[[v]]                         PREFACE.

   SOME explanatory introduction to so copious a work, as the
following, will naturally be required; but it may be short.
In 1829 was published, by John Farmer, a Genealogical
Register of the first settlers of New England. Beside the five
classes of persons prominent, as Governors, Deputy-Governors,
Assistants, ministers in all the Colonies, and representatives in
that of Massachusetts, down to 1692, it embraced graduates of
Harvard College to 1662, members of the Ancient and Honorable 
Artillery Company, as also freemen admitted in Massachusetts, 
alone, to this latter date, with many early inhabitants
of other parts of New England and Long Island from 1620 to
1675. Extensive as was the plan of that volume., the author
had in contemplation, as explained in his preface, calling it "an
introduction to a biographical and genealogical dictionary, "a
more ambitious work, that should comprehend sketches of individuals 
known in the annals of New England, and "a continuation 
of eminent persons to the present time." Much too
vast a project that appeared to me; and the fixing of an absolute 
limit, like 1692 (the era of arrival of the new charter), for
admission of any family stocks, seemed more judicious. I suppose 
nineteen twentieths of the people of these New England
colonies in 1775 were descendants of those found here in 1692,
and probably seven eighths of them were offspring of the settlers
before 1642.
    My scope is wider than that of Farmer, of course, as it
includes every settler, without regard to his rank, or wealth,
since we often find, in the second or third generation, descendants 
of the most humble (thank God we are all equal before the
[[vi]]
law) filling honorable stations and performing important services. 
But far more narrow is my plan than his projected
dictionary, because, in a grandson of the first settler, it excludes
every other incident after his birth. Space for another than is
here given, would have demanded six volumes, while ten
volumes would have been needed for a fifth generation; and
since we now count eight, nine, or even ten generations of offspring 
from not a few of the earlier planters on our shores, fifty
volumes, each as ponderous as the present, might be filled with
details, whereof one tenth would seem ridiculous, one quarter
worthless, and one half wholly uninteresting.
  That New England was first occupied by a civilized people
in so short a period before the great civil war broke out in our
mother country, though half a century and more after its elementary 
principles began to ferment, especially in Parliament,
and almost in every parish of the kingdom, was a very fortunate
event, if it may not be thought a providential arrangement for
the happiness of mankind. Even if our views be restricted to
the lineal origin of those people here, when the long protracted
impolicy of Great Britain drove our fathers into open hostility
and forced them to become a nation in 1776, in that century
and a half from its colonization, a purer Anglo Saxon race
would be seen on this side of the ocean than on the other.
Within forty years a vast influx of Irish, with not a few thousand 
Scotch and Germans has spread over this new country,
but certainly more than four fifths of our people still count their
progenitors among the ante-revolutionary colonists. From long
and careful research I have judged the proportion of the whole
number living here in 1775, that deduce their origin from the
kingdom of England, i.e. the Southern part of Great Britain,
excluding also the principality of Wales, to exceed ninety-eight
in a hundred. Every county, from Northcumberland to Cornwall, 
Kent to Cumberland, sent its contribution of emigrants,
and the sparse population of the narrow shire of Rutland had
more than one offshoot in New England. But, during that
interval, great was the diversity of circumstances between the
old and the new country so far as the increase of their respective
numbers by incoming of strangers was affected. In 1660 the
restoration of Charles II.--in 1685 the expulsion of the two
[[vii]]
hundred thousand Protestants from France, the desired invasion
of William and Mary in 1689, and the settlement of the House
of Hanover in 1714, each brought from the continent an infusion 
upon the original stock, the aggregate of which may not
have been less than five or six per cent. of that into which it
was ingrafted.  Yet hardly more than three in a thousand, for
instance, of Scottish ancestry, almost wholly the migration of
the heroic defenders of Londonderry, that came, as one hundred
and twenty families, in 1718 and 19, could be found in 1775
among dwellers on our soil; a smaller number of the glorious
Huguenot exiles above thirty years longer had been resident
here, and may have been happy enough by natural increase
(though I doubt it) to equal the later band.  If these be also
counted three in a thousand, much fewer, though earlier still,
must be the Dutch that crept in from New York, chiefly to
Connecticut, so that none can believe they reach two in a thousand, 
while something less must be the ratio of Irish.  Germany, 
Italy, Sweden, Spain, Africa and all the rest of the
world, together, did not outnumber the Scotch, or the French
singly.  A more homogeneous stock cannot be seen, I think, in
any so extensive a region, at any time, since that when the ark
of Noah discharged its passengers on Mount Arafat, except in
the few centuries elapsing before the confusion of Babel.
What honorable ancestry the body of New England population
may assert, has often been proclaimed in glowing language;
but the words of William Stoughton, in his Election sermon,
1668, express the sentiment with no less happiness than brevity:
ÒGOD SIFTED A WHOLE NATION THAT HE MIGHT SEND
CHOICE GRAIN INTO THE WILDERNESS.Ó
     By an instinct of our nature, we all love to learn the places
of our birth, and the chief circumstances in the lives of our
progenitors.  More liberal than that is the sentiment by which
our curious spirit desires knowledge of the same concomitants
in the case of great benefactors of mankind; and the hope of
ascertaining to a reasonable extent the early history of John
Harvard was certainly one of the chief inducements of my visit
to England early in 1842.  I would have gladly given five
hundred dollars to get five lines about him in any relation, private 
or public.  Favored as I was, in this wish, by the countenance
[[viii]] and aid of His Excellency, E. Everett, then our minister
at London, no trace could be found, except in his signature to
the rules on taking his degrees at the University, when he is titled
of Middlesex. Perhaps out of such research sprang my resolution 
to prosecute the genealogical pursuits of John Farmer.
  In fulfillment of this great undertaking more than fifteen years
are already bestowed, and near two years longer may be necessary. 
Yet the rule imposed, of admitting upon these pages
only the dates of birth and marriage, and names of children, of
a child born on our side of the ocean to a settler whose tent
was pitched here before May 1692, is severely adhered to, with
the exception only of so distinguished a man as Cotton Mather;
and even this variety may seem forced upon me by Farmer,
who had received him to the copious honors of marriage and
family. Yet, in many cases, will be named great grandchildren
of first comers, and even in a very few, another generation,
making a fifth. Explanation of this apparent deviation from
my own law is easy. When Gov. Bradford and Gov. Winthrop
came here, each brought a son, or sons, and the same is seen of
Gov. Dudley and numberless others. Now each child must be
rated as an emigrant no less than its father, so that John Brad.
ford, John and Adam Winthrop, and Samuel Dudley are
equally entitled as their parents to have their grandchildren
entered in these pages; but William and Joseph Bradford, and
Jaseph Dudley, sons of the Govs. born on our side of the
water, shall not have grandchildren in their respective lines.
  My apparatus for this work will sometimes be found incomplete, 
yet to a great extent, the public records of Colonies,
Counties, and towns, where accessible, have been examined by
myself or friends. Of the first ten folio volumes of our Suffolk
registry of deeds I had an abstract always lying near me, and
these embraced near one third of all the names of New England 
and more than half those in Massachusetts Colony; indeed 
for very many years, after the emigration from Europe
ceased, only two other counties, Essex and Middlesex had been
constituted. lt will be recollected, that large parts of Plymouth, 
New Hampshire, and Maine were occupied by those
who removed from Massachusetts, as was almost the whole of
Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Haven colonies. But
[[ix]]
modern labors of distinguished antiquaries furnish us almost in
full their early records; and more than nine tenths of the names
in these separate communities, I think, must have been acquired
for this work. But even in my native city of Boston three or
four in a thousand may have escaped me, yet probably in the
second or third ages from its foundation.
  For the time of births, marriages, or deaths in each family I
have labored assiduously to be correct, in hundreds of cases
finding wrong dates given, and commonly without hesitation
supplying the true. Where baptism is fixed, by a decent record,
weeks, and even months before the date of birth, no fear of
injuring the town clerk's credit can restrain belief in his
mistake.
But the copious source of vexation is the variety growing out of
the Old and New Styles. In many thousand instances, I have
turned to the perpetual almanac, to be sure that the day of
baptism was truly, or not, recorded for Sunday, since the rite
could, in the first century of New England, be performed only
on that day. By this many printed errors may be corrected.
As children are often seen to be baptized in January or February 
of the same year, by the ancient legal reckoning, that gives
the parents' marriage in April or May, several weeks before, in
our modern reckoning of the months, instead of so many months
after, it is easy enough to put that right by calling those winter
months not the eleventh and twelfth of the old year, as the statute 
absurdity required. Uniformly my chronology begins the
year with 1 January; but to produce harmony between dates
for the month of March is sometimes very difficult. A few
town officers began to change the numerals for the year with
the opening of the month, daring to ask, why the first month
of 1679 should allow 24 of its 31 days to be drilled under
old 1678, while the perverse will of the rulers in fatherland
postponed the new-year's day until the 25th; and some records
may be found, where the year ended in December; but this
monstrous innovation did not begin before 1700, and the startling 
truth made irregular progress up to 1752, when Lord
Macclesfield enlightened the legislature, and Chesterfield charmed
it into consistency.
   No apology would be necessary for filling room with enumeration 
of contributions from many friends other than such as are
[[x]] open to all in printed volumes; but much of what is now
within every one's reach had been furnished in MS. to me, and
still more is from the same hands, in many cases, given first to
the light on my pages. Our town histories are crowding forward, 
and sometimes in less compact space than might be
wished. Windsor, though its History is large, has not equalled
ancient Woodbury in bulk, yet seems to contain all, with three-fold 
of the interest, that might have contented us in the other.
The point of research may occupy long time, and be expressed
at last in brief phrase, so that no comparison can be made
between the result in different parts of the same field of battle
from taking only the numbers engaged in each. One initial
letter in this dictionary required a year and a quarter for its
complete preparation, more than three months were given to
each of several names, like Hall or Williams, and the progress
of a page has often demanded a week. It seemed my duty to
expose every error in our genealogy that has got imbedded in
any reputable book; and the suspicion of any such may lead
to a long train of inquiries before the refutation can be reached.
If my success has been less than my ambition, it has not been
owing to lack of industry, or to hurried operation. Printing of
the first volume began in Dec. 1858, and was prosecuted without 
interruption of a day to this time; while for the next
volume the careful amanuensis has ready for the compositor
two hundred pages, a part of which will be given to the press
to-morrow. For the access of new information that reaches us
almost every month, a constant watch is kept; and life and
health being continued, my contract with the community may
be decently discharged in the autumn of 1861.
  A very extensive catalogue of gentlemen, that might be
graced by one of more than half a dozen ladies, could here be
supplied, were it useful to mention the smaller as well as the
greater contributors to these sheets. To Goodwin, Bond, Harris,
father and son, Kingsley, Abbot, Day, Shattuck, Lunt, and
Kilbourne, of the respectable file who have passed out of
active service, it would not be easy to state the respective proportions 
of indebtedness; nor could I specify the ratio of
benefit derived in my pages from benevolence of the living
Babson, Boltwood, Brayton, Budington, Clapp, Day, Edwards,
[[xi]]
Felt, Field, Herrick, Hoadley, Jackson, Judd, Kelly, King, Kellogg, 
Lincoln, Locke, Otis, Paige, Patterson, Riker, Sargent,
Sewall, Shurtleff, R. D. Smith of Guilford, Staples, Vinton,
Wentworth, Whitmore, Willard, Wyman, and twice as many
more. Not one of the living or dead could complain of my declaration, 
that from the distinguished antiquary of Northampton
the acquisition exceeds that of any other ten contributors.
Early in 1846 I had solicited the benefit of uniting his name
with mine in producing these volumes; but while he shrank
from the responsibility of such unbroken labor, I can offer
several hundred pages of letters to vouch for his sympathy, and
encourage my perseverance.

