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.

RICHARD MABER, Salem, married 21 November 1670, Mary Allen, had Dorcas, born 29 July 1672; John, 1 March 1675; and John, again, 15 October 1679.

MALCOLM MACCALLOM, or MALCOLM MAKCALLOM, Boston, 1657, one of the first members of the Scots' Charitable Society. In Drake's History 455, by error of one letter, the name is made Maktallome.

WILLIAM MACCANE, Wrentham, by wife Ruth, had William, who was killed by casualty in youth; Mary, born 1 February 1670; Sarah, 10 August 1671; and Deborah, 23 May 1674; probably others.

He died 13 June 1712, at Roxbury, and a third wife Christian, with his son William administering the estate which was competent.

He was of Artillery Company 1681, died at Boston 18 June 1705, aged 65; and his widow Elizabeth died 7 June 1723, aged 82. A Thomas Maccarty, Harvard College 1691, who was dead 1698, Hutchinson I. 392, 3, and a Charles, badly wounded in the expedition 1690, against Quebec, are of unknown descentants.

JOHN MAC CLARY, or JOHN MCCLARY, Haverhill 1655, was a Scotchman, possibly one of the wretched prisoners at Dunbar, or Worcester, shipped over here for sale; but not the ancestor of a distinguished family in New Hampshire which had been of the Protestant defenders of Londonderry, and emigrated from Ireland, so late as 1725.

ALEXANDER MACCOOME, or ALEXANDER MACOMB, Boston 1659, one of the Scots' Charitable Society that year.

ALEXANDER MACCULLOCK, or ALEXANDER MCCULLOC and THOMAS MACCULLOCK, or THOMAS MCCULLOC, Boston 1684, were of the Scots' Charitable Society.

DENNIS MACDANIEL, or DENNIS MACDANIEL, Boston, by wife Alice, had Dennis, born 25 November 1671; and Elizabeth, 7 May 1674.

STURGIS MACDOWALL, Boston, of the Scots' Charitable Society 1684. See Drake, 457, where all the early members are given.

WILLIAM MACE, Warwick, I presume, as one of this name married Sarah Gorton, daughter of Samuel Gorton.

DANIEL MACGINNIS, Woburn, married 10 February 1677, Rose Neal, had Rose, born 19 November 1677; removed to Billerica 1679, but in Woburn had Edmund, 23 March 1685.

JOHN MACK, Salisbury, married 5 April 1681, Sarah Bagley, had John, born 29 April 1682.

ALEXANDER MACKANEER, perhaps of Boston, yet it is not certain. His inventory of 5 December 1670, shows £123. 9.

ARCHIBALD MACKAY, Newton, probably son of Daniel Mackay of the same, by wife Margaret, had Hannah, born 24 February 1694; William, 25 December 1695; John, 22 September 1698; Nathaniel, 5 January 1702; Abigail, 6 January 1705; Edward, 21 July 1706; Elizabeth, 20 February 1712, died at 4 years; Nehemiah, 14 February 1715; and Mary, 14 January 1721.

DANIEL MACKAY, Newton, by wife Sarah, had Mary, born 25 September 1673; Jacob, 14 Mar; 1675; Hannah, 29 March 1677; and Ebenezer, 20 October 1680, besides Archibald, before either of these, and perhaps others. He was a Scotchman, and Jackson supposes he came from Roxbury, but in that town I never find the name so early.

JOHN MACKINTOSH, Dedham, married 5 April 1659, Rebecca Metcalf, daughter of the first Michael Metcalf, who died before him, and by another wife had William, baptized 25 November 1665, probably other children; died 1691, in his will, made 13 August probated 28 October following, mentioned wife Jane, and children William and Rachel.

ROBERT MACKLATHLIN, ROBERT MACLOTHLIN, ROBERT MACKLATHIN, or ROBERT MEGLATHLIN, Brookfield, perhaps a Scotch prisoner of O. Cromwell's field of triumph, either at Dunbar or Worcester, sent to our country to be sold, for years may have married at Brookfield, a daughter of the first John Warner, as Mr. Judd infers from the fact that one of two orphan daughters of Macklathlin, after the destruction of Brookfield, appears at Hadley, 1686, named Joanna, and married that year Samuel Smith of Hadley, and another daughter married at Hadley 1699, a man whose name is not plainly on record.

MORDECAI MACLOUD, Lancaster 1658, was with wife and two children, killed by the Indians 22 August 1675. Willard, 26, 28.

ALISTER MACKMALLEN, ALISTER MACMILLON, or ALISTER MACKMILLION, Salem, about 30 years old in November 1661, perhaps had wife Elizabeth, and daughter Elizabeth and died 20 June 1673. His daughter perhaps married 17 December 1677, Henry Bragg, and his widow perhaps married 4 November 1679, John Baxter, both at Salem.

JOHN MACKMALLEN, JOHN MACMILLON, or JOHN MACKMILLION, Salem, son perhaps of the preceding, married 11 December 1684, Mary Gilson, had John, born 5 September 1685; and Joseph, 24 September 1687.

JAMES MACKMAN, Windsor, married 1690, Elizabeth Stoughton, daughter of Thomas Stoughton, had no children, died 18 December 1698. He was a merchant, left good estate, and his widow married John Eliot of Windsor. Sometimes this is spelled Mackmin, never Markham, as Hinman, 153, gives it.

JOHN MACOMBER, or JOHN MACUMBER, Taunton 1643 (Baylies, II. 267), had Thomas, born 30 July 1679; William, 31 January 1684; besides probably John, as the record shows, that John senior married 7 January 1686, Mary Badcock.

THOMAS MACOMBER, or THOMAS MACUMBER, Marshfield, married 20 January 1677, Sarah Crooker, daughter of Francis Crooker.

WILLIAM MACOMBER, or WILLIAM MACUMBER, Duxbury 1643, was there 1638, possibly brother of the preceding. May have removed to Marshfield, where Sarah, perhaps his daughter, married 6 November 1666, William Briggs; removed after to Dartmouth, there was living 1686. This name has been well diffused, various spellings.

JOHN MACOONE, JOHN MACKOON, or JOHN MACOUNE, Cambridge, married 8 November 1654, Deborah Bush, who died 20 February 1665, had Hannah, born 31 October 1659; Deborah, 31 December 1661; Elizabeth, 31 January 1663, died at one year; and Sarah, 15 February 1664; he married 14 June 1663, Sarah Wood, had John, 14 June 1666; Daniel, 18 February 1669; Elizabeth 17 January 1670; Margaret, 20 February 1672; and Peter, 21 February 1674. Sometimes the records confuse the name of wife

WILLIAM MACRANNEY, Springfield, married 1685, Margaret Riley, daughter of John Riley.

JAMES MACKRENEL, a soldier under Captain Turner, and so known to be Boston or Charlestown, killed at Northampton, 14 March 1676, by the Indians.

ARTHUR MACWORTH, Casco 1636, one of the most respected settlers of the early time, married Jane, widow of Samuel Andrews; but probably he had wife perhaps children before that union, when he lived at Saco, whither Willis thinks he came with Vines 1630, and where he served on grand jury 1640. He died 1657, leaving Arthur, John, and several daughters of who all would not be children of the widow Jane, who died at Boston 1676, though it may be difficult to discriminate those she bore to Andrews and to him. See Willis, I. 32, 75, 165. His daughter Rebecca married Nathaniel Wharff of the same.

FRANCIS MACY, married Sarah Norcross, daughter of Jeremiah Norcross of Watertown, but I know not whether he was ever in our country, and Bond, 376, was uncertain whether his name was Merry or Massey.

GEORGE MACY, Taunton 1643, was Lieutenant in Philip's war, Representative 1672 six years, died 17 August 1693, leaving several daughters (of who one was probably Elizabeth, who married 15 May 1672, John Hodges; another might be Rebecca, married 18 March 1690, Benjamin Williams) but no sons. Baylies, I. 287.

JOHN MACY, Nantucket, son of Thomas Macy, married Deborah Gardner, daughter of the first Richard Gardner, had Sarah, born 3 April 1677; Deborah, 3 March 1679; and Bethia, 8 April 1681; besides Thomas, John, Richard, Jabez, and Mary; and he died 14 October 1693; and his widow married Stephen Pease.

HENRY MADDOCKS, HENRY MADDOCK, HENRY MATTOCKS, or HENRY MADDOX, Saco 1683, swore fidelity that year to Massachusetts, removed to Boston, had wife Rachel, and daughter Rachel, born 24 July 1673, died soon; and again, Rachel, born 2 September 1677.

HENRY MADDOCKS, HENRY MADDOCK, HENRY MATTOCKS, or HENRY MADDOX, Watertown, married 21 May 1662, Mary Wellington, only daughter of Roger Wellington, had only child John, born 16 May 1663; and his widow married 16 September 1679, John Coolidge.

JOHN MADDOCKS, JOHN MADDOCK, JOHN MATTOCKS, or JOHN MADDOX, Watertown, son of Henry Maddocks of the same, married 23 Jun 1689, Ruth Church, daughter of Caleb Church, had Ruth, born 13 or 19 February 1691; John, 22 January 1693; Mary, 4 December 1694; Sarah, 22 December 1696; Henry, 18 October 1698; Caleb, 29 August 1700; and Joanna, 4 October 1702. He died 1 February after, and his widow married 25 July 1708, Joseph Child.

JOEL MADIVER, Casco, son of Michael Madiver, driven by Indians war, 1676, to Boston, there by wife Rebecca, had Mercy, born 12 August 1677; returned after the peace; and in the third war was killed by the French, August 1703. his son Joel lived at Falmouth.

MICHAEL MADIVER, Casco, was in the part called Perpoodick, now Cape Elizabeth, after 1658. See Willis, I. and II. But he owned land on West side of the Spurwink River which makes the East boundary of Scarborough, and there first lived. His inventory August 1670, was small. He married a widow Carter. See Southgate, 74. Often this name is found Madeford, and in Genealogical Registrar III. 194, becomes Madinde, and in V. 264, Maddine.

ELIAS MAGOON, ELIAS MAGOUN, ELIAS McGOWN, or ELIAS MAKOON, Duxbury, son of John Magoon the first, by wife Hannah, had David, born 1 November 1703; Mary, 24 March 1705; and Elias, 9 October 1707; Recompence; and Ruth; but perhaps his second wife Ruth was mother of this last. He lived in that part which was made Pembroke 1712, and about 1727 his will of 13 August probated 25 September of that year names wife Ruth and the son and daughters, son-in-law John Clark, perhaps husband of Mary. Of this stock was the late eminent shipbuilder of Medford.

HENRY MAGOON, HENRY MAGOUN, HENRY McGOWN, or HENRY MAKOON, Dover 1657-83, at Exeter took the oath of allegiance 1677, had sons Alexander and John.

JAMES MAGOON, JAMES MAGOUN, JAMES McGOWN, or JAMES MAKOON, Duxbury, eldest son of John Magoon of Scituate, by wife Sarah, had James, born 25 March 1697; Thomas; Isaac, who probably died young; and Sarah.

JOHN MAGOON, JOHN MAGOUN, JOHN McGOWN, or JOHN MAKOON, Scituate, before 1662, was among freeholders 1666, had married at Hingham, and had a daughter born 1663, whose name is not mentioned, but was, perhaps, Hannah; James, 25 June 1666; and at Scituate had John, born 1668; Elias, 1673; and Isaac, 1675. His will, of 20 May 1697, probated 27 June 1712, names wife Rebecca, eldest son James, the other three sons and daughter Hannah Loven.

JOHN MAGOON, JOHN MAGOUN, JOHN McGOWN, or JOHN MAKOON, Marshfield, son of the preceding, probably had John, and, perhaps, others.

JONATHAN MAGOON, JONATHAN MAGOUN, JONATHAN McGOWN, or JONATHAN MAKOON, Hingham 1657.

RICHARD MAGSON, Boston 1634, in the employment of James Everill, as the church record of his administration 2 October mentioned, but no more is known.

PURDY MAGVARLOW, PURDY MACVARLO, or PURDY MACFARLO, Hingham, married July 1667, Patience Russell, had several children of which probably was Margaret, who married 26 May 1690, David Stodder.

DERMIN MAHOONE or DORMAN MAHOONE, Boston 1646, of who I hear nothing but that by wife Deiner, or Dinah, he had Daniel, born 4 December 1646; and Honor, 29 October 1648; and his wife Dinah died 8 January 1657.

EZEKIEL MAINE, or EZEKIEL MAYEN, Stonington 1610, offered to be freeman 1673.

EZEKIEL MAINE, or EZEKIEL MAYEN, Stonington, son of the preceding, married 14 January 1689, Mary Wells.

JOHN MAINE, or JOHN MAYEN, Boston, in a petition to Andros and the council 1687, says that 30 years since he had purchased house and lands at what is now North Yarmouth, and when the Indians burnt his house and killed two of his sons-in-law, he and wife and rest of his family hardly escaped. 3 Massachusetts History Collection VII. 176. But he was of York in 1681, when his name is written with a y as he took oath of allegiance, and he died at Boston 27 March 1699.

GEORGE MAJOR, Newbury, from Isle of Jersey, says Coffin, took wife Susanna 21 August 1672, had Hannah, born 18 May 1673; and George, 20 November 1676.

THOMAS MAKEPEACE, Dorchester 1636, came with a large family Artillery Company 1638, married 1641, for his second wife Elizabeth, widow of Oliver Mellows, had Joseph, baptized 20 September 1646, who probably died before his father, removed some years later to Boston, and there died. In his will of 30 June 1666, he names eldest son Thomas, to whom he had before given house and land in England where he then lived, and William; eldest daughter Hannah, wife of Stephen Hoppin; Mary, wife of Lawrence Willis; Esther, wife of John Brown of Marlborough; and Waitawhile, wife of Josiah, not (as Genealogical Registrar V. 402, has it) Thomas Cooper, nine children of Hoppin, whose mother was Opportunity, four of Brown, and two of Cooper.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE, Boston, son probably of the preceding, married 23 May 1661, Ann Johnson, removed I suppose, to Taunton, for there the name was long kept up.

BENONI MAKREST, Salisbury, by wife Lydia Fifield, married 12 September 1681, had Samuel. born 3 September 1682, died at 2 months; Joseph, 28 August 1683; Benjamin, 16 November 1685; Lydia, 27 March 1688; and Mary, 15 April 1690; and he died 7 August 1690, leaving widow.

JOHN MALBON, Salem 1629, supposed to have skill in iron works, came in the fleet with Higginson, and probably went home next year.

RICHARD MALBON, New Haven, an early Assistant, but not, as Mather, II. cap. 12, carelessly writes, in 1637. See Winthrop 95 and 353. The daughter against who her father called for the perilous animadversion was named Martha. He removed or perhaps went home in 1648 or 9, and it had been better, if he had gone earlier. He was dead before May 1661.

ROBERT MALINS, Newport, married 1 January 1675, Patience Easton, daughter of Peter Easton, had Mary, born 21 October following; and Robert, 22 January 1677; and died 26 August 1679, and his widow married 7 June 1682, Thomas Rodman.

MALLARD THOMAS, Boston, Artillery Company 1685, perhaps removed to New Hampshire where the name occurs.

JOHN MALLORY, New Haven, son of the first Peter Mallory, married 30 December 1686, Elizabeth Kimberly, had John, born 6 September 1687; Elizabeth, 1 May 1691; Rebecca, 15 September 1693; Mabel, 19 December 1695; Silence, 13 October 1698; John, 1 March 1701; and Obedience, 11 April 1704.

PETER MALLORY, New Haven, signed the plantation covenant 1644, had Rebecca, born 18 March 1650; Peter, 27 July 1653; Mary, 28 October 1655, died soon; Mary, again, 28 November 1656; Thomas, 15 April 1659; Daniel, 25 November 1661; the last three baptized 12 July 1663, not 11 (which was Saturday), as the eminently untrustworthy church record tells; John, 10 May 1664, baptized I suppose, next Sunday, not Tuesday 17, by the wretched record; Joseph, born 1666; Benjamin, 4 January 1669; Samuel, 10 March 1673; and William, 3 September 1675.

PETER MALLORY, New Haven, son of the preceding, married 27 May 1678, Elizabeth Trowbridge, eldest daughter of James Trowbridge, had Peter, born April 1679, died young; Caleb, 3 November 1681; Peter, again, August 1684, died young; Elizabeth 27 April 1687; Judith, 2 September 1689; Benjamin, 3 April 1692; Stephen, 12 October 1694; Ebenezer, 29 November 1696; Zechariah, 2 May 1699; Abigail, 5 August 1701; Zipporah, 15 December 1705; and Peter, again, 1 March 1708.

THOMAS MALLORY, New Haven, brother of the preceding, married 26 March 1684, Mary Umberfield, had Thomas, born 1 January 1685, who died 21 July 1783, of course 98 years 6 months and 9 days old, magnified up to "one hundred and one years" in Cothren; and Daniel, 2 January 1687; besides Aaron, 10 March 1690; was a proprietor as also were his father and brothers Peter, Daniel, and John in 1685; but he died 15 February 1691. Often the second syllable has e, sometimes a

LUKE MALONE, or LUKE MALOON, Dover 1670, married 20 November 1677, Hannah Clifford, perhaps daughter of John Clifford first of the same, had Sarah, born 1679; Joseph; Samuel; Luke; Elizabeth; and Nathaniel; but dates are not seen, and order of births is unknown.

JOHN MALTBY, New Haven, married Mary Bryan, daughter of Richard Bryan of Milford, had John, born 6 June 1673; and Mary, was lost at sea, as in 1676 was concluded, and 10 June of that year his inventory of only £58 was brought in; yet he has the prefix of respect, and he was probably a valuable man. Mary married Reverend John Fordham.

WILLIAM MALTBY, Branford 1667, mariner, in 1673 was Cornet of the New Haven troop, had wife Elizabeth, but died 1701, and left descendants.

STEPHEN MANCHESTER, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, married 13 September 1684, Elizabeth Wodell, daughter of Gershom Wodell.

RALPH MANLY, Charlestown, probably came in the fleet with Winthrop, and died September 1630.

WILLIAM MANLY, Weymouth, by wife Rebecca, had Sarah, born 5 October 1675; in March following was soldier in Turner's Company, outlived the camp, and had Thomas, 11 July 1680; and by wife Sarah, had Rebecca, 6 March 1687; perhaps he removed to Boston, and was freeman of 1690.

ABRAHAM MANN, Providence 1676, was one of the few that did not remove in Philip's war. He took oath of allegiance May 1671.

FRANCIS MANN, Providence, of who I can only learn, that his daughter Mary married 6 April 1673, John Lapham.

JOHN MANN, Boston 1670, a baker, by wife Mary, had Joseph, born 30 June 1672.

JOSIAH MANN, a soldier probably from Boston or Charlestown, under Captain Turner, 1676, at Hadley.

NATHANIEL MANN, Boston 1670, perhaps brother of Josiah Mann, by wife Deborah, had William, born 19 February 1672.

RICHARD MANN, Scituate 1646, by Deane, 309, was reckoned a youth in Elder Brewster's family, who could claim to have come in the Mayflower, 1620; but I reject that supposition, for the person who had share with Brewster's lot in the division of cattle, 1627, was not Mann, but More. See Davis's Morton, 382; and Bradford gives the Mayflower Richard More to be countrf with the other heads, to Brewster, six in number, at the division of lands. He had Nathaniel, born 1646, and died about 1656; Thomas, 15 August 1650; Richard, 1652; and Josiah, 1654. The last was probably that soldier of who no more is known. Of Nathaniel, Deane says he lived in Scituate, left no family, gave estate 1680, to his brothers Thomas and Richard, yet refers to his Appendix II in which no more is found. But he may have been short time of Boston. Thomas saw hard fighting and was badly wounded in the Rehoboth day, when Pierce was ambushed; but lived to have four sons and three daughters of which descendants are yet seen. Richard had three sons and four daughters, I can feel no doubt, that this Mann should be More, or Moore. See that name.

SAMUEL MANN, Wrentham, only son of William Mann, had engagement to keep the school In Dedham one year for £20- "to be paid in corn at the current price," and continued several years in that honorable employment, married 13 by record or 19 May 1673, Esther Ware, daughter of Robert Ware of Dedham, who died 3 September 1784; and was freeman 1678; ordained 13 April 1692, in the place formerly part of Dedham, where he had preached many years, and died 22 May 1719. His children by the Wrentham record were Mary, born 7 April 1674; Samuel, 8 August 1675; Theodore, 8 February 1681; Thomas, 24 October 1682; Hannah, 12 June 1685; Beriah, 30 March 1687; Pelatiah, 2 April 1689; Margaret, 21 December 1691; and Esther, 26 June 1696; besides who were Nathaniel, and William, born after the settlement was broken up by Philip's war, and before his return, i. e. March 1676 and August 1680. All these six sons and five daughters were married. Of this family most have written but a single n in the name.

THOMAS MANN, Rehoboth, had wife Rachel, who died June 1676, and a child at the same time. He married 9 April 1678, Mary Wheaton, had Rachel, born 15 April 1679; Mary, 11 January 1681; Bethia, 12 March probably 1683.

WILLIAM MANN, Cambridge 1634-52, came, it is said, from Kent, born 1607, youngest of eleven children, married 1643, Mary Jarrad, or perhaps Mary Garrard, had share in the Shawshin division 1652, but possibly was of Providence 1641, as Farmer has it; yet he could not long have continued there. He had by first wife Samuel, before mentioned born 6 July 1647, Harvard College 1665; and married 11 June 1667, second or third wife Alice Teel, and died 7 March 1662. In his will of 10 December preceding, named no children but Samuel. Six of this name had, in 1819, been graduates at Harvard and nine at other New England colleges.

JOSEPH MANNERING, a passenger In the William and Francis from London, 1632, embarked in March and reached Boston 5 June, with Edward Winslow; but no connection with him is known, nor indeed is this name heard of for many years except by judgment of Court, 4 March 1634, it was found that he had not paid £5 on account of which Joseph Twitchell had been charged. Several whom we know to have been on board that ship could not have obtained leave from government.

OLIVER MANNERING, Salem, had Elizabeth, born 10 May 1685; and Sarah, 25 July 1687.

DENNIS MANNING, Nantucket, married 1678, Catharine Innis, but who she was, is unknown. Had Betty, born 10 July 1679; James, 20 January 1681; David, 2 April 1683; Dorcas, who married the second Nathaniel Barnard; William; Benjamin; Eunice, who married Thomas Newcomb; Dinah, who married 1717, William Stubbs; and Rebecca, who married 1719, Joseph Mott of Rhode Island.

GEORGE MANNING, Boston 1653, shoemaker, perhaps an original proprietor 1640, of Sudbury, married 15 July 1653, Mary Harraden; and another record tells that he married 13 March 1655, Hannah Everill, widow of William Blanchard, daughter of James Everill, had George, born 24 November 1655; Elizabeth, 19 March 1657, died young; Mary, 15 December 1659, died young; Elizabeth again, 13 October 1661; James, 6 March 1663; Hannah, 20 April 1665; Mary, again, 3 November 1666; Sarah, 19 March 1668; John, 11 October 1671; and Joseph, 6 November 1674.

JOHN MANNING, Boston, merchant, Artillery Company 1640, by wife Abigail, who died 25 June 1644, had John, born 25 May 1643; and Mary, 3 June 1644; and by wife Ann, daughter of Richard Parker, who joined our church 15 May 1647, had Ann, born 12, baptized 21 March 1652 (though the same record in Genealogical Registrar IX. 250, by repetition in another line on the same page, adds a day); and Ephraim, 10 August 1655. Ann married 1669, John Sandys.

JOHN MANNING, at Ipswich so early as 1634, I know no more of. But there the name was much diffused and so, I believe, it was at Norwich, England, whence came many puritans to our country.

NICHOLAS MANNING, Ipswich, probably son of Richard Manning, married 23 June 1663, Elizabeth, widow of Robert Gray of Salem, had Thomas, born 2 May 1664, died in few months; Nicholas, 15 September 1665, died under 2 years; Margaret, 25 February 1667, died in few days; and John, 28 May 1668. He had command of a vessel at Salem 1677, in 1681 had wife Elizabeth, was in 1688 appointed by Andros a Judge in the remotest Eastern part of his jurisdiction near Eennebec, and as one of his adherence, was next year imprisoned. Willis, I. 187.

RETURN MANNING, Boston, married at Hingham, December 1664, Sarah Hobart, probably daughter of Edmund Hobart the second of the same, had daughter Mary, remembered in the will of Hobart, but whence he came I find not. At Boston he had Sarah, born 7 April 1669; and Rebecca, 21 September 1670, and, perhaps, removed.

RICHARD MANNING, Ipswich, by wife Anstis, had Nicholas, born 23 June 1644; Richard, 22 June 1646; Anstis, 8 January 1655; Margaret, 9 October 1656; Jacob, 25 December 1660, who was of Salem, and died 24 May 1756; Thomas, 11 February 1665; and Sarah, 28 August 1667, who married 8 December 1686, John Williams of the same. Descendants are numerous.

SAMUEL MANNING, Billerica, son of the second William Manning, freeman 1670, was selectman 1680, Representative 1695 and 6, town clerk 6 years, died 22 February 1711, aged 66.

THOMAS MANNING, Ipswich 1636, perhaps elder brother of Richard Manning, died about 1668, aged 74.

THOMAS MANNING, Swansey, married 28 October 1674, Rachel Bliss, perhaps daughter of Jonathan Bliss.

THOMAS MANNING, a soldier of Ipswich, perhaps son of Thomas Manning the first, or more probably grandson, killed with the "flower of Essex" under Lothrop, 18 September 1675, at Bloody Brook, Deerfield.

WILLIAM MANNING, Cambridge 1634, freeman 13 May 1640, brought from England William, and probably other children, perhaps Timothy, who died 8 November 1653, was one. His wife Susanna was buried 16 October 1650, but when he died is not ascertained.

WILLIAM MANNING, Cambridge, son of the preceding, born in England, freeman 10 May 1643, by wife Dorothy, had Hannah, born 21 June 1642; Samuel, 21 July 1644, before mentioned; Sarah, 28 January 1646; Abigail, 15 January 1648, died at 4 months; John, 31 March 1650, who died of smallpox, 25 November 1678; and Mary. He was selectman 1667, and many years after sent, 1670, to England to induce Uriah Oakes to come over to be President of the College, says tradition. With more wildness than might have been expected of Cambridge people, who knew that vacancy did not occur by death of Chauncy until 1672. The gravestone that tells his death 14 March 1691, aged 76 years, may be truer, but I suspect some exaggeration, in that for his wife Dorothy, when it makes her 80 years at the death 26 July 1692. Sarah married 11 April 1671, Joseph Bull of Hartford; and Mary married 21 October 1674, Reverend William Adams of Dedham. In the Colleges of New England and New Jersey fourteen had been graduates 1834, of which ten were of Harvard.

WILLIAM MANNING, Nantucket, son of Dennis Manning, married 1726, Hannah Gorham, daughter of Shubael Gorham of Barnstable, had David, and Phebe, and died 20 July 1730. From Ormsby, in County Norfolk came, in 1637, aged 17, Ann Manning as servant of Henry Dow, says the record of his declaration before embarking as found at Westminster Hall.

ANDREW MANSFIELD, Lynn 1639, had been at Boston 1636, came from Exeter, in Devon, it is said, bringing son Andrew, born 1630; and, I suppose, wife Elizabeth Walton, daughter of Reverend William Walton, who died 8 September 1673, aged about 80 years by who probably he had other children as, perhaps, each of these following Joseph; John, who died 16 October 1671; Robert, who died 16 December 1666; Samuel; and Elizabeth. This last married 10 June 1675, Joshua Witt; and he died 1692, in 94th year. The will of his wife of 20 April 1667, probated 26 November 1673, is abstracted in Essex Institute History II. 125.

ANDREW MANSFIELD, Lynn, son of the preceding, born in England, was Representative 1680-3, Lewis says; by wife Bethia, had Bethia, born 7 April 1658, died at 14 years; Mary, 7 March 1660, died next year; Lydia, 15 August 1662; Deborah, 1 January 1667; and Daniel, 9 June 1669. He had second wife 4 June 1673, Mary Lawes, widow of John Neale, daughter of Francis Lawes, who died 27 June 1681; and he married 10 January 1682, Elizabeth Conant.

ANDREW MANSFIELD, Lynn, freeman 1691, may have been son of the preceding or of Robert Mansfield.

EBENEZER MANSFIELD, New Haven, son of Joseph Mansfield, married 20 April 1710, Hannah Bassett, but Mr. Porter names no issue.

JAPHET MANSFIELD, New Haven, youngest son of Joseph Mansfield, married 14 January 1703, Hannah Bradlee.

JOHN MANSFIELD, Boston, son of Sir John Mansfield, came in the Regard, 1634, sent out by charity, with his family as Winthrop 1. 150, tells. His widow mother died that year in London, at the house of Robert Keayne, whose wife was a daughter, and Elizabeth the wife of Reverend John Wilson was another, but he seems to have done little here besides worrying his brothers Wilson and Keayne, in the will of the last, most curious details being related for which see Genealogical Registrar VI. 156. Yet he gave something to the two children, and their father seems to have held on a long time, dying at Charlestown 1674.

JOHN MANSFIELD, Lancaster, son of the preceding, became a proprietor in 1654, had 500 acres given by his Aunt Ann Keayne, as Reverend John Wilson of Medfield testified 11 February 1675.

JOHN MANSFIELD, Lynn, perhaps younger brother of the first Andrew Mansfield, came in the Susan and Ellen, from London, 1635, aged 34, freeman 1643, may be the one who died 1671, above designated as perhaps son of Andrew.

JOHN MANSFIELD, Hingham, freeman 1684, in his will of 19 February 1689, probated 20 August following, names only wife Elizabeth Farnsworth, who was, perhaps, daughter of Joseph Farnsworth of Dorchester, and two children Mary, and John, born 15 November 1656, who had married Sarah Neal.

JOHN MANSFIELD, Windsor, married 13 December 1683, Sarah Phelps, daughter of Samuel Phelps, had John, born 13 September 1684, died at 6 years; Sarah, 5 January 1686; Samuel, 16 September 1687; Mary, 16 August 1689, and, perhaps, more.

JOSEPH MANSFIELD, Lynn, son of the first Andrew Mansfield, probably born in England, by wife Elizabeth, had Joseph, born 20 March 1661, and may have had other children earlier. She died 25 February 1662; and he was called senior, as Felt notes from the record when his daughter Deborah died 14 February 1678.

JOSEPH MANSFIELD, New Haven, son of Richard Mansfield, probably born in England, had Mary, born 6 April 1658; Martha, 18 April 1660; Mercy, 26 July 1662; Silence, 24 October 1664; Elizabeth, 20 September 1666; Comfort, 6 December 1668; John, 8 April 1671, died at 19 years; Joseph, 27 November 1673; Ebenezer, 6 February 1678; and Japhet, 8 July 1681; and died 15 November 1692. His widow Mary died 1701; is in the list of freeman 1669, and proprietor in 1685; in the Index of Trumbull, Colony record II, is named incorrectly, which is very seldom seen.

JOSEPH MANSFIELD, Lynn, son of the first Joseph Mansfield, married 1 April 1678, Elizabeth Williams, daughter of Isaac Williams of Salem, had Elizabeth, born 6 February 1679; twins born 25 October 1680, died soon; Joseph, 18 August 1681; and Sarah, 22 January 1684; freeman 1691.

MOSES MANSFIELD, New Haven, son of Richard Mansfield, born in England was a very valuable man in town business 1673, Lieutenant and Captain in the Indians war, Representative 1676 and 7, a proprietor in 1685, married 10 May 1664, Mercy Glover, daughter of John Glover, had Abigail, born 7 February 1665; Mercy, 2 April 1667; Hannah, 14 March 1669; Samuel, 31 December 1671, Harvard College 1690, who kept the grade school at New Haven some years, became a merchant, and died 1701, perhaps before his father; perhaps Moses, 15 August 1674; Sarah, 14 June 1677; Richard, 20 July 1680, died at 1 year; Bathshua, 1 January 1683; and Jonathan, 15 February 1686. He married second wife 8 November 1702, Margaret Prout, and had third wife Abigail Yale, daughter of the first Thomas Yale, and died 3 October 1703. His widow died 28 February 1708.

MOSES MANSFIELD, New Haven, son of the preceding, was a mariner, had a family Mr. Porter tells me, but gives no names.

PAUL MANSFIELD, Salem, signed the petition against imposts 1668. By wife Damaris, he had Damaris, born 12 August 1658; Ruth, 4 November 1662; Paul, 4 August 1664; Elias, 29 March 1667, who died in 4 months; Abigail, 28 June 1668; and Rebecca, 5 March 1674.

RICHARD MANSFIELD, New Haven 1643, perhaps earlier, died 10 January 1655, leaving widow Gilian, who married Alexander Field, and children Moses, and Joseph, before mentioned.

ROBERT MANSFIELD, Lynn 1642, may have been son of the first Andrew Mansfield, or more probably his brother, born in England, who had wife Elizabeth, son Andrew, and died 1666.

SAMUEL MANSFIELD, Lynn, perhaps son of the first Andrew Mansfield, married 3 March 1674, Sarah Barsham, had Andrew, born 4 January 1675; Sarah, 6 November 1676; and Bethia, 13 March, and he died 10 April following.

THOMAS MANSFIELD, Lynn 1642. One of this family name came in the Regard 1634, who was from Exeter, England, and was not found to be a desirable inhabitant, as mentioned by Winthrop I. 150. In 1834 four had been graduates at Harvard, six at Yale, and one at Amherst College.

ROBERT MANSIR, ROBERT MANSER, or ROBERT MANSUR, Charlestown 1678, a householder, of who I know no more.

MANSON, may or may not be found in New England before 1692, but as yet he been sought in vain. Yet in the Blessing, from London, 1635, there brought a Thomasin Manson aged 14, who may hare following her father.

EDWARD MANTON, Providence, son of Shadrach Manton of the same, married 9 December 1680, Elizabeth Thornton, daughter of John Thornton, freeman 1655, swore allegiance May 1682. was the only son of the three that had a son to perpetuate the name, and of his three sons, two daughter infants, while his son Daniel, at the age of 16, it is said, was the only male on this side of the sea with this surname. He left eight sons and three daughters all of who married, and had son and daughters.

SHADRACH MANTON, Newport 1668, swore allegiance 1 June of that year had, besides two others Edward; and Ann, who married 18 September 1682, John Keese.

NATHANIEL MANWARING, is by Whitman called of Artillery Company 1644, but his residence is unknown.

OLIVER MANWARING, New London 1664, in the tax list of 1666 his name is spelled Mannering, but the Colony record of 1669, when he was offered for freeman recovers his right; married Elizabeth Raymond, daughter of Richard Raymond, but Miss Caulkins in another place calls her Hannah, had Hannah, Elizabeth, Prudence, and Love, all baptized 1671; Richard, 13 July 1673; Judith, April 1676; Oliver, 2 February 1679; Bathsheba, 9 May 1680; Ann, 18 June 1682; and Mercy, whose baptism is not found, nor the births of any one; but of the five preceding the last we may be content with dates of baptisms. He died 3 November 1723, aged 90, when all those children were living, and the eight daughters married. Though Miss Caulkins gives not the names of any one except Love, who married John Richards; and it is said Elizabeth married 7 July 1686, Peter Harris.

JOHN MAPES, aged 21, came from Ipswich in the Francis, 1634; but this name is so very rare in our country, that unless he died in few years, we can hardly mistake in supposing he was of Long Island, where in 1662 goodman Mapes of Southold, was allowed to be made freeman of Connecticut. Perhaps he had first been of Salem, at least Dickinson, who was at the same time with him at Southold, had lived at Salem some years.

JOSEPH MAPES, Setauket, Long Island, 1655, says Thompson's History He may be the same or

WILLIAM MARBLE, Charlestown, or Malden, by wife Elizabeth, had Mary, born 10 April 1642; but perhaps he removed for Frothingham, in his list of 1658, does not include the name, nor do we see it among church members, though he was freeman 1654.

GEORGE MARCH, Newbury, brought by Stephen Eent, in the Confidence, as a servant, from Southampton, 1638, aged 16, and he may be though to be that freeman 1666, at Boston, whose name in Genealogical Registrar is printed Marg, who another eye, almost as practiced as Paige's, made Marcy, for thus Farmer's correspondent instructed him.

His will of 15 October preceding, mentioned his aged wife, four living children (being all, except Susanna, who had married George Barstow, and died not long after him) besides children of George Barstow, deceased, other grandchildren Lydia, Amos, John, and Jeremiah Fisher; also Thomas, Amos, Susanna, and John Marrett, who all appear to me children of John. Abigail had married 17 November 1641, Daniel Fisher of Dedham. The widow died 23 February 1665. His name in Colony record is Marryott; but in the town record slightly changed at any time from this adoption here, which is the uniform spelling of the church record.

ALEXANDER MARSH, Braintree, was freeman 1654, married 19 December 1655, I judge, Mary Belcher, daughter of Gregory Belcher, was Representative under new Charter 1692; died 7 March 1698, aged about 70 says gravestone. His will of 19 March 1697, probated 31 March 1698, mentioned wife Bathsheba, son John, daughters Rachel, Phebe, Ann, wife of Samuel French, besides granddaughter Mary French, son-in-law Dependence French, and Samuel Bass. His son John Marsh was then a minor, and father I believe, of John Marsh, Harvard College 1726. His widow died 8 January 1723, aged about 82, says the gravestone at Dorchester.

DANIEL MARSH, Hadley, son of John Marsh of the same, married 1676, Hannah Lewis, widow of Samuel Crow, daughter of William Lewis of Farmington; was freeman 1690, Representative under the new Charter in 1692, and often after, died 1725, aged 72. He had children but their respective names and dates are not given to me, other than of Joseph, Harvard College 1705, who was minister of Braintree, and died 8 March 1726, and had Joseph, Harvard College 1728, yet I find that Elisha, Harvard College 1738, first minister of Westminster, and Perez, Harvard College 1748, a physician of Dalton, were also his grandchildren.

EPHRAIM MARSH, Hingham, son of Thomas Marsh, married January 1682, Elizabeth Lincoln.

EZEKIEL MARSH, Salem, son of John Marsh of the same, signed petition against imposts 1668.

GEORGE MARSH, Hingham 1635, freeman 3 March 1636, died 2 July 1647, wife Elizabeth survived his will, made the same day, provides for her, sons Thomas and Onesiphorus, daughters Elizabeth Turner, and Mary Page. Reverend John, of Wethersfield, Harvard College 1761, S.T.D. (SACRAE THEOLOGIAE DOCTOR - OR DOCTORATE IN SACRED THEOLOGY) was a descendant.

JOHN MARSH, Charlestown 1638, died 1 January 1666, in his will made that day, names wife Ann, and her grandchild Sarah Bicknor, son Theophilus, and his son John, daughter Frances Buck, and her children.

JOHN MARSH, Salem, had grant of land 1637, but though I find neither his nor his wife's name in Felt's valuable list of early church members, yet I doubt not that he came in the Mary and John, 1634; and at Salem his children baptized were Zechary, 30 April 1637; John, 9 May 1639; Ruth, 5 May 1641; Elizabeth, 13 September 1646; Ezekiel, 29 October 1648; Bethia, 1 September 1650; Samuel, 2 October 1652; Susanna, born one says, 23, but baptized I think, 7 May 1654; Mary, 14 September 1656; Jacob, born 6 August 1658, baptized 10 April 1669; and a died 12 June 1664, whose name is not found. His will, of 20 March 1674, probated 26 November following, names wife Susanna, sons Zechary, Samuel, Jacob, Ezekiel, Benjamin, and daughter Bethia.

