1630, a butcher, came in the fleet with Winthrop prob. for his name 
stands on the list of Boston ch. next after John Winthrop jr. wh. came,
however, in 1631; and he was of the 35 earliest mem. of the ch. of

Perhaps he had been driv. away from some frontier settlem. in the Ind. 
war, and went back. Yet in the great fire of Mar. 1760, one of the

      DAND, JOHN, Boston 1641, clk. in the prothonotary's office (but I hear
not where), gave much trouble by join. others in petit. for enlargem. of
privilege 1645.  Winslow describes him as liv. in ano. man's house at board
hire. He was not a freeholder.  See our Gen. Court's Declarat. in Hutch. con.
211, one of the most curious papers in that invalua. collect. We might presume,
on his ill-success in Mass., that he went home, but Farmer says he was of
Dover 1654. Winthrop II. 262, 92-5.  The learned auth. of "Gens Sylvestrina,"
one of the most agreeable books of genealogy ever print. says, the Dands were
"the most considerable fam. in the sixteenth cent. at Mansfield in
Nottinghamsh."  Yet they were mercers, as he tells.
      DANDY, WILLIAM, Charlestown, prob. call. Davy in Frothingham, 181, was
in 1680 one of the tythingmen of the town. See Dady.
      DANE, DANIEL, Andover, s. prob. of Rev. Francis, by w. Deliverance
[[6]]
had Nathaniel, b. 26 Mar. 1684. But he had liv. at Concord, was one of the
tythingmen there 1680.  FRANCIS, Andover, s. of John of Roxbury, b. in Eng.
was of Ipswich 1648, and soon after ord. sec. min.  of A. was brot. by his f.
1636, it is said, in the same ship with Nathaniel Rogers, wh. was half a yr.
on her passage from London to Boston; by w. Elizabeth d of Edmund Ingalls, m. bef. he went 
to A. wh. d. 9 June 1676, were all his ch. prob. b. but we have not their names or dates,
with exactness; yet two, Nathaniel, and Elizabeth were b. perhaps bef. his ordin.
Besides these, he had, also, Albert, and two nam. Francis, wh. all d. young;
Hannah, wh. m. 14 Nov. 1666, William Goodhue; Phebe m. 30 May 1671, Joseph
Robinson; Abigail m. 12 Oct. 1675, Francis Faulkner; and Francis, again.  He
m. sec. w. 22 Nov. 1677, Mary Thomas, wh. d. 18 Feb. 1689; and, third, Hannah,
wid. of George Abbot, wh. surv. to June  1711. He d. 17 Feb. 1697, aet. 82. He
was in danger from the cruel infatua. of 1692, when others of high rank fled
from the suspicion of witchcraft, and of his humbler neighb. sheep of his
fold, innocent of the nonsense as hims. not a few suffer. Hutch. Il. 38.
FRANCIS, Andover, s. of the preced. m. 16 Nov. 1681, Hannah Poor, freem. 1691,
d. 1738, aet. 81, leav. Francis, John, Joseph, and Daniel. JOHN, Roxbury, from
Co. Essex, Eng. came 1636, bring. ch. of a dec. w. Francis, Elizabeth and  John;
was perhaps the freem. of 2 June 1641, m. 2 July 1643, Ann, or Hannah, or
Annis, wid. of William Chandler, and d. says town rec. bur. says the ch. rec.
14 Sept. 1658. His will, of a week preced. pro. 16  Oct. names only those ch.
of wh. he calls Elizabeth Howe, perhaps w. of the sec. Abraham of Roxbury.
Perhaps he had rem. a short time to Ipswich, and came back to R.  His wid. had
third h. John Parmenter of Sudbury, and d. 15 Mar. 1683. JOHN, Ipswich, s. of
the preced. b. in Eng. at Colchester 1613, perhaps came to Roxbury 1636, with
his f. freem. 2 June 1641, unless that name in the rec. of the Col. apply to
his  f. and he be freem. of 1682, was a surgeon, d. 29th Sept. 1684, leav.
good est. for that day; had Mary b. 1639, wh. m. 24 Aug. 1658, William
Chandler of Andover, wh. was s. of her gr.f.'s sec. w. His will names w. two
s. John, and Philemon, ds. Elizabeth and Sarah, gr.ch. Mary Chandler, and Daniel
Hovey.  In the close investigat. of recent days it is found, that Elizabeth m.
Reginald Foster; Sarah m. 23 Sept. 1668, Daniel Warner; and a d. Rebecca m.
James Hovey, wh. perhaps was the man k. by the Ind. at Brookfield, 2 Aug.
1675.  The deficiency of Ipswich rec. leaves all else unkn. but he was ancest.
of Hon. Nathan, H. C. 1778, LL. D. of Beverly, disting. in jurisprud. and of
Hon. Joseph, H. C. 1799, of Maine. NATHANIEL, Andover, s. of Rev. Francis, 
m. 12 Dec. 1672, Deliverance, d. of Robert Hazeltine, had Nathaniel, d. 16 Oct.
1674;  and Francis, d. 3 Nov. 1679; prob. others; and d. 1725, aet. 80.
His wife was imprison. on charge of witchcr, 1692; and when innocence 
would not avail, sav. her life by false confession of guilt. On either plea,
guilty or not, the father of lies was sure to triumph.  PHILEMON, 
Ipswich, s. of sec. John, freem. 1674, was a physician, m. 7
[[7]]
Oct. 1685, Mary Thompson; and 25 Dec. 1690, took sec. w. Ruth, d. of James
Converse of Woburn, and d. 18 Oct. 1716. Of his ch. Mary; Philemon, b. 1693,
d. next yr.; Philemon, again, and Edward, tw. 17 July 1695; and Ruth, 24 Aug.
1698; no doubt of the mo. can be felt, unless the first may have been by
former w.  THOMAS, Concord, had, I suppose, by w. Elizabeth a d. b. 24 Feb. 1643,
and certain. by her had Hannah, 18 Mar. 1645, if this be the real name of him

