has a date, given by Felt, but as it is inconsistant with the one that precedes him, it is marked here as the other may be erronous.

DAVID KING, Westfield, brother of Benjamin King, by wife Abigail, had David, born 1702; Thankful, 1704; Moses, 1706; Stephen, 1708; Benjamin, 1710; Aaron, 1714; Asahel and Eldad, twins 1718, of who the first named died soon; and Gideon, 1722; removed to a new plantation now Sheffield, and died 1710. In his will he named all the children except Asahel.

EDWARD KING, Windsor, an Irish servant, had grant of land 1663, lived on Long Island when he died 1702; had two daughters named Mary Hilliard and Sarah Cady, required administration on his estate. Their husband's names are not found. Perhaps there were other children.

FEARNOT KING, Westfield, son probably of John King of Weymouth, married 14 May 1677, Mary Fowler, daughter of Ambrose Fowler, had Mary, born 7 March 1678; Elizabeth, 12 May 1680; Abigail, 15 February 1683; Experience, 1 May 1684, died in 10 days; Deborah, 3 March 1686; Ebenezer, 3 September 1687; and John, 30 September 1690; and died 1 February 1703.

GEORGE KING, freeman of Massachusetts 18 April 1637, came in the Hercules, 1634, and by Farmer is set down as Newbury, but he must soon have removed for Coffin names him not.

HENRY KING, came in the James from Southampton, 1635, is called a laborer, but I hear no more of him.

HEZEKIAH KING, Weymouth, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 10 October 1679; and Samuel, 20 April 1686; and probably others.

ISAAC KING, Weymouth, a soldier in Captain Johnson's Company in the great Narraganset fight, 19 December 1675, when he was wounded, probably he is called Hezekiah in that list of Genealogical Registrar VIII. 242.

JAMES KING, Suffield, died 1722, leaving James, born before he went thither; William, 1679, died next year; Annis, 1681; Benoni, 1685, died next year; Joseph, 1687, died soon; and Mary, 1692. His wife was Elizabeth.

JOHN KING, Northampton, is by Hinman said to have come at the age of 16 in 1645, lived at Hartford, and 5 years after married Sarah Holton, daughter of John Holton; but part of this is erronous, for he married 18 November 1656, Sarah Holton, daughter of William Holton, who of course, was sister, not daughter of John Holton; had John, born July 1657; William, 28 March 1660; Thomas, 14 July 1662 ; Samuel, 6 January 1665; Eleazer, 26 March 1667, who died at 32 years unmarried; Joseph, 23 March 1669, died next year; Sarah, 3 May 1671; Joseph, again, 8 May 1673; Benjamin, 1 March 1675; Thankful, September 1679; David, 1677, or 1681; and Jonathan, 25 April 1683; and his wife died 8 May following; was Representative 1679 and 89; married second wife Sarah Whiting, widow of Jacob Mygatt, daughter of William Whiting, was a Captain, and died 3 December 1703. Sarah married 22 December 1692, Ebenezer Pomeroy; and Thankful married 1704, Samuel Clapp.

JOHN KING, Weymouth, by wife Esther, had Fearnot, born 29 June 1655; John, 12 April 1659, died soon; John, again, 25 December 1661; Esther, 28 September 1664; and Patience, 4 October 1668. Perhaps he was son born in England of an elder.

JOHN KING of the same, who had Mary, born 15 June 1639; and Abigail, 14 March 1641, whose second or third wife made her will, 14 June 1652, in which her son Joseph Barker, and daughter Sarah Hunt are referred to; and this younger John may be the officer in the Indians war, 1691, mentioned by Niles in his History 3 Massachusetts History Collection VI. 227.

JOHN KING, Salem, son perhaps of William King of the same, married September 1660, Elizabeth Goldthwait, daughter of Thomas Goldthwait of the same, had John, born October 1662; Samuel, May 1664; William, June 1669; Elizabeth, February 1672; Jonathan, 1675; Thomas, 1678, died at 2 years; Hannah, 15 April 1681; and Mary, 28 March 1687. Probably he had second wife Ann, daughter of that widow Dorcas Hoar, who was long imprisoned and sentenced to death for witchcraft, but he and his wife obtained reprieve.

JOHN KING, Northampton, eldest son of John King of the same, freeman 1690, married 4 November 1686, Mehitable Pomeroy, daughter of Medad Pomeroy, had Mehitable, born 13 March 1690; Experience, 17 April 1693; Medad, 26 March 1699; Catharine, 17 August 1701; John, 1 April 1704; twin children 1 June 1706, both died soon; andThankful, 18 February 1709, died in few days. He died 20 March 1720; and his widow died 8 November 1755, in her 90th year.

JOSEPH KING, Northampton, brother of the preceding, married 3 June 1696, Mindwell Pomeroy, daughter of Medad Pomeroy, had Sarah, born 10 March 1697; Esther, 1 January 1700, died young, Eunice, 12 March 1703; Mindwell, 15 March 1705; Phineas, 27 September 1707; Joseph, 24 November 1709; Thankful, 9 February 1712; and Simeon, 28 October 1714; he married second wife 30 August 1733, Mindwell Porter, and died 3 December 1734.

JONATHAN KING, Northampton, youngest brother of the preceding, married 3 April 1711, Mary French, perhaps daughter of Thomas French of Deerfield, had Jonathan, born 25 January 1712; Abigail, 1 December 1713; Charles, 3 July 1716; Mary, 31 May 1718; Beriah, 2 October 1721, died April following; Seth, 18 April 1723; Oliver, 20 April 1726, who died at Louisbourg, soon after its conquest 1745; removed to Bolton, and had Gideon, 24 August 1729. See Hinman, 280. His wife died 24 March 1758, aged 71, and he died 10 June 1774.

JOSEPH KING, one of the flower of Essex, killed with his Captain and great part of his Company at Bloody Brook, may have been brother of John King.

MARK KING, Charlestown 1658, by wife Mary, administered of the church 20 November 1659, had Mark; besides Mary, born 28 March preceding both baptized 27 November of that year; two children baptized 6 May 1660, whose names are not found; Hannah, 18 December 1664, died soon; Hannah, again, 4 March 1666; and Samuel, 19 November 1671.

PETER KING, Sudbury 1654, Deacon, and Representative 1689 and 90, died 27 August 1704. Probably he had children of which one may have been Peter, another Richard, and was freeman 1690.

RALPH King, Lynn 1648, married 2 March 1664, Elizabeth Walker, had Ralph, born 13 August 1667; Daniel, 10 October 1669; Sarah, 25 November 1671; Richard, 3 May 1677; and Mary, 28 July 1679 ; freeman 1680, was Captain, and died 1689.

RICHARD KING, probably of Salem, had daughter, and his widow married Richard Bishop of Salem, to whom in her right was granted administration of estate of King as early as 1635. Felt.

ROBERT KING, came in the Confidence from Southampton, 1638, aged 24, a servant, but we know no more.

SAMUEL KING, Plymouth 1643, had Samuel, born 29 August 1649; and Isaac, 24 October 1651.

SAMUEL KING, Weymouth, by wife Experience, had Susanna, born 6 May 1659; Elizabeth, 23 September 1662; Experience, 6 October 1664; Sarah, 31 January 1666; and Samuel, 1 March 1671; was freeman 1681. Another Samuel, at Weymouth, or the same, had Abigail, born 20 April 1681.

SAMUEL KING, Northampton, brother of Benjamin King, married 1690, Joanna, widow of Thomas Alvord, had Eliakim, born 19 February 1692; Samuel, 19 November 1693; Jemima; and twin children 31 July 1699, who both died soon; and he died 3 October 1701; and his widow married 1702, Deliverance Bridgman.

THOMAS KING, Sudbury, and Lancaster, by wife Ann, who died 24 December 1642, had Thomas, born 4 December 1642, died 3 January 1645. The father also, died soon, for his inventory was taken by Captain John Coolidge and Hugh Mason, 23 April following. Possibly he was that youth of 15, who came from Ipswich at the same time, in 1634, with the other Thomas a few years older, but in a different ship, the Elizabeth.

THOMAS KING, Watertown 1640, probably in the Frances from Ipswich, 1634, aged 19, came with so many, who sat down at that place, but first was, probably at Hampton; by wife Mary, had Thomas, born 6 March 1641; Mary, 2 February 1643; and died 7 December 1644. His widow married 9 March 1645, James Cutler.

