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 Also, some of his research is out of date with new discoveries since he wrote these volumes, but most of it is still in date and can tell you more about the families of Woburn.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!

were uncles or cousins of Abigail, wh. m. at H. the Rev. John Wise, wh. declin.
the invit. to bec. the min. there, and after resid. of more than a yr. left the

perhaps, of first Thomas, liv. there 1666, went next yr. to Nantucket. Bef. rem.
he, by w. Sarah, prob. d. of Samuel Shattuck, had Joseph; Sarah; Richard, b. 23
Oct. 1653; Deborah, 12 Feb. 1658; Damaris, 21 Nov. 1662; and James, 19 May 1664;

Rebecca; and Mehitable; these four prob. at Charlestown; was freem. 1652; d.
early in 1698; but the gr.stone says 29 May. His will of 15 Mar. 1697, pro. 6
May 1698, shows he then liv. at Charlestown. [p.230] It names only s. Henry, and
six ds. Esther m. Edward Johnson, s. of Hon. William, and gr. s. of Capt.
Edward, (the hist. of Wonder Work. Provid.); Ruth m. John Jepson. RICHARD,
Nantucket, s. of the first Richard of the same, m. 17 May 1674, Mary Austin, had
Patience 29 June 1675; Joseph, 8 May 1677; Solomon, 1 July 1680; Benjamin, 20
July 1683; Miriam, 14 July 1685; and Lydia, 16 June 1687, d. young. He was judge
of Probate, and d. 8 May 1728; but his w. d. 1 June 1721. *SAMUEL, Salem 1657,
was s. I presume of first Thomas, b. in this country, a. 1629, had w. Mary
White, and ch. Mary, b. 5 Aug. 1658, d. under 4 yrs.; Eliz. 30 May 1660, d. at
18 yrs.; Mary, again, 29 June 1663, wh. m. Joseph Henfield; Margaret, July 1664,
wh. m. Deliverance Parkman, and d. 25 Mar. 1689; George, 15 Jan. 1668, d. at 8
mos.; Jonathan, and Hannah, tw. 18 July 1669; and Abel, 1 Sept. 1673; was freem.
1675, selectman 1686, rep. 1681, 2, 5; his w. d. 12 Sept. 1675, and he d. Oct.
1689, leav. only youngest three ch. SAMUEL, Hartford, or Wethersfield 1641, rem.
to Hadley 1663, there liv. 1678, had Samuel, wh. d. 1676, unm. and Joseph, wh.
d. 1684, leav. wid. but no ch. He had also five ds. wh. m. but the male line
failed. SAMUEL, Roxbury, a soldier in brave Capt. Johnson's comp. at the gr.
battle, 19 Dec. 1675, was a lieut. k. at Sudbury fight under Wadsworth, with
eight of his comp. Apr. 1676. SAMUEL, Plymouth, m. 20 Dec. 1682, Susanna
Shelley, had Samuel, b. 27 Sept. 1683. STEPHEN, Hingham, s. of John the first by
w. Sarah had Deborah, b. 9 Oct. 1689; Sarah, 31 July 1691; Stephen, 6 Feb. 1693;
Lydia, 22 Jan. 1695; David, 26 Aug. 1697; Abigail, 12 Jan. 1699; Stephen, again,
29 Dec. 1700; Patience, 3 Sept. 1703; and Joshua, 25 Dec. 1705, wh. prob. d.
young. *THOMAS, Salem, was first at Cape Ann, employ. by the project. of sett.
to oversee fishery, 1624 or 5, and rem. with Conant, freem. 17 May 1637, rep.
same yr. It is said, on what ground I kn. not, that he was from Scotland; but to
me it seems much more likely, that he was from Sherborne in N. part of Co.
Dorset. Prob. he had other ch. beside Seeth, bapt. 25 Dec. 1636 (wh. m. I
believe, the sec. Joseph Grafton); as, Richard, George, John, Samuel, Joseph,
Sarah, and Miriam, for some of wh. the prob. is stronger than for others. Sarah
was w. of Benjamin Balch, it is thot. and Miriam of a Hill; and Margaret, wh.
was rec. of the ch. 1639, may have been his w. He d. 29 Dec. 1674. THOMAS,
Roxbury, d. Nov. 1638; and “our aged sis. G.” says the ch. rec. was bur. 7
Oct. 1658, wh. I presume, was his wid. but the town rec. does not ment. the
occurrence of her d. THOMAS, Salem, merch. prob. eldest s. of Thomas of the
same, b. no doubt in Eng. rec. of the ch. 1639, freem. 2 June 1641, was a
selectman, d. 1684. Hannah, prob. his w. is, by Felt, ins. among ch. mem. of
1649. Bapt. of [p.231] his ch. were Mary, 2 Apr. 1643; Thomas, 25 May 1645, wh.
d. 1695; Eliz. 22 Apr. 1649; Abigail, 20 Apr. 1651; Bethia, 26 Mar. 1654;
Hannah, 24 Jan. 1658; and Jonathan, 12 Oct. 1662. Perhaps Mr. Farmer had, from
Felt, names of sev. other ch. but some, I believe, were brs. and sis. of his.
THOMAS, Roxbury, s. prob. of Thomas of the same, b. in Eng. m. 4 July 1641, if
the rec. be distinct, Lucy Smith, had Andrew, b. 5 Mar. 1642, bef. ment.;
Thomas, 1645, a wrong mo. being giv. in the rec.; Abigail, bapt. 15 Feb. 1646,
d. Aug. 1649; Mary, bapt. 9 Apr. 1648; Peter, 8 Dec. (tho. town rec. has Sept.)
1650, and he d. 24 Aug. 1653; Abigail, again, b. 6, bapt. 26 Dec. 1652; Lucy, 11
Feb. 1655; Joanna, 25 Jan. 1657; Joshua, 8 May 1659; and Caleb, 13 Apr. 1662, d.
at 19 yrs. Neither of the last five is named by Ellis, nor are the last three
found in town rec. Perhaps, as his resid. was in that part of Boston, call.
Muddy river, the clk. did not think he was of R. He was freem. 1646; and his w.
d. 4 Nov. 1687, and he d. 15 July 1689; in his will, made three days bef.
provides for Thomas, and Joshua; beside ds. Mary, wh. m. 13 Dec. 1665, Thomas
Boylston; Abigail, w. of Rev. John Wise; Joanna Stanton; and Lucy Monk. THOMAS,
Salem, s. of the sec. Thomas of the same, m. 22 Apr. 1669, Mary, d. of Jonathan
Porter, had Mary, b. 14 Feb. 1670; Thomas, 25 Oct. 1671; Habakkuk, 25 Oct. 1674;
Joseph, 29 Aug. 1677; and a d. 22 July 1679. THOMAS, Roxbury, s. of the sec.
Thomas of the same, m. 19 Nov. 1673, Mary, d. of Elder John Bowles, had Sarah,
b. 15 Mar. 1675; Thomas, 18 Apr. 1676; Mary, 11 Mar. 1679; John, 9 Jan. 1680;
Caleb, 23 Apr. 1682; Peter, 22 July 1684; and Isaac, 18 Aug. 1686. THOMAS,
Hingham, sixth s. of John the first of the same, m. 17 Dec. 1705, Judith Tower;
but no rec. of ch. is seen. Thirty of this name had, in 1829, been gr. at Harv.
and five at the other N. E. coll.

Great Hope, embark. late in 1634, or very early in 1635, wit Rev. Thomas
Shepard, who left this sh. and some mos. later took another pass. from London.
He was first at Watertown, certain. had ld. there 1637; brot. w. Joyce, and ch.
Samuel and Lydia; here had Nathaniel, b. Feb. 1638, wh. prob. d. young. His w.
d. No. 1638, and he m. Margaret, d. of wid. Isabel Wilkinson (wh. surv. him and

May 1636, rep. 1646 and 50, d. 26 Dec. 1658, aged 64. A vexatious rec. in
Geneal. Reg. IX. 169, makes Nathaniel b. 23 Aug. 1645 by his w. Joyce, wh. d.
near seven yrs. bef. when he was, of course, s. of Margaret; beside enrich. him
with w. Judith, that he never kn. It must always be borne in mind, that the

Wolcott 3d. JACOB, Wethersfield, m. Margery, d. of John Ingersoll of Westfield,

Dec. 1641. His will, made 5 days bef. names w. Amy, ch. only Susan, and Hannah.
How, whence, or when, he came to our shores is yet [p.268] unkn. A long
prevalent mistake of Gosse of Watertown, freem. of 1631, or this man, was
encourag. by the identity of appear. of the names on Col. rec. no differ. can be
seen by the most practiced eye. Eliz. G. aged 26, a passeng. in the James from
London in July 1635, may have been a sis. JOHN, Boston, freem. 1678, mem. of 2d
ch. He had bapt. there, Hannah, 2 Aug. 1691; Ebenezer, 12 Feb. 1693; Eliz. 5 May
1695; Sarah, 13 Dec. 1696; Sarah, again, 11 June 1699; Sarah, again, 21 Aug.
1709; and Mary, 15 Apr. 1711. Of these, by my conject. the first five were of
Hannah, d. of William Sumner. PHILIP, Wethersfield, had Jacob, b. 1649; Rebecca,
1651; Philip, 1653; Moses, 1656; and Aaron, 1658; d. 1674. SAMUEL, Cambridge, s.