Woburn, had Martha, b. 17 Aug. 1671; William, 5 July 1673; Samuel, 26 July
1675; John, 25 June 1677; Sarah, in 1687, by w. Martha Great difficulty occurs
in turning over rec. by frequent substitution of Dean, or Deane, or Daine, for
Dane, and the reverse.

1729; and (beside Mehitable, whose gr.stone tells, that she d. 1 May 1727, in

me; exc. Ann, wh. m. 22 Jam 1690, Oliver Whiting; but of six s. only two,
Jonathan, b. 1659, freem. 1690, and Samuel, 1666, left issue.  He was,
perhaps, freem. 1652, the first capt. of B. rep. 1684, disting. as surveyor of
ld. town clk. 20 yrs. and d. 7 Sept. 1712, leav. wid. his sec. w. JONATHAN,

error as to the coming of this famous divine.  On p. lxxxv. he says: "When the

but where he  sat down I find not. See Geneal. Reg. IX. 268. NATHANIEL,
Charlestown 1677, s. of Barnaby, had m. 31 Mar. 1675, Mary Convers, wh. d. 6 Nov. 
1690,  aged 36; and m. 15 July 1692, Mary, d. of Joshua Edmunds, wh. d. 18 Apr. 1721, 
aged 65. Nathaniel,  his eldest ch. bapt. 19 Apr. 1677, d. at Charlestown the same yr. He  
had, also, Mary, bapt. 9 May 1680; Barnabas, 31 Dec. 1681; Sarah, 22  July 1683; 
Zachary, 5 Aug. 1688; and Mary, 16 July 1695; and was one of the constables 1690. 
NICHOLAS, Charlestown, came in the  Planter early in 1635, aged 40, with Sarah, 48,
prob. his w. and Joseph,  13, perhaps his s. with four serv. whose names are
then giv. was in 1640  one of the promoters of sett. of Woburn, where his w.
Sarah d. 24 May  1643,and he m. 12 July foll. Elizabeth wid. of Joseph Isaacs;
prob. he rem. to York, and was there in 1652. His will, of 27 Apr. 1667, pro.
12 Mar. 1670, refers not to any s. yet opens many remote relations, or perhaps
those of his w. as cous. Barnard, the w. of Matthew of Boston; cous.  William
Locke of Woburn (spel. Owborne); d. Astine's (or Austin's) childr. Mary and
Sarah, beside Mary, Elizabeth and Mehitable Dodd.  NICHOLAS, Barnstable, able to
bear arms 1643, when he is last on the list, so that possib. it may be an
error, as Hamblen puts him into a list of  inhabs. adm. after 1660. He may
have been of Newport 1638, and there learn. the strange policy of toleration
in relig. In Sewel, I. 388,  it is said he favor. the Quakers at their first
coming. He had w. Mary, and was banish. from Mass. for his peaceful pravity.
At Newport he was drown. bef. 24 July 1672, as Roger Williams in his big book
against the Quakers, p. 26, tells that in his public conference, there, with
the friends of George Fox, he made good use of the event. PHILIP, Plymouth
1638, rem. to Duxbury after. Farmer MS. PHILIP, Hartford, came, perhaps, in
the Confidence from Southampton 1638, aged 12; but if so, be prob. was first
at Newbury, where William Ilsley, with wh. he  came, pitched his tent. He m. a