JOHN MARSH, Salem, probably son of the preceding, married 20 March 1662, Sarah Young, daughter perhaps of Christopher Young; had Sarah, born 1 December of unknown year; and Ruth, August 1668, and in the same month he died at Barbados. On 2 December 1669, his widow took administration.

JOHN MARSH, Hartford 1636, married Ann Webster, daughter of Governor John Webster, with him removed 1659 or 60 to Hadley; but before removing, had Joseph, baptized 24 January 1647, Isaac, for Mr. Porter assures me, that in l. 3 of page 197 of Genealogical Registrar XII, Boltwood, usually so accurate, is wrong, 15 July 1649; John, Samuel, Jonathan, Daniel, Hannah, and Grace. His wife died 9 June 1662, and he married 1664, Hepzibah Ford, widow of Richard Lyman of Northampton, daughter of Thomas Ford, and removed to Northampton and had Lydia. He died 1688. Grace married 16 January 1672, Timothy Baker. By will, 1676, of his brother Joseph Marsh at Braintree, County Essex, estate was given to these children and obtained by suit at law, so that I presume he came from that

JOHN MARSH, Hartford, eldest son of the preceding, married 1666, Sarah Lyman, daughter of Richard Lyman, and of the wife of his father had John, born 1668, and other children, freeman 1670, died 1727.

JONATHAN MARSH, Milford 1649, removed to Norwalk, one of the first settlers 1656, but not named after 1659, nor do we know whether he had wife or children.

JONATHAN MARSH, Hadley, brother of Daniel Marsh, married 1676, Dorcas, widow of Azariah Dickinson, had Jonathan, Harvard College 1705, who became minister of Windsor; was freeman 1690, Representative 1701, died 1730, aged 80.

ONESIPHORUS MARSH, Hingham, son of George Marsh, married 6 January 1655, Hannah Cutter, had

ONESIPHORUS MARSH, born 5 November following; Hannah, 28 Jun 1657, was freeman 1672, and of Haverhill, I think, in 1690, at least of the same name one had there so called his son.

SAMUEL MARSH, New Haven, had Mary, born 1648; Samuel, 12 February 1650; Comfort, 22 August 1652; all baptized 20 March 1653; Hannah, born 22 July 1655, baptized next month but not on the day mentioned in the church record; Elizabeth 27 December 1657, baptized February following on a day not truly given in church record; John, 2 May 1661, baptized next Sunday, probably for the careless church record gives a false date; Joseph, 1 April 1663; and probably removed.

SAMUEL MARSH, Hatfield, brother of Daniel Marsh, married 1667, Mary Allison; was freeman 1690, Representative 1705 and 6, died 1728, leaving several children.

SAMUEL MARSH, Salem, son of John Marsh, married 14 August 1679, Priscilla Tompkins, youngest child of John Tompkins, had Susanna, born 12 May 1680; John, 1 September 1681; Thomas, 18 September 1683; Sarah, 18 July 1685; and Margaret, 8 April 1688.

THOMAS MARSH, Hingham, son of George Marsh, born in England, married 22 March 1649, Sarah Beal, daughter of John Beal, and died 2 August 1658, leaving four children named in his will, Thomas; Sarah; Ephraim, born 11 July 1656; and Mary, 22 February 1658. his son John, born 20 February 1654, probably died young. His widow married 1 September 1662, Edmund Sheffield of Braintree.

ZECHARY MARSH, Salem, son of John of the same, married 15 August 1664, Mary Silsbee, daughter of Henry Silsbee, had John, born 26 September 1665; Mary, 8 December 1666; Zechariah; Elizabeth; Jonathan, 14 April 1672; and Ebenezer, 28 May 1674; was freeman 1680. Ten of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard, eleven at Yale, eleven at Dartmouth, and six at other New England colleges.

BENJAMIN MARSHALL, Ipswich, son of the first Edmund Marshall, married 1677, Prudence Woodward, had Edmund, Ezekiel, John, and four daughters, died 1716.

CHRISTOPHER MARSHALL, Boston 1634, single man on joining the church late in August of that year, freeman 6 May 1633, was of Cotton's party in the great schism of 1637, but not disarmed as a dangerous heretic, so that he was, perhaps, a student of divinity, and certainly married here, for his daughter Ann was baptized 13 May 1638, at our church adhered to Wheelwright at Exeter, and, with him, had dismissed January 1639, from our church, probably went home in 1640 or 1, and may be that man who Calamy says was partly educated by our Reverend John Cotton, minister of Woodkirk, in Yorkshire, and died February 1673, aged 59.

DAVID MARSHALL, Windsor, son of Captain Samuel Marshall, married 9 December 1686, Abigail Phelps, daughter probably of Samuel Phelps, had Abigail, born 9 January 1687; Hannah, 8 December 1689; and David, 14 April 1692, who died at 33 years.

EDMUND MARSHALL, Salem 1636, had there perhaps by wife Milicent, baptized Naomi, 24 January 1637; Ann, 15 April 1638; Ruth, 3 May 1640; Sarah, 29 May 1642; Edmund, 16 June 1644; and Benjamin, born 18, baptized 27 September 1646; was freeman 17 May 1637, lived about 1657, short time, at Gloucester, and removed either to Ipswich or Newbury.

EDMUND MARSHALL, Newbury, a shipwright, perhaps son of the preceding, had Edmund, born 5 October 1677; and John, 7 July 1682; but may have had older children before living at Newbury, and possibly removed to Suffield, there had Martha, 1685; and Elizabeth, 1689; for certain it is, that one of the name there lived and died, by his will, made in 1721, though not probated until a long time after, mentioned these children with others, John, Benjamin, Mary, and Abigail.

EDWARD MARSHALL, Warwick, by wife Mary, had Edward, born 10 April 1658; John, 12 May 1660; Thomas, 1 March 1663; Mary, 1 July 1666; Charles, 28 June 1668; and Martha, 16 March 1670.

EDWARD MARSHALL, Reading, by Mr. Eaton numbered among early settlers, may be the same who was freeman at Malden, 1690.

ELIAKIM MARSHALL, Boston, son of Thomas Marshall the shoemaker, removed to Stratford, and in 1665, sold his estate in Boston, but came back in few years, was of Lothrop's Company in Philip's war, and killed at Bloody Brook, 18 September 1675.

ELIAKIM MARSHALL, Windsor, father of Captain Samuel Marshall, married 23 August 1704, Sarah Liet of Guilford, if that be correct name in Stiles, 1693, had Dorothy, born 1 October 1705; Sarah, 27 June 1709, probably died soon; Sarah, again, 29 January 1711; Mary, 14.Mar 1715; and Eliakim, 15 July 1720, died in few days.

FRANCIS MARSHALL, Boston, master mariner, came in the Christian from London, 1635, aged 30, was living in 1659.

JAMES MARSHALL, Windsor 1640, was from Exeter, in Devon, did not long continue and, perhaps, was the man, expected in vain, to settle at New Haven 1643, where his estate was valued at £1,000, his family of five heads, and his lot, transferred to Richard Mansfield. He sold his Windsor estate and may be that "rich merchant" referred to in Winthrop I. 150.

JOHN MARSHALL, Duxbury, had been of Leahorn, in County Kent, son and heir of Sybil Marshall, by who description in November 1631, he enters into contract of marriage with Mary Partridge, eldest daughter of Reverend Ralph Partridge of Sutton, near Dover, to whom and his brother Jervase Partridge, citizen and cordwainer of London as trusted he made conveyance of estate in County Kent, as jointure of his wife if she outlived him. This instrument with a bond in the penal sum of £200 to secure, etc. are record in Volume III. of our Sufolk Register of Deeds; but it is curious, that these documents were not recorded here before January 1661, some years after. The Reverend Ralph Partridge, who in his will notices Robert Partridge and John Partridge, sons of his daughter Mary Marshall.

JOHN MARSHALL, Boston, came, perhaps, in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, from London 1635, aged 14, by wife Sarah, had John, born 10 December 1645; Thomas, 11 May 1656; Benjamin, 15 February 1661; and Christopher, 18 August 1664.

JOHN MARSHALL, Billerica 1659, freeman 1683, had John, who was probably the freeman at Billerica 1690.

JOHN MARSHALL, Boston, a mariner from Barnstaple, County Devon, died 1662; and his brother Thomas Marshall of Alwington, in Devon, took administration of his estate in England, and in 1670, claimed and obtained the assets from John Sweete, who was administrator here.

JOHN MARSHALL, Boston, called “a Scottishman,” by wife Ruth, had James, born 29 September 1659; Mary, born 2 January 1661; John, 2 October 1664 (who was a mason of Braintree, kept that valuable Diary, formerly quoted often by Dr. TM Harris, who procured it for the Historical Society as Fairfield's); Thomas, 6 February 1666; Samuel, 14 July 1669; and Joseph, 14 April 1672; was probably the freeman of 1671, and died November 1672. His widow Ruth married Daniel Fairfield.

JOHN MARSHALL, Braintree, son of the preceding, married 12 May 1690, Mary Sheffield, widow of Jonathan Mills, daughter of Edmund Sheffield, had Deborah. In the Diary, sub 25 December 1700, John writes "brother Thomas Marshall came to Boston to visit, after being absent 17 years and 1/2, tarried three weeks and returned". Whence he came for this visit to his native town, must be inquiry but can hardly be answered.

JOHN MARSHALL, Boston 1681-4, had an office under the Colony government with salary of £13 a year, may have been freeman 1690, and died 1694.

JOHN MARSHALL, Windsor, youngest son of Captain Samuel Marshall, by wife Abigail, who died 29 February 1698, had Abigail, born 10 December 1693, who died in few weeks; and Hannah, 16 April 1695.

PETER MARSHALL, Newbury, with prefix of respect, by wife Abigail, had Thomas, born 1 July 1689; and Ruth, 31 December 1690; perhaps removed to Boston.

ROBERT MARSHALL, Salem 1637, perhaps soon removed to New Hampshire, as one of the name died there in 1663.

ROBERT MARSHALL, Plymouth, son of John Marshall, grandson of Reverend Ralph Partridge, married 1659, Mary Barnes, daughter of John Barnes, had John; Robert, born 15 August 1663; and, perhaps, more.

ROBERT MARSHALL, Boston 1668, merchant, may be the same as the preceding or not.

SAMUEL MARSHALL, Windsor, son of Thomas Marshall, the shoemaker of Boston, born in England, was a tanner, by Stiles, in History 692, made to own lot a dozen years too early, and Representative in 1637, magistrate in 1638, when he never gained either of those honors. Thomas Marshall was mistaken for this Samuel, who married 6 May 1652, Mary Wilton, only child of David Wilton, not Wilson, as Genealogical Registrar V. 229 prints the name, had Samuel, born 27 May 1653; Lydia, 13 February 1656; Thomas, 23 April 1659, died soon; David, 24 July 1661; Thomas, again, 18 February 1664; Mary, 8 May 1667, about at nine years; Eliakim, 10 July 1669; John, 10 April 1672; and Elizabeth, 27 September 1674. He was freeman 1654, and in the war against Philip had short but most honored service. On 30 November he was made a Captain in place of Benjamin Newbury, who was disabled, for the projected winter campaign, and on 19 December 1675, in the great swamp fight, the hardest ever known in New England, he was killed with many of the men under him. His widow died 25 August 1683. Lydia married 24 September 1676, Joseph Hawley of Northampton, where the oldest son lived while the others continued at Windsor.

SAMUEL MARSHALL, Barnstable, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, who died 2 August 1690, and father and mother had died the month preceding.

SAMUEL MARSHALL, Charlestown, freeman 1690, says the record but Budington has not given his name among church members.

SAMUEL MARSHALL, Northampton, oldest son of the brave Captain Samue Marshalll, married 1675, Rebecca Newbury, daughter of Captain Benjamin Newbury of Windsor, had Mary, born 1676, died soon; Samuel, 1679; Abigail, 1682; Sarah, 1685; Preserved, 1691; Lydia; and Mercy; was freeman 1690.

THOMAS MARSHALL Dorchester 1634, freeman 6 May 1635, removed it is thought to Windsor; was Representative in March and April 1638; but no more is knowm with certainty. In Stiles, History 698, he is said to marry 2 March 1637, Mary Drake, who may have been daughter of the first John Drake; and we might suppose, from the same line, the same man married 10 May 1660, Bethia Parsons, but the darkness is palpable, upon the same page, where he teached that Thomas Maskell married that day that same woman; and great distrust springs up, when we see him, page 735, give the same woman, the same day, to Thomas Haskell.

THOMAS MARSHALL, Boston, shoemaker, or ferryman, or both, called widower on administration to the church 31 August 1634; freeman 4 March 1635, had brought from England probably sons Thomas and Samuel, daughters Sarah and Frances; and here by second wife Alice, had Eliakim, born 1 March 1637, yet not baptized until 15 April 1638, no doubt on account of the antinomian quarrel in the church for acting with the major part of which in support of Wheelwright, he was required in November 1637 to surrender his arms; but like most of the rest, thus abused, regained high esteem, was selectman 1647-58, Deacon, and Representative 1650, and died perhaps 1663. Frances married 16 July 1652, Joseph Howe; and Sarah married James Penniman. Great indulgence must be granted to investigation about this name, for another

THOMAS MARSHALL, Boston 1643, a tailor, administered of the church 17 February 1644, had Thomas, baptized 7 January 1644, 5 days old; freeman in May of same year probablym and in June following was excommunicated, I think he went to New Haven, after recovering in 1646, the favor of his former fellow-worshippers.

THOMAS MARSHALL, Reading, came, probably in the James from London 1635, aged 22, had Hannah, born 7 June 1640; Samuel, 1 September 1643, died in one week; Abigail; Sarah, died young; Thomas and Rebecca, twins 20 February 1648; Elizabeth; Sarah, again, 14 February 1655; was freeman 1653, a Lieutenant, and after very long deliberation by me, is thought to be that man of Lynn, always called Captain, who there had Joanna, 14 September 1657; John, 14 February 1660; Ruth, 14 August 1662; and Mary, 25 May 1665; was of Artillery Company 1640, and, perhaps, freeman 4 June 1641; certainly Representative 1659, 60, 3, 4, 7, and 8; died 23 December 1689; and his widow Rebecca died August 1693. Hannah married at Lynn, 17 June 1659, John Lewis; Sarah married 15 July 1674, Ebenezer Stocker; and Mary married 7 April 1685, Edward Baker. Lewis seems to me, to have confused father and son and to have misled Farmer. See page 92 of Lewis, Ed. 2nd. But for what John Dunton, in Life and Errors, says of this Captain having been one of Cromwell's soldiers, I am compelled to suspect, that the author mistook his jolly host, or that the veteran designedly imposed on him.

THOMAS MARSHALL, Middletown 1669, then offered as freeman, may have had Thomas, Joel, and Mary, who married 27 July 1665, John Cutlin, but it is not certain.

THOMAS MARSHALL, died at Northampton, 3 June 1663, but we are sure he was only a casual visitor.

THOMAS MARSHALL, Andover, ought to have more told of him than is found in Farmer, that he died January 1708, almost 100 years old, and that Joanna died there in May following, aged about 100. Perhaps it was his daughter Mary who married 6 July 1659, Robert Russell.

THOMAS MARSHALL, Charlestown 1684, who gains this place, as does he of Salem 1637, on authority of Barry.

THOMAS MARSHALL, Hartford, had sister Mary Marshall, who married John Catlin, but who was their father is not ascertained. He had Mary, born 10 May 1670; John, 24 February 1672; William, 21 April 1674; Thomas, 3 October 1676; Elizabeth, 23 October 1678; Sarah, 27 March 1681; and Benjamin, 22 February 1684; and died 1692. His son Thomas, a mariner, married after the date of his will, 15 February 1697, Mary Chantrel of Boston, spinster, and she had it probated 19 September 1700, as his widow in which he gave memorandum to his sister Elizabeth spinster, and brother Benjamin, and uncle John Catlin, all of Hartford, as he also styles himself, but all resided to his beloved French Mary Chantrel.

THOMAS MARSHALL, Windsor, son of Captain Samuel Marshall, married 3 March 1686, Mary Drake, daughter probably of John Drake of the same, had Thomas, born 14 January 1687, died young; Mary, 21 February 1689; Samuel, 23 July 1691; Thomas, 6 February 169-4; Rachel, 12 April 1696; Catharine, 11 April 1699; John, 3 April 1701; Noah, 24 April 1703, died young; Daniel, 1705; Benjamin, 8 August 1707, died in few months; and Eunice, 3 May 1709.

WILLIAM MARSHALL, Salem 1638, had then, says Felt, grant of land. He probably came in the Abigail, 1636, from London, aged 40.

WILLIAM MARSHALL, Charlestown, married 8 April 1666, Mary Hilton, daughter of William Hilton, who died 13 July 1678, aged about 33, had William, and Mary, baptized 4 February 1672, she having joined the church a few days before; John, 20 April 1673; Edward, 16 April 1676; and; by second wife Lydia, had Samuel, baptized 31 August 1684; Hannah, 25 September 1687. Twelve of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at New England colleges, half of them at Harvard, three at Yale, and two at Dartmouth.

DANIEL MARSHCROFT, DANIEL MASHCROFT, or DANIEL MASCROFT, Roxbury, married 23 May 1665, Mary Gorton, daughter of John Gorton, probably lived in some other place, there had Elizabeth, until death of the father of his wife, after which I find in the records of Roxbury, Hannah, born 6 May 1677; but perhaps he removed again to some neighboring town, and had Samuel, brought to baptism with Mehitable, 3 February 1684, when we see in record of births only that of the death 28 February before. He had also Mary, whose birth is not known, but she died 8 June 1688; and he died perhaps before middle age, and his will dated 30 June 1703. Elizabeth married at Roxbury 18 March 1700, Samuel Spencer; and Hannah married 16 July 1701, Samuel Frost. But both the husbands were, I suppose, of another town.

JOSIAH MARSHFIELD, Springfield, son of Samuel Marshfield, married 22 September 1686, Rachel Gilbert, daughter of Jonathan Gilbert, had six children born at Springfield, was freeman 1690, and after 1700 removed to Hartford, there had a son born 17 March 1704.

SAMUEL MARSHFIELD, Springfield, son of Thomas Marshfield, born in England, married 18 February 1652, Esther Wright, daughter of Deacon Samuel Wright, had Mercy, born 10 June 1653; Thomas, 6 September 1654, both of who died young; Sarah, 2 February 1656; Samuel, 1659, died young; Hannah, 1661; and Abilene, 2 April 1664. His wife died next day, and he married 28 December 1664, Catharine Chapin, widow of Thomas Gilbert, daughter of Samuel Chapin, and had been widow first of Nathaniel Bliss, had Josiah, 29 September 1665; Esther, 6 September 1667; and Margaret, 3 December 1670; was a proprietor of Westfield 1666, but never lived there; Representative 1680, 3, and 4, sheriff of the County, and died 8 May 1692. Sarah married 1676, William Holton, junior; Hannah married Joseph Bedurtha; Abilene married Thomas Gilbert; Esther married Ephraim Colton; and Margaret married Ebenezer Parsons.

THOMAS MARSHFIELD, Windsor, may be thought to have removed with Warham, from Dorchester, but no certainty is reached by inquiries unless the conjecture be adopted that he and first Thomas Marshall were the same person. The first that can positively be learned is by a letter from him, as Marshfield, to Samuel Wakeman, 6 May 1641, on page 12 of our Volume I of Register of Deeds, strange as the place is, where an extract is inserted by Governor Winthrop, and next year he withdrew from the country, as by Connecticut record 14 October 1642, when the Court appointed trustees to manage his estate for use of the creditors. Perhaps he was lost at sea, but at least no more was ever heard of him. His widow and family removed to Springfield, the children being Samuel, before mentioned; Sarah, who married Thomas Miller, and another daughter.

BENJAMIN MARSTON, Salem, son of John Marston, married 25 November 1678, Abigail Verin, daughter probably of Hilliard Verin, had Abigail, born 28 August following, Representative 1696, was, I presume, father of Benjamin Marston, Harvard College 1689, a man of distinction.

EPHRAIM MARSTON, Salem, son of John Marston, by wife Elizabeth, had Ephraim, born 24 May 1673; and Samuel, 2 November 1676.

EPHRAIM MARSTON, Hampton, son of Thomas Marston, married 19 February 1678, Abigail Sanborn, daughter of John Sanborn, took oath of allegiance 1678, as also did, in the same town, the same year.

ISAAC MARSTON, JAMES MARSTON, and WILLIAM MARSTON, who, perhaps, were his brothers or cousin of who

ISAAC MARSTON married 23 December 1669, Elizabeth Brown, daughter of John Brown, had Caleb, born 19 July 1672; Abigail, 25 December 1673, died in six months; Elizabeth, 30 April 1675; Mary, 18 April 1677; Sarah, 6 November 1680; Abigail, again, 7 May 1682; and Bethia, 6 July 1687.

JACOB MARSTON, Andover, married 7 April 1686, Elizabeth Poor, had Jacob, who died 31 March 1688; and John, who died 20 November 1700; probably Mary, who married 1 December 1680, Stephen Parker, was his sister and possibly Hannah, who married 2 January 1689, Benjamin Barker; and Sarah, who married 24 May 1692, James Bridges, all at Andover, may have been.

JAMES MARSTON, Hampton, son probably of Thomas Marston, by wife Dinah Sanborn, had Abigail, born 17 March 1679, who married 5 August 1701, John Prescott of Hampton, and died 14 November 1762; and Ann, 16 February 1681, who married 30 December 1702, Nathaniel Prescott, and died 30 December 1761.

JOHN MARSTON, Salem, came 1637, aged 20, as servant of widow Mary Moulton, from Ormsby, County Norfolk, was a carpenter, freeman 2 June 1641, had baptized John, 12 September 1641; Ephraim, 10 December 1643; Manasseh, 7 September 1645; Sarah, 19 March 1648; Benjamin, 9 March 1651, before mentioned; Hannah, April 1653; Thomas, 11 October 1655; Elizabeth, 30 August 1657; and Abigail, 10 April 1659; besides Mary, 23 March 1662. His wife was Alice. He died 19 December 1681, aged 66, says the gravestone.

JOHN MARSTON, Barnstable, married 1 July 1657, Martha Lombard, daughter of Bernard Lombard, had John, born about 15 June 1658; and George, about 4 October 1660; removed to Swansey, there, by wife Joan, had Melatiah, 31 August 1673.

JOHN MARSTON, Andover 1667, perhaps was father of Jacob, and Mary, Hannah, and Sarah, above mentioned, and of John; but means of certainty are beyond our reach, and all we know is that he had wife Martha, was freeman 1691, and that his daughter Sarah married 24 May 1692, James Bridges of Andover.

JOHN MARSTON, Salem, probably son of the first John Marston, married 5 September 1664, Mary Chichester, perhaps daughter of William Chichester, who died 25 May 1686, aged 43, by the inscription on the gravestone; was freeman 1671; had John, born 26 July, 1666, died soon; John, again, 2 September 1667; Mary, 14 January 1670; James, 28 November 1672; Sarah, 8 October 1675; and Margaret, 25 December 1677.

JOHN MARSTON, Andover, probably son of John Marston of the same, married 28 May 1689, Mary Osgood, daughter of Christopher Osgood, had John, who died 25 January 1694; John, again, 13 May 1699; and, perhaps, others. His wife died 5 April 1700, having suffered in the delusion of 1692, imprisoned as a witch.

MANASSEH MARSTON, Salem, brother of Benjamin Marston, was a blacksmith; freeman 1677; Captain, Representative 1691, died 1705, he married 23 August 1667, Mercy Pierce, had Mercy, born 23 June 1669, died soon; Benjamin, 30 July 1670; Samuel, 20 December 1674, died soon; Samuel, again, 17 March 1676, died soon; Mercy, again, 7 August 1677; Mehitable, 14 May 1682; Lydia, 7 January 1684; and Susanna, 29 April 1687. But the mother of the last two is called Mary.

THOMAS MARSTON, Salem 1636, freeman 2 June 1641, removed to Hampton as one of the first settlers, was husband of Mary Estow, daughter of William Estow of Hampton, and probably father of Ephraim, perhaps of Isaac, James and William, as well as of Mary, who married 1 January 1681, the second William Sanborn, unless one or more were children of William; Representative 1677.

WILLIAM MARSTON, Salem 1637, perhaps brother of Thomas Marston, had grant of Iand that year but was of Hampton 1640, and back to Salem in few years, by wife Sarah, had there baptized Hannah born 1 September 1655, Sarah (who died 19 July 1665), and Elizabeth, all on 10 April 1659; Mary, born 2 April 1661; Deliverance, 15 July, baptized August 1663; and William, 19 September 1665; removed to Newbury, yet probably for short time, and so to Hampton, again, where he was freeman 1666; there about 30 June 1672, according to Coffin, who says his wife was Sabina Page, daughter of Robert Page, and that he left five children Thomas, William, John, Tryphena, and Prudence Cox. Deliverance married 27 December 1680, Thomas Cooper.

WILLIAM MARSTON, Hampton, son of the preceding, married Rebecca Page, had Mary, who married 6 March 1695, James Prescott.

ABRAHAM MARTIN, Hingham 1635, a weaver, at Rehoboth 1643. His will was probated 9 September 1669.

AMBROSE MARTIN, Weymouth 1638, Concord 1639, had Joseph, born 8 November 1640; and Sarah, 27 October 1642. Winthrop I. 289.

ANTHONY MARTIN, Middletown, married 10 or 11 March 1661, Mary Hall, daughter of Richard Hall, had Mary, born 1 January following, died soon; John, 17 March 1663; Mary, March 1667; and Elizabeth, 3 August 1671; and died 16 November 1673, leaving widow.

CHRISTOPHER MARTIN, Plymouth, a pilgrim of the Mayflower, was of Billericay, in County Essex, came with wife, two servants Solomon Prower, and John Langemore. All died shortly, the servant Solomon before landing 24 December 1620, and the husband 8 January following.

GEORGE MARTIN, Salisbury, blacksmith, by wife Hannah, who died soon, had Hannah, born 1 February 1644; married 11 August 1646, second wife Susanna North, daughter of Richard North, had Richard, 29 June 1647; George, 21 October 1648; John, 26 January 1651; Esther, 7 April 1653; John, again, 2 November 1656; Abigail, 10 September 1659; William, 11 December 1662, died very soon; and Samuel, 29 September 1667. Hannah married 4 December 1661, Ezekiel Worthen; and Esther married 15 March 1670, John Jameson. Of one Susanna Martin (I know not whether this wife of George), executed for witchcraft 1692, the monstrous proceeding is well exhibited in Essex Institute II. 135.

JOHN MARTIN, Charlestown 1638, freeman 13 May 1640, by wife Rebecca, had Sarah, baptized 9 September 1639; Mary, 14 March 1641; John, 1 May 1642; and by wife Sarah, had Mehitable, born 1 October 1643.

JOHN MARTIN, Dover 1648, of the grand jury 1654, married Esther Roberts, daughter of Thomas Roberts, was freeman 1666, but in 1673 was in Jersey.

JOHN MARTIN, Barnstable, married 1 July 1657, Martha Lombard, daughter of Bernard Lombard, had John, born June 1658; George, October 1660; and Desire, 1 January 1663. He removed to Martha's Vineyard.

JOHN MARTIN, Swansey, had John, born 15 March 1675, and the Colony record transcription of Swansey records gives him by wife Joan, daughter Joanna, 15 February 1683.

JOHN MARTIN, Rehoboth, married 27 June 1681, Mercy Billington, daughter of Francis Billington, as I infer, had John, born 10 June 1682; Robert, 9 September 1683.

JOHN MARTIN, Middletown, son probably of Anthony Martin, had wife Elizabeth, who died 26 July 1718. His children were John, who died young, 14 March 1687; Nathaniel, born 17 March 1688; Elizabeth, 24 September 1689; John, 4 April 1692; Ebenezer, July 1694; Daniel, October 1697; Hannah, 23 May 1699; and Mary, 31 May 1701.

JONATHAN MARTIN, Farmer, in MS says, was of New Hampshire, and freeman 1668, of which I find not the evidence.

MICHAEL MARTIN, Boston, mariner, married 12 September 1656, Susanna Holyoke, daughter of Mr. Edward Holyoke of that part of Boston called Rumney Marsh, had Michael, born 10 February 1660.

RICHARD MARTIN, Casco 1646, married a widow Atwell, perhaps was of Scarborough, freeman 1668, died early in 1673, his will of 11 January being probated in April of that year. In it he teaches us that he had wife Dorothy, son-in-law Robert Corbin and his wife Lydia, and gives to Benjamin Atwell, who probably had married another wife perhaps deceased, for he also gives to grandchild Joseph Atwell, and this Joseph, in 1679, then only eight years old, is called only heir. He brought from England two daughters of who Lydia married Robert Corbin, and possibly the other was Mary, executed at the age of 22, in Boston, for murder of her illegitimate child as told in Winthrop II. 302. See also, Willis, I. 134.

RICHARD MARTIN, Boston, merchant, married 1 February 1654, Sarah Tuttle, daughter of John Tuttle of the same, had Mary, born 7 June 1655; Sarah, 2 July 1657; and married about 1660, second wife Elizabeth Gay, daughter of John Gay of Dedham, had John, born 2 August 1661; Richard, 24 March 1663; Elizabeth and Mary, twins 15 April 1665, perhaps both died; Elizabeth again, 25 July 1667; Abigail, 14 November 1669; and a posthumous child Lydia, 8 February 1672. He died between 19 July, the date of a deed to serve for his will, and 6 November 1671, when administration was given to his wife. Perhaps he came in the Elizabeth and Ann, from London, 1635, aged 12, and may have been brother of John Martin of Boston.

RICHARD MARTIN, Charlestown, a Captain, died 2 November 1694, aged 62, and his widow Elizabeth died 7 January 1726, aged 84, say the gravestones; but he had probably not lived there most of his days, for the list of householders in 1678, Frothingham, 183, though it gives the prefix of respect, tells not the baptized name, but indicates barely Mr. Martin's, and there is reason to think it did not mean either John's or Thomas's, and Coffin authorizes the conjecture that he was of Newbury, had Richard, born 8 January 1674. A former wife Elizabeth died 6 October 1689; and the second married 28 November following was widow of Joshua Edmonds.

ROBERT MARTIN, freeman of Massachusetts 13 May 1640, was, perhaps, of Weymouth then, soon removed to Rehoboth 1643, and Swansey.

ROBERT MARTIN, New Haven, had Mary, baptized perhaps 24 May 1646; John, 28 May 1648; and Stephen, perhaps 13 May 1652, but for the first and last wrong days are given in the record of church. Genealogical Registrar IX. 361.

SAMUEL MARTIN, Wethersfield 1646, went to New Haven, and married the widow Brace, but this may have been before his permanent settlement at Wethersfield, at least in the church seating 11 March 1647, at New Hampshire ,brother and sister Martin are mentioned. Her name was Phebe Bisby, daughter of Mr. Bisby of London, who provided for her and children buying estate at Wethersfield. He had son Samuel; and, perhaps, Richard; went to London 1652, soon returned, served in Philip's war as a Lieutenant and in October 1677, had a grant of 50 acres "to him and his heirs forever, prohibited him the sale of the same, or any alienation thereof from his heirs," showing us that his courage was valued higher than his thrift. He died 15 September 1683.

SAMUEL MARTIN, Andover, married 30 March 1676, Abigail Norton, had Samuel, who died 1 February 1683; was an Ensign, and died 16 November 1696.

SOLOMON MARTIN, Gloucester, ship-carpenter, came in the James, I presume, 1635, from London, aged 16, married 21 March 1643, Mary Pindar, daughter of Henry Pindar, had Samuel, born 16 April 1645; and Mary, 9 January 1648. His wife died 9 February following, and he married 18 June next, widow Alice Varnum of Ipswich, perhaps removed to Andover, at least sold his Gloucester estate in March 1651, and next year was freeman of Andover.

THOMAS MARTIN, Charlestown 1638, freeman 22 May 1639, perhaps removed to Cambridge, there by wife Alice Ellet, married 1 June 1650, had Abigail, born 22 August 1653; may have been of New London 1666, having prefix of respect, at least was not householder at Charlestown 1658.

THOMAS MARTIN, Boston, mariner, married 1670, Rachel Farnham, daughter of John Farnham.

WILLIAM MARTIN, Reading 1641, one of the earliest selectmen, freeman 1653, perhaps removed to Groton, there died 23 March 1673, his wife Mary, who had been widow Lakin, having died 14 August 1669, made provision of his will dated 6 March before, probated 1 April after, more liberal. To his wife's children William and John Lakin, to the children of William Lakin, and to sister Allen and her children except Hannah, are bequests, to three neighbors, release of debts, and £10 is given to the town for purchase of a bell for the meeting-house. Fifteen of this name, says Farmer, MS, had, in 1834, been graduates at the colleges of New England but as at Harvard was none, I think he may have included those who spelled the last syllable with y, two being, early at Harvard with this form, as very often in some records are the preceding found. Uniform use of that letter probably belongs only to the New Hampshire family.

EDWARD MARTYN, New Hampshire, 1674, may have been son of John Martyn of Dover.

RICHARD MARTYN, Portsmouth, was one of the founders of the First Church there 1671, Representative 1672 and 9, speaker of the house, and a counsellor of the Province 1680, died 2 April 1694. He had Richard, born 10 January 1660, Harvard College 1680; Elizabeth, 31 July 1662; Hannah, 2 January 1665; Michael, 3 February 1667; John, 9 June 1668; and Elias, 18 April 1670. He married second wife Mary Symonds, widow of John Denison, daughter of Honorable Samuel Symonds of Ipswich, and third wife was Mary, widow of Samuel Wentworth.

RICHARD MARTYN, Portsmouth, son of the preceding, was a school-master, and preacher, but probably did not wish for settlement, but died 6 December 1690.

SAUNDERS MARTUGAL, swore 9 May 1667, as freeman of Connecticut. If Trumbull has correctly given the odd name in Colony record II. 8. What town he lived at is unknown but in 1669, as this name is not among the freeman of any town, it may be thought he was dead or removed.

JOHN MARVIN, Lyme, eldest son of the second Reynold Marvin, married 7 May 1691, Sarah Graham, daughter of Henry Graham or Henry Grimes, had Sarah; Mary; John, born 9 August 1698; Elizabeth; Joseph, 1703; Benjamin; Mehitable; and Jemima; and died 11 December 1711. His widow married Richard Sears, and died 14 December 1760, aged 90.

JOHN MARVIN, Norwalk, son of the second Matthew Marvin, married 22 March 1704, Mary Beers, had John, born 22 July 1705; Nathan, 4 March 1708; Seth, 13 July 1709; David, 24 August 1711; Elizabeth, 23 October 1713; Mary, 20 December 1716; and Elihu, 10 October 1719. His wife died 17 April following and on 27 April 1721, he married Rachel St. John, daughter of Matthias St. John, and had Hannah, 4 December 1722; Joseph, 20 May 1724; Rachel, 24 December 1725, died in two days; Benjamin, 14 March 1728, died in three days; Rachel, again, 27 March 1729; Sarah, 18 May 1733, died in three days; and Ann, 7 September 1741.

MATTHEW MARVIN, Hartford 1638, an original proprietor came in the Increase, 1635, from London, aged 35, a husbandman, with wife Elizabeth, 31, and child Elizabeth, in the custom-house record called 31, probably by error for 11; Matthew, 8; Mary, 6; Sarah, 3; and Hannah, 6 months. He was one of the original grantees of Norwalk, and settled there 1653, Representative next year, at Hartford he had Abigail, born before 1641; Samuel, baptized 16 February 1648; and Rachel, 30 December 1649; and died 1687. Elizabeth married John Olmstead, survived him and made her will 15 October 1689; Mary married 11 October 1648, Richard Bushnell of Saybrook, and in 1680, Deacon Thomas Adgate as second husband, had children by each, and died 29 March 1713, aged 84; Sarah married October 1648, William Goodrich of Wethersfield; Hannah married January 1654, Thomas Seymour; Abigail married 1 January 1657, John Bouton; and Rachel married Samuel Smith.

MATTHEW MARVIN, Norwalk, son of the preceding, born in England, freeman 1664, by wife Mary, had Matthew; Sarah; Samuel; Hannah; John, born 2 September 1678; and Elizabeth; besides others, for in 1672 he counted six children; was Representative 1694 and 7. Of the children our account is imperfect, as so frequently found in the third generations. Matthew married Rhoda, daughter of Mark St. John, and had one daughter Mary, born 7 October 1689, and he died 1691; Sarah married January 1681, Thomas Betts; Samuel was Representative 1718, and left descendants by sons Samuel and Matthew, and had also Josiah; Hannah married Epenetus Platt; John is before mentioned; and Elizabeth married 6 November 1700, Joseph Platt. I think Mary Marvin who married Daniel Benedict of Norwalk may be a daughter.

RENOLD MARVIN, REYNOLD MARVIN, REINOLD MARVIN, REGINALD MARVIN, or RAINOLD MARVIN, Hartford 1639, not an original proprietor, was probably younger brother of the first Matthew Marvin, removed to Farmington, soon after to Saybrook, freeman 1658, died 1662, between 13 May, the date of his will, and 28 October that of his inventory in that year, leaving only Reynold, and Mary, perhaps both born in England to enjoy good estate. Mary married William Waller of Saybrook.

REYNOLD MARVIN, Lyme, son of the preceding, probably born in England, freeman 1658, was Deacon, Representative 1670, 2, 3, 4, and 6 in which year he died. By wife Sarah Clark, daughter of George Clark, he had John, born 1665; Reynold, 1669; and Samuel, 1671; besides Mary and Sarah, whose dates are unknown, as also all else, except that Mary married Richard Ely of Saybrook. The gravestone tells of his military rank. His widow married Joseph Sill or Scill, the distinguished soldier, survived him, and was living 28 May 1702. Descendants are very numerous.

REYNOLD MARVIN, Lyme, son of the preceding, by wife Phebe, had Phebe, born 3 December 1636; Reynold, January 1702; Lydia, 12 January 1704; Esther, 3 April 1707; and his wife died 21 October following. In 1708 he married Martha, daughter of Thomas Waterman of Norwich, had Martha, born 3 April 1710; Elisha, 26 September 1711, died young; James, 26 May 1713; Sarah, 8 March 1716; Elisba, again, 8 March 1718; and Miriam, March 1720. He was Deacon and Captain, and died 18 October 1737. From him, through his ninth child descends Theophilus R. Marvin, Esquire, of Boston.

SAMUEL MARVIN, Lyme, brother of the preceding, married 5 May 1699, Susanna Graham, daughter of Henry Graham, or Henry Grimes, had Samuel, born 10 February 1700; Zechariah, 27 December 1701; Thomas, 4 March 1704; Matthew, 7 November 1706; Abigail, 13 September 1709; Elizabeth, 1 June 1712; Nathan, 21 November 1714; Nehemiah, 20 February 1717; Mary, and twin sons who both died soon; was Representative 1711 and 22, and died 15 March 1743.

THOMAS MARVIN, Newbury, died 28 November 1651, Coffin tells, and tells no more. In a hundred years from 1747, eight of this name had been graduates at Yale.

