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.

PHILIP TABOR, or PHILIP TABER, Watertown, in 1634 subsribed towards building the galley for security of the harbour, and was made a freeman 14 May of that year, yet was one of the first settlers at Yarmouth, and member of the earliest assembly of Plymouth Colony in 1689 and 40 for Yarmouth, as Baylies I. 305 and 7, shows. But she was after at the Vineyard, and thence went 1651 to New London and in 1656 I find him among the freeman of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and not long after at Providence, of who he was Representative 1661. He lived later at Tiverton. Probably he was progenitor of a numerous race; though I find not how; but he had John, baptized at Barnstable, 8 November 1640; Philip; Thomas, February 1646; and Job, or Joseph. In the will of John Masters, of Cambridge, 1639, he names his daughter Lydia, who may well be thought wife of Philip, and he probably was father of Lydia, who became second wife 16 February 1665, of the first Pardon Tillinghast.

PHILIP TABOR, or PHILIP TABER, Dartmouth, son of the preceding, had Mary, born 28 January 1670; Sarah, 26 March 1671; Lydia, 28 September 1673; Philip, 29 February 1676; Abigail, 27 October 1678; Esther, 23 February 1681; John, 18 July 1684; and Bethia, 18 April 1689.

THOMAS TABOR, or THOMAS TABER, Dartmouth, son of the first Philip Tabor, by first wife of Reverend John Cooke of Dartmouth, the latest male survivor of passengers in the blessed Mayflower, had Thomas, born 22 October 1668; Esther, 17 April 1671; and by second wife Mary, married June 1675; who died 3 May 1734, had Lydia, 8 August 1673; Sarah, 28 January 1675; Mary, 18 March 1677; Joseph, 7 March 1679; John, 2 February 1681; Jacob, 2 July 1683; Jonathan, 22 September 1685; Bethia, 3 September 1687; Philip, 7 February 1689; and Abigail, 3 May 1693. He was Representative 1679 and 93, and died 11 November 1730.

ROBERT TAFFE, Mendon 1682, complained of as trading with Indians. Is probably the same, seen at Bristol, 1689, called Robert Taft, with wife and five children.

JOSIAH TAINER, or JOSIAH TAINNER (perhaps had different baptized name), Marblehead 1674, with ELIAS TAINER, or ELIAS TAINNER, and THOMAS TAINER, or THOMAS TAINNER, besides Elizabeth and Ann, and Joanna (of which however Elizabeth may be wife of one of the men, and the other female names of her children) are all named in the will, 9 October 1678, of the widow Ann Condy, who was, no doubt mother of Elizabeth and may have been grandmother of several of the others; and probably Josiah was father of another.

JOSIAH TAINER, or JOSIAH TAINNER, who married about 1706, Rebecca Dike, daughter of Richard Dike, as Babson, 256, tells. Among conjecture I venture one, that this is the true surname, given

TRINER TAINER, or TRINER TAINNER in an extraordinary paper, signed by many of the inhabitants of Marblehead. Genealogical Registrar VIII. 288

BENJAMIN TAINTOR, BENJAMIN TAYNTOR, or BENJAMIN TAINTER, Sudbury, son of Joseph Taintor, perhaps served in Philip's war 1675, and no more is heard him, but that, in 1691, he had wife Mary.

CHARLES TAINTOR, CHARLES TAYNTOR, or CHARLES TAINTER, Wethersfield 1643, removed to Fairfield, said by tradition to have come from Wales, with children Michael, Charles, Joseph, and Mary, and the same doubtful authority who takes care only of Michael, sends Charles the son to Virginia about 1656, and makes the father lost at sea 1654. Perhaps he had no son Charles, but was a merchant and may have been lost on coastal voyage, or in the ship of Captain Garrett, founder 1657. His daughter Mary married 27 November 1662, it is said, Thomas Pierson.

JOHN TAINTOR, JOHN TAYNTOR, or JOHN TAINTER, Branford, son of Michael Taintor the first, married Dorcas Swain, daughter of Daniel Swain, had no children and died September 1669; his widow married a Wheeler.

JONATHAN TAINTOR, JONATHAN TAYNTOR, or JONATHAN TAINTER, Watertown, son of Joseph Taintor of the same, married 6 December 1681, Elizabeth Warren, daughter of Daniel Warren, says Bond, had Jonathan, born 12 July 1682; Benjamin, 20 June 1685; Joseph, 25 May 1688; and Elizabeth, whose date of birth is not seen. His wife died 14 June 1692, and he had second wife 5 March 1703, Mary Randall, perhaps daughter of John Randall, and by her had Randall, born 21 January 1704, died next year; and Susanna, 30 May 1705 or 6. He died 1712; and his widow married John Tucker.

JOSEPH TAINTOR, JOSEPH TAYNTOR, or JOSEPH TAINTER, Watertown, came at the age of 25, embarked in the Confidence, at Southampton 24 April 1638, as servant of Nicholas Guy, who was of Upton, County Hants; married Mary Guy, daughter of Nicholas Guy, his fellow passenger, had Mary; Ann, born 2 September 1644, died probably before her father; Joseph, 2 September 1645, died unmarried 7 August 1728; Rebecca, 18 August 1647, died probably before her father; Benjamin, 22 January 1651; Jonathan, 10 September 1654; Sarah, 20 November 1657; Simon, 30 September 1660; and Dorothy, 13 August 1663. These were all living when their grandmother Guy made her will August 1666; and the father died 20 February 1690. His will, made two days before refers to each child. The widow died 1716, it is said, aged 86. Mary married a Pollard; Sarah married Elnathan Beers; and Dorothy married John Taylor.

MICHAEL TAINTOR, MICHAEL TAYNTOR, or MICHAEL TAINTER, Branford, an early settler perhaps son, more probably younger brother of Charles Taintor, for no single circumstance is known to prove there were two called Charles, was a trader, as Captain of Mr. Allerton's sketch, bound to Virginia November 1653, took from Evan Thomas an adventure on half profits; by wife Elizabeth, had John, born May 1650 Michael, October 1652; Elizabeth, June 1655, Joanna, April 1657; and Sarah, October 1658; was town clerk and probably drafted certainly recorded the liberal plantation and covenant, 1667, a freeman 1668, Representative 1670 and 2, as in Genealogical Registrar III. 153 is printed. His wife died July 1659. Elizabeth married Noah Rogers; Joanna married 30 June 1676, Josiah Gillet; and Sarah married I presume, 1 November 1683, Samuel Stone of Guilford.

MICHAEL TAINTOR, MICHAEL TAYNTOR, or MICHAEL TAINTER, Branford, son of the preceding, removed to Windsor, married 3 April 1679, Mary Loomis, daughter of Thomas Loomis, had Michael, born September 1680; John, October 1682; Mary, September 1685; Josep, November 1687; and by wife Mabel Olmstead, widow of Daniel Butler, daughter of Nicholas Olmstead, had Sarah, November 1698. He became one of the first settlers at Colchester, and was often its Representative, and died February 1730.

SIMON TAINTOR, SIMON TAYNTOR, or SIMON TAINTER, Watertown, youngest son of Joseph Taintor, married 9 May, according to Bond, but Tainter Genealogy 17, says, with less probably 9 August 1693; Joanna Stone, daughter of Deacon John Stone, had Simon, born 28 February 1694; Mary, 24 January 1696, died young; John, 13 March 1699; Rebecca, 26 May 1701, died young; Mary, 27 November 1703; and Dorothy, 20 May 1706. His wife died 3 December 1731, and he died 19 January 1739.

THOMAS TAINTOR, THOMAS TAYNTOR, or THOMAS TAINTER, of unknown residence, by wife Catherine, had Thomas, born 4 May 1639, and died 30 September following, as did his brother William Taintor; and sister Elizabeth Taintor died 24 April following.

JAMES TALBOT, Boston, by wife Martha Barstow, daughter probably of Michael Barstow of Charlestown, married 14 October 1663, had James, born 23 August 1664; Joseph, 21 September 1666; and William, 26 December 1668.

JARED TALBOT, or GARRETT TALBOT, Taunton married 1 April 1664, Sarah Andrews, probably daughter of Henry Andrews, had Jared, born 20 March 1667; Mary, 14 December 1671; Samuel, 29 February 1676; Josiah, 12 October 1678; and Nathan, 21 February 1681.

JARED TALBOT, Taunton, perhaps son of the preceding, married 4 May 1687, Rebecca Hathaway. Baylies IV. includes him there 1703.

JOSHUA TALBOT, Dorchester 1635. In support of this name, Farmer MS had cited Harris, 64, but there is no such person found in the town list.

MOSES TALBOT, Plymouth, was at Kennebeck trading house under command of John Howland, in April 1634, killed by an interloper trader from Portsmouth for attempting to cut his cable. The Portsmouth man was shot forthwith. Long agitation of the matter ensued, as may be seen in Winthrop I. 131; and very fully in Bradford's history 316-22.

WILLIAM TALBOT, Boston 1651, sailmaker, by wife Cicely, had Judith, born 4 July 1652 died young; Mary, 21 June 1655; and Joseph, 13 October 1657.

JOHN TALBY, or JOHN TOLBY, Salem 1635, had several children by wife Dorothy, who was hanged 6 December 1638, according to her sentence, two days before, for murder of her daughter. Difficulty, that had been baptized 25 December 1636. See Colony record I. 246 and Winthrop I. 279. She had been punished for beating and attempting to kill her husband and other children as well as hers, and Felt, II. 456, is satisfied that she was insane, and her husband was excommunicated for unnaturalness to her. Hutchinson I. 420. He died June 1645.

STEPHEN TALBY, or STEPHEN TOLBY, Boston 1662, a mariner, by wife Hannah, had Stephen, born 9 August 1663; Samuel, 9 January 1665; and John, 4 May 1671.

JOHN TALCOTT, JOHN TAILCOAT, or JOHN TAYLCOAT, Cambridge 1632 came that year in the Lion, embarked at London in June, arriving 16 September, is said to have been son of John Talcott of Braintree in County Essex (and the only son who survived that father in 1604, and a minor at that time, though he had five daughters then living) and to have married Dorothy Smith, daughter of Benjamin Smith, brought children John, Mary, and at Cambridge had Samuel Talcott, born about 1635, Harvard College 1658; was a freeman 6 November 1632, Representative at the first assembly in May 1634, and five following sessions including May 1636, soon after who he removed with Hooker and the great emigration to Hartford, where a petty tradition says his house was built in 1635; was Representative at the first Court in 1637, as also in every following year until 1654, when he was raised to be Assistant and one of the two commissioners of the New England colonies also made treasurer of the Colony until after the election in May 1659, and soon died. His widow lived 10 years more, and in the will of 22 September 1669, names children John, and Samuel only ; Mary, who married 28 June 1649, Reverend John Russell of Wethersfield, being, dead.

JOHN TALCOTT, JOHN TAILCOAT, or JOHN TAYLCOAT, Hartford son of the preceding, born in England, was Ensign 1650, and married 29 October of that year Helena Wakeman, or Ellen Wakeman, probably daughter of John Wakeman of New Haven, had John, born 4 November 1651 died soon; John, again, 14 December 1653, who died 30 July 1683, or 1684, without issue; Elizabeth, 21 February 1656; Samuel, 21 August 1658, died at 22 years; Mary, 26 April 1661 ; Hannah, 8 December 1663; Dorothy, 20 February 1667; Joseph, 16 November 1669; and Helena, 17 June 1674; his wife died days after, and he married 9 November 1676, Mary Cook, had Ruth, 12 September 1677; Sarah, 16 November 1679, died in 3 weeks; Rachel, 23 February 1682; Jonathan, 15 February 1684; and Hezekiah, 24, baptized 28 February 1686; and this youngest child settled at Durham. The father was a freeman 1652, Representative 1660, and became a Captain in 1661, was chosen treasurer of the Colony and an Assistant in which place he was contracted under the new church for unity of Connecticut and New Hampshire, chosen Commissioner at the Congregation of the New England Colonies 1669, 70, 1, 3, and 6; in Philip's war was much in service, a Colonel sometimes having command of all the Colony forces, and died 23 July 1688. Elizabeth married probably Joseph Wadsworth, who in his will speaks of brother Talcott's land; Mary married Richard Edwards, as his second wife, Hannah married Nathan Gould; Dorothy married 31 December 1691, the third Thomas Stoughton of Windsor, Helena married Cyprian Nichols of Hartford; Ruth married John Read, the great lawyer of Boston; Rachel married 21 March 1700, perhaps Peter, more probably Gershom Bulkley. Great confusion among family reports arises from the identity of names, as herein is shown. Two Rachel Talcotts married in adjacent towns, two Bulkleys, one of who was Peter, son of Gershom but who Rachel married this Peter, or which Bulkley married the elder of the cousins, Rachel Talcott who was child of the younger brother Talcott must be very carefully weighed. In my opinion geography is to be regarded as influential in some degree.

JOSEPH TALCOTT, JOSEPH TAILCOAT, or JOSEPH TAYLCOAT, Hartford; son of the second John Talcott, married Abigail Clarke of Milford, says Chapin's Glastonbury, 168, which may he doubted, though no partner is assigned. He had John, born 27 February 1699; Joseph, 17 February 1701; Nathan, 26 November 1702; Abigail, 13 April 1707; Eunice, 26 January 1709; Matthew; Samuel; Jerusha, 1717; Helena 1720; and his wife died 24 March 1724. He was chosen Governor of the Province in sixteen successful years beginning 1725.

SAMUEL TALCOTT, SAMUEL TAILCOAT, or SAMUEL TAYLCOAT, Wethersfield, younger son of the first John Talcott, a freeman 1662, married 7 November 1661, Hannah Holyoke, daughter of Elizur Holyoke of Springfield, had Samuel, born 1663; John, died young, but probably after his father; Hannah, 1665; Elizur, 31 July 1669; Joseph, 20 February 1672; Benjamin, 1 March 1674; Rachel, 2 April 1676; and Nathaniel, 28 January 1679; of who the first three were born at Hartford, not recorded, yet all named in his will; was Representative 1669-77. His wife died 2 February 1679, he took 2nd wife 6 August following Mary, but had no more children, and died 10 November 1691, leaving large estate. Hannah married 25 November 1686, John Chester the second; and Chapin says Rachel married 1700, Peter Bulkley, who may provoke inquiry that her husband was a grandson of the Reverend Peter Bulkley, may well be; and that his baptized name must make him son of Gershom is almost certain, for Peter, of Fairfield, son of the first Peter; was dead leaving son of the same name too young to be married in 1700; and Peter, son of Edward was dead without leaving a son of this name. But greater doubt in my mind is of the year to which this Rachel's married is postponed by him, though undoubtedly the Wethersfield record says "Mr. Peter Bulkley and Rachel Talcott were married 21 March 1699," i.e. 1700, N.S. My conjecture is that Samuel's Rachel had been married some years before to Gershom, son of the third Peter; and that John's Rachel, after her father's death and cousin Rachel's marriage had lived at her uncle Samuel's house, and there was marriage confusion of this with his brother and of him with his father is seen in the Index to the admirable Colony records of Trumbull. Eight of this name have been graduates at Yale.

RICHARD TALLEY, RICHARD TOLLEY, or RICHARD TAULLEY, Dorchester, married Sarah Blake, daughter of Edward Blake of Milton, and was one of the executors of his will. His wife died 5 August 1697, and he married 27 January following Elizabeth Grosse, and he died 8 December 1717, aged 66. But he had first been of Boston, and by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 16 April 1684, baptized 1 November 1685; Richard, 21 December 1685, whose baptism is not seen; and Abigail, 18, baptized 22 January 1688; besides Mary, baptized says the Old South record 5 May 1689; but these two are there called of Richard and Mary.

THOMAS TALLEY, THOMAS TOLLEY, or THOMAS TAULLEY, Boston, probably brother of the preceding, by wife Mary, had John, born 7 April 1678, perhaps died soon; Hannah, 16, baptized 18 April 1680; Jane 2, baptized 4 March 1682; and John, again, 21 June 1685, whose baptized is not seen at Old South Church.

ENOS TALMADGE, or ENOS TALMAGE, New Haven, married 9 May 1682, Hannah Yale, daughter of Thomas Yale, was a proprietor 1685. His widow married 14 November 1695, Samuel Bishop.

JOHN TALMADGE, or JOHN TALMAGE, New Haven, a proprietor 1685, married 18 November 1686, Abigail Bishop, daughter of Honorable James Bishop.

ROBERT TALMADGE, or ROBERT TALMAGE, New Haven, by wife Sarah Nash, daughter of Thomas Nash, had Abigail, baptized 13 May 1649; Thomas, b 17, baptized 20 October 1650; Sarah, baptized 19 September 1652; John, born 11, baptized 17 September 1654; Enoch, 4, baptized probably 5 October 1656; and Mary, about 2 September baptized probably 27 November 1659; as two or three of the days of baptisms in Genealogical Registrar IX. 362, are wrong, from the carelessness of the Deacon or other record officer. He died before 1685. Sarah married 18 March 1679, Samuel Hotchkiss.

THOMAS TALMADGE, or THOMAS TALMAGE, Boston, a freeman 14 May 1634, removed to Lynn 1637, and there probably had Thomas, besides other children and Lewis thinks, went to Easthampton, Long Island.

THOMAS TALMADGE, or THOMAS TALMAGE, Lynn, son of the preceding, perhaps born in England, removed 1650 to Long Island, was probably at Milford 1656, and married. That Lieutenant at New Haven 1685, who was killed at the surprise of Schenectady 8 February 1690 by the French and Indians,

WILLIAM TALMADGE, or WILLIAM TALMAGE, Boston, perhaps brother of Thomas Talmadge of the same, probably came in the fleet with Winthrop, stands in the list of our church number 59, was made a freeman 14 May 1643, though the clerk felt the name with a variance may have been dropped early to Roxbury church by acquaintence with Eliot, but on their church list it is marked that he went to Lynn with his wife. An Elizabeth Talmadge died at Lynn 20 December 1660.

WILLIAM TALMADGE, or WILLIAM TALMAGE, Boston, in that part called Muddy River, carpenter, married a daughter of John Peirce, and on the engagement of Peirce to support him and his two daughters. Talmadge made conveyance of his estate.

JAMES TALMAN, or JAMES TALLMAN, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, perhaps son of Peter Talman, married 18 March 1689, May Devoll, daughter of John Devoll, of the Niantick country, as the record at Portsmouth reads, had John, born 19 September 1692; Joseph, 13 July 1694; and Elizabeth, 13 June 1699. He next married 14 September 1701; Hannah Swain, daughter of John Swain of Nantucket, had Stephen, 30 June following; Mary, 26 June 1704; Peter, 17 June 1706; Jemima, 11 September 1708; James, 10 April 1710; Jeremiah, 25 September 1712; Silas, 10 September 1717; Joseph, 1 June 1720; and Hannah, 14 September 1723.

PETER TALMAN, or PETER TALLMAN, is in the list of a freeman at Newport 1655, probably had children, certainly Peter, by wife Ann, born 22 March 1658; among proprietors of Guilford 1685.

PETER TALMAN, or PETER TALLMAN, was son of the preceding, and with the title of Dr. married 7 November 1683, Ann Walstone, widow of John Walstone, though more likely it may seem to be his sister and had Elizabeth, born 22 June 1687; Ebenezer, 1 September 1692; and Peter, 13 November 1694, who died at 22 years; and died 28 July 1728. His widow died 1731.

GEORGE TANKERSLY, Boston, by wife Tabitha, had Sylvanus, born 24 September 1673, died soon; and Sylvanus, again, 17 September 1674.

NICHOLAS TANNER, Swanzey 1663, in 1666 of Rehoboth, was fined in 1667 as a Baptist, and in 69 had quiet as supporter in his tour of worship. He was town clerk afterwards.

GILBERT TAPLEY, Salem 1689, innholder, had wife Thomasine, and died 17 April 1714, aged 79 says Felt, first Ed. 546; but he meant perhaps 80; and his wife died 4 November 1715. By her he had Gilbert, born 26 August 1665; Joseph, 10 March 1668; and Mary, 4 April 1671. Joseph had, probably renewal of license in his father's place.

GILBERT TAPLEY, Salem, son of the preceding, married 10 April 1686, Lydia Small, daughter of Thomas Small, had Mary, born 4 November 1689; Joseph, 30 July 1692; Lydia, 10 March 1697; and Gilbert, 13 July 1699.

WILLIAM TAPLEY, Salem, son perhaps of John Tapley, married 7 March 1697 Elizabeth Cash, daughter of William Cash, had Elizabeth, born 15 1701; John, 4 February 1705; Mary, 1 March 1708; and William, 5 February 1711. Sometimes the spelling is Topley.

EDMUND TAPP, Milford 1639, one of the seven pillars at founding of the church 22 August in New Haven, that year may have been an Assistant of that Colony, though Mather certainly gives a false date to all the earliest. He died says Lambert, 1653. His will, which is lost, bore date 1 April 1653, and his inventory was taken 6 of the same month. Of his family we know little. His daughter Jane Tapp, who died 8 April 1703 (and had probably 35 years before less than the church assigned by tradition), was wife of November Robert Treat; but from the will of his widow 17 August 1673, shortly before her death we find two other daughters mentioned Ann, daughter of William Andrews, who had first been wife of William Gibbard, and Elizabeth, wife of John Nash. Besides this, she calls in that document William Fowler, her son-in-law, gives something to him and three daughters of his, termed by testament her cousin.

ABRAHAM TAPPAN, ABRAHAM TAPIN, ABRAHAM TAPPIN, ABRAHAM TOPPING, ABRAHAM TOPAN, or ABRAHAM TAPPING, Newbury 1637, a freeman; 2 May 1638, had married in England, Susanna Goodale of Yarmouth in County Norfolk. Had Peter, born 1634; perhaps Elizabeth, 16 October 1635, though Coffin. erronously gives it 30 years later, and on this side of the ocean, had, perhaps first, Isaac; Abraham, 1644; Jacob, 1645; Susanna, 13 June 1649; and John, 23 April 1651; and died November 1672, aged 64. His widow died 20 March 1689. I presume only part of Coffin's account was derived from authentic records. Elizabeth married 21 November 1657, Samuel Mighill of Rowley.

ABRAHAM TAPPAN, ABRAHAM TAPIN, ABRAHAM TAPPIN, ABRAHAM TOPPING, ABRAHAM TOPAN, or ABRAHAM TAPPING, Newbury, son of the preceding, married at Woodbridge, New Jersey, November 1670, Ruth Pike, daughter of John Pike, had perhaps one or more children born there, and at Newbury had Mary, born 25 October 1674; Hannah, 14 April 1677; and Joseph, 1681.

BARTHOLOMEW TAPPAN, BARTHOLOMEW TAPIN, BARTHOLOMEW TAPPIN, BARTHOLOMEW TOPPING, BARTHOLOMEW TOPAN, or BARTHOLOMEW TAPPING, Boston, a freeman 1671.

CHRISTOPHER TAPPAN, CHRISTOPHER TAPIN, CHRISTOPHER TAPPIN, CHRISTOPHER TOPPING, CHRISTOPHER TOPAN, or CHRISTOPHER TAPPING, Newbury, youngest son of Peter Tappan, ordained 9 September 1696, who in his Hecatompolis, Mather denies a Christian name, though he give it in his Collection Catalogue, married 13 December 1698, Sarah Angier, daughter of Edmund Angiuer of Cambridge, had Christopher, born 24 February 1700; Edmund Tappan, 7 December 1701, Harvard College 1720; and Bezaleel Tappan, 7 March 1705, Harvard College 1722; his wife died 20 February 1739, aged 63, and he died 23 July 1747, having for about four years suffered much in his mind by reason of the great division in religious sentiments then prevailing.

ISAAC TAPPAN, ISAAC TAPIN, ISAAC TAPPIN, ISAAC TOPPING, ISAAC TOPAN, or ISAAC TAPPING, Newbury, son of Abraham Tappan, married 19 September 1669, Hannah Kent, daughter of Stephen Kent, had Isaac, born 20 September 1673; Elizabeth, 25 January 1676; Jacob, 12 June 1678; David, 2 November 1680; John, 16 March 1683; Hannah, 23 December 1686. His wife died 10 December 1688; and he married 27 March 1691, Mary March, daughter possibly of Hugh March the first, had Mary, 17 November 1693; and Benjamin, 18 May 1695.

He was in May 1661 one of the three men appointed by the magistrate to make search for the regicides Whalley and Goffe; and their return on the preception after three days, was that they had made diligent search, and so easily satisfied the authorities. He was in 1667 propounded to be a freeman, but Middletown is lost in the list of 1669.

JOHN TAPPAN, JOHN TAPIN, JOHN TAPPIN, JOHN TOPPING, JOHN TOPAN, or JOHN TAPPING, Boston, feltmaker, or hatter, married 20 August 1654, Mary Woodmansey, daughter probably of Robert Woodmansey, had (if one must believe the record who I do not) John, born 31 May 1654; Joseph; and James, 4 July 1664, all baptized 17 July following; was a freeman 1665; was snubbed by our General Court in 1672 with others of his crew soliciting favor. He died 14 September 1678.

JONATHAN TAPPAN, JONATHAN TAPIN, JONATHAN TAPPIN, JONATHAN TOPPING, JONATHAN TOPAN, or JONATHAN TAPPING, Southampton, Long Island 1673, perhaps son of Thomas Tappan of Milford.

Had Peter, born December 1662, probably died young; Elizabeth, 13 October 1665; Peter, again, 22 December 1667; Samuel, 5 June 1670; Christopher Tappan, 15 December 1671, Harvard College1691; and Jane, 4 January 1674; was a physician, and died 3 November 1707.

PETER TAPPAN, PETER TAPIN, PETER TAPPIN, PETER TOPPING, PETER TOPAN, or PETER TAPPING, Newbury, son of the preceding, married 28 April 1696, Sarah Greenleaf, had Peter, and Timothy, perhaps born 2 February 1698; Jane, 24 January 1700; and Elizabeth, 25 April 1702.

RICHARD TAPPAN, RICHARD TAPIN, RICHARD TAPPIN, RICHARD TOPPING, RICHARD TOPAN, or RICHARD TAPPING, Boston 1632, with wife Judith, joined our church November 1633, and became a freeman 4 March after having Timothy, baptized 15 December following died soon. His wife died 1635; and by wife Alice, he had Joseph, born 30 September if the town record be followed, but the church record says, baptized 28 September 1645, about 4 days old, who died next month; and Joseph, again, baptized 11 June 1648. Alice joined the church 17 April 1647, and no more is learned of her or husband but that he was living 1654.

SAMUEL TAPPAN, SAMUEL TAPIN, SAMUEL TAPPIN, SAMUEL TOPPING, SAMUEL TOPAN, or SAMUEL TAPPING , Newbury, son of the first Peter Tappan, married 1702, Abigail Wigglesworth, daughter of Reverend Michael Wigglesworth of Malden, and had Samuel, born 24 November that year, but Coffin tells no more.

THOMAS TAPPAN, THOMAS TAPIN, THOMAS TAPPIN, THOMAS TOPPING, THOMAS TOPAN, or THOMAS TAPPING, Milford 1639, but earlier was of Wethersfield, and Representative 1639, joined the church of Milford with his wife Emma in 1640, had Elnathan, baptized 2 August of that year and James, 12 February 1643. In 1651, he was a Captain, and chosen Assistant and in that rank by an election, most of the next twelve years kept on account evidence of residing at Southampton, on Long Island. On 20 October 1666 a contract made at Milford for his marriage with Mary, widow of Timothy Baldwin, is by her reference to ten years later, when she was disposed of her probably in conforming with said contract to her children. He had, before June 1678, made Lydia, the widow of John Wilford, his wife and for the residual of his days lived at Branford, where 5 October 1686 he gave by deed to his sons Elnathan and James at Southampton all his lands at Southampton, to daughter Mary Quinny (or some such name) ten cows; to daughter Martha Herrick £10 in addition to what she had recorded to be paid by the son who when had the keeper of the cows also. His widow in October 1688, transacted with those sons, and died November 1694. Thirteen of his name had been graduates at Harvard, and two at Yale, 1845.

JOHN TAPPER, Boston, by wife Hannah, had John, born 11 July 1688, died young; Michael, 6 December 1692; Lydia, 26 January 1695; and John, again, 1 November 1697.

JOHN TARBELL, JOHN TARBOLE, or JOHN TARBALL, Salem, married 25 October 1678, Mary Nurse, daughter of that female victim of the saddest fanaticism and cruelty that ever raged in New England, had John, born 9 August 1680; Mary, 3 April 1688; Cornelius, 25 March 1690; Jonathan, 21 February 1692; Elizabeth, 22 March 1694; and Sarah, 2 October 1696, was a freeman 1690, lived at the village now Danvers, where he made much trouble to his minister poor Samuel Parris, for his witchcraft delusion.

THOMAS TARBELL, THOMAS TARBOLE, or THOMAS TARBALL, Watertown 1644, then bought land in that town, but lived in another, where he had Thomas, Abigail, and perhaps John; and at Watertown had Elizabeth, born 5 January 1657; William 26 February 1659; and removed to Groton, about 1663. When Groton was destroyed by the Indians he removed to Charlestown, there married 15 August 1676, Susanna, widow of John Lawrence, and died early in 1681. His widow joined the church 6 March of that year, and died says gravestone 5 January 1691.

THOMAS TARBELL, THOMAS TARBOLE, or THOMAS TARBALL, Groton, son of the preceding, married 30 June 1666, Ann Longley, daughter of the first William Longley, had Thomas, born 6 July 1667; Ann, 10 June 1670; William, 1 October 1672; and Mary, 2 April 1675; removed to Charlestown, on destruction of Groton by the Indians, and there his wife joined the church 28 October 1677, and he died 1678 of smallpox.

JOHN TARBOX, Lynn, may well seem an early settlement without given full faith to Farmer, who relied on Lewis, that he was there 1630; had Jonathan, who died 16 June 1654; Samuel born about 1647; and John, posthumous 20 July 1674; but the dates of births are not found; was engaged in the iron works, as a proprietor in small way, 1656, and died 26 May 1674. His will of 25 November preceding, mentioned two sons.

JOHN TARBOX, Lynn, son perhaps of the preceding, may have had by first wife, that John, who died 27 September 1661; and he married 4 July 1667, Mary Haven, daughter of Richard Haven of the same, who died 17 November 1690, had John, again, born 3 April 1668; Joseph, 4 March 1669, died at six months; Mary, 11 August 1670, died at 1 year; Sarah, 1 June 1672; Jonathan, 18 February 1676; Samuel, 5 February 1678, died in few days; Ebenezer, 4 January 1679; and Hannah, Mary, and Susanna, 14 October 1681; of which Susanna died in two weeks, and how long the other two lived is not told. Nor is it told with sufficient distinctness, that another John had Joseph, who died November 1674.

SAMUEL TARBOX, Lynn, brother of the preceding, married 14 November 1665, Rebecca Amitage, daughter of Joseph Amitage, had Samuel, born 20 June 1666; Jonathan, 3 July 1668; Godfrey, 16 August 1670; Rebecca, 8 or 18 August 1672; Sarah, 15 October 1674; and Mary, 21 February 1677, who died as did her mother next month and by second wife, had Experience, 10 September 1679; Joanna, 12 March 1681; and Thomas, 8 June 1684; possibly more.

RICHARD TARE, Boston, married Jane, widow of John Parker, as in the deed of herself and son Thomas Parker to Stephen Greenleaf of Newbury, October 1656, conveyed the Boston estate, she calls herself wife of Tare but of him this is all that I have gained.

ELIAS TARLTON, Portsmouth, son of Richard Tarlton, had Elias, born 1720, who Farmer says, lived to the age of 91.

HENRY TARLTON, Boston, a passenger 1671, in the Arabella from London, of who no more is known but that by wife Mary, he had Robert, born 6 October 1678, and that his wife died 11 October following aged 22; and he married 25 September following Deborah Cushing, daughter of Daniel Cushing of Hingham, and died 12 September 1680, aged 31. His widow married 31 August 1686, Reverend Benjamin Woodbridge of Bristol. The name on Hingham record is perverted to Tolton; and Mitchell's Bridgewater, 367, made the Woodbridge minister 1679.

RICHARD TARLTON, Portsmouth, by wife Ruth, had Elias, born 13 August 1693, besides William, Richard, and Ruth, of which one or more may have been born earlier.

MILES TARNE, MILES TERNEY, or MILES TARNEY, Boston 1638, leather-dresser, had wife Sarah, who joined our church 14 April 1639; but he was not removed before 8 October 1642, and a freeman 10 May following. Of children I know only Hannah, born October 1638, baptized 21 April following, named in the will of Thomas Oliver, March 1652, with bequeth of £5; and Deliverance, baptized 19 September 1641, eight days old, when the town record says she was born 30 of that month, but that Sarah who married 7 September 1654, Edward Bobbet of Taunton, must have been older, perhaps brought from England. He had 2nd wife in October 1668, Elizabeth, who had been widow Rice, as I infer from deed of mortgage to trusting of the first child by Michael (who is the same as Miles) Tarne and Elizabeth, his wife and Joshua Rice, their son.

BENJAMIN TARR, Gloucester, son of Richard Tarr, married 4 February 1724, Rebecca Card, widow of William the second, had Benjamin, born about 1727, perhaps more.

CALEB TARR, Gloucester, brother of the preceding, had wife Martha, and twelve children of who Caleb only is named by Babson; and died about 1752.

GEORGE TARR, Lynn, probably brought wife and children when he came, for in his will of 1 July 1662, probated November following, he names sons John, Lazarus, and Benjamin, as men, besides Joseph, as under age, and daughters May, Martha, Elizabeth, and Sarah; yet, as nothing had before been known of him, I presume that he had not many years been an inhabitant.

JOHN TARR, Dover 1648, taxed there that year as Genealogical Registrar VIII. 130 gives it, though in Genealogical Registrar IV. 31, the name is Tart. He was of Maine, grand jury 1649.

JOSEPH TARR, Gloucester, son of Richard Tarr the first, married 28 July 1719, Sarah Sargent, had Abigail, Joseph, Benjamin, and Nathaniel, and removed to Maine.

RICHARD TARR, Gloucester, had been, 1680, at Marblehead, there married, and had William and John, but was attracted about 1690, by the commodation situation of that part of the cape, called Sandy Bay, now Rockport, and was one of its earliest settlers. Had Elizabeth, born 1691; Honour, 1693; Richard, 1695; Joseph, 1698; Benjamin, 1700; Caleb, 1703; Samuel, 1706; and Sarah, 1716. He was, of course, a fisherman, and is thought to have been killed by the Indians off Penobscot 1724.

RICHARD TARR, Gloucester, son of the preceding, married 20 February 1722, Grace Hodgkins, as Babson says, had Hazelelponi, born that year; and William, 1724.

SAMUEL TARR, Gloucester, youngest son of Richard Tarr of the same, married 12 October 1726, Elizabeth William, had four sons, but was drowned at Sheepscot river 1739.

WILLIAM TARR, Gloucester, eldest brother of the preceding, married 1708, Elizabeth Felt, had several children of who Babson does not give names.

EDWARD TART, Scituate, named as his servant in the will of Nathaniel Tilden, and in 1643, servant of Joseph Tilden, son of Nathaniel Tart.

THOMAS TART, Scituate 1640, had, as Deane thought, daughter Elizabeth, who married 1638, Thomas, Williams of Boston; and at Boston, had Jonathan, and Eunice, baptized 11 April 1641; but he removed to Barbados.

SAMUEL TASKER, or SAMUEL TASKET, Dover, was probably son of the preceding, and in June 1704 mortally wounded by the Indians.

JABEZ TATMAN, or JABEZ TOTMAN, Roxbury, son of John Tatman, married 18 November 1668, Deborah Turner, perhaps daughter of John Turner, who died 31 May or 1 June 1689, the town record given both days, had Elizabeth, born 9 December 1675, died at 3 years; Sarah, 9 November 1683, died June following; John, 13 October 1685; and he died 16 April 1705.

JOHN TATMAN, or JOHN TOTMAN, Roxbury, came in the Lion, embarked June, arriving 16 September 1632, with wife, was a freeman 2 May 1638, had Jabez, born 19 November 1641, of whose baptism we know not, because the record before 26 December of that year is lost; and died 28 October 1670. He had indulged in 1639, from the General Court for living more than half a mile from the church. His will of 30 September 1670 takes notice of nobody but son Jabez, to who he gives all his property. The name is Totman, in the London record.

THOMAS TAWLEY, Boston, by wife Mary, had John, born 7 April 1678; Hannah, 16 April 1680; and Jane, 2 March 1682. At Salem, in 1682, the name of John Tawley occurs, and thither, I think, the Boston man removed.

HENRY TAY, or HENRY TOY, Ipswich, died about 1655; and no more is known to Felt.

ISAIAH TAY, or ISAIAH TOY, Boston, son of William Tay of the same, served in Philip's war, was Representative in 1700, and often after.

JEREMIAH TAY, or JEREMIAH TOY, Boston, brother of the preceding, by wife Mercy, had Jeremiah, born 19 January 1685, died young; Woodward, 12 February 1687; William, 16 June 1689; Jeremiah, again, 30 October 1693; Isaiah, 5 September 1696; and Mercy, 5 July 1703.

JOHN TAY, or JOHN TOY, Boston, had been here but short time when he made his will, which is one of the first three in our volume I, probated 7 December 1641, refers to son Allen Tay in England, who probably never came. He was, I judge, a trader, as he speaks of goods remaining besides bequeaths of money and especially of trees, no doubt fruit trees, as in Genealogical Registrar II. 104, may be read.

NATHANIEL TAY, or NATHANIEL TOY, Billerica 1679, brother of the preceding, married 30 May 1677, Bathsheba Wyman, daughter of John Wyman.

WILLIAM TAY, or WILLIAM TOY, Boston, in July 1643, gave Leonard Buttels two acres on Long Island, and recorded from him 20 acres in Muddy River and in mid life was distiller, married 14 September 1644, Grace Newell, daughter of Abraham Newell, at Roxbury, had Grace, born 23 August 1645; John, baptized at Boston 21 November 1647, being 5 days old; Isaiah, 4, baptized 10 March 1650; Abiel, 21, baptized 23 January 1653; Nathaniel, 23, baptized Peter on 25 (if the church record is good) February 1655; Jeremiah, 18, baptized 19 July 1657; and Elizabeth, 25 June, baptized 1 July 1660; had estate Billerica 1659, lived there few years, and one year was town clerk, was a freeman 1663, not as Farmer made it 1650, with a supposide son of the same name. His will, of 28 April 1680, probated 12 April 1683, calls himself 72 years old, makes wife Grace sole executor, gives Jeremiah and Elizabeth the ground "that the house was burnt on," in the fire of 1679, I suppose; but they are charged to pay £10 to his granddaughter Elizabeth Tay at age of 18, or married "that is my eldest son's daughter" and of estate at Billerica devises housing to Nathaniel, some to daughter Grace Meade of Billerica, whose husband is not of my acquaintance and some to son Isiah, besides some in Boston. The widow died at Roxbury 11 April 1712, aged 91 years. His eldest son, father of Elizabeth whose mother's name is not within my guess, was deceased as may be inferred.

ABRAHAM TAYLOR, ABRAHAM TAYLOUR, or ABRAHAM TAILER, Haverhill, in his will of 1673 names wife Hannah.

ABRAHAM TAYLOR, ABRAHAM TAYLOUR, or ABRAHAM TAILER, Concord, a freeman 1690.

ANTHONY TAYLOR, ANTHONY TAYLOUR, or ANTHONY TAILER, Hampton 1644, feltmaker, removed to Dover, there was 1671; and is said to have died 4 November 1687, aged 80; but in 1678 one Anthony, perhaps his son, swore allegiance and certainly had son John, and tradition gives him Lydia, who married 23 March 1666, John Moulton, besides Martha, who married 25 September 1667, Hezron Leavitt.

CLEMENT TAYLOR, CLEMENT TAYLOUR, or CLEMENT TAILER, Dorchester, owes his being to Farmer under introduction of Harris, the creation being due in the highest probably to the same bad writing or ill read, as made Tapley out of Topliff.

EDWARD TAYLOR, EDWARD TAYLOUR, or EDWARD TAILER, Lynn 1639, a freeman 1648, removed to Reading, and died 1694.

EDWARD TAYLOR, EDWARD TAYLOUR, or EDWARD TAILER, Providence, by wife Hannah, had Edward, born 8 October 1655.

His wife died November 1701, and he died 15 February 1705.

EDWARD TAYLOR, EDWARD TAYLOUR, or EDWARD TAILER, Westfield, born 1642, at Sketchley County Leicester, near Hinckley, (no Sketelby, as Farmer probably from some descend, had given and as reverently repeated in Genealogical Registrar II. 395) came 1668, arriving at Boston 5 July, and was graduate at Harvard College 1671, and late in that year went by invitation to Westfield a new plantation, married 5 September 1674, Elizabeth Fitch, daughter of Reverend James Fitch of Norwich, had Samuel, born 1675; Elizabeth, 1676, died soon; James, 1678, Abigail, 1681, died young; Bathsheba, 1683; Elizabeth again, 1684, died soon; Mary, 1686, died young; and Hezekiah, 1687, died young. His wife died 1689, and he married 2 June 1692, Ruth Wyllys, daughter of Honorable Samuel Wyllys, had Ruth, born 1693; Naomi, 1695; Ann, 1696; Mehitable, 1699; Keziah, 1702; and Eldad, 1708. He had preached some years there before he was ordained 27 August 1679, was a freeman 1678, or 1680, for his name is in both lists, and died 29 June 1729. His widow died January following. Bathshua or Bathsheba married 18 February 1702, John Pynchon; Ruth married 1713, Reverend Benjamin Cotton; Naomi married 1720, Reverend Ebenezer Devotion; Ann married 1720, Reverend Benjamin Lord; Mehitable married Reverend William Gager; and Keziah married Reverend Isaac Stiles, and was mother of President Stiles.

ELDAD TAYLOR, ELDAD TAYLOUR, or ELDAD TAILER, Westfield, youngest son of the preceding, married 1732, Rhoda Dewey, had Eldad, born 1733; Rhoda, 1735, died young; Mehitable, 1736; and Rachel, 1740, when her mother died, and she died soon.

FRANCIS TAYLOR, FRANCIS TAYLOUR, or FRANCIS TAILER, Dedham 1671, a surveyor.

GEORGE TAYLOR, GEORGE TAYLOUR, or GEORGE TAILER, Lynn, came in the Truelove, late in 1635, aged 31, a freeman 2 May 1638, may be the man who became insane, there, 1640, as Winthrop II. 21 tells; yet he probably was in short time restored for in November 1663, his neighbor Rootens made him one of the overseers of his will; and died 28 December 1667.

GEORGE TAYLOR, GEORGE TAYLOUR, or GEORGE TAILER, Scarborough, submitted to Massachusetts jurisdiction July 1658, had been there from 1636, and was living 1681.

GREGORY TAYLOR, GREGORY TAYLOUR, or GREGORY TAILER, Watertown, an original proprietor, freeman 14 May 1634, constable 1642, by wife Achsa, says Bond, had Samuel, born April 1632, died soon; and another son 11 March 1643, to who Bond, 601, gives a name, Seabred, that must be read wrong, in my opinion at least it is wrong as son of Gregory, if right of Thomas. He soon after sold his lands and is found at Stamford to die 24 September 1657. His wife died 18 August 1667, and no heir appeared to take the little property, the Court allowed it to John Waterbury and his wife.

JAMES TAYLOR, JAMES TAYLOUR, or JAMES TAILER, Concord, married 1641, Isabel Tompkins, or Elizabeth Tompkins, had, says Shattuck, several children of which by my inquiry I know only Samuel, born 21 June 1656; Thomas, 12 July 1659, died in few months and he perhaps removed to Marlborough before 1675, and may have been by the Indians hostility, driven in to Cambridge, there by wife Sarah, had William, born 21 August 1676; perhaps went again to Concord, there died 22 January 1690.

JAMES TAYLOR, JAMES TAYLOUR, or JAMES TAILER, New Haven, a proprietor 1685, of which no more is heard.

JAMES TAYLOR, JAMES TAYLOUR, or JAMES TAILER, Reading, may have been that surveyor, much employed in 1671 and 2, died at Reading 1703.

JAMES TAYLOR, JAMES TAYLOUR, or JAMES TAILER, Boston, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 24 October 1674; perhaps is the same who by wife Rebecca, had Samuel, 5 December 1687; Abigail, 2 Aug; 1690; Ann, 13 November 1692; Sarah, 19 May 1695; William, 19 June 1696; Mercy, 13 November 1700; and Mary, 15 July 1702; and probably also, was Representative 1689, 93 and 4.

JOHN TAYLOR, JOHN TAYLOUR, or JOHN TAILER, Windsor 1640, but is not known to have ever been at Dorchester, was in esteem 1644, and no later is any mention found, so that he may have had wife and children and removed to some uncertain place. A Rhoda Taylor at Windsor 1659, had seat in the meeting house and may be thought his widow or child. An Amos Taylor died at Windsor, 1644; and Hannah Taylor died there 1650, who may have been his children or possibly of Stephen Taylor.

JOHN TAYLOR, JOHN TAYLOUR, or JOHN TAILER, Ipswich, a soldier, killed in the great battle with Philip, 19 December 1675.

JOHN TAYLOR, JOHN TAYLOUR, or JOHN TAILER, Salem 1671, a joiner, may have been son of Richard Taylor of Boston, and removed to Boston, there by wife Rebecca, had John, born 22 November 1674; William, 21 May 1676; and Elizabeth, 1680; but I discover nothing more.

JOHN TAYLOR, JOHN TAYLOUR, or JOHN TAILER, Hampton, took the oath of allegiance 25 April 1678; and later in the same year another

JOHN TAYLOR, JOHN TAYLOUR, or JOHN TAILER of Hampton was equally patriot. One of the two, I suppose, by wife Deborah, had Mary, born 3 May 1687.