Nathaniel, 9 Apr. 1675; and Joseph, 23 May 1677; and the w. d. Apr. 1679, aged
44. Harris, in Epit. says she was his sec. w. but this is prob. wrong. Mary,

Mitchell wrote contempor. [p.269] that, since he “had opportun. to look a
little into that action, for wh. these men suffer. I could never see that it was
justifiable.” Perhaps he felt, that putting to d. in cold blood the sovereign,
with wh. they had treat. on equal terms, as their captive, for sev. yrs. was a
murder, unless excus. by necessity; and that coward. pretence, when need. is
easi. found.

but his wid. Eliz. wh. d. 28 Oct. 1677, aged 88,and ch. Samuel, Nathaniel,
Sarah, w. of Thomas Longhorn, and Phebe, were all of Cambridge ch. 1658.
BARTHOLOMEW, Boston, youngest ch. of the first Samuel of Cambridge, was a
printer of no small note for issue of the first newspaper on our contin. Apr.
1704 and so in our time more thot. of than his f. for the wonderful Bible. He
was deac. of the third or Old S. ch. and d. 28 Dec. 1732. Next Thursday
the newspaper from his office contain. an ill-compact. memoir, in wh. his f. is
made to vouch, perhaps unduly, for sev. things, among others, nineteen ch.
eleven by first w. eight by sec. when by the rec. we are led to count seven by
one, six by the other. Even the birthday of the propr. may be thot. a yr. too
early. BARTHOLOMEW, Charlestown, s. of the firs Jacob of the same, by w. Maria
had Maria, bapt. 15 Oct. 1693; may have had no more. BENJAMIN, Warwick, s. of
the first Thomas of the same, m. Susanna, seventh d. of Randall Houlden, had

Rebecca, 1696; Rachel, 1698; Sarah, 1700; and Jonathan, again, 1705. But wh. was
his f. is not seen. DAVID, Providence, s. by his see. w. of the first James, m.
a Slocum, perhaps d. of Giles the see. had David; and by sec. w. wh. was a
Barber, had Jonathan, Joseph, and sev. ds. HENRY, Reading, call. by
Winth. “a scholar,” but we kn. not at wh. of the University, he was bred,
had been, in 1643, invit. to go to Martha's Vineyard by its first sett. but went

was the earliest min. of. R. ord. 5 Nov. 1645, and d. 11Oct. 1648. His wid. m.
as the will of f. shows. HENRY, Ipswich 1641, was perhaps the freem. of 13 May
1640, for I can hardly suppose it possible, tho. Farmer gave it without
suspicion, that the Rev. Henry would have failed of his prefix of respect from

Elisha, John, Jeremiah, Samuel, Mercy, Deliverance, and Mary. JOB, Warwick, s.
of the first John of the same, m. a Sayles, d. perhaps, of first John, had Job,
Christopher, Daniel, Philip, Amy, Phebe, Mary, and Catharine. JOHN, Charlestown,
came in the James from London 1632, arr. 12 June, with w. Perseverance and three
ch. John, Jacob, Abigail, Sarah Jones, a serv. and Joseph Greene, of whom we may
presume that he was a relat. perhaps apprent. Winth. says the sh. brot. twelve
passeng. and in the Custom ho. paper we have the names of two, beside [p.302]
the seven here ment. His w. was d. of Rev. Francis Johnson, it is said, a
puritan of eminence, who had fled to Amsterdam. She with her h. join. the ch. 29
Mar. 1633, and he was made freem. three days after, call. on the rec. serg. but
his milit. distinct. was sunk in the more import. title of ruling elder, the
only one Charlestown ch. ever had; was sometime town clk. and selectman twelve
yrs. begin. in 1646, d. 22 Apr. says the gr.stone or May 1658, aged 65. His will
of 21 Apr. of that yr. names w. Joanna, wid. of John Shatswell of Ipswich, and
as she had brot. him good est. that had lessened in his hands, he gave her most
of his prop. He names in it gr. s. John and Jacob, s. of his s. Jacob, gr. d.
Joanna, ch. I suppose, of Richard Shatswell of Ipswich, call. by him s.-in-law,
had three ch. at Charlestown, but lost three also, and the surv. were John,
Jacob, and Mary, this last b. 1, bapt. 6 Apr. 1634. So much was this name early
spread at Malden, that in the remonstrance against the action of the Gen. Ct.
upon the case of Rev. Mr. Matthews, their min. sign. by thirty-six females, in
1651, three were nam. Eliz. and one, Margaret, Green. JOHN, Roxbury, liv. with
Daniel Brewer, d. bef. 14 Feb. 1639. JOHN, Providence 1636, may be that surg.
who came from Southampton in the James, a. 6 Apr. and arr. at Boston 3 June
1635, had been of Salisbury, in Wilts; brot. w. and five ch. John, b. 1620;
Peter; James, 1629; Thomas, 1631; and Mary, prob. older than the last two. He
partook largely in the exertions of Gorton and his friends to obtain security
for their worldly as well as spirit. rights, and went to negotiate in London in
1644 for Narraganset, of wh. Warwick was the chief settlem. with full success;
and d. betw. 28 Dec. 1658, the date of his will, and 7 Jan. next, when it was

1634, aged 27, may have been of Salem, d. early, leav. wid. t wh. Felt says gr.
of ld. was made in 1638, but that diligent writer, I. 516, thot. the husband was
of the comp. in the James from Southampton a yr. later. In aid of that conject.
perhaps rather slight, is the fact, that six or seven of the passeng. in the
more recent sh. bec. inhabs. of Salem. But it is easy to mistake with so common
bapt. and surnames. JOHN, Charlestown, s. prob. of first John, b. in Eng. was
adm. of the ch. 17 Apr. 1642, and freem. 18 May foll. He digested, from sev.
verbal stories, the acco. of settlem. of the town, wh. has remarkably misled
Prince and other inquirers. The first seven [p.303] pages, so far from being a
contempo. rec. of exact facts, begin with relation, more or less minute, of what
took place thirty-five yrs. earlier. See Young's Chron. of Mass. 387. He had
been serv. of William Willoughby at Portsmouth, Eng. and after was of his s.

it necessary to count ano. John to be junr. there at that time, and it
may be that one or both went thither from Newport; or he may be the s. perhaps
youngest, of the first James wh. m. 16 Feb. 1711, Mary, d. of Increase Allen

report says, David, James, Increase, Job, beside sev. ds. JOHN, Sudbury, a capt.

Percival of the same, m. 20 Oct. 1656, Ruth, d. of Edward Michelson, had John,
b. 24 July 1657; Nathaniel, 25 Sept. 1658; Percival, b. 29 Mar. bapt. 1 Apr.

1683, by w. [p.304] Mary had Mary, b. Dec. 1668; Samuel, 1679, beside Eliz. and
Hannah, and d. 22 Mar. 1709. JOHN, Newport, m. Mary, eldest d. of William
Jeffrey, is, perhaps, one who was inhab. 1655; and ano. JOHN, adm. at Newport
1668, may have been his s. JOHN, Woburn, m. 3
July 1671, Sarah, d. of John Bateman of Boston, had Sarah, b. 6 June 1672;
Samuel, 29 Jan. 1674; John, 6 Jan. 1677; Hannah, 4 Mar. 1679; and perhaps he

