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  Also, some of his research is out of date with new discoveries since he wrote these volumes, but most of it is still in date and can tell you more about the families of Woburn.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

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.

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.

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.

Ann, and Frances, if this last be not, as sometimes said, Frederic, remain. in Eng. with his excellent w. of wh. three letters are in print. one in appx. to Hutch. I. 532; second in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 60, and third in Hutch. Coll. 432. Very large and impartial story of these regicides is in Hutch. I. 213-19; and the cool judgment of modern times may ratify what “matchless” 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.

Green, Abraham, Hampton 1678. BARTHOLOMEW, Cambridge, [p.300] freem. 14 May 1634, came the yr. bef. and d. the yr. foll. when mak. prepar. to rem. with major part of his neighb. to Conn. as is said; 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 Benjamin. CHARLES, Marblehead 1668. DANIEL, Wickford 1671, own. jurisdict. of R.

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.

JAMES, Charlestown 1646, freem. 1647, and of course his name is among the mem. of the ch. yet not found among householders; had w. Eliz. s.

John Fones of Kingstown, had Fones, James, Daniel, 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 pro. The w. brot. from Eng. mo. of all the ch. d. 1643, at Conanicut, where she had sought refuge in conseq. of her suffer. when the Mass. forces came to Gorton's planta. and took him and all his adher. prisoners. A sec. w. was Alice Daniels m. in Eng. but ch. is not heard of, nor by third w. Philippa, wh. d. 1687, aged 87. Mary m. James Sweet. The farm on wh. he was bur. is still enjoy. by his descend. JOHN, who came in the Francis from Ipswich, in Co. Suffolk. 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. Francis our dept.-gov. JOHN, Sandwich 1643, made his will 29 Feb. 1660, d. soon after. JOHN, New Haven, had John, b. 1651. JOHN, Kittery 1652, subm. to jurisdict. of Mass. that yr. JOHN, Fairfield 1648, made freem. 1662, had good est. *JOHN, Stamford, was rep. 1668-71, and perhaps later. JOHN, a freem. of Mass. 1654, may have been of Malden or Cambridge. †‡JOHN, Warwick, eldest s. of the first John of Providence, b. in Eng. came 1635 with his f. freem. 1655, m. Ann, d. of William Almy, had Peter, Job, Samuel, Richard, and four ds. of wh. Ann m. her cous. Thomas Green; one m. prob. Joseph Torry of Newport; Catharine m. Charles Holden; and perhaps Susanna m.

JOHN, Narragansett 1664, mark. senr. seems to render 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 (but that surname is too common to permit to guess wh.), and had, as the fam. report says, David, James, Increase, Job, beside sev. ds.

The inv. was of 23 July in that yr. NICHOLAS, is the name of a soldier in Moseley's comp. Dec. 1675.

Ellen, 32, and two serv. freem. 3 Mar. 1636, in the col. list whimsical. pervert. to Passevil, had John, b. June 1636; and Eliz.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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; Rufus, 6 Jan. 1673; and Nathaniel, 10 Apr. 1679; and he d. 5 June 1717, aged 76. 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.

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 wh. nine had been min. two at Yale, of wh. one was min. and thirty-one at the other N. E. coll. of wh. one had been min.

Keayne, giv. him a legacy in his will, has odd words of praise. EDWARD, Braintree 1640, by w. Esther had John, b. 23 Jan. 1651; and Esther, 23 Oct. 1654; may have been of Rehoboth in 1658.

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.

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.

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.

In utter despair of distinguish. for this work betw. those who spell with or without [p.416] final s.

His will of 8 Oct. 1707 (soon after wh. he d.), names all the eight liv. ch. JOHN, Plymouth 1630, prob. a serv. or apprent. withdrew next yr. to Mass. 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, 14 Mar. 1661; Mary, 28 Oct. 1662; Eliezur, 29 June 1664; Johnson, 1666; and Ebenezer; and d. 23 Jan. 1718, leav. wid.

Frances had John; Jonathan, b. a. 1639; Samuel, 1640; Hannah, 1641; Merey, 1642; Mary; Frances; and two or three, or four more, of wh. all but Mary, d. says tradit. 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. JOHN, Guilford, had perhaps been at Branford 1646, 8, and later, but after rem. had w. Frances, wh. d. May 1673, and by her had John, Sarah, James, Eliz. and ano. d. He m. at Saybrook, 3 Sept. 1673, Catharine, prob. the wid. of Alexander Chalker; d. 8 June 1689. In his will of Sept. preced. he names w. Catharine, the two s. the two ds. Sarah and Eliz. wh. were d. but left ch. and liv. d. m. to a Tapping. JOHN, Boston, perhaps br. of Valentine, adm. of our ch. 15 May 1647, m. 16 Jan. 1657, Eliz. Strong, wh. may have been d. tho. to me, it seems more prob. that she was sis. of Elder John. JOHN, Dover 1649-72, by w. Eliz. had Benjamin, b. 8 Apr. 1665. JOHN, Salem, of wh. we kn. only that, in May 1666, he was witness to the will of Capt. William Trask. JOHN, Boston, merch. by w. Mary had Eliz. b. 10 Nov. 1668; and John, 2 June 1673. JOHN, Portsmouth 1665, had w. Eliz. and perhaps s. Joseph, Nathaniel, and Samuel, wh. were all of P. in 1685. JOHN, Saybrook, m. 14 Apr. 1670, Jane Bushnell, had Samuel, b. 29 May 1671. JOHN, Guilford, s. of John of the same, had Mary, b. 1671, d. soon; John, 18 July 1672; Eliz. 20 Feb. 1675; Mary, again, Feb. 1677; Samuel, 21 Feb. 1679; Nathaniel, Apr. 1680; and James, Apr. 1682; these six all liv. when he d. 8 May 1690.