THOMAS KING, Scituate, came in the Blessing, from London, 1635, aged 21, in company with William Vassall, united with the church 25 February 1638, but did not remove next year with the pastor and his many friends; by wife Sarah, had Rhoda, born 11 October 1639; George, 24 December 1642, who it is thought died young; Thomas, 21 June 1645; Daniel, 4 February 1648; Sarah, 24 May 1650; and John, 30 May 1652, died in few weeks; and his wife died 6 June after. He next married 31 March 1653, Jane, widow of Elder William Hatch, who died 8 October following, had third wife Ann; but children of the first wife only are heard of; was Ruling Elder, and died 1691; his will is of this date. Rhoda married 8 October 1656, at Boston, John Rogers of Scituate.

THOMAS KING, Scituate, son of the preceding, was a Deacon, had two wives. One probably Mary Sprague, daughter of the first William Sprague of Hingham, who must have been second wife, for in 1669 he married Elizabeth Clap, daughter of Thomas Clap of Scituate. He had several children of whom Daniel was of Marshfield; and Sarah married Elisha Bisby junior, says Deane. In the same ship with him came Susanna, aged 30, who may have been aunt.

THOMAS KING, Taunton, died 30 March 1713, aged 70, says gravestone. He may be that Weymouth inhabitant who by wife Mary, had John, born 29 August 1670; Mary, 12 June 1673; and, perhaps, had children after removing to Taunton.

THOMAS KING, Hatfield and Hartford, brother of Benjamin King, married 17 November 1683, Abigail Strong, daughter of Jedediah Strong, had Thomas, born at Northampton, 3 December 1684, died young; Abigail, 1687; and Mary, 1691, both at Hatfield; besides Thomas; and Robert; both at Hartford, where, after death of his first wife 1689, he married 1690, Mary Webster, daughter of Robert Webster, who died 27 September 1706. He had third wife and died 26 December 1711, and his widow died 2 January following.

WILLIAM KING, Salem, came from London in the Abigail, 1635, aged 28, freeman 25 May 1636, which is inconsistent in trifling degree with Felt, who says he had grant of land 1637, and was freeman after it; had there baptized Mehitable, on 25 December 1636; John, 1 November 1638; and Deliverance, 31 October 1641. In his case, we find not the wife in the valuable list of children mentioned, as was commonly the much more natural occurrence, but he seems to have been the superior polemic, if not devotee; as, in the antinomous perversity of 1637, he was one of the five men in Salem required to be disarmed for the public safety; and in the more violent ragings of spiritual insubordination 1659, his Christian kindness to the Quakers exposed him to whipping and banishment. From the latter he was restored on repentence 1661.

WILLIAM KING, Boston, who by wife Sarah Griggs, daughter of George Griggs, had William, born 6 November 1655, is, perhaps, father of that man, honored by Dunton in 1686, who died 1690. The widow of William married before July 1662, Roger Burgiss, and died 1664.

WILLIAM KING, Northampton, brother of Benjamin King, married 1686, Elizabeth Denslow, daughter of Henry Denslow of Windsor, and had William, born 7 September 1687; Daniel, 17 October 1689; Josiah, 27 August 1693; John, 11 June 1697; Eleazer, December 1701; and Elizabeth, 15 June 1707. He died 20 September 1728; and his widow died 27 May 1746, aged 80. Of the great family of Kings at Northampton, a hundred and fifty years since, near all are extinct. A Winifred King was married at Boston, 15 January 1657, to Joseph Benham of New Haven, but her father is not known. Seven of this name, Farmer saw, had, in 1829, been graduates at Harvard and twenty two at other colleges of New England and Union and New Jersey.

EDWARD KINGMAN, Weymouth, a soldier of Captain Johnson's Company 1675, in the Narraganset campaign.

HENRY KINGMAN, Weymouth, freeman 3 March 1636, Representative 1638 and 52; his wife Joan died 11 April 1659; son Henry, perhaps eldest, died May 1660. In his will of 24 May 1666, he calls his age 74, or thereabouts, mentioned sons Edward, Thomas, John, and daughters Holbrook; Davis, wife of Tobias, married 13 December 1649; and Barnard; of which the last was dead leaving five children.

JOHN KINGMAN, Weymouth, son of the preceding, by wife Elizabeth, had John, born 30 April 1664; Henry, 11 May 1668; Samuel, 28 May 1670, Elizabeth, 9 July 1673; Deliverance, 12 March 1676; Susanna, March 1678, died soon; and Susanna, again, 12 April 1679; was freeman 1666, removed to Bridgewater, and died 1690.

THOMAS KINGMAN, Weymouth, brother of the preceding, by wife Rebecca, had Rebecca, born 2 July 1664, died young; Hannah, 1 June 1666; Thomas, 11 February 1671; John; and four others; was freeman 1681. Of the original stock descendants have been numerous and reputable.

EPHRAIM KINGSBURY, Haverhill, perhaps son of Henry Kingsbury of the same, killed by the Indians 2 May 1676, probably unmarried.

HENRY KINGSBURY, Ipswich 1638, came, with wife Margaret, and two or more children in the Talbot, one of the fleet of Winthrop 1630; is number 23 on the list of members in the Church of Boston, and his wife 26, against her name being written "dead since," that means, I presume, to refer to the original MS lost after the third or fourth year. Of him we learn no more, but possibly he lived at Ipswich 1648. Winthrop Appendix about 41 and 45.

HENRY KINGSBURY, Ipswich, called himself 54 years old in a deposition of 1669, with wife Susanna, by whom he had Susanna, who married 29 January 1663, Joseph Pike; John; James, perhaps; Joseph, born about 1656, and other children, probably Samuel, and Thomas; may be the son of the preceding, lived at Ipswich 1660, at Rowley 1662, and she died at Haverhill, 21 February 1679, and he died there 1 October 1687. Perhaps he had Ephraim.

JAMES KINGSBURY, Haverhill, perhaps son of Henry Kingsbury, or of Thomas Kingsbury, took oath of fidelity 28 November 1677, had married 6 January 1674, Sarah Button, daughter of Matthias Button, removed later to Connecticut, and in 1730 was of Plainfield.

JOHN KINGSBURY, Watertown, freeman 3 March 1636, removed that year to Dedham, of which he was Representative 1647. From his will, of 2 December 1659, probated 16 October following, we find that his wife was Margaret, only child John, brother Joseph, and his son John, and kinsmen Henry Kingsbury of Ipswich, and Thomas Cooper of Seaconk, all, with other children of brother Joseph to be favored with parts of his estate.

JOHN KINGSBURY, Dedham, perhaps son of the preceding, died before middle life, and his widow Elizabeth Fuller, daughter of Thomas Fuller, married 17 September 1672, Michael Metcalf, third of the same.

JOHN KINGSBURY, Rowley 1667, son probably of Henry Kinsbury the second, cannot be the man (yet was probably his father) mentioned by Coffin, who says he had by wife Hannah, John, born at Newbury, 8 April 1689, for this son of Henry died at Haverhill, 23 January 1671, leaving one son John, born 28 July 1667, and one daughter as in Genealogical Registrar VI. 346; and his widow Elizabeth married 11 December 1672, Peter Green, and died five years after.

JOSEPH KINGSBURY, Dedham, brother of the first John Kingsbury of the same, freeman 2 June 1641, by wife Milicent, had Mary, born 1 September 1637; Elizabeth, 14 September 1638; Joseph, 17 February 1641; John, 15 of some month not stated 1643; Eleazer, 17 May 1645; and probably others, of whom one may have been Sarah, who died 24 January 1646.

JOSEPH KINGSBURY, Wrentham, son perhaps of the preceding, by wife Mary, had Elizabeth, born 14 May 1670; Eleazer, 12 May 1673; Hannah, 26 July 1675; Mary, 19 July 1680; and probably one or more intermediate, when records of the town were lost. His wife died 31 July 1680; and he married 7 September 1681 another Mary, was freeman 1682.

JOSEPH KINGSBURY, Haverhill, son of Henry Kingsbury the second, married 2 April 1669, Love Ayers, as family tradition tells, and had Joseph, Nathaniel, Mary, Elizabeth, and Susanna, with which it adds, that he removed about 1708 (when his employer, Captain Simon Wainwright had been killed by the Indians) to Norwich, there died 1741.

NATHANIEL KINGSBURY, Dedham, freeman 1677, was, perhaps, son of Joseph Kingsbury of the same, married Mary Bacon, daughter of John Bacon of the same.

SAMUEL KINGSBURY, Haverhill, probably son of the second Henry Kingsbury, married 5 November 1679, Huldah Corliss, and died 26 September 1698, she survived.