Jacob the first, d. 1688, unm. JONAS, New London 1694, a shipmaster, of whose

d. 16 Jan. 1728 in her 43 yr. NICHOLAS, York, d. 1663, leav. wid. Susanna, wh.
m. Jeremiah Shears, and childr. whose names are not seen. The inv. was of 23
July in that yr. NICHOLAS, is the name of a soldier in Moseley's comp. Dec.
1675. PERCIVAL, Cambridge, br. it is suppos. of Bartholomew the first, came in
the Susan and Ellen 1635, aged 32, with w. Ellen, 32, and two serv. freem. 3
Mar. 1636, in the col. list whimsical. pervert. to Passevil, had John, b. June
1636; and Eliz. Apr. 1639; d. 25 Dec. 1639, when the town rec. makes the name
Perceiveall. His wid. Ellen, m. Thomas Fox; and d. Eliz. m. 4 Apr. 1656, John
Hall of Concord, and d. 14 Feb. 1714. Thomas, in Hist. of Print. I. 235, has
confus. I think, the childr. of Bartholomew and Percival. PERCIVAL, Cambridge, gr. s.
of the preced. the earliest gr. of this fam. [p.305] name at Harv. a preach. d.
10 July 1684. PETER, Warwick, s. of first John of Providence, b. in Eng. came
with his f.; m. it is said, Mary, d. of Samuel Gorton, was freem. 1655, and d.
1659, by drown. without issue. His wid. m. prob. John Sanford. PETER, Warwick,
s. of John the first of Warwick, m. 16 Dec. 1680, Eliz. d. of Stephen Arnold,
had Peter, John, William, Stephen, Elisha, Barbara, and ano. d. said to have m.
Stephen Arnold, not her cous. PETER, Warwick, s. of James the first of the same
(perhaps eldest, by his sec. w.), m. a Slocum, had sev. ch. and was drown. (wh.
may only be the story of first Peter, his uncle), as the geneal. reports without
giv. any names of ch. RALPH, Boston, had John, b. 22 Dec. 1642, perhaps rem. to
Malden, and there had a ch. b. Jan. 1654. RICHARD, Plymouth, came in the Charity
1622 for Weston's planta. at Weymouth, being br.-in-l. of W. d. soon after
landing. See Winslow's Good News from N. E. in Young's Chron. of the Pilgr. 299.
|| RICHARD, Boston, mariner, perhaps ar. co. 1638, but I doubt the rec. as he
was not adm. inhab. bef. 1654; by w. Rebecca had Rebecca, b. 7 Aug. 1665; and he
d. early in 1672. RICHARD, Warwick, s. perhaps youngest, of the first John of
the same, m. a Sayles, had John, Audrey, Amy, Isabel, Eleanor, and Mary.
RICHARD, Warwick, s. of the first Thomas of the same, m. a Carder of the same,
whether a d. or gr. d. of Richard is unkn. had Richard, Thomas, Mary, Eliz. and
Welthean. ROBERT, Wickford 1674. ROBERT, Hingham, m. Oct. 1666, Eliz. Nichols.
SAMUEL, Cambridge, eldest s. of first Bartholomew, b. in Eng. came prob. with
his f. 1632, tho. a foolish tradit. is in print of his coming with Gov. Dudley,
and after reach. N. E. tak. “empty casks to shelter them from the weather;”
was freem. 4 Mar. 1635, and made, not bred, a printer (as is well seen in
Thomas's Hist.), d. 1 Jan. 1702, aged 87, or, we may believe, something less. By
his first w. Jane, d. of Guy Bainbridge, wh. d. 16 Nov. 1657, he had Eliz. b. 16
Apr. 1640; Sarah, 7 Oct. 1642; Lydia, 23 Mar. 1645, d. soon; Lydia, again, 13
Apr. 1646; Samuel, 6 Mar. 1648; Joseph, 7 Nov. 1649; and Deborah, 19 Mar. 1655;
and by sec. w. Sarah, d. of Elder Jonas Clark, m. 23 Feb. 1662, had Jonas, bapt.
31 Jan. 1664; Lydia, again, 12 Nov. 1665; Eliz. b. 3 Nov. 1665 (as by the rec.)
d. very soon; Bartholomew, 26 Oct. bapt. 3 Nov. 1667; Mary, b. 6 Nov. 1669; and
Dorcas, 6 Sept. 1671. He was town clk. some yrs. capt. of the town milit. thirty
yrs. and engag. at the press fifty yrs. the greatest work, in conjunct. with
Marmaduke Johnson (sent from London by the Soc. for Prop. Gospel), being the
Ind. Bible. He is spoken of by John Dunton, in “Life and Errors,” with gr.
kindness. SAMUEL, Warwick, s. of John the first of the same, m. it is said, a
Gorton, but that may be a mistake for his uncle Peter; but he had Mary, William,
wh. bec. the Gov. of the Col. [p.306] Samuel, and Benjamin. SAMUEL, Boston, s.
of the first Samuel, m. Nov. 1685, Eliz. d. of capt. Joseph Sill, was f. of
Timothy, one of the earliest printers in Conn. and progenit. of a line in that
art, d. July 1690 of the smallpox, as did his w. at same time. SAMUEL, Malden,

1672; William, Aug. 1674; Martha, 1683; Eliz. 16 Nov. 1687; Isaac, 20 May 1690;
beside Mary, David, and Jonathan. He had sec. w. Susanna, but the first w. liv.
to 24 Nov. 1715; and he d. 31 Oct. 1724. THOMAS, Ipswich 1648, may have been br.
of Henry of the same; but as nothing is ever heard of either, they may be only
casual visitors. THOMAS, Malden, had w. Eliz. wh. d. Aug. 1658, and he m. 5
Sept. 1659, Frances, wid. of Richard Cook, wh. had been wid. of Isaac Wheeler,
but prob. by former w. only had ch. Thomas, the eldest; John, b. a. 1632;
William, a. 1635; Henry, Nov. 1638; all prob. b. in Eng. Samuel, Apr. 1645;
beside Eliz. Mary, perhaps both brot. from Eng.; Hannah; Martha; and Dorcas, 1
May 1653; and he d. 19 Dec. 1667. THOMAS, Malden, not s. of the preced. by w.
Margaret, perhaps d. of the first Thomas Call, wh. d. 22 June 1667, had Thomas,
b. 1 Apr. 1653; John, 26 Jan. 1659; Ephraim; Mary; and Eliz. all minors, nam. in
his will of 25 Feb. 1674, of wh. s. Thomas and br. Thomas Call were excors.; and
he d. 25 May foll. but he had m. 19 Aug. 1667, Eliz. Webb for sec. w. and may
have been the freem. of 1670. THOMAS, Malden, s. of the first Thomas of the
same, m. Rebecca, d. of Joseph Hills, had Rebecca, b. 1654; Thomas, Feb. 1656;
Hannah, 16 Oct. 1658, d. soon; Hannah, again, 24 Feb. 1660; and Samuel, 5 Oct.
1670; was prob. the freem. of 1671. His will of 13 Feb. 1672, on wh. day he d.
pro. 2 Apr. foll. made w. Rebecca extrix. names ch. all minors, and br. John
Wait overseer. The wid. d. 6 June 1674. THOMAS, Providence, youngest s. of the
first John of the same, came with his f. 1635, in the James from Southampton to
Boston, arr. 3 June, rem. with his f. to Warwick. m. 30 June 1659, Eliz. d. of
Rufus Barton of W. wh. d. 20 Aug. 1693, had Eliz. b. 12 July 1660; Thomas, 14
Aug. 1662; Benjamin, 10 Jan. 1666; Richard, 5 Mar. 1667; Welthean, 23 Jan. 1670;

THOMAS, Malden, s. of the sec. Thomas of the same, m. 22 Mar. 1676, Mary Weeks,
had Thomas, John, Mary, Ebenezer, and Eliz. wh. was b. 22 Dec. 1689; was freem.
1690, and d. 28 Apr. 1694. His wid. m. a Gage. THOMAS, Warwick, s. of Thomas of
the same, m. Ann, d. of his uncle, sec. John Green, had, beside sev. ds. John of
Portsmouth, R. I. wh. perpet. the name by a doz. ch. TOBIAS, Hull, 1675.
WILLIAM, Charlestown 1640, freem. 1644, was of the pt. wh. bec. Woburn,
by w. [p.307] Hannah had Mary, b. 20 Jan. 1644; Hannah, 7 Feb. 1647; John, 11
Oct. 1649; William, 22 Oct. 1651; and the f. d. 7 Jan. 1654. WILLIAM, Malden, s.
of the first Thomas of the same, m. 12 Sept. 1659, Eliz. d. of Isaac Wheeler of
Charlestown. But ano. rec. makes the m. on 13 Jan. 1660. He was freem. 1668. His
ch. were William, b. 1661; Isaac; John, Oct. 1667; Eliz. Nov. 1668; and Sarah,
11 May 1671. He had sec. w. m. 6 Feb. 1695, Isabel, wid. of James Blood, d. of
John Farmer, and d. 30 Dec. 1705; and his wid. d. 3 Mar. 1737. WILLIAM, Boston,
mariner, had ho. and ld. 1659-77. WILLIAM, Providence, sw. alleg. May 1671.
WILLIAM, Groton, by w. Mary had William, b. 13 July 1665; Ann, 12 May 1667;
John, Mar. 1669; Eleazer, 20 May 1672; Eliz. 11 Mar. 1680; and Hannah, 10 Apr.
1683. WILLIAM, Woburn, by w. prob. nam. Hannah,
had William, b. 9 Aug. 1675; Francis, 30 Nov. 1678; Ebenezer, 18 July 1680;
Mehitable, 30 June 1682, d. at 15 yrs. Hannah, 7 Oct. 1684, d. soon, perhaps;
Mary, 1 Nov. 1686; Samuel, 18 July 1689; Jacob, 14 Oct. 1691; and Joseph, 14
Apr. 1694. The stocks of Greens in our country are not exhaust.; and perhaps
never may be all brot. into a work like this, on acco. of their number. Very
early there was, beside the Salem wid. a wid. Green at Roxbury, as the ch. rec.
proves, and we may well imagine that she came so from Eng. for perhaps the Jane,
wh. m. 25 Dec. 1639, Martin Stebbin, and the Mary, who m. 26 Aug. foll. Thomas
Griggs, both at R. were, one or both, her ch.; and in 1635, Thomas, a youth of
15, emb. in the Hopewell, capt. Bundock, at London, to come hither, fellow
passeng. with Astwood, Ruggles, Payson, Whittemore, and the Eliots, who all sat
down at the same place. Ano. wid. with fam. of three was at New Haven 1643, may
have been mo. of John, but who was her h. will not be easy to learn. Especial.
hard has been the gather. of the Malden fams. and those of the four, five, or
six Thomases. Wholly vain would it be, to discrimin. in such a publicat. the
fams. by final e, or without it, for, in all contempo. MSS. letters or
rec. of the elder days, ea. individ. may be found with either terminat.
Twenty-nine of this name, with both forms, had, in 1834, been gr. at Harv. of