JOHN MASCALL, JOHN MASCOL, or JOHN MASKELL, Salem, married March 1649, Ellen Long, had baptized John, 23 February 1651, who was born 25 December preceding; Stephen, born 15 February baptized 13 March 1653; Mehitable, 15 May, baptized 3 June 1655; Thomas, born 14 August 1657; James, 16 March baptized 26 May 1662; and Nicholas, 14 April baptized 5 June 1664; was freeman 1678, or possibly 1671, where the name is Maskor in the list.

JOHN MASCALL, JOHN MASCOL, or JOHN MASKELL, Salem, son of the preceding, married 6 October 1674, Esther Babbege, perhaps daughter of Christopher Babbage, had John, born 5 August following; Stephen, 21 May 1677; Sarah, 20 April 1687; and Benjamin, 15 August 1699, as in Essex Institute II. 298 is told.

ROBERT MASCALL, ROBERT MASCOL, or ROBERT MASKELL, Boston 1640, in the family of William Pierce, went home and had letters of dismissal from our church 5 July 1646, to church at Dover, England.

THOMAS MASCALL, THOMAS MASCOL, or THOMAS MASKELL, Windsor, where it is written Maskell, married 10 May 1660, Bethia Parsons (his claim to her seemed to me better than Thomas Haskell's or Thomas Marshall's, yet see Stiles, 698 and 735), had Bethia, born 6 March 1661; Thomas, 19 March 1662, died soon; Abigail, 17 November 1663; Thomas, again, 2 January 1666; John, 19 November 1667; Elizabeth, 19 October 1669; and he died 1671. His widow married 8 August 1672, John Williams. Hinman, 52, 53 and 153 means one only.

ARTHUR MASON, Boston, married 5 July 1655, Joanna Parker, daughter of Nicholas Parker, had Ann, born 10 August 1656, died at 1 year; Mary; Abigail; David, 24 October 1661; Joanna, 26 March 1664; Arthur, 16 April 1666, died soon; Alice, 26 June 1668; Arthur, again, 18, baptized 31 January 1674; Jonathan, baptized 23 April 1676, died at Dorchester, 9 March 1723; and Lucy, or, as record of baptism is Lois, 11 August 1678. It is somewhere said, that he came 1639, and I will not controvert it; but he was only 77 at his death 4 March 1708. The wife had died 2 January 1708. He was a constable, and well disposed to magnify his office, for amusing proof of which see Hutchinson I. 254; wrote his name with ss. Mary married November 1678, Reverend John Norton of Hingham; Joanna married a Perry; Alice married Samuel Shepard; his son Arthur, who was a mariner, married 26 June 1701, Mary, daughter of Sampson Stoddard, who died 19 September 1746.

DANIEL MASON, Watertown, youngest son of Hugh Mason of the same, studied for a professor, and went as surgeon of a vessel from Charlestown, of who James Ellson of that town was master, in 1678 or 9, was captured as tradition tells, by an Algerine corsair, and probably died in Barbary.

DANIEL MASON, Stonington 1673, son of Major John Mason, removed that year to New London or Norwich, married Margaret Dennison, daughter of Edward Dennison, for who he obtained liberty to come to Roxbury to her relations in the early spring of 1676, and for this year to dwell there, his son Daniel, born 26 November 1674, was baptized at Roxbury 9 April in that year, and after her return probably she died, and he at Hingham, married 10 October 1679, Rebecca Hobart, daughter of Reverend Peter Hobart. He was that year school master at Norwich, removed thence to Lebanon, and finally to Stonington, there died 1736. By a second wife he had Hezekiah, 3 May 1677, though the copious and exact family genealogy could not furnish the name, either baptism or surname; yet the deficiency is well supplied by the last, --- Peter, 9 November 1680; Rebecca, 10 February 1682; Margaret, 21 December 1683; Samuel, 11 February 1686; Abigail, 3 February 1689; Priscilla, 17 September 1691; and Nehemiah, 24 November 1693; all at Stonington. His wife died 8 April 1727. See Genealogical Registrar XV. 119.

EDWARD MASON, one of the early settlers at Wethersfield, of who no more is known, except that in 1640, after death, his inventory of a good estate is found in the records but no family is heard of.

ELIAS MASON, Salem, had there baptized Sarah, and Mary, 23 May 1647; Hannah, 14 January 1649; Martha, 18 May 1651; and Elias, 29 May 1653. His wife Jane died 9 November 1661, and his will of 1 May 1684, probated 13 June 1688, mentioned wife Elizabeth and no children, but Sarah, wife of John Robinson, with grandchild John; and Mary, wife of George Cox, with grandchild George. Emma Mason, a widow of Eastwell, County Kent, who came in the Hercules, 1635, and had grant of land 1637, at Salem, may have been his mother though no children In the ship's list of passengers is given.

HENRY MASON, Scituate 1643, perhaps removed to Dorchester, and may be the freeman of 1650, after 1656 a brewer in Boston, who died 1676, and in his will of 6 October of that year probated next month, mentioned wife Esther Howe, daughter of the first Abraham Howe, no children, and cousin i. e. niece Mary Eliot, daughter of Joseph Eliot.

HUGH MASON, Watertown, a tanner, came in the Francis, from Ipswich, County Suffolk, 1634, aged 28, with wife Esther, 22, freeman 4 March 1635, had Hannah, born 23 September 1636; Elizabeth, 3 September 1638, died young; Ruth, buried 17 December 1640; Mary, born 18 December 1640; John, 1 January 1645; Joseph, 10 August 1646; Daniel, 19 February 1649, probably Harvard College 1666; and Sarah, 25 September 1651; was Representative 1644, 5, 60 and often later to 1676 and 7; in 1632 a Captain, and died 10 October 1678, and his widow died 21 May 1692. Hannah married 17 October 1653, Joshua Brooks of Concord; Mary married 20 May 1668, Reverend Joseph Estabrook; and Sarah married the same day Captain Andrew Gardner of Muddy River.

HUGH MASON we may be led to inquire the residence by the passage in Drake's History of Boston, 418, of expedition into the Indians country, 1676, by one of this name, when we may justly presume, that our Watertown Representative was too old for such severe duty.

JACOB MASON, Boston, son of Ralph Mason, probably the instrument maker, of who Judge Sewall notes the death 9 February 1695, by wife Rebecca, had Elizabeth, born 29 July 1671, died soon; Elizabeth again, 23 April 1676; Hannah, 25 May 1678; Jacob, 23 April 1680; Rebecca, 24 August 1681; and Joseph, 9 February 1684.

JOHN MASON, the patentee of New Hampshire by whose published spirit, though he never came in person to our country, so much was effected in its settlement that he well deserves mention in this work, died 26 November 1637, leaving only child Jane to inherit his vexatious principality. She married John Tufton, Esquire, had John Tufton, who died without issue, as is told by Farmer, and Robert Tufton, who took the name of Mason.

JOHN MASON, Dorchester, thought though by some to have come 1630, with Winthrop probably came early in 1632, was in December of that year sent as Lieutenant with 20 men against a pirate at the East, for which in July following he was paid £10, and became Captain in November after. Was first on the list of freeman 4 March 1635, and distinguished then by title of Captain, Representative 1635 and 6, and this year removed with Warham to Windsor, of great service in military and civil life, finished the Pequot war, in 1637, being in chief commander, Representative 1637 to 41, then Assistant to 59, then Deputy-Governor for eight Major-Generals, and commissioner for the Congress of New England 1647, 54, 5, 6, 9, and 61. From Windsor he removed 1647 to Saybrook, thence to first settlement of Norwich 1659. By first wife who died at Windsor, we know not of any children. But he took second wife in July 1639, named Peck, and had, perhaps, Isabel; certainly Priscilla, born October 1641; Samuel, July 1644; John, August 1646; Rachel, October 1648; Ann, June 1650; Daniel, April 1652; and Elizabeth, August 1654; and died at Norwich 30 January 1672, in 72d year. All that the diligence of Prince, the annalist, could gather to prefix to his History of the Pequot War may be read in 2 Massachusetts History Collection VIII. 122; and later inquiry adds little; yet in Sparks's Amer. Biog. Volume III. of 2nd Series, is a copious biography of the great Captain, written with much felicity, by the Reverend George E. Ellis. Isabel married 17 June 1658, John Bissell of Windsor; Priscilla married 8 October 1664, Reverend James Fitch; Elizabeth married 8 May 1671, Thomas Norton; Ann married John Brown of Swanzey, and Rachel married 12 June 1678, Charles Hill, as his second wife. Through Daniel Mason, the youngest son the late Honorable Jeremiah Mason derived descentants.

JOHN MASON, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1655, was, perhaps, of Westerly in 1669.

JOHN MASON, Watertown, an early settler, perhaps elder brother of Hugh, was a Captain, died 10 October 1678, in 73d year by the gravestone.

JOHN MASON, Dedham, son of the first Robert Mason, married 5 May 1651, Mary Eaton, daughter probably of John Eaton, had Hannah, baptized 15 July 1655; John, 23 August 1657; and another daughter 25 August 1661.

JOHN MASON, Salem, bricklayer, 1661, may be he who married at Charlestown 30 January 1659, Ann Colliham.

JOHN MASON, Concord, who died 10 March 1667, had married 11 December 1662, Hannah Ramsden, and his children were John, born 14 May 1664, and Hannah.

JOHN MASON, Norwich, son of famous Major John Mason, freeman 1671, Representative 1672 and 4, in Philip's war was a Captain, had before been a merchant dangerously wounded in the great Narragansett fight, 19 December 1675, chosen an Assistant in May 1676, but 18 September following died of his wounds, leaving widow Abigail Fitch, probably daughter of Reverend James Fitch, and children John, and Ann. John Mason, the son furnished to Prince the History of the Pequot war in MS by his grandfather.

JOHN MASON, Dorchester, a tanner, was son of Sampson, married Content Wales, daughter of John Wales, died 18 March 1683, aged 26, says the inscription on his gravestone; he was brought up by John Gornell, and had part of his estate.

JOHN MASON, Hartford, died 19 February 1698, leaving good estate for these children, Mary, then aged 20; Hannah, 17; John, 13; Joseph, 10; Abigail, 7; Jonathan, 4; and Lydia, 1.

JOHN MASON, Boston, merchant came a 1678, from London, married Sarah Pepper, daughter of Robert Pepper, had Sarah, born 25 August 1681; Susanna, 19 March 1687; Samuel, 31 July 1689; Jonathan, 4 January 1692; Abigail, 12 April 1693; Benjamin, 23 December 1695; and John, 1 November 1697. He died between 12 July 1698, the date, and 29 September following when probate of his will was made. His son Benjamin Mason is counted the progenitor of the late Honorable Jonathan Mason of United States Senate.

JOHN MASON, Cambridge village now Newton, son of Hugh Mason of Watertown, freeman 1690, was a Lieutenant, selectman, by wife Elizabeth Hammond, eldest daughter of Lieutenant John Hammond, had John, born 22 January 1677; Elizabeth 10 November 1678; Abigail, 16 December 1679; Samuel, 22 January 1690; Hannah, 26 January 1696; and Daniel, 10 November 1698; wife died 1714, and he died about 1720.

JOSEPH MASON, Portsmouth, in 1667, conveyed his estate to brother Robert Mason of Sulham, County Berks, in tradition, for his three daughters, probably he had been of Hampton 20 years earlier.

JOSEPH MASON, Watertown, son of Hugh Mason, married 5 February 1684, Mary Fiske, daughter of John Fiske, had Mary, born 2 May 1685; Esther, 8 July 1686; Joseph, 2 October 1688; and Sarah, 17 November 1691; was freeman 1690, and died 22 July 1702. His widow died 6 January 1725.

NICHOLAS MASON, who married at Saybrook 11 May 1686, Mary Dudley, daughter probably of William Dudley. One Nicholas Mason, perhaps from the East was at Northampton, a soldier, 1676, in Captain Turner's Company.

NOAH MASON, Rehoboth 1675, was, perhaps, son of Sampson Mason. His wife Martha died 6 February 1676, and he married at Taunton, 6 December 1677, Sarah Fitch, had Noah, born 17 December 1678; John, 28 November 1680; Mary, 12 December 1682.

RALPH MASON, Boston, came in the Abigail, from London, 1635, was a joiner of Southwark, aged 35; with wife Ann, 35, the age perhaps carelessly inserted, and children Richard, 5; Samuel, 3; and Susan, 1; had here Zuriel, born 11 April 1637; John, 15 October 1640; Jacob, 12 April 1644; and Hannah, 23 December 1647. But his will of 11 January 1673, probated 23 January 1679, names only aged wife and the children Richard, Samuel, Susanna, John, and Jacob. Susanna married 14 December 1659, William Norton.

RICHARD MASON, Boston, probably son of the preceding, married 20 November 1660, Sarah Messenger, daughter of Henry Messenger, had Sarah, born 3 September 1661; Jacob, 17 October 1662; Simeon, 23 March 1664; and John, 9 March 1671.

ROBERT MASON, Roxbury, where his wife died April 1637, removed to Dedham, there died 15 October 1667. His sons John, Robert, and Thomas, who may all have been born in England, had administration of his estate.

ROBERT MASON, Boston, by wife Sarah Reynolds, daughter of Robert Reynolds, had Robert; Sarah, born 20 August 1657; Nathaniel, 23 December 1659; Philip, 16 July 1662; and Elizabeth, 29 July 1669. He was freeman 1673.

ROBERT MASON, Medfield 1664, son of Robert Mason of Dedham, married Abigail Eaton, daughter probably of John Eaton.

ROBERT MASON, Portsmouth, grandson of the patentee, named by the King, a counsellor of the Province in 1680, died 1688, leaving sons John Tufton Mason, and Robert Tufton Mason to keep up the righteous but useless claim.

ROBERT MASON, Roxbury, married 18 November 1680 or 2, Elizabeth Chandler, who died 1688, had Robert, born 12, baptized 20 January 1684; Elizabeth, who died 1686; and John, baptized 3 July 1687, died in few days.

SAMPSON MASON, Dorchester 1651, shoemaker, had probably Sampson, who served in Philip's war; and John, born about 1656; was of Reboboth 1657, Swansey 10 years later; a Baptist who after his removal permitted his son John to be overage for baptism 23 September 1660, by John Gornel, though himself was in his judgment opposed to that ordinary administration to children, and he lived to September 1676. See Bliss, 48. Of this man, Benedict, in History I. 427, speaks, I believe, though he calls him Samuel, when he relates, that he was soldier on the Parliament side, in the great civil war, in the army became a Baptist and here was one of the chief founders with Myles, of the church at Swansey, the first in Massachusetts. He had, perhaps, son Samuel, inhabitant of Rehoboth many years later, and others, as Sampson, Joseph, and Noah.

SAMUEL MASON, Boston, son of Ralph Mason, born in England, married 29 May 1662, Mary Holman, daughter of John Holman of Dorchester, had Mary, born 19 April 1663; Ann, 4 Jul 1665; Thomas, 6 December 1668; Samuel, 18 April 1671; John, 29 January 1674; and Joseph, 24 November 1678. He was freeman 1669.

SAMUEL MASON, Stonington, son of Major John Mason, had wife Elizabeth, and children Ann, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Harriet; was Lieutenant in 1673; Assistant in 1683. For the name of the last death, suspicion was felt, and the family genealogy supplies one, Hannah, more consistant with our fathers’ precision. Yet even the diligence of Chancellor Walworth could not find the name of the first wife that bore him John, 19 August 1676; Ann; and Sarah; nor give dates to the daughters. The second wife Elizabeth Peck of Rehoboth, whose father I seek in vain, married 4 July 1694, had Samuel, 26 August 1695, died young; Elizabeth, 6 May 1697; and Hannah, 14 April 1699. He died 30 March 1705, and his widow married Gershom Palmer.

SAMUEL MASON, Rehoboth, son probably of Sampson Mason, married 2 March 1682, Elizabeth Miller, had Samuel, born 9 June 1683.

STEPHEN MASON, one of the first counsellors named in the new Charter, who William and Mary allowed Increase Mather to fill, was a merchant of London, prompt in friendship for us, though he never came to New England, yet Hutchinson II. 15, supposes him "from mere respect and gratitude" to be inserted. At the first election our people were not prevented by respect and gratitude from leaving him out, as they did several others of the creatures of Mather. One Stephen Mason, however, is put into Whitman's list of Artillery Company 1686, but I doubt the correction.

THOMAS MASON, Watertown 1637, perhaps removed to Hartford before 1651, and thence in 1656 to Northampton, had wife Clemence, and only child Samuel, who was killed by the Indians 25 August 1675, and he died 1 December 1678. His widow married 2 December 1679, Deacon Thomas Judd, and died 22 November 1696.

THOMAS MASON, Salem, by wife Christian, had Susanna, born 22 August 1687, and I see nothing more of him.

THOMAS MASON, Dedham 1642, probably son of the first Robert Mason, born in England, married 23 April 1653, Margery Partridge, had John, born 3 November 1655; and Mary, 8 February 1658, lived in that part which became Medfield, and was killed by the Indians 21 February 1676. His house was burned I presume, at the same time. Several of his descendants have been graduates at Harvard, and the number at all the New England colleges 1884, was twenty-seven, fourteen of which at Harvard College, among them Thaddeus, 1728. Died in 92d year 1 May 1806.

JEFFREY MASSEY, Salem, one of the first members of the church there, freeman 14 May 1634, was clerk of the market 1642, died 9 or 25 November 1676, aged about 84; had John, born 1631, who by Dr. Bentley was called the first born male of the town; but Felt differs from that judgment, though the cradle in which he was rocked was long admired, and perhaps acknowledged as proof. His wife survived as is inferred from the mentione by the son in June 1680, in rendering administration account of the estate of his father that his mother was dead.

JOHN MASSEY, Salem, son of the preceding, freeman 1668, married 27 April 1658, Sarah Wells, had Jeffrey, born 14 May 1664, baptized 30 July 1665; and John, 6 October 1665; besides Thomas, 5 December 1667, and Daniel, who both died young; Sarah, born 25 July 1669, who married Miles Ward; and Thomas, again, 8 or 22 March 1674, died young. He kept the ferry to Beverly, in which office his son John, who perhaps in 1687 lived at Roxbury, and by wife Sarah Wells, daughter of Thomas Wells of Ipswich, had Ann, born 11 October of that year succeeded 1701, and the senior died 1 September 1710.

ABRAHAM MASTERS, Cambridge 1639, probably son of John Masters, but may have been grandson.

GILES MASTERS, Boston, died 29 February 1688. He probably had lived here but very short day, and with no sympathy towards our people, as in Sewall's Diary, he is described merely as "the King's attorney."

JOHN MASTERS, Cambridge, perhaps came in the fleet with Winthrop, freeman 18 May 1631, with prefix of respect, a man of skill and enterprise, died 21 December 1639, and Jane, his wife died five days after his will, made two days only before he died, abstracted in Genealogical Registrar II. 180, names daughter Sarah Dobyson, or Sarah Dobson, but we know nothing of her or her husband; daughter Lydia Tabor, perhaps wife of Philip Tabor; grandchild John Lockwood, probably by his daughter Elizabeth, son of Edmund Lockwood; Abraham and Nathaniel Masters, whom I judge to be sons and grandsons, and gives residue of estate to daughter Elizabeth, wife of Cary Latham.

JOHN MASTERS, Salem, married 17 July 1678, Elizabeth Ormes, had John, born 24 September 1681, who died with his mother in September of next year and by wife Dores, he had Elizabeth last of July 1684; John, again, 15 February 1687; Jonathan, 10 November 1689; and Samuel, 1 October 1693.

NATHANIEL MASTERS, Beverly 1659, who married Ruth Pickworth, daughter of John Pickworth, seems to be son of Abraham Masters, and grandson of the preceding one of this family was of Cambridge, when the Shawshin division of land was made in 1652.

NATHANIEL MASTERSON, York, son of Richard Masterson, had lived early at Salem, at Boston 1660, and at several other places, with Reverend Ralph Smith, his father-in-law, was marshal or sheriff in 1665, imprisoned by the royal commission for upholding the right of Massachusetts and restored to his office by Leverett and the other agents of Massachusetts 1668, when the people returned to allegiance under our Colony. Hubbard, 593.

RICHARD MASTERSON, Plymouth 1630, came probably the year preceding, a Deacon of the "goodly company of the Pilgrims at Leyden" before the death of Reverend John Robinson, 1625, chosen probably 1620, when Governor Carver, Elder Brewster, and Samuel Fuller, who had, I suppose, all been predecessors in that office, embarked for New England in the Mayflower. He brought wife Mary Goodall, named Goodall, of Leicester, in the document at Leyden, as married 26 November 1619; children Nathaniel, before mentioned, and Sarah, who married John Wood, or Atwood. The widow married Reverend Ralph Smith. It has been doubted, whether the Deacon ever came to this country, but the doubt relies, I suppose, mainly on the negative fact of mentione of him being hardly found, and yet we know from Bradford, that he died at Plymouth in the great sickness 1633. In 1649, Mary Smith, their mother gave to Nathaniel Masterson and his sister Sarah, wife of Atwood, her right in "a house in Leyden, in Holland, sometime appertaining to my deceased husband Richard Masterson."

ATHERTON MATHER, Dorchester, son of Timothy Mather, removed to Windsor, married 20 September 1694, Rebecca Stoughton, daughter of Thomas Stoughton, and by her William, born 2 March 1698; and Jerusha, 18 July 1700; his wife died, and by second wife Mary, he had Joshua, 26 November 1706; Richard, 31 March 1708; Mary, 2 March 1711; removed to Suffield, there had Thomas, 5 April 1713; Eliakim, 10 July 1715; and Catharine, 5 January 1718, who died at 15 years; and he died 9 November 1734.

COTTON MATHER, Boston, eldest son of Increase Mather, freeman 1680, when he was only 17 years old, so that he came forward with strange rapidity (having joined the church of his father 31 August 1679), which is the more striking, as his father was never administered freeman that we find; and if his course at College were full one, he must have entered at 11 1/2 years. More than two or three have been ministers in Boston younger than he; but with less sagacity than his father he was ordained at 2nd church, colleague with him 13 May 1685; distinguished as a scholar above most of his contempary but known in modern days chiefly as author of the Magnalia in seven books, London 1702, a work of no little value, and more curious than valuable, died 13 February 1728. He married 4 May 1686, Abigail Phillips, daughter of John Phillips of Charlestown, who died 28 November or as town record says, 1 December 1702, having borne to him nine children of which five died young, three before baptized, and he married 18 August 1703, Elizabeth Clark, daughter of Dr. John Clark, widow of Richard Hubbard, mariner, with a good estate, had six more children of who Reverend Samuel Mather, born 30 October baptized 3 November 1706, Harvard College 1723, attained no humble share of celebrity; and she died 18 November 1713. He next married 5 July 1715, Lydia Lee, daughter of Reverend Samuel Lee, widow of John George, who long survived on 3 January preceding. He had written to Colman, saying he had "no manner of prospect of returning unto" the married state; though "I have no doubt foolishly enough been ready to fall into this weakness." Hardly any more curious letter can be found in the Genealogical Registrar See V. 60. In less than a year after his marriage with this daughter of Lee, her sister Catharine, by sudden death of her husband Henry Howell, was left with two children of two and three years of age, to which in evil hour, Mather was appointed guardian, and suffered much anxiety in consequence. See 4 Massachusetts History Collection II. 122. Twelve of his children with dates of baptisms and names, are in the appendix to Reverend Chandler Robbins's History of the 2d Church, but six of them are by the second wife. In the pious labor of his son Reverend Samuel Mather, on the biography of his father, he is more copious than exact. The most agreeable of all the copious writings of Mather, will, perhaps, be found in some apologues designed to magnify the merits of his father in obtaining the new Charter for which however, little favor was found in the mind of Calef. They may be seen in 3 Massachusetts History Collection I. 126, 133. But his epistolary exercises are most frequently referred to, and they are very numerous. As the sample of big style, and also highly illustrated the politics of the day, that his father was too much engaged in for the larger part of his life, the reader will gladly turn to the letters in 1 Massachusetts History Collection III. admonishing Governor Dudley by father and son each, as if in rivalry, more venomous than the other.

ELEAZER MATHER, Northampton, son of Richard Mather, was the first minister at Northampton, ordained 18 June 1661, married 29 September 1659, Esther Warham, youngest daughter of Reverend John Warham, had Eunice, born 2 August 1664; Warham, 7 September 1666, Harvard College 1685; and Eliakim, 22 September 1668; and died 24 July 1669, only 3 months after his father. His widow married Reverend Solomon Stoddard, successor of her husband, outlived him, and died 10 February 1736, in her 92d year. Eunice married Reverend John Williams, and was killed by the Indians the day after the Captain of Deerfield by them and their French allies, 29 February 1704; Eliakim died before mature age; but the other child, freeman of Massachusetts 1690, after some years preaching, and many years teaching school, sat down at New Haven, was Judge of Probate Court, and there died 12 August 1745.

INCREASE MATHER, Boston, youngest brother of Eleazer Mather, having taken at Harvard his A.B., went at 18 years of age to his brother Samuel Mather at Dublin, and studied there for his A.M. in 1658, preached in several places, as County Devon and Isle of Guernsey, leaving the latter after the restoration, but returned at the end of August 1661, to New England, and on 8 September uttered his first sermon on our side of the water in that church where he served about 60 years, though he was not ordained until 27 May 1664. He was chosen President of the College 1685, and filled the office until 1701, when the increase of dissatisfaction long prevailed at his refusal to give up his pulpit in Boston, and reside at Cambridge, compelled his resignation. Next year he feared the glory of New England was departing, and that the College under direction of Willard of the Old South Church should "become a nursery, not of plants of renown, but of degenerate plants, who will forsake those holy principles of truth," etc. etc. But his talents had new scope in the intermediate time, for in the last dangerous year of Sir Edmund Andros, he was sent in disguise, on board a ship, to intercede with King James, and sailed 7 April 1688, being absent from his College duties, on political engagement until 14 May 1692, when Sir William Phips, the Governor of his own nomination, landed with him, bringing the new Charter of William and Mary. Unhappily the desire to manage state affairs ever after possessed him, and lessened his usefulness, besides embittering his life. He died 23 August 1723, and was buried 29, with the greatest marks of esteem and affection. He married 6 March 1662, Mary Cotton, sometimes spelled Maria Cotton, daughter of famous John Cotton, who died 4 April 1714; had Cotton Mather, Harvard College 1678, before mentioned, born 12, baptized 15 February 1663; Maria, 7, baptized 19 March 1665; Elizabeth, 6 January baptized 3 February 1667; Nathaniel Mather, Harvard College 1685, 6, baptized 11 1669, whose great promise of distinguished talents was cut off 17 October 1688, at Salem; Sarah, 9, baptized 12 November 1671; Samuel Mather, Harvard College 1690, 28, baptized 30 August 1674; Abigail, 13, baptized 20 April 1677; Hannah, 30 baptized 16 July 1680; Catharine, 14, baptized 17 September 1682, died within 9 months; and Jerusha, 16, baptized 20 April 1684. He married second wife 1715, Ann Lake, daughter of Thomas Lake, widow of Reverend John Cotton of Hampton, who outlived him, and died at Brookline, 29 March 1737, in 74th year. All the daughters except her who died in infancy were married and of the six, all but Hannah, child Maria married Bartholomew Green, and next, Richard Fifield, survived him, and died 24 November 1746; Elizabeth married July 1696, William Greenough, and next, 6 October 1703, Josiah Byles, and died 20 August 1745; her only child was Mather Byles, a minister of celebrity in Boston, who resembled, in some points, his uncle Cotton; Sarah married 1691, Reverend Nehemiah Walter of Roxbury; Abigail married Newcomb Blake, and next, 1727, Reverend John White of Gloucester; Hannah married 28 January 1698, John Oliver, and died 2 December 1706; and Jerusha married 8 March 1710, Peter Oliver, and died 30 December following. Her daughter Jerusha died 5 days after a ridiculous mistake of another Jerusha, niece of this, though not born before her death, mystified the genealogy of the late Governor Smith of Connecticut. Samuel Mather, the third son went to England, was settled as minister at Witney, in Oxfordshire, made some preparation for an abridgement of his brother Cotton's Magnalia, which from many judicious omissions it is regretted that he had not completed and published. His copy is in the library of the Massachusetts Historical Society.

JOSEPH MATHER, Dorchester, son of Timothy Mather, married 2 or or 20 June 1689, Sarah Clap, had Catharine, born about 1690, and he died about 1691.

NATHANIEL MATHER, Dorchester, son of Richard Mather, born at Toxteth, near Liverpool, England, went some years after his graduation at Harvard to England, had then been living at Barnstable, 1656, by presentation of Oliver Cromwell, it is vildly said, meaning, perhaps, by his recommendion, for ecclesiastic patronage had ceased; ejected in 1662, preached at Rotterdam, after some years was at Dublin, successor to his brother Samuel Mather, whence he sent contribution for relief to the suffering in Philip's war 1676, and last in London, died 26 July 1697, having served at the altar 47 years in England, Holland, Ireland, and England again.

RICHARD MATHER, Dorchester, son of Thomas Mather, born 1596, of an ancient family as his grandson Cotton in Magnalia III. c. 20, assures us, at Lowton, in the parish of Winwick, Lancashire, was employed in teaching a school some years before going to the University, but at length, on 9 May 1618, was entrant of Brazen Nose College Oxford, yet soon called to Toxteth, where he had taught the school, preached his first sermon 30 November of the same year. There most faithfully he serv.ed15 years and was then suspended for non-conformity, and feeling the true sense of his office, resolved on expatriation. In disguise he embarked at Bristol in the James, arrving 17 August 1635, after peril in the remarkable storm two days before, and on 25 October with wife Catharine joined the church of Boston. He had married 29 September 1624, that daughter of Edmund Holt, Esquire, of Bury, in Lancashire had Samuel, born 13 May 1626, Harvard College 1643; Timothy; Nathaniel, 20 March 1630, Harvard College 1647, before mentioned; and Joseph, who died in childhood; after coming to New England. Had Eleazer, 13 May 1637, Harvard College 1656; and Increase, 21 June 1639, Harvard College 1656, before mentioned. He was a man of excellent discretion, of less learning, it is probable than his ambitious son Increase, and less brilliancy, it is clear, than his eccentric grandson, the never dying author of Magnalia, but in true service as minister happier than either, and better than both. He was settler at Dorchester 23 August 1636; his wife died 1655, and he married 26 August 1656, Sarah, widow of his great friend John Cotton, and died 22 April 1669. A few days before he had met a great indignity, in being refused administration with sundry others, sent by an ecclesiastical council, met at Boston, to attempt conciliation in the First Church there, as John Hull, one of the aggrieved members relates in his Diary, page 229 of the Volume published by the Antiquities Society of Worcester. The widow made her will 3 May 1670, but did not died for six years. His life, written by Increase, printed 1670, is condensed in the Magnalia the author of which could never be scrupulous in use of materials; and of course he shows that he had not resorted to the MS of the journal of his grandfather. Yet the slight extracts from the interesting work, caused a desire for the original which in Young's Chron. was printed from the autography 210 years after its date.

RICHARD MATHER, Dorchester, son of Timothy Mather, married 1 July 1680, Catharine Wise, daughter of Joseph Wise of Roxbury, had Timothy, born 20 March 1681; Elizabeth, 20 November 1682; Samuel, 23 January 1684; and Joseph, 29 January 1686. He had settled at Lyme, and died 17 August 1688. Goodwin calls his wife Elizabeth, which seems wrong.

SAMUEL MATHER, Dorchester, eldest son of the first Richard Mather, born in England, freeman 1618, after large preparation here for his profession. Went home, preached in England, Scotland, and Ireland, settled in Dublin, was made a fellow of Trinity College there, says family tradition, married a sister of Sir John Stevells, and died 29 October 1671.

SAMUEL MATHER, Windsor, eldest son of Timothy Mather, preached some time at Deerfield, and on destruction of that town by the Indians 1675, went down with the surviving people to Hatfield, and there preached and elsewhere, but was called from preaching at Branford to be ordained at Windsor 1682, where he had married Hannah Treat, daughter of Governor Treat, who died 8 March 1708, had Samuel Mather, born 1677, Harvard College 1698, a physician, who died 6 February 1746; Hannah, September 1682, died next year; John; Joseph; and Azariah, 29 August 1685, a minister who died at Saybrook, 11 February 1737; Ebenezer, 3 September 1687; Joseph, 6 March 1689; Elizabeth, 2 January 1691; Nathaniel, 30 May 1695; Benjamin, 29 September 1696; and John. He was one of the first Trustees of Yale College, and died 18 March 1728. The son kept up the name to our times.

TIMOTHY MATHER, Dorchester, son of Richard Mather, born in England, married Catharine Atherton, daughter of Humphrey Atherton, had Samuel, born 6, baptized 7 September 1651, Harvard College 1671, before mentioned; Nathaniel, baptized 30 January 1653, probably died very soon, which may explain the failure of entry of births; Richard, 22, baptized 25 December 1653, before mentioned (of course not baptized on Wednesday, 2 November of that year as printed in Genealogical Registrar III. 280); Catharine, 6, baptized 13 January 1656; Nathaniel, again, 2, baptized 5 September 1658; Joseph, 25, baptized 26 May 1661; and Atherton, 4 October 1663, before mentioned; and he died 14 January 1686, by falling from a scaffold in his barn, says Blake's Ann. His widow Elizabeth, who he had married 20 March 1680, died 20 February 1710, aged 70 years. Of the eleven male descendants of famous Richard Mather, bred at Harvard as above enumerated, ten were of the seventeenth century, and the other had his A.B. a hundred and thirty years since. From 1705 to 1837 eighteen have been graduates at Yale.

JOHN MATSON, Boston, son of the first Thomas Matson, married 7 March 1660, Mary Cotton, daughter of William Cotton, had Ann, Amey or Emma, born 12 March 1662; John, 26 January 1665; Mary, 22 December 1666; and Abigail, 19 October 1668.

JOHN MATSON, Simsbury 1690, a grandson of first Thomas Matson, had served his apprenticeship at Windsor, married Mary Adams, daughter of Edward Adams.

THOMAS MATSON, Boston 1630, gunsmith, came probably in the fleet with Winthrop, as among the early members of the church he is entered as recorded brought communion of church from a church in London, though at a later day, 17 July 1636, he was fully recorded, yet had been administered freeman 4 March 1634; by wife Ann, who was sister of Abigail, the first wife of Theodore Atkinson, had Thomas, baptized 27 October 1633; John, 10 July 1636; removed to Braintree, having been disarmed as one of the recusant friends of Wheelwright, in November 1637, there had Joshua, 23 July 1640; and Abigail, perhaps eldest of all; was a military officer after the religious heats were assuaged; died after 1666.

THOMAS MATSON, Boston, son of the preceding, married 14 August 1660, widow Mary Read, had Thomas and Hannah, was freeman 1666, then titled junior, prison-keeper 1674, for several years; died 1690. By deeds of Theodore Atkinson, first of the name, in April 1675, Thomas junior John, Joshua, and Abigail, children of his wife's sister, and Thomas and Hannah, children of that Thomas junior; and Ann, John, and Mary, children of John, the second son of first Thomas, are indicated for us.

BENJAMIN MATTHEWS, Dover 1659, was son of Francis Matthews, and had son Francis.

CALEB MATTHEWS, New Haven, son of William Matthews, married 13 January 1702, Elizabeth Hotchkiss, daughter perhaps of Daniel Hotchkiss.

DANIEL MATTHEWS, Boston, mariner, married Mary Neighbors, daughter of James Neighbors, was first Sergeant in the Company of Moseley for the Narraganset service December 1675.

FRANCIS MATTHEWS, Portsmouth 1631, of the men sent over by Mason, was of Exeter 1639 to 46, removed to Dover, probably died 1647, when, perhaps, his widow Thomasine (with children Benjamin, Walter, and Martha, who married first a Snell, and next, a Browne), was on the estate he purchased 1640 of William Beard. Descendants which write the name Mathes are named and respected.

HUGH MATTHEWS, Newbury, married 28 August 1683, Mary Emerson, had John, born 26 February 1688; Judith, 30 April 1689, Joanna, 19 April 1690; Hugh, 15 May 1691, died soon; and Hugh, again, 19 May 1696.

JAMES MATTHEWS, Charlestown 1634, probably removed before 1639 to Yarmouth, where he had Samuel, born 1 May 1647; Sarah, 21 July 1649; Esther, 8 January 1651; perhaps more daughters, but certainly six more sons of who only John and Benjamin are named to me, the latter being youngest son and progenitor of all who remain on the Cape, as Otis instructed us; was Representative 1664. Probably his wife was Sarah Hedge, daughter of William Hedge; and his daughter Esther married 10 June 1695, Daniel Willard, both parties living past middle age.

JOHN MATTHEWS, Roxbury, had Gershom, born 25 July 1641, perhaps baptized but the record of church prior to December is lost; and Elizabeth, 14, baptized 22 October 1643. Ellis, in his History 123, followed the erronous supposition of Farmer, about his removal to Springfield, and adds that he was excommunicated for drunkeness. Now that censure was on 1 May 1659, many years later than his namesake was at Springfield, but then he ought to have turned over the church volume very little, and seen that he was restored to his honorable relation 29 December 1660. He was freeman 18 May 1642, when the Colony record spells it Mathis.

JOHN MATTHEWS, Rehoboth, perhaps removed to Springfield, married 1644, Pentecost Bond, had two children who died one Sarah, buried 7 January 1650, and the wife was killed by the Indians 5 October 1675. He was fined two or three times for drunkenness, but that frailty would not fully prove his identity with the preceding. He married second wife and had son who died young, and he died 25 April 1684.

JOHN MATTHEWS, Charlestown, married 7 January 1609, Margaret Hunt, and he died 28 June following.

JOHN MATTHEWS, Yarmouth, son of James Matthews, by wife Sarah, had only John, for he was killed 1676, at Rehoboth, by the Indians. His widow became second wife of Joseph Rider.

JOHN MATTHEWS, Marlborough, Barry thinks, in 1681, married Mary Johnson, daughter of Jonathan Johnson, had Lydia, born 16 March 1691, died at 15 years; Ruth, 9 May 1693; John, 18 January 1695; and Daniel, March 1697. His wife died 22 June 1710, and he married 1713, Sarah Garfield.

MARMADUKE MATTHEWS, Malden, was son of Matthew Matthews of Swansea, in Glamorganshire, and in his 18th year matriculated 20 February 1624 at All Souls, Oxford, came to Boston, in a ship from Barnstable, 21 September 1638, and his wife Catharine joined to our church 6 February following. He preached at Yarmouth 1639 to 43, for in August of this latter year his wife was dismissed from our church to that of Yarmouth; was administered freeman of Plymouth Colony 1641, had Manasseh, baptized 24Jan 1641, by Lothrop, at Barnstable, but came to Hull about 1644; some years later taught at Malden, where his troubles are copious. Detailed by Frothingham, in History of Charlestown; he had there been ordained but, against the good will of the hearers, he was forced to depart, was then employed at Lynn and other places, finally went home, and Calamy says he died at his native place, about 1683.

MORDECAI MATTHEWS, Harvard College 1655, was, I presume, son of the preceding, and, as no more is heard of him, probably he went to England.

ROGER MATTHEWS, Dorchester, had grant of land February 1630, but probably soon removed.

WALTER MATTHEWS, Isle of Shoals, son of Francis Matthews, was constable there 1658, removed to Dover, had wife Mary, and died 1678, leaving son Samuel, daughters Susanna Young and Mary Senter. His will of 15 April was probated 23 June, as Mr. Quint finds.

WILLIAM MATTHEWS, Branford, had Elizabeth, born 27 December 1672; Caleb; Thomas; and William; and his will, of 14 April 1684, mentioned another child.