[[vol. 4, iii]]    CLOSING ADDRESS.

  THE task, that, near twenty years since, was assumed by
me, is now ended; and no regret is felt for the time devoted to
it. Pleasure and duty have been equally combined. In the
result some exultation might be felt, if suceess rewarded diligence, 
and proficiency had always followed patience; but in
parts of so wide a range around genealogy, as this of New England, 
frequent failures ought to be anticipated, since the triumphs 
even within the narrow space traversed, in their long
campaigns, by Bond or Shattuck, Judd or Goodwin, proved
imperfect. Gleaners may find reward in following even their
footsteps.
    For a partial indication of the ample assistance from modern
copious correspondence, a reference to my preface in Vol. I.
may seem sufficient; yet it appears requisite, in this valedictory
obeisance to subscribers, to desire their forgiveness for the awkwardness 
they may discover, that among the ten or twelve
thousand items of improvement in or increase upon the first
text, as herein set forth, not a few hundred additions to additions
with a score or two of corrections for corrections are interspersed. 
Of such materials the History of Watertown has
subjoined 303 pages to its first 672; and parallel to such overflow 
might always be expected in a larger work, though not in
exact proportion to its size. To exhauust the vocabulary of a
civilized nation in a living tongue would appear impossible, for
we all know, that new streams are constantly flowing into it
from sources before unknown; and similar sypplies, by analogy,
in a dictionary to set forth the origin of our families subsisting
one hundred and seventy years ago, may naturally arise. 
[[vol. 4, iv]] 
Unavoidable omissions in these two thousand five hundred closely
marshalled pages ought, therefore, to be expected; but if neither
residence nor time were given, no right to a place for a new
surname on my page would be yielded, though popular opinion
traced the pretender to a Plantagenet, or his veins swelled with
all the blood of all the Howards. Half a million, I presume, of
those incidents may be found in this work. Blanks, not above
two or three in the thousand, I believe, may remain in the myriads 
of names of family or baptism, and, I hope, the erroneous
may only slightly outnumber the deficient.
   Some notes of events and of men have been lost, probably,
though only a single instance, but of half a line, occurs to my
recollection, and this is more cause of sorrow, than surprise,
when I remember how many hundred have been written twice,
thrice, and even four times over. To a few, who consult these
volumes, such vacancies may give no disquiet, as thereby room
was gained for a little general biography or historical criticism
in place of the multitudinous ocean of numerals, or names as
little discriminated as fortemque Gyan, fortemque Cloanthum.
But never was such occasion made, however easily found by
one who will feel pleasant surprise at a rare deviation from
predominant dulness.  I have dared to express, in a very few
instances, my sense of the need of correction in old contemporary 
statements of history, either public or private, and more
gladly to detect the modern adoption of idle traditions that
kept long out of sight, when their small value would not have
saved, the perpetuation of trifing fictions.
  May not some degree of favor be extended to my departure
from the narrow circle of universal genealogy to snatch a few
additional lines or some and sentences for others bearing prominent 
names like Bellingham, Burrows, Chauncey, Clark, Davenport, 
Dudley, Eaton, Endicott, Goffe, Hoar, Hopkins, Hull,
Jackson, Johnson, Leverett, Mather, Osgood, Paddy, Parker,
Phips, Pratt, Rogers, Saltonstall, Scroop, Sherman, Smith,
Temple, Welde, Whalley, Wigglesworth, Williams, Wilson,
and Winthrop.
   The prosecution of this work has continued without interruption 
in this long course of years, except twice, in both cases
from illness, first, short but severe, more than fourteen years
[[vol. 4, v]]
ago, next, lighter and longer, less than four years since; yet
from the time printing of the volumes began, Dec. 1858, no
day has passed without progress, except the legal holidays
By the majority who in careless hours may turn over these
columns, the scrupulous diligence of the printer will justly be
more observed than the research of the author, who should feel
sufficient reward, if his countrymen acknowledgd they have no
further claim to use of his pen after the owner's reaching so
near the age of fourscore.  Still my rejoicing should be rater,
that my service is finished, than that I have no more to do.
   No slight vexation arose from defeat of my utmost vigilance
in gathering the desired additions to this immense array of
names, collected while the volumes have been passing under
the press;  but it was soothed by reflecting how many would
show no regard to the defect, and better still how liberal would
be the allowance of the few that duly weighed the excuse by
making the suffering their own. I desire the reader in