other N. E. coll. of wh. one had been min.

May 1638, had w. Margaret who outliv. him, but no ch. In his will of 20 Jan.
1678, he calls hims. 70 yrs. old. Matchless Mitchell's ch. reg. gives
this couple no ch. and his next is, wid. Mary H. whose ch. were all adult, when
she join.; and he adds, two of them, John and Susanna are since join. to the ch.
of Concord. EDWARD, Duxbury 1636, or 7, was of Taunton, in 1641, says Winsor,
but back again at D. next yr. a propr. at the sett. of Bridgewater in 1645; and
withdrew from the jurisdict. in 1652, but prob. was of Rehoboth, made his will

Eliz. 30 Apr. 1654; and Rebecca, 30 Apr. 1657; and he d. 15 Apr. 1657. But Felt
calls this Hale. Keayne, giv. him a legacy in his will, has odd words of praise.

21 Jan. 1689; and Nathaniel, 14 May 1692. FRANCIS, New Haven 1639, was at
Stratford after 1648, and 1657 adm. freem. of Conn. jurisdict. had Isaac, and
Samuel. At Fairfield he had large est. but d. early in 1690 at S. He brot. from

Yarmouth, m. Bethia, d. of the first Edward Bangs, had Samuel, b. 1669; Edward;
Bethia; Mercy, if the name be not Mary; and Jonathan; but the dates, as well as
order, is uncert. His w. d. 15 Oct. 1696, and he had sec. w. Martha. Tho. one of
the most active sett. of H. he had long liv. at Yarmouth, and there was bur. He
d. 31 Oct. 1732. HATEVIL, Dover, s. of the sec. John of the same; by w. Mary had
Hatevil, b. 15 Feb. 1709. HENRY, Westerly 1664, unit, with Richard Knight of
Newport in purch. from Ind. in Jan. of next yr. and from his will seems to have
had, in 1705, ch. eldest s. Henry, s. Edward, James, and John, s.-in-law Thomas
Stevens, and James Adams. HENRY, Boston, a soldier in capt. James Oliver's comp.
k. by the Ind. in the gr. swamp fight, 19 Dec. 1675. HENRY, Westerly, prob. s.
of the first Henry, in his will of 1715, names w. Constant; ch. Henry, James,
John, Edward, William, Elisha, Susanna, Eliz. Lydia, Mary, and Martha. ISAAC,
Fairfield, a surg., s. of Francis, perhaps b. in Eng. for he took o. of fidel.
at New Haven, 7 Apr. 1657, d. 1714, leav. w. Lydia, ch. Francis, John, and prob.
others. JAMES, New London 1662, then was tenant of John Winth. on Fisher's isl.
perhaps in 1669, liv. at Westerly, and may have been s. of Henry, sen. JOB, New
Haven 1646. JOHN, Charlestown, came 1630, it is thot from Coventry, prob. in the
fleet with Winth. being No. 19 on the list of mem. of Boston ch. and one of the
found. of that in Charlestown, with w. Bethia, in 1632; freem. 14 May 1634, had
beside Samuel, wh. m. Eliz. [p.334] Pollard, but d. perhaps late in 1694, at
Yarmouth, without issue (as the wid. m. 27 Apr. 1699, Jeremiah Jones of the

Nathaniel, Gershom, William, Benjamin, and Elisha), John, bapt. 13 May 1638;

Eliz. 4 Sept. 1647, d. soon; Eliz. again, 21 Nov. 1648; and he rem. to
Barnstable and Yarmouth, where more ch. were b. No little confusion, after large
scrutiny, exists as to the men of this name, so that it may be there was one
John at Barnstable at the same time there was one at Charlestown, but it is not
prob.; at least it is certain, that the ch. rec. of B. proves, that s. of John,
there bapt. were Joseph, 3 July 1642; Benjamin, 14 July 1644, d. in few days;
Nathaniel, 8 Feb. 1646; Gershom, 5 Mar. 1648; William, 8 June 1651; Benjamin,
again, 29 May 1653; and Elisha. His will, of 15 July 1694, pro. 29 Aug. 1696,
names the eight liv. s. JOHN, Kittery 1640. JOHN, Dover, brot. Ralph,
John, Stephen, and perhaps other ch. from Eng. very early. JOHN, Roxbury, wh. in
the ch. rec. has prefix of respect, I presume, was the freem. of 6 May 1635,
unless he may rather be reckoned of 13 May 1640; but as no further ment. of him
occurs here, perhaps he rem. with the gr. migra. to Conn. and was at Hartford
1644, and at Middletown 1654, where he d. 26 May 1673, aged 89. His will of few
days bef. ment. s. Richard, John, and Samuel, d. Sarah, w. of Thomas Whitmore,
m. 11 Dec. 1645, and d. 7 Dec. 1664. He says it was the 40th yr. of liv. in N.
E. JOHN, Lynn, perhaps as early as Mr. Lewis would have him, or 1630, possib.
the freem. of 13 May 1640, and may have been a short time at Salem 1637, bec.
one of the first propr. 1640, of Salisbury, hav. prefix of respect, m. 3 Apr.

Col.; in 1673 was lieut. of thear. co. and later a Notary, had sec. w. Eliz. wh.
had been wid. of Samuel Sendall, and still earlier wid. of John Warren, and d. 2
Dec. 1687; in his will of 8 July 1687, pro. 15 Feb. foll. provides for wid.
Eliz. and s. Samuel, and John, and conditional. sis. Hannah, and Sarah, father
and mo.-in-law Dawson, and gives £5. to Rev. Samuel Willard. His wid. Eliz. m.
Phineas Wilson of Hartford. JOHN, Bridgewater, s. of Thomas, perhaps b. in Eng.
m. Sarah, d. of Experience Mitchell, had Sarah, b. 1663; John, 1667; Joseph,
1669; Mary, 1672; Thomas, 1674; Benjamin, 1677; Susanna, 1680; Eliz. 1683;
Benoni, 1686; and Mercy, 1687. His name was sound. Howard, tho. the spelling was
unchanged, and to distinguish him from John Howard, he was, says Mitchell,
called “John of the Plain.” JOHN, Concord, s. of George, m. 2 June 1671, Ann
White, had Mary, b. 5 Dec. 1671, d. soon; George, 20 July 1673; Judith, 24 Apr.
1675; Mary, 13 May 1677; John, 7 July 1680; Ann, 3 Aug. 1682; and Sarah, 16 June

