What Savage Had To Say...
About the Early Settlers of Woburn
This database was painstakingly created and edited for your genealogical use. Savage abbreviated quite a bit, but most of it is understandable. Also, some of his research is out of date with new discoveries since he wrote these volumes, but most of it is still in date and can tell you more about the families of Woburn.
(Any mention of the word, "Woburn"
is listed in "red") I would
advise using the "Edit" command and then "Find", then type
in the surname that you are looking for!

Bachiler, Bachelor, Bacheller,
Bachelder, Batchelor,
or Batchelder, Alexander, Portsmouth 1652, of wh. I
kn. no more, but that he was the ferryman. DAVID, Reading, s. of John the first,
of the same, is no otherwise kn. to me. HENRY, Ipswich, a brewer, from Dover, Co.
Kent, came in 1636, with w. Martha, and four serv. as set forth in 3 Mass. Hist.
Coll. VIII. 276, bec. the founder of a num. line, as was thot. in former days
from so many spring. at Ipswich; prob. ch. of two brs. of Henry; but any kn. of his childr. is not gain. and we kn. only that he d. 2 Feb. 1679, and his wid. d.
4 Apr. 1686. Yet inv. of his est. was not ret. bef. many yrs. Its date is 15 May
1696. Of his br. John are nam. three ch. John, Josiah, and Hannah; and of his
br. Joshua are nam. three, John, Eliz. and Hannah Warner, w. I presume of John
Warner, unless her d. Hannah be meant, if these names are found in order of
distrib. of the est. as is most prob. HENRY, Reading, prob. s. of Rev. Stephen,
may be he, wh. was persecut. 1660,as a Quaker. JOHN, Dedham, had been of
Watertown, freem. 6 May 1635, not, as Bond states, 13 May 1640, that being the
day of ano. hav. the same name, was selectman of W. 1636, and at D. had Samuel,
b. 8 (Bond says 11) Jan. 1640; Jonathan, and David, b. 14, bapt. 24 Dec. 1643,
doscrib. in the homely phrase of ch. rec. “being the childr. of one burthen to
our br. J. B. and bis w. our sis.” when it would have been agreeable to see
her name. He rem. Mr. [p.88] Haven, 13, says, to Hampton. JOHN, Salem 1638,
perhaps earlier, had gr. of ld. 1639, was the freem. of 13 May 1640, is by
tradit. said to be from Dorsetsh. but more prob. was that tailor from
Canterbury, Co. Kent, wh. came in 1636, perhaps br. of Henry, bef. ment. by w.
Mary had at S. John, bapt. Jan. 1639, d. at 7 yrs.; Mary, Sept. 1640; Abigail,
12 Feb. 1643; Hannah, 23 June 1644, d. soon; Hannah, again, 25 May 1645; John,
again, 23 June 1650; and Joseph, 8 May 1653; and d. 13 Nov. 1675, his w. Eliz.
hav. d. three days bef. unless some confus. of name exit in the report. JOHN,
Reading, freem. 1666, had Jonathan, wh. d. 4 Dec. 1653; David; and John, but the
order of b. is not seen, beside Samuel, wh. d. 25 Mar. 1662, the mo. Rebecca hav.
d. sixteen days bef. and he d. May 1676. Of ano. JOHN, freem. 1670, it is not
kn. where he liv. but it may well seem, that he was s. of the preced. bec. he d.
at Reading, 1705. JOHN, Salem, prob. s. of the first John, m. 14 Aug. 1673, Mary
Herrick, perhaps d. of Zechary, had John b. 26 Apr. 1675; and Jonathan, 29 Mar.
1678; was one of the jurors in the sad witchcraft trials, and recant.
magnanimous. from their damnable verdicts. John P. late Presid. of the Berksh.
Med. Inst. and other descend. of this stock give uniform. spell. of their name
Batchelder. *JOSEPH, Salem, a tailor, perhaps elder br. of John the first, came,
1636, from Canterbury, Co. Kent, with w. Eliz. one ch. and three serv. acc. the
certif. of the Mayor of Sandwich, where they emb. was freem. Mar. 1638; rem. to
Wenham, of wh. he was rep. 1644. What was the name of the ch. he brot. or
whether he had more on our side of the water, or when he d. are unkn. JOSHUA,
Ipswich, br. of Henry, of the same, came from Kent, but no more can be heard of
him, exc. that he had at least three ch. John, Eliz. and Hannah Warner, w. of
Daniel of the same, entit. to sh. in the est. of his br. Henry. MARK, Wenham,
freem. 1663, may have been s. of the prcced. or not, was a soldier in the comp.
of Gardner, and in the great battle of 19 Dec. 1675 was k. with his capt.
NATHANIEL, Hampton, eldest s. of the Rev. Stephen, b. a. 1611, m. 1656 Deborah,
d. of John Smith, and had, it is said, seventeen childr. (only nine by her),
many of whose names it might be not easy to find, but one was Nathaniel. At Woburn he took sec. w. 31 Oct. 1676, Mary Wyman, wid. of John, and
d. of Rev. Thomas Carter, had eight ch. and from Coffin's gatherings in Geneal.
Reg. VI. 207 we learn that he had third w. Eliz. STEPHEN, Lynn, the first
min. there, b. a. 1561, came to Boston in the William and Francis, 5 June 1632,
from London, preach. at L. next yr. was freem. 6 May 1635, and next yr. was at
Ipswich, perhaps at Yarmouth 1637, but in 1638 went to Newbury, in 1639 to
Hampton, whence in 1641 he was dism. and some time after may be heard of at
Saco. Willis, I. 37. Finally in 1653 or 4 he went home, leav. third w. Mary
here, wh. pray. for div. in 1656, bec. he was [p.89] gone to Eng. and had tak.
new w. Her suit may hardly have prosper. for, in his Hist. of Lynn, Lewis copies
from York rec. sentence against her, in 1651, for adultery, and that she and her
paramour were whip. for it. Prob. he had good reason for leav. her, and in few
yrs. after, he d. 1660, at Hackney, near London. Some acco. tho. imperf. we have
of four s. and three ds. One had m. in Eng. John Sanborn, wh. was d. bef. the
fam. cross. the ocean; ano. call. Theodata, had, in Eng. prob. m. Christopher
Hussey, after of Lynn, rem. to Hampton, and she d. 1649; and Deborah m. John
Wing of L. wh. rem. to Sandwich. Names of s. were Henry, Nathaniel, bef. ment.
Francis, and Stephen, wh. both were of London, and the last is said to have been
liv. 1685, but the dates of b. are all unkn. Descend. are very num. ce Winth. I.

