  SABIN, BENJAMIN, Rehoboth 1670, perhaps s. of William, had Benjamin, 
b. 2 Dec. 1673, call. on for contribut. of money in the war of
1675, rem. to Roxbury, prob. to escape nearer evils, there had Mehitable, 
7 Sept. 1677.  Early next yr. his w. d. and he m. 5 July 1678,

Patience, 3 May 1682; Jeremiah, 11 Mar. 1684; Experience, Feb.

perhaps s. of William, had Jonathan, b. 12 July 1674; Abigail, 16
Aug. 1678; Experience, 14 Mar. 1681, d. soon; Joseph, 18 Nov. 1682,
d. soon. JONATHAN, Rehoboth, wh. serv. 1675 and 6 in the gr. Ind.
war, may have been br. of Benjamin, but I kn. no more. NEHEMIAH,
Rehoboth, perhaps br. of the preced. had David, b. 10 Nov. 1674, d.
soon. In Col. Rec. a name of one bur. at R. in the latter pt. of May
1676, print. Nathaniel Sahen, perhaps a ch. I think may mean one of
this fam. NOAH, a soldier in Gallop's comp. 1690, perhaps of Rehoboth. 
SAMUEL, Rehoboth, s. of William, I suppose, a soldier in the
war begun by Philip both yrs. at differ. times, had Israel, b. 16 June
1673; Experience, 5 Oct. 1676, wh. propb. d. next yr.; and Mary, 4
Mar. 1679.  He was serv. in Gallop's comp. 1690 for Phips's crusade

compact of 1644, was a selectman, rep. 1657 and sev. yrs. more;
had Mehitable, b. 10 May 1673, unless she were ch. of one of his s.
He was liberal in contribut. for Philip's war, and prob. two, if not more
of his ch. render. personal serv. What number of ch. he had is unkn.

nor is the date of either giv. but seven appear with some distinctness,
and the names are thot. to be Mercy, in add. to the five foregoing, and
William, beside, perhaps, ano. s. whose wid. gave of her mite to the
cause. WILLIAM, Rehoboth, s. perhaps of the preced. had Mary, b. 18
Sept. 1675; and Margaret, 10 Apr. 1680. Easi. this name gains final e.
   SABLE, or SABLES, JOHN, Hartford 1639, rem. prob. bef. 1650, to
some other town of uncert. name, perhaps Wethersfield, and was freem.
1658. WILLIAM, Braintree, a soldier of Johnson's comp. 1675.
   SACKET, JOHN, New Haven, m. 20 May 1652, Agnes Tinkham, had

John Stiles, wid. of John Stewart of Springfield; and d. 8 Apr. 1719.
He was prob. s. of the first Simon, and may have been br. from Eng.
Abigail m. 13 Sept. 1682, John Noble; and Mary m. 2 Oct. 1689,
Benjamin Morley. All his other ch. were m. also; but William, Samuel, 
and Abigail d. bef. their f. JOHN, New Haven, eldest s. of John of
the same, was a propr. 1685. JOHN, Westfield, eldest s. of John of the

Daniel, 14 Aug. 1693; David, 7 July 1696; Benjamin, 30 Oct. 1698;

sec. Simon, had, says Riker, three s. Elizabeth d. of capt. Richard Betts;
the next, Ann; and last 1711, Mercy, wid. of Thomas Betts, d. of Daniel 
Whitehead. He had large est. was lieut. and capt. d. 1719.  The
ch. were Simon, Joseph, Richard, John, William, Samuel, Elizabeth and
Sarah, but the hist. of Newtown gives no dates of their bs. nor does he
appropr. the mos.  SIMON, Cambridge 1632, came with w. Isabel, and,
prob. both s. Simon and John, all, perhaps, in the Lion, that brot. in
Sept. of that yr. sev. sett. of C.; had sh. in the div. of ld.  Aug. 1635,
and d. soon aft. since admin. of his goods was giv. by the Ct. of Assist.
to his wid. 3 Nov. foll. as our Col. Rec. I. 155, shows. Perhaps she m.
again. This name was writ. by Dr. Holmes in his Hist. of Cambridge, 1
Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. 10, Oakes, but that was more than 60 yrs. since,
and he bec. as he grew older, better able to read ancient rec.  SIMON, 
Springfield, 1654, s. prob. of the preced. b. in Eng. m. Sarah, d. 
of William Blomfield, had only Joseph, b. 23 Feb. 1656, and d.

   SADD, JOHN, Hartford, a tanner, with good est. from Earl's Colne,
Co. Essex, purch. ho. and ld. 1674, had left s. John in Eng. here m. a.

  SADLER, ABIAL, Gloucester 1689, had been a soldier, Babson says,
in the Col. serv.; by w. Rebecca had a ch. b. 13 Mar. 1693; and the f.
d. 13 Sept. 1697. ANTHONY, Newbury, came from Southampton in
the Confidence, as serv. to Stephen Kent, 1638, as the rec. has it, 9 yrs.
old, the fig. on the left hand being lost, would, perhaps, be supplied by 2,
for he was adm. freem. 6 Sept. 1639; was a shoemak. m. Martha, d. of
John Cheney, had only ch. Abiel, b. 2 Nov. 1650; rem. to Salisbury,
and was drown. 23 Feb. 1651. His wid. next yr. m. prob. the sec.

Wethersfield 1643, on Glastonbury side of the riv. is found in the list of
freem. 1669, had w. Deborah, but no ch. prob. for all his prop. was giv.
to her by the will of 8 Aug. 1673, and he d. next mo. RICHARD, Lynn,
freem. 14 Mar. 1639, had come in 1636, it is said, from Worcester, Eng.
in 1639 had charge, with John Oliver and Robert Keayne, of run. line
between that town and Boston; was made clk. of the writs, i. e. town
clk. with addit. function, in Dec. 1641, but went home in 1646, as fellowpasseng. 
with John Leverett, Gov. Sayles of Bermuda, and many others,
of wh. were the malcontent doctor Child, Thomas Fowle, and William
Vassall.  See the curious tract, New England's Salamander, by Gov.
Winslow, in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. II. 130-3. He bec. a preach. ord. 16
May 1648, at the little chapel of Whixall, in the N. pt. of Shropshire,
adj. Flint, says Calamy; and was eject. aft. the restorat. from a better
living at Ludlow, but d. at W. 1675, aged 55. Lewis, in his Hist. Ed.
2d, p. 92, would instr. us, that he had s. Richard, b. 1610, wh. was the

Feb. 1670, d. young; Benjamin, 15 June 1672, d. soon; and Joseph,
again, 24 Jan. 1676. His w. with two of the ch. d. 1678, of smallpox;
and the rest of the ch. all d. young. Soon aft. m. he rem. to Boston,
join. the firt ch. and took freem.'s o. 1671, was rep. 1684 to 6, in the
latter yr. being chos. speaker, had large interest in the Narraganset or
King's Prov. 1638, at the first pop. elect. of counsel. in 1693, was
chos. one of the ten by the peop. prefer. to ten others, dictat. to k. William 
in the chart. by Increse Mather, and made one of the judges in
Sup. Ct. 1701, from wh. place Gov. Dudley rem. him, and two yrs. later
negat. him as counsel. For sec. w. he took, 1680, Elizabeth wid. of Peter
Lidget, Esq. and she made her will 14 Apr. 1682, prob. hav. such power
by her contr. of m. and in July foll. attempt. to destr. hers. as by the
diary of Noadiah Russell, in Geneal. Reg. VII. 56, is seen.  He had
third w. Rebecca, d. of Rev. Samuel Lee of Bristol, whither he rem. a.
1690, and was appoint. the first judge of Pro. in the new Co. then pt. of
Mass. since assign. to R. I. From this w. aft. long disagr. he separat.
hims. and very curious matter a. the affair may be read in Baylies, I. V.
56-61; but far more interest is found in the letter to S. from Cotton
Mather, 3 Mass. Hist. ColI. 137, writ. only ten days bef. d. of S. prob.
therefore never rec. It is one of the happiest of the eccentric writer's
productions; and highly piquant would have been the reply of the judge
to his ghostly adviser, had he liv. to offer one. The will, made two
days bef. pro. two days aft. his d. in wh. nothing is giv. to his w. and L5
to Cotton Mather, confirms this conject.  He d. at B. 29 July 1710, and
Hutch. III. 136, refers to the interm. of his last surv. s. wh. d. 18 Jan.
1687, immortaliz. by the epitaph in Addison's Spectator, as in the
judicious memoir to be read in Geneal. Reg. IV. 109. His wid. m. 26

s. of Nicholas, perhaps b. in Eng. by w. Annbel had John, b. 5 Jan.

the docum. 4 Oct. foll. by the nam of Bridget Gooding, late Salisbury.
NICHOLAS, Boston, had w. Elizabeth wh. d. 17 Feb. 1688, aged 53, perhaps
was f. of John, and the com. ancest. of sev. disting. fams.  WILLIAM,
Swanzey 167l, was, perhaps, f. of John bef. ment. certain. of that William,

Sept. of that yr. and 11 Nov. 1684 the f. took admin. de bonis non. But
he was of Milton, had w. Susanna; and from Hist. of Dorchester, 59, I
learn that he had been there bef. 1656.

Hannah, Mary, Sarah, and Robert, all bapt. 5 June 1664.
  SALLS, SAMUEL, Lynn, m. 4 Aug. 1663, Ann Lenthall. Perhaps the

  SALLY, or SALLEE, MANES, Charlestown, adm. of the ch. 3 May

join. the ch. four wks. bef. One Thomas, without surname, is found in
the rec. of b. at C. 20 Oct. and I presume he was this man's s. and that

Mary, 10 Aug. 1642, bapt. 30 Oct. foll. as "a 3 days old," that shows
wh. rec. is wrong; Jabez, bapt. 17 Aug. 1645, wh. perhaps d. soon; yet
possib. the next town rec. Jabez, b. Sept. 1647 is wrong; Elisha, 7 Mar.
1654, d. next yr.; and Lydia, 24 Mar. 1656. He kept the prison in
this yr. and long aft. was witness to the will of wretch. Mrs. Hibbins,
wid. of the Assist. execut. as a witch, when she was only a scold; and
he d. 10 Aug. 1675, aged 68. His will of 11 May preced. names s.
Jabez, and John, wh. was gone away, but if he came back, should have
five acres on Spectacle isl.; ds. Mehitable, that shoul have half his

  SALTONSTALL, HENRY, Watertown, s. of Sir Richard, b. in Eng.
brot. prob. by his f. 1630, ar. co. 1639, gr. in the first class of H. C. 1642,
went soon aft. to Eng. was in Holland 1644, stud. med. and in Oct. 1649
had degr. of M. D. at the Univ. of Padua, and 24 June 1652, at Oxfor d,
by order of the Long Parliam. and was made fellow of New Coll. as
was, with less regard to rules, our William Stoughton; but place of his
later resid. or date of his d. is unkn. See Wood's Athene Oxon.
NATHANIEL, Haverhill, s. of Richard the sec. was prob. the first male
of this disting. fam. b. on our side of the ocean, freem. 1665, rep. 1666,
8-71, Assist. 1679 and until the vacat. of our old chart. 1686, but again
an overthrow of Andros, tho. the k. had made him one of the coun. to
Dudley; yet was nam. again in the new chart. and a judge of the Sup.
Ct. in 1692, when he refus. participat. in the monstrous trials for witchcr.
leav. his seat to be occup. by Jonathan Corwin, br. of the sheriff that
was call. to hang so many innocent victims. But many yrs. he was
head of the Essex militia. He m. 28 Dec. 1663, Elizabeth d. of Rev. John
Ward, had Gurdon, b. 27 Mar. 1666, H. C. 1684, the disting. min. of
New London, and Gov. of Conn. (so nam. for Brampton Gurdon the
Suff'k. patriot M. P. whose d. was his mo.); Elizabeth 15 Sept. 1688;
Richard, 25 Apr. 1672; Nathaniel, 5 Sept. 1674; both H. C. 1695;
and John, 14 Aug. 1678, wh. d. at 3 yrs.; and d. 21 May 1707. His
wid d. 29 Apr. 1741, as Bond, 921, tells; but the yr. should be 1714.
Of his hon. descend. large acco. may be read in 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. V.
154, and 3 M. H. C. IX. 119, but more in Bond's copious Hist. of
Watertown. PETER, by the hist. of the Ancient and Hon. Art. Co.
made one of the corps 1644, is prob. name without right giv. by Whitman, 
as if he were s. of Sir Richard, for no such person is ever heard of
elsewhere, and Bond rejects it as any of our N. E. stock.  Orig. rec. of
that famous milit. band have been lost above a hundred and fifty yrs.

RICHARD, Watertown, the knght, s. of Samuel, and neph. of Sir
Richard mayor of London in the time of Queen Elizabeth was from the
neighb. of Halifax, in the W. Riding of Co. York, in the royal chart. of
4 Mar. 1629 first nam. of the 18 Assist. came 1630 in the fleet bring. all
his fam. with Gov. Winthrop but prob. his w. had d. sone yrs. bef. With
two ds. Rosamond and Grace, and one of his younger s. prob. Samuel,
he left N.E. for home 1 Apr. 1631, hav. attend. eight of the nine sess.
of the Ct. of Assist. and was fin. for abs. at that of 7 Sept. preced.
Earnest. he befriend. onr country in Eng. by thought, word, and deed;
and was active, with  the Lords Brooke, Say and Seal and other puritans 
in the first settlem. of Conn.  By his first w. Grace, d. of Robert
Kaye, Esq. of Yorksh. he had four s. Richard, b. 1610; Robert; Samuel; 
and Henry; two ds. Rosamond, perhaps the eldest ch. and Grace.
By uncert. tradit. he is giv. two other ws. one said to be d. of the Earl
of Delaware, for wh. in Collins's Peerage no support can be seen, and
the other, less improb. Martha Wilford; but no ch. is ascrib. to either.
He was, with s. Henry, in Holland 1644, perhaps min. to the States, and
there was paint. the likeness of wh. engrav. is seen in the sec. vol. of
Mass. Hist. Soc. Proceed.  His will was made 1658, at the age of 72.
RICHARD, Ipswich, s. of the preced. by his f. brot. 1630, hav. left
the Univ. of Cambridge, where he was entr. at Emanuel Coll. as a
fellow commoner, 18 Apr. 1627, from Yorksh. and matricula. 14 Dec.
foll. adm. freem. of Mass. 18 Oct. 1631, and next mo. went home, by
circuitous voyage of six wks. to Virg. and m. in Eng. a. 1633, Meriel,
d. of Brampton Gurdon of Assington, Co. Suff'k. near the ancestr. resid.
of our first Gov. Winthrop and emb. on return in the Susan and Ellen
1635, with that w. aged 22, and d. of the same name, was rep. in Mar.
1636 and foll. sess. until chos. an Assist. in May 1637, and in 1641
was made first offic. under Endicott, of the Essex regim. when only two
were in the Col. went home again, perhaps for the health of his w. 1649,
as told in the anecdote relat. of Rev. John Cotton in note to Hutch. I.
94. For many yrs. he was not chos. Assist. but in 1664 in hope of
his com. again, the honor was renew. and it was erron. assert. that he
had been aft. in the country, bec. in 1672 he gave L50. to relief of
Goffe and Whalley, the regicides. In 1680, however, he once more
in Mass. and in May organizat. made an Assist. tak. the o. in Aug. wh.
was renew. in 1681 and 2, but in this latter yr. he went home again, as
the hope of preserv. liberty under the old chart. evapora. and d. 20 or
29 Apr. 1694, at Hulme, in Lancashire, at the ho. of Sir Edward
Morley, wh. m. his eldest d.  Other ch. were Richard, wh. d. young,
prob. unm. certain. and Nathaniel, bef. ment. also Abigail, wh. m. Thomas
Harley, s. of Sir Robert, and uncle to the famous Robert, prime min. of
[[9]]
Queen Anne, the friend of Pope and Swift, well kn. as Earl of Oxford
(see Collin's Peerage, IV. 244, Ed. 5, and correct the slight error
there); beside Elizabeth wh. m. Hercules Horsey, Esq.  Instruct. may be
got as to the just value of tradit. from a note in Hutch. II. 122, in wh.
is read the story of a letter from Mrs. Harley to her sis. in N. E. that
was many yrs. preserv. aft. the d. of that disting. statesman, for this passage 
in it; "I am now going to carry Bob. up to the inns of ct. to
make a man of him," and Hutch. wh. seldom falls into such an error,
makes the mo. "gr.d. of Sir Richard S." and this H. introduc. by refer.
to "a tradit. that Harley had some N. E. blood in him, his mo. being a
gr.d. of Sir Richard S."  Now beside that this gr.d. of Sir Richard S.
had no sis. here to write unto, the tale is false in the most vital pt. as
usual, for she, being w. of his uncle, not of his f. could transmit no blood
to he Lord High Treasurer.  ROBERT, Watertown, br. of the preced.
ar. co. 1638, was prob. at Windsor 1640-2, engag. for his f. or elder br.
but allow. Francis Stiles to lead him into gr. useless expense, from wh.
both suffer. inconven. to their dying day. He d. 1650, unm.; in his will
of 13 June, pro. 15 Aug. nam. only relat. his f. brs. Richard, Samuel,
and Henry, sis. Rosamond and Grace, and made John Clark excor. wh.
forthwith renounc. his office. See Geneal. Reg. VII. 334.  SAMUEL,
Watertown, br. of the preced. of wh. we would, glad. kn. more than
Farmer told, of his d. 21 Jan. 1696. Even in the gr. Hist. of W. Bond
could add only that admin. was tak. in Oct. foll. by his neph. Nathaniel,
saying that he had no active participat. in munici. concerns, nor is w. or
ch. found in the rec. But in that vol. p. 918, amends are made by one
of the finest letters of that age from his sis. Rosamond, 22 Apr. 1644.
She was then resid. in conseq. of the loss of his prop. by her f. in the
family of the puritan Earl of Warwick, Ld. High Adm. and her sis.
with the lady of the Earl of Manchester, one of the ch. command.
in the civil war. Of descend. of Sir Richard, in the male line, thirteen
had, in 1834, been gr. at Harv. and six at Yale.
  SAMFIELD, AUSTEN, Fairfield 1658, d. 1661, leav. small prop. to wid.
and no ch. heard of.
  SAMPSON,  ABRAHAM, Duxbury 1638, perhaps br. of Henry, m. a d.
of Samuel Nash, and Windsor says, he had a sec. w. His ch. were
Abraham, Isaac, Samuel, wh. was by the Ind. in Philip's war, and
George, b. 1655. ABRAHAM, Duxbury, s. of the preced. m. Sarah, d.
of Alexander Standish, had Abraham, b. 1686; Miles, 1690; Ebenezer;
Rebecca; Sarah; and Grace. CALEB, Duxbury, s. perhaps youngest,
of Henry, m. Mary, d. of Alexander Standish, had, says Windsor, Rachel
and Lora. GEORGE, Duxbury, or Plympton, s. of the first Abraham,
by w. Elizabeth had Joseph, b. 14 May 1679; Abigail, 22 Jan. 1681;

Judith, 3 Mar. 1683; Ruth, 22 Dec. 1684; Benjamin, 19 Sept. 1686;

William, 8 July  1693; and Seth, 22 Dec. 1697. His w. d. 27 May
1727, in her 70th yr. and he d. 26 July 1739, in his 84th yr. as Windsor
tells. HENRY, Plymouth 1620, came in the Mayflower, of the fam. of
his uncle, Edward Tilley, a youth too small to sign the immortal compact
of Nov. at Cape Cod; but whether, or not, entit. in the div. of lds. he
was certain. in the div. of cattle, 1627, enumerat. in the comp. of Elder
Brewster, liv. on Duxbury side, m. 6 Feb. 1636, Ann Plummer, had
Stephen, John, James, Caleb, Elizabeth Hannah, Mary, and, perhaps, Dorcas,
but when Bradford wrote, 1650, only seven ch. and d. 24 Dec. 1684.
Elizabeth m. Robert Sproat; Hannah m. Josiah Holmes; Mary m. John
Summers; Dorcas m. Thomas Bonney; and one d. it is said, m. John
Hammond, but he is not of my aquaint. ISAAC, Duxbury, s. of Abraham, 
m. Lydia, d. of Alexander Standish, had Isaac, b. 1688; Jonathan,
1690; Josiah, 1692; Lydia, 1694; Ephraim, 1698; Priscilla, 1702;
and Barnabas, 1705. JAMES, Dartmouth 1686. JOHN, Boston, merch.
rem. perhaps, to Beverly 1671, there m. a d. of Richard Haynes, and
bef. the begin. of Ind. war, 1675, may have liv. at Scarborough. Ano.
JOHN, at New London, m. aft. 1672, not long bef. 1676, the wid. mo. of
John Stodder, or Stother, a youth of only 16, wh. possess. by a malice
almost incredib. murder. with an axe, 6 June 1678, Zipporah, w. of
Thomas Bolles, with two of her ch. Joseph, and Mary, and soon aft.
murder. John Sampson, s. of his mo. aged betw. one and two yrs. as by
his own confess. is seen in the rec. of his trial at Hartford.  For the
soundness of the maxim in common law, malitia supplet aetatem, I believe,
no stronger prorf can be found since the creation, in the stories of juven.
depravity.  He acknowl. that he k. his br. with a hatchet "bec. he cried,
and bec. he did not love the ch. nor his f." and was execut. 9 Oct. foll.
RICHARD, by Farmer call. of Boston, the freem. of 1674, I dare not
accept, but think, was rather appropr. by New Hampsh. ROBERT,
Boston 1630, came in the same sh. with Gov. Winthrop wh. calls him cous.
in a let. to his w. Apr. bef. depart. from Isle of Wight. His fam. was
ancient. in the rank of knights, resid. at Sampson's Hall in the parish of
Kersey, adj. Groton, where was patron as well as lord of the manor.
He was s. of John, by Bridget Clopton, sis. of the sec. w. of our Gov.
W.  By Whitman he is count. a memb. of the ar. co. 1639; but it
seems far more prob. (as we never hear of him aft.) that he was some
yrs. gone home. ROGER, Ipswich 1654. STEPHEN, Duxbury, s. of
Henry, had Benjamin; Cornelius; Hannah; Mary; Elizabeth; John, b. 17
Aug. 1688;  Dorcas; and Abigail.
   SAMS, or SAMMES, CONSTANTINE, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Richard,
[[11]]
b. 7 Oct. 1678; Mary, 2 Dec. 1684; Mercy, 3 July 1687, d. soon; and
Mercy, again, 12 Jan. 1689. JOHN, Roxbury 1640, went to Eng. and
at Coggeshall, in Co. Essex, was success. in the pulpit of celebr. John
Owen, D. D. says Calamy, from wh. he was eject. 1675; and the eccles.
hist. tells, that he was educat. in N. E.  Very strange it seems, that no
more is kn. of him here, but that in R. he purch. lds. of Rev. Thomas
Weld, of capt. John Johnson, and of Joseph Weld, a. 1640, to amount,
in aggreg. of L134. and that in Sept. 1642, Gov. Thomas Dudley, on
ex'con. for L51. got the whole, in pt. satisfact. thereof, by appraisem. at
L42, 17, 8 1/2, so that little benefit of his acres was enjoy. by the poor
scholar, wh. could not redeem his est.  See Dudley's investit. in Reg. of
Suff'k. Deeds, I. 37. RALPH, Dorchester, a tailor, rem. to Boston bef.
1659; and was liv. 1663. THOMAS, Salem, had gr. of ld. in 1638, as
Felt. tells, and liv. at Marblehead 1648. Yet he may have been of
Roxbury 1637, and one of the appraisers on inv. of Edward Blackley.
  SAMUEL, JOHN, Boston, wh. m. 24 Dec. 1652, wid. Lucy Wight, is
call. mariner in 1656; and he d. 8 Dec. 1662, or his inv. was then made.
   SAMWAYS, SAMWAYES, SAMOIS, or SAMWIS, JOHN, Huntington, 
L. I. adm. freem. of Conn. 1644, perhaps was s. of the foll. RICHARD,
Windsor 1640, had one ch. wh. d. 1648, and he d. 1650, leav. wid.
Esther, and perhaps, two ch. But the name was not long in W. so
that, by var. spell. Hinman, 71, made two out of him.

tradit. said to have come from Co Derby, and more prob. to be s. of
John by a d. of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, wh. left three s. John, William,
and Stephen, to the care of their gr.f. by wh. they were brot. in the

1717; and Daniel, 31 Dec. 1719; and d. 9 Nov. 1723.  But in the
fam. geneal. when we read that he had sec. w. Sarah, it would be agreeable 
to discern what portion of these eleven ch. all liv. in 1721, were b.
respective. by ea. as great unwillingness must be felt at inflict. the whole
on either. RICHARD, Hampton, br. of the preced. m. 5 Dec. 1678, Ruth 
Moulton, had Mary, b. 30 Sept. 1679; John, 6 Nov. 1681; and Ruth; but 
by sec. w. m. 20 Dec. 1693, wid. Mary, of sec. Nathaniel Boulter, he had 
Shubael, b. next yr. STEPHEN, Hampton, br. perhaps youngest, of the first

  SANBROOKE, THOMAS, Boston, whose will of 16 May 1649, pro. 6
Feb. foll. is seen in Geneal. Reg. VII. 227, could not be other than a
trans. trader here.
  SANDERBANT, JOHN, the freem. of 10 May 1643, is, I doubt not,
blunder of Mr. Secr. for Sunderland, as shall in that place be explain.
  SANDON, or SANDERS, Salem 1639, on Marblehead side, had license to
keep an inn, and in 1645 to sell wine; d. a. 1667.
  SANDS, or SANDES, JAMES, Block Isl. now call. New Shoreham, was
b. it is said, 1622, at Reading, Co. Berks, came with w. Sarah, and, perhaps, 
was of Taunton 1658, but among first sett. at the Isl. bef. 1672;
had Sarah, wh. m. prob. bef. 1673, Nathaniel Niles, and tradit. tells, that
he had been as early as 1643, of Portsmouth, R. I. and freem. 1655.
See Niles, in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 192.  In Hist. of New London,
293, Caulkins ment. at his d. Mercy m. 29 Apr. 1683, Joshua Raymond; 
and that she was incident. connect. with the famous pirate, Wiliam 
Kidd.  Beside that Mercy he had John, James, Samuel, and ano. s.

in the rec. of ch. or of town resid. 1654, he may have been only trans.

He went with Coddington, Hutchinson, and others, to purch.

there 1655, was constable, treasr. Secr. Assist. 1647, and chos. head of
the Colo. as Presid. in May 1653. One or more of his ch. were tak. by
the Ind. when they k. Mrs. Hutchinson, it is said; and the friend. visit
from a distance of a hundred and thirty miles, shows the intimacy the
poor wid. kept up with old acquaint. When he d. is not heard. JOHN,

pro. 24 Apr. foll. ment. no ch. but gives all est. to w. Sarah for life, and
[[15]]
aft. devise to the third ch. his sch.ho. and ld. adj. one half of other est.
to childr. of his br. Robert, they to pay aft. entry upon d. of the wid.
£20. to Hannah Potter, if she liv. with her until 18 yrs. old, and other
half to childr. of Edward Turner of Middletown, they to pay, as soon as
they rec. and enter upon it L10. to John Potter of R. I. and L10. to
Stephen Coppock of L. I.  The excors. were nam. w. Sarah and capt.
Timothy Wheeler, but he renounc. the office. Wh. Coppock was, or
how he or Turner were relat. to testator is unkn. but I hazard the
conject. that he was br. of Turner's w. NATHANIEL, Hartford 1655, d.
1687, leav. good est. to wid. Susanna, wh. m. John Buttolph of Wethersfield,

1683, but was oft. honor. with commis. from Eng. as judge in the admiralty, 
and was liv. 1699. RICHARD, Boston 1640, laborer, whose w.

1661; Mary, 22 Sept. 1664; Robert, 15 Apr. 1667; Richard, 27 Mar.
1670; and Thomas, 27 Apr. 1673. At Scarborough, in 1663, may have
been one of this name, unless erron. giv. in Geneal. Reg. V. 264, as
may well be suspect. from the many mistakes in that list. ROBERT,
Hartford, prob. youngest s. of Robert of the same, had a fam. but details
have not reach. me. SAMUEL, Milford, s. of Thomas, propound. for
freem. 1669, d. 1691, leav. wid. Hannah, and ch. Hannah, aged 16;
Samuel, 12; Sarah, 9;  Mary, and Thomas, 4; as on the inv. return.

Richard Shute; and Elizabeth m. 28 Oct. 1669, Obadiah Allyn of Middletown.

1666, Elizabeth Paine, perhaps d. of John, had Samuel, b. 13 Sept. 1668;

1682; and, perhaps, more; was freem. 1669, and a propr. contin. 1685.
THOMAS, Scarborough 1663, subject to the same suspic. as attach. to the
name of Robert there. ZACHARY, Saybrook 1651, was, perhaps, first

early in 1714, leav. only ch. Sarah, and Abigail. This name is spell.
with much variat. in early days the first syl. was Samp, and aft. d was the

at Southampton, Apr. 1638, in the Confidence, of London, as serv. of
Edmund Goodenow of Dunhead, Co. Wilts, was a blacksmith, rem. to
Watertown, in the autumn of 1649, there, by w. Mary, d. of Robert
Reynolds the first of Boston, had Mary, b. 26 Sept. 1650; Nathaniel,
14 Feb. 1652; John, 6 Sept. 1657; and by sec. w. Sarah had Sarah, 19

  SANKEYS, ROBERT, Saco, came in the Increase from London, Apr.
1635, aged 30, sent by Robert Cordell, a goldsmith of Lombard street,
says the rec. at custom-ho. appears as a witness with Cleves and
Tucker, to the import. deed of 30 Mar. preced. from Richard Vines,
agent of Sir Ferdinand Gorges, to Arthur Mackworth.  Mr. Willis, in
Hist. of Portland, I. 32, recit. the docum. makes it 1635, as "in the
eleventh yr. of Charles," keeping in mind, that the tenth yr. of that
reign end. 27 Mar. 1635, of course three days later was within the
eleventh. Now this witness was then in London, and so, I suppose, tho.
dated in 1635, the indent. was not actually deliver. for some months aft.
Possib. eleventh may be error of the instrum. for twelth. But I leave
the solution to the perspicacity of so good a judge. He was appoint. by
Gorges, in 1640, Provost Marshal, and sat in the first Gen. Ct. of that
Province, with other dignitaries, 25 June of that yr. Willis, I. 47.  Of
the doings of that Ct. I employ. an amnanuensis to take large extr.

Elisha, 24 Oct. 1695; Rachel, 10 Oc. 1698; Ichabod, 5 Aug.

Sept. 1716, near. 77 yrs. old; and his wid. d. 2 Mar. 1730. All the
fifteen ch. are ment. in his will of 20 May 1708. JOHN, Gloucester,
eldest s. of the first William of the same, m. 24 Dec. 1679, Hannah
Howard, had Hannah, b. 30 Mar. 1681; John, 1683; Thomas, 1685;
Andrew, 1691, Joseph, 1702; and ano. s. and six more ds. JOHN,
Saco, was lieut. 1680, and at Gen. Ct. held Presid. Danforth, 1684,

Haven, where he had also four ch. bapt. at once, 10 Aug. 1651, nam.
Jonathan, Hannah, Thomas, and John, most, perhaps all, able to walk to
N. H. I suppose, some it may be adult. He d. 12 Dec. foll. and his
wid. d. in seven das, and in few yrs. the fam. was extinct in Conn. by
John's d. a. 1675, at Guilford, without issue, as did Thomas, at Branford,
1700, and Jonathan, with his sis. wh. had m. Benjamin Baldwin, hav.
rem. to Newark, N. J. at the great migrat. Of this fam. was the celebr.
missiona. to the Stockbridge Ind. JOSEPH, Gloucester, youngest s. of
the first William of the same, m. 1712, Martha Baker of Topsfield, had
Joseph, b. 16 May 1713, and she d. few days aft. He m. 16 Sept. 1717,

the first William of the same, m. 24 Jan. 1695, Sarha Harvey, wh. d. 5
Feb. 1706; and next m. 26 Mar. 1710, Mary Stevens, had five s. and
seven ds. but in Babson no names are ment. exc. of Nathaniel, b. 1702,
and Daniel, 1714; and he d. 12 Dec. 1732. PETER, Boston, merch.
came, 1667, from London, was a strenuous oppon. of Andros, and chos.
on his overthrow, to be one of the com'tee of safety, freem. 1690, was
nam. of the counc. in the new chart. His w. whose name I hear not,
d. 10 Nov. 1700, and he m. 9 Oct. foll. Mary, the wid. of Sir William
Phips, wh. first was wid. of John Hall, and d. of capt. Roger Spencer.
Next, he m. 19 Dec. 1706, Mehitable, wid. of Thomas Cooper, d. of
James Minot, and d. 8, was bur. 13 Feb. 1714. His will, of 17 Jan.
preced. ment. dec. brs. Joseph, and Henry, two surv. sis. beside nephs.
and nieces of dec. brs. and sis. but no ch. nor do I find that he ever had
one. His wid. m. 12 May 1715, Simeon Stoddard. SAMUEL, Gloucester, 
br. of Joseph, m. 24 May 1689, Mary, d. of Francis Norwood,
had Samuel, b. 1690; William, 1692; four ds. and four more s. of wh.
Solomon, the youngest was b. 1708.  The f. was liv. 1746, but time of
his d. is unkn. STEPHEN, Boston, by w. Dorothy had Elizabeth b. 12 Apr.
1670; Margaret, 10 Mar. 1675; and Mary, 5 July 1677. THOMAS,
Branford 1667. THOMAS, Amesbury, prob. s. of William of the same,
m. 2 Mar. or by ano. story, 2 Apr. 1668, Rachel, d. of William Barnes,
had sev. ch. as a careful hand writes in Geneal. Reg. X. 184, whose pen
gives no name but Thomas, b. 15 Nov. 1676; but this s. perpet. the
success. He was freem. 1690. WILLIAM, Ipswich, one of the first sett.

sett. Newbury, and with Rev. Stephen Bachilor, began Hampton planta.
1638, lov. the pioneer's life so much, Coffin says, as to help build Amesbury, 
and there he found his final rest, a. 1673, aged 75. His w. was
Elizabeth d. of John Perkins, and ch. Thomas, b. 11 June 1643; William, 2
Jan. 1646; Mary; Elizabeth 22 Nov. 1648; and Sarah, 29 Feb. 1652.
His will, of 1671, names w. and ch. Thomas, William, Mary, w. of
Philip Challis, and her ch. William, Elizabeth Mary, Philip, and Watson,

WILLIAM, Charlestown 1638, adm. to the ch. 10 Mar. 1639, as was, on
the next Sunday, his w. Sarah, may be the freem. of 22 May foll. had
John, bapt. 8 Dec. 1639; Ruth, b. 25 Oct. 1642; Samuel, 3 Mar.
1645; and, perhaps, others. Farmer thot. him the preach. at Malden
1648-50, of wh. slight ment. is seen in Jonson's W. W. Providences,
Book III. cap. 7; yet as the min. is not nam. by Mather, he might be
supos. to have gone home, but he was never ord. acting only as lay
preach.  This William had long puzzled me much, but my final infer. 
was that he rem. to Barnstable, where he succeed. famous John 
Lothrop in the pulpit, and where a will of one William, 9 Mar. 1680,
names w. Sarah, s. John, and Samuel, ds. Ruth Bourne (wh. had been
wid. of Jonathan Winslow of Marshfield, m. Richard B. of Sandwich,
July 1677, and had third h. John Chipman of the same town), and Hannah 
Felch, beside gr.s. Samuel Bill, whose mo. Elizabeth had been wid.
Nichols, when she m. 14 June 1653, Thomas Bill; but his d. Elizabeth
must have been b. in Eng. and she d. 5 Mar. 1658. Abundant proof of
all this is obtain. by the diligence of Aaron Sargent of the eighth
generat. with success admira. exhibit. in the fam. geneal. print. 1858.
Hannah m. Henry F. of Reading. WILLIAM, Gloucester, had gr. of
ld. 1649, m. 10 Sept. 1651, Abigail, d. of Edmund Clark, had John, h.
1653; Andrew, 1655; William, 16 Aug. 1658; Samuel, 22 Mar. 1662;
Nathaniel, 30 Oct. 1663, d. soon; Abigail, 8 May 166O; Natkniel,
again, 1671; Joseph, 27 Mar. 1675; and Mary, 24 Nov. 1678,

Feb. 1717, aged 92. Abigail m. 15 June 1682, the sec. William Stevens.
WILLIAM, Amesbury, s. of William of the same, took o. of fidel. 20
Dec. 1677, m. 23 Sept. 1668, of Anthony Colby, had William, 
and, prob. sev. more ch. WILLIAM, Gloucester, call. sec. to
disting. him from the other, was b. in Bristol, Eng. m. 21 June 1678,
Mary, d. of Peter Duncan, had Fitz William, b. 6 Jan. 1680; and
Mary, 19 Dec. 1681; Andrew, 1683; Daniel, 1686; Jordan, 1688;
Epes, 1690, the ancest. of most of the disting. men of this name; Ann,
1692; Samuel, 1694, d. young; Fitz John, 1696, d. soon; one, with an
[[20]]
out of the way name, 1699, d. the same yr.; Jabez, 1700, d. the same
yr.; Fitz William, 1701; and Winthrop, 1704; WILLIAM, Gloucester,
s. of the first William of the same, m. 26 Oct. 1681, Naomi Stanwood,
perhaps d. of Philip, wh. d. 13 Mar. 1702, and he m. 14 Sept. 1703,
Hannah Short, perhaps d. of the sec. Henry; and by the two ws. he
had eleven ch. but Babson ment. no names, and thinks he rem. bef.
1721. Glad. would I learn, wh. was f. of that Nathaniel, gr. at Harv.
1707, by the catal. mark. as d. 1762, for to him Stephen Glover of G.
gave all his prop. requir. that he should be "bred up to learn."  Of
this name eighteen had been, in 1843, gr. at Harv. nine at Dart. and
two at Yale.
  SATCHELL, SATCHWELL, or SETCHELL. See Shatswell.
  SATTERLY, or SHATTERLY, BENEDICT, New London, there liv. but
few yrs. d. a. 1689; leav. perhaps, a s. and two ds. Sarah, wh. m. Joseph
Wickham of Killingworth; and Rebecca, m. Joseph Swasey of L. I.
NICHOLAS, Westerly 1680.
   SAULE, THOMAS, New Haven, or some pt. of that Col. 1639.
   SAUNDERS, sometimes SANDERS, CHRISTOPHER, Windsor 1671,
came short time bef. as seems prob. had Daniel, wh. d. 22 Dec. 1675, at 
11 days old; Susanna, b. 20 Nov. 1676; Daniel, again 27 Oct. 1678; and
Elizabeth 30 Apr. 1681; and it may be he was unsuccess. in trade, and rem.
to Rehoboth, for one of this name was there 1690. DANIEL, Cambridge,
d. 27 Feb. 1640, and no more is kn. of him. EDWARD, Portsmouth
1639, may be the man punish. at Watertown, 1654, for abuse of Ruth
Parsons. See Col. Rec. III. 364.  GEORGE, Windsor, br. of Christopher, 
propound. for freem. 1667, when he was ens. at Killingworth, m.
bef. 1675, Mary, d. of George Saxton, had George, perhaps by former
w. old eno. at least to be tax. with his f. 1675; and d. 16 Nov. 1690, leav.
Mary, then 13 yrs. old, and Abiah, a. 6. GEORGE, Windsor, br. of Christopher, 
acc. Stiles, 770, rem. to Simsbury, m. 17 Dec. 1691, Abigail,
perhaps d. of Nathaniel Bissell, wh. Stiles prints Russell, had, he says,
Hannah, b. 23 May previous, and he d. 5 Dec. 1697. Very much confusion 
a. this name exists, and it may not be wholly dissipat. by reducing
two Georges to one. JAMES, Haverhill, took the o. of alleg. 1677. JOHN,
Weymouth 1622, sent by Weston as gov. or overseer of his planta. gave
up next yr. the undertak. and prob, went home. JOHN, prob. at Ipswich
1635, freem. 25 May 1636, was permit. with Samuel Dudley and others,
to found Colchester, soon call. Salisbury, perhaps was f. of that Sarah,
wh. m. 3 Apr. 1641, Robert Pike of S. Yet possib. JOHN of Newbury
sev. yrs. later, might be thot. her f. and even it might seem that these
two were only one man. But he of S. had w. Esther, d. of John Rolfe,
and by her had Esther, b. 5 Sept. 1639; John, 1 July 1641, wh. d. in
[[21]]
few wks.; Ruth, 16 Dec. 1642; and John, again, 10 Dec. 1644; and he
went home, own. an est. in Wiltsh. leav. his br.-in-law Richard Dole of
Newbury, his atty.  To prevent confus. of the two Johns, we may further
note, that one of the name came in the Confidence of London, aged 25,
husbandman of Longford, also in Co. Wilts, with w. Sarah, emb. at
Southampton 24 Apr. 1638; and if we accept him as the John to wh.
(with w. Sarah) Coffin gives ch. Sarah, b. 20 Aug. 1647; Mary, 12
June 1649; Abigail, 12 Apr. 1651, Joseph, 1653, d. soon; and Elizabeth
26 Jan. 1655; we may feel sure that Pike's w. was not his d.  It may
indeed seem that she might have been sis. of either of the two. JOHN,
Salem 1637, mem. of the ch. had m. a d. of the firt Joseph Grafton, in
his will of 28 Oct. 1642, pro. Dec. 1643, ment. s. John, and f. Grafton.
JOHN, Wells 1645, had been of Hampton bef. 1643, was freem. 1653,
lieut. 1658, and of that gr. jury 1660, then call. sen. His will, of 13
June 1670, pro. 3 Aug. foll. names w. Ann, and s. Thomas, to wh.
the homestead was giv. to s. John a thousand acres 8 or 9 miles "above
Cape Porpus riv. falls."  wh. means, I judge, the Saco riv. and to all the
resid. of his ch. equal sh.  The whole est. was L139. JOHN, Braintree,
perhaps s. of Martin, b. in Eng. m. 9 Oct. or 8 Nov. 1650, Mary Munjoy, 
sis. of George the first, had Mary, b. 12 Dec. 1653; John, 23 Nov.