   BY the number of more or less imperfect words, that can be not much less
than three hundred thousand in these volumes, very great saving, of space
was expected. Caution was given me, in the Genealog. Reg. XII. 362 against
the woeful disfiguring that would follow, if the specimen, offered by the
publishers toattract subscribers, were to be taken for a sample. As most
of these curtailments were common however in similar works, I dared to
adhere to the plan, which has not,perhaps, repelled a dozen patrons; and
even enlarged my list by addition of one that would occur about two
thousand limes. The word freeman, or freemen, may be seen, in its new
shape, freem. without offence, I hope, to the taste of any
subscriber.Familiar to all readers must be the short form given to our
names of the months, nine in twelve, only May, June, and July having their
whole beauty; and yet of these nine words the recurrence would probably
show the mutilations on my pages to be fifteen or twenty thousand. Titles
are always permitted even in other books to appear in brief, as Gov. or
Esq. and when rep. may stand for representative, most who turn over a
dictionary of this sort will approve the economy. It may happen that, by
the accident of the printer's type, or my own carelessness, some word may
be abbreviated that had better been printed in full, yet I submit, that
the page will be seldom disfigured by such liberty, and probably the
reader would not change more than once in five hundred examples. Confusion
will not be caused so often as that, I hope; but if a pause be necessary,
we all feel the same thing in turning to an English dictionary for
definition of words only. Nobody reads continuously from page to page,
even in the affluent vocabulary of Johnson; and when a sincere desire to
verify a genealogy, or ascertain a special relationship, is felt, the time
will not be grudgingly reckoned, if a sentence be not printed out in every
word, but with one third or more of those words curtailed. In the
following list every word thus abbrev. may not be found, because the
shortening may by a judicious reader be referred to: class comprising
many, as the adverbial terminations, ly, bly, wanting after casi. and
honora.; or the perfect tense or participles of verbs, ed; or in
substantives, er and ent.; or in either part of speech, ensu. mak. preced.
and tak. without ing or en. For many having, different meanings, as ch.
for child, or children, or church; d. for death, died, or daughter; gr.
for grand, great, grant, or graduate; mo. for mother or month, the one
intended may be trusted to the student's sagacity. 

   But occasions of error in names of men or women I have scrupulously
avoided, so that only one surname can be seen in my pages to be abbrev.
and but a single name of bapt. Eliz. [[about 1696 occurrences in vol. 1,
filled out by RAK for clarity]] can hardly be mistaken, nor will the
lamentation be loud, when a man's name so distinguished as that of the
first Gov. of Mass. is spelled Winth.  [[filled out in vol. 1 by RAK,
about 88 times]]. Geographical designations are forever meeting our eyes
in briefer form than the legal one; and he has poor supply of current
letters that requires to be told what shires in Eng. are meant by Bucks,
Herts, or Notts.

[[from preface to vol. 3]]

  Often I have been desired to explain the marks, as *, and
others, set before the baptismal names in so many instances.
They are exactly copied from Farmer's Register, and seemed
to me appropriate. They are hereunder described.

[[knotted # symbol]] shows, that the man was Governor or President.
[[dagger symbol]]    shows, that he was Deputy Governor.
[[vertical double plus]] shows, that he was an Assistant, or Counsellor.
[[* = asterisk]]         shows, that he was a Representative.
[[|| = double vertical bar]] shows that he belonged  to the Ancient and 
                           Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts.

ens. selectman for many yrs. rep. in the two first Gen. Cts. 1689, after
overthrow of Andros, and d. 12 Nov. 1716. His w. had d. 3 Mar.
1676; but he had sec. w. whose name is not seen. His will of 19 May
1715, pro. 3 Dec. 1716, in our reg. XIX. 225, taking notice that his w.
was provid. for bef. their m. and that his s. Jonathan, and John were,
formerly, supplied by him with lds. and Edward with movab. and money,
directs now, that his prop. be div. in nine equal parts, whereof the childr.

his atty. sold est. at D.  GEORGE, Branford, m. 5 Sept. 1657, Mary
wid. of Lesley Bradfield, I presume, as sec. w. and d. prob. 1675. His
will of 1670 names w. and s. John only, but this s. was by former w. it
may be suppos. for he made his will 10 Oct. 1677, and d. that yr. giv.
his prop. to Noah Rogers and others, hav. no near relat. GEORGE,
Watertown, by w. Frances had John, b. 6 Aug. 1645; George, 1647;

Fiske of Watertown, had George, b. 28 Apr. 1685; Martha, 10 Jan.
1687; John, 2 Sept. 1688; of wh. three the Watertown ch. rec. at
[[10]] 
various times, show the bapt. Nathaniel; Sarah; both bapt. 12 June
1698 at W.; Benjamin, b. 20 Dec. 1701; and Bond thinks there may
have, also, been Abigail, and Ann.  Henry, Braintree, came early to
our country, and tradit. says from Braintree, in Co. Essex in 1632, but
widely diverse is the origin by ano. tradit. had gr. in Feb. 1641, of 40
acres by vote of Boston, of wh. Braintree was part, i. e. the portion
for ten heads.  Perhaps he was the first clk. of the town, after separat.
from Boston, tho. more likely is it that his s. of the same name had the
honor; and he d. or was bur. 8 Oct. 1646, leav. by tradit. eight s. yet
only five are nam. in his will, 1646, pro. 8 June 1647, where appear
Peter, John, Joseph, Edward, Samuel, and d. Ursula.  Of this d. as tradit.
took no notice, it may be that the number eight applied to s. means in
truth ch. seven s. and one d. but names eno. for the s. may be seen, and
certainly one s good, if not two beyond the deviees in the will, as
Henry, Thomas, Jonathan, in some reports call. William.  The inscript. 
on the monu. erect. by his descend, John Adams, sec. Presid. of
the U. S. exhibits the popular story with characterist. strength: ÒIn
mem. of Henry Adams wh. took his flight from the Dragon persecution, 
in Devonsh. Eng. and alighted with eight s, near Mt. Wollaston.
One of the s. ret. to Eng. and, after tak. some time to explore the country,

One only, Joseph, wh. lies here at his left hand, remain, here; wh. was
an orig, prop. in the townsh. of Braintree incorpo. 1639."  HENRY,
Braintree, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. a. 1604 as is thot, may, rather
than his f. be regard. as the town clk. of 1640, m. 17 Nov. 1643, Elizabeth d.
of Moses Paine, had Eleazer, b. 5 Aug. 1644; Jasper, 23 June 1647;
rem. to that part of Dedham, wh. bec. Medfield, of wh. also he was first

1652; Moses, 26 Oct. 1654; Henry, again, 19 Nov. 1657; and Samuel,

and 5, the lieut. k. by the Ind. 21 Feb. 1676, at his own door, as ment.