Seaborn, bapt. 11 Jan. 1635, prob. d. young; Abigail, 2 July 1637; and by w.
Rachel had Joseph, b. 20 Aug. 1644; and he d. says the gr. st. 20 Feb. 1670,
aged a. 72. His will made nine days bef. gives us knowl. of other ch. beside
Joseph and Abigail, wh. are nam. in it. She had m. 11 Nov. 1659, Richard Austin.
The w. Rachel was made Ex'trix, and provis. in the will follows for her d. of
the same name, w. of Philip Atwood, as I judge; for Susanna, his gr. ch.. d. of
Susanna his d. wh. had m. 2 Nov. 1664, John Lawrence, and was d. and for sev.
other gr. ch.. named Cromwell, of whose f. or mo. I have inq. assidu. but in vain.
Correct spell. of various fam. with name of so nearly sim. sound, must be
unattain. and after trying differ. heads, I felt compel. to use only one. Under
its many shapes, in 1829, Farmer found eleven had been gr. at N. E. coll.

Daniel the first, for all the knowl. of wh. we are indebt. to Hammond's Diary,

Plymouth Col. 1667. Mercy, m. 18 July 1683, John Otis, third of that name.
NATHANIEL, Middletown 1653, is call. s. of William of the parish of Stretton,
Co. Rutland, by w. Ann, d. of Thomas Miller of the same, had Nathaniel, wh. d. 8