JONATHAN, Billerica 1679, s. of Ralph, freem. 1690. JONATHAN, Hartford, s. of William, by w. Dorothy had Dorothy, b. 1696; Jonathan, 1699; David, 1702; Sarah, 1706; and Thankful, 1710. *JOSEPH, Charlestown 1638, was from Malden, in Essex, 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 [p.418] foll. yr. Hannah, wid. of Edward Mellows. Again he m. Jan. 1656. officiat. as magistr. at the solemnity (of course, as third w.) Helen Atkinson, call. d. of Hugh, of Kendall, in Co. Westmoreland; and at Newbury m. 8 Mar. 1665, fourth w. Ann, wid. of Henry Lunt. He d. at N. 5 Feb. 1688, in 86th yr. His ch. were Joseph, b. prob. in Eng.; Gershom, b. 27 July 1639, bapt. 17 Feb. foll. bef. ment.; Mehitable, 1 Jan. 1641, d. young; as did also, John; and 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. b. in Eng. m. Nov. 1653, Hannah Smith, had Joseph, b. Oct. 1655; Hannah, Mar. 1657; John, Mar. 1666; Dorothy, 13 Apr. 1667; and Samuel, 16 Dec. 1667; but we are not always sure, from the rec. which was ch. of the elder or younger Joseph, who d. bef. his f. JOSEPH, Malden, s. of the preced. d. 19 Apr. 1674, and his w. Hannah (by wh. his only ch.

RICHARD, Charlestown 1638, cooper, perhaps br. of Abraham, or [p.419] Joseph, or both, d. unm. 29 Oct. 1639. See his will, print. as that of Iles, wh. is the first cop. into first vol. of rec. of Co. Suffk. abstr. in Geneal. Reg. II. 102, with a lucid explanation, Ib. 218. Confirmat. of the hypothes. of the modest writer, the late learned libra. of Harv. Univ. I could have furnished by the reference to the other end of the same Vol. I. of Suffk. Reg. of Deeds, where is giv. power of attorney from Henry, John, and William Iles, as also of Margaret Linton with her h. Thomas and of John Keene the sis. and brs. of the testator, execut. at Bristol, Eng. to enable one Henry Hazard to receive all and singular, &c. RICHARD, New Haven 1639. RICHARD, New Hampsh. wh. d. a. 1677, may be thot. the same, wh. at Pemaquid, in July 1674, took the o. of fidel. to Mass. ROBERT, New Haven 1639, signer of orig. comp. had come in the Defence, 1635, to Boston, embark. 14 July, aged 20 yrs. on business of Cradock, the first Gov. of the Comp. of Mass. Bay, at London, d.

He owned land in Eng. had Abiah, bapt. 23 Jan. 1648, d. young; John, b. 10, bapt. 12 Jan. 1651; Hannah, 18, bapt. 23 Jan. 1653; Ebenezer, bapt. 12 Aug. 1655; and Nathaniel, 22 May 1659, d. young. He m. sec. w. 1662, Adeline, wid. of Robert Johnson, and d. in Aug. 1663. ROGER, Saco 1653, s. of Peter, was constable 1661, m. 1658, Mary (or as ano. acco. says Sarah) Cross of Wells, had John; Samuel; Joseph; Benjamin, wh. d. young; and Ebenezer; beside ds. Sarah, Hannah, and Mercy. Folsom, 179. I suppose he rem. to Salem to escape Ind. hostil. and was freem. 1678. Of descend. very good relat. is seen in Geneal. Reg. XII. 139-145, and 258-264, by a very diligent hand. SAMUEL, Dorchester, s. of John of the same, by w. Martha had Martha, b. 20 Dec. 1667; John, 20 Dec. 1669; Thankful, 31 Jan. 1672; Mary, 31 Aug. 1674, d. at 2 yrs.; Samuel, Sept. 1676; Israel, 11 July 1679; Josiah, 1 Jan. 1682; and Thomas, 8 June 1687. In Morse, 101, is a statement of quite inconsist. facts. SAMUEL, Newbury, s. of first Joseph, m. 20 May 1679, Abigail, d. of David Wheeler, had Samuel, b. 16 Feb. 1680; Joseph, 21 July 1681; Nathaniel, 9 Feb. 1683; Benjamin, 16 Oct. 1684; Abigail, 2 Sept. 1686, d. young; Henry, 23 Apr. 1688; William, 8 Oct. 1689; Josiah, 27 July 1691; John, 20 Sept. 1693; Abigail, again, 27 June 1695; James, and Hannah, tw. 25 Feb. 1697; and Daniel, 8 Dec. 1700.