Boston 1676, by w. Silence had Mary, b. 5 June 1677. JONATHAN, Braintree, s. of
William, m. 6 May 1663, Sarah, d. of Richard Thayer, had ten ch. or more; d. 21
Nov. 1690, aged 49. He was gr. gr. f. of Lemuel, H. C. 1768, who was [p.393] f.
of George, H. C. 1809, one of the disting. Professors in that Univ. Perhaps this
number of ch. was not all b. of that w. Sarah, wh. had, I think, been w. of
Samuel Davis, and bore him three ch. There was in the land only one Richard
Thayer, wh. so early had d. Sarah, and she m. S. D. of Boston, where her f. liv.
JOSEPH, Concord, s. of George, m. 26 Oct. 1665, Hannah, d. of James Hosmer, had
Joseph, b. 17 Aug. 1666; Mary, 27 Sept. 1667; John, 1669, d. young; Hannah, 14
Jan. 1671; Dorothy, 2 June 1674; his w. d. 15 Dec. 1675; and he m. 23 Mar. 1677,
Eliz. Treadwell, had Ebenezer, 22 July 1678; James, 3 Mar. 1681; Simeon, 18 June
1683; and Abiel, a d. 17 Sept. 1691. JOSEPH, Bridgewater, s. of Thomas, a deac.
had three ws. By the first Alice, d. of Elder William Brett, had Joseph, b.
1673; and by the third, Hannah, d. of Experience Mitchell, had Mary, 1685;
Thomas, 1687; Edward, 1689; Hannah, 1691; Susanna, 1695; Peter, 1699; and
Abigail, 1702. NATHANIEL, Bridgewater, br. of the preced. m. Hannah, d. of deac.
John Willis, had Nathaniel, b. 1664; John; Thomas; Samuel; Elisha; Patience; and
perhaps other ds. NICHOLAS, Salem 1643, rem. prob. to Boston, and by w. Eliz.
had Richard, b. 22 Aug. 1665; Rebecca, 19 Nov. 1666; and John, 29 June 1668.
RICHARD, Salem, was of Co. Bedford, came with Higginson 1629. ROBERT, Windsor, a
miller, m. Lydia, d. of the first Thomas Kilborne, had Tabitha, b. 1 Jan. 1647;
Rebecca, 17 Aug. 1648; Esther, 8 June 1651; Lydia, 13 Jan. 1655; beside three
other ds. most of wh. d. young; and Ephraim, 11 Jan. 1657; rem. to Northampton
1659, but after some yrs. went back to W. there d. 1684. His wid. wh. came with
her f. in the Increase 1635, test. in 1684, that she was 70 yrs. old, only
slight exagger. Rebecca m. a. 1665, John Spencer of Haddam. This fam. is usually
called Howard. ROBERT, Boston, a Notary. See Howard. SAMUEL, Gloucester, m. 2
Mar. 1641, the first on the rec. a d. of Henry Felch, had Samuel, b. 4 Jan.
1642; and John, 24 Dec. 1643. SAMUEL, Boston, by w. Isabel had James, b. 16 Dec.
1645; Samuel, 4 May 1646, by perverse rec.; and Peter, 4 Aug. 1654; and he, or
more prob. the preced. was of Mendon 1672. SAMUEL, Charlestown, came in the
Elizabeth 1635, aged 22, and I suppose sat down in that pt. wh. bee. Malden, had
Martha, b. 15 Mar. 1653; Mary, Aug. 1654; Sarah, Feb. 1656; and Eliz. 25 Sept.
1658, d. young. In the will of Eliz. H. wid. I find ground for conject. that she
was relict of this man. It has date of May 1686, and was pro. 5 May of next yr.
and gives d. Abigail the part of movables that came to her from est. of her first
h. Oakes, with proviso, that, if it amount to above £20., she shall give 20 sh.
to w. of Samuel Hayward. That d. Abigail (whose mo. Eliz. Hayward, formerly w.
of Thomas Oakes of Cambridge, had been, Dec. 1667, dism. to Malden), [p.394]
was, as the Reg. of matchless Mitchell tells, bapt. 23 Sept. 1666, in his ch. At
C. he had, also, Richard, bapt. 22 July 1660; Eliz. 9 June 1661; Deborah, 6 July
1662; Nathaniel, 5 June 1664. But these were not ch. of Eliz. who had been wid.
of Oakes, and was, after 1662, wid. of Seth Sweetser, when she m. Hayward, and
born him Abigail, wh. I suppose, m. 31 Oct. 1688, John Upham. A Samuel H.
perhaps s. of the preced. was in London, with John Balston, and John Herring,
dealing with Judith, wid. of Stephen Winthrop, in May 1687, and resolv. to emb.
for New Eng. The name is on some rec. written, as sound. Howard. But I am almost
certain that f. and s. are confus. or some other confus. appears. SIMEON,
Concord, s. of George, m. 7 Mar. 1687, Eliz. perhaps d. of the first Jonathan
Danforth, had Eliz. b. 28 Feb. 1689; Jonathan, 16 Nov. 1690; Simeon, 24 Apr.
1693; and Mary, 19 Mar. 1696. THOMAS, Cambridge, came in the Hercules 1635, from
Sandwich, being tailor of Aylesford, Co. Kent, with w. Susanna, and five ch. but
he had perhaps been here as early as 1632, coming with Winslow in the William
and Francis, and satisf. with prospects, went home to bring them; sett. at
Duxbury bef. 1638, prob. at Bridgewater 1651, being of the first proprs. 1645,
was freem. of the col. 1646, had Thomas, Nathaniel, John, Joseph, Elisha, Mary,
w. of Edward Mitchell, and Martha, w. of John Howard; but of these we are unable
to discrim. which were b. in Eng. or whether even he were that Kentish man, or
not. He d. 1681. Elisha never was m. made his will 1703. Descend. of Thomas are
more num. says Mitchell, than those of any other inhab. THOMAS, Bridgewater, s.
of the preced. a valua. officer, d. 15 Aug. 1698, leav. w. Sarah, d. of William
Ames of Braintree, but no ch. THOMAS, Enfield, had Benjamin, b. 1686, but bef.
had Nathan, John, and sev. ds. was “aged a. 50,” in 1693, so that it is
prob. that he was b. on this side of the Atlantic, d. 1700.* WILLIAM, Hampton,
freem. 13 May 1640, had been of Charlestown in 1637, was lieut. and rep. 1641-5.
WILLIAM, Braintree 1648, had w. Margery, and sev. ch. of wh. Jonathan is the
only one to be traced exactly, was drown. 1659. WILLIAM, Swanzey, by w. Sarah
had Jonathan, b. 8 Apr. 1672; Margery, 10 Sept. 1673. Fifteen of this name had,
in 1850, been gr. at Harv. Great skill will often be baffled in reconcil. the
various spell. with the deductions of fams. from Hayward, Haywood, Heywood, and
the predominant Howard.

See the very curious let. of Plymouth Court to our Gov. in Geneal. Reg. II. 240.
He may have been at Salem, and had gr. of ld. 1650, and of Beverly 1659, where
he was among the princ. men 1681 and 2; or the man of this name at Lynn 1655, or
of Dover 1649-72, or of Medfield 1656. So common was this name, and one was
freem. 1646. This last by w. Hannah had Abigail, b. 2 Feb. 1658; Samuel; John,

bef. their f. He d. 1664. Too much a. this fam. depends on tradit. Hannah is
said to have m. Daniel Fisher of Taunton; Frances m. prob. Jonas Austin, jr. of
Taunton, tho. Col. Rec. gives her to Jonah Allin, senr.; and ano. d. is said to
have m. a Taunton man; Mary m. 12 [p.417] Feb. 1657, Thomas Breck of D. But the
will of 11 Apr. 1660, pro. 30 June 1664, makes it clear, that, besides John and
Mary, nine younger ch. were then liv. JOHN, Rowley 1641, or earlier. JOHN, New
Haven 1643, br. of Robert, took o. of fidel. 1644, had no fam. and d. 1647.

Eng. where, and not Shrewsbury, in the other side of the island, as had been
said, he was a woolen draper, having large transact. at London, had br. John of
Barnham, wh. is a. 10 ms. from Malden, wh. may have come over or d. sev. yrs.
earlier, with w. Rose, wh. is thot. to have been sis. of Presid. Dunster, adm.
of the ch. 2 Feb. 1640, yet not freem. until 1645, tho. he was selectman the yr.
preced. rep. for Malden 1647, 50 to 6, speaker of the ho. in the earliest yr.
but not “the first speaker,” as in Geneal. Reg. IX. 34, is said; and leader
of the milit. of the town. His w. d. 24 Mar. 1650, and he m. 24 June of the

Nathaniel, wh. was b. 19 Dec.1653; Samuel, July 1652; Hannah; Deborah, Mar.
1657, d. young; Abigail, 6 Oct. 1658, d. young; and Wait, tho. it seems prob.
that this last is call. s. only from m. a d. of the testator. He wrote his name
with final s; but in some rec. that addit. does not appear. In the third
m. he imitat. the foolish precedent of Gov. Bellingham at an earlier day,
performing, in his own right, the legal ceremony, for wh. act he was presented
at the Court. His will, of 14 Sept. 1687, names gr. childr. Hannah and Eliz.
Blanchard, Hannah Vinton, and Samuel Greene; makes s. Samuel and s.-in-law Abiel
Long to be excors. See Geneal. Reg. VIII. 309. JOSEPH, Malden, s. of the preced.