1680, and he m. 17 Apr. 1682, Eliz. Pierpont, prob. wid. of one whose name is
not seen, had Beriah, 17 Aug. of the same yr. unless we suppose an error in the
rec. of m. or of b. He was neph. of Andrew, had part of his uncle's est. and d.
27 Jan. 1706, hav. made his will 1698, pro. twelve days after his d. in wh. are
nam. s. Thomas, John, Andrew, Nathaniel, and Beriah, with ds. Hannah, Mary,
Abigail, and Lydia. Evidence, giv. in 1661, by deac. John Fletcher of Milford
[p.92] (wh. d. the foll. yr.) relative to the ancestry of this Nathaniel, at wh.
was present a party advers. interest. might, without violence, be constr. to
refer equally to the Barnstable fam. tho. it is less prob. NATHANIEL,
Barnstable, s. of the first Nathaniel, m. 27 Mar. 1673, Sarah, d. of Gov.
Hinckley, had Nathaniel, b. 9 Sept. 1674; Mary, 9 Oct. 1677; Eliz. 11 Apr. 1680;
and Samuel, 20 Jan. 1682. His w. d. 16 Feb. 1687; and he d. Dec. 1691. RICHARD,
may be that passeng. in 1635 on board the James from Bristol, call. Becon by
Richard Mather, when he relates the loss of his right hand in the gr. Aug.
storm, for wh. see Young's Chron. of Mass. 475. Certain. no more is kn. of him.
SAMUEL, Barnstable, m. 9 May 1659, Martha Foxwell, had Samuel, b. 9 Mar. 1660;
and Martha, 6 Jan. 1662. SAMUEL, Barnstable, s. of Nathaniel the first, m. 17
Dec. 1675, Mary, d. of John Jacob of Hingham, whither he rem. had Hannah, b. 12
Oct. 1676, d. at 2 mos.; Hannah, again, 10 Feb. 1678; and Mary, 7 Feb. 1680; and
he d. 18 Feb. 1681. THOMAS, Roxbury 1665, had Joseph, b. 1 Jan. 1666; and
George, 12 Sept. 1671, wh. d. at 2 yrs. and the f. d. 25 Oct. 1701. WILLIAM,
Salem 1640, had Isaac, bapt. 12 Sept. 1641; and d. 1653, leav. wid. Rebecca, d.
it is said, of Thomas Potter of Coventry, wh. had been mayor of that borough.
They had liv. in Dublin, and, on the outbreak of the Irish rebellion, she was
sent over here, says tradit. and her h. foll. soon; but her br. Humphrey P. and
other relat. perish. in the massacre. Some community of origin may be, perhaps,
traced to this tradit. and to that of Michael; yet the flight from the rebellion
would seem more natural in that early day to be direct. to Eng. Felt says,
William was freem. after 1643; but the evidence is not seen. In 1834 Farmer
found the gr. of this name to be seven at Yale, four at Harv. and four at other
N. E. coll. the earliest of wh. Jacob, H. C. 1731, min. of Plymouth, was gr.gr.s.
of the first Michael.

Dorchester, kn. to us solely by the gr.stone, wh. tells, that he d. 30 Mar.
1721, aged 69; but we may guess, that he was f. of that James, whose gr.stone
says, that he “d. 24 Aug. 1734, aged 60 yrs. 20 days.” JEFFREY, Windsor, m.
25 Nov. 1642, Joan, d. of William Rockwell, had Samuel, b. 30 Mar. 1644;
Hepzibah, 10 May 1646; Mary, 15 July 1649; Abiel, a d. 23 Dec. 1652, d. young;

JOHN, Ipswich, 1634, freem. 14 May of that yr. perhaps, is in later yrs. ment.
in the town rec. with prefix of respect; yet so frequent is the concur. of this
name of bapt. with the surname, as to justify doubt, whether that day's freem.
were not JOHN, ment. by Frothingham, 80, as com. to Charlestown 1630, and rem.
1637, or that JOHN, of wh. Winth. II. 29, tells, how he rem. from Boston to
Newbury, grew rich too fast, went thence to York, and back with contrition to B.
Assignm. of resid. becomes especial. diffic. in such cases, as in the freem. of
2 June 1641, where twice John Baker is count. and after minute comparis. of the
incid. belong to the names above and below each John, a confid. conject. may be
offer. that one was of Ipswich, perhaps he wh. was b. at Norwich, Co. Norf. a
grocer, that came 1637, aged 39, to Boston, in the Rose of Yarmouth, with Eliz.
his w. 31, three ch. Eliz. John, and Thomas, four serv. Merey, and Ann Alexarson,
aged 24, and 20, respectiv. Bridget Bull, 32; and Samuel Ayres or Acres, 14, as
certif. copy of rec. from her Majesty's Remembrancer Office instr. me. For the
other, Charlestown is entitl. unless better claim. appear, for he had, by w.
Rebecca, there bapt. Sarah 13 Sept. 1640, may be the *JOHN, wh. rem. 1642 to
Dover, and was rep. 1650. JOHN, Boston, that early mem. of the ch. wh. by w.
Charity had Charity, bapt. 12 Apr. 1635, may be the freem. of 18 May 1642. JOHN
of Wells, wh. may be the man, that had ho. in 1675 on w. side of Kennebeck riv.
near Arowsick isl. when the war broke out, was, we kn. sw. freem. 1653; but
tolerab. sure am I, that JOHN of Woburn was not,