d. of Thomas Coleman of Hadley, was freem. of Conn. 1656, and d. 1689, had two
ds. but no s. RICHARD, Ipswich 1642. RICHARD, Roxbury, m. a 1654, Sarah, d. of
John Burrill, had Richard, b. 5 Jan. 1658, wh. d. next yr.; Richard, again, 26
May 1661; and Sarah; and he d. 6 Mar. 1663, his will of 20 Feb.
[[21]]
being pro. 19 Mar. of that yr. But there was a posthum. ch. and the wid. m.
Samuel Chandler in 1664, and d. in Aug. 1665. ROBERT, Sudbury, came in 1638,
aged 30 with Margaret perhaps his sis. 26 (wh. m. a Burnett), in the
Confidence of Southampton, as serv. of Peter Noyes, had w. Bridget wh. surv.
ds. Sarah, b. 10 Apr. 1646; and Rebecca; and d. 19 July 1655. His will is of
17 July and pro. 2 Oct. of that yr. ROBERT, Yarmouth 1643, or earlier, had
Deborah, b. Jan. 1646; Mary, 28 May 1648; Andrew, May 1650; John, 1 Mar. 1652;
Robert, Aug. 1654; Josiah, Sep. 1656; Hannah, Sept. 1658; Sarah, Oct. 1660;
and Tristram. Perhaps Sarah m. 23 Oct. 1679, Joseph Young. SAMUEL, Watertown,
rem. early in 1646 to Boston, had w. Ann wh. a. soon; and m. 20 July 1651,
Sarah, d. of Richard Thayer of B. had Samuel, b. 22 Mar. 1654; William, 4 Sept. 1656, d. 
next yr.; and Sarah, 19 Dec. 1657, wh. d. Aug. foll.; beside Zechariah, 29 July 1659.
But in Geneal. Reg. XV. 133, his surname is wild. turn to Doves. Prob. he is the freem. 
of 1645, and perhaps br. of George. It may be, that his wid. m. 6 May 1663,
Jonathan Hayward. SAMUEL, Groton, by w. Mary had a d. b. 31 Jan. 1662; John,
10 Mar. 1664; Sarah, 12 Aug. 1667 ; Samuel, 10 Jan. 1669, Barnabas, 17 Apr.
1672 ; and a d. 10 Apr. 1674; and d. 28 Dec. 1699. SAMUEL, Salisbury, m. 19
Dec. 1663, Deborah, d. of William Barnes, had Samuel, b. 26 Jan. 1667. Perhaps
he was of Amesbury, there took o. of alleg. 20 Dec. 1677. SAMUEL, Concord, s.
of Dolor, m. 11 Jan. 1665, Mary Mead had Mary, b. 27 Sept. 1666; Samuel, 21
June 1669; Daniel, 26 Mar. 1673; Eliezer, Stephen; and Simon, 9 Aug. 1683. I
presume this is the man, by Felt insert. as of Lynn, m. 11 Jan. 1666, Mary
Meddowes.  Geneal Reg. V. 96. SAMUEL, Roxbury, perhaps s. of William of the
same, rem. to Northampton 1668, was freem. 1676, had two ws. of wh. sec. was
Elizabeth d. of William Smead, m. 1681; and he d. 26 July 1690, leav. beside three

mariner, had w. Deborah, wh. d. early, and he m. 1677, Elizabeth wid. of brave
Nathaniel Davenport, d. of Rev. Thomas Thacher.  SAMUEL, Charlestown, had
serv. under Capt. Turner, 1676, in Philip's war, but as early as 22 Nov. 1658
by w. Mary had Elizabeth * SIMON, Concord, s. of Dolor, m. 12 Dec. 1660, Mary, d.

the Chart. of William and Mary 1691; wrote an acco. of the conduct of the

his quarter of Casco lds. to 3 ds. of James English, ea. of them paying £3. to

kindness" to D.'s w. Willis, I. 161, 209. THEOPHILUS, Saco, constable in 1636.