JOHN TAYLOR, JOHN TAYLOUR, or JOHN TAILER, Hadley, married 12 December 1666, Mary Selden, daughter of the first Thomas Selden, swore allegiance 8 February 1679, as did John Taylor of Northampton on the same day, and this latter better kept his word in becoming a freeman 1683. He may have been son of John Taylor of Windsor, and certainly married 18 December 1662, Thankful Woodward, daughter of Henry Woodward, had Thankful, born 29 October 1663; Joanna, 27 September 1665; John, 10 October 1667; Rhoda, 26 September 1669; Elizabeth, 13 January 1672, died at 9 years; Mary, 13 October 1673; Jonathan, 19 September 1675; Mindwell, 19 August 1677; Lydia, 18 March 1679; Thomas, 4 November 1680; Elizabeth again, 17 September 1682; Experience, October 1684; and Samuel, 30 August 1688; was a very valuable citizen, Captain of the troop of Hampshire, killed by the Indians 13 May 1704, then in pursuit of them after their destruction of Pascomuck. The widow lived with son John at Norwalk 1724. But of the Hadley John my account is equally good; as that he had Esther, born 9 December 1667; John, 6 January 1670; Thomas, 5 June 1672; Stephen, 1674; Mary, 12 October 1676, died young; Thankful, 1680; Jacob, 1685; Samuel, 3 December 1688; and Ebenezer, 1 March 1697.

JOHN TAYLOR, JOHN TAYLOUR, or JOHN TAILER, Suffield, son of Stephen Taylor the first, married 25 September 1682, Sarah Younglove, daughter of John Younglove, had Benoni, born 15 June 1683, died in few days, as had the mother in four days. He married again, 24 March 1686, Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of Thomas Spencer of Suffield, and had John, 17 January 1687; Nathaniel, 20 May 1688; removed to Windsor, and had Samuel, 11 April 1691; Elizabeth, 11 November 1694; and Ebenezer, 11 September 1697; as Stiles, in history of Windsor 812, gives the last three suspicious days. The time of the death is unknown.

JOHN TAYLOR, T JOHN AYLOUR, or JOHN TAILER, Charlestown, by wife Catharine, had Richard, aged 3, and John, 1, when both were baptized 6 October 1689; Thomas, 24 July 1692; Catharine, 18 November 1694; and Sarah, 31 January 1697.

His wife died 9 September 1683; and he died in few weeks after at Suffield, probably on visit to his son. He took oath of allegiance 31 December 1678, or the next day, as did, also, Jonathan his son, who married 11 July preceding, Sarah Brooks, daughter of William Brooks of Springfield, had born at Suffield, Sarah, 23 January 1682; Mary, 3 May 1684; and Mercy, 6 September 1686; and perhaps more. He was Deacon at Suffield.

JOSEPH TAYLOR, JOSEPH TAYLOUR, or JOSEPH TAILER, Fairfield, sold land there 1667.

JOSEPH TAYLOR, JOSEPH TAYLOUR, or JOSEPH TAILER, Southampton, Long Island, son of John Taylor of Cambridge, was sometimes fellow of the College, ordained March 1680, as successor to Reverend Robert Fordham, had lived at New Haven, where was born his son John, 5 October 1678; may have had wife of that place; and died 4 April 1682, leaving John, and Joseph, who sold in 1702 the estate at Cambridge of their grandfather.

JOSEPH TAYLOR, JOSEPH TAYLOUR, or JOSEPH TAILER, Exeter, swore allegiance November 1677.

JOSEPH TAYLOR, JOSEPH TAYLOUR, or JOSEPH TAILER, Marshfield, youngest son of Richard Taylor of Yarmouth, married 25 April 1684, Experience Williams..

NATHANIEL TAYLOR, NATHANIEL TAYLOUR, or NATHANIEL TAILER, Windsor, married 17 October 1678, Abigail Bissell, daughter of Thomas Bissell, had Hezekiah, born 23 August 1679.

PHILIP TAYLOR, PHILIP TAYLOUR, or PHILIP TAILER, a freeman of Massachusetts 18 May 1642, may have been brother of Richard Taylor, who in the list stands next before him, but I am not able to say more, than that he was of another church than that of Boston.

RICHARD TAYLOR, RICHARD TAYLOUR, or RICHARD TAILER, Boston, brother perhaps of the preceding, joined our church 1 January 1642, then "a single man and a tailor," was administered a freeman 18 May following, by wife Mary, had John, born 2, baptized 6 February 1647; died 1673. His will of 30 July probated 2 August of that year names no children but John Taylor, sister Joan Taylor in England, and wife Elizabeth .

RICHARD TAYLOR, RICHARD TAYLOUR, or RICHARD TAILER, Charlestown, but a member of some other church when administered a freeman 18 May 1642, the same day with Boston Richard, died 10 July 1659, of who I learn nothing but from his will, made 6 May before, that his wife was Ann, and he had daughter Frances Adams.

RICHARD TAYLOR, RICHARD TAYLOUR, or RICHARD TAILER, Yarmouth 1643, married says the family tradition a Burgess, perhaps daughter of Thomas, whose daughter Ruth, also, married another Richard Taylor. His wife was drowned 4 December 1673, and he died next year, leaving two sons, six daughters: John; Joseph; Mary; Martha, born 18 December 1650; Elizabeth; Ann, buried 29 March 1650 aged a year and a half; Hannah, and Sarah, of who this last died unmarried 3 July 1695; Mary married a Merchant; Martha married 3 December 1675, Joseph Bearse; Ann married 25 June 1679, Josiah Davis; Hannah married 19 July 1680, Job Crocker; and Elizabeth married 20 December 1680, Samuel Cobb.

RICHARD TAYLOR, RICHARD TAYLOUR, or RICHARD TAILER, Yarmouth, farmer, called, says tradition Rock Richard, from his first building his cottage against a rock, married about 1646, Ruth Burgess, perhaps daughter of Thomas Burgess, had Ruth, born 29 July 1647, buried next year; Ann, 2 December 1648; Ruth, again, 11 April 1650; Richard, 9 January 1652; Mehitable, 23 July 1654; Keziah, 18 February 1656; Joshua, 9 May 1659; Hannah, 17 September 1661; Elisha, 10 February 1664; and Mary, 12 June 1667; his wife died 22 June 1693, and he died 1 August 1703.

RICHARD TAYLOR, RICHARD TAYLOUR, or RICHARD TAILER, Charlestown, by wife Ann, who joined the church 17 September 1665, had Sarah, baptized on Sunday following; Ann, 12 January 1667; perhaps Thomas, 16 April 1670; Richard, 16 November 1673; and Alice, 2 April 1676, was one of the tything men 1679.

RICHARD TAYLOR, RICHARD TAYLOUR, or RICHARD TAILER, Yarmouth, son of the second Richard Taylor of the same, served in the war against Philip, had Isaac, Joshua, Nathan, Ebenezer, and two daughters.

ROBERT TAYLOR, ROBERT TAYLOUR, or ROBERT TAILER, Newport, found by Dr. Stiles in the list of a freeman 1655, married November 1646, Mary Hodges, whose father is not found by me, had Mary, born November 1647; Ann, 10 February 1650; Margaret, 30 January 1652; Robert, October 1653; John, June 1657; and Peter, July 1661.

ROBERT TAYLOR, ROBERT TAYLOUR, or ROBERT TAILER, Boston, by wife Sarah, had James, born 17 January 1661.

SAMUEL TAYLOR, SAMUEL TAYLOUR, or SAMUEL TAILER, Ipswich 1648, had been mentioned 1638, but never with indication of a family. No wife or children is heard of, when at the age of 81 his will was probated 29 June 1695, in which his house and land are devised to Samuel Treadwell, perhaps a cousin as he calls Thomas, and Nathaniel Treadwell, Thomas, and Seaborn Wilsom, Mary Gains, Esther Hovey, and Martha Cross.

SAMUEL TAYLOR, SAMUEL TAYLOUR, or T SAMUEL AILER, Windsor, had, as Parsons in Genealogical Registrar V. 365, quotes record, daughter Martha, who at the age of 20, married 30 October 1679, Josiah Ellsworth. But his is a sad mistake of Taylor for Gaylord.

SAMUEL TAYLOR, SAMUEL TAYLOUR, or SAMUEL TAILER, Springfield, who swore allegiance there 31 December 1678, or next day, maybe son of Stephen Taylor of Windsor, was a blacksmith at Westfield, by wife Mary, had a child born 3 May 1672, died in few days; Mary, 14 December 1673, died young; Mary, again, 1675, died young; Samuel, 1677, died young; a son 30 September 1679, died in few weeks; Joseph, 1 May 1681, died young; Elizabeth, 10 March 1683, died soon; Elizabeth again, 27 July 1684; Mary, again, 3 March 1687; Sarah, 8 October 1689; Hannah, 25 August 1692; and Joseph, again, 4 March 1694; besides another daughter Mercy, in his will of 1723, named as deceased, leaving children Mercy and Mabel Buck. This list varies slightly from that in Genealogical Registrar VI. 266, but seems to me of authority. His will names only son Joseph, daughters Mary Bush, Elizabeth Phelps, and Hannah Loomis, besides that Mercy, and Sarah, who had married one of the innumerable tribe of Williams, was deceased leaving only child Sarah.

SAMUEL TAYLOR, SAMUEL TAYLOUR, or SAMUEL TAILER, Wethersfield, son of William of the same, by wife Sarah, married 1679, had Sarah, born 1680; William, 1683; Mary, 1685; John, 1688; Margaret, 1693; and Mabel, 1695,

SAMUEL TAYLOR, SAMUEL TAYLOUR, or T SAMUEL AILER, Springfield, son of Jonathan Taylor of the same, married 24 June 1675, Ruth Cogan, had Rebecca, born 4 July 1676; Ruth, 18 August 1678, died at six years; Ann, 17 August 1680; Mary, 1682; removed to Suffield, there had Martha, 12 February 1684; Ruth, 8 April 1686; and Thankful, 19 May 1688; and he died 7 September 1689, leaving widow Ruth and the six children.

SAMUEL TAYLOR, SAMUEL TAYLOUR, or SAMUEL TAILER, Westfield, son of Reverend Edward Taylor, married 1704, Margaret Mosely, had Elizabeth, born 1705; and Margaret, 1707, died the same year. His wife died 1708, and he died next year.

SEABRED TAYLOR, SEABRED TAYLOUR, or SEABRED TAILER, Reading, son of Thomas Taylor of Watertown, married 22 November 1671, Mary Harrington, daughter of Richard Harrington, was a freeman 1677, against who I hardly suppose that Farmer designed any imputance when he calls him Sinbred.

STEPHEN TAYLOR, STEPHEN TAYLOUR, or STEPHEN TAILER, Windsor, perhaps brother of the first John Taylor of the same, married 1 November 1642, Sarah Hosford, daughter of Reverend William Hosford, had Stephen, born 11 March 1644; Samuel, 8 October 1647; and by second wife married 25 October 1649, Elizabeth Newell, had John, 22 March 1652; Thomas, 5 October 1655; Abigail, 19 March 1657; Mary, 18 June 1661; Mindwell, 5 November 1663; and Nathaniel, 24 May 1668, died at 14 years; was in the list of a freeman October 1669. He died 1 September 1668, and his widow died 5 August following, according to one Representative but Stiles says, 14 December 1717. He called himself 66 years old in 1684.

STEPHEN TAYLOR, STEPHEN TAYLOUR, or STEPHEN TAILER, Hadley, married at Hartford, Sarah White, daughter of John White, had only child Stephen, and died 7 September 1665. His widow married 15 October 1666, Barnabas Hindsdale, who was killed by the Indians 18 September 1675; and she had third husband February 1679, Walter Hickson. He may have been son of John Taylor of Hartford, but whence he came, is uncertain.

STEPHEN TAYLOR, STEPHEN TAYLOUR, or STEPHEN TAILER, Boston, by wife Hannah, had Hannah, born 2 July 1668.

STEPHEN TAYLOR, STEPHEN TAYLOUR, or STEPHEN TAILER, Suffield, son of the first Stephen Taylor, married 8 November 1676, Joanna Porter of Farmington, probably daughter of Thomas Porter, had Sarah, born 16 July 1679; Joanna, 28 March 1682; removed to Windsor, had there Stephen, 9 May 1685; Stephen, again, 8 May 1688; William, 14 March 1689; and perhaps others, and died 3 August 1707.

THOMAS TAYLOR, THOMAS TAYLOUR, or THOMAS TAILER, Watertown, 1642, by wife Elizabeth, had Seabred, born 11 March 1643; removed to Reading, and died 1690.

THOMAS TAYLOR, THOMAS TAYLOUR, or THOMAS TAILER, Norwalk 1666, married 14 February 1668, Rebecca Ketchum, daughter of Edward Ketchum, had Thomas, born 26 November 1668; Deborah, June 1671; and probably others, for the name was long continued in that town, where he was a freeman 1670, but he removed to Danbury, as one of the early settlers.

THOMAS TAYLOR, THOMAS TAYLOUR, or THOMAS TAILER, Suffield, perhaps son of the first Stephen Taylor, married 15 June 1678, Abigail Roe, daughter of Hugh Roe, had Elizabeth, born 24 July 1679, Abigail, 6 September 1681; Nathaniel, 24 August 1684, died next year; Mabel, 1 December 1685. His wife died about 13 October 1691, and he married Hannah Granger, daughter of Lancelot Granger, had Jerusha, 1697; Hannah, 1699; Keziah, 1704; and Dorothy, 1710. His wife died 1729, and he died 1740. The father of his first wife in leaving her a legacy by his will, declared that "Thomas Taylor shall have nothing to do with it," and that was caused by his ill conduct.

THOMAS TAYLOR, THOMAS TAYLOUR, or THOMAS TAILER, Springfield, son of Jonathan Taylor of the same, married 29 December 1687, Mary Petty, daughter of John Petty, had Hannah, born 18 August 1690; and died at Springfield April 1691.

WILLIAM TAYLOR, TAYLOUR, or TAILER, Wethersfield, by wife Mary, had Samuel, born 1647, perhaps died soon; John, 1649; Sarah; another Samuel; Mary, 1654; William, 1659; Margaret, 1663; Jonathan, 1666; and the seven children were living 1720.

WILLIAM TAYLOR, WILLIAM TAYLOUR, or WILLIAM TAILER, New London, known there, says Caulkins, only 1650 to 3, perhaps was not the freeman 1669 of Wethersfield.

WILLIAM TAYLOR, WILLIAM TAYLOUR, or WILLIAM TAILER, Concord, married Mary Meriam, perhaps daughter of Joseph Meriam, had John, born 19 October 1653; Samuel, 3 July 1655, died in few days; Abraham, 14 November 1656; Isaac, 1659; Jacob, 8 May, 1662; Joseph, 1665; and Mary; and Shattuck says, he died 6 December 1696.

WILLIAM TAYLOR, WILLIAM TAYLOUR, or WILLIAM TAILER, Boston, merchant, by wife Rebecca, had Elizabeth, born 17 May 1667; and Thomas, 18 February 1674; was much distinguished for active enterprise but fell into melancholy, and died by his own hand 12 July 1682. See Russell's Diary in Genealogical Registrar VII. 53 and Bradstreet's in I born VIII. 332 or IX. 50.

WILLIAM TAYLOR, WILLIAM TAYLOUR, or WILLIAM TAILER, Scituate, brother of Isaac Taylor of the same, and elder, as Deane thought, had Lydia, born 1688; Elizabeth, 1692; and Mary, 1696. Of his name I see 20 graduates at Yale, and 15 at Harvard.

JOHN TEAD, JOHN TEED, or JOHN TED, Charlestown 1637, embarked 12 May of that year at Yarmouth, aged 19, as servant of Samuel Greenfield of Norwich, but perhaps was not desired by his master of accompaning him, after reaching this side of the ocean, if, as seems probably he be the person called Todd, in Frothingham, page 88, may have removed after 1640 to Woburn, there was one of the true-spirited petioners to the General Court 30 August 1653 in favor of liberty of prophets, had wife Margaret, who died 1651, and he died 24 April 1657. By his will made 15 days before, we find he had second wife Alice, and daughters Mary, and Elizabeth, besides grandchildren Benjamin, Hannah, and another daughter of one Savil; and John and Samuel Savil, of another Thomas Fuller, and John Kendall, also a son of his own name. See Tidd. Yet one of this name was propounded for a freeman in 1664, though no more heard of. See 4 Massachusetts history Collection I. 101, and Geneal, Reg. XIV. 328.

JOSHUA TEAD, JOSHUA TEED, or JOSHUA TED, Charlestown 1637, perhaps brother of the preceding, was administered of the church 10 March 1639, and a freeman 22 May following, and his wife Sarah joined the church 9 September after. By the town record they had John, born 15 June 1641; and Joseph, 15 December 1643. In the church baptisms which suffered a sad blank for many years after 20 September 1642, the name of no children but the first would be looked for, and that is not seen, so that it may be the children died soon. He was, in 1648, agent for Richard Young, who had in London, contributed to our common stock, and obtained for him his share of 100 acres of land, selectman 1660 and 8, Lieutenant in 1678, on 15 September of which year he died aged 71. Often it was written Tydd, and in moderate days is altogether Tidd.

HENRY TEAKE, is the misprint in Genealogical Registrar VII. 226, for Feake, Henry, of Lynn.

WILLIAM TELL, Malden, a freeman 1690, though, in my opinion the name is designed for Teal, who by wife Mary, had Abigail, born 1 Jan1686; Benjamin, 2 November 1689; Elizabeth, 22 June 1696; Oliver, 19 July 1699; and Rachel, 1 August 1703.

ABRAHAM TEMPLAR, ABRAHAM TEMPLE or ABRAHAM TEMPLER, Salem 1637, had Abraham.

ABRAHAM TEMPLAR, ABRAHAM TEMPLE or ABRAHAM TEMPLER, Concord, son perhaps of the preceding, married 1673, Deborah Hadlock, had Richard, Abigail, Mary, and Joseph; had perhaps removed to Charlestown, there had a daughter born 1686; but certainly was at Concord, a freeman 1690.

ISAAC TEMPLAR, ISAAC TEMPLE or ISAAC TEMPLER, Concord, son of Richard Templar, a freeman 1690.

JOHN TEMPLAR, JOHN TEMPLE or JOHN TEMPLER, Boston, a freeman 1671, was living 1695.

RICHARD TEMPLAR, RICHARD TEMPLE or RICHARD TEMPLER, Yarmouth, there is in the list of those able to bear arms, 1643, by wife Hannah Pritchard, daughter of Richard Pritchard, had Hannah, born 5 January 1643; Samuel, 22 January 1648; Esther, buried 13 September 1649; perhaps James; Deborah, died 5 August 1657; Deborah, again, baptized 4 October 1657; besides Richard, 15 October 1656, baptized 5 July 1663; but removed with father and mother of his wife to Charlestown, 1660. From ascertaining that his widow married 10 April 1674, Nathaniel Morton, Secretary of Plymouth Colony I was led to correct the erroneous inference, authorized by Charlestown record that he was recently dead in March 1678, as his house is mentioned but not the person. She outlived the dignitary, and died 26 December 1690, aged 66. In the will of Pritchard, 22 January 1669 are mentioned Hannah, wife of Richard Temple made executrix and the three children. By this document alone could the confusion of Templar and Temple into which Farmer fell, be explained. Deborah married John Chamberlain of Charlestown, and after a Miller.

RICHARD TEMPLAR, RICHARD TEMPLE or RICHARD TEMPLER, Salem 1644, Charlestown, 1646, there by wife Joanna, had Abigail, born 15 July 1647; Richard, 1654; removed to Concord, had Isaac, 19 June 1657, was a freeman 1672.

RICHARD TEMPLAR, RICHARD TEMPLE or RICHARD TEMPLER, Concord, son of the preceding, a freeman 1690, by wife Sarah, had Richard, born 1692; and Joseph, 1694; and died 16 February 1698 or 9.

RICHARD TEMPLAR, RICHARD TEMPLE or RICHARD TEMPLER, Reading, son of Robert Templar, married Deborah Parker, daughter of the second Thomas Parker of the same, had Josiah, born 16 March 1695; Thomas, 1 November 1696, died young; Jonathan, 19 February 1699; Phebe; John, 19 October 1704; Elizabeth, 17 December 1706; Jabez, 2 July 1709; Ruth, 1712; Thomas, again, 2 May, 1714; and Ebenezer, 7 May 1716; and died 28 November 1737, in 70th year as gravestone tells.

ROBERT TEMPLAR, ROBERT TEMPLE or ROBERT TEMPLER, Saco before 1670, perhaps several years, had Richard, born about 1668, and probably other children who with their mother it is thought on destruction of the town in 1676, when he was killed by the Indians, were forced to go to Boston for refuge.

THOMAS TEMPLAR, THOMAS TEMPLE or THOMAS TEMPLER, an English knight and baronet, came to Boston, with favor of appointment by Cromwell to be Governor of Acadia, in 1657, associated with Colonel Crowne, as grantee of Nova Scotia, spent many years this side of the water, speculated in the lands far and near, joined the church of Increase Mather in June 1670, yet was careful to hold good terms with Charles II (who renewed his office of Governor) with which in former years he interposed his kind offices to befriend New England. One mark of this I copied in the State Paper office at London, July 1842, being his letter to Secretary Morrice from Boston, August 1661, about the regicides, Whalley and Goffe, with a very curious one from Reverend John Davenport, on the same subject, addressed to Temple. The clergyman beats the courtier on that topic; but allowance is to be made for the cause, inasmuch as Temple was sincere, we may well suppose, and be more sure that Davenport was not. He thought a little equivocation justifiable for the glory of God, and safety of the prescribed. A pleasant anecdote is related by Hutchinson of Templar's persuading the king, that the pine tree on the coin struck in Boston, was the royal oak that saved his majesty. I doubt not, this is as near the truth as tradition often reaches; perhaps it was uttered by the traveller to our friend the Earl of Manchaster, or even to the Earl of Clarendon, whose well-tried loyalty quarrelled not with discretion; and in the way of trifling not uncommon in that court, may possibly though I think not, have got up to the throne. If the merry monarch had been ill-natured enough to ask what the date, 1652, meant. Sr. Thomas must have had awkward sensation. He died in London, 27 March 1674, had left at Boston a will of 14 October 1671, probated 28 July 1674, but all the executors Governor Leverett Captain Lake, Captain Hull, and John Richards, immediately renounced the office, probably through fear that the debts would much exceed the means, on another will had been probated the very day before at the Prerogative Court Doctor's Commons, made 27 March of that year so that the first, who may be found in our probably volume VI. 59, is superseded by this if I. 327.

WILLIAM TENCH, Plymouth, came in the Fortune 1621, alone, as counted in the allotment of lands and, as is said, died before 1638. As his name does not appear in the division of cattle 1627, he may well be supposed to have died so much earlier, unless a removal to another place, can be plausible assertion. See Morton's member and Young's Chron.

DANIEL TENNEY or DANIEL TENNY. Bradford, married 21 July 1680, Elizabeth Stickney, perhaps daughter of William Stickney.

DANIEL TENNEY or DANIEL TENNY, Rowley, youngest son of Thomas Tenney, by wife Mary, had Thomas, born 1681; Daniel 1694; John 1696; William 1698; Richard 1701; and Ebenezer 1703; besides two daughters.

JAMES TENNEY or JAMES TENNY, Boston, married 8 September 1654, Elizabeth Hagborn, daughter of Abraham Hagborn.

JOHN TENNEY or JOHN TENNY, Scarborough, married a daughter of Henry Warwick, of Saco, and with her mother fled from Indians hostility to Gloucester, before 1690, may have been of Rowley 1673, probably eldest brother of the preceding, Representative in 1692.

MILES TENNEY or MILES TENNY, Watertown, by wife Martha, had Ruhamah, who died 22 November 1665, says Bond, but he names no more.

SAMUEL TENNEY or SAMUEL TENNY, Bradford, married 18 December 1690, Sarah Boynton; but by former wife Abigail Bailey, daughter of Joseph Bailey, who died 28 November 1689, had Abigail, born 6 days before.

THOMAS TENNEY or THOMAS TENNY, Rowley, 1640, by wife Ann, who died 15 September 1657, had John, born 14 December 1640; Hannah, 15 March 1642; Mary, 17 June 1644; Thomas, 16 July 1648; James, 15 August 1650; and Daniel, 1653; besides two daughters. He or his son of the same name, probably the latter, was made Ensign by the General Court 1677.

WILLIAM TENNEY or WILLIAM TENNY, Rowley 1643, perhaps brother of the preceding, by wife Catharine, probably had William, born 1640; Elizabeth, 9 April 1643; Mary, 24 September 1646; Samuel, 6 April 1650; and Sarah, 15 April 1652; was Representative 1681. Of this name there had been, as Farmer in MS noted, four graduates at Harvard, two at Yale, and ten at other New England Colleges in 1834.

HENRY TEREBERRY, is a nickname, to be found on the Boston record of births of Tewksbury. See that.

THOMAS TERHAM or THOMAS TURHAM, Guilford 1685, married Mary, widow of Henry Wise, and died 1696, leaving widow Mary, and three children Henry, Samuel, and Abigail.

JOHN TERRILL or JOHN TURRALL, New London, died 27 February 1712, and his wife Sarah Willey, daughter of Isaac Willey, died next week.

ROGER TERRILL or ROGER TURRALL, Milford 1639, if Barber, Collection 231, be correct, is counted there among freeman 1669; and at the same time John Terrill, perhaps his brother, was propounded for a freeman. He married the daughter of the first Thomas Ufford. His daughter Abigail married William Tyler. Another Roger Terrill must be seen in Cothren's Ancient Woodbury, if he is correct. He was first of Stratford, but a signer of the fundamental articles for settlement of Wwoodbury 14 February 1673, and died 17 April 1722, and his widow Sarah, died 13 April 1728. The children were Abigail, baptized January 1682; Sarah, March 1684; Stephen, August 1686; Roger, July 1691; Ezra, April 1693; and Timothy and Martha, twins born 19 November 1697. It may seem that he was son of the first Roger Terrill.

EPHRAIM TERRY, Springfield, son of the first Samuel Terry, married 25 July 1695, Hannah Eggleston, daughter of James Eggleston of Windsor.

JOHN TERRY, Windsor, may be that one who came in the Abigail, 1635, aged 32, from London, fellow passenger with John Winthrop, perhaps was first of Dorchester, and may have been brother of Stephen Terry, is found among the freeman and probably had been for some years in 1669, unless this freeman may rather seem to be

JOHN TERRY, Windsor, son of Stephen Terry, who married 27 November 1662, Elizabeth Wadsworth, daughter of William Wadsworth, had Elizabeth, born 16 December 1663; or as another says 1664; Stephen, 6 October 1666; Sarah, 16 November 1668; John 22 March 1670; Rebecca, 7 January 1672, died young; Mary, 19 July 1673; Solomon, 29 March 1675; and Rebecca, again, 27 February 1677, died young.

RICHARD TERRY, Southold, Long Island 1662, came at the age of 17, in the James, 1635, from London, with Thomas Terry and Robert Terry, probably his elder brothers and was accepted as a freeman of Connecticut In 1662.

ROBERT TERRY, was aged 25, when he embarked at London, 1635, in the James, with Thomas Terry, probably elder, and Richard Terry, younger, brothers but no more is found of this name.

SAMUEL TERRY, Springfield, said to be brought in 1650, by Pynchon, from Barnett 11 miles from London, where he was born April 1632, was resident as Dr. Sprague thinks about 1654, married 3 January 1660, Ann Lobdell, perhaps sister of Simon Lobdell, had Samuel, born 18 July 1661; Ephraim, 26 August 1663, died young; Thomas, 6 March 1665; Mary, July 1667; Rebecca, 25 July 1669, died soon; Ephraim, again, 3 February 1672; Rebecca, again, 5 December 1673; Elizabeth, 25 March 1677, died very soon; and Ann; and on the last day of 1678 or first of 1679, he, and Samuel, junior his son, took oath of allegiance, married 19 November 1690, second wife Sarah Scott, and after 1700 removed to Enfield and died 1731.

SAMUEL TERRY, Enfield, son of the preceding, married 17 May 1682, Hannah Morgan, sister of Isaac Morgan, I think, and said to have been the first marriage in that settlement before it was made a town by separating from Springfield, had Hannah, born 18 November 1684; Samuel, 26 March 1690; Rebecca, 15 November 1692; Ebenezer, 31 March 1696; and Benjamin, 13 October 1698; and his wife died 17 January 1697. By second wife married 4 Jan 1699, Martha, widow of Benjamin Crane, whose surname, as Goodwin has it, Credan, looks very strange, he had Ephraim, born 24 October 1701; Jacob, 20 February 1704; Martha, perhaps 18 February 1706, died next month; Jonathan, 17 November 1707; and Isaac, 17 April 1713; and died 1730. His widow died 29 May 1743.

STEPHEN TERRY, Dorchester, came 1630, probably in the Mary and John, on 19 October required administration and 18 May 1631, was allowed a freeman, held in good repute, appointed constable as in Collection record I. 151 appears evidence of his being sworn 7 July 1635, next year partook of the spirit of migration and probably removed with the major part of the church and Reverend John Warham their minister, at least we know he was in Windsor 1637, and twenty years after was one of those engaged in the first troop of cavalry established in the country. Who his wife was, or whether be brought her from England is not ascertained, but of children: Mary was born at Dorchester 31 December 1635; John, married 6 March 1638 at Windsor; Elizabeth 43, baptized 9 January 1642; and Abigail, 21, baptized 27 September 1646. Mary married 8 December 1659, Richard Goodman; and Elizabeth married 10 January 1666, Philip Russell of Hadley as his second wife and with two of her four children were killed by the Indians September 1677; Abigail married 9 May 1667, as his second wife Lieutenant Joseph Kellogg, and was living In 1715.

THOMAS TERRY, Southold, came 1635, aged 28, with Richard Terry, and Robert Terry, probably his younger brothers in the James from London; they all, perhaps, continued in Massachusetts some years though the town is not known at least we see, in December 1638, that the leader of the three was, by the General Court ordered to appear at next Court. See record I. 248. To Long Island they went probably by 1646, and Thomas was accepted as a freeman of Connecticut 1662.

THOMAS TERRY, Springfield, son of the first Samuel Terry, married 21 April 1687, Mary Cooley. One of this name at Harvard, and seven at Yale, had been graduates in 1852.

GABRIEL TETHERLY, and WILLIAM TETHERLY are seen in Maine about 1680, perhaps transient. But of William Tetherly we know that he was of Biddeford in County Devon, and at Boston, 1664, 5, 6, and 8.

RICHARD TEW, styled son and heir of Henry Tew, Portsmouth, Rhode Island. 1640; Newport 1654, on the list of a freeman 1655, was Representative and Assistant, is one of the grantees in the royal Charter 1663, had married before coming from England, Mary Clark, daughter of William Clark, of Hardwick Priors, County Warwick, and had a daughter born 4 June 1640, on his voyage, and therefore named Seaborn; and Elnathan, 15 October 1644; perhaps others; Seaborn married 5 January 1658, Samuel Billings; Elnathan married 3 November 1664, Thomas Harris; and Mary, probably another daughter married 30 December 1670, Andrew Harris.

HENRY TEWKSBURY, HENRY TEWXBERRY, HENRY TUKSBERY, or HENRY TUXBURY, Newbury, removed to Boston, married 10 November 1659, Martha, widow of William Harvey of Boston, had Elizabeth, born 22 August following; Hannah, 1 September 1662; Henry, 15 December 1664; Naomi, 18 January 1667; and Ruth, 10 March 1669; took oath of allegiance 13 May 1669, and again having removed to Amesbury, was called to the same, 20 December 1677; grew to be a freeman 1680.

THOMAS TEWKSBURY, THOMAS TEWXBERRY, THOMAS TUKSBERY, or THOMAS TUXBURY, Manchester 1686, was Representative 1692.

ANTHONY THACHER, or ANTHONY THATCHER, Marblehead, came from Salisbury in County Wilts, where he had served occasionally as curate for Peter Thacher 1631 and 4, the rector of St. Edmunds in that city, who probably was his brother. He had been a non-conformist, lived in Holland more than 20 years before, and embarked on 6 April 1635 at Southampton in the James (though we might by Hubbard, 200, be misled to think he came in the Angel Gabriel, cast away, 15 August) and arrived at Boston 3 June, in the ship's clearance called a tayler for deception, not of the inferiors at the custom house who certified that the total number of men, youths, and boys, was 53, when we are sure there were many more perhaps, a hundred and fifty percent. He brought a second wife and four children William, born of the first wife as may have been some of the rest, Mary, Edith, and Peter, a babe, and probably was accompanied by the cousin Reverend Joseph Avery, with wife and six children and his nephew Thomas Thacher, afterwards first minister of the third or Old South church in Boston, besides a servant Peter Higden; but of all these, only the names of Higden and of Anthony appear in that list of 53. Such was the mode of evasion of the petty tyranny of the Lords of the Council. The ship was of 300 tons, and might well have brought 150 passengers when so many were eager to come, yet the names of 53 alone are given. Most of these went to Ipswich, and a large part of them settled the same and following year at Newbury; but Thacher with his friend Avery, who was invited to preach at Marblehead, with all their respective children and family except his nephew Thomas, then 15 years old, who preferred land travel, embarked in a pinnace of Isaac Allerton to return from Ipswich to marry on 15 August 1635, and next day were wrecked on a rock, or rather ledge off Cape Ann. Of 23 persons in that little bark, all but Thacher and his wife were drowned. He and she were cast on the barren islet, ever since called Thacher's woe, as the outer rock, gained the name of Avery's fall. Slight account of this sad occurrence is in Magnalia II. cap. 2, but Fuller in Winthrop I. 165, and the personal relative of the whole by the suffered is in Young's Chronicles of Massachusetts 483, and I can recommend no more striking narrative in our early history. He was by the Court made administrator of Joseph Avery, as Colony record I. 154, shows. Our General Court bestow a good sum in money on the survivors suffered as in record I. 1557 appears, and afterwards, Ib. 191, made a grant of that diastrous Island for an inheritance who was not, I imagine, worth taken into possession. He preached perhaps, short time at Marblehead, where he had probably Judah; John, born 17 March 1639; but went for permanant settlement before 1643, to Yarmouth, and had Bethia, who married Jabez Howland; and Rodolphus in my conjecture. For a season he was of Marshfield, Representative for Yarmouth 1643-7. He had at Salisbury in Old England, Benjamin, born 13, baptized 27 April 1634, but this child perhaps died soon; as did his mother Mary if a family member be correct, who says that his second wife taken a few weeks before sailing was Elizabeth Jones; and he died at Yarmouth where his inventory is dated 22 August 1667, if Alden's Epit. I. 120 may be correct, aged 80.

JOHN THACHER, or JOHN THATCHER, Yarmouth, youngest son of the preceding, married 6 November 1664, Rebecca Winslow, daughter of the first Josiah Winslow, and niece of the first Governor, who had Peter, born 26 April as one report is, or by another 20 May 1665; Josiah, 26 April 1667, both baptized 26 April 1668; Rebecca, 1, baptized 6 June 1669; Bethia, 10, baptized 16 July 1671; John, 28 January baptized 14 February 1675; Elizabeth, 19 June, baptized 22 July 1677; Hannah, 19, baptized 24 August 1679, died at ten years; and Mary, 3 August baptized 24 September 1682, died young. His wife died 15 July following, and many lamentable verses he wrote on her. By second wife married 11 January 1684, Lydia Corham, daughter of John Corham, he had Lydia, 11, baptized 22 February 1685; Mary, again, 5 February baptized 6 March 1687; Desire, 24 December 1688, baptized 27 January following; Hannah, 9, baptized 12 October 1690; Mercy, 23 July 1692, died next month; Judah, 20, baptized 27 August 1693; Mercy, again, 28 December 1695, baptized next day, died at 8 months; Ann, 7 May, baptized 27 June 1697; Joseph, 11, baptized 16 July 1699; Benjamin, 25 June, baptized 3 August 1701; Mercy, again, 7 February baptized same day 1703; and Thomas, 2 April baptized 20 May 1705, as the town record has it, though I have seen a family MS that makes the year 1711, which is probably erronous. Forty-one years would seem a sufficient period for having children. He was Representative 1668 and twelve years following, Assistant many years after, and a Counselor under new charter, died 8 May 1713. Fourteen of his twenty children married for the blessing of the cape.

JUDAH THACHER, or JUDAH THATCHER, Yarmouth, son probably eldest of Anthony Thacher, on our side of the water, married Mary Thornton, daughter of Reverend Thomas Thornton, and of descendants this report is given Elizabeth born October 1667, who was second wife of first Joshua Gee; Thomas, 18 May 1669; Mary, 17 March 1671, who was second wife of Moses Draper, and next of Joseph Grant; Judah, died soon; Ann, 31 October 1674; and Judah, again, 7 December 1676.

PETER THACHER, or PETER THATCHER, Yarmouth 1678, may have been son of that John Thacher, born after his father's shipwreck, and so called in memory of that babe lost in the disaster of 1635. Yet I marvel, that some earlier writer was not enabled to follow up the Genealogy.

PETER THACHER, or PETER THATCHER, Milton, youngest son of Reverend Thomas Thacher, a freeman 1678, at the same time with his friend, the First Church justified Sewal, accompanied another classmate, Samuel Danforth, to Europe, and on his death near the end of 1676, came back soon; married 21 November 1677, Theodora Oxenbridge, daughter of Reverend John Oxenbridge of the First Church who had eight years before been in fierce enmity with the Third Church founded for his father and so, I hope, some help was given to the quiet that began, soon after the death of Governor Bellingham, to reign through the colony so long disturbed. He was ordained first minister of Milton 1681, had Theodora; Bathsheba; Oxenbridge Thacher, born 17 May 1681, Harvard College 1698; Elizabeth; Mary; Peter Thacher, 6 October 1688, Harvard College 1706, minister of Middleborough; John, died young; Thomas, 1693, died at 28 years; and John, again. His ordination at Middleborough was, if we obey the authority of Farmer, in September 1681. There his wife died 18 November 1697, and he married next Susanna, widow of Reverend John Bailey, who died 4 September 1724 in her 59th year, and he married Elizabeth, widow of the first Joshua Gee, and died Eliot says 17, but Farmer incorrectly 27 December 1727. Strange. Does Farmer give him the widow of Reverend Joshua Gee at 3rd wife when Gee was the survivor by many years and his mother-in-law Elizabeth, daughter of Judah Thacher became third wife of Peter Thacher. He preached a sermon that Eliot calls beautiful on the death of Gee's wife but that was only a single year before his own.

RODOLPHUS THACHER, or RODOLPHUS THATCHER, or RALPH THACHER, or RALPH THATCHER, Duxbury, son of Thomas Thacher, married 1 January 1670, Ruth Partridge, daughter of George Partridge of the same, had Thomas, born 9 October following; Elizabeth, 1 March 1672; Ann, 26 November 1673, died young; Ruth, 1 November 1675; Rodolophus, 9 January 1678; Lydia, 24 January 1680; Mary 8 March 1682; Ann, again, 30 March 1684; and Peter, 17 August 1686; was constable 1678, and several years from 1685, clerk of the town. But his benevelent carried him to Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard, where he preached many years and in June 1711 gave to his son "Rodolphus, alias Ralph" estate of 60 acres. See Mather's Hecatompolis, in Magnalia I. 27, and Genealogical Registrar XI. 242. Winsor, 235, misleads.

SAMUEL THACHER, or SAMUEL THATCHER, Watertown, a freeman 18 May 1642, was Deacon, often selectman, Representative 1665-9, on 30 November of which last he died, by wife Hannah, administered of the church at Cambridge, 31 May 1667, had Hannah, born 9 October 1645; and Samuel, 20 October 1648. The widow Hannah, in her will of 16 April 1682, with codicil of 20 December following, probated 3 April next, mentioned grandchildren John and Hannah, who were children of John Holmes and her daughter Hannah, married 13 September 1664, who died 24 May 1670; son Samuel and his first children with several other persons, who I judge to be not related but only friends.

SAMUEL THACHER, or SAMUEL THATCHER, Watertown, son of the preceding, at Lynn married 11 April 1676, Mary Farnsworth, probably daughter of Mathias Farnsworth, had Mary, born 1 August 1681, died at 9 months Samuel, 8 April 1683; John, 22 January 1686; Hannah, 30 April 1688, died young; Mary, again, 17 September 1690; Hannah, again, 10 December 1692; Abigail, 6 June, 1694; Mercy, 2 January 1698; Sarah, 30 November 1699; and Ebenezer, 17 March 1704; a freeman 1690, was a Lieutenant, and died 21 October 1726. Of the Watertown family descendants all retain the old spelling as if deriving their name from the early occupation of a thatcher, which seems very probable.

THOMAS THACHER, or THOMAS THATCHER, Weymouth, son of Reverend Peter Thacher, rector of St. Edmunds, Salisbury, in County Wilts, born 1 May 1620, before his father was inducted (but the family origin was probably County Somerset) came with his uncle Anthony Thacher in the James from Southampton, arriving at Boston 4 June 1635, went to Ipswich with his uncle and other friends, but avoided the peril of their return in August of the same year in which all but Anthony and his wife were lost, was put under the direction of Reverend Charles Chauncey of Scituate, who prepared him for his profession with great diligence. He married 11 May 1643, Elizabeth Partridge, youngest daughter of Reverend Ralph Partridge of Duxbury, and was ordained minister at Weymouth (as successor of Samuel Newman, who removed with many of his flock to Rehoboth) 2 Jan 1645, not 1664, as in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 183 the figures read, was a freeman 1645, when the prefix of Mr. is strangely omitted. His good sense united with a general acquaintence in science of that day acquired for him great reputation as a physician, and to complete his honors, Mather who always loves an exaggeration makes him compose a Hebrew Lexicon, so compressed "that within one sheet of paper, he had every considerable word of the language." The children were Thomas, Ralph; alias Rodolphus; Peter Thacher, born at Salem, (we know not by what accident the mother was there) 18, baptized 20 July 1651, Harvard College 1671; Patience; and Elizabeth, who married Nathaniel Davenport, the brave Captain killed in the great Narraganset battle, 19 December 1675, and next married 1677, Samuel Davis. His wife died 2 June 1664, soon after which he married Margaret Webb, widow of Jacob Sheaffe, daughter of Henry Webb, and removed to Boston, joined the First Church 4 August 1667, and was desired to be minister of a new society there, since called the Old South church growing out of the dissatisfaction at the desception artifices for bringing of Davenport from New haven to succeed Wilson. In October 1669, to save the feelings of his fellow-worshippers he took dismissal to the church at Charlestown, and on 16 February following was installed, over the new church of Boston and was held in high esteem. In 1674, he with Increase Mather, was added to former licensers of the press; and he died 15 October 1678, as on page 152 of the Magnalia III. is told, though on the next page where he gives as a curiosity some elegiac strains in Latin and Greek by an Indian youth named Eleazer, then student in the senior class at Harvard the Eccles. History with his aptitude for error, makes it 18 October. Still his life is one of the best in the volume though Eliot has judiciously curtailed it by four fifths. His widow died 23 or 4 February 1694, as town record and Sewall's Diary tell. Patience married William Kemp.

THOMAS THACHER, or THOMAS THATCHER, Boston, merchant eldest son of the preceding, married Mary Savage, daughter of Thomas Savage, had Elizabeth, born 26, baptized 31 December 1671; Thomas 25, baptized 28 September 1673; John, 22, baptized 24 January 1675; Peter Thacher, baptized 26 August 1677, Harvard College 1696; and Mary, 28 January baptized 1 February 1680. He died 2 April 1686, and his widow died 22 July 1730, gives all her property to son Peter Thacher, who was minister of Weymouth, married 14 October 1708, Hannah Curwin, but had no children. His name is often repeated on account of the extraordinary circumstance of his being brought from the pulpit at Weymouth to the new North Church in Boston, as colleague with Reverend John Webb, who had been graduates at Harvard 12 years later. How long after 1696 he was ordained at Weymouth or what were the concomitants of his lot there are unknown. That he must have been highly regarded at Weymouth and not through the partiality of a few hearers, who remembered the powers of his uncle half a century before is a reasonable presumption and why many should have desired him is easier to conjecture than the reason for the bitter and most indecent repugnance to his installation that any of the petty squabbles about the introduction of a minister in any parish of New England have produced. Four, five, or six publications on the two sides, may be preserved by the curious for this eventful year 1720, on 28 January in which an ordained council was obliged to go secretly to the house of worship in Boston; where the disorded vulgarity, as tradition relates, was too bad to be entrusted even to printing. He died 26 February 1739. Of this name 19 had in 1854, been graduates at Harvard and 4 at Yale.

NATHANIEL THARPE, New Haven, perhaps son of William Tharpe, was punished 1664, for stealing from an Indian. Continued proprietor 1685. He married 10 December 1692, Sarah, widow of Benjamin Robinson.

WILLIAM THARPE, New Haven 1647, had perhaps by first wife Nathaniel, baptized 24 May 1640, Elizabeth, April 1643; John, July 1643; Samuel, 14 June 1646; and Eleazer, 5 November 1648; married probably for second or third wife 1662, Margaret, widow of Robert Pigg, and is in the list of a freeman 1669, but if, as I can hardly doubt was the case, the name be the one in other record spelled Thorpe, then died before 1685.