JAMES MATTHEWSON, is by Farmer, put into the list of earliest settlers of Rhode Island. But I have found nothing to add, except that at Providence he took the engagement of allegiance to Charles Il in May 1666, and probably had Ruth, who married 1 April 1686, Benjamin Whipple.

JOSEPH MATTHEWSON, who married 19 February 1715, Sarah Whitman, daughter of the second Valentine Whitman, is called son of Daniel Matthewson. Yet who Daniel Matthewson was, or where he lived I find not.

DAVID MATTOCKS, Braintree, freeman 1630, had wife Sarah, and daughter Elizabeth, who was decrepid, one son and daughter at Roxbury before 14 May 1654, when his inventory was dated, and his death died 4 July 1655. The widow married 2 May 1656, Thomas Rawlins of Boston.

JAMES MATTOCKS, Boston, a cooper, came from Bristol, perhaps before 1633 (at least his daughter Alice was then wife of Nathaniel Bishop), joined the church in February 1639, and was made freeman 13 March following. Perhaps all his children were born in England. In his will, made 21 January 1667, which is on the latest page in Volume I of Suffolk Register, he names son Samuel, and daughters Alice, wife of John Lewis, who had been widow of Nathaniel Bishop, and Mary, wife of Samuel Brown, married 9 July 1 661.

RICHARD MATTOCKS, New Haven, married 2 March 1669, Grace Todd, but it is not certain that he was resident long. He had deserted his wife before 1686, when her father died.

SAMUEL MATTOCKS, Boston, son of James Mattocks, married 30 March 1653, Constance Fairbanks, daughter of Richard Fairbanks, had Samuel, born 15 October 1659; James, 27 October 1662; Constance, 10 September 1665; Zaccheus, 15 September 1668; John, 14 September 1669; Elizabeth 18 August 1670; Mehitable, 7 November 1672; and Mary, 13 November 1673. Maddox is very easily confounded with this name, as well as Maddock, and I dare not, in some cases, distinguishable.

HUBERTUS MATTOON, or HERBERT MATTOON, Kittery 1652, when he submitted to jurisdiction of Massachusetts, probably removed to Saco before 1683. Folsom, 174.

PHILIP MATTOON, a soldier from the East part of the Colony, in the spring of 1676, was in Turners Company and took part in the Falls fight, then settled at Springfield, married Sarah Hawkes, daughter of John Hawkes of Hadley, had Margaret, born 1678; Philip, 1680; John, 1682; Isaac, 1684; Sarah, 1687; removed to Deerfield, there had Eleazer, 1689; Gershom, 1690; Nathaniel, 1693; Ebenezer, 1695; and Mary, posthumous 1697. He died 30 December 1696, and his widow married Daniel Belden, as third wife and died 17 December 1701, in 95th year. Of his son Philip, with wife Rebecca Nims, daughter of Godfrey Nims, and only child were killed at the second destruction of Deerfield by the Indians and French 29 February 1704; John settled at Wallingford; Isaac and Nathaniel at Northfield; Eleazer at Amherst, but was first at Northfield; and Gershom at Lebanon; Ebenezer died at 21 years. The late Honorable Ebenezer Mattoon, Dartmouth College 1776, was grandson of Eleazer Mattoon.

RICHARD MATTOON, or ROBERT MATTOON, Exeter, probably son of Hubertus Mattoon, swore fidelity 14 July 1657, married Jane Hilton, daughter of Edward Hilton junior, was killed by the Indians 23 July 1706, with his son Hubertus. Belknap I. 172.

DANIEL MAUDE, Boston, came in the James, from Bristol, 1635, in company with Richard Mather, was bred at Emanuel, Cambridge, where he had his A.B. 1606, and A.M. 1610, kept the school for some years, joined to our church 25 October 1630, freeman 25 May following yet without prefix of respect; for second wife married Mary Bonner, a widow with four children, went to Dover, there was first minister on settlement, founder 1642 to his death in 1655. His will was of 17 January in that year. He left no children by either of his wives.

HENRY MAUDSLEY, Braintree, came in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, in the autumn of 1635, aged 24, had Mary, born 29 September 1638; Samuel, 14 June 1641; and, perhaps, otbers; Artillery Company 1643; freeman 1646; we know not the name of his wife nor any more item. Dr. Harris claims him for Dorchester 1630, but without sufficient warrant, that I can discover. Yet he had grant of a houselot 1637.

JOHN MAUDSLEY, Dorchester, freeman 14 March 1639, by wife Elizabeth, had Joseph, born 1638, as printed in Genealogical Registrar V. 244, though I think the son called Joseph in the record may have been John; and whether any more, or when that wife died is unknown; died 1661, before 4 October the date of his inventory, but by wife Cicely's will of 28 November following, are named son John, daughter Elizabeth, and son Thomas. This Cicely, who may seem to be the same as wife Elizabeth, died 3 December 1661.

JOHN MAUDSLEY, Windsor, son of the preceding, married 10 or 14 December 1664, Mary Newbury, daughter of Benjamin Newbury, had Benjamin, born 13 October 1666; Margaret, 4 February 1668, died young,; Joseph, 21 December 1670; Mary, 3 May 1673; and Consider, 21 November 1675; was freeman 1666, Lieutenant in Philip's war, removed to Westfield 1677, became freeman of Massachusetts May 1678, there had John, 21 August 1678, died at 12 years; Comfort. 8 December 1680; Margaret, again, 22 May 1683; Elizabeth, 17 November 1685; Hannah, 3 April 1690, who died 1708; and he went back to Windsor, there died 18 August 1690. All the five sons were living 1706; but Comfort died 1711. Benjamin, Joseph, Consider, and John each had family at Westfield, but in 1719, a few years before his death, Joseph removed to Glastonbury.

RICHARD MAUDSLEY, Boston, perhaps brother perhaps son of Henry Maudsley, married Mary Eyre, daughter of Simon Eyre the first, had only Martha, who it is said, married John Ruggle, but who of the several bearing that name, or when the father of this wife or her husband was born is almost beyond guess.

SAMUEL MAUDSLEY, Dorchester, son of Henry Maudsley, a cooper, removed early to Boston, and in the way of trade visited Jamaica and other parts of the West Indies, where the adventurous spirit was excited and schooled, perhaps by Sir Henry Morgan and associate buccaneers, the result of which was, his bringing home to Boston two prizes from some unmentionable enemy. An explanation of this may be, that the prizes (which were commanded by Dutchmen) had been engaged in irregular or piratical business. He married Ann Addington, eldest daughter of the first Isaac Addington, and sister of the Honorable Isaac Addington, had Samuel, born 18 April 1671; Rebecca, 1673; and Mary. He was a Captain in Philip's war, showed gallant spirit, had great success in destroying the Indians, by some was thought to take too great delight in that exercise, and died January 1680. The son died young, and the widow in 1684 contemplated marriage with Nehemiah Pierce, made deed of trust in favor of the daughters, of who Rebecca married 22 January 1695, James Townsend, and Mary married William Webster of Boston.

THOMAS MAUDSLEY, Dorchester, son of the first John Maudsley, married 28 October 1658, Mary Lawrence, daughter of Thomas Lawrence of Hingham, had probably that John, who the record says died 27 October 1661, unless Increase were earlier; Mary, born 31 December 1660, died 4 December next year; Thomas, 12 March 1667, who died 12 April 1749; Elizabeth, 19 February 1669; Unite, 5 May 1671, who was a soldier in Withington's Company for the crusade against Quebec 1690; Ebenezer, 4 September 1673; John, 9 April 1676; Nathaniel, 28 October 1678; and Joseph, 17 April 1681; and died 22 October 1706. His will of 4 October preceding names Increase, son of his eldest deceased son Increase. The widow died April 1723. The name was spelled with many variations as Mawdesly, Modesly, Madesly, but long has been fixed at Moseley, yet liable to be much mistaken as in Genealogical Registrar VI. 268, printed Moreley.

THOMAS MAULE, or THOMAS MAULD, Salem 1669, a shopkeeper from England came, he says in his book, via Barbadoes, was whipped for ill words, being Quaker, in May of that year married 22 July 1670, Naomi Lindsay; perhaps as second wife, had Mary Keyser, daughter of George Keyser of the same, and in 1695 punished again, for "Truth held forth, etc." Still, he showed great fondness for Salem, and in his will, about 1723, left a bequest to its use, of which part was to be applied to support the writing-school. He had Susanna, born 15 September 1671; Elizabeth, 11 September 1673; Deliverance, 21 October 1675, died next year; Sarah, 17 September 1677; Margaret, 20 March 1680; Pelatiah, 10 May 1682; besides sons John, 9 October 1684; and Joseph, 16 February 1687, who died next year, and third wife Sarah, who survived.

ANTIPAS MAVERICK, Isle of Shoals 1617, attended before Commissioners of Massachusetts and submitted to her jurisdiction November 1652, was of the grand jury of the Colony 1654, was dead before 24 April 1682, when administration of his estate was granted to Edward Gilman and Stephen Paul, in behalf of their wives. His daughter Abigail married Edward Gilman.

ELIAS MAVERICK, Charlestown 1632, was of the church in February of next year, and freeman 11 June, lived at Winnesemet, then part of Boston, now Chelsea, married Ann Harris, daughter of a widow Elizabeth Harris, who became the wife of Deacon William Stetson, had John, born 13, baptized 27 February 1636; Abigail, 10, baptized 14 August 1637; Elizabeth, 2 June 1639, died young, probably; Sarah, 20 February 1641, died young perhaps; Elias, 17 March 1644; Peter; Mary; Ruth; Paul, 10 June 1657; and Rebecca, 1 January 1660; was of Artillery Company 1654, and died about 1684. His will, of 19 October 1681, probated 6 November 1684, provides for wife, sons Elias, Peter, Paul, grandson Jotham, son of son John, who therefore, I presume, was dead; James, son of son Peter, who was probably dead; and daughters Abigail, who had married 4 June 1655, Matthew Clark; Sarah Walton; Mary Way; Ruth Smith; and Rebecca Thomas; besides father-in-law Deacon Stetson, and Ruth Johnson, then lived with testator, child of his daughter Elizabeth, who married 15 October 1656, John Johnson, who had removed to Haverhill; and named Elias and Paul executors.

ELIAS MAVERICK, Boston, son of the preceding, married 8 December 1669, Margaret Sherwood, who joined the church of Charlestown in August 1675, which may render it probable that he lived on the estate of his father or near it, had Elias, born 4 November 1670; Margaret, and Elizabeth, baptized 22 August 1673; Abigail, 24 September 1676; Samuel, 14 August 1687; and was freeman 1690.

JOHN MAVERICK, Dorchester, came in the Mary and John, 1630, from Plymouth, with colleague Warham, desired to be administered freeman 19 October, and is first on the list of those who took the oath 18 May 1631, died 3 February 1636, while preparing to accompany his friends, who removed to Windsor, perhaps, though Blake's Annals, say he would have contined with Mather. He was in 60th year and much do I regret the ill success of inquiry for his place of education or any account of his early days. All that we get from the veracious annals of Clap, who was by his father committed to the care of Maverick when the youth had leave to come to New England is, that he lived 40 miles off. On what authority he is said to have died at Boston, I know not.

JOHN MAVERICK, Boston, possibly brother of the preceding as Farmer thought, but to me it seems very improble, by wife Jane, had John, born 18, baptized with his sister Jane or his mother 30 April 1653: and Dorothy, 23, baptized 28 January 1655. Perhaps his wife died soon after. As well as son John, and by second wife Rebecca he had John, again, 28 July 1662.

JOHN MAVERICK, Boton, son of Elias Maverick the first, married 9 April 1656, Catharine Skipper, had Jotham, born 30 March 1660; Elizabeth, 17 October 1662; Sarah, 20 June 1665; Ann, 21 September 1671; Skipper, 4 May 1674; and Catharine, 18 September 1676. When he died is not told; but his widow I presume, married 8 September 1680, John Johnson.

MOSES MAVERICK, Salem, perhaps brother of the first Elias Maverick, freeman 3 September 1634, though Felt inserted his name with wife in the list of church members under 1637, and so he must believe that he had been accepted in another town, had Rebecca, baptized 7 August 1639; Mary, 14 February 1641, died at 15 years; Abigail, 12 January 1645; Elizabeth, 3 December 1646, died soon; Samuel, 19 December 1647; Elizabeth again, 30 September 1649, who married 6 April 1665, Nathaniel Grafton; Remember, 12 September 1652; Mary, again, 6 September 1657; and a son whose name is not in the record 20 March 1663; besides Sarah, who is not found in the records. He lived on Marblehead side, was one of the founders of the church 24 May 1684, and died 28 January 1686, aged 76, which date, Farmer says, Dana mistook. His wife Remember Allerton, daughter of famous Isaac Allerton (but in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 270, she is called Sarah, and possibly he had both, to wife though it seems not probable) died after 1652, and he married 22 October 1656, Eunice, widow of Thomas Roberts. His daughter Rebecca married 3 June 1658, John Hawkes of Lynn, and died soon after birth of son Moses, next year. His will, probated 30 March 1686, names wife and Moses, the only surviving child. Of his daughter Rebecca; four children of his deceased daughter Abigail, viz.: Samuel Ward, Abigail Hinds, Mary Dollabar, and Martha Ward; and four living daughters viz.: Elizabeth Skinner; Remember Woodman; Mary, wife of Archibald Ferguson; and Sarah, wife of John Norman.

PAUL MAVERICK, Boston, son of the first Elias Maverick, married Jemima Smith, daughter of Lieutenant John Smith, had Moses, born 8 February baptized at Charlestown, 11 September 1681; Jotham, 28 October 1683; John, 14 August 1687, one year old.

PETER MAVERICK, Boston, elder brother of the preceding, married Martha Bradford, daughter of Robert Bradford, had Martha, born 8 February 1671; and James.

SAMUEL MAVERICK, Boston, found here on Noddle's Island by the Massachusetts Company in 1630, having built a little fort with four small pieces of artillery, so that we may be sure he was here in 1629, perhaps came in 1628, too late for liability to expense of the expedition of Endicott against Morton. He desired administration 19 October 1630, into the company, but did not take the freeman's oath until 2 October 1632. Against all probability he is called son of Reverend John Maverick by a writer of more animation than exactness, in History of East Boston; and even the careful History of Dorchester, 404, confidently says the same. For his habit of hospitality, he was required in the spring of 1635, to change his residence and move to the peninsula, but that tyranny was not enforced, and in the autumn of the same year he went to Virginia to buy corn, was absent almost a year. He was one of the King's Commissioners 1665, and in a deposition 9 December 1665, swore he was 63 years old. Of his family only wife Amias, daughter Mary, and sons Nathaniel and Samuel are known. Nathaniel, who was a merchant in a conveyance by his father and mother 1650, of the Island to some creditors, is styled heir of Noddle's Island and he joined in the security. But we never hear more of him. Mary married 8 February 1656, John Palsgrave, and next, 20 September 1660, Francis Hooke. She, in a petition to Andros, a few weeks before his overthrow, tells a strange story about her elder brother defrauding his father of the title to Noddle's Island which had about seventeen years been owned by Colonel Samuel Shrimpton, under sale from Sir Thomas Temple. It may be, that, as Shrimpton was opposed to Sir Edmund about though one of his council, that this was a contrivance to get rid of him. See Genealogical Registrar VIII. 334.

SAMUEL MAVERICK, Boston, son of the preceding, married 4 December 1660, Rebecca Wheelwright, daughter of Reverend John Wheelwright of Wells, had Mary, born 2 October 1661, and Hannah, 25 October 1663; and he died 10 March 1664, and some unusual proceedings in few days by creditors that the "estate be not concealed or conveyed away " may be seen in Colony record IV. part II. 145, and Genealogical Registrar XlI. 165. His brother-in-law Francis Hooke was appointed administrator 1666, in Maine. So that Eliot, in Biographical Dictionary mistook, saying he was the last named of four Royal commissioners in the Warrant of 25 April 1664 to hear all complaints and settle every thing in the Colony of New England respective of the doings under which most copious details are in Hutchinson I.229-57. Strangely is he miscalled son of the Reverend John Maverick in Josselyn, 252. His widow married 12 March 1672, William Bradbury.

SAMUEL MAVERICK of Boston, who by wife Martha, had Samuel, born 16 March 1671, may have been son of John Maverick, though it is very improble as the Dorchester minister is never reported to have had any sons and he, I infer from both Moses and Samuel signed 1668 the petition from Marblehead against imposts, was, perhaps, son of Moses, and of a different tribe from the royal commissioner.

WILLIAM MAWER, Boston 1636, lived at Mount Wollaston, but removed I think, before 1640.

MOSES MAWNEY, Narraganset, a Huguenot, who escaped from France, soon after 1685, and as Potter in his History tells, sat down in that part now East Greenwich, probably bringing wife and children of which two are named Peter and Mary. Mary married in New York.

PETER MAWNEY, Providence, of the preceding, married Mary Tillinghast, daughter of the second Pardon Tillinghast, had, as we learn from the will of their grandfather without any indication of order, Sarah, Amey, Lydia, Mary, John, born August 1718, and Peter. By a second wife whose name Potter has not given he says there were three, perhaps named Elizabeth, Mercy, and Pardon, but the want of precision is unavoidable. The name is one of the perversions that the Huguenots suffered in change of their allegiance, since in France it was spelled Le Moine.

ROGER MAWRY, ROGER MOURIE, ROGER MOREY, or ROGER MOWRY, Salem, freeman 18 May 1631, served as neatherd for the town 1637; may have had wife Elizabeth in 1641, but in few years removed to Providence, and was among the list of freeman there 1665, when he kept an inn, and was Representative 1658.

ALEXANDER MAXCY, a soldier of Gallup's Company for the sad expedition 1690, of Phips against Quebec.

CLEMENT MAXFIELD, Dorchester 1658, came with his wife from Taunton, but they had years before been members of Dorchester church, had married Mary Denman, probably daughter of John Denman, constable 1664, had Samuel, and, perhaps, John; died 3 February 1692, and his widow died 31 May 1707, in 86th year.

JOHN MAXFIELD, Salisbury 1652, was of Gloucester 1679; but this may be the Mayfield of Lynn in Felt's list, Genealogical Registrar V. 339, who married Rebecea Armitage.

JOHN MAXFIELD, Salisbury, by wife Elizabeth, had John, born 23 October 1680; Timothy, October 1682; Mary, 10 January 1685; Margery, 5 November 1686; Nathaniel, 1 March 1689; Joseph, 4 March 1692; Elizabeth, 18 January 1695; and William, 4 September 1699; and died suddenly 10 December 1703.

SAMUEL MAXFIELD, Dorchester, married Mary Davenport, daughter of Thomas Davenport, had John; Ebenezer, born 20 November 1675; Mary; and Mehitable. His widow Mary died 1707.

JOHN MAXSON, JOHN MAXON or JOHN MAGGSON, Westerly, perhaps son of Richard Maxson, was Representative 1685, may have been father of a minister who served the Seventh Day Baptist congregation (as mentioned by Callender) at Westerly 1738; and died 17 December 1720, aged 82. Descendants have been numerous. He married Mary Mosher, had John, born 1666; Joseph, 1672; Dorothy; Jonathan; Hannah; and Mary. His wife died 2 February 1718, aged 77. One of the daughters married Hubbard Burdick.

JOHN MAXSON, JOHN MAXON or JOHN MAGGSON, Westerly, son of the preceding, married 19 January 1688, Judith Clark, daughter of Joseph Clark, had Judith, born 23 September 1689; Mary, 26 October 1691, died next year; Bethia, 31 July 1693; Elizabeth, 7 November 1695; Hannah, 13 June 1698; John, 21 April 1701; Dorothy, 20 October 1703; Susanna, 19 October 1706; Joseph, December 1709, died July following; and Avis, 27 December 1712; and the father died July 1747.

JONATHAN MAXSON, JONATHAN MAXON or JONATHAN MAGGSON, Westerly, brother of the preceding, married 1 May 1707, Content Rogers, possibly daughter of Jonathan Rogers, had Jonathan, born 16 January 1708; Content, 28 January 1710; Joseph, 14 January 1712; John, 2 March 1714; Naomi, 6 May 1716; Samuel, 20 July 1718; Caleb, 1 November 1721; and Mary, 20 November 1723. His will is of 8 June 1732.

JOSEPH MAXSON, JOSEPH MAXON or JOSEPH MAGGSON, Westerly, brother of the preceding, married Tacy Burdick, daughter of Robert Burdick, had Joseph, born 10 March 1692; and John, Tacy, Goodith, Mary, Ruth, and Elizabeth, and died September 1750.

RICHARD MAXSON, RICHARD MAXON or RICHARD MAGGSON, Newport 1638, of who no more is known but that he was a blacksmith.

JAMES MAXWELL, Boston 1684, a member of the Scots' Charitable Society, was doorkeeper for the General Court 1693. The name may be the same as Maxfield.

ELEAZER MAY, Roxbury, son of Samuel May, married early, and by wife Sarah, had Eleazer, born 21 June 1687; Samuel, 26 December 1688, died the same day, and his wife died ten days after. He was killed by the Indians 29 April following.

GEORGE MAY, Boston, married 6 October 1666, Elizabeth Franklin, daughter of William Franklin, was an iron-monger, Artillery Company 1661, freeman 1665.

JOHN MAY, Roxbury, written Mayes and Mays in the early records of town and church, but Maies in Colony record. Came as early as 1640, or before with wife and probably children John and Samuel, freeman 2 June 1641, died 28 April 1670, aged 30 years. His nuncupative will, made four days before probate next day, names sons John and Samuel; and his wife Sarah died 4 March following. This was not that wife he brought from England for in the record of church, Eliot had written under 18 June 1651, "sister Mayes died a very gracious and savoury christian," nor was she that Sarah record by dismissal from Dorchester church as the same hand notes "an aged woman joined here 29 April 1660." Farmer was informed that he was of Mayfield; County Sussex.

JOHN MAY, Roxbury, son of the preceding, born in England, freeman 1660, married 19 November 1656, Sarah Brewer, daughter of the first Daniel Brewer, had Mary, born 7 November 1657, baptized 29 May 1659, but in the record written Sarah by mistake; Sarah, 8, baptized 11 September 1659; Eleazer, 12, baptized 16 February 1662, died soon; John, 19, baptized 24 May 1663; Mehitable, 6, baptized 7 May 1665; Naomi, 20, baptized 26 May 1667; Elisha, 20, baptized 21 March 1669; and Ephraim, 23, baptized 25 December 1670; and died 11 September 1671, aged about 40, having been blind several months. His will, probated 11 October following, names the seven living children, Mary, married 4 November 1676, John Ruggles; Sarah married 24 February 1680, Samuel Williams; Ephraim died in minority, but administration of his estate was given 13 November 1690, to Captain Nathaniel Stearns; and Elisha. Perhaps removed to a distance.

JOHN MAY, Roxbury, son of the preceding, married 2 June 1684, Prudence Bridge, daughter of John Bridge, had John, born 12 April 1685, died soon; a son 23 February 1686, died the same day; John, again, 23 November 1686; Samuel, 8 January 1689, died at 8 years; Ebenezer, 19 October 1692; Prudence, 29 November 1694; Hezekiah, 14 December 1696; Sarah, 29 October 1698; Nehemiah, 28 June 1701; Mehitable, 27 February 1703; Eleazer, 9 July 1705; and Benjamin, 1 March 1708; was freeman 1690, a Deacon, and his descendants are very widely diffused. Family tradition antedates his birth seven years, and gave him 7 sons, 4 daughters. His wife died 26 September 1723, and he died 24 February 1730.

JONATHAN MAY, Hingham, married November 1686, Sarah Langley, daughter of John Langley of the same, had Mary, born 3 November 1687, and no more. He died of smallpox, 22 November 1690, a soldier in the lamentable expedition of Phips against Quebec.

SAMUEL MAY, Roxbury, son of the first John May, born in England, freeman 1660, married 7 June 1657, Abigail Stansfull, if the copy of record furnished me spelled correctly so strange a name, had Abigail, born 22, baptized 29 May 1659; Jonathan, 4, baptized 7 February 1664; Joanna, 7, baptized 11 March 1666; Eleazer, 6, baptized 8 March 1668; John, 17, baptized 19 June 1670; Gideon, 25 January baptized 4 February 1672, died in few weeks; and Experience, a daughter 28, baptized 31 August 1673; and he died 17 July 1677.

THOMAS MAY, Malden, one of Moseley's Company in 1675 for Narraganset campaign. Four of the name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard and eight at other New England colleges.

NICHOLAS MAYBEE, Windsor, was buried 1 March 1667, with very small estate and neither wife nor children.

HENRY MAYER, Boston, butcher, by wife Alice, had Joseph, born 13 March 1686; and by wife Hannah, had Patience, 17 May 1698.

THOMAS MAYER, Hingham 1638, came from County Norfolk that year in the Diligent.

JOHN MAYFIELD, Lynn, married Rebecca Armitage, daughter of Godfrey Armitage of the same, had Benoni, born March 1666.

JOHN MAYHEW, Chilmark, son of the second Thomas Mayhew, labored all his short life in teaching the Indians chiefly on the Vineyard, died 3 February 1689, in 37th year leaving son Experience to carry on the work on larger scale, born 1674, died 29 November 1758, who married 12 November 1695, at Barnstable, Thankful Hinckley, daughter of Governor Hinckley, and father of an illustrated line, Joseph Mayhew, Harvard College 1730; Nathan Mayhew, Harvard College 1731; Zechariab Mayhew, a missionary to the lndians, who died 6 March 1806 in 89th year; and Jonathan Mayhew, Harvard College 1744, one of the most distinguished divines of our country, prematurely taken from his service at the age of 44 by death at Boston 9 July 1766.

JOHN MAYHEW, New London, mariner, was from Devonshire, married 25 December 1676, Joanna Christophers, daughter of Jeffrey Christophers, had John, born 15 December 1677; Wait, 4 October 1680; Elizabeth, 8 February 1688; Joanna; Mary; and Patience; and died 1696. His son John Mayhew served as one of the pilots for the fleet of Sir Hovenden Walker, in the abortive expedition 1711, against Quebec, and was sent to England to give evidence of the cause of its failure, should any inquiry ever be instituted. See Hutchinson II. 197.

THOMAS MAYHEW, Watertown, born early in 1591, came in the Griffin, 1633, if we might so infer from the fact of his taken his oath as freeman 14 May 1634, when Governor Haynes and Governor Brenton, besides Cotton, Hooker, and Stone, passengers in that ship were administered. But that inference would be wrong, for in Colony record 95, is a reportly signed by him and two other gentlemen for setting out the bounds between Watertown and the new town, 6 March 1632, and in July 1633, he was appointed administrator of Ralph Glover, while Cotton and fellow passengers did not arrive before September next, so that he must have been here in 1631, and he served as a merchant at Southampton, England, as Bond relates, and here as Representative 1636-44 except 42, was active in trade, first at Medford, after at Watertown, but was induced to remove to the Vineyard about 1647, where he was proprietor, Governor, and preacher to the Indians about 33 years; died 1681, six days only before being 90 years old. It is indistinctively pronounced by tradition that first wife’s husband died in England, had been Martha Parkhurst, and second was probably brought with him, Grace, widow of Thomas Paine, of London, and by her he had Hannah, born 15 June 1635; Bethia, 6 December 1636; and Mary, 14 January 1640. It is not known that he had any sons but Thomas, who he, as born of the former wife, brought from England, but some uncertainty is felt as to the relations of father, and I do not concur with Bond, 857, in making Jane the last wife of Thomas the elder, but think her widow of the son, nor do I believe that it was the son who was, in 1647, chosen by Thomas Paine, then 15 years old, as, with his wife Grace, guardians for him.

THOMAS MAYHEW, son of the preceding, born in England, served with his father at the Vineyard, being the first minister before, went to England, married Jane Paine, perhaps daughter of Grace Paine, wife of his father had Matthew, a teacher of much celebrity in the Indians cause, who died 1710; Thomas Mayhew, who was a Judge; and John Mayhew, before mentioned. He was on board of that ship of who Garrett was master, from Boston to London in November 1657, with Davis, Ince, and Pelham, young scholars, the hope of the country, fellow passengers never heard of, so properly lamented by Gookin, as in his Historical Collections may be read. He sailed from Boston the same day in another ship for London. His widow Jane married Richard Sarson.

DAVID MAYNARD, Westbury, son of second John Maynard of Sudbury, by wife Hannah, who died 1725, had Keziah, born 1703; David, 1704; Ruhamah, 1706; Jonathan, 1708; Martha, 1710, Jesse, 1712; Jotham, 1714; Ebenezer, 1716; Nathan; Hannah, and Mercy; and he died about 1757.

JOHN MAYNARD, Cambridge 1634, removed to Hartford, there was exempt, 1646, from watch, probably for infirmiry, married after May 1648, Edith, widow of Robert Day, whose son John recorded the property of Maynard by his will, as he had no children and died not long after.

JOHN MAYNARD, Sudbury 1640, an original proprietor, freeman 1664, was one of the petitioners for grant of Marlborough in 1656, and died 10 December 1672. He had two wives if not more; by first was born John, but of what date is unknown and, perhaps, others; he married says Barry, 1646, Mary Axdell or Mary Axtel had Zechary, born 7 June 1647; Elizabeth 26 May 1649; Lydia; Hannah, 30 September 1653; and Mary, 3 August 1656. Hannah died probably young, as she is not named in his will of 4 September 1672, in which he calls John eldest son but makes wife with Zechary executors, calls Elizabeth wife of Joseph Graves; and Lydia, wife of Joseph Moore; and the youngest daughter unmarried, but she married February 1674, Daniel Hudson of Lancaster, and died in 1677. Perhaps the first wife was daughter of Comfort Starr, and the second may have been married a dozen years later than Barry tells.

JOHN MAYNARD, Dorchester or Boston, a carpenter, freeman 1649, married widow Elizabeth Pell (that had before been widow of Nathaniel Heaton) and died 4 October 1658, leaving her once more a widow.

JOHN MAYNARD, Sudbury, eldest son of the first John Maynard of the same, perhaps brought by his father from England, married 5 April 1658, Mary Gates, daughter of Stephen Gates of Lancaster, had John, born 1661; Elizabeth, 1664; Simon, 1666, died young; Simon, again, 1668 ; David, 1669, before mentioned Zechariah, 1672; Hannah; Sarah, 1680; Lydia, 1682; and Joseph, 1685; all born at Marlborough, where he was freeman 1685, and died leaving widow Sarah, perhaps 1711.

JOHN MAYNARD, Marlborough, eldest son of the preceding, by wife Lydia Ward, daughter of Richard Ward, had John, born 1690; Daniel, 1692; James, 1694, Mary, 1696; Reuben, 1698; Abigail, 1701; Phineas, 1703; Bethia, 1705; and Hezekiah, 1708; was freeman I think, 1690, though the record says senior when his father was alive, and having once sworn in 1685, needed not to go through the solemnity again, yet it was, perhaps, though good to swear double in those times. He died 15 May, 1731, and his widow died 10 January 1740.

JOSEPH MAYNARD, Marlborough, youngest son of the second John Maynard of Sudbury, married 1707, Elizabeth Price, had Persis, born 1713; Elizabeth, 1716; and Benjamin, 1721. His wife died 1732, at Worcester.

ZECHARY MAYNARD, Sudbury, son of the first John Maynard of the same, married 1678, Hannah Goodrich, not daughter of John Cooledge, as Barry, 323, says, but daughter of John Goodrich of Wethersfield, had Zechariah, born 30 April 1679; John, 26 January 1681; Hannah, 25 January 1683; Jonathan, 8 April 1683; David, or Daniel, 22 May 1687; Elizabeth, 3 January 1692; Joseph; Moses; and Abigail, 13 May 1700. His wife died 1719, and he died 1724. This name is spelled with many variations.

DANIEL MAYO, Eastham, son of the second John Mayo, had Bethia, Sarah, Daniel, Jeremiah, Margery, Mary; and died about 1715.

JAMES MAYO, Eastham, brother of the preceding, had Gamaliel, Joseph, James, and probably Jonathan, by, first wife, and by the second Sarah, married 1702, had Sarah, born 14. January 1703, Henry, 3 May 1705; and John, 11 October 1707; and died 1708.

JOHN MAYO, Barnstable, minister, colleague with Lothrop, came in 1638 probably as he was servant, freeman 3 March 1640, and ordained 15 April following, brought from England children Hannah, Samuel, John, Nathaniel, and, perhaps, Elizabeth, who may, however, have been born on this side of the water; removed to Eastham 1646, thence, discouraged at East, drawn to Boston, where he was installed 9 November 1655, first minister of the South or North church, and Michael Powell ordained ruling. The same day; dismissed 1673, in advanced age after having more than twenty-years. Had jointly served with Increase Mather, he went to Barnstable, there, and at Eastham and Yarmouth lived the short rest of his days with one or another child, and died at Yarmouth May 1676, leaving widow Thomasine, who died 26 February 1682, but we know not whether she had heen his first wife in England. The agreement 15 June 1676, for settlement of the small estate between widow, children and grandchild is on record. His daughter Hannah married 1652, Nathaniel Bacon; and Elizabeth married Joseph Howes of Yarmouth.

JOHN MAYO, Eastham, son of the preceding, born in England, married 1 January 1651, Hannah Reycraft, if Colony record has the name right, had John, born 15 December 1652; William, 7 October 1654; James, 3 October 1656, before mentioned; Samuel, 2 August 1658; Elisha, 7 November 1661; Daniel, 24 January 1664, before mentioned; Nathaniel, 2 April 1667; Thomas, 24 June 1670, died soon; and Thomas, again, 15 July 1672. He died about 1706, the only son who outlived the father. His will, of June 1702, was probated 4 November 1706.

JOHN MAYO, Roxbury, came in 1633, a young child brought by Robert Gamblin junior, as son of his wife by former husband, married 24 May 1654, Hannah Graves, daughter of John Graves, had Hannah, born 24 April 1657, died soon; John, 15, baptized 20 February 1659; Hannah, again, 16, baptized 24 February 1661; Rebecca, 30 June, baptized 3 July 1664, died at 21 years; Joseph, 11, baptized 13 January 1667; Mehitable, 6 January baptized 28 February 1669; Thomas, 16, baptized 20 November 1670; Benjamin, 29, baptized 31 March 1672, died in October following, as did also Thomas Mayo, the predecesor; Thomas, again, 12, baptized 16 November 1673; yet the town record makes this last born 12 December 1676. He died 28 April 1688, but his will of 9 February preceding was kept back until 11 June 1691, perhaps to avoid the Andros jurisdiction upon probated business. It names the wife Hannah, who died 5 October 1699, aged 63; and the five lived children. Hannah married 2 March 1680, Isaac Morris; and Mehitable married 23 July 1695, Thomas Thurston.

JOHN MAYO, Hingham, son of the second John Mayo, married 14 April 1681, Hannah Freeman, daughter of Major John Freeman, had Hannah, born 8 January 1682; Samuel, 16 July 1684; John; Mercy, 23 April 1688; Rebecca; Mary, 26 October 1694, Joseph, 22 December 1696; and about 1700 removed to Harwich, there had Elizabeth, 1706; was Representative often, and he died 1 February 1726.

LAWRENCE MAZURE, or LAWRENCE MAZURYE, Salem, probably brother of the preceding, married 25 October 1670, Mary Kebbin, probably the same as Kibby, had Mary, born 15 February 1673. I suppose in modern days the spelling is Masury.

GERSHOM MCEWEN, or GERSHOM MEKEUNE, GERSHOM MCCUNE, or GERSHOM MECUNE, Stratford, youngest son of Robert McEwen, married January 1737, Martha Picket, daughter of Samuel Picket, had Mary, born April 1738; Robert, June 1743; Sarah, April 1747; and Samuel, December 1749.

ROBERT MCEWEN, or ROBERT MEKEUNE, ROBERT MCCUNE, or ROBERT MECUNE, Stratford 1686, a scotchman, came in the Henry and Francis, a ship of 350 tons, chartered by the laird of Pitlochie, as Whitehead, in History of Perth Amboy tells, or in the Caledonia (by another Representative) a man of war of 50 guns, to transport covenanters released from the tolbooths of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Sterling, on condition of transportation to the colonies. No little of history interest attaches to this colony that landed their precious freight at Perth Amboy. McEwen himself who by tradition is derived from Dumfries, explains: "In June 18, 1679, I was in an engagement in Scotland, at Bothwell brigg, then of the age of 18 years. The 5th of September 1685 we set sail to come to America, and landed at Amboy 18 December and 18 February following. I came to Stratford." Here he was a tailor, made leather breeches for men, stays and mantys for women; and he says he married 20 June 1695, Sarah Wilcockson, daughter of Timothy Wilcockson, as the record says, noting the marriage of 2 June, and of births of two first children, his own writing agrees very near. With John, 20 or 23 September 1697; and Elizabeth, who he calls Betty, 7 November 1699. Other children were Robert, 7 March 1702; Sarah, 5 November 1704; Timothy, 11, baptized 27 April 1707; and Gershom, born 7 April 1711; and the father died February 1740. Of fellow-passengers I presume very few (I hear with certainly of only one, came to New England and concurrent reports say more than one third died on the voyage to New Jersey. Not a few, Whitehead says, went back to Scotland, probably after the Revolution of 1688.

ROBERT MCEWEN, or ROBERT MEKEUNE, ROBERT MCCUNE, or ROBERT MECUNE, Stratford, son of the preceding, married August 7, Mary Birdwey, daughter of Abel Birdsey, had Comfort, born September 1728; Sarah, November 1730, Hezekiah, October 1732; and Eunice, 9 August 1740.

He removed next year from Salem, and at Enfield had Mary, 1684; Joseph, 18 February 1686, Harvard College 1710, the first minister of Coventry 1713; and Benjamin, 1687; and died 1692.

JEREMIAH MEACHAM, Salem 1660, a fuller, married Deborah Brown, daughter of John Brown of Watertown, had probably Isaac, and Jeremiah, besides daughters Rhoda, who married a West, and died before her father, leaving Samuel; Sarah, who married 4 February 1668, Joseph Boyce or Joseph Boyes; Hannah, who married 6 or 16 February 1668, William Gill; Bethia, who married September 1672, George Hacker; and perhaps, Rebecca, who married 27 January 1675, John Macarty. He died 1695, aged 81, and his will was probated 12 April of that year

JEREMIAH MEACHAM, Salem, son of the preceding, married 3 January 1673, Mary Trask, daughter of Henry Trask, had Jeremiah, born 21 December 1673.

Hannah married 14 October 1701, Ebenezer Locke.

GABRIEL MEADE, GABRIEL MEADES, or GABRIEL MEDE, Dorchester, freeman 2 May 1638, died 12 May 1666, in 79th year as was supposed. His will, of 18 January 1654, probated 17 July 1667, names wife Johanna, probably was a second wife, son David, and four daughters Lydia, Experience, Sarah, and Patience. Lydia married 19 October 1652, James Burgess; Experience married 4 December 1663, Jabez Heaton; Sarah married 30 November 1664, Samuel Eddy; and Patience married 28 April 1669, Matthias Evans, all, I think, of Boston.

RICHARD MEADE, RICHARD MEADES, or RICHARD MEDE, Roxbury 1663, freeman 1665, had Richard, a mariner, who died before 15 February 1679, when the father took administration on the estate, but that son was, I think, not born at Roxbury. The father married 6 November 1678, Mary, a second wife, and died I believe, 21 February 1689.