Apr. 1692, d. in 3 days; Sarah, 28 Sept. 1693; Abigail, 13 June 1697, from wh.
by interm. with Oliver Farmer, descends the most disting. antiquary of N. E.;
Joseph, 9 Feb. 1702; Timothy, 15 July 1705. *EBENEZER, Stratford, perhaps s. of
Peter of Fairtield, m. 23 Nov. 1671, Eliz. d. of Edward Worster, Worcester, or
Wooster, had Eliz. b. 1672, rem. to Derby 1676, there had Eunice, 22 Aug. 1678;
Hannah, 6 Dec. 1680; Peter, 1684; and Ebenezer, Feb. 1687; and perhaps more. He
was freem. 1678, and long one of the chief of the town, its rep. 1685, and after
lieut. maj. and col. contin. propr. 1717. EDMUND, Hampton, came in the James
from London, 1635, aged 23, d. 10 Mar. 1654, leav. ch. Peter, wh. was bapt.
1639, and drown. 16 Nov. 1674; John, 16 May 1641; James; and Dorcas; beside wid.
Mary, wh. m. 11 July 1651, Thomas Coleman, and d. 30 Jan. 1663. *EDWARD, Woburn,
the famous capt. and auth. of the curious IIist. call. “Wonder Working
Providences of Sion's Saviour in N. E.” cam, no doubt, in the fleet with
Winth. 1630, req. adm. 19 Oct. in that yr. and took the o. 18 May foll. He was
of Hernehill, a parish near Canterbury, wh. accounts in some degr. for the
strenuous opposit. akin to the ludier. that he always show. to the ch. of Eng.
After liv. some time at Charlestown, or Salem, or other planta. to satisfy hims.
he went home to bring his w. Susan, seven ch. and three serv. in 1636 or 7, and
was sett. at C. 1637, bec. one of the found. of the ch. at W. rep. 1643-71, exe.
the yr. 1648, and was speaker 1655, was town clk. almost 30 yrs. and did other
val. serv. d. 23 Apr. 1672. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 276. With his gr.
devot. to the cause of relig. for wh. he aband. nat. ld. and good est. it is
strange we kn. not to wh. of the chhs. here he join. bef. the gather. of his own
at W. and ordin. of his min. in Nov. 1642, about all of wh. be is so very
partic. in his Hist. that none can doubt his sincerity of puritan. His will, of
15 May 1671, writ. with his own hand. names w. Susan, to wh. he gives rents of
his lds. in Old Eng. and mansion and lds. here in W.; his eldest s. Edward, and
his s. the gr. s. Edward, to wh. one quarter of the farm in the parish of
Hernehill; s. George, and his s. the gr.s. George, to have dwel. ho. and orchard
at Waterham, in the same parish; to s. William, and Matthew, and Matthew's
eldest s. and William, and Edward, s. of William, pt. of the farm at Hernehill,
to s. John, and his s. the gr.s. John, a small tenem. in the same parish; also
disting. these gr.ch. William, s. of John; Catharine, d. of Edward; Catharine,
d. of George; Esther, d. of William; Rebecca, d. of Matthew; Bethia, d. of John;
James, Susanna, and Hannah, ch. of s.-in-law James Prentice, whose w. was his d.
Susanna; and [p.551] John, s. of John Amee, or Eames, and his eldest d. whose
name, I think, was Martha. I suppose George and John went to fatherland. EDWARD,
York, adm. freem. of Mass. 1652, with prefix of resp. and in later days, I
think, liv. at Wells, was in high esteem by all parties n their time of confus.
from 1656 to 80, and after that sw. alleg. to Charles II.; in a depon. 1678,
tak. by William Symonds he calls hims. 82 yrs. Perhaps he was f. of that Edward,
tho. he may be the same, unfavor. ment. in Winth. II. 210. EDWARD, Woburn,
eldest s. of capt. Edward, b. in Eng. in the latter days of King James, freem. 2
May 1638, yet I see not, of what ch. he was memb. m. 10 Jan. 1650, Catharine
Baker, had Edward, b. 5 Nov. 1650; and Catharine; perhaps he rem. to
Charlestown, and had John, bapt. 10 Apr. 1664; and prob. no more, and d. 15
Sept. 1692, “upwards of 70.” EDWARD, Charlestown, prob. s. of the preced. by
w. Miriam had William, Ebenezer, and Susanna, all bapt. 18 Nov. 1688; and
perhaps Abigail, 19 Feb. 1693. EDWARD, Branford, m. Esther, d. of Thomas
Wheaden, had Eliz. b. 1690; Amos, 1693; Experience, 1695; Edward, 1697; Esther,
1700; and Ebenezer, 1703. EDWARD, Woburn, s. of
William, freem. 1684, m. 12 Jan. 1687, Sarah, d. of Samuel Walker, had Edward,
b. 12 Oct. 1687, d. at three mos.; Edward, again, 4 May 1689; and by see. w.
Esther, d. of Richard Gardner, had Esther, 26 Jan. 1694; Samuel, 21 Feb. 1696;
and Susanna, 14 Jan. 1701; Ichabod, 22 Apr. 1703; and perhaps Eliz. 6 Nov. 1705;
and Joseph, 22 June 1708. FRANCIS, Salem 1630, freem. 18 May 1631, perhaps br.
of capt. Edward, and may have come with him, was neph. of Christopher Coulson
(an Assist. chos. at the first elect. after the chart. 13 May 1629, wh. had
contrib. freely to the com. fund of the comp. but not intend. to emigr. was in
Oct. foll. excus.). He brot. order from his uncle to take up his ld. in ratio of
the stock, but fail. to obt. it, tho. in 1660 Felt says he petit. for it. His o.
29 June 1668, shows he was a. 60 yrs. old. See Geneal. Reg. XIII. 170. By w.
Joan he had, bapt. there, Naomi, 1 Apr. 1638; Ruth, 9 Mar. 1640; Eliz. 24 Apr.
1642; Francis, 16 June 1644; Samuel, 20 May 1649; Joan, 5 Oct. 1651; and Sarah,
19 Feb. 1654. He was a lieut. and gave his planta. at that part made Marblehead,
the stile of Brooksby. Prob. his w. d. in few yrs. more, and he m. at Boston, 24
Oct. 1656, Hannah, wid. I presume, of William Hanbury; may be the F. Johnson in
Frothingham's list of 1677, at Charlestown (certain. not entit. in 1648 to the
double name of Walsingham giv. him by Dana), was 82 yrs. old in 1686, and d. 3
Feb. 1691, prob. at Boston. FRANCIS, Andover, s. of Stephen, m. 1 Feb. 1694,
Sarah Hawkes. HUMPHREY, Roxbury, s. of John, m. 20 Mar. 1643, Ellen Cheney, had
Mehitable, b. Sept. 1644, bapt. 29 Mar. 1646; Martha, bapt. 12 Sept. 1647; and
Deborah, 20 [p.552] Jan. 1650; rem. to Scituate, there had John, b. Mar. 1653;
Joseph, 24 June 1655; Benjamin, 27 Aug. 1657; and Margaret, Dec. 1659; may have
had ano. w. at Hingham, and by her Joseph, again, 1676; and Isaac, at S. 1677.
But he came back to R. and m. 6 Dec. 1678, Abigail May, and had John, again, 17
Nov. 1679. Yet, that this was ano. man is highly prob. and the younger Humphrey
was one of the soldiers draft. from Hingham for Narraganset campaign in the
comp. of brave capt. Johnson of Roxbury. ‡ISAAC, Salem, s. of Abraham, gr. s.
of Robert of Clipsham, Co. Rutland (wh. was arch deac. of Leicester, 1584, and
parson of North Luffenham in said Co. whose lineal descend. Ezekiel, in 1727,
was lord of the manor of Clipsham); and his mo. w. of Abraham, was a d. of
William Chadderton, D. D. the puritan Bp. of Lincoln. He had larger est. than
any of the patentees that came to our country; was an Assist. nam. in the royal
chart. next to Sir Richard Saltonstall, and in the list of mem. of the Boston
ch. form. at Charlestown, stands after Winth. and Dudley, and bef. Wilson, their
min. He came with Winth. in the admiral sh. of the fleet, formerly nam. the
Eagle, but after purch. by the Gov. and Comp. for this exped. call. Arabella, in
complim. to the illustr. passeng. his w. She was one of the ds. of Thomas
Clinton, third Earl of Lincoln, and sis. of Theophilus, the fourth Earl, ancest.
of the present Duke of Newcastle, whose eldest s. by courtesy, has, therefore,
the style of Earl of L.; and left, says Mather, I. 21, in one of the few happy
passages of his work, “an earthly paradise in the fam. of an Earldom to
encounter the sorrows of a wilderness, for the entertainments of a pure worship
in the ho. of God; and then immediately left that wilderness for the heavenly
paradise.” She d. in few wks. after landing at Salem, and was bur. there; and
in a. one mo. he foll. her, prob. to the same spot, bef. the settlem. of Boston.
A splendid myth as to his place of burial has possess. of the common credul. His
will, made less than a mo. bef. embark. in wh. he made the ever memor. John
Hampden one of his excors. with Winth. and Dudley, beside two Eng. neighb. may
be read in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 244. Prince, in his Ann. gives the tradit.
acco. from Ch. J. Sewall of his having ho. in such a part of his lot, to wh. he
had rem. wh. is now the chief square of Boston, and of being inter. at the upper
end, &c. &c. But as no earlier authority ever alludes to such a fact,
and as Sewall was not b. for near two and twenty yrs. after the event, and came
not here from Eng. for a. nine yrs. more, the prob. is far greater, that the
tradit. is worthless; and that after the d. of Johnson, 30 Sept. 1630, wh. was
earlier than any even the meanest cottage could be rear. on this peninsula since
their com. and bef. Winth. or Wilson had cross. from Charlestown, where he d.
the corpse was either bur. there, or, if rem. at [p.553] all, was transport. by
water to Salem to be laid along-side of his noble partner. Nearly exact
approxim. to that spot is kn. and Mr. Drake, the ardent auth. of the Hist. of
Boston, p. 91, asks, why a monum. has not been rear. to designate it. In a note
on p. 71, he says, “I have myself an engraved portrait of the lady”; but I
fear it must not be thot. origin. or certain. his possession would be much
envied. Without seeing the picture, I venture to suggest, that it refers to some
other person, and that the possessor imposed on hims. a fond imagina. for
reality. See Young's Chron. 318. He left no ch. and as his w. was too ill to
leave Salem, no doubt he accomp. her. At least we kn. that he was abs. at the
first Ct. of Assist. 23 Aug. and present at that of 7 Sept. both at Charlestown,
but not attend. the next in that mo. and indeed bur. prob. bef. its close. If,
as I presume, he never lodg. (on our side of the Atlantic) out of the place of
first landing, unless it might be a single night bef. or after the magistr. Aug.
Ct. all weight of probabil. is in favor of Salem, rather than Boston. Drake, p.
99, has put forth an opposite opin. and seems to rely solely on Sewall, wh. was
a ch. when first brot. from Eng. above thirty yrs. after the d. of Johnson in
whose honor the tradit. was gradual. elaborat. and perpetua. by the credulity,
not the judgment of Prince. Very curious paper by his f. may be read in Geneal.