in his will, beside the two, b. at N. nam. Jacob; Daniel; Abraham, 10
Nov. 1687; John; Ann; Elizabeth 16 Aug. 1692; and Sarah.  Some of
them, however, had perhaps been b. in a neighb. town.  He was rep. for
S. 1711, 14, and 17, in Nov. of wh. last he d. at the Ct. in Boston.
[[11]]
JAMES, Plymouth, s. of John of the same, wh. was of the first comers,
went, 1643, to Marshfield, soon after to Scituate, there m. 16 July 1646,
Frances, d. of William Vassall, had William, b. 16 May 1647; Ann, 18
Apr. 1649; Richard, 19 Apr. 1651, d. soon; Mary, 27 Jan. 1653; and
Margaret, 1654; all bapt. at the sec. ch. of S. Deane says, beside Martha, 
wh. m. 1678, Benjamin Pierce. On board the James of Plymouth
one James, not prob. this man, d. 19 Jan. 1603, of wh. Kenelm Winslow
was made admr. JAMES, Concord, 1672. JEREMY, Braintree, perhaps
1632, rem. soon to Cambridge, then call. Newtown, freem. 6 May 1635,
rem. next yr. to Hartford, had three ws. of wh. the first is unkn. by
name, by her he had Samuel, b. it is said 1643, bapt. certain. 23 Nov.
1645; and perhaps more. His sec. w. Rebecca, wid. of Samuel Greenhill, 
d. 1678, and by her he had other ch. prob. Ann, wh. m. Robert Sanford; 
Elinor, wh. m. Nathaniel Willet; and John, unless one or two were
by former w. Rebecca, wid. of the sec Andrew Warner, and d. of John
Fletcher, was his third w. He long kept the ordinary, and d. 11 Aug.
1683, in his will, made seven days bef. he div. his est. half to childr. of s.
John, and half to those of d. Willet. His wid. was 77 yrs. old at her d.
25 June 1715, and, no doubt, had provis. from the est. JOHN, Plymouth,
one of the first comers, arr. in the Fortune, 9 Nov. 1621, m. Ellen or
Elinor Newton, as the sagacity of Judge Davis presum. for she came in
the Ann, 1623, and was prob. the only fem. N. of Chesapeak Bay with
such bapt. name. He d. 1633, leav. w. and ch. James, John, and Susanna; 
and the rec. 24 Oct. of that yr. shows decent est. for that day.
The wid. m. June foll. Kenelm Winslow. JOHN, Cambridge, brot. from
Eng. w. Ann, and d. Rebecca, bapt. bef. says Mitchell's Reg. when he
adds five of the other ch. bapt. in his ch. in right of the mo. for the f. did
not join bef. 13 May 1666, viz. Mary, b. 25 Oct. 1652; John, 1 May
1655; and Joseph; but the "matchless" registrar does not ment. the
day or days of bapt. tho. our thanks are hearty for his care to name
Hannah, b. 8 Aug. 1657, bapt. 17 June 1660; and Daniel, 14 Sept. 1652.
But Hannah d. early in 1661, 25 Jan. acc. Mitchell, 25 Feb. by Harris
Epit. 169; and Daniel, d. 14 May 1685. Ano. Daniel had preced. him,
but liv. not, I presume, long eno. to be bapt.  He was a millwright, and
Dr. Bond conject. that he was s. of George of Watertown, and when that
was seen to be impossib. he suppos. he was br. So numberless are the
shoots of this name, that I dare not foll. even so judicious a leader in this
expedit. That he was s. of Henry the first, as amiable credulity would
assume, is highly improb. since he came twenty yrs. or little less after that
great N. E. progenitor, and so long outliv. him dying betw. June and Oct.
1706, and his w. still liv. Rebecca m. 24 Nov. 1669, Nathaniel Patten,
and d. 18 Dec. 1677; Mary m. John Eames of Watertown, and d. 1681.
[[12]] 
Inconsistencies appear in the fam. geneal. as to b. of her and her br. John.
JOHN, Chelmsford 1654, had been of Concord 1630, has been sometimes
thot. s. of the first Henry; but the conject. is uncert. JOHN, Marshfield,
s. perhaps, of John of Plymouth, m. 27 Dec. 1654, Jane James, and
had Joseph, Martha, and perhaps other ch. JOHN, Hartford, s. prob.
eldest, of Jeremy of the same, had Rebecca, b. Aug. 1658; Abigail, Feb.
1660; Sarah, Mar. 1662; Jeremy, Aug. 1664; John, Sept. 1666; Jonathan,

in support of such assumpt. than that Edward of M. wh. was a s.
of Henry gave to his eldest s. this name of Jonathan. Scrutiny has been
applied, and Vinton, 296, could find two ws. Elizabeth and Mary, but ment.
no ch. JONATHAN, Boston, blockmaker, of wh. I learn from his will,
made 1 Apr. 1707, pro. 8 May next, that his w. was Rebecca, and that
 [[13]]
he had Samuel, eldest s. beside Jonathan, Nathaniel, and James, and
four ds. Rebecca, Dorcas, Mary, and Lydia. His w. was d. of James
Andrews of Falmouth, driv. up by the war. JONATHAN, Medfield,
eldest s. of Edward of the same, m. 20 Mar. 1678, Mary Ellis, d. prob.
of Thomas of the same; but my acquisit. reach no further. JOSEPH,
Braintree, perhaps youngest s. of the first Henry, b. in Eng. a. 1626, was
a maltster, freem. 1653 or 5, his name appearing on both years, as the
wonderful carelessness of Secr. Rawson admits thirty, if not thirty-one
(if we include Dwight), out of thirty-two of the earlier yr. to be reinsert. 
two yrs. later with the sole addit. of one name at the top and one
at the foot of the list, m. 26 or 29 Nov. 1650, Abigail (not Mary, as
Alden has it), d. of Gregory Baxter (not, as is giv. by Thayer, of John,
wh. was her br.), had Hannah, b. 13 Nov. 1652; Joseph, 24 Dec. 1654;
John, 13 Jan. 1657, or 11 Feb. it being, uncert. wh. date is prefer. on the
rec. (but as he d. in few ds. the earlier may denote b. and the latter, d.)
Abigail, 27 Feb. 1659; John, and Bethia, tw. 3 Dec. 1661; Mary,
9 Oct. 1663, d. soon; Samuel, 6 Sept. 1665; Mary, again, 25 Feb.
1668; Peter, 7 Feb. 1670; Jonathan, 31 Jan. 1672; and Mehitable,
bapt. 24 Nov. 1678, not as sometimes read 23 Nov. wh. was Saturday.
His u. d. 27 Aug. 1692; and he d. 6 Dec. 1694. Thayer's Fam. Memo.
in eleven pages furnish. large enumera. of descend. His eldest d. m.
10 Apr. 1672, Samuel Savil; Abigail m. John Bass jun.; Bethia m.
1680, John Webb; Mary m. 16 Dec. 1686, Samuel Webb; and Mehitable 
m. 21 July 1697, Thomas White. His will, of 18 July 1694, gives
no ment. of s. Samuel or Jonathan, but provides for the others and the
five ds. using the name of hs. for all but the last. JOSEPH, Braintree,
eldest s. of the preced. m. 20 Feb. 1682, Mary Chapin, perhaps d. of
Josiah, had Mary, b. 6 Feb. foll. and Abigail, 17 Feb. 1684. This w. d.
14 June 1687, and he next m. Hannah, d. of John Bass, by wh. he had
Joseph, 1 Jan. 1690, H. C. 1710, min. of Newington from 16 Nov.
1715 to his d. 26 May 1783; John, 8 Feb. 1692, the deac. nh. d. 25
May 1761, and was (by Susanna, d. of Peter Boylston) f. of John, sec.
Presid. of the U. S. b. 19 Oct. 1735, wh. d. 4 July 1826, and was f. of
John Quincy, sixth Presid. of the U. S.; Samuel, 28 Jan. 1694; Josiah,
8 Feb. 1696; Hannah, 21 Feb. 1698; Ruth, 21 Mar. 1700; Bethia,
13 June, 1702; and Ebenezer, 30 Dec. 1704. This w. d. 24 Oct. 1705,
and he d. at the mature age of 81, on 12 Feb. 1736; and his wid. Elizabeth
(by wh. he had Caleb, 26 May 1710, that d. in few days ;) d. 14 Feb.
1739, aged 71. JOSEPH, Cambridge, s. of John of the same, m. 21 Feb.
1688, Margaret, d. of Thomas James, of Sudbury, had Joseph, b. 1689,
wh. liv. to the age of 85; Daniel, 1690; Cherry, if such be a possib.
name in that day, bapt. 31 Jan. 1697; John, 18 Apr. 1637; and Abigail.