other ch. JOHN, Dorchester, freem. 1677. JOHN, New London 1678, perhaps s. of
William. JOHN, Dedham, s. of Edward, was liv. there 1678, may have been f. of

JOHN, Woburn, perhaps s. of John of the same, m.
18 Oct. 1682, Hannah, d. of George Polley, had Hannah, b. 5 Dec. 1683, d. soon;
Hannah, again, 3 Aug. 1685; and John, 27 June 1687, perhaps more. JOSEPH,
Northampton, s. of Edward, m. 5 Feb. 1663, Ruth, d. of William Holton, was k. by

m. Richard Atwell. LANCELOT, Boston, by w. Judith had Eliz. b. 13 Dec. 1644; rem.
to New Have, and had John, 1651. MARK, Hampton 1678. NATHANIEL, Hingham 1635, by
w. (wh. is ment. but not nam. in the will of her f. William Lane of Dorchester),
had Mary, wh. m. 16 Dec. 1657, John Loring, perhaps his only ch. and d. 3 June
1682. In his will of 11 May preced. after provis. for his wid. and two Ind.
slaves, he gave most of his prop. to gr.-childr. yet with a reasona. mem. to six
ch. of his late br. Nicholas, of Scituate. See Lincoln, Cent. Addr. 39. Farmer
mistook him for s. of Nicholas. NATHANIEL, Yarmouth, eldest s. of Francis, had
three s. Samuel, b. 29 Oct. 1670; Nathaniel, 27 Jan. 1672; and prob. the other
was nam. Silas, says Mr. Otis. Both he and his w. d. Dec. 1691, as Mr. O.
assures me. *NICHOLAS, Hingham 1635, br. of the first Nathaniel, freem. 3
Mar. 1636, rep. 1636 and 8, rem. to Scituate, there was ord. 1660, third min. of
the first ch. and was of such good temper as to reconcile the two chhs. wh. had
quarrel. for thirty yrs. Mather, with his habitual carelessness, says, in the
Magn. III. 219, “he had but a private educat.” taking occasion to utter one
of his brilliant clauses; yet I found at St. John's Coll. Cambr. that he had his
A. B. 1631-2, and A. M. 1635. A short time he stopped at Roxbury. His w. that
prob. was mo. of all his ch. d. 1661, and he next yr. took ano. of wh. the bapt.
name Grace only is kn. and d. 22 Aug. 1678, aged 67. Her he made Extrix. of his
will, in wh. he names six ch. Samuel, Nicholas, Eliz. Sarah, Deborah, and Mary.
All the ds. were m. Mary, 26 Feb. 1662, to Stephen Vinal; Eliz. m. 1664 to John
Vinal; Sarah m. 1671, Josiah Litchfield; and Deborah m. 1678, Israel Chittenden.
Deane, 181-3. NICHOLAS, Marblehead, wh. Willis, I. 135, says m. Eliz. d. of
George Bartlett of Searborough, may have been s. of the preced. but we want the
illumin. of a date. Of one Nicholas, late of Boston, mariner, wh. may have been
a gr. s.. of Rev. Nicholas, admin. was gr. 8 Oct. 1695, to his mo. in law, Jane
Colyer of Hull. ||RICHARD, Dorchester, 1639, freem. 18 May 1642, ar. co. 1658,
by w. Faith, d. of Henry Withington, wh. d. 3 Feb. 1689, had Mary, b. 27 Apr.
1643, beside five other ds. perhaps, and certain. two s. only one having date,
and one even without a giv. name, as by his will of 7 Oct. 1689 is shown, viz.
John; James; Thankful, w. of William Griggs; Eliz. w. of a Pratt; Hannah, b. 9