JOHN THAXTER, Hingham, son of Thomas Thaxter, brought by his father from England 1638, married 14 December 1648, daughter of Nicholas Jacob, had John, born 1651, died soon; Thomas, 4 June 1654; Joseph, 1 June 1656; Samuel, born 17 November 1658, died young; Elizabeth, 19 February 1661; Benjamin, 4 February 1663; Samuel, again, 1 August 1665; Mary, 19 August 1667; Deborah, 5 September 1669; Sarah, 26 September 1671; Daniel, 29 August 1675, died in few months; and Jonathan, 18 April 1677; was made Lieutenant 1664, when serving against the Dutch at New York was prepared for, under orders from Cromwell; Representative 1666; in 1680, was in command of the troop of cavalry and died 14 March 1687. Elizabeth married 8 December 1680 the second Daniel Cushing; Mary married 1688, Theophilus Cushing; Deborah married 17 October 1687 Thomas Cushing; and Sarah married 25 March 1691, Peter Dunbar; and the mother of all these children married 9 March 1691 Daniel Cushing, the venerable town clerk.

JOSEPH THAXTER, Boston, son of the preceding, had wife Mary, but no children, and died in early manhood, 1687, divided his property by will, equally to wife Mary and his brother Samuel.

SAMUEL THAXTER, Hingham, youngest brother of John Thaxter, married 19 December 1666, Abigail Church, daughter of Richard Church, had Abigail, born 29 September 1667, died next month; Sarah, 16 November 1668; Abigail, again, 18 November 1670, died at six months; David, 6 April 1672; Mary, 16 May 1674, died in few weeks; John, 27 July 1675, died in few days; and Samuel, 23 April 1677, died in few months. His wife died 25 December following, and he married 13 June 1678, Deborah Lincoln, daughter of Thomas Lincoln, the cooper, had Deborah, 24 July 1679; Samuel, again, 19 February 1682, died at 12 years; and Abigail, again, 4 February 1685. His wife died 7 December 1694, and he died May 1725.

SAMUEL THAXTER, Hingham, son of John Thaxter, a freeman 1678, married 29 December 1691, Hannah Gridley, had Elizabeth, baptized 25 September 1692; John, born 1 January 1694; and Samuel Thaxter, 8 October 1695, Harvard College 1714; and died 13 November 1740. He was a very serviceable man, Colony Representative and Counselor of the Province.

THOMAS THAXTER, Hingham, came 1638, with eldest son John, and daughter Elizabeth, had here wife Elizabeth and children Sarah; Samuel, born 19 May 1641; and Thomas, who died 5 January 1647, young; was a freeman 18 May 1642, and died 14 February 1654. His widow married 29 September following William Ripley of Hingham and next, 20 January 1658, John Dwight of Dedham; and daughter Sarah married I presume, 13 December 1655, Thomas Thurston of Medfield.

THOMAS THAXTER, Hingham, second son of John Thaxter of the same, married 31 December 1696, Lydia Logan of Boston, but had no children, and died 3 September 1704. It is believed that all the twelve graduates of this name at Harvard are his descendants, but there is none in the Yale Catalogue.

BENJAMIN THAYER, Mendon, youngest son of Ferdinando Thayer, married 15 September 1699, Sarah Hayward, perhaps daughter of Jonathan Hayward, had Ruth, born 1 March 1700; Margaret, 17 December 1701; Grace, 6 May 1704; Sarah, 23 March 1706; Benjamin, 23 September 1707, died soon; and Lydia, 24 April 1709. His wife died 1711, and he married 20 December 1712, Hannah Hayward, possibly sister of the former wife, had Benjamin, again, 13 July 1713; and Aaron, 11 November 1715.

CORNELIUS THAYER, Braintree, son probably of the first Richard Thayer, died probably unmarried at Weymouth early in 1663.

CORNELIUS THAYER, Braintree, youngest son of the second Richard Thayer, by wife Abigail Hayden, daughter of the second John Hayden, had Cornelius, born about 1696; Moses, 1698; Gideon, 1 March 1700; David, 1702; Ezekiel, 1704; Eliakim, 1706; Hezekiah, 1708; Jeremiah, who died 9 November 1711; Abigail, died 11 January 1712, both probably very young; and Jeremiah, again, 20 August 1716. His wife died 1 January 1731.

His wife died 19 August 1751, and he died 15 June 1757, having married second wife after he was 84 yrs old. His descendants are very numerous, all the 14 children having married and had families.

FERDINANDO THAYER, Braintree, son of Thomas Thayer the first, born in England, married 14 January 1652, Huldah Hayward, had Sarah, born 12 May 1654, or 3 February 1655, as the numerals for month and day are respectively accepted; Huldah, 16 June 1657; Jonathan, 18 March 1659; David, 20 June 1669, died at 14 years; and Naomi, 28 January 1662. In few years he removed to Mendon, there, unless some of these were (as is probably) born at Braintree, had Thomas, Samuel, Isaac, Josiah, Ebenezer, Benjamin, and last, David, again, April 1672. His wife died 1 September 1690, and he died 28 March 1713.

ISAAC THAYER, Braintree, son of the second Thomas Thayer, died unmarried 9 August 1690, of smallpox, before Sir William Phips, in whose sad expedition he was embarked had with his fleet, got out of our Bay.

ISAAC THAYER, Mendon, brother of Benjamin Thayer of the same, by wife Mercy, had Mercy, born 2 November 1693; Isaac, 24 September 1695; Ebenezer, 6 September 1697; and Comfort, 19 February 1700; and by another wife Mary, he had Mary, 22 December 1704; John, 9 May 1706; Nathaniel, 20 April 1708; and Moses, May 1710.

JOHN THAYER, Braintree, son of the second Thomas Thayer, by wife Mary Neale, daughter of Henry Neale, had John, born 30 June 1686; and Henry, 4 August 1688, died at 7 months. His wife died after more than 35 years insanity July 1724, and he died 19 December 1746, after much longer suffered by paralysis.

JONATHAN THAYER, Mendon, brother of Ferdinando Thayer, by wife Elizabeth, had Huldah, born 22 May 1682; Grace, 20 December 1684; Deborah, 4 November 1687; and Jonathan, 8 September 1690.

JOSIAH THAYER, Mendon, brother of the preceding, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 25 May 1691; Josiah, 4 June 1694; Susanna, 13 September 1696; Miriam, 3 June 1699; Jonathan, 28 February 1702; Rebecca, 29 July 1704; Bathsheba, 10 September 1706; and David, 6 March 1710.

NATHANIEL THAYER, Taunton, of who with confidence no more is known, but that he had Joanna, born 13 December 1665, who married 7 January 1690, John Crossman, was a proprietor 1668. But other children probably he had, for in the list of marriages only few years before and after appear the names of Mary, twice, Abigail, Elizabeth, and William, all of who may not be derived from Braintree.

NATHANIEL THAYER, Boston, son probably of Richard Thayer the first, was a freeman 1690, and died 28 March 1728; by wife Deborah, had Nathaniel, born 28 August 1671, probably died young; Nathaniel, again, 11 July 1681; Zechariah, 29 May 1683; Cornelius, 14 November 1684; John, 2 April 1687, died soon; John, again, 2 July 1688; Ebenezer Thayer, 1 February 1690, Harvard College 1708; and Deborah, 14 October 1691. From his son Cornelius Thayer, through a great-grandson Ebenezer Thayer, Harvard College 1753, minister of Hampton, came the late Reverend Nathaniel Thayer of Lancaster, Harvard College 1789, father of prominent men of this generation.

NATHANIEL THAYER, Braintree, son of Richard Thayer the second, married 27 May 1679, Hannah Hayden, eldest daughter of the second John Hayden of the same, had Nathaniel; Richard; Hannah, born 17 February 1686; Zechariah, 16 March 1687; Ruth, 17 July 1689; Dorothy; Lydia; and Daniel; was a housewright, of great esteem, and died 28 March 1726. He was progenitor of Colonel Sylvanus Thayer, the distinguished engineer of our day, former commander of the national military school at West Point.

RICHARD THAYER, Boston, 1640, brought from England children Richard, Deborah, Sarah, and perhaps more, as probably Cornelius, Nathaniel and Zechariah. Sarah married 20 July 1651, Samuel Davis, removed to Braintree, and had died 27 August 1696. In 36 pages of Thayer's family Genealogy are comprised many of the progeny of this Richard alone.

RICHARD THAYER, Braintree, son of the preceding, brought from England by his father, married 24 December 1651, Dorothy Pray, had Dorothy, born 30 August 1653; Richard, 31 August 1655; Nathaniel, 1 January 1658; and perhaps had Zechariah, and probably daughters Jael, and Abigail, and Cornelius, 18 September 1670; went home on business, and came back 1679, as is told, and died 4 December 1705. His widow died the next week after. He made complaint in England against our Colony to which the answer in Remonstrance of Braintree is one of the most curious papers in our annals. It may be read in 4 Massachusetts history Collection V. 104.

RICHARD THAYER, Braintree, son of the preceding, probably served in Philip's war, of Johnson's Company 1675, married 16 July 1679, Rebecca Mycall, daughter of James Mycall, had Rebecca, born 16 August 1680; Benjamin, 6 October 1683; Richard, 26 January 1685; John, 12 January 1688; Mary, February 1689; James, 16 November 1691; Deborah, baptized 11 April 1697; Ann, 14 November 1697; Gideon, born 26 July 1700; and Obadiah, 1 May 1703; and died 11 September 1729.

SAMUEL THAYER, Braintree, son of Shadrach Thayer, married 18 January 1694, Susanna Scant, daughter of William Scant of the same, had Samuel, born 8 March 1695; Susanna, 23 May 1697; Lydia, 25 December 1699; Timothy, 31 December 1701; and Hannah, 27 January 1704.

SAMUEL THAYER, Mendon, son of Ferdinando Thayer, by wife Mary, had Samuel, born 1 December 1691; Sarah, 11 February 1695; Huldah, 30 November 1698; Mary, 11 February 1701; Joseph, July 1707; and Benjamin, 11 September 1709; was Lieutenant, and died 19 December 1721.

SHADRACH THAYER, SYDRACK THAYER, or SIDRICK THAYER, Braintree, youngest son of the first Thomas Thayer, born in England, married 1 January 1655, Mary Barrett, had Rachel, born 9 October 1655 (Genealogical Registrar XII. 108, says 9 November), died next year; and Trial, 7 February 1658. His wife died 2 April following and he married Deliverance Priest, had Freelove, 30 June 1662, died in few weeks; Mary, 1 April 1663; Timothy, 3 September 1666, Samuel, 7 September 1667; Ephraim, 17 January 1669; Hannah, 8 April 1672, died before 6 years; and William, 1 August 1675. He died 19 October 1678, and his widow died 17 January 1723. Of the descendants of Shadrach the numeration is by thousands, and part of them fill 87 pages in Thayer's Genealogy.

THOMAS THAYER, Braintree, shoemaker, perhaps elder brother of Richard Thayer the first, brought from England perhaps as late as 1645, wife Margery, and three prolific sons Thomas, Ferdinando, and Shadrach, or Sydrach, as in his will of 21 June 1664, he calls him; was a freeman 1647, when it is written Tayer; died 2 June 1665, well advanced in years; and his will was probated 13 September following. His widow died 11 February 1673.

THOMAS THAYER, Braintree, son of the preceding, perhaps brought from England wife Ann, and son Thomas, here had Elizabeth, born 23 March 1647; Isaac, 7 September 1654, died young; John, 25 December 1656; Experience, 15 February or March 1659; Isaac, again, 30 May 1661; Ebenezer, 7 July 1665; and Deborah, died young. He died 9 August 1693, aged 69; and his widow died 7 February 1698.

THOMAS THAYER, Braintree, son of the preceding, perhaps, but not probably born in England, married 25 March 1680, Abigail Veazie, daughter of William Veazie, had Thomas, born 14 January 1681; William, 15 August 1682; and Abigail, 13 July 1685; and died 7 December 1705. His widow died 11 January 1712.

THOMAS THAYER, Mendon, son of Ferdinando Thayer, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 19 January 1689; Thomas, 14 January 1694; Samuel, 28 March 1696; Temperance, 7 July 1698; David, 8 February 1701; Elizabeth 2 March 1703; John, 17 September 1706; William, 22 January 1708; Margaret, 12 December 1710; and Jemima, 13 February 1712.

WILLIAM THAYER, Braintree, youngest son of Shadrach Thayer, married 22 September 1699, widow Hannah Hayward, had Bethia, baptized 18 August 1700; Jonathan, 2 May 1703; and William, 11 May 1705.

ZECHARIAH THAYER, Braintree, son probably of Richard Thayer the first, died probably unmarried 29 July 1693. Remarkable may appear the fact, that so few of these men took the oath of freemen, but it is known that fewer from Braintree than any other town appeared in 1678, five were sworn and hardly as many more can be seen in the long period preceding, from 1630. So little, comparatively was the migration of these families of Thayer, that in the catalogue of graduates at Harvard are seen nineteen, and not one at Yale.

JOSEPH THELE, or JOSEPH THALE, Stamford, probably son of Nicholas Thele of Watertown, a freeman 1662, is by me presumed to be that man, made a freeman 1662, whose name in Connecticut Colony record I. 391, is given Threed; but he was of too much value to be thus obscured, Representative 1671, 3, 5, 6, and 7; after 1687; had good estate, removed to Bedford, just beyond the Colony boundary in jurisdiction of New York, and I regret that no genealogical details are attained.

NICHOLAS THELE, or NICHOLAS THALE, Watertown 1638, by wife Elizabeth, had Joseph, born 24 October 1640; and Elizabeth, 5 June 1643; probably in the autumn of 1645 removed to Stamford, there died 19 August 1658. His will disposes his property to wife and the two children. Elizabeth married 27 October 1659, Willaim Ratcliffe. The widow married Thomas Ufford, and died 27 December 1660, soon after her second husband.

JONATHAN THING, Ipswich 1641, may have soon after been of Hampton, next at Wells, submitted 1653, to the government of Massachusetts, and was appointed constable.

JONATHAN THING, Exeter, probably son of the preceding, married Mary Gilman, eldest daughter of John Gilman, had Jonathan, born 21 September 1678; John, 16 June 1680; Bartholomew, 25 February 1682; Joseph, November 1684; Elizabeth; Benjamin, 12 November 1688; and Josiah, 1690; was of the grand jury 1684, and constable next year, and died 31 October 1694, in his 40th year, his wife having died in August 1691, under 33 years as the inscription on the gravestones proves. A jury of inquiry on the body of Captain Jonathan Thing, the same day, gave verdict, "shot by his own gun."

SAMUEL THING, who married Abigail Gilman, daughter of John Gilman, 1690, prayed for continued protection of Massachusetts over them, with the preceding, was perhaps his brother

JEFFREY THISTLE, or JEFFREY THISSELL, Marblehead 1668, petitioner against imposts, owned land at Beverly. He was from Abbotsbury, about 8 miles south west from Dorchester, County Dorset, and near the coast, as from his will of 29 October 1675, probated June following, abstract in Essex Institute Collection II. 231, appears; and he died at sea, on voyage from Sal Tortudas to New England. It names daughter Jane, then at Abbotsbury, son Richard and his children Jeffrey and Mary.

RICHARD THISTLE, or RICHARD THISSELL, Beverly 1664, son of the preceding, had William, born 1684, and perhaps others, certain, elder son Jeffrey, and daughter Mary; and he was 42 years old when William was born.

BENJAMIN THOMAS, Springfield, son of Rowland Thomas, married 1688, Ann Belding of Hatfield, had Sarah, born 2 September 1690; Mary, 26 December 1692; a son 20 December 1694; Ann, 21 November 1696; and Samuel,7 January 1699; removed soon after and the name became extension at Springfield.

DANIEL THOMAS, New Haven, eldest son of John Thomas of the same, was propounded for a freeman 1670, married 3 February 1670, Rebecca Thompson, perhaps daughter of John Thompson, of the same, had Dorothy; John, born 1674; Daniel, 14 February 1677; Dinah, 26 December 1678; Samuel, 13 January 1681, died young; Recompense, 27 March 1683; and Israel, 1689. He died February 1694; and his widow married a Perkinson. His daughter Dorothy married 13 April 1693, Henry Toll or Towle.

EVAN THOMAS, Boston, 1640, came from Wales, bringing wife Jane and four children, for which 1 September the Court directed Assistant administrator of our church 4 April 1641, and a freeman 2 June following, had Jane, baptized 16 May 1641, which being Sunday, may be as well relied on as the town record that she was born that day; Dorcas, baptized 5 February 1643, about 11 days old, by the church record when the town record gives the same day for birth; but this may be better deserved of credit, when added that she died 28 of the same month. The wife joined our church 7 March 1646, and died 12 January 1659. He was a vintner, had another wife Alice, widow of Philip Kirtland, or Philip Catlin, of Lynn, who he married 1659 or 60, was of artillery company 1653, had good estate, and died 25 August 1661. His daughter Jane married 14 November 1657, John Jackson. The widow seems to have been less aceptable in her control of the business at the King's Arms public house for she was warned to leave town as late as 1672, and not restored before 1676. But she had a stout heart, relieved the tavern in May 1680 from mortgage of £300, and lived on till 1697, in her will of 26 January probated 21 October of that year names plenty of children and grandchildren of the latter class one, Abigail Thomas, was then wife of Reverend Joseph Belcher.

FRANCIS THOMAS, Boston, married Rebecca Iyans, daughter of Matthew Iyans, had John, born 1665, was living with wife 1674.

GEORGE THOMAS, Salem, married 28 December 1667, Mary Graves, daughter of Richard Graves, had Richard, born 6 December 1668; George, 14 April 1670; Mary, 3 December 1671; Elizabeth, 4 January 1673; Hannah, 6 June 1674; and Ruth, 8 February 1676.

GEORGE THOMAS, Boston, by wife Rebecca, had Peter, born 5 February 1683; George, 16 March 1685; and Maverick, 19 March 1694. Henry Thomas is in Genealogical Registrar IX. 354, given as one of Gallup's Company against Quebec 1690; but he is not seen in the more correct list of XIII. 133, where is no surname Thomas, nor even any baptized Henry.

HUGH THOMAS, Roxbury, of who I can find no more, but that he was administered a freeman 1651, probably had no children as he gave his estate to strangers in blood for the good of Roxbury school in order to insure support of himself and wife Clement for residue of life in 1677, with decent, interment after repsective deceased and died 6 May 1683, aged 76 years by town record and his widow died 24 September following.

JEREMIAH THOMAS, Marshfield, son I suppose of the first Nathaniel Thomas, had Nathaniel, born 2 January 1686; Sarah, 25 December 1687; Jeremiah, 14 February 1689; Elizabeth, 19 November 1690; Mary, 5 June 1692; Lydia, 26 March 1694; Thankful, 30 June 1695; Jedediah, 19 August 1698; Bethia, 27 March 1701; Ebenezer, 1 November 1703; and Priscilla, 13 October 1705.

JOHN THOMAS, Marshfield 1643, possibly is the adventurer who embarked at London, in the Hopewell, September 1635, aged 14, may have been at Salem 1646, but married 21 December 1648, Sarah Marshfield, daughter of James Pitney of Marshfield, probably had John, as in the will of page 1663, he is titled senior.

JOHN THOMAS, New Haven, had Elizabeth, born 15 March 1649; Samuel, 5 September 1651; Tabitha, 18 December 1653; all probably baptized 12 February 1654; and Joseph, 10 November 1661; both baptized in the right of his wife Tabitha, but all the dates of these baptisms in Genealogical Registrar IX. 362, was wrong. He was a freeman 1669, a proprietor 1685, and father also of Daniel, John, and Sarah, all named with the other four, probably the younger brood, in his will of 1670. He died 15 December 1671. Sarah married 14 December 1658, William Wilmot; and Elizabeth married January 1674, John Holt.

JOHN THOMAS, New Haven, son of the preceding, married 1671, Lydia Parker, daughter of Edward Parker of the same, had Sarah, born 13 December 1672; Abigail, 21 November 1674; John, 4 March 1676; Hannah, 26 April 1678; Josiah, 15 January 1680; Rebecca, 20 September 1681 or 2; Jeremiah, 16 February 1685; and perhaps others.

JOHN THOMAS, Stratford, of which I know only the curious caution, derived in part from the will of Reverend Adam Blakeman, 16 March 1665, in which he gave £5 to his daughter Dorothy (the widow of his son John, wife died so long before as 1662) "if she married not John Thomas and shall take her friends' consent in the matter or continued a widow" and in part from the decision of a court, 10 October 1665, related to a reference of the claim of Thomas to the person of the widow who probably had given encouragement to another suitor. Poor Thomas lost by the award, we may presume, for on 31 October 1665, the widow married Francis Hall. See Goodwin's Genealogy Notes.

JOHN THOMAS, Woodbury 1690 perhaps, but not probably son of the preceding, had John, baptized 30 August 1695; Samuel, 10 September 1699; and Thomas, 5 March 1701. Of one

JOHN THOMAS, who died at Framingham, 1730, Farmer in MS relates that his father was one of the first settlers of Boston, to which tradition his judgment would have yielded little credit, had it not been assailed on it weak side; for the story went on, that he, the Framingham, man, was upwards of 100 years old. Now only one man ever reaching his century at Framingham and that was Isaac Clark, while the names of sixty-eight persons in Framingham who died at the age of 85 and upwards, furnished us by Barry, do not include any Thomas. The first part of the myth, then, may not be more than ten years beyond the truth, but his example of longevity is sixteen years at least, short of the pretence.

JOSEPH THOMAS, Springfield, son of Rowland Thomas, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 1674; a child 1675; another 1676, who all died soon; Samuel, 1677; the preceding, all born at Hatfield, whence he removed probably to Springfield, and lastly to Lebanon; but at Springfield may have been born most of the other children Mary, 29 December 1679; Joseph, 14 June 1682; Rowland, 26 March 1685; Sarah, 5 February 1687; Ebenezer, 24 November 1688; Josiah, 7 October 1690; and Mercy, 12 December 1692; swore allegiance 8 February 1679, and was administered a freeman 1690.

NATHANIEL THOMAS, Marshfield, 1643, son of William Thomas, born in England about 1606, probably came with his father 1640, may have brought wife and child William; had Nathaniel, born 1643, and daughters certainly, Mary; Elizabeth, born 1646; and Dorothy; perhaps one or more born in England, named in the will of their grandfather and died 13 February 1675. He was Lieutenant and soon made Captain. Mary married Simon Ray of Block Island, as Miss Thomas tells.

NATHANIEL THOMAS, Marshfield, son of the preceding, married 19 January 1664, Deborah Jacobs, youngest daughter of Nicholas Jacobs of Hingham, had Nathaniel, Joseph, Deborah, Dorothy, William, Elisha, Joshua, Caleb, Isaac, and Mary; of who Dorothy born 6 November 1670, married 20 November 1688, Joseph Otis. His wife died 17 June 1696, and he took 3 November following second wife at Boston, Elizabeth, widow of Captain William Condy (but the marriage certificate by Cotton Mather is of Elizabeth Dolberry) who died 11 October 1713, if we believe the inscription on the gravestone; was Representative 1672, and seven years more, also at Boston, under the new Charter 1692, had served in Philip's war as a Captain on the first outbreak, and was of the Massachusetts Council, died 2 by town record but 22 October 1718, in his 76th year by the gravestone. His daughter Deborah married 1 December 1692, John Croad.

PETER THOMAS, Boston, son of George Thomas, married Elizabeth Burrows, daughter of the Reverend George Burrows (who had on 19 August 1692 suffered by judicial murder under Stoughton, at which Cotton Mather assisted) and George, Elias, Peter, William, and Moses. This last is head of a numerous and distinguished progeny.

RICE THOMAS, or RISE THOMAS, Kittery, 1647 submitted to Massachusetts November 1652, was of Boston 1654, then 38 years old.

ROWLAND THOMAS, Springfield, 1646, married 14 April 1647, Sarah Chapin, daughter of Samuel Chapin, had Joseph, born 6 January 1648, died next year; Samuel, 2 March 1649, died in few days; Mary, 25 March 1650, died in few days; Joseph, again, 25 March 1651; Benjamin, 23 May 1653; Josiah, 4 April 1655, died soon; Josiah, again, 28 October 1657, died in few days; Samuel, again, 6 May 1662, died at 39 years unmarried; a daughter 14 September 1666, who married 1692, James Warriner the second; Mary, 9 January 1669, died next year; and Mercy 15 May 1671, who married 30 March 1689 John Bagg; besides two others of who neither lived long enough to find a name, so that of 13 only 5 children lived to adult age. He took oath of allegiance 31 December 1678, or next day, had been at Hadley 1669, and perhaps at Westfield 1670; his wife died 5 August 1684; and he died at Springfield 21 February 1698.

SAMUEL THOMAS, Marshfield, son perhaps of William Thomas the second, married 27 May 1680, Mercy Ford, daughter of the second William Ford, but I know no more except his death 2 September 1720.

THOMAS THOMAS, the first name in the list of passengers in the William and Francis, who arrived at Boston, 5 June 1632, having sailed from London, 9 March before, was only placed there, as I am wholly satisfied to befool the officers who might make disagreeable inquiry. See 4 Massachusetts history Collection I. 92.

WILLIAM THOMAS, Newbury, came in the Mary Ann of Yarmouth 1637, embarked in May, aged 16, unmarried husbandman of Great Comberton in County Worcester [See 4 Massachusetts Histo. Collection I. 99], married 8 March 1666, Susanna, widow of Robert Rogers, who by this marriage had no children, and died 29 March 1677. He died 30 September 1690.

WILLIAM THOMAS, Marshfield, about 1640, made a freeman of the Colony 17 March 1642, had come, I think, with Reverend Richard Blinman, Hugh Caulkins, and other pious persons from the principle of Wales, or the West of England not in 1630, as Farmer had it, and Miss Thomas repeats, merely, I suppose, out of reverence for the inscription on the gravestone called him "one of the founders of New Plymouth Colony" as if a man of his reputation and importance would not many years earlier be made a freeman or mortuary legends applied in a subsequent age were not proverbial for lack of precision. He was chosen Assistant 1642, and so continued except in 1645 and 6 to his last year, died August 1651, aged 78 nearly. His will of 9 July preceding, in abstract in Genealogical Registrar IV. 319.

WILLIAM THOMAS, Marshfield, son perhaps of the preceding, but more probably of the first Nathaniel Thomas, and Miss Thomas says, in 1638, born in England, of which we know only that he died unmarried 21 by record but by gravestone 30 March 1718 in 80th year.

WILLIAM THOMAS, Newton, by wife Elizabeth, had William born 31 August 1687; and by second wife Ann, widow of Thomas Lovering of Watertown, who bore him no children, married 29 August 1695, had Joanna, born 28 October following. If Jackson be correct, who adds that he died 1697. Seventeen of this name at Harvard three at Yale, and seventeen at all the other New England Colleges are found by Farmer as graduates in 1834.

AMBROSE THOMPSON, AMBROSE TOMSON, AMBROSE THOMSON, or AMBROSE TOMPSON, Woodbury, son of the first John Thompson of Stratford, by wife Sarah, had John, Ambrose, and other children before 1701, but had a second wife before 1706. Grievous was the error of Goodwin, 254, in making his wife Sarah to be widow of Benjamin Beach.

ANTHONY THOMPSON, ANTHONY TOMSON, ANTHONY THOMSON, or ANTHONY TOMPSON, New Haven, 1639, brother of the second John Thompson and first William Thompson of the same, probably came with Governor Eaton, with wife and two children John and Anthony, had Bridget born here, and by second wife Catharine, had three more children: Hannah, baptized 8 June 1645; Lydia, 25 (not 24, as the careless church record has it) July 1647; and probably posthumous; Ebenezer, 15 October 1648; and he had some months before made his will 1648. His daughter Bridget married John Bowers who became first minister at Derby; Hannah married a Staunton; Lydia married 20 September 1665, Isaac Crittenden; and the widow married 14 July 1652, Nicholas Camp of Milford.

ANTHONY THOMPSON, ANTHONY TOMSON, ANTHONY THOMSON, or ANTHONY TOMPSON, Milford, son of the preceding, had no wife or children, and died before middle age, in his will of 26 December 1654, gives his property to brother John Thompson, own sister Bridget, and three half sisters, children of goodwife Campbell who had been second wife of his father.

ARCHIBALD THOMPSON, ARCHIBALD TOMSON, ARCHIBALD THOMSON, or ARCHIBALD TOMPSON, Marblehead 1637, was drowned November 1641, as Winthrop tells, II. 43.

BENJAMIN THOMPSON, BENJAMIN TOMSON, BENJAMIN THOMSON, or BENJAMIN TOMPSON, Braintree, son of Reverend William Thompson, of some distinction as a physician, schoolmaster, town clerk 1696, and even poet, monoculus inter coecos; yet more claims our regard as leaving at his death 13 April 1714, eight children and 28 grandchildren. His wife was Susanna Kirtland, daughter probably of Philip Kirtland, the first of Lynn; their children were Abigail, born at Boston, 25 November 1670; Susanna, 10 June 1673; Ann, 2 December 1677; both at Charlestown; Elinor, 29 November 1679, at Braintree, as were the others; Benjamin, 8 November 1682; Elizabeth, 14 January 1685; Philip, 26 July 1687; Sarah, 23 September 1689; and Mary, 29 October 1692; and the school master adds to the record quos omnes Deus ominpotens, sui filii unigeniti ac servatoris nostri meritis vita eterna dignetur. His wife died he says, 27 July 1693. I judge he was keeping the school at Roxbury, where his daughter Mary died 28 March 1700. Having been graduates at Harvard before Cotton Mather was born, he gained the advantage as master of the Boston grammar school of helping forward the precocious youth, who in burdensome gratitude, enlivens the Magnalia III. 160, with the strains that his cousin Whiting's death drew from Thompson.

DANIEL THOMPSON, DANIEL TOMSON, DANIEL THOMSON, or DANIEL TOMPSON, Newbury, said to be 40 years old in 1678, if the list in Genealogical Registrar VII. 350 be not wrong, as by the silence of Coffin may be feared.

DAVID THOMPSON, DAVID TOMSON, DAVID THOMSON, or DAVID TOMPSON, Piscataqua, sent out by Gorges in 1623, removed about 1626, to that Island in Boston harbor, ever since called by his name, of which it is said his agent, William Trevore, had taken possession 1619, as is supposed to be Province by evidence of an Indians sagamore of Tevore himself and of Captain Standish; but the value of such testimony is small. See the note of Deane, on Bradford's history 209. It belongs to the town of Dorchester, but granted by our government to Thompson and there he died about 1628, leaving infant child John.

EBENEZER THOMPSON, EBENEZER TOMSON, EBENEZER THOMSON, or EBENEZER TOMPSON, Guilford, son of the fist Anthony Thompson of New Haven, married June 1671, Deborah Dudley, daughter of William Dudley of Guilford, had son Jabesh, born 16 October 1672, died young; and John, 1674, who died early; was propounded for a freeman in 1669; but probably died before middle age, his will of 16 August 1676, recited that he was "about 28 years old." It gave his property 1/3 to wife, 2/3 to son John; and his inventory was brought in 6 November following. He is called a Scotchman, but this must have regarded to his father and as the number of the name of John was unusually great, among the Thompsons, most of who would be english yet one probably was from the Northern kingdom.

EDMUND THOMPSON, EDMUND TOMSON, EDMUND THOMSON, or EDMUND TOMPSON, Salem 1637, from the neighborhood of Framingham, in County Sufflk, where he had married Martha Fiske, daughter of John Fiske, had Martha; Edmund; Thomas, baptized 12 February 1643; and Hannah, baptized 4 July 1647; all born in New England, administered of the church at Salem 29 December 1639; went home and lived at Yarmouth, there had three more children who died infants: John, Esther, and John, again; was a sea Captain, and in the fine tract of Suffolk emigrants, by Mr. Hunter, 3 Massachusetts history Collection X. 159, he quotes Candler's MS as saying, that after the death of Charles I he served the States of Holland. He was son of John Thompson of Holkham, County Norfolk.

EDWARD THOMPSON, EDWARD TOMSON, EDWARD THOMSON, or EDWARD TOMPSON came in the Mayflower 1620, died 4 December before the ship reached Plymouth from Cape Cod. He was a servant of William White.

EDWARD THOMPSON, EDWARD TOMSON, EDWARD THOMSON, or EDWARD TOMPSON, Newbury, son of Deacon Samuel Thompson of Braintree, says Farmer in MS. Taught the school several years before and after leaving college began to preach at Simsbury, June 1687, by wife Sarah, had Samuel Thompson, born 1 September 1691, Harvard College 1710 (the minister of Gloucester who died 8 December 1724); and Edward, 14 May 1696; was ordained at Marshfield, 14 October 1696, and had William Thompson, 26 April 1697, Harvard College 1718 (minister at Scarborough, father of Reverend John Thompson of Berwick, Harvard College 1765, who died 21 December 1828, aged 88); John, 1699; and Joseph, 1704; besides daughters Sarah; Ann; and Abigail. He died suddenly 16 March 1705; according to the church record in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 229, though the inscription on his gravestone Genealogical Registrar IV. 316, reads 10 March and the diligent Edit. had (Genealogical Registrar VII. 278) correct. Farmer on that authority as if the gravestone had suffered less by exposure to the weather, than the record of the church in a century and a half.

GEORGE THOMPSON, GEORGE TOMSON, GEORGE THOMSON, or GEORGE TOMPSON, Lynn, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 25 October 1659; removed to Reading, there had John, born 24 March 1661; and died 7 September 1674. In his will of 4 December 1669, of which he made wife Sarah executrix, he names children John, Mary, George, and Sarah; and by the codicil of 1 July 1674, son Jonathan, all minors.

HENRY THOMPSON, HENRY TOMSON, HENRY THOMSON, or HENRY TOMPSON, Cambridge, but of Boston perhaps short time after a freeman 1670, married 27 April 1669, Elizabeth Stedman, daughter of John Stedman, widow of Nathaniel Upham, after being his wife only 15 days, had Elizabeth, born 29 January 1670; and Henry, 1673, who died Sept 1690. He was called 1669, merchant.

JAMES THOMPSON, JAMES TOMSON, JAMES THOMSON, or JAMES TOMPSON, Charlestown, with wife Elizabeth, administered of the church in the autumn of 1633, a freeman 14 May 1634, was, says Frothingham, 82, one of the first selectmen of Woburn. His wife by whom he had Jonathan, perhaps born on this side of the ocean, as surely was Simon, on the other side, died 8 November 1643; and he married 15 February following Susanna, widow of Thomas Blodget of Cambridge, had James, born 24 January 1646, or 7, died soon; James, again, about 1649; and perhaps others. His wife died 10 February 1661; and he died 1682.

JAMES THOMPSON, JAMES TOMSON, JAMES THOMSON, or JAMES TOMPSON, Woburn, son of the preceding, a freeman 1674, married 27 January 1675, Hannah Walker, had Hannah, born 31 December following; Joshua, 15 September 1677; James, May 1680; Ebenezer, 26 July 1683; and his wife died 4 February 1686; and by second wife Abigail, he had Richard, 21 March 1688; Abigail, 30 December 1689; Simon, 19 October 1691; was a Lieutenant, and died 4 September 1693.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Watertown 1634, or earlier, a freeman 6 May 1635, by wife Margaret, had John, buried at 4 months 10 April 1636; and Samuel, who died young, buried 28 March 1642; but the father had died before aged 38 years and was buried 28 February 1639.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, New Haven, first of many of the name there, called senior, brought several children probably with wife from England here, perhaps, by another wife had Rebecca and Abigail, twins 26 January 1652; and Sarah, 30 April 1654, was one of the contract settlers in 1639, and died about 1656. His widow married that year Thomas Harrison; but the estate was not settled for several years after her death. Of seven children entitled to shares, John, Joseph, Hannah, Mary, Rebecca, Abigail, and Sarah, the first, as eldest, having double shares, only the three last are mentioned in the record of births. His daughter Abigail married first, Jonathan Curtis, next, Nicholas Huse, and died 1731, widow of Samuel Sherman.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Fairfield, died 1657, leaving widow Elizabeth, with children Elizabeth, aged 13; Mary, 8; John, 6; and Esther 3. His widow 25 December of that year it is said, made contract of marriage with Daniel Finch.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Concord, may be he who came from London, in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, aged 22, had John, born 1642.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Stratford, had very good estate and good numbers to divide among, as by his will of 17 July 1678, probated next month. We find wife Mirable mentioned besides sons John, born September 1641; and Ambrose, 1 January 1652; daughters Sarah, 1642, who married 10 December 1662, John Hurd; Abigail, 2 May 1646, who married 1670, Jonathan Curtis; Esther, January 1650, who married 22 March 1677, Samuel Galpin, and died next year soon after father; and Mary, the youngest, 20 July 1655, who married Matthew Mitchell, and died 18 January 1711.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, New Haven, brother of Anthony Thompson, married 25 February 1651, Ellen Harrison, had Mary, born 24 April 1652; Ann, 22 September 1654; both baptized (by record of church) 17 September 1654; Elizabeth, born 3 June 1657; Lydia, 13 March 1664, died young; probably Sarah, 1667, died at two years, and he died 14 December 1674. He was married by Governor Endicot, as Boston, 4 August 1656, to Ann Vicaris; but who the bride was, may be hard to find. How inconsistent the birth of Ann found from town record is with the record of baptisms will be observed by some, who may desire to know which date to reject, and from Mr. White, who furnished to Genealogical Registrar IX. that very valuable list of baptisms, I am instructed that the town record is usually the true one, and the church record frequently false, or wonderful, careless rather. Probably this was kept by Reverend John Davenport, less precise in facts than in doctrine. But the writer of that record little considered to what vexations he would subject those who came in a future age to consult his ambiguous oracle. Often by omission as well as commission, the teacher is blameworthy; and the scrupulous Mr. White was misled to ascribe, page 362, three children to this John Thompson, by wife Ellen, children Hannah, Lydia, and Ebenezer, baptized 1645, 7 and 8, respectively, not one of which was hers, as her marriage was some years later than their baptisms. These three belong to his brother Anthony Thompson, whose wife perhaps was the sister Thompson mentioned in the book by Mr. White mistaken for Ellen. She long lived a widow, disposed of three daughters in marriage, Mary, November 1674, to Samuel Lines; Ann or Hannah, 25 December 1673, to Abraham Bradley; and Elizabeth, 29 October 1677, to Benjamin Bradlee; and made her will October 1689, given her property to them.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Plymouth 1643, had John, born 24 November 1649, died soon; was probably Representative for Middleborough, 1674 and eight years following.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Dorchester, son of that David Thompson the first settler known in Boston harbor, had confirmation of his right to the Island given by our General Court 1648; in April 1650, pledged to two Bristol merchants the Island for a large sum, payable in codfish at Marblehead or Isle of Shoals; but the creditors had it in 1658, by appraisal of Robert Sedgwick and Richard Sprague, for less than amount of the excoriation. He or another John Thompson was of Weymouth, the freeman of 1653.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Fairfield, eldest, son of John Thompson of Stratford, was a man of so great consequence, as in 1663, to have the General Court of Connecticut interpose to attempt adjustment of his difficulties with the church there, is in the freemen's list of 1669.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Barnstable, had Esther, born 28 July 1652; Elizabeth, 28 January 1654; Sarah, 4 April 1657; Lydia, 5 October 1659; Jacob, 24 April 1662; and Thomas, 19 October 1664.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, New Haven, 1659, called for distinction the farmer, married at Branford, perhaps 29 March or 22 May 1666, Priscilla Powell, daughter of Thomas Powell, had John, born 6 August 1667; Priscilla, 7 August 1671; Samuel, 29 January 1674, died soon; Samuel, again, 1 May 1677; Abigail, 24 February 1680; and Ann, 20 March 1683, who probably died young; and he died 13 February 1694. This John is probably son of the first John Thompson of the same, lived at East Haven, and made his will the same day he died, named four children only, the two sons and two daughters Priscilla Chidsy, or Chedsey, wife of Ebenezer, and Abigail, then unmarried.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Wethersfield, before 1640, removed in few years.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Farmington, eldest son of Thomas Thompson of the same, propounded for a freeman 1670, married 24 October of that year Mary Steele, daughter of the second John Steele of the same, had John, born 29 December 1671; Thomas, 30 June 1674, but another account says, 13 January 1675; Samuel, 29 December 1676; Joseph, 25 March 1679, died in few weeks; James, 30 May, 1680; Mary, baptized 1 October 1682, who lived over 100 years; Ebenezer, 23 November or by another report 21 December 1684; and Nathaniel, 16 January 1687.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Portsmouth, administered a freeman of Massachusetts 1672.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, New Haven, the mariner, so called for distinction, propounded for a freeman 1671, and was proprietor 1685. Mr. Judd thinks he was not relative of the other Johns, but had a child, perhaps Mary, in September 1667; Samuel, born 12 May 1669; and Sarah, 16 January 1672.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Stratford, son of John Thompson of the same, called junior, was propounded for a freeman 1671, died 1681, had no wife or children, and by his will helps us to certainty in the field where doubt was most diffused the affinity of members of so common a name. Thus to his mother to John, son of brother Ambrose, to children of John Hurd, who married his sister Sarah, to children of Jonathan Curtis and sister Abigail, to a cousin, children of Matthew Mitchell, who was, we know the first of several we find gifts, and the silence as to Esther, would almost serve to show, without the record that she was daughter.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Reading, by Eaton marked as one of the early settlers.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Rehoboth, married 19 September 1682, Sarah Smith, but to tell whose daughter she was, or whose son he was, I utterly despair.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, New Haven, mariner, was a proprietor 1685, as was also another

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, of the same called junior, who may have been son of the one of the preceding, or of William Thompson.

JOHN THOMPSON, JOHN TOMSON, JOHN THOMSON, or JOHN TOMPSON, Salisbury 1690, that year married a Brewer.

JONATHAN THOMPSON, JONATHAN TOMSON, JONATHAN THOMSON, or JONATHAN TOMPSON, Woburn, son of James Thompson of the same, married 28 November 1655, Susanna Blodget, daughter of Thomas Blodget, had Susanna, born 4 July 1661; Jonathan, 28 September 1663; James, 1666, died soon; James, again, 27 June 1667; Sarah, 1 June 1670; Simon, 15 June 1673; and Ebenezer, 18 August 1676; and died 20 October 1691. Jonathan Thompson, his son was great-grandfather of Sir Benjamin Thompson, knighted by George III, the distinguished philosopher better known as Count Rumford, with who title was Honorable by the King of Bavaria, who was born at Woburn 26 March 1753. Farmer had once supposed that the Count was descendant of Reverend William Thompson, to which mistake he was led by the first President Adams; and the correction is due to the investigation of Francis Jackson of Boston.

JOSEPH THOMPSON, JOSEPH TOMSON, JOSEPH THOMSON, or JOSEPH TOMPSON, Wallingford, perhaps son of the first John Thompson of New Haven, had married probably as second wife the widow of Isaac Royce of the same, and was dead in 1712, when his heirs are mentioned.

JOSEPH THOMPSON, JOSEPH TOMSON, JOSEPH THOMSON, or JOSEPH TOMPSON, Billerica, son of Reverend William Thompson, married 24 July 1662, Mary Bracket, daughter of Richard Bracket of Braintree, at Billerica was school master, town clerk, Ensign 1678, and Lieutenant 1683, selectman, Captain, Deacon many years, and Representative 1692 under the new Charter also 99, 1700, and 1, and died 13 October 1732. His widow Mary, a second wife, died 9 October 1743, aged 91, Farmer says.

MAURICE THOMPSON, MAURICE TOMSON, MAURICE THOMSON, or MAURICE TOMPSON, Gloucester, a London merchant engaged in trade to Canada, as early as 1631, was much desired by our government to settle with us, having In 1639, begun a fishing trade at Cape Ann, but only a transient visitor. If he ever came, which is improbable. Winthrop I. 307.

MILES THOMPSON, MILES TOMSON, MILES THOMSON, or MILES TOMPSON, Kittery 1659.

ROBERT THOMPSON, ROBERT TOMSON, ROBERT THOMSON, or ROBERT TOMPSON, Boston, a man of distinction in London, where he married I conjecture, a sister of Governor Hopkins of Connecticut by which Colony he was much confided in, was a transient resident here 1639, bought the old church edifice and ground on which It stood in State Street for £160 in 1639. See note in Winthrop I. 318. Yet he was satisfied I fear, with the outward benefit, for he did not join the worshipping assembly. But he was a powerful friend of Massachusetts and for service our Court made grant to him of 500 acres. In Hutchinson Collection some letters from him show good disposition and judgment.

SAMUEL THOMPSON, SAMUEL TOMSON, SAMUEL THOMSON, or SAMUEL TOMPSON, Braintree, son of Reverend William Thompson, born in England, married 25 April 1656, Sarah Shepard, daughter of Edward Shepard, had Sarah, born 27 April 1657, died soon; Deboroah, 25 March 1660; Samuel, 6 November 1662; Edward Thompson, 20 April 1665, Harvard College 1684; Abigail, 10 November 1667; Sarah, again, 28 April 1670, died young; Hannah, 5 August 1672; William, baptized 11 April 1675, died soon; William, again, 3 June 1676; and Sarah, born 1 January 1679; Deacon 1679, though not found in the list of a freeman, was Representative 1676-86 except 81 and 2, and again 1691. His wife died 15 January 1680, aged 43, and in 1680 he had second wife Elizabeth Billings, perhaps daughter of Roger Billings of Dorchester, who died 5 November 1706, aged 69; and he died 18 June 1695.

SAMUEL THOMPSON, SAMUEL TOMSON, SAMUEL THOMSON, or SAMUEL TOMPSON, New Haven, married 14 November 1695, Rebecca Bishop, youngest daughter of Honorable James Bishop.

SIMON THOMPSON, SIMON TOMSON, SIMON THOMSON, or SIMON TOMPSON, Ipswich 1636, born about 1610, had Mercy, who married 26 January 1653, Isaiah Wood; and Sarah, who married 16 May 1655, Abraham Fitts; and he took second wife 21 August 1656, Rachel Glover, was a freeman 2 June 1641, and died 1676. His will, 25 March of that year provided for widow, names no sons, and seven of Wood's children, made Wood and Fitts, executors.