THOMAS KINGSBURY was brother of the first Henry Kingsbury perhaps, but I have knowledge of no more, except that he agreed to embark with him. See Winthrop II. 340.

THOMAS KINGSBURY, Haverhill, son perhaps of the preceding, swore fidelity 1677, was more probably son of the second Henry Kingsbury, married 29 June 1691, widow Deborah Eastman, and, next, 19 January 1703, Sarah Haines, who outlived him, but no children by either is known. Two of this name had been graduates at Harvard in 1834, and twelve at other New England colleges.

ELDAD KINGSLEY, or ELDAD KINSLEY, Rehoboth 1663, son of John Kingsley of Dorchester, aided that year Reverend John Myles in forming First baptist Church of Massachusetts; married Mehitable Morey, daughter of Roger Morey in 1662, and had John; Samuel; Jonathan; Mary, born 7 October 1675; and Nathaniel, 5 February 1679, and died 28 August 1679. Professor Kinglsey the late venerable and well beloved of New Haven, was of the seventh generation from the first John Kingsley, through Eldad Kingsley.

ENOS KINGSLEY, or ENOS KINSLEY, Northampton, brother probably of the preceding, married 15 June 1662, Sarah Haynes, daughter of Edmund Haynes of Springfield, had John, born 1664, died soon; Sarah, 1665; John, again, 1667; Haynes, 1669, died at 20 years; Ann; Samuel, 1675; Remember, 1677, died soon; and Hannah, 1681; was freeman 1680, and died 9 December 1708.

JOHN KINGSLEY, or JOHN KINSLEY, Dorchester 1635, came probably with some friend of Mather, and was here before him; at least was one of the seven pillars on formation of the new church for him, 23 August 1636, and was the last survivor; had Freedom; Eldad, born 1638; Enos; Edward; and Renewal, 19 March 1644; removed to Rehoboth, after 1648, when he was in office, and 1658; there lived, and suffered the Indians hostilities of which in a letter of supplication for relief, under date of 5 May 1676, most sad picture is given. It is printed in Trumbull, Colony record II. 445. His will, of 2 November 1677, mentioned only 3 children Edward, Enos, and Freedom; but a daughter probably then dead had married John French of Northampton. Perhaps another daughter married Timothy Jones. One John Kingsley, perhaps the same, of Rehoboth, was buried 6 January 1679, and Mary, probably his wife 29 of the same month.

JOHN KINGSLEY, or JOHN KINSLEY, Dorchester, son of Stephen Kingsley, married a daughter of William Daniels, perhaps named Alice Daniels, had Susanna, born 1671. This wife died 14 January 1674, and 16 March following he married Mary Maury or Morey, and he and wife died 1679.

JOHN KINGSLEY, or JOHN KINSLEY, Milton, married Abigail Leoanrd, daughter of James Leonard, had Abigail; Mary, born 1676; John; Stephen; Samuel; and Elizabeth, and about 1698, leaving the wife and children here named.

SAMUEL KINGSLEY, or SAMUEL KINSLEY, Billerica, freeman 1651, married Hannah Brackett, daughter of Captain Richard Brackett, died 21 May 1662; and his widow and her father were administrators.

SAMUEL KINGSLEY, or SAMUEL KINSLEY, Braintree, probably son of Stephen Kingsley, by wife Hannah, had Hannah, born 27 July 1666; Elizabeth 22 November 1657; and Mary, 3 March 1659, possibly this may be the child that died 26 March 1658, as near that time in the year the counted is easily mistaken in records. He may be the same as the preceding, I think. A Samuel Kingsley, perhaps his son was born 1662, and in the next generation of Bridgewater, married Mary, daughter of John Washburn.

STEPHEN KINGSLEY, or KINSLEY, Dorchester, perhaps brother of John Kingsley, freeman 13 May 1640, representative 1650, removed to Braintree, there had Mary, born 30 August 1640; ordained Ruling Elder of the church that was gathered 17 September 1639. He removed finally to Milton, was Representative 1666, and in his will of 27 May, probated 3 July following in 1673, provides for son John, three sons-in-law, Henry Crane, Anthony Gulliver, and Robert Mason, besides a son and two daughters children of his son Samuel, probably deceased.

HENRY KINGSNOTH, or HENRY KINGSWORTH, Guilford 1639, signed the covenant for settlement of 1 June, married Mary Stevens, daughter of John Stevens of the same; died 1668, his will was of 31 July, and inventory taken 4 November of that year. To son of his brother Daniel Kingsnorth, of Staplehurst in Kent, was given his estate, and his widow married 2 June 1669, John Collins as his second wife.

WILLIAM KINGSMILL, a Quaker, punished at Boston with 15 stripes, which did not, however it might reasonably be anticipated prevent him from renouncing his errors.

ROBERT KINSMAN, or ROBERT KINGSMAN, Ipswich 1635, came the year preceding in the Mary and John, had soon after a grant of land, married a daughter of Thomas Boreman, and died January 1665.

ROBERT KINSMAN, or ROBERT KINGSMAN, Ipswich, son of the preceding, freeman 1674, married Rebecca Burley, eldest daughter of Andrew Burley of the same, was a warm opponent of Andros, Representative 1692. Revolution in New England Justif. 14.

HENRY KIRBY, a soldier, 1676, servant in Turner's Company on Connecticut River, who may be the Salem freeman 1677, spelled in the list Kirrey, unless, as seems more probable that be intended for Skerry.

JOHN KIRBY, Middletown, whither Dr. Field thought, he removed from Boston, and Hinman made him of Hartford 1645; but before the settlement of Middletown, he had been at Hartford and Wethersfield, and at Plymouth 1643; had Elizabeth, born at Hartford, 8 September 1646; and at Wethersfield, Hannah, 1649; John and Eunice, twins 18 December 1651; Sarah, 1653; Joseph, 17 July 1656; Bethia, 19 February 1659; Susanna, 3 May 1664; and Abigail, 6 March 1666. He owned an estate at Rowington, near Kenilworth in Warwickshire. His son John Kirby was killed by the Indians 1676; and he died April 1677, his will bears date 6, and was probated 27 of that month. He left widow Elizabeth and children Mary, then wife of Emanuel Buck, aged 32; Hannah, wife of Thomas Andrews, 27; Esther, wife of Benajah Stone, 25; Sarah, wife of Samuel Hubbard, 23; Joseph, 21; Bethia, 18; Susanna, 13; and Abigail, 11; besides Elizabeth, wife of David Sage, who was deceased. Susanna married Abraham Cruttenden.

JOSEPH KIRBY, Middletown, only surviving son of the preceding, went to Carolina, but at the end of some years came home poor, had lawsuit with other heirs about estate of his father.

RICHARD KIRBY, Lynn, removed 1637 to Sandwich, by wife Jane, had Increase, and probably Abigail, twins born February 1650, of who Abigail was buried the same, and Increase, the next month, and the mother and her son Richard were buried in March of that year. He was imprisoned as a Quaker 1658, may have taken oath of fidelity at Dartmouth 1684, where he married 2 November 1678, Abigail Rowland of Dartmouth, perhaps as second or third wife. By former wife Patience, he had at Dartmouth Sarah, born 1 May 1667; John, 2 March 1673; and Robert, 10 March 1675. Perhaps he was of Oyster Bay, Long Island, 1685.

WILLIAM KIRBY, Boston, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 20 December 1640, who died 12 July 1642. He was the executioner 1657 and 8, lived in 1667, may be that freeman of 1647, printed Kerley.

JOSEPH KIRGE, is the un-English name given to one of "the flower of Essex," who fell at Bloody Brook under Captain Lothrop, 18 September 1675, which probably should be King.

THOMAS KIRK, Boston, merchant from London, or as Sir Thomas Temple wrote, then here, Captain of a ship, was sent with Thomas Kellond, bearing warrant from Governor Endicott, 1662, to arrest in the regicides Whalley and Goffe. Hutchinson I. 215. 3 Massachusetts History Collection VIII. 325. Full report from their search, a curious paper, is in Hutchinson Collection 334.

ZECHARIAH KIRK, Boston 1686, married Abigail Rawlins, daughter of Joshua Rawlins.

WILLIAM KIRKEETE, WILLIAM KIRKEET, or WILLIAM CARKEET, Saco, died 1662, leaving property by inventory of £134. The name seems strange, yet one William Kirkeete of Lynn, who may have come from Saco, by wife Lydia, had Robert, born at Salem 11 November 1697.