Feb. d. in few days; Judith, again, 23 Jan. 1665, d. very soon;

July 1670; Joseph, 21 Aug. 1673, d. next yr.; and Elizabeth 28 Aug. 1678,

Taunton 1643, rem. to Newport, there was one of the freem. in

Westerly, and had to sustain many yrs. the claim against Conn. usurpat.
His w. was Mary, d. of the first Joseph Clark of Newport. WILLIAM,
Hampton, a carpenter, had been in this country 2 or 3 yrs. bef. he went
to plant there, Sept. 1638, with Rev. Stephen Bachiler and others. Of
this name, oft. spell. without u, Farmer says, eight had, in 1829, been

young person, when bapt. 20 Mar. 1687, Bond constr. the phrase to
mean only unm. But he may have had other ch. bef. or aft. rem. to
Cambridge, and perhaps, went home. In the vicin. of W. num. descend.
are found. HENRY, Sandwich 1643. JONATHAN, Watertown, s. of Edward, 
perhaps the only one, m. 24 Oct. 1669, Abia, youngest d. of Thomas,
Bartlett of W. had Abia and Jonathan, tw. b. 28 Oct. 1673; Thomas,
10 Mar. 1675; John, 25 Mar. 1677; Benjamin, 28 May 1679; Samuel,

and John, wh. d. 17 Sept. 1658; rem. next yr. to Boston, and was
partner in gainful business, with John Hull, the night master. He had,
also, eldest ch. by first w. perhaps b. in Eng. Lydia, wh. was m. (by
Gov. Bellingham), 13 Dec. 1654, to Thomas Jones; but as no more is
[[23]]
told of either of the young couple, I conject. they went to Eng.  He
had sec. w. Elizabeth was deac. and d. 7 Oct. 1693, not 6, as Farmer gave
it.  By his will, of 18 July, pro. 20 Oct. his w. was made extrix. and in
her will of 15 Sept. 1694, prob. 21 Nov. 1695, is evid. proof, that ch. and
gr.ch. nam. in the will of her h. were not his, but hers.  No blood relat.
of his, exc. br. Edward, and s. Robert can with confid. be found in his
own will.  ROBERT, Cambridge, s. of the preced. by w. Elizabeth had
Joseph, b. 10 Oct. 1684; and he took sec. w. in Boston, 21 Dec. 1693,
Sarah Crow.  WILLIAM, Watertown, perhaps s. of the first Robert,
says Bond, but prob. was not, old eno. to sw.fidel. by w. Sarah, m.
18 Dec. 1666, had John, b. 13 Oct. 1667; Sarah, 17 Mar. 1669; William, 
6 Sept. 1670; Mary, 30 Nov. 1671; Hannah, 3 May 1674, at
Groton, whene he was driv. next yr. again to W. and had Lydia, 21
Apr. 1679; and Joseph, 28 Aug. 1680. WILLIAM, Watertown, s. of
the preced.  m. 14 May 1702, Abigail, d. of John Traine, wh. d. soon;
and he m. (if Bond has right dates) 14 May 1704, Ann, d. of Philip
Shattuck, had Lydia, b. 17 Dec. foll.; William, 10 Apr. 1706; and
rem. to Sudbury, there had Amos; Isaac; and, Barry says, others.
This name is sometimes abbrev. of its last syllab. and oft. is without u.
   SAVAGE, EBENEZER, Boston, s. of the first Thomas, was of ar. co.
1682, m. Martha, d. of capt. Bozoan Allen, had Mary, b. 15, bapt. 19
Aug. 1683, and he d. next yr.  EDWARD, Dorchester, if it be truly giv.
1664, as sign. the petitn. to the Gen. Ct. in vindicat. of our liberties.
See Hist. of D. 200. But I doubt the name is wrong, and the writer in
Geneal. Reg. V. 395, giv. the same list, in wh. this is Nov. 40, when he
aft. publ. acco. of all the subscrib. to that docum. on p. 465, omits him.
Of such a man in other connex. nothing is kn. and the same Hist. 38,
gather. 134 first sett. of the town, includes but one Edward, and his surname 
was Raymond.  EPHRAIM, Boston, s, of the first Thomas, by

freem. 1672, ar.co. 1674, its capt. 1683, and was many yrs. town clk. and
in that period the rec. were careful. kept, exc. when he was engag. with
his f. in Philip's war, and serv. in the unhappy expedit. of Sir William
Phips, 1690, then hav. command of one of the fleet, was rep. 1703. and
six yrs. more, and took the head of a comp. of the force draft. and sent
on serv. to Nova Scotia in the abortive campaign, 1707. He d. 1731,

the Prerogat. Ct. of the Archbp. of Canterbury, at London, 11 May

His will, of 28 June 1675, the day of march. to Philip's war, was so
well arrang. that in the resid. of his life no change was suggest. and
it was pro. 9 Mar. 1682. The sermon on his d. by Williard, of O. S.

the three regim. for the wild expedit. of Sir William Phips against
Quebec, and was the first field officer that land.  Of that brief and
blasted campaign, suffic. acco. may be read in a letter from him to his
br. Perez in London, that was by his majesty's officer licens. and print.
Apr. 1691. See 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. III. 256.  He d. 2 July 1705, and his

w. Christian, m. 6 May 1696, had Sarah, and d. 25 Jan. 1727. Of this 
name, thirteen, all descend. of the first Thomas, had been gr. at Harv.

Woburn, when freem. 1684. His will, of 8 Nov. 1687, pro. 2 Feb.
1691, names w. Mehitable, s. John, and Mehitable. SAMUEL, Woburn,
perhaps br. of the preced. freem. 1684, yet it may be prob. that neither
was of W. but of Braintree.  He m. 10 Apr. 1672, Hannah, eldest d.
of the first Joseph Adams, had Hannah, b. 13 July 1674; Abigail, 14
Feb. 1678; William and Deborah, tw. 19 Feb. 1680, both prob. d. early;

be of age, do we learn names of other ch. Joseph, Benjamin, Deborah,
and Judith; by wh. w. or when b. respective. is unkn.  Yet I venture
to conject. that the last nam. alone was by the Quincy w. wh. outliv. him
six or seven yrs.  His brs. Samuel and Benjamin also are ment. in that

Mitchell, had Sarah, b. 12 Nov. foll.; William, 15 Sept. 1659;
Samuel, 18 Mar. 1662; Richard, 20 Jan. 1664; and Robert, 8 Aug.

THOMAS, Plymouth, was in that serv. under Howland at Kennebeck, in
Apr. 1634, when one of his compan. was k. by Hocking, wh. was forthwith 
k. by the Plymouth men. See the evid. in Geneal. Reg. IX. 80,
and full relations by the Govs. Bradford of Plymouth and Winthrop of
Mass. He was, I suppose, of Plymouth in 1643, had Moses, b. 22 Jan.
1650, d. soon; Samuel, 4 June 1651; Jonathan, or Thomas, 4 Mar.
1653, Mary, 7 Apr. 1654; and, perhaps, others.  Either he or his s.
Thomas is rememb. in the will of Timothy Hatherley, Sept. 1664.

perhaps his br. perhaps f. or hav. tak. o. of suprema. and alleg. 24

of Plymouth, was in the employm. of Hatherley, and a doz. yrs. aft.

1657. He m. sec. w. 16 Feb. 1667, Judith, youngest ch. of Anthony
Pierce, as Bond tells, 423; but my suspic. is very strong, that the m.
was with John, the s. for she was under 17 yrs. at that time, and p. 932,
he gives countenance to that conject. for he makes John jr. have w. of
that name. He was selectman 1664 and 72, and d. 2 Sept. 1690.
MUNNING, Watertown, s. of the preced. m. 15 or 18 Dec. 1681, Sarah,

Dec. 1671; and by w. Mary, that d. 2 Dec. 1699, had Ann, 14 Mar.
1674, as giv. by Butler, but by Bond one yr. earlier, and he also thinks
a s. Nathaniel.  Aft. the dispers. by the Ind. wars, there may have been
others.  At G. his fam. name has been large. diffus.
  SAWYER, EDMUND, Ipswich 1636, rem. bef. 1661 to York.  EDWARD, 
Rowley 1643, had w. Mary, and s. John. EZEKIEL, a soldier
of "the flower of Essex," k. by the Ind. at Bloody brook, 18 Sept.

Apr. 1683, d. young; Jonathan, 4 Mar. 1685; Daniel, 13 June 1687;
John, again, 10 Sept. 1688, d. next yr. was, perhaps, the freem. of 1681,
print. in Paige's list, Sanyde, and in Shurtleff's Col. Rec. Sawyer. In
the Paige catal. he is call. of Rowley, and there was tax. 1691, but he

too young.  JOSHUA, Woburn, s. of Thomas of Lancaster, m. 2 Jan.
1678, Sarah Potter, had Abigail, b. 17 May 1679; Joshua, 20 June
1684; Sarah, 4 July 1687; Hannah, 15 Nov. 1689; Martha, 26 Apr.

Ann had Ann, b. 1 Aug. 1687; Daniel, 28 Jan. 1689; and Enoch, 22
[[31]]
June 1694. THOMAS, Lancaster 1647, one of the first six sett. had
been, I think, of Rowley 1643, freem. 1654, by w. Mary, d. of John
Prescott, had Thomas, b. July 1649; Ephraim, 2 Jan. 1651, wh. was k.
by the Ind. 10 Feb. 1676; Mary, 7 Jan. 1653; Elizabeth 7 Jan. 1654;
Joshua, Mar. 1655; James, Mar. 1657; Caleb, Apr. 1659; John, Apr.

Ipswich, s. of the first William, rem. to Wells, by w. Sarah had Joseph,
b. 14 Aug. 1678; Francis, 6 Mar. 1681; Daniel, 26 May 1683; Hannah,
9 Apr. 1685; and Ruth, 26 May 1687; and he d. 7 June 1718. His wid.
d. Jan. 1734, aged 84.  Oft. this name seems Sawer, and Sayer. Ten 
are among gr. at Harv. ten at Dart. and one at Yale.
   SAXTON, or SEXTON, DANIEL, Westfield, perhaps s. of George, m.
28 Dec. 1680, Sarah, d. of John Bancroft, had Nathaniel, b. 22 Dec.
foll. d. in 3 days; and Sarah, 6 Mar. 1683.  GEORGE, Windsor, had
John, b. there 26 May 1673, went back to Westfield, where he had liv.
bef. and had Benjamin, a. 1667, said to be the first white b. in that place,
wh. also liv. to old age, but Joseph bef. him, and prob. George earlier
still, bef. W. was plant. and in 1688 sold to Joseph and Benjamin his
est. there for L160., his w. Catharine join. in the deed, and he d. a. 1690.
GEORGE, Westfield, s. prob. eldest of the preced. had, by w. that d. 19
Sept. 1689, Charles, b. 9 Sept. 1680; and Nathaniel, 5 Dec. 1682; and
rem. to Newtown, L. I.  GILES, Boston or Charlestown, prob. arr. in
the fleet with Winthrop for on 18 Sept. 1630, he was a witness bef. the
coroner as to d. of William Bateman in the harb. near Pullen point, and
on 28 of same serv. on inq. at Charlestown on the case of Austin
Bratcher, k. by Walter Palmer; req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. foll. when the
title Mr. is bef. his name, and was sw. 18 May next without that prefix.
My conject. is that he soon went home, and that Deane was wrong in
suppos. him the min. to wh. the Magnalia, III. 214, could not give
Christian name, or tell time of com. or go. Better informa. is now
enjoy.  JAMES, Westfield, perhaps s. of George the first, or of Richard,
by w. Hannah had John, b. 28 Jan. 1681; Hannah, 29 Oct. 1683;
Phebe, 7 Jan. 1687; Elizabeth 5 Feb. 1689, wh. d. at 3 mos.; Mary, or

of Richard, m. 30 July 1677, Mary Hill, d. of Luke, had Mary, b. 4
May foll. rem. to Simsbury, and had Richard and John.  JOSEPH,
Stonington, m. Hannah, d. of capt. George Denison of the same, had
Jerusha, and Mercy; but of him I hear no more, exc. that he was a
capt.  JOSEPH, Westfield, s. of George the first, m. 1690, Hannah, d. of
the first Abel Wright of the same, had Gershom; Hannah, b. 1692;
Joseph, 1694; Mindwell, 1696; Daniel, 1700, and Ezekiel, 1704; rem.
to Enfield, and had Charles, 1708; and d. 1742, says Dr. Pease in the
careful contribut. to Hinman, aged 76. PETER, Scituate 1640, aft. rem.
of Lothrop, was from Yorksh. bred at Trinity Coll. Cambridge, where
he proceed. A. M. 1603, adm. by Archbp. Hutton bef. 1606 to holy
orders, liv. but few mos. in our country, and was not ord. yet may well
be thot. one of the four min. that went home with dep.-gov. Humfrey,
Dec. 1641, whose pious exclama. in the storm is so well told by Mather.
Considera. offer was tender. him of good liv. in Kent; but, prefer. his
native shire, he gain. the valua. vicarage of Leeds, to wh. the triumph
of his party sent him in Apr. 1646, and there he d. 1 Oct. 1651. When
here, his d. Silence m. capt. Samuel Pool. See Brook's Lives of the
Puritans, III. 139. RICHARD, Windsor 1643, not early eno. to have
been at Dorchester, yet said to have come in the ship Blessing, but the
more important fact would have been a date, m. 16 Apr. 1646, Sarah
Cook, perhaps sis. of Nathaniel, had Sarah, b. 23 Mar. 1648; John, 4
Mar. 1650; Mary, 27 Feb. 1652; Richard, 1 Mar. 1655, wh. fell in the

Jan. 1659; Francis, 11 or 17 Jan. 1662, d. at 4 yrs. He d. 3 May
1662, and his wid. d. 13 June 1674; but in Stiles's Hist. 770, the ds. of
h. and w. are exchang. in date.  Sarah had bef. the latest date, perhaps 
Oct. 1668, Robert Roath of Norwich; and Mary m. George
Saunders. THOMAS, Boston, miller, by w. Lucy had Mary, b. 2 Jan.
1645; and John, 29 June 1647. He m. 10 Mar. 1652; as sec. w. Ann,
wid. of Herman Atwood. of William Copp, had Samuel, 8 Oct. 1653,
whose gr.st. tells his d. 21 July 1693; Joseph, 9 May 1656; Nathaniel,

2 wks. aft. By a third w. Mary, he had Benjamin, 18 May 1664; and
Mary, 9 Jan. 1666; and he d. 31 July 1686.
   SAYER, SAYERS, or SAYRE, DANIEL, JOB, and FRANCIS, at Southampton, 
L. I. 1673, had, perhaps, rem. from Lynn, at least one Job
was there 1635, and the others may have been his brs. or s. ICHABOD,
New London, s. of Francis, m. 1697, Mary, d. of Hugh Hubbard, and
this was the first m. says Miss Caulkins, solemniz. by Gov. Saltonstall.
[[33]]
JAMES, from Northbourne, Co. Kent, came, 1635, in the Hercules from
Sandwich, but we kn. not where he sat down. JAMES, Gloucester, by
w. Sarah had Nathaniel, b. 29 Dec. 1677; and Abraham, 5 Nov. 1680.
JOHN, Falmouth, sold 1655, to Isaac Walker of Boston, that isl. call.
Long Isl. in Casco Bay. THOMAS, Lynn 1635, one of the purch. 1640,
of Southampton, L. I. may be the freem. of 22. May 1639, giv. on rec.
Say or Says; and also may be f. of one or more of the first nam. sett. at
S.  Conject. is unsatisfact. when Shurtleff and Paige differ in spell. of
the names, and confid. is still less indulg. as to the surname of two syl.
when ano.  THOMMAS is found in the will of Stephen Lincoln, at Hingham,
1658.  See Geneal. Reg. IX. 38.
   SAYLE, or SAYLES, JOHN, Providence 1645, in list of freem. 1655,
next yr. town clk. by w. Mary had Mary, b. July 1652; and John,
17 Aug. 1654; and prob. others; in May 1666, sw. alleg. to Charles II.

May 1689; John, 10 Jan. 1692; Richard, 24 Oct. 1695; Daniel, 13
Dec. 1697; and Thomas, 9 Feb. 1699; and d. 2 Nov. foll. WILLIAM,
Boston, a trans. visit. in 1646, wh. had been Gov. at Bermuda, was so
happy as to attend Cotton's lecture on Thursday, 5 Nov. in that yr. and
soon aft. sail. for London. Out of incid. in that Thursday lecture advert.
to, sprang two tracts of antagonist spirit, "N. E.'s Jonas cast up at Lonon," 
by Dr. Child, and "N. E.'s Salamander," by Edward Winslow,
and this latter appeal. to Gov. Seyle as witness against the story told
by c.  Five yrs. later he was sent by the Eng. governm. to plant at
Eleutheria, one of the Bahamas, as is told by Winthrop II. 334, and I presume 
the same gent. was, in 1670, Gov. in Carolina, under royal commiss. 
of 26 July 1669, where prob. he d. 1671.
  SAYWARD, or SAYWORD, EDMUND, Ipswich 1635.  HENRY, Hampton 
1646, Portsmouth 1650, soon aft. at York, there was constable 1664,
perhaps had s. John, and Samuel, wh. there took o. of alleg. 1681, and

RICHARD, New Hampsh. 1662.
   SAYWELL, DAVID, Boston, perhaps s. of Robert, m. 15 Aug. 1660,

d. 1662, in his will of 7 Jan. nam. w. Elinor, and these six ch. Samuel
[[34]]
was liv. 1719, aged 73; but John d. 1664; and William d. four yrs. aft.
his f. hav. lost a s. William, it is said of lawful age, the yr. preced. but
this seems rather strange.  The name is Chaddock, in Folsom, wh. perhaps, 
foll. Sullivan in Hist. 218 and 19.
   SCALES, JOHN, Rowley 1648.  MATTHEW, k. by the Ind. at Hatfield,
25 Aug. 1675, may not have been an inhab. but a soldier from the E.
WILLIAM, Rowley, freem. 13 May 1640.
   SCAMMON, SCAMMAN, or SCAMMOND, HUMPHRE, Kittery, or Saco,
perhaps both, m. Elizabeth d. of the first Dominicus Jordan, had Humphrey,
b. 10 May 1677; Elizabeth; Mary; Rebecca; and Samuel. JOHN, Kittery,
perhaps s. of William, certain. br. of Humphrey and of Richard, as
also of Elizabeth w. of Peter Lidgett, had Elizabeth but wh. was his w. the diligence

Richard; William, b. 29 Feb. 1664; Jane, 21 June or July 1667;
Prudence, 29 Aug. 1669; Elizabeth 22 Apr. 1671; and Mary, 31 May
1673.  He escap. the Ind. war by liv. at Exeter 1677; and both h. and
w. were there 21 Apr. 1691.  Jane m. Thomas Deane of Boston, and d.
9 Oct. 1726.  WILLIAM, Boston 1640, prob. rem. soon, may have been
ancest. of the disting. fam. but nothing can be ascertain.
  SCAMP, ROBERT, Gloucester, m. 25 Dec. 1661, Joan, d. of John
Collins, had Mary, b. 25 Nov. foll. and his w. d. next 9 Nov. and he d.
23 Apr. 1691.  I suggest, that possib. this name may have been Stamp,
for in old rec. t and c are much alike.
  SCANT, WILLIAM, Braintree, m. 29 Mar. 1654, Sarah Brown, had
William, b. 16 Mar. foll.; Thomas, 11 Apr. 1657; Sarah, 5 Sept. 1660;

   SCARBOROUGH, or SCARBARROW, JOHN, Roxbury 1639, freem. 13
May 1640, unless the Col. rec. of Shurtleff, I. 377, justify an earlier
date of four days, wh. must seem very improb. for the regular day of

his w. and sis. Dennis. All these, I think, refer to Christian soc. but
she ment. her own ch. Mary, Margaret, and Joseph; and when she nam.
br. Samuel in Eng. she means, I suppose, kinsm. and may have been
f. of this apprent.  Yet, as to the fam. of the testator, I see no more
light. JOHN, Sringfield 1640, was then constable, rem. to Boston
1650, by w. Thomasine had Mary and Jane, tw. b. 21 Sept. 1653; perhaps 
John, 1657, wh. d. young; Thomasine, 18 May 1660; John and
Samuel, tw. 16 Apr. 1664; and Elizabeth 18 Nov. 1667; and by Farmer, in
MS.geneal. was, I think, mistak. for his br. Samuel.  His will, of 16 Feb.
1688, pro. 21 Mar. foll. gives to his w. to d. Thomasine Taylor, and
to gr.s. James Fryer; so that my conject. is, that ano. of his ds. had m.
James, only s. of Hon. Nathaniel F. ROBERT, Salem 1635, perhaps
br. of Benjamin, was that yr. sentenc. to be whip. for run. from his
master. SAMUEL, Boston 1664, br. of John, master of a sh. from London 
to B. with his w. join. Mather's ch. 1672, was freem. and constable
1673, and was mort. inj. by explos. of a sh. in the harbor, 4 May 1675,
dy. in a few hours. He was b. in Kersey, Co. Suffk. he says in his will,
made that day, pro. 26 May foll. by wh. he dispos. of good amt. of prop.
but left no ch.
   SCATE, JOHN, Boston, by w. Sarah had John, b. 14 Apr. 1659.
   SCATHE, JOHN, Hingham, with Ann, perhaps a sis. are ment. in the
wills of John Merrick and of his wid. Elizabeth 1647 and 9. prob. they
were serv. but he was in Boston, prob. 1674, a cordwainer, and in 1678
sold lds. at H. to William Hersey, writ. his name John Skeath.
   SCHRICK, PAULUS, Hartford, one of the little colo. of Dutch from
New York, that had plant. bef. the Eng. went thither.  He m. 30 Dec.
1658, Mary, wid. of Josephus Ambeck, d. of Caspar Varleet; but no
issue is ment.
   SCILIAN, BENJAMIN, and JOSEPH, unless surname be mistak. as I
suspect, were of Ipswich 1683.
   SCOFIELD, SCOVIL, SCOVEL, SCHOFEL, or SKOFIELD, ARTHUR,
Middletown, a propr. 1671, by w. Rachel m. 17 Dec. 1690, at Lyme, had
Arthur, b. 13 Jan. 1692; and James, 9 Jan. 1694, wh. d. in few wks.
and the f. d. 24 June foll. ARTHUR, Middletown, s. of the preced. by
w. Elizabeth m. Feb. 1711, had James, b. 18 Jan. 1712; and Elizabeth 26 July
1715. BENJAMIN, Haddam, perhaps s. of John, by w. Ann had Edward, 
b. 9 Apr. 1704; Sarah, 9 Oct. 1706; and Amie, 14 Mar. 1709.

   DANIEL, Stamford 1641, one of the first sett. d. 1671, leav. ch. Daniel,
John, Richard, Joseph, Sarah, w. of John Pettit; and Mary or Mercy.
His wid. Sarah bec. third w. of Miles Merwin, and is nam. in his will.
His two eldest s. liv. many yrs. at Stamford, and left num. progeny; but

Mary, Elizabeth William, and Ebenezer, and d. 12 Dec. 1712. RICHARD,
Ipswich 1648, came in the Susan and Ellen, aged 22, from London, may
have been of Stamford 1650, and d. 1671, and the same, whose wid. m.

1670, a trader at S. 1689-1701; and, perhaps, other ch.  Great vexation 
has attend. my desire to avoid confus. of families under such various
spell. and it would not be easy for a congress of those with so hard a
name, in our days, to make out the derivat. of the mem.
  SCOLLEY, or SCHOLLEY, JOHN, Malden 1674, then 33 yrs. old, had
liv. at Charlestown, m. Hannah, d. of James Barrett, had John, b. 20
June 1665; Hannah, 3 Apr. 1669; James, Oct. 1671; Mary, Feb.

His wid. d. 2 Feb. 1707.
  SCOTT, BENJAMIN, Braintree, had, perhaps b. in Eng. Hannah, wh.

wk.; rem. to Rowley bef. 1652, there had Samuel, 1655, and two ds.;
was freem. 1665, and d. 1671.  Of ano. BENJAMIN of Braintree, we
kn. only, that his will of 7 Oct. 1683, pro. 29 Apr. foll. refers to no w.
or ch. but gives all his est. to br. Peter until the eldest s. of Peter come
of age. BENJAMIN, Rowley, s. of the first Benjamin, m. Susanna
Searle, had John, b. 1681; Joseph, 1682; Benjamin, 1687; Samuel,
1692.  EDMUND, Farmington 1649, by first w. had seven ch. was
freem. 1669, had two more ch. by sec. w. Elizabeth wid. of Thomas Upson,
but the date of ms. or bs. for neither is told.  From his will of 11 June
[[37]]
1690, we gain the names of all, Edmund; Samuel, b. 1660; Jonathan; 
George; David; Robert; Joseph; Elizabeth Davis; and Hannah, w.
of John Brunson; yet we shall not be justif. in suppos. this to be the
order of success. exc. that the two s. last nam. were by sec. w. nor will
conject. be reasona. to determine the priority of the d. whose h.'s name
is not seen. Positive informat. however, is afford. on two points, that he
was an orig. propr. of Waterbury, and there d. 1691.  EDMUND, Waterbury, 
s. of the preced. m. June 1689, the wid. of Benjamin Porter, who d. 17 Jan. 
1749, had a s. b. Oct. 1690, wh. d. in few wks.; Sarah, 29 Jan. 1692; Samuel,

ask. for gr. at New London 1651, yet did not impr. it, when giv.
not however tempt. towards Hadley, where he first is heard of as serv.
of Joseph Kellogg 1662, and where was ano. EDWARD, wh. was he
prob. that m. 1670, Elizabeth Webster, perhaps d. of Gov. John, had Elizabeth
b. 1671; Sarah, 1674; Thomas, 1675; John, 1677; Ebenezer, 1681;
Bridget and Ann, tw. 1682; and Hannah, 14 Mar. 1689. His w. d.
two days aft. aged 40; and he rem. perhaps to New Haven, where one
Edward was excus. in 1703 from train. in the milit. so leav. us to infer,
that he was over 60 yrs. of age. GEORGE, New Haven, a gunsmith,
in 1690, had not, nor any other of this surname, been propr. 1685.
GEORGE, Waterbury, s. of Edmund, m. Aug. 1691, Mary, d. of Obadiah
Richards, had Obadiah, George, and William; and d. 26 Sept. 1724.
JOHN, the freem. in Mass. of 22 May 1639, then spelt in Secr.'s list with
a k, and JOHN, the freem. of 10 May 1643, aft. many hours of very dilig.
scrutiny, elude my skill in search. for the resid. of either; but strong
reasons lead me  to believe that neither of them was of the three foll.
JOHN, Salem, 1648, serv. of Lawrence Southwick, the Quaker, may have
gone to Providence, and by w. Rebecca there had Sarah, b. 29 Sept.
1662; John, 14 Mar. 1664; Mary, 1 Feb. 1666; Catharine, 20 May
1668; Deborah, 24 Dec. 1669; and Syvanus, 10 Nov. 1672. He took
o. of alleg. to Charles II. in 1668. JOHN, Charlestown 1658, d. 25 Jan.
1682, aged 75, says the gr.st. JOHN, Springfield, m. 20 July 1659, Sarah,
d. of Thomas Bliss, had Sarah, b. 19 Oct. 1663; John, 4 Jan. 1666, perhaps, 
but the last fig. is uncert.; Hannah, 16 Oct. 1668; Margaret, 8
Feb. 1671; Ebenezer, 3 Aug. 1673, William,  8 Aug. 1676; Mary, 29
Dec. 1678; rem. to Suffield, there had Elizabeth 2 Sept. 1683; and he d. 2
Jan. 1690.  His wid. m. the same yr. Samuel Terry, and d. 27 Sept.
1705.  Of the s. William only, one of the first sett. at Palmer, had ch.
Sarah m. 9 Feb. 1680, Benjamin Leonard; Hannah m. 31 Oct. 1695,

July 1701, Ebenezer Nash; and Elizabeth m. 1708, Jonathan Worthington.

JOHN, of Newtown, Southold, or other L. I. town, was very active for
the honor of the k. in 1663, but in Apr. or May 1664, was tak. by Conn.
officers and carr. to prison at Hartford, heavi. fined, and disfranchis. as
a defamer of his majesty, &c., &c. JOHN, Roxbury, m. 29 May 1672,
Hannah Duncan, or Dunkin, perhaps d. of Samuel, had Hannah, b. 24
July 1674, d. soon; John, 11 Nov. 1675, d. soon; Sarah, d. soon; Hannah, 
again, 18 Aug. 1678; Mary, 28 July 1679, d. in two days; Margaret,

1683, d. soon.; Sarah, 9 Nov. 1684, d. next day; and John, again, 9
July  1686.  Perhaps he was of Johnson's comp. in the Narraganset
campaign, Dec. 1675.  His w. d. 1 Jan. 1706, if the rec. that calls her
Sarah, be good.  JONATHAN, Waterbury, s. of Edmund, m. Nov. 1694,

Farmington, s. of Edmund, d. 1708, leav. s. John.  PETER,
Braintree, br. of the sec. Benjamin, by w. Abigail had Benjamin, b.
24 Sept. 1674; Peter; and John; was freem. 1685. RICHARD, Boston, 
shoemaker, join. our ch. 28 Aug. 1634, yet his w. Catharine, d.
of Rev. Edward Marbury (as Bishop, in N. E. Judged tells), did not
unite, nor either, of the ch. Richard, John, Mary, or Patience, tho.
Ann Hutchinson, their aunt, and her sis. had so great sway in it.  To
this w. Gov. Winthrop I. 293, ascribes much power in giv. light on
believers' bapt. to Roger Williams, 1638, at Providence, where he was
rem. 1637, bef. the time of disarm. heretic favorers of Hutchinson.
He is on the list of freem. 1655, and was among the Quaker converts
1658, and his w. "an ancient woman," was imprison. and whip. at
Boston for benevol. serv. in diffus. her opinions, and her ds. Mary and
Patience also were imprison. by equal impolicy. Mary m. 12 Aug.

June, bapt. 10 July 1659, H. C. 1677; and Sarah; was of ar. co. 1645,

transact. with our governm. 1654-7, and a great propr. aft. Philip's war
at Scarborough, capt. of the garrison and magistr. in that region. He
was heedless. or cruel. charg. with murder of Nathan Bedford, 1681,
shown to be casual. drown. as in the Maine Hist. Col III. may be read.
As author of two very curious tracts a. the early hist. of N. E. publish.
1691 and 4, he is oft. quot. and, at the age of 83, he d. 20 Jan. 1698, as
tells the gr.st. that was transfer. from the early bur. yd. to the inside of
the tower of the O. S. or 3d ch. See Genealogy, Reg. V. 78. His d.

Blackman; and Mary m. capt. Samuel Checkley, as by his will of 23
June 1696, pro. 3 Mar. 1698, is seen; beside wh. it gives adeq. provis.

John, and other ch. without naming.  THOMAS, Scarborough, s. of Joshua
the first, sw. alleg. 1681.
  SCOVIL, SCOVALL, SCOVEL, or SCOVELL, JOHN, Waterbury, s. of

WILLIAM, Haddam, sett. there soon aft. 1668, says Field, 65, to wh.
Hinman, 231, adds, that he d. 1712. That may refer to first John. See
Scofield, with wh. name I have been much embarrass. to disting. one
from ano. and can but fear, that little success has foll. my perplexity.

   SCRANTON, DENNIS, New Haven 1660, m. Sarah, wid of 
Nicholas Munger, gave informat. perhaps rather minute, than 
trustworthy, about Whalley and Goffe, to Gov. Endicott's pursuivants 
in 1661.  See Hutch. Coll. 335 for the curious codum.  But they mistook 
the name, and should have writ. Crampton. JOHN, Guilford 1650, 
whose w. Joanna d. 1651, is among freem. of 1669. For sec. w. 
he took Adeline, wid. in 1663 of Robert Hill, as in 1661 she had 
been of Robert Johnson; but prob. had no ch. by her, and d. 27
Aug. 1671, leav. ch. Thomas, John, and Sarah; and his wid. d. 1685.

1692; Ann, 23 Dec. 1693; Ebenezer, 16 Mar. 1696; and Deborah, 3
Dec. 1697. John d. young; but other seven ch. were liv. 1703, at d. of

and d. at Wethersfield, 13 Mar. 1693, in his will giv. prop. to William
Goodrich, as Hinman, 232, tells; yet it is more prob. that there was no
such Nataniel S. and that the testator's name was Crampton. THOMAS, 
Guilford, s. of the first John, was propos. for freem. 1676, and next
yr. accept.; had two ws. first, Deborah Thompson, wid. of Ebenezer,
and sec. Elizabeth Goodrich; but had only two ch. that grew up to mature
life, Samuel, and Hannah.