SIMON THOMPSON, SIMON TOMSON, SIMON THOMSON, or SIMON TOMPSON, Woburn, eldest son of James Thompson the first, married 19 December 1643, Mary Converse, daughter of Edward Converse, had John, born 4 April 1645, died week following; Sarah, 20 February 1647; James, 29 March 1649; a daughter 25 January 1652, whose name, not then given we find to be Mary, when she died 2 February 1662; Ann, 30 July 1655; Rebecca, May 1658; was a freeman 1648, and became a purchaser of Chelmsford, but died in early manhood, making his will 15 May 1658, in which he provides for the son and three daughters, names his father and wife and her father and her two brothers Josiah and James.

THOMAS THOMPSON, THOMAS TOMSON, THOMAS THOMSON, or THOMAS TOMPSON, Farmington, may be that youth of 18 years who embarked in the Abigail at London, 1 July 1635, married 14 April 1646, at Hartford, Ann Welles, daughter of Governor Thomas Welles, had there, Beatrice, baptized 17 January 1647; John, born 1649; Thomas, 1651; Mary, 7 June 1653; and Esther, posthumous, baptized 17 June 1655; the last four born at Farmington, where he died 25 April of that year. His widow married Anthony Hawkins; and Beatrice married a Parker; Mary married a Hawley; and Esther married Samuel Gridley.

THOMAS THOMPSON, THOMAS TOMSON, THOMAS THOMSON, or THOMAS TOMPSON, Easthampton Long Island 1650.

THOMAS THOMPSON, THOMAS TOMSON, THOMAS THOMSON, or THOMAS TOMPSON, Farmington, son of Thomas Thompson of the same, was administered a freeman 1677, married Elizabeth daughter of William as Porter thinks, but in my opinion of Arthur Smith, the first, had Elizabeth; Thomas, born 25 March 1679; Arthur, 17 October 1680; Philoeutheros, baptized 12 November 1682; John, 14 December 1684; Margaret, 20 February 1687; Ann, 10 February 1689; Samuel, 18 October 1691; and Daniel. But he had by a second wife Abigail (who murdered him); and another child strangely named Mercy, born 15 October 1706, by his widow in prison. On 14 December 1705, the wife threw a pair of shears at her husband of which the point penetrated the brain, causing his death in few days. She was convicted but after one or two reprieves, the sentence was executed. His estate was divided in 1708 to only five living children Thomas, Samuel, Ann, Daniel, and Mary, besides two children of daughter Elizabeth Woodruff, deceased, probably wife of a son of second Matthew Woodruff.

WILLIAM THOMPSON, WILLIAM TOMSON, WILLIAM THOMSON, or WILLIAM TOMPSON, Braintree, had been matriculated at Brazen Nose College Oxford, 28 January 1620, at the age of 21, but his degree is not found in the Fasti; had been a preacher in Winwick, a parish of his native Lancashire before he came to our side of the sea, in 1637, and was engaged first at Kittery or York, but after the church institution at Braintree 17 September 1639, was ordained in County with Reverend Henry Flint 19 November of that year if Winthrop I. 324 be followed though Hancock in his Centennial Prefers 24 September Dr. Lunt, another successor in the same pulpit, in his fine celebration of the second Centennial decides for November. He brought wife Abigail and sons Samuel, William Thompson, Harvard College 1653, perhaps daughters Mary, and Elinor, who was born 1626; was a freeman 13 May 1640; had here, Joseph, born 1 May 1640; Benjamin Thompson, 14 July 1642, Harvard College 1662; and his wife died 1 January 1643, while he was absent on a mission with Reverend John Knowles, and Thomas James, to Virginia begun in October preceding. Our government had in 1640 granted him 120 acres. By second wife Ann, widow of Simon Crosby of Cambridge he had Ann, born 3 Mary. or 1 May, as the numeral for the day and month may respectively be read, in 1648 or 9. He was made a freeman 1656, but "fell into the Devil's bath." as the Magnalia III. cap. IVII. calls his state of melancholy and gave up his public minister seven years and died 10 December 1666 in 68^th year. The widow died 11 October 1675, aged 68. Mary married 3 December 1641, Joseph Wise of Roxbury; and Elinor married 1644, William Veazey, and next John French, and died 23 April 1711. Of this family it is observed that they always discard the second letter of the name, though Mather, whose biography is exceedingly meagre, prints it as here.

WILLIAM THOMPSON, WILLIAM TOMSON, WILLIAM THOMSON, or WILLIAM TOMPSON, New Haven 1647, brother of Anthony Thompson, had perhaps accompanied Governor Eaton, had neither wife nor children but died 24 April 1683, and to his will of 6 October preceding, we owe very much of our knowledge of wives and children of others. He gave property to John, son of his brother Anthony Thompson; to John and William, sons of his brother John; to Bridget Bowers, Ann Staunton, and Lydia Cruttenden, daughters of brother Anthony; and to daughters of brother John, viz. Mary Lines, Ann Bradley and her husband Abraham, and Elizabeth Bradley and her husband Benjamin.

WILLIAM THOMPSON, WILLIAM TOMSON, WILLIAM THOMSON, or WILLIAM TOMPSON, New London, son probably of Reverend William Thompson of Braintree, born in England, after his degree at Harvard was a preacher at Springfield 1654-6, and married 19 November 1655, Catharine Treat, daughter of the first Richard Treat of Wethersfield, was employed in 1658, by the Commissioners of the United Colony acting for the London Society property Gospel, and some years succeeded as missionary to the Pequot Indians, a freeman 1660; but in 1664, he gave his wife all his property by deed "supposed mysteriously near death and about to take a voyage in Virginia". From there he wrote to his wife's brother James, 29 June 1665, and this is the last that is known of him, though in the Collection catalogue the year of his death has never been given so that, from the blank in Mather, Farmer supposed him living in 1698, when probably he had left the world 30 years before. Yet a suspicion reasonable arises, from the Connecticut Colony record I. 432, directed the constable to secure property to amount of a certain debt, that his object was to escape creditors, rather than to preach the gospel.

WILLIAM THOMPSON, WILLIAM TOMSON, WILLIAM THOMSON, or WILLIAM TOMPSON, Dover 1656, removed to Kittery, there about 1676 died leaving children John, aged 18; William, 16; Robert, 14; James, who was cripple, 11; Alexander, 6; and Judith, 2; and the second and third were then apprentices at Dover.

WILLIAM THOMPSON, WILLIAM TOMSON, WILLIAM THOMSON, or WILLIAM TOMPSON, Dover, son of the preceding, married at Portsmouth 4 September 1682, Mary Lovering, who may have been daughter of John Lovering of Dover.

WILLIAM THOMPSON, WILLIAM TOMSON, WILLIAM THOMSON, or WILLIAM TOMPSON, Stonington, blacksmith, died 1705, leaving widow Bridget. By the record of our General Court he seems in his youth to have been fined for proposing marriage with Sarah Coggan, without leave of her friends at Stonington, in 1653. See Volumes III and IV.

WILLIAM THOMPSON, WILLIAM TOMSON, WILLIAM THOMSON, or WILLIAM TOMPSON, Lyme, son of the preceding, probably married 19 July 1678, Philadelphia Tileston, had Rachel, Joanna, who died soon, and Philadelphia; but no more is known. Fifteen at Yale, and fourteen at Harvard of this name, including those who rejected the Harvard had been graduates 1853, and many at other New England Colleges.

ANDREW THORNCOMB, Boston, a bookseller in 1685, from London, as Thomas, in history printed II 414, mentioned. We can have no hestitation in presumed that he went back discouraged.

JOHN THORNDIKE, Beverly, perhaps son of Reverend Goere Thorndike, rector of Little Carleton, near Lowth, County Lincoln, baptized 23 July 1603, and brother of Reverend Herbert Thorndike, a prebend of Westminister, came to Boston as early as 1632, if not in the fleet with Winthrop, for he was one of the twelve allowed by the government 1 April 1633 to go to plant Ipswich, with the eldest son of the Governor. We are ignorant who was his wife, but think her name was Elizabeth, and know that he had six daughters Sarah, Elizabeth, Ann, Mary, Alice, and Martha, only son Paul. In 1668, he went to England. There had Alice, and Martha, baptized 10 April 1669, then of ripe years and made his will there, 29 July of that year, in contemplation of his return and by that instruction it is found, that daughter Ann was insane, Alice and Martha in England with him. Yet he died before coming back, and was buried 3 November 1668 in the cloisters. Sarah married 10 December 1661, John Low of Ipswich; and Elizabeth married December 1662, that John Proctor of Salem, who was hanged 19 August 1692 for witchcraft but happily she died before the fanaticism began.

PAUL THORNDIKE, Beverly, only son of the preceding, was baptized 18 April 1663, aged about 20 years, by the dean at Westminister Abbey, married 28 April 1668, Mary Patch or Margaret Patch, daughter of James Patch, had Mary, born 8 January 1669; Elizabeth, 14 October 1670; Hannah, 14 May 1673; John, 22 January 1675; Paul, 17 April 1677; Herbert; and Martha; was Lieutenant 1677, a freeman 1680, and Representative 1681. Probably all the eleven graduates at Harvard College are his descendants.

JOHN THORNDON, Newport, one of the founders, 1644, of the baptized children there, says Callender, 63. It may well be thought that the death was designed by the writer for t.

SAMUEL THORNE, a soldier of Gallop’s Company 1690, for the mad expedition against Quebec, according to the list in Genealogical Registrar XIII, not in IX.

WILLIAM THORNE, of Boston, a laborer, lived at Muddy River, whose wife was of the church at Boston. The keeper of that record enhances his wrong, by mutilation. The name of the children baptized 23 March 1645, Desired Thorne, from who he withdraws the last syllable but I am happy to assure the admirers of a good name, that the evidence of the Roxbury church volume vindicates the whole truth. He was probably living at Lynn, when a freeman 2 May 1638, and Lewis mades him removed to Long Island 1642. If so, another

WILLIAM THORNE who is the same that in the town record of Roxbury is called Thomas Thorne, whose love of truth was so happily exemplified in the name, bestowed on his First Church at Roxbury under his true prefix of William, had Hannah, baptized 9 May 1646; on 17 April of the next year was administrator of the Boston church, and had Israel, baptized 14 July 1650. So he might well snap his fingers in contempt of the town clerk of Roxbury especially after John Acres of Boston had married his eldest daughter who joined the church at Roxbury 8 July 1666, and on the next Sunday triumphily brought to baptize her daughters Elizabeth and Desire Thorne by the Acres.

WILLIAM THORNE, New London, was from County Dorset, married 1676, Lydia Redfield, daughter of James Redfield, widow of Thomas Bailey.

THOMAS THORNELL, Boston, called Captain, died 11 March 1660; and I suppose was only transient resident.

EBENEZER THORNTON, Boston, son of Timothy Thornton of the same, married 15 May 1721, Elizabeth Gilbert, daughter of Captain Thomas Gilbert, had Elizabeth, born 4, baptized 10 March 1722; Experience, 6, baptized 7 February 1725; Timothy, 2, baptized 5 February 1727, whose son Thomas Gilbert Thornton of Saco was sole perpetuator of this family in the male line; Lydia, baptized 8 September 1728, died soon; Ebenezer, 27 October baptized 2 November 1729; Gilbert, 23, baptized 28 May 1732; and Lydia, again, baptized 29 March 1738; all of Mather's church. He removed to Watertown 1731, there his wife died 10 June 1740; and he married Mary Boylston, widow of Matthias Coussens, daughter perhaps of Richard Boylston, and died 12 June 1750.

PETER THORNTON, Boston, came in the Elizabeth 1635, aged 20, by wife Mary, had Joseph, born 5 April 1647; and one or two more. His widow brought inventory 9 February 1652, and evidence of a nuncupative will, by who all his property was given to her, to bring up the children. See Genealogical Registrar VIII. 57.

ROBERT THORNTON, who came in the Elizabeth 1635, from London, at the age of 11 years, was of Taunton, a carpenter; sold his estate there to the lady patroness Elizabeth Poole, and removed to Boston, married 13 November 1657, Mary, widow of Walter Merry, but went back to Taunton, there lived 1677, and 8.

THEOPHILUS THORNTON, Yarmouth, son of Reverend Thomas Thornton, born in England, was of Malden 1674, where he took oath of fidelity, was the year preceding, associated with a party of pioneers for settling at Worcester, but no more is heard of him.

THOMAS THORNTON, Dorchester, a freeman 3 September 1634, Dr. Harris thought came in 1630, but no mention of him is found before 1634, and in very few years he is heard of at Windsor, there was in good esteem, and had five children, but only Samuel is found by record to be born there, and that was 13 July 1645; and in 1647 alone, three daughters Thomas, Priscilla, and Ann. He was a tanner, or at least sold a tanyard to Elder John Strong.

THOMAS THORNTON, Stratford, of who very little is known except that he had Theophilus, born there, 10 June 1651; and after 1653 no more is heard of him at Stratford, but he was Representative 1651.

THOMAS THORNTON, Hartford, a tanner, perhaps son of Thomas Thornton of Windsor, had lived at Milford, there married 1674, Hannah Farrand, daughter of Nathaniel Farrand, had only child Samuel, who with wife Hannah are named in his will made 1694, though he lived to 22 September 1703.

THOMAS THORNTON, Yarmouth, came soon after the Bartholomew Act of 1662, bringing wife and children, not probably all he ever had, but the name of his wife is not mentioned. Nor do I find the University at which he was bred, or the life from where he was ejected. At Yarmouth he was as early as 18 June 1663, and about 1694 removed to Boston, where his son Thomas had in 1677 joined with Mather's church and died 15 February 1700, aged over 90 years. Sewall calls him very nearly 93. He was perhaps something advanced towards second childhood, when called by Cotton Mather, January 1694, to testify how Margaret Rule was raised from her bed by an invisible force, to touch the garret floor, "lifted up from all that under her," as many be read on page 23 of the London edition 1700 of "More Wonders of the Invisible World" by Robert Calef of Boston. But the witness may have been his son of the same name. Of his children we guess at the successfulness for the date of birth is unknown, and following Dr. Bond counting these seven: Ann, who married Nathaniel Hall of Yarmouth; Mary, married Judah Thacher, and died 30 November 1708, aged 68; Elizabeth married Joshua Gee, of Boston, and next Reverend Peter Thacher of Milton; Thomas; Theophilus; Priscilla, who died at 11 years whether at Boston or at Yarmouth is not indicated by Mather, who (though he tells of the father that he was "aged and faithful" adds not another syllable but) favors the youthful maid near the end of his book VI. with more than a half of one of the large following pages; and Timothy born about 1650.

THOMAS THORNTON, Watertown, administered into the church 19 August 1688, is by Bond, reputed son perhaps of the preceding, and one of the undertakers 1673, for settling of Worcester. I find him at Malden in 1674, taking oath of fidelity and apparently younger than Theophilus Thornton; yet no more can we gather.

TIMOTHY THORNTON, Boston, merchant son of Reverend Thomas Thornton, born in England, and Bond strangely thought he may have been eldest, though his earliest impression was that he was youngest, a freeman 1672, by wife Experience Brooking, perhaps sister of the first John Brooking, who died 23 March 1694, had Mary, born 2 April 1674; Thomas died young; Elizabeth, 16 November 1677; Timothy, 6 May 1681; Catharine, 16 April 1683; Experience, 23 February 1687; and Ebenezer, baptized 12 January 1690. He was Representative 1693, 4, and 5; and another wife Sarah, who died 3 December 1725, and he died 19 September 1726, buried 22nd. Elizabeth was in 1735, wife of Thomas Wade of Ipswich; Catharine married 4 October 1700, John Cannon; and next, 23 November 1705, Samuel Edwards, who died 17 June 1710; and for third husband 6 December 1716, Isaac Russell; and Experience married 24 September 1713, Ebenezer Wakefield, and next married a Collidge. When one of the Representatives for Boston, he was of the Committee charged with the service of issuing the first paper currency after the disastrious expedition of Phips against Quebec.

TIMOTHY THORNTON, Boston, probably not son of the preceding, married 1716, Elizabeth Danforth of Billerica, perhaps daughter of the second Jonathan Danforth of the same, had Timothy, born 5, baptized 7 April 1717; Danforth, 25 February baptized 1 March 1719; Samuel, 25, baptized 26 March 1721, died soon; Elizabeth, 1 October 1722, baptized 10 March following; Samuel, again, 6 December 1724, died young; Hannah, 7 November 1726; Thomas, 13 June 1729; Samuel, again, 25 October 1731; and Mary, 2 September 1736. But of the last 5 or 6, I feel less confidence, inasmuch as the record of baptisms in Mather's church does not concur with this account of the births.

WALTER THORNTON, came in the Susan and Ellen 1635, aged 36; but no more is known of him, unless we suppose the next name on the custom house list at London, Joanna Thornton, aged 44, to be related.

HENRY THORPE, Watertown, 1642, a freeman 1646, died 21 May 1672. He had a daughter married to Benjamin Bullard, who claimed the estate.

JAMES THORPE, Dedham, had James, baptized 27 July 1652; and Hannah, 24 September 1665, was a freeman 1690.

JOHN THORPE, Duxbury 1633, a carpenter, to who Winsor gives wife Alice, died in November that year.

JOHN THORPE, Scarborough, undertook to preach 1661, without good qualification and was silenced by our General Court.

NATHANIEL THORPE, New Haven, propounded for a freeman 1669, is probably the same as Tharpe. See that.

ROBERT THORPE, York, 1660, was perhaps, in 1638, the man who in December of that year our General Court advised not to overload a boat.

SAMUEL THORPE, New Haven, propounded for a freeman 1670, was perhaps son of William Thorpe, and brother of Nathaniel Thorpe, had Elizabeth, who became third wife of Abraham Doolittle.

THOMAS THORPE, Ipswich, married at Boston, 27 May 1656, Rebecca Milward, daughter of Thomas Milward of Gloucester, and he died about 1677.

TIMOTHY THRALL, Windsor, only son of William Thrall of the same, married 5 or 10 November 1659, Deborah Gunn, daughter of Thomas Gunn of the same, had Deborah, born 9 August 1660; Timothy, 7 December 1662; Mehitable, March 1665; Elizabeth, 1 May 1667; John, 8 June 1669, died soon; John, again, 5 June 1671; Martha, 31 May 1673; Thomas, 5 May 1675, died at 3 months; Thomas, again, 10 July 1676; Samuel, and Abigail 1681; and his wife died 7 January 1695. He died June 1697, leaving good estate.

WILLIAM THRALL, Windsor, among the first settlers, yet it does not seem certain that he was ever of Dorchester, but he served in the Pequot war, had only two children born at Windsor: Timothy, July 1641; and Philippa, probably earlier, for she married 5 November 1657, John Hosford. "Old goody Thrall died 30 July 1676," says the record, and he was about 72 years old when he made his will, December 1678, and died 3 August following.

ARTHUR THRASHER, or ARTHUR THRESHER, Newbury, married 21 April 1684, Mary Goodridge, perhaps daughter of Jeremiah Goodridge, had Dorothy, born 4 February 1692.

CHRISTOPHER THRASHER, or CHRISTOPHER THRESHER, Taunton 1643, had Israel, born 15 September 1648; and perhaps Hannah, who married 29 December 1672, Stephen Thrasher; and Sarah, who married 15 January 1679, Benjamin Leonard; and others.

FRANCIS THRASHER, or FRANCIS THRESHER, Milford 1686, a clothier, sold his house and land in 1690, and removed.

ISRAEL THRASHER, or ISRAEL THRESHER, Taunton, son of Christopher Thrasher, married 15 August 1676, Mary Caswell, daughter of Thomas Caswell of the same, had Mary, born 7 August following.

SAMUEL THRASHER, or SAMUEL THRESHER, Taunton, perhaps brother of the preceding, married 4 December perhaps 1683, Bethia Brooks of Rehoboth.

BARTHOLOMEW THREENEEDLES, Boston, married Damaris Hawkins, daughter of James Hawkins, had Elizabeth, born 16 June 1660; Benjamin, 5 June 1666; Damaris, 26 October 1670; James, 17 April 1673; Ruth, 27 February 1678; Sarah, 9 November 1679; and Susanna, 8 August 1688; as the copy of lost record in the City Clerk's office shows; but there may have been others, for my confidence is something abated by his given the name as Thredneedle. His will of 2 April 1700, probated 7 April 1702, of whom wife Damaris was executrix, makes it probable that the two eldest were not living, but the other son and four daughters Damaris Broffe, Mary Millings, Ruth, and Susanna being named render it certain that another daughter was born to him, and the testator's regard reaching to granddaughters Elizabeth Broffe, Mary Millings, and grandson Thomas Millings.

JOHN THROCKMORTON, or JOHN THROGMORTON, came with famous Roger Williams, in the Lion, embarked December 1 1630, at London, and arriving 5 February following at Nantascut, administered a freeman 18 May of the same year. He probably brought wife and was, in my judgment properly named.

JOHN THROCKMORTON, or JOHN THROGMORTON. Geo. is easily read thus from Jo. the common abbreviation. At least one with the surname seems enough for nothing more is ever heard of the freeman George, though on administration he was the prefix of responsibility.

JOHN THROCKMORTON, senior, or JOHN THROGMORTON, senior, at Providence owned allegiance 31 May 1666 to Charles II and, it is said, removed to Monmouth, New Jersey, there died before 1687. His daughter Patience married December 1655, John Coggeshall, the second, and died 7 September 1676. Both he and his wife were excommunicated by the church at Salem, under rule of Hugh Peter, at the same time, and for the same offences as Williams, his wife and other friends. They went to Rhode Island and were in good repute, he continued on freemen's list, 1655, at Providence.

JOHN THROCKMORTON, or JOHN THROGMORTON, Providence, called junior when in June 1668, he engaged allegiance.

WILLIAM THROOP, Bristol, was Representative 1691, then had five children, besides son-in-law.

JOHN THROPP, is the name of a Sergeant in the Company of Captain William Turner, on service 1676.

DAVID THROW, Springfield, took oath of allegiance 31 December 1678 or the next day.

JAMES THURBER, Rehoboth 1690. He was born in England 1660, and perhaps came over before marrying, or at least with not more than one of the children here named Elizabeth, probably died soon, or young; James, born 1685, who died at 26 years; John, 31 October 1687, died at 22 years; Rachel; Elizabeth again, 31 December 1691, died at 27 years Bethia; Jonathan; Priscilla; Samuel, 26 August 1700; and Edward.

JOHN THURBER, Swanzey 1669, by wife Mary, had Mary, 10 July 1674; Thomas, 24 November 1676; Elizabeth 24 August 1678; Rachel, 5 March 1683. Baylies II. 241.

SAMUEL THURBER, Rehoboth, son of James Thurber of the same, married Rachel Wheeler, had Samuel, born 27 October 1724; James, 28 June 1726; John, 26 August 1730; Mary, 15 September 1732, died at 3 years; Bryan, 14 July 1734; Mary, again, 25 June 1736; Daniel, 30 June 1739; and Hezekiah, 11 August 1741. He lived until 20 December 1785, and had second wife Welthean Tourtellot, perhaps widow of one of the Huguenot offspring.

THOMAS, THURBER Swanzey, by wife Ruth, had Ruth, born 15 July 1682; Abigail, 31 October 1683.

FRANCIS THURLO, FRANCIS THURLA, FRANCIS THURRELL, FRANCIS THORLA or FRANCIS THORLEY, Newbury, eldest son of Richard Thurlo, born in England about 1630, married 5 February 1655, Ann Morse, perhaps daughter of Anthony Morse, had Elizabeth, born 3 June 1656; Mary, 14 May 1658, died next year; John, 25 March 1660; Jonathan, 14 March 1662; son and daughter twins 20 July 1664, both probably died very soon; Richard, 25 November 1665; Thomas and Francis, twins 20 April 1669. He came probably with his father, was a freeman 1670, and died 26 November 1703.

GEORGE THURLO, GEORGE THURLA, GEORGE THURRELL, GEORGE THORLA or GEORGE THORLEY, Newbury, eldest child of Thomas Thurlo, by wife Mary, had Judith, born 6 September 1696; and Mary, 11 April 1699.

JOHN THURLO, JOHN THURLA, JOHN THURRELL, JOHN THORLA or JOHN THORLEY, Newbury, son of Francis Thurlo, married 2 March 1685, Sarah Howe, had Mary, born 10 February 1687; Sarah, 3 October 1689; Ann, 29 February 1692, died young; Lydia, 20 August 1695; Bethia, 3 March 1698; and Hannah, 9 September 1701.

JONATHAN THURLO, JONATHAN THURLA, JONATHAN THURRELL, JONATHAN THORLA or JONATHAN THORLEY, Newbury, brother of the preceding, married 22 December 1685, Mary Merrill, daughter probably of Abraham Merrill, had Elizabeth, born 20 November 1686; Abraham, 20 October 1688; Francis, 20 April 1692; Richard, 20 June 1694; Abigail, 10 February 1696; Mary, 1 July 1698; Jonathan, 29 August 1699; Prudence, 4 September 1701; and John, 4 March 1703. He died 22 September following, and his widow died 19 days after.

RICHARD THURLO, RICHARD THURLA, RICHARD THURRELL, RICHARD THORLA or RICHARD THORLEY, Rowley 1643, among early settlers but it is not known if he were with the first, nor whether he came, as most of the others, from Yorkshire, nor whether he brought wife or other children than Francis, born 1630; and Thomas, 1632; but his wife Jane, who died 19 March 1684, may have accompanied him, and bore Lydia, 1 April 1640; and John, 19 July 1644. In 1651 he removed to Newbury; in 1653 he had a grant of land by the Colony, and next year a toll for his bridge built over Newbury (i. e. Parker) river and died 10 November 1685.

THOMAS THURLO, THOMAS THURLA, THOMAS THURRELL, THOMAS THORLA or THOMAS THORLEY Newbury, younger son of the preceding, married 1670, Judith March, daughter probably of Hugh March, had George, born 12 March 1671; Simon, 20 February 1673, died at 17 years; a daughter 13 December 1675, who perhaps died soon; Judith, 29 July 1677, died soon; Judith, again, 12 November 1679, probably died young; Mary, 1 Mary 1682; and Judith, again, 14 April 1685. His wife died 11 July 1689; and he died 23 June 1713. He was, says the Diary of Sewall, one of two troopers impressed on the first outbreak of Philip's war late in June 1675.

BENJAMIN THURSTON, or BENJAMIN THIRSTON, Boston, weaver, perhaps son of the first John Thurston, married 12 December 1660, Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Robert Walker, had Mary and Eleazer, twins born 24 April 1662; was a freeman 1665, one of the founders of the 3rd or Old South church, artillery company 1675, in who year before Philip's war, the General Court made him Ensign, and he died 10 November 1678, of smallpox, says his special friend’s church. Just. Sewall.

DANIEL THURSTON, or DANIEL THIRSTON, Newbury, an early settler having grant of land November 1638, whose first wife died 25 May 1648, and he married 29 August following Ann Lightfoot, perhaps widow of Francis Lightfoot of Lynn, died 16 February 1666, without children. Gives his estate to Daniel Thurston, a kinsman, who before was called Daniel Thurston junior.

DANIEL THURSTON, or DANIEL THIRSTON, Newbury, may have been short time at Ipswich in 1675, was perhaps the legatee of the preceding, and may have come with him from England, married 20 October 1655, Ann Pell, perhaps daughter of Joseph Pell of Lynn, had Daniel, born 2 July 1659, unless the year be too late by two, died at 4 months; Hannah, 20 January 1659, says Coffin; Daniel, again, 18 January 1661; Sarah, 8 January 1664; Stephen, 25 October 1665; Joseph, 14 September 1667; Ann, 6 September 1669; James, 24 September 1670; Stephen, again, 25 October 1672, died soon; Stephen, again, 5 September 1674; and Abigail, 17 March 1678; and he died 19 February 1693.

DANIEL THURSTON, or DANIEL THIRSTON, Medfield, a freeman 1678, may have been son of John Thurston the first of Dedham.

DANIEL THURSTON, or DANIEL HIRSTON, Rehoboth, married 16 December 1681, Hannah Miller, had Sarah, born 2 January 1683, posthumous though we know not the exact time of his death.

DANIEL THURSTON, or DANIEL THIRSTON Newbury, son of the second Daniel Thurston, by wife Mary, had Daniel, born 26 June 1690; John, 12 June 1692; Mary, 7 January 1694; Benjamin, 4 May 1695; Hannah, 26 January 1698; Martha, 27 November 1699; and Jonathan, 16 March 1701. His will was probated 27 February 1637.

EDWARD THURSTON, or EDWARD THIRSTON, Newport, married June 1647, Elizabeth Mott, daughter of the first Adam Mott, had Sarah, born 10 March 1648; Elizabeth, February 1650; Edward, 1 April 1652; Ellen, April 1655; Mary, February 1657; Jonathan, 4 January 1659; Daniel, April 1661; Rebecca, April 1662; John, December 1664; Content, June 1667; Thomas, 8 October 1671. Perhaps his daughter Rebecca became second wife of Weston Clark. He is on the list of a freeman 1655, was Representative of Providence 1663, but returned to Newport. His daughter Elinor married 1674, George Havens of Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

JAMES THURSTON, or JAMES THIRSTON, Newbury, son of Daniel Thurston the second, by wife Mary, had Hannah, born 15 November 1694, died at 7 years; Dorcas, 20 October 1696; Abner, 28 February 1699; and Phebe, 20 June 1702.

JOHN THURSTON, or JOHN THIRSTON, Salem 1638, had grant of land 1640, possibly but not probably the same as

JOHN THURSTON, or JOHN THIRSTON, Dedham, who was of Wrentham in County Suffolk, a carpenter, came in the Mary Ann of Yarmouth, 1637, aged, says my transcript of a record in Westminster Hall, 30, who should be 36, for by the parish register Wrentham, I find he was baptized 13 January 1601, and that would better agree with the age of his wife Margaret, 32, who he brought with two children Thomas, who was baptized 4 August 1633; and John, baptized 13 September 1635 in England; had here Joseph; Benjamin, born 8 July 1640, baptized with Joseph, 13 September following; Mary, born 8 March 1643; and Judith, 29 May 1648. He was a freeman 10 May 1643; and his estate was part in Medfield, set off from Dedham 1651. His wife died 9 May 1662.

JOHN THURSTON, or JOHN THIRSTON, Medfield, son probably of the preceding, brought from England by his father 1637, was a freeman 1663, and Representative 1683, of which we should gladly know more, than that he married Mary Wood, daughter of Nicholas Wood.

JOHN THURSTON, or JOHN THIRSTON, Newport, was on the list of a freeman 1655.

JOSEPH THURSTON, or JOSEPH THIRSTON, Newbury, son of Daniel Thurston the second, married 1695, Mehitable Kimball.

RICHARD THURSTON, or RICHARD THIRSTON, Salem 1637, removed to Boston, was a mariner, by wife Martha Stanley, daughter of Christopher Stanley, as we may infer from the will of Susanna Phillips, who had been wife of son, had Samuel, born 11 July 1652, and perhaps others. We may observe the want of precise use of words, when Thurston in conveying of part of share to William Phillips, September 1650, calls him father-in-law, only because he (Phillips) had married the widow mother of vendor's wife.

THOMAS THURSTON, or THOMAS THIRSTON, probably son of the first John Thurston, baptized in England, was of Medfield, married 13 December 1655, Sarah Thaxter, daughter probably of Thomas Thaxter of Hingham, had John, born 4 March 1657; Thomas, 11 February 1659; Nathaniel, 24 January 1661; and others, whose names are not known. He was a man of much usefulness, Sergeant in 1675, before the war, made Lieutenant in 1678, and Representative 1686, in the last Court before the abolition of the good old Charter Farmer, MS thinks he must have been the person, who had in April of that year some votes for Assistant, as in Hutchinson Collection 544.

THOMAS THURSTON, or THOMAS THIRSTON, a Quaker, aged 34, who came from London in the Speedwell, 1656, and was sent away in the same ship.

THOMAS THURSTON, or THOMAS THIRSTON, Hampton, swore allegiance 1678, and marked by Dr. Belknap 1681, as having been born 1649, who was slight ground for fear that he might be the Quaker, who embarked 30 May 1656, aged 34, at London, in the Speedwell, and arriving at Boston, 27 July. But this passenger was probably returned by the same vessel; and Belknap and Farmer, and Genealogical Registrar VII. 203, 4, all spell without s the name of this Hampton man, who authority united does not prevail with me. He was Provost marshall in 1684, employed by the Court.

THOMAS THURSTON, or THOMAS THIRSTON, Wrentham, perhaps son of the first Thomas Thurston, by wife Mehitable, had Mehitable, born 1 August 1686; Mary, 16 March 1688, died soon; Thomas, 2 November 1689; Ichabod, 9 August 1692, died soon; as his mother had 2 days after bringing him into the world; and by wife Esther, had David, 20 November 1693; and Daniel, 25 September 1695, perhaps more; and died 15 December 1704. Five of this name at Harvard, and two at Yale had been graduates in 1851.

ALEXANDER THWAITS, Concord, came in the Hopewell from London, 1635, aged 20, perhaps died or removed early, or the gift of his corn to Reverend P. Bulkley, by our General Court in May 1640, is dark. At the East he may be seen swore allegiance to Charles II 8 September 1665.

BENJAMIN THWING, Boston, came as one of the servants or apprentice of Ralph Hudson, in the Susan and Ellen, 1635, aged 16, by wife Deborah, who joined our church 9 October 1641, had Deborah, born 17 May and died 23 August before; John, 21 November baptized 1 December 1644, the father having joined the church February preceding, had also Edward, born 14 November 1652; Deborah, again, 13 January 1660; and Benjamin, earlier, no doubt, than the last two; was a freeman 1645. Farmer thought he was a proprietor at Concord. His master, by will, 1638, left him £10, when his time should be out, and his master's widow left him another sum in 1651.

BENJAMIN THWING, Boston, son of the preceding, carpenter, by wife Abigail, had Benjamin, born 24 July 1670, died young; Lydia, 25 January 1673, died young; Benjamin, again, 20 July 1678; and Lydia, again, 20 July 1679; was a freeman 1680.

EDWARD THWING, Boston, son of the first Benjamin Thwing, a freeman 1675, by wife Elizabeth, had Robert, born 9 January 1680; Elizabeth, 7 February 1681, died soon; Elizabeth again, 19 February 1685; Benjamin, 14 April 1686; and John, 29 July 1688.

JOHN THWING, Boston, eldest brother of the preceding, by wife Mary, had Deborah, born 29 March 1673; Hannah, 4 March 1675; Mary, 12 April 1677; Rachel; 31 January 1681; Sarah, 22 February 1686; and Benjamin, 6 June 1688. He died 6 September 1690, when the gravestone makes the age 47 years 9 months and 13 days, so exactly wrong almost two years. Luckily all regard to the truth of the inscription is taken away by the preposterous falsification caused by change of the Arabic 9 to 2.

WILLIAM THWING, Boston, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 7 April 1686; William, 8 July 1690; and John, 18 June 1692.

JOHN TIBBALS, Milford, son of Thomas Tibbnals of the same, was propounded for a freeman 1671, lived in Derby 1679-1703, had wife and children but names are unknown,

JOSIAH TIBBALS, Milford, brother of the preceding, propounded for a freeman 1669, married 13 July 1670, Mary Sherwood, probably daughter of Thomas Sherwood.

THOMAS TIBBALS, Milford 1646, was perhaps one of the first settlers 1639, had embarked in the Truelove 1635, the last ship in that year from London, aged 20, and was, no doubt, soon after in some part of the river towns of Connecticut, happy enough for service in the Pequot war 1637, and was among the freemen of 1669. In 1671 when he was Sergeant, had a grant of 50 acres for the service. By wife Mary, who died June 1644, had Mary, baptized February 1644, perhaps a year old; Samuel, 14 April 1644; and both probably died young. By a second wife of who the name is unknown, he had John, baptized late in 1645; Thomas, March 1651; Mary, and Sarah, born 29 November 1654; Hannah, March 1657; and Josiah; and died 1703. In his will of 1699, probated 1 June 1703, are named the three last named sons. Sarah, who was wife of Joseph Warriner, and had first been of Daniel Collins; Mercy, who married 12 July 1664, Nicholas Smith; and Hannah, wife of Eliakim Cooley.

THOMAS TIBBALS, Milford, son of the preceding, married 12 December 1672, Abigail Stream, daughter of John Stream, had Thomas, Samuel, Joseph, and perhaps others, and died 17 October 1703.

EPHRAIM TIBBETS, EPHRAIM TYBBOT or EPHRAIM TEBBETS, with several variant spellings, Dover, son of Jeremy Tibbets, married Rose Austin, daughter of Thomas Austin, had Ephraim, born 31 December 1694; Ann, 8 July 1698; Henry, 29 July 1700; Abigail, 12 August 1701; Joseph, 14 October 1702; Elisha, 16 February 1705; Aaron, 26 February 1706; Mary, 16 November 1709; Elijah, 23 March 1711; Rose, 4 February 1713; and Elizabeth, 30 October 1716.

HENRY TIBBETS, HENRY TYBBOT or HENRY TEBBETS, with several variant spellings, Dover 1643, came in the names from London, 1635, aged 39, with Elizabeth, 39; Remembrance 28; one of whom may perhaps have been his wife and one sister; Jeremy, 4; and Samuel, 2. In the ship's clearance he is called shoemaker. Where he first sat down is unknown. He supported jurisdiction of Massachusetts in 1665; by wife Mary, had Rebecca who married Thomas Nock; also Thomas; and perhaps others; died probably 1678.

HENRY TIBBETS, HENRY TYBBOT or HENRY TEBBETS, with several variant spellings, Wickford or Westerly, in 1670 was made a constable by authority of Connecticut, but in the obscure controversy about bounds between the Colonies of Connecticut and Rhode Island he was claimed by both parties.

HENRY TIBBETS, HENRY TYBBOT or HENRY TEBBETS, with several variant spellings, Dover, probably youngest son of Jeremy Tibbets, by wife Joyce, had Benjamin, born 31 October 1700; Edward, 2 February 1703; Paul 26 June 1705; and Susanna, 31 October 1707.

He made his will 5 May 1677, in which he names wife and all these children except Thomas.

JOSEPH TIBBETS, JOSEPH TYBBOT or JOSEPH TEBBETS, with several variant spellings, Dover, brother of Ephraim Tibbets, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 10 March 1697; Margery, 18 January 1701; Judith, 3 February 1703; Lydia, 4 August 1704; Joseph, 2 February 1707; and his wife died three weeks after. In 1711 he married 2nd wife Catharine Massey, had Catharine, 24 August 1713; Mary, 11 October 1716; and Hannah, 23 June 1721.

NATHANIEL TIBBETS, NATHANIEL TYBBOT or NATHANIEL TEBBETS, with several variant spellings, Dover, son of Henry Tibbets the first, by wife Elizabeth, had Bridget, born 26 September 1700. and perhaps more; was taken by the Indians 2 August 1706.

SAMUEL TIBBETS, SAMUEL TYBBOT or SAMUEL TEBBETS, with several variant spellings, Dover, brother of the preceding, married 1 September 1686, Dorothy Tuttle, probably daughter of the first John Tuttle of the same, had Samuel, and perhaps others.

WALTER TIBBETS, WALTER TYBBOT or WALTER TEBBETS, with several variant spellings, Gloucester, a freeman of 19 May 1642, was selectman that and three following years, died 14 August 1651. His daughter Mary, the only child whose name is known, married 6 November 1643, William Haskell, though it may be presumed that he had another daughter Agnes, for he was, at his death called father-in-law of Edward Clark, her husband and his will of 5 June 1651, making wife executrix names grandchildren Richard Dike, Joseph and William Haskell, John and Joseph Clark, besides Elizabeth Dike, perhaps mother, probably sister of Richard, Elinor Luscombe and Salome Trill. I am ignorant of the last two.

MARTIN TICHENOR, New Haven, took oath of fidelity 5 August 1644, married 16 May 1651, Mary Charles, perhaps daughter of John Charles, had John, born 14 April 1653; Abigail, 1 February 1655; Daniel, 9 October 1656; all baptized 8 February 1657; Hannah, baptized 14 March 1659; Samuel, 14 October 1660; and a died in 1663, all in his wife's right, besides a first born Nathaniel, 25 February 1652, who died in 2 days, and a son born 1665.

HENRY TICKNALL, is the name of a passenger embarked at London in the Hopewell, in the autumn of 1635, aged only 15; but whether he ever reached Boston, or where he sat down, is untold.

WILLIAM TICKNOR, or anciently, WILLIAM TICKNER, Scituate 1646, or earlier, married at Boston, 29 October 1656, Hannah Stockbridge, daughter of John Stockbridge, had John, born 1659, died young; and William, 1664; perhaps others. His wife died 1665; and he married 1666, Deborah Hyland, daughter of Thomas Hyland. He was from County Kent; but when he came, or when he died is uncertain.

WILLIAM TICKNOR, or anciently, WILLIAM TICKNER, Scituate, son of the preceding, married Lydia Tilden, daughter of Deacon Joseph Tilden, had John, born 1699; William, 1700; Lydia, 1702; and perhaps more. He removed to Lebanon in 1710. John was grandfather of the late Elisha Ticknor, Esq. of Boston, Dartmouth College 1783, whose only son George Ticknor, is the widely known historian of Spanish Literature.

JOHN TIDD, Woburn, probably son of that John Tidd, spelled Tead, born in England, married 14 April 1650, Rebecca Wood, had Hannah, born 21 September 1652, John, 26 February 1655; Mary, 13 November 1656; Samuel, 16 January 1650; Joseph, 18 January 1661, died in 2 weeks; Joseph, again, perhaps, but not certain.

JOHN TIDD, Woburn, son probably of the preceding, by wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 19 September 1679; John, 2 November 1681; Joseph, 8 March 1684; Rebecca, 4 August 1687; Mary, 8 August 1690; and Ebenezer, 31 August 1693.

SAMUEL TIDD, Worburn, who died 1651, may have been son of the first John Tidd, written Tead, and born in England, may have lived at Salem, by wife Sarah, had Elizabeth, born May 1642, and he soon died, for his widow had married John Southwick long enough to bear him a daughter June 1644. See Tead.

RICHARD TIDMARSH, Salem, married 20 June 1659, Mary Felmingham, daughter perhaps of Francis Felmingham, had Richard, born 12 July 1660.

WILLIAM TIFF, WILLIAM TIFT, or WILLIAM TEFFE, Boston 1638, the freeman of 2 June 1641, with his wife Ann, had joined the church 2 August 1640, when the spelling is Teffe, and he is called tailor. His will of 1 May 1646, probated 2 November 1648, mentioned wife Ann, daughter Lydia, and brother John Tiff. The name is rare, and no doubt various spellings at different times and places. Stephen Tift was one of the prisoners taken in Montgomery's attack on Quebec, 31 December 1775. J. K. Teff, Esq. an esteemed member of the Georgia Historical Society at Savannah, was probably an emigrant from Rhode Island.

HUMPHREY TIFFANY, Rehoboth 1663, by wife Elizabeth, had Sarah, born 6 July 1683; was, I think, inhabitant of Dover for some time, but killed 15 July 1685, on the journey between Swanzey and Boston, by a stroke of lightning.

JOHN TIFFT, Portsmouth, Rhode Island 1655, on the freemen's list that year. In 1674 he was of Kingstown, made his will, then, in which he names sons Samuel, Joshua, and daughter Tabitha, wife of Samuel Wilson. He was probably brother of William Teffe or William Tift of Boston.

JOSHUA TIFFT, Providence, at Wickford, 1674, a renegado, who having married a Wampanoag, was true to the Indians side, killed or wounded it was said, especially at the great swamp fight, 19 December 1675, taken 14 January following, by some Providence men, was soon executed with a stigma "that he had never heard a sermon but once for 14 years". See all the contempory reports of the war. He was son of John Tifft, and so I presume was.

JOSEPH TILDEN, Scituate, eldest son of Nathaniel Tilden, born in England, came in the Hercules 1635, from Sandwich, with his father who was of Tenterden in County Kent, married 20 November 1649, Alice Twisden or Elizabeth Twisden, daughter of John Twisden, had Nathaniel, born September 1650; John, December 1652; Rebecca, February 1655; Joseph, 12 February 1657; probably died young, as he is not mentioned in the will of his father; Stephen, 14 May 1659; Samuel, 1660; Elizabeth, 1665; Lydia, 1666; and Benjamin 1668, who died unmarried at 25 years. He was Deacon and died in May 1670, leaving good estate by will of 12 of that month to widow Elizabeth and the eight children by name, and brother Stephen Tilden, and sister Elizabeth Garrett. But of this last some doubt is felt, whether is meant more than Christian relationship, or perhaps the second wife of Richard Garrett, who for his first, had Lydia, sister of this testate.

NATHANIEL TILDEN, Scituate, came in the Hercules 1635 from Sandwich, in County Kent, being one of an old family at Tenterden, near Cranbrook, in that shire, bringing wife Lydia, seven children, and seven servants. He may have visited our country before and went home to bring his household; but it does not appear by any facts. In May 1637, with his friend Hatherly, he was appointed by Plymouth Colony to settle the bounds between it and Massachusetts. He was ruling elder in the church and died 1641, the inventory being of 31 July, and his will of 25 May preceding, in that year. It names his wife Lydia Bourne, perhaps daughter of Thomas Bourne of Marshfield, yet married in England, to whom he gives his house at Tenterden, all the seven children: Joseph; Thomas, born about 1621; Mary, the wife of Thomas Lapham, married 13 March 1637; Sarah, the wife of George Sutton; Judith; Lydia; and Stephen; also two servants who should serve his eldest son. Judith married Abraham Preble, and Lydia married Richard Garrett.