Jan. 1663, wh. had m. 5 May 1685, John Wiswall; Sarah, then dec. wh. had been w.
of James; and one, the w. of Samuel Robinson. He had been selectman 1653,
constable, 1663, and d. 25 Oct. 1689, as Geneal. Reg. V. 395 [p.99] teaches.
ROBERT, Salem, wh. had gr. of ld. 1637, was k. by casualty 1640. See Winth. II.
24. ROBERT, Roxbury, by w. Mary had Robert, b. 29 Oct. 1673, wh. d. at 11 yrs.;
Mary, 11 Oct. 1675; Sarah, 24 Dec. 1676; Matthew, 5 Sept. 1678, wh. d. at 17
yrs.; Joseph, 4 Nov. 1680; Benjamin, 15 Aug. 1682; and Ann, 8 June 1685; and he
d. 25 Oct. 1720. Ment. on the rec. of d. is seen of two ch. viz. Eliz. 11 Sept.
and Jonathan, 24 Sept. 1694, of neither of wh. can the b. be found. SAMUEL,
Lynn, came in the Elizabeth and Ann 1635, aged 30, from London; but he was of
Co. Kent, says tradit. and d. 16 Dec. 1666. SAMUEL, Marshfield, not s. of
Nicholas, as was once thot. m. 29 Dec. 1656, Elinor, d. of Kenelm Winslow, had
Kenelm, b. 23 Mar. 1658; Lydia, 18 Feh. 1660; Eliz. 18 Mar. 1662; Alice, 19 May
1663; and Elinor, 1665; beside others in 1667, 9, and 71, of whose names, in the
mutilat. state of the rec. no certainty can. be attain. His w. d. or was bur. 27
Aug. 1676, and he m. 21 Feb. foll. Patience, wid. perhaps of the first Moses
Simmons of Duxbury, had Samuel. SAMUEL, Windsor 1669, m. 30 June 1670, Sarah,
eldest d. of Nathaniel Cooke of the same. SAMUEL, Hull, s. of Rev. Nicholas,
freem. 1677, m. Fear, d. of Isaac Robinson, rem. to Barnstable, there had sdm.
with his w. 1687, to that ch. on dism. from II. ‡THOMAS, Milford 1639,
Easthampton, L. I. 1650, was, perhaps, that Assist. of Conn. from 1658 to 63.
THOMAS, Roxbury, s. of John the first of Ipswich, freem. 1649, by w. Eliz. had
Eliz. b. 2 Oct. 1641; John; Joseph, 24, bapt. 27 Feb. 1648; Sarah, 24, bapt. 28
Apr. 1650; Mary, bapt. 6 June 1652, d. in 5 weeks; Mary, again, 11 Sept. 1653;
and for sec. w. took 27 Mar. or May 1663, Mary, d. of Robert Gamlin, had Thomas,
b. 7 Jan. 1664; and Mary, 27 July 1667; and he d. 28 Jan. 1684, “old, blind,
godly,” in the express. rec. of ch. His s. Thomas was k. by the Ind. at
Sudbury fight, Apr. 1676, surely a very young soldier, under Wadsworth, but he
had serv. in the Narraganset campaign as one of Johnson's comp. in Dec. bef. i.
e. less than twelve yrs. old. No incid. of those days more striking. gives proof
of the extens. reach of the perils. Sarah m. 19 Apr. 1671, Sebas Jackson; and
Mary m. Roger Adams. THOMAS, Lynn, s. of the first Edward of the same, m. 10
July 1689, Mary Lewis, perhaps d. of John. In June 1730, he testif. that he was
77 yrs. old, and that Andrew Townsend of L. wh. he had well kn. 55 yrs. was
wound. in the gr. Narraganset fight, 19 Dec. 1675, under Capt. Gardner. *THOMAS,
Topsfield, freem. 1665, m. a. 1673, Priscilla, d. of Dept. Gov. Samuel Symonds,