MARMADUKE, Cambridge 1661, printer, sent over by the Soc. for Prop. the Gospel
to put Eliot's Ind. Bible to press, ought to have more told of him, than that he

first, yet in 1674 he was again chos. printer; whether he had come back from his
native ld. and here solicit. patronage is not certain. kn. but may reasonab. be
believ. We can boldly presume, that it was not on acco. of re-impress. of
the Ind. Bible, for that work in the sec. Ed. did not appear bef. 1685; and he

of b. is not kn. He d. 30 Nov. 1690. THOMAS, Hartford, a cobbler, as the rec. of
his admin. 1640, calls him. THOMAS, Hingham 1635, came, perhaps, in the
Hopewell, capt. Babb, in the autumn of that yr. from London, aged 25 (tho. the
name in the custom ho. rec. may be tak. for Ireson, and inspect. leaves it
uncert.) is prob. the man, wh. was [p.558] in peril on a raft, 1646, as told by
Winth. II. 305, and was drown. says Boston ree. in the harbor, 29 May 1656. His

Ebenezer, 29 Mar. 1659; Esther, 13 Apr. 1662; Joseph, 14 June 1664; Benjamin, 15
Oct. 1666; Josiah, 15 Jan. 1669; Susanna, 29 June 1671; and Abigail, 4 Oct.
1674. Perhaps he took sec. w. 18 Feb. 1692, Mary Cook. He [p.559] was rep. 1674,
6-83, a milit. offic. of every rank, exc. the highest, an Assist. 1684 till the
usurp. by the King of our chart. rights, and, on overthrow of Andros, 1689, one
of the Comtee of safety, a generous and sturdy support. of old chart. so no
favorite (Hutch. I. 414, well presumes) with Mather, wh. dictat. the appointm.
at the Court of William and Mary; and d. 22 May 1704. His wid. d. 27 Dec. 1707,
tho. the clumsy inscript. on her gr.stone says she d. 17 Dec. 1706, aged 48,
when she had been m. upwards of fifty-one and a half yrs. bef. this false date;
and d. Esther m. 17 Dec. 1685, Seth Wyman, and d. 31 Mar. 1742. WILLIAM,
Wallingford 1670, perhaps s. of Robert, prob. rem. to New Haven, there had w.
Sarah, and was propr. 1685. WILLIAM, Andover, m. 23 May 1678, Sarah Lovejoy, had
Susanna, wh. d. 7 Feb. 1683; and prob. other ch. was freem. 1691. WILLIAM,
Charlestown, perhaps s. of William of the same, by w. Sarah had Joanna, b. 22,
bapt. 26 Oct. 1684. WILLIAM, Woburn, prob. s. of
William of the same, had w. Esther, wh. d. 17 Dec. 1706, in 49th yr.; by her had
William, bapt. at Charlestown 6 Apr. 1684; and William, again, b. 28 Mar. bapt.
22 July 1688; Thomas, bapt. 28 Mar. 1690; Matthew, 31 Jan. 1692; Bethia, 1 Apr.
1694; and Richard, 17 Nov. 1695. WINGLE, or WINDLE, New Haven, m. 1664, Sarah,
d. of John Hall, had William, b. 15 Sept. 1665; and John, 20 July 1667; was
freem. 1669. ZECHARIAH, Charlestown 1672, by w. Eliz. had Eliz. bapt. 9 Apr.
1673; Jephtha, 28 Nov. 1675; Sarah, 18 Nov. 1677; and Zechariah, 5 Sept. 1680;
William, 11 Feb. 1683; Sarah, again, 14 Dec. 1684; and Mary, 14 Oct. 1688; and
he was freem. 1676. Of this name the occurrence is so freq. in all parts of N.
E. that out of inq. confin. exclus. to it, a large vol. would grow. Perhaps even
some stocks may have escap. my research. The first person in N. E. guilty of the
impossib. crime of witchcraft, and exec. at Hartford, was a Johnson of Windsor;
and one of the most disting. was Rev. Samuel, b. at Guilford, 14 Oct. 1696, the
first Presid. of King's Coll. at New York, wh. d. 6 Jan. 1772. Sometimes, but
rarely, this name appears Johnstone. Ten of the name had been gr. at Harv. in
1834, of wh. three were clerg. and forty-eight at other N. E. coll. of wh.
twenty-one were clerg.

on 23 Sept. 1677 is found “Mary K. the w. of our br. John K. He m. 19 Dec.
1678, wid. Mary Clements, as fourth w. and she d. 12 [p.37] July 1682, and,
again, “9 Jan. 1680, Mary K. w. of our br. John K.” and finally, “9 Mar.
1684, Sarah K. w. of our br. John K. by dism. from Boston first ch.” as
Budington's valua. list, pp. 248, 9 and 50 show. So that we might take the last
two, or even three to belong to John the younger and leave eno. But five ws.
this man had. From the will of ano. John of Charlestown, no doubt his f. made 14
Feb. 1673, of wh. we see not the day of pro. but find the inv. of 1 June 1674,
we find no other relat. nam. but Eliz. and Abigail, ds. of his s. John,
s.-in-law Robert Peirce of Woburn, and the w. his
own d. Mary, and makes overseer, his friend and br. (but this means only, I
judge, the ch. relationsh.) John Chickering wh. was the physician. For his third
w. this John of C. took, 22 June 1668, Mary Bridge, wh. d. Oct. 1678. In spite
of his five ws. he liv. to ripe age, for in 1679 he was call. 46 yrs. old, and
his fourth w. 52; and his will, made 28 Nov. 1701, was pro. 13 Dec. 1714. JOHN,
Lynn, had Martha, b. 11 Aug. 1657. JOHN, Northampton, freem. 1676. JOHN,
Charlestown, not s. of John of the same, by w. Persis had Persis, bapt. 2 May
1669, d. young; Mary, 31 July 1670; Persis, again, 17 Mar. 1672; John, 23 Nov.
1673; Samuel, 12 Sept. 1675; perhaps sev. more, and some of these may belong to
the other John of C. for, Mr. Wyman assures me, no John of C. had w. Persis.
JOHN, Newbury, eldest br. of Benjamin, m. 1 Jan. 1672, Rebecca, d. of Rev. James
Noyes, had James, b. 3 Sept. 1672; Rebecca, 27 Apr. 1674; John, 3 Apr. 1676;