NATHANIEL TILDEN, Scituate, eldest son of Joseph Tilden, died 17 December 1731.

STEPHEN TILDEN, Marshfield, youngest son of Nathaniel Tilden first, married 15 January 1662, Hannah Little, daughter of Thomas Little, had Hannah, born 14 October 1662; Stephen, 1664; Abigail, 1666; Mary, 1668; Judith, 1670; Joseph, 1672; Mercy, 1 May 1674; Ruth, 1676; Isaac, 1678; Ephraim, 1680; Ebenezer, 1681; and David, 1685. Through this brother descends the late Honorable Joseph Tilden, of Boston.

THOMAS TILDEN, Plymouth, one of the first comers, arriving 1623, by the Ann, bringing probably wife and children, at least he had lands for three rights assigned that year, but as none of this name had share in division of cattle 1627, and no death is supposed to have occurred in the Colony for some years after 1621, my inferrence is that he went home. Perhaps he was brother of the first Nathaniel Tilden; but most surely not, as Farmer thought him, his son.

THOMAS TILDEN, Marshfield, probably son of the elder Nathaniel Tilden, born at Tenterden, County Kent, was old enough in 1643 to bear arms, when he lived at Scituate; at Marshfield his wife Elizabeth, whose father is not ascertained, died or was buried 12 December 1663; and his daughter Susanna was buried 9 September 1684; and son John died 20 April 1685; but one or both may have been children of that Mary Holmes, maid or widow is unknown married 24 January 1665.

THOMAS TILESTONE, or THOMAS TILSTON, Dorchester, had grant of land 1634, freeman 9 March 1637, had wife Elizabeth, sons Thomas, born about 1633; Timothy, about 1637; Elizabeth, 1639; Ruth; Naomi, died young; probably Cornelius, who died 20 July 1659; Bathsheba, born 1649; Onesiphorus, 1651; and perhaps others; was fined in September 1640 for absent from a jury; but we can tell no more of him except his death 24 June 1694, aged 83, says Blake. Ruth married 11 December 1657, Richard Denton; and next Timothy Foster; and Bathsheba married John Pays..

THOMAS TILESTONE, or THOMAS TILSTON, Dorchester, son of the preceding, perhaps (I dare not say probably) born in England, but the record allows us to know only that he died 11 September 1718, aged about 85 years. Whether he had wife and children is uncertain. Perhaps he was the author who composed verses on the death of John Foster, 1681, as Thomas in his history of printed I. 277, tells.

TIMOTHY TILESTONE, or TIMOTHY TILSTON, Dorchester, son of the first Thomas Tilestone, a freeman 1666, married 28 April or 3 May 1659, Sarah Bridgeman, daughter of James Bridgeman of Hartford, had Timothy, born about 1664; Elizabeth, 29 March baptized 1 April 1666; Cornelius, 4 September baptized 4 October 1668; Sarah, born 7 September 1671; Thomas, 19 October 1675; James, 2 July 1678; Ann, 7 December 1681. He was Representative 1689, 92, a cooper by trade, and died 10 August 1697, leaving large estate of which the mills have continued in the family until this time; and the widow died 26 June 1712, aged 69.

PETER TILL, or PETER TYLLS, Boston, fisherman, in whose youthful days the Court 1639 ordered that he shall be taught seamanship by his master, John Cloise or John Cloyes; married 26 February 1652, Elizabeth Nick; and was living 1671, a carpenter.

EDWARD TILLEY, Plymouth 1620, came with wife in the Mayflower, and two children "their cousins," Henry Sampson, and Humility Cooper. He and his wife died the first winter. Humility went home and died.

HUGH TILLEY, Salem, perhaps in 1629, as in Haz. I. 280, when he was servant to Sir Richard Saltonstall, certainly at Yarmouth 1638 and 43, being a witness there to a will early in 1639, and enrolled to bear arms in the latter year. Clearly this man's name is by some read Hillier, and he died 28 January 1648; and his widow married 3 November following Thomas Hucking.

JOHN TILLEY, Plymouth, perhaps brother of Edward Tilley, came with wife and one child Elizabeth in the Mayflower, 1620, and all (it was believed by Shurtleff in Genealogical Registrar I. 52) died next winter. But his daughter Elizabeth Tilley, who married John Howland, outlived all her fellow passengers except three who were younger.

JOHN TILLEY, Dorchester 1630, is probably the same, who was in 1624, engaged at Cape Ann, with Thomas Gardner, in the oversight of that plantation, a freeman 4 March 1635, and perhaps the master of the coastal vessel, killed by the Indians at Connecticut river next year in October with circumstance of horrid cruelty, as in Winthrop I. 200 is told. His widow continued at Dorchester.

NATHANIEL TILLEY, embarked in the Abigail 1635, from London, aged 32, but I know no more of him.

WILLIAM TILLEY, Boston, is perhaps the passenger in the Abigail from London 1635, aged 28, with Nathaniel Tilley, and may have been his brother, perhaps was the Barnstable man 1643. In 1649, he had wife Alice, and was inhabitant 1658; but in 1665 was subject of complaint by wife of Elizabeth Tilley, who in 1653 at Springfield, married Thomas Merrick, though from that union, the Tilley has grown into a common baptismal prefix, it is, I fear, impossibe to find any trace of parentage.

BENJAMIN TILLINGHAST, Providence, son probably youngest of the first Pardon Tillinghast, had three daughters of whose dates I hear nothing, nor names; but it is said that they married Solomon Drown, Edward Kinnicutt, and Christopher Arnold, respective.

JOHN TILLINGHAST, Providence, of whose descent I am ignorant, had perhaps other children besides Mary, born about 1689, who married 2 November 1709, Richard Ward.

JOSEPH TILLINGHAST, Providence, brother of Benjamin Tillinghast, by first wife, had Paris; and by second wife Lydia, had Elizabeth; Samuel; Nicholas, born 26 May 1726; and Daniel; to each of which I would gladly give dates.

PARDON TILLINGHAST, Providence, born about 1622, it is said, near Beach Head on the coast of Sussex, was settled as baptist minister 1645. See Benedict, history I. 478. He built at his own expense the first meeting-house and gave it to the society in 1711, with the lot it stood on; and died 29 January 1718. By his second wife Lydia Tabor, probably daughter of Philip Tabor of Tiverton, he had Pardon; Philip; Joseph, born 1677; Benjamin; Mary; Abigail; Mercy, born about 1679; Hannah; and Elizabeth. He died 29 January 1718; but he had three children by a former wife whose names are unknown. Mary married one of the numerous Carpenters at Pautuxet, probably a son of William Carpenter; Abigail married Nicholas Sheldon; Mercy married the third Nicholas Power, as his second wife, had nine children and died 13 November 1769, aged 91; Hannah married a Hale of Swanzey; and Elizabeth married a Tabor of New London. He is, I believe, founder of a long line, eight of who had, says Farmer, been graduates at Brown University in 1834.

PARDON TILLINGHAST, Providence, son of the preceding, removed to East Greenwich, and had John, Joseph, and Philip, besides one daughter Mercy, wife of Peter Mawney, as from his will is learned. This document names a great many grandchildren.

PHILIP TILLINGHAST, Providence, brother of the preceding, was probably the soldier in Gallop’s Company 1690, married 3 May 1692, Martha Holmes, probably a granddaughter of persecutor Obadiah Holmes, had Charles, born 5 March 1693; Philip, 9 August 1694; John, 4 April 1696; Jonathan, 18 September 1698; Martha, 20 December 1699; Pardon, 15 December 1701; Obadiah, 2 December 1703, died young; Joseph, 18 March 1706, died at 18 years; Lydia, 16 October 1708; Sarah, 5 March 1710; perhaps Samuel, 1711; Ann, 13 April 1713; William, 22 January 1715; Elisha, 29 August 1716; and Mary, 16 February 1718.

JOHN TILLOTSON, Rowley, removed to Newbury, married 14 July 1648, Dorcas Coleman, sister of Thomas Coleman, who perhaps brought her in the James from Southampton 1635, arriving at Boston 3 June, had Mary, born 13 February 1650; John, 21 February 1651; and James, 19 December 1652. His wife died 1 January 1655, and he married 24 May following Jane Evans, had Philadelphia, 28 September 1656; Joseph, 11 January 1658; and Jonathan, 6 July 1659. As Coffin tells no more of him, I judge that he removed probably to Connecticut.

JOHN TILLOTSON, Saybrook 1671, probably son of the preceding, lived on the East or Lyme side of the great river and was involved with many of his townsmen in the quarrel with New London people about mowing the meadow intermediate who led to mutual indictments, as in Trumbull's Colony record II. 558 appears. He married 25 November 1680, Mary Morris, daughter of John Morris of Hartford, had Mary, born 30 November 1681; John, 25 October 1683; Joshua, 26 March 1687; Joseph, 29 March 1689; Martha, 1 November 1691; and Thomas, 24 March 1694; and died 5 June 1719.

JONATHAN TILLOTSON, Lyme, perhaps brother of the preceding, married 10 January 1683, Mary Jones, had Jonathan, born 26 October 1684.

JOHN TILLMAN, in Maine, among those on West side of Kennebec river shore, swore allegiance to Charles II September 1665.

EDMUND TILSON, at Plymouth 1643; and 25 October 1660, Elizabeth, who may have been his daughter, married Benajah Dunham, of Eastham; and on the same day Mary Tilson married Benjamin Dunham; but who was the Mary, that married 23 December 1652, James Cole junior is quite beyond my conjecture as is the Jane, who married 20 May 1662, Giles Richard the elder.

EPHRAIM TILSON, Plymouth, perhaps brother of the preceding, married 7 July 1666, Elizabeth Hoskins, daughter perhaps of William Hoskins.

ABRAHAM TILTON, Ipswich, the freeman of 1681, was perhaps son of William Tilton of Lynn, apprentice in 1653, to John Hood, who then being in England discharged him, and he married the same year or earlier, a daughter (probably Deliverance Shaw) of Roger Shaw of Hampton; in 1669 was of Kittery, and at Ipswich with wife made deeds of gift 1702, to sons Samuel and Isaac. His widow Deliverance, in her will of 9 November 1730, probated 2 July 1733, names sons Abraham, Samuel, and Isaac, daughters Sarah Martin, Mary, wife of Tristram Brown; Rebecca, wife of Thomas Durges, whose former husband was John Lamb; and Abigail Bell, deceased, late wife of Robert Bell, formerly of John Filmore.

DANIEL TILTON, of Hampton or Exeter in 1689, was perhaps brother of the preceding, I conjecture, and married 23 December 1669, Mehitable Weare. Of one Daniel Tilton, perhaps a son, more probably grandson of William Tilton of Ipswich, with his brother Lieutenant Jacob Tilton, striking proof of triumphant over Indian captors in June 1722, is told in Penhallow's history with admirable brevity; but much dilated in verse, untutored as its subject, the heroic narrative is contained in Genealogical Registrar II. 271.

ISAAC TILTON, Pemaquid, a Sergeant at the fort, drowned there, 28 March 1695, was brother of Abraham Tilton, as by his nuncupative will declared.

PETER TILTON, Windsor, perhaps son of William Tilton of Lynn, may never have been of Dorchester, yet early at Windsor, and possibly came with Reverend Ephraim, Huit, there married 10 May 1641, Elizabeth, whose surname is lost, had Elizabeth, baptized 19 June 1642, who died at 13 years; Mary, 18 February 1644; and Peter, 5 December 1647, removed about 1659 up the river and was one of the first settlers at Hadley, took the freeman's oath 26 March 1661, and oath of allegiance 8 February 1679; was Deacon, Representative for Hadley 1665, and most years following except 1667, when he was returning member for Chelmsford, chosen Assistant in 1680, and so continued except during the usurpery of Andros, and on the last election under the old Charter ten days before coming of the new, among the whole eighteen only Phips, Sewall, Russell, and Cooke had more votes than him. See 3 Massachusetts history Collection X. 120. He died 11 July 1696. His second wife Mary, died 16 April 1689; and he married 3 November 1690, Sarah, widow of Deacon Benjamin Parsons, who had been widow of John Leonard, both of Springfield; and she outlived him, and died at Springfield 23 November 1711. Of the two surviving children Peter was infirm in body and mind, kept under guardians, and did not perpetuate the name. Mary married Joseph Eastman of Suffield, and next James Guernsey, 17 February 1693. After the death of Peter Tilton junior in 1707, all the Tilton estate vested in Joseph Eastman, grandson of the first Peter Tilton.

WILLIAM TILTON, Lynn, had eldest son Samuel Tilton, others Peter, Daniel, and Abraham; perhaps William; died about 1653. His widow Susanna, married Roger Shaw of Hampton.

HENRY TIMBERLAKE, Newport 1644, then chosen corporal, Representative 1663; had family of who I know only Elizabeth that married 24 December 1670, the third John Coggeshall. Perhaps it was his son who was a solider with the rank of Ensign, under Captain William Turner at the Falls fight in Philip's war, by the scrupulous keeper of the muster roll called Timberleggs.

JOHN TIMMINS, Scarborough, united with many others in declaration 4 July 1663, unwilling to resist claim of jurisdiction by Massachusetts or by Patentees, but wish the King to settle whom they belong to.

PALMER TINGLEY, or PALMER TINGLE, Ipswich 1639, is by Farmer named as a soldier in the Pequot war.

SAMUEL TINGLEY, or SAMUEL TINGLE, Malden, died 28 December 1666, leaving widow Elizabeth, by whom he had Samuel, born February 1666; and Thomas, July 1667. His wife was daughter of Thomas Call, and she next married Daniel Shepards the second

AMOS TINKER, Lyme 1688, son of John Tinker of New London, had there married 1 June 1682; but I know no issue.

JOHN TINKER, Windsor, 1643, removed in few years to Boston, by wife Alice, had Sarah, born 2 January 1652, died soon; Mary, 2 July 1653; a freeman 1654; was one of the principal settlers at Lancaster, there selectman 1655, and town clerk, had John, 4 August 1655; Amos, 28 October 1657; removed again to New London, where he was in good esteem, Representative 1660 and 1, had Samuel, 1 April 1659; and Rhoda, 23 February 1662; and he died in October following, and the General Court in March 1664, ordered the charges of his sickness and funeral to be disbursed from the public treasurer. His widow Married 1664, William Measure, and died 20 November 1714, aged 85.

THOMAS TINKER, Plymouth 1620, came in the Mayflower, with wife and a son who all died in the first winter. One Sarah Tinker joined the church at Scituate, 14 May 1637, but no more is heard of her.

EBENEZER TINKHAM, Middleborough, son of the first Ephraim Tinkham, married before 1679, Elizabeth Liscom, was one of the first members of the church, and Deacon. Had Jeremiah, and probably others, and died 8 April 1718, and his wife it is said, died the same day, aged 64.

EPHRAIM TINKHAM, Plymouth 1643, apprentice of Timothy Hatherly, who had, July 1634, transferred him to John Winslow, had grant of land August 1642, and another in October following, by wife of unknown name, a daughter of Peter Brown, had Ephraim, born 5 August 1649; Ebenezer, 30 September 1651; Peter, 25 December 1653; Hezekiah, 8 February 1656; John, 7 June 1658; Mary, 5 August 1661; John, again, 15 November 1663; and Isaac, 11 April 1666.

EPHRAIM TINKHAM, Middleborough, son of the preceding, by wife Esther, had Ephraim, and Isaac, perhaps more. He was constable 1681, and propounded for a freeman 1682.

JOHN TINNEY, Scarborough, in 1658, owned allegiance to Massachusetts as in Colony record IV, part I. It may be Tenney.

HENRY TIPPETT, Wickford, in the disputed territory of Rhode Island, claimed by Connecticut, made a constable 1670, by the latter power, though the right belonged to Rhode Island. See Trumbull, Colony record II. 138, 540, and 553. Humbly I would inquire if Mr. Trumbull, in the Index, making the name Tibbots or Tibbets, had high authority for the spelling, or had followed the similarity of Henry Tibbets in New Hampshire, adherence to the Massachusetts jurisdiction. I submit the conjecture that the true spelling was Lippet; yet with so much less confidence, as the Wickford man's name is found by Judd to be Tipler.

BARTHOLOMEW TIPPING, or BARTHOLOMEW TIPPEN, Exeter 1675, had commission from Massachusetts in October 1676, to command the forces in reestablishing the settlement at Scarborough, in 1677 killed the famous Indian child Mugg; in 1680 was Representative. See Massachusetts Colony record V. 130.

GIDEON TIRRELL, GIDEON TURREL, GIDEON TYRRELL, GIDEON TERRALL, or GIDEON THURRILL, Weymouth, son of William Tirrell of the same, by wife Hannah, had Gideon, born 18 June 1689, probably died soon; Mary, 4 October 1690; Gideon, again, 10 April 1693; Miriam, 29 September 1696; and perhaps more.

JOHN TIRRELL, JOHN TURREL, JOHN TYRRELL, JOHN TERRALL, or JOHN THURRILL, Milford, perhaps son of Roger Tirrell, was propounded for a freeman 1669, and then a seaman, probably lived at New London, perhaps brother of William Tirrell of the same, married Sarah Willey, daughter of Isaac Willey, perhaps for second wife. He had William; and Mary, baptized 7 May 1671; and died 27 February 1712; and his widow died 7 March following.

ROGER TIRRELL, ROGER TURREL, ROGER TYRRELL, ROGER TERRALL, or ROGER THURRILL, Milford 1639, one of the original settlers, had, no doubt, a family, is in list of a freeman 1669, and Lambert says, died 1682.

ROGER TIRRELL, ROGER TURREL, ROGER TYRRELL, ROGER TERRALL, or ROGER THURRILL, Stratford, perhaps son of the preceding, had Abigail, baptized January 1682; Sarah, March 1684; Stephen, August 1686; Roger, July 1691; Ezra, April 1693; Timothy and Martha, twins 19 November 1697; as we learn from Cothren, who also infirm that he died 17 April 1722; and his widow died 13 April 1728,

WILLIAM TIRRELL, WILLIAM TURREL, WILLIAM TYRRELL, WILLIAM TERRALL, or WILLIAM THURRILL, Boston, married 29 January 1655, Rebecca Simpkins, daughter of Captain Nicholas Simpkins, had Rebecca, born 16 December following; William, 16 March 1657; Mary, 6 April 1661; and Gideon, 16 July 1664; removed to Weymouth, and may there have had more children, but failure for a long series of years of town records denies us certainty.

WILLIAM TIRRELL, WILLIAM TURREL, WILLIAM TYRRELL, WILLIAM TERRALL, or WILLIAM THURRILL, a tailor of New London, 1662, as Caulkins says only transient inhabitant.

WILLIAM TIRRELL, WILLIAM TURREL, WILLIAM TYRRELL, WILLIAM TERRALL, or WILLIAM THURRILL, Weymouth, son of William Tirrell of the same, by wife Abigail, had William, born 4 August 1683; Samuel, 17 November 1686; Abigail, 22 August 1689; and Gideon, 14 June 1694.

JAMES TISDALE, Taunton, perhaps son of the first John Tisdale, married 5 November 1666, Mary Avery, daughter of William Avery of Dedham, lived in Middleborough, the part now Lakeville, when his wife died 9 September 1713, aged 66; and he died 15 Jan 1715, aged 71.

JOHN TISDALE, Duxbury 1637, but in what year he came, or from what part of England is uncertain, though we know his end, killed by the Indians 27 June 1675. Probably he had John and James, both of who may have been born here.

JOHN TISDALE, called junior, Taunton, married 23 November 1664, Hannah Rogers, of Duxbury, had Abigail, born 15 July 1667; John, 10 August 1669; Ann, 27 January 1673; and Remember, 8 July 1675; was Representative 1674, says Baylies II. 71, killed by the Indians 27 June next year as Winsor tells, but this was the father and the mother. Sarah died December 1676.

BENAIAH TITCOMB, or BENAIAH TITCOME, Newbury, son of William Titcomb of the same, swore allegiance 1678, as by the King required having in 1669, swore fidelity to Massachusetts, married 24 December in the latter year Sarah Brown, probably daughter of the first Richard Brown, had Benaiah, born 24 October 1679; Joseph, 25 January 1681, probably died soon; Edmund, 9 December 1682; Elizabeth; Sarah, 2 March 1688; Joseph, again, 2 April 1691; Enoch, 1 April 1695; and Mary, 17 February 1698.

THOMAS TITCOMB, or THOMAS TITCOME, Newbury, brother of the preceding, married 30 November 1693, Mary Dam, had Hannah, born 5 September 1695; Judith, 30 July 1698; Mary, 17 August 1700; and Ann, 27 January 1703.

WILLIAM TITCOMB, or WILLIAM TITCOME, Newbury, was of Newbury in County Berks, had taken passage in the Mary and John, from London, 24 March 1634, but was casually deprived of the opportunity and came next month in the Hercules, married Joanna Bartlett, daughter of the elder Richard Bartlett, who died 28 June 1653, had Sarah, born 22 June 1640; Hannah, 8 January 1642; Mary, 17 February 1644; Millicent, 7 June 1646, who died at 17 years; William, 18 March 1648, died at 11 years; Peniel, 16 December 1650; and Benaiah, 28 June 1653, the day of his mother's death.

He died 24 September 1676. His will, made six days before, mentioned only eleven children. Sarah married 16 March 1665, the second Thomas Treadwell of Ipswich; Rebecca married 25 March 1678, Nathaniel Treadwell, as his second wife.

HENRY TITE, Boston 1655, married 11 February 1658, Sarah Walton, but I know no more of either.

DANIEL TITERTON, DANIEL TITTERTON, or DANIEL TYTTERTON, was perhaps of Boston 1643, when the artillery company list includes such a name, with Samuel instead of Daniel; but I suppose he removed to Stratford before 1647; was Representative 1647, 49, 52 and 54; and died 1661. His will probated 6 July of that year names three sons Daniel, Timothy, and Samuel, of who Timothy is the only child whose birth is on record at Stratford and that was 25 March 1651. To these he gives his estate and lands in England besides some in New England. Three daughters also are mentioned, one Wilcockson, perhaps the first wife of Timothy Wilcockson, and Mary, and Elizabeth unmarried. To these two £30 each besides £10 each for March dress. His wife Jane outlived him. Perhaps two of the sons went home to enjoy estate there.

DANIEL TITERTON, DANIEL TITTERTON, or DANIEL TYTTERTON, Stratford, son perhaps eldest, of the preceding, born in England, had Mary, born 11 June 1676, and perhaps others before. He was one of the second society of Stratford most of who removed to Woodbury, but he did not; freeman 1669.

JOHN TITUS, Rehoboth, son of Robert Titus, born in England, came with his father, perhaps married a daughter of William Carpenter of the same, who in his will of December 1659, makes bequest to his son.

JOHN TITUS, Rehoboth, who married 17 July 1673, Lydia Redway, had Lydia, born 1674, may be son of preceding, and his wife was buried at Rehoboth 25 November 1676. He married second wife 3 July following Sarah Miller, had John, born 12 March 1678; Hannah, 10 November 1682.

ROBERT TITUS, Weymouth, came in the Hopewell, Captain Bundock, in the spring of 1635, from London, aged 35, with wife Hannah, 31; children John, 8; and Edmund, 5; a freeman 13 May 1640; at Weymouth, had son Abiel, born 17 March 1641; and daughter Content, 28 March 1643; removed to Rehoboth next year, may have had other children after or before, was Representative 1648, 9, and 50.

SAMUEL TITUS, Newtown, Long Island 1644, favored Connecticut jurisdiction and the name is much diffused.

SILAS TITUS, Rehoboth, had Silas, born 12 August perhaps 1679; Mary, 30 March 1681. Sometimes it is written Tytus.

FRANCIS TOBEY, in Massachusetts was fined 1635, for something slight, £10, but three years after it was remitted.

STEPHEN TOBEY, perhaps of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, married 29 November 1688, Hannah Nelson.

CHRISTOPHER TODD, New Haven, was one of the original settlers 1639, a proprietor 1685, and died next year, had John, baptized December 1642; Samuel, 29 April 1645; Mary, probably 19 September 1647; Grace, born 15 December 1650; Michael, 18 June 1653; and Mercy, 18 February 1656; and the baptisms were in right of his wife Grace. I wish the church record had been as accurate as that of the town. His will of 25 March 1686, names all the children but Mary, wife of Isaac Turner was deceased; Grace had married Richard Mattock, who deserted her; and Mercy married a Basset, probably John.

JOHN TODD, Charlestown 1637, was, I think, one of the early settlers at Rowley, of which he was Representative 1664, and 86; by wife Susanna, had Mehitable, born 10 January 1650; John, born 1655; Catharine, 1658; Thomas, 1665; Timothy, 1668; Samuel, 1670; James, 1672; probably several others. JOHN TODD, New Haven, son of Christopher Todd, married 26 November 1668, Sarah Gilbert, daughter of Honorable Matthew Gilbert, had Sarah, born 27 August 1670, died soon; and his wife died 1672. He married 1677, Sarah Blackman, had Sarah, 13 May 1678, died soon; John, 11 May 1679; Jonathan, 20 February 1681; Sarah, again, 17 March 1682, died soon; Mary, 26 September 1683; and perhaps more. He was propounded for a freeman 1670; and proprietor 1685;

JOHN TODD, Rowley, son of John Todd of the same, married Elizabeth Brocklebank, perhaps daughter of Captain Samuel Brocklebank, had John, born 1688; Samuel, 1693; Thomas, 1701; and Joseph, 1704; besides three daughters.

He was propounded for a freeman 1670, and proprietor 1685.

SAMUEL TODD, Rowley, son of John Todd of the same, by wife Priscilla, had Samuel, born 1696; Abner, 1700; Daniel 1706; and one daughter.

WALTER TODD, Warwick, is among the freeman there 1655; and lived 1673. He had married Margaret, widow of Rufus Barton, but he left no children. Of this name fourteen had in 1840 been graduates at Yale, and one at Harvard.

SAMUEL TOE, Newtown, Long Island 1656, is by me suspected to be the same as Coe, in the old writing the capital T and C were so much alike.

JOHN TOLMAN, Dorchester, son of Thomas Tolman the first, a freeman 1678, at Lynn married 30 November 1666, Elizabeth Collins, daughter of John Collins, mother of all his children who died 7 October 1690; and 15 June 1692, he took second wife Mary Breck, widow of Samuel Paul, daughter of Edward Breck, who died 25 August 1720; died 1 January 1725, in 83rd year. He had Elizabeth, born 14 December 1667; John 8 April 1671; Joseph, 6 September 1674; Benjamin, 6 December 1676; Henry, 13 March 1679; Ann, 2 March 1681; Ebenezer, 27 March 1683; Ruth, 1 July 1685; and William, 2 September 1687.

THOMAS TOLMAN, Dorchester 1636, a freeman 13 May 1640, by wife Sarah, had Hannah, born 27 July 1642; but probably Thomas, before and perhaps also Sarah and Mary; besides John, perhaps, and Ruth and Rebecca, certainly after. He had also second wife Sarah; and died 8 June 1690. His will of 29 October 1688, names Thomas, his oldest son, and no other sons but John; daughter Sarah who had married 18 March 1669, Henry Leadbetter; Rebecca, wife of James Tucker; Ruth, wife daughter of Isaac Royal; Hannah, wife of George Lyon; and daughter Mary Collins, whose husband is not known to me. His inventory was of 23 July 1690.

THOMAS TOLMAN, Dorchester, son of the preceding, freeman 1678, by wife Elizabeth Johnson, daughter of Richard Johnson of Lynn, married 4 November 1664, had Thomas; Mary, born 26 November 1671; Samuel, 11 June 1676; and Daniel, 1 May 1679. See his will in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 259.

AGUR TOMLINSON Stratford, son of Henry Tomlinson of the same, married 13 December 1681, Elizabeth Judson, daughter of Jeremiah Judson.

HENRY TOMLINSON, Milford, 1652, removed to Stratford probably 1665, certainly before 1669, when he is found in the freemen's list; had wife Alice, and children Jonas, Margaret, Mary, and Tabitha, not recorded at Stratford; Phebe, born 14 August 1656; Agur, 1 November 1658; Bathshua, 3 January 1661; and Abraham, perhaps born earlier, died 1662; and died 16 March 1681. His will of the day before mentioned that Margaret had married Jabez Hardier; Mary was wife of a Pierson; Tabitha, wife of Edward Woster; Phebe, wife of another Wooster; and Bathshua, wife of Ephraim Stiles; and Jonas; all of who had been portioned and after good provision for widow Alice, gives residual of estate to Agur. The widow married John Birdseye, senior, under a contract of 8 October 1688.

JONAS TOMLINSON, Stratford, son of the preceding, was administered freeman 1669. Both father and son were active in projecting various settlements, the son was one of the first settlers at Derby, as early as 1678, made his will in 1692, naming wife Hannah. He had copious progeny, probably for the catalogue of Yale names twelve graduates of this name, which is seen in the early record sometimes without the last syllable.

BENJAMIN TOMLYNS, BENJAMIN THOMLINS, or BENJAMIN TOMLINS, probably at Lynn, came in the Susan and Ellen, 1635, aged 18, from London, with another Edward Tomlyns, 30, from who I infer that they were brothers and likely to be a son of either the first Edward Tomlyns or his brother.

EDWARD TOMLYNS, EDWARD THOMLINS, or EDWARD TOMLINS, Lynn 1630, came, no doubt, in the fleet with Winthrop, and was administered a freeman 18 May 1631, was Representative at the first General Court of deputy 1634, and next year artillery company 1638, clerk of the writs 1643, having gone to Long Island to instruct about the migration from Lynn but came back, Representative again 1644. He was probably well advanced in years but I know no more of him; no children are mentioned.

EDWARD TOMLYNS, EDWARD THOMLINS, or EDWARD TOMLINS, Lynn, perhaps son, perhaps nephew of the preceding, came in the Susan and Ellen, but went home again, 1644, lived in London, was probably a merchant. Bought of Joseph Redknap, 31 January 1649, his estate called Blackbush right, near Hampton Court, was of Dublin, 1679, says Lewis.

JOHN TOMLYNS, JOHN THOMLINS, or JOHN TOMLINS, Boston, married 26 December 1660, Sarah Barnes, daughter of Matthew Barnes.

RALPH TOMLYNS, RALPH THOMLINS, or RALPH TOMLINS, Massachusetts 1636, of who no more is heard, but that some larceny of his goods had been detected at that date.

TIMOTHY TOMLYNS, TIMOTHY THOMLINS, or TIMOTHY TOMLINS, Lynn, a freeman 4 March 1633, Representative in almost every Court from 1635 to 1640.

JOHN TOMPKINS, Salem 1637, a freeman 18 May 1642, by wife who I guess to be named Margaret, had Hannah, baptized 10 February 1639, born some months before and died soon after; Elizabeth, 9 May 1639, died young; Hannah, again, 21 February 1641; Sarah, 1 January 1643; John, 16 February 1645; Elizabeth again, born 29 November 1646, baptized 17 January 1647; Mary, baptized 29 April 1649; and Deborah, 8 June 1651, who married 5 November 1671, Nathaniel Silsbee. His wife Margaret died 18 July 1672, and in September 1673 he married Mary Read, and died 23 June 1681. Hannah married 26 June 1660, Hugh Jones; Sarah married 1 August 1663, John Waters; and Mary married 29 November 1670, John Felton, all of Salem. But this inventory of 30 June 1681, mentioned oldest son Nathaniel, probably born in England, and Priscilla, probably the youngest, who married 14 August 1679, Samuel Marsh.

JOHN TOMPKINS, Salem, son of the preceding, married 26 June 1672, Rebecca Knight, had Margaret, born 8 March following; John, 3 September 1674; Rebecca, 19 July 1676; Nathaniel, 20 September 1678; Elizabeth, 14 March 1681; Mary, 28 May 1686; Deborah, 8 January 1688, when the wife died.

JOHN TOMPKINS, Concord, had Ruth, born 1 June 1640; and John, 25 September 1642; removed in less than two years to Fairfield, there in 1669 was propounded for a freeman, sold land in 1673, and probably lived at East Chester.

MICAH TOMPKINS, or MICHAEL TOMPKINS, Wethersfield, removed to Milford 1639, and Lambert says he died 1649; but of that I find cause to doubt, for in Trumbull's Colony record II. 513, may be seen verification in 1661 and 5 by Michael Tompkins of Milford, who must be thought the same person, as only one with this prefix is mentioned for a long course of years. He removed with a great company of friends to New Jersey, 1666, and July 1667 bought large tract from Indians on the Passaic river, where now is the city of Newark. See Whitehead, 42, 3. By wife Mary, he had at Milford, Jonathan and Mary, both baptized 17 Dec 1643, soon after he and his wife had joined the church; Elizabeth, February 1645; David, 1647, died at 2 years by casual; Seth, 1649; Rebecca, born 2 November 1653; Abigail, 1655; Micah, baptized at New Haven, 27 November 1659.

NATHANIEL TOMPKINS, Newport 1675, temporarily residing at Boston, a merchant in 1681; may be the same who was of East Chester several years before, but for permanent living at Newport, where by wife Elizabeth, he had Nathaniel, born 31 December 1676, perhaps died very soon; Mary, 16 September 1677, died young; Priscilla, 24 May 1679; Samuel, 11 May 1681; and Mary, again, 20 October 1685.

RALPH TOMPKINS, Dorchester, freeman 2 May 1638, removed about 1647 to Salem, there died probably in 1666, as his inventory is of 12 November of that year.

SAMUEL TOMPKINS, Duxbury 1640, had married 1639, Lettice Foster, probably sister of Edward Foster of Scituate, one of the grantees of Bridgewater 1645, was perhaps son of Ralph Tompkins.

GEORGE TONGUE, New London, by wife Margery, had Elizabeth, born 20 October 1652; Hannah, 20 July 1654; Mary, 17 September 1656; and George, 8 May 1658; kept the inn, had good estate and died 1674. His daughter Elizabeth married Fitz John Winthrop, who became Governor of the Colony. Hannah married Joshua Baker; and Mary married 6 November 1676, John Wickwire.

STEPHEN TONGUE, Salisbury, by wife Mary, who died 24 April 1700, had Deborah, born 8 July 1687; Mary, 24 July 1689; Joanna, 28 December 1691, died soon; Sarah, 11 February 1694; and Stephen, 9 December 1696.

JOHN TOOGOOD, JOHN TOWGOOD, or JOHN TWOGOOD, a servant of Thomas Marshfield, who had about 1640, run away from his master at Springfield.

JOHN TOOGOOD, JOHN TOWGOOD, or JOHN TWOGOOD, and JOHN TOOGOOD, JOHN TOWGOOD, or JOHN TWOGOOD, junior were soldiers in Gallop’s Company 1690.

NATHANIEL TOOGOOD, NATHANIEL TOWGOOD, or NATHANIEL TWOGOOD, Swanzey, 1669, removed to Boston, by wife Elizabeth, had John, there born 20 April 1679; and Elizabeth, 25 July 1682.

THOMAS TOOGOOD, THOMAS TOWGOOD, or THOMAS TWOGOOD, of which good story is related by Niles in his history of Indian Wars in 3 Massachusetts history Collection VI.

JOHN TOOKEY, or JOHN TUKEY, Charlestown, died after 1665, his will of 16 August in that year probated 2 March 1668, leaves us to infer that he had neither wife nor children as he names only his master William Batchelder, and his dame widow Bridget Wines.

CHRISTOPHER TOOLLY, CHRISTOPHER TOLLY, or CHRISTOPHER TOOLEY, Killingworth, by wife Elizabeth, had Agnes, born 1684; Judith, 1687; Andrew, 1690; Christopher and Elizabeth, twins 1692; William, 1694; John, 1697; Mary, 1700; Joanna, 1702; and Esther, 1705. The name may have passed into Tully.

EDMUND TOOLLY, EDMUND TOLLY, or EDMUND TOOLEY, New Haven, 1644, died 19 April 1685, without wife or children, probably unmarried, certainly poor.

THOMAS TOOLLY, THOMAS TOLLY, or THOMAS TOOLEY, Newport 1651, in the list of a freeman 1655, may be the man who at Lynn had Thomas, born 3 August 1665.

ROGER TOOTHACKER, ROGER TOOTHACRE, or ROGER TOOTHAKER, came in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, from London 1635, aged 23, with his wife Margaret, and son Roger, 1 year, died early, and it is not known where he sat down, but in 1638, his widow married Ralph Hill of Woburn, who soon after 1653 removed To Billerica, and died 1663, in his will of 10 November 1662, named his wife Margaret, and her son Roger Toothaker. She lived to 22 December 1683,

ROGER TOOTHACKER, ROGER TOOTHACRE, or ROGER TOOTHAKER, Billerica, son of the preceding, had Roger, who also had Roger, and all were, says Farmer, physicians. In May 1692, one Roger Toothacker, of Billerica, probably this yearling of 1635, was arrested for witchcraft, and he may have been guilty of performing some unexpected cure, clearly showing diabolic aid.

CLEMENT TOPLIFFE, Dorchester 1636, by wife Sarah, had Jonathan, born April 1637; Sarah, May 1639; Obedience, October 1642; Samuel, 7 May 1646; and Patience. He was born it is said 17 November 1603, a freeman 13 May 1640, when the name is written Tapley, and died 24 December 1672, says the valuable account in Genealogical Registrar V. 466, but it strangely contradicts itself in counting that date as his 69th instead of 70th year. His widow died 29 July 1693, aged 88, or as that account has it in her 88th year. Sarah married 11 May 1659 David Jones; Obedience married 20 February 1660, David Copp; and Patience married 27 March 1667, Nathaniel Homes. Sometimes it was written Tapliff by which probably came the error of Tapley.

SAMUEL TOPLIFFE, Dorchester, son of the preceding, a freeman 1673, by wife Patience, had Mehitable, born 29 August 1673, died soon; Samuel, 19 August 1675, died at 19 years; Patience, 24 January 1677; Thankful, 22 February 1679; Jonathan, 23 Sep 1682, died at 18 years; Waitstill, 6 November 1684; Joseph, 24 April 1687; Ebenezer, 14 February 1689, died at 32 years; Nathaniel, 7 September 1692; Samuel, 30 May 1695; and Sarah, 4 November 1698; was Deacon 9 years, and Ruling elder 21 years after. Died 10 or 12 October 1722, and his widow died 8 September 1728, in her 76th year and one account says aged 76.

JAMES TORREY or JAMES TORIE, Scituate, Lieutenant in 1640, married 2 November 1643, Ann Hatch, daughter of Elder William Hatch, had James, born 3 September 1644; William, 15 March 1647, probably died young; Joseph, 18 March 1649; Damaris, 26 October 1651; Jonathan, 20 September 1654; Mary, 14 February 1657; Josiah, 1658; Sarah, 9 February 1661; Joanna, 4 May 1663; and Bethia, posthumous 1665. What was the day of his death is unknown.

JAMES TORREY or JAMES TORIE, Scituate, eldest child of the preceding, married 1666, Lydia Wills, only daughter of William Wills or William Willis, as Deane shows, but of issue says nothing, and had second wife married 1679, Elizabeth Rawlins, daughter of Nathaniel Rawlins; and he had another wife or perhaps it was the same, who in Dorchester grave yard by the name of Eunice, widow of Deacon James, died there 15 October 1732, in her 72nd year which agrees with the age of the death of Rawlins.

JONATHAN TORREY or JONATHAN TORIE, Weymouth, probably son of William Torrey the first, by wife Ruth Fry, daughter of George Fry of the same, had Mary, born 25 September 1675; Ruth, 17 August 1679; Ann, 3 March 1682; Jonathan, 24 May 1684; Joshua, 11 November 1690; and perhaps others, where the record is defect.

JOSEPH TORREY or JOSEPH TORIE, Rehoboth 1643, went to Newport in 1654 or earlier, was on the freemen's list 1655; with an associate met Dennis and Danforth, Massachusetts Commissioners in 1664 at Rehoboth, about some question of jurisdiction, was a Lieutenant, and in 1670 sent with John Greene and others as commissioners to adjust bounds with Connecticut, Ruling elder of the church of John Clark, at the time of his death 1676. Perhaps he married a daughter who may have been the eldest, of that John Greene, as by the Genealogy I have seen.

JOSIAH TORREY or JOSIAH TORIE, Medfield, a freeman 1683, was perhaps, son of James Torrey the first of Scituate.

MICAJAH TORREY or MICAJAH TORIE, Weymouth, son of the first William Torrey of the same, a freeman 1672, by wife Susanna, had Micajah, born 27 July 1673; Mary, 22 March 1681; Susanna, who died 29 October 1687; Samuel, 15 January 1688; and perhaps others, not found on imperfect record.

PHILIP TORREY or PHILIP TORIE, Roxbury, from Combe St. Nicholas, County Somerset, near Chard, in the edge of Devon, was a freeman 1644, married 1 October 1647, Mary, widow of John Scarborough, had Joseph, born 2, baptized 15 July 1649; Jonathan, 16, baptized 22 June 1651; and Mary, 2, baptized 9 April 1654; and died about 12 May 1686. In March 1674, aged 59, he testified that he came with William Torrey and his son Samue Torreyl to New England from Combe St. Nicholas in Somersetshire, that he knew them before and ever since; and George Fry united in the famed testimony.

SAMUEL TORREY or SAMUEL TORIE, Weymouth, eldest son of William Torrey of the same, was brought in early youth, 1640, by his father with Philip Torrey, perhaps his uncle, perhaps a cousin, and though passing through the first prescribed course of study for three years would have taken his A.B. in 1650, yet because the term was lengthened to 4 years he and others, as Dr. Eliot in Biographical Dictionary tells, left the College. His father had given him the first classical preparation and he had so improved his opportunity that he had great reputation as a minister and was ordained 14 February 1665, to succeed Thomas Thatcher, having preached some years at Hull. He preached the elected sermon 1674, again in 1683, again 1695, an honor in no other instance conferred in Massachusetts and was so highly esteemed for his discretion, as to be chosen President of the College in 1681, after the death of Oakes, and again, after death of Rogers; but in his history of Harvard College notice of these things by Mather is not founded. However, it seems that the General Court record V. 345, gave him the same encouragement to accept as they had offered to Increase Mather. Both applications were in vain. He married 15 May 1657, Mary Rawson, daughter of Edward Rawson, when he lived at Hull, and for second wife 30 July 1695, Mary, widow of William Symmes, though what was her maiden name is undiscoved. Nor is my knowledge any better as to children or whether he had any. He was a freeman 1669, and having preached about 50 years. Died 21 April 1707, aged 75. I suppose in 1703 he record a colleague In Reverend James Bailey. See 1 Massachusetts history Collection IX. 195.

WILLIAM TORREY or WILLIAM TORIE, Weymouth 1640, came that year from Combe St. Nicholas, close to Chard, in County Somerset, bringing son Samuel, and accompanied by George Fry and Philip Torrey, who may have been his brother or near relative, here soon found a second wife, if as to me seems probable the mother of Samuel were dead, had Naomi, born 3 December 1641; Mary, 3 December 1642; Micajah, 12 October 1643, unless as is very probable there be error in the record printed in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 349. By the failure of records in a long interval, we lose perhaps half a dozen other children certainly William and Jonathan. He was administered a freeman 18 May 1642, Representative 1642, and very often after even 1679-83, and after overthrow of Andros in 1690, was only Lieutenant and later Captain, chosen clerk of the house of Representatives 1650, and usually after having as Johnson says, special qualifications in that office. His will of 15 May 1686, named eldest son Samuel, and the others, William, Micajah, Josiah, and Angel, was probated July 1691.

WILLIAM TORREY or WILLIAM TORIE, Weymouth, second son of the preceding, a freeman 1672, by wife Deborah, had William, born 14 September 1670; John, 23 June 1673; Philip, 2 May 1681; Josiah, 19 September 1686, and perhaps others omitted from the record. Farmer marks nineteen of this name as graduates in 1834, at New England Colleges, of which ten are seen at Harvard, including one Torry and one at Yale.

ELIJAH TOTENHAM, Woburn, son of Henry Totenham of the same, by wife Mary, had Ann, born 24 September 1685; Mary, 18 April 1688; Sarah, 13 July 1690; Elisha, 22 July 1696; Elizabeth, 8 February 1699; Alice, 10 June 1701; Arminell, 30 July 1707; and by wife Rebecca, had Rebecca, 4 August 1710.

HENRY TOTENHAM, Woburn, had Nehemiah, born 23 August 1646; Elijah, 28 February 1652; and his wife Ann died 23 February 1654; and he married 13 July following wife Alice, but had no children by her. He was one of the bold petitioners for liberty of prophecy, 30 August 1653. See 3 Massachusetts history Collection I. 44.

STEPHEN TOTMAN, Scituate, son of Thomas Totman, had Stephen and Samuel; but from Deane I learn no more.

JOSEPH TOUCHWILL, is the name of a soldier in Captain Mosely's Company on March in December 1675, to the great Narraganset fight; but how much is may be distorted on the roster in uncertain.

JAMES TOUNG, or JAMES TONG, Boston, master-mariner, married 8 September 1654, Elizabeth Hagborne, daughter of Abraham Hagborne, and died at Jamaica next year, in his will gives all his property to wife who took administration 17 July 1656.

ABRAHAM TOURTELLOT, or ABRAHAM TOURTELOT, Boston, a Huguenot merchant, was partner with his brother.

BENJAMIN TOURTELLOT, or BENJAMIN TOURTELOT, who died 15 September 1687, on a voyage from London to Boston in the Friendship; and he acted as administrator on the estate by the inventory of which consisted in part of merchandise, it is inferred that they had carried on trade extensive. He lived at Roxbury, some years after there by wife Mary, had Gabriel, born 24 September 1694; and Esther, 12 June 1696.