THOMAS MEADE, THOMAS MEADES, or THOMAS MEDE, Salem, married 31 January 1673, Mary, perhaps widow of Thomas Day.

WILLIAM MEADE, WILLIAM MEADES, or WILLIAM MEDE, Roxbury, brother of Richard Meade, had Rebecca, and died October 1683, and his widow 8 days after. His will, made the day of his death if the record be right, probated 2 November 11 following, names only brother Richard Meade, wife Rebecca, and son-in-law Joseph Stanton, though undutiful. The widow made her will 5, probated 15 November following. Nineteen of the name had, in 1834, been graduates at the colleges of New England of who only one was of Harvard.

Of these, John was a Lieutenant, died 1739, aged 76; Samuel was a Lieutenant died 1733, in 60th year. The widow who may have been second wife was daughter of John Biddle, and she died 1725 in 78th year.

THOMAS MEAKINS, or THOMAS MEEKINS, Boston 1633, came probably in the Griffin, administered with wife Catharine of Boston church 2 February following, then called "servant to our brother Edmund Quincy," freeman 9 March 1637 probably died in few years, and his widow went to live at Roxbury, with a son Thomas, there died "an aged woman," as Eliot writes "mother of brother Meakins," 3 February 1651.

THOMAS MEAKINS, or THOMAS MEEKINS, Braintree, son of the preceding, born in England came, no doubt, with his father and mother 1633, "servant to our brother Edmund Quincy," as on administration to the church 30 March following he is called, was freeman 25 May 1636, had Joseph, baptized 5 May 1639, at Boston, and at Braintree, Sarah, born 24 April 1641; and Thomas, 8 June 1643; was Representative 1644; removed to Roxbury, there had Hannah, baptized 13 March 1647; and John, 28 January 1649, died in May following, and his wife Sarah died in childbed, 21 January 1651, says the church record which adds "she was a gracious woman, and left a good savor behind her." The Braintree record mentioned that Helen Meakins was drowned 3 December 1638; and she may have been child but more probably sister of this man. He removed to Hadley, with second wife Elizabeth, married says record of Roxbury 14 February 1651 (unless this be antedated) who died 1683 without children and he died 10 December 1687. He had daughters Mary, I suppose born at Braintree, who married Nathaniel Clark of Northampton, bore him two daughters and in 1669 married John Allis of Hatfield; and Hannah, wife of Joseph Belknap, who died 26 December 1688, to share his property according to his will, with heirs of his only son.

There the pious services of Reverend Father Matignon, and of the blessed Cheverus, after a Cardinal, and Archbishop of Bordeaux, were given to a very small congregation.

JOHN MEARS, Boston, brother of the preceding, died 12 November 1663, under middle age, leaving widow Mary and posthumous son John, born 28 December; had made his will 26 September before, as in Genealogical Registrar XII. 153.

The spelling of this name is from Essex Institute II. 298.

PETER MECOCK, PETER MEACOCK, PETER MAYCOCK, or PETER MECOKE, Newtown, Long Island, 1656. His widow Mary married Thomas Case of Fairfield, before 1661.

THOMAS MECOCK, THOMAS MEACOCK, THOMAS MAYCOCK, or THOMAS MECOKE, Milford 1658, removed to Guilford 1667, was a proprietor 1685.

While at Albany, he wrote 1644, his account of the Maquas, or Mohawks. He had Hellegord, Dirck, Jan, and Samuel, of the ages respectively, 14, 12, 10 and 8, that is, I imagine at the time of arrival Samuel was sent to Harvard College 1657, studied there 3 years, thence to Leyden University where he was administered marriedD., was licensed as minister, came back to New Amsterdam, and was the dominie, yet of such good capacity for worldly affairs, that Governor Stuyvesant made him one of the Commissioners for adjusting the terms of surrender of that Province 1665, to the English.

JOHN MEIGGS, Weymouth, son of Vincent Meiggs, born in England had John, born 29 February 1642, removed probably to Rehoboth 1643, next to New Haven, a 1647, not long after about 1654, to Guilford, thence, last, about 1662, to Killingworth, where both he and son John are in the list of freeman 1669, died 4 January 1672. He had only one son, four daughters Mary, wife of William Stevens; Concurrence, wife of Henry Crane; Trial, wife of Andrew Ward; and Elizabeth, wife of Richard Hibbell who had died before her father. He was a tanner, had large estate and some books, of which one was a Latin and Greek Dictionary.

MARK MEIGGS, New Haven 1646 or 7, brother of the first John Meiggs, being rather wild, removed to Long Island, and is not mentioned again.

VINCENT MEIGGS, New Haven 1646, probably carried thither by son John, he being an old man, having only two children known to us, removed to Guilford, and again removed Died at what is now Killingworth, December 1638, his will of 2 September being probated 2 December of that year. A slight family account is in Genealogical Registrar IV.91, very imperfect, better than nothing, but not much. Early the name is Meggs always.

NATHANIEL MELBY, Hull, freeman 1680, seems to me a wrong name. I never heard of it in New England

EDWARD MELCHER, Portsmouth 1684, died 1695. The name remains in New Hampshire.

ISAAC MELLEN, ISAAC MELIN, ISAAC MELLING, or other variations, New Haven 1657, removed soon after 1664, probably to Virginia.

JACOB MELLEN, JACOB MELIN, JACOB MELLING, or other variations, New Haven, brother of Isaac Mellen. See Melyen.

JOHN MELLEN, JOHN MELIN, JOHN MELLING, or other variations, perhaps of Watertown, son it may be, of James Mellen, married Elizabeth Spring, widow of John Gale, daughter of Henry Spring, who in his will of 29 June 1695, names her, when Barry thinks the husband may have been dead.

RICHARD MELLEN, RICHARD MELIN, RICHARD MELLING, or other variations, Weymouth, freeman 7 September 1639, removed to Charlestown, there had James, born 4 June 1642, before mentioned, unless the date be wrong, as of the record is the name Mellers, who deceived Farmer, making him think it was a real new name. See Genealogical Registrar 1. 194 and lV. 269. He had, also, at Weymouth, if the date be right. Sarah, 4 April 1643; probably Mary, and, perhaps, others. Of no family in the land is the investigation more difiicult, the spelling more various, the dates more perverse, the deficiencies more numerous.

SAMUEL MELLEN, SAMUEL MELIN, SAMUEL MELLING, or other variations, Fairfield, died before 1659, and John Ufford of Milford had administration. It may be that this gentleman was Dutch, from Monhados, now New York.

SIMON MELLEN, SIMON MELIN, SIMON MELLING, or other variations, Boston, on Winnisemet side, perhaps son of Richard Mellen, by wife Mary, had Simon, born 25 September 1665; removed to Malden, had Thomas, August 1668; Richard, 2 March 1672; Mary; James, about 1682; and John, born in Watertown, 29 January 1686; removed to Sherborn, and died 19 December 1694. From him, through Thomas Mellen, descendant Prentiss Mellen, Harvard College 1784, distinguished as first Chief Justice of Maine. Seven of this name had been graduates at Harvard in 1834, and two at Bowd.

ABRAHAM MELLOWS, or ABRAHAM MELLHOUSE, Charlestown, administered of the church with wife Martha, and so Edward in 1633, freeman 14 May 1634, died as early as 1639, leaving six children says Felt, and Frothingham asserts, that he adventured £50 in the company which I presume, means before coming from England. His will was brought into court in June 1639.

EDWARD MELLOWS, or EDWARD MELLHOUSE, Charlestown, son of the preceding, bornin England, came probably with his father and mother, freeman 4 March 1634, constable 1637; wife Hannah, had Hannah, baptized 22 November 1636; Mary, 21 July 1638; Martha, 26 October 1640, who died 25 February 1643; Edward; Elizabeth 5 March 1644; and Abraham, 22 June 1645; was town clerk and selectman five years, died 5 May 1650, since which none of the name is known at Charlestown. His widow married 24 June 1651, Joseph Hills.

OLIVER MELLOWS, or OLIVER MELLHOUSE, Boston 1634, with wife Elizabeth, administered of our church 20 July, freeman 3 September following, disarmed In 1637, as one of the supporters of Wheelwright, had Samuel, baptized 7 December 1634; Martha, 6 March 1636; and Mary, 26 August 1638; soon after died at Braintree, and there probably had lived. His widow married 1640 or 1, Thomas Makepeace of Dorchester. Martha married 13 September 1655, Joseph Waters; and Mary, same day, married Emanuel Springfield.

DAVID MELVILLE, Barnstable 1691, merchant, removed to Eastham, there by wife, daughter of Reverend Samuel Willard, had Thomas, born 25 July, 1697; Mary, 31 July 1699; Abigail and Elizabeth twins 28 May 1702 ; and David 17 October 1704.

ISAAC MELYNE, ISAAC MELYENE or ISAAC MALINE, New Haven, brother of Jacob Melyne, whose father (always called Mr. without name of baptism as on list of those sworn to fidelity 7 April 1657) had probably brought them both from Holland or New York; but this son, the last mentioned is 1663, and whether he had wife and family or not is unknown. It must be very easy to distinguish this family from the numerous Mellens.

JACOB MELYNE, JACOB MELYENE or JACOB MALINE, New Haven, took oath of fidelity with his father (who had been there seated in the church as early as 1655, probably a Dutchman from New York), married 1662, perhaps, Hannah Hubbard, daughter of George Hubbard, but after 1663, had removed to Boston, was a leather seller, constable several years before and after 1695, he had been chosen guardian 27 July 1693, by his nephew Riderus, called himself son of Isaac, late of Virginia, planter. His will, of 27 September 1706, probated 26 December following, speaks of his advanced age and infirmed; names wife Hannah, and only two children Samuel Melyne, Harvard College 1696, and Abigail Tilley, wife of William Tilley, after of Honorable Samuel Sewall, Chief Justice, and explains his act in given equally to sons and daughters because for his liberal education he had expended £300. This son

SAMUEL MELYNE, SAMUEL MELYENE or SAMUEL MALINE, stands the lowest in the class, being ninth in the modern catalogue but in the old catalogue of the Magnalia, the class contained but eight. I found at the State House a letter from Samuel (teaching the grammar school 1700 at Hadley) to Cotton Mather, beginning his aid in restoring him to a higher rank; but the consequence was, that Mather had his cousin Roland Cotton inserted in the catalogue as second, next after Governor Vaughan, and poor Melyen took nothing but one peg lower by his motion. So that he had shown greater discretion in keeping quiet, than in asking the patronage of his Boston friend. His widow died November 1717.

SAMUEL MELYNE, SAMUEL MELYENE or SAMUEL MALINE, FairfieId, perhaps brother of Jacob Melyne, and uncle of the preceding. Had died before 1660.

JOHN MEPHAM, JOHN MAPHAM, or JOHN MIPHAM, Southampton, Long Island, 1673, printed Mepham in a valuable paper, 3 Massachusetts History Collection X. 88, was probably son of the preceding.

THOMAS MERCER, Boston, died 28 May 1699. In his will, of 8. April 1698, he names wife Elizabeth, and their children William, the eldest, Thomas and Sarah. Perhaps he had, in 1665, been of Sheepscot. Sullivan, 287.

TIMOTHY MERCER, Windsor 1649, of which all we know is he was fined that year. A Lucy Mercer came in the Defence, 1635, aged 19, from London.

His will of 10 December before, probated 4 April following, names wife Mary, brothers Joseph and George, and their children, and the widow died 22 July 1693, aged 72.

SAMUEL MERIAM, Lynn, perhaps son of William Meriam, married 22 December 1669, Elizabeth Townsend, may have removed to Concord, there became the freeman of 1690.

The will, of 15 March 1678, gives little light on family and his estate was not appraised before 30 April 1681, but Ann, daughter of John, was, by the widow in her will of 24 June 1697, considered.

He was freeman 1647, and died 27 November 1675 unless this date belongs to his eldest son.

JOHN METCALF, frequently JOHN MEDCALF in early records, New Haven 1645, a brickmaker, may have been son or brother of Stephen Metcalf, as about the year 1647, he removed.

JOSEPH METCALF, frequently JOSEPH MEDCALF in early records, Ipswich, freeman 4 March 1635, Representative in September of that year and often after, Died 21 July 1665, aged 60. By his will, we learn that his wife was Elizabeth, his son Thomas, born in England probably, and grandson Joseph, Mary, and Elizabeth but, perhaps they had died soon. His widow married 8 November 1670 Edward Beacham.

JOSEPH METCALF, frequently JOSEPH MEDCALF in early records, Ipswich, son of Thomas Metcalf, probably by wife Rebecca, had Jacob, born 8 June 1685, probably died soon; and Abigail, 29 March 1686.

MICHAEL METCALF, frequently MICHAEL MEDCALF in early records, Dedbam, born 1586, at Tatterford, in County Norfolk, was a dornock weaver at Norwich, and free of the city, where all his children were born, married 13 October 1616, Sarah, had Michael, born 13 November 1617, died soon; Mary, 14 October 1618, but the genealogy of the family in Registrar VI. 173, says 14 February 1619; Michael, again, 29 August 1620; John, 5 or 15 September 1622, before mentioned Sarah, 10 September 1624: Elizabeth, 4 October 1626; Martha, 27 March or October 1628, Thomas, 27 December 1629 or 30; Ann, 1 March 1631 or 34, died soon; Jane, 24 March 1632; and Rebecca, 5 April 1635; his wife was born at a village near Norwich, he says, 17 June 1593, but possibly the figures have been mistaken, as in the examination one week before the sailing of the ship, called I think, the Rose, of Yarmouth, from Yarmouth, April 1637, he calls himself 45 years; of age, and wife 39. "From the religious tyranny" exercised a by Wren, then Bishop of Norwich, he felt forced to escape even at the expense of separating from his family for a time, and embarked at London, 17 September 1636, for New England, but was sadly tormented by equal tempests on the water, and the ship at Christmas put back to Plymouth; and so far was this a happiness that in April following, he had license for the whole family to come; only 8 children are mentioned in the custom-house document. But can hardly doubt that the name of John was casually overlooked at Boston. He arrived "three days before middle summer with wife, nine children, and a servant" who was Thomas Comberbach, aged 16, I presume in one of the three ships mentioned by Winthrop as coming in, from Ipswich, 20 June. He may have been brother of Joseph Metcalf; was freeman 13 May 1640, or 18 May 1642, and, perhaps, swore on both days, though more probably it is a fault of the Secretary as in the list appears. His wife died 21 February 1645, and he married 13 August following Martha, widow of Thomas Pigg, or Thomas Pidge; and he died 27 December 1664. A very curious document, his engagment after 70 years of age to keep the town church in 1656, is given in Genealogical Registrar X. 282. His will, made six weeks before gives to eight children, Michael being dead, and each of the daughters married. Martha having then a second or third husband, to grandchild Michael, son of Michael, and grandchild William Brignall, son of daughter Martha, who was a member of Roxbury church. By her first husband and to Martha Bullard, daughter of his wife, Mary, married 24 November 1642, Henry Wilson, Sarah married Robert Onion, was his second wife the first having died in April 1643; Elizabeth married 5 September 1648, Thomas Bancroft of Reading; Martha married William Brignall, next, 2 August 1654, Christopher Smith as the Genealogical Registrar VI. 173, says, though I doubt its correctness, for Christopher Smith in 1668, is named in his will. By Jonathan Fairbanks as husband of his daughter Mary, and third husband . . Stow; Jane married 1654, Samuel Walker, (though strong doubts of error in the name are felt) of Rehoboth; and Rebecca married 5 April 1659, John Mackintosh.

MICHAEL METCALF, frequently MICHAEL MEDCALF in early records, Dedham, eldest son of the preceding, born in England, married 2 or 12 April 1644, Mary Fairbanks, daughter of John Fairbanks, says the Metcalf genealogy, before mentioned, but perhaps by mistake, had Michael, born 21 January 1645; Mary, 15 August 1646; Sarah, 7 December 1648; Jonathan, 21 September 1650; and Eleazer, 20 March 1653, before mentioned.

MICHAEL METCALF, frequently MICHAEL MEDCALF in early records, Dedham, son of the preceding, 17 September 1672, Elizabeth Fuller not, I think, as Goodwin has it, daughter, but widow of the second John Kingsbury, daughter of Thomas Fuller, both of the same, had Michael, born 9 May 1674, Mary, 3 October 1676; Thomas, 3 January 1679; Sarah, 26 April 1682; Eleazer, 12 February 1685; Hannah, 17 April 1687; Daniel, 25 July 1691; and Elizabeth; was freeman 1690, and died 2 September 1693. His widow died 24 October 1732.

STEPHEN METCALF, frequently STEPHEN MEDCALF in early records, New Haven 1639, a brickmaker, after 1647 probably removed, was in good repute.

THOMAS METCALF, frequently THOMAS MEDCALF in early records, Dedham, youngest son of the first Michael Metcalf, born in England, married 12 September 1656, Sarah Paige, had Sarah, born 3 March 1658; Mary, baptized 25 November 1660; Samuel, born 17 0ct. 1661, died soon; Thomas; 22 September 1663, died soon; Samuel, again, 17 September 1668; Thomas, again, 7 or 21 May 1671; John, 20 September 1675; and Judith, 25 November 1677, died at 5 years. The wife died, and he married 2 December 1679, Ann Paine of Rehoboth, was freeman 1653, Deacon, and Representative 1691, died 16 November 1702. Sarah married 23 November 1676, Samuel Whiting, and died 1702.

THOMAS METCALF, frequently THOMAS MEDCALF in early records, Ipswich 1648, son of Joseph Metcalf the first, born in England I suppose, had Mary, born 23 June 1658; Joseph, 27 January 1661; Thomas, 4 December 1667; besides probably Elizabeth named in the will of grandfather. He was freeman 1674. Of the mother of these children we know nothing; but he may have died, and one Thomas Metcalf of Ipswich, a widower, married 1658, widow Lydia Davis. Still more uncertainty is felt unless we give him another wife for the widow of Thomas Metcalf named Abigail, died at I. 5 May 1727, aged 88 years. An earlier Thomas Metcalf of Ipswich is found by Mr. Felt to be inhabitant there 1638.

THOMAS METCALF, frequently THOMAS MEDCALF in early records, Dedham, son of the first Thomas Metcalf, married 24 November 1696, Sarah Avery, daughter of William Avery, the second of the name, had Sarah, born 26 April 1698, died in few weeks; Samuel, 9 April 1699, died at 14 years; Thomas, 30 December 1701; and Sarah, 1 December 1703, and he died 12 December 1704; and his widow married 6 April 1709, Joseph Wight, and died 1748. Two of this name had, in 1829, been graduates at Harvard and seven at the other New England colleges. It is often in old records written as no doubt it was sounded Medcalf.

DANIEL METHUP, Watertown, married 25 or 27 March 1664 (Bond gives both dates) Bethia Beers, perhaps daughter of Anthony Beers, had Bethia, born 24 February 1665; Mary, 13 September 1666; Daniel, 10 May 1668; Robert, 31 August 1671; Isaac, 22 December 1672; Sarah, 14 February 1675; Abigail, 2 June 1678; and Hannah, 31 July 1681. He died 24 February 1717, and his widow died 22 February 1722. Dissatisfaction with all the forms of this name, Bond inquiry if it be not perversion of Maddock.

ELLIS MEW, New Haven, took oath of fidelity 1654, is one of the freeman 1669, by wife Ann Giggons, daughter of William Gibbons, had Ann; and Dodd, 135, tells no more. In his list of deaths is Ann, only child 1681, and Ann, widow February 1704. But he might have added, that the husband and father died 1681; and in 1685 his heirs appear, as proprietors without discriminating, as he had not long been dead.

JOHN MICO, Boston 1689, merchant, married 20 August of that year Mary Brattle, daughter of Thomas Brattle, and died October 1718. His widow died 22 December 1733.

JOSEPH MIDDLEBROOK, Concord, went with Reverend John Jones to Fairfield 1644, in 1670 was proprietor there, called senior and probably died in November 1686, the inventory of his estate being 22 of that month.

JOHN MIGHILL, Suffield, was, perhaps, son of Thomas Mighill of Rowley, died 1702. John, Thomas, Nathaniel, and Nicholas, but no daughter is named.

NATHANIEL MIGHILL, Rowley, son of the first Thomas Mighill, was probably a merchant, and died 13 October 1677, without issue.

SAMUEL MIGHILL, Rowley, son of Thomas Mighill, was perhaps born before coming to our country, married 21 November 1657, Elizabeth Toppan, daughter of Abraham Toppan of Newbury, was taxed in 1691,

STEPHEN MIGHILL, Rowley, son, probably youngest of Thomas Mighill of the same, married Sarah Phillips, daughter of Reverend Samuel Phillips, had Nathaniel, born 1684; and two daughters.

THOMAS MIGHILL, Roxbury, with wife Ellen, was administered of the church perhaps as early as 1637, at least the name is entered prior to that of Reverend John Miller, who he accompanied from Roxbury, to Rowley, 1639, was Deacon of the church gathering 3 December 1639, freeman 13 May 1640, Representative 1648; had Samuel, possibly born in England, but more probably not; Thomas Mighill, at Rowley, 29 October 1639, Harvard College 1663; John; Ezekiel, 1642; Timothy, 1644; Nathaniel, 1646; Stephen, 1651; and two daughters of who one was Mary.

THOMAS MIGHILL, Scituate, son of the preceding, preached some years, married at Roxbury, 8 November 1669, Bethia Weld, daughter perhaps, of Joseph Weld (more probably of Daniel Weld), and had daughter Elizabeth, baptized 30 April 1671; and Hannah, 22 March 1674; before going to Scituate, and there had Mary, born 1683, Samuel, 1685, Harvard College 1704; and Grace, 1688, was ordained over the second church at Scituate 15 October 1684, and died 26 August 1689. Deane. His son Samuel Mighill taught the grade school at Hadley, perhaps after at Milton, married and lived some years at Hartford, but was poor, went back to Hadley, died at Scituate. Hadley 11 April 1769, long supported by the town.

WILLIAM MILBURNE, Saco, was the minister 1685, according to Folsom, 137, probably died at Boston, August 1699.

HENRY MILBURY, or HENRY MILLBURY, York 1680, had a family for the will of William Dixon gave something to his children and he may have married a daughter of Dixon.

RICHARD MILBURY, or RICHARD MILLBURY, York 1680, perhaps son of the preceding, swore allegiance 1681, as did Henry Milbury.

WILLIAM MILDMAY, son of Sir Henry Mildmay of Graces, in Essex, Harvard College 1647, though sent by his father with a tutor from England Richard Lyon, is ranked lowest in his class, yet had his A.M. in regular course. Sir Walter Mildmay, of the same family was founder, in the time of Queen Elizabeth of Emanuel College at the University of Cambridge, which supplied New England in its early days, as Farmer remarks, with some of the chief lights that illuminated its churches. And well may be added the venerable Governor Bradstreet.

JOHN MILES, Concord 1637, freeman 14 March 1639, by wife Sarah, had Mary, born 11 February 1640, and, perhaps, no other children. His wife died 18 July 1678, and he married Susanna, widow of John Rediat, had John, born 20 May 1680; Samuel, 19 February 1682; and Sarah, 25 May 1686; died 28 August 1693, having made his will two years before in which are mentioned children of both wives. His widow married 10 November 1698, William Wilson of Billerica; Sarah married 10 May 1670, Edward Putnam of Salem.

JOHN MILES, New Haven, son of the first Richard Miles, married 11 April 1665, Elizabeth Harriman, daughter of John Harriman of the same, had Elizabeth, born 21 December following; John, 9 January 1668; Mary, 10 March 1670; Richard, 21 March 1672; and Samuel, 6 April 1674. His wife died 31 December 1675, and he married 2 November 1680, Mary Alsop, daughter of Joseph Alsop, of the same, had Hannah, 10 August 1681; Daniel, 20 September 1683; and Joseph, 26 October 1690. He was a Captain, made his will 28 November 1700, but lived to 7 November 1704; and the widow died 16 October 1705; freeman 1669, Lieutenant in 1675, and proprietor in 1685.

JOHN MILES, Boston, minister of the First Baptist Church, removed 1683 to Swansey.

JOHN MILES, Concord, son of the first John Miles, married 16 April 1702, Mary Prescot, daughter of Dr. Jonathan Prescot, had John, born 24 December 1704, Jonathan, 13 February 1706; Mary, 18 October 1709; Elizabeth, 16 November 1714, died young, James, 1 August 1719; and Benjamin, 26 November 1724; and died 23 August 1725.

JOSEPH MILES, Salem, arraigned as a Quaker 1659, may have been the passenger who took the oath of supremacy and allegiance 26 March 1634, passage for New England in the Mary and John, though it may be he was his son, for we hear not where the passenger sat down. He married 18 January 1662, Mary Whelan, as in Essex Institute II. 297 is told, but I fear the ceremony was not legal. However, as his wife died next year perhaps no prosecution was had; and he was married in a more satisfactory way, 7 November 1664, to Exercise Felton, had Mary, born 1 April 1666; Susanna, 7 October 1667; Abigail, 5 July 1669; and Mary, again, 27 March 1671.

RICHARD MILES, Milford 1639, New Haven, 1643, then had 7 in his family of who Samuel was baptized at 12 April 1640, being the first in that town; but at New Haven, Hannah, October 1642; and John, October 1644; but the days of both are unknown, as though Hannah's is given in print 7, it is wrong, in that most valuable list, with so many other errors, furnished by the scrupulous Henry White of that city. After spending in each day of a whole week, not a few hours, in comparison that record as thus published, I wrote to ask explanation of the discrepancies and errors, and obtained full answer. The town clerk's entries may be relied on, in opposition to those of the church, that, I am happy to say, is contrary to common experience. Take page 39 of Genealogical Registrar IX. where names of 80 baptized are given and only one half are true, 27 being positively false, and 13 more deficient in days. Two children of Reverend William Hooke are correctly entered; but of two of John Davenport, the son of the pastor, one is clearly wrong, 19 November 1666, which was Monday. We know that ordination was never allowed on a week day. He died 7 January 1667. In his will of 28 December 1666, names wife Catherine, eldest son Richard, and to other children without names, makes division. In 1651 he was Representative. His wife was, no doubt, a second or third wife, for in the will which was probated 13 June 1667, a footnote provided for his children, he gave residue to her, because she had considerable, when he married her, part of which belonged to her children by former husband. She died 27 January 1687, at Wallingford. Of the daughters, Martha married 20 0ct. 1650, George Pardee; Mary married 12 December 1654, Jonathan Ince, and next, October 1661, Reverend Thomas Hanford; Ann married 3 November 1664, Samuel Street, minister of Wallingford.

RICHARD MILES, New Haven, who swore fidelity 1654, then called junior, may have been son of the first wife, but we know no more.

RICHARD MILES, Boston, by wife Experience, had Elizabeth, born 22 December 1664; and Richard, 10 October 1667.

SAMUEL MILES, Dedham 1642, freeman 1645, by wife Frances, had Samuel, baptized 29 March 1646, died next month; Benjamin, 13 April 1651, before mentioned; Elizabeth, 5 December 1652, and Rebecca, 17 May 1657.

SAMUEL MILES, Boston, married 16 October 1659, Elizabeth Dowse, daughter of Francis Dowse, had Samuel, born 27 April 1662.

SAMUEL MILES, New Haven, freeman 1669, who died 24 December 1678, was son of the first Richard Miles. By first wife, had John, born 29 January 1664, who died young. He married second wife 9 April 1667, Hannah Wilmot, daughter of the second Benjamin Wilmot, had Samuel, born and died 1668; Abigail, 3 January 1670; Samuel, again, 15 July 1672; Stephen, 5 December 1674; and Theophilus, 17 March 1677; the last four were living at his death. His widow married 20 September 1681 Miles Merwin, junior .

SAMUEL MILES, Concord, son of the first John Miles of the same, married 28 January 1706, Sarah Foster, had Samuel, born 20 March 1707; Joseph, 8 August 1709; Sarah, 1 September 1711; Ezekiel, 26 December 1713; Esther, 10 September 1716; Martha, 18 March 1719; Nathan, 14 January 1721; Reuben, 12 December 1723; and Charles, 28 June 1727. Whether some of the foregoing should be spelled Mills, or whether others should be brought in here from that platoon, I have vainly labored to ascertain. In the old records we may find the same man, often, in or under different names.

JOHN MILK, or JOHN MILKE, Salem, authorized chimney sweeper 1663. He married 3 April 1665, Sarah Weston, probably daughter of John Weston, had John, born 8 January 1669; and Mary, 22 March 1670.

JOHN MILLARD, Rehoboth, a tanner, had a son of the same name, perhaps before 1658. Baylies, II. 208.

THOMAS MILLARD, Boston, had a lot for five heads, granted him at Mount Wollaston 1639.

ABRAHAM MILLER, Charlestown, had Susanna, baptized 12 June 1692. He was, perhaps, son of James Miller, the Scotchman.

ABRAHAM MILLER, Northampton, youngest son of William Miller of the same, married 1 January 1700, Hannah Clapp, daughter of Elder Preserved Clapp, had John, born 4 February 1701; Abraham, 29 November 1702; Jonathan, 12 March 1704; died young; Roger, 22 July 1705; Hannah, 24 October 1707; Wait, 26 July 1711; Zebediah, 6 November 1713; William, 21 September 1716; and Seth, 25 June 1719. Both the last named died soon; and he died 7 February 1727. His widow married 1729, Lieutenant John Parsons, and died 8 November 1758.

ALEXANDER MILLER, Dorchester 1637, freeman 2 May 1638, was never married that we hear of, or at least no children is mentioned.

ANDREW MILLER, Enfield, an early settler, died 1708, aged 60, had David Miller, who married 1713, Hannah Miller, and died 1715.

EBENEZER MILLER, Northampton, son of William Miller of the same, married 1688, Sarah Allen, daughter of Samuel Allen of the same, had Mary, born about 1689; John, 12 January 1692 died young; Ebenezer, 15 August 1696; Jonathan; Hannah, 20 August 1700; Joseph, 4 June 1705; Aaron, 6 November 1708; Patience; and John, again; and died 23 December 1737. His will, of 1735, names wife, the five sons, and two daughters living, and children of daughter Patience.

EPHRIAM MILLER, Kittery, before 1690, had, besides Samuel, Martha, who, who married John Wentworth of Dover, and Mary, who married Ephraim Wentworth.

HUMPHREY MILLER, Reading, by Mr. Eaton inserted among early settlers, married at Cambridge, 12 September 1677, Elizabeth Smith, had not issue known to me.

JAMES MILLER, Charleston, perhaps son of Richard Miller, married 25 November 1673, Hannah George, daughter of John George, who joined the church 15 April 1677, and was then baptized, had James, born 19 December 1674; Hannah, 16, baptized 22 July 1677; Elinor, baptized 16 May 1680; James, again born 1, baptized 5 February 1682; Richard, 13, baptized 19 0ct. 1684; Elizabeth, 27 December 1686, baptized 2 January following; John, born 27 August 1688; Mary, 6, baptized 15 June 1690, and Ruth, 31 December 1693, baptized 7 January following; and he died 10 January 1705; aged about 64. His widow died 11 December 1733, aged 78. He died 2 August 1676, Farmer says, though a doubt arises as to the justness of the date, except for that of death of his first born child. None of this name was ever heard of at Charleston a short time prior, certainly no householder in 1658. Yet in December 1676 a James Miller is adminstered of the church, and freeman in May following, and in March of next year two James Millers are among the householders, probably moving in from neighboring town, one of which was selectman 1690, and another perhaps the Scotchman, whose son was probably the other, for his death was 14 July 1690, and his wife Mary joined to the church 5 August 1677, being part that day, with her eight children, James, Mary, Robert, Job, Abraham, Isaac, Mercy, and Jane. The record of his father’s death 1 August 1688, calls him "senior, an aged Scotchman, above 70." Still another

JAMES MILLER, probably not of Charlestown, a soldier, was killed by the Indians 4 September 1675, near Northfield, with his Captain Beers.

JAMES MILLER, Norwalk, 1671, who we hear no more, except that he lived at Rye nine years after.

JOHN MILLER Dorchester 1636, by some though not by me, perhaps son of Richard Miller the first, had share in 1637, says Harris, of the lands in the neck, now South Boston; but he was rather of Roxbury, in my opinion, for there is record of his daughter Mehitable, born 12 July 1638, and with wife Lydia, he belonged to Eliot 's church of which he was an elder, was bred at Gonville and Caius College Cambridge, where he took his A.B. 1627, freeman 22 May 1639, without the prefix of respect; brought from England John, born March 1632, perhaps had there other children or after coming here, may have had at Roxbury, or at Rowley, some not mentioned, went to be minister 1639 at Rowley, and was also the first town clerk there, where he had Lydia, born 2 February or 12 April 1640, as the numerals are read both ways, continued only two or three years, and he was invited to go on the mission of 1642 to Virginia but declined it, and soon after accepted the call to Yarmouth, Cape Cod; yet he can hardly have been long resided there. At Roxbury, again he was living, had Susanna, born 2 May, by Yarmouth record but by Roxbury 24, baptized 29 August 1647, who died at Charlestown, unmarried 14 October 1669; Elizabeth, 13 October 1649; perhaps preached where any temporary want existed. His wife died at Boston, 7 August 1658, and he died at Groton, 12 June 1669. His son John took administration of his estate 3 July following. His daughter Mehitable married John Crow of Yarmouth; Lydia married a Fish of Sandwich; Faith married 3 August 1664, Nathaniel Winslow of Marshfield, and died 9 November 1729; Elizabeth married Samuel Frost of Billerica; Hannah married 22 May 1666; Joseph Frost of Charlestown; and Mary, the youngest I suppose, married 8 November 1677, John Whittmore of Charlestown.

JOHN MILLER, Dover 1647, was, perhaps of Kennebec, 1665, as in Sullivan, 287, and swore allegiance to the King 1681.

JOHN MILLER, Yarmouth, son of Reverend John Miller, born in England, married 24 December 1659, Margaret Winslow, daughter of the first Josiah Winslow, had Lydia, born 18 May 1661; Rebecca, 7 November 16; Hannah, 19 April 1666; Margaret, 19 April 1668; Mehitable, 14 May 1670; John, 20 February 1673 ; Margaret, again, 2 March 1675; Susanna, 26 July 1677; Josiah, 27 October 1679; and John, again, 16 October 1681. He was Representative 1671-82; of his daughters we find marriages of the first three, viz.: Lydia, 29 December 1681, Jacob Cook; Rebecca, 15 February 1682, to Thomas Clark; and Hannah, 12 February 1690, to Joseph Hall.

JOHN MILLER, Rehoboth 1643, may have gone from Dorchester, but not so probable as that he was father of John, Ichabod, and Robert, who all appear there in division of lands 1668. His wife Elizabeth was buried 18 April 1680.

JOHN MILLER, Wethersfield, one of the first settlers about 1636; removed 1642 to Stamford, there died very soon, leaving widow; and sons John, Jonathan, and Joseph, all living 1666, when his will was brought in 6 November, though his widow had married Obadiah Seely, bore him three children, and was at the same time called to make inventory for her latter husband.

JOHN MILLER, Stamford 1662, son of John Miller of the same, had a child born that year and was granted land 1667, proposed for freeman 1669, and in 1687 was rated for good estate. But in 1697 he with his brothers Jonathan and Joseph, are enumerated in the patent of Bedford, set off from Stamford to the New York jurisdiction by the new line of boundary, which in 1701, left no Millers in Stamford. Jonathan had been in 1672 a resident of Stamford. A John Miller, who came as a passenger in the Speedwell, from London, 1656, aged 24, may have been that gentleman of Yarmouth, with those years he precisely agrees or the inhabitant of Cape Porpus 1680, who was Representative in 1685, at that Court held under authority of Massachusetts by President Danforth.

JOHN MILLER, Yarmouth, son of John Miller of the same, grandson of Reverend John Miller, married 23 January 1707, Thankful Howes.

JOSEPH MILLER, came in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, from London, aged 15, perhaps son of some one thath has come before, may have been of Dover 1647, and may be the same as the next.

JOSEPH MILLER, Newbury, had wife Mary, who, Coffin says, had been widow of Captain John Cutting, and died 6 March 1663, but in another place, 6 May 1664; and he died 21 July 1681.

JOSEPH MILLER, Marlborough, freeman 1685, may be the man of Cambridge, who married Mary Pope, only daughter of Water Pope, had Thomas, born 9 April 1675; Samuel, 24 September 1678; and probably Joseph of Newton, who died 1711; and Jane, who died 1719. He died 1697, and his widow died 1711. Perhaps he was son of Richard Miller.

JOSIAH MILLER, Yarmouth, son of the second John Miller of the same, died 15 April 1729, and his widow Mary died at Pembroke, 15 February 1772, "aged 94 years wanting a few days," says family report probably with some exaggeration.

LAZARUS MILLER, Springfield, son of Obadiah Miller, took oath of allegiance 1678, as did at the same time,

OBADIAH MILLER, and OBADIAH MILLER junior, of the former, were Lazarus, born 1655; Obadiah, 1658; and Joanna, 1659; his wife Joanna died

NICHOLAS MILLER, Plymouth, whose will of 24 October 1665 bears the name Hodges, also, may therefore be the same person borne on the list of those able to bear arms, 1643.

PAUL MILLER, Boston, by wife Elizabeth, had Sarah, born 21 February 1692; and he lived not long after

RICHARD MILLER, Charlestown, came, perhaps, in 1637 and had grant of a lot, it is said, in 1638, but as neither Frothingham, in the History of the town, nor Budington, in that of the church mentioned him, we may suppose he died early. Elinor, who joined the church 4 November 1643, may have been his wife or widow. She married Henry Herbert and died 17 November 1667; and her daughter Hannah Miller married 17 June 1663, Nathaniel Dade, and after his death married 4 October 1667, John Edmands, and next, married 22 May 1684, Deacon Aaron Ludkin, long outlived him, and died 13 December 1717.

RICHARD MILLER, Kittery, had Samuel, Martha, and Mary; was dead before June 1694; and his widow Grace married Christopher Benfield. Mary married Ephraim Wentworth. But she may, as also the brother and sister belong to Ephraim Miller, as claimed by the Wentworths.

ROBERT MILLER, a soldier under Captain Turner 1676, probably present in the Falls fight, may have come from Rehoboth, certainly from some East part. At Rehoboth he had Solomon, born 6 March 1674; Mary, 14 June 1680.

ROBERT MILLER, Boston, by wife Lydia, had Lydia, born 25 January 1666; is possibly the same as the preceding.

SAMUEL MILLER, Rehoboth, married 20 July 1682 Esther Bowen, had Esther, born 4 April following and, perhaps, he had second wife Rebecca Belcher, daughter of Joseph Belcher.

THOMAS MILLER, Rowley 1646, had license to sell wines, next year may have removed to Middletown.

THOMAS MILLER, Boston, planter, had estate of about three acres, adjoining the town common, sold in 1668, to Thomas Deane.

THOMAS MILLER, Springfield, married 1649, Sarah Marshfield, daughter of Thomas Marshfield, had Sarah, born 1650; Thomas, 1653; Samuel, John, 1657; Joseph, 1659, died soon; Josiah, 1660; Deborah, 1662; Martha, 1664, died soon; Martha, again, 1665; Ebenezer, 1667; Mehitable, 1669; Joseph, again, 1671; and Experience, a daughter 1673; and he was killed by the Indians September 1675, as may have been his son John next year in the great Falls fight. Five daughters and four sons were married at Springfield.