THOMAS KIRKHAM, Wethersfield 1648, had Samuel, and, perhaps other children, but not on record. The name is variously spelt, sometimes with initial C.

JOHN KIRTLAND, or JOHN KERTLAND, now commonly JOHN KIRKLAND, Saybrook, by tradition called one of the first settlers but may not reasonably be thought among the inhabitants of first 30 or 40 years, was a son of Nathaniel Kirtland of Lynn, married 18 November 1679, Lydia Pratt, daughter of Lieutenant William Pratt, had John, born 11 July 1681; Priscilla, 1 February 1683; Lydia, 11 October 1685; Elizabeth, 27 June 1688; Nathaniel 24 October 1690; Philip, 28 May 1693; Martha, 11 August 1695; Samuel, 19 January 1699; Daniel, 17 June 1701; and Parnell, 16 October 1704; was a Lieutenant, and about 20 January 17160 he was made heir by John Westall to all his good estate, especially £500 by him, husband of Kirtland's aunt, reserved for her. The ninth of these children Daniel Kirtland, Yale College 1720, first minister of Third Church at Norwich, called Newent (through affection for the town of that name in the North West part of Of.), had tenth child Samuel Kirtland, the celebrated missionary to the Indians of the six nations, who was father of the more distinguished John Thornton Kirtland, the ever Honorable President of Harvard University.

NATHANIEL KIRTLAND, or NATHANIEL KERTLAND, now commonly NATHANIEL KIRKLAND, Lynn, came in the Hopewell, Captain Bundock, from London, 1635, aged 19, called of Sherington, in County Bucks, near Olney, went to Long Island, with first settled there, but after few years came back to Lynn, there by wife Parnell, had Ann, born 16 April 1658; John, August 1659; Hannah, 15 April 1662; Elizabeth, 20 March 1664; Martha and Mary, twins 15 May 1667; and he died December 1686. Hannah married 20 February 1679, William Pratt of Saybrook.

NATHANIEL KIRTLAND, or NATHANIEL KERTLAND, now commonly NATHANIEL KIRKLAND, Lynn, probably son of the preceding, born at Southold, Long Island, married 20 January 1675, Mary Rand, had Nathaniel, born 3 May 1677; Mary, 1 February 1680; Priscilla, 9 April 1683; and Elizabeth, 22 June 1685. His widow married 24 April 1690, Dr. John H. Burchsted.

PHILIP KIRTLAND, or PHILIP KERTLAND, now commonly PHILIP KIRKLAND, Lynn, came in the Hopewell, Captain Bundock, from London, 1633, aged 21, called on the custom-house record of Sherington near Olney in County Rucks, was probably brother of Nathaniel Kirtland, first mentioned, and went with him to settle Long Island, and came back sooner than he, was a shoemaker, Lewis says; by wife Alice, had Mary, born 3 or 8 June 1640; Sarah, 27 September 1646; Susanna, 8 March 1652; Hannah and Ebenezer, twins 12 June 1654. He had elder brother John Kirtland, whose residence is unknown, and died before July 1659, and his widow Alice married Evan Thomas of Boston, who in favor of the children made conveyance of estate in trust 24 April 1661. Sarah married 5 October 1664, John Davis.

PHILIP KIRTLAND, or PHILIP KERTLAND, now commonly PHILIP KIRKLAND, Lynn, perhaps son of the preceding, perhaps of the first Nathaniel Kirtland, married 14 October 1679, Ruth Pierce.

HENRY KISKEYES, or HENRY KESKEYS, Boston, married 7 August 1656, Ruth Graves, daughter of Richard Graves, had Henry, born 3 May 1657, misprinted in Genealogical Registrar X. 68.

ROBERT KITCHELL, Guilford 1639, had wife Margaret, son Samuel; Hannah, who married 12 November 1656, Jeremiah Peck; and Sarah, died May 1657; was given power, in 1665, to hold court at Guilford, but next year removed to New Jersey where he was distinguished, and is called in history the benefactor of Newark. His widow removed to Greenwich, there died 1679.

SAMUEL KITCHELL, Guilford, son of the preceding, was Ensign 1665, married 11 March 1657, at New Haven, Elizabeth Wakeman, daughter of John Wakeman, had Sarah, born the same year, died 5 January following; Elizabeth, born 1 February baptized 13 March 1659; and Abigail, 10, baptized 11 August 1661; but then lived at New Haven may have had more children at Guilford. In July 1667, united with Bruen and others, he purchasing large tract from Indians in and around Newark, New Jersey.

JOHN KITCHEN, Salem 1640, freeman 28 February 1643, shoemaker, by wife Elizabeth, had there baptized: Elizabeth and Hannah, 12 March 1643, who were not probably twins, but the father was not earlier of the church; Joseph, 20 April 1645; John, 28 June 1646, died soon; Mary, 23 April 1648, who married 20 February 1666, Timothy Robinson; John, again, 21 March 1652; and Robert, 15 April 1655; besides, probably Abigail, who married 3 June 1669, John Guppy; and Priscilla, who married October 1672, Nathaniel Hum (if this be not abbreviation); but certainly Benjamin, born 28 August 1669, and died next month. He was chosen sealer of leather, 1655, and died 1676.

ROBERT KITCHEN, Salem, son of the preceding, merchant and shipowner, died 28 October 1712, in 56th year says gravestone; and his son Robert Kitchen, a student at Harvard College died 20 September 1716.

JOSEPH KITCHERELL, JOSEPH KETCHERWELL, JOSEPH KETCHERING, or JOSEPH KECHERELL, sometimes with the first letter C, Charlestown 1636, perhaps the same, whose wife perhaps, or sister Sarah on administration there by the church 30 November 1643, is spelled Kitcherin, and for which Felt shows, in Salem, grant of land 1639, and administration to the church in the same year. I doubt he was not many years at either place, being marked in the church record as drowning, as in Essex Institute Collections I. 39, where the c is mistaken for t.

SAMUEL KITCHERELL, SAMUEL KETCHERWELL, SAMUEL KETCHERING, or SAMUEL KECHERELL, sometimes with the first letter C, Hartford, by wife Martha, had Martha; Samuel, and Hannah, born 4 January 1646; and died 1650. His widow married 2 January 1651, Anthony Dorchester of Springfield, where Samuel died 9 June 1651, and Hannah died 29 April 1658, and Martha married 1 December 1659, Abel Wright.

JOHN KITTREDGE, Billerica 1661, or earlier, the ancestor of the many thousands of the name in our land came, it is said, in youth with his mother, was a farmer; had John, born 24 January 1666; James, 28 March 1668; Daniel, 23 July 1670; Jonathan, 1674, died 1696; and Benoni, 1677, posthumous, for the father died 18 October 1676. Much do I regret, that of those five sons our information is confined to

JOHN KITTREDGE, Billerica, son of the preceding, married 3 August 1685, Hannah French, perhaps daughter by second wife of William French, had six sons and five daughters, and died 27 April 1714. He was, says Farmer, the first of the family with that prefix, Dr. which has since been so frequent with his progeny, of which three at Harvard and nineteen at other New England colleges had been graduates in 1834.

AARON KNAPP, Taunton 1643, may have been father of Elizabeth, who married 17 February 1674, Nicholas Stoughton; and besides had Mary, baptized at Roxbury, 20 November 1659; and he died before 1676. Baylies, II. 267, 278.

CALEB KNAPP, Stamford, son of Nicholas Knapp, freeman 1670, made his will 11 December 1674, died soon. He names wife Hannah, and children Caleb, who was born 1661; John, 1664; Moses; Samuel; Sarah; and Hannah.

JAMES KNAPP, Watertown 1652, son of William Knapp the first, born in England, married Elizabeth Warren, daughter of John Warren, had Elizabeth, born 21 April 1655; and James, 26 May 1657, who died 26 September following. In the autumn of 1671, at Groton, where he then lived, his wife suffered terribly by witchcraft, if the trifling story in the Magnalia VI. 67, is good for any thing.

JOHN KNAPP, Watertown, brother of the preceding, married 25 May 1660, Sarah Young, had John, born 4 May 1661; and Sarah, 5 September 1662; and several others, for his will of 22 January 1696, probated 27 April following, though it names not either of these, who were, perhaps daughter, mentioned widow Sarah, and children Henry, Isaac, John, Daniel, and Abigail.

JOHN KNAPP, Taunton, married 7 October 1685, Sarah Austin. Possibly he was son of the preceding.

JONATHAN KNAPP, Fairfield, son of the first Roger Knapp, died young, for his inventory is of 1 February 1676.