GABRIEL TOURTELLOT, or GABRIEL TOURTELOT, Boston, perhaps brother of the preceding, was born at Bordeaux in France, as is related but came from Rochelle in Company with Gabriel Bernon, whose daughter Mary Bernon he married, and it is said he died at sea. But that he had children is known by many descendants, probably the family removed to Oxford, as in that vicinity. The name is still perpetuated.

RICHARD TOUSLAND, RICHARD TOUSLEY, RICHARD TOWSE, or RICHARD TOUSEY, Saybrook, perhaps had a wife and family before 1666, but in this year made contract of marriage with Dorothy, widow of John Edwards, who had been widow of Abraham Finch, of Wethersfield, died early in February 1674, given back to his wife the property she brought him.

THOMAS TOUSLAND, THOMAS TOUSLEY, THOMAS TOWSE, or THOMAS TOUSEY, Wethersfield, perhaps son of the preceding, by a first wife, did not live at Wethersfield before 1674, was a weaver, an enterprising man, had in company with William Pitkin, a fulling-mill in Hartford; died 1712, aged 62; had Thomas Tousland, Yale College 1707, ancester of the late Secretary of the Navy, besides Elizabeth.

RICHARD TOUTE, Scituate 1643, then able to bear arms, but no more is heard of him, except that in 1663, he was of Boston, a lighterman.

JOHN TOUTON, a Huguenot physician of Rochelle in France, with others petitioned our General Court as early as 1662, for permission to remove higher; and their prayer was granted, but whether any other than came is not apparent. He lived at Rehoboth, July 1675.

DAVID TOWER, or DAVID TOWERS, Hingham, perhaps son of John Tower, more probably his grandson, perished in the doleful expedition of Phips against Quebec, 1690, but as he died of smallpox, I conclude it occurred as did many others, before the squadron left our harbor.

JEREMIAH TOWER, or JEREMIAH TOWERS, Salisbury, perhaps son of John Tower of Hingham, married Elizabeth Goodale, daughter of Richard Goodale.

JOHN TOWER, or JOHN TOWERS, Hingham 1637, came from Hingham in County Norfolk it is said, a freeman 13 March 1639, married February preceding, or following Margaret Ibrook, daughter probably of Richard Ibrook, had Ambrose, Benjamin, born 5 November 1654m Jonathan, Hannah, and Jeremiah; but perhaps he had son John, at least we know that he was described as John senior. He was engaged in early plantation at Lancaster, 1654, and descendants are very numerous.

HENRY TOWLE, HENRY TOWEL, HENRY TOALE, HENRY TOLE, HENRY TOLL, HENRY TOULE, or HENRY TOWELL, Wethersfield, removed to Saybrook soon after 1668, had wife Sarah, and one child probably Henry, deserted his wife who in 1676 was divorced for his desertion about six years as in Trumbull's Colony record II. 293, with liberty if shall "have opportunity to join herself in marriage with another man."

HENRY TOWLE, HENRY TOWEL, HENRY TOALE, HENRY TOLE, HENRY TOLL, HENRY TOULE, or HENRY TOWELL, New Haven, son probably of the preceding, married 13 April 1693, Dorothy Thomas, daughter of Daniel Thomas.

JOHN TOWLE, JOHN TOWEL, JOHN TOALE, JOHN TOLE, JOHN TOLL, JOHN TOULE, or JOHN TOWELL, Sudbury, by wife Catharine, had John, born 20 November 1641, who died 31 January 1643; Mary, born 8 December 1643; and, again, John, who died 8 January 1657.

JOSHUA TOWLE, JOSHUA TOWEL, JOSHUA TOALE, JOSHUA TOLE, JOSHUA TOLL, JOSHUA TOULE, or JOSHUA TOWELL, whose marriage 2 December 1686, with Sarah Reed, is recorded as perhaps of Hampton.

PHILIP TOWLE, PHILIP TOWEL, PHILIP TOALE, PHILIP TOLE, PHILIP TOLL, PHILIP TOULE, or PHILIP TOWELL, Hampton 1670, had probably been an early settler, for Philip Towle junior took the oath of allegiance 1678, some months before his father who died 1696.

ROGER TOWLE, ROGER TOWEL, ROGER TOALE, ROGER TOLE, ROGER TOLL, ROGER TOULE, or ROGER TOWELL, Boston 1640, in Colony record is called servant to Mr. Henry Webb, which means, I suppose, apprentice. Was a freeman 1644, having been administered of the church with the same designation 20 April preceding.

WILLIAM TOWLE, WILLIAM TOWEL, WILLIAM TOALE, WILLIAM TOLE, WILLIAM TOLL, WILLIAM TOULE, or WILLIAM TOWELL, Malden, by wife Mary, had Benjamin, born 2 November 1689, or January 1690; for the person who made the copy of the record changed the dates for Genealogical Registrar VI. 335, in most cases by mistaking the numerals for the month.

EDMUND TOWNE, Topsfield, was eldest son of William Towne, who probably was son of Richard Towne, Braceby, County Lincoln, where Ann, widow of said Richard, made her will 10 December 1629, of whose copy is in Genealogical Registrar X. 36. Braceby is 6 miles from Grantham and 5 from Folkenham. He came, 1637, probably in the Rose of Yarmouth, aged 18, as apprentice to Henry Skerry of Salem, married Mary Browning, daughter of Thomas Browning, had Thomas; William, born 1658; Joseph, 1661; Abigail; Benjamin, 1666; Rebecca; Samuel, 1673; Mary; Sarah; Elizabeth; and another daughter; and he died early in 1678. Abigail married 12 January 1686, Jacob Peabody; and next, 14 January 1696, Thomas Perley. Abstract of his will, of which widow Mary had administration, is in Essex Institute II. 277.

JACOB TOWNE, Salem 1637, had Joseph and Sarah, perhaps not twins, baptized there, 3 September 1648.

JACOB TOWNE, Topsfield, born in England, brother of Edmund Towne of the same, married 26 June 1657, Catharine Symonds, daughter of John Symonds of Salem, had John, born 2 April 1658; Jacob, 13 February 1660; Catharine, 25 February 1662; Deliverance, 5 August 1664; Edmund, 21 July 1666; and Ruth; a freeman 1686, died 22 November 1704, and his will was probated 1 January 1705.

JACOB TOWNE, Topsfield, son of the preceding, many have been, instead of his father, a freeman 1686, married 24 June 1684, Phebe Smith, had Joshua, born 1684; John, 1685; and Abigail, 1689, according to Barry.

JOHN TOWNE, Topsfield, son of Jacob Towne first of the same, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 23 June 1681; John, 25 November 1682, died young; Israel, 18 November 1684; Esther, 1686; Ephraim; David, about 1694; Samuel; Edmund, 7 May 1699; removed to Framingham, and had John, 31 May 1702; Zerviah; and Jonathan; was a selectman, 1700-1712 most of the time, and a proprietor in new plantation of Oxford. His will was probated 1740.

JOSEPH TOWNE, Topsfield, youngest son of William Towne of the same, married Phebe Perkins, daughter of Deacon Thomas Perkins, had Phebe, born 1666; Joanna; Mary; Susanna; Joseph, 22 March 1673; Sarah; Martha; John, 20 February 1678; and another daughter. Was a freeman 1690; and died 1713.

JOSEPH TOWNE, Topsfield, son of Edmund Towne, had two wives, of which Emma, married 1687, was perhaps second. Whether by the former, Phebe, he had any, is not ascertained, but children were Benjamin, Daniel, Nathan, Jesse, Nathaniel, Amos, and Emma; and he died 1717.

PETER TOWNE, Cambridge, son of William Towne of the same, baptized in England, had wife Joanna, and I know no more, but that he was a freeman 1690, and died 2 November 1705, aged 72 years 10 months, as Harris gives the inscription.

THOMAS TOWNE, Lynn, married at Reading 30 October 1662, Hannah, of unknown surname; gave evidence In 1681, then aged 50, a lands, died at Reading 1684. Perhaps it is Tower.

THOMAS TOWNE, Topsfield, son of Edmund Towne of the same, in early youth was in the flower of Essex under Captain Lothrop, on Connecticut river in 1675, but perhaps not present at Bloody Brook, married 1685, Sarah French, perhaps daughter of John French of Ipswich, had Edmund, Thomas, Richard, Experience, Sarah, Ednah, and Mercy; and died about 1720.

WILLIAM TOWNE, Salem, had married at Yarmouth, County Norfolk, 25 March 1620 or 1, Joanna Blessing, and probably came over the water, 1635, though in what ship is not seen; in December 1640, he had grant of land at Salem, but Felt spells the name Townde. He removed to Topsfield about 1651; and his children baptized at Yarmouth were Rebecca, February 1622; John, February 1624; Susanna, October 1625; Edmund, June 1628; Jacob, March 1633; Mary, 24 August 1634; and at Salem, Sarah; and Joseph, born 1639; and died 1672, leaving all these children except John and Susanna. Farmer in MS makes him a freeman of 1637, in which I do not concur. His widow lived about ten years. Rebecca married Francis Nurse, had eight children and was excuted for a witchcraft, 19 July 1692, to which her deafness was the chief inducement. Mary married Isaac Esty, had two daughters, and was tried on 9^th, executed 22 September 1692, under the same said infatuation. She was the heroic woman, that in our day gives dignity to the cause, as set forth in Chandler's Criminal Trials. Sarah married 11 January 1660. Edmund Bridge or Bridges, had five children, and next married Peter Cloyes, had two or three more, and was a great sufferer in the witchcraft proceedings. Barely escaped with life.

WILLIAM TOWNE, Cambridge 1635, freeman 18 April 1637, had wife Martha, who died 20 January 1674, son Peter, baptized in England died Mary, born 6 September 1637, baptized at Cambridge, was town clerk 1639, bought in 1653 a house of David Stone, was tythingman 1680, and died aged 80, 30 April 1685, though Harris gives the record March which I disregarded, as Sewall, in two places, notes his burial 1 May.

ANDREW TOWNSEND, Lynn, perhaps son or grandson of Thomas Townsend of the same, a soldier in Gardner's Company at the great battle, 19 December 1675, of the Narraganset campaign, when he was wounded for who in 1730, he asked pension; married 18 July 1678, Abigail Collins, probably daughter of John Collins, of the same, had Thomas, born 12 June 1679; Abigail, 23 February 1681; and Mary, 7 July 1685; was a freeman 1691.

GEORGE TOWNSEND, Reading, by Eaton named among early settlers, may have been brother of John Townsend of the same.

GEORGE TOWNSEND, Warwick, son of John Townsend of the same, married Meribah Harcutt, daughter of Richard Harcutt.

HENRY TOWNSEND, Warwick, on the list of a freeman 1655, of which I know no more, except that he married Ann Cole, a daughter of Robert Cole. He may have been son of Thomas Townsend of Lynn, and settled at Oyster Bay on Long Island.

JAMES TOWNSEND, Boston, son of William Townsend, a carpenter, by wife Elizabeth, had James Townsend, baptized 2 July 1671, Harvard College 1692; John, 14 December 1672; Mary, 10 January 1675, died young; Joseph, born 24 January 1678; Elizabeth, 18 July 1684; Mary, again, 27 October 1687; and Ann, 26 February 1690, posthumous, was a freeman 1672. He was a housewright, artillery company 1679, and before 17 December 1689, died intestate when administration was refused by his widow.

JOHN TOWNSEND, Lynn, perhaps son of Thomas Townsend, and born in England, was of artillery company 1641, and of the early settlers on Long Island.

JOHN TOWNSEND, Warwick, among the freemen there of 1655, may have been brother of Henry Townsend, or the same as the preceding, had Rose, who married John Wicks the second. His eldest child was John; and others were Thomas, Elizabeth, James, Sarah, Ann, George, and Daniel. His wife was Elizabeth Cole, daughter of Robert Cole. He died at Oyster Bay 1669.

JOHN TOWNSEND, Reading, a freeman 1678, may have been brother of George Townsend.

JOHN TOWNSEND, Lynn, married 27 January 1669, Sarah Pearson, daughter of John Pearson of the same, had Sarah, born 14 September 1672; John, 17 March 1675; Mary 2 September 1677; Hannah, 11 February 1680; and Elizabeth, 9 November 1683. Perhaps he was a grandson of Thomas Townsend.

JOSEPH TOWNSEND, Boston, by wife Mary, had Joseph, born 23 December 1665; and second wife Dorothy, perhaps was of Falmouth 1682.

MARTIN TOWNSEND, Watertown, a weaver, married 16 April 1668, Abigail Trail, daughter of John Trail, had Abigail, born 18 September 1669; Martin; Hannah, 6 October 1673, died at 2 years; John, 26 May 1679, died at 4 years; Jonathan, April 1688, died at 3 months; Jonathan, again; and his wife died 16 January 1691; and he married 30 August 1693, Esther Perry of Woburn; but no more children is known. He was a witness 7 April 1691, when he called his age 47, and died in few years.

His wife died 11 March 1692, and he married Mary Leverett, widow of Paul Dudley, daughter of Governor Leverett, who was buried 5 July 1691; and for third wife who outlived him, he took Hannah, widow of George Jaffrey, Esq. of New Hampshire. He was of artillery company 1674, a freeman 1674, very much confident in for public concerns, Representative 1686, being the last Court under the old Charter and on the overthrow of Andros, was rechosen almost every time for some years, went as commissioner with Hutchinson 1691, to make peace with Indians, speaker of the house, and Counselor many years, served through all the ranks in the military from Ensign to Colonel and died 21 August 1727.

PETER TOWNSEND, Boston, carpenter, son of William Townsend of the same, by wife Lydia, had William, born 13 September 1666; Susanna, 22 February 1668, who died soon; Susanna, again, 20 February 1670; Peter, 9 October 1671; Lydia, 5 August 1673; and Thomas; by wife Margaret, had Margaret, born 13 June 1677; by wife Ann, had Hannah, 27 October 1687; and died 14 May 1696.

RICHARD TOWNSEND, Warwick, of the freemen 1655, was probably brother of Henry Townsend, and married Deliverance Cole, daughter of Robert Cole, had John, Richard, Dinah, Leah, and Hannah, of which Dinah married Thomas Willet, and Leah married John Williams, both perhaps of Newtown, Long Island, and for second wife he took Elizabeth Wicks, daughter of John Wicks. His widow married John Smith of Hempstead, Long Island, where probably Townsend died.

ROBERT TOWNSEND, Portsmouth, in 1665 supported the jurisdiction of Massachusetts and had probably removed from Ipswich.

SAMUEL TOWNSEND, Boston, lived at Rumney Marsh, Chelsea, by wife Abigail, had David, born 29 September 1666; Jonathan, 10 September 1668; perhaps, also, Samuel, and more children, was a freeman 1683, having joined the Second Church 18 September 1681.

THOMAS TOWNSEND, Lynn, a freeman of 14 March 1639, who died 22 December 1677, is thought to have had Thomas, Henry, and John, born probably in England, all early engaged in settlement on Long Island.

THOMAS TOWNSEND, Boston, perhaps brother of Samuel Townsend the first, with wife Mary,administered into the Second Church 30 October 1681, was a freeman 1683, but of him I know no more.

WILLIAM TOWNSEND, Boston, administered of the church 3 August 1634, the same day with Governor Bellingham and his wife, with John Newgate and the wife of our brother Nicholas Wyllys, of who William Townsend is then called servant, so that we may well infer, that he came early that year from London. The simplicity of character was exhibited in the puritan's household, and this stile of service did not imply inferior condition so much as obligated to learn, otherwise, in case of males, term apprentice. His wife Hannah Penn, who had joined the church 15 March 1635, is called "our brother James Everill's maid servant", was sister of the Ruling Elder, James Penn and if she came with her master, and her husband with his, as the principles were recorded in July preceding, we may believe they all came in one ship. He was a freeman 25 May 1636, had Eliezur, 12 June 1635; Patience, baptized 28 May 1637; Hannah, born 4, baptized 1 April 1641; Peter 26, baptized 30 October 1641; Mary, 24 November 1644; James, born 15 January 1647; Penn, 20 December 1651; John, 3 September 1653, died next year; and Mary, who died 29 November 1658. With the major part of the Boston church he was adhered of Wheelwright's opinion and subjected in November 1637, to the indignation of being disarmed as a dangerous heretic, but was not of sufficient age or importance to be driven away. He died before December 1689, and his widow died before 6 February 1700, when administration de bonis non on estate of her husband was given to son Penn. Hannah, married 3 April 1657, Thomas Hull, and next, as Whitman says, Lieutenant Richard Way. Farmer found, in 1834, sixteen of this name among graduates at Harvard, six at Yale, and five at other New England Colleges.

MICHAEL TOWSLY, Salisbury, had been in Philip's war, 1676, a soldier of Hampton, married 4 June 1678, Mary Hussey, perhaps dauaghter of Christopher Hussey, had Mary, born 17 March 1679, died soon; removed to Suffield, next year had Mary, again, 12 January 1681; Matthew, 18 November 1690; and perhaps others. Mary married 1699, Benjamin Allen.

RICHARD TOZER, RICHARD TOSIER, or RICHARD TOZIER, Dover, lived first at Boston, married a daughter of Robert Blott, who died soon, and he married at Boston, 3 July 1656, Judith Smith, had Thomas, born 5 May 1657; Richard, before 1660; and probably others; certainly Elizabeth, who married Richard Randall, and Martha, who married 22 November 1678, Nathan Lord; was mortally wounded 16 October 1675, at the Indians asault of Salmon Falls, and died soon at Kittery.

RICHARD TOZER, RICHARD TOSIER, or RICHARD TOZIER, Berwick, son of the preceding, married Elizabeth Wentworth, only daughter of Elder William Wentworth, had Martha, Abigail, Sarah, Judith, and perhaps more; lived 22 September 1734. His wife and himself were prisoners in Canada more than once; but both were living January 1733, when he swore he was 73 years old.

SIMON TOZER, SIMON TOSIER, or SIMON TOZIER, Watertown, perhaps son of Richard Tozer the first, fleeing from Indians hostility, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 16 August 1693; John, 8 October 1695; Richard and Abigail, twins 26 July 1701; Susanna, 27 January 1703; and Judith, 4 January 1705.

DANIEL TRACEY, Norwich, son of Thomas Tracey of the same, married 1682, Abigail Adgate, daughter of Thomas Adgate of Saybrook, and was killed 1728, with others, by fall of a bridge, says Miss Caulkins, who does not mention any children, though we may believe, that he, as well as his brothers had family.

JOHN TRACEY, Duxbury, son of Stephen Tracey, who was one of the first comers, married Mary Prence, daughter of Governor Prence, had Sarah; Stephen, 1673; perhaps others; removed to Windham, there died 30 May 1718; was Representative 1683 and 6.

JOHN TRACEY, Norwich, eldest son of Thomas Tracey, married at Marshfield, 10 June 1670, Mary Winslow, daughter of the first Josiah Winslow, had Elizabeth, born 6 April 1690; died 16 August 1702.

STEPHEN TRACEY, Plymouth, came in the Ann, 1623, with wife Tryphosa (whom he married at Leyden, 2 January 1621, when the Dutch record has the name Trifasa, and surname illegible) and one child probably Sarah, counted in the division of lands In the ensuing spring for three heads, and in the division of cattle 1627, another child Rebecca is counted. Had Ruth, Mary, and John, born 1633; in 1645 was of Duxbury, and in 1650, or near that, went home in the early part of 1655. Called himself of Great Yarmouth, by his will, made in London, of which John Winslow was made executor, names the five children to whom he gives all his property, so that we must presume the wife was dead. Sarah married George Partridge.

THOMAS TRACEY, Salem 1637, carpenter, removed soon to Saybrook, thence in few years to Wethersfield, or Hartford, perhaps both, but at last took up permanent residence at Norwich, of which he was one of the parents. Representative 1662, and almost always after, Ensign long, and Lieutenant. His eldest child was John; other children he had, as Caulkins, page 112 shows; Jonathan; Thomas; Solomon; Daniel, born about 1653; Samuel; and Miriam, who married November 1668, Thomas Waterman. He was Commissary in Philip's war.

WILLIAM TRACEY, is the first name on the list of passengers in the Mary and John, who took oath of allegiance 24 March 1634, and as so many of his companions over the ocean, sat down at Newbury after temporary residence at Ipswich, we may be justified in thinking that he did so; and possibly he is ancestor of those who gave high distinction to this name near a century ago in that place. Farmer marks in 1834, that nine of this name had been graduates at Yale, three at Harvard, and eight at other New England Colleges, most at Dartmouth.

JOHN TRAIN, Watertown, came in the Susan and Ellen 1635, aged 25, from London, perhaps as servant of Percival Greene, with Abigail Dix, aged 18, also called servant by wife Margaret, who probably was their fellow passenger, had Elizabeth, born 30 September 1640; Mary, 10 October 1642; Sarah, 31 January 1647; Abigail, 31 January 1649; John, 25 May or September 1651; Thomas, 1653; Rebecca; and Hannah, 7 or 8 September 1657; his wife died 18 December 1660. He married 12 October 1675, Abigail Bent, swore fidelity 1652, and died 29 January 1681; Elizabeth married 10 March 1658, John Stratton; Sarah married 12 October 1679, as Bond has it, though certainly several years I guess ten, too late, Jacob Cole; Abigail married 16 April 1668, Martin Townsend; Rebecca, married 12 January 1677, Michael Barstow; and Hannah married 16 January 1678, Richard Child.

JOHN TRAIN, Watertown, son of the preceding, married 24 March 1675, Mary Stubbs, daughter of Joshua Stubbs, had John, born December following, died very soon; Abigail, 5 June 1677; Elizabeth, 6 January 1680; John, again, 31 October 1682; Margaret, 18 August 1685; Thomas, 20 May 1688; and perhaps Rebecca. He died 1718.

THOMAS TRAIN, Watertown, brother of the preceding, married 25 January 1693, Rebecca Stearns, daughter of Charles Stearns, had Benoni, born and died that year; Rebecca, April 1696, died next month; Deborah, 16 December 1698, died at 20 years; Rebecca, again, 1 December 1701; and he died 23 January 1739. His widow died 23 September 1746.

THOMAS TRAPP, honored by tradition as one of the first settlers on Martha’s Vineyard, some time between 1632 and 1642, but authentic history knows nothing of him. Yet one of the same name who may have been his son, died at Edgartown, 15 October 1719, in his 85th year, testified in Boston, July 1659, that he was a mariner, aged 20.

JOHN TRARICE, JOHN TRERICE, JOHN TRERISE, JOHN TREYRICE, JOHN TREREISE, or JOHN TREROICE, Charlestown, son of Nicholas Trarice of the same, by wife Hannah Lynde, daughter of Thomas Lynde, married 1663, had Nicholas; John; Hannah, perhaps the eldest, all baptized 18 June 1671; and Rebecca, 14 September 1673.

NICHOLAS TRARICE, NICHOLAS TRERICE, NICHOLAS TRERISE, NICHOLAS TREYRICE, NICHOLAS TREREISE, or NICHOLAS TREROICE, Charlestown, administered, says Frothingham, a townsman in 1636, had been the two years before Captain of the Planter, who brought many persons from London, by wife Rebecca, had Rebecca; John, born 26 May, baptized 3 June 1639; was fined for contempt of Court 1641, removed early to Woburn, there had Samuel, 7 May 1643. His daughter Rebecca married 22 May 1655, Thomas Jenner. His widow Rebecca married 6 December 1665, Thomas Lynde . Barry, Framingham, 422, mistook the name Travis.

BENJAMIN TRASK, Beverly, son of Osmond Trask, married Mary Shattuck, daughter of Samuel Shattuck of Salem.

EDWARD TRASK, Beverly, son of Osmond Trask of the same, a soldier in Lothrop's company called flower of Essex, killed at Bloody brook, 18 September 1675.

HENRY TRASK, Salem, came in the Mary and John 1634, married Mary Southwick, daughter of Lawrence Southwick, had Mary, born 14 August 1652; Ann, 14 April 1654; Sarah, 27 July 1656; and Henry, April 1669; and perhaps removed with his injured father-in-law to enjoy the protection of the Sylvesters in their manorial estate at Shelter Island at the East end of Long Island. If so, he came back, and his wife was imprisoned many months for her perverse religion. But probably it was before removal, he died about 1689, and his widow married William Nichols of Topsfield. His name is perverted to Thask in the valuable Essex Institute Collection II. 277.

JOHN TRASK, Salem, son of Captain William Trask, married 19 February 1663, Abigail Parkman, perhaps daughter of the first Elias Parkman, had second wife Hannah Solart, a daughter of John Solart of Wenham, and late in life took Christian Woodbury, daughter of Humphrey Woodbury, was living in 1695 at Beverly, and had a family as is believed, no doubt by the first wife who were Abigail, born 19 November 1664; John, 7 June 1667; Mary, 14 July 1669; Samuel, 14 August 1671; Rebecca, 23 April 1674; Nicholas, 26 March 1677; Elias, 13 July 1679; Christian was sadly disturbed in mind and killed herself.

OSMOND TRASK, Beverly 1660, when he was 35 years old, may have been brother of the preceding, by first wife Mary, married 1 January 1650, who died 2 January 1663, had Sarah, born September 1650; Edward, 6 June 1652; John, 15 August 1653; Mary, May 1657; William, 5 July 1660, died next month; and probably Sarah, who died young. Next he married 22 May 1663, Elizabeth Gally, daughter of John Gally, had Mary, who married but died young; Samuel; Benjamin; Joseph; Elizabeth, who died young; William; Jonathan; and Edward, probably posthumous. He died early in 1676, his inventory being taken 5 March. His widow married John Giles of Salem.

WILLIAM TRASK, Salem, one of the first settlers before Endicott, perhaps in 1626. He required administration as a freeman 19 October 1630, but was never sworn in (that we can find) yet was Captain in 1632, Representative in 1635, 6, 7, and 9, had commanded in the expedition under Endicott, 1637 against the Pequots. For that service his modest petition of 1612, is printed in Genealogical Registrar VI. 370, and the grant of 400 acres then made was in addition to one of 250, bestowed soon after the war of 1637. Of his children, Sarah was probably eldest; Mary, baptized 1 January 1637; Susanna, 10 June 1638; William 19 September 1640; John, 18 September 1642; Elizabeth, 21 September 1645; Mary, again born 14 August baptized 2 October 1652; Ann, 14 April baptized 18 June 1654; we are ignorant if one mother bore all, but infer that the wife Sarah, perhaps baptized 1 September 1656, named in the will of 15 May 1666, was a second wife and had brought him the last three; and that the first Mary, with Elizabeth and Ann were dead before that. He died at the age of 77 years very soon after the will bears date, probably next day. Of the daughters we know that Sarah married 13 October 1656, the second Elias Parkman; Susanna, married 19 February 1664, Samuel Ebborne, as second wife and Mary married a Batter, probably Daniel.

WILLIAM TRASK, Salem, son of the preceding, married 18 January 1677, Ann Putnam, eldest daughter of Thomas Putnam, had Ann, born 7 June 1668; Elizabeth, March 1670, died young; Sarah, 1 June 1672; William, 7 September 1674; and Susanna, 3 November 1676; and was an innkeeper twenty years after. His wife died 14 November 1676; and he took wife second Ann, who survived him, and had John; Elizabeth; Mary, born March 1683; and George, January 1690. His will of 5 September 1690, was probated 30 June 1691.

DAVID TRAUL, DAVID THRALL, or DAVID TRALL, Windsor, son probably of William Traul of the same, had perhaps a family, and died 7 December 1722, aged 72.

TIMOTHY TRAUL, TIMOTHY THRALL, or TIMOTHY TRALL Windsor, son of William Traul, a freeman 1658, married 10 November 1659, Deborah Gunn, daughter of Thomas Gunn, had Deborah, born 19 August 1660; Timothy, 7 December 1662; Mehitable, March 1664; Elizabeth, 1 May 1667; John, 8 June 1669, died soon, John, again 5 June 1671; Martha, 31 May 1673; and Thomas, 5 May 1675, died soon; Thomas, again, 10 July 1676; Samuel and Abigail, twins 22 February 1682. His wife died 7 January 1694, and he died June 1697.

WILLIAM TRAUL, WILLIAM THRALL, or WILLIAM TRALL Windsor, served in the Pequot war 1637, for which in 1671 he obtained grant of 5 acres, was early a freeman, and so found in the list of 1669, had probably family though his wife is not named, children David; Timothy, born 25 July 1641; and Phillis, I suppose, who married 5 November 1657, John Hosford. His aged widow died 30 July 1676.

NATHANIEL TRAVELL perhaps only a transient resident in Massachusetts, by our General Court 1640, admonished for slander.

DANIEL TRAVERS, or DANIEL TRAVIS, Boston 1652, carpenter, by wife Esther, had Daniel, born 3 October 1652; Ephraim, 13 September 1659; to which Farmer adds Jeremiah, who died 1 November 1656; and Timothy; was a freeman 1673, had long been chief gunner, and from 1 May 1680, was allowed £25, as in our record of the Colony V. 306; died 19 January 1683.

HENRY TRAVERS, or HENRY TRAVIS, Newbury, came in the Mary and John 1634, from London, had Sarah, born 1636, by who is uncertain, but by wife Bridget, had James, 28 April 1645. His widow married 30 March 1659, Richard Window of Gloucester; and Sarah married 30 August 1654, Nicholas Wallington, or Wallingford. A daughter Elizabeth, I suppose, married Anthony Berry, for she is called daughter-in-law of Richard Window, after his death in 1665, when disputes arose about the estate of the widow and children.

JAMES TRAVERS, or JAMES TRAVIS, Gloucester, son of the preceding, married 18 April 1667, Mercy Pierce, daughter of John Pierce, had Elizabeth, born 8 Feb following, removed soon after and was of Brookfield 1672-5.

RICHARD TRAVERS, or RICHARD TRAVIS, Boston, married 22 December 1657, Grace Clements, daughter of Francis Clements of Glastonbury in Somersetshire, says the record.

ROBERT TRAVERS, or ROBERT TRAVIS, is only heard of, as one of four ferrymen between Boston, and Charlestown, freed from impression in Philip's war.

SAMUEL TRAVERS, or SAMUEL TRAVIS, Boston, was a member of Mather's church 1670 or 1.

JOSIAH TREADWAY, JOSIAH TREDWAY, or JOSIAH TREADAWAY, Sudbury, married Sufferance Haynes, daughter of Walter Haynes of the same, had three daughters at least before 1664, as their uncle Thomas Noyes in his will of 20 May in that year gives to the two eldest daughters.

JOSIAH TREADWAY, JOSIAH TREDWAY, or JOSIAH TREADAWAY, Watertown, youngest brother of Jonathan Treadway, a weaver, married 9 January 1674, Sarah Sweetman, daughter of Thomas Sweetman of Cambridge, had Josiah, born 28 February 1675, died under 9 years; James, 17 October 1676; Sarah, 18 December 1679; Bethia, 2 December 1681; Abigail, 24 September 1683; Josiah, again, 16 November 1686; Susanna, 6 January 1689; and Tabitha, 15 December 1690; was freeman 1690.

NATHANIEL TREADWAY, NATHANIEL TREDWAY, or NATHANIEL TREADAWAY, Watertown, probably brother of the first Josiah Treadway, a weaver, first lived at Sudbury, there married Sufferance Howe, daughter of Edward Howe of Watertown, had Jonathan, born 11 November 1640; Mary, 1 August 1642; and James; removed to Watertown, where his father-in-law gave him estate, had Elizabeth, 3 August 1646; Lydia; Josiah; and Deborah, 2 August 1657; was often selectman between 1653 and 72. His wife died 22 July 1682, and he made his will, 25 July 1687, in which all the children are referred to, but as Mary was dead leaving daughter Mary, this child was provided for; and daughter Elizabeth’s children by first husband, and he died 20 July 1689. Mary married first 12 September 1665, John Fisher, probably of Medfield, as his second wife and next 21 July 1675, Timothy Hawkins, as his third wife and died in childbed 17 May 1677; Elizabeth married 21 October 1664, Shadrach Hapgood of Sudbury, and next a Hayward; Lydia married 2 October 1667, Josiah Jones, and died 18 September 1743, aged 94; and Deborah married 25 May 1680, Joseph Goddard.

EDWARD TREADWELL, Ipswich 1637, was of Branford in 1646 and 8, of Southold, Long Island 1659.

JOHN TREADWELL Ipswich, son of Thomas Treadwell the second, by wife Mary, had Elizabeth, born 16 July 1699.

NATHANIEL TREADWELL, Ipswich, son of Thomas Treadwell the first of the same, married 19 June 1661, Abigail Wells, daughter of Thomas Wells of the same, had Abigail, born 2 February 1663; Mary, 22 October 1665; Nathaniel, 1668, died at 4 years; Hannah, 7 February 1670; Thomas, 11 July 1672; Sarah, 15 August 1674; Nathaniel, again, 13 June 1677; and his wife died 3 days after. He married 25 March following; Rebecca Titcomb, daughter of William Titcomb, of Newbury, had Elizabeth, 18 January 1679; and Rebecca, 8 April 1686; was a freeman 1682.

SAMUEL TREADWELL, Fairfield, propounded for a freeman 1670, perhaps son of Edward Treadwell, was quite aged at his death 1718, leaving son Edward, had, also, Samuel, and Ephraim, both dead of which the latter's inventory was given in February 1709.

THOMAS TREADWELL, Ipswich 1636, had come in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, from London, in the autumn of 1635, having engaged his passage 28 July, then called, his age 30, with wife Mary, 30, and son Thomas, 1 year, and first sat down at Dorchester, but at Ipswich had Mary, born 26 or 29 September 1636; Nathaniel, 15 March 1640; Esther, 21 March 1641; and Martha, 16 March 1644; was sworn a freeman 7 September 1638, and died 8 June 1671, leaving widow Mary, and children Thomas, Nathaniel, and Mary. His widow died December 1685. Esther married 8 October 1665, the second Daniel Hovey.

He was a freeman 1682.

THOMAS TREADWELL, Ipswich son of the preceding, shoemaker, by wife Mary, had Mary, born 8 June 1691. Farmer notes that, of this name four had in 1825 been graduates at Harvard and two at Yale.

HENRY TREAT, Marblehead 1673, may be thought only casually visitor, and to be the eldest son of Matthew Treat, who married at Hartford, about 1673, Sarah Andrews, daughter of Edward Andrews, had Sarah, born about 1673; and Matthias, about 1676; and died 1681. His widow married David Forbes, unless it may seem more probable that it was the daughter Sarah, who married Forbes.

JAMES TREAT, Wethersfield, youngest son of Richard Treat the first of the same, yet perhaps born in England, a freeman 1657, married 26 January 1665, Rebecca Latimer, daughter of John Latimer of Wethersfield, had James, born 1 April 1666; Jemima, 15 May 1668; Samuel, 1669; Salmon Treat, 1673, Harvard College 1694; Richard; Jerusha, 1678; Joseph, 1680; Mabel; and Rebecca, 1685; was Representative 1672, 3 and 4, and died 12 February 1709. His widow died 2 April 1734, aged 84. Jemima married 17 December 1691, Stephen Chester junior; Jerusha married 17 May 1705, Captain Thomas Wells, and next, 25 December 1712, Ephraim Goodrich, and died 25 May 1727, though in Chapin, 185, by error of type, died instead of about it would seem that she died in few days after marrying Rebecca, married 27 December 1704, Ebenezer Deming junior.

JAMES TREAT, Wethersfield, son of the preceding, married 17 December 1691, Prudence Chester, daughter of John Chester of the same, had Abigail, born 6 December 1692; Charles, 29 January 1695, died perhaps in few months; Prudence, 13 April 1697; Eunice, 26 Jan 1699; James, 22 September 1701; Oliver, 31 May 1705; and Jerusha, 14 March 1707; his wife died 23 May 1727, and he married Hannah Wright, widow of Daniel Boardman, daughter of Samuel Wright, who outlived him. He died 18 February 1742, and his widow died 25 February 1746.

JOSEPH TREAT, Wethersfield youngest brother of the preceding, married 16 July 1713, Mary Robbins, daughter of Joshua Robbins of Wethersfield, had Mary, born 17 March 1715; Elisha, 3 April 1720; John, 23 August 1733; perhaps others; and died 15 September 1756. His widow died 17 September 1760, in 68th year.

MATTHEW TREAT, or MATTHIAS TREAT, Middletown, the freeman of 1657, may have been brother of James Treat, certainly called servant of Richard of Wethersfield, 1645, or soon after married at Wethersfield 1648, Mary Smith, daughter of the first Richard Smith of the same, had Henry, born 1649; Susanna, 1651; Richard, 1655; Elizabeth, 1657; Abigail, 1659, who married 1683, Stephen Hollister; and Dorcas, 1661; and he died 1662. His widow married Anthony Wright.

RICHARD TREAT, Wethersfield, is one of the very few early settlers whom we can find no trace of in Massachusetts where he may have been a servant or apprentice, yet it is said that he was a Representative in the first General Court 1637, though that is not probable, for in Trumbull's Colony record I find not his name in that relationship, was chosen an Assistant 1658 to 65, but not after the union with New Haven in that year. He was named in the Royal Charter of 23 April 1662, for junction of the two Colonies and removed to Milford, only, I suppose, to establish his son Robert Treat at that settlement, for he is counted on the list of a freeman at Wethersfield 1669. In this year he died, having made his will of 13 February of the same. Names without sufficient particulars of the daughters, his wife Alice, and children, perhaps all born in England: Richard; Robert, born about 1622; James, about 1634; Honor, married about 1637, John Deming the first; Joanna, wife of John Hollister; Sarah, married about 1644, Matthew Campfield; Susanna, married about 1652, Robert Webster of Middletown; and one, Catharine, who married 19 November 1655, William Thompson of New Haven, though by Chapin, Glastonbury, 185, the name is given Johnson, who may have been second husband, besides cousin Samuel Wells; and grandson called cousin Daniel Deming. His widow was not the mother of the children it is supposed because he is said to have brought from England wife Joanna.

RICHARD TREAT, Wethersfield, eldest son of the preceding, born in England, is in the list of a freeman of Wethersfield 1669, as well as his father, but we may judge that each had been so twenty years or more; by wife Sarah Coleman, daughter of Thomas Coleman, had Richard, born 14 February 1663; Sarah, 8 June 1664; Mary, 8 October 1666; and Thomas, 12 December 1668; was one of the three Corporals of the first troop of horse, 1658. His widow died 23 August 1734. Sarah married 20 May 1684, Ephraim Goodrich; and Mary married 10 December 1684, Thomas, Chester, both of Wethersfield.

RICHARD TREAT, Wethersfield, son of James Treat, first of the same, married 23 November 1704, Catharine Bulkley, daughter of Reverend Gershom Bulkley, had only Catharine, born 26 August 1706; and died 7 May 1713.

ROBERT TREAT, Milford, son of the first Richard Treat, born in England, had lived with his father at Wethersfield, and was not, as often said, an early settler at Milford, certainly not before 1647, was an Assistant of the New Haven Colony 1659, which rank of course, was not continued after the union with Connecticut where, though on withdrawal of his father from that office in the older Colony 1665, he was put in nomination but did not gain the honor until 1673, yet had the compliments of being a Captain and Representative under the new administration in Philip's war, was commander-in-chief, and in 1676, when Leete was chosen Governor after death of Winthrop, he was made Deputy Governor, was often a Commissioner of the United Colony of New England, and after death of Leete 1683, succeeded him as Governor. By the royal constitution of Sir Edmund Andros, to be head of all the Northern provinces, Treat was named one of his councellors, and though he did not resist, but acquiesced, he was hailed Governor on the overthrow. In that place he served 15 years retiring from old age, and died 12 July 1710, aged 88. Lambert marks his death 1712. He had two wives Jane Tapp, only daughter of Edmund Tapp, who died 8 April 1703; and he married 22 October 1705, a widow Elizabeth Bryan, who died 10 January 1706. It is said he had 21 children (and very glad should I be to prove above half of the tradition number) but ten only have been heard of by me; viz. Samuel Treat, baptized 3 September 1648, Harvard College 1669; John, 20 October 1650; Mary, 23 May, not 28 (as my correspondant writes), 1652, because this was Friday, and children in our country, without exception in that age, were baptized on Sunday only; Robert, born 14 August 1654; Sarah, 9 October 1656; Hannah, 1 January 1660, who married Reverend Samuel Mather of Windsor; Joseph, about 1662; Abigail, who married Reverend Samuel Andrew of Milford; besides Jane, and Ann, who died before their father. If any respect for tradition would solicit explanation of its given twenty-one children to the Governor it may be guessed to have sprung from the fact, that his children added to the ten of the first wife of son Samuel made up the desired number. Being above 83 years old, when he took his second wife, none by her was expected. Very observation is it that in Goodwin's Genealogy Notes, 229, after the heading, "Descendants in the line of Robert," not one is given which must be regarded as a misfortune attending Goodwin's before one eighth of the volume was printed, for he was not the man to be frightened by such a mythical host. On page 328 the list that was intended to be inserted and may perhaps now seem imperfect, is found, and some error is seen, if the Milford record be correct. The Governor in his will of 5 January 1708, names only these seven children Samuel, John, Mary, Robert, Hannah, Joseph, and Abigail. No doubt the other three were dead and probably the date of Abigail's birth in Goodwin is wrong.

SALMON TREAT, Preston, son of the first James Treat, ordained the first minister at that place, 16 November 1698, had married 28 April preceding, Dorothy Noyes, daughter of Reverend James Noyes of Stonington; had Ann, born 26 August 1699; James, 29 November 1700; Dorothy, 9 February 1702; Jerusha, 21 November 1704; Prudence, 23 November 1706; Sarah, 19 September 1708; and Rebecca, 29 June 1710; resigned his charge, March 1744, and died 1746. This name in Mather's Hecatompolis is printed Tread.

SAMUEL TREAT, Eastham, eldest son of Governor Robert Treat, ordained 1672, married 16 March 1674, Elizabeth Mayo, daughter of Samuel Mayo, had Jane, born 6 December 1674; Elizabeth, 24 July 1676; Sarah, 20 June 1678; Samuel, July 1680; Mary, 16 March 1682; Robert, 24 February 1684; Abigail, 13 June 1686; Joseph, 19 November 1690; Joshua, 17 March 1692; John, 17 May 1693; and Nathaniel, 15 April 1694; and his wife died 4 December 1696. He married 29 August 1700, Abigail Willard, widow of Reverend Benjamin Eastbrook, daughter of Reverend Samuel Willard of Boston, who died 27 December 1746, had Eunice, 27 September 1704; and Robert, 21 January 1707; and died 18 March 1717, aged 69.

THOMAS TREAT, Glastenbury, son of the second Richard Treat, who gave him all his lands on the east side of the great river, married 5 July 1693, Dorothy Bulkley, daughter of Reverend Gershom Bulkley, had Richard, born 14 May 1694; Charles, 28 February 1696; Thomas, 3 May 1699; Isaac, 15 August 1701; Dorotheus and Dorothy, twins 25, but in another place of his book, Chapin writes it 28, probably wrong, August 1704; Sarah, 21 January in another place, July 1707; and Mary, 9 January 1710. He was a Lieutenant and engaged in promoting separation from Wethersfield of the new town. He died 17 February 1713; and his widow died 1757. In 1837 the graduates at Yale counted eight, at Harvard four.

JOHN TREBY, JOHN TREBIE, or JOHN TRIBBY, Marblehead 1668-74, had wife Mary, who took administration of his estate November 1675.

PETER TREBY, PETER TREBIE, or PETER TRIBBY, New London, 1667, of who Caulkins tells no more.

GEORGE TREFREY, GEORGE TREFREY, GEORGE TURFREY or GEORGE TURFREE, York, must have been a high patriot, for he was chosen Representative 1692.

JOHN TREFREY, JOHN TREFREY, JOHN TURFREY, or JOHN TURFREE, Boston, was associated somehow with the unpopularity of Governor Andros, for he was seized by the people who imprisoned Sir Edmund 1689.

THOMAS TREFREY, THOMAS TREFREY, THOMAS TURFREY or THOMAS TURFREE, Marblehead 1674. This name, I think, in Genealogical Registrar VIII. 288, belongs to the same man mentioned in Genealogical Registrar VII. 70 then spelled Tenenys, but probably not copy of his own writing as it is signed with a cross +. Both documents are verified by the same clerk the same year.

JOHN TRELAWNEY, Kittery 1645, probably son of Robert Trelawney of Cornwall, England, proprietor of Richmond's Island, is named in Sullivan, 309, as cited in Farmer MS.

THOMAS TRENTHAM, or THOMAS TRENTUM, a youth of 14, embarked at London, July 1635, in the Blessing.

JOHN TRESCOTT, Dorchester, son of William Trescott of the same, a freeman 1683, was a carpenter, died 22 January 1741; and his wife Rebecca died 1 August following, aged 88. The newspaper of that year mentioned that the husband and wife lived together near sixty-six and a half years. No offspring is told of. Of the tendency to exaggerate age, his gravestone is an example, making him in 91st year when he was nine months short of 90.

SAMUEL TRESCOTT, Dorchester, eldest child of William Trescott, had Dyer; Samuel, born 27 April 1675; Jeremiah, 6 October 1676; Abiah, or Ebenezer, 31 October 1678; Thankful, 22 February 1680, probably died soon; Elizabeth, 19 January baptized 27 August 1682; as were, at the same time, her brothers Dyer, Samuel, Jeremiah, and Ebenezer; and Sarah, born 5 March 1684. On 7 August 1687 he was dismissed to the church at Milton, and died 30 July 1730.

THOMAS TRESCOTT, Dorchester, mariner, died early in 1654, leaving wife Ann, who died 10 May of that year.