THOMAS MILLER, Middletown, an early settler from Rowley, by wife Isabel, who died 1666, had Ann, that married about 1653, Nathaniel Bacon; and when about 56 years old, took, 6 June, 1666, second wife Sarah Nettleton, daughter of Samuel Nettleton, of Branford, a girl probably not older than his daughter Ann; had Thomas, born 6 May, 1666, which date proves that some interference of a judicial kind had been invoked or was after; Samuel, 1 April 1668; Joseph, 21 August 1670; Benjamin, 10 or 20 July, 1672; John, 10 March 1674, Margaret, 1 September 1676; Sarah, 7 January 1679; and Mehitable, posthumous 28 March 1681. He died 14 August 1680, and in his will, three days before calls himself about 70. In the record September following these children on the division of estate are named, Thomas, aged 14; Samuel, 12; Joseph, 10; Benjamin, 8; Margaret, 4; and Sarah, 1. His widow married a Harris, perhaps Thomas; and Sarah married Smith Johnson of Woodstock.

THOMAS MILLER, Springfield, son of Thomas of the same, was in the Falls fight 1676, married December 1681, Rebecca Leonard, daughter of John Leonard, had Thomas and Rebecca, and died 1690.

THOMAS MILLER, Middletown, eldest son of Thomas Miller of the same, married 1688, Elizabeth Turner, perhaps daughter of Edward Turner of the same, had Thomas, born 1692; Abigail, 1694; and Elizabeth 1695. His wife died this year and he married 1696, Mary Rowell, had Mary, 1697, who died at 16 years; Stephen, 1699; James, 1700; Elizabeth, 1702; Eunice, 1704; Patience 1707; and Deborah, 1708, who died at 5 years; and he died 24 September 1727. Farmer had given one of this baptismal name at Dorchester, but I am confident that it was a mistake by his informer for Millet.

WILLIAM MILLER, Ipswich 1648, probably removed with earliest settlers to Northampton, by wife Patience, had Mary; Rebecca, died young; Patience, born 15 September 1657; William, 30 November 1668, February 1662; Ebenezer, 7 June 1664; Mehitable, 10 July 1666; Thankful, 25 April 1669; and Abraham, 20 January 1672, was freeman 1690; and died 15 July 1690. His will was of 1668, and his widow died 16 March 1716, quite aged. Mercy married 1687, John Fowler of Westfield,

WILLIAM MILLER, Wethersfield, East side of the River which became Glastonbury, son of the preceding, was a tanner, had decent estate of £348, and died 1705, leaving William, aged 11; John, 4; Jonathan, 1; and three daughters of who with return of the inventory the names and ages appear, Mary, 8; Martha, 7; and Sarah, 6; all living in 1721, to claim portion as heirs of their grandfather of certain wild lands in Northfield. Chapin, 192, has a slight error; in given him a brother John Miller. For his wife's name, that is not mentioned at Glastonbury, we may succeed in the records of Saybrook, by finding that he married 19 April 1693, Mary Bushnell, I suppose daughter of John Bushnell, and there had William, born 9 February following. Seven of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard, ten at Yale, and fifteen at other New England colleges.

BENJAMIN MILLERD, BENJAMIN MILLARD, or BENJAMIN MILWARD, JOSEPH MILLERD, JOSEPH MILLARD, or JOSEPH MILWARD, ROBERT MILLERD, ROBERT MILLARD, or ROBERT MILWARD, and SAMUEL MILLERD, SAMUEL MILLARD, or SAMUEL MILWARD were of Rehoboth 1690.

THOMAS MILLERD, THOMAS MILLARD, THOMAS MILWARD, Gloucester, a fisherman, or mariner, was selectman 1642, removed to Newbury, had Ann, perhaps born there in November of that year; Rebecca; and Elizabeth after but did not sell his estate at Gloucester before 1652. He made his will 30 August 1653, and died 2 days after at Boston. I think his daughter Rebecca married 27 May 1656, at Boston, Thomas Thorpe. Coffin supposes he was that mate of the Hector, mentioned in Winthrop I. 187; but I doubt it. Wife Ann, and children Rebecca and Elizabeth under 18 years are mentioned in the will.

JOHN MILLET, Gloucester, son of Thomas Millet of the same, married 3 July 1663, Sarah Leach, had John, born 23 October 1665, died soon; Hannah, 9 March 1667; John, again, 22 April 1669; Thomas, 23 November 1671; Sarah, 1 July 1674, died next year Andrew, 9 May 1676, died in few days; and Elizabeth, 24 October 1677; and he died 3 November 1678, leaving widow Sarah.

NATHANIEL MILLET, Gloucester, brother of the preceding, married 3 May 1670, Ann Lester, daughter of Andrew Lester, had Mary, born 29 June 1671, died young; Daniel, 31 July 1673, died next day; Thomas, 9 March 1675; Nathaniel, 2 March 1677; Abigail, 12 October 1679; Andrew, 6 July 1681; besides 5 more, of which one was Nathan, born 1685. His wife died 9 March 1718, and he died 7 November 1719.

RICHARD MILLET, probably came in the fleet with Winthrop but no more of him is known than that he required administration 19 October 1630, when his name is spelled Myllett, and was sworn freeman 11 June 1633.

THOMAS MILLET, Dorchester, came in the Elizabeth, from London, 1635, aged 30, with wife Mary, 29, and childrenThomas, 2; had here, John, 8 July 1638; Jonathan, 27 July 1638, died next month; Mary, 21 August 1639; and Mehitable, 14 March 1642; Nathaniel, 1647; perhaps also Bethia, who married 3 August 1666, Moses Eyres or Ayres (as Mr. Drake, in Genealogical Registrar V. 402, says), and died 15 April 1669. He was freeman 17 May 1637, and his wife Mary Greenoway, married in England, was daughter of John Greenoway. In 1642 he removed to Gloucester, and after several years to Brookfield, there died 1676, as did his widow 1682. Farmer had given the two sons born at Dorchester to a supposition Miller; but more curious was the error of Dagget (who usually is very scrupulous in correctness), for his History of Attleborough gives all the children of Millet from our record to Willett, the Captain of Rehoboth, who was first mayor of New York, after its conquence as the mistake had not then been detected, Bliss following it in his History of Rohoboth.

THOMAS MILLET, Gloucester, son of the preceding, married 21 May 1655, Mary Eveleth, daughter of Sylvester Eveleth, who died 2 July 1687, perhaps without having children, and he next married Abigail Coit, widow of Isaac Eveleth, daughter of John Coit, and died 18 June 1707.

SIMON MILLING, Watertown, an old man, had five children Simon, Richard, Mary, James, and John, all baptized December 1686; but it is not told who was their mother. Perhaps she was dead and he had lately removed thither, which conjecture may be favored by the mention of baptism of a young man, Thomas Milling on 17 October preceding. Rare will be the occurrence of such a name.

JOHN MILLINGTON, Windsor, married 1668, Sarah Smith, removed to Suffield, there had John, born 1675; Henry, 1679; probably others. His son John was at Coventry 1716 and after.

BENJAMIN MILLS, Dedham 1677, had lived there, I suppose, more than 30 years but nothing definite can be found.

EDWARD MILLS, Dorchester, son of John Mills of Braintree, married Mehitable Minot, daughter of Stephen Minot, widow of the younger Henry Messinger, who died 16 August 1690, aged 25 had Stephen. He taught the school in Dorchester French 1687 to 92, and after a school in Boston, partly under the patronage of the London Society for propagation the Gospel, and died 7 November 1732.

JAMES MILLS, Lynn, may have come from Southold, Long Island, where in 1663, was one of this name, married 1 April 1671, Martha Alley, daughter of Hugh Alley, had Martha, born 14 June 1672; James, 9 September 1674, died young; Sarah, 27 February 1676; James, again, 11 October 1678; and Dorothy, 21 April 1681. Lewis calls him the first permanant inhabitant at Nahant.

JOHN MILLS, Boston, came probably in the fleet with Winthrop, for among the members of the First Church his name is No. 33, and his wife Susanna next, desired administration as freeman 19 October 1630, and was sworn 6 March 1632. His daughters Joy and Recompense, were baptized In October 1630, being the first on our church record; John, 3 June 1632; Jonathan, 30 August 1635; and James, 3 June 1638. Vinton, 341, gives him, also, Susanna, born in England, and Mary born about 1640, according to Vinton; but I think she must be counted before 1630, and born in England. He soon removed to Braintree, and with wife was recommended 5 December 1641, to the church there, was town clerk 1653. Susanna, his wife died 10 December 1675, in her 80th year. He made his will 12 January 1678, probated 10 September following, in which he names daughters Mary Hawkins and Susanna Dawes, and his only son John is charged to bring up one of his sons unto learning, that he may be fit for the minister which was, he says, the employment of my predecessor to 3d if not 4th generation. The grandson Edward Mills, Harvard College 1685, seems not to have obeyed the will of his ancestors though he lived to 1732; but perhaps the fourth generation was more regardful, at least Jonathan Mills, Harvard College 1723, was a minister.

JOHN MILLS, Searborough, had John, James, Sarah, and Mary, who were all charged with neglect of public worship; and Sarah's defence subjected her to stripes.

JOHN MILLS, Braintree, son of the first John Mills, married 26 April 1653, Elizabeth Shove, probably sister of Reverend George Shove, who died 18 August 1711, in 81st year. Had Elizabeth, born 5 March or 1 July (as the first numeral is counted for month or for day) by different reading 1654; Sarah, 9 June 1656, John, 13 April 1660; Jonathan, 9 September 1662; Edward, 29 June 1665, Harvard College 1685; Joanna or Susanna, 12 March 1668, died next year; Mary, 1 April 1670; Nathaniel, 22 April 1672; and Susanna, 23 September 1676. His sons John and Nathaniel lived at Braintree and both had families. There was a John Mills, having family at Dedham 1676, perhaps brother of Benjamin Mills.

JOHN MILLS, of Boston, whose will of 22 October 1651 is abstracted in Genealogical Registrar lV. 28, though his inventory shows a good amount of property was probably only a transient trader; at least, he names no wife or children, but after a few trifling gifts, directs the bulk of the estate to go to his friends in the Canaries.

JOHN MILLS, Simsbury, son of Simon Mills the second, by wife Sarah, had John, born about 1690; Joseph, and Benjamin, a 1694; and Sarah, about 1696; and he died 11 March 1698.

PETER MILLS, Windsor, in a tradition of very light esteem, probably a modern excercise of it, said to have come from Holland, a tailor, with the name of Van Molyn (turned into English Mills), when relations between the two nations had long been hostile, strangely said to have been born so late as 1666, married before 1672, Dorcas Messenger, daughter of Edward Messenger, who died 18 May, 1688, had Peter, and probably other children, perhaps Samuel, certainly Ebenezer, who died 8 February 1687; Return, died 12 July 1689; and Eleazer, died 1698, all probably young, but dates of birth of neither is seen, and married 10 December 1691, a second wife Jane Warren, or Jane Fannin, Hartford, as another statement is; and he died 12 April 1702.

PETER MILLS, Windsor, son of the preceding, married 21 Jul 1692, Joan Porter, had Pelathia, born 27 April 1693, who was a lawyer; Gideon, 3 February 1695, died soon; Jedediah, 23 May 1697, Yale College 1722; Peter, 22 April 1700, died soon, and Peter, again, 12 April 1701; Ann, 1703; John, 1706; David, 1709; Ebenezer, 1712; and Gideon, again, 15 August 1715, Yale College 1737. But Stiles omits, 704, the two last, as well as Ann, and varies in John and David.

RICHARD MILLS, Stratford, and after 1653, at Stamford, removed 1663 to West Chester.

ROBERT MILLS, Kittery, perhaps brother of Joseph Mills, died 1647, leaving wife Dorothy, who married John Harker of York, and four children.

SAMUEL MILLS, Windsor, married 18 October 1639, wife Joanna, who died 5 July 1639, and he died 19 May 1661. But I fear the same incident may be ascribed to Simon or Simeon by easy confusing of names.

SAMUEL MILLS, Dedham 1642, had wife Frances, and children Samuel, baptized 29 March 1646, died next month; Benjamin, 13 April 1651; Elizabeth, 5 December 1632; and Rebecca, 17 May 1657; yet the parents of this last, not being mentioned at the time, on church record she may have been daughter of Benjamin Miles, whose surname is not unfrequently given as Mills.

SAMUEL MILLS, Stratford 1668, removed to Long Island, and died 1685, at Southhampton.

SIMON MILLS, Windsor 1639, married that year probably second wife Joan, who died childless, July 1659. Date of his death is unknown.

SIMON MILLS, Windsor, perhaps son of the preceding, born in England, though he may possibly be the same, but not likely, married 23 February 1660, Mary Buell, daughter of William Buell, had Samuel and Simon, twins born 23 April 1661, both died next month. Mary, 8 December 1662; Hannah, 1665; Simon, again, 1 May 1667; John, 2 January 1669; Sarah, 16 September 1670; removed to Simsbury, and had Abigail, 1672; Elizabeth, 1674, Prudence, 1676; and Simon, again, 1678. The first two and the fourth child died before him, and he died 6 July, 1683. Both the sons lived at Simsbury.

THOMAS MILLS, Wells, freeman 1653, was constable 1664. Three of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard, eighteen at Yale, and two at other New England colleges.

MICHAEL MILNER, Lynn, came in the James, from London, 1635, aged 23, removed to Long Island 1640, says Lewis.

JEFFREY MINGAY, Hampton, freeman 13 May 1640, Representative 1650, died 11 July, 1658. Ann, probably his widow married Christopher Hussey, and died 24 June, 1680.

ROBERT MINGO, Newbury, wife Elizabeth, had Thomas, born 2 June 1689; and Robert, 11 October 1697. Coffin affords no derivation of this person, and I indulge the conjecture that the name is identical with the last preceding, and possibly that man was father of this.

CLEMENT MINOR, or CLEMENT MINER, New London 1666, fourth son of Thomas Minor, administered freeman that year, married 1662, Frances, widow of young Isaac Willey, had Mary, born 19 January 1665; Joseph, 6 August 1666; Clement 6 October 1668; William, 6 November 1670; and Ann, 30 November 1672; his wife died 6 January following, and he married Martha Wellman, daughter of William Wellman, had Phebe, 13 April 1679. This second wife died 5 July 1681, and he had third wife Joanna, who died October 1700. He was a Deacon and died very near the same time with his last wife.

EPHRAIM MINOR, or EPHRAIM MINER, Stonington 1666, fifth son of Thomas Minor, was one of the founders of the church in June 1674, married 20 June of that year Hannah Avery, daughter of James Avery, had Ephraim, born 22 June 1668; Thomas, 17 December 1669, died young; Hannah, 20 April 1671; Rebecca, September 1672; Elizabeth, April 1674, died young; Samuel, December 1676, died young; Deborah, 13 April 1677, unless the published family genealogy has a wrong figure, died young; Deborah, again, April 1679; Samuel, again, August 1681; James, November 1682; Grace, September 1683; and John, April 1685; was freeman 1674 and was Representative 1676, but the date of his death is not told.

JOHN MINOR, or JOHN MINER, Stratford 1659, eldest son of Thomas Minor of New London; who the Commissioners of the United Colonies of New England desired in 1654, to have qualified at Eastford to be an instructor of the natives, was town clerk of Stratford, and Representative 1667 and 76, and of the new town of Woodbury very many years; married 19 October 1658, Elizabeth Booth, daughter of Richard Booth, had John, born 9 September 1659; Thomas, 29 May 1662; Hannah, 2 August 1664; Elizabeth, 16 January 1667; Grace, 20 September 1670; Joseph, 4 March 1673; Ephraim, 24 October 1675; Sarah, 19 June 1678; Abigail, 6 February 1681; and Joanna, baptized July 1683; and he died 17 September 1719 but the widow lived to 24 October 1732, probably 92 or 3 years.

JOSEPH MINOR, or JOSEPH MINER, Stonington, brother of Ephriam Minor, freeman 1666, married 23 October 1668, Mary Avery, daughter of James Avery, by whom he had eight children, and one more by second wife Bridget, widow of William Thompson. They were Joseph, born 19 September 1669; Mary, 6 October 1671; Benjamin, 25 June 1676; Deborah and Sarah, perhaps twins baptized 30 March 1679; Christopher; Joanna; Prudence; and Bridget; but I doubt several dates of the family genealogy and I gain neither dates of marriages nor death of second wife nor of his death. Probably he and John were of Woodbury 1690.

MANASSEH MINOR, or MANASSEH MINER, New London, 1671, seventh son of Thomas Minor of the same, said to be the first male white, born in that town, removed to Stonington, married 26 September 1670, Lydia Moore, whose father is not known, had Hannah, born 3 November 1677; and Thomas, 1683, was Deacon, and died 29 April 1728, aged 81.

SAMUEL MINOR, or SAMUEL MINER, youngest son of Thomas Minor, married 1681, Mary Lord, and died next year.

THOMAS MINOR, or THOMAS MINER, Charlestown, 1632, son of William Minor of Chew Magna, in County Somerset, one of the founders of the church in Frothingham, 70, as well as Budington, 184, said to be dismissed for that purpose from Boston church 14 October of that year, but though the record at Charlestown supports them, his name is not in the list of Boston members in the surviving copy of our First Church; freeman 4 March 1634, removed to Saybrook, thence to New London soon after 1645 died, married 23 April 1634, Grace Palmer, eldest daughter of Walter Palmer, had several children but not all, before removing. They were John, baptized 30 August 1635; Thomas, born 1638, died young; Clement, born 27 April 1642; Manasseh, 1647; Ephraim, 1642; Joseph, 1636; Judah, 1644; Samuel, 1652; Ann, 1649; Elizabeth, 1653, died young; Eunice, if the true name be not Hannah; and Mary, 1655. He was a very valuable man, Representative 1650 and 1, perhaps 65, 70, and 3, for Stonington, but I doubt, some of the latter honors belong to his son of the same name, and probably Hinman, who makes him town clerk of Woodbury for 30 years from 1674, makes the same mistake in pages 54, 153, and 222. The father was the oldest gravestone at Stonington shows, died 23 October 1690, aged 83; and his wife died the same year. Hannah, the only daughter that lived to middle age, married 1677, Thomas Avery. A diary kept by him for several years furnished some good information. Sometimes in Connecticut this name is Myner; and in 1834 nine of the family had been graduates at Yale.

GEORGE MINOT, Dorchester, son of Thomas Minot, born 4 August 1594, at Saffron Walden, County Essex, was an early settler, though not of 1630, as Harris gives, freeman 1 April 1634, Representative 1635 and 6, Ruling elder 30 years, died 24 December 1671. By wife Martha, he had John, born 2 April 1626; James, 31 December 1628; Stephen, 2 May 1631; all born in England; and Samuel, 18 December 1635. His wife died 23 December 1657.

GEORGE MINOT, Dorchester, son of James Minot, freeman 1690, was Captain 1688, in command of one of the companies at Pemaquid, 1689.

JAMES MINOT, Dorchester, son of the first George Minot, born in England married 9 December 1653, Hannah Stoughton, daughter of Israel Stoughton, had Israel, born 18 October 1654, died young; George, 14 November 1655, before mentioned; Hannah, 1657, died young; James, 2 April 1659; Wiilliam, 18 September 1662.; Elizabeth, 7 December 1663; and Mehitable, 17 September 1668; was freeman 1665. His wife died 12 March 1670, says Shattuck, in Genealogical Registrar I. 172, but the gravestone says 27; and he married 21 May 1673, Hepzibah Corlet, daughter of famous Elijah Corlet, and died 30 March 1676. His widow married 4 June 1684, Daniel Champney. Elizabeth married 21 November 1682, Reverend John Danforth; and Mehitable married first, Thomas Cooper, and next, 19 December 1706, Peter Sargent, Esquire, and third, 12 May 1715, Simeon Stoddard, Esq., outlived him, and died 23 September 1738.

JAMES MINOT, Dorchester, son of John Minot, taught the grammar school for some years, removed to Concord, preached and studied physics, married about 1684, Rebecca Wheeler, daughter of Timothy Wheeler, had Rebecca, born 9 February 1685; Lydia, 12 March 1687; Mary, 16 November 1689; Timothy, 18 June 1692; James, 17 October 1694; Elizabeth, 29 January 1697; Martha, 3 April 1697; Lucy and Mercy, twins 15 April 1702; and Samuel, 25 March 1706; freeman 1690, when the name is spelled Minerd. His wife died 23 September 1734, and he died 20 September following.

JAMES MINOT, Concord son of the first James Minot, married 9 February 1686 ar 1688, for both dates are given, Rebecca Jones, daughter of John Jones, had only child Jonathan; and, his widow married 9 March 1696, Captain Joseph Bulkeley.

JOHN MINOT, Dorchester, son of the first George Minot, born m England, married 19 May 1647, Lydia Butler, daughter of Nicholas Butler, had John, born 22 January 1648; James, 14 September 1653, before mentioned, Harvard College 1675; Martha, 22 Sept, 1657; Stephen, 10 August 1662; Samuel, 3 July 1665; and a child died infant. He had second wife Mary Dassett, widow of John Biggs, daughter of John Dassett; was freeman 1665; a Captain, died 12 August 1669. In application to him of the anecdote from Hutchinson I. 288, related in Dwight's Travels, the writer of the Genealogy mistakes by forgetting that he had been in his grave six years before the occurrence. The only daughter Martha died 23 November 1678, betrothed to John Morgan, junior to whom in her will she made affecting reference. His widow died 1676, her will of 5 June in that year was probated 27 July following.

JOHN MINOT, Dorchester son of John Minot of the same, married 11 March 1670, Elizabeth Breck, daughter of Edward Breck, had John, born 10 October 1672; Israel, 23 August 1676; Josiah, 27 December 1677; Jerusha, 28 January 1680; and George, 16 August 1682; was a town officer 1650, and freeman the same year; his wife died 6 April 1690, and he died 26 January following.

SAMUEL MINOT, Boston, son of the first George Minot, married 23 June 1670, Hannah Howard, daughter of Robert Howard, had Samuel, born 26 April 1672, died soon; Samuel, again, 31 March 1673, died young; removed Dorchester, there had George, 1675; and Samuel, again, 23 November 1688, died next June.

SAMUEL MINOT, Concord, son of the first John Minot, married Hannah Jones, had only child Jonathan, and Shattuck adds died young.

STEPHEN MINOT, Dorchester, son of the first George Minot, born I think, in England, married 10 November 1654, Truecross Davenport, daughter of Captain Richard Davenport, had Martha, born 22 September 1656, who died unmarried 11 October 1683; Jonathan, 11 Sept1658,d. at 2 months; Elizabeth, who died young; Mehitable, 4, baptized 18 June 1665; and Elizabeth again, potsthumous 10 June 1672. He was freeman 1665, and died 16 February 1672, yet the gravestone carelessly says 1662. Mehitable married Henry Messenger, who died soon and she married Edward Mills of Boston, and died 16 August 1690; and Elizabeth, with Stephen Mills, son of Mehitable, were only heirs of the widow, who died 3 August 1692.

STEPHEN MINOT, Boston, son of the first John Minot, married 1 December 1686, Mary Clark, daughter of Christopher Clark, had Rebecca, born 20 August 1687, died in few days Stephen, 27 October 1688; John, 27 December 1690; Mehitable, 6 December 1692; Lydia, 15 May 1695; Rebecca, again, 6 November 1697; George, 21 January 1700, died young, Peter, 4 March 1702, died in few, months; George, again, 29 January 1704; --Christopher, Harvard College 1725; Peter; and James. He was one of the founders of Brattle Street Church, and died 1732, his will of 30 October being probated 13 November following. The reputation of his great grandson George R. Minot, Harvard College 1778, is fixed in one generation by most amiable character, and for the succeeding by his works on our history. Twelve of the name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard, and two at other New England colleges.

TOBIAS MINTER, New London, son of Ezer Minter, came from Newfoundland 1672, died next year.

TRISTRAM MINTER, New London, about before 1674, when his widow married Joshua Baker.

MIRABLE, Charlestown, had wife Elizabeth, who was one of the friends of Matthews. But perhaps the true name was Marble. Yet, in the will of George Knower, Mary Mirable is called his daughter.

BENJAMIN MIRICK, or BENJAMIN MYRICK, Charlestown, son of John Mirick, by wife Sarah, had Benjamin, and Sarah, baptized 30 January 1687.

JAMES MIRICK, or JAMES MYRICK, Newbury 1656, had Hannah, born 6 February 1657; Abigail, 5 September 1658, Joseph, 27 April 1661; Isaac, 6 January 1665; Timothy, 28 September 1666; and Susanna, 20 August 1670. Coffin says he was born 1612, but it would have better pleased us to learn the time of his death.

JAMES MIRICK, or JAMES MYRICK, Newbury, son of the preceding perhaps, yet not so indicated by Coffin, who says, by wife Hannah, he had Benjamin, born 16 April 1683; James, 6 July 1684; but in the former line he had him 16 April 1683; and John, 10 September 1686.

JOHN MIRICK, or JOHN MYRICK, Charlestown, by wife Judith, unless this be, as I suspect, error for Hopestill, had Hopestill, born 20 February 1643; Benjamin, 22 June. 1644; and, perhaps, others. By second wife Hopestill (unless it be the first, as I suspect, for Hopestill Mirick is administered of the church in Charlestown, 10 September 1644), he had Sarah, 1 May 1657; Mercy, 3 December 1658; and Abigail, born 17 February 1661. His daughter Ann married John Walker, before October 1675, when she joined the church, unless his wife were daughter of Jacob Leager.

JOHN MIRICK, or JOHN MYRICK, Newton, perhaps son the preceding, married 1682, Elizabeth Trowbridge, daughter of James Trowbridge, had Thankful, born 24 April 1685; Rebecca, 20 April 1687; Lydia, 18 February 1689, diedyoung; Samuel, 1 March 1691; John, 30 November 1694; Margaret; James, 26 October 1696; Deborah; Elizabeth, August 1699; Elisha, 5 March 1701; and Lydia, again, 7 July 1704; in the order given by Jackson; but Bond substitutes for Deborah, Sarah, 6 March 1695, adding that she married Jonathan Fuller, with whom Jackson, 280, concurs. He was freeman 1685, killed at Groton, by the Indians 21 July 1706, unless Butler in his History be mistaken, as Jackson, 366, renders probably that very careful collector, page 96, refers to Penhallow: for his extract; but in that writer I do not discover the passage. Yet Homer, in his History of Newton had printed the same passage, 1 Massachusetts History Collection V. 273. It is curious, that both the other sufferers at Groton on that day, were of Newton. I suppose they were part of a garrison at Groton. But this John Mirick died 11 July 1706, and made his will 29 April preceding "under a languishing sickness." Some mistake of the town was made.

TIMOTHY MIRICK, or TIMOTHY MYRICK, Newbury, youngest son of the first James Mirick, married 1696, Mary Lancaster, had Ezra, born 31 March 1697, Abigail, 26 November 1698; and, perhaps, more.

ANDREW MITCHELL, Charlestown, had Mary, baptized 2 December 1688; Abigail, 17 February 1689; Sarah, Elizabeth, 7 January 1694; and Andrew, 28 January 1695. His wife was Abigail.

DAVID MITCHELL, Stratford, brother of Jonathan Mitchell, came probably with his father 1635, in the James from Bristol, arriving at Boston 16 August and accompied his father to Saybrook, thence to Wethersfield for some and Stamford, taught the husband at Watertown, perhaps December 1649, at least was invited for that object, and soon after removed to Stratford, where certainly he was in 1665, when he had two sons, but who was the mother or when the father died are all unknown. Cothren, 634, names four sons Matthew, John, Jonathan, and Abraham, and though the death of the father, name of the mother, or births of either of the four is sought in vain, he permits us to infer that the two mentioned in 1665 may have been Abraham and Matthew, but that John was older than Abraham. In November 1675 he was entrusted by the Council of war with important affairs.

EDWARD MITCHELL, Hingham, came in the Diligent, 1638, but we know no more of him, except that he was from Old Hingham.

EDWARD MITCHELL, Bridgewater, son of Experience Mitchell, married Mary Hayward, daughter of Thomas Hayward, and in 40 years by her had no children; married next, 1708, Alice Bradford, daughter of Major John Bradford, had Mary, born 1709; Alice, 1714; and Edward, 7 February 1716, who died 23 December 1801, the grandfather of Nahum Mitchell, Harvard College 1789. He died 1717, and his widow married Deacon Joshuah Hersey of Hingham.

EXPERIENCE MITCHELL, Plymouth, a youth, came in the Ann, 1623, had been one of the goodly Company at Leyden, where he left a brother Thomas Mitchell, who died there. Perhaps he was under the care of Francis Cook, at least, he is of his Company in partaking share of cattle 1627, and soon after marrying his daughter Jane, was of Duxbury after 1631, and long after removed to Bridgewater, there died 1689, aged above 80 years. His children were Elizabeth, who married 1645, John Washburn; Thomas; Mary, married 24 December 1652, James Shaw, and died 1679; Edward; Sarah; Jacob; John; and Hannah, but the order of births is uncertain, and so may be the mother for he had second wife Mary. Sarah married John Hayward; and Hannah married Joseph Hayward, as his third wife.

GEORGE MITCHELL, Boston 1644, carpenter, by wife Mary, had Elizabeth, born 26 August 1645; Mary, 25 August 1648; John, 3 June 1650; and Sarah, 8 December 1652.

JACOB MITCHELL, Dartmouth, son of Experience Mitchell, married 7 November 1666, Susanna Pope, daughter of Thomas Pope, had Jocab, Thomas, and Mary, all brought up by their uncle Edward Mitchell, after himself and wife were killed 1675, in Philip's war, by the Indians.

JOHN MITCHELL, Kittery, seems by his inventory 28 May 1664, to have large property £784; but I know no more, except that his administrator was Elias Stileman.

JOHN MITCHELL, Hartford 1660, freeman 1667, died 28 July 1683, leaving children Mary, aged 28; John, 25; Sarah, 21; Margaret, 19; Mable, 17; amd Miriam, 15.

JOHN MITCHELL, Duxbury, youngest son of Experience Mitchell, married 14 December 1675, Mary Bonney, daughter of Thomas Bonney, had Experience, born 1676; and his wife died the year following. Next, 14 January 1679, he married Mary Lothrop, who died 13 February 1680; and he married 24 may 1682, Mary Peior, had Mary, 28 February 1683; Hannah, 13 February 1684; Joseph, 23 March 1684; Elizabeth, 25 March 1685, died soon; Elizabeth again, 29 May 1686; John, 13 January 1689; Sarah, 9 May 1690; and Esther, 22 January 1692. Gladly would I learn who this third wife was, and especially the more probable dates of one or two of the children.

JOHN MITCHELL, Woodbury, son of David Mitchell, by wife Elizabeth, who died 1730, had David, baptized November 1679, died soon; David, again, April 1681; Elizabeth, November 1683, died young; Elnathan, October 1686; John, February 1689; Knell, April 1691; Elizabeth again, May 1693; and Martha, March 1697; as Cothern gives them, and says he died 3 January 1732.

JOHN MITCHELL, Newbury, son of William Mitchell of the same, married 20 May 1680, Hannah Spofford, had Hannah, born 12 April 1681; Sarah, 26 September 1682; John, 17 June 1685; and Sarah, again, 10 April 1689. His wife died in two weeks after; and he married 15 November 1697, Constance Moores, and died 17 December 1731.

JONATHAN MITCHELL, Cambridge, came with his father Matthew Mitchell, in the James, from Bristol, 1635, being then about 9 or 10 years old, was bred at Harvard College where 1647, he had his A.B., ordained 21 August 1650, married 19 November following Margaret, widow of Thomas Shepard, his predecessor, but was before betrothed to Sarah Cotton, daughter of Reverend John Cotton, who died in January preceding. Had Margaret, born 26 February 1653, died next year; Nathaniel, 4 March 1656, died at 17 years; John, 16 March 1658, died next year; Samuel, 14, baptized 21 October 1660, Harvard College 1681, whose death is not found in the catalogue, and he is the latest of the children in the church register of his father. Yet he certainly had Jonathan, 1687, who died 14 March 1695; an Margaret, again, who married 13 June 1682, Stephen Sewall of Salem, and only through her, is the blood of the distinguished ancestor come down. He died 9 July 1668, in the "forty-third year of his age," says the Magnalia, IV.184, yet as Mather could not avoid an occassion of blunder, even for so famous a man, whom he calls matchless, he had on page 166 of the same book, told us he was born 1624, Halifax, in the West riding of Yorkshire. In 1662, he, with Gookin, were made first licensers of the press in Massachusetts. He had good estate the inventory being £786,17,9. Every writer who has mentioned the famous men of the early days of our country, has told of Mitchell, and the oversight of calling his father Jonathan, instead of Matthew Mitchell, by Sprague, in Annals of the American Pulpit, would seem too trivial to be noticed here, did not the minute statement of his marriage require correction: "Margaret Shepard, daughter of his predecessor, by his first marriage" seems to bear on its face, the stamp of exact truth. But as accuracy related is always desirable it may be told, the only daughter of Shepard by his first wife died infant and this Margaret who married Mitchell was the third wife of Shepard, not his child.

MATTHEW MITCHELL, Charlestown, came 1635, with Reverend Richard Mather, in the James, of Bristol, bring. wife and children David, and Jonathan, perhaps more, removed to Concord, and soon to Springfield, there signed compact with Pynchon and others in May 1636, soon after to Saybrook for short time, where, in the Pequot war, he was protected by Lyon Gardiner, but he says the Indians took one of the "old man and roasted him alive." He was in 1639 at Wethersfield a short time, and next year made their town clerk, but soon went to Stamford, and in 1643, with Reverend Richard Denton, to Hempstead, Long Island, perhaps back again, soon to Stamford, there died in 1645. He was Representative in 1637, but not, as Mather makes him, one of the Assistants of the Colony that year.

JEREMY MOORE, or JEREMY MORE, Hingham, came in 1638, by the Diligent, was from Wymondham, a large town in County Norfolk, adjoining old Hingham, removed to Boston 1643, was freeman 1645, died before 1669, leaving Jeremiah, Samuel, and Mary, who married John Cotton.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Dorchester 1630, came in the Mary and John, probably for he was freeman May 1631, a Deacon, went with Warham 1635 or 6, to Windsor, was there a chief man, Representative, not as History of Windsor 705, tells, in 1643, but 1665, 7, and often after, died 18 September 1677. He had Abigail, born 1639; Mindwell, 10 July 1643; and John, 5 December 1645; but he had also, probably elder daughters Hannah, who married 30 November 1648, John Drake; and Elizabeth, who married 24 November 1654, Nathaniel Loomis. Abigail, married 11 October 1665, Thomas Bissel; and Mindwell, married 25 September 1662, Nathaniel Bissell.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Roxbury, freeman 3 July 1632, but perhaps he first lived in some other town, for his name is not found early at Roxbury, nor does Mr. Ellis in his History give it; but the church record has "old John Moore of 99 years died 27 October 1679."

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Cambridge, perhaps the freeman of 8 December 1636.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Salem, had there baptized Jerusha, 5 December 1636; Abigail, 10 June 1638; Benjamin, 18 July 1641; and Ephraim, 10 December 1643. Perhaps his wife was Hannah, and he may have been freeman but not, as Felt puts him, in 1633.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Newport, received as an inhabitant 16 November 1638, may have been of Warwick 1655, had daughter Mary, who married Job Almy.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Braintree, whose wife Bridget died 1643, was lived there 1658, and in 1660 was one of the purchasers of Medway.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Sudbury, 1643, perhaps he who came in the Planter, 1635, aged 24, from London, may have been of Artillery Company 1638, by wife Elizabeth, had Mary; Lydia, born 24 June 1643; Jacob, 28 April 1645; perhaps Joseph; and Elizabeth; married second wife November 1654, Ann Smith, daughter of John Smith.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Boston, shipwright, died in Virginia, and administration was given 15 January 1683, to his widow Mary.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Windsor, only son of John Moore of the same, married 21 September 1664, Hannah Goffe, daughter of Edward Goffe of Cambridge, had John, born 26 June 1665; Thomas, 25 July 1667; Samuel, 24 December 1669; Nathaniel, 20 September 1672; Edward, 2 March 1675; and Josiah and Joseph, twins 5 July 1679. His wife Hannah died 4 April 1657; and he married 17 December 1701, Martha Flamsworth, unless Mr. Stiles misspelled the name, had Martha, 24 September 1705; and died 21 June, 1718.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Lancaster, perhaps of Boston, and freeman 1669, was Representative 1689 and 90, called senior.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Boston, by wife Lydia, had Sarah, born 19 July 1673; Hannah, 1675, died soon; Hannah, again, 25 July 1676; John, February 1678; Thomas, 26 November 1679; Catharine, 5 February 1681; Rachel, February 1682; Francis, November 1684; Catharine, again March 1686, and Francis, again, 8 April 1687. He was, perhaps, the freeman of 1671, and died 1693. He was a brewer, had good estate of which administration was given to his wife Lydia, 13 July.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Lynn, married 21 July 1673, Susanna Marshall, perhaps daughter of Thomas Marshall, had Thomas, born 20 April 1674; John, 10 February 1679; Richard, 22 August 1680; and Susanna, 4 March 1685.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Lancaster, junior, Representative 1689, perhaps son of him who was Representative after.

JOHN MOORE, or JOHN MORE, Lynn, freeman 1691. One other John Moore, who came in the Susan and Ellen 1635, from London, aged 41, I am unable to dispose of.

JONATHAN MOORE, or JONATHAN MORE, Boston, youngest son of Mrs. Ann, widow of William Hibbins, the Assistant was, I infer, only temporay resident here, for the will of his mother 16 June 1656, shortly before her execution for the preposterous crime of witchcraft which is to be seen in Genealogical Registrar VI.287,8, speaks of him and his brothers John Moore, and Joseph Moore, as if all were in England, and in the codicil of 19th of the same, acknowledged "the more than ordinary affection and pains 'of this one,' in the time of my distress," as he had arrived to attend the results of the exercrable fanaticism. She was probably the richest person ever hanged in this part and the prejudice against witches long slumbered.

JOSEPH MOORE, or JOSEPH MORE, Sudbury, married Lydia Maynard, daughter of John Maynard.

RICHARD MOORE, or RICHARD MORE, Plymouth, brought by Elder Brewster, with a brother, both as servants in the Mayflower, 1620, and the brother died in few weeks; at the division of cattle 1627, when the name of every man, woman, and child is given, he was still assorted with Elder Brewster; but by Governor Bradford's History 451, we are taught that he married, and in 1651 had four or five children. Lived as if he had lost one or more. It is vain to regret, that the Governor did not mention the names of the children, or the mother. Perhaps he removed to one of the newer settlements, for Winsor's Duxbury tells that he sold his land 1637, and I am convinced after long search that he is the Richard Moore by Deane, in History of Scituate, called Mann, as the other four passengers with this baptized name of Richard, were all then adult. See Mann.

RICHARD MOORE, or RICHARD MORE, Cape Porpoise. now Kennebunk, had grant of 400 acres in 1647, and less than 20 years after was of Scarborough, had wife Bridget, became pauper 1679, and died 1681. See Southgate,77.

RICHARD MOORE, or RICHARD MORE, Salem 1642, to whom says Felt, was made grant of land 1638, freeman 28 February 1643, though this man may have come in the Blessing, from London 1635, aged 20. He, or perhaps a son of the same name, in a town office there, was living 1682; and in 1668 his name, with that of Richard junior is signed to the petition against imposts. He was a Captain and his wife died 5 October 1686.