Eastman.  WILLIAM, Kittery, had w. Bridget in 1680, was rep. 1681,

found. of a Bapt. ch. there 1682, in wh. he was a teacher, but aft. some
yrs. went to South Carolina, and d. 1713, aged, as is said, 84.
  SCROOP, ADRIAN, Hartford, witness to execut. of a deed of 31 Mar.
1665, and, again, 8 May 1667 sign. as witness, his name, in a very elegant
hand, to deed of Simon Wolcott to Richard Loud of three parcels of ld.
wh. was put on rec. 3 days aft. yet no more is ever told of him. Curiosity 
to a high pitch naturally is felt on two points in this case, when
did he come to our country, and what did he do aft. sign. that rare
name. One Adrian Scrope, we kn. had been execut. in London, 17
Oct. 1660, for hav. sat on the pretend. trial of k. Charles I. and sign.
the warrant for his d. In Noble's Regicides the rep. of his trial is very
full, much more than most of the others. Strong prob. from union of
such giv. name and surname arises, that this man was s. or near relat. of
the regicide; and Dr. Stiles, in the latter part of his extraord. book
relative to the three judges, that found shelter at New Haven, appeals to
proof from hd. writ. in the fac-simile of the death warrant of Charles and
the rec. of this deed at Hartford, for, strange as it seems, the attestation
of the deed is by the witnesses on the rec. itself as well as on the docum.
The Doctor's eye saw more than mine, and he appears almost satisf. with
the identity of the writing, as if Col. Scrope were in person at H. six
yrs. and a half aft. his head was cut off. Between 29 Jan. 1649, when
he affix. his hd. and seal to that writ, order. the subord. officer. at such an
hour next day to put the k. to d. and this Hartford act 8 Mar. 1667, I
would not affirm, that Col. Scrope's writing could not vary much, had not
the solemn execution of the 17 Oct. 1660 interven. Stiles was a man
of wonderful capacity of belief, and the estimate of his judgment in
this matter is reduced by a mistake of the name of the other witness in
this very docum. writ. Reeve, but by the President made Robert Pierce.
Beside, the differece of names between the London sufferer, wh. used
but one o, and our Hartford witness that doubled the letter, is not ment.
  SCRUGGS, THOMAS, Salem, came with the few companions of Endicott 
in the Abigail, 1628, says Felt, yet this relies solely on tradit. and
might seem to early, for he did not take o. of freem until 2 Sept 1635;
but he was esteem. eno. to be chos. to three Gen. Cts. next yr. also
authoriz. with others to hold special Ct. for the vicinage, and was a
selectman. But for his heretic. pravity he was next yr. supersed. and
in Nov. disarm. as a danger. man, like the majority of Boston ch.
I suppose he had w. Margery, and that he d. early in 1652; and that
Felt mistook his name as if it were William; and that, as the wid. gave
up to her s.-in-law John Raymond in June 1652 her est. in dower, she
may have gone home, or perhaps was the woman that d. 26 Jan. 1663.

Ebenezer was k. by the Ind. 21 July 1706, at Groton. Butler, in Hist.
96, gives the name Leger, but that is only mistake of the author's
handrit. by the print. LAWRENCE, came to Boston in the James from
Southampton, 1635, a youth of 17, and no more is kn. of him. RICHARD, 
Hartford 1650, had Elizabeth b. in June of that yr.; also had Richard,
John, and Ebenezer, wh. was drown. 1669. He was adm. freem. of
Conn. May 1657, and may have been of Stonington, for a good w. S. is
ment. in 1668, as adher. of the jurisdict. R. I. and the Conn. (Stonington) 
freem. of 1669 has not his name. His w. Elizabeth was indict. 1663
for "familiarity with Satan," and practis. witchcr. but tho. the jury
found her in Mar. guilty of the familiarity, the wiser Ct. set her free in
May 1666, "the verdict of the jury not answer. to the indictm. legally."
Aft. this prob. the fam. rem. to R. I. where, I presume, the devil had
less power or impudence. To Elizabeth S. in his will of 25 July 1655, John
Moody of Hartford gave L25., and it may be suppos. therefore, that the

   SEDGWICK, ROBERT, Charleston 1636, prob. came 1635 in the
Truelove, aged 24, tho. in the custom-ho. rec. the name appears Jo. inst.
of Ro. join. the ch. with w. Joanna, on 27 Feb. 1637, and was made
freem. 9 Mar. foll. when he was appoint. capt. for the town by our Ct.
and chos. next mo. rep. and aft. for sixteen Cts. more. His neighb.
capt. Edward Johnson, in Wonder work. Provid. c. 26 of book ii., the
most valua. of that curious vol. assures us, that he was "nurst up in
London's Artil. garden;" and our rec. show, that he was one of the
found. of our art. co. 1638, its capt. 1640, command. of the castle 1641,
head of the regim. of Middlesex 1643, and last. maj.-gen. of the Col.
soon aft. call. by O. Cromwell to milit. serv. with John Leverett (aft. our
Gov.) for his sec. and bef. long time sent to Jamaica, recent. conquer.
There he d. 24 May 1656. Joanna, the Gen.'s wid. was liv. 1667 at
Stepney, near London.  By her he had Samuel, bapt. 31 Mar. 1639;
and Hannah, 14 Mar. 1641; beside William, and Robert, wh. prob.
were his ch. and Sarah, b. certain. in Eng. as may have been these s.
Certainty is beyond our reach, bec. rec. of town is imperfect, and the
ch. rec. of bapt. from 20 Sept. 1642 to 4 July 1658 is a total. sad blank
space.  Our Charlestown soldier, in letters of Nov. 1655, pray. leave to
come from Jamaica to London, recommends his w. and five ch. to the
kindness of the Lord Protector, and we have only to regret, that his
pathetic appeal was disregard. Frothingham, 135-9, is copius and
correct. Sarah bec. sec. w. of Gov. Leverett. Whether she were sis.
or d. might be disput. and this point that Mather ought to have elucidat.
is confus. by him.  Yet high is the prob. if her d. 2 Jan. 1705 is accomp.
with correct statem. that she was 74 yrs. old, that she was b. in Eng.
and was eldest ch. of the disting. soldier. ROBERT, Charlestown, s. of
the preced. as confident. is presum. b. prob. in Eng. by w. Sarah had
William, b. 9 June 1676; and Sarah, 19 Dec. 1677. He d. on a
return voyage from Jamaica, leav. trifl. est. of wh. admin. was giv. to
his wid. Sarah, 26 Apr. 1683. SAMUEL, br. of the preced. was of
Charlestown not long, but chief. liv. at London, had w. Elizabeth prob. hoped
to obt. some reward for serv. of his f. but long bef. his m. he was witness
to the will, 17 June 1657, of Jonathan Wade of our Ipswich, then at L.
and it is curious, that his signature was pro. in Eng. by his wid. 1 Dec.
1683, then aged only 33 yrs. and she says he was her h. six yrs.
"Citizen and clothworker of London," he calls hims. in a deed of 20
May 1667, whereby he sold his ho. and ld. in C. to Francis Willoughby.
SAMUEL, Hartford, only ch. of William of the same, m. 1689, Mary, d.
[[49]]

and d. 24 Mar. 1735. His wid. d. 4 Sept. 1743. He was gr.f. of the
Hon. Theodore, speaker of the Ho. of Rep. in Congr. of the U. S. a. 65
yrs. since, and aft. a judge of S. J. C. in Mass. and progenit. of many
amiab. and disting. writers that have adorn. the name in our coutry.
WILLIAM, Hartford, s. of the first Robert, may have been b. in Eng. m.
Elizabeth youngest d. of Rev. Samuel Stone, had Samuel, b. 1667; but he
had prob. been ruin. in morals by serv. in the army of Eng. and aft.
many yrs. of abandonm. of his w. as she alleg. in petitn. for div. May
1673, the Gen. Ct. of Conn. Oct. 1674, releas. her from the "unchristian 
bondage."  She m. John Roberts, but tho. she had s. John, was
not much better sort. with the new h. yet liv. with him, 1695, on L. I.
Of S. little more is kn. exc. that he sold, 7 Sept. 1668, all right in est.
of his f. to Francis Willoughby. Yet an obscure report was circulat.
that he d. on return from the W. I. to Boston.
  SEDLEY, JAMES, was, says Farmer, early sett. at Weymouth; but I
kn. nothing of him.
  SEELEY, JOHN, Isle of Shoals 1647, was, perhaps, aft. at Newbury.
JOHN, Fairfield, perhaps s. of Robert, m. bef. 1691, Sarah, d. of George
Squire. NATHANIEL, New Haven 1646, s. of Robert, m. at Fairfield,
1649, or earlier, Mary, d. of Benjamin Turney, rem. to F. was freem.

Gilbert, former. wid. of Nehemiah Olmstead, serv. as lieut. in Philip's
war, 1675, and was k. at the head of his comp. in the gr. swamp fight,
19 Dec.  A gr. was made next yr. to his wid.  Nine ch. all, I presume,
by first w. were left, Nathaniel, Robert, Benjamin, Joseph, John, Mary,
Sarag, Phebe, and Rebecca.  OBADIAH, Stamford, prob. s. of Robert,
m. the wid. of John Miller of S. but d. 1657, leav. wid. and ch. Obadiah,
Cornelius, and Jonas. ROBERT, Watertown, prob. came in the fleet
with Winthrop for his req. of adm. was in Oct. 1630, and he took the o. of
freem. 18 May foll. was employ. as surveyor 1634, and in 1636 rem. to
Wethersfield, was next yr. a lieut. in the Pequot war, perhaps short
time at New Haven 1639, and in 1646 had leave to go home, but in
few yrs. was again here, and in 1654 led the force of N. H. rais. for
serv. under Sedgwick and Leverett against the neighb. prov. of New
Netherlands, that was happi. prevent. by restor. of peace in Europe.
He was at Saybrook 1662, Stratford 1663, and the same yr. at Huntington, 
on L. I. in the head of the milit. but at New York aft. its conq. and
[[50]]
there d. His wid. Mary had admin. 19 Oct. WILLIAM, Isle of
Shoals, perhaps br. of John of the same, was of gr. jury 1656, d. at
Saco, 1672, says Folsom, 188, wh. tells, that his d. Emma m. John Ruel,
and Dorcas m. James Gibbins, jr. in 1668.
  SEKER, or SECKER, HENRY, a youth of 8 yrs. wh. came in the Speedwell 
from London, arr. at Boston 27 July 1656, perhaps was he that
sett. at Newton with name of Seager.
  SELDEN, or SELDON, JOSEPH, Hadley, s. of Thomas the first, m.
1677, Rebecca Church, d. of deac. Edward of Hatfield, had Rebecca, b.
1678; Esther, 1680, d. next yr.; Joseph, 1682; rem. to Deerfield, there
had Thomas, 1684; and Hannah; but in few yrs. was back at Hadley,
and had Mary, 5 Mar. 1689; Esther, again, 2 May 1691; Samuel, 17
May 1695; rem. once more to Lyme, there purchas. large est. and
part. in Haddam, had Sarah, bapt. 20 July 1712; and d. bef. 1 Feb.
1725, when this est. was div. by their own act to three s. Joseph and
Thomas of H. and Samuel of L. with five ds. Rebecca, w. of James
Wells; Mercy, w. of Isaac Spencer; Esther, w. of Jabez Chapman;
Hannah, w. of Daniel Brainard, all of H. and Sarah Selden of L.
THOMAS, Hartford 1639, freem. 1640, had Thomas, bapt. 31 Aug.
1645; John, wh. d. May 1650; Mary, 26 Mar. 1648 or 9; Esther, 3
Mar. 1650, d. next yr.; Joseph, 2 Nov. 1651; Hannah; and Sarah;
and d. bef. the end of 1655.  His will, of 14 Aug. names wid. Esther,
wh. m. Andrew Warner, and all the five ch. rem. to Hadley.  The mo.
d. 1693; Hannah, infirm, d. 1695; and Mary m. 12 Dec. 1666, John
Taylor. THOMAS, Hadley, s. of the preced. m. Felix, d. of William
Lewis the sec. of Farmington, had John, b. 16 June 1675; Thomas, 12
Nov. 1677, wh. was k. on that terrib. 29 Feb. 1704, at Deerfield; and
Ebenezer, 2 Mar. 1679 or 80; and d. at honora. age, 24 Nov. 1734.
His wid. was liv. 1738. Sometimes this name, of wh. twelve had been
gr. at Yale, two at Dart. none at Harv. in 1848, is seen under pervers.
as Selding.
  SELLAN, or SELLEN, THOMAS, Ipswich, allow. as inhab. by the Gen.
Ct. 11 June 1663, tho. they had order, 1 Apr. preced. that no person
should go to plant there exc. those already gone.  Possib. he rem. bef.
1638 to Braintree, at least no more at I. can be heard of him; and at B.
a rec. of d. is seen, 3 Dec. 1642, of Thomas Sellem, wh. may seem to
be this man.
  SELLOCK, SELLICK, SILIECK, or SELLECK, DAVID, Boston, soapboiler, 
by w. Susanna had David, b. 11 Dec. 1638; Jonathan, 20 May
1641; John, 21, bapt. 23 Apr. 1643; Nathaniel, 18, bapt. 27 July
1645; Joanna, 11 Dec. 1647; Elizabeth 1 Feb. 1652; and Susanna, 1653,
wh. d. soon; and he d. 1654, in Virg. His inv. of 6 Dec. in that yr.
[[51]]
shows fair est. in sum, yet very little beyond debts. How his name was
pervert. to Zullesh may be seen near the end of this vol.  DAVID, Boston,
merch. eldest s. of the preced. trad. to Barbados 1663. JOHN, Stamford,
br. of the preced. freem. 1670, was rich and enterpris. master of a vessel
to Eng. tak. May 1689 by the French, and never came home, yet his
est. was not administ. bef. 5 Mar. 1700.  By w. Sarah, d. of Richard
Law, he had Sarah, b. 22 Aug. 1669; David, 27 Dec. 1672; Nathaniel,
7 Apr. 1678; John, 7 June 1681; Susanna, 2 Feb. 1683; and Joanna,
31 May 1686.  His wid. d. 8 Nov. 1732.  JONATHAN, Stamford,
elder br. of the preced. m. Abigail, d. of Richard Law, had Jonathan, b.
11 July 1664; David, 27 Jan. 1666; and John, H. C. 1690, but he and
the other ch. with the mo. all d. bef. the f. wh. d. 10 Jan. 1713. By his
will he gave "the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew books" to Rev. John
Davenport, wh. had m. 1695, Martha, the wid. of his s. John, d. of
Nathan Gould.  He had been active in business, was innholder 1665,
freem. 1667, lieut. capt. and at last major, rep. 1670, and again 1675.
NATHANIEL, Boston, youngest br. of the preced. was apprent. to David
Evans, wh. in his will of 30 June 1663, left him £10. if he faithful.
discharg. his indent.  My conject. is, that this is the name giv. as
Lellock by the careless penman wh. copied the book used as a rec. of
births in Boston bef. 1690.
  SELMAN, JOHN, Pemaquid, took o. of fidel. to Mass. 1674.
  SEMOND, WILLIAM, Boston, by w. Ann, d. of George Barrell, had
Hannah, b. Sept. 1640, wh. is nam. in the will of gr.f. B.
  SENDALL, SAMUEL, Boston, first was at Newbury, as in his will he
says, "Edward Rawson brot. me into this country."  By w. Joanna had
Joanna, bapt. 21 Sept. 1651, wh. m. John Hunlock; and Mary, b. 13
Mar. 1653, wh. d. young.  Ano. w. Elizabeth in his will of 29 Sept. 1684,
pro. 8 Oct. next, describ. as "singular. comfortable, and good w. and
yokefellow," was provid. for by the contract of m. 4 Oct. 1684; yet he
gave something to her and also to her d. Abigail W. tho. most, of course,
to his d. Hunlock and ch.  The wid. had been third w. of John Warren,
and found ano. h. in John Hayward, the notary, and a fourth in Phineas
Wilson of Hartford.
  SENDEN, SAMUEL, Marblehead, a petitnr. 1668, against imposts,
freem. 1684.
  SENNOT.  See Sinnett.

of the first Matthew, m. 31 Dec. 1673, Rebecca, d. of John Picket of Stratford, 
propound. as freem. 1674, d. prob. bef. 1688, yet may have had sev.
ch.  MARK, Norwalk, s. of Matthew the first, suppos. eldest, perhaps b. in
Eng. m. Elizabeth youngest d. of Timothy Stanley, had Elizabeth b. 6 Dec. 1656;
Sarah, 18 Jan. 1659; perhaps others; was freem. 1664, constable 1669,

rep. 1672.  He took sec. w. prob. in Jan. 1693, Dorothy, wid. of Francis
Hall, d. of Rev. Henry Smith, and had been wid. of John Blakeman;
and d. 12 Aug. foll. For her fourth h. the wid. took deac. Isaac Moore,
first of Farmington, aft. of Norwalk. MATTHEW, or MATTHIAS, Dorchester 
1634, freem. Sept. of that yr. rem. prob. in 1638 to Windsor,
was one of the first sett. at Norwalk, a. 1654, there d. 1669, aft. 11 Oct.
the  date of certific. by the constable (wh. was his s. Mark), mak. return
of the freem. of the town.  Beside him, he left Matthew, Samuel, James,
and sev. ds.  MATTHEW, Norwalk, s. of the preced. in 1672 had sev.
ch. of wh. one was Matthew, and he, I believe, gave the same name to
one in the fourth generat. NICHOLAS, Windsor, thot. to be younger br.
of the first Matthew, came, at the age of 13, in the Elizabeth and Ann
from London, 1635, was of W. in 1640, so that we may suppose, he
had been at Dorchester, and rem. with him.  He was adm. freem. 1657,
and d. 1689, leav. no ch. SAMUEL, Norwalk, br. of James, m. Sept.
1663, Elizabeth d. of Walter Haite, had Sarah, b. Jan. 1665, wh. d. at 20

July 1671, Sarah Hale, had Elizabeth b. 27 June foll.; and Edward, 14 
July 1674; prob. rem. to Exeter 1677, d. 1684. HENRY, Newbury 
1635, had liv. 1623 at Manchester, Eng. it is said, also that he was 
eldest s. of Henry, Mayor of Coventry, and bapt. 8 Apr. 1576. His 
w. Coffin calls Ann Hunt, but in Col. rec. her name is Ellen, and his 
only ch. was Henry, old eno. to be sent over a yr. bef. his f. but perhaps 
he was s. of an earlier w. than this brot. from Eng.  No doubt the
s. would better have been pleas. had the f. contin. at home, for he was
dissatisf. with every body and thing, soon separat. from his w. disturb.
the ch. of Ipswich bef. he mov. to N. thence he rem. to Rowley, there
d. 1657, more than 80 yrs. old.  That he was insane, is the natur. conclusion, 
and the acts of governm. were injudic. See Col. Rec. I. 163,
233, and 286, beside the full relat. in Coffin, 61. HENRY, Newbury,
only s. of the preced. came, at the age of 20, in the Elizabeth Dorcas,

1665; and Dorothy, 29 Oct. 1668. He was a min. in Eng. but I do
not so mark. him, for he never officiat. here; but a let. to our Gov. from
the Lord Protecter; Richard, the wiser son of Oliver, during his brief
exalta. 23 Mar. 1659, fully proves it; and grow. from personal acquaint.
it is well worth perus. in Hutch. I. appx. xii.  He d. 16 May 1700, and

1687, d. in few mos. Joseph, 15, bapt. 19 Aug. 1688, H. C. 1707;
Judith, 13, bapt. 24 Aug. 1690, d. soon; Mary, 28 Oct. bapt. 1 Nov.
1691, ano. ch. 7, bapt. 13 Aug. 1696, d. soon; Sarah, 21, bapt. 25 Nov.
1694, d. young; one more, in 1696, d. very soon; and Judith, again, 2,
bapt. 4 Jan. 1702; so that only six of the fourteen ch. grew to maturity.
A sec. w. Abigail, d. of Jacob Meylen, wh. was wid. of William Tilley,
as she had been of James Woodmansey, m. 29 Oct. 1719, d. 26 May
foll. and a third w. m. 29 Mar. 1722, Mary, d. of Henry Shrimpton, wid.
of Robert Gibbs, ouliv. him; but neither had brot. him ch. Elizabeth m.
17 Oct. 1700, Grove Hirst, and d. 10 July 1716; Mary m. Samuel
Gerrish, and d. 16 Nov. 1710; and Judith, m. 12 May 1720, Rev. William 
Cooper, and d. 23 Dec. 1740.  Folly has never been gratif. by any
tradit. more than the story of the m. of this Judge S. as Hutch. I. 178,
tells, that he rec. with his first w. "as common. report. thirty thousand
pounds in N. E. shillings." Easy was it for credulity to accept the
addit. to that tale, that she was put into the scales against an equal load
of her f.'s coin. Slight arithmetic would prove, that f. an d. together
would scarce. balance one tenth of the silver; so that if we strike out
one of the cyphers from that 30000, and assume that dollars were the
[[56]]
true read instead of pounds, it might be less marvel. if equal. ridiculous.
Prob. he was the richest man in the Prov. at his d. yet he left no will,
and his admors. saw no use in return of inv.  Amicable partition, no
doubt, was suffic. for the heirs. SAMUEL, Brookline, s. of the preced. m.
15 Sept. 1702, Rebecca, eldest d. of Gov. Joseph Dudley, had Hull, b.
19 July 1703, d. in few mos.; Rebecca, 30 Dec. 1704, tho. Boston rec.

calls her) Storer, had John, b. 14 Aug. 1712, d. at 3 yrs.; Dummer, 12
Feb. 1715, d. at 21 yrs.; Lydia, 24 Jan. 1717; Mary, 30 May 1718, d.

1790, aged 92.  SAMUEL, Boston, eldest s. of Stephen the first, a
merch. m. 1 Jan. 1717, Catharine, wid. of Henry Howell, d. of Rev.
Samuel Lee, prob. had no issue.  But her two young ch. by H. were

Eng. and he prob. req. celebr. Dr. Watts to write a let. of condolence
to his w. that has been print. in Geneal. Reg. I. 91.  Poor Cotton
Mather had m. their aunt and was made admor. on est. of their f.
thereby caus. gr. trouble to hims. and unjust delay to the orphans. S.
was rep. sev. times aft. coming home, and d. 5 May 1757. STEPHEN,
Newbury, youngest s. of Henry the sec. b. in Eng. m. 13 June 1682,

b. 5 Jan. 1649,  wh. d. in 3 wks.; and Abigail, 14 Mar. 1650, and rem.
soon aft. but to what place is hard to decide, perhaps was at Wickford
[[57]]
1674; and wholly uncert. whence he came; and the spell. on rec. is
Sewill.  Wide. spread the name has not been in our country, tho. none
more honor. for gr. in 1849 at Harv. count. twenty-two, none at Yale,
and one at Dart.
  SEWARD, CALEB, Guilford, s. of William, m. 14 July 1686, Lydia,
d. of the sec. William Bushnell of Saybrook, had Daniel, b. 1687, d.
next yr.; Lydia, 1689; Caleb, 1692; Thomas, 1694; Noadiah, 1697; rem.
to Durham, and had Ephraim, 6 Aug. 1700, the first b. of that town;
and Ebenezer, 1703. He d. 2 Aug. 1728; and his wid. d. 1753.  EDWARD, 
Ipswich 1637, may have gone home, and been a soldier in the gr.
civil war 1643, and was serv. in the garrison of Chichester, Co. Sussex,
when he made his will, giv. prop. to kinsm. and friends at Selsey and
Chichester, but he came to our country again, in 1650 was of Guilford,
and d. a few yrs. aft. GEORGE, Guilford, was one of the orig.
covenant. 1668 at Branford, rem. it is suppos. last to Newark, N. J.
Perhaps he was br. of William.  JOHN, Guilford, eldest s. of William,
m. 25 June 1679, Abigail, eldest d. of the sec. William Bushnell, had
Abigail, b. 1680, d. young; John, 1682; William, 1684; Hezekiah,
1687; Abigail, again, 1689; Daniel, 1692; Deborah, 1694; Jedediah,

His wid. d. 1750. JOSEPH, Guilford, br. of the preced. m. Feb. 1681,
Judith, d. of the sec. William Bushnell, had Joseph, b. 1682, d. soon;
Judith, 1684; Mary, 1686, d. soon; Joseph, again, 1687; and Mary,

wid. d. 1740. RICHARD, Portsmouth, d. 1663, leav. ch. and gr.ch.
ROBERT, Exeter 1639, perhaps was br. of the preced. and resid. of
Pourtsmouth 1649.  ROGER, Boston 1655, a mariner.  WILLIAM,
Taunton 1643, whose name is by Baylies, II. 267, call. Edwards, was of
New Haven 1651, and m. 2 Apr. of that yr. Grace, d. of Thomas
Norton of Guilford, had Mary, b. 28 Feb. 1652; and soon aft. rem. to
G. there had John, 14 Feb. 1654; Joseph, 1655; Samuel, 20 Aug.
1659, d. young; Caleb, 14 Mar. 1662; Stephen, 6 Aug. 1664; Samuel,
again, 8 Feb. 1667, d. at. 22 yrs. in few days aft. his f.; Hannah, 8 Oct.
1670; and Ebenezer, 13 Dec. 1672; was a lieut. and rep. 1673 and 4,
had good est. and d. early in 1689, aged a. 62. His will was of 29 Mar.
of that yr. Mary m. John Scranton, but d. bef. her f. leav. three ch.;
Hannah m. Joseph Hand. Stephen outliv. his f. but d. without ch. bef.
his youngest br. wh. d. 19 Oct. 1701, by kick of a horse. Sometimes
this name is Seaward.
   SEXTON. See Saxton.
   SEYLE, FRANCIS, as giv. by Farmer for the freem. of 13 May 1640,
so print. by me in the earlier Ed. of Winthrop's Hist. and thus approv. by
[[58]]
Paige and Shurtleff in their lists, was not satisfact. and with gr. confid.
I chang. the letters to Lyle in the Ed. of Winthrop 1853, aft. severe
scrutiny of the orig. writ. in the rec. It seems almost certain, that it
stands for Fr. Lyall, the surgeon. See that name.
  SEYMOR, SEIMOR, SEAMOR, or SEAMER, JOHN, Hartford, s. of Richard, 
freem. 1667, m. Mary Watson, d. of John of H. had John, b.12
June 1666; Thomas, 12 Mar. 1669; Mary, Nov. 1670; Margaret, 17
Jan. 1675; Richard, 11 Feb. 1677; Jonathan, 10 Jan. 1679; Nathaniel,
6 Nov. 1680; and Zachary 10 Jan. 1685. MATTHEW, Norwalk, s. of
Thomas, was a lieut. 1718. RICHARD, Hartford 1639, but not an orig.
propr. rem. 1652 to Farmington, next to Norwalk, there was a selectman
1655, and d. 25 Nov. leav. Thomas, Richard, John, and Zechariah,
perhaps Mary, and Elizabeth b. June 1650; and wid. Mercy, wh. m. 22
Nov. 1656, John Steele, as his sec. w. In Genel. Reg. XII. 197, this
name is mistak. for Seger, as Mr. Porter says. I presume his sis. Mary
m. 29 Sept. 1644, Thomas Gridley. RICHARD, s. of the preced. was of
Farmington in the list of freem. 1669, by w. Hannah, d. of Anthony
Howkins, had Samuel; Ebenezer; Jonathan, bapt. 17 Apr. 1687; and
ds. Hannah; and Mercy, bapt. 14 Jan. 1683. THOMAS, Norwalk, s. of
Richard the first, was prob. b. in Eng. m. Jan. 1654, Hannah, d. of
Matthew Marvin, had Hannah, b. 12 Dec. foll.; Abigail, Jan. 1656,
wh. m. 16 Nov. 1676, Thomas Picket of Stratford; Mary and Sarah,
tw. Sept. 1658; Thomas, Sept. 1660; Mercy, Nov. 1666; Matthew,
May 1669; Elizabeth Dec. 1673; and Rebecca, Jan. 1676; was freem. 1668.
ZECHARIAH, Hartford, br. of the preced. was of Farmington, among
freem. of 1669, had ds. Mary, b. 1689; Elizabeth and Abigail, tw. 1692;
and Ruth, 1669; d. 1702, aged 60.  Of this name, in 1834, Farmer
notes in  MS. eleven had been gr. at Yale, and five at other N. E. coll.
but none at Harv. or Dart.
  SHACKFORD, or SCACKFORTH, WILLIAM, Dover 1662-72, was of the
gr. jury 1682, and a capt. prob. 1696, perhaps had a fam.
  SHADDUCK, or CHADDOCK, ELIAS, Windsor, m. Hannah, d. of John
Osborn, had only ch. Hannah, wh. m. 14 Mar. 1692, Benjamin West,
and d. 26 May 1676. His wid. m. 6 Mar. 1678, Benjamin Eggleston.
  SHAFLIN, MICHAEL, Salem, a tailor, from Salisbury, Co. Wilts, emb.
Apr. 1635 at Southampton in the James, may first have been of ano.
town, but in 1637 had gr. of ld. at S.; freem. 18 May 1642, had Catharine 
and Sarah by w. Elizabeth wh. is among memb. of the ch. 1639, and
she may be not the same, call. Alice in his will of 5 Apr. 1686, pro. 19
May 1687, made extrix. with gift of his est. in fee, pay. in four yrs. aft.
his d. (that occur. 12 Dec. 1686), six pounds to ea. of the ds. Catharine
King, and Sarah Stone; but wh. were hs. of those ds. is not kn.
[[59]]
  SHAKESPEAR, ISAAC, may be the name of a soldier, k. by the Ind. at
Northampton, 28 Sept. 1675, as in that acco. of Rev. Mr. Russell to our
Gen. Ct. of which Coffin's valua. Hist. 389, 90, gives copy. Uzackabee
Shacksbee is the name on town rec. as Mr. Judd assur. me, and he is
designat. as Praisever Turner's man. Possib. he was a friend. Indian,
not a few of wh. enjoy. the advantage of bear. arms in our cause; but
certain it is very unlike an Eng. or even Christian name.
  SHALER, SHALLOR, SHALIER, SHAILER, SHAYLER, or SHALLER,
MICHAEL, Boston, freem. 1690. THOMAS, Haddam, propound. for
freem. 1671, rem. to Killingworth, there had Nathaniel, b. 16 Dec. 1677;
went back to H. and had more, and Goodwin (wh. makes him m. 1673,
Alice, d. of Jared Spencer, wid. of Thomas Brooks), gives other ch. as
Thomas, a. 1674; Abel; Timothy; and Ann; but does not name Nathaniel. 
However he says, he sail. for the W. I. 1692, and was lost
at sea.
  SHANNON, RICHARD, Portsmouth 1689, m. Abigail, d. of William
Vaughan, had Cutt, and Nathaniel, and descend. of distinct. are num.
  SHAPLEIGH, spell. sometimes as sound. SHARPLEY, more oft. SHAPLEY, 
ALEXANDER, Kittery 1642, had some yrs. bef. been agent, prob. of
Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and so may be thot. to have come from Devonsh.
had Catharine, wh. m. perhaps in Eng. James Treworthy; Nicholas, and
other ch.; all, it may be, b. in his native ld. He soon went home, and
d. there bef. 1650. BENJAMIN, New London, mariner, s. of Nicholas,
m. 10 Apr. 1672, Mary, eldest d. of John Picket, had Ruth, b. 24 Dec.
foll.; Benjamin, 20 Mar. 1675; Mary, 26 Mar. 1677; Joseph, 15 Aug.
1681, wh. d. young; Ann, 31 Aug. 1685; Daniel, 14 Feb. 1690; Jane,
1696; and Adam, 1698, d. young; and d. 3 Aug. 1706, in 56th yr. if
the credit of the gr.st. leads us to believe he was the sec. not first Benjamin 
of his f. JOHN, Kittey, perhaps s. of Alexander, was serg. 1659;
k. by the Ind. 29 Apr. 1706, as Penhallow tells, when his s. was tak. by
them to Canada, and treat. very cruel. Niles relates the same matter
with slight differ. of date. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 275.  NICHOLAS,
Boston, perhaps br. of Alexander, had Benjamin, b. Sept. 1645, perhaps
his youngest, liv. aft. at Charlestown, was a capt. and d. 15 Feb. 1663.
His will, of 21 Jan. 1662, pro. 7 Sept. 1663, gave to his w. "the ho. in
wh. Mr. Roswell lives," wh. was, of course, one of the best in that town,
ment. the s. Nicholas, Joseph, and Benjamin, and made Hon. Richard
Russell an overseer. For bequest of a sh. in his est. to s. Joseph, is attach.
a curious condition--"in case he m. Sarah, d.of Randall Nichols."
His wid. Ann d. 26 Mar. 1687, in 80th. yr. She and her s. Joseph act.
as excors. NICHOLAS, Kittery, s. of Alexander, b. in Eng. a man of
emin. was first of Portsmouth, sold his est. there in Dec. 1644, chos.
[[60]]
Traesr. of the Province of Maine 1649, capt. in 1653, major in 1656,
supersed. in 1663 by William Phillips, being in 1662 a magistr. next to
the right worshipf. Henry Josselyn. He had w. Alice, no. ch. went home
prob. seven yrs. later, and liv. long, yet came not again to our side of the
ocean, I presume, but d. in Eng. 1681 or 2. His name is not includ.
with. those the royal commisnrs. honor. in giv. office, wh. might seem to
prove his abs. tho. special reason may be, his tenderness for Quakers.
   *NICHOLAS, Charlestown, s. of Nicholas the first, was a major, dism. in
July 1669, by the Country Court, from that office, as a Quaker, but his
nearer neighb. contin. to trust his goodness, made him rep. 1696, and he
prob. had s. of the same name, and no little hesitat. is felt in distinguish.
one from the other.
    SHARP, CHARLES, New Hampsh. 1684. JOHN, Dover 1663. JOHN,
Westerly 1668. JOHN, Boston, by w. Martha had Robert, b. 1665;
and prob. others. He was s. of Robert, liv. at Muddy riv. now Brookline, 
was lieut. of that comp. of Wadsworth at Sudbury fight, Apr. 1676,
that was near. cut off to a man. A let. of his, writ. few wks. bef. his d.
in Geneal. Reg. X. 65, is worth read. Dr. Pierce, in his Hist. of the
town, says, "the s. of this lieut. S. afterwards lost his life in an expedit.
against the Ind. in Canada." JOHN, Cambridge, merch. had w. Elizabeth wh.
d. 9 Mar. 1699, in her 25th yr. as the inscr. of her gr.st. is giv. by Harris,
wh. tells no more of him. RICHARD, Boston, freem. 1674, d. 5 Aug.
1677. ROBERT, Braintree, came in the Abigail, perhaps, 1635, from
London, aged 20, had John, b. 12 Mar. 1643, and may have been at
Rehoboth the same yr. but certain. bot. in 1650, wiht Peter Aspinwall,
the large farm of William Colborn at Muddy riv.; had Mary, bapt. at
Roxbury, 5 Dec. 1652, and elder d. Abigail, b. a. 1648. He d. Jan.
1655, his inv. in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 276, being of 19th of that mo. tho.
Farmer had it July 1653; and his wid. Abigail, bec. sec. w. of Nicholas
Clap. SAMUEL, Salem 1629, came, with Rev. Samuel Skelton, in the
George Bonadventure, emb. in Apr. of this yr. with a duplicate of the
chart. of the Col. by the Gov. and Assist. of Mass. betrusted to him, and
they appoint. him to be of the counc. to capt. John Endicott, Gov. of
their planta. with three min. Higginson, Skelton, and Bright, beside the
two Browns, John, and Samuel, and Thomas Graves, the engineer.
But as they were requir. to be under oath, and that was prob. never
admin. (see Endicott); and as he was chos. an Assist. at the Gen. Ct. in
London, 20 Oct. foll. (when Winthrop was chos. Gov. in lieu of Cradock
then resign.) but never took the o. of qualificat. being on our side of the
water, and Ludlow was chos. in his place, at the Ct. 10 Feb. aft. I have
not giv. him the designat. of that rank. Aft. the governm. was transfer.
hither, he desir. adm. freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was adm. 3 July 1632,
[[61]]
but had been made rul. elder, prob. in 1630, aft. d. of Houghton. By
w. Alice he had Elias, bapt. 1 Jan. 1637; Edward, 14 Apr. 1639;
Mary, 28 June 1640; Experience, a d. 19 Sept. 1641; Nathaniel, 10
Nov. 1644; and Hannah, 1647; beside the eldest, Abigail (perhaps by
a former w.), wh. m. Oct. 1647, Thomas Jeggles.  He d. says Bentley,
1658; but Felt thinks, 1656; and his wid. d. 1667. THOMAS, Boston, 
chos. an Assist. 20 Oct. 1629, in London, when the new Gov. Winthrop
was chos. and they came together in the fleet of 1630. On 3 Jan. foll.
his only d. (as from the lang. of Gov. Dudley may be infer.) was tak. from
him, and his ho. burn. 16 Mar. aft. so that we may not blame, however
we regret, his leav. our country forever, emb. 1 Apr. with Sir Richard
Saltonstall and his fam. to go home.
  SHARSWOOD, GEORGE, New London 1666, had George, and William,
perhaps not tw. bapt. 2 Apr. 1671; Mary, 1672; and Catharine, 1674.
He d. 1 May of that yr. and his wid. m. 1678, George Darrow; and
Mary m. Jonathan Hill. WILLIAM, New London, s. of the preced. by
w. Abigail had Jonathan, George, and Abigail, all bapt. Sept. 1700;
and he d. bef. 1705, when George Polly of Philadelphia had m. his wid.
Yet he had other s. William, and James.
   SHATSWELL, SHOTSWELL, SATCHELL, or SATCHELLS, JOHN, Ipswich 
1633, was fined, 3 Sept. by our Gen. Ct. for distemper in drink,
but 5 yrs. aft. half of the fine was remit. and he was much more correct
in deportm. d. 1647, and his will was pro. 30 Mar. It names w. Joanna,
s. Richard, br. Theophilus, br. Curwin, and sis. Mary Webster, w. of
John. His wid. m. John Green of Charlestown, outliv. him, and d. 17
Apr. 1673.  JOHN, Ipswich, s. of Richard, m. 20 June 1684, Sarah
Younglove, d. of the sec. Samuel of the same, had John, b. 1 Apr. 1685,

1664; Ann, b. 21 Feb. 1666; Richard, again; John, and Hannah, or
Joanna, perhaps both; and he d. 13 July 1694. Sarah m. a Rindge.
RICHARD, Ipswich, s. of the preced. d. 16 May 1698, leav. w. Elinor,
wh. was of Daniel Cheney, and only ch. Richard. THEOPHILUS,
Ipswich 1642, was at Haverhill 1646, but back to I. in 1648, had w.
Susanna, and d. 1668.  He may have been f. of a William, wh. d. there
a. 1663.
  SHATTON, SAMPSON, as in the valua. Hist. of R. I. by Arnold this
name is giv. four times out of five to the man common. nam. Shotten,

  SHATTUCK, JOHN, Watertown, eldest s. of William the first, m. 20
June 1664, Ruth, eldest d. of John Whitney of the same, had John, b.