sawyer, from Marlborough in Co. Wilts, came in the James 1635, embark. at
Southampton in Apr. arr. at Boston 3 June, freem. 2 June 1641, rem. next yr.
to Haverhill, where he had s. Joseph, and d. 1683, aged 80. He brot. says
Coffin, w. Christian from Eng. and his posterity is num. This name among the
passeng. from Southampton in the James, by rec. at State Paper off. Somerby
read Thomas James. It seems a wild error of his or mine; but if my read. be
correct, his surname may be that of the ship. THOMAS, Saco, an early sett.
assessed towards pub. worship 1636. THOMAS, Boston, s. of William, m. 12 Sept.
1689, Hannah Allen (wid. of one whom no research of mine, or even of
Shurtleff, can identify), d. of Gov. Leverett, had Thomas, the Secr. of the
Prov. of New Hamp. 1692. The late, beloved, John Davis, editor of Morton's
Memo. Presid. of the Mass. Hist. Soc. above forty yrs. judge of the Distr.
Court of the U. S. was not, in male line, of N. E. ancestry, but was s. of
Thomas, wh. was b. 1722 at Albany, whither his f. had rem. from N. Carolina. *
TOBIAS, Roxbury, br. of Richard of the same, m. Sarah, d. of Isaac Morrill,
had Sarah, b. 10 Feb. 1647, and his w. d. 23 Jan. by ch. rec. but 15 Feb. says
the town, 1649. He m. 13 Dec. next, Bridget Kinsman, had John, b. 17 Apr.

Abigail, in town rec. said to be b. 6 Sept. 1671; was of ar. co. 1666, and d.
25 Apr. 1690. TOBIAS, Dover, freem. 1666. TRISTRAM, Scituate, s. of Robert of
Yarmouth, m. 1694, perhaps for sec. w. Sarah Archer of Braintree, had Elizabeth b.
1695, and rem. as Deane thinks, but yet supposes Hannah D. wh. m. there 1709

soon; and Thomas, again, 8, bapt. 7 Sept. 1645. The Book of possessions in
early days shows W. sen. and W. jr. in Boston, but wh. was f. of these ch. is
to be determin. I fear, only by conject. One was a gunsmith, and one was d. 10
Nov. 1655, when Isaac Collamore gave in the inv. of his est. only £7. His wid.
Mary soon m. John Cowdall WILLIAM, New Haven 1639, had John, H. C. 1651, the

Russell, and to educate his s. Noadiah, the gr.mo. left £60. WILLIAM, Salem
1639, had that yr. gr. of ld. prob. rem. to Boston or elsewhere, may be the
mariner, wh. at B. made his will 14 Sept. 1655, as in Geneal. Reg. V. 298,
and Ib. IX. 141. * WILLIAM, Boston, apothecary, adm. of the ch. 28 July 1644,
in wh. yr. he m. Margaret, d. of William Pynchon of Springfield, perhaps a
sec. w. By her he had sev. ch. of wh. Thomas, b. 3 Sept. 1645, may have been
one; also, Benjamin; Elizabeth; Ephraim, wh. d. 2 Aug. 1652; and William, the

Rev. Zechariah Symmes, had Mary, b. 3 Dec. 1656; Rebecca, 3 Aug. 1658; Huldah,
21 Dec. 1659; Ruth, 12 Feb. 1662; John, 10 June 1663; and Deborah, 13 Apr.
1665, d. young; by ano. w. Judith, had Margaret, 13 Nov. 1667; and perhaps
Hannah. He had still ano. w. Sarah, and hope of progeny by her when he made
his will, in wh. all of these ch. exc. Deborah, are ment. He was a man of
wealth, enterprise, and discretion, ar. co. 1643, freem. 1645, a capt. rep.
for Springfield 1652, where prob. he liv. some few yrs. also for Haverhill
1668, was employ. as commander of a troop in Ninigret's troubles, joint
commiss. in 1653 with Leverett to the Dutch Gov. at N. York, and one of the