His wife died 30 July 1699, aged 74; and he died 11 September following aged near 85. His will of 9 August that year names only two daughters Martha Adams, and Sarah Mosely or Maudesly, but when she was born or who was her husband is altogether unknown; three children Mercy, Mary, and Martha Hewins, daughters of Jacob, who had taken for his second wife 24 October 1680, or 24 February 1681, the daughter Martha, Mary, married 6 October 1665, John Hemenway; Abigail, married 21 November 1682, Ammiel Weeks, and their children Ammiel and George are remembered in the will of grandfather.

NICHOLAS TRESLER, or NICHOLAS TRUSLER, Salem, son of Thomas Tresler, had wife and two children, as by the will of his mother appears; but names are unknown.

THOMAS TRESLER, or THOMAS TRUSLER, Salem, was administered of the church 15 December 1639, a freeman 27 December 1642, died 5 March 1654. His wife was Elinor, and he had a daughter who married Henry Phelps, for John Phelps, grandson of Elinor Tresler, is named in the Probate Court connected with Phelps estate. He was clerk in 1650 of the market. From the will of his widow Elinor 15 February 1655, abstract in Essex Institute I. 48 we learn that she had sons Henry, Nicholas, and Edward, two daughters, and grandchildren John Phelps and Elizabeth Samuel, and Edward, children of Nicholas; and that her late husband had a daughter in England.

TRESWELL, HENRY, Salisbury, by wife Martha, had Sarah, born 26 July 1686.

THOMAS TREVETT, THOMAS TREVY, or THOMAS TRIVITT, Marblehead 1674, may have been son of the preceding.

WILLIAM TREVORE, or WILLIAM TREVOUR, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 1620, not as a permanent settler but a hired mariner, not for the ship, but for the service of the Company after her return to England and for a single year. He went home next year in the Fortune; and may have been a navigator in command of a ship to our shore in 1632. He was here in April 1650 [see Genealogical Registrar IX. 248], and gave deposition as to the taking possession by himself for David Thompson of London, Thompson's Island. Mistook the year 1619 for 1620.

JAMES TREWORGYE, JAMES TRUEWORGIE, or JAMES TREWORTHY Kittery 1636, merchant from Cornwall, married Catharine Shapleigh, daughter of Alexander Shapleigh, sister of Nicholas Shapleigh, who survived him, before coming from England, had daughter Joanna, who married John Ameridith, Meridith, or Merryday of Kittery; Elizabeth, who married John Gilman of Exeter; and Lucy, who married Young Humphrey Chadbourne, and, next, Thomas Wells. of Kitter, from who part of Kittery got its name Wells. He went to Newfoundland, perhaps for trade only, but died before he was 35 years old. His widow married Edward Hilton.

JOHN TREWORGYE, JOHN TRUEWORGIE, or JOHN TREWORTHY and NICHOLAS TREWORGYE, NICHOLAS TRUEWORGIE, or NICHOLAS TREWORTHY are mentioned slightly, in New England before 1649, and probably were brothers of the preceding, Nicholas is not named again; but John had married at Newbury, 15 January 1646, a Spencer, perhaps daughter of Thomas Spencer of Piscataqua, had John, born 12 August 1649; and Coffin says, he removed to Saco. Yet a writer of so great diligence as Mr. Thornton, in Genealogical Registrar V. 349, doubts the existence of any John.

SAMUEL TREWORGYE, SAMUEL TRUEWORGIE, or SAMUEL TREWORTHY, Boston, by wife Mary, had Samuel, and died 1698.

ANANIAS TRIANS, Saybrook, married 6 August 1667, Abigail Norton, daughter of Thomas Norton.

ELIAS TRICK, Pemaquid, or Damerill's Cove, at a court held by Massachusetts Commissioners July 1674, took oath of allegiance and with others was swown on the grand jury.

EPHRAIM TRICKEY, or EPHRAIM TRICKETT, Dover perhaps son of Thomas Trickey of the same, had Joseph, who obtained a lot of land 1701.

FRANCIS TRICKEY, or FRANCIS TRICKETT, by Farmer in MS marked of Portsmouth 1655, means, I think, Thomas Trickey.

ISAAC TRICKEY, or ISAAC TRICKETT, Dover 1670, was perhaps son of Thomas Trickey.

JOSEPH TRICKEY, or JOSEPH TRICKETT, Dover, son of Thomas Trickey, had wife Rebecca, to who as his brothers widow Zechary, gave some land 2 February 1709.

THOMAS TRICKEY, or THOMAS TRICKETT, Dover 1648, by Farmer in MS called of Exeter 1644, died 1674; leaving sons Zechary and Joseph, perhaps, also Isaac and Ephraim.

ZECHARY TRICKEY, or ZECHARY TRICKETT, Dover, son of Thomas Trickey, was called senior 1709, so that he may have had son Zechary. This name is frequent in that neighborhood.

THOMAS TRILL, Hartford 1664, then a servant, a soldier in Connecticut forces, 1675, of who I know only that he was fined for unreasonable firing of his gun, had wife Ann, probably son Thomas, and died 1700.

THOMAS TRINER, Marblehead 1674; but I doubt the spelling May mean Tainer, who see.

ABIEL TRIPP, Portsmouth, Rhode Island perhaps son of John Tripp of the same, married 30 January 1679, Deliverance Hall, perhaps daughter of William Hall of the same, had Abiel, born 22 June 1684; and the father died 10 September following.

JOHN TRIPP, Portsmouth, 1638, and on the list of a freeman there 1655, had wife Mary, to whom in his will of 1650, Anthony Paine had given a legacy, for which her husband gave discharge to testator's relict by name of Rose Weeden, and for second wife he married 7 September 1665, Susann Anthony, daughter of John Anthony the first of the same, had Susanna, born 1 October 1667; Mary, 9 December 1670; John, 9 July 1673; Othaniel, 5 June 1676; Benjamin, 21 February 1678; and Lot, 26 December 1684; was Representative 1656 and 1672, Alice married 26 January 1671, Willaim Hall. Isbell married 4 March 1675, Samson Shearman; Martha married 3 February 1681, Samuel Shearman; and Susanna married 20 January 1687, Thomas Potter.

JOSEPH TRIPP, Dartmouth, perhaps son of the preceding, was Representative 1685.

BENJAMIN TRISTRAM, or BENJAMIN TRUSTRUM, Saco, son of Ralph Tristram, was dead in April 1679, when Francis Hooke took administration.

RALPH TRISTRAM, or RALPH TRUSTRUM, Saco 1647, administered freeman of Massachusetts 1655, had been constable 1653, appointed by our authority, was much respected and died 1678. Dominicus Jordan, his son-in-law, had administration on the father and son Nathaniel, both in April 1679. His children born between 1644 and 64 were Samuel, Nathaniel, Benjamin, Richard, Rachel, Ruth, Freegrace, Hannah, who married Dominicus Jordan, and David. But Folsom, 180, was not so happy as to be able to give particulars.

TROOP TRISTRAM, or TROOP TRUSTRUM, Barnstable, married 14 May 1666, Mary Chapman, daughter of Ralph Chapman, had Mary born 6. April 1667; and probably others, certainly Thomas, baptized 6 September 1683.

BENJAMIN TROTT, Nantucket, son of John Trott, married 15 January 1730, Elizabeth Norton, daughter of Jacob Norton, had Mary, born 1730; Benjamin, died soon; Rachel; John; Ann; Priscilla; and Dinah; and died 8 September 1776. His widow died 17 June 1780.

JAMES TROTT, Dorchester, son of the first Thomas Trott, died 27 September 1719, by the inscription on the gravestone.

JOHN TROTT, Nantucket, by the record had by wife Ann, Tabitha, born 2 March 1679; Joseph, 10 March but in another place said to be April 1681; Rachel, 23 August 1683; but in another place it is said John, probably twins was born 28 of that same month; Benjamin, 8 November 1685; James, 20 January 1688; Mary, 31 October 1690; Abigail, 8 June 1693; and Priscilla, 11 March 1697, i.e. probably 1698; besides Elizabeth; and he died 26 April 1728. His will of 5 January 1723, probated 17 July 1728, mentioned all the six daughters, fours son, but expressed uncertain whether James and Joseph be living. Tabitha married John Frost, and next Joseph Brown; Rachel married Thomas Gorham; Abigail married March 1720, George Brown, as his second wife; and Priscilla died unmarried 30 December 1770.

JOHN TROTT, Dorchester, son of Thomas Trott of the same, lived at Milton, married 20 December 1703, Deliverence, widow of Joseph Withington.

MATTHIAS TROTT, defrauded in a suit 1646, but in my opinion is just as likely to mean Treat.

RICHARD TROTT, Wethersfield 1642, and thenceforward this surname occurs so often, especially on the grand jury 1643, and as Representative every single year from 1644 to 1658, but without the baptismal prefix, in Trumbull's Colony record perhaps in 50 or 60 places, when Richard Treat is found so seldom, that I doubt not this may be frequently substituted.

SAMUEL TROTT, Dorchester, son of the first Thomas Trott, died 3 August 1724.

THOMAS TROTT, Dorchester, a freeman 1664, had Thomas; Preserved; Sarah, born 10 or 16 January 1654; Mary, 26 January 1657; Samuel, 27 August 1660; John, 24 November baptized 4 December 1664; Thankful, 5 December 1667; James, 2 June 1671; all probably by wife Sarah, who died 27 May 1712; and he died 28 August 1696, aged about 82 years.

HENRY TROW, Ipswich, or more probably Salisbury, a freeman 1676. I think this name may have became True, and was, perhaps at first, Trew.

CALEB TROWBRIDGE, New Haven, son of the second Thomas Trowbridge, had wife Mary, but no children died 1704.

CALEB TROWBRIDGE, Groton, youngest son of James Trowbridge the first, ordained March 1715, soon after married Sarah Oliver, daughter of Honorable Thomas Oliver, had Oliver, born 16 May 1716, who died young.

JAMES TROWBRIDGE, Dorchester, son probably youngest of Thomas Trowbridge, perhaps brought by his father from England where he may have been born 1636, but baptized 1638 at Dorchester, and soon carried to New Haven, there left with brothers Thomas and William, when his father went home to Taunton, County Somerset. From New Haven he removed to Dorchester and married 30 December 1659, Margaret Atherton, daughter of Humphery Atherton, had Elizabeth, born 12 October 1660; Mindwell, 20 June 1662; John, 22 May 1664; removed to Cambridge, and had Margaret, 30 April 1666; Thankful, 6 March 1668; Mary, 11 June 1670; and Hannah, 15 June 1672. His wife died two days after, and he married 30 January 1662; Margaret Jackson, daughter of Deacon John Jackson, had Experience, 1 November 1675; Thomas, 9 December 1677; Deliverance, 31 December 1679; James, 20 September 1682; William, 19 November 1684, Abigail, 11 April 1687; and Caleb Trowbridge, 7 November 1692, Harvard College 1710; was a freeman 1665; selectman, clerk of the writs, Lieutenant, Deacon and Representative 1700 and 3.

SAMUEL TROWBRIDGE, New Haven, fourth son of William Trowbridge the first, by wife Sarah, had Samuel, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Sarah.

THOMAS TROWBRIDGE, New Haven 1640, had, says tradition, first sat down at Dorchester, coming from Taunton, in County Somerset, about 1637, but was prosecuted voyages to and from Barbadoes. I think he was of Combe St. Nicholas, only about 10 or 12 miles south east from Taunton, near the bordiers of Devon. More reasonable importance is another part of the tradition that he brought three sons: Thomas, assumed to have been born 1632; William, about 1634; and James, before mentioned, whether he was ever residing in Dorchester is uncertain but about 1644, he went home, leaving his boys to the care of Sergeant Thomas Jeffreys, and his property to be managed by Henry Gibbons, from which after 20 years It was not easy to obtain account. He never came back, and died at or near, Taunton 7 February 1672.

THOMAS TROWBRIDGE, New Haven, eldest son of the preceding, born in England, was propounded for a freeman 1668, and is found in the list next year made commissary for the expedition 1673 against the Dutch, and much esteemed in 1675 and 6; married 24 June 1657, Sarah, widow of Henry Rutherford; had Sarah, born 7 November 1658, died at 17 years; John, 23 November 1661; Thomas, 14 February 1664; Lydia, 7 June, 1666; Caleb, 28 October 1670; Daniel, 5 January 1673; Elizabeth, 30 June 1676; and Sarah, 24 September 1680, died at 10 years.

THOMAS TROWBRIDGE, New Haven, son of Thomas Trowbridge the second, married 16 October 1685, Mary Winston, daughter of John Winston, had Sarah, born 26 November 1686; Stephen, 7 September 1688; Mary, 9 April 1691; Elizabeth, 29 March 1693; Thomas 20 December 1695; Joseph, 1 April 1699; and Daniel, 25 October 1703; and died 15 September 1711. His widow died 15 September 1742.

THOMAS TROWBRIDGE, Newton, son of James Trowbridge the first, had John by a first wife as only child, and he next married 3 March 1709, Mary Goffe of Cambridge, perhaps daughter of Samuel Goffe, had Edmund Trowbridge, born 1709, Harvard College 1728, the learned Judge; Lydia, 1710; and Mary, 1712; and he took third wife Susanna, 7 January 1715, removed to New London, there died 1724. Lydia married 31 January 1737, Richard Dana, father of the late Francis Dana, Harvard College 1762, Chief Justice of Massachusetts, so that his son and grandson were in two generations, one in the last preceding, the war of Independence, and the other at the beginning of the nineteenth century, our luminaries of the common law.

WILLIAM TROWBRIDGE, New Haven, son of Thomas Trowbridge the first, born in England, married 9 March 1657, Elizabeth Lamberton, widow of Daniel Selivant, daughter of Captain George Lamberton, had William, born 12 November following; Thomas, 2 October 1659; Elizabeth, 5 January 1662; James, 26 March 1664; Margaret, 1 June 1666; Hannah, 6 July 1663; Abigail and Samuel, twins 7 October 1670; Mary, 12 October 1672; and Joseph, 1676; was propounded for a freeman 1669, and died November 1690. The ten children were living in 1691. Elizabeth married 28 May 1678, Peter Mallory; Margaret married a Goodwin; and Hannah married a Jackson.

WILLIAM TROWBRIDGE, New Haven, eldest son of the preceding, married Thankful Stow, daughter of Reverend Samuel Stow of Middletown, had Thankful, born 25 September 1687; Experience, 25 May 1690; and Abigail, 4 November 1693, died soon.

WILLIAM TROWBRIDGE, Newton, son of James Trowbridge the first, married 14 December 1708, Sarah Ward, daughter of John Ward, had Mary, born 18 September 1709; William, 2 February 1711, died soon; Huldah, 13 February 1712, died soon; William, again, 13 October 1713, died soon; Huldah, 23 March 1615, died soon; James, 21 April 1717; twins daughters 1720 died before birth, probably with their mother. By second wife married 30 May 1721, Sarah Fullam, daughter of Francis Fullam, he had Sarah, 9 March 1722; Margaret, 16 April 1724; Bethia, 29 August 1726; Thaddeus, 28 November 1628; Abigail, 12 October 1732, died young; was selectman, Lieutenant, and died 19 November 1744. Farmer, MS notes that in 1834, two of this name had been graduates at Harvard, two at Yale; but very curious is the fact that records of town and church at Haddam where one branch of the surname spread, both give it Strawbridge.

JOSEPH TRUANT, or JOSEPH TROUANT, perhaps son of Maurice Truant, Marshfield, married 6 January 1675, was drowned on entering Plymouth harbor, about 23 February 1684.

MAURICE TRUANT, or MAURICE TROUANT, Duxbury 1643, had possibly first been at Watertown, and in 1631, was fined for stealing pig's meat of Ralph Glover; perhaps only a youthful peccadillo; in few years removed to Marshfield, there had family of who I think, were Joseph; perhaps Hannah, who married 11 January 1682, Jonathan Eames; and also Mehitable, who married 3 September 1691, John Daggett; and he died 21 April 1685.

HENRY TRUE, Salem 1644, had John, baptized 13 July 1645; Mary, 14 March 1647; Lydia, 4 February 1649; Joseph, 8 February 1652; Benjamin, 19 February 1654; Jemima, 26. April 1657. His wife was Israel Pike, daughter of John Pike, unless the books have mistaken her name; and he removed probably to Salisbury; was a freeman of 1676, spelled Trew, and read Trow.

HENRY TRUE, Salisbury, son of the preceding, married 15, or 16 by another record March 1668, Jane Bradbury, daughter of Thomas Bradbury, had Mary, born 30 May 1668, if the Genealogical Registrar VIII. 233, be correct, which is not probable; William, June 1670; Henry, 6 January 1674; Jane, 5 December 1676; John, 23 February 1679; Jemima, 16 March 1681; and Jabez, 19 February 1683. He was Representative 1689.

JOSEPH TRUE, Salisbury, brother of the preceding, married 20 April 1675, Ruth Whittier, perhaps daughter of Thomas Whittier, had Joseph, born 9 January 1676, probably died young; John, 18 August 1677 died in 4 months; Joseph, again, 4 March 1679; Ruth, 5 October 1683; Israel, whether male or female I know not, 14 December 1687; and Benjamin, 5 March 1691. He took oath of allegiance 15 December 1677, and was a freeman 1690.

RICHARD TRUESDALE, RICHARD TRUSDELL, RICHARD TREWSDALE, RICHARD TREUSDALE or RICHARD TRUESDALL, Boston, called on joining the church 27 July 1634, servant to our teacher John Cotton, a freeman 4 March following, served in 1639 on the coroner's inquiry on dead body of Peter Fitchew, wilfully drowned, and next year on the more important jury for trial of Hugh Bewett for heresy. He had no children probably but his wife is, I suppose, meant in two letters of our first Governor Winthrop to his son John, November 1646, mention that his son Wait was with sister Truesdale. That phrase led Farmer to write of Richard Truesdale "perhaps brother-in-law of Governor Winthrop." By similar misunderstanding of the word sister, the descendants of Samuel Symonds; supposed they were of the same blood of John Winthrop of Connecticut whose only sister that passed infancy was first wife of Samuel Dudley, not Symonds. He was a butcher, and Deacon of the First Church, but revolted at the disingenious management by which Davenport was brought from New Haven, to be the minister and became one of the founders of the third or Old South Church in 1669, and died 1671 leaving widow Mary.

SAMUEL TRUESDALE, SAMUEL TRUSDELL, SAMUEL TREWSDALE, SAMUEL TREUSDALE or SAMUEL TRUESDALL, Cambridge, nephew of the preceding, from which by his will he recorded £50, married 1671, Mary Jackson, daughter of John Jackson, first of the same, had Richard, born 16 July 1672; Mary, 3 November 1673; Samuel, 13 October 1675; Mindwell, 31 August 1676; Rebecca, 25 March 1678; Experience; Thomas, 27 April 1682; and Ebenezer, 1685. He was a freeman 1685, lived on south side of the river in what was called Cambridge village now Newton, for separation of which he was active; had second wife Elizabeth Hammond, widow of George Woodward, daughter of Thomas Hammond of Watertown; and a third wife Mary is named in his will. He died says Jackson, 2 March 1695, in 49th year which makes me concur with the diligent and judicious author of the history of Newton in, supposed though ignorant of the name of his father that he was born in our country. Under this name, Farmer had included John and John junior of Kittery 1652; but I follow the record in spelling them Twisdale.

JOHN TRULL, Billerica, married 11 December 1657, Sarah French, daughter of William French, had John, born 13 January 1659; died in few days; Sarah 27 May 1660; was a freeman 1690, then called senior so that perhaps he had John, again, and other children. He died 15 June 1704, aged 70.

SAMUEL TRULL, Billerica, perhaps brother of the preceding, is on the tax list of 1679, when the name of John is not seen.

JOSEPH TRUMAN, New London 1666, constable 1667, died in 1697, made his will in September 1696, mentioned children Joseph, Thomas, Elizabeth, Mary, and Ann, all perhaps born before he went thiter.

JOSEPH TRUMAN, New London, son of the preceding, married 5 December 1701, Mary Shapley, daughter of Benjamin Shapley.

DANIEL TRUMBULL, DANIEL TRUMBALL, DANIEL TRUMBOLL, DANIEL TRUMBLE, DANIEL TRUMBELL, or DANIEL TRUMMELL, Lynn, 1647, as Lewis marks, but adds not a word more.

JOHN TRUMBULL, JOHN TRUMBALL, JOHN TRUMBOLL, JOHN TRUMBLE, JOHN TRUMBELL, or JOHN TRUMMELL, Cambridge 1636, said to have come from New Castle on Tyne, was fined £20 at the court, March 1637, but for some cause so slight that it might have found lighter censure, as in June following three quarters of the penalty were taken off, and, at the general show of similar favor in 1638, £4 more were remitted. Perhaps he is the second, a freeman of this name 13 May 1640, but in record gives Trumball. By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, 6 June 1638; John, 4 August 1641; Hannah, 10 December 1642; removed to Charlestown, there had Mary, 3, but another record says 9 February 1645; besides that on Cambridge record comes, also, James, 7 December 1647. He was Captain of a trading vessel, and may have been the man in the Colony record of Connecticut I. 162, willing to accept Matthew Griswold's oath to his demand in 1648, and probably the one meant by Davenport in Epist. to Governor Winthrop 1655, as bringing him letters from England. See 3 Massachusetts history Collection X. 7. He was a shopkeeper in Charlestown 1673, a householder in 1678, and died leaving widow Elizabeth early in July 1687, in his 80th year. The inventory being taken on 6 of that month and returned by his son John 19 August following. The widow died 15 August 1696 in 86th year. His daughter Hannah married 2 March 1659 John Baxter.

JOHN TRUMBULL, JOHN TRUMBALL, JOHN TRUMBOLL, JOHN TRUMBLE, JOHN TRUMBELL, or JOHN TRUMMELL, Roxbury, when in church records the spelling is Trumell, who caused a very experienced reader of early writing to make it Trumtell, a freeman 13 May 1640, is no more heard of at Roxbury and, I think, was very soon at Rowley, there by wife Ellen, had Hannah, born 14 February 1641; Judah, 3 June 1643; Ruth, 23 April 1645; Joseph, 19 May 1647; married Ann Swan, perhaps daughter of the first Richard Swan, had Abigail, 10 December 1651, and died 1657, buried 18 July. His inventory was by wife Ann brought 29 September, and he left John, Joseph, Judah, and perhaps more. The son John Trumbull is made the progenitor of the great Connecticut family and the common error found support in the Appendix to the Centen. Addr. by Bradford. The older son stuck by the paternal mansion.

JOHN TRUMBULL, JOHN TRUMBALL, JOHN TRUMBOLL, JOHN TRUMBLE, JOHN TRUMBELL, or JOHN TRUMMELL, Rowley, son probably of the second, a freeman 1665, married probably a daughter of William Jackson of Rowley, and made Deacon 24 December 1686, was appointed Ensign there by the General Court 1685.

JOHN TRUMBULL, JOHN TRUMBALL, JOHN TRUMBOLL, JOHN TRUMBLE, JOHN TRUMBELL, or JOHN TRUMMELL, Charlestown, son of the first John Trumbull, married 26 September Mary Jones, daughter of Edward Jones, had Samuel, who was baptized 25 July 1697 about 14 years old. He served in Mosely's Company December 1675.

JOSEPH TRUMBULL, JOSEPH TRUMBALL, JOSEPH TRUMBOLL, JOSEPH TRUMBLE, JOSEPH TRUMBELL, or JOSEPH TRUMMELL, Suffield 1677, son probably of the first John Trumbull of Rowley, a freeman 1681, as early as July 1675, lived in Suffield, from where the Indians hostility soon drove him, there had Joseph, born 16 January 1679; Ammi, 1 August 1681; Benoni, 10 August 1684; besides some of the removed to Suffield of which probably Hannah, who married 26 November 1686, daughter of John Strong, the third, was one, as also John. His son Joseph married Hannah Higley, daughter of John Higley of Simsbury; removed to Lebanon, and was father of the first Governor Jonathan Trumbull, born 1710, Harvard College 1727, a distinguished patriot.

JUDAH TRUMBULL, JUDAH TRUMBALL, JUDAH TRUMBOLL, JUDAH TRUMBLE, JUDAH TRUMBELL, or JUDAH TRUMMELL, Rowley, perhaps son of the first John Trumbull of the same, removed to Suffield about 1676, had a wife Mary, and children John, born 5 March 1674; Ebenezer, 1 August 1675, died soon; Joseph, 3 January 1677; Judah, 2 January 1679; Mary, 20 March 1681; William, 9 July 1683; Samuel, 1 June 1643; and Ephraim, 6 July 1688; and died April 1692. His widow Mary 22 December 1692, became third wife of Vicary Sikes.

RALPH TRUMBULL, RALPH TRUMBALL, RALPH TRUMBOLL, RALPH TRUMBLE, RALPH TRUMBELL, or RALPH TRUMMELL, Marshfield 1643, may possibly be a miswritten surname, Trumle. Of this name, ten have been graduates at Yale, and five at Harvard.

MICHAEL TRY, or MICHAEL TRAY, Windsor, a freeman 1640, freed in 1660 from watch and ward, had several years before removed to Fairfield, had only child Sarah, who married John Gruman. To her and her children he gave most of his estate which was very considerable, when he died 1676 or 7. He had about 20 years earlier married for second wife Margaret, widow of Richard Roots of Fairfield.

SAMUEL TUBBS, New London about 1663, married Mary Willey, daughter of Isaac Willey, but Miss Caulkins in letter of July 1860 tells me, that he had Mary and Bethia, baptized on same day in May 1671; Samuel, July 1672; William, May 1674 (and I regret that the days of the several months are uncertain); Dorcas, born 2 March 1689; Joseph, 3 September 1692; perhaps other children; and died 1696. His widow was living 1725, then aged 77.

WILLIAM TUBBS, Plymouth and Duxbury, married 9 November 1637, Mercy Sprague, daughter of Francis Sprague, and was one of the proprietors of Bridgewater.

EDWARD TUCKE, or EDWARD TEWK, Hampton, son of Robert Tucke, perhaps born in England, had John, if the account of Congregational minister in Rockingham County by Reverend William Cogswell, Genealogical Registrar I. 247, be correct (which disagrees with Farmer MS), died about 1653.

JOHN TUCKE, or JOHN TEWK, Hampton, son of Robert Tucke, says Farmer, by wife Bethia, had John, born 19 April 1687, probably died young; Jonathan, August 1697; John Tucke, again, 23 August 1702, Harvard College 1723, minister at Isle of Shoals, who died 12 August 1773, leaving John Tucke, Harvard College 1758. He was Representative 1717, and died 4 January 1742.

ROBERT TUCKE, or ROBERT TEWK, Watertown, came probably in 1636, from Gorleston, County Suffolk, two miles south of Yarmouth, was a freeman 7 September 1639, but then was of Hampton, perhaps, where was his permanent resident in latter days, though he may have been entitled a tailor of Salem at one time, was fined for selling beer, soon after had license for the first inn at Hampton 1643, and died 4 October 1664, leaving widow Joanna, who died 14 February 1673, by who perhaps, he had Mary, who married Lieutenant John Sanborn, and died 30 December 1668; Edward, before mentioned; Robert; William, born about 1646; and John, 1652. Robert and William preferred to live in England.

THOMAS TUCKE, or THOMAS TEWK, Salem 1637, was then about 25 years old, if his memorandum thirty years later be true.

THOMAS TUCKE, or THOMAS TEWK Charlestown, by wife Elizabeth Nichols, daughter of Lieutenant Randall Nichols, had Mary, baptized 29 January 1671; Catharine, 23 July 1676, died soon; Catharine, again, 18 November 1677; and Mary, 7 October 1683; and he died 12 September 1687.

WILLIAM TUCKE, or WILLIAM TEWK, Milford, a proprietor before 1675, removed a few years after.

ABRAHAM TUCKER, and JOHN TUCKER, early proprietors of Dartmouth, may have been often of Sandwich.

ANDREW TUCKER, Marblehead 1663, was perhaps son of Nicholas Tucker, and may be the man whose name in the petition of Marblehead 1668, is given Stocker in Genealogical Registrar IX. 82.

BENJAMIN TUCKER, Roxbury, son of Robert Tucker, had Benjamin, born 8 March 1671; Jonathan, 14 May 1675; Ephraim, 16 August 1677, Ebenezer, 10 October 1679; Mary, 7 August 1682; Edward, 8 August 1684; and by wife Amy, says the record though she may have been mother of all the preceding. Had Joseph, 2 November 1686; and by wife Ann, who I think the same, as the record is very careless, had Elizabeth, 20 December 1683. He died 27 February 1714, aged about 60, as the gravestone tells.

BENONI TUCKER, Salisbury, eldest son of Maurice Tucker, married June 1686, Ebenezer Nichols, daughter of Thomas Nichols, strange as the record reads, had Ebenezer, born 31 March 1687; Benjamin, 12 January 1690; Nathaniel, 12 November 1692; Elizabeth, 24 Mar 1695; and Mary, 4 May 1697.

EPHRIAM TUCKER, Milton, son probably of Robert Tucker of the same, was a freeman 1678 and perhaps had wife and children.

HENRY TUCKER, Sandwich, by wife Martha, had as the Friend's record at Newport tells, Abraham, born 30 October 1653; John, 18 August 1656; Martha, 14 July 1659; Hannah, born 25 July 1662; James, 16 March 1666; Mary, 16 August 1668; Sarah, 20 September 1674. Mary married 9 May 1690, Samuel Perry of Kingstown. But the Perry Genealogy calls Tucker of Dartmouth; and certainly Abraham and John, probably his sons were proprietors of Dartmouth.

JAMES TUCKER, Milton, perhaps brother of Ephraim Tucker, married Rebecca Tolman, daughter of Thomas Tolman, had, in 1678 a suit with the town of Dorchester, who gathered from him and others taxes, who the General Court required the town to repay. Probably he had James, and perhaps others.

JAMES TUCKER, of some part of New Hampshire, perhaps Portsmouth or Dover, in each were families of the name, in 1689, when he joined other friends of liberty, in addressing the government of Massachusetts to protect them.

JOHN TUCKER, Watertown, 1636, a proprietor, perhaps the same man was next year at Hingham, proprietor in each town, married June 1649 widow Norton, it may be as his second wife, and died 5 August 1661, making nuncupative will in favor of John, and Mary, his children with injunction to deal righteously by the mother, meaning, I suppose, the stepmother, Ann, his widow. His daughter Mary (by the former wife) to whom Thomas Johnson and his wife Margaret gave all their property, had before 30 October 1662, married Joseph Church.

JOHN TUCKER, Boston, by wife Sarah, had Elizabeth, born 5 February 1652; John, 8 October 1655.

JOHN TUCKER, Isle of Shoals, fisherman, by his will of 31 October 1670, gave small sum to his minister Thomas Wells of Kittery, and bestowed the rest on John Amerideth and Joanna his wife, and as the inventory of April following was of so considerable amount as £74, we may infer that he had no wife nor children.

JOHN TUCKER, Portsmouth, perhaps son of Richard Tucker, was one of the founders of the church 1671, a freeman 1673; and called senior, may have joined with the great body of people to solicit protection in 1689, from Massachusetts and died 2 May 1706.

JOHN TUCKER, Hingham, son of John Tucker of the same, married March 1658, Elizabeth Hobart, who may have been daughter of Edmund Hobart the second of the same, was a freeman 1677.

JOH TUCKER N, Newbury, married 11 July 1670, Mary Richardson, had Mary, born 13 May 1677, probably died soon; Mary, again 25 January 1697; Richard, 9 March 1681; and John, 29 July 1683.

JOHN TUCKER, Gloucester, perhaps, but not probably son of Robert Tucker of the same, married 9 May 1681, Sarah Riggs, daughter of Thomas Riggs, had Mary, born 1682; Sarah, 1695; John, 1686; William, 1690; Thomas, 1692; Richard, 1695; Abigail, 1697; Joseph, 1701, and Grace 1706; may have lived at Casco, between 1680 and 90, some short time, but where or when he died is unknown.

JOHN TUCKER, Dover, captured by the Indians 26 July 1696, may have been adult or minor.

JOSEPH TUCKER, Milton, was one of the Company of the brave Captain Isaac Johnson, who was killed at their head in the great battle of 19 December 1675, and Tucker may have fallen also, for I know no more of him.

JOSEPH TUCKER, Salisbury, son of Maurice Tucker of the same, by wife Phebe Page, had James, born 25 April 1697; Samuel, 16 April 1699; and Joseph, 29 August 1702.

LEWIS TUCKER, Casco 1680-90, was perhaps son of Richard Tucker, born 1643, certainly brother of John Tucker, had Hugh of Kittery, Lewis of Newcastle New Hampshire, Elizabeth who married a Bragdon of York or Kittery, and Grace, who married Isaac Pierce of Boston. Willis I. 213.

MANASSEH TUCKER, Milton, perhaps son of Robert Tucker of the same, a freeman 1678, married before 1679, Waitstill Sumner, eldest daughter of Roger Sumner, had Manasseh, born about 1681, and probably others; was Deacon.

MAURICE TUCKER, or MORRIS TUCKER, Salisbury, married 14 October 1661, Elizabeth Stevens, daughter probably of John Stevens of the same, had Benoni, born 16 October 1662, and she died the same day. By second wife Elizabeth, he had John, 16 August 1664; Mary, 21 May 1666; James, 28 December 1667; Sarah, 19 May 1670; Joseph, 20 February 1672; Jabez, 5 February 1675; Elizabeth, 27 April 1677; and Morris or Maurice, 6 September 1679; was sworn his allegiance 1677, and a freeman 1690, when the name is given Meros, luckily for him the last letter was not Z.

RICHARD TUCKER, Casco, one of the earliest settlers in 1634, conjoined with George Cleaves in maintaining right of Laconia Patent and agent for Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and next for Alexander Rigby [Winthrop II. 256]; of the grand jury 1640, in 1653 had removed to vicinity of Portsmouth, in 1653 stood strong for jurisdiction of Massachusetts against the royal commissioners and died 1679, as Willis I. 29 tells, which mentioned that his wife Margaret outlived him. Perhaps she was passenger aged 23, embarked 1 July 1635, in the Abigail from London.

ROBERT TUCKER, Weymouth 1638, had Sarah, born 17 March 1639 and I think Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, besides possibly others, before or after removed. He was fined in 1640, for upbraiding James Britain, as a witness, called him a liar, and said he could prove it, of which the character of Britain may lead us to think he might be right; removed to Dorchester, that part who became in 1662, Milton, for which he was Representative 1669, 80 and 1. Sarah married August 1660, Peter Warren of Boston.

ROBERT TUCKER, Gloucester, 1651, was Representative 1652, town clerk to 1656; and had wife Elizabeth, and Babson, 172, gives children Ebenezer, who died 1653, Ephraim, born in 1653, and one with an impossible name, 1652. I regret to say, that I find little more of him. That he was the same as the Weymouth man was opinion of Babson, to who I have strong objection.

WILLIAM TUCKER, probably of York, died May 1666, and Nathaniel Fryer was administrator of the inventory 22 June was £73. 19s. 6d. and he left a widow. Of this name, in 1834, Farmer notes thirteen had been graduates at Harvard, three at Yale, three at other New England Colleges.

ABRAHAM TUCKERMAN, Boston, son of the first John Tuckerman, married 15 July 1692, Constance Worcester, daughter of William Worcester, had no children but died soon, and his widow married John Noiles junior, if such be true name, of Newfoundland.

JOHN TUCKERMAN, Boston, by wife Sarah, had Elizabeth, born 5 February 1652; John, 8 October 1655; Sarah, 20 November 1657, died in two weeks; Richard, 27 November 1658; Christian, 8 July 1661; Priscilla, 5 August 1666; Martha, 28 August 1668; Abraham, 3 December 1670; and Isaac, 6 February 1673.

JOHN TUCKERMAN, Boston, eldest son of the preceding, by first wife had John, and by second wife married 14 November 1693, Susanna Chamberlin, daughter of Edmund Chamberlin of Malden, had Sarah, Abraham, Jacob, and Edward. He is ancestor of most of this surname in New England.

NATHANIEL TUCKERMAN, Ipswich, son of Otho Tuckerman, by wife Martha, had Nathaniel, born 9 September 1684; Martha, 27 June 1686; John, and Elizabeth. He removed 1712 to Portsmouth.

OTHO TUCKERMAN, Portsmouth, by wife Emma, had Nathaniel, born about 1660; and other children; was drowned 24 May 1664.

GEORGE TUCKEY, Windsor 1645, fined for some idle words to old Mr. Eggleston's wife.

JOHN TUCKEY, Charlestown, joined the church 12 April 1650, was a householder in 1658, but I know no more.

JOHN TUDOR, Boston, by wife Elizabeth, had John, born 12 February 1673; and Thomas, 11 November 1674. The father of William Tudor of Boston, Harvard College 1769, a distinguished citizen, was also named John Tudor, but he probably was not any relative of the preceding, or succeeding, but brought by his married from Devonshire as tradition tells, about 1715.

OWEN TUDOR, or OWYN TUDOR, Windsor, 1645, may have been at Dorchester, but no such tradition exists, nor does any record show it; married 13 November 1651, widow Mary Skinner, daughter probably of Joseph Loomis of the same, had Samuel and Sarah, twins born 26 November 1652; Owen, 12 March 1655; Jane, 16 October 1657; and Mary, 6 March 1661; all baptized 12 May following and all living at his death 30 October 1690. His wife died 19 August 1680. He is reported in the freemen's list 1669, had been probably several years, was commonly thought to come from Wales, but that may be tradition as to a progeny or childish claim of relationship to be possessed of the throne of Great Britain. All the daughters we know married viz. Sarah, 1679, to James Porter; Jane, 28 October 1680, to Samuel Smith of Wethersfield; and Mary married a Judson before 1717, perhaps his second wife.

OWEN TUDOR, Windsor, son the preceding, died 1717, without wife or children, and by the court his property was distributed to his brother Samuel Tudor, sister Sarah Tudor, heirs of sister Jane Tudor, and to sister Mary Tudor.

SAMUEL TUDOR, Windsor, brother of the first Owen Tudor, married 1685 Abigail Bissell, daughter I suppose of Samuel Bissell of Windsor, had Abigail, born 1686; Mary, 1689; Sarah, 1692, probably died young; Sarah, again, 1695; Margaret, 1697; and Elizabeth, 1700; perhaps another child before Samuel Tudor, Yale College 1728, but the date of his birth I find not. He is absurdly said to have begun the settlement on East side of the great river 1677, when there were dwellers there, 20 years before and so much had it granted that in 1680, petition was offered for its incorporation as separate town. He died 6 July 1727. Farmer notes, that in 1834, five of this name had been graduates at Harvard and three at Yale.

RICHARD TUELLS, and THOMAS TUELLS, were of Gallop's company 1690, but perhaps, were truly Twelves, son of Robert Tuells.

JAMES TUFTS, killed by the Indians at Bloody brook, 18 September 1675, may have been a soldier of the flower of Essex.

JOHN TUFTS, Hingham, was from old Hingham, came in the Diligent, 1638 as one of the servants or apprentices of Thomas Cooper, but no more is known of him.

JOHN TUFTS, Malden, a freeman 1690, was son of Peter Tufts first of the same, married Mary Putnam, had Mary, born 11 April 1688; John, 28 May 1690; Nathaniel, 23 February 1693; Peter, 1696; Benjamin 1699; Thomas; and Stephen; and died 1728.

JOHN TUFTS, Malden, son of Peter Tufts the second, was ordained at Newbury, 30 June 1714, married 9 November following Sarah Bradstreet, perhaps daughter of John Bradstreet of Topsfield, youngest son of Governor Simon Bradstreet, had Mary, born 4 September 1715; Joshua Tufts, 4 October 1716, Harvard College 1736, and for second wife married 28 March 1723, Elizabeth Sargent, had John, born 13 December following who died at 20 months; Sarah, 21 April 1725; and John, again, 9 January 1727; and I know no more.

JONATHAN TUFTS, Malden son of the first Peter Tufts, a freeman 1690, by wife Rebecca Waite, had Jonathan, born 1 July 1685, died at 3 years; John, 11 April 1638; Jonathan, again, 6 February 1691; Rebecca, 16 October 1694; Samuel, 29 April 1697; Persis, 2 May 1700; Josph, 29 June 1704; and Abigail, 7 January 1707; and he died 18 August 1722. His wife was daughter of Captain John Waite, and his will was of 4 August 1718.

PETER TUFTS, Charlestown, lived on Malden side, came about 1650, with wife Mary Pierce, daughter of Elizabeth Pierce, and probably one or two children, was a freeman 1665, at Malden had John, born 7 May 1653; Mary, 19 June 1655; Jonathan, 19 June 1657, died at one year; Jonathan, again, 3 March 1660; John, about 1665; Mercy; Sarah; Elizabeth, 22 November 1672; and perhaps others, besides Peter, who I judge was the eldest. He was tythingman of Charlestown 1679, Representative for Medford 1689, and died 13 May 1700; aged 83, and his widow died January 1703. He made a will 1693, with codicil 1698, naming as left wife Mary, sons Peter, Jonathan, John, and four married or widowed daughters. Mary married 15 October 1674 John Edes; Elizabeth married Joseph Lynde; Mercy married 24 December 1688, Joseph Wait, and next a Jenkins; and Sarah married 22 July 1689 Thomas Oakes. The first and third were widows.

PETER TUFTS, Medford, eldest son of the preceding, born in England 1648, married 26 August 1670, Elizabeth Lynde, daughter of the second Thomas Lynde, and sister of the husband of his sister Elizabeth, had Ann, born 25 February 1677; Peter, 27 January 1679; Mary, 30 January 1682; and Thomas Tufts, 31 March 1683, Harvard College 1708. His wife died 15 July 1684, and he married 11 or 16 December 1684, Mary Cotton, daughter of Reverend Seaborn Cotton, had Cotton, 11 June 1686, died next month; Mary, 4 July 1687, died at 10 months; John Tufts, 5 May 1689, Harvard College 1708; Samuel, 22 August 1691, died next years; Dorothy, 5 May 1693, died at 4 months; Mercy, 20 June 1695, died at 2 years; Dorothy, again, 27 March 1697, died at 8 months; Mercy, again, 7 October 1698; Simon Tufts, 31 January 1700, Harvard College 1724; Sarah, 13 May 1702; Dorothy, again, 14 December 1704; and Lydia, 30 January 1707. His wife died 18 June 1715, and he had 3rd wife Prudence; was a freeman 1679, a Captain, and Representative 1689, 90, and died 20 September 1721.

SIMON TUFTS, Medford, youngest son of the second Peter Tufts, was the earliest physician at Medford, married Abigail Smith, had Simon Tufts, born 16 June 1727, Harvard College 1744; Abigail, 3 September 1730; William, 28 August 1732; Cotton Tufts, 30 May 1734, Harvard College 1749, a man of eminence; Samuel, 7 January 1736; Mercy, 19 October 1742; and Ann, 8 November 1744; and he died 31 January 1747.

THOMAS TUFTS, Medford, son of Peter Tufts the second, married Emma Phips, daughter of Samuel Phips of Charlestown, had Catharine, Samuel, Simon, Solomon, David, and Frederic; and died about 1737. Farmer says fifteen of this name had been graduates at Harvard 1834, leaving implication that none had been at any of the other Colleges.

JACOB TULLER, Simsbury; youngest son of John Tuller of the same, married Mary Moses, and I know no more.

JOHN TULLER, Simsbury, married 1684 Elizabeth Case, widow of Joseph Lewis, daughter of John Case of the same, had Sarah, born 4 August 1685; William, 10 June 1687; Mary, 27 November 1692; Jacob, 22 May 1694; and Mabel, 22 February 1699; and his wife died 9 October 1718. He died 1742. The first two children were baptized at Hartford. At Simsbury he was one of the founders of the church 10 November 1697. Sarah married John Moses junior. Mary married Samuel Humphrey; and Mable married Samuel Chidester of Wallingford, as is shown by the patient investigation of Goodwin.

WILLIAM TULLER, Simsbury, elder son of John Tuller of the same, married Damaris Cornish; but no more is told of him except that he died 22 September 1749.

JOHN TULLY, Saybrook, was baptized at Horley, County Surrey, 27 miles from London, 9 September 1638, and the family tradition proceeds to relate how his mother brought him here two or three years at the death of his father in 1644, was propounded for a freeman 1671, and married 3 January 1672, Mary Beamond, daughter of William Beamond, or William Beaman, had John, born 3 December 1672; Sarah, 9 April 1674, died at 18 years; William, 5 January 1677; Lydia, 15 March 1679; Mary, 10 August 1681; Deborah, 24 February 1684; Lucy, 22 March 1687, died at 5 years; and Hepzibah, 22 December 1689. He had some fame as almanac making for 20 years, and died 5 October 1701. See Field, history of Middlesex County 104; and Genealogical Registrar III. 167, where is much wild legend. The son John died at sea; Sarah married John Smith; and Mary married Daniel Clark, both of Haddam.

WILLIAM TULLY, Saybrook, son of the preceding, a shoemaker, married it is said, Abigail Maverick of Boston, with equal probably and precision, daughter of a minister who left England in the time of persecution, had John, born 18 March 1702; Margaret, 28 May 1701; Abigail, 5 July 1707; Wiliiam, 13 June 1709; Lydia, 24 July 1711; Elias, 17 January 1714; Sarah, 6 January 1716; Mary, 30 March 1718, died at 21 years; Samuel, 29 April 1721, died at 28 years; and Daniel, 24 July 1723, died young; and the father died July 1744. The widow died 9 December 1750 in her 76th year.

ELISHA TUPPER, soldier, 1690, in Gallop's abortive service against Quebec to please Sir William Phips, may have been son of second Thomas Tupper.

THOMAS TUPPER, Lynn, removed with many others of that town to Sandwich 1637, was Representative 1646, and 16 years after died 28 March 1676, aged 97 years and 2 months, and his wife died 4 June after in her 90th year says Colony record.