had Priscilla, and prob. more ch. was a milit. officer, and rep. 1686, 9, and
90. THOMAS, a min. 1678 at Newport, I hear nothing more of. THOMAS, New
London 1686, may have been s. of William, and certain. left ch. but names and
dates of them are unkn. One THOMAS, of Boston, was [p.100] head of a fam. 1691;
and ano. THOMAS at Lynn was freem. 1691. THOMAS, Yarmouth, youngest s. of
Francis, by w. Bathsheba had Mary, b. 7 Apr. 1701; and Thomas, 4 Mar. 1703.
TIMOTHY, Northampton, s. of Edward, freem. 1676, m. 16 Jan. 1672, Grace, d. of
John Marsh of Hadley, had Grace, b. 1673, d. soon; Timothy, 1675; and his w. d.
31 May 1676. For sec. w. he took Sarah, wid. of Rev. Hope Atherton, d. of John
Hollister, and had John, b. 3 Feb. 1680; Thomas, 14 May 1682; Edward, 12 Nov.
1685; Prudence, 14 May 1687; and Deliverance, 13 Nov. 1689. His w. d. 8 Dec.
1691; and he d. 30 Aug. 1729. His third s. was the youth, wh. m. Christina, d.
of Richard Otis, that was taken by the Ind. at 3 mos. old, from Dover, with her
mo. when they k. her f. 1689, and car. to Canada, there after a priestly educat.
made a Catholic by bapt. and m. a Frenchman, wh. had by her two ch. bef. his d.
Baker had been made a pris. by the Ind. prob. tak. to Canada in 1704, and in
differ. capacity in 1714, accomp. Col. Stoddard to bring home the prisoners from
Quebec. Many descend. in N. E. and remote parts spring from this m. among others
Hon. John Wentworth, late M. C. from Chicago, and present mayor of that prosper.
city. WALTER, Scituate, was suspect. in 1651, of murder of John Winter; but no
support was found for that surmise. WILLIAM, Charlestown 1633, freem. 3 Sept.
1634, hav. join. the ch. in Aug. 1633, was one of the petitnrs. in favor of
Wheelwright, but seasona. chang. his mind, and contin. in good stand.; by w.
Joan had Sarah, bapt. 20 May 1638; Stephen, 20 Feb. 1642; and Martha, 21 Apr.
1644; was a selectman 1646, and d. 8 Nov. 1658. His wid. d. 26 Sept. 1669.
Frothingham, 82, 5. WILLIAM, Plymouth 1643, may, I think, have been first of R.
I. as early as 1638, and prob. went thither again, being count. among the frcem.
1655, at Portsmouth. WILLIAM, Boston, pump-maker, m. 23 Sept. 1651, Mary, d. of
Edmund Eddington, had Mary, b. 16 May 1652, d. at 3 mos.; John, 14 Dec. 1653;
and William, 19 Oct. 1655. His w. d. 12 Dec. foll. and he m. 22 Apr. next,
Pilgrim, eldest d. of John Eddy of Watertown. But gr. uncert. or confus. appears
after this, for Bond, 203, and 755, makes a doubt, whether she were w. of P.
Stedman bef. or after Baker. Yet she was young, when B. m. ber, and he rem.
prob. to Concord, and there he or ano. William d. leav. wid. Mary and s.
William. His inv. is of 17 June 1679. WILLIAM, New London 1652-60, was perhaps
f. of Thomas. WILLIAM, Yarmouth, s. of Francis, by w. Mercy had Mercy, b. 6 Jan.
1692; William, 8 Jan. 1694; Dorcas, 15 Nov. 1696; Experience, 8 Jan. 1698;