prob. br. of Tobias, freem. 1673, had John, b. 1 Oct. 1643; Samuel, 21 Feb.
1645; Joseph, whose date, presumed, is 12 Oct. 1649. His w. Elizabeth d. or was
bur. 4 Mar 1658; and he m. 21 Oct. next Alice Thorp, wh. had William and Elizabeth
bapt. 14 June 1663; but perhaps they were not liv. when this sec. w. d. 1667,
prob. soon after b. of Jonathan, 28 Feb. of that yr. He had, also, Matthew,
but I kn. not the day of his b. or whether he were not by a third w. made
Extrix. but not nam. in his will of 6 Dec 1683, in wh. he ment. all these ch.
and that Matthew and Jonathan are under age. He d. 9 Dec 1683, aged 66.
WILLIAM, Boston, by w. Mary, d. of Nicholas Parker, had Joanna, b. 16 Aug.
1655; and I presume, that the same man by w. Susanna had Joanna, b. 26 July
1657, sold his est. in 1658, and went to Barbados. WILLIAM, Marblehead, a
petitnr. 1668 against imposts. WILLIAM, Roxbury, perhaps a of William the
first of Boston, had Mary, b. 28 Mar. 1669; Ann, 24 Dec. 1670; next rec. of
1672 gives him Benjamin, 31 May, and Rachel, 26 Aug. but wh. rec. of the two
is false is uncert.; perhaps the yr. 1674 is omit. for the latter ch Ichabod,
1 Apr. 1676; Ebenezer, 9 Apr. 1678; William, 3 Jan. 1680; Sarah, 20 July 1681;

1706. WILLIAM, Boston, mariner, in his will 31 Oct. 1690, not pro. bef. 5 Aug.

Feb. 1681, Judith Brown, had Judith, b. 7 Sept. 1684, d. at 18 yrs.; and Elizabeth
26 Apr. 1687. In many instances, some of the above nam. are spelled Davies, as
well as Davis; and the utmost care, in arranging relationsh. betw. parties
with a name so wide. diffus. will sometimes be at fault. "A courageous
soldier," is the designat. of a serj. D. in the Pequot war 1637; but wh. can
individualize him? There came in the Elizabeth 1635, from London to Boston,
Margaret Davis, aged 32, with her ch. John, 9; Mary, 4; and Elizabeth 1; the w.
and fam. no doubt a Dolor wh. had come a yr. or two bef. Twenty of
this name had in 1834 been gr. at Harv. and as many more at the other N. E.
coll.

Charlestown, was a merch. in 1676, by w. Abigail had Abigail, bapt. 13 Feb. of

Stonington. * NICHOLAS, Charlestown 1639, one of the chief men, agent of Gov.
Cradock, by w. Joanna Hodges had Daniel and Sarah, wh. m. 24 Mar. 1665, Joseph
Lynde, ar. co. 1648, went home 1635, prob. on business, and came back 1656, in

of Nahant.  His inv. incl. land in Boston, Charlestown, Pemaquid, and a. 2100
acres near Windsor on both sides of the Conn. was £1869.11.11. PETER,

Mar. 1655; Mary, 12 Apr. 1657; and Samuel, 1 May 1660. WILLIAM, Braintree,

86, says the rec. I think he had, also, Hannah, 7 Jan. 1660; but the rec. gives her to John

imposts. He was s. of Thomas, and m. 6 July of that yr. Ann Coleman, had Ann,
b. 18 Oct. 1669; John, 24 Jan. 1671; and Stephen, 16 Oct. 1673. This John d. June

Leach, wh. d. 9 Feb. 1726, aged 63; was a witness to spectral delusions in July 1692, as

Harris, Epit. says the town rec. mark. his bur. on  the same day. That docum.
wh. is in Geneal. Reg. III. 181, leads us to infer that he had no w. or ch.
tho. little ch. Moses is nam. that was prob. his br. but Mr. Paige gives strong
sanction to the opin. that he was s. of William Bordman, wh. m. a niece of Day. He gave 
liberally to the coll. £4. to Elder Frost, and something to sev. others, yet most to his mo.

of Northampton. ROBERT, Ipswich, came in the Hopewell, Capt. Bundocke, 1635,
from London, aged 30, freem. 2 June 1641, was liv. in 1681. Perhaps Sarah, uh.
m. at I. 17 June 1674, David Fiske was his d. Hannah, wh. came in the

Cambridge, the earliest printer on our side of the ocean, was a locksmith of
Cambridge, Eng. brot. over, in the John, 1638, by Rev. Josse Glover wh. d. on
the voyage. He began business in Mar. 1639, but was, I fear, unthrifty, for in
1647 the Almanac of his press purports to come from his s. wh. was very young,
and the yr. foll. Greene bec. ruler in the office. Yet he was enterprising,
hav. for his great service, unluckily, been reward. by grant of 300 acres in
1641, he was 2 yrs. after engag. in sett. of Lancaster, and reduc. to work as
journeyman of Greene all his latter days. He brot. from Eng. w. Rebecca wh.
had been wid. mo. of William Boardman, had Matthew, bef. ment. and prob. after
com. hither had Stephen, wh. d. 1 Dec. 1639, and possib. but not prob. Moses. His w. d. 
27 Oct. 1659, he was adm. of the ch. 28 Feb. 1661, but was never freem. and d. 22 Dec.
1668, aet. 58. A catal. of books of his print. is giv. by Thomas in his Hist.