THOMAS TUPPER, Sandwich, son of the preceding, the town clerk who certified the record of his parents' age, had Eldad, born 31 May 1675; was Representative 1679, and the first from that place under the new Charter 1692. He had been much engaged in preaching to the Indians and in the Magnalia, VI. 61, we find he had 180 hearers.

PETER TURBAT, or PETER TUEBUTT, in the list of those, swore to allegiance at Wells, 5 July 1653, constable 1661, had wife Sarah, children John, Peter, and Elizabeth. His inventory was of £61, presently 14 October 1669. But this name means Talbot, I think.

HENRY TURBEFIEELD, Weymouth, had Ann, born 8 September 1673. I have some doubt of the name.

COLBURN TURELL, Boston, son of Captain Daniel Turell, was one of the volunteers who set forth, in October 1689, on the sucessful expedition under Colonial authority to captain a pirate vessel in Vineyard Sound. See Genealogical Registrar II. 393.

DANIEL TURELL, Boston, blacksmith, artillery company 1656, came from Instow on the North coast of Devonshire mid way from Barnstable to Bideford, and by his first wife Lydia Blott, perhaps daughter of Robert Blott, who joined our church 29 August 1647, he had Daniel, born 16 August 1646; John, baptized 4 March 1649, about 6 days old; Joseph, 27 December 1653, died in few months; Joseph, again, 25 March 1655; probably Ann, 20 August 1657, who in the substitute record is assigned to Samuel, as in Genealogical Registrar X. 70; and Samuel, 14 June 1659. She died 23 June 1659, and he married at Roxbury, 10 November 1659, Mary Colbron, widow of John Barrell, and daughter of Elder William Colbron, had Lydia, 30 November 1660; Colburn, 4 December 1662; Sarah and Elizabeth, twins 14 October 1663; and Benjamin, 24 June 1665; was a freeman 1669, Captain 1683 after filling the lower ranks, and died July 1693, was buried says Sewall's Diary on 24.

DANIEL TURELL, Boston, son of the preceding, blacksmith, artillery company 1674, was administrator of Second or Mather's church 7 September 1672, but why neither he nor any other of the name except his father took the freeman's oath at any time is uncertain. He by wife Ann, had besides Mary, born 4 April 1672; Ann, 31 March 1674; and Lydia, 17 January 1678; Daniel, certainly and perhaps Joseph, and John, who by town record seems to have been born 18 April, all baptized 30 April 1693; and certainly Humphrey, born 22, baptized 28 September 1696. Probably he died 23 January 1699, as Farmer erronously assigned that date to his father.

JOSEPH TURELL, Boston, brother of the preceding, by wife Sarah, had Sarah, born 31 October 1679; and Humphrey, 21 May 1681.

SAMUEL TURELL, Boston, by wife Lydia, had Ann, born 20 August 1657, says Genealogical Registrar X. 70, when Daniel Turell the first was the true father.

SAMUEL TURELL, Boston, brother of the Joseph Turell, married Lydia Stoddard, daughter of Anthony Stoddard, had John, born July 1687; and Christian or Christopher, the record being uncertain 17 December 1688, which do not seem to have been baptized though joined Mather's church 18 January 1685; had Samuel, baptized 5 November 1693, probably died soon; Mary, 26 January 1696; Samuel, again, 9 April 1699; and Ebenezer Turell, born 5 baptized 8 February 1702, Harvard College 1721, minister of Medford to which we owe the Memoir on famous Dr. Colman, whose daughter he married.

By his will of 15 October 1712, probated 17 November 1714, the old man bestows all his estate on wife except to "Susanna Milborne or Watson, and her offspring one shill. "

ANANIAS TURNER, Kenilworth 1668, presently for a freeman by the name of Turriner, who in my conjecture is error of spelling by false pronounciation May 1669.

DANIEL TURNER, Duxbury 1643, of which I would gladly know more. He may be the person who took oath of fidelity 1647, at New Haven, but did not continue there, and perhaps the same who was punished at Hartford 1649, for libel on Mrs. Chester. See Connecticut Colony record I. 194.

DANIEL TURNER, Scituate, son of Humphrey Turner, married 20 January 1665, Hannah Randall, daughter of William Randall, was living 1699.

DAVID TURNER, Scituate, son of the second John Turner, married Elizabeth Stockbridge, daughter of Charles Stockbridge the first.

He had baptized at Milford, Mercy in 1662; a son probably Edward, 1664; and Mary 1666, though born at Middletown, 5 November 1665; Elizabeth, born 14 December 1667, probably though record says 14 December 1668, which must be wrong; John, 5 or 8 August 1669; Stephen, 27 November 1671; Abigail, 10 September 1673; Hannah, 20 June 1675 or 6, the last figure being indistinguishable, and Richard, 4 March 1679.

EDWARD TURNER, Boston, who may be the same as the preceding, married 25 October 1656, Mary Sanford, daughter of Richard Sanford.

ELlSHA TURNER, Hingham, married June 1687, Elizabeth Jacob; but I am not sure that he did not belong to Scituate or Weymouth, and to Hingham only resort for wife.

EPHRIAM TURNER, Boston, eldest son of Robert Turner, the innholder, artillery company 1663, a freeman 1666, Ensign in the Company of Captain James Oliver, 1675, and held the colors until 1680; was a brazier.

HUMPHREY TURNER, Scituate, had come with wife and eldest son John Turner, perhaps also second John and tradition would be him bringing two more from a part of England hitherto undetermined, where he had been a tanner, and about 1628 sat down at Plymouth, some years after removed to Scituate where he was one the founders of the church January 1635, and earliest rest prominent men. There his wife joined the church 10 January 1636. At Plymouth he was taxed, we know by the record 1633 and 4, and there probably were born Lydia, and Thomas. But to Scituate we know he removed 1634, and assign to this resident Mary, baptized 25 January 1635; Joseph, 1 January 1637; Nathaniel, 10 March 1639; and Daniel. Certainly in 1643, two Johns are in the list of those able to bear arms for Scituate. There he was constable, Representative in 1640, 52 and 3; died 1673. His wife Lydia had died before that daughter Lydia married 15 August 1649, James Doughty; and Mary married 13 November 1651, William Parker, as his second wife.

His will of 12 April probated 25 May of that year made wife executor and provides for the two children. His widow died probably December 1660, as the inventory was taken that month.

JOHN TURNER, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 1620, with two in family, which Bradford calls his son, but died within three or four months. He left a daughter in England who came over, was married at Salem, lived in 1650" well appropriately." But I know not who was her husband.

His daughter Mary married about 1683, Isaac Prince; and Lydia married 1675, John James, and in 1680, William Barrell.

JOHN TURNER, Scituate, second son of Humphrey Turner, by his father called young John Turner, perhaps born in England, tradition says the name at baptism was given by godfather, but such folly should not have been allowed, married 25 April 1649, Ann James, but her parents are not known, had Japhet, born 9 February 1650; Ann, 23 February 1652; Israel, 14 February 1654; Miriam, 8 April 1658; Sarah, 25 July 1665; Jacob, 10 March 1667; David, 5 November 1670; Philip, 18 August 1673; and Ichabod, 9 April 1676; and died 1687.

JOHN TURNER, Salem, with wife Elizabeth, joined the church 19 November 1637, had John, and Elizabeth who married 9 June 1665, Eleazer Gedney; was perhaps the freeman of 2 May 1649, a merchant and died at Barbadoes 1668.

JOHN TURNER, Roxbury, member of the church before 1650, had Elizabeth, born 27 September 1647; Deborah, baptized 14 January 1649; but no more is found in record of town, so that he may be the freeman of 2 May 1649, and well judged to have removed, and not unlikely to the new settlement at Medfield, by wife Deborah, there had John, 3 March baptized 8 June at Roxbury 1651; Isaac; Mary, 18 November 1658; Samuel; Sarah; Abigail; and Hannah; probably baptized at Medfield after Wilson became minister. Deborah married 18 November 1668, Jabez Tatman of Roxbury.

JOHN TURNER, Boston 1660, second son of Robert Turner the first, following the business of his father as a vintner, a freeman 1666, married Lucy Gardber, daughter of Thomas Gardner of Boston (Muddy River), had in 1673, secured grant of 150 acres, perhaps on account of the service of his father, was dead before October 1681, when his widow executrix applied for confirmation of the land to grantee of her husband. She next married George Monk.

JOHN TURNER, Boston, described as son of John Turner of Walton, County Suffolk, binds himself by indenture, apprentice 22 April 1649, to Edward Bendall for 12 years which seems a very long term.

JOHN TURNER, Salem, son of John Turner of the same, married 20 April 1669, Elizabeth Roberts, had John, born 12 September 1671; Elizabeth, 15 December 1673; Eunice, 1 January 1676; Freestone, 25 October 1677; and Abiah, posthumous 14 October 1680; the last two being daughters, in spite of their names. In this last year he died 9 October leaving very large estate.

JOHNATHAN TURNER, Scituate, eldest son of John Turner the first of the same, married Martha Besbedge, daughter of Elisha Besbedge, had Jesse, and probably other children.

JOSEPH TURNER, Scituate, son of Humphrey Turner of the same, married Bathsheba Hobart, daughter of Reverend Peter Hobart of Hingham, but I know no more.

JOSEPH TURNER, Boston, son of Robert Turner the first, unmarried in his will of 2 November 1674, probated 3 June following, names mother Penelope, sister Penelope Turner, wife of John Fairweather, and nephew John Fairweather, gives to them his little property, probably he was infirm from youth, and his inventory shows only £20, though a careless reader might think it was far larger in amount.

JOSIAH TURNER, Scituate, is named as one of the witnesses to will of Joseph Wermall in 1662, but I do not see whose son he was, or anything further of him.

LAWRENCE TURNER, perhaps of Exeter 1650, there had wife Sarah, certainly was of Newport, among a freeman of 1657, and removed to Greenwich, and submitted the same year to the jurisdiction of New Haven.

MICHAEL TURNER, Lynn 1637, removed Says Lewis, to Sandwich, before 1643, we know for there in this year his name enrolled among those able to bear arms, and was constable the year before there had wife and grant of land.

NATHANIEL TURNER, Lynn, came 1630, in the fleet with Winthrop, registered administration as a freeman 19 October of that year, land was sworn in 3 July 1632, and was constable, the same year was Representative 1634, at the first Court, when Deputy, came 1635 and 6, went against the Pequots 1637, had a wife whose name, family or baptized we have not seen, and removed next year to the new settlement at New Haven, with his child Mary, probably the name of eldest daughter who married Thomas Yale; Nathaniel; Rebecca; Abigail; Hannah, who was baptized 17 November being the earliest in the church record, and Isaac, 7 June 1640. In 1640, he was one of the purchasers of Stamford, always a man of enterprise and public spirit, and sailed for London, in the ill-fated bark, with Captain Lamberton, Mr. Gregs. and others, January 1646, whose arrival was never heard of. The widow married Samuel Vangoodenhausen, and of the daughters besides the wife of Thomas Yale before mentioned, Rebecca married about 1649, Thomas Mix; Abigail married 2 September 1651, John Hudson; and Hannah married Samuel Hopkins, 5 December 1667.

PRAISEVER TURNER, Dorchester, eldest son of Jeffrey Turner, a soldier killed at Northampton, where he was some years residing 28 September 1675, but whether he was married or had family is unknown.

RALPH TURNER, Scarborough or Falmouth, one of those inhabitants who united in addressing 4 July 1663, in which the loyalty is well exhibited, was constable in 1670.

RICHARD TURNER, Boston, member of the church before Cotton came; but some years after his residence is unknown, nor much to be sought, for, as of him nothing is found but his excommunication in November 1638, for excessive drink of strong waters, being drunk more than once, and, as the Colony record I. shows, mulct. for it in 1639.

ROBERT TURNER, Boston 1633 or ealier, as he is called our brother, Edward Bendall's man servant. On administration to the children 8 September, next to Reverend John Cotton and his wife though he may come in the ship with them; a freeman 4 March following, by wife Penelope, had Ephraim, born 13, baptized 22 December 1639; Sarah, 11, baptized 14 March 1641; John, 1, baptized 4 December 1642; Joseph, 7, baptized 15 September 1644; Benjamin, 6 March 1647, who probably died before his father, at least is not named in his will; Daniel, 26 November 1650, died at 4 months; was artillery company 1640, and Lieutenant 1662, a thrifty innholder, who at the sign of the anchor, furnished lodgings and refreshments to the members of the government, frequently to Commissioners of the United Colonies of New England to juries, and to the clergy, when summoned into synod by our General Court. His will of 9 July 1664, probated 24 August following, as he spoke it in volume I. 433, is to be read in Genealogical Registrar XIII. 11. Sarah married 15 November 1650, John Fairweather.

ROBERT TURNER, Boston shoemaker, came probably in the Blessing from London, 1635, aged 24, was recorded into our church 17 February 1644, and next day had baptized his son John, born 28 April preceding, by wife Elizabeth, who joined 7 March 1646. In three months from baptism that child died and John, again, born 8 was baptized 15 September 1644; Habacuck, 18 April 1647; and Elizabeth; and died September 1651. With several others in 1648, he applied to our General Court for incorporation as a guild of shoemakers. His will of 14 August preceding, his daughter gives half of estate to his wife provides for the three children and another if it come. The sum of property was decent; widow was executrix and her posthumous son Robert was born 17 May following but died at 3 months.

THOMAS TURNER, Exeter 1652, may be the person embarked at London, September 1635 aged 42, in the Hopewell.

THOMAS TURNER, Hingham 1639, son of Humphrey Turner of Scituate, perhaps born in England, married 6 January 1652, Sarah Hyland, daughter of Thomas Hyland, had Nathaniel, born 1 March 1655; Elizabeth July 1656; and died November 1688.

THOMAS TURNER, Marblehead 1668, is by me regarded as the same, who in Dana, page 8 is given as inhabitant of married 1674. See Genealogical Registrar IX. 83.

WILLIAM TURNER, Dorchester 1642, a freeman 10 May 1643, removed to Boston, and was one of the founders of the First Baptist Church 1665; would, early in Philip's war, have formed a company of volunteers for service against the common enemy, but, as most of the associates were his religious persuasion, his and their offers were slighted. As the war grew more dangerous in the following spring, he was encouraged by the government and had command on the upper waters of Connecticut river, on 18 May surprised the Indians at the place where the falls have since borne his name, and gave them a signal defeat, but on the return he was surrounded at Green river and the next day after the Falls fight was killed with fourteen of his men. See Niles strangely indistinct, in 3 Massachusetts history Collection VI. 184. His wife was a widow of Key Alsop, and children were, probably by another, perhaps Frances. Not all born in Boston, at least only Prudence, 12 October 1665, is to be found in the record yet his will made 10 February 1676, as he was suddenly called to the war, probated 21 July following provided for wife Mary and children without naming any, though he refers to his eldest daughter. Farmer notes that eight of this name had, in 1834, been graduates at Harvard, eight at Yale, and six at other New England Colleges.

BENJAMIN TURNEY, Concord, had Rebecca, born 16 February 1640; Sarah, 11 December 1641; and Ruth, 28 January 1644; was a freeman June 1641, removed to Fairfield, there had Benjamin, and died 1648. His inventory is of 6 June in that year and children were Mary, 17 years old; Robert, 15; Judith, 13; Ann, 11; all probably born in England; Rebecca, 8; Sarah, 6; Ruth, 4; and Benjamin, 3. His widow Mary, perhaps mother of all the children, married Joseph Middlebrook, who had also removed from Concord to Fairfield. Mary the daughter married in 1649, Nathaniel Seely, Rebecca married Stephen Sherwood of Greenwich; and the other daughters were married.

BENJAMIN TURNEY, Fairfield, son of the preceding, died 1694, probably for his inventory was presented in November of that year, leaving widow Rebecca, and children Benjamin, 22; Robert, 20; Rebecca, 18; Thomas, and Sarah, 15; Jemima, 8; and Jonathan, 4.

JOSEPH TURNEY, Stamford 1687-1701, of who no more is told, hardly seems to be any connection of the Fairfield family.

ROBERT TURNEY, Fairfield, eldest son of Benjamin Turney the first, of which by his will of 31 December 1689, and inventory 17 January following, we learn that he had wife Elizabeth, sons Benjamin and Robert, and seven daughters Elizabeth, Mary, Ruth, Martha, Rebecca, and the wives of Joseph Jennings and of Ephraim Wheeler, called son-in-law, while the wives are not named and perhaps were dead. He was Captain some years later, than a freeman 1664.

THOMAS TURPIN, Isle of Shoals, fisherman, bought in December 1645, with Richard Cummings, all the plantation of Francis Williams of Portsmouth.

THOMAS TURVILL, Newbury 1668, a tanner, was engaged in the controversy between Mr. Parker and member of his church taking the side of the minister, died 22 May 1677, leaving no children. His widow Judith died 11 July 1689.

DAVID TUTTLE, DAVID TUTTEL, or DAVID TUTHILL, New Haven, son of William Tuttle, a proprietor 1685, in 1687 put under the care of his brother Thomas Tuttle, and died 1693, without children.

HENRY TUTTLE, HENRY TUTTEL, or HENRY TUTHILL, Hingham 1637, came with wife from some place in County Norfolk, a freeman March 1638, was made constable 1640.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, Ipswich, came in the Planter from London 1635, aged 39, with wife Joan, 42; and children Abigail, 6; Simon, 4; Sarah, 2; and John, 1; besides Jane Giddings, 20, and her husband George, 25, who are known to be called children of Tuttle. They had probably lived at St. Albans, in Hertfordshire and had embarked 2 April to be joined four days after by several others of the same names in two families. He was a freeman 13 March 1639, Representative 1644; and probably had more children on our side of the ocean, as Simon (perhaps in place of him who died) and Mary. After few years he went home, was established to advantage in Ireland, whither in 1654 his wife followed. He died 30 December 1656 at Carrickfergus, whence his widow in 1689 writes to George Giddings as her son and so called also John and Simon, and John Lawrence. His daughter Sarah married 1 February 1654, Richard Martin.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, New Haven 1640, appointed constable 1642, had, says the careful town record Samuel, born 9 January 1660; Sarah, 22 January 1662; Daniel and Mary, twins 13 April 1664; and Elizabeth, 21 November 1666, who all were baptized the year following, but the blundering church record has all with false dates, 23 instead of 24 March for the first, which is a slight affair but abominable for the youngest, said to be baptized two days before she was born.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, Southold, Long Island, went probably from New Haven with Reverend John Youngs, about 1641. He was living 1681, had John, born 16 July 1635; Joshua; and James. It is supposed he was from Saxlingham, County Norfolk.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, Dover 1642 or earlier, died late in 1662, leaving widow Dorothy, one daughter, married son John, another daughter, and son Thomas, all perhaps minors. The last was killed 1664 by the fall of a tree. The younger daughter was perhaps Dorothy, who married 1 September 1686, Samuel Tibbets of Dover.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, Boston, son probably of Richard Tuttle, married 10 February 1647, Mary Holyoke, daughter of Edward Holyoke, had Mary, born 18 April 1653; Rebecca, 17 June 1660; and Sarah; lived at Rumney Marsh, perhaps removed to Lynn, and may be the freeman there of 1671, possibly that Lieutenant of the corps of cavalry, who was discharged 1673. Mary married 4 December 1678, Caleb Carter; and Sarsh married Joseph Newell, both of Charlestown.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, New Haveen, perhaps eldest son of William Tuttle, brought by his father under 4 years of age in the Planter, married 8 November 1653, Catharine Lane, had Hannah, born 2 November 1655; John, 15 September 1657; Samuel, 9 January 1660; Sarah, 22 January 1662; Daniel and Mary, twins 13 April 1664; all baptized March 1666, but the day in Genealogical Registrar IX. 363, is wrong; and Elizabeth, born 21 baptized 25 November following, and all in right of their mother besides another later, David, 15 Nov 1668. His inventory is of 12 November 1683. Hannah married 7 November 1672, Samuel Clark; and Sarah married 10 September 1685, John Hummerston.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, Southold, Long Island, son of John Tuttle of the same, married 17 February 1658, Deliverance King, had John, born 14 Feb 1659; Elizabeth; Henry, 1 May 1665; Hannah; Abigail; Dorothy; Deliverance; Daniel, 23 January 1680; and Nathaniel, 10 November 1683. He had second wife married 28 May 1690, Sarah Young; and died 12 October 1717.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, Dover, son of John Tuttle first of the same, filled many offices, town clerk 30 years, selectman, Representative, and judge of C.C.P., had John, born about 1671; Thomas, 4 April 1674; James, 7 April 1683; and Ebenezer; besides two daughters, and leaving large estate, died 1720. In his will calls wife Mary, children Ebenezer and Mary; grandchildren Thomas and John, sons probably of John, who had been killed by the Indians 17 May 1712; John, and Nicholas, son perhaps of Thomas, who had died 26 April 1699, in the Bay of Campeachy, and Elijah and Phebe, children of James, who died 1709; besides John and Peter Hayes, who must, I think, have been children of John. Mary was wife of John Wallingford, married 6 December 1687; and I find reason to differ from Mr. Quint, who supposes that she was the same who married Hayes.

JOHN TUTTLE, JOHN TUTTEL, or JOHN TUTHILL, Ipswich, son perhaps of the first Simon Tuttle, married 3 December 1689, Martha Ward, perhaps sister of Samuel Ward, had Martha, born 1690; and Mary, 7 July 1696; and he died 26 February 1716.

JONATHAN TUTTLE, JONATHAN TUTTEL, or JONATHAN TUTHILL, New Haven, son of William Tuttle, was in the freemen's list 1669, by wife Rebecca Bell, daughter of Francis Bell of Stamford, had Rebecca, born 10 September 1664; Mary, 7 February 1666; David, 14 November 1668, though this is manifestly wrong, for next comes, in less than five months Jonathan, 6 April 1669; and David on the same 14 November 1668, is, by the same author, given to John; Simon, 11 March 1671; William, 25 May 1673; and Nathaniel, 25 February 1676. His wife died 2 May 1676. He was proprietor 1685.

JONATHAN TUTTLE, JONATHAN TUTTEL, or JONATHAN TUTHILL, Boston, a freeman 1690.

JOSEPH TUTTLE, JOSEPH TUTTEL, or JOSEPH TUTHILL, New Haven, son of William Tuttle, propounded for a freeman 1669, married 2 May 1667, Hannah Munson, daughter of Thomas Munson, had Joseph, born 18 March 1668; Samuel, 1 July 1670; Stephen, 20 May 1673; Joanna, 13 December 1675; Timothy, 30 September 1678, died soon; Susanna, 20 February 1680, died young; Elizabeth, 12 July 1683; and Hannah, May 1685 who may have died soon; and another Hannah came in her place. He died 1690, aged, says Dodd, 62, when he could be only 50, if the son of William Tuttle. His widow married 1694; Nathan Bradley, and died next year. He was proprietor 1685.

JOSHUA TUTTLE, JOSHUA TUTTEL, or JOSHUA TUTHILL, Southold, Long Island, son of the first John Tuttle of the same, had Joshua.

NATHANIEL TUTTLE, NATHANIEL TUTTEL, or NATHANIEL TUTHILL, New Haven, son of William Tuttle, proprietor 1685, may have been some years at Woodbury, there had Mary, baptized May 1683; Ephraim; Hezekiah; Isaac, born 3 February 1698; Temperance and Ann; died 20 August leaving wife Sarah, and named in his will all those children except the first, who was, perhaps dead. At New Haven the record names Ephraim, born 20 July 1683, and Temperance, 24 November 1684; and first record the marriage 10 April as one reads or another August 1682, with Sarah Howe, eldest daughter of Ephraim Howe. So that the order of children taken above from Cothren must be incorrect, and possibly one of the names.

RICHARD TUTTLE, RICHARD TUTTEL, or RICHARD TUTHILL, Boston, came in the Planter, from London 1635, aged 42, called husbandman; with Isabel, 70, perhaps his mother; wife Ann, 41; children Ann, 12; John, 10; and Rebecca, 6; he with his wife joined our church 27 December after arriving, was administered freeman 3 March following, and 8 May 1640. Perhaps his daughter Ann married John Pantry of Hartford, and next, 23 June 1654, Thomas Welles of Hartford.

SAMUEL TUTTLE, SAMUEL TUTTEL, or SAMUEL TUTHILL, New Haven, a proprietor 1685, was son of John Tuttle, and grandson of William Tuttle, but no more is known to me, except that he married Sarah Newman, daughter of Richard Newman.

SIMON TUTTLE, SIMON TUTTEL, or SIMON TUTHILL, Ipswich, son of John Tuttle of the same, born in England, married Sarah Cogswell, daughter of John Cogswell, had Joanna, born 24 September 1664; Simon, 17 September 1667; Elizabeth, 24 November 1670; Sarah, 3 September 1672; Abigail, 7 October 1673, Susanna, 7 May 1675; William, 7 May 1677; Charles. 31 March 1679; Mary, 12 June 1680; Jonathan, 11 June 1682; and Ruth, 16 August 1685; and he died January 1692. Of the children named, John and eight others were living at the death of father. Two other children were born of which one was John, but probably the other lived not many hours. His widow Sarah, after these thirteen children lived to 24 January 1732. The eldest daughter married a Packard; Elizabeth married Samuel Ayres of Haverhill; Abigail married Philemon Warner, Mary married Thomas Burnham and one married Samuel Ward.

SIMON TUTTLE, SIMON TUTTEL, or SIMON TUTHILL, New Haven, had Daniel, born 11 November 1680; Jonathan, had in 1670 engaged to remove to Wallingford, certainly did not long continued there.

SIMON TUTTLE, SIMON TUTTEL, or SIMON TUTHILL, Ipswich, son of Simon Tuttle of the same, married 16 January or one account says June 1696, Mary Rogers, daughter of Samuel Rogers, had Sarah, born 11 October 1697; Margaret, 24 August 1699; and Elizabeth, 26 September 1700.

THOMAS TUTTLE, THOMAS TUTTEL, or THOMAS TUTHILL, New Haven, son of William Tuttle, not the babe he brought in 1635, with him, unless we reject (as I am very ready to do) the numeration of years at his death given by Dodd; was a freeman before 1669, proprietor 1685, married 21 May 1661, Hannah Powell, eldest daughter of Thomas Powell; had Hannah, born 24 February 1662; Abgail 17 January 1664; Mary, 14 January 1666; Thomas, 27 October 1667; John, 5 December 1669; Esther, 9 April 1672; Caleb, 29 August 1674; Joshua, 19 December 1676; and Martha, 23 May 1679. His wife died 15 October 1710; and died four days after, aged 68, says Dodd, probably following the gravestone inscription too little by seven years.

WILLIAM TUTTLE, WILLIAM TUTTEL, or WILLIAM TUTHILL, Boston, came in the Planter 1635, aged 26, with wife Elizabeth, 23; children John, 3 1/2; Ann, 2 1/4; and Thomas, 3 months. He is, by tradition said to have come from County Northampton. His wife joined our church 24 July 1636, and brought to be baptized Jonathan, 2 July 1637; David, 7 April 1639. Soon after he removed to New Haven, there became a man of consequence, had Joseph, baptized 22 November 1640; Sarah, April 1642; Elizabeth, 9 November 1645; Simon, 28 March 1647; Benjamin, 29 October 1648; Mercy, born 27 April baptized 19 May 1650; and Nathaniel, 24, baptized 29 February 1652. His estate was given to be administered June 1673, all the children living, and the wife died 30 December 1684. Of the daughters Sarah married 12 November 1663, John Slawson; Mercy married 2 May 1667, Samuel Brown; Elizabeth married 19 November following Richard Edwards. Farmer numbers the graduates in 1834, as six at Yale, four at Harvard, and two at other New England Colleges.

ROBERT TWELVES, ROBERT TUELLS, or ROBERT TWELLS, Braintree, was one of the petitioners for grant of what did not belong to our government, honestly to give (the region possessed by Gorton and his fellow misbelievers) in October 1645, married 22 or 23 November 1655, Martha Brackett, daughter of Peter Brackett, had Mary, born 8 July 1656; Martha, 17 December 1657, or 19 December 1658, as in Genealogical Registrar XII. 350, died soon; Richard, 16 May 1660, the record in Boston, but by another record Martha, again, 16 June 1660; Rachel, 8 May 1662; Peter, 10 October 1666; Sarah, baptized 29 May 1670; John, 14 July 1672; but these two were at the Third Church in Boston; Hannah, 21 September 1673; Abigail, 27 or 28, baptized 29 July 1677; was a freeman 1663, and caught from his father-in-law the military distinction Ensign 1671, Lieutenant in 1684, died 2 March 1691, aged (though gravestone says eighty years) about 77 years old. Mary married 4 November 1676, Ebenezer Tyng; Rachel married 25 September 1689, William French, and died soon; and Abigail married 12 June 1704, Shubael Seaver of Roxbury. His will of 18 March 1697, probated 6 May following, shows that Mary had another husband one Clarke, and that three then unmarried daughters were Hannah, Sarah, and Abigail. Of this name Mr. Secretary Increase Nowell, in the Colony record volume II. 128, made the ingenious, or ridiculous, perversion Quelves.

WILLIAM TWIDE, is the name given to a passenger in the Arabella, 1671, from London, for New England, but he was not long lived here unless he changed it.

STEPHEN TWINING, Eastham, son of William Twining the second, married 3 January 1683, Abigail Young, daughter of John Young of the same, had Stephen, born 30 December 1684; Eleazer, 26 November 1686; Nathaniel, 27 March 1689; Mercy, 8 September 1690; and John, 5 March 1693.

WILLIAM TWINING, Yarmouth 1643, removed early to Eastham, had perhaps, by wife Ann, William, probably born in England, and Elizabeth and Ann, probably here. He died 15 April 1659, and Ann, wife of William senior died 27 February 1681, but possibly this may not have been the wife who bore the second William, but this second wife Elizabeth married 19 August 1669, John Rogers; and Ann, married 3 October 1672, Thomas Bills.

WILLIAM TWINING, Eastham, son of the preceding, probably born in England, married Elizabeth Deane, daughter of Stephen Deane, Susanna, born 25 January 1665; Joanna, 30 May 1657; Stephen, 6 February 1660; and Wiliam. He was living in 1695.

WILLIAM TWINING, Eastham, son of the preceding, married 26 March 1689, Ruth Cole, daughter of John Cole of the same, had Elizabeth, born 25 August 1690; Thankful, 11 January 1697; Ruth, 7 August 1699; Hannah, 2 April 1702; William, 2 September 1704; Barnabas, 29 September 1705; and Mercy 20 February 1708.

JOHN TWISDWDEN, JOHN TWISDALE, or JOHN TWISDALL, York 1648, had been of Scituate in 1639, and came from County Kent, was of grand jury 1649, probably had John, for in November 1652, John senior and junior submitted to Massachusetts and

SAMUEL TWISDWDEN, SAMUEL TWISDALE, or SAMUEL TWISDALL is found in 1656. His daughter Alice or Elizabeth married 20 November 1649, Joseph Tilden of Scituate. Both John and Samuel, who were probably sons of the first John, swore allegiance to Charles II. March 1681.

BENJAMIN TWITCHELL, BENJAMIN TUCHILL, or BENJAMIN TWITCHWELL, Dorchester, was probably of Medfield 1663, with wife Mary, had several children of who Joseph, and Benjamin, to whom we can affix no dates of birth, may have been, besides Mary, born 8 March 1659; Hannah; Bethia; Abiel, 1 November 1663; were part; but no more is with precision related except he was among grantees of Lancaster 1654.

BENJAMIN TWITCHELL, BENJAMIN TUCHILL, or BENJAMIN TWITCHWELL, Medfield, son of the preceding, married 5 April 1685, Mary White, perhaps as second wife, had some years dwelt at Sherborn, and there had Beenjamin, born 15 September 1684; John, 4 January 1688; Ebenezer, 10 December 1691; Mary, 28 August 1694; and Abigail, 5 June 1699.

FRANCIS TWITCHELL, FRANCIS TUCHILL, or FRANCIS TWITCHWELL, Dorchester 1633, is by Dr. Harris called Tuthill, in the easy mistake of a single letter, the c in engrossing hand frequently (as scores of errors resulted demonstrated) resembles t.

JOSEPH TWITCHELL, JOSEPH TUCHILL, or JOSEPH TWITCHWELL, Dorchester 1633, perhaps brother of the preceding, a freeman 14 May 1643, was there living 1656, had Joseph, who died 13 September 1651. The last form of spelling prevails in the Colony record, the first is now common, and the Dorchester record obeyed the sound.

JOHN TWOMBLY, or JOHN TWAMBLY, Dover, eldest son of Ralph Twombly of the same, married 18 April 1687, Mary Kenny, and in his will of 18 July 1724, names second wife Rachel; but our information does not extend to tell of whom the children were born, though there were named by the will enough for both, five sons and five daughters, the priority or order of birth being inscrutinized. John, Joseph, Samuel, who alone, enjoys a date, born 10 March 1699, Benjamin, William, Sarah, Mary, Rachel, Esther, and Hannah.

NATHANIEL TWOMBLY, or NATHANIEL TWAMBLY, Dover 1658, is only named as bound his land.

RALPH TWOMBLY, or RALPH TWAMBLY, Dover 1656, had wife Elizabeth and children, as by will of 28 February 1685, probated 7 October 1686, we learn, John, Ralph, Joseph, who was born 1661, Mary, Elizabeth, Hope, Sarah, Esther, and William.

RALPH TWOMBLY, or RALPH TWAMBLY, Dover, son of the preceding, had Ralph, perhaps more.

THOMAS TYLEY, or THOMAS TYLEE, Boston, a waterman in 1664, sold estate to Henry Kemble.

ABRAHAM TYLER, Haverhill 1640, married 26 December 12650, Hannah Freeman, had Abraham, born 4 June of unknown year, died at 2 years; Hannah, 16 December 1655, died at 6 years; Abraham, again, 21 May 1659, died at 9 years; and the father died 6 May 1673.

FRANCIS TYLER, Branford 1667, drew a lot there in 1679, and had Abigail, born 1681, but no more is known of him.

GEORGE TYLER, Branford 1674, by wife Hannah, had Isaac, born 1680; Ann, 20 June 1682; Samuel, 25 February 1687; Hannah, 1692; and by second wife Mary, had Elizabeth, 1694; John, 1696; Roger, 1698; Deborah, 1700; and Ebenezer, 1703.

HOPE TYLER, Mendon 1662, probably eldest son of Job Tyler, a freeman 1673, driven by the Indians from Mendon, had at Roxbury, Matthew, baptized 9 April 1676; John, born 19 February 1678; removed to Andover (where Hopestill, perhaps his son, was administered to be a freeman 1691), and there had Joanna, 21 November 1681; and James, 8 December 1683; and, as is said, several more. His wife Mary and two daughters were charged with witchcraft, and imprisoned at Salem, but happily not being tried before the smoke of the bottomless pit that affected a jury much, and judges more, had begun to diperse (even after confession by the wife and one of her daughters overcome by urgent appeals of friends), were aquitted 6 and 7 January 1693. In 1697 he sold his estate at Andover and probably removed.

JOB TYLER, Andover, may have had children before that town was settled, as Hope or Moses, and Dr. Stiles found his name, though I doubt a mistake in his vision, on the roll of administrations at Aquedneck, or Portsmouth, Rhode Island 1639, certainly at Providence was early. A widow Joan Tyler had share in division of lots in 1638, at that point called Tockwotton, and she is named again in 1640. Possibly she was mother of Job, who was born about 1619. By wife Mary, those may have been born to him, as certainly were Mary, about 1643; John, who died 28 September 1652; John, again, born 6 April 1653; and Samuel, 24 May 1655; in 1665 he was at Roxbury, and his wife joined the church 28 May of that year, and next Sunday had John and Samuel baptized there. In 1669 he removed to Mendon, thence driven by the Indians he returned to Roxbury, but before 1681, was in Rowley, the part now Boxford, and next at Andover where another daughter of his wife probably in 1700, he divided his estate to sons.

JOHN TYLER, Bristol, married Sarah Havens, daughter of William Havens, long before 1680, when her father names her in his will. His daughter Tamar married 5 December 1678, Robert Cook of Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

JOHN TYLER, Andover, son of Job Tyler, married 14 September 1682, Hannah Parker, perhaps daughter of Nathan Parker, had Nathan, and perhaps others; was a freeman 1691; removed to Mendon, where was Deacon, and died 4 May 1742.

MOSES TYLER, Rowley, son of Job Tyler, married at Andover, 6 July 1666, Prudence Blake, daughter of George Blake, lived in that part now Boxford, had John, born 14 September 1667, who was a shipmaster, and died 13 January 1756; Moses; Joseph; Ebenezer; Job; Jonathan; Joshua; James, 7 December 1685; and two other sons, 10 in all by this wife who died 19 March 1689; and by a second wife Sarah, had another son and five daughters Joanna, Abigail, Martha, Catharine, and Sarah. Of these sixteen children all but Joseph, and two other sons without names, lived to mature years. He was quarter-master by common title, removed to Andover about 1700, and there died 2 October 1727, aged 85 or 6. His will is in Genealogical Registrar XII. 319. Eight sons, three daughters, and children of two daughters deceased, had shares in his estate either by advancement or testament.

NATHANIEL TYLER, Lynn 1640, by wife Jane, had Joseph, and in October 1652, making his will as he purposed going on a voyage on the ship "N.E. merchant" he willed that his son who lived at Shrewsbury in County Salop, should have 50 pounds.

PETER TYLER, Branford 1668, perhaps brother of Francis Tyler, or George Tyler, or of both, propounded for a freeman 1672, married 20 November 1671, Deborah Swain, daughter of Daniel Swain, had Peter, born 20 January 1673; John, 20 November 1674; Deborah, 15 March 1677; Dorcas, 3 May 1678; Hannah, 10 February 1682; Ebenezer, 9 May 1684; and by second wife Hannah Whitehead, had Patience, 25 September 1689; Joseph, 25 April 1691; and Hannah, 8 May 169 ; but the last figure is uncertain as is the date of his death.

ROGER TYLER, New Haven, had been probably in Massachusetts 1650, and died at New Hampshire where his inventory was given 7 February 1674. Perhaps he had lived at Wallingford, where was another Roger Tyler, probably his son.

SAMUEL TYLER, Mendon, brother of Moses Tyler, by wife Hannah, had two sons Ebenzer and Samuel, three daughters, and died 17 December 1695. His widow administered 9 April following.

THOMAS TYLER, Boston, by wife Hannah, had Samuel, born 1 May 1657; Mary, 10 April 1660.

THOMAS TYLER, Boston, came from Budleigh in County Devon, married Miriam Simpkins, daughter of Pilgrim Simpkins, had Thomas, born 15 August 1685; William, 15 March 1687; Andrew, 1692; John, 1695; and Miriam, 22 February 1698, but his last at Weymouth, where, being a sea-captain, he may have been engaged in building a vessel. His last voyage was in 1703, when he was taken by a Barbary corsair, and no more heard of. Perhaps he was killed at the C. but a family tradition is mentioned that he died at sea. His wife took administration 12 May 1704.

THOMAS TYLER, Derby, son of William Tyler of Milford, died 1704, without family, and his estate went to his brothers William and John, sister Mary Palmer, Elizabeth Palmer, Abigail Rundell, and Hannah Tyler. There is a tradition probably of no value, that this Thomas was lost in the same way, 1695, as his father of course when he was 10 years old.

WILLIAM TYLER, New Haven, took oath of fidelity 7 April 1657, removed to Milford, married Abigail Terrill, daughter of Roger Terrill, had Elizabeth, born 1663; Abigail, 1664; William, 1665; John, 1667; all baptized September 1669; Mary and Thomas, twins baptized February 1670, of which Thomas died soon; Hannah, baptized 1670; Tirzah, 1671, died soon; Ephraim, 1676; and Ruth, 1678. But on the probable record some discrepancy of names is seen, when the inventory is brought in, as the oldest children appears, Mary, 32 years; Elizabeth Palmere, 29; Abigail Rundle, 28; William, 27; John, 25; Sarah (perhaps the twins called Mary), 21; Hannah, 20; and Thomas (who perhaps was first called Ephraim), 18. His son William lived some time at Derby, but removed to Wallingford.

WILLIAM TYLER, Boston, son of Thomas Tyler of the same, married Sarah Royal, daughter of Joseph Royal of the same, had four sons: Thomas Tyler, Harvard College 1730; William Tyler, Harvard College 1733; Royal Tyler, Harvard College 1743; and Joseph; besides daughter Sarah. For this name, of which Farmer found the graduates in 1834, to be ten at Harvard, eight at Yale, and eight at the other New England Colleges. Often is found mistake of Tyley, or even Tilley.

EDWARD TYNG, Boston, merchant, but early wrote himself brewer, came probably with wife Mary Sears, whose family name was Sears, as tradition tells; if so, he had been, I think, here before married her, about 1636, and went home to find a wife. She joined our church 5 September 1640, and he joined 30 January following. Was freeman 2 June following, artillery company 1642, and constable the same year. Representative 1661 and 2, Assistant 1668 to 80 inclusive, and died at Dunstable, 28 December 1681, one account says aged 81, but the credit is less, inasmuch as the same marks the day 28 September as in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 19, and I concur with Farmer MS. who thinks more probably the age 71. By wife Mary, by some thought his second which may be doubted, he had Hannah, born 7 March 1640, baptized 6 September following; Mary, 17 April baptized 2 May 1641, perhaps died young; Jonathan 15, baptized 18 December 1642; Deliverance, 6 August says the town record which is falsified by the church record, baptized 13 July 1645; Rebecca, 23 March, though the trustworthy church record gives baptism 21, 1647, died young; Edward; Rebecca, again, 13 July 1651; William, 3 March 1653, probably died young; Eunice, 8 Mar 1655; and Joseph, 12 July 1657, who died young; Hannah, married 8 May 1661, Habijah Savage, and next Major-General Gookin; Deliverance married Daniel Searle; Rebecca married 1669, Joseph Dudley, afterwards Governor of the Province, and Eunice became 1679, second wife of Samuel Willard, Vice-President of Harvard College. His will of 25 August 1677 with codicil 7 January 1681, takes notice of Eunice as now wife of son Willard, names grandchildren Thomas, Mary, and Hannah Savage, whose father was dead; Tomas, Edward, Joseph, and Paul Dudley; Samuel Searle; and John, son of the preceding, artillery company 1668, married Elizabeth January 1682.

EDWARD TYNG, Boston, son of the preceding, artillery company 1668, married Elizabeth Clark, daughter of Captain Thaddeeus Clark of Falmouth, who was buried as Sewall's Diary notes, 4 July 1690. This gave him great interest in the question of jurisdiction and land titles in Maine. He had Edward, born 1683; Jonathan, died young; Mary; and Elizabeth; was one of the council 1686, 7 not much in favor with Andros; after conquest of Nova Scotia, he was made Governor of Annapolis, and on the voyage to his conlony was taken by the French, and died in France. Administration was had by his brother Jonathan Tyng, April 1701.

JONATHAN TYNG, Dunstable, eldest son of Edward Tyne the first, married Sarah Usher, daughter of Hezekiah Usher, had Francis, born 11 December 1669; Elizabeth, 28 December 1670; Jonathan, 29 January 1672, probably died young; John Tyng, 11 September 1673, Harvard College 1691; Mary, 16 January 1677; but all these, probably born at Boston; and at Dunstable: William, 22 April 1679; Jonathan, again, 29 September 1686; Eleazer Tyne, 30 April 1690, Harvard College 1712; and Barsheba, 5 February 1695. He removed to Woburn, married next, 30 May 1706, Sarah Gibbons, widow of Humphrey Davie, who had been widow of James Richards of Hartford, and daughter of William Gibbons of Hartford; she died 8 February 1714; and for third wife he had Judith Rayner, widow of Reverend Jabez Fox, daughter of John Rayner, who outlived him, and died 5 June 1756 in her 99th year. He was of the Royal Council 1686, and 7, but did not partake in the principle of Andros, was Representative 1692 under the new Charter, and died 19 January 1724.

WILLIAM TYNG, Boston, elder brother of Edward Tyng the first, a merchant of distinction came probably in the Nicholas, of 300 tons, chartered by himself at London, arriving at Boston, 3 July 1638, as Josselyn, who was a passenger tells in his curious volume of Voyages. He joined our church 3 March following, and was freeman 10 days after, was of artillery company 1638, Representative 1639, 40, 1,2,3,4 and 7, Treasurer of the Colony 1640-4; Captain of the Braintree military Company and in latter days lived in that town, was its Representative 1649, 50, and 1; his wife Jane, being his third, who may have been widow of the first Enoch Hunt, died 3 October 1652, and he died 18 January following, leaving larger estate than any in the country of that day. It is by his descendant Reverend William Brattle, said, that "his first wife was Ann Brown, by whom he had two children who died before he married our grandmother Elizabeth daughter of Rowland Coytemore, whose maiden name was Myles, and had a former husband named Gray, by who she had my aunts Nowell and Graves." By Elizabeth, he had Elizabeth, born I doubt not in England 6 February 1638, baptized here, 10 March 1639; Ann, 6, baptized 12 January 1640; Bethia, 17, baptized 23 May 1641; and Mercy, 13 January baptized 5 February 1643. Elizabeth married about 1656, Thomas Brattle; Ann, married 3 November 1656, Thomas Shepard, afterwards minister of Charlestown; Bethia married Richard Wharton; and Mercy, married 1662, Samuel Bradstreet. Six of this name had been graduates In 1832 at Harvard.

JOHN TYSON, Boston, a Quaker, brought in a ship for which he says in his letter to Governor Bellingham, the master was fined £100 "if he send me not away the first opportunity". He wrote from prison 15 June 1667, a very forcible address to the Governor and magistrate, and having through their fears obtained his liberation, wrote again from London, 28 July 1670. Both epistles are appended to Groom's Glass for the people of New England, a very rare tract in the library of my friend Charles Deane.