He was in capt. Beers's comp. at Squakeag fight, 4 Sept. 1675, and ten

1677, Enoch Lawrence of Groton. PHILIP, Watertown, br. of the

1673, d. young; Susanna, 6 Aug. 1675; Ann, 8 Dec. 1677; and his w.

pro. 30 Aug. foll. made Isaac excor. names both of his s. Philip, and
other ch.; and his wid. d. 1728. SAMUEL, Salem, a feltmaker, s. of that

Winthrop I. 200, was freem. 9 Mar. 1637. He had that yr. gr. of half

his curiosity than incr. his wealth, had he not d. the next yr. and in

1656; but no descend. is kn. BENJAMIN, Weymouth, s. of John the
first, by w. Hannah had Susanna, b. 6 Feb. 1699; and, perhaps, if our
rec. did not fail soon aft. that date, we might read sev. more. BENONI,

he d. 5 Mar. 1751; and his wid. d. 25 July 1657. EDWARD, Duxbury
1632, acc. Winsor, may be the same, as Folsom found at Saco, where
his w. Jane was whip. for slander, and the yr. bef. was of Scarborough,
acc. Southgate, 26; and there in few yrs. he d. for his s. Richard, aft.
resid. some yrs. as heir, sold his est. 1662. FEARNOT, Boston, blacksmith

Leager, had Jacob, b. 6 Nov. 1672; and John, 30 Mar. 1678. GEORGE,

Doane of the same, had Elkanah, Rebecca, George, Hannah, John,
and Jonathan; and d. 2 May 1720. ISRAEL, Salem, s. of William,
claim. sh. of com. lds. in right of proprs. of 1661, so late as 1713, and
no more is kn. of him, exc. that he m. Elizabeth Booth, and had Israel, b. 16
Dec. 1698; and Susanna, 29 Sept. 1703.  JAMES, Plymouth 1643, s. of the 
first John, prob. b. in Eng. m. 24 Dec. 1652, Mary, d. of Experience Mitchell, 
had James, b. 6 Dec. 1654, and two ds. JOHN, Plymouth 1632, or some yrs.
bef. brot. from Eng. w. Alice and ch. John, James, Jonathan, and Abigail,

JOHN, Boston, a butcher, ar. co. 1646; by w. Martha had John, b. 16
May 1646, prob. d. soon; John, again, 1648; Samuel, 4 Nov. 1651, d.

provis. for annuity to hims. and w. Elizabeth 1670, and d. 23 July 1687.
He may be the same, wh. was call. a fisherman in the list of contribut.
1657 to build the "townhouse" of B. JOHN, Weymouth, s. of Abraham, 
b. in Eng. by w. Alice, wh. outliv. him, had Elizabeth b. 26 Feb. 1656;

1668; Benjamin, 16 June 1670; Abigail, 15 July 1672; and Ebenezer,
24 Apr. 1674; beside John, prob. his first b. bef. the date of perfect rec.
I ought to ment. that some slight uncert. is felt, whether this man were
s. of Abraham, since Weymouth rec. show, that one JOHN there m. 7
June 1658; Sarah Waters, and he may have been of Abraham, and
this h. of Alice have been br. of Abraham. However, as he nam.
his eldest, or sec. s. Abraham (wh. serv. as a soldier on Conn. riv.
Mar. 1676), my assumpt. may be good. JOHN, Malden, a tailor, had
John, b. 16 Dec. 1667, and w. in 1670, Hannah, wh. d. 8 Spr. 1674;
and he m. 12 Aug. foll. Elizabeth Ramsdell. JOHN, Stoningon 1670, prob.
eldest s. of  Thomas the same, was b. at Charlestown, and join. the ch.
of Rev. James Noyes at S. 1677. JOHN, Rehoboth, had Priscilla, b. 22
June 1680; and Ann, 15 Mar. 1682. Prob. he rem. from Weymouth
aft. 1676, for none of this name is earlier found at R.  JOHN, Weymouth,
s. prob. eldest ch. of John of the same, yet may have been s. of Joseph,
freem. 1681, by w. Hannah had John, b. 16 Dec. 1679, wh. prob. d.
young; Abraham, 14 Feb. 1685; Hannah, 26 Apr. 1687; John, again,
20 Jan. 1690; Mary, 5 May 1691; and Benjamin, 25 July 1693.
JOHN, Weymouth, perhaps cous. ger. of John the sec. of the same, and
s. of John or Joseph, but of wh. I am ign. by w. Judith had Elizabeth b. 26
Sept. 1687; Joseph, 11 Jan. 1692; Judith, 4 May 1693; and Abigail,
17 July 1695; perhaps others. Whatever doubt of identi. as to one or
ano. John of Weymouth is felt, it is indisput. that Rev. John, gr.gr.s. of
[[65]]
Abraham, H.C. 1729, had four s. wh. were min. viz.: Oakes, H. C.
1758, f. of Hon. Lemuel, H. C. 1800, thirty yrs. Ch. Just. of Mass.;

Phebe, d. of George Watson, had Hannah; Jonathan, b. 1663; Phebe;
Mary; George; Lydia; Benjamin and Benoni, tw. 1672, of wh. the
former d. young; but whether all, or how many, of these were b. by
that w. or when she d. we are ign.  Yet it is kn. that he had sec. w.
Persis, wid. of Benajah Pratt, and d. of deac. John Dunham. He may
have liv. at Duxbury, or Eastham, pt. of his days. Hannah m. 5 Aug.
1678, Thomas Paine, jr. of Eastham; Phebe m. John Morton; Mary
m. 1687, Eleazer Ring; and Lydia m. 4 Apr. 1689, Nicholas Snow.
JONATHAN, s. of the preced. by first w. Mehitable Pratt had Jonathan,
Phebe, Persis, Mehitable, James, Hannah, Elizabeth Priscilla, Abigail, and
Samuel, it is said, and this w. d. 1712. By sec. w. Mary Darling, m. 16
Nov. 1715, he had Rebecca, b. 1718; and tho. his resid. or date of d.
are unkn. his wid. we are told, d. 9 Mar. 1754, aged 80. JOSEPH, Dedham 
1636, s. of Abraham, brot. from Eng. by his f. freem. 22 May 1639,
rem. soon aft. d. of his f. to Weymouth, had Joseph, b. 14 July 1643;

Partridge of Salisbury; had Abiel, b. Oct. 1662, wh. m. Thomas Brown,
and prob. others. JOSEPH, Charlestown, m. 16 Dec. 1664, Sarah Patten,
perhaps d. of William; but nothing more is kn. of him, and it may be
that he rem. JOSEPH, Weyrmouth, prob. s. of John first of the same,
freem. 1691, by w. Judith had Judith, b. 4 May 1693; Abigail, 17 July
1695; and, perhaps, others aft. our transcr. stops.  NICHOLAS, Weymouth,

may have had no w. or ch. at least his will, of 25 June 1672, refers to
[[66]]
none. Some have writ. the name Shae. THOMAS, Charlestrown, perhaps 
had w. Mary, adm. of the ch. July 1645; had John, b. 4 Mar.
1648, whose bapt. would fail to be found in the rec. hav. large gap
aft. 1642; rem. 1656 to New London, and in 1658 was of Stonington,
made freem. 1666, in the town list of 1669 call. sen. wh. permits us to
suppose he had s. of the name. The governm. of Conn. in 1675 gr. to
his w. a hundr. acres, so that we may presume he was late. d.  THOMAS,
Concord 1663.  WILLIAM, Salem 1657, then was a serv. of Thomas
Palmer, m. 23 Nov. 1668, Elizabeth d. of George Fraile of Lynn, had Samuel, 
b. 19 Feb. 1670, d.soon; William, 25 Sept. 1672; Elizabeth perhaps
Jan. 1677; Israel, July 1680; and in his will of 1 Jan. 1722, pro. 30
Dec. 1726, he names ano. w. Mary, and other ch. beside those three, viz.
Ebnezer, Daniel, Benjamin, and Margaret. Elizabeth had m. a Stockwell.
Of this name, the gr. in 1834 were mark. by Farmer as fourteen at
Harv. one at Yale, and ten at the other N. E. coll.  The first eight at
Harv. were min.
    SHAWSON, GEORGE, Duxbury 1638, says Winsor, rem. bef. 1640, to
Sandwich.
   SHEAFFE, EDMUND, Boston, came from Cranbrook, Co. Kent, but
when is unkn. nor is any thing told of him, but that he m. Elizabeth d. of
Sampson Cotton of London, had Rebecca, Elizabeth and Sampson, but no
dates of b. are giv. exc. 1650 for the last nam. ch. aft. d. of his f.
JACOB. Boston, came with his mo. and Rev. Henry Whitfield, wh. m.
one of his sis.; went first to Guilford, where he was one of the seven
pillars for constitut. the ch. wh. to us appears strange, as he was so
young, and unm. yet his relat. with the pastor will expla. if not justify,
this distinct.   He was b. at Cranbrook, in Kent, on the ch. reg. there
call. s. of Edmund, b. 4 Aug. 1616, and prob. cous. ger. of the preced.
In 1643 he rem. to Boston, and was engag. soon to m. the only ch. of
Henry Webb; and in the rec. of our Gen. Ct. II. 46, we read this
unusu. favor: "Jacob S. and Margaret Webbe are permit. to join in m.
tho. but twice publish." He had Elizabeth b. 1 Oct. 1644; Sarah, 14 Sept.
1652; Ebenezer, 4 Feb. 1654; a ch. whose name is not told, 25 July
1655; Mehitable, 28 May 1658; and Jacob, posthum. 23 July 1659.
In 1648 he was chos. to the ar. co. and the inscript. on his tomb in the
old gr.yd. tells, that he d. 22 Mar. 1659, aged 42, only ch. then liv. being
Elizabeth and Mehitable. His wid. m. Rev. Thomas Thacher of Boston,
long outliv. him, and d. 23 Feb. 1694, in 68th yr.; Elizabeth m. 7 Sept.
1660, then under 16 yrs. Mr. Robert Gibbs, and 20 Mar. 1675,  m. Jonathan 
Curwin, and d. 29 Aug. 1718; and Mehitable m. Sampson Sheaffe.
He seems to have the largest est. of any that hitherto had d. at B. His

wh in indent. of Apr. 1673 calls hims. of London, m. Mehitable, d. of
Jacob Sheaffe, had Jacob, b. 1677; and Sampson, 1681, H. C. 1702,
went, aft. 1685, to Newcastle, N. H. and in that Prov. was collector of
the customs, memb. of the counc. 1698, and Secr. and Judge of the Sup.
Ct. but came back to B. and d. 1724.  From him most of the name in
N. H. descend.  WILLIAM, Charlestown, m. 15 Aug. 1672, Ruth Wood,
perhaps d. of Josiah, had Mary, b. 31 May 1673, bapt. 14 Dec. 1684; William, 
wh. d. in the pestilence of 1677; beside Edward; William; and Mary, all bapt. 13 
Jan. 1689; but why some were not earlier, I am ign.  and he d. 7 or 17 May 1713, 
aged 63.  Of the s. Edward, I think, had Edward; and the gr.st. shows d. of his 
w. Mary, 1 Nov. 1748, aged 70;  but she must have been third w. for a sec. m. 
2 Mar. 1703 was Elizabeth wid of John Pinney, d. of Thomas Rand; and William 
d. 17 May 1718, and his s. William d. in Oct. foll.  Among the
early memb. of the ch. at Roxbury was a wid. S. and Ellis, in Hist.
gives the names as of a man, with supply of goats and kids, prob. bef.
1640, yet no light has been shed on either. She may have been mo. of
Jacob the first.  Of this name, in 1839, ten had been gr. at Harv. and
two at Yale.
   SHEARER, sometimes SHERWOOD, THOMAS, Boston, tailor, m. 18
Apr. 1659, Hannah, d. of Thomas Bumstead.

as is learn. from his will of 19 June 1720, pro. 21 May 1734, beside ds.
Abigail Chase, and Hannah Shea, the hÕs. of wh. are unkn. to me.  It made
Philip and Timothy excors. and ment. his br. Peleg.  But no informat. of
the br. is obt. nor could I learn any thing of descend. of John, yet it is well
kn. they have been num.  Always have I suspect. that this name is the same
as Sherman, even on our side of the water, but a large proportion of one
branch being Quakers, the distinct. was easi. and harmless. made by insert.
of the first let. of our alpha.  JOHN, Marshfield, s. of the first William. But
see Sherman, as comm. the name is writ.

Edward, had Samuel, wh. d. 29 Aug. 1641; was freem. 10 May 1643,
in 1645, was one of the 32 petitnrs. desiring to plant at Narraganset.
Happi. that project, caus. some trouble by adverse claim of Plymouth,
and more by the iniquit. pursuit of the poor Gortonists, to drive them
from Warwick, was overthrown by the Charter. giv. to Roger Williams;
and both the unjust pretensions were abandon. See Winthrop II. 252.
To support the Mass. claim, and defeat the R. I. chart. of 14 Mar. 1644,
a fictitios gr. of that territory bear. date 10 Dec. preced. that is earlier
by 94 days, was brot. out from the files in our Secretary's office by Mr.
Felt, and aft. slumber of two hundred and thirteen yrs. innocent. publ.
in Geneal. Reg. XI. 41, 2, 3. I have examin. the orig. parchm. and
have no doubt of its worthless character, as several of the signatures, if
not all, are pretty evident forgeries; and scrupulous history would be
content with the declarat. of the Earl of Warwick, whose name is the
first sign. of course, as was the first man in the Parliament's commiss.
for the N. E. Planta.  He (as Roger Williams wrote to John Mason of
Conn.) said that he had not sign. any such patent bef. that of 14 Mar.
"and he was sure, that chart. wh. the Mass. Englishmen pretend. had
never passed the table."  In 1645 Dudley was our Gov. and we may be
sure, he had no belief in it, or he would have relied on its absolute grant
when writing to the governm. of Plymouth.  He makes no refer. to it.
Endicott, the Gov. of 1644, and Winthrop, the ch. ruler of 1646, 7, and
8, must despise it, aft. they knew it was denounc. as no act of the
signers in Eng. How, and by wh. this docum. was fabricat. may be a
curious question.  Not a single seal of the pretend. nine signers is attach.
but three of them, Rudyard, Vassal, and Bond, in their solemn oder of
15 May 1646, giv. in full by Winthrop II. 280-2; four of them, Heselrige
[[73]]
and Corbet, in equal. solemn act of 22 July 1647, with the two
Earls of Warwick and Manchester, Winthrop II. 319;- and the same
four in a prior letter of 25 May 1647, Winthrop II. 320, implicit. deny
any such grant to Mass. So that we have seen of the nine denounc.
the spurious act, and four of them twice over, and the two Earls even.
thrice. Prob. the parchm. was sent by one or both of the former Mass.
agents, Hugh Peter and Thomas Welde; but I ought not to charge on
either of them an intent to deceive, unless a false date led irresistab.
to such deduct. It was only a draft or project of a patient, it might be
said; but that 10 Dec. 1643 was a Sunday. A judicial blindess
seems to have attend. base or childish attempts at forgery in the remarka.
instances of tak. the Lord's day for date of the magnific. grant of all New
Hampsh. 17 May 1629, usual. call. the Wheelwright deed,--the petty
convey. to Brewster of only eighty acres at Portsmouth, 6 Dec. 1629,-and 
this charter or patent to rob. R. I. of all the terrio. both E. and W. of
Narraganset Bay, 10 Dec. 1643. SIC SEMPER INJUSTIS. A subsequent
or aft. thot. was, indeed, the contrivance of Welde in his famous issue
of "Antiomians and Familists, & c." near. a. the same time. But such
jugglery is more to be expect. in a controversial pamphlet, than a solemn
State docum. Rogues must always dread the sun, and sometimes the
almanac.*   The w. of S. was Margaret, and he d. Sept. 1650, she surv.


* A brief note (on the first word of the last sentence of this invalua. docum.
"Yeomen"), by Mr. Felt, is very significant.  It proves that Chaucer, wh. d. 244 yrs.
bef. employ. the term for Given.  Aft. Chaucer it was not prob. used in many cases;
but between the time of Bloody Queen Mary, and booby King James, it must have
given way to our modern word. The use of it proves too much by a great deal, if
intend. to indicate the issue of the deed Dec. 1643 bef. that of Mar. 1644. In those
94 days our languge did not so rapid improve; but near twelve times as many
months, I suppose, our generous had supersed. the barbarous term, at least insolemn
acts of States; and we all feel, that the right of existence in a large community
should not be sett. by a point of verbal criticism.
  Since the foregoing was written, I have gained the benefit of the sec. Vol. of the
Hist of N.E. and find that Dr. Palfrey (whose inspection nothing escapes) had felt
more than one difficulty on this subject. A valua. note on p. 217 states, "resecting 
this patent,"  "there are some things obscure." He then adopts the suggest. that
"it was prob. obt. by Welde," concur. with the presumpt. express. in the Rec. of
R. I. II. 162, but aggravates the palpable obscure by a most reasona. conject. that it
was "without authority from Mass; Yet it would seem very odd, that a solemn
patent conveying jurisdict. from the sovereign power of Eng. to the colony of Mass.
over the whole of the present state of R. I. should be solicit. by a private man for
her without any commiss. thereunto. Next, the acumen of the historian observes,
that "Williams's patent CONFLICTS with it; and we are left without informat. as to
the cause wh. could have led to such an inconsistency on the part of the Commissioners."
Certain. that act of the E. of Warwick, Sir Arthur Hesselrige, Samuel Vassal, Miles
[[74]]
JOHN, Cambridge, prob. br. of Edward, m. 4 Oct. 1649, Rebecca, d. of
Samuel Greenhill, had Rebcca; Sarah, b. 5 Mar. 1656; John, 22 Jan.
1658; Violet; Elizabeth bapt. 29 July 1660; Edward, b.31 July 1662; Samuel,
bapt. 3 July 1664; Thomas, b. 30 Apr. 1666; Deborah; Abigail; and
Hannah. His w. d. 22 Dec. 1689, and he m. Martha, wid. of Arthur


Corbet, and Wm. Spurstowe on 14 Mar. 1644, conflicts with the possibility of their
having on 10 Dec. preced. grant. and convey. similar, aye the same, power and authority 
to an antagonist. comp. Still, it is not only the conflict we inquire about, but
the case with wh. the weaker side prevail.; and so the perservering scrutiny next finds
remarka. "the forbearance of Mass. to found any practical claim upon it." Great
sagacity is observa. in suggest. of the reason by the elaborate writer,--"to have been
the caution of her magistra. a. involv. them in an admissn. of the lawfulness of the authty.
intrusted to the Parliamenta. Commissnrs." Here seems much more refinement than
solidity; but all need of such exercise of skill was taken away very soon, when it was
found that the pretended patent was only a flimsy fabrication. Dr. Palfrey had
on the former p. refer. to a letter in Gov. Winth's. Hist. II. 193, from the E. of
Northumberland and eleven others of the princip. leaders in affairs, of wh. eight were
not Commissnrs. of plantations, and took notice that only three whose names are
sign. to the spurious parchm. as Commissnrs. unit. with that recommend. of Ro.
Williams to friend. treatm. and therefore puts an inquiry--Were the Commissnrs.
cautious a. compromis. their dignity by demand. of Mass. what she was not unlikely to
deny? I can ascribe no such exquisite craft to our friends in Eng. epecial. bec. in
Nov. 1646 the Commissnrs. Order of 15 May preced. (relat. to Gorton and Holden),
so clear. asserts the wrong in views of Mass. "We find withal that the tract of ld.
call. the Narraganset Bay (concerning wh. the questn. is arisen), was divers yrs. since
inhab. by those of Providence, Portsmouth, and Newport, wh. are interest. in the
compl. and that the same is wholly without the bounds of the Mass. patent gr. by his
Majesty." This is on the page in Winthrop II. 281, next to that quoted by the modern
hist. to explain why Mass. would not take a charter.
  Deep. as is felt the shame for such deception, that led our governm. to inform Williams 
of the recent reception (27 Aug. 1645) of a charter, dat. 10 Dec. 1643, giv. to
Mass. the Narraganset Bay, and a certain tract of ld. wherein Providence and the isl.
of Quidy were includ. as in Palfrey II. 217 is plainly told, we may well exult at the
speedy triumph of equity and right in R. I. and Providence Plantations (feeble as
that side seem) over the formidab. array of the four provinces confederat. Fiat
justitia.
  Conecticut and Plymouth, wh. were each stimulat. to claim part of this territo.
that now forms one of the glorious. old thirteen U.S. (at least, the greater part by one
and the remainder by the other) seem easi. to have discern. the futili. of such claims;
and believe that Gov. Bradford has not permit. even a word on the right of his
col. over R. I. to appear in his copious Hist. The love of justice and a true sense
of honor soon brought Gov. Winthrop to relinquish the whole jurisdict. E. of the
Pawcatuck riv.  It is curious to read the modesty of statement by the recet hist. of
R. I. in the instructive pages 118 and 119 of Gov. Arnold. The sanctity of that
parchm. was assumed at Providence, in 1859, as it had been in 1645, at Boston;
but henceforward I hope, that neither patriotism nor timidity will be called to believe
a lie.

rather, Edmund, Wethersfield 1636, is said to have foll. his s. Rev. John,
N. E. prob. the preeed. and was an orig. propr. of W. but gave
his d. to s. Samuel, being well advanc. in yrs. when he rem. to New
Haven, was adm. freem. 29 Oct. 1640, and d. 1641.  HENRY, Boston,
perhaps, but I kn. nothing of him, exc. that in the inv. of John Mills,
1651, this man's name appears among debtors. JAMES, Sudbury, s. of
Rev. John, there began to preach 1677, m. 1680, Mary, d. of Thomas
Walker, had John, and Thomas, was very unhappy in his place, so as in
July 1705 to be strip. of his functions, "deposed from his pastoral
office,"  is the exact phrase of 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. 87, but for the
cause of such unusual proceed. I have less anxious. sought, than to learn
how he went to Elizabethtown in N. J. and aft. to Salem, there d. 1718.
See Mather's Hecatompolis. JOHN, Watertown, prob. s. of Edmund, b. at 
Dedham, in Essex, 26 Dec. 1613, bapt. 4 Jan. foll. bred at Emanuel Coll. 
Cambridge Univ. where "When his turn came to be a grad." says the Magnalia, 
"he serious. consider. the subscript. requir. of him, and upon invincib. argum.
bec. so dissatisf. therewithal, that, advis. with Mr. Rogers, Dr. Preston,
and other emin. persons, wh. commend. his conscient. consider. counsel,
he WENT AWAY under the persecut. charact. of a COLLEGE PURITAN."
Now I testify that 12 July 1842, I saw at the Univ. of Cambridge, in the 
origin. the subscript. of John Sherman on tak. his A. B. 1629-30, and 
repeat. on commenc. A. M. 1633. Too easily was this man presumed to be
our John, and aft. large investigat. the correctness of that part of MatherÕs 
relat. is establish.  By suggest. of Rev. Hen. B. Sherman of Newark, N. J.
I was led to obtain more minute nad very curious details of THREE other
John Shermans at Cambridge Univ. but very short time bef. or aft. this
Watertown min. all by the acad. rec. made D. D. and one was even of
Emmanuel, and another of the three was from the same Essex Dedham 
beside; yet all were anti-puritan.  He of Dedham was at Queens, tak. A. B.
Jan. 1650, and aft. a fellow of Jesus, of wh. coll. he wrote a hist. was 
arch-deac. of Salisbury, and d. 1671.  The Emanuel scholar was a little
earlier, A. B. 1642, had been matricul. 1638, four yrs. after the N. E. cry
in the wilderness by his namesake began; but the Trinity divine, wh. misled
me, matricul. Dec. 1626, of course, something too old for our John, was
A. B. Jan. 1630; A. M. 1633; B. D. 1640; and D. D. 1660. He was eject.
from his fellowsh. 1650 for refus. to sign the ÒEngagement,Ó wh. was a
contriv. by the Independ. or Cromwell party to put down the other. See
NealÕs Hist. of Pur. IV. 27, of Ed. 1796. But he was learn. and gave 
some of his skill to WaltonÕs Polyglot, and my Newark benefactor says, 
he was of Ipswich, and d. 1663.  The yr. aft. tak. his sec. degr. a. the 
end of Apr. 1634, S. emb. in the Elizabeth at Ipswich, where he had fam.
[[80]]
relat. and reach Boston in June. At  Watertown he, resid. near a yr.
and was dism. with others from the ch. at W. 29 May 1635, says Bond,
to form a new one on the Conn. riv. tho. we read in the Magn. "not
many wks. at W. bef. he rem. upon mature adv. unto New Haven."
Now instead of not many wks. we know New Haven was not sett. until
more than four yrs. after he arr. at W. Such is the perpetual laxity of
narrative in the ecclesiast. histori. of N. E. Beside this, it was not to
New Haven that he first went, but to Hartford and Wethersfield, where
the attractions of Hooker or Smith were strong eno. and at the latter he
obt. gr. of a house lot alongside of that giv. by Rev. Henry Smith to
his s. Samuel. Prob. no work in the ch. was early desir. or at least
gain. for he was releas. from serv. of watch and ward not until 1640 at
May sess. of Gen. Ct. Soon aft. he sold to Thomas Bunce his Wethersfield 
lot, and rem. to MiIford, join. the ch. there, yet acting only in civ.
life, rep. 1643, and preach. for short season in 1645 for the early days
of Branford. There he was desir. to sett. as their min. but no ch. was
then gather. By first w. Mary (wh d. says the ch. rec. at M. 8 Sept.
1644, he had, says Mather, six ch. wh. is liable to doubt (tho. we are
igno. of the date of m. as well as the parents of w.) for it is not prob.
that he was m. in Eng. nor in our country bef. 1638, then 24 yrs. old.
Four ch. are ment. Mary, b. perhaps in 1639; Bezaleel, bapt. at M. 15
Nov. 1640, H. C. 1661; Daniel, 27 Mar. 1642; and Samuel, 14 Apr.
1644, wh. prob. d. soon. At New Haven he m. sec. w. Mary Launce,
late in 1645, a maiden in the fam. of  Gov. Eaton, and glad eno. must
she have been to escape the perpetual trouble grow. from the unhap.
temper of the w. of the Gov. full report of wh. is giv. in Appx. to the
charm. Hist. Discours. of Rev. Dr. Bacon.  By her he had Samuel,
again, bapt. at N. H. 23 Aug. 1646, and next yr. he rem. to Watertown,
wh. on req. obt. his dismis. from Milford ch. 8 Nov. 1647. With more
than his usual exuberance of invent. Mather makes it" upon the d. of
Phillips" that was in July 1644), Watertown offer. a call and he
accept. tho. he adds,"  at the same time one of the chhs. at Boston used
their endeav. to bec. the owner of so well talented, a person, and sev.
chhs. in London also by lett. much urged him to come over and help
them." If this be true (wh. is quite unlike.) for London, we kn. it must
be false for B. since there was only one ch. many yrs. later, and in that
Cotton and Wilson could wish or rec. no collea. Our sec. ch. where
Mather was all his days  a min. was not gather. bef. 5 June 1650, and
could sett. no pastor bef. Nov. 1655. Stranger than such inexcusa.
carelessn. however, is what he tells of this w. call her mo. d. of Darcy,
Earl Rivers, one of the Popish Counsellors of Charles I. wh. had no d.
that m. a Launce; and next, in mak. this w. bring "no less than twenty
[[81]]
ch. add. unto the number of six, wh. he had bef."  Authority for such
improb. he design. his reader should infer, I suppose, from tell. in the
begin. of the sentence,"  by the d. of that Mr. Launce, wh. is yet liv. among
us, Sherman had no less than, &c."  To this fable full credit was long
giv. bec. it obt. the sober sanction of Hutch. I. 19, a relative of Mather,
more than once misled by him. But in our day, a desend. of Sherman
by this w. aft. bestow. large investigat. with adequate critical skill, puts
the result, 1851, with "special wonder" in Geneal. Reg. 307, as not
"establ. the Darcy lineage." The writer refers to an emin. Eng. antiquary, 
wh. had been very slow to reject the tale even of Mather, or to
distrust so judicious an auth. as Hutch. but pursu. the inq. long, and
wrote me the issue, three yrs. later," aft. all the attent. I have paid to
Mr. Willards point, there is no satisfacto.  conclus. arr. at; and I am
inclin. to think, that there was real. no particle of truth in the report wh.
Mather had receiv. and has giv. circul. to."  Equal distrust is more
natur. felt a. the number of ch. that led our ecclesiast. hist.; to dilate in
eight and twenty lines on "such Polytokie," as he tersely or foolishly
calls it. Suspicion arises from this fact, that exactly one less than half
of the twenty-six ch. giv. to both ws. have never found a name either in
rec. or benevol. tradit. See Bond, 432. Yet one more, Benjamin, was
prob. lost from the rec. (by wearing out the paper) of b. 23 Apr. 1661,
and d. 4 Oct. 1662. By the sec. w. wh. long outliv. him, d. 9 Mar.
1710, we see, then, ten ch. or at most eleven, instead of twenty, were b.
and whence could the error arise?  Aft. the b. of the first ch. the f. was
always at Watertown, there as min. he would make rec. of bapt. of his
own, as well as of others; but the rec. is lost, and we have to seek in
town rec. for entry of births; and fortunate. his cous. of the same name
was many yrs. the clk. Five only are thus found, Abigail, 3 Feb. 1648;
Joanna, 3 Sept. 1652; Mary, 5 Mar. 1657; Grace, 10 Mar. 1659;
nd John, 17 Mar. 1660; but with more or less confidencc, beside Benjamin, 
five more can be read in Bond (tho. the first two. are count. by
him as of first w.), James, bef. ment. Abiah, Elizabeth, Esther, and Mercy.
Sometimes I have suspsect. that the ch. of both contempo. Johns were
count. for one by the informant of Mather, and very exact is the rec. of
seven of capt. John, part. bef. part. aft. he  bec. clk. and so by office
bound to kn. bs. ds. and ms. No weight can he denied to such surmise
from the fact of differ. names of the ws. of Rev. John and capt. John,
for the prefix of respect in his less likely to be omit. than the bapt.
name in w.  With all his assidu. Bond could not satisfy hims. How
Mather got this story of the friutful vine, conject. would be various, if
anyways reasona. The eldest d. of this sec. w. could not have told it to
him, for she d. the yr. of Mather's bachelor's degr. 20 yrs. bef. his book
[[82]]
was writ. and her mo. (wh. was liv. aft. the light of the immortal author
had shone upon the readers of Magnalia a dozen yrs.) could not be so
monstrous. wrong in the tale of her own childr. But if she did give
him these myths of her noble descent. and prolific felicity, either she was
insane, wh. he had not sanity eno. to discov. or she was irreverent.
playing on his bottomless credulity. More prob. however, seems this
solntion, that much of what he had heard about Sherman was forgotten,
and sev. stories turn. into one, and he tax. his fancy (that was always
lively, especial. at a marvel), for some incidents, and confus. the whole.
Sherman was adm. freem. of Mass. 1669, and was struck with fever and
delirium in the pulpit of his s. at Sudbury where he preach. his last
sermon, 5 July 1685 (as, in his diary, is told by Sewall), made his will
6 Aug. and d. two days aft. He made James execor. and (includ. two
dec.) names twelve other ch. Mary, the ch. of first w. m. a. 1658, Daniel

15 Mar. 1649; Joseph, 14 May 1650; and Grace, 20 Dec. 1653, acc.
Bond; but Cothren, 680, omits Elizabeth and makes Grace 1655. He was
capt. selectman 1637, and oft. aft. town clk. many yrs. from 1648, rep.