1659, Sarah, d. of Lieut. Thomas Cooper, had Thomas, b. 23 Mar. says the town

Sept. 1677; Jonathan, 8 Aug. 1680; and Abigail. Eight of these ch. liv. to m.

Thomas, b. 27 May 1675; Mary, Dec. 1677; and Joseph, 24 Jan. 1680. His w. and d. 
were k. by lightning in his ho. 15 July 1706; and he d. 29 Jan. 1726. An earlier 
THOMAS, whose inv. was found by Coffin 1670, was perhaps f. of the preced. b. a. 
1651, and of Sarah, a. 1652, may have been of Salem, a signer of memor.  1668,
against imposts,
[[28]]
was f. of John, ano. signer; and by w. Mary had Abigail, b. 22. Dec. 1667.  TIMOTHY,

d. 8 Apr. 1723, aged 70, had Timothy, Anthony, John, Joseph, Jonathan, Ebenezer, and
Susanna, beside some wh. d. inf. as Babson tells. WENTWORTH, Boston 1640, has 
prefix of respect on adm. to the ch. 22 Sept. but call.a single man; soon after m. 
had Elizabeth bapt. 26 Sept. 1641, at 8 days old; and Wentworth, 13 Aug. 1643, at 
6 days. He was a surgeon at Cambridge, and is honor. by Rev. Mr. Hale
in his tract on Witchcraft, as saving in 1602, a woman charg. with the horrid
offence. Perhaps he went home, for one of this unusual name was, in 1668, fin.
and imprison. as one of the fifth monarchy men, setting up the imaginary reign
of King Jesus to disturb the absolute throne of Oliver Cromwell in his last
yr.  In Sept. 1661, liv. in London, he had a legacy in the will of Edward
Shrimpton. WILLIAM, Boston 1669, a mariner. Of descend. of first Robert a
Rev,. was pub. some yrs. since by Rev. George E. Day, wh.shows that nineteen
had been gr. at Yale, and one at ea. of the coll. foll. Dart. Wil. Amh. and
Brown, and that ten of the eleven min. were liv. at his date of publ. One at
H. C. 1806 was the earliest of the name in that catal.

      DAYTON, RALPH, New Haven a 1639, sign. the covenant of habitancy but not
at its format. yet liv. there 10 yrs.; was of Easthampton, L. I. 1650, and
later.  Sometimes the name is Daighton. SAMUEL, Southampton, L. I. 1641,prob.
at New Haven 1646, and Brookhaven a. 1655.  Perhaps the disting. fam. of New
Jersey is of this stock.
      DEACON, JOHN, Plymouth, of wh. no more is kn. but that he d. 1636.

George; Joseph, a. 1671; Benjamin; Elizabeth and Hannah; of not one can the date
of b. or d. be ascert. and glad. can we read in fam. rec. that Elizabeth m.

Thomas, and Joseph had fams. and of George and Benjamin only that they d. bef.

Hannah, Apr. 1686; William, 6 July 1690; Nathaniel, 20 Apr. 1693; and Jonathan, Apr.

Jan. 1688, d. young; Sarah, 3 Dec. 1689; and Hannah, again, 16 Apr. 1691. But much 
contradict. appears in Geneal. Reg. XII. 347, unless we make two Samuels contempo.

surveyor, selectman, lieut. and in 1689 rep. and d. 23 Dec. 1720, in 73d yr.

b. of French or Flemish Protestant parents, but of the Eng. ch. at Leyden,
Winslow says, and 19 yrs. old at his coming; was s. prob. of Jean and Marie de

no more. THOMAS, Duxbury, br. perhaps eldest of the preced. m. Mary, d.
perhaps youngest, of first John Alden, had Thomas, but we kn. not his date of

1667. He m. next, 24 Oct. 1692 or 1699, Hannah, wid. of Robert Bartlett, d. of

Mather, that he had been a min. at Halifax in Yorksh. and the most of his