MOSES, Sherborn, s. of Henry the sec. m. 15 Apr. 1681, Lydia
d. of Jonathan Whitney of the same, had Benoni, b. 3 Nov. foll., Lydia,
2 Feb. 1684; Elizabeth 18 Sept. 1686, d. young; Hannah, 8 Feb. 1688;
Elizabeth again, 25 Oct. 1689; Moses, 26 Nov. 1691; James, 7 July 1693;
Isaac, 4 Mar. 1695; and Abigail, 7 Sept. 1697; was selectman 1701,
and d. 1724.  NATANIEL, Newport 1639, may be that one of Weymouth 
1642, wh. had Abraham, b. 16 Jan. 1643. NATHANIEL, Boston,
turner, m. 24 Nov. 1652, Elizabeth d. of Philemon Portmort, but whether
she d. soon, and he had ano. w. Sarah is wholly uncert. for one Nathaniel 
of B. d. Oct. 1675, and his w. Sarah d. May 1685. Ano. NATHANIEL,
Boston, blockmaker, if the modern copy of supposed rec. contempo. may
be confided in, as in about nine tenths of its contents it may be, by w.
Mary alone had Nathaniel, b. 10 Sept. 1653; Mary, 20 May 1655;
Sarah, 9 Aug. 1657; David, 30 June 1659; Joseph, 19 June 1661;
Elizabeth 21 Mar. 1662, d. soon; Benjamin, 10 Dec. 1660; Elizabeth again, 2 Oct.
1667; Benjamin, again, 27 May 1671; Isaac, 7 Nov. 1673, and Mary,
again, 23 Sept. 1677. No small part of this may have confirmat. in his
will of 22 Mar. 1690, pro. 8 May next, in wh. his w. Mary, and s. Joseph 
and Isaac are well provid. for, as also d. Mary, wid. of Joseph Hipdich; 
Sarah, w. of Richard Hunnewell, and Elizabeth w. of Ebenezer Chaffin, 
but all subject to the discret. of their mo. and he takes notice that his
s. Nathaniel had not only rec. his share of prop. and more, but owed him
or money lent, and refus. to acknowl. the debt, so that out of his fatherly
regard he can give him but one shil. See rec. in Vol. XL 136. He d.
30 Mar. Perhaps his eldest s. NATHANIEL was a soldier in Philip's war;
of Turner's comp. tho. rather is it more prob. that he liv. at Charleston, m. 
Hannah, d. of Nicholas Wilmot, wh. remembers her in his will of 27 Sept. 
1684. He had Nathaniel, b. 12 Jan. 1681; Daniel, or David, 19 Nov. 1682; 
Nicholas, 8 Oct. 1684, d. soon; Hannah, 3 Oct. 1686, bapt.6 Mar. 1687; 
Ann, 15, bapt. 19 Aug. 1688, d. next mo.; Ann, again, bapt. 2 Aug. 1691, 
d. under 16 yrs.; Wilmot, 21 Aug. 1692; Mar, 29 Aug. 1702, d. under 13
yrs.; Abigail, b. 17, bapt. 21 Apr. 1706, d. under 2 yrs.; Ann, again, 31 Mar.
1708, d. soon; and Ann, again, 2, bapt. 15 Jan. 1710. Of ano. NATHANIEL of
Charlestown, blacksmith, possib. but not prob. s. of Samuel the first, who
m. Ann d. of Nathaniel Coolidge of Watertown, I see so little reason to
believe his claim to adm. on my page with his ch. that he must be left in
his position with Bond 747. PETER, Medfield, s. of Henry the first, b. in
Eng. freem. 1650, by w. Rachel had Peter, b. 20 July 1653, wh. was a
physician at Medway, of wh. I kn. no more; Hannah, 16 Jan. 1657; Mary;

prob. three others. A Peter d. in New Hampsh. 1671. PETER, Braintree,

rep. in Nov. 1637, and Mar. 1638, had Samuel, b. 6 June 1639; beside
ds. Sarah, 3 July 1637; and Ruth, 3 June 1642. RICHARD, Salem,
came in the Abigail 1635, aged 29, was a bricklayer from Northampton,
with Susan, 26, prob. his wife. Perhaps he liv. at Charlestown 1674,
and may be the same wh. d. 6 Oct. of that yr. at Malden, whose w.

eldest s. Joseph; d. Mary, her ch. and childr. d. Sarah Smith, and her
childr. d. Abigail, s. Daniel, and s. in law, John Robbins. But wh. was

7 Apr. 1657, m. 27 Nov. 1667, Rebecca, d. of William Potter, had only

King Charles Il. at N. H. in 1602 may be read on p. 60 of the sec.
Vol. of the rec. of that col. recently pub. and some slight connex. may be
found in the affidavit of Capt. Bredan, made in 1661, showing that the
governm. of N. E."apprehended a gent. not many yrs. ago (suppos. him
to be the K.) resolv. to send him for Eng. had not Sir Henry Moody

Capt. B. gave informat. of having seen the regicides at Boston. Sir H.
Moody was of L. I. See N. Y. Col. Docum. Vol. III. 39. To the
benevolence of C. J. Hoadley of Hartford I am indebt. for this curious,

and George, 26 Dec. 1726; and his w. d. 20 May 1752, says indefatigab.
Hinman, in his new Edit. of 1852. But as he gives the same day for d.
of the w. of Benjamin, the elder br. and the bapt. name of ea. was the
same, without daring to guess wh. of the two is correct, I venture to
doubt, that he fell into a very natural error, not observ. the repetit.
Ephraim d. he says 26 Dec. 1760; and note is not found as to Benjamin.