Marshfield, s. prob. of the first William, m. at Boston, perhaps as sec. w.
25 0ct. 1667, Jane, d. of Walter Hatch, had sev. ch. by ea. w. it is thot.
but dates or names are not seen. He may be the man, wh. took o. of
fidel. at Dartmouth 1684. JOHN, Stratford, s. of the first Samuel
of the same, was disting. in Conn. speaker of the ho. made an Assist. in

Samuel, Aug. 1682; Elizabeth Oct. 1684; John, June 1687; Sarah, Jan.
1690; Mary, Mar. 1692; and Susanna, Nov. 1693. He rem. early,
perhaps 1673, to Woodbury, where he was town clk. capt. and deac.
and d. 13 Dec. 1730. His wid. d. 1 Oct. 1744. JOSEPH, Wethersfield
1639, or earlier, had Samuel, to wh. he gave his ld. at W. and rem. to
[[83]]
Stamford 1641, says Chapin, Hist. 163,4, tho. Mr. Judd (wh. had
bestow. much research on rec. of W., does not agree that the name of
Samuel's f. was Joseph, for in the first two generat. he says there was no
Joseph in Conn. and Hinman, 72, and prob. Chapin mistook Jo. (the
perpet. abbreviat. for John), as Joseph. The fifth lot was, he is confid.
set out to Edward, easi. read Edmund.  JOSEPH, Watertown, youngest
s. of capt. John, a blacksmith, m. 18 Nov. 1673 Elizabeth d. of Edward
Winship of Cambridge, had John, b. 11 Jan. 1675, Edward, 2 Sept.
1677; Joseph, 8 Feb. 1680; Samuel, 28 Nov. 1681; but Cothren makes

Ephriam, again, 20 Sept. 1686; Elizabeth 13 July 1687, unless 1689 be
the true yr.; William, 28 July 1692; Sarah, 2 June 1694; and Nathaniel, 
19 Sept. 1696; and d. 20 Jan. 1731. William, the youngest
but one of these s. was a shoemak. at Newton, and m. Watertown, 3
Sept. 1715, Mehitable Wellington, had as third s. Roger, b. 19 Apr.
1721 at N. forever to be honor. as one of the framers, with Franklin, of
the Declarat. of Independ. and of the most sagacious men ever produc.
by N. E.  MATTHEW, Stratford, br. of Benjamin, had w. Hannah, and
d. 1698, leav. David, b. 1692; and Hannah, perhaps more. NATHANIEL, 
Boston, perhaps s. of Samuel of the same, by w. Grace had
Nathaniel, b. 19 Dec. 1659; and, by w. Mary had Mary, 28 Mar. 1665.
NATHANIEL, Stratford, br. of Matthew, m. 1680, Mary, perhaps d. of
James Phippeny, and d. 1712. PELEG, Portsmouth, R. I. m. 25 July
1657, Elizabeth d. Thomas Lawton, had Thomas, b. 8 Aug. 1658; William, 
3 Oct. 1659; Daniel, 15 June 1665; Mary, 11 Dec. 1664; Peleg,

Dec. 1687. PHILIP, Roxbury, came in 1633, a single man, freem. 14
May 1634, first on the list aft. Gov. Haynes, m. Sarah Odding, d. of
John Porter's w. by former h. went home early, but soon came again,
and was led away, says the ch. rec. to familism by Porter, disarm. Nov.
1637, and banish. next yr. went to R. I. there sign the compact of civil
governm. Mar. 1638, was Secr. or Recorder of the Col. 1648, and was
rep. 1656. See Callender, 30. As secr. he was happy eno. to have a
descend. in 1857, prob. in seventh generat. fill. the same post; but I can
hardly indicate the line. He had Samson and Samuel, perhaps more.
PHILIP, Boston, "apprent. of John Blower," but it will not easi. be
learn. wh. was his f. He d. 12 Dec. 1655.  RICHARD, Boston, merch.
by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 1 Dec. 1635, had two ds. Ann, and Priscilla in
Eng. of wh. the latter was m. two liv. here, Martha Brown, and Abigail
Duncan; all wh. is learn. from his will of 7 Apr. pro. 31 July 1660, as
[[84]]
abstr. in Geneal. Reg. IX. 227, wh. ment. also, gr.ch. Mary, and Elizabeth

May.  SAMSON, Portsmouth, R. I. s. of Philip, m. 4 Mar. 1675, Isbel,
d. of John Tripp, had Philip, b. 16 Jan. foll.; Sarah, 24 Sept. 1677;
Alice, 12 Jan. 1680;  Samson, 28 Jan. 1682; Abiel, 15 Oct. 1684; and
Job, 8 Nov. 1687. SAMUEL, Ipswich, 1636, of importance eno. to be
disarm. with only one more of that town, Nov. 1637, as danger. heretic,
d. bef. 1660, leav. ch. Samuel, Nathaniel, and Mary Clark, but wh. was
the w. is not seen. SAMEL, Boston, husbandiman; perhaps br. of Philip,
by w. Grace had Philip, b. 31 Dec. 1637; Martha, 5 Sept. 1639; both
bapt. 8 Mar. 1640; Nathaniel, 19 Dec. 1642; Jonathan, 11 Feb. 1644,
a. 3 days old; and Philip, d. young. He had join. the ch. 1 Mar. and
was adm. freem. 13 May 1640; and his w. join. the ch. 29 Aug. 1641;
he d. early in 1645, and in 1652 the Gen. Ct. interfer. in admin. of his
est. by the deacons of Boston ch.  SAMUEL, Stratford, br. of Rev.
John, perhaps did not come so early as 1634, wh. Cothren, 60, assumes,
but was aft. 1640 some yrs. at Wethersfield, there had houselot, giv. by
his f.; was among first resid. at Stamford, and had sev. ch. b. there; was
chos. an  Assist. 1662, 3, 4, and aft. the union of the Cols. of Conn. and
N. H. 1665-7, but tho. nominat. for 1668, he fail. of the elect. and is no
more  heard of exc. in project. with others, 1672, settlem. of Woodbury.
Cothren says he m. in Eng. Sarah Mitchell, and brot. her hither; but
this is to the last degr. improb. for he brings him in 1634, then only 19
yrs. old at most, perhaps only 18, and in the mo. country very few so
young were m. beside wh. he calls this sis. of Rev. Jonathan, wh.
does not seem to have had such sis. at least we kn. that Richard Mather,
a fellow passeng. with Mitchell's f. in 1635, has no refer. to a d. then m.
on our side of the water, and f. Mitchell in his will of 1646 names ds.
only Susanna and Hannah, no Sarah; and beyond that, our Sherman
tribe was from the part of Essex, while the Mitchells were of the W.
Riding of Yorksh. on the edge of Lancash. opposite sides of the kingdom, 
between wh. two hundred and thirty yrs. ago intercourse was very
rare.  Reconciliat. of the principal fact (if it be true) may be gain. by
a resona. conject. that the m. tho. it could hard. have occur. in Eng. was
some yrs. aft. com. of the parties hither. The dates of b. of their ch.
give further evid. as Cothren hims. furnish. them, of his error, as the
earliest is  1641, and the latest 1665, wh. is beyond the usual result of a
m. in 1634.  His roll, with slight correction, is: Samuel, b. 19 Jan.
[[85]]
1641; Theophilus, 28 Oct. 1643; Matthew, 21 Oct. 1645; Edmund, 4
Dec. 1647; John, 8 Feb. 1651; Sarah, 8 Feb. 1654; Nathaniel, 21
Mar. 1657; Benjamin, 29 Mar. 1662; and Daniel (wh. careful Mr. Judd
made David) 15 Apr. 1665. Some ground for support of the tradit. of
m. with the d. of Mitchell may appear in two of the names of these
ch. Matthew and Sarah; but I must adher to my conject. a. the time.
When he d. might seem as hard to settle, as his date of m. Cothren tells,
that he d. bef. Oct. 1684, but it was prob. fifteen yrs. later, at least we
kn. that div. of his est. among heirs, whose lang. implies recent dec. of
their ancest. was made Sept. 1700, and deeds by him as late as 1694
can be read. SAMUEL, Boston, s. perhaps of Samuel of Ipswich, by w.
Naomi had Nathaniel, b. 19 Dec. 1659; Samuel, 3 Oct. 1661, d. soon;
and Samuel, again, 24 Apr. 1664. SAMUEL, Stratford, eldest s. of Samuel 
of the same, m. 19 June 1665, Mary, d. of Daniel Titterton, had
Mary, b. 7 May 1666; Daniel, 23 1669; Susanna, 22  July 1670;
Sarah, bapt. May 1673; Grace, b. 8 Aug. 1676; and Elizabeth 1 Jan. 1679
He had sec. w. m. Aug. 1695, Abigail, d. of John Thompson, wid. of
Nicholas Huse, wh. had been wid. of Jonathan Curtis, and d. Feb. 1719.
His wid. d. 1731. SAMUEL, Portsmouth, R. I. s. of Philip, m. 3 Feb.
1681, Martha, d. of John Tripp, had Sarah, b. 10 Apr. 1682; Mary, 1
Dec. 1683; Mehitable, 18 Aug. 1685; Samuel, 12 June 1687; and
Othniel, 29 Jan. 1690. Perhaps he had former w. Sarah, that d. at
Marshfield July 1680. THEOPHILUS, Stratford 1669, was br. of the
sec. Samuel of the same, and a man of distinct. d. early in 1712; but
Cothren gives him no w. or ch. THOMAS, Ipswich 1638. WILLIAM,
Plymouth 1632, may have come in 1629, for to one of the name was
giv. by our Gov. and Comp. in London, liberty to bring in his kine from
Northampton in fourteen days from 26 Feb. doubtless to be emb. in the
fleet with Higginson. He m. 1639, Prudence Hill, whose f. is unkn. to
me, was of Duxbury and Marshfield 1643, had prob. John, b. 1646, and
William; but Winsor may have confus. f. and s. The f. d. or was bur.
25 Oct. 1679. WILLIAM, Marshfield, prob. s. of the preced. m. 25 Dec.
1667, not 26 Dec. 1677, both dates being giv. in Geneal. Reg. VI.
348. Desire, d. of Edward Dotey, had Hannah, b. 1668; Elizabeth 1670,
wh. d. young; William, 1672; Patience, 1674; and Experience, 1678;
and d. perhaps early in 1681. His wid. m. 24 Nov. of that yr. Israel
Holmes and next, Alexander Standish. WILLIAM, Portsmouth, R. I. s.
of Peleg, m. 12 May 1681, Martha, d. of William Wilbor, had William
Thomas, Eleanor, Mary, Elizabeth Peleg, Benjamin, Sarah, and Hannah. He
m. it is said, sec. w. in 1697, Mercy, d. of Peregrine White. Most of fams.
of this name in R. I. write it with a aft. e but in early days it was usual.

    SHORTHOSE, SHORTHUS, or SHORTUS, ROBERT, Charlestown 1634,
by w. Cathrine had John, b. 13 Sept. 1637; Elizabeth 7 Sept. 1640; but
among householders in 1658 his name is not seen; nor was he a valua.

    SHRIMPTON, EPAPHRAS; Boston, by w. Rebecca had Samuel, bapt. 17
July 1687, at Charlestown, but why there, I see not; and all I hear of
him is, that he was s. of Edward of London. HENRY, Boston, br. of
Edward of Bednal Green, Co. Middlesex, had been a brazier in London,
join. our ch. 15 Sept. 1639, by w. Elinor had Elizabeth bapt. 3 Oct. 1641,
a. 10 days old, wh. d. under 18 yrs.; Samuel, 25 June 1643, a. 26 days
old; Mary, 10 Aug. 1645, a. 13 days, wh. I presume, 9 Mar. 1652,
tho. blunder. town rec. calls her Elinor, d. of H. S. and his w. Mary;
John, 28 May 1648 a. 6 wks. wh. I dare to adopt; Sarah, b. 1649, wh.
was not bapt. for eleven yrs.; Henry, 26 Apr. 1653, says one of the
copies of town rec. but an older one, 1654, and he, I suppose, d. young;
Mehitable, wh. d. 29 July 1657; Jonathan, 18 Nov. 1656, wh. d. 22 July
1657; Abigail, 3 Jan. 1658; Bethia, 30 Jan. 1659; Elizabeth again, 10 Apr.
1660, bapt. at 5 days with three sis. bef. ment. He m. 27 Feb. 1662,
sec. w. Mary, wid. of capt. Robert Fenn (wh had first been wid. of
capt. Thomas Hawkins, and m. F. 26 June 1654); and d. July 1666.
His will, of 17 of that mo. pro. 4 Aug. foll. aft. provid. for his w. made
dispos. of large prop. to ch. Samuel, Sarah, Abigail, Bethia, and Elizabeth
and provides for Elizabeth wid. of his br. Edward of London, and the seven
ch. Jonathan, Mary, Ebenezer, Epaphras, Silas, Elizabeth and Lydia, large
pt. of whose est. he held in tr.; gave. £50 to the ch. and £50., with this
curious proviso, for "leave that I may be bur. in the tomb wherein
my former w. Elinor S. was bur. otherwise I give nothing."  A
better proof of his sense is a bequest of £10., "token of my love," to
Gold, Osborn, and others, of the Bapt. ch. worship. at Noddle's isl. A
[[91]]
copy of the will of his br. Edward, that sheds some light on our side of
the water, sent from the Prerogative Ct. of the. Archbp. of Canterbury,
may be read in our Prob. rec. I. 390.  JONATHAN, Boston 1648, eldest
s. of Edward of Bednal Green, wh. was elder br. of the preced. m.
Mary d. of Peter Oliver, had Mary and James tw. b. 30 Oct. 1667;
Sarah, 23 Nov. 1669; and Samuel, 10 Dec. 1671; ar. co. 1665; d.
1673. His wid. m. Nathaniel Williams; d. Sarah m. John Clark, Esq.
ROBERT, Boston, had John, bapt. 28 May 1648, "a. six wks. old," says
the ch. rec. but tho. the ancient copy calls him "s. of our br. Robert
I feel compell. aft. long investigat. to say, that it seems to be mistake,
inasmuch as there was no br. Robert S. of our ch. nor does the town rec.
give any such person. To be sure the ch. and town rec. in the orig. for
many early yrs. are both lost, and the copies are of various value; that
of the ch. very far superior to the town copy, especisally as gaps in 1647,
8, and 9 are num.  Now, since the name of f. is not seen in any time
bef. nor for a long success. of yrs. aft. if ever, my conject. is, that John,
the ch. bapt. on that day, was s. of Henry, and d. soon. That this may
not appear too hazaradous a guess, I beg, the student of our early manners
to obs. that Henry had brot. to bapt. his three ch. in  a short time aft.
their sev. births; but of six succeed. ch. no one was brot. up to the font
bef. the fifth day aft. b. of a seventh, and then the rec. has this strange
relat.: on 15 Apr. 1660, were bapt. ch. of our br. Henry Shrimpton,
Sarah, aged eleven yrs.; Abigail, two yrs.; Bethia, one yr.; and Elizabeth
at five days. The three intermed. were, I presume, d. and my excuse
for omission of such ordinance in the six cases, is, that the f. was too
much impress. with the d. of his s. John. If in opposit. to this conject.
it be suggest. that Henry had deriv. prejudice against the ceremony of
inf. bapt. the inq. natural. springs up, if his conscient. scruple restrain.
him in 1649, and 1653, and 1654, and 1656, and 1658, and 1659, why
should it have relax. in 1660?  Still,if my disesteem of the copy in the
old engrossing hand that serves for first ch. rec. seem too confident, I
must be excus. from abundant experience of the errors in such docum.
Our town rec. as it is call. (I mean the oldest MS. venerat. by me, as
the County Recorder's Copy from the lost transcript of the lost orig. rec.
of the town clk. of the writs) asserts falsely, that "Elinor, the d. of
Henry Shrimpton and of his w. Mary, dec. 9 Mar. 1652," on p. 128
whereas Mary was the ch. not the w. and Elinor was the w wh. had
three or four ch. aft. that date of d. and there was no ch. nam. Elinor,
that we hear of.  SAMUEL, Boston, s. of Henry, freem. 1673, got off
by fine of L10. from serv. same yr. as constable, to wh. office he was
then chos.; had by w. Elizabeth d. of wid. Elizabeth Roberets of London, Mary, b.
4 Dec. 1666; Martha, 21 Jan. 1671; Samuel, 20 Apr. 1673; and Elizabeth
[[92]]
again, 21 Apr. 1674; yet, perhaps, Samuel is the only ch. that liv. long.
He was of ar. co. 1670, and its capt. 1694, one of the Counc. to Andros
1687, but not a partaker in his tyranny; one of the Counc. of Safety
1689, and head of the regim. of Suffk. and d. 9 Feb. 1698, of apoplexy.
What is meant by the statement in Sewalls Diary, that lieut.-gov. Usher
was commit. to prison, 4 Dec. 1694, on the examinat. of col. S. is
uncert.  His large est. by will of 5 June 1697, pro. 17 b. foll. pass.

Oct. 1671. Elizabeth m. 28 Oct. 1652, Zechariah Hicks, and d. 12 Sept.
1730. JOSEPH, Cambridge, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. came with his
f. in inf. m. 5 Dec. 1660, Jemima, d. of Andrew Belcher the first of the
same, wh. d. a. 1675, had sev. ch. of wh. I kn. only Andrew, b. 5 Feb. 1665,
that d. soon; Joseph, bapt. 11 Mar. 1666; and Jemima b. 21 Sept. as the
town rec. proves to Mr. Paige's is fact. tho. the ch. reg. says, bapt. 31 Mar.
1667; and Elizabeth b. 12 Sept. 1668; and the rec. of b. has no others.
But others there were, as the fam. tradit. makes two s. lost at sea; and
fully confirm. is it by the fact, that aft. the d. of w. in the begin. of
Philip's war, and aft. m. of sec. w. he made deed of trust, 7 Nov. 1681,
to Andrew Belcher, their uncle, in favor of his s. Andrew, and Thomas.
He was much disting. for serv. in that war, espec. at Groton, where he
had com. and at Dover, wid. with Hawthorne in the surpr. of the Ind.
at maj. Waldron's. On the close of it, rem. to Lyme, there m. 12 Feb.
1677 or 8, Sarah, d. of George Clark, wid. of Reynold Marvin, and

perhaps, others, but d. 6 Aug. 1696, in 60th yr. Jemima, m. 2 Dec.
1687, John Hall; of Medford; and Elizabeth m. 18 Nov. 1685, Samuel Green, jr.
of Boston. In Milford a Joseph is nam. 1648; but I think it may be a
mistake for 1673. JOSEPH, Lyme, s. of the preced. m. Phebe, d. of
Richard Lord, had Lucy, b. Feb. 1706; Elizabeth 20 Nov. 1707; John, 14
Feb. 1710; Phebe, 10 Feb. 1713; Joseph, 25 Apr. 1715; Thomas, 25

ZECHARIAH, Lyme, br. of the preced. m. Elizabeth d. of Richard Mather of

Joanna; but dates are unkn. of the b. of most of his ch. or of d. of

    SILLIIAM, DANIEL, Fairfield, 1658, had, it is said, for first w. Peaceable, 
wid. of John Egleton, (wh. d. 1659); and tho. she d. bef. 5 July
1661, yet tradit. tells that there were no ch. of the sec. m. with Hannah,
wid. of Hendrick Hendrickson. His ch. Daniel, Thomas, and Robert,
were all Peaceable's; and he d. 1690, it is thot. bec. admin. of his est. was
grant. 13 Jan. 1691. DANIEL, Fairfield s. of the preced. by w. Abigail
had Daniel, Peacable, Abigail, John, Jemima, and Mary; but no dates
of b. can be found; and he d. 1697. ROBERT, Fairfield, s. of the first
Daniel, had by Sarah, d. of Cornelius Hull, it is said, Nathaniel, b. 20
Aug. 1669; Sarah; Rohert; Martha; Rebecca; and Ebenezer, 1707,
Y. C. 1727, whose descend. have confer. gr. honor on the State; and d.
1748.  Fam. tradit. makes the first Daniel come from Holland; and the
deravat. is quite distinct from the city of Lucca, in Italy, in the early
day of the Protestant reformat. thro. Geneva, where had sett. the f. of
one  Daniel. This Daniel was chos. 1575 into the Council of 200 for
that Republic. Sometimes in fam. tradit. there is a basis of truth, however 
distort.

Thomas Lawton, had Elizabeth b. 18 Aug. 1669; Mary, 18 Oct. 1670;
Ann, 17 Feb. 1672; Hope, 24 Dec. 1674, Richard, 10 Sept. 1676;
Ruth, 5 May 1680; George, 23 Mar. 1683; Abigail, 23 Mar. 1685;
[[103]]
Thomas, 10 Sept. 1686; John, 26 June 1688; and James, 26 July
1690; his w. d. 17 July 1718; and he d. 10 Sept. foll. aged 74. His
eldest d. Elizabeth m. Jeremiah Clark. JAMES, Dartmouth, 1684, was, perhaps, 
br. of the preced.
    SIVERNS, JOHN, Lynn, had John, b. 22 Mar. 1684. Perhaps this
may be Severance of Salisbury.
    SKATE, JOHN, Weymouth, 1658, is nam. by Farmer; but I find no
such name, unless it mean him wh. at Boston had, by w. Sarah, John,
and John, again, b. 25 Apr. 1660.  See SCATE.  It may be the same 
person as the foll. 
    SKEATH, JOHN, Boston 1674 liv. long, as from his will of May
1700, pro. 22 Jan. 1708, is clearly discern. It gives to w. Sarah, ds.
Sarah Bradshaw, Rebecca Allen, Mary, and Joanna S. beside gr.ch.
Joseph, and Hannah, and makes w. and d. Mary excors. See Scathe.
    SKEEL, JOHN, Boston, Stratford, m. Hannah, d. of Roger Terrill of the same,
had John, and Hannah, bapt. 10 Nov. 1678, of wh. John d. soon; John,
again, Nov. 1679; Thomas, 23 Apr. 1682; Elizabeth 20 Apr. 1683; Abigail, 
9 May 1686; and Ephraim, July 1689; had rem. to Woodbury
1682; perhaps even bef. any  of these ch. Hannah m. 3 Mar. 1697,
Benjamin Hicock.
    SKEETH, WILLIAM, of Charlestown, or Woburn, d. a. 1672, for his
inv. was then ret. in Middlesex by Lawrence Dowese and Josiah Convers,
wh. were of those two towns.
    SKELLING, THOMAS, Salem 1643, had then, says Felt, a gr. of ld.
But. prob. that was inadeq. inducem. to leave Gloucester where he had
liv. some yrs.  and by w. Deborah had Deborah, b. 22 Aug. 1640, or
1648, rem. perhaps, to Falmouth 1651, and own. est. in Maine; but was
soon back, yet d. at F. 1667; in his will, of 14 Nov. 1666, nam. s.
Thomas and John. See Skilling. THOMAS, Falmouth, eldest s. of the
preced. says Babson, m. 1654, Mary Lewis, d. of George of the same,
had John, and Benjamin, and d. at Salem, 30 Dec. His wid. m.
Jotham Lewis; and next a. Wilkins, says Mr. Willis, and in 1732 was
of Salem 78 yrs old.
    SKELTON, BENJAMIN, Salem, nam. 1639, when his s. John was bapt.
and NATHANIEL, Salem 1648, when his s. John was bapt. are in the list
of sett. but not ch. mem. Strange as it seems, no more is told of either;
and to larger or less credulity must be left the opin. whether one or
both were ch. of Rev. Samuel. SAMUEL, Salem, came from Co.
Lincoln, in 1629, arr. with w. and ch. three or four, in the George, 29
June, in co. with Samuel Sharpe, hav. sail. 4 May from Isle of Wight.
He was b. 1584, bred at Clare Hall, Cambr. Univ. where he had his
degr. 1611 and  1614; nam. by the Gov. and Comp. at London to be of
the Counc. to Capt. Endicot, wh. they appoint. Gov. of the Planta. as
they heard that E. had "formerly receiv. much good by his ministry;"
[[104]]
but prob. he never was sw. for the arrest of his assoc. the Browns, bef.
com. of the commiss. would prevent organiz. or action.  But in the
pulpit his right as pastor, as well as that of Higginson, for teacher, was
fix. 6 Aug. 1629. Desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, he was rec. 18
May foll.  His w. d. 15 Mar. 1631, and prob. he took ano. w. if the
ord. of Court, June 1638, with the consent of Mrs. Baggerly," that the
incr. of his "cattle shd. b. div. acc. to  Mr. Skelton's will; and that the
goods and household stuff wh. belong to the three eldest ch. shd. be div.
by some of the ch." be constr. to mean, that he left a younger ch. and we
might infer, that his. wid. had tak. new h. Mr. Baggerly. But no such
name is found in Felt's list of ch. memb. of Salem, nor indeed does any
Skelton appear there, but the pastor. He rec. in July 1632 gr. of four lots
of ld. of various quantity; from the Col. besides what the town may have
gr. if any, tho. no such benefact. to either him or Higginson, or any ch.
of either is ment. He d. 2 Aug. 1634, and much do we regret the
loss of his will, that perhaps would have nam. the childr. In his Ann.
II. 568, Mr. Felt explains the denial to Gov. Winthrop, Isaac Johnson,
and compan. of libert. to unite in the Lord's Supper, or to have a ch.
bapt. for wh. Cotton, then at home express. his surpr. and regr. No
wonder the Browns were driv. away, when these later comers could not
by Mr. Skelton be adm. to his communion as "not memb. of reformed
chhs." The great master of us all would gladly have rec. these men;
but the rigid separatists had sterner sense of duty. So extreme was
their repugn. to the formulary, wh. they had onced used in their weekly
worsh. that they would not longer believe, in the communion of saints.
SAMUEL, Salem, s. prob. of the preced. b. in Eng. sold ld. in S. Feb.
1644, to lieut. Richard Davenport.
    SKERRY, EPHRAIM, Salem, s. of the first Henry, m. Sept. 1671,
Martha Mellard (if Essex Inst. III. 144 has correct spell.) had Hannah,
b. 11 July foll.; Martha, 13 July 1674; and he d. 11 Oct. 1676. FRANCIS, 
Salem 1637 freem. 17 May of that yr.; was, it is said, aged near 84 at his d. 
1692. His wid. d. 10 Aug. of the same yr. HENRY, Salem, perhaps br. of 
the preced. came from. Yarmouth, in Norfk. Apr. 1637, cordwainer,
aged 31, with w. Elizabeth one ch. Henry, and one apparent. Edmund
Towne, aged 18. See 4 Mass. Hist. Coll. 97, or Geneal. Reg. XIV.
325.  He was a freem. Mar. 1638; had Elizabeth bapt. that mo.; Mary,
Sept. 1640; Ephraim, 26 Mar. 1643; and John, 3 June 1649; he car. a
prisoner, 1649, to Boston, prob. as a constable, and was liv. 1696, then call.
89 yrs. old, d. 12 Apr. 1697; and in Felt's ch. list of 1645 is Bridget, wh. may 
have been w. of him or Francis. HENRY, Salem, s. of the preced. m. 9 Nov.
1665, Priscilla, d. of the first Henry Lunt, had Francis, b. 25 Nov. 1666; Ann,
14 June 1669; Priscilla, 13 July 1671; was freem. 1677; d. 30 Aug. 1691; and
his wid. Elizabeth d. 6 Mar. 1693.
    SKIDMORE, or SKIDMER, JAMES, Boston 1636, appears as agent for
John Winthrop of Conn. JOHN, perhaps of Cambridge, was fin. 1641,
for sale of strong water to Ind. THOMAS, Cambridge 1642, had, in
1636, been engag. for John, Winthrop in his prepar. for plant. at Saybrook; 
by w. Ellen had John, b. 11 Apr. 1643; and Joseph; may have
been at Lancaster at its early sett. 1653, but certain. bef. and aft. that
[[105]]
date at New London, and prob. 1672 at Huntington, L. I. He had
also, Dorothy, wh. m. 20 July 1652, Hugh Griffin. On 19 June 1667
he sign. contr. with Joanna, wid. of Nathaniel Baldwin, wh. had been
wid. of Richard Westcoat, by wh. she should have power to devise her
prop. to John, Daniel, Joanna, and Abigail, her ch. by said Richard W.
and to Sarah, Deborah, and Samuel, her ch. by said Nathaniel B. she
intend. to m. said Thomas S.
    SKIFF, BENJAMIN, Chilmark 1676, m. 20 Feb. 1680, Hannah,
whose surname may have been Merry.  Of him I hear no more, but that 
in 1704 he and others were employ. by Gov. Dudley in an import. trust.
JAMES, Sandwich 1643-63, had come from Lynn a. 1637, was rep. 
1645 and 13 yrs. more, had Bathshua, b. 21 Apr. 1648, wh. m. perhaps 
in 1666, Shearjashub Bourne; Mary, 24 Mar. 1650; perhaps that Patience 
wh. m. 26 Oct. 1675, Elisha Bourne. He took sec. w. 18 Nov. 1659,
Elizabeth Nabor.  JAMES, Nantucket, prob. s. of the preced. m. Sarah, d.
of Robert Barnard, had Nathaniel, Patience, Mary, Hannah, Beulah, and
Sarah.  He rem. to Tisbury.  NATHAN, Tisbury, br. of the preced. m. 
Hepzibah Codman, perhaps d. of Robert, had James, b. 10 Mar. 1689;
Benjamin, 29 Apr. 1691; Stephen, 26 May 1693; Mary, 20 May 1695;
beside Elizabeth of uncert. date.  His sec. w. m. Feb. 1698, Mary Chipman,
d. of John, had Sarah; Mary, 5 July 1701; Samuel, 24 Dec. 1703; John,
22 Aug. 1705; and Joseph, 18 Nov. 1707; and d. 19 July 1726, aged 70.
STEPHEN, Sandwich 1667, was rep. 1676 and serv. yrs. aft. See Baylies.  
An Elizabeth Skaffe, the Col. Rec. says, was bur. at Rehoboth, 25 June 1676. 
I suppose it means Skiff.
    SKILLING, SKILLIN, or SKILLINGS, JOHN, Falmouth 1651 may have
been s. of Thomas. His wid. rem. 1688, to Portsmouth. THOMAS,
Salem 1643, may have belong. rather to Gloucester, where he was in
1642, there, perhaps, had Thomas, b. Nov. 1643; and Abigail, wh. m.
18 Nov. 1670, John Curney, Carney, or Gurny. Perhaps both f. and
s. were of Falmouth in 1665.
    SKILLINGER, or STILLINGER, JACOB, a Dutchman, at New London
1661, had been at New Haven, was liv. 1666, and had a w.
    SKINNER, ABRAHAM, Malden, s. of the first Thomas, by w. Hannah
had  Abraham, b. 8 Apr. 1681; Thomas, 7 Dec. 1688; and Mary, Sept.
1690. His wid. d. 14 Jan. 1726. EDWARD, Cambridge, d. early, perhaps
in 1639, perhaps in 1641, as the articles in Geneal. Reg. II. 103, and III.
81, seem discord. By his will he gave half of his est. to the ch. of C.
and half to Mr. Robert Ibbit of Cambridge, in Old Eng. but calls no w.
ch. or other relat. so that we may infer that he was bach. if not also,
that he came from Co. Cambridge. FRANCIS, was command. of the
fort at Pemaquid, May 1683, as in Geneal. Reg. XI. 33. JOHN, Hartford 
1639, had w. Mary, d. of Joseph Loomis, wh. m. 13 Nov. 1651, 
Owen Tudor, prob. by her had John, wh. is among freem. of 1669. JOHN, 
Hartford, s.of the preced. had Mary, 1 Dec. 1664; John, 1 Mar. 1667; Joseph, 
26 Aug. 1669; Nathaniel, 5 Apr. 1672; Richard, 16 Jan. 1674; Sarah, 4 Nov.
1677; and Thomas, 15 Nov. 1680. JOSEPH, Windsor, m. 5 Apr. 1666,
Mary, d. of William Filley of the same, had Mary, b. 22 Sept. 1667;
and Elizabeth 23 Jan. 1669; was freem. 1669, and next yr. of Simsbury.
RICHARD, perhaps of Hartford 1648, may have been f. or br. of John
and Joseph. Perhaps his was that wid. Mary S. wh. m. 13 Nov. 1651,
Owen Tudor. THOMAS, Malden, came from Chichester, in Co. Sussex, 
where by w. Mary, were b. his s. Thomas, 25 July 1645; and
Abraham, 29 Sept. 1649; and soon aft. prob. for first time, he arr.
here.  His w. Mary d. 9 Apr. 1671. THOMAS, Boston, baker, bot. est.
1673, near the Exchange, was freem. 1690. THOMAS, Malden, s. of
the first Thomas, b. in Eng. by w. Mary, d. of Richard Pratt of the
same, had Thomas, b. Nov. 1668; and he m. 22 Dec. 1669, Mary, d.
[[106]]
of Thomas Gould, had John, Apr. 1673; Richard, 3 Jan. 1676; beside
Nathaniel, 27 Mar. 1686, I presume, for the transcrib. from the rec. of
b. in Geneal. Reg. VI. 336, has Jan. and here, prob. as in most of the
dates, has mistak. the meanings of the numeral for the month; and Abigail, 
17 Feb. 1691, was freem. 1690, and d. 2 Mar. 1704. WALTER,
Salem 1680. Of this name, Farmer says, there had been gr. in 1829,
five at Yale, three at Harv. and six at other N. E. CoIl.
    SKIPPER, or SKEPPAR, THEOPHILUS, Lynn, a minor, hav. demand 
of £51. against Benjamin Keayne, payab. on his com. of age, and Rev.
John Cotton and Rev. Thomas Cobbett, his guardians in 1646, interfer.
for his security. A Jane S. of Boston, spinster, in Jan. 1652, obt. secur.
for £50. from Valentine  Hill of Dover in comp. with Rev. Thomas
Cobbett and Joshua Scottow, so that I infer a relat. betw. this maiden
and Theophilus, prob. br. and sis. She m. 19 Aug. 1653, Abraham
Brown. Perhaps Catharine of L. was ano. sis.
    SKOULING, ROBERT, Hingham, came 1638, from old Hingham, with
Thomas Cooper, and his fam. perhaps as serv. in the Diligent, but certain.
he had no gr. of ld. there, nor is his name ever found again.
    SKULLARD. See Scullard.

1690.
    SLADE, WILLIAM, New Port adm. freem. 1659. See R. I. Hist. Coll.
III. 251.
    SLAPUM, PETER, if the strange name be correct, was a selectman of
FairfieId 1669.
    SLATER, JOHN, Marblehead, 1665, had w. Elizabeth when he d. that yr.
    SLAUGHTER, JOHN, Simsbury, propound. for freem. 1674, had m. 15
July 1669, Abiah, wid. of Elisha Bartlett.
    SLAWSON, ELEAZER, Stamford, s. of George, had a fam. but the
names are unkn. GEORGE, Lynn 1637, rem. to Sandwich, yet is not
found among men able to bear arms in 1643; prob. went to Stamford
bef. 1644, where were, 1669, propound. for freem. he with s. Eleazer,
and John. He had a d. wh. m. John  Gould, and these three ch. seem
to be all he had when his will was made. He d. 17 Feb. 1695.  JOHN,
Stamford, s. of the preced. m. 12 Nov. 1663, Sarah, d. of William
Tuttle of New Haven, had John, b. 1664; Sarah, 1667; and Jonathan,
1670. His w. was k. 17 Nov. 1676, with an axe, by her br. Benjamin
T. wh. tho. prob. insane was execut. for it, 13 June foll. He m. sec. w.
Elizabeth Benedict, had Mary, Thomas, and, perhaps, more ch. and d. 1706.
JOSIAH, Marshfield, possib. but not prob. s. of George, m. 12 Mar.
1679, Mary Williamson. THOMAS, Stamford, had gr. of houselot in
1641, but did not contin. there to enjoy it. Sometimes this name is
Slason, and oft. Slosson.

purch. and early sett. at Dartmouth, where his s. all m. he says, and the
name is preserv. Baylies, I. 286; II. 282. They were, as I presume,
Eleazer, Giles, ana Peleg, wh. were proprs. 1694. Ib. IV. 92. GILES,
Portsmouth, R. I. perhaps br. of the preced. among the freem. of 1655,

1658, freem. that yr. and aft. the Ind. incurs. rem. to Portsmouth, where

had Stephen, and Benjamin; was troubl. in 1658 for a Quaker, but
soon was permit. to go to R. I. JOHN, Braintree, rem. perhaps, to
Mendon, 1662. THOMAS, Salem 1670, may have been that inhab. of
Marblehead 1674, print. in Geneal. Reg. VII. 76, Smace, wh. seems an
impossib. name. From rec. of Pro. it seems, that he had w. Ruth,

was freem. 1680, at Northampton, whither he rem. a. 1660, had William; 
Elizabeth b. 20 May 1663; Judith, 18 Feb. 1665; Mehitable, 2 Jan.
1667; Samuel, 27 May 1669; John, 27 Aug. 1671, d. soon; John,
again, 1673; Ebenezer, bapt. 9 May 1675; Thankful, 13 May 1677;
and Wditstill, a d. b. 15 Mar. 1679. He rem. a. 1684 to Deerfield, and
there d. but the time is not kn. His wid. with sev. of the same name,
ch. or gr. ch. were slain by the French and Ind. 29 Feb. 1704. The
first ch. William, b. prob. at D. was k. 18 Sept. 1675, with the flower of
Essex under Capt. Lothrop at Bloody Brook; but Samuel, John, and
Ebenezer had fams. at D. and the name has been well perpet.
     SMEDLEY, SMEADLY, or SMEEDLY, BAPTIST, or BAPTIZE, as the Col.
Rec. gives it, Concord 1639, freem. 1644, had Samuel, b. 1646; Mary;
and James; and d. 16 Aug. 1675 in 68th yr. His d. Mary m. 10 Dec.
1667, Isaac Shepard; Samuel was k. 2 Aug. 1675, at Quaboag, by Ind
in ambush, when Capt. Hutchinson was treacherously surpris. as our his
tory tells. JOHN, Concord, br. prob. elder, of the preced. freem. 1644,
had John, and perhaps other ch. was rep. 1667 and 70, and senior
selectman 1680. JOHN, Concord, s. of the preced. m. 1669, Sarab, d.
of Thomas Wheeler, and was freem. in 1677. SAMUEL, Fairfield 1690,
may have been s. of the first John.
     SMIKING, VINCENT, is among emigr. a. 1641 from Wethersfield to
Stamford, but nothing else is kn. to me.
     SMITH, ABIEZER, possib. Charlestown, print. Abzar, by Frothingham,
181, in his list of the freem. 1677, but I feel doubt of the character, and
think it refers only to those call. to take the o. of alleg., for Paige's list of
freem. has not that name, nor any like it, a. that yr., and beside the ch.
rec. contains no evid. of adm. of such an one. Prob. it stands for Abraham. 
ABRAHAM, Watertown 1660, was aft. of Charlestown, and join.
the ch. 6 Jan. 1667, as did his w. Martha, 3 Apr. 1670, there had bapt.
John, 19 May 1667; and Mary, 9 Aug. 1668; but he certain. was a
householder in C. 1658, and may have soon aft. been at Salem bef. W.
freem. 1670; yet it may be there were two of this name at the same
hour in C. for the list of freem. sw. 1671 repeats it, tho. he may have
renew. the solemnity, or one of the two may have been of Roxbury,
[[110]]
where Ellis claims an Abraham without date, and he d. 5 Sept. 1683.
Martha his wid. admin. ABRAHAM, Middletown, m. 13 Feb. 1678,
Hope Stow, prob. d. of Rev. Samuel, had Samuel, h. 2 Nov. foll. wh. d.

1659, was sent over to New Haven for trial, as a Quaker, sentenc. to be

and d. 1713, in his will nam. only these ds. ASAHEL, Dedham 1642.
ASAHEL, Dorchester, perhaps s. of the preced. was a young, man in
1669, and may be the freem. 1690. BATHOLOMEW, Dover 1640. BENJAMIN, 
Providence 1645, or earlier, one of the first hundred adm. inhab. 
had Joseph, perhaps others. BENJAMlN, the freem. of 2 June
1641, may have been, as Coffin thot., of Lynn, b. a. 1612, and ar. co.
1643; but at Dedham was BENJAMIN, also, hav. there bapt. Benjamin, 
18 Oct. 1646.  BENJAMIN, Boston 1650.  BENJAMIN, Providence, 
came a. 1660, one of the many, as to the cause of whose
coming tradit. is happy to repeat many foolish stories. Either he was a
parliam. man or a support. of Cromwell, so that it was good for him to
escape at the restorat. "losing, the bulk of his est." and as he was rather
young, this prob. was not much. However he m. Lydia, d. of William
Carpenter of Pawtuxit, had Benjamin, b. a. 1661; Joseph; William;
Simon; Lydia, wh. it is said, m. a Fones; and Elizabeth wh. m. 28 Feb.
1699, Israel Arnold. He was an Assist. 1696, his w. d. 1 Oct. 1711,
and he d. 13 Dec. 1713. BENJAMIN, Reading, perhaps s. of Benjamin
of Lynn, by w. Jehoidan m. 27 Mar. 1661, had Benjamin, b. 27 Jan.
foll. and his w. d. 5 Nov. aft. He d. Eaton says, 1691. BENJAMIN,

d. of Timothy Baldwin, had Mary, b. 1662; Hannah, 1664; Benjamin, 
1666; Abigail, 1668, d. soon; Timothy, 1669; Sarah, 1671; and
Samuel, 1678; and his w. d. 23 Aug. 1680. He was in the list of
freem. 1669, and he m. a. 1682, Sarah, wid. of Robert Haughton, d. of
Gamaliel Phippen, and was liv. 1700. BENJAMIN, Farmington, s. of

1681; one in 1682, d. soon; Chiliab, 18 Feb. 1685; and Sarah, 26
Apr. 1688; was freem. 1673, and d. 7 Mar. 1731, aged almost 96. His

1642, freem. 10 May 1643, m. 2 Aug. 1654, Martha, d. of Michael
Metcalf the first, wid. of William Brignall, perhaps as sec. w. and d.
soon aft., when the Metcalf pedigree in Geneal. Reg. VI. 173, says
she took 3d h. a Stow. CHRISTOPHER, Providence, in the list of
freem. there 1655, had d. Susanna wh. m. Lawrence Wilkinson; engag. 
for alleg. to Charles II. June 1668. In 1672, his w. was Alice;
but what was her fam. name, or whether she were first, sec. or later w.
is unkn. CHRISTOPHER, Dedham, perhaps s. of the first Christopher,
m. Mary, d. of Jonathan Fairbanks, and no more is kn. of him, unless he
be, wh. is not very prob., that CHRISTOPHER of Hartford perhaps first,
one of four brs. whose only sis. Mary was there w. of William Partridge,
and wh. rem. to Northampton, early, where he had w. Sarah, adm. of the
ch. 1664, but no ch. there sw. alleg. 8 Feb. 1679, and d. 13 Feb. 1692.
His wid. was liv. in 1706, neph. Samuel Partridge, Esqr. of Hatfield, s.

the date of his will, mak. w. Elizabeth Extrix. names s. Daniel, and br.
Abraham, wh. with Rev. John Sherman, and others, he made overseers.