JOSHUA KNAPP, Greenwich 1670, son of Nicholas Knapp, married 9 June 1657, at Stamford, Hannah Close, had good estate by inventory of 1685, though he died 27 October 1684, leaving children Hannah, aged 25; Joshua, 22; Joseph, 20; Ruth, 18; Timothy, 16; Benjamin, 10; Caleb, 7; Jonathan, 5. His widow married John Bowers.

MOSES KNAPP, Greenwich 1670, brother of the preceding probably youngest, but perhaps was only a land holder, and never lived at Greenwich but at Stamford as early as 1667, and there his father gave him land by his will; married about 1669, Abigail Wescoat, daughter of Richard Wescoat. Whether he had children I am not advised but he was living certainly at Stamford up to 1701, perhaps later.

NICHOLAS KNAPP, Watertown, may have come in the fleet with Winthrop and Saltonstall 1630, by wife Elinor, had Jonathan, who was buried 27 December 1631; Timothy, born 14 December 1632; Joshua, 5 January 1635; Caleb, 20 January 1637; Sarah, 5 January 1639; Ruth, 6 January 1641; and Hannah, 6 March 1643; removed to Stamford, there, I suppose, had Moses, and Lydia. His wife Elinor died 16 August 1658, and he married 9 March following Unity, widow of Peter Brown, who had been widow of Clement Buxton; died April 1670. His will of 15 of that month names four sons Caleb, Joshua, Moses, Timothy; and four daughters Sarah, Hannah, Lydia, and Ruth. Sarah married 6 September 1667, Peter Disbrough; and Ruth married 20 November following Joseph Ferris.

ROGER KNAPP, New Haven 1643-7, Fairfield 1656-70, and probably later, had made his will 21 March 1673; named wife Elizabeth, and children Jonathan, Josiah, Lydia, Roger, John, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, and Mary, some of whom were minors, and his inventory is of 20 September 1675.

ROGER KNAPP, Fairfield, son of the preceding died 1691, but no account is found of his family.

THOMAS KNAPP, Sudbury, married at Watertown, 19 September 1688, Mary Grout, daughter of John Grout, and died beyond sea, leaving widow and children Sarah, aged 9 years, and Mary, 6, when administration was issued 28 May 1697.

TIMOTHY KNAPP, Stamford, son perhaps eldest of Nicholas Knapp, Representative for Rye 1670, was of Greenwich, lived 1697. In that century a single p was used.

WILLIAM KNAPP, Watertown 1636, died 30 August 1658, "aged about 80 years". Perhaps he came as early as Nicholas Knapp; and had, in his will of 1655, not named any wife but referred to children of which several were brought by him from England and to grandchildren. His children were William; Mary; Elizabeth; John, born 1624; James, 1627; Ann; and Judith. Mary married Thomas Smith; Elizabeth married in England a Buttery; Ann married Thomas Philbrick, but died before her father who in his will names her children; and Judith married Nicholas Cady.

WILLIAM KNAPP, Watertown, son of the preceding, by wife Mary, had probably Joseph, besides Priscilla, born 10 November 1642; and by wife Margaret had Judith, born 2 March 1653; Elizabeth, 23 July 1657; and, perhaps, others; left widow Priscilla, who had been widow of Thomas Akers, and son John. Three of this name had, in 1829, been graduates at Harvard and as many at other New England colleges.

JOHN KNEELAND, Boston, one of the founders of the Scot's Charitable Society 1657, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 6 October 1659, died next year; Hannah, 18 July 1663; Mary, again, 13 April 1666; John, 9 November 1668; Solomon, 7 February 1671; and Ruth, 30 July 1673. He died at Roxbury, 11 August 1691, aged 59.

PHILIP KNEELAND, Lynn 1637. Several of this name have been graduates at Harvard of who William, 1751, was nine years a tutor, and President of marriedM.S.; died 2 November 1788, aged 56.

JOHN KNELL, JOHN KNEALE, or JOHN KNILL, Charlestown, perhaps son of Nicholas Knell, removed to Boston, had wife Elizabeth, who became third wife of Nathaniel Bachiler of Hampton, 23 October 1689. Children of Knell were John, born 13 May 1679, baptized 12 September 1680; Hannah, baptized 1 May 1681; and Richard, born 26, baptized 27 May 1683.

NICHOLAS KNELL, NICHOLAS KNEALE, or NICHOLAS KNILL, Stratford 1650, married Elizabeth Newman, widow of Thomas Knowles, daughter of Francis Newman, of New Haven, had John, born 24 October 1651, died soon; Elizabeth, 3 May 1653; Isaac, February 1655; John, again, 17 December 1657; by the government was granted in 1668, 50 acres, and as much more next year; and died 2 April 1675. His will names only wife and the two sons. He seems to have been a man of some consequence, has Mr. prefix, and the mention in town records of his death calls him "that aged benefactor of the country."

PHILIP KNELL, PHILIP KNEALE, or PHILIP KNILL, Charlestown, perhaps brother of John Knell, by wife Ruth, married 5 October 1666, as widow Allen, had Ruth, born 6, baptized 10 July 1670; Elizabeth, 15, baptized 26 April 1674; and Philip, 4 July 1675, baptized the same day. His widow petitioned the Governor and Council 30 October 1697, for redress in the case of her servant Sambo, impressed under 21 years of age. His will, made at the age of 51 or 2 years, 18 February 1689, was not probated before 15 October 1699.

ALEXANDER KNIGHT, or ALEXANDER KNIGHTS, Ipswich 1635, had kept an inn at Chelmsford, England, says Vincent in his History of the Pequot War. Perhaps we may be justified in thinking he came in the Defence, but could not obtain license to embark, being a subsidy man; we know at least, that in that ship that year came from London, Sarah Knight aged 50; and Dorothy, 30, of who one might be wife and the other sister or daughter.

APSIA KNIGHT, or APSIA KNIGHTS, Charlestown 1637, if the force of Frothingham, 57 and 88, can render such a name credible. Without sight of the MS, I should indulge the license of modest conjecture to make it Apphia.

BENJAMIN KNIGHT, or BENJAMIN KNIGHTS, Newbury; son of the second John Knight of the same, married Abigail Jaques, daughter of Henry Jaques, had Benjamin, born 8 February 1693; Isaac, 15 January 1695; Abigail, 15 April 1697; Daniel, 4 December 1699, died young; Daniel, again, 11 January 1702; and George, 31 January 1704.

CHARLES KNIGHT, or CHARLES KNIGHTS, Salem, married 9 May 1667, Sarah Lemon, daughter I presume of Robert Lemon, had Elizabeth, born 18 May 1668; Mary, 7 April 1670; and Sarah, 22 July 1673; was a soldier of Gardner's Company wounded in the great Narraganset fight, 19 December 1675. In Essex Institute II. 256, this name is Knite.

DANIEL KNIGHT, or DANIEL KNIGHTS, York 1640, perhaps in Indians war removed to Lynn, died 29 October 1672. He may have been infant son of Jacob Knight.

EZEKIEL KNIGHT, or EZEKIEL KNIGHTS, Salem, if the grant of land 1637, which Felt mentioned drew him thither, but most of his days was of Braintree, by wife Elizabeth, who was buried 28 April 1642, had Ezekiel, born 1 February 1641, died at 7 months.

EZEKIEL KNIGHT, or EZEKIEL KNIGHTS, Wells 1645, probably had wife and children in early life, and may be the same as the preceding, was commissioner, i. e. Representative 1661, at York, much betrusted in public service, and after 1662 married Mary Eaton, daughter of Governor Theophilus Eaton, widow of Valentine Hill of Dover, formerly of Boston; and, next, the widow of John Lovering, and she died before 29 June 1675, when he presented a bill for support of the children of Lovering, and he died 1687. His will of 18 April in that year probated 16 September following, made Mr. Shubael Dummer, Captain Job Alcock, and Mr. John Bass executors but its provision was very plain; all estate to wife for her life, and of remaining two parts to son Ezekiel, and one to daughter Elizabeth Wentworth of Dover, who is believed to have been wife of Ezekiel Wentworth.

GEORGE KNIGHT, or GEORGE KNIGHTS, Hingham, came, 1638, in the Diligent, with wife and children from Barrow, a parish of County Suffolk near Bury St. Edmunds.

GEORGE KNIGHT, or GEORGE KNIGHTS, Scarborough, died 1671, in his will of 5 April of that year gives to wife Elinor, son Nathan, and daughter Elizabeth. His widow married Henry Brooking, as perhaps I may be justified for conjecture ny the dark passage in Genealogical Registrar IX. 220.