SAMUEL MOORE, or SAMUEL MORE, Boston probably son of Jeremy Moore, married 1 May 1660, Abigail Hawkins, daughter of Captain Thomas Hawkins, had Mary, born 2 May 1661; he died in short time, and his widow married Thomas Kellond, and 3rd husband Honorable John Foster.

THOMAS MOORE, or THOMAS MORE, Dorchester, came in the Mary and John 1630, and probably was brother of John Moore of the same, freeman 18 May 1631, removed 1635 or 6 to Windsor, perhaps removed to Southold, Long Island, where was one of this name 1662.

THOMAS MOORE, or THOMAS MORE, Portsmouth, one of the first settlers sent by John Mason, the patentee, 1631.

THOMAS MOORE, or THOMAS MORE, Salem 1636, probably son of Thomas Moore, to whose widow Ann, a midwife, was next year grant of land made, by wife Martha, had Thomas, and Martha, both baptized 21 October 1639, soon after the parents were recorded of the church; Benjamin, 2 August 1640; Nathaniel, 3 July 1642; Hannah, 9 December 1644; Elizabeth, 31 January 1647; Jonathan, 3 June 1649; and Mary, 15 December 1650; was freeman 27 December 1642, and in few years removed.

THOMAS MOORE, or THOMAS MORE, Boston, mariner, married at Cambridge, 9 November 1653, Sarah Hodges, had Sarah, born 26 April 1655, died next year; Sarah, again, 5 May 1660; Hannah, 26 April 1662; Rachel, 25 May 1664; Elizabeth, 27 April 1667; and Thomas, 2 September 1669, died 1690.

THOMAS MOORE, or THOMAS MORE, Roxbury, freeman 1690, says the Colony record, but I have some doubt.

His wife died 3 April 1700, and he married 17 July following Mary, widow of Joshua Allen of Windham, who died 18 September 1727; and he married 10 June 1728, Tamison Simmons, and died April 1729.

WILLIAM MOORE, or WILLIAM MORE, Amesbury 1670, a military officer, who married as I presume, 7 October 1673, Mary Veazie, perhaps daughter of George Veazie of Dover. Seven of this name had, in 1829, been graduates at Harvard, six at Yale, six at Dartmouth, and twelve at other New England colleges.

EDMUND MOORES, Newbury, county says, came 1640, aged 26, by wife Ann, who died 7 June 1676, had Martha, born 12 December 1643; Jonathan, 23 April 1646; Mary, 30 November 1648, Edmund, who died 8 November 1656; Richard, 3 November 1653; and Sarah, 1 April 1661.

HENRY MORE. See Moore, Dorchester 1675, had supplied a substitute in the Company of Captain Johnson, December of that year as may be read in the list, printed in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 242, though his name is copied Mare. Many of the family have the name, as it were, interchangeable; the same person on one page of the record spelling each way.

JONATHAN MOREHOUSE, or JONATHAN MOOREHOUSE, Fairfield, married Mary Wilson, daughter of Edward Wilson of the same, before 1684.

SAMUEL MOREHOUSE, or SAMUEL MOOREHOUSE, Fairfield, perhaps son of Thomas Morehouse, freeman 1664, lived 1670.

WILLIAM MORELL came in September 1623, with Robert Gorges, sat down at Weymouth, but soon went to Plymouth, after Gorges left him, and home within a year. His verses, Latin and translated into english show he was a fair scholar; and his prudence was problematic by not producing, the ecclesiastical commission he had to rule on this side of the water.

BENJAMIN MOREY, Wickford 1674, was some relative probably of Isaac Heath of Roxbury, who names Mary and Benjamin his will of January 1661.

GEORGE MOREY, Duxbury 1640, died next year, may be the passenger 1635, from London, aged 23, by the Truelove. By the Colony Court January 1641, this strange order was passed that Thomas Roberts of Duxbury shall lodge no more with George Morey, a diseased person.

GEORGE MOREY, Bristol, married 21 December 1683, Hannah Lewis, had John, born 3 October 1684; Mary, 24 March 1688; Sarah, 4 March 1691; Hannah, 18 May 1694; George, 31 August 1696; all baptized 13 June 1697; Martha, 12 March baptized 23 April 1699; Abigail, 27 February baptized 21 June 1702; Benjamin, 18 April baptized 17 June 1705; and Thomas, 1 January baptized 20 March 1709.

THOMAS MOREY, Roxbury, married 6 September 1673, Susanna Newell, daughter of the second Abraham Newell, had Thomas, born May 1678, died very soon; Abigail, baptized 4 April 1680, perhaps died soon, Abigail, born 30 March 1681; Mary, baptized 20 August 1682; Susanna, 27 April baptized 17 May 1685; John, 13, baptized 27 July 1687; Elizabeth, 14 December 1689; and Nathaniel, 28 May 1694. He was freeman 1685, and died 25 December 1717; but I do not find the date of deaty. Wife Abigail married April 1697, Timothy Harris.

BENNETT MORGAN, Plymouth, came in the Fortune, 1621, but he had not share in the of cattle 1627, and so we may be sure he was gone, but whither is unknown.

DAVID MORGAN, Springfield, son of Miles Morgan, freeman 1690, died 1731, leaving Pelatiah, David, John, Ebenezer, Benjamin, and Mary.

FRANCIS MORGAN, Kittery 1664, was next year appointed administrator on the great estate of Captain John Mitchell.

JAMES MORGAN, Boston, had David, born 10 November 1676; and Jonathan, 19 November 1680, may have served in Moseley's company December 1651, perhaps, was not that

JAMES MORGAN, of Boston, whose story is in the Magnalia, book VI. 40-43, executed for murder, 11 March 1686.

JOHN MORGAN, New London, son of the first James Morgan, married 16 November 1660, Rachel Deming, daughter of John Deming, had, says Miss Caulkins, seven children by her, and six more by second wife Elizabeth, made freeman 1669, was a Lieutenant, and died 1712.

MOSES MORGAN, a soldier under Captain Turner 1676, at Hadley was probably from East part of the Colony.

NATHANIEL MORGAN, Springfield, probably youngest son of Miles Morgan, had Nathaniel, Samuel, Ebenezer, Miles, Joseph, James, Isaac, Hannah, and Elizabeth.

OWEN MORGAN, New Haven, married 9 April 1650, widow Joan Bryan. Hall finds his name in 1656 at Norwalk; and a widow was proprietor 1655, as by his valuable History, but no clue is known to the name of her husband or the time of his death.

ROBERT MORGAN, Saco 1636, may be he of Kennebeck 1665, named in Sullivan, 287.

ROBERT MORGAN, Salem 1637, administered of the church 1650, and on 23 June of that year had baptized Samuel, Luke, Joseph, and Benjamin, and on 15 December following Robert; Bethia, 29 1653; and Aaron, 24 May 1663; was one of the founders of the church at Beverly 1667. His will, of 14 October 1672, probated 24 June following, names wife Margaret, son Samuel, was wife's father Norman but who he was is not clear, sons Benjamin, Robert, Bethia, sons Joseph, and Moses. His inventory was of 10 November 1672.

SAMUEL MORGAN, Marblehead 1674. He married 15 December 1658, Elizabeth Dixy, daughter of Lieutenant William Dixy.

WILLIAM MORGAN, Amesbury 1677, perhaps twelve years later lived in New Hampshire,

JOHN MORLEY, Braintree, freeman 1645, removed 1658 to Charlestown, he and his wife being recorded into this church 29 August of that year, there died 24 January 1661; and his widow Constant, who was first of the church at Dorchester, died 1669. Yet Frothingham, 80, names her as widow, inhabitant of 1631, though perhaps he means Catharine, who may have been his mother. In the will of Morley, made a week before his death, referred to as then deceased. He also names in it sister Ann Farmer. He gave to his widow Constant, all his estate in New England and his lands and tenements at Cheshunt, in County Herts, Old England. In her

will is more instructions for the genealogy, as she remembered her brother Joye (perhaps meaning Joseph) Starr, her sister Ann Farmer, her sister Suretrust Rous, her cousin i. e. nephew John Starr, senior, her cousin Mercy Swett, her cousin Simon Eyre, and gives to cousin Elizabeth, wife of John Ferniside, and Elizabeth, wife of Joshua Edmunds, but the great residue of her estate to William and Elizabeth, children of said Elizabeth Edmunds. No doubt, she was sister of the first Comfort Starr.

PETER MORRALL, Salem, married 27 September 1675, Mary Butler, both were from Isle of Jersey.

ABRAHAM MORRIL, Cambridge 1632, perhaps came in the Lion, with brother Isaac Morril, Artillery Company 1638, removed with original proprietors to Salisbury, where, in 1650, only four men were taxed higher, died at Roxbury, on a visit, June 1662. He had married 10 June 1645, Sarah Clement, daughter of Robert Clement of Haverhill, had Isaac, 10 July 1646; Jacob, 1648; Sarah, 14 October 1650; Abraham, 14 November 1652; Moses, 28 December 1655; Aaron, 9 August 1658; Richard, 6 February 1660 died soon; Lydia, married March 1661; and Hepzibah, posthumous January 1663. His will, made the year of his death, probated 4 October, names wife Sarah, children Isaac, the eldest, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Lydia, and Sarah, besides brother Job Clement. His estate was 1507. Lydia married 9 November 1682 Ephraim Severence.

ABRAHAM MORRIL, Salisbury 1677, son of the preceding, married 1688, Sarah Bradbury, had Bradbury, born 22 March 1693, died young; and Sarah, 18 December 1696.

EZEKIAL MORRIL, Reading, perhaps brother of the first Abraham Morril, or son of him, or his brother Isaac Morril, had wife Mary, and died on a visit at Roxbury, 22 May 1663. His will, of 31 May preceding, mentioned father-in-law, and mother without name of either. His widow probably married 12 August following Thomas Hodgman of Reading, probably more no children to either husband.

ISAAC MORRIL, Roxbury, brother of Abraham Morril, said to have been born 1588, came in the Lion, arriving 16 September 1632, bringing wife and probably Sarah and Catharine; freeman 4 March 1633, Artillery Company 1638, by wife Sarah, had here, Isaac, born 26 or 7 November 1632, died in January following; Isaac, again, 5 February died young; Hannah, 12 or 16 September 1636; Elizabeth, May 1638, died same month; Abraham, 6 June 1640, who died at 21 years a "hopeful young man," says Eliot in his church register, and the father died 20 December 1661. Sarah married 1646, Tobias Davis, and died 23 January 1649; Catherine married 1 August 1647, John Smith; and Hannah married 5 November 1652, Daniel Brewer. His will printed in Genealogical Registrar XI. 35, made a few days before his death gave estate to wife for her life, names children John, Isaac, Francis, Mary, and Abraham Smith, and Sarah Davis. His widow died 9 January 1673, aged 72. Charlestown, freeman 1682, of which it is very vexatious to be unable to tell more than that he was probably brother of the first Abraham Morril.

ISAAC MORRIL, Salisbury, son of Abraham Morril the first, perhaps had two wives, by Phebe, had Abraham, born 22 August 1671 and Isaac, by Susanna, had Mary, 1 February 1674; Sarah, 29 May 1675; Jacob, 25 May 1677; Rachel, 18 February 1682, died soon; Daniel, 8 February 1683; Jemima, 9 October 1685; Mary, again, 10 September 1689; and Rachel, 24 August 1692.

Moses, James, Bury, brother of Jacob Morril, freeman 1690, married Rebecca Barnes, daughter of William Barnes of the same, had William Barnes Morril, so named (before the custom of double names so common and uncomfortable was introduced) to preserve memories. Of his grandfather

THOMAS MORRIL, Gravesend 1650, Newtown, Long Island, 1655. Thompson. Six of this name had, in 1834, graduates at Harvard, and four at other New England colleges. Early this is called Morrell, in town records Murrells.

DORMAN MORRIS, Boston, by wife Elinor, had Daniel born 13 February 1672; and Honor, 1 April 1674.

EDMUND MORRIS, came in the Confidence, 1638, from Southampton. He was a carpenter, of Dorsetshire, perhaps the parish of Kington Magna, near Shaftesbury, but I hear nothing later of him.

EDWARD MORRIS, Roxbury, married 29 November 1655, Grace Burr, but; in Boston record as copied in Genealogical Registrar XI. 201, the name is given Bett, which seems less likely to be correct surname, had Isaac, born 16 September 1656, baptized 19 September 1658; Edward, baptized 13 March 1659; Grace, 17 February 1661; Ebenezer, born 14, baptized 17 April 1664, Elizabeth, baptized 26 March 1666; Margaret, 27 September 1668; Samuel, 9 April 1671; and Martha, 3 January 1675; was Representative 1678 and to 1686. His widow Grace died 6 June 1705, says the record but his own death is not mentioned there. He had removed to New Roxbury, since called Woodstock, and was dead 27 January 1692, when administration on his estate was granted. Grace, his daughter married 7 March 1683, Benjamin Child; and Elizabeth married 9 May 1685, Joshua Child; and Margaret married 4 April 1689, John Johnson.

EDWARD MORRIS, Roxbury, son of preceding, married 24 May 1683, Elizabeth Brown, had Elizabeth, born 12 February 1685, died soon; Elizabeth again, 3 February 1686; Edward, 9 November 1688.

ELEAZER MORRIS, New Haven, son of Thomas Morris, by wife Ann Osborne, had Rebecca, born 20 June 1682; John, 8 October 1684; James; Eleazer; Adonijah; and Ann. His widow died 10 December 1726.

ISAAC MORRIS, Roxbury, eldest son of Edward Morris the first, was a soldier in Johnson's Company in the great Narraganset fight, married 2 March 1680, Hannah Mayo, daughter of John Mayo, had probably no children, perhaps removed to Woodstock, as he was administrator on estate of his brother, came back to Roxbury where his wife died 5 November 1701; and he married 3 November 1702, Mary, widow of Ebenezer Pierpont, and died 21 October 1715.

JOHN MORRIS, Hartford 1640, died before March 1669, in his will names children John, Joshua and Mary. His widow Martha married Roger Jepson of Saybrook; and daughter Mary married 25 November 1680, John Tillosston of Saybrook.

JOHN MORRIS, New Haven, son of Thomas Morris, not perhaps born in England, had wife Ann, who died 4 April 1664; married 29 March 1666, widow Elizabeth Lamson, had John, born 16 December following, who died soon, and she died before long. He married 12 August 1669, Hannah Bishop, and by this third wife had Mary, 19 June 1670, died soon; Hannah, 10 August 1671, Mary, again, 9 September 1673; Elizabeth, 1675; Thomas, 26 April 1679, died young; Abigail, 22 August 1683; and Desire, 25 March 1687.

RICE MORRIS, Charlestown, by wife Esther, had Hannah, baptized 29 November 1634; and Esther, born 6, baptized 14 March 1641, perhaps more, and died 5 April 1647. But the name appears Morus in Genealogical Registrar IX. 170.

RICHARD MORRIS, Boston 1630, came probably in the fleet with Winthrop as he and wife Lenora were very early of the church, Nos. 64 and 5, and he was made freeman 18 May 1631 with the title of Sergeant, and so perhaps a hired officer, became Lieutenant at Roxbury soon after, and was Representative 1635, Artillery Company 1637, but favoring the cause of Reverend John Wheelwright, was disarmed and with that heresiarch went to Exeter, 1638. The name is first on our church record written Maurice, and when, 6 January 1639, dismissed, was granted to Wheelwright and eight others, including him, "unto the church of Christ. At the falls of Paschiataqua, if they be rightly gathered and ordered," the spelling is Morrys. It is wrong in Drake's diligent History 224, as it was first in Belknap, which Farmer did not correct.

RICHARD MORRIS, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1643, then among the freeman 1655, seems to be the same as preceding.

ROBERT MORRIS, Hartford, brother of John Morris, was divorced from wife, had no children, and died 19 November 1684. given estate to relatives.

His widow Elizabeth died 1681, and he died 21 July 1673. His will, of 11 July preceding gives estate to the daughters and John, Eleazer, and Joseph, who were proprietors 1685. Hannah married 1662, Thomas Lupton.

THOMAS MORRIS, Boston, of who no more is known than that he died quite early, for his will was on page 18 now missing of our first volume of probate records, if we may trust the index.

WILLIAM MORRIS, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 1655, was perhaps, brother of Richard Morris, may have lived at Westerly.

WILLIAM MORRIS, Charlestown, 1658, perhaps of Boston, there by wife Dorcas, had William, born 18 December 1665, removed probably to Wethersfield, and was freeman of Connecticut 1669, and died 1697.

ANDREW MORRISON, New Haven 1690. He married 21 October 1687, Sarah Jones, daughter of William Jones, had Sarah, born 7 July 1689; Margaret, 16 August 1691, died in few weeks; Ann, 4 November 1693; Theophilus, 6 January 1696; Margaret, again, 12 August 1699; and Andrew. He died early in 1703.

ABRAHAM MORSE, Newbury, son of Robert Morse, born perhaps in England, by his wife Elizabeth before he left Marlborough, in Wilts, if his father may be presumed brother of Anthony Morse, removed it is said, to New Jersey.

ANTHONY MORSE, Newbury, a shoemaker of Marlborough, Wiltshire, arriving at Boston, 3 June 1635, in the James from Southampton, said to have been born 9 May 1606, freeman 25 May 1636, by wife Mary, had Anthony; Benjamin, born 4 March 1640; Sarah, 1 May 1641; Hannah, 1642; Lydia, May 1645, died soon; Lydia, again, 7 October 1647, died in few months; Mary, 9 April 1649, died at 13 years; Esther, 3 May 1651; Joshua, 4 July 1653; and the family Genealogy adds Mary, probably but I doubt; Coffin gives him also, Joseph, John, and Peter; yet he has confused the marriages and deaths of father and son, and has probably done the same with children. He was freeman 2 May 1636, had a second wife Ann, who died 9 March 1680, and he died 12 October 1686. Sarah married 24 June 1663, Amos Stickney; and Esther married 2 February 1669, Robert Holmes.

ANTHONY MORSE, Newbury, son of the preceding, married 8 May 1660, Elizabeth Knight, had Ruth, born 20 May 1661, died in few weeks; Anthony, 1 January 1663; Joseph, 29 July 1665; Elizabeth, 29 July 1667, when her mother died and she died at 10 years.

DANIEL MORSE, Watertown, son of Samuel Morse, born in England 1613, as is said, was freeman 6 May 1635, removed to Dedham, there wife Lydia Fisher, had Obadiah, born 8 August 1653; Daniel, 31 January baptized 7 February 1641; Jonathan, 8, baptized 12 March 1643; Lydia, baptized 3 April 1645; Bethia, 24 March baptized 2 April 1648; Mary, baptized 29 September 1650; at Medfield had Bathshua, born 20 July 1653; Nathaniel, 20 January 1657; and Samuel, 12 May, 1661. His original parchment deed, conveyed with assent of wife Lydia, to John Hull. Part of his estate in Medfield 7 June 1666, was in my possession and given to my friend Nathaniel I. Bowditch, Esq. and his last residence was in Sherborn, where he died 1688, and widow died 29 January 1691, aged 70 at Sherborn.

DANIEL MORSE, Sherborn, son of the preceding, married at Medfield, Elizabeth Barber, perhaps daughter of George Barber, had Elizabeth, born August 1670; Daniel, 10 July 1672; Esther, 21 May 1674; Elizabeth again, 29 October 1677; John, 27 August 1679; Noah 20 April 1681; Margaret, 30 September 1683; Hannah, 15 December 1685; Mary, 23 January 1688, died young, Sarah, 5 June 1689; and David, 10 December 1692, about soon. He died 29 September 1702, and his widow died 1714.

EDMUND MORSE Newbury, in the Genealogy is called tenth child of William Morse, and it is said, had Edmund, baptized at Newbury 24 February 1678; but Coffin is silent as to both father and son.

EPHRAIM MORSE, Newtown, Long Island, son of the first John Morse, probably was of Boston 1677.

EZRA MORSE, Dedham, son of John Morse of the same, a great mill holder, married Joanna Hoar, had, besides other children John Morse, born 31 March 1674, Harvard College 1692, minister of Newtown, Long Island, who died 1700.

FRANCIS MORSE, Boston, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 23 July 1667; and by wife Ann, had Mary and Hannah, twins born 26 September 1669; John, 6 June 1672; and Huldah, 7 March 1674.

JEREMIAH MORSE, Boston, son of Samuel Morse, it is said, born in England, had Samuel, baptized 29 August 1647; and Jeremiah, 17 December 1648; perhaps removed to the East.

JEREMIAH MORSE, Newton, son of Joseph Morse the second, had lived with his father at Groton, removed thence, after death of father, with his mother to Watertown, married 13 January 1682, Abigail Woodward, daughter of John Woodward, died next year having had John, born 28 March 1683, died in few weeks, and he married again wife Sarah, but probably had only James, baptized 24 April 1689; and died 27 September 1719.

JEREMIAH MORSE, Medfield, son of Joseph Morse of Dedham, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 22 June 1678, died soon, Jeremiah, 31 October 1679; Elizabeth again, 24 February 1681, died young perhaps; Mary, 5 March 1685; Timothy, 27 December 1687; Benjamin, 31 August 1692; Samuel, 4 September 1694; Abigail, 18 October 1696, died young perhaps; Jedediah, 1700; and John, 1704, and died 19 February 1716, and his widow Elizabeth died 25 April 1733, aged 74.

JOHN MORSE, Dedham, tailor, eldest son of Samuel Morse, born in England, it is said, may have come before his father, freeman 13 May 1640, by wife Annis, had Ruth, born 3 June 1637; John, 8 June 1639; Samuel and Rachel, twins baptized 15 (not as Genealogical says 5) March 1640, both died young; Joseph, born 3 February baptized 6 July 1641; Ezra, baptized 4, but recorded born 5 February 1644; Abigail, 2, baptized 8 March 1647; Ephraim, 19, baptized 30 July 1648; Bethia, 28 March baptized 6 April 1651; and Nathaniel, 2 May 1653; removed to Boston next year, and died 26 May 1657. His will, of 18 December 1655, made in contemplation of a voyage to England, probated 18 June 1657, by the Notary who witnessed it, named wife Annis, and the eight children.

JOHN MORSE, Charlestown 1637, removed to Dedham the same year, next to Boston.

JOHN MORSE, Boston, tailor, married 24 December 1652, Mary Jupe, niece of Robert Keayne, had Mary, born 20 April 1654; was probably the freeman of 1654, and went home, November 1654, and did not return.

JOHN MORSE, Dedham, son of Samuel Morse, went home and came back in the Speedwell, July 1656, aged 40; and was the person whose death is mentioned 26 May 1657. It has caused some confusion and much uncertainty that the John Morse of Dedham and he of Boston, both tailors, should both have gone home so nearly in the same year, both died near the same time, but one [which?] returned to die on our side of the water; yet it may be overcome by aid of the wills. In that ship, at that time, came the first Quakers to our country.

JOHN MORSE, Ipswich, son of Joseph Morse first of the same, by wife Dinah, had Elizabeth, born 29 March 1657, died at 2 years; and Mary, 15 January 1661, who married perhaps, John Shattuck; and died 1697, leaving widow Dinah. He was town clerk of Groton.

JOHN MORSE, Watertown, second son of second Joseph Morse, went early to Lancaster, there married Ann Smith, daughter of John Smith, had Lydia, born 6 April 1660; and John, 7 April 1660 who died soon, as did also his wife. He returned to Watertown, and married 27 April 1666, Abigail Stearns, youngest daughter of first Isaac Stearns, had John born 10 May 1667, died soon; James, 25, November 1668; John, again, 15 March 1670; Joseph, 25 August 1671; Abigail, 23 December 1673, died few weeks; Abigail, again, 6 August 1677, of which Dr. Bond says she married John Parkhurst, lived about 70 years, and had sons and daughters; Isaac, 5 January 1679, died at 15 years; Samuel, 21 June 1682, died probably before 20 years; and Nathaniel, baptized 29 January 1688; was Deacon 1697. His wife died 16 October 1690, and a third wife was Sarah. He died 23 or 28 July 1702.

JOHN MORSE, Boston, son of the first John Morse, by wife Elizabeth Bosworth, daughter of Zaccheus Bosworth, had Elizabeth, born 22 January 1661; Ruth, 18 December 1662, died at 18 months; Hannah, February 1665; Abigail, 30 March 1667; Ruth, again, 13. January 1669; Bethia, 13 or 15 January 1671; John, 28 August 1673; Samuel, 13 November 1676, probably died soon; and Sarah, 24 November 1677. He was freeman 1669, served as a commissary in Philip's war, and died says the Genealogical 25 October 1678, but in the Appendix makes erronous that event on the same day of next year leaving widow Elizabeth, who applied to government for compensation on account of his service.

JONATHAN MORSE, Sherborn, son of Daniel Morse the first, married 8 September 1666, Mary Barber, perhaps daughter of George Barber, who died 1700, had Jonathan, born 11 July, 1667; Mary, August 1670; Nathan, 3 January 1673; Samuel, 10 August 1676; Lydia, 9 May 1682; Elizabeth, 10 December 1684; and Ebenezer, 26 September 1689; lived at Medfield, was freeman 1677 or 72, and died 30 August 1727.

JONATHAN MORSE, Watertown, son of the second Joseph Morse, married 17 October 1678, Abigail Shattuck, youngest daughter of William Shattuck the first, had Abigail, born or 15 December 1679; Hannah, 3 September or December 1682, Ruth, 15 April 1684; and Jonathan, 23 January posthumous, for his father died 31 July preceding, perhaps at Groton, where he was freeman 1672, of whose proprietors he was clerk.

JONATHAN MORSE, Newbury, son of William Morse of the same, married 3 1671, Mary Clark, removed to Beverly, there had baptized Jonathan, November 1673, Mary, baptized at Newbury 4 June 1676; and Jonathan, baptized at Newbury 29 June 1681; was after of Middleborough, and one of the founders of First Church there; about July 1709.

JOSEPH MORSE, Ipswich 1642, probably from County Suffolk, England. Had Dorothy, and sons Joseph and John, of which one, if not both, came over before him, and daughter Hannah, made his will 24 April 1646, and died September following.

JOSEPH MORSE, Watertown, eldest son of the preceding, came in the Elizabeth 1634 aged 24 from Ipswich, County Suffolk, probably sent by his father, was freeman 6 May 1635, married Esther Pierce, daughter of John Pierce of Watertown, had Joseph, born 30 April 1637; John, 28 February 1639; Jonathan, who died May 1643; Jonathan, again, 7 November 1643; Esther, 7 March 1646; Sarah, who married 2 June 1669, Timothy Cooper of Groton; Jeremiah; and Isaac. He died 4 March 1691. Esther married 9 December 1669, Jonathan Bullard.

JOSEPH MORSE, Dedham, son of Samuel Morse, born in England, came in the Increase, from London, 1635, aged 20, with father and mother, married 1 September 1638, Hannah Phillips, or Ann Phillips of Watertown, perhaps sister of Reverend George Phillips, had Samuel, born 10 January 1640; Hannah, 8 August 1641; Sarah, 16 September 1643; Dorcas, 24 August 1645; Elizabeth, September 1647; Joseph, 26 September 1649; Jeremiah, 10 June 1651; and another child shortly before his death. He died 20 June (or at least his inventory has that date) before the will of his father December 1654. His widow married 3 November 1658, Thomas Boyden of Watertown,

JOSEPH MORSE, Watertown, son of Joseph Morse of the same, married 12 April 1661, Susanna Shattuck, daughter of William Shattuck, had Susanna, born 11 January 1663; Esther, 11 September 1664; removed to Groton, there was freeman 1672, and had Joseph, 11 November 1667; Samuel, 4 September 1670; Mary, 11 February 1672; and Hannah, 7 April 1674, to which Dr. Bond adds Jonathan, without a date, and the assiduous genealogist of the name adds that he was born about 1680, while on the same page he makes the father dying 1677 which is right, for the widow married 5 July 1678, John Fay, wherefore I doubt, unless the Morse genealogy be wrong here. That author makes the birth of the son in the same year he tells me, wherein the father died 1667.

JOSEPH MORSE, MedfieId, son of John Morse first of that name, married 12 November 1668, Priscilla Colburn, had John, born 18 August 1669, died young; Joseph, 25 May 1671, or 10 February 1672, Harvard College 1695, minister by Mather's Hecatompolis at some Indians town in Connecticut, but after Of Dorchester, that part which became Stoughton, now Canton; John, again, 29 June 1673; Priscilla, 1675; Maria, 23 September 1677; Moses, 1680; Deborah, 26 November 1681; Israel, 30 November 1683; Nathaniel, 23 January 1686; and Aaron, 10 June 1688; was freeman 1672, and died 1689; and his widow died 3 February 1731.

JOSEPH MORSE, Newbury, son of William Morse, by wife Mary, had Benjamin; Joseph; Joshua; Sarah, born 7 July 1677; and Mary, 21 January 1679, her father died six days before, and she was baptized 18 May following.

JOSEPH MORSE, Dedham, son of Joseph Morse of the same, married 17 October 1671, Mehitable Wood, daughter of Nicholas Wood, lived at Sherborn, had Mehitable, born 12 April 1673, died young; Joseph, 3 April 1676, died soon Elisha, 12 December 1677, probably died young; Joseph, again 25 March 1679; Mehitable, again, 2 November 1681. The mother died ten days after, and he married 11 April 1683, Hannah Badcock, had James, born 1 July 1686; Hannah, 5 April 1689; Sarah, 12 April 1692; David, 31 December 1694; Issac, 14 September 1697; Keziah, 30 June 1700; and Asa, 24 August 1703. This wife died 9 November 1711, and he married 17 May 1713, Hannah, widow of Joseph Dyer, and died 19 February 1718; and his widow died 4 September 1727, aged 67.

JOSEPH MORSE, Newbury, son of the first Anthony Morse, by wife Joanna, had Hannah, born 15 February 1681; Joshua, 11 April 1686; died in few weeks; and Anthony, 15 April 1688. He died 28 March 1691, says Coffin; but the Genealogy which agrees with Coffin that his death 10 April 1691, gives him second wife Mary.

JOSHUA MORSE, came to Roxbury says the Genealgy, and served as chaplain in King William's war with the French, had graduate the same name, who was a preacher.

NATHANIEL MORSE, Sheborn, son of Daniel Morse, first of the name, by wife Mary, had Nathaniel, born 1680, died soon; Nathaniel, again, 1682; Joseph, 1683; Benjamin, 1684, probably died soon; Aaron, 5 March 1686; Mary and Rachel, twins 2 April 1687; Ruth, 21 October 1688; Dorothy, 1695 and Obadiah, 1698; was a Deacon, and died 17 October 1728.

OBADIAH MORSE, Sherborn, eldest brother of the preceding, freeman 1672 or being so entitled in each year, married Martha Johnson, had only Obadiah, who died young, was first clerk of the town, and Deacon, died 4 March 1704, and his widow died 1714.

OBADIAH MORSE, removed 1674, is called of Portsmouth in the records but I fear, he can have no more told of him, but that in February 1690, with majority New Hampshire people, he desired jurisdiction of Massachusetts.

PETER MORSE, Newbury, brother of the first Anthony Morse, probably went with others to New Jersey where they obtained large grant of land.

ROBERT MORSE, Boston, brother of the first Anthony Morse, brought from England, wife Elizabeth and probably son Abraham, had James, born at Boston 1644, removed to Newbury, perhaps before his wife died, but more likely after marrying 30 October 1654, Ann Lewis, had Elizabeth, born 25 September 1655, died in 6 months; Robert, 1 February 1657; Mary, 25 February 1658, died in 8 months; a daughter 6 December 1660, who lived not to obtain a name; Lydia, 13 July 1662; and Sarah, 28 April 1665, but Coffin makes it a year later; some time at Rowley, there, perhaps, had Peter, and at least removed to New Jersey.

SAMUEL MORSE, Dedham, father of Daniel Morse, came in the Increase, from London, 1635, aged 50, with wife Elizabeth 48, and son Joseph, before mentioned, but how the other children came or when, is uncertain; freeman 8 October 1640, says the Genealogical 20 June 1654; but either that date or one of his will is wrong, as published In Genealogical Registrar V. 299, where the test is 2 December 1654. Mr. Morse assures me, the true date is 5 December. I presume the death of his son Joseph was intended for June. Farmer says he died 3 days after and agrees with town record therein. It gives wife Elizabeth all his estate but after her life to be divided among children John, Daniel, Mary, wife of Samuel Bullen, besides Ann, widow of Joseph, for his children equally and no more; that I doubt the other names given in the Genealogy may not be all correct, especially as Abigail is said, therein, to married Daniel Fisher, the speaker, whose wife was, I think, Abigail Marrett, daughter of Thomas Marrett. Genealogical Registrar IX. 141, gives the inventory by widow Elizabeth 10 January 1655. Perhaps the dates are confused by the numerals for months and days in one of the transactions being interchanged. The widow died 20 June 1665.

SAMUEL MORSE, perhaps son of the preceding, lived at Dedham, says the Genealogy, there by wife Mary Bullen, had Mary, born 20 June 1642; and Samuel; but it could tell no more, and guesses that he removed to East.

SAMUEL MORSE, Dedham, in the part which became Medfield, eldest son of Joseph Morse of the same, married 10 February 1665, Elizabeth Moore, had Samuel, born 8 February 1666; Elizabeth, 28 March 1668; Hannah, 30 August 1669, died soon; Hannah, again, 9 November 1670, died soon; Ruth, 21 March 1672; Joseph, 16 January 1674, both these died young; Joshua, 7 April 1679; Eleazer, 10 1680; and Belloni, 19 June 1682; and in one week after his wife died he married 29 April 1684, Sarah Thurston, had Solomon 5 January 1685; and Sarah, 11 July 1636; and this wife died 29 April 1688; and he died 28 February 1718.

SAMUEL MORSE, Sherborn, youngest son of the first Daniel Morse, by wife Deborah, had Samuel, born 4 June 1687; Eleazer, 22 October 1688; Deborah, 1690; Mehitable, 1695, died soon; Martha and Sarah, perhaps twins 1696; Bethia, 1698; Miriam, 30 June 1700; Tabitha, 1702; and Benjamin, 1703, died next year, and the father died 2 March 1704, and his wife died 5 October 1719.

THOMAS MORSE, Dedham, administered the church 28 June 1640, but I find not his name in the great Genealogy in the preparation of who Reverend Abner, in our days, spent over thirty years.

WALTER MORSE, Boston, I suppose of Muddy River before 1667, James Clark of that plantation in his will provides for the daughter who married him, yet his name is not included with the innumerable Morses.

WILLIAM MORSE, Newbury, brother of Anthony Morse, came with him 1635, in the James, from Southampton, having been a shoemaker at Marlborough, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, who died 18 March 1655; Ann, perhaps before her, yet may be the daughter named by Coffin, 6 March 1641; perhaps John, who lived at Tiverton; Jonathan, 1640; Joseph; Timothy, 10 June 1647 or 8, died young; Abigail, 14 February 1652; and probably Edmund; died says Coffin, 29 November 1683, aged 69. He had also Joshua, and probably William, as he is called senior. All the family was scattered by the witchcraft virulence, some to Rhode Island, some to Plymouth, and perhaps not a few in New Jersey or further. Some were spelled Moss. Ann married 5 February 1655, Francis Thorla of Newbury. Mather, Magnalia VI. 68, exults in the wondrous, diabolical operations, within, around, and against his dwelling, of which all were traceable, to a roguish grandson. It was Increase Mather that first published the full relationship of those follies as wonders. Much of the evidence how the devil was played in 1679, for who Elizabeth the poor tormented grandmother of young scapegrace, was sentenced to be hanged, but happily pardoned; before the great adversary's full triumph, was gathered by Coffin in his History of Newbury, and is well given in the Memorial of the Morses. Thirteen of this name in several forms of spelling, had, in 1834 been graduates at Harvard, six at Dartmouth, four at Yale, and three at other New England colleges.

EDWARD MORTIMER, EDWARD MORTIMORE, or EDWARD MALTIMORE, Boston, merchant, by wife Jane, had Dorcas, born 28 November 1674; Edward, 20 June 1676; Elizabeth, 19 August 1678; Richard, 10 August 1680; Jane, 12 July 1686; and Robert, 31 July 1688. He is highly commended by John Dunton, who says he came from Ireland.

RICHARD MORTIMER, RICHARD MORTIMORE, or RICHARD MALTIMORE, Boston, perhaps brother of the preceding, by wife Ann, had Mary, born 28 May 1664.

THOMAS MORTIMER, THOMAS MORTIMORE, or THOMAS MALTIMORE, New London, was constable 1680, had wife Elizabeth and two daughters, Mary, who married Robert Stoddard, and Elizabeth married Abraham Willey. He died 11 March 1710.

CHARLES MORTON, Charlestown, eldest son of Reverend Nicholas Morton, who died at Southwark, near London, there having a parish, descendant of an ancestor, married at Morton, in County Notts, where was the seat of Thomas Morton, says Farmer, Secretary of Edward III, was born 1626, in Cornwall, bred at Wadham College Oxford, and settled at Blisland, in his native County as a minister thence ejected in 1662, he lived several years at Newington Green, near London, and was wholly engaged in teaching a private seminary until 1686, when he embarked for Boston, and 5 November of this year was ordained at Charlestown. His nephew Charles Morton, an marriedD., came with him, but went home in July of next year; another nephew Nicholas Morton, Harvard College 1686, who died at Charlestown, 3 November 1689, had come a year earlier than his uncle. An aged widow Ann, says the record died 20 December 1690; but she may not have been related. Some reports still circulate about the design of making him head of our college, but there can be no foundation for the idea, that such an inducement caused his coming. For Increase Mather was chosen nearly a year before his leaving England, and some jealousy was raised against him for teaching matters of high rank in the college curriculum. Vice President he was indeed chosen being the first in such rank, and, I suppose, the last who acted under a President officer, for when the Institute was relieved from the rule of Mather, and nobody was to be found fit to be his successor, with condition of residence on adequate salary, Willard was made real head of the College with the inferior title that Morton had enjoyed, yet not held to residence. Morton was too old to succeed Mather, when this latter was sent to England, and died some years before the office was vacated by him. It is rather strange, that his death which was on 11 April 1698, by Penhallow, who was his pupil in England and came over with him, is marked 1696, see 2 Massachusetts History Collection I. 162, and by Dr. Bartett, in the next Volume of Collections 171, noted 1706, aged 80. Plymouth Morton, son of George Morton, came with his father in the Ann, 1623; but Judge Davis, in the preface to the Memorial, says, he was born on the passage. Cotton's Plymouth church history in 1 Historical Collections IV. 126, marks his death 7 September 1693, in 70th year of his age, which implies that he was born after the arrival of the ship in July. Perhaps the difference may be explained by error in Cotton's use of the Latin word, as very frequently occurs in careless modern writers. He married 18 November 1644, Ann Cooper, who died 1 September 1691, had Ephraim, born 27 January 1648; Rebecca, 15 March 1651; Josiah, 1653; George; Nathaniel; Eleazer; Thomas; and Patience; who were all married, and each son had issue. He had second wife Mary Shelly, widow of William Harlow, daughter of Robert Shelly of Scituate, was a man of much service in the council of war, a Colonel, and Representative 28 years from 1657, and again under the new Charter 1692, also a Deacon in which office his son George succeeded. Nathaniel Mortonwas in the military, a Lieutenant. He is by Judge Davis named ancestor of Perez Morton, late Attorney General.