Susanna; and he d. 7 June 1681, in his will made eight days bef. nam.
only the w. and three s. perhaps the youngest three ds. d. soon. DANIEL, 
Greenwich, 1672-97.  DANIEL, Charlestown, a householder 1678,

more likely, 8 Jan. 1693, wh. d. at 13 yrs.  DELIVERANCE, Dartmouth,
1686. EBENEZER, New Haven, s. of George of the same, was a propr.
1685. EDWARD, Weymouth, had Phebe, b. 15 Aug. or Nov. 1642,
may have been of Providence 1645, Rehoboth where he was with
his w. indict. 1650 for not going to ch. to worship on Sunday; was
perhaps of Newport, on the list of freem. 1655. His d. Sarah m.
24 Nov. 1646, Stephen Arnold of Providence. Another EDWARD was
of Providence, when he engag. alleg. June 1668, and was publish.
1669, to Amphyllis, d. of Thomas Angell of the same, by wh. I suppose,
he had Edward, and Joseph; among those wh. did not rem. in the perils
of 1676; d. Jan. 1703, without a will. EDWARD, Boston 1655. EDWARD, 
New London 1669, then propound. for freem.; had m. 7 June
1663, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Bliss of Norwich, had John, wh. d. at 15 yrs. in
July 1689, as did his mo. in two days, and this f. four days aft. her, leav.
beside six ds. Obadiah, wh. was b. 5 Feb. 1677. EDWARD, Exeter, m.
13 Jan. 1669, Mary Hall, perhaps d. of Ralph, took the o. of alleg. 30
Nov. 1677, and was one of the address. to the king 1683, against his
Gov. Cranfield. ELEAZER, Fairfield 1669, s. of Giles of the same, m.
Rebecca, d. of Henry Rowland of the same. ELEAZER, Dartmouth
1686. ELISHA, Warwick perhaps, more prob. of Newport, m. Mary, d.
of James Barker, d. early and his wid. m. 16 Apr. 1677, Israel Arnold
of Providence. EPHRAIM, Milford, s. of the first John of the same, propos. 
for freem. 1669; and rem. to Derby. EPHRAIM, Farmington, s. of
Joseph of Hartford, m. Apr. 1686, Rachel, d. of John Cole, had
Ephraim, b. 16, bapt. 21 Dec. 1690; Rachel 10, bapt. 17 Feb. 1695;
Lydia, 20 Nov. 1697; Sarah, 6 Aug. 1700; Mary, 11 Apr. 1703; Benjamin, 
10 Apr. 1706; and John, 16 Apr. 1709; and d. 5 Apr. 1751.
FRANCIS, the freem. of 17 Apr. 1637, was a propr. Bond thinks, in
Watertown, that yr. but not in 1642, and in my opin. prob. that Reading
man, wh. d. 20 Mar. 1601, then call. sen. wh. was first, perhaps, of Lynn.
His will, made six days bef. ment. without nam. w. s. John, and Benjamin, 
and gr. d. Mary S. FRANCIS, Roxbury, one of the first mem. of
the ch. freem. 18 May 1631, so that we may infer, that he came in
one of the fleet with Winthrop and, as the town rec. ment. that his s. Andrew, 
d. or was bur. 15 Mar. 1640, whose b. is not told, it is thot. he
[[113]]
brot. w. and fam. but no more can be deriv. as unhap. the ch. rec. of
bapt. or d. begin. in Dec. 1641, more than nine yrs. aft. its orig. He
serv. 28 Sept. 1630 on the first inq. held by coroner, and by their find.
Walter Palmer was chged. with manslaughter, for death of Austen
Bratcher, of wh. he was acq. He liv. most of his days in Boston, prob.
to practise better his trade of cardmaker, and by twelve sev. deeds to or
from him of ld. in B. I have tracked him down to Jan. 1667. It may
be very difficult to determine, whether F. the glazier, had any ch. or
how old he was, when he d. but his br. Joseph, the saddler, had admin.
of his est. 12 Aug. 1690. His w. Elizabeth (by wh. in B. he had John, b. 30
Aug. 1644; Joseph, 24 Aug. 1646; Mercy, wh. d. 4 Sept. 1652; Sarah, 
b. 6 May 1655; Benjamin 10 Apr. 16O8; and Mary, 18 July
1663); join. Boston ch. 31 May 1646, and his d. Elizabeth m. 1656, James
Sanford. But ano. FRANCIs, prob. s. of this Roxbury man, may have
been f. of the two 1ast ment. ch. as I presume; and had earlier, in R.
Sarah, b. 6 May 165a; tho. it is not impossib. that one was f. of all.
FRANCIS, Hingham, drew his house lot, 18 Sept. 1635, freem. 13 May
1640, rem. says Lincoln, to Taunton, where his w. d. 6 Jan. 1666.
There he, or one of this name was liv. 1679. Inscript. at T. on
gr. st. are seen of Elizabeth "aged 40, d. 31 Jan. 1687;" and of Damaris 
"aged 21, d. 29 Oct. 1689." FRANCIS, Reading, perhaps s.
of the first Francis of the same, freem. 1691, and not prob. that deac.
wh. d. says Eaton, 1744. GEORGE, Salem 1635, had then gr. of
ld. of wh. or other he contin. propr. perhaps was of Ipswich 1648, and
soon back to S. bef. 1663. GEORGE, New Haven 1639-47, was not on
the list of freem. there 22 yrs. aft. At N. H. by w. Sarah he had Sarah, 
and Martha, perhaps tw. b. 1642; Hannah, 1644; but all three, in
the right of their mo. bapt. 14 Dec. 1645; Mercy, 22 Feb. 1646; John,
18 Apr. 1647; Elizabeth 16 Sept. 1649; Samuel, b. 4 Dec. 1651; Ebenezer, 
15 Nov. 1653; Joseph, 14 Aug. 1655; and Nathan, 27 Dec. 1656.
He d. 17 May 1662, and descend. have been num. and hon. Sarah m.
1661, John Clark; Hannah m. 1663, Stephen Bradley of Guilford;
Mercy m. 1669, John Benham; and Elizabeth m. 13 Nov. 1669, John Hall
of Guilford. Yet some uncert. attends the filiation of sev. of these ch.
bec. ano. Sarah, w. of Nehemiah, was engag. in the same pious work of
bring. ch. to bapt. in the same yr. nearly. GEORGE, Dover 1645, came,
perhaps, from the city of Salisbury, a tailor, in the James, from Southampton, 
Apr. arr. June 1635, unless this array of circumstance pertain
rather to the Salem man, for a fam. tradit. says, this man came from
Plymouth, in Devon of Boston, when there were only a few huts, and
not one cellar dug;" was town clk. in 1646 had commiss. from Mass.
and at the head of the tax list 1648; had Joseph, b. 1640; and, as Mr.
[[114]]
Quint thinks, John, and James. His wid. he says, m. Monday, perhaps 
Henry of Salisbury, and next Mason. GILES, Hartford 1639, had
Joanna, bapt. there 25 Mar. 1649; was of the earliest sett. at New London, 
but his gr. of 1648 was soon sold or forfeit. by non. resid. and he
was of Fairfield 1651, there d. 1669. He left sec. w. Eunice, not mo. of
his ch. wh. had been wid. of Jonathan Porter of Huntington, L. I.;
three s. Samuel, Eleazer, and John; three ds. Elian, if that be a
possib. name; Elizabeth Jackson; and Joanna Gray, nam. in his will of
10 Sept. 1669.  HENRY, Dorchester, came in the fleet with Winthrop
perhaps req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was rec. 18 May
foll. may be thot. the gent. wh. with Ludlow, Pynchon, and others, was
commis. in Mar. 1636 by Mass. to govern the first sett. on Conn. and
act. at Hartford lG38. See Mass. Col. Rec. I. 170, with Conn. Col.
Rec. I. 17; but whether he was or not, the Rev. HENRY, first min. of
Wethersfield, I cannot confidently decide. On the whole, I conclude,
since Mather puts the Wethersfield min. into his first classis (as of those,
in the actual exercise of their min. bef. they left Eng.), that this man
was only in civ. life, for he is not dignif. with the prefix Mr. and would
never seem to be looked on as cleric. in Mass., and prob. the min. of
Wethersfield came not for five, or even six, yrs. more. See Winth's. letter
of June 1636 to his s. John, Gov. of the new planta. in Hist. I. Appx. A.
60 of the Ed. 1853. He, in 1636, rem. to Springfield with Pynchon; was s.
by a former h. of that wid. Sanford wh. had m. Pynchon, and this s. had m.
his P's. d. Ann, I suppose bef. the m. of his mo. with the f. of his w. possib. 
bef. they, any of them, came from Eng. to confound tbe two, if there
were not three (wh. seems improb.) Henry Smiths. I design always to
put the names in the order of their com. to our country, so that Rev.
Henry, tho. older, must follow the Springfield man. Felt has, in his
Eccles. Hist. of N. E. 253, made the min. wh. was receiv. of the ch. of
Charlestown in midsum. of 1637, one of the commission to govern the
Conn. planta. in 1636, with Ludlow, Steele, Pynchon and others, when
we may feel sure, that it was Pynchon's s. in law wh. had that honor; as
also, that the Wethersfield min. was at the date of 1636 in his native
land, had Ann, and Mary, wh. were b. bef. his rem. the latter, bur. at S.
15 Nov. 1641; Martha, b. 31 July 1641; Mary, again, 7, bapt. 12 Mar.
1643; Elizabeth 22, bapt. 27 Oct. 1644; Margaret, 26 Apr. 1646, d. at two
yrs.; Sarah, 6 Oct. 1647, a. soon; Margaret, again, 1 Nov. 1648; Rebecca, 
1 Apr. 1650; Samuel, 23 June 1651, d. next yr.; and Abigail,
10 Feb. 1653; was rep. 1651, and, with his min. Rev. George Moxon,
prob. in disgust at the proceed. against his f.-in-law, went home 1653.
Prob. most of the ch. went with the f. but Mary perhaps contin. here
with her uncle Pynchon, and m. 15 Apr. 1665, Richard Lord of Hartford;
[[115]]
and Ann, wh. we may be sure, was the first b. m. 9 Nov. 1651, John Allyn 
of Hartford, the famous Secr. Other ch. he may have had, either
bef. or aft. leav. S. but where Farmer found his Elisha, is hard to guess.
He seems to be as well entit. as the Watertown Henry, to be thot. the
freem. of 18 May 1631, prob. better. Since reach. the conclus. that my
Dorchester Henry is the same as he, wh. Farmer in MS. had thot. of
Watertown, and by his two lines drove me to many wks. research, I
have the gratification of ascertain. from Dr. Bond's untir. investigat.
that at Watertown was no Henry Smith at all.  HENRY, Charlestown, join.
the ch. with w. Dorothy, 10 July 1637, prok. rem. soon. He may have been
passeng. in the Elizabeth, 1635, without wishing his name to appear at
the custom ho. as no min. could be suf. to emb. at least we kn. that ship
brot. Dorothy, aged 40; d. Mary 10, and John, 19; most likely he was
the Wethersfield min. Very critical caution, however, is requisite, about
the concomitants of the rev. gent. whose will, of 8 May 1648, refers,
without nam. them, to two ds. m. Of course they were b. in Eng. It
also names s. Peregrine, wh. may not have been b. on this side of the
water, certain. was older than Samuel, but whether s. of the w. Dorothy,
or not, is uncert. Of that Dorothy, the w. we may be very sure, that
she was his sec. w. not mo. of Mary, or John, fellow passeng. with her.
For the elder ds. we are not sure of the h.'s, unless of Rebecca. we judge
her w. of Samuel Smith of New London. See Caulkin's Hist. of N. L.
151. She was divorc. for his desertion, and m. 1669, Nathaniel Bowman. 
At least the age of this w. at Charlestown, if she be the passeng.
in the Elizabeth, is very much overrat. perhaps fifteen yrs. if not more;
for bef. his rem. to W. he had Dorothy, b. 1636, or 7; and at W. had
Samuel, 27 Jan. 1639; Joanna, 25 Dec. 1641; Noah, 25 Feb. 1644, d.
young; and Elizabeth perhaps posthum. 25 Aug. 1648. The min. of W.
had a long controv. with a part of his people, whereby the peace of that
whole commonwealth was disturb. See Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 97 and
98. It seems only to have terminat. by his d. 1648. In his will, Ib. 502,
he speaks of his large fam. ment. only s. Samuel, Perigrine, wh. was d.
Noah and two ds. m. with every one of their childr. as a part. His wid.
m. John Russell in 1649, and ten yrs. aft. rem. to Hadley; there made her
will, 1682, but it was not pro. bef. 22 Dec. 1694, so that we may presume 
her life was long protract. It disposes a decent est. to her s. Samuel, 
and d. Dorothy Hall, wh. had first been w. of John Blakeman, next
of Francis Hall; and late in life was so happy as to have ano. h. Mark
Sension, and fourth partner Isaac Moore. Joanna m. Philip Russell, 4
Feb. 1664, but with inf. Joanna d. 29 Dec. foll. Both of the m. ds. of
Rev. Henry were, no doubt, d. long bef. the will of his sec. w. It is
very easy to fall into confus. betw. contempo. persons of the same Christian
[[116]]
and surnames. Aft. many hours, and days, study, I had the satisfact. 
of learn. that my conclus. as to the first Wethersfield min. concur.
with those of the scrupulous Mr. Goodwin of Hartford bef. his d. in
June 1855, so far as his had been writ. out. They were aft. publ.
1856, and have excel. illustrat. pp. 100 and 1.  HENRY, Hingham,

d. of John Goodenow, and by Dr. Bond is suppos. to have d. at Lancaster, 
leav. wid. Hannah, to wh. with ch. James, Samuel, Hannah,

1675. JAMES, New London, s. prob. eldest ch. of Richard of the same,

perhaps d. of Stephen, had Mercy, b. 17 Feb. 1679; Abigail, 1 June
1681; Jeremiah, 18 Aug. 1685; and Hannah, Sept. 1691. He d. 29
Apr. 1706, and his wid. d. 29 Mar. 1729. JOBANNA, Farmington, a
young soldier, s. of William of the same, in Capt. Newberry's comp. in
Philip's war, k. by the Ind. at Hatfield 30 May 1676. JOHN, Dorchester 
1630, came in the Mary and John, a man of distinct. no doubt from
Co. Devon, brot. fam. prob. s. John, perhaps Lawrence, possib. d. Mary,
wh. m. first Nathaniel Glover, and next Gov. Thomas Hinckley, as most
of the people of D. said, tho. it is evid. eno. to me, that this high matched
Mary was d. of a later John; is com. call. the quarter-master, bec. he
had serv. in the Netherlands in that rank, was, perhaps, the freem. of 4
Mar. 1633, or of 7 Dec. 1636. Mr. Clap thinks he was past mid.
age, when he came, and my inq. are unsatisf. a. him. JOHN, Maine
1640, one of the gr. jury at the first Gen. Court of Sir Ferdinando
Gorges, in that yr. "sw. to inq. for our Sovereign Lord the K. and the
Lord of this Province." Perhaps he was of Kiltery, aft. as we kn. he
was, in 1635, of Saco.  JOHN, Providence, one of the hundred first
purch. may have been of Salem 1631 or 2, one of the friends of Roger
Williams, wh. calls him a merch. perhaps, but not very likely the freem.
of 4 Mar. 1633, and banish. at the Court Sept. 1635, for "divers dangerous 
opin. wh. he holdeth and hath divulg."  His name is always Smyth,
and he bec. one of the heads of the Col. of R. I. aft. rem. to Warwick,
the presid. of R. I. chos. to succeed Williams in 1649. In the new chart.
of the k. July 1663, he is nam. of the counc. but d. bef. its arr. lev. wid.
Ann, wh. had been w. of .....Collins, and had s. Elizur C. b. a.
1622, and the est. of S. went to them. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. IX. 286.
But bet. other Johns of the neighb. my power of discrimin. fails. In
Providence alone were four Johns among the first hundred purch.
One JOHN, if not two, was of Newport, in 1640. JOHN, Watertown
1631, perhaps the freem. of 25 May 1636 (whose w. Isabel d. or was
bur. 12 July 1639, aged 60, as Dr. Bond says), may have been f. of
John, Thomas, and Francis, sometimes nam. of W. perhaps of others,
but all b. in Eng. and, as Bond thinks, rem. to Lancaster, and d.
there, yet I think it more prob. that it was a younger man. JONN,
Taunton, one of the first purch. 1637. JOHN, Plymouth 1643, then call.
senr. was one of the first sett. at Eastham; but we ask in vain as to his
fam. or time of d. and are left to infer that, tho. he was sen. in the list of
those able to bear arrns, John jun. was not his s. as he did not accomp.
the sen. to Eastham, and it may equally be doubt. whether he was f. of
[[119]]
either the sec. or third John of Eastham, or of Samuel of the same.
JOHN, Weymouth, may have been the freem. of 17 Apr. 1637, caus. gr.
trouble a. ch. matters, at tbe captious time of antinom. schism, favor
Rev. Robert Lenthall 1638, for wh. he was fin. £20. and imprison. and
as L. soon withdrew to Newport, I suppose S. follow. him. JOHN,
Taunton, wh. had John, Elizabeth and Samuel, bef. 1643, rem. to Newtown,
L. I. and his ch. dispers. to Hempstead and Jamaica on that isl. See
Riker's Hist. 20. JOHN, Boston, a tailor, adm. of the ch. 6 Feb. 1639,
and his w. Mercy or Mary, 14 Apr. 1644, was freem. 22 May 1639.
His w. d. 11 Jan. 1659; and he d. 1674; in his will, of 23 Sept. 1673,
pro. 13 June foll. aft. giv. Id. to Robert and Nathaniel Woodward, his
gr. ch. (on wh. they had already built new houses), to be enjoy. in fee, he
devis. to his d. Rachel, their mo. now w. of Thomas Harwood, all other
est. and made her Extrix. She had been wid. of Robert W. JOHN,
Meaford 1638. JOHN, Newport 1639, may have cont. there and be
found on their list of freem. 1655; but may be the one at Providence,
distin,. as the miller, wh. had Joseph, and engag. his alleg. June 1668
and did not rem. during the perils of 1676, in Philip's war. JOHN,
Barnstable 1640, join. the ch. 13 Oct. 1644, and his w. Susanna d. of the
first Samuel Hinckley, join. 13 June 1652; but whether she was mo. of
all the ch. is not cert. but he had Samuel, b. Apr. bapt. 20 Oct. 1644;
Sarah, bapt. 11 May 1645; Ebenezer, 22 Nov. 1646, d. next mo.;
Mary, 21 Nov. 1647; Dorcas, 18 Aug. 1650; John, 22 Feb. 1652;
bur. in two days; Shubael, 13 Mar. 1653; John, again, b. Sept. 1656;
Benjamin, Jan. 1659; Ichabod, Jan. 1661; Elizabeth Feb. 1663; Thomas,
Feb. 1665; and Joseph, 6 Dec. 1667; was rep. 1656 and 7. In 1659
being allow. by the Ct. to hear what the Quakers could say in their defence, 
was wise eno. with Isaac Robinson, s. of blessed John of Leyden,
to advise repeal of the laws against them. He rem. to New York, but  contin. 
there not long; was min. at Sandwich, and d. aft. 1690.  JOHN, Lynn, rem. 
early to Reading, may be he wh. m. at Roxbury, 1 Aug. 1647, Catharine, 
d. of Isaac Morrill of R. had Sarah, b. 14 Apr. 1654, d. next mo.; Isaac, 
20 June 1655; Benjamin, 8 Aug. 1657, d. in 3 days; Francis, 23 Dec.
1658; and Abraham, 10 Apr. 1661; beside John and Mary, elder than
any, as from abstr. of Morrill's will, Geneal. Reg. XI. 35, is plain. His
w. Catharine d. 12 Sept. 1662; and he was rep. in 1669. JOHN and
John jr. of Stamford among, the first sett. 1641, both rem. to Hempstead,
L. I. The younger, in 1675, gave a depon. call. hims. 60 yrs. old, in
wh. he says that formerly at S. they call. him Rock John S. for distinct.
JOHN, Sudbury, a. 1647 had w. Sarah. JOHN, Guilford 1643, a blacksmith, 
said to have come from Boston, and ano. John was there at the
same time. JOHN, Charlestown, by Farmer call. ship carpenter; had
Zechariah, b. by w. Sarah, 29 Mar. 1656, and prob. sev. bef. as Benoni,
[[120]]
his s. d. 15 June 1646; and she was adm. of the ch. 23 Sept. 1652, and
he and they may have been bapt. as the rec. for many yrs. bef. 1659 is
wholly defic. and 5 Feb. 1660 appears Rebecca, d. of sis. S. His will
of 8 Mar. 1672, of wh. w. Sarah, s. John, and ano. were Excors. names

Mar. foll. JOHN, Providence, call. the mason for distinct. m. bef. 1661,
a d. of Samuel Comstock had Leonard, d. young; John, d. young; and
Joseph; rem. to Warwick, there d. without will, and the municipal governm. 
supplied the want, 14 Sept. 1668. He was useful as a surveyor.
JOHN, Watertown, may have been that youth, aged 13, wh. came from
London in the Planter, 1635, prob. s. of Alice, 40, in the same sh. In
his will of 12 Apr. 1665, pro. 27 Sept. 1669, names ch. John, Richard,
Alice, and Ann, w. of John Moore, wh. is made Ex'cor. and may have
been his fellow-passeng. JOHN, Dedham, by w. Margaret had John, b.
5 July 1641, and the next entry is, John, d. 14 Aug. 1645, says the rec.
but he may have been the ch. and the f. liv. 1660. JOHN, Milford
1640; and ano. JOHN was there 1646, both sen. and jun. freem. in
1669; but tho. not f. and s. are easily disting. The elder, wh. d. 1684,

1644; John, b. 27 Aug. 1616; Mary, 1648; Ebenezer, 10 Nov. 1651,
d. young; Mercy, bapt. 5 Dec. 1652, d. at 18 yrs.; and Mehitable, 25
Mar. 1655. Only four of these liv. to maturity, viz. Ephraim; John;
Mary, wh. m. Abel Gunn of Derby; and Mehitable, wh. m. 1674, Edward 
Camp. His wid. d. 1690. Of the younger John, not s. of the
preced. we learn, that he was a blacksmith, m. 19 July 1665, Sarah, d.
of Lieut. William Fowler of the same, had Joseph; John, b. 1669, d.
young; Jonathan, 5 Sept. 1671; and John, again, 18 June 1674, wh. d.
young. For sec. w. he m. 1694, Clemence, wid. of Jonathan Hunt of Northampton, 
and d. 1704. JOHN, Hampton 1614, was, prob. the progenit. of
a line of Smiths in that town, and his d. Deborah was first w. of Nathaniel 
Bachiler. JOHN, wh. by Farmer is nam. of Boston, com. from Ireland, 
and adm. of the ch. 1640, must be look. at as a supernum. for the
ch. rec. in the yr. foll. giv. only this foundat. for such a statem. "21 of
the 12th 1640 Mrs. Hannah S. the w. of one Mr. John Smyth in Ireland" 
and it may seem as prob. (no more being heard of her) that she
went to him, as that he came to her. The gr. rebellion in I. broke out;
the same yr. JOHN, Dorchester, came in 1635 with w. and d. Mary (in
the James of Bristol), the ch. brot. from Warrington, Lancash. on a horse
in a pannier, balanc. by young Nathaniel, s. of Rev. Richard Mather,
then five yrs. old, as a decent tradit. relates; and in that voyage partook
the vexat. and dangers so well relat. by Mather, in Young's Chron.
Here he uas prob. freem. 7 Dec. 1636, and hall by w. Catharine other
[[121]]
ch. for wh. the will gives us some light, slightly confus. by the artic. in
Geneal. Reg. V. 46a, mak. the d. some mos. earlier than the will, and
one ch. b. less than 3 mos. after a former. The heroine of the pannier
m. Nathaniel Glover, and next, Gov. Hinckley, and d. 29 July 1703, in
her 73d yr. Her f.'s will made 28 Dec. 1676, some mos. aft. the date
ment. in Geneal. Reg. for his d. with a codic. was pro. 25 July 1678.
JOHN, Watertown 1640, s. of Adrean. the w. of Jeremiah Norcross, had w.
Mary. JOHN, Rowley, s. perhaps, of Hugh, m. Faith, d. prob. of Francis
Parrott, had, says Gage, John, and Jonathan, tw. b. 1659. Perhaps both
d. and he d. 1661, leav. d. Sarah. His wid. I think, m. Ezekiel Jewett.
JOHN, Saco, freem. 1653, had been there from 1636, and we would
gladly learn more of him. JOHN, Plymouth, usually call. jr. able to bear
arms 1643, was not, perhaps, s. of the first John of the same, m. 4 Jan.
1649, Deborah, d. of Arthur Howland of Marshfield, had Hasadiah, b.
11 Jan. 165O; John, 1 Oct. 1651; Josiah, 16 Apr. 1652; Eleazer, 20
Apr. 1654; and Hezekiah, 8 Feb. 1656. JOHN, Eastham, call. sen. had
w. Lydia, wh. d. 21 July 1672, and he m. 15 Nov. foll. Jael Packer, or
Packard, d. of Samuel the first, of Bridgewater.  JOHN, Hingham, freem. 
1647, as to me seems more prob. tho. Farmer decid. for 1654, m. May 1645, 
Sarah, d. of Ralph Woodward of the same, had, perhaps, sev. ch. besides 
John, b. 19 Sept. 1653, was lieut. 1661, rep. lG83 and aft. till chos. Assist. 
1686, in wh. he contin. to serve until the new Chart. and d. May 1695.
JOHN, Providence, call. for distinct. Jamaica John, perhaps bec. he came
from there, was d. bef. 20 May 1685, when his s. John executes a
deed, in wh. he styles hims. s. and heir. JOHN, Taunton, had Elizabeth b.
7 Sept. 1663; Henry, 27 May 1666; perhaps others. JOHN, Salem
1609, was a tailor; and Felt names ano. John, Salem 1660, a malster,
who had w. Ann. Ano. JOHN, of Salem, was a mason in 1671. One of
these Salem Johns, at the ord. of Rev. John Higginson, in 1660, rais. a
disturb. Perhaps his w. Margaret and her ch. were then in prison at
Boston, as quakers. See Hutch. I. 203. In his will of 20 Jan. 1679, it
is seen, that he had two s. viz. George and Exercise, ds. Tamosin and
Margaret, that his w. was sis. of Joshua Buffum, to wh. was giv. the s.
Exercise, as was George to ano. of that peacef. sect. JOHN, Dorchester, had 
James, and Mary, wh. were adult when they were bapt. in right of their mo. 
10 June 1683, she then being w. of Ellis Wood as the ch. rec. tells. But
very curious rec. of bapt. is found few mos. preced. as follows: "The
childr. of Miriam, the w. of Ellis Smith, were bapt. 19 Nov. 1682, viz.
Ann, Miriam, Sarah, and David." Who was f. of these ch. is on the face
of the rec. doubtful. No such man as Ellis Smith can be heard of, and
easy eno. might the scribe mistake this name tor Wood, if we may assume 
that the w. of Wood was bring. up to the font offspring of her
former h. John Smith, wh. d. 1682. JOHN, New London 1658, call.
"nailor Smith" had come from Boston (where he liv. in 1653), with w.
Joanna, and only ch. Elizabeth made collector of the imposts, 1659, freem.
[[122]]
1666; was deac. and d. 4 Oct. 1670. His wid. d. 1687, aged a. 73;
and Elizabeth m. a Way of Lyme. Caulkins, 323. JOHN, Dedham 1661,
may be the h. of a d. of Philip Eliot of Roxbury, nam. in his will.
JOHN, Watertown, s. of the first Thomas of the same, m. 1 Apr. 1665,
Mary, d. of Anthony Beers, had Mary, b. 15 June 1667; John, 8 Aug.
1668; Abigail, 29 June 1670; Hannah, 27 Dec. 1672; Sarah, 7 June
1675; and perhaps, but not prob. Samuel, whose day of b. as giv. by
Bond, 10 Mar. 1700, excites suspic. of error. JOHN, Eastham, m. 24
May 1667, Hannah Williams, had Elizabeth b. 24 Feb. 1669; Sarah, 27
Mar. 1672; perhaps Mercy, 17 Sept. 1676; and Ebenezer, 16 Jan.
1680; yet some uncertainty arises as to the names and births of some.
Ano. JOHN, Eastham, m. 30 Nov. 1668, Mary Eldridge, perhaps d. of
Robert of the same, had John, b. 18 Oct. 1669; Jeremiah, 27 Dec.
1670; William, 2 Aug. 1672; a d. 10 Feb. 1675; Mary, 30 Nov.
1676, d. soon; Mary, again, 15 Jan. 1678; Beriah, 21 Mar. 1680; Bethia, 
16 Jan. 1682; and Mehitable, 1 May 1691; but some confus. is
appar. in the assignm. of the ch. to these two Johns in Geneal. Reg.
VII. 279. JOHN, Boston, mason, in his will of 27 Oct. 1678, pro. 8
Nov. foll. aft. giv. £4. ea. to his f. and mo. and relinq. half of their debts
to his serv. Mungo Craford, and John Wilson, names his two ch. Jeremiah, 
wh. should have 2/3 of his est. and Joseph 1/3, as ea. reach. 21 yrs.
JOHN, Hampton, a tailor, and JOHN, Hampton, a cooper, ea. took o. of
alleg. 1678, of wh. one may have been f. and one s. but it is not very
prob. and I am ign. of the priority; only the cooper, it is said, by w.
Huldah had Abigail, b. 24 Feb. 1688.   One of them was s. of JOHN,
late of the Vineyard, but I find in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 52, no mark of
time, to inform what late refers to. JOHN, Providence, call. junr. in
May 1671, when he engag. alleg. JOHN, Newbury, perhaps s. of
Thomas of the same, freem. 1671, m. 26 Nov. 1667, Rebecca, d. of the
first Samuel of the same, had John, b. 14 Sept. 1668, d. in a mo. Rebecca, 
1 Aug. 1669; John, again, 20 Oct. 1671, d. young; Mary, 20
Dec. 1673; John, again, 17 Mar. 1678; Samuel, 31 Jan. 1680, d.
young; Josiah, 28 Mar. 1687; Hannah, 27 Jan. 1690; and Dorothy,
20 Aug. 1692. JOHN, Hadley, s. of lieut. Samuel of the same, m. 12
Nov. 1663, Mary, d. of William Partridge, had John, b. 15 May 1665,

Newbury's despatches in Conn. Rec. II. 450. His s. Joseph was ancest.
of the late Oliver S. wh. had gain. the largest est. of any person in all
the neighb. of Hatfield, and by his will design. to favor that and the
adjoin. towns. JOHN, Fairfield, s. of Giles of the same, of wh. no more
[[123]]
is kn. but only that he d. 1690. JOHN, Boston, bricklayer, m. 1671,
Sarah, the young wid. of John Wilmot. JOHN, Taunton, call. jun. may
have had Deborah, b. 7 Mar. 1676; Hannah, 22 Mar. 1678; and John,
6 Dec. 1680. But, in so common a name, sen. and jun. are very inadeq.
to express distinct. betw. two hav. the same bapt. name, when the order
of time may be uncert. JOHN, Milford, s. of the first John of the same,
m. a. 1669, Phebe Campfield, perhaps d. of Matthew, or Thomas.
JOHN, Charlestown 1674, a mason, householder in 1678, was perhaps
he, wh. m. at Woburn, 7 May 1674, Abigail, d. of Rev. Thomas Carter;
but no ch. appear in bapt. at C. and perhaps they were carr. to W. for
bapt. by the gr.f. JOHN, York, call. jr. when he sw. alleg. 1681, wh. may
lead us to presume that an elder John liv. there, tho. he may have been
s. of the John of Saco, one of the chief men. JOHN, Dover 1675, perhaps 
s. of George of the same, rem. to Little Compton, there m. says
tradit. and had two ds. JOHN, Newport, by w. Susanna had Rebecca,
b. 14 Oct. 1678. JOHN, Hingham, prob. s. of John of the same, freem.
1679, then call. jun. JOHN, Dartmouth 1686. JOHN, Hadley, sec. s. of
Philip the first of the same, m. 29 Nov. 1683, Joanna, d. of Joseph Kellogg, 
had John, b. 3 Dec. 1684; Joanna, 7 Sept. 1686; Rebecca, 5
Aug. 1688; Joseph, 19 July 1690; Martin, 15 Apr. 1692; Eleazer, 25

Oct. 1705; and Mindwell, 25 May 1708; and he d. 16 Apr. 1727.
JOHN, York, call. junr. on sw. alleg. 1680, to the k. JOHN, Cambridge
vil. or Newton, a tanner, by w. Sarah, prob. d. of Henry Prentice of the
same, m. 8 June 1676, had Sarah, b. 31 Mar. foll. d. next mo.; John, 2
Mar. 1678; Sarah, again, 17 Aug. 1681; Thankful; Rachel, 19 Dec.

Esther, 20 July 1703; Ephraim, 5 Oct. 1704; Josiah, 27 May 1707;

Haven, s. of George, was a propr. 1685. JOHN, Charlestown, s. of
Thomas, the butcher, was a mariner, d. at Jamaica, 22 July 1688.
One JOHN, at Dartmouth, took o. of fidel. in 1684. JOHN, Gloucester,
by w. Abigail had Miriam, b. 20 Aug. 1689, and prob. more ch. by ano.
w. See Babson, 159. JOHN, Salem, m. 29 July 1689, Patience. youngest 
d. of Samuel Shattuck of the same. JOHN, Eastham, youngest s. of
Samuel first of the same, m. 14 May 1694, Bethia, d. of Stephen Snow,
had James, b. 13 Feb. 1695, d. next yr.; and Samuel, 25 May 1696. Ano.
JOHN, of Eastham, I think was s. of John the third of the same, and by

Sarah, 6 Nov. 1699; William, 6 Sept. 1702; Lydia, 24 Apr. 1704;
[[124]]
Seth, 28 Jan. 1706; Elizabeth Mar. 1708; Rebecca, Mar. 1710; and John,
13 Mar. 1713. After assid. attent. I am unable to give distinct. to any
more Johns, tho. beyond doubt there were sev. wh. would be embrac. by
my plan; yet the ingenuity of any single antiquary would be oft. at fault,
even if his patience were not exhaust. in pursuit of the local habitat. of
all. In Boston alone were four tax payers of the name in 1695. JONATHAN, 
Wethersfield, s. of Richard the first of the same, made freem.
1657, m. 1 Jan. 1664, Martha, d. of Francis Bushnell, prob. had sev. ch.
bef. rem. to Middletown, where he had Gershom, b. Nov. 1679; and
Deborah, 23 Sept. 1682; went back to W. where, tho. he sold part of
his est. he held other lds. on the E. side of the gr. riv. and join. with his
neighb. in obtain. incorpo. of Glastenbury, liv. 1698. JONATHAN, Exeter, 
took the o. of alleg. 30 Nov. 1677. JONTHAN, Farmington 1678,
eldest s. of William of Wethersfield, m. Mary, d. of Joseph Bird, had
Elizabeth Samuel, Jonathan, Mary, Mehitable, wh. was bapt. 11 Oct. 1691;
Sarah, 24 Dec. 1693; Abigail, 29 Dec. 1695; William, perhaps 30
June 1700; and Eleazer, perhaps 20 Sept. 1702. But whether all were
by first w. is unkn. as are dates of b. of four earliest ch. he had sec. w.
Rachel, d. of Samuel Steele; and third w. Sarah, he took in 1714, and
d. 5 Apr. 1721; and his wid. m. Thomas Bird. JONATHAN, Watertown,

Joseph of the same. JOSEPH, Wethersfield, freem. 1657, had been
of Middletown, but m. Lydia, d. of Thomas Wright, of W. and had
Lydia, b. 1654; Joseph, Mar. 1660; Jonathan; and Samuel, Aug.