GEORGE KNIGHT, or GEORGE KNIGHTS, Hartford 1671, died 19 April 1698, his inventory being of 15 June next year leaving widow Sarah, several daughters but no sons. His wife was Sarah Church, daughter of John Church, and children were Sarah, born 27 April 1680, who married as Porter writes, 25 December 1699, George Saxton; Love, 10 September 1682, married 20 November 1702, Thomas Andrews; Ann, 6 April 1688, married 9 December 1715, probably as second wife Samuel Galpin; and Elizabeth, 13 December 1690, married 12 June 1707, Nathaniel Cole.

JACOB KNIGHT, or JACOB KNIGHTS, Lynn, son of William Knight, married 25 December 1668, Sarah Burt, had Sarah, born 28 November 1670, died within 13 months; Daniel, 25 October 1672; Elizabeth, 4 August 1677. His wife Sarah, died 14 February 1682, and he married 18 September following Hannah Rand.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Dorchester 1634, with prefix of respect, probably removed but may have been that John Knight who died in a town not mentioned 4 November 1634.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Newbury, came from Southampton, 1635, in the James; was a tailor of Romsey in Hants, administered freeman with his brother Richard Knight 25 May 1636, had wife Elizabeth, who died 20 March 1645, and by her, or a former wife had John, born 1622. His next wife was Ann, widow of Richard Ingersoll of Salem, and he died May 1670.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Watertown 1636, a maulster, not in my opinion the freeman of 1636, as Bond thought was among original proprietors of Sudbury 1642, probably the freeman of 10 May 1643, was of Woburn 1653, first signer of a petition for church liberty.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Beverly, a mason, son of William Knight, brought from England by his father before 1637, went home, it is said, to take part in the great civil war on the side of Parliament; married in England but soon after came hither, had eldest son John, besides William, Joseph, Emma, and Martha, went again to England about 1672, to obtain estate left by his father, and there died. All this was sworn by two witnesses at Beverly in June 1743, each of the age of 85 years, who knew him, and his eldest son John, and the eldest son of that John, then lived at Manchester. It must not, then, be supposed that he was the same as the following as plausible might be suggested.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Newbury, son of John Knight of the; same, born in England, married 1647, Bathshua Ingersoll, daughter of Richard Ingersoll of Salem, had John, born 16 August 1648; Joseph, 21 June 1662; Elizabeth, 18 October 1655; Mary, 8 September 1657; Sarah, 13 April 1660; Hannah, 22 March 1662, died young; Hannah, again, 30 August 1664; Richard, 26 July 1666; Benjamin, 21 August 1668; and Isaac, 31 August 1672, who died at 18 years; was freeman 1671, and died 25 February 1678, in 56th year and his widow died 25 October 1705. Elizabeth married 25 February 1674, Cutting Noyes; Mary married 13 January 1681, Timothy Noyes; and Hannah married 31 March 1684, James Noyes.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Charlestown 1653, son of John Knight, a cooper, was probably born in England, married 25 April 1654, Ruhamah Johnson, had Ruhamah, born 29 January 1655, died at two weeks; Elizabeth, 3 June 1656; John, 4 November 1657; Ruhamah, again, 16 February 1659; and Abigail, baptized 25 November 1660; but I know not, whether he had others of second or third wife though it seems probable in the church records of adminstration 1667, Abigail Knight is called daughter of sister Stower's, and that may indicate, but not exclusively a maiden; for "goodman John Knight" comes in few months after; and on 23 September 1677 is found "Mary Knight the wife of our brother John Knight. He married 19 December 1678, widow Mary Clements, as fourth wife and she died 12 July 1682, and, again, "9 January 1680, Mary Knight, wife of our brother John Knight" and finally, "9 March 1684, Sarah Knight, wife of our brother John killed by dismissal from Boston First Church" as Budington's valuable list, pp. 248, 9 and 50 show. So that we might take the last two, or even three to belong to John the younger and leave enough but five wives this man had. From the will of another John of Charlestown, no doubt his father made 14 February 1673, of wh. we see not the day of probated but find the inventory of 1 June 1674, we find no other relat. named but Elizabeth and Abigail, daughters of his son John, s.-in-law Robert Peirce of Woburn, and the wife his own died Mary, and makes overseer, his friend and brother (but this means only, I judge, the children’s relationship) John Chickering, who was the physician. For his third wife this John of Charlestown took, 22 June 1668, Mary Bridge, who died October 1678. In spite of his five wives he lived to ripe age, for in 1679 he was called 46 years old, and his fourth wife 52; and his will, made 28 November 1701, was probated 13 December 1714.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Charlestown, not son of John Knight of the same, by wife Persis, had Persis, baptized 2 May 1669, died young; Mary, 31 July 1670; Persis, again, 17 March 1672; John, 23 November 1673; Samuel, 12 September 1675; perhaps several more, and some of these may belong to the other John of Charlestown for, Mr. Wyman assures me, no John of Charlestown had wife Persis.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Newbury, eldest brother of Benjamin Knight, married 1 January 1672, Rebecca Noyes, daughter of Reverend James Noyes, had James, born 3 September 1672; Rebecca, 27 April 1674; John, 3 April 1676; Sarah, 25 February 1679; Elizabeth, 13 April 1681; Joseph, 9 October 1683; and Nathaniel, 22 December 1688.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Woburn, not son of the first John Knight of Charlestown, married 2 March 1681, Abigail Craggin, eldest child of John Craggin, had Abigail, born 27 December 1681; John, 31 January 1684, died next year; John, again, 3 March 1686; Benjamin, 20 March 1688, died under 10 years; Samuel, 27 September 1690; Ebenezer, 20 August 1695; Rebecca, 14 May 1698; Benjamin, 20 October 1700; and Amaziah, 14 December 1703.

JOHN KNIGHT, or JOHN KNIGHTS, Dover, perhaps son of Richard Knight of the same, married Leah, widow of Benedictus Tarr, it is said, but no more is known of him, except that his inventory was brought in 17 June 1700.

JONATHAN KNIGHT, or JONATHAN KNIGHTS, Salem 1670, married probably at Woburn 31 March 1663, Ruth Wright, and had Jonathan; Ebenezer; Enos; Ruth; and Deborah; and he died 17 January 1683. He was probably son of the first Philip Knight. A John Knight, with wife Mary, and Joseph, with wife Hannah, early at Watertown, are mentioned by Bond, but no issue is found in his volumes.

JOSEPH KNIGHT, or JOSEPH KNIGHTS, Woburn, freeman 1652, had Sarah, born 8 March 1651; Samuel, 8 September 1652, died next year; Hannah, 25 March 1654; John, 16 January 1656; Elizabeth, 7 April 1658; Mary, 6 June 1660, died at 10 months; Dinah, 4 July 1661; Samuel, again, 18 March 1663; Mary, again, 12 December 1672, died in few months; Joseph, 12 December 1673; Edward, 31 August 1677; Isaac, 24 February 1680, died next month; James, 22 April 1681, died next day; Ruth, 7 May 1682; Ebenezer, 24 August 1684; and Amos, 19 May 1687; but most probably by more than one wife and quite probably by two Josephs. The senior died 13 August 1687, and his widow Hannah died 13 January 1695.

JOSEPH KNIGHT, or JOSEPH KNIGHTS, named by Thomas Spaule of Boston, in his will of 23 February 1671, as the husband of testator's daughter Mary Spaule, and having children and to her and them making residence, devise after that to his own wife during widow. I guess was of Boston.

JOSEPH KNIGHT, or JOSEPH KNIGHTS, Newbury, brother of Benjamin Knight, freeman 1684, married 31 October 1677, Deborah Coffin, probably daughter of second Tristram Coffin, had Judith, born 23 October 1678; John, 20 January 1680, died at 16 years; Joseph, 16 February 1682, died within two years; Deborah, 26 April 1684; Sarah, 3 November 1686; Elizabeth, 18 April 1690; Joseph, again, 16 February 1692; Mary, 3 September 1693; Tristram, 9 June 1695; John, again, 10 December 1696; and Stephen, 9 October 1699; was Ensign, and died 29 January 1723.

JOSEPH KNIGHT, or JOSEPH KNIGHTS, Woburn, freeman 1676, perhaps son of first Joseph Knight, who married 4 April 1699, Martha Lilly, in his will of 16 January 1733 names wife Martha, and daughters Martha, Ruth, Rebecca, Hannah, Mary, and Dorothy.