GEORGE MORTON, Plymouth, not the son of Thomas Morton, born at Austerfield, in Yorkshire, baptized 12 February 1599, yet, no doubt, a relative of that numerous family, perhaps brother of the second Thomas Morton, came in the Ann, 1623 with wife, married at Leyden, 23 July 1612, Julian Carpenter, daughter of Alexander Carpenter, and four or five children, counted with Experience Mitchell for 8 in the division 1624 of lands, and died in June the same year leaving widow Julian Bradford, who married Manasseh Kempton, and is thought to have been sister of Governor Bradford, and died 19 February 1665, aged 81, besides children Nathaniel; Patience, who married 1633, a felllow-passenger John Faunce, father of the celebrated Elder; John, born 1616; Sarah, 1618, married 20 December 1644, George Bonham; and Ephraim, before mentioned. By sagacious conjecture he is presumed to be the Editor of the valuable tract, usually called Mourt's Relation. See Dr. Young, Chronicles of Pilgrims 113. Dr. Felt, Annals of Salem, I. 228, differs from Dr. Young, and speaks of Mourt as visiting Naumkeag in 1621; but his address "to the reader" seems to imply of necessity, that he had never visited our country, though he hoped to.

GEORGE MORTON, Plymouth, perhaps son of the preceding, at least, how the record of Plymouth that mentioned daughter Phebe, wife of George, 22 May 1663, can otherwise be explained. I do not discover and elucidation must be waited for.

GEORGE MORTON, Plymouth, son perhaps eldest, of Ephraim Morton of the same, married 22 December 1664, Joanna Kempton, daughter of Ephraim Kempton, was one of the first purchasers of Dartmouth, 1652, though then an infant, if his father prefers to have the right in his name. He had Hannah, born 27 November 1668, if the Colony record be right, which is very improble; Manasseh, 3 February 1669; Ephraim, 12 April 1670; Joanna, 27 June 1673; Ruth, 20 December 1676: George, 8 July 1678; Timothy, 12 March 1682.

JOHN MORTON, Plymouth, son of the first George Morton, came with his father, by wife Lettice, had John, born 11 December 1649, died soon; John, again, 21 December 1650; Deborah; Mary; Martha, Hannah; Esther; and Manasseh and Ephraim, twins 7 June 1653; Representative 1662, removed to Middleborough, of where he was Representative 1672, and died 3 October 1673. His widow married Andrew Ring, and died 22 February 1691. He is, by Judge Davis, reputed to be ancestor of Governor Marcus Morton.

NATHANIEL MORTON, Plymouth, eldest son of George Morton the first, born in England 1613, came with his father, freeman 1635, and that year married Lydia Cooper, had Remember, born 1637; Mercy; Lydia; Elizabeth, 3 May 1652; Joanna, 9 November 1654; and Hannah; besides Eliezer, and Nathaniel, who both died in early youth so that descendants in male line fail. He was Secretary of the Colony from 1645 till he died 29 June 1685. The first wife died 23 September 1673, and he married 29 April 1674, Ann, widow of Richard Templar of Charlestown, who survived him, and died at Charlestown 26 December 1690, aged 66. Remember married 18 November 1657, Abraham Jackson; Mercy married at the same time, Joseph Dunham, and died before her father; Hannah married 27 November 1666, Benjamin Bosworth of Hull; Lydia married George Ellison; Joanna married 7 December 1670, Joseph Prince of Hull; and Elizabeth married 7 December 1670, Benjamin Bosworth. He had the benefit of all the MSS of his uncle, Governor Bradford, and compiled the well known Memorial, of which the fifth daughter was illustrated by Judge Davis.

RICHARD MORTON, Hartford, blacksmith, was freeman there 1669, had Richard and Thomas, removed 1670 to Hatfield, there had John, born 1670, died soon; Joseph, 1672; John, again, 1674, died young; Abraham, 1676; Elizabeth 1680; Ebenezer, 1682; and Jonathan, 1684; was freeman 1690, and died 1710. His widow Ruth died 1714. All his sons except Thomas, lived at Hatfield.

RICHARD MORTON, Hatfield, son of the preceding, married 1690, Mehitable Graves, daughter of Isaac Graves of the same, died next year, and his widow married William Worthington of Hartford.

THOMAS MORTON, Plymouth, came in the Fortune, November 1621, and either died or went home soon after the division of lands in which he had part, and before the division of cattle 1627, in which he had none. See Davis's Morton, 378.

THOMAS MORTON, Braintree, the pettifogger of Clifford's Inn, London, came June 1622, and seems much to have displeased all the settlers in other plantations perhaps in no small degree for calling his plantation Merry Mount; was seized and sent home, June 1628, for causes well set down by Governor Bradford in 1 Historical Collections III. 62; soon came back, and following similar courses, and by Governor Winthrop, in 1630, was sent off; still he was infatuated with love of New England, and a third time got there and a third time was punished and died in poverty at York, about 1646. See Winthrop II. 192. He published New English Canaan, one of the most amusing, and not least valuable of the books descriptions of our country. He probably had no wife.

THOMAS MORTON, Plymouth, came in the Ann 1623, in company with George Morton, who may have been his brother, is called junior in the division of cattle 1627, though other Thomas Morton is not named, was still resident about there 1641. See Davis's Morton, 379, 382, 403. He was an original purchaser of Dartmouth in 1652.

WILLIAM MORTON, New London, one of the first settlers in 1646, constable 1658, and after died probably 1668, without children.

WILLIAM MORTON, Windsor, freeman 1669, died about 1670, had William, who died before his father; John; Thomas, who died before his father leaving children. Five of this name had, in 1834, been graduates of Harvard, and six other New England colleges.

MOSELEY. See Maudsley. Twelve of this name had been graduates in 1829, at Yale, one at Harvard, and five at other New England colleges.

AARON MOSES, New Hampshire, 1690, perhaps son of John Moses, craved jurisdiction of Massachusetts that year.

HENRY MOSES, Salem, married 1 April 1659, Remember, daughter of Edward, had Hannah, born 20 January 1660, died next year; Henry, 8 February 1662; Elizabeth, 8 February 1664; John, 19 November 1666; Remember, 14 November 1668; Edward, 10 November 1670; Eleazer, 23 March 1623; and Samuel, 24 June 1677.

JOHN MOSES, Windsor 1647, married 18 May 1653, Mary Brown, had John, born 15 Jun 1654; William, 1 September 1655; Thomas, 19 February 1659, both the last died before the father; Mary, 2 December 1661; Sarah, 2 February 1663, Margaret, 2 December 1666; Timothy, February 1670; Martha, 3 March 1672; and Mindwell, 13 December 1676. He died 14 October 1683; and his widow died 14 September 1689, and his daughter Mary married 1685, as his second wife Samuel Farnsworth. The name is perpetuated in the neighborhood.

JOHN MOSES, New Hampshire, 1658. Farmer says the name is still in the East part of the State.

ARTHUR MOSIER, or ARTHUR MOSHIER, Boston, by wife Rebecca, had Lydia, born 25 February 1678, Thomas, 22 September 1619; and Samuel, 21 January 1683. Perhaps the name has become Mosher.

HUGH MOSIER, or HUGH MOSHIER, Falmouth, 1640, came, perhaps, in the Jane, from London, in eight weeks passage, arriving at Boston 12 June 1632, was inhabitant of Newport 1660, engaged in the purchase of Misquamicut, died before 1666, leaving James and John, says Willis, I.37. He had not then acquired the knowledge of residence of Hugh in Rhode Island, where he married Rebecca Harndel, daughter of John Harndel of Newport, as second wife probably unless another Hugh be intended in the will of her father 9 February 1686. See also Massachusetts History Collection I. 93, in notes. Of James Mosier, we know only that he was administrator 1666, appointed at the July Court on estate of his father and of John, that in 1683, he was of Brookhaven, Long Island, and gave coveyance of land in Casco Bay.

JAMES MOSMAN, Wrentham, by wife Ann, had Elizabeth, born 24 May 1675, died 6 March following. He removed to Roxbury, there had Timothy, born 17 November 1679; and Elizabeth, 18 December 1696; but it is not sure that it was by the same wife or whether other children had not been born perhaps in another town.

JOHN MOSS, New Haven 1639, signed the original Company 4 June 1643, had John, baptized probably 5 January 1640, died young; Samuel, 4 April 1641; Abigail, 10 April 1642; Joseph, probably 5 November 1643; Ephraim, 16 November 1645; Mary, 11 April 1647; Mercy, male, 1 April 1649; John, again, born 12, baptized 20 October 1650; Elizabeth, 3, baptized 7 October 1652; Esther, 2 January 1654; and Isaac, 21, baptized 30 November 1655; as the print in Genealogical Registrar IX. 361, gives the baptism which may be a mistake for December. The record of birth may be trusted, that of baptism is certainly wrong. He was Representative 1667-70, and then removed to Wallingford 1670, of which he was Representative 1671-3, yet continued proprietor at New Haven, died 1707, aged 103, perhaps with slight exaggeration, yet thought to be the oldest that ever died in Connecticut. See Dana, Cent. disc. 1770. Abigail, married 2 July 1663, Abraham Doolittle, as his second wife; Mary married 3 November 1664, John Peck; and Elizabeth married 1670, Nathaniel Hitchcock.

JOHN MOSS, Salisbury, by wife Sarah, had Joseph, born 11 January 1694; Abiel, 19 August 1695; Mary, 4 March 1697, and Benjamin, 24 October 1698. He may have been a Morse.

JOSEPH MOSS, New Haven, son of John Moss of the same, married 11 April 1667, Mary Alling, daughter of Roger Alling, had, besides probably others, Samuel, born 27 January 1675, died next year; Joseph Moss, 7 April 1679, Harvard College 1699, a minister of reputation at Derby, ordained 1706; and Samuel, again, 18 March 1681; and died 18 March 1716.

JOSEPH MOSS, Boston, by wife had Joseph, born 22 March 1687; and Joseph, again, 18 January 1689.

MERCY MOSS, New Haven, son of John Moss, by wife Elizabeth, had John; and William, born 28 June 1682; but perhaps John was not the elder. He died not long after for his inventory was of 3 March 1685, and only the widow and two sons to have interest in it. In no other case have I seen this female name enjoyed by a man. The surname is sometimes written by mistake for Morse.

ADAM MOTT, Hingham, a tailor, from Cambridge, England, came in the Defence 1635, aged 39, with wife Sarah, 31, and children John, 14; Adam, 12; Jonathan, 9; Elizabeth, 6; and Mary, 4; was first of Roxbury, freeman 25 May 1636; perhaps disatisfied as a friend of Hutchinson, went 1638 to Rhode Island with family, there had, perhaps, more children and was with Adam junior, John, and Jonathan, perhaps his son lived at Portsmouth, as freeman 1655.

ADAM MOTT, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, son of the preceding, married Court 1647, Mary Lott, had Adam, born September 1650; Mary, 1 January 1656; Sarah, October 1657; Elizabeth, 9 August 1659; Phebe, 20 August 1661; this 1 April 1664; Abigail, 3 May 1666; and John, 1 January 1656;

JACOB MOTT, Newport, perhaps son of the first Adam Mott, by wife Joanna, had Hannah, born November 1663; Mercy, 8 January 1666 Sarah, 3 February 1670; Elizabeth, 12 September 1672; and Samuel, 4 September 1678.

JOHN MOTT Newport, perhaps brother of the first Adam Mott, signed the compact at the same time with him, July 1638, was of Block Island or one of the same name, 1684.

NATHANIEL MOTT, Scituate, able to bear arms 1643, removed to Braintree, married 1656, Hannah Shooter, had Nathaniel, born 28 December 1657. A Margaret Mott came in the Speedwell, 1656, aged 12.

EDWARD MOULD, Salem, by wife whose name, in Essex Institute II. 297, seems an impossible one, had Edward, born 30 October 1662.

HUGH MOULD, New London 1660, ship builder, married 11 June 1662, Martha Coit, daughter of John Coit, had been probably first at Barnstable, died 1692, leaving widow Martha, and six daughters of who Susanna married March 1683, Daniel White; and Mary married 3 April 1693, Joseph White, and the mother of the girls married the father of their husbands, as his second wife.

SAMUEL MOULD, Charlestown, by wife Mary, had Mary, baptized 30 March 1689, the mother having been baptized 13 February 1687, aged 20.

NICHOLAS MOULDER, Boston 1671, merchant, by wife Christian, had Nicholas, born 21 June 1672. He was abused as a Quaker, by Governor Bellingham, and removed to whence he came. But another kind of abuse was practised in the change of his Christian name at Boston, for the Friend's record prove that it was:

EDWARD MOULDER, and that at Newport, by wife Christian, he had Edward, born 24 March 1669; and at Boston, Nicholas, 29 May 1671, who probably died soon; and Nicholas, again, agreeable to Boston record 21 June 1672.

JOHN MOULTHROP, or JOHN MOULTROP, New Haven, son of the second Matthew Moulthrop, married 29 June 1692, Abigail Bradley, daughter of Joseph Bradley, had Abigail, born 12 August 1693; John, 17 March 1696; Mary, 1698, died young; Sarah, 1701; Dan, 1 December 1703; Israel, 7 June 1706; Joseph; and Timothy.

MATTHEW MOULTHROP, or MATTHEW MOULTROP, New Haven 1639, by wife Jane, had Matthew, Elizabeth, and Mary, perhaps the first two born in England, certainly Elizabeth born in 1638; and Mary, in 1641, were born in 1642. He died 22 December 1668, and his widow died May 1672. Elizabeth married 1663, John Gregory,

MATTHEW MOULTHROP, or MATTHEW MOULTROP, New Haven, son of the preceding, married 26 June 1662, Hannah Thompson, daughter of the first John Thompson, had Hannah, born 2 November 1663, died soon: Hannah, again, 20 April 1665, who married 17 August 1687, John Russell; John, 5 February 1668; Matthew, 18 July 1670; another child 1673, died soon; Lydia, 8 August 1674; Samuel, 24 June 1677, died soon; Samuel, again 13 April 1679; and Keziah, 12 April 1682; was freeman 1669; a proprietor 1685, and died 1 February 1692, aged 53.

BENJAMIN MOULTON, Hampton, son of William Moulton, took oath of fidelity 1678, and was living in 1690 to desire jurisdiction of Massachusetts.

HENRY MOULTON, Hampton 1640, probably son of John Moulton, born in England. His will in 1654, names wife Mary Hilton, I think a daughter of Edward Hilton, children Jonathan and David.

JAMES MOULTON, Salem, joined the church 31 December 1637, as did his wife Mary next year; had there baptized James, 7 January 1638; and Samuel, 25 December 1642, besides daughter Mary, who may have been born after removing from Salem; was freeman March 1638, lived at Wenham 1667, and there died. His will of 1679, names the two sons and daughter Mary Friend.

JEREMIAH MOULTON, York, perhaps son of Thomas Moulton, took oath of allegiance 1681, Representative 1692, and after the councellor, died 22 October 1727, in 77th year.

JOHN MOULTON, Newbury, came from Ormsby, in County Norfolk, near Great Yarmouth, embarked April 1637, called husbandman, aged 38, with wife Ann of same age, five children, Henry, Mary, Ann, Jane, and Bridget, two servants Adam Goodwin, 20, and Alice Eden, 19; had John, baptized March 1638; removed to Hampton 1639, there had Ruth, baptized 7 May 1640, died 1651, says Coffin, who also informs us that he had other children William, and Thomas, and the Jane and Bridget were twins who died on the same day, 19 March 1699, aged 64. Of the case of the twins Cotton Mather took advantage to write to Woodward of the Royal Society a memoir on those maidens that may be read in New Hampshire Historical Collections III. 122. His will of 1650, names wife Ann; sons Henry, John, and Thomas; daughters Mary Sanborn, Ann, Jane, Bridget; and son Sanborn. In the same ship came a widow from Ormsby, Mary Moulton aged 38 years with two servants John Maston, aged 20, and Marian Moulton, 23; also Ruth Moulton, a maiden of 20.

JOHN MOULTON, Hampton, 1678, may have been son of the preceding, or of another, probably married 23 March 1666, Lydia Taylor, daughter of the first Anthony Taylor, had Martha, born 16 November following; son John, who took oath of fidelity the same year called junior.

JOHN MOULTON, Salem, married a daughter of Giles Corey, who before suffering died by horrid form of the old common law, made his will July 1692, in favor of two sons-in-law, given all lands stock and other property to them, as by our law conviction did not work forfeit.

JOSEPH MOULTON, Hampton 1678, son of William of the same, or of second Robert, in 1690, requested jurisdiction of Massachusetts.

JOSEPH MOULTON, York 1680, perhaps brother of Jeremiah Moulton, swore allegiance 1681.

ROBERT MOULTON, Salem, a shipbuilder, came 1629, in the fleet with Higginson, but went to Charlestown soon, freeman 18 May 1631, was one of the first selectmen, and Representative at the first Court, 1634, and for Salem, to where he had removed in 1637, and was that year disarmed as a friend of Wheelwright, died 1655, leaving Robert, and Dorothy, of one Edwards, both named, as also grandson Robert, in his will of 20 February probated 20 June following. See Young's Chronicles of Massachusetts 161.

ROBERT MOULTON, Salem, son of the preceding, born in England, recorded of the church; 1640, had Robert, baptized 23 June 1644; Abigail; Samuel; Hannah; John, 25 June 1655; Joseph, 3 January 1657; Miriam, January 1659; and Mary, 16 June 1661; most of these by wife Abigail, if not all; some, perhaps, before Robert; Samuel, died in autumn of 1665. His will of 5 September was probated November following. Miriam married 8 October 1677, Joseph Bachiler.

ROBERT MOULTON, Salem, married 17 July 1672, Mary Cook, had Mary, born 2 June following; Robert, 3 September 1675; Ebenezer, 28 April 1678, and Abigail, 28 February 1682; may have lived at Hampton 1678, was probably son of the preceding.

THOMAS MOULTON, Charlestown 1631, perhaps brother of the first Robert Moulton, lived on Malden side, had Jane, and children John, baptized 16 March 1633; Martha, 24 July 1637; Hannah, 20 December 1641; Elizabeth, 24 April 1642; besides Jacob, whose baptism is not known, who died December 1657. A daughter Mary, I think, married November 1655, Thomas Mitchell.

THOMAS MOULTON, Newbury 1637, removed with Reverend Mr. Bachilor, in 1639, to Hampton, by wife Martha, had Thomas, baptized 24 November 1639; and Daniel, 13 February 1641; was freeman 13 March 1639, and died 18 February 1665.

WILLIAM MOULTON, Hampton, came 1637, aged 20, as servant of Robert Page of Ormsby, County Norfolk, and married his daughter Margaret, had Joseph, Benjamin, Hannah, Mary, Robert, and Sarah, who was born 17 December 1656; all mentioned in his will of 8 March 1664, probated October following, besides provision for unknown daughter perhaps called Ruth. Mary married 1 January 1674, it is said, Jonathan Haynes of Hampton, who died soon, and he next married 30 December of the same year Sarah Moulton, daughter of wife Moulton, and I presume, sister of the first wife though the account in Genealogical Registrar IX. 349, does not pledge itself to any parentage of the first wife.

WILLIAM MOULTON, Newbury, perhaps; brother of John married 27 May 1685, Abigail Webster, daughter of John Webster, had Abigail, born 13 June 1686; Batt, 4 July 1688; Jonathan, 7 September 1692; Joseph, 25 November 1694; Margaret, 7 February 1699, died at 2 years; Sarah, 4 July 1701; and Mary, 2 August 1705.

EBENEZER MOUNTFORT, EBENEZER MUNFORD, or EBENEZER MUMFORD, Boston, in March 1676, when the second church was burnt, his house was also burned; perhaps was father of Ebenezer Mountfort, Harvard College 1702.

WALTER MOUNTJOY, Salem, married 18 January 1672, widow Elizabeth Owen. See Munjoy.

JOHN MOUSALL, Charlestown with wife joined the church 23 August, freeman 3 September of that year, Representative 1635, Artillery Company 1641, selectman 1642, removed Woburn, and died 27 March 1665. Possibly he was tempted to Salem, for Felt prints Mousar John as having grant of land there 1639, and among church members 1646, prints Ruth Monsall, both so very closely resembling this name, may be mistaken for it. His daughter Eunice married 1 November 1649, John Brooks. His will, of 9 June 1660, probated 4 April 1665, names wife Joanna, makes son John and John Brooks executors with remembering of Sarah, Eunice, and Joanna Brooks, grandchildren of testator.

JOHN MOUSALL, Woburn, son of the preceding, married 13 May 1650, Sarah Brooks.

JOHN MOUSALL, Charlestown, son probably of Ralph, born in England, by wife Elizabeth, who died 16 August 1685, aged 51, had Elizabeth, born 16 July 1659; was, I suppose, that soldier of Moseley's Company in December 1675, in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 242, printed Monsall, died 1 February 1704, aged 74. Elizabeth married 19 June 1679, Samuel Read.

RALPH MOUSALL, Charlestown, brother of the first John Mousall, came, I doubt not, in the fleet with Winthrop he being no. 72 and wife Alice 73 in the list of Boston church members, desired administration as freeman 19 October 1630, and 18 May following was sworn, when the name appears Mashell, and in Genealogical Registrar VII. 30, Moushole. He was one of the founders of the church at Charlestown, Representative 1636, 7, and 8, but being a favorer of Wheelwright, was ejected. Yet after holding his tongue and recovering reputation, was Deacon, died 30 April 1657, leaving John, who was probably born in England; Thomas, baptized 25 May 1633; Mary Goble; Ruth Wood; and Elizabeth. His will, of 13 April preceding, besides wife and children names cousins Nathaniel Ball, and Mary Wayne, and in a codicil ten days after, mentioned son Thomas having a son born. His widow died 1667.

THOMAS MOUSALL, Charlestown, son of the preceding, by wife Mary Richardson, perhaps daughter of Samuel Richardson, had Thomas, born 5 April 1655, died soon; Joseph, 10 April 1657, died in few weeks; Mary, 26 July 1659, baptized as also, Ralph, 21 June 1668; Joseph and Benjamin, twins baptized 21 February 1669; Samuel, 23 April 1671; Mercy, 28 September 1673; and Thomas, again, 22 November 1674. His wife died 13 September 1677, and he had second wife, and died 16 April 1713, in 81st year, and his widow Ann died 25 August 1742, in 82nd year. The son Ralph died at Charlestown 7 June 1718.

THOMAS MOUSSETT, Boston, by wife Catharine, had Peter, born 18 October 1687; was probably a Huguenot, and one of the four Ruling elders of that community. But the name is not found in Boston any more, though I discover that he owned Iand ln Roxbury 1698, and had lived at Braintree.

RICHARD MOWER, Salem 1638, was probably passenger in the Blessing from London, 1635, aged 20, a mariner, joined the church 1642, and had Samuel and Thomas, baptized 6 March in that year; Caleb, 31 March 1644; Joshua, 3 May 1646; Richard, 2 January 1648; Susanna, 12 May 1650; and Christian, 5 September 1652; was freeman 28 February 1643, employed by government 1654, had Mary, born so late as 15 January 1662, and was living 1696. Christian married 31 August 1676, Joshua Conant. See Moore, with which spelled Felt names him.

JOHN MOWRY may be written Morey, which see, or, as at the London custom-house Mory, a passenger aged 19 in the Blessing from London 1635. spelled with a W, was he of Providence 1676, who did not remove for the war.

GEORGE MOXON, Springfield, 37, the first minister came from Yorkshire, had been bred at Sidney College in the University of Cambridge, there took his A.B. 1623, and here, with wife Ann, sat down at Dorchester first, but after being made freeman 7 September 1637, was attracted to Springfield by his former neighbor Pynchon, with whom he was very intimate; had there son Union, born 16 February 1642; Samuel, 1645; and another son 1647, whose name is not mentioned in the records, but elder children Martha and Rebecca were in 1651, said to be bewitched by Mary, wife of Hugh Parsons, who was on trial, found guilty. The father was, perhaps, more influenced by the writing or conversation of Pynchon, whom he followed to their native land 1653. Johnson, in Wonderwork provided Lib. III. chapter 2, speaks largely of his ability, and sugests no misgiving about the soundness of his Faith; yet we can hardly doubt, that he was drawn home by sympathy with Pynchon to partake the greater freedom then enjoyed in England, and there died 15 September 1687, aged 85. Calamy, II. 313, names his son George among the minister ejected 1662.

HENRY MUDDLE, or HENRY MUDDLES, Gloucester, died by shipwreck, before June 1663, when inventory of small property was taken £14 6s. 10d.

JOHN MUDGE, Malden, perhaps son of Thomas Mudge, was a soldier of Moseley's Company December 1675, freeman 1690, by wife Ruth, had John, born 15 October 1685, probably died soon; John, again, 21 November 1686; Martha, 25 October 1691. His wife died 17 October 1733, and he died twelve days after.

MICAH MUDGE, Northampton 1670, son of Jervis Mudge, married that year Mary Alexander, daughter of George Alexander, removed to Northfield, among early proprietors, thence driven, 1675, and again, 1690, in the Indians wars, removed to Lebanon, about 1698 again to Hebron; had Ebenezer; Moses; Elizabeth; Mary; Thankful; Susanna; and Sarah, not all lived to 1721, when he made his will.

MOSES MUDGE, Sharon 1696, brother of the preceding. Caulkins, History New London 269.

THOMAS MUDGE, Malden 1658, had Samuel Mudge, born in May that year and, perhaps, Martha, wife of Reverend Michael Wigglesworth. A George Mudge died 25 1685, at Malden or Charlestown.

THOMAS MUDGET, Salisbury, married perhaps for second wife 8 October 1665, Sarah Morrell, eldest daughter of Abraham Morrell the first, had Mary, born 30 April 1667; daughter Temperance, 6 October 1670; was freeman 1690.

THOMAS MUDGET, Salisbury, son of the preceding, or, perhaps, the same, by wife Ann, had William, born 16 October 1696; Thomas, 8 January 1699, probably died soon; and Thomas, again, 17 December 1700.

JOHN MULFORD, Easthampton, Long Island, 1650, one of the first settlers, says Wood, 44, perhaps went home for some time, and came again in the Speedwell, 1656, from London when the name appears Mulfoot; was chosen Assistant 1658, had commission from Connecticut in 1664 as a Magistrate, and 1674 as a Judge.

JOHN MULFORD, Eastham, son probably of Thomas Mulford, married 1 November 1699, Jemima Higgins.

THOMAS MULFORD, Eastham, by wife Hannah, had John, born July 1670; Patience, 17 August 1674; Ann, 23 March 1677; and probably older than either, Thomas. His widow died 10 February 1718.

One Robert Mulligan, probably the father, died there 11 June 1741, and another Robert Mulligan, perhaps his son died 19 June 1756.

THOMAS MULLINER, New Haven 1640, was a great purchaser of Branford, by its Indians name of Totoket, in that year had division of lands there in 1646 and 8.

THOMAS MULLINER, New Haven, probably son of the preceding, sold out his lands at Bradford 1651, by wife Martha, had Martha, born 4 July 1656; and Elizabeth, 10 June 1658, removed about 1658 to West Chester, and there was living in 1691 with wife Martha.

WILLIAM MULLINS, or WILLIAM MOLINES, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 1620, with wife, two children Joseph and Priscilla, and a servant Robert Carter; but the wife died a few days before or after him, who died 21 February 1621; and the son and servant died the same season; but his daughter Priscilla married John Alden, and had eleven children.

WILLIAM MULLINS, or WILLIAM MOLINES, Duxbury 1642, may have been son of the preceding, left by his father in England or Holland, and after came to join the surviving friends. He had lands in Middleborough. Good estate as well as character is told of the pilgrim.

WILLIAM MULLINS, or WILLIAM MOLINES, Boston, married 7 May 1656, Ann, widow of Thomas Bell.

EDMUND MUMFORD, Boston, married Elizabeth, widow of Joshua Carwithy of the same, about 1663; but I know no more.

PELEG MUMFORD, Kingstown, son of Thomas Mumford the first, had two wives it is said, Mary Bull, daughter of Ephraim Bull, and Mary Coggeshall, perhaps daughter of the second John Coggeshall, yet there is some uncertainty about this, for his son Peleg is also said to have married that daughter of Ephraim Bull. In the will of the father however, probated 1741, are named his children Peleg; Mary Hanson; Sarah Barber; Elizabeth Foster; and Hannah Hopkins; besides grandchildren Samuel, Peleg, Thomas, Abigail, and Content. His kinsman, William Mumford, was made executor.

STEPHEN MUMFORD, Newport, came from London 1664, and was the first preacher of the sect of Seventh Day Baptist which prevails in a part of the State. I presume he had descendants.

THOMAS MUMFORD, Newport, had Thomas, born 1656; Peleg, 1659; George; and Abigail, who married 1 May 1682, Daniel Fish. Yet he does not appear a constant resident at Newport, though he joined with Brenton, John Hull, and others in purchasing and settlement of Pettaquamscuck. Possibly the name is the same Mountfort. The name of his wife is not known nor the time of his death, but it was before 1692.

THOMAS MUMFORD, probably of Kingstown, eldest son of the preceding, by wife Abigail (whose surname is not told), had Thomas, born 1 April 1687; George, 15 July 1689; Joseph, 17 September 1691; William, 18 February 1694; Benjamin, 10 April 1696; and Richard, 6 September 1698; where six sons were popularly called the thirty-six feet Mumfords. His wife died 1707, in her 38th year. Perhaps he had another wife Esther Tefft, in 1708, and by her, John, Sarah, Tabitha, and Esther, and he died 1726.

WILLIAM MUMFORD, a Quaker, whipped at Boston 1677, where, I presume, he staid not long.

BENJAMIN MUN, or BENJAMIN MUNN, Hartford, served in the war with the Pequots, removed to Springfield, married 1649, Abigail Burt, widow of Francis Ball, daughter of Henry Burt, had Abigail, born 1650; John, 1652; Benjamin, 1665; James, 1657; and Nathaniel, 1661; and died November 1675. His widow married Lieutenant Thomas Stebbins, and his daughter Abigail married Thomas Stebbins junior.

DANIEL MUN, or DANIEL MUNN, Milford, died 1666, leaving will. Inventory of his estate was £42.

JAMES MUN, or JAMES MUNN, Springfield, son of Benjamin Mun, was in the fight at Turner's Falls, 1676, and settled at Colchester.

JOHN MUN, or JOHN MUNN, Westfield, eldest brother of the preceding, was in the great fight of Turner's falls, married 23 December 1680, Abigail Parsons, and died at Springfield 16 September 1684, leaving John, born 16 March 1682, and Benjamin. His widow married 7 October 1686, John Richards of Westfield.

NATHANIEL MUN, or NATHANIEL MUNN, Springfield, youngest brother of the preceding, may have had family.

SAMUEL MUN, or SAMUEL MUNN, Woodbury 1680, wheelwright, may well seem to be of a different family from any of the preceding, as Cothren says he came in from Milford, and his father is unknown, had Jane, and Amy, baptized October 1680; Mary, November 1681; Daniel, February 1684; and Samuel, April 1687. In modern times the name has double n.

HENRY MUNDAY, or HENRY MONDAY, Salibury, freeman 13 May 1640, was rated in 1652, higher than any other inhabitant but one. Farmer, from the record says his wife died 22 July 1654. The spelling is sometimes Monde or Munde. He has prefix of respect in town records.

WILLIAM MUNDAY, or WILLIAM MONDAY, passenger In the Mary and John 1634, may have been father of the preceding, at least we know that several of the early settlers at Salisbury came in that voyage.

MUNDEN, Springfield married 16 May 1644, Ann Munson, had Mary, born 8 August 1645, and he was drowned 29 October at Enfield Falls, the same year. This daughter was complained against, 1676, at Northampton, of "wearing silk, and that in a flaunting manner; " the enormity of her offence was aggravated perhaps, by the disaster of her father thirty years before. Yet her character was so good as to obtain a husband next year Peter Plimpton.

JOHN MUNGER, Guilford, son of Nicholas Munger, married 1684, Mary Everts, daughter of James Everts, had Mary, born 1686, died young; John, 1687; Mary, again, 1689; Abigail, 1691; Ebenezer, 4 July 1693; Caleb, 1695; Jonathan, 1697; Josiah, 20 July, 1704; and Rachel, 1706; and he died November 1732; and his widow died 1734.

NICHOLAS MUNGER, Guilford, married 2 June 1659, Sarah Hull, had John, born 26 April 1660; and Samuel; died 16 October 1668. His widow married Dennis Scranton, or Dennis Crampton; but I have not courage enough to adjudge the right.

SAMUEL MUNGER, Guilford, younger son of the preceding, by wifearah, had Samuel, born 1689; Joseph, 1693; Sarah 1695; Deliverance, a died 1697; Nathaniel, 1699; James, 1701; Ann, 1703; and Jane 1705; and he died 5 November 1717.

BENJAMIN MUNJOY, or BENJAMIN MUNGY, of Boston, perhaps was a mariner in 1655, but of him no more is known except that administration on his estate was given in Essex County 28 June 1659, to his wife who brought in inventory of £19,2,5. Perhaps he was brother of George Munjoy.

GEORGE MUNJOY, or GEORGE MUNGY, Boston, master mariner, or ship carpenter 1647, son of John Munjoy of Abbotsham, near Biddeford, Devonshire, administered of the church 15 May, and same month freeman, married Mary Philips, only daughter of John Philips of Boston, had John, born 17, baptized 24 April 1653; George, 21, baptized 27 April 1656, when church record calls him John; and Josiah, 4 April 1658; next year bought the Noah's Ark tavern in Boston but removed soon to Casco, to have charge of the great purchase from Cleves, by his father-in-law, had at Falmouth, Mary, brought up to Boston for baptism 9 July 1665; and Hepzibah, besides sons Phillips, Benjamin, Pelatiah, and Gershom; all living 1675, when the Indians war began. He died 1681, leaving widow Mary and most of the children, so before mentioned but only three had families. Mary married John Palmer of Falmouth; Hepzibah married a Mortimore; and the widow Robert Lawrence, and in 1690, Stephen Cross.

GEORGE MUNJOY, or GEORGE MUNGY, Braintree, son of the preceding. By wife Mary, had Josiah, who died without children; Mary; and another daughter born after he made his will, 25 February 1697; and he died next year.

JOHN MUNJOY, or JOHN MUNGY, Falmouth, brother of the preceding, was killed by the Indians in their assault, 11 August 1676, and left widow and only child Huldah, so that the name was soon extinct, except as it is preserved in the hill on which stands the observatory in the beautiful city of Portland. See Willis, I. 93, 170. Munjoy was easily adopted from the sound of old Mountjoy; but the ancestor in our country always used the shorter form.

EDMUND MUNNINGS, or EDMUND MULLINGS, Dorchester, came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 40, with wife Mary, 30; and children Mary, 9; Ann, 6; and Mahalaleel, 3. At Dorchester had Hopestill, born 15 April 1637; Returned, 7 September 1640; and Takeheed, 20 October 1642. He was a proprietor late as 1658, but had probably gone home, I think, to Malden, County Essex, there, at least was somehow connected with Joseph Hills, who before coming over had given Munnings £11 in a bill for bringing one bullock for the use of Hills.

GEORGE MUNNINGS, or GEORGE MULLINGS, Watertown, came from Ipswich, County Suffolk in the Elizabeth, 1634, aged 37, with wife Elizabeth, 41; and children Elizabeth, 12; and Abigail, 7; freeman 4 March 1635; perhaps had Rebecca, who married 14 January 1652, Edmund Maddooks at Boston; was active in church and town, lost an eye in service of the Pequot war 1637; was an original proprietor of Sudbury but resided at Boston 1645, several years kept the gaol, and died at Boston 24 August 1658. His will, made the day before, names wife Johanna, to whom he gave his estate. She had, I judge, been widow of Simon Boyer. See Genealogical Registrar VIII. 354. Farmer has noted the misprint of his name in the Christian Examiner for 1828, page 501.

GEORGE MUNNINGS, or GEORGE MULLINGS, Boston, son probably of the preceding. By wife Hannah, had George, born 24 November 1655; Elizabeth, 19 March 1657; Elisha, 15 December 1659; Elizabeth again, 13 October 1661; James, 6 March 1663; Hannah, 20 April 1665; Mary, 3 November 1666; Sarah, 19 March 1668; John, 11 October 1671; and Joseph, 6 November 1674.

His estate was insolvent. The widow married Thomas Overman, and his daughter Hannah married Josiah Willis. At the London custom-house the names of his family are Monnings.

ALEXANDER MUNROE, or ALEXANDER MONROE, whose place of residence in New England is not sure, had before May 1651, lawsuit in Massachusetts with Elias Parkman. See Colony record IV. part I. 52 and 114. probably he was a Scotch merchant transient, certainly not a prisoner sent here for sale.

He had second wife Prudence Estabrook, probably a widow, married December 1748, at Weston, and there died 6 April 1766.

DANIEL MUNROE, or DANIEL MONROE, Lexington, son of William Munroe, by wife Dorothy, had Daniel, born 27 January 1717; Jedediah, 20 May 1721; Sarah, 14 July, 1724; Dorothy, 21 Jun 1728; and John, 1731.

He was Lieutenant and had grant of land for service in the fight at Lamprey River 1690.

He died 7 January 1717, called 92 years old. It has been conjectured that he was a prisoner, taken by Cromwell at the decisive battle of Worcester 1651, shipped in November to be sold here, where the 272 unhappy men arrived in May following, but I see little reason for the conjecture except that Hugh, John, Robert, and another without baptized names, all Monrows, formed part of the sad freight. See Genealogical Registrar 378, 9. Of his daughters, Martha married 21 January 1688, John Come of Concord; Hannah married 21 December 1692, Joseph Pierce, as his second wife; Elizabeth married a Rugg; Mary married perhaps, a Farwell; Eleanor married 21 August 1707, William Burgess of Charlestown; and, Sarah married a Blanchard.

He died 1683, and in the division of his estate we find another child Elizabeth, wife of Richard Higginbotham. Hannah married 2 March 1667, Joseph Tuttle. Susan Munson, who came in the Elizabeth to Boston, 1634, aged 25, was, perhaps, his wife.

THOMAS MUNT, or THOMAS MOUNT, Boston 1635, mason. His wife Dorothy died 28 February 1640, and by wife Elinor, he had Faith, who died soon; and Faith, again, 24 April 1645; besides two more daughters whose names are not seen.

He is by Jackson, supposed to have come from Plymouth Colony and from his page we learn that the wife died 1727, that he had second wife Abigail, and died 1754, aged 89.

BRYAN MURPHY, Boston, an Irishman, married 20 July 1661, widow Margaret Mahone.

JABEZ MUSGROVE, a soldier under Captain Turner 1676, at Hatfield, shot by an Indians with a ball "in at his ear, and out at his eye,~ as told in Remark Providences of Increase Mather; may have come from Concord, for one Mary Musgrove died there, 25 December 1649, but in 1680 he was of Newbury.

MUSHAMORE, . . . ., Portsmouth 1677. Mary Mushamore, perhaps his daughter married 4 December of that year Christopher Kenniston.

JOHN MUSSELWHITE, Newbury, came in the James, 1635, from Southampton, call in the custom-house record of Longford, which is near Salisbury, Wiltshire, laborer, was first of Ipswich, freeman 22 May 1639, died 30 January 1671, leaving estate in Laverstock, close to Salisbury, to brothers Thomas, John, and sister Eda.

ABRAHAM MUSSEEY, or ABRAHAM MUZZEY, a passenger who took the oath of supremacy and allegiance to passage for New England 26 March 1634, in the John and Mary that year with John Musseey, perhaps his brother but no account is obtained of him.