Mary, b. 28 Feb. 1643; ar. co. 1642, freem. 10 May 1643, oft. 3. selectman, 
d. 3 Oct. 1665. In his will ment. is found of w. and ch. but names
of none are seen, exc. w. Mary. His w. Mary was Extrix. LEONARD,
Providence, of wh. I see nothing, but that he was among those wb. in
June 1668, engag. alleg. LESTER, Boston, came in the Speedwell from
London, arr. 27 July 1656, aged 24; but no more is kn. of him. MARMADUKE, 
Rye, then claim. as belong. to Conn. was in 1669 a sort of
preacher to the people there, but not to the satisfact. of the governm.
See Trumbull, Col. Rec. Ir. 120. MARTIN, Northampton, took the o. of
alleg. 8 Feb. 1679. He may be the man k. 29 Feb. 1704 at Deerfield,
by the Fr. and Ind. MATTEHEW, Charlestown, a cordwinder, came, 1637,
from Sandwich, Co. Kent, with w. Jane and four ch. and was that yr.
adm. inhab. of C. tho. Felt shows, that Salem made him gr. of ld. perhaps 
conditional. His w. was rec. by the ch. 22 Dec. 1639; but no
bapt. is ment. on the rec. nor can the names of those brot. from Eng. be
ascertain. He was a householder in 1658, and perhaps in 1678, under
the title of goodman. MATTHEW, Watertown, wh. sw. fidel. in 1652,
may be the man claim. by Eaton among early sett. of Reading, but the
Boston rec. of d. call. him "of W. and s. in law of Thomas Cooper of
B." shows that be was" drown. at Noddle's isl. 21 May 1658." He was,
I presume, a young man, whose mo. the wid. S. of W. had m. Cooper.
MATTHEW, Woburn, prob. s. of Matthew of Charlestown, b. in Eng.

Woburn, s. of the preced. m. 20 June 1684 (tho. ano. rec. has it
2 Mar. 1682), Mary, d. of John Cutler of the same. MICHAEL, Charlestown
[[127]]
1644, liv. on the Malden side, adm. of the ch. 1 July 1645; had
been fin. for voting unduly, but the tender mercy of the Gen. Court in
May 1647, when he was made freem. extend. to him, as "being poor
and of an harmless disposition, and the act done in simplicity." He
prob. had sev. ch. and Farmer names Samuel, b. 19 July 1648. but this
is aft. the sad vacuity in our ch. rec. of bapt. Yet aft. the blessed restorat. 
not of Charles II. but of the writing down of ch. brot. to the font,
I find Sarah, "d. of our br. M. S. (of Malden side)" on 4 Aug. 1661;
was a householder 1658. MORRIS, Gloucester, m. 4 Nov. 1681, Sarah
Millet, perhaps d. of Thomas, or, as Babson thinks more prob. wid. of
John. By her he had Sarah, b. 1683; and Morris, 1686. He was sexton 
of the ch. and in that office was succeed. by Stephen Robinson, wh.
m. his d. Sarah. NATHAN, New Haven, s. of George of the same, was

10 Aug. 1682.  NATHANIEL, Charlestown, a householder in 1658.
NATHANIEL, Haverhill, m. 14 May 1663, Elizabeth had, perhaps d. of
Daniel, was, freem. 1668. NATHANIEL, Weymouth, by w. Experience
had John, b. 26 Aug. 1679; and Hannah, 29 Mar. 1687; was freem.
1681. NATHANIEL, Hampton, took o. of alleg. Dec. 1678; and NATHANIEL, 
Hadley, took the same o. in Feb. foll. NATHANIEL, Hartford,

Jan. 169S; Susanna, 1699; Jerusha; Abigail, 1704; Gideon; and Joseph; 
beside perhaps some earlier, or some of these may have been; but
these six were liv. 1715. He was s. of Joseph, and his wid. Esther m.
Hezekiah Porter. NATHANIEL, Hatfield, s. of Philip the first, m. 6

Marshfield, I hear no more of, exc. that in an eminent. confus. obitua.
on p. 82 of Geneal. Reg. XIV. Ann, a d. of the first Thomas Bourne,
is said to m. Rev. Nehemiah S. in 1639. NEHEMIAH, New Haven, had
Sarah, and Mary, b. 1642; Hannah, 1644, all bapt. 14 Dec. 1645;
Mercy and Elizabeth 1645, both bapt. 22 Feb. 1646; and Nehemiah, bapt.
not (as in Geneal. Reg. IX. 362) 24 Oct. but 25, 1646; all in right of his

Exeter, d. says Farmer, 1673. He thinks him s. of William of Weymouth. 
NICHOLAS, Exeter 1658, perhaps f. of that young Nicholas,
wh. was k. by the Ind. 5 July 1697. Comp. Magn. VII. 91 with
Storer's despatch in Geneal. Reg. III. 165. NICHOLAS, Milford, m. 12

Eleanor, b. 17 Feb. 1684; Ruhamah, 21 Dec. 1685; and Sarah, 25
Oct. 1687.  PHILIP, Wethersfield, sec. s. of Samuel, brot. at one yr.
old by his f. from Eng., made freem. 1654, m. 1657, Rebecca, youngest
d. of Nathaniel Foote, soon rem. and is the same wh. in Hadley, among
its new sett. took the freem.'s o. for Mass. 26 Mar. 1661; was rep. for
Hadley 1677, 80-4, aft. wh. last he d. 10 Jan. foll. was selectman, lieut.
of horse, and deac. yet "murder. with an hideous witchcraft, that fill. all
those parts of N. E. with astonishment," as most minutely is told in the
Magn. VI. 70. Still the wonder did not so far outrun conscience and
common sense, as to prevail on the trial of Mary Webster, charg. for
such clear malignities not only against Smith, the hypochondriac suffer.
but others; even tho. she was before a jury at Boston, then peculiar.
expos. to false impress., she was acquit. and d. peaceably at Hadley.
Years more were need. for the full triumph of the devil and Cotton
Mather. His Ch. were Samuel, b. Jan. 1659; John, 18 Dec. 1661;
Jonathan, 1663; Philip, 1665; Rebecca, 1668; Nathaniel, 1671; Joseph, 
1674, H. C. 1695; and Ichabod, 11 Apr. 1675 or 6; all the eight
are ment. in his will. His wid. m. 2 Oct. 1688, Major Aaron Cook, of
Northampton, wh. d. 6 Sept. 1690, and she d. at Il. 6 Apr. 1701. His

17 July 1709; and Hannah, 20 Nov. 1711; and d. 26 Jan. 1725.
His wid. d. 17 May 1733. RALPH, Plymouth, came, in 1629, with Higinson 
in the Talbot, for supply of the Pilgrims from Leyden, as their
first min. He had been bred at Christ's coll. Cambridge, where he had
[[129]]
his A. B. 1613, but our Gov. and comp. felt some distrust of his tendency 
to separat. and his success in various stations seems abundant. to
confirm their judgment. He m. perhaps in 1634, Mary, wid. of Richard 
Masterson, and for a time gave up his office in 1635, when a hope
of obtain. Norton was felt, but prob. resum. it, and was active in opposit.
to Gorton, 1638; but dismiss. bef. 1645, when he preach. to the small
body at Manchester, was of Salem ch. 1647, and perhaps with w. Mary,
wh. join. in 1650; but in 1655 was among the early sett. at Eastham,
(unless this man was ano. Ralph); but out of office he d. at Boston 1
Mar. 1661, the rec. proves, not 2 as Farmer had been told. Among his
many wanderings, he may have found trans. resid. 1657, at New London, 
and again in 1659. Caulkins, 322. RALPH, Hingham, from Hingham, Co. 
Norf. came, it is said by Lincoln, 1633, and sat down at our Hingham 1635; 
prob. went to Eastham, there, was constable 1660; had Deborah, b. 8 Mar.1654; 
Samuel, older than her; Thomas; and prob. other ch. His w. Grace with s. Samuel, 
had admin. of his est. 27 Oct. 1685. Yet in this much doubt is felt, for Roxbury
rec. of d. in 1672 has RALPH, aged 95, of wh. more strange is it, that
nothing else was ever heard, so that I fear error in this Roxbury rec.
tho. he may have been the Hingham man. RICHARD, Taunton 1638,
one of the first purch. was from Gloucestersh. may be the man, wh. went
to R. I. the next yr. and some yrs. aft. was the promin. man on the
main, hav. a large trad. ho. in the Narraranset land, perhaps two,
North Kingston and Wickford, purch. of the sachem in 1641, and this,
in my opin. led to tak. side against Gorton and his assoc. wh. bot. of
other sachems a principality of Showamet, or Warwick, to the Northward 
of Smith, wh. made Arnold and comp. of Providence cry out
against G. and his friends, wh. preach. bad doctrines in the judgment of
Mass. people, and thence in the summer came the cruel, if not perfidious,
slaughter of Miantinomo, head of both parties of the Ind. and next the
relig. war of 1643 against Gortonism. For his knowledge Smith was
employ. with others, in Oct. 1643 "to fetch the cattle from Providence,"
being the plunder our forces took with the misbelieving prisoners.
Comp. Col. Rec. II. 43 with Winthrop II. 84 and 142-8. In that wide
estate, aft. a brief trial at Newtown, L. I. he enjoy. gr. esteem forty yrs.
as sovereign of all Misquamicuck, Caucumsquissic, and Pettaquamscut,
was honor. with a commiss. as chief magistr. from Conn. 1671, as he had
support. their rights against the claims of Providence, wh. were favor. by
the royal commiss. in 1665. His s. of the same name was made constable 
there 1663, when the Conn. Counc. dignif. his neighborhood with the
town rights of Wickford; but the ultimate decision of the disput. title, in
the highest tribunal at home, went contrary to both Mass. and Conn.
RICHARD, Wethersfield 1648, then hav. full grown childr. of wh. Mary
m. that yr. Matthias Treat, was involv. in the controv. with his min.
[[130]]
Russell, that caus. the rem. l6O9, of many of the parish, and founda.
(by R. and his friends) of Hadley; but if not d. he was too old to rem.
and contin. at W. His s. Richard's name is on the list of freem. 1669,
and his d. Esther m. John Strickland; Beriah m. Richard Fox; and
Bethia m. 15 Aug. 1684, Joshua Stoddard. Other ch. were Jonathan,
wh. he estab. in est. as early as 1662; Samuel; Joseph; and Benjamin.
But I ought to add, that these ch. are by Chapin reckon. gr. ch. of the
first sett. of 1648, and progeny of his s. Richard. With him I agree,
tho. not to receive the result of his testim. in 1684 when he tells of coming 
from the Vineyard "30 or 40 yrs. ago," yet ment. no f. Perhaps we
may resolve that Richard jr. whose ch. are here refer. to, and whose
will of 1680 could not have effect bef. 4 July 1690, when is notic. the
first d. in W. of any Richard, was s. of the chief man of the town. But,
for a season, sev. yrs. bef. 1673, there was only one, tho. three bef. R. S.
at W. and of wills or est. in prob. there is only one exc. the insolv.
R. S. call. of Hartford. RICHARD, Ipswich 1642, as Farmer's MS.
has it, without a word of add. but it is kn. there was one of the name
there 1678. He may have been s. of Richard of Shropham, Co. Norf.
short dist. from E. Harling. RICHARD, New London 1652, came from
the Vineyard, but soon rem. to Wethersfield, there, says Caulkins, call.
senr. and we can hardly doubt that he is the promin. Richard of W.
RICHARD, Watertown, sw. fidel. 1652, perhaps was of Lancaster, and
m. 2 Aug. 1654, Joanna Quarles. RICHARD, Boston, came in the
Speedwell, July 1656, aged 43, may be the man wh. had (with cons. of
their f.) bound to him ch. Edward Phillips for ten yrs. and Deborah P.
for 13 yrs. on 12th May 1671, whose indent. on 21 July foll. he assign.
to Henry Green of Rumney Marsll, now Chelsea, or perhaps Malden.
He was prob. a bricklayer. RICHARD, Wethersfield, call. jun. prob. not
s. of Richard of the same, yet, like him, had been of New London, in
1655, was adm. freem. 1658, and is on the list of W. with the other.
Difficult as it is to attain certainty, it seems highly prob. that he is the
same person, wh. at Hartford, 1665 and 6, is call. junr. yet had s.
Samuel well grown, and may be he wh. d. at H. 1689 insolv. Still the
opin. of Mr. Chapin is entit. to gr. weight, and aft. fluctuat. long, my
friend, Sylvester Judd, concluded, that the Richard Smiths are more
confus. than the John S. RICHARD, Lyme, propound. for freem. 1671,
had d. Elizabeth wh. m. John Lee. RICHARD, Salisbury, m. 17 Oct. 1666,
Sarah Chandler, had Lucy, b. 17 Sept. 1667; Richard, 30 Oct. 1669;
William, 10 Mar. 1673; Mary, 13 Mar. 1676; and his w. d. 6 July,
1682. He took the o. of alleg. 1677, and was freem. 1690. RICHARD,
New London, m. 4 Mar. 1670, Bathsheba, d. of James Rogers, had
James, bapt. 12 Apr. 1674; Elizabeth; John; and Bathsheba; d. 1682,
[[131]]
and his wid. m. Samuel Fox. RICHARD, Wickford, call. jun. 1663, s. of
Richard the first, purch. Hog Isl. in Narraganset Bay, was one of the
Counc. of Sir Edmund Andros. See Hutch. I. 354 in note. His will,
of 16 Mar. 1691, call. hims. of Rochester in the King's Prov. at Narraganset, 
allows us to suppose, that he had no ch. for it gives all the
income of his various est. to his w. for her natural life, and no longer,
aft. wh. the whole to kinsmen, Lodowick and Daniel Updike," &c. &;c.
for wh. we may care less than to obs. the fact, that the instrum. was pro.
by our Gov. Sir William Phips, 12 July 1692, only tuo or three days
prior to devolv. that office upon Stoughton. RICHARD, Falmouth, by w.
Mary had Thomas, b. 1 684; rem. to Marblehead, and had Richard,
1689, rem. again to Gloucester, where Babson notes those bs. were rec.

Hartford controv.), to Hadley, where he wag in very high repute, rep.
oft. from 1661 to 73, lieut. in com. of the milit. from 1663 to 78, then

Of his five s. three, viz. the eldest, sett. at Suffleld, where Ichabod, the
youngest of them had Samuel, b. 1700, wh. m. Jerusha, d. of Atherton

days of this genealogy, so as to make the blood of the Mathers follow
thro. wrong f. and wrong m. beside sinking in the male line one generat.
yet grasp. in the female at one too old. See p. 34 in the valua. Centen.
of Rev. Alonzo B. Chapin, where all the error is giv. for truth. His
Excellency, John Cotton Smith, Y. C. 1783, late Gov. of Conn. was
thus, it is ssid, misdirect. by his f. Rev. Cotton Mather S. Y. C. 1751,
wh. seems to have partak. in one ill habit of his illustr. namesake. How
he should exchange the name of his mos. f. for that of her gr.f. is less
strange, however, than it might seem, if we suppose the reference being

m. 21 Apr. 1693, Abigail Page. WILLIAM, Lynn, s. prob. of William 
of the same, was freem. 1690. WILLIAM, Charlestown, may have
been that youngest s. of Thomas, whose bapt. 12 Feb. 1682, is rec. in

Weymouth, f. of Abigail, the mo. of first Presid. Adams. This name
Farmer truly calls, "the most freq. of any in N. E. and perhaps in the

found at Yale, 35 at Dartmouth, and only 38 at Harv.

at Newbury. WILLIAM, Boston, prob. s. of the preced. m. Margaret,
wid. of William Rogers, had Mary, b. 20 June 1677; but, it is said by
Farmer, that no descend. remain.
    SNOOKE, JAMES, Weymouth, by his will, of 22 June 1655, pro. 19
July foll. of wh. he made his w. Margaret Extrix., he seems to have

other ch. s. and ds. bef. 1650. He rem. to Eastham in 1654, was

d. of Robert Barker, and had William, James, Joseph, Benjamin, Mary,
Lydia, Hannah, and Rebecca. WILLIAM Bridgewater, s. prob. of the
preced. m. Naomi, d. of Thomas Whitman. Of this name, in 1829,
Farmer says three had been gr. at Brown Univ. of wh. was Caleb H.
the dilig. and lament. hist. of Boston.
     SNUFFENE, GEORGE, if such a name be true, was propound. 1670, for
freem. in Conn.
     SOLART, or SALART, JOHN, Wenham 1656, had w. Sarah, nam. in
his will of 26 Sept. 1672; but perhaps she was then in Eng. certain. in
1676, when he went for her, was back here in 1679. From Prob. Reg.
we find, that his wid. had admin. the ch. were Elizabeth w. of Joseph Lovett;
Hannah, w. of John Trask; Martha, w. of Thomas Kilham; Abigail, w. of
Mordecai Larcum; Mary, wh. m. John Edwards; Sarah, wh. m. Daniel Poole;

He m. 23 July 1693, Dorcas, d. of Nathaniel Coffin; and she m. 1736, it is 
said, Nathaniel Gorham. MANUS, Charlestown, had Rebecca, b. 20 Oct. 1646. 
MATTHEW, Charlestown, perhaps br. of John, had w. Sarah, bapt. 20 Mar.
1681, with John, and Matthew (perhaps not tw.), their ch. at the same
time; a ch. whose name is omit. on the rec. 2 Apr. 1682; and Sarah, 22
June 1684. May not these persons have been Huguenots?
     SOLLENDEN, or SALINDINE, JOHN, Dunstable, m. 2 Apr. 1679, or 2
Aug. 1680 (by the rec. of Middlesex or Fox's Hist. respectiv.), Elizabeth
Usher, and F. gives the names and dates of the ch. Sarah, b. Apr. 1682;
John, May 1683; and Alice, Jan. 1686. He was a selectman, liv.
1695.
    SOMERBY, ABIEL, Newbury, s. of Anthony, freem. 1669, m. 13 Nov.
1661, Rebecca, d. of deac. Richard Knight, had Henry, b. 13 Nov.
[[140]]
1662; Elizabeth 20 Dec. 1664; Abiel, 2 Aug. 1667; Abigail, 25 Jan. 1670;
and Anthony and Rebecca, tw. posthum. 2 June 1672; for he d. 27 Dec.
1671. From him descends Horatio G. Somerby, the assid. enquir. for
geneal. in Eng. ANTHONY, Newbury, s. of Richard, gr. s. of Henry
of Little Bytham, 8 ms. from Stamford, in Co. Linc. where he was bapt.
16 Aug. 1610, came in the Jonathan, 1639, was freem. 18 May 1642, the
first sch. master, town clk. from 1648 to his d. at the end of July 1686,
aged 76. By w. Abigail, wh. d. 3 June 1673, he had Abiel only, b.
8 Sept. 1641. HENRY, Newbury, br. of the preced. with wh. he came,
was bapt. 17 Mar. 1612, m. Judith, d. of Capt. Edmund Greenleaf, had
Sarah, b. 10 Feb. 1645; Elizabeth Nov. 1646; John, 24 Dec. 1648, d.

2 Mar. 1653, Tristram Coffin. Elizabeth m. 25 Nov. 1663, Nathaniel Clark;
and next, 8 Aug. 1698, Rev. John Hale of Beverly.
     SOMERS, JOHN, Marshfield, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 1686; John,
1688; Mary, 1691; and Nathan, 1693. That the fam. rem. to Rochester, 
is told by Miss Thomas, but neither she, nor others, give the much
more interesting fact, where it came from.
     SOMES, JOHN, Boston, s. of Morris of Gloucester, m. Hannah, eldest
d. of Samuel Shattuck of Salem, the happy messeng. of Charles II.
who brot. the order to stop the execrable policy of persecut. the Quakers; 
made his will 13 Nov. 1687, pro. in 1700, when of sev. ch. only
Benjamin was liv. to settle the est. MORRIS, Gloucester, by w. Margery 
had Mary, b. 1 Mar. 1642, and Sarah, 15 June 1643. His w. d.
22 Jan. 1647; and he m. 26 June foll. Elizabeth d. of John Kendall of Cambridge, 
had John, 22 Apr. 1648; Lydia, 3 Oct. 1649; and some others,
of wh. Hannah, 3 Sept. 1608. He d. 1689. Mary m. 17 Oct. 1660,
John Hammond, and Sarah m. 15 June 1665, Henry Witham. TIMOTHY, 
Gloucester, perhaps s. of the preced. m. 2 Jan. 1672, Jane Stanwood, 
perhaps d. of Philip, had Timothy, b. 27 July 1673; Jane, 1
Dec. 1674; Alice, 11 Mar. 1677; Joseph, 26 Aug. 1679; and William,
24 Jan. 1682.
     SOPER, JOSEPH, Boston, m. 6 May 1656, Elizabeth d. of Thomas Alcock;
but I see no more of him, exc. that their s. Joseph was b. 5 Jan. 1660.
     SOULE, SOLE, or SOUL, GEORGE, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 
1620, under protect. of Edward Winslow, sign. the Cape Cod
compact in Nov. was tax. in 1633 and 4 independ. of W. had rem. to
Duxbury bef. 1643, by w. Mary Becket had George; Zechariah; John,
b. 1632; Nathaniel; Benjamin, but the order is unk. as also Patience,
Elizabeth and Mary, wh. m. John Peterson; all as Bradford says, bef. 1650.
He was rep. 1645, and some yrs. later; an orig. propr. of Bridgewater,
[[141]]
as in 1652, he had been among the purch. of Dartmouth. His w. d.
1677 and he d. 1680; in 1668 have est. in Middleborough to John Haskins 
and Francis Walker, wh. m. respectiv. Patience and Elizabeth GEORGE,
and NATHANIEL, s. of the preced. were of Dartmouth 1686, but no
acco. of either is gain. JOHN, Duxbury, s. of the first George, when
his f. made his will, was the oldest, by w. Esther had John; Joseph, b.
31 July 1679; Joshua, 12 Oct. 1681; Josiah, 1682; Benjamin; and two
ds. ZECHARY, Duxbury 1643, perhaps br. more prob. as Weston says,
s. of the preced. d. 1663, his wid. Margaret gave inv. on 11 Dec. Winsor
thinks, he had s. of the same name, wh. perish. in the unhappy expedit.
of Phips, 1690; and tells one of his cous. James, of Middleborough, wh.
was fin. L5 for refus. to go.
     SOUTH, JOHN, Dorchester, if the name spell. Sougth in the ret. of d.
1635, may thus be writ. Yet no such name is heard of at D. exc. in
this list of d. and it may be he was only trans. WILLIAM, Mass. sentenc. 
by Court of Assist. 4 Sept. 1638, and by the Gen. Ct. few days aft.
to be banish. on pain of d. but the rec. names not the offence.
     SOUTHCOATE, or SOUTHCOT, RICHARD, Dorchester 1630, came in
the Mary and John, req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. of that yr. and perhaps
18 May foll. was adm. under designat. of Capt. If so, had leave 26
July next to go to Eng. promis. to return with conven. speed; but came
not. Yet he may have been short time at Piscataqua in 1639. THOMAS,
Dorchester, prob. br. of the preced. an orig. patentee under the Great
Plymouth Comp. but not ment. in royal chart. came perhaps in the
Mary and John and req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and as he is
never ment. again, it is believ. that he went home that autumn.
     SOUTHER, SOUTER, or SOWTHER, JOHN, Boston, m. 11 Jan. 1661,
Hannah, d. of Robert Read, may not be the same, wh. tool; o. of alleg.
at Hampton, Dec. 1678, was keep. of the prison here 1683, perhaps had
sec. w. and d. at B. 2 Jan. 1697. JOSEPH, prob. of Boston, m. 22 Oct.
1657, Elizabeth d. of Daniel Fairfield, had Joseph, b. 20 Aug. 1658; John,
5 Sept. 1660; Hannah, 31 Aug. 1663; Paul, 30 Jan. 1666; Samuel, 9
Dec. 1670; Daniel, 12 Aug. 1674; and Dinah, 13 Apr. 1677; was
freem. 1684. NATHANIEL, Plymouth 1636, clk. of the Court, rem. to
Boston 1649, was freem. 1653, and a notary. His w. Alice d. 27 Sept.
1651; and he m. 5 Jan. 1654, wid. Sarah Hill, and d. 27 June 1655.
His wid. sold his est. in Feb. foll. His d. Mary m. 1 Dec. 1653, Joseph
Shaw, and next, 16 Aug. foll. John Blake.
     SOUTHMEAD, or SOUTHMAYD, JOHN, New London 1668, s. of William, 
the first, was a mariner and soon rem. WILLIAM Gloucester,
mariner and shipwright, m. 28 Nov. 1642, Milicent d. of William
Addis, had William, b. 12 Sept. 1643; John, 26 Oct. 1645, d. soon; and
[[142]]
John, again, 31 Dec. 1646. Soon aft. he d. for his inv. is found at Pro.
Ct. 20 Feb. 1649, wh. I regret to add, shows little prop. and his wid. m.
William Ash, wh. rem. a. 1650 to New London, and had 3d h. Thomas
Beebee, prob. was happy to give ch. to ea. WILLIAM, New London,
mariner and ship owner, eldest s. of the preced. rem. to Middletown, m.
Oct. 1673, Esther, d. of Giles Hamlin, had William, b. 1674, d. young;
John, 1676, H. C. 1697, min. of Waterbury; William, again, 1679, d.
young; Giles, 1680; and Esther, 1682, d. soon; by sec. w. Margaret, d.
of Hon. John Allyn of Hartford, had Allyn, b. 1685; Daniel, 1687, d.
at 16 yrs.; Margaret, 1691; Ann, 18 Jan. 1693; Joseph, 1695; William, 
again, 1698; and Milicent, 1700, wh. d. at 17 yrs. and he d.
Dec. 1702. His wid. wh. d. 16 Mar. 1733, in her will of 5 Dec. 1728,
names only four of her ch. Margaret Gaylord, Ann Stillman, Joseph,
and William. The name is well perpet. in Conn.
     SOUTHWELL, EBENEZER, Northampton, s. of William of the same, m.
Elizabeth d. of Samuel Judd, had Elizabeth b. 28 June 1721; and he rem. to
Suffield. ENOCH, Northampton, br. of the preced. m. 1732, but Mr.
Judd omits the w's. name, tho. he add. that he had ch. until 1743. WILLIAM, 
Northampton, m. 24 Feb. 1687, Sarah, d. of John Stebbins of the
same, was freem. 1690, had Mary, b. 25 Feb. 1688; Enoch, 1689, d.
soon; Sarah, 19 Nov. 1690; Ebenezer, 17 Jan. 1694; Abigail, Apr.
1696, d. young; Hannah, 16 Sept. 1698; Enoch, again, 26 Apr. 1700;
and John, b. and d. 1703. No gain has follow. the search for this man's
origin; and perhaps one of the very few instances of emigrat. from
Eng. to our country, later than 1670, may be this of Southwell. More
than the proportion of ninety-five in the hundr. of the populat. of N. E.
in 1775, had descend. I think, from the sett. wh. came at least 25 yrs.
bef. that earlier date.
     SOUTHWICK, DANIEL, s. of Lawrence, m. 23 Feb. 1663, Esther,
d. of Joseph Boyce, had Esther, b. 26 June 1665; Elizabeth 24 June 1668;

JOSIAH, Salem, br. of the preced. by w. Mary had Joseph, b. 3 Apr. 
1662; Mary, Nov. 1664; Cassandra, Nov. 1667; and Ruth, 21 Feb. 
1674.  LAWRENCE, Salem 1639, with. w. Cassandra join. the
ch. and was adm. freem. 6 Sept. of that yr. I presume, and on 6 Dec.
foll. had John, Josiah, Daniel, and Provided bapt. at once. Other ch.
were Mary, w. of Henry Trask, and Deborah. He was, I suppose, a
glass blower, had gr. of ld. for house lot of two acres; but in the dark
days of delus. against the quakers, 1658 and 1669, the whole fam. suffer.
much, fines and imprison. fell on all, and the d. Clarissa was subj. to gr.
severity. When the fines of Daniel and Provided were unpaid, the
tender-hearted Gen. Court, with intent to magnify the glory of God,
order. them to be sold for slaves to any Christians in Virg. or Barbados.
We are permit. to rejoice, that the sentence was not enforc. and the f.
with his flock found refuge at Shelter isl. near the East end of L. I.
where in peace he made his will of 10 July 1659, allow. in 1660; James
the ch. Daniel. Provided, John, Josiah, and ds. Mary, w. of Henry
[[143]]
Trask, and Deborah; and his w. and hims. d. within three days of ea.
other, it is said. See Felt, II. 580-2, and Col. Rec. IV. part first, pp.
349, 366, 7, and 410. Much as they might love their native ld. the danger 
from their opin. requir. banishm. it seem. with a proviso, that they
should suffr death for return.
     SOUTHWORTH, CONSTANT, Plymouth, s. of Edward, b. 1610, 
was not brot. in the Ann 1623, by his wid. mo. when she came to m. 
Gov. Bradford, but came, it is presum. in 1628, was made freem.
of the col. and m. 2 Nov. 1637, Elizabeth d. of William Collier, resid. in
Duxbury, was rep. in 1647 and 22 yrs. foll. and on the d. of his br.
Capt. Thomas, was chos. an Assist. till his own d. 11 Mar. 1679, and

Duxbury, eldest s. of the preced. m. 16 Nov. 1669, Mary, d. of William
Peabody, had Thomas; Elizabeth b. 1672; Constant; Mercy; Benjamin;
Priscilla; and John; but their dates of b. are unkn. was rep. 1689
and 91 at Plymouth, and under the new chart. at Boston 1692 and 3.
NATHANIEL, Plymouth, br. of the preced. m. 10 Jan. 1672, Desire, d.
of Edward Gray, wh. d. 4 Dec. 1690, had Constant, b. 12 Aug. 1674;
Mary, 3 Apr. 1676; Ichabod, Mar. 1678; Elizabeth; Nathaniel, 10 May
1684; and Edward, 1688. He liv. at Middleborough, was a lieut. rep.
1696, and d. 14 Jan. 1711. THOMAS, Plymouth, br. of Constant,
prob. younger, came with him, was a milit. lieut. and capt. an Assist.
1652 and twelve times aft. until 1667, d. 8 Dec. 1669, in his 53d yr.
He and his br. Constant were among the purch. of Dartmouth. He m.
Sept. 1641, Elizabeth d. of Rev. John Reyner, had only d. Elizabeth wh. m. 7
Dec. 1664, lieut. Joseph, s. of John Howland of the Mayflower's
glorious comp. WILLIAM, Little Compton, s. prob. youngest of Constant, 
by w. Rebecca, wh. d. 3 or 23 Dec. 1702, in her 43d yr. had
Benjamin, b. 18 Apr. 1681; Joseph, 1 Feb. 1683; Edward, 23 Nov.
1684; Elizabeth 23 Sept. 1686; Alice, 14 July 1688; Samuel, 26 Dec.
1690; Nathaniel, 31 Oct. 1692; Thomas, 13 Dec. 1694; and Stephen,
31 Mar. 1696; and by sec. w. had Gideon, 21 Mar. 1707; and Andrew,
12 Dec. 1709; and d. 2O June 1719. The name is not now seen at
Little Compton, but is well diffus. in other parts of N. E. It was sometimes 
Southwood, in the early days, and belong. to "eminently a BassetLaw 
fam." by wh. I am constrain. to doubt the deduct. of pedigree,
as print. in Winsor, 31G. Sir Gilbert, Sir John, Sir Thomas, Sir
Christopher, may well have flourish. in Lancash. on the West Coast
of the kingdom, but Edward, the h. of Alice Carpenter, wh. bec. w.
[[144]]
of our Gov. Bradford, liv. on the E. side; and of a line, however
humble, long estab. there, so would not prob. draw his blood from
them. A very long l. of most val. public serv. in Mass. Conn. and
N. Y. proves, that honors from the Ct. of Queen Elizabeth were not 
need. Much benefit to thousands of inquirers on our side of the ocean
may be deriv. from wise use of a few words in the note of Mr. Hunter, 
on pp. 6 and 7 of "The founders of New Plymouth," Ed. 1854:
"mere possess. of a surname wh. coincides with that of an Eng. fam. is
no proof of connex. with that fam. Claims of alliance found. on this
basis are not the legitimate offspring of laborious genealog. inquiry, but
of self-love and the desire to fvund a reputa. for ancestorial honor
where no such honor is really due." Well is the topic explain. in
further remarks, found. on experience of more than one gross case of
indecent pretension.
     SOWDEN, THOMAS, Marblehead, 1674.
     SOWELL, THOMAS, Boston, by w. Elizabeth had Hannah, b. 2 Nov. 1652,

Benjamin is not ment. made w. Rachel Extrix. but she d. soon aft. him,

and on prob. of the will 5 Apr. 1670, admin. was giv. to John and

Sept. 1646; if the rec. be true; and yet ano. w. Elizabeth d. of Thomas

with Mary Guttridge, of wh. I am ign. whether she was wid. or maid;
so that we ought to hesitate, whether Spaul and Spowell be the same.
Mary his w. by his will of 23 Feb. 1671, was devisee of his ho. ld. and
personal est. while a wid. but aft. his d. Mary, w. of Joseph Knight, to

Dummer, chos. capt. by the Gen. Ct. Mar. 1637, but two mos. aft.
turn. out for his heresy in favor. Wheelwright, and Nov. foll. ord.
to surrender his arms.  See Winthrop I. 248.  He went home next yr.
and d. it is thot. in 1648, for in Mar. 1649, his will of 1 Aug.
1637, was pro. at Salem.  In it he ment. neph. John S. his heir,
br. Thomas Spencer, and cous. Ann Knight.  JOHN, Haddam, s. perhaps

his seventh s. of John and Susanna Spencer, was b. in E. G. 22 July
1679. a. 5 o'clock in the morn. and was the first Eng. ch. b." there. But
he had liv. in some part of the Col. a dozen yrs. bef. for he was freem.
1668, yet since no trace of him is earlier seen, or any report of progenit.
my conject. is that he is one of the few that came over aft. the restorat.
of Charles II. and had w. and some ch. soon aft.  Perhaps his w. was
d. Audrey or Susanna, of John Greene the sec. of Warwick.  He had sec. 
w. and d. 1684, as the will made by the town governm. ment. her and the 
ch. in the order, prob. of age, John, Michael, Benjamin, William, Robert,
Abner, Thomas, Peleg, and Susanna.  MICHAEL, Cambridge 1634, br.

there m. 7 Dec. 1671, Rebecca, d. of Thomas Sweetman, had Rebecca,
b. 4 Nov. 1673.  Porter claims the elder Michael as an inhab. of Hartford, 
on Mill str. 1645; but I conject. that his eye mistook Mr. for this name.  
NATHANIEL, Haddam, s. of Jared, m. 1681, Lydia, d. of Thomas

Cambridge 1632, br. of Jared and John, freem. 14 May 1634, rem. 1638
at Hartford, was serj. of the milt. and had, in 1671, a gr. for serv. d. 11
Sept 1686.  By his first w. he had Obadiah, Thomas, Samuel, and
Jared, but he m. sec. w. 11 Sept. 1645, Sarah, only ch. of Nathaniel
Barding or Bearding of H. and by her had Sarah; Elizabeth bapt. 26 Mar.

May 1657; of wh. Sarah m. Thomas Huxley; Elizabeth m. Samuel Andrews;
and Martha m. a Benton.  THOMAS, Concord, 1666, by Farmer was
thot. to be the freem. of 1681; tho. as the rec. calls him of Suffield.
it seems to me equal. prob. that the foll. was he.  THOMAS, Hartford, s.
of Thomas of the same, on the list of freem. 1669, adm. 1658, with br.
Obadiah, m. Esther, d. of William Andrews, had Abigail, wh. d. young;

1680; liv. for most of his days at Suffield, and d. 23 July 1689, and his
wid. d. 6 Mar. 1698.  THOMAS, Haddam, s. of Jared of the same, rem.
to Saybrook, d. bef. 1703, had a w. but we kn. no more.  THOMAS, East
Greenwich, s. of John of the same, was a Physician, and d. 25 Apr.
1752.  TIMOTHY, Haddam, s. perhaps youngest, of Jared, had Timothy,

Sarah, Hannah, Deborah, to neither of wh. could Goodwin give date,
nor name of mo. nor m.; beside Ruth, b. 1689; and Jonathan, 1692;
and d. 1704.  * WILLIAM, Cambridge 1631, br. of Thomas, was much
betrust. one of that Comtee. appoint. 9 May 1632, at the gen. meet. of
the whole people, to confer with the Assist. a rais. common stock, wh.
soon led to erect. of ho. of reps. of wh. he was at the first, 1634, and

third, Sarah, and Elizabeth his ds. one third.  Sarah m. a. 1657, John Case
of Windsor, and Elizabeth m. 1649, William Wellman, and, next, 23 May
1672, Jacob Joy.  The wid. Agnes m. William Edwards, and so was the
happy instrum. of diffus. that illustr. name; of wh. Farmer MS. says
eleven had in 1834 been gr. at N. E. coll. six at Yale alone.  WILLIAM
was the name of a passeng. in the John and Mary 1634, from London,
with John, aforement. and may have been his br. but where he sat down
is unkn.  Yet one William was Kittery 1663.  WILLIAM, Haddam,
s. of Jared of the same, m. Sarah, d. of Nichoals Ackley, had Joseph,
Elizabeth James, Micajah, Margaret, Hezekiah, William, Jonathan, and Ichabod; 
but no date is found for either of them.