MAUTLYN KNIGHT, or MAUTLYN KNIGHTS, or MACKLIN KNIGHT, or MACKLIN KNIGHTS, Boston 1643, had wife Dorothy.

MICHAEL KNIGHT, or MICHAEL KNIGHTS, Woburn, married 20 October 1657, Mary Bullard, had Mary, born 14 October 1658; Jonathan, 23 March 1662; Joshua, 20 January 1665; Lydia, 29 September 1674; and he had been administered freeman 1654.

PHILIP KNIGHT, or PHILIP KNIGHTS, Charlestown, had wife Margery, children Jonathan, Philip, Rebecca, Elizabeth and Mary; who at his death were of the ages respectively, about 26, 23, 17, 13, and 11; but he had removed long, before to Topsfield, or near it, and died November 1668. Perhaps Mary married 5 June 1677, Daniel Ross.

PHILIP KNIGHT, or PHILIP KNIGHTS, Wenham 1669, son of the preceding was of Salem 1670.

RICHARD KNIGHT, or RICHARD KNIGHTS, Newbury, probably younger brother of the first John Knight, came with him from Southampton in the James, 1635, called in the custom-house record tailor of Romsey, in Hants, married says Coffin, Agnes Coffley, who died 29 March 1679, had Rebecca, born 7 March 1643; Sarah, 23 March 1648; Ann; and Elizabeth. He was sworn freeman 25 May 1636, was Deacon, and died 4 August 1683, in 81st year.

RICHARD KNIGHT, or RICHARD KNIGHTS, Weymouth 1637, mentioned by Winthrop II. 348, may be he who was recorded an inhabitant of Boston early in 1642, a slater, being administered of the church a few days before and, perhaps, son of a widow Sarah, administered in May 1639; freeman 18 May 1642, by wife Dinah, had Samuel, born 9 January baptized 12 February 1643, and buried 25 September following; Joseph, 16, baptized 18 May 1615; and by wife Joanna, had Joanna, born 24 January 1653; James, 1 February 1665; but it may be very difficult to distinguish him from others of the name.

RICHARD KNIGHT, or RICHARD KNIGHTS, Hampton, perhaps Portsmouth, 1643, was, perhaps, of Dover 1659, or before 1668, of Boston, a merchant.

RICHARD KNIGHT, or RICHARD KNIGHTS, Boston, by wife Joanna, had James, who died 27 September 1662; Sarah, born 6 November 1656; and Mary, 25 January 1659.

RICHARD KNIGHT, or RICHARD KNIGHTS, Newport 1648, next year chosen General Sergent, whatever that may means, and many years bought Iand of Indians on the continuance 1665 in conjunction with Henry Hall of Westerly. He had eldest son John Knight of Norwich, as from law papers I learn; and this may imply, that he had other children.

RICHARD KNIGHT, or RICHARD KNIGHTS, Boston 1673, bricklayer, was called to serve in Philip's war on Connecticut River in Captain Turner's Company. Perhaps he married Sarah Kimball, and had daughter Elizabeth to which her uncle John Kimball gave estate. This Richard Knight was bred a carver, but married a wife of superior mind, Sarah Kemble, daughter of Thomas Kemble, or Kimball, of Charlestown. They had only child Elizabeth, who married John Livingston of New London, and outlived him. Some proof of the mother's literary skill is furnished by her journal of travels in 1704 from Boston to New York and back, published so late as 1825 by Theodore Dwight, Esq. She had removed after the death of her husband to Norwich, and thence to New London, where she died 25 September 1727. See Caulkins's History 372.

RICHARD KNIGHT, or RICHARD KNIGHTS, Newbury, son of the second John Knight of the same, married Elizabeth Jacques, daughter of Henry Jacques, had Henry, born 6 July 1697; and Elizabeth, 11 March 1702.

ROBERT KNIGHT, or RICHARD KNIGHTS, Hampton 1640, removed to Boston, had, by first wife, Samuel, born 1642, who probably died young. He married Ann, the young widow of Thomas Cromwell, the rich privateersman, I presume early in 1650, and may thereafter have spent a year or more in Maine, but had Edward, born 5 February 1652; and Martha, 1 September 1653; besides James, in 1654, who probably died soon; and he died 27 June 1655; his will of 8 May preceding gave all to wife with care of only children Edward and Martha.

ROBERT KNIGHT, or ROBERT KNIGHTS, Marblehead 1648, may be he who died at Cambridge 29 October 1652; but nothing more is known.

ROBERT KNIGHT, or ROBERT KNIGHTS, Kittery 1647, removed to York, died 1676, his will of 23 June, probated 24 August of that year, mentioned son Richard Knight, living in Boston.

ROGER KNIGHT, or ROGER KNIGHTS, Portsmouth 1631, among the people sent by Mason the patentee. Belknap I. 425. His daughter Mary married John Bruster or John Brewster of Portsmouth.

SAMUEL KNIGHT, or SAMUEL KNIGHTS, Roxbury, married 16 October 1685, Sarah Howe, perhaps daughter of Abraham Howe of the same, had Mehitable, born 9 September 1686, died under 17 years; Samuel, who died 20 May 1689; and Ebenezer, February 1694.

THOMAS KNIGHT, or THOMAS KNIGHTS, Salem 1661, a mason, perhaps son of Walter Knight.

WALTER KNIGHT, or WALTER KNIGHTS, Salem 1626, had been here in 1622, and is now sent over by the Dorchester people to strengthen Conant; perhaps was of Duxbury 1638; in 1653 gives evidence about something that occurred in 1622, perhaps only hearsay, he called his age 66.

WILLIAM KNIGHT, or WILLIAM KNIGHTS, Salem, a mason, had grant of land 1637, yet seems rather to belong to Lynn, freeman 2 May 1638, had John, Ann, Francis, Hannah, all by second wife Elizabeth, Jacob, Daniel, Elizabeth, and Mary, and died 5 March 1656. From Lewis was this account derived by Farmer; yet there is evidence that he had John and Francis, Joanna, and Mary only, all brought from England and that the sons both went home, and there Francis died without issue; but John after serving the parliamentary cause in the civil war, obtained possession of estate in England that was his father’s, married and died in that country. His will, of 2 December 1653, provides for division of estate among the children of both wives, each named. and to eldest son Jacob doubled portion. The inventory was returned when the will was probated 28 June 1655.

WILLIAM KNIGHT, or WILLIAM KNIGHTS, Topsfield, came, perhaps, in 1638, though by no means can I agree with Farmer in making him freeman on 2 May of that year, implies of course that he had come as early as 1637, when the prefix of respect, is wanting to this name next year; however it may be that he came not before 1639, in which year he had grant of 200 acres at Ipswich, to the outlying farmers of which town, in 1641, at the place called New Meadows, he began to preach. This was 8 or 9 years before the incorporation by its present name, nor was a church allowed to be gathered there before 1645, as Winthrop II. 254, tells, so that probably Knight was discouraged at least before 1648, we know he went home. Mather, putting him into his first class of ministers found no Christian name for him, yet as about twenty others of the same list show the same deficiency, we may be sure, he did not much inquire. Of this name, had, in 1834, eight been graduates at the various New England colleges. Yet none at Harvard.

GEORGE KNOCKER, and THOMAS KNOCKER, misprinted thus in Genealogical Registrar III. 80 for Knower of Charlestown.

HANSERD KNOLLYS, Dover, was born it is said, 1598 at Cawkwell in County Lincoln, bred at the University of Cambridge, ordained 23 June 1629, as a priest by the Bishop of Peterborough, renounced the Church of England in 1636, and in 1638 came to New England though some english books say a year earlier. On arrival at Boston, he was refused permission of residence through suspicion of antinomous taint, so that he went to New Hampshire jurisdiction, and in 1641 home, reaching London 24 December. See Winthrop I. 326; II. 27. Yet Brook's Lives of the Purit. III. sub voce, with Crosby's History of Baptists I. 334, furnished more favorable views of his character and even Mather's Magnalia III. 6 refers to the death of the "goodman in a good old age;" while in our times an Association in England of the baptist Communion honors the confessor by adopting the title of the Hanserd Knollys' Society.

GEORGE KNOTT, Sandwich 1637, perhaps removed thither from Lynn, died 1, buried 3 May 1648, leaving widow Martha, son Samuel, and daughter Martha, whom he wished Thomas Dunham to marry, as in his nuncupative will of that date expressed, but she married 18 November 1650, Thomas Tobey.