again, 6 Apr. 1729; Rebecca, 21 Nov. 1730; Jabez, again, 21 Nov.
1731, d. at 20 yrs. was a deac. and d. 1748, aged 70. THOMAS, Hartford, 
perhaps br. of the first Josiah, d. 23 Oct. 1694, leav. ch. Mary, aged
22; Thomas, 21; William, 19; Jane, 16; Sarah, 12; Josiah, 9; and
Benoni, 4. Hinman says, he request. his br. Gabriel, of wh. we kn. no
more, to bring up the youngest boy; and that, in 1709, admin. on est. of
the sec. Thomas was giv. to his br. Josiah. But he tells no more of the
fam. Most of the descend. of the fams. of this name, not all of them,
have chang. the spel. to Atkins.
    ADVERD, or ADFORD, HENRY, Scituate 1640, m. 6 Oct. 1643, Thomasine 
Manson, had s. Experience; ds. Mary, Elizabeth and Sarah; and d. at
Rehoboth 1653. Mary m. 13 Mar. 1671, Abraham Jaquith of Woburn.
    AGER, AGAR, AUGER, EGER, or EAGER, WILLIAM, adm. freem.
18 May 1631. I dare not attempt to indicate how close is the reality of
relationship with those who spell Auger and Hagar.
    AGLIN, WILLIAM, Boston 1676, is not heard of more.
    AGNEW, NINIAN, Kittery 1676, was held in esteem suffic. to be made
apprais. with Capt. John Wincoll, on estates of Roger Plaisted as well as
of Richard Tozer, that yr.
    AINSWORTH, ANCHOR, Boston, had short resid. if any, for, under power
of alienat. of 8 Sept. 1645, his lot of ld. was sold 30 Mar. 1647 by his
attorn. DANIEL, Roxbury 1648, was later of Dedham, d. 13 Nov. 1680;
and Alice, his wid. d. 9 Jan. 1685. EDWARD, Roxbury, perhaps s. of
the preced. m. 11 Jan. 1688, Joanna Hemenway, prob. d. of Joshua of
the same, had Joshua, b. 22 Jan. 1689, d. next day; Hannah, 21 Jan.
1690; Edward, 18 Aug. 1693; Elizabeth 18 Nov. 1695; Daniel, 7 Oct.
1697; Joanna, 31 Dec. 1699, or by other rep. 5 Oct. 1700, both dates
[[20]]      
appear. on the rec. and Judah, 25 Jan. 1703. Possib. the name has degenerat. 
to Ensworth.
    AKERS, THOMAS, Charlestown, had Thomas, Sarah, and Rachel, d.
prob. 1651, leav. wid. Priscilla, wh. m. "old William Knapp," and outliv. 
him. Thomas, the s. had been gone many yrs. to the wars in Ireland, 
as his sis. Rachel testif. 22 Aug. 1659, and had not been heard of
for more than ten yrs.
    ALBEE, or ALBY, BENJAMIN, Braintree 1641, freem. 18 May 1642,
had, unless the rec. be wrong, Hannah, b. 16 Aug. 1641; Lydia, 14 Apr.
1642; rem. to Medfield 1649, there had Benjamin 1653; as it is said; certain. 
Sarah, 11 Mar. 1654; and may have been of Mendon or Swanzey 1669; 
most prob. the former. See Col. Rec. Vol. IV. pt. II. 434. Lydia, m. 30 
Oct. 1658, Alexander Lovell; and  Hannah m. 25 Mar. 1663, Samuel 
Wight of M. In his hist. disc. a. Braintree, Whitney prints this name Alber.
JOHN, Salem 1637, freem. 10 May 1643, d. 1690. He may have the sec.
let. of his name pervert. and possib. was f. of Samuel Abby, or Abbee.
JOHN, Braintree, lost a serv. Francis Brown by d. 1640, and may have
been the freem. of 1670, if Paige's reading of the last name in the MS.
of Vol. IV. 651 be more correct than the governm. print. copy of that
Vol. pt. II. p. 584. JOHN, Rehoboth, had Hannah, b. 10 Oct. 1673.
    ALBESON, or ALLBERSON, JOHN, Yarmouth, perhaps s. of Nicholas,
m. 16 Mar. 1697, Elizabeth Folland, had Jeconia, b. 2 Jan. 1698, d. next
mo. and David, 1 Nov. 1699. NICHOLAS, Scituate 1636, disting. as
"the Swede," had ch. as tradit. goes, wh. he hims. bapt. but Deane found
on rec. nothing relat. to the man, exc. that, in Philip's war, the Ind.
burned his house, 20 May 1676, and the town voted a contrib. towards
rebuild. it.
    ALBOROW, ALBOROUGH, ALBRO, ALDBURY, ALBROE, or ALSBERRIE, 
JOHN, Portsmouth, R. I. 1655, was an Assist. 1671, and one of the
counc. appoint. by K. James Il. for his Gov. Andros, 1687, as Hutch. I.
354 gives the list. Gladly would we learn more of so promin. a man,
ancest. of the Rev. John A. Albro, D. D. of Cambridge, and speak with
confid. if rec. would permit. Very reasona. may be the conject. that he
came, as a youth of 14 yrs. under charge of William Freeborne, in the
Francis from Ipswich, 1634, to Boston. Freeborne was, we kn. of Boston, 
until the sad dissens. a. Mrs. Hutchinson, 1637, when he withdrew
in comp. of so many others with Gov. Coddington to purchase R. I.
What presumption may be drawn, from the mural tablet to Alborough in
the ch. of Stratford on Avon, whither the admir. of Shakespeare annual.
resort, that this R. I. fam. came from Warwicksh. will be various. determin. 
by differ. jurors. Alborow's d. Susanna m. 3 Jan. 1694, John Anthony 
of Portsmouth, as his sec. w.  His w. Dorothy, wh. was a wid.
Potter, and may therefore be thot. a sec. w. d. 19 Feb. 1696 in her 79th
[[21]]
yr. and the rec. show. me, that he d. 14 Dec. 1712, aged 95 yrs. wh. is
a closer agreem. with custom ho. rec. so many yrs. bef. than is often
found.
    ALCOCK, FRANCIS, Newbury, came in the Bevis 1638, aged 26, in
the employm. of Richard Dummer, as the Eng. custom ho. rec. tells;
but that is the sole authority for call. him of Newbury, nor is any more
kn. of him. GEORGE, Roxbury, came in the fleet with Govr. Winthrop
1630, with his u. a sis. of Rev. Thomas Hooker, but leav. only s. at
home, desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. of that yr. and was rec. 18 May foll.
Bef. the gather. of ch. at R. he was deac. at Dorchester, and his w. d.
the first seas. He was a physician, rep. at the first ct. 14 May 1634,
and after, as well as deac. for Roxbury ch. He went home to bring his
s. John, and at the same or foll. visit got sec. w. Elizabeth by wh. he had
Samuel, b. 16 Apr. 1637, H. C. 1659; and at his d. a. 30 Dec. 1640,
the ch. rec. says he "left a good savor behind him, the poor of the ch.
much bewailing his loss." Of his will, made ten days bef. an abstr. may
be read in Geneal. Reg. II. 104. His wid. in Apr. foll. m. Henry Dingham, 
or Dengham, or Dengayne, a surgeon of Watertown.  JOB, York
1666, s. of John of the same, made a lieut. 1677, and a magistr. under
authority of Mass. 1678, and capt. 1681; by creation of William and
Mary, in the new Chart. under adv. of Increase Mather, 1691 made a
counsellor, but was next yr. left out, on the popul. revulsion against his
patron. Hutch. 11. 15, says only, that he was of Maine, yet strange is it,
that both he, and Douglas, I. 486 should falsely spell his name, Alcot, and
stranger still, that Mather should have put that error into his charter,
prob. for the sake of euphony. JOHN, Kittery, adm. freem. of Mass.
1652, prob. rem. to York, had to div. his est. 1675, two s. Joseph, and
Job, five ds. viz. Mary Twisden, w. of Samuel, perhaps, or of John the
sec. Elizabeth Banks w. prob. of Richard; Hannah Snell, w. perhaps, of
George; Sarah Gittings, whose h. is a stranger to me; and Lydia Dummer, 
perhaps a maiden, sole ch. of ano. d. Yet conject. may be wearied
in finding the connect. Joseph, adm. at the same time, was prob. his s.
but Samuel may not have been. JOHN, Roxbury, s. of George of the
same, b. in Eng. early in 1627, H. C. 1646, was a physician, but after
leav. coll. went to Hartford, prob. on call of his uncle Hooker, to teach a
sch. some time. He m. Sarah, d. of Richard Palsgrave of Charlestown, 
had Joanna, wh. d. soon after b. 5 Aug. or Sept. 1649; Ann, and
Sarah, tw. bapt. 26 May 1650; Mary, 15 Aug. 1652; George, 25 Mar.