An uncommon anecdote of his intrepid tongue is preserv. by tradit. in

the first by his sec. w. was freem. of Plymouth Col. June 1691, m.
Mercy, d. prob. youngest, of John Branch, had Thomas, b. 1694;

ISAAC, Dartmouth, s. of the first William, had Simpson, b. 12 Jan.
1700; Edward, 27 Dec. 1701; and Mercy, 27 Apr. 1707.  JOHN,
Dartmouth, eldest s. of the first William, and his only ch. by first w. wh.
d. Apr. 1648; but he was prob. b. serv. yrs. bef. tho. the fam. geneal.
gives no precise informat. exc. that he had John, b. 2 July 1668; and
that by ano. w. (the bapt. or fam. name of either is not seen) he had
William, 11 May 1680; Jonathan, 24 Aug. 1681; Elizabeth 19 June 1683;
Eleanor, 1 Feb. 1685; Phebe, 11 May 1687; Nathan, 21 Sept. 1689;
Rebecca, 8 Oct. 1691; Deborah, 10 Aug. 1694; and Barnabas, 5 Feb.
1699.  His brs. Samuel and William are nam. with hims. and s. John
in the orig. deed to the fifty-six grantees of the town, from William
Bradford, 13 Nov. 1694.  SAMUEL, Dartmouth, s. prob. eldest by the
sec. w. of William, took o. of alleg. 1686, by w. Experience had William, 
b. 13 Feb. 1638; Mary, 4 Jan. 1690; Samuel, 4 Feb. 1692; Daniel, 
28 Feb. 1693; Seth, 31 Jan. 1694; Hannah, 27 Jan. 1696; Joseph, or Jabesh, 
as one rec. has it, 13 June 1698; Ann, 18 Apr. ano. acco. says, 19 June
1700; Experience, 19 June 1702; Beulah, 27 June 1705; and Wing,
30 Apr. of yr. not ment.  He d. 1737, or, at least, his will was pro. that
yr.  THOMAS, Salem 1637, freem. Mar. 1638, prob. had w. Ann, as her
name stands among early ch. mem. was of Wenham 1657, by sec. w.
Elizabeth had Hannah, wh. m. John Ruck, and possib. others.  He got
involv. with the Quakers 1659; and d. prob. 1664, for his inv. is found
of 19 Nov. 1664.  His wid. Elizabeth in her will, prob. 26 Mar. 1677 (see
Essex Inst. Hist. Coll. II. 236), made Excor, John Ruck, h. of her
d. Hannah S. and names his five ch. Elizabeth Sarah, Hannah, John, and
Thomas, beside other gr.ch. Elizabeth and John Osborn Jr. and perhaps ch. of
John Osborn of Boston, and some others.  WILLIAM, Plymouth 1643,
is by fam. tradit. said to have come from Colchester, Co. Essex, had in
Mar. 1637 been serv. or apprent. to John Osborn Jr. and perhaps ch. of
by the Ct. in 1645 made guardn. of the childr. of C.  By w. Elizabeth wh.
d. 28 Apr. 1648, he had only ch. John, bef. ment. aft. wh. he m. 18 Mar.
1652, Hannah Pratt, had Sarah, b. 5 Oct. 1653; Samuel, 14 Jan. 1655;
William; Isaac; Ebenezer; Martha; Hannah, and Mercy; but these six
of unkno. dates or order; was propound. in June 1653 for freem. and
adm. next June; was good public serv., surveyor of highways, gr. juror
1657, and aft. in 1660 liv. at Dartmouth, was a town offic. in 1663, and d. 1684.  WILLIAM, Dartmouth, 
s. of the preced. is nam. with others proprs. in the gr. of 
Bradford for the town 1694, and sw. alleg. two yrs. aft. by w. Hannah Pratt, d.
perhaps of Jonathan, had Benjamin, b. 31 Mar. 1690; Jabesh, 18 Feb. 1692; Joshua,
[[153]]
16 Mar. 1693; Sarah, 6 Oct. 1700; and Abigail, 6 Dec. 1702.  Five
of this name had in 1835 been gr. at Harv.
     SPOWELL, THOMAS, nam. in the will, Sept. 1656, of Thomas Buckminster, 
of Muddy riv. as the h. of his d. Elizabeth hav. two ch. I conject. to
have liv. in Boston.  WILLIAM.  See Spaule.
     SPRAGUE, ANTHONY, Hingham, eldest s. of William of the same, m.
26 Dec. 1661, Elizabeth d. of Robert Bartlett of Plymouth, had Anthony,
Benjamin, John, Elizabeth Samuel, Sarah, James, Josiah, Jeremiah, Richard,
and Matthew, as in the Sprague Geneal. rank.; but some d. young, and
his w. d. Feb. 1713.  In his will of 21 July 1716, pro. 12 Oct. 1719, in
our rec. XXI. 245 are nam. Anthony with Anthony his s. and other s.
Richard, James, Samuel, Matthew, Josiah, and Jeremiah, beside d. Sarah
Bates, w. of Caleb. He d. 3 Sept. 1719.  His house was burn. 20 Apr.
1676 by the Ind. in Philip's war.  Of this branch, of Anthony, thro.
Jeremiah, the seventh s. is the celebr. poet, Charles, descend.  EDWARD,
Malden, youngest s. of the first John m. 24 Nov. 1693, Dorothy, d. of
Job Lane of the same, had William, b. 4 Sept. 1696; Ann, 20 Mar.
1697; Dorothy, 9 Sept. 1698; and d. 13 Apr. 1715.  FRANCIS, Plymouth, 
came with w. and a d. in the Ann 1623, but the names, Ann, and
Mercy, are all that are giv. in 1627, at the div. of cattle, so that it is
infer. that he left other ch. abroad, perhaps had John, or more b. here;
and at P. was tax. 1633 and 4, but aft. was of Dusbury.  He was liv.
in 1666, as Winsor says, and he names the ch. John, Ann, Mary, and
Mercy.  This last, he tells, m. 9 Nov. 1637, William Tubbs; and one
of the others m. Robert Lawrence; but I kn. no such man, and casually
turn. (three yrs. aft. writ. this maledict) from p. 317 to 275, of Winsor,
obs. that he calls him William.  He was one of the orig. purch. of Dartmouth. 
 * JOHN, Malden, eldest s. of Ralph, b. in Eng. freem. 1653, m.
2 May 1651, Lydia, d. of Edward Goffe of Cambridge, brot. from Eng.
had John, b. 9 Mar. 1651; Lydia; Jonathan, b. Oct. 1656; Samuel,
21 Feb. 1659; and Mary, 13 Aprl 1661; Phineas, Feb. 1666; Edward; 
Deborah, 21 Sept. 1670; Sarah, Feb. 1673; and d. 16 Dec.
1703.  The wid. d. 11 Dec. 1715.  A will of his br. Richard, wh.
outliv. him, in 1703, gives to five s. of this John, wh. was rep. 1689, 90,
and 1.  JOHN, Duxbury, only s. of Francis, liv. first at Marshfield, but
d. in D.; m. 1655, Ruth, d. of William Bassett, had John; William;
Samuel; Ruth, b. 12 Feb. 1659; Elizabeth; Desire; and Dorcas; was k.
in Philip's war, 26 Mar. 1676, under Pierce, at the fierce fight of Pawtucket. 
 JOHN, Plymouth and Duxbury, in Hutch. I. 354 call. one of
the counc. to Sir Edmund Andros, was perhaps s. of William, and if this
be true, he m. 13 Dec. 1666, Elizabeth Holbrook, and Hosea S. in his
Geneal, tells no more, but that he sold in 1682 his est. at Hingham, and d.
[[154]]
at Mendon 1690.  Yet there is, in my opin. very slight reason for think,
the s. of William of Hingham to be the counsellor.  Judge Mitchell
refers to the will of the Hingham, man, of 1683, as it ment. his ch. John,
William, Ebenezer, Elizabeth, Hannah, Milicent, and Persis.  JOHN, Malden, 
eldest s. of John of the same, by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 23 July
1685; Abiah, 21 Aug. 1687; Mary, 27 Nov. 1689; was freem. 1690;
and he d. June 1692.  JONATHAN, Weymouth, s. of William of Hingham, 
by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 21 July 1670; rem. to R. I. by fam. tradit.
and may be the same, wh. at Providence had preach. in the early part of
18th centu. was town clk. in 1722, and perhaps d. at Smithfield, Jan.
1741, aged 92.  JONATHAN, Malden, s. of the first John of the same, by
w. Mary had Richard, b. 28 June 1686; John, 7 May 1689; Joseph, 24
Oct. 1691; Nathan, 2 Feb. 1694; Hannah, and Mary, tw. 25 May
1696; David, 15 Aug. 1698; and was freem. 1690.  PHINEAS, Malden,
youngest s. of Ralph, freem. 1690, m. 11 Dec. 1661, Mary Carrington,
perhaps d. of Edward, wh. brot. him no ch. and d. 7 Dec. 1667; but by
sec. w. m. 5 Jan. 1670, Sarah Hasey, perhaps d. of William had
Phineas, b. 27 Dec. foll. William, 21 Nov. 1672; Ralph, Nov. 1674;
Sarah, 23 Apr. 1686; Joanna, 17 Apr. 1688;  and Abigail, 2 Mar.
1690.  But my suspicion is strong, that the three last belong to the other
man of the same, name in that town.  He took the o. of fidel. 15 Dec.
1674, and was rep. 1689 and 90.  PHINEAS, Malden, prob. s. of the first
John, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 11 Oct. 1691; Mary, 15 Oct. 1693; Tabitha, 
19 Oct. 1696; and I find nothing more of him * RALPH,
Charlestown 1629, came prob. with w. Joan, and s. John and Richard,
that yr. in the fleet with Higginson, certain. with brs. Richard, and prob.
William.  They were s. of Edward prob. of Upway in Devonshire.
Sometimes it has been thot. that these gent. were paseng. in 1628, with
Endicott, but to me it seems more likely that, as they came, paying their
own charges, they were in the fleet of 1629.  With Endicott, in the
Abigail, beside his fam. and serv. there not, I suppose, over twenty,
includ. men, women, and ch. and most of them sent by the adventurers
in London, as the first sh. for the planta. would naturally be occup. in
transport. of persons wh. they should wholly control.  The much larger
exped. aft. gr. of the chart. 1629 had, also wider views of policy, and
in obedience to the direct. of the officers of the comp. at home the
Spragues, wh. came at their own charge, wre sent by Endicott to take
up the lands in C. but we kn. that the compiler of the Charlestown rec.
threw back his narra. of early transact, by one yr. mak. Winthrop and the
gr. body of our early sett. come in 1629.  As the Spragues came one
yrs. bef. Winthrop Mr. Green, the compiler of that MS. compliment. by
Prince and most of us as the first rec. of C. natural. gave them the
[[155]]
date 1628, and on the same premises our confidence reposes, that the true
yr. was 1629.  He had w. Joan, and the Nos. of hims. and her on our ch.
list are 102 and 3.  He had Samuel, bapt. 3 June 1632, but he may
have been b. many mos. for his was the sixth ch. nam. in our list, and
the rite had not been perform. since Nov. 1630, by reason of the abs. of
Wilson the pastor, wh. came back from Eng. the wk. bef. this bapt.  He
and his w. were of the 33, wh. had desir. dismiss. from the congr. of Boston
"to enter into a new ch. body at C." and were dismiss.  14 Oct. 1632;
and his d. Mary was bapt. 14 Sept. 1634; s. Phineas, 31 July 1637.
He had sprung, I imagine, from Dorsetsh. and own. lds. in Upway of
that Co. as by let. of 25 Mar. 1651 from his f.-in-law, John Corbin, at
that parish, appears.  On 19 Oct. 1630 he req. adm. and 18 May foll.
was sw. as freem. made constable at the Gen. Ct. Oct. 1630, serg. lieut.
and capt. in regular success, rep. May 1635, being the third time of such
an assemb. and very frequ. aft.; ar. co. 1639; but I believe that in later
days he liv. on Mistick side, or Malden, for his name is in a commiss. to
set. bounds there, and he d. Nov. 1650, and his s. Jonathan next mo.
and his name of the wid. is the sec. on the women's memo. to the Gen.
Ct. 1651 in favor Matthews; and she may have m. eleven yrs. later
Edward Converse of Woburn.  Mary, his d. m. Daniel Edmunds, oft.
writ. Edmunds, and in the will of her br. Capt. Richaard has good provis.
* RICHARD, Charlestown, came, no doubt, with the preced. wh. was
elder br. bring. w. Mary, and on the Boston list of ch. mem. stands bef.
his br. being No. 79, adm. freem. 18 May 1631, was with w. dismiss.
Oct. 1632, to form new ch. at C. in 1637 took side with Wheelwright,
and sign. the remonstr. against the proceed. of the Ct. but on express.
his regret, the signa. was eras.; was of ar. co. 1639, capt. rep. 1659 and
sev. yrs. more, prob. had no. ch. and d. 25 Nov. 1668, aged 63.  His
will of 15 Sept. preced. names w. Mary, Richard, John, Samuel, and
Phineas, s. of his br. Ralph, his br. William of Hingham, and gave to
Harv. Coll. 30 ewes with their lambs.  By the will of his wid. 12 Nov.
1671, pro. 16 June 1674, we gain a fine fam. crop.  It names kinsmen,
lieut. John, Samuel, and Phineas Sprague; kinsman Nathaniel Rand,
and his s. Nathaniel; kindsman, Lawrence Dowse and his two ds. Elizabeth
and Mary; childr. of Thomas Rand, and Lawrence Dowse; Jonathan,
s. of Daniel Edmands; br. William Sprague, and his childr. sis. Alice
Rand; kinsmen Thomas Rand, Nathaniel Rand, Lawrence Dowse,
Abraham Newell, Nathaniel Brewer, and Thomas Lord; Mary Dowse,
d. of Lawrence; made Excors. Nathaniel Rand, and lieut. John Sprague.
His inv. summed up well.  * RICHARD, Charlestown, s. of Ralph, b.
in Eng. m. 25 Feb. (but Goodwin says 1 Feb.) 1673, Eunice, d. of
Leonard Chester, wh. d. 27 May 1676; in 1674 dur. the Dutch war, he
[[156]]
command. an arm. vessel of 12 guns to cruise in Long Isl. sound, for
secur. of the coast. trade. He took sec. w. Catharine Anderson, on
whose gr. stone appears, that she d. 12 July 1701, aged 45; but prob.
had no ch. by either w. as none is heard of.  He was ar. co. 1681, capt.
rep. 1681, and aft.; and was bur. 13 Oct. 1703, hav. d. 7, two days
bef. wh. he made his will of unusual and judicious liberality to relatives, 
to clerg. to ch. and L400 to Harv. Coll.  See Budington, 192, wh.
in his valua. work had miscal. him s. of Richard, 33, but correct. the
error on last page.  SAMUEL, Malden, s. of Ralph, m. in Bostron, 12
Aug. 1655, Recuba Crawford, says our rec. perhaps mistak. the name
(for the Malden rec. gives her name Rebecca), had Rebecca, wh. d. 15
Aug. 1658; Samuel, 4 May 1660; Samuel, again, May 1662; Rebecca,
again, Sept. 1666; and perhaps sev. more, for by the will of Capt.
Richard his elder br. 1703, est. was giv. to two s. of this Samuel, wh. d.
3 Oct. 1696.  He was lieut. and town clk. freem. 22 Mar. 1690, when
his s. Samuel, and three other Malden Spragues took the o.  His wid.
Rebecca m. Capt. John Brown, and d. 8 July 1710. in her 77th yr.
* SAMUEL, Marshfield, s. of William the first, m. a. 1666, Sarah, d. of
Thomas Chillingworth, had Samuel, b. 1674; John; Nathan; James;

prob. first at Stratford, next Woodbury, and d. 9 Apr. 1712, leav. many

Cottren tells.  WILLIAM, Stamford, sold out this est. 1666, perhaps was

     STRACKHOUSE, RICHARD, Salem 1638, had, as I judge, w. Susanna,

of that yr.; Ruth, 8 July 1649; Samuel, 13 Feb. 1653; and Mary, 25

4 Jan. 1681; John, 30 Oct. 1682, d. in few days; and his w. d.
June 1684, when perhaps he rem. to Ipswich. HUGH, Plymouth 1621,
came in  the Fortune, rem. to Dedham, where his w. and d. Hannah
were adm. of the ch. 1640, and the d. soon aft. d. as I infer from the
town rec. of Hannah, b. 17 Feb. 1641; rem. soon aft. and was of Lynn
or Salem, where he had gr. of ld. in 1640, says Felt, was made freem.
28 Feb. 1643, and Farmer says, his w. was adm. of Salem ch. 1659.
Possib. it was ano. of the same bapt. name; and he may have gone
home. for one Hugh Stacey was of the Congr. ch. with Rev. John
Philip, wh. went from our country, and organiz. that dissent. form at
Wrentham, in Co. Suffk. 1650.  JOHN, Lynn or Marblehead 1641,
prob. br. of the first Henry, had John, bapt. at Salem 9 Oct. 1642;
Deborah, 22 Oct. 1643; and John, 29 Mar. 1646.  He d. a. 1672, and
admin. on his est. was giv. to his wid. Elinor, wh. brot. inv. to Ct. 27
June.  JOHN, Salem 1692, prob. s. of the preced. kept the Ship tavern
1692.  MARK, of Exeter, perhaps, in 1689, I kn. not any more of.
RICHARD, Taunton 1643, d. 1687, and 7 Dec. of that yr. Thomas Lincoln 
Jr. had adm. of his est.  SAMUEL, Salem 1678. * SIMON, Ipswich
1641, freem. 1668, a capt. rep. 1685, 6, 9, and 90, d. 27 Oct. 1699,
THOMAS, Ipswich 1648, had William; Thomas; John, b. 1658, d.
young; Joseph, 1661; Simon, 1664,; John, again, 1666; beside Elizabeth
Mary,and Susanna.  This is found by Bary; but ano. THOMAS, wh.
m. 4 Oct. 1653, Susanna Worcester, wh. must have been eldest ch.
of Rev. William, and had Thomas, b. 6 July 1654; William 21 Apr.
1656; Rebecca, 7 Dec. 1657; Elizabeth 10 Apr. 1659; Joseph, 27 June
1660; and Mary, 7 Nov. 1661, Coffin tells of, in his Extr. from old
Norfolk rec.  Of his est. sett. in 1692, he says w. Susanna, and ch.
[[160]]
were partak. William, John, Elizabeth w. of John Woodwell, and Susanna,
w. of John Marston Jr. wh. was perhaps the miller of Salem in 1679.
WILLIAM, Salem 1678, freem. 1680. He was s. of Thomas, and m.
28 Nov. 1677, Priscilla Buckley, had Priscilla, b. 10 Oct. foll. and d.
next yr.; William, 21 July 1680, d. young; Thomas, 28 Mar. 1682;
Sarah, 17 Jan. 1684; William, again, 25 Dec. 1686; Priscilla, again,
3 Aug. 1689, prob. d. soon; for next is Priscilla, 1 May 1690; and
Simon, 1 Mar. 1695. 
     STAFFORD, JOSEPH, Warwick, s. prob. youngest, of Thomas, m.
Sarah, fourth d. of Randall Houlden, had three s. and four ds. certain.
for the wills of hims. and of his w. give the names of Stukely, Joseph,
and John, beside ds. Francis Congdon, Elizabeth Case, Margaret Place,
and Sarah Smith.  * SAMUEL, Warwick, s. of Thomas of the same,
m. Mercy, d. of Stukely Westcott; had, as in Friend's rec. at Newport
is seen, Stukely, b. 7 Nov. 1661; Amos, 8 Nov. 1665; Mercy, 8 July
1668; Sarah, 18 Apr. 1671; and Samuel, 19 Nov. 1673; but other ch.
he had, as nam. in his will, where the first, third, and fifth of that rec.
are not seen, leav. us the right of conject. that those were d. bef. him.
Substitutes for them appear in Thomas, the youngest, Patience, w. of
Howland, Freelove, w. of Tillinghast, and Elizabeth w. of Devotion. Amos
is call. the eldest s. and Sarah, eldest d. nam. Scranton.  Gr. ch. too, are
found, Mercy Thurbar, and Mary Stafford, claim. the testator's regard.
He was oft. rep. in 1674 and chos. an Assist. and d. 20 Mar. 1718, aged
82.  THOAMS, Newport of Portsmouth 1638, said to have been b. 1605,
and to have come to Plymouth 1626, and to have built there the first
mill for grind. corn by water, but this seems very loose rep. and the Col.
rec. that refer to the first mill aft. June 1635, do not ment. him.  He
is found at Warwick 1652, among the freem. there 1655, rem. I presume
to Conn. whose Gen. Ct. gr. him, 1674, fifty acres; but he had been at
New London as early as 1662, and was at W. to end his days 1677.
He made his will 4 Nov. 1677,and d. soon aft. had Sarah, wh. m. 13
July 1667, and Deborah, wh. m. 9 June 1670, both to Amos Westcott;
Samuel; and Joseph.  His will names w. Elizabeth eldest s. Thomas, and d.
Hannah, w. of Luke Bromley, beside the others.  Claim was assert. by
him to be "of the blood of the Stafford," but of wh. Stafford is less clear,
and prob. unimport. tho. he perhaps had a coat of arms.  THOMAS,
Warwick, s. of the preced. m. 28 Dec. 1671, Jane Dodge, ahd Thomas,
and William, but no dates are told, either of their or his own b. nor can
the f. of w. be trac.
     STAGPOLE, JAMES, Dover, had a gr. as Mr. Quint tells, 1694, but he
says that he was b. 1653, meaning, I suppose, in Eng.  Possib. this
name has become Stackpole.
     STAINES, RICHARD, Boston 1654, sailmaker, had w. Joice, and ch.
Sarah, b. 16 Nov. 1655; Thomas, 16 Aug. 1658; Richard, 3 Dec.
1660; Rebecca, 26 Dec. 1662; and Ann, 29 Jan. 1664; for wh. in his
will of 24 Oct. 1672, pro. 1 Nov. foll. he made provis.  The wid. m.
John Hall.  Richard was a soldier in Philip's war, at Hatfield 1675.

     STAINWOOD, or STAINEWOOD.  See Stanwood.
     STAIRES, THOMAS, Windsor, nam. in the will of Rev. Ephraim Hult,
Oct. 1644, is prob. the name man call, serj. S. in the Conn. Rec. 1638.
     STAILLION, EDWARD, New London 1650, had, by w. Margaret, Deborah, 
wh. m. James Avery Jr.; Sarah, m. 9 Feb. 1674, John Edgecombe; 
and Margaret, m. 30 Nov. 1678, Pasco Foote; and by sec. w.
Elizabeth d. of George Miller, m. 1685, had two. ch. of wh. one prob. was
Edward; and in 1693 m. third w. Christian, wid. of William Chapell,
wh. surv. him.  This name has singular mutations.  It first appears as
Stanley, changes to Stallon, Stolion, or Stallion, and subsides, as Caulkins 
shows, into Sterling.
     STAMFORD, THOMAS, at Scarborough, or Saco, sw. fidel. to Mass.
1658.
     STANBURY, STANBERRY, or STANBOROUGH, JOSIAH, Lynn 1639,
rem. to Southampton, L. I. had prob. s. Josiah, and d. there 1659.  See
Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 348.  JOSIAH, Southampton, L. I. went to New
Haven, m,. 1657, Alse, wid. of Thomas Wheeler, Jr. of N. H. and ret. to
L. I.  THOMAS, Boston, by w. Martha ahd Thomas, b. 15 Oct. 1642,
wh. as his mo. join. our ch. 29 Nov. 1645, was bapt. the day foll. being
Sunday, with John, 2 yr. and 11 wks. old; but the careless town rec.
says b. 15 Sept. 1645.  He had, also, Nathan, b. 25 Dec. 1646; and
Martha, bapt. 11 Mar. 1649; and d. 27 Sept. 1652.  His wid. was bur.
28 Sept. 1685, says Sewall in his Diary. Yet this is giv. by my conject. 
only, for there was WILLIAM of Boston, wh. had Sarah bapt. in
right of his w. 1 June 1651, if the rec. be trust., wh. is not in my opin.
clear.
     STANCLIFFE, JAMES, Middletown, had, says Mr. Parsons, betw. 1686
and 1712, William, Martha, James, Sarah, William, again, and James,
again; but no date to either is seen.  He d. 3 Oct. 1712, and his wid. of
whose bapt. or fam. name knowl. is not gain. d. 30 Dec. foll.  JAMES,
Middletown, s. of the preced. m. 8 Apr. 1714, Abigail Bevans, prob. d.

Benoni,wh. d 5 Mar. 1727.  WILLIAM, Middletown, br. of the preced.
m. 30 Mar. 1710, Olive, wid. of Jonas Wright, had James, b. 30 Sept.
1712.  His w. d. 7 Nov. 1719, and he m. 5 Oct. 1721, Esther Adams
of Hartford, had William, 1722; Samuel, 1724; Oliver, 1726; Esther,
1727; Jerusha, 1730; Solomon, 1732; Josiah, 1734; Olive., 1737; and
Joseph, 1789, as in Geneal. Reg. XIV. 133.
     STANDISH, * ALEXANDER, Duxbury, eldest s. of Capt. Miles, m.
Sarah, d. of John Alden, had Miles, Ebenezer, b. 1672; Lora; Lydia;
Mercy; Sarah; Elizabeth and perhaps David.  By sec. w. Desire, d. of
Edward Doty, wh. had been wid. of Israel Holmes, and first of William
[[162]]
Sherman, he had Thomas, in 1687; Desire, 1689; and Ichabod.  JAMES,
Salem 1638, freem. 13 May 1640, when the name is writ. Standige, prob. 
had w. Sarah, and was one of the pentnrs. 1640 for grant at Jeffery's creek, 
now Manchester, but of Lynn 1642, and d. Nov. 1679.  * JOSIAH, Duxbury,
br. of Alexander, m. 19 Dec. 1654, Mary Dingley, d. perhaps of John,
wh. was bur. 1 July 1665, as was her br. John eight days aft.; had sev.
ch. by her and also by sec. w. Sarah, d. of Samuel Allen of Braintree,
Miles, Josiah, Samuel, Israel, Mary, Lois, Mehitable, Martha, and
Mercy, tho. we can never assign the respect. ch. to ea. w. was lieut. rep.
1665 and sixteen yrs. more.  He rem. a. 1686 to Preston, where he d.
1690.  His wid. Sarah and s. Miles had admin. of his est.  His d.
Mercy m. 30 Sept. 1726, Ralph Wheelock, as his sec. w. and was not
mo. of Rev. Eleazer, the first Presid. of Dartmouth Coll. ( as oft. said
in books) insasmuch as he was b. more than fifteen yrs. bef. that m. and
his mo. was Ruth, d. of the sec. Christopher Huntington.  Equal.
unsound is the derivat. of that more disting. Presid. Kirkland of
Harv. Univ. from the same Mercy (as told in many places), gr. mo.
gr.mo. was Sarah, d. of Ruth, first w. of the said Ralph, not of the sec.
w. Mercy Standish.  See full illustrat. by Weaver, in Geneal, Reg. XIV.
376.  MILES, or MYLES, Duxbury, the celebr. capt. of the pilgr. of the
Mayflower, was b. in Lancashire, being a cadet, it was said, of the old
house of Standish, long estab. with good landed posses. at Dusbury, a
town of the parish of Standish in the Co. close to Wigan, 9 ms. from
Bolton, and a. 20 ms. N. E. of Liverpool.  He had been at Leyden
some yrs. bef. the emb. 1620, but we are ign. whether he had ch. at that
time, tho. certain that he brot. nobody, beside w. Rose, wh. d. 29 Jan.
one mo.aft. the land.  His next w. Barbara, came in the Ann 1623, and
was prob. the mo. of some that were d. and of all his ch. as nam. in his
will of 7 Mar. 1656, Alexander, Miles, Josiah, and Charles, beside d.
Lora.  Of these last two, we kn. nothing, and if indulg. in conject. we
might assume only, that both were old eno. to have been notic. in the
ensuing days.  He was constant. engag. in public serv. and for 19 yrs.
was an assit. and had a mission ot London in 1625, where he could
effect little on acco. of the raging of the plague, and early in the spring
foll. he came back.  Of his character, wh. partook, in no small degree,
of the ancient heroic, Belknap in Americ. Biog. furnishes excellent
illustr. and just anaysis.  He d. 3 Oct. 1656.  A copy of his will and inv.
may be seen in Geneal. Reg. V. 335-8.  MILES, Boston, s. of the
preced. m. 19 July 1660, Sarah, d. of John Winslow, had no ch. and d.
on a voyage to London, the sh. never heard of.  His wid. m. 1665,
Tobias Paine, and last Richard Middlecot, wh. she surv. THOMAS,
Wethersfield, a soldier in the Pequot war 1637, had gr. of ld. on that

in whose will of 1683 he is nam. "tho. undutiful," for we can hardly

adm. an inhab. early in 1639, on the freem's list 1655, by w. Avis had
John b. Aug. 1645. He was perhaps br. of the elder Thomas, yet we
must not be too confident, for Farmer ment. a ROBERT of Dorchester

but he weas of town's poor 1689.  ROBERT, s. of the first Thomas his

26 Jan. 1678; Joseph, 12 Mar. 1680; Hannah, 17 May 1682; and

Mary Coles, had Mary, b. 24 Sept. 1655; Rachel, 31 Oct. 1657; and
Sarah, 10 July 1660.  THOMAS, Fairfield 1645, is on freem.'s list 1669.
He had by w. Mary, Thomas; Mary, wh. m. Josiah Harvey; ano. d.
m. John Beach; Mehitable; and John; but the order of success. is not
kn.  He d. bef. 1688; was a man of import. and spirit eno. to prosecute
Dept. Gov. Ludlow, not long bef. his rem. to Virg. for defam. in report.
that the ws. of S. was a wtich.  The trial for satisfact. of both parties
was in the neighb. Col. of New Haven, where the Court wisely held,
"that there was no proof that goodw. S. was a witch," mulct. L. to
pay L10 to the h. for repar. of his w's name, and L5 for his trouble
and cost.  Happily in a later day the New Haven Col. pass. unharm.
by the doleful delus. spread in Mass. by rampant vanity and insane
apprehension.  Four of this name had, in 1834, been gr. at Yale, and
three at some other N. E. Coll. says Farmer.
     STAPLETON, SAMUEL, Newport, came from London, hav. m. Mary
White of Newport Pagnel, Co. Bucks, and here had Mary, b. 7 Feb.

Eng. where he was b. a. 1624, educ. at Harv. Coll. where he took his
A. B. 1647, in the Catal. call.  Consolantius, is one of the five fellows
nam. in the Chart. of H. C. in 1650, and soon went home, and was benefic. at
Carlisle, Co. Cumberland, and from that liv. eject. by the
Act of Uniform. 1662, retn. to a preach. station at Lewes, Co. Sussex,
where he d. says Calamy, 1711.  COMFORD, Middletown, s. of Thomas
of Charlestown, m. Rahcel Harris, had Comfort, b. 1670; Mary, 1672;
Hannah, 24 Mar. 1674; Joseph, 1676; Benjamin, 1679; Rachel,
1681; Thomas, 1684; and Daniel, 1689; Hinman, 239, mak. his wid.
Mary, when he d. 18 Oct. 1693. But I judge, that he was first of Boston, 
here by w. Mary, prob. d. of Joseph Weld, as more exactly our
rec. show, bef. his rem. had Comfort, b. 15 Nov. 1666; Joseph, 7 Mar.
1668, perhaps d. soon; Mary, 14 Mar. 1669, d. soon; and Mary, again,
18 Jan. 1672.  Of course this Comfort of Boston might be thot. a
differ. man from him of M.; yet he could hardly be that comfort, the
gr. of Harv.  But he may, in spite of Hinman, well be the Middletown
man.  COMFORT, Dedham, prob. s. of John of Bosotn, m. Mary, d. of
the sec. Simon Stone of Watertown, had a ch. bapt. 20 Feb. 1687;
Lydia, 7 June 1688; and Hannah, 6 July 1690; all at Watertown, as
Bond, in Hist. 585, correct. on p. 951, exhibits.  ELEAZER, Boston
1664, cooper, s. of the sec. John, by w. Martha had Abigail, b. 26 Nov.
1681; Joseph, 26 Aug. 1687; and Benjamin, 7 Mar. 1692.  Of the
earlier w. and a d. that Winsor names, I find no trace.  JOHN, Boston,
s. of the first Comfort, prob. b. in Eng. had, says Winsor, been at Duxbury 
1643, and Bridgewater 1645, by w. Martha had Comfort, b. 4 Feb.
1662; John, 7 Dec. 1664; Comfort, again, 15 Nov. 1666; and Benjamin,

Richard, and Susanna; and his w. d. 17 May 1665;  was a sea capt. m. 30 
Dec. 1669, Mary Conklin, had Mary, b. 9 Oct. 1670; Sarah and Hannah,
tw. 22 June 1673; and ano. ch.; was k. by the Ind. in Philip's war, may
have been s. of William of Lynn, and his inv. was prob. at Essex prob. Ct. 
on 24 June 1679.  His s. Robert d. in two yrs.  SAMUEL, New London 
1663, m. 23 Dec. 1664, Hannah, d. of Jonathan Brewster, had Samuel, 
b. 11 Dec. 1665; Thomas, 27 Sept. 1668;
[[171]]
Comfort, bapt. Aug. 1671; Jonathan, 1674; and Benjamin, 1679.
Miss Caulkins, with good reason, thinks him eldest s. of Thomas, and
that he d. early in 1688, for his wid. execut. a deed 2 Feb. of that yr.
He prob. is that kinsman, to wh. his gr.f. gave the "Book of Martyrs."
His s. Thomas, Jonathan, and Benjamin contin. the name at N. L. and
Norwich.  The progeny of Jonathan have been not. for longev.
THOMAS, Boston, younger br. of the first Comfort, a surgeon, had 
come prob. soon aft. 1636, from Canterbury, Co. Kent, and brot.

1637, and d. perhaps 1640, for in Mar. 1641, his w. Susan had gr. of

b. in Eng. had serv. in the Pequot war, and rem. early from D.
and liv. at Scituate, where his s. Comfort was b. in 1644, and Elizabeth in
1646; but rem. again to Yarmouth, where he had former. been, for he
was there fin. with others, as a scoffer at religion [Felt, Eccles, Hist. I.
496], and there had Benjamin, 6 Feb. 1648; and Jehosaphat, 12 Jan.
1650.  By his profess. it was diffic. to live in so sm. towns, and he
rem. to Charlestown, there was clk. of the writs 1654, in wh. yr. his d.
Constant d. and William was b. wh. d. 13 Dec. 1657; Josiah had been
1 Sept. bef. that, by w. Rachel, as the rec. of C. tells; and he was a
householder, with small income, 1658, and d. in this yr. 26 Oct. leav.
w. Rachel.  Neither he nor his w. was mem of the ch.  Winsor says
right. that he d. bef. his f. while Thacher, whose Med. Biog. had many
similar erros, extends his life to 1670. Gr. of 400 acres to his desolate

     STARKEY, GEORGE, H. C. 1646, may have been of Lynn, or Malden,
but very little ground in favor of either is discernab.  Nor is any
knowl. likely to be got, other than of his d. in London, Sept. 1665,
where he had bestow. his serv. dur. the terrible plague, hav. made hims.
acquaint. with medicine, as is relat. in the letters of Allin, the reverend
grad. of 1643.  For the credit of the new-born Harv. Coll. at Cambridge 
in N. E. the metropolis of their native ld. in its most dismal visitat.
was indebt. to a grad. of its sec. yr. and to ano. of its fifth yr. of bestow.
such honors, when the time-honor. university, so many thousand miles
nearer, perhaps, gave far less contrib. of educ. skill to her relief.

 ISAAC, Watertown 1630, came prob. with Sir Richard Saltonstall
in the fleet, was adm. freem. 18 May of next yr. tho. he may have been
drawn thither as much by regard for Winthrop, since he was not a dist.
neighb. of the Gov. in their native ld.  He was of Neyland, Co. suffk.
where his two eldest ch. were bapt.; Mary, 6 Jan 1627; and Ann, 5
Oct. 1628.  Here by w. Mary (tho. Dr. Cogswell in Geneal. Reg. I. 43,

Jan. 1633; Sarah, 22 Sept. 1635; tho. this by Pulsifer in Geneal, Reg.

perhaps she obt. divorce only by her d. 26 Jan. 1697.  He came back to

Under date of 3 Nov. 1685, in his Diary, Sewall notes, that one S. of
Watertown was fin. with James Bigelow, "for insult. Lt. Gov. Stoughton
and Dudley."  No doubt this was a political offence.  But in Dr. Dond's
Geneal, Reg. of W. tho. he notes this suffering of Bigelow, the name of
Stebbins for many yrs. bef. had dispp.  Of this name, in 1816, there

Apr. 1687, his w. join. the ch. 25 Sept. fol. and the rec. says the bapt.

Feb. 1658; Samuel, 27 Feb. 1660; and Elizabeth 9 Nov. 1665.  He was
few yrs. at Wethersfield, made freem. 1654, yet I find not his name in
the list of 1669, was a lieut. and in the early part of Philip's war com.

of Robert Isbell, had John, b. 25 Dec. 1669; and Ann; and d. 1701.
His wid. m. John Fox; and Ann m. Benjamin Lester.  In our Reg. of
Suffk. is a deed to him, of 23 Nov. 1671, from Wampas, an Ind. seaman 
of Boston, of 110 acres lying betw. Marlborough and Mendon; but
I think the considerat. does not appear.  Five of this name at Harv. and
two at Yale had bene gr. in 1801.

the disput. claims betw. N. Y. and Conn. came back to G. 1692-97.

but the fam. geneal. is very obscure. HENRY, Cambridge, nam. in
Holmes's Hist. as of that town 1632, 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. p. 10;
but as the name never appears again, I think he d. soon, or perhaps went 
home.  JAMES, Hartford 1657, s. of George, but prob. b. in Eng. m. late 
in life, perhaps as sec. w. Bethia, d. of John Hopkins, wid. of Samuel Stocking;

of 30 Jan. 1664 names w. Mary, or Mercy, s. Samuel, two s.-in-law, William