RICHARD KNOTT, Marblehead 1678, a surgeon with prefix of respect. He probably had wife Ruth.

GEORGE KNOWER, Charlestown 1631, may have come in the fleet with Winthrop, lived on the Malden side, died 13 February 1675, leaving property to wife Elizabeth, son Jonathan, born 1645, and daughter Mary Mirable. He, or rather his wife (for the men were too timid) united in the petition 28 October 1651, to the General Court, in favor of Reverend Mr. Matthews. Frothingham, 81, 85, 126. In his will of 3 December 1674 he calls himself about 67 years of age. He mentioned in it another daughter, wife of Moses Bucknam.

JONATHAN KNOWER, Malden, freeman 1690, spelled Knohre, was son of the preceding, by wife Sarah Winslow, daughter of John Winslow, had Sarah, born July 1680; Jonathan, 1682; Thomas, 24 November 1685, died soon; Elizabeth, 22 April 1688, who died in few weeks; John, 22 March 1689; John, again, 22 May 1690; and Thomas, again, 28 April 1694.

SAMUEL KNOWER, Malden, by wife Elizabeth, had Samuel, born 28 December 1690; is in Genealogical Registrar VI. 336 an error, for the father’s name is Kenny. This name is, also, falsely spelled Knowlton in Volume X. 163 of the same valuble periodical, though it is right in Volume VI. 336.

THOMAS KNOWER, Charlestown, perhaps brother of George Knower, was punished 1632, and went home I suppose, but came again in 1635, then called 33 years, with Nell (as I judge the name printed Moll) 29; and Sarah, 7; thought to be wife and daughter in the Abigail, bearing the clerk's designation at the London custom-house Knore; and died November 1641. His inventory is on our record as that of Thomas Knocker.

ALEXANDER KNOWLES, a freeman of Massachusetts 7 December 1636, whose residence is unknown to me; but in few years he removed to Fairfield, there was in good esteem; and was chosen an Assistant of the Colony of Connecticut 1658. He died December 1663, in his will mentioned sons John and Joshua, daughter Elizabeth Ford, wife of Thomas, and her five children and, perhaps, another daughter at Milford.

ELEAZUR KNOWLES, Stratford, son of Thomas Knowles of New Haven, was one of the original projectors of the new town of Woodbury, and of the early settlers; by wife Mary Porter, daughter of the first Daniel Porter, had Thomas, born 26 December 1683; Isaac, died young; Mary, 22 March 1687; Ann, 5 January 1689; Samuel, 15 April 1691; Isaac, again, 28 July 1696; and Elizabeth, 30 March 1698; and died 31 January 1731. His widow died 24 October 1732.

HENRY KNOWLES, Warwick, on list of freeman 1655, in 1644, was of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and had, I suppose, married a daughter of Robert Potter of Warwick; and 1671 was in his 62d year. 6 January when, I judge, his will was made, by which he names sons John, William, and Henry, daughters Mary, who had married 9 November 1668, Moses Lippit, and Martha, wife of Samuel Eldredge; and at Kingstown, or into Piarraganset, that disputed territory, probably all the brothers and sister were gathered.

HENRY KNOWLES, Kingstown, son of the preceding, married Alice Fish, daughter of Thomas Fish, had no children but in his will of 1726, names sister Martha Eldredge, and several nephew and nieces.

JOHN KNOWLES, Watertown, the second minister of that town, was born in Lincolnshire, bred at Magdalen College Cambridge, where he was matriculated, a pensioner July 1620, signed without final s; had his bornA. January 1623, O S and M about 1627, with last letter, and was chosen a fellow of Catharine Hall, 9 July 1627, though Mather says, of Emanuel in his common heedless way. He was not probably a settler, minister before coming over to us in August 1638; he joined uith the church at Boston 15 August of next year having married probably in England the widow of Ephraim Davis; in March following was dismissed to go to aid Phillips at Watertown and there was ordained 9 December 1640 as pastor, went on a mission, 1642, to Virginia, back next year, was freeman 1650, and next year went home, and for some time preached at Bristol, was silenced by the act of 1662, and during the plague of London, 1665, was there with wife Elizabeth. On the death of President Chauncey, 1672, he was proposed to succeed him as head of Harvard College, though in Mather's History we should not look to discover any thing like it, for that writer is very sparing of his facts in the chapter devoted to this life, III. 216, and in the first classis inserted him without baptized name. He had at Watertown by wife Elizabeth, Mary, born 9 April 1641; Elizabeth. 16 May 1643; and Hannah, who are found to be his children, the first two by a gift in will of Edward How to each and Hannah, by her petition after coming back hither in 1681. calls herself his child representing injury by desertion of her and her children by husband Benjamin Eyre, and prayed for divorce, 17 November 1685. He died 10 November 1685, at great age.

JOHN KNOWLES, Fairfield, son of Alexander Knowles, freeman 1664, died 1673, named in his will of 1 November in that year, children John, Joshua, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Rebecca, and referred to his brother Joshua Knowles, as having taken for his own testator's son Joshua.

JOHN KNOWLES, Eastham, son of Richard Knowles, married 28 December 1670, Apphia Bangs, daughter of Edward Bangs, had Edward, born 7 November 1671; John, 10 July 1673; and Deborah, 2 March 1675. His widow married Joseph Atwood.

JOHN KNOWLES, Warwick, eldest son of the first Henry Knowles, had no children, died 16 December 1716, had made his will December 1714.

JOSHUA KNOWLES, Fairfield, brother of John Knowles of the same, freeman 1658, was living In 1673.

RICHARD KNOWLES, Cambridge 1638, by wife Ruth, had James, born 17 November 1648; may be he that death at Hampton 1 February 1682.

RICHARD KNOWLES, Plymouth, had Samuel, born 17 September 1651; removed to Eastham, had Mehitable, 20 May 1653; Barbara, 28 September 1656; and, perhaps, Mercy and others before or after. Mercy married 5 February 1668, Ephraim Doane; Barbara married 13 June 1677, Thomas Mayo.

SAMUEL KNOWLES, Eastham, son of the preceding, married December 1679, Mercy Freeman, daughter of Honorable John Freeman, had James, born 13 August 1680; Mercy, 13 September 1681; Samuel, 15 January 1683; Nathaniel, 15 May 1686; Richard, July 1688, Rebecca, March 1690; John, April 1692; Ruth, November 1694; Cornelius, October 1695; and Amos, 1702.

THOMAS KNOWLES, New Haven 1645, was dead leaving Eleazer and Thomas, before 1648. His widow Elizabeth Newman, daughter of Francis Newman, married Nicholas Knill of Stratford.

WILLIAM KNOWLES, Kingstown, son of the first Henry Knowles of Warwick, died 1727, and his widow Alice died 1730. His will, made 6 October 1721, names wife Alice, daughters Rose Wilson, Martha Sherman, Mary Chase, and Alice Screvin, and sons Henry, William, Daniel, Robert, and John.

BENJAMIN KNOWLTON, Springfield, married 1676, Hannah Mirick, had Mary, born 1677; Benjamin, 1679; Sarah, 1682; Mercy, 1683, died young; Joseph, 1687; and Mercy, again, posthumous. He died 19 August 1690.

JOHN KNOWLTON, Ipswich, freeman 2 June 1641, died about 1654, leaving wife Margaret, children John, Abraham, and Elizabeth.

JOHN KNOWLTON, Ipswich, son of the preceding, freeman 1680, living then at Wenham, died 8 October 1684; by wife Sarah, had William; Samuel; Joseph, born 1651; and Nathaniel, 29 June 1658.

NATHANIEL KNOWLTON, Ipswich, perhaps son of William Knowlton, freeman 1683, was a man of consequence.

SAMUEL KNOWLTON, Wenham, perhaps younger brother of the preceding, freeman 1680.

THOMAS KNOWLTON, Ipswich 1643, brother of the first John Knowlton, married 24 November 1668, Hannah Green, was Deacon, and prison-keeper, died 3 April 1692, aged 70. He married for second wife 17 May 1682, as is said, Mary Kimball.

WILLIAM KNOWLTON, Hingham 1635, was, Felt thought, the bricklayer, who died at Ipswich 1644, founder of a respectable family and in my opinion, the Hingham name, gives Nolton, by Lincoln, means, that same Norton, who was of Ipswich.

JOHN KNOX, Watertown, by wife Hannah, had Sarah, baptized, 26 December 1686; John, 3 February 1689; and James, 17 May 1690.

JOHN KOSTLO, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 8 March 1663; and John, 6 August 1666.