20 July 1662, wh. d. 24 Nov. 1710. His w. d. 29 Nov. 1665,

he made his will 27 Feb. 1677, pro. 9 Mar. after at Doctors Commons, the Prerog.
Ct. of the archbp. of Canterbury. In it he divides to the five sis. the
est. that came to him from f. and mo. after provid. a liberal mem. for the
Roxbury sch. JOHN, Boston, s. of Thomas of the same, but b. at Dedham, 
m. Constance, d. of Humphrey Mylam, had Mary, b. 3 May 1678;
Mylam, 8 Aug. 1680; Hannah, 5 Nov. 1682; Sarah, 18 Jan. 1685;
Rebecca, 14 Aug. 1687; Elizabeth 3 Apr. 1694; Constant, 17 Jan. 1697;
and Sarah, again, 11 Jan. 1699. JOSEPH, York, eldest s. of John of
that place, was adm. freem. of Mass. 1652, but d. bef. July 1678, when
John Twisden was his admor. and he left a wid. PALSGRAVE, Roxbury,
youngest s. of John of the same, had w. Esther, but no ch. as from his
will, of 24 Nov. 1710, pro. 14 Dec. foll. in wh. he gave all his prop. 
to w. for life, is reasonab. conject. PHILIP, New Haven, perhaps 
s. of Thomas, m. 5 Dec. 1672, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Mitchell, had
John, b. 14 July 1675; Thomas, 1677; Elizabeth 6 Feb. 1679; Philip, 19
Nov. 1681; and perhaps more; had come thither from Wethersfield, it
is said, was a propr. 1685, and m. sec. w. 4 Apr. 1699, Sarah, wid. of
Nathaniel Butler, and d. 1715. SAMUEL, Kittery 1652, then made
freem. of Mass. was of York 1659. SAMUEL, Boston, youngest s. of
George of Roxbury, was a physician, m. 24 Mar. 1668, Sarah, d. of
John Stedrnan, and wid. of John Brackett of Cambridge, had four cb.
ea. of wh. d. at few weeks old, and lie bur. near him. He was freem.
1676, and d. 1677, on 16 Mar. as says the gr. stone, or 17, by Hammond's 
Diary; but the rec has 18. His wid. had third h. Dr. Thomas
Graves of Charlestown, and fourth Hon. John Phillips of the same, and
outliv. him. THOMAS, Boston, br. of George, came, no doubt, in the
fleet with Winthrop for his number in the list of ch. mem. is 46, by w.
Margery had Mary,  bapt. 3 Nov. 1635, d. young; Elizabeth 10 Dec. 1637,
d. soon; rem. to Dedham, there had Elizabeth again, b. 4 Oct. 1638; Sarah,
28 Dec. 1639; Hannah, 20 May 1642; Mary, again, 4 Oct. 1644; Rebecca, 
1646; and ret. to Boston had John, 2, bapt. 6 July 1651 ; perhaps
Philip, intermed. He was freem. 6 May 1635, and d. 14 Sept. 1657.
His wid. m. 16 Nov. 1660, acc. the rec. wh. I think should be 1659,
John Benham; and of the ds. Elizabeth m. 6 May 1656 Joseph Soper, and
Mary m. 27 Sept. 1664, James Robinson of Dorchester. THOMAS,
Hartford.-- See Olcott.
[[23]]
     ALDBURG, John, a youth of 14, came in the Francis, 1634, under
William Freeborne. See Alborow.
     ALDEN, DAVID, Duxbury, s. of John of the Mayflower, was rep. 1689
and 90, after the overthrow of Andros; but Farmer was, I doubt, under
mistake in making him Assist. 1690; and Winsor follow. him. His
w. was Mary, d. of Constant Southworth, by wh. he had Benjamin, Samuel, 
and Alice, beside Ruth. JOHN, Plymouth, passeng. in the first ship 1620,
had not been assoc. at Leyden with the pilgrims, but was hired at Southampton 
as a cooper, with right of staying on this side or return. m. 1623,
Priscilla, d. of William Mullins, wh. as well as his w. d. the first Feb.
after land. We kn. only eight ch. by their names, John, b. perhaps
1623; Joseph, David, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ruth, and Mary; but
in Bradford we find h. and w. liv. in 1650, "and have eleven ch. and
their eldest d. hath five ch." Of these in May 1627, at the div. of cattle, 
only John and Elizabeth are named, so that the other nine were b. later,
but their dates of b. are not heard. He liv. most of his days at Duxbury, 
was rep. 1641, yet had been chos. an Assist. for the Col. 1633, to
Gov. Winslow, and serv. 42 yrs. in that office, to every Gov. after Carver. 
Idly would tradit. attempt to magnify his merit, as the first to jump
upon the rock at Plymouth land. when he was not of the party in the
shallop that discov. the harbor, but contin. on board ship at Cape Cod.
He was the last male surv. of the signers of the compact in that harbor,
Nov. 1620, and d. 12 Sept. 1687, aged 84, or, by other acco. 88. Of the
ds. Elizabeth m. 18 Dec. 1644, William Peabody and d. 3 May 1717, aged
94, says her gr. stone; Sarah m. Alexander Standish; Ruth m. 12 May
(Winsor has it 3 Feb.) 1657, John Bass of Braintree; and Mary m.
Thomas Delano. JOHN, Duxbury, eldest s. of the preced. rem. to Boston, 
where the rec. says, perhaps erroneous. by w. Elizabeth he had Mary, b.
17 Dec. 1659, for that date may be of d. of his u. since 1 Apr. foll.
he m. (I suppose as sec. w.) Elizabeth d. of William Phillips, and wid. of
Abiel Everill, had John, b. 20 Nov. foll. d. soon; Elizabeth 9 May 1662, d.
at 2 mos.; John, again, 12 Mar. 1663; William, 16 Mar. 1664, d. soon;
Elizabeth again, 9 Mar. 1665; William, again, 5 Mar. 1666, d. soon; Zechariah, 
8 Mar. 1667, d. soon; William, again, 10 Sept. 1664; Nathaniel,
1670; Zechariah, again, 18 Feb. 1673, H. C. 1692; Nathan, 17 Oct.
1677; and Sarah, 27 Sept. 1681. In the witchcraft madness of 1692,
he suffer. many weeks imprisonm. as Caleb and Hutch. II. 48, relate, yet
recover. from the popul. persecut. and d. 14 Mar. 1702. His d. Elizabeth m.
John Walley, possib. gr.s. of Rev. Thomas; and next 30 Apr. 1702,
Simon Willard, but this union is not clear to me. As his s. John had w.
Elizabeth it is diffic. from the Boston rec. to tell wh. John and Elizabeth had the
latest b. It might as easily be infer. that the witchcraft belong. to the
[[24]]
s. as the f., and indeed Thayer in his Geneal. makes the younger the suffer. 
in wh. he is foll. by Winsor, contrary to the general import of Calef
and Hutchinson. With them I concur, for the s. was only 29 yrs. old,
and more venerable age is usually found liable to assaults by the great
adversary for such cases. JONATHAN, Duxbury, br. of the preced. m.
10 Dec. 1672, Abigail, d. of Andrew Hallet, had Andrew, Jonathan,
John and Benjamin; but no dates are found for either. The two former,
it is said, went to Lebanon. He was bur. 17 Feb. 1698, aged 70, says
fam. tradit. and his wid. d. 17 Aug. 1725, aged 81. JOSEPH, Duxbury,
br. prob. elder, of the preced. m. Mary, d. of Moses Simmons, rem.
early to Bridgewater, had Isaac; Joseph, b. 1668; John, and, perhaps Elizabeth
and Mary; and d. 8 Feb. 1697. The ds. were m. one bef. and one
after. From the passeng. in the Mayflower are fill. with details of descend. 
28 pages of Thayer's Geneal. and in Collect. of Epitaphs, by Rev.
Timothy Alden, compris. in 5 vols. is seen large proof of filial gratitude.
Of this name eight had been gr. at Harv. in 1834, and two at Yale.
    ALDERMAN, JOHN, Dorchester 1634, Salem 1636, when Jane, prob.
his w. was mem. of the ch. had gr. of ld. at S. 1637, freem. 22 May
1639, d. 1657. See Winthrop I. 144; and Felt, Ann. I. 171. WILLIAM,
Windsor, 1672, soon after at Simsbury, m. 1679, Mary, d. of John Case
of S. had Mary, b. 22 Sept. 1680; Thomas, 11 Jan. 1683; William, 20
Oct. 1686; Sarah, 1692; John, 1695; and Joseph, 1697; and d. at
Farmington, 1697. His wid. m. 30 Mar. 1699, James Hillyer.
    ALDIS, DANIEL, Dedham, s. of deac. John of the same, m. 23 Nor. 1685,
Sarah Paine, perhaps d. of the sec. Moses of Braintree, had Sarah, b.
16 Oct. 1686; Daniel, 2 Dec. 1687, d. at 3 mos.; Ann, 21 Aug. 1692;
Sarah, 27 Aug. 1695. His w. d. 17 Apr. 1711; and he d. 21 Jan. 1717;
and this marks the last appear. of the fam. name on the town rec. His will
made two days bef. names w. Sarah, s. in law William Bacon, d. Ann
w. of Jonathan Onion, and gr.s. William Bacon; and may be seen in
Vol. XX.166. JOHN, Dedham, s. of Nathan, b. in Eng. m. 27 Sept.
1650, Sarah, d. of Philip Eliot of Roxbury, were both adm. of the ch.
29 Dec. foll. had Sarah, b. 9 June 1652, yet not bapt. bef. 12 June 1653;