yrs. perhaps rem. to Warwick, there was among the freem. in 1655. In 1672 one of
this name was at Huntington, L. I. but we may not infer, that he was the same,
as this fam. name was very abund. especial. in Conn. whose peop. spread much
upon L. I. HENRY, Portsmouth 1631, sent by Mason, the patentee. See Adams, Ann.

perhaps youngest, of the testator. JOSEPH, Hadley, s. of the preced. made freem.

d. in mid. life, 21 Nov. 1681, leav. Joseph, James, Samuel, Mary, and Hannah;

to M. NATHANIEL, Milford, not s. of the preced. was k. in the gr. swamp fight,

one call. weaver, the other, cooper. NATHANIEL, Milford, s. of Nathaniel the

Nathaniel, 1676; possib. Esther, 1683; and Samuel, 1684. One Nathaniel d. at M.
1692; and that Nathaniel, wh. fell in Philip's war may have been a stranger to
this blood. That s. of the first John wh. bore this name would have been among
the later inhab. of M. PETER, Salem, m. 27 May 1672, wid. Rachel Dell. Felt.
RICHARD, Braintree 1637, had d. Jane, and from Winth. II. 348 is seen all that

eldest s.) in the Martin to Boston 1638, but foll. soon; m. 1642, Eliz. Alsop,

Theophilus, bapt. at New Haven, 19 Sept. 1658; Zechariah, b. 22 Sept. 1660;
Martha, 1 Apr. 1663; and Barnabas, posthum. bapt. 1666. In some rec. will be
seen Theophilus, b. 26 Apr. 1659; but perhaps it is an error of the yr. He was
town clk. 1648, and rep. 1660 to his d. 23 July 1665. Perhaps he was one of the
first sett. at Derby, as ment. by Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 274, 322. He left good

s. of Richard of St. Leonard's in the parish of Aston Clinton, near Wendover in
Co. Bucks, where his f. by will of 18 Feb. 1632, had given him a cottage and
close, wh. his wid. (wh. had m. John Astwood, and was then his wid.) gave 1 Oct.
1666 to Edward Baldwin of Guilford, Co. Surrey, call. him “kinsman.” He brot.
w. Sarah, and perhaps all his ch. (exc. Richard), ds. Sarah, Mary, Martha, Ruth,
and s. John. “On the main ocean, bound for N. E.” his nuncup. will was made
21 June, and pro. 13 July of that yr. bef. Dept. Gov. Dudley by oaths of Chad
Brown, Francis Bolt, James Weedon, and John Baldwin, presumed to be his s. The

selectman 1668, and d. 30 Oct. 1676. His will made four days bef. pro. 19 Dec.

the f. of this h. tho. he may be right, and possib. mo. and d. f. and s. were m.

18 Apr. 1673; Dorothy, 6 Mar. 1675, perhaps d. young; and Abigail, 14 Nov. 1676.
At Lancaster he made his will 31 Dec. 1711, pro. 7 Oct. foll. wh. teaches us the
names of hs. for six of his ds. Abigail Houghton, Mehitable Parker, Hannah Cady,

venerable rec. may distort a name is shown here, where the clk. must certif.
that Eliz. Barron jr. m. Mary Sherman; and he had sec. w. Lydia, unless Bond

had John, b. 4 Apr. 1665; Moses, 26 Mar 1669; Ellis, 4 June 1672; and Eliz. 28
Sept. 1677; but the name of his w. or date of his d. is not seen. MOSES, br. of
the preced. may have liv. at Woburn, at least he
m. Mary, eldest d. of Isaac Learned of that place, but prob. d. early. TIMOTHY,
Watertown, a weaver, s. of Ellis the sec. m. 10 Mar. 1698, Rachel, d. of Samuel

Hadley, a soldier there on serv. 1676, perhaps from the E. m. 8 June 1688,
Mercy, d. of John Dickinson, first of the same, had Sarah, b. 2 or 9 Nov. 1690,

b. 19 Dec. 1642, d. in six days; rem. to Roxbury, there had Benjamin, Joseph,
Mary, Rebecca, and Ann, all bapt. 4 June 1665; and Mehitable, 28 Jan. 1666. His

Jan. 1679; Jane, 19 Jan. 1682; Eliz. and perhaps more, and d. 28 May 1727.
THOMAS, Newton, m. 18 Apr. 1682, Eliz. d. of the sec. Thomas Hammond of the

Woburn, perhaps br. of Edmund the first, had, at
Concord, Timothy, b. 13 Aug. 1649; Isaac, 1 Oct. 1650, d. young; rem. prob.
1654, to Billerica, had Sarah, 18 Jan. 1656; Jacob, 18 Jan. 1658; Thomas, 20

1692, in pris. on the preposter. charge of witcherf. and he d. 31 May 1706, aged
85. This name, like [p.355] Parker, Wheeler, or other designat. of office or
employm. was so wide. diffus. in our mo. country, that it must be vain to
attempt trac. of relationsh. in various pts. of this coutin. In 1834, Farmer
found the gr. of this name were three at Dart. one at Harv. one at Yale, and
five at other N. E. coll.