31 Mar. 1663, Ruth Wright, and had Jonathan; Ebenezer; Enos; Ruth; and Deborah;
and he d. 17 Jan. 1683. He was prob. s. of the first Philip. A John, with w.
Mary, and Joseph, with w. Hannah, early at Watertown, are ment. by Bond, but no

his will of 16 Jan. 1733 names w. Martha, and ds. Martha, Ruth, Rebecca, Hannah,
Mary, and Dorothy. MAUTLYN, or MACKLIN, Boston 1643, had w. Dorothy. MICHAEL, Woburn,
m. 20 Oct. 1657, Mary Bullard, had Mary, b. 14 Oct. 1658; Jonathan, 23 Mar.
1662; Joshua, 20 Jan. 1665; Lydia, 29 Sept. 1674; and he had been adm. freem.
1654. PHILIP, Charlestown, had w. Margery, ch. Jonathan, Philip, Rebecca, Eliz.
and Mary; wh. at his d. were of the ages respectiv. a. 26, 23, 17, 13, and 11;
but he had rem. long bef. to Topsfield, or near it, and d. Nov. 1668. PHILIP,
Wenham 1669, s. of the preced. was of Salem 1670. RICHARD, Newbury, prob.
younger br. of the first John, came with him from Southampton in the James,
1635, call. in the custom-ho. rec. tailor of Romsey, in Hants, m. says Coffin,
Agnes Coffley, wh. d. 29 Mar. 1679, had Rebecca, b. 7 Mar. 1643; Sarah, 23 Mar.
1648; Ann; and Eliz. He was sw. freem. 25 May 1636, was deac. and d. 4 Aug.
1683, in 81st yr. RICHARD, Weymouth 1637, ment. by Winth. II. 348, may be he wh.
was rec. an inhab. of Boston early in 1642, a slater, being adm. of the ch. a
few days bef. and, perhaps, s. of a wid. Sarah, adm. in May 1639; freem. 18 May
1642, by w. Dinah bad Samuel, b. 9 Jan. bapt. 12 Feb. 1643, and bur. 25 Sept.
foll.; Joseph, 15, bapt. 18 May 1645; and by w. Joanna had Joanna, b. 24 Jan.
1653; James, 1 Feb. 1655; but it may be very diffic. to disting. him from others
of the name. RICHARD, Hampton, perhaps Portsmouth, 1643, was, perhaps, of Dover
1659, or bef. 1668, of Boston, a merch. RICHARD, Boston, by w. Joanna had James,
wh. d. 27 Sept. 1652; Sarah, b. 6 Nov. 1656; and Mary, 25 Jan. 1659. RICHARD,
Newport 1648, next yr. chos. Gen. Sergent, whatever that may mean, and many yrs.
bot. ld. of Ind. on the contin. 1665 in conjunct. with Henry Hall of Westerly.
He had eldest s. John of Norwich, as from law papers I learn; and this may
imply, that he had other ch. RICHARD, Boston 1673, bricklayer, was call. to
[p.39] serve in Philip's war on Conn. riv. in capt. Turner's comp. Perhaps he m.
Sarah Kimball, and had d. Eliz. to wh. her uncle John Kimball gave est. This
Richard was bred a carver, but m. a w. of superior mind, Sarah, d. of Thomas
Kemble, or Kimball, of Charlestown. They had only ch. Eliz. wh. m. John
Livingston of New London, and outliv. him. Some proof of the mother's literary
skill is furnish. by her journal of travels in 1704 from Boston to New York and
back, publish. so late as 1825 by Theodore Dwight, Esq. She had rem. aft. the d.
of her h. to Norwich, and thence to New London, where she d. 25 Sept. 1727. See
Caulkins's Hist. 372. RICHARD, Newbury, s. of the sec. John of the same, m.
Eliz. d. of Henry Jacques, had Henry, b. 6 July 1697; and Eliz. 11 Mar. 1702.
ROBERT, Hampton 1640, rem. to Boston, had, by first w. Samuel, b. 1642, wh.
prob. d. young. He m. Ann, the young wid. of Thomas Cromwell, the rich privateers man,
I presume early in 1650, and may thereafter have spent a yr. or more in Maine,
but had Edward, b. 5 Feb. 1652; and Martha, 1 Sept. 1653; beside James, in 1654,
wh. prob. d. soon; and he d. 27 June 1655; his will of 8 May preced. gave all to
w. with care of only ch. Edward and Martha. ROBERT, Marblehead 1648, may be he
wh. d. at Cambridge 29 Oct. 1652; but nothing more is kn. ROBERT, Kittery 1647,
rem. to York, d. 1676, his will of 23 June, pro. 24 Aug. of that yr. ment. s.
Richard, liv. in Boston. ROGER, Portsmouth 1631, among the people sent by Mason
the patentee. Belkn. I. 425. His d. Mary m. John Bruster or Brewster of
Portsmouth. SAMUEL, Roxbury, m. 16 Oct. 1685, Sarah, perhaps d. of Abraham Howe
of the same, had Mehitable, b. 9 Sept. 1686, d. under 17 yrs.; Samuel, wh. d. 20
May 1689; and Ebenezer, Feb. 1694. THOMAS, Salem 1661, a mason, perhaps s. of
Walter. TOBY, Newport 1638. WALTER, Salem 1626, had been here in 1622, and is
now sent over by the Dorchester people to strengthen Conant; perhaps was of
Duxbury 1****; in 1653 giv. evidence a. something that occur. in 1622, perhaps
only hearsay, he call. his age 66. WILLIAM, Salem, a mason, had gr. of ld. 1637,
yet seems rather to belong to Lynn, freem. 2 May 1638, had John, Ann, Francis,
Hannah, all by sec. w. Eliz. Jacob, Daniel, Eliz. and Mary, and d. 5 Mar. 1656.
From Lewis was this acco. deriv. by Farmer; yet there is evid. that he had John
and Francis, Joanna, and Mary only, all brot. from Eng. and that the s. both
went home, and there Francis d. without issue; but John aft. serv. the parliam.
cause in the civil war, obt. possessn. of est. in Eng. that was his f.'s m. and
d. in that country. His will, of 2 Dec. 1653, provides for div. of est. among
the ch. of both ws. ea. nam. and to eldest s. Jacob doub. portion. The inv. was
ret. when the will was pro. 28 June 1655. WILLIAM, Topsfield, came,
perhaps, in 1638, tho. by no means can I [p.40] agree with Farmer in mak. him
freem. on 2 May of that yr. imply of course that he had come as early as 1637,
when the prefix of resp. is wanting to this name next yr.; however it may be
that he came not bef. 1639, in wh. yr. he had gr. of 200 acres at Ipswich, to
the outlying farmers of wh. town, in 1641, at the place call. New Meadows, he
began to preach. This was 8 or 9 yrs. bef. the incorp. by its present name, nor
was a ch. allow. to be gather. there bef. 1645, as Winth. II. 254, tells, so
that prob. K. was discourag. at least bef. 1648 we kn. he went home. Mather,
putting him into his first classis of min. found no Christian name for him, yet
as above twenty others of the same list show the same deficiency, we may be
sure, he did not much inquire. Of this name, had, in 1834, eight been gr. at the
var. N. E. coll. yet none at Harv.

1657. Both he and his w. were liv. 1678. Eliz. m. at Haverhill, 14May 1663,
Nathaniel Smith. Part of the fam. tradit. that Nathaniel, f. of Daniel was from
Dartmouth, in Devon, may be reasona. eno. at least it bears no inherent improb.
as the more fondly desir. clause of the story does, that he was one of the first
comers to Plymouth; for that phrase belongs only to those wh. arr. in the yrs.
1620, 1, and 3, of wh. was no Ladd; and minute inquiry even shows, there was
nobody in either of the three passeng. lists with that bapt. name. * DANIEL,

Charlestown 1632, may have come two yrs. bef. but is first heard of in join. the
ch. with his w. Goodith in Dec. being the first adm. since the separat. from
Boston ch.; was freem. 14 May 1634, selectman 1636, and in the same office first
at the sett. off of town of Woburn to wh. he rem.
1641. In the gr. trouble of 1637 he was on the side of moderat. so far as to
disappr. the banishm. of Wheelwright. He d. says the rec. 1 Mar. but
Frothingham, wh. may have reason, says 5 Apr. 1646. A wid. Sarah says the rec.
d. 24 Jan. 1661, at Malden, and I find admin. 2 Apr. foll. on est. of wid. Jane
(but no doubt the same person), of M. yet I am wholly unable to guess wh. would
have been the h. unless she were a sec. w. of William, or we presume the rec. of
adm. into the ch. means only to designate her as his w. without giv. a name.
This to me seems the best solution.