1659, d. at 2 yrs.; Daniel, 3 Aug. 1661; Nathaniel, again, 6 Mar. 1664,
d. at 19 yrs. and Hannah, 4 July 1666. He was deac. and his w. d. 12
Nov. 1686; and he d. 21 Dec. 1700. Sarah m. 26 Apr. 1675, Gershom
Hubbard; and Mary m. 21 Feb. 1679, Nathaniel Richards. JOHN, Dedham, 
s. of the preced. by w. Mary had Ruth, b. 14 Aug. 1695; and no
more is heard of h. w. or ch. in D. but he had liv. at Wrentham, m.
23 May 1682, Mary Winchester; had Sarah, b. 26 Feb. foll.; Ethan, 11
May 1685; and Hannah, 19 Feb. 1688. NATHAN, Dedham, with w.
 [[25]]
join. the ch. early in 1640 and 1641, respectiv. They had brot. from
Eng. certain. Mary, wh. m. 15 Mar. 1643, Joshua Fisher, and perhaps
other ch. beside John, bef. ment. He was made freem. 13 May 1640,

again, wh. d. 1 Dec. 1651, or 10 Mar. 1602, as the rec. reads;
Jacob, 28 Feb. 1653; and Mattithiab, 10 July 1656. He was one of
the first sett. at Mendon, 1663. GEORGE, Swanzey, 1669.  HENRY,
Dedham, had Mary, b. 19 Mar. 1643, d. soon; Samuel, 10 Mar. 1645;
and perhaps bef. sett. at D. Thomas; was freem. 1645, and d. 23 Feb.
1646. His w. Mary, perhaps mo. of all these ch. m. Samuel Judson,
wh. 7 June 1657 provid. by his will for her two s. and she next m. John
Hayward, and outliv. him. JAMES, Medfield 1664. JOHN, Braintree, 
S. of George, m. 31 Oct. 1678, Sarah, d. of Giles Leach of Bridgewater, 
if there be no error of date, for by w. Sarah he had Joseph, b. 20 Sept. 
1676; and Jacob, 27 Dec. 1677; but that w. d. 25 Feb. foll. as is said. 
Perhaps there were two. JOSEPH, Braintree, perhaps br. of the preced. 
m. 26 Feb. 1662, Patience Osborne of Weymouth, perhaps d. of John, 
had Joseph, b. 14 July 1663; and Sarah, 27 Oct. 1677. ROBERT, Braintree, 
perhaps m. 25 Dec. 1656. THOMAS, Dedham, s. perhaps of Henry, m. 
4 May 1675, Elizabeth d. of the brave Capt. Thomas Prentice, wh. d. 5 Feb. 
foll. and he m. 16 Jan. 1678, Hannah, d. of Nathaniel Colburn, had Hannah, 
17 Dec. 1679; John, 8 May 1681; Mary, 5 Aug. 1683; and Thomas, 17
Apr. 1685; was freem. 1677, and d. 23 Oct. 1694. With spell. of Aldrich 
four had been in 1829, gr. at Brown Univ. and none at Harv. or
Yale. Perhaps this name bee. Eldridge sometimes.
    ALEWORTH, FRANCIS, Dorchester, freem. 18 May 1631, went home
the foll. yr. tho. he had been by the Court of Assist. in July, chos. lieut.
of the comp. Ano. man with this surname, at the Court in Mar. 1631,

is  Susanna alone, not as print. "Su Sage;" and beside the date of the

is said, of Matthew Collins. ARTHUR, Scarborough, br. of the first
Andrew, perhaps elder, perhaps was f. of that Arthur, jr. wh. own. alleg.
to Mass. 1658; was constable 1658, rep. to Boston, 1671, when the Secretary 
makes his name Angurs, and 1672, when he cuts off the final

name is variously writ. the sec. letter often being U, agreeing with the
sound, and when it is n, looking doubtful, whether Anger, or Angier, as
by the scrupulous Paige in Geneal. Reg. III. 193, or Angur, as by the

Editor of Mass. Col. Rec. IV. pt. I. page 358. THOMAS, Taunton, 1665,

have been that Edward of Boston, a tailor, wh. m. 7 May 1652, Martha
Way, had Sarah, b. 22 Aug. 1653; and John, 8 June 1657. EDWARD,

inquiry I can learn no more of him. ELEAZER, emb. 27 May 1679 in
the Prudence and Mary, to come to Boston from Eng. but his visit may
have been only a trans. one, or he may have gone beyond the bounds of

still occup. GEORGE, Sandwich 1643, perhaps s. of the preced. b. in
Eng. then in the list of those able to bear arms; may have been of Newport 
1639, and at S. had (by w. Hannah) Caleb, b. 24 June 1646, or by

Dec. 1646; Rachel, or Ruth, 3 Oct. 1648; Susanna, 11 May 1652; and
Elnathan, 26 Dec. 1653; but of his identity some doubt may be felt, for
in the list of freem. 1645 is a George, who prob. was not of Boston.
GIDEON, Swanzey 1669, rem. to Boston during Philip's war, and after it

Joseph, 24 June 1652; besides James, Nathaniel, William, and Benjamin, 
prob. bef. and after the last ment. He d. 27 Sept. 1673. Some
reason is perceiv. for holding this man to be br. of Rev. John Allin of
Dedham. JAMES, Boston, one of the eject. min. was s. of a min. in
Hampsh. and b. 24 June 1632, as is told, ent. of Magdalen Hall, 16

and Sarah, 11 Sept. 1679, wh. d. at 3 yrs. After some yrs. preach. there,
he was sett. in the midst of gr. disquiet, at the first ch. on the same day,
with Davenport (9 Dec. 1668), in vindicat. of those charact. he was long
a strenuous oppon. of the third, or O. S. ch. that sprang, out of the unhappy
circumst. by wh. he was brot. from New Haven. His last w. d. 25 Nov.
1705, and he d. 22 Sept. 1710. Dunton says, his s. James was a min. in
England d. at Northampton, but perhaps he is wrong, for he was young,
and our Coll. Catal. never gave him the Italics, tho. it marks him as Socius.
See 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. II. 101 and 3 M. H. C. VIII. 250. Both of the
Biogr. Dict. Eliot, briefly, and Allen, more at large, explain the difficult.
of his course. JAMES, Sandwhich, perhaps s. of George the first, had
Amey, b. 22 Dec. 1665; and Abigail, 28 Sept. 1667, and prob. sev. others, 
yet it may be that some were b. after rem. to Tisbury, had w. Elizabeth

s. of William the first of the same. took o. of alleg. 2 Dec. 1677, m.
1686, Ann, prob. d. of Thomas Bradbury. JOHN, Plymouth 1633, was
perhaps of Scituate, 1646, there d. 1662, prob. Sept. as his inv. bears
date 25 of that mo. leav. wid. Ann and s. John; but his nuncup. will,
made two days bef. his d. in wh. one ho. is giv. to Josiah Litchfield (then
a youth) in wh. the testator liv. and ano. to his w. was not pro. until 2
June of next yr. and that would now-a-days seem a dangerous delay.
See Geneal. Reg. VI. 94. JOHN, Dorchester 1632, kept an inn, and
was punish. for drunkenness of those to wh. that yr. he sold.  JOHN,
Charleston, came, perhaps, in the Abigail, 1635, aged 30, with w. Ann,
